Ask Game To Get To Know You
Tagged by @annebonnydyke
What book are you currently reading?
Born To Be Hanged, a book about the William Dampier/Lionel Wafer/Basil Ringrose piratical voyage in the late 1600s, and also The Scum Villain’s Self-Saving System. I switch between them frequently depending on mood. They are both overdue at the library and my account has been suspended so I really need to focus on them and stop reading fic instead. Anyway.
What’s your favorite movie you saw in theatres this year?
Wakanda Forever, but I’ve only seen 2. (I am counting 2022 as “this year.”)
What do you usually wear?
Work pants. One pair that’s black for actual work, and one pair that’s bluejeans for non work. Hoodies. And a lot of tank top/flannel combos.
How tall are you?
5’11
What’s your Star Sign? Do you share a birthday with a celebrity or a historical event?
Nice try trying to get my birthday, phishers D:
Do you go by your name or a nick-name?
legal name. Though my parents keep Ames & Amers in rotation
Did you grow up to become what you wanted to be when you were a child?
Yes! Though not the National Geographic part.
Are you in a relationship? If not, who is your crush if you have one?
Nope
What’s something you’re good at vs. something you’re bad at?
I am good at arguing. I am bad at walking away from an argument.
Dogs or cats?
Dog
What’s something you would like to create stuff for?
I’m currently on 3 of 4 (or possibly 6 depending on how I’m feeling) for wedding embroideries for my friends. (Each one takes me like six months. Sob.) And then fandom things. Also, silly little videos at the place I volunteer. Also, my job, and my other job. I need to be creating things in order to sit still.
If you draw/write, or create in any way, what’s your favourite picture/favourite line/favourite etc. from something you created this year?
That’s apples to oranges so I don’t really know. Let’s call it the My Immortal binding, just for humor’s sake.
What’s something you’re currently obsessed with?
the new book press I picked up yesterday. And the continuing humiliation of United States Representative Kevin McCarthy (R-CA)
What’s something you were excited about that turned out to be disappointing this year?
loaded question, will pass
What’s a hidden talent of yours?
idk. I’m not a very secretive person. People are always surprised that I have nice handwriting?
Are you religious?  
No. I just enjoy talking and reading about it.
What’s something you wish to have at this moment?
the patience to do some work that needs to get done

A Miraculous TikTok Account
Part 1/57, 97.7k words
Next
I was like “hey brain I’d love to do a shitpost social media au” and then it was like r e w r i t e m i r a c u l o u s
I don’t even know if it really even counts as miraculous anymore so much has changed god damn it --
Rena Rouge had never been so excited for anything in her life.
Of course, at first glance people would find that insane. She was going to a meeting, after all.
But it was the people that were also attending that had her practically vibrating she was so excited.
All the heroes of Paris were to be gathered under Master Fu’s orders. They hardly ever worked together, so having all four (five, including her, she reminded herself) together was pretty much a once-in-a-lifetime event. She wished she was still a reporter, this was the kind of thing she would have killed to report on back in the day…
Still, a part of her had to wonder why exactly they were all there. Master Fu had been vague when he’d called. She had some theories, of course, but all this waiting was starting to shift her excitement into nerves. She attempted to smooth out her tail, but ended up just tucking it under herself to hide her anxiety. Maybe she shouldn’t have come so early.
The first person to show up after her was Carapace. He’d poked his head through the door, the hood of his sleeveless hoodie pulled so low over his face that it partially hid his face. Then he broke into a wide smile and pushed the hood up a little to show the green glint of his mask. He made his way inside and took a seat next to her.
“Salu -- Bonjour!” His confident smile melted into an uncomfortable one. “Sorry ‘bout that.”
“Salut,” she said, not wanting him to feel awkward.
Besides, that was kind of his whole shtick. Carapace was the relatable hero, the one you could vent about your problems to.
(Well, technically you could vent to all of Paris’s heroes, they didn’t mind… but Carapace was the only one that felt close enough to actually try it with.)
Silence lapsed between them as they sat there. She tried to remember whether she had met him as Rena Rouge or not and he seemed unsure whether she wanted to talk, but they were distracted from their thoughts when Chloe walked into the room.
Chloe just kind of… does that. If Carapace was the personable one, Chloe was the one who felt the most unreachable. She was open about her persona, had to be after everyone found out about it, and exactly how relatable can a mayor’s daughter be? She’d leaned into it, though, opting for golden jewelry and wings that glinted in the light.
Neither of the present heroes said anything to Chloe, and Chloe didn’t acknowledge them.
Was it rude? Technically. But what else were they supposed to do? Chloe had made it clear a week ago that she didn’t like them. There’s no good conversation that can come after you get shit-talked on live tv.
The last person to be on time was Chat Noir. The original hero. He gave them a smile worthy of a model as he slipped inside. “Bonjour.”
“Bonjour,” said Rena and Carapace, and even Chloe gave a quiet hum of acknowledgement.
The leather of his black suit made a high-pitched squeaking sound against the chair when he sat down that made both him and Rena’s hair stand on end (literally).
Master Fu walked in to find Carapace trying to soothe two very frazzled miraculous holders and Chloe ignoring them on her phone.
He sighed and gently rapped his cane on the ground.
Instantly, the room quieted. Chat and Rena snapped out of their shock.
“Bonjour,” chorused everyone.
He smiled tensely. “Bonjour. Where’s Ladybug?”
“Not here yet,” said Chloe. She set her phone down on the table and crossed her arms over her chest. “There’s nothing in the papers, either.”
Master Fu nodded a little bit and took a seat at the head of the table. “We can wait for her. There’s no rush.”
Carapace hesitated before raising his hand. “There’s… a bit of a rush. I was procrastinating a college app and it’s due tonight…”
“It shouldn’t be long,” said Master Fu.
This was true. About five minutes later Ladybug burst into the room, panting softly. “Bon… jour...”
“Thanks for finally showing up,” said Chloe.
No one knew for sure, because Ladybug’s eyes were completely white, but they got the feeling that she was rolling her eyes.
“There was an akuma.”
“Really? There was nothing on the news…” said Rena, genuinely confused, but she trailed off when she realized that maybe getting one of your childhood heroes in trouble was a bad idea if you wanted to have a good relationship with said childhood hero.
Thankfully, Ladybug didn’t seem all that annoyed. “That’s because the news anchor and her crew got swallowed by it before they could get any information out. Anyways, it’s dealt with.”
With that, Ladybug took a seat in the last open chair. There was a beat as she smoothed out the red and black folds of her dress and then she crossed her legs and smiled at everyone.
Master Fu sighed and shook his head, slowly placing his cane in his lap.
“Now that everyone is here, would anyone like to guess why?”
The heroes of Paris stiffened a little bit. That sounded a lot like they were in trouble. They didn’t want to be in trouble.
Rena slowly raised her hand. “Is it… because of what Queen Bee said last week?”
The heroes’ expressions soured a bit at the memory. The video of Chloe trash talking all of them to an interviewer had blown up, and now they could hardly do anything without having at least one reporter hounding them for a response.
None of them could give any, though Rena was sure at least some of them were tempted. The public was supposed to think them all friends, or at worst friendly coworkers. It gave them hope, seeing them all working together for team ups, and analyzing their friendship dynamics kept them relatively distracted from the fact that it had been six years since the first hero had first arrived on the scene and they still had virtually nothing on Hawkmoth.
But now that illusion had been shattered (and trust her, she knew a lot about illusions). Akumas had been more active this week.
“That’s precisely it. Thank you, Rena.” Master Fu regarded them all carefully. “What do you think we should do about it?”
Really, they’d had no clue what to do about their image.
Chloe hadn’t been joking, she’d made that plainly obvious, so saying she didn’t mean it or that was just the type of friendship they had wasn’t going to work…
“Act more like friends…?” Said Ladybug when no one spoke up.
Master Fu nodded.
“Oh, so more team ups or something?” Said Chat.
Carapace shrugged. “Don’t know how much of that I can do, since I’m the only one that can consistently get in the water, but…” He shrugged again. “... sure, I can do that.”
The old man drummed his fingers on the table lightly to bring their attention back to him.
“Yes, that, too, but I was thinking something more… convincing.”
Rena decided that she definitely didn’t like the way his eyes gleamed.
“So, until you manage to defeat Hawkmoth, you will all be living together.”
Everyone opened their mouths to argue but he held up a hand to silence them.
“And you’ll be doing it publicly, posting regular content about it to a social media platform of your choosing…”  He put his hand down. “Now you can complain.”
The teens all immediately started attempting to talk over each other, their voices steadily increasing in volume as they tried to be the one to get their complaints heard.
Rena was silent. Part of her thought that she should be complaining. She had siblings, after all, she had a life outside of heroism… but she couldn’t help but smile. She would be living with her childhood heroes (for a long time, probably, because the Hawkmoth situation was not getting better)! And, really, her sisters could get annoying at times. She’d love an excuse to get away.
So instead of arguing she leaned back in her chair and watched everyone else.
Chloe was the most passionate about it, her jewelry flashing with every wild swing of her hand. Her voice was the loudest, but with the other voices in the room and the fact that she was literally buzzing in her anger it was hard to make out what she was saying.
Chat seemed distressed and Rena could see his mouth saying “I don’t think I’d be allowed to” repeatedly even if she couldn’t hear him over Chloe’s screeching.
Carapace’s face was set in an uncharacteristic frown as he complained. Sure, of those voicing their complaints, he definitely seemed the most relaxed, but the fact that he was frowning was in itself proof of just how upset he really was.
Ladybug was quiet, though she didn’t look particularly happy about it. Her lips were pressed into a thin line as if she was holding herself back from yelling as well and her fingers worried at the hem of her dress.
After a minute of this, Master Fu raised his hands for silence and instantly got it once again.
“Are you done?”
The general consensus was ‘no’, if the looks on their faces meant anything, but they nodded anyways.
“Good. Chat Noir, I’ve already worked everything out with your dad, we’ll discuss it more after the meeting is over.”
Chat relaxed a bit.
“Carapace, your schooling will not be affected. In fact, you’ll likely have a better college experience since all your food and toiletries will be paid for by me.”
Carapace’s expression shifted to a thoughtful one as he considered this.
“Queen Bee, must I remind you of the fact that you’re on thin ice as it is?”
Everyone’s eyes shot to Chloe, who had paled considerably. Her angry buzzing quickly lowered to a dull hum and she settled back into her seat.
Master Fu seemed sated by this, and he looked at Ladybug and Rena.
“And I’m assuming I don’t need to convince either of you?”
Rena shook her head instantly. Ladybug took her time to consider, but eventually shook her head as well.
“Great. Now, shall we talk logistics?”

Logan didn’t have the faintest idea of how these things usually went. All he knew was that he was nervous as hell and sweating like a pig. 
He’d never felt like this before. His hands were shaking as he flipped open the little velvet box for the hundredth time, making sure he still had both rings. They weren’t anything flashy, just two simple bands of silver with an engraving on the inside 
The lion, le poisson, and the earthquake
He’d spent hours at the jeweller’s, only to settle on something so embarrassingly simple that he’d almost reconsidered a thousand times in the past 20 minutes.  
No. He wanted this. He wanted this more than anything. And he wasn’t going to let his irrational fears get in the way today. 
Logan sucked in a breath, his knee bouncing uncontrollably below the table, his fingers drumming on the table. He looked in the mirror one last time, running a hand through his hair and straightening his shirt before jumping off the chair to check on the food.
The first people he’d told were Dumo and Celeste. They were like parents to him and he’d wanted their advice— and blessings— before he actually did it. Naturally, Dumo had burst into tears and told him how proud he was and Celeste had given him a hug and asked if he needed any help. 
So, that’s how Logan had ended up here, waiting in their apartment, trying his best to not pass out. 
Celeste had helped him make most of the food, but he’d insisted on making the cake himself. He’d wanted something that he’d made by himself for them. It had occurred to him that they might say no, but he’d reasoned that if they said no, at least he’d have cake. 
He smoothed out invisible wrinkles from his shirt, tugging at the rolled-up sleeves. Logan was finding it impossible to sit still, and he sighed in exasperation, yanking his phone out of his pocket to text Finn and Leo for the hundredth time—
Only to have the door open to reveal the both of them, trying to share a pair of earphones while simultaneously lugging in three shopping bags. 
Logan’s shoulders eased just a little, his mouth twitching up at the corners as he watched his boys shenanigans. 
Logan, oomph, done ogling? We could use a little help here.”
Logan grinned, walking over to Finn, prodding him in the side before taking a particularly heavy bag off his hands. 
“Ah yes, my liege, I live to serve.”
He dropped a  kiss onto Finn’s head, grabbing the bags from him, the easy banter easing some of the tension from his shoulders. 
 Leo huffed, setting down the heavy bags as he nudged the door closed with his foot. 
“Someone’s been busy,” Leo grinned, cocking an eyebrow towards the table, groaning under the weight of the food
Logan’s pulse ratcheted, the apple he was holding slipping from his fingers. He ducked, catching it just in time. 
“Oh—I, um...Yeah! I made us all dinner. Go get cleaned up. I’m hungry.” 
Finn laughed, tapping Logan’s ass on his way to the bedroom.
“Quit your grumbling tremz, I’ll be right back.”
Logan rolled his eyes, shaking his head fondly at the retreating redhead. He was quickly distracted by Leo, shrugging off his coat while kissing Logan, his hands tangling in Leo’s hair. 
Leo grinned, lifting Logan onto the kitchen counter, swallowing his choked gasp when Leo’s icy fingers slipped up his shirt. 
Leo’s stomach grumbled viciously, and Logan pulled away, dropping chaste kisses onto Leo’s mouth in between fits of laughter. 
“Nous allons obtenir un peu de nourriture dans toi mon amor” 
Leo smiled, kissing Logan one last time before he toed off his shoes, putting them away neatly, immediately making a beeline for the food. 
Logan’s eyes darted around the room, frantically checking everything for the umpteenth time, mentally checking things off. 
“Mon Cheri? What’s up? You look a little pale.” Leo frowned, putting his hand on Logans forehead
“No fever, but you’re so sweaty. Are you alright?”
Logan grinned, shrugging it off as the summer heat, pulling away from Leo with a shaky excuse to set the table.
Holy shit that was close
~
Logan was almost positive he was going to have a heart attack. He was watching Finn and Leo having an animated conversation, Finn leaning over occasionally to kiss Leo, ruffling his hair fondly. 
Leo was laughing at something Finn had said, his eyes crinkled at the corners and his nose all scrunched up, his laughter so bright it could light up the world, and Logan knew in that moment, that it was now or never. 
Neither of his boys noticed when he slipped the little box out of his pockets, or even when he dropped to the floor in one feline motion. 
Logan looked up at his beautiful boys, smiling and laughing in the firelight and cleared his throat, giving the velvet box in his hands a little squeeze. 
Finn and Leo turned to look at him almost immediately, Finn’s hand slapping across his mouth when he saw the silver bands in Logan’s hands Leo’s laughter trailing off into a choked gasp when he finally saw the rings. 
Logan’s mouth twitched up into a smile as green eyes met hazel and then blue. 
“Finn, Leo, the both of you are the light in my life. You are the reason I get up everyday and the reason I am here at all. I never thought I’d get to have….this. I never thought there would be anyone who could love me as I am, rough edges and all, and I am so so lucky to have not one, but two of the most brilliant men in the world by my side. I love you both to pieces and I don’t know where I would be without you. You— you are my reason mes amours. And I— I’m not good with this….romantic stuff.” Logan paused, trailing off as he struggled to get his feelings across.
Leo had a hand across his throat, tears spilling down his cheeks as he gave Logan a watery smile, “you’re doing great, mon amour.”
Logan smiled, swallowing the lump in his throat. “But I just wanted to say that I love you. I love you more than I can say and there is nothing that will ever change that. I love you so much that it hurts sometimes, but that’s okay because what’s a little pain when I get to have you. Mes amours, you are the missing pieces I was look for. I love you and I will forever love you. Marry me?”
Logan realised the tears had slipped free, he was grinning even as the moisture slipped down his cheek. 
Leo shot Finn a look, squeezing his hand under the table as he wiped away the tears. Finn beamed, leaning his head against Leo’s as they both looked to Logan as one. 
“Yes! Yes yes YES!” 
The three of them were sobbing as Logan slid the rings onto their fingers, kissing the back of their hands lovingly. They collapsed onto the floor next to him, pulling him in close. 
This was home. This was love, this was joy, this was life. This was everything.
“Logan, mon amour as much as I love you, fuck you.” 
Logan pulled away from the embrace, his mouth falling open as he gaped at Leo 
“Excuse me, what?!”
Leo laughed, swiping at the tears on his cheek as he reached behind his head to undo the clasp on the chain he wore around his neck. 
“I was going to propose to you.”
Logan shared a look with Finn as they dissolved into laughter, doubling over as they looked at the two rings swinging slightly on the necklace. 
“You said those were your grandfather’s!”
Leo shrugged sheepishly. “Well it’s not like I could’ve just told you!”
Logan giggled, tackling Leo to the floor to press kisses onto every inch of skin he could reach. 
Finn laughed, tugging Logan back to him to press a long, slow kiss to his mouth. Pulling away to see love and joy shining in those green eyes he loved.
 Logan tipped his head to the side, dropping his head into Finn’s neck as he pressed soft kisses to the warm skin.
 “Oh my god I love my life.” Leo groaned from where he sat under Logan, the latter’s thighs pressed around his waist.
 Logan smiled into Finn’s neck, trailing kisses up the redhead’s jaw to his mouth even as he reached out a hand to Leo.
 Finn groaned aloud when Logan’s mouth met his, his fingers digging into the small of his back as Leo sucked a bruise onto Logan’s neck.
 Logan gasped, turning his head to meet Leo’s lips, kissing the blonde with a bruising intensity, his body trying to say everything his mouth couldn’t. 
Finn grinned as he pulled away from where he had a left a bruise of his own next to Leo’s, grinning as bright as the sun when he kissed the tops of their heads. 
“We’re getting Married!”

So I've never actually seen /u/ryans01 excellent post re-posted here on tumblr, and I think it could help a lot of people, so I'll repost it below. Link to the original
Ouch. Sounds like you're having a tough time max. That sucks. I've been there, so I kinda know what you're talking about. I've been in the ever circling vortex of self doubt, frustration, and loathing. It's no bueno. I know. If you don't mind lemme tell you a couple things. You can read em if you want, read em again later if you feel like it. But honestly man, if I spend all this time typing this out to you and you don't let it be a little tinder for your fire, well, you're just letting us both down. And you don't HAVE to do that. You don't HAVE to do anything. But you get to choose.
(Who am I? My name’s Ryan and I live in Canada. Just moved to a new city for a dream job that I got because of the rules below. I owe a lot of my success to people much cooler, kinder, more loving and greater than me. When I get the chance to maybe let a little bit of help out, it’s a way of thanking them. )
Rule numero uno - There are no more zero days. What's a zero day? A zero day is when you don't do a single fucking thing towards whatever dream or goal or want or whatever that you got going on. No more zeros. I'm not saying you gotta bust an essay out everyday, that's not the point. The point I'm trying to make is that you have to make yourself, promise yourself, that the new SYSTEM you live in is a NON-ZERO system. Didnt' do anything all fucking day and it's 11:58 PM? Write one sentence. One pushup. Read one page of that chapter. One. Because one is non zero. You feel me? When you're in the super vortex of being bummed your pattern of behaviour is keeping the vortex goin, that's what you're used to. Turning into productivity ultimate master of the universe doesn't happen from the vortex. It happens from a massive string of CONSISTENT NON ZEROS. That's rule number one. Do not forget.
La deuxieme regle - yeah i learnt french. its a canadian thing. please excuse the lack of accent graves, but lemme get into rule number 2. BE GRATEFUL TO THE 3 YOU'S. Uh what? 3 me's? That sounds like mumbo jumbo bullshit. News flash, there are three you's homeslice. There's the past you, the present you, and the future you. If you wanna love someone and have someone love you back, you gotta learn to love yourself, and the 3 you's are the key. Be GRATEFUL to the past you for the positive things you've done. And do favours for the future you like you would for your best bro. Feeling like shit today? Stop a second, think of a good decision you made yesterday. Salad and tuna instead of Big Mac? THANK YOU YOUNGER ME. Was yesterday a nonzero day because you wrote 200 words (hey, that's all you could muster)? THANK YOU YOUNGER ME. Saved up some coin over time to buy that sweet thing you wanted? THANK YOU. Second part of the 3 me's is you gotta do your future self a favour, just like you would for your best fucking friend (no best friend? you do now. You got 2. It's future and past you). Tired as hell and can't get off reddit/videogames/interwebs? fuck you present self, this one's for future me, i'm gonna rock out p90x Ab Ripper X for 17 minutes. I'm doing this one for future me. Alarm clock goes off and bed is too comfy? fuck you present self, this one's for my best friend, the future me. I'm up and going for a 5 km run (or 25 meter run, it's gotta be non zero). MAKE SURE YOU THANK YOUR OLD SELF for rocking out at the end of every.single.thing. that makes your life better. The cycle of doing something for someone else (future you) and thanking someone for the good in your life (past you) is key to building gratitude and productivity. Do not doubt me. Over time you should spread the gratitude to others who help you on your path.
Rule number 3- don't worry i'm gonna too long didnt' read this bad boy at the bottom (get a pencil and piece of paper to write it down. seriously. you physically need to scratch marks on paper) FORGIVE YOURSELF. I mean it. Maybe you got all the know-how, money, ability, strength and talent to do whatever is you wanna do. But lets say you still didn't do it. Now you're giving yourself shit for not doing what you need to, to be who you want to. Heads up champion, being dissapointed in yourself causes you to be less productive. Tried your best to have a nonzero day yesterday and it failed? so what. I forgive you previous self. I forgive you. But today? Today is a nonzero masterpiece to the best of my ability for future self. This one's for you future homes. Forgiveness man, use it. I forgive you. Say it out loud.
Last rule. Rule number 4, is the easiest and its three words. exercise and books. that's it. Pretty standard advice but when you exercise daily you actually get smarter. when you exercise you get high from endorphins (thanks body). when you exercise you clear your mind. when you exercise you are doing your future self a huge favour. Exercise is a leg on a three legged stool. Feel me? As for books, almost every fucking thing we've all ever thought of, or felt, or gone through, or wanted, or wanted to know how to do, or whatever, has been figured out by someone else. Get some books max. Post to reddit about not caring about yourself? Good first step! (nonzero day, thanks younger me for typing it out) You know what else you could do? Read 7 habits of highly successful people. Read "emotional intelligence". Read "From good to great". Read “thinking fast and slow”. Read books that will help you understand. Read the bodyweight fitness reddit and incorporate it into your workouts. (how's them pullups coming?) Reading is the fucking warp whistle from Super Mario 3. It gets you to the next level that much faster.
That’s about it man. There’s so much more when it comes to how to turn nonzero days into hugely nonzero days, but that’s not your mission right now. Your mission is nonzero and forgiveness and favours. You got 36 essays due in 24 minutes and its impossible to pull off? Your past self let you down big time, but hey… I forgive you. Do as much as you can in those 24 minutes and then move on.
I hope I helped a little bit max. I could write about this forever, but I promised myself I would go do a 15 minute run while listening to A. Skillz Beats Working Vol. 3. Gotta jet. One last piece of advice though. Regardless of whether or not reading this for the first time helps make your day better, if you wake up tomorrow, and you can’t remember the 4 rules I just laid out, please, please. Read this again.
Have an awesome fucking day ☺
tldr; 1. Nonzero days as much as you can. 2. The three you’s, gratitude and favours. 3. Forgiveness 4. Exercise and books (which is a sneaky way of saying self improvement, both physical, emotional and mental)
Edit: Wow reddit gold? Thanks! No idea what to do with it or whats the deal but many thanks!
Edit2: Someone asked what I meant by "much more when it comes to how to turn nonzero days into hugely nonzero days". The long and short of it is a simple truth, but it's tough to TOTALLY UNDERSTAND AND PRACTICE. It's this: you become what you think. This doesnt mean if I think of a tree, I'll be oakin' it by august. It means that the WAY you think, the THINGS you think of, and the IDEAS YOU HOLD IN YOUR MIND defines the sum total that is you. You procrastinate all the time and got fear and worry goin on for something? You are becoming a procrastinator. You keep thinking about how much you want to run that 5 k race in the spring and finish a champion? Are ya keeping it in mind all the time? Is it something that is defining your ACTIONS and influencing you DECISIONS? If it is, then you're becoming the champion you're dreaming about. Dreaming about it makes it. Think and it shall be. But do not forget that action is thought's son. Thoughts without actions are nothing. Have faith in whatever it is you've steeled your mind to. Have faith and follow through with action.
Ok, Ryan that's a bunch of nice words n shit, but how does that help me turn slightly nonzero days into hugely nonzero days. Do you believe all these words you just read? Does it makes sense to you that you BECOME WHAT YOU THINK OF? Ask yourself: What do I think of? When you get home and walk in the door. (how quickly did you turn that laptop on? Did turning it on make you closer to your dreams? What would?) At the bus stop. Lunch break. What direction are you focusing your intentions on? If you're like I was a few years ago, the answer was either No direction, or whatever caught my eye at the moment. But no stress, forgive yourself. You know the truth now. And knowing the truth means you can watch your habits, read books on how you think and act, and finally start changing your behaviour. Heres an example: Feeling like bunk cause you had zero days or barely nonzero days? THINK ABOUT WHAT YOURE DOING. and change just a little bit more. in whatever positive direction you are choosing to go.

omg the freetime/hobbies hcs were very cute ;-; would it be alright to have sum ushijima, oikawa, and any of your fave hq bbys? 🥺 (stay safe where u are 🙆🏻‍♀️❤ have a great day luv u) -👑
(referring to this) hi crown anon! i hope you are staying safe and please have a great day as well <3 wrote this while taking a break from studying - this is my last week of tests and projects and then it’s summer!!! anyway i hope you like these i love writing things like this thanks so much for sending it in!!!
askbox is open, please read the rules before sending anything in!
_
Ushijima
i’ve said this before but i feel like he loves to bake?? bake or cook either one but he probably owns an apron gifted to him by tendou that he uses whenever he’s in the kitchen and he owns like six cookbooks and watches baking shows and cooking shows too
to add onto that he grows a lot of his own food, like veggies and things like that. probably keeps his tomato plants in his room sometimes and probably read to them at one point because he watched a video on that
he likes to read in his free time, and he isn’t too picky about what genre, but he likes reading classic books the most or even mystery/thrillers since he’s good at figuring them out
watches the news when he gets up early in the mornings while he eats his breakfast. then he goes for a run or exercises afterwards, and sometimes he’ll watch the news again in the evening. he didn’t think it was weird until he tried to talk to someone about a current event and they gave him a funny look when he asked if they watched or read the news
Oikawa
grows chia pets. he got one for his birthday as a kid and it stemmed into his part time side hobby. he only has a few in his room since he doesn’t want too many but he likes watching them grow and he takes good care of them
he also loves making his own coffee. probably wanted to work at starbucks at one point so he watched a ton of coffee youtube videos and ended up leaning how to make a lot at home.
he also probably learns a skill when he has nothing else to do. (trying) to learn a new language, learning how to knit, sew, make your own toothpaste. this is why he knows some random phrases in other languages or knows how to do random things
he’s probably the glasses wearer that periodically cleans his classes or maybe even washes them every morning or keeps the little cleaning cloth with him at all times. uses the case they originally came in. forgets where he put them sometimes but they’re always just sitting on his head
Akaashi
definitely either has a pet cat or fishes or both. takes incredibly good care of them and trains his cat to not eat the fishes but just sit there and stare at them through the aquarium glass. names each of his fishes and can tell them all apart regardless of whether or not they look alike
probably went through a space phase that never fully went away and it shows a bit when you walk into his room. he’s got astronomy books in his bookcase and has a small map of the solar system by his bed. watches documentaries on space as procrastination for not doing his homework
he taught himself how to play the piano one summer, since they have one in his house that his mom used to play for him a lot as a kid. so he quickly picked it up and he plays it from time to time
he likes to clean a lot since he thinks its therapeutic. same goes for organizing things. if his rooms a mess it doesn’t stress him out, it’s an excuse to take a break and put everything back into its correct place and just exist for a bit

gif by @nanzse, found here.
Tumblr media
Jeongguk's room is washed golden as he lays on his bed, soft lofi playing from his phone next to him as his fingers in an unmotivated manner slowly press lettered keys on his laptop. He couldn't be less excited about writing this essay, the assigned topic of 'happy accidents' being something he's not really able to make a connection to.
After getting down a simple, uncreative title at the top of the page, only to end up deleting it, he sighs as he rolls over on his back and lets his eyes flutter closed. The rays of sunshine seeping in through his open window feel nice against his honey skin, the mild May breeze brushing it ever so slightly. This would be perfect if it wasn't for the empty document displayed beside him, calling at him to finish writing already.
He loves evenings like these, just being, listening to the hustle of Seoul coming from the streets as a soft beat escapes his phone. There's something about sunsets that renders a calm to wash over Jeongguk's body, no matter how stressful or dull his day might be - the sight of a sunset makes him stop for a moment; makes him pause and enjoy the present. It's something he treasures deeply, how the warm hues of orange blend in with the blue. It makes him feel excited to be alive, thankful to exist.
He imagines it’s like finally being able to release a breath; coming up for air when you've been held under the surface for almost too long. It quiets his mind, rids him of thoughts that weighed down on his shoulders during the day.
A sudden pling erupting from the laptop causes Jeongguk's eyes to open, the sound harsh in contrast to the music that brought him to his own, peaceful utopia. He frowns as he sits up, grabbing his laptop and placing it in his lap before he leans against the wall his bed is pushed up against.
Jiminie's phone would like to share a photo.
The notification makes Jeongguk furrow his eyebrows in confusion. Who is Jiminie and why is he airdropping Jeongguk of all people? 
Out of boredom and in search for another excuse to procrastinate the essay, he decides to see what the stranger wishes to share with him. He clicks accept, and on his screen two pictures appear - causing a scoff to escape Jeongguk's lips.  It's dumb really, but despite the unnecessary and pointless pictures, he feels a small smile spread on his lips. He expected something stupid, something to cause a huff and a roll of his eyes - to make his disappointment in humanity increase further.
On his laptop, two pictures of a cat wearing sunglasses are displayed. Jeongguk shakes his head as he snickers quietly by himself. He really doesn’t understand why he finds it so funny but he can't deny it made his evening a little bit better, the dull mood caused by the essay a bit brighter.
He decides to write a thank you in return, typing a few words of gratitude before he hovers over the send button. Should he reply? Maybe he shouldn't. What if the airdrop was sent to the wrong person? It'd make him look stupid if he wrote back.
After over-scrutinizing further, he chooses not to send anything back after all and goes to hit delete, but presses down on the wrong button.
Note sent.
He curses under his breath, cheeks turning crimson in embarrassment. It’s been done, there’s no reason to dwell over it. There’s nothing he can do.
He shakes his head and runs a hand through his hair as he shuts the tab, and he's once again met with the sight of a blank page, making him sigh in frustration. Happy accidents. What is he even supposed to write about? His mind is blank, much like the document before him, there's really no specific event in his life relating to the theme he's able to think of.
What a foolish choice of topic.
He feels his heart skip a beat in surprise as yet another notification pops up on his screen. He nibbles at the skin of his bottom lip for a few seconds before he clicks accept once more.
7:49 PM: My pleasure! So... 'Genji', what are you up to?
Jeongguk squeezes his eyes shut in further embarrassment at his laptop device name. He could’ve just gone for something normal, something simple like 'Jeongguk's laptop'. He sighs at himself as he starts writing a reply to the stranger, who he assumes is named Jiminie - a wild guess thanks to the device name; the simple, non-cringey device name.
7:51 PM: It's Jeongguk. I'm up to nothing much, just procrastinating my essay...  u?
Jeongguk presses send before he gets the chance to hit the backspace button and overthink his choice of words. After his note is sent, he finds himself waiting for a reply - eyes lingering in the corner of the screen as he looks for the next notification to pop up. Or the next excuse to further procrastinate, if you will.
And before long, there's another note waiting to be accepted. Without hesitancy, Jeongguk clicks it.
7:54 PM: Bored, looking for something to do... maybe some fresh air could benefit the both of us? ;)
The reply makes Jeongguk quirk an eyebrow at his screen, a faint blush settling over cheeks as he feels flutters of excitement in his gut and nerves blooming in his chest. A few minutes go by as he reads the words over and over, asking himself what to do. He eventually decides to reply even with the amount of intimidation he feels - despite his introverted nature. This time he sits for longer, fingers hovering over keys as he looks for words that sound okay in his head.
8:01 PM: What are you initiating, Jiminie?
Jeongguk’s heart beats fast in his chest as he presses send, fingers picking at the fuzz on his cheek as he partly dreads the reply, partly looks forward to it in a strange anxious excitement. This is so unlike him, to do spontaneous stuff like this, make plans and decisions last minute - especially when he’s well aware it’s involving a complete stranger. He likes knowing what’s gonna happen and giving himself time to mentally prepare for occasions like these, or preferably avoid them.
8:02 PM: Meet me on the rooftop in 20? I'll be waiting.
His face grows hotter as he reads the note repeatedly. He's never done anything like this before. It makes him excited, but causes his hands to become clammy at the foreign but tempting opportunity - a subtle anxiety starting to grow in his chest as he thinks of all the possible ways this could end.
Does he go up to his rooftop in twenty minutes to meet the stranger, put himself through awkward silences and worry? Or does he stay inside, alone, to continue procrastinating his essay?
The latter of the two options does sound much more boring, however, more comfortable and safe in his mind. Yet, he can't help but feel intrigued by this Jiminie he just chatted with, and he's curious.
Fuck it.
He gets up from his bed, grabbing a decent outfit from his wardrobe before throwing it on. He stands in front of the mirror, scanning over the black fabrics before shrugging and deciding it'll do. He doesn't want to be overdressed, or appear as if he actually worried about how he looks. Which he in reality, actually did - but Jiminie doesn’t need to be aware of that.
Before he knows it, fifteen minutes have passed. He slips his boots on and proceeds to stand by the door, watching the time tick on his phone. As the numbers read 8:21 PM, Jeongguk inhales a shaky breath to calm himself before he steps outside of his apartment.
Nerves spread like wildfire in his chest as he walks up the staircase towards the door leading to the rooftop. He stands before it for a few seconds, trying to compose himself before pushing it open. He's met with a world illuminated pink and the smell of cherry blossoms, a warm pleasant breeze brushing through his hair as he takes a hesitant step outside onto the concrete floor.
He doesn't do stuff like this. Jeongguk likes keeping to himself, he enjoys being alone in his room. The most communicating he does is through his headset while playing overwatch. What got into him today, what reason made him say yes to meeting a stranger on his rooftop, he's not certain of.
Jeongguk closes the door behind him as quietly as possible before turning to scan the area, eyes looking for someone unfamiliar; someone his eyes have yet to know.
He's caught by surprise as his wandering gaze stops at the sight of a figure. He sees pink, pink hair swept by the gentle wind. Soft pink, rosy and warm in contrast to the lightblue fuzzy jacket the figure is clad in - a contrast replicated in the sky above.
He's even further intimidated by the daring choice of hair color, another reason along with the previous one of the bold, somewhat flirtatious way he asked Jeongguk to meet on the rooftop just twenty minutes ago.
Jeongguk, after gathering the courage, slowly starts walking closer - nerves almost prompting him to quietly turn around and return to the safe, comfortable space of his apartment. He could leave right now and come up with an excuse as to why he couldn't show up. He considers it for a second, however, he quickly shakes the thought away, not wanting to go through with it no matter how tempting it may be.
He's tired of excuses.
He keeps moving forward, closer to Jimin standing with his back towards Jeongguk - looking out over Seoul.
As his boot scrapes against the ground, the pink-haired turns his head - looking over his shoulder to meet Jeongguk's doe eyes. He looks like a deer caught in the headlights.
More like a bunny, maybe?
Jimin smiles at the sight, now turning with his whole body to greet the younger. "Jeongguk-ssi, you showed up," says Jimin, perfectly plump lips stretching into a smile; showing off his flawlessly aligned teeth.
Jeongguk doesn't say anything, still a few meters away when he stops to give a small bow in respect.
He still doesn’t know why he agreed to this, he’s very well aware a silence like this always lays in the air around him when he’s meeting new people. That’s why he usually avoids occurrences like these, not wanting to put himself in such an anxious state.
He's always awkward when meeting strangers, especially if he's alone - when the conversation is depending on both him and the other involved to keep going. He never knows what to say, never able to find words that feel right. He hates small talk.
Although with Jimin, there's weirdly a welcoming atmosphere in the air. A smile that allows his shoulders to relax slightly, an ambience that tells him to breathe out and be himself. Jeongguk has never felt anything like it before.
Jimin keeps the younger's gaze, and the attention makes Jeongguk look down as a subtle blush settles over the tops of his cheeks. At the same time, while Jimin exudes a scenciere and relaxing vibe, his aura also feels intimidating - radiating confidence and self-esteem much unlike Jeongguk.
Jeongguk doesn't like to stand out in a crowd, he's reserved and timid - he'd rather stay quiet and he has no problem with that, he likes being alone to some extent. When he goes too long without meeting any of his close friends though, he tends to get lonely. That’s when he finds himself wishing he was different in that sense, that he could go out and make new friends whenever he felt like it without having to worry so much about first impressions, or if he stutters too much. 
His wardrobe is mostly black, not only because he simply likes how the color looks on him - but also because it feels safe, it’s not too out there. He usually puts on a bucket hat whenever he's out and about, mostly to avoid any awkward eye contact. He could never imagine himself dying his hair pink, or any other color for that matter - since he imagines it'd bring him unwanted attention.
That's just the way he is, and he's always been that way. But he can't deny the desire to be braver, more willing to experiment and explore. He wants to experience more, like dating or just going out with friends without worrying too much. He almost feels stuck, restricted because of this anxiety. It sometimes keeps him up at night, has him wondering who and how he’d be as a person if he was different in that aspect.
Jimin is somewhat stunned himself, much like Jeongguk. He really had no expectations going into this, but the person before him wouldn't be one of them if he did. He wasn't picturing someone who wears black oversized clothes, someone so big and muscular - yet shy. There are obvious outlines of a toned chest under the fabric of the hoodie, only a little more obvious than the pink apples of his cheeks. It makes Jimin's heart warm.
"Are you not gonna join me?"
Jeongguk averts his eyes from his own boots as Jimin’s voice pierces the silence, even though it’s soft and inviting. He becomes very aware he's still standing an awkward distance away at the question, giving Jimin as small nod as he walks up to the railing - fingers tightening into fists as he tugs at the sleeves of his hoodie.
His gaze wanders over the busy street below as he searches for the right words to say, but he can't seem to find any. He sneaks a glance at Jimin before he looks up at the sky, feeling a solace embrace him. He exhales as his body relaxes at the sight of the sunset. Everything’s okay.
"Do you-" he stutters slightly, stopping mid-sentence to compose himself. "Have you lived here long? I haven't seen you around," he manages to say, a small flower of pride growing in his chest.
Jimin is taken aback hearing the shy speak, gaze falling upon him to meet big, constellation-filled brown eyes, in which create a sunset of their own as the sky reflects in them - an even prettier one, as stars in his orbs decorate it further.
"No not really, I moved in just a few weeks ago," Jimin replies. "I spend the majority of my days at work though, so that's probably why we haven’t met yet."
Jeongguk feels a question linger at the tip of his tongue, deciding to let it free before he overthinks it.
"What do you do?" he asks, partly to keep the focus of the conversation away from himself but for the most part out of curiosity.
Jimin smiles at the interest, running a hand through his hair before speaking. "I do contemporary dancing, weird huh?"
"I don't think it's weird," Jeongguk shrugs. "Why do you say that?"
Jimin looks out over the city, painted pink, as he searches for an answer. "Well, it's not a typical job and you don't really earn a lot doing it. Most people would say it's stupid to work towards a career like mine, that it won't get me anywhere."
Jeongguk listens as Jimin speaks, and he notices a spark of passion glimmer in his eyes.
"So why did you choose that path?" Jeongguk surprises himself as the question rolls off his tongue, noticing how his shoulders are no longer as tense.
"I've been dancing ever since I was little, there's just something about it that I love. It's my escape, in a sense. Whenever I dance, all I do is move to the music - I don't think of anything, I don't worry. It’s almost as if my mind goes quiet." He says, eyes following the fluffy clouds floating over the sky. "It's really not about earning money for me, and even though it's nice to benefit from it in a financial way, that's not what keeps me going. It may be tough sometimes but I love dancing, and that's why I do it. Despite it not being an average job, or the most reliable and profitable one."
"I like that though, the fact you're doing something that's different. I think it's important to do something you enjoy, something that makes you excited to wake up and get ready. I hope I can find a passion like that in the future." Jeongguk avoids meeting Jimin’s gaze for even more than a second, eyes moving from him to the sky, then down to watch people walk by below.
Jimin turns to Jeongguk with a smile, chest filled with warmth at his words. "I hope so too."
Jeongguk gives a small smile in return as a silence falls over the both of them, but it's not one you necessarily want to fill. It's peaceful and comfortable, much to Jeongguk's surprise.
They stay like that for another hour, sitting with arms resting over the railing as their feet dangle over the edge of the building while they get to know each other - carefully stolen glances and unspoken words lingering at the tips of their tongues. Night has now fallen over the city, neon lights decorating the streets as bars become crowded and streets become busy - even more so than before.
Upon spending time together, albeit for just an hour or two, Jimin finds himself growing quite fond of Jeongguk.
At first sight, he wouldn't have expected the boy next to him to be so shy - as someone who blushes at compliments and eye contact lasting for more than a few seconds. All this is hidden beneath his attire, sporting chunky boots along with ripped jeans and an oversized hoodie - also considering that these are all black. Dark from head to toe. It almost makes him intimidating to Jimin, in a way. However, Jimin must admit it looks really good on him, it suits him, but it doesn't match his personality one bit. He's sweet and timid, all bunny smiles and dimples with big, sparkly, doe eyes - far from what Jimin would associate with the dark, edgy style he's donned in.
After another tranquil silence hangs in the air around them, Jimin looks at the watch on his wrist - noticing the clock is nearing 10 PM. He’d love nothing more than to stay here, learning more about Jeongguk, talking nonsense, just being in his presence.
He had heard Jeongguk laugh for the first time as he asked about his device name ‘Genji’. He had with a smile explained the reasoning to Jimin, talking about how it was inspired by a character named just that of his advice from a game he played - because said character is one that needs healing, in this case, charging the most often. Jimin has never found video games fun or entertaining, but when it’s Jeongguk who speaks of it; he feels as if he could listen for hours, secretly admiring the dimples that dip in his cheeks as he smiles.
“I have work tomorrow, I should probably get my eight hours of beauty sleep in before I have to wake up,” Jimin chuckles, and as much as he hates to say it - he really needs to get rest considering he’ll be working on a new choreography tomorrow, which he knows requires more energy and focus than just practicing.
They accompany each other as they make their way down from the rooftop, shoulders brushing as they walk down the stairs - slowing down as they step onto the seventh floor.
"This is me," Jimin says, head nodding in direction of the door with the number 202 on it.
Jeongguk stands quiet, a small smile on his lips as he suddenly feels awkward again - gaze wandering around the hallway, avoiding the other’s eyes.
Jimin decides to speak instead of waiting for Jeongguk to, having gathered by now that he’s someone who needs that extra push to get comfortable around someone - that it's easier for him to speak if someone helps guide the conversation forward. Although, he noticed Jeongguk slowly warming up to him on the roof; and he’d be laying if he said it doesn’t makes his heart happy.
"Thank you for meeting me tonight Jeongguk, I had a really great time," Jimin says, smiling as he backs up towards his door.
"So did I," Jeongguk replies, looking down at his boots as his smile grows bigger. "Goodnight, Jimin-ssi." He gives a small bow in Jimin’s direction.
There's really no need to be so formal anymore, there never was, but Jimin appreciates the gesture of respect nonetheless.
He decides to play along, bowing at a 90 degree to the younger angle with arms stiff against his sides. "Sleep well, Jeongguk-ssi."
Jeongguk chuckles at him, and the sound makes Jimin smile.
Minutes later, Jeongguk walks into his own apartment - adrenaline rushing through his veins because of the new, exciting experience. He lets himself lean back against the door after closing it, eyes squeezing shut as he smiles widely.
He feels stupid, like he’s a teenager with a crush. As he thinks back to what just happened, thinking about Jimin's smile, his light touches over the fabric on Jeongguk's shoulder - he feels a tickle in his gut, cheeks growing hotter as he longs to be in that presence again even though it’s only been minutes since they said goodbye.
He tries to shake the thoughts of the pink-haired away but it’s of no avail, kicking his boots off and stepping into his apartment as he exhales. He figures there's no use trying to finish his essay now, knowing his mind will wander to picture Jimin's face in his mind - try to recall the sound of his angelic laugh.
Oh, how he loves Jimin's laugh. The way he throws his head back, eyes turning into crescent moons as his hand comes up to cover his mouth - his knees almost buckling underneath him. He laughs with his whole body, and it makes Jeongguk feel a kind of joy he's never felt before. He'd do anything to hear that laugh over and over again, he’d even give up overwatch.
Jeongguk falls back on his bed, eyes staring up at the ceiling as he tries to rid his mind of Jimin again. It's hopeless. He's already too far gone.
Tumblr media
The next few days go by agonizingly slow. Jeongguk sits through multiple online classes, each getting harder to concentrate on than the previous one.
He got a taste of Jimin that night, his smiles, his touch, his laugh. He got a taste of that new, alien feeling - the butterflies, the leap of his heart inside his ribcage.
He craves more. He wants to feel it again, he wants to feel that rush he felt when they first met - that joy he felt by just being with Jimin, sitting next to him and listening to his voice as he speaks.
By Friday noon, three days later, he's on his way home from the nearest store with his beloved bucket hat on as per usual, a bag in each hand as he walks back home - most of the contents being ramen and banana milk, of course. He pushes the door to his apartment complex open by turning around and pressing his back against it, squeezing himself along with the heavy bags through the frame before walking over to the elevator.
He'd secretly wish to bump into Jimin, anywhere, anytime - like he has been ever since they met on the rooftop - but he's been finding it useless so far. He still has yet to see Jimin again.
Jeongguk had been sitting in his bed yesterday, fingers itching to send an airdrop to Jimin, something like a casual ‘what’s up?’, but he never went through with it. He'd feel desperate, clingy - he didn't want to seem that way. He shut his laptop with a sigh, pulling the covers up to his chin before closing his eyes and returning to his utopia - sunsets, lofi, and Jimin.
A new addition to his paradise. Someone he's so uncertain about, someone he barely knows, but yet he feels so sure of.
Jeongguk reaches up to press the button on the wall, hissing quietly as the handles of the paper bag strains against his wrist. Only a few seconds later, the elevator doors slide open - but the small space isn't empty. In the elevator stands Jimin with messy hair, gaze moving from his phone in his hand to look before him where Jeongguk is standing.
"Oh! Jeongguk-ssi," Jimin beams, stepping out of the elevator. 
Jeongguk almost feels relieved to see the bright, joyful, pink-haired boy again - heart skipping a beat at the pleasant surprise. "Hi," He exhales, eyes locking with Jimin's.
“I like your hat,” He laughs, walking by Jeongguk. “Shame it covers your pretty face.”
Jeongguk’s breath is caught in his throat by the unexpected compliment, blood rushing to his cheeks - making him thankful he has the hat on to hide it. He stays quiet, not really certain how he should respond to such words.
"I'd love to speak but I have to hurry back to work." Jimin doesn't stop as he talks, but turns around and walks backwards as he keeps Jeongguk's gaze. "Meet me later? Same time, same place?" He says with a small smile, not caring to wait for an answer before he turns around and exits the building.
Jeongguk stands frozen, eyes stuck by the door where Jimin is now nowhere to be seen. For the few seconds he got to see Jimin again, he's grateful - but he wishes their interaction wasn't so brief, too quick for him to take in the beauty that is Park Jimin.
Jeongguk returns from his pink haze as the elevator doors start sliding shut again, quickly putting a bag in between them to stop the motion before he steps inside. He feels giddy as he waits for the arrival to his own floor, staring blankly in front of him as he repeats Jimin's words in his head.
'Meet me later'.
His heart leaps in his chest, an unwanted smile spreading across his lips as he looks down at the floor in embarrassment - despite being alone in the elevator.
Jimin too, can’t help but smile as he gets into his car. Since he asked Jeongguk to meet him three days ago, since they talked on the rooftop, Jimin often caught himself thinking about the boy - wondering what he’s up to. Even when dancing, he can’t help but let his mind wander, making it difficult to focus on perfecting his moves for the new choreography.
He feels a weird, unusual connection with Jeongguk - one he’s never felt before, not even with his past lovers or any of his friends. It almost feels like they were supposed to meet that night, like it was destined. Like they’re fated to know each other.
Tumblr media
Jeongguk finds himself sprawled across the sofa hours later, phone in hand as he repeatedly checks the time - a random k-drama playing on his TV, in which has been given minimal attention since he put it on. He lets out another sigh after looking at his phone, noticing only a little over an hour has passed since he checked it at 4 PM.
Three long hours left until he can see Jimin again.
Seconds feel like minutes, minutes feel like hours. But eventually, the clock strikes 7:50 PM and Jeongguk immediately gets up from the couch, excitement quickly spreading through his body.
Finally.
He finds Jimin the same place he was standing when they met three days ago, now sitting down on a blanket instead of leaning against the railing. He doesn’t hesitate before he starts walking closer this time, causing the older to look his way at the sound of his unusually confident footsteps.
“What’s this?” Jeongguk chuckles, gesturing to the blanket and pillows placed on the concrete.
Jimin smiles, patting the ground next to him for Jeongguk to sit down. “I figured we’d be here for a while and standing up isn’t really that comfortable.”
That’s probably for the best, Jeongguk figures, since he found himself worried Jimin would fall if he laughed too hard when they previously met. He almost wants to laugh at the memory of his doubt in Jimin’s balance.
He’s a dancer for god's sake.
Jeongguk pushes the tickling thought to the back of his head before he nods with a smile, sitting down next to Jimin before looking out over Seoul - a beautiful sunset once again painting the city in orange and pink hues. 
“I missed you,” Jimin suddenly speaks, hand coming up to run soothingly over Jeongguk’s back - giving him shivers running down his spine.
Jeongguk looks at him for a few seconds before returning his gaze to the skyline with a small smile sneaking its way onto his lips. “You did?” He asks, voice quiet as he fiddles with his fingers.
“Yeah, did you miss me as well?” 
You’re all I’ve been thinking about.
Jeongguk only answers with a small nod, head turning slightly to look at Jimin again - cheeks rosy with timidity. Jimin snickers at him before looking out over the city again. 
“Do you wanna listen to music?” Jimin asks, grabbing his phone from his pocket.
Jeongguk feels weirdly cold despite the warm spring evening as Jimin’s hand falls from his back.
“Uh yeah, sure.” 
Jimin holds it for Jeongguk to take. “Put something on.”
“Oh... I’m not sure you’ll like my taste in music,” Jeongguk shakes his head.
Jimin only laughs at his shy behaviour. “Don’t worry so much, Gguk.”
Jeongguk releases a barely audible sigh as he looks at Jimin, taking the phone from his hand hesitantly - feeling butterflies in his stomach at the nickname, the flutters only intensifying as his fingers accidentally brush over Jimin’s, tingles lingering on his fingertips at the touch.
“What do you listen to?” Jeongguk asks while he presses letters on Jimin’s phone, trying to find a playlist that looks good enough.
“I listen to a lot of different music because of work, but I really enjoy ballads with acoustic guitars and stuff - any calming music really.”
Jeongguk nods to show he’s paying attention, fingers stopping their scrolling as he finds a playlist - pressing play before handing the phone back to Jimin.
A soft beat fills the air around them, along with the lively sound of Seoul coming from the streets below them.
“Lofi?” Jimin smiles, placing the phone in between them on the blanket.
Jeongguk nods, eyes following Jimin who lays down on the blanket next to him - head landing on one of the pillows. Jeongguk follows shortly, letting himself fall back to lay beside him.  
“It’s nice~” Jimin sighs in bliss, looking up at the pink sky.
Jeongguk and Jimin talk about everything and anything as the sky darkens and stars come out from hiding. Hours later they're still laying next to each other on the concrete, stargazing into the black abyss.
Jeongguk turns his head to look at Jimin, who is looking up at the celestial bodies above. "So, do you just casually airdrop strangers in your freetime?" He asks with a laugh, referring to a few days ago when he got that first notification.
Jimin chuckles, placing an arm under his head. "No, I was just really bored so I airdropped everyone available."
“I thought I was special,” Jeongguk jokes, acting disappointed as he pouts.
Jimin hits the younger’s shoulder lightly, laughing before looking up at the stars again. “You are, I haven’t met anyone else I sent the pictures to.”
"Why did you ask me to meet you?"
Jimin turns to Jeongguk again at the question, eyes meeting. "You're the only one who replied to me."
With cheeks turning rubescent at the intense gaze Jimin gives, Jeongguk looks up at the sky again as a smile creeps onto his lips. He feels his heart flutter in his chest.
"Jeongguk," Jimin says, trying to get the attention of the boy laying next to him.
"Hm?" Jeongguk hums in response, unaware as he turns his head to look at Jimin once again.
Jimin doesn't say anything else, only admires him. Jeongguk is drawn in by Jimin's stare, not wanting to look away again. He too, admires the other's face. Soft skin, pretty nose.
Pink, plush lips.
Jimin turns to lay on his side, now even closer while simultaneously causing their faces to end up only a few inches apart as they stay looking at each other. Jeongguk keeps still with bated breath as he notices Jimin's gaze fall to look at his lips - making him unconsciously part them as his own gaze falls down to admire Jimin’s, trying to imagine what they would feel like against his own.
Without thinking too much, or giving himself time to change his mind and back out; Jimin leans forward - slowly inching closer. Jeongguk's heart beats fast in his chest but he lets eyes flutter closed as he feels the brush of lips against his own, excitement and tranquility blooming in his chest all at the same time. The touch is feather-light against his lips, but it makes him feel more than he ever has before.
When Jimin finally presses his lips firmly against Jeongguk’s, it makes him exhale deeply through his nose as pink explodes in his chest.
Jimin’s hand comes up to cup Jeongguk’s cheek as he leans in further, deepening the kiss even more - making Jeongguk’s body relax against his touch and lean into it. Jimin lets his tongue swipe over Jeongguk’s bottom lip lightly, prompting them to open before he feels the younger’s tongue against his own. He feels Jeongguk’s breath tickle against his skin as the kiss intensifies.
After a few more seconds of connected lips, blissful exhales, tasting Jeongguk’s cherry lip balm, Jimin pulls away and opens his eyes to look at him. Jeongguk’s eyes stay closed as he licks his bottom lip before biting down on it, still tasting Jimin's lips on his own. Jimin licks his own lips as he watches, aching to feel Jeongguk's pressed against them again.
"Hmm, are you wearing cherry lip balm?" Jimin hums with a voice barely louder than a whisper, a small smile on his lips as he lets his thumb brush over Jeongguk’s bottom lip.
Jeongguk breaks into a bunny smile, hands coming up to cover his eyes as he turns shy at the thought of what just happened. Jimin snickers at his behaviour as he sits up, looking down on his wrist to check the time.
12:08 AM.
"It's late, we should probably-" He's interrupted by a pull of his shirt, causing him to fall back into his previous position.
This time, it's Jeongguk's turn to initiate the kiss - lips pressing against Jimin's again. He surprises himself by the action, but he can't help it - longing to taste Jimin's lips a second time, feel them against his own once more. 
Jeongguk cups Jimin’s face with both hands as he tilts his head to deepen the kiss, to feel Jimin even closer. He wants to stay like this forever, he wants to be with Jimin for as long as possible. He never wants to let go.
Their lips meeting holds just as much passion as before but lasts for a few seconds less before they have to part again, both needing to catch a breath because of the intensity of the kiss. Jeongguk chases after Jimin’s lips before letting his fall down on the pillow beneath him in defeat, realizing he needs to regain a steady breath as he feels his chest heave up and down.
Before standing up, Jimin places a haste, light kiss on Jeongguk's nose - making him scrunch it in an adorable manner. Jimin chuckles as he watches Jeongguk open his eyes slowly, an apparent blush laying across his cheeks as he looks up at the older.
Jeongguk's smiles with his bottom lip caught between his teeth as he shamelessy admires Jimin, still not moving from his position on the floor. He feels so happy.
Is this what true happiness feels like?
The end of his week turned out much different from what he ever could’ve imagined. Normally, he'd be laying on his sofa by this hour, stuffing his face with ramen while having some anime or k-drama playing on the TV - happy and relieved he’d be getting two days without having to attend any classes.
If at the beginning of this week, someone told him he’d be kissing his neighbour at midnight by the end of it - he'd think of them as crazy. Jeongguk? The timid and introverted Jeongguk? Kissing someone? He himself couldn't see it happening anytime soon. He figured it’d be too hard for him to find a connection like that with someone, considering his shy nature.
But here he is, the inside of his chest painted pink because of his love-struck state, butterflies wild in his stomach - eyes looking up to admire the person standing in front of him.
The stars in the sky seem to shine brighter than ever before. He finds himself feeling euphoric, almost high on the emotion. He feels relaxed and free of any burdens, just like the sunset they'd been watching earlier managed to make him feel.
He never planned for this to happen, he never expected his week to end up this way. But it did, by a single slip of his finger.
Jeongguk met Jimin through serendipity; a happy accident.
Happy accidents.
Oh, how happy he is they exist.

7, 8, 9, 16 and 17 for the asks game would you kindly? ( if its a bit much jst answer whichevr u wnt, srry fr th big request!!! )
*wrestling announcer voice* HELLLOOOOOO V!!!!! fam do not apologize i literally love answering these asks with my entire heart so im SO HAPPY you asked a whole bunch!!! i hope your life is popping off and if not, i hope you’re at least taking care of yourself today :) 
7. Something you hate to see in dialogue.
thank you v for giving me the opportunity to legally complain on main. i think the absolute biggest sin i see in dialogue is dialogue that sounds like anyone else could be saying it. dialogue that’s so bland and dull that it doens’t even matter who’s speaking because it’s so devoid of personality that literally anyone else could be saying these words. while i hate mischaracterization, there’s nothing worse than someone who doesn’t even try to characterize their characters, especially in fanfiction. 
and also poor grammar, but i’m more lenient on that because some people use fanfiction to practice english and i would never berate people if that’s the case. 
8. Something you love to see in dialogue.
on the flip side of things, when you can feel that the author knows what they’re doing with these characters that it bleeds into the dialogue is just the best shit ever. dialogue that flows and it feels so genuine. dialogue that reflects the dynamics of the characters is just *chef’s kiss*. ive yelled about it so much but i love love love character dynamics with my whole being and i always try to do my best and focus on character dynamics everytime i write a fic, but i’m still practicing. oh and this is completely stupid but i’m obsessed with dialogue from the fast and furious series LMFAO sorry i just needed to mention that. writing blinding lights, whenever i needed to hype myself up i literally watched scenes from the fast and furious movies. 
9. What’s your fandom’s most overused trope?
fantastic question op (can i say that?? are you the OP in this case or is it me? whatever). hmm crossovers? that’s a big one. getting together fics are fantastic, but sometimes i just want to read some good established fic (but this is the case for every fandom, in my humble opinion). another one is soft!goro but i won’t get into that too much lest i get stoned on the cross hehe. (but goodness me i have so much to say about akechi, but that’s another thing). OH and a few people brought this up, but ann being being used as the ‘love doctor’ friend trope isn’t the most overused one but it’s common. it’s a shame!! 
16. What’s the most ridiculous thing you’ve done to put off actually writing?
getting a university degree
no but really, i love writing. if anything, i write to get away from doing other things! writing is something i love to do and its never been something i procastinated in doing. i’m not working towards a novel or being commissioned or anything, so whenever i write i guarantee you that i wanted to write it. fanfiction is a labor of love! if you take away the love then...i guess it’s just labor? the only time i excused writing in recent memory is that i was at the point where my wrist hurt so bad (i write all of my fics by hand first) that i considered going to the drug store to buy one of those wrist things (i didn’t since i could spend that money doing other things instead), and that’s the only time i put writing off. 
17. How are you procrastinating today?
great question. i am procrastinating by answering this ask and talking to @mad4turtles. i have a crap ton of linguistics assignments to do that’s due tomorrow but i saw this ask and it cheered me up so here i am answering it! thanks for helping me procrastinate king 
hope you’re okay with how lengthy this answer was, hehe. thank you again!!

With Time: Chapter 13 - Confidence in Progress
Author’s Note: Here we are, posting more With Time! I love the response to the akuma in the last chapter, it was a ...unique thing to write. Anyways, without further ado, here's chapter 13!
Chapter Summary: Marinette talks with Fu quickly. The Quantics and Co. bake cookies.
First | Previous | Saturday
Marinette knocks on the door, waiting for the Guardian to open the door. 
She doesn’t have to wait long, she’s allowed in quickly, “Ah, Marinette, we’ve been expecting you.” Master Fu speaks calmly.
“You have?” Did she mess up that bad?
“When Wayzz and I saw that The Revealer lasted so long, we were certain it would not be long before Tikki or Plagg fell ill. It would seem Tikki is the first.”
“Given Plagg’s nature to take longer breaks, that is no surprise.” The turtle Kwami shows up above Fu’s shoulder. They walk into the same room where Tikki first got healed. Marinette lifts her Kwami gingerly from her bag and gives her to Master Fu, who nods and begins.
After the ceremony is finished, Tikki munches happily on a cookie in front of Marinette.
“Master?” She’s been debating this for so long, postponing and procrastinating as long as she can, but being here already, she has no more excuses. “Yes, Marinette?”
“I can’t call on Rena Rouge or Carapace anymore.” Given how she reacted to simply seeing Alya and Lila, there is no hope that she can work efficiently as a team with them anymore. She studies the floorboards, unable to meet his eyes. She failed to choose heroes well. He’s going to be so disappointed.
He sips from his tea calmly, “Why is that?”
“I- you told me to choose someone I can trust, and…”
“And you no longer you feel that your choices are worthy of that honor.” She would have phrased it a little differently, more along the lines of fearing the wrath of a betrayed friend, but maybe she can think of it that way instead. It feels better that way.
“...yes.”
“Very well. It is understandable to come along bumps in the road. You are a smart heroine, Marinette, I will trust your judgement.”
“But what if I choose wrong again? How many ‘bumps in the road’ will there be?” She doesn’t want to mess up again. Not after last time.
“Perhaps you should consider the actions of a hero. When I looked for people to become the holders of the Black Cat and Ladybug miraculouses, I considered their actions. You, as well as your partner, proved yourselves to already being capable of heroic acts, without the jewelry.”
“So I need to find people who… already act like heroes?” She finally meets his eyes, and finds nothing negative in them.
“Indeed. Being heroic does not require magic jewelry.” He pours more tea for himself, “You mentioned that Rena Rouge and Carapace would not be fighting anymore, but what of Queen Bee?”
That didn’t even occur to her. She’d not even considered Chloe, because the blonde had been less involved in the actions leading up to Marinette’s transfer. No, that isn’t entirely right. She’d been involved, but in a positive way. She’d been the one to bring her home on Thursday, calming her down in the bathroom.
She’d even apologized for her past actions. 
“I- I think there will be a new holder for the Bee miraculous as well.” “But…?”
“But I think that having the miraculous has helped Chloe change. For the better. I think that if I needed back-up and she was available, I would choose her. I trust her - more that Rena and Carapace.”
“So in the event that you require the assistance of the Bee, or if the new Bee holder is unavailable, you would allow Ms. Bourgeois to take up the title temporarily?” Master Fu looks to her for confirmation.
“Yes. I would.” She nods.
“I will inform Trixx and Pollen.” Wayzz floats up from his snack. Marinette feels bad, he and Nino seemed to get along well.
“I’m sorry, Wayzz.”
“It is quite alright, Marinette. I was aware from the start that the arrangement may not be permanent. I do regret that Nino made the choices he did. Perhaps this will be a learning experience for him. I can only hope.” 
Marinette smiles weakly at him and he flies to the Miracle Box. Her phone dings in her pocket.
“Perhaps you should be on your way. Unless there is anything else?”
“No, Master.” She starts toward the door, “Thank you.”
Once outside she glances around quickly before looking to her purse.
“How do you feel, Tikki?” The little Kwami looks a lot better, she’s sitting in the purse looking up at Marinette with bright eyes holding a cookie in her paws.
“Much better, thank you!”
“It wasn’t a problem, you were sick, I couldn’t leave you like that.” What if there had been another akuma? Tikki would have felt even worse after that, and that would be terrible.
“Why am I any different than you?” She knows the Kwami is thinking of her behaviour on Saturday, overworking herself to get her to the point that she got to. Marinette shakes her head. 
Why is it different? It just is. Tikki is the Kwami of Creation and Marinette is just some human girl. But she’s Ladybug, she’s a hero. Maybe it isn’t that diff-
Tikki makes surprised squeak and ducks back into her bag, Marinette glances up and sees Adrien coming this way. She’s still standing in front of Fu’s place and there’s no way she could leave without catching his eye.
He hasn’t noticed her yet, due to how intently he’s looking into his bag, seemingly talking to himself. Once he reaches the massage shop, he stops and looks to the door. He finally notices Marinette and pauses, staring at her in slight confusion,”Oh, uh, hey Marinette. What are you doing here?”
“I- uh, um, tea! My… maman! Yes, my maman wanted some tea and sent me here! For the tea!” she smiles convincingly, “Wh-what about you?”
“My uh, Chinese tutor, uh wanted me to come to him today, so… yeah.” 
She nods, that makes sense.
“Actually, Mari, how are you?” He cocks his head at her slightly, looking at her caringly.
“What?” Did she worry him somehow? How did she do that? Why did she do that?
“I, um, happened to be near your school during the akuma attack. I saw Alya and Lila… it looked like you had noticed them too? I just, uh, tried to distract them. They’re back at Fr- school now.”
Right. Alya. And Lila. Do they know? Do they know where she goes now? Are they going to find her? They’re going to find her at school tomorrow. They’re going to confront her, her friends will find out just how much she sucks, they’ll hate her too, because of course they would that’s what she des-
Adrien puts a hand on her shoulder, interrupting her spiraling, “Marinette.”
“R-right. Um, I’m good. I-I’m fine.” He looks at her doubtfully, but before he can say anything more, she continues,”Anyways, I should get this tea! Back to Maman! And you, probably need to uh, get tutored! For chinese! Ummm… yup! Bye!” She turns and hurries away, waving over her shoulder at him as she goes.
The rules. The rules. She can’t just disregard the rules.
 Rule #6: If asked, you’re doing good
 She’s good. Absolutely fine. Perfectly great. No need for anyone to worry about her. Her phone dings again. 
Right! She’d completely forgotten that someone had texted her. She’d ignored someone. They were probably worried about her now. Stupid.
 Rule #11:  Adrien, Claude, Allegra, Allan, and Felix have been nice enough to put up with you, don’t make them regret it.
 Or it’s her parents, who don’t have a choice in enduring her stupidity. Either way, she’d ignored someone for longer than necessary and now they’d either been forced to check with her again or they were finally letting her know that they’re done with her nonsense.
 Kid Mime: hey if u want to come over when ur dun u can!
Kid Mime: were mking cookies
 HE LOVES US: I fear they may burn down the building.
HE LOVES US: ...
Felix: Marinette, excuse me for a moment to exact revenge on Claude.
 The Mom Friend: dont worry
The Mom Friend: there fine
 Oh. They weren’t mad. They didn’t hate her. 
Yet.
Maybe she should go? They wouldn’t hate her for it if she’d been invited. They were making cookies, that would be fun. 
You’d get in the way. You’ll be that killjoy that gets too specific about the recipe.
“You should go!” Tikki has made her way onto the girl’s shoulder, “Cookies are fun!”
Tikki likes cookies. She would go for Tikki. That’s okay, right? It’s not selfish if you’re going for someone else?
 Patiserie Princess: im on my way
 ---
 As soon as she knocks on the door, it opens and she is whisked into Claude’s kitchen, where chaos is likely about to ensue. There are, presumably, all the ingredients necessary out along with a few measuring cups. There’s a bowl on the counter that might be meant for mixing all the ingredients, but it’s probably too small. The stove has a pot on it but the stove is off. Claude already has some flour on him, despite the flour being closed. Allan is taking out a few more ingredients, while Felix sits at the counter with tea, content to watch for now. It’s probably a good choice considering his black clothing would display any and all flour that lands on it.
Something is placed on her head. She looks up to see Allegra beside her.
“Thank goodness you’re here. Claude decided I’m in charge and I don’t know what I’m doing. You’ve got the hat so you’re in charge now.”
“M-me?! Are you sure I should?”
“You live in a bakery, and regularly assist in baking goods for sale. Of all of us you will be the most capable of directing us in creating baked goods.” Felix sips his tea as he says this.
“Yay! Marinette’s here to save us!” Claude throws his arms in the air as Allan puts the last of the ingredients on the counter.
“Hey, ‘Nette.” he looks at the chef’s hat, “So what do we do?”
“I don’t know, uh… where’s the recipe?” She still wasn’t convinced that she is the best to be in charge. They’ve never seen her as a leader, are they sure they want her to do this?
Allegra hands her a sheet of paper printed from a website. Marinette skims it quickly. It’s pretty good, but being raised by two bakers she makes some small adjustments in her head. Used to correcting recipes at home, she grabs a pen and quickly scribbles them onto the paper. Something in her switches, and she steps back with a mindset she hasn’t used in her civilian life since before. Her friends see the different expression - a new one for them - and smile.
“Alright, so first we’re going to need to melt the butter. Allan, I’m going to need to you turn the stove to a medium heat and keep an eye on it. Once it is boiling, stir it constantly until it is an amber color. At that point let it cool for twenty minutes.”
She hands him the two sticks of butter and turns to Claude and Allegra, “You two should measure out and mix the dry ingredients.” She hands them the corrected sheet, “And you’re going to want a bigger bowl.” She approves their new bowl, taking the old one with her as she clears a space a little away from the others to cut up the pretzels.
While they’re all distracted by their tasks, there’s a knock at the door. Felix stands and opens it, allowing Adrien into the kitchen. He starts to speak, but stops abruptly as he takes in the scene before him.
At this point Allegra and Claude have finished mixing and are just talking. Marinette has mixed the chocolate and butterscotch chips and pretzels together in a bowl. She’s standing at the stove with Allan and they’re talking as well. Felix has returned to his tea and none of those involved in the baking have noticed him yet. A timer beeps and Marinette straightens.
“Alright, the butter is cool now. Allegra, can you put the eggs and vanilla in with the butter? Allan can you do the brown sugar? I can mix it, and Claude, you can mix in the stuff in the other bowl when we get to that point.” Marinette is entirely in her element, having been raised on recipes that were probably more complicated than this one. She knows what to do and is easily directing those around her to include them all in the process.
Adrien hasn’t seen her so comfortable and confident - especially when directing others - in, well, a while now. It’s nice to see. He decides against interrupting and sits next to Felix to watch.
Father wouldn’t allow him to join in such a messy activity anyways.
Soon enough, the cookies have been put in the oven and Marinette sets the timer for them. She takes the hat off her head, “There! All done! I told you that it wasn’t that complicated!”
“That’s ‘cause you actually knew what you were doing!” Claude exclaims, hugging her.
“I am still certain that without your presence Claude’s kitchen may not have survived this experience.” Felix stands to put his mug away and the others finally notice Adrien.
“Oh hey, Adrien. When’d ya’ get here?” Allan sits at the table with the blond.
He shrugs, ”A little bit ago. I didn’t want to interrupt.”
“You could have said something, if you want to join.” Marinette has yet to flip back to her normal state of mind. She’s channeling her Ladybug mindset for public situations.
“Father wouldn’t have wanted me to.”
At this, Marinette gets a defiant tone and her expression changes to yet another new one for all but Adrien, “Well y-” She cuts herself off abruptly, remembering herself and slouching slightly, “Well that’s unfortunate.”
“I think that you should do what you want. He’s not here to stop you.” Allegra sits as well.
“Last time I tried that we were chased through Paris by a mob of fans.” The others are confused, but before any of them can question further, Marinette drops her head to the table.
“Ugh. I still can’t believe I was in my pajamas that whole time. How did I forget to change into my clothes before leaving the house? Aaaaaah.”
Adrien snorts at that and Claude slams his hands onto the table (but gently), “Storytime?!”
“It was on the news…” Adrien supplies, wondering if that would jog their memories - if they’d seen it at all.
“Don’t remind meeee…” Allan pats Marinette consolingly. Her head is still on the table.
“It’d still be more fun to hear it from you guys.” Allegra leans forward excitedly.
Adrien shrugs, deciding to start with the news footage. He pulls it up on his phone and puts it in view of all of them. Marinette sits up to watch it, cringing every so often.
“Anyways that’s just the early stuff-”
“So not even all of it, you didn’t even see my brilliant disguises.” Marinette covers her face with her hands.
“It turned into an akuma attack eventually.”
“You got dropped off the side of a building…”
“He what?!” Allan interrupts them, “Were you okay?”
“You guys lead very eventful lives...” Allegra adds.
“Ladybug caught me. Also her cure would have fixed anything anyways.”
“Still.” Allan shakes his head. Marinette’s point goes unspoken. What if it didn’t fix everything? What will happen when she inevitably messes everything up and can’t reverse the damage? People shouldn’t trust Ladybug so much.
“I don’t think that our lives are that eventful…” Marinette tries to draw their attention away from Ladybug. It’s hypocritical, but as much she wishes they wouldn’t trust her hero alter-ego so much, she fears the day when everyone realizes how useless she really is.
Well, maybe useless is a strong word.
“The lives of spectacular people are always eventful! That’s what happens when you’re talented Mari!” Claude throws his arms in the air excitedly and she blushes.
“Well, if the heroes of Paris recognize ya’ by name your life has gotta’ be at least kinda’ interesting…” Allan chimes in.
Marinette shrugs noncommittally. She wouldn’t mind telling them those stories, but they involve her old classmates and to think about them too long would make her feel bad - which would be against the rules - one of the newer ones.
 Rule #12: Don’t do anything that could attract an akuma to you.
 She’d already messed that up earlier, but she hadn’t seen it coming. Alya showing up with Lila had been a surprise.
You should have realized that she would have shown up at an akuma attack you idiot.
To be fair though, Alya was only part of the problem, it was Lila’s presence that had really pushed her over the edge.
No. No excuses. The whole point of her rules is to have her accept these things as facts. If they’re facts, then she shouldn’t feel bad, thereby making her safe from akumas. She can’t just follow them whenever she pleases - that’s not how rules work. She’s been breaking the rules a lot recently, especially when she got sick. Maybe it would be for the best if she re-read them tonight. For the sake of reminding herself.
She’d memorized them, so she hadn’t read them in almost a week.
“What should we do while the cookies are in the oven? Board games?” Claude suggests.
“Sure!” Allegra clears the table to make room for whatever Claude drags out of his room. He brings a few different things out. It’s impressive just how many things he manages to carry at once.
“Okay! I got Jenga, Suspend, Sorry, Sleeping Queens, Dixit, Coup…”
“That’s a lot of games at once, Claude.” Allegra looks at him doubtfully, “Do you two even know how to play some of these?” She looks at Marinette and Adrien.
Marinette nods, but Adrien shakes his head.
“The only board game I’ve played is Monopoly. I hadn’t even played that until a few months ago…”
“Welp. Claude’s gonna’ introduce ya’ to all of his.”
“You bet I am!” He punctuates this statement by dropping everything at the end of the table.
Eventually the group settles into their games, and when the timer goes off, Marinette takes the cookies out to let them cool, turning the oven off before joining back into the game. They play a couple different games for a few hours, eating the cookies while they play. Marinette slips a couple in her purse for Tikki.
“These taste like friendship!” Claude declares.
“They’re pretty good.” Allegra says, then notices Adrien hasn’t had one yet, “Do you want one Adrien?”
“Well, uh,” he rubs the back of his neck, “Do you think I’m allowed to? Father…”
Before the rest of them can respond, Marinette hits her palms to the table, looking at Adrien intensely, whispering conspiratorially, “Rebel.”
The group laughs when Adrien eats a cookie quickly, seemingly having been entirely convinced by this.
Eventually it’s starting to grow dark outside, and it’s time for them to leave. Claude shows them out.
“Farewell, friends!” The other five smile, waving goodbye as they leave. Once they’re outside Marinette wraps her coat around herself tighter, hissing at the cold.
“You gonna’ be good ‘Nettie?” Allan cocks his head at her.
“M’ house isn’t that far.” The girl sticks close to the rest of them, which doesn’t seem like it would do much good. Her miraculous condition makes her extra sensitive to heat in the winter though, so for her it’s a little better - she can sense their body heat. It’s entirely unconscious, but she always can tell where a heat source is. It’s not super useful when she’s too tired to move, but at least it means she typically falls asleep on the warmest person.
“We’ll walk with you - just to be safe.” Allegra wraps an arm around the shorter girl’s shoulders, who leans into her.
They carry on their conversation as they walk, dropping off Marinette first. She goes straight to her bed, as does Tikki. Before Marinette can sleep, she forces herself to sit up, remembering her promise to reread the lists.
After she reads them she thinks that maybe it had been too long since she read them last, seeing as now she felt bad and that is the whole thing she’s trying to avoid. 
She goes to sleep afterwards, because she’s still tired. She can think about the lists again in the morning.
---
Author’s Note: That definitely wasn't an excuse for her new friends to put her in charge of something while still allowing her to stay in her element. No,of course not. They're just helpless in the kitchen.
The recipe is here, if you're interested. I baked it with a friend a bit ago, and it was fun. They turned out pretty well, but I feel like a bakers' daughter such as Marinette would have adjustments to make.
Did I give Claude some of my own favorite games? Yes, yes I did.
Thanks for reading, and constructive criticism is welcomed in the comments below! The comments are my favorite part of this!

"What are you doing?" Your eyes bulged out as your friend ran darted out of the bathroom.
"Principle saw us." She was already out the door.
You quickly threw the joint in the toilet and flushed it as you sprayed perfume around the room, you quickly grabbed your things and tried to escape the room.
As soon as you opened the door, the principle stood there with his arms crossed. "Busted."
....
"It wasn't mine." You lied.
"Is that so? Then whose is it.?" He asked being harsh.
You couldn't rat out your friend nor could you rat at the friend who even gave it to you.
"I found it, in the trash?" You answered with no confidence.
"Since you have a clean record, I'll let you off with only 3 months worth of Saturday detentions but if I catch you again, I have no choice in expulsion." He said a little softer.
"3 months?" You asked.
"That's 12 detentions. It's fair enough." He said. "I could be giving you worse, you're lucky you're normally a good student."
You nodded understanding and got up to be dismissed.
"I'll see you this Saturday Miss (Y/L/N)."
"This Saturday, but that's tomorrow." You tried to hide your complaining.
"Is there a problem Miss (Y/L/N)?" He gave you that harsh stare.
"Nope, no problem." You smiled painfully and left.
"Great now I have to cancel my date." You whined to yourself.
You recently got asked out by one of the cutest guys at your school and here you were, ruining it.
"Hey (Y/N) what happened?" Your friend asked you as soon as you got to join them back in class.
"I got 3 months of Saturday detentions." You glared.
"Really? Oh my god I'm so sorry." She said. "You want me to say I was there too?"
"No....if it's anyone's fault, I blame DaRin. She's the one who pressured us to smoke it and ran as fast as she could." You snarled.
"I agree." She pouted. "She never cares if we get in trouble."
"I don't care about the detentions, I'm upset because I have to cancel my date."
"Excuse me ladies, is my class interrupting your conversations?"
"No sir, sorry." Your friend spoke up and you both zipped it until class led out.
....
"There he is, you're going to reschedule?" Your friend asked.
"I'll see what he says." You took a deep breath and walked over.
"Hey Taeil." You greeted sadly.
"Hey, what's up." His charming smile had you blushing already. "Why you look so down?"
"I did something really stupid which cost me weeks of detention." He looked at you confused and deniable since you were pure in his eyes. "Starting tomorrow, I have detention so I have to cancel our date. Are you free Sunday maybe?"
"I can't, I have rehearsals." He said doled.
"That's right." You nodded agreeing.
"Don't worry, we can try again. I have to see when I can okay, I'll let you know." He held your hand softly but had to leave.
"What did he say?" You friend appeared behind you suddenly.
"He's too busy."
"I'm sorry (Y/N)." She said.
"I don't know who I hate more now. DaRin or Vice Principle Choi." You growled and marched away. Why couldn't you get normal detention like other kids instead of ruining your weekends? The last thing you wanted was have to sit in school on a freaking Saturday.
—-Saturday [DT 1]: 9:55A.M—-
You walked into the school and went to the known classroom assigned for this god dreadful day and saw the principle writing the words 'detention' on the board. It looked like you were the first one there but it was still kind of early anyway.
"Miss (Y/L/N) welcome." He greeted. "I'm glad to see you are very well cooperative."
"Yes Vice Principle Choi I'm a very good student and I understand that I made a horrible mistake and will never do it again."
"That's What I like to hear." He smiled.
"So is there any chance I can be let off with good behavior?" You were hopeful.
"Not a chance. Sit."
You pouted and slid into a desk.
"Mr. Kim. I'm glad you weren't almost late again." He smiled sarcastically.
The boy just nodded and made his way to the back row, only two rows behind you. You glanced and saw it was Kim Jiwon. You knew him very well. One of the schools biggest trouble makers. You were surprised none of his posey were with him.
"Wait it's just us?" You asked.
"Our school system is not very inattentive Miss (Y/L/N). We have well behaved students who deserve to have detention on normal school days."
"But why?" You shivered. He was considering you the worst of the worst and that was not who you were at all. Especially not up to Bobby's standards.
"Ones who sneak drugs into my school just to smoke it in the bathroom for one." He said while stepping into the office. You looked over and saw Bobby's well amused face as he saw you in a new light.
The vice principle turned around giving you a harsh glare. "Work." Then he shut the door behind him.
"Wow (Y/N), never thought you were on the vice principals naughty list."
"Don't talk to me, I don't deserve to be here."
All of a sudden he moved up to your row but still a few aisles away. "Looks like miss goody-two-shoes isn't so pure after all."
"Will you shut up. I smoked one joint and I get all the blame for it." You pulled out homework that was assigned over the weekend.
"What kind?"
"What? I don't know. DaRin offered it to me." You said. "Stop talking before you get me more in trouble."
"Ahh DaRin. You're friends with her?"
"No." You snapped. "I mean not really. She's been really nice to me for the past few months but after this, no way."
"She's a user, that's how she's always been." He said slouching in his seat. "You know he just sleeps in there the whole time. That's why he shuts the door."
"You've been here a while haven't you." You tried to focus on your work.
"I've been on his radar since freshman year. He only started this dumb Saturday detentions last month."
"Why? Why deal with being bad all the time, just so you can have your Saturdays ruined?" You finally looked at him.
"This is only my third Saturday detention and yeah it sucks but I have nothing better to do." He shrugged.
You shook your head in panic. "I can't think like that. I rather be home. Actually I rather be on my date that I had to sadly cancel today."
"Who's the lucky guy?" He leaned forward in mocking amusement.
"Moon Taeil."
"Oh the theater guy."
"Why say it like that? Why do you even care, you don't even know me?" You spoke. "Can you sit back there again?"
"I didn't say anything bad about him. He's a nice guy." He started. "He just doesn't seem your type is all."
"What is that suppose to me? What exactly is my type Bobby?" You had anger in your voice.
"First of all, you have a short fuse and second, he's a vocal student, he probably doesn't want a girl who is smoking a joint in the girls bathroom."
You glared at him and grabbed your things and moved up to the first row of the classroom getting the farthest away possible.
"You don't have to be mad, it's the truth. He probably rather not kiss someone with the mouth of an ashtray."
"If you don't shut up, I swear I will tell the vice principal." You threatened with your face heating up.
He smirked seeing how angry you were.
"Just 11 more....just 11 more." You breathed in and out.
.....
"I hope you got all your work done." The vice principal straighten out his jacket which was obvious he was in fact sleeping. "Now get out of here."
You grabbed your things and sped out as quick as possible. You saw your moms car waiting in the parking lot but before you could approach it, your annoying detention buddy stopped you.
"Hey (Y/N) want a ride?" He asked with a sweet smile that you knew had nothing nice behind it.
"No thanks I have a ride." You quickly ran off.
-
—Saturday [DT 2]: 9:52A.M—
You sat at the first row, hoping Bobby wouldn't sit close.
"Principle Choi, what if I don't have lunch with me today?" You asked raising your hand.
He looked at you unamused. "That's not my problem dear. The staff isn't here today to cook for the misbehaving students." He spoke as soon as Bobby finally entered sitting in the usual back row. "Do you have money?"
"I have 75 cents." You felt up your pockets.
"This is the only time I'll help you Miss (Y/L/N). Please remember to bring your lunch." He handed you $5. "There are vending machines in the lobby. And don't think about escaping, Mrs. Shin at the front desk will gladly let me know." He walked to his office. "Now get to work."
You quickly pulled out your things to get to your homework. On the plus side, you were forced to finish all your work on this long 8 hour torture of a day instead of procrastinating until Sunday night like you normally do. It was one stressful thing off your shoulders.
"Hey high top." Bobby was suddenly close again.
"Please don't call me that." You tried to get your voice calm.
"What? It's how you got in here right?"
"Don't talk to me."
"Have you worked everything out with your boyfriend?"
"He's not technically my boyfriend. He asked me to hang out once and because of this stupid detention, I haven't gotten the chance yet. He's too busy." You answered.
"The winter festival is coming up right? He's just probably working on the production."
He said something surprisingly not insulting. "Yeah."
"What do you see in him?" He suddenly asked. "I mean no offense. He doesn't seem like he cares to date right now. It's senior year and he's planning on his future already."
"Then why did he ask me out?" You glared.
"How did he ask you?"
"He said do you want to hang out Saturday night?" You shrugged.
"Like alone? Or..."
"I don't know. Again why do you care?" You snapped.
"Just wondering. Because we can hang out if you want. I'm not busy." He smiled.
"Why would I want to hang out with you, I see you enough as it is." You pushed your hair off your shoulder.
He shrugged. "You seem cool."
"Me?" You laughed. "Because I smoked one joint and now I'm cool enough to hang out with you and your gang."
"I didn't say that." He leaned forward causing his desk to follow. "You're pretty interesting."
"I've only met you last week."
"We've only talked for the first time last week. We've been going to the same school for years and we've had plenty of classes together."
"We have classes together?" You asked not even realizing.
"We have biology together, Literature, and senior history." He arched an eyebrow from your indulgence.
"Oh wow. I didn't notice you. Maybe because you sit in the back, not caring about your education." You snarked.
"Mock me all you want. I have an average B rate. I'm not as dumb as you think."
"I didn't say you were dumb. You just rather get into trouble."
"I rather call it 'wrong place at the wrong time'. You know a lot about that right?" He said causing you to look. "See now we understand each other."
"So why did you get in here then?" You asked turning your whole body just to talk to him.
"You know how Mr. Yoo's car was destroyed?" You nodded. "Well I was caught with the crowbar, even though I found it in the bushes at the moment the principal found it."
"You had nothing to do with it?"
"Nope. I don't even know who, to be honest, but the principal refuses to believe me because I usually get in trouble for things anyway." He continued. "That's why I'm stuck in here until the end of the school year."
"The end of the school year?" You felt sudden sympathy.
"It's the principals compromise for letting me walk at graduation."
"Wow, I'm actually sorry Bobby." You said.
"It's okay. It was pretty lonely in here but I'm glad I have someone to talk to now." He caused you to blush and you quickly turned to hide your face.
"I'm only here until the end of April." You began to work again.
"That's better then nothing."
-
—Saturday [D3]: 9:51A.M—
"Hey trouble maker." You turned around from the familiar voice you weren't expecting to hear.
"Taeil? What are you doing here?" You asked since it was Saturday and stupidly early in the morning for your liking.
"The Festival is next weekend and the set painting isn't done yet so I volunteered to help out." He smiled.
"That's nice of you." You said smiling back.
"Look I'm sorry our one free chance didn't work out but once this is all over, I would really like to hang out with you. And yes on a Sunday perhaps." He laughed.
"Okay, sounds good." You tucked your hair behind your ear.
"Miss (Y/L/N) let's go." The vice principle interrupted your nice conversation.
"Sorry." You pouted.
"See ya later." He smiled with a simple pat on your shoulder.
You walked into the class room seeing Bobby in the first row this time and he had work with him. You were about to sit next to him but the principal stopped you at the third row since he knew you sat front and you took a seat on the outside.
"No talking." And once again he was gone behind that door to take his snooze.
You snuck up to the front row next to Bobby and saw he was working on homework. "This is the first time I see you do your homework."
"I usually do it Friday nights but since I'm here, mine as well not be bored."
"You do it Friday night? I thought you would be at some party or something."
"Nah. I vow to only go to one once a month." He smiled.
"Wow, how good of you."
"Well."
"Whatever." You both laughed. You couldn't believe you were actually laughing together. It was weird.
....
"Wow he's out cold." You looked through the door window where the principal was.
"You know I know how to break into the vending machine by the boys locker room." He said.
"Really?" You asked.
"Yeah."
"But What If-" you started.
"He won't know."
"How are you so sure?" You asked.
"I told you I was lonely in here right? Well I've snuck out several times, just to play basketball in the gym."
"I'm scared."
"Then I'll go." He got up.
"No, I'm the idiot who forgot my lunch again. I can't wake up in the morning early enough." You whined.
"But you can't go alone and you won't let me go alone." He leaned forward.
You looked at the principle once again. "Okay, Let's hurry." You pushed him out the door and snuck past the front office.
You managed to ran down the stairs successfully and Bobby led you right to the default vending machines.
"So how do you do it?" You asked.
"I watched the janitor fix it one day and saw the code he put in to test it out." He smirked. "All you do it type *A17." You watched closely and heard the machine beep. "Now just type what you want." He made a selection and watched as the candy fell.
"What?" You looked at him in complete shock. "You con."
"No, I'm just smart." He laughed storing the sweets in his pocket.
"You might just be my life savor." You smiled and looked at the glass selection. "What's it again *A-"
He was right behind you making sure you were typing in the right code. Then you typed in your favorite selections.
You turned around and felt butterflies from how close he was. "Sorry." You said as you almost bumped into him. "We should get back." You bit your lip and he moved away. You walked back to the classroom at a chill pace. No rushing.
"I'm sorry I was such a bitch in the beginning. I figured you were the typical bad boy type but I was clearly wrong."
"It's okay. I figured you were the innocent pure soul but I see that's not true either." You laughed while pushing him.
"I may not be but I'm still not bad either."
"You don't smoke, I get it." He teased.
"At least not in school." He arched his eyebrows at your statement. "I won't outside of school either but I mean, I would never in....oh my-" You we're flustered.
"I know what you mean." He laughed at how cute you were.
Once you stepped into the classroom. The coast was clear as the vice principle was still in his office.
-
You really enjoyed your detentions, weirdly enough. By detention 4, you spent most of the day playing basketball in the gym. You weren't scared anymore to wander around.
"And last week we drew on the white boards in most of the classrooms." You told you friend.
"You getting involved with the bad clicks of the school is not really what I want to hear." She looked at you disappointed.
"I'm not. It's just Bobby is different that's all. I don't know any of his friends or do you see me hanging out with him during school hours." That part was half true. The classes you had together, he chose to sit next to you since the seats weren't assigned, but you still barely saw him in the halls.
"And I remember you couldn't stand him only a few weeks ago."
"But he understands me." You said.
"I understand you, but he's not our crowd and you know it-"
"Get to class ladies. I'll see you in detention tomorrow Miss (Y/L/N)." The Vice Principle walked off.
"He really hates me." You said causing your friend to nod and walk away. She can be pissed all she wants, you like Bobby and it doesn't matter what kind of click he was apart of.
-
—Saturday [DT 6]: 9:57A.M—
"Listen kids. Around noon I have to go pick up my granddaughter up from her fathers house. But I'll be back no later then an hour. I have Mrs. Wen to check up on you so no funny business." He pointed.
"Yes sir." You smiled.
He left his door open this time, which meant no snooze for him today, or he wouldn't get up in time to leave.
You couldn't believe you were half way through your punishment. It felt like an eternity but it also somehow flew by.
....
Once he got up to leave, you were doing homework and Bobby's head was down on the desk, looking like he was asleep himself.
"Please behave." The Vice Principle looked at you. You? Really?
Once the door shut, Bobby lifted his head and got up. "You're up."
"I was faking." He smiled and headed into the vice principle's office.
"What are you doing?" You asked.
"He keeps items he confiscated and doesn't give them back. So I'm just taking what's mine." He opened several drawers trying to find it.
"Wow." You laughed.
"What? He took my phone and I was forced to get a new one. He took my song- he took my notebook. He's suppose to give them back within twenty four hours but I haven't seen my phone in 4 months."
You helped open some drawers and the first drawer you opened was filled with the one he was looking for.
"Hey Bobby."
"Sweet, thanks (Y/N)." He looked through the items.
You looked down farther and noticed the different things in the drawers. "Is it just me or does this drawer have a lot of condoms."
"Um...." He started. "Yeah, you'd be surprised how many kids at this school carries one around."
"Vice principal Choi is pro abstinence." He laughed.
"Are any of these yours?" You asked.
"No, I know how to keep it in my pants until school lets out." He said with amusement.
"Students actually do it in the school?" He looked at you and saw how red your face was.
"Don't use the downstairs bathroom."
He found his stuff and put it on the desk. "You want anything in here? Like I said, he never gives anything back."
You looked through the drawer and stole a nice pair of headphones but nothing else really grabbed your attention. You could feel Bobby's presence near by giving you chills. You honestly wanted to take some of the unused condoms but you were embarrassed of what he would think. Only because you were even more embarrassed to buy them in a store with a store clerk giving you judgmental expressions.
You reached your hand down grabbing one and quickly held it behind your back and once the coast was clear you placed it tightly in your bra from your lack of pockets. You leaned on the teachers desk next to Bobby, trying not to be suspicious.
He looked at you with a devious smirk and you looked up with redness in your cheeks. "Know whats funny, you grabbed the same brand I did." He showed you the few condoms in his hand.
"What I didn't-"
"Don't be embarrassed (Y/N). Congrats on you and theater boy."
"Technically I'm not with him." You said.
"Still?"
"He's too busy."
"Why you waiting around then?" He asked giving you confusion leaning next to you.
You actually never thought about it. Maybe from the slight thought that someone liked you enough to ask you out, but you never paid attention to dating before or cared.
"He just asked me out. I'm not really looking anyway." You said neutral.
"What if someone else asked you out?"
"I don't know, no one else has before." You shrugged.
"Well would you say yes if I asked you out right now?" He said leaning forward.
"I have to check my schedule." You bit your lip hiding that fact you were nervous.
"Really?" He smirked and leaned forward trapping you. Your breathing got heavier from how close he was.
Just as he was about to close the tight space you spoke once again. "What if Mrs. Wen walks in?"
"Mrs. Wen can't even read and write at the same time. There's no way she's leaving that desk." As soon as he pressed his lips to yours, the room got smaller and the air got thicker.
You kissed back with desperation, like it was meant to happen a long time ago. You lacing your fingers through the back of his hair, slightly tugging.
You felt him deepen the kiss when you felt his tongue moisture your bottom lip trying to have access inside. It didn't take you long to open your mouth, letting his tongue explore. You opened your legs letting him lean closer as you wrapped your legs around his waist.
He quickly pulled away and moved on to your neck as his breath shortened. You bit your lip and tilted your head back as you tried to stay quiet as the pleasure was taking hold.
Jiwon lightly sucked all up and down your neck, leaving marks behind. He leaned back up kissing you once again roughly before breaking the bond.
The adrenaline was revealing a side of you you never seen before as you tugged on his shirt.
"That's probably a bad idea." He laughed at your attempt.
"You said it yourself. We are alone in here for a few hours." You said out of breath.
You pulled him back in for a sloppy kiss and began to rock your hips along with his as you played with the end of his shirt. You could feel the thin layer between your legs already soaked. You moaned when he slide his hand up your shirt as you began to tug on his belt.
Once you finished unbuckling his belt you began to pull down the thin leggings that complemented your dress. He lifted your knee to bring it back around his waist. You could feel his excitement causing you to shiver down your spine. Was this really happening?
He grabbed the condom from your bra and ripped the wrap open. You watched him get himself ready for you. He brought his lips back towards you as he lined himself up with you, pushing your panties out of the way.
You bit your lip moaning from the tightness. He started thrusting once you adjusted to him causing the pleasure to eventually stir up. You held onto his shoulders as you started to move up against him to cause more momentum. Your rocking got quicker causing the desk to shake off, knocking off pictures, books, etc.
"Fuck, we broke his-"
"It's fine, don't stop." He said out of breath.
You grabbed his collar bringing him closer so you can embrace him with a kiss. You kissed him immensely, feeling the butterflies in your stomach. A few more thrust and you could feel the ecstasy flooding through your head to your toes. You were going to release any second.
You can tell he was close from his sloppy movements. He stood up from kissing you and held your hips tighter as he was close to the end. He slowed down his pace as you felt him release causing you fall over the edge immediately, feeling your toes go numb.
You were a moaning mess as your orgasms was passing through. You tried to steady your breathing as you leaned back on the desk. When you looked up at Bobby he was tired as well. You watched him as he pulled out of you and tossing the condom in the trash.
"You can't throw that away in here. What if he sees?" You spoke.
"I'm not putting that in my pocket?" He looked at you disgusted. You took a tissue and grabbed the latex and crumbled it in a ball.
"Uh-oh." You said as you walked around the desk.
"What?"
You picked up the picture frames off the floor and placed them back on the desk where they belonged. Most of them were okay but there was one that was cracked.
"We're in trouble." You panicked.
"I'm sure he won't notice it." Bobby was cleaning up like nothing was wrong.
"We were never here." He said and walked out the classroom.
You tossed the tissue in the trash outside the office and crumbled pieces of papers to throw on top to hide the evidence.
....
"You kids are free to go early." Mrs Wen came in and left quickly. You and Bobby both smiled and got up and left the classroom.
"So how about that-"
"Hey (Y/N), can I talk to you?" Taeil's big smile was shining through interrupting your conversation.
Your looked at him and back at Bobby.
"So do you want to go to the movies tonight. They are playing Anything Goes." He suggested.
"Um." You hesitated.
Anything goes? That's a musical right?
"We have plans already." Bobby saved you from the awkward silence.
"Oh, maybe some other time."
"Yeah." You smiled nervously.
"So what are we doing?" You looked at Bobby.
"I don't know. Let's go eat." He grabbed your hand dragging you out.

Eurovision 2010s: 45 - 41
45.  Rasmussen - “Higher ground” Denmark 2018
youtube
[2018 Review here]
FRIZ DEE YERRO, WINDY YERRRRR
Tumblr media
But I’m getting ahead of myself. Remember when Christer rejected “Higher ground” from Melfest and it was the fucking WORST Melfest ever? Remember how Denmark recycled it and let it win DMGP? Well...
Tumblr media
OOOOOOOOOOOOOWNED SO HARD!! and not just Sweden to be honest, because “Higher ground” slaps, even a full year after the fact. It’s a paragon of righteous scandi energy, conceived in a mancave over a keg of mead, inspired by a tale of medival pacifism (which actually makes it non-toxicly masculine), imprinted on by Game of Thrones (a wonderful tv series that ended when the White Walkers melted down the ice wall and murdered everybody in Westeros ^__^)
Tumblr media
In a nutshell, an absolutely kick ass entry.
Tumblr media
Truth be told, it is IMPOSSIBLE to not get up from my chair, pound my chest and march along with the Old Norse (😍) post-chorus chanting. Rasmussen DELIVERS a performance so intense it rips the space/time continuum and creates a portal to the good old Viking days. 100% deserving of being 2018′s KEiiNO and the highest Danish entry on this ranking!
________________________________________________________________
44. Pasha Parfeny - “Lăutar” Moldova 2012
youtube
THIS DRAMPET MAKES U MIME GIRL
Pasha Parfeny looks like this now:
Tumblr media
😬 
Years of being awesome clearly took their toll on poor Pasha, but I will cherish him for the fountain of fun he has always been.  “Lăutar”  is such an uninhibited display for Moldovan FOLK, bringing out the dulcimers, horns and “drampets” to bring a much-needed ethic palate cleanser after the musical genocide committed on the Baku Stage. It also features some of the best dance choreography found in this decade, in which Pasha and dancers hop around the stage like overexcited gerbils <3
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
(btw: the pink dancer SLAYS me every single time.)
Tumblr media
Such a frivolous, playful, adorable act that radiates mirth from every pore. 😍 But wait, we aren’t done, because “ Lăutar” also features some of the more memorable, hilarious, iconic butcherings of the English language found in this decade (”You haven’t seen before the looks like drampet. 😍 Butter sound go straight to ur soul”😍). It certainly helps that Pasha is like a male Ruslana, struggling to express himself and resulting some hilarious awkward interview gold (Eurovision.tv: “Pasha, what is your secret for happiness” Pasha: “Make good sex ^__^”  Eurovision.tv: “. . .” 😍)
Tumblr media
Naturally, a Pasha write-up cannot be finished without noting how central he is to ‘Moldova in Eurovision’, almost as much as Moldova’s staging is. This little man’s (literally. He’s like 1.65m lol) musical legacy includes:
- writing and performing Lăutar in 2012 - being a former vocalist for Sunstroke Project - being the mentor of Aliona Moon and writing her 2013 song - being the original songwriter for DoReDoS before Kirkorov took over   In other words, he is ~CONNECTED~ to every epic, high-tier Moldovan entry. WHAT AN ICON. Stay Safe Pavel!!

43. Dino Merlin - “Love in rewind” Bosnia - Herzegovina 2011
youtube
Finishing 6th place from the death slot when will ur faves...x Man I do love my narrative entries, and it doesn’t get much better than an old man reflecting back on his life’s had, satisfied with its outcome. It’s such a c00t premise and Dino Merlin plays the part of the adorable grandfather with conviction. 😍 Even manages to transform Maja Sar into a fun hume for once:
Tumblr media
“Love in rewind” really is all about the group effort. Dino himself is of course fantastic and makes this performance, but his troupe of ragtag troubadours carry a lot of weight as well, providing a wackadoodle wonderland for Dino to project his nostalgia onto.  
Tumblr media
And then there’s the question of “Love in rewind” itself. It is easy to lump it in with all the other frivolous folk, but in reality it’s an experimental avant garde song disguised as folk 😈 (exactly like “Putnici”, in fact!). The song is made into an artform by a few unorthodox, sudden key changes. Key changes hated by the millennial wannabe pitchfork crew, but here at BorisBubbles we don’t support weakness so let’s wave them all goodbye in celebration of what is easily Bosnia’s best Eurovision entry:
Tumblr media
 _______________________________________________________________
42. JOWST ft. Aleksander Wallman - “Grab the moment”  Norway 2017
youtube
[2017 Review here]
As a shameless EDM Hound, I have to admit that I am totally smitten by this piece of electronic undergroundness. A wonderful epileptic seizure of pitch black and lavender, executed to perfection by Aleksander Wallman. “Grab the moment” offers show-stopping visual effects, great vocal execution and an additctive beat. THE TRIPLE THREAT OF LIVE MUSIC!
Tumblr media
Fortunately, there’s also a great underlying message. I haven’t really talked about the Mental Health Anthem all that much in this ranking, but that’s mostly because I haven’t ranked most of them yet. Any song that inspires people to believe in themselves, that it is okay to be imperfect and that tackles social issues such as procrastination and neurosis HEAD ON and WITH RESPECT, deserves praise.
Tumblr media
Which is exactly what JOWST & Aleksander do, specifically by addressing young heterosexual men. 😍 (ie: the demograph that is the least likely to reach out for a support when they need it). They do this very cleverly, by using teenspeak to discuss the ever-relatable theme crippling anxiety and how to lay it aside and get shit done. 🤜🤛 so let us all 
KILL k177 K!££
Tumblr media

41.  Ruth Lorenzo - “Dancing in the Rain Spain 2014
youtube
THE RAIIIIIN THE RAIIIIN THE RAIIIIIN
Ruth. Yo quiero ser Ruth. Because Ruth is emblematic of Spain’s biggest (only) strength in Eurovision: the LOUD OVERDRAMATIC SCREECHING POWERBALLAD 😍 There are so many precedents to Ruth, from “Él” to “Vuelve Conmigo” to “Bailar pegados” to “Quedate conmigo” but “Dancing in the rain” may be my favourite of the lot. In part because Ruth is a GODDESS and I was *invested* in her success the second she won the NF:
Tumblr media
Which she then followed up by forming a backstage bitch coven with Conchita and Suzy. 😍 Excuse me for a moment, I have to lay myself down and blow myself with a fan because that alliance contains so much awesomeness it gives me palpitations. 
Tumblr media
But I mostly love “Dancing in the rain” because of the performance. It’s a great composition in its own right, providing intense screaminess, well-executed language changes and of course, literal stage rain. 😍 However, Ruth is SO intense in her delivery it becomes a moment of contemplation, of exaltation, and of stupefication as Ruth’s SONIC ENERGY washes over us like a tsunami of sound. DEJA CAER, DEJA LA LLUVIA CAER, THE RAIN THE RAIN THE RAIN
________________________________________________________________
Tumblr media
and since this is the last update for Spain, Bosnia, Moldova and Denmark, I’ll include my overall thoughts below. 
DENMARK
Tumblr media
The only people who like Denmark in this decade are those with negative taste and no self-respect and those desperately wanting to be Swedes but never will be Swedes (ie: Danes)
MOLDOVA
Tumblr media
Not a ‘perfect’ track record, but still an excellent showing for a country with so few resources. Moldova is one of my favourite countries in ESC and this chart should show you why. 
BOSNIA - HERZEGOVINA
Tumblr media
Bosnia - Herzegovina participated four times in this decade and were epic exactly once. Thank you for that... now I normally would add that I miss them but, nah. Bye. 
SPAIN
Tumblr media
I am honestly shocked Spain didn’t do worse on my ranking?? I don’t think they’re like.. a ‘TERRIBLE’ esc country the way Ireland and Montenegro are, but jesus fuck out of the cavalcade of incompetent countries that have no idea what the fuck they’re doing, Spain is the giantslewofincompetentcountriesthathavenoideawhatthefuckthey’redoingest. Which is puzzling given that all of their high results come from kickass female-fronted powerballads, ie: the easiest trope to nail. (case in point: Macedonia scored a top 10 with one. Macedonia.) JUST STICK TO THOSE and ditch the wannabe reggaetons.

“Not even one snow angel?”
Tumblr media
Genre: fluff
Warnings: language bc im too dumb to find better words
Pairing: Jaehyun x gender neutral reader
Author’s Note: yall it’s so cold that they had to cancel school for three days bc it’s supposed to be in the negatives for three days straight, so yall already know what that means: time to write fluff focused around Jung Jaehyun when I should be preparing for my biotechnology debate,,, yeehaw !! also: im shook that yall liked the mark mafia au so much,,, I will have another mafia au out soon, love yall !!
our story is set in fair Verona, where it is cold as tits out
jk its not actually set in Verona but ya know. Romeo and Juliet, am I rite, laid ease and gents?? (even tho that story is high key messed up and I don’t really understand why people aspire to have relationships like that) 
no but for real, classes for the next couple of days were cancelled because of a negative ten degree Fahrenheit wind chill, and that meant you had nothing to do (other than procrastinate your class work)
yeehaw, am I rite, laid ease and gents???
n e ways, 
rather than staying in your dorm all day w your dorm mate whom you did not always get along very well with, 
you decided to carpe the fuck outta that diem and play in the snow with some of you friends
lacing up the boots you shoved over four pairs of socks, you called Johnny, a kid you’d known since your freshman algebra class
“Seo, let’s go outside for once.” 
“Excuse me, what? Is it the sleep deprivation talking or did I hear you just say the words lets go and outside in one sentence?” a sleepy Johnny said from the other line
“Haha, very funny, dumbass. Let’s go play in the snow,” you told him, throwing on a winter coat 
“Y/N, it is eleven AM,” Johnny told you, causing you to roll your eyes as you shut the door
“Really? I had no clue, Johnny, thank you for telling me.” 
“Y/N, it is eleven AM on a day when classes are cancelled,” Johnny rephrased
“Yes, I am well away. Suit up, Seo. I am on my way over, be there in five.” 
on your way, you looked at all the snow and tried not to slip on ice
you made a few stops at some of your other friends’ dorms, and by the time you got to Johnny’s, there was a small army of people ready to play in the snow (and wake up Johnny)
“Mark, can I please wear your hat?” Haechan whined, flashing Mark puppy dog eyes and tugging on his sleeve
“Y/N, make him give me his hat,” the boy begged you, turning those eyes on you
“Mark, do what the baby says,” you told him, knocking on Johnny’s door
johnny seo opened the door, and before you could say anything, you were hit with a snowball in the face
“JONATHON SEO, WHAT THE FUCK???” 
he started cackling and said, “Before you guys got here, I went outside and made a snowball, then put it in a bowl in my mini fridge.” 
“WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU??”
“Nothing, Y/N, I thought you wanted to play in the snow?” 
“Johnny, we are not IN the snow right now. We are standing in the middle of your dorm building, while snow drips down my face. I am going to destroy you when we are actually in the snow.” 
“I’d like to see you try, dumbass. Oh, also: do you care if I invite someone to hang out with us today?” he asked, and for some reason, everyone pivoted their attention to the six foot tall man, which you did not notice
“Go ahead, the more the merrier. Right, guys?” you asked, and everyone nodded a little too enthusiastically
You narrowed your eyes in suspicion but didn't ask any questions
“Who all were you planning on inviting?” you asked, trying to get more info out of him
Mark, Haechan, Jisung, Chenle, Jaemin, Jeno, and Lucas all avoided eye contact
“I don’t know, probably just a few of the other guys... Ten, Taeyong, Winwin, Kun, and Jae.” 
so THAT’S why they were acting weird 
those two faced whores
“Jae?” you asked, trying to do some more subtle investigating
“Yes, Jae.” 
“Jae as in... Jaehyun?” 
“Yes, Jae as in Jaehyun.” 
“Like... Jung Jaehyun?” 
“Yes, Jung Jaehyun.” 
“Like..... your roommate Jung Jaehyun?” 
“Yes, my roommate Jung Jaehyun.” 
“The one that I think is hot and told you all that I have a crush on him?” 
“That’d be the one.” 
oh no
oh fuck no
“Unless, of course, you want me to tell him that something has come up and he is no longer invited.” 
“No, no, that’s not necessary, he can still.... he can still join us, if he wants.” 
“Okay, good, because I told him to come with us, and he should be ready any minute now.” 
cue Jaehyun nudging johnny out of the way so he can get out of the door
and all you could think was 
ohhhhhhh mannnnnnnn, he’s hot
he had on jeans, a fluffy winter coat, gloves, and boots, but he had you quaking in your four pairs of socks, okay 
you could feel your cheeks heat up when he gave you a smile
those dimples had you wEAK, BITCH
“Hi, Jaehyun!” you managed to get out, to which he responded
“Hey, Y/N! That hat looks really cute on you! You always look cute, but, ya know what I mean.” 
to say you were malfunctioning would be an understatement
the boys saw you go into a full system reboot
“Let’s get going before all the snow melts!” Chenle said, grabbing your arm and pulling you out of your technical difficulty
“I doubt the snow will be melting any time soon,” Jisung mumbled, getting a slap in the arm from one of the other boys
the only sounds that registered to you were the sounds of the bickering boys, sleds dragging on the floor, and your own heart beat
okay, dawg, just play it cool. 
now that’s easier said than done, isn’t it? dumb bitch. 
the whole time yall walked outside, you were super aware of the proximity of Jaehyun
after about two minutes, Jaehyun was standing right! next! to! you!
wowie, babey! yee fuckin haw!
when yall finally made it to the “lawn” (whatever the fuck u wanna call it, I am not good with words, yeet) of campus- a huge hill with trees all around, right in the center of campus-
yall threw down the sleds a few of you brought, and got right to it
johnny got on a different sled and challenged you to a race, to which you naturally agreed to
while johnny was getting situated before the race, you made a snowball out of his sight, and right as it started, you nailed him in the face
“yOU MOTHER FUCKER!” johnny yelled as he fell off his sled and you took the lead
the boys all laughed (including Jaehyun! let’s gooooo!) and watched you do a half assed victory dance when you reached the bottom of the hill
winning was great and all, but you had to climb back up the hill:/ 
not cool, dawg:/
when you finally reached the top, you found that some of the guys were making a snowman
awwwwwwwwwwwww
Jisung saw your heart melting upon the sight and said, “Stop that, this is emo boy gang, either get on board with emotional numbness or get out.” 
that stopped melting your heart, but you still loved the sight of all of them so concentrated on making a huge snowman
Jaehyun led the group, telling them what to do and assembling everything
by the time the snowman was complete, it easily was taller than you were
“yo. this is dope, bro,” johnny said to Jaehyun, pulling him into a bear hug
“thanks, bro,” Jaehyun said, laughing a bit at how ridiculous it all was
“Snowball fight time?” Jeno asked, all of the younger boys behind him, looking at you Old Folk for confirmation as to whether or not it’d be socially acceptable to start wailing balls of coldness at each other
you, johnny, and Jaehyun looked at each other and shrugged 
“Why not?” 
why not, indeed
without a second of hesitation, the younger boys started chucking snowballs at you three
“FUCK” “SHIT” “BITCH” 
sicko mode or mo bamba? 
“DIVIDE AND CONQUER, DIVIDE AND CONQUER!” you yelled, all three of you taking off in different directions, making the boys split up their force to follow
for some reason, Jaehyun ran along with you, leaving johnny to fend for himself
“Jaehyun, this isn’t a part of the plan!” you scolded, but at the same time loved the situation yall were in
“I know, I wanted to make sure you don’t get hurt.” 
wow, we stan !
“That’s awfully sweet of you, but now we have to figure out how to get rid of them.” 
“I’ll make a diversion while you hide and make ammunition? Send a signal or something and i’ll find you when you’re ready,” Jaehyun told you, making a sharp left and darting through the trees, a trail of boys following him
since you were left alone, you put your hands on your blushing cheeks and then got to work
within a few minutes, you had more than enough ammunition to hit the boys with and you saw all of them at the bottom of the hill, some wrestling and some throwing wads of snow at the others
great idea: take them out from up there?? yes, let’s go y/n, coming in clutch w that idea
without warning, you began to chuck the hundreds of snowballs you made at the boys
by the time you went through all the ammo, none of the boys were left standing except for johnny and Jaehyun
johnny stood up from behind a statue in the campus center and said, “Holy shit.” 
Jaehyun looked at all the boys laying in the fetal position and said, “Holy shit.” 
after that, everyone wanted to go home
not sure why, after all it’s not like they just got their asses kicked in the cold
“I don’t feel like going back to the dorms so soo, though,” Jaehyun said to you and Johnny
johnny went :) idea time! 
“I am feeling really tired from today, but I heard Y/N say earlier that they wanted to stop at the café at some point today and try one of the new drinks they’re making.” :) ;) 
fuck
“Okay, cool. Do you want to go to the café with me, then?” Jaehyun asked you
Jaehyun asked you. 
Jaehyun asked you? 
“Yes, I’d love to!” you told him, handing your sled to Jaemin to take with him to the dorms
after parting ways, yall went to the café and had a kind of?? date
just a lot of small talk, what is your goal in life, what are your deepest fears, blah blah blah
on the way home, though, that was when it got REALLY couple-y
you slipped on ice! 
and he went to catch you!
but he fell, too!
but he made it so that you were laying! on! top! of! him!
Hello, K-drama moment!
instead of speaking, you both stared into each other’s eyes 
before you totally #securedthatman by rolling off of him
and making a snow angel
laughing, he stood up and held out a hand to help you up
“Come on, let’s get going, it’s really cold out now. Too cold for snow angels, for sure.” 
“Not even one snow angel?” you asked, flashing him puppy dog eyes
“Not even one snow angel,” he confirmed and helped you up, and!
he didn’t let go of your hand! 
later on, yall consider that snowball fight turned café trip to be your first date, and boy, was it cold, but your hearts sure as hell felt warm that day
in conclusion, uwu
