#he then proceeds to find ways to become popular and have eyes on him

[misfortunekeep]

He stood-- near stumbled, really, as an empty feeling settled upon his form. Growing up, Scar has always been the center of attention. A child born with scars (hah!) marring his skin, he was an anomaly to his much older brother who wept in fury at being handed a brother to love and protect already hurt. Cub was given someone to shield having already failed him, and the genius had grown overboard to compensate as if to apologize for his negligence like they had any control over the matter, like Scar's marred skin was of consequence to Cub's subpar brotherly skills. He surrounded Scar with robots, machines designed to monitor his every move, ensuring his safety in ways Cub believed he himself could not. And with Grian's permanent fixture in his life, Scar's only grown more confident with eyes on him. So when he awakened without the distinct feeling of being Watched, well... He was disoriented, Scar reserves his right to panic, just a little bit.

A drabble of a fic I'll probably never write.

⏦ﾟ♡︎ GDRAGON AS YOUR HUSBAND!

୨ৎ pairing: husband!jiyong x fem reader

୨ৎ genre: fluff! mild smut! & more fluff

୨ৎ from myeong: hi! thank you for requesting and I’ve been so excited to get this done for you! hope you can enjoy it x

ʚɞ GDRAGON VS JIYONG?

of course there’s a small difference here and there.. we are speaking about the gdragon himself! but he is still your caring, thoughtful, loving, affectionate, and kind man that you decided to marry hoping to spend the rest of your life with—which you will bc there is no way that he’s letting you go. never ever.

he’s the sweetest man. takes such good care of you and makes it his mission to get you whatever it is that you want or need—don’t even have to ask! if he knows you’re wanting something? you’ll have it.

will learn how to make your favorite dishes in an instant! say he’s not the best at cooking or maybe it’s just this particular meal? will go as far as taking a class just to learn how to make it the perfect way.

absolutely adores when you’re able to watch him on stage and no not just on the television he’ll want you at every concert or show he does. that’s when the king of k-pop comes out! but when the show is finished and his eyes find you? oh there is your cute and sweet jiyong again that’ll do anything for you.

a very touchy man he is—especially in the morning he’ll need to be wrapped around you. either his arm is wrapped around your waist or he’s got his arm wrapped around your shoulder pulling you closer to his warm chest, hearing the soft sound of his calm heartbeat that he always says “beats just for you.”

even when he’s in public with you and he is the gdragon himself.. he’s still your sweet husband and will always take care of you. he enjoys pushing his fingers through your hair and pulling you closer to him by your waist and looking down at you with a cute goofy smile on his face. nothing about this man changes just because you’re in public.

writes so many songs about you. the majority of them he won’t release and waits until he thinks they’re perfect to show you and he’ll call you into the studio for you to hear while you sit on his lap. he’ll stare up at you the whole time wanting to see your reaction and how you genuinely feel about it.

“what do you think, baby? I worked so hard on it and I just.. wanted to make it perfect for you—us.” his hand will be resting on your lower back and he’ll smile up at you from time to time just seeing how flustered you get from all of this. he loves that part.

not sure if this sounds weird! but I think it’s sweet and he’ll think it’s even sweeter but he enjoys slow dancing with you in the living room. picking out the perfect slow older korean song and grabbing you gently by the waist and slowly dancing with you even if you’re both not that good at it. it’ll be both a very romantic gesture and funny memory.

sometimes… you get gdragon in bed. he’s more rough with you but will always ask if this is okay first before he proceeds. sometimes he can’t help himself and craves you so badly that he becomes like a desperate animal in heat. his kisses are rough, hot, and messy against your lips while his hands roam your perfectly crafted body.

“fuck—you look so good underneath me like this. you always do.. such a perfect girl for me, hm? you like this don’t you? like it when I’m rough with you.”

he can go a few rounds. a few breaks in between to check on you and make sure you’re okay before he wants to go at it again. morning sex is also quite popular with him. he enjoys slow, romantic, and sweet morning sex. sometimes he’s a bit rough but he’ll apologize and ask if you’re doing okay.

you’re his passenger princess!! he’ll take you all over the place and rest his hand on your thigh, or grab at your hand and hold it like he’s never held it before and place soft pecks to your fingers. when stopped at stop lights he’ll take pictures of you before handing the phone over to you and asking to take pictures of him. he calls these ‘cute memories’

if you two get into an argument it won’t last. he doesn’t think it’s right to stay mad at you especially if the argument is such a petty one. he’ll break first and apologize and ask what he could do to make things better for the both of you. he enjoys being mature about it and handling things with care.

loves sharing his art with you and he eventually takes his art to another level and makes it all about you. pieces that he’s either worked on or just bought are strictly for you and he’ll wait for the perfect moment to show you and tell you about each piece and what it means for the both of you.

HII, saw your post on wanting asks, well here 🫶 I love talking so, and specifically on playboy yandere!! I'm a sucker for angst and yanderes falling into insanity honestly, so let me ramble a bit

- imagine if reader graduates highschool and gets an overseas scholarships!! They also convince their family to move together with them so Kameron can't hurt or use them to blackmail reader. So with only a break up text saying like "bye manwhore 😍😍", blocking and deleting all their social media, I wonder how long and how far would he take to get reader back again? Would he inherit his parent's riches, hire some private investigatiors to find reader and find the country they're living in, expand his business over to their country in order to gain power to trap his darling. And I wonder how deranged his reaction would be to reader's text and be like no way, they're joking right, and runs to their house and whatever usual spots they're at normally, and just break down into insanity. would he try to use substitutes for reader to maintain his sanity or go fully devoid of emotions and start working hard to gain power and influence to find reader again!! I'm also curious how he would process his darling leaving him, would he become delusional first, saying they got kidnapped or something, or some ex or fling of his hurt reader, and then proceed to anger, depression, grief and then finally accept the reality!!

Ok that's a lot of rambling 😭😭 hope it's okay. I rlly enjoyed that fic, was rent FREE in my mind for a whole day

you know luci, you just gave me an idea. So have a part TWO of THIS DUMBASS HOE 🤝

Yandere playboy x reader

Tw: mentions of murder, kameron being delulu, yandere and obsessive behavior

💋kameron was having another breakdown. Sobbing pathetically on the floor of your old bedroom. Just how did you run away? And on such short notice too!? Didn't his love mean anything to you!? WHY DID YOU ABANDON HIM?

💋a million thoughts swirled through his head, until he finally got one that just... stuck. He had to get you back. No matter how long it takes. Getting up and dusting himself off, he kicked the front door open and quickly left the empty house

💋it was a shame really. The once sane and popular boy was struggling to keep his image. So he got help. Not professional as in therapists and medication. Just hiring other students to cover for him Incase he slipped up. all while snooping through the head teachers computer to see if they had any notes on where you might have gone. He almost got caught a few times

"shit that was close.. i can't believe these idiots leave their passwords just anywhere"

💋he knew he shouldn't be back at the school, especially since he graduated but he needs all the information he can get. Eventually moving onto private investigators and online stalking through multiple other accounts. He'd try anything just to see what his darling was doing without him. Were you enjoying making him suffer? You're so cruel..

💋hiring other people to befriend you and lower your guard, gathering any Information they can

💋 kameron who spent a while convincing his parents to let him take hold of the company. He had a degree, a bright mind, responsibility. He's perfect for the job! Oh if only they knew where his 60% was going.. funding multiple businesses across the world in exchange for keeping a careful eye. Making him quite the celebrity

💋look darling! He's on the news-! ...oh right you're not here.. one evening, while working in his office, a new secretary comes in to introduce themselves. They look just like you! He could only stare in shock.

"my love..? Is that you!?"

"..who?"

💋turns out it was just a doppelganger. But with enough time he'd delude himself into thinking it was you. Courting them with the same flowers, chocolates and jewelry he'd given you. It worked like a charm! Now you were back In their arms again. They felt whole..

💋he married your lookalike a year later, the poor fool being too naive and oblivious to think. He was happy for awhile.. or until one of his P.I's came in to show him they found you. His reality started to break.

💋no.. how could he do this to you. Replacing you with some cheap street whore. That night, when they went to bed, he gave them a cup of water and smiled sweetly. Watching as their face went red and they started to cough for air after gulping it down. Clawing at the sheets and staring at him with wide fearful eyes. Begging him to help them

"...slut."

💋 burrying the body in his backyard, he paid people with underground connections to cover for him while he was away. Claiming they suddenly vanished, having run away with a small fortune. How idiotic are people, to actually believe him..

💋kameron disguised himself and went straight for the country you decided to flee too. 5 years apart from you.. he had no idea how he managed to live so long without his beloved, but it was all worth it. Because now you'll be back where you belong. In his arms.

💋you were busy working at your job, running a small business was no joke but atleast the people in the area were friendly. So you didn't notice the suited figure Infront of your cash register

"thank you, please come again-"

💋you froze, looking up at the terrifyingly familiar face. He stared back at you with only glee and love

"hello my darling~ you've been on a naughty streak for a while Haven't you? That's okay, I'll just set you straight when we go back home."

💋big burly men all blocked you from escaping by guarding the doors. Dragging all the other customers out so you both could have your moment. Now you could never leaver leave him. Ever.

Fraud|Part 4|Yandere All Might x Hero!Reader

(A/N: I love doing yanderes who have a lot of political power. Both All Might and Levi can basically get away with anything because they have a reputation that proceeds them. Hope you enjoy and comment to be added to the taglist!)

WARNINGS: implied noncon, dubcon, manipulation, domestic abuse, yandere themes, forced marriage, forced pregnancy, stockholm syndrome, graphic depictions of violence, mind breaking, misogyny, power imbalance, age difference, cheating, etc.

===============================================

When you're the Number One hero it's never hard to find someone willing to do whatever it takes to get in the good favor of the Symbol of Peace. Anyone would kill to be so recognized by Japan's hero.

With this came some rather deranged fans who would do even more than most because of their deep devotion and infatuation with the hero. Some women would call to him on the streets while others were willing to lie, steal, and manipulate if it meant the Toshinori noticed them.

Which is where he found the perfect woman to execute his plan.

===============================================

Just killing the man would do nothing in the long run. Some women swore off love forever if the person they considered their soulmate happened to die, or they would always long for the one who's life was cut short too soon. And what Toshinori needed was for her to fall for him, that way she would be easier to manipulate.

Breaking her entire image of this man was what needed to happen. To make her believe that all men except for him were truly horrible and deplorable people.

Then she would find safety in the only one who was truly kind and good to her.

The most gorgeous women followed All Might like he was a god, so when he approached a young woman and have her seduce Shade's significant other in exchange for promised intimacy later, she jumped at the opportunity. Both women were out of this scum's league, but there was no doubt he would choose what he perceived as the prettier of the two.

Deep down All Might felt a twinge of guilt, forcing this woman to go through such pain to get what he wanted was truly deplorable. But if the man willingly cheated on her then All Might was simply saving her time.

===============================================

Shade had noticed something was off with her boyfriend for a while. Her and Hunter had moved to Japan from America when they were determined to make their relationship work after they both believed that they had better chances at becoming pros in Japan. Both of them were pros, with him having a bit more popularity than she, something he often reminded her of. But they had been happy, which is why his coldness to her now was immediately raising alarm bells.

Hunter usually demanded sex, getting frustrated with her whenever she was too tired on just generally not in the mood. However as of late he hadn't been asking or demanding it at all. Only when she initiated did he even touch her.

And then there was his phone, always on it, always smiling and texting someone she didn't know. Shade had to give Hunter her passcode so he could ensure she didn't cheat, however when she asked he told her to shut her mouth.

Suspicion and jealous rose up in her. "Who're you talking to babe?" She asked casually.

"Just a buddy of mine." His smile vanished.

"About what?"

"Nothing, damn, can't you leave me alone?" He rolls his eyes and goes back to the screen.

She was probably getting worked up over nothing, Hunter said he loved her so why would she need to be worried about what he was doing?

==============================================

Days turned into weeks of staying out late and mysterious messages and phone calls, and all the while Shade continued to force herself to believe all was well. Everything would be fine in the end. It would all work out okay.

Until she came home early.

Heroes never followed a very scheduled day, different jobs and situations called for unpredictable hours. Especially for a hero trying to make it.

But with the recent strangeness of Hunter, Shade wanted to make an effort to ensure it wasn't her not giving her all into the relationship. So she made a point of coming home early to surprise him. Nails and hair done in a new dress, something sexy in her shopping bag. All to show him she cared.

She shouldn't known what she would find when the door creaked open and she heard the noises. But the morbid curiosity forced her to walk the hall to their bedroom, where the creaking and moans filled her ears.

Shade pushed the door open, feeling numb as she saw another woman riding the dick of her boyfriend.

did the gang find out about macsummers in modern or canon times?

i have given up on answering asks in order i answer asks in order of the giggles they give me

the girlies of the gang all knew in canon era. karen, mary-beth, jenny, and tilly were all actively shipping them and directly responsible for sean realizing lenny was actually flirting with him. god knows if sean would have ever connected the dots in either era without them (to be fair lenny was flirting in that 19th century 'could be murdered in the street if he was outed' and spending adolescence in reform school did not help sean in learning how to understand subtext and contextual clues)

also please imagine lenny 19th century educated man flirting. thinking he's so smooth laying it on maybe a little too thick teaching sean to read starting with the happy prince, sean mentions it offhandedly to mary-beth who proceeds to choke on her coffee because She Knows

lenny and sean being together was such a core part of the quartet's dynamic that when lenny found jenny in modern era and said 'and sean's here too' jenny let out a sigh of relief because she was not putting up with lenny's lenny-ness on her own before going 'no oops that sounded fucked i'm super sad he died but also yay sean's here'

hosea is just side-eyeing them suspiciously for a few weeks because "HMM they seem awful co-dependent in a way i had not noticed in canon era. maybe it's trauma bonding? maybe they're clinging to their friendship more than they did in canon era to cope with oh god damn us all they're fucking aren't they"

bessie just tilts her head slightly in confusion "darling i know you were slightly distracted at the time but did you not see the way they embraced when they saw each other? i am almost certain this is not a new occurrence"

also shoutout to bessie who despite being a 50+ year old history lecturer who no one would expect to be in the know she very politely sat the boys (and her husband) down powerpoint presentation style to explain modern era queer lexicon like for the love of all that is holy please do not use the terms sodomite or pederast they have CHANGED MEANING (the term homosexuality wasn't considered popularized in america until 1906 like she would have had to explain... so much)

arthur was very confused because look he's a little behind the 8 ball at times and just assumed karen and sean + lenny and jenny would become things, moreso than actually taking issue with anyone's sexuality. they obviously all suffer from heteronormativity

and of course how much identities and terminology changed from 1999 to 2011 (when most of the gang got there) lenny spent a good two years unironically identifying as moronsexual

sean's dyslexic ass having to learn the acronyms he thought BLTs were gay sandwiches for weeks pray for him (he still calls them gay sandwiches in private and they are a staple of the macsummers household)

it took so long to get used to gay meaning queer instead of happy. still slip up and say they're feeling gay when someone asks how they're going then backpedaling wait no well yes but you didn't need to know that i Was in a great mood

most of the gang didn't really react - they ALL knew about hosea and dutch 'reading' in canon era so if it was going to be an issue it would have come up then. just 'oh cool good for you guys what the hell is with miniature moving picture box in the house are we rich'

bill was the only one who even questioned it? looking at all these same-sex couples discreetly wondering aloud if in the future it was the norm ('without' a hint of optimism in his voice) because i, the author, accidentally made them all very not cishet

maeve at the tender age of 4 looked this bear of a man in the eyes and called him a faggot (she picked it up from the gang using it affectionately)

bill had no idea what that meant but he did know it was something at his expense

preliminary akechi palace au thoughts!

goro akechi. tokyo. reality television show.

upon entering his palace, you find yourself on the set of a fusion reality/game show, and are greeted by one of akechi's shadows, the hero prince. he is bright and always smiling, fluctuating in age but generally either around nine or fifteen. sometimes, he will briefly excuse himself so a member of the television crew can give him a new face with which to replace the current one, obscuring the nothingness underneath. emotional distress, especially anger and embarrassment, will cause his face to crack like a porcelain doll.

the hero prince is the star of the show. he is good at everything, and everyone loves him. he's the audience favorite! he wins every challenge on the show, and will swear it isn't scripted - he's just that good! really!

it's impossible to make much progress, let alone find the treasure, during this first visit. you're stuck on the set, and you can play televised games against akechi and the other contestants, but akechi will always win and his demeanor will never shift. he is popular, he is perfect, he is loved. everything is about him. there are cameras everywhere, eyes everywhere.

to proceed, you have to let his real self know that you know he isn't perfect, that everything is an act. and the next time you enter, the facade will have cracked. the hero prince will follow you instead of guiding you this time, and he's obviously being controlled by puppet strings. his face will crack much more often, and he'll ask for attention and validation a lot.

you like me, right? hey, look at this! one time, we played a game, and the way i won was so smart, listen to me! you like me, right? do you love me? do you enjoy my company? am i bothering you?

if you give him enough validation, the palace will begin to repair itself and lock you out of further progress again. if you ignore him, he will become increasingly desperate, and the palace will become more hostile, with more high-level shadows appearing. if you tell him you don't like him, he will attack you then and there, but retreat if it seems like he's losing, and will not interact with you again. if you participate in challenges this time, a cognition of joker will be playing as well, and he will have essentially taken akechi's place. he'll always win, everyone loves him, he's wonderful and perfect to an almost cartoonish degree. but he'll be extremely nice to akechi no matter what, even as the other competitors begin to laugh and make fun of him if you play multiple games. pictures, statues, posters, and the like of akechi will have been replaced by joker as well.

eventually, you might be able to find your way backstage. here, you can see the scripts, the teleprompters, the rigging - how everything about akechi is fake. everything is scripted, his victories are choreographed. you can hear the crew members bad mouthing him, calling him worthless and stupid and ugly, both generally and in very specific and incredibly personal ways. no one actually wants him there. some will even talk about wanting to hurt or kill him. the cameras and eyes will become more apparent and unsettling, this time obviously not part of the controlled environment of the tv crew.

aaaand that's all i have for now! :D

“Y/N Y/L/N,” You offered to the receptionist, adjusting the strap of the bag on your shoulder. Fingers clicked away on an iPad keyboard for a few moments more.

“Ah, there you are,” They spoke, tapping the screen before twisting in their seat and riffling through alphabetized name cards. They pulled out a name card with your name neatly printed on it and held it out along with a lanyard. “Welcome to the London Radical Makeup Convention, take a bag, you will find the itinerary for the talks and demonstrations, list of vendors, and a few other helpful pamphlets.”

Thanking the receptionist, you grabbed one of the bags and joined your friends who were currently cooing over a nearby poster. It was one of the popular make up artists in the industry at the moment.

“Are you done fawning over them or shall I leave you alone with the poster for a few more minutes?” You asked them, your eyes crinkling as you smirked. You received dirty looks, even insulted ones, at your dig at their devotion to the artist.

“You do realize that this Benny, don’t you!?” Neli gasped dramatically, as if you had just stated an egregious sentence. Well, in her world you had. Your eyebrow popped up and you waved your hand at the poster.

“Yes, Nel, it’s Benny, their just another makeup artist that has talent.” Neli gasped further as Julien rolled his eyes and Isabella shook her head.

“No, you just don’t get it, babe, Benny’s the hot and upcoming star, they’re like the it person of the makeup artist world! They’re even making an appearance at one of the panels!” Isabella chirped, drumming her impeccable nails on her caramel arm.

“And? I’m here for the VFX panels, not an artist who made it up the chain by pure luck and not talent.” You stated dryly. “Benny’s an air headed influencer that doesn’t have any color sense and really needs to shave that stupid mullet. God forbid it becomes a new trend…”

Neli let out a strangled gasp, clutching at her chest, while Isabella’s face scrunched. At least Julien seemed to agree with you on the mullet comment.

“Babe, that mullet needs to go,” He nodded in agreement. “If I had two minutes and a pair of clippers…” Julien sighed, clearly daydreaming about getting rid of the backwater red neck abomination.

“You both are terrible, it’s their classic look!” Neli argued, stomping her foot on the floor.

“Yes and you can tell us all about how terrible we are on the way to our room.” You said, pushing Neli away from the line of people lined up and waiting to check in for the convention. “Come on, we’re blocking people.”

Neli and Isabella grumbled the entire way to your shared room on the third floor of the hotel. The four of you had decided to be frugal with certain expenses while in London. So you had reserved a two bed hotel room to share, it would be tight with four adults… but you would be able to spend your money on what really mattered: the makeup and experience of being in the city. At least Isabella was petite and Julien gay, it made your friendship and living together easy. It also payed to have a hairstylist just getting into makeup. Julien was often a godsend on bad hair days.

Upon entering the hotel room, Isabella flopped onto one of the beds and Neli darted over to the window to get a view of London. You looked at Julian.

“Bed partners again?” Julian gave Neli a wary side eye.

“Definitely, babe, I don’t want to wake up to face hugger over there trying to claw my face off again.” He made a face while you snorted out a laugh. The last time the four of you had shared a hotel room had been while you went out to see a runway show in Las Vegas. You and Isabella had been woken to Julien’s high pitched screech as he forcefully removed a very asleep Neli. That was the last time Julian had shared a bed with little Neli and you were family sure he had some sort of trauma from it.

“Sounds good,” You echoed, venturing further into the hotel room. You were looking forwards to hearing about the new types of makeup for your work and eager to learn about the advancements in prosthetics. The type of makeup art you did was special effects and prosthesis, and usually not beauty related. That wasn’t to say you couldn’t whip up a beautiful look with your makeup, you absolutely could… you just had a big interest in movie makeup and creating characters.

Dropping your shoulder bag on your selected bed, you let your luggage roll to a stop next to you. It was lightly packed with room for the makeup samples you were going to buy from the vendors. While you were digging through the bag you had picked up from the receptionist, you vaguely heard Isabella and Neli talking about going out to a bar one of the nights to enjoy the nightlife at least once. You didn’t have much interest in going out, your entire focus was on learning as much as you could. Whatever it was that the pair wanted to do, you had no interest in it.

“I’d really rather not,” You stated dryly, eyeing the clothes Neli and Isabella had pulled out. “Surely you’d rather have fun without me…” Neli raised her eyebrow at you and crossed her arms.

“No, not an option, Y/N, you are coming with us,” She insisted. “We came to London to have fun, okay? I don’t want to have fun with you moping around in our hotel room.” She pointed out, Isabella nodding along and agreeing with her statement. “I know they’re not really your thing, but don’t stay holed up in this room the whole time we’re here, will you?”

You didn’t want to, really didn’t want to, but your friends were looking at you with such pleading looks. You didn’t want to be the Debbie downer on this trip. So you heaved out a soft sigh and gave them all a wilted look. It would only be a few hours… right? A few hours of being at a bar, with loud people, drunk people, music that may or may not be palatable… it was unappealing but you loved your friends.

“Okay, but you know I didn’t bring anything nice to wear, just comfortable clothing.” You told them, eyeing the shiny clothing Neli and Isabella would no doubt be wearing. Julien perked up, a sly smile appearing on his face.

“Babe, you know that you and Izzy are about the same size.” He pointed out. Your eyes flickered to his.

“She’s like two sizes smaller than me,” You shot back, nose wrinkling at the thought of squeezing into Isabella’s tight skinny jeans. That wouldn’t work, your hips were far too curvaceous for that. Julian’s smile widened.

“Izzy baby, you bring that black dress of yours?” A smile stretched across Isabella’s face and she rushed over to her luggage and dug around. You groaned the moment she pulled out a slinky black stretch dress. This did not bode well for you.

“That’s not going to fit,” You meekly spoke, fidgeting where you stood.

“It’s body con, Y/N, it’ll fit.” Julien said, snatching the dress from Isabella and approaching you. He thrust the dress into your chest and you stepped back. “Put that on and I’ll work my magic.”

“Do I have to?”

“Yes!”

The dress stretched around your body, nearly bursting at the seams. You hated it. Hated it so much! First, your cleavage was nearly bursting out of the neckline (a bombshell look Isabella called it). Second, you had to continually tug on the hem of the dress because it kept hiking up… and the shoes. No, you weren’t wearing shoes, you were wearing heels. Your feet were shoved into one of the pairs Isabella had brought. Why she needed to bring so many, you didn’t know. All you knew was that you were dolled up and you didn’t like it. It wasn’t you, you didn’t do fancy dresses, heels, makeup. As ironic as it was for you to say, you preferred to be the one doing the makeup, not wearing it. Oh course your friends thought otherwise. Isabella was almost drooling over your cleavage, Neli was currently raving about how well your body looked in the dress, and Julian was gushing over your eyes.

You were silently willing time to move faster.

Walking to the bar, you hated that it was summer and you had no reason to bundle up in a coat to shield your body from pedestrians. They were looking, and most certainly appreciating. Isabella was already humming under her breath, clearly excited for the night, and Neli was practically skipping. You could take solace in this night that at least they were enjoying themselves. Upon entering the bar, you experienced exactly what you were expecting and disliked. Loud music, equally loud people, a smell of smoke and sweat, drunk people already.

“I have so many regrets right now,” You muttered weakly as the girls dragged you to the bar and you tried your best to ignore the hungry stares you received. Keeping your head down, you scurried up to the bar and tried to disappear into the bar top as Isabella and Neli ordered several drinks. Your eyes flickered around the crowded space, and you spotted an empty table tucked away in the corner, it was like a little safe haven at this point. The moment the drinks were placed in front of Isabelle and Neli, you snatched them and scurried over to that table, tucking yourself far, far away from the eyes of hungry people.

As the pair eyed you while you sat down and practically hunched over to hide your more than adequate cleavage, your eyes swept the bar for where Julian had gone. He was already chatting up a pretty man on the far side of the bar.

“He moves fast,” You commented dryly. Neli snorted in agreement as Isabella raked her eyes over the crowd of pub goers. She was already looking for someone to hook up with, you just knew it. Or maybe someone to have a quick and dirty bathroom fling. You tried not to think about what your friends had in mind for the night and turned your attention to your drink. Hopefully your night wouldn’t entail being harassed by unwanted advances and people would keep their hands to themselves.

You had sulked in the background of the bar for at least two hours and were ready to slam your head against the small table you had not moved from. The drink you had been sipping was empty and as much as you wanted another, it was in your best interest to not have another alcoholic beverage and just get a water. You wanted to keep your wits about you, certainly in this type of situation. So standing up from your seat, you grabbed your glass and carefully picked your way through the crowd to the bar. You had to shy away from wandering hands and ignore blatant cat calls. This was exactly why you ignored bars in general. You made it to the bar and discovered that you were only really going to have a chance at asking for a water if you went to the very end of the long bar.

Wiggling your way to the counter, you waved at the bartender who gave you a chin lift in acknowledgement. She finished the drink she was making, and started making another as she walked over to where you stood.

“What can I get you, love?”

“Just a water, please.” You requested, ignoring the stares from those around you and choosing to look up at the line of bottles on the wall. Your water was delivered quickly and you sipped it as you retreated to the back of the bar for a reprieve from the hungry gazes and stares. This was the last time you were humoring your friends because you were both miserable and starving. Gulping your water, you dropped it in a bussing bin and took to aimlessly staring at the pictures on the back wall. It was covered with polaroids and other pictures of people, just randomly taped to the wall. “Do they ever take them down?” You softly mused to yourself, noticing that the pictures were simply placed over others.

“They don’t,” A voice replied from next to you. You looked to your left and saw a dark haired man staring at the wall. His eyes met yours and you were shocked by the blueness of his irises. “The owners just let people tape new pictures over the old ones.” You blinked at him and raised an eyebrow.

“And how long has this place been open?” You questioned, wondering just how many pictures were layered on this very wall. He shrugged while his lips twitched, then he turned toward you.

“Decades I think, been coming here for as long as I can remember.” He said, his head tilting to the side while he smiled. “But I haven’t seen you here before and you look like you’d rather be anywhere else.”

Free to Be Me: Prologue Preview

Since these are still works-in-progress, it is likely that the following excerpts will change between now and the final draft! Please keep that in mind while reading. The following excerpts have been taken from Chapters 1 - 6!

???: Do you seek the truth? (Yu falters when he hears a voice.) If it’s the truth you desire, please… Come and find me. (Curious, Yu proceeds on forward. There’s a ghost-like figure in the distance. He runs towards it, only for the fog to thicken around him.)

???: So, you’re the one who’s trying to break through, hm? (It’s a different, more malevolent voice than before. It laughs.) Try all you like.

Yu: Who…? What’s going on? Who are you?! (He reaches out, trying to get to the figure he sees, but they’re violently jerked away with a scream.)

???: You can still see, despite the fog? ...interesting. (Yu’s eyes narrow, and he runs forward to try and find whoever was calling out to him.)

Yu: Come back!

???: You cannot catch me that easily. The truth? Haha… if that is what you seek, then your search will only be in vain! (The fog around him grows thicker and thicker to the point where it’s almost suffocating. There’s a heavy static that clings to Yu’s clothes as everything around him becomes a haze. He can’t see, and that scream. It makes the static field forming around him almost hard to bear.)

Yu: Please… I can’t… (It feels like there are hands choking him.)

???: Everyone only sees what they want to. And when that happens, the fog grows thicker. Hmhm… I look forward to seeing the inevitable battle, Young Witch. And your inevitable demise! (Something leaps out at him from the fog, pinning Yu down and pulling him into the abyss. He screams as the world around him goes dark.)

---

(On the way home, Chie needles him with question after question. It’s almost hard to keep up. But Yu does his best to answer them each truthfully or in ways that she’ll accept. Eventually, she comes to ask him about his parents and why he was here and not with them. That one was pretty easy to explain.)

Yu: Their work. They’ll be overseas for the next year, and they didn’t want me to be on my own for that long. (And that’s all he has to say. Chie doesn’t need to know why they didn’t want him on his own for that long. She doesn’t need to know. No one needs to know.)

Chie: Gotcha… (She chuckles.) I thought that it was something way more serious. (And she takes it.) But I don’t get why they’d send you out here. There’s nothing really here. (Yu hums. Probably because they had both grown up in the area. Bonus points that they still had a relative living here who was willing to take him in.) But I guess that’s what makes it nice, even if there’s nothing that we can show people from the outside. I think there’s something about the mountain, though… Maybe our clothes or something are famous. Oh! There’s the Amagi Inn! Yukiko’s family runs it. It’s the pride of Inaba!

Yukiko: It’s just an old inn…

Chie: No way! It’s a great inn! (to Yu) It’s been going for generations, and Yukiko is gonna take it over someday. Their inn attracts a lot of Non-Mortals to Inaba. It’s pretty much what’s kept the town going.

Yukiko: I don’t think that’s true… (Yu’s a bit curious. Chie talked about the Amagi Inn a lot. And if she’s right and it’s the pride of the town… what doesn’t Yukiko seem more proud of it?)

Chie: Hey! (Yu hums.) You think Yukiko’s cute, right?

Yu: Huh?! (Okay, that’s caught him off-guard…) Uh, well…! That's um…

Chie: Whoa! Are you blushing?! *giggle*

Yukiko: Come on… Don't start this again… (Again?)

Chie: She’s really popular at school, but she’s never had a boyfriend. Kinda weird if you ask me. (It’s… not that weird when Yu thinks about it. And considering how embarrassed Yukiko is, she’s probably thinking the same thing.)

Yukiko: It’s not true! I’m not popular and I’ve never had a boyfriend! …W-Wait, no, I mean I don’t need a boyfriend! (She groans.) Chie…! (Chie laughs.)

Chie: Sorry, sorry… but this is our chance to talk to someone from outside of Inaba, and you’ve barely said a word this whole time!

---

(The group arrives at Junes’ Food Court without much of a problem, and Yu is left wondering why they’re at a department store of all places. Is the food here that good? He’d be surprised if that was true. Chie, on the other hand… isn’t as quiet about it as he is.)

Chie: This is the cheap place that you were talking about?! They don’t even have grilled steak here!

Yosuke: Yeah, well… plans change when some unexpected living mass of barbed wire decides to hop on the freeloader train, Chie. (Chie glares at him, but huffs and sits back down in her seat.)

Chie: Still, that’s no reason to take us to your place. (Yu blinks, a brow raised. His place?)

Yosuke: Dude, this isn’t ‘my place’.

Yu: Can I ask what you’re talking about? (Yosuke and Chie look over at Yu as if they just remembered that he’s sitting there with them.)

Yosuke: Right… I haven’t told you yet. I moved here from another city ‘bout six months ago. This location just opened up, and there really was a… very, very slim number of candidates for it. Apparently the council that’s responsible for keeping magic a secret had to step in to make sure that no human set foot in this place. Out of all the people, they picked my dad to manage it. So our entire family came out here. (as if to change the subject,) Here. Welcome to Inaba. (He places the plate in front of Yu, and gives Satonaka hers a little less kindly.)

(The conversation soon became quite animated over small talk, Yu kind of relieved that Chie and Yosuke had taken the lead on things.)

---

Yosuke: Hey! Yu. (That snaps his back to the present.) Whatcha lookin’ at?

Chie: Are we that close?

Yu: Huh?

Yosuke: What’s up, Chie?

Chie: Uh… have you guys heard of the Hollow Forest? (Yosuke and Yu exchange a look with each other before looking back at Chie.) It’s the forest that borders part of the town. People say that it’s haunted.

Yosuke: (bluntly) A haunted forest in a town that’s full of magical and mystical beings. That’s a big surprise. (Yu blinks. But… ghosts don’t really exist.)

Chie: Shut up! I’m serious! See all the fog in there? It’s always there. It never leaves the forest, either. It just stays there. That’s creepy!

Yosuke: So… creepy forest full of fog. That’s something.

Chie: They say that if you go in there, you never come out again. There are things that live in that forest. Bad things.

Yosuke: Well, we’re considered bad things. (Yu nods. Yosuke has a point. Yu looks at the forest.) Anyway, Chie. What kind of TV are you guys in the market for? Maybe I could find one in your price range.

Chie: I don’t know. They said they wanted one that’s cheap.

Yosuke: That depends on your definition of “cheap”

Chie: You got connections, right? C’mon, hook me up! (Curiosity gets the better of him. Yu steps forward, getting closer to the Hollow Forest’s border.)

Yosuke: You know I can’t do that. Well… there’s the display unit. It’s a little old, but…

---

Yu: My name is Yu Narukami. And this is Yosuke Hanamura. Do you have a name we can call you?

Mystery Bear: …Teddie. (Yu nods. Teddie. Meanwhile, Yosuke groans.)

Yosuke: Figures… but uh… How are we supposed to find the culprit in the first place?

Teddie: I dunno… oh! I do know where the last person who was in here was!

Yosuke: Last… you mean Saki-senpai!?

Teddie: I mean the person who came in here and where she was last! I dunno about the name. I can take you there. Oh! But put these on first! (He takes something out of his pocket and holds it out to Yu and Yosuke. It’s two pairs of glasses.)

Yosuke: (taking the orange pair) What’re those for? (Yu takes the remaining black pair and puts them on. The moment he does, his vision becomes much clearer.)

Yu: You should put them on, Hanamura.

Yosuke: Yeah, but I don’t get why… (He puts them on.) Whoa! It’s like the fog doesn’t exist at all…

Teddie: They’ll help you see your way through the fog. But uh… I can only show you where this place is. (He takes Yu’s and Yosuke’s hands, leading them through the trees.) You guys’ll have to defend yourselves.

Yosuke: Hey, we just got here! If it’s so dangerous, why don’t you do something instead of relying on us!? (Teddie shakes his head.)

Teddie: Uh-uh. I have no muscles. Oh! I’ll give you support from a safe distance! How’s that sound? (Yu and Yosuke look at each other, not sure about this. Could Teddie really not fight? Yu knew that he was kind of like a child, but… Suddenly Teddie trips, nearly bringing Yu and Yosuke down with him if he hadn’t let go in time. Teddie groans, trying to pull his foot free of the root that tripped him. But he’s stuck.) Noooo…!

Yosuke: Geez… (Yu crouches down and puts a hand on Teddie’s head, ruffling that fluffy hair of his from under his hood to calm him down. Teddie sniffles a little, relaxing as Yu frees his foot.) We swore to find the culprit, and our only back up is a little kid?

---

Other Yosuke: You put on such a good show of being so carefree and happy-go-lucky ‘cause you’re so terrified of being alone! You’ve gotta be surrounded by people to block out the pain of isolation. Not to mention the real reason you came snooping… It definitely wasn’t for Saki-senpai’s sake!

Yosuke: Stop it!

Other Yosuke: (laughs) Why’re you freaking out? I thought I was just spouting bullshit! Or maybe… I do know what you’re thinking!

Yu: How…?

Other Yosuke: I am Yosuka Hanamura! The only reason he dragged you in here with him was because he thought it sounded like a good time! What else is there to do out in this shithole? A strange world inside of a foggy forest? Now that is exciting! What other reason would there be for coming here?

Yosuke: That’s not true…! Stop… Stop it…!

Other Yosuke: You. You’re just trying to act like a big shot. And if it went well, hey, maybe you could be a hero! And that Senpai you were crushing on? Her death was the perfect excuse!

Yosuke: That’s not true! Who are you?! What are you!?

Other Yosuke: *chuckle* Didn’t ya hear me? I am you! I am your Shadow! (A shiver runs up Yu’s spine. No… how was that possible?!) There’s nothing that I don’t know about you.

Yosuke: No! No way! It’s impossible! You can’t be me, you son of a bitch! (The other Yosuke widely grins before bursting into ecstatic laughter.)

Other Yosuke: That’s right… Say it! Say it again!

Yosuke: You’re not me! You’re nothing like me!

Other Yosuke: Ha! That’s right… I’m not you. I am ME! (A light flashes around the Shadow as more Shadows swirl at its feet. Yu starts to feel sick to his stomach. It absorbs those Shadows, growing bigger and bigger until it becomes a freakish looking frog thing. Yosuke collapses.)

NEVERLAND IN AUGUST

I often tell myself I will no longer partake in writing tae fics bc they always turn out excessively angsty and melodramatic, and yet, I find myself here, time and time again.

short version: kth and poor decisions. salty air. beach shore. never meant to be. exchanges that slipped away into moments in time. a secret well kept, and then fallen into oblivion. seashells. skinny dipping. august, except it's not. you, except you are not mine. us, except there is no such thing. you were never mine to keep, or to lose. 

tae's got a neverland complex. doesn't wanna grow up, bc it means leaving behind his freedom, but worst of all, you. or something like that.

proceed, if you are interested in the long version.

wc: 3.7 k

tracklist: 'August' by Taylor Swift

tense and POV: 2nd person and past

You are so easy to fall back into, as though we are molded to fit one another, a lock to its key, and it shouldn't be this easy to self-destruct.

Taehyung slipped away into the night when the crowd had settled and turned its eyes blind; when the topics of conversation had shuffled from his career and marital prospects to rather pettier, popular culture developments.

He averted curious gazes amidst the crowded streets as he meandered aimlessly. Like a compass with a damaged needle, he spun indefinitely, pressed tight between bodies. No sense of direction.

With a flighty gaze, he scoured the surrounding, illuminated buildings for an anchor, a sort of lighthouse, some sort of sign to pierce his attention, slap him hard across the cheek as the ground would if he would only stop falling. If the ground were to catch him and hold him, rather than cave beneath his feet.

Gloomy, dim eyes searched past the silhouettes of the skyscrapers, past the nomadic clouds, which veiled the moon's luminous halo, attempting to make out faint stars freckling the sky.

Not just any stars.

Polaris - a stable point, axis, around which the rest of the world's body falls and rises.

The star he'd chased with his siblings through the playgrounds long ago.

The clouds were too vast and dense, as were the crowds pressing in around him. Suddenly, he felt painfully sympathetic of Polaris's condition; the world seemed to start spinning around him, too; the ground at his feet warping with each unsteady step.

He didn't want to be central, polar. He wanted to be a fuzzy margin, ambiguous, never quite a start, never quite an end. The horizon.

He wanted to be too many things in life, and nothing at all, at once. It was dizzying, to say the least, to be tugged in every direction. To have so many quarreling voices beckoning your attention.

Sometimes he wished he could split himself into a million little versions. Split the burden between them.

He just wanted it to stop. The spinning. The encompassing chatter. The omnipresent stares. All of it.

He dipped into a gas station with a neon sign for a header and pulled the cheapest bottle of red wine from its rack. Rolled it over the counter towards the register clerk along with his upturned ID, only his thumbpad mostly covered his picture and name.

It was a quick swivel, quick enough for the clerk to nod in recognition he was of age; not long enough for them to register the reputation behind the name, the face;

not long enough for a light to flicker in their distant gaze and their mouths to fall slack in awe.

With a lazy grip on the bottle's neck, he swayed and weaved through the saturated streets, often slamming shoulders, until he sank into a dim alley, save for an overhead flickering neon sign, similar to that of the gas station, only just one flicker short of giving out.

He padded his way out to a quieter, sleeping street, and found himself a vacant bench to collapse onto.

It was finally dark, and quiet, and the margins of the world had seemed to settle about him.

There, he conjured up an affair with the shadows until he grew to question whether he'd become one. Whether the star-freckled clouds had encompassed and carried him away, to some distant Neverland. A place that could offer him an eternity to figure out the calls and wants of his heart.

His parents had omitted a truth from him. They'd omitted many through his development, opting for sugar-coating existence, but of all the ones, this one was unforgivable. 

They had never mentioned how it is like the air in your lungs dissipates with each passing year. A blind habit forms: you start holding your breath just to get through a couple of gruesome hours, a shift, the day.

You wait for the afternoon to catch it again, but then the afternoons start growing burdensome in a way uniquely their own. It grows, the weight on your chest, drowns you and kills you slowly. 

In his brief recollection tonight, he supposes they'd been unconvincing in their pretensions. They'd never blatantly admitted this truth but had often insinuated it.  

He should have looked closer, not forsaken the fine details.

He would have noticed the drawn bags lining their eyes, the burst capillaries on the ivory margins.

He would have felt the exasperated sigh leaving their lips while bracing their weight against the counter, just trying to stand another day. 

He could feel that helpless sigh, now. Infact, it had grown to become his. 

A sigh which seeped into the quiet night. 

Quiet, safe for the whir of cars on the highway, a couple of miles back; safe for the chirp of crickets nestled amidst bushes, shrubs.

Quiet, safe for the sudden exclaim of a nearby branch, snapped under unannounced weight. 

Taehyung stiffened and used the bottle that had been resting on his thigh as leverage, in case he'd need to spring upward and dash -though, it would likely be less of a dash, more of a stumble and awkward trot away given his inebriation.

"Boo!" 

He didn't startle, much too inhibited to have reacted within the acceptable timeframe.

Or simply, too unbothered.

Instead, he turned his head with a lazy, drunken gaze and there you were -- his Neverland on Earth, stardust lining your eyes, a shard of magic and dream and impossible possibilities amidst a limiting world.

The stars surely envied you. 

You kicked the air, standing, waiting awkwardly, as if for an invitation from him to sit. You weren't sure if he'd appreciate you intruding on his hideout, even if it was a vacant restaurant patio, with rusted chairs and overgrown ivy.

"They are losing their minds looking for you, you know?" 

"They are?" A smug smile tugged on the corner of his glistening lips. "Let them." He proceeded to lick the gloss away, tasting the bitterness of residual liquor with subtle tones of sweet vanilla and tart cherry. "Are you gonna tattle on me?"

He swung down the leg he'd had outstretched on the bench, opening a space for you. Welcomed your presence. 

Your original reluctance dissipated, formerly pinched shoulders relaxing. 

"I already did," you flaunted, lied, made your way across the patio, crunching over shattered stone. 

As you lowered yourself onto the seat, he gestured the opaque bottle at you, whirling the contents around. 

"If I'm going down..." he started, holding back a hiccup behind puckered lips. For an instant, his face twisted, as if bile had crept up the column of his throat.

He swallowed hard, and quarreled with the nausea wringing his stomach. "I might as well not remember any of it."

You'd feel nauseated, too, leading his life.

Sure, it was glimmery and luxurious, alluring and comfortable by every physical means, with everything imaginable so carefully crafted and tailored. The perfect life.

It was all pretend, shallow. A gilded cage is only ever still a cage, a prison, confinement.

It wasn't him - not the him that you knew. He was a free bird, meant to take flight.

The him that you knew would be up for spontaneous drives to the shore. He'd get lost out of an insistence to avoid using navigation systems. He'd blast every genre of music through the speakers, and somehow recall every lyric, even the ones that were in a foreign tongue. 

The him you knew, would leave his shoes at every corner, flinging them off with irritability, complaining about how sore they made him, managing to turn it into a debacle on how suffocating it is to be trapped.

He'd walk on coarse gravel, all through the city. Come home with the filthiest soles, nothing short of charcoal. He'd defy every norm with the lightest of smiles, come spewing to you about the sights he saw on his adventures, the people he'd met, how he'd played soccer with a couple of kids from the neighborhood, how their mother had served him some jiggae and how it reminded him so much of home.

Then he'd guffaw, shake his head and tell you that it was weird how he could recognize the familiarity of home when he'd never really met it. 

But you were, of course, biased in your belief that the only version of him that existed was the one he showed you. You didn't really - or simply didn't want to - accept that this version could be the manifestation of a persona, a theatrical mask meant to distract something deeper, more fragile, genuine, and lost.

Your accepting company allowed him to be a different version of himself, but it wasn't entirely the truest one.

"Get up." You slapped his thigh and turned the bottle he'd handed over, letting its maroon content pour onto the cement, stain it beyond repair. "I want you to remember tonight." 

He groaned, collapsing his head onto his hands and ruffling his hair into a nest. "I had been enjoying that!" 

"That..." You shifted your gaze to the ground and then back up at him, brows pinched in question. You couldn't possibly be referring to the same thing. "No one could possibly enjoy that. Abominable." You shuddered.

"It was cheap," he justified. 

"You act as if you have no money."

"I don't! It's their money." He thrust both arms into the open air, gesturing to his puppet masters, to the strings sewn into his elbows and wrists.

At all times, he was being watched fall apart at the seams, and was scrutinized. The same life which had been breathed into his infantile lungs, never felt his. Instead, it reminded him of a plotted strategy on a chess board game drawn out for added torture. It wasn't a single, one-time commitment; it was a lifetime of sustaining choices that would remove him further from himself.

"Enough self-pity for one night. Come on." You rose, knees creaking a little. "Let's go." 

"Where to?" He beckoned, still planted on the bench. 

"Somewhere. Anywhere. Nowhere." The offer hung in the air, open to endless possibilities. Potential twinkled in your starry eyes; a million wishes and dreams birthed in a second. 

You smiled, and stardust gathered on your tear line, rained down and dusted his sullen limbs until he was floating, made weightless, trailing after you.

"Neverland."

"What?"

"Let's go to Neverland."

You snickered and it was as if bells chimed, rang, jingled.

"What are you - Have you gone mad?"  Taehyung hissed, dancing his weary gaze across his immediate surroundings. He'd rapidly grown weary, careful of an audience bearing witness to the spectacle you were putting on, in your lacy underwear. Locks of hair danced around your figure in response to a cool oceanic breeze gathering to greet you.

"I am pretty sure this is illegal. Illegal, T."

T, as in Tinker Bell, his personal version of a rose-tinged fairy, with a volatile temper, particularly when things don't follow your script.

Incredulously, Taehyung continued to mumble beneath his breath. The cyclical breath of the sea drowned his protests.

Your bra collapsed onto a mound of sand, forcing his lips mute. Like a fish hauled out of the water, his lips smacked open, shut, then open again, failing to close around the ghost of words he'd thought to say but suddenly drew blank on.

Cheeks burning flushed in that so fae way, you dipped your chin behind the curtain of your hair. 

You shut your eyes for what you were about to do. Mustered the courage to follow through, to not feel vulnerable under his gaze. 

Taehyung's unwavering gaze followed your hands down, before trailing up so fast he saw stars spinning around his field of vision. He felt he'd been thrown into Van Gogh's Starry Night.

Slowly, apprehensively, he let his eyes cascade over your silhouette, which grew smaller in the distance as you raced to the sea, desperate to hide in its embrace. 

Growing envious of it, Taehyung ripped his top off his torso, and stumbled the length of the shore, quarreling with his trousers. 

In his boxers, he stopped close enough for the edge of the tide to graze the tip of his toes. Retracted at the sudden bite of cold. "You are mad, woman." It's no longer a question.

"Look who's talking?" You twirled around, the water caressing your sides, sculpting you with as much love and delicate intent as a historic artist did his marble block. "Isn't this illegal?" 

And something in you fizzled, like the air bubbles frothing against your lips on the crystalline surface. It filled you with confusing pleasure to leave a mark on him. To corrupt him.

You hoped your touch on him - your influence - was permanent enough to outlive all that would proceed. Permanent and deep like etchings on tree barks, or indentations on freshly cemented sidewalks.

The panic in his gaze had long dissipated. It blended into a palette of emotions. All unnamable, indistinguishable, but utterly mesmerizing, nonetheless, much like the colorful horizon behind you. 

Delight. Amusement. Fascination. A twinge of flippant anger. 

You drive me mad, woman.

Orange sherbet. Strawberry pink. Lavender lilacs. 

Mad enough to rouge his own cheeks.

You'd like to stare long enough to acquaint yourself with each and every one of them. To name them all, and find where one starts, and the other ones trails off. 

But the thought of staring, steadily into his gaze makes you restless, short of breath. As if there isn't enough air in the entire atmosphere to satiate your lungs.

You can't name the way he looks at you; it's foreign, but not frightening in its oddity. Still, you can recognize its danger, in that it's not a known way to look at friends.

You reclined your head onto the surface of the water, much as you would against your pillow after a long day. "Oh, it's heavenly, Tae." With your arms outstretched like the limbs of starfishes on the ocean floor, you floated. The salty medium carried the voice of the sea directly into your ears. The sound of your breathing and the beating of your heart amplified.

A bizarre reminder that you were indeed alive.

Splashing and thrashing echoed across the sea, and you instinctively curled in on yourself to find Taehyung visibly grimacing at the cold state of the water.

"Why did I ever think following you was a good idea?"

You beamed, droplets of the salty sea clinging to your lashes, where they refracted the setting sun, and it's like stardust in broad daylight all over again.

"You have to do it all at once. Don't think. Just do," you encouraged, watching as the delicate, thinly defined muscles of his torso flexed and twitched over the surface of the water. 

His gaze was devoid, save for deeply creased brows caught in contemplation. A war with the limits of sensation. He held his arms linked over his chest to preserve heat, or perhaps hide his vulnerability.

Water pooled in the cup of your hand, which you splashed in his direction, aimed right at his handsome frown.

Victory ignited like an ember amidst your eyes. 

He grew to shudder a few arms' length from you. Broad and strong shoulders quivered helplessly.  

"You!" Then, those burnt-honey eyes pierced yours. Glaring. Fixed. 

The cupid-bow lining his upper lip momentously twitched as he repeated himself "You-" His words stumbled over unstable, shallow breaths.

You withdrew into the water's embrace and watched attentively, as the waterline climbed up his finely detailed torso. Outstretched arms grew nearer. Burnt-honey eyes widened in a vengeful craze. Ivory teeth became bared underneath strawberry-red lips. 

A frightened giggle of yours bubbled the water's surface rimming your chin. 

Finally, with an inhale of courage, Taehyung lunged forward, took the blow of the cold front on, and wrapped you in his arms. His weight sunk you beneath the surface. You were a pair of tangled anchors.

Not having stored a breath in your lungs, you squirmed and kicked in his old. His groans were muted by the harrowing echoes of the abyss beneath the sea. 

Strong arms tightened around you and hauled you out. You broke the surface with a desperate gasp, choking for breath between giggles. 

Laughter echoed in his chest, and reverberated through you. It reminded you of the waves and siren songs you grew up believing resided within conch shells as a pig-tailed kid. 

Since having shed your milk teeth and tolerated the gnaw of growing pains that accompanied such loss, you'd given up on childish fables of that kind.

On trips to the shore, there weren't hidden siren songs in the colorful conch shells you held up to your ear. There was only your younger sister cackling beside you, calling you a fool - but only after having tried it for herself first. 

But much as you had convinced yourself siren songs didn't exist inside the shells, you'd also convinced yourself you'd never hear that laugh again. Somber. Baritone. A tad boyish, in the way it would crack unpredictably. So wholly yours. It was a tune you'd looped in your memory from the very first instance you'd heard it.

In that split-second, with his hands fanned over your hip bones, and half-moon eyes tenderly fixed on yours, the fables did not seem so farfetched. New possibilities were solidifying at the tip of your fingers. Your fingers grazed the apples of his cheek. 

The possibilities were whispers in the crest of your ear. 

You'd only needed to get far enough from the bustling commotion of the city to hear them, to realize they'd always been there. 

An abstract somethingness would always exist between you two, just barely palpable.

The champagne had a mildly scorched aroma undermining its light fizz. You grimaced as it burned its way down your throat.

On any given night, you would much prefer a cup of tea to pair with the sacred act of slipping into bed; green, chamomile, on occasion, even aromatic Tulsi. 

But tonight, you weren't trying to sleep, to ease a mild case of insomnia. Sleep would rob you of time both of you knew you didn't have.

After a couple of swigs from the dark bottle, your skin began to buzz. A denseness subtly amounted over you, as though honey were dripped over your body, every move lubricated, viscous.

Your legs were warm, draped over his in a languid, but intimate manner - almost grounding in nature, as if you were his anchor. You tethered him to the present pleasures, kept his mind off the anxious tomorrows. 

His lips were sweet on yours and at times a hint bitter, like something you shouldn't have taken pleasure in tasting. A poison, that grows tolerable the more you ingest, but not any less deadly.

The tolerance being an illusion, an influence of the poison over you, foreshadowing its impending triumph, as you relinquish your willpower. 

That's it. You were dwindling under its influence. Your mind grew heavy, like your limbs, with intoxication. 

It was no longer bitter.

Rather, it became cloying, and you were innately and undeniably insatiable. 

Taehyung hoisted your hips to reposition them over his, desiring your proximity. Possibly as equally intoxicated. The question hung over your heads in the shape of a watchful moon.

Who was the poison? 

The hold on you was rough, but harmless. It was the gentlest rough-grip you have ever been subjected to. You allowed it. 

"I shouldn't do this." Your shallow breath ghosted his swollen lips in torment. 

He nuzzled the distance in desperation, and you obliged, tasting him apprehensively.

Just one peck. 

Then, another. 

And, what if, perhaps you held his lips in place with adoration and reverence. Held them in a warm hug, as if to shield them from the cool breeze blowing in from the sea. 

Would that have been such a crime?

The set of trespassers that tore through your blouse certainly were (criminal). They robbed you of any and every modicum of self-restraint.

You were no longer holding his lips. You had long since graduated to a sculptor, molding them to your will with each measured graze. Simultaneously, you started to circle your hips over his, back and forth, round around. 

"We should stop." Taehyung breathed raggedly into your neck. "Tell me to stop," and it came across as half-plea, half-demand.

You defied him, pulled him close, your breasts flushed against his sturdy chest.

You were definitely the poison.

You were a corrupt, filthy little thing. Loved it when he called you out on it. 

Tonight, he held you like you were something, someone sacred, like you were ceramic at risk of shattering in his hands.

You wrestled his gentle touch, wanting him to defile as he'd done enough times before for it to not be mistaken with error, overwhelming tempation.

You were temptation embodied, but he never once feigned sanctity.

Equally so, if not more, you deeply desired to defile him, to permeate every inch of him until the crime became undeniable. 

Fast, is how it unfolded.

But is there any better way to go?

Live fast, die young, right? Shine so bright you burn out. A phenomenal supernova. Watchers gathered to experience a historic event. 

There certainly wasn't an absolute right or wrong way to go.  But, if there had been, Taehyung was certain that way was fast. To burn like the dozens of stars in the sky, framing the quaint balcony. One moment there, the next gone. 

He knew that his departure approached just as quickly as dawn brightened the horizon. He knew you weren't oblivious to this fact.

Something in him winced at the thought of putting you through it again.

"Tell me to stop."

"Don't stop."

"Tell me to go," he almost begged, groaning as you kissed down the column of his neck. 

"Stay."

He wished he could. 

A ringtone blared across the room, funneling out through the creak between the balcony door and the frame. It said what neither could bring themselves to utter.

Taehyung marched out of the room, half-dressed, delirious but with a direction in mind.

And just like that, the bitter taste returned to overpower your senses.

The whispers in your ears, grew deceiving.

Deceitful little lies. Impossible possibilities.

The possibilities that had grazed your fingertips crumbled into mounds of sand. 

Sand, after all, is only ever withered shells.

Sometimes some people let their ships rule over them and affect their opinions on one character or group of people just based on that. If you like the inner circle then you dislike Lucien/Elucien or if you DO like Elucien then you dislike the inner circle (Feyre included!). Another one: if you like Gwynriel and Nesta and the Valkyries then you dislike the Inner Circle or if you like the Inner Circle especially Feyre then you dislike the Valkyries. You guys, Nesta and Feyre have made peace, calm down. If you like Rhys then you dislike Nesta and vice versa. Don’t even get me started on the whole Tamlin and Tamlain situation.

Meanwhile here I am: I love Feyre and Rhysand, they are the heart of this series, cry all you want but Sarah has made it that way. Let’s be honest ACOMAF, which is Feysand’s story, is what really propelled this series to become wildly popular. I also love Elucien (team doing it in a field of flowers or in the woods with fire in his blood all the way!) and I want Feyre and Lucien to get a proper revival of their friendship again. They give off total siblings vibe—the kind who will yell at the person who hurt you and then yell at you right after whilst saving your ass and then proceed to roll their eyes at you. Why does this sound like it’s happened already? They’ve been friends ever since she was a little itty bitty human! Probably her first friend ever, anywhere! I hope in the Elucien book (it will happen istg, we get some of Feyre and Lucien again) And I want the Archeron sisters to rebuild their sisterhood! I am not a Nesta Stan but I can appreciate her story and I like the Valkyries especially Gwyn! And I like the inner circle too! When Nesta and Rhys had that beautiful moment at the end of ACOSF I was so happy. Even with all their faults and flaws. I am neutral on Tamlin but I’ve moved on from hating him, just like Feyre has, she told him that she wishes he finds happiness too.

Sometimes I feel as if I am the only one who has this stance. Maybe I just like them all too much. I should be angrier. Grrrrrrr…….yep, that’s the extent of my anger and salt.

I actually resonate with a lot of what you just said! Yes, the characters do things we don't like and they make us mad at certain points but at the end of the day, they are all friends and family (I don't want Tamlin to be in that particular family but I hope he finds his own path where he's happy). And yes, maybe right now there's a lot of crazy emotions and frustrations being experienced between the characters but that's what happens when they're all trying to find their way in this new world. But at the end of the day, everyone that gets a POV is meant to be the hero of the story (especially Rhys and Feyre though they have this extra weight constantly on their shoulders because they are the ones in charge. As much as you love your friend, sometimes you don't love your boss, right?). You might not love this character or that character "the most" but I think the author wrote this series hoping that you'll still feel fond of everyone by the main ones by the end of it. I definitely didn't love Nesta for a lot of the series but I'm really happy to see the place she has now found herself in. Thinks of the ups and downs Aelin and Co. went through. There was a lot of dysfunction but when we finally said goodbye to the characters, there was a lot of harmony that existed between them all and I really do think that's what we're working toward in ACOTAR. Maybe once the dust settles people will finally be able to stop pitting this sister against that sister or Nesta against Rhys (and so on) and the discord comes from the unknown of how it will all play out. But I think you're on the right track with how you feel about it because if I were an author, I'd hope for the same feedback from a reader.

Dear Diary,

I've decided to start writing a diary here, a place where I can pour out my emotions and thoughts without fear of anyone ever stumbling upon it. 🤫

High school can be such a whirlwind of emotions, and I desperately need an outlet to put my feelings on something 🫠.

You see, there's this guy that I'm head over heels in love with, but he doesn't even know I exist lol

Every day, I see him walking through the halls, he is year older. He's …..HOOOOOOT. 😱😭 But there's one problem - he already has a girlfriend.🙂

It's hard for me to understand why he's with her. She seems more interested in the idea of dating someone as attractive as him, rather than truly being in love with him. She's the popular girl, the one everyone adores. With her blond hair and blue eyes, people say she's the most beautiful girl in school. But honestly, I don't see it. To me, she just looks like an average popular girl from any other school.

It's frustrating to watch them together, knowing that I could offer him so much more. I see the way he gazes at her, hoping to find a connection that seems to be missing. I yearn for him to see me 😭

But for now, I'll keep my feelings hidden, locked away inside the pages of this diary. I'll continue to watch him from afar, silently cheering him on in my heart. Maybe, just maybe, someday he'll notice me and see beyond the facade of popularity.🫠

Anyways, let’s get to the small twist of this all lol {DRUM ROLL} 🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁

You see, for the past two weeks, I have been talking to him on Facebook, but there's a twist to the story - he doesn't know it's me. 😭😂

Let me explain.

I created a fake Facebook account, using a different name and all info, and approached him with a weird shit story lol I told him that I had seen him around and blah blah blah and surprisingly, he went along with it.

The chats have been going on for two weeks now, and we've developed quite a bond. 🫠 We talk about our days (as if I don’t know his day 🥲). It's quite amusing to listen to him sharing his experiences, knowing I already have insight into his life.

I must admit, it's become a bit of a best friend conversation, despite the fact that most of what I've told him is a lie.

However, amidst all these lies, there is one truth that I've stuck to - my name. I may have created a fake persona, but my name remains unchanged. Perhaps it's because deep down, I believe that honesty should be at the core of any relationship, even if it's built on deception.

I find it intriguing how easily we've formed a connection, despite the dishonesty that lurks behind every message. We seem to have a lot in common, and it's effortless to keep our conversations flowing. Yet, there's a part of me that wonders how long I can maintain this charade without it coming crashing down. 😫

I can't help but wonder how he would react if he discovered the truth. Would he be angry, hurt, or understanding? Would he appreciate our connection enough to overlook the lies I've told? It's a risk that I knowingly took, but now it keeps me up at night, wondering about the potential consequences. 😭

As the days pass, the situation with him becomes increasingly complicated. It seems that he is eager to take our online connection to the next level, suggesting meeting up or casually saying hello in person. This puts me in a precarious position, as I am torn between maintaining the facade and coming clean about my true identity.

Whenever he brings up the subject of meeting, I find myself crafting feeble excuses to avoid the situation. 😩 So far, my excuses have been successful in diverting his attention away from the idea. But deep down, I know that this cannot go on forever. Sooner or later, I will have to confront the truth and make a decision about how to proceed.

Maybe I am selfish but let me say one thing - whatever is going on is better than nothing 🥹

Yours sincerely,

A Hopeful Hearty

[lesbianjunimo]

That time you and your demon boyfriend went viral

hi yes hello obey me fandom!! my name is Gabbi and i have never played a single second of the actual game but i have read enough fanon content for the past year to have this idea swimming around in my head and now i am finally letting this accursed thing out of my brain and putting it in yours

also i’m only doing the brothers because any more than that and i’d have an aneurysm probably. oh and shoutout to @obeythebutler and @beels-burger-babe for inspiring me with their works to feel brave enough to write for this fandom

Lucifer:

You and Lucifer go viral on Asmo’s Devilgram story!

You’re in the kitchen helping Asmo with dinner duty and singing along to one of your playlists of human realm music that you like to show him.

Asmo starts filming your cute little dance while you stir the pot on the stove because you are just adorable!

About ten seconds into him filming, Lucifer appears in the doorway with quite the stern look on his face. You know, the one that comes right before a “MAMMOOOOOON” and strikes fear into the heart of all those with functioning eardrums. That one.

He opens his mouth, presumably to tell y’all to shut the fuck up, but then there’s a lull in the music and the eldest can hear your voice ever so slightly above the song’s vocalist and he freezes.

Man stops in his tracks like someone just smacked him in the face with a midair volleyball.

Asmo can be heard stifling a laugh behind his phone.

Lucifer’s face gets so soft and he almost, almost, loosens his metal-rod-through-the-ass posture before you notice him and give a little wave and ask if you and Asmo were being too loud like the considerate darling you are.

Lucifer clears and his throat and says something like, “No, you aren’t. I was just coming to check on how dinner is coming along,” and leaves, after which Asmo immediately presses the post button.

Screenshots of Lucifer’s heart eyes for you go absolutely viral because every demon on Devilgram goes absolutely feral for seeing the eldest demon brother lose his dignified composure. It becomes a meme template. “Get you someone who looks at you like Lucifer looks at MC” and “me at the delivery demon when he shows up with my spicy bat wings” posts become commonplace. (Asmo thinks the memes are totally worth getting strung up with Mammon for laughing at them.)

Mammon:

Much like Lucifer, you and Mammon end up going viral off Asmo’s Devilgram. (Noticing a pattern here?) 

He pulls a silly prank on your asses and honestly I don’t know how you fell for it. But hey, they say “idiots in love” for a reason, so...

You and Asmo are sitting in the common room of the House of Lamentation just chillin. Well, he’s chillin, you’re on the floor studying for an upcoming exam.

The video starts in the middle of a conversation you and the avatar of lust were having.

“No, Asmo,” you say. “Mammon and I don’t use pet names for each other.” Now that’s just a darn lie, and every demon and crow within ten miles of Mammon and you together knows it.

“Really? I find that very hard to believe, MC.~” 

You sigh in response to Asmo’s teasing. “Okay, he has a lot for me but I’m just not much of a pet name person, y’know?” The rest of the exchange goes like this:

“Oh, I totally get it.” *pause* “Hey MC, what do human world bees make again?”

“Honey.”

Cue a sheepish Mammon sticking his head in the doorway at the bluntness of your tone when you answered Asmo.

“Yeah, babe?” he looks like a puppy left on the side of a highway oh my god hUG HIM-

Asmo turns the camera back to his smug ass face and in the background you can be heard tripping on the damn carpet trying to get up and hug your mans. (”MAMMON GET OVER HERE SO I CAN HUG YOU” “W-WHAT? I THOUGHT YA WERE MAD AT ME?!?!?!?!”)

Leviathan:

Streamer Levi? Streamer Levi.

You guys go viral the first time you make an appearance on one of Levi’s weekly (insert cool Devildom streaming service name here) streams. 

It’s completely unintentional. You had been asking him for weeks to play with him on there, but he’s the avatar of envy after all. He doesn’t like sharing his partner, even if it’s with random strangers who have no real access to you.

However, he has his stream on a Thursday instead of a Friday one week, and you come into his room carrying dinner because 1) You didn’t realize he was streaming and 2) No matter what he was doing, the boy needed to eat. It wasn’t unusual for you to bring him dinner, so you had no idea why he was blushing and stammering even more than usual this time in particular. Boy was speaking in beached whale trying to tell you what was wrong.

Then you notice his screen. Oh! “Hi chat!” You wave, setting Levi’s food down on his desk in front of his keyboard. “M-MC!” He full-on whines, slamming a hand over his mouth afterwards when he remembers his viewers could hear that.

Honestly, they’d meme the fuck out of him if it weren’t for the fact that they are FINALLY SEEING HIS HENRY!!! THE MYSTERIOUS MC!!!

Chat is bombarding you with questions while you make Levi eat dinner. And by make him eat dinner, I mean literally feeding this man forkfuls/spoonfuls while he games because you love how flustered he gets when you do that. 

Does it impact his score? Absolutely. Does he care? Not really when you’re pampering him like that.

You start answering chat’s questions about you while he’s chewing so he can’t tell you to stop LMAO-

You’re a natural on stream. The VOD becomes the most popular on Levi’s account in a matter of hours and soon cute highlights compilations of you and him on that stream start making the rounds on Devildom Twitter.

Satan:

There was buildup to Satan going viral, similar to Levi in a way. 

Satan does have a Devilgram, but it’s basically a white woman’s Instagram with added book reviews for variety. Unless you’re a reader his account is pretty boring: candles, books, fireplaces, and cats.

However, after you two started reading together fairly often he began posting pictures of your legs draped over his while you sat together. They’d always be captioned with vague ass pretentious literary criticism. 

This goes on for months, and he gains a lot of (horny) followers after the leg pics start up. He doesn’t really get why but you both joke that it’s because you have some damn nice legs and I mean neither of you are complaining about the new following.

You two go viral when he finally shows your face, entirely by accident.

The post is a video, which is already strange for him and grabs attention. In it, you’re scoffing and reading an excerpt of a book, mocking its understanding of female anatomy.

“I’m quoting here, Satan: ‘her breasts bouncing around like giant pacmen.’ I’M SORRY?? THAT ISN’T HOW BOOBS WORK SIR. WHY ARE MEN ALLOWED TO WRITE?” 

(fun fact that is a very real quote from a very real book I really read last month pls save me)

Originally the camera is focused on your body, with your head out of frame to protect your privacy, but your righteous anger made Satan laugh. Like, a real laugh. The one that makes you and everyone in earshot wonder if he truly was never an angel cause he sure as hell laughs like one but anyway-

When he threw his head back, his DDD angled up just a tad without him noticing, and your face was in view for like .2 seconds. Screenshots of it are making the rounds on Devilgram almost immediately: FINALLY THE LEGS’ OWNER HAS BEEN FOUND.

Satan apologizes profusely but you honestly find it funny and you two opt to just start taking selfies while reading with both of your faces in them from now on. 

Asmodeus:

I’m gonna be real with you: you and Asmo go viral all the time. Pretty much everything Asmo posts can be considered viral because of his social media following and his status as one of the seven avatars of sin.

However, there are some fairly cute highlights to be pointed out among the times you were both featured in a post that blew up.

Your favorite is probably that time Asmo livestreamed on of you guys’ ‘Nail Nites,’ as you call them.

You’re both on the floor, doing your nails and kicking your feet back and forth while talking to chat. A lot of the questions are about your relationship, and there’s a lot of flirting back and forth between the two of you.

A particular clip of the stream does blow the fuck up on Devilgram, though, when someone screen records it and posts it with a bunch of heart emojis edited over it.

“’What colors do you think best describe each other?’ Ooo, that’s a good one, chat!” Asmo claps his hands together excitedly, making sure to be  careful of his nails.

Pretty much everyone expected you to say pink, but you surprised both your boyfriend and your viewers when, after a pensive few moments, you replied with “Hmm...probably yellow or orange.”

“Can I ask why, darling?” Asmo tilts his head in confusion. I mean, yeah, those colors look good on him, but he doesn’t wear them often so he’s wondering about your thought process. 

“Well, in the human world those colors often represent happiness, optimism, and positivity. You’re always the cheerful presence I need in my life when things get hard, so you have the vibe of those colors.”

Asmo proceeds to burst into tears and hug you, messing up both of your nails and prolonging the stream since you both have to start over. But neither of you particularly care. 

Fun fact: Asmo has the clip that demon made of that portion of the stream saved on his DDD and watches it whenever he feels sad.

Beelzebub:

Beel and you probably go the most viral out of everybody. Like this moment is an entire phenomenon across the Devildom internet. 

It’s a video, or well, multiple videos, taken at the end of a Fangol game that Beel’s team had just won. Everyone is cheering and going crazy, yourself included, and you just really wanted to congratulate your boyfriend.

So, like the rational person you are, you elect to climb up onto the railing of the bleachers and wave to get his attention. 

You were absolutely fine up there, and sat all comfortably motioning Beel over to you. He notices, of course, and jogs over, standing right beneath you and looking up. (Back where you were sitting, Mammon is screeching like a hyena in heat and Belphie, who is laying down, has one eye open to glare at him. The youngest knows Beel would never let you hurt yourself; you’re fine.)

A bunch of assorted demons at the game has started filming while you were sat atop the railing since you were rather noticeable. Therefore, there’s a shit ton of different angles of the adorable events that follow:

You slide off the railing, landing right in Beel’s waiting arms bridal style. You’ve got this brilliant smile on your face as you pull his helmet off. None of the DDDs filming can hear it over the crowd noise, but Beel asks you why you just went through all that trouble and you tell him it’s because you wanted to tell him how proud you are.

Soft boy’s chest puffs up and he smiles this big cheesy smile at you reach up to run a hand through his hair. You feel him practically purr at the contact, and with a laugh you pull him in and plant a big ole smooch on him.

The crowd, at least those of them that can see, scream. Everyone is running high on adrenaline and happy emotions; something that cute causes a ruckus!! When you pull away Beel proceeds to put you on his shoulders and you celebrate with him and the rest of his team.

The videos of you two being adorable go completely viral and there are some threads dedicated to stockpiling every single angle taken of the event. Beel is completely oblivious to the attention but you have a lot of them saved on your DDD.

Belphegor:

If you think Belphegor has any sort of social media presence whatsoever then you are sorely mistaken. (Well okay he actually does run some anonymous troll accounts to meme on Lucifer’s posts but that’s neither here nor there-)

Therefore, naturally, you two go viral off of Asmo’s Devilgram. 

Okay so someone in the obey me tag the other say headcanoned that Belphie will go out of his way to nap in ridiculous places and my brain really took that and RAN WITH IT.

So what happens is that Belphie will fall asleep in the fucking weirdest places. I’m talking on top of the fridge, underneath the dinner table, on top of bookshelves...you name it, he has slept there, no matter the effort it takes to get there in the first place. 

And, ever since you two started dating, you would join him. Sometimes it involved putting yourself at risk of great bodily harm, but the little smile he gave when you he saw you fucking scaling the countertop to reach him made it worth it.

So anyway, since Beel adores the both of you to no end, he takes pictures whenever he sees you two napping together, whether or not it is in a crazy place. He sends these to the family group chat because he thinks they’re adorable.

Over a span of weeks to months, Asmo has built up a stock of images of you and Belphie cuddles up in seemingly impossible places. Once he has about ten or so, he posts a compilation of them to his Devilgram with some cheesy ass caption like “The things we do for love <3″.

They become a meme SO QUICKLY. Like UNBELIEVABLY quickly. 

The picture of you and Belphie sleeping on top of a bookshelf, in particular, is a big hit. Memes abound.

“If my girl doesn’t climb up a bookshelf to cuddle my ass, she don’t love me.” “Get yourself a partner who scales bookshelves just to be with your ass.” Etc etc...Belphie doesn’t give a shit but you laugh at a lot of them so he sees that as a good outcome.

[wanderingchocolateeclair]

Does anyone have anything abot actul UA for the two ? ( first year Shinya, 3rd year Best Jenist ) as a friendship or anything, you're telling me that all of

you are about to ignore the 15 years old Edgeshot with his tiny smile and hair thing AND the 18 years old Best Jeanist with his uniform thing and being the one who made handcrafts club ?

I want headcanons

Oh? You want headcanons, I have headcanons~ >:)

I always have headcanons for these two- and I just so happen to have been writing notes for their UA years as you sent this, so here we go~

So, edgeshot and jeanist in their UA years? I got you.

Tsunagu made the handicrafts club, thought that it would be a nice opportunity for aspiring heroes to hone other skills that could be useful for a hero to have - as well as just simply having fun while they can.

He was the club president, yes, but no one seemed to show any interest in the club. Or, when they did, it was simply brushed off as “boring” or a “waste of time”

So he was alone for a while, until a certain lil ninja shows up, looking for the club president saying that he wanted to join. And so a very fun friendship begins~

It starts off awkward, not many words are exchanged between the two, but they both kinda bond over being the “slightly odd, weird fashion sense, most likely quite a loner” type.

After getting to know each other a little more, thats when the fun happens.

Shinya would think ‘this is a respected upperclassman and I’ve heard and seen quite a lot about him, but he seems different to how people say he is. And he has a sense of humour that is so strange but weirdly comforting.’

Tsunagu would think ‘that first year has so much potential. Though most see him as cold and quiet, I think there’s a little glimpse of mayhem and a love for fun in those eyes.’

Tsunagu introduces Shinya to knitting and sewing things together, and Shinya teaches Tsunagu origami!

They make loads of tiny little keychains, plushies, trinkets, and charms together and have fun as they let their collectively odd imaginations run wild and talk about various topics and interests.

Tsunagu even asks Shinya to help him with the club posters, to try and make it more catchier for people to join.

Though, deep down, they were actually happy if it would stay the two of them, because never before had either of them been able to have this much fun with an actual friend before.

When Tsunagu asks Shinya about his ninja theme, Shinya gets worried that he’ll be ridiculed yet again, but! Tsunagu simply shrugs and says that “its good to have a theme to stick to as a hero. You will have a namesake and a style for people to look out for and recognise”

When Tsunagu sheepishly reveals his hero name, Shinya simply laughs and says “it may seem silly now, but when the time comes when that name gets seen as a sign of hope and safety and joy for the people, it’ll become a name that means so much more.”

but.

thats enough of that

we need the silly Shenanigans-

You’re gonna look at these two idiots and tell me that they didn’t get up to trouble? No no.

The two members of the handicraft club, who wind up being popular around school for simply the Strange Shit that they get into.

There’s the time they ran out of supplies, causing them to sneak into the school’s supply closet and then proceed to get stuck in there- only for a faculty member to find them attempting to knit their way out.

Or the time where they got locked in school after dark, because they were busy discussing “latest weird fashion trends of the year” and ranking them- and didn’t notice the time.

This led to them taking the time to explore the school and being found in the morning by one of the teachers. They got in trouble. Again.

Or the multiple times where the handicrafts club turned into various sparring sessions.

Or recovery girl being absolutely sick of the two of them, for the amount of times they showed up, needing medical assistance because of something stupid they did. “It’s only a handicraft club???” “Arts and crafts can be very intense.”

Or maybe even the time that Tsunagu was so determined to make it to the club, that he ran from his internship, scaled the fucking walls and climbed through the classroom window, only to notice he was in the wrong room, and then proceed to jump out of the window, swing like fucking spider-man into the club room window, crash into Shinya and end up giving himself a nosebleed bc the teacher opened the door and he slammed his face into it.

(He’s an idiot)

cue these types of conversations with teachers:

“Hakamata, can you tell me why the desks are upside down?” “..we were....testing how strong the glue was....?” “....get them down.”

“Can you two tell me why there are paper cranes everywhere?” “...we had lots of spare paper?” “...”

“Kamihara, I thought this was a handicraft club- why is Hakamata on fire?” “He’s testing fireproof fabrics for his hero costume!” “oh my god, just put him out-” 

And so on so forth.

That is all I have in me to write down as of now, but I hope these hcs serve you well dear anon.

I have plenty of hcs for these two in UA relating to my personal backstory hcs for them too, so if anyone ever wants to know those I’m happy to write them out :)

S.Coups (최승철):

----------------

“I Love You Too Much”

synopsis: You and your group have to work on a Collab stage with SEVENTEEN again, which is the group your ex-boyfriend, Seungcheol is a part of. You both still love each other.

genre: angst, fluff, idol!au

characters: seungcheol x idol!reader (with mentions of other members)

word count: around 2.15k (I think)

a/n: happy birthday to our leader! S.COUPS!! I can't believe it won't be long until he and Jeonghan would have to enlist in the military... anyway, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO CHOI SEUNGCHEOL!!! I love him so much, he's inspiring, beautiful, and perfect in all kinds of ways! + Congrats to everyone who gets to see Caratland 2021, I'm sad I can't see it but maybe I'll find a reupload somewhere...

----------------

You sat in the corner of the practice room, beside your group members, staring at the opposite side where your ex-boyfriend, Seungcheol sat.

It had been about half a year since you two broke up and though your days had continued to pass by, without him, you felt the emptiness in your heart, soul, and body. You weren't able to get over him and every few nights, you would miss him so much that you would have to torture yourself again by looking at your past videos and pictures with him that you couldn't bring the courage to delete.

You were just getting over him but now, that would be nearly impossible. Just being in the same room with him was making tears sting your eyes. How were you supposed to practice repeatedly for a month with him and proceed to perform a special stage with him?

As far as your professionalism could go, you knew that you wouldn't be able to do it. The love was still there, deep in your heart, and the lingering feelings were undeniable. You still loved him even after the breakup.

“It's okay,” Your groupmate said. “I'm sure it'll be fine.”

You shook your head and turned to her, holding back your tears. “How will it be fine?”

You brought your knees to your chest and buried your head to prevent yourself from crying out loud. “They hate me. It's not only Seungcheol who hates me, the members of SEVENTEEN do too. It's because I hurt him.”

“But you're hurt too,” your groupmate continued, patting your shoulder. “I know how much pain you have to deal with. I was there, on every night that you cried your eyes out missing him. Some days, you would even cry because something reminded you of him.”

You couldn't cry now. You couldn't.

Seungcheol didn't even know how hurt you were.

-

“What did you want to talk about?” Seungcheol asked, unaware of the words you were going to spit out of your mouth.

You couldn't be with Seungcheol anymore. Both of you were idols and of course, being idols and dating could be scandalous in the industry.

You were only a small group. Your company wasn't big and all you had to go off on was the talent your group held. You didn't even know that such a small, unknown group like yours could reach a place next to large groups like his.

He didn't even consider your status. He didn't even consider the fact that your group was small and just starting to grow. Seungcheol fell for you the second that he saw you perform. The song you performed with your group was written by you too.

He came up to you so shyly and asked for a talk that would lead to flirting, becoming friends, going on on dates, until eventually, you two began dating. You were falling in love with him as each day passed.

Your group was also gaining immense popularity. Your once partially free schedules were getting filled with performances, interviews, variety shows, photoshoots, along with creating music on the side and practicing for upcoming comebacks. You two saw each other less and less but still, your love for each other continued to burn.

Until now.

At the peak of your career, you had to make a choice, and you had decided to be selfish. Anything could take the career you and your group worked so hard on. All your groupmates ever wanted was to be recognized for their talent and loved by the public, allowing your small company to expand and give all of you better treatment. If the public found out about your relationship, your group could become known as nothing more than a group whose member used their popularity to snatch another idol. The public could be scary and you were intimidated by it.

The silence made Seungcheol afraid.

“I want to break up with you,” You said, looking at him in the eyes. “It's not because I've fallen out of love with you or anything, I just want to.”

In the middle of the parking lot, Seungcheol let out a chuckle, refusing to believe it. “Come on, don't joke like that.”

You didn't want it to be a farewell that would leave both ends feeling angry. “I'm not, I am being very serious.”

“Why?” Seungcheol asked. His voice had suddenly lost all of its emotion.

His voice was like a dagger, digging into your heart. You stared down at the ground and had to take a deep breath before you could continue. “I don't want to risk my career.”

Seungcheol stared at you as if needing a more definite answer.

You let out a small sigh. “I'm growing bigger. My dream is finally coming true. I don't want to risk it all collapsing just because I love you, okay? Can you understand that for me?”

“Was I just a stepping stone?”

“What? Of course not!” You replied. You were hoping that he'd accept your request to break up calmly but of course, he had to be angry. You couldn't blame him. “I want us to stay friends.”

“Friends... You're choosing your career over me? I've been with you since the beginning of your career. I've done everything for you because I love you,” Seungcheol was raising his voice slightly. He felt betrayed. “I'm not asking for much, love isn't about giving and taking. I supported you because I knew you could do it and by that, I mean bringing yourself and your members to the top. I spent long nights helping you write lyrics when I could have gotten sleep because I wanted to help you. I reassured you that those hate comments you receive are nothing because I truly feel like they're a load of bull. I did all that for you because of a simple reason, I want you to stay beside me, I love you, and I care for you. I cherish you.”

“I love you just as much-”

As you reached your hand out to him, he took a step back, avoiding your touch.

“Whether it's staying friends or not, as long as we're around each other, I can't change. I won't suddenly act as if we stopped loving. I can't do that,” Seungcheol ran his finger through his hair and you couldn't believe it. The love of your life slipped out of your hands and it was all your fault. You should have known. “I can't. If you're choosing your career over me, how can I believe that you love me?”

You stood still, watching as Seungcheol drove away.

You two never talked again.

Seungcheol wasn't his usual self. He was always distracted but would pretend like everything was fine. The members tried to comfort him but he'd always lie that everything was fine.

Until one day, he couldn't lie anymore. He cried to them and told them how much it hurt to have you leave him. He regretted his response to you because now, he couldn't even see you again.

-

“Hey Jeonghan, can you-” You walked up to Jeonghan who was on his phone at the top of the stairs, wanting to know if he could help you carry prop boxes. However, he cut you off before you could even finish. “Sorry, I have to go somewhere. See you around.”

You watched as he left. He probably hated you too. Seungkwan, Chan, Jihoon, and others tried to seem kind about it but you knew that inside, they didn't want to engage with you as well. They would only forgive you when you made their leader happy again.

You sighed and walked down the stairs to where you left the boxes only to see someone else lifting them. You smiled and hurriedly went down the stairs to greet them.

“Thank you-”

Just then, you saw their face as they made their way up the steps.

It was Seungcheol.

You paused as he brushed past you without a word, carrying the boxes with both of his hands. You wanted to help but you found yourself mute and frozen.

It couldn't be this way forever. You knew that. Maybe this small act of kindness meant something bigger. Your heart was thumping out of your chest and you didn't know what to do.

-

Seungcheol reached the practice room and set the boxes down. He saw the way the members treated you and though it was probably a part of their stupid plan to try and get you guys back together, he didn't want you to feel guilty over the breakup. He knew it was partially his fault too and though he was hurt by you, he couldn't stand seeing you hurt by his member's words.

His members and your members were practicing but Seungcheol could see the tension both groups had.

Seungcheol let out a soft sigh and left the practice room, his next destination being outside for fresh air. However, the moment he stepped out of the room, he was met with you. You were holding two cans of soda from the vending machine in your hands that you knew he liked.

Your eyes met and with a nervous heart, you said, “Can we talk for a bit?”

Seungcheol stared at you, your eyes captivating him. He could almost feel how he felt when he first fell for you. Like he was possessed, Seungcheol nodded.

-

Both of you two were sitting on green grass in the middle of a park, beside a large tree. The walk to the spot was quiet and you two decided to settle down in a spot with barely any words being spoken. He just followed you as you guided him to the big old tree where you two shared your first kiss.

“How are you?” You asked. Seungcheol was sitting next to you but not too close and not too far away.

He popped open his can of soda.

“Fine, you?” He took a small sip.

“I guess I'm okay too.”

“Without me?”

You stared ahead, feeling your heart race. Your hands were so close to each other that you just wanted to take his hand into your and hold it as you two did in the past. So, you placed your pinky on top of his while replying, “Not really.”

You didn't expect that he would reply. It would have been strange if you two made up so quickly after half a year of being apart and feeling nothing but longing, sadness, resentment, guilt, and regret.

Slowly, Seungcheol turned his head to you and replied, “Same.”

But maybe, just a bit of honesty could make it work.

“You know, I cried a lot,” Seungcheol said, turning his entire body to face you. “I was upset about what you said but I regretted it because I couldn't be around you.”

You didn't even get to reply, all you were able to do was turn your body to face him too, the tip of your feet now against his shoes.

“I was cowardly, right?”

You let out a soft sigh, staring into his eyes. “Why don't we try again?”

You firmly scooted closer to him. You always imagined that if you ever brought up a second chance, you would be bawling, but for some reason, you smiled softly. “Can we?”

Seungcheol was waiting for this his whole life.

Spending half a year without you was like hell.

Spending half a year without him only left you suffering.

“I think I value you more than fame.”

“What about your members? The reason we broke up was that you didn't want the potential scandal affecting them, right?”

“One way or another it'll affect them,” You replied. “I'll just have to take responsibility for it. I have to be selfish one way or another.”

Seungcheol smiled.

“Plus, I'm sure they'll understand. They've been there for me ever since I broke up with you.”

Seungcheol cupped your face with his hands, leaning in close to your face.

“About that second chance,” Seungcheol began. “When I kiss you, would that confirm it?”

You stared into his beautiful eyes, looking closely into the eyes of the man you missed so dearly. You brought your hands to caress his arm and slowly, you nodded, feeling tears of joy fill your eyes.

He leaned in slowly and planted a soft kiss on your lips, his hands brushing your cheeks.

Both of you knew that it would be too hard to live without each other. Both of you also knew that being together brought more comfort, happiness, and reassurance in your lives. Being apart was torture but together is like cloud 9.

It was obvious.

You loved each other too much.

— when he does the ‘lip bite’

ೃ chars: izuku midoriya, katsuki bakugo, shoto todoroki, and denki kaminari x gn! reader

ೃ  tags: headcanons, fluff and humor

ೃ  warnings: none!

ೃ  my nav  →  my mha writing masterlist  → my katsuki bakugo x reader smau

ೃ  please do reblog if you enjoyed!! it really helps writers and content creators on tumblr!  

ೃ  if you want to be a part of my mha taglist. send me an ask!  ♡

ೃ heavily based on a very chaotic convo i had with @noodles-shoto 🥺💓 shoto doing the lip bite will forever live in mine and zay's minds rent free. 😌🖐️

KATSUKI BAKUGO: there are days when katsuki is a bit more gullible than usual. dare i say, he radiates himbo vibes during certain times of the month. and so, when kaminari jokingly told him that the “lip bite” challenge (in where boyfriends around the world supposedly have a tournament on how much their significant others would swoon over them when they do the lip bite) was the talk of the town, bakugo could not back down without a fight. you bet katsuki came marching up to you in slow strides, his eyes fierce and determined, calling out for your name. “oi (Y/N).” you turn to his attention and lock eyes . his stare is intense, his lips are pursed, and oh. He does it. He does the lip bite.

 There is silence in the air for a few seconds before you burst out into laughter, patting your poor boyfriend in the back. “SHHSHSUHSUSH katsuki, babe, please don’t do that again.” “PHAH! I don’t even care about the fucking challenge anymore! Did i make you swoon or what!?” “yes. yes you did.”

TODOROKI SHOTO: your man can just about pull off anything and he’d still look painstakingly handsome while doing so. This particular situation became exhibit a of as to why you came to that conclusion. when dekusquad dared him to send you a selfie of him doing the infamous lip bite, he immediately agreed and was determined to do what he was told. but, not before he had to go through an terrible wikihow article on how to make the “face” and how to pull it off flawlessly. “it’s missing that extra oomph.” he whispered to himself, scrolling through all these cute filters from an app called snow. several hours have passed before he was finally satisfied with what his lip bite selfie looked like. taking a deep breath and shutting his eyes as he hits send.

His text surprised you as he wasn’t one to send one so out of the blue. you swiped up to open it. dropping your phone in befuddlement because of how handsome shoto looked. It was a selfie of him with his hand on his chin, his upper lip biting the lower tenderly, and his eyes are squinting seductively. you send him a heart eyes meme and proceed to squeal onto your pillow.

what was exhibit b of ‘shoto todoroki looking effortlessly handsome while doing the most obscure and rando things out there for the memes”? Only time will tell.

IZUKU MIDORIYA: you’ve been sending your favorite memes non-stop to the seaweed-haired cutie. one of those being the lipbite emoji that was way funnier to you than it should be. It became one of your favorite out of context memes in recent time and izuku just had to find a way to resolve your “meme of the month” obsession. And so, during lunch time, he catches your attention by being too cute and wholesome. patting your hand and tracing circles around your fingers so that you can divert your attention to him. 

“so (y/n)... about that meme you keep on sending me.” “what about it?” “well…” his gaze is awkward but loving as izuku’s mouth forms into a pout, his teeth partly showing. no inclination at all of what he was trying to do, but you quickly pick up and get the idea. “Izu-kun… are you trying to do the lip bite meme?” “y-yes! did i do it wrong?” god why did he have to be this cute? You want to see him attempt to make a cute face like this again but how can you do that without discouraging him? “nope! In fact, i think we should create another meme! One that’s exclusive to class 1-A! How about izu-kun’s version of the lip bite!?”

DENKI KAMINARI: denki was the perpetrator of this all. the evil mastermind. The man behind everything. it was he, the all powerful and mighty chargebolt who made this wonderfully stupid meme become so popular in class. everyone has attempted to do it at the behest of kaminari and his wicked charm of asking them to “do it for the memes”. The only one he hasn’t asked yet was you. his favorite person in the entire world.

 instead of asking you to do it for him, he wants to do it to you. Maybe he can make you feel giddy or maybe he can make you blush because of how unintentionally handsome and sexy he looked whilst doing the lip bite. however, he doesn’t know how to react and what to feel if he sees that you were unimpressed by his cute little joke.

“(y/n)! (y/n)! He approaches your desk, a glimmer present in his eyes. “What’s up kami-kun?” He clears his throat and tries to lower his eyelashes seductively, glancing at you to try and get a reaction. A desirable reaction. “SoOooo how would you rate my lip bite!?” “wait… that was your version of the lip bite?” “yeah! yeah!” “a 1000/10. Now, please stop spreading the meme and asking everyone else to do it, kami-kun.”

Fluffy alphabet (A, B, C, E, I, J, K, L, N, R, U, and W) Floch edition

Request : Could I please get fluff alphabet (season 4) Floch Forster A, B, C, E, I, J, K, L, N, R, U, and W with fem s/o please?

Author note : I’m sorry for taking so long hope you’ll enjoy this ♡

Warning : Fluffy / Spoiler from season 3 and 4 of Snk

Masterlist

A ctivities - What do they like to do with their s/o? How do they spend their free time with them?

Before the Shinganshima’s event, he used to take you on a date around the city. He took advantage of his situation in the army and the fact that the survey corps were popular to go to the city. Not only he could show you off but can also act all cocky telling you story about his adventure outside the wall. He talked a lot about himself but most of the time you didn’t mind cause you were quite curious about his life as a soldier and what he saw outside the wall since you never left your « comfort » if we can say that. Now, after the Shinganshima he decided to become a Yeagarist and let’s be honest after that, much to his dismay, he doesn’t have much free time. Which mean that everytime you two could have some quality times, he spends it with you in the comfort of your house, letting you pamper him because he craves your affection. So yeah you have spent a lot of time on your house chilling around. He is very ashamed of that because he wants the best for you. He kept whispering to himself that everything is for your safety and that after reaching his goal he’ll make it up for you.

B eauty - What do they admire about their s/o? What do they think is beautiful about them?

Honestly ? The way you can keep up with his shit. Floch isn’t an idiot and he knows that he can be a bother, a real dick sometimes, and the way you never were angry at him each time he was being en ass never felt to amaze him. Your calm and kind nature was something he really loves about you, the fact that he doesn’t have to be ashamed for who he is and that he can be natural around because you’ll find a way to make things right so Floch doesn’t end up having troubles. You’re his light, his arch. Now if we’re talking about physical aspect he is into your legs, there is something sexy and cute about it. The flesh, how soft it is, how they feel around his hand or against his cheeks. He is one of those leg’s simp you know ? Every aspect of your legs is attractive to him no matters if you are self-conscious about something, he loves them, deeply and won’t be afraid to put some sense into you each time you’ll say something bad about them. I’m not kidding you’ll be scolded because « your legs can hear you and they’ll feel sad » then proceeds to kiss them to reassure it that they are beautiful.

C omfort - How would they help their s/o when they feel down/have a panic attack etc.?

I won’t lie he’s not in the top 3 of the best to deal with a panic attack or anything that involve him taking care of you. People might think it’s because he is being selfish as usual and wants all the attention to himself (well he kinda wants it but that’s not the real reason). To be honest he isn’t good in dealing is own insecurity, which could be seen with the way he is acting like a dick. He is not a natural dick, he is always doing it to reassure himself you know ? Like you can’t hurt me if I hurt you first. So yeah since he isn’t capable of controlling his own feelings, he is going to have a hard time dealing with your negative thought. He might even start panicking if he saw to get a huge crisis. After talking with some of his superior and his comrades from the survey corps he’ll learn one or two tricks to help you getting good and finding your breath. After some times, Floch will learn how to calm you whenever you’ll feel the need, he will also become a good reader meaning he’ll know each time you’re not feeling good. Depend on what you need to feel happy, he won’t hesitate to talk shit about his companion if it makes you laugh. It’ll take a long time but Floch would work harder to help you because he cares about you.

E qual - Are they the dominant one in the relationship, or rather passive?

Mostly dominant, Floch isn’t the one to talk about his feelings or the one to follow something. I’m not saying that he got trust issues but he went through a lot and his way to cope with everything : his trauma, his fear, his nightmares, his dark thought are to be in control. He needs to be one in charge all the time. It gave him the (fake) sensation of being strong. Now he is not a dictator, if something is bothering you just tell him, I might add that he expects you to say whenever something is bothering you because he can be oblivious. In bed he might be inclined to be a switch and let you have your way with him, when it came to a relationship he kinda needs to feel like he leads, again you don’t really feel like you’re being leaded by someone it’s just the way he talks or his posture that might betray the fact that he is the dominant one. These feelings got stronger after he joined the yeagarist, since he was « close » to Eren most of them believe that he was in charge of everything with Eren so it didn’t help his need of being the leader.

I nspiration - Did their s/o change them somehow, or the other way around? Like trying out new things or helped them overcome personal problems?

After a couple of weeks of a relationship, most of people noticed that Floch was more inclined to talk « gently » with them or at least act like he cares about their opinion. People who were close to him also underline that he tends to not be all cocky and instead was getting more and more serious. As if your relationship helped him to grow up as a man you know ? He was more aware of his environment, of his companion, his surrounding. If Erwin gives him the goal of being a good leader, you on the other around help him to be a better human in the sense that he’ll stop being mean. Well let’s be honest. It would be a hard work cause it became a part of his personality but you’re here now. As mentioned earlier, you’re kinda a light for him even more you’re like his arch, his moral guide, your job as his significant other is to tell him when he went beyond the boundaries of someone nonetheless since his attitude is something deeply written in his personality it’s a work for life.

J ealousy - Do they get jealous easily? How do they deal with it?

I’d like to say that he is not jealous at all but let’s be honest he is. Now it’s not something bad where he’ll send someone to follow you and beat up each people that share the same breath as you. But, he is kinda possessive around you and even thought he is trusting you. He can’t help but feels some dark instinct each time someone is trying to get your attention. You were supposed to be attentive to him and only him, why would you give your attention to some deep shit ? He just loves you so much you know ? Also, he is kinda aware that people talked about his back like they’re underlined the fact that you are so nice, so beautiful like you’re way out of his league. They didn’t understand what got you around Floch, to them he wasn’t that interesting and was a huge dick they pity you which bothered him. As I said before, Floch knows that he is being a dick a lot of times and well he became a little bit (a lot) insecure about your relationship and can’t help but be afraid that one day you’ll wake up and leave him for someone better than him. Someone that would provide you the love you deserve because yeah he strongly believed that he is the selfish one in the relationship which is pretty true but he is not bad for you, and has his way to show you that he loves you. You know him, and were aware that if you’re feeling like he is being an ass to you, you can tell him. So yeah maybe he’ll be clingier when you’ll face someone that Floch believe is better than him, maybe he’ll kiss you in front of them to remind them that you belong to him, maybe he’ll be mean to them but he does that because he loves you.

K iss - Are they a good kisser? What was the first kiss like?

He is the part of those one who kiss you like it would be their last time. Maybe it’s because he is a part of the survey corps, maybe it’s because of his nightmares or his trauma but each time Floch kiss you it’s passionate, he kisses you deeply holds both of your cheeks or put a hand on your hair the other on your waist to keep you firmly against you. He might even push you against a wall so his body could be full against you, yeah he does it everytime and each time it felt like it would be your last kiss that you’ll share together. Even though he always came back to you, he can’t help but always hold you close as if you might disappear if he doesn’t do it. He is into French kiss even during your first kiss exchange he hasn’t hesitated and put his tongue against yours to taste you because he craves for it, he craves for you. You’re like a drug to him he is addicted to you.

Your first kiss didn’t feel like one, let me explain. You were dating for two weeks and much to your surprise each time you two went on a date he never tried to kiss you even thought it was written on his face that he wanted to do it. But he didn’t because he felt like you should give him the go-ahead, so he waited again and again before you finally gave him the sign he was waiting for. As he was walking you home feeling that today again you wouldn’t exchange a kiss with him except the sweet peck on his cheeks, he was about to leave you when he felt your hand around his wrist holding it. Floch didn’t much, he turned back and without a blink of an eye his lips crashed on yours. His hands naturally found their place on your neck and waist as he was deepened the kiss. It felt as if you two used to be lover because it felt natural and so good to you.

L ove Confession - How would they confess to their s/o?

I wish that he was a little bit more romantic but he doesn’t so as everything he does, it’s a bit blunt. Like when he met you, instantaneous he felt like attracted to you. So when he felt like everything went smoothly between you two (you’re not trying to yell at him punch his face for being mean for no reason), he asked you to go out with him. It was a date but he didn’t present it like this just in case you saw him as a friend and not a potential lover. Those dates who weren’t a date last a couple of weeks actually, each time Floch was trying something. First he brushes his hands against yours to see if you wouldn’t flinch but seeing that you moved your hands against his give him the ego boost he needed. Then, he started to put a hand on your lower back each time you would enter a shop or anything, next Floch will wrap his arm around your waist. Basically two months later you were acting like a couple without actually saying anything, whenever you got the occasion you brought him foods for his job, you would lean against him as he was putting his arm around you. Everyone was now teasing him because he didn’t have the gut to actually confess to you even though you were acting like his damn significant other.

So one night when you two were watching the stars sharing foods you brought earlier, he just holds your hands like he used to but this time, he also put his hand on your chin to move your face so you would face him. And he will just say it looking at you straight in these eyes while you were still eating your cake. You shouldn’t chuckle but you did because obviously he couldn’t wait for you to actually swallow your cake. He thought that everything was over because you were taking time but then you give him a kiss whispering to him that you felt the same so everything went fine.

N icknames - What do they call their s/o?

Most of the time he called you heaven because you’re like heaven for him, he doesn’t call you like that just to tease you it’s also a way of reminding you that you’re helping him so much growing as a man, you’re like his shelter now that he got you by his side he can’t picture a life without you. He tends to call you sweetie or cutie just because your cheeks got warmer and you became flustered.

There’s a particular nickname that he used only when he had to leave for a long mission, those one were he wasn’t sure to be back. During times like those, he called my love he sounds cliché I know but he called you like this each time he got the kiss of your life, both of his would hold your face as he looked at you tenderly. He will remind you that he loves you and will do everything to be back to you because he can’t live without you.

R omance - How romantic are they? What would they do to make their s/o happy? Cliché or rather creative?

He isn’t the romantic one but he isn’t the worst you know ? He is trying okay. It’s just each time he tries something to act romanticly he had to spoil it by being cocky, teasing you until you’re a mess. And when he is trying his best to bring you something, most of the time he forgot it. I can’t even count how many flowers he got spoiled because he forgot to bring it to you. But when it’s really important like your birthday, Floch will work hard to not only bring you as much as gifts as his wallet can but also to provide you the loveliest party as possible (or date if you want it to be more private). I’ll give him 6/10 like he is not the worst but he needs to work a lot on his romantic gesture.

That’s why when he wants something to be smooth, he asked everyone to give him ideas anything that might help him to please you. He mostly asks Armin because he is a genius and always seemed to think about great idea for a date, he kinda became his ally even though he’s still bitter against him ( you know about Erwin’s case).

U nderstanding - How good do they know their partner? Are they empathetic?

As mentioned earlier, it’ll take him time to understand you, for being able to read your properly. It’s not like he isn’t empathetic but he already struggled with his own insecurity, fear and trauma so obviously he is not the best to deal with emotion, feelings being down and everything. But if Floch feels like it’s burdening you in any way, he’ll work with you cause he can’t do it on his own. He’ll always ask you to tell him when something is wrong, to at least give him a sign when you feel like something isn’t good when you feel sad, when you are depressed. He got a list of each sign you decided to use to help him getting the signal that he has to be on your side.

After a couple of panic attack/emotional crisis, Floch would become one of the best to read you and prevent any form of bad thought. Insecurity ? Gone even though he is calling you a dumbs for thinking that you are not enough you have to admit that it’s working. Fear ? He’ll kill anyone that might put a finger on you. So I’m going to give him a 7/10 he is a good but he needs help coming from you to help you properly.

W ild Card - A random Fluff Headcanon.

I shouldn’t say it because it was supposed to be a secret, but he stole you cloth. Not to wear it but he is stealing everything that got your scent each time he left for a mission, because he wants to have your smell/warmth with him whenever he is far away from you. It’s silly, it’s cliché and people would make fun of him if they’ll learn about it, but he can’t sleep properly for example if doesn’t have your shirt around him. He might use your t-shirt as a teddy to hold it close to him you know ? He is pretending that you are here with him and that everything is fine. He’ll mostly take your shirt/t-shirt because it’s small and convenient for him to put on his bag. He also got on his wallet a bunch of things that is supposed to remind him of you, like your favorite flower etc. What can I say ? He is a simp.
