clandestine meetings

ship: corporate affairs words: 1517 a/n: behold, a TOMJA FIC!! AT LAST!! this is s1 ep8 in the tomja timeline as i previously said in my little teaser post.... i hope y'all like it, because it's one of my fave things i've written in a LONG time >:3333

--

She stands out to Tom from the crowd, standing with a group of people he doesn’t know. Her silhouette is distinct, her disposition imminent, her signature dark pantsuit immediately recognisable. He stalks closer, taking his time just in case it’s not her, but the closer he gets, the clearer she becomes to him in the dim flickering lights.

“Sonja..?”

Visibly startled, she turns around. Her usually sleek hair is curled, and controlled yet haphazard strands of dusty golden hair frame her face. The small gemstones hanging from her earrings move and dangle when she tilts her head. Her confusion softens in a single glance. 

“Tom!” She looks so pleasantly surprised to see him, blinking at him like she doesn’t quite believe he’s there. It elicits a flutter beneath his sternum that he does his best to ignore. “What are you doing here?”

“I was going to ask you that!” 

She gives him a look but then indulges him, and his focus shifts to the people that he’d already forgotten about. They’ve all fallen quiet, and seem to eye him either with suspicion or curiosity. 

“A friend knew a friend, you know how it goes.” She turns to her acquaintances without introducing him, showing no remorse or sorrow for having to leave the conversation. “I’ll catch you guys later, alright?”

She doesn’t wait for a response, and gestures Tom to follow. They make their way across the room to an unpopulated corner. The night has taken a turn he wasn’t expecting, so everything feels a bit hazy and unreal, like a dream. At the same time it feels exactly like how things were always meant to go; meeting her here now seems inevitable. 

A waiter passes by, and she switches her empty champagne flute for a new one. He gets one as well, and tries not to get distracted by the way she smiles at the waiter as a silent show of gratitude. Her fingers drum against the glass, at first without aim, but then the song changes and she finds its rhythm quickly. 

Something about her sharp attunement to the world around her has always made him feel more grounded in her company. This moment is no different; his surroundings sharpen, she becomes the focal point. Or maybe he’s just sobering up. Bad time for that.

“Honestly, you saved me there. Don’t know how much longer I could’ve lasted.”

“Oh, I’m just happy to help. But they might now think I’m like… your potential hookup,” he says, half-serious, sparing a look to the group to see that it’s disbanded. As if she was the glue holding it together.

“I mean, they wouldn’t be far off,” she says with a playful nudge of her shoulder against his arm – that makes his suspiciously situational heart palpitations return – and takes a sip, observing a stranger pass by before speaking again. “I thought I saw Roman here earlier." 

“He's the one that invited us, actually. The Roys boys are all here, even Connor. Greg’s also somewhere, I think he’s trying to babysit Kendall…?”

Sonja’s eyes widen and then she laughs, half embarrassment, half epicaricacy – her trademark blend of emotions. “Okay, we have to find them at some point. I need to witness that.”

They conversate with the most casual abandon, amicable acquaintances to outsiders, perhaps close friends to some. She laughs at something he says, more than once; a small thing he takes great pride in. Occasionally she learns closer to speak, just so nobody else hears what she’s saying. In those moments he can observe her up close, catch the glare of the light in her glasses, smell the sharp floral notes of her perfume that still lingers.

Their connection hangs heavy, invisible yet tangible. A tether curling between them. She could easily tug on it, bring him towards her. 

After their previous night out, he’s kept his distance. Because once he became aware of his gnawing want, with it came the dread. It’s not smart; wanting more from her feels like a death sentence when he’s gotten so far and still has work to do. He can’t throw everything away just because of her – his whole life would inevitably change into something completely different if he did what he stupidly longs for. And yet… This is the most fun he’s had in weeks. Just being with her, enjoying her company, her honest and easygoing demeanor. Going home for the night looms in the not-so-distant future, something he tries his hardest not to think about. 

He knows hope is the vilest thing to have. He despises himself for feeling it in her presence; the hope that things could be different.

She’s gotten close again, gossiping about someone that just walked in, a person she apparently knows, but honestly, he’s not listening right now. Because this time she’s set her hand on his shoulder, and when she’s done talking and she should offset their closeness with appropriate distance… She clings on. Runs her thumb along the shoulder line of his suit, just once, before slowly sliding her hand down his arm. Not the first touch between them, but definitely the most unnecessary one. 

His eyes meet hers, ochre-flecked green and deceptively demure. He is struck by the way she studies him, curious but inscrutable. He tries to imagine what she’s seeing. Maybe something he doesn’t. Or are they looking at the same thing? 

“So… What do you think?”

He blinks at her, chastising himself for getting caught. “Think about what?”

“I had a whole monologue going on just now and you didn’t listen any of it?” she gripes, eyes sharp and voice stern, but her heart isn’t in it. “I’m trying to keep up a conversation here. You’re making it very difficult.”

Only because you’re making things difficult, he thinks; she’s still touching him. But he hasn’t moved away either. 

”Sorry. I’m just surprised you’re spending your time talking to me instead of… Literally anyone else,” he says, partly because it’s all he could come up with, partly because it’s exactly what he’s been wondering. It's definitely way too honest, and embarrassment follows immediately.

”Why wouldn’t I? Tom, you’re the only person I wanna be talking to right now. I was so painfully bored before you showed up.” 

Something on her face shifts, she furrows her brow and blinks sharply – a flash of clarity, a realization – but it’s gone before he can process it fully. 

”Which is wild to say when…” she continues, gestures around. 

He chuckles, trying his hardest to keep it together. The anticipation crawls up his spine in a languid shiver. He can’t look at her in the eyes. “It is. But we all have our preferences.”

“What I mean to say is… I just like spending time with you, alright? You’re really great company. I’m glad we bumped into each other tonight.”

If everything felt unreal before, he’s sure he’s in a fever dream right now. Her words have taken him off guard, and he feels dizzy and flushed in a way that’s not just from the alcohol in his system. Painfully aware of himself, he feels like something bright and loud and far too conspicuous, and he thinks that everyone can tell – especially her. 

“The feeling is mutual,” he manages to respond. But it seems to be enough for her, and she gives him a small smile. 

That’s when he sees himself in a different reality, like getting a glimpse through a blurry window; viewing the distorted yet clear reflection in a puddle. A reality where he lets himself have hope, have the courage to make that choice. 

He’d be leaning closer just like she did, with the very same intention to touch. But this time it’d include a quiet question, one she’d reply to by pressing her mouth on his. He’d taste the lingering champagne, she’d pull him closer by his collar. He’d finally get to touch her like he’s wanted to. Making good use of the other guests, they’d blend into the crowd of ridiculous horny people pretending to be sophisticated. Eventually he’d take her hand, eager to see where she’d lead him so that they could–

The thought shatters, leaving only the truth in front of him. Distance, a line he shouldn’t cross, cannot cross – though he desperately wants to. And that knowledge is devouring him from the inside out. 

She nods as if he’s said something, none the wiser to what’s just played out in his head. Finally letting go of him, she takes a step back. The absence of her touch makes him recoil.

“C'mon, let's go find Greg,” she says conspiratorially before glancing around, already seeking out the aforementioned man much to Tom’s disdain. “I think we could use a bit of entertainment.”

He can take his frustration out on Greg. That always makes him feel better, and even more so whenever she finds it amusing as well. 

”Lead the way,” he says, ready to follow her.

He might be stuck, he might want things that are impossible. But at least she wants him around – it’ll have to be enough.

tagging @isabelinlove because i've promised her to post a tomja fic for like. the longest time...😝

i just read yandere yeosang x tall reader and its my fave thing ever.

First of all "Even more so when you notice Hongjoong staring at you with a mildly pointed look in your direction. If you didn’t know any better, you’d swear that he’s almost daring you to say that it’s anyone else but him." The fact that hongjoong is my bias got me feeling like he was judging me for enjoying this so much hehehe.

All the interaction with oc on the plane was so cute, they were like weasels trying to see reader!

Yunho and joong were so soft the whole time 🥺 even when they were outing jongho

Speaking of jongho, he was bias wrecking me sooo bad im like.....i see u yandere yeosang..but fanboy jongho is just 😵‍💫❤️‍🔥 when he threw his phone and was peeking to see if reader was watching him i was laughing the whole time

Also mingi and rengoku hair >>>>

I looooove this slow burn. Also is that foreshadowing??? 👀 when reader said the best plot twists are ones you can see coming, that can so be applied to yeosang: from the stares, to not even watching JJK but watching it with her, to cutting reader off whenever she was about to talk to another member, the kinds of questions he was asking, pretending to be asleep, not giving up his seat, peeking when she was writing, lowkey twisting her words that one instance when he called himself a stranger, getting angry when the others take her attention away, and always lingering, istg you gave so many subtle clues like this was soooo delicious. I can't wait to see how you develop this and where it goes. Im so invested!!! And tysfm for writing tall reader content 👏 🙌

Ahhhh, thank you so much!!! I'm so happy to hear that you're enjoying the series so far!! I really do have a lot planned for it, so I'll probably begin working on part 4 soon!

And lmaooo Joong is always there to give off his best "don't look at other idols" stare

Honestly, I know the main pairing is Yan!Yeosang but I was thinking about it the other night and I realized this series could also bloom into yan!Jongho and yan!Hongjoong with the way it's going, but I'll stick with Yeo for now lmaooo

Ahhh I'm so glad you picked up on a lot of the little seeds I've been planting so far with Yeosang and his behaviour!!! There's significance to some of it, but others, not so much. We'll see in later chapters what is and isn't ;))

Overall, thank you so much for reading and sending me this lovely ask!!! I really appreciate it!!! 🥰

[twentyfivemiceinatrenchcoat]

ari should i watch the apothecary diaries? i've been kinda interested in it for a while + you keep hyping it up... today i woke up with the opening playing in my head

i agree with what you said about jinshi, his behavior reminds me a little of cult leader geto's antics... he's so pathetic... (my all time most favorite genre of men after motherly). he's also so so beautiful and the lining of his outer thing (sorry i don't know what it's called... fake chinese moment) is really similar to the sash on geto's gojo kesa... which i think is sooooo beautiful as well

n my friend said i'm realllllyy similar to maomao so this will probably be a self-indulgent watch for me... read her backstory and it's making me so sad but she comes across as so strong... i'm already so attached to her it's not even funny. also i didn't know your whole family was into anime!! that's so wholesome and cute..

about the kenny plushes, they don't sell very well (especially in the jp fandom!) so you can get them for sooo cheap. you can use a proxy if you really want to! i use sendico and the shipping isn't bad! i know they ship to a lot of smaller european countries too ^ ^

i can NOT believe they got lost at sea. omfg i am fuming for you that is so very sad. we should track down the ship. that lost it. it's negligence.

are you talking about these? https://jp.mercari.com/item/m92282289388 i actually have the cat plush one that's fairly similar! https://jp.mercari.com/item/m20944297256 N ABOUT THE MERCH I JUST.......... ORDERED A LOOK UP.... finally found geto's for a reasonable price :( now i just have to wait for golden week to end for it to shipp,.w;...... AND THIS ONE https://jp.mercari.com/item/m89522427367 where he looks so hot that i'm literally about to die

thank you so much for listening to my rambles!! :D <3 🌖🌖

🌖 ANONNNNNNNN

YOU SHOULDDDD YOU SHOULD!!!!!!! it’s super duper duper good!!!!!!!!!!!! it’s so great!!!!!!!!!!!!!! the plot is amazing and the animation is gorgeous and the characters are so so charming…. JINSHI IS LITERALLY CULT LEADER GETO just. less evil. and more flirty. he’s kinda like…. if you mixed cult leader geto and teen toru in one big bowl. BUT HE’S GENUINELY VERY SIMILAR TO HOW I PICTURE CULT!GETO BEING W A CRUSH…. like….. in an au where there aren’t any complications and you’re on his side. i think he’s soooo silly and bratty and pouty. but he wants you to lean on him so badly.

he makes me insane btw motherly/pathetic men are the actual standard ANYWAYYY MAOMAO. i adore her!!!!! just as much as jinshi!!!!!! 🥺 AND WE’RE TWINNING SO HARD 🌖 ANONNNNN i see myself as super similar to her too 😭😭 just. the way she acts…. but she rlly is so lovely and funny and soso strong!!!! she’s a wonderful character……

AND YES KINDA PHDKDJ … honestly it’s mostly just. me and my two older brothers. but my mom likes manga!!! i think she’s still caught up on detective conan to this day…. the amount of chapters are frankly really silly i can’t believe it’s still ongoing 💀 BUTTT i do force my older sis to watch anime w me sometimes :3 yesterday i made her binge dungeon meshi w me!!! i’m still not nearly finished w it (and all the episodes aren’t out yet!!) but i recommend it SO strongly it’s so feel-good but also so???? idk. it’s special. and i adore laios like nothing else…. mr puppydog…….

BUT WAHHHHHH :((((((( kenny being neglected…. sniffle……… i tried using that site but it does Not work for me lmao it won’t let me register my credit card :’3 and i’m worried since i can only write my name and adress using english letters…… the kenny stuff rlly was so cheap grrr i’m mad. but oh well!!!

AND YES EXACTLY IT’S THOSE CATS!!!! 🥺🥺 wahhhhh i need the goken set so BADLY just look at them…. the meowmeows ever…….

all the merch you linked…. GRRRRR you are tempting me so hard rn 😭😭 THAT ONE OFFICIAL GETO ART. need him so bad. he looks soooooo fucking good it should be illegal…… i’m also sooooo jealous you found geto’s look up!!!!! i need to hunt him down!!!!!!!!!!!! but i can’t spend any more money on merch this month…. sobs…….. I’M ALWAYS VERY HAPPY TO HEAR ABT YOUR MERCH ESCAPADES THOUGHHH i hope your sugus reach you safely!!!!! pls send pics once he comes home plspls 🥺🥺🥺

[izukuisbaby]

Omg imagine being a pro hero as well and being married to Izuku 🥺🥺 I love that man so much

Imagine him being needy and missing his partner while they’re away for a mission 😭

⊹˚.⋆ PRO-HERO HUSBAND HEADCANONS - IZUKU MIDORIYA

℘. flora's notes : HOW COULD I NOT ANSWER THIS ? hello to u fellow izu simp 👀 sorry it took a while but I kept adding stuff- IM STARTING MY COURSE TODAY IM TERRIFIED

scheduled post im sleeping bro

℘. female, male and gn reader friendly ♡

℘. bonus : I'm ranting about the wedding planning 💀💀 I AM NOT POSTING AT PEAK HOURS, PLEASE REBLOG 🥲

m.list | comment or reblog if you enjoyed !

℘. i see pro hero izu as very buff, taller and much more confident with himself ! he works out a lot to keep up with the 1st pro hero lifestyle and he has jaw-dropping muscles (im gonna drool)

℘. and he loves to engulf you in his strong arms and give you a teddy bear hug ORRR have your back against his chest with his arms wrapped around you when you two are watching a movie on the couch

℘. he isn't home much, he has to maintain peace in Japan, you're worried and so is he about his hero work. he loves his job so so much, it's his dream. but sometimes he just wishes he could spend more time with you

℘. but you're a lucky babe ! his co-workers and friends Shoto and Katsuki force him to take breaks so that he can spend time with you. they are soooo understanding of your relationship and so supportive too !

℘. when izu told katsuki he was going to propose to you he went like :

"THAT'S MY BOY" and hit him in the back🥲 but that's his way of being supportive

℘. TAKES A DAY OFF EVERY WEEK FOR YOU and he will cook for you every single time ! izuku loves cooking so as soon as he gets the occasion he will make u a little something <3

℘. when izu has his lunch break, he makes a list of things he wants to watch and do with you, his favs are 8-10 episodes netflix series because he can binge-watch them on his free day with you in his arms

℘. officialized his relationship with you on socials quite quickly, he knew he was going to marry you. you are now the most liked tweet-

℘. he talks about you in interviews NO DOUBTS. he tries not to say too much, he likes his privacy but he has a bad habit of rambling and kind of spills more than he wishes to sometimes 🥲

℘. "i am so grateful to have a wife/husband like y/n. they are always so patient with me. i mean, dating a pro hero is obviously not easy but they're so supportive. i know i am making them go through a lot and i hate that they have to worry about me. i love them so much really, i wouldn't be here without them"

℘. SPENDS MONEY ON YOU. there's not a week where you don't have a bouquet of flowers, or a cute cake he saw at the bakery or something that he thought would like nice in your flat !

℘. he always gives you his card when you go shopping with your friends. HE LOOKS FORWARD TO YOUR HAULS and he loves seeing you in clothes he bought for you.

℘. BUT if you want to pay for your stuff he will 100% support you, he just doesn't know how to make you happy so he gives you everything he owns-

℘. you're his #1 fan, he is so flattered to have an s/o that's so supportive. he always makes a little trip to the marketing wing of his agency to get you the upcoming products.

℘. the marketing team LOVES you, your reviews are always the best, they know you want the best merch for the best husband 😇

⊹˚.⋆ THE WEDDING PREPARATION (i got carried away so I had to make a whole separate part for this)

℘. shoto and katsuki had to reassure izu at least 20 times :

katsubabe : "they love you dumbass, can't you see it ? you've been together for like eternity and they put up with you every day, that is a great act of love"

sho : "i think that you should propose to then midoriya. don't doubt it, and if they say no my sister knows how to use tinder, I'll tell her to teach you"

katsubabe :"that's not what you're supposed to say half shit"

izu : "YOU'RE BOTH GONNA BE MY BEST MEN, I LOVE YOU GUYS"

℘. the whole wedding process caused izuku so much anxiety. he installed pinterest and made a board "wedding <3"

℘. he really really tried to handle it himself but he gave up, too much anxiety. you were tired of seeing him sacrifice his sleep for the wedding and hired a wedding planner instead 💀

℘. izu was relieved, he wanted it to be perfect and who can make it more perfect than a professional ?

℘. he wanted the wedding to be private, it was about 30 people and no media was allowed HOWEVER he posted the wedding pictures on his social media and broke the internet

℘. izu showing u off on socials 💥💳🥲🥲

Hello lovebug and happy December 9th! I didn't mean to make you feel bad about not answering or being, you have a life with priorities and responsibilities, which is completely normal. I feel like it's easier for me to be consistent as I have set kind of schedule for myself–which is very weird because I'm usually not the most organized person. So yeah, don't hate yourself because I love you and don't mind at all. Cut yourself some slack, lovebug!

To answer your question, I didn't get to rest much as I have a lot on my hands at the moment, but I indulged myself a bit the other day and got the most delicious croissant ever. There was chocolate in it, which isn't something I've seen eaten many times before, but it was delicious. The man who baked it was so cute too, and I'm pretty sure he believed my friend and I were a couple because she paid for me and he looked at us fondly, that was very sweet. The cafe was very nice too, it didn't look like much from the outside but there was a cozy feeling to it which I greatly appreciated.

What a shame that you don't like summer when you have it for most of the year! I at least hope that you get to enjoy the ocean or something, because if not it's probably torture. I don't think I like summer that much either, as I think sleeping is very difficult when it's too warm outside. Not last summer but the summer before that, I went to the countryside and felt very feverish because of the heat so I kept getting delirious nightmares, it was atrocious. It's weird thinking about it now that it's freezing! Don't worry, I'll wear "extra sick" socks–sorry, this was too cute not to mention.

I'm so proud and so glad you got good marks. You deserved them and I'm sure it must be a relief. Smartest girl in town you are! Never doubted you to be honest. Still sorry the 7th was "heretic" though! I hope you had fun with your friend, at least. What did you two watch?

My friend wanted to drag me to the cinema to see the French Dispatch, but I'm pretty sure we missed our shot now, and it's not like we have time to do such a thing. She also wants us to go see the next Spider man when it'll be released so she's starting to teach about it all because I've only seen the old ones and I'm pretty clueless about Marvel. I've only seen very few. Are you any better than me? haha

Anyways, I'm wishing you the very best for today. I feel like you must be up and about already–it seems like you're an early riser. Enjoy the sun, and take care of yourself lovebug. I can wait for as long as you need, so no need to apologize. Love you, and don't forget to treat yourself today!

Sending frozen kisses and warm hugs your way,

Your Secret Santa

Hello my anonymous bestie!!!

Ohhh don’t worry I don’t feel pressured at all 🥺 I just like being able to answer you everyday, I think that’s like the least I should do after you take your time to write me such lovely messages!! It’s so cute that you’ve got yourself a schedule and everything, I could never I’m soooo unorganised it’s funny!

I hope you’ll get to rest soon enough, once you’ve got some time to yourself. Omgggg I’m french so if you talk to me about croissants I’ll kiss you!! I’m kissing you! Yes yes I love the stereotype of us french people worshipping our croissants 😭 and with chocolate in the middle? I’ve never eaten that but it sounds amazing? Also the little anecdote about your friend and the man looking at you as if you were a couple is so so cute. Must be nice going to a café with your friend, haven’t done that in a while. I always loved cafés, the smell of freshly backed pastries and baguettes, the small tables in the corner that give you a semblance of privacy… yeah I miss going to cafés with my friend. Perhaps one day I’ll get to do it again, who knows?

Summer is so… ew!! Well I live on an island and we have the beach like pretty much everywhere and to be honest I haven’t been at all :( I think I’m going to go since it’s now my break! Here’s some pictures for you I took!! :

Take care of ur tiny feet grrrr!! To be honest I know that you’re colder if you don’t cover your extremities - ears, hands, head and feet!! So cover these and you should feel better.

I watched Resident Evil! It was all right, not as scary as the trailer made it sound like. Honestly it wasn’t the film that mattered to me but just the act of going out to the cinema with my friend — I loved that. I had a great laugh, and so much fun. And ahh I want to see the French Dispatch!! I’m going to look it up online, it looks awesome. As for Spider man I too want to go to the cinema to see it. I’ve seen every Avengers and Spider man in the movie theatre so you can see… It’s quite the tradition!!

You should defo watch the other Spider-Man movies, especially the first ones. I love Tobey Maguire. If you watch them tell me how you found them!!

I love you even more!!! I’m wishing you the best too. You’re so precious ahhhh I can’t wait to know who you are. I’ll be proper annoying then haha. Sending you love 💝
