Bungou Stray Dogs: Dead Apple and how âability usersâ (opposite to ânormal peopleâ) learning to accept themselves through the acceptance of their own abilities is a queer metaphor of acceptance of own's sexual orientation and gender: an essay by me
#bsd#bungou stray dogs#About: Dead Apple. Watched this a while ago with a friend and it was a lot of fun!!!#If you're reading this: thank you so much for hanging out with me I had such a good time (ă
ÂŽ Ë )âĄ#Next to general considerations: wow they were right that Bungou Stray Dogs movie sure can Bungou Stray Dogs#It's always nice to see the detailed animation and elaborate backgrounds of movies. The animation quality compared to the manga isâ#definitely noticeable and it's nice to see. That said... I still like the season 2 art style more? And I'm speaking strictly of art style.#The s2 one looks more soft and smooth while the da one is so much more rough.#The plot is... Very bsd-esque I don't think there's anything to add.#In my opinion Kyouka's arc is the one that turned out best tbh. I really like her narrative development and personal growth in this movie.#I like the complexity of her state of mind. how full of contradiction she is. I especially appreciate the recurring small changes ofâ#expression that indicate how she thinks differently from Atsushi even if she doesn't voice them. The fight between her cynicism and herâ#kind nature. It's all very interesting.#Atsushi's development is interesting too. Although all the open questions about his ability we still have kind of leave me frustrated#I don't feel very strongly about Akutagawa in this movie? I meanâ he's there. The ss/kk scenes are always great and in character and a joyâ#to witness no matter what they do. He just doesn't shine particularly? Or at least personally I dont find the âproving my strength againstâ#myselfâ narrative arc to be particularly interesting. Imo it was a lot better flashed out in the da stage play! With the complexity thatâ#the dialogues with Chuuya added to the character. Dazai attacking him. And especially Aktgw understanding that Rashomon wasn't testing Aktg#but rather only expressing that unstoppable rage that is also Aktgw's own. About that I checked out the play and I really liked it!!#I only watched highlights (aka: ss/kk and chuu/aku scenes) but there's some stuff I really like. I like the conflict between Aktgw andâ#Chuuya and how Chuuya messes up with Aktgw at first maliciously and then amiably. It's interesting how Atsushi himself observes that Kyouka#and Akutagawa get along. And especially the sskk almost-handholding and Atsushi saying Akutagawa has a nice profile were cute akjdhbsawhjb#Next. Da really is shipping paradise (â„ïčâ„) Sorry but... It is. oda/zai. daz/atsu. ss/kk. s/kk. fuku/mori. chuu/aku. It really has everythin#and the moments are so good!!!! What else. Wish we'd see more of Tsujimura. And Christie. And women in general tbh.#Alsoâââââ Atsushi's tiger form in this movie is ATROCIOUS. I've said it before but it's crazy how a franchises that relies so heavily onâ#fanservice came up with something this hideous. Man the movie overall was pretty but Atsushi sure wasn't. Firmly stand by the beliefâ#that only Akutagawa would find that form attractive.#Oh last note. honestly if we're ready to accept a movie where an antidote has effect AFTER the person has effectively died then we reallyâ#can't complain about any kind of insanity the manga brings up#random rambles

sometimes i feel like rn it's really understated just how bad things could be if trump wins. like, actually. i feel like it's being forgotten that despite how bad things are right now, they would surely get WORSE.
#i dont want biden to win either#but is there really a big enough politician on the democratic party who the (still conservative) american population would vote for#HILLARY didnt even win and she's a generally non-offensive white woman#i know its like voting for 2 evils. but lest we forget there is definitely a MORE evil one here#and i think its the one who unabashedly tried to flush stolen documents in his toilet#i think its the one who wants to build the iron dome#i really wish i could say not to vote for biden. because trust i know very well all the shitty things hes done and stands for#(him clearly explaining ukraine & russia but dodging any questions about israel & palestine is enough proof of this)#but things around the world are going to get much much worse if trump wins#'cause hes just going to do whatever the republican party tells him to#downright evil those people could be at times#im still trying to gather my thoughts around this#as an outsider i cant help but be worried#because rn the us is a big factor towards the west philippine sea tensions#and honestly if we lose toast. like we're actually going to get colonized for the 4TH time#so im scared of what'll happen if trump were to ever take office again#00#sorry for the long tags btw#i fully understand that biden is a horrible person. i was pulling my hair out with all of you#but there are nuisances here that i feel shouldnt be forgotten#trump unfortunately really came out with a stronger swing after that debate#so i feel like everyone's sort of forgetting that no matter how horrible everything is right now#his only promise is to make things worse#and not voting only adds to his perogative

Something a little different: concept sketches because I can't commit to drawing actual reference sheets for these guys. Humans are a struggle...
#rahim#alois#olga#1312verse#oc#i still like the little grayscale alois sketch#i think thats the only one where i managed to capture his likeness#his face is insanely difficult for me to get right#i dont have a faceclaim plus he lacks any âoutstandingâ features#besides blandness#if he was be a spice he'd be flour#and I do like how Rahims face came out on his fullbody pose#really feels like him somehow#olga is honestly the least difficult of them but thats also due to me not being so hellbend on a specific design#funky face goes brrrr#i should pronounce her skin texture more the next time though#human#mild nudity#still insanely amused by the fact i accidentally created the german flag with their hair colors

God I don't wanna go to therapy tomorrow. Sick of talking about my feelings in a clinical setting. I do enough psychoanalysis just by myself, and now I gotta sit through it with someone else??? Come on.
#speculation nation#i say as if i didnt submit myself to this and am not willingly paying for this to continue#idfk man ive always hated therapy. just kinda kept it going bcus i was so messed up about the whole grief shit#and i guess it's been maybe helpful. i dont know.#SHOULD i mention this tomorrow? i already know it's ass and entirely undeserved#if i did it'd mostly be another source to complain about it. theres really nothing anyone can say to make it better#bc it's bullshit and it already happened. and i already have the objective proof of yet another person losing interest in me.#... i dont know. i feel like it's inevitably going to come up. it's already taken up so much of my thoughts.#my every dream last night stemmed from it all. it was such a fitful night of sleep.#i can only pray that i dont dream about it tonight too. i want a fucking break from it all.#i hope she loses sleep from guilt. i hope she hurts every time she remembers what she did to me.#i hope she comes around tomorrow so she can see the face she kissed and she lied about loving#so she can remember im a person with feelings too. a person who opened up to her. a person who trusted her.#............ okay maybe i should talk about my blatantly vicious retaliatory remarks with my therapist.#i tried to reign it in but Bitch Mode definitely came out earlier today. when it was fresh. and i just wanted to make her Hurt.#i still want that honestly. i want her to truly regret doing this. to be filled with so much guilt for how she chose to do it.#i cant change her feelings. no matter how much i might want to. but i sure as hell can make her regret it.#i feel like im allowed a bit of petty bitchiness after this bullshit. but i also dont like the person i become like this.#anger issues. perhaps i should talk about my anger issues with my therapist.#easier than just rehashing the whole breakup. though i'll probably have to do that some too.#but better to have a goal for it. a direction to focus on. so that it's not just me complaining.#... it still wont be fun. and my ex mentioned coming round an hour after my therapy ends for dropping the shit off.#so Assuming she actually shows up (still not convinced she will after she flaked on me twice)#it's gonna be therapy and then seeing her right after. god it's gonna suck.#i'll try to do some homework maybe. and then maybe see if anyone wants to hang out later tomorrow.#my friends r the real ones. hanging out with me for 7 hours... they traded off between them but still#for 7 hours i was not alone. and that was very nice of them to do.#good things. positives! focusing on the positives. i am a healthy person with a healthy outlook on life. smiles.

Got my end of the month burst of motivation to get my shit together and did 10 push ups
#horse.txt#and some squats and some stretches. but wow those pushups did me in#funfact last time i weighed myself i was actually Under 100 lbs! one of the most disheartening things#'you never go out you dont have any friends why dont you ever go out to meet people??' i could be stuffed in a bag and carried away on foot#i am like flat stanley. i could be blown away by a stiff breeze. and i also just dont have a large appetite?#funfact 2 one of my biggest insecurities is that when i order small portions of food or salads that ppl will think im dieting or have an ED#neither of which are necessarily a Bad thing but ppl do sometimes start to. treat you certain ways over it#either theyre the woke type who start looking at you all pitiful or they start griping to you about their own weight problems in some way#worse in the rare blue moon where ppl with ask me how i stay so skinny. bitch i have adhd i forget to eat Constantly. im starving#its on accident but shit i cant just say that to ppl lol so its always just 'haha my metabolism đ€Ș' which they sometimes STILL DONT ACCEPT?#LIKE AS AN ANSWER? THEY'LL JUST ASK AGAIN LIKE IM KEEPING IT A SECRET??#vent //#not really it kinda came out of nowhere honestly#sigh#very frustrated with myself lately in case yall haven't noticed!#god i need to get laid

-_____- ive been wanting to wait until i have like much better insurance when my permanent position comes thru but i might just cave and make a dr's appointment for my. ongoing ear infection thats been on-and-off for like. years at this point
#its been worse the past few days and im like grrrrrrr#i might as well get a starting appointment with a new pcp. cause like i feel like they usually need to see you with a new patient appt#before you get into any like. actual problems you might have. and might want to like.. see a doctor for#which i understand on some level but thats kind of crazy to me#last time i went to a doctor for this ear thing he was shocked because he gave me 2 different steroids to treat it#and neither of them worked on my ear. he was like yuuuup thats still red and swollen on the inside. huh weird#and he gave me some eardrops for it which also didnt work#so im like what now. i USED to think it was due to the pressure from my sideways wisdom tooth pressing on that ear canal#and honestly getting them removed DID seem to help for awhile. and i was like ahh that fixed it ... but it came back like a year later#so now im like now what. i feel like i might need an ear specialist at this point#but i'll wait and see what a new doctor has to say about my ears and how we go about treating it i guess#the place i get obgyn at has pcps which is like a pretty good place.#i was looking for someone specifically trans knowledgeable but i might just cave and go there#cause i do trust that place with my health now#it MIGHT just be that my ear canals are shaped poorly which makes it like. condusive to getting infections#which like. well what do i do about that i guess. ummmmmm ....??#i could believe that cause parts of my body are shaped a lil funny due to like. my birth circumstances#i have bones doctors have hemmed and hawed over if they were broken like huh????#and they bascially were like wait ohhh you were born with bones shaped weird. lol#you cant really tell just from looking at my hands if i dont show you but my hands are shaped like curved outwards from one another#people think im doing a gross-out party trick when i show them and theyre like eww stooop but im like thats just my hands LOL

Headcanons for being Tony Starkâs child
Tony Stark x child!reader
warnings: alcohol ment,
a/n: so i just really think that the concept of tony having the party kid as opposed to nerdy avenger kid would be a really cool idea to explore teehee. most of this does actually take place pre-avengers tho!!
prompt:
you weâre quite the exhausting kid
âis this really how it felt to raise me?â -tony
many of nights heâd find your bed empty, youâd snuck out to go have your fun as teenagers do
âyeah, boss, i imagine it wasâ -happy
you always showed back up in one piece (like him) and besides a little slap on the wrist you didnât get much discipline
actually, it usually went like:
âso, where did you go off to last night?â -tony
âa partyâ -you
âreally? didnât want to loop me in before you snuck outâŠagain?â
âlast time i told you about a party you showed up!â
âuhâyeah, but itâs not like i went all dad on you and dragged you away or anythingâ
âyeah, you joined the party and offered to buy teenagers more boozeâ
âhey, they all loved you after that! and they couldnât get enough of my classic dance movesâ -tony, jokingly doing the sprinkler with one arm âbut seriously, let me know next timeâ
âweâll see about thatâ -you
^the above conversion went about the same every time
sometimes for entertainment purposes youâd try a little harder, throw a few pillows under the covers to make it look like you were still home to put a smile on tonyâs face
âaw, y/n reminds me so much of meâ -tony
tony was still partying at this point so youâd flip the script on him from time to time
âyou were out lateâ -you
âwhat are you, a cop? leave me alone. actually, can you get me some aspirin and water?â -tony
âsure, one or twoâ -you
âmake it threeâ -tony
he would nurse your occasional hangovers (what a great dad!)
okay, he didnât always know when you were gone. he was busy a lot of the time with his own business and extracurriculars so you guys did just kinda do your own thing for certain stretches of time
honestly you could be a bit of a klepto in the best of ways
but only to tony and only for fun
âoh, great, whereâs my car?â -tony
âwhich one?â -pepper
âthe black one!â -tony
âbe more specificâ -pepper
âthe only one missing from my garage!â -tony
âyeah, i know, just wanted to give you some more time to think about itâ -pepper
âi changed the code on the lockbox like, five times this week. did they hotwire it?â -tony
âwe are talking about your kid, right? pretty sure they just hacked itâ -pepper
âi amâŠso proudâ -tony
you MAY have gotten a few close calls with authorities, but nothing tony couldnât handle
and up until tonyâs accident, the phrase âyouâre going to give me a heart attackâ was silly and endearing
âyou might actually give me a heart attack, y/n, give a guy some warning or just say please for godâs sakeâ -tony, now comes with an arc reactor in his chest
âsorryâ -you
âwhatâhuhâdidnât hear ya, wanna say that a little louder?â -tony, very sarcastically
i tell ya when he got that armor u couldnât tell if u were gonna flip out at him or invite him to a party
or steal it forâŠyou didnât even know what
but tony was 3 steps ahead of you when all this came to be
and you werenât very interested in weapons, still just parties and dumb fun for you
âdad, i dont wanna be a nerd, will you just let me go out?â -you
âcome on! just help me in the lab a few hours, whatâs it gonna hurt?â -tony
âmy social statusâ -you
âmight i remind you youâre a stark? i think youâll live if you miss one partyâ -tony
âyouâd be surprisedâ -you
âhey, i almost died! give your old man a breakâ -tony
once tony got involved with SHIELD and the avengers he got even busier really
and in came the parenting advice from fury, clint, nat, steve
âhey, i donât see you raising a teenager, back offâ -tony
*clint side eye*
steve once tried to give you a good talking to, but you reminded him a great bit of your father with your stubbornness
âyou done? i dont think you should be giving out any parenting tips fresh off the iceâ -you
tony was kind of proud of you for sticking to your guns
especially around such powerful people
but you had a knack for that and could do it to practically anyone
mostly because you felt like an invincible teenager since you were raised by tony, who also thought himself an invincible teenager at one point
u tried to tone down giving tony grief when he started having panic attacks
since u accidentally caused a few by pushing boundaries and staying out for several nights in a row
cuz as tony gained more enemies, he thought youâd be in more danger
which was true
âhappy, youâre y/nâs personal bodyguardâ -tony
âno!â -you
âuh, cool? any fun parties planned tonight? iâll be the designated driver. god knows iâve been tonyâs too many timesâ -happy

series masterlist
pairing:Â luke castellan x daughter of poseidon!reader
summary:Â percy learns about the first girl luke castellan ever loved.
a/n:Â this is a lil sad. sorry about that. but i really like it and it came out of nowhere in like 2 days so i hope you enjoy despite the sadness. title from the mitski song
wc:Â 6.5k
warning(s): major character death; not shown but hangs over the whole fic. angst made angstier by fluffy flashbacks. mostly told through percyâs pov but includes luke, annabeth, and reader povs
also if you saw this before on another account DONT WORRY... that account was also me. im just doing some stuff behind the scenes right now as i figure stuff out lol i promise no plagiarism is going on
Percy thought that his head might explode.Â
He didnât know how he was still walking, honestly. His mom died, he killed aâ no, theâ Minotaur, all the Greek myths were real and his dad was one of them, and now he had to deal with that freak accident with Clarisse and the toilets.Â
At least he would be ready next time she tried to beat him up. Percy had been the new kid enough to know there would be a next time.
All he could do was stare at the Minotaur horn in his hands, the only sign that what happened outside the border was real. The horn in his hands and the hole in his heart.Â
Percy swallowed the lump in his throat. Heâd been thrown into the deep end, and the only thing on his mind was when he would start to drown.Â
âHey.â Percy looked up to see the counselor heâd met earlier with AnnabethâLuke. He tossed a ziploc bag at him and he caught it, taking a moment to look at what was in it.Â
âI stole you some toiletries from the camp store,â he explained. âThought it might make you feel more at home.âÂ
ââŠThanks.â He didnât know if Luke was joking, but the damage had already been done. And it was the nicest thing someone had done for him so far. He set it down next to his Minotaur shoebox. âIs this the best that it gets?âÂ
Lukeâs lips quirked up in a slight smile. âFor now. Weâre a little crowded, if you couldnât tell.âÂ
âJust a little bit.â Percy stood up from his sleeping bag and worked out the knot in his shoulder. âWhereâs your bed? Assuming you have one.âÂ
âI couldnât wrangle all these cats without some back support,â he said, and he pointed to a bed in the corner. It was the only one on its own without a bunk, and he had a fair amount of decorations. Counselor privileges, he figured. Percy walked over, Luke trailing behind him.Â
âNice place,â he said. Percy picked up the Yankeeâs cap on his bedside table and nodded as he looked back at him. âNice taste.âÂ
âItâs for Annabeth,â Luke said. âShe wanted us to match.âÂ
Percy nodded again in approval. âGood taste for both of you.â
Luke had various other things around â an alarm clock knocked over next to the baseball cap, a huskie sticker on the wall half-scraped off, a poster for an album he didnât recognize.Â
But the thing that caught his eye was a polaroid hanging on the wall, surrounded by a smattering of others varying in size.Â
The first one had to be an old pictureâLuke didnât have his scar, and the biggest smile stretched across his face. He had a girl close with an arm slung around her waist, and she mightâve been smiling even more than Luke. A bright energy emanated around her, something that must have transferred through the picture, because Percy found himself feeling a little better just looking at her. He wondered if she was a camper.Â
His eyes flicked to the next picture, which was another one of Luke and that girl. They were both laughing as she tried to put a blue hat on Lukeâs head, and he protested with a hand on her wrist. They were in the forefront of a baseball game, Percy noticed.
There were other pictures, tooâLuke, a girl dressed all punk, and what looked like a young version of Annabeth, most notablyâbut a majority of them were either Luke and that girl, or the girl all on her own. In every single one, she beamed brighter than the sun.Â
Percy pointed at the picture of Luke and the girl at the baseball game, his curiosity getting the better of him. âWhoâs that?â
That seemed to catch Luke off-guard, his lips parting for a moment as if he wanted to say something. It barely took him any time to get back on track, but Percy found himself frowning.Â
âThatâsâŠâ Luke cleared his throat, wet his lips, shook his head. âA friend. A very good friend.â
âDoes she go here?â Percy asked.Â
âShe did.âÂ
He frowned. âWhere is she, then?âÂ
âPercyââ Lukeâs voice was strained, but he didnât really notice as he went on.Â
âI didnât see her around,â he continued, âand you look pretty close.âÂ
Luke blinked a couple times, and Percy swore he could see the telltale glimmer of tears starting in his eyes. A muscle worked in his jaw, and suddenly Percy was worried that heâd said something horribly wrong. He had a talent for that, it seemed.Â
Fortunately, he was saved by the bellâconch shell?âand something like relief flooded through Lukeâs expression. Tension still coiled in his body.Â
âCome on,â he said, that camp counselor smile coming back as he put his hand on Percyâs shoulder and guided him away from the enclave. âThat means dinnerâs about to start.â
Percyâs frown deepened as curiosity won out again. âWas she yourââ
âYou donât wanna be late,â Luke continued, ignoring his attempt. âI assume youâre pretty hungry after two days spent out?â
Well, that only made him want to push harder. But Percy figured he wouldnât get anything out of himâespecially not now.Â
ââŠYeah,â Percy said. âStarving.â
An odd look flickered across his face, but again, it only lasted for a second before he was back to normal. He cupped his hands around his mouth and yelled, âEleven! Fall in!âÂ
Percy was at the back of the line by virtue of him being the new kid, and he found himself looking back at that picture of Luke and the girl. He didnât know why, but something drew him to her. Before Percy could think about it more, the line was moving and his growling stomach drew his attention away.Â
He would have plenty of time to ask Luke about it later.Â
Or rather, ask him and piss off the only person whoâd tried to be his friend so far.Â
âŠGods.Â
Maybe he was going to drown sooner than he thought.Â
-
âLukeââÂ
âNo!âÂ
âLuke, please!âÂ
âAnnabeth will kill me if she knowsââÂ
âShe wonât know!âÂ
âAlright, alrightâ stay still, you two!âÂ
Your mother laughed from behind the camera as you and Luke fought with each other, you trying your damnedest to get your Red Sox cap on his head as he tried his damnedest to stop you. The frantic laughter on both sides made it a little difficult for either of you to succeed in your quest, but eventually, you got the rock up the hill and the hat on his head.Â
âTake the picture, Mom!â you exclaimed, pulling Luke even closer by his arms so he couldnât get it off. âI need the proof!âÂ
âI knew this was a bad idea,â Luke groaned, staring at the camera as you wrapped your arm around his side and leaned into him. He could already imagine your victorious smile, brighter than the sun beating down on them in the stadium, and just the thought of it made one of his own flit across his lips.Â
âOh, shut up, Castellan,â you said. âYou chose to come to this game. Everyoneâs gonna know youâre a Red Sox fan now.â
âYou said you wouldnât tell her!â Luke defended, wrenching his arms free of your control to take the hat off his head. âI donât even care about baseball!âÂ
âYou care so much about it,â you said cloyingly, âand youâre ride or die for the Boston Red Sox.âÂ
âIf you say a single wordââÂ
âOkay, kids!â Your mother pointed at the seats next to her. âThe gameâs about to startâyou can keep arguing, but only if you sit down so I can see.âÂ
âSorry, Mom.â You grinned at her as you pulled Luke over to your seatsâthey were a step up from nosebleeds, but they were the ones closest to the balcony so you could at least peer over the railing down to the diamond.
âItâs alright, sweetheart.â She glanced at Luke with a smile, and he could really see where you got it from. âWeâve gotta make him a fan somehow.âÂ
âI guess I can live with the brand.â Luke set the cap back on your head once you were seated, purposefully pulling the brim a little over your eyes, and he smiled at you. âEven though it looks better on you, anyways.âÂ
âYou just donât have what it takes to be a Red Sox fan in the heart of Yank territory,â you mused, pushing the hat back up so you could see. âItâs fine.âÂ
Luke rolled his eyes, but he could hardly bite back his smile.Â
âI am glad you came, though,â you said, glancing back at him. âIâm glad you came with me in the first place. This is gonna be the best semester.â
âThanks for having me,â Luke said. âItâs⊠itâs been a while since Iâve left camp.âÂ
âFingers crossed for no monster attacks, eh?â You held up your hand. âAt least, not during the game. I could live with it happening any other time.âÂ
âDonât speak it into existence,â your mom said. âWeâre going to have a monster-free school year.âÂ
To humor her, you made a claw over your heart and pushed out. She hummed in satisfaction, and you looked over at Luke. âItâs gonna be fine.âÂ
âYeah,â he said. âBecause two kids like us arenât gonna draw any attention.âÂ
âOh, I know we will,â you said. âBut I know itâll be fine.âÂ
Luke frowned. âHow can you be so sure?âÂ
You shrugged with a smile. âIâve got you.â
And in that moment, he was thankful for the freakish heat that honestly made no sense in the springâat least it covered up any sign of what your words did to him.Â
Luke thought you were joking when you asked him if he wanted to come back home with you for the school year. He didnât know why you wanted to go back in the first place, being a Big Three kid that apparently had a death wish, but the thought of him leaving camp was almost inconceivable.Â
Even after you assured him you werenât joking, he still wasnât sure. He was on the run with you for three years, thenâŠÂ
Well, he couldnât think about it for too long. But Luke had been on the outskirts of regular society for so long, doing nothing but fighting for his life, that he didnât know if he could actually function at a normal school.
But it felt right for you two to get some normal time together after you were separated for so long. It took him a semester to decide, but one day during your usual Iris message conversations, he told you heâd love to spend the rest of the year in Boston with you. Luke still remembered the grin you wore, your disbelieving but victorious cheers, the apology you yelled back at your mother for your noise.Â
Luke watched you as you talked with your mom, discussing Bostonâs chances and player statistics and baseball jargon he didnât think heâd ever understand, and he knew he would sit through a thousand Red Sox games if it meant he would get to keep seeing your smile.
You must have felt his eyes on you, because you glanced over at him. âAre you okay?âÂ
Luke smiled. Gods, he was so glad you were here.Â
âNever better.âÂ
-
âThat one nearly got me,â Luke said.Â
Percy huffed as he picked up his sword from the groundâhe was pretty sure he would officially lose his mind if Luke disarmed him with that stupid move one more time. One benefit to the Hermes cabin being too scared to associate with him after getting claimed was that he wasnât making a fool out of himself in front of other people.Â
âMaybe I can only beat you when I pour water on myself,â he said.Â
Luke chuckled as he took a bottle from the cooler on the side and held it up. âWanna try?âÂ
He shook his head. âI think my arms will fall off if I keep going with you.âÂ
He tipped his shoulder. âFair.âÂ
Percy stared at the ground as Luke gathered himself, trying to put the free range thoughts roaming around his head in order. It didnât help that heâd gained a million questions after Poseidon claimed him, and it didnât help that thereâs been a newest addition to his dream last night.Â
He still felt strange asking Luke about it, but he had to know more about her. Percy didnât know why it felt like his mission to find out who this mysterious girl was, or why he felt that strange connection to her. Maybe it was the way Luke acted whenever he brought her up, maybe it was that sheâd popped up in his dream next to him at the very end, maybe it was just plain old curiosity.Â
âIâm not supposed to be alive,â Percy said, breaking the silence. âI could die at any time in a bunch of different horrible ways. So will you tell me more about that girl on your wall?â Â
Again, Luke seemed to be caught off guard by it. Percy heard the crunch of plastic as his hand clenched ever so slightly around the bottle, and he tried to cover it up with an arched eyebrow. âWhy do you want to know so badly?âÂ
He shrugged. What was he supposed to say?Â
âIâm curious,â he decided.Â
Luke huffed a dry laugh before he took a sip of water, and he stared off into the distance for a while. He did a lot of staring whenever this girl was brought up. They looked like they were best friends in those pictures, but maybe whatever they had ended badly. And if she was a demigod tooâŠ
Well, it would make sense why he didnât want to talk about her.Â
âYou know that phrase about curiosity?â Luke asked.Â
âAnd how it killed the cat?âÂ
He nodded, drinking some more. âIt goes double for demigods.âÂ
âEverything else wants to kill me,â Percy said. âSo curiosityâs gonna have to get in line.âÂ
Lukeâs laugh was a little more genuine this time, and he shook his head. âI guess I can tell you a little about her. You actually probably have a right to know.âÂ
âIs she a half-blood?â Percy asked immediately.Â
He nodded. âYeah.âÂ
âWhoâs her parent?âÂ
Luke capped his water bottle and looked at Percy for a good, long moment. His face glowed in the warm afternoon sun, his scar cast in a softer light than usual. The scar used to unnerve him, but heâd gotten used to it after weeks staring at it during sword fighting.Â
âShe was a child of Poseidon, Percy,â he said. âJust like you.âÂ
Percy felt short of breath, like Luke had just knocked his sword out of his hand and shoved him to the ground. But he stood on his own two legs that somehow still worked, and Luke hadnât moved.Â
He had a sister?Â
âI have a sister?âÂ
ââŠHad,â Luke corrected. âShe⊠she died a few years back.âÂ
A vice latched onto Percyâs heart. He was still having a hard time breathing. No wonder Luke always used past tense when he was talking about her.Â
He had a sister, he wasnât alone, but he was because she was dead. And if Luke was one of her friends, that meant she died young.Â
Gods.Â
âWhat about their oath?â Percy asked, trying to ignore the aching in his chest. âIâm already on thin ice for my whole existing thing. How did Poseidon get away with two kids so close to each other?âÂ
Luke shrugged. âIâve never known why gods do things. Her mother was a great woman, thoughâI could see what drew Poseidon to her against the oath.âÂ
One half of Percy wanted to ask every question that kept popping into his head. The other side of him wanted to break down and cry.Â
âHow did you meet her?âÂ
âWe ran into each other when we were both young,â he said. âBoth child runaways, both demigods, both New Englandersâwe decided to rough it out on the road together. Couldnât be any worse than doing it on our own.â
Percy tried to imagine it. A young Luke and a younger version of that girlâmaybe Percyâs ageâliving together in the wilderness and fighting monsters. Surviving off of nothing but their wit and skill, facing death each day before theyâd even reached middle school.Â
âIt⊠it didnât happen then, did it?â he asked hesitantly.Â
Luke shook his head. âCouple years later. All we did was watch each otherâs backs out there.âÂ
Percy couldnât help himself. âWhat happened to her?â Â
âThe same thing that happens to everyone,â Luke said flatly. âThereâs a reason Iâm the oldest one here.âÂ
âThat doesnât make it better,â Percy insisted. âItâ it makes it worse, Luke. You see that, right?â Â
Luke stared at his empty water bottle then tossed it back into the cooler. When his gaze met Percyâs, he was shocked by how⊠tired he looked. Beyond exhaustedâbone-weary. Percy wanted to say more, but he didnât get the chance.Â
âThis isnât good conversation,â Luke said, âand itâs getting late. You should hit the showers before dinner.âÂ
The sun still beat down on them, bright and angry in the sky, but Percy provided no argument. He had a lot to think about.Â
Before they went their separate ways, Percy stopped and looked back at him. âIâm sorry sheâs gone, Luke.âÂ
Lukeâs gaze went unfocused for a moment, his eyes growing glossy. âSo am I.âÂ
-
Percy sat on the floor of the Hermes cabin in the corner that used to be his, staring at his meager belongings. He had to decide what to take on his quest, which was made easier by the fact that he hardly had anything to his name. Things could always be worse, though. At least he would have a change of clothes.Â
He shouldâve been doing this in his own cabin, but it felt too empty, too suffocating in its silence. Eleven was still more familiar. He heard the door open and saw Luke walk in, and his eyes lit up when he saw Percy.Â
âHey,â he said. âI wanted to see you before you left. Howâre you feeling pre-quest?âÂ
âLike the worldâs about to end,â he said.Â
Lukeâs lips twitched into a smile as he sat on the bed across from Percy. âUnderstandable. It kinda is.âÂ
âItâs just overwhelming.â Percy shoved the unfolded clothes into his backpack. âI have to clear mine and my dadâs names and get Zeusâs bolt back, or else war will start. No pressure at all.âÂ
âYou were chosen for a reason,â Luke said. âYou may not see it, Percy, but youâve improved a lot since you got here. If anyone can do this, I think itâs you.âÂ
Percy looked up at him, and he was reminded of the way their last conversation went. He was asking before he could really stop himself.Â
âI could die on this quest and never see you again,â Percy said. âSo could you tell me more about my sister before I go?â Â
Luke smiled wistfully and sighed. âYou really wonât let this go, will you?âÂ
âItâs not really something you just let go,â he said. âBesides, I⊠I saw her in my dream last night.âÂ
Lukeâs smile faded. âYou did?â Â
Percy nodded. âFor a split second, but I know it was her. I felt the same way I did whenever I looked at her pictures. And⊠itâs the second time sheâs shown up.âÂ
He let out a long sigh and shook his head, his gaze trailing off to the wall. He always looked so much older when he talked about this girl, like he was a war veteran reminiscing on his lost love. And from what heâd gathered, it might not have been too far off.Â
âI told you we ran together when we were young,â he said, and Percy nodded. âWe were both nine, and it shouldâve been terrible, but she had a way of making everything better. Always found the bright side of things, was always able to make me laugh.âÂ
âShe was from Massachusettsâright in the middle of Boston.â Luke chuckled as he looked at Percy. âHuge Red Sox fan.âÂ
Percy grimaced. âWe all make mistakes.âÂ
Luke smiled, though it faded a bit. âWe got separated for a while, but we found each other again when I got to camp. Things were more peaceful than they are now, so sheâd been claimed at camp pretty quickly. I figure Poseidon wanted her to have the protection of him openly standing behind her after what happened.âÂ
He frowned. âWhat do you mean, âwhat happenedâ?âÂ
Luke shook his head. âThat would be an awful story to send you off on.âÂ
Percy wanted to protest, but he didnât. Luke was probably rightâPercy didnât want to make him relive it and then have to go on a death quest right after.
âA happier part, then,â he suggested.
âShe ran away from home as a kid to protect her mom, but now that she had an idea of what she was doing, she started going back to school. She invited me to stay with her during the school year one year, and I accepted. Thatââ Lukeâs throat bobbed, and the other hand clenched into a fistâ âthat was when she died.âÂ
In his stunned silence, Luke got up and went over to his alcove. He pulled the drawer open on his bedside table and pulled out a neatly folded piece of paper. It mustâve been folded and crumpled a million other times in messier ways by all the creases he could see, but when Luke opened it, he could see handwriting all over the front.Â
A letter.Â
âWe Iris messaged each other constantly while she was at school,â he said, âand we wrote back and forth when we couldnât. This was the last letter she sent me.âÂ
Percyâs first instinct was to say he wouldnât be able to read it, but he realized that he didnât really care. These were words that his sister wroteâhe would sit here the rest of the day forcing sentences to make sense if that was what it took.Â
So he took the letter when Luke offered it.Â
To the one and only Luke Castellan,Â
My mom said yes! After a very long interrogation (she now knows basically everything about you) and a million promises that you would be as careful as possible and that you were good enough at sword fighting to take down anything that could come after us, she said you can spend the year here. We spent a couple hours every day making my momâs study into a guest room, so you have a place to stay.
Iâm an idiot that didnât bring enough drachmas so thatâs why I have to send this letterâhopefully it gets to you soon enough, because weâre gonna come get you a week before my winter break is over. Mom is letting me drive down because she says I have to get my permit soon. It makes sense that my first big test is getting to you. If we donât make it, itâs because we died in a fiery crash.Â
Just kidding. Iâm a great driver. But tell me some of your favorite songs when you reply and Iâll burn a CD for the rideâI figured out how to use LimeWire. Oh, and throw in a couple drachmas with the envelope so I can Iris message you next time. I miss your face and your voice, and my hand is cramping up writing all of this.Â
But this is so exciting! I canât wait to introduce you to all my friends at school, and show you my favorite places in the city, and make you into a Red Sox fan. And you can come to my soccer gamesâ Iâm the greatest forward there is.Â
Jokes aside, Iâm going to make sure you have the best time. Weâll spend every second together, Luke. Weâre gonna make up for the time we lost.Â
I canât wait to see you again.
Your hurricane. Â
It took Percy a long time to get through it with the words swimming all over, and it didnât help that his vision had grown blurry.Â
Tears, he realized as he blinked, and he did it again to make sure they wouldnât fall. He couldnât cry in front of Luke, not over a girl he didnât even knowâeven if she was his sister. But maybe he was grieving thatâthe fact that he would never get to know her.Â
âGod, man. Iâ Iâm sorry.â Percy couldnât think of anything else to say. âShe sounds like she was great.âÂ
Luke couldnât even manage a smile this time as he stared at the wall. Percy was surprised he could even talk to him about it.Â
âShe was,â he murmured. âYou wouldâve liked her. And gods,â this time, a bit of a smile broke through despite it all, âshe would have loved a little brother.âÂ
âIâm gonna make her proud on this quest,â Percy vowed. âIâm gonna clear our dadâs name for her.â
Something in Lukeâs gaze had changedâsadness, almost regret. âYouâre a good kid, Percy. I hope your quest doesnât change that.âÂ
I hope I come back alive, he wanted to say. But given the topic matter, he didnât. Percy carefully folded the letter back up and handed it to Luke.Â
âThank you for telling me about her, man,â Percy said. âI⊠I know it canât be easy.â
Luke let out a shuddering breath as he stared at the closed letterâPercy wondered how many times he must have sat in this same position, reading her words. âNo better way to honor her memory than helping her brother.â He glanced at Percy. âI see a lot of her in you.âÂ
Heâd been wondering if he had anything in common with her. Percy felt a sudden flare of anger shoot through himâit wasnât fair that she was dead. Poseidon was a god, and she was a teenager. He should have saved her.Â
Percyâs mouth was drier than a desert. A part of him wanted to curl up in a ball and sob over the sister he never got the chance to know, but the other part of him knewâfrom what little Luke had told him about herâthat she wouldnât want him to.Â
âI should get going,â Percy said, standing up from the floor. âWe have to leave for the quest soon, and Annabeth and Grover are probably wondering where I am, andâŠâÂ
Percy trailed off, and Luke nodded in understanding. He turned around and took one of the photos off the wallâone of you alone in the middle of a park, wearing a bucket hat and absolutely beaming.Â
âYou deserve to have a part of her with you,â he said. âFor good luck.âÂ
He felt himself choking up, and he pushed it down as he accepted the photo. âThanks, man. It means a lot.â
âGood luck, Percy,â Luke said. âYouâve got a lot of people rooting for you.â
Percy found himself studying the picture of you once he made it outside, trying to memorize your face. With your wide, infectious smile that emanated pure sunlight, he could have mistaken you for an Apollo kid. But when he looked at you, he got that same warmth that he felt every time he imagined his father.Â
âI wonât let you down,â he murmured. âI promise.âÂ
-
After sleeping in his train seat for half the day, Percy vowed to never complain about his bed in Cabin Three again. He was gonna be going down to the Underworld with permanent cricks in his neck.Â
Grover was still sound asleepâPercy envied him for how easily it came to him in the worst conditionsâbut thankfully, Annabeth wasnât. Her gaze was focused on the view as their train chugged along.Â
Percy cleared his throat in a flawless attempt at getting her attention, and it worked.Â
âYouâre awake,â she said.Â
âUnfortunately.â Percy sighed. âHow much longer do you think itâll be?âÂ
âAnother day, at least,â she said. âAnd weâve got a layover in St. Louis.âÂ
âSt. Louis,â he hummed. âNice.âÂ
They sat in silence for a whileâthere wasnât much to talk about when they were coming off of twoâ or was it three, now?ânear-death experiences. But eventually, Annabeth cleared her throat, taking a page from his book, and it worked again.Â
âThereâ thereâs probably something you should know,â Annabeth said, and that worked even better than clearing her throat. âYouâre not the only Big Three kid to come through Camp Half-blood lately.âÂ
âI know,â he said. âGrover and Luke explained it.âÂ
Her eyes widened slightly and she leaned forward in her seat. âLuke did?âÂ
ââŠYeah. You all already told me about Thalia.â Percy glanced away, suddenly feeling a chill in the train car. âLuke told me about my sister.âÂ
Annabeth went silent.Â
âItâs okay,â he said. âI kind of annoyed Luke until he told me. Doesnât really seem like a subject people at camp like to talk about.âÂ
âIâm just surprised he did,â she murmured. âThey were⊠they were close, Percy. Her death destroyed himâThalia and your sister. All of itâs complicated.â Â
âYeah,â he sighed, âI got some of that.âÂ
âI only knew her for a year at camp, but everyone loved her,â she said. âShe was nice. Popular. Always helped when she could, always had the biggest, most infectious smile on her face.â Annabeth looked down at her hands. âShe didnât deserve the fate she got.âÂ
Percy didnât think heâd ever grieved so much for someone he never knew. âBut her and Lukeâwere theyâŠ?âÂ
âYeah,â Annabeth said, âthey were a thing, later on.âÂ
That seemed to be all she wanted to say on the matter. Percy decided not to push.Â
âHow did you meet her?â he asked.Â
Annabethâs lips pressed into a thin line. âI met her on the day I thought I would die.â
-
For the first time in her life, Annabeth Chase couldnât think.Â
It had all happened so fast. One second she was running with Luke and Thalia and Grover, praying to her mother and any other gods that would listen to make the horde of monsters let up even a centimeter.
The next, sheâd collapsed on the ground, never so grateful to have grass and dirt and dust in her face. But she could hear Luke yelling, barely able to make it out in her delirious stateâshe didnât know when sheâd last had a sip of water, and theyâd been running for at least three milesâbut he sounded hysterical.Â
She remembered her last clear thought: they werenât going to make it.Â
But they had. They had, so why was Luke losing his mind?Â
Annabeth pulled herself up from the groundâhow long had she been bleeding out of those slashes on her arm?âand looked for the rest of her friends. Luke wasnât yelling anymore, instead arguing with someone she didnât recognize in a bright orange shirt. Groverâs furry legs trembled as he stared down the hill theyâd just gotten up, completely silent, and ThaliaâÂ
Where was Thalia?Â
Annabeth tried to get up but her legs gave out almost immediately, and steady arms caught her before she could fall to the ground again. Kind eyes served to ease some of her panicâshe was older than Annabeth, maybe around Luke or Thaliaâs age.Â
ThaliaâÂ
âHey, youâre okay,â the voice said, and Annabethâs attention was drawn back to you. âIâve got you.âÂ
âWhereâs Thalia?â she blurted out, because now she couldnât think of anything else.Â
Your brows creased and you glanced back down the hillâAnnabeth did too, and she saw Grover and Luke arguing with each other. Or rather, Luke was yelling at him as Grover anxiously hooked his hands through his hair.Â
âI donât know,â you said, âbut right now, I need to make sure youâre okay. Are you hurt?âÂ
Annabeth absentmindedly held up her arm, but she was only focused on her friends. Why wasnât Thalia with them? Why was Luke so upset?
You cursed under your breath in Ancient Greek as you cradled her arm, and you looked back down the hill. Annabeth could see at least half a dozen other kids.Â
âWeâve got two half-bloods and a satyr, one injured!â you yelled back. âGet Molly and Brayden!âÂ
âThree,â Annabeth found herself saying. âThereâs three half-bloodsââÂ
âAnnabeth!âÂ
Her head shot up at the sound of Luke calling her name as he bounded over, and her eyes widened at the blood steadily spidering across the fabric of his shirt.Â
âLuke, youâre hurtââÂ
âIâm fine,â he insisted. âItâs fine.âÂ
âWe have Apollo kids coming,â you said, looking up at him, still cradling Annabethâs arm. âWeâll get yââÂ
Your sentence stuck in your throat, and Annabeth could see tears welling in your eyes as your brows furrowed. She thought Lukeâs eyes might burst out of his skull as he stared at you, his lips parted but nothing coming out. Neither of you were able to form words.Â
When he finally did get something out, it was a single name. One Annabeth knew by heart, one that heâd mourned for years.Â
âLuke?â you whispered.Â
Before he had the chance to do anything, two teenagers got over the hill and called out your name, the same one Luke used. He always said you were dead, but you clearly werenât dead, because you were here and you had her arm in your grasp and while your hands were cold, they werenât cold enough to be deadâÂ
âMollyâs gonna take care of you,â you said, looking back at Annabeth and cutting off her inner dialogue. âSheâll get you to the infirmary and heal you up, okay?âÂ
âMy friendsââÂ
âTheyâre gonna be okay too,â you said. âI promise.âÂ
Annabeth looked up at Luke, and he nodded. âWeâll be with you soon, Annabeth. Weâ we have to talk about some things.âÂ
So she went with Molly down the hill, and Annabeth put pressure on her bleeding wound when she told her toâit had started to sting like hell now that her adrenaline was fading.Â
She looked back just in time to see you and Luke share the tightest hug ever.Â
The hug of two people who realized they werenât seeing ghosts, Annabeth thought.Â
-
You bolted up in bed, eyes wide and your chest heaving as you rapidly sucked in air. Your fingers found purchase in your bedsheets, desperate for something familiarâit took a second for you to recognize your surroundings, that you werenât in an endless void, but your childhood bedroom offered little comfort. Â
You ran a hand over your forehead, damp with sweat, as you tried to calm down. Your breathing slowed, but you couldnât shake that awful feeling that hung over you in your sleep.Â
Your nightmares were getting worse, you knew that much. That raspy, demented voice used to be a rarity, and now it appeared every night. You could usually deal with your nightmares, but the sense of absolute dread that voice and the pit fostered in you was too much. You hadnât managed to sleep through the night once since you came home for the school year.
You could deal with the monstersâto you, this was the worst part of your godly blood.
A knock rattled on the door out of nowhere, and you nearly jumped out of your skin. The only thing that calmed you down was the thought that monsters didnât knock.Â
âCome in,â you croaked, your throat drier than a desert.Â
Thankfully, a monster hadnât come to make your night even more miserable. Luke stood in the doorway, his eyebrows creased in concern, messy curls hanging just above his eyes. He wore the Red Sox t-shirt youâd bought for him at the game you dragged him to, and in your addled state, you didnât even think to tease him about it.Â
âAre you okay?â He shouldâve been as disoriented as you, but his alerted eyes told a different story.Â
You could only think of one thing. âHow did you know?âÂ
Lukeâs lips parted for a moment, as if he hadnât even considered it. âI could just feel it.â
You managed a smile despite every atom in your body screaming at you. âI think that means you can come in.âÂ
He closed the door behind him, and you shifted over in your bed to make room for him. There wasnât much in a twin, but you made it work. Lukeâs weight pressed into the mattress, making you adjust your position, and it was more comforting than any amount of blankets.Â
âYouâre so cold,â he murmured, laying the back of his hand against your arm. âHow do you live like that?âÂ
âBlame my dad,â you said. âIâve got water in my blood.âÂ
âI think thatâs probably a bad thing,â Luke said, and you knocked your shoulder into his with a huff.Â
âYou know what I mean.âÂ
Luke let his hand fall back in his lap, and as you brought your knees up to your chest, you pulled the covers with them.Â
âSo,â Luke said, glancing at you, âwhatâs got you awake at the witching hour?âÂ
âThe usual,â you mumbled.Â
âNightmares that might be prophetic?â he asked.Â
You made a lazy gesture with your hand. âBingo.âÂ
âThe worst sense of dread imaginable?âÂ
âBullseye.âÂ
âIâm sorry,â he said.Â
You shrugged. âItâs nothing I canât deal with.âÂ
âYou donât always have to put on a front, yâknow,â Luke said. You felt his eyes on you. âYou donât always have to be strong.âÂ
âIâm naturally strong,â you said with mock austerity. âComes with the god for a dad.âÂ
Luke chuckled and shook his head. âYou know what I mean.âÂ
âYeah,â you murmured.Â
You leaned into his side, fitting your head into the crook of his neck. Luke wrapped his arm around you, pulling you closer, and you let out a contented sigh.Â
That voice in your nightmares seemed so small when you had Luke.Â
âCan you stay?â you asked softly.Â
He didnât hesitate. âOf course.âÂ
âJust like old times,â you whispered.Â
âJust like old times,â he agreed.Â
Luke ran hot, and youâd never been more thankful for it as you fully settled into his side. Icy blood ran through your veins, and you let out a shaky sigh. You could hear his steady breathing, feel his heartbeat through his chest, and the anxiety from earlier began to steadily fade. You never felt safer than when you were with Luke.Â
There was something between youâyou werenât that stupidâbut you hadnât talked about it. With you and Luke, it was just⊠you and Luke. You didnât have to put a label to it.Â
How could you put a label to your relationship, when youâd spent your first few years together fighting for each day, and then the next few thinking the other was dead?Â
Maybe someday, you would talk about it. But for now, this was more than enough.Â
âDonât worry,â Luke murmured in your ear as your eyes began to droop. âIâm not gonna let anything happen to you.âÂ
And by the gods, you believed him.Â

The reader is a brat, Mizu literally fucks the ever living SHIT out of her. Teasing and mocking until the reader is blabbing out apologies that are barely even coherent. SHI ION KNOW WHEN STRAPS WERE MADE BUT IF YOU BUST THAT OUT I WOULD BE VERY GRATEFUL đ and of course aftercare with lots of praise yk bc if ur gonna call me a slut at least kiss my face and call me ur pretty slut thank YEW
chimes of the shamisen.
Pairings: mizu x fem!reader
CW: nsfw, female reader, afab reader, wlw, letâs ignore the episodeâs events and the shindo dojo shit because yay sex, freaky asf obv, but first angst bc im evil kitty, bratty ass reader, argument, mizu is lowkey at fault for it too tho, but reader is still a bitch, hardcore sesbian lex, little bit of soft stuff sprinkled because I cannot write mizu going full on rough and angy with her lover, it feels ooc she would be atleast a little sweet :(, strapon use/harigata, the strap legit came outta nowhere, horny shit god, i genuinely donât know if this is classified as degradation but I hate degrading so hope not, crying, really fucking rough I donât think I ever wrote something this insane, not proofread.
A/N: ugh this lowkey turned out bad cause my tea was bad but im loving the stream of mizu requests I am absolutely feral over this woman like I want to kiss and hug her in my arms while also wanting her to tear off my clothes it ainât funny anymore I GENUINELY DONT KNOW HOW TO FEEL ABOUT WRITING EXTRA FREAKY MIZU BUT YER WELCOME. đŻïž
Blisteringly cold sweeps of wind swayed in the air in a near painful freeze as crystals of snowflakes sunk upon touching the bare skin of your hand, your tense shoulder pushed up against Mizuâs cloaked one in an attempt to seek a sliver of warmth against the stinging cold. It was currently nearing the end of the nullifying freeze of winter, spring approaching in supposedly a few weeks from now in hopes of thawing out the erected statures blanketed in a gentle white.
Both you and Mizu navigated your way through the dips and trails of each snow heaped pathway in the city, remaining side by side as you two shouldered past the hordes of people pouring in through Kyotoâs streets. Throughout your support for her during the perilous tread to find the remaining men she sought to kill, you had assumed the title of her supposed âwife,â while Mizu, still under the guise of a man, displayed herself as your husband.
Honestly, it was quite difficult to fathom why you were trailing behind this bloodthirsty woman, who would snap apart the bones of any living creature she came across for the sake of her wretched revengeâpulsing through every vein in her body, like an unrest that compelled her stubborn soul to live on. You always questioned yourself as you trudged by her side, eyes frequently staring down at your own feet buried in the thick layers of snow to ponder why your heart raced for a demon presumed to have nothing but hatred oozing from any noticeable crevice of light within her.
You nudged your fingers against her palm, reaching over as your knuckles came into contact with the calloused ridges of her own. Almost in a seemingly desperate sense, your fingertips danced along her skin occasionally as if you were pleading to hold her hand, only to end up cupping your hand around nothing as she pulled away with each gesture of yours seeking her affection. Mizu subtly nodded her head toward you, tilting her chin up to meet your gaze through the orange tint of her glasses.
âNot now. Focus on getting more information regarding Heiji Shindo.â
It was getting tiring. Annoying even.
Mizu initially proposed the idea of cloaking yourselves under the cover of a husband and wife to seek information, to which you agreed. Considering the two of you had been together for quite some time, you believed that it wouldnât hurt to cover yourself with an impenetrable front. Surely your false marriage wouldnât get questioned considering how touchy and affectionate you were with Mizu, proudly believing that such a plan would remain the same as usual.
Unfortunately for you, it might have to be time to come to terms with the fact that her revenge mattered more than you.
All of her recent actions reflected a strict focus to the goal she had set, refusing to indulge in even the smallest of pleasures with her own âwife.â You constantly strode alongside her through Kyotoâs crowded infrastructure, shielded by the overarching shadow of her kasa shrouding her face as she opened her mouth to inquire of the Shindo Dojoâs whereabouts left and right.
You couldnât bear to see her disappointed expression whenever she was ignored or directed incorrectly, one of the residents even leading her to a pleasure house, much to her discomfort. However, nothing served to dilate the pit in your stomach more than Mizu brushing you off, rolling her shoulder past you whenever she was fixated on gathering information about some piece of shit connected to one of the white men hiding in Japan.
You knew she didnât hate you. In fact, Mizu loved you like you were the most precious thing she had ever set her sights on. Held you and whispered in your ears that you were one of the only people that ever mattered to her, and how grateful she was to have you, all while you were hemmed in her overflowing grasp of affection. Yet, you were unable to help the twinge of discomposure swirling in your chest at howâŠcomfortable she felt neglecting you like this.
Of course in retaliation, you began to bite back at her lack of feeling towards you ever since you reached Kyoto under the disguise, growing increasingly despondent to the words that left her mouth. The annoyance alone she was able to inflict on you in these past few days was more than enough to fuel a minuscule revenge of your own. Youâd always snap back toward Mizu, words tinged with a short of sharp edge to them, & contrasting the usual gentle demeanor you often displayed for her.
Looking around the cramped lanes, you remained to Mizuâs side as her own eyes traced every inch of the vicinity, briefly tilting her glasses along the bridge of her nose to capture a clear view as darkness clouded the sky in a shrouding night. Rays of moonlight kissing the rippling bodies of water engulfing the bridge off at the end, accompanied by the muted lamps provided a faint expansion of light within such a late portion of day, some starting to die out into a smoky grey one by one.
A disappointed huff fell from Mizuâs lips at the sight of nightfall descending upon the two of you, striking a halt in the investigation that had been dragged out for the whole day. Although youâd never admit it to her, you wanted to breathe out a prolonged sigh of relief once your info gathering induction had ceased for the day, unsure of how much longer you could rasp out another word about the black market merchant.
â(Name). Weâre done for today, let me know if you find a decent place to rest.â
âShouldnât you look for one yourself? Itâs the husbandâs job to provide obviously.â You muttered, loud enough for Mizu to hear as you rolled your eyes.
âThis is a false front and you know it. Stop being so stuck up and just listen to me.â
âOr what? Fucking hell Mizu, is it stuck up to ask for a little attention from my girlfriend?â
The sudden announcement of your relationshipâs actual title cause her eyes to shoot wide open, cocking an eyebrow in evident disrelish toward your lack of compliance.
âYou know full well that weâre in the middle of something important, and youâre simply acting like an attention seeking child!â Mizu hissed under her breath, attempting to keep her voice subtle to avert any attention away from the two of you.
âI donât care. You just brush me off like I donât exist when youâre clearly supposed to act like my husband.â
âQuit acting so fucking bratty and maybe Iâll give you what you want after weâre done.â
âForget it, Mizu. Canât believe Iâm in love with a demon like you.â
You could almost hear Mizuâs breath hitch in her throat, swallowing back a lump as her lips remained parted in a frown. Her eyes roamed over you in disdain, brows knitting together as her eyelids lowered into a contorted expression of annoyance and hurt.
Regret clawed at your mind as you took in Mizuâs expression, clearly not displaying a particular fixation on hurt alone, but definitely harboring a chagrin of sorts. You felt your heart ache, realizing the words you had just uttered to your lover, unable to reflect upon what you just said to the woman you supposedly loved as she turned her back to you. Was she leaving you? Right here?
You jolted up at the sight of her head tilted over her shoulder to glance back at you, a cold expression still carved onto her already wounded gaze.
âAre you coming or not?â
Clearing your throat, you managed a soundless nod in response, the crunch of your footsteps being the only thing breaking the silence fostered between the two of you. A surge of anxiety crept up within you, the bitter taste flat against your tongue from the sheer feeling along worse than raw bile. What the hell was the matter with you? You claim you love her yet you struck a blow at one of her deepest insecurities? You couldnât even begin to comprehend how disgusted you were with yourself right now.
Your footsteps abruptly ceased their movements as soon as you noticed Mizuâs own feet, stationary and sunken in the snow as she eyed the large wooden building with a sign hammered along a plank off to its right in a messy fashion. She immediately pivoted in the direction of the paper door upfront, pressing her fingers to the wall to push it aside and make way as it disappeared the further it was slid.
Despite following suit, you had completely blanked out, mind fogged with nothing but a storm of plaguing thoughts and raw hatred for your earlier words lurching at your chest. In this very moment, you couldnât even begin to describe the guilt gnawing at the back of your head over and over. Similarly to a demon whispering in your ear endlessly to send you spiraling into madness.
No. You donât get to put the blame on a demon. You demeaned your beloved as an onryĆ despite claiming to love her. The only real demon here was you.
A swift tap dragged along your shoulder shook you out of your jaundiced trance, Mizuâs unfeeling eyes stabbing through yours as she stared you down.
âCome on. Thereâs a room available.â
You cocked your head in confusion, not following the series of events that followed while your mind was wandering off. A sigh pushed past her tongue as she looked over at you, an unamused look painted all over her face.
âThe room. Weâre staying at an inn for the night. Then we continue investigating tomorrow.â
âOh. Okay..â
That was all you could whisper out. Even speaking to her reminded you of that pained expression etched onto her face, draining the affection thay once presided in her blue eyes.
As soon as the door to your room slid open, such a minute detail presenting itself before you twisted like a dagger to your heart, feeling it drop to your stomach like a heavy stone. The two futons situated on the floor, one each big enough to fit both you and Mizu on it, yet still having two seperate beds against the floor far apart from each other. Was this some higher powerâs way of telling you that your relationship was done for?
Not wanting to be held back by spacing out again, you begrudgingly set your foot down within the confines of the room, stepping into it as you were drawn to the futon on the far left. Kneeling beside it, a somber tiredness masked your face as you stared down at the fabric, with a few slight wrinkles adorning its stretched edges. The futon was quite spacious as it was splayed out on the tatami mat, oddly comfortable as well as you ran a hand along the surface.
You paused for a moment, slowly turning a head behind your shoulder until you caught sight of Mizu in your periphery, intently transfixed on her grasping at the kasa in her hands before setting it down beside the end of her own futon, her tinted glasses following alongside her cloak in a small pile of discarded clothesâif you could even call such accessories that. The weights strapped to her arms and legs also loosened to the floor with a clank, joining the discard pile as she took in a deep breath.
Mizu almost immediately plopped herself atop the futon without so much as looking over at you, back facing you as she lay on her side with the weight of her head pressured atop her arm.
âBlow out the candle for me, will you?â
Averting your gaze from her back, you sluggishly padded over to the candle, each step you took burning your heels as you felt like you were carrying the deadweight of your own body. A quick rush of wind was expelled from your lungs as you puckered your lips to blow out the candle, the flame flickering momentarily before vanishing into a thin trail of smoke wavering in the air and stinging your nostrils.
The strong miasma of smoke you were close to began to swirl within your throat within the darkness of the room, breath hitching as your head fogged up from discomfort. Perhaps you should refrain from inhaling smoke, only idiots come close enough to purposefully take in the scent of an air that could beset your lungs.
Only idiots hurt the person they love, much less if that person has been hurt enough in their past.
Returning to your futon, you also proceeded to lay on your side facing away from Mizu, fighting back the urge to want to see her gorgeous face. You closed your eyes, albeit a bit hesitantly as you screwed them shut, wallowing the quiet, wordless atmosphere fostered in the darkness once dimly illuminated by a tiny flame.
Or rather, former silence.
Your eyes almost immediately shot open at the abrupt chime of a distant shamisen echoing miles away in the dead of night. The smooth strums continued to ring in your ears in a soothing, yet harsh melody. Strange. They often didnât hold any kabuki theater plays this late at night. You remained perplexed at the endless melodic chimes of the shamisen, yet oddly relaxed. Unable to comprehend the reason behind such a noise drifting through the streets so late, yet enjoying the comfort it enveloped you in.
Such a shame your comfort tore away from you, this night possibly being the last night you could even lay eyes upon your lover. You were sure youâd shattered everything you had with one simple comment alone. In this moment, you were no better than the man who had betrayed her in the past.
No.
No. You could never be apart from Mizu.
She was everything to you. You were nothing but determined to repair what you had supposedly shattered, using all you had to get the pieces to snap back together as with every ounce of internal strength you could muster if thatâs what it took.
You sat up in one fluid motion, weakly dragging yourself over to Mizuâs futon while swallowing back the urge to just head back and sleep, ignoring the notion that this wouldnât make it any better. Her body rose and fell with each breath she took in her slumber, eyes shut with a weary expression even as she slept. Without hesitation, you adjusted yourself to curl up directly behind her in a spooning position of sorts, arms encircling her waist almost immediately as you pressed your nose against her nape.
Mizu only shot you a quizzical glare, blinking groggily at the sight of your arms tightly fastened around her waist.
âYour bed is over there, you know.â
âThese futons are enough for two people. Besides, I want to sleep next to my husband.â You muttered against her skin, breath fluttering against her nape in a warm embrace. Her breath caught in her throat at the mention of the false title the two of you had to act on, muscles tensing up in your grasp.
âWhat if I kill you? I am a demon after all.â She reiterated, a bitter edge cutting a pang of anguish directly into the existing wound of guilt embedded within you. âI donât care..â you choked out in a shaky voice, dragging your lower lip between your teeth to suppress the tears stinging the corners of your eyes.
âIâm so sorry, Mizu.â
âŠ
The entire room fell silent once more, your heart threatening to burst out of your chest as soon as you felt the warm embrace of Mizuâs arms tightly curled around you, squeezing you to her chest as her face was buried within your hair.
âI shouldnât have brushed you off like that either.â
You shook your head against her chest, a few tears rolling down your cheeks as Mizuâs expression relaxed, softening as she held you close to herself. Both of you remained in eachotherâs embrace for a bit, relishing in the warmth of your wholehearted adoration. Despite the ridges that walled between you two at times, you would always come back to her. You know full well that she meant everything to you, while she reciprocated the same. She only hushed any more apologies spilling profusely from you, holding you tighter.
âPlease..Mizu..let me do anything to make it up to you. Anything at all.â
Youâll never forget the sudden flare of hunger roused in her pupils as those words vibrated in her ears, bare hands outlining your body up to dig into your shoulders. Her voice came out in a quiet hum as she pursed her lips together, shaky hands fighting the ravenous desire to yank down the shoulders of your kimono right then and there.
âAnything?â
It didn't take long for you to catch onto her implication, your breath fanning in a series of shallow exhales as your torso pressed to hers with an urgent desire aflame within every drop of blood, every rushing fiber within your body screaming her name. Tilting your head up, you only rasped out a breathless plea as your lips ghosted over Mizu's, her heart pounding furiously against her chest to which you could quite literally feel from the clothed chest to chest proximity.
A palpable heat crept into the air as it fogged the atmosphere between you two, the tension fostered thick with a lustful infatuation hinted with the beauty of love itself. You couldnât even pretend to hold yourself back, practically lunging yourself at Mizu as your lips smashed against her own, locking yourself in a passionate grasp accompanied by her hands wandering your body shamelessly as if she wanted to tear everything off without regard.
You gasped against her lips in response to her tightened hands bunching up fistfuls of your kimono silk, bundled up within her grasp as her tongue dragged along your lower lip, completely lost in the intense craving to devour you whole. Leaning back, you didnât resist her hands tracing the darkened silhouette of your figure to slide down the shoulders of your clothing, urging her to undress you completely as you writhed in the unbearable heat your clothes trapped you in.
It didnât take long for you to lay before her, flat against your back fully bare while your eyes lingered over Mizuâs now unclothed form as well, taking in every part of her nude body as you felt your face burn a deep crimson from the sheer beauty of the sight before your eyes. You couldnât help but lose yourself in those gorgeous blue eyes, now heavy lidded and misted over with a covetous desire boring into your own.
Her lips found their way across your skin, kissing down your collarbone and tracing to your lower abdomen, hands snaked below your thighs as her gaze fixed on yours from below. You heard the subtle echo of your heartbeat thudding in the clearing as Mizu halted her movements for a second, seemingly having a thought interrupt her sensual touches along your body.
âLove..? Is something-â
âHold on. I have something.â She interjected, reaching down into the discarded pile of clothing to scramble for a smallâor rather large, rectangular box, fitted perfectly into her grasp as she lifted open the lid carefully. Breath hitching at the sight, your eyes flickered over to the phallic object firmly curled between her fingers, the length a nasty contrast to her earlier gentle kisses. You blinked in surprise at the fact that Mizu just- had a harigata on her, opening your mouth yet quickly snapping it shut as you didnât exactly wanna question why she was carrying it around so casually.
You only responded to the sight with your heart throbbing in rapid beats, along in tandem with feeling a different kind of tingling fluttering between your thighs as you squeezed them shut upon seeing Mizu fasten the object around her waist.
â
âFucking hell- you like that donât you? You enjoy getting filled by a demon?â
Mizu hissed through her grit teeth as her hands squeezed at the flesh of your wrists, keeping them held down against the futon as her hips slammed forward into you to meet her skin against your with every fervent thrust. Your mouth hung open as your body jerked up everytime she bottomed out inside you, tear streaks coating your cheeks like a fashionable look to getting your insides wrecked by your lover.
Every wash of pleasure surged through your body as your walls accommodated to stretch out in response to the girth of her cock, clenching the velvety insides of your cunt to trap her inside, only to be met with her sliding the harigata out to drive back into you once more with a monstrous force. Eyes rolling back in bliss, you dragged your lower lip between your teeth in response to the rush of your blood igniting your body on fire, nails digging into Mizuâs back in response to the drag of her cock along your insides.
It was difficult to handle her rough movements ridging within the vice of your pussy, the tip of her faux cock circling that one spot inside you to drive you utterly insane. You were mad with lust as you clawed at Mizu for more whenever she paused, rolling your hips up with an aching need as a sinful ring of your slick, moist against the toy bounced off the walls of the room, only driving your girlfriend to drill you into the futon with a heightened arousal clouding her eyes.
Strings of incoherent cries and moans fell from your lips in a series of pathetic whimpers, wanton pants heaving your chest up and down as her cock lodged within you comfortably. Mizu grinded skin to skin with heightened desperation, using her strength to hold you down and reach that one spot that made you sob in ecstasy as she wrung you dry.
Her muscles tightened as her thrusts grew more rapid, face contorting in pleasure further on as if she was lost in it. She stared down at you as she fucked your into the futon harshly, grip tightening around your wrists and pushing you further without regard for anything but making you squirt all over the harigata. Strangely enough, her eyes shone with that same glint she harbored whenever she lusted for blood, brows furrowing as her pupils seemed transcendent and full hate, yet loving and burrowed in your pleasure.
âSay that you love it. Or are you so fucked out you canât even let out a pathetic whimper?â
She gasped out a breathy laugh in response to your sobs, only jamming her hips further into you in a seemingly enraged manner.
âOh? You canât even talk? Such a shame. Here I thought you had a problem with demons bastards like me?â
She leaned her face in nose length with yours, meeting eye to eye with you as she continued rolling her hips harshly against yours.
âSay it. Say youâre sorry.â
Her girthy cock sunk into you at the command, only earning a cry ripped from your lips while you stared at the perverse sight of the dildo sheathing in and out of you sloppily, her hand moving to grasp your cheeks together and elicit a sharp cry. Mizuâs relentless thrusts spun your mind in a haze of euphoria, making you sputter out an apology despite being fucked into the mattress roughly without stopping for even a split second.
âIâm- m- mmh-!â
She rolled her eyes at the pitiful attempt, squeezing your face to look at her while she plowed into you with each powerful thrust nearly knocking the wind out of you.
âMâsorry! Iâm sorry Mizu! I wonât ever- ah-! I wonât ever say that again please!â
You whined out, a smile crossing the womanâs features as she touched her forehead to yours, her thrusts keeping the same pace yet seeming far more controlled and gentle now. Mizu sighed against the crook of your neck, delicately peppering your skin to juxtapose her previously harsh and fervent movements against your poor, abused cunt. Her thumb darted down to circle your already swollen clit, hesitating momentarily before massaging the puffy bundle of nerves along with the gentle flurry of kisses along your collarbone.
It didnât take long before Mizuâs hips plunged deep within you, her cock making one final movement before your juices ran down the dildo to dampen the futon, staining it in a darker color pooled between your trembling thighs. Unfasting the strap, she carefully withdrew herself from your pussy, setting aside the harigata as she pressed up to your limp body in an affectionate hold. Arms encompassing your heaving body, pressing kisses to the shell of your ear in acknowledgment that you did in fact do well for her, Mizu showered you with every action she could to possibly make you feel loved.
After your breathing subsided, Mizu thoughtfully rested her chin against your shoulder, humming to herself in satisfaction as you let out a shaky exhale.
â(Name)?â
âMhm..?â
âI know weâre just putting on the whole husband and wife thing as an act but when we canâŠwhen I kill the remaining three..â
You tilted your head up, being met with a gentle kiss encompassing your body in a scorching flare of passion as she hemmed her arms around you tightly, like a promise to never let go.
âMarry me. Be my wife when everything is over. We can live away from everything. Iâll give you whatever you need- no..whatever you want.â
You were too spent to respond.
So with a smile, you manged a tender nod.

First kiss with bnd members and maybe how long it takes them to confess (maybe they wait for you to confess first tho idk)
omggg letâs gooo
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
pairing: bnd x reader.
warnings: none ? maybe suggestive for the legal line members.
summary: how would be your first kiss w bnd and how long would it take for them to confess/ or if you confess first.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
sungho; a first kiss w him would be so lovely omg, he would plan this for weeks and then when the time actually came and you two were finally alone, he would be sooooo nervous, his whole big boy façade would drop but that would honestly make it cuter. cheeks flushed while he softly pressed his lips against yours and held your frame with his strong arms, making you feel him so close your heart started to race. he would confess, it might take him some time (like a few months - one to three) but he would definitely do it.
riwoo; he would ask you a thousand times if you are okay with him kissing you, you would answer a thousand times yes and he would still ask again because honestly he couldnât believe he was going to kiss you and he definitely didnât want to mess it up and push you away. he could confess or you may need to do it yourself, it honestly depends on how shy he might be feeling. if he gathers the courage, heâll confess like within a month, he wouldnât do it faster just because he wants to make sure you like him back :(
jaehyun; omg he is such a simp đđ he would be sooooo obvious and everyone would know he likes you, itâs no secret to anyone. so one day he gets bold and compliments your lipstick, you making a joke of how cute it would look on him just for jaehyun to blush and ask if that meant he could kiss you. well, you were kinda dropping hints and gratefully he picked them up. as for the confession, do you really need one? he says everyday how much he likes you and enjoys spending time with you, so if he confesses itâll be while he asks you to date him :â)
taesan; he is kinda quiet so i donât think he would verbally ask for a kiss even if he is dying for one. so he would just look at you and smile, his heart beat accelerating when you got closer and smiled back at him âi dont want to be rude or anything but i think you are really cuteâ you would say and even before he answers you would continue âand this party is lit, but it could be better if we were making outâ, well, that was said and done. on the other hand, you may need to confess to this one, if he doesnât do it first with some playlists and a nice dinner, you will need to come forward !!
leehan; shameless. what can I say? he knows you like him cause heâs hot, he likes you too cause u also hot, so you end up kissing because the attraction was mutual. then u realize that you really like him and get nervous because his flirty ass has you confused and you donât know if itâs mutual :â) well, it is, he would confess it in the most nonchalant way âhey, i like you, would you like to go out sometime?â excuse you?!?? three sleepless nights for this, oh my.
woonhak; ok, hear me out. woonhak is a very extroverted individual, if he likes you, he wouldnât think it twice before confessing⊠truly a loyal boy, he knows what he wants and he wouldnât mind saying it out loud. but when it comes to kissing you?? he turns into this shy, sweet, gentle, trembling boy that would just giggle at everything you say and his cheeks would be flushed red. you would have to kiss him yourself for the first time, after that heâll take the lead.

âwhat the fuck do you two think youre doing?â
shit, you think, you didnt notice the balcony door had been slid open until you heard the voice of one of your brothers. you start to pull away from sunaâs lips which earns you a small whine from his end, his grip tightens around you and honestly it its quite cute the way he is trying so hard to savour the moment. âcome back later, weâre kinda busy.â the boy mutters before trying to move your face away from the distraction so that he can kiss you once more.
âsuna you get your hands off of her right now, i dont give a fuck that its your birthday.â osamu pipes up, he looks furious and a little bit disgusted, if it hadnt been for the situation youre in right now you would think its kind of funny.
âsamu lay off him, it was a mutual agreement, im just as guilty as he is ok?â that does not seem to help the boys understand, if anything they seem even more angry with you both.
âwhat the fuck do you mean it was a mutual agreement? are you two hooking up or something? yn he just turned 18 a few hours ago are you forgetting that?â atsumu says, he is rambling on with every excuse he can think of as to why this is âso wrongâ, from the corner of your eye you can see suna trying so very hard to hide the grin that is creeping its way onto his face, his hands still all over you despite the fact that you arent alone anymore.
âlisten, it was his birthday wish ok? i swear it didnât mean anything,â sunas grip begins to loosen ever so slightly, âi just though it would get him off my back and get him over his little crush on me.â sunaâs facial expression shifts but you choose to ignore it, you have bigger problems to deal with at the moment.
âno this is not ok, how would you feel if me or samu kissed one of your friends because it was their birthday wish?â
âthatâs different, why would my friends want to kiss either of you?â
âexcuse me? ill have you know that many women want to kiss me! and dont think youre getting off the hook either suna, ill make sure you never-â you dont even want to hear the threat that is about to come out of his mouth, you just want to get out of this shitty situation.
âboys please, just give us five minutes to talk and then we will be back inside ok? i promise.â your efforts to plead with your brothers finally work.
ââŠfine,â atsumu mumbles, âbut this better be a one time thing. im not gonna deal with you two being all lovey dovey around me.â and with that he lightly tugs on osamuâs sleeve, signalling him to walk back inside and continue the party. he closes the balcony door but not before bringing two fingers up to his eyes and then pointing them at the two of you. its a warning.
you turn back to suna and notice the sad look on his face - he looks kinda cute like this, âso, what do-â.
âdid you really mean what you just said to them?â the poor boy looks heartbroken, after waiting three years to finally have a chance with the girl he loves wants the moment is ruined like that? âdid you actually just do that so i would leave you alone?â his hands fully leave your body now and he takes a step back to put some distance between you two.
âwell i mean sort of yeah⊠ive never looked at you in any way other than my brothers best friend if im going to be honest, i dont know if thats because of the age difference or what but ive never thought we could be anything.â the look of hurt is prominent on his face no matter how hard he tries to hide it, normally playful banter would have been thrown back and forth between the two of you but rintarou just stays silent, an indication that youve fucked up.
âlisten suna i dont know what you want me to say, i wasnt really thinking when i said that to atsumu it just came out. i am 4 years older than you and many people would not approve of us if i decided to give you a chance.â
âwho cares? i could treat you so right if you would just let me. i have waited entirely too long for this moment, all im asking for is one date.â
âyou said that about the kiss too, one thing is never enough with you is it? you always need more.â a playful smile creeps onto your face which is outshined by the one on sunas, he knows that your smile means that you agree to go on a date with him.
âi really hope you arent fucking with me right now, that would be so cruel, especially on my birthday.â
âoh give the birthday excuse a rest now will you? you dont need to keep on at me you have already got what you want.â
âmhm i absolutely have,â he walks closer and once again wraps his arms around you, placing a hand under your jawbone to make you look up at him, âand i couldnt be happier.â he states as he pulls you in for a passionate kiss once more <3

Hi can i request a Luffy x fem!reader where the pair are just two dumb idiots together like the reader has a personality like his (overly enthusiastic and optimistic) and they do everything together but they both dont realize that the like eachither (bc again dumb idiots) and the crew works tgt to make them both realize and get them to confess to eachother?
DESCRIPTION: Youâre just as clueless as Luffy and the crew have to intervene to make you both realise your feelings
WARNINGS:Â none
CHARACTERS: Luffy
WORDS: 1,734
A/N:Â Thank you for this request. I honestly didn't know how to make this work in the beginning but I'm happy with how this fell into place. Hopefully you like what I came up with
*REQUESTS ARE OPEN*
MASTERLIST | PROMPT LIST
âââââââ
Once upon a time the Strawhat crew believed that their Captain was one of a kind. They took his energetic nature, clear motivation to only do what he wanted as his current mood directed without any thought beyond that, stubbornness, and still unwavering joy in the face of most things as the concoction that could only be Luffy. However they were all collectively shocked when you crash landed into their lives and promptly made them realise that everything that made Luffy his loveable yet exhausting self was also very clearly what made you you too and when you and Luffy first interacted it was like two points finally connecting, never to separate.Â
All their adventures before you came along seemed like such a breeze, how naive they had been in those days to consider it difficult to keep up with Luffyâs optimism and spontaneity. After you joined the crew if felt like double the work. It didnât matter if they had eyes on one of the chaotic pair you two created because without the vigilant supervision over both of you, it only assured a disaster that could have been avoided. It never mattered to you or Luffy because at the end of the day you two would be laughing and telling the drained crew that it had worked out in the end and that there had been nothing to worry about. After a while it wasnât the lack of thought to the crew and their wants of an easy time on an island to explore that frustrated them, it was the fact that you and Luffy still hadnât realised you had feelings for each other and continued to act like oblivious morons every single day while also so clearly showing them and anyone else you interacted that you were two idiots in love.Â
âTheyâre doing it on purpose.â Nami muttered one day, arms folded tightly across her chest as she glared at you and Luffy running about the deck of the Sunny, laughing and chasing Chopper without a care in the world. Suddenly Luffy grabbed one of the masts and propelled himself through the air. Chopped managed to dodge but you ended up being the one Luffy tackled loudly onto the ground. There was a beat of silence before the two of you burst out into loud laughter once more, doing nothing to move out of the position you were currently in. âThey have to be doing it on purpose. Theyâre evil geniuses.â
âDonât give them so much credit. Theyâre both just blind to how they really feel.â Zoro disagreed from his spot in the shade, opening his good eye to look you and Luffyâs way. âDonât know how many times the stupid cook and I have brought it up. Luffy just believes he loves them the same way he loves us as his crew.â
âOh no, thatâs a very different kind of love compared to what he feels for us.â Usopp said with a small shake of his head. He supposed that the only reason this whole matter hadnât been resolved yet was because of your personality. Anyone else would have been more aware of the difference and clear feelings and actually talked things out with their Captain. Everyone seemed to let out a collective sigh of exhaustion and resignation. All of them wishing-more for their own selfish peace of mind more than anything- there was something to be done and help you both realise your feelings.
It wasnât until a week later that the crew stopped at a new island to relax and enjoy while they waited for the Log Pose to set. While some took to resupplying the ships, others took to exploring. You werenât exactly annoyed that you hadnât gone with Luffy, you were just confused at why Usopp and Nami insisted on you joining them on their shopping trip and no one else coming with them. Had they had a fight with some of the others on the crew that you werenât aware of? You certainly hoped not, you didnât like the crew fighting amongst themselves.Â
âAre you sure this is going to work?â Nami whispered to Usopp as they remained a couple paces away from you. Operation: Divide and Conquer might have had a good name but the strategy didnât seem all that good except try and get you to confess to Luffy by either making you jealous or straight up lying. If they couldnât get through to you, they would try the same tactic with Luffy.
âIt has to!â Usopp hissed back, quickly throwing you a nervous smile when you looked over your shoulder with a curious tilt of your shoulder. âHey letâs go in here!â He called out in a panic, pointing to the closest store. You stopped and shrugged, going along with whatever the sniper wanted. You had nothing to buy on this trip so you were just here for company and fun. Still this wasnât what youâd thought would be on his or Nameâs shopping list.
âIs someone getting married?â You asked, looking around the store filled with elegant gowns, robes and suits. Suddenly your eyes lit up as you hurried to hug Nami and Usopp tightly, so this was why they had insisted on you coming with them. You couldnât fully understand why they were being so secretive but it didnât matter given how overcome with happiness for them. âYou guys! Iâm so happy for you both! Have you told the others?! Are you getting married on the island?âÂ
âWHAT?! NO! â Nami blurted out in shock while Usopp could only shriek at the implication. âWeâre not getting married!â
âOhâŠthatâs a shame.â Your smile fell slightly. âI always thought you two made a nice couple. Guess I was wrong. So who is getting married?â You asked, staring intently on your friends who stammered and struggled to think of something. Operation: Divide and Conquer was crashing and burning around them and their brains all but blanked as together they rambled together while you patiently listened. Neither of them really knew what theyâd told you or knew if it made any sort of sense but you seemed to accept it and continued with your day with the frazzled pair.
When you returned to the Sunny later that day you went to your usual perch of the railing near Sunnyâs head. Silently you thought over what Usopp and Nami told you and were beginning to work it out in your head when Luffy appeared beside you with a bright grin. âHey, whatâs got you so frustrated looking?â He asked, oblivious to the rest of the crew on the deck; all of them pretending to go about their business when they were only making sure they were close enough to hear.Â
âIâm thinking about Usopp.â You explained in a dazed tone, absently running your fingers along your bottom lip, deep in thought. Luffy frowned slightly while different sets of eyes glanced Usoppâs way, all confused about what he and Nami did while they were alone with you. âIâm trying to work out this wedding.â
âUsoppâs getting married?â Luffy asked. On the one hand he was happy but on the other hand he thought Usopp would have told him personally. âTo who?â
âThatâs what Iâm trying to work out.â You mumbled before taking a deep breath, deciding to start from the beginning. âUsoppâs enemy wants him to marry their princess to avoid a great battle but he doesnât want a fight or to get married so he needs to make them think heâs already married so they donât get angry right? He needs Sanji to cater the wedding, Brook to preform the music, and Zoro to be his bodyguard so theyâre out. Nami said because sheâs giving Usopp the money for the wedding thatâs the only favour sheâs doing and wonât marry him as well because thatâs not fair. Usopp said he canât marry Franky or Robin because theyâre like his parents and Chopperâs a reindeer and thatâs weird. Which leaves us.âÂ
The more you explained the situation the more Usopp and Nami shrank towards the floor out of despair and embarrassment. Why had you believed that nonsense enough to now relay it to the entire crew who were now looking at them in bafflement. Through it all Luffy hadnât taken his eyes off of you. He didnât want Usopp to be forced to be married to someone he didnât like but it didnât stop him from quickly turning on his heel and looking to his friend. âUsopp Iâll marry you!â
âYou canât marry me dumbass!â Usopp shouted back making Luffy glare, all but standing in front of you to block you from Usoppâs stare.
âWell youâre not allowed to marry them. So itâs me or the princess.â Luffy told him with defiance in his eyes.
âWhy canât he marry me?â You asked curiously while getting to your feet, watching Luffy blink as he only now considered his fierce sense of protectiveness and possessiveness towards you.Â
âBecause I donât want him to?â He suggested with a shrug. âI donât want you to marry him, I donât like it.â
âWell I donât like you being married to Usopp.â You added, voicing your own reluctance and unhappiness at the thought of Luffy marryingâŠwell anyone. There was a silent exchange between you and Luffy as though you were communicating in your own way through a look alone. Together you both grinned with a faint blush creeping across your cheeks as you both whipped your head towards Usopp and declared in unison. âUsopp youâre marrying the princess.â
While it hadnât been the grand romantic epiphany the crew had been expecting to witness, they could tell that a shift between you both had occurred. There was something a little more intimate between you both while you both remained your happy, energetic selves. No one on the crew had the heart to tell either of you that Usopp had been completely lying about the arranged marriage so they never mentioned it again. They were however all in agreement that if it ever was brought up it was to be brushed aside and explained as a story Usopp had been thinking of writing and nothing more. But from the looks of things slowly developing between you and Luffy they could all see that it was shaping up to having a happily ever after. Â

lol crying headcanons??
Ponyboy Curtis
He is a quiet crier
Like he just sits with his mouth slightly open and his eyes shut for a moment before he just lets out the quietest, most pitiful sob youâve ever heard
Heâs very sniffly and gaspy when he cries
I feel like heâs the type to apologize for crying because he has a toxic mindset when it comes to emotions
âIâm sorry, I *gasp* donât know wh- *gasp* what happened, IâŠâ
He canât even finish his thoughts
He kinda likes to be held when he cries. He never openly admits it but the gang knows he just likes to be hugged so he can bury his face in someoneâs shoulder
NEVER cries in public. Ever.
He waits until he gets home and locks himself in his room
Sodapop gets to him the fastest in terms of calming down. Darry is still learning but heâs Ponyâs second best bet
He always cries after a nightmare. Every single time.
Soda wakes up almost every night to Ponyâs face buried in his chest while he just trembles and he feels his chest getting wet with tears and snot
He doesnât mind at all
One time Pony actually went to Darry and nearly scared the shit out of him until Darry realized it was just Pony
Hes very hiccupy too when he cries
Sodapop Curtis
Oh my god, the loudest crier youâll ever hear
He sounds like heâs being strangled when he cries (out of sadness or anger at least)
Hes a huge bawl baby. Iâm sorry. Even as a baby he constantly screamed and cried.
When heâs genuinely sad he literally just dinks to his knees. Heâs not even trying to be dramatic. Itâs like everything is weighing on his so hard he canât stand up
When heâs angry crying thatâs when you know heâs on the verge of yelling. He only goes off on Pony and Darry one time and it was directly after the death of their parents because Pony said something downright nasty to Darry about how if it werenât for his birthday their parents would be alive and Darry shoots back with if Pong used his head more maybe they wouldnât have had to go back for it
And Soda just bursts into tears and blows up
âSHUT THE FUCK UP! BOTH OF YOU! YOU DONT FUCKING TALK LIKE THAT ON MY PARENTS NAMES! YOU DONT FUCKING DO THAT! THEIR DEATHS WERE NEITHER OF YOUR FAULTS SO DONT YOU DARE FUCKING SAY THAT! DONT SAY THEIR GODDAMN NAMES IF YOURE JUST GONNA USE THEM IN YOUR ARGUMENTS! DONT EVER SAY THEIR FUCKING NAMES AGAIN!â
Pony and Darry just go quiet because Soda is standing there trembling like a chihuahua, tears streaking down his cheeks, his blonde hair a mess and his cheeks red as he quietly gasps for air and hiccups between words
That was the only time he ever really fully angry cried
When he happy cries heâs a straight up delight
His cheeks get all rosy and he has this big smile and he just lets out a mic between a laugh and a sob as he gathers whoever made him happy enough to cry in a bone crushing hug
Hes genuinely a pretty crier (fuck him honestly like stop being pretty for two seconds god)
His cheeks get all red and his brown eyes get all glimmery. Heâs straight out of a fucking soap opera I swear
Bro uses up all his fuel crying. Whatever emotion it is afterwards heâs always like âDarry I want food :/â
Darry Curtis
Darry likeâŠnever cries. Ever.
But honestly? When he does cry heâs having a full blown mental breakdown or something has to happen to make him cry
In the book, Pony kinda said his chest shook when he sobbed and I kinda see that happening
He tends to tremble a lot when he cries. His hands get all shaky. Thatâs usually the first indicator heâs working himself up.
Second indicator is that his legs start bouncing and he starts pacing like a caged animal
Then he just starts sobbing. And itâs rough.
Like in the book I feel like when Pony came back he just ended up holding Pony in a bear hug while he ugly cried into Ponyâs shoulder
Heâs kind of a mess when heâs crying
He tries to soothe himself but honestly it doesnât really work. So Sodapop takes over for a bit.
Soda knows exactly what to do and post book, Pony starts helping more too
Soda is the one to ground Darry when he cries. Heâll hold Darry, rub his back, rub his neck, play with his hair, whatever
Pony is more vocal. He helps bring Darry back to reality because usually Darryâs crying bouts come from anxiety and things from the past that pop up and give him a hard time
Pony knows all the breathing exercises and tends to help Darry out a lot with regulating breathing
Darry honestly just needs alone time after he cries. He cries so hard sometimes he just needs to go to sleep after
When this happens, Soda and Pony will do little things around the house. They fold the laundry, wash the dishes, one time they even deep cleaned his truck
They also leave little notes of envouragment around where they know Darry will see it. That also helps calm him down.
maybe iâll make a pt 2 lol
