part twelve word count : 2,146

your sleepover with Choso had not gone unnoticed by both Yuji and Sukuna. after finishing breakfast with Choso, you’d indulged in a long-awaited nap. when you woke up and found him still sound asleep, you thought it was the perfect time for a bathroom break. the only problem? Choso shared a bathroom with Sukuna. 

as you quietly closed Choso’s bedroom door with a soft click, a throat cleared, startling you like a bucket of ice water had been dumped over your head. you slowly turned to see Sukuna standing in his doorway, a hand on the knob, his expression unreadable. 

“you’re… still in your pajamas.” he murmured, his tone a strange blend of question and statement. 

you weren’t sure why you felt anxious; after all, he’d been mia for god knows how long. as you tried to decipher his mood, you realized you were never good at picking up on his cues. 

if you had been, you might have braced yourself for the sudden, loud slam of his fist against the wall.

“shhh!” you hissed, pressing a finger to your lips and silently hoping he hadn’t just woken Choso – let’s face it, the guy could probably sleep through anything.

“I think I might throw up.” Sukuna growled, storming toward the bathroom and slamming the door behind him hard enough to rattle the walls. you stood there, mouth agape, trying to process what had just happened.

fortunately, Choso remained asleep when you tiptoed back into his room. you decided it was a good idea to wait until he was awake before leaving his room again. 

after that, Sukuna had literally vanished from the house.

two days later, he still hadn’t come home. two days later, and you hadn’t slept in Choso’s room again. two days later… and you were falling in love.

Choso had thrown himself into being attentive, practically anticipating your every need. want a snack? he was off the couch before you could even think about it. feet sore from a night out with Yuji? he’d whisk your shoes off and start rubbing your feet right away. it was like he was made for this; providing you with attention and care without missing a beat. 

now, you lay on his bed while he played with your hair, one hand gently stroking your head and the other flipping through tv channels. you were practically purring with every soft caress, and he adored it. 

“can I ask you something?” Choso suddenly said, his hand still massaging your scalp. you nodded lightly, keeping your eyes closed in bliss. “you haven’t stayed in my room since that night. is it because I did something wrong?”

your eyes flew open as you sat up, your expression softening at the sight of his blush. “oh, Choso, no – you didn’t do anything wrong. I just… thought it might be weird for everyone else if I stayed in here all the time.” and secretly you worried about what would happen if Sukuna saw you leaving again.

“who cares what they think?” Choso pouted, giving you those puppy-dog eyes while his hand relaxed on the back of his head. “do you want to sleep in here?”

you hesitated for a moment, your heart racing at the invitation. “I mean… I’d love to.” you replied, a small smile creeping onto your face. “but what if you get sick of me?”

Choso shrugged, a playful glint in his eyes. “like I could get sick of you. unless you drool on my pillow again, then yeah I might get a lil sick of you.”

you slapped his arm while your mouth dropped open. “it was the one time! we’d just pulled an all-nighter!” he threw his head back in laughter, the sound like music to your ears. “if I promise not to drool, do you want me to stay in here tonight?” 

“tonight it is!” he said with a grin, relief evident in his face. he shifted to make space for you, and you settled in beside him, feeling the warmth radiate from his body.

as you lay there, the soft hum of the tv in the background as the two of you watched netflix, you found yourself stealing glances at Choso. his brows furrowed in concentration as he watched Bridgerton (you’d gotten him hooked), and you couldn’t help but smile at how cute he looked.

if he had noticed you staring, he didn’t show it, but when he reached for your hand to intertwine your fingers you felt a thrill shoot through you. he hadn’t moved his eyes from the tv, although you could feel his body warm at the contact with yours. you leaned your head against his chest, hearing his heartbeat start to pick up.

“are you getting comfortable?” Choso asked as his hand returned to stroke your hair, lulling you into a blissful state.

“mhm.” you purred as he gave light scratches to your scalp, tracing down your back softly. “but I want to watch Anthony confess to Kate, so I’m not falling asleep just yet.”

“the tension between them has been physically unbearable to watch all season.” Choso groaned and you chuckled at his enthusiasm. when he caught you laughing at him, he pinched your shoulder in retaliation. “I’m just saying, they both have been drooling over each other every episode!”

“you can’t blame them, it can be hard to confess your feelings to someone.” when you realized your words might seem like a jab at him, you quickly continued. “at least in their situation, he’s courting her sister.”

“at least you don’t have a sister I have to get through.” Choso smirked down at you, a teasing glimmer in his eyes. “even though it did take me too long to confess.”

the two of you had watched two more episodes, both commenting back and forth about the Bridgerton drama. everything felt right in your world – Choso was softly giving you affectionate touches, you’d gotten him addicted to rom-com tv, and you were blissfully happy. 

“Choso?” you whispered, nuzzling into his shirt. he hummed in response as he set his chin on top of your hair. “how soon is too soon?”

his heartbeat picked up faster under your ear. if you’d been looking at him, you would’ve seen his cheeks flush pink immediately. “for what?” he asked.

it was all too easy to get him flustered, and the thrill of it drove you mad. your hand caressed his abdomen, traveling lower and lower, slowly aiming for his waistband. once your fingers danced along the edge of his sweatpants, you felt him tense.

“oh.” Choso breathed, body going rigid as you continued to dip your fingers just below the waistline. “I-I don’t think there’s such a thing as too soon.”

“hm, you don’t?” you teased lightly before lifting your chin to gaze up at him. sure enough, his face was hot and red as he stared back down at you. “do you wanna…”

“yes.” his answer came out as fast as lightning, before he grabbed your chin and pulled you up to kiss you. when his lips met yours, you immediately open your mouth to allow his tongue to spit-swap with yours. Choso groaned as your hand dipped fully underneath his pants to palm his growing erection under his boxers. 

only seconds into teasingly rubbing him and he had flipped you over to land on top of you, grinding his clothed dick into your hips as he panted into your mouth. Choso’s hands worked their way up your top, pulling your bra down to rest underneath your tits and groping at them.

“fuck, I just can’t get enough of you.” Choso groaned as he dipped his head into your neck, lightly sucking on your skin as you arched your back to meet his rolling thrusts. “wan’ t’ make you feel good.”

within a mere minute, Choso removed all of your clothing as well as your own. you’d been too embarrassed to really look at his dick the first time, worried about your own image, but now – you felt warmth pooling between your legs at the sight. his bright pink tip leaked pre-cum already as he pumped himself with one hand, prepping himself before he settled between your legs.

Choso teased your puffy lips with his head, dragging his leaky cock over your clit tantalizingly as he leaned down to capture your already open mouth in his. as he deepened the kiss, driving his tongue inside you, his dick pressed further into you while just the tip has you moaning out his name.

“oh fuck, Cho, you – you’re so big.” you whined as your eyes rolled back, expanding for him as he ventures deeper inside of you. 

just those words have Choso bottoming out with a quick thrust, his balls slapping against your ass just as you feel his tip kiss your cervix. “ohhhh shit, angel.” his hips thrust again, giving you every inch. “feel s’ fucking good.”

your mind was already a puddle of mush as he drove into you, every pull and push of his cock driving you to madness. when Choso's hand flattens over your lower abdomen, pushing down slightly, you feel your walls tighten where he was pressing to accentuate every bit of his veiny length. 

Choso fingers moved to press against your clit, making small and absolutely maddening circles that made you whimper. his fingers applied more pressure, eliciting a loud moan of his name from your lips and causing your legs to clench around his hips. his pace picked up faster and faster, until he was gasping for air while he watched you blissed out below him, the sight almost sending him over the edge immediately. 

“yes – hah – please right there.” you’re drooling already, your fingers weaving through Choso’s hair as his eyes fall shut with pleasure. his bicep twitches next to your head, fist gripping the sheets as he uses every ounce of his strength to fuck you just right and rub your clit at the same time. you can feel the knot in your stomach becoming tighter and tighter, so close to snapping. as your cunt clenches and flutters around him, Choso’s struggles to plow through your tightening walls with his thrusts. 

“that’s it, angel, just like that.” Choso babbles through the pleasure coursing within him, and when you drive your hips to meet his every thrust he just about loses it. “fuck – wait wait – slow down I’m –“

before he can finish his sentence, your orgasm rips through you, electricity thrumming down your veins. your back arches so deeply into the mattress as your pussy contracts around his cock. you’re too high to even form the words to tell him you’re coming, but based on how Choso starts rutting into you, he can feel it.

“ohh – fuck – please. you’re so fuckin’ tight I’m gonna cum.” Choso whines, eyes scrunching shut as his hips become sporadic in his attempt to find his last bit of strength to work you through your orgasm. 

you’ve barely begun to come down before he’s bottoming out, his dick pulsing before shooting your pussy full with streaks of thick cum. you can hear the lewd squelches coming from your cunt as he lazily fucks into you through his orgasm, stuffing you to the brim with every ounce of his seed.  

“shit Choso.” you moan as his forehead settles on yours, sweat slick on both of them. you panted as you looked at him, his eyes fucked out as he settled slowly from his release. 

“wanna hear something really stupid?” Choso whispered softly, his breath warm against your skin as he leaned in to place a gentle kiss on your lips. 

“wh-what?” you stammered, your heart racing.

he pulled back just enough to meet your gaze, a playful glint in his eyes. “I’m beginning to think I’m addicted to you.” he confessed, a shy smile spreading across his face.

you felt a flutter in your chest, caught off guard. “addicted?” you echoed, a mix of surprise and amusement flooding through you.

“yeah.” he said, his voice low and raspy. “I can’t help it. you’re just… so fucking perfect.” his fingers brushed against yours, sending shivers down your spine.

“so, you’re not going to get sick of me then?” you teased, and Choso swore that as your laughter followed he could feel your pussy walls flutter around his softening cock. 

“don’t get cocky just yet, angel.” Choso hummed in amusement before dipping his fingers between your bodies. “that’s still yet to be seen.”

as you were giggling, your breath suddenly hitched when Choso fingers pinched your sensitive clit. your eyes sparked as you looked at him, a wicked smirk spread across his lips when he began to rub circles around the nub. with one more pinch, he leaned his face down to whisper in your ear.

“might just have to keep testing it.”

Only a few more days. 

A few more days for all of the pilots to show that they could make it through the training exercises. That they could make it through this mission and come home. That was the most important part to Jake, the coming home part. He needed to come home. 

So when Maverick flew the mission successfully and no one else had, Jake felt a sort of relief. Perhaps it would be him and Maverick up there, Mav as team leader and Jake, his wingman, and he’d be fine with that. Seeing Maverick fly it successfully upped the game for everyone though and not only did Jake come out on top with the fastest time after Maverick, but he had earned the trust of those in the dual aircrafts to where he’d somehow instilled confidence enough in Payback and Fanboy to fly it successfully behind him and hit the target.

When Maverick stood up there, in front of the room, and picked the teams, Jake shed tears, a mixture of excitement and fear for what was to come. “The Team Leader will be Hangman.” He’d said. “Your wingman will be Rooster...And your two Foxtrot teams will be Phoenix and Bob, and Payback and Fanboy.”

🛩️🛩️🛩️

When Jake stepped down out of his truck and walked up the stairs to the front door of Sam’s house, he felt like his whole body drained of blood. How was he going to tell her? Hey, I'm mission leader, I'll be gone for a week or so when you need me the most? Jake's brow knit and he felt a wave of anxiety rush over him. What if she called off the engagement then and there? He couldn't think about that right now. 

It was Sam who answered the door, and Rocco was right behind her. Jake knelt down, picking the little dog up and scratching him all over, but once he stopped and put him down, he saw the expression on Sam’s face. She’d folded her arms across her chest and she was for sure on the verge of tears.

“Nat texted me.” She said, her voice crackly. Jake pulled her into a tight embrace and she broke down, sobs wracking her body for what felt like the millionth time that week. He tried his best to console her, but there was nothing he could do. The only thing was for him to not go on the mission, but that was out of the question. Part of him had wanted this, but part of him was unsure. Part of him didn’t want it at all.

“I don't want to lose you too, Jake.” She whined quietly as he rubbed small circles on her lower back. His lips touched her temple softly.

“I’m sorry. I didn’t honestly think I was going to get picked. I thought it was gonna be Mav and Rooster after yesterday, but they won’t send Mav. Cyclone won’t risk his career. And I get that. I couldn’t have gotten this without you, Sam. I couldn’t be a team leader without your help. My team actually trusts me to fly this mission and I’m gonna do my damndest to bring everyone home safely.” Jake explained, as he smoothed his hand over her hair and rubbed the back of her neck. This calmed her enough to look up at him.

“You had better come home, Jake. I need you.” Sam demanded, through the tears stinging her eyes, and through broken but soft cries. Her fingernails dug into his chest, grasping at him as if she would die if she let him go.

“I will. I promise.” Jake said, holding her tight to his body. “Now...I've got the night to do whatever I want. So what would you like to do, babygirl?” He asked, wiping tears away from her cheeks with his shirt. She sniffled and stretched up to ask for a kiss, which he willingly gave.

“I just wanna spend it with you, in your arms.” She said, and Jake nodded.

“You wanna stay here or go back to my place? Javy will be out with his new lady friend.” Jake asked, figuring he knew what her answer would be. She simply yelled back into the house that she was going to Jake’s for the night, then shut the door behind her. She didn’t even grab extra clothes. She’d just steal one of his shirts later.

“Let’s go.” She took his hand and directed him toward his truck. Jake hoped the night didn’t go by too quickly. He wanted to savor it.

🛩️🛩️🛩️

Jake had ordered pizza for them, and they had started watching a movie while they ate, but after some time during the movie, Sam had begun to nod off. “I don’t want to fall asleep yet...it’ll make the morning come and you’ll have to leave.” She said, yawning and Jake smiled weakly. She was right. 

“We don’t have to. C’mon, I’ve got somethin’ else in mind to occupy us for a bit.” Jake said, pulling her to her feet and guiding her toward the stairs. They began making out, chaste kisses and light touches at first, but as they neared his bedroom, the intensity of their desire rose. He didn’t bother turning the light on, letting the full moon’s light shine through the balcony door. As he guided Sam to the bed, he removed his shirt, his tags jingling around his neck. The silver of them caught in the light and glinted, reminding Sam of the mission he was about to embark on and how every day from now on was not promised. 

As he hovered over her, she admired the way the low light highlighted his muscles and the shadows contoured them. She had a newfound appreciation for the way they flexed, in tension and release as he began to pleasure her. She enjoyed the sight of his well defined, veiny hands and arms as they glided under her shirt and over her bare, tanned skin. She observed as he dragged her pants down her thighs and then pulled at her panties with his teeth. She loved the way his cheeks framed his smile, the long and defined dimples causing an infectious burst of happiness for Sam every time she saw them. She watched intently as his smirk grew even more after placing a kiss just below her belly button. His eyes seemed to sparkle in the bright moonlight, reflecting lasciviousness back to her. 

He reached up, large hands cupping her breasts and flicking her nipples as he poked his tongue out to taste her. She was hot under his touch, even in the cool air of the night. His fingers brushed lightly over her curves as he began to lap at her already soaked folds. She was sweet and warm around his tongue, and he was more than ready to up the ante. As he continued licking and sucking at her clit, he pushed his jeans and boxers down his hips and kicked them to the side. He’d pushed her shirt up earlier, but now he removed it completely. She arched toward him, her hips begging him to go further.

“You’re so ready for me, huh babygirl?” He affirmed and as moans began to roll off her lips she could only squeeze his biceps to give him the okay to continue. Her nails dug in as he lined himself up, then he leaned down to capture her lips in a hungry kiss before pressing inside slowly. Painfully slow. It wasn't until Jake bottomed out, that Sam realized just how good he felt. 

“Jake, I just wanna stay like this forever.” She sighed, relaxing as he began to move his hips. He was cautious at first, testing himself, and seeing if she realized what exactly was going on. She'd said the other day that unprotected sex wasn't out of the question, but had she realized that he'd slipped inside her bare yet? 

“Yeah? Want me to stay inside you forever? I can do that.” Jake mused, leaning down to touch his lips to hers. She moaned into his mouth as his tongue tangled with hers, which sent sparks through her and made her pussy clench around him. That was plenty of signal for him to speed up, just slightly, just enough to create a little friction between them. He sat back, taking in.the aight of her in the low light, and how the shadows seemed to hug her curved features so beautifully. The moonlight accented her gorgeous tanned skin, and the way it framed her body made Jake's brain go slightly fuzzy. 

He glanced down at where they were joined and took a few moments to watch how easily his length slid in and out of her. He kept a hand wrapped around her hips and placed the other over her lower stomach, admiring how he could feel the soft muscles of her abs flexing in building pleasure underneath his fingers. Sam was lean but not cut or toned like the few women he'd worked with in the Navy. She had curvy hips, an ass to die for, and tits that fit perfectly in his large hands. He loved her body and he loved how everything tightened up when he fucked her. He loved seeing what he did to her, the flushed pink on her cheeks when he kissed her, and the heat of arousal that danced over her skin when he touched her. 

God, he was going to miss her. Tonight was making it too hard for him to accept that he was Mission Leader. Tonight was making it hard to go when tomorrow finally came.

“Sam, m'gonna cum, where do you want it?” He asked softly as his voice took on a breathy rasp, and her eyes met his in the low light. He dragged his hand down so that his thumb could work circles on her clit, bringing her closer to her peak. 

“Inside, Jake, it's okay. Wanna know what it feels like before you go.” Her words were so needy, so strained as he watched her orgasm begin to roll over her, starting at the center of her pleasure where he was coaxing her over the edge, crashing across her midsection in a wave of tension, her breasts heaving up and down. She threw her head back and her mouth dropped open, eyes shutting tight as she called his name, sinfully loud. Jake's balls drew up first, then his release barreled over him as his cock pumped inside her, painting her walls. Jake stiffened above her, letting her name fall from his lips in a breathy moan that made her giggle quietly. She loved how he fell apart for her.

There was a searing heat that settled in both of their lower bodies that drained everything from them as if some primal ritual had been completed. Jake, still panting, slid out of her and laid next to her, scooping her into his arms. Sam couldn't help but wrap her legs around his, trying to get as close as possible. He sighed and moved some of her now damp brown locks from in front of her eyes.

“Mmm...did you say you wanted to feel...” Jake started and Sam pushed him gently with a smirk.

“Before you go, yes. I’ve never...” Her voice was still sultry and low as she stared into his sage green eyes.

“Maybe you’ll have a surprise for me, when I come home?” Jake teased and Sam just pushed her face into his chest.

“Wouldn’t that be something spectacular for you to come home to?” Sam said softly, a small smile on her lips that he could feel.

“I can't wait until I can call you Samantha Seresin. And I can’t wait for all the things that’ll come with that.” He murmured and Sam laughed softly.

“I can't wait until you get back and we can start planning for that.” She said, her fingers traveling up his back, into his short hair, and he pushed back into her hand. “There's a lot of people we should probably invite to the wedding...” She continued and Jake nodded in agreement. There was Jake’s family and Sam's and then the shared Navy ‘family’ between them. 

“Who would you have walk you down the aisle?” He asked and her fingers paused for a few moments before starting against his scalp once more.

“The sad thing is...I kind of knew my dad wouldn't get to walk me down the aisle or see me get married. It just wasn't going to happen soon enough, and we had spoken about it a few times. I always told him I'd just ask Maverick because he was always like a second dad to me. But we've also known Cyclone for so long that maybe I'd ask him. I don't know anymore.”

“Well, whoever it is, I'll graciously accept you.” His lips ghosted over her temple and Sam noted that his heart was still pounding even though they'd both come down from their high. 

“Are you okay, Jake?” She asked and she felt him smile into her neck.

“Y’know, I spoke to your dad about us.” He said, rolling onto his back. Sam propped herself against him, a hand on his pectoral closest to her, her head on his bicep, which was a surprisingly comfortable position.

“And?” She asked, swallowing hard. Jake could see tears forming and was careful with what he said.

“I was surprised at what he said to me. I’ve always been called egotistical...or an asshole...or cunning...or a million other words with a bad connotation...but your father said I was honorable...and respectful...and he could tell that because of how happy I made you. That meant more to me than you could ever know.” He said and then he spoke again, “He also said, when you know, you know...and I know this...no matter what happens on this mission...I fucking love you, Samantha, and in the short time we’ve been together, you’ve made me a better man. And I couldn't ask for anything else.”

“I fucking love you, Jake.” Was all she could manage before tears filled her eyes, thinking of her father in that moment and how much she missed him, but how much it would mean to him for her to have a man like Jake to take care of her.

[mieczyhale]

sorry, babes, but you were ratted out by the fuckin wendy's employee

don't hang around and use their phone if you don't want them telling things to the people who call back. i didn't even ask for details, they just shared, so now i know a couple of things were lies. they're relatively small, in the grand scheme of fucking everything to do with your life and my inescapable place in it, but y'know.. if you lied about those things maybe you lied about the big thing too.

i'm not going to just assume you did, because i believe in innocent until proven guilty - or honest until proven lying, and just because you fucked something up doesn't mean you fucked everything up. maybe the story you told me on the phone DID really happen the way you said it did. it's not out of the realm of possibility. but then.. y'know.. not sure why we didn't hear from you until almost 9 PM.

honestly i'm most irritated that you pulled the "i have no one else to help me" "i'm out of people to call" card repeatedly until i said i'd come get you. and then i get there just to find out hm. someone else also called about you and you already left. that was less than 30 minutes after you hung up. now, did i get there a little later than expected?? yeah. but you know to expect that of me. you know what my ocd is like. you could've waited. but apparently you DID actually have other people that could help you. you dragged my ass out of the house, less than an hour after i got home from work, for nothing. you put me through an unnecessary round of rituals. that is.. the rotten cherry on top.

i hope you're okay, and i hope - for your sake - that you can figure out whatever the fuck is going on (maybe.. idk.. get a hold of your fucking parole officer instead of your manipulative ex and your long suffering sibling in law. just a thought) but bitch i'm at my limit with you. again. this is the.. third time this year we've hit that?? it's a fuckin record.

and you know what?? eventually i'll help you again, and i'll defend you again, and i'll be there for you during the moments you'll later claim nobody was there for you, and you'll apologize and i'll forgive you but not entirely because i don't actually forgive that many people, and you'll be okay until you're not, and every day that you're not is somehow up to me to handle and fix because everyone else passed giving up on you awhile ago, and at some point our mental health got tied together so the worse you're doing the worse i'm doing so i can't actually back out entirely without fucking myself over in a different way from how i get fucked over by being involved-

and honestly i also can't back out because i'm the middle man between you and multiple people - two people always, others when they can't get a hold of you themselves or they won't answer you in return - so y'all and your shit communication would be EXTRA shit if you let me out but, despite my efforts to at least change THAT, none of you actually will let me out and thankfully - THANKFULLY - i at the very least have the power to tell certain people to fuck off, because without that i think i'd lose my goddamn mind even more. because we've been doing this for nearly eleven (11) years and unfortunately - unless you actually get your shit together - i can't see this fucking ending.

because i can't turn off the part of me that loves, and cares, and has an insane defend/protect nature, that wants to do everything i can to help the people i love and that includes you.

all of this fucking bullshit. and it still includes you.

but for the moment i am in the part of the pattern where i am so fucking done. i have this so bad it's good beer and a zebra cake and i'm going to read fic and then sleep and if you fucking call me i'm not going to answer bc i've got nothing to say to you right now.

just... nothing.

if you happen to check your tumblr for once and see this and get pissy?? i don't care. the effect you have on my life is very fucking real and i am allowed to talk about it vaguely. it's too big a part of my life for me not to.

CHAPTER 4: FEELINGS

"No! You can't hide it, are you crazy?!"Miyazaki-chan exclaimed with wide eyes.

"What do you mean I can't hide it?!" Your face scrunched up in bewilderment.

You girls were all currently eating lunch in an open classroom, somewhere y'all were sure nobody (nobody as in Kazutora) would find you and overhear.

"That's not a good idea. It never ends well trying to hide it." Asuka added.

"Listen, if you try to hide how you feel you're just gonna look like a dumbass." Miyazaki-chan said, her tone serious.

"So what then, the best option is to just show it and look like an even bigger dumbass?!" You scrunched your face as you spoke.

".....Yeah!" They all nodded.

"Hell naw! That is so stupid!" You ranted, throwing your hands up.

"Hey! I don't know why you're freakin' out about this at week, like what, six?! Why didn't you see this coming?!" Hanako-chan accused, pointing a finger at you.

"What?! Who sees a crush on someone coming? Be for real." You rolled your eyes.

"Literally everyone except you, apparently! You didn't notice the way you've been acting around him? I mean damn, you've had hearts in your eyes since the day he first came to school!" Yumi ranted.

You slapped a hand over your mouth, letting out a deep gasp. "Did I really?!" You asked nervously, your tone much softer now.

"Yes!"

"It was pretty bad."

"Literally hearts in your eyes."

"Everyone noticed."

They all said one after the other. You groaned, covering your face with your hands. "I don't think this is good. I don't know if he likes me ba-

"He does." They once again all said in unison.

"I'm serious, guys!" You whined childishly.

"And we're serious too! I mean think about it, he always walks with you and he defends you all the time!" Yumi said, a slight swoon in her voice.

"Wait what? Defends me all the time? He only helped me once."

"No, that's not true, you're just never there." Hayashi-chan cut in. "Whenever he hears some guys talking about you in a way he doesn't like, he gets super mad, like, really pissed."

You were silent, taking in and registering what she just said. "Well..that's not a for sure sign that he likes me. We'll just have to see, I guess. I'll play it cool as best as I can." You shrugged, sighing in slight defeat.

Crushes are always such a hassle. They can be fun and exciting, but the anxiousness of not knowing how someone feels about you always kinda sucks. Most times crushes end up just being phases anyway, and honestly for your sake, you hoped this one was a phase.

The fifty minute lunch period was soon over, leaving you bored once again in your math class. It was pretty trash having to go from fun lunchtime to boring math, but whatever, that's life. You always sat right up front and to the far left side by the window. You had to be in the front in all your classes because it helped you focus and see better. You hated having to peer through all these different people just to see what's on the board.

At some point in the middle of class a crumbled piece of paper fell onto your desk, right on top of your binder. You looked around with furrowed brows, seeing no one looking suspicious in any way, before opening the paper.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The next day had come around, Tuesday. It was officially four days into the month of October, and the weather's been much cooler now.

Kazutora noticed you approaching him in the hallway, which left him a bit surprised seeing as he usually comes and finds you. He didn't mind it though.

"Hey Kazi." You greeted him with a small smile. "What's up?" He looked down at you with a little grin. He liked that you weren't afraid to call him by his nickname in school anymore. You used to always save it for when you both were alone or walking home together.

"Uhh, so I actually won't be able to walk home with you today." You mutter, fiddling around with the hem of your skirt.

"Huh?" His brows furrowed.

"Yeah, one of my classmates asked to hang out with me at this park after school." You looked up at him with an apologetic tone.

Wait wait wait, what? Kazutora figured he must be trippin', 'cause did he just hear you say a classmate asked you to the park with them? Yesterday, the crumpled note you received in math class had been an invitation. It wasn't often someone from school offered to hang out with you, so you figured why not? Could be fun, who knows?

"Oh? Who is it?" He tilted his head to the side inquisitively.

You started to get a little nervous. His tone was absolutely not matching the look on his face. He sounded normal as usual, but his eyes looked like there was hellfire behind them.

"He's in my math class. He's really nice so I didn't wanna say no." You skillfully avoided saying who it was, and made sure to add the fact that he's a nice guy, hoping that would somehow make Kazutora feel better about hanging with someone else. From the outside, Kazutora had a pretty composed demeanor, but on the inside he was lighting the whole school on fire. Your words rang loudly in his ears, repeating over and over again.

He's really nice Didn't wanna say no In my math class Really nice

He...it's a he, and he's nice?! So nice, allegedly, that you felt you couldn't say no to him. Just so nice in fact, that you went and chose him over Kazutora. Who is this kid? Where the hell did he get the balls to ask to hang out with you of all the girls in this entire school?! Did he not know you always walked with him now? He really didn't know he'd called dibs on you, like almost a month ago?

"Nice, huh? You like him or somethin'?" He asked as cooly as he could manage, raising a brow.

"Well I mean, I like him but not like that, you know? He's sweet though, and it seems like he's pretty shy." You shrugged, trying to reiterate that your classmate really is a nice guy...again. You'd went and spoke to him for a bit after class, wanting to make sure the note was actually meant for you. He seemed genuinely kind, so why wouldn't you say yes?

It took every fiber of Kazutora's being to not clench his jaw in annoyance. Isn't this just peachy? You both might as well be two peas in a pod, running off into the sunset being shy and sweet together. He didn't like this at all, not even a little. He hated how it made him feel, imagining you being someone else's princess, even though the whole school already knows you to be his own princess.

Kazutora was jealous...as fuck, but he'd never admit that out loud. He hummed in response to you, nodding his head slowly.

"We can walk together tomorrow though, ok? Both to school and back; I promise!" You gave him another one of those sickeningly sweet smiles, placing a hand on his arm. In just that moment he was calm again, looking down at your hand sealing the promise you made to him. Then as soon as your hand left and you told him "I'll see you later" in that silky voice, walking down the hall to wherever you were going, the jealousy came crashing right back in.

He spent the entire rest of the day agonizing over you and whoever it was you'd be spending time with after school. It was causing physical pain at this point not knowing which kid it was in your grade that had the guts to go for you.

Shy my ass.... He thought to himself bitterly.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

At the end of the day, Yamagishi had come to your locker just as he said he would. As you both exited the building, all you heard were whispers and murmurs about why you weren't walking with Kazutora today, and if the two of you broke up. You ignored it, talking about how the day went with him.

Yamagishi really was a sweet guy. As soon as a conversation about something he's into came up, he'd go on and on about it, the nervousness completely out the window.

He took you to a nice public park. It was really beautiful, the autumn leaves were all kinds of burgundy, orange, and yellow shades, some fallen on the path creating this ethereal effect. There were so many people walking around here, some couples and some groups of friends doing the same thing as you and Yamagishi, walking around leisurely after school.

"I've never been here before; this is really nice!" You beamed, speed walking over to the lake in the center of the park. The park was built around the body of water, cute metal plates of the different species of fish in the water circled around the whole perimeter of the lake.

"Yeah, I like to come here pretty often and do homework. It's really cool-looking this time of year." He chuckled shyly, joining your side by the water. He was so glad you liked it here. He'd spent days trying to think of where he could take you to hang out where he could finally tell you how he feels about you. His friends had been hassling him for months telling him if he doesn't do it soon someone else'll come along and beat him to the punch and he'll regret it forever.

"Thanks for bringing me here." You smile at him sweetly, before turning your attention back to the fish swimming around aimlessly in the water. Yamagishi blushed hard, his cheeks turning deep pink as he looked at your face. You look so pretty standing there with such a peaceful expression, the wind brushing past the little coils in your updo. He loves how you always have such cool hairstyles, and you always make your uniform match your own personal style. Your skin is so clear and looks even softer, too. Then your eyes, that foreign shape and the way they always seem like they're sparkling, he loved it. He swallowed hard, balling his fists up in his pockets as he tries to build the courage to do what he brought you here to do.

"Um-

"Ooo look! They have a hojicha latte stand! You want some?!" You beamed abruptly, pointing to the right behind Yamagishi. There was a small line of people, all waiting for a hot cup of hojicha (Note: Hojicha lattes are a tea latte made from Japanese roasted green tea leaves~).

"O-oh, I can get you some if you want?" He offered sweetly, a bit disappointed at his spoiled chance. He'll find another opening though, for sure.

"No no, you don't have to! I can-

"I want to." He cut you off, giving you the cutest smile, "Wait here, I'll be right back!" He called over his shoulder, already jogging over to the slightly growing hojicha line. You laughed lightly to yourself, waiting patiently for him to come back with your drink.

He came back fairly quickly, handing you your drink. The both of you walked around in a tranquil silence, at least, it was tranquil for you. Yamagishi on the other hand was freaking out mentally, completely shook that one of his previously wildest dreams was actually unfolding in real life right now. He'd feel like an absolute failure if he went home without confessing to you, he has to do it, at least really try! Maybe after he confesses he could hold your hand like a couple. Maybe even kiss!

"Oh, you know what, I heard the school is gonna be doing a really nice autumn festival in Novem- You cut yourself off, noticing some random tall dude aggressively bump into Yamagishi's shoulder, spilling his drink all along his arm and part of the front of his shirt. His face contorted in pain as the hot beverage made contact with his skin through his clothes. Your face scrunched up in anger and shock, your head snapping behind you to glare at the guy who did this. He was super tall, probably a little over six feet, wearing some all red outfit.

"Hey! You just made him spill his drink all over his shirt! What is wrong with you, you don't see all this space to walk around?!" You ranted, gesturing towards Yamagishi's stained shirt. The tall guy turned around, an annoyed look on his face.

Yamagishi's eyes widened in horror, immediately recognizing the symbol on the guys outfit. He knew a lot about all kinds of things gang related, so it didn't take him long to register that this was none other than Osanai, the current leader of Moebius.

"Huh?" He says stupidly.

"hUuuH?", You mocked him, becoming more annoyed by the second, "Apologize to him!" You demand, your demeanor completely serious, stepping up towards the gang leader boldly.

"Why doesn't your little boyfriend speak up for himself, huh? You got a problem with me, pussy?" He asked smugly, looking past you and straight at a petrified Yamagishi. You scoffed, appalled at how rude he was being.

"N-no sir!" Yamagishi frantically answered before turning and grabbing your hand, "Come on, we should-

"Well how 'bout this, I got a problem with you. Don't talk to him like that!" You said fiercely, taking your hand out of Yamagishi's, walking over and shoving a hand in Osanai's chest. You weren't exactly sure why you were reacting like this, maybe there was some unmanaged anger about that situation with that rapist weeks ago that still lingered. Maybe you were tired of guys acting like they can just do whatever they want and get away with it, picking on people who weren't as strong. Highly likely both. The tall guy bursted out into laughter, looking down at you like you were an ant.

Suddenly, he snatched you by the front of your shirt, making your heart drop as you yelped. "You've got some guts, girl. You realize who you're talkin' to?" He asked menacingly, he was so close your noses were nearly touching.

"Let go." You gritted out angrily, standing your ground.

"Don't hurt her! Let her go!" Yamagishi cried out, pulling you out of his grip and shifting himself in front of you.

"Hey, we got a problem here, boss?"

Another boy, tall, with a friend both dressed the same as Osanai strolled over casually. They looked intimidating, just like this one who started everything.

"Yeah, seems this little miss wants some trouble." He smirked deviously, talking over his shoulder. "Oh yeah?" The other less taller one spoke, chewing some gum lazily. Your heart was pounding, pumping both fear and high levels of anger through your veins.

"If you want a problem, I can hand you a problem!" You snapped from behind Yamagishi's shoulder. The tallest one snickered, then pushed Yamagishi out of the way like he was nothing, making him fall to the ground. Osanai gripped your jaw tightly, two fingers forcing your lips to pucker out in an embarrassing way. Then, he nodded towards Yamagishi, letting the other two stomp him out right in front of you. "You shoulda just kept your mouth shut, bitch. Now you can watch your punk ass boyfriend get-

You cut him off with a hard slap, using your own hot hojicha cup to hit him in the face with. His head slightly turned to your left, eyes wide as the drink spilled along him and your own arm. Osanai let go, letting you stumble back while panting heavily. "To think I was gonna let you off the hook." He chuckled dryly. Your heart dropped. What the hell kind of situation is this?! You can't fight him, Yamagishi sure as hell can't fight, you're stuck. Your whole body was shaking, hands trembling just like six weeks ago with that college aged creep. You didn't wanna be hopeless like back then, you wanted to fight for yourself, protect yourself. You balled your fists at your sides, preparing for a fight.

You heard Yamagishi yell for you to just run away, but fuck that. It'd be terrible for you to leave him. Clearly no one else around had the guts to help y'all, so you'll just have to do what you can.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Welp....the fight didn't last very long, nor did it go well for you. Yamagishi had somehow managed to weasel himself away from the two guys attacking him, placing himself between you and Osanai just in time to take the punch he was about to throw at you. His body fell to the side and hit the ground like he didn't weigh a thing. You could tell Osanai was a fighter for real, he had insane technique. Just as Yamagishi fell out cold, Osanai readied another punch, this one finally managing to hit you directly in the face. You fell down right with Yamagishi, wailing out in pain like a baby and cupping the left side of your face gently. Osanai and the others threatened to do worse if we ever tried them again, then left on their merry way like nothing happened.

The two of you got back to your house late in the night. Your mom was fast asleep so you were able to sneak him into your room without waking her up. You handled the both of your wounds gently, taking the most time on Yamagishi as he received the worst of it. He apologized to you over and over and over, tears flowing down his face like a waterfall. He felt horrific that he couldn't save you, and felt pathetic even more at the fact that he barely even did much at all. You were braver than he was in his opinion. You held your ground against a man while all Yamagishi wanted to do was get outta there as fast as possible. He felt like he didn't deserve someone as strong as you, and he especially didn't think he deserved a girl he can't even protect.

"You don't have to keep apologizing. Honestly, I should've just listened to you; we should've ran away or something. Neither one of us knows how to really fight, and that guy seemed like he was a boxer or some kinda professional." You mumbled, gently placing some circular shaped bandaids on his arms. He frowned, not really feeling any better about the situation. You let out a deep sigh, placing the first aid supplies down, looking him in the eyes. "I-I couldn't do anything. I wanted to save you, but I'm not strong like those guys." He stuttered, frantically wiping away at his continuous tears. Your heartstrings pulled at the sight of him, making you tear up your own self.

"You're not necessarily as strong or super tall like them, but you did stick up for me. You defended me the best that you could, and I appreciate that a lot. You're way better than them, Yamagishi. They're physical strength is all they have so they just go around hurting people to make them feel better about themselves. But you have more strength than them by a long shot, 'cause your brave and respectful; compassionate. You got a gold heart." You smiled softly, hugging him from the side gently.

Yamagishi's heart skipped probably five beats in a row. He couldn't believe you still thought highly of him even after what happened. He melted into the hug, slowly resting his head on your shoulder. You patted his back a bit, pulling away from the hug. He took the small window of silence between the two of you to do what he planned to do this whole time.

"I-..I really like you-

You cut him off, leaning forward and planting a small, sweet kiss on his cheek. Yamagishi gasped, stiffening up instantly as he fell dead silent. His heart was racing ten miles a second.

"I know." You speak softly, "But, I like you more as a friend."

"Oh.." His heart sank, eyes cast downward in disappointment. As fast as his dream came, it dissipated into mist, drifting away rapidly in the wind.

"You'll find someone that loves you, and when you do, you'll make her really happy! I know that for sure." You assure, giving him a light smile. It was hard for you, turning down such a cute sweetheart like him. Honestly it worried you about your own little crush situation with Kazutora.

You very well may be joining Yamagishi in the unrequited love parade soon.

🩵A/N: Thanks so much for reading y'all, and I hope you guys are enjoying the fluff section of the story so far! Please like and reblog and whatever else lol, love y'all🧚🏾‍♀️

[respectthepetty]

Since I decided the best way to make it through Our Skyy 2 with minimal damage is to drink my way through it, welcome to the sixth round of

CockTails in the Skyy!

This week's drink is Deja Brew since we just saw this group six days ago:

dark coffee for our "tough" boss

vanilla brandy for the boss's babe

soy milk and ice for the men holding it together Tubtab and Jack

whipped cream and chocolate shavings for the disgustingly sweet Three and Zo

I don't like coffee, I didn't like the series, and I don't think I'll like this, but I like brandy, I'm obsessed with how Cher says "Boss" and anything that gets me more ThreeZo and Jack is worth watching.

Bottoms up!

What in the Tom, Dick, and Harry is happening?!

Call him honey, darling, or DADDY! <- Aoi gets it!

Cher feeding Gun who has a visible mustache shadow is hitting a sweet spot.

This is what upsets me - JimmySea and ForceBook have the domestic chemistry down. They excel at, yet had the wildest plots to work with. I hope Last Twilight and Only Friends do these men justice.

The yellow writing that keeps popping up is throwing me off.

Nice to see the wild ass color scheme is still going strong here, Reon!

The friend group is the reason I showed up every week!

Zo threatening his man while smiling is why I love him the most-est.

Cher made that imaginary intern very cute, but we all know Gun, who doesn't like skinship, would not touch that man like that.

Aoi getting more screen time this outing makes me upset that I didn't get MORE of her in the series. She was the best officemate.

I wonder how the office feels about Cher being ridiculous during office hours when he doesn't even work there. I'd be entertained, honestly, because I love other people's drama.

Okay, this is the tough boss I waited to see the entire series! Where was this jerk for twelve episodes?!

The entire office is really asking Cher to get his man together before they Julius Caesar his ass.

Cher constantly wearing Gun's colors is warming my ice cold heart.

I would love to believe that Gun doing 500 sit-ups is unrealistic, but then I remember Force's body-ody-ody and . . . do what you gotta do to maintain, sir.

I've written this before, but Force looks like a marble statue, and I need him to be in a BL about gym bros. Book can play the guy looking to get fit, and Force can be his trainer. Don't let those arm veins go to waste, GMMTV!

Gun is smiling like a ventriloquist, and it's creepy af.

Y'all, I'm really liking this installment. It's the Vice Versa one all over again. What are they going to do to eff this up?

Cher to Gun - "Are you finished or are you done?"

Why is everyone acting sus at this dinner?

I'm clutching my pearls that Cher's bright idea was to have Three and Zo fight.

I'm so conflicted. I want to be upset, but now Gun just gave Cher jewelry! Then Gun was cocky, and Cher slapped him on the ass. I like this.

The Deja Brew has too much caffeine and I feel my heart beating (I don't like reminders that I have a heart), so I'm gonna be a sober seahorse for the second episode. I'm already regretting this.

Moving into Cher's tiny apartment with this small tub thing instead of Gun's apartment with that huge ass tub was a dumb decision.

Every part of me hopes Gun acts just as amusing as Cher in the office.

Deadass, if I worked in this office with a boss whose boyfriend was this entertaining, I would be thriving. I would never have to drink another drop of water because these antics would keep me hydrated.

Jack has no fucks to give about this role-play situation unfolding during his billable hours.

Did this man have confetti in his pocket for this exact moment?! I'm telling you that I'd be living my best life in this office!

If I was that security guard, I would NOT have paid that 80 baht for Gun. Boss man does not need my hourly wage.

You'd be a custard apple or a pomegranate cause you're being extra! <-I'm using this because I love good commentary about *fruits*

I can't keep writing this, but I genuinely like this! Cher slamming his hand on the table and Gun immediately babying him. Urgh! I'm pleased!

This is giving me What's Wrong with Secretary Kim vibes.

Something keeps happening with the lighting to make the guys seem angelic, and I want to know what pressure the lighting department was under to make this work under these conditions.

I have been a vegetarian for over two decades, yet my meat-eating friends are the picky eaters, so I pop off like Gun just did every time I have to order them food. Why is the order so complicated?! Why three different places?!

Gun having printer and copier issues is the office drama I crave.

"That last sentence was lit." - GMMTV's translators deserve a raise.

Oh my gosh! WHERE IS PORSCHE?!

Aoi gets where I'm coming from. She is not going to let her boss and his boyfriend ruin her happiness. In fact, she embraces the chaos.

Cher is playing with Gun's face, and I'm going to fully admit that I liked this entire installment. They even exchanged colors!

The game idea is actually kinda okay-ish.

This role-playing unlocked a kink in Gun because now he wants to receive and give regularly-scheduled commands. Okay, sir, I see you.

Cher's shirt reads "Error Since Birth" and I LOVE IT!

I'm shocked and appalled about what I'm about to do. I thought I was going to be upset watching this, but I really enjoyed it. The color-coding (that I hated during the show) was consistent here unlike the other previous installments (Vice Versa, The Eclipse, and My School President), the repartee between Cher and Gun never missed, and their chemistry was good as usual. There was no Porsche, we didn't find out about Jack's previous relationship, and I'm pissed we didn't get THIS during the actual series, so . . .

8/10 CockTails for giving me most of what I wanted long after I wanted it.

Now, BRING ME MY SLUTS!

And before anyone asks, I'm in a long-term committed relationship with Pat's hair. That's how much I love it.

[kaija-rayne-author]

When I finally manage to get BG3, I think Astarion is probably going to be the big one for me, broken sex neg chaotic elf vampire? He could be custom crafted for my likes. Angst and snark? 😍 I really do love elves. And vampires, which if you've read my books you probably already know that about me. Oh and the angstier the romance the better as long as I eventually get my HEA/HFN.

More blathering 😅 below the cut.

I'm looking forward to playing it for more than the characters. I played and adored the first two, though I honestly preferred Champions of Norath for mechanics. I've been role playing in video games and ttrpg for most of my life. Role playing as a 'normal' person ever since I figured out that I was definitely not the same as neurotypical people. Reasonably sure many autistic/ADHD folks share the experience. I'm looking forward to seeing what they did with the city and story.

Buuuut, I also thought I'd love Fenris from DA2 and I really ended up almost loathing him.

I've got ptsd, it's some of the most ridiculous stereotypical rep I've seen, I don't even drink! Many people with ptsd don't! And of course they haaaad to go with the alcoholic shut in when he's not murdering people thing. Ugh! Fenris is also so freaking mean. I didn't romance him at all because of it, but if you can't see a character's growth without romancing them, it's not very good characterization. He's especially vicious to Merrill, who is just so sweet and doesn't deserve to be talked to like that. Honestly, no one does. Wonderful growly voice which would do things to me if the character weren't so objectively awful, but a voice, even to a voice slut like me, isn't enough.) Yes, stereotypes do exist for a reason, but it's also why stereotypical rep is bad!

So I dunno, maybe I'll be right and Astarion will work for me. I also love the meaning of his name. 'Little star' from the Greek. It's been on my list as a future character name for years.

But Karlach might work depending on her personality. Gale is just pathetic enough from what I've seen to make me like him.

I dunno who it'll be tbh. I'm polyam too, so being able to be polyam in that game is a huge attraction for me. (Unfortunately, apparently you can't do that with Astarion and Karlach.)

Honestly, I don't get why everyone is so excited about having sex with Halsin in bear form. Have you seen bear penis? Thin, not very short for most species, and they have a bone in them. A bacula is what penis bones are called and humanoids notably do not have them anymore. The largest bear we know of currently is the badly endangered polar bear, and their baculas are roughly 7 inches long. That doesn't exactly scream it's gonna feel great, y'know? At least, 😅, not to me. All y'all do you. I'm not trying to kink shame.

It's just not a factor of attraction for me. TBH, I haven't seen much about Halsin at all. Which is kinda surprising given the fuss about 'sex in bear form' thing.

And yes, I'm very well aware how odd it may be for an aro/ace person to enjoy romance novels and games so much. It makes sense to me (sometimes) in a game or on page. It doesn't make sense in real life for me. I'm a sex positive ace, I can enjoy it with the right emotional or intellectual (ideally both) connections.

I'm also autochorisexual, so it makes sense that way too. I'm far more likely to fall for a fictional character than a living person.

Ugh. I wish I didn't have to wait for this game. But my birthday is coming up and I'm hopeful someone will get it for me. If not, I'll have to keep wishing. I'm still looking for a job, but it’s really not going well very quickly at all.

Shrugs. Everyone seems to act like aro/aces all hate romance and sex but that's definitely not been my experience. Some of us are sex neg, I have good friends who are, but I've talked to far more sex neutral or sex positive aces.

I really wish people valued creativity enough to pay for it more frequently. Just a living wage. That's legit all most creatives want. Enough money to pay the bills every month.

[stillgotme]

Idk if it's too early to ask about your characters without you reblogging any character ask memes but I am curious about this new story so here we are. What inspired you to create this story? I've been MIA for a while but it was really nice to see you start a story again so I'm just curious how this story came to be. So far I love what I'm seeing and I hope this story goes well! I can't wait to learn more about these new characters!

OF COURSE YOU CAN ASK ME ABOUT MY CHARACTERS

(this goes for everyone ok like just bc i don't reblog those character ask games all the time, know that i am always open to asks regarding my stories and characters)

now *cracks knuckles* time for me to tell y'all the story of how this new story decided to come into the picture

so rewind allllll the way back to february 2022. i was having issues with my saves so to check out what the fuck was causing this, i started a new save JUST TO TEST and so you know how they put you in cas when you first start a new game? the sim they gave me was actually super cute so i was like aw she cute i'll keep her in case i ever wanna do something with her or whatever. i saved her to my gallery, went and fixed whatever issue was happening to my saves, went back to my normal bullshit

fast forward to july 2022. my personal life in may and june was an absolutely nightmare. didn't touch sims for weeks bc i was so stressed and when it finally all settled by the time july came i didn't feel like doing anything serious with sims so i was like oh WAIT i remember that one sim i saved! lemme use her as a base and make a cute gameplay sim!

IN COMES RISA! she was just supposed to be a gameplay sim! that's why she's maxis mix bc i just wanted to vibe and have fun. so i move her into san myshuno's fashion district and start thinking about her backstory bc all fun, no story JUST FUN

but then guess who starts to interact with her when she moves in

AKIRA KIBO

YES. HIM. to all the new readers if you didn't know, akira is akira kibo from the karaoke legends household. MY BOY IS A PREMADE

i mean he was always hot but ea just didn't let him shine so i had to do it lmao

and bc my storytelling brain has no fucking self control my mind started thinking of scenarios as i developed risa and i talked to my friend about these concepts on discord and she called it before anyone else

i was like psh no it's not a story

yeah...........

the more i shared this with my friends they were loving it and encouraging me to do something with my ideas, even if it's a book, a draft, or some sim edits

and well. the storyteller in me couldn't resist. i was having so much fun with them and honestly doing something entirely new was a breath of fresh air, especially bc this story won't be as heavy and dramatic as redemption and sincerely, yours. i started plotting and eventually it turned into a story.

[Hey, y'all! I'm really sorry it's been so long since I've last posted. Literally the night I posted the last update, shit started happening, and it just kind of snowballed really fucking badly. Like, shit that's on par with those ao3 author notes that you can't help but laugh at because by God you can't imagine how they managed to keep writing and posting while experiencing what they outlined.

Lol. Lmao even.

Anyway, I'm not gonna get into it because it's a lot, really personal, and definitely has nothing to do with this blog, but me and everyone involved is doing fine for now. I've just been having a hard time handling it.

Anyway though, I did finally finish writing Frisk and Flowey's expedition. Because in canon it started super early in the morning, the video is going to wrap up at around 10:05am, which is also going to be the time I post it tomorrow in Mountain Standard Time. (Note: NOT Mountain Daylight Time. Those are different lol) After it's posted, Frisk will be answering asks again, mostly related to the expedition because they are still going to be in the Underground with Flowey, and they are going to be open to ideas and suggestions for where to go from there with the information they have. After that loop concludes, they will also go through the asks they've gotten before the expedition and answer those and other general asks that come after.

I honestly can't think of an excuse for why this has taken a month to put together in canon, so if it's all the same to you all, I'm going to try and keep what they've been doing and how many loops have passed since they last posted really vague.

Sorry again for the long wait, but I hope the quality of the writing makes up for it slightly? Not gonna lie, it also did take a bit longer than usual to write for me because I don't usually write in screenplay format, but I think it turned out pretty well. Sunny at least likes it, and I trust her judgement lol

I hope you enjoy, and I'll see you all tomorrow o7 ]

A quick little review of The Rookie Episode 9: The Squeeze!

I can see that everything's starting to come together and y'alllll it's gonna be wild o.o :D

Wait I need to watch the promo for episode 10 one second

Uh ohhh

UMM??

Yeahh she kind of does though

Uhh ohhh 😬😬

The FBI :OOO??!! HI MY GUY :DDD!!!

GARZAA WHOOOO 🥳🥳🥳🥰

Uh ohhh

Y'all how is all of this gonna happen in one episode o.o

Where are they??

NOLAN??

Sir??!?!!

O.O XD anywayy

Yeah! I'm really excited to see how everything comes together, though y'all I be stressinggg a bit xdd. I think everyone's gonna survive but I definitely think there's gonna be a cliffhanger.

Monica is a terrifying villain. I hate her and sometimes she's just annoying, but you've gotta admit she always has a plan, and is really good at talking herself out of things. Just seeing the way she manipulates all the villains, and everyone honestly but especially them, making them believe she's just a smaller player. Some of them know, and then she just has to be as honest and humble as possible and not interact with them much. Because she may not be actively running her own crime ring, but she knows everyone and not everyone knows her. Like said in the promo, she has spies everywhere 😬😬. Honestly gotta love the planning sometimes though xDD.

I'm so glad we got that cop out of here. Leave Tim, and the others, alone sir xdd. Though I'm sure there's more, even if Blaire can't get to them right now. And, of course, she's wanting to defect. Idk how genuine she is but I think she's in over her head for sure, so I'm hoping she really means to. But I don't know if she'll get the chance 😭. Or be brave enough, based on what she said, which is fair though.

Y'all I be STRESSINGGG about Lucy o.o. Girl is SO close to being found out, I just hope there's backup when she is 😭😭🥺💔.

Angela and Nyla absolutely slayed as always 😌😌. Then trying to figure out as little as possible that they could tell Monica was hilarious xD. I love them so much lol <33.

I LOVED that scene with Wesley and the hitman :D. I just love my boy 🥰🥰, and it's so good to see him again. You know, in more of a significant way, and involved in the drama xD. Also he absolutely slayed that :)) :D 😌😌. Don't underestimate him y'all :p (talking more to the characters than y'all lol, you guys get it 😌😌🥰). Anyway, he ate that up, and I hope they can keep their nanny xdd. She seems really good lol.

OH YEAH AND OSCAR. SIR YOU BETTER NOT. But also. . . wopez angst 😏👀😌🥰. Anyway OHHH GOSH he's another thing to worry about o.o 😭😭😬. I'm a little scared y'all xd. Great to see him again though :D.

Overall, I loved the episode, I thought it was great :D. I'm nervous for the next one because stuff is definitely going to go down, but I'm sure it's gonna be fun. I just hope everyone ends up okay <3. Anyway, I really loved seeing everyone's individual plots slowing coming together this episode, even as they didn't realize it. It was so well done and I really enjoyed it :D.

So yeah! I loved the episode, I thought it was amazing. It was definitely stressful, but a lot of fun. I'm excited for the next one! This has been my review of. . .

The Rookie, Season 6, Episode 9: The Squeeze

I really enjoyed it! I'm excited for the next episode but I'm also terrified for how it's gonna go down. I'll be back next week with my review of. . .

See you next week!

[projectjasper]

just wanted to discuss episode 6 somewhere and i really liked your thoughts so i'll say it here, i hope you don't mind! okay first of all wow, typhoon. the way he kind of forced nuea into doing that one day relationship with him after nuea was very clear that he only sees him as a friend was just so messed up? i started disliking him ever since he started getting a little too comfortable saying they're "flirting" with each other when it was quite obvious that nuea was never interested in him like that. nuea was always way too nice to him and phoon totally took advantage of it especially after he knew nuea has a hard time rejecting people. i just feel like each character's personalities are so different? kluen is so cautious, hesitant and does a lot more through actions than words, he also thinks too much. nuea is bold about how he feels but he's also scared of hurting others' feelings. typhoon is a little too straightforward, stubborn and determined on getting what he wants, even just a taste of it, regardless of how the other person feels. all if them are just bound to clash tbh. also, the forced kisses. the bathroom kiss in episode 5 was very clearly out of jealousy that kluen couldn't control and while it was still wrong to do, taking into consideration kluen's personality, i understand why he would do that since he honestly didn't know what to do with what he was feeling at that moment. the kiss phoon did though? it honestly didn't even make sense like what point was he trying to prove? was kissing nuea the only way to show kluen who nuea's focus is always on? sigh these boys are just not good at communication at all and while this episode was total chaos i actually enjoy how different and complex each character is and how the story of this series is so simple but they made it so deep and complicated in an interesting way. curious to see how they clear this up next episode because that preview was way too sweet, i can't wait!

absolutely do not mind y'all sharing your thoughts with me!

you make some good points about the characters clashing, i agree!

as for the kiss, i personally think that phoon did it on purpose to confuse things further. he was trying to get a rise out of everyone in that situation, and he succeeded. i think in part it was also him wanting to see if nuea would care about him at all, but another part was definitely him hoping that if he can't be with nuea, he can at least fuck up his and khluen's relationship too. he absolutely gives me the vibes of a person who can do that.

but i don't think i entirely agree with the idea that khluen is bad at communication. he is just communicating in a way many people don't understand, which is a very familiar feeling. this is why most of my friends are autistic - it can be very exhausting to communicate with allistics, because the reliance on social queues and never saying exactly what is meant is just so hard to navigate for me.

every misunderstanding and problem that happened between neua and khluen was because of nuea's expectations and khluen not being able to meet those expectations because he just doesn't fit what an allistic image of a person in love, especially when that image is also fueled by unrealistic fantasies.

Wakasa Rumi Theory Series: Part 1 of 3

It's been such a long time coming but I've finally done it! My Wakasa Rumi Theory is here and I can't wait to hear everyone's thoughts and opinions 🙌🏼 💛

WARNING: SPOILERS AHEAD

Before I jump right in, I'll be breaking down the theory into a 3 part series because there's just soo much to cover 😅. By the end of it I will have covered the following:

Why I think she's Asaca.

Her probable relationship to Haneda Koji.

How she became Amanda's bodyguard.

What might have happened on the day of Haneda Koji's murder.

How Haneda Koji's dying message directly refers to RUM as his killer.

Why Wakasa went on a hiatus for 17 years since the murder.

Reason behind Haibara liking Wakasa.

As y'all can see I'm going to cover a lot so I hope this explains why it took me so long to put it out, so sorryyyy 🙈🙏🏼 The ones in bold are the ones I'm covering in this post...

Anyways enough stalling and on with the first point:

1. Why I think Wakasa is in fact Asaca.

Well, let's start with what we know about Asaca. She is a woman who was mysteriously hired as Amanda Hughes' bodyguard, and is a strong, skilful fighter. Her identity is shrouded in mystery and ever since the murder, she has disappeared with no one knowing who she was and where she went. Now coming onto Wakasa...She's an obviously strong, ruthless fighter who was even able to take on Rei in the Eerie Farm Chapter.

There were also two foreshadowings made. The first was in chapter 954 when Akai asked if there was a careful, strong fighter who appeared around the girls and Sonoko answered that Ran is the closest person to match such a description and calling her a bodyguard. From this, we can assume Asaca, like Ran, is a fierce fighter but because they appear kind, their power is underestimated...just like Wakasa.

The second foreshadowing was the fact that Wakasa's introductory case revolved around unsolved events that started 10 years ago. I find this eerily similar to the whole Haneda Koji situation.

The last reason that makes me think Asaca is Wakasa is this panel from Chapter 1072 which is eerily similar to Asaca's picture from the blog.

Now moving onto the second part of the theory:

2. Her probable relationship to Haneda Koji.

For this part of the theory, I'll be honest I have no concrete evidence on any of my assumptions. I'm only basing them on an easter egg I noticed in the second case she was involved in. With that being said, I think she is probably his love interest. I'm not sure if they were in a relationship, but there seems to be some sort of connection between them. The reason why I don't think she is his sister is because there was no mention of a 'sister' going missing since the murder. With his family being rich and influential, they would have also made a fuss about their daughter going missing. So the likelihood that Wakasa is related to him through blood is slim. However, if she was his girlfriend or just someone he loved, his family may not have necessarily found out about her yet. Also the second case she was involved in since her introduction served as an easter egg in my opinion.

In Chapter 978, the case was about a sports player flying overseas for a championship and was leaving his girlfriend behind. While the events are not 100% identical, there are subtle similarities between the case and Haneda Koji travelling overseas for a chess championship.

One last thing I noticed is a parallel between her flashbacks and Jodie's flashbacks of her father's murder.

In the Vermouth Arc, there was a lot of speculation that Jodie could be Vermouth and she was the one who killed the man from her memories, but that did not turn out to be the case. In the current RUM arc, it was presumed that Asaca is RUM but that also has been debunked. Wakasa's memories of Haneda Koji would seem to imply she was the one who murdered him, but judging by Gosho's pattern of making innocent characters seem most suspicious, and the fact that Asaca isn't RUM (who is the true murderer), it just makes me believe that Wakasa is probably his love interest just like Jodie was the daughter.

Onto the third part of the theory:

3. How did Wakasa become Amanda's bodyguard.

If Wakasa isn't lying about her age, she would have been 20 years old at the time of the murder. Most probably at 20, it is hard to believe she would have been a full-time employee for some security company. Therefore, one can assume if she was Haneda Koji's love interest and he is aware of her skills, he could have offered Amanda that Wakasa helps guard her for the time they're spending in the States. So if this was done as a favour between friends, it would make sense why Amanda's family knew nothing about her or how she was hired. This is just my speculation but I honestly can't think of anything else to explain how she became her bodyguard 😂.

This is it for this post! In Part 2, I'll discuss what might have happened in the murder and the meaning behind the dying message (linked here). So I hope you enjoyed this post and happy reading for the next one 😁💛
