word count; 900ish  words

It was a weird atmosphere. You were wondering who thought it would be a good idea to put the servants together with the rest of the clan for a Christmas party. It was the Zen’in clan after all, this was bound to end in a disaster.

The feel was far from happy, cheery or festive. Christmas music was silently playing in the background, but no one seemed to pay any attention to it. Of course not, the Zen’ins were all too preoccupied with throwing thinly veiled aggressive gazes at the servants who dared mingle with them. Unsurprisingly a lot of those have claimed to be sick on this day. You were sure they were having a clandestine Christmas party in their quarters for themselves. It was such a shame, because the room itself looked nice. Whoever put up all the decorations clearly put all their heart into it. A colourful decorated Christmas tree was standing proudly in a corner; there were pine garlands on every surface, fairy lights and candles. It even smelt faintly of cookies.

Then again, in the end it all came down to whom you are celebrating Christmas with, and the Zen’ins clearly were not a fun people. Naobito had obviously had too much to drink already, gawking at every female that came to close to him, family or not. Megumi was moping in a corner, phone in hand, typing away on it with a scowl on his face. The twins next to him, looking as annoyed as can be. The rest of the family was all over the room with various drinks in hand. No one was enjoying this it seems and no one wanted to get through this evening sober. And neither did you, so you raised your mug of mulled wine to your lips. Nothing got you into a festive spirit quicker, than alcohol on an empty stomach.

“I can’t believe we are here. The others are probably having fun in their quarters. Remind me, why we decided to not fake sick?” one of your colleagues asks you.

“No idea.” You lie immediately. There was a very good reason for you to be here. Or a very handsome one at least. To your disappointment, he was not here yet. “I feel ridiculous in this.”

You gesture down at your dress. Like all the others, you have put in some effort to look pretty for this special occasion. Sadly, the atmosphere and the glances you were getting were making it very clear, that to the Zen’ins you would always be a servant, no matter what you are wearing. Sighing you let your eyes roam over your friends dress. “You look stunning… if only there was someone here to appreciate it. Besides Naobito.” you grimace and then wink at your friend.

The evening goes on and still the person you wanted to see the most wasn’t showing up. It wasn’t surprising, really, Naoya hated these kind of gatherings. You know that. He hates most things and persons, so it only makes sense that he skipped the evening as well.

“I don’t think he will come.” Your friend shrugs and points to the clock. “We might as well take our leave. Chances are he came from a mission and went straight to his rooms.”

“I don’t know who you’re talking about.” The air suddenly felt too sticky, the room too small. You  didn’t think someone noticed you ogling Naoya, obviously you were wrong. You knew it was stupid. He was the worst of them all. But he was also handsome. And in fact, he never treated you unfairly when your services were required in his rooms. Unlike Jinichi or Naobito, who both have already touched you inadequately. You can feel your friends eyes on you, not buying anything you just said.

“Maybe you’re right, we should leave…” you say as you turn around and immediately stumble back as you run into something. Or someone. You want to apologize, but you are so dumbfounded at standing in front of the person who you’ve secretly wished to see all evening, that all you can do is stare. Naoya stands in front of you, his hand rubbing the place on his chest you collided with, his cool eyes focussed on your face.

“I’m.. I’m sorry.” You finally manage after the initial shock lessens. “I didn’t…”

Your sentence is interrupted by a shocked gleeful gasp from your friend next to you.

“The mistletoe. You’re standing under the mistletoe!” she cries with a shit-eating grin on her face. As you lift your eyes, you see that she is right. Someone indeed did hang a mistletoe, and you and Naoya were indeed standing right beneath it. You gulp, lifting your eyes up to look at him again when you feel his warm hand on your face. Gentle. He’s so gentle as he curls his fingers around your face and lifts your chin up, leaning down to you, just before his lips press against yours in the softest of touches. It should only be a quick peck. Just a simple quick kiss because tradition requires it if you stand beneath the mistletoe. But Naoya doesn’t make it quick. It is unhurried and his lips move against yours, softly but firmly before he breaks away.

“You look very pretty tonight.” He says, brushing his finger over you cheek again, before turning around and joining the rest of his family, leaving you staring after him dumbfounded and with a bunch of butterflies in your stomach.

i know it’s kinda sad that none of the top six wanted to room with rin and while i do feel bad for him i can’t even blame the others for it 😭 like yukimiya shidou and karasu (and otoya in a month or so i believe) are all old enough to vote, take out loans, get married, and rent property LMAOAOA if i were them i wouldn’t want to room with some fuckass bossy rude kid in his first year of high school (sorry rin fans but that’s the vibe he gives off in verse i’m p sure) that’s basically glorified babysitting but instead of getting paid they just have ego watching them at all times 😓

satoru cries over every little thing his baby does. his eyes water when they clasp their tiny hand around his pinky. he sniffles when he listens to the newborn squeaks and hiccups. sheds a tear when his baby leaves those big open mouth kisses on his cheek, or tries to gnaw at the tip of his nose. such a precious thing trying to make sense of this big world, with the only understanding of the love they have for you and their father. and satoru loves, loves being a dad.

People be saying "minors dni" and then interact with stuff that was so painfully obviously written by a fourteen year old that came straight from wattpad smh

Listen, If 16 year old me, who was obsessed with skinny emo boys that were so thin their veins bulged out of their arms, knew that this is what I found attractive on a carnal level now, she would have a brain aneurysm
