sometimes i remember i purposefully wrote "you've come to be / the plums outside / my window in the summer," for a friend i was in love with. the relationship didn't last much longer after that, and he doesn't know my plum tree hasn't given fruit in years
#nano bits#you see#i don't think i've ever written something as beautiful as that secret 'goodbye' poem if i may toot my own horn#i named it 'Heliotrope towards Algebia' and my favorite part was:#'you're the mane in the Leonides and i'm/the inflorescence taken by your light' near the very end#one day i might tell him this funny piece of trivia but for now i'm letting whoever comes across this know asdsadas#LIKE he probably does KNOW—there was the 'what we are is this: / comfort; heat / a couple of years / on borrowed time'#that came RIGHT before the plums bit#but man was he in denial for a couple of months before he actually decided to break it off on the conclusion that We Work Better as friends#and he was in-love with someone else; sometimes i wonder if I'll ever be able to write smth for someone again asdasdsa#i guess we'll see! excited to find out

the history teacher atsumu miya x fem!reader (fluff) synopsis: it's hard having the hot history teacher right next door word count: 1.1k warnings: atsumu is so flirtatious omg masterlist | requests are open
a bell rings throughout the high school as students shuffle to get all of their items together. as your gaze finds the clock, you realize it's lunch time for most of the junior students. you take in a deep sigh and clasp your hands together in front of you, "don't forget, chapter five and six tonight, make sure to finish the questions. and there are some on the back!"
you watch as all of your students file out of the room, one of them staying behind. mae, your brightest and most promising student, walks over to you, book in her hand. she always liked staying behind, talking about how you're her favorite teacher. she purses his lips and sighs before finally telling you what plagues her mind.
"i need some advice... about guys,” she brings her focus onto you, figuring that no one could overhear her.
"mmh okay, well i am by far the best person in that department, but what's on your mind?" your eyebrows raise for a second, a calming smile on your lips.
mae takes in a deep breath, eyes flickering between you and the door, "someone has been leaving notes in my locker, anonymous ones. they feature poems but i don't know who it is. i just wish i did so i could talk to him."
"i'm sorry mae, maybe you just have to give it a little more time. if he really likes you, he'll let you know it's him. either through little things that remind you of him or a written confession. i'm sure it'll be fine," you lean against your desk, your own gaze finding the door when you see the figure of your coworker.
he leans up against the door, right eyebrow raised. his shoulders are wide, a polo shirt just slightly unbuttoned. you look back at your student, finger pointing towards the clock, "you should probably get to lunch, wouldn't want you missing out because of a secret admirer."
mae nods, scratching the back of her neck before turning around to leave. with a couple of books in hand, it takes her a minute to look up and notice your coworker standing there, she looks back at you, a cheeky smile on her lips. you shrug your shoulders until she leaves, watching as she gives a short goodbye to the school's most interesting history teacher.
he takes a few steps into the room, shirt ever so slightly small around his biceps. you look over at your computer, eyes trying to hide from his. however, there's something so intriguing about him that you can't help but meet his gaze. him, the history teacher, the one who is in a room next to yours, the one who always finds a way to see you.
"ms. l/n... i overheard you aren't a pro when it comes to romance. considering how beautiful you are, i'm very surprised," he reaches his hand out and taps one of the student's desks, gaze not breaking yours.
you nod, shrugging your shoulders, truly watching him sway into your classroom nearly takes your breath away. the way he can just walk so effortlessly to you, "well mr. miya-"
"you know you can call me atsumu, i've always told you that," a few pieces of rich brown hair falls down, one hand moving to push it back into place.
"i wouldn't think that to be very professional, especially if you call me ms. l/n all the time. besides, i think that miya is a great name," your hands becoming clammy as they push against your desk, heartbeat quickening as he takes a few more steps in your direction.
he lets out a hearty laugh but doesn't stop his runway walk towards you. the leather belt he's sporting keeps the shirt tight enough against his stomach that you can almost see his abs. despite you knowing that starting anything with a coworker is an awful idea, you can't help but wonder if anything could happen between the two of you.
"well, y/n... how does that sound? you call me atsumu and i call you y/n. and by the way, i love how your breath hitches whenever i say your name," atsumu finally makes it to your desk, resting a hand on your desk, body a mere foot away from you.
you bite your top lip while looking away from him, shaking your head slightly. of course your breath hitches as he comes ever so close to you. he's been this way ever since you met him and he's right. you do like him, especially as he tilts his head in such a cocky manner. "i don't know what you're talking about... atsumu."
a smile stretches across his face at his name coming from your mouth. atsumu then leans a little closer to you, breath just barely brushing across your skin. "right... well, y/n, how would you feel about dinner, saturday? because i know an amazing chef," he brings his free hand to rest on his hip, most likely flexing his arm a little.
"dinner? mmh you may have to let me think about it," you turn back to look at him, his face inches away from yours, his golden brown eyes flickering between yours.
"it seems that you may already have an answer," atsumu's ears perk up a little and his hand reaches for yours, "either that or i'm completely misinterpreting how you look at me. by the way, my eyes are up here, for future reference."
heat rises to your cheeks as you bite the inside of your cheek, gaze turning to the floor. you sigh, feeling his hand running over yours. "i have no idea what you're talking about. however, i may have already thought it over and would love to join you for dinner," you finally look back up and can't help but take in a sharp breath.
atsumu smiles, leaning back again, nodding. he runs his thumb along the back of your hand before grabbing his phone from his pocket. he holds it out to you, not able to keep his eyes from you, "you want to add your number in here?"
"alright, atsumu, if you insist."
you begin to type your number into his phone, removing your hand from his. however, neither of you notice it when your student mae has returned to to grab one of her other books, that same knowing smile on her face. she may not be able to recognize the romance within her own life, but she can definitely see how you see the history teacher from next door.

- FANFICTION - 1st part
An Unexpected Meeting
In these radiant weather, Tintin was walking around the flee market, hoping to find some reading treasures. Suddenly, he froze. He had just noticed a magnificent antique: a Caravel.
He looked at it more closely: "The Unicorn" as it was called. Tintin paid the seller, but at that very moment a man rushed to the stall. He was an American, wearing blue felt clothes. He asked Tintin if he didn't want to sell him the beautiful ship. The answer was no, of course. After that, the man warned him against ill-intentioned people who might be willing to do anything to take the ship. The man got further and further away, and finally left.
Suddenly, a voice was heard:
Wonderful...oh... it's just wonderful...
No need to wrap it up, I'll take it as it is, you don't mind if I pay by check?"
An other interested party... thought Tintin.
The salesman answered: If you want to buy it, address it to this boy!
The man replied: I see... so let the boy name his price...
It's not forsale, Tintin replied.
The man introduced himself : My name is Ivan Ivanovich Sakharine. I recently acquired Marlinspike Hall. And,this ship, as you must surely know, has always been part of the estate.
Tintin: Of the late sea captain?
Sakharine:Yes, but the family has suffered great setbacks. They lost everything! They've gone from bad luck to bad luck. . . Let's talk about. . . generations of drinking and irrational behavior.
Tintin: I'm sorry, but as I told you before, it's not for sale. Goodbye,sir.
Sakharine turned to the seller, asking him if he had any idea who he was dealing with.
Seller: You don't know him? It's Tintin. A famous reporter, he is very well known in Belgium but also in the whole world.
Sakharine: I've never heard of this... kid at all. * squinting eyes and looking scornful* Besides, I've only been in Brussels for a short time. He said as he watched Tintin goaway. Then he left without saying a word.
Meanwhile, Tintin returned to his apartment. He had questions in his head. First of all, why did this boat attract so much covetousness? And what secrets could it be hiding?
Tintin put the boat on his cabinet and went to the library. He needed to learn about the history of this caravel. He learned that "The Unicorn" was in fact a ship in Louis XIV's fleet, and that Louis XIV had offered the Captain, Sir Francis Haddock, a priceless treasure as a reward for his loyalty.But the ship was attacked by pirates, and only the Captain escaped.And ever since then, the family has been under a curse.
In the book, an inscription caught his attention:
"Only a true Haddock can discoverthe secret of The Unicorn..."
Later, Tintin returned home and discovered in amazement that the boat had disappeared. On this discovery, he decided to go where he was sure to find it, at Marlinspike Hall, in other words, the present home of Mr.Sakharine.
He arrived on the spot and without surprise, he found the model ship. But suddenly he received a blow to the head and collapsed.
Sakharine : Welcome to Marlinspike Hall !
Tintin went straight to the point: I came to retrieve my property !!
Sakharine: I'm sorry. I am not sure I follow you...
Tintin : Oh, I think you do !
Sakharine: I'm afraid you're mistaken, Mr. Tintin!
Tintin: There's no mistake ! It belongs to me!
Sakharine: Are you sure?
Tintin: Well,of course I'm sure, I took it home, I put it on the cabinet in the living room. A cat came in and dropped it while I was chasing it ! But, hum... (clears throat) How can that be? The mast is intact....It's not my ship.
Sakharine: It certainly isn't your ship, young man! This one I've had for a very long time.
Tintin : I am sorry, it looks identical.
Sakharine: Well, look can bedeceiving !
Tintin: Yes, indeed, but I don't understand ! Why did Sir Francis make two ships exactly alike? And you have one already ! Why do you want another one ? What is about this model that would cause someone to steal it ?
Sakharine: Goodness me! Why so many questions?
Tintin: It's my job, there could be a story here. That's what I do, you see.
Sakharine: Well, it's not a great mystery, Sir Francis Haddock was a drunkard, and a hopeless reprobate. He was doomed to fail and he bequeathed that failure to his sons !
Tintin: So it's true! The Haddock line is cursed!
Sakharine: What else have you find out ?
Tintin:What is there to find?
Sakharine: That depends what you'relooking for !
Tintin: I'm looking for answers,...Mr.Sakharine.
Sakharine: You're looking in the wrong place. ...It's late! I think you should go home, young man ! Nestor! Take him home!
The butler named Nestor met Tintin at the door and said, "It's too bad, sir... That the mast is broken on your model,sir... I hope you've found all the parts, things get lost so easily.
Sakharine called Nestor back, who finally greeted Tintin before closing the door.
A few minutes later, Tintin went home. He took the keys out of his pocket before he realized his door had been forced. When he entered his apartment, he discovered that all the rooms had been returned, but absolutely nothing was missing. Meanwhile, it was clear that this burglar was looking for something specific, but what?
Suddenly, Tintin saw a light under one of the pieces of furniture, especially the one where he had put the caravel down a few hours earlier. He went down to look, and found a small cylindrical silver-colored object. Inside it was a scroll :
Tintin returned to his office to examine what he had just found.
Then he read the manuscript:
"Three brothers joined , three Unicorns in company sailing in the noonday sun will speak. For'tis from the light will dawn. And then shines forh the Eagle's cross. »
Just after the message, strange signs were written.
Tintin doesn't really understand the meaning of all this:
I don't understand what it is. But it explains why they ransacked my apartment. He must have been looking for this, and they didn't find it. Which means...they'll be back...
Suddenly, the doorbell rang, the concierge went to see who it could be at this hour. Going down the stairs, Tintin recognized the voice of the man he had met in the flee market : the "American". He told Mrs. Pinson that he would take care of it.
The man called out to Tintin: My boy, is that you?
Tintin: What do you want?
The man:Listen, I won't tell you everything, but I swear to God, I never thought he would kill for that !
Tintin: Who? Who are you talking about?
Man: I'm trying to tell you that your life is in danger!
Tintin: Answer me, WHO?
The man didn't have time to answer because suddenly he was shot. He collapsed in the hall of the building with just enough time to leave a clue. With his blood, the man had indicated several letters that made up the word: "K-A-R-A-B-O-U-D-J-A-N."
The next morning, Tintin received the Dupondt for the investigation. The man who had been targeted was called Barnabé Dawes, and he was a very high-ranking Interpol inspector. The Dupondt retrieved the newspaper for evidence and left. Tintin walked them to the door. He stepped out for a moment to say goodbye to the Dupondt as they left. He didn't notice that a man had just stolen his wallet, in which the scroll was. Indeed, earlier in the morning, the Dupondt told Tintin that they were on the trail of a pickpocket who had been raiding the city and its surroundings for several weeks.
••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
Meanwhile, on the boat Karaboudjan...
The ship's captain, Kathrynn Haddock, was busy making an inventory of the goods on the ship, when suddenly one of her "crewmen" injected her with a syringe of a powerful soporific. It was Tom, one of the ship's employees, under the command of a certain Sakharine.
Sakharine had become an intruder on the boat. And now that the captain was out of harm's way, he could take complete control of the ship. Kathrynn found herself trapped in her own boat, in her own holds.
••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
Meanwhile, while Tintin was quietlywatching the Dupondt leave, he was stopped by two so-called "deliverymen"... who immediately applied a chloroform swab under hisnose. The two men loaded him into a crate and drove him to Karaboudjan.
Tintin woke up chained to a cage. Hesoon realized that his pockets were being searched.
Sakharine arrived in the hold andexclaimed:
Tom, Alllan! Have you found it ?
Allan said, He doesn't have it !
Sakharine : If it it is not here, then where is it ?
Tintin, barely awake, answered: Where iswhat?
Sakharine : The scroll from The Unicorn, apiece of paper like this !
Tintin: You mean the poem ?
Sakharine : Yes...
Tintin: The calligraphic poem ?
Sakharine : Yes...
Tintin : Who was in a cylinder ?
Sakharine: Yes !
Tintin : Concealed in the mast?
Sakharine : YES!
Tintin smiled a little and said: Idon't have it !
Sakharine went into a black anger.
He brandished the sword he had hiddenin his cane and threatened Tintin.
You know the value of this scroll,otherwise why would you want it?
Tintin: Two caravels, and two scrollsforming part of an enigma, you have one, you need the other, butthat's not it, there's something else...
Sakharine: I'll find it with orwithout your help. I advise you to think about how useful you are to me...
Sakharine and her henchmen are on theirway back.
We'll deal with him on the way, he says.
By the time Sakharine reached thebridge, he was angrier than ever.
Ah! He's lying, he must have thatmanuscript, the question is what did he do with it ?
Allan : We searched it thoroughly, boss!
Sakharine : I want you to go down there and makehim talk, break every bone in his body if you have to!
Another henchman of Sakharin's cameshouting:
Mr Sakharine, Mr Sakharine, the Captainhas come to her senses, she's conscious and accuses us of mutiny. Shesays you turned the crew against her!
Sakharine : Well, don't just stand there, give hera shot!
Yes, Boss, they say.
Allan and Tom went back to interrogateTintin, who unfortunately had no means of escape.
Well, this time, you're going to tellus where the scroll is ! Said Allan.
Tintin: I've already told you that Idon't have it.
Allan: All right! We'll have fun then!Tom, you joining the party?
Of course, he said, closing hisstitches.
Allan took Tintin's hair to hold hishead and started kicking him in the stomach.
*Cough*... Tintin spat blood.
After a few minutes, Allan pulled out agun to try to get something from Tintin. But it was more to scare himthan anything else, because Sakharine hadn't ordered to kill him inany way.
Allan : You're going to tell us where thescroll is, or else you can say goodbye to your life !
He placed the gun to his temple.
Obviously, Tintin didn't say a word. Helooked at them scornfully and mockingly.
Allan, very upset by the situation,kicked him in the face, then continued with a punch. He then grabbedTintin's collar. And looked him in the eyes.
Allan : You should tell us, becausewe're really going to end up killing you if you don't.
Tintin, about to faint, tried to say afew words.
Allan: What ? I can't understand whatyou're saying ! (Allan didn't realize that Tintin had actually calledthem idiots.)
And with those words he hit him again.This time, his body couldn't resist anymore, Tintin fainted.
Allan : We won't get anything out ofhim now.
Tom: Yeah, let's go tell the boss! And,it's not going to be a party... He hasn't told us a thing...
When they arrived in Sakharine's cabin, Allan and Tom told him that Tintin hadn't confessed to anything aboutthe parchment's hiding place. And, of course, Sakharine became furious:
I told you to make him talk, not to make him sleep! We're wasting precious time while this kid "rests"...In the meantime, go about your business as a sailor. And, Tom, beforeyou do that, you'd better check that Haddock is all right. I don'twant her to find out about our shenanigans. It's much too early forthat now. She mustn't find out. It'll make revenge all the sweeter. He said, rubbing his hands together.

Long Way Down
Ynea,
I tend to write in my own satisfaction. I guess you could say it's very cryptic or pellucid– depends on how you understand it. This series will be emotinally driven, poem written (or so I try) I hope you could bear with it. Maybe this a 15-letter-to-you, maybe not. I'll let you wander off with my writing. I couldn't say anything much, just know that this is the reason on why I kept bugging you on your favorite song. (and i seriously didn't expect this sappy/sentiment music)
I. Come up to meet you
a. Maybe you repel goodbyes, because they mean a lot. Not seeing you, forgetting you, memories on boundaries and you. But until there's sun, there'll be moon. Goodbyes mean new hellos.
II. Tell you I'm sorry
b. You feel sorry for yourself, you told me once. Trust me, I've been through a lot worse. I could say it's fine, because it'll break you down but you will stand up again because you have that in you. And please, wander the 'in' you have, learn it.
III. You don't know how lovely you are
c. Little dove, you're pure and beautiful, belittle not and let off the mask.
IV. Tell me your secrets
d. You're the book on a shelf that's finger traced and tattered enough, don't let you be read by anyone. Eyes can be blind, mind can deem, mouth can straddle the fence.
V. And ask me your questions
e. We all have this tiny voice in our conscience that keeps bugging our lives. They can be frustrating and confusing huh? At least they make you feel you have someone you can talk to.
VI. Nobody said it was easy
f. And if you think there's no other way, repose. It isn't called a life if the bridge is facile to cross.
VII. No one ever said it would be so hard
g. Life can be cruel huh? Bridges can be overly steep. Take a deep breath, compose– grasp yourself. You will make it. You will.
VIII. Oh take me back to the start
h. And when you think you wasted too much time notching up something, chances will be your confidant. Don't rush, everything's a start.
IX. I was just guessing at numbers and figures
i. There are countless pebbles beneath the ocean, choose what you admire. We still have a long way to go.
X. Pulling your puzzles apart
j. You have liked someone, you told me once. Everyone's a puzzle, you are. Maybe you don't admit, but he became a piece of you, added to what's already formed. Done.
XI. Oh and I rush to the start
k. You feel happy, we know. When you think no one's glancing, your facade shows. Get your favorite pen, open a book. Start anew.
XII. Running in circles, chasing our tails
l. It's either you fall, or you have already fallen. If in case, you get lost, trust yourself to guide you this time. You have listened to people enough.
XIII. Coming back as we are
m. Everything is a start. But they are different. You can't go back and forth, that's not living. That's a halt. You don't want that. You don't, you won't.
XIV. Nobody said it was easy
n. The moon seems lull, but they feel tired too. The stars are beautiful, they still feel tired. The sun's ever shining, or so they thought. Just like you.
XV. No one ever said it would be so hard
o. Repose.
Compose.
Perdure.
I didn't pull a wreck of piece of writing did I? You were unexpected in my life. Well, you still are. This is all I can come up with, bear with it. I thank you though, for listening to my so called 'kaadikan sa bts'. Seriously. You get me in a very weird way possible. And for everything else. Welcome to the 15 club, I'll retire soon. In whatever you do, repose, compose, perdure. But Taehyung is still mine.
*Disclaimer: Quotes are all from the song The Scientist by Coldplay.
