Pairing: Matt Sturniolo X Female Reader

Warnings⚠️: SMUT SMUT SMUT. There’s nothing like crazy crazy at least that’s how I feel, but uhhh they definitely FUCKIN🖤

Song for the imagine: Creepin- Metro Boomin, The Weeknd, 21 Savage

And if you’re Creepin, please don’t let it show

Oh baby, I don’t wanna know

The triplets had decided to have dinner at a fancy restaurant for hitting 5 million subscribers on YouTube. They invited Madi and I.

I have never been out to a fancy restaurant, so I was so excited to play dress up especially with Madi! We both decided on wearing black mini dresses, and we looked so hot

As we walked out to the living room we hear Chris

“Can we get a little commotion for the dress!! Holy shit yall look good” he said

“Thank youuuu” we both said giggling

Unbeknownst to Y/N, Matt was struggling to rip his eyes away from her. The way the dress hugged her curves, made her breast pop and her legs look long and beautiful. He was struggling badly

We had called an Uber to to the restaurant, and when we got there Madi and I felt so fucking luxurious. I mean high ceilings, thousand dollar light fixtures, hot older men….we were having a blast

“Holy shit we could find a sugar daddy” I said to them

“Omg let’s be on the lookout” Madi said winking at me

It seemed like they hired good looking people here because the waiters and waitress were out of a fucking model catalog

“Nick I see a whole lot of eye candy for you” I said looking over at him

“You’re fucking telling me…..my mouth is on the floor” he said looking around

“The women are hot too” I said winking at Chris and Matt

“I’m seeing a lot of blonde….not really my type” Chris said

“Not really my vibe” Matt said looking at the girls

“Your fucking loss every bodies hot here” I said to them

We had a waiter who was the definition of a wet dream. Black slicked back hair, dark eyes, tan skin and sharp facial features

“Dude he’s checking you out” Madi said

“Ehhh he’s alright” I said to her

“Alright? That man’s so fucking fine” Nick said

“10$ says he will flirt with you when he comes back” Madi said

“You have a bet” I said reaching my hand across the table and shaking her hand

When the waiter came by he gave us our drinks, and came back to me to take our orders. Everyone ordered before me and finally it was my turn

“And for the beautiful lady?” He asked me

“Oh…umm I’ll have the steak, medium well, and what are the sides?” I asked looking up at him

He flashed a sideways smile before looking at my lips and reading me the sides

“I’ll do the mashed potatoes and the Cesar salad” I said closing my menu and handing it to him

“Great pick pretty” he said all flirty, and then walked away

“You owe me 10 fucking dollars” Madi said laughing at me

“Why do guys who I don’t find attractive always hit on me” I said rolling my eyes

“Because you’re hot, ummm you radiate feminine power and you smell good” she said to me

“Boooo boring” I said to her

“Ouu how much you wanna bet he’ll leave his number and give us some type of discount” Chris said wiggling his brows

“Alright let’s not use her looks to take advantage” Matt said chiming in

“The number maybe, but a discount I doubt look at this place too boujee” I said to Chris

We had all finished our dinner, and gotten dessert and it was time for the bill to come around

The waiter came up to me, and handed me the bill while winking….bold fucking move

I opened the check and my jaw dropped

“SHUT THE FUCK UP” I said laughing

“WHAT IS IT” Nick yelled

“He fucking gave me his number, and gave the whole bill 20% off” I said laughing

“NO FUCKING WAY” Chris and Madi said

“I just saved yall 100 dollars” I said passing the bill down to Matt

“Dude you’re coming with us everywhere” Chris said shaking his head

“You gonna call him?” Madi asked

“Fuck no, but if I want a discounted meal I might” I said shrugging my shoulders

“Ew what a fucking loser he put a heart next to his number” Matt said laughing

“I was thinking the same thing” I said laughing with Matt

We had gotten another Uber back home, and everyone went to sit on the couch to watch a movie, but I decided to go to my room because I was so tired

I had changed and took off my makeup, washing my face and had been scrolling on tik tok for 20 minutes before I heard a knock at the door

“Come innn” I said locking my phone and putting it down

“Hey” Matt said coming in

“Oh hey Matt” I said smiling at him

“Can I chill with you? They’re being so loud and annoying out there” he said

“Of course you don’t have to ask” I said as he walked over and sat on the bed

“Do you have any plans for tomorrow” I asked Matt

“Nah, I think they want to film a vlog” he said sitting in front of me

“Oh funnnn” I said cracking my knuckles

“You should come with to film” he said

“Maybe I have some plans tomorrow morning, but after sure” I said to him

“Ouuu plans with the waiter?” He said wiggling his brows

“Oh god no eww” I said laughing

“God you just looked so hot today in that outfit” Matt blurted out

“WHAT?” i said genuinely shocked

“I mean….uh I’m not sure why I said that” he said blushing

“I appreciate it, I really do especially coming from you” I said smiling at him

“Oh yeah?” He asked

“Yeah Matt. I have liked you for so long I have waited for the day you’d compliment me” I said to him

“I have liked you so much too…..I’m so glad we feel the same” he responded

“You looked so hot tonight too” I said batting my lashes at him

“I did?” He asked honestly shocked that I called him hot

“Matt you’re really fucking hot. Not sure how you don’t know this” I said laughing at him

“Just kiss me already you’re begging for it at this point” he said laughing

I rolled my eyes at him and grabbed him by his shirt pulling him in and crashing our lips together

When I pulled away his pupils were dilated and his breathing was shallow

“I have wanted to do that for so long” he said looking at my lips

“Me fucking too” I said licking my lips

I pulled him back in for another kiss, and slowly we started to make out. I eventually scooched down, and Matt was above me now

Kissing my lips to my jaw then down to my neck.

“Do you want this?” He asked me

“More than anything” I said out in a sigh

Matt began kissing my neck again, and came back up to make out with me again our tongues fighting for dominance as our teeth clashed together

I pushed Matt back, so I could remove my shirt

“No bra” he said tilting his head

“Oh yes my bad I was getting ready for bed, and wasn’t expecting to fuck you, so how dare I not have some decorum” I said sarcastically

“Shut up” he said biting his lip before kissing me again moving his kisses down to my neck, and then to the valley of my breasts slowly moving to take my left nipple into his mouth, sailing his tongue around it

“Fuck Matt” I moaned out

He then went to my right nipples taking that one into his mouth as well

As he was doing that he slid his hand down to my waistband, and slowly slid his hand into my underwear snaking his hand to my pussy

“So wet” he said before licking my nipple and taking it back into his mouth

I just mewled at this feeling so fucking good

He slowly started to rub my clit and then switched to my left nipple

“Matt this feels so good keep going” I said running my hands through his hair

He slowly slid his middle finger into my pussy stretching me out, and causing me to gasp at the feeling, slowly pumping his finger in and out of me. About two minutes later he add his ring finger in

“FUCK” I yelled out

“SHHHH” he says laughing and covering my mouth

“SORRY” I said laughing with him

He kept fingering me for a good two minutes before I stopped him

“Baby I need more” I said looking into his eyes, and he nodded

Matt removed his pants and boxers, and the removed my pants and underwear

“Spit” he said holding his hand out, so I did

He then brought his hand down to his dick slowly stroking it

“I could cum right now” he says rolling his eyes back

Once he got his dick wet he then came down and licked a strip up my pussy

“Oh my god” I said shuddering

He slowly slid his dick in, us gasping as he pushed in further

“Alright we have to be really quiet” he said bottoming out

“Yes baby anything for you” I said nodding

“Good” he said and slowly started to thrust into me

Matt was pounding into me and I’m sure the whole house was hearing it if they were out in the living room

“Fuck Matt” I said clenching down onto him

“Keep doing that baby, and I won’t make it much longer” he said as he thrusted into me

Matt then turned me onto my left side lifting my right leg up and started to pound into me

“FUCKKK MATT” I screamed out

“SHUT UP” he said and smacked my ass

“I’m sorry it feels so good” I said with my eyes shut and my brows furrowed

Matt kept thrusting into me harder and faster, and I’m sure everyone had to hear us fucking at this point

“Fuck Matt I’m gonna cum” I said

And he brought his hand down to my clit using his thumb to rub the sensitive bundle

“SHIIIITTT” I moaned out clenching down on him harder

“Come on baby give it to me” he said thrusting harder

Matt started to rub harder and pound into me harder

“IM CUMMING IM CUMMING” I yelled out and clenched down on him as I came all over him. My thighs shaking and my knees bending as my toes pointed…..this was the most intense orgasm of my life

“Matt Matt Matt” I said as I was still coming down from my high

He let me ride out my high, and then pulled out of me stroking his dick, and cumming all over my pelvic bone and lower stomach

His lower abdomen constricting and his body shuddering forward

“Fuck fuck fuck” he said as he rode out his high

He went and grabbed a wet towel to wipe me down

“Lets shower baby” Matt said

“I agree, and maybe round 2 in the shower” I said winking at him

“I’m do-“ before he could finish his sentence we were cut off

There was banging on my ceiling coming from upstairs….Nicks room

“STOP FUCKING WEVE HEARD ENOUGH” we heard Nick yell through the vents

“SORRY” we screamed back

“IM FUCKING SCARRED” we heard Chris yell back

“WERE SORRY WERE HEADING TO FUCK IN THE SHOWER NOW” Matt yelled and I smacked him

“FUCK YOU GUYS! YOURE SICK” Nick yelled back

We ended up laughing, and heading over to the shower.

The End

Hope yall enjoyed this one too, and I’m about to start my last request and then I’m going to post my own ideas for imagines🖤🖤🤭

Event | Act 3.5 Event - NEW ERA GARDEN | Chapter 7

*Contains spoilers for Act 12 - eternal moment*

Yukio: Everyone looks so cool.

Costume Manager: The fit seems fine too.

Syu: Yeah. Thanks for gettin’ this all pulled together in such a short amount of time.

Costume Manager: No, no, it’s nothing! It’s not every day I get an opportunity to do something like this, so I’m honored!

Yuzo: I’m used to wearin’ Japanese-style clothes, but the Shinsengumi’s haoris still feel too youthful.

Kasumi: Let’s take a commemorative photo together!

Hiro: You’re putting that on the web version of “Spotlight,” aren’t you?

Kasumi: Ehe, how’d you know?

Yukio: How about striking a pose and saying “Go, Shinsengumi!”?

Kasumi: Join us, Yukio-san!

Yukio: Eh, me too?

Costume Manager: If that’s the case, I have a spare dandara haori, so why don’t you put one on too, Yukio-san?

Syu: Sounds like a great idea.

Zen: Who’s Yukio playing?

Yuzo: Yamanami-san maybe?

Yukio: But I’m not an actor--.

Reni: …

Yukio: Umm… I just won’t do it! It’d be like having a tourist in the mix!

Yukio: Just go ahead and take the picture!

Zen: …

· • —– ٠ ✤ ٠ —– • ·

Yukio: Well then, let’s end rehearsal here today. You can all put your costumes away and head home now.

Yuzo: Good work today.

Kasumi: Good work, everyone!

Zen: Nice work.

Yukio: Ah, Zen-san.

Zen: Hm?

Yukio: It’s your turn for a one-on-one interview, Zen-san.

Zen: Oh, gotcha.

Yukio: Should we go to the usual bar?

Zen: Let me decide where we go.

Yukio: That’s fine, where do you want to go?

· • —– ٠ ✤ ٠ —– • ·

Zen: Here you are.

Yukio: Stew…!?

Zen: It’s been a while since I’ve made somethin’ like this for you.

Zen: The recipe is the latest version of the one that I’ve been workin’ on since you nagged me about it back then.

Yukio: Zen-san…! I never thought I’d be able to eat this again! I can’t wait!

Zen: …

Zen: (It was really hard to come up with this recipe.)

· • —– ٠ ✤ ٠ —– • ·

That day, for the umpteenth time, we met to review the stew before dinner.

“How is it?”

When I asked that, Yukio smiled as he sat alone in the dining room, eating the stew.

“…It’s really good. But… I think it could use a little more white wine and maybe some more miso. Maybe a little less butter too. But just a bit!”

“…Got a long list of demands for your stew, as usual.”

“Ehehe.”

“I’ll try that recipe next month.”

I sighed as Yukio held out his empty plate.

“Seconds, please!”

“You literally just had lunch. This is what I’m makin’ for dinner.”

Yukio pouts, insisting I was only doing that because of what he said.

“C’mon, just a little bit? We can have some together, Zen-san.”

“Fine, but just a bit.”

I ended up putting some more stew on Yukio’s plate and put some on my own before sitting down with him.

“It’s better to have a meal with someone else, after all.”

“Doesn’t matter if you eat with me, it’s boring either way.”

Yukio smiles at me while I silently return to eating my food.

“That’s not true. Generally speaking, you want to eat with other people, don’t you, Zen-san?”

“You sayin’ I’m a loner?”

“Yeah. I’m with you, so I guess I kind of get what you mean. The MANKAI dorms were built because I wanted a place where all the troupe members could live together like a family.”

Yukio looked right at me as he said that.

“People like you should create a ‘place’ like that for yourselves someday, Zen-san.”

“A place?”

“Yes. This place I created is unique. I’m forever grateful for the precious time you all share in my life.”

I was a little surprised that Yukio would think about such an admirable thing, given the way he was always pushing everyone.

“The only way lonely people like us can be at peace is by making a place for ourselves!”

“…I ain’t like you.”

“Ehhh, I think we’re pretty alike.”

Despite my denial, Yukio’s opinion got some nods of approval.

But being lonely just doesn’t match with me.

No one else thinks of me like that.

Yukio is a strange man. He so easily opens up and shows what he’s feeling inside without even realizing it.

Despite having been betrayed before, I’ve been tempted to rekindle the bonds with the others that I never thought I’d want again, since joining this theater company.

I guess Yukio is right, maybe I am a lonely person after all.

· • —– ٠ ✤ ٠ —– • ·

Yukio: …Snf.

Zen: Old age makin’ you weepy?

Yukio: …This taste never gets old.

Yukio: You’ve had the love of my stomach ever since the day we met, Zen-san. The fried rice from back then was good too.

Zen: Oh, that store went outta business.

Yukio: Eeh!? Really!? I had no idea… That’s shocking.

Zen: The owner seemed happy at the closing party because a lotta the former staff was there, me included.

Yukio: I see. So you didn’t end up missing it in the end. You used to get so mad while you were working there part-time…

Zen: …You’re a lonely guy, too, but you’ve done well enough on your own for so long.

Yukio: By the way, it’d be a shame if this long-awaited stew were any saliter…

Zen: Don’t cry into the stew. It’s gross…

Yukio: Ehehe. Even back then I was making a place for myself, you know. I thought I was doing okay, but…

Yukio: When I was allowed to come back to Japan, I was thinking about what I’d even do when I got back.

Yukio: I realized that the first generation MANKAI Company was really the best place I had in my life.

Zen: That why you’re afraid of fightin’ with Reni?

Yukio: --Ah, yeah.

Yukio: …I’m kind of tempted to talk with you more, Zen-san. About a lot of things.

Zen: Even back then, I told you to tell me if somethin’ was wrong, but you never did.

Yukio: It’s because I couldn’t do it back then

Zen: …Why?

Yukio: I think maybe you’re right, because I was scared. Our bond was reconnected, but if something happens to break it, it’ll all fall apart again.

Yukio: If I get into a fight with Reni, I’m sure everything would happen all over again…

Zen: …Yukio Tachibana’s a human being too, ain’t he?

Yukio: You’re right. I forgot that while cleaning the costume.

Zen: Because it was broken once but brought back together, that bond must be stronger than ever. And each one of us is even more developed as a person.

Zen: Ain’t no way somethin’ like that is gonna be broken so easily. So confront it head on. It’s not with the Reni from then, but with the Reni now.

Yukio: Right…

Zen: The one and only place where we belong will probably never be taken from us again, so we should cherish it until the day we die.

Yukio: …That’s the way of a lonely man’s life.

Yukio: Seconds, please!

Zen: Hmph, you still eat as much as ever.

[salamispots]

I woke up at 3:45 am with shrine music in my brain so I'm gonna yell a little about totk spoilers below fhhhhh mostly about game things no real plot stuff haha

the intRO :'D that mononoke touch ahhhhh idk why but specifically the scene/shot of link's hearts going down from the wiggly worm demon smoke thing is stuck in my brain/makes me feel emotional

also the whole 'I was gone for a bit and the world looks different but sort of the same/everyone moved on' made me feel a little like the evangelion movie when shinji wakes up and he's still the same gives me feeLINGS not necessarily bad; maybe a little bittersweet? idk

I keep giggling at how GOOFY some of the weapons look when they're fused and the names (like...thick stick stick or something LMAO)

the glee of using a rocket for the first time also I'm building the most basic shit hahah I'm not particularly good/creative at stuff like this

ahhhh I loved how there's still those big stone talus in the game and the first one I come across is disguised as a base for bokoblin

the instantaneous fuck off panic of running into those red arm/hands and panicking because you run out of stamina while running away hahah

speaking of tHE MUSIC OH MY GOD I love the shrine music so much? and the first time when you go to the depths when you're falling the tone shift is so eerie

exploring too far into an area where you're too underleveled and getting one hit killed by something haha

when you leave the sky islands for the first time I was hanging out at the very top and was like...surely they're not saying just to jump off? I thought you were supposed to build something to get down but I sorta just fell off for the heck of it and I was extremely charmed by the fact that they said yes you can jump off and just dive into some random body of water from miles above in the sky and again I love the music for that/when you're first introduced to the sky islands

sky islands fun but it's nice being on the ground hahahfg/having a glider now and not constantly breaking into a sweat at hEIGHTS haha like....I went to the top of the temple and crawled all the way around to the other side of the locked doors lmao but the amount of times I slipped and fell of those tiny ledges

I still love freefalling and using the glider at the last second

running into a tree for the first time HAHA and the ominous tiptoeing after you

also yeah controls feel better now/just had to play more but I still definitely keep pressing the wrong buttons for things

I think once I got off the sky islands and to the ground that was kinda when I got fully invested? like again before actually buying the game and playing it I was kinda like ehhh I'll probably play it some point

also the game reigniting my need for link zelda ganon ot3 content :'D

the fondness of having character designs be 3/4 torso ahahha

PURAH I love her ouTFIT

the little detail of chasing fish and the fish trying to escape actually beached themselves on the shore??

LINK HUMMING WHILE COOKING I've only recognized one song so far (saw someone on reddit say they also heard song of storms and it clicked in my brain so now two haha)

oh! I love the amount of nooks and crannies to explore! like all the wells and caves >:0

ngl didn't end up finishing botw (I absolutely did look up the ending before I played totk HAHA >:'D ) because I ended up exploring the majority of the map/got bored after that and I didn't particularly like how the map felt empty/the same after a while? idk if the same thing will pop up again for me in totk but I do like how there's some new enemies and it feels more lively so far? we'll see

ALSO LMAO fighting bokoblins with a moblin and the moblin just straight picking up a bokoblin and throwing it at me??

Accidentally Dating (9)

Summary: A series of accidental dates and meetings between Kagome and Satoru over the years.

Pairing: KagomexGojo

Series Master list

Satoru huffs as he walks behind Suguru. This mission honestly should have been given to the second years.

It's so boring. A waste of time in his opinion for him and Suguru to be assigned to this. They are the strongest! Shouldn't they be doing cooler missions? Something worth some effort? So, what if he and Suguru are only first years? They're stronger than the second years and the third years combined.

Even InuYasha is stronger than the second years.

"Stop pouting," Suguru says, "The faster you take this seriously, the faster we get this done." Suguru huffs as he stuffs his hands in his pockets.

"Tch. Whatever." He rolls his eyes and then comes to a stop. Wait a damn minute. That feels like Kagome. She never said she was gonna be back today. Did she come back and not tell him?

The audacity. She knows he needs to know when she comes back home from the past. He doesn't care what hour it is. He doesn't care if he's on a mission or not; he wants to be the first person to know when she is back.

And she didn't even send him a text message.

The. Audacity.

"What's wrong?" Suguru walks over to him and then looks over at the girls running track. "Seriously?" He sighs. "We aren't here to pick up girls. We have a mission to do."

"GOME-CHAN!" Satoru calls, smirking when she nearly falls over. Kagome glares and jogs over to him.

He blinks. Have her legs always been that long? And what kind of outfit is that? She may as well be wearing underwear. And why is her hair up in a high ponytail? She's showing everyone how elegant her nape is. Where is the decency? Doesn't she realize she's surrounded by a bunch of horny teenagers? She can't be walking around like that.

Satoru bites his tongue. He outta tell Dad and Mom about this.

"Satoru? What are you doing here?" She crosses her arms. Her high ponytail and bangs are a combo he didn't know he needed, though she should only wear that around him.

Wait. He gives himself a mental shake. Now is not the time.

"Investigating. You didn't call me." He pokes out his bottom lip and wobbles it just for show. She should be more considerate of his feelings. "Or text me."

"It was so early when I got in." Kagome shrugs.

"So?" What does she mean by it was so early? He doesn't care how early or late it is. He wants to know when she is back. "I don't care what time it is. You could have called me. I would have stopped by."

"Um, hi?" Suguru says, giving Satoru a look that says they will talk later.

"Hi! I'm Higurashi Kagome. Satoru and I go way back." Kagome smiles at Suguru.

"Gojo," Satoru huffs. Is she still introducing herself as Higurashi? Even Mom jokingly calls herself Gojo here and there. Sota still calls himself Higurashi only to carry on the legacy.

"She knows who you are." Suguru shakes his head. "Geto Suguru."

"No, her name is Gojo Kagome. Last I checked, we never got divorced."

"We never got married either."

"I'm not the one holding up the ceremony."

"You never even asked."

"Ask? I said —"

"Stop!" Suguru interrupts, pressing a hand to his temple. "I missed some milestones. Wife? How do you have a wife when you are only 15?"

"I'm not his wife," Kagome says, shaking her head.

"You said you were."

"We were like 11."

"So, you admit it."

"Toru," she warns.

"Where's the rest of your outfit?" He motions with his hand. How long has she been running around in that getup? Is that why she didn't want to tell him she was back? She must have known she'd be wearing this today. Satoru frowns. Is it another guy?

Nah. Kagome wouldn't see another guy. She has him.

She glances down and frowns. "This is the gym uniform."

Uniform? That is not a uniform. His outfit? Yes. Her outfit? Absolutely not.

"Where's the principal? I need to talk to em."

Suguru grips his shoulder. "We have things to do, Satoru."

"Ehhh, nothing is more important than Kagome, and that is not a uniform. Look at those boys ogling her," Satoru rants, and then pauses. He presses his face close to Suguru. "And where are your eyes looking?" His temple throbs. Has Suguru been checking Kagome out this whole time? He glares. Suguru isn't fooling him. Kagome is his type.

Suguru better not be getting ideas. He saw that smile Suguru flashed at Kagome.

"I'm the only one focused on the mission!" Suguru huffs and pushes against Satoru's chest. "Did you forget why we came here?"

"Tch." Satoru directs his attention back to Kagome.

"Kagome!" some girls yell, running over to her. Satoru inhales. Why are they coming over here? Can't they see that he and Kagome are having a conversation?

"Whoa!" a girl with short black hair exclaims. "Are you new here?" She leans forward and Satoru grimaces. Why is she so close to him? "I'm Eri," she chirps. "I can show you around if you want."

"Uh Eri," another girl says. "I think these are Kagome's friends?"

Kagome sighs. "This is Satoru and Suguru. This is Eri, Yuka, and Ayumi."

"Oohh, so these are your friends, then Kagome?" Eri asks, trying to wrap her arms around Satoru, but he sidesteps her and twists his lips back.

"I'm her husband," Satoru deadpans, throwing an arm around Kagome's shoulders. "Can't you show us around? We'd hate to get lost here."

Suguru smacks his face and groans.

Eri pouts while the other two girls scratch their faces.

"Fine," Kagome sighs. "Girls, I'll catch up with you before the next period." Kagome waves goodbye to the girls and leads them inside the school. "So, why are you here?"

"Mission. You felt anything weird around here?" Satoru tips his sunglasses down and looks around the perimeter. There are some curses here, but they seem to be hiding. Maybe because he and Suguru are here, but most likely because Kagome is here.

"Wait... does she know?" Suguru asks.

"Of course she knows. Kagome is my wife." Satoru shakes his head. What is with Suguru? He doesn't normally need so much hand-holding. "But she isn't a sorcerer, and I don't want her to be."

"I'd rather not attend Jujutsu High," Kagome quips. "I've got enough on my plate without having to worry about missions on top of studying."

Satoru nods. Plus, she's still collecting shards in the past. Not that Suguru knows that. No one outside of the family knows that.

"I have so many questions, but I will wait until after we are done. Has anyone gone missing around here? Someone not showing up to classes that normally does?" Suguru crosses his arms and stares at Kagome, waiting for an answer.

Kagome blinks.

Satoru sighs. Kagome wouldn't know that. Hell, she fits the description of a student that doesn't show up half the time.

"Never mind that," Satoru cuts in. "Feel anything off?"

Kagome taps a finger to her lips. "Now that you mention it, Hojo-kun was being weird."

Hojo... kun?

"But I don't think that has anything to do with why you two are here. There are some curses that like to hang out in the music room, but they're mostly flyheads and don't do too much. They just watch." She shrugs. "If there is anything else going on, then it's probably not the school itself."

Suguru sighs.

Satoru rolls his eyes. Why is she coming this way? He tightens his hold on Kagome and makes a point of looking away from Eri.

"Kagome!" Eri yells. "Sorry for bothering you. Would you be able to help Hojo-kun out? He's back by the field."

"Uhh..."

"Thanks so much!" Eri reaches for Kagome's hand and pulls her into a hug. "He's by the field, right next to the equipment. I can show Satoru around." Eri beams, and Satoru swallows the disgust down. He doesn't need anyone to show him around. It's a school, not a maze.

"Well okay," Kagome says. "Satoru, be nice."

"I'm always nice."

Suguru snorts. Satoru flips him off. He is a nice guy. He hasn't told Eri off yet. And he had that dog house built for InuYasha. He's very nice.

"Eri, was it?" Suguru asks, after Kagome heads back out of the school. "Do you know of anyone that's missed a lot of classes lately? The principal asked us to investigate."

"The principal did?" Eri hums. "Kagome misses a lot of classes because of her diseases." Eri glances at Satoru and then looks away. "But other than that... well, there is one other person who hasn't been around much. He had an outburst in class the last time he showed up, and it was freaky. The room started shaking, but there was no record of an earthquake that day."

"Oh? What's his name?" Suguru smiles.

Eri glances at Satoru again, who angles his body away from her. Why is she looking at him? What a creep.

"So, you're Kagome and Sota's brother?" Eri asks, ignoring Suguru.

"Kagome is my wife, and Sota is my brother-in-law." Satoru rolls his tongue over the top of his teeth. He's getting antsy. First, she asks if he and Suguru are Kagome's friends and now she's asking if he is their brother. So, she knows of him but is downplaying his and Kagome's relationship.

He didn't come here for this.

Eri laughs. "That's so cute, but Kagome doesn't need an overprotective brother. Trust me. I have one and it's caused quite the strain in our relationship."

Satoru's eyes twitch. Is she hard of hearing? "Suguru, come on. We're wasting time." He turns right as Eri tries to latch on to him.

"That was weird," she mutters. "Well, anyway, I can show where his locker is. Kato-san's locker. There's a rumor going around that he's cursed, but I think that's silly. It was just a weird coincidence. I wish people weren't so mean," Eri sighs. "Everyone deserves a chance." She bats her eyelashes and Satoru wants to hurl.

How could Kagome just up and abandon him like that to help some guy out? Kagome is far too nice.

"Thank you, Eri," Suguru says, shooting him a look. "We're just worried about him, is all."

Eri leads them to the locker and stands there. Satoru sucks in a breath and tries not to sigh. Can she just go? How are they going to break into the locker if she's standing there? Satoru glances at Suguru, who nods.

Yeah, they're gonna have to come back tonight. This isn't working.

"Oh!" Suguru exclaims. "We're nearly late, Satoru. We need to get going."

Satoru snaps his fingers. "Right! Let me say goodbye to Kagome and then we should be good to go." He runs out of the building, leaving Suguru and Eri behind.

He can't take it anymore.

Why is that woman so clingy?

Kami, she is worse than the women in the other clans. For whatever reason, they or maybe their fathers seem to think that with enough money, his marriage with Kagome won't go through. Father should shut it down completely.

It's annoying. He doesn't want anyone else, and he will not change his mind.

"Kagome!" he yells, skidding to a stop next to her. Kagome coughs at the dust he kicked up in his haste to make it over to her.

"I'm right here. Why are you yelling?" she grumbles.

"I'm coming back tonight. We can't get any answers with that girl around."

"You mean Eri?" Kagome blows out a breath. "She just has a crush on you."

He gags. "Do you want me to walk you home?"

"If you aren't doing your mission now, shouldn't you be at school then?"

"Got it. I'll meet you at the gates when you get out." He leans forward and kisses her forehead. Kagome flushes and slaps her hands to the spot he just kissed.

"Seriously?" she shrieks.

His heart beats faster. There's a pink hue to her cheeks. Is she blushing? Satoru grabs his jacket, right over his heart. What is this feeling?

"Satoru?"

"I'm fine," he says quickly. "I'll uh... see you later today." He backs away and trips over Suguru.

"What the hell is wrong with you?" Suguru groans, pushing him off. "You've been out of it since we got here."

"I'm fine!" Satoru points to himself. "Just fine."

"You don't seem fine," Kagome comments.

"No, he doesn't. Perhaps he's the one that's been cursed."

"Shove it," Satoru says. "I'm fine. Kagome's fine. Everybody is fine."

Kagome frowns and looks past him. "Eri doesn't look fine."

What?

Satoru looks over his shoulder. Ugh. That chick is persistent. He waves at Kagome. "See you later!" He dashes away with Suguru hot on his heels. The faster he gets away from that Eri, the better. Kami, help him if she waits at the gates with Kagome.

"Satoru," Suguru calls, huffing. "Seriously, who was that?"

Satoru smirks. "My wife."

And Suguru better not forget it.

***

A/N: Had a dream that Satoru came back but he didn't come back the same. Like Shoko had to give him an order because he was so out of it. Kind of like how Meliodas gets in seven deadly sins whenever he comes back from the dead. I think it's a sign that Satoru needs to come back in How To Tame lol.

And I have a question...why am I being drafted to fight Sukuna? Gege hasn't run out of characters lol. I wouldn't even try to fight Sukuna, I'd rather have a cook off against Uruame and take their spot instead. I know my strengths and fighting is not one of them lol.

"Will InuYasha have a friendship with Suguru?" - I think so and it'll be nice to see a different dynamic between them. If anything Suguru's calmness may remind InuYasha of Miroku.

"What do the others think of InuYasha?" - At first they thought he was a cosplayer, but Ito had to hose him down one time and realized that he was in fact not a cosplayer. To anyone else, InuYasha is similar to Panda. But those closest made a binding vow and know that he's a demon.

"Will InuYasha call them mom and dad?" - He'll call Mama H mom, but Papa G is still old man.

"Is Ryu in the story?" - He might make an appearance.

"Was someone trying to get rid of Syouma?" - Nah, it was a mistake on their end. Curses are getting stronger and Jujutsu society isn't keeping up. We'll see this come up later.

"Is InuYasha from the Kamo clan?" - I didn't even think about that...but now I can see the Kamo clan and the Zenin clan having beef with the Gojo clan for taking away prized clan members.

Side note, I had to go back and make Satoru and Suguru first years here because I started on the next chapter and the timing wouldn't have worked otherwise. Hope you're ready for stalker Eri lmao.

Hope you are having an awesome week. Take care of yourself. Get out and get some sun if you can. Take your vitamins and drink your water. Next update will be One night. It might come out on Saturday, just depends on how busy I get.

[fleechin]

Here's my @portal-secret-santa prompt for @deathishauntedbyhumans, they requested a scene with cores, mainly Factventure, so I did a lil something of them being stuck in the place where you find all the corrupted cores right before the Wheatley boss fight. I tried to avoid references to fanon cores like Virgil as much as I could, by their request, though occasionally they slipped in.

Fic Text Below

It was no secret that adventures came in many forms, and in many phases. Sometimes you were running as fast as you could from a volcano or tornado, and everything was about getting away as fast as possible. Sometimes you were fighting hordes of enemies at once, having to figure out their weakness and be ready to exploit it, all in a matter of seconds. Sometimes you were sneaking into a carefully guarded enemy fortress, depending entirely on your stealth, knowing full well that any slip up would mean you were a goner. 

Other times, however paradoxical it seemed, adventure meant being stuck in one place for a long time, with no way in sight to pass it. A dragon’s dungeon, a prison camp behind enemy lines, even something mundane like camping in a strange forest, waiting for the sun to return, or in the front room of a castle, waiting to meet a powerful king you would want to ally with. Or in this case, being stuck in a container full of other cores with no way of getting out. 

The self proclaimed adventure sphere had seen worse. But worse wasn’t quite as boring. A good song would sometimes pass the time, but it wasn’t easy to pull inspiration from anywhere for lyrics.

“Nananana nAAAAAA, and then another explosion, NANANA, riding the shockwave to VICTORYYYYYY!”

Rick sighed, and looked over at his companion. “Ayo, pinkie, how long’s it been?”

The aptly named pink-eyed testing sphere sputtered a bit. “Twelve. Twelve. Twelve. Twelve. Twelve. Twelve. Twelve. Twelve. Twelve.”

“Ehhh, that’s whatcha said last time. When’s the last time you went and got yerself looked at?”

“The fact sphere is not defective. Its facts are wholly accurate and very interesting.”

Rick rolled his optic. The fact sphere, or Craig, as he sometimes liked to be called, had been a good companion for a while now. Rick could never quite remember how they had started hanging around each other, but as long as he could remember, wherever he was, “Pinkie” would follow.

That, however,  did not mean their adventures were without conflict. “Pinkie, do you even remember how we got here?”

“The Intelligence Dampening Sphere, several hours after assuming control of the facility, restarted the explosives manufacturing wing, at first accidentally while trying to silence the alert announcer protocol. Upon realizing what he had done, he then began using parts of cores, both deactivated and live, to make more bombs, so as to increase total production.”

“Exactly. Now, I happen to be lucky, cause as much as I love explodin’, I’m more valuable to ol’ blue-eye as a consultant than as a single lil’ wad o�� napalm.”

“He will most likely kill you, violently.”

Rick looked over, or at least as best he could given his position. “Ain’t that the point of an adventure? Overcomin’ the odds, fightin’ towards victory. ‘Sides, I can keep ya from bein’ turned into a bomb – why else do you think he brought you here?”

“The fact sphere is the most handsome sphere.”

Rick sighed. “Run a temperature check for me, will ya, pinkie?”

“WARNING: Sphere temperature reaching ninety- Apples. Oranges. Pears. Plums. Kumquats. Tangerines. Lemons. Limes. Avocado. Tomato. Banana. Papaya. Guava.”

“Exactly. When Doc Virgil was sayin’ you was hot as Rigel, he wasn’t exactly complimentin’ ya. Only I can use that there line –  got me a trademark on it.”

The moment he had said the word “Rigel”, a yellow-eyed core immediately sprung to action - that action being to spin its optic rapidly.

“Rigel! Rigel Rigel… blue star! Big blue star! …Goooooonna go supernova! Big bright star go boom! Wanna go to Rigel. Wanna see big boom star.”

“Sigh… yeah, that. You bein’ all overheated n whatnot makes you a perfect catalyst for a big bomb. And as much as I might enjoy that, I need ya alive so you can help me do the math for the next adventure course I build. Lucky for you, I know how to get us both outta this. ‘Member when we got Avery out of the whole mess with them turrets?”

“The adventure sphere had placed the gardening sphere, his then-romantic partner, into a custom built ‘adventure course’, which left her on the ground and under fire from turrets after a panel malfunction. Her injuries would require a full hull replacement afterwards.” 

Rick nodded, “And how’d I get ‘er out of it?”

“The adventure sphere initially attempted to negotiate with the turrets as they were firing on the gardening sphere. This attempt was unsuccessful, as the turrets could not hear over the sound of their own gunfire. After several minutes, the fact sphere found and hit the deactivation switch.”

“Exac- wait, what?” Rick tried his best to remember. Now that he thought about it, Craig was right. He had tried to negotiate, but it was the fact sphere that had actually shut the turrets down. In his defense, he had better memories of what came next, when his romantic partner had decided to end things then and there.

“Alright, fine, bad example, but point is, I’m what keeps you and Spaceball here both nine times outta ten.” Remember that time I saved you from bein’ launched into acid?

“ERROR, ERROR, ERROR: File not found.”

The space sphere, seemingly unconcerned with the argument in question, had shifted his focus to planets. “Go to Jupiter, go to Jupiter, see all the moons! Bababa bap babap baba. Become the smallest moon of Jupiter.”

The adventure sphere rolled his eye. “Ayo Spaceball. Say one useful thing. One. I dare you. I will give you a hundred dollars if you say one thing remotely applicable to anything at all.” 

Before he could respond with facts about neutron stars, however, Rick heard footsteps and what sounded like the one voice every core could hear from everywhere in the facility. Only this time, it was muffled, coming from what sounded like a small speaker.

“Corrupted cores, we’re in luck!” The footsteps grew louder, showing something Rick could never have imagined was still around. A human. The voice continued. “You find a way to stun him, I’ll send you a core, and then you attach it to him. If we do it a few times, he might become corrupt enough for another core transfer.”

The human nodded, made a right turn, and disappeared. Rick turned his focus back to his other companion. “Check it out pinkie, we got us another adventure! Good thing I’m here to save the day.”

The fact sphere was unfazed. “The adventure sphere is a blowhard and a coward.”

Rick was taken aback. “I… c’mon pinkie, you n’ me both know that ain’t true.”

“The adventure sphere, despite his insistence that he has no fears, cannot admit to his friends or partners that he depends on them or cares for them in any way. This traps him into a perpetual cycle of the cores he cares about abandoning him, which he justifies by insisting that they lack his adventuresome spirit.”

“C’mon pinkie, what are you even talki-”

“Examples include the gardening sphere, the culinary sphere, the public relations sphere, and the fact sphere.”

“I… I mean I don’t…” Rick was shocked more than anything to hear his companion say that. Not only because it was the same thing several of his exes always said to him, but also because it was perhaps the first time he had ever thought, or been made to think, about Craig as someone he cared about. 

But now that he was forced to face it… he did care about Craig. Every now and then, when Craig was occupied, either from being repaired or working on the little documentary series he had been making, Rick was stuck on his own. If that had come across to Craig, it had been despite his personality, not because of it.

And as fun as it was to be on his own against every threat the world could throw at him, it wasn’t quite as fun if he couldn’t talk about what he enjoyed with someone who had been there as well. Craig was not really a singer, so they had never done a duet of any adventure songs, but he had been there to listen to them longer than anyone else. He’d even critiqued them from time to time.

It had taken him forever, but now he had to admit it.

“I… I care a lot about ya, pinkie. You’re like, my best friend and stuff. And… I dunno, I like havin’ ya by my side when I’m on an adventure.”

The fact sphere sputtered a bit. “To make a photocopier, simply photocopy a mirror.”

In the past, Rick had ignored his companion’s little tidbits whenever they were unsolicited. But for the first time, it felt good to hear them. 

“We uh… we make a good duo, the two of us. I got me the adventuresome spirit, and you got yourself the brains.”

“It is incorrectly noted that deer are usually hunted for their antlers or their meat. They are instead hunted for their gearboxes, which can also be used to power motorcycles.”

Rick chuckled. Nervously, he looked away from Craig, hoping to find the right way to phrase his next question. “Shoot, whaddaya say… when we get us outta here, maybe we should like… hit the encore club again. Just the two of us this time. Whatcha… whatcha say?”

“Whoever wins this battle is clearly superior, and will earn the allegiance of the Fact Sphere.”

Rick’s handles moved, and his CPU experienced an extra burst of energy. “Ha, I’ll take that as a yes!”

The Space core, meanwhile, had continued his ramblings. “Ba ba ba babababa ba, wanna go to Saturn, go see Saturn. Saturn’s got rings. Big rings. Put a ring on it.” 

Rick chuckled. “Heh, maybe we oughta put a ring on it, huh pinkie?”

“Cores do not have fingers.”

20 Questions for fic writers

I got tagged by @thetragicallynerdy, thank youuu <3

1. How many works do you have on AO3?

57 since 2018!

2. What’s your total AO3 word count?

494,281, the vast majority of which is from the last year and a half.

3. What fandoms do you write for?

Currently just Our Flag Means Death, but previously Schitt’s Creek.

4. What are your top 5 fics by kudos?

to wild homes we return to (Schitt's Creek) (5,943 words)

an atypical emotional response to common sounds (Our Flag Means Death (TV)) (6,612 words)

Made With Love (Schitt's Creek) (8,942 words)

What happened in Vegas? (Schitt's Creek) (1,000 words)

actually, the markup is very good (Schitt's Creek) (1,166 words)

I started writing Schitt’s Creek fic when the fandom was relatively small, so I suspect that accounts for the prominence here. Funny enough, the one OFMD fic in this list is the most recent thing I posted. The stats on that thing blow my mind a little (not that ever do, like, big name fan writer numbers).

5. Do you respond to comments? Why or why not?

I reply to every one if I can. Sometimes when people binge-read a multi-chapter fic and leave comments on several chapters I find it hard to come up with something to say in reply to all but the last (or specific things mentioned in the comment), but I love when that happens!

6. What is the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?

Gotta be in a time trap, an efficient little 5+1 not-exactly-a-fix-it OFMD post-S1 timeloop fic where Stede keeps waking up with Chauncey’s pistol in his face.

7. What’s the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?

Skipping the Schitt’s Creek fics, because those are largely happy fluff to begin with… Probably the most uncomplicatedly upbeat happy endings are found in Disruptors and We’re Gonna Live In The Trees.

8. Do you get hate on fics?

No one has ever said anything unkind to me on AO3.

9. Do you write smut? If so, what kind?

Oh, god, I’m fucking TRYING, and it is a TRIAL. It is NOT my default, but it’s personal shit I wanna work on, so. It’s generally not mlm, though ‘an atypical emotional response to common sounds’ is the one exception. Currently pushing myself to improve throughout the t4t tealoranges climate apocalypse fic the way things are going (with deep gratitude to tragic for their support and advice).

10. Do you write crossovers? What’s the craziest one you’ve written?

Heh, my first attempt at writing smut was a Schitt’s Creek/The Good Place crossover, Wine Tasting! Eleanor helps Stevie explore her bisexuality as a kind of soul-saving thing (look, I don’t know). I’ve written a few other things that are heavily inspired by other things, or rewrite/twist something into the current obsession (OFMD, always OFMD), but no full-on crossovers.

11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?

Not to my knowledge. That’d be weird.

12. Have you ever had a fic translated?

Nah, though a few have been recorded as podfics. ♥️

13. Have you ever co-written a fic before?

Yes! Ask Me Anything: A TealOranges SMAU was totally co-authored with @thetragicallynerdy, of course. I also like to say that Kitchen Mistakes & How To Avoid Them was in many ways a collaboration with my friend rose, who was muuuuch more than a beta reader, even if they won’t claim it as such. And oh no I’ve dropped the ball on this (it takes effort) but several pals in one of my group chats were co-writing a silly thing together, Public Relations: An OFMD Celebrity SMAU. I really enjoy collaborating on creative projects and would do it again! Though, uh, probably no more SMAUs. 😂

14. What’s your all time favorite ship?

tbh ships in and of themselves are not my main approach to enjoying things, though I realize that’s the structure a lot of fanworks take (including my own). I really do love writing Jim/Oluwande and Ed/Stede. I know, boring ol’ canon ships, but whatever. Those guys can fit all kinds of wild AUs and personal shit!

15. What’s a WIP you want to finish but doubt you ever will?

Ehhh, honestly, if I abandon a WIP, it’s probably dead. I have at least one thing that might look abandoned because I haven’t updated it since August but I swear it isn’t. Probably. Ennhhh.

16. What are your writing strengths?

I think I’m good at picturing/researching the setting enough to shade in the details and make it feel real for the story. Dialogue, because I hear it in my head and rewind and play it back and write it down. Internal monologue/complicated feelings.

17. What are your writing weaknesses?

Oh god, smut. Smut is SO hard. Describing bodies/clothes and probably to a large extent facial expressions, too. Em dashes. Tagging.

18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language in fic?

I’ve really only done tiny bits of Spanish dialogue in fic. I took Spanish in school ages ago, but have never ever ever been fluent, so it’s pretty minimal and uses reference sites/translation tools to do my best that the phrases make sense in context, etc. If it were more than that, I’d want to confer with someone who’s a native speaker or has a lot of direct cultural experience, but generally I don’t think I’m ambitious enough to try to write outside my own experience in that particular way.

19. First fandom you wrote for?

Schitt’s Creek, unless you count what might be considered songfic back when I was obsessed with Smashing Pumpkins and Radiohead in high school in the late ‘90s.

20. Favorite fic you’ve written?

Hmm, an impossible question, really. Maybe all that i need is you and the sea (an accidental time travel amnesiac love story told in five parts), because it was perhaps my first experience with something that bananas taking over my head and just flowing out of my brain over the course of several days, and it touches on all kinds of themes and issues and jokes I include in other fics. I learned a lot working on it, too. I just think it’s neat.

Tagging some writers I <3 here who might've already been tagged (i will never catch up with tumblr scroll) or simply don't wanna, so feel free to take this as a friendly wave hello if anything: @emi--rose @epersonae @ghostalservice @bktrashcat @sassygwaine [am i currently re-reading ALTWSS? yes] @petrichorca or really anyone <3

[brxkxnhxxrtsclxb]

OKAY !!!!

i saw the boruto leaks this morning and i won’t lie, they actually had me hyped for the time skip. i know weird cuz this manga is ROUGH and i have a love-hate relationship with it because i love naruto and boruto doesn’t really feel like it lives up to it’s legacy

that said, i wanna share my opinions on the designs✨✨

i won’t be posting any images in case others don’t wanna be spoiled and because the official release has not happened

i’m gonna start with the main character

(under the cut in case it gets long)

boruto: overall i think he looks boring. i said it was too simple for being the main character, but that’s not necessarily the issue. what i mean by it is the colors make it plain and simple. he’s the main character and those colors unfortunately do not make him standout. also, i personally think his face is too cluttered. he has the headband on, two whiskers on each side of his face and then the scar. it’s a bit much…

shikadai: ehhh he’s alright i guess. not bad, but nothing impressive

inojin: OH MY GOSH WHAT DID THEY DO TO HIS HAIR ??!! he looks even more like sai !!!! which is fine cuz he’s his father but why would you cut his hair ???!!!! the yamanaka clan are all about the ponytails. their blond tied back hair is what they’re known for and… they just chopped it off…

chocho: okay SHE’s CUTE !! i like her design. out of all the girls, her’s appears to be more ninja-like

himawari: i think she looks adorable ??!! idk she’s just cute to me !! i do dislike how uneven her hair is but ehhh i suppose that’s just uzumakis (karin had the choppy hair). her outfit is okay with me. also looks fine since it provides mobility since they’re ninja. i do think the sunflower design is a bit much… but nothing that can’t be overlooked. her choker… why does she have one ?? feels kind of unnecessary xD overall she’s adorable. i think the long hair suits her and makes her look like a girl since her short hair made her look more like a gremlin than a human child xD

eida & daemon: they’re boring. nothing’s changed NEXT

code: i LOVE code, but his design is nothing we haven’t seen. he wore it in the chapter prior to the hiatus. i will say i’ve always adored the gothic look he has going for him♡

mitsuki: HE’s BEAUTIFUL !!!! i love how he looks but i will say his clothes… in black and white it kinda makes him look like a huge blob >.< but overall he’s pretty pretty !! lowkey wish he’d gotten some eyeliner to make his eyes look more like orochimaru’s and wear his style of earrings as well, but oh well. we can’t have it all :,))

kawaki: OMGGG I LOVE HIM !!!!! his design idk why but i adore it !! the baggy pants and huge jacket just reeks of his fashion sense xD it suits him perfectly :3 i especially love his longer hair. i think he has one of the better designs

sumire: i think she looks CUTE !! i will say her design is so plain and looks basic but overall i think it’s one of the more decent ones regarding the girls. a little short, but that’s ikemoto ://

sarada: sigh… i saved her for last because i am NOT A FAN of her design ._. it just doesn’t look right imo. she looks like she changed in the dark or threw on the first thing she saw for a quick grocery store run. she has some bodysuit as if she were training and then just threw on the jacket and most random shoes to go out. her shoes literally look like 1980s leg warmers… like why ?? not to mention the collar is unnecessary and if her jacket has the uchiha crest on the back, why does she have earrings of the uchiha crest?? it makes her look tacky :// i do like that her hair was kept short and it sports the uchiha spikes ^_^

overall i think the designs are fine… i like them, but at the same time i don’t. this is a manga about ninjas. these designs feel like the narutoverse got thrown in a modern AU. let’s not forget the reason naruto is the way it is, is cuz it was inspired by traditional japanese culture. i understand in boruto they’re getting more modern with the tech, but that doesn’t mean throw away the traditional aspects naruto had. if anything, the clothing made it feel more authentic and true to it being inspired by traditional japanese culture. boruto feels more like a shonen manga trying to be an outdated fashion magazine at the same time. i understand ikemoto is inspired by jojo, but that’s jojo. the fashion is a whole different kind compared to the naruto one. if they want us to see this as naruto’s sequel, these designs don’t help it at all

⠀

Ned: I want to say sorry for what I said, or implied, about woohoo between men. I shouldn't have just assumed, or brought it up for that matter.

⠀

Beren: It's been months, we can just leave it behind us. There are things I shouldn't have said either, such as the things about creating sentient beings.

⠀

Beren: When I got home that day I realised that eating meat goes against my ethical views.

⠀

Beren: So I'm never eating meat again.

⠀

Ned: At least not that kind of meat.

Beren: Oh my Watcher, Ned!

Ned: Sorry, just a bit of a payback.

⠀

Beren: I guess I deserved that.

⠀

Ned: I just want to make sure, are you okay with talking about woohoo?

⠀

Beren: Meh, I don't have much experience in that department, but it's a normal thing, it happens to most people at some point. I'm not a fan of hearing details though.

⠀

Ned: "Don't have much experience"?

⠀

Ned: Do you have any experience?

Beren: No comment.

⠀

Ned: I'm confused.

⠀

Beren: Please continue to be.

⠀

Rory: So now you've seen a few bots, and you've seen cars that move. Anything else we need to do here?

⠀

Ahriman: Yes, there's something I'd like to check in Gibbs Hill, preferably after sunset.

Rory: No problem.

⠀

Lou: Let me just go ask those two for directions.

⠀

Ahriman: Ugh… Why is he asking some randos for directions when he could've just asked me? Didn't he listen when I was talking about the positioning of the sun and all that? Not to mention, I already know Britechester like the back of my hand.

⠀

Rory: He probably just wanted an excuse to flirt with them. He's also not too smart in his were form.

Ahriman: "Not too smart" is a very kind way to put it.

(Author's note: Due to the etymology of the word "werewolf", I'll use "were form" and "wolf form" to describe the two forms.)

⠀

Lou: Hi there! You two cuties don't happen to know which way Gibbs Hill is?

⠀

Lou: Also, blondie, can I have your number?

Ned: No, sorry.

⠀

Lou: How about you then?

⠀

Beren: Ehhh… Gibbs Hill is that way.

⠀

Ned: Nice save. You're blushing a lot though.

Beren: That was so awkward.

⠀

Ahriman: You probably dodged a bullet with the blond one. I know I'm generalising now, but he looked like the type of person who'd be really boring in bed.

⠀

Lou: But what about the other one?

⠀

Ahriman: Honey, please, don't even think about it, he's so out of your league.

⠀

Lou: But he was blushing a lot. That's a good sign.

Ahriman: He blushed because it was embarrassing. You were smooth as sandpaper.

⠀

Lou: Is he out of your league too?

Ahriman: Maybe if he had had a goatee.

[savethevamps]

Topmews communication will get them far. If we compare relationships theirs is the one that is most realistic and has more long term potential. It is amusing to see people cite them as the most toxic couple as well as the most boring couple because if they are boring then what are they doing that is toxic? Sorry to say but I don’t think any of these relationships are the definition of healthy by most standards so everyone pretending one is worse is idiotic. We can say who is toxic by our personal standards but we should not pretend like one is worse just because we like another.

Okay I agree on some points but some I disagree lol hold on, here’s another long answer no one asked for…

I agree that Topmew’s communication will get them very far and that was the point that Top was trying to make, as well as the point I talked about with forgiveness. They have the most long term potential because they are both looking for the same thing, are able to communicate, don’t sugar coat things, and can actually admit to their wrongs and apologize without making excuses. I don’t know if I said this here or not but they definitely have the vibes of a long term couple who are married and give out relationship advice to the younger queer kids (like Mew’s moms does for him)

Now on them being toxic ehhh I say let’s not pay that any mind because that is something that’s happening in the multiverse (and I told you guys we cannot pay attention to that because it will upset the space time continuum!) On them being boring? That is the people who think that’s own fault anonie, they had all these big theories about those two and let themselves down because they wanted some weird mastermind, villain shit to go down with them. They’re not boring by a long shot, they are painfully realistic and maybe that’s why people think that? The people who watch this show want “messy” (as in they want to see their faves hump eachother every other second while they have lukewarm drama happen in-between) so Topmew didn’t give them what they wanted since their problems were based in reality, and they actually showed growth. I truly believe people wanted Mew to turn into a cartoon villain who dunks Top into a vat of acid by the end of the series, they didn’t want growth or reflection; they just wanted revenge

Okay on your last point, mmm I think we actually can say some are worse than others from an objective standpoint. Like getting with your stalker? Yes, that is setting up a toxic relationship. Staying with the guy who verbally abuses you? Toxic relationship 101. Constantly trying to exact revenge on your boyfriend? Toxic as hell. So they all had their toxic points but I want people to focus on how it was handled in the end, and how we can predict they’ll move forward. Topmew acknowledge their mistakes and apologize while admitting that certain things will take longer to work through than others, at the end they decide to work and move forward because they love eachother. Nickboston highlight the fact that their relationship will be short lived and that they may not last in the long run, but that they will try to enjoy it while it lasts with no expectations and rules binding them. Sandray continue the cycle they’ve been in since day one where they lie and deflect without any real communication besides the same song and dance they’ve always done. All I’m saying is this, all these relationships got rocky but the way it’s handled is what matters in the end that’s all.

Anyway anonie, all relationships benefit greatly from communication and we can see that so yeah! Thanks for the ask <3

[lumilasi]

Hiiii I was reading FS series and so far AM LOVING IT!! (That ending doe whyyy imma cri (;—;) and just, wanted to ask how u even came up with it? Do u have favorite parts?? (Or least fave, can't imagine that personally thou (〃´∀｀)) asdgfsssd sorry if this is random or weird I just really wanted to let u know I liked it a lot! Might've skipped sleep couple times ahahaha....(^—^);

Thank U for writing! Hope u have a great day!!!!!

Hi there, sorry for late reply! (got this last night basically lol) and don't worry! It's random but in a good way lmao

(Also, don't worry things get better if you continue reading the series, trust me C; But up to you of course! I know its a long ass story when you put all 3 fics together lmao)

Also pls don't skip sleep, sleep is good! Sleep is important haha

I can't recall exactly where the idea came from, I think I was just toying with the concept of "What if AFO WASN'T absolute horse shit of a parent & Somehow friends with Toshinori WITHOUT making All Might evil?" or something along those lines.

Hmmm....I do very much like that one scene, where Hisashi and Toshinori chat in a car, or more like Toshinori shares his woes with his friend, and Hisashi says something very simple, but it is very profound in the context of the story/their relationship. (I drew this scene and wrote a whole ass essay about why I loved the scene so much for some reason lmao).

Hisashi Kicking Toshinori outta hero form was also pretty fun, namely because you as a reader KNOW who Hisashi is (and Toshinori doesn't, yet), making the whole thing kind of ironic.

Also, Tenko pretending to be a starfish. It was just one of those cute kids train of thoughts moments I really liked writing. (Since I've drawn all these scenes in question, I'll plop the artworks here so this is not just a wall of text answer lol);

As for least fave, it is actually pretty typical (at least in my case lol) that there's always something I feel like I could've written better. Don't get me wrong I very much still love FS, but even my favorite story has some things that in hindsight...if I wrote the fic now, I'd do differently. Call it learning what works/what doesn't/what could work better and all haha!

These things are:

How Hisashi's brother died. I now feel like how it went down doesn't...quite fit with the kind of character Hisashi became. It was meant to be tragic, kind of accidental, but, ehhh...maybe it doesn't feel enough like an accident? Admittedly this detail is something I could easily go and change as it's just couple of lines of dialogue and a scene, but finding those bits would probably take ages. (Will I do this small but kind of significant change? Who knows, maybe someday lol, I did rewrite an entirety of Reanimate at one point, or well one half of it back in 2020)

The whole Todoroki family sub-plot. Now, the way it was written came from the current understanding of Endeavor's character at that time (pre Touya flashbacks) which, kind of...ironically ended up making me write him worse than he actually turned out to be in canon, (Enji's still a terrible, abusive father and a person ofc, don't get me wrong, but he's def. violent sooner in my fic, than he was in canon) and now, I'd probably approach that plotline differently with the new info I have.

Maybe I wouldn't make a full on redemption arc for Enji as, well, I don't really care about his character much outside the impact he's had on his family, but def. wouldn't have written him as violent as he came off, given the timing of things.

Maybe The Midoriyas could've prevented things from going to that point it ends up in canon, and get Touya to see he has more value than just living up to his dad's amibitions, and MAYBE Enji starting to see his son as an individual, rather than his extension.

Or something. IDK.

Like said, Enji's one of the more boring characters in bnha to me, which makes writing him/focusing on him kind of difficult, hence IDK if I'd be able to pull off such an idea easily. I feel like he has very little interesting substance (to me, this is subjective OFC) outside the whole "bad dad" plot, and as a cherry on top, his design just... manages to combine a lot of things I tend to find kind of unappealing to look at in a character lmao. It's not even rescued by his writing, like what happens with All Might for example.

In fact, if I can get away with not showing Enji on-screen in a story (Without just killing him off/putting him in jail, those aren't my favorite solutions to issues like this, and have only used the former, once), while still showcasing the negative effect he's had on Dabi (and/or Shoto) I will do it. Quite obviously, I did not feel like it'd work for FS, not having him be on-screen at all.

....Well this is a long answer, this last part got especially rambly, but kind of fitting given how long my stories tend to be too haha! Hope it satisfied your curiosity :D

Against my better judgement, I played the new Pokémon game! ~ My Initial Thoughts

I wasn't feeling Pokémon Scarlet & Violet before release. The games just looked off to me. The art style, the gameplay, the characters, the world design, all of it really. Now that I some hands on time with it well... ehhh, I kinda feel the same way haha. I'm typically a pretty easy going dude that can have fun in about any game I play, but I dunno, this game just doesn't do much for me. It doesn't feel like a true Pokémon game. I've been playing since Gen 1 and yeah sure Sword & Shield wasn't perfect, but I still had an enjoyable time with them. Here's the key points I noticed in my time with the game.

Character Customization:

Character customization is a HUGE driving factor for me in video games. Pokémon SwSh had amazing trainer customization aside from the gym battle uniforms. Now imagine being forced to wear the gym uniform through the entire game! That's Scarlet and Violet. In SwSh I could dress my character up in so many cool outfits and that was probably my favorite aspect of that game. In Scarlet & Violet, you can only change accessories and shoes, no changing your outfit... you're stuck with that ugly school uniform the ENTIRE game! All you get is 4 seasonal styles of the same school crap. I just want my leather biker jacket and ripped jeans, darn it!

Character Designs & Art Style:

Pokémon games always had hit or miss characters for me. Typically there's more characters that I like than dislike in a game, but not really the case for Scarlet & Violet's characters. Nemona's pretty cool though, I do like her, but lotta of them feel boring and fall kinda flat for me. And to be completely honest some of them give me nightmares...

Then there's the actual art style. I don't really think Pokémon needed alpha transparency hairstyles. The solid meshed style fits better in my opinion. Feels like they tried adding some realism to the graphics with alpha hairs and more detailed skins & eye textures, but its still kinda toony looking, so its like this off putting in between style.

The World:

From what I saw, the world didn't really feel very believable or all too well designed. Just tons of huge mountains and steep cliffs. Not necessarily the prettiest scenery in a 2022 video game. None of the towns or anything really stuck out to me neither. Again, the whole thing feels kinda bland.

The Pokémon:

Not much to say on the Pokémon as every generation has had some weird designs after all. Heck even 1st Gen had some weird Pokémon that I still question today. For the most part, I did like majority of the new ones. Wish the cat starter didn't stand on TWO LEGS though! Lets please try to keep them animalistic and less humanoid GameFreak. Oh, also I played Scarlet. I wanted to play Violet with the Tron bike Pokémon, but instead I had the Flintstones one... still don't understand why does it have wheels if it just runs with it's legs instead?

Terastallization?/ The Gimmick:

Every Pokémon game since 6th gen has to have a gimmick these days. 6th Gen had Mega Evolutions, 7th Gen had Z-Moves, 8th Gen had Dynamax/ Gigantamax, and now 9th Gen's got Terastallizing? Basically your Pokémon goes into a crystalized form... boring! My personal favorite is still Mega Evolution. Having your Pokémon transform into a powerful 4th evolution temporarily was awesome. It was basically Pokémon's version of Super Saiyan 4 and I loved it.

Rushed development?!

The game was rushed and the internet's been tearing it to shreds because of that. Bugs, glitches, a complete mess. Not much I can add to that. I don't put all the blame GameFreak for that, since I'm sure there's factors out of their control for pushing the game out within the given deadlines, but seriously I feel like Pokémon games are coming out too frequently. As Miyamoto once said, "A delayed game is eventually a good game, but a bad game is bad forever."

The Good/ Open World & Multiplayer:

Lotta negatives, but hey, some positive things too! The open world, I loved it. I love being able to immediately pick where I want to go right after I start my journey. Which Gym do I challenge first or if I even want to do Gym battles or pursue a different goal entirely like hunt down the Titans or wipe out Team Star. Now that I like! Also the Multiplayer! While I didn't get to check it out myself, I know how it works. Being able to form a group with friends and explore the world together. That's a huge step in the right direction and how I wished it was in Sword & Shield.

Final Thoughts

All-in-all, I wanted to give the game a chance and I'm glad I did, but it just doesn't hook me personally. I'm not trying to sound negative with the game, but I do feel like Pokémon is losing itself as a series. A trend I've been noticing more and more with each passing year. Not just Pokémon in specific, but tons of series that go on too long begin to weaken and water down with time. Ideas run stale, monotonous, and begin to lose their luster. Too many IPs are being milked these days until there's nothing left. That's why there's been so many remasters, remakes, and even reboots happening now. They need more spacing/ time between releases.

TL;DR Game's a bit of a mess, but knowing that it's still worth trying for yourself. Maybe you will enjoy it. I have friends who are and I'm glad they're having fun. For me though, I'll be passing on this one.

Pokemon Journeys Episode 135 Review

Pokemon Journeys Episode 135. Let’s review:

Here we are, second-to-last episode of Pokemon Journeys. How did things go?

Ehhh...

Let’s break down this episode from order of events.

First off, I’m not gonna beat around the bush here, but Ash’s reunion back at Pallet Town sucked. From reused animation from Episode 114 for Ash’s Pokemon to the general lack on fanfare, Ash really should’ve been giving much more respect upon arriving back home. Remember when the entire town gave Ash a whole party after winning Top 16 in the Kanto League? Not even Oak or Delia really give that much for Ash. Oak gives a rather basic poem and Delia, a lunch. And geez, guess Ash and Tracey really do secretly hate each other if Tracey’s gonna bounce right before Ash returns and Ash doesn’t even ask for him. And really, you’re not gonna have Ash’s Journeys team meet up with Ash’s old mons? Way to show respect to the guys who helped you train to actually be tough enough to stand against the Master 8 opponents, you pricks. Ash is a prick, too. Just gonna give a quick “hi” and “bye” to his old mons. So well fellow anipoke fans, give Ash’s old mons a good long look because we’re probably not gonna see them again for the next decade or two.

And now for Goh’s reunion with his mons at the Cerise Lab also sucked. One, apparently Goh brought Scizor, Flygon, and Golurk with him to his final trial?  Could’ve been super helpful if you actually used them, my dude. Just saying. Two, yeah, this whole moment just feels too flat. Regardless of what I said with Ash’s Pokemon reunion, at least there’s some weight to it because these are mons we’ve seen Ash used and bond with over the years. Here, we BARELY know Goh’s Pokemon, many of which are just complete blank slates, so this whole moment just feels too hollow to actually care for. And thirdly, don’t think I missed Mimey’s miscolored face in the scene prior to this one. How do you fuck something like that so badly? It looks like he got a really bad tan!

While it’s nice to see Ash, Goh, and Chloe have a few moments together for the second-to-last episode, many of its parts either feel overly dragged out, completely pointless, or both. Like we get this long flashback sequence of Goh playing with this random wild Abra and learning about it as they spend more time together, but what’s the point? Many said it’s to show Goh’s lonely childhood or his talent of understanding dex-levels knowledge of Pokemon, things we’ve already known of Goh since the very beginning. The Spearow chase was a nice callback to Anipoke’s first ever episode, but then there was this Poliwag which could’ve been a REALLY good callback usage for Ash’s own time in Pokemon School when he met Serena, but no, can’t expect something like that as well.

Chloe’s parts also felt like a waste. She only barely recaps her own experience with Eevee... and doesn’t even acknowledge Yamper at all.

And then Goh throws a fit because he made a choice to go on a journey without Goh’s consent. This was supposed to be played for like a big, dramatic moment, but then the two just pass things off real easily next time they see each other through another “haha funny argument”. And of course, gotta end the episode with Ash and Goh and just that. Yeah, fuck Chloe, just Ash and Goh the whole way through because lol. SO looking forward to the two FINALLY splitting apart next episode...

Look, having Lugia come back is a nice callback to Journeys’ second episode, but you can never even come close to convince Goh, and let alone Cinderace and Inteleon, should be seen fighting in a similar level of skill to Ash after he had just defeated THREE FUCKING CHAMPIONS consecutively. And why was Goh flabbergasted at the thought of battling Lugia? He’s battled like 5 Legendaries as of now.

Anyways, gonna give this episode a 2/10. For Journeys’ second-to-last episode, what a boring drag.

[piduai]

Your summary of those chapters was unironically better than what we actually got. Smh where did nodas sense of humour go during their arc for real? I can’t recall a single thing that didn’t feel dreary at the end. Remember when Koito got to be funny? Even noda said he liked him the most like that so i have to assume he got bored too when his character got Serious. Should’ve let Koito join the circus fr…Tsukishimas arc would end the same either way since he literally just faints

that's the thing about koito, like the result was logical and foreseeable, it's the way we got there...... 😭 have you seen this post floating around lately? koito's story arc and why it sucks follows a similar logic, there's a complex formula and there's an answer to it but it just doesn't make sense when there's no elaboration! even if the answer is correct.

like story arcs are linear (yes even with detours or returns), start in point A go through points B, C and forth, end in point Z, even if it's a roundabout and Z=A. not all characters will get through ALL stops obviously (no time for for that) but a character MUST go from A to Z (regardless of how many stops) in order to make sense and be compelling. the worst is when they get stuck in like P and never move past that, like in tsukishima's case. koito reached his logical conclusion AND there were deliberate seeds of his journey planted along rather consistently, this is precisely why his ending makes sense and was anticipated, but noda really betrayed his own consistency and organic storytelling and went ahead and skipped a few crucial steps in order for the needlework on koito's canvas to be tidy. it just feels like he gave up at the very end and was like ehhh this will do, the way you bullshit the end of an essay you're tired of

50 Q'S !!

    @kingdom-of-vanity: ❛❛4,5,6,10,15,22,37,47❜❜

                                   ✧･ﾟ  𝐀𝐍𝐒𝐖𝐄𝐑𝐄𝐃.

★  ⸻   4.) which television series do you use as a form of escapism?

... answered here.

★  ⸻   5.) share a secret about yourself?

Ehhh I don't think a public space like the internet is suitable to share secrets xD

★  ⸻   6.) if you could choose any place in the world to visit, where would it be? why?

I think that would always be my hometown bc I don't live there anymore and all of my family's there. It's so boring where I moved to and everytime after I go back after the christmas holidays and summer break, it's painfully obvious. There are so many memories and there's so much nostalgia that it hurts and I wouldn't want to be somewhere else in the world.

★  ⸻   10.) what’s one book you’d suggest every person should read?

... answered here.

★  ⸻   15.) name one musical album that greatly impacted your life? why?

Probably And Somebody Said That He Should Go by Union Youth. It was responsible for me digging deeper into Grunge when I was a teenager and lead to me starting the actual fanpage on Facebook that was still active in 2021 and gained around 650 Followers.

I got to talk to Nosse K.'s nephew through that and also met another really cool guy who provided me with the rest of the albums and also SSTHSG bc it wasn't available to buy anywhere anymore, so he uploaded every song and sent it to me. We bonded over that and also his own band projects and so he began to run the (granted, kinda lazy) Facebook Account with me.

But I left Facebook around 2015 for good and left it to him to carry on. And he did for several more years. Also, it turned out that my fiction prof is friends with Union Youth and Sonic Youth, so that got tied up really nicely almost 10 years later, I'd say xD

So yeah, that album kinda kickstarted my whole love for Grunge and Neo-Grunge. But it's shortly followed by Pagoda and their self-titled only album.

★  ⸻   22.) what was your first cell phone?

It was a very clunky Siemens model similar to this one, but it had a really nice case in red with some Picasso art on it.

★  ⸻   37.) do you have any strange habits?

I'd have to think about that, to be honest. Ususally the things you do don't appear strange to you, no matter how much self-awareness you have if it feels normal. Maybe that I don't stirr my milk after pouring Nesquik Cocoa powder into it and rather snack it from the surface with a spoon?

★  ⸻   47.) least favorite music genre? why?

Easy. German Folk Music. Every goddamn song sounds the same, it sounds off-key, it's sappy and it ranges from Old People Music to really embarrassing party music that only evolve around getting wasted and smashing women. All while the lyrics exceed the expectations of the human race to a level of fabulous eloquence that the universe has never known before. Gods would cry. Because they'd wanted everyone to stop it.

[euphoricimagination]

Summary: Your father got a huge opportunity at his job, having the chance to move from your country to Hyōgo, Japan. You decided to upload blogs on YouTube to remember everything that will happen, to keep the memories; ironic since your new school banner, Inarizaki, it’s the complete opposite. You were scared, but a set of twins plus their friend made your life easier

1st Year: Inarizaki High [Suna x reader]; slice of life

[Part 1] [Part 2] [Part 3] [Part 4]

Warning: creepy dude, cursing, 8k words

The day finally arrived. Right now, you are eating breakfast, eyes fidgeting a little out of nervousness. It sucks being the new kid in any school, but being the new kid and a foreigner? That´s a lot for everyone.

The minutes pass quickly, and before you know it, you find yourself entering your new classroom with the principal.

“Good morning, everyone. Hope you guys are excited to enter this new year. I’m going to make this quick to not interrupt. This year you guys are going to have a foreign classmate. She started to learn Japanese just a few months ago, so be understanding in case she doesn’t know what you guys are saying or if she forgets some words. Yn, why don’t you say something?”

“ehh… hi everyone, my name is Yl Yn. You can just call me by my name if you have problems with my last name. Please take good care of me”

When you look up after bowing your eyes immediately go to a boy with yellowish hair, which was whispering to another one with greyish hair. They were the only ones in the class who had dyed hair, so it was easy to spot them. He looks back at you and gives you a smile, which you return with a little nod.

“Welcome Yn, it’ll be a pleasure to have you in the class. Go to the third sit next to the window, behind Suna. Suna please raise your hand so she knows who you are” says the teacher to you, making sure to talk slowly so you understand.

Looking in the direction of Suna, you were met with a serious face. It wasn’t intimidating, just a stoic expression. Walking up to him, you gave him a small smile and a little hi, before sitting down, taking your things out when the class started.

The bell rang ending the class with it. You stayed in your sit taking your phone out to film a little about the classroom. Right before hitting the stop button, the yellow and gray hair dudes came up to your sit, look at the phone and do a little pose, smiling in the process. You look at them with a clear confusion in your face.

“Weren’t ya taking a picture of us?” The grey one asks you

“We know that we´re handsome and all, but ya don’t even know our names and already have a little crush on us, huh?” the blonde one adds, smiling cheekily

“Ehhh… n-not really… I was just…ehh...video?” you say in a mix of Japanese and English. At that Suna turns around and look at the twins.

“Don’t get too cocky with the new girl, she probably was just taking a video for her friends at her country or something like that, right?” says while looking at you with his bored expression, making you nod “besides… who in their right mind will have a crush on you?”

The twins put on an extremely dramatic expression and started to fire back at Suna, who looks like he doesn’t care at all. They were talking so fast that at some point you didn’t understand a single word that came out of their mouths, but the scene looked so hilarious that you couldn’t help to laugh a little. The twins stop screaming at Suna and look back at you.

“Oh.my.god… that just sounded so cute, right Samu?”

“Yes Tsumu, it was adorable”

If you were confused before, then you didn’t know what to feel now. Why were they calling you cute? You just laugh, how is that cute? Suna noticed the confusion in your face, making him chuckle.

“Anyways, I´m Miya Atsumu, he is Miya Osamu, we´re twins. Yer name was…Yn, right?”

“Ehh yeah”

“Ohh yeah, foreigner names are soo cool sounding, ya should be proud!” says Tsumu, although by the end of the sentence he said a word that you couldn’t understand, was it in an accent?

“Eh? What?” you asked confused.

“Miya, you idiot, they told us that she was just learning Japanese don’t use your accent out of nowhere and expect her to understand” Suna says in an annoyed tone while Osamu hits his twin in the back of the head “Sorry, he´s kind of dumb sometimes”

“It´s ok, I need to study more anyway” you say to him smiling “God why is Japanese so hard?” you muttered to yourself in English.

“Wow yer English is soo good, ya better tutor us, we could use some help!” exclaims Atsumu

Before you could answer the teacher came in and send everyone to their sits. Looking at your phone you realize that it was still recording, the twins talking to you made you forget that you were filming; it'll definitely be fun to look it back.

“Let´s talk more at lunch!” Osamu whispers before going back to his sit.

“Sure…” you whisper back, basically to yourself since they already went back to their sits

“Count me in, I guess” says Suna while turning, with a softer look in his eyes. Taking the notebook out you think about what just happened, how somehow you ended up having people to eat lunch with.

++

The bell rings one more time, this time at 12.00 indicating lunch time. You feel an arm on your shoulders when you were stepping out of the classroom, making you jump a little before finding Atsumu looking down at you with a smile.

“Really dude? Ya can’t just do that, ya know?” says Osamu

“Unbelievable” adds Suna

“It’s okay, right Yn-chan? It’s just a welcome hug” says Atsumu while looking at you “besides look how small she is next to me. Adorable”

Surprisingly enough, it’s not uncomfortable, somehow Atsumu gave you a really nice aura. Flirty, yes, but nice. “Was it necessary to say that I’m short? Really? Rude” you say back to him while rolling your eyes, trying to sound as playful as you can.

“Quit flirting with the poor girl and let’s go eat” says Suna while you shake off Atsumu’s arm to walk to the cafeteria.

Once in there, the twins went to sit on a table while you and Suna went to grab food. While you didn’t talk a lot in the line, it wasn’t uncomfortable. When you were done, you look for the twins, finding them easily since they were bickering; but on the way to the table, you once again feel eyes on you, somehow Suna noticed how uncomfortable you were, giving you sympathetic smile.

Sitting next to Osamu, you took your phone out and film the food, pointing towards the guys right after. Suna gives a little nod, Atsumu waves excitingly and Osamu smiles a little right before digging in his food. While Atsumu talks about something with the guys, you ate silently enjoying their chat.

“It´s soo cool that the three of us are going to be in the volleyball team, I heard that ya were really good in middle school Suna. Obviously not better than Samu and I, but still” says Atsumu

“Do you ever just…shut up?” Suna scoffs

“That´s just rude men… Anyways Yn-chan, do ya play volleyball?”

“No, I don’t. I do like watching it, though. It´s…ehh…intense” you answer, your Japanese failing by the end

“It´s really fun, ya should definitely come to our practices sometimes! I heard that we can have a manager, why don’t ya try that?” Atsumu looks at you with excited eyes, smiling slightly at your little mistake

“Tsumu, it the first day of school, let her adapt to all of this first. Ya just want her to be our manager because she´s cute” Osamu says hitting his twin in the back of the head

“Ouch! That’s not true! If she´s our manager it would help her too!”

“Let her decide for herself! He can get really annoying sometimes, please forgive him” Osamu tells you, shaking his head annoyed.

“If I am annoying so are ya, we have the same blood!”

And with that they start bickering again while Suna does comments here and there. You just sit there eating and watching them fight, laughing here and there over their silliness. Manager? You had no idea what a manager does, why would a high school volleyball team need a manager anyways? But even if you wanted to become their manager, you still needed to go to your Japanese classes, so it wouldn’t be possible.

The twins and Suna continue their conversation, always trying to include you with sweet smiles. The minutes past fast and before you know it, lunch time was over. You didn’t expect to feel so comfortable with anyone, let alone this fast, but they did a great job at trying to make you feel welcomed.

+

The first school day was finally over. The twins and Suna left the classroom right away because they had to be early at the gym, but they made sure to scream a goodbye to you. Walking outside the school, you felt stares at your back, but this time it wasn’t like before. As you turn around you see a group of girls looking at you, hatred coming out of their eyes; confused once again, you turn around to leave before you heard

“YNNN-CHAAN! Wait!”

“What happened Atsumu? Didn’t you have to be at the gym?” you asked him once he was close enough

“Yeah, but we have to fill our waters. Anyways, that’s not the point, the coach told us that we can have a manager, but we had to make sure that it isn’t any of my fangirls or anyone crazy” he tells you with a smile

“You have… fangirls? Why?”

“Why wouldn’t I have fangirls? I´m amazing at volleyball and handsome… So what do ya say?” Atsumu says with a bit of hope in his eyes

“Ehh, I don’t know what a manager does but-”

“Don’t worry, it´s easy, we can help ya! Please?”

“Well, it´s not just that I don’t want to, I can’t. Japanese classes” you answer him back. It honestly didn’t sound so bad being their manager.

“Ohh true, ya still need to learn more Japanese"

“Yeah, sorry”

“It´s okay, yer´re trying really hard to learn our culture anyways. But ya have to come to our practices sometimes, okay? Samu and I basically adopt ya already”

“A-adopt?” you asked him. Inside the gym someone calls for Atsumu, with an annoyed tone.

“Haha cute. I have to go, see ya tomorrow, Yn-chan!”

And with that he left to the gym before he got yelled for again. You began walking towards your house with the thought still in your head. Adopt you? What does he mean? However, you can’t stop the little smile over how good this day was.

Thursday morning. You repeat the same routine, but this time reading the messages from your old classmates. “The school looks so pretty!” “They still use chalk boards?” “Who are those boys you ate lunch with? They look fine, how did YOU talk to them?” “Did going there change your personality or something?” “Hope you´re doing fine <3”. You roll your eyes, but you also couldn’t blame them; you were an introvert, how could you have the balls to talk to guys like Atsumu, Osamu and Suna? They were obviously handsome.

This time you arrived to school much earlier than yesterday. Opening the locker to put your school shoes you noticed a piece of pink paper falling down, you tried to read it, but the handwriting was really messy, making it difficult to understand. You put the paper in your pocket and immediately went to the classroom to wait there, only looking up when the chair moved with Suna giving you a little nod.

“Hi” you say

“Hi, not filming today?” he asks looking at your phone, which is currently unlocked on the table.

“I already did, my old classmates find the school pretty” you answered with a smile on

“Oh? You send it to them already? Eager to show off a little?” He smirks

“Nah they were…ehh…annoyed…no, annoying about it. It’s on YouTube” you said stumbling over a word.

“Lemme see” out of nowhere he takes your phone and does something. It was so sudden that you weren’t able react “I sent me the link from your video, and I added my number too. Let me text you the number of the twins” You immediately received a text, first an emoji and then 2 contacts labeled as ‘Tsumu and 'Samu

“SUNAA! Ya left practice early?! Yer’re lucky that our coach wasn’t there” Atsumu enters screaming, moving his eyes to you with a smile.

“It was just a few minutes early, relax, besides you two were the slow ones, technically practice was over when I left” Suna says with a blank face.

“Whatever, how are ya, Yn?” Atsumu asks you

“Good, more relaxed than yesterday. You practice in morning?”

“In the morning, and yes, we do. It’s not a heavy practice like in the afternoon though” Osamu corrects you while entering the classroom and eating some cookies, which he offers you some.

“Ya should definitely come to see us, the second and third years are awesome! By the way, let me add our numbers so we can text ya!” says Atsumu smiling.

“Oh, Suna send them to me already, let me text you” grabbing your phone, you send the both of them a ‘hi 😸’, immediately receiving a text from the both of them.

“The video was beautiful Yn-chan, the aesthetics suits you a lot. You really put us on it, huh?” says Suna out of nowhere

“Well, I met you yesterday, no? That’s the idea…”

“Ya made a video? Show us?! Who looks better on it, Samu or me?”

“Obviously me, ya idiot! I’m the handsome twin yer’re the dumb one” says Osamu while smirking

“Everyone go to your seats now!” the teacher screams while entering, cutting the conversations.

It’s lunch time already, and once again Suna and you go to get lunch while the twins look for a table. This time he took your arm delicately, moving you slightly to hide you from the prying eyes.

“So… did you classmates said anything else apart from how pretty the school is?” he asks

“Hmm… they say that you guys are hot, and ask themselves why you talked to me in the first place” you laugh a little at that, but Suna squints.

“Why wouldn’t we talk to you? You look and are nice. Your classmates sound quite rude if you ask me” says Suna while taking money out of his pocket

“Well, I’m not that good at talking” you mutter while putting your hand in the pocket, but instead of money you touch a piece of paper “Oh yeah, what does this say?”

Suna takes the paper, scanned it and throws it to the trashcan with a scoff “Just Atsumu dumb fangirls saying to get away from him. Don’t listen to them” he rolls his eyes, annoyed “I’m paying for your lunch, by the way”

“Oh yeah, he has fangirls…wait, why are you paying?”

“I want to, take it as a welcome gift or whatever” he shrugs his shoulders before petting your head

“Thanks” you can feel yourself blushing. Why do you have to be so shy? You look to the front but through the corner of your eye, you can see Suna smirk at the reaction he caused on you. Walking back to the twins, you noticed that the table had a lot more people on it. Same as yesterday, you sit next to Osamu, shaking slightly when their eyes focus on you.

“Guys this is our friend Yn-chan, she is the cute foreign girl we told ya about. Yn-chan, some of the volleyball team” Atsumu presents you

“Hi, I’m Yn” you say quietly while nodding. After filming a little you turn to Osamu, who’s is eating something familiar

“Is that an…onigiri?” you asked hesitantly.

“Yes! I made them myself. Want to try one?”

“Sure. I haven’t tried them yet” you take the onigiri he’s offering, biting into it “Man, this is so good, what the hell?”

“They are so good they made ya speak English, huh?” you nod enthusiastically “glad ya like them, chibi-chan. I’ll make more for ya”

“Chibi-chan?”

“Yer’re small, which it’s cute. Chibi-chan fits perfectly”

“For the first time I completely agree with Samu, Chibi-chan suits ya really good, ya better get used to it” Atsumu butts in with a cheeky smile

“Sorry to interrupt, but is it okay to refer to her like that? Are you sure she’s its okay with it?” a boy with white hair says, looking at you with a blank face

“It’s fine, I guess. Thank you for caring…” you pause realizing you don’t know his name.

“Kita”

“Thank you for caring Kita-san, it’s okay” you repeat bowing slightly.

The lunch passed slower this time, mostly because you were answering the many questions that the rest of the team asked. You knew that they didn’t have mean intentions, they were just curious, but it was uncomfortable; the more you had to talk, the more your volume went down. Somehow, Suna was the first one to notice your nervous state. He didn’t exactly know why, but he likes you a little more than he likes the twins, even though he met you yesterday.

“Oh yeah! Atsumu can you tell your fangirls to stop bothering her? She received a threatening note in the morning. Thankfully she didn’t understand what it said, but still”

“A threatening note? Chibi, I’m so sorry for it. I’ll try to say something to them”

“Ugh, Atsumu fangirls are so annoying” someone from the team say, successfully drifting the attention away from you into Atsumu’s fan club. You look at Suna and mouth a little 'Thanks', which he returns with a little smirk and a nod. Despite being nervous, you found that the team was really fun. After lunch, everyone in the team went to their classes, not before saying goodbye to you.

“I forgot that ya arrived here a few days ago, and ya just had the school lunch so far. Don’t worry about tomorrow’s food, I’ll make ya a bento with some of my favorite things” Osamu says to you while walking towards your classroom

“You don’t have to…”

“I don’t remember asking ya. Seriously, it’s fine, I want ya to try other Japanese food outside of the cafeteria one” he says ruffling your hair

“Thank you” you move to give him a little hug, feeling him tense up slightly. Before you could question him, you heard Atsumu voice

“Samu! make me a bento too!” Atsumu exclaims looking at his brother, who simply said ‘No’ before walking away “why not? I’m yer twin!”

“That’s exactly why I don’t want to!”

You went straight to your sit while the twins still were bickering about the bento, unconsciously taking your phone out before starting filming them. You noticed that Suna also had his phone pointing to the twins direction, shooting you a playful smirk.

The day passes quickly after that. While you were checking your videos, which had a lot more views than you expected, you heard your phone ring.

+++

The morning classes pass normally, so now you are in the cafeteria ready for lunch sitting next to Osamu, who passes you the bento box with a smile on his face. The box was wrapped in a cute cat fabric. Opening it, you see the most beautiful food that you have ever seen, with things you already knew to things that you never seen before.

“So... I added some classics that ya already had before, at least in here, and some of my favorites from this side of Japan. Hope ya like it chibi” Osamu explains with an over-the-top reverence.

“I'm sure it's good, you made it. Thank you again” you say to him smiling, noticing a small blush on his ears. As soon as you tried the food your eyes go wide. While you didn’t know what exactly you were eating, it was so good “So fucking good, just unbelievable. So good Samu, so good” you mutter making Osamu smile grow even bigger

“Chibi, any plans for the weekend?” Suna asks while looking at with at you with little smile, the three of them were watching you with a soft look.

“Ehh... I need to finish unpacking. I don't know how long it would take”

“That takes a lot of time, and its so tiring and boring” you nod your head as an answer since you had your mouth full

“Chibi, when are ya coming to see our practice? We're really good” says Atsumu with a little pout

“I will go as soon as I can, I promise”

“Ya better”

You continue talking, well the twins with a few interruptions from you and Suna. Between talking to Suna and hearing the twins bicker with each other the classes past fast, the guys leaving to their practice as soon as they end. Walking towards the gates of the school you felt someone grabs your backpack effectively stopping you, finding the same group of girls from the other day.

“Look girls, it's the little whore. After all that's the only way she will get any attention from our Tsumu” one of them says

“Yeah, and why else would the boys talk to her otherwise...just look at her. Ew”

You just stood there without saying a word, partly because you weren’t sure what they were saying, but most importantly, you just wanted to go home “Can I go now? Thanks” you said while taking her arm out of you and walking away.

You can hear them yelling something, but you just put your earphones and completely ignore them. You knew that they were Atsumu fangirls, but they didn't seem to understand what the word fangirl meant. Debating between letting Atsumu know about it or not, you decided to just forget it; you knew that he would do something dumb by seeing his reaction whenever someone mentions them

The weekend pass fast between unpacking, taking Japanese classes and talking to the boys. On your way to school you felt some eyes on you, noticing an old man standing next to you. You noticed that the old man was trying to look at you discretely, taking his phone out; after a few minutes, you suddenly felt a hand near your skirt, the phone getting dangerously close. Instinctively, you move and ‘accidentally’ hit his hand, causing him to drop his phone with the camera open. The were still 3 stations left and the dude didn't seem to get a away soon, so you just moved as much as you could. You were a station away when you felt a hand on your lower back, noticing that it was from the same dude, you turned around and slap him as hard as you could, leaving the train right away.

You arrived to school quite fidgety, the adrenaline finally going down. Putting your head on the desk you teared up a little, realizing how scary the moment felt. While you were like this the boys enter from their morning practice, worrying as soon as they saw your state.

“Oi, what happened to you?” Suna asks while tapping your head, making you jump a little.

“Ah? ehh...” Should you tell them or not? You don't want to worry them, but you also knew it wasn't a good idea to not say anything “ehh...”

“Don't you dare to say it's nothing” he says again, Osamu and Atsumu arriving right after.

“Ehh...someone... subway... photo under my skirt...try” you tried to say in an extremely broken Japanese, voice shaking at the thought.

“A photo of ya? Under yer skirt?” Osamu asks softly making you nod.

“That motherfucker...how dare him?” Suna says while shaking his head. You tense up at the feeling a pair of arms and a chin on top of your head before relaxing in Atsumu embrace.

“I'm sorry Chibi” says softly, tightening his grip and effectively managing to calm you down with his hug

“It's okay, I guess... I slap him though”

“That's my girl, that asshole deserved it” Suna laughs slightly while patting your head.

“Glad that nothing more happened to ya chibi-chan” says Samu while patting your head “but if ya want us to beat him, we can”

Throughout the whole day the guys treated you even more gentle then usual, all of them trying their best to make you forget what had happened with their affection. The twins naturally ended up embarrassing themselves, but this time even Suna joined. The day ended, meaning that you had to leave while the guys go to practice.

“Be careful Chibi, if someone looks suspicious move right away”

“Yes, Samu, I’ll be fine, don’t worry. Thanks”

“If ya were our manager we could walk ya home, ya know?”

“Tsumu, not the time” says Suna

“My classes are near here, I’ll be fine, I promise. See you guys!” You leave waving at the boys, who wave back with a concern look before entering the gym.

Ending your class at 5, you walked in front of the school to go back to the subway, surprising you that it still was open. Will the guys still be practicing? The question is quickly answered when you hear balls hitting the ground, alongside the sound of sneakers and some screams here and there. You knock quietly and open the door to see who is in it, finding the guys playing. You stay in the section where they change shoes, in awe while watching them play. The guys were so focused playing than none of them even noticed that someone enter. The score was 20 – 24, the team of the twins winning, when the coach notice that you were standing there.

“Sorry, this is a close practice. No fangirls for today” he says

“Eh? I´m not a fangirl I´m-” you get interrupted by screams, noticing that the twins team won. They share hi-5’s before they noticed that you were talking to the coach “friends with some of them”

“Chibiii! Did ya see us play?”

“When did ya arrived?”

“Coach let her stay, she´s our friend”

“Yeah, she´s is Suna friend too, right Suna?”

“Yeah, she is. Hi Chibi” Suna smile slightly

“See coach, let her…”

“SHUT UP!” screams the coach “I understand, you don’t have to say it a million times” The twins stayed quiet right away, muttering a ‘Sorry’, but at the same time looking really happy “Since the practice match is over, we can finish now anyway. EVERYONE! Good job today, do your final stretches and clean yourself up. See you tomorrow.”

The coach leaves muttering about how annoying they were, making you chuckle while the twins and Suna look at you.

“Soo, ya watched us play?” Atsumu asks

“Yeah, for the last two points… it was awesome”

“Didn’t you have classes?” asks Suna with a malicious grin “desperate enough to come and see us?”

“Ha.ha no, my tutoring is nearby and we finish early, so I thought that I could come and see if you were still here”

“Ahh yeah, we normally practice until 18.30 or 19.00 depending on the day. Wait for us outside while we do our stretches and clean up, one of us will walk ya to yer house” says Osamu

“Okay”

“Wait, not fighting us back? Ya always deny everything at first” asks Atsumu confused

“It doesn’t seem like I have lots of options, does it?”

“True, anyways let´s change so we can go” adds Atsumu ruffling your hair

And with that the three of them turn around and go stretching. You left the gym and breath the pure air, since the gym one wasn’t pleasant after a bunch of teenage boys had practice there. You decided to post a story on Instagram as you wait, taking a photo of the sky and tagging the boys on it. You received some messages from your old classmates and one from Suna, just the 😑 emoji.

Once the 3 of them are out you walk to the subway, realizing that this was the first time the four of you walk together after school. The more time you spend with them, the more confident they make you feel, which ends up with you talking a lot more than the usual. It’s obvious that the guys noticed the change because their eyes widen a little and have a little smile, but decided to say nothing about it.

“So... where do ya go?”

“I take that subway, it's 12 stations to the one near my house”

“Oh, we live quite close then, I live 3 stations before you” says Suna

“Not fair, why do we live to the other side?” says Atsumu pouting

“Luck really isn't on our side huh?” Adds Osamu, a little disappointed too “anyways, go now before it's too late. Suna, take care of her”

“Bye guys, see you tomorrow!” You wave at them while walking to the other side of the station with Suna. He let you in first, immediately moving towards the back doors. Suna stands in front of you with his left arm right besides your head, making you realize just how tall he was next to you.

“Damn, you're tall” you say unconsciously

“Did you just realized that?” he asks amused looking down at you.

You blush at the realization that you said it out loud, looking to the other side while Suna just chuckles. Looking at your phone, you noticed it's already 6 pm, reason wht it was getting chillier. Since you have never been out at this time, and you didn’t expect to stay out until this late, you didn't bring anything for the cold afternoon.

Looking at Suna again, you decided to talk about his practice. He teaches you all the basics rules, like the rotation system, the libero, etc. And while some things didn't made sense, you definitely knew way more than before. Plus, it was nice to see him so relaxed.

Soon the train started to get full, so Suna ended up extremely close to you, the only thing separating you being your backpack. You noticed a small blush on Suna's cheeks while he tries to not look at you “Ehh, it's... okay if I put my hands beside you? I don't want to squish you” he asks you

“It’s okay, give me your backpack so it's easier for you” you say without looking at him; passing you his backpack while putting his hand on the other side of my head, he makes a little shield with his body. Since his arm was right beside your head, you decided to lay on it, feeling Suna stiff a little before relaxing. After a few minutes you look up ready to get off the train, Suna somehow understanding and taking your hand so you can walk out.

“Thank you for coming with me” you say

“What are you saying now? We aren't at your house yet”

“Eh? I thought that you would want to go back right away, after all you just finish your practice” you tell him confused

“Nah, I’m making sure you arrive home okay, I'm not that dumb. Now move” He says flickering your forehead lightly

You go out of the subway, immediately getting chills, the warmth of the train station leaving as soon as you go out, but you decided to ignore it and continue walking. Suna rolls his eyes whispering ‘This girl' before taking off his jacket and throwing it to your head “Put it on you idiot”

“Thanks”

You two continue walking while talking to each other, the conversation going from the things that your country has, your old school to his old school and the volleyball team.

“I would love to see an actual practice of yours, maybe even be your manager. It looked fun”

“You have classes everyday?” he asks

“Yeah, I finish at 5 in the week, the early that I can be at the school it’s at 5:15 or so”

“You know, we have practice on Sundays, you can come and see a full practice there”

“You practice on the weekends too?!” you exclaim

“Haha yeah, just Sundays though. Maybe, if you help us then, we can convince our couch to let you be our manager despite the time”

“Why would he let me be your manager? I don’t think arriving at 5 pm will be helpful” you look at him confused

“Well, if you do help us whenever you can, then why not? It’s not like you don’t want to. Besides it can give you special permissions to not go to school whenever we have a practice match outside the town or something like that” he says simply

“I can get permissions to not go to school just because I'm your manager? Let’s try it then. You should have told me that sooner”

“And here I thought that you wanted to spend more time with us, all it took was telling you that you could leave classes for you to consider it. I'm hurt Chibi. I'm hurt” he says with a fake hurt expression

“Such a drama queen. You know that I love you guys. Anyways, my house is over there, so let me...” you roll your eyes while opening the jacket and give it back, but his hand stops you before you could fully open it.

“Don't worry about it, just give it back tomorrow”

“This is your jacket for practice though, you guys have practice in the morning too”

“I'll use a hoodie. Go in now, I'm tired and I want to leave” he says bluntly, but with a softer look on his face

“Okay, okay. Bye Suna, see you tomorrow!” with that you got close while bringing him down to give him a kiss on the cheek. You turn around and enter your house, failing to notice how flustered Suna was, with his eyes widen and a heavy blush on his cheeks.

After getting ready for bed, you look at your phone, finding a bunch of texts from the group chat and one separately from Suna. You look at the group chat first, considering that it has the most messages on.

The next morning was quite chilly, so you just put Suna's jacket on and head out. You end up behind them once you arrived, so you took your phone out and started recording, hoping to catch their faces.

“Guys!”

“Chibi! Hii!” exclaims Atsumu

“What's up” says Suna while approaching you. He bends down so you can give him the same kiss than yesterday with a smirk on “Why are you wearing my jacket again?”

“It was cold”

“What just happened?” Asks Osamu stunned

“Samu...did they kissed or what? How? Are they dating already? No, they can't be. They met a few days ago, what's...”

“Shut up! It didn't look like a normal kiss... Chibi. Explain. Now” asks Osamu while crossing his arms waiting for an answer; he had a serious look while Atsumu was confused, going between Suna and you. You couldn't hold back your laugh much longer, bursting out laughing.

“You sure are idiots, we didn't kiss kiss” says Suna rolling his eyes

“Yesterday I accidentally said goodbye to him like that. It’s nothing serious” you tell them when your laughter stopped

“Your reactions were so funny”

“Ya guys are mean. I'll forgive ya just because yer're cute chibi” says Atsumu moving to give you a hug

“Ya scare me, I was ready to beat Suna up for taking advantage of my poor little girl” Osamu hugs you before bending down to your ear “However, if he does try to do something ya don't want, let me know right away, okay?”

“Sure Samu, you will be the first one to know if something comes up”

++

The week passes fast and before you know it was Friday. These past days you’ve been staying with the boys after your tutoring, helping them out with the water bottles and all the other managerial duties that you could help. You were talking to Kita, who helped you out with everything since he's not technically part of the team, while taking the equipment to the storage room, noticing a calendar that has a yellow circle on the 4th of April with the word "Aran" on it.

“That's Aran-san birthday, we have all the birthdays of the team on the calendar”

“Jesus! What the fuck, Suna! How the hell are you so quiet?! My heart”

“Not my fault you're deaf” He shrugs smiling

“Rude. Anyways that's cool… So your birthday is on January 25th, good to know” you whisper to yourself while looking through the calendar

“We should add our Chibi into the calendar!” exclaims Atsumu

“Finally, a good idea came out of yer mouth” mutters Osamu “When is it princess?”

You’ve been looking at the calendar while they were talking, arriving to the month of your birthday and seeing a bright circle with two names on it “No fucking way. You have to be kidding me” You mutter, the boys immediately looking at you “I share my birthday with the two of you?!”

“Hey why do ya look so annoyed by that?! I thought we were friends” says Osamu copying your expression

“Maybe that's why she looks so annoyed”

“Suna! Not now! But like really? Yer're on the 5th too?” Atsumu asks, making you nod before hugging you tightly “see Samu, I told ya she is our twin too. Ya can't get away from us now, we're family”

“Yay? should I be happy?”

“Of course ya should, don't ya love us?”

“Well...” you say finally breaking into a smile. Honestly, you didn't really care about sharing your birthday with the twins, you just wanted to mess up with them a little. Atsumu looks at you with a disappointed expression “I´m kidding, I´m kidding”

“Let me fix the calendar” Suna adds, taking a sticky note out and put it right on the 5th, writing just your name on it “Done, all the important birthdays added”

“SUNA!”

The team laughs at the scene of Atsumu fighting with Suna, who didn’t look like he cared. After a few minutes of the scene, the captain makes them stop, pushing the four of you out of the gym.

“I promise ya Chibi, we are going to have the best birthday ever!”

“Tsumu it´s not going to annoy ya, I promise” Osamu adds

“Yer´re the same as me, don’t pretend to be more mature now”

“God, love you guys” you whisper to yourself, but they manage to hear

“We love ya too” says Osamu, ruffling your hair

“Group hug! Come here Suna, ya know that ya want to do it too” Atsumu went to hug you, bringing his twin with him

“… Fine, just because of Chibi though”

++

You really love these boys for you to get up so early on a Sunday morning. You put some sweatpants and a hoodie, you weren’t going to get all fancy with clothes or makeup at this hour.

You were looking for your subway card when you see Suna resting on the wall writing something in his phone and then closing his eyes. You hear a notification immediately after, so you look at your phone and see a message ���Hey, at what time do you take the subway?’.

“Now” you answered, startling him a little “why are you here?”

“Can´t I pick you up now? If I knew I will be treated like this I wouldn’t have come” he says trying to sound annoyed, a soft smile threatening to appear.

“Thank you for coming. Let´s go, you´re going to be late” you grab his arm and pull him to the station. Even though you thought he will fight back or not let you pull him at all, he did nothing to stop you, he didn’t even shake your arm off even though you were already on the train.

You arrived to the school just on time, seeing the rest of team already there. They smile at you before going out for a run to warm up, so in the meantime you decided to fill up their water bottles and prepare everything in the gym for their practice. The coach entered soon after, surprised by seeing you there.

“Wasn’t expecting you here, Ms. Ln”

“The boys talk me into helping them, they really want me to be their manager” you tell him while shrugging your shoulders

“It would be a good idea, the twins look a lot more concentrated and fight less whenever you’re around, Suna tries harder than usual, and Aran seems more relaxed. Overall, everyone looks and acts better when you are here. Do you want to?”

“I do, seeing them get better and play its strangely comforting. Can I be the manager even if I arrive later than usual though?”

“Sure, why not. Besides I will never hear the end from the twins if I don’t let you be, we both win like this. I’ll tell the director about it. Can you make sure they practice correctly in the mean time?”

“Yes sir”

You go around giving them their bottles when the boys arrive all sweaty and tired. Once you were near Atsumu you smile at him brightly, making him look at you confused while receiving the bottle.

“Congrats, you guys have a new manager” you tell them while turning around and handing some towels to the rest of the guys.

“Huh? New manager?” his eyes widen at the realization “Wait! Are ya finally our manager?!” You simply nod, trying to not laugh. Out of nowhere you feel a pair of arms around you, lifting you up and turning you around “Yes! Our chibi is our manager!!”

“Tsumu you’re sweating! You don't have to make such a big deal about it” you say laughing along, however he just hugs you tighter and nuzzles his head on your shoulder

“Welcome to the team, officially now. Please help us to keep them in line” says the captain of the team with a smile.

The hours pass quickly with them practicing. You were taking some notes about them with the help of Kita, who explained everything very kindly. They practice throughout the whole day, finishing with a match between them.

“Chibi, do ya want to practice for a bit?” Asks Atsumu right before they started leaving

“Ehh... I remember learning the basics, I’m not good”

“C’mon, let me see what they taught ya” you did the basic arm position that you knew “Hey that's good, the arms have to be closer though. Why don't ya try receiving the ball?”

“You’re going to take my arms off. I have never done this and you want me to start with people that have played this sport since kids?”

“C'mon, I'm not going to throw it at ya with force. We don't even need the net”

“Do I even have a choice?” He shakes his head, sending you a smile “Fine, 10 minutes. You guys can leave, I don’t want you to see me embarrass myself”

“You're kidding? Our new manager learning how to play? I wouldn't miss this for anything” says Aran with a mocking grin on his face, the rest of team agreeing. With that Atsumu takes a ball and throw it high enough to make it as easy as possible. You were able to received the ball decently, half scared and half nervous.

“Hey, yer're pretty good for someone who never played before” he says

“Ya look so cute Chibi. My heart” adds Osamu with a hand on his chest

“She looks like a kid scared of the ball. So cute”

Every time Atsumu threw the ball at you, he changed something, from the force that he hit it to the place it was going to fall. The 10 minutes passed and your forearms were on fire, everyone started to leave before giving you some head pats, tiredness was getting over you by the minute

“See, yer're not bad at all. Maybe we can teach ya more later”

“Shut up Atsumu”

“Don't be mad! I needed to see how ya would react to different things”

“She looked so scared, it was fun and cute” Osamu giggles at the memory

“You too Osamu. You know how I said that I loved you earlier? Yeah, I take it back.”

“Ya can't and ya won't. Remember yer're our official new twin, there's no refunds in this” says Atsumu while back hugging you

“Samu, help me”

“Nope, ya call me Osamu, this is a payback”

“Suna?”

“Nah”

“Why are ya mad at me? I mean it when I said ya were good” Atsumu asks lifting you up while continue walking, like it was something normal.

“I woke up at a 6 am on a Sunday, my arms hurt, I'm tired, I embarrassed myself. Is that not enough for you? And put me down”

“I'm not putting ya down until we arrive to the subway. And thank ya, ya have put up with us a lot, we love ya a lot”

“You're not mad mad, are you? I feel that if you were you will be kicking our ass right now” Suna says

“Probably tired, she did wake up early and did a bunch of things she's not used to. I know that I would be if I was her”

“And this is why Samu is my favorite”

“Chibi-chan! I'm the one carrying ya!” exclaims Atsumu

“I didn’t ask you to do it”

“But still” with that he gets closer to whisper in your ear “Hey chibi-chan? Ya still love us, right?”

“Yes Tsumu, I do. I'm just tired, it was a long day” you sigh after hearing the sad tone in his voice.
