#i havent had time to study for it but ah well

[likesdoodling]

A day in the life of taking care of hyperactive elflings~

[orcelito]

I'm being like astoundingly social lately. Starting from Thursday last week, I saw my girlfriend, then spent time with family on Friday, then saw my girlfriend again on Saturday + some of her friends, then watched a movie and drew stuff with friends on Sunday, then had a session 0 for new dnd on Monday, then watched anime with a friend on Tuesday. Off day on Wednesday. Then on THURSDAY I hung out with my girlfriend, had a study session with friend group (with mixed success at the studying part), AND watched anime with a friend again. And then today, watched a different anime with a different friend.

And TOMORROW I'm going to a concert with family and a friend, Sunday I'm hanging out with my girlfriend, then Monday I've got dnd thing again (probably? Need to double check). And then potentially more hangouts to come.

It's insane. What is this new social me. I don't think I've ever hung out with this many different people in such a short time before.

BNHA College AU - Midoriya Izuku

Major: Biology

Minor: Forensic Science

Sports: Track

Clubs: Various fan clubs

Ever since izuku was little, he always had an interest in helping people. He’s overly caring and too nice for his own good, and on top of that the biggest overachiever on the planet

Which is why he wants to become a doctor. He hasn’t picked a specific department to go into, because he finds everything so interesting

He did also consider going into forensic studies as a whole career, always thinking solving crimes and stopping bad guys was super cool as a kid, and he knows there are ways he can kind of mix both interests, but for now hes just aiming for his degree

He does also hope to maybe be able to teach at medical schools later in life, once he’s fully experienced so that he can pass on all this experience to the next generation

Growing up he was always weak and small, and so towards the end of high school he decided he wanted to change himself a bit and worked out like crazy, going from scrawny as hell to strong and buff.

He’s always going to the gym in his free time, and he thought it would be a good idea to join a sport that way he can have some motivation to stay fit, so he picked track since he’s pretty agile

Any time a new fan club gets made for something he happens to be interested in, he’s always willing to join it, even if theres only like 3 members. He might not be the most active member, but he loves them.

Izuku is kind of known across campus now, hes so friendly that people cant help but like him. He’s also insanely helpful, and takes god tier notes, so a lot of people rely on him for help with school work

So, he has a busy schedule constantly. He prioritizes his friends over random people always, but with his heavy study based school paths, with sports, and working out, he rarely has free time

You had had a few classes with him here and there, and talked to him once or twice. You knew he was super sweet (and very cute), but you never really expected to even become friends with the dude

Which is why you were almost terrified when he ran into the room you were using for your new club (that you literally started like 2 days ago). You were more so looking for something to put on resumes and stuff, how you ‘managed a successful club in college’ or whatever, so you decided to make a fun little fan club for your favorite anime

Sadly, people weren’t exactly rushing to it (you knew it might take a while, but you knew people would come eventually at least to check it out). Which is why izuku running in so excitedly scared you

“Oh hey! y/n right? We had anatomy together last semester!”

You nodded, kind of surprised he remembered your name, and you asked why he was there.

“I love this anime, and I havent seen any other clubs for it here so i thought i would check it out.Is it just you?”

“Yeah, I just officially started this club the other day. No ones come yet except you.”

“Ah, well don’t worry, I’m sure people will come soon. It usually takes a week or two.”

The two of you started talking more, both about the anime you mutually enjoyed as well as him giving you advice for how to make people flock to your club.

He actually stayed for the entire time you were allotted to use this room, and helped you clean up (there wasn’t much, but you still had some materials just in case people did show up)

Afterwards, you both said goodbye, and went off on your own

Following this, twice a week every week, he would meet you for your club. Eventually more people did show up as well, izuku’s advice was working well, but you were more so interested in talking with him. As it turns out, his sweetness isnt just an act, and hes actually really interesting and fun to talk to

He would eventually even come a bit early to help you set up. Youd usually bring snacks and something artsy to do, or any type of activity you could think of to relate to the anime, so you tried to get there a bit early

After club one day, about 3 months after it started, Izuku and you were cleaning up the room just talking about whatever before he changed the topic

“Did you want to go get food after this? Like real food? I haven’t eaten all day other than what you brought.”

You were a little surprised, you had never hung out outside of club really, but you were definitely happy to do so so you agreed

The two of you walked to a near by restaurant, which also surprised you because you thought he meant fast food, and went inside. He told you to get whatever you wanted, that itd be on him, and you started to protest, “No, its okay! You don’t have to pay for me.”

He shook his head, “You have to buy snacks and supplies every week, youve probably spent way more than I will today, so I don’t mind.”

You definitely felt your face getting warm. You couldn’t really help it, he was so pretty, and probably the nicest man youve ever met. You had thought lately you might have the tiniest little crush on him, but now you were thinking it was an actual crush

It didn’t help when the waitress, a slightly older lady, finally came to take your order and went “Aw, you two are so cute! What’s the occasion?” It wasn’t a fancy restaurant by any means, but it was definitely nice enough to be date quality, and it seemed the lady assumed you two were a couple

And Izuku didn’t even care! All he did was smile and tell her that its a reward for all your hard work lately, to which she said he was ‘such a sweet boyfriend’, and then she asked for your orders

You told her what you wanted, and went quiet. He wasn’t saying anything either, and you wished you could reach into his brain and figure out what he was thinking. Was this just another act of kindness from him? Did he not get what she was saying? Did he just feel bad correcting her? It was too much to process right now, but luckily your food came pretty quick so you could hide your lack of talking through eating

The entire meal was pretty silent honestly, and it was killing you. Normally, you two could talk for hours about anything, but it was just so weird right now. You couldn’t even think of anything to say, and Izuku was staring weirdly at his food.

After he paid, and you walked back towards the dorms, you thanked him for all of his help with your club and for the meal, and he said not to worry about it, your little club was essentially his break time anyways.

There were a few too many moments of silence to be comfortable, so you awkwardly smiled, said “well, still, thanks again” before running off, not noticing Izuku’s lingering eyes on you as you disappeared into the building

In all honesty, izuku was just as flustered as you were. Hes worked hard over the years to not let all of his emotions show, but inside he was panicking the entire time.

He did enjoy your club a lot! It was probably one of the better fan clubs he’s joined, but he didn’t give it so much loyalty just because of that. He stayed because of you - how enthusiastically you talked about the things you like, or your career choice, or anything. How passionate and caring and considerate you are, not to mention beautiful. You’re genuinely perfect in his eyes

Originally, when he asked you if you wanted to eat, he was considering asking you on a date, but he chickened out and made it sound more casual instead

Which is why as he walked back into his dorm, his roommate, Iida, had to deal with all of the loud groaning and mumbling coming from Izuku’s mouth

Izuku had told Iida about his crush on you, and about how he wanted to ask you out today, so his first assumption was that you rejected him. But then Izuku went over and told him about how much of a coward he is, and Iida realized he never even asked you

“It’s alright, Izuku, you can always try again next time.”

Izu shook his head, overthinking, “No, they probably think I’m so weird now. I was so awkward. They were barely talking the entire time we were at the restaurant. Even if it wasn’t a date, it was still so awkward, Iida! I doubt they’d ever even consider dating me now.”

He was kind of losing it, so Iida patted his back in an attempt to comfort him.

“Just go explain yourself now then, before it’s been too long.”

Izuku considered it, and he was probably right. If he waited too long, he might lose all his nerve and never ask you out. And if you did think today was too weird, who knows if you’d even talk to him again.

He decided he’d do it, and so he thanked Iida and went back outside and towards your dorm building. He had your number because you put it on your welcome message for the club for anyone to text you if they had questions, but the two of you had never texted before. He was always too nervous to

Soon after, you got a message from an unknown number, reading “Hey, its Izuku. I’m sorry about earlier, I was wondering if we could talk? I’m outside your dorm if you can.”

You immediately felt anxious, but happy at a chance to make sense of what happened earlier. So you got dressed (you had changed into pajamas as soon as you got home) and went back out as quickly as you could, and immediately noticed him

He was anxiously messing with his fingers, but he smiled softly when he saw you

“Hey, thanks for coming out here. I promise I won’t take long, I just needed you here in person.”

You nodded slowly, slightly confused, but told him not to worry and you didnt mind it.

“So, uhm, I’ll just get straight to the point. Earlier, I was going to ask you on a date, but I chickened out and made it a more casual thing. Which is still fine! But that’s why I was so weird, I was kind of mad at myself and kind of embarrassed. The waitress didn’t really help any, but her thinking I was your boyfriend did make me happy… Anyways! Before I go on too long of a rant, I’m just trying to say I like you Y/n, and if youd let me, I’d really like to take you on an actual date.”

Your heart was melting, he looked so cute and shy as he asked you, and it made you happy knowing your feelings were reciprocated.

“Yes, of course I’d let you, Izuku. I like you too.”

He let out the biggest sigh of relief, barely mumbling out ‘oh thank god’, and his smile only got bigger when you hugged him.

For your real* first date, he took you to a nearby aquarium, it was really cute. He couldn’t help but send this really cute selfie he took of the both of you in front of a sea turtle to his mom and his friend group chat

Most of his friends were ecstatic for him, bakugou did make fun of him though for taking so long to ask you out (of course he knew about his crush too)

His mom immediately wanted to meet you, and you did after a few weeks of dating

It really didn’t take long for Izuku to tell you he loved you, like maybe a month later at most, you’re cleaning up the club room again and he just stops what hes doing and kisses you softly before saying he loves you, to which you reciprocate

He takes you with him to the gym all the time, even if youre not super into working out you can just hang out with him or go at your own pace. But its a great opportunity for tons of hot pictures/videos

Same with his track meets, youre always there cheering him on

You two study together a lot, especially if youre in the same class or even similar ones. Izuku always makes sure youre prepared for your tests even if it means he has to learn the material with you

Izuku is genuinely probably one of the best boyfriends on the planet, you are his biggest motivation and he will do anything to make sure that you are happy

[yaksha-lover]

Hello~~ glad your requests are open, and a happy vacation for you! is it ok if I request a Riddle x reader where they bot pin each other (but havent said anything yet) and reader makes the joke/flirt that their future child is going to be hella unlucky because both of their parents are going to be short ;) (thanks!!)

Riddle x short!reader, gn pronouns but mention of biological children

Attending tea parties with Riddle and the rest of Heartslabyul has become your recent pastime. You’d dropped by occasionally before when Ace and Deuce could rope you into it, but now you’ve started coming because of Riddle’s invitation. That’s how you find yourself sitting beside Cater and Trey and across from Riddle himself.

“Wow, prefect, it’s been almost twenty minutes, and the housewarden hasn’t even critiqued your tea party etiquette once! Think it’s because he’s going easy on you?” Cater says with a wink.

Riddle glares at him: “Unlike some of you, the prefect is responsible and mature enough to study the rules beforehand. They are simply an excellent guest. Also, do not talk about me as if I am not right next to you.”

“Exactly,” you say, “There are only a few hundred rules. It isn’t hard to memorize if you care to do the work.” You smile at Riddle and feel a surge of unexpected warmth when he smiles back.

Cater repeatedly looks between the two of you before staring at Trey: “You’re seeing this too, right?”

Trey laughs. “Such high praise, Riddle. And you, perfect. You’re so sensible; it’s almost like having another Riddle around.”

“I suppose we are quite similar in some ways,” you say, suddenly feeling shy. “Maybe even too alike in some. It’s unfortunate, but I suppose our children will also have to bear the burden of our similar stature.”

Silence ensues as Riddle turns as red as his hair. It doesn’t last long as Cater and Trey’s laughter fills the air. You flush a little but begin to laugh along with them.

“Prefect?” Riddle asks, baffled at your state.

“Apologies, Riddle, I guess I had to tease you a little.” You say, reaching across the table to take his hand. He looks to the side but doesn’t pull away.

“Our children would be at no disadvantage to others just because of their height. I would ensure that.”

It’s your turn to be embarrassed as you suddenly find the hedgehogs on the lawn to be quite interesting.

“Lighten up, you two! You’re still in school. There’s no reason to dwell on your inevitably short children now.”

Riddle finally turns back to the table to scowl at Cater: “In accordance with the rules, no talk of children is appropriate while drinking Hibiscus tea. Do you not realize what you are drinking, Cater?”

“Well, look at the time,” Cater says, checking his invisible watch, “Trey and I have to get going for that thing we have. Right, Trey?

“Ah yes, that thing. We better go quick or else we’ll be late. We wouldn’t want to reflect poorly on Heartslabyul like that, would we housewarden?”

Riddle sighs in exasperation: “Just leave, you two.”

After Cater and Trey mumble quick ‘goodbyes’ and ‘see you next tea party,’ you and Riddle are left alone at the table. He still hasn’t pulled away from your hand.

“Prefect, I know you jest, but I was serious about what I said. I hope my height does not…dissuade you from me.”

“Of course not, Riddle. That would be awfully hypocritical of me, don’t you think?” You stroke your thumb across his hand. “Plus, I know better than anyone not to judge someone by their appearance. You’re hardworking, intelligent, talented…and I find you quite beautiful.”

Riddle turns his hand over to hold yours properly, his voice shakier and softer than you’ve ever heard: “I’d like to see our future together if you’re willing to join me.”

When you squeeze his hand, Riddle knows you’ll be by his side.

Sup bitches im back

Very excited bout this fic, it's a favorite concept of mine that I haven't written before (I don't think)

havent had the best day but hopefully this will help both you and me

So yeah enjoy

It was a peaceful, warm (at least inside the common room it was), quiet evening in the gryfinndor common room.

Remus was curled up in his favorite armchair by the fire, reading.

For once it was a book he wanted to read to relax not for studying or school work.

He looked up after about half an hour of quietly reading. It was too quiet.

Something was wrong the small voice in his head told him. Maybe not wrong just missing.

Ah, gryfinndor's two resident trouble makers must be currently terrorizing someone else in the castle instead of making the common room as loud as a amusement park.

He shrugged and turned his focus back to his book, he had the feeling the common room wouldn't stay quiet for long so better make the best of it.

After another half an hour his prediction came true (you don't have to be a seer to know that James and Sirius wouldn't stay away for very long) as James and Sirius crashed through the portrait hole.

They hopped through, gigging like misbehaving little kids.Remus spared them a glance but then ignored them.

They walked over still in the heat of a post prank conversation and sat down, James on the edge of the couch and Sirius on the floor a few feet in front of Moony.

"Oi Remus," Sirius said, grinning like a mad-man. "Do you wanna hear about the prank me and James just pulled?" He giggled.

Remus responded with silence, his eyes still gliding down the page.

"Remus?" Sirius asked a little louder. "Helloooo!"

He waved he hands in front of Remus but still got no response. When you lived with three trouble-making idiots you got pretty skilled in the art of ignoring people.

Remus did respond with an surprised "Hey!" when Sirius snatched the book out of his hands.

"Aha! He lives." Sirius exclaimed triumphantly.

"Welcome back to the world of the living, Remus." James grinned at Remus' eye roll.

"Give me my book back." Remus demanded before Sirius could start on his epic story of James' and his' shenanigans.

"What this book?" Sirius wiggled the book and Remus nodded.

"Come and get it," Sirius stood up and held the book close to his side, protecting it from Remus grabbing it.

Remus sighed in 6'3 to Sirius' 5'10 and stood up as well, instantly reaching to take his book back.

Sirius moved it out of his reach doing it a second time when Remus went to grab it again.

"Sirius, stohop." Remus couldn't help but laugh at Sirius' antics sometimes.

"No! Ack-!" He shouted in surprise when Remus almost tore the book from his clutches before throwing it to James.

James grinned and jumped over the couch to escape Remus.

A game of monkey in the middle started, Remus against Sirius and James.

It was decently hard for James and Sirius to throw it over Remus' head because of his height but they managed.

"Come on, just grab the book." Sirius held it teasingly out in front of him but when Remus went to take it threw it back to James.

"Oh my god," Remus muttered as Sirius and James laughed.

When Sirius held it out in front of him again Remus didn't fall for that trick and instead tackled him to the floor.

The two immediately started wrestling for the book, rolling across the floor in front of the fire.

"Give it back!!" Remus shouted, crawling over to where the book lay.

"No!!" Sirius laughed, reaching it first and curling up with it in his arms.

Remus tried to pry Sirius open but to no avail.

He frantically moved his hands around Sirius' torso to see if there was an opening somewhere where he could worm his hands.

Instead he only managed to get Sirius to yelp and giggle a bit.

"H-hey! Nohoho tickling!" He said through some soft giggles.

"Tickling? What?" Remus asked before an idea struck him. It was his turn to grin before he wiggled his fingers and dug into Sirius' belly.

"Wait, hold on- Remus, nohoho!!" He laughed.

Remus reveled in his childish laughter, his hands tickling where ever they could reach to make Sirius laugh the hardest.

His fingers slipped under his shirt and softly fluttered around his belly button making Sirius' laughter to silent.

It came back with full force when Remhs switched back to kneeding tickles.

"Jahahames!!" Sirius yelled, getting his attention.

Sirius threw the book at James who caught it. James and Remus looked at each other before Remus got up and started chasing him.

James didn't get far before Remus tackled him to the ground too.

James was laying on the book with Remus sitting on his back to pin him.

Without hesitation he dug his fingers into James' ribs causing James to instantly start cackling.

"Not the rihihibs!!" He groaned.

Jamss flopped around uselessly before attempting to push himself up.

Sirius whom had been watching from a far, jumped in to help Remus.

He grabbed James arms and pulled them above his head. Remus let Sirius roll him over so that James was now lying on his back.

Remus took the book and layed it aside so that it wouldn't get further damaged.

Remus once again dug into James' ribs, wiggling his finders in-between the bones making his friend throw his head back and kick his feet.

"This is what you get for taking my shit!" He said to James' hysterics. He leaned down quickly and blew a raspberry on his ribs to see James' reaction.

He squealed and laughed harder, squirming relentlessly.

"He started it!" James nodded up at Sirius.

Remus and Sirius made eye contact for a good ten seconds before Sirius let go of James and ran with Remus right on his tail.

He grabbed Sirius around the middle, holding him in a trapping hug.

Sirius attempted to escape but was grabbed by James who had caught his breath enough to help Remus with Sirius.

Remus sat on his waist and James sat on his arms so that Sirius was rendered useless.

"What's wrong Padfoot?" Remus asked while Sirius giggled in anticipation. "Scared I'm gonna do this?"

He dug his hands into Sirius' thighs and grinned at Sirius' reaction.

"Oh, you though I was gonna go for your belly didn't you?" Sirius flushed red, hiding his face with James' leg.

"Don't worry, I'll tickle your belly Padfoot." James said digging into the sides of Sirius' belly, grinning when Sirius howled with laughter.

"Rehehemus hasn't been tickled yehehet!!" Sirius shouted before falling back into high pitched laughter.

Now it was Remus' turn to look scared as James grinned at him.

"Noooo.. no, James!! Dohon't- don't touch mE-!" He shrieked when James pulled him by his foot so now Remus was on the floor, on his back with James sitting on his waist.

James squeezed his sides and, using his thumb, kneeded into Remus' stomach.

Remus frantically giggled and latched onto James' wrists, pulling them away from his sensative torso.

"Oho no you don't," Sirius hoped up and grabbed Remus' hands, pulling them above his head.

Remus looked up at a grinning Sirius before Sirius dove down to kiss his neck, which Remus thought shouldn't have tickled but it did.

James moved spots to Remus' hips, squeezing them once to hear Moony yelp and let him now what was coming.

He was too busy gigging at Sirius' hands or lips to notice much.

James smirked and circled his thumbs into his hips, digging into the ticklish bundle of nerves.

Remus threw his head back and cackled which wasn't very smart of him because it opened up more places for Sirius to tickle.

"I give, i gihihive! You guys wihihin!!" James and Sirius immediately let go and high fived.

Sirius leaned down and actually kissed him this time but it was a little awkward because they had never kissed each other upside-down.

James and Sirius lay down next to panting Remus and stared up at the ceiling.

"You okay?" James asked Remus when he huffed out a little batch of giggles.

"Yeheheah, it still tihickles." They all chuckled at that.

"Go ahead and tehell me about the prank yohu two pulled.." Remus said after a few minutes of comfortable silence.

Sirius instantly jumped right into the story of how he and James set up glittery dung bombs to go off at the slytherin table at breakfast of the next day, James adding along adds the story went on.

Quiet was nice, Remus could admit that. But he could deal with the noise these two brought along with them.

Hope you liked

[good-beanswrites]

Heyo!! :D uhh I was just thinking about prompts!! I have two that I've just been thinking of! You can do one or the other, I don't mind ^^ Yuno with Blanket (if you havent done that yet :o) and Muu and Yuno with Honesty :D

Thank you so much :D!! Your writing is so funky I love reading it, it's like my daily newspaper abejfncjcn

Hi Mug :D thank you so much aah!! I really loved these combos, that's so sweet for both of them ;-; Here's Yuno and Blanket -- something lighthearted from the beginning of t1, with a bit of her unfortunate people-pleasing habits.

“Requests are in!” Mikoto’s voice sang from down the corridor. The prisoners perked up from where they’d been lazing about. One would have thought he'd announced a jailbreak with the amount of energy that rippled through the room. Yuno leapt to her feet.

"You seem excited," Kazui chuckled as he stood. "What are you getting?"

She suddenly felt a twinge of shame for her reaction. Things weren’t bad in Milgram by any means, but the atmosphere was beginning to creep under her skin now and then. There was an old comfort she’d been dreaming of the past few weeks. It felt embarrassing to say to someone as concerned with his maturity as Kazui. 

"Oh, nothing much,” she said. “Just something that reminds me of home, like the cigarettes you ordered." She didn’t know him well enough to say so, but she was secretly grateful for his request. The smell of smoke was familiar to her as well. "But mostly it's something new around here -- isn't the whole thing exciting?" 

It was the first time they’d received a delivery, and everyone was eager to see if they got what they ordered. Though Yuno found the system surprising, it made sense. Milgram allowed more unique freedoms than a normal prison, given it also inflicted more unique restraints. 

She joined the group heading down the hall, all chattering in anticipation. 

"Yuno!" Mahiru waved her over. The woman had talked about the products and creams she'd requested, in the hope of keeping up her skincare routine. Yuno would be following suit soon, though she wanted those things to keep herself feeling refreshed rather than looking a certain way. There was no one here to impress. With her looks, that was.

Mahiru’s eyes gleamed. "What did you order?"

Yuno knew she wouldn't satisfy her appetite for gossip as much as Shidou testing his luck with medical supplies or Amane’s taste in high-level study materials had. 

"Something real cute~" was all she needed to say to get her giggling. 

Es instructed them to line up in front of their room to distribute everything. Yuno found her place behind Haruka. 

"Hey, hey! What are you getting?" She wasn't immune from that same gossipy curiosity…

His cheeks immediately reddened. "Uh, well, I h-hope I can get some c-candy. It -- I mean, it's kiddish, I know."

"Don't worry, some might think my request is childish, haha! Plus, I think Muu ordered sweets, too."

This seemed to calm him a bit as he walked ahead. Fuuta nudged her from behind.

"Oi, what did you ask for?"

She'd overheard him and Kotoko discussing what would likely be caught as a tool to escape, and knew her answer would disappoint him.

The bright smile she’d given Haruka angled into a more jaded smirk. "Eh, just something to get me through the night, you know? A practical comfort."

Fuuta grunted, respecting the choice. 

Her attention returned to the front of the line, where Haruka was returning with loose treats spilling from his hands. She took his place in Es' doorway.

"Prisoner 002," Es scanned a piece of paper. "For you… ah,” They read it again. “Just a blanket? Was that all?" 

She beamed. "Yup! Just a blanket." 

“You strike me as the kind to ask for a lot…”

“Mmm, you’ve read me well, Warden! Not this time, though. Gotta start small, then see what I can weasel out of you!” She winked. As usual, Es pretended to be unimpressed. Yuno knew she was wearing them down, bit by bit.

She offered a bouncy bow as Es handed it over. She hadn’t given many specifications, but it certainly looked as big and fluffy as she had hoped. Milgram had gone with pink -- the same shade as some of her uniform accents. 

"Thanks!" 

The prisoners' excitement died down fairly quickly afterwards. Amane began reading in silence. Kazui retreated to the smoking room alone, though Shidou and Mikoto promised to join him after the next round of requests. Haruka had nearly finished eating all of his candy by nightfall. Kotoko sat by herself to jot things down in her new notebook. Yuno’s good mood lasted much later. 

Once the bell had rung and silence fell onto the prison, she could feel the usual chill start to creep into her cell. It had gripped her with fear the first few nights -- that unshakable coldness that reminded her why she was here in the first place. Sometimes, when her body jolted her awake with the feeling of falling, she'd blame it on the temperature rather than a universal human experience. It brought up too many painful memories to be something so ordinary, after all.

But not tonight. 

Tonight there would be no falling, and no chill. No stepping into bed with enough skin showing to make her shiver. No more crafted conversations or flashing certain expressions.

A goofy grin spread across her cheeks. Yuno unfolded the blanket with a flourish. She swept it around her body, then flopped down on her bedding. With nothing more to worry about, she sank into the cushy blob.

‘Just a blanket’ her ass. This was the warmest she’d felt in a very long time.

I heard that the Cliffs were corrupt, tell us more!

The best part is this fan technically go for two aus??

---

When the Cliffs Fall:

-Its a slow change in the Cliffs to a more corrupted look.

-Some people don't recognize or care about it, they can still continue in the Academy or doijg their jobs

-Gem installs a class at the academy so that the students learn about the corruption, study it like she has

-She doesnt want them to make the mistakes that shes watched her friends make

-In the back of her mind though, something is telling her this is a bad idea.

---

Vampire Twins au:

-Gem's 15 when Fwhip leaves the Cliffs to return home

-She's 16 when she becomes top student of the Academy.

-At 16, her life goes downhill. The headmaster is cruel to his top students, and she knew this.

-Fwhip loses contact to his sister

-Gem begins to lose belief in the gods, unlike her twin, and much like the rest of the people in the Cliffs

-They meet again in the Eastville Chapel, where Gem comes in and stares at him on his knees.

"Hello, Sister."

"You still believe?"

"Of course I do."

"What have the gods done for us?"

"What have they not done for you?"

-They come to a minor disagreement about the religious beliefs in both empires

-Next time they talk, its been two years and Gem is there for his coronation for Count. A large party in eastville, all empires alike and people from everywhere is welcome in. The city floods with people to the castle ball room.

-its a masquerade, people mistake Gem and Fwhip before seeing their eyes. They apologize for the mistake, neither corrected them.

"Count Fwhip! My, you have long hair. Ive never seen a count in a dress other than your mo- ah- uhm.. Apologies, Grand Wizard."

"...Youre fine dear."

....

"Grand Wizard! I swear you had longer hair, but I must say it looks won-.. Apologises, Count."

"No need to apologize, my friend."

-Fwhip can spot Gem out of the crowd from a mile away

-He knows his sister

-She knows her brother, they make eye contact across the crowd.

-He ends his conversation and makes his way to her, she stays where she is.

"Sister."

"Count."

"You don't have to call me that."

"...Brother." She smiles, as she says it. He smiles as well

"Glorious party the royal advisors have made, yes?"

"Oh, Yes. I havent been to one of these since we were children."

[lostacelonnie]

ds9 time, s2e12

well alright odo whatever tickles your fancy sir

quarks genuinely taken aback that odo seems to be seriously about a purchase.

who the fuck is mora. should i know this man

yeah id be kind of annoyed if someone came up to me, unannounced, and started critiquing my shapeshifting

i dont like dr mora

i do like that odos like 'id like a runabout' and sisko immediately goes 'yeah sure. what for'. just completely confident. has basically no reason to deny that request of any of his major crew members unless context suggests a problem (i think kiras run against that a handful of times).

dr mora is acting like a dad trying to provoke a child to speak and odo is just like. for fucks sake man. fine. yeesh

my question to mora is when he says 'work with you', does he mean working with odo as a peer, or with in the sense that you work with computers, with a field of study?

thats a familiar looking set, i love the soundstage lads. oh a beautiful background, that one, Stunning.

i love that their standin for 'odo juice' is clearly just some iron filings with a magnet being spun around it. excellent shit.

okay im attempting to recalibrate if i should give a shit about mora based on how odo reacts and because odo is shit at expressing his emotions (mood, sir) and im still struggling to figure that one out.

'he hid my clothes so i wouldnt leave' bashir buddy cmon

oh that man might be dead

"if you run into my wife don't mention i did this" obrien i love you

ugh thats so goopy

"my replicator or yours" i find that such a cute phrase. and again, the evidence persists that dax is probably the only person who enjoys julians company other than garrick lmao, if she wanted to invite it out for drinks.

okay julian my guy what does THAT mean. i thought we'd stopped being cringe heterosexual. oh thank god for drama.

"its a nickname i barely tolerate" "its an expression of affection" dr mora sir those are not mutually exclusive. my friends have expressed their affection for me by pre-emptively censoring their horniness in such a way that makes me feel like a piece of shit buzzkill despite having done nothing - affection need not be accepted at the end point. eat shit. anyway uh

i hate dr mora

dax's vibe in this scene with mora where moras all 'ah, never thought hed grow up' and whatever its very :) please stop.

you know what it is? you know what it is. its that he keeps infantilising odo, and a lot of the traits hes picking out as things odo is/was "deficient" in are like. you know. Autistic traits. is that anything. i feel like thats where im rankling

ah okay so the twist is Odo's doing this shit subconsciously

mora pol is such a cunt. i hate this guy

"what humanoid have you been able to trust except me?" "WHAT MAKES YOU THINK I TRUST YOU?" "I resent that" good! fuck off cunt!

he sucks so much. feeling hes owed odo's trust because of his effort, fuck you. odos having a breakdown and hes just charging forward with his self-centering. absolute state. oh is the twist going to be that he's causing this to try and coerce odo back into his lab?

oop hes melting oop oop oop

"its separate and independent from the odo we know" are you sure about that. are you confident. are you positively convinced. because im not. im not convinced.

if this episode is going to try and convince me mora has had any change of heart, its not gonna work, i tell you what. i honestly hope its kira that manages to get him to back down since we've established she is probably the person he trusts most on the station. just to prove mora wrong about his lack of trust in others. i want them to prove it, yknow.

oh great it is trying to convince me. "ive done it again havent i? made you a prisoner" YES. YOU SHITSTAIN. YOU WANKROD.

bleugh.

its annoying because i think its a good episode. there's good drama, you learn a lot about odo and where he's been, its good. there's good dynamics with the cast. i just dislike mora pol to such an extent that it makes it hard to buy into that specific axis of the drama, and its the primary one. thats the one im meant to care about. and i cant. because he appears and everything says no, nonono, this man is no good father. and it wasnt like he was even doing bad shit at the start, i just caught a vibe and went euuuugh.

headcanons for an Mc with cptsd and the brothers accidentally trigger them? (Not during the actively violent parts in the Canon game....just little things that remind them of trauma.)

Ah yes! I can definitely do this! As someone with C-PTSD, It is something I see in fics a lot that I havent ever felt relatable to my own experience so I will try to reflect that in here for anyone else who's experienced the same thing in the fandom! (I've been thinking about making this into a series as well but its on the backburner for now until I finish the main two I'm working on)

The Brothers Accidentally trigger Mc's C-PTSD

Fandom: Obey me

Genre: Hurt/Comfort, Headcanons

Written for GN!MC

CW: C-PTSD, panic attacks, Self-injurious behavior (e.g. hair-pulling, head-banging, scratching), implications of past abuse, somewhat suggestive on Asmo’s part, spoilers for lessons 16+

Lucifer

He, frankly, has no idea how we got here.

One minute they were fine, but the next Mc is shaking violently and sobbing.

When he tried to approach uou for comfort, you began screaming "No" at him and completely backed yourself as far away as possible

Lucifer is usually pretty insightful but it will take him a few minutes to figure out what it is he did wrong.

Eventually he will realize that it was the way he raised his voice at Mammon after he tried to swipe one of his priceless vases from the common room.

He will approach you slowly, soften his voice as best he can, and try to calm you down by getting you to take deep breaths.

He won't get too close at first for fear of having you bolt on him, but as you come down from the panic he will slowly inch closer.

Once you're lucid enough, he will apologize and ensure that aggression was not directed at you, and that he wasn't going to hurt you.

Lucifer will also offer you physical comfort if you want, holding his arms out for you.

He will completely abandon all of his tasks and take you to either his room or the study, and will spend the rest of whatever is left of the day listening to calming music with you.

He will make you whatever your calming drink of choice is (tea, coffee, hot coco, warm milk, etc) and ensure you're drinking enough water.

He will play games with you as a distraction. Chess, checkers, cribbage, mancala...(really whatever game you want to play)

He will also ensure you have some tactile comfort, whether that be a feather from his wings, one of the plushies he won you from the Carnival, or the gyroscope in his office.

If you want to talk about it, he will be there to lend an ear. Really he wants to learn more about you and other humans, so this will be something he is very intently listening too. He may ask some questions, but will only have you answer them if you feel comfortable doing so.

He will ask what your triggers are so he can avoid doing something to hurt you- even if they go against his usual nature.

Expect him to be very careful from now on, chosing his words carefully and watching his tone the next time he gets angry at one of his brothers and you're around.

Mammon

He really doesn't mean what he says when he insults you. He just is too embarrassed to admit how he feels.

But when he tells you your useless and stupid for the hundredth time, it finally makes you snap.

He stands there dumbfounded after you run away from him sobbing, not really knowing what to do.

After he snaps out of his daze, he immediately goes to find you. He had gotten into the habit of the insults, and you would never really give a response other than a wince and going quiet.

Well...now that he thinks about it, that's maybe a sign it has been grating on you.

He finds you in your room, sobbing relentlessly on the floor with your arms scratched up to hell and back.

At first he panics- seeing you hurt yourself terrified him. He rushes over to you and tears your nails away from your arms.

When you begin to beg him not to hurt you and profusely apologize for being "just a stupid fuck up", his heart breaks.

He would apologize relentlessly and admit to you everything- why he insults you all the time, how worried he was, how much he loves you.

He would do his best to calm you down (I say do his best because he may end up making it worse before he realizes what you need)

From here on out, he definitely would be more mindful of the insults, trying his best to be open with you about his feelings, or at least be more gentle with his teasing.

There may be times when he slips up, but he makes sure to atone as best his can

He would also be very sensitive to when others insult you, making sure to immediately come to your defense. He would also take you aside afterwards and remind you just how much you mean to him, how smart you are, how helpful you've been to everyone, etc...

Levi

In hindsight,  Levi should have seen this one coming...Of course he would fuck everything up

He wanted to be closer to you, but he remembered that being closer to someone entails you seeing his deeper flaws...and well...his impatience and easily triggered frustration are definitely some big ones.

But even so...your reaction to him throwing his controller and yelling when he dies the thousandth time on his new game seemed to be way over the top.

One minute you were sitting excitedly in the chair next to him, watching him game...and the next you were literally cowering in the furthest corner of his room and shielding your body from him as best you can.

He tries to approach you, but your screamed apologies for what you'd "done" to "make him angry" make him halt.

After a few moments of gears turning, it clicks to him that you've experienced something like this before...but directed at you.

Cue the festering guilt. He never meant to hurt you...damn these video games, you're more important to him than some stupid boss fight.

He will likely text one of his brothers (either Lucifer or Satan) and ask what to do, because he is terrified of hurting you more.

Once he has an idea of how to help though, he will be very calm and gentle, albeit nervous. He will likely offer you tactile comfort- like his Ruri-Chan pillow, or letting you pet his tail.

Once your comfortable enough, he'd hold your hand and make sure you know you've done nothing wrong, and that this is something he needs to fix himself.

And he will work on it, but it will take a bit of time. Old habits die hard for Levi, so he will have to be very intentional about his work on his irritability, and will probably opt for easier games when you're around to avoid outbursts.

Satan

This is the exact situation he'd feared would happen.

It really was an accident...and Satan knew that. But he just couldn’t help getting angry when you knocked over a stack of rare books... especially after one of the books ended up ruined by one of his absentmindedly placed candles. 

His room was always a mess, and even he knocked over the stacks of books littering the floor from time to time...and besides, he was the one who insisted you come to his room to read because he found the clutter in his room more comfortable, so he knew a lot of the blame fell on him. 

Regardless, he was so used to lashing out at others and blaming them for his upset, that his anger came out directed toward you. 

He impulsively snapped at you, scolding you intensely for being clumsy, careless, and unaware of your surroundings. 

He regretted the words the minute they fell from his mouth as your eyes grew misty with tears and your body began to tremble...He must have raised his voice louder than intended.

He tried to apologize immediately but you flinched when he approached. His heart ached when he say you jerk your body away from him so violently, as if you were afraid he would lay a hand on you. 

He stood, dumbfounded, as you ran from the room in a fit of uncontrolled sobs and shuttered breathing. 

He caught up to you quickly though, because- in your re-activated state- you became disoriented in the spiraling halls of the HOL. 

He found you on the floor in the music room, curled up against the Grand Piano as you rocked yourself back and forth and cried. 

He would hesitate to approach you, worried he may frighten you more...but after hearing your hyperventilating become worse, he sucks back his anxiety and approaches you cautiously.

He would sit next to you- as close as you’d allow him to get- and gently reassure that you were safe and that he wasn’t going to hurt you. 

He would try to help guide you through some circular breathing exercises, finding that doing it with you helped ease his worry as well. 

Once you were breathing evenly again, he would apologize about his reaction to the accident, taking the responsibility of ensuring his room is free of hazards that could get in anyone’s way regardless of if they were clumsy or not. 

If you weren’t able to talk, he would try to help you communicate how you could - squeezing his hand to yes/no questions, ASL if you know it, or in drawing/writing.

He would offer to go on a walk if you still found yourself activated, doing his best to help you back down mentally. If you didn’t want to leave the house, he’d have you help him make some tea and some baked goods to distract your thoughts.  

Satan would definitely opt to read in your room or the library with you more often than not because he cant trust himself to ensure his room is clean enough, and he tried his best to continue improving his anger-management techniques he learned from some self-help books. 

Asmo

Asmo is a bit confused as to what’s happening with you, and that fuels his own worry. 

Did he do or say something wrong? One minute he was kissing you on his bed, making slow efforts to explore your body...and the next you’re screaming for him to get off of you and to stop. 

Obviously he listens. He wouldn’t ever dream of hurting you. Just the thought of it tears him up inside. 

He tries his best to comfort you- trying to hold your hand, give you a hug, or give you sweet kisses to calm you down, but it ultimately makes things worse. 

It isn’t until you lock yourself in his bathroom that he starts to try to put the pieces together. Once he realizes you’re experiencing reactivation, he will feel terrible for not figuring that out sooner. 

He wont intrude into the bathroom, but will speak to you through the door. He will do his best to present himself in a non-threatening way, reassuring you that he isn’t going to hurt you like others had in the past and apologizing for not recognizing what you needed. 

After he hears your sobbing cease, he will announce he is entering the bathroom. Asmo will be very careful in opening the door slowly, announcing his every action before he does them. 

When he sees the fistfulls of hair stuck to your hands and scratches littering your face and neck, he will have to fight the urge to wrap you into a tight hug- reminding himself how that only worked to make the flashback more real. 

He will ask to touch you before he does. If you give him permission, he will gently stroke the areas where you had hurt yourself, muttering healing spells over them as he does.

If you try to talk to him, he hushes you. He doesn’t want to hear any apologies for the trauma response and he want’s you to rest yourself in every way. 

He will offer to draw you a bath if you’d like, not pushing you to even have him in the room while you relax in the warm water. 

If you want him there, of course he’d be there though. But if not, he won’t give any objection. Instead, he will gather as many soft things onto his bed as he can, and get anything you need to feel grounded. 

Soothing music or sounds? It’s queued up. Sensory toys? He’s already grabbed a bunch from your room. Calming oils/scents? He’s lit 40 candles already, don’t you worry. 

After you get out, he will help you into a nest of blankets and pillows and hold onto your hand while you relax, doing what he can to help. Anything you ask of him, he’s right there to grab it- and he is going to always be reassuring you that he’s not mad or upset with you. 

Beel

He didn’t really expect this to happen when he gathered you in his arms for a tight hug after having a long day at RAD. 

Perhaps it was the hazy gloom in his mind that made him forget to ask permission before touching you- like he usually does. He would ask to touch you out of courtesy before and wanting to respect your personal space, but now realizes he needs to do it every time because of this. 

The minute he wraps his arms around you from behind In the hallway, you yelp loudly and squirm out of his grasp. In the process, you manage to contort your body in such unnatural angles in a desperate attempt to get away from him...so much so that he’s worried you seriously injured yourself. 

But when he reaches out to your shoulder, you yelp once more and back yourself as far away from him as you can. 

Everything about you looked and felt panicked. The labored breathing, wide eyes, relentless tears, and shaking body. 

Beel felt his own nervousness rise at your response. He hadn’t intended to hurt you, and he was worried you thought maybe he was trying to. 

Against his better judgement, he reached out again to try to comfort you. This time though, you jolted backwards, slamming your head against the lockers behind you. 

Beel panicked, fighting the urge to cradle you in his arms while also trying to make sure you were okay. 

Before he could really make any concrete observations though, you began screaming at him to get away from you- catching the attention of other demons in the hall. Beel would also be panicking, desperately trying to look around for one of his brothers to help. 

Likely either Satan or Lucifer would be the ones to calm you down, getting you grounded back to reality by taking you into a less crowded play (Satan would likely bring you to the library, Lucifer would bring you to his office). 

Beel nervously looks on while they practice the grounding techniques with you, taking note of how to help you in the future. 

After you’ve calmed down, he would profusely apologize to you for not realizing he had hurt you and having no idea what to do. Even if you say you forgive him, he still feels very guilty. 

He would be open to talking about your triggers and identifying what helps when you are reactivated. He would also go out of his way to learn more and teach his other brothers should they accidentally trigger you as well. 

Belphie

Well, it is simply said that whoever your MC is with C-PTSD...seeing Belphie in general is probably a pretty huge trigger. 

For the sake of these headcanons though, lets just say that you were able to move past the whole “He killed you in a very gross way and then tried to act like nothing happened” bit that is canon in the game, but that sometimes him cuddling you too tightly triggered you pretty severely.

He would be uncertain how to respond when you suddenly seize up and go completely catatonic when he tries to cuddle up next to you in the attic when you both lay down for a nap. 

And Belphie would probably notice pretty quickly. He’s very observant, especially when it comes to you and Beel. 

He thinks at first he may have squeezed you a little too tight and you were just uncomfortable. He may crack a joke about you needing to relax because a firm pillow just isn’t comfortable, right? 

But he casts all jokes aside when your body begins shaking violently beneath him, and he sees your thousand-yard stare with tears cascading from your eyes like waterfalls. 

At this moment, he panics. He doesn’t know what’s happening, and he’s very scared. At first he may think you’re having a seizure. 

When he brings his hands to your face to try to hold your head still, he becomes even more concerned with the way it sounds like you can’t breathe. 

He would ultimately call on one of his brothers (likely Beel) to help. Once Beel is able to get you to calm down (thanks to what he’s learned from Satan and Lucifer), Belphie would be eerily quiet.

During Beel’s attempts to get you to relax, Belphie overheard him quietly murmur that Belphie wasn’t going to hurt you again, and that would ultimately shatter his heart. 

Sometimes he forgets just how much damage he’s done to your psyche, despite the fact that you had forgiven him. 

He would probably leave- at least for a bit- because he’s worried about re-triggering you. You would either have to seek him out again yourself or get Beel to bring him back to you. 

After a long talk with many apologies on his end, you’re able to make peace with it. Belphie understands he can’t undo what he’s done, but he wants to learn how to make things easier for you. 

He will do what he can to help you when you’re triggered, and get whoever you think is the most helpful at helping you down from reactivation- because he knows it wont be him. 

He would also make an intentional effort to be even more observant of your moods and physical movements for signs that you may already be in an elevated state that he may make worse. 

Overall, he just really doesn’t want you to associate him with the terrible things he’s done anymore...but he doesn’t blame you for it.

————

*gif isn’t mine*

The first time he saw you was the first time he wanted to kiss you.

He would’ve if he knew you. He was walking through downtown Mystic Falls, planning to meet up with his brother and his best friend. He got distracted on his way as he spotted you.

You were having ice cream with a little girl — probably your sister, he assumed. You were smiling and talking with such enthusiasm to the little girl. Your voice was sweet like honey and you looked like an angel in the sunlight. He just had to get to know you.

The next time he saw you was at the town library. You were in the young adult section, already carrying three books. He studied you, memorizing the way you pursed your lips when you read a summary of a book, how you made comments to yourself about a book if you read the first few pages. He decided to introduce himself as you moved to the fantasy books.

“Do you believe in vampires?” He asked.

You jumped at his voice, putting your hand to your racing heart. He flashed you an apologetic smile.

“Sorry, I didn’t mean to startle you.”

“Oh, it’s fine,” you gave him a small smile. “And to answer your question, I do not.”

“Really? Not even with this town’s history?” He raised a brown

You chuckled, “Those are tales men told when they got too drunk.”

“Maybe so,” he nodded. “So, why are you looking at vampire booked then?”

“They’re called fantasy books for a reason,” you smirked.

“True,” he laughed. “I’m Stefan Salvatore.” He held his hand out.

Your eyes flickered to his hand and back up to his face. You slowly slipped your hand into his, a warmth spreading across your chest.

“You’re Italian?” You questioned. “Distantly,” he confirmed.

“I’m Y/n L/n,” you introduced. “I’ve never seen you here before. Are you new?” You pulled your hand away from his slowly, letting your arm fall to your side.

“No, actually. I lived here when I was a kid, but I’m just visiting family and friends right now.”

“Oh, cool.”

“What about you?”

“I just moved here,” you answered. “How are you enjoying Mystic Falls?” He asked.

“It’s nice. A lot smaller than where I lived previously.”

“And where was that?”

“California.”

“Wow. That’s a big change. May I ask why you moved here?”

“For school.”

“Ah, you’re in high school?”

“Oh, god no. I’m out, thankfully,” you chuckled. “I’m in college. I transferred schools to be closer to my dad and sister. I didn’t like my old college much, anyways.”

“Oh, I see,” he nodded. “What about you?” You asked.

“I graduated college about a year ago.”

“Oh, cool. I’m in my last year.”

“How exciting.”

“Yep,” you sighed. “Have you been to see the lights?” Stefan asked.

“No,” you shook your head. “Can I take you sometime?” He suggested.

“I don’t know,” you hummed. “I’m a little on the fence about going to random places with random people.”

Stefan smiled, “I understand. Well, I have to admit, that was my end goal. I saw you from across the room and just knew I had to ask you out.”

“You know that sounds so cliché, right?” You giggled.

“Maybe so, but it’s true.”

You look him up and down, searching his eyes for a few moments. “Alright. I’ll go and see the lights with you.”

“Really?”

“Why not? I have nothing better to do.”

“Great,” he grinned. “I’ll give you my number.”

You nodded and handed him your phone. “Can’t wait.”

————

The second time he wanted to kiss you was on your first date.

“This is beautiful,” you gasped. Your jaw dropped and your eyes were as big as saucers. Stefan took you to the bridge where there was an array of rainbow lights above the dock. There was also a red picnic blanket with a woven basket and champagne.

“Is this here all the time?” You asked. “No. Actually, it’s never here,” he admitted.

“What?” You furrowed your brows. “But you talked about it as if it was.”

He shrugged with a grin. “All part of the plan to get you to go out with me.”

You looked back at the picnic set. “You did all this?”

“Yep.”

Your face lit up and you couldn’t help but squeal. “It’s amazing! No guy has ever done this for me.”

“I’m glad you like it. Are you ready to go down to the dock?” Stefan asked.

You nodded enthusiastically. You two walked done to the dock and dug in. At the end of the date you were sitting against Stefan’s chest, your feet dipped into the cool water.

“This is the best date I’ve ever been on,” you breathed out. You closed your eyes, resting your head on his shoulder.

“I’m glad I can hold that title,” Stefan replied. His hand settled on your arm, his fingertips brushing up your skin. You shivered against him, your heart beginning to race.

He looked down at you, admiring your features. You looked so beautiful in this moment. He knew that no one else would ever look as gorgeous as you. He wanted to kiss you so bad, but it wasn’t the right time.

The next time, he promised himself.

————

The third time he wanted to kiss you was on your second date. It was about two weeks after your first. You were so busy with school, you barely had any time to take time off. But Stefan and you made it work. All thanks to Stefan.

He understood you couldn’t go on a date, so he decided to bring the date to you. He asked you for your schedule and worked some time in between. He showed up on campus while you were in your last class, setting up everything in the park by a willow tree.

“Hello?” You answered your phone. “Hey,” Stefan said.

“Oh, hey! I didn’t expect you to call. Is everything okay?” You asked.

“No, yeah, everything’s fine. Are you done with your classes?”

“Yeah, but I have —”

“I get it, trust me. Can you please come outside real quick? I promise I’ll only take up an hour of your time.”

You wanted to say no so badly, but you couldn’t find a reason to. Yes, you had school, but you’d been working yourself to death lately. You deserved a break.

“I’ll be there in a few.”

Stefan twiddled with the willow tree branches as he waited for you. A smile lit up his face as you approached him. Once again, you were amazed.

“This is so cute!” You gushed. “Glad you like it,” Stefan smiled.

“But don’t you have to work?” You worried. “Nah. I got the day off,” he shook his head.

You smiled, “Just for an hour with me?” “You know it,” he winked.

You giggled and hugged him, kissing his cheek as you pulled away. The tips of his ears went pink and he gave you a flustered smile. You plopped down on the grass, getting a few grapes and popping them into your mouth.

“Really beautiful day.” You say as you look at the light blue sky, the fluffy clouds, and the shining sun.

“Really beautiful,” Stefan hummed. You turned to him, smiling a little as he was staring at you. “How do you get even more romantic?”

He shrugged, “It’s my speciality.”

“I’m really lucky,” you grinned. You moved to sit next to him, putting your head on his shoulder as you rested against the tree trunk. Stefan slipped his hand into yours, interlocking your fingers. You inhaled deeply, a mixture of his cologne and the spring breeze filling your nose. This was paradise.

“Our time is almost up,” Stefan sighed. “No, really?” You sat up and pouted.

“You could stay another thirty minutes,” he suggested.

“I would love to, but I need to finish my project and study for a test this Friday. I’m sorry,” you frowned.

“It’s alright. Don’t worry, I understand.”

You smiled, “I wish I met you long ago. You’re better than literally all of my past boyfriends.”

He smiled, trying not to get cocky. “I’ve made lots of mistakes in my past relationships. But I guess I’m pretty great.”

You giggled, “Can’t stay modest can you?”

He shook his head, “Nope.”

You hummed in reply, your eyes flickering down to his lips. They were a pink and wet from the pink lemonade and looked so soft. You wondered how they would feel against yours.

Before you knew it, you were kissing him. You sighed against his lips, bringing your free hand up to the nape of his neck and playing with his hair. Stefan’s hand supported your back, bringing you as close to him as he could. Your chest met with his and your heart exploded against your ribcage.

Finally, he thought.

Its Always Been You (albedo x gn!reader)

Albedo seems to have his eyes on someone else, but is that really it?

The request: Hello there, good morning! I hope youre doing well :> I was wondering if you have seen the show Friends before, and if you have, I was wondering if you could do a sort of thing like the episode where Ross and Julie are being lovey-dovey and Rachel's tired of it for Albedo Kazuha and Scaramouche? Thanks!

Response: Hii! Of course, I love Friends! But ill be splitting this into a few different posts, one for each character sense I didnt expect for these fics to be so long °^°

Slight angst to comfort, its not said who Albedo is dating but its a girl, implied that the reader has a crush on Albedo, idk how to spell labritory so i just say lab alot, oh yeah and this takes place in Dragonspine, also i got VERY VERY VERY lazy at the end so the ending is rushed >:7 also not beta read

Hi everyone, thank you for the support on my last fanfic. Dont forget that i am taking requests right now, so dont be afraid to request anything. Just no smut >:/ a masterlist is in the making, so yeah :) have a good day/night everybody! youre probably able to tell who my favorite genshin character is by now, also i think my English got alot better dont you guys think so too?? :)

Albedo

Youve really never seen Albedo this social before. Sure he talked time to time, to you at least; you both had to. You worked together. But hes usually only muttered a quick "thank you" or a "hand me ___ please". Even though you both work together, its like youve never heard his voice. The same applies to you though, you dont really talk to him outside of your work so your own voice is pretty much unknown to him.

However, there was always something about him that caught your attention. The way he was so focused on his studies, how he listened carefully every time someone talked— would he do that for you too? Would he put effort into your guys' friendship? The way he would gently pat your shoulder when it was time for the two of you to go home— would he do more than that? Would he want to go further with you?

You'd sometimes be so wrapped up in your own thoughts that you dont even notice Albedo staring right back at you, sometimes a smile on his face or just a blank expression. He knew that you were curious about him. And thats why he finally decided to speak to you a while ago.

"Ive noticed how youve been looking at me lately," He would say im a hushed voice next to you, standing behind you as you sat in your chair in Albedo's small lab. Youve been commissioned to work there a few times— it was like a second workspace. "Is there something that I should know?"

"Oh, yeah." You awkwardly chucked, looking behind yourself to see Albedo staring right back to you. "Uh, ive just been spacing out, thats all."

Albedo hummed in response, his lips twisted in a smirk. "Ive been wanting to know more about you. Its a shame that we arent able to properly cooperate with each other, yet we are forced to work together." You shrugged laughed once again.

"I mean, youve always been so quiet, so..." It then went silent, Albedo was thinking of what to say next.

"Ive only been quiet because you havent spoken." He replied, backing away from the chair. "I think we should speak more. It would be nice to have someone to speak to while I work."

"Ah, yeah. It would be nice."

The conversation awkwardly ended there, as Albedo went back to his table to begin working once more. You, however, wasnt able to finish your assignment. You kept thinking about the recent conversation you both had, which unabled you to get your mind straight. But you did somehow.

But then, as you recalled the past events, you heard the sound of a telephone ringing next to you. You both had a silent yet mutual agreement that, for whatever reason, the lab telephone would stay next to you. You did have the better "formal speaking voice" anyways,

"Y/n L/n, alchemist at the Knights of Favonius— how may I help you?" You spoke, sitting up straight in your seat. Albedo glanced over to you for a brief moment, listening to you speak.

"...The chief alchemist? Um... no, im not— ...oh, Albedo is the one youre looking for? Sure sure, one moment." You looked over to the man sitting near you and pointed at the phone, noticing Albedo already looking at you.

"Sounded like a girl. She was looking for you." You shrugged as Albedo stood up and grabbed the phone from your hands.

"I see. While I take this call, do you think you could finish my project? I have a feeling you'd be able to finish it faster than I can. The notes are on the table." You nodded and made your way over to his table as you heard him begin to speak.

As you finished the project Albedo had started, you recalled your guys' previous discussions over the past few weeks. You remembered a specific conversation you both had not too long ago, something about your love life.

"Hey Albedo," You called, the man in question turning to face you. "I have a question for you."

"Hm? What is it?" You were a bit nervous, it didnt feel like the right time to ask something like this but you really wanted to know.

"...Do you like anybody? Or, do you have a crush on anyone? Are you even single?" You blurted out, staring straight into his eyes. His eyes widened before he began to chuckle at your question.

"Oh my, is there a reason for asking me this?" He asked, laughter still in his voice. "Mmm, I do like someone. We arent... very close, but talking to them makes me feel something... why do you ask?"

It was your turn to widen your eyes, you felt your face heat up at his answer. "Nothing—! I just, you know, youre so quiet so I was curious if you were in a relationship." You pursed your lips and squinted. "Who do you like?"

"...I cant tell you at the moment. Im afraid you might tell them," He smiled and shook his hesd. "Now, if thats all you had to inquire me about then I suppose I'll get back to work."

Thats right, he liked someone. Someone who he isnt very close with— you, perhaps? That would be great if it was you. It would mean that you both had mutual feelings.

However, as you were lost in your daydreams, you heard laughter coming from Albedo. You turned towards him, seeing a slight tint of redness on his face.

"You really didnt have to do that, darling. I didnt— ...Youre too amusing. I'll see you soon, then. ...Alright, I love you. Goodbye."

Your eyes widened in shock at what you heard. But when you were about to ask yourself another question, Albedo continued.

"Hm, I love you more. ...No, I love you more. ...Yes, I do— No, I love you more. ...Fine then, we can both hang up at the same time." He wore a smile on his face througout the call, you noticed. "Alright, three... two... one...— You didnt even hang up. ...Well, youre right. Okay okay I have to get back to work now, I'll talk later. ...Alright, goodbye now darling."

You quickly turned back around, finishing Albedo's project for him as he hung up the phone and walked over to you.

"Have you finished yet?" He asked, placing his hand on the chair. You shook your head, not looking up at him.

"Almost." Is all you said. Albedo hummed, watching you tinker with different mixtures and what not, until you finally got the elixir that Albedo couldnt make.

"Ah, you did it. I knew you could do it." He smiled as you stood up and shrugged.

"It wasnt hard." You said, walking back to your own seat. Albedo watched you leave, usually you would attempt to talk to him more but he noticed that you were... rather quick to end your conversation.

The next few days went on slowly, you were devestated at the fact that he already had a girlfriend it seemed, and that you now had to deal with the burden of hearing how romantic he was with her.

You usually got calls every day now from the same girl— you didint know her but its not like you wanted to either. She sounded very sweet though.

As you got another call, you sighed as you picked up the phone. "Y/n, Knights of Favonius. What do you want?" You sluggishly asked, catching Albedos attention. You werent usually this improper when answering calls, but you seemed as if you were annoyed. Well it would make sense, youve been hearing the same womans voice over the past 6 days over and over again.

"...Mhm, okay. ...Uh-huh, I know who you wanna talk to." You rolled your eyes and pointed at the phone, standing up and the alchemist walked over to you.

"Do you think you can—" Albedo began, but you shook your head.

"Im going out for a while." You quickly cut him off, hurrying out the door. You were tired of hearing how romantic those two were; Albedo and the girl. It felt like he was mocking you at the fact that your crush was in a stable and amazing relationship that you couldnt have.

It was tiring having to find a way to get rid of your crush.

A few minutes later, after just sitting outside and getting some fresh air, you heard Albedos voice.

"Y/n, I expected you to be far from the lab." He said, coming up next to you and sitting down. "Is everything alright? You seem irritated."

"Mhm, everythings okay." You said, looking away from him. "Im fine, dont worry."

"Did I do something to make you feel this way?" He asked, putting a hand on your shoulder. Your eyes widened for a moment before you auickly brushed his hand off.

"Im fine, I said. Just go back and work, ill be there in a second." You frowned, still not facing him. You could hear him sigh as he stood up, beginning to walk back into the lab.

"...Please let me know if I can do anything to help you."

~~~

A few minutes passed and you finally decided to come back into the lab, noticing that Albedo was talking on the phone once again. Thats when you began to think, maybe it was better to just begin working somewhere else. It was bothersome and heartbreaking to hear how lovey-dovey Albedo was with this new girlfriend of his, and it hurt your heart everytime because you still felt something towards him.

So the next day, when you had finally got the green light from Master Jean to move labritories, Albedo was very, very confused.

He came in early in the morning, expecting to be the first one there until he saw you putting your items from your desk into boxes.

"Oh, are we moving areas?" He asked, expecting an answer from you. But instead, you stayed silent, continuing to pack everything up. He walked over to you, standing in front of you now. "Y/n? Are we going to a new lab? I could help pack up my things,"

"No, youre not." You spoke in a bitter tone. "Dont worry about what I do, you should maybe go talk to that girlfriend of yours and tell her how in love you are with her." The alchemist furrowed his eyebrows and crossed his arms.

"Really now, this is what this is about? Youre leaving because you found out that Im dating someone?" He chuckled. "Did you even get permission from Master Jean?"

"Mhm, I did." You finally looked up at him, a glare in your eyes. "But why does it matter to you?"

"Because we work together...? I cant work alone in here."

"Then why dont you invite your girlfriend over? That way she wont have to be a bother to me and you will have some company." You walked past him and to the door, placing down the box in your hands.

"Seriously. Youre moving to a different workstation because Im in a relationship? This is what thats about?" His voice began to raise. "I understand that youre... jealous, perhaps, but that doesnt mean we arent partners anymore."

"I never said that. We can continue to be partners, sure, but I just cant do this anymore. Im tired of it, of hearing her voice ask for you everyday."

"And why is that?"

"Because I like you, Albedo. And its just really hurting me to hear you both talk to each other like that." You sighed, it felt good to finally get it out of your system but you saw Albedo's eyes widen.

"...Huh?" He said, taking a step back. "You like me? I never expected that..."

"...Really now?" You shook your head. "Bye, I'll come by later to drop off some papers."

And with that, you left.

~~~

Even though you both didnt have a "friendship", it was still sad to see your empty desk in the labritory. Albedo barely even talked to his girlfriend in that lovely voice anymore, for some reason he just felt like it wasnt what he truly felt. So thats why he was running down the mountain in Dragonspine, running towards your own lab all the way in Mondstadt.

As he finally reached your lab, he quickly knocked on the door, out of breath. He saw you open the door, a shocked expression on your face.

"Albedo— what are you doing here?" You asked, your eyes wide and your feet shuffling.

"I wanted to apologize... I missed talking to you so much. Its out of character for me, i know, but... even though we never talked a lot, i want to talk to you, i want to become friends with you, and maybe even more. So please, come back to Dragonspine..." He quickly said, gazing straight into your eyes.

"But— your girlfriend?" He shook his head.

"I'll sort that out with her. I like you too, Y/n. We havent really spoken to each other, but I feel... an attraction to you that I cant understand why."

You processed his words for a quick moment before nodding. "Sure, I'll come back with you."

i hate this so much omfg anyways im too lazy to write fanfiction :'0

[pr0dbeomgyu]

"yeonjun drabble fluff stuck in the rain 🥺"

requested by @beomjundiaries

a/n: heyy thank you for requesting! omg i rlly hope you like this one <3

you let out a sigh, tilting your head upwards towards the dark sky as you felt heavy droplets fell onto your face.

out of all other time, it really had to rain when you're walking home from class. great.

not wanting to get drenched in rain, you took quick long strides to the bus stop nearby, sitting on the metal seat beside a boy. you saw him almost getting up, but sat back down seconds after. his action was indeed questionable, but you just dismissed as him shifting in his seat.

getting bored with scrolling through your twitter feed, you tilted your head a bit, trying to steal a glance at the boy beside you.

shit, he's already staring at you.

feeling a bit uncomfortable, you cleared your throat.

"oh my god, im so sorry. im just trying to figure out why do you look so familiar," he rambled, looking very flustered.

"um, we're literally in the same economics class, yeonjun," you fought the urge to roll your eyes.

"you even know my name?" his eyes widened the moment you said his name, his lips forming a little smile.

"of course i know you, you're THE choi yeonjun. everyone in the faculty knows you," you almost scoffed.

"ah, i see,"

you were never really a fan of popular guys, believing that the stereotype of them are cocky and rude.

and that's why you were surprised when he handed you one of his earbuds.

"i figured you forgot yours or something. wanna share?" he offered a smile, his eyes turning into little crescents.

"um yeah, sure," you took it from his hand. come to think of it, he's really beautiful. his face features are very well defined, his plump red lips looks very inviting.

hell, what are you even thinking? you snickered at your own thoughts as you stopped staring before he could catch your eyes.

it was less boring now, peaceful even. with the music on and the sound of rain in the background, you just realised how much your academic life had taken a toll on you. you havent had a proper rest for almost a week actually, except for the quick naps and 3-hour sleep every night.

swinging your legs, you pushed your head backwards to look at the sky again, this time admiring the beauty of it.

"you holding up okay?" yeonjun searched for your eyes, breaking the silence.

you were caught off guard, it had been a while since someone ever asked you how you're doing. sure, you had friends, but you were too busy to catch up with them.

"im surviving, so i guess i am," you forced a smile.

"you know, sometimes you gotta let things happen. not everything is worth worrying for," he said, keeping his tone as soft as possible, as if if he didnt, you would break. maybe you would, but he didnt need to know that.

what ever he said hits too close to home. you had been worrying over your grades too much, never feeling enough even when you had been studying your ass off.

"yeah, well, you're not wrong," your gaze dropped to your shoes.

without you realising, while you were talking, the rain had gradually came to a halt.

looking at your watch, you finally got up, making your way to stand in front of the boy.

"thanks for this," you handed his earbud.

"also for your words earlier,"

"anytime, y/n,"

he pulled the zipper of his bag, placing the earbuds in it, while getting up. being the clumsy boy he is, the bag which was on his lap fell upside down, most of his things dropped onto the floor.

"damn it," he cursed.

you decided to help him, but of course only after making fun of him. your actions came into a halt when you saw a red umbrella.

picking it up, you asked,

"you had an umbrella all along?"

"uhm, yeah," he answered, rubbing the back of his neck.

"why didnt you use it then?" your eye brows knitted, genuinely confused.

does he like hanging out at weird places like the bus stop?

"i mean, other than being stuck in the rain with you, for what other reason will i get to spend time with you?" he finally replied, after giving it a long thought.

"i-" you were speechless, not really knowing what to say.

"exactly," he sighed in defeat, his eyes finding the ground very interesting.

an uncomfortable silence took over, making you feel like suffocating, so you tried wrecking your brain to say something, anything.

"maybe you can ask me on a date like a normal person would do?" you squeaked.

yeonjun's head snapped up towards you, giving you a boyish smile so beautiful you almost melted right there and then.

"really?"

"really,"

"hm okay, let me walk you home then, y/n," the thrill in his voice very obvious.

"okay," you nodded, leading the way.

"oh, so just now you were staring not because my face was familiar, huh?" you teased, playfully shoving his shoulder with yours.

"yeah, fine, but it's not my fault! i've been having a crush on you since first year y/n," he whined.

[alstroemeriadissonance]

I havent seen much of a luke nsfw on ur works so maybe? You can make one? Its completely fine though if not no beggie!!!

Whew, this turned out to be pretty long. I sorta enjoyed writing Luke and Rosa's casual banter here.

WARNING: NSFW. This time though, it's Luke x Rosa

I hope you like this, Luke simp anon :'3

Unfair (NSFW)

"Hey, I managed to teach Peanut a new trick!" Rosa held out her elbow towards Luke's pet mynah, letting it perch on her sleeved arm.

"Catch!" With a small flick of her wrist Rosa threw Peanut a piece of dried fig.

With a flapping of its wings, Peanut the mynah craned its neck to catch its favorite treat.

"Yay!" Rosa clapped, then nudged Luke. "Hey, did you see that?"

"What?" Luke looked up the retro digital clock he was working on. He looked unimpressed. "That's nothing new. Watch," he said as he took a piece of dried fig from its baggie and threw it at Peanut, almost triple the distance compared to Rosa's attempt.

This time, Peanut hopped and took flight to catch the dried fig in its beak. Having caught its treat, the bird retreated to a nook hidden behind a cobwebbed grandfather clock.

"Aw," Rosa pouted. "You're no fun."

Having learned that Luke was on a rare day off from NSB duties that day, Rosa decided to drop by his antiques shop to accompany him while he manned the store.

It was mostly on a whim, and also borne out of her wish to catch up with her childhood friend outside their duties in NXX.

Luke chuckled. "You really should pay more attention to what Peanut can do," he said as he turned his sights back to the dismantled digital clock laid out on his worktable. "Peanut can even count using figs, did you know that?"

"You make it sound like Peanut can do anything as long as there's dried figs involved."

"More or less, yeah." Luke deftly unscrewed a tiny bolt to dislodge the LCD screen from the main body.

"Can Peanut take over the world as long as there's enough dried figs?"

"Pretty much." Luke removed a CR battery, already crusted over with disintegrated metal. "Ugh, this battery's all ruined..." he muttered.

"All hail our Peanut overlord."

A silence fell over the antiques store, with Luke's fiddling of the retro alarm clock the only sound that could be heard, aside from the muffled sounds of South Stellis streets from outside the door.

Rosa's gaze fell on her old friend, who she had not seen for eight years, until fate had decided to put them to work together in the NXX unit.

Planting an elbow on the table and resting her chin on hand, she intently stared at Luke in silence, studying his form as he worked on his pet project.

Since when did he become ripped? Rosa idly wondered, noting Luke's wide shoulders and his well-defined muscles that fit his black shirt perfectly.

His current form was the direct opposite from the boy she last saw before they were separated for eight years--scrawny and even almost around the same height as Rosa.

"I can feel you staring, you know." Luke's eyes were still on the clock, his gloved hands gently prying apart its plastic shell. There was a very faint blush on his cheeks, which was almost invisible underneath the warm orange lighting in the store.

"Whaaat. Is it a crime to stare at my best friend?" Rosa asked, her mouth forming a moue.

"It's a little unsettling, is all," Luke murmured, his gaze still on the dismantled clock in his hands.

"Eh, you weren't like this before." With a huff Rosa reached out to Luke and with a gentle hand, touched his upper arm. "Are you upset at me or something?" She sighed, a bit too thickly. "I dropped by to catch up with you Luke, not just watch you fiddle with a clock."

"Ah, no, I'm sorry," Luke finally set down his tools. "That's not what I meant, really..."

He seemed flustered and unable to look at her in the eye.

Rosa then grinned. "Heh, gotcha," she said as she grabbed at the hem of his black shirt. "I wanna see your abs! Abs inspection time!"

"Wait, what--"

Without warning she lifted Luke's top, exposing his fit torso to her scrutiny. "Hmhm," Rosa hummed in mock approval. "Your skin is still smooth," she said as she ran her hand across the pale skin of his abdomen.

His skin was warm to the touch, almost fever-hot.

"Hey..." Luke said in a quiet voice that was almost an octave lower. "Can you cut that out?"

Rosa blinked. "Huh?" She looked at him in the eye. "Luke, what's wrong?"

"Nothing's wrong," Luke answered in a husky tone, unlike what Rosa had gotten used to hearing from her best friend, which was mostly brimming with cheeriness. "Just that...yeah."

For a split second, Luke's expression could be described as smoldering, before it switched to one of sadness.

"Think you can let go of me?"

"...Why?" Rosa was now genuinely concerned, however her innate stubbornness won out. "No, I'm not going to remove my hand until you explain to me what's going on."

Luke groaned.

"Listen, you," he said, his voice oddly strained. "I'm going to count up to ten, and if you're still like that at ten I'm not going to be responsible for my actions."

"Huh." Rosa bit her lip, standing her ground.

"One."

"Two."

"Three." Luke's breathing hitched imperceptibly.

"Four."

"I'm not going anywhere, Luk--"

"Five," Luke interrupted Rosa, not missing the beat of his count.

"Six."

"Seven. Don't say I didn't warn you," he said, his voice at its most serious that Rosa had heard so far.

"Eight."

"Nine."

Rosa still did not move. "I'll be here and you can't--"

"Ten." Luke took a deep breath. "Help me, god." He then stood up, towering over Rosa.

Luke pulled her into his arms, one of his hands pushing at the small of her back, pressing her body flush against his.

His other hand easily pinned both of her wrists to her upper back, effectively immobilizing her and leaving Rosa at his mercy.

"Luke, what--mmph--"

He stifled her protests with a wet, sloppy kiss. Artlessly he slipped his tongue into Rosa's mouth, exploring her, feeling her tongue writhe against his own.

With a moan, he pressed his erection straining through his pants against Rosa's stomach, as if to prove the point that he had been trying to put across earlier, albeit with much difficulty.

"You're so unfair, Rosa," he hissed as he let go of Rosa's lips.

Rosa was now trembling, but did not speak. Instead, she listened to his pleas.

"You never saw me as a man, did you?" Luke's voice came out pained. "I never had a chance to prove myself to you."

"No matter what I do, I'm still that snot-nosed kid that lived with you and your parents and played pretend brother." His voice was increasingly becoming bitter. "You aren't even aware of what you're doing to me!"

"I--I'm sorry, Luke."

Rosa buried her face in his neck, breathing in his light cologne and the faint scent of sweat on his skin.

This time Luke was taken aback. "What are you doing?"

"Listening," Rosa replied with a calm voice.

Luke let out an exasperated laugh. "I don't think you understand me at all, Rosa," he said, his vice grip on her wrists tightening. "I can rape you if I want to, you know."

"But you won't," Rosa said with a voice full of calm certainty.

"What makes you say that?" Luke gritted his teeth, his exasperation at his best friend's insane stubbornness palpable.

This time Rosa looked at him squarely in the eye. "Because you made me want you too," she said, her voice shaky but determined.

"Ah, damnit."

"Can you let go of my hands now?"

"Fuck. Fine," Luke finally released her wrists, but not before rubbing them gently with his thumb, as if to soothe the marks left by his iron grip. "Sorry about that."

Standing on tiptoe, Rosa reached out to gently guide Luke's face to hers. Her lips gently glide against his, and her tongue softly prods his mouth open to welcome her slow, languorous, deep kiss.

Eyes fluttering closed, Rosa sighed against his lips, not minding Luke's hands that were starting to fumble at her clothes.

Her clothes slowly drop to the floor one by one as the slow and indulgent kiss went on. Her cardigan came off first, followed by her skirt. Then her blouse.

With a gulp, Luke clumsily tried to disengage the hook of her bra.

"Oh, you." Giggling softly, Rosa reached to her back to let her bra fall from her shoulders and to the floor.

Luke gasped at the sight of Rosa, with only her green panties on.

"Are you sure about this?" Luke's throat went dry. "I can still stop, you know."

"That's an awful thing to say to someone who's already naked in front of you." Rosa frowned. "Are you getting cold feet, Sherlock?"

"No."

"Then sit back down," Rosa gently led him back to his chair.

Luke followed Rosa's lead and let her straddle his lap, breathing in the citrusy perfume she wore as she once again wrapped her arms around his shoulders.

With unsteady fingers, Luke traced the outline of one of her breasts. "You sure did grow when I was away." He nuzzled her neck, eliciting a groan from her.

"You did, too," Rosa palmed his chest muscles through his shirt. "You've grown even more handsome," she sighed. Then, "Since when?"

"Since when what?" Luke bent down to suck on one of her nipples.

Rosa bit one of her fingers to stop herself from moaning too loudly. "Ah--when you felt this way about...me..." She found it hard to speak straight, not when Luke was tonguing her nipple in his mouth.

Luke's lips let go of her nipple. "Are you kidding me Watson? I've been this way even before I left eight years ago."

"What."

A sad smile crept across Luke's face. "I guess my Watson is usually brilliant, but dumb in this kind of thing."

"Shut up and kiss me, Sherlock," Rosa ordered, not wanting to ruin the mood.

"Yes'm."

Their tongues meet again, and eventually Luke learned to match Rosa's rhythm as they kiss--his ministrations still sloppy compared to her slightly more experienced movements.

In the heat of the moment Rosa began to grind her wet arousal against Luke's now all-too apparent erection straining and begging to be let out of his cargo pants.

He moaned aloud at the blissful yet tantalizing friction on his nethers. "Do you...do you want to do it?" he asked, still finding a shred of sanity in the lust-addled haze.

"Why are you asking these questions when it's already too late?" Rosa whimpered, straining to relieve the tension growing in her inner thighs by rubbing against Luke's hardness.

"I don't have rubber."

"That's fine." Rosa quickly slides her panties off.

"Okay then," Luke has finally decided drop all pretense of control and just go all in. He shimmied out of his pants and let them fall to his ankles, freeing his cock that was straining out all these time begging for sweet relief.

Straddling Luke's lap again, Rosa slowly guides his shaft to her entrance, lubricating his tip with her own wetness.

"Hey, Luke. Are you ready?"

"...Just do it."

Biting her lip, Rosa slowly impales herself on her best friend's cock, with gentle bounces, until he was fully hilted inside her.

"Shit," Luke's hands firmly hold Rosa's hips as he started to thrust underneath her. "Ah, shit. I can't believe we're doing this."

"Shut up and let go," Rosa ordered, throwing her arms around his neck, pulling him into yet another kiss. This time however it was more of licking each other's lips, cheeks, and tonguing the other's ear...

"Hey, you once asked me how strong I got, remember?" Luke's voice come out husky, concentrating in thrusting in and out of her wetness.

"Y-yeah."

He managed a lusty grin. "Let me show you. Hang on tight to my shoulders."

Without slipping out of Rosa's sex Luke stood up from the chair, supporting Rosa by holding her upper thighs against his hips.

"Luke, what--" Slightly panicking, Rosa tightened her hold on Luke's shoulders, afraid that she may fall to the floor.

"Shh. I got you." He lifted her by her buttocks, his grip firm and sure. "Wrap your legs around my waist."

His posture finally stabilized, Luke started thrusting into her while standing up, his arms and hips supporting her entire weight. "Well?"

"What the hell Luke?"

Rosa felt incredible. She learned that being fucked with her feet dangling midair was such an immense turn-on for her.

She wanted to reach down and rub her clit now so she can feel sweet release while being literally fucked off her feet, but she was too afraid to let go of his shoulders and risk falling...

Somehow Luke managed to read into her mind. Or rather saw how she struggled to let go of one of his shoulders. "Go ahead," he gasped between thrusts. "I got you. Like always." He adjusted his hold on her so that one hand supported her lower back.

Trusting him not to let her fall, Rosa lets one of her arms let go of his shoulders to rub at her clit. It only took her a few moments before she shuddered, her sex squeezing tightly at the cock inside her in the throes of her orgasm.

"Oh shit," Luke gasped as he lost control, shooting his come deep inside her.

===

They decided to spend the rest of their afterglow taking a bath together like they used to, when they were still kids.

Luke was trying to shampoo Rosa's hair--trying, because they spent most of their time in the shower playing by making shapes using the shampoo foam.

Rosa smooshed a pile of soap suds right into Luke's face. "Haha, gotcha."

With a warm smile, Luke opened his arms to Rosa. "C'mere, you."

Rosa complied, squeezing herself in that tight space where only her and her best friend existed.

"You don't have to worry about this getting out. My lips, they are tightly sealed," Luke whispered into her wet hair.

"...Thanks."

"I know just how vindictive Vyn can be, so...yeah."

Rosa's head snapped up, looking at Luke in quiet shock.

"...You knew?"

Luke cocked an eyebrow. "Eh? We all know. We just don't talk about it when you're around."

"What?"

Luke shrugged. "I mean, I can't not find out. I know how you spend a lot of nights at Vyn's place, at least. It's not hard to figure out what's been happening."

Then he continued, "Marius I think knows already, and he seems cool with it.

"Artem though, I think he's going to shoot Vyn dead one day when you're not looking."

Rosa sighed. "And you?"

"Me?"

"What do you think?"

The smile that Luke gave her was so heart-wrenchingly sad Rosa immediately regretted she even asked.

"If you're happy, I'm happy." He then tightened his embrace, placing his chin on Rosa's head. "But if Vyn hurts you, or makes you cry, even once...

"Let's just say, he wouldn't be able to even use his fingers. Or hands. Or even his feet."

𝐖𝐀𝐑𝐍𝐈𝐍𝐆𝐒: probs a lil rushed im sorry!!, modern college au

𝐍𝐎𝐓𝐄𝐒: oneshot for @dourpeep !! congrats! i havent been feeling the best lately so if u want me to rewrite this i 100% can!

They say slow and steady wins the race.

Actually, no. Xiao was not a literature major, in fact, he had no major. With those beautiful letters that spelled out ‘Undecided’, it was safe to say that the male was not adverse in the art of writing.

In fact, it was quite amazing how he even got into a college without a major. Xiao had to partially thank Mr. Zhongli for that, for the counselor’s recommendation was what catapulted him here.

Here, to be standing in front of you— [Surname] [Name].

He didn’t know you that well, only just meeting you once the professor had assigned for the two of you to work together. Apparently, you were a STEM major, something that Xiao actually had interest in even before meeting you.

Of course, he was not expecting you to like working with him. In fact, most people that knew the golden-eyed male were scared of him— which was partly thanks to his intimidating aura that he unconsciously spewed.

Yet that all went out the window once you said hi to him with the biggest smile ever, unfazed by the cold gaze from his eyes and the way he dismissed your presence.

‘Weird’, was all Xiao could think, oblivious to how that’d change in the near future.

—

The majorless-student never expected to grow fond of you.

No— he never expected to grow fond of anyone. Too used to people coming and leaving like a tsunami’s last breath, Xiao had gotten used to losing far more than loving.

Love. It was such a broad term for the most detailed thing. Love was a force that’d bring the strongest to their knees all because of the way their heart would beat irregularly.

In conclusion: love was someone’s downfall. Xiao could never wrap his head around the urge of dedicating your entire life to a single person all because you loved them.

What happens if you fall out of love? What if your partner is unfaithful? There were so many ways things could go absolutely wrong, and only one way for things to go right.

Maybe it was because of this hesitation that prompted him to contradict his opinions, falling headfirst into this sea of new emotions all because of you— his groupmate.

In this case, Xiao was the hurricane. The barrage of opinions and scarred hearts all because of who he was in the past; finding paradise in you, the eye of the storm. The calm before the wreckage he knew by the name ‘heartbreak’.

Love is a mistake, loving you is a mistake.

Yet he found peace in the eye, ready to take on whatever debris would dare to hit him.

—

It started with subtle glances and late night talks.

That was how Xiao would describe these moments with you. Suddenly, he found himself ruining his sleep schedule just because you were pulling an all-nighter. Even long after your assigned project was due and turned in, he still had your number at the top of his contact list.

‘A curse,’ The male would think, eating his cereal angrily. His eye circles had darkened tremendously ever since you began to stay up late. Damn you for ruining his sleep schedu—

He buried his head in his hands, bits of cereal still in his mouth.

“I didn’t even have to stay awake with them.”

—

Xiao was not in love.

No, he would never be.

“Oh, Xiao! You came early!” Settling down beside him, the male spared a side-eye to the person who decided sitting in the very corner of the lecture room was a good idea.

It was you.

“Yeah,” He responded. Suddenly, he did not know what to do. Where does he place his hands? How do you sit, again? Why is this seat so uncomfortable? It was fine just moments ago!

Xiao was not in love, absolutely not.

He gazed at you with his peripherals, and abruptly, his heart pierced his ribs.

Weird.

—

When did these feelings arise?

These feelings of wanting to wait for you outside your classes even though he knew he had no time. These feelings of cramming studies with you about subjects he didn’t even take…

Strange. Everything was strange. The world was more vibrant, tinted pink even though he knew the sky was supposed to be an azure blue.

Maybe it was because of the way you tapped his shoulder when passing an exam down the lecture hall, or the way you trusted him enough to watch over your belongings while you went to the bathroom.

Weird. This feeling was weird, it was like his stomach bubbled and exploded yet it didn’t hurt a single bit.

Xiao couldn’t tell if he liked this feeling or not.

Maybe he should apply to that same club that you go to—… wait, that’s weird.

—

“Xiao?” Venti popped out of the doorway, glancing at the male who was already eating and getting dressed at six o’clock in the morning.

“What?”

“Doesn’t your first class start at eleven?”

“Yeah.”

“Why are you going out now?” The music major rubbed his eyes, still in a half-awake half-sleep state.

“I’m going to go pick someone up.”

Venti grinned, yawning dramatically as he swooned for Xiao’s nonexistent love life.

“And who may this person be?” Now fully awake, Venti seemed to already know the answer based on the look he had.

“. . .” Xiao walked out the doorway, shutting the door with a click!

“Ah, youth,” Venti closed his eyes in deep thought, contemplating over whether to tell Zhongli about Xiao’s character growth.

—

His heart hurts.

No— was hurt the right word? It tensed, that’s for sure. It went quicker and slower, louder and quieter.

Strange, you were strange. The way you made him feel was strange. What was this? Maybe you truly had cursed him after all.

“Oh, Xiao! You came!” Flinching, the male glanced at you. The only thing separating your faces was the window of his car and the ricochet of his heart. ‘Of course— of course I came,'' he thought.

Letting you into the passenger seat, Xiao immediately turned up the heater, ignoring the fact that he already had a jacket on.

His heart hurt.

Glancing over at you briefly, his piercing gaze softened for the briefest of moments, the smallest of seconds.

Slow and steady wins the race.

Xiao was not a literature major, but he could agree that that saying was right.
