Summary: When Tokoyami overhears Ichijiku singing to the stars, he decides to take a chance asking her a serious question.

Ichijiku (Tigress)

The full moon stretches toward the sky as my friends laugh with each other on the beachfront. I grin at their joy and continue my stroll by the ocean waves as sand squishes between my toes.

Stars wink down at me as I attempt to pick out their stories, sifting through the twinkling lights with keen eyes until they paint a picture of star-crossed lovers and tyrannical kings. My feet wander of their own accord and I shove my hands in my pockets as the autumn wind raises goosebumps on my skin. Soon, winter will dance across our toes with snowflakes and I’ll go from a stroll on the beach to a pair of ice skates on a frozen pond. 

A smile tickles my lips as anticipation for snow and Christmas floods me down to the tips of my toes. Christmas makes me think of snow makes me think of falling flakes makes me think of a song from my favorite Disney movie.

I pause in my journey and look around to make sure I’m alone. I sit in the sand and when the coast seems clear my eyes close as sweet notes serenade the seagulls and sea life.

“Silent as the snowflake in the night,

holy is the spirit of this night.

All the world is calm and peaceful,

all the world is bright and joyful…” 

I hum the rest as I rest my chin on my knees and watch the shimmering bioluminescence of fascinating creatures at sea splash into the ocean, wave after wave. Lapping water harmonizes with the refrain as the song ends and I’m left with the soothing background noise of nature.

Daydreams of my feathered classmate dancing with me in moonlight skirts my mind until his voice caresses my ear, no longer a fantasy. 

“You sound like a songbird.” His deep voice whispers.

I gasp and jolt to my feet, eyes snapping open as a blush paints my cheeks. 

“T-Tokoyami! H-Hi! Sorry. Hi. I didn’t hear you.” I sputter, before his comment registers and my cheeks turn a shade darker. “Oh, um, thank you? It scares me to sing in front of strangers.” 

“My apologies, Songbird,” He grins and gives a bow of his head as Dark Shadow squawks and swoops over to nuzzle me. “Your sweet singing helped me soothe Dark Shadow.”

“Oh! That’s right,” I stroke the foggy mass of Dark Shadow’s face. “You get rowdy at night, don’t you, my cloudy companion?”

A sad chirp whistles past Dark Shadow’s nostrils but he tips his head into my palm. I rub my thumb over the cool, momentarily tangible clouds of his cheek.

“You…” Tokoyami begins, but when I meet his eyes he looks away and shuffles the sand with his feet. A moment passes before he looks back up at me. “Would you like to go to the apple orchard with me this weekend?”

I stop petting Dark Shadow as it’s my turn to stare at my feet.

“Y-Yeah. I would like that.” I answer before I can chicken out. Maybe I should clarify what he means by that. What if he just wants to go because we’re friends? “Are we going as friends?” 

“If you’d like,” Tokoyami’s feathers bristle against his head for a moment. He takes a shaky step toward me. “However, I was hoping you’d go with me as my date?” 

“Really?” My head whips up, eyes bright with enthusiasm. I swallow and play with my hair to calm down and not look so desperate. “I mean, I’d like that. I was hoping that’s what you meant.” 

Awkward silence simmers between us until Dark Shadow drapes around us, pulling me into a solid, warm chest. I look up and Tokoyami nuzzles his cheek against mine.

“Will you sing for us again?” He asks.

“Of course.”

After a few refrains of my favorite lullabies, I yawn and rest my head against his chest. But my eyes fly open when he sweeps me into his arms. 

“Ah!” My arms squeeze his neck as I regain my bearings. “What are you doing?”

“Carrying you back to your house, if you’ll allow me.” He coos.

“I don’t mind, but I know I’m heavy. Are you sure?” I barely breathe, as if any exhale of oxygen will crush him beneath me.

“I’m sure.”

He sets me down when we reach the door, for which I’m grateful. If Naomi caught me walking in at this hour, she’d ground me for life.

“Thank you for this evening.” I whisper, head whipping around every few moments as I listen for my live-in nanny. “I hope you’ll join me again sometime?”

“I’d be delighted.” He nods.

And the stars giggle above as I stand on my tip-toes and kiss his cheek.

I hope I'm not the only one who thinks that Mr Compress' character is so badly written like:

-he has such a cool and (let's be real) OP quirk that can literally oneshot the enemy, he could've been MUCH more destructive, for example he could've put the marbles inside people's mouth and make them explode lol pretty gory

-he's the great-great-grandson of one of the most known villains in the history...and? Why did he ACTUALLY became a villain? I don't think that just "it's our duty to fight for justice, it's in our blood" and shit like that is enough for him to become a Super Villain, something really bad must happened to his family. Also he was canonically poor af, it's written in his Shifuku character sheet (that is incredibly short in my opinion)😭I NEED TO KNOW WHY???

Maybe the heroes confiscated everything he and his family had because they were descendents of Harima idk

- we all know his face reveal, sexy hot man yeah ok but why tf couldn't he just compress himself like he did in season 3 instead of destroying his body.

Maybe because he can't use his quirk at 100% because of the missing arm? idk but even though that scene was IMMACULATE I think it wasn't necessary if it was possible for him to compress his whole body

- "he'll be back" ...yeah and what exactly he's gonna do, the situation rn is critic, I don't think he will survive if he sticks to his standard way of fighting, I'm pretty sure he will die...

-the fucking boots

sorry

ngl im not even a superman fan. i just REALLY like clark kent,,, (thank you, Smallville, for that.)

[chiptrillino-art]

(ID in ALT Text) Happy very, very late Mother's Day!

I am not saying that zuko is sokkas substitute for kya. or they look in any way similar! The whole concept here is that something was happening at the moment, be it how they were laying in bed, how the hair pooled over the pillow, or how sokka was able to hold onto it. It just brought sokka back. It triggered a memory, and suddenly he relived a brief memory. Making him suddenly miss his mother again. hope you enjoy!

[novaneondream]

Anyways what kind of music do you think Eri listens to

If chaos was personified I think it would be Damian. Tiny child filled with rage and equipped with far too many weapons.
