PROMPT 13: "Where are you going?"
words: 2,067 (longest one yet 😅)
⋆。°✩
"OH PLEASE Y/N YOU WERE ASKING FOR IT!"
I was currently in an argument with my partner of 12 years 7 of which we had been married, we had gotten together shortly after one direction got together and then married in the january of 2014 though we had been friends long before that as we ran in the same friendship circle in school and I was always mucking about and wreaking havoc with oli and Louis looking for trouble. So as you probably guessed when we argued it certainly wasn't the greatest.
We had just come back from a nice meal which was unfortunately cut short as I had been touched up by one of the older waiters. And I had screamed so Louis dragged me out of there while giving the waitress sultry eyes which as you can imagine didn't end very well in my current state.
"ASKING FOR IT? FUCKING ASKING FOR IT? JUST LIKE I ASKED FOR IT AT 11 YEARS OLD? NOPE? DIDNT THINK SO. AND PLEASE LIKE YOU WOULD'VE NOTICED IF I DIDN'T SCREAM STOP BECAUSE YOU WERE TOO BUSY EYE FUCKING THAT WAITRESS."
"EYE FUCKIN- WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU ON HAVE YOU TAKEN DRUGS? THE ONLY PERSON I WAS EYE FUCKING ALL NIGHT WAS YOU PLEASE GET A GRIP Y/N/N"
"DONT! DON'T FUCKING Y/N/N ME CERTAINLY NOT AFTER TONIGHT."
"OH COME OFF IT Y/N. I WAS MERELY GIVING HER SORRY FOR NOT PAYING EYES. IT WAS A HARMLESS THING. BESIDES I'M NOT SURPRISED HE TOUCHED YOU LOOKING LIKE THAT."
"LOOKING LIKE THA- DON'T YOU FUCKING DARE YOU KNOW HOW DEEP THAT SHIT CUTS ME LOUIS. YOU'VE KNOWN ME ALL YOUR LIFE. I just thought you'd never be the one to say it to me."
Is one of the last things I say before walking away from him and grabbing my coat where it lay on the bannister and walked towards the front door.
"WHERE YOU FUCKING GOING NOW"
"OUT! I CAN'T BE AROUND YOU DONT CALL TEXT OR FIND ME I'LL BE FINE BYE"
"YOU CANT JUST WALK OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF AN ARGUMENT, YOU KNOW THATS NOT HOW WE SOLVE THINGS"
"THINK YOU'LL FIND I JUST DID"
"STOP WALKING AWAY COME BACK WE CAN FIX THIS"
"GOODBYE LOUIS"
⋆。°✩
I walked and I walked in the rain sobbing until my feet stopped at Lottie's house.
I rang the doorbell waiting for a reply.
and soon enough lottie came strolling to the door with doris on her hip I knew that all the siblings were at hers tonight she had also taken freddie louis' and my son Louis and I weren't there tonight though as it was our anniversary so they completely understood when we said we couldn't be there in the group chat conversation earlier.
"Y/n? what are you doing here? wheres Louis? you're supposed to be out together tonight? you're all wet. Come inside your gonna catch a cold for gods sake" I step inside shaking off everything and wiping my feet whilst replying to her
"Yes it's me. In the flesh and blood. Louis isn't here right now. I'm so scared so scared lots he said things. things I never would have thought to come out his mouth. Where's fred?"
"In the living room settling down with daisy. Come in he's been asking about you." I step foot into the living room and Freddie catches eyes with me and runs up to hug me "hello baby, You okay?" I say dropping down to his height which he nods then asks the inevitable question "why are you crying mummy?" which makes me sob but I hold my tears back for his sake
then Pheobe starts to speak "Freddie come here" he looks at me for permission to go which I nod "You know how auntie lottie was crying earlier and she said that that's what people do sometimes. And that it's healthy and sometimes we need a good cry" to which he nods "well thats what mummy's been doing she'll be okay fred she will"
"come on Y/n lets go into the kitchen, I'll make you a cuppa" Lottie speaks out and I follow. she shuts the door for some privacy because she knew what I was about to say wouldn't be light or good for the children to hear.
"so whats going on? what happened? start from the beginning" "so it started out lovely it really did he took my arm to help me to the car was kissing my hand the whole way there you know just a generally good time. Starters were lovely. But then it got to the mains and the waiter that bought my main out touched me lingering his hand on my arm and I just screamed because I thought it was a moth or something you know. Then I started having a go at the waiter, because like rightfully so there's no need for you to touch me. And then about half way through Louis asks what was going on because he had been in conversation with the waitress for the most part and I just said he fucking touched me. Like proper screamed it lots. and he just said oh. FUCKING OH. and went back to eye fucking and flirty conversation with the waitress and I just grabbed louis while we were leaving left a £20 note on the table and left. and then when we got home he said that I was asking for it and he fucking knows what I went through when I was still speaking to my mum and dad how they would always say I was asking for it when I wore my skirt a bit higher than usual to school. that shit cut me deep lots, so fucking deep.
"mmh, I can imagine he's such a dick honestly I don't even know why he does this some times, he's got a great relationship with a great girl and then he does shit like this to fuck it up. Honestly I'm gonna knock some sense into him when I next see him because how dare he treat you like that, My own sister"
"he's your bio brother, im nothing to you lottie" I say replying back to her.
"bio shmio, come off it y/n you know your my sister I've known you my whole life."
"Oh lottie what would I do without you, your so kind to me"
"come on your the mother of my first nephew, what's not to love he's a great little boy. who has a spectacular mother, You've done so well with Freddie, Y/n. I'm so proud of you and I know mum would be too"
"Oh come on, she's not my mum. What about you, I saw the way you spoke to me at the door acting like a mum already and they're not even here yet"
"SHH, nobody knows yet, not even P&D haven't worked up the courage to tell them, hell even dad for goodness sake. I can't even bare to think what Louis would say."
"We all want another baby to spoil, how is Lewis anyway? Is he here?" "no, no he's gone up to visit his family for the weekend. He's telling them tonight, will you help me tell Phoebs and dais? think I could use your support."
"course I can, come on lottie" I say wrapping an arm around her shoulder before walking back into the living room.
⋆。°✩
"What was so important that we had to put the kids to bed"
"well, Lottie has some important news she wants to share with you both. Go on Lots tell em"
"I'm having a baby" Both of the twins squeal and jump into lottie and my arms and pull us both down to the floor
"okay okay girls, enough you gonna hurt the poor little mite before they're even here yet" I say
"shit sorry." they both say
"what happened with Lou then? why did you come over?"
and so I explain the whole thing again to the twins this time.
"shit y/n I'm so sorry, I'm actually gonna kick him right in the balls when I see him he shouldn't have done that to you"
"No you won't he's your brother"
"you're right I won't I'll just give him a right old dirty look" she says making the 'dirty look' face which makes us all burst out in laughter.
"come on lets stick a film on. and have a girls night" I say once we had all stopped laughing
"yeah lets watch magic mike and forget about all our boyfriends" Pheobe said
"husband for me" I interrupted
"boyfriends and husband" Pheobe said correcting her mistake
and we all agreed and stuck the movie on.
⋆。°✩
After the movie had finished it was just me up so I switched the T.V off and woke up the girls sending them to their respectful bedrooms for the night making my way upstairs myself to Louis' and my bedroom for where we stayed when we were at lottie's before checking on freddie to make sure he was okay.
I found some old pyjamas of Louis' and I stuck them on and started sobbing again because even though it was a dick move he had pulled tonight I knew he didn't mean it it was just a spur of the moment thing
I turned on my phone before going to bed checking to see if I had any messages which I did
Louis T: come home I miss you I'm sorry I didn't mean it I was so shocked I shouldn't of said it it won't happen again
oli: I heard what happened hope your okay, call him soon? he's been in tears really regretful of what he said. Though I understand if you don't. You can see and hear the guilt though y/n/n
Louis T: Babe you've been gone hours please come back soon I miss you. Hope that argument didn't affect us. Don't want to divorce you but will if it means you're happier. Don't want Fred to go through the same thing I did.
and the last message made me cry so I had to call him
RINNG RIIING RINNG RINNG
"Hello?" Louis' voice rang out through the phone
"hey"
"Y/n? Are you okay? Where are you? I'll come to you?"
"No Louis stay there at Oli's I'll come see you in the morning. Bring Fred too"
"Do you want a divorce?"
"do I want a div- No course I fucking don't. Who put that idealogy through your dumb little brain lou?"
"The waitress"
"that fucking slag, knew she was up to no good"
"yeah well it's over now isn't it. Where are you?"
"Lots, saw fred as I was coming in he asked why I was crying. Bless him, phoebe gave him the explanation we've been trying to give him for months. One word from his aunts and he obeys them, what are we doing wrong?"
"we're his parents he's trained to not listen to us"
"yeah I know I'm not pissed at your sisters just find it funny, they want to kick your arse by the way. they're mad at you"
"not surprised by the way I treated you told ol what happened he fully on slapped me"
"serves you right"
"I suppose so"
"Yeah oh by the way, Lotties pregnant we're gonna be an auntie and uncle."
"What? How long have you known"
"2 months I was the one that gave her my pregnancy tests because she knew about how I'm off the contraceptive pill and what not so she knew I had some spare made me keep a promise though to keep quiet. She told phoebs and dais tonight though thought it only fair that I tell you but I think she wants to tell you on her own so keep quiet yea?"
"will do my lips are sealed"
after that it went silent for a minute, before I broke the silence
"Lou?"
"hmm?"
"do you maybe want another" I said fiddling with the hem of my-louis'- t-shirt that I was wearing
"another? thought we were already trying though darling?"
"yeah but that was lazy trying I mean like proper try, Like we did with fred"
"yeah, okay babe I think another kid would do us a world of good. Come home?"
"yeah. Come pick me up?"
"be there in five babe"
⋆。°✩
end
a/n after that my fingers hurt, so sorry abt the mentions of S/a I dont know what happened.

((i would ping people on this but it's not really a starter or anything, just kind of an acknowledgement of a background happening haha.))
Tumblr media
From early morning the grounded cruise ship that housed Sinostra smelled of food being cooked--Romeo's favored way to celebrate his birthday was, quite simply, to feed those around him, and so his 'parties' often went as such, taking close friends for lavish meals of which he ate little to no food himself but happily watched as people who were far less obsessed with maintaining their bodily images got to enjoy edible luxuries. Probation prevented this this year--but the Institute's branches and associates spanned the world and all fields, so naturally there were some who were in the field of gastronomy even if they no longer worked directly for the Institute. And Romeo happily paid to have meals catered--this year, being Sinostra's very own vice captain Fico, a buffet for the entire house and the casino's staff(and he would even turn a blind eye if a few big-spending patrons happened to sneak over,) available all day, from professional cooks. Breakfast, lunch, dinner, dessert, a set but varied menu cycling throughout the day as was appropriate.
Tumblr media
Unfortunately his staff would still have to work, but so did he--work didn't stop on his birthday after all--but he did take more breaks than usual to show Fico's more pleasant side to everyone. It wasn't quite the atmosphere of an upscale party that he would have truly desired but it was far more than the usual. He was still a ghoul and most still treated him with a level of anxiety. But as it was clear he was in a good mood today the tension diffused vastly. Even Taiga's underlings gradually realized they were not being shot at or chased away from the food and alcohol, a truce for the day that Romeo would confirm even if he hadn't bothered to ask Taiga's permission. The casino felt more lively, or maybe that was just his perception as he walked the floor more than usual.
The VIP room, now mostly back in order after the incident a while back (save for Romeo's chair,) had become piled with gifts from his admirers and underlings who wanted to do something for him or at least felt obligated to. Well, maybe piled was a strong word but he had more than a few gifts!
From the morning, his friends would receive a message along these lines:
Buongiorno a te! It's Fico's birthday!
You're invited to come by Sinostra today! I have paid chefs working all day to provide food--including meals made to order if the buffet doesn't suit you! Whether you'd like breakfast, lunch, dinner, dessert, or more than one, drop by at your leisure today! It isn't as stylish as I would like due to limitations from our probation, but I hope you'll enjoy a luxurious meal today.
It's free, obviously. And I'm not asking you to bring me a gift. My gift is that you enjoy the food, the drinks, and the more relaxed atmosphere for me. You know I'm on a diet and can't eat that stuff, and I have to work. I'll be happy to see you if you want to find me, though! (And if you do want to drop off a gift you can hand it off and those guys should know what to do with it.)
Of course I understand how busy most of you are, so if you want something but can't make it you can just message back and I'll have someone run a delivery for you.
The buffet offerings and the cutoff times and beverage options(including plenty of wine) are attached, along with a reminder that food can be made to order as well.
Lyca receives a voice recording as well, as Romeo knows he has some trouble with reading and may find the message easier to understand if he can just listen to it.
Towa receives a separate message acknowledging that he doesn't eat meat but if he wants to try the vegetarian/vegan parts of the menu(or would like some of the raw food being used in preparation) he's welcome to drop by for some as well. A menu of what's available for him is also included.
For Haru and Kaito an additional note is attached that he can, of course, take some of the food back for later, and he'd have anything left over at the end of the night sent over to Jabberwock in the morning although he couldn't guarantee there would be much.
For Rui, Haru, and Towa there's an additional note about food waste being kept separate if they could use it later for compost or for feeding the beasts in Jabberwock after the end of the day.
And, of course, Taiga received a separate message.
In case you forgot, it's my birthday today.
I'm not angry if you forgot. And I'm not asking for a gift or anything.
There's going to be food all day, so you should have some! I'll be working later on, but I might walk around the casino and the 'party' area for a while first.
If Taiga is watching the texts as they come in, Romeo types for a bit, then stops without sending it. There's a pause, as if contemplating, a little more typing, and then,
Actually, I'd like it if you would wish me a happy birthday. Over text is fine.
Who has to ask to be told such a thing. He didn't have to ask, did he? Taiga would have figured it out even if it took all day. It felt a little embarrassing. But it was equally embarrassing to feel timid about it.
Well, no matter. The students were waking up and even outside his room he could hear some of them talking about the smell of breakfast. He'd sent messages to the non-captain students in Sinostra and the casino staff too--they were welcome to the food and to the festivities, and for those applicable there were some shift changes that would hopefully spread the work out a little bit more today. He was paying them the same, although they'd be working less, and they were free to eat and drink while they worked as long as it got done and there was no unnecessary rowdiness. And as long as cleanup happened appropriately of course.
(The message sent had been posted to WickHive by one of the students as well. Other houses' members were wondering if they could sneak in for free food and get away with it. Many didn't trust that Romeo would be offering free anything to anybody. One or two thought it was kind of weird that he would probably be watching them eat.)
Today would be celebratory. Tomorrow. . .he might be going to Frostheim. . . .

"You idiot!" I exclaimed, "Wake up!"
"What the hell?" Jin screamed waking up from his desk.
"Did you study the file? I swear to god if you didn't, I will make sure to call a butcherer to cut your limbs and sell you on the black market. We have to submit our report today. If we don't you know we're gonna get fir.. mmmmmpphhh." I was stopped by Jin shoving a piece of apple in my mouth.
"I know, I know. And I finished it. Here you go." He waves a blue coloured file in the air.
"Hmph. Give it here." I snatch the file from his hand while chewing the piece of apple.
I take another piece of apple from his container and started to read through his report scanning for mistakes. I graduated from Seoul University of Archaeology two years ago. I was working in an archaeological expedition unit sent from Korea, in Egypt. I've worked in Egypt for about 4 months with Jin, Namjoon, and Hoseok. I recently found a pyramid on satellite scans and asked for permission to excavate it since it looked very interesting from the satellite pictures. But my permission was denied since my team already had a project report pending. Hence, I was in a hurry to wrap it up and start my study on the newly found pyramid.
"Finally we can start the new project," I said sighing, "I can't wait!"
"Why are you so excited about this small pyramid? It doesn't even look that great." Jin asked.
"Well, usually pyramids are huge in size," I said emphasizing huge, "but this one is very small compared to the others. It looks very frail and on the edge of falling apart. Like it wasn't given any effort at all while being built. But usually, all the royal families built pyramids strong and big. But this one... it's a mystery."
"Interesting... hmmm," Jin sighed, "Well! Let's go get Namjoon and Hoseok. Let's submit this report and get working on the new pyramid."
"Yes!" I said in excitement.
●○●○●○●○●○●○●○●○
"Hmm.. so you want an excavation team for the newly found tomb?" Our senior archaeologist questioned us. 
"Yes, sir," Jin answered.
"I like your reasoning for exploring the pyramid," he smiled, "An excavation team will be arranged in two days. Get ready. Since it's located a little far from here, you will camp near the pyramid. Good luck Miss Yuna."
"Thank you, sir," I smiled at him.
●○●○●○●○●○●○●○●○
"MIN YUNA," Yoongi screamed through the phone, "YOU DID NOT CALL ME FOR 5 DAYS. DO YOU REALIZE HOW LONG THAT IS? 5 DAYS! I WAS WORRIED SICK. I CALLED YOU AND YOU DID NOT PICK UP-"
"I KNOW!" I screamed back to stop him but softened up, "I know... I know I didn't call you. I was busy. I'm sorry... I really am."
Yoongi sighs, "It's okay. But at least text me that you're fine."
"Yes," I breathed out, "I will."
"You better-" Yoongi began but,
"Anyway," I interrupted, "I am going away from the centre to a new location for a few days. We discovered a new pyramid and we need to excavate it. Since it's far from here, we'll be camping there. And... Unfortunately, there's no network available there. I won't be able to call you for a few days."
"Is there no way that you can stay back?" Yoongi asked.
"No! Brother, it's my life's work collecting information about ancient things. I can't stay back!" I exclaimed.
"I know," Yoongi sighed, "I just... I'm worried for my sister who's going to stay in the middle of nowhere to study a dead body."
"Correction," I said, "An ancient Egyptian mummy which holds the answer to several of our questions."
"Okay okay. Just be safe ok? Text me when you're leaving." Yoongi said with affection.
"Yes, brother. I love you," I said, "Mwuah!"
"Haha," Yoongi chuckled, "Love you too."
I cut the call and flopped back into my bed.
"This is going to be a long week."

[[quality time!
what is your muse’s ideal date night? 
{Honestly? Vash doesn't really have an 'ideal' date night in mind! He thinks that probably it would depend on the person, but more than that, I'm not sure he's ever given it any thought. He'd kind of told himself he was never going to let himself fall in love with anyone - or let anyone fall in love with him - and he would genuinely blank if you asked him.}
{Luckily, you're not asking him, you're askin' ME. And unfortunately it's a bit of a boring answer. It wouldn't actually matter to him what he did with a partner; he's one of those sappy sons of bitches who's like, "As long as I'm with my partners any time well spent with them is a date <3" and means it.}
{Not that he would ever protest an actual, official, everyone knows it's a date date. It would just be a fairly lowkey one for him. If you held a gun to his head and was like WHAT'S YOUR IDEAL DATE NIGHT he'd probably give a scenario close to this:}
{Having dinner and just... hanging out. If they could go out somewhere, that'd be cool (but he doesn't have high hopes on that because he knows it's not really a practical want with the kind of bounty he has), but his current expectations are low as FUCK and all he really wants is to feel comfortable and at ease with someone, just shooting the shit and maybe making fun of something with them and being exactly as touchy-feely as he wants to be.}
{Oh. And slow lovey dovey sex at the end of the night. Swear to god the man's been insatiably horny ever since he realized there's people that love and accept him and find his less-human quirks something to love and revere rather than something to fear. It's like he's BLR Vash who's in fucking heat except he actually does a fairly decent job of hiding it.}
how comfortable is your muse with prolonged eye contact? 
{I was going to say that he's not super comfortable with it, but I'm actually not so sure. I think it really depends on if he initiates it first or not; Vash is definitely the type to make intense, prolonged eye contact just because that's who he is as a person with eye contact, but if he caught someone else staring at him and they didn't break eye contact, he'd probably start to get nervous.}
{...BUT THIS IS PROBABLY MORE IN THE CONTEXT OF PEOPLE HE HAS A GOOD RELATIONSHIP WITH/IS IN A RELATIONSHIP WITH. God knows he would not complain at all about Wolfwood making lots of eye contact. Livio and Razlo get permission, too, as well as Meryl and Milly.}
{Beyond that, it gets a little hit or miss. With them though, he absolutely gets dopey and smiley. Disgustinf.}
does your muse prefer conversation or just sitting quietly with their s/o?
{Vash can go either way, I think. He LOVES talking, but he's also more than happy to just quietly be with Wolfwood, too, just occasionally going "HAHA CHECK THIS SHIT OUT" before going back to companionable silence and affection.}
{Besides. He suffers from sleepy bitch syndrome. It means a fair bit to him to not feel like he HAS to entertain someone and just do whatever feels comfortable.}
is it easy for your muse to devote their full attention to one person at a time?
{I think if you asked Vash, he would say no, but I think he's not giving himself enough credit there. He's pretty good at devoting his full attention to people, so much as that goes for him; he always has some background processes running in his head, he always has some sidethoughts and can be a little easy to distract, but if he's focusing on you, you bet he's doing his DAMNEDEST to focus on you.}
{something something I know this poor bastard has ADHD but by god he will do everything he can for you.}

I'd recently come from WoW with my partner back in 2019 at the very tail end of Stormblood into the expansion drop of Shadowbringers (I also came from a FFXV binge and was devastated to learn we had JUST missed the first crossover event).
I was having a lot of fun just doing things on my own with the prospect of being able to play with my friends at a later time because the Discord group I was part of was filled with my D&D and other TTRPG friends that I've known for about a decade at this point. The owner of the Discord and FC at the time gave me all the permissions needed to decorate for the house, and I spent a good portion of my game time doing that a lot of the time instead of the MSQ.
I also picked up crafting and gathering because I wanted to craft furniture instead of buy it. :^)
I chipped very slowly away at the MSQ when I was feeling up for it until I reached Sastasha. Yep, the level 15 very first baby dungeon.
I asked my friends, "can I do this with just friends, or at a higher level later and just do it on my own?" One of my friends, who I'm still not sure was pranking me or not, said that I couldn't and that I had to play with friends or at least other people.
Well, unfortunately with people waiting for the expansion to drop, a number of my friends were not playing FFXIV, and so I was more playing on my own because my partner was often at work before he was allowed to work remotely due to Covid. This was way before Duty Support, and I couldn't just do the dungeon in Squadrons because I needed to run the dungeon first anyway. Not to mention be in a Grand Company in the first place for that latter bit.
Bear in mind, I had just come from WoW -- I had been playing WoW ever since I was thirteen when it released. I know that the WoW community can be toxic a good majority of the time, and was very grateful that when my partner and I met, we could actually play together. That we could simply duo a lot of content on our own because it removed us from having to deal with a toxic community. I did not have high hopes for even wanting to throw myself into the FFXIV community because my experiences were already tarnished in the social aspect (haha, looks at how I still can't really bring myself to be social).
"Well... you could just... story skip ARR. It's long and boring anyway."
"If I do that, I can also get my mount? Because I can't find a mount vendor."
"Your first mount and being able to ride a mount at all is tied to the MSQ. You have to be about level twenty-ish."
Cue me already spending $11 at the Mog-Station. Already more than I've ever done for WoW because I never bought anything off their cash shop.
My partner also skipped it so we were on the same page as far as experience with the game went.
We did. So. Much. Palace. Of the. Dead. Just to reach level 50 so we could move on.
Honestly, this did not diminish my enjoyment of the game at the time.
Why? Because WoW doesn't have a compelling story, and I played MMOs just to experience the exploration of it, not so much the story as a result. I skipped dialogue in WoW, and even when I played ARR, I clicked through dialogue because I didn't have high expectations. Because other MMOs also didn't have compelling stories that I played.
But then I sat through HW and actually watched cut scenes past the ARR story skip (I never skipped cut scenes, even in WoW or other MMOs, don't you worry), I was like, "okay, we're fugitives cast out to the cold -- literally." But what struck me the most -- what made me willing to make several alts just to replay ARR and experience ARR was that...
Your character is important.
Your character is acknowledged.
Your character has friends and bonds.
Your character pushes the story forward with stalwart allies at their back and side.
You're not just a dispensable, throwaway fighter on the front lines fuelling the stories of plot armor ridden heroes who barely remember your name or deeds.
So yes. I started in Heavensward with my partner. I didn't have the entire context of why we were in Ishgard, just that we were. But the experience I had still made me appreciate the game and appreciate the writing. More so on going back to replay things because looking back on all of it and seeing how everything falls into place -- that a lot of different plot points actually are touched upon and expanded upon (NOW LOOKING AT YOU, HEART OF SABIK) actually mean something or are concluded.
How did everyone play during their first playthrough? Did you read every quest? Only watch cutscenes? Skip everything to get to the end quick? I keep hearing different things and I’m curious!

when time runs out | iii
⋆ summary:  A young girl has fallen deeply ill with an unknown disease in her, so with all her free time spent in an empty hospital room, she spends it online playing video games. That's until she meets her cousins friends, one spiking her interest with his extremely vulgare language.
pairing: bakugou katsuki x reader
word count: 1.4k
warnings: none
authors note: I just wanna say thank you for the support on the recent chapters!! I think I'll also be able to post another chapter today to look out for that heheh
Tumblr media
Y/N didn't know how long she had been up for, nor how long she had been looking at the white, bland wall in front of her, but one thing she knew was that she felt uncomfortable. For all her time that she had spent in the hospital, she never really paid much attention to her room, almost always on her console and computer.
Of course she did online classes every now and then, but that was just another distraction for her, if she was being honest. A distraction that would make her forget of her situation. It didn't make her feel at home, though living in a hospital wasn't very homey either. Y/N could only sigh as she slowly got up from her bed, stretching to loosen her tense muscles.
Popping her neck, she thought about her bedroom back at home, remembering how safe she felt then. Her soft bed, the stuffed animals that were given to her, the colorful walls-
An idea flashed into Y/N's head as she stopped scratching her cheek in thought. Grinning, she quickly walked towards the little microphone that sat in the corner of her room. Turning it on, she spoke into it.
"Hello? Doctor Receen? You there buddy?" She waited for a moment until she heard the cheerful voice of her doctor speak. "Hello Y/N! How are you today?"
Y/N grinned as she watched the once mirrors turn into windows, giving her access to see the doctor. She waved at him.
"Haha, I'm fine, just fine! I actually just wanna ask you something." Y/N chuckled nervously as Doctor Receen raised an eyebrow in question.
"And that would be?" Y/N shifted to fully face the window, smiling timidly as she shifted her weight on her left leg.
"I was just wondering..." Her voice trailed off, hesitant about what she wanted to ask. Playing with her fingers, she looked up and saw Doctor Receen giving her a smile, urging her to continue.
"I was wondering if I could p-paint my room? Cuz, like it's a little um, not roomy here? I just want to feel more at h-home, y'know? Actually, now that I'm thinking about it, it doesn't sound safe. Sorry, p-please forget what I said, it's nothing-" Right as she was about to put down the mic, she heard laughing fill up her room, eyes wide as she looked towards the man as he wiped his eyes.
"Y/N, you don't have to be nervous around me. We've known each other for almost 2 years." Y/N vigorously nodded her head as Receen chuckled at this.
"And about painting your room-" Y/N waited in anticipation of what he was going to say as he looked to be thinking about the question. He smiled as he looked back at the excited girl.
"I don't see any problem with it." The girl jumped as she cheered with happiness, making Doctor Receen laugh at her reaction.
"Though, we will have to run some tests on the paints so it might take a day or so to get you your things. But we'll just give you the equipment to get ready for your paint job." Y/N hadn't felt so much happiness in a while, besides that night she played with those guys online. And her strawberry cheesecake. She thanked the doctor and jumped around in her room quickly turning on the TV to put some music on.
Walking away from the girl's room, Doctor Receen headed towards his office, a grim expression on his face.
Tumblr media
Doctor Receen rubbed his tired eyes, rolling the bottle that held the product of intense research done for the sick girl in her room. His eyes stared blankly at the open space in his office, thinking of how he should explain to the young girl's parents that his team and him had found a temporary way to let their daughter out into the world. A lot to take in, if you ask him.
He sighed, gently placing down the bottle of pills on his desk and reaching for his phone. He faltered though, unsure if the parents would even allow them to let her take the pills. He dialed their phone number though, waiting patiently as the line rang.
"Hello Doctor Receen? Has something happened?" Y/N's mother’s voice rang through the phone, urgently asking the dreaded question she didn't want the answer to.
"Good evening, Mrs. L/N. I hope you and your husband are doing well." Doctor Receen calmly greeted. Have to ease them in before breaking the news. The woman chuckled nervously, unsure where the conversation was heading.
"We're both doing well, thank you." The doctor hummed and slowly inhaled before letting it out. She heard this and a shiver went down her spine, only thinking the worst of what he was going to say.
"I am pleased to inform you that my team and I had finally found a way Y/N could go outside." There was a short silence, Doctor Receen running a hand through his black hair.
"What?" There was a tremble that came from the other line, not believing what he had just told her. Her baby could finally get out of that hospital and she'll be able to hold like she used too? That was impossible.
"H-how is that possible? Are you sure the way you found will work? How do you know if it works if you never tried it? Have you already? Oh my God please don't say you're lying!" Her frantic cries were heard loudly in Receen's ear, causing him to slightly move away from the phone. As he told the mother to calm down, he continued.
"Indeed we found a way for her to see the outside world. And as for knowing it works, we had specialists come and help us with the pills, meaning that there is a 97 percent chance they will work. That three percent is highly unlikely though, so you mustn't worry." M/N wasn't sure about what the doctor had said, but decided to trust him since after all, he had helped them so much already.
"Though, unfortunately, you know very well how much time she has left." A deafening silence sat in the air, making it seem as if time itself had stopped. The atmosphere was grave, almost depressing.
"I know." Her voice was so soft, so quiet, he almost didn't hear what she said if it weren't for the silence in the room. It hurt him to know how long Y/N had left until she...
"That is why I am asking for permission to allow Y/N to take the pills whenever she would like to go outside. There are only 15 pills since we had reached our deadline, but-" Receen was cut off by M/N, her voice shaking.
"How long do the pills last?"
"10 hours." M/N sighed in relief, a tear slipping out of her eye. It had taken a long time to finally create something so complicated and for it to last so long. She was overjoyed and extremely thankful.
"Thank you so much Doctor Receen. Thank you so much, Hiroki and I are forever in your debt." M/N sobbed, clutching her phone as the tears fell at a rapid pace. Doctor Receen smiled as she tried to hold back her choked sobs. He was happy for the family.
"Please Mrs. L/N, it's been such a pleasure helping your family. I could only hope we could've done more, but I hope you shall rest slightly more peacefully. But are we going to be able to allow Y/N to take the pills?" M/N vigorously nodded her head, forgetting that Receen couldn't see her.
"Oh! Yes, of course! But-" M/N paused, her thoughts getting doubtful. "Are there any bad side effects to taking the pills?" Receen was silent for a few seconds, pushing up his skewed glasses.
"She might be slightly dizzy when she first takes the pills and when the effects wear off. She also might be a little weak because of all the medicine in the pills, but besides that, nothing that we don’t know of." M/N let out a sigh of relief, a small smile stretching across her face.
"Thank you so much, Doctor. I can never be able to repay you for everything you've done for all of us." After a quick goodbye, Receen let out a sigh, rubbing his eyes again. Receen grinned, picking up the bottle and inspecting the pills inside.
"She took that in better than I expected. That's cool." Receen put the bottle in the pocket of his coat, and began walking away from his office, a slight skip in his steps.

Tumblr media
hinata shoyo
i’m sorry but, did u rlly expect our lil cinnamoroll to know what’s a pick up line?
he babie 🥺❤️
n e ways, it was finally his turn on their little game of truth and dare and nishinoya had dared him to use a pick up line on you.
“a pickup line??? what’s that? will it improve my volleyball skills??”
like i said a bABIE!!
nishinoya and tanaka needs to stop tainting my bbys mind.
“udk whats a pickup line??? how did u even end up with y/n.”
nishinoya is in shock.
and then the plan commenced.
their lil game of truth and dare ended up as a lil plan on getting u hinata to use a pick up line on you.
that night, u were walking home w hinata after club activities ended.
with noya, tanaka and kageyama trailing you, but we pretend they don’t exist.
“soo,, y/n”
“sup? y u acting all weird for? ur usually rambling abt volleyball by now.. u okay?”
“hoW DO THEY KNOW?? WHAT AM I GONNA DO NOW?? THEY TOLD ME TO SOUND NATURAL BUT THEY ALR KNOWS!! uGh my senpais are watching me, i gotta do them proUD!”
hinatas mind ran at 1,000km/h, it was insane. especially for someone who doesn’t usually use their brain.
“um, uM, Y/N! CAN U HELP ME HOLD SOMETHING?!?”
confusion.
that was the only thing u felt at the moment.
i mean u were alr infront of ur house, what’s the point of holding smt when u were leaving??
“whut”
conveniently, during ur moment of confusion, the only word u could form was “what”.
“m-m-mm-mY HAND!!”
hinata screeched at ur face
...
silence. whilst noya and tanaka facepalms in the bg
it took a moment, but ur brain finally computes what ur bf just said
“pFFFFFTT,”
ur first instinct was to release the phatest snort/wheeze. shane dawson is jealous. 
“y/nnnnnn~~ stop laughinggggggg”
hinata was now suffering from crippling embarrassment, as u wouldn't stop laughing no matter how much he pleaded.
omg imagine him all blushy and shiz akdkkoaw-- ok lets not get off topic
“ok,, okay, first of all, u could've just held my hand without asking? we’re dating? you don't need my permission to do smth we do everyday?? and, more importantly, who taught u that line u just used???”
u said half wheezing, half talking, struggling to convey wtv ur trying to say to ur bf.
lucky for u, he was strangely able to understand what u were saying, and he replies with a lengthy explanation of the entire situation. 
“ooo, so that's why noya, tanaka and kageyama have been following us,,”
“hOWD U KNOW??? NOYA-SAN OUR HIDING SPOT HAVE BEEN EXPOSED!!!”
as u left to go in ur house, he stops u by holding ur hand and gives u a peck on ur forehead. 
as he separates from u, he had the biggest smile plastered on his face, brightening the entire neighbourhood.
“goodnight y/n! i love you!”
Tumblr media
kageyama tobio
erm, lbr this man would have 0 ideas in the field of flirting.
knowing this, our lovely 2nd year duo, decide its time for them to step in and help their junior in his dating life
despite it flowing extremely smoothly w/out their intervention
n e ways, so they forced the 1st years to play truth and dare w them.
when it finally came to tobio’s turn, the unfortunate child unknowingly picks dare which causes nishinoya to spring up.
“i have the perfect dare for you.”
commencing plan...
so nishinoya dares kageyama to say a pickup line to you, but since kageyamas a big baby in disguise, he dk any pickup lines.
bet he didn't even know any pickup lines, but that's not the point. 
so, being the mastermind he is, nishinoya told kageyama a perverted pickup line.
being the clueless innocent baby he is, kageyama decides to recite the pickup line he received from noya to u outside ur class.
“hey y/n,”
“hmm?”
“do you like dragons?”
“eh? why the sudden question? i guess so?”
“cuz i can see me dragon my balls on ur face.”
processing...
.
what the fuck.
it was like god hit the pause button on earth, like literally everyone just paused for a literal second, turning their head towards kageyama, trying to figure out who tf was the brave soul who said that. 
while still in shock, kageyama just stood there confused, as he was suddenly placed in the centre of attention for no reason. o there's a reason honey, a very good one.
“why's everyone looking at me,”
with that one sentence, the world went back to normal as if someone had hit the play button all of the sudden, leaving u to deal with the weirdly awkward situation u found urself in. 
“ummm... tobio.. do u have any idea what u just said.”
“uhh yeah, a pickup line.” 
at that moment, when he said that, it hit u.
“what did they do.”
“huh, what are u talking about??”
*insert confused kags*
“nishinoya and tanaka told u to do something right?”
“r u a psychic???”
despite being amazed at ur ‘psychic powers’, he immediately explains the situation, causing u to face palm so much ur face may be concave.
there are times where u appreciate ur dumbass bf being a ignorant qt, but times like this makes u wish he was a tad bit smarter.. 
debating ur options, u decided to explain the meaning of the pickup line he just used on u in public.
once hearing and understanding the meaning of the pickup line he used on u, his face lit up like a matchstick, shining bright red, stuttering madly, struggling to get even a word out.
“oh, um, well, im sorry for saying smtg so indecent to u in public, um ill make it up to u somehow,”
understanding him was a struggle due to the severe stuttering he was suffering from, but u managed somehow.
“nahhh, its cool, i should go lecture nishinoya for corrupting my precious baby though~~”
“b-b-b-bABY!?!?”
“hehe, yes ur my baby <3″
Tumblr media
tsukishima kei
ugh this salty ass mfcker
honestly can't imagine him being forced into using a pickup line on his s/o
cuz, despite hw much we try to deny it, he is one smart mfcker,,,
but i think he would be curious how his s/o will react, so he would do it on his own will anyways.
umm, so this is how the situation went down.
it was another boring day, and the 2nd year duo was having none of that and decided too ensue a game of truth and dare with the 1st years.
this was how the c h a o s started.
he was trying to leave the game discreetly before he had to sell his soul to the devil. 
unfortunately for him, lady luck was not on his side, as he was chosen to do the next dare. 
“but wait a fucking minute, when the fuck did this become a game of dare or dare, when tf did freedom of choice decide to fuck off like that?”
plot convenience
so he was forced into a dare. 
the moment of dread came when tanaka stood up shouting he had a brilliant idea. and it all went downhill from there.
so tanaka dared tsukki to use a pickup line on his s/o. and his first reaction was no. 
“o come on, u never do anything romantic, i bet u haven't even held hands, sometimes i wonder how y/n’s still with u.”
“says the person who has never dated.”
tanaka shut ups. 
so somehow, he managed to get himself out of the situation. 
later that night, he couldn't stop thinking about pickup lines. he almost spent the whole night thinking about ur reaction. cuz volleyball is just a club, am i right..
he decided to use a pickup line on u tmrw, just to see ur reaction, not like he wants to use one, lmao that's lame, haha. a fucking tsundere.
the next day, during lunch, he left yams with the 1st year duo to go find u.
when he saw u, he immediately calls u. 
“hey, where's yams, u didn't tell me u wanted to eat with me today,”
“nah, i just had something to tell u.”
at this moment, tsukishimas heart was beating faster than ushijimas spikes.
“you know if u think about it we never stop tasting our tongues.”
“hmm, now that u said it ye--”
“how bout i taste urs for a change.”
since it was so unexpected, u had no idea how to react. 
as u returned to reality, u notice a slight pink on his cheeks.
u were gonna come back with a snarky comment, since it was rare he was so vulnerable(?) 
but ur plans were ruined when he glanced at u making eye contact, to check ur reaction. 
ur face bursts into the brightest red, hes ever seen. 
seeing ur extremely delayed reaction, he lets out a laugh, but immediately recollects himself. 
“it was a dare from tanaka.”
you were still bright red, but u felt the blush on ur face reducing after hearing the reasoning behind the line. 
“oh, haha, i was wondering what's up”
u said slightly dejectedly. 
he felt like he was just punched in the gut by guilt. 
“i was also curious about ur reaction, and i am satisfied to say the least.”
he leans down to ur height to whisper in ur ear, before initiating the kiss. 
ur blush returns almost immediately as u returned the kiss.
since yall were in school, he separed from the kiss after a few seconds. this is a place for knowledge, y'all nasties.
“welp, bye loser,”
after the kiss, he immediately return to yamaguchi, leaving u alone with ur thoughts. trying to escape from embarrassment.
he may be equal to the condiment on ur kitchen cupboard, but he still tries to make u happy, so appreaciate him and his efforts <3
Tumblr media
yamaguchi tadashi
a babie uwuwuwu
pickup line what's that? hehe omf he's so cute
so how this about to go down. 
so truth and dare bla bla bla... ive written this exact thing 3 times please excuse my behaviour.
since he was bored, yamaguchi forced tsukki to join in on the fun together, a decision he would regret. 
soon it became yamaguchi’s turn, and everyone turned quiet due to the lack of dares they had or yamaguchi.
that was until the one and only nishinoya stood up. 
“hEY, u have a s/o right, how about u use a cheesy pickup line on her!!” *eyebrow raise*
while processing what nishinoya just said, yamaguchi’s face morphed into one of dread and fear, as he turns his head to tsukishima for help.
“u dragged us into this mess, i aint helping u.”
and there goes his only help, well it was his fault in the first place dragging him and his best friend into this mess. tsukishima u tsundere.
yamaguchi was on the verge of tears, thinking of excuses and ways he could get out of the god forbidden situation he brought upon himself. 
but the only thing he could think of was the worst case scenario, which was u breaking up with him.
looking at his senpais, he slowly faces the fact that there's no escape and accepts his fate. 
if this is the cause of the end of ur relationship together, it just means the gods don't want y'all together.
“idk any pickup lines....” 
this was his last attempt of escaping as he bids ur relationship farewell, already aware it was not gonna work. 
“thiS IS WHERE I COME IN, don't worry yamaguchi i am the encyclopaedia of pickup lines.”
ofc his senpais would know the cheesiest lines on the surface of this earth. despite insisting the earth is flat.
and so the dreadful event began. 
after school ended, otw to his club, he met up with u. with his senpais trailing behind stalking y'all, to see ur reaction.
“ugh out of all the pickup lines, they had to make me use the most overused one... im gonna cry,,, y/n i hope u don't leave me after this.”
well here goes nothing...
“hey y/n,,” extreme stutters that im too lazy to type out.
“hmm?”
“k-k-kiss me if im wrong,,, b-but dinosaurs still exist right?”
before he could even cringe at himself, u gave him a peck on his lips while smirking afterwards. 
yamaguchi proceeds to poof into redness after processing what had just happen, as u laugh maniacally in the background.
“u could've just asked for one, and tsukishima already told me everything so u don't need to explain,"
yamaguchi did not have the brain power to comprehend the situation at hand, as he was still affected from the kiss from earlier.
“i can't believe u think i would breakup with u because of something so trivial.. im kinda upset..”
finally coming back to reality, yamaguchi finally realises the situation he's in. 
“o-oh, i didn't mean to make it seem like i didn't believe in our relationship, its just that w--”
he gets cut off by u kissing him again.
when u separate, u began to laugh again. 
“hAHAHHA, ikik, i was just joking around, don't worry ill love u no matter what, now off u go to ur club ill see u tmrw.”
not knowing what to do or how to react, yamaguchi felt the need to do smtg before u left. 
“i love u, ill call u later tonight!”
