if tai is guarding the crown of choice i'm not even expecting him to fight cinder or anything, quite the opposite; this is the same man who said that instead of tackling an obstacle by going through it, why not find a way around it:
"but if you just take a second look, then maybe you see... ("perhaps there was something that you just weren't seeing?" - maria) there's a way around as well. come on—one more before dinner."
like at this point he might as well go "are you hungry? i'm already making dinner so would you want to eat something?" he keeps cooking for multiple people even tho no one else is at home bc he's so used to it and now he's just like please somebody eat this food. like he knows who cinder is but by gods will he play dumb just so he has some company other than zwei for dinner.
(and cinder gets to eat a home-cooked meal for probably the first time in her life. i need this to happen okay, hunger is her thing, let her eat!!)

Alexia Hey Misa. We spoke about this already, but I just want to say it one last time. I wish you and Y/N all the best together in Madrid, you're part of our family and I love you for how you love her. And I know you know this and will do this, but please take care of our laelia. Please. She's always been our entire world and I'm still a little reluctant letting her go where I cannot be there for her. But I know she has you now, which is the next best thing 😉But truly, I trust you with her. I know we've come a long way when it comes to that, but I speak the truth when I say that I am so grateful that it's you who has her heart. Don't be hard on each other when things get a little difficult in the beginning. You both haven't lived with someone for a while, so it will take some time to adjust to each other, no matter how much you love one another. But if anyone can do it, it's you two. It feels a little silly that I'm hurting so bad, but that kind of also means you're the right person for my sister. Because if you weren't, I wouldn't be hurting that hard, because I'd know she'll come back to us eventually. I'm not so sure that's the case this time. You've got her heart now, and like it or not, I don't think you'll ever get rid of her even if you wanted to jaja. She really loves you, Misa. She's never loved someone so hard. I can see that what you have is forever, even if it's only been a year. I don't think I'll ever be able to thank you enough for what you've done for her, the way you love her and did so even when she needed time. Your patience, respect and gentleness with her has earned you our love and respect. I guess I also kind of want to apologise again for what I whispered into your ear all those months ago after the PK. Because you're family. Vale? You are. Never forget.
Misa Hey. Thank you for telling me all of this, and for trusting me to take care of her. I know how close you all are and I actually feel really terrible for plucking her away from you, from her familiarities and her routines and her people. I know it was her own decision and that she really wants this, despite feeling a little torn too. If I could, I would have us live closer to you all. I know how lucky I am with her loving me so much that she wants to make a lot of sacrifices for me, but I also can't help but feel really bad about it. She's starting all over again and that can be scary, but I'm going to make sure that she feels at home and safe and loved over here, I promise you. That she'll settle in quickly and that she will never forget she's my world. That she doesn't feel like she made all those sacrifices in vain. You can trust me that I'll keep to my promise, Alexia. She's my entire world, and I have loved her for longer than I even realised myself. I know it might be a little challenging at first, but after the obstacles we went through together, I know this will only be a small bump. I'll make sure to schedule regular visits to Barcelona, even if our schedules get a little busy. I don't want to come in between the bond she has with you and her friends. I would never want to take that away from her, which is why I feel so guilty that I'm indirectly kind of doing exactly that. I actually wanted to pass up on the place we found and wait with looking for anything until after the world cup, so that she wouldn't already be by herself right away. But she insisted and I have to agree, it's the perfect place for us. I think her friends are planning to stay some weekends with her while we're in Australia, so that does ease my mind. And you're also always welcome to stay and visit us, Alexia. Actually, I'd love if you could come over for a few days during our time off after the world cup. I think she'd really appreciate it. Just keep it a surprise, for now? Anyway, I have to go back to painting the next layer in the living room so all the painting is done when she arrives, jaja! She gave me clear instructions which colours to use and where. She got really serious about it and it made me love her even more. But thank you, Alexia. You mean a lot to me. I will forever cherish you and your sister. I promise you.

so I finally finished this?? after months??
Tumblr media
I'm no artist and drew this with my finger, have mercy on me, it's been sitting in my drafts for a while and I've worked on it for over 2 weeks now to finish it and I'm finally done and this is pure agony, idfk how actual artists do this like every day 😭😭
DISCLAIMER below the cut bc it won't fit up here
I feel like I should clarify this again. I am not an artist, I do not know anatomy, color theory or how to draw skin. I've been told the colors are off and I am aware of that. I am already working on another piece and I hope to improve with time, but for now I can only say: this was my first big project ever. I've only messed around before. This project did not turn out how I wanted it to and that is more than just okay.
I'm posting this because I spent way too much time on it to NOT post it and I eventually want to look back in a few years and see the progress I've made.
If you have any advice or criticism, please don't be rude about it, I'm very sensitive about critique and generally have a hard time taking it, so I'd appreciate it if y'all could be nice about it anyways.
(also I sacrificed almost 7h active work time on this so please have mercy on me, I'll cry)
ALSO PLS PLS PLS NOTICE THE BLUSH THEY'RE BOTH BLUSHING THIS IS SHIP ART THEY'RE GAY THEY'RE LESBIANS!!!
Tumblr media
again, I'm not an artist, this was drawn with my finger??? I think it's shitty but I invested too much time into it to NOT post it

not AC calling Lex "bro"💀💀
"One day of college and he's already an activist."

RUNS INTO YOUR ASKBOX . i’m just abt to go to snorkmimimi land but …. i just saw someone tag their rb w ”mihime” …… 🤨🤨🤨 HMMM.
MICKEYYYY I NEED DETAILS PLSPLS. I’M ALREADY SO INVESTED . mihime is such a cute shipname btw :’3 BUT WAHH I . need to know….. your first meeting + dynamic + love languages plspls <33333 and anything else you wanna tell me!!! i wanna hear abt you 2 so bad!!!!!!! in my brain utahime is . a pretty princess and you are her silly court jester . but that’s just my own brain i need to hear abt mihime straight from the source!!!!!!
(also do u . remember that jjk quiz we took….. way back when…… where you got assigned utahime as your jjk gf . uquiz makers looking straight into the future atp)
(double also . ily <333 don’t stay up 2 late pls!!! and dream the sweetest little dreams :33 here’s a cup of tea 🍵 to help u sleep)
WE'RE HERE WE'RE HERE WE'RE HEREEEEEE!!!!!!!!!! HEHEHEHEE MIHIME HAS ARRIVEDD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! okay but i kinda remember tagging like a half nsfw post with mihime so if that was how you found out... i apologize😭😭😭
ok so i fear that i am no better than satoru so... rip utahime. BUT SHE'S SOOOO SO CUTE LIKE HOW COULD I NOT TEASE HER YOU KNOW??????????????????????????? she definitely takes some time before she can admit to HERSELF that she likes me:3333333 (me and shoko figure it out before she does btw)
OK BUT THE BEGINNINGG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! we met through shoko!!!!!!!!! one night she just texted me and was like hey do you wanna go out for drinks and i obviously said yes and then lo and behold - there she was:3333333 overall she can hold her ground very well but when somebody is flirting with her (aka me:3) she gets flustered so easily!!!! SHE'S SO CUTEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA but yeah at first shoko sat between us and i just kinda stared at her bc omfg she's pretty and i saw her stealing glances at me too hehehe she's not as slick as she thinks she is lmao
(she also gets very blushy when she drinks and now doubled with my staring problem let's just say it has a very overwhelming night for her lmao)
but you know i love my slowburns and well this is nothing different,, we didn't start texting right away or anything we just kept seeing each other during what turned into weekly dinner nights at shoko's. we started sitting closer and closer, there were some lingering touches and pink dusted cheeks - it was very, very sweet hehehehe but don't be fooled by the cuteness bc i was still using every single oppurtunity to poke fun at her lmao THIS IS MY LOVE LANGUAGE OKAY I'M SORRRYYY😔😔😔
like we talked before i do think of her kinda like your royalty!reader!!!!!! a little bossy a little bratty she's just perfect for me okay i love her sm!! and not to say that i wanna think of myself as your knight!suguru but.... the dynamic is kinda like them lmao she's my princess ok.... she stomps her feet and i coo at her it's wonderful<333333
overall our love languages are actually kind of the same as misho's - i show my love through acts of service and she shows hers through physical touch. she's such a hard worker just like shoko so i love to just make her days easier in any way i can,, i like to make her coffee in the morning and i like to clean the apartment and do laundry and prepare her dinner and yes i am a malewife okay this is who i am this is how i love her. i give her a massage as she rants about her day and i wash her hair as she relaxes in the bathtub<3333333333333 she deserves everything in the world and i will give her said everything!!!!!
aaand yeah!!! i am a very touchy person anyway so her initiating any type of contact means a lot to me. hugs, kisses, hand holding. cuddling and playing with my hair - it's all i need tbh. sometimes she tucks like a stray hair behind my ear and i die. it's that serious......
WE LOVE GOING ON CUTE LITTLE CAFE DATES BTW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! we obviously have our one favourite, our special place but we looove love love trying out new ones!!!!!!!!!!!! and we always walk there. idk why this just popped into my head but while she does have a car (#girlboss) we adore strolling around the city hand in hand<33333 we always take a bunch of pics too!!!!!!!!! of each other and of stray cats we find and flowers and pretty places and each other and latte ar and and and okay actually i'm the one taking pics i love taking pics my camera roll is literally filled with her.................................
Tumblr media
ALSO I CAN'T REMEMBER WHETHER YOU'VE SEEN THIS BEFORE OR NOT BUT I OBVIOUSLY HAVE TO SHOW US OFF AT EVERY GIVEN CHANCE HEHEHEHE WE LOOK SO FUCKING CUTE I LOVE THIS SO SO MUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!! the art is by @/zerosiesblog hehehe
AND OMFG YOU'RE SO RIGHT ABT THAT JJK UQUIZ😭😭😭THEY KNEWW THEY KNEW ALL ALONG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! we're just meant to be!! even though this isn't my most fleshed out selfship it is a really natural one,, kinda like you said that yours and shoko's is yk? like it's mostly just about domestic stuff - this is all about me buying her flowers every chance i get and us taking baths together and us eating pancakes and us going to cat cafes and wahhh she makes me feel so warm i need to bite her cheek>:3333333333333333333
BUT EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE ARIIII YOU'RE ALWAYS SO GOOD TO MEEE I LOVE YOU SO SO MUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! this did take unnecassarily long bc it was in my drafts........... so it kinda drowned in there i do wanna apologze for that😔😔😔😔😔😔 bUT I AM LITERALLY SOO SO HAPPY THAT YOU ALWAYS GIVE ME A CHANCE TO GO INSANE ABT MY SELFSHIPS IT MEANS SO FUCKING MUCH TO ME IT'S SO FUN HEHEHEHE
SO THANK YOU MY LOVE MY LITTLE IRIS I HOPE YOU'RE TAKING CARE OF YOURSELF AND I HOPE THAT YOUR DAY IS GOING WELL!!!!!!!!!!!! SHRIMP IS ALSO SAYING HELLO O WAIT YES SHRIMP IS ALSO CANON IN MIHIME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! though.. she's a little afraid of shrimp actually... yk bc he likes to act like a feral beast sometimes but i can assure you that he'd never actually scratch her or anything,, they just need a little time to bond hehehhee BUT YES SHRIMP LOVES YOU AND I LOVE YOU AND MIHIME LOVES YOU WE CAN'T WAIT TO GO ON A DOUBLE DATE WITH YOU AND SUGURU:333333

GOLDEN GAY BRIDGE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD GOLDEN GAY BRIDGE!!!!!!!!! pls. :)
@outquisitor: oh i am SO curious about golden gay bridge 👀
I fear I may be letting you both down 😅 that's what i've retroactively working-titled my creative writing honors thesis from college lmao. it began as a nano project that i then reworked into a presentable "piece" by thesis presentation time.
(grief cw) the original nano novel (called éire advocens at the time) was about a young woman who lost her mother going on a journey to track down her biological father. as nanos do, it morphed into a sapphic road trip romance along the way, then in my revisions for thesis purposes, it evolved further into an experimental prose/poetry thing. and THEN my uncle suddenly died that year and in retrospect, that had a heavy hand in my reshaping of the project, not just in content (which was accidental, but it had already been about grief) but also in my apathy toward it (obv i had other stuff to care abt than a stupid school project).
I got the honors thesis, great, whatever, i'm in a post-graduation "what do i do with life" depression fog, my hard drive completely crashes losing whatever since last backup, i don't care i'm depressed. UNTIL i'm less depressed and think to revisit the project and can't find any trace of what i actually submitted as final form of my thesis project. at best i have the nanowrimo word vomit version and the revised for others' eyes (aka shorter) version.
and while i'm not enamored by the idea or very invested in its completion or rebirth or what have you, it does truly feel like The Piece That Got Away and i feel like i. owe it to the story or to myself to make something tangible out of the idea.
also fun fact: (for context, the 'final' version primarily focused on the main character finding a hookup in a gay club in San Francisco to cope with her mother's passing) the only feedback from my thesis hearing/presentation thing that i remember they wanted to see the main character grapple with her sexuality more. that the gay bits were like. too 'happy' and 'straightforward.' it made me so angry that i carry that anger today kljhgf
tl;dr: It was my college honors thesis that has been partially lost. I feel like I owe it to the project and myself to make something of it. I call it Golden Gay Bridge because in every rewrite i try, i get stuck in the minutiae of the two girls meeting at a gay bar in san francisco. oh god and i've just remembered it was supposed to have some water magic/magical realism style stuff in it lkjhjgf
Sorry no excerpt for this one, bc i don't even know what i want it to *be* 😭

yet another long reblog. (spoilers below!!)
first of all, the banner looks so good and cute?? and he looks so handsome. forget black panther, horanghae forever.
and?? this is so cute and sweet? anna, you ate this and left no crumbs.
— plot; the plot is so damn cute and fluffy and warm and just feels like a long hug after a hectic day. this will get me cancelled but this is the first long fic that i read for soonyoung. and i'm so glad that this is my first one. the romance did not feel rushed or forced but it was so natural and just so lovely. them having feelings for each other from the first is just so adorable. your honor, i love this story.
— oc; as much as i love badass female characters, i love the quiet and cute ones too! and istg, i started simping for miss oc after reading her description. move over soonyoung, my turn. and she's so sweet and lovely? as a fellow type-a, i understand her so much. and her pining for him was so adorable, like girl already had a heartbreak before even developing serious feelings for him. and the way she matches his energy at the last?!?!? ughh, so well-crafted.
— soonyoung; this guy, lmao. classic ball of sunshine who falls for shy, quiet girls. pouring hot espresso into a plastic cup, standing up (read: almost fist fighting) for her, losing his shit over a tiny spider, being convinced that they're soulmates and informing that they're locked in for life ?!?! aasdfghjkl pleaseeee. and him introducing himself as 'hoshi' 😭😭😭 i wonder what her reaction was when he explained the meaning. i love this guy.
— seokmin; OH I LOVED HIS CHAR. he's so cute and adorable. and wym he's TEN-YEARS OLDER??? him being so invested in her lil crush had me cackling. why is he like this?? "surrogate dad looking for tea," lmfaooo. my daddy issues peaked whenever he appeared. *cough cough* anywhooo
— the friend group; BOO SEUNGKWAN, lmao. he was so sus and dramatic. i'm sure they all teased the shit out of him and he wasn't even able to look at her without breaking into a big-ass blush the next day. and yes, if it wasn't obvious from my ramblings below, I LOVE LEE CHAN. begging for almond croissants?? (i will not forgive soonyoung for jumping to be mad at him without even hearing her. my boy deserves better 😔😔) and ofc, social butterfly mingyu making friends so smoothly and making them feel comfy.
incase, it isn't obvious. i love this story with my entire being and it was fluffy and adorable. i will def re-read this on bad days, i just know that. and i annotated some of my fav moments below!!
“I’m your only employee!” you shout back while he can still hear you. 
pls, i already love their dynamics
Plus if he wanted to fund both his dance trip and tiger collection, it was either he get a job near his school or he would have to resort to selling feet pics online. But getting a job at the cafe seemed like the safer and more logical option. 
Soonyoung, pls. I love this guy. 
“Everything went well though, right?” he asks you, trailing behind you like a lost puppy. 
Fav seokmin moment part 2
His soft eyes had your heart palpitating, you never took him for the type of person to defend you from mean customers. If you weren’t fully attracted to him before, now you are. There was something about the way his demeanour had changed while trying to protect you that made you look at him in a different light. 
Noo, cause why did this make me blush???? Full-on anime girl giggling and shit 😭
Soonyoung chuckles while shaking his head, giving you that same smile he did on the first day. The one that made his eyes look like a cute emoticon, and his cheeks puffy as if he were a hamster. 
I’m just a girl. I see a cute guy, i lose my shit. 
A giggle escapes your lips as you watch how desperate Chan is for a free croissant, you’ve never seen someone so passionate over bread before. 
chan pls, im here for soonyoung. and give him his bread pls. (i can imagine his boba eyes going all big and wide. chan is so- *gets dragged back to my enclosure* )
Soonyoung offered to walk you home and you refused but he insisted that he wouldn’t be able to sleep properly if you walked alone at this hour.
He’s soo sweett, pls. where do i find a soonyoung in real life? someone drop the amazon link. 
you sigh, admitting your feelings so that your boss, nearly ten years older than you, would stop prancing around like a lunatic for all the passersby to see. 
Fav seokmin moment pt 3
Leave it up to Seokmin to disregard professionalism in the workplace. If anything he was more like your surrogate dad that liked to be filled in on the latest drama. 
i laughed like a lunatic at this. your phrasing pls-😭😭
His eyes widen as his gaze sets upon you before sending you a flirtatious wink. He goes back to facing the centre of the crowd, your whole body enveloped in heat. 
gahh, lola giggling like a maniac pt 23456
“I like you, I know we didn’t meet that long ago, but every time I see you I get so happy, and I love how all my friends like you, and you’re just so beautiful, I can’t keep it to myself anymore, but if you don’t feel the same–,” He blurts out, redness crawling up from his neck to his cheeks once again. 
oh- the classic confession speed train. Why is he sooo cute??
you pull him into a hug, which is not something normal for you, but Soonyoung is the exception. You can’t help but want to hold him in your arms, your own personal ball of sunshine that has been crafted specifically for you. 
ASDFGHJKLKJHGFDSASDCFGHJK. me too, oc, me too
“Fucking Chan,” he curses at his best friend, “what did he say exactly?” 
LMFAO BRO CALM DOWN. not him jumping at his bsf so fast- 
“THAT WAS YOU?” He practically jumps out of his seat, hands now placed on your shoulder, inspecting every corner of your face, “now that I think of it, your glasses do look familiar.” 
“Oh my god, we’re meant to be,” he mutters to himself, his hand covering his mouth in shock. 
“I hope you know we’re locked in for life now,” he stares at you earnestly, taking both your hands in his and you look at him quizzically, “Sorry baby, but we can’t disappoint the universe after all the hard work they put into our love story.” 
he’s so dumbie and cute. *chokes and dies*
“I want to be your boyfriend, like really really bad, but only if you’ll let me,” he declares, eyes piercing into your soul with all seriousness. 
“I want to be your girlfriend, like really really bad,” you echo his words. 
This is so cute and im so lonely. pls, i love how she’s matching his energy. THEY’RE SO CUTE, GAHHHHHHH
His hands move lower on your body, your skirt hiking up your thighs as he grips at your flesh. Your skin is so soft, and he can’t get over how sweet your lips taste. Soonyoung knows if he were to miraculously die now, he would die a very happy man. 
Just the first kiss and they’re already so horny. 
Out of all the people you could fall for, you’re happy it was your clumsy coworker with an oddly large tiger collection. You’re thankful for the fact that out of all the people, he was the one to help you on that rainy day. Even when it’s gloomy outside and the clouds cover every inch of the sun’s rays, Soonyoung still glows under the grey sky. Rain or shine, you want him no matter how good or bad the weather is.
you finished the story so perfectly. pls, i love love love this SO MUCH.

Tumblr media
Today was one of those days. The birds don’t sing in your wake, the sun doesn’t shine as bright. You weren’t sure what had been the catalyst to such a terrible day; maybe it was forgetting your umbrella, losing your glasses under the gloomy sky, or the rain that pitter-pattered against the pavement and mocked your misfortune.
It wasn’t until a faceless stranger entered your blurred field of vision, offering their umbrella and picking up your glasses. Before you could even thank them for their help, they whisked away so quickly that it was like they were a figment of your imagination. 
That small kind gesture had stuck with you for days, wondering if you would ever be able to meet them again. You desperately wished you could see what they looked like, but from the softness of their voice to their gentle touch, you had a feeling that their personality was just the same. 
˚∗˖⁺⑅ ˖⁺⑅˖◛
Working a shift at Rain or Shine Cafe is always the highlight of your day, especially after spending so many hectic hours at your university. The cafe was always serene, the customers were kind, and you liked how calming it would get once the Vancouver rain started to pour in. The droplets hit the glass windows in a rhythmic pattern that could probably put you to sleep if you allow. 
Rain or Shine Cafe was like your little haven from the busy city and university town. You were working the evenings while your boss, Seokmin, would cover the mornings. It was a little bit complicated with only the two of you, but you didn’t mind. You liked being the only person during your shift, it meant that you were practically your own boss. 
It wasn’t until the day that Seokmin decided it was time for a new hire, your safe space seemingly turned upside down. 
“Y/n, I’ve hired a new person, you’ll have to train them okay?” Seokmin informs you the moment you clock in. 
Giving him a defeated sigh, you knew it was time for a new coworker to join you. Although you hate the idea, you feel bad at how hard Seokmin works in the mornings, and on the rare occasions when you’re sick, evenings as well. 
“I don’t know Seokmin… are you sure I should be the one training them?” your tone wavers, if anything the owner would be able to do a better job than you at training the new hire. 
“What! You’ll do great, you’re my best employee after all,” he gives you a reassuring pat on your shoulder. 
With furrowed brows, your eyes bore holes into his back as he headed back to his office. 
“I’m your only employee!” you shout back while he can still hear you. 
The idea of having to train a new person after spending so much time finding your rhythm while working at the cafe doesn’t particularly thrill you. With many many prayers to the universe, you just hope they aren’t a pain in the ass to deal with. 
˚∗˖⁺⑅ ˖⁺⑅˖◛
Soonyoung wasn’t sure what to expect on his first day, and he was especially nervous because he’d never worked at a cafe before. Although his coordination is great when it comes to dancing, he isn’t so confident in his coffee-making skills. 
The moment he walked through the door, he saw your face shining against the afternoon sun, his heart beating so fast he thought he might have to go to the doctor for a serious case of heart palpitations. He can’t help but curse at himself silently, knowing that he is going to be extra nervous because of his extremely pretty coworker. 
As he approaches you he starts to feel a sense of familiarity bubbling at the bottom of his stomach. Wondering if he’d seen you around before, but he quickly scratched that idea knowing that there are millions of people living in the Greater Vancouver area. 
Clearing his throat he tries to get your attention as you delicately refill the pastry shelf with almond croissants and bagels. Your eyes turn towards the figure in front of the counter, assuming it’s another student from the university wanting to order. 
“U-uh hi,” Soonyoung blurts out, his pillowy cheeks turning red under your gaze. 
“Hi, what can I get for you?” you ask him, trying to ignore the awkwardness between you two. 
“Oh! I-I’m not here to order, I’m the new hire?” He tries to explain, but you can tell he feels a little unsure about being here at the cafe. 
“Oh. Soonyoung right?” 
“Yeah, that’s me, but uh- you can call me Hoshi,” he chuckles, scratching the back of his head. 
The words ‘play it cool’ keep repeating in his mind as he continues to talk to you, not wanting to make a bad first impression with his gorgeous new coworker. 
“Ah, I see, Hoshi,” you say apprehensively while nodding your head, yeah I’m not calling him that, you think to yourself. 
Seokmin told you that the new hire would be coming in for his first shift today, but he didn’t mention anything other than that. 
At first glance, Soonyoung wasn’t the type of person you expected Seokmin to hire. His dark clothing, bright blond hair and piercings along his ears didn’t scream “barista”. The aura around him screamed men’s fashion influencer just from the way he dresses. Although his clothes were casual you could tell there was still thought put into his outfit, from the baggy dark wash jeans to his graphic tee and earrings. 
“How about you come around the counter and clock in so we can get started,” you add as you finish placing the pastries on the display shelf. 
Scratching the back of his head he walks over only to hover behind you, a meek expression washes over his face. 
You turn to him with a quizzical eyebrow, not sure as to why he’s just standing there like a lost child in a supermarket. 
“H-how exactly do you clock in?” Soonyoung mumbles while twiddling his thumbs. 
“Seokmin didn’t show you where to clock in?” You question him. 
There was a part of you that had a feeling that you might have to teach him every little thing around the cafe. When Seokmin told you the new hire was coming in today, you were hoping that they would at least have a little bit of background knowledge. 
“U-uh no he pretty much hired me on the spot and told me to come in today,” he mutters, feeling a little embarrassed by your judgement, “this is actually my first job ever.” 
“Ever?” 
“Yeah, so I’m not sure why he even hired me, but I needed a job so I didn’t turn it down,” he continues, the blush on his soft cheeks becoming more apparent. 
You sigh deeply, this shift is going to feel a lot longer than you initially thought. Knowing it’s his first job means that you’ll have to train him a little slower. As you walk to show him where to clock in you silently pray that he’s a fast learner. 
Soonyoung can tell that you’re not excited to train him, and he feels bad that he doesn’t have the experience to be good at his job right away. But he’s determined to learn quickly, not wanting to disappoint you or Seokmin. 
He spent most of his time in university being able to pay for his expenses from his dance scholarship and the little money he was given from his parents, but unfortunately, it wasn’t enough to fund his trip for his and his dance troupe’s upcoming competition. 
They had entered a national competition taking place in Seattle and although the commute was only a two-hour road trip, there were so many other fees that he couldn’t afford unless he found a way to earn money. Plus if he wanted to fund both his dance trip and tiger collection, it was either he get a job near his school or he would have to resort to selling feet pics online. But getting a job at the cafe seemed like the safer and more logical option. 
“Well now that you’ve clocked in, this is your apron and the tag that Seokmin made you,” you inform him while handing him his things. 
Soonyoung doesn’t say a word, only nodding while listening to you explain how everything works at the cafe. 
“First we need you to learn all the drinks that we serve,” you explain, pushing the double doors that lead back to the main room of the building. 
“Okay, I can do that, it can’t be that hard right?”  Hoshi shrugs, trying his best to act nonchalantly to mask his nervousness. 
“Wait-No! That’s wrong,” your voice raises in panic as you watch Soonyoung put a fresh shot of espresso into the plastic to-go cup. 
Freezing, his eyes go wide as his mouth forms an ‘O’ shape and you start to scramble with panic. The plastic started to shrivel from the heat of the coffee. 
“I’m sorry! I didn’t know it would melt!” he exclaims, pouring the contents into the sink. 
It had been an hour of teaching Soonyoung how to make the drinks that were on the cafe menu, and he had somehow made a mistake every single step of the way. Thankfully today is a slower day in the cafe, allowing Soonyoung to observe your routine on serving customers. 
“It’s fine, how about we take a break and I'll show you how to use the oven to heat the pastries,” you sigh with defeat. 
Soonyoung’s face drops a little because he knows that he’s disappointed you. He wishes that he was good at his job the same way he is with dancing but his naturally good coordination and reflexes can only take him so far. 
“If a customer asks for a pastry they can have the option for them to be toasted in the oven, you just need to use the tongs and place them onto the rack,” you explain, demonstrating the steps that you would usually take, “then you don’t want to set the timer for more than twenty seconds or it’ll burn.” 
Soonyoung nods along, trying to follow your instructions closely, but he can’t help but get distracted by your features. Your hair is tied up, and glasses perched on your nose as you try to concentrate. He knows that it’s important to pay attention but he can’t help but feel attracted to you. There was a certain familiarity to you that he couldn’t seem to pinpoint. He hasn’t felt like this about someone he just met ever, and it’s not helping that you’re the one teaching him how to do his job properly. 
If he could stare at you during his whole shift instead of working, he would. 
“Does everything make sense so far?” you pull him out of his thoughts, staring at him expectantly. 
“Yeah, the pastry stuff seems like the most simple thing so far,” he comments, watching you put the croissant into a bag to eat after you’re off work. 
“How about we go back to making more test drinks? Just so you can get the hang of it,” you offer, wanting him to get more practice just in case it’s a busy day the next time he comes in for a shift. 
“Sure, you’re a great teacher by the way, I’m just new to all this,” he comforts you. 
“Thanks, and don’t worry too much, you’ll get better with time,” you pat his shoulder. 
You give him a smile of gratitude. The past few hours had you doubting your knowledge, patience, and teaching skills all at the same time. But his words of reassurance make you feel him warm inside. 
The way Soonyoung’s cheeks puff as he smiles makes you giggle. There was something about his soft features that made him so endearing, which made you feel a little bad for raising your voice at him earlier while he was trying to learn. 
Sure, he’s not the smartest when it comes to working at a cafe, but you have faith that he’ll be able to learn as time goes by. From the looks of it, Soonyoung seems determined to do better, that or he’s faking it. Either way, you owe it to Seokmin to show him everything you know. 
˚∗˖⁺⑅ ˖⁺⑅˖◛
“So…” Seokmin looks at you expectantly while you get ready to start your shift, “how was it?” 
“Well… he’s definitely new,” you sigh as you put on your apron and clock in. 
Seokmon gives you a concerned look, he felt a little bad for handing Soonyoung over to you knowing he had zero experience working in a cafe, but he trusted you, his best (only) employee to be able to train him well.
“Everything went well though, right?” he asks you, trailing behind you like a lost puppy. 
You can’t help but laugh at the way he follows you to the counter, wanting to hear every detail about what happened during your last shift. 
There wasn’t much to say other than the fact that Soonyoung wasn’t very good at his job, but you don’t want to be an asshole and rat him out when you could tell how eager he is to do his job properly. Instead, you decided to lie to your kind, and very naive boss. 
“Oh he’s perfect, honestly you made the right decision in hiring him,” you force a smile. 
Seokmin’s eyes light up with excitement, you could practically see his imaginary tail wagging back and forth with happiness. He trusts you so much that he never thought to hire anyone else, meaning this was a big step for him and the cafe. You could already start to feel the guilt seep into your nerves as he stared at you with so much trust.
“Really? Oh, thank god, I was so nervous when he told me he’s never had a job in his life before, honestly Y/n, I’m so happy and I’m sure things will–” Seokmin is cut off by the jingle of the bell above the door. 
Both your heads whip around as Soonyoung enters the cafe with a bright smile along his lips, refreshed from the last time he was in and ready to work a real shift this time. His clothing was more appropriate for work, a simple black tee shirt and black pants, his blond hair reflecting with the sun, giving him a halo effect. 
You wish you had met Soonyoung in different settings, then you would be able to admit how attractive he is. If only he wasn’t such a clutz, then maybe you would have a full-blown crush on him. 
“Afternoon Soonyoung,” Seokmin smiles at him. 
Fridays were always the busiest days at the cafe, even during the evening. You're just hoping that the odds were in your favour and Soonyoung actually retained all the information you told him last time you saw him. 
“Afternoon everyone!” he exclaims cheerfully. 
Waving at him you watch him descend to the back to clock in for his shift, your stomach churns with anxiety because you aren’t sure how well today is going to go. 
“Okay Y/n I’m off, you’re in charge as always,” Seokmin declared before leaving. 
… 
About half an hour into your shift, the pace of the cafe started to pick up and the line was starting to get longer. As the clock hit three-thirty, all the university students started to pile into the tiny building. 
You were starting to sweat and because Soonyoung still doesn’t know how to make all of the drinks you put him on cashier and pastry duty. It seems to be the only way that you were able to get through to all the customers in a timely manner. 
“Is there really only two of you?” A male customer whines at the back of the line, clearly annoyed by the wait. 
“Yes, unfortunately, this is usually the busiest time of the day for us,” you try to explain politely, but your anger issues start to creep up onto the surface. 
The overstimulation from the heat of the coffee as well as the chatter of customers was causing your patience to thin. You didn’t want to have to argue with anyone today, especially because you had a newbie working with you. 
“Could you at least hurry it up?” He scoffs, eyes rolling with annoyance. 
You don’t reply to his complaints, because if you were to start talking you would probably end up starting a fight mid-shift. 
“Dude, you can’t talk to her like that,” Soonyoung retaliated, obviously annoyed with the whiny customer. 
“What’d you say to me?” the customer fumes, coming to the front of the counter. 
The two men size up each other while you stand there a little shocked at how fast Soonyoung was to defend you. 
Soonyoung scowls as he stares at the asshole who was yelling at you. He wasn’t expecting people to get so angry over coffee but he wasn’t going to let someone disrespect you. 
“I said, you can’t talk to her like that,” he seethes, looking at the customer up and down with his chest puffed out, “if you’re so sick of waiting then go somewhere else.” 
“You know what I will. I don’t want some slow bitch making my drink anyways,” the customer retorts. 
“Fuck you! And don’t come back!” Soonyoung yells at his descending figure and turns at you silently asking if you were alright. 
His soft eyes had your heart palpitating, you never took him for the type of person to defend you from mean customers. If you weren’t fully attracted to him before, now you are. There was something about the way his demeanour had changed while trying to protect you that made you look at him in a different light. 
… 
By the time it was closer to the end of both you and Soonyoung’s shift, the amount of customers coming in slowed down considerably, allowing you to rest after what had happened earlier. 
The sun was down and it was nearing eight in the evening. While you were cleaning the counters and organizing for the morning shift, Soonyoung was mopping the floors and putting the chairs back in order. He looked peaceful as he was cleaning, you couldn’t help but stare. 
Soonyoung’s jawline is sharp as he appears to be deep in thought, and you allow yourself to admire the way his biceps flexed under his shirt as he swayed the mop back and forth. The veins along his forearms popped with each movement he made, you practically had to pinch yourself in order to not get caught ogling at him. 
“Uhm, I just wanted to say thanks for earlier, you didn’t have to do all that,” you speak up, catching his attention, “I appreciate it.” 
Soonyoung chuckles while shaking his head, giving you that same smile he did on the first day. The one that made his eyes look like a cute emoticon, and his cheeks puffy as if he were a hamster. 
“It wasn’t that big of a deal, I wasn’t going to let that asshole talk to you like that,” he shrugs nonchalantly. 
“Yeah I know, but still, thank you,” you reiterate, heat starting to creep up your neck as you recall the way he acted earlier.
“Of course,” he continues to smile before he says something you didn’t expect, “also, I know we’re not all that close, but me and my friends were going to go to the bar down the street. Do you want to join us?” 
Your eyes widen in shock, an answer flying out of your mouth before you can even think properly, “Sure!” 
“Okay, cool!” his eyes lit up at your acceptance to his invite, “we’re going to watch one of my friend’s shows, so you can meet me here again at like, 10 pm?”
“Are you sure they’re okay with me coming though? I don’t wanna impose,” you ask with uncertainty. 
“Yeah, of course, they’re chill,” he reassures you before going back to finish his task. 
Turning around you silently scream at the thought of going out with Soonyoung, being able to talk to him off work hours, it made you blush deeply. You don’t understand why you’re reacting this way all of a sudden as if you weren’t constantly annoyed by his clumsiness just a week ago, but you’re not opposed to the feelings of your developing crush on your coworker. 
˚∗˖⁺⑅ ˖⁺⑅˖◛
This was the first time in Soonyoung’s life that he had been wrecked with nervousness. Not even when he was performing on stage did his nerves get the best of him. You were just so pretty, and the more he worked with you, the more he wanted to get to know you, to interact with you outside the cafe and learn more about your personality. 
“Soonyoung!” he hears you call out for him, forcing him to look up from the pavement. 
His heart beats out of his chest, and his palms start to sweat. Your hair is down and frames your face. As you start to get closer he allows himself to appreciate the view in front of him. The moonlight shining above, the stars twinkling beautifully and yet he can’t seem to take his eyes off of you. 
Your outfit suited you so well, a short skirt, an oversized graphic tee and a pair of knee-high boots. So this is what you look like outside of work, Soonyoung thought to himself. He already found you attractive in your work clothes, with your brown apron and baseball cap. But seeing you like this made his mouth go dry, forcing him to gulp like a starved man. 
“H-hey! You look really good,” he stutters and he curses at himself silently from how nervous he is. 
“Thank you, you too,” you blush, a timid expression falling on your face, not being able to meet his eyes as you play with the keychain on your bag. 
“Are you ready to go?” he asks, his head nudging in the direction of the bar. 
You nod with a smile, following his steps toward your destination. With clammy hands, you grip the strap of your bag while you and Soonyoung walk in perfect harmony. This is the first time you’ve gone for a night out in a while, and your body is filled with nervousness and excitement at the thought of being able to spend more time with Soonyoung. 
… 
“Hoshi! The show is about to start, what took you so long?” a brown-haired man calls out, walking towards the two of you. 
His eyes widened with curiosity, realizing that Soonyoung hadn’t come to the bar alone tonight. 
“And who is this?” he asks, observing you closely with a glass of beer in his hand. 
“Y/n, this is Seungkwan, Kwan, this is Y/n,” Soonyoung introduces the two of you, and you can only reply with a shy wave and smile. 
“I see,” he mutters, taking a sip from his glass. 
Seungkwan’s eyes are boring holes into your face and it causes your cheeks to heat up. 
“She’s my coworker at Rain or Shine,” Soonyoung adds, before giving Seungkwan a pointed look. 
Seungkwan, although usually friendly, is very intrigued as to why you were brought over to hang out with Soonyoung and their friends tonight. It wasn’t a normal occurrence for Soonyoung to bring anyone new to Vernon’s shows, especially a girl. He concluded that you must mean something to Hoshi, and not just because you’re his coworker. 
“Ohh okay, it’s nice to meet you,” Seungkwan smiles and that allows you to let out a breath of relief that you didn’t realize that you were holding, “but we should get to our seats, the show is about to start.” 
There’s a collective agreement and the three of you head over to a reserved table that’s located closer to the stage. It must be a perk to know the band that was playing because it had the best view in the bar. 
As you reach the table you meet with a few more people sitting around talking and drinking. Your naturally introverted attitude increases tenfold when your eyes lay on the group of men talking loudly and laughing with each other. 
“Soonyoung’s finally here! And he’s brought a friend,” Seungkwan announces, his back facing you and you don’t catch the way his eyebrows wiggle suggestively. 
The group’s conversation is cut off and they go over to greet you and Soonyoung. They were all so tall and attractive, you didn’t expect it at all. But it somehow makes sense that someone as good-looking as Soonyoung would also have good-looking friends. 
“Y/n, this is Chan, Mingyu and Minghao,” Soonyoung introduces you, pointing everyone out one by one. 
“Hi, I work with Soonyoung at the cafe,” you greet them with a small wave. 
The three men smile at you warmly before you sit down, and Mingyu is the first one to talk to you. You’re awestruck at how attractive he is, his wide smile and sharp teeth poking out added a charming factor to him that you wouldn’t notice if it were anyone else. 
“Hi, did you want something to drink?” he asks you, his voice husky and warm. 
“A diet coke and rum is fine,” you tell him and he nods before getting up and heading to the bar. 
Watching him walk away, you turn your attention back onto Soonyoung who seems to be deep in conversation with Chan. Seeing him laugh and talk with his friends is new to you, and it makes your stomach flutter at how concentrated he is. 
“No I can’t give you the leftover pastries, stop asking me, I literally just started working there,” Soonyoung groans as Chan begs him for leftover almond croissants. 
A giggle escapes your lips as you watch how desperate Chan is for a free croissant, you’ve never seen someone so passionate over bread before. 
“I can give one to Soonyoung next time we close, we always have leftovers,” you chime in, giving Chan a warm smile.
Chan practically lights up with excitement and Soonyoung rolls his eyes at the fact that his younger friend is somehow always able to get what he wants. You can’t help but smile at how eager he is over such a simple thing.
“Are you sure? You don’t have to do that,” Soonyoung looks at you. 
He watches as you give him a reassuring smile, your eyes reflecting the bar lights. There are so many things that he got to learn about you today. The way you get shy meeting new people, yet you’re kind and willing to get to know his friends. You were tugging on his heartstrings and he didn’t want to stop getting to know the little things about you. 
“Yeah, it’s fine, Seokmin always lets me bring some home after my shift is over anyways,” you wave your hand, letting Chan know that Seokmin is a chill manager. 
“Really? Thank you Y/n,” Chan gives you a look of gratitude, going over to hug you. Laughing at his sudden burst of affection, you pat his back while telling him it wasn’t that big of a deal. 
The lights in the bar started to dim and you see Mingyu coming back with your drink. He places it in front of you and says not to worry about paying for it. There wasn’t much arguing coming from your side, who are you to refuse a free drink? Instead, you thank him and pay attention to the band coming out onto the stage. 
“Oh yeah, whatever happened to your ‘beautiful stranger’? Did you ever find her?” you hear Chan ask right before the band performs. 
There was a pause in the air and Soonyoung’s words were drowned out by the music. You are grateful for the fact that you couldn’t hear his answer. Honestly, you didn’t want to know what he had said in response. Instead of worrying over something you had no right to worry about, you allow the music to take over you. Paying close attention to the melodic singing flowing through the speakers. 
… 
“Thank you for inviting me out tonight, I enjoyed it,” you break the silence on the walk home to your apartment. 
Soonyoung offered to walk you home and you refused but he insisted that he wouldn’t be able to sleep properly if you walked alone at this hour. The time was nearing one in the morning and you were able to meet the rest of his friends after the show. They were all nice to you, except for that first moment with Seungkwan, but he warmed up shortly after. 
The descent to your place was relatively quiet, the two of you admiring the Vancouver skyline and high mountains. Sometimes you forget that you live in such a beautiful place, a city that never sleeps. You watched Soonyoung appreciate his view and you smiled inwardly at how content he seemed. 
Watching him interact with his friends earlier warmed your heart, he looked so happy being around them it made you forget how bad he is at his job, and that he’s a little clueless when it comes to working at the cafe. You felt bad about getting angry with him so quickly, but as you started to understand him more, you realized that there’s more to him than his clumsiness. He’s a bright person, he has the resemblance of a ball of sunshine. Always smiling, eager to bond with his friends, to laugh and to make thoughtful memories. 
You realize how much you had envied him in that moment. It’s easy for him to get along with everyone, and the fact that he’s able to go out without overthinking the smallest things. You just wanted to be as carefree as Soonyoung. 
“It's no problem, I wanted you to come, and they all loved you!” he chirped, eyes turning into slits from a wide smile. You blush at his outward personality. 
“Well, this is me,” you motion toward the entrance of your apartment building.
 You were a little embarrassed at its homely nature. All the nicer apartments surrounding your tiny building. But you couldn’t help but think that it had a charm to it that the modern buildings in Vancouver didn’t have. 
“Have a good night Y/n,” Soonyoung grinned as you two stood there, the breeze flowing through your fingertips while you stared into his sparkling eyes. 
“Have a good night Soonyoung,” you repeat him, and he doesn’t say anything else, pulling you into a hug. 
Soonyoung wasn’t sure if you like to be hugged, and he was hesitant at first, but with the way you were staring at him, he couldn’t help but want to hold you. He understands that you aren’t that close, but he knows he wants to get to know you more. 
As he holds you in his arms, he breathes in your scent, and it’s addicting. You smelt like a rainy day, reading books against the window sill and drinking a warm cup of tea. You felt like home to him, he finds it odd that he thinks of you that way so early on in your friendship, but he can’t help it. Soonyoung doesn’t want to deny his growing feelings for you. 
Although you were surprised by his actions you didn’t hate the way his arms felt around you. Strong and muscular, holding you tight while you breathe in the scent of his cologne. He smelt good, like roasting marshmallows over a campfire, or a beach day where the sun warmed your skin in the best way. 
There's something comforting about Soonyoung’s demeanour, his personality, his everything. Why was he so nice to you? Why did he express so much interest in someone he barely knows? You didn’t know and you were too shy to ask. 
He pulls away and opens the first door to your building for you, making sure you enter safe and sound. But before you could get to the door with the lock he asks you a question. 
“Uh, Chan and I have a dance showcase coming up next weekend, did you wanna come and see me perform?” Soonyoung asks while blushing. 
“I’d love to!” You answer back, and he just nods, letting go of you so that you can go up to your apartment and rest. 
“I’ll text you the details! Good night!” He yells from down the sidewalk, arm flailing to wave goodbye. You can’t help but giggle at him, your cheeks heating up at his goofy personality. 
As you enter your apartment, your mind travels back to the question Chan had asked Soonyoung before the band started performing. Who was this beautiful stranger that he was talking about? It made your stomach churn at the possibility that Soonyoung wouldn’t be available if you decided to tell him about the crush you’d developed. Sighing at the thought, you try to not let it affect you. You’ve only known him for a short time, and there’s no reason for you to feel jealous of someone you’re not even sure that he knows.
˚∗˖⁺⑅ ˖⁺⑅˖◛
“How was your weekend, kiddo?” Seokmin’s presence welcomes you into his cafe, giving you a dazzling smile. 
“It was fun, me and Soonyoung went out with his friends,” you blushed as you recollected the time you got to spend with him. 
Seokmin walks up to you, his eyes panning over your body, eyebrow quirked up. He taps his chin acting as if he’s in deep thought before moving closer, sniffing you and you almost slap him square on the cheek. But he’s quick to avoid your hand. 
“I smell a crush!” He points his finger at you, his tone accusatory. 
“What?! Pfft, I don’t have a crush,” you deny his allegations, but your forehead starts to collect sweat out of nervousness. 
You didn’t think that Seokmin would put you on the spot like this, but it would feel awkward to admit that you have a crush on your coworker. Who just so happened to start working here less than two weeks ago. 
“Don’t lie to me, I can smell it on you! You have a crush,” Seokmin sang, dancing around you teasingly. Poking at your cheeks like you were a grizzly bear he’s trying to provoke. 
“Okay! Okay. Maybe I do have a crush, but it doesn’t mean anything,” you sigh, admitting your feelings so that your boss, nearly ten years older than you, would stop prancing around like a lunatic for all the passersby to see. 
“Why? What if he likes you back,” he wiggles his eyebrows, and you cringe at him. 
Leave it up to Seokmin to disregard professionalism in the workplace. If anything he was more like your surrogate dad that liked to be filled in on the latest drama. 
“He doesn’t,” you deflate, moving over to clock in and put on your apron. 
You know for a fact that Soonyoung couldn’t like you back, his mind was too preoccupied with much more important things, and some other girl who he doesn’t even know. 
“What are you? A mind reader?” Seokmin teases you, not wanting to see you pretend to be so apathetic.
Of course, you couldn’t read minds, but it was clear that Soonyoung’s interest lay somewhere else.  You don’t even know what to say to Seokmin at the moment, how do you even explain your feelings properly? Yes, you have a teeny crush on your coworker, but that’s all it should be, right? It wouldn’t be realistic to date him. 
The chime of the bell hanging on top of the door breaks your thoughts, “Good afternoon to my amazing boss, and my amazing coworker!”
Soonyoung is practically skipping through the door with delight, and it makes you smile. He always seemed so cheerful coming into work. It warms your heart. 
“Ahh good to see you Soonyoung,” Seokmin smiles, watching his figure disappear into the back. 
He turns to you and makes a face, his eyebrows wiggling while his lips widen into a shit-eating grin. Seokmin can’t help but tease you, he finds it cute that you have a crush on Soonyoung. In all the years that you’ve been working for him, there hasn’t been a time where he’s seen you so smitten over a boy. 
You roll your eyes at him, shooing him away before Soonyoung comes out and realizes why your boss is teasing you. 
… 
Once Seokmin had left, you and Soonyoung were left to fend for yourselves. Although today wasn’t as busy as the last time you were working with each other, it wasn’t a shift with Soonyoung if there wasn’t at least one thing that went wrong. 
You were minding your business, restocking some of the supplies in the storage room. As you were peacefully putting new syrups on the shelves, there was a high-pitched scream coming from the front part of the cafe. Your eyes widen at the sound, and you come rushing to the counter. 
“What happened?!” you stumbled in, your chest heaving as you tried to get to Soonyoung as fast as you could. 
“I-Uh-,” Soonyoung seems to be at a loss for words, you can he the audible gulp before he continues, “there was a spider, and I tried to kill it but I lost it.” 
A wave of relief washes over you as you realize that no one is hurt and the building is not on fire. Your eyes travel to where he’s crouched behind the counter, hands gripping the marble while his eyes peek over to observe the spider crawling across the floor. You can’t help but laugh at how terrified he is over a small insect. Instead of cowering away in fear beside him, you walk over to where the spider had begun to crawl up the leg of one of the chairs. 
“Y/n be careful! You could die if you get stung, and then we would have to call 911, and what if you don’t make it? I’d feel so guilty, I would carry the weight of my guilt as I grow old, we would hold memorials for you–Oh." His sentence comes to an abrupt stop as he sees you grab the spider with a tissue and place it back outside onto the pavement. 
“It was just a daddy long legs, no need to be afraid,” you reassure him. 
Soonyoung sighs in relief before standing up, patting down his clothes to get rid of the imaginary dust. He wipes his forehead as if he were the one to take care of the insect problem. 
“If there’s anything else wrong just call for me, I’ll be in the back,” you announce, hoping that would be the first and last incident for the day. 
Soonyoung nods, giving you a thumbs up as you walk into the back. You let out a breath of relief, giggling to yourself, recollecting the memory of him crouched behind the counter. The redness on your cheeks doesn’t seem to fade at the thought of him cowering over a small spider. 
No matter what Soonyoung does, you can’t help but find him endearing. And when he’s not, you find him undeniably attractive. How does this happen? How does one guy who once annoyed you turn into someone who has you completely flustered? It feels odd falling for someone so fast, and you’re just hoping he’ll feel the same. Especially because no one has had this effect on you before. 
The more you think about your budding feelings for Soonyoung, you’re constantly reminded of the fact that he’s searching for someone he thinks is his soulmate. You’re apprehensive, but at the same time, he might never find her. So what’s the point of trying to fight these feelings knowing you’re competing with someone he isn’t sure even exists? 
˚∗˖⁺⑅ ˖⁺⑅˖◛
There were tingles all over your body. Today was the day of Soonyoung’s dance showcase. Although you were excited to see him in his element, you were still nervous. It’s only been a month since you two met and him working at the cafe, but even then, you still feel like a stranger to his outside life. You weren’t sure why he invited you, but you’re grateful that you’ll be able to witness this side of him. 
As you make your way into the auditorium of his University, you find yourself in awe at the amount of people in the crowd. It was obvious that his dance team was well-liked at his school, causing admiration to bloom within your chest. 
Looking around for a familiar face, you spot Seungkwan and Mingyu sitting in the front row that’s reserved for close friends and family for the people on the dance team. You make eye contact with them, their hands motioning for you to come and sit with them. 
“Y/n! You came, Soonyoung is going to be so excited,” Mingyu exclaims, pulling you into a bone-crushing hug. 
You laugh at how excited he is to see you, your cheeks turning red at the mention of Soonyoung. As you pull away, you say hello to Seungkwan before taking your seat between them. 
The three of you make a little small talk until the lights start to dim and the spotlight glows against the stage. Your heart is beating out of your chest as you spot Soonyoung walking onto the stage. His hair and makeup were styled, his outfit complimenting his muscular arms perfectly. You’re thankful that the background music was loud enough, hoping that neither Seungkwan nor Mingyu heard the enormous gulp you took the moment your eyes laid on their best friend. 
“Good evening everyone! Thank you all for coming to our showcase tonight, I hope you enjoy the performances we prepared,” Soonyoung speaks into the mic, his eyes gleaming under the bright stage lights. 
Your breath is caught in your throat once again, Soonyoung’s confidence exuding from where he stands. He looks so handsome under all the bright lights as if he’s born to be on stage. To dance or to entertain, he has the charisma to make the audience laugh and cheer for him. 
You’re hot in your seat, your hands starting to sweat as he continues to charm the crowd. 
“Everyone has worked so hard for this, and you all get a sneak peek at our performance for the National Dance Competition taking place in Seattle!” He informs the crowd, his smile widening as he unveils his dance troupe's little secret. 
As he walks off stage you can’t help but stare in awe, anticipation swirls in your stomach as the lights start to dim once again. The dancers fill up the stage, indicating the start of the performance and you can see the outline of Soonyoung’s frame from where you sit. 
Soonyoung’s eyes blaze in the stage lights as the spotlight is cast on him. The dancers are behind him in their rightful positions as the music starts to play. With your mouth agape, you watch his body flow with the music. The strong bass of hip-hop flows through the speakers with every move Soonyoung makes along with his dance crew. The rest of the crowd sits there cheering them on while you’re left speechless. 
The serious gaze he holds, as he dances, makes your knees weak, especially because you can tell how passionate he is about his craft. He was made for dancing, born to tell a story with his limbs as they move languidly with the beat of the song. 
As the routine comes to an end you can’t help but feel lucky to see Soonyoung in his element. Far from the man who you’ve witnessed make the most silly mistakes while working, he’s so different on stage. Although you’ve come to appreciate his presence at the cafe, seeing him dance instills a profound sense of pride in your stomach. 
With each passing second the dance routine comes to a close, Soonyoung spots you in the front row as he continues to move on stage. His eyes widen as his gaze sets upon you before sending you a flirtatious wink. He goes back to facing the centre of the crowd, your whole body enveloped in heat. 
The song ends and you’re left sitting there with shocks of electricity passing through your entire body. Your crush on Soonyoung has turned into something deeper. 
Your palms sweat profusely as you stand at the entrance of the auditorium, an almond croissant in one hand and a bouquet of yellow flowers in the other. While you stand and wait for Soonyoung to come out of the dressing room, your mind is filled with thoughts of his performance. The image of him on stage doesn't leave your thoughts, not even for a second. 
“Y/n!” You hear a voice call out for you, pulling you out of your light daydreaming. 
Turning your head in the direction of the voice, your eyes land on Soonyoung, his tall figure making its way over to where you are. Your breath is caught in your throat as your gaze focuses on him. Bareface but his hair still styled, he looked breathtaking.
“Soonyoung! Hi, you were amazing up there,” you tell him breathlessly. 
  He smiles bashfully at your compliment, his cheeks turning red at your appreciation. Soonyoung doesn’t take compliments well as it is, but when it’s coming from you, he becomes even more flustered. The twinkle in your eyes never leaves as you smile at him. 
Pulling you into a hug, your shoulders tense in surprise at his sudden burst of affection, but you don’t hate it. You don’t mind how he likes to express his gratitude towards you. Instead, you embrace it, relaxing as his strong arms hold you close. You don’t ever get tired of how good he smells. Warm, bright, and comforting, like the sun personified.  
“Thank you for coming, you don’t know how much this means to me,” he mumbles while his arms are still wrapped around you. 
Your face buries itself deeper in his chest as you hear him talk, wanting to hide your already burning face from him. He makes you feel like you’re important like he would’ve been disappointed if you didn’t show up tonight. 
Pulling away, Soonyoung smiles at you, the same smile that reaches his eyes in the most adorable way. And then he notices the bouquet of flowers that are held tightly in your grasp. His eyes widen, cheeks red, he’s never received flowers in his life before, but he’s happy you’re the first. 
“Is that for me?” he asks, and you nod shyly, “thank you! You didn’t need to get me something, I invited you remember?” 
“I know but I wanted to thank you for inviting me, think of it as an advanced congratulations when you win the dance tournament next month,” you say as you hand him the bouquet. 
“Also, the croissant is for Chan, I know I promised to get him one,” you add. 
His laugh rings through your ears delightfully, finding it cute that you make good on your promises. Even the smallest things like getting a croissant for his best friend, he admires everything about you. The fact that you’re so earnest and willing to share so much with the people he cares about. He falls for you more as each day passes. 
Soonyoung knows it hasn’t been long since he’s met you, but he doesn’t care. He knows that he likes you, that he wants to take you out, shower you in all his love and affection, and do whatever it takes to see you smile. He doesn’t care about time unless he can spend the rest of it with you. 
˚∗˖⁺⑅ ˖⁺⑅˖◛
When Soonyoung asked to hang out after his dance showcase, you couldn’t help but happily oblige. The way he looks at you, how he shows that he wants to spend time with you makes your stomach flutter. How could one possibly say no to someone like him? 
As you two walk over to his apartment, your palms begin to sweat again, even with the cool Vancouver breeze that flows between you. You think about how close you two have gotten since that first day in the cafe, and you can only smile to yourself. He makes you feel wanted, like there's more between you than just friendly coworkers.
 Although you want to tell him how much you’ve grown to like him, there's a part of you that still holds back, just because of that little comment Chan made all those weeks ago. 
“We’re here!” Soonyoung announces, stepping into the front entrance of his apartment. 
It’s considerably nicer than the one you live in, making you feel slightly intimidated by the high-rise building. You tried not to let it show, but you didn’t fully realize how different you two were until now. He’s outgoing, a ball of sunshine. You tend to prefer living in solace, keeping to yourself whether it be at work or school. 
“Your place is nice,” you comment as your eyes follow the expanse of the building's height. 
“Thank you! Let’s get inside, I think it’s about to start raining,” Soonyoung ushers you in, already noticing the way the clouds start to thicken in the evening sky. 
The ride up to the elevator is peaceful, you two enjoy each other's company in silence while you continue to admire the building. As he leads you to the front door of his apartment, your breath gets stuck in your throat once more. You knew Soonyoung was a stylish individual, but you didn’t think that a person in university had much knowledge of interior design. 
In short, you found his home to be comforting, the furniture and decorations suited his personality perfectly. It felt warm, it felt like a home. 
If only you knew, that Soonyoung was just as nervous as you. His heart beats faster as your eyes look over his apartment. He cleaned it this morning in hopes that you would say yes to coming over. Otherwise it would’ve embodied a pig stye, and he couldn’t have the girl he has feelings for thinking that he was a slob. 
“Your place is beautiful, Soonyoung,” you mumble as you continue to look around. 
“Really?” He acts shy, scratching the back of his head. 
“Yeah! I like it, it suits you,” you turn back to him, flashing him a warm smile that makes his cheeks heat up. 
Soonyoung releases a breath that he didn’t realize that he was even holding, happy to know that your first impression of his home is positive. Usually when he has his friends over they tell him it can get a little messy, especially when Mingyu visits. His best friend is always helping him clean up the place because of his natural tendency to declutter any space he’s in. 
“Do you wanna watch a movie? Or maybe just talk…?” Soonyoung stutters a bit, his head all over the place because the girl he has been crushing on is in front of him. Not while his other friends are around, and not in a workplace setting either. 
He doesn’t know how to act when you’re around, he’s typically not a shy person, but when you’re around all his thoughts fly out the window. 
“Uhm, talking is just fine with me,” you laugh at how red his face has gotten. 
There was an obvious tension in the air and it was hard for you to ignore, but you’re just happy to be alone with him. For once, his friends weren’t here or Seokmin, it was just you and Soonyoung. 
He grabs your hand as if he had no control over his actions, guiding you over to his couch. You two sit there, a little closer than what would be considered friendly for coworkers. His eyes twinkled against the ambient lighting. 
“What did you want to talk about?” you ask innocently, trying to ignore the rising tension between you. 
Soonyoung shies away from your gaze, your eyes becoming the size the saucers the more you stare at him. He wants to tell you how he feels, although he isn’t sure that you feel the same. He wants to take his chance with you while it’s still in front of him. 
“There’s something I’ve been meaning to tell you, and I’m actually really nervous but I just need to say it,” he lets out another puff of breath, trying to calm his nerves. 
The beating in your chest increases with each word Soonyoung says, and you don’t know how to feel. You’re nervous too, but you want to hear what he has to say. You feel his hand over yours, squeezing it softly. He’s not sure whether it's to soothe himself or you, but it's working. 
“I like you, I know we didn’t meet that long ago, but every time I see you I get so happy, and I love how all my friends like you, and you’re just so beautiful, I can’t keep it to myself anymore, but if you don’t feel the same–,” He blurts out, redness crawling up from his neck to his cheeks once again. 
Before you could even register anything past the words ‘I like you’, you pull him into a hug, which is not something normal for you, but Soonyoung is the exception. You can’t help but want to hold him in your arms, your own personal ball of sunshine that has been crafted specifically for you. 
“I like you too,” you whisper in his ear as you hold him close. 
Soonyoung gasped in surprise at your declaration, and you could practically feel him vibrating in his seat with excitement. 
He pulls back from the hug with the biggest smile on his face, eyes brighter than the stars that have been covered by the rain clouds swirling outside his window, “You do?” 
“Yes, I do like you back,” you giggle while intertwining your fingers with his, “but I’ve been holding back ever since that night at the bar.” 
Soonyoung raises an eyebrow, trying to rack his brain as he thinks of every moment that happened between you that night, but nothing comes to mind. 
“Wait why? What happened?” He asks, curious as to why you two have gone this long without confessing to each other. 
“It was something Chan said…” you trail off, staring at how your fingers are laced between his. 
“Fucking Chan,” he curses at his best friend, “what did he say exactly?” 
“Well he didn’t really say anything, but he just asked you a question on the stranger who you’re convinced is your soul mate or whatever,” you shrug your shoulders, trying to act like such a simple thing didn’t torment you for weeks. 
Soonyoung eyebrows raise even more and his mouth forms an ‘O’ shape, and he starts to connect the dots. He didn’t think that would be the reason you hadn’t told him. If anything, he thought it was because he was not very good at his job at the cafe or that you just weren’t sure about your feelings. 
“Oh, that… well I got over it a long time ago. It happened at the front of the cafe, this girl lost her glasses and it was raining and everything. I didn’t see her face because she walked away so fast I didn’t get a chance to act on it.” He recalls the moment between him and the stranger, “I was going in for my interview with Seokmin so I picked up her glasses and gave her my umbrella.” 
Sitting quietly beside him, your heart plummets to the bottom of your stomach. This whole time, the person who helped you on what you considered one of your worst days to date, was Soonyoung? You aren’t even sure what to say but it's almost laughable. As if the universe had known that you two were meant to meet one way or the other. 
“Soonyoung, that was me,” you reveal to him, and his eyes widen. 
“THAT WAS YOU?” He practically jumps out of his seat, hands now placed on your shoulder, inspecting every corner of your face, “now that I think of it, your glasses do look familiar.” 
Bursting out laughing, you can’t believe that he would react in this way. He looks like he’s just been let in on an ancient secret, “to be fair, I didn’t know it was you either, I’m practically blind without my glasses so I didn’t see your face.” 
“Oh my god, we’re meant to be,” he mutters to himself, his hand covering his mouth in shock. 
Soonyoung is elated, to say the least, he gave up on his beautiful stranger the moment he laid his eyes on you. But to find that you are his beautiful stranger. Well, now he knows that he can’t ever let you go. 
“I hope you know we’re locked in for life now,” he stares at you earnestly, taking both your hands in his and you look at him quizzically, “Sorry baby, but we can’t disappoint the universe after all the hard work they put into our love story.” 
You giggle at him, even when it’s just the two of you, he’s just as silly. That's what you like about him though, the fact that he makes you laugh and smile practically on command. You’ve never laughed this hard with anyone before, Seokmin probably being the only exception, but you don’t want to think about your boss right now. 
“Baby? Eager aren’t we?” you tease, and Soonyoung blushes hard, moving away from your peering eyes as he lets go of your hands. 
“I can’t help it, you’ll just have to get used to it,” he shrugs, acting nonchalant, but you can see the way he side-eyes you, wanting to still see your reaction. 
“Does this mean you’ll take me out on dates? And all the other couple stuff,” you whisper in his ear, your hands circling his bicep as he faces away from you. 
“W-well duh! Of course, I’m gonna take you on a proper date, I need to show you how good of a boyfriend I can be!” he exclaims and another giggle slips past your lips. 
Squeezing his muscular arm tighter, you can feel his pulse increasing under your touch, “boyfriend? When did I say anything about you being my boyfriend.” 
Those few words break his act and he turns to you in shock, he looks like a deer in headlights. Soonyoung is embarrassed about how ahead of himself he’s gotten but he doesn’t want to date anyone else either. If you’re not going to become his girl, then he’d rather just give up on dating altogether. 
“I want to be your boyfriend, like really really bad, but only if you’ll let me,” he declares, eyes piercing into your soul with all seriousness. 
Watching his demeanour change once more makes you gulp involuntarily.
“I want to be your girlfriend, like really really bad,” you echo his words. 
Gasping, Soonyoung can’t contain his happiness, pulling you into a tight hug, and showering your cheeks with kisses. Giggling in his arms, your stomach begins to hurt at how much he can make you laugh in such a short amount of time. 
Your body heats up at his affection, feeling the way his plush lips press against your skin. You haven’t felt something like this in a long time, but the fact that it’s Soonyoung makes it better. 
Getting up from the couch you stand in front of him, and he’s confused as to why you pulled yourself away. Did he take it too far by kissing you like that? He can feel the apprehension rising within himself as he stares up at you. 
“Do you wanna show me to your room?” You ask, and Soonyoung has never stood up so fast in his life ever before. 
Taking your hand in his, he leads you to his bedroom. As he opens the door you're met with at least twenty different tiger stuffed animals staring at you. Soonyoung on the other hand isn’t phased at all, if anything, he takes pride in his plushie collection. 
“Do you… collect all of these?” you ask him, and he just smiles and nods. 
You decide to have a conversation about the plushie collection another day, but you do find it cute that he’s into something seemingly harmless. 
Sitting on his bed, he doesn’t take his place beside you right away. Instead, Soonyoung carefully turns each tiger plushie around so that they’re all facing away from his bed. He turns back at your figure sitting on his mattress, a shy smile across his lips. 
“Can’t have them witnessing what we’re about to do y’know,” he giggles before turning the last tiger around. 
Once he is finally done, he jumps into the bed and smothers you tightly in his strong arms. You’re not over the whole tiger thing, but at least he’s happy, you think to yourself. 
“Now where were we?” He looks at you, eyes still glittering even in the dim lighting of his room. 
You shake your head and smile at him, pushing him down so that he's lying with his back against the bed. Each of your legs moves over his hips, hands feeling up his chest. 
Leaning closer, you two share your first kiss, and it’s everything you’ve hoped for. The two of you move together in perfect sync as he grabs your sides tightly. 
“You’re a good kisser,” you mumble against him, and he just smiles as he pulls you into another kiss. 
His hands move lower on your body, your skirt hiking up your thighs as he grips at your flesh. Your skin is so soft, and he can’t get over how sweet your lips taste. Soonyoung knows if he were to miraculously die now, he would die a very happy man. 
Soft moans leave your mouth as he gropes your ass under your skirt, feeling the way your lack of clothes leaves more for him to grasp at. He can’t stop touching you, exploring your body like it’s his and his only to discover. The fact that you even agreed to let him be your boyfriend was enough for him, but also getting laid on the same night, well, Soonyoung could really die a happy man. 
The kiss becomes heated with each second that passes, but Soonyoung just wants to let you know how much he likes you. You invade his thoughts relentlessly, not that he’s opposed to it at all. But he likes the way you smile at him every time he tells you how much he wants to be with you. 
“I’m so happy you’re mine,” he whispers to you, your smile widening even more. 
“I’m happy you’re mine too,” you repeat his words again, giving him the same reassurance he gives you. 
Out of all the people you could fall for, you’re happy it was your clumsy coworker with an oddly large tiger collection. You’re thankful for the fact that out of all the people, he was the one to help you on that rainy day. Even when it’s gloomy outside and the clouds cover every inch of the sun’s rays, Soonyoung still glows under the grey sky. Rain or shine, you want him no matter how good or bad the weather is.

Hi Sel! I’m invested in this so I'm sending you the “✏️". In return, here are my thoughts on you based on what I read (I'm sorry I haven't read the whole COL series, just snippets here and there – and they’re fantastic. It’s on my TBR! I'm just too mentally drained lately and also trying to finish writing my Gojo piece and don't want to accidentaly copy some aspects from you, hope you understand) and general vibes you give off whetener I see you on my page:
What I’d have you to be is a hopeless romantic. Someone whose heart leads the way. You give me huge Lana del Ray vibes with your writing. Someone perceptive and empathetic. Kind soul, caring and understanding, willing to listen and be there. It’d say you value the complexities of human emotions and relationships. 
And, obviously, a crazy talented writer – duh.
(and yes, I’m listening to LDR while writing all this so it might be slightly affected by her)
For reference, I know I’ve been writing mostly smut which doesn’t tell you much and you can ignore this but two works that I truly enjoyed writing from start to finish to are perish (JJK; Gojo angst) and the version of you and me (COD; Price smut, dunno if you read this stuff).
Have a nice weekend!
moni babe!!! thank u for playing 🤍
your writing reminds me of:
🌫️🪵🌊🌕
haze and mist, rich in the way it consumes; fog in the forest; the depths of the ocean, waves crashing unto rocks; a night lit by the moon—super—vibrant orange (nearly red) as it glows in the dark.
&
please don’t apologise for not catching up to col yet omg 🤧 am already really thankful that you’re even interested in it to begin with!! 🥺 you flatter me too much!!! thank you for your compliments on it 🥺 and!! omg!! to say that my heart leads the way—how did you know that!! 😭 ldr is such a gem!! an icon!! i am so flattered my writing gives off her vibes pls 🤧 her rawness!! i aspire!! all the adjectives u used to describe me 🥹 i am tearing up!!! they’re everything i want (and try) to be 🥹 and i do put a lot of importance on emotions and relationships (as a psych grad…) ahhh you’re too sweet!!! thank you thank you thank you!!
i’ve actually been meaning to read that gojo piece!! omg it’s in my drafts 😭 i’ve just been… slow w it… like i am w every other angst piece i plan to read 😭 but i finally got to it!! AAAH (it’s in my queue!! my thoughts will be in the tags 🤭)
have a lovely weekend babe 🤍
send me a ✏️ and i’ll tell you what ~~vibe i get from your writing! (alternatively, you can also tell me what vibe you get from mine!)

PAQUI ONE CHIP CHALLENGE WITH HAIKYUU MSBY BOYS
Haikyuu Atsumu, Bokuto, Hinata, Sakusa X gn!reader
MIYA ATSUMU
He's the shit who started this whole thing I just fucking know
Enthusiastically showing the video of people doing the one chip challenge on youtube
And ofc he's dragging the team to do it
Actually chickens out when he sees the black chip but his ego is too big lol
Shoves the whole thing in his mouth
He honestly doesn't look like he can handle spice well ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ idk
Teary eyes and nose in an instant, he's sniffing so hard like staph! you're gonna get a nose bleed
"Wha- this is nothing, n-not spicy at all.."
Like everyone can see that he's lying
You've warned him about this before cos you KNOW this man couldn't handle the spice he can't even handle his samyang
But you still felt bad for him cos your best boyfriend Atsumu is suffering DUH
Barely made it out alive lol (◔‿◔)
He's 6/10 bcos it's entertaining to watch him but he's snotting everywhere and bonus because he survived the one chip challenge ✅
BOKUTO KOUTARO
So invested in what Atsumu is showing uh-oh someone save him pls
He shaking in excitement ㅠㅠ he's so cute and was really confident he could make it through
Wanted to be recorded too, so you'll willingly be his personal 'cameraman'
Gasped when he saw the black chip and snorts on the seasoning on top lol
Didn't eat the whole chip bcos he's suddenly unsure of himself and thank goodness he didn't eat the whole thing
Man is full on bawling after 15 seconds
"Y/N!! Y/N!! HELP ME I'M DYINGG!!"
SCREAMS at Atsumu for making him eat this horrible chip
You honestly can't stand watching Bokuto like this and scramble to get some milk or ice cream to soothe him "HE NEEDS SUM MILK" sry
Bokuto eating ice cream while crying
Yea no, you're not letting Atsumu drag your precious boyfriend to do shit like this again
3/10 you hate to see Bokuto suffer cos he's so precious and didn't deserved that 😭 Yea he did not survived the chip challenge ❎
HINATA SHOUYOU
Another curious cat 😸 and ofc he's gonna go with whatever Atsumu said
Bokuto 🤝🏻 Hinata (innocently getting dragged in Atsumu's stupid plan)
HE LOVES CHALLENGES like have you seen him in the anime hshshshhs
Was weirded out by the chip?? Like why is it black?? What flavour is this??
Also shoves the full chip in his mouth bcos ofc he loves food (˘⌣˘)
He was so quiet while munching that you were starting to get worried 😫
THIS BABY IS SWEATING BUCKETS like he had played a full tournament
Trying to control his mind that "He can handle this and kageyama could never"
You were at his side looking so worried bcos HINATA MY LOVE, BREATHE FFS!!
His face is the colour of his hair already
*Starts nudging a popsicle in his way because you don't want him to faint lol*
7/10 he did good 👍🏻 he stayed calm (let's ignore the fact that he made you worried) and survived the one chip challenge ✅
Please treat him to a nice desserts shop because he deserves it 🥺
SAKUSA KIYOOMI
UNINTERESTED 👀
Nah cos he's actually intrigued by the chip 'is it that spicy?'
But he's actually so done by Atsumu's shit that he don't wanna be involved
Jokes on him HAH! Did he think that Atsumu is gonna let him escape? NEVER!!
Grimace when he sees the chip like 'Dafawk is that??' ಠ﹏ಠ
Only took a nibble cos he doesn't trust that shit
His whole face immediately turns RED 🍅 cos ykyk he's got a pretty pale skin
"Omi, are you okayy??" "Shut up Y/N." He mumbles in tiny cos DAYUMNN THAT SHIT IS BURNING HIS THROAT
You could practically see smoke coming out of Sakusa that you decided to hand him a bottle of milk (~ ̄³ ̄)~🥛
Believe me when I said that Sakusa is thanking youu 🙏🏻 cos you look like an angel trynna save his life.
Might honestly be his breaking point with Atsumu's plan lol he's scowling as he's trynna soothe the spiciness ಠ_ಠ
1/10 He looks so angry and annoyed he actually is at what Atsumu had put him into lol He also didn't survive the one chip challenge ❎

I just read chapter 3 of dusk til dawn... And the word choice in the last few lines, you are absolutely wicked for that. I love yn's attitude towards Suna too. They're practically mirrors, going ahead and doing things in the name of love. He, willing to hurt others for Iris, and she, willing to get herself hurt for him. 😭 WE'RE ONLY IN THE 3RD CHAPTER BUT I CAN BARELY WAIT FOR THE DRAMA AND THE ANGST AND IT'S GOING TO BE PAINFUL BUT IT WILL HURT SO GOOD 😭😭 I'm already invested in this so so much, I love it 🥺❤️
GASP OMG ANON I LOVE YOU, THANK YOU FOR NOTICING THE DETAILS OF MY WORD CHOICE 😭 when YN asked “do you promise to love me forever?” and Suna answered with “I will take care of you.” LIKE PLS SHUT UP RIN. and yes yes you noticed that too that they’re mirroring each other !! suna is a selfish giver when it comes to iris and YN is a selfless martyr (although she is somewhat selfish in that she’s choosing to hurt herself all because she never wants to let suna go, the same way suna doesn’t wanna let iris go.)
you see, suna and YN both have abandonment issues. but ah thank you so much, there’ll be more drama after the 4th chapter bcos its their wedding next update !!

for a minute there I forgot Hen was supposed to have time off and didn't even notice she wasn't in uniform lol
btw I just love Eddie's haircut this season 😍🔥
oh shit he drove off with Chim 😳😳 and he's fucking drunk 😳 I'm scared lol
I'm sorry, the bicycle song caught me off guard and I'm laughing now 😂😂😂
oh thank fuck he stopped before hitting Buck, I think I stopped breathing for a minute there 😂😂😂
I'm so happy Chim and Buck are okay, they've already been through too much, don't hurt them anytime soon pls 😂😂😂
Christopher's growing up - oh, I can't wait to see Eddie deal with a moody teenager 😂😂 also, I just love that Eddie's talking to his dad - that whole convo was great, the dad was so right
I'm trying to think whether Buck is gonna say yes or no, but I literally can see it go both ways, I can't read him right now 😂
I always get so stressed when there's some random people who are gonna have some kind of emergency, and there are children involved - like, pls don't hurt the kid 😂😂
oh shit this is so horrible and I feel so scared for the kid 😭 shit is mom hurt 😭
oh thank fuck the girl is fine - what about the mom tho, tell me pls 😂😂
yaaaaas, Lizzo! the soundtrack this season is so good tbh 😂😂
"doing nothing is giving me more anxiety than trying to do everything" ain't that a mood lmao
I love that Buck is talking to Hen about this, I love their dynamic 😂 day-drinking and deep conversations, hell yeah 👌
I still don't know which way this is gonna go for Buck tbh
THANK YOU Noah for telling me the girl's mom is okay, I got invested in that short subplot😂😂😂
oh my god I can't believe for a second I forgot about Doug - Maddie's been through all that, it was probably so hard for her on that call😭😭
I know there's an overdose or whatever, but can we take a moment to appreciate Eddie looking so hot and cool in those sunglasses 🥵 oh my god I think I'm spending 90% of Eddie's screen time just thirsting over him 😂😂
a dog?? i knew there was gonna be a dog bc I accidentally saw a tiktok from 911 but never would I think an OD would include a dog lmao
this is such a ridiculous scene i love it so much 😂😂
Hen's drunk and still able to do math in her head and know what to do - she's fucking amazing 😂😂
Eddie is such a good dad, I'm just... God i love him 😂😂 also, love how he and Chris started to communicate on the issue it's so important to talk to your children about stuff (tho I know that sometimes it can be so difficult)
and now I'm crying because Maddie 😭😭😭 I love that resolution to the story 😢
wait, is this still the same day? did Hen come to talk to the professor while still intoxicated? 😂 I hope not lol
YAS HEN!! I'm so happy she got a second chance, she deserves it so much ❤️
oh my god Bobby kept the dog?? 😂 I mean, it's fitting, at least it won't be "an empty nest" 😂😂
BUCK SAID YES??? wow. I really saw it go either way, but it still surprised me 😂😂
well, now I'm excited to see how his story progresses from here
so, I loved the episode and it flew by - Eddie got more screen time and I'm not complaining because I could just look at him doing whatever the whole time and I wouldn't be bored 👀😂😂 - Buck's story was surprising but I'm invested, I can't wait to see how it develops - and Hen can retake the exam!!! I'm so happy for her haha

ohmygod oh mygod oh my god
OMSGDOSMSG HELLO ???? COL ARE YOU ACTUALLY KIDDING ME RN LIKE ACTUALLY WHAT THE FUCK
what a fucking way to start a series ohmygod collie im ob-freaking-sessed
Now, every minute shift in your environment was a potential hindrance to your survival. starting with a memory and jumping right into this ???? holy fuck wow.
Not that any amount of distance would ever make you feel safe. Not from the people who terrified you more than any undead creature could. omg whaaaaat drama 👀 who are they what did we do😭
You went for the adult on your right first, lodging one ax into their neck and spinning behind them to gain momentum to pull it out as your other ax landed on the top of the kid's skull. The second adult barely had time to turn their neck before your blade was lodged inside its cheek. HELLO ??? oh we are so hot okay 😌 look at us wow
Overcome with emotion, the young one jumped forward, wrapping his arm around your middle. You froze, unsure what to do at first, and then your hands rested on his head and his shoulder in some semblance of a comforting gesture. PLEASE- i am sorry but the amount of touch starved is like personal to me i have to laugh we're a mom now how cute <3 they're good ages this is fine
There was no arm to require the extra fabric, apparently. Not that he needed any extra strength to hold you in place. I'm literally 😵💫😏🤭 head full <3 my one armed zombie killing dirty daddy <3 id do anything for him idc idc
Your heart broke into a million pieces, but you refused to let Bucky see tears well in your eyes. However, you could have sworn that you caught his murderous expression soften for a fraction of a second at AJ’s distress. please no this is exactly how i felt when i read it😭😭 he's just a lil baby pls i love aj & cass collie if you hurt them i will have no choice but to hurt you as well. BUCKY IS A SOFT GRUMPY BABY AWEEEEEE
“That depends,” you said. “Does staying with you mean this beefcake is going to keep a blade on me at all times? Or will I be able to, like, eat, sleep, and pee without risking getting my neck sliced open.” BEEFCAKE BEEFCAKE BEEFCAKE!!!!!!!!!!! I LOVE SGSKSKSNHSKS I AM SCREAMING PLEASE YES AS SHE SHOULD GO OFF GIRL QUEEN PUSSY BOSS 🥰
It had been so long since you were wanted. Since someone cared about you. Not your body, not the blood flowing through your veins. this is so incredible shut the fuck up. god tier writing.
Instead of feeling fear or anger, you felt heat. OH ? WE FEELING SPICY ALREADY 😏🤭👀 can't say i blame her though bc I'd do it all for grumpy dirty beefcake
He was so close, so close to you, and yet some insane part of you felt the urge to move closer. It must have been your insanity that made you hallucinate his eyes flashing to your lips for a millisecond before meeting yours once again. shut up its only the first chapter I literally cannot fucking handle this im vibrating you stop that
“Whatever you say, sweetheart,” he said, the sweetness in his voice coated with disdain. Then, he turned back around and began to seamlessly climb the rope. shutup i will !!!!! omsfdksosng
It may be a kindness to leave these people be, but it would be a crime to prove Bucky right. so true we cannot let him have the satisfaction
no stop im experiencing collie i can not
no you are so sick and twisted for this im in love already omg i can't wait for the next chapter i have so much to say 😩
i know she won't tell them abt her other camp when they get there in fear they'll make her leave before she's even inside right they definitely like try and get nice w beefcake just to join camps right and then shit goes down or is that too twd for you ONSGDKSH I am invested okay and my twd phase was HUGE the first Fandom i was ever in wow you're bringing me back to my roots 🥲

Tumblr media
It was raining.
Somewhere, deep in the back of your mind, a flash of a memory brought you back to the days when you could sit by an open window, inhaling the smells from outside made that much sweeter by the rain. The pine scent from the evergreens that surrounded your home was sharper, the aromas from the flower garden just below you wafted upwards, making your bedroom smell like lilacs.
If you were lucky, your mom would have made hot chocolate, walking it over to you and sitting beside you within the alcove in your room, the two of you watching the rain in silence, allowing the sounds of droplets create a symphony with the different surfaces it fell upon.
But that was just a memory. A time when you could simply observe the weather and appreciate it with very little thought.
Now, every minute shift in your environment was a potential hindrance to your survival.
Rain was no longer just rain.
It was a sound you could hide behind, a substance that could wash away your footprints.
It was a lubricant that made climbing more difficult, a resistance added to your steps as you trudged through the thick mud.
Still, even as you sat atop an oak tree, eyes scanning the area for any signs of movement, the faint taste of chocolate lingered on your tongue.
Five years of this desolate life, and still those happy memories managed to poke through.
The snap of a twig caused your head to whip over to your right, eyes narrowing as you tried to focus through the wall of raindrops to the brush below.
It took a few seconds, but then you saw them.
There were three. Two adults and one kid, dragging their deteriorating bodies along. The rainfall was loud enough to create a reprieve for you from the horrific moaning sounds that continuously fell from their skeletal mouths.
Zombies.
You shifted on the branch ever so slightly to hide from them. Their gazes remained downward as they slowly walked down the wooded path, and you were grateful for the fact that you had just applied a fresh layer of moss to your skin.
They were twenty feet ahead of you now, gaze still focused on a nonexistent destination.
Just a few more minutes and they would be gone, and then you could continue moving.
It still wasn’t safe yet. You needed to put more distance between you and them.
Not that any amount of distance would ever make you feel safe. Not from the people who terrified you more than any undead creature could.
“I will always find you.”
You swallowed the lump in your throat, forcing your breathing to remain steady.
Just when they stepped out of sight, another twig snapped.
Right below you.
Your head shot down, hand tightening around the hilt of your handaxe ready to strike.
But then your eyes widened, your mouth dropped open, and your heart stopped as you saw the source of the sound.
Kids. Two boys.
Alive.
They looked up at you, hands gripping the bark of the tree in panic.
The younger boy let out a small whimper, and you nearly jumped the 20 feet down from your spot to clamp your palm over his mouth, but it was too late.
You looked back ahead, and sure enough, there they were, bodies hobbling to what they hoped was their next meal.
“Fuck,” you breathed out, releasing your hold from the handaxe and grabbing the branch below.
The boys jumped back as you landed onto the muddy surface, their arms now grasping one another instead of the trees. The younger one looked like he was on the verge of sobbing and you slowly raised your pointer finger to your lips.
The older boy nodded in understanding, covering the younger one’s mouth.
You closed your eyes, hands moving to your side as you held onto the hilts of both axes, taking a long, deep breath as you forced your ears to block out the rain and listen for the terrifying groaning that approached.
On the exhale, your eyes shot open and you turned to run at them.
You went for the adult on your right first, lodging one ax into their neck and spinning behind them to gain momentum to pull it out as your other ax landed on the top of the kid's skull. The second adult barely had time to turn their neck before your blade was lodged inside its cheek.
They were on the ground, unmoving as you panted, securing the weapons to your sides once more. 
Then, you returned your attention back to the boys, who had stepped away from the tree, staring at you.
The older one opened his mouth to speak but you shook your head, finger going back to your lips and his mouth clamped shut.
You walked back to them, grabbing them both by the shoulder and ushering them back to behind the tree. 
After stepping back to do a quick scan of the perimeter, you looked back, face inches from theirs.
“Are you hurt?” They shook their heads. “Have you…have you been bitten?”
Their eyes widened as the head shaking grew more frantic. Then, they rolled up their sleeves and pulled the collars of their shirts, proving that there were no marks on their skin.
You nodded, letting out a sigh of relief. “Are you alone? Do you have people watching over you?”
The younger one’s bottom lip trembled as the older one whispered out, “We lost Momma and Bucky a few hours ago. There was a raid and we got separated.”
Fuck, you thought instead of saying out loud. “Do you have any idea where you last saw them?”
They shook their heads again.
Finally, the younger one was no longer able to contain himself as he quietly sobbed out, “Will you help us find Momma?”
You bit the bottom of your lip. It had been years since you had been part of a crew, when a betrayal put a target on your back and put you in a prison that made you desperate to escape to where the undead lurked.
Since you had finally managed to break free weeks ago, you’d been on your own. You preferred it that way. It was easier to be alone. 
Less people to worry about, less people to worry for.
It was that mindset that had you considering saying to the boys good luck and goodbye. Maybe if you gave them a spare blade they could stand a chance until someone alive might find them.
But then you saw the wetness on the young one’s cheek switch from rainwater to tears, and your body sagged in defeat.
“Yeah. I’ll get you to your mom.”
Overcome with emotion, the young one jumped forward, wrapping his arm around your middle. You froze, unsure what to do at first, and then your hands rested on his head and his shoulder in some semblance of a comforting gesture.
“I’m Cass,” the older boy said. “This is my brother AJ.”
You nodded. “Cass. AJ. I’m Y/n.” Pulling back you rubbed AJ’s head with a small side-smile, and you were surprised how much your heart swelled when he smiled back. 
That’s when you realized you were going to do anything and everything these two kids asked of you. “So, which way did your momma-”
Your words died in your throat as your ears picked up a sound nearby. 
Lifeless, dragging moans.
A lot of them.
More walkers, headed in your direction.
You looked to the wide-eyed faces of the boys, grabbing their hands and pulling them along. “Come on, and be quiet,” you whispered.
You started jogging to the right, careful to make sure the pads of your feet landed on the ground as quietly as possible, eyes scanning the area for any type of landmark you could hide in.
The moans grew softer and softer as you ran, and you felt a pit in your stomach start to diminish. They couldn’t catch up, meaning they didn’t have a fast one in their pack.
Those ones could have reached you easily, especially at the slowed pace with the boys.
Finally, about half a mile later, you noticed a large cliff with different jagged rocks sticking out, and some were structured together in a way that looked like they were caves.
It wasn’t awesome, but it would have to do. You could feel the boys starting to drag.
Once you reached the base of the rocks, you linked your fingers together and lowered them, gesturing to Cass to step on and climb up. Once he reached a flat point, you did the same for AJ, and Cass grabbed his younger brother’s arm to help him make it all the way up. 
You turned your head, listening for any signs of approaching zombies. It was quiet, but you didn’t want to test your luck.
With that, you hoisted yourself up the rock to Cass and AJ. Now that you were higher up, you noticed some deep crevasses further ahead and climbed over to hide within one of them.
The three of you huddle down, your arms wrapped around them while they clung to you, their breath shaky, tears streaming down their faces.
You wanted to tell them it was okay, that they were fine. But you couldn’t. You needed to keep quiet in case those walkers caught up.
Also, you didn’t actually know if you were okay.
After thirty minutes or so without hearing anything, you deemed the area safe, slowly moving up to stand, gesturing to the boys to stay where they were while you inspected your surroundings.
The rain had stopped, making it easier to listen for any alarming sounds, which you couldn’t detect. You looked up to the sky, now cloudless, noticing that the sun was starting to set. It would be dark soon. 
You thought for a moment. It was possible that you could continue on and cover more ground, and maybe you could find Cass and AJ’s camp before nightfall.
Or, you had run in the completely opposite direction and this might be the only semi-safe space you would find today.
If it had just been you, you would have gone with the more reckless option.
But now you had two small humans to look after.
With that, you walked back to the boys and told them you were going to camp out here for the night and head out first thing tomorrow. They both nodded, but you caught AJ’s bottom lip tremble.
The kid can’t be older than eight, you thought, heart breaking. Unable to control yourself, you stepped forward, pulling them both in for a hug.
“I promise I’ll do my best to keep you safe. I’ll get you back to your momma, okay?”
You felt them nod against your shoulders.
After a few moments, you pulled away and grabbed your bag, taking out the thin blanket you kept packed in there and wrapping it around them.
“Stay here,” you told them, zipping up the bag and putting it around your shoulders. “I’m going to try to find us some food. Cass, I’m putting you in charge until I get back.”
Cass’s chest puffed up, and he bobbed his head up and down. You gave them a reassuring smile before making your descent back to the ground.
It had been a while since you had traveled with anyone, and it surprised you how quickly you felt overwhelming worry and dread for the boys the further you got from them. You hoped this would be a quick trip and you could find some consumable mushrooms or a squirrel.
In the end, you settled for a pocket full of berries you deemed safe to eat. Luckily, you had left your canteen open while hiding in the tree earlier during the rain, so you had enough water to get you through tomorrow at least.
It was almost pitch black by the time you returned to the rock wall, and you smiled as you let out a sigh of relief knowing you were soon going to be reunited with your young companions.
Just as you raised your right hand against the hard surface to begin climbing, you heard an almost imperceptible shuffling sound behind you. Before you could turn around to see what it was, something had grabbed onto your wrist, pulling it down and shoving your body against the rock.
You let out a soft oof from the impact, using all of your strength to try to get out of this hold, but the arm against your back was immovable.
Hot air brushed against your ear as you heard a gruff, venomous voice whisper, “Where are they?”
“Who the fuck are you?” you whispered back, still trying to break out of the man’s grip.
Suddenly, you were spinning, and then your back was slamming against the hard surface.
And you were face to face with your attacker.
Years of surviving outside made it so that your eyes could see just as well in the darkness as it could in the light, and you were able to make out the giant man who towered over you.
His hair was cropped short, unkempt scruff covering his face. His right hand held a dagger up against your throat as his bottom lip curled up in a snarl.
You looked to his left, and noticed the sleeve to his blue henley was cut and sewn together at the shoulder.
There was no arm to require the extra fabric, apparently. Not that he needed any extra strength to hold you in place. 
“I’m not gonna ask again,” he said, his breath now hitting your cheeks. “Where. Are. They.”
“They’re here! I got them!” another voice called quietly from above you. The man’s eyes shot up from yours and you both looked to see a woman peering over the edge of the rock, Cass and AJ on either side of her.
“Don’t hurt her Bucky!” AJ cried out, and the woman covered his mouth to shush him.  
“She saved us from a pack of walkers earlier and was trying to bring us home!” Cass whisper-yelled in agreement.
Bucky’s jaw tightened, and his venomous gaze met yours. “We can’t trust outsiders,” he said, loudly enough for Cass to hear but you knew the message was aimed toward you.
“Buck, settle down,” the boys’ mom chastised, her tone filled with relief. “They’re here and they’re safe. Let’s just go home.”
AJ wiggled out of his mom’s hold. “Y/n is coming with us, right?” he begged.
Bucky shook his head, opening his mouth to say something but you spoke first. 
“AJ, I think it’s best for you and Cass to go back with your mom and Bucky,” you said, narrowing your eyes at the man who had reinvented the term of being stuck between a rock and a hard place. “I’ll be fine on my own.”
“No,” AJ wailed, now beginning to sob. “You have to come with us! We need to keep you safe!”
Your heart broke into a million pieces, but you refused to let Bucky see tears well in your eyes. However, you could have sworn that you caught his murderous expression soften for a fraction of a second at AJ’s distress.
“She’s good, Bucky,” Cass said, and you were amazed at how adult the young boy sounded in this moment. “She risked her life to save us when she didn’t need to.”
Silence.
Then, “Y/n?” the woman from above called out and you looked up, feeling the blade scrape against your throat. “We have a small camp. It’s well-protected, with a lot of good people who are willing to risk their lives for one another. It’s hard for us to trust newcomers to invite them to stay, but-”
“Sarah, don’t,” Bucky bit out.
“-But you saved my boys, and I don’t know what else I can do to thank you but offer whatever protection we can provide. As long as you’re willing to do the same for us.”
You looked back down at Bucky, who was shaking his head, eyes pleading.
The more his composure was breaking, the more you were able to see behind those eyes. And suddenly, the large, pissed off man before you was just a scared boy.
You’d be lying if you said you weren’t just as terrified.
It would be the right thing to do, to say no. To stay on your own and continue running from the living demons that refused to stop hunting you down. Setting roots anywhere meant that you were not only putting a target on your back, but theirs. It would be selfish to expose these people to the dangers that went beyond the undead.
You couldn’t let them find you or anyone else.
But…
“Please, Y/n,” AJ begged. “You have to stay with us. Please.”
It had been so long since you were wanted. Since someone cared about you. Not your body, not the blood flowing through your veins.
Just. You.
“That depends,” you said. “Does staying with you mean this beefcake is going to keep a blade on me at all times? Or will I be able to, like, eat, sleep, and pee without risking getting my neck sliced open.”
The boys let out soft giggles and Bucky’s eyes widened with shock before narrowing. Were the corners of his mouth twitching?
“Bucky,” Sarah said, “Let her go. She’s fine.”
He stared at you for a few seconds, unmoving, and you set your jaw, raising your chin in defiance. 
With one last shake of his head, he loosened his grip, stepping back from you. You rubbed a hand over your neck.
“We’re too far from camp to get there safely in the dark,” Sarah said. “This spot looks safe enough to stay until dawn.”
“I scavenged some berries that y’all are welcome to,” you said, glaring at Bucky when he scoffed.
“That’s great, thank you, Y/n,” Sarah said, then ushered the boys back to your little camp above.
You were about to start your ascent back up when Bucky grabbed your arm, spinning you around until you faced him, the two of you only inches apart.
Instead of feeling fear or anger, you felt heat.
“If you do anything, anything,” he threatened between clenched teeth, “To put one of them in danger, you’ll be wishing one of them flesheaters got their hands on you first.”
He was so close, so close to you, and yet some insane part of you felt the urge to move closer. It must have been your insanity that made you hallucinate his eyes flashing to your lips for a millisecond before meeting yours once again.
But then, thankfully, your wits returned and you smirked.
“Save your threats for those who are actually trying to kill you, beefcake.” He scowled at the pet name you had apparently given him. “As intimidating as I may seem, there’s much scarier shit out there. Scarier than you, so excuse me for not falling victim to your threats. You don’t scare me, you just annoy me.”
Then, Bucky did the one thing you never expected.
He laughed. A low, grizzly chuckle that vibrated the parts of your body connected to his, then he clicked his tongue as he pulled away from you, moving toward the rock wall.
Though the man before you had done literally nothing to earn your sympathy, realization of his missing arm caused you to feel an unshakable urge to offer to help him climb up the wall.
Before you could say anything, Bucky reached down to his right hip, pulling out a small metal grappling hook attached to a thick piece of rope.
You watched him toss the hook up the cliff to where Sarah and the boys were, pulling it taught to make sure it was secure.
Then, he placed his right foot against the rock, turning back to you with a grin.
“Whatever you say, sweetheart,” he said, the sweetness in his voice coated with disdain. Then, he turned back around and began to seamlessly climb the rope.
You watched him in awe, eyes glued to his back muscles as they carried his body up.
It was then that you realized you were alone at the bottom of the cliff. You turned to look over your shoulder into the unending forest.
You could run, you thought to yourself, hand moving up to your stomach, rubbing over the indentations. You could try to get as far away from them as possible. It would be a kindness.
But then you looked back to Bucky, who had made it up the cliff, and was now leaning down, his right arm extended down to you.
He raised his eyebrows questioningly, as if able to sense all of the doubt running through your mind, as if expecting you to run.
It may be a kindness to leave these people be, but it would be a crime to prove Bucky right.
So with that, you reached up the rock wall and grabbed his hand.
