[lueurjun]

shy soobin as your boyfriend

shy bf! soobin x reader — loving soobin hours rn majorly<3 in which soobin is completely and utterly enchanted and captivated by you, enamored with all that you are.

oh you lucky lucky gorgeous specimen

he is fr the perfect man but ur just as perfect so you know what? MATCH MADE IN HEAVEN

the way you met is pretty standard

you worked at the barista he liked to visit frequently

he visited the coffee shop twice a day just to see you

and you had no idea that he thought u were a lil cutie patootie so you were a little concerned by his caffeine intake

he would stay and have like 3 cups each visit just so he could see you for as long as possible

most of the time he would be trying to work up the courage to say something other than his order but he couldn’t get the confidence

and despite you being concerned for his health, you lowkey HIGHKEY got excited everytime he came in because he was just so???

perfect

like you’re sure you heard wedding bells the first time you saw him

it’s okay babe so did the rest of us

we’re all a little delulu for soobin

anyways one day you’ve had enough

running off like two hours of sleep, the delirium kicks in and you have a massive burst of confidence

so you write your phone number on the cup for his final order which is to go

and soobin doesn’t notice until he gets home and taehyun spots the number on the side

“who in their right mind decided to give you their phone number? are they okay? why would they want you?”

soobin’s kinda like ??

because first of all RUDE of taehyun to attack him like that unprovoked

and second of all WHY IS THERE A PHONE NUMBER ON HIS CUP

from what he saw, you were the only one on shift making his drinks so??

it had to be from you

omg. the poor boy nearly goes into cardiac arrest

because wtf does he do now? he can’t just text you

what if it’s an accident?

there’s no way he can embarrass himself like that

so he decides to leave it despite the agonising ache to do anything but that

once he’s out of the room taehyun’s little shit mode is activated

soobin may not have the confidence to text you

but he sure does

‘hi. is this the girl from the coffee shop?”

honestly your heart shits itself

because you totally were not expecting him to text you back

‘yeah. sorry if this is weird and unprofessional. you can totally get me fired- i mean-i’d like prefer you to not but you totally can… i’m not a creep though… i promise’

you totally nailed that babes

definitely didn’t come across as a creep

already taehyun ships it and decides he has to play matchmaker because he already knows you’re perfect for soobin

so he sets the two of you up on a date

soobin damn near cries when he finds out an hour in advance

“a date? what? i don’t know how to do that”

poor boy is STRESSED

but much to his surprise, he doesn’t totally mess things up

the date actually goes smoothly and he leaves you with a kiss on the cheek after setting up a second date

you both squeal when you part ways

you’re both so cute pls get married

lemme be your maid of honour

ONTO THE RELATIONSHIP BC THIS IS ALREADY LONG IM VERY SORRY

boyfriend soobin is straight out of a book istg

he’s so awkward but in the best way??

like he’s not afraid to show you affection and tackle you with love

but the second you do something as simple as kiss his cheek

BLUSHING STUTTERING MESS

you have him wrapped around your pinky finger

honestly you could probably tell him to jump into a river and he most likely would without any questions

follows behind you like a lost puppy despite towering over everything

holding onto the tips of your fingers letting you drag him along

fancy dinners happen but the two of you are more order in and play mario kart

he’d probably let you win the first few times but the second you gloat about it

nah he’s playing like there’s 100k on the line

BACK HUGS BACK HUGS BACK HUGS

BACK MF HUGS

he loves snuggling into your neck and inhaling your scent. it calms him down for sure

you do this thing where you gently slide your hands up the back of his shirt

AND HE GIGGLES EVERYTIME

silently sharing his food and drink with you

he just holds the straw or food to your mouth without saying anything

whenever he buys you flowers, he takes one out and keeps it for himself so he knows when it’s time to replace them

you also love buying him flowers

he gently didn’t know what to do with himself the first time you did it

“these are for me? no way- you didn’t-babyyy”

can you hear my cries?

sliding down the wall rn

his instagram is pretty much a y/n fan page

like genuinely his feed is just you

visits you during work and spends half of the time flirting with you and the other half stuttering over his sentences because you threw a compliment at him

also your concerns for his health lessened once you realized he only drank that much caffeine just because he wanted to see you

if anyone tries to flirt with him, he’ll incorporate you into the conversation

the other person will just be stood there whilst he rants about all of the things he loves about you

it’s a reflex. he just loves you sm

taehyun can’t tell whether he’s happy for you both or genuinely disgusted

“the happiness i caused for you both makes me severely sickened.”

cue beomgyu popping up like “ALSO WRITING YOUR NUMBER ON HIS COFFEE ORDER? REALLY Y/N? THATS SO LAME”

they’re super happy for you both tho they just won’t admit it

you and soobin are in your own little love bubble

two hopelessly in love puppies who are destined to be together

absolutely adorable.

bolin with y/n that doesnt want or barely rests!! (me rn)

،، 𝓝ight Owl ; Bolin

request guide | masterlist

resume: where Bolin is calling for you.

content warning: pure fluff ; Bolin x gn!reader ; no nation nor bending status mentioned ; no use of y/n

wc: 0.8k

a/n: this one is funny bc i, too, can't sleep at decent hours. im sorry this is too short:( i tried to get it as long as possible. THANK YOU FOR REQUESTING, LOVE, ENJOY <3

“ I'm facing a dilemma tonight, look around, I'm trapped in silence.

‍ ‍ ‍ ‍‍ “Honeyyy!” sounded all the way to the living room where you found yourself at that moment. “Come to bed already!”

The image of a Bolin tucked in your shared bed and screaming at you asking for your presence on the room made you giggle, but it didn’t convince you enough to look away from your current task.

It was late at night, you knew it by the almost non-existent sound of cars and people outside the building your boyfriend and you lived at, but it didn't matter since you hadn't finish what you started and if there was something you two were sure about was how determined you were at the time of beginning a task, you needed to finish it in the same day or there would be problems.

The sound of the earthbender's steps coming near you made you turn your gaze to the frame of the door were he was standing now, pouting and with his eyebrows a little bit furrowed.

‍ ‍ ‍ ‍‍ “Excuse me, but I believe it's past your bed time.” he said, crossing his arms on his chest. “You may accompany back to bed or we will use force.”

‍ ‍ ‍ ‍‍ “I'm not sleepy!” you defended yourself, pouting back at him. “I just had this big cup of coffee and I'm set to stay up all night, baby.”

Green eyes blinked astonished. “You leave me no choice, owl.”

Before you could protest anything else, big arms trapped you by the torso as Bolin threw you to his shoulder and made his way back to the bedroom. Most of the time that would be fun for you and it would made you feel a hurricane of emotions in your stomach, but at that exact moment it just annoyed you a little bit.

You weren't kidding when you said you didn't feel any type of tiredness in your system, but Bolin just didn’t care at all, he knew if you overworked yourself the results of it would be a very unstable you fighting for your life against a burnout and the earthbender loved you in such amount that just the thought of you feeling anything other than happiness and loved made him sick.

Now on bed, strong arms hugged your waist from behind to keep you laying with him. While he was already beginning to snore, your mind was going a thousand a second thanks to the caffeine and the bother of your unfinished task.

‍ ‍ ‍ ‍‍ “I feel you trying to get away.” a hoarsely murmur came from him, making your hand stop from moving his arm with such slowness that you thought he wouldn't notice.

‍ ‍ ‍ ‍‍ “Bo, I just need to finish this, I swear it would be fast.” you whispered back, almost begging.

‍ ‍ ‍ ‍‍ “Honey, we can get up earlier to finish it, I want you to rest. You deserve it.” he fought back, even if you didn’t see him, you knew he had a frown.

‍ ‍ ‍ ‍‍ “Bolin, please.” now you begged, not receiving any answer for a couple moments made you feel down at the thought of not finishing what you were so eager to see the results.

When you were about to try and get up again, Bolin's arms just let you go and he switched on his side. Turning to face him you saw how your boyfriend was standing up from bed and putting on his slippers.

‍ ‍ ‍ ‍‍ “I'll help you,” he offered after thinking for a bit. “So you'll finish faster and we can sleep, how does it sound?”

Your heart felt warm, you couldn’t love him more. You were so fast to stand up with him and get close to leave a sweet kiss on his lips, he blushed thanks to the action, but gladly reciprocated and smiled after distancing, both of you going back to the living room by the hand.

Bolin had thought of it and had decided if he couldn’t get you to rest without finishing your work, he would join you and even help you to lift a bit of weight off your shoulders. The earthbender adored you to the point of sacrificing his own sleep schedule just to help you however he could, you stayed awake even after he fell asleep like a rock as soon as you finished your work and went back to bed with him just watching your boyfriend sleep with his mouth a bit open and a thread of saliva coming down his cheek, thinking how you won the lottery with him.

He did wake up at noon the next day saying how he lost his ability to stay up late, you would completely tease him with that from now on.

i just realized that i never actually made a whole analysis on 4-4N?? i technically did in first art post i made of the level last november, but the actual original post had it and i. cant find the rambles on it anymore 💀 so i decided i might as well start fresh and share my thoughts without keymashing every two sentences (unskippable cutscene under the cut <3)

i like to think that the “you can be my muse, ill write these songs for you” line from att is a parallel of sorts, in murmurs being from nicoles perspective instead. i mean cole is the whole reason she even picked up her guitar again, and she doesnt play it just because shes inspired since she even thinks about playing FOR him judging by her dialogue which is. crying rn im still not over that because GIRL

with the whole thing about night shifts "being part of the story but not really" im kinda bothered about murmurs being a night shift since what happened might not be brought up later in the story 😭 if it somehow does tho, im thinking of a buildup to a hypothetical 2-XN where its mostly from nicoles perspective

like being a parallel to 2-X with her being the lead singer and the instrumental having her signature acoustic instead. or partly acoustic with coles edm, since most night shifts are supposed to harder counterparts and i dont know how an acoustic boss fight would work lol (actually mental image of nicole beating us up with her guitar that would be funny)

the line "at least i hope you will be" at the very end of att is mostly sung by her, and from what i can gather it seems like shes pretty hesitant or just unsure that cole is the one who could help her get through her addiction. i also noticed that the after clear dialogue has cole (indirectly) talking about nicole being his inspiration instead of having to rely on caffeine, though nicole doesnt say the same thing about her smoking, and im gonna be honest if there was a 2-XN i would love to see her admit it too 😭😭😭

lmao this basically turned into a 2-X ramble but anyways im going back to crying over midterms i just wanted to post this before i forget again wbhwbhuwubhw

[thetimecrystal]

OKAY SO (i guess im info dumping on you about wrestling today hi thanks for letting me be here ;; 💜)

you saw the part of jay getting his ass kicked backstage at the very end of last night. so this is what happened earlier in the show (jay comes in around six minutes in but the rest is relevant, its a lot and its confusing i know sorry) (also watching this from the beginning yeah i think the first half a minute explains everything actually lmao but anyways)

short version; the champion here, mjf, is the man that occasionally wears the devil mask seen at the end of the show. and jay is obviously getting him very riled up here, so 1+1 is easy to put together, right?

the very unfortunately long version of this all;

we dont think its actually mjf in the devil mask attacking jay tho. first of all cause the physique of the man in the mask doesnt match up with him (mjf is built like a small shit brick house, wide shoulders and neck, this man in the mask has none)

but also cause i think the collective thought rn is that someone is trying to frame him for this. for potentially a lot of different reasons

so going back to the video. it opens with mjfs one friend, his best friend, adam cole. we then introduce the other people who are important to this overall story, roderick strong (the very whiny man in the wheelchair, its. its a long story), and the kingdom, all who are former friends of coles. basically roddy is mad that mjf is coles new best friend and hes been playing a jealous ex the past few months trying to break them up, and kingdom is backing him up cause mjf is a terrible person at best and a liar at worst so they dont think this friendship with cole is genuine (the thing is, cole is very much known for being someone that betrays his close friends so.. its a whole huge deal going on dont worry about it lmao. im also avoiding the extra details of cole and mjfs friendship cause theres. so much there to explain we will be here forever and the rest is irrelevant to this point rn)

why im bringing them up, is cause its highly possible they are the group that staged the attack on jay backstage, to frame mjf. not only to get jay and his group to target him, but also to put cole on notice that hey. your "best friend" is still an asshole look what hes doing the minute you are gone from the building

there is another potential reason behind the attack but its much less likely and i dont think i have the spoons rn to explain two different variations of bullet club and the backstory of jay white LMAO but heres. at least something? i hope this makes sense im very overhyped on caffeine right now ajsndjkansjda love you 💜

oh my g o d. saying this very lovingly, what the fuck is going on over there? as someone else hyped up on caffeine rn, i get what you're meaning =3

also thank you so much for taking time out of your day to explain this, love you lots 💖💖

[mangoposts]

OMG okay so im the anon who’s from NJ who wishes we could be friends irl. i’m gonna mention all of the things i’ve posted as an anon:

i’m the one that had that interaction with the girl who’s tiktok i commented on complimenting her and she just liked it without saying thank you, i’m also the anon who said the thing about nick using the exclamation point and people think he’s being a bitch just because he used it when he was simply making a statement. as well as the anon who said that simply stating you don’t like the intro due to its vibe vs hating is different. i’m also the anon who said why are people wasting time on what ava says when she’s like 16 and that i barely notice when they don’t use the intro LMFAO. i’m also the anon that said i like sunny warm rain and nice showers. it’s deadass like a monsoon out here and i actually hate it. AND im the one that said alahna is like 20/21 taking money from children and that she’s just upset because she felt as though she wasn’t being treated as a priority while the triplets were in la even though they stay in contact with their friends from back home and that she’s jealous.

and now a story time from today: i went to bed at like 5:30am and woke up at 9:30am because my other brother needed a ride to the bank and i didn’t have time to make my matcha, so i had absolutely no caffeine whatsoever. i stopped at walmart and bought two redbulls, the tropical and the strawberry apricot. it was my first time trying the strawberry apricot and i can gladly say it is my new favorite flavor, so thank you very much.

ALSO YOU LIKE BEABADOOBEE AND LANA?! I FUCKING LOVE BOTH OF THEMMMMM

OMG I LOVE THIS😭😭😭😭🙏🙏🙏 Im so glad u like it i literally go crazy without them i need one rn

I love them both very much 😇 They’re my fav for more chill music

[whmp]

in case you're just here for the good stuff, i'll be tagging my personal ramblings as #whmpersonal so you can avoid em BUT this is tangentially related to the game project i'm working on, so stick around i guess? tl;dr: i'll probably make a more coherent post where I ask ppl for help (especially artists). also, i'll be more attentive and answer your asks faster, hopefully. : )

anyway, after a bit of a "review" of my creative process (and i guess my uhh way of living in general?) i've noticed that it's a huge clusterfuck. and that it has been since i was a kid. without some external pressure or an imposed structure (like deadlines, parents or strongly worded emails) i just sort of relied on random surges of productivity to carry me through life. on one hand, it's kinda fun: most of the time i'm not doing anything valuable and then all of a sudden i condense weeks worth of work into several sleepless days during which i feel like An Immortal Unstoppable God. lighting bolts shoot from my fingertips, my eyes glow in the dark, and my caffeine-to-blood volume ratio is hovering around 1.

unfortunately, it's not really sustainable. the "not doing anything valuable" stage that takes up most of my time is not me just chilling. it's me freaking the fuck out about not doing anything despite wanting to and finding myself just. not able to. not to mention that some things just need minor, but constant maintenance - at best i'd just forget about them and face the consequences later on. at worst i'd be acutely aware of them while procrastinating, clueless as to what's wrong with me.

couple that with a couple other unhealthy habits, a microscopic attention span and wow, i fit like all the criteria for adhd. i gotta admit i was super sceptical at first when doing any research, since, well. how the fuck am i even supposed to gain any unbiased insight into this. anyway, i spent a stupid amount of money on an official diagnosis (seriously why is this not covered by insurance gsygx), it took a million meetings and tests and i get a piece of paper that says i have add and deserve some medication.

this has also made me realize that i'm spread out super thin when it comes to projects. i love every single one of them, but im going to have to be a bit more realistic in terms of what can remain in "when it's done" limbo and what needs a bit of a push. the whump game is unique in that it's not just me who wants this to eventually get released. so! what this means is that it needs a proper, project structure. not a .txt on my desktop where i keep a backlog of missing features. but must important of all, it needs ~*people*~. this is the first time i took a step back and estimated how much time everything would take me and yeahhhh i was being very optimistic when i said "playable build in 2023" lol. i've been hesitant to ask for help bc 1. i'm stubborn : ) 2. im bad at coordinating stuff 3. i can't pay ppl - like seriously, there is one person making a model for me (if you're reading this sorry i didn't ask if you want a tag but this is just a personal post where i keep yapping) and it's looking so clean and professional,,, you gotta sell this as an asset.

HOWEVER im getting past the mentality of "i gotta do as much as i can by myself". and also taking meds so that im able to focus on tasks (both gamedev-related and others) and actually pay attention to what im doing. which is great news for development! and answering asks! ill be making a dev post where i tag all the ppl and will also ask for help.

that's it. im on a train rn and bored out of my mind so this is why this post exists, sorry. anyway check out this screenshot of a moment in clone high that i relate to deeply.

IM SMILING FROM EAR TO EAR RN I DID NOT EXPECT WHATEVER JUST HAPPENED TO HAPPEN 😭😭😭 IT WENT SO XJDKMXNCJCJC LIKE, JDJDJDNDNJDJD 😭😭😵

okay phew. btw it was my first ever official date welp- great okay so uhh it went vv well like, forget about STARBOY for a sec. just the vibes were freaking immaculate oml i love city nights ;-;-;-; it was a bit chilly but luckily i had like a leather jacket so it wasn't too bad okay-

we walked for a while around the streets and talked and stuff and i tried my best not to go as red as a tomato bc he said i looked cute. like, the wholesome kind of cute and if that didn't kill me idk what did.

take my soul now. take it and lemme rip ;-;-;-;- *screams into hands* it was just a small date. just a small one. i shouldn't be this ecstatic mfkcnc mf got me wrapped around his pretty fingers istg-

the way i SPED around the house 😭✋ never in my life have i ever gotten ready that quick oml

we hung out at the park after buying coffees bahahaha it's eight pm on a weekend. not a lot of places were open. hnnnn he was so xnnxnxn how is he so???? 🤨 i hate how effortless he is istg-

it was so unexpectedly fun and like, sure i was excited and nervous at first but he tripped 💀 he tripped on the sidewalk it was the funniest shit ever and after that it was so fun oml. like, exhilarating in the chillest way idek how to explain it

he is so fun ;-; we literally were high on caffeine 😭✋ y'all know just how woozy i get after a cup like?? we were arm in arm skipping over stuff wtf actually happened am i in a fever dream what just happened

anyways, i did enough cardio for the week lmfao i think we ran more than we sat 💀💀💀💀 the things i endure for him smh 🤨

there is a skateboard park near my beloved abandoned train tracks and it's always legitimately THE coolest there. there were a few kids hanging around but it wasn't crowded so we hung out there for a while

AND THE BEST FUCKING PART IS THAT HE COULD SKATE. LIKE, MF HOW MUCH MORE PERFECT COULD YOU EVER GET????

granted he did slip on his feet like two times but who am i to judge 😭✋ i bodyslam on everything all the time, it was funny bahahaha

i enjoyed the night out a whole lot ;-;-; good vibes, y'all. good vibes 😔 i would have died internally if we just sat down awkwardly in a cafe lmfao i hate that 😭✋

the entire walk back to my house, we vibed to some random radio channel bahahaha i sincerely hope no one from our grade saw us bc i could actually die. i am now mortified bc ???? istg we were not drunk but 💀💀

anyways, it was perfect. everything i could have ever wanted ;-; i don't think he noticed how fast my heart was beating at first lmfao and the worst thing is, i am so awkward with people when we are alone like, i can't function one-on-one...

especially with a guy 😭✋

oh and i also developed the urge to dropkick him 😌 across the continent 😌.

ik that imitating body language is like a way for people to subconsciously tell you that they like you as a person but if he imitates everything i do one more time ever, he will be smacked 💀✋

HE LIKED THE SONG I RECCED HIM YES PLEASE Y'ALL ILY TY FOR GIVING ME ALL OF THOSE SONGS A FEW DAYS AGO 😭😭

ALSO I MESSED UP MY GERMAN FFS I THOUT WE WAS FLUENT MATE I- 💔💔💔 it's okay he said it was very funny ;-; excuse you sir i don't think you speak perfect English too 😭

I SAID "I hope i didn't forget my bowl." INSTEAD OF "i hope i didn't forget my keys." 😭😭😭💔💔💔 SCHÜSSEL AND SCHLÜSSEL ARE THE SAME WHEN YOU ARE TIRED ✋😭😭

[queenofallimagines]

can you please do the main 4 with a fem s/o who has narcolepsy🥺 she's bubbly, happy-go-lucky, and well very hyper, but when her narcolepsy starts kicking in she'd suddenly become lethargic and tired? the bois would be confused from the change in personality but didn't mention anything about it (she didn't tell the bois tho because 'they didn't ask') then a scenario where they're just talking, playing, or maybe in a middle of a fight/battle even.. their s/o all of a sudden collapsed and fell asleep- cue them panicking thinking you died

-they would try to wake you up, panic obviously written all over their faces; check your pulse and immediately calm down after hearing your heartbeat

-once you do wake up(prolly 15-20 mins), you're back to being your 'hyper-ball of sunshine-babie' self looking all ":D" when you're suddenly met with a confused and worried expression of your boyfriend

-they ask you what happened and if you were sick and you just tell them that you're narcoleptic (you can decide whether or not they know about narcolepsy, which if they don't, they'd just ask leorio what it is and if it's dEadLy)

(i think the only person from the main 4 who wouldn't panic and would know what to do is leorio since he's pursuing to be a doctor, so of course he knows about narcolepsy having read about it in a book)

-after the bois have been educated about your sleep disorder, they always try and stay close to you as much as possible in fear you'd suddenly collapse and hurt yourself. they would also have a few bandages with them just in case (killua would deny it tho, saying it's for him and not you... tsk tsk😏) when they notice you getting sleepy or about to pass out, they would probably bring you to the nearest bench or comfy place(gon), carry you bridal style(killua), give you a piggy back ride(kurapika), or immediately bring you home(leorio)

im SO SO SORRY if it's too much😖 i'm just in a thirst for fluffly adorable stuff rn🥺

No you’re good!!

But this actually has me in orbit bc I have narcolepsy so I 100% get this and it has me super soft💕

Main four boys:

- they are super panicked when you just pass tf out after getting all wobbly

- Like is it something with your nen??? Are you dead??

- When they find out your okay they relax but are still a little on edge

- When you wake up and explain leorio takes a big ass sigh of relief that your okay and explains it to the others

- They will never judge you for being not being able to keep your eyes open

- Will subtly try to keep you awake when they see you dozing off

- Gon will be super confused

- “Huh?😃”

- When he finally understands he will be super sympathetic and try to be as helpful as possible

- Will get you snacks bc you can’t fall asleep if you’re eating right?

- If you really can’t even stand up he will get you to the safest place ASAP and watch over you

- Killua will be all “gosh what a bother” about to but he helps you the most

- His brotherly instincts take over and he will go above and beyond

- Buys you caffeine and has you chase him to keep your energy up

- Depending on which type of narcolepsy you have (there are two types that I’m aware of) he will adapt accordingly

- If you are his size he will carry you until you wake up but if you’re bigger he will let you lean in his as you sleep

- “Did you have a good sleep?”

- Will want to hear about your cool dreams of you had any

- Kurapika will bring you to leorio if he’s nearby or let you sleep and give you food and water when you wake up

- Rests your head on his lap and pats your hair

- If you fall asleep mid fight he will try and finish it as soon as possible

- “Please try to be more careful,,,”

- Thinks you look peaceful when you sleep

- Mr. Doctor leorio will use his medical knowledge to help you to the best of his abilities

- Make sure you take your medicine everyday and eat something right after

- Can tell the early signs of you getting sleepy so he will drag you home or wherever you’re staying

- “Hey, don’t fall asleep just yet, only a few more steps okay?”

- Super patient with you and understanding

- Will nag you to make sure you have a good sleep schedule as to not make you fatigued anymore than you already are

- All in all they are 10/10 fiends and will care and understand

request content: “Ooh im glad i found another genshin writing blogs :D may i request headcanons for Childe with sleepy s/o? Like very easy to fall asleep (mprobably accidentally) heheh. Childe is late on a date? Off she goes to dream land. Oh and if you dont mind... Please keep me anonymous.. Thank you(s) xD”

haha I promised myself not to simp for this sketchy man but…. hes too attractive so I forgive him

Ofc no problem at all sorry it took me awhile because I was asleep (I have been awake for far too long) anyways…..headcanon :3

𝐂𝐡𝐢𝐥𝐝𝐞 𝐗 𝐒𝐥𝐞𝐞𝐩𝐲! 𝐒/𝐎

When I mean you fall asleep alot, you actually fall asleep alot. You tend to find yourself subconsciously going into slumbers. You could literally almost sleep anywhere whether it be in the middle of having a meal, in the middle of a shower, while reading a book and even in the middle of completely commissions (except for those that require fighting or you will definitely die).

No one is sure whether this is a condition that makes you sleep more often, a weird habit of yours or just simply because you are lazy, not even you know the reason behind this; you just feel tired most of the time. Although there will be days where you would feel more energetic than usual, you will still end up finding yourself falling asleep in the oddest of places.

You are just a cute big ol’ sleepyhead

Although Childe is usually very outgoing and flirty, he is a gentleman and is extremely courteous when handling with your situation. Being with him in a relationship is probably one of the most comforting situations someone can ever be placed in since he is very tolerant and he handled your sleeping situation very well. Even so, you would try your absolute best to stay awake during your dates as you genuinely want to be with him and spend time with him (though you will still somehow fall asleep near the end of the dates).

Honestly it’s an advantage and disadvantage at the same time as sometimes he would be scared that when you accidentally fall asleep, you might just fall and injuried yourself (especially when you fall asleep standing up). Other times he just thinks you are cute.

When he finds you in your accidental naps, he softly gazes at your sleeping figure before removing his scarf to put over your your shoulders then wrapping his arms around you, cuddling up to you, warmly embracing you to protect you from the cold(as long as the location is rather discreet and you fell asleep sitting down or laying down).

If you were found to be dozing off in odd places (like in the middle of a meal in a restaurant, leaning against a pillar in the middle of nowhere or in crowded areas), carefully he put you onto his back and positions your arms to sturdily wrap around him so that you can comfortably sleep on him for the time being as he proceeds to find a more comfortable place for you to sleep in whether it be booking a hotel, going back to yours or his place, finding a bench or vice versa.

Often times when you wake up from your naps, you will find him peacefully sleeping next to you. You couldn’t really blame him as he watched over you from your sleep for such a long time. Since you do not wake to wake him up by moving too much, you would start admiring his features: his fluffy ginger hair, his delicate and long lashes and his gloved slender hands that rested on you.

How did you even manage find such a beautiful man like this? (Why is Childe not real T-T)

Occasionally when he wouldn’t fall asleep before you wake up, you would wake up to a pair of blue eyes softly watching over you. His fingers gently drawing circles on your back before his hands travels to your cheek, caressing it.

“How was the nap, my princess?”

“It was good.”

“Still sleepy?”

“A little bit.”

Chatters were filled throughout the tiny cafe located in the corner of Liyue Harbour. It was a pretty interesting cafe filled with antiques. You were sitting alone in the corner, isolating yourself from everyone else in the room. There wasn’t much going on— just the pretty ordinary stuffs. People chatting, baristas brewing coffee, the waiters and waitresses rapidly walking around here and there taking customers’ orders, serving dishes and cleaning the tables.

Nothing much is going on.

Except he is not here

which was pretty unusual for him to be this late knowing that you would fall asleep rather easily.

It’s been about 20 minutes after the designated time and you were not entirely sure what was going on however you were determined to stay awake until he had reached the rendezvous.

Forcefully chugging down the third shot of espresso, letting its bitterness linger in your mouth, you patiently waited for the young Fatui Harbinger member to arrive. You weren’t really worried about him being late as nothing pretty serious could happen to him as he is one of the strongest person you know and he could protect himself easily so you just assumed that he was just caught up with work.

You were more worried that you might ruin the date by falling asleep.

You both couldn’t really spend much time together to go on dates as he was pretty busy with work most of the time and he couldn’t ditch it either as the Fatui isn’t known for their nice ways. You were rather understanding about his situation so you would just wait until he was unoccupied enough to go on a date with you.

Since this was such a rare opportunity to go out with him, you couldn’t let it go to waste so you insisted on indulging huge amounts of caffeine, hoping that they might prevent you from dozing off.

As much as you wished it helped, it didn’t.

You waited longer.

Longer

and longer.

An overwhelming wave of tiredness washed over you and no matter how many more sips of espresso you took in, it wasn’t going away. Your colouful vision were soon replaced with darkness. Slowly and eventually, you drifted off to sleep.

The bell hanging on the front door chimed as a young man frantically enter the store as if he was worried that someone might get mad. Eyes scanning for a familiar figure, he found you in a corner of the cafe, quietly resting with your head on your arms cushioning your cheeks from the hard wooden surface.

A gentle smile crept on his face as he noticed the stack of coffee cups on the table, knowing that you had tried your best to stay awake.

Walking towards the sleeping figure, his hands ever so softly caressed your cheeks before carrying you on his back, making your hands sturdily wrapped around him before walking out of the cafe.

He found a small inn around the area and rented a room.

While carrying you, he made sure his movements were careful and quiet so that he does not wakes you up.

He placed your delicate sleeping figure on the bed and pull the blanket to cover you up. He then gets inside the blanket and proceeds cuddled up to you, arms protectively clinged around your body.

“Sweets dreams, princess.”

Childe gave you a peck on your forehead before heading off to sleep with you in his arms.

*laughs* I think I am more in love with him now and this is so fluffy I KENNOT _:(´ཀ`」 ∠):

yes I managed to retrieve this back and I am honestly so freakin relieved rn (at least I posted something like I’ve promised T-T)

My first headcanon and sorry if it was overly detailed because ahem…. I like them detailed soo… yep.

Hope ya’ll enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it

[normiewrites]

Your hawks hcs was just whoa ❤🙌 can i request for nsfw hcs (or a scenerio, im cool with both) for having a friends with benefits type of relationship with kaminari and bakugou (seperate)

these are so bad and dry im so sorry anon T_T it’s also my first time writing for the Bakuhoe. 

Also pls keep in mind that these characters are in their third year, making them 18.

Warning(s): rough sex, over-stimulation, edging, electrostimulation

Friends with benefits (head canons) - Bakugo Katsuki, Denki Kaminari x (g/n)Reader

Bakugo Katsuki

You both hate each other, but that’s because you both are too stubborn to accept that you are sexually attracted to each other. Your first time hooking up was in the UA dorms kitchen at 3am when Bakugo was scolding you for making so much noise while trying to make some tea. You were pissed off already so it got a bit steamy when you started to fight back.

The next day you both are ignoring each other, not even going off at each other like you both usually do. But you both did crave more of each other and you find yourself falling under the pressure first, forcing him to talk to you about it later during the day, which also ended up in a small quickie

Your friends with benefits relationship was only surviving upon the times that you both just needed to release some stress and relax. Whenever Bakugo got angry from his friends, his studies or training, you could find him barging into your room to let off a bit. Anytime you were stressed out by anything, you always found yourself knocking on his door. But each time, either of you were quick to leave the other’s room after you both were done, it was something that Bakugo was specific about

SO MUCH ANGRY SEX OH LOOORDDDD. Bakugo just fucking you raw against the wall, or you pinning his wrists down as you ride the fuck out of his cock. So much degradation and humiliation and just so much rough sex. You can’t not expect to be crying in pleasure by the end of the night

You both find it better to hide it from everyone, and it is easy at first, because you both try to keep up your normal behaviour with each other up in front of everyone else, but then it starts to get tiring so you both just start acting a bit friendlier with each other. Everyone notices this but they would rather not comment about it if it involves Bakugo. He becomes more teasing towards you and helps you train, and you help him with his health and become just as teasing

However, you both are busy and Bakugo is good with self-discipline, so he doesn’t allow the relationship to aspire into anything bigger

Your sex life with each other is full of quickies and kinks, but nothing too extreme. Sometimes the topics of your arguments with each other are that you both leave marks on each other and get questioned in the locker rooms by your friends. The farthest you both go with the kinks is public sex in the UA dorms. You should expect taking money from Bakugo to compensate for how many clothes he burns or tears up

Your relationship stops once you all graduate, but if you guys manage to live nearby, expect Bakugo to show up at your place after an exhausting fight, needing someone to treat him for the night (in more than one way). You both will be too busy to maintain a relationship and your friends with benefit lifestyle continues for a while until your feelings bite you in the ass :*

 Denki Kaminari

How you both first started this relationship was during a study session. You both were slightly delirious from the late night, maths equations and the caffeine, and you couldn’t help but wonder what his quirk would feel like in bed. So you asked him if he’d ever used it for such purposes. He said he hadn’t but wouldn’t mind trying ;). That resulted in a small and fun ‘study’ session where you got the answers to your maths questions and your other questions

Besides just stress, your relationship thrives off of whenever your hormones like to fuck with you both the most (basically when you get horny af). You’ve never texted someone ‘up still up’ or ‘u free rn?’ this much before, but you weren’t complaining

Denki can’t help but become friendlier towards you, even in front of everyone else and one day he slips up really bad, exposing you both. It was during a truth and dare game the class was playing, and one question led to the discussion of sex and kinks, and at one particular kink that you liked, Denki blurted out, “Oh yeah, that one’s amazing, y/n and I try it out all the time.”

You basically blue-balled him for the rest of the week after that

The kinks that you both explore range from electrostimulation to roleplaying and LOTS of femdom. The relationship helps you both explore a lot of new things. Denki becomes extremely teasing with you, and vice versa, and its led to some dangerous experiments that you both love to conduct during the school hours. After your sessions, you both do stay with each other, basking in the after care before returning to your rooms with a new shine to yourselves

THERES A WHOLE LOTTA EDGING, TEASING AND OVERSTIMULATION IN THIS LIFESTYLE. You both at least go for multiple rounds and you both enjoy the pleasurable pain that comes from your overstimulated bodies. You guys just love testing each others limits and taking it to the max

Unlike Bakugo, Denki is more prone to develop feelings during your relationship and that eventually leads to a lot of sessions where you both really just cuddle and talk about things. You both never really ask each other out, but it’s always seemed like you’ve dated from the very beginning

Whether you both continue this relationship depends on where you both end up after graduation

peripeteia | how the idiots came to be

okay lets get the easy ones outta the way : 

- namjoon and y/n deadass met on the train 1st year it was the most boring meeting of them all

- actually im a liar , she was in a compartment already just minding her damn business when all of a sudden

- a feral “YEET” was heard just outside of her door, followed almost immediately by some first year boy hitting the ground like a high-speed sack of potatoes

- all of his shit was everywhere and he was just face down on the ground not moving at all 

- like is he dead or nah 

- so y/n opened the door to the compartment and went

- “ARE YOU DEAD OR NAH”

- so he responded by rolling over, in the middle of this train hallway thing, and stared up at her for a second before flashing her this cute ass little smile and said

- “i think the world wants us to be friends”

_____

-ok and then namjoon and hobi met bc theyre roommates 

-but hobi was kinda spooky bc hes aggressively smart and namjoons like how the fuck did i not end up in hufflepuff 

-but then within the first month of classes they had at least two major nerd battles and a showdown in the courtyard about the politics of whether or not a hot dog is a sandwich 

- which actually has never been resolved but its fine they fight about it once a year its healthy for them

- and then hobi met y/n bc one time he came back to his room and she was just sitting there talking to roger,, and namjoon wasnt there so he was like okay are you rogers friends and she was whats a roger and roger really deserves better thats all i gotta say

- and then she said smth to him along the lines of “you got a big mouth bro, how many marshmallows can you fit in that thing”

- and jung hoseok never turns down a challenge

- anyway by the time namjoon [who didnt even invite her there] got back there were marshmallows everywhere and they were both knocked out on the floor and roger was sitting in a corner looking very afraid 

______ 

- yoongi and jin met, again, bc roommates

- but yoongi had gifted him a little potted plant as like a “hey we’re gonna be roommates until we leave this place, lets be friends!!” kinda gesture

- and jin was just so confused bc how can one person literally radiate sunshine and warmth

- and he was already a grumpy, sleepy kid so he was like uh thanks im jin?

- and then one time forgot to water the little plant and woke up to yoongi standing over him with a menacing glint in his eye

- he never forgot to water that plant again, its name is Cappuccino and it is doing just fine

- he also actually wasnt a coffee drinker until the middle of first year when he and yoongi really needed to study for an exam but it was 3am and he was ready to fall asleep which is impossible next to yoongi who just breathes naturally produced energy hes like a plant for energy he never sleeps

- so he dragged jin down to the kitchens and convinced a house elf to make jin a coffee 

- he convinced her with a plant and his litto gummy smile bc she definitely did not want to give an 11 year old caffeine but she eventually did 

- and so CoffeeJin was born

____ 

- so the hufflepuffs actually met the ravenclaw-y/n trio the day of the Hot Dog Showdown

- after some of the profs got tired of seeing these two dummies argue and actually stir up quite the crowd bc this is a very controversial topic, they made everyone get lost 

- but jin and yoongi stayed behind and asked the three of them if theyd ever want to get a midnight hot dog snack tg and continue the battle

- so every friday night they would sneak out as a squad of 5 and just sit in the kitchens talking about random shit 

- also they had a precise 35 minutes of that time scheduled for whatever food topic they wanted to argue about that week

- jin and y/n still get into it regularly about the “milk or cereal first” question

- and thats how the older kiddies became friends!

____

as for the younger babies :

- jimin and tae met on the train

- actually they just battled on the train, they didnt really meet properly until they were both sorted into slytherin

- and by that point they hated each other

- “there can only be ONE troublemaker in this school”

- soooo for about a month into their first year the school was a huge mess of them fighting it out 

- and jungkook had gotten caught in the middle of their first train battle so he already knew and kinda liked them even though they were snakes and he was a lion

- he just kinda liked their vibe

- so one night on his way to the kitchens he came across them fighting it out in the corridor and just kinda interrupted with a litto 

- “uhm,,,, excuse me--”

- and they were like oh shit its that kid from the train that we definitely exploded a pumpkin onto 

- “why dont you guys stop fightng and just work together?? isnt that more fun”

- can you imagine a little jungkook  with a big ass coconut head just kind of casually interrupting a battle between two rabid slytherin idiots and suggesting they work TOGETHER

- bc jimin and tae laughed their asses off

- and then they were like wait a minute the coconut has a point 

- so basically jk is responsible for their entire relationship not fate im calling it rn 

- and they just kept bothering him after that tbh until he said fuck house discrimination im gonna be besties with some slytherins

____

- okay before we get to yoonkook lets talk about y/nkook theyre adorable

- they met bc gryffindor but really they met bc y/n was this cool older girl that was never hanging out with anyone in her actual house and instead was friends with a bunch of ppl in other houses

- and jk was a very shy babie before the thing w jimin and tae, so he had a hard time making friends

- and y/n did actually notice this bc he ate alone and did work alone and would only hang out with two troublemaker slytherins from time to time

- so one day she invited him to sit with her and the older bois during lunch and he was like ???? me????? 

- so he just sat there with his head down and was like eating quietly and kinda listening to them talk and kinda responding to y/n when shed talk to him but really he was quiet and didnt really look at anyone bc he was like why are these second years asking me to eat w them im scared mom come get me

- and when he was done eating his sandwich he was like ok i should go do hw or smth so he was gonna get up

- but then a little hand reached out and put another sandwich on his plate and then a little voice said “dont leave yet !! you barely ate, and lunch isnt over for a while -- stay and talk to us?” and when he looked up

- oh boy we love a yoonkook meeting 

- he was staring at the cUTEST BOY HED EVER SEEN HE ALMOST EXPLODED

- and from that moment on, jungkook was Obsessed 

- and kept asking y/n to sit with them during meals so he could talk to yoongi

- so over time he naturally just became one of them 

- and then at some point jimin and tae were like he ABANDONED US 

- and tried to confront him but it was in the middle of one of jk’s creepy stalking moments so jk just 

- took them with him

- that day, yoongi had three stalkers

- and also caught them

-and he was just like “oh hi friend !! and other friends of friend !!” 

- and it was so cute that for like a week jimin and tae were ALSO obsessed with yoongi

- but theyre not very sneaky so yoongi kept catching them

- and eventually was like “hey do you guys wanna sit with us at lunch??”

- and thus the group was Born

[lefttobloom]

im currently Awake so have some miscellaneous marth hcs; mostly smash-centric bc its taking up my every thought rn but that's cool

- he has a very thick (japanese) accent, only just recently learning to speak english. despite that, his annunciation is top-notch at his best. when he's tired/not feeling good/doesn't care to keep up with the mental task of perfect english, the accent is more present and noticeable. we love a bilingual king.

- being raised a prince, it's hard to get him out of his usual clothes for battle and into something more comfortable, especially in public places. despite very few bearing witness, at home, he's rather fond of large tshirts, and/or anything soft. i also believe in no pants marth supremacy so take that as you will.

- when not in battle or training, he's constantly looking for something to do, especially if it helps others out, and that's how he manages his adhd symptoms. as long as it's not cooking, he'll do anything, from labor, to babysitting, to making sure anyone in emotional distress is taken care of and listened to.

- downside to the above is, he'll occasionally forget to take care of himself while looking out for everyone else. a few other fighters manage to hold enough sway over him to get him set straight (i.e; peach, samus, some of the fire emblem fighters), but not too many.

- despite being a mother hen of sorts to those around him, marth's introverted, and thus easily drained by social interaction at times. he's incredibly picky on who he lets into his space when he's feeling low energy (pretty much no one), and favors his time to recharge at a set time when possible.

- i'd love to think that he'd be a huge hot chocolate drinker; aside from tea or coffee, its one of the few beverages that is easy to make and isn't overly sweet, while also lacking caffeine. its nice for the rare sweets craving.

[spirit-shroud]

i replayed kz again tonight and managed to beat it in 4 hrs instead of 11 !!! which is rly cool imo, i think i got a max of like 50 deaths or less for the full run ??? i was just playing regularly but usin the prism blade for the cool blood effects, not in speedrun mode for the counter, and i managed 2 drag my friend into hyperfixation hell with me :} but also i have some thoughts and opinions im not rly sure how to compile in a meaningful way, so here’s the like. pure brain-down-on-blog post version under the cut. if this gets auto-tagged into the real actual tag for this game im very sorry for my hubris im just. thinking emoji

so id like to start this with the final boss makes me SO sad :( like yeah she doesnt have much dialogue but idk she just makes me so sad. she’s so desperate and she Knows shes going to lose and im just like. no!!!!!!!!!!!!!! you’re so cool!!!!!!! Please Be My Friend We Can Work Together. I Know A Guy :c like usually final bosses are like weirdly emotional for me but she was just SO COOL and realizing like WAIT THIS BOSS OPERATES UNDER THE SAME RULES I DO was just like WOW even if as i kept dying (and i think i spent like... 3 hrs on the final boss alone lmao the first time, i killed her on my third attempt this run which was very cool of me) i finally realized that she IS pretty repetitive and got all her patterns n variables down super easy, but like, fighting another null who Should for all intents and purposes be just as absurd and powerful as i am, and eventually being able to down her effortlessly, and then the withdrawal affects of the chronos kicking in as well, and its just like. aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

dont even get me STARTED on that ‘to be continued’ like yeah there’s a dlc comin but the game mentions repeatedly that its just the first act which has me like OKAY. SPECULATION TIME (what am i speculating on? literally no idea im not even rly at the speculation phase im still in the WOW COOL VIDEO GAME phase) 

and i rly like the dragon/fifteen but the first time i saw him i was just like. who’s this f*llmetal alchemist looking bitch ??? what’s he doin here?? go HOME and controlling him is AWFUL i hate the dragon tape so MUCH >:C but also he’s like. cool. i want to know more about him n his plot 2 take down Juncture n the government n whatever. 

but also i was listen 2 Full Confession bc it’s just. what the heart wants rn. i need to be sad and caffeinated in order to get into the Writing Zone rn and then i was THINKIN like my friend mentioned while we were playing the dragon tape that the song that plays is very similar to Full Confession (which i had sent him earlier while i was losing my mind over the final boss) and then i was like. Hm. these are very similar but have such wildly different moods -- Breath of the Serpent is much more like. ‘you’re going to be afraid of me’ while Full Confession is like ‘i’m afraid of you’ and i think that the different Vibes from these two soundtrack bits about important Null characters is just like. WOW and i wonder how a version of it that was purely Zero’s might be. would it be more triumphant? more flat? what desperation or emptiness is in there that could be drawn out by this melody??? i dont KNOW and i can’t write music unfortunately but im just like AAAAAAAAAA

i also rly wanna know what snow has going on ??? like. shes clearly important. she is a vital npc. but Why. she didnt even rly do anything except Show Up???

fuck V. all my homies hate V. the motorcycle fight was a lot of fun tho i rly liked that section even if my therapist was mad at me afterwards

also i think elizabeth/the little girl is rly cute and the fact zero was just like. ‘hm. well guess i have a daughter now’ so fast w/ her (at least, with the dialogue trees me n my pal kept going down) and im just. So Hoping we can rescue her in the dlc :( i miss her so much and im so like. worried abt that like pls give me back my daughter you dumbasses i cant even read ur dialogue without my brain being like ‘yeah these r just squiggly lines, boss. gl’ 

i also want to believe that the masked men arent real (bc idk, it’s just easier for me to process that they’re the result of chronos withdrawal) but the problem w/ that is like. they definitely kidnapped elizabeth, and i want so desperately to believe that elizabeth IS real n that zero genuinely wants to protect her (and by extension, the part of himself that is still human) 

ALSO THE PSYCHIATRIST i was just like. Okay. I Must Get A Good Grade In Therapy. n kept being nice n cooperative and helpful to this clown ass and then THAT ENDING ??? like i didnt even get the Bad Therapist Ending i was just like. fucka you! attacka you with a rock! (i do however want to try the therapist boss it sounds like a lot of fun) but i just. i hate him! he sucks! find a better therapist zero u rly need one im sorry for ur problems disorder :( like hes clearly a guy who just works for the government n wants 2 keep a leash on our man 

n the contradictions, hes like. yeah ur killing everyone related to chronos so it can no longer be produced ♥ but dw ur special we totally wont just withhold chronos from you as soon as u finish ur tasks dw about it ♥ and its like. Hm. I Dont Think Thats Right !!!! 

also i wanna learn more about what Juncture has going on??? what are they like. Doing besides poisoning water n making lighters ?????? it’s clearly a lot 

also the art for this game is just so GOOD,,, like. i didnt rly notice a lot of the backgrounds my first playthrough bc i was just losing my mind the whole time trying to solve each puzzle but the second playthrough im just like. AAAAA. and the soundtrack? effervescent. groundbreaking. perfect. So Good 

and the GAMEPLAY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! oh my GOD i was SO vibing with it, the difficulty curve was kinda extreme imo but as soon as i started like. Getting It? and started looking at each room less like combat/fighting and more like a puzzle that needed to be solved it made it so much easier 2 get into the headphase of ‘okay how do i clear this’ and it was just like. YOOOOOOOO

and zero is just a lot of fun 2 play as. legitimately everything about him is just so ridiculous. his dialogue options? ridiculous. his design? absurd. the implications that hes like. 22 and just having the worst 10 days of his life? mood, buddy. this guy likes samurai movies and card games and mushroom pizza and has worn the same outfit every single day for who knows how long and hes also a war veteran, an emotionless serial killer and a drug addict. and hes 22 and 5′10. literally NOTHING about those traits make sense together but here he is, just Vibing. 

i love him so much. im going to make a self insert oc that’s just giving him a friend who knows how to cook n is just like ‘oh wow, that’s rough buddy’ when hes like ‘i only feel alive when i kill people’ and conveniently knows how 2 get bloodstains out of things bc i think he needs that kind of person in his life since his like. therapist is conspiring against him n he keeps having 2 kill his friends 

also, unfortunately, i want to get every achievement, which i feel like is going to become hld....2!! where i get all but 1 of them and am stuck at 96% for 2+ years >:T

apocalypse {f.h.}

pairing: number five x reader

warnings: death, some angst, lots of language

notes: trying to fight my writer’s block and finish pieces I’ve forgotten aha im posting this at midnight rn

/inspired by the song apocalypse by cigarettes after sex/

you’ve been locked in here forever and you just can’t say goodbye

your scraped knees and twisted ankle were the only things you could feel as you limped along the abandoned roads. they used to be a freeway, you think, but it’s hard to tell considering everything looks the same in the new post apocalyptic world: destroyed and desolate. death wasn’t a very good decorator, but it probably had other things on its mind.

today marked one week since the apocalypse had swept away any and all life from the earth, besides you, of course. somehow, you’d been (un)lucky enough to survive. who knew hiding in the dryer during a game of hide and seek with friends would pay off in the long run. and now, here you were, injured and alone-

“shit.”

or so you thought.

“hello?” you called out desperately, and the voice you had heard seemed to vanish in thin air. “i-i need help. my ankle’s twisted and i just need a place to rest.” nothing.

with a sigh, you sat yourself down amongst the rubble and pulled out your water jug from your flask. yet as you held it over your mouth you were met with nothing but air. only a few drops landed on your tongue, escaping the jug once you tapped the bottom with your palm. at this rate, you’d be dead in a few days. it’s almost impossible to survive the apocalypse on your own... unless you’re number five.

with a gun suddenly pointed at your face, a voice on the other end of the barrel demands, “who are you?”

“y/n,” you reply calmly, a sense of tiredness in your voice. he notices, but maintains his death grip on the weapon and his finger on the trigger.

“are you alone?”

“i was, then you showed up.” the boy, as you can tell by now, narrows his green eyes at you. “listen, if you’re gonna kill me, all i ask is that you do it quick. put me out of my misery.”

he’s quiet, his brows furrowed as he contemplates his next move. then, with the gun lowered, “i’m not going to kill you.”

“that’s too bad,” you reply calmly, setting your jug aside before letting your back rest against the piece of debris behind you. “guess i’ll let Mother Nature do it herself.”

“are you always this depressing?” he asks slightly annoyed.

“not usually, but when the world you once knew goes to shit... well,” you shrug, “people change.”

“self-pity isn’t a good change.”

“yeah, well neither is violence.”

“trust me, that’s the one thing that’s stayed the same,” he murmurs, almost as if he’s speaking to himself. his posture has relaxed significantly and the gun is on safety. “i’m Five.”

“well, Five, looks like it’s just you and me.”

~~~

it had been three years ago since you had first stumbled upon five, and since then you two had been inseparable. you were the apocalyptic duo (plus delores), and nothing could get in your way. in fact, it was safe to say you were in love with him, and unbeknownst to you, the feeling was somewhat mutual.

today had been like any other day. you’d woken up next to each other, eaten breakfast, gotten ready for the day, then continued your trek to god knows where. you sat in the wagon with Delores while five pulled, admiring the post apocalyptic beauty of everything around you. it was kind of poetic, really. how things seemed prettier when destroyed. or maybe you were just a big masochist. you wouldn’t be surprised after all the time you had spent with five.

“i’m hungry,” you stated aloud to no one in particular. “you hungry, Delores?”

“...”

“five, we’re hungry,” you chimed, causing him to roll his eyes in slight annoyance at your whining. honestly, he sometimes thought of you as a big baby he had to take care of. a small being who needed constant care and attention otherwise they’d die. but for some reason, five always took care of you. always. if he wasn’t such a tough guy, he’d consider it to be love. but to five, it was a silent agreement the two of you had come to; he’d take care of you and you’d make things less lonely. to five, this was enough. there was no place for love in the apocalypse.

“what do you want?” he grumbled, continuing to pull the weight of you and Delores as well as your few belongings within the wagon.

“hmm... spaghetti!”

“why do you two insist on making things so difficult?” five huffed, stopping for a moment to scan his surroundings. “i think there used to be a super market a few blocks from where we’re standing. they might have something there.”

the super market, once known as john’s grocery, was nothing but rubble and broken building, but a good survivor always knew not to judge a book by its cover, which is why you and five managed to find some pretty good shit. it wasn’t spaghetti, of course, but a can of Pringle’s and beef jerky sandwiches was like heaven to your rumbling tummies.

while Five was busy evenly splitting the sandwich Delores had so graciously offered to the two of you, you rummaged through your bag and pulled out your find: a Polaroid only slightly damaged from the blast. it only took a minute for you to insert the film and a few seconds to snap a photo of an unsuspecting five concentrating on the precision of slicing the sandwich.

“what the hell was that?” he asked, looking up at you and scowling slightly at the sight of the camera. he hated pictures.

“i found it,” you grinned, snapping another photo.

“Jesus, enough with that,” five scolded, blinded temporarily by the glare. “you’re going to get us killed.”

“no one’s out here, you’re being paranoid,” you said dismissively, smiling at the developed film. “besides, look at how adorable you look!”

five merely rolled his eyes and took a bite of his jerky sandwich. you were too trusting of the world, too naive. believing that no one could touch you, that nothing could go wrong. it’s what had gotten you killed.

it all seemed to happen in slow motion, really. one minute you’re smiling, the next there’s a bullet in your chest and you’re struggling to breathe. the blood is oozing freely from the wound, dribbling down from your mouth as you fall back with wide eyes and a terrified face.

“y/n!” five yells, not recognizing his own voice as he quickly scoops you into his arms and desperately clutches you to his chest. “shit, shit, shit.”

“five?” you gurgle, and his eyes begin to well with tears.

“you’re going to be okay, you’re going to be fine,” five repeats over and over into your hair, and he’s not sure if this mantra is for him or for you.

he feels the warm liquid spreading in between your bodies, staining his jacket and seeping through your clothing. it’s so warm, it scares him, scares him as if it’s the first time he’s seen blood in his life.

he’ll never forget the strangled cry that left his mouth as he felt you slump against him, the sudden chill he got from the cold of your body. it was what kept him awake for several nights, what kept him going, what caused him to go rouge when he had learned of the commission’s true power, their true crimes. the blood on their hands, your blood on their hands. they’d pay.

~~~

“shit.”

after explaining what was basic science to his now much older siblings and coming up empty handed in his search for caffeine, five hardgreeves decided to take a drive. a scrawny thirteen year old driving a car would have been comical if not for the situation and stakes at hand.

griddy’s is the only place he can think of to go for a decent cup of coffee, and he hopes it’s still there. and it is. it’s comforting to know that some things have remained the same since his departure into the future with you..

it’s almost empty when he walks in, except for a truck driver at the front and a girl at the very back in her own booth. books are scattered around her, a clear sign of procrastination. she reminds him a lot of-

“Y/N?” five asks bewildered. you peek up at the sound of your name, eyebrows furrowing in confusion at the sight of a stranger asking for you.

“do i know you?” you ask and shrink back against the booth as he approaches quickly. this boy you’ve never met before may be cute, but he’s approaching like a mad man.

“y-you’re here, you’re alive!”

“last i checked,” you say with an uneasy laugh. “h-how do i know you?”

“it’s a long story, i’ll explain it as we go home,” he rushes, grabbing hold of your wrist that you quickly pull back.

“go back?? i-i don’t know you!” you sputter. he sighs annoyed, impatient. he knows it’s not your fault that you have no idea who he is, but he doesn’t have a lot of time to waste.

the bells over the door chime, and five is on alert immediately. he thought he’d have more time before they found him.

“listen, i know you don’t know me, but i need you to get under the table right now, okay? you’ll be safe.”

you didn’t have time to protest as he was shoving you under. but as you watched the next scene unfold in front of you, you were suddenly very grateful you had chosen the corner booth that night.
