~~

While you and Anakin were both out on a mission, you had the urge to be a bit devious; payback one would call it.  He had been getting on your nerves during the flight home seeing that he was frustrated about the mission not going the way he wanted it to.

You figured why not make his day as miserable as he’s made yours? 

It truly wouldn't be that hard to make him even more frustrated, something as simple as disobeying him in front of the others would set him off. You smirked at the thought of that. You knew by doing so, you'd deal with the consequences later.. in the bedroom. 

Later on that day, Anakin had asked you to do something and with no hesitation, you simply said no. This took him by surprise, only because he's never experienced this kind of attitude from you. 

“Excuse me? Did I hear you correctly?" He asked, his tone low. 

You looked at him with a smug expression on your face. “You heard me correctly, I said no." This caused you to receive a look from him. You paid no attention to him and continued on with what you were doing. As you sat quietly, wishing the ride home would go by faster. 

What you hadn’t noticed was Anakin had sat next to you and moved closer to you at some point. He was so close to you that you could feel his lips brush against your earlobe. “Once we land I want you to meet me in my room.” He whispered in your ear, causing chills to go down your spine. 

As you landed, you quickly got up from your seat and made your way to your quarters. You already knew what was going to happen once you got into Anakin's room, so you figured you would freshen up. A quick shower to wash up when you stepped out of the shower, you decided to spray his favorite perfume. 

Anytime you wear that scent, it drove him nuts.

Wrapping your robe around your body, you made your way down to his bedroom. You enter the room and before you could even call out to him ,you feel yourself being pushed up against the wall. A gasp slips from your lips at the sudden contact of your back against the cold wall. A chuckle came from the corner of the room, causing you to look in the direction of the noise. It wasn’t a big shocker to see him slowly walk out into the light. 

“You didn't think I forgot about what you did earlier did you?" He's closer now, his face inches away from yours. You look up at him, deciding to play along. 

“What did I do?" you ask innocently, batting your lashes in hopes of getting away with it.  

His hands find their way towards your body, his grip tight on your hips. “Oh please y/n, don't play dumb,” his lips against your neck as he speaks.

He’s able to take in your scent, causing him to groan. “You know what that perfume does to me.” He loves the way that perfume scent mixes in with your skin.

Hearing him fold just from that makes you smirk. “I know how much you love it, that’s why I wore it”

His hands move their way up to your breasts and he grips them, caressing them roughly. It doesn't even hurt, if anything it feels too good. 

You moan softly as his hands toy with your breasts. "oh Ani-" you're cut off by him. 

“It’s master to you" He says, one hand making his way to grip your neck while his other hand continues to caress your other breast. Despite your eyes being closed enjoying the attention you are receiving from him, you could feel his eyes fixed on you; watching your every move, waiting to see how you’d react. 

Anakin knew the moment he got you in the room, you’d cave; you always did. You were putty in his hands and you both knew it. 

you're not sure what turned you on more.. the tight grip he had on your neck or the fact that you knew that soon you'd be on all fours getting fucked senselessly by him.

you were truly such a whore for him and he knew it too. always loving his roughness with you, letting him have his way with you. He loved it. He loved seeing the way you would crumble under him, how weak he could make you just by his touch.

"You think you're slick. disobeying me in front of the others. trying to make me look like some bitch?" he said, you could hear a small hint of anger in his voice. He pushed himself up against you. you felt yourself getting wetter by the minute. the feeling of his hard cock brushing against your aching core, the feeling drove you insane.

you wanted nothing more than to feel him deep inside of you already.

"I'm sorry Master" you struggled to get your words out, distracted by him. truthfully, you weren't actually sorry. You only said it because you knew that's exactly what he wanted to hear from you. He smirked at the sound of your voice, you sounded so small to him, so fragile. He loved the affect he had on you.  

soon he would be breaking you apart.

“Strip.” He's watching you like a hawk, as you take each piece of clothing you have on, off.

he takes a few steps back from you. "Get on the bed, now" you do as you're told but instead of actually getting on the bed you decide to stand in front of it.

"I said get on the bed" he’s right in front of you now. His eyes are darker. He pushes you down roughly onto the bed. All you can do in that moment is look up at him.

He’s now towering over you, he uses his flesh hand to roughly spread open your legs.; his fingers run along your wet slit, spreading your folds, exposing your juices to him. “Look at how wet you are for me” he smirks.

His fingers apply pressure to your clit. He's moving them in a circular motion, painfully slow.

Your eyes are shut; you’re bottom lip in between your teeth while you try to keep in your moans. You don’t want to give him the satisfaction but you’ve failed.

Pushing yourself against his hand “p-please Master.”

“What is it y/n, spit it out.” He’s amused with how much of an affect he has on you.

“I need more. Please” you manage to get out between your whimpers.

He grows harder at the sight of you; the way you’re falling apart just by his touch, the way you sound, those small noises that are escaping your lips.

As much as he doesn’t want to give in to you. He can’t wait any longer. Just as you’re aching for him, he’s aching for you too.

He thinks about the way your walls stretch around his length. The way he fills you up so perfectly.

“Fuck this.” He gives in; his head is now in between your thighs. He doesn’t waste anymore time. His tongue laps at your swollen clit, he’s now slipped two fingers in you, fucking you with them.

Your back is now arched, your head thrown back. All you can do is moan. Your hands resting on the back of his head, pushing him further into you. “Oh f-fuck, fuck, you make me feel so good Master” you cry out through gritted teeth.

He groans against you, continuing on with what he’s doing. He feels your walls tighten around his fingers, he knows what that means. You’re close. He stops. Pulling his fingers out, moving his head. Instead of you cumming on his fingers.. he wants you to cum all over his cock.

You whimper at the sudden loss of his touch.; you stare at him with a pout now on your lips. “That wasn’t nice”

“Does it look like I care? I want you on all fours. Now." you do as you're told and reposition yourself; now your face pressed against the pillows and your ass high up in the air. He stares at your body, almost creaming his pants at the sight of you.

You wait eagerly, you’re so ready to be filled up and used by your Master.

He quickly undresses himself; he’s now positioned behind you. His hand grips your hip tightly, while the other grabs ahold of his cock and lines himself up at your entrance.

Before slipping into you; he’s teasing you by running the tip of his cock up and down your slit, spreading the wetness that you and him both created.

You being impatient, you try to push yourself against him. Earning a slap to your ass. “Be patient, whore.”

You moan at his words.

Before you know it, he slides into you, slowly, making sure you feel every inch of him as he fills you up. He watches as his cock disappears. Moaning at the feeling of your walls stretching around him. Without any hesitation, he pulls out and thrusts back into you roughly.; fucking you like the dirty little whore you are.

The room is filled with the sounds of your skin slapping against one another. Your moans and his groans.

You move your hips; thrusting back into him. This new action from you drives him crazy, causing him to thrust even harder.

“You feel so good inside of me, Master! Please don't stop .” You practically scream out.

“F-fuck y/n. I won’t! I’m gonna keep fucking you like the little whore you are.” his eyes are shut, moaning loudly, his hips drilling into yours.

His movements remain at the same pace as before, his hand still tightly gripping your hip. 

Moans escaping you both. 

You shove your face in the pillow in an attempt to quiet your moans. 

Anakin notices; wrapping your hair around his free hand, he pulls your head back from the pillows. “Don't hide your sounds, I want them all to hear how good I make you feel." He meant every word. He really did not care if anyone heard you both. He wanted the others to hear you, to know that you are his.

You belonged to him. 

“More,” you call, begging for him to give you more. Anakin could never say no to you. His hand slid down the curve of your spine, resting between your shoulder blades. Quickly moving his arm around you. He pulls you up, your back against his chest. His hand finds its way to your throat, gripping it.

It was needy and messy; feeling you around him drove him mad, hearing you ask him for more was the cherry on top.

"This is what you wanted, wasn't it?" Anakin asks, your little hand wrapping around his wrist. You nod, unable to verbally answer him.

"Good girl."

Your moans continue to echo throughout the room. finally you reach down to apply pressure to your clit; rubbing aggressively, this and his harsh thrusts throw you over the edge. your head thrown back, eyes rolled back. "I'm gonna cum.” You cry out. 

“Cum for me, cum all over my cock baby." His thrusts become sloppier, indicating he's close as well. 

"I'm cumming, gonna fill you up." he groans loudly, filling you up with his seed. 

Small whimpers escape your lips, your body trembling from the intense orgasm you just experienced. 

He gives you a minute before pulling out, and you feel him get off the bed but you aren’t sure where he went. You’re much too tired and to be frank, fucked out, to even care at that point. 

The water is running and you can hear footsteps. Anakin comes back, crouching down by the bed. He rubs your back softly and you look over at him. 

“C’mon,” he says, his hand stretched out for you as he helped you sit up. 

Anakin wraps your robe around you before helping you stand, legs like jello as he slowly walks you towards the bathroom. 

The tub is full and there’s bubbles peeking over the ledge. 

You can’t help the giggle as you glance over at him, “you ran me a bath?” 

“it was the least I could do,” he smiles, kissing your temple as he walks you to the tub. 

He takes the robe from you, his hand in yours as you step into the tub, a satisfied hum when you sink into the warm water. Anakin’s crouched down by the tub now, his arm hanging in the tub as you look at him. Your hand comes up to cup his cheek. 

“I love you, you know that, right?” You tell him, “no matter what.” 

Anakin smiles, turning to press a kiss to your palm. 

“I love you.”

ok detailed surgery experience

i made this schedule (?) of the major events as soon as I left while I cld still remember (and still kinda forgot!) i like knowing the Times of stuff so I asked my dad to take note of Times for me, and tried to ask for the time where i could

surgery I got was a laproscopic bilateral salpingectomy, full removal of the fallopian tubes only!

Misc details off of dis, obviously TMI territory as its a medical procedure.

The second blood draw (they took blood from me yesterday tooooo) hurt less and more somehow. Nasty nasty bruise forming.

IV really was the worst part of it ! I'd get weird throbs of frustrating pain long after it was in

I was given compression stockings that went right up to my crotch. Your toes stick out, and they put hospital socks over your feet. Some additional compress wraps were placed above my knees.

Pre op/prep didnt take too long at all. I know I have it listed as over an hour of waiting, which always made me nervous to read in other people's experiences, but it doesn't really feel like waiting. The TV helps pass the time, as do the people who are with you if any, and the nurses popping in with help or instructions or updates. The prep room was small and the bathroom was next door. The double doors open to wheel you out. Remote was given toe to control the TV and also call the nurses via a speaker.

The nurse who wheeled me in was nicest, she pronounced my name Correctly and was also really funny and friendly...

In general I knew this surgery was going to go well because I was actually able to fall asleep last night. I've stayed awake/tossed and turned for events far less stressful. Dis was also due to part of it kind of not feeling real for me! And being wheeled into surgery room added to that! It didnt feel real, it felt like watching one of many scenes from medical media of the same point of view.

I did start quaking and shaking once in the surgery room (also small, I did not look around much in fear of it making me panic last minute!)

They had me scoot from the prep bed to the surgery table. There was a pink foam headrest for me to slot the back of my head into. They strap you in with arms out like ur being crucified and thats when it became more Real for me so i started shaking a lot, but I can't tell how bad it was under the heavy blankets. I think I shook more and for longer when I went for my MRI (which also isnt/wasnt scary but the body freaks out for no reason). Im surprised at myself for being so Calm ykwim

Anyway, strapped in, had monitoring stuff stickered onto my body: my sternum, side of body under chest/armpits, and another pair I cant remember where. Hair was put up in hair net. My hospital gown was untied as the tie starts halfway across your body and goes under, but this was not done in an invasive-to-privacy way, and I was still fully covered by it (and then recovered by blankets)

(3 separate people asked me how many kids I had throughout this whole venture, and were Shocked at my response. This was the other most nerve wracking part as I started to get weirdly anxious that someone wouldn't like this and cancel my surgery or something. One of the Askers was the anesthesiologist.) Doctor/surgeon came in and asked if i was ready and talked about how he loved being under anesthesia LOL. Everybody was speaking about their opinions about childbirth and sterilization and parenthood, but amongst each other and not to influence my decision, along with telling each other to set up XYZ. Once again everybody is charmed by Cheye's usage of the word "yay"

Ive never had surgery before, so I was worried about anesthesia. In my mind i was imagining it to be being fully lucid and then your vision darkens and takes you, which was scary to me like i dont wanna be freaking out and then immediately KNOCKED out!

But it was gradual which actually made it more calming for me...the funny nurse put the oxygen mask over me, I got very nervous bc she said to take deep breaths and honestly i couldnt even breath much at all in it, and breathing out also felt very restricting and like I was going to choke, but it wasn't Distressing. I just breathed slowly and it worked anyway.

In a few seconds I felt a cool tingle in my arm that then sort of burst into my torso, and my whole body felt really light and my eyelids draggggggged half closed, but it felt very mechanical and involuntarily (like slowly closing window blinds...or like how the brightness options on a 3DS are numbered buttons ykwim? Like, Closing 1, Closing 2, Closing 3, Closed Halfway, all pressed in quick succession). Heavy heavy heavy. I stayed in that half closed state for a while! (Probably not even a full minute, but it also wasn't instant...i still had time to think and Hear conversation etc, as well as feel that there was some mechanical thing tightening around my spread arms along with the hand adjusted straps)

The funny nurse was telling me to relax and have sweet dreams and that they wld take care of me and such. And then I was out. I do not remember my vision fully fading or eyes fully closing, in my mind they stayed in that half closed state.

Ive heard ppl say it feels like blinking and waking up, but it did feel like sleep to me!!!! I know dreaming under anesthesia isn't really a thing, but waking up felt like....i was really waking up like normal and trying to remember traces of a dream after several hours of sleep.

I always thought it was silly seeing ppl ask if the surgery was over when they come out of it, but I did that. But like i swear it came out involuntarily??? Like i knew it was over....i think it was because I couldnt really SEE anything when i woke up, I could only hear staff speaking to me, and I can barely remember what they said. Vision was VERY very blurred. So I guess that question came out as substitute for Where Am I, and Who's Here With Me? Speaking felt like when audio unsyncs from a video, with my voice trailing far behind my words. I also remember being really bewildered bc there was some sort of residue on my lips, like when they're chapped and dry and cracking. I learned later this was bc of the intubation but i Didnt Know That Yet so i was just scared and thirsty.

Adding another "pain was less bad than the average period which has one Doubled Over" statement to the pile. Pain was at 3/10 or 4/10, which is to say if period pain is a whole abdomen event, this pain was small little bruises occasionally being brushed up against, just small throbs of sore pain in the 3 incision spots. I got an incision inside my belly button and that was the most present sensation, but that might also be bc I hate anything having to do with that area in general 😭 always feels weird.

My throat felt very DRY. It wasn't pain yet, it felt like when you're thirsty + dehydrated and your lips stick together at any slight moisture, but in the throat. Kept trying to look around and wiggle my fingers and toes in hopes that'd help me Come Out Of It sooner bc not being able to see was really frustrating me. I could not make out the face of the person watching over me for some time. I really wanted water !

HORROR when the person looking over me said i had a catheter still in me. Nightmare I wasnt counting on actually happening and wasnt mentally prepared for. I was told I would have one placed (make sure to ask if this is a concern for you!) but i thought they'd take it out before I woke up... I cldnt even feel it in me when I was told this! Which is good.

The staff of course had to remove blankets and open my gown a bit to access the area. But I did not feel any distress about this at the time.

Had a very funny slow motion distress response bracing self for removal. It did not hurt or sting at all, it just felt like [something I cant describe here]. Just pressure! It was pulled out gently but quickly of course.

After 1 hr i was wheeled to a separate private recovery room. The nurse uncovered my lower area to check if incisions were doing good so far as well as to check if I had been provided with a pad/underwear, as some patients have blood or other fluids come out as a result of the surgery.

parents came in, was so grateful for juice but in dismay over my food item being orange (i dont like citrus flavor) jello (i dont like jello 😭) i consumed all of both.

I also worried I'd feel weird about throwing my body parts away. But I dont feel anything ^_^ just feels very awesome and natural

Sore throat started further developing. Nurse came in after some time here, taught me how to Get Up. Was scary! I was worried about it hurting, but it was just more soreness.

Was able to go to the bathroom, went a very little bit but it was enough. I was very scared about seeing my incisions and being disgusted by them....but I caught a glance and it was Okey Yey. They are covered in surgical Glue and dont look gnarly, swollen, red or anything they look very cool ^_^ got dressed in stages as there was nothing to set clothes down on and sat back down on the bed. The bathroom connected to another room where somebody else was preparing for surgery.

Nurse came in with final post op instructions, upon describing nausea to me my skin got cold, stomach activated and krusty krab exploded with it. She was just barely able to get me a bag to throw up in. This exacerbated the throat pain. She encouraged me to get it all out especially since I also expelled gas, which is a good thing.

IV removal didnt hurt! Same level of pain as the tape around it being yanked off. I couldn't even tell it was over. I was wheeled out of the hospital. ^_^ i wore an oversized dress my sister lent me, and cheap target sandals so I wouldnt have to bend to tie shoes. My dad pulled up the car right outside. I brought a pillow to be a barrier in between the seat belt and my stomach.

Its 6:48 neow and I am laying down, but the pain is (currently) the same. I had another nausea (and release. Also exacerbated throat pain.) spell (while in walmart picking up the pain meds), was boiling alive in my very hot room, and was a bit dehydrated which may have contributed to some misery and nausea but as of right now I'm ok, i changed into lighter clothes, drank water, ate a bit, and situated self in a room with ac....i worry about getting up and becoming nauseous again 😭 i hate throwing up.

People are right about it being more discomfort than pain! You have to walk around every few hours, and it doesnt hurt but every step feels like my bellybutton is kinda pinching inward. Being tugged at from the inside. Ive gotten to a point where even chuckling makes me feel this very Sour soreness (not regular dull soreness) so maybe ill start the meds soon if necessary.... Squatting to sit doesnt hurt in a debilitating way, neither does actually sitting or putting on/stepping into clothing.

I couldnt nap because laying on my side doesnt hurt the incisions or anything, BUT its just the strange discomfort again. The weight of gravity on the body makes the incision sites feel very very weird in an abstract way i cant describe. It isnt pain. It feels like a mismatched sensation of some sort. Like if you touched your nose and somehow felt the touch on your knee. Adjacent to this. A very specific sensation sits in all the incision sites and drags down through your mattress to the ground and it feels Weird.

If you get up properly it really doesn't hurt to do so! Use your leg to get yourself fully onto your side, then use your arm to push yourself up into a sitting position.

I am very nervous from when all the good strong hospital meds wear off t_t i heard the day after is a struggle because of dis. but ive got the prescribed pain management on hand (extra strength ibuprofen and tylenol with codeine!! O_O) neow at least ^_^;

OH, AND THE DOCTOR TOOK FOTOS OF MY INSIDES LIKE I ASKED! ^_^ 🫶 I have glossy printed souvenir now! I dont exactly know wtf im looking at but its awesum LOL maybe i will ask for details at the follow up!

Hi! Anime Expo 2024!!

Title: Hi! Anime Expo 2024!!

Where we will be heading to the signing event in July 2024

Outside: See you later.

is Los Angeles, United States!!

The editors who will be coming with me this time are...

the usual slim glutton M-da-kun,

the considerate and quiet H-gata-kun,

Y-no-san with the face of a saing yet with the heart of Enma

and the closeted otaku(?) and beautiful K-tou-san..

So, the United States are ridiculously large. (I also mentioned it on the Volume 18 flap.)

The faraway scenery is really far away.

Anyway, let's have a meal first.

Outside: Eep.

Here it is, ther Americal steak!!!

Moreover, its mega size sure packs a real punch.

We can eat it as much as we can!!

Its cooking and chewiness are the best.

As expeted of the home of steak.

30 minutes later...

After this... let's drink... alcohol...

Vegetables... I wanna eat them.

Old men in their 50's like us are nearing their limits.

Just as expected, the younger people aren't having any issues at all.

I can come here any day.

Arrow: Especially him. In terms of kilos of meat eatedn from the start, it's like eating up a cake. Such a strong guy.

Without a care in the world, the heavy-drinker K-tou-san is drinking nothing but wine.

Delicious.

Y-no-san was told by his dentist to abstain from eating sweets yet also gumped down wine.

He is sure to give me an earful...

I gave in so quickly and kept on drinking whiskey. I ended up having a hangover for two days.

Outside: Something... something sour...

Ah, I've got dried plums.

Gimme one.

Well now, let's go have a fun tour next!

Outside: Yeah.

Hollywood!!!

Just walking in the town makes me all excited!♬

The Chinese Theater!!

So cool!!

The hand and footprints and signatores of Hollywood stars.

Schwarzie's hands and feet are huge!!!

The Hollywood sign...

So small.

was hella far away...

Madam Tussauds wax museum was awesome.

Outside: Getting kicked by Bruce Lee,

Outside: stopping his kick with my fingers,

Hah.

Outside: getting grabbed by King Kong,

Outside: H-gata-kun recreating edward Scissorhands' famous scene.

We took plenty of silly photographies.

And then, we went to the Santa Monica beach pier on a separate day.

This kinda feels like an amusement park.

Guys, it's hot so how about having ice cream?

We ate granulated and super-rich ice-creams on a lively pier... (What a name for the ice-cream...)

Outside: Yummy!

Japan is over there several thousands of kilometers away...

After that, an incident happened.

H-gata-kun was merrily playing ona swing set up along the beach.

What kind of miracle happened when he got off it?

The swing's chain ripped off every button on his shirt except the topmost one!!

What the heck are you doing!!?

Y-no-san, who joined us later, teased him about it.

You were eager to show that blonde beauty how cool you were, right?

Outside: H-gata-kun, you're such a pervert.

N... no, no. I didn't go on the swing to act cool. I'm a pervert though...

Outside: Yep, yep.

Well, I wouldn't be surprised from him.

Outside: Yep, yep.

As an aftertaste episode,

A parent and a child came to talk to us in the middle of strolling,

it turns out that they came to bring us the accessory K-tou-san dropped.

It was a very heartwarming scene.

We went on and visited Paramount Studios

Center: Bumblebee

Right: The bench from Forrest Gump

This is the best.

and saw the area where the cast actually lived.

We also watched a Dodgers match in Dodgers Stadium.

M-da-kun quite enjoyed it despite not being a sports enthusiast.

...I digress here but my biggest blunder all trip long was that I forgot my watch. (Seriously yes.)

There are no clocks in the hotel, not even in rooms. The time on the TV wasn't displaying correctly...

I should get a smartphone soon...

Well, whatever! Let's put it aside and get going to the event!

You know, it's retty important for me!!

Yes, yes, let's go, let's go.

Then it's about time to go to the Anime Expo!!

AX for short!!!!

I took part in the signing event

to give interviews and talk events online.

I drew the eye on the daruma at the opening ceremony.

I hesitated to draw the Dragon's Sin of Wrath emblem but I chose the pig instead...

Lee Kapi-san, who's my translator for the talk event,

Outside: I love Punisuke.

has been my fan since my debut work. I feel grateful.

And then came the signing event that spanned over three days...

Outside: Topless apron Ban!!

Really passionate fans came to me. Oh God, I'm so happy!!

Among them, there were strong people who got the ticks for all three days.

Day 1: Meliodas.

Day 2: Elizabeth.

Day 3: Hawk.

They had me complete signings on one carboard sheet...

A guy cosplaying as Pellegarde

came with his girlfriend who cosplayed as Arthur.

The quality is amazing.

Moreover, on the following day, there were Escanor and Meliodas cosplays...!!

That couple was very intimate.

Also, I'm still preciously wearing

the Dodgers cap that a fan gave me.

Outside: The local old man seems like a supporter.

I'm really

glad I came.

There were a bunch of parts I had to omit due to the page restrictions but in any case, I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Thank you so much, Americans!!

I'mm come back next time with medicine for the stomach...

THE END

Part 1

Chapter 3

-starless lobby-

yakou: I'm finished mopping the front entrance.

yoshino: Nice work. Did you put the signboard outside already?

yakou: It wouldn't have been helpful if I forgot it so I put it out first.

yoshino: I'm almost done mopping here too, after that I have to... Kei, what else is there to do?

kei: ........

yoshino: Kei?

kei: ...Mm? Oh... My apologies, I was deep in thought.

-kei walks off-

yakou: ...That's surprising. To think people like Kei who give off an aura of being perfect also space out sometimes.

yoshino: I've never seen Kei like that before. I wonder if something happened

-hallway-

kei: ....... (sigh)

-he bumps into saki-

saki: Wah...!?

kei: My deepest apologies. Are you ok, Saki? Hm? What are you doing with that bundle of forms? Don't tell me Unei's been handing off tasks to you?

saki: They've just been sitting there in the break room for quite some time, so I figured I'd take them to the office.

kei: To make you have to bother with such a task... I'm most sorry. I shall take them from you.

saki: (Huh...?)

saki: Are you feeling worn out, Kei-san? Your face is quite pale...

kei: ......... (surprised)

kei: Worry not, I am fine. I make sure to monitor and maintain my health each day. Though, to cause you to worry about me in such a way, I suppose I need to do a better job of it.

-sotetsu walks up-

sotetsu: Oh hey Kei, those forms you have are the ones I was told to take to the office.

kei: I heard they'd been left in the break room?

sotetsu: I felt like a smoke but I was all out of cigarettes. By the time I'd gotten back from buying some the papers had disappeared.

kei: So, in short. It is your fault that Saki ended up being the one who had to transport them.

saki: I was the one who decided to take them without checking with anyone first, it's not Sotetsu-san's fault.

sotetsu: I'm not really sure what's going on, but I feel an apology is in order. My bad, Saki.

kei: Take these to the office already.

-he hands off the papers and steps towards saki-

kei: Saki, I'm finished with my duties at the store's entrance, so I'll escort you to your seat. I recommend you try the new seasonal sweets.

saki: I look forward to seeing your recommendation.

sotetsu: He really changes his demeanour at the drop of a hat.

yakou: Change formation during the interlude, and... Once Kei and Yoshino move in front I turn. ...I'm not very good at this step yet.

gui: We've finished closing up the shop, so you should start getting ready to leave.

yakou: Woah, it's already gotten that late? That went by quickly. Thanks for letting me know, I'll finish things up.

gui: Yakou, you seem a bit strange.

yakou: What? Strange?

gui: You've... changed somehow?

yakou: Oh that's what you meant. If I remember correctly I think you've said that to me once before. Back during the performance for 'Searching for the Galactic Railroad’ was it?

gui: This is different from back then.

yakou: Is that so? If you can explain it I'd be happy to know what it is you think has changed about me.

gui: Back then... your presence was more tense. It was direct and heavy. But now... It's not overwhelming, but strong.

yakou: Hahah, ok then. 'Strong' huh? I don't really get what you're trying to say here. But well... I may not get it but thanks for telling me.

yakou: I want to learn even more, but in order to do so I need to broaden the amount of things I'm able to do. The fact I feel this way is thanks to Kei letting me join in during the anniversary show. I couldn't keep up at all, it was honestly laughable. I was like 'oh god!' It really did make me laugh.

gui: Is that so...?

yakou: It's disheartening to realise there's a lot I'm still not capable of, but it's fun at the same time. And once I'm able to do more, I'm sure I'll be able to understand more as well.

gui: 'Understand'?

yakou: What I felt that day... It was simple, but it had infinite possibilities.

gui: Broadening your abilities is a good thing. I'm sure you'll be able to achieve it soon, Yakou.

yakou: I need to quickly, that way I won't be dragging you guys down. Let's work hard again tomorrow too, Gui.

akira: Ah, there you are. Wassup~

kei: Akira?

akira: I wanted to hand this over to you.

-he gives kei the envelope-

kei: (surprised) This is... Why was this in your possession?

akira: No need to glare at me like that. I just happened to see you and Heath having a little chat. Then after you had left, Heath threw this away.

kei: ........

akira: I didn't hear what you two were saying, I'm not into eavesdropping. I figured that must've been something you gave him for his sake. If I just gave it back to Heath he'd probably just chuck it again, so that's why I'm giving it to you.

kei: I see. My apologies.

akira: How come you're chuckling?

kei: Because I'm merely grasping at straws.

akira: What? You better not start talking like Sin as well. Anyways, that's all I needed to you give you.

rindou: Hm? Sinju and Zakuro?

sinju: Good work today Rindou. I was practising with Zakuro. You really surprised me, Zakuro, you're super easy to harmonise with. I keep getting goosebumps!

zakuro: Oh no no, to be praised as such is a great honour. Singing is simply one of the few things that this empty shell of mine is capable of. By the way, Rindou. You are looking well today, your face has a suitable amount of colour to it. Recently when I had met you at the old Starless building you looked awfully pale. I had been quite worried indeed.

rindou: I apologise for back then, however you can rest assured, I'm fine now.

zakuro: That's great to hear. Our bodies are important after all, let's both take care to treat them kindly. Sadly I have my floor shift now so I shall depart first. Farewell.

-zakuro leaves-

sinju: Rindou, was what he just said true, you went to the old Starless building?

rindou: Um, it was around after Mizuki and Mokuren had that versus about wanting to demolish it. After hearing them talk about it, I wondered how the place was holding up and went and visited it for the first time in ages.

sinju: If I remember correctly, didn't Saki-chan feel unwell when she visited there? She suddenly got really pale, it was scary.

rindou: They said it was because of the store didn't they. I'm not so sure what I believe myself, but I think it's best we stop visiting that place. It's falling to pieces after all.

sinju: H-Huh? Is it really in that bad of a state? The fence should be removed once the reconstruction work is done... Maybe I'll go and take a look. That store took good care of me after all.

yoshino: I'm almost done with the inventory check, how are you doing, Heath?

heath: I've stil got some boxes left.

yoshino: Let me know when you're done then. I'm going to move on to checking the next box.

heath: ...Merch sells a lot better than I thought.

kasumi: Were you surprised by the amount we stocked? The solo shows are similar but things really start selling during versus shows~ It's like the guests want to channel their desire for their favourites to win through their penlights.

yoshino: When I see them waving them about during the performance, it feels like they're telling me to do my best. Like they're saying 'I'm here watching you' or 'I'm here for you' it gives me courage.

heath: ...I'll have to try even harder then.

kasumi: No no, you're already giving it more than enough effort, Heath~ You're getting proper rest right? You've been looking pretty pale lately.

heath: Don't worry, I'm fine.

yoshino: It's not something an opponent would usually say, but seriously, don't overdo it.

heath: ...Hearing that from you isn't gonna persuade me. Right now... I need to give it my all.

kasumi: That's something you can only say once you've experienced overdoing it yourself huh, Yoshino. 

yoshino: ...Yeah.

kasumi: I get that there's something that you can't give up, Heath. And it's not something we're going to be able to convince you otherwise. However... because it's something that we can't intervene with, it makes it tough for us onlookers.

heath: I'll make sure not to overdo it. I'm going to buy some water.

-heath leaves-

kasumi: The decision during 'ONLY IF' was difficult wasn't it, is that why you're worried about Heath?

yoshino: Worried... I'm not sure that's what it is. I am a little envious of Heath though. Staying true to himself, moving forward and only singing with his own words, I wonder how it must feel. But still, I chose to wait, since I think another chance will come to me. But, no one knows if that will actually be the case. Heath is well aware of that, and I think that's why he keeps singing.

kasumi: It can be tough to choose whether to live your life at 0 or 100. But even so, you can't avoid having to choose which path to take.

-starless restaurant area-

qu: Why did the show become a versus this time?

mokuren: Someone must've done something someone else didn't agree with, that's how it always is.

qu: What would you have done? If a Team C show was planned but you were told it got changed last minute— Would you be mature about it and accept the postponement?

mokuren: I wouldn't make it my reason for a versus. The time you get up on stage is halved, and it still counts for a performance. Unless there's something else worth fighting over, I'd rather just wait for a proper show.

qu: Right?

mokuren: I couldn't care less about the reason for the versus, but I don't understand what B are trying to achieve here at all. What is up with that woeful performance? Their movements are all completely out of sync, it's gross just watching it.

qu: You're always paying attention to those details huh. Ah, we should go put our orders in after the encore.

-kitchen dining area-

hari: Good work out there.

mokuren: Today's staff meal is rice noodles? I wasn't in the mood to eat this but whatever.

hari: Qu, let me see. It won't turn back on, that's strange.

mokuren: You're hopeless with technology, just write the message on a piece of paper and hand it to the kitchen instead.

qu: I wasn't doing anything different to it though...

hari: Once I'm finished eating I have business to attend to in the office, so I'll bring the tablet with me to have Taiga check it. By the way, how was B's show?

mokuren: Terrible. That mess wasn't worth watching. It's only a matter of time before they get discontinued.

hari: Huh…?

qu: To go that far... When you make predictions like that you're rarely ever wrong so that's quite a worrying sentiment.

saki: (No matter how many interim results meetings I attend, they still make me nervous... Huh?)

-she looks at heath-

saki: Heath-san doesn't look well...

haseyama: Unei, hurry up and report the current results to them.

unei: Yes sir...! I will give the interim results for the Team K and Team B versus, currently the leading team is— Team K!

sotetsu: Oh, that's a good omen.

kei: K will always deliver the highest quality of shows. That fact is simply reflected in these results.

haseyama: Sheesh, as up yourself as always. ...Oi, he's looking like a corpse over there, are you sure he's still breathing?

heath: .....…..

haseyama: What's up with that ghastly face of yours. Are you even going to make it to the closing show?

mizuki: Oi shut it you shitty old man. Of course Heath can make it.

haseyama: It would be pretty shameful if the person who started the versus ends up collapsing before it's over.

heath: ...There's nothing wrong.

heath: Guh... (staggers)

-kei rushes over to support him- 

kei: Heath.

-heath pushes him away-

heath: I'm not accepting your help. ...Let's go, Mizuki, Lico.

haseyama: Hmph, does he really have it in him?

saki: (He really didn't look well...)

ran: Ah, ya back, good work! How were the results? B's winnin' right? We're the best after all!

lico: ........ (big sigh)

kongou: Are you ok, Lico?

lico: It's Heath, he can't keep going on like this. His complexion seriously makes him look dead and he was near unresponsive in the stage wings.

ran: Ah~ He has been pretty bad lately. He gets exhausted right away, it looks tough for him.

kongou: Even though he'd been looking a bit better... But he's always been the one with the least amount of stamina on our team.

lico: That's not what I'm talking about here. Even in our show tonight there were moments he missed lines. For mister MC Life to mess up his rap, he must be in an awful state.

kongou: Now that you mention it... He really mustn’t be feeling well.

ran: Where are Mizuki an' Heath anyways?

lico: I made Heath go home. Mizuki said he was buying him water.

kongou: Then once Mizuki comes back should we discuss Heath's situation with him?

lico: Discuss what, you really expect him to do anything about it?

-break room-

ginsei: I wonder if the interim results announcement is done yet.

gui: I wonder what the result will be...

yakou: It's just who's currently leading at the end of the day, Kei and the others should be back soon.

yoshino: You're pretty calm huh, Yakou.

yakou: Ah, yeah. I still have a lot of personal problems but I just have to do what I can. The guests' response to our show seemed to be good.

ginsei: .........

yakou: Rather than us, what I'm worried about is B.

yoshino: In today's show there were portions where Heath stopped singing entirely. The performers looked to be struggling to keep up too, I wonder if everything's ok.

gui: It was different from how B usually is. It didn't feel good to watch. Their movements... were all over the place.

takami: True, the other members were trying to cover for Heath, so everything fell out of sync.

yakou: Yeah, it was as if the whole show gradually decreased in quality.

yoshino: Kei must've been apprehensive because he knew this would happen and pushed their show back...

yakou: What?

yoshino: It's nothing. While I'm concerned for B all we can do is keep giving it our all.

Chapter 4 extra

-break room-

hari: Hello, Yakou.

yakou: Hey.

hari: You looked like you were having fun on stage today.

yakou: Yeah, I was finally able to sort out some of my thoughts, K's shows are really nerve wracking. We're mostly in sync but movements change and vary slightly during the real thing. If I deviate from that it'll ruin the vibe of the team's performances, so I was scared of messing up.

hari: That’s a good means of concentration you have there. Since you came back and were thrown into a versus right away I figured there must be a lot on your mind. However it seems my worry was unfounded. Would you agree, Yakou?

yakou: Is that meant to be a compliment?

hari: K's shows could only be described as gorgeous. 

yakou: That's because they're the embodiment of Kei's ideal performance. To always put on a show of the highest quality for the guests. Honestly I didn't think things would be that different from P, however the type of 'aesthetic' that was acceptable in P is unfavourable in K. Being able to grasp that aesthetic is important, which is what makes it difficult.

hari: That sort of thing isn't just restricted to K and P. Every team has its own sense of aesthetics and beauty. And I mean that in a broad sense, the definition of that beauty would change depending on who you ask.

yakou: Whichever way you put it, Ginsei sure is amazing huh. When he's in P, he embodies P and when he's in K, he embodies K. He's able to express either aesthetic when needed. Well, I'm going to try my best to achieve that too.

hari: You're busy with the versus performance too.

yakou: I wonder if Heath's ok. We see him backstage everyday and he hasn't been looking well.

hari: It's true that Kei had originally wanted to push B's performance back, could it be that... No, nevermind. In any case, even whilst the versus continues, someone should lend him a hand if needed.

-izakaya-

takami: Cheers.

kokuyou: Yeah.

-they clink glasses and drink-

kokuyou: ...Tell me the info you dug up on Nekome.

takami: Has that become your catchphrase? I'm not sure we should discuss that in an izakaya of all places.

kokuyou: Shut it, isn't this location better than the alternative, or would you rather talk at Starless?

takami: Here is fine. —To start, the fact that he's gotten himself involved with the underworld is true. However I don't know how deeply he's involved or the circumstances behind it. It could also be possible that he was caught up in it unwillingly.

kokuyou: On what basis are you saying this?

takami: He had been renting an apartment under a name that wasn't his own. When I investigated that thread I discovered a company. Meaning it's a company that deals under a fake name, there's no way a company like that could be respectable. And so, I tried paying a visit to the apartment Nekome was renting out and... If I had stayed there even a moment longer I would've been charcoal.

kokuyou: What...?

takami: The door was trapped. There was a wire attached to the handle which— Well, to put it more simply, let's just say someone had left a little gift akin to a claymore mine there to greet me. The gunpowder quality was poor, but if I'd taken a direct hit let’s just say I wouldn't be working as a cast member anymore.

kokuyou: The hell is that all about... All of that is way too fishy.

takami: I cannot confirm or deny that it was Nekome himself who set it up. We must also consider that it could've been a third party that rigged the place.

kokuyou: ...You’re saying it's not a zero percent chance that he was the one who did it though.

takami: Exactly.

kokuyou: Tch, that idiot.

takami: I would like to investigate things further. So that is all I can say today. Plus, our beers are getting warm.

heath: Would you give up during a show's run?

maica: Continuing to sing when you're not delivering the quality the guests deserve is just being self indulgent. My pride wouldn't allow me to do that.

heath: I'm giving it my all when I rap, so it won't be low quality. Thanks for the pep talk.

-heath leaves-

maica: It wasn't a mere pep talk... He can barely even walk straight.

menou: If you have a break pedal then you just have to press your foot down and stop.

maica: What are you on about...?

menou: However in the situation where there's no breaks, then there's no choice but to continue forwards. You have no choice but to keep moving. It's like in the fairy tale 'The Red Shoes'.

maica: That's the story about the little girl who puts on red shoes that force her to keep dancing forever right?

menou: Yep. In order to free herself from the curse to keep dancing, she ends up asking for both of her feet to be chopped off. There are more people out there than you might think that won't stop themselves. Even if stopping would be for their own good.

Omg silly requests...

Haii bestieeeee<333

Could you possibly do something with Olly, Autumn, Gold, and Silver? :0

And.. maybe perhaps something with Rain and Steven.. 👉👈

Uhuh... I don't really mind if you do angst or fluff... Maybe a mix of both? :0

— ahh apologies for how long this took me!! i've been fixated on other things so i kind of forgot i had requests to do </3 sorry again!!! i'm doing steven and rain first, and i'll do the poly in a seperate post, hope that's alright! also... since you did not specify, these are going to be headcanons! a bit short however... sorry! (to any of you who are curious, since it is not said in the request, rain and autumn are jamie's ocs, and olly is one of mine!)

pairing ; Rain x Steven

genre ; Fluff + Angst

TW's ; Mentions of death/strangulation, mentions of animal death.

fandom ; FNF Lullaby / Creepypasta

— Steven's actions with Rain quite depend on at which point we're talking about.

— Before Miki's accident, Steven was more of the quiet type. He wasn't exactly shy, but he just didn't speak much. This factor made him quite intimidating to other people, but Rain is one of the only few who knows he's actually a sweetheart.

— Rain might startle him sometimes. It wouldn't always be in surprise - he's sharp, and he often catches onto things before he can be surprised. When he's relaxed, it's easier, but still much harder than others, like Mike. This fact may or may not irritate Rain just a smidge, although it's still possible to catch him off guard.

— Surprise doesn't necessarily need to be a factor either, just certain antics may startle him as well, even if he knew it was going to happen.

— Remember how I said Steven was really a sweetheart, despite how intimidating he could seem sometimes? Yeah. He has issues expressing it sometimes, but he really cares for Rain, no matter if they're just friends or in a romantic relationship at the time. It's more often through actions that he does, but he often checks up on Rain and makes sure they're okay.

— Miki is the best wingman ever. Nothing more needs to be said on this.

— However, if it were set after Miki's accident, after he strangled Mike, that's a different story.

— If he even sees Rain at all after it is a whole question that could have several different answers. (In a roleplay we had, Steven had went to Rain's house immediately afterwards, so that is a possibility?)

— If he would, it wouldn't be likely that it was after news of Mike's death began to spread around. It would have to be soon, or else he'd be in hiding somewhere else, fled possibly the whole region with what was at one point his Miki. To anyone else, all they'd see would be the zombified corpse of a charizard, one that'd surely be in some pain.

— He'd end up hiding away with Rain. He'd never go outside, probably. Even if he isn't taken into custody, even if nobody checked on Mike... By the time any sort of guilt sets in, how could he go outside and face the world? His anger from Miki's death boils over with a mixture of guilt for killing the only family he was as close with as he was with Mike, creating a horrible mix inside his body. Something that felt like acid inside his organs.

— It isn't likely he'd really recover fully from this. Rain isn't a licensed therapist in any means, and they probably wouldn't be able to get him outside to go to therapy, especially since they won't go themselves. But what they could do is comfort him, the best they can that is. Just stay there with him.

— He probably wouldn't want to be home alone, so he'd probably not like it if Rain left. But Steven would have to understand that, somebody is going to have to get groceries. And it definitely isn't him, and definitely isn't Miki.

— I'm not sure how to really end this, but, maybe Rain and Steven can get through their issues together. If I remember correctly, they aren't all that different, are they?

You know those episodes in shows where it's one of the character's birthday, and all the other characters "forget" that it's their birthday, but really they're just planning a surprise party for them or something?

Well I CAN NOT express HOW MUCH this specific type of episode ANGERS ME

There's one in Wild Kratts. There's sort of one in Phineas and Ferb (if I'm remembering Isabella's Birthday correctly). There's one in LEGO Friends, which I haven't watched in about TEN YEARS, and that's the only episode I remember because I just HATE IT SO MUCH.

If my friends did that to me (I had some fake friends previously and don't trust people that much anymore) I would ABSOLUTELY think that they forgot my birthday. I would ABSOLUTELY think that they don't care about me. That is one of the WORST things that you could do to a friend, someone you care about and who cares about you.

Yes, you can plan a surprise birthday party for them. Yes, you can have a groupchat with everybody in the friend group except them to plan said party (although I suppose this could be risky). Yes, you can... whatever. You can do whatever you need to do to get it done, but DON'T LIE to them. Don't lie to them about being somewhere when you're going to be setting up the party or something, especially if it's somewhere that they could easily go and check, and then find out you're NOT THERE (taking this from LEGO Friends lmao). Don't respond with "it's just a tuesday" when they're like "today's a special day, isn't it?"

I mean, you could give them a card. You could give them a small present or something. You can at least tell them "happy birthday". DO SOMETHING so that they know that you DID NOT FORGET their birthday. Because if it was my birthday and I was being ignored all day, and then later that day they were like "hey come with me" I bet I wouldn't go with them. And it wouldn't even have to be my birthday. Either way, I'd probably be thinking "these guys are the shittiest people ever, I'm not gonna go hang out with them now". It would ruin my entire day, and now all I would wanna do is just sit in my room by myself and watch a movie or something. I would absolutely not wanna hang out with them ever again. I would absolutely not wanna be friends with them anymore.

Anyway yeah, I just dislike these episodes so much. I mean they're probably the reason I have a mild hate towards certain characters of shows, whoever was most involved in the "no there's nothing special today" part

[avlerie]

Hey guys! So I opened up a Ko-fi ^^ 

If you’d like to support me, it would be greatly appreciated -- but I love you guys either way <3

Also!! @alifeasvivid wrote up the cutest quick fic based off of my illustration here and they gave me permission to post them together! Thank you again, Sonder, I love it and all the support you offer me -- you’re simply amazing

Twenty-two year old Alfred F. Jones is definitely the most popular guy at the office where he works. He does I.T., social media, and design work for a growing literary magazine, which is mostly published online. They do, however, put out an issue in print once a year and Alfred does the typesetting and most of the artwork for that as well.

It had started out as just a freelance job he'd picked up on Fiver. The editor-in-chief and co-founder of the magazine, twenty-six year old Arthur Kirkland, had requested Alfred's help. Apparently, Arthur's founding partner had skipped out on him and had taken all of the technological know-how between the two of them with her right as the magazine was about to launch. Alfred had done as much as he could with Arthur's budget... and then quite a bit more at no charge because he felt sorry for Arthur and the situation his partner had left him with.

At least, that's what he told Arthur.

But the truth is that Alfred had become very smitten with Arthur almost instantly after meeting him. They had met at a cafe once and Arthur had been frazzled, but determined. He had been direct about asking for Alfred's help, but gracious in receiving it. He was adorable and cranky and witty and sarcastic and smart and ridiculously hot in a way of which he is still clearly unaware.

So now Alfred has a full-time job, which he supposes is good. Arthur can't really provide benefits yet and freelancing usually provided more income, but Alfred is so in love with Arthur at this point that it hardly matters. In fact, Alfred is Arthur's only full-time employee. The rest of the editing staff are all part-time or freelance. The best thing about that is there are always a couple days a week where Alfred is alone in the office with Arthur, but when any of the others are there, Alfred is definitely the most popular guy in the office.

The reason for Alfred's popularity is simple. He has everyone's schedules memorized and he knows all of their Starbucks orders by heart--including Arthur's. Especially Arthur's. He only has everyone else's memorized because of Arthur. The problem is that if he only brings Arthur his tea every morning, everyone will think he’s a kiss-up, or worse, it could entirely give away the fact that he is head over heels for Arthur.

Not that it isn't totally obvious already.

Today is the day that everyone is in the office. It's the day before a publication, so the entire team is all hands on deck. This means that Alfred comes in a little bit later than normal, his left arm precariously balancing two drink carriers, his backpack slung over his right shoulder while his right hand holds yet another drink carrier. His car keys are caught between his teeth by the plastic Tardis keychain.

Everyone smiles and thanks Alfred as he passes out the drinks, knowing which ones belong to whom without even having names on them at this point. He nods, smiles back, and lets them work. His part won't begin until theirs is done.

He sets Kiku's green tea Frappuccino on the corner of his desk, grinning even though Kiku barely glances up at him.

"Thank you," he says sincerely and Alfred almost walks away, but Kiku continues, "It is nice of you that all of us benefit from your desire to do something... attentive for Mr. Arthur," he remarks placidly without glancing up from his laptop screen.

Alfred's smile falters slightly, "Uh... what?"

Kiku smiles without moving a single muscle. "Forgive me, Mr. Alfred, I have much work still to do and it seems you have one more cup to distribute."

Alfred looks down at the grande hot tea in his hand, splashed with just the right amount of milk and topped with just a dash of cinnamon. "Oh, right. Okay." He tosses the now-empty drink carriers in the trash and walks over to Arthur's desk. "Hey," he tries to say mildly as he holds out Arthur's tea.

"Oh Alfred, thank you," Arthur takes the tea from him and takes a substantial sip from it. "You're a lifesaver." He then looks around at the rest of his staff, drinks perched on the corners of their desks or being downed quickly as they work. "You do this too much, you know. You can't possibly afford it based on the salary I pay you."

Alfred grins lopsidedly, "Nah, it's okay. Usually it’s just yours and mine anyway.”

Arthur sets the tea down and leans forward, scanning Alfred intently. "Well, I... I would like to pay you back." His cheeks turn pink and his eyes flit away briefly.

"It's really no problem. I still do a little freelancing on the side, so it's fine."

Arthur huffs in that cute way he sometimes does when he's flustered and it always makes Alfred feel a little giddy and dumbstruck. "Even so, I... I think that I should... that you and I should go..." he chews on his lip for a moment. "I would like to take you out for coffee some time. My treat."

"You want to buy me coffee?"

Arthur crosses his arms and looks away. He takes a deep breath and stares Alfred down, pinker than ever. "I want to take you out for coffee and somehow convince you to go on several more dates with me and then by some miracle become your boyfriend and then one day defy all the odds in the Universe by marrying you," he says on one jumbled exhale. "But... coffee will suffice for now."

Warnings - None! Pure fluff!

Last chapter | Next chapter

a/n - Another part, who am I?

"How did you manage to convince me to do this?" Y/N asked as she unpacked supplies from her car and brought them over to the boys as Jake and Danny set up chairs around the fire that Sammy was building.

"If I remember correctly, you got very giddy about the idea of camping out for the night." Josh said, walking up behind her holding an armful of various types of alcohol.

"I somehow forgot that it gets cold out here at night."

Josh leaned in closer to her so that only she could hear him, "I'm sure Jakey wouldn't mind keeping you warm tonight."

She turned to him with a stern look, and a blush overtaking her face.

"Oh come on, don't give me that look, don't you remember what we talked about so very long ago at the red rocks amphitheater?"

"Which night?" She asked, choosing to act oblivious in the hopes of avoiding the conversation.

"Come on Y/N... second night... soundcheck. I know you remember." — Red Rocks Amphitheater... one night to remember... one night she'll never forget.

The boys had invited her out for the two nights that would be performing at the Red Rocks Amphitheater, she couldn't make it for the first night, but she was bound and determined to make it to the second to see her boys doing what they love, so she got to Colorado as fast as she could.

Josh met her at the airport when she touched down, and was quick to embrace her with their signature hug, which meant her feet were once again off the ground within minutes of being off the plane.

"By the way, Jake doesn't know you're coming." Josh said as he placed her back on solid ground and picked up one of her bags for her.

She looked at him with shock as he strolled off casually.

"Josh!" She exclaimed as she jogged to catch up with him.

"Yes my dearest." He replied.

"Why doesn't Jake know that I'm here?"

"Thought it would be a fun surprise, for both of you really." He explained.

She walked beside him in silence for the duration of the walk to the car, but once they had gotten in they struck up a conversation like nothing else was going on.

The thing about Josh was, being Jake's twin, and Y/N's best friend, he knew everything.

EVERYTHING.

He knew that Y/N and Jake had been in love with each other since high school at least, but she knew the Kiszka family since childhood, so they've always been inseparable.

Arriving at the venue, she could hear the soundcheck as Sam played around on keys.

"Put this on, keep your head down, and come to the stands with me." Josh said, handing you a baseball cap and continuing on his way to the seats.

Y/N was once again utterly confused, but obliged with her strange friend. Nearly tripping over herself to catch up with him.

They sat down and watched Sam play for a few minutes before he stood up to go off stage and talk with the tech guys, but not before looking at his phone, then into the stands.

"You gonna say hi to Sammy?" Josh asked, leaning over to her.

She lifted her cap from her covered face, and smiled at the lanky boy on the stage, sending him a friendly wave. Sam waved back and smiled before practically skipping off stage.

"He's not going to tell Jake is he?" She asked, as she readjusted her cap to cover her face once again.

"Of course not, him and Danny are in on the plan, the only one that doesn't know you're here is Jake." Josh explained.

"What is your plan here Josh?" Y/N asked. She knew the boy was brewing up something in that excellent brain of his, but she just wasn't sure exactly what it could be.

"Listen to me carefully Y/N, you and I both know that you and Jake are head over heals for each other -"

"Josh it's -" She tried to interject, but he kept talking.

"I am convinced that you are my soulmate Y/N, but not in a romantic way I promise, that would be weird. You and I are meant to be in each others lives, to guide one another and be there for each other as long as we are in each others lives. Do you understand?" He asked.

"Yes Jake, I understand, but what does this have to do with Jake?" She asked, and as if on cue she heard the sound of a '61 Les Paul play over the speakers.

She raised her head, just enough to see Jake standing center stage, doing his signature tilt as he played a few riffs before walking to his pedals, continuing to play as he walked around.

She couldn't help the look of adoration that spread across her face as she watched him play, and Josh took notice, as always.

"That is what I mean Y/N, you look at him like he is the only person in the universe. Do you know what a twin flame is?" He asked.

"Josh, look me in the eye and ask me that question again. Of course I know."

"Alright, so it should be blatantly obvious why I think you and Jake are meant for more than just staring at each other when the other isn't looking and wishing for something more than friendship."

She stared at him for a few moments, dumbfounded by what he had just said. She didn't think he was wrong. She couldn't deny that she loved Jake more than she could even try to describe, but they were friends, and that's all they ever had been.

"Did you know that he calls you his girl?" Josh asked, breaking the silence.

"Yeah, every time he has said it he gets all flustered and tries to change the subject as quickly as possible." She said, a smile spread across her face.

"I don't just mean accidentally saying it to you Y/N, I mean when your not around, he lets it slip so often, it's actually sickening how much he adores you."

She looked from Josh to Jake, who was riffing on stage, when a loud call came from beside you.

"JAKEY!" Josh screamed, waving his arms around in an attempt to get his brothers attention.

Jake looked around with a confused look on his face, still plucking away on his guitar, but he smiled when he caught sight of his twin waving like a mad man in the stands. She took this as a que from Josh, and lifted her head, taking off the hat and waving Jake.

Baking Fails with Sugawara Koushi, Sakusa Kiyoomi, Tendou Satori, Miya Osamu, and Ushijima Wakatoshi

Warnings: You are depicted as a housewife but other then that, none, pure fluff, full of love, will give you a cavity from how sweet it is

a/n: This is dedicated to @sugaslittleangel ( this is the recipe I based the melonpan on)

Sugawara Koushi:

Okay

This guy is literal sweetheart

You could have burned down the kitchen and all he would say is, "Well, I was thinking of remodelling anyways" <3

But any who

You wanted to make your lover cookies

Homemade cookies

So, you get all the ingredients and start making the dough

You didn't do the measurements correctly though, and the dough is kind of clumpy

Thinking that it won't matter, you roll the dough into little balls and set it on to the baking sheet

When the timer rings, you pull then out excitedly, only to pout

Why do they look so... Ugly?

You wait for the cookies to cool a bit before taking a bite of it and-

Oh my god, that is the worst cookie you haver ever tasted

You spit it out and decide that you'll add more oil and butter to the batter

That didn't turn out well

After trying a couple more times, you are close to tears in the middle of the kitchen floor

Only for Koushi to walk in on the mess you have created

And you crying on the floor

He crouches next to you and asks gently, "What's wrong, Sugar?"

You look at him and point at the mess

"I failed to bake you cookies" You sob

Hoe looks at the cookies and each pan looks different to the next

And what does this sweet little big shit do?

He eats them

A cookie from every. Single. Pan

And he eats them like they are the tastiest cookies he has ever had

After he finishes, he leans down and wipes the tears from your face

"Don't cry, Sugar. They are delicious. I love you"

He kisses you on the head and helps you stand up

"Now, let's clean this up"

Sakusa Kiyoomi:

You are an absolute sweetheart to him

And he loves it

You always make his bentos for lunch

You also make sure to add his beloved umeboshi and he's always greatful

So, when you are feeling extra ambitious, you decide to make melonpan

Which was probably not the smartest idea since you have never baked bread before

So, you start with the cookie dough, which is easy enough, and then the bread dough

Now this

This is when you done fucked up

But you didn't even realize it at the time

Music playing, you singing along, you didn't realise that you put too much flour

So, when you put the bread in and take it out, you stare in disappointment

The bread didn't rise

You figure that okay, fine, I'll just do it again

And you do

But this time, it was burnt

What's worse, you hear the door close and Omi calling your name

You freak and immediately go to stop Omi from coming into the kitchen

But you are too late

And Omi walks in on the disaster you made of the kitchen

He looks around, curious and somewhat annoyed

"What's... Going on, y/n?"

You look at him, then look away and mutter, "I was trying to make you melonpan, but it didn't go well..."

He sighs, "Y/n, you made a mess. Please clean it up"

You look at him and when you see the annoyed look on his face, you suddenly start crying

His eyes widen and automatically he's pulling you into an embrace, shh-ing you and apologizing

"I- I'm sorry, y/n. I didn't mean to upset you. It's just- practice was extra hard today. And Bokuto wouldn't shut the fuck up. Please, forgive me?"

"I'm sorry, too, Omi. Let me clean this up and get started on dinner. You go take your shower and relax, yeah?"

He let's go of you and shakes his head

"We'll clean this together, than you can prepare dinner"

You smile fondly at him and get to work

Tendou Satori:

Okay, so we all know that Tendou is a sweetheart

Especially you

So when you decide that you want to return the favor, you go out and buy ingredients for brownies

And get started immediately after kissing him goodbye

Tying the pink apron around your waist, you pour the ingredients into the mixing bowl

After you think it's mixed, you set them into the pan and stick then in the oven

When the timer goes off, you snatch the brownies out of the oven

After letting the brownies cool, you take a knife and go to take a piece to try it

But the brownie won't cut

You struggle to just get that little piece and when you do get it, it's hard as a rock

You don't know what you did to fuck it up this badly, but Tendou wasn't supposed to come home anytime, so you figure that as long as you clean up and hide the failure that you call brownies

Too bad Tendou got out early from work and decided to surprise you

Singing your name as he closes the door, he quickly rids himself of his shoes and starts looking for you

You, on the other hand, are freaking out

You don't want Tendou to know about your failed attempt at baking

But then he walks into the kitchen and grins while humming out

"Oh? Did you make me brownies, paradise? Well, don't mode if I do!"

He grabs the piece that you had cut out and finishes it like it was the most delicious thing he has ever had

You stared at him, confused

"Didn't that hurt to chew?"

Tendou shakes his head and goes to get another piece

"It's delicious, Y/N! Thank you for spending time and doing this"

You smile softly and hug him from behind

"I love you, Satori."

Miya Osamu:

Okay, albeit, you can't cook for shit

And you definitely can't bake

But you still wanted to make something for your lover

So you decide to make something easy

And that would be chocolate chip cookies

You mix the ingredients in the boil and brush it off when the dough looks a little liquidy

Not a word but whatever-

After setting them in the oven and setting the timer, you clean up the mess you left

When the timer goes off, you hop to it, fetching them out of the oven and setting them down

And-

Why do they looking so... Disgusting??

You wait for the cookies to cool down a bit before tasting one

And it tasted fine, if not a little bit off

But... They were so ugly

You sigh sadly and almost jump out of your skin when you hear someone ask

"Why the sigh, Y/N?"

You turn around, for getting about the cookies and grin

"'Samu!! What are you doing home so early?"

He smiles at you and walks the rest of the way to you, placing a kiss on your head while explaining the reason

"I closed the shop early today. Why does it smell so good in here?"

You frown when remembering the cookies and tell him

"I tried making you cookies, but they didn't turn out like I thought they would..."

He hums in acknowledgement and grabs a cookie from the sheet, biting into it and smiling

"They taste delicious, Y/N. Thank you"

You look up at him and silently thank the Lord for giving you such a lovely husband

Ushijima Wakatoshi:

You both can't bake for crap

Like, you've tried and tried

But they wither come out burnt or disgusting

But you decided that you would try one more time

So you start to make the batter for cake

Angel cake, to be exact

But the one thing you forgot about is that the center piece can be removed

So, after pouring the batter into the pan, you grab it by the top

And the batter goes everywhere

You watch in utter horror as the batter forms a puddle

You quickly go to grab a towel to and bowl

Scooping the batter into the bowl, you hear the door open

And now you are now full on panicking and ready to cry

Ushijima, on the other hand, is calling out your name and were you are

He searches the living room and bedroom before figuring out that you are in the kitchen

And that's were he finds you, scooping up batter while tears fall from your eyes

"I'm I'm really sorry, Toshi." You hiccuped and he stares in shock before kneeling down to stop you

"Go get cleaned up, sweetheart. Let me do this, okay?"

You nod your head and head towards the bathroom as he cleans up the mess

You change into shorts and his sweatshirt, wanting nothing more than to snuggle into his arms

He walks out when he's finished cleaning and finds you curled on the couch

"Sweetheart, I'm going to take a shower real quickly and than we can get takeout, watch some movies, okay?"

You nod and apologize one more time

"It's okay, honey. Just relaxed. I'll be out soon."

2 hours later and you guys are cuddling on the couch with your head on his chest

He was stroking your hair as you slept and he couldn't have asked for a better wife

Going Dark - Part 1

"Alex"

Safe House 110197, Brazil

Alex woke up to the smell of Samantha's shampoo. God, she smelled so beautiful. He thought as he shifted his position carefully, trying not to disturb his sleeping girl.

Samantha caught wind of his actions and turned back to him. 

"Good Morning." Alex greeted with the most wholesome and lovable smile he could ever conjure. He could see Samantha actually blush at his smile, meaning that his charm still worked toward her even after all those times.

"Good Morning… you-" She greeted back but Alex immediately met her lips with his, turning a simple morning greeting into a hot make out session. Samantha ran her hand across his arm down to his chest, pushing the tough muscle as her eyes slowly closed, enjoying the way Alex's mouth moved inside hers.

"I wish I could just sit out this mission and stay here with you…" he mused, tapping her nose and smiling.

"You go out there and fix the world, hero. I'll be here when you get back." She winked as Alex slowly got up and left the room, his eyes never leaving hers until he was out of sight.

Alex stepped out of the stairs to the view of Price complaining about the water. Roach was already shuffling to the kitchen to satisfy their Captain's needs. This gave Alex the chance to check on Maxine.

"How are you holding up, Maxine." He asked.

"What's wrong, lass?" Price inserted sipping his morning coffee.

"Hey Alex, Captain Price…" She greeted, her voice was shaky but she looked like she had the courage to respond.

"I had a strange dream last night… I believe it was one of my memories." She spoke softly. Price and Alex's face lit up.

"That's good news!" Alex cheered, shaking her shoulders and quickly withdrawing his hands as soon as it felt awkward.

"Good on ya, lass. Cheers to that!" He raised his mug and nodded.

"Captain Price." Another familiar voice interrupted behind them.

"I have intel on Shadow Company." Ghost announced, everyone fell silent and they immediately gathered around the command center. Soap and France followed as they walked down the stairs together.

"Three addresses in three separate London Apartments." he informed while typing furiously across the keyboard. The map had three yellow blinking dots, two of them were close to each other while one was far away.

"Intel says they're not sure which of these had a Shadow Company residing in it. They're most probably on leave and might be armed." Ghost added, showing three faces of men which were presumed targets for intel.

"Where'd you get these? They look like very classified information." Price asked, crossing his arms and looking at Ghost.

"Let's just say I know someone." he replies smugly.

"And why would we follow such a lead?" Jack added, making the situation very awkward for the rest of the team.

"Is this…" Soap tried to insert.

"Yes, Soap. It's interpol." he finished. The rest of the team looked at each other.

"They wanted to investigate more on the Shadow Company. But since they aren't authorized to act on it, all they do is gather information. Which is frustrating-" Ghost complained but got cut off by Price.

"They're asking for our help because we're rogue. No rules, no anything…" He stated the bitter tone in his voice was too clear.

"We can't just casually fly to London, right? Who's helping us?" Alex stated the larger problem at hand. If this lead is solid enough, they have to act on it.

"Nikolai could fly us in. I could pull a few favors from S.A.S. but they're going to have to be sneaky to let us land there. We can't forget the fact that we're fugitives. I mean, Shepherd only put Me, Alex, Soap, Ghost and Roach on his list." Price said.

"My dream of being wanted came true in the worst way possible." Soap cracked a joke to lighten up the mood. It obviously worked except for Jack, who always never gets the humor.

They continued briefing, planning the route that they would take saving the most time. Which weapons to use and other protocols to follow. 

~

"Saving the world once again, my hero?" Samantha leaned on him as he continuously flicked Soap's lighter.

"Stop calling me that. I'm no hero. I'm just trying to set things back the way they were." 

"Like what heroes do." Samantha chuckled sitting next to him and rested her head on his lap.

"My Dad probably misses me so much." She sighed, looking at Alex as he looked down on her, his fingers played with her hair.

"If we could find the perfect time, we could tell him you're safe. It's unfair how the whole world thinks we took you as a hostage." he complained.

"Well, when you think of it I really am a prisoner here." she mused as Alex's eyebrows furrowed in confusion. Then once his brain cells finally agreed, he smiled and laughed.

"Oh I get it." he reached for her hand and put it close in his heart. 

"You're trapped in here aren't you." they both laughed.

"That's so corny, right?" Samantha giggled.

"Yeah. It is." Alex replied as they continued to spend the rest of the few hours they had together before flying to the Majesty's domain.

LONDON

UNITED KINGDOM

Price wasn't able to land on the S.A.S. base, but they did assist the rogue team to land on an open area not too far from the base and Nikolai seemed to be fine with it. The team borrowed MacMillan's jeep and took the road less traveled to the city. 

Everyone looked alert and worried, this was a risky move but it was all they had to get to Shepherd, to get to Nero.

They drove as fast as they legally could, knowing that their faces wouldn't be recognized by anyone until Ghost distributed his extra skull masks, which allowed them to move freely across the streets of the nearest target location.

The first apartment room was located on the third floor, that meant they had to ascent two flights of stairs without raising suspicion. Ghost immediately worked his way to the basement and disabled the lights.

A quick flicker and the building's lights immediately shut off, making some of the tenants scream in surprise. It was time to move.

The team slowly crept the stairs, their steps were light enough that they could only hear faint creaking. Price led the line as they cleared the hallway all the way up to the third. 

Alex was behind Price as he saw the target room's door was slightly ajar. It's either they're lucky he forgot to lock it or they were too late. Proceeding with extreme caution, Price swung the door open and continued to scour the room for the guy. 

"Right door, clear." Price announced as everyone scattered around to look for intel. Jack searched the closets hoping that clues were left behind inside pockets. Roach looked for the drawers while Price and Alex looked for clues of possible escape. 

"Someone's going up to this floor." Soap whispered as he signaled the team to remain quiet. He was by the door on lookout for the team.

Complete silence. Alex could only hear his breathing and his heartbeat as the person walked past the hall, not minding the open room he just passed through.

They took a few more minutes of intel gathering until they ultimately decided to call it off. It was a dead lead.

"Two more houses." Ghost announced as the team silently regrouped by the car where Nikolai was waiting. The lights immediately returned as soon as they set foot on the vehicle.

"I sure hope we get something from the next house." Roach wished as they drove to the next location.

The second location almost had the same layout. They did the same plan but this time Alex and Soap switched roles. Guard duty was significantly harder when it's dark and Alex did his best to heighten his senses. 

Signs of struggle were heard from the inside and Alex assumed they finally identified one of the targets. He could hear the person's groans and struggles as well as his team working hard to constrain the person.

"Ghost. It looks like they got him." Alex reported as he could hear Ghost working on something. Then in just a flash, the lights turned back on along with a loud booming sound of Rick Astley's "Never Gonna Give You Up". Alex entered the room and looked at the poor guy being surrounded by his squad. He was trying to scream for help but Rick Astley begged to differ. 

"We're just here for one simple question…

WHERE. IS. SHEPHERD?" Price roared. The guy didn't easily give in. He just shook his head and continued to struggle free. Jack immediately pulled his hand and placed some pliers in between the hostage's fingers.

"Isn't that a little bit too harsh?" Soap whispered to Roach, who just shrugged.

"What's harsh is that they used an innocent daughter as bait." Jack slowly squeezed the pliers making the hostage scream. 

"AAAAAAAAAH." He squirmed making the rest of the team hold him tight. Alex had his eyes set on the door as neighbors started to complain about the booming music.

He squirmed enough that it activated something in his pocket, a smartphone whose light shone through the fabric of his pants. Then in a flash, a small scale EMP blast rendered the whole building quiet. All electrical devices were disabled and Alex and the team found themselves kneeling as the loud ringing triggered their ears.

None of them were too quick to react as their hostage looked like he wasn't affected by the blast. He bolted toward the exit and Alex attempted to grab him by the foot, only for him to effortlessly shrug him off and stomp on him, causing him to roll in pain.

From the corner of his eye, he could see Soap follow along with Roach, who were still holding their ears and wincing from the pain of the ringing.
