fem reader. matching halloween costumes with bllk characters. bllk x reader. fluff. characters (separate): michael kaiser, oliver aiku, bachira meguru, hiori yo, chigiri hyoma, kunigami rensuke, itoshi sae+rin, isagi yoichi, shidou ryuusei, nagi seishiro, mikage reo

#

michael kaiser - joker x harley quinn

• this man is certified bonkers so of course he’s the joker and as his loyal worshipper you’re harley quinn

• perhaps a prophecy of the status of your relationship perhaps you just look stylish (ITS THE SECOND ONE PLEASE PICK THE SECOND ONE)

• such a softie for you but would never admit it, you chose the costume and he made sure to get the finest ones money could buy though the pictures you took…he’d rather not see himself dressed as a clown criminal mastermind.

#

oliver aiku - nick & judy (zootopia)

• this was his idea, y’know damn well this man is a party animal so you just have to trust he’s not cheating

• so he decides to make you feel better, he’ll bring you along and do matching costumes. • i just know this man likes putting on animal ears and kids movies thats why y’all are nick and judy

#

bachira meguru - thing 1 & 2

• remember how he got called a weirdo as a kid? he’s definitely a weirdo. eats toothpaste, drinks milk from the carton, milk before cereal. a total goof ball

• he loves children’s books and even as at his big age of 17 he still makes you read them to him and pretends he’s a kid going to bed (IN A WHOLESOME WAY)

• so when the halloween party came up he wanted to go as his favourite book characters, thing 1 & 2. and of course you agreed

#

hiori yo - kuromi and my melody

• of course he’s my melody and you’re kuromi. this was his idea so he gets first dibs

• being the gamer he is he enjoys playing with you, you two are always the cringe couple in the lobby with matching usernames and avatars and he does all the carrying but he also enjoys playing those silly little retro girls games like ‘hamham heartbreak’ and the old cardcaptor sakura games.

• in conclusion he’s a total nerd thats a total sucker for the female gaze

#

chigiri hyoma - team rocket

• this man is a total princess and every year you guys dress as a cartoon couple only to do the same costume the next year but switch the roles so one year he might be james and the next jesse

• this year he’s james, he even did a temporary dye on his hair for accuracy but of course no cutting.

• he loves doing hair with you and for this year’s costume you were the one washing and dyeing his hair

#

kunigami rensuke - raven and beast boy

• you like cartoons, he likes superheroes, you both need a cute matching costume, easy compromise. you both came up with this together while brainstorming

• this man is a lovesick loser so beast boy was very easy to pull off and the most perfect costume for the two of you. the only real inaccuracy is that he’s pretty big

• homemade costumes for the win, of course you’ll buy bits and pieces but overall a homely look because rensuke will do anything to bond with you

#

itoshi sae - light and misa

• sae canonically likes chibi maruko san, who’s to say he isn’t a big weeb? in fact this was his idea. he’s really convincing when it comes to halloween

• he’s a lot like light, cold, calculating, smart so it suited him and besides since light dresses similarly it only fit and since you’re so hopelessly in love with him, it was destiny

• sae isn’t the type to work with his hands but he also didn’t like the quality of pre made costumes. living in europe gave him refined taste so you two went on a designer shopping spree for individual pieces to make your costumes.

#

itoshi rin - coraline’s parents

• you’re probably a total wuss, even if you’re not, rin still can consume more horror, gore, and other gross things than anyone. accumulating in him wanting to do a matching costume with you only if it was some horror character.

• you agreed and settled on coraline since it’d be fun and easy, to match you dressed as coraline’s parents, specifically the other parents with the button eyes

• your favourite part was doing his hair and makeup, rin is like a cat taking a bath you really had to pin him to his office chair or on the bed to do his makeup properly, and yeah theres plenty of kisses

#

isagi yoichi - alice and the cheshire cat

• he’s so bland, (im kidding pls dont come for me) but he loves you so, so he’ll sacrifice the main character spot for you just this once. you’re alice and he’s the cat, of course this was completely your idea

• yoichi doesn’t care too much for this kind of thing, he originally intended to spend halloween cuddling and watching movies with you, perhaps invite some friends over or have some fun without them if you know what i mean….

• but he enjoyed being your cute kitty for a night, you dragged him out and about to take pictures and being blue lock’s hero there was no short of attention

#

shidou ryusei - cleo denile and deuce

• ryusei is very eccentric, kind of weird, in a hot way not in a cute way like meguru. and as you made him watch boo york with you he took one look at cleo and was like “yeah” so in away it was your idea but not really

• you’re his princess and he’s the douche looking boyfriend, i’m not sure about you but it most definitely suits him.

• as you guys went out and about this halloween you know he’s already thinking about next year, perhaps raven queen and derick charming. maybe barbie and ken?

#

nagi seishiro - veggie tales

• let me tell you i’ve actually done this costume irl, seishiro is a lazy fellow he doesn’t like putting in much effort but he’s a cutie patootie and he does adore his pookie

• matching costumes was your idea, to dress as the cucumbers from veggie tales however was his idea as all he had to do was buy the costumes and look cute

• fan reactions and his friends; they found it so stupid it was hilarious, compared to all the other celebrity couples costumes you two chose….children’s cartoons.

#

mikage reo - the adam’s parents

• he’s rich so it’s gotta be classy, you two were going to some gala held by his family company, the mikage corporation, cute and classy lets go

• reo really isn’t one for movies so this was your idea, he’s a total simp for you, absolutely floored all the time with no exception. kissing you up and grovelling at your feet like his morticia adams

• in the end your costume really did suit the occasion made for the best pictures. you guys are now pinterest king and queen every halloween

School’s been kicking my ass so i had to do this quickly, anyway what are you guys dressing up as this year?

Deviantart Anniversary/Story

I forgot to post this two days ago so here it is. Warning, it's a long story so I hope you have a free time to read.

I created my very first social media account was Deviantart on October 6, 2007. I was living in Orlando for attending college and it was my first time being away from home, renting an apartment, and creating my own account. I started college in July 2007 and was majoring for Multimedia Design(which changed into Digital Media). A week after I started my second quarter, I decided to create my DA account. Quick note, here's the link of what Deviantart looks like back in 2007 by using Wayback Machine so you can get the idea.

Before I made my account, I first discovered the site back in early 2006 when I was browsing through Kingdom Hearts fan site and went to the gallery page section. It was showing fan art from other fans with links of their social media sites(MySpace, Deviantart, etc.). One pic I found was none other than the artist is called Keysha-chan as she was a huge Kingdom Hearts fan and drew them as cute chibis by using Copic markers. I checked out her DA page and I was amazed of her talent as she's the same age as I am. She not only drew KH but she also drew Final Fantasy, Fullmetal Alchemist, Jax and Daxter. She even made her own manga by creating her original characters, Elemental Goddess. She's no longer on Deviantart as she's now active on Instagram(which I follow her) and changed the username to KeyshaKitty.

After I created my DA account, she was the first person I watched. I saved the tutorials such as the markers and plushies. I learned some of it as I'm still learning how to use markers(you'll probably see some of them on my Tumblr page). She was the reason why I created my DA account. Back then, there was a lot of great art; fan art, original art, photography, CSS layouts, etc. There was no AI, people don't mind the 'cringe' art, no one accused you of being 'racist/homophobic/etc.', no SJW's, no walking on eggshells, and so forth. Sure, there was art theft and some trolls but nothing too major like what's happening on Twitter/X or on Facebook today.

I posted my first journal entry and introduced myself then went on following/faving spree.

I couldn't post my artwork till two days after I made the account because I didn't have printer/scanner back then and can only rely at college. It was Sunday when I first logged in and the school was closed. I couldn't upload my pics on Monday as I was starting my class and stay behind to use their Photoshop programs(back then, I didn't have Photoshop). I posted this pic on Tuesday as it was my OC's(which it needs some serious update and I'm making changes) while using some Photoshop. Please excuse my crappy pic as I didn't know what Mary Sue was or that the anatomy was way off. I am planning to remake the pic in the future.

As the date says, I was using the school's computers to put together my pic and it was before I made the account.

I later posted few more pics; two of them were my oil paintings I made when I was sixteen and one photo of Lake Placid, FL that my family used to go on weekends.

Later on, I watched another user who goes by Lily Pily and she was a big Nightmare Before Christmas/Corpse Bride/Kingdom Hearts fan. I read her crossover fan comics and loved her OC's which she became the first deviant to do an art trade with. I asked her if she can draw Emily from Corpse Bride while she asked me to draw her OC also named Emily. This is not my best pic of her as I'm still learning how to draw humans.

I'm also planning to redraw her as well. I'm hoping to follow Lily Pily's other social sites but I don't think she has any besides Deviantart. I still want to keep following her for her art.

I finally got around to post my first DA ID but I kinda traced the figure from the books so you can see how different it is(not proud of it hence why I later took it down).

My god, that pic looks awful! Tracing doesn't help either so it certainly does not make my pic better. The dress is so much cringe as it was based on my old Halloween fairy costume but the colors are just, ugh!!! The wings aren't very good and the pastel colors doesn't mix very well with the dress. This is why I took the pic down a year and a half later. This is what my fursona looked like back then before seeing the current version you see today. There's a reason why I don't like tracing nor using bases(like what I did on my ponysona for Neocities) because it just limits me from doing things. I want to be in control of things.

During 2007 and 2008, I didn't really gain any watchers except two who I know in real life. I also didn't get faves nor comments either until 2009. It was because of two things; one is that I didn't socialize with others nor joined clubs(before it turned into groups) hence why I lack of gaining watchers. Second is that my art was mostly non fan art and I just focused on creating my OC's but sadly, no one was interested in them. :( It wasn't until in 2009 is that I bought myself a digital camera from Walmart and started taking photos. Once I posted them on Deviantart, that's when I gained more watchers, comments, and faves. I still owned this camera to this very day.

Yeah, I used Adobe Illustrator to draw my camera. Loved that camera!

I took a bunch of photos mostly from theme parks and city downtown as well as flowers and birds. So photography is one of the reasons why my page is getting attention but another thing I've done is creating crystal orbs for fun.

Those gained a lot of popularity. Then I started to create my Fakemon, Faerie Mews based on the elements.

The first one was a Fire Faerie Mew(the other is the Chinese Fire Faerie Mew) then I created four more. I ended up making a final pic of four main elements. I really loved making them and I am planning to remake them in the future. I do want to finish the Chinese Elemental Faerie Mews as I only did one but didn't get around to finish.

I would love to post more of my old DA artwork here but I'll have to save it for other time as I can only limit on how many I can put in this post. I just wanted to post the story of my DA anniversary to share it with everyone.

If your asking me about my DA account, don't bother because I closed it back in January due to the site being overrun by AI and the admins stopped caring about the artists. I already removed my pics a year before they allowed AI(thank god I did that) to make it easier for me to clean up and deactivating the account. I've been on DA for fourteen years(fifteen if I choose to stay) before calling it quits.

So now I'm moving on here, Inkblot, Square, and Neocities to post my art. Hopefully you guys enjoyed my long ass story.

Timing || Dancer!Kuroo x Dancer!Fem!Reader || One Shot

Summary: Timing with Kuroo was never right. You met him through a studio collaboration and immediately the chemistry between the two of you was undeniable. The catch? He was finding his way in life and you were in a relationship. Now that time’s past and you’re each at different stages in life, will time be on your side? 

Pairing: Kuroo Tetsurou x Fem!Reader 

Word Count: ~6k

Warnings: Light swearing, Final stages of moving on, Emotional cheating (?), visual aids for choreography purposes. 

Author’s Note: I’ve really been on a writing spree lately and have been dying to write a Dancer!Kuroo fanfic. I came across an old one-shot I abandoned in my drafts and decided to revamp it and have Kuroo as the main character ^^~ I hope you guys like it! Also currently working on a Kageyama x Reader Series if you’re interested! Let me know what you guys thought of this one shot though, love you guys! xoxo, Ren 

You sighed as you stared blankly at the laptop screen in front of you. You were seated against the headboard of your bed with your legs crossed, just like how you’d sit in grade school. Running a hand through your hair, your eyes were glued on the picture that was enlarged on your Instagram feed. ‘I didn’t think he’d move on that quickly…’

In the picture was your ex-boyfriend standing in front of the entrance of the local amusement park with the new girl he was talking to. A slight heavy feeling came into your chest as you exited the browser and pushed the laptop to the side. You pushed yourself off of the bed and rearranged the sweatshirt you were wearing. Making your way towards your desk, your eyes landed on the cork board that was filled with different Polaroids. A nostalgic smile came upon your face as you sat down in front of your desk and took the photo pinned at the top-right corner into your hands. Your ex had his arm tightly around your waist as you both cheekily smiled at the camera. His head was comfortably resting on yours while you were pinching his cheek. You leaned against your chair as you played with the photo, memories flooding your mind. It was when you reached your one year anniversary with your ex. It happened during your freshman year of university and he decided to take you to the amusement park to relive your childhood memories. Now with your third year of university coming to an end, things were different. You bit your lip as your hand hovered over the trash can that was tucked underneath your desk. The Polaroid hung at the edge of your fingertips as you debated to finally put a closing to your most serious relationship to date. You and your ex had broken up around a year ago on mutual agreements. Going to different colleges and having such hectic schedules took a toll on the both of you. It eventually came down to the point where you had naturally drifted away from each other because of how different your circles and interests were. With a sigh, you turned over the photo to look at the message that was written on a small stationery note taped to its back. 

To the most special girl in the world:

Life always seems more exciting when you’re around. 

We managed to get through a year, so let’s aim for forever, yeah? 

You’re the only person that understands me and gets how I think. 

I love you, princess. - Terushima Yuji 

Terushima was your first serious relationship having been best friends since high school and transitioned into being a couple as you matured into young adults. You were each other’s serious firsts and now that time’s passed, you realized that it was a part of life. One person could be your everything at one point and at some point, one outgrows the other if effort doesn’t come from both sides. In the end, you guys decided to still stay as friends. When the breakup was still fresh, you couldn’t believe it right after it happened. It didn’t actually hit you, but as time passed, the pain started to settle in and eventually you became numb to it. You were so used to having him by your side for so long and it hurt to see him move forward with life as you were just barely getting over him. You thought you’ve been doing fine after so long, but after seeing him post about a new girl, reality finally hit that things were never going to be the same again. An unexplained feeling came over you as you let that kind of realization settle over you. You were thankful that you could still be friends with Terushima, but now there were certain boundaries that you had to respect because he was no longer yours. He had a new girl in his life that he clearly loved and you were still single and finally ready to take the world on again. It was a good run while it lasted and you didn’t regret any moment of it. You felt as if you had come full circle with everything involving your ex. Rather than throwing the Polaroid away, you tucked the photo into the small memory box you kept in your desk. It would serve as a reminder just how much you’ve grown since that moment, plus first loves always had a special place in a person’s heart even after growing out of it. 

“(Y/N)? There’s someone here to see you.” your roommate, Megumi, said as she poked her head into your room just as you closed the drawer of your desk shut.

You cocked your head to the side in curiosity as you got up and followed your best friend into the living room of your shared apartment. 

“But I wasn’t expecting any visitors…” you murmured. 

Megumi shrugged and replied, “I didn’t expect this person to come all the way either.” 

As Megumi stepped out of your way and plopped herself onto the couch, you gasped and quickly walked over to hug the person who was standing by the TV, looking at your photos along the wall.

“Tetsurou!” you happily exclaimed and laughed as he spun you around. 

“Hey, chibi-chan.” he greeted as he set you down and ruffled your hair. 

“I thought you were going to teach a workshop in a studio in Seoul? What are you doing here in Tokyo? The last thing you told me was that you were in Paris.” 

Kuroo smirked and said, “Well I had to cancel Seoul when Oikawa called me to headline one of the workshops for his studio. I couldn’t say no to an old friend, now could I? So....” 

You arched an eyebrow and crossed your arms as he leaned down to meet your gaze. “I need someone to help me teach the piece I was planning on doing today. So, why not the person who co-choreographed it? 

You couldn’t stop yourself from excitedly jumping and grabbing his arm. “You still remember that piece when our studios trained together?” 

The latter nodded and straightened up, a warm smile spreading across his face. “Of course, chibi-chan. It’s one of my favorite pieces that I’ve ever choreographed to.” 

With an amused smile, you nudged him in the stomach. “You’re such a dork.” 

Kuroo chuckled and turned you around by your shoulders, pushing you towards your room. “Well what are you waiting for, slow poke? Go and get ready! We have about two hours to get it down before Oikawa starts to sass us!” 

A warm feeling spread throughout your chest as you rushed into your room to put on something more suitable to dance in. You rummaged through your closet and slipped on an over-sized graphic T-shirt with a pair of black biker shorts.. Quickly, you threw your necessities into your duffel bag and exited your room. Kuroo and Megumi were catching up as you made a pit stop in the kitchen to grab water for you two. 

“Alrighty, I’m set!” you smiled and tossed Kuroo his water as you made your way towards the shoe rack by the door. 

As you guys slipped on your shoes, Kuroo pointed towards the shoes you were wearing and laughed. 

“You were always the sneakerhead, huh?” 

You playfully winked as you straightened up from retying the laces of your latest pair that you copped as a special little treat for yourself. “I got them recently after getting paid from my last dance gig. I got a hefty sum from it, so I decided that it was finally time to drop a little more than usual.” 

Kuroo smiled to himself despite rolling his eyes at your statement. He opened the door for you and the two of you exited your apartment. Once you reached the lobby, you greeted the doorman as you made your way towards the spot where Kuroo parked. You smiled widely when Kuroo stopped by a slick, black sports motorcycle. Letting out a low whistle, you admired the vehicle as you slowly circled around it. 

“And you finally got a motorcycle license. This is a total beauty, Kuroo. I’ve been waiting to get on this type of baby for a while.” 

Kuroo laughed and tossed you the extra helmet he had in his storage compartment. “Just like you said, we gotta spoil ourselves once in a while right? Now c’mon get on.” 

You waited for Kuroo to get settled first before getting on the back seat of his bike. An excited squeal escaped your lips as he revved up the engine. He slid down his visor before turning around to slip yours down as well. You bit your lip as he smirked at you before turning his attention towards the oncoming traffic. 

“Better hold on tight.” 

Shaking your head at him, you comfortable wrapped your arms around his waist as he began to take you guys to the studio. You smiled widely as you watched the city speed past you, a lively feeling spreading throughout your body. Ever since the breakup happened, you managed to keep yourself busy in order to take your mind off things. Though you were constantly picking up dance gigs and doing other side jobs or even simply cleaning up the apartment, there was always this empty feeling inside of you. But now that Kuroo was back and with you, it felt as if he helped you break the chains you locked yourself up with. Looking up at the bright sky, you breathed in the fresh air and enjoyed how the wind surrounded you. You felt alive. You felt free and genuinely happy for once. The world now looked brighter and you were happy that Kuroo was able to bring that out of you. Tightening your grip around his waist, you mentally thanked the heavens for bringing him back to you. 

----

As you  monitored the class while Kuroo taught the combination of the piece, you smiled to yourself as you listened to his dorky references. He managed to squeeze in a couple of science puns and you bemusedly shook your head as the whole class laughed, but also understood what he was trying to get at. You held in your breath as you went towards the front of the class to take over his spot so he could also monitor everyone’s progress with the choreography. He gave you a reassuring squeeze on the shoulder because of the unexpected variable that was added into your guys’ equation. 

Once people started filing in for your class. Terushima and his new girl were part of the last few that trickled into the full class.  He managed to catch you as you walked back in after taking a look at the roster and you were shocked to see them there. While Kuroo was trying to pick music for everyone to stretch to, Terushima walked up to you and introduced you to her. Apparently, she was also a dancer and wanted to take Kuroo’s class. When you met eyes with him, you couldn’t help but smile back at him once he gave you a small smile. The pain that you used to feel wasn’t there anymore and you realized that you really did move on just like he did. Turning your attention back towards the mirror, you met Kuroo’s gaze through your reflection and he gave you a nod of encouragement. You let out a deep breath before gathering everyone’s attention to continue where he left off to finish the piece. 

Going over the last eight count, Kuroo ended up joining her in the front to teach together and they finished the workshop. You grooved to the music and let it take control of you as Kuroo danced beside you. When you heard the students having a fun time, you couldn’t help but laugh and smile. Everyone was grooving along with each other because it gave off that happy-go-lucky vibe that anyone could freestyle to. You didn’t even notice Terushima and his new girl as you surround yourself with other dancers. Kuroo would also try to divert your attention away from Terushima if he noticed your eyes wandering. It was hard to kill off old habits and you were glad that Kuroo was there to help you. 

It was finally time for you and Kuroo to watch the students do it in groups without your guidance after splitting it in half. You leaned against the mirror as Kuroo did the routine full out while they were marking** it. The way that he moved was something that you admired a lot about him. He was always able to sit in the pocket and fully complete his moves despite his tall stature. You smiled to yourself as you watched the students’ expressions as he walked away and stood next to you. Shouting some encouraging words to them, you smiled at the students before restarting the music for them. As the entire class watched the first group, you leaned against the speaker and Kuroo nudged your arm. You gave him a questioning look and he nodded towards the back corner of the room. **(Marking a piece means going over the choreography with half the energy to really go over whatever a dancer is struggling with. It also helps figure out the right timing for certain moves.)

“You hanging in there?” he asked as you both watched Terushima hand the girl a towel to wipe off the sweat. 

You shrugged, not really knowing how to answer. “I mean I didn’t really feel sad when I saw them in the beginning. But it’s just weird to see him in person, y’know?” 

Kuroo chuckled and ruffled your hair as he noticed your eyebrows scrunch up and a small pout on your lips, continuing to listen to your small rant. “I tried not to really pay attention, but it’s hard when they’re showing excessive public displays of affection. God, were we that bad when we were together? And he just so happens to be dating another dancer, make it make sense.” 

“There, there. Do you think he’s just trying to fill up that empty void since the both of you guys broke up?” 

You grunted as you pushed yourself off of the speaker and said, “I don’t know... Honestly as long as he’s happy, then I guess I’ll be fine.” 

“That’s my girl.” he praised and slung his arm over your shoulders.

You huffed and flicked his temple. He groaned and said, “Damn, I forgot how strong you could be sometimes.” 

You two laughed as everyone clapped for the first group. As the second group filled the floor, you made your way to the front to do it while they marked it. You mentally groaned seeing that said ex and new girl were in your group. Your expression deadpanned and you looked in the mirror to see Kuroo hunched over his phone, trying to contain his laughter. Sighing, you shook away any last negative thought and looked at Kuroo once more. Although still laughing at your luck, his attention was on you and gave you a reassuring smile. ‘You got this, chibi-chan. Ignore them and dance for yourself,’ he mouthed as the music started. Listening to his advice, you ignored everyone around you once more and just danced to your heart’s extent.

There was a reason why the both of you decided to make choreography to this song when you guys were originally assigned as partners. When you sat down together to come up with an idea, you guys were equally going through a rough time. Kuroo was kicked out of his house for choosing dance over his family’s business while you and Terushima were constantly fighting. On your first night of practice, you ended up having a heart to heart with Kuroo. The both of you unintentionally opened up to each other because dance is being vulnerable with yourself physically and emotionally. After spilling out all of your emotions, you guys decided that you simply wanted to be happy. Dance was an escape for you and Kuroo. Kuroo shared the same passion and love you had for dance because you both related over how dancing helps release the day to day stress that piled up. It was just better to live in that moment of dancing all of your emotions out. When it was time to do it for the showcase, the both of you not only had the fastest combination, but your piece’s intentions really showed through the moves and expressions that were displayed on that stage. It was in that moment where you and Kuroo wanted to show the world what dance meant to each other. The song, the moves, and the meaning behind it shared their untold stories. You smiled widely as you watched yourself in the mirror and did the footwork with ease. Adding your own style and facials into it, you felt yourself letting go of everything that was hanging over your head for so long. After being reminded of the origins of the piece you taught with Kuroo, you didn’t care if you were going all in on it while the other dancers were marking it. Dancing with Kuroo by your side was the most you’ve felt alive in the longest time and you weren’t going to let this small moment of yours go to waste. 

You smiled breathlessly as you ran back to Kuroo once the piece was over and it was time to watch the dancers once more. He handed you your towel and bottled water before patting you on the shoulder. 

“You were amazing, cutie. I haven’t seen you dance like that in forever. You spark’s come back.” 

Gulping down the water, you shrugged before giving him a bright smile. You tossed your bottle on the top of your bag and tiredly leaned against him. “I guess I just needed something to help let myself go.” 

He adjusted his position so you could comfortably lean your head against his shoulder and you guys continued to watch the class. 

“Let yourself go or to finally get some closure?” Kuroo asked. 

“Both I guess…” You murmured as you found yourself smiling at Terushima and his girl dance to your and Kuroo’s choreography. 

“I’m assuming tonight was something that really helped you then, huh?” 

You nodded as everyone clapped for each other. Kuroo warmly gazed down at you and squeezed your cheek. “Then I’m happy that you’re happy.” 

He walked off to let everyone get some water and you sighed, feeling grateful to have Kuroo in your life. Ever since he walked into your life, Kuroo always knew what to say when you came to him for advice. He was always willing to listen and be upfront with you if you were being stupid. Without knowing, Kuroo slowly became your best friend because of your shared love of dance and constant meetings for this piece. When he walked back to your shared corner, you couldn’t stop yourself before pulling him into a hug. 

“I know I say this a lot, but...just...thanks for everything.” you murmured. 

He set his head on top of yours and tightly hugged you back. “I’m always here for you, beautiful.” 

You laughed and slightly pulled back to lightly smack his chest. “Oh stop it with these pet names, you dork.” 

He let go of you as you told everyone to move to the front of the room. His focus changed towards his phone as he set up the music, a small smirk on his face. “I don’t know what you’re talking about, chibi-chan. You’re cute and beautiful. I’m simply stating the truth.” 

Kuroo only ever jokingly teased you, but seeing how he was being sincere with that compliment, you felt the heat creep up into your cheeks. Coughing to hide your blush, you rolled your eyes at him. “Ha, you’re so funny. Now c’mon, they’re expecting us to do it for them.” 

He chuckled and let the music play as he grabbed your hand. You shook your head at him as you bit your lip, letting him lead you to the middle of the studio. As the both of you danced, the world around you two disappeared. It was just you and Kuroo, looking at the mirror and dancing the routine. You could feel Kuroo’s energy right next to you as you danced and interacted with each other. It brought back memories of your late night to early morning practices. Getting to dance with him once more brought back all of the jokes and heart to hearts that were exchanged during your shared bubble tea and food runs before or after rehearsals. All in all, you were starting to get the old butterflies you chose to ignore when you first met Kuroo. 

When your attention came back to the present, you and Kuroo had finally finished the routine. Falling to the floor, everyone threw their shoes** at the both of you and you guys couldn’t help but laugh. All you felt was bliss as you laid on your back and Kuroo sat up, setting his elbows on top of his knees while you caught your breath. You looked up and smiled at Kuroo. It kind of surprised you how quick these old feelings quickly resurfaced and decided to just go with the flow. Throughout the night, Kuroo had been calling you different types of pet names and showed excessive skinship. You weren’t mad at it, but you were still unsure if he was implying something or being his regular affectionate self. **(Shoes being thrown at the choreographer or dancer doing the choreography is a sign of respect and admiration for killing the piece)

Everyone in the room began to chant for the both of you to do an encore since it was the end of the class. You groaned and Kuroo stood up, offering his hand for you to take. He easily hoisted you up and said, “You know we can’t keep the crowd waiting, right?” 

You rubbed your forehead, trying to think up another piece you could do together, but over the past two years you collaborated with Kuroo multiple times. There was so much choreography that you guys shared and you puffed out your cheeks since the class wouldn’t let up with their chanting. 

“What else is there?” 

Kuroo gave you a mischievous smile before heading towards the stereo. He turned towards you, walking backwards and said, “Put your sweater on or else you’ll get cold.” 

It didn’t register in your mind right away to what he implied as everyone quieted down. Everyone watched in anticipation as Kuroo scrolled through his phone for the specific song. Nevertheless, you followed his instructions and put on the sweater that you brought to wear after class ended. As the soft melody filled the air, you gasped and snapped your head towards Kuroo who was putting his sweater on as well. He smiled at you and walked up to you as you guys got into place. He nodded at the student he asked to press play for you guys to mark it and the both of you began to effortlessly move together. 

This piece was made when the strong emotions you felt for each other was at its peak and your studio directors requested that you and Kuroo collaborated once more to represent your studios at a prefecture competition. The theme of it was ironically love and in the short time period given to you and Kuroo, the choreographed piece was what you two used to speak about your unspoken feelings for each other. You smiled to yourself as you continued to mark the piece since it was a bit on the lengthier side. It was honestly one of your favorite pieces of choreography ever and your mind flashed back to how it came to be. 

“(Y/N), what do you think we should do this time?” Kuroo asked as you guys sat on the floor of one of the many rooms your studio provided. 

You shrugged and sighed as you laid on your back with your legs stretched out. “I don’t know, Tetsu...it’s up to you.” 

Kuroo looked at you as you curled onto your side and focused on your phone. Pursing his lips, he turned his attention towards you and set his phone to the side. 

“What’s wrong, (Y/N)?” 

You felt him tap your shoulder and looked behind you to meet his gaze. He gave you a look and you caved in to tell him what was bothering you. Sitting up, you curled your legs into your chest and set your chin on top of your knees. 

“I didn’t want to bother you...but I feel like Yuji and I will never bounce back after this break that he wanted… As much as I try to still check up on him, he’s grown so distant that I don’t recognize his new behavior sometimes...Do you think there’s another girl? I just don’t know what to do anymore, Tetsu… I just- I just don’t want to be in the dark anymore. Aren’t we supposed to get through everything together? I don’t get it, is it me? Who am I kidding? There is another girl, I saw him flirting with her after his class in their classroom.” 

“Don’t you say that ever again, (Y/N).” 

You blinked as he quickly cupped your face to stare into your empty eyes. He could see the unshed tears in your eyes and it pained him to see you so broken. Kuroo hated seeing you constantly being hurt by Terushima. He didn’t expect to fall in love with you in a span of three months of dancing together, but he did. The way you were able to welcome him so warmly and easily understood what he struggled with, Kuroo found himself falling hard. Whenever he danced with you and interacted with you, there was this unspoken connection that he’s never felt with anyone before. After the first showcase ended, you guys stayed in touch and had a weekly tradition of hanging out at each other’s apartments. When he was overseas, he missed the hell out of you and when you would cry over the petty little arguments with Terushima, Kuroo wished he had a plane ticket to go back to you. 

“You are more than enough, chibi-chan.” he reassured you and pushed some stray hairs out of your face. “Terushima lost sight of the beauty he has by his side and it’s his loss if it ever came down to it. Hell, I’ll immediately take you from him if you’d let me. That girl doesn’t compare to you, at all.”

You smiled weakly knowing the weight that was carried in his words. Leaning into his touch, you sighed and he caressed your cheek. “You know I would do anything to take the pain away from you, (Y/N).” 

You tightened the grip that you had around his wrist and he leaned his forehead against yours. The feelings that grew for Kuroo was something you stopped denying a while ago, but still a part of you couldn’t let go of Terushima because of how long you guys knew each other and that you were still in a relationship with him. It confused you because when you were with Terushima, you knew you wanted to be with him. But at the same time, it felt the same whenever you were with Kuroo. A part of you wished that you had met Kuroo first because he gave you the solace and warmth you’ve been seeking for. Your rationality spoke to you as you slowly pulled away, a sad smile on your lips. 

“I know you would, Tetsu...But due to the circumstances right now...you know I can’t. We can’t.” 

Kuroo felt you slipping away from him and decided it was time to be selfish for a bit. He didn’t want to let you go and wrapped his arms around, burying his face into your neck. 

“Please...let’s just be selfish this one time. If he gets to flirt with all the girls he wants on this so called ‘break’ between you two, can’t I have chance? Just until this showcase is over. I just want to show you how much you mean to me and how you are worth the entire world.” 

He looked up at you and without thinking, you cupped his cheek and Kuroo sighed into your warm touch. 

“Use me if you’d like, I don’t care. You know how I feel about you and I just hate seeing you hurt so much.” 

“Tetsu…” you murmured and he noticed the hesitation. 

He gave you a small smile before pecking the inside of your wrist. You watched as he stood up and walked over to the speaker then plugged in his phone. The faint sound of the piano filled the air as he made his way back to you and gently helped you to your feet. Kuroo smiled down at you and started to freestyle around you. It was the best way you guys could be vulnerable with each other when the words couldn’t come out. You hugged your arms to your chest as you watched him. His touch ghosted over your body and you bit your lip as he stood behind you. 

“For now, just forget about everything and dance with me.” 

In that small room, you gave in to the feelings that you tried so hard to suppress. Closing your eyes, you let your body naturally move against his as you danced along to the music. The song spoke out to you because the singers were doing the talking for you both. As you danced with Kuroo, your eyes never left each other the entire time. Interchanging moves and interacting through your eyes and body movements made you feel complete. Kuroo had managed to easily break down your walls and you smiled at him as he grabbed your hand, guiding you across the floor as you did a series of chaine turns*. As the song ended, you landed into his embrace and he lovingly smiled at you. You smiled back at him and he set his head on top of yours. 

“I think we just found the song that we’re going to use for the showcase, right chibi-chan?” he said as he tried to catch his breath. 

You nodded and in that moment, the both of you came into the silent agreement that you’d be selfish for the next two weeks. While preparing for the showcase, you met up with Kuroo every day to practice and improve your choreography to be the best that it could be. That was when Kuroo’s affectionate side really came into play. He shamelessly flirted with you and the skinship he’d do with you was nonstop. Kuroo took advantage of the small chance you gave him and never wasted a moment. He respected the boundaries you put up and when allowed, Kuroo would only kiss you on the cheek or forehead.

When the showcase ended, the two of you stood on the roof of your apartment. You admired the view and he wrapped his arms around your waist. The air around you guys was heavy as you silently leaned against his embrace. 

“So this is it, huh?” he asked softly as he inhaled the comforting scent of your shampoo, tightening his grip around you. 

You nodded silently and turned around, resting your hands on his chest. A solemn expression could be seen on your face, not wanting to make a move just yet. Kuroo kissed your forehead and you relished in the comforting feeling he gave you. 

“I wish I met you first.” you mumbled as you buried your face into the nape of his neck. 

“I know.” 

“I’m sorry…” 

“I know.” 

“You know that I li-”

“I know.” 

Kuroo cupped your face and gave you a small smile. It didn’t quite reach his face and you bit your lip as you felt your eyes water. 

“I just can’t let go....” your voice trembled.

“I know.” 

“You deserve better.” 

“I’m willing to wait.” he simply said and leaned his forehead against yours. 

“Why?” you whispered as you both closed your eyes, soaking as much of each other as you could. 

“You’re worth every moment.” 

It was quiet for a couple of moments and once you felt like you were ready, you stepped out of his embrace. He ran his hand through his hair and stepped back as well, admiring the beautiful features of your face. 

“I’ll see you whenever, chibi-chan.” he muttered as he felt his heart clench at the fact you wouldn’t be the first thing he saw in the morning. 

“See you...Tetsu…” 

You were brought back to reality as you ended the mark with his hands in your sweater and the class screamed for you guys to do it full out. He met your gaze and asked, “Are you ready, beautiful?” 

As you got back into position to do the choreography, you nodded and the air around the two of you changed. There was no hesitation between you two as you spoke your unspoken feelings towards each other. Overall you felt the lightest you’ve ever been as your gazes never left each other. It was just like you guys danced it the first time, but this time nothing was holding you two back. You danced with your heart and Kuroo could feel the familiar warmth and radiance he missed from you. As you stood in front of each other, dancing out the lyrics of the song with the movements of your hands, you talked to each other through your gazes and the music. 

One love, two mouths One love, one house No shirt, no blouse Just us, you find out Nothing that wouldn’t wanna tell you about, no

When the music picked up, Kuroo led the dance and you can feel how much you missed his presence. His touch burned against you as you finished up the routine. The world disappeared around you two as you felt him grip your hands in the pockets of your sweater. He leaned his forehead against yours and you were both breathlessly smiling at each other. 

“Woah…” he said as he slowly stood up straight. 

You squeezed his hands before they left your pockets and bit your lip. “Woah, indeed.” 

You laughed as he dorkily bowed at the class and motioned their attention towards you. As they cheered for you, you shook your head with the brightest smile never leaving your face. He took your hand into his once he walked up to you and you guys bowed to the class, saying your thanks. It was time for the students to do the choreography you taught one last time and the two of you walked off to watch them. Once in your corner once more, you didn’t hesitate to lean yourself against him and he slung his arm over your shoulders. His head rested on your shoulder as you watched the class through the mirror. 

“So...what was that?” you murmured.

“I don’t know, chibi-chan. You tell me.” he responded. 

You turned your head to look at him, your cheeks blushing. “Oh you most definitely know, Tetsu.” 

“Hm? I don’t know what you’re talking about.” he said as he nuzzled your cheek with his nose. 

“I’m ready.” you softly said.

“I know.” 

“That was fun.” 

“I know.” 

“I missed you.” 

“I know.” 

“You’ve been such a tease this whole day.” 

“I know.” 

“You already knew, huh?” 

“Maybe~” he replied in a sing-song tone. 

You hummed in thought and turned your attention towards the class once more. 

“Hey, (Y/N)?” 

Your eyes widened as you felt him lighty kiss your lips before quickly pulling away. It was short and sweet, but had such a big impact on you. Butterflies fluttered in your stomach and your heart raced as he kissed your cheek before walking away to join the freestyle circle that happened at the end of the routine. You laughed in disbelief as you felt your cheeks burn. He walked backwards as he reached the edge of the group and winked at you, holding out his hand for you to join his side. 

You took a deep breath and smiled to yourself. It was time for you to move on from your past and dancing with Kuroo helped you realize that. You were finally happy with where you were at and slipped your hand into his as the class made way for you two to be the center of attention once more. 

The timing was finally right for you and Kuroo to fully love each other.

[timetravelassasin]

Happy Birthday!

Summary: It is Amaru’s Birthday and Kuroo has a whole day planned out for her.

A/N: Hey guys It’s my sister’s birthday @thevampiresblog ! I decided to write this for her. I am using her OC for this one. I hope you guys enjoy it!

\(>w<)/ \(>w<)/ \(>w<)/ \(>w<)/ \(>w<)/ \(>w<)/

The blinding light of the sun peaking thru the curtains woke you up. You turned to your side only to feel an empty space. A groan escaped your lips as you slowly opened your eyes. 

“Amaru, Happy Birthday,” Kuroo said, walking into the room. 

“Tetsu get back in bed and cuddle with me,” you groaned, turning to him. 

"Come on i have an entire day planned for you," he said, handing you a cup of your favorite coffee.

"Only cause I love you," you pouted, taking the cup of coffee.

"I've picked out an outfit for you, so get ready," he smirked, walking out of your shared room.

Once your cup of coffee was empty you checked out the outfit he had picked out for you.

He had picked out a white short sleeved button up shirt with a black collar and black ribbon on the sleeves, with some black suspender shorts.

You changed before working on your hair. You left your hair loose and tied a ribbon around the collar of the shirt.

"Amaru are you ready," Kuroo asked, walking into the room.

He walked in right as your slipped on some thigh high black socks. You heard him whistle as you fixed your left sock.

"I just need my bag and we can go," you said, grabbing your kitty ita bag.

You made sure to check all your necessities were in your bag before spraying Kuroo's favorite perfume all over.

"Let's go," he said, taking your hand.

The two of you slipped on your shoes and made sure to lock up the house before taking off. He led you to the train station and made sure to keep you close.

"Where are we going," you asked, looking up at him.

"Just wait and see," he said, tapping your nose.

The train finally came to a stop causing you to stumble. Kuroo quickly wrapped his arm around your waist and held you close. You were rather short so Kuroo tended to lose you easily.

"This is our stop," he said, pulling you out of the train.

He ended up taking you to a music store to buy some music sheets and guitar picks. After the music store Kuroo took you to the mall for a shopping spree. He ended up buying you some cute stockings and a new outfit.

"Where else are we going," you asked, looking up at him.

"Lunch and then dinner at the house," he answered, holding your bags.

He ended up taking you to a cute cat cafe and ended up regretting that decision. He had gone off to order food for the both of you only to come back and find you surrounded with cats.

"I leave you for a few minutes and you are already cheating on me," he chuckled, eyeing the cat in your lap.

"Kuroo look he reminds me of you," you smiled, holding up a black cat.

"He looks nothing like me chibi-chan," he chuckled, taking the seat in front of you.

"Well I think he does and he is just adorable," you smiled, petting the cat.

"Well chibi-chan are you enjoying your day," he asked, resting his elbow on the table and resting his head on his hand.

"I am really enjoying it. Thank you for spending it with me. I know you are busy with work," you smiled.

"I am glad you are enjoying it. I would do anything to spend a day like this with you," he smiled.

After lunch the two of you headed back home. You were sad to leave the cat cafe and Kuroo noticed your damp mood. Kuroo unlocked the front door and led you into the house.

"Chibi-can I have something for you," he said, walking up to you.

He had his hands behind his back and a grin on his face. He leaned down to where he was face to face with you.

"How about a kiss first," he grinned.

You chuckled as you closed your eyes and leaned in to give him a kiss. You ended up kissing something soft a furry. You opened your eyes only to find a pair of emerald green eyes looking back ay you.

"Happy Birthday Chibi-can," he said, holding up a black kitten.

"He's so beautiful," you smiled, holding the kitten.

He chuckled as you held the kitten close and softly spoke to it. He pulled you close and pressed a soft kiss on your forehead before leading you to your music room.

"I have one last gift for you," he said, opening the door.

He held the door open to reveal a black grand piano in the corner of the room. You looked at the piano then at Kuroo. You were speechless as you walked to the piano. The cat had jumped out of your arms and walked around the room.

"Will you play something for me chibi-chan," he asked, watching you slowly touch the piano.

You looked at him before giving him a happy nod and taking a seat on the piano bench. You let out a sigh as you ran your fingers over the keys. Kuroo took a seat next to you and moved your hair behind your ear. You smiled at him before playing a song. The two of you lost track of time as you continued to play the piano for him. It was only the sound of your stomachs grumbling that got the two of you to finally get up and get some food.

"Kuroo, thank you for today I really enjoyed it," you said, pulling him into a hug.

"Anything for the love of my life. Happy Birthday Amaru I love you," he said, leaning down to press a kiss on your lips.

☹ !

{For every ☹ I get I will show a sample of a muse I used to play but don’t anymore. Or send a ☻ for a muse I would like to play, but haven’t yet! || Open and Accepting!}

*cue another theme for this former muse o’ mine!* 

Things were pretty dull lately for the God of Metal. No worthy dark ones to fight around these parts. They all were migratin’ away, heh, runnin’ away more like! It’s a shame the weaker ones scampered off. Coulda used their souls to increase his own power. Every little bit helps him get closer to his ultimate goal of overpowering his master, Lord Ozum. 

Rumor has it there was a nasty Night Warrior coming this way. Yet here was Lord Raptor, laying around in his human façade waiting for this threat to come. “Bloody fools.” The Aussie rocker muttered to himself. “I’d recon if they’re really that strong, all the more reason to stick around and fight! I bet their soul’s both powerful and tasty!”

Sitting up with a light groan he continued speaking to himself out of boredom. “Been an awful long time since I’ve had a real challenge, and I’ve done my part terrorizin’ the locals. Doin’ my best not to take all their souls. Leavin’ just ‘nough behind to get the word out of a powerful darkstalker lurkin’ ‘ere.” 

There’s another town up ahead. Tiny, with lots of innocent people runnin’ round. The souls of the wicked were much more delectable, but if this’d bring the highly anticipated Night Warrior to him sooner…

Conjuring up his electric guitar, the zombie transformed into his true self with the power he sacrificed a hundred of his own devoted fans – and his own mortal being – in order to gain. 

Boney fingers stroked the taught strings to cut the silence of the night with electrifying wails of his instrument that were loud enough to awaken the dead from their nearby graves. Literally. What kind of rock star went around on a killin’ spree without an entourage? He might be dead, but he still had a reputation to uphold! 

“Whaddya say we play another small gig before we hit it big, boys?” Raptor rhetorically asked his zombie troops. 

Before they could shamble along to his side or even moan out in agreement, a blur spun into sight, choppin’ and cuttin’ ‘em all down! RUDE! When this challenger landed gracefully a couple o’ meters away from him, they turned out to be a downright gorgeous undead sheela! Greetin’ him with a pretty lil’ smirk and a cheeky “Ni hou.” 

“Ni how are you doin’ love?” Raptor quipped as he eagerly posed himself for a scrap.

Looks like all the darkstalkers didn’t hightail it outta here after all! FANTASTIC! Maybe if he beats her, she’ll go on a date with ‘im! If not well…he could always add her soul to his own power. They’d be together forever then! 

How ROMANTIC!!! ♥

That’d make a good power ballad too, come to think of it.

A Former Muse: The Looney Goon of DoomLord Raptor from the Darkstalkers franchise

Man is Lord Raptor fun to write! As you can probably tell from how long this sample got. Wish I could have fit in some more puns and jargon jokes into there, but no point in overdoing it. This dude is both goofy and terrifying at the same time! That’s not always an easy thing to balance, but since comedy and horror are my favorites, I feel like I do a good job portraying him whenever I have the pleasure of doing so. 

When I first began to seriously play Darkstalkers, I was scared of him. He’s fast and twitches around like crazy, and if I wasn’t careful he’d beat me in a match. Didn’t even realize he was a zombie. Then one day I decided to play him and what’d ya know?  He’s a perfect fit for my play style! Learning he was a zombie made him even more awesome to me. The rest is history.

As I mentioned in the last ask, I also played him in that Wreck-it Ralph roleplay. Few people were playing true bad guys, and even though he wasn’t up to anything evil, he was exactly the type of person that people could love to hate as an antagonistic presence. 

I think it really shows how much I love this character. Even though I moved back into the DBZ and Tenchi fandom as my main focus and creative drive, still got a place in my heart for the Darkstalkers franchise, and this ghoul in particular. ♥ It also helps that currently Udon’s doing the Streetfighter vs Darkstalkers series which I’ve been keeping up with collecting by some miracle! (All the icons except the chibi one at the end came from that comic series.)

His English voice actor is one of my favorite voice actors, Scott McNeil aka, Ocean dub Piccolo and so many other characters. I just love it when my faves also get the same voice actor as other faves. 

Also the Lord Raptor Rap from the dopey American cartoon always puts a smile on my face. Always.

[Baekhyun Fanfic] Heaven - Chapter 5

Byun Baekhyun x OC

'I cannot remember exactly the first time your soul whispered to mine, but I know you woke it. And it has never slept since.’ - JmStorm

[Chapter 1] [Chapter 2] [Chapter 3] [Chapter 4] Chapter 5 [Chapter 6]

I ran as fast as my human legs could carry me, but it wasn’t fast enough. My vision blurred as the bright lights of a truck blinded me, outlining only a silhouette- his silhouette. Tears blurred my vision, my legs growing weak. It was too late- I was too late. I wouldn’t reach him on time, I couldn’t save him this time. I heard the impact. The sound of the truck hitting him- the shatter of a windscreen and then the small thump as his body hit the road, motionless. My legs gave out as I stumbled and crawled over to him. I could feel the hot tears stream down my face at the familiar circumstance, only from a different perspective. I screamed into the empty darkness.

 I was shaken awake, tears streaming down my cheeks, a scream leaving my lips. “Hana? Hey, it’s okay. It was just a dream.” Baekhyun’s soothing voice reached my ears and I snapped myself back to reality, looking up at his concerned face and dishevelled hair. He had called me Hana. When the boys had asked my name earlier that evening, I had told them that I didn’t have one. This was a new life for me, I could be anyone I chose to be. Baekhyun had said he would help me choose a suitable name.

“Hana? Why Hana?” I asked him as I sat up. He smiled shyly at me and sat on my bed.

“I’ll tell you another day- do you want to talk about your nightmare? It must have been pretty bad, you were screaming and,“ he reached up to wipe away one of my tears with his thumb, he had such a gentle touch, “you’re crying.” I looked at him for a moment as he watched me with gentle eyes. He was truly so sweet and warm and gentle. The love I had felt for him before I died had remained, and with each passing second as I sat and looked at him, it grew exponentially. “Hana?” The name passed his lips again. The name he had chosen for me. I smiled internally at the thought. “Hey, are you okay?” He waved his hand in front of my face and I snapped out of it.

 What was I doing? I had known him for less than 24 hours. “Uh, I’m okay, it was just…” I didn’t know how to explain it to him or even if I should, “It was nothing.” I glanced at the clock on the wall, it was 3 o clock in the morning. “It’s the middle of the night, you should go to bed. I’m sorry for waking you up.” He smiled at me, looking unsure of whether he should go or not. I gave him a reassuring smile until he slowly got up off the bed, walked to the door, whispered a goodnight, turned off the light and closed the door behind him. I couldn’t go back to sleep- the nightmare lurked in the back off my head, seeming all too vivid in my recollection of it.

 It wasn’t long before I heard shuffling and the opening and closing of doors. I knew that the boys would have to wake up early to go to promotions. It had only been an hour and I was grateful that Baekhyun would be able to sleep in since I disturbed him. I probably woke them all up, actually. I felt guilty knowing how tired they probably were since promotional periods are always so physically demanding.

 I briefly contemplated leaving my room to say good morning and offer to make them breakfast before I remembered that I was the only female in the dorm and the chance of at least one of them parading around without a reasonable amount of clothing on was dangerously low- so instead I watched the sunlight filter into the room through the small gap in the curtains until the noise outside had faded and I deemed it safe to leave.

 I soundlessly padded across the wooden floor to the kitchen, where a pile of empty cereal bowls greeted me from the sink. I hope they feed them properly when they get to the music show, I worried especially because Sehun was looking ghostly thin. I scratched around in drawers and cupboards and raided the fridge to find something for breakfast. Eventually I found a viable option of pancake mix with enough other ingredients to make for Baekhyun and I.

 Whilst in the middle of making the last pancake, I saw movement in the corner of my eye and turned to see a very tired looking Baekhyun rubbing his eye with a pout on his lips shuffling towards me. As he got closer his eyes locked onto the plate of perfectly golden pancakes and his eyes lit up. “Pancakes!” he yelled happily and the biggest smile spread across his face. I laughed at his cuteness before I handed him a plate quickly- the look on his face told me that if I didn’t give him some he would literally fight me. As I plated my last pancake we sat down at the dining table that was far too small to ever be able to accommodate 12 boys and all the food they would eat.

 We fell into a comfortable silence as we sat across from each other, concentrating on our respective plate of pancakes. He made small cute noises as he ate and I had to stop myself from giggling at him every time. “So, we’re going shopping today right?” He asked almost excitedly as he swallowed his last bite, making it sound as if it were up to me.

“Yeah, unless you want to share your clothes with me.” I was joking but I saw something barely noticeable change in his eyes and it made my stomach do flips. I got up out of my chair, leaning over to take his plate before walking towards the sink.

“I mean you look good in them,” he said casually before panic spread across his face as he realised what he had unintentionally implied, “I mean they fit you well- like they fit your shape- uh,” I held my hand over my mouth, trying to conceal the smile that had spread across my face and hoped he didn’t noticed the shade of pink that tinted my cheeks.

“I know what you meant Baekhyun, it’s okay,” he visibly relaxed and offered to help me with washing all the dishes.

 Once the dishes were done we relaxed on the couch and he put on a Korean movie that he insisted I had to watch after telling him I hadn’t watched any Korean films whatsoever. About half way through the movie I felt the fatigue from the lack of a proper night’s sleep set in. I tried my best to stay awake but eventually my eyes drifted closed.

 I woke up to the sound of the front door opening. When I opened my eyes and took in my surroundings, I realised my head was rested on Baekhyun’s shoulder. I looked up to his face only to meet his gentle gaze and I quickly withdrew my head from his shoulder. “What time is it?” I asked as 5 exhausted looking boys passed us, minds focused on shower and bed.

“10pm.” Baekhyun answered. I slept for that long?! I looked at him in shock before his manager told us it was time to go to the mall and get me clothes and other stuff.

 The mall was absolutely quiet when we arrived. He left Baekhyun and I alone- with a warning- and we started walking down the long, wide corridors looking left and right into the shop windows that we passed. When a store caught my eye we would go in and wonder the aisles, Baekhyun helping me choose clothes. He had a pretty good taste in fashion. Every time we went to checkout he would pull out a credit card with a cheeky grin on his face. “Did Suho really give you his credit card?” I asked as we left a shop- bags weighing down my arms. He nodded as he put his wallet back into his jacket pocket and took the bags from me.

“You wanna buy something to eat? I’m kinda hungry. Carrying all these bags really takes energy.” He pretended to be tired panting as he walked long. I laughed at him before I pointed out the fact that I didn’t make him carry the bags and that we hadn’t even moved 10 steps. He laughed in response and returned to being a semi-normal human-being.

“Yeah, I’m hungry too. What is Suho buying us to eat?” We both giggled.

“Whatever you want, Hana.” I smiled sheepishly at his use of my new name and looked at the ground before telling him that I wanted ice cream.

 Of course we found the most expensive brand of ice cream we possibly could (Baekhyun’s idea, not mine)- and we laughed together at the thought of Suho seeing the transactions pop up on his phone and probably screaming. By the end of the shopping spree Baekhyun’s arm muscles were struggling to carry all the bags as I carried the two lightest ones. I offered to help but he refused- said he had to prove that he was a strong macho man.

 The number of times he had made me laugh that night was uncountable- he really was a fool sometimes. But a cute fool, I thought to myself as I rested my head on my pillow, feeling fresh and comfortable in my new pyjamas. “They’re soft and cute, just like you,” I recalled what Baekhyun had said when he pointed them out, and I playfully hit him on the arm. He feigned hurt but I liked them too so I bought them (well, Suho bought them). They were baby blue and had cute little chibi characters on them. Baekhyun and I had bonded a lot over those few hours together. I fell asleep peacefully with a smile on my face and a warm feeling in my heart.
