Hello hun. How are you? How's life?

So. I'm a thick voleyball player. You know thick thighs, big boobs, ass and a little bit of tummy. How would react Law to your game. Like when you spike how your boobs jiggle as you fall back in the ground. When you recieve the ball he looks at you thighs and ass. And when other gyus cheer and flirt with you he gets jealous. And the he (dis)respectfully fucks you 😁. Nipple play(especially)(I have stretch marks on my boobs and thighs). Thigh fucking. Everything

Hiiii darling! First I wanna say that I know close to nothing about volleyball hahaha. The little knowledge I have comes from watching Haikyuu! so I hope I don't get the terms wrong. If I do, please forgive me 🙈. Buuut I think you will be able to enjoy it despite the mistakes as the nsfw part compensates for them. [Extra smut for you ♥] Enjoy & thank u for your request, love u ❤ ~

The sound of the whistle marks the start of the match. Your team and you are super hyped up, not only because you want to win the match to get a pass to the next tournament, but also because you are all using brand new uniforms. You have chosen to wear really tight black shorts that cover only your ass and perfectly squeezes your thighs. Your shirt is also black with red stripes on each side, so your waist gets even more defined. Your boobs get trapped inside the black cloth marking its silhouette perfectly. All in all, best uniform so far, comfort for playing and amazing view for Law.

Law, your boyfriend, is sitting on the steps of the court. He stands out from any other person, caramel skin, grey eyes, black hair, longest legs. Even straight men drool over his image… but, tonight once your team has entered the playground all eyes are on you. “That girl is thick…”, “Boy look at those thighs…”.

Law’s ears are on fire, he is trying to think about anything else besides murdering those men. But he remains calm because he is also lost in your figure. His head can only imagine how much he is gonna fuck you once you are at home, no matter how sore or tired you feel after the match.

The teams fight for the glory, points counting sometimes yours, sometimes from your rivals. The setter passes you the ball, you jump, you fly and spike perfectly. And of course, gravity does its job, boobs jiggling once you land on the ground. Your breasts beg to be freed from the mixed polyester and elastane of your shirt.

And Law, at this point has covered his crotch with everything he can, as his arousal begins to tent his pants. He is sweating as much as you do, and he is not even playing. He tries to focus on the match, but he, of course, can’t. Whenever you run, the way your legs move against the mini short, how sometimes your ass gets even pressed into that cloth.

“Come on, (Name)!” your team shouts. You are receiving the ball; it comes directly to you, and you are there to save it from hitting the ground. You crunch enough letting the ball hit your wrists, pulling it up. The fabric of those shorts stretches so perfectly, as your ass flashes in front of your horny boyfriend -and some of the other attendants -. And of course, those can’t shut the fuck up. And inside Law pure hatred fights with the arousal. A mix of explosive feelings.

Once you stand up, you look at him for an instance, piercing your hot babe with your eyes. A sexy smile over your shoulder, and you are back at the play. Law’s cheeks, red. Law’s dick, hard. Law’s patience for those disgusting comments, zero. “She is my girlfriend, have some respect for any woman, not only her!” he says, with that severe expression the doctor only has. The men, of course, who give a fuck about respecting women, but respects men excuse themself as fast as they know that he is your boyfriend. -Yet, not for so long…

The matches ended up on your side, your team wins, and everyone cheers up all of you. But of course, some men don’t really care about volleyball at all… a so-called “local newspaper reporter” approaches you. The man shoves his phone on your face, coming closer to you. “You are the queen of the court, tell us how you feel!?”, “You are so pretty, you should be in the magazines!”. He keeps telling you all that stuff, allowing you to say nothing but a few words. Law is right behind the guy, you can see his assassin's face, you can feel the tension.

“Law…” you whisper before he snatches the reporter from his collar and pulls him away from you. “Go the fuck away” he says, calm, but with flames into his eyes. The guy widens his eyes and runs faster to the other side of the court -probably to harass another woman in spandex shorts -. “You, come here” Law tells you, with a beckoning finger.

“What is it?” you tell him, but he does not answer. He takes you by your hand and makes you follow him. “Where are we going, babe?”. “Enter” he says and pushes you into the bathroom. “Babe…?” you say, giggling. You know exactly what’s going on, and you are going to enjoy it like hell.

Law pushes you into a stall and closes the door. “I can’t wait” he says and pins you against the bathroom wall. The cold tiles hit your skin, cooling down your body from the match, but stimulating your nipples through such a tight shirt. “Law… right here?” you ask, laughing and biting your lip. “If you prefer the middle of the court, I’m ok with it. I just wanna fuck you” he whines in your ear, while he lowers the zipper of his jeans.

He rubs his hard swollen member against your spandex shorts. “I just want to ruin this fabric with my cum. You are mine. I want the others who dare to look at your ass to see you are mine”. “Mhh, Law, I’m yours either way, babe” you tell him, and try to turn around so you can kiss him. But he doesn’t allow you to do that. “Stay like this” he commands. Law grabs your hands and takes them to the wall, above your head.

“Good girl” he says and sticks his dick in between your inner thighs. “Keep them closed, I want to feel those thick thighs” he moans, and starts moving his hips back and forth, jerking his dick with the skin of your intercrural region. While he does so, his hands travel inside your shirt and reach your breasts. “I see the cold wall has made your nipples hard” he says, smirking and biting the lobe of your ear.

At this point, you feel your core dripping wet. The way Law breathes, so messy and accelerated. The way he pinches your nipples with those inked fingers is making you moan loud, really loud. He pinches, pulls, and twists them, making your legs tremble, you need release, you need him inside you.

Law grunts and comes, sticky warm seed staining your shorts, dripping all over your inner thighs. “Mine” he says, short of breath and turns you around. He kisses you so violently, his tongue invading every inch of your mouth, breathing rapidly into it. Panting, agitated, greedy for more.

“Take this thing off” he says, while helping you to take your team’s shirt. He yanks your brassiere, and your wonderful breasts are ready for him. Big, turgent, stretch marks from the way they get into what they are now, Law’s kairoseki, his kryptonite, his weakness. “Mine!” he says once again and pounces into your chest.

He spits on your nipples; saliva drops over them make you squirm. His long fingers trace circles around your most sensitive part, making your eyes roll back and moan his name. “You like it? huh?” he says. You nod, frenetically, lost into the pleasure. “Let me taste them” he says and now is using his mouth to suck the hell out of your tits.

Soft, and not so soft, bites. Pulling your nipples while he got them trapped with his teeth. Sharp feeling that makes you incredibly aroused. His hands squeeze your boobs together so he can suck them at the same time, sometimes alternating in between the right and left one. And you are about to come, because what he does on your nipples seems to be enough to make you burst into an orgasm. “Law…La..w” you mumble, panting.

“I know, I know… You want me to fuck you, right?” he says, muffled words by the tits on his mouth. “Uhum… fuck me” you beg. “Take this out, then” he says, and slides, brutally, down your little shorts. The reduced space of the bathroom stall does not stop your sex beast lover in any sense. He knows exactly how to fuck you without any problem.

He pushes you against the wall, once more. “Put one leg up over the toilet” he commands, lifting your right leg by your thigh. “Hm, fuck babe… you know how much I love these juicy thighs?” he says, squeezing the tissue of your legs. “These marks, damn, so sexy”.

And before you could say anything, Law is already guiding his cock inside your core. “So wet…” he says while the tip of his dick leads the way inside you. And deep inside he goes, and you moan, grateful for the loud music they are playing after the match over the court.

Law fucks you so rough, so deep, so hard your legs progressively get weaker and weaker. The muscle stress of the match is nothing compared to his merciless hip movements in and out of you. “Getting tired, my little slut?” he asks, laughing. “Y-yes” you answer, voice cracking.

“Let me help you, then” Law says, and suddenly snatches you by your legs, lifting you up. You cross your legs around his hips, and he presses your back against the wall. He fucks you rough, holding your juicy body with his tattooed arms. He bites your lips, while he grunts, and you moan. And you cum, and he does too. Law fills you to the point you feel your insides explode, cum dripping to the ground.

“You are mine, and that uniform gets me so hard…” he says, resting his forehead over yours while he lets you stand. “That’s why you wouldn’t miss any match before we met, right?”. “Heh…” he smirks, sexily.

“Let’s continue celebrating your victory at home, shall we?”. “After you, sir..." ♥ ~

Choosing Between Two Loves Part 2 - Civil War~2 (The Fight)

Summary: You were a Goddess named Elara, who had powers similar to Thor and even stronger, you joined the Avengers back when Loki had tried to take over New York. You were great friends with most of them. Tony Stark was someone you were always in love with even though you knew you could never have him. However that all changes when you get to know a certain super soldier....

You were running after Bucky and Sam in the airport with the new kid Peter Parker above you to aid. You weren’t sure where Tony pulled this kid out from but he seemed like he was going to be that annoying little brother you would always love no matter what. You were on Bucky’s heel when you spotted a rope on the side, you quickly went to grab it and attempted to lasso in Bucky to stop him from running. You were able to get ahold of his right foot, you yanked the rope towards you, pulling Bucky towards your feet. His face was stunned at who was looking down at him, he thought you were the most gorgeous woman he had ever seen in his long life, yet he was trying to understand how someone like you was strong enough to take him down. “Sargent Barnes....now I can see why Steve would protect you” you smirked at him, “I’m sorry but you’re going to have to let him go” you heard Sam warn you, “Let me guess a super soldier and a regular soldier against a Goddess, I know the odds and they’re not in your favor Sam” you teased. What you didn’t expect was to get hit by a stun gun specialized for you, you felt paralyzed for a few minutes while you heard Peter attempt to take them down and failed. You couldn’t erase the memory of Bucky’s beautiful blue eyes from your mind.

You heard Nat say where Steve and Bucky were headed, you heard through Tony that the original doctor had been murdered and the man who had committed the murder had framed it on Bucky. You felt guilty that you had chased after an innocent man even though your gut had told you otherwise. You hitched a ride with Tony, although you had been in love with him for many years, you knew he belonged to Pepper. “SO when are you and Pepper going to get married Tony?” you asked, “Ehhh we are kind of on a break” he said, “What?! Okay what did YOU do now?” you exasperated, he gasped looking at you, almost denying it, “Well whatever it is FIX it..... You know we messed up against Barnes” you said changing the subject, “Yeah, I know, Sam told me what happened” he replied, “we’re here, suit up” he said. There was a blizzard outside so you threw on a coat to cover most of your uniform, you both walked into the chamber looking around for any sign of Barnes or Steve. You walked up to a metal door that was closed down, Tony was going to open it but you held your hand to hold him back, “I got this Stark” you bent down to grab the bottom of the heavy door pushing it up with some extra strength, you looked up to see Steve holding his shield in front of him and Bucky aiming a gun towards you, you had to admit, they looked adorable scared. “Elara?” Steve said shocked to see you. You turned back towards Tony, “Look what I found” you joked. You guys walked towards them, Tony explaining that you had learned the truth. “Steve....I’m so sorry about this” you said genuinely, you then turned to look directly at Bucky, “I’m sorry Sargent Barnes” you added, “Call me Bucky” he said. You looked to Tony waiting for him to apologize, when he didn’t you playfully smacked him on his shoulder, he scoffed and then finally faced the other two, “We messed up.....hey this means its a truce Manchurian candidate” he teased Bucky, “Hahaha Manchurian candidate good one Tony.... come on Bucky I’m unarmed so I’m practically useless” you giggled, “I beg to differ on that Elara” Bucky joked back hinting that he would lay his guard down.

You guys walked further into the building looking at the frozen super soldiers, you walked a bit ahead when you heard Bucky call you, “Yes?”, “Be careful” he advised, “I appreciate it but I can take care of myself” you assured him walking away from the group. You took a closer look at one of the super soldiers when you noticed a wound on their forehead, “They’re.....dead?” you said sadly. The guys walked up quicker to look at each one and confirm they had all been killed in their sleep. You heard a boom to your left and someone else appear through a window. You and Steve walked up to the man on the other side of the bunker. The man spoke about some nonsense on Steve not being perfect and about Sokovia....he was up to something. “You know hiding behind a bunker doesn’t make you brave” you said to him, he turned to look at you, “the righteous Goddess who’s always been fighting a war whether its with the world or in her own mind....I will tear the Avengers apart” he threatened, “Exactly how do you plan on doing that?” you asked, raising your eyebrow. 

You heard something click behind you like a video playing, “I know that road” you heard Tony say....”What’s this?” he asked the man. You walked towards him to face the screen, Bucky was on your right, Tony and Steve on your left. You looked slightly down to watch what was on the screen, in Russian lettering you could see the date, “December 16, 1991″ you said. You felt Bucky shift beside you, you looked at him to see fear in his eyes again, he looked at you ashamed, you didn’t know what was going on but your gut said something very bad was about to happen. You saw Howard Stark in the video, the crash, you looked at Tony, his eyes showed the same realization as yours, “Is it your...” you didn’t bother finishing as Tony nodded his head to confirm, it was his parents crash. You saw a motorcycle pull up next to the Stark’s vehicle, a man got off and walked towards Howard Stark, the face surprised you, it was the face of.... Bucky. You blinked a few more times trying to make sure you weren’t imagining it, you looked at Bucky again who was now almost shaking, he couldn’t even look at you in the eye this time. You could feel Tony looking back at Bucky and the video playing, hearing Tony’s mom say “Howard” over and over, in the video Bucky walked over to Maria’s side, choking her until you couldn’t hear anything, he then walked to look at the camera and shot at it. You stood looking at the blank screen feeling your breath shake, Tony next to you in disbelief, so many emotions running through his mind, stunned at what he saw, his parents killed and the person who had murdered them was right there in the building. Tony shifted towards Bucky but you stopped him with a hand on his chest, “Tony” Steve said, clearly a shake in his voice as well. “Did you know?” Tony asked him, “I didn’t know it was him” Steve replied, “Don’t BULLSHIT me Rogers, did YOU KNOW?”.....”Yes”. Your heart sank, you knew that one word changed everything. Tony took a step back and looked directly at you, “How about YOU, Elara, did YOU know?” he pleaded, “No Tony I didn’t” you replied. You had never seen Tony looked so hurt in his life, anger, betrayal, everything all at once. 

The air was thick between the four of you, you could hear the wind blowing outside. Suddenly you felt Tony grab you by your waist and throwing you away from Bucky, you looked up to see him charging towards Bucky, Steve behind him. You quickly took off your coat and ran towards the men, you knew what Bucky did wasn’t right but you couldn’t let Tony kill the man and you also had to make sure no one killed Tony. He blew a wall between you and Steve to buy time to catch up to Bucky, Steve plowed through it grabbing Tony’s foot and destroyed part of his flight system. You pushed Steve back, “Are you serious Elara!!” Steve yelled at you, “I won’t let you kill him” you said, “I can’t let him kill Buck” he fought with you pushing you back onto your butt. You chased after them seeing when they fell deeper into the bunker. 

You fought against Steve while Bucky and Tony went at it, somehow the four of you switched, Tony and Steve, you and Bucky, “Are you going to kill me Bucky” you yelled at him while he held your neck, “Are YOU going to kill me?” he returned the question, “No but this will hurt” you said landing a strong kick to his thigh causing him to kneel, you were about to run towards Steve when you felt Bucky’s hand grab your foot, throwing you onto the ground, pulling you to him, you gritted in anger, pushing him onto the floor, shoving his face on the concrete. You felt a sharp pain in your ribs, you looked down to see that he had stabbed you! “Oh this is how we’re playing” you said, taking out the knife from your ribs and throwing it on the other side. The pain hit you hard weakening you, allowing Bucky to take advantage, Tony saw Bucky was about to attack you again, he charged towards Bucky, knocking him out. Steve then took it as a chance to hit Tony on his back, throwing him onto the floor, Steve grabbed his shield and began banging it against Tony’s arc reactor. You could feel the tears in your eyes; tears of pain, anger, betrayal, and most of all sadness seeing you all being torn apart exactly like the man had said. You tried your best to gather your strength, pushing yourself up you ran towards Steve, “Stop it! You’re going to kill him!!” he tried to fight you back but you placed your forearm against his neck, “I am NOT going to ask again ROGERS!” you yelled furiously, Steve had never seen you so infuriated, he didn’t want to hurt you, he squeezed your arm to push you back, he walked away towards Bucky, “Don’t do this Rogers, you are giving that man exactly what he wanted!” you yelled at him, he didn’t listen, “Steve, I am.... begging you, don’t do this” you pleaded, tears running down your face, “He’s my friend” he replied looking at you sorrowfully, “So was I” you heard Tony say behind you. You looked at Steve pick up an injured Bucky, to be fair all four of you were injured, he then picked up his shield. “You don’t deserve that shield! My father made it!” Tony yelled furiously, you wiped away your tears and moved to help Tony, “You don’t deserve it!” Tony yelled, your back was facing Steve but you heard the metal shield clank loudly on the floor. This was it you said to yourself, you would never forgive Steve Rogers for this. 

You and Tony had returned to the compound, the place was eerily silent, you could feel the different energy around the place, the Avengers were scattered. You were helping Rhodey try to walk, he had taken a nasty fall at the airport causing him to be mostly paralyzed. Tony had gotten a package, he walked into his office, after a few minutes he called you in, “How are you doing?” he asked you. You had cuts and bruises around your face, a big gash on your lip, your body was healing quicker than Tony’s due to you being a Goddess, but you had a scar left from where Bucky had gotten you on your ribs. Mentally you were drained. “I’m hanging in there Tony” you faintly smiled at him, “You?”, “Ehhh could be worse....Rogers sent the package” he said showing you a phone and a letter, “Ohhhh the famous love letter” you teased, causing Tony to chuckle, “Don’t do that, my entire body hurts by laughing” he said, “And MINE doesn’t?”, “Oh come on you’re a strong....woman” he said, you were both silent for a few moments looking at each other, “I appreciate you having my back” Tony shared, “Any time Tony”, “He wrote you a ‘love’ letter too” he added, you rolled your eyes thinking he was kidding but he then handed you an enveloped with your name on it. You looked at Tony grabbing the letter from his hand, you opened it slightly but stopped yourself, “You know what, I don’t care. I will never accept his apology because no matter what his actions showed otherwise, I will never forget that” you said to him while ripping the letter into two pieces. Tony nodded, “Look Tony, you need to fix this with Pepper, I gotta go” you said, “Europe?” he asked, “Yes, I’ll be waiting for my invitation in the mail” you replied, you walked up to Tony giving him a kiss on his cheek, “If you need me, you know where I’ll be” you said and with that you walked out the door to find a new adventure. You didn’t think you would see Bucky or Steve ever again, or so you thought.

Jotaro - Possessed

This is cross-posted from Wattpad and available on AO3. This was my first fanfiction, the writing has improved ever since.

Enjoy~

It was a normal day for Y/N and the crusaders. You were all aboard a boat for a day or two to join your destination.

You all decided to reunite at a certain hour to discuss your plan and what to do, but in the mean time, everyone was doing their own things.

Kakyoin and Jotaro were sunbathing in their uniforms, Polnareff was chasing some cute girls to pick up, Abdul and Joseph were getting some light drinks, and you, you were just strolling around the boat, having some time for yourself since it gets tiring being around men all the time.

You were walking along a hallway when you suddenly bumped into someone running around the corner, both of you falling on your backs.

"Oh my god I'm so sorry miss! Are you okay?" said the man while scrambling to get over you and check you out for injuries.

"Ugh... I-I'm fine.." you groaned as you opened your eyes, only to find the face of the man merely inches away from yours. You blushed a bit at the closeness "Um... " you muttered quietly at the man.

"You sure ?" He suddenly put his palm over your forehead, leaning a little bit more "Your face is red, aren't you a little bit sick?"

'Who is this guy??' you thought to yourself, confused at the behavior.

"No, no I'm fine, thank you, can you get off of me now please?" you said quickly, almost in a panic.

"Oh! Of course miss, my bad!" He finally got up and away from you very slowly, almost lingering. "Be careful little lady..."

You almost pushed him out of the way as you got up and hurried away from him, ignoring his last statement.

'Jeez, what is wrong with that guy? Some people are weird, man...' You thought to yourself a bit freaked out as you felt the guy's eyes still on you.

Later during the day, all the Crusaders got together in Abdul and Joseph's cabin to talk about future plans, where to go to next, new discoveries made by Hermit Purple and whatnot.

"So there might be one or more stand users in this very boat. Let's all keep our guards up." inquired Joseph to the group.

"Of course, let's search the ship in groups according to our stands abilities." added Kakyoin.

"I suggest Kakyoin and Polnareff since their stands could team up greatly with a good offense/defense ratio. Mr. Joestar and myself together as well." Abdul said.

"Good idea." said Kakyoin "So that means...." he trailed off, looking at you

"That means I'll team up with Jonathan!"

. . . Silence.

Everyone had a confused look on their faces while Joseph eyes widened like saucers.

You then realized what you said and got horrified.

"Wh- JOTARO! I meant Jotaro!!" You frantically said while putting a hand over your mouth.

No reaction from the men. You started to feel very flustered and added awkwardly.

"I-I don't know why I even said that haha.. I-I don't even know a Jonathan..."

The tension was horrible to bear. No one made a sound. That was weird. You weren't usually one to slip up like that.

"Hahaha... I must be tired haha.." you tried to laugh it off, to lighten the mood, but you could not ignore Joseph's hard stare on you.

As you couldn't take it anymore, so you got up from your seat on one of the beds and went on your way towards the door.

"Anyway, I'll go first, join me later Jojo.." and just like that you were gone.

The others tried to shake it off, like it was nothing, but Joseph was uneasy from the ordeal. He felt like something was wrong, and it wasn't just about getting the wrong name. Jotaro felt it too.

The whole day went like this, with everyone searching in vain, and with you slipping up every now and then, saying weird unusual things, and acting oblivious about it seconds later. That perked everyone up, but nobody knew what that was all about.

Until later, in the evening, everyone reunited again in the same cabin as before to report. Nobody could find anything suspicious on the boat. Not even Hierophant Green who scanned the entire ship.

Everyone was a little bit on edge to not find anything... It was too calm, too easy.

"I'm worried..." you started.

"We did everything we could... Or maybe there really is no one against us in here." said Kakyoin calmly.

"But then that would mean the stand user seen by Hermit Purple was not sent by Lord Dio..."

That was the kicker.

Everyone flinched and your eyes widened at your own choice of words. Something was terribly wrong with you today, and they had to figure it out.

In a matter of a second, before you could even react, Jotaro, who was sitting beside you, forcefully grabbed your wrists and pinned you to the bed, immobilizing you instantly.

"W-WAIT!!! THIS IS A MISUNDERSTANDING!!! I NEVER MET DIO IN MY ENTIRE LIFE YOU HAVE TO BELIEVE ME!!" You screamed, panicked, trying to sound as sincere as you could while struggling against his grasp.

Although It was true, with everything going against you and your weird behavior all day, you were hard to believe.

Kakyoin and Polnareff were speechless, Abdul was sweating while preparing to reluctantly summon Magician Red at any second if necessary. Joseph was glaring hard at you, not wanting to believe you could have been a traitor this whole time.

You were shaking like a leaf underneath Jotaro, who's expression was unreadable. You were panting heavily with anxiety. You tried to argue again.

"P-please!! It's true! I don't know what's happening today, I'm as confused as you are, but I swear on my own bloodline, I'm not a servant of Dio! I don't even know what he looks like I-" You cut yourself off.

At this point you could not prove your innocence, so in desperation you tried to look at the ones who were the most likely to believe you.

"Kakyoin... You believe me right..?" you called weakly, your voice cracking. He avoided your glance, not knowing what to think anymore. You turned your head to the left where Joseph was.

"Mr Joesta-" You were suddenly cut off by two strong hands cupping your face and making you look in front of you. It was Star Platinum holding you still.

"Wh-what are you d-"

"Don't move." Jotaro interrupted. He moved his hands so that he had both your wrists on one hand and brushed his other through your hairline only to find a fleshbud stuck in.

The other men were shocked at this discovery. So you were indeed under Dio's command... But how?

Confused and scared you wanted to ask what was going on. You eyed the others, asking silently for answers. You felt the pressure on your cheeks lessen and Jotaro replaced Star's hand with his own.

"Y/N, look at me." The dark haired male ordered.

"Jojo..." You were terrified, but trusted him with whatever he was thinking.

You tried to stay still while Star Platinum worked his surgery on you to remove the evil appendice. You couldn't help but but cringe a little and hold your hitching breath as you could feel everything.

It lasted seconds that felt like hours to you, Jotaro's beautiful ocean eyes conforted you through the operation. He was always so harsh, but his eyes held something precious and warm that eased you. Even the hand that held your face felt like a warm caress.

With a sharp burning pain, Star removed the parasyte while you let out a groan. When Star Platinum finally got rid of it you let out a breath of relief.

And just like that you blacked out.

Jotaro got up from his previous position while saying quietly "She went to sleep...". He was smart and perceptive, he figured you weren't always possessed. No, this was recent, and there is a stand user on board. He figured you must have met them and they were the cause of all of this.

"So what do we do now, we wait until she wakes up and explain?" asked Polnareff still very unsure of what's going on.

"Something doesn't add up. If she was sent by Dio, she would have attacked us straight up, or when we expect it the least. She had many occasions to do so. This is strange, I don't get it." added Kakyoin, trying to find a plausible explanation to all of this.

Joseph agreed "I don't believe she's a traitor either, but we'll have some questions to ask her when she wakes up anyway. I'll stay with her, you guys go do a last check up to see if anything unusual happens."

Everyone nodded and went again on another exploration. Now they know that if that stand user can put people into Dio's submission, they'll have to be extra careful and ready to meet not one, but many obstacles.

Long hours have passed when you woke up, only to find Joseph sitting at the edge of the bed where you passed out, but now covered with a blanket and some bandages around your head.

"Mr. Joestar..." you croaked out, a bit of sadness and guilt in your voice. He looked at you with genuine worry, glad that you woke up.

"Oh Y/N you're awake! How are you feeling? Nothing hurts?"

He was always so nice to you, to the boys and even to strangers. Joseph always felt like a caring father to you, which made you feel even more guilty. You shook your head in response.

"Mr. Joestar... Did I... Betray you..?" you couldn't look into his eyes as you said those last words. His expression turned serious and he gazed in front of him.

"No, you didn't. If anything, you're the victim here. Do you remember anything unusual that happened today?"

You couldn't think of anything for a moment until you remembered that weird encounter from that morning, when you bumped into that tacky man.

Your eyes widened in realization. You gasped and Joseph noticed that. As he was about to ask you what was wrong you sat up and exclaimed.

"That guy! It was him!! He's the one who infected me! That fucking bastard, he's so dead." You angrily threw the covers and got up, ready to find that guy and beat his ass.

Before you could storm out Joseph grabbed your arm, stopping you.

"Wait Y/N, explain, what's going on? What happened?"

And so you explained everything that happened that morning, with the guy bumping into you, acting like a creep. You told him how he got very close and touched your forehead too.

"I see..." Joseph pondered, "So that's when he put the fleshbud on you, you didn't feel anything because you were so distracted by his behavior...It's okay, let's calm down and get the others so we can chase him down. You remember his face, right?"

You nodded, now calmer than you were minutes before, thanks for Joseph and his reassuring demeanor. You two then went to get the others, only to find them grabbing a bunch of random people by the collar and beating the shit out of them, and Kakyoin trying to reason them in vain.

"What the hell is going on here?!" Yelled Joseph as he saw the chaos before him.

"We can't find the culprit so we're just punching everyone until one of them admits." Jotaro said like it was common sense, and Polnareff nodded like the supporting friend he was.

Joseph was so done with his grandson's bullshit, so you just got up to them saying that there was no need to, since you knew who was the guy.

Upon realizing that you were awake and safe, Jotaro just threw the guy he was holding over God knows where and just came to you with Kakyoin following.

"Y/N good to see you back! You scared us, you know?" Said the cherry-haired male with a soft smile. He then leaned in close and whispered.

"Jojo won't admit it, but he was worried sick, never saw him walk so fast to beat someone up." he added with a little snicker.

You blushed a bit at this. Really? Jotaro was worried about you? You tried to look at the male for confirmation, but he was looking the other way, efficiently hiding his face.

He just lead the way with his hands in his pockets, acting like he didn't care when he was secretly happy you were okay. It was kinda cute.

At one point, you were all strolling on of the hallways when you saw something that piqued your attention. A scene that felt like 'déjà vu'.

A few feet away from you, that same guy from before, bumped into a random woman, and was now leaning close to her to touch her forehead.

At this, you sprinted down the hall, taking out your stand to attack him.

"GET THE FUCK AWAY FROM HER YOU PSYCHO!"

The guy tried to jump back to dodge your stand, but is was too late. You violently pinned him to the wall of the hallway. You glanced at the woman who already had a fleshbud on her forehead.

'Shit!'

The woman ran away, but Joseph and Polnareff were quick to react and ran after her.

"Leave it to us!" Yelled the french man, running off.

As you were distracted by the possessed woman, you didn't notice the guy getting away from your stand's grasp, and kicked you hard in the stomach, sending you stumbling backwards and falling into the solid chest of Jotaro who caught you.

You couldn't even say his name since your breath was cut by the impact. He just put his hands on your shoulders as you coughed while muttering a 'yare yare daze'.

The other crusaders joined your side to help you out, since they knew that even if you were strong, you really didn't like fighting or using violence.

"Huh? And who might you be? Ohh aren't you the cute little lady from this morning? Sad to see you didn't want to join us. Lord Dio treats us reeeaal nice~" the man sneered.

"I swear to fucking god-"

"How many people have you infected so far?" Kakyoin cut you off, scared that you might let yourself consumed by unnecessary anger.

"Oh? You don't wanna know how I do it? Don't worry about how many colleagues I have here, they're all probably with your two boy friends, having the time of their life."

"So how do you do it? I doubt it is just a stand. Did Dio lend you that ability so you can recruit new slaves in his stead?" said Abdul while scanning the guy, trying to find any flaws in his posture and manners, any potential weakness.

"Ooooh you got it first try! I like my men smart~" the guy said with a disgusting tone "I might just take you for Lord Dio."

And as he said that, he launched at Abdul and spread out tentacle-like vectors that the Egyptian recognized as the same ones Dio had when he met him.

"Abdul watch out!!" Kakyoin tried to warn him.

It happened so fast he didn't have time to summon Magician Red. You just tackled Abdul out of the way, while the guy fled the scene. Jotaro ran after him at lightspeed without even thinking twice.

"Jojo!!" you screamed as you wanted to go too, but Abdul held you there.

"Let me go Abdul! I can restrain that guy with my stand!"

"Don't act reckless Y/N, trust Jotaro on this, he can manage. You've already done enough for today."

"He's right Y/N, he'll be okay, let's go find Mr. Joestar and Polnareff they might need us more." Added Kakyoin, trying to reason you.

They were right, you thought. You wore a worried expression as Abdul helped you up.

After you reunited with Joseph and Polnareff, Kakyoin, Abdul and you managed to neutralize every enslaved passenger.

You were waiting for Jotaro to come back and remove all the fleshbuds, but the parasytes just dislocated themselves from their hosts and scrumbled away like insects.

The stand user could probably not control them anymore, which meant Jotaro succeeded.

Jojo finally came back while dragging Dio's underling like a potato sack, looking like a bloody pulp.

"Eeeewwww!! Disgusting! What did you do to his face, Jotaro?!" Joseph exclaimed while squirming. This was not a pretty sight, and the old man was squeamish.

"Jeez, you didn't go easy on him" said Kakyoin with a knowing look. "I wonder why..." he subtly glanced at you, then back at Jotaro, suggesting something.

Jotaro just clicked his tongue and blushed a faint color as he threw the guy over at the group.

"Just do whatever you want with him, I'm tired." he turned on his heels and started walking away while the others -more like Polnareff- were taking great pleasure in planning what they could do to him for revenge, as if being almost killed by Star Platinum's fists wasn't enough.

You just followed Jotaro while calling him.

"Jojo...!" He stopped and waited for you to catch up.

"Jojo... You... You knew that I wouldn't betray you? You actually trusted me?"

He didn't say anything, but his sea colored eyes answered for you. Your expression turned soft in gratefulness.

He believed in you, even when you were obviously acting like a traitor, he immediatly searched for Dio's appendice, knowing you would never betray him.. He trusted you. That thought alone filled your heart with love and appreciation.

"You saved me... Again. How can I thank you?" your soft voice and expression made him feel some kind of way. You were just too cute. He couldn't believe what he was about to say.

"Kiss me." He commanded, his voice and expression not faltering. You thought you heard wrong.

"... I didn't catch that, can you repeat?" You asked, genuinely unsure if you actually heard what you heard.

He suddenly approached you, the closer he got, the faster your heart was beating. His huge build towered over you.

"You heard me" he confirmed.

Your face and ears were burning, you couldn't believe this was happening. But this was your chance, he offered his consent, this was no time to ask questions, even if you had a thousand right now.

You shyly raised your arms to grab his collar, and looked around to make sure nobody was here to watch. God this was embarassing. You slowly pulled him down and got on your tiptoes, trying to reach for his perfect lips.

You succeeded as you gave him a tiny peck, short-lived, but full of love. You thought you could pass out from all the blood running to your face. But before you could let go of him, he wrapped his arms around your waist and captured your lips once again, in a longer, more desperate kiss.

You were loosing balance so your wrapped your arms around his neck, which deepened the kiss even more. It was bliss until you had to part for some well deserved oxygen.

"Jotaro..." You breathed in his neck "I didn't know..."

This small gesture made his heart skip a beat. He rarely ever felt so much love, and warmth, to which responded by squeezing you harder against him, like you were a soft pillow.

"I couldn't find the right time." He muttered quietly.

You both just stayed like this. Enjoying each other's warmth. It felt so right. Like two fitting puzzle pieces. You couldn't be more happy at the moment. Nothing could ruin it.

"Eeeewwww get a room you two!!"

... Except this.

You both separated, startled by an obnoxious voice coated with a French accent. You were even more embarassed at the fact that everyone witnessed this.You were hiding your face and Jotaro just glared daggers at Polnareff who was smirking.

"Finally, you got the balls to do it Jojo. Glad I didn't have to force it out of you." commented Kakyoin, his inner fanboy pleased.

The two other men just wore wholesome smiles on their faces. Glad to see something positive in this ordeal.

Jotaro just muttered his signature "Yare yare daze" as he grabbed your hand and got away from these nosy eyes.

Who are you Texting?

Canon is being perfect, so Imma write some AU fics to get me through the week. 

Gendrya Modern!Au Whoop whoop!

“Do you think we should ask Gendry to invite his girlfriend?” asked Hot Pie as sorted through his extensive bad-movie collection. 

Arya felt her heart stop for a moment, but ignored it. “What are you talking about?” 

“That girl he’s always texting,” responded Hot Pie casually. Finally, he looked up and noticed his friend’s unreadable expression. “Don’t tell me you haven’t noticed? The dude is addicted to his phone!”

“Gendry?” questioned Arya. Gendry wasn’t addicted to his phone. Arya spent months  trying to convince him to trade in his Nokia for a smartphone, and even then it was only after his new job required him to. She spent three hours last week teaching him how to download Snapchat before the guy completely gave up and nearly destroyed it. 

Hot Pie laughed. “Arry, you seriously haven’t noticed?”

“How do you know he’s texting a girl though?”

“He always gets smiley and shit, plus yesterday I asked him about it and his face got sooo red!” Hot Pie went back to shuffle through a few discs. “Do you think she could set me up with one of her friends when he finally introduces us?”

“Introduces who?” Gendry walked into his and Hot Pie’s shared apartment with an extra-large pizza in his arms. 

“Your girlf-” Arya kicked Hot Pie with the side of her foot to shut him up. She didn’t know why she did it, but part of her really didn’t want to know about Gendry’s new fling. 

It wasn't shocking- she had always known Gendry was attractive. He had no game whatsoever, but his awkward charm only seemed to make girls flaunt to him more, not that he ever really noticed. The past few bar trips the three friends made, Gendry was especially oblivious to a lot of very pretty girl’s more blatant attempts at flirting - one girl even going as far as to throwing her drink on his shirt for ignoring her. Luckily, Arya’s apartment was close by and he always had a stash of extra clothes there just in case. 

Gendry having what could be a more serious relationship in the works would explain his behavior, and admitting that made Arya feel very hollow. 

“So what are we watching?” Changing the topic, Arya plopped herself onto the couch and motioned for Gendry to give her a slice of pizza. 

***

The next few days, Arya tried to catalog when Gendry was on his phone, which wasn’t very often. Once, when he left to go to the bathroom during one of their Sunday coffee trips , she stole her friend’s phone. She picked it up, but when she had gotten to the lockscreen, she had hesitated - it wouldn’t be hard to guess the password (”BULL”), but she still her brain stopped her from opening the phone. 

If she opened it, she would be invading Gendry’s privacy. Which should have bothered her more, but honestly she was never one for “respecting boundaries” when it came to Gendry, nor was he one to ever be bothered by her nosey-personality. No, what stopped her was the same thing that stopped her the few days before when she kicked Hot Pie. If she opened it, and it were true, what then? 

She must have waited to long because before Arya realized it, Gendry was back  from the bathroom.

“What are you doing with my phone?” he asked her defensively, but still made no motion to take it from her. 

Snapping herself back to reality, Arya quickly recovered. “Why do you have the most generic fucking background?” Which was true- it seemed phone-addict Gendry had never figured out how to change the background.

His blush only proved her suspicions. “W-well, I, uh..Shutup!”

She only laughed and pulled him into the booth next to her- ignoring the lack of space between them. Opening the camera, she held the phone up to get both of them in the shot. 

“What are you doing?” he asked her.

“Chaning your background, shh.” She stuck her tongue out and held up an easy peace sign.  Looking at the phone screen, Gendry only laughed at his friend and pulled her closer, his arm wrapping around her shoulders. 

After she showed him how to open his setting and change his background, his arm still loosely laying across her shoulder, Gendry took the phone and tossed it onto his bag that was still lounging in the booth across the table. 

“Now that that’s done, no more phone,” said Gendry as he looked down at his friend. “You were telling me about fencing practice?”

She smiled as she began retelling the story of how she played Joffery out flat in their practice, enjoying the moment and pushing the idea of girlfriends and texts far from her mind.

***

Arya wanted her sister to feel good, but Arya did not understand why they were torturing her to do it. 

“Arya, sit up nicely,” scolded her mother as Arya slouched in the fancily uncomfortable chairs the up-scale dress shoppe had to offer. In celebration of Sansa’s graduation from Law school, Cat Stark offered to buy both her daughters new dresses to wear at the dinner party they were to have after the ceremony. At first it was sweet, but it had been three hours and Arya was ready to go. 

“How about this one?” asked Sansa as she came out in a light pink dress that fell just past her knees. She looked beautiful in it. Just like the other fifteen dresses the girl had tried on. 

“Oh Sans!” their mother cooed again. 

Arya watched as the two gossiped and obsessed over the dress, scrolling through her Instagram as she did. She snorted at a post that had scrolled through - someone Indian advertisement for Google - and sent it to Gendry. He responded with a “hahaha”, which made Arya roll her eyes at how mentally old her friend was sometimes. The she started wondering what he texted his girlfriend - Died he respond the same or did they have long deep conversations? 

“Who are you texting?” Her mother asked her as Sansa went back to change into the next dress. 

“Gendry,” Arya answered. Her mother made a face, hinting at something. Arya rolled her eyes. “Mom, we’re just friends!”

“I know, I know,” Cat calmed her daughter, obviously not believing her. “Hey, why don’t you invite him to Sansa’s graduation dinner?”

“Why?”

“Arya, he’s more than just your friend. Everyone adores him, and he should know that he is welcome to come!”

“If he comes, though, tell him to leave his phone at home!” yelled Sansa from behind the curtain separating her from the dressing room lobby. 

“What are you talking about?” Arya felt a similar sinking feeling in her chest.

“Him, Jon, and I went out the other night and he spent the whole time glued to his phone!” Sansa laughed as she came out in a navy blue dress that fit her figure very nicely. 

“Well the was rude of him,” Mrs. Stark spoke up.

“Oh no, Mother, it was actually very sweet,” Sansa gushed. “He would be in the middle of a sentence and would just stop to giggle at his phone!”

“Gendry doesn’t giggle,” said Arya. 

“Well the closest thing to what Gendry giggling would be,” countered Sansa. “Who is he texting?”

“How should I know?”

“I mean you are only his best friend.”

“Well I guess we’re not as close as you thought then.” Arya grumbled.

Sansa and her mother exchanged looks before turning back to the annoyed Arya.

“Nonetheless, Rickon misses the boy dearly,” said Mrs. Stark. “Please ask him to come.”

***

After Sansa finally agreed on a dress that “Felt like her”- whatever that meant - the three went to lunch at a pub nearby. Arya had been practically shaking with excitement at the idea that she would have a burger and fries in hand within the hour. Despite the fact Arya was twenty-two, Mrs Stark sent Arya to wash her hands before they ate.

“What, why doesn’t Sansa have to?”

“Because Sansa didn’t play with the stray cat outside,” her mother responded, unresolving. “Go wash your hands.”

Grumbling the entire way, Arya made her way to the bathroom. To get there, she had to pass the bar-area of the pub where a large party of people were congregated. Recognizing the grubby and darkened hands, as well as the uniform Stag logo across their mustard-colored shirts, Arya realized that they were all construction workers for Gendry’s father’s company. Which meant...

Eyeing the crowd, her eyes settled on him. Gendry had insisted his father let him work amongst the blue-colored gentlemen and ladies he had admired for so long before he inherited the entire business. And there he was, nestled around the large burly men and women, all laughing after a long-morning of hard work. His hair was damp from sweat, and he was drinking a beer he had probably been nursing longer than any of his coworkers. 

In the briefest of moments, one that only someone truly staring at him as Arya was would notice, Gendry subtly reached into his back pocket and pulled out his phone. His eyebrows knitted together as he sent it onto the table and continued listening to his friends, but with significantly less attention than he had before. 

Arya then pulled her phone and sent a quick text - a picture of the cat she had been playing with earlier. 

Instantly, Gendry’s phone screen light up and the man raced to grab it. Arya watched as her friend’s face softened and he chuckled to himself. He began to type a bit of text, and then Arya saw the “cute” of his response pop-up on her phone. 

The bearded ginger man next to Gendry looked at his phone and began poking his side with his elbow. A group of workers around them joined in at the chirping - saying things like “Who’s the lucky sucker, Gen?” “Hey Bossman, who’s got you smiling like that?” “Look at Cupid!”

Gendry eventually had to leave the crowd hassling him, but had been smiling as he did so. Arya followed him to the hallway leading to the bathroom, his eyes glued to his phone the entire time. 

“Gendry,” Area said to her friend’s back.

Jumping, Gendry turned around. “Jesus, Arry,” he grabbed at his chest. “What the fuck?”

“Who are you texting?” Arya wasted no time in asking, her entire self being coasting on adrenaline at this point. 

“Wha- no one!” Gendry’s breathing and deep-set blush gave him away, so Arya pushed farther.

“Hot Pie and Sansa have both told me that the past few weeks you’ve been addicted to your phone,” Arya explained. “They think you have some secret girlfriend.”

“Girlfriend?” Gendry, if possible, became even more red.

“I didn’t believe them at first, but you certainly very attached to your phone right now.” Arya stepped closer and took said phone out of Gendry’s limp hand. She looked at the picture the two had taken weeks ago. Studying it now, it was very apparent how comfortable Gendry looked- more comfortable than he did with any of the other girls he had talked to at the bar, and more like how he looked when he had received her texted earlier. “Is it me?”

Gendry stayed silent, eyes glued to the phone screen Arya had been studying. 

“Because I like you.” She said it casually, but her heart was racing faster than it ever had before. 

“You what?” Gendry looked dup to meet her eyes.

She only quirked her eyebrow as he studied her face. His eyes followed the movement, slowly circling her features until they landed on her lips.

“Arya-” he had said, breathlessly. 

The word was all the encouragement Arya needed. The love drenched in every syllable of her name was too much for her to handle. She surged up meet his mouth with hers and kissed him deeply. His hands cradled her back, immediately responding to her. 

The broke off as quickly as they had begun, both very aware that they were still in a very public area. 

“My mother wants you to come to Sansa’s graduation dinner,” she told him in between breaths. 

“Do you want me to come?” He asked sincerely, but part of him already knowing the answer. 

“Yes.”

“As your friend or...” His eyes looked hopefully as he asked it. Arya laughed at herself for ever thinking there was ever anyone else. This was Gendry, the boy that would listen to her rants for days on end, who would do anything for her. What other girl could compete? “Boyfriend.” She said, trying and failing to hold back a smile.

Arrow 7x15 brain dump

Oh my gosh this episode was an absolute gift!!  Especially after the news we got last week, this fluffy beast of an episode could not have come at a better time (for me, at least)!  I’m not sure if part of the reason I enjoyed it so much was that we didn’t really see it coming?  I thought it would be sort of a filler episode that we typically get around this point in a season, that the OTA snippets we saw in the trailer would be about it, but boy was I wrong hahaha!!  I am still a mess!  There is so much to unpack here, I can’t form fully cohesive thoughts still, and this is shaping up to be another whopper, sorry 😬😬😬….

Olicity

Fresh off the pregnancy reveal to Oliver from last week, our ship is still a-sailing!! The heart eyes are back, the eye contact full-stop is back, the supportiveness (”We’re a team, too” “Always”😭😭😭) , the united front.  The little touches are getting there (we’re working up to that sex scene, I can feel it 🤞🤞🤞).  Oliver even looks better in this episode!!  Now, this could be the SCPD-issue tight t-shirt (it’s certainly not the hair), or just his more all-round peaceful demeanour that he seems to have achieved through baby/Felicity joy.

Source:plotbunnyshipper

Continued below the cut.

We got so much Olicity this week!  Multiple times! Olicity, all the time!  The first proper Olicity scene, has Oliver being all Zen-like over the SCPD set-up, meanwhile, Felicity already knows it’s gonna be a shit show.  Our girl is a genius, what more needs to be said? Turns out Oliver is so gung-ho with the SCPD because he wants to do everything he can to make their city a safe place for “our baby” (complete with little adorable smile) HCOJIDNFJKDNVJBDBV!!! This scene also has Oliver offering to make food for our starving/nauseous pregnant Felicity (squeeeee) and a DOUBLE KISS!!!!

Source: oliverxfelicity

Then we got a scene with an increasingly-frustrated Oliver (the Zen didn’t last too long) over the aforementioned inevitable SCPD shit show.  Where Felicity got to give a pep-talk resulting in this delightful exchange:

Source: oliverxfelicity

We got the eyes, the compliments, THE MINT CHIP!!  Scenes out of fanfic have arrived people!!  We see that Felicity has been busy getting the Arrow Cave back up and running, and we get some quality Green Arrow/Overwatch comms action too!!

Then, we get the absolute heart-warming/breaking scene at the end of the episode, which again the fandom could have written for us!!  Felicity is adorably checking out her non-existent bump, asking Oliver if she’s showing, to which he wisely says no 😂  Then they talk about baby names!!  Who would have thought this day would come??!?!!  Oliver is adorable in offering up the name Mia, as many predicted, in tribute to Moira.  I loved how Felicity had a far-away look in her eye, describing the name as “sweet and fiery” (well we got fiery, and a little bit of sweet haha).  Oliver just made me weep in his earnestness and sincerity here; all he wants is to make his children’s lives better than his has been. 

Source:olicitygifs

Then they lament how the children will “always have each other and they’ll always have us”.  Well if that didn’t shoot me straight in the gut!!  Because we have seen the future and 😭😭😭 *ugly sobbing ensues*.

Flash Forwards

These just keep getting better and better.  I know they’re still a bit divisive, but I’m seeing more and more people squeeing along with the likes of me at them haha!!  This week focused entirely on William and Mia (YAAAASSSS), and sees them at the Star City Bazaar doing a spot of Antique shopping, namely looking for a cassette player to play their “old tape from the 80s” 😂😂😂. Wow, way to make me feel ancient lol.  Will being the naïve cupcake that he is, bungles the transaction leaving Mia to go and beat up the vendor.  I loved seeing William hold her back, hilarious!  SO MUCH OLIVER!!  This is something Will tells her after, and it absolutely devastated me (and Mia, by the looks of her reaction) that she didn’t know the iconic “You have failed this city” line.  How is this not a thing of legend in Star City???  The answer to that hurts me too much so I will skip over for now!

Source: oliverxfelicity

Anyway, thanks to William’s techy genius (“like, literally” 😍 he is such a mini Felicity), they manage to cause a distraction, allowing Mia to knock out the vendor and for William to get the tape player.  That’s team work, guys!  Bonus lolz to Will’s saccharine “thank you” as he walks off 😂  Back at Mia’s base they eventually decide to play Felicity’s tape (“What are you waiting for?” “I dunno, what are you waiting for?” I STAN THESE SIBLINGS SO HARD)  And then here is where I died.  Firstly, Will’s nerves at hearing Felicity’s voice after 20 years 😭, Mia’s reassurance that they will listen together, and then Felicity’s message itself.  

Source:feilcityqueen

Felicity is alive bitches!!  After a delightful Felicity-ramble, she apologies to them both for keeping them apart, stating that “We did it because we love you” WE!!! Present tense!!!  Oliver lives too!!!  This is my happy place and I am staying here for as.long.as.I.possibly.can.  

She then directs them to give the team some coordinates then get the hell outta Star City.  I loved how there was no deliberation at all from the siblings, “So we’re ignoring her?” “Definitely”.  And they’re off to The Glades...duh duh duuuuuhhhhh!!!

OTA/Delicity

OTA is well and truly back this episode, following Dig’s apology last week.  There wasn’t masses of Diggle in this episode, and that is one thing I would have liked to have seen from this episode, but to be fair we have been so well fed that I will not complain!!

They told dig!!!!!!

Dig can tell that there is something Olicity aren’t telling him, and the kind of bashful joy on Oliver’s face is just so beautiful and heart-warming! 

Source:oliverxfelicity

Dig is so pleased for them!!  I love Uncle Dig!  And as always Uncy John has some sage advice for our OTP.  He tells them that in order to clean up the city for their family, without sending Oliver back to the Big House, that they have to find another way.  This is a motto that Arrow lives and dies by, but it felt all the more poignant here for some reason, maybe because OTA were finally coming back together?  Maybe because we’re aware now that the team as we know it is soon going to drastically change?  Maybe because the fracking show is ending soon HFDOVHUIERGBVSDVIFDVJDSHVODNVKODW!!!  Anyway, I had feelings about this whole scene (cue Beccie in floods of tears, again).  *whispers I would’ve really liked a hug here ok*

As if that beautiful OTA scene wasn’t fabulous enough, we got bonus Delicity!! I think this was so needed, given their particular distance so far this the season. Dig is still kissing arse a little bit (rightfully so), and not only offers felicity some sweets to help her morning sickness 😍 but offers her some reassurance that she’s got this.  “You were absolutely amazing out there, your tech was phenomenal”.  My Delicity heart is soaring!!  He goes on to point out just how brilliant her security system is (extra kudos for Felicity shading Curtis lol), and that it could be the basis for something much bigger….Smoak Technologies anyone??

Team Arrow/SCPD storyline

The training montage at the start of the episode was everything!!  Felicity’s in particular facial expressions were absolutely hilarious; the utter horror of not being able to hack, and using outdated computer systems were just delightful! Even Wild Dog got a quality quip in there about having their own uniforms.  

I really wasn’t looking forward to this aspect of the episode, as I just find the whole SCPD angle annoying and ridiculous this season.  Luckily, this episode was a means to an end, and finally addressed the problematic nature of mixing the Police with the Vigilantes in this way.

The SCPD didn’t seem to want to learn anything from Team Arrow.  Where is the sense in having these people join the force if they aren’t going to provide some unique skills and training?  And the first thing they do is strip them of their weapons and their suits (ahh, if only literally….*ahem*).  They do have a point when it comes to gathering evidence legally, not using coercive ‘interview’ techniques and so on, but presumably, by some kind of TV magic, they were able to successfully convict plenty of criminals caught by Team Arrow previously…so what has changed?  

The evil little Mayor keeps popping up this season, trying to undermine the Team. Oliver never seemed to have this much clout with the SCPD when he was Mayor Handsome.  So why does Mayor Tiny spend so much time there?  Clear off!  Her interference, and the apparent loss of Dinah’s cry, leads to Dinah having a crisis of confidence, briefly picking the SCPD over the Team.  Wild Dog gets all up in her face with a sense-making motivational speech, which he seems to be doing a lot of this season…who knew he had it in him??  Anyhow, Dinah eventually comes to terms with losing her cry, and decides to continue being the Black Canary.  This plot point seemed superfluous to me.  Sara nor Laurel had a meta-cry, and they turned out alright as Canaries…..wait….never mind.  If only they had some friends with medical and meta-human expert knowledge and technology (looking at you Larry)?!?!

Anyway, I enjoyed the twist that Team Arrow had actually been working with the SCPD during the final mission scene, following Dig’s advice that they needed to become ‘something else’.  DD blackmailed dirty Mayor tiny into giving Team Arrow free-rein under the SCPD umbrella still, and repealing the anti-vigilante law.  Yay team Arrow!!  No more SCPD storyline!  All’s well that ends well!

Black Siren/Emiko

I think they took up an acceptably small portion of the episode, and it was just about enough for my liking.  This reaffirmed that I only really care about BS when she’s in scenes with Felicity, but it was nice seeing her try to do the right thing with solving Diaz’s murder.  As many predicted, Emiko killed Lizard Boy, as she is working for Dante.  Even doing this didn’t endear me to Emiko any more I’m afraid.  I just don’t care about her, sorry.  The showdown between BS and Emiko has potential to be interesting, and could lead to conflict between BS/Felicity/Oliver/Emiko in coming episodes, but my babies don’t need any more conflict, just let them be pleeeaaaase!!

The surprise that no one saw coming (I didn’t see anyone call it; well done Boss Beth!), was the appearance of baby Bronze Tiger, Connor ‘Hawke’ Turner.  Connor Hawke from the FFs is Bronze Tiger’s son, adopted by Dig and Lyla?!?!?!  Fab idea, writers!  This likely means that Ben Turner is going to die imminently, which is such a shame because he had so much potential in the prison arc!!  I loved seeing him again in this episode!

Looking ahead

THAT TRAILER GUYS!!!!!  MSDOI;’#GFHGSD;VNSD’K[GSDJVANVNFDK!!!!!!! I was not ready.  None of us were ready it seems!!!  We’re gonna see Mia’s birth this season!!!!  Oliver will be there!!  There’s a photo of Olicity and baby Mia!!!!  AAAAAAAAAGHGHAGHAGHAGHA!!!

Source:olicitygifs

The Team is back!!  But now we see this joint ‘black ops’ type scenario joining Team Arrow and the SCPD together, along with the repealing of the Anti-Vigilante law, the landscape isn’t tying in with the FFs. How do we get to the point where Vigilantes are utterly outlawed and hated by society, when they have done so much to help the city over the years?  What changes?  Is this why Oliver is ‘gone’?  Why Felicity appears to have to give birth to Mia in some abandoned farmhouse somewhere? Where Mia has to be kept hidden? Where Mia and William can’t know of each other’s existence, or be spoken of in the same sentence (seriously….the TEARS!!)?  Where Mia can’t even go by the name Queen for her own safety?  I HAVE SO MANY QUESTIONS!!  I think Emiko could be at the bottom of this somehow.  She’s literally doing nothing else interesting.

Either Oliver and Felicity, or Rene and Dinah must be on the outs from the Team soon, to explain the latter’s unawareness of Mia.  Could this be this why only Rene and Dinah have been set up in the FFs so far, because this is the only place we will see them next season? (Assuming they are coming back for S9).

I am so unbelievably excited for next week now.  It’s gonna be dark, I know, but I’m hoping we get a decent amount of questions answered, and see Future Felicity and Diggle!!  (I’d love to see future Oliver, but not holding out hope for that just yet).  I was looking forward to the all-future episode anyway, as I’m living for Mia and William right now, but now???  Bring.it.on!

As always, huge thanks to the amazingly talented gif-makers in our fandom. Kisses and jazzy-hugs all round 😘😘😘🤗🤗🤗

Cock teasing gone wrong

This is a work of fiction

Kristine is addicted to cock teasing, often dressing up and role playing to achieve the level of arousal she wants for foreplay. She has role-played multiple roles, from innocent students to office sluts, however her first attempt as a tired lactating mother in the midst of pumping milk ended up in a disaster she would never imagine possible.

* this piece contains scenes that might make you uncomfortable, i mean it *  

..........................................................................

My wife Kristine is that petite sweet young thing on the road that you would mistake as a student.

At 1.55m tall, her slim and slender frame makes her appear to be younger that she really is. Her naturally fair and blemish free complexion compounded that school girl effect.

Kristine may be small in size but she’s blessed with naturally big racks, her breast are supple and firm. It’s a small C cup and boy I have to admit those were the first things to draw my attention when I first knew her.

Needless to say, Kristine’s good looks meant she had a lot of suitors both inside and outside of work but thankfully, with my wit and cunning, I won her over fair and square.

Sex with Kristine can only be described as mind blowing.

She’s light, at 46kg. This meant I could easily lift her up against my large frame and bang her brains out while keeping her suspended in mid air.

The first time we did it, Kristine moaned and squirted all over my body as she battled the intense orgasm while drooling and clinging onto my neck and shoulder.

Not only is she a minx in the bedroom, Kristine is also the envy of many in the kitchen.

She can whipped up a good meal and did I mention she’s meticulous with housework too ?

What more can a man ask for in his life ?

I consider myself truly lucky to have Kristine as my wife.

At work, Kristine leads a small team of 4 doing marketing for a cosmetic company. Don’t let her looks deceive you though, she can be a bas ass in the meeting room and she knows when to stand her ground.

Clients wise, well, who could resist that devilish look Kristine gives when trying to wrangle things her way.

I am well aware of the hold and power my wife holds over other men with the way she looks and dress.

It’s ok with me, I’m not the jealous type.

I know my wife well, she is not the type to cheat on me.

I have full confidence in Kristine.

Kristine however, has a slight flaw.

A flaw that I kept reminding her to correct , if not, one day, it’s going to get her into trouble.

That flaw is her being a cock teaser.

Yes, I hate to admit it but my wife is a cock teaser.

She likes to dress provocatively to tease the eyes of other men. Kristine enjoys the attention she gets from the men when we go out. Countless times, we spotted men secretly taking pictures of her at the mall, at the escalator , even on the train.

We would pretend not to notice but it was bloody obvious.

I would check the sex forums and usually by the evening, my wife’s pictures will be on those forums.

Her photos will be up and both of us would be reading the comments.

“ that body needs a good fuck “

“ I’m going to rip her clothes off “

“ fucking slut…. She needs a good one to satisfy her “

Comments like this turns Kristine on more than any foreplay.

The thought of faceless men wanking off to her pictures and thinking about her body is enough to make her wet herself.

This is one of the reason why Kristine continued to be a cock teaser when she’s not working.

She eventually grew tired of cock teasing men at the mall and in public as she wanted to seek a new thrill.

That was when she started taking risks.

She started going further, taking cock teasing to another level.

I was fucking aroused the first time she did it. My cock got so hard that I fucked her for 2 hours straight and I came 3 times.

Kristine started teasing delivery men.

Yes, delivery guys sending food and parcels to our place.

She would order food, and made a deliberate attempt to dress up.

No, my wife did not dress up in some sexy bikini or revealing lingerie.

She capitalised on her girlish looks to dress up as a student.

She started with her JC uniforms. Putting on that innocent white bra underneath that white blouse. Her skirt would be folded at the waist to make it appear shorter than it really is.

It will be at least a good 3 inches up from her knees and enough to give the discipline mistress a heart attack.

Kristine is not contended with just receiving food while pretending to be a student. She would make sure the setting, the details, everything fits.

She would choose to pay by cash, the delivery guy would be asked to put the food at the table while she searches for money.

The table would have her books, her notepads, her girlish phone with cartoon covers. All these to give an impression that she is studying.

The sofa would be strewn with fresh laundry with her bras and panties at the top to give an impression that the family is out working and no one is free to finish up the housework.

Kristine would leave a button undone, striking a more casual dress sense since she is at home.

With her full breast, that petite body and her deliberate action of trying to search for loose change while allowing the delivery man to ogle at her breast, I dare say everyone left our place with a hard on.

It’s not only school uniforms that Kristine likes to use as a cock teasing attire.

There was once she received the delivery with a pair of FBT shorts riding so high that her whole inner thigh is exposed and she was wearing only a sports bra on top.

I was hiding behind the kitchen and the moment the door opened, I could see the delivery rider adjusting his erection as Kristine pretended to drop some coins she prepared, rearing up her bottom to face him while she picks them up.

There was also the mid shower scenario that Kristine digs.

Timing her shower such that the guy would appear, Kristine would rush out of the shower, towel around her body with her hair dripping wet.

Sometimes when she feels like it, my wife would do the stuck up office lady attire while pretending to flirt on the phone.

A tight figure hugging dress with the phone on one ear while she tried to put on her earrings on the other.

Kristine would speak loud enough for the delivery guy to hear and create a scenario that she is cheating on me.

Kristine : my husband is outstationed…. You want to come and fuck me tonight in my bed ? hahaha….. yes… I miss that long cock of yours….hur hur hur….

A quick sentence like this while mouthing a thank you in with that seductive dressing always put a smile on the delivery man’s face.

Needless to say, after each teasing, we would fuck like bunnies, our intercourse greatly enhanced by the cock teasing my wife did.

It made her wet beyond any other forms of foreplay.

I told my wife repeatedly though to tone it down, take things down a notch, and never to do it when I’m not around at home.

Kristine always says I’m a nag.

I told her it’s for her own safety.

She never took me seriously.

Then that faithful day finally came.

That day when Kristine’s cock teasing finally went a bit too far.

Or maybe it was just her unlucky day to get a horny sex starved delivery man who just got out of jail for sexual offences not too long ago.

It was like any other day after work.

I would video call Kristine in my hotel after my meeting.

I logged into my home’s security system that offers a live stream of my living area. The camera can cover the field of view from the entrance to the living room where the windows are.

There’s a 2nd camera that covers the kitchen and the entrance but that’s just a backup and it doesn’t record.

I would use these to check on my wife whenever I’m out stationed.

I gave Kristine strict instructions not to do any of her cock teasing nonsense when I’m not around but she came home from work that day feeling extra horny.

Kristine video called me and told me she needed to cum.

I wanted to do video sex but she said no, it might get leaked or hack.

She told me she ordered dinner in and will probably tease the delivery guy a little to get herself wet before fingering herself off to end the night.

I was against it but she said the delivery was already on the way and reaching in 20 minutes.

The least I could do was to stay on the line and wait for the delivery to arrive to make sure everything is ok.

And so I waited as I chatted with my wife.

I never expected my world to be shattered that day.

I never expected to be forced to watch a live stream of my wife being taken against her will by the food delivery guy.

And worst of all, I never expected that guy to invite his friends up to my place.

Hakuoki: Edo Blossoms Part 6 - Sanan Keisuke Route

Hijikata writes haikus (poems)?! It’s so hard to imagine! I guess that’s why he hid them under floorboards until Okita found them lolol. Guess it’s good that he did, since that inspired Sanan to look at the floorboards in Chizuru’s house to find some info on Furies. Btw, gotta admit that for the western uniforms, I really think Sanan matches really well with it, suits him so well! You can’t really blame Sanan for not taking it well when Hijikata said they weren’t going to deploy the Fury Corps with them to siege Kofu Castle, in a sense, it would feel like it’s only when they can’t do it that they will then ask for the Fury Corps and so when they don’t need them right now because the Shogunate gifted them guns and cannons, then they just leave them here because they’re an inconvenience if discovered.

I’m happy that Chizuru so desperately plead to Sanan that she believes that he’s not the one behind the gruesome murders in Edo at night, but you can’t blame Hijikata and Heisuke for suspecting him. They definitely wouldn’t hope for it to be him, but really, better to be safer than sorry and as a rather lonely Fury before Heisuke came along, you really have to wonder how he dealt with the bloodlust reactions for the past 3 years since Chizuru never gave him blood until now…and they didn’t know about the medicine until they went to her house… I’m happy that Chizuru believed in Sanan when no one else did (serial murders in Edo), it seems that the Imperial Army had their Furies running away and devastating the town and Sanan and Amagiri were dealing with them. Not that it’s any better since that means Sanan was working with Imperialists behind their backs and getting info about Furies that way. Guess there was no way about it besides leaving since the Shinsengumi guys made him go on house detention. It was cute how he bothered to say goodbye to Chizuru though. Too bad he doesn’t believe that the living and the dead (since he’s a Fury) should be together so he left without her. Although I guess without him there, Chizuru felt that there was no more reason for her to stay either and left too. Still kinda amazed that Sanan actually left with all the Furies in the Shinsengumi though.

I’m glad Sen and Kimigiku were there beside Chizuru to look for Sanan since he’s most likely with Kodo anyway and they’re looking for the latter because he’s producing Furies against the Demon clan rules etc. I was worried when Chizuru was looking for Sanan herself but I’m happy that she’s got nice reliable allies now haha. I seriously didn’t think Sanan would betray her like this and bring her to Kodo and her brother, I also didn’t expect him to have given his Fury Corps to them to experiment on either…. I’m not surprised that Heisuke came to save Chizuru and help out Sen and Kimigiku, but it’s really nice to know that it was Hijikata who told him to stay and look after Chizuru, he’s so soft-hearted but that’s what I love about him hahaha. Nice to know what Kodo’s goal was all this time though, he wants a perfect serum to make everyone in the world to drink it so that there would be no more distinction between Demon and human and they can live in harmony. I guess the humans destroying the Demon clans really changed something in him, and so everything he’s done til this day was for this… It’s just saddening I guess. It’s not like he wants to take over the world, he just wants peace as the ultimate goal, except he’s killing so many to achieve it, whether it be Furies or those sacrificed to the Furies’ bloodlust…

I see… There was no choice for Sanan and a lot of the other Furies, they had to join Kodo to find a way to save themselves from withering into ash, their times were running out… If Heisuke is really dead though, I’ll still never forgive Sanan. Not all the Furies are Sanan’s responsibility! Even if their time were to expire then that just means that the extra time they were given has ended, how could they sacrifice so many innocent people who were killed because of bloodlust to further their own lives? Honestly, I don’t understand and I don’t want to either because it’s not something I’ll ever accept. As for Chizuru, I’m not sure why she’s so persistent with wanting to be with Sanan etc but okay, whatever she wants. I never realised that Kodo could have taken in Kaoru as well but he chose to leave him with a second rate Demon clan (that ended up abusing him) because he thought he was useless. No wonder why Kaoru is so obstinate about hating Chizuru. They’re twins, they’re practically the same, but she got lucky and was the girl and got to live a happy life. It’s such a small but significant difference…

Anyway, as expected, Sanan didn’t kill Heisuke and they’ve been planning to stop Kodo and save Chizuru from them. Similar to the other routes, Kodo always seems to help them out only when he’s on the brink of death, otherwise he barely cares for anything besides his goals. I feel like Kodo is so flexible for most of the routes lol, it’s like most of the time, he’s obsessed with his goals but when it’s convenient for the plot, he’ll care for Chizuru to make us feel a bit sad for their relationship lol. I find it hard to connect with him lol. Not surprised that Kaoru ended up being the one to kill Kodo considering the hatred of being abandoned by him as a kid and having to suffer all that abuse from the Nagumo clan because he did that. I’m surprised that Sanan and Chizuru went all the way to Europe to try and discover an antidote for the Furies though, like wow, that’s a super long journey. They were super cute together in the snow though haha, with him wanting her to say that she’s cold so he can hug her tight😊

Oh yeah, I quite enjoyed the unrequited love ending though because it was kinda nice to see how apathetic Sanan was to running out of time and turning into ashes, but seeing Chizuru cry for him made him a bit touched but sad about having to leave this world before her. So in the end, he just told her to forget about him so she could continue living her life even without him.

Overall, I’m not sure what to think of Sanan’s route. I think I’m confused as to what I feel lol. I like Sanan since he’s cold on the outside and tries to have a cold heart too but he can’t help but soften up to Chizuru because she shows him that there’s still at least one person who unconditionally believes in him. Which I guess kinda felt unrealistic since I don’t feel like they interacted that much that she could believe in him so, but it’s unconditional so okay, I just don’t feel the romance in this route either lol. I also don’t think I can really feel for his reasons as well, like it’s not that I don’t understand, and anyway, him going to Kodo ended up allowing them to defeat the whole camp from the inside anyway so it���s good in a way but I just feel like, it doesn’t show Sanan accomplishing anything at Kodo’s place? Like, I don’t really see much change in his character? I guess it was just to show Sanan going down a supposedly wrong path initially but understanding that there was something more important than what his initial reasons were? But I don’t think it showed it well enough for me to think, yeah, I can see his solace in Chizuru? Yeah, I don’t know, I just know I didn’t really like the route or think much of it really lol😅😅 All I really know is that I’m excited for Yamazaki because I like him and other people seem to like him too so yay lolll.

Extra Credit: Part 6 (Shalaska) - Rosie

A/N: Sorry times a million for keeping you waiting for more Extra Credit! But it’s finally here! Thank you times a million for being so patient! Since the last chapter I took a slight detour and wrote this three part fic called Tattletale which you can read here, here and here. I’m really proud of it and think it somewhat justifies the annoying break. But now I’m back! With better writing! And a cheerleading uniform which ends up on the floor! My sideblog @aqrosie has heaps of head canons on both TT and EC and I post updates there so come and join us if that's your thing!

Story Summary: University professor Sharon Needles hooks up with a slamming hot blonde at a bar who may or may not be one of her students.

Catch Up on Extra Credit: Part One, Two, Three, Four and Five 

There were two things Sharon was positively sure of as she brushed her teeth one morning a week after asking Alaska to be her girlfriend. 

Firstly, she was officially dating a student, and she was more than aware of that fact. She looked at Alaska’s pink toothbrush sitting innocently in her toothbrush holder cup, zoning out as she brushed her molars harder than her dentist would have liked. 

Secondly, she liked it. Sharon would go as far as to say she loved Alaska, but that thought sent a thrill up her stomach and made her weak at the knees. She couldn’t remember the last time she had felt like this, and part of her knew perhaps this was the first time.

Years, even just months ago Sharon was scandalised at the thought of professors shagging undergraduates. She could never see a student that way, no matter how hard they flirted with her in an attempt to boost their grades. It was an abuse of power. Forbidden.

But Alaska wasn’t her student when she met her in that bar, or when she got on her knees in that bathroom, or when she took her home. That made everything so different, and it made Alaska irresistible.

Sharon spat her toothpaste and rinsed her mouth, before a pair of arms wrapped around her waist from behind.

“Do you have to leave?” Alaska whined, hugging Sharon’s back and inhaling the expensive scent of her chic office clothes. 

“Not by choice,” Sharon said as she turned around, seeing Alaska in a loose dark blue university sweatshirt and nothing else, her blonde hair piled on top of her head as strands fell out. “Believe me.” 

She kissed Alaska, one arm wrapping around her thin waist while her other hand slipped down and teased her between her legs.

“How,” Sharon questioned, pulling away and breaking their kiss, “is she always rearing to go? Even after this morning?” 

Alaska burst out laughing at Sharon’s loving disbelief, her youthfully high libido always a source of wonder to Sharon, who proudly enjoyed her wholesome couple of orgasms before wanting to snuggle up and sleep.

“I don’t know,” Alaska glowed, shrugging her shoulders as her hand met Sharon’s, encouraging her to keep going.

“I might be late,” Sharon said softly against Alaska’s hair, her middle finger circling her slick clit as she watched as the younger girl’s eyelids flutter shut.

“Then be quick,” Alaska sighed quietly, capturing Sharon’s lips with hers as Sharon’s touch increased.  

Sharon stepped them backwards to hold Alaska against the tiled bathroom wall. She massaged Alaska’s throbbing bud before alternating and rubbing between her slick folds and teasing her entrance.

Since Alaska came twice this morning, they both knew she didn’t need much. Sharon kissed her deeply as her touch became more frantic, the sound of Alaska’s wetness bouncing around the bathroom walls as Sharon’s tongue lapped against hers.

Alaska whined as she slipped her hand underneath her loose sweatshirt to squeeze one of her breasts, her thighs shaking as she arched against the cold tiles, a sharp contrast to the warmth of her skin and the heat of Sharon’s touch.  

“Look at you,” Sharon whispered, knowing dirty talk was a kink for the both of them, “so fucking desperate for me. So wet for me. It’s never enough for you.” 

Alaska nodded feverishly, an incoherent response bubbling out of her as her orgasm built. Her hips jerked against Sharon’s touch, and as she looked down, the sight of her naked legs against Sharon’s sleek outfit made her pulse.

“Need you, always need you,” Alaska whined.

And finally she was coming, her orgasm shuddering through her body as she gripped onto Sharon, moaning as her thighs clenched and her eyes squeezed shut.

“Don’t stop, hgn, fuck,” she managed during Sharon’s relentless touch.

She pulled her through her high, only slowing down when Alaska’s breathing began to calm. Alaska brought their lips together, knowing as soon as Sharon was out of her arms she’d be leaving. 

“Will that suffice until I’m home?” Sharon smirked, pecking her on the lips once more before slowly moving away. 

“Perhaps,” Alaska mused, giggling as Sharon lightly slapped her ass as she moved to wash her hands.

“What’s on your agenda for today?”

“I have that two hour tutorial at three,” Alaska said as she leaned against the towel rack and played with her hair in the mirror. “Do you mind if I stay here and study? I actually feel like I get shit done because I have no distractions. And everyone is cramming in the library before the break.” 

“Of course!” Sharon replied. “Feel free to use my office too, and you know how to work the coffee machine?”

“Yes,” Alaska smiled, following Sharon out of the bathroom. “And thank you.”

She watched as the older woman slipped her black heels on and applied her berry-toned lipstick in the mirror near the apartment’s front door. Grabbing her keys, bag and coat, she turned and gave Alaska one last peck on the lips. 

“Are you going back to the dorm tonight?” Sharon asked, already planning her solo TV dinner. 

“Yeah,” Alaska bit her lip. “Looks a bit sus as I spent Sunday here.” 

“Yeah, exactly.” 

There was a brief moment where they just looked at each other, both wondering how long this strategic planning would last while knowing it was for their safety. 

“I can’t wait until next week,” Sharon said softly as she played the drawstrings of Alaska’s sweatshirt, wishing she could stay home with her. 

“Me too,” Alaska replied, already smiling again and almost bouncing on her toes. 

As she watched Sharon leave, excitement bubbled through her. Next week was the Fall break, an entire week with no university responsibilities for the both of them. No lectures for Sharon to plan, and no draining tutorials for Alaska to endure. But the best part? Alaska was staying with Sharon for its entirety. No scampering back to the dorm or tip toeing around Courtney, who thankfully didn’t notice her unusually high absentness as she was cooped up in the library studying.

It had all been planned out too. Courtney thought Alaska was heading back to Eerie to spend the break with her parents. Her parents thought Alaska was staying on campus as she had “so many assignments to still complete.”

And Alaska was a forward planner. In the lead up to this mission she had subtly asked her mother for pictures of their home when texting and currently had a folder of images to send to Courtney in an attempt to really pull off this charade. There was a photo of their pool on a sunny day, a picture of cookies her mother had just made, and heaps of new photos of Alaska’s cat, all ready and waiting for when Courtney inevitably Snapchatted her about her break. 

Of course, Alaska had planned for her parents too. She snapped photos of her study set up in the event of giving her parent’s physical proof of her apparent work ethic, and already had a bunch of selfies with her friends her parents hadn’t seen yet to show she was “taking time out and enjoying her social life.” 

It was a great plan, because in reality, she’d be in Sharon’s arms for the entire week. 

*

Sharon settled down on her couch while a hot bowl of pumpkin soup and a glass of red wine sat ready and waiting for her on her coffee table. Cerrone hopped up onto the couch after seeing his owner doing the same and pretended to not enjoy the incredible pets Sharon was currently giving him as she clicked through her Netflix to set up another episode of Queer Eye. 

Sharon was content. This used to be her ideal set up when she was single and wanted nothing else but to mindlessly eat, watch, and cuddle her fur baby after work. But as she gasped at the lazy lifestyle of the straight man on screen and cooed at his transformation, she wanted nothing more than to have Alaska next to her.

As if on cue, the girl in question messaged her. 

A: What are you having for dinner? : )

Sharon let herself squeal like she was a decade younger and didn’t even bother to pause the Fab Five as she replied.

S: Pumpkin soup : ) I made so much so I have leftovers for when you pop in over the next few days!

A: Oooh delish!

Sharon couldn’t stop smiling as they texted, filling each other in on their day and wishing they were together, but still grateful for this kind of communication. It sent a thrill through Sharon to know Alaska was sitting on her bed in her dorm just metres from Courtney.

A: Btw I can’t come over Friday night for fall break, but Sat morning instead

S: No worries, is everything okay?

A: Yea just something came up

One of Sharon’s eyebrows rose, but she didn’t pry, knowing Alaska might tell her. She snorted when a message came through a minute later.

A: It’s a pep rally

A: And I’m a cheerleader lol

Sharon sat up so quickly from her lounging position she scared Cerrone away.

“A cheerleader,” she announced loudly to no one before taking a large sip of wine. This was all too much.

S: A

S: CHEER

S: LEADER

A: omg

S: And you’re only telling me now BECAUSE?

A: Idk

A: : )

S: Do you have…

S: … a uniform

A: Yes : )

S: I’m gonna pass out

A: Hahaha

A: It’s no biggie, I’m on the reserve team in case one of the actual cheerleaders can’t perform at comps and stuff, but I never get picked for comps anyway. But we all have to cheer for pep rallies

A: I suck so bad, like I have no timing or rhythm but I think I look cute haha

S: I can imagine

An idea popped into Sharon’s head, somehow getting through between all the new fantasies of Alaska in a pleated cheer skirt and nothing else.

S: Would you mind if I came and watched?

A: Oh you don’t have to!

A: Like of course I’d love you there but it might be a bit boring? Idk there will be a lot of students and yelling haha and we won’t be able to talk but if you want to??

S: I’m gonna come

A: Omg

“Do we have to go?” Willam whined, clicking her mouse around her screen and shutting down her computer, more than ready to leave her university office and not think about work for the next week. It was finally Friday afternoon, and Sharon was pumped for the pep rally, and the week ahead with just Alaska. “Can’t we just go straight to the drinks?”

“No!” Sharon protested, standing in Willam’s office with her bag in her hand and her coat already on, like an excited child ready for their first day of school. “Come on, we’ve worked here for god knows how many years and have never once gone to a pep rally. Let’s show some spirit!”

Willam grimaced at Sharon’s unusually good mood. But come to think of it, Sharon had been quite happy over the last few weeks. What was that about?

“I just want to pop in for a little while, sus it out, see what it’s like, and then I promise we’ll head off and I’ll buy you your first drink at the bar.” 

Willam smiled before hopping out of her leather chair.

“Okay,” she said happily, grabbing her bright orange coat that somehow looked amazing paired with her blue eyeshadow and pink lipstick.

They hiked through the campus in their heels, eventually joining the mass of students and smattering of staff members here for the pep rally. The grandstand crowd was a sea of blue and yellow, the universities colours, with painted banners boasting generic school spirit phrases.

“Fuck, it’s cold out,” Willam whined. “God there are so many people. Why are we even here—“

“Look! There’s an empty spot at the top,” Sharon interrupted, grabbing Willam’s wrist and pulling her work bestie up the grandstand stairs. They scrambled up to secure their seats and sat down on the cold metal benches, Willam’s loud orange coat and Sharon’s go-to uniform of all black sticking out in the sea of yellow and blue.

“I’m so confused, is a game happening? Sharon we hate sport.” 

“I… don’t think so,” Sharon squinted. “Pep rallies are weird.”

“Let’s go then,” Willam shrugged, moving to stand up. “We came, we saw, we decided to leave and get shit faced—“

“No!” Sharon said, grabbing Willam’s coat sleeve. “It hasn’t started yet. 10 more minutes.” 

Sharon’s heart raced with anticipation as she looked out at the empty field. Alaska told her it would start around 5:30, but if Willam dragged them out before the cheerleaders came out, this would have been for nothing.

But suddenly, a horn blew and both professors jumped as everyone around them rose to their feet. The voice of a dramatic announcer came over the loud speaker as the lights of the field dimmed and the roar of the crowd grew. 

“Oh come on theatrics!” Willam yelled to Sharon over the noise, not being able to stop the smile on her face at the atmosphere. 

Two students raced onto the field and held up a huge banner as the MC pumped up the crowd. Suddenly the lights switched on and exposed the field to the audience right as a group burst through the banner. 

It was the cheerleaders.

Sharon almost squealed and went to grab Willam’s hand before thinking ahead to clutch her own hands to her chest as she beamed.

The crowd went wild as the cheerleaders bounded into action, jumping, skipping and flipping in all directions before somehow forming a perfect formation. On cue, Beyonce’s Formation came on, and Sharon and Willam smiled and clapped along while wondering if this was a copyright infringement. 

Sharon’s eyes combed the mass of girls like an eagle, trying to spot one tall blondie in particular. Every time she thought she found her, the girl would turn around and not be Alaska, before their choreography dissolved them all into each other and Sharon became lost again. 

Her heart sank a little when she realised Alaska might not even be on the field. She remembered how she mentioned they had a reserve team that didn’t perform, and this current group looked pretty incredible. Sharon surveyed the entire performance, enjoying the spectacle as all the girls moved in unison. 

Well except for that one of the end who looked a beat behind. 

Sharon’s eyes widened.

“Ohmygodtheresheis!” Sharon squealed, her voice high pitched as she beamed.

“What?” Willam asked, distracted by all the chaos and the tiny skirts flipping up as the girls were effortlessly tossed into the air. 

“Nothing!” Sharon smiled, not taking her eyes off Alaska, who was waving blue and yellow pom poms and kicking her long legs in the air, a solid beat behind the others but smiling at the crowd as she did so. She looked absolutely stunning with her high ponytail and giant bow, so it was no wonder her missteps here hardly noticeable.

The routine finished and Sharon cupped her hands around her mouth when she cheered before clapping wildly. The MC revved up the crowd, and as Willam checked her phone, Sharon watched Alaska mill around with the other cheerleaders, catching their breathes and waving to the crowd. 

She willed Alaska to look her way. There were several hundred people watching, and she prayed she would somehow spot them in the sea of faces. She saw Alaska look out into the crowd, her eyes slowly searching. Sharon wished she could have called out her name, stood up and waved, anything to get her attention to show her in the moment how proud of her she was and that Alaska could see she really did come out to support her. But Alaska’s gaze was ripped from the crowd when another cheerleader walked up to her to talk. Sharon’s shoulders slumped slightly in disappointment.

“Some of them are cute,” Willam smiled, elbowing Sharon lightly.

Sharon’s heart stopped.

“Mmh, I guess,” Sharon tried to feign disinterest while giving Willam a wide side-eye, who was busy admiring the cheerleaders. 

“That blonde one is cute,” Willam mused.

Sharon’s ears picked up and her gaze sharpened. 

“Who?” She frowned, trying to follow Willam’s line of sight. If Sharon dragged Willam along to this freaking pep rally only to watch her get excited over Alaska, well she’d be damned.

“That little one bouncing around,” Willam whispered, pointing subtly.

Sharon’s eyes darted from cheerleader to cheerleader before she spotted the short bouncing blonde, and she sighed in relief when it wasn’t Alaska, but instead her friend Catherine— or was it Courtney? It was Courtney. 

“Oh!” Sharon happily exclaimed. “Yes, cute.” 

Alaska was detangling a loose knot in her pom poms as the other cheerleaders loitered around the front of the grandstand, waving to the crowd and doing the odd trick for attention as tech students set up equipment for a musical performance. Sharon smiled softly. It was cute watching Alaska in public and seeing her in an environment that wasn’t a lecture hall or Sharon’s apartment. She looked so pretty, and friendly, and even a little awkward as she hugged herself from the brisk evening air, her long legs shaking slightly.

“I think that was the best part,” Willam sighed. “Should we head off? I need alcohol to warm me up.” 

“Uh, yeah,” Sharon said in defeat. It was freezing this high up on the grandstand, and she knew Willam’s patience was running thin. 

They stood up and began the tedious task of moving between people and down the metal steps, but Sharon kept her eyes on Alaska the whole time.

But like fate itself, something caused Alaska to look up at the corner of the grandstand. In the sea of blue and yellow, Willam’s bold orange coat stood out like an alarm. She squinted slightly, recognising the advertising professor’s face before realising Sharon was right next to her. And Sharon was looking at her, a huge smile spreading across her face as Alaska met her gaze. 

Alaska’s face split into a grin as Sharon raised her hand slightly and waved, to which Alaska replied by excitedly shaking one of her pom poms in the air. Warmth spread through her at the sight of Sharon in the crowd, and without realising it, moisture gathered in her eyes. Living away from home meant things like family being there for you physically wasn’t possible. But the sight of Sharon coming out to support her cheerleading, no matter how unimportant she felt she was to the team, was so touching.

She waited until Sharon and Willam reached the bottom of the steps before holding Sharon’s gaze again and pulling out her greatest, and only, trick – a one-handed cartwheel. She almost kicked fellow cheerleader Roxy Andrews in the face in the process, but the first few rows of the grandstand cheered for her, as if she was performing for them.

Sharon yelped, and Willam walked into her back as Sharon stopped in her tracks and watched Alaska just metres away from her.

“Woohoo!” Sharon yelled out before clapping, and Alaska’s cheeks almost hurt from smiling so much.

“Oof!” Willam scoffed after running into Sharon. “Bitch keep walking. The sports ball is about to come out and there’s a vodka and soda waiting for us.”

As predicted, the announcer’s voice came over the loud speaker, and soon enough athletes were running onto the field. Alaska and Sharon shared one last smile before Alaska had to jog over to her team, but not before she waved a pom pom at Sharon. 

*

“I have something to show you,” Sharon smiled, taking Alaska’s hand and walking her into the kitchen.

It was Saturday, the start of their week together, and Sharon had planned ahead. 

“I was just at the shops and I saw a few things so I thought I would stock up, you know?” Sharon rambled, opening the pantry.

“Aw, Sharon, you didn’t have to,” Alaska beamed, bringing her hands to her chest.

There in the pantry were a couple of Alaska’s favourite foods. A jar of Nutella, two share packets of these veggie chips she loved, and a bag of sour gummy worms because they were her guilty pleasure.

“I even found these,” Sharon said, grabbing a plastic tub of organic trail mix in a flavour that was Alaska’s favourite. “Because I know you said you liked to nibble on this while studying because it’s really healthy.”

“Aw, babe, thank you,” Alaska cooed, taken aback at the gesture and moving to wrap her arms around Sharon’s waist.

“And there’s more,” Sharon smiled, opening the fridge and rubbing Alaska’s back. “I stocked up on the Greek yogurt you got me hooked on, and I got a bottle of that white wine you liked because I only have red.”

Alaska had to bite her lip in a bid to stop smiling so wide.

“This is,” Alaska was almost lost for words, “the sweetest thing. Thank you.”

It was such a small gesture but it meant so much. Not only did Sharon go the extra mile to make her feel comfortable and at home, but it showed she listened to Alaska and paid attention. 

“There’s more,” Sharon smiled, excitedly walking them through her apartment towards her office. “I know you said you liked studying here, so I moved my printer onto the floor over there because I barely use it, and I had a second chair in storage, so I thought you’d like your own little space alongside me?” 

Alaska gasped. Space on the sleek white desk that ran around the perimeter of Sharon’s office had been cleared, and a blush pink leather chair now joined Sharon’s well loved brown one. 

With just one look Alaska could already picture them working in here during the day, Alaska writing up her assignments, Sharon marking them, a candle or two flickering with steaming cups of tea or coffee sat near them while music played softly in the background.

Almost embarrassingly, Alaska’s bottom lip quivered as her eyes prickled, threatening to tear up over some slight redecorating. 

“Aw, honey,” Sharon laughed, pulling Alaska into a hug and kissing her forehead.

“It’s just,” Alaska stumbled. “This is so sweet? And thoughtful? I’m so emotional wow, but thank you so, so much for this. You really didn’t have to do this but I’m so grateful.” 

“It was no hassle at all,” Sharon said, ignoring how she almost took her back out moving that damn printer in the name of love. “I’m so glad you like it!” 

“I absolutely love it,” Alaska sighed.

Sharon kissed her forehead again before lightly cupping Alaska’s cheeks and looking into her eyes. 

“I want you to know that you’re always welcomed here,” Sharon said, softly tucking a loose strand of hair behind Alaska’s ear. “I wish we didn’t have to sneak around and stuff, but I hope this makes you feel like your presence here isn’t fleeting, you know? And that… you still belong here, even when you’re not here. Does that make sense?” 

“Yes,” Alaska laughed, biting her lip. She knew exactly what Sharon meant, and it melted her heart. 

Their lips met, and Sharon inhaled deeply, savouring the moment as she felt her knees go weak at Alaska’s tongue tracing her bottom lip.

In all honesty, she was a little nervous to show Alaska her adjustments. Would she care? Would it be a bit much? Not enough? Did she even get the right wine?

But she had no reason to worry. 

“I actually brought something to show you,” Alaska said, pulling away from their kiss as an idea twinkled in her eyes. “Go wait in the bedroom.”

“She’s bossy,” Sharon remarked, laughing as she went and sat on her bed. She checked her emails on her phone as she waited, and it was only when she was glaring at yet another student asking for extra credit points did Alaska appear in the bedroom doorway.

Sharon’s phone fell from her hands and landed on the bed. 

“Oh wow…” She squeaked, and Alaska laughed when Sharon had to clear her throat. 

There in the doorway stood Alaska, head to toe in last night’s cheerleading outfit, minus the white turtleneck she had worn underneath. She had pulled her long blonde hair into a sleek ponytail and finished it off with the same blue and yellow bow she wore before. Her tight crop top stretched against her chest, the universities initials boldly printed across her breasts. The pleated skirt that had been burned into Sharon’s mind grazed the tops of her slender, toned thighs. She wore impeccably white sneakers with matching socks, and Alaska had even gone the extra mile and applied gold glitter on her eyelids, just like last night. 

Sharon pulsed. 

“Holy fuck,” she breathed.

Alaska giggled, slowly walking over to Sharon and standing against where her professor sat on the bed. 

“Do you like my uniform?” Alaska asked quietly, her fingertips trailing the hem on her tiny skirt.

Sharon nodded feverishly, her eyes widening as she physically felt the spell Alaska cast over her.

 “What about my skirt?” Alaska asked, her voice low and slow. “Do you like my skirt?”

She ran her fingers through the pleats and lifted the fabric slightly, stifling a laugh when Sharon visibly gulped at the sight of her wearing nothing underneath.

“Oh my god,” Sharon breathed, running her hands up Alaska’s thighs, feeling the combination of soft skin and blue fabric. “I love life.”

Alaska laughed, her hands tangling in Sharon’s blonde hair as she brought her face against her chest.

“What about my top?” She asked innocently. “It’s a little snug, a little thin, but that means my nipples show through.”

She brought her fingers to her breasts and squeezed them while moaning softly, sure enough showing Sharon her buds poking against the fabric. 

“I… will tear this off you,” Sharon whispered, because if she spoke any louder, she would actually flip them around and rip the uniform off Alaska’s body before burying herself between her legs. 

Alaska spun around, the pleats of her skirt flaring up as she moved and revealing a split second of her exposed ass before she sat down on Sharon’s lap, her back against Sharon’s chest. 

“What about my bow?” Alaska asked, arching her back as she fiddled with her hair, while having the audacity to grind herself against Sharon’s lap. Sharon’s right hand grabbed Alaska’s hip while her left twisted effortlessly around Alaska’s long ponytail and pulled it abruptly – not hard enough to hurt, but enough to jerk her head back. 

“Fuck yes,” Alaska whined, grinding harder as the other woman’s hips thrusted up. Sharon could feel herself getting wet, and the thought of Alaska’s bare skin against her tight jeans made her clench.

“You like that?” Sharon asked, her hand trailing down between Alaska’s thighs to rub her folds and clit underneath the skirt before she pulled at her ponytail again, slightly harder this time. 

“Hgn, god yes,” Alaska begged, her lips parting as she spread herself backwards across Sharon’s lap. “Fuck me.”

Sharon let go of her hair, only to grab at the zipper of her cheer crop top and pull it down, watching as the material peeled off around Alaska’s skin and slid down her arms, all the while continuing to tease Alaska. One of Sharon’s hands slinked up and squeezed at her left breast, thumbing over her nipple as Alaska arched against her, desperate for her touch. 

She stood up and turned to face Sharon, who pulled her back into her lap and licked a strip up the flat space between her breasts before cupping and circling Alaska’s right nipple with her tongue. Alaska gasped as Sharon sucked, her hands tangling in the other woman’s hair and pulling her closer as she threw her head back, her long ponytail grazing the top of her skirt in the process. Sharon’s hand looped around her body before she squeezed her ass and pulled away 

“Get on your knees, baby,” Sharon’s voice was horse and thick with lust. Alaska obeyed, sinking down onto the hardwood floors of Sharon’s bedroom and helping her pull her jeans off. Sharon slipped her underwear off, but not before Alaska noticed the wet spot she had drawn from the older woman, which sent pleasure down her spine.

Alaska spread Sharon’s legs apart, planting a trail of kisses inside her thighs before she reached her pussy, which thrusted up as Alaska got closer. Alaska mouthed over Sharon’s trimmed hair, teasing her before licking up her slick folds and tasting her.

“Ah, fuck,” Sharon whined, and the sound sent a pulse straight to Alaska’s clit.

Alaska continued, alternating her attention between the throbbing bundle of nerves and Sharon’s clenching entrance. She kept going, loosing track of time as she jumped between going fast and painstakingly slow.

“Ggh, don’t stop,” Sharon breathed, pressing Alaska closer as the younger girl hummed around her clit, sending vibrations through her veins.

She looked down, her breath hitching at the gorgeous sight of Alaska on her knees, her blue and yellow bow proudly holding up her ponytail, gold glitter shimmering on her closed eyelids and wetness smeared around her lips as she ate Sharon out. 

And then Sharon was coming, her thighs shaking and pleasure exploding from around Alaska’s lips, who moaned and whined and pulled Sharon through her orgasm as the older woman held her against her core.

“Fuck, fuck, fuck, yes, right, there, ah,” Sharon whined, grinding herself against Alaska until she came down from her high.

Alaska pulled back in satisfaction, wiping her mouth with the back of her hand before smiling smugly up at Sharon. 

“Not bad for a girl who can’t kick in time,” Alaska shrugged, standing up. But Sharon pulled her onto the bed. 

“Oh I’m not done.”

Sharon shakily rolled off the bed and opened the bottom drawer of her bedside table, looking for something in particular while she quickly unbuttoned her blouse. She left her black lacy bra on, knowing it’d look nice with her newest accessory. 

Alaska scoffed at the bottle of lube Sharon chucked onto the bed while rummaging through her things.

“I think she’s wet enough to not need some extra help,” Alaska said, rolling the bottle to the side. But she thought again when Sharon turned, a black strap on in her hand. 

“Oh,” Alaska said softly, pulsing, “I like that.”

Sharon laughed, climbing onto the bed.

“Can we use it?” Sharon asked. “I don’t know it’s just something about the skirt and—“

“God yes, please,” Alaska begged. “Here, let me help.”

In moments the toy was fitted into Sharon, its black straps cupping her ass cheeks before narrowing it and holding the main event firmly against her groin.

On all fours, Alaska palmed the black dildo before leaning down and wrapping her lips around its head. Its hardness and surprising weight felt foreign against her tongue, but as she brought more of its length into her mouth, she breathed in sharply, instinctively spreading her legs further apart on the sheets as she felt herself clench. 

“I’ve seen that in porn and wanted to try,” Alaska said sheepishly after Sharon had stared at her, wide eyed.

“N-no,” Sharon stammered, shaking her head out of her daze, “that was… so fucking hot.”

Alaska laughed before excitedly rolling onto her back, her pleated skirt flipping around her waist. Sharon spread her legs before lowering herself down between them. Her tongue found Alaska, who arched up against the sheets as Sharon showered her in pleasure, humming around her sensitive clit as a finger gently circled her entrance. In a blur of whines, fists clutching at sheets, and four fingers later, Alaska felt prepared.

“I’m ready,” she begged.

“You sure?” Sharon asked, and her caution made Alaska feel even safer. “I still want to use lube, you can never have enough lube.”

Alaska was almost hypnotised as Sharon drizzled the lube onto the black dildo jutting out from her crotch. She ran her hands over it, spreading the slickness and watching as the toy became darker and glossy. 

“Tell me if it’s too much, okay?” Sharon said softly as the two slotted into place. “Because I can’t feel it, and I don’t want to hurt you—“

“Sharon,” Alaska smiled, interrupting, “it’s okay. Actually, can I be on top? That way I can pace it better.” 

In seconds they had flipped, Sharon on her back against the pillows, Alaska thighs on either side of her body. Gripping the headboard in front of her, Alaska adjusted herself, her breath hitching as she felt the head graze against her folds. Sharon steadied her, her hands finding Alaska’s waist and holding the skirt material up, breathing heavily at her prime position.

Spreading her legs slowly Alaska gradually sunk down, gasping in pleasure as she felt the head of the strap on resist slightly before being enveloped around her walls. Relaxing fully, inches of the strap on quickly disappeared, her wetness and the lube effortlessly allowing it to fill her. She felt Sharon’s protective hands squeeze her waist at the visual, instinctively wanting to hold Alaska up as she whined out in pleasure.

“No,” Alaska protested, “it’s so good.” 

She lowered herself down completely, taking the full length of the toy and revelling at its weight inside her, her walls grasping around its shape.

Sharon gasped as she felt Alaska practically vibrate at the delicious stretch and the toy’s reach inside of her. 

“Fuck me,” Alaska whispered, her eyelids heavy with lust as she instinctively rutted against Sharon’s lap on the strap on.

It took a couple clumsy, lust fuelled thrusts, but seconds later they had found their rhythm, Sharon’s hip lifting up as Alaska slammed herself down. 

It was rough and hot and a thin sheen of sweat starting forming around Alaska’s hairline, but that was the last thing on her mind. Sharon’s hands were running across her body, over her chest, thumbing her nipples before grabbing her hips and taking control. Alaska could only throw her head back as she gripped the headboard, pleasure coursing through her veins as a stream of lust bubbled out between her lips.

“So good, so fucking good, yes, yes, Sharon, hgn, fuck me, fuck me, don’t stop, don’t stop,” Alaska whined, sucking in air as Sharon pounding into her. 

Sharon could only continue, watching as Alaska fell apart above her. She bit her lip as she watched Alaska’s breasts shake as she moved, as she flipped her blonde ponytail over her shoulder, as the gold glitter on her eyelids glistened when they caught the light. 

“I love this, but,” Sharon chocked out, fiddling with the skirt’s full length zipper until it opened, “it has to go.”

Alaska tore it from her body, not missing a beat as she did so. Sharon’s eyes almost rolled back as she watched Alaska vigorously slam herself down onto the dildo, fully taking control as her slick folds swallowed the black toy again and again and again.

Suddenly coming to a holt, Alaska stopped, only to roll her hips around the toy in a circular motion. She whimpered, her eyes closed and her bottom lip bitten as she built herself up, knowing her climax was close and edging herself along.

“That’s right, baby,” Sharon whispered, her voice croaky with desire. “Take it all, such a good girl…”

Alaska squeezed her breasts before grabbing Sharon’s hand and pressing it against her abdomen, giggling as Sharon realised what she could lightly feel. 

“You feel so fucking good inside me, so big inside me,” Alaska whined as she massaged Sharon’s palm against her soft stomach, before her face went serious and her tone dropped. “Get on top.” 

Sharon was more than happy to. Without pulling out she held Alaska’s body to hers and rolled them backwards, Alaska’s back against the sheets as Sharon settled on top of her.

“Hgn, I’m close, I’m so fucking close,” Alaska whined, sucking her middle finger’s tip before rubbing her throbbing clit, only to have Sharon grab her wrist and pin it against the bed. 

Sharon relentlessly thrusted into her as she buried her face against Alaska’s neck before kissing and sucking at her soft flesh, leaving a hickie in her wake.

Alaska cried out in pleasure, Sharon’s thrusts, her weight against her and her hot breath on her skin overwhelming her. Her eyes rolled back as she let desire drown her, gripping onto Sharon as her orgasm exploded from her core, rippling through her spread thighs and racing up her arched chest. 

“Take it, take it,” she heard Sharon breathe, who didn’t stop her pace as Alaska rode out her high.

Moments passed, and eventually Alaska gasped for air as her climax began to fade. Her limbs felt both weightless yet heavy, while a zap of pleasure still twitched through her body. Sharon slowly pulled out, and as soon as the dildo was gone Alaska clenched, already missing its presence. Subconsciously, she moved to massage her swollen folds, but Sharon was already a step ahead. She leaned down, her wet tongue feeling incredible against Alaska’s sensitive core. Sharon’s touches were slow, soft and gentle, a contrast to before, and Alaska felt warmth spread through her ragged body at the intimacy. She ran her fingers through Sharon’s silky hair, almost falling into the spell of sleep as she did so. Looking down, she saw Sharon touching herself leisurely where the strap on used to be.

“Come here, baby,” Alaska whispered, enjoying being the one to use their pet name. “Let me.”

Sharon looked up before crawling over Alaska’s body, planting a kiss on her lips before she settled her thighs on either side of Alaska’s face. She grabbed the headboard just like Alaska did before. 

“I’m so close already,” Sharon whispered, exhaustion seeping into her veins as she lowered herself down. She tilted her head back as Alaska’s tongue swirled around her pulsing bud, a whine escaping her lips as the younger girl slowly rocked Sharon against her.

Flattening her tongue, she rolled Sharon’s hips, the older woman’s slickness coating her chin as her tongue circled her entrance before dipping inside. Sharon whimpered at the pleasure, thrusting against Alaska as her orgasm built. Getting off before and watching Alaska unravel around the strap on was enough, so it wasn’t surprising when she began to shake, her thrusts becoming erratic as her climax approached. Alaska moaned around her clit before flicking her tongue through her swollen folds, knowing she was close and pushing her over the edge.

“Ah, fuck, fuck, right there—“ Sharon managed before her climax hit her, a surge of euphoria rushing through body as she came, her dishevelled blonde hair falling around her shoulders.

She panted as she crawled her way back down Alaska’s body before collapsing on top of her, making the younger girl giggle. Their lips met, a string of long, lazy kisses helping them drift off to sleep as their bodies tangled together in a jumble of naked limbs. Happiness hummed through their veins as they realised this was just the first day of their entire week together.

SEKAIICHI HATSUKOI ONODERA RITSU NO BAAI Chapter 27 Preliminary Translation (for the impatient)!!!

**MAJOR SPOILERS**

 If you’re like me, you see the new foreign language raws of Sekakoi and are dying to read them right away. For those people, I’ve drafted a preliminary translation of the long-awaited twenty-seventh chapter of The Case of Onodera Ritsu, which just came out on the 29th!!!  My translations are from Chinese, so I can’t vouch for how closely they follow the original Japanese text. As a die-hard fan of Sekakoi, I tried to translate Takano and Onodera as I understand (and LOVE!!) them as people. Just a note, though, my translations air on the liberal interpretation side and hope to refit the text to sound natural (or as natural as possible) in English, so if you’re looking for a word-for-word translation, you won’t find it here. Additionally, I know that there is a group who is officially scanlating SIH, and I do not mean to step on anyone’s toes or offend anyone. This is not a full scanlation in the slightest – it’s just for those who want a quick translation. I would be MORE THAN ECSTATIC AND EXTREMELY HONORED if the scanlation group covering SIH wants to work off of any of my translations, but please contact me if you do. :D

 Credits for the scans that I used to translate go to Tong Meng Hui同萌繪 （ cute and clever name by the way – my inner Chinese history geek heartily approves） scanlation group. The link to their scanlation is here, and I take ABSOLUTELY NO CREDIT for it: https://weibo.com/u/1582384823?is_hot=1#_rnd1514689495071.

Lastly, Shungiku Nakamura’s works belong to her, of course. Please buy the originals to support her work!! (By the way, there is a special thirteenth volume coming out in May with an extra booklet and some sort of marriage related special??!!).

 So!! Enjoy, and feel free to send suggestions. Any errors are mine alone!

*Edited  for a read-more function and some small errors. Sorry everyone and thank you for your patience.

 Ritsu: Eh? You’ve moved there?

Mutou Sensei: Oh, do you know the area?

Ritsu: Yes, that was the closest station to my high school! Mutou sensei: Ahhh... I see!

Ritsu: Ah yes, but that you have moved to Tokyo is really quite the surprise.

Mutou sensei: Ahaha. Because handing in the manuscripts on-time and securing assistants was never that convenient…. (I’d about reached my limits!) Ritsu: Ah.

 --

Page 5:

 Ritsu: Also, I know you must be very busy unpacking… but regarding the manuscript… Mutou sensei: It’s no problem at all. I’ve just finished it!

Ritsu: Really? Fantastic! Thank you for your hard work!!!  Ah, so could I come pick it up now?

Ok, great, thank you so much, you’ve been a great help. Ok, I will see you soon.

RItsu (thoughts): it has been so long since I’ve been to XX station….

Looking out the windows of the train on my way to school, every year there would always be cherry blossoms lining the tracks…

I would be secretly watching Sempai from behind on my way to school.

GAHH~!!!!! Stop thinking about that dark history!!!!!

 Takano: What the hell are you doing?

Ritsu: !?(startle!) Why are you here?

Takano: Um maybe because I work here…?

Here are the materials for the meeting. Remember to look them over before tomorrow.

Ritsu: Huh? Ah, okay!

Oh, I am headed over to Mutou Sensei’s house to pick up the manuscript.

Takano: Mutou sensei’s?

Ritsu: Yes, it seems she just moved to Tokyo yesterday.

Takano: No way.

 --

page 8

 Takano: Where does she live?

Ritsu: Um. Well …

At XX station on YY line.

Takano: XX station?

Ah!

That's –

[Don’t say it!!!]  stands up abruptly Ah, well, then I’m headed off.

Takano: Hang on. I’ll be heading out to meet with an author as well, so why don’t we go together?

Ritsu: Ah… but… um…

Takano: What?

Ritsu: It’s nothing.

Ritsu (thinking): If I seem too flustered, he’ll think that I care about it too much!!

 --

page 9:

 Takano: Achoo

Ritsu: Have you caught a cold? Takano: Well, it’s not at full cold status yet, just the first signs.

Ritsu: (Hmph!) Takano-san, it seems that someone hasn’t been taking care of themselves.

Takano: Ah… maybe.

So, why don’t you come over to my house today to take care of me. I’ll make dinner for you. (Aren’t you done for today after picking up the manuscript?)

Ritsu: Blush I’m not going!!

Takano: Oh, right. Here, take this.

 --

page 10

Ritsu: ?

Takano: It’s the key to my apartment.

Ritsu: Huh?

Takano: You can come over whenever you want. Also, as a thank you in return, give me the key to your apartment.

Ritsu: Wha?

Takano: Or why don’t we just move in together. Otherwise, you might die alone at your house and I might never know.

If we live together, the house would be super neat and there would always be hot food to eat, now doesn’t that sound nice?

Ritsu: Huh? Wait!!!

Takano:  And then I wouldn’t have to worry about your friend anymore.

 --

page 11:

 RItsu: Wha – what are you talking about?

Takano: Anyway, come over today.

Ritsu: No thank you – please allow me to decline!

Takano: Why? Ritsu: Well because judging by past experiences… (t/n this could also be “well because common sense tells me…”)

[Ah. The key to Takano-san’s apartment. I remember.]

Takano: What?

Ritsu: … it’s nothing.

Takano: If you have something to say, just say it.

Ritsu: I don’t…

Takano: Onodera.

Ritsu: …

…

Well, that is,

That key to your apartment.. wasn’t it… that was Yokozawa’s before, right?

 --

page 12:

 Ritsu: ...I just suddenly thought of it, that’s all!

An-anyway I’ve got somewhere to be, so I’m heading off. I’ll see you later.

Takano: Onodera.

I’ve already had him return that key to me.

Ritsu: Huh? It’s not as if -  I’m not –

Takano: I’m sorry.

--

page 13:

 Takano: I should have told you properly. I’m sorry.

I had already asked for the key that I gave to Yokozawa back. The key I just gave you is a new one.  

Ritsu: Huh? Ah! I already said that I’m not –

[No no – it can’t seem as if I care about this too much!!]

Ritsu: A-and anyways we rent our apartments, how could you give one to someone else? What will happen when you leave that place?

Takano: I talked it over with the building management before I made this one, so it’s not a problem.

Because, I wanted you to have it no matter what.

 --

page 14:

 Takano: So take it. clink

Ritsu: Wai-

Takano: Bye-bye. I’ll leave Mutou sensei to you then.

Ritsu: Takano-san!!!

Woman: Good work.

Takano: You too.

Ritsu’s thought:  ……Heyyyy…., even if you give me that thing…

 --

page 15:

 slam

Ritsu (thoughts): I’m returning it to him. This is me returning it to him!

Ugh god, what is that person thinking?!

Kisa: Ricchan, you haven’t left yet?

Ritsu: Hahaha, ah, no, I forgot something…

Ritsu (thoughts): Just because he gave me a key, he tells me to give him my key and to live with him. I totally cannot understand what he is thinking!

[but]

Ritsu’s thoughts:  this way…

[He took his key back (from Yokozawa)]

Nao: oh, hey! If it isn’t Ritsu!

Ritsu: Nao! You’re working at Marukawa today?

Nao: Yep. I’ve gotten another job here besides the photo collection book. And what are you up to?

Ritsu: I’m on my way to pick up a manuscript.

Nao: (?!) Oh? So you have to go door-to-door to pick up the manuscripts yourself?

Ritsu: No, not every time. This time the author had just happened to have recently moved here, so I thought I’d pay a visit.

Nao: Oh okay, is it nearby?

Ritsu: No, maybe 30-40 minutes by train. Seems to be near my old school – which caught me by surprise!

 --

Page 17:

 Nao: Huuuuh. Did you suggest that place to sensei?

Ritsu: No, it was just a coincidence!

Nao: Uh-huh…

Ritsu: Then, I’ll see you later!

Nao: I’ll go with you.

Ritsu: What?

Nao: Well, I was just getting ready to head back anyway.

Ritsu: Huh? Um… but I’m going for work…

Nao: It’s fine, it’s fine. I won’t go with you to the author’s house.

 --

page 18:

 Ritsu: Ummmm..but.. Nao: I just want to see what your old school was like! After I take a look, I’ll head back on my own – so there’s no issue, right?

Ritsu: That is….. Errrrr…. Um…

 --

Page 19:

 Announcement: XX station. XX station. Doors will open on your left.

page 20:

 Nao: Ritsu? The gate finally went up (Ah. Sure took its time.)

Ritsu: Oh right, sorry! Um, it’s this way! The school is about five minutes walking distance from here.

Nao: OK. Nao: Hey, is it that building right over there? Ritsu: Ah, yes.

RItsu (thoughts): The uniforms haven’t changed at all.

Nao: Wowww, pretty impressive school you have here!!

 --

page 21:

 [Ahhhh…. Right. Takano-san and I have definitely walked this path before…]

Startle

Ritsu (thoughts): It seems I’ve started thinking of a lot of different things….

(muddle muddle)

That sort of sordid history can’t be summed up with simple “nostalgia….”

Nao: Has it changed?

--

page 22:

 RItsu: Huh?

Nao: The school.

Ritsu: Oh, I’m not sure. From the outside, it looks like it hasn’t changed…

Nao: Well I’m sure they’ve renovated it since then.

Ritsu: Ah, that’s true…

Nao: …. Uh huh…. Ten years ago, you met Saga-sempai here huh….

Ritsu: What? (*heartbeat*) Ah, um…. Yeah.

Nao: Hmm….

--

page 23:

 Nao: I clearly don’t know anything about the Ritsu of that time, and yet that person does. It really doesn’t sit well with me.

Ritsu: Huh? What are you talking abou-

Nao: Ritsu.

I really do love you.

--

Page 24:

 Ritsu: …..

…. What?

Nao: At first it was just because I thought you were at risk and couldn’t stop worrying about you that I became your friend.

But after that, after spending each day with you, slowly but surely, I started to really understand you. And then, I fell in love with you.

Narration: [He did recently say, “I’m serious about this.” Could it be… that it was true?]

 --

Page 25:

Ritsu: B-but, in all the time I’ve known you, you’ve never…

Nao: Well, that’s obviously because I didn’t want to let you find out.

It was, after all, under those circumstances, and I also thought maybe I was confusing feelings of empathy with romantic interest.

But later I realized that it was, in fact, interest.

And you never mentioned anything about Saga-sempai again. I even breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that you had finally given him up.

Because I had seen how depressed you were then, I thought that any confession that I would make might cause you even more pain.

So, I just couldn't bring myself to do it.

 --

page 26:

 Nao: Rather than risk pushing you away with a confession, it would be better to continue to be friends… is what I thought. So I didn’t say anything.

… but… in the end, I couldn’t accept that.

After we parted I also had a lot of different experiences, but in the end, from then until now, it was always you that I loved

Ritsu: O-oh, is that so… I’m sorry. At the time, because I was so caught up in my own affairs, I never noticed.

Nao: Ahahaha. You really are thick-headed.

--

page 27:

 Nao: Are you still in love with Saga-sempai?

Ritsu: Huh?

Nao: Ritsu, don’t let yourself get hurt like you did last time.  

Ritsu: Hu-hurt? I was never-

Nao: So… it is just that you’ve been restrained by these feelings of “I liked him,” am I right?

--

page 28:

 Nao: I don’t want to see you like that ever again.

Ritsu: Nao… Nao.

Nao: Even if he has changed his name, he is still that same guy that hurt you!

Since he is your boss, I can’t ask you not to see him again, but to be honest, just seeing him by your side - it pisses me off.

 --

page 29:

Nao: I hope that you will take some time to think this over properly, so you don’t have to give me an answer right now.

But from now on I hope you can see me as a potential romantic partner.

Well, then, I’m heading off now. Bye bye!

Ritsu: Eh – Nao!

Nao: I’m satisfied by seeing the school; hurry up and pick up your manuscript!

Ah. Ritsu. I just want you to remember this.

 --

page 30:

 Nao: I definitely treasure you more. At least a lot more than any “Saga-sempai” or “Takano san” ever could.

 --

page 31:

 [… … … Nao.

He is serious about me. He truly is a good friend. When I had fallen so deeply into the pit of despair, he was always there to support me. It’s hard to even say just how much he helped me.]

Ritsu (thoughts): Because I had always seen him as a friend, I never even noticed… He said he didn’t need an answer right away, but I should have let him down right then.

Even if he says that he wants me to see him as a romantic partner, I still only see him as a friend.

[And what’s more…]

 Memory: Nao: So… it is just that you’ve been restrained by these feelings of “I liked him,” am I right?

 --

page 32:

 […. Could that be it?]

Ritsu (thoughts): No, that can’t be right. My past was always a dark patch of history devoid of any sort of happy memories.

And what’s even more, with the ten years intervening, it is hard to even glimpse a shadow of what it was like back then.

Yes, that’s it.

[Not only tyrannical, but also unyielding, his personality is the worst, and he is always doing all this inappropriate stuff to me].

……

[But.]

[He’s very capable when it comes to work, and every manga that he has a hand in creating is interesting. He does say things that are way over the line… but in the end, his advice is always on the mark.]

--

page 33:

 [When I succeed, he praises me, and he also has always believed in me… moreover, he says that he has never stopped loving me over these past ten years.]

….

I should really clear things up with Nao.

[I’m not being restrained by old feelings. And I’m not being controlled by them either. I really need to tell him that it is not like that at all.]

 --

page 34:

 Ritsu: Huh?

Hatori: Welcome back. That took a while, huh.

Ritsu: Ah, I’m sorry about that. When I picked up the manuscript, we also chatted about content for next chapter.

Takano-san isn’t back yet?

Hatori: He said that he was headed straight home after his meeting with the author.

Ritsu: Huh?!

Hatori: Did something happen?

Ritsu: Eh? Ah, no! I see, so that’s what he said.

Oh, well, then I’ll be headed off as well.

Hatori: Okay, good work today.

 --

page 35:

 [Anyway – his key! What should I do with it?!]

Ritsu (thoughts): Since he went straight home, that means that he has to have another key, right? Then, it’s a non-issue. I’ll just leave the key here and go straight home, right?!

But what if some sort of accident happens if I leave it here – that’s scary to think about.

We-well, but, why does it have to be me who worries about this kind of stuff?

phone rings

Ritsu: Hello?!!

Takano: I don’t have a key, so I can’t get into my house.

Ritsu: What?

Why?

Takano: Didn’t I just give my key to you?

--

page 36:

 Ritsu: Huh? But that’s a spare, right? Don’t you have another set?

Takano: I left them at home.

Ritsu: What?!

Takano: Aren’t you finished with work already anyways? Come back; I’ll make dinner for you.

Ritsu (thoughts): Okay, you DEFINITELY did that on purpose just because I didn’t agree to eat dinner with you. You KNEW your other key was at your house, and purposefully gave me your only key…

Takano: If you don’t come back, then I can’t make dinner, so get moving.

Ritsu: Please don’t be so difficult! Why couldn’t you have just not given me the key in the first place? Takano: ACHOO

 --

page 37:

 Takano: Achooo

Ritsu: Hey, wait a second, are you alright?  

Takano: sniff What?

Ritsu: You have a cold, don’t you?

Takano: I don’t.  

Achoo

Ritsu: Ahh, you do, though. Okay, okay, I get it, I get it.

[DAMNNIT!!] grabs

[Doing this sort of childish thing just to play around with people– it would clearly be best if I just let him deal with things by himself.]

Ritsu (thoughts): But, if his cold gets worse and he tries to pin this all on me, that’ll suck.

 --

page 38:

[I really want to tell him that he is just getting what he deserves. Are you an idiot?! What the heck is going on in the brain of yours? This isn’t for Takano-san at all. It’s only because I have a lot that I want to say that I’m running…. And bringing Takano-san’s key…]

 --

page 39:

 Ritsu panting from running

Ah ha ah hah

Ritsu: WHAA?

Takano: I’m starving. (It’s hot out.)

Ritsu: And I just ran all the way here from the station!!

Takano: You’re kidding.

Ritsu: I’m not! Because if you died in the doorway, I’d have nightmares. (You just figured that out now, didn’t you?!)

Takano: ….

Ah….

 --

page 40:

 Takano: Thanks. pat pat Sorry, but I’m super happy right now.

Ritsu: Please! Please don’t do such childish things!

Takano: All I did was give you my key.

Ritsu: So, I’m saying, this sort of thing –

Takano: Here. Drink this.

Ritsu (thoughts): Huh…? Isn’t this already half empty?  Which means…

Takano: Our relationship is past the point of being embarrassed over indirect kisses, no?

Ritsu: TAKANO-SAN!!!!! (blush blush blush!)

Takano: Alright, alright.

Were you able to collect the manuscript?

--

page 41:

 Ritsu: Ah, yes. Sensei also sends her regards.

Takano: Where’s her house near?

RItsu: Oh, remember the bus station in front of the school? It’s that apartment that you can see right after you turn onto the side-road.

Takano: … Ah. It’s sort of coming back to me.  Actually, I remember standing in front of the street-gate waiting for it to go up and getting pissed when it wouldn’t. (Ritsu – bdmp)

Is it still the same?

Ritsu: Eh, ah, yes. B-but I never thought I had to wait long there.

Takano: No way.

Ritsu: … Ah. B-but Nao also complained that it took forever.

 --

page 42:

 RItsu urk : Ah….

Takano: …

You. You went with Nao to pick up the manuscript?

Ritsu: … Um… about that… Please let me explain.

Takano: In the hallway?

Ritsu: Huh? Ah, ummm. Then I’ll just send you an email when I get home.

Takano: Didn’t I just tell you? I don’t have a key.

 --

Page 43:

 Takano: Open the door.

Ritsu: …

Takano: Go on.

Ritsu: Ta-takano-san. Um. Nao was at the company for work, and I just happened to run into him in the lobby.

 --

page 44:

Ritsu: I – after I said that Sensei’s house was close to my old school, he said he wanted to come see it. I turned him down, but in the end I wasn’t able to lose him.

Ah, but of course, I didn’t tell him Mutou Sensei’s address. We just walked together next to the school, and then split up.

Takano: What did you talk about?

Ritsu: Just some regular topics.

Takano: What do you mean by “regular?”

Ritsu: J-just. About school. About old times.  

Takano: And you were confessed to as well, weren’t you?

 --

page 45:

 Ritsu: startle

Takano: …. So what did you say.

Ritsu: Please don’t use such leading questions to interrogate me!

Takano: But if I didn’t do that, you wouldn’t say anything, no?

Ritsu: O-okay yes, he confessed, but I said before that I only see Nao as a friend, so I was surprised.

Takano: And how did you respond?

Ritsu: I- I didn’t. Because he said that I didn’t need to respond right away.

Takano: …

Ritsu: And!

--

page 46:

 Takano: And what?

Ritsu: ….

Ritsu: I’m heading back. Here is your key!!

Grab

Ritsu: Wha-

Takano: You still haven’t answered me.

Ritsu: Please let me go!

Push

Ritsu: Waa!!

Takano: So. After I find out that the person I like has been confessed to, you expect me to hold my composure?

--

page 47:

 Takano: Even when it was just that the guy knew things about those ten years of yours that I didn’t, I was pissed. Why did it have to be at this time, another moment in which I wasn’t there, that you were confessed to?

[E-even if you say that]

Takano: …

Even though I’ve resolved myself to waiting for you, I can still get worried.

So. How many more times do I have to hold you for you to finally belong to me?  (t/n also could be read as how many times do we have to sleep together for you to finally belong to me.)

Sniffle

Ritsu: Takano-san, you’re up early today.

Takano: I have a meeting first thing. (pain in the ass!)

But that means we can head to the office together.

clang clang

Takano: By the way, when I heard you talk about old school memories, I thought of something.

Ritsu: What?

Takano: On my way to school and on my way home from school, you were always following me, no?

 --

page 60:

 Ritsu: Wha-wha-wha- what are you saying? Hahahahahaha.

Takano: Ah, so it’s true.

Ritsu: Why would I do something like that? We went to the same school; of course we took the same route to and from school!

Takano: Well, whatever, it’s an indisputable fact that you were my stalker, though.

Ritsu: Th-that was your imagination. Takano-san, don’t you think that you’re flattering yourself?

Takano: Flattering myself shouldn’t be a problem though. Anyway, it is just around you that it happens.

 Ritsu: Huh?!!!

[We will soon be arriving at Fantian Bridge (t/n not sure what the Japanese is here) station.

[Every time I cross over those pink tracks…

Overtime, that street-gate became infamous, and everyone grew to hate it.

But, for me, that street-gate was always a place that I looked forward to.

Because it was there, day after day, that I could see the person I loved.

Kpop Bigger Tag!

Tagged by the lovely @monbebana  💕 thank you dear!!

1.) 5 favorite groups?

SHINee, CNBLUE, B.A.P, B1A4 and BOYFRIEND

2.) Top 5 on your bias list?

Key (SHINee), Kyuhyun (Super Junior), Daehyun (B.A.P), Sandeul(B1A4) and JR (NU'EST) [I did one member per group, or else they would all be SHINee]

3.) Ult Bias group and why you love them?

SHINee!! These boys have always brought me so much happiness through their music and by just being themselves. They were the first group that I really explored deeper discography-wise, and I fell in love with all of their music, they have never disappointed me. I love how they are not afraid to explore different music genres and yet still have that SHINee quality to them. Each album offers something new and exciting, and yet their older music stands up against time. Like I will honestly never get tired of listening to replay or love like oxygen. These boys work hard just like any other group, however I can really feel the heart they put into their work a bit more than others. And the fact that SHINee is a family devoted to each other, and that they are open and honest to shawols made me feel like SHINee world was a comforting and accepting place to be a part of. They have some of the nicest fans, and the boys themselves are some of the sweetest people I’ve ever seen. I love them so much and I cannot thank them enough for all the positivity they have given me.    

4.) Ult Bias and why you love them?

Key!! One of my SHINee boys <3. When I first learned the members of SHINee, I had the hardest time with choosing a bias let me tell you. Ultimately, Key stole my heart. He has such a unique sense of humor that I really appreciate, that is straight forward and honest. Not only that, but he is not afraid to express himself whether it be through his extra-ness or even his fashion. He really puts himself out there with a confidence I wish I had. Key also has a kind heart and is not afraid to express his emotions as well, he looks out for his members and he cares about others. Not to mention that he donates money to provide art supplies to school children every year so that they can have an outlet in which to express themselves creatively. His voice is also very unique and the fact that he can rap and also sing is amazing to me (I would love to hear a solo song by him). Lastly, his smile always warms my heart and I love seeing him be happy as well as the other members.

5.) Favorite Kpop Meme

This is so hard! There are so many good kpop memes!! These are ones I use often in my friend group chat:

6.) Favorite pic of your ult? (I dare you to only pick one)

My best friend makes amazing Snuper videos, including snuper crack vids, check it out at @snupersstar for some quality content!

Also, the Gucci slippers SHINee crack video and the one for Jonghyun's solo debut part are also prime. The one that has voiceover and is basically just a lip-reading but the humor is so dry it's hilarious.

10.) Favorite content creator within the fandom?

I'm not really sure who all are content creators, but shoutout to all you content creators blogs! Thank you for keeping us updated!

Shawols/SHINee world (SHINee), Baby (B.A.P), Swing (Snuper), Bana (B1A4), Monbebe (Monsta X), Tinkerbell (KNK) and Carat (Seventeen).

14.) If you could date any idol, who?

Um, obviously I'd date all Six of my boyfriends!

Hahaha, just kidding although I do love Boyfriend. I'd probs say Jihun from KNK so that he doesn't have to go to restaurants alone, because it was his one fear that they made him face on a TV show and let's be honest no one likes to be alone.

15.) What’s one Kpop album you think everyone should have listened to?

Sherlock/Everybody (SHINee), Noir/Carnival (B.A.P), Blueming (CNBLUE), Gravity Completed (KNK), A1 sauce (Seventeen), Meteor/Rain of mind (SNUPER), Janus/Witch (Boyfriend) and Rebirth (NU'EST).

Both, though more-so soft stan because I like to live thanks. (Although a sharply dressed person in a nice suit or even leather jackets are my weakness)

17.) An idol that makes you go into soft mode?

Sangho (my ultimate son), I honestly love soft Sangho 10/10 would recommend. Honorable mention: Minhyuk from (Monsta x).

22.) Things you have in common with your ult?

love for shoes/clothes, loves dogs, afraid of heights and loves ketchup/food in general.  

23.) The most beautiful trait any idol can have?

Humble & Respectful. <= Agreed (but also I have found a trend within my bias list, most of my biases are loud children of their respective group or they are the leader of their respective group.)

24.) Songs that will always make you jam along?

Baby Good Night, Baby I’m Sorry, Solo Day (B1A4) Platonic Love, Back Hug, It’s raining, Shall We Dance (Snuper), Stuck, Jealousy, Hero, Dramarama (Monsta X), BANG BANG BANG   (BIGBANG), Hello, Hello (B.I.G), Lucifer, Ring Ding Dong, Sherlock, Everybody, Like a fire, Perfect 10, Stranger (SHINee), U, Knock (KNK), Plz don’t be sad, Could be better (Hig5lig5t), Runaway, Gorilla, Shine (Pentagon), Crazy, Hate (4MINUTE), Gashini (Sunmi), Something (Girl's day), Electric Shock (f(x)). Clap, Trauma, Change up, Lilliabbay, Don't wanna cry, Crazy in love (Seventeen). Honestly I could keep going! 

25.) Your worst wrecker?

Jonghyun will always be my ult. bias wrecker. However, Mr.Sadman (Hyungwon) will also forever be a bias wrecker. Donghyun from Boyfriend also completely biased wrecked me into becoming my second bias in Boyfriend.

26.) Any kpop concerts you’ve been to?

B1A4 four nights (NYC 2017), B.A.P Party Baby (NYC 2017), SHINee World V (Dallas 2017) and KCON (Newark 2017).

This year I have tickets to go to KCON (Newark) and Monsta x: The Connect (Newark)!!

27.) Favorite choreo?

Definitely It's Raining by Snuper has to be up there, due to the footwork alone. Also U by KNK because it kills me everytime (Jihun is in his element and out to kill). And pretty much all of SHINee's choreography (though Lucifer and everybody choreo is legendary). Also I love the collab song between NU'EST W and Seventeen, Heaven, it's choreography is ridiculous and amazing. Also, Lilliabbay by Seventeen's performance unit is a work of art. Plus Pentagon's funny choreography for Shine gives me life.

28.) Favorite live performance?

SHINee: Almost any Tokyo dome performance, Odd eye live (the one with key's eye patch), Symptoms live, Selene 6.23 live and honestly tell me what to do live with all the members wearing chokers. Also taemin's sayonara hitori hit the stage with koharu.

KNK: Angel heart live, Rain (the live perf. with the cool laser lights as the rain)

SNUPER: Platonic love in the 80s outfits live, You=Heaven perf. with the sailor uniforms (Sangho is so soft), Almost every it's raining performance, every Tulips live too

B.A.P: That single One Shot performance where Daehyun goes insane during his high notes

VIXX: Havana performance, nuff said.

NU'EST W+Seventeen: Heaven (their dance practice is really good too), also I'm a sucker for crazy in love performances.

29.) Favorite debut mv?

SHINee (Replay), B.A.P (Warrior), NU’EST (Face), EXO (Mama), Knock (KNK) and Snuper (Shall we Dance).

Painting A Memory

Hello everyone~ today’s story was an ask by a lovely anon, who wanted to see a Luca x Amelia fic. I’m sorry that it took a little while to upload, but I do hope you enjoy it anon! 

Amelia has been waiting for the day when she and Luca could spend some time together on their first date. However when thing leads to another, she begins to wonder if it’ll ever come to pass.

The early morning rays of sunlight mixed with the ringing of an alarm clock, was more than enough to wake Amelia up from her peaceful slumber. Her eyes were still heavy as she began blinking a few times, while attempting to get up from the cozy embrace of bed.

Of course, after a few failed attempts, Amelia had finally found the strength to throw the covers off her body, exposing her skin to the chilly air in the room, while she pushed herself up. Sitting on the edge of her bed, she reached over and hit the alarm clock off, before rubbing at her eyes softly.

Looking right ahead, she saw that her roommate, Nadia, was still fast asleep and in her own little dream world. Giving a soft giggle, Amelia got up off of the bed completely and went over to the dresser, picking out her uniform so that she could start the day.

Quickly showering and then putting on her uniform, Amelia looked in the mirror as she was now applying some of her favorite pink lip gloss, that was given to her by her boyfriend, Luca. The lip gloss also came with matching perfume and body wash set, which included bubble bath.

Amelia had eyed the collection the last time the academy held a field day, and as it turns out, Luca had kept tabs on quite a few things that she had wanted to get, but couldn't at the time. Having applied the lip gloss, she took a look in the mirror, the color was soft and simple, but gave her lips a certain pop which she absolutely loved and couldn't get enough of, plus as an added bonus, it smelled like strawberries.

After having gotten everything ready, she headed out of the bathroom, where her roommate was still in bed, her soft snores could be hear from under the covers as she slept. Putting her hands on her hips, Amelia shook her head softly while smiling and proceeded to walk over to the bed where Nadia still slept.

"Rise and shine Nadia, you'll be late to class if you don't hurry up and get ready." while speaking, Amelia had begun rocking Nadia's shoulders a little, hoping to get some sort of response out of her. Of course, she had gotten her answer moments later, when Nadia groaned softly and kicked the blankets off of herself.

"Is it Saturday yet?"

"No, it's Monday, why do you ask?"

"Because I am sooo ready for the weekend."

"Ohhh, right, you mean the days where all you do is sleep, eat and sleep again?"

"Hey! I do more than just sleep and eat!" "That's right, you go and read sometimes too!"

"Amelia!"

Grabbing the nearby pillow, Nadia threw it at Amelia, hitting her right in the face, this in turn caused Amelia to grab her own pillow and start whacking Nadia. The two of them had started a pillow fight which had ended with a few feathers flying through the air and a fit full of giggles. Most of their mornings started out like this, waking each other up and then somehow leaving their room laughing. The two of them had left their dorm and were now making their way towards the dining hall, for once in a great while the two of them were up early enough to grab something to eat. Normally, Amelia would wake quite early and would have an abundance of time before needing to head to class, time, which could be used to grab a quick bite in the morning. However, she refused to leave Nadia alone and eat without her.

At other times, when Amelia knew that the two of them would wouldn't be able to make it to the hall, she'd slip out of their dorm room and hurriedly grab a few breakfast items for the both of them, while Nadia was still getting ready. She always loved Nadia's face when she reached into her bag and noticed an orange or even a muffin, plus a small juice box, her eyes would widen in surprise and would always ask how on earth those things got in there.

It was a mystery that Amelia had loved to keep, just so she could see her roommate's reactions. Perhaps she would tell her someday that it was her all along, or maybe...she wouldn't. Once they made it to the dining hall, Amelia began eyeing one of the newest breakfast items.

"Oh my gosh! Nadia, look! They have doughnuts!"

"No way, are you serious?!"

With eyes shimmering like those of a kid in a candy store, the two of them each picked out a doughnut. Amelia had picked out a custard one with pink frosting and a vibrant array of sprinkles on top. Nadia on the other had, had opted for a chocolate filled doughnut with chocolate icing and mint sprinkles on top.

"These look absolutely delicious!"

"I know right? I wonder if I should get another one?"

"Huh? Why?"

"Well, if we got doughnuts, than that means the boy dorm got doughnuts too, right?"

"Hmm, I would assume they did as well."

"Well, I wonder if there's any left for Klaus and the others, since Randy is there." At Nadia's comment, the both of them broke out into another fit of laughter. 

"Na...Nadia, can you imagine..pfft..Ra-Randy coming and his cloak filled to the brim with them?" trying to catch her breath from laughing Amelia, looked at her best friend, only to see and hear her wheezing with laughter.

"O-or he stuffs his mouth with them, to the point where he looks like Ronny with his acorns!"

"pfft!"

"Hahahaha!"

Their efforts in trying to stop their laughter proved to be very futile, as they may their way down the line, the two of them had each grabbed a water bottle, Amelia grabbed an extra one, and stuffed in her bag. Looking at the large grandfather clock on the right corner of the room, she took note that they had a good fifteen minutes before they would need to leave for class.

Not many people were in the dining hall when they took their seats, which was good. Only the soft chatter among the handful of other girls could be heard within the dining hall, which hadn't included Nadia or Amelia, as they had, for a majority of the time, sat and ate their doughnuts in silence. Only the occasional hums of delight could be heard from the two of them as they had happily enjoyed their now new favorite breakfast item.

"I swear, this has got to be our new Monday routine!"

"What do you mean?"

"I mean waking up and coming down to get some doughnuts for breakfast, I swear, these doughnuts are bringing happiness to the Monday blues!"

"Pfft, but Nadia, I thought that was Klaus' job" Amelia watched in delight as her teasing had resulted in a big bright blush forming on Nadia's cheeks. "Amelia! Stooop!"

"Hahaha! Never!" grabbing her bag, Amelia quickly got up and started running towards the door, making her way outside, she heard a shout from behind her and looked back to see Nadia chasing after her with a smile on her face. However, their fun stopped after Nadia had ran directly into Klaus, almost knocking him over.

Klaus had immediately shouted at her which had made her jump a little at surprise of his booming voice. He then helped her get up off the ground and told her she was going to be excused for a part of the class.Amelia already knew that Nadia was in for one heck of a lecture, especially when she saw her best friend let out a sigh and slump her shoulders before being dragged off by the mighty emperor, leaving Amelia all alone.

This time it was her turn to sigh, she didn't really have anyone to walk to class too, Guy usually showed up right before the bell rang, but most of the time he ended up being late, which resulted in supplementary classes in his case and that was one risk, that Amelia wasn't willing to take. She wished her boyfriend would go to class more often, she would love to walk with him, she could already imagine his cheeky smile and the warmth of his hand in hers.

"Y'know, that face your making doesn't suit you, all sad looking and such."

"L-Luca?! W-when did you get here?"

"The moment you started making that face, did something happen?"

"W-wha? No, everything is fine! I was just thinking about stuff."

"Oh, you mean like holding my hand, by chance?" with a cunning grin, Luca had taken hold of Amelia's hand and gave it a soft squeeze.

"Listen Luca, I can't skip class with you."

"Skip? I'm actually going to class today. Did you really think I was going to skip? Ouch, that hurts y'know."

"You always skip, so it's hard to tell when you'll actually go to class and when you won't. But I have to ask, what's the occasion for you wanting to go to class?"

"I wanted to spend lunch with you today, it seems like it'll be a beautiful day to have lunch with another, right?"

Her heart fluttered at his statement, she and Luca never really had a chance to spend time together, let alone spend lunch together! Most of the time they would write magic notes back and forth or use the magic phone to keep in touch when they weren't able to see each other face to face.

"I would absolutely love to have Lunch with you!"

"Good to hear, in fact, so good, that I asked one of the housemother's to help me prepare our own little lunch."

"Wait...you can cook?"

"I can when I want to."

"I didn't know that!"

"Wow, then there's a lot you have to learn about me, I guess we can talk about those things at lunch today, yeah?"

"Absolutely! Oh I can hardly wait!"

"Hahaha, now there's that smile I love so much." leaning, down, Luca pressed his lips against Amelia's, not caring one bit about the display of their affection in an open, public place.

The two of them now walked towards their classes, hand in hand, while talking the entire way. They had walked slowly for a good amount of time, talking and just wanting to be with one another, however, they knew that if they continued at this pace, then they would both be late for their classes. Luca could care less about being late or not, but Amelia on the other hand couldn't afford to be late. 

They hastily made their way inside of the building and up the stairs, where they had to part ways.

Amelia was hesitant to let go of his hand at first, but she knew that she'd see him again in a few hours. That thought alone had brought a smile to her face and  her mind now had thoughts of how the rest of the day would play out. She wished the thoughts could have gone on, but the moment that professor Schuyler stepped into the room, her thoughts and happiness for the day were beginning to crumble.

Even though today's classes were one of her favorite's, she knew that it would become a struggle because of Schuyler. It used to not be that way, but for some odd reason, ever since the day she and Luca started dating, was the day that Schuyler had began to get more strict with her. She never understoood why, maybe he didn't want to see the two of them together? It just never made sense. Class seemed to drag on for an eternity, thankfully it was almost over and soon she would be free to go to lunch, which had been plaguing her mind during a majority of the class time anyways. She let out a soft sigh before smiling at the thoughts that were once again running her mind. Just then, Schuyler's voice rang out in the class.

"Miss Nile!"

Jumping in her seat a little, Amelia quickly mad eye contact with Schuyler, which was a terrible idea by the way. "Y-yes professor?"

"I can imagine your roommate being clueless in class, but you? Seems to me that you'll be spending lunch and a few hours after class in supplementary classes."

"B-but..!"

"No 'buts' miss Nile."

Slumping down in her seat, Amelia so badly wanted to scream out in frustration. I really blew it...now I won't be able to see Luca for lunch. The remainder of class was like hell for her, she was continuously called on to answer questions and when she missed one, she'd hear a tsk come from Schuyler and the occasional snarky comment or two.

"Class is dismissed, remember that at the end of the week, there will be a quiz, so studying for it would be a wise decision on all of your parts." Schuyler had left the class after dismissing the class and Amelia let out a loud groan before slamming her fist on the desk.

"Amelia..?"

"H-huh? Oh..Guy, it's you. Hello."

Taking a seat on the chair next to Amelia, Guy gave a sympathetic look. 

"So...supplementary classes, huh?"

Giving another groan, she turned to face him "Guy, you're a good friend and all, but if this is teasing, then please stop. I've ruined my chances to spend time with Luca, I never even get to see him half the time. being in different classes, him skipping classes and now Schuyler has been cracking down on me so hard lately."

As she spilled her worries to her friend, Guy gently began patting her on her back "I wasn't teasing, just so you know. I think me and the rest of the class can see how different class has been for you. But hey, supplementary classes won't be so bad, I'll be there!"

"Is that supposed to make me feel better?"

"Yes, it should!"

Amelia's shoulders started shaking and Guy immediately bgan to freak out, wondering what was going on. "Amelia? Are you alright, are you--" Just as guy was about to finish his sentence, he could hear Amelia trying to hold back her laughter, a few laughs had escaped though, despite her best efforts to conceal them. This in turn caused Guy to start laughing as well. The two of them had picked up their bags and were making their way to supplementary lunch classes, on their way, Amelia had spotted Nadia talking with Klaus,

"Nadia!"

"Huh..? Oh! Amelia!" Nadia quickly turned around with a bright smile on her 

face. "On your way to Lunch with Luca?"

"I...no, I actually need you to send a message to Luca."

"Oh, sure. But..why aren't you going to lunch with him? Did something happen between the two of you..?"

"Oh no, nothing like that! See...I..well"

"She got supplementary classes." Guy chimed into the conversation, which was followed by Amelia giving a slap on his arm.

"Oh my gosh, are you serious? What on earth happened in class to make you get that?!"

"I'll tell you later, when we go back to the dorms, but for now could you please tell Luca that I'm sorry, but I can't make it to the lunch date we had planned?"

"Of course., I'll go do that right now."

Nadia waved off Amelia and Guys, while she ran off to go give Luca the message, leaving Klaus to stand there shaking his head and sigh before he too, departed from the area. Guy and Amelia left the area too and made their way to the classroom halfway down the hall, where an empty classroom welcomed them.

"I'm guessing there's not many people that come into supplementary lunch classes?"

"Supplementary classes in general, actually. Sometimes Nadia is in here, but only on a few occasions, but most of the time it's just me."

"Really? then what on earth do you do with your time here?"

"Usually I read, mess up spells, and on the rare occasion, I'll sleep."

The two of them took their seats and had used the time to study, Guy would occasionally crack a joke here and there to help liven the mood, which greatly helped make the time pass by. Lunch passed by rather quickly and soon the two of them had left to go to their remaining classes, which were going to be taught by Merkulova, thankfully.

With Schuyler out of sight, Amelia was able to feel a little more at ease with her classes, which in turn made it easier for her to focus and answer each question and cast each spell, flawlessly. The moment that classes were over for the day, Amelia took her time grabbing her things and was abut to leave, but was stopped by Merkulova's announcement.

"Due to a recent prank spell, Schuyler is unable to attend supplementary classes, so those of you who were meant to go today, will have to wait till tomorrow to go. That is all."

Amelia's heart skipped a beat at the announcement, now she'd be able to see Luca and ask to have a date with him now! Well...assuming she could catch him before it was too late. Hastily grabbing her things, she bolted out of the classroom and made her way to the class he should be in. Upon arriving though, she couldn't find him anywhere, she went to the archives, the library and even the courtyard but there was still no sign of him.

Amelia was about to give up hope, but as she continued to walk around, she caught glimpse of a figure up ahead by the lake, their green was being swept backwards in the breeze. She knew right away who it was and quickly made her way over to the figure.

"Luca..! So this where you've been?"

Turning to face her, he smiled "Yeah, I skipped the rest of my classes to come out here and relax."

"I see...oh?" just then, Amelia noticed the easel in front of him, along with an art pallet, with an array of different colors. "You paint as well?"

"In my free time, it's one of the things I take pride in doing."

"Oh? That's actually really cool. What are the things that you usually draw and paint?"

"Basically anything, you see, the world is basically a painting already, so many colors and details. I use that and make a smaller portrait of it, but in my own view, if that makes any sense?"

"It makes sense. You're basically just taking the things you see in this 'natural portrait' and putting them on a canvas?"

"Pretty much. Hey you know what?'

"What?"

"Why don't you go sit on that log over there, the one in front of the spring, surrounded by the bed of flowers."

"Huh? Why?"

"I want to make your image immortal. I want to paint your portrait and capture your beauty."

The moment Luca finished his sentence, Amelia's heart was beating hard against her chest. Her cheeks were a bright red and try as she may, no words came out of her mouth. All she could do was gently shake her head and slowly move over to the log, where she gently sat down.

"Grab one of those flowers, the daisy. I want you to hold it with both of your hands and kind of hold it to your chest alright? There, right there, perfect!"

After doing as she was told, she tried to stay as still as possible while Luca began scribbling away on the easel. Looking up at her from time to time, he'd always flash a smile, before calling her beautiful, which only caused her cheeks to grow hotter and hotter each time. Amelia began to think that this is what he wanted, to make her all flustered and absolute blushing fool.

Minutes passed by and as it did, she began to squirm a little as the seating was becoming a bit more uncomfortable with each passing moment. "I promise, i'm almost done, just give me a few more minutes." Luca had flashed a grin in her direction and Amelia nodded in response while trying make herself comfortable once again.

About ten minutes had passed and Luca had finally finished, he then motioned for her to come over and take a look. The moment she saw the painting, her heart skipped a beat and she could feel a few tears, threaten to spill down her cheeks. The painting itself was simple, yet elegant and the warm colors made the picture stand out even more. Suddenly, Luca took the painting off the easel and held it out to her.

"This is my gift to you, a gift to commemorate our first date."

"First date.." a soft smile was now upon her face as she spoke those two words. She was about to say more, but a loud rumble in the distance stopped her right in her tracks. "w-what was that..?"

"Looks like a storm is rolling in."

"A storm?! But the headmaster controls the weather, it's always so sunny and warm, why on earth would he make it rain?"

"I guess the old man finally wanted some variety in his life. We should hurry up and go before the rain comes."

"Right...do you think we'll be able to make it the dorms on time?"

"The dorms? We'll go to the greenhouse and take shelter."

Luca quickly gathered up his easel and art pallet in one hand, while his other hand took hold of Amelia's, before running off in the direction of the greenhouse. Amelia wanted to make the complaint of running so fast, as she wasn't able to keep up, however, she grinned and bared it, because she knew that if they stopped or took it slow, then she risked getting the portrait ruined by the rain. 

The rain had begun, the moment they had reached the greenhouse, they quickly hurried inside before getting completely soaked.

"I can't believe it's storming...I was wanting to spend more time with you.."

"Then why don't you? Come on, follow me."

Walking forward a little bit, Luca pushed back a few branches, revealing a blanket laid out with a picnic basket, candles and two wine glasses. putting down his easel on the ground he made his way over and sat down, before motioning Amelia to take a seat right next to him.

"How...when did you?"

"I had a while to plan this since you couldn't make it to our lunch."

"yeah..I'm so sorry about that..."

"Don't be, we're here now aren't we? So let us enjoy this time we have."

Amelia gently placed the painting down by Luca's art easel,and went over to take a seat by Luca, who was now reaching into the picnic basket. Amelia watched as he began taking out a few sandwiches, chocolate covered strawberries,and a bottle of white grape wine, which was then elegantly poured into each of the glasses.

Amelia took hold of the glass and looked at the bubbling contents, it gave off a strong grape smell, and the taste was just as strong. She was about to spit it out, but decided that if she did, it would look rude, considering all the time and effort Luca had put into this. Eventually, after having a few more sips, the taste was becoming easier to handle, in fact, she quite like the taste of it. She then took a bite of the cucumber sandwiches that Luca had made, a hum of delight escaped her mouth as she continues to chew.

"Is my cooking that good?"

"Well, it's a sandwich, it's kind of hard to mess up a sandwich."

"Ouch, that hurt." Luca's smirk caused Amelia's cheeks to burn a bright red.

"Still, these have to be one of the best sandwiches, that I've had in quite a while."

"We still have dessert to eat y'know."

"Oh! Right!" Amelia's eyes darted to the little bowl of chocolate covered strawberries, oh how they were so tempting. Finishing the rest of her sandwich, her eyes were still eyeing the strawberries and just when she was about to grab one, Luca stopped her.

"ah-ah, nope."

"Huh? But why not!"

"Because I said so."

Luca's hand then reached out towards the bowl and grabbed on of the strawberries, and leaned over before danngling it over Amelia's mouth "open up."

"W-wh-what?"

"Come on, let a gentleman feed his girl."

Amelia was hesitant, but she soon complied and and opened up her mouth, the moment the strawberry touched her tongue, she hummed in sweet delight. The two of them were feeding one another the chocolate covered strawberries until there were no more. Afterwards, they drank the remaining contents in their glasses before lying down on their backs on the blanket. Their eyes made contact with the top of the see-through dome, flashes of lightning appeared here and there and each time the thunder roared, Amelia scooted over closer to Luca.

"'I'm guessing you don't like storms?"

"N-no, especially when I was younger."

"Don't worry, I won't let the mean storm hurt or scare my girl."

"Luca..." Amelia turned to face him and just like magnets, their faces came closer to one another's before their lips locked into a passionate kiss. Luca pulled away and gave a smile and pulled her into a closer embrace. "today has been wonderful."

"Y-yeah, it really has, despite all the things that happened earlier."

"You know what?"

"What..?"

"We should do this more often."

"You mean...go on dates?"

"Of course, it means I get you all to myself." gently stroking Amelia's cheek, Luca gave another smile, which made Amelia's heart pound hard against her chest.

"I'd love to."

The two of them shared a few more soft kisses, before watching some of species of birds and butterflies that resided in the greenhouse. They also spent a good chunk of time talking about plans for their next date, before falling asleep in each other's embrace, while listening to the rains gentle and soothing pitter patter against the dome.

This is the strangest and most 隨便 and least emotional ranking reveal ever

What is xikan's weird pink streaked hair

You know it makes no sense for xzx to make it in when cxh is #23 and they're literally the same person except for his connection to gjm... CMON CXH TOTALLY KNOWS ITS RIGGED LOOK AT HIS FACE

so did akey only make it in bc 20boy or did youku add him into top 14 just so it wouldnt look weird for xzx to be the only unexpected one

Wait did we get to see them eat hotpot together or am I forgetting something

Aw all of zlj's group came together except zhan yu bc tyger lol

Ofcourse ycw could get emotional lol

That was a weird transition straight into a shot of douzi lol

Also can we talk about how awkward zry and xzx are on stage LOLLL actually when I think about it, in comparison, ycw being as comfortable as he is on stage is pretty impressive.

Also gz's voice sounds nice! But also theres some weird audio stuff going on with the live and recorded voices not lining up LOL awkward.

Im just watching this perf being like why this song.....

LOL SBR'S MILK TEA SHOP

wait so people who didnt make it in ep 1 just dont exist to this show LOL rip

LOL LI HAOS FACE when syh is talking hahahahhhahahahahha

Lol this second group just standing on stage all bored of waiting lol

Omg lin mos voice

Wat just happened to him lol

Ooof lin rans voice is so fitting ahhhh

So why are they still singing covers during the finale lol

Lol why am I so amused that lin mos interaction with the girl was basically no interaction LOL

Lol feels like they're not singing live

Lin mo has lost a lot of weight

PLEASE LET LIN RAN CENTER PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE HE NEEEEEEDS THISSSSSS

Please please please please please omg this can be it, this can be a lyj moment!!!

LOL WHY DO THEY GET MULTIPLE VOTES lol wasting everyone's time making things over dramatic

I'm sorry I love ycw but lin ran neeeeeeeds this

OMGOMGOGMGOMGMGNGMG YESSSSSSSSSS LIN RAN CENTERRRRRR

Lol they look out of sync and they don't seem to be singing live either?

Man this isnt as satisfying as I thought itd be bc the center doesnt stand out very much?? He doesnt even get a particularly nice outfit.... the camera is also not particularly focusing on him....

This song is okay but why is xzx suddenly a vocal

看我的手段!!!!!!! Tyger!!!!!

Tbh this perf looks messy and the outfits and staging are so mediocre??? This is so far from what I imagined a finale stage to look like.

The top 14 is missing a strong vocal like ZHAN YU lol... even renyu when dancing doesnt sound particularly strong :/

Lol ylq and cyc sitting together lol

Ay Jin fan and zhan yu!!!!!

Gz and zlj are both really good dancers and maybe I'm just biased but I feel like the other group did better, just had more strength? Their friendship is cute tho hahaha

Omg hwx and lm imitating them IM DED

I'm not super perturbed who gets center bc I dont think itll really matter for these kids, they're ranked so safe. But hoping itll be xikan just bc I love xikan :')

Xikan and zuo ye repping IP ayyyy

AY XIKAN but c'mon if it wasnt, it wouldn't make much sense. plus youku owes him LOL

Xse rap a bit messy

But this song and stage is so much more high quality designed than lin ran's smh

Lol did zlj just say "booty" wat

Lol did lin mo mess up

Im just so happy they actually LOOK good, and even tho the prerecorded is so overbearing at least lin mos voice sounds nice on it LOL

When zlj is in a group of strong performers like this, you really notice how much he gets buried...

LUO ZHENGGGGGGG OMGGGG HE LOOKS SO MATURE WTFFFFF I'm so happy he came, what real friendship :')

Lol ycw's mom would be here lol

Awwww luo jie.....

Aww dxy and lxk first meeting and cyc and ycw wow such warm beginnings

Aw Jin fan and sbh friendshipp

LOL LI HAO RIPPING THE CAMERA OFF THE WALL

Ylq crying like a ycw lol

Ayy I hear lin mo cheers :')

Lol they added shoulder pads to their uniforms, is this ytzm style lol

I would not be surprised if star master paid for 2 tygers to make it into the top 14 lol

aw akey's crying.... I'm happy for him, doing so much better this time around. He deserves to have more recognition for all he does

Lol ycw isnt crying??? Loljk and even cyc aw

LIN RANNNNN aw hes crying too... and xue en

Aw gz reminding us that hes really just a smol child inside.

Lin mo's been through all of this before so hes trying really hard to be strong. Ofcourse youku is suppressing his votes to put him at the edge to add drama ugh this is the type of thing that would happen to lin mo.... literally he deserves to be so safe pls

Hwx also just a child inside aw

lol I'm sorry this is supposed to be so emotiona but hwx's foundation is such a weird shade lol actually zuo ye's is too LOL

I'm grateful for the extra xue en footage? Lol seems random but hes so handsome darn

Omg is xikan teaching a bunch of moms how to dance eiei

I love tygers

Omg LI HAO THIS VCR ENDING IS TOP QUALITY HAHAHHHAA

Singapore broooooos

Ofcourse li hao yet again delivering us the eng subs lol

Oh gosh seeing lin mo sing this type of song with this look of sadness reminds me too strongly of the qcyn finale. Oh gosh the hair, the gaze, it's such a punch to the gut

Wow these kids look so uninvested LOOOOLLL but also I'm surprised they let all them back on stage for this and not the theme song?

Oscar comforting a distraught lin ran omg can we pls talk about this

Hm how did they do this part distribution lol

Literally youku keeps using junrong for his voice but gives him no recognition ugh

The crowd cheering for xikan yus

Oh I notice enyu's hair is styled like a wave oo

Why is Jin Fan's hair such a strange color

Lol ycw would be completely ruined

Aw lin mo's little smile at the end of his words

Youku is really bent on making this the longest finale ever lol...... another song???? With everyone??? Uhhh and obviously some people's mics aren't on??? I'm so confused what is happening why cant I hear some of their voices lol

LOL LI HAO RUNNING INYO ENYU HAHAHA

This is really dragging things out lol I'm just doing work while watching bc no ones got time for this much unnecessary build up..... good thing all my meetings are in the afternoon today lol

At least they kinda highlighted xikan more in that last montage... finally

Ugh why did renyu get 6th. I think it means it's over for lin ran. You know I'm not surprised but also I still cant believe youku did this. What a disaster.... I knew I'd be disappointed by these results :( im literally shaking my head.

the rest is gonna be lxk zlj hwx zy lm gz in whatever order youku wants. Well it's over. Thanks for the quick ending to the suspense youku lol

They even had the audacity to put zry 6th.....not even 7th..... is this an insult? Theres no way. It's like they want to make it seem like he was safely at the top but theres no way.

Well I knew not to get my hopes up, gotta be ready for disappointment lol.... lm hasn't been announced yet at #3..... lol is this what star master had to pay to get akey in top 14? Pulling lin mo down. Well I feel like this is gonna be a damper on his career bc the media wont care how high you ranked before, but only where you rank at the end. And the ranking becomes how the media defines you.

How tf would lin mo go from 3rd to 7th wtf. Theres no way. He literally has one of the largest fan bases lol this makes zero sense. Way to play with someone's career for the sake of your dumb drama youku

Why is stanning lin mo always like this...... ugh he always gets stepped on and mistreated

I'm sure hes disappointed, hes supposed to be higher and everyone knows. Theres a reason the fans were demanding 高位, not just debut

Also rip lin ran sigh I'm so sad for lin ran too.... what will lin ran do now... he was so close this time :( is he gonna have to do this again?

and the kid has been so distraught for the better half of this 4 hour show.... you can tell how much this really means to him and how desperate he is and how empty and completely ruined he’ll feel when he realizes hes lost. tbh i dont think renyu would’ve felt that destroyed. but youku is here to destroy lin ran. 

I knew youku would disappoint me

THANK YOU AT LEAST XIKAN IS CENTER. If anything, he shouldn't be so emotional bc he shouldn't have needed to be so worried. He so safely has the largest fanbase, but youku just didnt make it easy for him. The main reason why he has doubt in himself is because of youku, and it's sad bc he deserve to feel safe, he shouldn't have to feel so insecure.

Me still smh to see renyu on the other side and lin ran stuck in the back.

Lol the right side of the debut group (the public's picks) vs the left side (youku's picks)....

Lol SKY could be worse

Lol feels like youku just being like let's pick a random english word

Okay but really, I just really want to know what lin ran will do next

I have zero hopes youku will actually manage this group well. Let's look at new storm or blackace lol

Like we all knew this lineup would happen but it doesnt make me any less sad or disappointed

Welp at least it's over now. Time to continue doing my work lol

renyu makes nice songs

but that doesnt mean he fits in a boy band better than lin ran 

i dont think ill ever get over this

Rocky Return

Milo embraced Adrien "Remember kid, we're familia and that means we watch out for each other" he grabbed Adrien's shoulders "Now go do your thing, your shift don't start till 21:00".

"You got it boss, er...Uncle" Adrien wiped his face and turned to leave "I'll be back by 21:30, then we talk about what comes next he said over his shoulder on the way out, Milo nodded. Transforming into Chat Noir he left for the police station to begin his day as he had for the past week, it was becoming instinctual at this point. Willy was surprised at how quickly Chat had returned and admittedly curious.

"Well that was a quicky, what'd you do" Willy asked as Chat unlocked and opened the door.

"Got a job yesterday and I was getting my schedule" Chat explained "Don't gotta be in till 21:00 though so we're still stuck with each other".

"Hahaha you make that sound like it's a bad thing, Alley Cat" Willy joked.

Chat put a hand on his chest looking dramatically shocked "Sheriff, I would never" they laughed at their own absurdity. They waved to the receptionist on the way out and began their usual casual stroll around Paris, stopping at every park along the way. When they had reached the last park on their route Chat sat down pulling out the incense and wax paper "You wanna help me roll?" he asked looking at Willy.

"Sure, we're at the end of our route anyway" Willy replied shrugging and taking a seat next to Chat who handed him a handful of wax sheets and incense. He watched Chat make a few before attempting it himself, he was amazed at how efficiently his cat themed companion rolled. "You said this was an old trick of yours right?" Willy asked as he started to roll his own.

"Mhm" Chat replied sealing two "Haven't needed to do it in a few years though" he elaborated continuing his work.

"Dare I ask why?" Will asked hesitantly before sealing his first.

"Stops nightmares and the like" Chat said dryly, Willy knew that was the best he was going to get from Chat so he stopped asking questions and continued rolling in. The two of them rolled until they ran out of incense and paper, together the two of them had rolled enough to last quite a while.

"I reckon that many will get you through a month" Willy said adding the last of his incense cigarettes to the pile between them. 

Chat chuckled "You mean a few weeks". 

Willy turned to him wide eyed "What do mean 'weeks', Chat?" he asked leaning in. 

Chat put up his hands "Haha don't get your chaps in a bunch, what I mean is I gotta stash a few of these at my camp, work, and have a few on me in both Civilian and Hero forms". 

Willy backed off "Well I guess that makes sense" he crossed his arms "What's in these things anyway?" he asked.

"The incense are made with trace amounts of theanine, when crushed and burned it smokes" he picked one from the pile lighting it to demonstrate "Plus I have an oral fixation" he added handing it to Willy. It would be a bad idea for him to take off his mask in the middle of the day. 

"So what do you call them?" Willy asked taking the smoking roll from Chat, holding it in his mouth to enjoy the aroma coming from it.

"I always called it an 'I.C' which stands for 'Incense Cig' since that's pretty much what they are" Chat explained shrugging. Willy nodded taking a deep breath through his nose, "Careful there we still have half a day's light to burn".

"Seems like a shame to waste it though" 

Chat pointed to the pile "Why do you think we made so many of the things".

Willy shrugged saying "True" before standing and walking over to snuff out his I.C in a nearby ashtray.  He gestured for Chat to follow "It's about noon you ready for a recharge?".

*BEEP BEEP BEEP* Chat looked down "Guess I am" he said before gathering the I.C's and joining Willy on the walk to the station.  Most of the officers in the station seemed to notice that Chats pockets were stuffed with what looked like blunts. Only a few asked about them but he was more than willing to explain what they were, especially since they all appeared genuinely concerned. Lunch flew by and they left waving to everyone on their way out as they had but they were running out of things to do. After walking around for awhile they decided that they would just relax for the rest of the day and all of tomorrow.

Meanwhile the class was gathering to begin their search but this time they had a new member "Everyone, Juleka’s brother Luka will be helping us search from now on" Alya said addressing the others. They all greeted him welcoming the help that came with an extra set of eyes. After splitting into new teams and discussing who was going where they split up to begin searching their respective areas. Alya and Nino were together as always but this time Nino was staying close to Alya while keeping an eye out for Chat.  He didn't know how she would react given her unusual reaction from a few nights ago but he was betting it wasn't a good idea to let her see him. Hours passed and no one had seen even a trace of their missing class mate nor had they seen Chat, when they regrouped everyone was exhausted but they remained hopeful. 

"We should check in with the police" Luka suggested "They might  have some leads on where Adrien could be".  Chloe and Sabrina agreed telling everyone they would update everyone the next time they met before rushing off in the direction of the station. Over the course of the week the class had grown more understanding and closer to Chloe.

"Mind if we head back to the station a tad early today?" Chat asked then elaborated "-work's a bit far"

"Course" Willy replied standing up.

Chat stood up as well "Thanks 3-W, sorry to cut today short" 

Willy raised a hand shaking his head "Not at all" he said starting toward the station, Chat quickly joined him at his side as they walked down to the station. Chat was surprised to see Chloe and Sabrina at the receptionist desk but Chloe and company had somehow missed a Cowboy and Cat themed Hero walking past them while they talked to the receptionist and an officer. Chat took Willy to his room confirming their plan to do nothing but relax ,and probably drink, the next time they next day. When Chat returned to the front desk to ask where Belial was the receptionist took her attention away from Chloe to answer his question.

"He's with the others in the break room, I'll go get them for you" she said standing up and heading to the break room.   

It wasn't until then that Chloe had noticed his presence "Chat Noir?" she said, her tone suggesting she wasn't happy to see him "What are you doing here?".

"Drop off and pick up" he replied dryly.

Chloe mumbled under her breath "So Alya was right, you really don't care about him".

Chat let out a sigh "If you're referring to the Agreste kid then you're only half right”. 

"AND WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY THAT!?" Chloe yelled holding back tears. 

Chat looked her in the eye, his voice level "I'll tell you something Bee, No one vanishes from sight, who wants to be found". Just as Chloe was about to respond the break room door opened with the usual officers and the receptionist all running out, chasing something. The commotion tore Chloe and Chat’s attention away from scowling at each other. Chat smiled knowing what it was, he whistled and Belial jumped on the desk then to his favorite spot inside Chats collar. "Been causing trouble again I see, eh bud" he said playfully scratching Belial's chin, he turned waving over his shoulder laughing on his way out. 

Chloe was fuming, she was angry at what Chat had said and how he just brushed her off like dirt on his jacket. She wanted to chase after him and give Chat a slap he wouldn't forget for a long time and if she was lucky she might even knock that mask off. Were it not for Sabrina's hand on her shoulder she would have tried it too but the look on her friend's face told her it wasn't worth the trouble. She turned back to the officer they were speaking with and away from Chat with a huff "He's not worth the energy or time" she said coldly. When Chloe and Sabrina left the officer had informed them that they too were coming up empty in their search for Adrien Agreste, the news was going to be bad.

Chat was walking down the street before deciding to scale a building to reach the roof tops, once up there he de-transformed, "Isn't it a bit early for you to be Adrien again?" Plagg asked.

Adrien shrugged "Yeah but I've got work and you need a break after how hard I've been working you this past month" he moved Belial from his shoulder placing him in his shirt. Getting a running start he leaped over the gap between two buildings and started running toward the tavern holding Belial with one hand as he did. Adrien had never tried free running without the enhancements that being Chat Noir gave him, he had developed enough muscle memory to know what he was doing. He still needed to gauge his ability without any assistance but as he ran a thought occurred to him "If I show up already looking tired I can pass it off as part of my secret". 

When he finally arrived at the tavern Adrien was four stories up and had no safe way down but it was already 19:40. Not wanting to back track or transform he decided the best and shortest option was to climb down a story or two and drop down the rest of the way. Climbing down was difficult thanks to having to hold Belial, while dropping down he landed wrong and ended up on his ass landing hard enough to knock the wind from him. After a few seconds he was up and walking again ,even if it wasn't straight, he entered the tavern rubbing his tailbone.

Milo was at the bar when he saw Adrien come in rubbing his rear "Oh so it's that kind of secret is it?" he said half joking.

Adrien looked at him confused, then it clicked, "OH my god NO it's not, it is not that I just...slipped and fell on my way here" he said flustered.

Milo laughed "Hahaha sure thing kid, now get to the back and put on a uniform" he told him as he served a gentleman sitting at the bar. 

"Sure thing boss,sorry I'm late" Adrien replied walking to the back and into the kitchen. 

"Oh-uh, I don't know your size so just use whatever fits and you're early so don't sweat it" Milo called out from the bar.

"OK!" Adrien yelled back, the changing room looked more like an old locker room, he cast a look over his shoulder "Ok" he said addressing Plagg.

"Wow Adrien, you really got it good now don't you?" Plagg said mockingly as he floated out.

"Oh shut up Plagg, at least I have somewhere to work so I can fuel your cheese thirst and keep everyone fed" Adrien said with a joking tone. "Now help me find some pants" he added opening locker after locker.

Plagg rolled his eyes "Yeah, yeah" he flew into every unopened locker until he eventually found a pair that looked about the right size. "Found some" he yelled from the inside of one of the lockers before opening it. 

Adrien rushed over grabbing the pants "Thanks man, I owe you an extra slice tonight" he slipped the pants on "-a little long but I can just roll the cuffs" he did and they fit perfectly. It didn't take him long to find a shirt that fit him properly, once dressed he went to the front to meet Milo to ask what he needed to do. 

Milo looked over Adrien "It's your first day and it's been pretty slow so just clean and serve anyone not at the bar for now" he said gesturing to a pile of cleaning supplies hidden beneath the Bar. 

Adrien nodded before going around and greeting all the patrons "Let me know if you gents need anything" or some variation of it was his go-to greeting. The hours ticked by without anything interesting happening, he bussed a few tables and served drinks or food to a few patrons. Adrien was happy to finally have a civilian life that was similar to other people his age even if he did have to hide his identity as both a hero and civilian. His shift lasted until closing time at around 11:30pm or whenever Milo felt like closing early.

"Hey kid, come here for a minute will ya" Milo yelled from the changing room calling Adrien over.

Adrien looked up from the table he was bussing "Sure thing boss, just give me a sec" he yelled back grabbing the last of the bottles left on the table. After putting everything where it belonged he went to the back to see what Milo wanted him for "What's up, Milo?" he asked.

"I'm sure you've noticed the state of this place isn't the best" Milo said sitting on a bench.

Adrien looked around saying "It's not the best but it's not bad by any means" he thought back to when Nino had brought him in and about what he had seen during his shift. The floor could use some work, the ceiling was fine, some of the tables needed to be replaced or repaired, the bar and kitchen needed the most work overall. Considering Milo has been running the place alone for who knows how long though so it's no surprise that it was in a bit of a state. 

Adrien told Milo his observations and Milo agreed asking him "So then let me ask you this: How do you feel about helping me make this place better". 

"How do you mean?" Adrien asked changing back into his normal clothes "Where do I put this" he asked holding up his uniform.

Milo pointed to a locker that wasn't in too bad of shape "I'm talking about renovating this place...where we can anyway".

Adrien nodded opening the locker "I've got a few grand to spare" he said plainly.

"I hate to ask, I really do but...would you mind?" Milo said sheepishly rubbing the back of his neck.

Adrien sat next to him putting his shoes on "Don't worry about it but we can discuss this more later, I need to go do my 'secret' thing" Milo nodded giving him a pat on the back and telling him to go. Once outside he transformed and scaled the building to reach the roofs deciding to skip his nightly patrol would earn him some needed sleep. When he got the roof and de-transformed he texted Nino "Uncle's planning some renovation on the tavern, think you should be there if you can tomorrow". He didn't expect him to respond at this time of night but tomorrow was the weekend so he put his phone away lighting an I.C and closed his eyes to sleep.

The next morning he awoke drenched and cold under a dark sky that threatened a downpour. Adrien was annoyed that he had failed to wake up when the rain started but there was nothing he could do about it now other than head to his camp and change. It wasn't if he took the rooftops it wasn’t far and he didn't want to wake Plagg so putting Belial in his shirt he decided to use the trip as practice. He managed to get to the camp without waking either of his passengers and changed into some dry clothes checking his phone before starting patrol ,no response yet, he shrugged. 

Plagg woke up just as Adrien was reaching to grab him asking "What's with the wardrobe change...and why am I soaked, did you jump in the river or something?".

Adrien laughed "No, I guess we got rained on last night and neither of us woke up and by the looks of it" he looked to the sky "-it might rain again soon".  He grabbed another clean shirt using it to dry Belial then Plagg, when they were dry Adrien asked "You ready?". 

"Yeah, but don't forget you still owe me that extra slice" Plagg said smiling. 

"Hehe and you'll get it, don't you worry...now-Plagg, Claws Out" once transformed he started patrol keeping an eye out for places that would be nice to relax with Willy. 

*RING RING* the sound of her phone ringing woke Alya, she looked to see who was calling so early in the morning "OH SHIT" she yelled seeing it was Marinette. Alya answered "Hey girl, how you holdin up?" she asked.

"Good, I just got to the Orly airport, I'll be back in Paris in a few hours" Marinette replied casually.

Alya was confused at the causality of Marinette's tone before it dawned on her "You don't know do you...?" Alya asked hesitantly.

Marinette was confused now "Don't know what Alya, did something happen?" she was quiet "Alay you there".

"Mari,I think you should meet me and the class in front of the school when you get back" Alya's voice was somber and filled with regret.

Marinette was concerned now "Ok, I'll let you know when we're back in Paris" she hung up and put her phone in her purse giving Tikki a concerned look, falling silent.

Her father broke the silence that filled the car "Everything ok back there, Marinette?" he asked.

"Oui, Papa" she said, then under her breath "I hope" for the rest of the ride she stared out the window pondering what Alya meant and what the class had to do with it. 

A few hours passed, Chat had picked up Willy for their day of relaxation together and they were just sitting around by the riverfront. Marinette had texted Alya that she was in the city now and was heading home, Alya then texted the rest of the class and Luka to meet in front of the school. When Marinette arrived at her home, she could see her friends sitting on the steps in front of the school with Alya and Nino standing at the front of the group. 

Her father had noticed the group and told her "It looks like your friends want to talk to you, you go, we'll take care of the bags" Marinette hugged him before running to her friends. 

"Hey you guys what's going on and what's with all the long faces?You look like someone died or something" Marinette said jokingly but the reaction of her classmates kept her from laughing. "Alya, what's going on, did I miss something?" she asked.

Alya stepped forward letting go of Nino's hand "Mari, I'm sorry to have to tell you this but...Adrien's been missing for a week now". Marinette was taken aback and she froze, a look of shock, horror and despair on her face "Mari please".

Marinette cut her off stammering "NO, no, th-this is some kind of sick joke right? he can't just be gone" she collapsed holding her head.

"MARINETTE" the class yelled together as they all rushed to her side, together they got Marinette to her feet sitting her down on the steps. 

Alya sat next to her hugging her "I know, I know but there's more to this story please we need you to listen". 

Marinette was shaking but she managed to respond "Ok Alya, I-I'll listen".

Alya told everything that happened when they had last seen him, the mask, coughing up blood, and his sudden disappearance just before the Amber Alert. As she explained Marinette became more and more horrified and scared, fearing the worst had happened to Adrien. Alya finished explaining but decidedly left out any detail involving Chat Noir for both their sakes, Nino was silent through the entirety of the retelling of that day's events. 

Alix chimed in saying "We've been looking for him everyday after school ,all of us, but not even the Police have found him, not yet anyway".  

Marinette wiped her tears "I-I need to be alone to think for a while guys" she said before trying to run back to her house, Luka caught her arm.

He looked her in the eye concerned for her "Are you sure you don't want to be with friends right now?" Marinette tore herself from his grip running faster. He moved to chase her but Kim and Ivan grabbed him shaking their heads to tell him to just let her go.

Tikki tried to console her "I'm sure Adrien's fine Marinette, if he managed to disappear even with the injury your friends say he had then he's probably just healing". 

Marinette was crying into her pillow but looked up to respond "I don't know Tikki, he just...he just disappeared without saying a word and not even the entire Paris Police force can find him".

"They might not be able to but maybe Ladybug could?" Tikki gently suggested.

Marinette took a few deep breaths to calm down "Yeah, yeah maybe we could" she stood "Tikki, Spots On". Leaping off her balcony Ladybug decided that the best course of action was to try her normal patrol route to search for Adrien and to let Paris know she had returned. Not too long after starting her search she spotted Alya, jumping down to street level she tapped her shoulder to get her attention.

Alya turned to see who tapped her "LADYBUG, YOUR BACK!" she yelled ecstatically before pulling out her phone. "Ladybug, you've finally returned to Paris after a month of being gone, where were you and why did you leave?". 

Ladybug did her best to look heroic stating "Yes I have returned and I had some...business to attend to in my civilian life but I am back now and ready to protect Paris".

Alya's excitement faded and she asked "Do you have any comment on recent events?".

Ladybug feigned ignorance doing her best to hold back tears "No I have only returned today and it seems my partner has kept this city safe".

Alya mumbled under her breath "Well I wouldn't say that". 

"What was that?" Ladybug asked.

"N-nothing...uhm, a classmate and friend of mine has gone missing recently. His name is Adrien Agreste and no one has been able to find or contact him since" Alya said sounding scared. "There have also been Akuma sightings throughout the week an-" she choked up "and I hate to ask a busy hero...but-".

Ladybug stopped her "I will search for your friend, everyone deserves to be treated with the same importance even if there's Akuma. I will find my partner and we will search the city". She zipped herself up and onto a roof to continue her search before Alya could say another word.

Alya flinched "Ladybug, if only you knew..." she stopped recording.

Ladybug had to take a moment to breath and wipe the tears that had begun to form in her eyes after her performance for the Ladyblog. She continued on her patrol but not even an hour after her run-in with Alya Ladybug spotted Chat sitting on a bench next to the river with what looked like a cowboy. Sorrow and fear had left her in an instant, replaced by anger and resentment toward Chat Noir. Jumping to street level again she walked in front of them in the middle of a conversation but both their eyes were closed.

Chat was laughing "Wait, wait so you're telling me no one saw you running buck naked down the street?".

"I don't know Noir, all I know is that I will never play spin spin the bottle or seven minutes heaven ever again" Willy replied 

Ladybugs anger only rose, she cleared her throat to get their attention "*Ahem* Having a nice little chat are we?" she asked in an angrily sarcastic tone.

Chat recognized the voice immediately "Uh-oh, cavalries here, 3-W" he stated opening his eyes.

Willy opened his eyes starting to speak "What 'cavalry' do...you...Uh-oh" he stopped when he saw who was in front of them.

Ladybug was tapping her foot, arms crossed with a scowl plastered across her face "Care to explain?" she asked demandingly.

Chat replied seriously "No I don't think I do, LB" he stood up from the bench "3-W, it's time" he said looking over his shoulder and started to walk toward the Police station.

Willy's expression matched the seriousness and somber in his voice as he got up to follow Chat "Damn, guess I'll never get that drink" he sighed heavily "-welp times up". 

"I'll let you lead the way" Ladybug stated annoyed and angry from Chat's interactions with the Akuma, she figured they had become close and knew what needed to be done. None of them said a word on the walk to the station but Ladybug was visibly furious at how casually Chat was acting, in the back of her mind she was thinking of a few choice words to describe him. When they finally reached the station most of the officers were off duty or on break but a few familiar faces stuck out to Chat and Willy. 

Most everyone had the same reaction saying all together "Ladybug, you're back?!" she put on a smile and waved to all of them before returning to scowling at Chat. 

The three officers who were taking care of Belial and the officer who gave him the keys to the cells approached Chat "Hey guys,” he sighed holding out his fist “I think this is the last time we’ll meet here, so...bien joué?".

They all chuckled with a smile before bumping fists with him, holding it for a moment they repeated after him “bien joué” before pulling away together.

Chat looked to the officer who stored Willy's gun and asked "You remember where you put it?" the officer nodded before walking off. He quickly returned with a small gun case, opening it he presented the weapon to Chat who grabbed the gun and turned to Willy. The station fell silent "It's been fun, 3-W" Chat said extending his hand holding the gun in the other.

Willy grabbed Chat's forearm giving it a shake "It really has Noir, thank you for everything you’ve done" Chat smiled letting go of his arm.

"Cataclysm" the gun rusted and crumbled releasing the Akuma. 

Ladybug wasted no time in cleansing it "Bye-bye little Butterfly". 

Willy was cleansed at last, he fell to the ground dazed and confused "Why am I here, wait where is here". 

"Miraculous Ladybug!"  

A swarm of ladybugs engulfed Willy and the remains of the cap gun that held the Akuma and even swarmed around him. The toy cap gun was fixed and laying on the floor, the sight of it was enough for Willy to figure out what had happened on his own "Oh, I got akumatized didn't I?".

Chat knelt down grabbing the toy and handing it to him "Trust me you didn't do much and...my condolences ,I know what that feels like, but you should live your life ,for him". 

Willy hugged Chat "I don't know what I said as a villain but, thank you" he started crying, Chat patted him lightly on the back before Willy released him. Chat stood and offered his hand to Willy to help him up.

Chat handed the former cowboy his gun "Just be careful where you point that thing" he said gesturing to his mask that was still firmly affixed to his face. *BEEP BEEP* "Looks like I'm out of time, though I'd oh so love to catch up Ladybug I believe it will have to wait" Chat said with a hint of sarcasm in his voice. Ladybug wanted to slap that mask off his face and make him explain himself but she knew he was right and he was already out the door before she could have done anything. 

Outside Chat de-transformed in the nearby alley "DAMMIT!" he yelled punching a dumpster, despite being enveloped by the ladybugs the scar that bared his teeth was still there. 

"Maybe it's just too old to fix?" Plagg suggested.

"UGH, whatever" Adrien threw his hands in the air "It's not like I could have just gone back to the way things were even if it did work" he exclaimed "Fuck it!". He punched the dumpster until he left a large dent in its side, he would have continued until his knuckles were bloody and worn to the bone had a buzz from his pocket not stopped him. The buzz broke his rage and after a few deep stuttered breaths he pulled out his phone to see a text from a number he hadn't seen in a very long time. 

“From Fe’ Agreste: I'm at the airport come get pick me up".

G’day

So, about once or twice a month we do practice drills for emergency situations. Mostly for fires but also security threats, man overboard, evacuations, etc.. It’s always a pain in the butt to do them because they take up to two hours sometimes and you have to participate even if it’s your time off. It also often affects time off at ports. If I had the day off to go to an island, I can’t get off until the drill is done. ANYWAYS. Practice drills are all fun and games and laughs and everyone complains about them but they are important because truth be told, no one knows what is going on ever, so it’s important to prepare people if there actually was an emergency which just so happens to have taken place on Jan.18th for REAL this time. We are always given a warning when there is going to be drills, or it’s put in our schedule, but this one came as a surprise to everyone at 1:30 in the morning. The emergency code for fire on a ship goes as followed on the announcement- “Bravo... Bravo... Bravo... “ and then is followed by the location of the fire on the ship and then in practice drill situations is always followed by “this is a drill for the crew” so we know it’s all chill and not a big deal. BUT on Jan.18th it was far less chill as it came as a surprise to everyone and was not a drill.

So, after we had all gone to bed and had started falling asleep, we were all abruptly woken up to a REAL bravo. Announcements never come on in crew cabins unless it’s a real emergency, which is 99% of the time a medical emergency. So, while it’s still shocking to hear the PA system come on in your room, it’s always just for medical reasons. When I heard the announcement turn on, I just laid there with my eyes closed waiting for them to say “Alpha.. Alpha.. Alpha..” which is code for medical emergency because it happens quite often. HOWEVER. When the words bravo, bravo, bravo came out of the persons mouth at 1:30am, shit got REAL. I had never sprung out of my bed so fast. Every department has certain duties for a bravo, and ours is to go up to the kids club and wait for further instruction. You have to get to your location in 7 minutes or less. As I was frantically changing into my uniform, my co worker down the hall knocked on doors around her to make sure we were all up. I dashed out of my room and met up with 2 others on the way and were about to boot it up 12 flights of stairs until we saw the chief engineer taking the elevator so we went in with him hahaha. (You aren’t supposed to take the elevator, but I figured if he was taking it we could as well). Crew were all sprinting down the corridors to get more info/to get to their locations. While people were keeping their cool, everyone was definitely panicking. My team of 12 all waited at our spot for further instruction, all confused and experiencing minor panic as we had no idea how bad the fire was. After about 10 mins, the captain came on the system and said there was a small fire in one of the food prep areas but that it had been contained and we could all be dismissed. Absolutely mental. Because, my first thought as soon as I sprung out of bed was that the ship was gonna burst into flames and sink, or we would have to get everyone onto life boats and evacuate the ship. The process of getting 3,000+ guests on life rafts is just hilarious to think about, it would be SUCH a mess. If a real emergency happened, god I just can’t even imagine the chaos. I was expecting it to be a really, really long night, but alas, just a small little fire that was put out easily. As we waited upstairs for our fate, a big part of me was hoping that a good chunk of the ship would get damaged by fire (no injuries of course) and that we would have to shut down for a few weeks to rebuild and we could get put up in hotels in Sydney. However, no such luck. Once the drill was over, I couldn’t stop laughing just because of how much of a gong show it was and how crazy it could have been. It was hard for anyone to fall asleep that night after the adrenaline rush of knowing there’s a fire on a floating vessel. So that was just a crazy, stressful, intense but hilarious situation. My friend has worked 5 contracts and had never experienced a real bravo, so it’s crazy for a lot of people.

Speaking of getting people on life boats, I have quite a funny situation. Some people at home actually already know because I told them when I found out but for others, here’s a nice laugh for you- crew and staff are all assigned to over 25 different life rafts in case we ever needed to evacuate. Out of all the possible ones I could have been assigned to, my friend Laura and I are assigned to the same life raft as the captain, chief safety, chief security, hotel director and staff captain. Aka, this is the last life raft to abandon ship. What is our luck. So, allllll of those important people, a few restaurant staff, a few maintenance guys, other random departments and two youth staff will all be the last to evacuate. Cheers! I’ll just be waiting till absolutely everyone gets off the ship until I’m allowed to leave with the captain. Good stuff. (Obviously I’d try to sneak off earlier). Hopefully we never have to :)

I’ve been quite lucky the past 2 weeks because I have had the shoebox room to myself. Unfortunately, my roommate Lucy had to be signed off in Sydney at the hospital/a hotel during the last 12 day cruise because the doctor feared she had German measles. In the end, there was never a complete diagnosis, but she stayed off the ship for those 12 days and she completely had to move everything out of her suitcases in case she got sent home. After she returned, she ended up getting placed in another room and I was assigned a 55-60ish year old sports staff from Poland. She completely cleaned my room, vacuumed and bleached and cleaned the bathroom, amazing. However, when I woke up in the morning she was gone without a trace. Completely packed up like she was never there. It turns out she requested to move cabins because mine made her too sea sick?? Strange considering everywhere on the ship rocks. Anyways, I know am on day 19 of having my own room and will more than likely get a new roommate when we get back to Sydney and a bunch of new people sign on.

Speaking of the 12 day cruise, what an absolute shi* show. We had our highest kid count so far (1,200) and we were already one down with my roommate being signed off. Then on the second day, we were two down because another guy on our team got confined to his room for 48 hours because he got the flu. I worked multiple 11/12 hour days. We were absolutely exhausted. The sports team was down 2, the cruise entertainment staff were down 2, and then mid cruise the cruise director aka the face of the ship who is responsible for all entertainment on board cut her foot on coral and had to get 20 stitches in her foot and couldn’t walk for a few days. Needless to say, everyone was overworked and had to help out in extra ways over those 12 days. Still managed to get off a few times and enjoy some beach time though. Feeling #blessed that those 12 days are behind us. I’m hoping that is the craziest it will ever get. Australian summer is now officially over as of yesterday (the 26th) school started today (27th) so the kid counts should go down. But there’s still a cruise coming up in 2 weeks with 800 kids so I don’t understand. Apparently aussies don’t care about having their kids out of school. I’m sure it will go down as soon as I leave on March 7th with my luck.

On the topic of leaving, if I was Chinese, I probably would not be able to go home. This Coronavirus is obviously being taken very seriously, even with royal caribbean. As of now, they aren’t flying home practically any Chinese employees. For example, a friend of mine is supposed to fly home on turnaround day (tomorrow as I write this) but is allowed to extend his contract because they aren’t letting people fly into parts of China and royal is letting them extend to keep safe. Same with the other way around, the process of getting them on board is difficult and has changed. Originally, they weren’t going to be sending any Chinese citizens onto ships, but now some are allowed depending on where they are from/when they start. There are 3 girls leaving my team on feb.5th, meaning 3 new ones are coming. One of them is Chinese, and we didn’t think she would be able to come. However, it turns out she is now coming, BUT has to be confined to a room for TWO WEEKS. All Chinese staff coming on board must be confined to a shoe box room for 2 weeks to make sure they are fine, how CRAZY. No window, sunlight or fresh air for 2 weeks. It seems a bit stupid to me that they just wouldn’t decide to send them at later times rather than make them do this. ANYWAYS, we will see how it goes. This is her first contract, so she has no idea what to expect and will start off her journey by being confined for 2 weeks.

On a side note, Spectrum of the Seas sails out of Hong Kong and the crew received some amazing news. Even though the circumstance is obviously horrible (the virus), they are cancelling all cruises for at least the next 2 weeks and all the crew will sail to japan with no guests and stay there for 2 weeks, no guests. I believe they will be able to get off and tour around as long as the coronavirus doesn’t make its way there. Those employees are living the absolute dreammmmm.

This virus will have a big impact on ships because many, many employees are Chinese. However, the Chinese employees do not even come close to the amount of Filipinos and Indonesians. There’s probably about 60 Filipinos for every non-Filipino. Filipino, Indonesian, Indian and Chinese are for sure the top 4 most popular nationalities on board. There’s also a lot of Ukrainians on this ship. There’s maybeeee 10 Canadians? Not a lot, but more than Americans I think. I think there’s only about 5 that I know of. Lots of English and Romanian people as well. I’ve said it before, but my team is made up of 2 Canadians, 1 Russian, 1 Ukrainian, 1 from Chile, 5 English, 2 Brazilian and my boss is Filipino.

We went to Lifou, Loyalty Islands a few days ago and I experienced perhaps the craziest story I will ever have experienced/ be able to tell in my entire life. After missing out on some cool tourist locations due to lack of money, my friend Vera from Russia and I decided to test our luck at the beach. We walked far down a path to bring us to an area where there were no crew or guests. Just a tiny, tiny little beach that had about 15 locals swimming at it. My friend Vera has never snorkelled before and last time I was at this exact spot I found a really nice area that had a bunch of nemo fish about 80m out from the shore. All of the locals were chilling about waist deep just cooling off, whereas I was going out decently far to go find this coral/the fish. I told Vera that I would wave her down once I found it and she said she would come swim out to me. So, after making it out there and somehow miraculously finding the exact location I had stumbled upon before, I turned around to start waving to Vera to make her way out only to find out that I am now quite literally the only person in the water and all of the locals are now standing on the sand. Not only are they now all standing out of the water, they are frantically WAVING me down yelling at me to swim back to shore and giving me the SHARK FIN symbol and yelling “SHARKKK SHARKKKK” So at this point, I am the only person in the water, with 80m to swim to safety and swimming with a shark. I pretty much blacked out and tried not to think about what was happening and just swam with my eyes facing towards the shore. I didn’t dare look under water with my goggles because if I saw a shark I would have absolutely lost my shit. Sharks have never scared me and I saw them at mystery island and wasn’t bothered, but the fact that I was alone and decently far out and was not expecting it, I definitely panicked. The whole time I was swimming back I was just WAITING to feel a chomp. My friend Vera waiting for me on shore was definitely freaking out as I swam back. Once I got out, I laid on the beach for a good 5 mins like a beached whale trying to process what had happened and for my heart to stop beating so fast. Anyways, I’m alive and it made for a great story. On the way back to the ship while waiting for the tender boats to pick us up, we saw 4 sea turtles by the docks too, perfect way to end the weird day.

Australia Day fell on our last cruise, which is just like Canada day but for Australia. It was also India’s national day the following day, so we had a huge party at our crew bar area to celebrate with the hundreds of Indians that work on board. I didn’t see much of the Australian festivities, but it is definitely unique to see people so patriotic for countries (India and Australia) that you aren’t a part of.

The next two cruises are going to be quite interesting. They are 3 day and 2 day “tasters”. We did one after the crossing. The boat literally just goes out to sea and back, how silly. The kid count drops to 500 which is nice going from 1200 and 800, but it’s still TOO high. At least these will go by fast and we will get to go to Sydney 3 times over 6 days. Then, we have a 2 week cruise which we are all praying has a small amount of kids. Australians went back to school a few days ago after their summer break, so one would assume the counts would drop a bit. After that 2 week cruise is done I’ll only have 17 DAYS left. Absolutely insane. I’m finding it rude that this year decided to be a leap year and February has 29 days instead of 28 like usual, as I’d get to have one less day on my countdown to coming home. Still having a good time, but the countdown is most definitely on. “Sign off” mode is setting in.

Well, I must go now as I have to go participate in “waves”. This is a farewell event for guests which consists of a special guest show, and then a royal caribbean song performed by the singers and dancers about thanking the guests for cruising and that we will see them again soon. It’s quite literally the corniest thing you will ever see, then people from each department (me) walk along the stage and wave goodbye to everyone.

Final thought- I’ve seen so many birds flying around over the last 2 sea days which makes no sense to me- how do they survive on the open ocean without any land near them? Where do they sleep? The closest land was hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of miles away.

That’s all from me :)
