“(Y/N)...psst, hey, (Y/N).”

“No.”

“What do you mean no?”

“I mean you're the reason we’re stuck here in the first place! So no!” 

“Hey, ain’t my fault Holak’s a pain in everyone’s ass and doesn’t like it when I kiss my favorite person in the hallway.”

“We were not kissing you were making out with me under the stairs, Munson. And now I have detention and it's your fault.”

Eddie Munson, king freak of Hawkins High, dungeon master and ring leader of Hellfire Club, and worst of all your boyfriend flashed his incredibly irritating and adorable smile at you—you looked away to not fall for it, going back to your homework. 

He leaned forward and whispered in your ear, “you weren’t complaining about it before she found us, were you?”

You could just smack him. 

Instead, you decided to tune him out and continue your work. May as well do something productive here, right?

You didn’t look up when the teacher mentioned something about having a meeting to go to and expecting you to behave yourselves, nor did you look up when he left. You, unfortunately, looked up when Eddie took your pencil out of your hand and sat on the desk in front of you. 

“Hey! That’s mine!”

“Come get it, sweetheart.”

There’s that cocky smirk you hate so much from him. 

You stood from your seat, as did he. He held the pencil above and behind his head, so you lunged forward for it. With a bit of laugh, he dropped the pencil and wrapped his arms around your waist, pulling you in tight. Your hand you reached for the pencil with landed on his shoulder in defeat. 

“You’re a prick,” you complained, although you made no effort to pull away. 

“Mhm, yeah, and you hate me so much. Shut up and kiss me already.”

He silenced anything else you planned on saying with a needy kiss. Almost immediately you melted, using your other hand to run through his hair. When you tugged gently, he groaned against your lips, pulling you tighter against him. Without a second thought, he walked you backward into a desk (luckily not the one you’d been sitting at) and you sat on top. His hands traveled down from your waist to your legs, guiding you to wrap them around his waist. 

You pulled away from him, putting a finger over his lips to stop him from following yours. “We shouldn’t be doing this, Ed. We’re screwed if he comes back in.”

“You didn’t seem to be complaining.” 

You groaned in frustration and laid your head against his shoulder. “Eddie Munson, you are such a pain in my ass.” 

“I could be if ya let me.”

“Ed!”

waterloo | oikawa tooru x reader

Title: Waterloo Fandom: Haikyuu!! Character: Oikawa Tooru Genre: Very, very light angst. Fluff. Word Count: 1595 Extra Info: Crossposted from dA. AKA: That ABBA inspired fic nobody asked for that I wrote at like 1am but ok

♥

“Hey, (Y/N)!” a chirpy voice.

Too chirpy. You knew that voice from anywhere. You peered around the courtyard warily, locating the cowlicked boy from half a mile away before cowering into yourself. It wasn’t that you didn’t like him, you just… you liked him too much. And too much was bad. Especially with Oikawa Tooru.

You didn’t even know what he’d do if he ever found out of your… predicament involving him. Oikawa Tooru, the renowned womaniser of Seijoh. No. It was unheard of!

You instead opted to walk right past him, though you could feel your cheeks reddening an embarrassing colour as you sauntered past. It was embarrassing. You were eighteen, not fourteen- why, then, did you feel like your entire body was in flames when you walked in the vicinity of that boy? You shuddered - he must’ve had you under some sort of spell.

As you entered the school building, you let out a quick sigh. You’d escaped him. Somehow. And you felt the relief sink into you the way a stone sinks into water, instantaneous relief that consumed you as you walked over to your friends who were congregating by the staircase.

♥

“(Y/N)!” his voice. Again.

You tried to avoid him, to walk right past him, but his arm shot out and grasped your wrist, halting your footsteps. You didn’t dare lift your chin, eyes trained on the ground as the world seemed to fall apart at your feet. Damn it. Why didn’t he get the message? You were avoiding him, was he blind?

“Let’s get something to eat!”

“No, I’m busy, Tooru. Besides, don’t you have practice?”

You could literally feel the pout radiating off his cream skin, he tugged on your wrist once more and you tried with all your might not to look up. To look up would a) be defeat and b) expose your abnormally tomato-coloured face to him. Both factors were one and their own individual, and you didn’t feel like giving into the brunet so easily. Or even with difficulty. You’d die with this… secret.

“But (Y/N)-” he dragged out your name in that oh-so-pretty tone of his that made your heart flutter desperately as it drummed against your ribcage, “you know practice isn’t on on Mondays- and it’s not good to overwork yourself!”

“Tooru, I’d love to but-”

“Great then! It’s settled!” a successful smile pulled the corners of his lips upwards, that mischievous glint dancing around in his eyes in such an infuriatingly adorable manner; the sort that sent sparks dancing through your body; the sort that crinkled his eyes and exhibited the life in his soul.

The joy of life.

In a slip of judgement, you accepted. After all, was falling into defeat really that bad when you felt like you won anyway?

Because with him, somehow, you felt like you won when you lost anyway.

♥

“(Y/N)." He sat in front of you, an unreadable expression written across his face; You’ve been ignoring me, avoiding me,” Oikawa mused.

His cheek lay in his hand, tussled chestnut hair falling over his eyes and masking the sun from fully entering his eyes as he gazed out the window before his eyes turned to yours. You felt your heart plummet to your shoes.

“No I’ve not,”

You tried to feign apathy, stirring the spoon in your coffee round and round. Your eyes darted around the café, landing on vinyls that sat proudly on the walls and signed photographs, couples laughing and students pouring their minds into their homework and projects in between sips of coffee and laughter. There was always a protective aura in cafés, the sort that set you at ease in a sense. It was as though the exquisite scent of coffee could chase away any impending sense of doom and allow you to sink into the leather booth you were sat in.

Except for now.

Wherein you sat rigidly, glancing down at the swirling liquid chasing circles round and round and round the mug.

“You have. You’re doing it right now~” he teased, and you shook your head.

No you weren’t. You just didn’t want him to know. And you knew that as soon as you looked into his warm eyes; framed with gold thanks to the tint of the sun, you’d spill your heart out. Provoked by the false security of the café and your own muddled brain that felt like an unsolvable jigsaw puzzle in that moment. You wanted to bang your head against the table and pull your hair out.

Instead, you just sat there.

“No I’m not.”

“Look me in the eye, (Y/N), and tell me you’ve not been avoiding me intentionally, then,” he demanded, and you nearly choked on the aromatic atmosphere of the café.

You felt cornered; he was going to coax you into surrendering at any minute now.

“I don’t need to prove myself to you,”

“If you had nothing to hide-” he paused mid-sentence, eyes widening in a way that made you feel even more cornered; he was peering right into your soul, his quick mind acting as a compass as he traced the reasons as to why you were acting this way, “you’re avoiding me because you have something to hide, huh?”

“What? No!” you protested, “I’m just busy. And you’re busy. With volleyball. So we never meet. Ever. I’m sorry,” you muttered, all the excuses flying out your mouth with a practised ease that just acted as a catalyst.

“Ah!” he said, “You are hiding something!”

That stupid grin on his face made your insides curdle with sourness, you wanted to reach up to his face and grip his chin. You wanted to grab his face by both sides and show him how infuriatingly irresistible he was in every single damn way with just his innocuous looks; his casually irritable self that had you falling head over heels for him all over again.

“Do you have a… partner, (Y/N)?”

You glowered at him.

“No, idiot.”

“So mean!”

“Then why are you avoiding me-”

“Because… I’m busy,”

You weren’t surrendering just yet.

♥

“(Y/N)!”

History had that uncanny way of repeating itself and somehow, you’d managed to find yourself dragged to that same café a week later. Albeit this time, with ample reason. You had a project to work on and had decided the café was the perfect rendezvous for your group members.

You instantaneously regretted your choice, however, when you heard the chime of one Oikawa Tooru’s voice. It sounded as melodiously irritable as always, and you could feel your heart sinking further with every footstep he took towards your table.

Was it just you, or had the room’s temperature increased way above average?

“(Y/N)! You’re here!” Oikawa Tooru was there. At your table.

After a week of ignoring him once more. A week after you’d vowed not to surrender to that jelly-like substance inside you; that part of your heart that melted into nothing but sweetness whenever you thought of him. After all, you had not even 6 months before graduation, and who knew what would happen after graduation?

Now was not the time for love- Or petty romances. (Or middle grade emotions that made you feel like everything in the world was okay whilst simultaneously making you feel as though the world was spinning off its axis and the sun had been replaced with the honeydew tones of his voice and-)

“You’ve been ignoring me again,” he teased.

“Why do you care?” you shrugged, glad that none of your group members were running exactly on time for fear that they’d see the… encounter between you and Tooru.

You didn’t want rumours, after all.

“Because, (Y/N), I like you!”

And your heart all but stopped at the carelessness of his words-

“I don’t want you to keep ignoring me! We’re friends!”

And there it was. The reason you would never back down or admit defeat. There was no point. He didn’t view you in any other light other than that of a casual friendship.

“Well, Tooru,” you shrugged, “That’s exactly why I’m ignoring you.”

You didn’t know why the words tumbled out in that manner; clumsy, as though your mouth was filled with cotton wool and silk, tumbling out in organised chaos that caused him to straighten up as he knitted his eyebrows together.

“What’s that meant to mean?”

“You’re meant to be smart. Figure it out.”

It wasn’t surrendering; it was admitting there was nowhere to escape anymore. (There was a difference, honest.)

♥

♥

Perhaps to surrender wasn’t that bad afterall.

[strawbrymilkshake]

ok ACTUAL good omens au this time bc the tiniest push from @seasoning-city is apparently all the excuse i need to throw myself into this lmao 

mob as adam

serizawa as aziraphale

reigen as crowley

touichirou as gabriel

jodo as beelzebub

there’s A Lot here actually the rest is going under a read more jhgfdsf

mogami as hastur (and ligur)

shimazaki as death

minegishi as famine

hatori as pollution

shibata as war

kurosaki as agnes nutter

mezato as anathema

tome as newt

shou as pepper

ritsu as wensleydale

teru as brian

dimple as dog

onigawara as warlock

honestly i have no idea who shadwell and tracy would be

god and satan would probably just stay as god and satan u no

also minor human characters like the nuns and stuff. unless there’s like an extremely obvious parallel im missing but they get to stay

and uhhh i think thats it for character stuff honestly and i feel like the plot would go relatively the same??

OH I FORGOT serizawa’s umbrella instead of the flaming sword

also damn. i just remembered crowley’s bentley. can reigen even drive

OK OK so reigen wouldn’t be a one to one copy of crowley bc like gfdsdfg can you imagine BUT LIKE he’d def have the same rep in hell (he’s got that same ‘everybody fucking hates him’ energy among the psychic community that crowley does among the demons) & he would absolutely coast by on lying to his superiors and never do Any Fuckin Work (letting other people do his job & taking credit 👀). also he is 100% the type of person to confidently fuck up a baby switch

anyways i just thought of reigen with baby mob and ooughfhufhg I’m Soft

serizawa obvi also isn’t Exactly like aziraphale but he would have a similar hardship in defecting from his superiors and absolutely has that kind of initial blind following & belief in them that slowly starts to dwindle when reigen convinces him more. also he just acts out on his own anyway like giving away the flaming sword vs protecting reigen from touichirou’s attack, and they both also have those internal suspicions of the great plans™ u no

also im thinking that giving away the umbrella (which ik isnt v biblical™ but like bear w me lol) instead of the flaming sword to protect the humans kinda shows serizawa’s protectiveness and how Even More Unlike the rest of heaven he is bc he doesn’t even get a weapon in the first place. also could tie in to the umbrella being his room and like...idk. touichirou giving it to him like ‘it’s a piece of heaven’ but seri still giving it away bc he knows how badly the humans need protection. also don’t ask me how this would fit in to war getting it bc i just thought the umbrella = sword thing would be cool lmao

actually a lot of these things i didn’t put much thought into other than ‘thatd be funny lol’ like onigawara as warlock kjhghj but these shows are both SILLEY so im allowed to do what i want

honestly i just put mezato as anathema bc mezato telling mob what to say for his speech and anathema telling adam abt the evils™ of the world kind of reminded me of each other lmao

also idk how to feel abt The Them like for wtvr reason i feel like the awakening lab kids would fit them much more but also like....where would i put the boys........argh idk

and god there’s a lot more i could go into with this esp w reigen & serizawa’s relationship and how they act as a demon & angel respectively and i can feel my writing itch freaking tf out but its like 1am. i have to Do Shit tomorrow

also i havent read good omens or the mp100 manga and i feel like it’d be incredibly disingenuous for me to try and properly write this out fully w/out doing so, as much as i Desperately want to, so instead you get wtvr This is sdfghjk

also idk how to end this post but like if you read through all that thank you lmao pls indulge in this au w me 

[tayegi]

Bro! I'm so scared for what Jungkook's gonna do now that he found out what happened between Jimin and the mc. I legit thought he was gonna hit her, but now that he walked out I have a feeling he went out to find Jimin and things could go really bad and its nerve wrecking. Jk is really obsessive and the fact that she was anxious the whole time, I don't blame her. Tbh, I was scared of you updating a new chapter because I knew shit was about to go down, but the worst has yet to even come.

Anonymous said:Sorry cuz I might have sent an ask prematurely. Anyways, I feel really feel bad for the OC with Jungkook being so controlling and manipulative and Jimin neglecting her and putting her second to Jungkook. Personally I don't see an ending where the OC ends with either or where Jungkook and Jimin get together. I hope they find a way out of this toxic situation they found themselves in. Thanks you for the update by the way! It was an entertaining read. ^^

Anonymous said:Dude, I feel so bad for the OC. Being controlled and manipulated by Jungkook while simultaneously being put second by Jimin

Anonymous said:omfg i just read equilibrium 12 and i was literally so scared the entire time. holy shit, i really hope Jimin figures out whats happening and does something :/

Anonymous said:daaaamn lu the latest chapter of equilibrium gave me the chills at 1am :") as someone very lacking of sleep rn, i feel bad that the oc can't get proper rest with jjk around.. cant wait for the day she finally stands up for herself!!!! (if she ever does)

Anonymous said:Jimin has to know something is up. He may have been blindsided by jk while he was there, but Mc was too obvious when he was gone. Also, jks reaction to the condom confused me. I was expecting him to be furious and get violent. Is this to show how unstable he is? That one moment his "love" (really just possessiveness) is crushing (threat) the next it's "sweet" (the necklace) and the next it's like this. Or is it cuz this "victim" act Mc will blame herself and stay (violence could drive her away)

Anonymous said:Her situation makes me sick. It makes me feel like puking. The worst part is that this can happen to anyone. They can be strong and take no bs, but if someone like jk manages to weasel into their Iives, it can all be stripped down. And most won't consciously realize "this is abuse" and/or can't go through the steps to get out. Like the Mc knows this isn't right, but doesn't/can't leave. I feel trapped just reading, can't imagine what it feels like to actually be in that situation

Anonymous said:This is the second time she's thought he'd hit her omfg pls gurl run away 😭😭😭

Anonymous said:I read the the new chapter of Equilibrium and it's amazing how you convey feelings. I feel really uncomfortable thinking about the relationship between the three, it seems so unhealthy and destroying. Jimin is using her body, Jungkook treats her like a possession and the oc does nothing to get out of that and even encourages this behavior even. She wants to run after Jungkook and there are so many more examples that I have to reread it later. Thank you for writing and sharing your work ♥♥♥

Anonymous said:Oh god I read the new Equilibrium chapter and holy shit Jungkook is getting more and more terrifying. It's amazing how well you depict the character's fear towards him and I really really wish she would just leave and run away but seeing how the story is playing out so far I don't see that happening... even I feel fear for her D: that just goes to show how well you write out the events of the story and the character's emotions/reactions to them!!

Anonymous said:The entirety of the new chapter of Equilibrium had me screaming 'everyone should just gtfo of that awful, toxic relationship' Like everytime the OC was worried about the backlash from JK just for kissing Jimin. Bitch, that's fucking psychological abuse, I wish the characters would realize that its not healthy or okay in the slightest. Props for writing such a nuanced story & capturing common relationship tropes in media that are glorified as romantic but are actual abusive af. Love you :)

Anonymous said:Equilibrium got me fucked up. I honestly don't know what to feel but I don't feel great reading about abuse when I have to wait for what happens next (no rush honestly stories like this just make me think to no end about what's next and gives me secondhand nerves) but I just cannot stop. I'm just so worried about everything going on in this relationship and how unhealthy it is. On another note, thank you for another great chapter, I'm sure how it'll play out will have me shook.

Anonymous said:Ahhh, I had a feeling you had updated today for some reason!! Thanks!

Anonymous said:Oh man it's getting so intense with the new chapter...I'm actually getting kind for scared for Jimin now with possessive Jungkook raging all over the place. Just hoping Jimin might actually catch on with Y/N's actions :( MY GOSH DOES JIMIN EVEN LIKE Y/N WHAT"S GOING ON LIKE SERIOUSLY! Jungkook you are now officially on the bottom of my list lol

kyarybunny said:It's unnerving to read how 'safe' was used to explain Jungkook's absence... So many examples of this being abusive. Plus she thought he was about to hit her?!? Also reading the climax (ha) between her&Jimin was like a let down (on his part, not u) He probably felt hurt when the response was immediately addressing Jungkook (That quick exit) but he didn't even try to reciprocate :/ or even look her in the face smh... But YOU'RE SO GREAT AT WRITING it made me upset in a good way! I enjoyed reading~

Anonymous said:AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA fuck nvm. I can't do this. My hearts hurting. I just want to take her out of there. Kick that asshole in the face. Keep her safe and protected from shit holes like him. I can't read this tonight. I'm not gonna be able to sleep. See ya tomorrow. I'll try again tomorrow. Shit lu you're gonna kill me one day. Either you or bigshit. You both have the amazing abilities to drop stuff when it's least expected but when it's the most effective. K peace. C ya tomorrow

Anonymous said:Ah you really surprised me with that new chapter of equilibrium was about to go to bed then I saw it and just had to read it. The writing is really well done, the possessiveness that Jungkook displays towards the oc is so scary, and poor jimin doesn't suspect a thing. And that ending scene was so scary to read I didn't know what he was going to do when he found out. I really loved it. Can't wait to see how the story progresses from here. 😊

Anonymous said:OMFFF SHITS GOING DOWWWNNNN!!!! Low key super worried but high key super keen to see what happens next! Another amazing piece of writing as always! xxx

Anonymous said:both of oc's boyfriends are assholes omg and ones fucking crazy

Anonymous said:Jungkook is being kind of dick, on the one hand I get he feels betrayed, but it doesn't excuse the possessive nature! He wanted to be in a poly Relationship! He doesn't get to call the shots. Jimin is no better, the MC isn't innocent either and it's so good. You write such complex literary characters.

Anonymous said:newest chap of Equilibrium was so good. i could honestly feel the reader's fear. i actually got sick to my stomach, i was so frightened. like a++++ job with that writing, you got some mad skills, girl.

AH THANK YOU GUYS SO MUCH FOR RECOGNIZING PSYCHOLOGICAL AND MENTAL ABUSE!!! the girls from previous chapters who thought this was “sexy” seriously scared the shit out of me. Nothing of this is acceptable whatsoever. It’s completely unhealthy and all of the characters need to get out of this situation, tbh haha

THANK YOU FOR READING, MY LOVES, AND FOR BEING SUCH A LOVELY, RECEPTIVE AUDIENCE. I LOVE YOU ALL

[whyarewecalledtheshipname]

PLS FOR THE LOVE OF GOD feel free to geek out over CoM more ITS SO GOOD

com spoilers:

also for clarity’s sake, the reason belle rejected beast was bc maleficent wanted a pure heart, or a heart filled with pure love or something like that, so belle suppressed her feelings for beast to keep her heart safe from maleficent

also sora’s sprite here is a little interesting to me bc, i feel like, normally, sora would hear the villain’s monologue and have a moment of revelation, a realization that could help the disney character he’s currently helping.

so this for example might’ve had sora’s “surprised” sprite and been more like “she couldn’t hide how she truly felt!” bc he’s spelling it out for both the beast and for the audience/player. In a “so that’s what’s going on!” kinda vibe

or even his “angry” sprite bc he’d be all “righteous anger” at the villain’s schemes, and just had him state “she couldn’t hide how she truly felt.” just a grim realization.

but—he doesn’t. Instead of maybe being happy for beast now that we’ve gotten an explanation for belle’s rejection, he gets this sprite. the “sad introspection” sprite lmao. it isn’t always a deep thinking sprite, sometimes it’s just sad but either way, he gets this sprite, and he gets this dialogue.

he’s almost talking to himself. it’s like that one frame from the meteor shower memory where he says “I really let [Naminé] down…”

No one needs me to overexplain this scene honestly. Sora’s clearly making a connection between Belle and Beast’s situation and his and Repliku’s, whether the connection is actually there or not (it definitely is, bc these worlds and characters are literally forged from sora’s heart/memories).

but obviously it doesn’t actually reflect repliku’s real life reasons for rejecting sora. At least not according to the game logic. This reflects Sora’s feelings and HOPES, honestly, for why repliku fights him, and what could hopefully come from it. He hopes repliku is rejecting sora for sora’s sake, not bc he genuinely dislikes sora now. (“So it’s not that he doesn’t like me—he just forgot?”)

But the reason i rambled so much about this isn’t to fucking explain the soriku parallel bc we know this already. I hella love this scene bc it’s like one of the few significant times Sora himself translates the parallels in his memory worlds to his real life. Sora himself is making the connection where usually the audience would have to interpret it themselves, IF it even occurs to the player to do so (as easy as it is lmao). It gives so much more weight to the in-game concept of the worlds being not only projections but reflections of the state of sora’s heart and emotions and i can’t get enough of it! my gosh

sora’s trying so hard to rationalize why repliku rejects him poor kid 😭😭😭😭 like the three times we run into belle, i think at least two of them belle always reacts happily on instinct, and blatantly lol, only to turn around and reject beast right after—

(also oop gotta mention the shared dialogue between belle and repliku again bc-)

(also gonna clarify those last two belle dialogues were not consecutive, i imagine meleficent and beast spoke between the first and second, but the point still mostly stands)

like belle is very obvious in how she loves beast but rejects him anyway, and i think it’s hilarious bc this is literally sora’s heart putting on a play and this is the shit it comes up with lmao.

sora’s deadass tryna write fix-it fanfiction and it’s so opposite of subtle, i love it

again, the thing here is that sora isn’t consciously doing it? it really is his heart, his hearts deepest memories and desires/feelings, given form.

and finally, sora himself.

Man.
