A small post-it note appeared on her hat

Oh my gosh you are adorable!! Selfishly I kinda hope you don't leave after x-mas!!!! I'm the name is scribbled out dad not dad said your name is Candy, yeah?

- C.A

She gets really excited at the post-it note, then sees the writing and her smile falls. She takes a moment to read it and gets excited again

"Oh, uh thank you? Thank you! Uh can you hear me right now or am I talking to noone.."

She looks at the note again

"I mean I'd assume you can hear me cause you asked a question on the note..."

The look all around to see if they can see whoever left the message

It sounded like someone was yelling "DAD" but, at the same time, it could have just been paper tearing as *name* moved stuff. Hundreds of post-it notes were around and on John

Silly doodle bc it was the first thing I thought of when I saw Pomni.

[the-muppet-joker]

My liege, how do you remain positive in a world so cruel?

There is a lot of despair right now. I do not wish to add for it. A lot of things can be taken from me, but I will remain hopeful and silly and filled with love for the people I care about. They will not take away my joy

Why are you apologising so much.

You're dead and all you have done is try to make amends.

I don't understand, how you could be so gentle. How you could have such little regard for yourself.

Nonetheless. Rest, now.

You're safe.

Alright so by this point I'm probably dead! SO what do we do when we have deep thoughts past 9pm that tell me I'm gonna die soon? We make a tumblr post!!! Earlier today I was named polites and that scared the shit out of me! So here's my last ditch attempt at clearing the waters.

I heavily doubt nico is gonna kill me but this is just in case he does. And if he didn't yippee! If he did...ah...

ANYWAYS

I'd like to start off by saying..

I'm sorry. I'm sorry to tim for being the first cause of your spirals...I'm sorry for not trusting you at first when you warned me about roach. I'm sorry that I had beef with Henry. And I'm sorry for not being able to fully give you all my love before my untimely end. Thanks for this kiss at least.

I'm sorry to Henry. I still think you're a jackass but meh. I shouldn't have been so hostile with no reason even though I can smell the red flags from a mile away. Congrats, you win...cause I'm like probably dead as fuck. I'd say treat tim good for me but I'm 99 percent sure you're just going to destroy the poor guy more.

Grim I'm sorry for calling you a habit kisser that's very mean and childish of me. You probably have decent reasons for why you do the things you do and you just need people and companionship..

Jay, thank you for being a great ass leader and I'm sorry I may have cause issues in the past. I'm sorry for dying on you

And nico...

I'm sorry that I drove you to kill me if you did...

Man this is gonna look silly if I lived ha.

[little-elf-candycane]

A post-it note appears on her forehead

CANDY!! ARE YOU OKAY?? You scared me :(

The text was jagged and written frantically

-C.A

She holds the note

"Yeah... yeah I'm okay. I'm sorry for Scaring you, that was the opposite of what I meant to do"

[littlesorrowbell]

I'd end this moment

To be with you

Through morphic oceans

I'd lay here with you

havin' deep and uncomfortable conversations around the christmas tree (rin itoshi x gn!reader)

(a continuation of this more ryusae-centric drabble) being unexpectedly vulnerable with you wasn't really on rin itoshi's christmas wishlist. but he does want to ask you something else, and it would really make his christmas if you said yes. you will get a sentimental feelin' when you hear voices singin', "let's be jolly, deck the halls with boughs of holly" || wc: 861 || tags/cw: hurt/comfort, background ryusae, itoshi brother drama (but they're working on it), rin is bad at telling people how he feels (he's working on that too) series m.list

you watch the video ryusei just sent you. it’s... of him slapping sae’s ass really hard, but after months of being stuck with them as your roommates, your humor is broken. you whip your head around, giggling, ready to show it to rin, but your smile fades when you see the crease between his eyebrows. that only happens when he realises he's forgotten to buy groceries, or…

or when sae texts him.

you set down the box of baubles tucked under your arm and take his hands in yours, brushing his hair out of his eyes so you can look at him properly. even so, he doesn't look you in the eye.

“everything okay?” you ask softly.

he blinks. you feel his hands clench into fists within yours. 

“yeah. everything's fine.”

“what did he say?”

"he wants to have lunch with me tomorrow.”

you furrow your brows slightly. “well, then you should go. i know we have plans, but we could always go another day.”

he nods, but he's got his brooding face on, still. there's something he's not telling you, and you're determined to get it out of him on this not-very-eventful saturday afternoon.

so you flop onto the ground by the christmas tree - the christmas tree the two of you are in the midst of decorating. wiggling your way into the shade of the lower leaves, you tug on his pant leg.

“well? join me!”

looking slightly bemused, he lays down on the floor and positions himself opposite you. admiring his beautiful eyelashes up close, you twirl a lock of his hair around your finger. he smiles at this, his breath fanning over your face.

you ask him point-blank, then, when he might least expect it.

“what are you afraid of?”

“nothing.”

“liar.”

you stare at him as seriously as you can, and he stares back with double the intensity. you’re locked in, you could say - it’s a shared tradition of yours that whenever you have a staring contest, winner takes all. the last cookie. choice of date location. or something you want to know.

seconds creep by. thirty. forty-five. a minute. a minute and fifteen. tears start to pool in your dehydrated eyes.

rin's gaze softens some.

"are we about to kiss?" you mutter weakly.

"give up, darling," he advises gently.

a tear runs down your cheek. "no."

he makes a tsking noise at your stubbornness, and slowly - very, very slowly - he closes his eyes.

"i'm scared that sae is going to treat me differently now that we're both grown up and he knows we can't ever go back to what we were before."

you blink.

damn, that's...

he opens his eyes. "happy?"

it’s like a punch to the gut when he says it like that.

"of course not," you mumble. "i'm sorry. i shouldn't have pressured you to say anything at all."

rin sighs heavily. "i think a part of me kind of wanted to tell you anyway, so."

"do you want to tell me more?"

he nods.

"when we were kids, it was all so easy. i looked up to him - i still do. we were together 24/7. we did everything together. and then he left for spain. came back a changed person. and okay, i get that he wants to reconcile and all, but it's just weird. he's really trying his best, and i am too. but we'll never be how we were in the past. it's too late for that."

"oh, honey..."

you want to reach over and hug him until he can't breathe, but then you remember you're lying on the floor. you scoot over to lie by his side.

"the important thing is that you're both trying really hard. you're talking to him more often, meeting him for meals - and sae really does want to make things right. i literally live with the man! he lets ryusei check his spelling in the texts he sends you."

"really?"

"yes, really. so you don't have to be worried. not at all."

“okay.”

you see the crease between his eyebrows has disappeared, and peck him on the nose. his lips twitch, and you see him open his mouth –

“move in with me.”

what?

“i want you in my life,” rin murmurs, abrupt, blunt, but that's how he does things, after all. “because i love you, and i want to be with you all the time.”

you're temporarily frozen in place, utterly surprised. but that quickly gives way to a rush of affection for your boyfriend, and you pepper his face with little kisses as he chuckles.

“i'll take that as a yes, then,” he says dryly, and you give him another kiss for his troubles.

you think of sae and ryusei, and pout. “i'm going to miss having them as roommates, though.”

“but would they make you breakfast pancakes every day?”

you pretend to collapse in his arms. “i’m going to wife you up one day, itoshi.”

he reaches for the switch on the christmas lights strung along the tree branches, and you look up, and your vision is filled with sparks of colour.

and in your little world, all is perfect.

this is what's happening btw (it probably wasn't very clear)

a/n: i never thought i would write for rin because for some weird reason i didn't like him when i watched his anime debut but like?? is he not so much like todoroki? (if todoroki was more edgy ig) but yeah i was prepared to write him as a sweetheart in this one
