Kore and Chazz in the year 2024,,,
Since yugioh GX is set in like 2004 at the start of the series and they're like 15-16 there, so like 35-36 (oh JESUS), and I think Chazz and Kore might be married at this point here. Idk mainly because I personally think it would take them a while to get married mainly cause Kore was not exactly one to be in a rush to get married. AND I COULDN'T BE BOTHERED TO SKETCH FUTURE DESIGNS IMMA CRY!!!
But here are some ideas my brain was scrambling:
⚡️ Chazz is a world famous pro duelist basically at this point, absolutely knocking it out of the park. He's finally where he feels like he's meant to be, yet without his brothers help. However, he's somewhat mellowed out as he's gotten much older, but his old personality still lingers. He's still The Chazz we all know and love at heart.
[MORE SHIT UNDER TO READ]
⭐️ Kore does also funny enough become a pro duelist, however that is somewhat a bit later yet she's managing just fine. Chazz is somewhat responsible for helping funding her (that was before they confessed the feelings but shhh).
⚡️ They currently have three kids (idk how the fuck they even agreed to three), with Kore being the fun and exciting parent but knows when to be stern and mature when things get a bit serious. Chazz is surprisingly the somewhat stern parent, however he's a great listener if his kids have problems and is better at giving advice. Plus he might let them get away with a few things it's all good.
⭐️ Kore absolutely misuses modern day internet slang so bad. She has tried this with her kids. Her kids are absolutely embarrassed. Chazz does not even bother, he's just confused. Like wtf is "GYATT"???
⚡️ Chazz ends up needing fucking reading glasses, his vision when reading up close got worse-
⭐️ For all Kore is the physically affectionate one, Chazz has to initiate the affection and love since...Kore forgets. This man just waiting for a smooch as she just obliviously walks past.
⚡️ I am not entirely sure what Chazz's relationship with his brothers would be currently, since originally I had it where they absolutely do not speak to one another. But, maybe they all met up once just to have a brief catch up??? As unrealistic as it sounds, but maybe after that they just all go seperate ways.
⭐️ Kore gets married to Chazz around the age of 29-30. Mainly because Kore and Chazz didn't see each other again till they were like 23-24, but it was mainly Chazz trying to initiate trying to form a bond again (ends up being a romantic bond). Chazz literally tried proposing to her several times and this dumb bitch was like "ehhhh can we hold it off till next year and ask me that again?" Then after a few attempts Chazz just did one last attempt out of frustration probably outside of a gas station and she just was like "hmmmmmmm okay sure <3 But could you put 20 on number 4- " Yeah. Very...romantic.
⚡️ Chazz cannot drive for shit. Kore is the designated driver. Currently has been trying to learn thanks to Kore but he kinda just says fuck it and goes. Nine times outta ten nearly crashes into the side of someone's car.
⭐️ Shopping trips tend to be a nightmare, mainly because Kore wanders off, and Chazz is fighting for his life on trying to find out where tf his spouse just fucked off to. Kore is found wanting to buy several mugs she found cute. Chazz is scolding her like a fucking parent and dragging her back to the shopping cart.
⚡️ Adding onto shopping nightmares, I feel like Chazz still is like "we getting the finer brands" and Kore on the other hand is like "yeah but they have a three for one sale- " then it ends with Chazz forcing the finer brands into the shopping cart. He's paying for the shopping tho so win win???
⭐️ Kore has dragged Chazz out for late night car rides a couple of times. Both going on late night drives, and getting food from drive throughs. Sometimes they'll park somewhere quiet and just chill on the car bonnet and watch the stars. It's a lame as it sounds, but Chazz just sorta let's Kore. I feel like Chazz does enjoy dumb things like these, granted not wanting to be woken up at stupid hours of the morning, but they kinda just star gaze and ramble on dumb shit or problems they're just feeling.
⚡️ Chazz I don't imagine is the most affectionate person during the series of GX, but thanks to Kore's gentle affection and her being slow and steady with Chazz, he grows more affectionate over time. Doing little things like hand holding, leaning against one another while they're sitting, Chazz constantly keeping Kore close - mainly so she doesn't wander off - or small brief head pats in public.
⭐️ Kore doesn't have much identity issues compared to the shit that happened after Season 3 of GX, but now and then I feel as if after what she's gone through she still struggles with her own image and doubts on who she is. Cause ya know, being used as some sort of sacrifice to be rebirthed as some horrifying deity close monster like some shit outta Fear & Hunger meanwhile your other friends are dead and your other friend is some Supreme King and there's some non-binary dragon monster spirit- Yeah that shit crazy. But Chazz does try help reassuring Kore a lot. She might still have the odd nightmares but Chazz immediately hugs her close and let's her silently cry it out. Once she's calm they'll chat after or unless Kore is that tired, then she'll doze back off.
⚡️ Idk why...but I feel like Chazz is somewhat the type of motherfucker that's like "you kids don't know how good you have it these days" or like "they don't Duel like how they used to" idk but it plays on my mind.
⭐️ Kore worries about how she raises her kids, as she doesn't want to cause strain or pressure on them like how her mother used to push her to be the best along with her siblings. Same with Chazz, he worries about how he raises his kids but he's a bit more self aware and doesn't hold unrealistic standards like his brothers did on him.
~~~~~~
As for like their kids, I doubt they'll ever be sketched. Originally I didn't think they'd have any due to their like fear of how they'd raise them. But I've pondered so just in case, then here even tho it really isn't relevant (both English and Japanese names):
🥀 Kenji Manjoume/Kaden Princeton
- First child
- Golden child yee yaw ass
- Gifted then severely burnt out in later years.
- Very soft and sweet wee lil' boy, grows to be a severely tired and irritable man.
- WhoreTM
- Top buttons on shirt always undone, cleavage. Slut behavior.
- Dramatic af, Kardashian style break down if shit doesn't go his way.
- Needs therapy but won't go. Says he's fine. Is not fine.
- Probably Bisexual. Man leaning.
- Fave ice cream: Cookie Dough.
💎 Himari Manjoume/Harper Princeton
- Second child
- Actually was planned. Ended up being a nightmare child (feral gremlin).
- Was the cutest baby, but underneath would attempt to set someone on fire.
- Tried cutting Atticus' hair once. In his sleep.
- Very chill in later years.
- Quiet and intimidating looking which makes people fear her (is actually super shy and easily flustered someone talk to her).
- Lifts. Has been passed down the beef genes (thanks to Kore and Riley's papa <3).
- Absolutely spoiled by Chazz when she was little. Deffo some form of Daddy's girl surprisingly....
- Can now easily pick up Chazz in later years. She strong. That ain't yo lil' girl Chazz you raised King Kong. Still loves her tho. Just is startled at how she can easily pick him up.
- Literally a beast duelist. Yet fumbles when her crush talks to her.
- Likes to dress very feminine. Very into skin and hair products.
- Very into girl's....is shy to even ask out.
- Fave ice cream: Mint chocolate chip.
✨️ Ekou Manjoume/Elijah Princeton
- Third child.
- Ultimate accidental child.
- Actually the most chilled baby to raise.
- Yet found ways to get into places he shouldn't like the balcony, cupboards, under the bed, on top of the closet,,?
- Very soft and shy little bab, a full on enthusiastic dumbass in later years.
- Zero braincells.
- Surprisingly academically super smart. Yet lacks common sense at times.
- Acts very flamboyant. Yet has ultimate rizz. Doesn't even realise he has rizz, he's a fucking idiot-
- Somewhat looks more like Chazz. Hilariously. Yet has more of Kore's enthusiasm and her life filled eyes. Probably will cause arson though.
- No filter. Says the most outlandish, borderline horrific down bad shit your poor ears have ever heard.
- Bisexual??? Somewhat woman leaning.
- Fave ice cream: HAH. He lactose intolerant like Kore....likes a lot of sorbet tho. Mainly lemon or lime flavoured desserts.
~~~~~~
This is all of my rambling I will croak now if anemia doesn't do it-

Ever since I was in high school (in the before times, in the long, long ago) I had dreamed of taking road trip. Just me, my car (in high school it was a Cadillac Hearse that got absolutely awful gas mileage and high school me used to bitch about gas when it went over a $1 a gallon), and the open road, but I never managed to do it. Sometimes it was money, sometimes it was lack of opportunity, sometimes it was just the fear of doing something new.
In my mid-30s I finally did it and let me tell you it was one of the best experiences of my life.
A few years ago (2022 to be exact) my boss made me take a vacation in the spring (mostly because I had two years of pto from not using it during the lockdown years, but also because he was legitimately concerned with my stress levels, but anyway) and that year I decided to take two weeks to see all three Meow Wolf locations in one big trip. (Convergence Station is the coolest one btw, with Omega-Mart a close second.)
I70 through Kansas is a zen experience if you make the drive at night. Endless fields of stars and farmland, accompanied by whatever podcast you queued up for the drive.
Visited family in Denver, spent a day at Convergence Station, and the drive to Santa Fe was like driving through a postcard!
The House of Eternal Return was neat (IMO it relies a little too much on backstory you can only really get from sitting down and reading a lot of the SCP-style documents lying around the house, but unless you rented the entire place for the day you're competing with dozens of other people who are also trying to read the same thing.), I stayed at this cool, fully restored Route 66 vintage motel called the El Rey Court (A++, would stay again), and then I was off to Las Vegas.
There's a trick i40 plays on you. You'll be driving through some incredibly beautiful but still harsh desert wasteland (I passed more than one husk of an abandoned building on that stretch of highway) and then all of a sudden you're in a lush green forest. It was seriously as close to passing from one Minecraft biome to another as you can get in real life. (I also stopped at Meteor Crater National Landmark. It was cool.)
Just outside of Vegas I got two incredibly singular experiences. The first was seeing a tumbleweed in real life for the first time. I swear, I was alone in my car and I said out loud "Holy shit they're real!!!" The second was driving through an actual sand storm. In hindsight I should have pulled over and let it pass, but no one else on the road was doing it, so I just crawled through it at 30mph.
I spent a few nights in Las Vegas. Visited Omega-Mart (super cool, I recommend it), watched Blue Man Group (also very cool, also highly recommend), got to see a Penn & Teller show live (a fucking dream of mine since I was a little kid!!!), and had the best meal of my life.
Honestly, before that trip if you told me there was a difference between a $20 steak from Longhorn and a $100 steak from an actual steak restaurant I'd have called bullshit. I was in Las Vegas, I figured "This is likely the last time I'll take a trip like this, fuck it, why not splurge."
Oh my sweet raptor christ! The $100 steak was worth every cent!
What followed was a day of driving through beautiful parts of Nevada, Utah, and Colorado, including the most nerve-wracking stretch of highway through the mountains (literally through them in one spot. The Eisenhower tunnel is a little more than a mile and a half of tunnel bored straight through the spine of the Americas). A brief stop to sleep, and then 14 hours straight on home.
It was a fantastic trip. Two weeks away from home, from work, from any responsibility, the first time off since 2019. Two weeks of moving to my own schedule and crossing things off of the bucket list.

Chapter: 1/1 | Word Count: 9255 | Rating: Teen and Up | Warnings/Tags: Summer Camp AU, Ridiculous Flirting, Light Angst, References to Addiction, Implied/Referenced Drug Use
This is fic is part of the @tarlosweeklyprompts March Word of the Day Prompts. SInce it is my last fic in that series, I have managed to fit in every word from March 11 through March 31.
March 11: Hate | March 12: Cold | March 13: Sun | March 14: Camp | March 15: Tasty | March 16: Watching | March 17: Needy | March 18: Secure | March 19: Sour | March 20: Fond | March 21: Letter | March 22: Apology | March 23: Partner | March 24: Anxiety | March 25: Path | March 26: Home | March 27: Family | March 28: Worry | March 29: Chaos | March 30: Midnight | March 31: Wedding
Under the Midnight Moon
It had been raining for three days at the ironically named Camp Sunny Day, and TK was miserable. The campers had arrived on a gray, drizzly Sunday and spent their first three days of camp sitting around in the rec hall or their cabins playing endless board games and getting up to trouble. Who could blame them? TK was so bored he was itching to raise hell himself. This was not what he signed up for when he’d taken the job of camp counselor.
In fact, one reason TK’s mother had pushed him to apply for the camp counselor job was to keep him out of trouble. The other reason was so that he could keep an eye on his little brother Jonah, who Gwyn had reluctantly agreed to let go. His mother had no reason to worry. First, because they were all trapped in close quarters with no privacy. Second, because of TK’s stick-in-the-mud, by the book co-counselor, Carlos.
Any time TK even hinted about finding creative ways to have fun, Carlos gave him a withering look and shook his head. “Did you even read the counselor manual, TK?” he’d ask.
The answer to that was no, of course, but Carlos didn’t need to point it out.
He should have known the entire summer would be a bust when his now ex-boyfriend, who was supposed to be his co-counselor, broke up with him and jetted off to Europe with his new boyfriend. Although new boyfriend was a stretch — apparently Alex had been cheating on TK since winter break. Instead of spending the summer looking at Alex in an adorable counselor uniform, or better yet, his bathing suit, TK was stuck in a rainy, miserable hell with eight 7-year-old boys and the most boring man on the planet.
At least Carlos was nice to look at, but even that seemed like a cruel joke.
TK tried to get to know his co-counselor but every time he tried to make small talk, Carlos gave him one-word answers. He’d been stuck in a cabin with the man for three days and all he knew was that Carlos was from Texas and he had just finished his sophomore year at NYU, where he was a double major in Latin American Studies and Public Policy. TK couldn’t help but wonder if Carlos’s reticence had anything to do with the pride t-shirt TK had worn the first day or the rainbow bracelet he wore all the time. Carlos was from Texas, after all.
After breaking up another fight over alleged cheating in Monopoly Jr, TK looked at Carlos and said, “I can’t take it anymore. We have to find a new game or something. I’m going to head over to the rec hall and see what else they have collecting dust on the shelves.”
“We should all go over to the rec center, if you’re going. I’m not supposed to be in charge of more than four kids at one time.”
TK rolled his eyes. “Listen man, I need just a few minutes alone, ok? I feel like I’m coming out of my skin. If you want to take a break after I get back, I’m totally cool with that.”
“All right,” Carlos said reluctantly, “you can go, but please hurry.”
"Can you chill? It won't take very long and hopefully I'll come back with something new to keep these kids occupied."
Carlos pressed his lips together and said nothing as TK walked out of the cabin.
Finish Reading on AO3

Question for you: how do you go about learning in an efficient way? I want to get a tutor or even find a friend, but I also am super nervous about who I talk to on the internet. Any suggestions?
Hi! Thanks for the ask, it means a lot! This question is gonna take a bit of unpacking.
For me, learning efficiently is all about keeping a consistent routine that utilizes SRS and mnemonics.
My study routine consists of three components:
Reviews. Staying on top of them is important to ensure you're actually memorizing the material rather than just seeing it. I always finish them before learning new content to make sure I'm not overwhelming myself.
A bare minimum daily amount of learning material to make sure I'm making progress
Immersion. Something unique and entertaining to stay motivated (such as watching an anime with Japanese subtitles, reading a graded reader, listening to a podcast or Japanese music, etc.).
Let's focus on the first two.
For both reviewing and learning, consistency is so important. Rather than cramming content all at once, do it in bite sized, manageable pieces more frequently. Sometimes I'll do reviews up to 3 times in a day, taking like 5 minutes each time, which is actually much easier than doing it all at once (which may end up taking 30 minutes simply because my attention span isn't that long).
Consistency is not only effective for reviewing, but for learning as well. This is because the our brains only take in so much information at once. Of course we can hack this a bit with memory devices, but still, lightening the load usually works better if you're trying to memorize something long-term. An example is, rather than cramming 30 words in one sitting and working on them for the next week, learn 5 every day and end up knowing 35 words (and well) by the end of the week. Besides, the less content you learn or review at once, the less intimidating it is, and therefore the less likely it is for you to procrastinate.
Be aware that this is for active study. It's perfectly okay to absorb more content outside of that through immersion!
The study routine I mentioned above would not be possible for me without WaniKani and Bunpro (not to be confused with Bunpo, which is an entirely different app which I heavily dislike because it locks practically everything behind a paywall). I like these two because they have a course already built in, in +1 order, and are designed to be efficient. And, you don't have to waste any time thinking about what you should learn or how you should learn it. I could write a separate post vouching for these two sites honestly, that's how much I like them. I pay the 5 dollars a month for each of them, but Bunpro offers everything except SRS for free, and WaniKani offers up to the 3rd level for free, which I highly recommend you try.
Another honorable mention is Anki. It's definitely a far more versatile flashcard system because you can make your own decks and download shared decks. There's a lot of amazing decks for Japanese, such as the Tango decks, which teach you grammar and vocabulary through example sentences. However there is quite a steep learning curve for it, and the iOS app is 20 bucks. It's free everywhere else though.
As for talking to people, I think it's important to consider what's making you nervous. The answer will help you know how to proceed. If you think it's because your Japanese isn't strong enough yet and you don't want to embarrass yourself, there are two options. Do it anyway, or wait a little bit and then do it anyway. However, the concern with the latter is that the longer you wait, the more your anxiety (and therefore avoidance) may grow. I say, let anonymity be on your side so that there's no serious repercussions if you mess up (not that there would be anyway), and just throw yourself in a call, despite your fear. Remember to be kind to yourself and stay positive. Mistakes are okay!
If your fear is simply people being creepy, then still use anonymity, and possibly try group settings, such as discord learning server, or paid tutors, such as on iTalki or Cambly. I recommend those because being in a group setting may help take some of the pressure off, and a professional tutor doesn't want to get low ratings and is far less likely to make you feel uncomfortable in any way. I'd avoid HelloTalk and Tandem unless you don't mind disguising your profile (otherwise you'll be blocking a few creeps here and there).
If you're interested in joining a server, please don't hesitate to give this one a try!
Here's my current minimum daily routine: Finish all reviews on Bunpro Finish all reviews on WaniKani Learn +2 grammar points on Bunpro Learn new lessons on WaniKani (it's okay if I don't finish them all at once, just like a bare minimum of 10 lessons). Learn +15 words on Bunpro Vocabulary (Currently in Beta) - so far I don't recommend this, Anki would most likely work better for vocabulary.
If you're still lost, please don't hesitate to ask a followup question and/or consider reading this article!

October 12, 2019: I only know that I want to live where you live
(previous play)
You can find more information about the authors, translators, content warning and additional information about the plays in the pinned post on our blog.
Attention! This play includes transgender topics. For more details see our interjection.
Saturday, 3:40 pm:
Matteo: ~has fastened the bag that David has packed onto his bike and goes to the pool~ ~arrives there at 3:20 and gets through the window without any problems~ ~has to think about what it was like the last time he was here, how much he wanted to find David, but also how angry he was that David had shut him out like that~ ~also remembers how relieved he was when he saw that David was okay, but also how frustrated he suddenly got~ ~thinks about how much has changed since then, how much they have grown and automatically has to smile a little~ ~goes through the door to the pool and simply has to whistle briefly~ ~then gets into the pool and goes to the deep end~ ~unpacks the blanket and spreads it out~ ~then starts setting the food and beverages onto it~ ~is also finished with that eventually and can see that it’s almost 3:30~ ~sits down on the blanket and waits~ ~eventually gets sick of that and gets up again~ ~walks around the pool a for a while~ ~then gets up one of the ladders again and sits down on the edge of the pool on the shallow side~ ~pulls his phone out~ ~can see that it’s already 3:40 and that there isn’t a message from David~ ~starts getting a tiny bit annoyed~
David: ~briefly went back to the flatshare between the two viewings, but apart from that, he’s been busy all day~ ~was a little annoyed at first during the second viewing because no one opened the door at first and he had to wait for 10 minutes until the three people showed up, but who apologized for being late ten times~ ~but was immediately offered coffee and has sat in the cozy kitchen with the three of them and chatted with them a little bit~ ~found that pretty nice and already hoped even then, that the room would be nice, because he really liked the three people~ ~then got a viewing of the apartment and was really thrilled~ ~thought that the flatshare would be really perfect: A nice apartment, nice roommates and not far away from Matteo, and to make a good impression and to get to know the three people better, he let himself be talked into having another coffee after the viewing~ ~lost track of time a little while chatting and at some point glances at the kitchen clock rather accidentally~ ~immediately jumps up when he sees that it’s already 3:30~ ~assures the three once again that he’s really interested in the room and that he’d be really happy if he would get it, and beams when they announce to him that they also really liked him and that he’s the last applicant and that the roommates will sit down together right now to talk about it and that they would then call him with their decision~ ~says his goodbyes and leaves the apartment~ ~texts Matteo on the staircase on his way down~
WhatsApp, David/Matteo: David: Sorry, sorry, sorry! I only just left the viewing! It was awesome! I’ll tell you later! If I hurry, I’ll be there in 15 to 20 minutes! Don’t leave! I’m on my way! I’m looking forward to seeing you!
~then hits the pedals and hurries to get to the pool quickly~ ~is pretty out of breath when he arrives there and realizes that he’s really completely out of practise~ ~looks at the gate in worry and hopes that his arms will even be strong enough to pull himself up on it~ ~tries it, but immediately feels a tugging in his chest and quickly lets go again out of fear of tearing something again~ ~murmurs quietly~ Fuck… ~walks along the fence and eventually finds a spot where he doesn’t have to use his arms too much to climb over it~ ~is glad that he manages it, but is annoyed that he lost so much time because of it~ ~quickly goes toward the basement window, climbs inside a little awkwardly and with a slight tugging and gets a little nostalgic on his way through the basement rooms~ ~thinks that he’ll also have time for that later once he’s with Matteo~ ~then tries to jog a bit, but is already pretty sweaty and breathless after only a short distance, therefore continues with a brisk walk and finally reaches the pool room~ ~smiles when he sees Matteo sitting on the edge and can also see that he’s set “the table” for them at the deep end of the pool~ ~quickly walks toward him and sits down next to him~ ~presses a - still breathless - kiss on his cheek and also wraps both arms around him~ ~murmurs into his shoulder~ Sorry sorry sorry…
Matteo: ~gets David’s message and tries to ignore the stab when he reads that the flatshare room was awesome~ ~thinks that this means that he should be here at 4pm~ ~tries to not be too bitter when he thinks about the fact that this means that he’ll sit around here by himself for half an hour~ ~tries to pass the time with playing games on ihs phone, but has to think about David and this flatshare room again and what it will be like if David really moves in there~ ~then sees that his battery is at 30 % and stops playing again because he can’t really concentrate on it anyways~ ~sees that it’s a little after 4 and briefly considers just packing everything up again~ ~but finds this too bitchy, after all, and just remains sitting there~ ~eventually hears footsteps and takes a deep breath~ ~turns around a little when the footsteps get closer and David appears~ ~sees that he looks sweaty and out of breath and feels bad for a moment~ ~but then also remembers that he’s been here by himself for over half an hour now~ ~grumbles slightly when David wraps his arms around him~ You’re not supposed to strain yourself…
David: ~leans his head against Matteo’s shoulder and can feel himself relax a little and his pulse calm down as well~ ~then hears his words, grins slightly, kisses his shoulder and looks at him~ ~says quietly~ That was an exception… I wanted to be with you quickly… ~feels bad that Matteo had to wait for so long, but doesn’t really know how to make up for it~ ~says carefully - also because he doesn’t know how worried Matteo really is about his physical condition right now~ I will try for better time management again in the future… or rather planning in general. ~sits up a little straighter again and lets go of him~ I somehow didn’t consider the gate and that I can’t get over it at the moment… I probably should have planned twice the amount of time for getting from the gate to the pool… ~grins slightly~ Although: The next time we’re here I’ll probably be fitter again… ~looks at him~ But I’ll definitely make it up to you somehow for having to wait here for so long… you get a free wish! Whatever you want! I’ll serve on you today or I’ll make a fool of myself or whatever else you can come up with…
Matteo: ~sighs slightly when David says that it was an exception~ ~looks at him a little skeptically when he says that he’ll try to plan better in the future~ Well, it’s difficult with viewings, isn’t it? It’s not up to you. ~then listens to him when he says the thing about the gate and thinks that they could have thought of this sooner~ ~only nods slightly when he says that he’ll surely be fitter again the next time~ ~looks at him when he wants to make it up again~ ~also thinks that usually he would have succeeded, but today this stupid feeling in his gut just doesn’t go away~ ~therefore waves it off~ Oh, it’s okay… these things happen… ~then thinks about the flatshare room again and wants to ask how it was~ ~then thinks that he doesn’t really want to know since it was so awesome and the roommates were so cool~ ~but then still asks~ And how awesome was the awesome room?
David: ~smiles slightly when Matteo says that it’s difficult to plan with viewings and briefly feels bad, because to some extent it’s his fault for giving in to the second coffee and a second round of chatting~ ~shrugs slightly and murmurs~ Well, I could have texted you sooner that I’ll be late… ~then looks skeptical for a second when Matteo denies him making up for it and says that it’s okay, but still smiles slightly, leans over again and kisses his cheek~ ~murmurs~ I’ll still try my best so that it won’t happen again… ~thinks that he’ll still somehow make up for it by serving on Matteo or by bringing him hot chocolate in bed later or something~ ~then hears his question about the flatshare room and beams immediately~ Super awesome! Well first of all, it’s also in Moabit - not right around the corner, but not too far away either! And the room is really nice: An old building and only a little smaller than yours is… but it has bigger windows, really bright! And the apartment is also totally nice! They don’t have a living room but a really big and comfortable kitchen/living room combination as a common room. There are two girls and one guy living there. Martin is already around 30 and doing his traineeship. Miri is in her early 20s and is doing an apprenticeship to become a makeup artist and the third one is Dana and has also only started uni now… she’s from some village in Hesse and has also only been living there for a short while. But they’re all really super nice! And tolerant… well, I told them pretty early on that I’m trans after Miri asked me if I’m taken. So I told them about you and then Dana said that she’s bi and so I figured I’ll just tell them - either they’ll immediately tell me that they can’t imagine me living there or they’ll tell me that it’s okay. ~grins~ It was okay. I got another coffee!
Matteo: ~shrugs one shoulder when he says he could have texted~ That’s also impolite… ~can’t help but to smile briefly when he kisses his cheek~ ~but then sees him beam when he asks about the flatshare room and immediately regrets having asked the question~ ~listens to him talking about it and sees him beam and that he sounds really thrilled~ ~presses his lips together when he realizes that David really doesn’t have any doubts at all and that he really hopes that he’ll get the room~ ~once again plans on pushing this stupid gut feeling away and forces himself to smile~ Well that sounds great! Hopefully they’ll quickly reach out to you so that you’ll know their decision. ~somehow doesn’t trust his voice but just hopes that it sounded at least honest~
David: ~looks at Matteo expectantly and can see that he’s smiling slightly, but still somehow feels like something is wrong - maybe because he doesn’t ask any follow-up questions and because somehow Matteo doesn’t look as if he really focuses on the topic~ ~then hears his words and smiles slightly~ Yes, they said that they’d probably decide today already. Apparently I was the last applicant… ~grins again slightly, but this time more insecurely, and then says mostly to somehow lift the mood again~ Probably they’re sitting there with pro and con lists right now or they have secretly installed some point-based system… for every answer they liked they gave a point or something… ~sighs quietly and shrugs~ But it definitely was the best flatshare that I have looked at so far… ~briefly thinks that the best flatshare actually is the one he’s living in right now, but quickly pushes that thought aside again~
Matteo: ~can feel something constrict inside him when David says that they’ll already decide today~ ~then hears David making up theories of them sitting together and making a decision~ ~takes a deep breath and thinks that he has to support him right now~ They’ll surely take you. If they already invited you to a second coffee… ~then swallows at his next words~ Well, then you’ll surely also be the best applicant for them, that feeling was probably mutual. They’ll surely call you very soon. ~feels like suddenly there are foreign words coming out of his mouth and swallows hard~ You can surely start packing up again soon…
David: ~smiles slightly when Matteo say that they’ll surely take him~ ~looks over to him and when he sees him, he somehow doesn’t feel like he really means what he just said~ ~lowers his gaze again and still murmurs a quiet~ Thanks… ~then presses his lips together when he says that he can surely start packing again soon and realizes how much he doesn’t really want to do that - not yet and not at all, really~ ~still humms in agreement and murmurs insecurely~ Well, it still would be 1.5 more months… ~briefly wonders if that’s too long for Matteo’s taste and if he maybe wants him to move out faster and realizes that everything constricts within him at that thought~ ~looks back at Matteo again and frowns slightly~ ~somehow feels like something isn’t really right, that he isn’t being honest to him about something~ ~lightly nudges his foot against his and asks~ Is everything okay with you?
Matteo: ~finds the fact that he said that he can already pack stupid himself~ ~doesn’t want him to pack, not now and not at all~ ~hummmms slightly when he says that it’s still 1.5 months until then~ ~looks down into the pool to the blanket and briefly wonders why they’re even still sitting here~ ~thinks that it would surely be better if they stopped talking about this stupid room search and finally start to eat~ ~was just about to suggest that when David nudges him~ ~hesitates slightly at his question and briefly considers just telling him~ ~but then remembers how David beamed when he told him about the room and quickly nods~ Yes, sure, everything’s okay… don’t we want to eat now?
David: ~sees Matteo hesitate at his question and that somehow only makes him more skeptical~ ~then hears his answer and his question and slightly shakes his head~ ~would normally accept and believe him that everything is okay, but has actually already thought for days that this isn’t the case and - if he thinks back on it now it was always when they were talking about viewings~ ~wonders if Matteo might want him to move out sooner or if he’s somehow pissed that he has less time for him because of the viewings~ ~therefore ignores his question about the food and instead says~ Something is wrong, Matteo… you’ve been weird for days… ~looks at him pleadingly~ Am I doing something wrong? Or does something else annoy you? I… no idea… why don’t you just talk to me? Maybe that’ll help…
Matteo: ~presses his lips together when David says that something is wrong~ ~should have known that he can’t pretend with him~ ~when hearing his addition, he can hardly believe that David really thinks that he’d do something wrong~ ~shakes his head~ You’re not doing anything wrong, you… you are great… you have everything under control… everything goes according to plan, right? ~looks at him and can see that he looks at him uncomprehendingly~ Man, no idea, David, maybe I just don’t feel like doing the plan? Maybe I don’t want everything to go according to plan and that you’ll move out in 1.5 months? ~can’t sit still any longer right now, because it finally burst out of him and he hops into the pool~ ~immediately turns around and looks at David~ ~just talks without thinking~ You’re super into it and super organized and it also looks as if everything would work out great… I mean, sure, our flatshare is also loud and annoying and Hans constantly comes in… but no idea, maybe I thought… when you no longer wanted to move in with Laura, that you maybe wanted to keep living with me? ~shrugs one shoulder~ ~suddenly gets braver~ Because /I/ want that! I don’t want you to move out. I don’t want to have to talk about if we’ll go to your place or mine again, I want us to always go to our place. And I want you to be home when I come back from work or that I’m home when you come back from uni and I want that your and my stuff no longer gets separated and I don’t want you to move into this awesome flatshare. And maybe that’s all selfish and stupid and too soon, but that’s what I want. And if the flatshare is too tight for you, then we’ll move out, ok? Or we don’t, I don’t care, I only know that I want to live where you live. ~takes a deep breath and suddenly doesn’t have words any more~ ~only stares at David and is suddenly really scared~
David: ~hears that he’s great and has everything under control and slightly shakes his head~ ~is slightly confused and can’t tell what this has to do with Matteo’s problem~ ~nods slightly when he says that everything goes according to plan, but still looks confused and waits to see if there’s another explanation~ ~then feels it somehow breaking out of him when he starts talking and feels his heartbeat speeding up when he says that he doesn’t like the plan~ ~at first thinks that he wants him to move out sooner, after all, but then hears the exact opposite and doesn’t understand anything anymore~ ~presses out a quiet “huh?” while Matteo jumps into the pool~ ~briefly feels the hope within him that he wants them to keep living together, but then hears something else coming from him at first and still doesn’t understand what he’s getting at~ ~then feels like his heart is going to jump out of his chest any second now when Matteo really and truly says that he thought he’d wanted to stay living with him~ ~wants to tell him immediately that he also wants that, but doesn’t even get a word in because the words are just tumbling out of him~ ~listens to him and suddenly has a lump in his throat when he realizes what Matteo’s speech is leading to, and can feel tears welling up in his eyes after only a short while~ ~thinks that he also wants all of that, that he’s always wanted it and laughs quietly and in disbelief~ ~slightly shakes his head when he says that this might be selfish and too soon or stupid and simply wants to be close to him right now~ ~wants to tell him that he also wants all of this, that it’s not stupid or too soon~ ~kicks off the edge and then jumps into the pool just when Matteo says that they can also move out and that he doesn’t care as long as he can live where he lives~ ~can feel that his legs are somehow wobbly from all the excitement and stares at Matteo in slight disbelief when he finishes his speech~ ~then sees that Matteo is looking at him almost a little scared and weirdly enough has to laugh in disbelief at first, because it’s so surreal to him that Matteo’s apparently scared of how he might react to that statement~ ~then beams at him with tears in his eyes and pretty happily and takes three quick steps toward him~ ~puts his hands on his cheeks and kisses him longer at first and then kisses him again twice in quick succession~ ~then looks at him, his hands still on his cheeks, still beaming and disbelieving, and croaks quietly~ I also want that… everything… I want you and I want to live with you and I want us to be able to come home and that the other is there… everything… ~slightly shakes his head and laughs again quietly and disbelievingly, because he somehow can’t believe his luck~ ~asks quietly~ How can you think that I don’t want that, as well?!? What am I supposed to do with an awesome flatshare if I can have you instead!?
Matteo: ~is still staring at him and can see that he has tears in his eyes~ ~is pretty overwhelmed at first, because he’s somehow so upset right now that he can’t really interpret it correctly~ ~then sees him beaming and can only think that this is one of the most beautiful sights before he already gets kissed~ ~can feel everything inside him unwind because that can only mean one thing~ ~then hears David’s croaking and hears him confirm it and simply beams at him~ Yes? ~then has to laugh involuntarily when David asks how he could ever think otherwise~ ~shrugs one shoulder~ Sometimes I’m just a pretty big idiot… ~wraps both arms around him tightly and kisses him again~ ~then leans his forehead against David’s and leaves his eyes closed~ ~needs this right now to calm down a little again~ ~then pulls away a little and beams at him~ Can we finally eat now and talk about how we want to do this?
David: ~laughs quietly and nods vigorously when Matteo asks again~ Yes! Yes, yes! ~beams when he says that he’s a pretty big idiot and nods vigorously again~ My pretty lovable unique idiot! ~kisses him again and wraps both arms around him~ ~squeezes him close and realizes that he’s still beaming~ ~wonders if he’ll ever be able to stop today~ ~takes a deep breath when Matteo puts his forehead against his and also closes his eyes for a moment~ ~tries to calm down but doesn’t really manage and realizes how his lips go into an automatic smile again and again~ ~is excited and antsy and can barely believe that Matteo really already wants that~ ~then laughs quietly when he hears his question and shakes his head~ I’m way too excited to eat… but you can… or have to… so that your stomach won’t be mad at me… ~wraps his arms around Matteo’s waist and walks to the deeper end of the pool with him like that rather awkwardly~ ~lets go of him there, but only to sit down, lean his back against the edge of the pool and to immediately hold his arms out for him again~ ~realizes that he’s still beaming and quietly laughs and shakes his head~ I can’t really believe it properly… I always thought it was too soon, but I actually also wanted it… had I known that this was the reason for your bad mood… we should have talked properly… we really still have to work on perfecting that… ~simply keeps beaming~ …but we have all the time in the world to perfect it… Awesome!
Matteo: ~laughs slightly when David says that he’s too excited to eat~ Too excited to eat? Weird… ~goes to the end of the pool with him~ ~immediately sits down next to him and cuddles close~ ~pulls the tupperware box with the sandwiches close and puts it down on his lap~ ~but hasn’t taken one out yet when David talks~ ~grins slightly when he says that they could still perfect the thing with the talking~ Well… I think we can still leave some space for improvements… ~but then gets a little more serious~ I somehow couldn’t tell you about it, it also wasn’t really a clear thought for a long time somehow… the apartment search just kept annoying me more and more and it took some time for me to understand what that meant… ~looks at him and then grins, after all~ …better late than never… ~then takes a sandwich, after all, and takes a bite~ ~says with his mouth half full~ Alright… staying in the flatshare or moving out?
David: ~wraps his arm around Matteo and immediately pulls him closer when he cuddles into him~ ~kisses his forehead because he simply has to be close to him right now, but loosens his grip a little a moment later so that Matteo can reach the food~ ~nods at his words and says~ Definitely space for improvements… what’s important is that we’re capable of learning… ~grins slightly into his beaming and thinks that the only thing that’s important to him is that together they somehow manage and do and work for all of this~ ~then listens to him and also gets a little more serious~ ~almost feels a little sorry that he didn’t understand sooner that Matteo’s bad mood was due to the apartment search, but is pretty glad that Matteo realized for himself what this means~ ~but also grins when Matteo looks at him and nods~ ~repeats~ Better late than never… ~smiles when Matteo finally reaches for a sandwich and quickly glances at the box to consider if he’s hungry, after all, but is really still too nervous and excited and postpones eating~ ~then hears Matteo’s question and listens inside himself, ponders the advantages and disadvantages and his own feeling and also wonders what Matteo might prefer~ ~eventually asks hesitantly~ Umm… our own apartment? ~quickly adds~ Really, I love the flatshare and I love our room… but in the long haul, there isn’t really any privacy or if there is then it’s only an empty apartment when we get lucky… I liked it back when we could choose. That we could go to Laura’s apartment when it got too much at the flatshare and that we could go to the flatshare when Laura was getting on our nerves… but we don’t have an alternative like that at the moment… then it’s rather up to chance if we have the flatshare to ourselves or not… and I… no idea… I think I want something for ourselves… something that’s only ours… a… a real home… only our stuff… only our habits… only us… ~slightly presses his lips together and shrugs one shoulder~ Is that okay? ~would also be willing to stay living in the flatshare for longer if that means that he can keep living with Matteo, but actually really prefers finding something for only the two of them~
Matteo: ~while he asked the question, he thought that he’d actually prefer their own place~ ~but also loves living at the flatshare, of course, and would also continue living there if David wants that~ ~but then grins when he hears David and nods immediately~ That’s totally okay… and I completely agree with you… I mean, I’d really miss the flatshare… but I’d also think it would be nicer if we had our own place… something that’s ours. ~grins again slightly and then considers~ But it could also be difficult to find a 2 or 3 room apartment within 1.5 months… and to tell the flatshare that they have to find a new tenant… Linn won’t like that one bit…
David: ~briefly looks at Matteo scrutinizingly when he agrees immediately to find their own place, but this time he can see that he’s absolutely serious about it and beams again immediately~ ~murmurs quietly~ Exactly… ~can feel his heart beat faster at the thought that this is really real, that they are really going to do that - their own apartment with pictures and photos and plants and a red rug~ ~hears Matteo’s ponderings and grimaces slightly~ God, right… Linn… she really won’t like that one bit… we’ll somehow really have to think of how we’re going to tell her… prepare a few words in advance or something… ~then shakes his head a little~ But we’re basically not really pressured for time at all… it doesn’t really matter if we move out in one month or only in four months… right? I mean, it works well with the two of us in one room and with the roommates, as well… then we can take our time with looking for a place… ~then grins~ Although… if we really find something for the 1st of December, then the advantage would be that we wouldn’t have to find a new tenant. The other day, Laura mentioned again how much she likes your room and that she’ll snag it for herself immediately if you ever moved out.
Matteo: ~nods immediately when he talks about Linn~ And we promised her that she’ll be the first to know if something changes… ~then listens to him and is confused for a moment about why it doesn’t matter when they move out~ ~but then understands it and has to laugh~ Right, we don’t really have to care that much about when Mia comes back… ~then grins when he tells him about Laura~ I can understand that… but that would be really nice, then Laura wouldn’t have to find something new, either, and this way, we could also put Hans and Linn in a more favourable mood… they both really like Laura… ~pushes another bit of sandwich into his mouth~
David: ~humms in agreement when he remembers their promise to Linn, but then groans quietly and laughs~ I can’t tell at all how she’ll react… ~simply hopes that it’s some kind of reaction that won’t leave him completely helpless~ ~grins and nods when Matteo understands why they aren’t pressured for time and nods again when he says that Laura would be perfect as a new tenant~ ~wraps his arms a little more around Matteo again and squeezes him close~ ~kisses his back and murmurs~ We’ll manage all of it somehow… worst case, Laura will have to stay with someone for one or two months… or Mia will move to Alex’ for one or two months or something… ~grins slightly and can feel this feeling of happiness rising inside him when he thinks about the fact that they are really doing this~ ~says quietly and a little out of context~ And then we’ll buy the red rug…
Matteo: ~hummms slightly~ She doesn’t like change… we have to promise to visit her often… ~then nods when he says that Mia can also stay at Alex’~ Yes, we’ll manage it somehow… ~then laughs slightly when he mentions the red rug and looks at him~ That’s not a must… I was just joking around… everything should fit, right? ~stretches his head a little so that he can kiss him~
David: ~humms in agreement to his words about Linn~ We’ll do that anyways, right? I’d also somehow miss the chaotic bunch otherwise… ~frowns slightly when he says that he was only joking about the red rug and grins slightly~ ~returns his kiss and then says~ If you want a red rug, then you’ll get a red rug! And all the other things. The pictures on the walls. And you’ll get fresh herbs in the kitchen… and we’ll distribute my plants in the apartment… ~elbows him lightly and laughs quietly~ Now those aren’t dreams, Florenzi… now it gets serious… okay… we might have to save some money for big things like a big couch… but still…
Matteo: ~nods immediately~ Yes, we’ll do that anyways… ~then smiles when he says that now it gets serious and all the things they’ll get~ Yeees, now it gets serious… and we have my armchair and the bean bag and maybe for now we can take the couch you guys had? Laura won’t need it anymore if she stays at the flatshare… ~reaches for a bottle of water and drinks a sip and then hands it to David~ Okay… you already looked up information about apartments… how much does a 2 room apartment not too far from Moabit cost?
David: ~nods when he talks about the armchair and bean bag and that for now they can take a couch from the old apartment~ Yes, for starters it’s definitely enough… worst case, our visitors will just have to sit on the floor… and for now we can also take the table and chairs from the old apartment for our kitchen - although I’d also like new ones one day… something wooden would be nice… ~takes the bottle of water, drinks a sip and then realizes that he’s a little hungry now, after all~ ~reaches for a sandwich and considers when he hears Matteo’s question~ Hmmm… well I’d say that we’d somehow make due with the money. I don’t think that the basic rent itself would be much more than two separate flatshare rooms. But the utilities will probably be more because it’s only two people who pay for power, internet and such stuff… but I already talked to Mama if she could give me a little more money in the beginning… until I find a side job… but maybe we’ll also be lucky for once and we’ll find something that’s perfect and cheap… ~was just about to bite into his sandwich when he feels his phone vibrate~ ~puts the sandwich aside, pulls it from his pocket and frowns briefly because he doesn’t know the number~ ~answers~ Schreibner, hello? ~listens, smiles slightly, then shakes his head and puts his hand on the back of his neck~ ~opens his mouth twice trying to get a word in, but only manages on the third try~ Oh man, Martin, that’s really super nice that you decided on me… but… ~then listens to him again and shakes his head~ No, I don’t have another place… not yet… but my boyfriend and I just decided to move in together… ~beams broadly while he tells him about it and keeps listening to Martin~ Yes, thanks! I hope you have a lot of luck with the next candidate. Say hi to Miri and Dana, ok? … Yes, you too… bye… ~ends the call and reaches for his sandwich again~ ~grins at Matteo~ Well… too late I’d say…
Matteo: ~nods at his words about the seating~ Yes, we’ll manage it all… first we need an apartment… ~hummms slightly when he says that they’ll manage the rent~ Yes, so, well I could also tell Mama to tell Papa to give me more money… all the money doesn’t have to come from your parents… ~then sees David pulling out his phone and sits up a little straighter so that David can talk~ ~grins slightly when he hears that he would have gotten the room~ ~beams even more when David declines Martin’s offer~ ~grins at him broadly when he ends the call~ But I was right, they would have picked you…
David: ~actually wanted to say that they really only have to talk about money once they really found an apartment that they can get when his phone rings~ ~sees Matteo grin after he ends the call and laughs quietly~ ~teases him a little~ But earlier you said it in a compleeetely different tone of voice… ~bites into his sandwich and leans a little more against the pool wall again~ ~gets a little more serious again, is quiet for a moment and then says quietly~ I’m glad that you spilled the beans… just in time… just imagine they would have beaten you to it… ~but thinks that no matter when and how, he would have declined any offer, regardless of how nice the room is, for the possibility of moving in with Matteo~
Matteo: ~grins a little when he teases him~ There was an altogether different mood earlier… ~leans against him again and wraps an arm around his middle~ ~nods slightly when he says that he’s glad that he spilled the beans~ Me too… and otherwise I probably would have told you after you would have gotten the room… eventually it would have spilled out of me… ~presses a kiss to his neck and grumbles slightly~ Or I would have thrown myself in front of the moving truck eventually…
David: ~nods in amusement when Matteo says that it was a different mood~ Of course! ~wraps an arm around Matteo when he leans against him again and presses a kiss to his hair~ ~listens to him and humms quietly and in agreement~ ~smiles when he gets a kiss on his neck and then laughs quietly at the image of Matteo throwing himself in front of the moving truck~ Highly dramatic, Florenzi… noooo, it was better this way… and less complicated… ~takes another bite off his sandwich and then has to think about the fact that while it was more uncomplicated like the image of the moving truck, that they still somehow could have made it easier for themselves~ ~says quietly~ Still, the next time we’ll talk sooner if something bothers one of us, okay? ~smiles slightly~ I mean, I did find your speech great and I’d actually also like it again in writing to remember it… but you still didn’t feel too good over the last few days… so… ~says even quieter~ You can always tell me anything that bothers you, okay?
Matteo: ~laughs slightly~ Yes, that would have been highly dramatic… movie-worthy. ~looks at him when he gets quieter~ ~understands what he means, but isn’t so sure that he can promise him that~ ~says quietly~ I’ll try… ~then hears that he found his speech great and has to grin~ I don’t know if I can manage to say the same thing again so that you could write it down… ~slightly shakes his head~ No, not really, but… we had agreed on it and I thought you like the arrangement the way it is and therefore… well, I know you told me to think of myself as well, but somehow that was different…
David: ~humms in agreement when Matteo says that he’ll try~ ~knows himself that it isn’t always that easy, but still adds with a small smile~ Me too… ~then also has to grin slightly~ Noo, /you/ have to write it down for me… ~gets more serious again~ I listened to you and all the while I only thought that I want that as well… that I also want you to be there when I come home from uni and that our stuff will no longer be separated and all of that… ~then nods slightly when he says that they had agreed on it~ Yes, true… but I felt similar to you. We had agreed on it and I thought that you like it that way and therefore… ~sighs quietly~ I already realized some time ago that I want to move in with you… properly. And the prospect of “one day in the not too distant future” was enough for me… ~grins slightly~ Although sooner rather than later is quite in my favor… ~then shakes his head a little when he says that thinking about himself was different in that case~ Why that!? You didn’t even know what I wanted… and even if I didn’t want it… then maybe we would have been able to find a compromise or something…
Matteo: ~grins and shakes his head~ I don’t remember everything I said, sorry… ~but then smiles slightly when he says that he also wants all of that~ ~hummms slightly when David says that he’s realized it some time ago~ ~does wonder why he never said anything in seriousness in that case~ ~tilts his head at his last question~ Hello! YOU also could have said that it’s not about the distant future for you, but also about the now… ~looks at him~ If it had been the other way round… say, one day we said that in 2022 we’ll go on holiday to… no idea Denmark… and then in the beginning of 2022 I’ll start planning the holiday… and that’s also okay for you, but you’d actually rather go to… um… Norway… then you’d also say: “No, sorry, Matteo, could you please drop all the planning, I’d rather do that”?~
David: ~pffs when he says that he doesn’t remember what he said~ ~also tilts his head slightly when Matteo says that he could have said something and briefly thinks that he actually assumed that Matteo knew that, but that he’s also somehow right~ ~then hears his comparison, frowns briefly and then shrugs his shoulders~ Well, maybe not thaaat directly… It also depends on how much you’re looking forward to Denmark… and how much more I’d actually want to go to Norway. No idea… maybe I’d mention something like the fact that Norway is also really great or something… or I’d go to Denmark with you and suggest that we’ll go to Norway the year after… ~sighs quietly and shakes his head a little~ ~pulls Matteo to him again and presses another kiss to his head~ I’m sorry… maybe I really could have said something as well… I somehow assumed that it would be obvious… I mentioned it so often… that it hopefully won’t be in the too distant future… or that I want to buy a plant with you once it’s time… or that I don’t want to wait ten years or so… we joked around about what the apartment is supposed to look like… I thought that this might make it obvious that I definitely want that… no matter when…
Matteo: ~tilts his head when David says what he would have done~ Yes, that sounds very reasonable… ~then smiles when David pulls him close again and wraps an arm around his middle again~ ~then listens to him and frowns slightly~ Well, yes, in the not too distant future… that’s really very vague… and we really did rather joke around… that showed that you want that theoretically, one day… but when it got serious then we always had this plan and you also always said that you liked it the way it was and so on… ~looks up at him~ But it doesn’t really matter now, right? Now we managed it. ~smiles broadly~
David: ~smiles slightly and nods~ True… that does sound rather vague… in the not too distant future entails a pretty wide spectrum… ~but then shakes his head a little and laughs quietly~ Well, joked around… I was actually pretty serious about a lot of it… and for me it wasn’t actually really in theory… ~looks down to him when he looks up and can’t help but to also smile pretty broadly when he hears his words and sees his smile~ True… that’s the main thing… ~thinks that the rest really doesn’t matter and that this weird fate found its completely own way again to lead them to what they both want~ ~leans down to him and kisses him tenderly~ ~murmurs a little disbelievingly but incredibly happy against his lips~ We’ll move in together… ~thinks that voicing it out loud like that makes it sound a lot more real and he feels a strong tingling of anticipation in his gut~
Matteo: ~hears that he was actually serious about almost all of it and is briefly surprised about it~ ~briefly wonders what else he might have been serious about or not and how he’s supposed to know that, but doesn’t really think about it any further because then David is looking at him like that~ ~only smiles and was just about to pull him close when he already leans over and kisses him~ ~rolls a little more onto his stomach and nods~ We’ll move in together… ~wraps an arm around his neck and kisses him again and again~
David: ~smiles into the kiss after Matteo repeats his words and tenderly runs his hand through his hair~ ~then realizes that they are really sitting around a little uncomfortable and quietly murmurs into the kiss~ Lap… ~then tuggs slightly on him so that he sits down in his lap and grumbles happily when Matteo really does so~ ~wraps an arm around him tighter and lets his other hand wander over his cheek and hair while he deepens the kiss~ ~realizes pretty quickly and pretty frustrated that he wants more and pulls away from the kiss a little breathless~ ~leans his forehead against Matteo’s and murmurs half frustrated half amused~ And we can’t even properly celebrate this incisive decision with sex…
Matteo: ~hears his grumbling and feels his tugging and gives in without thinking about it~ ~sits down in his lap and kisses him again~ ~grumbles when David pulls away from the kiss and then sighs at his words~ We’ll add it to the list… so far, we already have to make good for “you’re back from the hospital sex” and “yeah the flatshare is empty sex” and “we’ll move in together sex”… ~kisses him again briefly~ As soon as you get the okay from the doctor, we won’t leave our room for three days… ~laughs slightly~
David: ~grumbles in frustration when Matteo says that they’ll add it to the list and grins slightly when he lists everything~ ~adds in amusement~ And don’t forget about the approximately 5 to 6 times “we’re yearning so much for each other sex”… ~gets kissed again and smiles at him~ ~then nods at his suggestion~ Or one week… ~then grins again slightly and says quietly~ And once we have our own apartment then we’ll never have to lock up again during sex… and we’ll never have to be incredibly quiet again because Laura is next door or Hans is sitting on the couch folding laundry… and we could even leave the bedroom door open if we wanted to…
Matteo: ~grins slightly~ Well, those go without saying… I only listed the “we’re celebrating something” ones… ~then laughs slightly when David describes what it could be like when they have their own apartment~ Oh my god! Sex with an open door? I think we’ve never done that! Sick! ~runs a hand through his hair lovingly and briefly kisses him again~ ~but then pulls away from him again and sits down next to him again~ ~pulls his phone out and waves it around~ Wanna look up apartments? ~grins slightly~
David: ~grins at Matteo’s words and then also laughs quietly when he does~ ~then gets another kiss and holds onto him for a moment afterwards when he realizes that he wants to get off his lap~ ~struggles a little with him, kisses him again and then lets go of him~ ~then sees him pull his phone out of his pocket and wiggles his eyebrows at his question~ Definitely… the plan is still to move out by December 1st… ~scoots closer to him so that he can also look at the phone~ ~realizes that he’s getting excited again and beams~ Oh, so far we only talked about the furnishing, but not about the layout… So, would you prefer a tub or a shower? And do we need a window in the bathroom? Would really be nice, right? ~laughs quietly~ I mean, if only to air it out… but not just for that… a bright apartment would really be awesome… so a lot of windows… or big windows… and do you want a balcony? If we get one with a balcony, then we’ll definitely need our own kiddy pool in the summer for foot baths! And if it’s an old building again then I’d really love that! Or would you rather have a modern building?
Matteo: ~nods when David says that the goal is to move out by December~ ~opens the page of an apartment-search website~ ~then looks at him when the questions are tumbling out of him and immediately falls in love with him again~ ~smiles and kisses him~ You’re cute… well, I don’t have tooo much of an opinion on any of it… can’t we just see what there is on offer in Moabit and then we’ll see? ~looks at him questioningly~ Well for now only to see what we could even afford? Of course an old building with a balcony would be nice, but if we can’t afford it then I’ll also take something else… or is there anything that you definitely want to have?
David: ~smiles when Matteo kisses him, but then grimaces somehow in a mix of skepticism, embarrassment and amusement when he says that he’s cute~ ~but doesn’t comment on it and instead listens to him~ ~nods at his suggestion and at the rest of his words~ ~then tilts his head at his question and thinks~ ~finally shakes it and grins slightly~ Only you… I don’t care about the rest… ~looks at the phone and waits for Matteo to type~ ~says in the meantime~ So in Moabit and affordable is good… if the apartment also happens to be bright and in an old building then that’s even better and if it has a tub and a balcony, then it’s perfect… ~puts his chin down on Matteo’s shoulder so that he can see better~
Matteo: ~gives him the secretary’s-office-look when he says that he only needs him~ You’ll get me in any apartment, you loon… ~then opens his phone again~ Okay, then we’ll first enter everything we want… and if there aren’t any good results, then we’ll dial back… ~enters the stuff into the search filters~ ~tilts his head and opens the first result~ Man no, that’s super inconvenient… huge living room and all other rooms are super tiny…
David: ~grins when he gets the secretary’s-office-look and shrugs one shoulder~ Tadaa and I’m already happy! ~presses a kiss to his cheek and then also looks at the phone~ ~leans a little closer to the phone after Matteo has entered the details and clicked on the first result and looks at the layout of the apartment with him~ ~nods at his words~ That’s really the case with a lot of apartments… especially with new buildings… or generally in buildings that were built after the 70s… with old buildings it often looks different… ~looks at him~ Although that doesn’t really matter for us, right? I mean, theoretically, only the wardrobe and the bed have to fit in the bedroom… we can also put the desks into the living room… ~looks back at the picture~ Let’s have a look at the rest of the photos… ~waits for Matteo to swipe through the gallery and hmms~ Yes, okay, the bedroom really is very very very tiny… I wonder who comes up with that layout… well, but on the other hand, it’s very bright… ~then looks away from the phone and at Matteo again~ You know what else would be nice? A kitchen that fits a dining table… so not one of those tiny kitchens…
Matteo: ~nods when he says that this is the case with a lot of apartments~ Yes, this loft layout… but I also think that such huge living rooms are somehow not really cozy… although, it’s actually okay at Alex’… but no, I find it somehow stupid if everything’s so open and so on… ~then swipes to the rest of the photos~ The bedroom is really tiny… ~then looks at him~ Yes, that would be really nice… not always having to eat in the living room… ~then clicks back and scrolls further down the list of results~ That looks like an old building… ~clicks on it~ …and it isn’t tooo far away from the flatshare… looks quite nice…
David: ~smiles when Matteo agrees to the big kitchen and really hopes that they somehow get lucky~ ~knows that it’s really not too easy, but then remembers that they really aren’t pressured for time and that it doesn’t really matter when they move~ ~then hears that Matteo already has his eyes on the next apartment and concentrates on the display again~ ~smiles and nods~ ~murmurs~ Open the photos… ~smiles even more and presses a kiss to Matteo’s shoulder~ We can definitely call that one… umm… hang on… I can log in - then we can put it on the list of favorites… or do you also have an account?
Matteo: ~clicks on the photos~ I like that one better than the previous one… ~laughs slightly and shakes his head~ No, I don’t have an account… I’ll send you the link, hang on… ~sends David the link via WhatsApp~ I’ll already keep looking… ~goes back to the list~
David: ~pulls his phone from his pocket and opens the link Matteo has sent him~ ~logs in and puts the apartment on his list of favorites~ ~smiles briefly when he sees the other apartments and rooms on his list of favorites and simply deletes them~ ~then leans over to Matteo again and keeps looking with him~ ~they keep looking for apartments together for a little while longer and put some of them on the list of favorites~ ~eventually, he pulls the gummy bears closer and opens them~ ~holds the bag out to Matteo so that he can also have some~ ~eventually grins slightly~ So we already have a bit to do on Monday… maybe we’ll already manage to call some of them before work and uni… if not then I have a free period at 12 - I can keep trying then. And maybe you could in your lunch break?
Matteo: ~has made an account for himself, after all, so that they have the same list of favorites~ ~never thought that it would be so much fun to look for apartments and to think what could fit and what couldn’t~ ~immediately also grabs a wine gum when David holds them out to him~ ~nods immediately~ Yes, we should definitely manage to call them… ~then looks at David~ When do we want to talk to Linn? Today already? Or tomorrow?
David: ~beams when Matteo says that it’ll definitely work with calling in the lunch break, because he realizes that now they are really starting to plan~ And appointments are always possible after you get off work… or on the weekends… and if one of us has made an appointment, then he immediately texts the other so that we don’t double book, okay? ~then smiles when he looks at him, but then gets more serious at his question~ ~checks the time and sees that it’s almost 7 o’clock by now~ I’m afraid she’ll be gone soon… she has this meeting with her colleagues today, so it’ll have to be tomorrow. We’d best do it first thing tomorrow morning… ~smiles again~ And then tell the rest of the flatshare and then the guys and the girls. They can all immediately start keeping an eye open! ~laughs quietly~ Abdi and Carlos will be thrilled that we’ll stay living together now, after all!
Matteo: ~nods immediately~ Yes, we’ll do it like that… ~humphs when he says that Linn will be gone soon~ Okay, tomorrow then… we’ll bring coffee to her room… ~then grins when he talks about the others and about the boys~ Carlos will be very relieved… he somehow immediately has some break-up fantasies if something doesn’t go according to plan… ~then looks at him~ And? What will Alex say?
David: ~nods at his words about coffee for Linn and then laughs quietly~ I just wanted to say “and breakfast” but then she’ll know straight away that something is wrong… ~thinks that it’s actually the exact opposite and that /everything/ is okay and looks at Matteo lovingly~ ~then sighs quietly when he’s talking about Carlos~ But weirdly enough it’s only when it’s about us… if Jonas and Hanna don’t see each other for a week then it’s no big deal… ~then exhales when Matteo asks about Alex and shrugs~ Congratulations? No idea… I think he’ll think it’s good if it’s what I want… I mean, it’s not thaaaat much of an irresponsible decision so that anyone could say anything against it, is it? And even if, it’s about us. Okay, it’s somehow early after 5 months… but we’ve basically been living together from day one… if it’s what we both want I don’t really care what the others are going to say… ~looks at him and smiles before he finally asks~ What will Jonas say?
Matteo: ~grins and shakes his head~ No, coffee is enough… ~shrugs his shoulders~ I think Carlos is just more attached to us as a couple than to Hanna and Jonas as a couple… he and his vibes, the first thing he texted after you met the boys for the first time was how much the vibes fit… ~smiles slightly~ ~then grins when he talks about Alex~ Alex is also really different in that regard, but… who knows if he and Mia will ever move in together… ~shrugs one shoulder~ But I don’t actually care how the others are doing it… we’re us and that’s it… ~shrugs one shoulder again when he asks about Jonas~ I think he’ll be happy for us… and besides, our own apartment means that there’s another place to meet up… ~laughs slightly~ We only have to be careful that there won’t constantly be Brudis sitting on our couch…
David: ~looks at Matteo in surprise and a little amused when he tells him about Carlos and the vibes~ Seriously!? I also think that the vibes fit… ~leans over to him and presses a kiss to his shoulder~ ~reaches for his hand and entwines their fingers~ ~tilts his head a little when he talks about Mia and Alex~ I think Alex would like it if Mia moved in with him one day… but will Mia just give up her freedom and independence so easily…!? ~slightly shrugs one shoulder and then nods at his next words~ ~says quietly~ Yes, same for me. To each their own and however it fits… ~then smiles pretty broadly and can feel this tingling of happiness in his gut again~ And for us it fits pretty well once again… well, that we both want it at the same time and neither of us says “Oh no, only in ten years or so”… ~then nods at his words about Jonas and laughs quietly at his words about Brudis on the couch~ Or we’ll just have to find a good way to kick them out again smoothly if we want to have our peace again… ~leans his head against the pool wall and is quiet for a few seconds before he says~ I actually like the thought… that our friends like to visit us and want to spend time with us… ~can feel that he’s especially fond of the image of “us” - the thought that for the first time he’ll have an apartment that’s only his - and Matteo’s, of course - not his parents’, not Laura’s, one that’s not part of a flatshare - and the thought that there’s the possibility that he might also properly arrive at a place and not “only” arrive with a person and that he can feel at home~
Matteo: ~grins slightly~ Yep, I think so, too… ~squeezes his hand when he takes it~ ~then laughs slightly when it’s about Mia and Alex again~ I think Mia would also like to, but she doesn’t really dare to just yet… ~then grins at him when he says that it fits them~ Yes sure, with us it luckily fits really well… ~kisses him quickly~ ~then laughs slightly when he talks about kicking them out~ Oh that also works un-smoothly… I think they can handle it… ~then looks at him lovingly when he says that he likes that thought~ Yes, so do I actually… ~thinks that then it’s /theirs/, their apartment, their furniture, exactly the way they want it~ ~then looks at David again and suddenly thinks how breathtaking it is that, since David entered his life, he dares to do more and more, to really say what he wants and that he even gets it~ ~first David himself and now the moving in together~ ~there was not one bit of doubt for him, not one second of hesitation, he just also wanted exactly what he wanted~ ~leans to him and kisses him again, simply because he can and wants to~ ~smiles slightly and says quietly~ This will be nice.
David: ~grins when Matteo says that they could also kick out the boys unsmoothly~ Okay, that’ll be your job, then… I’ll observe how you do that and maybe then in a few years’ time I’ll also be able to do it unsmoothly. ~smiles when Matteo says that he also likes the thought of visitors at their place~ ~then somehow feels that he’s looking at him and looks back~ ~smiles slightly and briefly wonders what he might think right now~ ~but leans toward him when he realizes that Matteo wants to kiss him and tenderly returns his kiss~ ~smiles again when he hears his words and can feel this tingling in his gut again~ ~humms in agreement and then sighs quietly when this weird feeling, that he knows from their holiday, overcomes him~ ~says quietly~ Somehow pretty surreal again… if someone had told me about that half a year ago… ~laughs quietly and shakes his head~ ~then looks at Matteo again and says with a loving grin~ You upended my life quite a bit, Florenzi!
Matteo: ~smiles slightly when David says that it’s pretty surreal~ Yes, it is… but then it also isn’t… surreal is somehow so odd, don’t you think? And I actually find us pretty normal and real and so on… ~shrugs one shoulder~ I mean… no idea… surreal somehow sounds as if it would be gone again any second… I don’t like that… ~grimaces slightly and scrunches up his nose because he doesn’t know if he expressed it right~ ~but then smiles at David’s following words~ Upended sounds better… I’ll take that, too… because you also upended my life, Schreibner.
David: ~looks at Matteo questioningly at his words and grins slightly when he says that surreal sounds odd~ ~but then smiles more when he talks about them being normal and real and nods~ ~then quickly shakes his head~ True - I don’t like that, either… ~thinks how best to explain it~ It’s more like… double-edged somehow. In the here and now and with you I think we’re totally real and normal and perfect and I’m simply super happy… and then I think about my life before you and… then it suddenly feels almost too good to be true, you know? Back then I just never would have thought that I’d ever get something like that… you, love, sex, holidays, everyday life with you and now even our own apartment… ~grins slightly when Matteo says that he likes “upended” better~ Okay, then we’ll take that… ~bites back on the comment that he hasn’t done much and instead leans over again to kiss him~
Matteo: ~hmmms slightly when David explains again what he means~ ~still doesn’t like something about it but can’t explain it~ ~something just doesn’t fit for him~ ~but then simply nods because he can’t explain it~ ~would find it pretty sick if he had said that and shown him that he still doesn’t know about all the things he did for him and all the things he showed him~ ~therefore simply kisses him again and again immediately afterwards~ ~then grins again slightly~ ~takes a look around the pool and suddenly has to laugh~ That’s the third big event now that’s taken place in this pool…
David: ~can see Matteo looking around the pool after the kiss and does the same~ ~but then hears him laugh, has to smile automatically at the sound and looks at him again~ ~beams pretty broadly at his words~ Well, the pool simply loves us… he sends out positive vibes… we should ask Carlos if he can also feel them… although… ~shakes his head and laughs quietly~ No, I still really like the thought that no one else knows about the pool… it belongs to only us… ~leans his head against the pool wall again and smiles to himself~ ~eventually says~ I think the pool is really made for big events… I think from now on we should always come here when we have something to celebrate… when we found the perfect apartment, when we have our uni certificate in our pocket… or when we signed our first employment contract… anniversaries… we could actually also get married here once it’s time…
Matteo: ~already shakes his head when David says he should ask Carlos~ ~was just about to tell him no when David already does himself and smiles immediately~ Exactly… I also like it that it’s only ours… ~then looks at him when he’s thinking aloud about what else they could do here~ Yes, I’m also in favor of that… I think that we should come here more often… and it’s perfect for celebrating events… ~then grins when he talks about getting married~ No, if we get married here then we’d have to invite the people here, Schreibner, you didn’t think ahead… ~grins and nudges him slightly~
David: ~smiles when Matteo says that he also likes the fact that the pool is only theirs~ ~then nods~ Yes definitely more often! Surely today’s big event was a sign of the pool to us: “Oh, finally, here they are again! I somehow have to make them see that I bring them good luck and that they therefore have to come here more often - I best deliver them a new big event!”~ ~briefly pats the floor of the pool~ Don’t worry, we’ll be back more often again in the future… ~then looks a little downcast when Matteo points out his error in reasoning~ Crap, right! ~says toward the pool floor~ Sorry, but you won’t get the wedding… ~then looks back to Matteo and smiles~ Then we’ll have to find a similarly cool place for our wedding - that won’t be easy!
Matteo: ~has to laugh when David talks for the pool~ Yep, that’s exactly how it must have been. ~then also pats the pool floor~ We didn’t forget you, don’t worry… ~then grins when David realizes his error in reasoning~ ~swallows briefly when David continues talking about a wedding~ ~wonders if that’s just musing around or like with the living-together thing something that David is really serious about and that he’d marry him tomorrow~ ~that thought makes him a little nervous~ ~especially if all of that is actually still so surreal to him~ ~takes a sip of water from the bottle so that he doesn’t immediately have to say anything~ ~but then grins, after all~ Oh, we’ll find something cool…
David: ~grins when Matteo also talks to the pool floor and realizes once again how much it means to him that he goes along with his craziness~ ~takes the water bottle from him after he finished drinking and also takes a sip while Matteo is talking~ ~lowers the bottle and nods with a slight grin~ Sure… we’re creative… definitely something with water… ~takes the bottle cap off him and screws it back on~ ~then sits down cross-legged and looks around on the picnic blanket~ Okay… wine gums are all finished… chocolate’s all finished… one more sandwich… and two more beers… ~looks at Matteo~ What does your stomach say? Is he still craving dinner or will he make due with sandwich and beer?
Matteo: ~nods when he says something with water~ Yes, or just something without water… empty bathtub or something… we’ll all gather in the bathroom and then get into the tub… ~grins and shrugs one shoulder~ ~then looks at him expectantly when he looks at everything so closely~ ~then grins~ I’d say we’ll share the sandwich, finish the beer and then we’ll go home, right? We could get a pizza on the way or something?
David: ~laughs at Matteo’s suggestion~ Okay… new aspect for the apartment search: A big bathroom! Or we can only invite 6 people to the wedding and I don’t want to be the one to choose who’ll attend… ~then leans over to get the beer from the backpack~ ~says in the meantime~ You can have the sandwich… my stomach is still busy with the chocolate and the wine gum. A sandwich would be too much now… ~opens the two bottles of beer and hands one of them to Matteo~ ~looks at him and smiles~ ~takes a deep breath and says~ Okay… we’ll have a toast… to us, of course! And to finding the perfect apartment! To the pool and big events… ~smiles slightly~ …and to you being so brave again to shout out what you want… ~holds the bottle out to him for a toast, but waits to see if he wants to add anything~
Matteo: ~laughs slightly~ 6 people is simple… your mother, my mother, Jonas and Alex, Laura and Hanna, done. ~grins slightly~ All the others will get a live feed to the living room. ~shakes his head a little~ Your stomach is still busy? Then we’ll have to train him a little… ~but grins and reaches for the sandwich~ So no pizza later? ~accepts the beer~ ~smiles when he hears his toast~ That’s the pool… it causes me to scream… ~toasts with him~ To us! ~takes a sip and then kisses him again~
David: ~smiles at his plan~ Yes, okay… that sounds good… well and we still have to somehow fit in Bea… she’ll definitely have to marry us… ~then grins slightly when he talks about his stomach and says~ Yes, pizza will surely still be possible later… I first have to manage to get over the fence again and then cycle to the flatshare… I’m really out of training and then I’ll probably be totally out of energy once we get back… then a pizza to strengthen up is just the thing! ~grins when Matteo says that the pool causes him to scream~ Not that I’m really a fan of screaming, but so far, yours has always served the purpose… ~clinks his bottle against Matteo’s~ To us! ~also takes a sip and smiles when he gets a kiss~ ~but then grumbles because it’s only one kiss and scoots closer to him again to kiss him again~ ~then they finish their beers and keep imagining how they would furnish their apartment if they won the lottery~ ~they eventually pack up and start to make their way back~ ~he really has some difficulties to get out of the pool and the building and back over the fence and curses the lack of his arms’ moving abilities and that his muscles are so weak~ ~is already looking forward to the doctors’ okay to work out a little again~ ~they cycle back to the flatshare, get a pizza on their way back and then they have a cozy evening and are dreaming and planning of their apartment together~

Well, it happened, I saw AB again June the third in Tilburg and what can I say? It was awesome. Yes, my little recap is a little late but I also had Gojira on the agenda the next Tuesday, wild week. So yeah as I'm currently suffering in front of a ventilator to bat off the heat, if you do want to hear my thoughts feel free to read further!
I arrived a little bit later at the venue than I originally planned - lets say a good 30 minutes - due to construction and Google maps not knowing what to make of that BUT at last I arrived, about three and a half hours before the doors opened, and there where only about 10 other people in line so lucky me!
I'll fast forward through the boring sitting in line in the sun on the curb turning my ass into mush, though I did get to chat with some amazing people. AB fans are the best. There were about 20 people with VIP tickets, so a spot at the rail was out of the question - also I wanted to get a shirt before the gig started because I would miss my train home if I hung around too long afterwards - but once the doors opened and I secured a tour tee, I managed to land in-between 3/4 row at the front. Sweet! (Thanks great grandfathers who gave me long legs so I could powerwalk as fast as possible. Security didn't want us to run you see.)
Mammoth WVH opened once again and they kicked ass! There were some sound issues during the first few songs, so Wolfie's voice and the guitars were kinda muddled, but that got fixed real quick and it was a great set. The crowd got pretty into it.
Mammoth's setlist;
Mammoth
Mr. Ed
Epiphany
Like a Pastime
Stone
Distance
You're to Blame
Another Celebration at the End of the World
Don't Back Down
You're to Blame was my personal favorite, a real stomper live! And be sure to check out their latest singles if you haven't already.
And then it was happening. The lights dimmed for a second time after waiting around for few and though the majority of the people around me were already in great mood, you could really feel the crowd come to life. Are there going to be more puns in here? Probably because I can't help myself ha.
I stood smack-dab in the middle, with no tall concert goers in front of me, so I had a perfect view when AB took the stage. This would have been the perfect opportunity to take some pictures but me being me, well, I'm always way too swept up in the moment and the music to even think about taking out my phone haha.
Anyhow, here's AB's set list and I'll just go through the moments that stood out to me or I will be rambling for the upcoming hours;
Silver Tongue
Addicted to Pain
Ghost of Days Gone By
Broken Wings
Sin After Sin
Coeur D'Alene
Burn it Down
Cry of Achilles
Watch Over You
In Loving Memory
Blackbird
Come to Life
Stay
Isolation
Metalingus
Encore: Rise Today
Slip to the Void will likely be my most favorite opening song ever, but Silver Tongue is a close second. Just hearing that intro riff alone already hypes me up, followed by Addicted to Pain, if anyone in the venue wasn't paying attention already they sure do then!
youtube
(Warning for some flashing) Video by Dany In Flight [x] If I'm correct in my assumption this was the same lady I spoke briefly to while waiting in line, she came all the way from Italy!
Broken Wings was beautiful and hearing Sin After Sin again was a treat. The biggest surprise for me however was hearing Coeur D'Alene. COEUR D'ALENE. Yes, I was aware AB pulled this one out of the box during their US tour, but man I'm so happy they played it in Tilburg as well. ABIII is my favorite AB album so this was very special to me.
Myles took a little break and Mark took over the vocal duties for Burn it Down and he absolutely crushed it. You go Mark 💜
youtube
Video by _josdecross [x]
After the amazing Cry of Achilles, it was time to get emotional with a triple kick to the face. I'm not ashamed to say my waters were rising a little when Myles serenaded the crowd with Watch Over You, followed by In Loving Memory and then, of course, Blackbird. Boi, if I ever have kids or grandkids, I will make sure that song gets passed on down because it will never get old. What a masterpiece.
The emotional portion of the concert quickly got pushed aside by the energetic Come to Life, another all time favorite of mine (and the crowd, from what I could hear haha). A fan had requested earlier if AB could play Stay that night, and they did! Which was very sweet.
What followed were the bangers Isolation and of course Metalingus - were we all obediently went down on our knees (I fell over a few times because my legs were pretty fried at that point lol) for the classic "jump up and down like a kangaroo during the breakdown".
We got treated with Rise Today as the encore - chanting "we want more" with the crowd likely doesn't have any effect whatsoever but I like to think that it does haha.
And then it was over. Is there a thing such as post-concert depression? Man those hours went by quick. Picks were thrown out, setlists in the form of paper-planes; the usual mayhem. I'm terrible at catching anything because I'm always afraid I'll get accidentally socked in the face. There did however bounce something off my shoulder, which I assumed was a pick from Brian because a millisecond later the guy standing next to me snatched it from the ground. Better luck next time, but thanks Brian lol. And then the drumsticks were flying and I took cover once more.
Going to concerts is still new territory for me and even though it was only the second time I saw AB live, being a big fan aside, they killed it. What a band. What an amazing, talented bunch of musicians. The crowd was having a blast and AB too seemed to really enjoy and revel in the energy. Even Myles commented at one point "There's always a great vibe when we play here." My voice was gone from loudly singing along to all the songs and I probably slept for about 12 hours the next day.
Compared to the first time I saw them in Amsterdam last year December at the Ziggo Dome, I prefer this gig with the smaller venue. As much as I love that AB gets to play bigger venues in Europe, selfish me wish they could stick to smaller ones like the 013 in Tilburg.
Here's a pic of the fabulous tour tee that I scored;
I've been a fan for over 14 years now and to be able to see my favorite band live two times in the span of only 7 months is crazy lucky to me. If you have the opportunity to see them, do it! You won't regret it.
Thanks AB for the beautiful music and I hope to catch them again on their next album cycle!
#alter bridge#**#i love this band so much man#no bs just great music and thats what it all should be about

𓇼Update𓇼
Genuinely cannot remember the last time I made one of these, but it was probably in like November or something. Anyways let's just jump in.
✩ Still living in the church that belongs to my grandma. Also due to a Situation we moved our best friend in with us as both a safety precaution and because that's always kinda been the plan.
✩ Unemployed at the moment. Would prefer to not be but we're working on that.
✩ Went to see my aunt and uncle (and cousins) for Christmas because my best friend and husband were out of town with a friend of my husband's. Had a good time, ate lots of food, aaaaaand got the fucking flu from my cousin lmao. Spent the next week+ laid up in bed with a fever, constant migraines, and the obvious coughing/vomiting issues. I have never had the flu before so I felt like death. And I probably ate like... 12oz of food the entire time so I've lost weight again (drat).
✩ Between being sick (from Dec. 26th, 2023 to January 4th, 2024) and now, I got about... A week of peace? And then the weather in my area dropped into the single digits! And the church has TERRIBLE insulation, so suffice it to say we could LITERALLY use the back hallway as a freezer. We've been practically hibernating up until yesterday when the weather warmed up a bit.
✩ Meanwhile, I also found out I'm going to be a big sibling! My mom found out she was pregnant on Christmas. I was kind of ambivalent on the subject because like... How bizarre is it to find out that, at 24, your parents have finally managed to conceive another kid?? But then mom sent me a video of her sonogram and I had Strong Feelings lmao.
✩ Also, both of my parents have good jobs in Arizona! My mom is making somewhere around $20/hr doing clerical work at an RV dealership, dad is making closer to $30 as an RV maintenance tech at a different dealership. As a result, we have my next point.
✩ On Christmas Eve, my parents and I discussed how my husband and I would be getting to Arizona. They're adamant about helping us get there since we weren't supposed to have to come back to Illinois to begin with after my car broke down in Missouri, and my dad made (what I thought was) an off-handed joke about me just setting up like 50 interviews out there and he'd pay to fly me out there to get to them. Well, he wasn't joking! He was 100% serious, as we discussed the following day.
✩ So in the midst of being sick and hibernating through the shitty weather, I've also been applying to a crapload of jobs in Arizona. I've got a phone interview for one tomorrow and I'm in talks with some other jobs about setting up interviews in-person.
✩ On that note, my parents jumped to getting things set up. I've got a flight booked for February 10th!
✩ ... Which means I have a crapload of things to get done in the next three weeks, like packing, helping our best friend get his license (that was also always the plan, I was just hoping to let him get his practice in warmer weather lmao), and setting things up so my husband and I (hopefully) won't have simultaneous breakdowns about being 1600 miles apart for potentially several months while I'm working and saving money to get it and our best friend out there as well.
✩ As always, my commissions are open and I appreciate any support y'all can give lol
✩ That's all? ✩

Bear & Bunny
→Idols: Lee Haechan & Na Jaemin (only picture that I could find with Haechan & Jaemin, sorry Jeno Stans)
→Requested: yesss Hi!!!! I wanted to know if you could write a something along the lines of dancing to bachata with jaemin and haechan and it gettin really steamy and you end up speaking in Spanish with them and it really turns them on 😳😳😳 and they end up really whiny and needy . Haechan gets bratty and grinds up on y/n and jaemins whining starts to get annoying so y/n needs to put them in the toilets but someone walks in so they have to be quite but end up leaving to finish off at home and y/n ends up punishing them at home by overstimulating them and making them cry by straping them up with ropes and putting viberators on them while you just watch them and messing with the controls but ends up feeling nice and takes it off them and cuddles them oop thanks in advance:)
→Genre: Smut
→Word Count: 3k+
→Warnings: semipublic sex , three some m/m/w (there is mxm action in here), shibari, deepthroating, edging, brat!Haechan, sweet!Jaemin, overstimulation, sweet aftercare, degradation, female masturbation, oral (m receiving), fluff towards the end,
→Synopsis: Dancing with your boyfriends was a great date idea, having sat through multiple dance practices and knowing that they could keep up. But after your brat affects your good boy you need to take matters into your own hands
→A/n: this took a good minute for me to write, and it took me a while to get a consistent theme going for the writing, I still am not too proud of it, but I like the ending well enough so I'm still happy with it. this is my first mxm anything on Tumblr I believe, so I really hope that you guys enjoy it. if you did please like, reblog, or donate to my Ko-Fi in my bio. If you like this you can request they are open for NCT, Enhypen, SVT, and Treasure.
You loved your boyfriends, it was glaringly obvious. No matter how much you jokingly rolled your eyes at their sometimes extreme displays of affection when it came to you, or jokingly threatened to change the locks on your apartment so that they would finally sleep in their respective dorms it was clear to see. You were completely and undeniably smitten by them, and who could blame you? Haechan and Jaemin were two of the sweetest people you know, and always knew how to woo you. Maybe that’s why the both of them courting you was successful when you had zero plans to date an idol.
Maybe also do to the rare elaborate surprises they planned for you when both of their schedules coincided enough to have a day free. Like when they convinced the company ( and Chenle) to rent out - Haechan’s expensive ass idea - Lotte World for the three of you on your three month anniversary , or when they take you on a really sweet date that causes them both to tease you relentlessly over your crying, like the time when they created the perfect picnic area - Jaemin’s idea - curated with your all three of your favorite snacks and drinks just to gift you promise rings on your two year anniversary along with a picture book - Haechan’s idea again, occasionally his ideas are cute, and cheap- of random moments from dates over the years.
Their complicated and meticulous dates always made any that you planned pale in comparison. Despite this the boys were always ecstatic when you convinced them to take a day off for a date night. This time you were able to book a practice room - with the help of Taeyong - for two hours and were planning a special date that you hoped would even be on the sama radar as theirs. You were going to teach them how to dance. Not just any dance, bachata. They were constantly wanting to know how to learn Spanish, so why not teach them a special dance?
That was the original plan at least, spend one hour teaching them, and one hour dancing along with them. You’ve sat through many of their practices, including some routines that were bordering on inappropriate for their fan base, so you knew that they would be able to keep up where friends and exes failed. Sure, the dance tended to be more on the sensual side with how close you had to be and the soft music, but you really only had dancing in mind when you planned this.
However, dancing along with them with Jaemin behind you, he likes back hugs and holding you around your waist, and Haechan in front, he gets handsy when he thinks you can’t see them, and you were starting to regret it. The first hour passed quickly, both of the boys catching on quickly due to their lifestyles, so when you joined them the three of you moved in sync. Despite your hips being pressed against Haechan, and Jaemin’s grip on you bordering on painful, they were perfect dance partners despite the unconventional method. The three of you were in casual conversation and you were grateful that they had agreed to dance with you.
“Mis buenos chicos. Tan orgullosa de ti.” Jaemin started to giggle, squeezing your waist twice while Haechan’s jaw dropped, causing a giggle to escape you too. You’ll never understand why the boys are so amazed hearing you speak Spanish. Hell, they speak three languages almost fluently to your measly two.
“What’d you say? Say something else in Spanish.” Haechan’s voice started taking on the whiny tone that you ‘hated’, pouting all the while.
“It sounds so nice.” Jaemin spoke up from his spot behind, placing his head in the crook of your neck so you could feel his breath ghosting over the sensitive skin. Having both of their attention on you tended to be intense, especially now having them pressed so tightly against you with the sensual music playing softly over the speakers.
“Los mimo demasiado a ustedes dos.” You hated how easily you gave in to them, but their shared amazement made it a little worthwhile. “You guys are always so amused. It’s not that impressive.”
“It’s sexy when you speak Spanish.” You smacked Jaemin’s arm jokingly, giggling when his grip on you tightened. Surprisingly through this whole exchange you’d hadn’t stopped dancing, faltered temporarily at the beginning but were still smoothly dancing against each other. Though this dance isn’t supposed to be sexual you couldn’t help but admit that having two extremely attractive men dancing against you, and ones that you were lucky enough to call your boyfriends was starting to get you worked up, and you could feel the fire starting to grow in your stomach.
Haechan is known for his bratty behavior with his groupmates on camera, if only his fans knew how far it truly goes. Like now, his knee sliding in between your legs, purposefully pressing against your clothed cunt. You know that all he wants is a reaction out of you if the smug smirk on his face is anything to go by. Jaemin wasn’t a brat but something about Haechan made him want to act up. That’s the excuse he’ll try to use when you inevitably punish them later. For now all Jaemin can think about is relieving the building pressure in any way possible, even if it means rutting against you accidentally causing you to grind on Haechan’s thigh. That pulled a shaky gasp out of you, and made you come to your senses.
“Stop.” They instantly backed away from you, giving you enough space to take a deep breath without the smell of both of their enticing colognes. “What do you think you’re doing?”
Jaemin had the nerve to at least look ashamed, staring down at his shoes while holding his hands behind his back. Haechan on the other hand wanted to irritate you, smug smirk still painting his face.
“I wanted to have fun. Wasn’t that the point of this?” A pout replaced his smirk, but his tone told you everything you need to know.
“Bunny? Any excuses?” Jaemin only shook his head quickly, knowing that they wouldn’t help the situation. Smart bunny.
“You still want to have fun, bear?” Stepping closer to Haechan you grabbed his chin harshly, forcing him to make eye contact with you and the brat inside of him faltered a little. Knowing that he wouldn’t like whatever outcome.
“I do. If I can’t have fun with you then I'll just have fun with Jaemin. He’ll let me touch him.” Laughing you pulled your hand back, before smacking Haechan’s cheek. A shocked gasp left his mouth from the impact but it got him to finally shut up.
“We still have 20 minutes until your manager comes to take us back to your dorms. I’m going to the bathroom down the hall, you two will pack everything up and meet me. You have five minutes.” Turning around you briskly walked out of the room, smiling when you heard the two of them scrambling to get their stuff. First thing you did was set the timer on your phone for three minutes and 30 seconds - who said the boys really needed the full five - the second thing was making sure the bathroom was completely clear. Last thing you needed was for there to be another scandal about your relationship with the boys.
Excitement ran through you as the timer ticked down, closer to their inevitable punishment. It was down to the last 30 seconds when the bathroom door opened and Jaemin peaked in. Once Jaemin saw you he quickly walked into the bathroom followed by Haechan with 17 seconds to spare.
“Good boys, you’re on time at least.” Jaemin shyly smiled while dropping his bag and kicking it to the corner. Haechan followed suit, not wanting to get in any more trouble than he already was.
“Lock the door bunny. Haechan, on the counter, hands on your thighs. No touching.”
Jaemin locked the door while Haechan hopped on the counter, a pout evident on his plump lips but he knew that he was in no place to argue. Jaemin crossed the room in two steps, tugging his lip in between his teeth while wringing his hands nervously. Grabbing his shirt you pulled Jaemin closer to you until he was pressed against your chest, wrapping one of your arms around his neck and pulling him down into a kiss, ignoring the way that Haechan whined at the lack of attention.
Kissing Jaemin was always soothing even when he knew he was in trouble. Jaemin allows you to lead, constantly relenting all control to you. It wasn’t in him to try and change the tempo or take it further. He was at your mercy and only moved at your pace, sliding his tongue over your bottom lip only after you’d already nipped at his. At first the kiss was awkward, too nervous over where to put his hands, still wary of his punishment but they finally made their way to your waist. Sliding your hand up into his hair you tugged lightly, swallowing his high pitched moan. When Jaemin started to rut against your leg, finally losing the slightest control was when you pulled away.
His blown out eyes, and bright blush lining his cheeks made you want to devour him but you had to pace yourself, and him. Last thing you wanted was for him to cum before you got home and truly played with him. Grabbing the top of his sweatpants you looked up at him, waiting for his subtle head nod before pulling them down to the top of his thighs. Just enough to release his pretty cock.
“This isn’t fair.” Haechan whined from his spot on the counter. How dare you forget about him? Sitting here not getting any attention while Jaemin got everything. Wasn’t this supposed to be a punishment for the both of them? “Why is Jaemin getting all the attention from you? He was bad too.” Haechan was falling right into your trap and didn’t even know it.
“You're right. Maybe you should give Jaemin attention instead. Come here.” Haechan pouted again, realizing that he still wasn’t getting any attention from you before jumping off of the counter and replacing your spot. “You play with Jaemin all that you want, but don’t let him cum.” Haechan being a complete cum slut, already wanted to complain despite getting exactly what he wanted. You were no longer playing with Jaemin, he was.
“That’s not fair.” Haechan whined again but shut up when he saw you rummaging around in your bookbag. He went quiet when you pulled out the pretty vibrating plug, one of his least favorite toys due to your tendency of plugging him before leaving the apartment and sporadically turning it on until his knees turned to jelly.
“Think about it like this. If you make him cum then you’ll be wearing a vibrator until we get home.” Haechan rolled his eyes before turning his attention to Jaemin, looking up at him with his pretty brown eyes that constantly got him what he wanted outside of moments like this. Jaemin gulped loudly when Haechan placed his hand around the base of his cock, not lube or spit, just the roughness of his palm as he started to slowly move his hand.
“How does it feel bunny?” Jaemin wanted to whine at your taunting tone, used to your near constant praise for him.
“G-good.” You giggled at his voice cracking. Haechan never stopped working him over his hand, now placing his pouty lips around the head, causing Jaemin’s hand to fly from his side where he had them balled up by his side to Haechan’s hair, fisting it tightly as his mouth dropped open. Haechan’s tongue darted out and licked over the slit, tasting the salty pre cum as he suckled on the tip.
There was one thing that Haechan did best, and that was tease. Which is why you weren’t surprised when he pulled off Jaemin’s cock, and licked a broad strip up his balls to the head. A loud moan left Jaemin’s mouth, which quickly multiplied and reverberated off of the tiled bathroom walls when Haechan took as much of his cock down his mouth. Jaemin’s cock may have been longer than Haechan’s, but it was skinnier, enough to satisfy you but still leave you wanting more. Explains why Haechan easily made it to the base, pubes tickling his nose while he took a deep breath to relax his throat, the smell of Jaemin’s favorite body wash and slight must from dancing for so long. Haechan looked up at Jaemin as best he could, causing Jaemin’s hand to drop from his hair down to his cheek, stroking it sweetly with his thumb. Jaemin spared you the first glance since Haechan started blowing him and wasn’t shocked to see you sitting on the counter, one leg propped up showing off that you were two fingers deep in your soaking wet cunt, eyes just as blown out as Haechan’s. Smiling sweetly at him you pulled your fingers out, rubbing them over your clit.
The moment was interrupted by someone rattling the bathroom door, causing all three of you to nearly jump out of your skin. Haechan gagged quietly as Jaemin unconsciously bucked his hips. Silence fell over the bathroom as none of you dared to move until you heard the sound of quiet cursing and footsteps heading back down the hallway. Haechan pulled off, coughing lightly as he wiped the drool and tears off of his face.
“Too close. Let’s get home so I can punish you two properly.”
-
The boys deserve their punishment, Haechan actually craves them. You couldn’t allow them to think that if they teamed up against you they could be in control, that they were suddenly the doms in the relationships. Especially when they looked so pretty as your subs.
Like right now, the both of them were kneeling on your carpeted bedroom floor. Both of them tied up - Jaemin with his favorite light pink rope, Haechan with his favorite dark red - the ropes contrasting their skin tones perfectly. It was a simple tie, something to keep their hands bound behind their back, looping over their chest just for a little more stability. A pair of scissors was resting on the dresser safely out of their reach unless they used their safe word. That wouldn’t happen tonight though.
The boys were playing with their favorite toys, Haechan’s vibrating plug and Jaemin’s vibrating cock ring, and the results were already better than you thought they’d be. You’ve already turned down the vibrations multiple times, postponing both of their orgasms until you felt that they deserved it. Climbing off the bed you cupped both of their cheeks, relishing in their flushed faces and bright blushes spreading over their chests. Jaemin’s moans were music to your ear, almost harmonizing with Haechan’s needy whines, both of them wiggling around in their ropes. Jaemin’s moans were beautiful but you needed him to be quiet, both of them actually, if you didn’t want the neighbors to hear.
So you did. Pulling your hand away you slapped Haechan on his right cheek, feeling a twinge of arousal in your stomach at his loud gasp at the feeling. Placing your hand softly on his cheek you turned to Haechan, rubbing his bottom lip with your thumb.
You couldn’t help but feel warmth blooming in your chest at the sight in front of you, Haechan nuzzling into your palm as you rubbed his cheek, soothing the burn from the slap while Jaemin opened his mouth, taking your thumb into his mouth.
Seeing the sight of your two beautiful boys, completely vulnerable to whatever you decided to, red marks appearing on their skin where the rope loosened enough to rub over the exposed skin. Lips puffy and bright red due to their kissing and biting. Knowing that they trusted you enough to let you punish them, neither safe wording even if their knees are getting rubbed raw, and they were shaking from the constant edging.
Though you were punishing them for trying to team up against you, truthfully both of your boys held all of the power.
“So pretty. My beautiful baby boys.” Jaemin ran his tongue over the pad of your thumb, sighing as he sucked on it aggressively. “Wanna come for me?” Pleads of ‘mommy’, ‘please’, and ‘need to’ left Haechan’s lips, Jaemin letting out a garbled moan around your thumb.
“Cum for me then.” Reluctantly you sat back, letting go of them and turning the settings up.
They always know how to put on a good show, even when they’re not trying. Like now, Jaemin was the first to cum, squirting all over his thighs and lower stomach with a loud cry. Quiet sobs leaving his mouth as overstimulation set in before you cut off his vibrator and turned your attention to Haechan. Haechan’s loud moans have only gotten louder since you turned it up, achieving impressive pitch as he finally came. Leaning forward to place his head on the edge of the mattress as his body continued to shake. Turning off his vibrator you allowed the both of them to catch their breath, combing your hands through their hair as they’re quiet breathing filled the room.
Looking at the boys now, cleaned after their shared shower and in fresh pajamas, sleeping practically on top of eachother - Jaemin loves sleeping on someone’s chest - that same warmth grew again from your place in the doorway. Blessed is the true word you could use, that these two amazing boys were all yours. Walking over to the bed you lifted the blanket up, snuggling in behind Jaemin and sighing as his warmth seemed to surround you.
“Bear?” Jaemin’s sleepy murmurs surprised you, having assumed the boys were already asleep.
“No baby. Go back to sleep.” Jaemin groaned lowly, turning around and throwing his arm over your waist, pulling you closer to him.
“Night. Love you.” Jaemin’s sentence faded off towards the end, followed by a deep sigh as he fell back asleep. Reaching over to Haechan, you pushed his hair out of his face, smiling softly as Haechan moved closer to your hand.
“Love you too. Both of you, so much.”

euphoric | eren jaeger (1)
-> pairing: eren jaeger x f!reader
-> wc: 5.4k
-> warnings: use of marijuana, smut, praise kink, degradation kink, spit kink, oral (f and m receiving), fluff
you were stressed. it was almost the end of the term, and you had spent the past two weeks studying and prepping for your exams because you needed those grades. you had been slipping a lot in your classes but you managed to bring your grades up with the help of your good friend armin. he was extremely smart and honestly, without him, you didn't even want to think about what your grades would be.
“ugh, sasha, i can’t study any more.” you groaned, bringing you head down to into the vast sea of review that you had been going over as per armin’s request. “i need a break, i feel like my brain is going to fucking explode.”
sasha looked over up from her phone and laughed. “it’s gonna be worth it, i promise. once you finish these exams, you’ll be able to relax for a bit. do you wanna smoke later ‘cause we’re all getting together later at eren’s, i forgot to tell you.”
you hadn’t checked your phone in the past few hours so you didn't know that there were plans that had been made.
you didn’t move your head as you contemplated the thought, it sounded like fun to see everyone and ignore the work you had for at least a bit. exams weren’t for another week and a half, so you should be fine.
“yeah, i'll come.”
“yay! i’ll text the group chat and let them know that we’re gonna leave at around 6.” she squeals as she grabs her phone and starts typing away a text that you soon receive as well.
“ok, i need to nap first. plus it’s like 4 so i’m gonna pass out for a bit.” you got up from the kitchen table and made your way over to your bedroom, beginning to get comfortable. “wake me up at 5.” you yelled so she could hear from her room.
“you got it.” sasha yelled back. you could tell that she said that with food in her mouth.
“typical.” you chuckled as you felt your body drift off to sleep.
“y/n! hey! wake up! it’s 5:30. i lost track of the time.” sasha tried to shake you awake in which you grumbled in response.
“ugh, ur so timely.” you joked as you made your way out of your room, and into the shared bathroom. wow i look like shit you thought to yourself as you turned from side to side trying to see all of what you looked like in your oversized sweatshirt and shorts.
there was not enough time for you to get ready to look at least presentable, but you felt gross so you turned on the shower and threw your clothes into your hamper. you put on some music because who showers without music and you made sure to shave because it had been awhile since you had and you wanted to feel clean.
once you had finished, you grabbed a towel and checked the time on your phone. 5:40. perfect.
“y/n, we have like 20 minutes,” sasha called from her room. “do you think you can be ready by then?”
“yeah, i just need to dry my hair and throw on some clothes and i should be good.” you said as you walked into her room, she was pretty much ready to go, and dressed in shorts and a baggy t-shirt. no one really dressed up for these sessions because everyone was already super comfortable with each other.
“ok i’m gonna go change, i don't know if i’ll have enough time to dry my hair though.”
“you’ll be fine. plus, we can be a bit late, they wouldn’t start without us anyways.” she says with a smile as she puts on a sweatshirt.
you made your way back to your room and threw on a pair of sweatpants, a loose fitting tank top and your favorite pullover. as you made your way back to the bathroom to dry your hair, you found yourself stressing once again about your exams to which you took a deep breathe and reminded yourself that you needed to relax and this was a well deserved break.
after you finished drying your hair, you quickly ran a brush through it, and put on some deodorant along with your favorite perfume.
“ok sash, i’m ready.” you called from the bathroom as you fixed your appearance for the last time.
“perfect! i ordered us an uber because i don’t really wanna drive and i know you don't like driving high.” she says as she grabs the last of her things and we make our way out the door and to the bottom of our apartment complex.
“soooo...”
you look at her as the uber pulls over to the side of the road. “so what?”
“have u been seeing anyone recently?” sasha looks over to you as she gets into the uber after you.
“how could i? i’ve literally been studying nonstop. i wish though.” you say with a sigh. you had been so preoccupied with studying and getting your grades up that you haven’t had the time to see anyone except friends. “why do you ask?”
“oh, it’s nothing really. i was just curious, you know, being your roommate and all.” somethings up, she’s clearly trying to pick at something and this does not go unnoticed by you.
“ok,” you laughed and shook your head. “whatever you say.”
before you knew it, you both arrived at eren’s apartment complex. for some reason, you felt anxious. you knew the boys that were going to be there but you had this gut feeling that something was going to happen.
the two of you made your way up to his floor and knocked on his door which was opened almost instantly as if he were waiting.
“sasha!” connie exclaimed, embracing the girl into a bear hug. “hey y/n.”
“hey connie.” you smiled in response. it was really cute how the two of them were so close, it’s almost like they were twins. you made your way into the apartment and saw jean and eren, arguing over god knows what.
“hey guys!” you say as you walked over to the two of them, hugging them both.
“y/n! it’s been a while. how’s studying with armin?” jean asks as he pulls away from the hug.
“god. don't even get me started. i am in hell. armin’s being so helpful though.” you chuckle as you walked over to eren, who was looking at something on his phone but quickly shoved it away when he saw you coming towards him.
“hey y/n.” he says with his boyish smile as he pulls you into a side hug and you notice that his hand lingers for a bit longer than normal but you smile in response.
“so, can we smoke now that they’re finally here?” connie asks as it was very clear that he was getting impatient.
“yeah, yeah, let’s go to the deck.” eren’s apartment had a deck with was extremely nice and over time, it had become the signature smoke spot for you guys. it had an outdoor couch and a few chairs along with a small table which was perfect.
you made your way to your favorite spot which was the right corner of the couch so you could be close to the edge of the balcony and look out at the view of the city. everyone had their signature spots, it was like an unspoken rule but everyone followed it. eren next to you on the couch, sasha, jean and connie in the three chairs on the opposite side of the table.
there were some blankets already outside along with a speaker that eren played some music on to set the vibe.
“since you guys were taking too long, i rolled us a joint so we could smoke sooner.” eren said as he sat down next to you.
“aw, how kind.” you tease him as you nudge yourself against his shoulder, earning a chuckle from him. “dibs on first hit.”
“aw, c’mon!” jean whined, knowing that you always give the blunt to eren right after you hit.
“i get priority since eren is my best friend.” you smirk and wait for eren to say anything but he just laughs and shakes his head.
you and eren had always been close ever since you started school. he even introduced you to everyone, which was the reason why you were here with them now.
eren took out his lighter and lit the joint and passed it to you. you took it between your pointer finger and thumb and took a long drag.
oh how you had missed this feeling. the feeling of being high with your friends. you passed the blunt back to eren as he took a hit himself and you exhaled the smoke.
the joint was passed around the circle until everyone had gotten a good amount of hits and it was finished. you felt your high and you leaned back into the couch as you closed your eyes.
“tired?”
you opened your eyes and looked over to eren who’s eyes were red, just like yours. “no, just relaxing. this is nice. i needed this.”
“yeah, i noticed. armin told me that you’d been really stressed lately so i texted asking if people wanted to smoke but you didn't respond so i assumed you were studying,” he says as he stretched his arms and placed them just behind your shoulders.
“thanks,” you laughed as you stared into his turquoise eyes only now noticing how pretty they were. you had looked him in the eyes before but this time it felt different and he felt it too. but your staring was soon broken by sasha’s wails of being hungry.
“there’s food in the fridge, i had takeout last night so there’s probably some leftovers.” eren nods his head towards the inside of his apartment. sasha stood up and made her way towards the food as connie followed her.
“hey! save some for me!” he yelled as he chased after her. all that was left was you, eren and jean. there was clearly some tension in the air but you decided to ignore it.
“ain’t no way i’m gonna be third wheeling right now.” jean huffed quietly and joined the two inside.
third wheeling? you ignored it because jean obviously knows that you and eren are close friends, nothing more.
oh, how you were wrong.
eren looked over to make sure that there was no way for the others to see the deck and he moved his arm down towards your shoulder. you were shocked by this, but in a way, it was comforting.
“y/n?” he asked staring off into the distance.
“hm?”
he didn't respond so you took it upon yourself to look up at him.
“what’s up?”
no response once again.
your lidded eyes becoming heavy as he looked down at you with a tender look on his face. he leaned his face closer to yours until your noses were touching.
“eren?”
his lips connected with yours, igniting a feeling inside your chest that you had pushed away when you first became close. you melted into the kiss and kissed him back in a slow and sensual kiss. eren pulled back and tucked your hair behind your ear as he went back in for another kiss. you didn’t know what to do but the feeling that this gave you, it wasn’t like any other kiss you had before.
“wanted to do this for a long time.” he whispers and rests his nose on yours.
you didn’t know what to say in response so you pulled him back for another kiss that was interrupted by the three of them coming back out onto the deck. you pulled away quickly, hoping that no one had seen what just happened. eren kept his hand on your shoulder, but no one had asked about it so you just let it slide.
it had been a few days since you had last seen eren. everyone was texting in the group chat about plans for the upcoming days but you had to study, or at least try to study. the kiss that you and eren shared had been replaying in your head ever since it had happened. you knew that he was high and he may not remember it, but it still bugged you and you had to know.
but most importantly, this kiss had sparked feelings inside you that you had pushed away so long ago and it was beginning to get hard to consume them. eren was constantly on your mind, and you couldn’t focus on your work.
you needed to talk to him but you didn't know how because you didn't know that he had these feelings for you and you didn't know that you still had those feelings for him. you realized that you were ignoring these feelings that you had for him because he was your close friend and you didn’t want that to ruin your relationship.
it was driving you crazy. you needed to talk to him.
you grabbed your phone and clicked on eren’s contact and called him. it didn’t even finish the first ring.
“hey y/n! what’s up? how’s studying?” he said and you felt your heart swell at him saying your name, which never happened before until now.
“hey, can you come over later? i need to talk to you,” you sigh. this is it, you need to know if he truly had those feelings or he was just playing with you.
“yeah, of course,” he stammered. “is everything ok?”
“yeah, everything's fine, i just wanna talk to you.”
“ok, i can get a ride now if you want me to.” is he eager?
you looked at the time and remembered that sasha was out with connie and jean so she would probably not be coming back tonight.
“actually, yeah, that sounds fine. see you soon, eren.”
“ok, i’ll text you when i’m close.”
“ok,” you ended the call and placed your phone down, taking your head in your hands. you’re overreacting right? he definitely feels for you, why else would he kiss you?
“i need to shower.” you said to yourself, trying to ignore the thoughts in your head.
as you got out of the shower, you heard your phone get a text, which you assumed to be eren. walking back to your room, you heard a knock at the door and you froze. you were still in a towel and debating whether or not you should open the door for him, which you did because you didn't want to leave him standing out there.
“hey y/n, oh,” he stops and looks you up and down.
“sorry, i just got out of the shower.” you say as you open the door and motion for him to come inside. “can you just wait a sec while i go put some clothes on?”
“oh, uh, yeah. i’ll wait in the kitchen.” he looks around and scratches the back of his head nervously. his hair was tied back into a messy bun like usual and wearing gray sweatpants with a black shirt and his chain peeking out from under it. “you good?” he asked as he took off his shoes.
oh my god, was i staring?
“oh, yeah, i'm fine. i just spaced out a bit, sorry.” you chuckle nervously, tucking a piece of your wet hair behind your ear. “i’ll be right back.”
“take your time.”
you made your way back to your room and threw hung your town on your closet door as you looked for clothes to wear. you opted for a pair of pajama shorts and an oversized t-shirt that was sasha’s but for some reason, it was in your closet. once you had finished changing, you made your way over to the mirror that was across for your bed to make sure that you looked fine.
“ok, breathe.” you exhaled and opened your door calling for eren to come into your room.
he came into your room, still clearly feeling awkward about your interaction from before. “nice room, i like the led lights you have.”
“thanks,” you laughed and sat on the bed, motioning for him to come sit next to you, which he did.
“so, what's on your mind y/n?” he asks, leaning up against the headboard and trying to get comfortable.
“i don’t know, i've just been thinking about some things recently, and i can't seem to get them out of my head.” ok, good start.
“like what?” he looks over at you. oh no, don't look at me like that.
“the kiss we shared a few days ago, it’s been in my head on repeat.”
eren looks confused and looks towards your mirror, “is that a bad thing?”
“huh? i mean no, it’s not, i just don’t know what to do because these feelings have come back that i pushed away from when we became close because i didn’t want to ruin our friendship. but right now, it’s consuming me and i don’t know what to do.”
“well, i wouldn’t have kissed you without having feelings for you, y/n. i don’t know how you didn't notice it. i’ve been kinda bad at hiding it.” he said calmly as his gaze remained in front of the two of you. “but if you didn’t like it, we can just forget about it. i didn't mean to make you uncomfortable.” he turns to look at you once again.
“no, i enjoyed it actually, but...” you trail off nervously, feeling your face becoming hot. you tried to turn away but his hand grabbed your chin and turned you back to face him.
“but what?” he says softly, looking into your eyes which caused your heart beat to pick up. he thought it was so cute how you were getting so flustered by him.
“but i don’t want to be played...” you averted his gaze.
“y/n, i would never play you.”
you look back at him, now knowing the answer that had been bothering you for the past few days. it took all your strength to not kiss him right there but he beat you to it, closing the gap between the two of you. in that moment, all your worries had washed away, feeling content and glad that you had this conversation with him. the kiss soon escalated into you and eren sliding your tongues into the others mouth. you felt yourself getting hot once again but this time, a completely different reason. eren brought his hand that was on your chin behind your head, pulling you deeper into the kiss as you melted into his mouth once again, whimpering at the feeling. eren could feel it go straight to his dick that was now straining in his pants, trying to contain himself because he didn't know whether you wanted this or not.
“let me show you how much i care for you, yeah?” he says as he pulls away for a brief second.
“eren, please,” you whimper as his lips met yours once again but this time with more passion. eren then moved so he was on top of you, caging you in his arms as he continued to kiss you. “i want you.”
“’want you too, baby.” the pet name going straight to your core. eren moaned as he moved from your lips down to your neck, gently kissing and sucking to leave a mark. he then placed his hands at the bottom of your shirt, looking at you as if he was asking with his eyes for permission to undress you, you nodded your head vigorously and lifted your hands up so he could take it off.
“no bra? it’s like you’re begging me to fuck you, angel.” he then brought his lips down to your left nipple, gently sucking on it while taking the other between his fingers, moving it around earning a moan from you at the feeling. he then moved over to the right and did the same action. “you’re so beautiful.”
“ohmygod please, please,” you knew you sounded desperate, but you couldn't help yourself. you had been denying the fact that you had wanted this for so long.
“use your words, tell me what you want.” he groaned and came back up to kiss you, relishing in the feeling of your lips against his.
“’wanna feel you,”
“where, pretty girl?” he sat up at looked down at you with a smirk on his face, he knew where you wanted him but he wanted, no needed to hear you say it.
“’want you inside me eren, please,” you whined arching your back so he could get the message. he chuckled and brought himself back down towards your sternum, placing wet kisses as he made his way down to the waistband of your shorts.
“can i?” he looked up at you and immediately saw the approval in your eyes. “you don’t know what you do to me, do you?” you whimper at his remark, lifting your hips up in the process so he could take your shorts off easier to reveal your thong and the painfully obvious wet spot. he placed a finger on your slit, dragging it down slowly, teasing you.
“stop teasing me,” you whined, trying to prop yourself on your elbows but to caught up with the euphoric feeling that you couldn't. eren slowly took off your panties to tease you even more, and threw them behind him onto the floor.
“fuck, baby. this all for me?” he looked up at you with his jade green eyes meeting your e/c ones. he could feel the precum running down his shaft, struggling to keep his composure.
“yes eren, all for you.” your breath hitched as he spit onto your needy heat, bringing his tongue down to your clit, giving it a few kitten licks before he quickened his pace and wrapped his left arm around your leg to keep you in place, not once breaking eye contact. “fuck, keep doing that, holy shit!” you could feel him smirk against your core, and if it couldn't get any better, you felt a finger at your entrance before sliding in. “eren!” he felt so embarrassed to be rutting his cock against the bed but the noises you were making were sinful and he couldn’t help himself.
you began to feel your stomach tighten as he added another finger into your hole and picked up the pace. the sensation was incredible, the feeling of his tongue on your clit and the pace of his fingers going in and out of your pussy. your slick was dripping down his fingers, it was driving him crazy. he felt you tighten around his fingers, you were close.
“’gonna, ‘m gonna cum eren, please,” your release was so close, you just needed one more push.
“c’mon baby, cum for me.” he groaned against your pussy, sending vibrations throughout your whole body and you felt the coil snap. the moan you let out was pure sin and eren thought he was going to cum on the spot. “that’s it baby, good fucking girl.” as you got down from your high, you realized that he didn’t stop, you were sensitive, eren knew that but he needed one more from you.
“eren it’s too much, fuck,” you cry out as he brings his mouth back down to your heat and you can already feel yourself getting close again, and he could tell. you came even quicker this time, your juices gushing all over eren’s tongue. he lapped all of it up, not letting a single drop go to waste, and then taking his fingers covered in your slick into his mouth.
“you taste so good, i couldn’t get enough of you.” he whispers as he comes back up to kiss you. you could taste yourself on his lips and tongue. you reach down towards his throbbing cock, but he shook his head. “this is about you, baby.”
“please?” you look up at him and he couldn’t say no. he knew that he would not last long if you did as much as place your tongue on his tip. noticing that he didn't say anything, you took this as your chance. you flipped him over so that you were on top, and you could feel how hard he was. you grabbed the bottom of his shirt and helped him take it off, revealing his perfectly toned chest with chiseled abs. he threw the shirt to another place in the room, pulling you into another kiss shortly after. you moved from his lips down to his neck and down his chest stopping at his sweatpants to pull them down along with his boxers, revealing his swollen tip leaking with precum. he was larger than average and it excited you every bit. you smirked to yourself, and placed your lips on his tip, his breath hitched at the feeling.
you began to slowly drag your tongue down his shaft, maintaining eye contact with him, just like he did with you. you then took him in your mouth seeing how his legs tensed, you began to go even further.
eren was trying so hard not to grab your head and push you onto his dick, afraid that he was going to ruin the moment with you and be too aggressive. you then took your mouth off with saliva connecting from his tip to your lips and then went back down taking him all in your throat before bobbing your head up and down, coming up for air while jerking him off. the sounds he was making went straight to your warmth, making you wetter by the minute.
“keep doing that, fuck y/n,” he groaned as his will vanished and he took your hair in his hands beginning to help guide you on his dick. he ran his hand through his hair and looked back at you, knowing that this image will forever be imprinted in his head. his legs tensed and you felt it, he was close. “fuck, i’m gonna cum, i’m gonna fucking cum.” he groaned as he shot thick white ropes of cum down your throat, you gladly took all of it and opened your mouth to show him that you did.
“fuck, you did so good, so good.” he pulled you up towards him as you laughed into the kiss, and suddenly you were back on the bottom. “but now i’m gonna fuck this pretty little pussy, yeah?” he aligned himself with your entrance and your mind became fuzzy with the feeling of his tip right where you needed him most. he slowly pushes himself in but you didn’t need to adjust, and he began to move at a steady pace.
“oh fuck,” eren threw his head back at the sensation of finally being inside of you, the way your walls grazed his dick, pulling him back him. it was addictive, and he couldn’t get enough of it. “you feel so fucking good y/n.”
“fuckfuckfuck, ’m gonna cum eren.” the feeling came back embarrassingly quick but you didn’t care, the feeling was amazing.
“yeah? you’re gonna fucking cum? cum on my cock. cum on my fucking cock.” eren growled as his chain was in your face. hearing him be so demanding and aggressive set something off and you felt yourself release but this time it was different, arching your back at the feeling. eren was taken aback by the fact that he made you squirt, it was the hottest thing he had ever seen.
“that’s it, squirt all over my fucking cock.” he rode you out of your orgasm and continued to plow you into the mattress, picking up his pace. he was close but not quite there yet. you had taken into account that eren was aggressive in bed but he was being gentle with you at first, and you loved every bit of it. you wanted to make it more interesting. before you could even think, your hand met his cheek, and eren looked at you with a shocked expression but his eyes grew dark with lust.
“fuck me like you mean it, jaeger.” you growled, hoping to get a reaction out of him. and oh boy, did it get a reaction.
“yeah? fuck you like i mean it?” he slapped you across the face, and then grabbed your cheeks and spit into your mouth. “swallow it.” if you thought you couldn’t get turned on anymore, you were so wrong. you rutted your hips against his, moaning at the sensation. this side of you was so different, and eren fucking loved it. he grabbed your throat, squeezing it and making you look him in the eyes as he fucked you with force.
“look at you, never knew you could be such a slut.” the name made you clench around him like a vice, earning a groan from him. “taking my cock so fucking well.” the feeling of you tightening around his cock for the 2nd time that night was making him lose his mind, he wasn’t going to last any longer and he knew that you weren’t either. he brought his hand that was around your neck down to your neglected clit and began rubbing circles as his pace became erratic. he was so close and so were you, but he needed you to come with him, he had to feel that feeling again.
“fuck, i’m so close baby. fucking cum with me,” he moaned as he brought his head to your neck, you brought your arms and wrapped them around him, bringing him closer to you. before you could even comprehend, you released your juices, spraying all over his pelvis as he came shortly after you, painting your insides white. he stilled, trying to catch his breath but to his shock, you flipped him so that you were on top once again.
“not done yet.” you moaned as you began to grind yourself onto his cock. eren still so sensitive from his past orgasm that he was barely holding on by a string. seeing you on top of him, the way your breasts bounce and the way you look from this angle is driving him insane. he knows that he’s not going to last like this, the way you’re riding him, he grabs onto your hips and guides you.
you’re so overstimulated, you can’t even think straight. eren is trying so hard not to cum before you, but your pussy is milking him dry and before he knew it, he came inside you once again, legs shaking from the overstimulation. you lifted yourself off him and began to frantically rub your clit as you squirted all over his chest and pelvis. eren stared at you in awe, the way you looked like when you came and knowing that it was from him was a huge boost to his ego.
you finally collapsed onto his chest, trying to calm your breathing as he wrapped his arms around you. the both of you basked in this silence, thinking about the sex you just had.
“hope i wasn’t too rough, i kinda got carried away.” eren chuckled as he ran his fingers down your back, earning a laugh from you.
“no not at all, i really liked it actually.” you looked up at him, placing your chinos his chest.
“I'm glad, been wanting to do that for a while,” he paused, as if he was looking for the right words to say. “i really like you, y/n.”
your heartbeat quickened, and you gave him a quick peck on the lips. “i really like you too, eren.” you blushed, “stay the night.” you didn't have class the following morning, so it was fine.
“ok, will do.” he squeezed you tighter, and you utterly being exhausted, you felt yourself drift off to sleep. eren gently moved you over and walked into the bathroom, finding a small towel and cleaning you and himself up. he grabbed you a new pair of underwear from your closet and the his shirt on the floor, dressing you before he put his sweatpants back on.
you felt the bed dip and a pair of arms bring your back to his chest and press a kiss to your cheek.
“’night y/n.”

a/n: this lowkey sucks and is very poorly edited, i’m sorry but on the plus side, i surpassed 400 followers yesterday!! so thank you to those 400+ people🤍🤍
i do not consent to my work being copied in any way, shape of form or reposted on any other platform
not my picture
You didn’t consider yourself a jealous person. Much less a jealous girlfriend. Not at all. Never had and you thought you never would.
You had practically raised yourself as your parents had always been more preoccupied with their jobs. You loved your parents, you really did, but when your high school counselor told you that you could graduate high school a year and a half early, you took the opportunity to start college immediately and move out of your parents’ house. This drastic change when you were so young made you become extremely independent. Which is why your relationship with Chris worked almost perfectly. You valued your independence, as he did his, and you respected his independence, as he did yours.
As a corporate lawyer that had multiple firms around the country, you traveled a lot, needing to meet with clients. Chris, as an actor, also traveled a lot.
You both trusted the other without a doubt at the beginning of the relationship despite that Chris was, at first, a little wary of being with someone as young as you. As a 24-year-old, he thought that you should be living your life, partying, sleeping with whomever you wanted without being tied down, but you had explained to him that despite your age, those were not the things that you wanted.
You and Chris were truly made for each other, knowing the other more than they knew themselves. You would even dare to call yourselves soulmates.
Which is why you could not fathom why you were in your current situation.
You had left early in the day for California, where you were overseeing the opening and start-up of your newest firm. Chris, on the other hand, had left 3 days ago to go on some trip his publicist had arranged for him. You hadn’t bothered asking what it was about, assuming that it was about ASP. Plus, you didn’t mind it: he had to do what he had to do.
But now, you couldn’t believe yourself.
You were sitting on your hotel bed, in a white and fluffy robe, fresh out of the shower. Your computer was open in front of you, the TV was blaring the news and you had your phone in your hand. It was almost 11pm but you had been doing this for at least 3 hours. All three electronics were talking about the same thing: Are Chris Evans and Lily James dating??
It was a bit your fault that people gave themselves the right to assume things like that, to be honest, since you had been the one to pressure Chris about keeping your relationship secret. You knew that people would talk and judge you for your 15-year age gap. You, personally, didn’t care and neither did Chris but his career was dependent on his public image and you didn’t want to hold him back, especially not at a pivotal moment in his life like right now.
So, you had agreed on telling your families and your very close friends and Chris had convinced you to let him tell his publicist, Megan. God, she fucking hated you. When Chris arranged for you guys to meet, she had called you “a walking, breathing PR disaster”. You had laughed it off calling her funny, but you knew that she was 100% serious. You really shouldn’t have been surprised that she would do something so fucked up at some point.
A bunch of different news outlets were pumping out new stories every 30 minutes, each article a little more detailed than the previous. It was all over the Internet and it seemed to be the only thing that people cared about today.
Considering the 8-hour difference between London and San Francisco, you hadn’t been able to talk to Chris at all since you got to your hotel. You weren’t even sure if you wanted to talk to him. He hadn’t even tried to talk to you. Why was he avoiding you and acting like he had something to hide?
You’re reading the latest Daily Mail article on your computer about how Chris and Lily apparently got to his hotel in the same car when you hear your phone ring on the nightstand. You don’t even bother looking at the caller ID as you reach for your phone, eyes still glued to your computer and answer,
“Hello?”
You hear a loud exhale on the other end of the phone before you hear Chris’ tired voice, “Baby, hi.”
You tense up slightly before asking, trying to seem nonchalant, “What’s up?”
“Have you watched the news today?”
You bite your lip, thinking, before replying, lying through your teeth, “No, why? What’s going on?”
Chris sighs again before answering, “Nothing, it’s fine. How was your day?”
You roll your eyes. Was he seriously not going to say anything?
“Fine, but it’s really late and I have to get up early tomorrow so good night.”
You hang up the phone before Chris can answer anything. You throw the phone at the end of your bed, frustrated beyond belief.
You continue to read the Daily Mail article as you hear a message coming in. You don’t bother to get up to pick up your phone as you see the message appear on your computer screen a couple of seconds later.
chris💙, 11:01pm:
Good night baby girl. Good luck tomorrow🤍
You groan loudly at his message. Even when he had pissed you the fuck off, his words still brought butterflies to your stomach.
You disregard his message and finish reading the article. You roll your eyes as you close your computer and get up to put it on the hotel desk. As you’re walking back to bed, you take your phone from the end of the bed and put it on its charger, ready to go to bed.
You’re not sure how you manage to fall asleep that night as your mind swirls with unending thoughts.
When your alarm wakes you up at 6am the next day, you feel groggy, having slept very badly last night. Which was to be expected.
You get up and change while eating a protein bar before heading to the hotel gym: you needed to do something to get your energy up. Once you finish your workout, you head back to your room to get ready for the day.
When you get out of the shower, you open your computer and, having left the Daily Mail website open last night, you see a new article posted 2 minutes ago: Chris Evans and Lily James seen on a date in a London park.You groan loudly, closing your computer as you hear that your cell phone is receiving multiple texts.
You reach for your phone on the hotel desk and your eyes widen as you see your lock screen.
5 missed calls
12 messages
You open your Phone app seeing one call from Chris, two from your best friend, one from your brother and one from your mom.
You open the Messages app as a new message from your brother comes in.
will, 7:31am:
When did you break up with your boyfriend? And why didn’t you tell me?
you, 7:32am:
i didn’t
yet
will, 7:32am:
You know i’m gonna fucking murder him right?
You smile fondly at your brother’s concern, chuckling softly as you type your reply.
you, 7:33am:
as you should(:
You open the rest of your messages, mostly asking the same thing. You didn’t feel like talking about it anymore so, you ignore them until you get to your conversation with Chris.
chris💙, 5:22am:
Hey, I’m sure you’ve seen the articles by now.
I’m so sorry
Call me when you can, please. I really need to talk to you.
You bite your lip as you think about what to answer. You didn’t have the energy to deal with this right before your firm’s opening. Shaking your head, you lock your phone, putting it back on the desk, getting dressed.
As you get back to your hotel room, exhausted from your day, you hear your phone signal an incoming text for the millionth time today.
You sigh loudly: you knew it was Chris texting you again. You had been ignoring his texts all day because you didn’t want to get in a bad mood while you were opening the firm.
You put your purse and work bag on the floor, unlocking your phone. You open the conversation with Chris, scrolling through his messages.
chris💙, 6:15pm:
I’m leaving a bit earlier than I planned, I should be home tomorrow morning.
Are you back in Boston or are you gonna stay in LA?
You sigh, feeling guilty that you had been ignoring his texts all day. You start typing a reply, your finger hovering over the send button for a couple of seconds before clicking on it.
you, 6:17pm:
i’m still in san francisco i’m leaving tomorrow morning
As soon as your message goes through, you see the three dots pop up in the conversation.
chris💙, 6:17pm:
Oh my God, hi. Are you okay?
Can I call you?
You chew on your bottom lip: you really didn’t think he was going to answer that fast.
you, 6:18pm:
i’m about to take a shower then i’m gonna go to bed i’m really tired sorry
chris💙, 6:18pm:
Okay, I’m sorry
Good night
You groan loudly. You really didn’t know why you felt so guilty: he was the one running around with another woman. As you think about this, you realize that you didn’t really know who she was.
You shake your head at yourself as you pull up Google on your phone and look for her. You don’t even realize it but, 20 minutes later, you were now at the oldest post on her Instagram.
You curse at yourself, dropping your phone on your bed, and head to the shower.
You stay under the hot stream of the shower for at least an hour before you finally get out, toweling off.
You order some room service for dinner, settling down in front of a random show playing on the TV. After pushing your food around for half an hour, you sigh loudly, put the tray on the hotel desk and get under the covers before finally falling asleep.
You had not slept very well so you had been in a rush to leave the hotel and catch your flight to LAX in the morning. You were exhausted and hungry when you got to your shared LA home with Chris but there was no food in sight, considering that neither of you had been here in a couple of months.
As it was not too late in the day, you decide to take a nap and order some food after.
When you wake up a few hours later, the sun has already completely set and the house is pitch black. You rub the sleep out of your eyes and take your phone before heading to the living room to order some food.
As you enter the kitchen and are about to head to the living room, you hear a deep voice, “Hey, you’re up.”
Taken by surprise, you throw your phone in the direction of the sound and scream, “Holy shit!”
“Ow… What the fuck?”
You’re breathing heavily, clutching your chest as you turn on the kitchen lights, brightness illuminating the area as you see Chris holding the side of his head.
“Jesus Christ, Chris! You almost gave me a fucking heart attack!”
Chris rubs at his head as he looks towards you. “I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to scare you.”
Your heartbeat starts to slow down as you roll your eyes.
“What are you even doing here?”
Chris frowns and replies, “Well, you never told me where you were going to be but when I got back to Boston and you weren’t there, I assumed you were coming here.”
You groan silently, crossing your arms over your chest and raising your eyebrows,
“So, London seemed to be very fun.”
Chris shakes his head, looking up at the ceiling, before making eye contact with you, “I didn’t know that’s what the trip was about.”
You chuckle humorlessly, “Really, Chris? Since when do you go on trips, not knowing what they’re about?”
Chris exhales loudly, taking a couple of steps towards you, “I promise that I didn’t know. Megan planned everything and just sent me the info.”
You snort loudly, rolling your eyes. Chris frowns before asking, “What?”
“Megan, Chris? Really? She fucking hates me, of course she would pull a stunt like this.”
Chris frowns again, shaking his head, “What are you talking about? She doesn’t hate you.”
You laugh, this time, actually finding this funny, “Chris, she literally called me a walking disaster.”
Chris struggles to find an answer to that: he knew that Megan used this exact kind of formulation so he couldn’t deny it.
“And you know what? It’s fine. Maybe you really should be dating her instead of me.”
Chris’ face contorts in a mix of hurt and anger, “Why the fuck would you say something like that?”
“Because it’s true, Chris. She’s better for you. She’s actually your age, not a fucking child compared to you. She can give you the things you want from life that I can’t. Maybe it’s better that way.”
“What way?”
You shrug your shoulders, looking at your feet, mumbling, “If we weren’t together.”
Chris scoffs, “You literally have to be kidding me.”
Chris takes large steps, making his way towards you and takes your chin in his hand, forcing you to look at him.
“Y/N, I’ve told you before and I will tell you again. I do not give a shit about your age. And I thought you didn’t either. So, what’s the problem here?”
You bite your bottom lip nervously, “Because what if what Megan said is true? I mean… If people find out that we’re dating, the shit talking would never stop. I can’t do that to you.”
Chris sighs, enveloping you in a hug.
“Baby, it doesn’t matter. None of it matters if we’re not together.”
He lets you go, stroking your cheek, “You’re it for me. There is no one better for me than you. And no one is going to take that away from us. Not you. Not Megan. And certainly not my fans. If they love me as much as they say they do, then they’ll respect you.”
You chuckle slightly, “Chris, I don’t know what kind of fantasy you live in, but in real life, that’s not how things go.”
“Okay, but who cares? There’s two people in this relationship, you and me. Not you, me, Megan and my fans.”
You scoff, mumbling, “Yeah, tell Megan that.”
“I will. The same goes for her. I didn’t know she actually meant those things about you and I’ll tell her that she needs to knock that shit off.”
You sigh, nodding slightly, “Okay.”
“And, baby, I’m sorry.”
You furrow your brows, trying to understand, “I never should have agreed to Megan’s little plan thing. But, most importantly, I should have told you as soon as I knew. It’s just that I kinda owed Lily a favor and she needed this. But it doesn’t erase the fact that I should have been honest with you and I’m sorry I wasn’t.”
You sigh, “I know, it’s okay. I knew this kind of thing could happen when I decided to be with you, and I overreacted a bit so I’m sorry too. I knew it wasn’t true and I should have asked you about it instead of ignoring you. I just… couldn’t let go of the fact that maybe you should be with her.”
Chris shakes his head, “I shouldn’t. And I never will be.”
Chris laughs a bit before continuing, “Sorry, but you’ll have to try harder to get rid of me.”
You laugh loudly, throwing your head back. Looking back at Chris, you smile warmly before hugging him,
“I love you, Chris. Like, a lot.”
Chris chuckles, squeezing you tighter, “I love you too.”

Just wondering and no pressure here! Are you ever gonna finish the Endeavor fic? Love ur works bby and stay safe out there! <3
Yes yes yes 😤😭 Anything for you sweetheart and especially anything for Enji. Take care of yourself ❤️❤️
✨✨✨
“What?” I yawned out loud to myself pushing myself up. My arm was sore from sleeping on it, I looked around and blinked at the light that had made itself known. I tried to push to sit up being held down by a familiar weight. I yawned again, before rolling over under Enji’s arm. I pressed my back against his warm side resting on my arm that wasn’t sore. I pulled his arm around my waist to feel like I was being held in place.
“Ah, security.” I sighed using his shoulder and bicep as a pillow, “Not soft at all.” I snuggled against the firm muscle until I heard a throaty chuckle. His chest shook lightly and I looked up at him he was awake. His eyes lidded from sleep still fighting against consciousness, I watched a faint smile pull at the corners of his lips, I couldn’t fight the most likely idiotic looking grin that surfaced. I laughed and shook my head as quietly as I could. I turned in his arm and hugged his chest. I watched as he moved his free arm behind his head, his bicep bulged at the unintentional flexing.
“Good morning.” I smiled and let my head fall against his shoulder while I looked up at him. It felt perfect, this moment. The morning sun filtered by the beige curtains lighting the room in gold with a few thin slits of white sunlight breaking through. The white duvet stopping at waist, open sleeping shirt, messy hair, pressed into his side sighing content. The rumble of the AC filling the silence, soft breathing, its perfect. In this moment, in this place, there is no history, there is no future, its us in this moment. With nothing to ruin the moment I sighed and closed my eyes feeling the faint heat of his rising chest.
“Good morning.” He finally answered, voice deeper than usual, I felt him shuffle, before I felt his lips pressed onto the top of my head. I felt my eyes flutter involuntary, and my heart swelling. I smiled closing my eyes enjoying the closeness, perfect, this is perfect.
“DDAAAAAAADD!!” I blinked a few times remembering where we were, I watched as he groaned rubbing his face with his hand and sitting up leaving me behind.
“Yes, Fuyumi?” He called starting to stand up doing a few basic stretches.
”Y/N IS GONE DID YOU HEAR ANYTHING THIS MORNING MAYBE SHE LEFT TO GET BREAKFAST?!” She screamed through the door, I watched the door handle jiggle, thanking God I locked it last night.
“Yes, I heard someone moving this morning. It could have been (L/N), why don’t you go look around down stairs, I need to shower and get ready.” He yawned before he stood popping his back.
“Mmm...” there was a pause and some shuffling.
I heard Sho’s faint voice “Fuyumi, look y/n sent me message this morning saying she was going to a nearby convinience store to buy some things she had forgotten. She’ll be back soon.” I sighed thanking God once again that I had told Shoto my password all those weeks ago.
“Alright, DON’T MIND DAD!” She screamed before I heard them walk away, Great, now how am I supposed to leave? I looked around, “Does that window open?” I asked pointing to the window in the room. “It‘s a balcony.” Enji pulled back the curtains revealing an pretty good sized balcony with fancy railing. I was wearing sleeping shorts and a long sleeve shirt with some socks, I‘ll fly down, and just walk back in... but I went to the store.... so I need to come back with something. “Can I have ten dollars?” I smiled sheepishly looking at Enji.“
He sighed before turning to the dresser and pulled out a bill out of his wallet. I grinned and thanked him, “I’ll be back in, five or ten minutes.” I shrugged and opened the Balcony window. Taking eagle form, I dived down into an alley way barrel rolling and lading back on human feet. I walked out and stopped outside a tourist shop. The shop owner was placing out a box of mini hero figures, the same figures from that night we patrolled. These were a new release with the change to get Gold or Silver All Might, Endeavour or Hawks. I got excited and rushed in, I “went to the store”, but I never said what for. the packs were on sale, 2 for $5.00. And lucky for me, I had managed to get a $50. Each box comes with 12 lucky bags each bag has 3 mini figures, there are only 10 Pro hero’s currently released in this line. I have a ten percent chance of getting Endeavour, All Might or Hawks, if you add the 6 new figures to the line thats 16 characters in total. Meaning there are three possible Endeavor, All Might and Hawks,,, But, the chances of getting a special edition, would be 2 of 16 which should be 12.5 out of 100. If I multiply by three that raises the chance 37.5 of 100. So out of all 36 Figures that means I have to at least get 1 limited edition Per box, bu counting in these are the first boxes to pull in customers, they overload the limited ones to make it look easy so people will be convinced to buy them because it’s “easy” to find a limited figure... meaning... “ill give you $50 even for both boxes.”
I turned to look at the cashier guy who seemed unimpressed but nodded, “I usually sell boxes for $30 dollars each but I feel generous 25 each plus taxes.”
“How about $20 plus taxes.” I counter offered. He squinted at me before he made another offer, we went at this until we were back at my original offer. “Alright, this is my last offer,” he huffed and stared at me hard, “$50 dollars cash, no taxes, and IF you become a Pro Hero you do advertising free for my shop.”
I laughed and nodded, “Deal.” He packed the boxes and I paid him before we parted ways. By the time I made it back to the hotel Fuyumi rushed to me with a look of worry. “Where were yOU I WAS WORRIED?!”
I smiled, “I was in the middle of a very serious conversation about some very serious things.”
“A toy store, that bag says you were at a toy store.” Shoto said sounding very unimpressed.
I smiled and let out a sheepish laugh, “well...” I looked down and hid the bag behind me, “I never said I went to buy anything important.”
✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨
“Ow......ow.......nooooo stop.” I whined feeling one more tug at my hair and finally it fell down.
“There, we’re done.” Fuyumi fluffed my hair a bit before smoothing it out again, “Now lets go, before Natsuo starts causing a fuss.” She ushered me to move and I did leading our way to the elevator.
“Alright,“ I sighed slouching a little... “....Wanna see something cool?” I asked standing back up, Fuyumi cocked a brow by smiled a little, “Alright, I do actually.”
I dug into my pocket and pulled out a gold endeavor figure, “Boom, its your dad.“ I took her hand and placed it in her palm, “You can have that, I have another one.” I smiled when she let out a slight laugh. “Thank you, I’ll keep him with my keys.” We stood in a comfortable silence until the doors opened and we started to move out I asked, “Soooo, what are we doing after this award ceremony?” I asked tilting my head in curiosity.”
“I don’t know, she said he lips pulling to the side in a displeased way, “They didn’t let me plan out this trip so its a surprise for the both of us.” My only answer was to nod while I smiled down at the ground, “Sounds Fun.”
✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨
”Aren’t those kids from UA?” The voices of photographers were loud with there questions as flashes went of left and right, “Why are they with Pro Hero Endeavor?” “I don’t know but these kids could pull in the views!”
“Todoroki! A question if you Will!” “Hey Midoriya Over here!” “L/N! Can you pose for a few photos!” “Todoroki look over here!” Midoriya whats it like to learn from Pro Hero All Might??” “L/N! L/N! Are you affiliated with Todoroki or Midoriya?”
As much as I love getting my photo taken, I knew sticking around for pictures and questions in this scenario is probably the last thing I should do. So instead I stayed close to Natsuo almost sandwiched between him and Fuyumi. I stayed betwen them as we kept moving, Sho and Deku were behind us not rushing, Sho seemed unaffected and Deku was looking down red faced and embarrassed. It was kinda cute. I looked back ahead watching Enji ignore everyone moving forward with purpose and carrying himself with pride. I smiled watching him I know not everyone can see him or respect him as the number one hero but, to me, He can be so much more if only people would give him a chance. I know he’s not the most kind person in public, but with the right sidekick or partner that could change easy. When Hawks was with him those brief days, his like ability actually raised. So I know all it takes is someone pushing him to be more interactive with his fans, he knows now there are some that like him, bit i also understand why it’s so hard for him to accept it...
“Alright, were in, lets go find some seats.”
The ceremony went by slowly, I was bored listening to a bunch of speeches but at least made it look like I was paying attention. I couldn’t even sit by Enji because Fuyumi took my place, and then I managed to get stuck between Natsuo and Sho and they kept talking and we had to refrain from laughing to loud at a few things. Midoriya was so interested in everything that was happening and i started to pay attention when they actually started calling name, Sho and Natsuo stopped after Fuyumi told them to shut up. Which I appreciated now that things were getting interesting. I listened to the awards leaning forward more and more as more hero’s showed up collecting awards and moving on with speeches each with their own rounds of applause. I got this twisted feeling about Eniji going so I whispered to Sho who voiced the idea of us cheering for their dad and Fuyumi praised him for caring about their dad and he took the praise. So when Enji was called for an award of Achievement and a few other things the crowd applauded but how it normaly had so I stood up pulling Sho and Natsuo with me which caused Fuyumi and Midoriya to stand we clapped louder and cheered “For the new Number one Hero!” I screamed and then the five of us cheered more as others started to stand and clap louder. I looked at Fuyumi who smiled back and nodded. After the crowd calmed down and sat he gave a short speech, almost another thirty minutes of closing speech we finally got to leave.
“Finally! I’m free!” I cheered running straigh into Natsuo’s back as he stopped out of nowhere. “My face.” I groaned pushing away from him, it was in that moment I realized how big he actually was, “Wow, you’re actually tall.” I leaned to use his head to block the sun.
He looked back over his shoulder at me, “huh? Did you say something down there?” He... he just... he just bullied me for my height... “I-...” I look esta him and swallowed, “IM TELLING FUYUMI YOURE BULLYING ME!”
I watched his eyes widen and turned to rush to Fuyumi and he screamed, “wait...NO”
✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨
“Natsuuoooooo?” I poked his cheek as he sat pouting arms crossed, “Nat...Suo? Nat... pssst hey Nat, you still mad?” I poked his cheek again and smiled watching him force back a smile. “Come one, you cant be mad.” I poked his cheek causing him to smile briefly before he forced it back again, so I quickly summoned a feather and poked his cheek distracting him before using it to tickle his other side causing him to laugh.
“Alright fine fine, I’m not mad anymore.” He wheezed as I pulled my feather away, plucking it from the air. “A hero’s work is never done.” I gave an exaggerated sigh and he a single laugh kinda like a scoff, “Some hero you are, you get innocent pedestrians hurt to save them.” he crossed his arms and snapped his head the other way, unamused I felt me brows go up, “Innocent? Pedestrian? You?” I paused when he gave me an offended look. “I don’t think so.”
“Natsuo-“ We turned to look at Shoto, the two of having been sitting outside on a stone bench after Fuyumi scolded him strongly and I pulled into it.
“Yes?” He asked standing up and popping his back.
“Our father, asked if you could head back with Fuyumi to the hotel to pick up her bag of clothes. She left it when she was rushing out. Well meet for lunch before we do anything else.” Shoto said leaning his head to the side slightly.
“Oh,” he looked at me and then over his shoulder at the doors we had both just sulked out of, “yeah, well take a Taxi. I’ll get Fuyumi and we’ll leave.” He nodded and turned to leave.
I moved to stand by Sho, “So?” I asked elbowing him slightly, “how was last night?” “Well, I could ask you the same.” He side eyed me, “Take your phone with you next time you jump out a window.” I didn’t miss the amusement in his eyes, “Right,” I nodded and he closed his eyes a small smile on his lips. “Now, where are we going for lunch?”
“Oh! I read about this American style fondue place! It’s supposed to be really good! So I kinda wanted to try it and I was going to suggest it but, it’s pricey so, eheh, ya know.” I shrugged and Shoto’s brief look of amusement came back, you want what Kaminari told me is a Glucose Guardian, someone who pays for what you want.” I choked, “Sugar daddy.”
“What?”
“What. Nothing, so, lunch? I’m hungry? Also I’m riding in front move.” I rushed past him jumping into the passenger seat before he followed after Deku had met him. I was buzzing in my seat and the took Enji’s hand the moment he was sat and started driving, I squeezed his hand staring out the window, watching the building and cars pass. It felt so nostalgic, but how could it be nostalgic?
“Where are we eating?” I turned to Enji at his question, before looking at Sho through the mirror, “There’s this place Y/n was talking about.” I felt a squeeze to my hand meeting Enji’s stare as he looked at me briefly before looking at the road, “Where is it?”
I smiled and used my free hand to grab my phone, “it’s not to far from here, we should be able to make it in ten minutes if traffic is good.” I clicked away typing the address, “Yup, go straight, take a right at the light, and it should be a large glass building on the corner! It’s a fondue place, more American style!” I tried to talk and explain while squeezing Enji’s hand at the excitement I was feeling. Upon getting to the restaurant we waited a while, having sent Fuyumi and Natsuo the address we waited at least half an hour until we got a call.
“Dad, I don’t think we’ll be able to do lunch today, a really bad wreck caused a traffic jam on this side of the city, it’s an estimated two hour wait until we can move, well find a place to eat once we get closer if you all want to go ahead and eat we’ll be fine.” Before he could answer Shoto spoke “Thank you for your sacrifice.”
“We should go then?” I questioned looking around the car.
“Yes.” Enji said turning the key and opening his door to get out.
After we all got out the car, we started our way towards the restaurant. I awed at it, we made it in met with a nice man, “Welcome to The Melting Hot Pot! How many will be in your party?”
We all looked up at Enji, “Four.” We all nodded, it felt as if we were judging him.
“Would you like a private room or to be seated in our public seating area.”
“Private.” He nodded and the host nodded, “You can follow me this way.”
“Will this be you’re first time dining with us?” We all slid into seats in the large luxurious looking booth, it’s was in a room with a sliding screen door for privacy.
“Yes it will.”
“Great! I’ll give you the crash course before you’re waiter comes to attend to your table.”
After about seven minutes and looking at a menu the Host left and we started to talk about what sounded good.
“Wisconsin cheddar cheese?” Shoto asked.
“Flaming turtle... sounds painful...” Midoriya was staring at the opposite side of the menu.
“Maybe... we should start with a salad? Before we start looking at the fondue, there’s.. Wisconsin Wedge... California... Caesar... and a house, so, what sounds good?”
We tried to talk it out but no luck, we ended up right where we started, until Midoriya looked at Enji, “Mr.Endeavor sir,” I held back a laugh.
He hummed staring at Deku, his face didn’t change making him seem angry or annoyed, “What?”
Midoriya flinched.
“Maybe you.... you have more experience with this than we do, do you have a-any... advice?”
Enji nodded, “Get a California Salad, you’re allowed two cheeses, well get the Wisconsin Cheddar and Quattro Formaggio, for entree you’ll get a classic plate that comes with Pork, shrimp, chicken and steak cooked in a Mojo style broth, and for two desserts you’ll get a flaming turtle and Yin & Yang mix.”
We all stared at him, “Have you been here before?” I asked interested.
“No,” he held up a rectangular piece of plastic lined paper, “It’s a recommended course.”
“That’s very convenient.” I mumbled and we all looked as our waiter slid the door open finally entering.
“Hello, sorry for being late, what can I bring you to drink.”
“A tea, please.” Shoto and Midoriya spoke at the same time.
“Alright, two sweet iced teas,” and for you, she turned to me, “A spirit free watermelon cooler.”
“Good choice, and for you sir?” She turned to Enji who was looking at the menu, “A Billionaire’s Coffee.” He didn’t even look at her.
“Alright,” she looked at us, “I’ll get your drinks and be right back to take your order.”
She left and we casually just sat there looking around at the decor.
“I like the low lights, it’s nice kinda cosy.” I talked out loud to no one, before I looked at Midoriya locking eyes contact, “perfect place for a date.”
He chocked on air and brought his arm to his face blushing stuttering out things I didn’t understand. I laughed a bit, enjoying the show before he calmed down when the waiter appeared.
“Alright, what are we getting?” She looked at us and all I did was look up at Enji, he sighed, “We’d like to try the Complete Fondue experience for four.” He tapped the plastic with his finger and she noted it, “in that exact order.”
She nodded again, “An exact copy of the full experience, now before I head out, does anyone want to add a lobster tail or any extra meats to their plates?”
“No,”
“No thank you.”
“No, I’m good.”
“No.”
“Alright then, I’ll be turning on the burners, they will get hot, please do not touch them.” She pulled out a small metal stand with a promotional flyer and placed it on the burners before she left.
“I’m excited.” I reached over under the table and took Enji’s hand and brought it back to my lap squeezing his bigger hand between mine.
His hand squeezed mine, I smiled up at him before looking down at his hand, callused, warm. Scars were present but hardly noticeable, I ran my thumb over his knuckles, losing myself in the patterns I began to draw, feeling myself fall into a feeling of nostalgia.
“Y/n,” I looked up at the sound, “Hm?” I hummed in response looking around.
“Are you fine?” Shoto asked his voice soft but his brows were furrowed.
“Yeah, just thinking about school and the internships.” I shrugged, “We’ve been through a lot with everything that’s happened, it’s hard to believe we’re just first year.”
“Hm.” Shoto nodded and I pulled a hand up and lates it palm up on the table.
“Honestly, the more I think about it, the more I see and the more we do, it kinda scares me,” I looked at a scar it ran from the side of my wrist to the back of my hand, it was a deep wound from my Internship, “But seeing everything also makes me realize,” I balled my fist up smiling, “There’s so much space for new hero’s to rise and it excites me knowing one day I’ll be out there fighting for a chance to be number one.”
“Ambitious.” I flinched at the waiters voice who slid the door closed as she entered, “You must be in a hero school then.”
“I, yes, I am.” I nodded and looked away.
“I’ve never heard of you, you must not be that well known. Everyone however would be able to notice our lovely new number one hero Endeavor.” She smiled and patted Enji who just gave her a side eye and she quickly pulled her hand away.
I let out a mix of a scoff and a laugh, “You must live under a rock, or be uncultured, I’m from UA, were our sports festival is streamed publicly almost everywhere throughout the prefecture and surrounding cities, not to mention I was in the news quite a few times with Endeavor and Pro Hero Hawks, I was on headlines and on front page covers of newspapers and magazines, if you can’t recognize me it really goes to show what kind of woman you are.” I made a face and she made a face back.
Before we started a stare down another person walked in, “Alright, here comes a hot pot, everyone be careful.”
As the second waiter was setting up the meal I couldn’t help but mumble to myself, “Bite me, it’s what rabid dogs do anyways.”
✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨
After eating and Midoriya and I burning ourselves multiple times on hot cheese fondue we finished our desserts and started to head out.
We stepped out into the dark, the afternoon sun had set and the cities night life was crawling out into the streets, lights lit up outside patios, rooftops had flames lit lighting tables, tinted windows were lit up showing the chandeliers that hide during the day. Ladies in fancy dresses and men in suits and flashy attire. It was in that moment I realized how wrong our relationship is, I’m in UA, I’m only 16, sure the consent age is lower then that but, I, this is morally wrong in some eyes... I could ruin Enji’s career if anyone ever found out... I felt a sense of worry fill me. No one knew, I didn’t care before. So what scares me now?
“So! What are we doing tomorrow?” I looked at Enji and Shoto as we walked, Midoriya was unintentionally hidden by Shoto.
“It’s a surprise.” Shoto answered very bluntly and I squinted at him, “Very helpful.”
“How are Fuyumi and....” I paused the name leaving me and looked down, embarrassed, thinking, his name just couldn’t be Naruto because it’s pretty close to that anyways, “Natsuo! Heh! I remembered.”
“Fuyumi messaged me, they tried a curry at an Indian restaurant near the hotel, Natsuo also now holds the title for eating a plate of the spiciest curry in under an hour.” Shoto said flashing us his phone which had a very red smiling Natsuo holding a certificate and a $200 dollar check.
“That’s... impressive.” I was impressed, but it seemed like a painful thing.
I felt my phone buzz, I answered if, “Hello?”
“Hey y/n! It’s Fuyumi, I’d you don’t mind when you get to the hotel can you stop by the hotel shop and pick up something for indigestion or upset stomach, maybe heart burn?”
“Oh,” I smiled, “Yeah, I can do that, we’re on the way back about to get in the car, the streets are empty so we should be there soon, so, I’ll get it for you.”
“Thank you, sorry for the burden but I feel bad for leaving Natsuo while his stomach is hurting this much.”
“Don’t worry! I’m a hero, it’s what I do.” I smiled getting into the car as we reached it.
“Still, thank you y/n.” She sounds like she was smiling, I could feel it, in that moment how much she really cared for her family. It kinda warmed my heart in a way I can’t describe.
“Alright, see you then.” I ended the call and explained everything on the way over, Enji sighed and rubbed his forehead before pinching the bridge of his knows shaking his head. I smiled, noticing the edge of his lips twitch upwards a bit before he forced it down mumbling out Natsuo’s name and something I couldn’t hear.

✨HOW TO BECOME A WEALTHY MIDDLE-AGED MAN✨
PT.2: Overview to understanding different saving/retirement methods, investments, and forms of income
2.1 Savings and Retirement
Welcome lovelies to (what I hope will be) a helpful series on gaining wealth and becoming financially literate and independent!
*disclaimer: while this advice can generally apply to many it will not apply to all. Everyone is in a different situation and should do their own research before they take what ANYONE says as fact or law. This is also coming from the perspective of a young, biracial, first generation female business student following a hypergamous lifestyle and who does sw so some advice may be specific to my like-minded ladies, but for the most part I just love money and want to help others find joy in their wallets as well. I am also operating in the US so things regarding accounts, stocks, and certain laws will vary by your country. Also, this is just a fun thing I wanted to do because talking about leveling up and learning and growing and money are my favorite past times. None of these pictures are mine, however I am using some links which may compensate me in some way, but I only used links which were mutually beneficial and would help you gain something as well, they are still just actual sources I use for myself.
✨THINGS TO KEEP IN MIND✨
Financial independence is different than financial confidence.
Financial Independence: “The most common sense of the term is that someone has enough wealth to live as they wish for the rest of their life without having to work.” -Investopedia https://www.investopedia.com/financial-edge/0611/declare-your-own-financial-independence-day.aspx
Financial Confidence: “We define financial confidence as having three aspects,” says Miler. “The first is awareness of how money can be a tool for helping you reach your goals and dreams. The second is financial literacy and understanding economic factors. The third is trust and knowing where to turn for financial advice.” -Forbes https://www.forbes.com/sites/shelleyzalis/2018/06/16/women-money-8-steps-for-growing-your-financial-confidence/?sh=2175b65e2468
While the ultimate goal is financial independence, financial confidence should be the main focus. I’ll give an example why. Imagine there are two people: Rhonda and Jill. Both of them like nice things, love to shop, and participate in the occasional splurge. Rhonda works a regular 9-5 and has a decent salary. She doesn’t have much financial knowledge (translation: financial confidence), but she has a savings account at her local bank and puts a couple hundred into retirement each year and she thinks that's enough. Suddenly, Rhonda wins the lottery. Overnight she has become a millionaire, so she quits her job, moves to LA, and goes on to live life to the fullest. She would now be considered financially independent. However, Rhonda has no idea how to manage all that money. She puts a small amount into that bank savings account and takes the rest to do what she will. One day she tries her luck at a casino, in less than five hours she has lost all of her money and has to start back at square one with no job, only a few thousand to get her through, and no-good way to explain to employers that she just wasted the last 5 years spending money on handbags she now has to sell at a depreciated value. (BTW you would not last not working with only a million dollars in LA for that long)
Now, let’s look at Jill. Jill is an independent contractor and has a relatively steady income. She knows very little about finances, but she actively learns how to manage what she has and keeps up to date on the latest money news. The day that Rhonda won the lottery was just another Thursday for Jill, the only unique point for her was that she opened a savings accounts with a high APY (we’ll say 1%) and put in $5000.00. A little later she also opened a Roth IRA and puts in the maximum yearly allowance of $6000.00. Along the way she opened a brokerage account of her own and started trading in the stock market along with investing in real estate which has given her some extra income to play with each year. Unfortunately, another housing crash occurs, and all of the money Jill invested into real estate is gone. However, since Jill learned the skills behind her choices early on, she is knowledgeable and understands the ups and downs of the market and how to invest her money in other places in the meantime. And, that High yield savings account accrued around $50 more without her doing anything and she has that to fall back on, or worst case she can take out part of her principal Roth IRA contribution. 10 years from now Jill should start to see a steady increase in her Roth IRA that by retirement will be a little over 1 million and she should be comfortable and invested enough into stocks that she gains around $200-1000 extra each month.
I think you understand why you want to be Jill.
✨HAVING ADEQUATE SAVINGS = BEING YOUR OWN LIFEGUARD✨
As discussed in Pt.1 the first goal you should achieve is securing an emergency fund that could sustain you for a couple of months if things were to ever hit the fan, and starting a retirement fund should be in your top 5 goals to complete. The saying, “the rich get richer” is popular for a reason. Wealthy people know how to make their money work for them instead of them having to work for money. An easy way anyone can do the same is by opening the right accounts for your savings and retirement.
Savings:
All of your savings should be in a high yield saving account or split between different high yield accounts. This is an account which will reward you some interest every period for having money in your account with them. This is incredibly easy to do. You can either research/ask your bank about their high yield accounts or do some googling to find some other bank. Then transfer your money and there you go! When looking at banks understand that the highest Annual Percent Yields (APY), or the interest they will reward you, are going to be from online banks because they have less operational costs than a brick and mortar, but they will also come with their own disadvantages, like less ATMs to access or the inability to use when outside of your country so make sure to look into that. IMPORTANT: Make sure that whatever bank you choose is FDIC-insured so if the bank were to ever collapse or lose your money you have insurance up to $250,000.This won't generate a lot of extra cash, but an extra $20 every year is better than $0.
Retirement:
These accounts usually go by your current situation and what you see for your future.
401K: Probably the most known (I believe it’s only in the States but there might be something close to it in other countries) and that’s just because this is what employers usually offer if they offer anything. It is a retirement fund that your employer will set up and you can predefine how much of your paycheck you want to automatically go into it every time. Sometimes, the employers will also have a match program, and if they do you better max out the money they will contribute because that is FREE money! Most advice that I have seen has said to really only focus on this fund if your employer has that match program, otherwise I would focus on one of the accounts below. https://www.investopedia.com/articles/retirement/08/401k-info.asp
IRA: An IRA stands for Individual Retirement Account. There are three kinds…
Traditional: This IRA lets you put in pre-tax money and lets it grow tax-free until you make a withdrawal. Once you make the withdrawal that money is taxed at the current rate of your income at the time. Your contributions are tax deductible so you can write them off of your taxable income of that year. There are limits to how much you can contribute depending on your income, status, and whether you have another retirement fund as well.
Roth: With this IRA your contributions are taxed, but when you withdrawal money later on it is tax free. For those of you in a lower tax bracket than you believe you will be in the future, this IRA makes the most sense as you will pay less taxes now than you will when you are 59 ½ (The official age of retirement in the States). There are limits to how much you can contribute depending on your income, status, and whether you have another retirement fund as well.
SEP: Simplified Employee Pension. This is also an employer-based plan and may also work better for my self-employed gals out there. I don’t really know a lot on this one so I’ll just leave a link you can look into if it interests you: https://www.investopedia.com/ask/answers/102714/how-does-simplified-employee-pension-sep-ira-work.asp
You can have both a traditional and Roth IRA as long as you are eligible for both. Anyone with earned income (with a job or can prove a steady income) can contribute to a Traditional IRA, however with a Roth IRA, as a single you can earn up to $139,000 and contribute. Personally, if you are just getting started with all of this just set up one IRA and as you learn more you can take steps to get another or switch accounts.
https://www.investopedia.com/retirement/roth-vs-traditional-ira-which-is-right-for-you/
There are a plethora of other accounts, but they are more specialized and the top four should get you started on the right path to saving for retirement. I’m guessing that the majority of the audience reading these are women between the ages of 20-30. Trust me when I say that I love to spend money as much as the next girl, but I also would like to be completely comfortable should anything happen in my older years that screws up my marriage or job, and no one is going to secure that for you.
Also, I’m sorry this is so US-based, but once again it is all I know. I believe IRAs are more widespread than a 401K, but all that takes to find out is a Google search on your part.
Either way, make sure you have a plan going into 2021 for your savings and retirement because this economic whirlwind is far from over and there is always a chance for another recession, depression, or disaster. (Wow O, way to keep the mood light)
This was getting way too long with the investments added so look out for Pt.2.2 on the overview for investments (where the actual fun begins and I can stop being such a stick in the mud)…
VOCAB TO KNOW/RESEARCH:
Financial independence
Financial Confidence
APY
Roth IRA
brokerage account
High yield savings account
principal
401K
Traditional IRA
Once again… if in these posts I ever give bad advice, F- something up, or am just generally ignorant PLEASE call me out! Remember that just like you I am a young woman figuring everything out and while I am confident when talking about money, I am by no means a genius (only in spurts) so any chance to learn I appreciate. I hope you all learned something new today and as always…
With Love,

A Quite Different Attraction
Anna stood beside her best friend, Amber, reading the sign in front of the building her friend had pulled her over to! The two of them were on vacation, and had seen lots of sights and done lots of things, but they were looking for something different, and Amber thought she had found such a unique and unheard of experience when she found this "attraction" the two of them were now standing in front of.
"Instant Pregnancies!"
"Experience the wonder and sensation of being pregnant and giving birth, all in the span of 20 minutes! One of our staff will assist in putting a baby inside you and monitoring you during the process! Additionally, you may choose weather or not to keep the baby afterward, or donate it to our New Life clinics!"
"Cost: $30 a person, no more than 3 persons at one time."
"Disclaimer: This procedure requires intimate access to your body - Experience at your own risk!"
Amber brushed her long black hair out of her face and looked at Anna, her brown eyes twinkling. "Let's do it," she said excitedly!! "It's something neither of us have done, and it'll be quite the experience!"
Anna ran her fingers through her short blonde hair, thinking. "I dunno, Amber," she said apprehensively, though she was also curious, "I mean, it sounds a little suspicious."
"Oh, come on, Anna, haven't you ever just wanted to be pregnant??" Amber asked, beaming.
Anna shook her head with a snort of laughter. "No, I'm not you!" She responded, though in her mind, she was just as intrigued as her friend, though maybe more cautious than her.
"It's only $30, and we don't even get stuck with a kid afterward," Amber pleaded. "What's the harm in trying it out?"
Anna looked at the sign again, her green eyes scanning the advertisement. She WAS curious about this, both the sensation of being pregnant and how this "attraction" would manage to pull off pregnancy and birth in 20 minutes, something that normally took months. "Ok, I'm in!" Anna said, nodding.
Amber practically cheered, and the two of them eagerly entered the building.
They were greeted by a young woman behind a counter, who smiled at them. "We're here for the instant pregnancies," Amber said to her. The woman nodded. "Excellent," she said. "Both of you are participating, I assume?" Amber nodded, and as the two of them paid and gave their names, Anna asked, "How does it work??" The woman continued to smile, as if this wasn't the first time she had been asked this. "Well, it works like you'd expect any pregnancy to work," she answered. "One of our staff will insert his sperm into you, and impregnate you, it all just happens at a faster pace is all." She smiled at the expressions of shock, confusion, and wonder on the girls' faces. "I know, you are wondering what makes it so fast," she continued. "Well, our staff have all undergone special fertility treatments, which are combined with a pill both of you lovely ladies will be required to take before I let you back." The woman placed two pills on the counter, one for each of them. Anna, now almost trembling with excitement despite her previous reluctance, grabbed her pill and swallowed it, followed by Amber a second later.
"Daniel will be the one assisting both of you this evening," the woman said, looking at her computer screen as the girls took their pills. "Now, head down the hall behind me to room C!" "Go in, and Daniel will be with you both shortly!"
The girls made their way to room C and entered it. It was a moderately sized room, with two chairs and two beds inside it, along with a mirror on the wall next to the door they had used to enter. Amber sat in one of the chairs as Anna positioned herself on the foot of one of the beds, looking around. Not even a minute had passed when a young, dark haired man entered the room, wearing a staff coat, which he immediately took off!
"Greetings, lovely ladies," he said to them, smiling warmly. "I'm Daniel, and I'll be your support staff member today!" "Who wishes to go first??"
Amber and Anna looked at each other, both silently asking each other if they wanted to go first. Amber was thinking that, since she was the one that convinced Anna to do this in the first place, it was only fair that Amber go first, but then Anna spoke up timidly...
"I... I will go first," she said in a soft voice. Daniel smiled brightly at her and started to undress. "Very well, Anna, I think your name was! Please take off your clothing!"
Anna did so, removing everything but her bra, as Daniel had finished getting completely naked and approached her. "I'm nervous," Anna squeaked out, not making eye contact with anyone. Daniel placed a hand on her shoulder. "Don't worry, I will do everything I can to be gentle and make you as comfortable as possible!" Daniel said softly, and there was something reassuring to his voice. Anna nodded, as if giving approval, then Daniel entered her.
He really was gentle, and Anna found herself gasping as he bounced against her, once, twice, three times. She squeaked in surprise as she saw her belly start to swell instantly, as she felt Daniel release into her. Daniel didn't make a sound through the entire experience, and then a few minutes later, with Anna sporting a 9-month pregnant belly, Daniel pulled out of her, smiling.
"See?" Daniel said gently and warmly, patting Anna on the top of the head and ruffling her short blonde hair. "It wasn't so bad, was it??" Anna didn't respond, too busy looking down at her belly, admiring herself. She rubbed it, feeling the baby inside move around. "Oh wow!" Anna breathed. She looked up into Amber's eyes. "It feels great," Anna said to her. "You're going to love it!"
Amber immediately jumped up and said "Ok, do me now!!" She quickly undressed as Daniel laughed softly. Within minutes, Daniel was in her, thrusting softly. Anna watched them as she continued to rub her belly, smiling!! Happily, she thought, "I have a pregnant belly of my very own, and soon Amber will have one too!!"
Amber filled up just as quickly as Anna had done, and when Daniel pulled out, Amber was sporting a full term bump that rivaled Anna's, smiling happily and rubbing it. Daniel redressed as Amber started cooing and talking softly to her belly.
"My job is also to assist you with the births," Daniel said to them. "You'll have about 10 minutes to enjoy your pregnancy before labor begins." "I'm here to help any way I can, though some couples and even friends have found it a much more intimate and enjoyable experience to have only each other for support, and refuse the help of staff during labor." "If you would prefer that, then..."
"Yeah," Amber said, as Anna nodded. "We prefer to be alone during labor! Just us!!"
"Very well," Daniel said, smiling. "The room is all yours until the babies are born." "I will give you both some privacy!" "Make yourselves comfortable any way you can!" "When you are ready to leave, just press that button by the door and I or another staff member will assist you!" Daniel opened the door and said "Enjoy your pregnancies!" before closing it again, leaving the girls alone to admire themselves and each other.
It was the most glorious 10 minutes the two girls had ever experienced in their lives. They rubbed and felt each other's bellies, compared the sizes of them, (Anna's was slightly bigger), and talked about how much they enjoyed feeling pregnant, and wondering which of them would go into labor first.
Quite suddenly, Anna felt the baby drop into her hips and let out a cry of pain. "AAAHHH!!" "Amber, I think I'm in labor!!"
Amber responded with a loud moan of her own. "I...I am too!"
The two girls clutched their bellies, moaning and crying as the pain and pressure built. They decided to walk around the room, slowly waddling and whimpering as the contractions quickly worsened. Then, after a few minutes of this, Anna felt her water break, and a splash told her Amber's had too.
"AAAHHH, I NEED TO PUSH!!" Amber screamed out and immediately bore down, as Anna fell back onto one of the beds, panting!! "It hurts!!" She cried. "Amber, it hurts!"
"I know," Amber responded "But just push when you feel like you have toooooooo!!" Amber let out a long moan as the baby pushed through her birth canal. Using the mirror on the opposite wall, Amber could see the head already beginning to crown.
Anna was crying hysterically. She wailed when the baby pushed, and her legs trembled as a head began to poke out of her as well. Amber pushed hard, realizing that her friend needed her badly, to coach her. Amber tried to ignore the pain as she pushed the head out. "AAAAHHHHHH!!" she screamed as the head crowned and then popped out, just as Anna gave the most horrible scream yet. "I'm coming, Anna baby, I'm coming!" Amber said, panting, the head hanging between her legs.
Anna screamed and screamed as the baby began to emerge. Faintly, she heard a baby crying from Amber's corner of the room, and then her friend was there next to her, clutching her hand and trying to calm her. "It's ok, Anna, it's ok," Amber told her. "Oh, God, it hurts," Anna cried between heavy breaths. "Anna, you gotta push," Amber said to her, gently but firmly.
Anna pushed, and then let out a cry of agony as the baby crowned. "IT BURNS!!" Anna yelled. "AAAAHHHHH!!" Amber watched as the head emerged, realizing that this baby was bigger than the one she herself had birthed. Amber squeezed Anna's hand as the girl screamed and screamed, stretching her legs even wider to accommodate the large head. After another minute of this, the head finally popped out and Amber caught the baby as it slid from Anna's vagina.
Anna's baby was a 10 pound boy, Amber's a 6 pound girl. The friends found that whatever had accelerated their pregnancies and births also made them recover almost instantly. The two girls decided to send the babies to the New Life Clinic, where they would be adopted by families that wanted children but couldn't have them of their own. As the two girls left the attraction, chatting happily about the experience, they decided that they would one day come back and do it again, and maybe even bring friends!!
End!

Louis and the Aquaria: Chapter 2
Two days after that. The normally-unused hall had undergone a complete transformation — and Fred was stunned.
“Wow……”
Sitting before him were three large water tanks, roughly five metres wide. Within each one were some aquatic plants, as well as 20 to 30 fish in a range of vibrant colours and distinctive appearances. They swam through the water, sometimes gracefully, sometimes powerfully — the beauty of the aquaria was simply overwhelming.
“What do you think, Fred?” asked Louis, as he walked up to him.
Without taking his gaze off the tanks, Fred shared his thoughts.
“I’ve never seen such beautiful fish. Are they all from other countries?”
“Indeed. Southeast Asia, Africa, and South America — I heard that they were collected from these three regions and brought here via special channels. There was a concern that the quality of our local water would not be suitable, hence even the water has been directly imported from their native rivers and lakes.”
“The scale here sure is different……”
Even the water that filled these tanks had been procured from the fishes’ native habitats: once again, the thoroughness of this endeavour left Fred in awe.
“I’m planning to bring in more of Herder’s equipment at a later date; but for now, all I can do is to watch over them like this…… Oh?”
Noticing something strange, Louis peered into one of the tanks.
Before his eyes, a small pufferfish was biting the fins of its tank mates. Looking at the other aquaria, it was clear that other tiny skirmishes had broken out.
Seeing the colourful fish engaged in unbecoming violence, Fred looked puzzled.
“It seems even fish need to be compatible with one another.”
“Indeed. It looks like it isn’t enough to simply divide them by their native regions.”
Hesitating a little, Louis slowly put his hand into the tank, and broke up the fishes’ fight as gently as possible. [1] Confirming that the conflict had been resolved for now, he breathed a sigh.
However, Fred spoke up in concern.
“If it’s already like this from the start, Mr Louis, then it looks like it’s going to be quite difficult for you.”
“Still, it must be done. ——For the sake of William’s plan.”
Hearing those words filled with conviction, once again, Fred could feel the strength of Louis’s emotions toward his brother.
✦ ✦ ✦ ✦
Two days after the fish had moved into the mansion, the hall underwent another transformation.
The curtains had been drawn, and the entire room was dim. The large water tanks had been removed, and around twenty small aquaria were now lined up in their stead. Each tank was outfitted with the latest cutting-edge machinery to assist in the fishes’ upkeep.
In charge of their care, Louis quietly strolled among the tanks, scrutinising the fishes’ appearances one by one.
“Yo, Louis. How are they?”
Just as he’d completed his round of checks, Moran and Fred entered the hall.
Looking at his notes on the conditions of his charges, Louis answered in a businesslike manner.
“There are no problems at present. I’ve finally managed to understand their individual dispositions, hence their care should proceed more smoothly from here.”
“That’s great — though, it has gotten a little crowded in here.”
Moran looked around the room. Beside him, Fred was staring curiously at a device attached to the top of the tank.
“Is this machine necessary for taking care of them?”
“Yeah, it’s called a filter: it serves to improve the water quality,” Louis explained briefly.
In order to ensure he'd covered all bases, Louis spared no effort in his research, making detailed reports to Herder as he employed a variety of equipment in the fishes’ care.
Certainly, for the aquaria to be mechanised to such an extent, the level of technology required was several steps ahead of its time. To use such revolutionary technology for the sole purpose of rearing tropical fish: one could even call it extravagant.
As Moran watched the machines in operation, a dubious look crossed his face.
“These guys have been living in the wild up to this point, so it does feel a bit pitiful for them to be shut indoors all day. Why don’t you let them swim in the big pond outside once in a while?”
But Louis gently dismissed his proposal.
“I understand where you’re coming from; but we have to consider issues like how they would adapt to the water, and so I have refrained from doing that.”
“Then, at least bring the tanks outside so they can enjoy the sun.”
“That can’t be done either. If the aquaria were to be placed under direct sunlight, there would be other problems such as algal growth and spikes in water temperature. Hence, the day-night cycle has been replicated using artificial light.”
“An artificial sun, huh. All thanks to the development of industry,” Moran muttered.
Louis turned his gaze toward the lights installed above the tanks.
“These incandescent bulbs and other electrical technologies are still yet to be widespread — one can really feel the portent of Mr Herder’s work.” [2] [3]
As the two men made small talk, Fred watched the fish in the aquaria, his face aglow.
Then, the door to the hall opened.
Rhythmic footsteps echoed, and in came William.
“Nii-san.”
Louis broke off his conversation with Moran, and turned to face his brother.
“How has your work been?”
“It’s going well. Once we convey to Stapleton that we’re keeping tropical fish, I’m sure his interest will be piqued.”
“That’s good to hear. I hope your contact with him will be a success.”
“Thank you. And I’m glad to see that the fish are doing well. As I thought, it was the right decision to entrust their care to you, Louis.”
“I owe that to both your and Mr Herder’s help.”
Even as his reply was modest, Louis puffed out his chest.
Watching how close the two brothers were, the elder Moran smiled. But as he looked at the aquaria again, a tiny doubt suddenly struck him.
“By the way, we’re keeping these fish so we can meet with this Stapleton guy, right? Then when that’s done, what’ll happen to them?”
Louis tilted his head slightly as he pondered.
“Well…… As far as I understood his nature, in all likelihood, he’ll want to take the fish. In that case, we’ll probably hand them all over to him.”
He’d said that with a straight face, and Moran was stunned.
“Really? Don’t you think we should keep at least one of these tanks in the mansion?”
“No, not at all. These fish were collected for the sole purpose of my brother’s plan — they are simply a means to an end, and I hold no greater affection for them beyond that.”
“I-I see……”
For Moran and Louis, even as they shared William’s ambitions as his comrades, they knew full well they were but one of his chess pieces: if he were to order them to die, they were prepared to lay down their lives at any moment.
These fish were also no more than tools — everyone in the room understood that. But upon hearing how bluntly Louis put it, the older man could not hide his astonishment.
Next to them, William glanced over the fish.
“Still, they do look rather healthy, swimming around like that. For one, the colours of these Puntius rhomboocellatus are rather vibrant.”
“Ah, so that’s their name? It’s quite a mouthful.”
What William had just mentioned was the scientific name of the fish. In the event that Louis was unable to care for the fish, Moran and Fred had also familiarised themselves with their names just in case; but since they felt rather formal, Moran didn’t use them very much.
At his brother’s satisfied expression, Louis beamed with joy.
“You have a wonderful eye for aesthetics, nii-san. Besides those, I would also recommend the Mikrogeophagus ramirezi.”
“Hm, they’re a beautiful shade of blue. Though I personally like the Neolamprologus brichardi over here as well.”
“I see. Then what do you think about the Julidochromis transcriptus and Pelvicachromis taeniatus? Both are from Africa too.”
“……You know, it’s great that you guys get along so well — but can we leave it at that?”
Moran’s eye twitched. But they ignored his puzzlement, and continued their jargon-filled exchange.
“Still, taking the practical view, I quite like these Corydoras paleatus for cleaning up remnants of food from the tank. On the other hand, these Laubuka dadiburjori will jump out of the aquaria if they’re left uncovered, and I had a hard time finding tank mates for the Boraras urophthalmoides.”
“Speaking of utility, Louis: I suppose you would fancy the algae-eating Siamese flying fox as well?”
“Fufu, you see through everything, nii-san. Oh, please look over here: the Nannostomus beckfordi are spreading their fins.” [4]
“——Stop! Stop! No more of that talk!”
Reaching the limit of his patience, Moran stepped between the two brothers, yanking them out of their own world.
Their conversation interrupted, Louis looked puzzled. “What’s the matter, Mr Moran? I was just about to show him the Triple Red Apistogramma cacatuoides.”
“You guys are getting completely carried away, and leaving the rest of us behind! And what’s with those bloody names? This isn’t some university lecture!”
Beside him, Fred was pointing at the fish one by one, murmuring the names that had come up in the brothers’ exchange. Clearly, he was making sure he remembered their names properly.
Quizzical, Louis responded. “They might be troublesome for you…… But my brothers and I memorised them in one shot.”
“Y-You’re kidding, right?” Moran paled.
“They really are on another level……”
Astonished, Fred also stopped what he was doing.
Hailing from a noble family, Moran himself was an Oxford graduate; in addition, Fred also possessed an above-average intellect. But when confronted with the intellectual abilities of the three Moriarty brothers, who were able to memorise such complex names in just one go, the two men were unable to hide their amazement.
“I mean, wouldn’t it be easier to give them nicknames instead?”
At Moran’s suggestion, Louis put a hand under his chin.
“Nicknames, hmm…… I haven’t had any problems so far, but giving them simpler names might be a good idea.”
“Right? It’s insufferable to have to listen to those curse-like words every time I come here.”
“Let’s try it then. But I will be rejecting any distasteful ones,” Louis quipped.
Moran looked around the room, his gaze landing on a tank with a school of guppies swimming within.
“Alright….. Then how about we call these ‘Fred’?”
Behind his glasses, Louis’s eyes widened.
“We’re giving them our own names?”
“It’s fine, innit? It’s a lot better than calling them ‘Mr Guppies’ or something.”
“It’s certainly easy to say—— But even so, why call the guppies Fred?”
“Because they’re small and agile, aren’t they?” Moran grinned.
Fred shot him a dubious look. “Is your reasoning that simple……?”
That logic did seem a little problematic; William, who’d been watching from the side, made a troubled face.
“Since you’re adept at disguising yourself, Fred: if we were to name a fish after you, it should something like a leaffish that uses mimicry. Moreover, guppies already have a rather simple name, so I don’t think it’s necessary to give them another one.”
“It’ll be fine — it’s best to go with your gut for such things. Anyway, it’s decided then: the guppies will be called ‘Fred’.”
It seemed that for once, Moran was unwilling to listen to William’s words.
Then, another aquarium caught his eye. Fascinated, he gazed at the sole inhabitant within.
“Ooh, this guy has the tank all to himself, eh? I like that feeling of aloofness — this one’s gonna be called ‘Moran’.”
The fish Moran had just given his own name to, was in fact the tiny pufferfish that had to be isolated on the very first day, after attacking the other fish.
“Ah, about that one……”
Louis did want to explain why the pufferfish was all alone; but seeing how excited Moran was, he hesitated.
However, Moran seemed to have taken that pause in a different light.
“Oi oi, did you like this one too? Sorry, but it’s first come first served — so I get to name him.”
“R-Right. If you’re fine with that one, then……”
Moran looked like he was really enjoying himself, and so Louis decided to keep his silence on the truth about Moran’s new namesake.
Along with Louis, Fred had also witnessed what the pufferfish did on the day it arrived. It pained him a little to see Moran blissfully unaware of that, and he looked away.
Then, a certain tank caught his eye.
“These are quite like Mr William and his brothers.”
“Eh?”
Intrigued, William and Louis followed his gaze.
Dancing before their eyes was a group of beautiful fish with an almost divine air around them — ones that could even be called kings of the aquarium.
“——Angelfish?”
Within the tank, three angelfish were swimming in close formation. They had glittering silver scales, with black stripes running vertically down their sides. That closeness truly reminded one of the Moriarty brothers, bound to one another with firm ties.
Their name brought to mind angels, and William could not help but chuckle in self-mockery.
“I think that’s the last thing we should ever be called.”
“Not at all. In a way, you three are angels — but more of the ones who sound the trumpets in the Book of Revelation.” [5]
At that ironic turn of phrase, William let out another meaningful laugh.
Beside them, with a somewhat absent-minded look, Louis admired the fish he’d grown so familiar with.
“Though, just as Fred said, their elegant appearance certainly befits both William and Albert nii-sama.”
“No need to be modest, Louis: you are just as noble as they are.”
“T-Thank you very much, nii-san.”
Louis turned a little pink at that. Looking at the three fish swimming together, Moran nodded enthusiastically.
“Then starting from the front of the group, their names will be ‘William’, ‘Albert’ and ‘Louis’.”
“It’s a bit embarrassing……” William smiled bashfully.
Moran walked away from the tank. “Both Louis and Fred agree with it, so it’ll be fine. Anyway, I’ll be off.”
“Eh? What about the rest?”
Fred called out to him just as he was about to leave the room, and Moran ruffled his hair as he replied.
“Now that I think about it, there’re just way too many of them. We’ve already named five of them after ourselves — that should be fine for now.”
“I guess……”
Faced with Moran’s overly freewheeling attitude, Fred was lost for words.
“…………”
Under normal circumstances, Louis would saddle Moran with some chores at this point. But his attention was still drawn to the tank with the angelfish.
He had yet to notice it himself; but their three names, now conferred onto those fish, had set off tiny ripples in his heart.
Footnotes:
T/N: Yuumori is set in the early 1880s — you can read more about that here.
[1] Yes, Louis did just put his hand into a tank with a pufferfish 😥
[2] Edison’s first light bulb had been invented less than ten years prior, and this used a carbon filament — tungsten filaments would not be developed until the early 1900s. (Wikipedia)
[3] At this time in history, electricity really was the preserve of the rich and few — even in 1919, only 6% of UK households had electricity (Science Museum UK). Interestingly, AC (alternating current) power systems were starting to be adopted in the UK around this period. (Wikipedia)
Aside: The ‘artificial sun’ gave me flashbacks to the manga Letter Bee… (Wikipedia)
[4] This is a form of threatening behaviour between fish.
[5] Moran is referring to the seven angels that blow trumpets to bring about seven cataclysmic events, as described in the New Testament (Wikipedia). Seraph of the End fans would be familiar with this one :3
Translator’s notes
Louis’s honorifics
I know I used “Louis-san” in the manga scanlation, but I’m just going to go with my gut and use “Mr Louis” here :x
