I just realized that their shirts are pretty complementary in design, especially the uniquely-shaped panels of pintucks.

✩࿐࿔ runaway - anton one shot
Anton is a teenager from a wealthy family. He always has to look perfect in front of his parents' friends and business partners, which he despises. That’s why, one night, he decides to run away from an important event his family is hosting, feeling fed up with the pressure it brings. It’s at this moment that he encounters y/n.
pairing: anton x reader idea of anon: nepo baby x troubled child anton x reader fic
Anton is tired of everything. He always has to look perfect in front of others—well-groomed, with good posture, and trying to keep a smile on his face. Everyone in his class knows how wealthy his family is, so all eyes are always on him, watching his every move.
That night, his parents had organized an important event at their house, inviting several professors from what would be Anton’s future university. They had reminded him a thousand times how crucial that dinner would be for his future, but it only made Anton feel more and more overwhelmed, until he finally reached his breaking point.
As he looked at himself in the mirror, wearing the clothes laid out for the dinner, Anton stood in silence for a few seconds. He knew he had everything he needed, that if he wanted something he could buy it, and that he was incredibly privileged to have the family he had. But he couldn’t take it anymore. He grabbed a hoodie from his closet and left the house without telling anyone, running far away.
After a few minutes, having put some distance between himself and home, he stopped by the river. He lay down, breathing heavily, watching how beautiful the sky looked that night. He reached into his pocket for his phone but realized he’d left in such a hurry that he’d forgotten it. He sighed quietly, taking in the silence. It had been too long since he’d been alone like this; there was always someone at his house, whether it was his parents or their employees. It felt good to finally be alone.
He closed his eyes for a few moments. He didn’t expect that when he opened them, he’d find you looking at him, surprising him enough to make him sit up quickly.
"What… Why are you looking at me like that? Wait, aren’t you…?"
You and Anton had been in the same class for years, but you’d never really had the chance to talk, or rather, you’d never really been interested. In a way, your social backgrounds were just too different, and he always seemed too conceited and perfect, so you’d never bothered to get to know him. That’s also why you were so surprised to see him there.
"It makes sense you don’t know my name; we’ve never spoken before…" you murmured, turning to look at the river. "What’s ‘famous’ Anton doing here? I’ve never seen you around here before."
Anton looked at you in silence, still surprised to have run into you. When he didn’t answer, you sat down next to him, making him look at you with even more surprise.
"So, what are you doing here? Did you come with your parents or something…?"
"No." His voice cut you off abruptly as he looked at you coolly. "I just…"
Your eyes met for a few seconds. You’d never noticed before, and though there wasn’t much light because it was night, you could tell Anton had an almost flawless face. You noticed his cheeks had flushed a bit, and he looked away after a few moments.
"I ran away from home…" he finished, almost whispering.
"Huh? You? Ran away from home?" You couldn’t help but let out a small laugh until Anton looked at you seriously, wiping the smile from your face. He was serious.
"And what about you? What are you doing out here alone at this hour?"
"Well… Let’s just say I come here when I need to be alone and get away from everyone," you murmured, resting your head on your knees.
"Then I guess we’re in a similar situation," you heard Anton say.
You turned your head a bit to look at him again. Although you’d noticed him in class, since everyone talked about him, this time he didn’t seem like the same person. You’d always seen him looking well, with a smile on his face, focused on his classes, always trying to keep his teachers happy. It always annoyed you to see him like that—so perfect, carefree, with his life all set. But now he seemed different; you’d never seen him so serious, and the fact that he’d run away from home was something you’d never imagined of him.
"So tell me, why aren’t you at home? It’s really cold out here to be just in a hoodie."
"Well, it’s just… My parents organized an important dinner, but I felt… I just couldn’t be there."
"So you ran away from an important dinner… Wow, I never would have expected that from you."
"Right? I even surprised myself," he replied with a small, ironic smile.
You couldn’t help but feel more curious about Anton; the image you’d created of him wasn’t accurate at all. Without either of you noticing, you ended up talking for over two hours. You realized how different he was from what you’d thought and how similar you both were deep down.
"Sometimes I feel like people just see me as some kind of nepo-baby, and I…"
"Wait, Anton, I hate to interrupt, but I think that’s exactly what you are," you said with a laugh.
"I mean, I know. But sometimes I want people to recognize me for my own efforts, not for my parents’ money or influence." Anton looked at you for a few seconds, then turned his gaze back to the river. "Sometimes I just want… I don’t know, to escape… Go somewhere where nobody knows my family or who I am."
You been looking at him all this time while listening at him. He returned your gaze with a small, somewhat awkward smile on his face.
"Then maybe we should run away together, shouldn’t we?"

The Stuff of Our Lives
Written for @steddiemicrofic June Prompt: Stuff | WC: 483 | Teen and Up Audiences | Tags: Established Relationship, Hurt/Comfort, Steve Harrington Has Bad Parents, Eddie Munson Has a Bad Father, Flight of Icarus Lore Mentioned
“Do you need help with your other things, babe?”
Steve looked at the boxes in the back of the van in response to Eddie’s question, mentally reviewing the various contents of each.
Two for clothes, one for books, tapes, and movies, one for trinkets, and one for miscellaneous shit.
“Nope! This is it.” Steve caught Eddie’s eye through the rearview mirror and smiled, then closed the van doors. He circled the van and climbed into the passenger seat, not noticing how Eddie’s responding smile didn’t quite meet his eyes.
“Are we moving the rest of your stuff into the apartment later?”
Steve frowned, feeling a pang of hurt at the implication of Eddie’s question. “There’s no other stuff. Clothes, toiletries, trinkets. That’s all there is, all I have.”
Eddie’s eyes darted back to the rearview mirror, glancing at the five boxes that took up almost no space in the van. “No furniture or anything?”
Steve shrugged. “I figured I’d just buy that from the secondhand shop. My parents are already pissed I’m moving out. My dad would, like, track me down if he found out that I took anything else.” Steve gave a forced laugh, which was silenced a beat later when Eddie’s hand rested on top of Steve’s knee. They fell quiet for a few minutes as Eddie carefully navigated the roads to their apartment.
Finally, Eddie spoke. “A couple years ago my house burned down. I saved a few of my mother’s records, some books I’d had since I was a kid, but the rest wasn’t salvageable.”
“Fuck, Eddie, I-”
“My dad didn’t care, but I did. Stuff isn’t forever, and to someone else it may just be a pile of junk, but to me, it’s a physical representation of a memory, and I can think of nothing more... significant than surrounding yourself with those memories. I had some other stuff at Wayne’s when that happened, and have made more memories since, better ones, but it was still hard to let go of those memories in that house.”
Steve was at a loss for words, and Eddie continued.
“I know your parents aren’t the best, that they think of things as having monetary value and not much else, but I guess what I’m trying to say is, even though you don’t have much stuff right now, that just means that we have the opportunity to get more stuff together, right? To fill our home with memories of us. You won’t be surrounded by memories of them anymore.” Eddie paused, then grimaced. “Sorry if that, like, makes zero sense-”
Steve placed his hand on top of Eddie’s, his eyes wet with emotion and his heart warmed by Eddie’s words. “No, I get it. Our stuff, our memories.” Steve smiled. “I can’t wait to get stuff with you, Eds.”
Eddie glanced over at Steve, offering his boyfriend a soft smile. “Same here, baby.”

Hi lovely!! How are you? I completely understand if you aren’t comfy writing this but I was wondering if you could write something with Sirius x reader where she enjoys sex but bc of how she was raised she feels guilty for enjoying it/wanting it if that makes sense? Just him reassuring her that it’s okay to want it and it doesn’t make her dirty or wrong.
Again, I completely get if you aren’t okay writing it, I love your stories so much. Thank you!!
Thanks for requesting my love!
cw: smut, mdni, reader has negative associations with sex and "impurity"
Sirius Black x fem!reader ♡ 1k words
Sirius’ breath is hot on your ear, moving the baby hairs there slightly. You think dizzily that it’s almost like having a hair dryer pointed at you. Except a hair dryer would never say the things he’s telling you.
“There y’go.” He kisses the skin just shy of your ear, a tiny reward. “Just like—fuck, just like that. Good fucking girl.”
The high you get from the praise comes with a bite of shame. You try to ignore the latter, fisting your hands in the covers as Sirius quickens his pace and the feeling in your core builds and builds, your cunt gripping his cock for dear life. Sirius’s hands are at your chest, still confined in the corset top you’d worn out tonight. He squeezes your boob through the fabric, and you have to bite your lip to suppress the moan that rises from the back of your throat.
“Fuck, baby,” he groans when you tighten on him again. “You like that?”
You nod, too self-conscious and delirious with pleasure to attempt speech.
Sirius kisses you, working your bottom lip free of your teeth as he grips your boob more intentionally. It comes readily out of your top and into his palm, where Sirius kneads at it diligently. You’re making sounds into his mouth now, but so is he, and when his thumb pushes over your nipple at the same time as he drives into you, you finish only a few seconds before he does.
“Damn,” Sirius says when he can speak again. He’s panting, pulling out of you slowly to lie on the bed beside you. “That top is something else. I didn’t know you even had clothes like that, you sneak.”
When you blush, it’s from more than just his teasing tone. “Only this one,” you say, as though that’s some kind of excuse. You usually would never wear a top like the one Sirius has half torn off you tonight, but you’ve admired the way he and his friends dress ever since you met them. You want to be that bold, that unafraid. And when you’d seen the corset top in a thrift store a couple months back, it had struck you instantly as something the person you wanted to be might wear. Someone more daring than you truly were. It had taken you until tonight to work up the gall to actually wear it outside of your bedroom, but Sirius had not let its debut go by unappreciated.
“Well, if you feel like buying more,” Sirius says against your shoulder, kissing at your hot skin with casual reverence, “you won’t catch me complaining. You look hot in it.” He nibbles at your clavicle. “Although I guess that’s true of everything you wear.”
Your face burns. “Thanks.”
Sirius must hear something of your hesitation in your voice, because he picks his head up, gray eyes narrowing at you. “You don’t agree?” he asks, and he’s still trying to play, one eyebrow arching dramatically.
You laugh. It’s so obviously forced that Sirius drops the act instantly, pushing up on his elbows to see you more clearly. He unsticks a strand of hair from your sweaty cheek, running it between his fingers. “Something the matter, pretty girl?”
Something is the matter. You feel like you always do after sex, but worse because of the showy top that had provoked Sirius’ advances in the first place. You feel guilty, dirty, the stickiness between your thighs more like grime now than pleasure. You feel like you might be a “good girl” the way Sirius means, but you’re miles off from the sort of good you were raised to be.
“Sweetheart,” Sirius croons, and he’s wheedling, “I think I know what you’re thinking, and if I’m right, you know it’ll make you feel better to talk about it.”
You sigh. “I’m sorry,” you say. It’s as good as an admittance. “I don’t mean to take all the fun out of it.”
“Hey.” He sweeps the piece of hair behind your ear, giving you a look nearly as stern as it is fond. “I’m not having any fun if you’re not, got it? And I wouldn’t want to.” Your gaze drops, and Sirius moves his hand to your face, angling it gently to face him. “We should both be able to enjoy ourselves,” he says.
“I know.” You sigh again. You can’t seem to stop; it’s as if all the air wants to flee your body as badly as you do. “It’s not that I don’t enjoy it…it’s that I don’t enjoy enjoying it.” You try to crack a joke, and Sirius gives you a small smile, pecking you on the cheek for your efforts. “It’s hard to reprogram myself to think of sex as something that I’m allowed to like, you know?”
Sirius’ grin fades as he nods, eyebrows drawn together pensively. “I think so,” he says. “When I first figured out I liked boys too, it took me a long time to feel like I wasn’t doing something wrong, even though I knew everyone I actually cared about would be fine with it. It’s…like, you have to convince yourself every time that you’re not going to get in trouble, and that even if you do, anyone who could be upset with you is on the wrong side of things.”
You’re nodding before he’s even finished. “Exactly,” you say, fighting the urge to draw your knees to your chest, to make yourself small. “It’s hard to put out the voices saying otherwise, though.”
Sirius hums. “Well,” he says softly, lowering himself over you to press a kiss to your jaw, “suppose you just listen to my voice instead.” He moves downward, to your neck, your chest. The warmth in your core flares up anew. “Whaddya think, my sweet girl?” When he gets to your navel, he slides off the end of the bed. “Wanna try convincing yourself it’s alright while I convince you too?”
You draw breath to answer, but it turns to a gasp when Sirius hooks his hands under your knees without warning, yanking you to the end of the bed. He waits there patiently, breath warming your inner thighs. You can’t find your voice, but you nod. Sirius grins.
“Alright. That’ll do for now, baby, but soon I wanna hear you enjoying yourself. Gonna show those voices who’s really in charge.”

Billy, who has only ever known a life of ‘use or be used’ comes to Hawkins, Indiana with exactly one plan.
To get the fuck back out.
But see, the problem is that that takes money. Money he definitely doesn’t have.
The first night in his new room, he doesn’t bother to unpack. No, he sits on the floor by his bare mattress and he plots.
It’s not worth the risk trying to steal from Neil. Can’t escape this shithole if he’s fucking dead. Getting a job and actually managing to keep the money without his father finding out would be… difficult.
Bored housewives would probably be willing to shell out gifts for the privilege of a quick fuck to forget their balding, miserable husbands. It wasn’t much, but it was a thought to consider.
He leaves that half finished plan open in his brain when he goes to his first day at Hawkins High, only to have the page ripped up and burned at the first sight of one Steve Harrington.
Bored and- seemingly- apathetic pretty boy with absent parents and a big house. Considerably more his type than some desperate midwest housewife with sickly sweet perfume and a simpering voice.
And clearly rich.
By the second week of classes, Billy has caught Steve’s eyes lingering on him a few too many times.
So starts what would become both the only thing that mattered to him, and the worst thing he’d ever do.
His usual charm doesn’t work on Steve, so he goes the other way. Taunts him, a bully pulling on his pigtails until one day Steve snaps and kisses him behind the gym until Billy almost forgets why he’s doing this entirely.
At first, he feels no guilt in it. They don’t talk feelings, it’s just good fucking sex and Steve apparently loves to give gifts.
Gifts that are too thoughtful. Too knowing.
First aid supplies. Clothes. Buying him expensive dinners to make up for the nights Billy was sent to his room without a bite to eat the entire day, even if he didn’t know that.
Billy starts to become more aware of his plan as the days, then months slip by. He thinks of all the times Steve has given him money for gas or other things, how Billy has lied to him. How all that money is stashed away, just waiting for a chance that he can disappear into the night like an asshole outlaw.
Steve becomes his boyfriend and the guilt sits heavy and sticky in his gut. He starts to second guess what he’s been doing.
Billy doesn’t say he’s in love, not even when Steve does. He knows he is- has fought against it with every fibre of his being the whole fucked up way down- but he can’t bring himself to say it when his escape is on the horizon.
He comforts himself by telling himself Steve will forget about him. Move on and marry some docile stay-at-home wife who wouldn’t push his buttons the way Billy did.
But then, late one night, Steve says it again while he’s pressing Billy down into the mattress. And Billy- emotionally taken apart by a particularly bad day at home- crumbles. His eyes fill with tears and he says it back in a fit of weakness. The first time he’s ever said those words to someone.
I love you too.
That’s when his plan starts to fall apart. It’s become annoyingly apparent that he can’t escape this. Doesn’t want to. Steve has become his escape.
So even though it feels like pulling teeth, he starts to empty his stash. He buys Steve gifts now, because spending it on him makes him feel less vile. Takes Steve out on dates.
He finally feels a sense of relief when it’s gone, even if he says goodbye to California mournfully in the same thought.
It’s easier to be around Steve after that, even if a trace of the guilt always lingers. Easier to say he loves him when he isn’t constantly ready to say goodbye. Easier to open up to him.
He finally tells Steve the truth about Neil, and the first thing Steve does is offer him a place in his home if he needs to run.
Billy loves him. He feels free for the first time in his life. He’s happy.
And that’s when Steve finds out the truth.

LOVING YOU IS EASY
gn!reader | bokuto fluff ^___<
“we could go window shopping?” bokuto suddenly suggests from his spot beside you on the bench.
“no we could not.” you laugh in disbelief before looking back down at your phone.
through a series of miscommunication, you and your boyfriend have found yourselves at the mall to watch a movie with his team that isn't playing for another 3 hours. it's a weird amount of time where going home doesn't make sense, but you don't have other plans either.
“why not?”
“because it’s never just window shopping.”
kotaro tilts his head, genuinely confused. “huh? i don’t buy that much.”
“for you. i put something back and you’re suddenly behind me putting it in a cart i didn’t even see you grab,” you explain with a light flick to his forehead. “stop spending your money on me.”
kotaro pouts and shifts in his spot beside you to get even closer—he always gets more affectionate when he’s trying to convince you of something. you’ve grown accustomed to the way his arms wrap around your center, and his face finds place in the crook of your neck. his hair tickles your face and you lean away, only giving him the opportunity to nuzzle closer and kiss your jaw. “but i like spoiling you. you deserve it.”
“what happens when my closet gets too full from all the clothes you buy me? or there’s no more space on my poor bookshelf?”
“i’ll get you another bookshelf! you can have my closet.”
“yeah? where are your clothes gonna go then?”
“i’ll put them somewhere at the bottom.”
“liar.” you laugh breathily and pinch his cheek. “they’d get all wrinkled and you’d get pouty and ask where the steamer is.”
“then i’ll get a dresser.”
“then why couldn’t i get a dresser?”
“the closet’s more space,” he says as if it were obvious.
“kotaro,” you drag out his name. the way your boyfriend fawns over has always been a little hard to believe. it was easy for anyone to see that loving you came effortlessly to him, affection woven into every breath he took and gaze that landed in your vicinity. when you’d ask how and why, what it was about you, his brows would furrow and he’d purse his lips. “what do you mean? everything about you, i guess?”
and it's not like you didn’t have your own income to get him gifts either. but every time you do, your boyfriend seems to take it as a sign to get you double what you got him. it isn’t in a competitive way—he’s told you himself that he just gets so happy that he wants to make sure you’re even happier.
so you make yourself welcome his affection and every “i love you” he yells before having to part ways. you let every hug and kiss wrap around you like a blanket, let them seep into your bones and whisper soft words of affection that promised to love you the same to the ends of the earth, or until you’d believe each one as easily as they were spoken.
but you think guilt would always find its way, slipping through hidden cracks in the heart you’ve built, chipping away in search of its companion, hatred, slumbering somewhere inside.
kotaro looks up at you at the sound of his name, hair tickling you again, and eyes somewhere between pleading and determined. your noses are only a few inches apart, as if a closer proximity would make your words soak into him easier. “i’m serious, you don’t have to spend your money on me, ko.”
“and i’m serious when i say i want to.” he says, furrowing his brows and bringing his hands up to cup your face, too. you’re sure the both of you look silly, sitting on a bench, holding each other’s faces, but kotaro doesn’t hesitate or care about passersby.
you’re not sure he ever has when it came to loving you.
“i don’t want you to worry about stuff like that, y’know? i have more than enough money to spend to make you happy, so why wouldn’t i?”
he says your name, in a tone more serious than his usual one. “i love you. i love getting you things and seeing you happy. you always think i’m giving you too much, right? but i don’t think so. even if you don’t see it, you do a lot for me just by being you. this is me showing you i love you just as much, and that you can rely on me, too.”
you’re not surprised at how easily he speaks, yet your eyes still search his, looking for some kind of hesitation, a sign he’s lying that you know doesn’t exist. you huff. “if i’m super cheesy and say i don’t need your money to be happy, will you stop spending it?”
he smiles at you. “nope! ���cause i already know that.”
you sigh, lips twitching into a defeated smile. “don’t know why i tried.”
“so i can keep spoiling you? if we check out the new store that opened, i promise i won’t spend a lot this time.”
“what’s considered a lot?”
“dunno, maybe a few shirts?” he considers. you shoot him a look of disbelief. “...less than a few? is a few five? four? three? it’s three? by definition?”
“ko.”
“three. okay. the price of three shirts. really! seriously. there was just something i think you’d like—”
“ko.”
“baby, okay, what if—okay, something we’d like?” he starts to stand up, hands grabbing yours to pull you up with him.
you jokingly groan and pull back. “will we make it back in time for the movie?”
“of course! trust me,” he reassures you. you don’t trust him, of course. yet at the same time you jut out your lips, you let your fingers interlock with his so he can pull you, and kotaro shoots you a grin—the same one he always has around you, still coming as easily as spoiling and loving you seemed to.
seeing the same green divider in all my notifications has been driving me not up but Through a wall in a Very big truck going Very fast so i will be regularly using different colours now.

Back in March when I was doing the BL Challenge (brought to us by the lovely @negrowhat), I mentioned in my post about Korn Theerapanyakul that it isn't often that we get an actual villain who isn't just a love rival in a BL. The presence of an antagonist in a story doesn't necessarily make them the villain and not every story calls for one either. That being said,
Jak is a villain.
I want to break down this shot because it tells us a lot about the dynamic at play and Jak's point of view.
There's a lot going on here. The first thing my eye is drawn to is the line between them (and how Mut is just slightly crossing it since he stepped into the lion's den). Once you see that, the differences between both sides of that line become more obvious.
Mahasamut is dressed in a dark cool color and he's in shadow but his face is catching the light. The flowers, fireplace, candles, and TV behind him feel warm and homey. Fitting for a cafe. On the other hand, Jak is dressed in a warm light color and he's sitting in the light but his face is in shadow. The windows behind him and his positioning makes it feel like he's sitting at a desk in a corner office in a high rise instead of a cafe.
I weirdly wish they'd shown us when they arrived at the table because I would bet you anything that Jak sat down first. He's the older one, he's relaxed, etc. It makes sense for him to have sat first which means he chose that specific seat and the only reason I mention it, and really the only reason it matters, is that it tells us how Jak sees himself in this situation.
He's sitting there in the light in his dad sweater telling Mahasamut about wanting to fulfill his role as Tongrak's father and that he's so sorry about his behavior in the past and wants to atone for it and it's all bullshit because look at this man's face.
It is completely shadowed, just like his intentions and his agenda whereas Mut's is completely in the light.
And the difference becomes even more stark once Jak tells Mut to break up with Tongrak.
Jak is spewing nothing but ill-intentioned bullshit and Mahasamut sees it for what it is and makes it clear that he isn't going to fall for it, which is why things devolve.
Now. Just so we can get it out of the way, yes, obviously Mut should not have agreed to that meeting. He shouldn't have engaged and should've put the baby in the car and driven in the opposite direction. I was screaming at my screen for him to do just that, as were many of us I'm sure. However, I have to point out that it is not inconsistent for him from a character writing standpoint to have agreed.
Lest we forget, he said this to Tongrak last week when he was explaining why he turned Prin down when she tried to buy him.
"But Leah the dad is so much worse how could he not see—!" I know. Trust me, I do.
I'm gonna put on my baseball uniform and go to bat for my man for a second though because I think part of the reason that he agreed to talk to Jak is that he vastly underestimated him. And to be completely fair to Mahasamut, I did, too.
If I had to guess, I would say that he was expecting to be dealing with someone cut from the same cloth as Prin. Maybe a little worse since he knows what Jak has done in the past but certainly nothing he couldn't handle. Mahasamut is not a reckless or a thoughtless man. I don't believe for a second he would've even walked in the building if he didn't feel confident that he could deal with Jak.
The problem is that Jak is very much not cut from the same cloth as Prin.
I noted in my expressions post that it looked like the only time Jak was actually feeling something was when he accepted Prin's offer to destroy Tongrak but that's not entirely accurate. Having gone back to watch his scenes, there's a second instance where genuine emotion peeks through.
There's such a cold rage in his expression when he reproaches Tongrak for choosing his mother and cutting ties with him. And make no mistake, he's not angry because he loves his son. We already know that he doesn't. He's angry because in his eyes, he lost to a woman he felt nothing but disdain for.
If Tongrak and Kwan had chosen Jak over their mother, do you think Jak would be out here causing problems? No, he would've flat out ignored them. He wouldn't bother keeping such close tabs on Rak and his relationships because he would've already won and if he's doing it now, it's because he wants to win.
This is a game to him. This is fun for him.
His son is terrified and begging him not to hurt an innocent little girl and a young man and Jak's response is, "Don't be greedy."
He tries to force his son to choose which one of the people he loves most in this world gets to be safe but the choice isn't really a choice. He says he'll choose for Rak and he already has. Jak had already had Mahasamut beaten by the time he comes to see Tongrak and we know that because Mut's injuries have been treated when Rak gets home and Vivi is already there.
Matter of fact, the only reason Jak is even here talking to his son is because his attempt to convince Mut to leave has failed and he knows that going to Rak won't fail. He knows his son is afraid of him and he knows he can use that fear to get what he wants, which is why he brings up the uncle doctor.
Although we've gotten little of Jak so far, it's safe to assume that he is not a man who makes empty threats. Tongrak knows this, too, which is why he becomes so panicked when the doctor is brought up. We as the audience don't know who this doctor is but we can surmise from Tongrak's expression that he's important enough to be used as a weapon by Jak.
Until this point I don't think Tongrak realized that his father had anything to do with whatever happened to this doctor, he looks genuinely surprised. But all Jak had to do to prove how serious he is about his threat is mention the man. That's all he does. Rak puts the pieces together himself.
And here is where I bring up next week.
If you can look at this man's face as he rips the contract and think for a moment that he's going to try to push Mahasamut away for some flimsy petty reason, I am here to tell you that you are dead wrong. If I so much as SEE the words 'noble idiocy' I'm going to kick off.
Because we know that by the time Tongrak picks up this contract to rip it, Mahasamut has already been beaten twice and that Jak made a barely veiled threat to have him killed. Rak is rightfully terrified of his father and afraid for his boyfriend's life and wanting to keep Mut safe and ALIVE is not noble idiocy.
Now is it going to work? Smart money says no, wild horses couldn't drag Mahasamut away. He loves Rak too much to take any threats lying down. But as much as I understand why Mut talked to Jak, I understand why Rak wants to keep him safe even more.
Jak didn't accept Prin's offer because he wanted to help her. He doesn't give a single shit about her agenda except to mock her for it. He agreed to destroy his son because he wants to, because doing so will allow him to win and get back at his ex-wife. The money is just a bonus.
Jak is a Villain.
#rewatching jak's scenes does not get any less brutal fyi#there are only two reasons why something is hard to watch:#because it's done poorly or because it's done well#and this was done very well#love sea#love sea the series#meta#conversations with leah

━☞🍽️ Sixth Course: You've always wished for him the best life could offer. But what if you are the best that the universe could ever offer to him? Be salty enough, you guess? 🥢
🎧: Olivia Rodrigo - Happier
wc: 678
genre & warnings: angst, fluff if u squint, lovers to exes to friends, Yeji from ITZY, etc etc
a/n: this is a part of The Sour Restaurant series. if y'all want, you can read the other album inspired fics of other groups here.
"Look! It's adorable! Do you think Mingi will like this?" the girl squeals, grabbing a lilac sweater and showing it to you.
You examined the fabric, and somehow, it made you remember the exact clothing that Mingi prefers.
Gray. Cotton. Oversized.
Still, Mingi will appreciate the thoughtful gift.
"Yeah, he'll love it. Especially since you bought it." you smile, and the girl jumps excitedly, immediately buying the sweater before clinging to you.
"Thank you so much for accompanying me." Yeji hooks her arm with yours, happily skipping in the mall and you can only give her a weak smile.
"It's no problem, really. I'm glad that I can help you." you mumble, laughing a bit when she whines about how helpful you are.
Lies.
Who on earth would feel any ounce of joy when the current girlfriend is asking the ex-girlfriend to help her with picking a gift.. for the man that was once yours and now her boyfriend.
You suppose that it's normal (self gaslight), since you and Mingi broke up mutually, and you two are in the same circle of friends.
The romantic aspect of your relationship was long gone but the camaraderie remains.
It was a well-thought decision on both sides, for the sake of your friends and family, to be casual with each other with no hard feelings.
It was fine and all, until he got a new girl.
You have to bear the pain of watching him be a better, or best, version of himself simply because he is utterly in love with her.
Her being Yeji.
As much as you wanted to hate her, you can't.
Not only is she pretty, but she's also very mature.
When you first met her and she learned that you and Mingi were exes, the way she handled the information was excellent. You explained to her the situation and the agreement, and she was very understanding.
She embraced you fully, accepting you like a sister. She showed you kindness, basically an angel sent from heaven to grace you with blessings. No jealousy, no hostility, only pure intentions.
You hated the way Mingi smiles at her adoringly, his eyes crinkling with affection with the same valor that was once reserved for you.
You hated it whenever Mingi did things for Yeji that he failed to do during your relationship.
But you hated it the most whenever it was shoved in your face that Mingi had found someone new but you still haven't.
You have been replaced so easily while you continuously find it difficult to love again.
The bottom line of all these though, is the fact that you can't hate Yeji.
She has been nothing but a good friend to you. She supported you when you needed it the most, gave you gifts, and she even tried to make you date when you spilled to her the ever growing insecurity of wanting to be with someone again.
You don't despise it when she handed the gift to Mingi, said man happily accepted it then proceeded to give her a loving kiss.
Loathe is not an emotion you harbor but rather... melancholy.
When Yeji turned to you with a proud smile, you had no choice but to act like everything was okay.
You watch her whisper to Mingi, then he turns to you to give you a thumbs up, to which you roll your eyes at him before doing the same thing.
You did wish for him to lead a life of rainbows and flowers, but you weren't ready to witness it.
You did pray for him to meet someone but not so soon, as it gives you a sense of bitterness that the gods listen to you when you pray for someone, but never to you since you are always facing some sort of a challenge before completely having the things that you wanted.
A sigh escapes your lips as your eyes follow the joyful couple.
Selfish yes, but somehow, you hoped that paradise wouldn't come so effortlessly for them unless a storm comes in first.

ARE YOU SURE?!: FIRST EPISODE.
MY IMPRESSIONS.
I want to preface this by saying that this is not an analysis post, and honestly, I don’t want to overanalyse their interactions—everything they said and did. Many others are doing that. My intention with this post is to share my thoughts on the episodes, my impressions, and perhaps my conclusions.
I’m writing this while watching the episodes for the second time.
So, Jimin was really the one who came up with the idea for the show and the one who got it started, while Jungkook just went with the flow. That’s so them, isn’t it? It reminds me a bit of Malta, not just what they did but also what Hobi and Joon said at the time.
The first episode is interesting for several reasons. The most obvious, I think, is the initial dynamic between Jimin and Jungkook. I feel there were things we obviously didn’t know, but at the beginning of the episode, there was a certain… pettiness? in their interactions. At times, they were a bit passive-aggressive with each other, but not in a malicious way. However, when they said something, they would look at each other as if to imply there was more going on than we could see or know.
Many in the fandom always say that Jimin and Yoongi bicker like an old married couple, but Jimin and Jungkook do it too, and this episode was a perfect example of that. Jimin and Jungkook are very similar, and that means they know which buttons to push to annoy each other, which seems to be the intention of both, especially Jimin’s. Jungkook is a bit calmer and tends to react when Jimin is being a bit more bratty than usual.
The start of the episode also confirmed something we already knew and that was obvious last year: Jimin was busy for a while and Jungkook wasn’t, then Jungkook was busy for a while and Jimin wasn’t, and it didn’t fit into their schedules. And I don’t know, but Jungkook sounded a bit bitter talking about it ajajajajajaj. It makes sense if we remember all the times Jungkook mentioned Jimin in his Wlives and invited him to do things.
At the beginning of the episode, we also saw that slight awkwardness Jimin and Jungkook sometimes feel when it’s just the two of them in front of a camera. It’s not a bad thing; it’s just that they seem to be so on guard that they don’t know how to act. This reminded me a lot of the Vlive they did in 2020.
As the episode progressed, they became more comfortable, but they continued bickering like an old married couple, which is very much Jimin and Jungkook. From what I’ve seen, that has surprised some fans. In my opinion, Jimin and Jungkook have always been like this; the difference is that this time it’s just the two of them, so it’s more obvious.
Jungkook saying that he and Jimin should buy the same clothes doesn’t help the allegations that they like to dress alike or at least coordinate their outfits, haha.
Jimin and Jungkook boxing out of nowhere at the checkout is peak Jikook, but something that hasn’t changed, and which we saw in both episodes, is how gentle they are with each other. Even when they were pretending to “fight,” there was always a certain tenderness in the way they touched each other. It reminded me of those times when Jungkook would playfully hit Jimin but would do it so carefully that it ended up being cute. Remember when during an ISAC, Jungkook hit Jimin with an ARMY Bomb and immediately hit himself to confirm that the ARMY Bomb hadn’t hurt Jimin too much? Well, something like that happened during these episodes. Jungkook, in particular, is always super careful when it comes to Jimin—except when he’s asleep, I guess, haha.
There were definitely moments when they said or did something that was an inside joke or something only they understood. For example, when they were at the brewery, Jimin started laughing, and Jungkook told him not to laugh alone. I’m not sure if that was because of the interaction just seconds before or what, but it happened several times in the first episode, in particular.
So, was bickering their new thing at that time? Okay, haha.
Jungkook falling off the kayak, Jimin laughing, and the staff running to help him, while Jungkook was only concerned about his phone, is peak comedy, haha. Jungkook being salty because he fell and Jimin didn’t, and wanting Jimin to fall off the kayak or knock him over, is too funny and very Jungkook. I think that fall bruised his ego a bit; he’s the cool and athletic guy—things like that don’t happen to him! Haha.
Jimin saying he had to be careful preparing the ramyeon because he knew how particular Jungkook is about it is just too cute.
It’s funny that Jungkook was complaining at the beginning of the trip about his bad luck with water and his sore throat, but Jimin ended up with stomach issues, his meat falling on the ground, being bitten by mosquitoes, and getting hit by Jungkook’s shoe, haha.
Why does stuff like this always happen to these guys when they do these kinds of shows? One loses his passport, another gets lost, another can’t travel with the others, and now someone gets a stomach bug, haha.
I demand to see a clip of them sleeping in that cabin. I refuse to believe those cameras didn’t have night vision or whatever it’s called and didn’t capture what happened. I hope some of that is in the behind-the-scenes footage because Jimin and Jungkook made a big deal of it in the last Wlive they did with Joon and Tae.
Also, I know the bed wasn’t very big, but how close was Jimin to Jungkook that he elbowed him right in the nose? I need answers; I need the recordings of that moment!
Honestly, I’m not sure if all of this makes sense, but I don’t want to change it because I wrote it all while watching the episode, and I don’t want to “perfect” it.
My conclusion about the first episode:
Jimin and Jungkook were very much themselves at the beginning: awkward, sassy, shy, and with a lot of complicity that could be interpreted differently. From what I saw, many understood it differently. I don’t know, maybe I’m the one who’s wrong. The only difference or more obvious thing is that Jimin and Jungkook tend to bicker quite a lot, with Jimin almost always being the instigator. I suppose he still likes being scolded by Jungkook.
The first episode was perfect for them to get into the flow of their dynamic. As they said, they hadn’t travelled together or seen each other for a bit, although I imagine they meant they hadn’t spent so much time together, maybe alone. 2023 was a year when their schedules didn’t align for various reasons, until July.
In the first episode, I saw the same Jimin and Jungkook as always, a bit more independent and sassy, but nothing really new. Their dynamic is the same but different.
I hope all this makes sense, and if not, well, I’m sorry. Remember that English is not my first language, haha.
I think I’ll do this for all the episodes; I’ll definitely do it for the second one.

hheeyy I am probably gonna buy your pirate book regardless, because it does sound wonderful, but just so I know what I'm getting my little ace brain into: the gizmodo article you linked described Brother Julian as having "a frankly inconvenient vow of celibacy" and i had terrible flashbacks of the way the dragon age 2 fandom talked about Sebastian so like. Does Julian *also* think his vow is inconvenient, or am I going to have to go in accepting that funny queer pirates who resolve things with polyamory is worth wincing through a few conversations where his suitors just Cannot Believe someone so hot doesn't want to fuck oh my we must save him from himself or. whatever the fuck. Again, i loved A Touch Of Gold And Iron so I do trust you, but I've had authors i trust suddenly and unthinkingly have their characters spout aphobic talking points before, so i just want a warning, i guess. Thank you and I promise this isn't intended as a judgement of any kind, just me making sure I'm taking care of myself
No worries! I have not seen any of the Dragon Age 2 discourse and I don't know who Sebastian is, but I think I can sort of glean from context what you mean.
The answer about Julian is a little spoilery for mostly worldbuilding and a bit of his character arc, but not plot. I'm gonna try to put it under a cut, but tumblr is broken sometimes, so if the cut does not work, I apologize to the general public.
Julian is a monk of the Vintish church, which is sort of "what if the Catholic church but make it The Enlightenment" -- their religion teaches that the pursuit of knowledge and Understanding is deeply holy and that the Emperor of Heaven filled the world with mysteries specifically because he wanted humanity to figure out his little puzzles. Monks of this church take vows not to give up all "sinful" things, but to give up the one thing that occupies their mind above all else and causes them to be distracted from the pursuit of knowledge. For some people that might be alcohol, or gambling, or an addiction, or wearing pretty clothes, or anger/resentment, or whatever. For Julian, that thing was sex. He is the most allosexual man who has ever lived. He LOVED sex. It was a source of pure joy and delight and fulfillment for him -- he's one of those people who can find something wonderful and attractive in pretty much everyone he meets.
There were some Urgent Circumstances fifteen years ago in his past where taking that vow was preferable to the alternative that would have happened if he hadn't taken it, so in that sense it was a tool that served a purpose -- it was at one point a deeply convenient way of saving his own ass. I also think it was an important lesson for Young Julian to realize that sometimes you have to make sacrifices and that sacrifices HURT.
However, whether he would say in hindsight now that it was inconvenient... I think he has mixed feelings. He's very good at nuance, Julian is, and so he recognizes that all his experiences have made him into the person who he is and that he has Learned and Grown and Gained Knowledge Of Himself, which he does sincerely believe is a holy and righteous thing -- he deeply values the journey that he has been on. But at the same time.... at his heart he's just a fun guy and secretly an absolute gremlin in his own ways, you know? And tools that were once useful and relevant do not always remain so. Hope that helps!! I am on the ace/demi spectrum myself, so I've got some irritating experiences of the ways that people write about ace characters and try to "fix" them -- this is definitely not that situation.
Also, just cause you mentioned you're ace -- FYI there isn't any on-page sex in the book, just lots of dumb sex jokes and flirting. :)

what would naoyas reaction be to finding out Satoru was y/ns first kiss?
Hello!!
Well, it would be chaos. LOL. Poor Naoya is very insecure even if it doesn't look like it 🤣 but why say this when I can show you?
warnings: fluff. a jealous naoya. satoru is a jerk? maybe. he likes to be silly. a lot. too much. also not sure if to tag this as a regular prompt or a side story, but considering that happened in my fic... i've decided to take it as a small side story.
Happy reading!
He would lose it. Even if you explained that it was nothing but a bet, curiosity getting the best of you and no feelings involved, Naoya would take this as a quick starter for his one-sided competition against Satoru.
He just had to prove how he was so much better than the Gojo heir in everything; from clothes, to cars, to what phone model he had for the moment, even the places he took you out to eat!
And naturally, Satoru wouldn’t even know what was going on, believing Naoya was simply doing whatever spoiled heirs did (never him, of course. Self-awareness is out the window) though he was curious to know what you thought of the matter, you appeared to be quite… overwhelmed by these sudden changes, surely, you’d be able to offer some insight behind all this.
Thus, after asking you to meet at a nearby café…
“You mean to say you don’t know why your husband is acting all…” Satoru scowls, failing to find the right word to describe his behavior, if there even was one…
“No, really, I don’t! I mean… sometimes he just likes to buy things! Sometimes for himself, sometimes for me, especially after a well-done mission or simply because we’ve been apart for far too long. I don’t like it when he does it impulsively, though, since I suspect he gets in trouble with his family over it…” You say. “Well, that’s a bit off topic—anyways, I don’t think he’s doing anything… differently. Why do you ask?”
“Come on, Y/N. You don’t actually believe that do you?? I’ve seen it in your eyes, you know that isn’t your typical obnoxious Naoya—”
“Don’t say that of him. And, well, I guess he’s been a bit off, but…”
“There! Now, let’s backtrack your steps, when did he begin acting this way?”
“Why does it matter so much to you? You’re the same too!” You frown.
Because he’s been far more attentive than he liked to let on; noticing that whenever he went all-out on his spending, he was around. With anyone else he was just… normal, he supposes. If that adjective could even be used on Naoya.
Or maybe because he didn’t want to take his actions as a reflection of his own. But since when did he even care what others thought of him? Might’ve been after one nasty comment from your sister…
“I’m actually more likeable but thank you for trying.” Satoru says, you roll your eyes. “Anyways, when did he begin acting this way?”
“Oh, if you really must know then I guess a few days ago?”
“And what happened then? You have to give me all the details Y/N! Don’t half-ass your story!”
“You’ll have to be nicer about it if you want me to tell you!”
“I’ll buy you any sweet you want—”
“I already have Naoya for that.”
“Then I’ll get you a copy of that game you’ve been looking for ages, deal?”
“Alright, alright.” You sigh, conceding. “…I mean, I don’t think there’s much else for me to tell you. We kind of just talk about anything that crosses our minds; make the most of our time together before he has to leave for work again, you know?”
“Ugh, that’s gross.”
“Satoru!”
“I mean—oh, poor you; anyhow, there must’ve been something you said that made him act this way! Come on, remember!”
“Well, we… we talked about wanting to go down to the city for dinner, before settling for the garden. We then laughed about something funny that happened to one of the servants, something that reminded me of that one thing I did when I was younger—with you, actually! You know which one, when I bet you a kiss—”
Oh.
OH.
And just like that, everything made sense.
“No, Satoru—I know that look, don’t even—!”
“Jealous?! Your husband’s acting like that because he’s jealous? Of me?!?” Gojo shrieked, undoubtedly having the time of his life with this revelation.
“No, he’s not! Stop it already, it’s not even funny…”
“I mean, surely you must know how he is.” He snickers. “He’s always been the competitive one, even when we were kids! I just never thought it would come to you—do you think he fears I’m going to steal you away? Or maybe—oh no, are you falling for me, Y/N??”
“What?! You need to lay off whatever it is you consume; it’s affecting your perception of reality!”
“How about it? Wanna see the limits his jealousy takes him to?” Satoru continues teasing. “Ah, he must be devastated that I took your sweet first time, do you think he has nightmares because of it? Wonders if he could ever compare to me?”
“No! Now, if you excuse me, there’s some misunderstandings I need to clear up.” You swiftly interrupt, standing up from your seat before making your way back home, back to an anxious Naoya who has been nothing but torturing himself with self-deprecating thoughts ever since you told him you were to meet Satoru. His biggest contender for your affections so it seems, the one putting his marriage in jeopardy…
But thankfully, you were there to ease all of these hurtful thoughts away, once and for all.
“Naoya… my dear, can we talk?”
“…What is it?” a pout on his face as he grumbles, side effects of his overwhelming jealousy.
“There’s a reason why you’ve done all that… compulsive spending, isn’t you?”
“No. I just do it because I want to.” He responds sternly, you sigh.
“I know why, Naoya. You don’t have to hide it anymore.” You reveal, making him tense for a quick moment before sighing too. “It was long ago, and it didn’t mean anything to me.”
“Ugh, I know, and yet—I can’t help but feel resentful. Like I… I lost something.”
“Oh, Naoya… but that was just a silly thing I did as a child, you know?” you coo, soon wrapping your arms around him and pulling him to you. “Besides, you’ve taken something much more important from me.”
“What?”
“My heart—and that is something no one will ever win from you, not even Satoru.”
“…I truly acted like a child, haven’t I?” Naoya says, embarrassed.
“Well, I always thought you were cute when jealous, but… never to the extent of making you insecure. Less with someone as annoying as him! How could you possibly even think I liked him?” you giggle.
“I don’t know… He’s… not that bad, I guess.” He looks away, flustered.
“Yet, he’s not you, silly.” You say, standing on your tiptoes to give place a sweet kiss on the lips. His heart warms up for the first time since that day, slowly melting away all his uncertainties. “He’ll never be. Thank God! So… does this mean we can settle everything and leave all this behind?”
“Only if you show me how much better I am than Satoru…”
“Was that even disputable?” you ask, Naoya’s arms snaking around your waist and pulling you even closer.
“No, I just need a reminder—wouldn’t mind a demonstration for him too…” he teases, you frown.
“… Just one kiss, and that’s it. Nothing more. You know I don’t like it when other sees us like this.”
“Of course, you’re only mine, after all.”
Y/N to the rescue 🥺 But don't I seem to always write her reassuring him? Thankfully I do have something planned for that... a jealous Y/N that needs to be reminded of how much Naoya truly loves her :))))
Anyways, thank you so much for sending in this ask!!! I'm sure I've spoken about Naoya reacting to Y/N's first kiss and how it involved Satoru (unfortunately) but this time around I've decided to write a little something :> I hope you enjoyed it!
Now, take care and hope to see you soon!

Wake up every morning to this groundhog day
written for @steddieholidaydrabbles prompt: time travel au | rated: t | wc: 552 | tags: time loop au, pre steddie Steve gets stuck in a time loop, but is he the only one? Title from Rio by Mika
The first day, Steve thought it had been a weird dream when he woke up to everything being the exact same as it had been the day before. He tried his best to convince himself, despite the fact he felt like he was repeating everything he'd done the day before, the strangest sense of deja vu.
But then it happened again.
And again.
And again.
And again.
Soon enough, Steve had lived a week of the same day. Waking up to the clothes he'd worn the day before clean in his closet again. The leftovers he'd eaten for dinner were back in the refrigerator. The weed he'd purchased was gone from the pocket of his bag, the money he'd spent on it tucked in it's place. It was really starting to freak him out, but he knew he couldn't bring it up to anyone without them thinking he was insane. Not that he had many people to bring it up to, he no longer spoke to Tommy and Carol, everything was awkward with Nancy since the break up, and there was no way in hell he was going to mention it to the kids, because they would convince themselves that it was somehow Upside Down related and panic and throw themselves into trouble.
So, for the most part, he just tried to follow the motions. Hoping that it would resolve itself. He kept a look out to see if there were any tiny details that changed in each repetition of the day, but came up blank. Even if he tried to change parts of his routine, skipping buying weed, skipping school, changing where and what he ate, it didn't make much difference. He still kept waking up to the same day over and over again.
He ended up buying and smoking weed everyday. It helped calm him down, stop him from freaking out so much. He guessed that because the day kept resetting itself, the weed disappeared from his system when the time moved back. And it wasn't like he was wasting tons of money on it, was he was spending the same money each day, he'd even memorized the serial numbers on the bills, checking them each morning.
"Jesus Christ, Harrington. Chill, you seem so on edge today." Eddie said as he watched Steve from the picnic bench in the woods. Steve had stumbled into the clearing for the daily deal, feeling more and more out of it each day.
"Sorry. I just. I feel like I'm going insane." Steve mumbled, dropping to sit on the opposite side of the bench. He buried his face in his arms.
"I've been feeling like that ever since I started high school." Eddie replied, pulling out baggies of weed from his metal lunchbox. "Tell me what's going on, if I'm feeling generous I might throw in a little extra for free."
"It's. I keep living the same day over and over and over and over. Everyday, it's the Third of April, and it's been like that for so long I've lost count. No matter what I do, nothing changes. I just wake up the next day and it's the Third of April again."
Eddie didn't say anything for a few moments, instead just watching Steve closely. Then finally, "It's been happening to you too?"

I told you guys I was going to write it
"No, you don't."
Toji's voice echoed on the walls and in Shiu's ears like an ineluctable truth. He stood still, arm crossed on his chest, staring at the middleman with an unimpressed look on his face.
"What ?"
"I said you don't," he repeated but it still didn't make sense to the Korean man. "You don't love me."
Shiu blinked and stayed silent. What was he even supposed to say to that ? What kind of rejection was that ? He expected many things from Toji, he honestly didn't think the man would accept his feelings easily, but this was more violent and weird than any scenario he had played in his head before confessing. He was so ready to handle Toji being on the defensive, claiming that he's not interested in men (despite them fucking every now and then, often after a job), that now he didn't know how to react to the man saying that he -Shiu- didn't actually love him. As if he was wrong about his own feelings.
It could be worse, Shiu thought. Toji could have laughed at him or called him a slur. That wouldn't be too surprising. Actually, that would be more realistic than Toji's actual reaction.
"What makes you say that ?" And, because the other man didn't answer the question, Toji felt the need to elaborate. "What makes you think that you have feelings for me ?"
"Huh," Shiu hesitated, because this was a weird thing to ask someone who just confessed.
It was embarrassing enough to fall in love with Toji Fushiguro -the infamous Sorcerer Killer- and it had been hard to gather the courage to tell him, and now he was supposed to justify his feelings ? Was this a prank or what ? Did he anger a god or something ? How did he even end up in this painfully ridiculous situation ?
"Well," he started and immediately looked away. Toji's insensitive stare was uncomfortable. "Hum, I guess I... I feel happy when you're around ? I mean, sure you're annoying, you're a sick bastard, but you still manage to make me feel better just by standing near me. I can't stop myself from looking at you whenever we're in the same room, I want to touch you and kiss you and talk to you. So... Yeah, things, like that, you know ?"
Toji hummed lightly. He hadn't moved an inch, eyes entirely focused on the man who apparently was insane enough to fall in love with him. Or to believe so.
Shiu was uncomfortable. He wanted to go home. He knew he'd regret confessing, he regretted having feelings even before talking about them. He had no idea what was on Toji's mind or what he wanted him to say, so he kept going, hoping that the man would finally stop staring holes through his soul like that.
"And, uh, when you smile... Fuck that's embarrassing- Hum, alright. When you smile or laugh it does something to my heart, I can't really explain it, but it feels good."
"That's it ?" Toji asked with a raised eyebrow. He didn't look convinced at all. "That's not love Shiu, you just find me good-looking, you don't have actual feelings."
Shiu frowned. He was getting frustrated and annoyed by that shithead's attitude. He didn't go through all stages of grief when he realized he was in love for that bastard to tell him he doesn't know what Love is. That was bullshit. He had spent a while wondering about his feelings, trying to hide them or deny them before finally accepting them. He wasn't an inexperienced teenager who didn't know the difference between finding someone handsome and being actually in love.
"You want more proofs ? Alright, let's go through this. I already started so I might as well tell you everything."
Shiu sighed and silently prayed to not blush while declaring all the cheesy thoughts he had about that motherfucker.
"I learned your favorite dish, and your favorite drink, and your favorite TV show too. I even learned how to cook it so you can eat it when you're staying at my place. I hesitated to buy something for your birthday, but you don't like celebrating it so I didn't do it. I also bought XXL clothes so you have something to wear when you come here unannounced and decide to stay a few nights. I actually want you to stay every night, and every day. I want to take you on a date, hold your hand when we're outside, share some food in a shitty restaurant because why not, go watch a movie and fall asleep against your shoulder cause the movie would be boring. I want to kiss you even when we're not fucking. I can't get enough of your lips, I want to taste them every hour of each day and to call you with a stupid petname because you're adorable and I fucking love you. And this is stupid, I don't even know why I'm talking so much, but you're doing this to me and I'm not going to pretend these fucking feelings don't exist."
He took a deep breath after blurting out all of this and tried not to think about how much he wanted to bury himself in the ground. He couldn't look at Toji, but he could feel that the killer was still staring at him.
"That doesn't mean anything," Toji retorted dubiously. "I feel that too and I'm not in love with you."
Shiu blinked.
"What ?" He turned his eyes toward the man. "What the fuck do you mean, you feel the same ???"
Toji sighed as if it was a stupid question. Shiu wanted to punch him because he was clearly not the one being stupid right now.
"Well, what you just said," he waved vaguely at Shiu. "That's what I feel when I'm with you. The heart thing with your cute smile and wanting to touch you 'cause you're warm. And your place is nice, there's good food and hot water, I wanna stay too. But since I don't have feelings, it means you mixed up love with something else."
Shiu stared with his eyes wide open. He opened his mouth, closed it, breathed deeply, and opened it again. Toji chuckled quietly, he thought he looked like a very confused fish.
Shiu was indeed confused. Confused about how the hell did that grown ass man not realize that he was madly in love too. He just said he felt the exact same thing, and he dared to claim he didn't love him back ? That better be a prank.
"...You find me cute ?"
Toji shrugged.
"Yeah, sometimes." He said that as if it was normal. Shiu wanted to kiss him. And punch him too, but perhaps after making love passionately with that huge dumbass.
"And you'd like to stay at my place ?"
"You cook well, and your bed is comfortable. Better than mine."
"What about holding hands and kissing ?" Shiu tried, confused but hopeful.
"Yeah yeah, I told you, it's all the same ! Well, maybe not the clothes things cause I don't have money to spend on it, but sometimes I take your stuff home cause it has your smell and I like that."
"..."
He didn't even have the words to explain to him how not normal what Toji just said was. He stared. The bastard stared back.
The problem was pretty clear to Toji, and it wasn't really a problem since he managed to solve it in two minutes. There was nothing to worry about. They didn't need to stop their little coworker with benefits arrangement and Toji was quite happy with that. He also found it kinda funny that Shiu really believed he caught feelings. The middleman liked to pretend he was the mature and smart one but sometimes he was really dumb.
Toji understood how Shiu felt toward him, like he said it was exactly the same on his side. If it was like Shiu said, that'd mean that Toji had feelings too, which was completely ridiculous. Toji wasn't a romantic man, but as far as he knew, love was more like . . .
Since they felt the same thing then-
And Toji knew he wasn't-
Which meant-
...Oh.
Well, fuck.
Maybe Shiu did love him after all.
#tojishiu#mini fic#jjk fic#fushiguro toji#kong shiu#jujutsu kaisen#shiutoji#jjk toji#jjk shiu#jjk#toji x shiu#Toji being a dumbass who doesn't realize his feelings unless Shiu shoves them down his throat is now my favorite trope#you have to imagine that after the “as far as he knew love was-” there's a session of short flashbacks of what Toji admitted feeling#and all the cute moments they spent together being flirty and all#and Toji opens wide his eyes and loses his serious stance and feels his heart panic before the “Oh.”#(peak comedy)

Bitchy Besties: Bitchy Bonus
Here is a bonus chapter for my Bitchy Besties story. This is the night before Kate arrives to school as Kayleigh. I wanted the audience to not know who was going to walk in the next day, Kate or Kayleigh so omitted the following, but I couldn’t leave it in my drafts so now you all get to read it! Enjoy!
—
Kate stared at her reflection unsure of what to do. Was everything she was feeling just some sort of after glow of being like and respected? For years she had been content to fade into the background and be unseen but now that she had gotten a taste of popularity she didn’t know if she could go back to her old anonymous life.
Her phone began to chirp as more people started to like the post of her and Tanya. Unable to stop herself she picked up the phone and went to Instagram. Her eyes went wide with the amount of likes and comments the pic had received in such a short period of time. She hadn’t even posted anything herself, she had just been tagged. She couldn’t help but wonder how much attention, how many likes and followers she could get from a post of her own, without the boost from Tanya but she couldn’t exactly post as herself though.
That’s when her eyes drifted over to the bag that contained ‘Kayleigh’. Did she dare? Even as she was contemplating it she was already standing up from her bed.
“It could help me decide what to do, I guess? I could see what people think of me outside of Tanya’s orbit. To see if Kayleigh is actually popular. I mean it makes sense right?” She said justifying it to herself as she unzipped the bag, letting the contents drop out. She quickly snatched the hair up and clipped it to her own. Setting it place she looked at herself in the mirror and felt her confidence return.
“Of course this is the right option, it’s the only way to know for sure.” She said more assuredly as she tossed her glasses to the side and started to reapply the sexy makeup. It wasn’t like before when she was stabbing in the dark at what would look right, this time she made deliberate and confident brushstrokes. She puckered her lips and applied the lipstick making them pouty and perfect.
“Of course Kayleigh wouldn’t be seen dead posting in the same outfit as before but thankfully she went shopping.” Kate said to herself as she eagerly took off her boring clothes that hid her body and slipped into the tight black top that Tanya had convinced her to buy.
“Hello Kayleigh.” Kate said with a purr as she looked at herself in the mirror. The reflection didn’t feel foreign like it had before, it now felt like her. Her pose settled naturally into a seductive yet powerful guise as a satisfied smirk curled up in her lips.
Picking up her phone she lay back down on the bed and snapped a few selfies of herself. Each one made her feel more and more like Kayleigh which allowed her to post with confidence.
Almost instantly her phone started to vibrate. A ‘like’ on her picture. And then another. And another before too long they were flooding in. Her eyes reflected the phone screen as she watched the adoration flood in.
Each ping and vibrate seemed to erode her sense of Kate and in turn bolstered her identity as Kayleigh. Slipping her hand into her pants, she moaned as she felt her new long nails against her slit. It felt so naughty and bad to be pleasing herself to the attention she was getting. It felt like something Kayleigh would do.
She groaned as she played with herself expertly. Each vibrate of her phone felt like a vibration in her pussy, sending a shiver throughout her body. She read the comments with glee as they rolled in.
“Hottie!”
“Unreal!”
“I’d like to see you OUT of that dress!”
Each comment filled her vanity and her desire to post more was growing as much as her ego. What was growing the most though was her sense of superiority.
“Mmmm yesss fucking simp me! Simp for your queen losers.” She moaned as she came closer and closer to cumming. She wasn’t sure what turned her on more, her fingers or her bitchy attitude. Before she could decide though a new notification came in, a DM.
It was from Lucas, the guy she had a date with on Friday. She had totally forgot about him, this could be a true test of her resolve to be Kayleigh. Girls like Tanya always had men like Lucas wrapped around their finger, Kayleigh already had a date with him, but could she control him? The wetness in her panties made her click on the notification.
“Wow if you had worn that top earlier I definitely would have asked you out sooner. You’re such a baddie.” He wrote. This would be too easy. She stripped out of her outfit down to her underwear quickly and snapped a pic she would have never done in a thousand years as Kate, but Kayleigh was in control now.
“Is that so? Well how about a private pic just for you then.” She wrote while attaching the image she just took. Biting her lip she slipped her hand back into her pussy in anticipation.
“Fuuuuck! How did I hit the jackpot getting a date with you? You’re driving me wild over here.” He wrote back and she grinned to herself. She had him in the palm of her hand, it made her feel so powerful.
“Prove it.” She wrote back and for a moment thought she might had scared him off before a moment later his message came in with a picture of his hand wrapped around his erect cock.
Kayleigh moaned as she looked at the picture. Kate had never illicit such a response from even her loser boyfriend but now she was turning on a guy with a simple picture of herself. It was a power she never knew she had in her and one she wanted to use further. Her mouth began to water looking at the picture as she had an instinctual desire to wrap her lips around it.
“Mmmm that’s going to taste soooo good.” She typed out as she continued to pump herself. As great as it felt though she made a mental note to go to the mall tomorrow with Tanya to pick up a vibrator, a queen like her doesn’t use her fingers when a man or a machine is available.
“Oh fuck! Just tell me babe to cum and I’ll do it! Please tell me!” He messaged back in record time and Kayleigh moaned loudly as she pumped herself furiously. She had him by the balls and she had never felt so alive!
“Oh fuck yes! This is what I want! This is who I want to be! Kate was just a caretaker of my body and she did a terrible job! That ends today! I am and always have been Kayleigh! A bitchy queen who does what she wants. I’m a spoilt, vain, gorgeous brat and I’m here to fucking stay!” She moaned loudly as she came hard, solidifying herself as Kayleigh.
She felt like a powerful bitch now as she rose from the bed. She looked at herself in the mirror and saw no hint of Kate anymore. Any nagging doubts inside herself was gone, her thoughts were focused on more important things now like how she looked, the boys she would fuck and her bestie Tanya.
However her phone pinged again and she picked it up to find another message from Lucas. “Please Kayleigh I have blue balls here!” It read and she smiled wickedly to herself.
“I command you to NOT cum! I want you to edge everyday until our date on Friday so I have more to swallow. Understand?” She wrote back confidently and coldy.
“Oh fuck yes! Whatever you say Kayleigh!” He replied back and Kayleigh grinned victorious. She was slightly turned off by how much of a simp he was now for her, she’d have to find a stronger boyfriend in the future but for now he’d do.
She sauntered over to the clothes she had bought that day and picked up the most risqué outfit that earlier, even pretending to be Kayleigh at the time, she thought was a little too far. Now she hungrily slipped it on like it was a second skin. She was a different breed now, an involved version of Kayleigh. A better version.
Snapping a picture of herself in the new dress she sent it to Lucas with instructions.
“Here’s a preview of my outfit for Friday. I want you to edge every day looking at it. I want five days of cum in my mouth by the end of the week. Also I want your frat brother that’s coming with us to look up pictures of my bestie Tanya and do the same. We are Queens and we deserve to be worshipped got it?” She wrote back.
“Absolutely! We won���t let you down, Queen Kaleigh.” He wrote back. She re read his message over and over again, causing a pleasurable shiver to coarse through her body. She loved being a queen bitch.
However as she looked around the room she realized that her home wasn’t fit for a queen. She’d have to do something about that and she knew the simp who could change it for her. The simp who started her down this evil path, but she’d never give him the satisfaction of telling him.

Meeting genshin men at your local grocery store?!
Childe, Itto, Kaeya, Alhaitham, Ayato x Reader
To be honest, the job itself wasn’t too bad. Pretty normal actually. Aside from the few weirdos that have been walking in lately..
Inspired by @abyssruler’s 7/11 Diaries! (One again written in the depths of night, so I apologize for the errors and tbh it’s kinda bad 😰)
Childe:
You could do this! Self belief! Stay awake! Your shift was almost done, 2am on the clock and two more hours to go. Everything was pretty mundane, occasionally mopping the floor, checking the stock, handling the (basically unused) register— all mundane with the lack of people. But today a real odd ball walked in: ginger hair, roughed clothing, tussled hair, and oh- the massive nose bleed dripping down onto his clothes.
He walks through the store so calmly - it’s almost startlingly - he strolls through the isles putting random items, then walks up to the counter. He grins, "Well hello there, I didn’t know such a pretty thing would be working at a time like this." He says, all while blood is still dripping down his nose.
You blink once, you blink twice, you take the basket and start scanning, "It’s too early in the morning for this.." You mumble, tired eyes fumbling with the unreasonably items. The prices of each individual item would send you into cardiac arrest, but all in all? Fucking nuts. How does he even have money? Have you seen the economics state of the world?
Your words only make him laugh, as you look up at him your gaze fuses on his bloody nose, "You’re bleeding."
"I know." He smiles.
"O," You blink slowly once more. "Want a tissues or something?”
He raises a brow, "Ha! You’re pretty funny, you know! Most workers get scared!" He laughs, watching intently as you pack away his items handing them to him.
You look him in the eyes, "I don’t get paid enough."
From that day since he’d often come to the store chatting with you, all while buying odd products. At this point you were starting to think it’s all to speak with you, I mean— Instant rice and pickles? You raised a brow, almost like a mind reader he spoke,
"My friend dropped his phone in the toilet so we’re doing the rice method, and the pickles is for me, nice snack."
Isn’t the rice method supposed to be bad? “Why don’t you just go to a repair shop?"
"Hes quirky like that."
"Just leave."
At some point you started seeing him outside the shop, he also goes to the same university as you. Which did make sense seeing at though he looked your age, but what surprised you the most is that he’s pretty well know. So now you started to wonder how you hadn’t heard about him. Maybe it’s because you have no friends— that’s a problem. You’ll need some of those.. you guess. Now that you think about it, you never got his name. How odd.
Itto:
It was very much valid for you to assume that the man before you was drunk. He was awfully loud (so much so you could hear him from five blocks down), he talked funny, and so did he act the same.
As you tiredly rub your eyes you to try shake yourself awake, there was still so much time until work was over. And with the shouting going on outside it was actually quite easy, most would be worried of a murder being what’s taking place outside but it was awfully normal for such screams, also the sound of drunk laughter easily disproves the thought of murder. A man -easily 7ft tall, White hair, super buff, his hair oddly whisked - trudges in, panic written all over his face. "WHERE IS YOUR RICE?" He asked anxiously.
"Excuse me?"
"I NEED RICE FOR MY PHONE." He jumped around in place, you point him towards the section and he runs off, few of his friends snicker while some look worried.
You wait around at the counter, it takes him a few minutes to gather what he needs, next time he comeback he has at least four small bags of rice and bandages. As you ring him up you hear the man speak with his friends,
"Do you think it’ll work?" One of his friends ask.
"I think so! I got the premium rice, and I think the bandages will work too!" He smiles.
"For.. your phone?"
"Yeah, why?"
"Nothing.." his friends mumble, stifling a laugh.
You simply shake your head at such idiocy, but then again you can understand, repair shops are unbelievably expensive and half the time it gets even more broken. But your action seems to have caught the man’s attention, gawking he turns to his friends, “THEYRE SO HOT.”
From that day forward he constantly visited the shop, goofing around in the store in attempts to get your number.
"So, you like jazz?" He has this odd smirk on his face, almost as if that was his attempt to finesse you.
"Yes."
"Ah. You were supposed to say no."
"Sorry?"
Soon, Itto (his name, he had written it on a piece of paper and whilst paying for his newest purchase slipped it in) started being able to spot you on campus, following you around like a lost puppy. Perhaps you’ll slip in your number next time you give him change.. perhaps.
Kaeya:
To Kaeya you were hot, really fucking hot. Though you were kinda invisible that added to your charm, that or he just had a thing for total losers, he couldn’t tell. And for the most part you weren’t entire invisible, often seeing your name on the first board after grades come out, or even seeing you enrolled in competitions, or he’d see you studying in the library - looking so adorable- writing away at your notes. He thought you were utterly ethereal, and the need to get to know you was insatiable. His friends quite literally needing to hold him down from running up to you and scaring you away. So come to find out lovely ol’ you works at one of his favourite convince place he already had a plan brewing.
You drearily watch the clock, your body feeling as if it's numb. Your hands lazily drawing circles on the counter, starting to regret the fact you decided to work the graveyard shift. The ringing of the store bell waking you from your hazziness, a man dressed nicely came in: blue hair, blue eyes (odd combo, to be completely honest), dressed in what looked like ballroom clothing, his expression of.. smugness? Unyielding.
As you wait to ring him up you take out your phone and start scrolling through it, but soon you here light steps approaching placing your phone back in your pocket and take the items and start scanning. All as you do so the man watches you intently, and little too much.
”Can I help you with something, Sir?"
He raises a brow, "Sir? You don't think I'm that old, do you?!" He cried.
"No, Sir. I'm required to do this."
"So you think I look nice?"
"Sure."
"Would you go out with me?" Was that really his attempt at rizzing you up?
"Please just take your items and leave, Sir." (I'm saving you the embarrassment -and myjob-)
He couldn't stand it, no, he was determined-- he will rizz you up. You have to give him a chance! And so whenever you had a free moment you would see him walk up to you, it’s not that you minded his unbreaking tenacity, it was quite admirable actually.
"Hey!" He ran up to you, waving his hand. He stops in front of you weaving, "Trying to run away from me?"
"No. I’m hungry."
"Ah! The allow me to do the pleasure and buy you lunch."
"If you have money, sure.”
You were oh so happy, free food truly did taste the best. So while he got to know you you got full - and happy - tummy. Maybe you’ll actually let him take you out.
Al Haitham:
See, typically you were fine with customers, but this time you were utterly enthralled by this.. this asshole with a stick up his ass. You’d love to hop over the counter and give him a wack, but you refrain from doing so— he looked rich, and he was buff, you most definitely could not take him in a fight.
"It’s 14.55."
"I’m aware."
"I am in a rush, please let me pay already."
"Im sorry, Sir. I’m required to ring this all up."
"But I already told you, it’s 14.55." His eyes looked a bit agitated, his arms crossed.
"Sir, I am just doing my job."
"K."
To be honest, you didn’t really know what was coming out of his mouth after that, nor did you care, you simply nod, most of the “conversation” you looked at his.. uh, breast(s) pocket. You’d never see him again, what’s the harm?
You were wrong, so undeniably, unbelievably, wrong. Exactly 5 hours later you’d see him at the gym, staring at you, approaching you- wait, approaching you?? You look around the room, what do you do? How do you seem like you’re busy? Pull out you pho-?!
"Hey."
"Hello..? Do you need something?"
"Do you need help?"
"No."
"I’m helping you anyway."
"O."
And workout buddies you came to be, often meeting him during your workout sessions. You never really needed his help, but with his insistence you agreed. Sometimes even studying together.
"Are you stupid?"
"I think so, I’ve been talking with my doctor lately and-"
"I didn’t mean it literally."
"Ah."
With exams coming up you’ve been seeing each other a lot more, and the study areas have been a lot more.. romantic? Close, cool mood lighting, cold- sometimes even his own house. But then again, maybe it’s just you.
Ayato:
This was absolutely fucking nuts. This guy was decked out— SO BAD. The Ayato Kamisato, one of the richest bachelors was before you, you couldn’t help but be a bad bit taken back. But regardless you tried your best to scan all his odd items.
For a hot bachelor his grocery items were really weird, and so fucking expensive you felt your heart clench.. you’ll need a break after this, maybe even a smoke (you’ve never smoked in your life and if you were to you were pretty sure you’d have an asthma attack).
His gaze wondered you curiously, has you handed him his groceries he smiled, leaving a.. 100$ TIP?? WHAT THE FUCK. WHERE DOES HE GET THIS MONEY? I THOUGHT WE WERE IN A RESCISSION. WHAT. Your eyes were massive, looking back up at him, "Uhm, Sir. I think you misplaced this bill.." as much as you wanted to keep it, you had morals (sadly), holding yourself to high principle.
"Oh, that was no mistake. I appreciate the fact someone like you is working at such an hour. Have a lovely morning." He waved and left.. someone like me? Is that an insult? Does he think I’m poor?
As you pondered what he meant you started seeing him more, and more. Always leaving a massive tip, does god.. love me? Your reactions always brining a smile to his face, and conversations with you always left him with a swelling in his chest, you were awfully funny.
"Here, a tip."
"Am I.. in more debt?" You tilt your head, "Do you want something from me?" Your eyes widen, "Is this perhaps your way of buying me? Is that what rich people do..? That’s what’s I heard.." mumbling the last part you look into the floor, bringing your hand up to fumble with your lip- in deep concentration.
He was so weird, people said he was cool. From what you can tell all he is a weirdo. Who tips this much? Who buys this much weird stuff? Isn’t he rich? Why doesn't he just get someone to get him groceries? Why does he look at you weird? Honestly, if he kept giving you this much money you might as well become his sugar baby (not that you would mind).

The Missing Wolf Tee
═════════════════════════
Pairing: Simon “Ghost” Riley x Reader
═════════════════════════
It was a calmly morning. She woke up feeling extremely unwell. Her night had been terrible. One way she coped on these bad days was to seek comfort in small things. So, she took out a large navy blue shirt with a wolf print from her wardrobe. She sniffed the shirt for a moment, still sensing his scent on the fabric.
Once she got all set, she thought about going out for a bit to get some fresh air, smoke a cigarette, and take a walk to sort out her thoughts. After the walk, she went back inside the lodge. The place was empty, most of the soldiers were out. Still wearing her coat, she collapsed onto the couch and fell asleep.
Nearly half an hour later, she woke up to the sound of the door slamming. She quickly composed herself when she caught a glimpse of Simon's figure from the corner of her eye, and then she relaxed. He sat down next to her on the couch, completely silent. Automatically, she decided to take off her coat. But as she did, she remembered she was wearing one of his shirts, his favorite shirt, that she had stolen during one of their hookups. She put the coat back on, but it was too late; Simon had already seen his shirt. She swallowed hard and stayed quiet.
Simon raises an eyebrow, his eyes observing her, checking her out before saying: "Is that one of my shirts?" He asks casually, his voice raspy and deep.
"Nope... It's mine. I guess it just looks kinda the same." She lied, trying to get out of that situation, but she knew him. She knew he was smart and wouldn't buy her lie.
"Are you sure it's not mine?" He asks again, his penetrating gaze still fixed on her. She can see his eyes squinting, a result of a smile, so subtle that only she can notice. He knows she's not being honest, but he's letting her get away with it for now.
"Why would I be wearing one of your clothes?" She tries to play dumb.
Normally, she wouldn't mind if it were one of her affairs, but Simon was more than just that, even though their situation was a bit odd. And the fact that she liked wearing his clothes, because the smell and the memory of him brought comfort, brought forth feelings that neither of them dared to discuss.
"You tell me," he calmly replies, his eyes fixed on her. He doesn't show any emotion. He watches her reaction closely for a moment before speaking again, "I don't mind that you borrowed it."
"I didn't borrow it," she says defensively.
"So, you stole it." Simon's voice is dry, seems emotionless, but she can feel a hint of mockery in his tone.
She let out an exasperated sigh. She seemed offended, even though she was guilty. "I didn't steal anything." Her voice comes out more shrill than she intended.
"So, how did you get your hands on it? 'Cause I don't remember giving you any of my shirts." Simon leans back on the couch, trying to hide the small smile growing on his face, which, despite wearing his balaclava, was visible in his eyes. "Did you simply find it lying around?" He continues, teasing her.
She rolls her eyes, grumbling. "It just showed up in my stuff, not my fault."
She had totally planned to swipe his shirt the moment she laid her eyes on it.
"You're not a great liar, you know." Simon's voice sounds amused, but there's a hint of affection in his tone. He watches her for a moment, and then he adds: "You know, you could've just asked me if you wanted it."
"Can I keep it?" She asks softly, like a kid begging for a toy she saw in the store.
Simon looks at her for a long moment, before letting out a sigh and nodding, turning his face to the side. "Yeah, sure." His tone is softer now. He is not used to sharing with others or giving anything away to anyone. But for her, he makes a small exception.
She smiles secretly, bumping her knees against his. Like a 'thanks.'
As usual, Simon remains stoic and doesn't react to her touch, even though the gesture makes him feel a little warmer inside. He doesn't say anything, but she can see the faint smile that reaches his eyes remains even after she pulls her knees back.
