#like it does sound corny as shit and I'm not holding the show up as some paragon of rights but y'all gotta learn to read and have

[cidnangarlond]

a post I remember every so often is one where someone said they were raised in a homophobic and deeply devoutly religious family and as such were for a time homophobic but broke out of that because of a voltron ship showing them that lgbt people love just like anyone else and people made fun of this person heavily and it's like. it sounds corny I know but my god we have to be more accepting of people like that, who are unlearning what they were brought up in and trying to put the slightest bit of effort into it. we aren't all born into knowing love is love and gay people are human too and all that and if we cannot help people change who very much want to change, who want to unlearn all the homophobic and transphobic rhetoric they were brought up in, if we cannot take the time to do that, then we are very quickly going to run out of allies and making fun of someone because "klance cured homophobia" (not getting into voltron shit here I do not care) is absolutely not going to help them at all and could in fact have made things so significantly worse. but if someone's like hey I'm willing to change and I grew up in all this and I don't want any part of it anymore where do I begin how do I go from here then we have a kind of responsibility to help them or at least point them in the right direction. but no yeah people have to clown because klance cured someone's homophobia and not look any further past that at the person being genuine

Pop music: "I cant say no to those eyes" + Tangerine ❤❤❤

SKY'S 3K CELEBRATION

i hope you enjoy this, anon ✨💕

~ 🎶 ~

When you'd convinced Tangerine and Lemon to walk into the crazily decorated Halloween store Lemon had seemed rather pleased.

Tangerine, on the other hand, looked pissed.

"I hate these things," he mutters, touching the dull end of the bloodied prop knife as the animatronic struggles through its lines. "So corny."

You're practically skipping through the rows and rows of costumes, tongue stuck between your teeth as you concentrate. You can't even hear Tangerine's complaining or Lemon swatting his hand over his brother's head.

"Shut yer mouth, can't ya see she's enjoying herself?" Lemon hisses, motioning his head towards you.

Tangerine's gaze softens and he shoves Lemon away. He walks over and sees you rummaging through the costumes. You hand him a nurse one absentmindedly.

"Gonna patch me up real good, darlin'?" he teases, seeing how skimpy the costume looks. You don't answer him as you hand him another. A fairy costume this time and Tangerine's eyes widen at how much skin the model is showing.

"Bloody hell, luv. Ya want the whole neighborhood staring?"

"Tan," you warn him and he holds the costumes without complaint, muttering an apology. It really isn't his place to judge your choice of clothing.

Tangerine walks behind you like a lost puppy as you hand him various costumes you're debating choosing and Lemon snickers—which earns him a death glare from his brother.

"Oh!" You suddenly exclaim, grabbing a princess costume. It's just the right amount of cute and slutty. You turn, showing Tangerine. "Isn't it cute?!"

Tangerine nods, imagining you in that dress and he swallows. He drops the other costumes on the shelf and takes the princess one, looking it over. You grin, turning as you can the area.

"Aha!"

Tangerine watches you grab another costume and then you show it to him, grinning wider. It's a bodyguard costume. A plain black suit, an ear com, and some shades.

"What's that for?"

"For you! I'm the princess, and you're my bodyguard!" You sound giddy and Tangerine raises his eyebrows. He certainly doesn't mind having the task of watching over you when you're at a party. He does that anyways.

He looks at the stupid costume and scrunches his nose in disgust. "Can I wear my own suit?" he asks seriously.

Your eyes light up. "You're gonna dress up?!"

"Ya, in my suit," he teases.

"And the accessories?" You point to the ear com and the sunglasses.

"Maybe." He crosses his arms, sending you a smirk.

You bat your eyelashes at him.

Tangerine's resolve crumbles embarrassingly quickly. "Shit," he whispers, "you know I can't say no to those eyes." He reaches up and his finger tips skim your cheek gently. "I'll dress up as your bodyguard, sweetheart, hm? Keep ya safe? Is that what you want?"

He's teasing but you nod and lean into his touch. You're smiling so wide he's concerned for your poor cheeks but his chest fills with warmth. He laughs when you grab the costumes and rush over to show Lemon.

Tangerine can almost hear Lemon's future taunts when he finds out how quickly he folded for you but he doesn't care.

Fuck, he's really in deep now.

Touch!Obsessed!Male!Reader

Bill Kaulitz

Bill fucking loves this shit

You may not know why you do it but Bill is so happy you do

He's shuffling and nuzzling even closer to you

Oh my god he's so happy

He feels so safe and everything

He doesn't care why you do it

He just knows you do

And you find comfort in it so I think he loves that as well

The first time you did he was probably confused but baby boy just rolled with it the whole time

He was pleasantly surprised

Even if you did it when you guys were just friends

He craves this shit all the time

He wants to be in your skin and much as you wanna be in his

Tom Kaulitz

Tom is so smug when you do this stuff

"You wanna be by me so bad, huh?"

He's teasing the whole time with saying stuff like that

He may act like he doesn't want or like it at times but the second you pull away he wants it back

When you go to long without touching him he gets confused

He actually thinks you're mad at him or something

Please, please, please come up and surprise him with it

Especially on the bad days because this stuff can calm him down so quickly

Boy will snatch you up the second you do it and he will keep craving it

He gets so used to it that it's now apart of his daily routine

He calls it his daily hug time

Sometimes he'll just go up to you and hold open his arms as an invite

Take it

Gustav Schäfer

Gustav was so surprised the first few times

He didn't get why you were so obsessed with touch for a while

He then just came to the conclusion you just wanted to be with him

And babe he loves that so much

He feels so happy when you come up and just wanna hug him

He's the type to never let you and hug keep running his hand over you the same amount as you do to him

Sometimes he'll just be laying in bed and you'll come in and lay on him

So much so you'll wanna be inside his skin

He openly invited it

Sometimes he'll just be having a bad day and the second a hug comes out he forgets about his day

Especially if you do this when you know he's having a hard time, frustrated or when he's feeling nervous or disappointed

The hugs lift his spirit in ways he cannot describe

He's just so in love it's corny

Georg Listing

This man was actually one to be like

"Why?"

I don't feel he's very, very open with touch especially if you do it in public

He likes the touch he just doesn't get why you are obsessed with it

But soon enough he just becomes as equally obsessed

He doesn't know how he could be so obsessed with touching you until you showed him how comfortable you are touching him

Your so bold and so open with your love and touch he couldn't help but reciprocate it

Especially the hugs

Hell want a hug like that from you around the homophobes just to run it in their faces

Also at times he is very tired and wants affection

He is craving that hug

He is dreaming about that touch all day until he gets it from you

Makes him feel oddly safe and loved?

He also is one that can't describe it but once he feels it it's over and he loves it

He is drunk on it I swear

[glassvines]

Now that it's been a little over a week since the finale was released, I'm going to give some of my final thoughts on Murder Drones.

While I'm going to miss this series a lot, I really do think it's for the best that it ended here on a high note, as all the mysteries being setup throughout the series concluded in ep 7/Mass Destruction.

Absolute End was twenty minutes worth of satisfying wrap-ups.

Thoughts/comments in order:

⋅ Nori and Uzi briefly interacting at the beginning of the episode was great. LOVE that there was a little semi-realism here: no sound can be heard in space. Nori and Uzi having to find ways to communicate was clever.

⋅ N finally getting to pilot a spaceship :').

⋅ The VERY CUTE convo between N and Uzi that they are, in fact, dating was perfection. While they're falling through the atmosphere. While on fire. This was so good you guys. They are such a great main couple. Have loved their slow burn throughout the show <3.

⋅ V IS BACK. Was already 100% positive Lizzy's "secret friend" was V, so this was not a surprise.

⋅ Now, while I was hoping for J to see the light in the final episode, I was happy with what we got instead. Confirmation that she knows what has happened to Tessa, and that she has ultimately taken the cowards way out. She won't fight the inevitable.

Love the brief hint that she has TRIED to make things right with V in the past; warn her about Cyn's plans.

"If I promised you anything, it tricked me too."

:(

Also props to Shara Kirby here. J didn't play a huge role in the series, but the few lines she did get in the finale were great.

⋅ Legit my favorite part of the episode is that corny bit N and Uzi do while they're still falling towards Copper 9. Uzi blasting Cyn with the solver (null-solver? blackhole-solver?), THE WINK, Uzi and N: The Drone Killers, and the final sunglasses pose.

ABSOLUTE DORKS ILTHEM SO MUCH.

⋅ I also love that they are IMMEDIATLEY completely fucked up beyond belief by Cyn moments after this. That was devastating holy shit.

⋅ CYN IS SO SCARY IN THIS EP. Cannot believe how good the "call back ping" scene is.

⋅ N has never had problems with panic attacks throughout the series, so I can only assume this is due to him having access to his own memories now? Cyn could keep his personality intact by, as Uzi put it in ep2 "turning his memories to soup".

Which gives me the impression that he could potentially go comatose without Uzi there to hold his hand.

JFC.

⋅ V's heartfelt confession that everything she did was to keep N safe was a fantastic scene too. I went into this episode assuming 99% of the cast would survive, but I was definitely panicking here.

Me: "Do something N. DO SOMETHING."

N: *does something and is immediately ko'd*

Me: "NO, NOT LIKE THAT!!!"

⋅ Khan was redeemed early on the series for me, given how much effort he immediately put into trying to be a bigger part of Uzi's life after the pilot episode.

That being said, it was nice that he managed to come through in a clutch and save N :).

⋅ "Weirdly hot robots" Uzi lmao. Further confirmation that this entire show really is YA/Twilight spoof.

⋅ "I think dumb things are figgin' cool and I. AM. FREE." Yeah no, I can understand why this is a very niche show. The humor is very. Um. Look, I love her so much, this was so funny to me. The final message of the series is literally "be your dopey, cringe self - get the guy" hahaha. Teenage-me would have made this series my entire personality. Or, I would have at the very least appreciated the message.

⋅ BOSS BATTLE!! It's insane how good this scene looks. This was an absolute joy to look at. Adored the addition of Nori's ipod nightcore mix as the main battle song.

⋅ Allanah Fitzgerald is a riot actually.

⋅ I was not fooled by the N fake-out death lol. Good setup to further prove the trio are absolutely in sync now though. Probably my favorite part of the fight scene.

⋅ The fight against Cyn ending in a very grounded way was...interesting? Literally just Uzi making an appropriate strategic decision in a split second.

⋅ Tessa's ribcage oh my God.

⋅ Nori still being infatuated with Khan is so funny.

⋅ Uzi not coming out of this scot-free makes sense. The setup for that reveal was great.

V: "Oh, she's still a cringelord it's her UGH".

⋅ N twirling her around and squeezing her and crying into her shoulder omfg why are they so cuuteee.

⋅ Uzi coming full circle from the pilot scene presentation, complete with an updated "protag/heroes journey" slide:

"Forget about all of this insanity. Get tunnel visioned on spooky corpse robot reveal. Work backwards from there."

LMAO

⋅ Khan excitedly cheering about the fact that Uzi essentially decided she should have never gone outside. Blink and you won't notice that Nori is with him, but she iiisss.

⋅ Final classroom scene and end credits were fun:

- "THAT'S MY GIRLFRIEND!" - N is learning to draw manga (from one of those awful Western "how to draw manga" books from the early 2000s) - V is very affectionate/proud about this - V and Lizzy are very close now - Doll's body is for some reason there too (??) - V is definitely drinking from a dead worker drone in this scene lmao - The group shots of Lizzy, V, Thad, Uzi and N together were cute - J is STILL ALIVE. Why is she obsessed with leaving via the ship...? - Gin Rummy game finally happened. Also Nori again. - "Pog in chat!!" Why. - Doll's funeral (or well - memorial presentation by Lizzy) at the prom. I love how pissed N and Uzi look lmao. - V playing chess against the sentinel

⋅ AAANND we get the final confirmation that Uzi is in fact, permanently stuck with Cyn/the Solver, as it can speak to her. I'm not buying the "everything's a hologram and everyone's actually dead" theory because the show is simply not that cynical. But I do love that this certainly leaves the audience with questions at the final moment.

Again, I'm gonna miss this show and these characters. Would love to see them explored more in the future *emoji eyes at Glitch*.

Cannot wait to see what Glitch has in store, in terms of new shows. I'm shocked at how high quality indie animation has gotten in the last half decade, and I'd like to see more of it.

Phantom of the Opera -- 1990

Okay, I haven't seen this in years and hated it. Decided to watch it again tonight. Ehhhhhh, still don't like it.

PROS

Charles Dance -- the man can do no wrong. Except maybe that weird accent. I love him as sarcastic Erik. I kind of like his banter with Burt Lancaster except the backstory doesn't hold up. I love his voice in general and he could sing me to sleep anytime. I loved he played pranks on Carlotta.

I actually like that he doesn't really manipulate Christine and becomes her friend and mentor. He respects her and vice versa. Yeah, he lied about who he is, but I'm not going to give him shit. Granted, he does lose his shit after the 'unmasking', but that's a given.

I liked they filmed it at the Opera House. All adaptations should do it. The opera/location is a big part of this story.

Pro/Con -- that they didn't show his face. I think the creators realized it can be either done really well or come off as corny. Do they want to make Erik scary as hell or worse, the sunburn that Gerard Butler had that was laughable as a disfigurement. Plus, I think they wanted to keep the romantic aspect there and showing his face would ruin it?

CONS

Ehhhh, here we go.

Just nope on Christine looking AND sounding like Erik's mom. No. Too incesty. Did we really need to go there? He couldn't just love Christine for who she is?

The lip syncing. Dear Jesus. Yikes.

No Angel of Music. Sigh. It's manipulative as hell but it's Eriks first connection with Christine.

Gerard -- I don't even know where to start with this man. The literal incarnate of "road to hell is paved with good intentions". I can see where they use him as "the Persian" to talk sense into Erik but it's just too obvious the man is hiding something and the police inspector knows it.

The police inspector. As if he wouldn't have disregarded Gerard and just gone down. And you can't tell me Gerard was able to bury his son so no one would find him after the rooftop. You failed your son in so many ways.

Raoul/Phillippe whatever his character's name is. Other than being pretty, he can't act to save his life. And his constantly changing accent. The backstory doesn't hold as well. He's been living this badboy slut life and sudden she changes him when he remembers their childhood of a few months at most? I don't buy it.

I actually liked some parts of Carlotta except the bad lip syncing. . She was nasty mean and I hated her.

Christine -- girl. Phillippe is bad news. You had your teacher who adored you. You done fucked up sweetie. Granted, she tried to be friend to Erik. I'll give her that. But knowing he loves you and playing up that only love can save him, see his face. Girl, don't be lying to lovesick man like that.

The weird removing the mask to see another mask underneath.

It's kind of a pro/con. I really don't like the Kopit musical at all. So, I'm glad they didn't film this as the musical. But the plot is still too thin.

SIGH

Why can't we get a solid Leroux adaptation?? It's not much to ask for is it?

[rancorousmendez]

A little excerpt from our Curse of Strahd notes from last session LOL this will mark our 3rd encounter with Strahd - which I seem to be the only one getting BULLIED EACH TIME

--------

-We see a shadow cast in the cloudy fog; Nocturna needs to make a dexterity saving throw (I literally scream WTF).

-(I rolled an 11 and then used an inspiration coin cause "Ain't no bitch gonna catch me LOL)

-The shadow flickers over us; Nocturna clearly feels that something just tried to grab her.

-(I try asking for my inspiration coin back so I can fail the save cause I'm a simp LOL)

-(Grace and I literally just start doing french accents for the next two minutes while hendrix and roy hash out game details LOL)

-Sterling tries to grab onto Nocturna to mark her with her claw so that they can track her incase she gets taken.

-(I try really hard to thing of something witty to say; Grace tells me that i should yell "Mad I fucked your bitch?!" LOL)

-I say some corny shit like "You're so eager after our last encounter? Did I make such an impression?"

-Phoebe falls forward and plants her hand over Nocturna's mouth and casts Protection from good and evil on her.

-It's literally a Nocturna sandwich right now cause Sterling is holding her in wolf form and Phoebe is on her knees clutching Nocturna's waist LOL

-Nocturna feels something grab onto her arm, the touch is unholy and searing; it sizzles on Nocturna's skin - it's necrotic damage.

-The DM literally asks me how much HP I have which is not a good sign LOL

-By now we can tell the figure is up above the door that we just exited from. It lifts Nocturna up and pulls her in. She's facing away from it, and can only feel the cold touch on her arm.

-It's voice comes up from behind her into her ear. The voice says, "Yes, I am very eager. Tread carefully, for I am always watching."

-There's a wet sensation on Nocturna's neck; there's a sharp pain and then Strahd clamps down on her neck.

-Nocturna can feel the life drain out of her; feeling cold, so cold.

-(by this point I'm laughing hysterically/nervously LOL)

-I ask the DM what position Strahd has Nocturna in; when he shows the group we all GASP and start blushing LOL

-The others try desperately to get Nocturna down but they can't see her in the fog.

-Sterling suggests picking up Phoebe for uppies LOL

-The two are trying really fucking hard to save Nocturna and it's actually really sweet LOL

-Sterling does manage to pop off a few cross bow bolts that hit him.

-He hisses and stops biting Nocturna.

-The girlz continue their rescue mission but keep failing spectacularly

-Nocturna casts fucking moonbeam which I explain as Juno's ultimate from Overwatch LOL

-It hits him, but the grip on Nocturna's arm becomes tighter.

-The crossbolts only annoyed him, but the moonbeam actually managed to do some damage to him.

-Grace plays the shell game with the DM to see if her divine smite hits Strahd and fails both times LOL

-She yells to try and get his attention - NAT 20!

-Sterling is SWEATING

-She goads Strahd that he's a bitch for taking advantage of defenseless women.

-Nocturna cocks her head a little, what do you mean defenseless LOL

--From the wound on Nocturna's neck, she can feel the blood trickling; she can feel Strahd licking her neck, lapping up the blood. (HOT)

-Then this mother fucker drops HER (fucking RUDE - but also, it literally took colliding with the floor to knock Nocturna out LOL)

-There's some flapping sounds before he hisses in response to Phoebe's taunt, "you are all defenseless against me".

-OOF

[everafterkeiji]

Summary: The so-called chemistry between you two is superbly deadly, so why not take it to the next level?

Pairings: Testurou Kuroo x fem!reader

Word count: 5.3k

Tags, Genre: fake lovers! trope, slight angst

A/N: 🤺 stay back🤺feelings🤺

Maybe you should've disagreed on the 10th time or maybe the 8th or 11th?

Honestly, there was no stopping the couple of the year.

"She didn't really say yes at first but with a little push of love she finally did." Kuroo comments, a drink in hand as you smiled against his side, with his arm around you.

"Please, I didn't need a push. I was too in love with the dumbass to say no." Your relatives practically awe at your comment while Kuroo kisses the top of your head, as you smile to sell the deal.

"What are you guys planning on after you graduate? I hope you two continue to stay like this." One of your relatives says as you both recall the plan.

"Moving in doesn't sound so bad, right babe?" He asks you while you sip your drink, feeling his hand slide down to your waist while they cheer at his dialogue.

"I wish young love looked like this when I had it!"

"Y/N is so lucky!"

"Tetsu is the best man for Y/N!"

Sighing with pain to your gums, you spoke.

"Excuse me, I'm just going to refill my drink. Coming babe?"

"Of course, bub." He says before excusing himself as well, while he walks away, his hand loses contact with your waist knowing there wasn't a sight of anyone else in the kitchen apart from you and him.

And cut.

"I thought our fourth line was that we would take things slow—what you said was literally our fifth line, Tetsu. It's too early." You say as you actually refilled your cup as Kuroo sighs but he smiles, leaning on the wall looking at you.

"Well might as well go all out, I'm not an actor for nothing, babe." You sigh as you drank as Kuroo pats your hair, after a sip, you let out a chuckle.

"Actually, their reactions were everything." You say as Kuroo smiles before setting down the cup on the table.

"Did you see your grandmother? She's going to beg you to wear her wedding dress now." He jokes while you shake your head, denying the offer.

You introduced your relatives to him last year, he was thankful that you trusted him this well to get this far in your family. You hated how they fell into this little trap of yours but it was still entertaining to see them act like this, even if guilt trailed alongside it.

"Seriously, do we go over line 5 now?" You asked with a slight smirk as Kuroo intertwined his hands with yours, with the other ready to open the door.

"We'll see how our audience reacts first, babe."

-

"You did not— you guys are taking this too far. How are you feeling?" Yaku asks through the phone as you bit down on your finger as you tried to come up with another excuse to why you keep allowing yourself in this position.

"I'm fine Yaku seriously! Me and Kuroo are staying at this hotel because of the whole family event earlier." You ran a hand through your hair, feeling the stress set in that you were actually sleeping in the same room as him.

This faux relationship has never led to this point. Kuroo has asked you for permission in case he were to kiss your cheek, hand, or forehead and you allowed yourself every time because this is what you got yourself into in the first place.

You agreed because it didn't bring your heart leaps of excitement—not even a sight of a butterfly in your system.

No matter how many times he's held your hand or planted a kiss on your temple, it didn't feel like Cupids touch— the arrows of love purposely hitting you in the wrong places. You initially thought that it was actually risky, to find yourself falling sooner than expected but a year into this 'relationship' you actually enjoyed the experience without having your heart miss a beat because of it all.

Your bond with Kuroo can only be described by the words bickering and platonic. Because of the way you interact with each other and how you constantly visit each others places, everyone could see where this friendship could end up so you took this advantage just for people to avoid the both of you which turns out to be the opposite, now everyone wanted to dig themselves in the news that you actually got together.

"Y/N- Kuroo please explain your work here on the table." You had your experiment carefully in your hands as Kuroo guides you to the table as you went on with your explanation. The teacher was well impressed with the two of you with how prepared you are, you can thank Kuroo for that and your ability to act like you've got your shit together.

"This is why we-" You two said it in sync making the two of you stare at each other as Kuroo chuckles continuing the explanation while you were left to stay silent with the glares from the girls who admired him—and the boys who liked you sent their threats to Kuroo just by glancing at him.

"Thank you, good job you two. I see that chemistry suits the both of you." Your teacher comments and as you walked away you rolled your eyes, disgusted at the corny joke.

"It's working too well actually."

Someone shut him up. You think as you felt the urge to give him a punch to shoulder. Kuroo was dragging more attention to the two of you and you hated it. You knew they were all jokes from your classmates but Kuroo kept feeding and responding to these claims, now you were the center of curiosity.

"Tetsu, I will shove a foot down your throat." You threatened when you were back to your chairs he shrugged making you more irritated.

"It shut them up didn't they? Let's fake it instead." He suggests, now making you slap his arm but his smirk remained on his lips.

"Dumbass, we'd be surrounded with questions and attention- I hate this idea already."

"What about the free couple food and drinks at the mall? You don't wanna experience that?"

"You are not using that card on me, Tetsurou." You said pouting as your chemistry teacher sends a suspicious eye to the both of you, also signalling for you two to stay quiet.

"I know you and you know me well enough that this isn't gonna lead into an actual relationship plus my dad has been bugging me about a girlfriend for weeks." You sigh as Kuroo extends his hand to you, to finalize this outrageous deal.

Looking at where you are now, you wouldn't have it any other way even if it was odd to fake date your best friend. You wouldn't agree if you didn't trust Kuroo to an extent. He would never do anything that makes you uncomfortable, he dragged you into this so he was always careful with his actions. It was always your feelings before his even if his jokes didn't show it.

Kuroo enters the room with a yawn just as you ended the call with Yaku. You patted the space next to you as he plops down on the bed, his head on your lap as you ran your hair through his dark locks.

"Is my boyfriend exhausted from the attention?" You asked him with a giggle as he closes his eyes, in a trance at your fingers doing him magic as you continued.

"Isn't that the girlfriends job to comfort me?" He says, making you smile. There really wasn't any meaning to his words, you were glad that the two of you were sure that everything is a joke. If not, then maybe you two are absolutely fucked.

"Is it okay for you to sleep here? I can always drive us home if you want." You shake your head no as you leaned your back in the soft pillow, relaxing a bit.

" 'S fine, Tetsu. Looks like we're gonna have to sleep here for a while huh?" He sighs before sitting up and leaning on a pillow as well before planting his head on your shoulder, his hand comfortably resting on your knee. It was a habit he had whenever he comforted you in your sorrow but it grew when he does it under the table when you sat next to each other.

Kuroo denies that he's doing this because he just wants to feel close to you. He may be in a sea of people but if he holds onto you, he forgets them in a second. There's always a possibility for him to feel lonely in a crowd but this feeling washes away when he has a chance to feel you around him.

"Tell me if somethings wrong yeah?" He says softly as you nod and he leans to your body more, feeling drowsy at the warmth you gave.

"I do find you annoying, that's a problem right there." You joke as he rolls his eyes and pulling away from you and transferring to the right side of the bed.

"Good night then." He says stubbornly, covering his ears with the pillow while you laugh before going to the right side and drowning in the blankets.

"Night, Kuroo." You bid him as you turn off the lights.

-

The next morning you really wished you didn't give in to him.

Tangled in each others arms, the blankets scattered everywhere as Kuroo was snuggled into your neck when you woke up. It's difficult to move without worrying about him waking up, so you had to move little by little. First, you slowly remove his arm that was on your waist. Second, you tried to rest his head on the pillow instead of you. Third, you scurry away from him successfully.

All of these were disregarded when he pulls you back into his arms, mumbling something while you mentally groan. Kuroos fingers continued to gaze itself on your skin while you sighed, accepting it as it is.

"Tetsu-"

"Five minutes." He whispers not minding the state he's in. He moves away from you when he realizes the sleepiness in him has faded. He stretches, making you stand up and fix your appreance. He sits up after a few seconds and you turn to look at him and his bed hair which never fails to make you laugh.

"I don't allow bullying this early." He says as he throws on a proper shirt. You decided to fix the bed while he brushes his teeth.

"Tonight's the party right?" You asked him as he nods before spitting out the residue of the toothpaste. You went through your bag plotting out the outfits you could wear later. The event was a wedding week of your relatives and it was also an opportunity to set out your weekly episode of a relationship.

It's currently Saturday and the wedding is tomorrow. Tonight was basically a party for both sides of the family. One for the bride and one for the groom. You gave Kuroo a fair warning about their traits when they were drunk but you guys are third years—you've seen how people acted when they were intoxicated.

"Should we just drop line 6?" He jokes, making you throw a pillow directly to his face.

Let's do a role call on these lines.

Line 1 was the backstory of your lovestory. Silly as it may come to others, all these excellent lies were planned beforehand. Each and every one of them. To the date where you confessed, to the exact details on each memory, to the date you officially started dating and of course it included the story that Kuroo has told one too many times already, like a script he remembers with no trace of mistake.

Line 2 were the filler memories. Random come ups of dates and embarrassing stories to grab their attentions in each gathering. Though, this line is the most truthful then the rest. Some of these stories are actually true to life but those that are too romantically disgusting? You can thank your imaginations for that.

Line 3 is the talk of seriousness. Love has actually blossomed by then. It consisted of stories of who said "I love you" first and who actually fell first in the relationship. Mentions of what moment made them realize how in love you were and precious memories that could make everyone long for a companion like yours.

Line 4 is fake maturity at its finest. Why not look like the perfect couple there is to exist? This was sort of a pit stop in your 'relationship'. This is where Kuroo narrows down the pace of you two by throwing some lines like "We're too young to decide for something that big." And "We never know what happens in the future."

Line 5 is moving in with each other. God, you even looked for proper apartments just so you don't mess up a question. You were graduating after all so it was inescapable to talk about your upcoming plans together.

Line 6 shouldn't be used. That's talks of marriage and god— adulting. You two inserted this line as a mere joke knowing once you've gone through college, all these lines would simply disappear because they could never ask about you two anymore. If parents loved something about couples, it's the talk of marriage. Luckily, you and Kuroo hate the topic and simply agreed that this should be avoided at all costs.

"Never." You say as he hands you the pillow you threw before setting it back on the bed. You share a look to each other while you head out of your room to meet with his family.

Hours later, you got distracted in the sensation of his hands intertwined with yours.

Kuroo has subconsciously done it again. Underneath the table, swiping his thumb on the palm of your hand while his expression doesn't even show the slightest bit of interest in what he's doing below. Occasionally, Kuroo would send you a text on how boring the conversation was going so you'd bring up a topic for the both of you.

"You ok?" He asks while you smile at him before leaning your head on his shoulder, suddenly exhausted with wondering about him.

"I'm fine, babe." You say while he forgets the noise in the background. The nickname slipping of your lips so easily, even when you didn't need to call him that.

"Wanna go back to our room?" That was what you wanted anyway but was it rude to walk out of gatherings like this?

"Is that fine with you?" You asked looking up to meet his eyes.

"As long as your okay." He says, making your heart give out a pocket of panic.

You stood up with him following behind you. He was genuinely concerned with you so he catches up to you, slinging his arm around your shoulder bringing you close to him.

"Thanks, Tetsu." You bid him as he opens the door for you. You lied down on the bed as Kuroo sits beside you.

"You sure you're okay? I can tell them that you can't attend the party if you're sick."

"I just got really bored and distracted back there. I'm sorry if I made you worry." Kuroo flicks your forehead with his finger making you say "ow."

"Stop saying sorry, dumbass. You're my priority either way."

Stop. No. Never, remember? You think to yourself.

"Is it because I'm your 'girl?' "

"You've always been my girl, what are you talking about?" He says raising an eyebrow at you while you hit him with a pillow, confused to why your cheeks became warm at his statement.

"Oi, what was that for!" He says before throwing a pillow at you as an act of revenge. Still flushed from earlier, you threw another pillow at him. You couldn't even respond to him without telling your heart to calm down.

"You know what? Let's just watch a movie to pass some time." You suggested taking your laptop while Kuroo stares at you, bewildered at how swift your mood changes.

"Women confuse me. Especially you, god- you remind me of Bokuto. Now scooch over, lady."

-

I really am lucky.

Kuroo thinks to himself while he watches you twirl around the mirror for the 5th time just to temporarily assure your insecurities.

Your outfit fits you like a glove. Hugging every curve of your body, the fabric decorating you with its design. Shades of dark colors on your eyes and a tempting lip color that drives Kuroo insane with this new found thought.

"Before you can ask me, you look amazing Y/N- I don't think that's enough to describe how you look tonight." He says, almost out of breath. You quickly get flustered, turning to notice his outfit. Eyes daring up and down, taking in every bit of the stunning middle blocker.

"Hopefully I can remind you that my eyes are up here." He takes a step towards you, inches away from your nose as he studies your appearance. You just stand out, like a star blinding him. Dangerous as it is, he stares the longest at your lips.

"Y/N? Honey, our ride is here! Tell Kuroo that the guys are looking for him as well!" Your aunt shouts making Kuroo step back, not wanting a problem to surface upon the deal.

"We can meet here at 10pm if you ever feel bored okay?" You nod at him as he places a kiss on your forehead.

"Noted." You said smiling at him, you honestly forgot to thank him for the compliment but the way your eyes danced around him gave him an answer already.

"I'll see you in a bit."

-

Kuroo feels the need to step out of this party. It wasn't like he didn't enjoy the stories of your uncles but this wasn't a circle he could fit into. Sure, the karaoke was humourous to watch but there was a need for him to be alone with you instead.

So, he dials your phone.

"Kuroo? What is it?" You asked him, escaping the noise of your aunties laughing as you went to the balcony.

"Just checking in on you, you good?"

"Is this a signal that you wanna leave babe?" You said chuckling, Kuroo smiles while he stands up to meet with your relatives to bid them goodbye.

"Sadly, yes and you?"

"I'll be there."

Few minutes passed as Kuroo got to your location. He couldn't allow you to commute when you looked that stunning, he was there to keep you safe at all times so you spent your time with silence in a cab back to the hotel. Kuroo didn't wanna talk about the party because he felt too drained to do it.

He takes his jacket and places it on your shoulders while you pull them closer to your body.

You two were seated on the bed while Kuroo removes your heels and setting them on the floor next to your other pairs of shoes. After removing them, you travel to the kitchen and sit on the sink as you drank water. Kuroo follows you with him beside you, leaning on it.

Why is it so quiet? You wondered.

Usually, Kuroo would make remarks or just bring up a conversation with you but you two just sat there with thoughts lingering around each other. While you set down the glass, Kuroo sets himself between your legs making your eyes widen while he sets his hands on either side your hip.

"What's on your mind? You do know that your silence is too loud for me." He says stroking your sides, making you trapped in a heated moment.

"Tetsu-"

"You've been off all morning. What's going on, Y/N?" He asks with sincerity. Ever since breakfast, all he's noticed is how your eyes never dared to stare back at his. How fidgety you were with his hand in yours, the way you'd gaze off into a state of thinking for a few seconds and your hands would feel cold compared to his.

"I- I don't know." You said honestly. There was a block in your mind and your heart. You couldn't notice how you were acting because there's a certain discussion that you unintentionally avoid. Was it the panic Kuroo set your heart in? Is it the way his skin on yours makes you wanna melt?

Was it the butterfly fluttering in you when he said you were his?

"Maybe you're just falling in love with me." Kuroo whispers leaning his face close to yours. God, he was joking. He should be but with his body moving without his system functioning before his orders, he was doomed already.

Unexpectedly, you leaned closer.

You could feel how Kuroo held his hand firmer to your hip while he continues to take away the centimeters in the space you had left. Tilting his head, his lips were impeccably close to yours, threatening you with how you wished they'd be on you already.

But what if I am?

"Isn't that part of the game?" You whispered back, as he steps away. The moment washes over him making his knees almost give out at what he just wanted to do. You sighed as he walks away, leaving you stranded in a pool of questionable feelings.

Your hearts were screaming. What foolishness did you insert yourself in? Kuroo felt like he shouldn't have walked away and chose the fatal move by kissing you the way he always wanted to do but he had to avoid the tightening of his chest.

No one can win in a battle of temptations, especially when your lips were calling his name.

You removed yourself from the sink while you entered your shared bed seeing Kuroo tucked in the sheets, obviously hiding.

You hopped on the either side of the bed with a sigh as you tried to silence out the voices in your head.

I don't want to be in this with you anymore.

-

It wasn't a surprise to see the left side of the bed empty. The moment you woke up, the both of you weren't ready to converse what happened last night, especially the middle blocker. It was his move and you couldn't even manage to move on your own after it. Now what surrounds the room is unresolved tension.

You finally got out of bed, stepping into the bathroom to brush your teeth, locking the door to leave you at peace with your mind. You decided to take a shower knowing the time of the wedding.

Kuroo comes back from grabbing your breakfast. He sees the impact of what happened last night. It was his fault for leaving without explanation now he has to endure the coldness of it all.

He hears the water running so he leans his forehead on the door, his heart wanting nothing more then for everything to be the way it was before.

"If only you knew." He whispers before gathering his tux for the event, sighing to himself.

When you walk out with a towel on, hair dripping droplets, he turns away immediately while you felt the frustration grew in how he was acting.

During your shower, you chose to base your actions with your brain instead of your heart. It can never lead you to proper decisions. Kuroo was making the situation worse—you had expected him to act like nothing happened the next day, maybe then things would have been easier.

"Have you eaten breakfast?" You asked him while he gives you a nod.

Speak to me please.

"I'll go get ready then." There was no point in hoping for a response from him and you grew tired because of it.

His mouth couldn't agree with his mind. He was caught up on if he wanted to apologize or act like nothing happened. He couldn't read your emotions properly even if he feels like he should 'cause if not then this going to grow into something you could both hate.

He's in between of thinking if you want things to be 'normal' or if you want some sort of explanation from him. He also feels like you'd escape the conversation seeing that you leaned in as well, which surprised him. He just can't face it, he can't bring up the words to express how right it felt even if it was wrong.

Still, both ways has his heart still long for you. The regret hasn't died in his body and he wishes it would.

"What time do you think they'll take us to the venue?" Your voice makes him awake somehow, he turns to see applying your makeup in the dress that the bride suggested you'd wear. Just like yesterday, he was struck again. The way the white stood out with the faint details of the dress had you glow like a star he wishes on.

"I don't know." He responds, he fell short on his words and there was still a clear state of hesitation that follows him.

You were fueled by him, yet this fire couldn't be held back.

Kuroo sees the way you drop the brush, leaving a sound echo through the silence he made, the way your heels clicked when you walked right up to him, a weak feeling setting in him knowing your stare was digging holes in his head as he looks at you.

"I think you're forgetting that you moved first."

You say, making him sweat under the confrontation but you let your words show how he managed to place your heart in your hands.

"So why act like we didn't want the same thing?"

You had him stunned. There weren't proper thoughts that ran in his mind, some parts of him still bringing him back to what happened last night and the other wanted to look into the future which was looking unsteady.

"We wouldn't want to ruin our deal, right?" His tone was laced with a threat. He couldn't even set his decisions right. Just blurting out words he thought was enough for the both of you.

"Kuroo, that wasn't an act." You argued making him crumble with another mistake in his response. You both felt it and there wasn't a way to act all blind to it. You were aware and admitted it to him face to face. That was the confirmation he needed to get his heart removed from its knots.

"Y/N-"

You step closer to him, a firm finger on his chest while your eyes stayed on

"If the show is more important to you, then let's call it like nothing happened."

While you give a push to his chest, you turned your back to him hoping it'd make him walk to you and tell you his genuine feelings.

But your heels lead you away from him and his feet remained glued to the floor.

-

They say weddings brought people together to celebrate love.

That is- the love that circled between you two is an experiment you'll never understand.

As you went to the wedding, everyone looked at this perfect couple who radiated silent rage with each other.

Kuroo feels the sting in his heart when you were forced to hold his hand and stick around him. Your voice portrayed it so easily- like this role of being his girlfriend was a reflex, something that you know by the back of the hand.

Meanwhile, he's forgotten his lines.

His expressions, the nicknames guardedly falling off his lips, the shaking hands that roamed around your waist, he was falling apart.

Suddenly, forgetting his role and searching for the script of reality.

Everyone can see it. The way you smiled and tried to avoid questions of why you both seems so close but feel so distant with each other. You'd laugh it off or change the topic to the lovely couple instead, even the bride could sense it.

While the ceremony begins, Kuroo couldn't stop looking at your direction. How could he not when his eyes loved the sight of you? Disregarding the tone of your voice earlier that scared the wits out of him, the way you strutted in that dress of yours still had his heart held captive.

Meanwhile, you kept your eyes busy by trying to focus on the couple. If you didn't control yourself, you would drown in him. Did that tux really have to be perfect in him? The way his hair was actually swept back with gel, exposing a new level of attraction for you.

For a second, Kuroo looks away knowing you'd never look his way the same way again.

And Cupid was sure to hit you right this time.

"Honey, you've shown me love in ways I never knew you could do. At first, I was scared. You know me- love is a deadly road but you drove me to the safest place. Love is scary but with you— I'm willing to fear it as long as I'm yours." The bride vows making some of your relatives form tears in their eyes at the beautiful choice of words.

You bit your lip, finding it ironic how it fits you. You were sure as hell scared. Knowing Kuroo and having to experience a bond with him and it could all end because of a mere kiss. You weren't ready to lose, both in love and in this level of fate.

"I've never said it before but I was scared too. It doesn't show- I know. Losing you is something that haunts me for the rest of my life, it's cliche but what's love without you? Even if I'm having some trouble in saying it, I love you and I don't think I can ever lie about that." The groom says while the bride wipes away her tears, fanning her eyes.

Didn't that just took the words right out of Kuroo?

He gulps, looking at you as you also turned to look at him. An antsy feeling settling in your bodies, the number of butterflies swarming around you was increasing with every word that replays in your minds.

Minutes pass as the newly married couple kiss, making you both awaken at the sound of cheers from your relatives. You stood up from your seat, joining the crowd as they watch the two walk down the path smiling at each other.

Kuroo was on the other side, joined by your male relatives while you were on the side with your aunties. Both of you were tremendously nervous. You decided to avert your eyes on the bride as she readies herself to thow the boquet of bright flowers.

You sighed as you decided to walk away but destiny tugs on your motives.

Time slows down as the boquet thrown in the air was circling around while they all watched on whose lucky hands it lands on. They all tried to reach it, believing in the myth that surrounded it.

Dropping an item from your bag, you bent down to pick it up but what made your eyes widen was the sight of the fallen flowers in front of you and everyone that surrounded you, disappeared in your mind.

Picking it up slowly, the boquet resting in your hand as you admired each flower but your heart was struck like an arrow hittings its target point.

Kuroo held his breath, clenching his hands as he stood there.

Giving one last glance to the boquet, your eyes finally met Kuroos astounded ones and the world goes into a blur while he remained to stay focused in your line of sight.

Just like that, Cupid lands a bullseye to both hearts.

I have been watching too many Christmas movies and I'm dying for some JayRea Christmas fluff. Something where Jay thinks she is adorable and Jay does something really special and sweet for her. Totally corny adorable Christmas fluff.

Hello,

I feel we all need fluff, so here’s some more fluff from the HfaB Universe! I hope you enjoy! =)

The Holiday of Red!

Jason stood in his ware house; which was a fucking bitch toheat; with a mug of coffee and looking at the shit he had bought and wonderedwhat the fuck was wrong with him; other than the fact he’d had a bit too much coffeeand not enough sleep and fucking internet access. Also, this was the first timehe had been in one place long enough to even do this! He had lost his mind.Yup, mind was lost.

However, he kind of wanted to do this.

“Alright, you rang me for whatever reason and it’d better bea good reason because Black Friday is HELL,” a smoky monotone said.

“Well, you tell me if this warrants as good,” Jason saidholding out the mug of hot chocolate for her in the Boston College hockey mughe had from Vic for her.

“Oh.” She blinked a few times at the shit before them. “ReallyJason?” she asked.

“What!?” he demanded. “In my defense I have never been inone place long enough to celebrate Christmas.”

“And Wayne Maner doesn’t count?” Raven mocked.

“Okay, lemme clarify, after death I haven’t had time tocelebrate Christmas, or been in one spot long enough to celebrate it. Unless Icount Libya, but I was busy that year.”

“What were you doing so long in Libya?” she demanded.

“What I do best.” He shrugged.

Raven pursed her lips and he smiled a bit before taking asip of his coffee. “I will find out what happened in Libya.”

“A great many things,” he assured her. “Anyways, I’ve neverbeen anywhere, beside Libya, long enough to celebrate, and being here for sometime, I apparently am stupid and,” he gestured to the boxes.

“I see,” she mused.

“I need to get it done before Roy gets home with Lian,” Jasonstated. Ace rolled over at his feet exposing his belly as he smiled that puppysmile.

“Awe, you sound almost domesticated,” Raven chuckled pattinghis cheek. Jason glared at her then.

“Are you done?”

“Can I make husband jokes?” she asked.

“I don’t have a husband,” Jason stated.

“Right, and you don’t have an adorably baby girl, a puppy, anda small business together, also you two kick ass and go out for Sunday dinners,”she mused.

“I hate you sometimes,” he decided.

“You adore me and you know it,” she smiled. “And I’ll totallyhelp you out, can I use magic.”

“Gods yes!” he pleaded. “Except the tree, I like doing thetree,” he admitted.

“Mmm… Do you even have a tree?”

“I bought a fake one, with glitter and frost and pine coneson it,” Jason said smugly. He liked the tree he had picked, it looked like it wouldbelong in a frosty forest; made him remember better times, before he died. Notthat he was saying that. Ever.

“You’re hopeless,” Raven decided. She had that smug look onher lips, and he smirked before she flicked her wrist and all the decorationsmoved, and he smiled watching her work her magic. It was still so fucking amazingto watch her work, the serine look on her face. It was like she wasn’t evenreal honestly, Jason sometimes questioned her reality to be honest. No way anyof them schmucks were good enough for a queen like her.

His eyes wandered over his floating friend, she looked likea ballerina right now, so slim, slight, her flaring hips and strong legs, thatass; in those yoga pants. It was now he realized she was barefoot and, in herpajamas, and somehow, she looked like a fucking angel. Blasphemy be damned,that demon was far more saintly than a Catholic nun. Lights, garland, pictures,pillows and blankets with table clothes, candles, dishware and silverware cameout, she twisted her hands and he watched a bit in awe as she summoned it allto life and perfectly set it up with ease. A second later she landed on the groundagain with her hot chocolate in hand as she flicked the tree up and fluffed it.

“That’s just showing off,” he decided.

“I would never!” she mocked.

“Oh little bird, you are exactly like your namesake,” hedecided tossing some of the tinsel in her hair, she gaped at him.

“You did not!” she started.

“Oh I did!” he teased as he leapt out of her reach she puther hot chocolate in the air, grabbing tinsel of her own.

“You’re going to pay for that human!”

“Make me demon!”

Ace yipped excitedly as he charged Raven, Raven ran, Acechased, Jason dove over his couch grabbing more tinsel as he leapt.

“ACE ATTACK!” he laughed.

“NOT HELPING!” Raven shrieked, he saw her get toppled by thepuppy, dropping into the shadows, baffling Ace who sat down as his ear floppedforward. Raven appeared over him with a handful of tinsel, he grinned catchingher waist, she yelped as he shoved a shit ton of tinsel in her hair, she kneedhim in the gut, he laughed as they rolled off the couch, Ace leapt over landingon him and yipped in triumph.

“Yeah, you a good boy,” Jason decided, pulling tinsel out ofhis eyes.

“You are covered in green,” she snickered.

“Green is a very fashionable color I’ll have you know!” heretorted. Green wasn’t so bad anymore. She lay there with her ankles crossed onthe couch and looked at him with all the blue tinsel in her hair. “Are you feelingblue, love?” he asked.

“As the sky,” she chuckled. They sat there in silence as herubbed Ace’s ears.

“We gotta do the tree,” he said.

“Obviously.”

“I want it silver and red!” he decided.

“What about blue!?”

“Do I look like a blue kind of guy?”

“You like red too much.”

“It hides blood nice enough,” he retorted.

“Really? You’re going with that defense?”

“Well I could point out that Red Hood, Red Arrow, Artemis isa Redhead, Biz loves red, and it’s Lian’s favorite color.”

“I’m surrounded by Red.”

“Don’t worry sunshine, we’ll decorate the other tree blueand silver!”

“How many trees did you buy!?”

“Three.”

“Well… what’s the third one going to be?”

“Green and silver,” he answered.

“Why no gold?”

“Cause, too many memories,” he answered honestly.

“Fair enough.”

“Come on, up and at ‘em, time to do the tree,” he said. He tossedsome silver tinsel in her hair, she scowled, he snickered.
