#man should get a job coaching I'm just sayin

[pepperf]

Earthrealm's seven greatest warriors have been invited to Shang Tsung's island, to compete in a tournament that will decide the fate of their realm and its inhabitants.

Among these combatants are Diego Hargreeves, martial artist and failed policeman. He must face Outworld's chosen champion, Lila Pittz.

Will his arsenal of combat skills - including hand-to-hand, karate, aikido, hapkido, krav maga, jujitsu, muay thai, kendo, sambo, wing chun, and others - be enough to win the battle against her mysterious powers - or will Earthrealm fall under the heel of the Emperor?

Welcome...to Mortal Kombat.

Chapter 1: Stahp callin' me Miya

next>

Masterlist

warnings: profanity & complaining

"No Miya you cannot for the love of god post that you wanna ride Sakusa's dick on tiktok,"

"why not i'd be funny,"

Funny enough, leaving the MSBY gymnasium was the hardest part about your job. It should be the easiest, but all the boys think you clocking out means now is the time to ask you questions. In particular a setter manages to do this everyday. You always catch him running out of the locker room door with wet hair and his gym bag hugged tightly to his chest as he chases after you. Half the time his questions don't even have to do with your job. Questions he should be asking the manager or coach.

Exiting the large building the two of you are met with the beautiful, natural landscape of osaka. The parking lot with huge trees shading your cars, and small lights in the ground not to ruin the scenery. They even managed to make sure the garden full of flowers in the front was managed daily. The landscape would be so relaxing if there wasn't a loud blonde haired setter talking your ear off.

You'd think he'd be trying to get with you with how determined he is to be by your side on your way out, but those thoughts leave as soon as he opens his mouth.

Questions fly out of: 'can ya check out this pimple on my ass' or 'would it ruin mah image if i posted a twerking video'. If anyone heard your conversions they'd think you two are just close friends, but you only met him a few months ago and never see him outside of your job.

Atsumu was just a carefree young man without a filter, and as much as you hated him annoying you on your way out, you were grateful. You were grateful that you had someone walk you to your car in the afternoon or at night even if he wasn't purposefully doing it.

Like right now, while he rants about what a good idea it would be to post his hot-takes on his teammates he subconsciously opens your car door for you, and waits for you to roll your window down before shutting it.

"I'm just sayin' I don't think there will be as much backlash as ya think," the thick accent rolls off his tongue as he ducks his large body down to be face to face with you.

"Okay, yeah when you're getting death threats from Sakusa's fan's I won't be there to help you."

At your retort he scrunches his stupidly cute face up and fires back, "yah, ya will. It's yer job," he finished by giving you his best matter of fact face and waited for you to respond. You think that's why he enjoys toying with you so much, because he knows you will fight his own fire with more fire, but you also hate when he's right--like right now.

You close your eyes and take a deep breath before continuing, "Please Miya just give me one weekend where I don't need to clean up your mess off the clock,"

"When have ya ever hadda do that,"

"Last weekend when you got in a fist fight at a bar," you snapped back.

"Hey! That guy was makin' a lady uncomfortable," he reasons.

"Yes, Miya it was sweet of you, but not for MSBY when headlines of 'MSBY Setter caught in Bar Brawl' hit the first page," Working with the boys as their publicist was hard to say the least. It's like babysitting, but without the money for dinner. Constantly making sure the boys don't fight, swear, or even post stupid tiktoks. You have to review their posts before they post it, and think of any possible way they could receive backlash for it, but the best part of it all was seeing the terrible photos of the boys-like the picture of Atsumu being punched in the face- or getting calls from their mom's because their son won't pick up.

"okay I promise…under one condition," dear god, "stahp callin' me Miya! I have a twin it's confusing!"

Exaggerating you stick you head out of the car window and glace around before ultimately turning back to the man and saying, "I've never met him so 'till I do it's Miya,"

At that you roll up your window as Atsumu gives you a look of disbelief. You signed a very specific contract. You cannot under any circumstances get close to the boys, so to save yourself from wanting more you will stick to their last names.

Taglist: OPEN!

I AGREE WHOLEHEARTEDLY WITH THIS ENTIRE ARTICLE.

YOU BETTER PREACH!!!! I'M JUST SAYIN'! THIS ARTICLE IS COMING FROM A MAN. LOL! LOL!

- No Masculine Man Is Okay With Being Proposed To. It Would Make Him Uncomfortable. Also, No Feminine Woman Is Comfortable Proposing To A Man. She Knows That's His Job To Pursue & Propose.

Men Are Hunters By Nature & When They've Been Raised Properly (OR) Learned Better & Properly, They Don't Let Women Bear The Brunt Of Burdens Nor Do They Allow The Woman They Love To Propose, (Even If She Is Ready Before Him.) He Still Knows That That's His Job To Do The Proposing & Prepares Accordingly When It's Time.

Men Don't Need Any Help In That Department. When They Want You, There Is Nothing That Can Stop Them From Hunting/Loving & Getting To You To Pursue You & Show Interest. I've Been Proposed To (5) Times & A Lot Of The Guys I Dated, Either Talked About Marriage For Our Future Together Or Mentioned It To Me, So I Knew It Was On Their Mind To Propose At A Later Date OR They'd Straight Out Say, So When We Get Married...And For Those That Weren't On The Same Wavelength When I Was Ready For Marriage, I Released Them & Let Them Go! I Didn't Have To Ask If They Were Ready, I Already Knew They Weren't Because They Weren't Going In That Direction & I Wasn't Gonna Allow Them To Continue Wasting My Time. A Man Knows & A Woman Knows When A Man Is Ready. If He Ain't Mentioning It, Asking You Or Checking For Your Ring Size As A Hint, He's Not Ready For Marriage. It's That Simple. That's Why I Write Books, Blog & Coach Couples & Singles Because This World Is So Turned Around.

5 Things I'm Looking For in Auburn's A-Day Game

There are five distinct things that I would like to see in this year's A-Day game. I'm sure you've all watched, listened, and read a ton of things that have to do with my list. But this list.. This list is my list. "The one list to rule them all" you could say. 1. The Offensive Tempo               I hear, from other Auburn sites that actually have accreditation in all things Auburn Football, that this year's game will be fast... Really really fast. When I say fast, I mean... Nick Marshall fakes to Tre Mason and runs it 35 yards untouched fast. Offensive Coordinator Chip Lindsey said in a earlier interview that "things will be going so fast. It'll be hard to tell how much one particular player is doing of what." That leads me to believe that the offense will finally be getting back to the HUNH we are all accustomed to. I know I miss it.. I'm sure all of you miss it.. And I know the players and coaches miss it! Maybe this year we can show ole' Nicky Poo how the HUNH is supposed to look. Friggin' Jalen Hurts.. Just a glorified RB that throws ducks (Tim Tebow... Just sayin'). 2. Defensive Line Play               Oh boy!!! Defense!! My favorite part of football! Nothin' better than a 250 lb man crushing into the facemask of a helpless RB or QB. I love the smash-mouth attitude of our defense. I love the hit them in the mouth then use their faces as a crutch to stand up on attitude on our defense! I just wish we had more players like that on the defensive line. Marlon Davidson separated himself from all the returning DL players, last year. But I'm ready to see more players play with his drive. I'm ready to see Byron Cowart break out at his new position of DT/DE hybrid position. I'm ready to see Derrick Brown grow into a game changing DT. Nick Coe.. We had to wait an extra year to see him play, but I hear good things about good ole' Nick "Pickle" Coe. There are just so many players to watch on the DL on Saturday. Things are looking up! 3. Offensive Line Play               I know what you're thinking... "But Auburn has consistently had a super solid OL". Yes, that may be true, but we lost two VERY good starters. Robert Leff and Alex Kozan have left for the NFL. Braden Smith will be looking at an increased role at either RG or RT. Darrius James has all but locked up the LT spot. Marquel Harrell and Mike Horton are in a pretty tight battle for LG. Austin Golson will reclaim his starting C spot for two years in a row. I want to see how these guys face adversity and adjust. I want to see chemistry. I want to see them own their mistakes instead of making excuses. I want to see them work TOGETHER! I Herb Hand will get the job done and let these boys know what they're fighting for. Saturday's game will surely give us a big peek into what we can expect on opening day. 4. Running Backs               Kamryn Pettway... Man.. What a friggin ox! You square him up, you get popped in the mouth. You go high on him, you're through! You go low, he gets lower. There's no question as to who will be the #1 RB. But the #2 spot.. That's a different question. Now.. Before you all jump down my throat and declare Kerryon Johnson the sure fire #2, hear me out. Kam Martin and Malik Miller are giving Kerryon a run for his money. Have no fear though.. The "wayward son" Kerryon, will indeed.. carryon. I want to see some real competition! I want to see Kerryon PROVE to everyone that he can come back from his injury from last year that ultimately lead to Pettway breaking out. I want to see Kam Martin develop the ability to become a between the tackles running back. I want to see Malik Miller, in general. I want to see what all of the coaches and players were hooping and hollering about last year during spring. Guess we'll find out!! 5. How the Tight Ends are Utilized               My all time favorite offensive position, the Tight End. The one position that can run block, and wait a second, it's a fake! The TE is running a route! The TE is wide open in the endzone! TOUCHDOWN AUBURN!!! I have missed the tight end being a part of our offense since 2010. We'll all never forget Phillip Lutzenkirchen and the impact he had on our team, and in our heart. I mean.. How can anyone forget the "Lutzey"?! That little jig.. Man.. What a hero! Anyway!! Jalen Harris and Sal Canella are technically our only tight ends on our depth chart. But there's also Chandler Cox, what an athlete. This kid can do anything on offense! I want to see the TE be utilized in our offense again. I want to see Jalen Harris earn that 4 star rating! I wanna see Sal Canella turn into the next Evan Ingram. I want to see Chandler Cox continue to grow in our offense! I want to see the TE group show other potential Auburn tight ends why they should come to Auburn! It's about time the TE be incorporated in the gameplan again. Well.. There ya have it.. My list to rule them all. Meh, I know it's similar to all the other ones. But these are the things that mean the most to ME! I want to hear your thoughts. I want to hear about what you guys want to see on Saturday. Let me know! As always... WAR DAMN EAGLE!!!
