౨ৎ SYNOPSIS :

you weren’t the type to fall for bad boys. but then again, ni-ki wasn’t just any bad boy. he was a storm you didn’t see coming, all sharp grins and reckless charm, making you feel like you were the only girl in the world. but the thing about storms? they leave nothing but ruins behind.

Y/n had a huge crush on Ni-ki since middle school. It wasn’t a normal crush. It was the kind where she would daydream about him in class and then pretend she wasn’t staring when he turned around. The kind where her heart did stupid gymnastics every time he walked by. ─ Read more under the cut!

But the problem?

Ni-ki was Ni-ki.

He was the school’s bad boy. Too cool, too handsome, too untouchable. He skipped class, talked back to teachers, and somehow always smelled really good?? He had a leather jacket, a motorcycle (even though he was probably too young for a license), and an attitude that made girls fall at his feet.

And Y/n? She was just… Y/n.

“Girl, stop,” Minji, her best friend, groaned as Y/n stared at Ni-ki across the cafeteria. “You’ve been crushing on him for years. It’s embarrassing.”

“I can’t help it,” Y/n whispered, watching as Ni-ki leaned back in his chair, spinning a basketball in his hands, totally ignoring the girls giggling around him.

Minji rolled her eyes. “He doesn’t even know you exist.”

But oh, Minji was wrong.

Because that same day, something crazy happened.

Ni-ki walked up to her locker, leaned against it like in a movie, and smirked.

“Hey, princess.”

Y/n almost died on the spot.

Ever since that day, Ni-ki started showing up.

Like, everywhere.

He sat behind her in class. He “accidentally” bumped into her in the hallway. He stole food off her lunch tray like they’d been dating for years.

“You’re so annoying,” Y/n pouted one day as he took another one of her fries.

Ni-ki just grinned. “Nah, you love it.”

Her heart did a backflip.

Minji, of course, was suspicious. “This is weird,” she said one afternoon. “Ni-ki doesn’t just talk to girls. He destroys them.”

Y/n ignored her. Because suddenly, Ni-ki was hers.

One day after school, Ni-ki was waiting by his motorcycle, licking a cherry lollipop.

“Wanna go for a ride?” he asked, twirling the candy in his mouth.

“I-I don’t know…”

“You scared?” He tilted his head, his smirk making her weak in the knees.

“N-no!” she stuttered.

“Then get on, princess.”

And she did.

And it was the best (and scariest) ride of her life.

Y/n and Ni-ki got close.

Too close.

He started texting her at night. He’d throw pebbles at her window and laugh when she peeked out. He’d pull her into empty hallways and whisper things that made her blush like crazy.

One night, he snuck her out to the basketball court. It was just them, the cool night air, and the sound of crickets.

Ni-ki spun the ball on his finger. “You’re different,” he muttered.

Y/n blinked. “Different how?”

“You actually look at me like I’m a person.” He flicked the ball away and stepped closer. “Not just some bad boy.”

Her heart pounded.

And then — BOOM— he kissed her.

It was warm. A little rough. A little sweet.

Her brain stopped working.

When he pulled away, he smirked. “Knew you wanted me, princess.”

Y/n smacked his arm. “Shut up.”

But she was smiling like an idiot.

Everything was perfect right ?

Until it wasn’t.

One day, Y/n walked into school and everything felt off.

Girls were whispering. Some were crying.

Minji looked pale.

“What’s going on?” Y/n asked, her stomach twisting.

Minji swallowed. “Ni-ki… he…”

And then Y/n saw it.

A video was playing on the school TV.

It was Ni-ki and another girl. KISSING.

Y/n’s heart shattered.

She stormed outside and found him leaning against his motorcycle, looking guilty.

“HOW COULD YOU?!” she yelled, voice shaking.

Ni-ki sighed. “It’s not what you think.”

“NOT WHAT I THINK? YOU’RE LITERALLY KISSING SOME RANDOM GIRL ON A BIG SCREEN.”

Ni-ki ran a hand through his hair. “Listen, Y/n—”

“NO! I WAS SO STUPID FOR FALLING FOR YOU!” She turned to leave, but then—

“Wait.” He grabbed her wrist. “I did it to protect you.”

Y/n froze. “What?”

Ni-ki clenched his jaw. “That girl… she’s the principal’s daughter. He found out about us and told me to break up with you. If I didn’t, he’d expel you.”

Y/n’s mouth dropped open.

“So… you fake cheated on me?” she whispered.

Ni-ki looked away. “Yeah.”

Y/n felt like she couldn’t breathe. “You could’ve just told me!”

“Would you have let me do it?”

She didn’t answer.

Ni-ki sighed. “I did it to protect you, princess.”

But Y/n just shook her head, tears in her eyes.

“You broke my heart, Ni-ki.” She took a deep breath. “I don’t need your protection anymore.”

And with that, she walked away.

Y/n ignored Ni-ki after that.

No more texts. No more motorcycle rides. No more stolen fries.

Ni-ki still watched her from afar, regret in his eyes.

Minji patted Y/n’s back. “You finally got over him, huh?”

Y/n hesitated.

She knew bad boys where bad news. And this time, she wasnt falling for it.

.... Or was she?

Knowledge - @moonchaser-microfic - wc: 499

Remus prided himself on knowledge. Silently. He'd never start bragging about his good grades outright, but if it would piss James off, he'd do it all the time. It was just too easy—James, the ever-confident, ever-reckless Gryffindor, absolutely hated being second-best at anything. And if Remus could get under his skin with a well-timed remark about his essay marks, well, that was just a bonus.

This time, though, he held back. Mostly because James really did need to study, and if Remus wanted to avoid another incident of James dramatically throwing his Potions textbook across the dormitory, he had to take a different approach. He bit his tongue against any smug remarks and instead tapped his quill against the open Charms textbook in front of them.

"Alright, let’s go over this again," Remus said, trying to keep his voice even. "The Wand-Lighting Charm—"

"Is incredibly dull," James interjected, chin propped on his hand, staring at Remus in a way that had absolutely nothing to do with Charms.

Remus sighed. "Yes, well, some of us actually care about passing our exams."

James hummed noncommittally. He hadn’t turned a page in fifteen minutes. He hadn't even picked up his quill. "D’you know you do this thing with your nose when you're concentrating? Sort of scrunch it up a bit? It’s adorable."

Remus blinked. Heat crept up his neck. "What?"

James grinned lazily, completely unbothered by Remus’s bewilderment. "Your nose," he repeated, gesturing vaguely at Remus’s face. "You scrunch it up like this—" He attempted to demonstrate, which just made him look utterly ridiculous.

Remus groaned, dropping his forehead onto the textbook. "Merlin, help me."

"Nah, I think you’ve got it all wrong, Moony." James leaned in, and Remus could hear the smirk in his voice. "Merlin sent me to help you."

Remus lifted his head just enough to glare at him. "You're insufferable."

"And yet, here we are," James said breezily, still looking at him like he was the most fascinating thing in the world.

Remus could feel his resolve slipping. He hated how easily James could do this—turn a study session into some kind of game, making Remus forget why he was even annoyed in the first place. He hated it even more that he didn’t really mind.

"If you actually studied, I wouldn't have to be here," Remus pointed out, though his voice had lost most of its edge.

James tilted his head. "Oh? So you don't want to be here with me?" He pouted theatrically, but there was something softer underneath it, something that made Remus’s breath catch.

He looked away, feigning exasperation. "I want to finish this session before sunrise, if that counts for anything."

James chuckled, finally—finally—picking up his quill. "Alright, alright. But only if you promise not to get too distracted staring at my beautiful face."

Remus didn’t dignify that with a response. He did, however, let James get away with brushing their knees together under the table. Just this once.

Still Here 3

Reunion with Tommy

Story Summary: There's a lot of people with expectations of Steve and he's reached the point where he'll call out when they're wrong

Chapter Summary: Tommy comes into Family Video and perhaps both he and Steve have changed since high school

This is part 3. When written I will link the rest here: Part 1, 2, 4, 5

~

“Is that Harrington?” Steve heard the familiar voice ask just as he was taking the returns to the back so they didn’t have them out while a rush was happening.

Soon enough he was leant back behind the counter nodding at Tommy. “Yup, don’t expect applause for recognising me.”

“You’re still here? Dude, I could have sworn you’d be out.” Tommy tried to tease as he had done when they were friends.

“Still here and you’re still the same.” Steve raised his eyebrows, expecting something more to be said.

Tommy shook his head laughing instead of getting annoyed, “Nah, college changes you, man. We should hang out while I’m back. Catch up, have some drinks.”

“Don’t think I’ve got an evening free. And hey, when you manage to stay at college long enough to change you really should let me know. It’d be interesting to see.” Steve almost wanted to antagonise Tommy, see if the anger that he’d been so quick to lash out with really had been calmed, but didn’t want to be too much of a dick.

“Too bad, man, it would’ve been cool to recreate some of our best times.” He chuckled again, seeming unconcerned by one of the few implications that did wind Steve up still, being called unchanging all the time got exhausting.

Steve pulled a face, “Like what? Shot-gunning beers beside my pool? Dodging the cops when escaping a party? I’ve done enough other things that those aren’t the best by far.”

For a moment Tommy just watched him, before a soft smile Steve would never have imagined seeing grew, “No one found the answer yet. You’re still waiting for people to hear the question, aren’t you?”

“You made that harder for them.” Steve countered, remembering a joke they’d had in middle school, about neither of their parents knowing what they actually wanted. Tommy had wanted independence and the chance to make his own mistakes and he’d forced them into that through high school but Steve’s wishes were harder to define. “But I’ve got people who mostly know the question now.”

“Talking ‘bout me Dingus?” Robin nudged him with her hip while moving past him behind the counter. “Get Hagan to move on so you can actually help with these customers.”

Hagan glanced back at her, raising an eyebrow at Steve, not saying anything.

“Robin Buckley. She’s in band and not a girlfriend, just a moment that’s real.” Steve answered happily.

Tommy nodded as if that made perfect sense. “Look at us, two men, still here no matter what Hawkins or the World threw at us. If you want to catch up more, I’m staying at home for a bit.”

“See you around, Tommy.” Steve went to call the next customer but Tommy paused, smirking and tapping a video he hadn’t noticed on the counter.

“Thanks for not entirely wasting the time to catch up, now get out of here.” Steve laughed, putting the video through quickly.

yuri lowell versus gacha games

(*Rays translations in these screenshots belong to me and have been inputted into my own game. full scene hasn't been posted yet)

ability to use his arm and thus fight with that arm lost temporarily in Link before being beat the absolute fuck up by a guy who nearly captured him, threw him in a dungeon and left him barely alive;

brainwashed/memory wiped and given altered memories temporarily in Asteria;

a transgressor from apparently (game shut down before we got a backstory - or frankly anything else at all) being caught committing a crime and put on Vision Central and thus condemned by the majority of the viewers as guilty in Crestoria;

Yuri doing just fine in Rays except Flynn's body is being used by another guy and he does not fucking like it and has a glorious meltdown and is no longer doing just fine upon finding out.

that, uh, does not include the fact that he was seen by Glastein in Rays arc 4 who has a deep obsession with dark hair officially he says black hair but yuri's is purple i'll die on that hill and he also likes lukius' hair too which is clearly brown so uh I'M saying dark hair and commented very very creepily on the length and shine of Yuri's hair and how he wanted to take it home with him.

so yeah! uh! Yuri's gacha life, everyone!
