Overprotective Ron and Hermoine

Thinking of Ron and Hermoine being so overprotective over Harry after the war. No one even dares to crowd around Harry, not when the two other part of the golden trio started brandishing their wands around as if they were knives that they could just use to stab someone.

(They could, and they would. No one really dared to know because they've seen the two fight in the war; Harry has morals stopping him from doing things, but the two? They seemed to lost it after watching their Harry trying to fight to live and to save their world.)

Once, someone tried ambusing Harry to talk to him (when others say that he was so protected, it was not a lie). It was someone (coughFudgecough) who wants Harry to support him in his political agenda. Unfortunately, when the emerald-eyed boy denied the man, he started shouting at him and even dared to cast a spell towards his direction.

Very furious about what the man tried to do, both Ron and Hermoine started casting every (legal and borderline illegal) curses and spells that they could think of. A few of the witnesses even swore that they saw Hermoine cast a crucio towards the foolish man, but they aren't really willing to do so in court.

(They believe that the man coughFudgecough deserves it.)

Fish of the Day

Today's fish of the day is the pajama shark!

The pajama shark, also known by scientific name Poroderma africanum, is known mostly by divers along Cape Town. These animals are a kind of catshark, a family defined by egg laying and bottom feeding. With a range along the coast of Southern Africa, they stretch from Table bay to East London, found most prominently off of the Western Cape. Historical records imply at one point there may have been a population in Madagascar, but currently there are no signs this population still exists. 

These fish live in shallow waters, getting as deep as 16ft, although in areas with rocky shores, they have been found as deep as  150-300ft, with a strong preference for intertidal locations with nearby kelp forests.. The diet of the pajama shark is made up of bony fishes, smaller rays or sharks, crabs, lobster, cephalopods. In particular pajama sharks have been seen hiding among squid eggs, and ambushing descending parents. They have also been seen ambusing octopi in their area as well, grabbing them and twisting to tear off tentacles larger than the pajama shark's body. They can get as large as 4 ft in length, on the midrange for catsharks.

They have no breeding season, instead having sexual events year round. one pup can be made at a time and eggs are hidden underwater, and covered in algae of kelp to remain hidden. The eggs will take 5-6 months to hatch, after which pups will measure only 14-15 inches long. They will mature sexually by the time they reach 30-35 inches in length, and can live up to 5 years. They hunt in daylight until sexual maturity, at which point they shift schedule, primarily hunting at night, finding places among kelp to rest during the day

Have a wonderful day, everyone!

tw-character death 

Saw cute sprout!ghost, then saw animatic. very cute. Soon ANGST. 

Unedited

When Ghost first awoken, he noticed his pot wasn't in Soap's room but in an office.

Ghost grumbled as he tried to wiggle himself free. The soil was dry, it hadn't been watered in awhile.

Where's Johnny? He promised he would stay with him until he came back. Ghost wanted his sergeant to be the first thing he saw not an empty office.

But Ghost understood why he wasn't here. He didn't blame him, just a tad disappointed. They were soldiers that could've been pulled at any minute. 

Ghost hopped off from his pot and shaked himself like a dog to get rid of the excess dirt that clung onto him.

He looked around and sat on the edge of the desk and waited for someone to come in. 

Sure enough, Price opened the door a few minutes later. 

"Price!"

The captain tensed and his head shot up, only relaxing when he sees the sprout waving at him.

Ghost lowered his arms and went quiet when he saw the captain.

Price's eyes were swollen and bloodshot, like he was crying. Looked like he had lost alot of sleep too from his eyebags.

Did something happen while he was out of commissison?

"Price whats wrong? Where's Johnny?"

Price tensed as he pursed his lips together in thought. He slowly shut his door and slowly walked towards Ghost.

Soon enough his knees hit the floor and his hands flew to hover over Ghost.

"Simon..."

Uh-oh thats not a good sign

"Soap..." Ghost's hands grabbed onto Prices pointer fingers to help ground him. Unknownly his hands were tightly gripping Prices fingers and trembling in nervousness.

"He's gone Simon" Price gasped out as sobs racked his body and he let his head thump onto the edge of the desk.

Ghost started to panic and grab onto the hair that hid under Price's hat. "Who's gone Price?!" He tugged onto the hairs.

Price seemly ignored him. "It was a mission gone wrong. Intel was wrong and they were ambused. At most their injuries weren't too servere but it came at a price."

"Price..."

"Soap..." Price's voice started to fail him as his crying robbed him of his breath.

"He's dead Simon." He finally managed to rasp out.

Ghost tugged harshly on the hairs in his grip. "NO! I dont believe you! Show me!"

Ghost let go of Prices hair as his head moved to look at him.

Suddenly they were at Soap's grave. Ghost couldn't tell when they had even left, the news had left him in a daze and now he was staring at a headstone with a name that he never wanted to see on it.

If Ghost could come back, then so could Soap.

He would return the grave the next day with a water can and a shovel that were his size and wait.

He waited for a sprout to grow from the dirt. Just in case, Ghost watered the dirt around the bural site to see if it would help.

But nothing happened, and that continued on over the week.

He was optimistic when grass started to grow around the headstone.

He continued to be hopeful when grass started to grow.

In his excitement, he even roped a pot and began to drag it daily to the grave for if Soap were to finally sprout he can quickly take him back to the base.

But as time passed, and the grass has continued to grow. No sprout was in sight.

It's been more than a month and any sprouts would been up and grown into a seedling by now.

The sun was setting and the night began to creep up. Ghost whimpered. "Johnny...?"

"You promised you would stay with me Johnny, so why aren't you here right now?" Tears began to leak from his eyes.

"Ghost..." Ghost turned to Price who was standing behind him.

"You can't keep doing this, this isn't healthy."

"But! But he can still come back, I did so why can't he?"

Price shook his head. "I wish that could happen too, but even if it did, he would be here right now."

"NO! Just a little more time. We just need to be patience with Johnny like we always have." Ghost argued.

"Simon..." Price bent down and reached for him.

Ghost made no move to fight him as his hand closed around his body and lifted him up.

"Soaps gone. He's not growing Simon." Price said.

Ghost looked back at the grave, eyes darting around the greenery searching for something. His gaze turned back to Price when he didn't find what he was looking for.

He deflated in his hand, head hanging low and tears started to stream and damp his skin.

"He's really gone isn't he." Voice low and thick with sorrow.

Price nodded sadly and moved to put him close to chest.

Ghost whimpered. "I didn't even get to tell him goodbye. Didn't get to even tell Johnny that I loved him."

Price let out a shuttering sigh as he craddled and comforted his distraught lieutenant. "I know son... I know..."

A part 2 alternate Happy ending 

[lazywolfwiccan]

Me after finding out one of my work friends is an Ambuser stan and he spent five minutes telling me my abuse story doesn't count because I don't believe her even after a manager told him to stop

[latenitewaffles]

Meet Cernunnos, The son of Saint Macuil, as well as Mortala and Begalta! Or as he goes by around humans, Fionn. He's a combat instructor at the Officer's Academy and a Knight of Seiros who typically acts as Rhea's bodyguard. An extroverted and sweet man, Fionn's known for giving people pep talks after being reprimanded by Catherine and taking on more squires than anyone else ever has. He's got the Crest of Cernunnos, and is the only person to have ever had it; in fact, it's barely recorded in history.

Age: ~1700 (Academy/War); Is constantly mistaken as being 18-20 and doesn't correct anyone. Born on the 16th of the Verdant Rain Moon.

Height: 6'3" - 190cm

War Monk

Crest of Cernunnos

Strengths: Faith, Brawling, Axe

Weaknesses: Riding

Close Allies: Seteth, Flayn, Alois

Likes: The Four Saints, helping people, storms

Dislikes: Horses, people sacrificing themselves for him, screaming

More Info Below and Design Notes below! (TW; Mentions of parent death)

Like most Nabateans, Cernunnos lived in Zanado with his parents; Macuil and Begalta, his fathers, and Mortala, his mother. One day, the village was raided by those who would soon be known as the Ten Elites, and many Nabateans were slaughtered. Begalta and Mortala were no exception, killed by Riegan and Fraldarius respectively. Cernunnos was chased down by some bandits and almost killed as well, until he was rescued by Cichol. He was roughly 500 at the time, the Nabatean equivalent of 8 for a human.

Though Seiros had intended on making him a Saint, Macuil loudly objected. After all, the man had just lost his husband and wife; making his son a Saint would just put a larger target on his head, and Macuil didn't want to lose him too. Regardless, Cernunnos still fought in the War of Heroes and quickly became known as a force of nature on the battlefield despite his small stature and (relatively) young age. Humans for the most part had a hard time dealing with the fact that they were being shown up by a child; Macuil took mild pride in it whenever he wasn't worried sick.

Then, after a battle, Cernunnos was getting healed by Cethleann after receiving a particularly nasty injury, they were ambused by the Elite Riegan; Cethleann jumped in front of her younger cousin, taking the hit from Riegan's arrow. Cernunnos went into a rage, transforming into The Stormbringer (his dragon form), and proceeding to rip Riegan to shreds. Despite managing to stabilize Cethleann and constantly being told by his other family that it wasn't his fault, Cernunnos constantly blames himself for what happened and took on a healer role to "make it up to Cethleann".

After the War of Heroes, Cernunnos followed his father to Sreng and stayed there for the coming centuries, developing an incredibly jovial mask to hide the pain he still felt from the War and Zanado. This clashed heavily with Macuil becoming more and more bitter, until it eventually resulted in a falling out where Cernunnos ran away to live at the Monastery in Imperial Year 937, taking on the name Fionn and joining the Knights of Seiros.

Fun Facts and Design Notes!

His Sacred Weapon is called the Fists of Nemea. They have a built-in 3 pointed twisting blade.

He's met many nobles across the 3 countries and has dirt on several people's ancestors

One of the houses he doesn't have dirt on is House Bergliez; One of Caspar's ancestors, Emmeline von Bergliez, was a squire of his.

Avid reader of legends and a big fan of a particular story called "The Shadows of Valentia".

Balthus and Rodrigue both recognize him from their Academy days and are both floored that he looks nearly identical. Catherine does too, but knows his secret.

He considered Sitri his cousin. When she died, he took a long break from the Knights of Seiros.

While both depicted designs are based on the War Monk, the Academy/War design mixes it with Seteth's outfit and the War of Heroes design mixes it with the Sothis Regalia.

His hair is meant to resemble a mix of Chrom and Cloud Strife's hairstyles.

His War of Heroes design puts him at around 600, roughly the equivalent of a human 13 year old. Why did I choose to make Nabatean aging weird? Idk.

The Stormbringer is meant to simultaneously look Wolfish, Birdlike, and Draconic.

The Crest of Cernunnos is associated with the Adjustment Arcana (Alternative Justice Arcana. If you know me you know why) and is known as the "Cloud Dragon Sign".

The Crest of Cernunnos has a slight chance of healing adjacent units the same amount as the target unit.

humanformers options for the ambuses:

both of them are trans and extremely paranoid about being stealth, but only dominus got married and had to make up a story about losing his original dick in a car accident to explain the bottom surgery.

only minimus is trans and dominus doesn't get it At All but in like. a perfectly nice way, all things considered. (this is probably slightly more annoying, because minimus can't be mad about it without sounding petty.) he thinks it's very confusing but it's fine. he keeps trying to help minimus be stealth by claiming they are IDENTICAL twins, which is very dumb because uh. they're not. they literally just do not look the same. minimus has explained why this doesn't work four times now. it's literally making things worse. please stop.

minimus and rewind are trans, but rewind thinks minimus is cis for YEARS, and loses his shit when he finally discovers THAT'S why minimus was so goddamn awkward about it and not because minimus was trying so, so hard not to be a transphobe to his new BiL.

(stupid fucking idea for RP but I wanna see what they do)

*a little girl, no more than 3 walked around ambuse. She had her hair tied up in bows, curing underneath. Her green eyes shined in the afternoon sun. Her clothes seemed not to be cleaned in days.

A Kings Cry...

The Brotherhood had just gotten back From Oropo's Tower, Eveyone was exhausted and Tired.

Especially Yugo.

Night began to Fall as Everyone was getting ready for Bed, Yugo However was pacing Back and forth in His room Next to Adamaï.

He couldn't Stop thinking, 'What if we get Attacked? What if we get Ambused?..' He thought as he continued to Pace.

That was until a voice snapped him form his Thoughts; "Hey, You've been pacing for atleast 20 Minutes, What's Wrong?" Adamaï got up Looking at him worriedly.

Yugo had been Extremely Jumpy Since they got back from Oropos Tower; He'd act like something was always around the Corner. His tail swayed Unconsciously Without him Knowing, Adamaï could feel his Stress. He would bring yugo to his Side trying to calm him Down.

"A..Ad I dont.. Know!" Yugo said Shakily as he started to break. His tail curled under him as he looked up at Adamaï.

"Stay here." Adamaï said to Yugo, Gently Pushing him on the bed. Yugo curled up into a ball, His wings wrapped around himself while his tail remained curled under him. He was terrified of Oropo coming back.

Adamaï walked out of Yugos Room, Closing the door as gentle as possible.

"So How is he!?" Elely Shouted at the dragon. Adamaï quickly put his claw on her Mouth, Putting a finger to his Lips Shushing her.

"He's worse than when we left, He wont calm down. I'm gonna have to talk to Phearis about this, This is too much for him." Adamaï continued.

"You." He pointed at Amalia, "Me?.." She said confused. "Yes, Can you try to calm Him down?" He almost sounded Desperate.

Amalia Nodded, Walking behind Adamaï and putting her hand on the doorknob.

Adamaï Nodded, Walking out of the House, Flying off.

Amalia turned the Doorknob, Walking into the Room and closing the door quietly.

_____________________

Outside of his room, The group has still worried about Yugo.

"So what's wrong with Him?" Rubilax asked

"That's what I'm Asking myself, Rubi." Dally replied to Him.

*"He's Mentality and Physically Exhausted, It's Making him Overwhelm Himself, He thinks Oropo will come back for Us. And he thinks he needs to protect Us, I know He's a King but... This is Too much for him." Eva explained

"Ohh!" Elely and Flopin said in Sync.

"That's better than I could've explained it." Ruel shrugged.

________________________

As Amalia closed the door, She saw Yugo. He looked horrible; He had developed bags from Lack of sleep, He was extremely Skinny. Adamaï did say he wouldn't eat..

Amalia walked over to His bed, She made Slow movements Not wanting to spook the boy.

When yugo saw her, He looked desperate to see her. Her slow movements somehow made him let his guard down the Slightest bit.

Amalia sat on his bed, Moving her hand to his. Grabbing it gently.

Yugo looked up at her, Shaking as tears dripped down his face. His Hood-ears twitched.

"Yugo.." she spoke softly, "What's Scarring you..?" She confused to speak softly. Almost a whisper.

Yugo shook his head "E...e-everything Ami.." his voice was a gust in the wind.

Amalia opened her Arms, Knowing what he needed.

Yugo almost flew into her Arms, Shaking and Sobbing as he put his head into her neck.

Amalia hugged him tightly as she slowly rocked them both, Yugos Wings wrapped around Ami as he was I'm desperate need Of comfort.. And Amalia would so her best to help him.

END OF PART 1

This AU Tajes place after Season 3, Yugo is Extremely Traumatized and has some traits from Adamaï; Wings, Horns, Tail ect-

Instincts are heightened, Making it easier to find people--

Okay so in my AUs Yugo has always had the traits from his brother, Like let's say he was somewhat taller than in cannon like.. hes 5"3.. Yugo figured out he had a dragon tail in the end of S3. The Brotherhood knew about it, But yugo knew he had actually wings in his back. But he didnt want to reveal them yet. The only one who knows is Adamai, And he hasn't showed his Wings on his head. He's showed Adamaï but He just teases him about them, By teases I mean he takes off his hat when there alone. Yugo just loves his brother...

And yugos always had an instinct where he can sense Anyone behind him because his tail would be able to sense the vibrations. His tail isn't too long but it's long enough to where it touched The ground.

Khal'ian would be inclined to wear sleeveless GIs/shirts, depending on movement. Hates having loose items/fabric on his wrists and forearms.

He would actually really like ststirrup leggings and ankle banded pants. Would forgo shoes most times if he can get away with it.

I can see him in something similar to Freya's armor from GOW.

He'd hate wearing heavy/metal armor, and if forced into a set of armor. Hide/Leather would be the highest he'd go, without him worrying about losing speed.

Whatever, metals or decor that adorn the armor would come from other companions. Khal'ian would sew each one in carefully and polish them every day.

-githzerai anon

Clothes speak a lot about a character especially the clothes they themselves choose.

Khal'ian sincerity and openess shows in the simplicity and airy nature of his clothes, he isn't exactly dressed to impress, charm or intimidate, he is dressed for practicality and comfort.

Also speed, a lot of opponents would probably underestimate him on the first look.

I mean picture this, you're a bandit and ambused a group blindly. Who would you go for first?

Option A - the heavy armoured githyanki fighter with a greatsword twice your size

Option B - the scaley human with fire trailing from their fingertips, styled hair and fuck off amounts of jewellery.

Option C - the lean githzerai with fluffy hair in light clothes.

But he's too fast for them, he knews exactly where the weak points are in a body and doesn't need to relay on anything but his fists or a polearm for him to take them down before they can even finish their turn.

The shoes part is funny ngl, him and Sol are like on opposite spectrums, but somehow reached the same conclusion of impractical footwear that'd probably bite them in the ass at some point.

Khal'ian with no shoes and Sol with large heels, traversing a mudfield then an acid lake, I'd love a front seat to that.

THE BONNIE PARKER STORY (1958)

            The Bonnie Parker Story is a true-crime film directed by William Witney and starring Dorothy Provine as Bonnie Parker. The film is based on the life of Bonnie Parker, however, the film is only partially true. Even though Bonnie Parker was her real name, the film makers changed the name of Clyde Barrow to Guy Darrow (played by Jack Hogan). Quentin Tarantino considered William Witney to be a ‘lost master’, and said about the film, ‘I was blown away. It was like, whoa, who made this? I have to see everything he ever did.’

            Bonnie Parker is one half of Bonnie and Clyde, who travelled around America with their gang during the Great Depression. They were known for bank robberies as well as murders (they allegedly had murdered at least nine police officers and four members of the public). They became well known criminals during 1931-1934 and gained much media attention. They were ambused by police and shot to death in Bienville Parish, Louisiana in 1934.

Ok so PART THREE of Getting Nightbird into Earthspark

Here is Part One and Part Two....hehehehehe, should just really just write this a fic.

So, Twitch has gain a bit of sympathy towards Nightbird by now and attempts to try and get her to turn around and forget this whole thing. That maybe her mom and dad could help her out? That her family were great and would love to aid her and find somewhere to hide. That she could forgive the whole kidnapping thing.

Nightbird would be tempted a bit as she knows the humans do care for these smaller bots, but with Twitch bring up Optimus and Megatron would help her out as well, That brings back the memories and rage.

Optimus gave her back to her human captures in the first place.

Megatron was the one that left her behind to chase after Starscream. He never came back to help her.

Back into her revenge mindspace, Nightbird shook her head and kept on going to her stage.

Team Mo and Thrash join up with Dot and the others and relay everything that happen. Of course, the Malto siblings are a bit concern cause they came feel Twitch and she is feeling sad and worried a bit.

Dot tried to comforted her kids, and the two take to trying to the lead the three adults to where they are picking up Twitch while Bee goes back to the rest of the group.

Which might be a good thing as the others find Twitch a lot faster and see her just in a clearing, all tied up in the middle and gagged. Sure, the remaining Malto family want to rush up but Twitch spots them and tried to scream warnings which the Terrans and humans can pick up the panic. Even Alex can pick that up as this had to be some kind of trap.

Nightshade suggests that they can fly over and pick up Twitch which they do in their beast mode but only to be ambuse at once by Nightbird who pounce on them. It was easy for her to wrap them up in the same cable and get ready to fight the rest of the group.

and now fight scene. Trying to work it out in my mind as could see Hashtag trying to maybe hack into Nightbird cause Earth tech but feeling like failure cause she is so outdated.

So Hashtag and Jawbreaker trying to hold off Nightbird while Alex and Robby go and try to free Twitch and Nightshade but everyone can't handle Nightbird.

This is a robot made to be a ninja. No reason other than to show off human technology and progress. Mostly to show off how human tech was able to create a robot that could move quickly, fast reflex, etc. Basically a robot built by humans could move like one of those Autobots and Decepticons.

So, Nightbird takes them down, tied them up and puts them with Twitch.

Now, thinking Bee would show up a bit later and than a full on battle goes on cause Bee see his new family all in trouble and Nightbird needs to stop. So, Bumblebee goes full battle with her and they just exchange blow per blow.

As Bee seems to have gotten one over Nightbird, the other adults show up with Mo and Thrash. Bee surprise to see them and Nightbird uses it distraction again to retreat but grabs the closest one to use a shield.

Which does not go over well with anyone, but Nightbird is starting to panic and while she doesn't want to go down without a fight...

she realize...she doesn't want to die but she doesn't be capture and put to sleep again.

and need to do Part Four now....

Some thoughts on episode 14

Spoilers below

So Fried hadn't told anyone that he was ambused. The rest of the team might never find out but I don't think it is the case.

So either Friede tells them himself or Spinel mentions it.

They can go for the Friede didn't tell them because he forgot line but he was asked about what he was doing so it was probably on purpose. I think he didn't want to worry them. But look how worried they will be next ep when they will be searching for Liko.

He's probably going to connect the dots (hehe Dots) that him getting ambused and Liko losing her pedant and memory(?) are connected. So he will have to tell them. And it either could be brushed off as just a Fiede thing or it might cause some argument among the team. I personally prefer the second option because I love angst.

The anime was being focused on peoples emotions, relationships and how they grow so maybe we're getting a Friede arc where he learns to lean on the others more (he's been running off alone a lot honestly) and to share more of what's worring him (he's been trying to hide how worried he was about the kids both from the adults and the kids). It's probably just wistful thinking but that would be a nice arc. We alredy got Liko, Roy and Dot development so maybe it's time to give more focus to the adults. So far we were just getting to know them more and seen them become better caretakers for the kids. It would be nice to focus more of how the relationship between the original RVT changes.

It would be interesting to see how the team would act about being angry at one of them. I can't imagine them not being angry when Friede didn't tell them something so important. Like even if he thought that Spinel has gone to lick his wounds after losing so they are safe for now it would be good to know what Pokemon a potential opponent has.

On the other hand Spinel in his disguise looked amazing. I love how some people are alredy doing the 'they are enemies so let's ship them' thing. Honestly would enjoy reading it and seeing some fanart.

[ingoodjesst]

i find it so impressive that mappa committed to twelve different EDs for the chainsaw man anime, but even more impressive that they're all successfully rich in symbolism and character expression. they capture so much depth in the characters and their arcs. so when it comes to episode 11's ED, i find these three shots of denji especially interesting:

since i read the manga first, i'm actually curious if the anime adaptation so far has successfully conveyed to first-time watchers that chainsaw man is still a coming-of-age story. because i don't blame anyone who misses that! because we're only about a third in, and it took me personally a while to recognize those elements because of how unconventional denji is as a protagonist.

he seems slow to grow, if at all, in this first section of the story. there's certainly interesting aspects to him: his dark upbringing; his relationships with pochita and the various devil hunters; his questioning whether or not he still has a human heart. yet he seems otherwise to be a uniquely horny and brainless teen boy.

there's an argument to be made that denji is purposefully underdeveloped though, and what we know of him helps justify this. we know at minimum that denji grew up dirt poor, without a father figure, in hideous debt, with no education and no friends except pochita. it's no wonder he's emotionally and intellectually stunted; even if he doesn't clearly express it, there's no doubt that he has internalized traumas.

but because these things don't tend to bubble to the surface long for the audience, he can seem like a stationary character, singlemindedly motivated by boobs and sex. and while this is usually played for laughs, we get this sense that things happen to denji, rather than him initiating anything. he is trapped in debt by his father and the yakuza; he gets reincarnated because of a contract he made unintentionally by pochita; he is recruited into public safety by makima; he is attacked and betrayed by power; he is tempted by makima and himeno; he is ambused by katana man. the list goes on and on.

hell, even whenever he gets back up again as chainsaw man, it's not by his own choice - other people rev his engine or feed him blood. it's unlike a typical shounen protagonist, who have the energy of an unstoppable force even as they crash into an inmovable object, who decide to get back up over and over. instead, denji metaphysically cannot give up, and it's possible for other people to wield this control over him.

that's why these shots of denji standing still in the ED jump out at me - because that's his current status in the story. glass shatters above him unprompted, the camera telling his story flies around him.

in most other shots in the ED, everyone is walking or dancing or turning around... but denji himself is motionless.

it's this third shot of denji though, where the pattern finally starts to change, as denji reaches out and clasps something. finally taking an action of his own, making a decision of his own. as if to indicate that maybe one act at a time, denji is coming into himself.

Stone Cold

“ We’re almost there.” Kirishima spoke. “ Almost there, and then we could radio for help and get you warm.”

“ Uh-huh.” she whimpered quietly.

Kirishima had been dragging her for about 2 miles in what felt like 10 feet of snow, and was prepared to drag her 4 more if that meant getting her to safety.

They had a mission, and to say it went south was a understatement. They were ambused, and there was someone with a quirk who could make it snow, and Y/N’s quirk was not suited for the cold. She took some pretty bad blows and had a cut running down the outside of his leg,and was unable to walk on her own.

Both their comms went dead, the sudden snowstorm putting them in a dead zone. Kirishima had come out realitively unscathed and had managed to fight off all the villians, and the ones who didn’t fled the area, leaving the two of them stranded in the middle of a blizzard.

“ You gotta stay awake.” Kirishima said, shaking her slightly causing her eyes to flutter open. 

“ Sorry.” she slurred. “ M’ really sorry. I’m just tired.” That was the first sentence she had managed to string together in about  a mile.

“ I know.” he said. All they had to do, was get to the cell tower, then radio their location and Y/N would be alright. “ I know.”

Y/N’s body got heavier with with every single step, and as much as he hated to admit it to himself, she was getting harder to carry. But he was a hero, and today he had to be her hero. He spent years training to be a hero, and if he couldn’t even save the woman that saved his life countless times, then who was he besides some worthless kid, who had a stupid quirk.

Y/N thought he was anything but worthless, she actually thought he was kind of cute, in the great Dane type of way. He was loyal and protective, which was something Y/N admired. He was kind and sweet and brought her chocolate chop muffins when she was sad. He had the kind of laugh that made other people want to smile too, He was a great hero in every way that he could be a hero, and strived to be the best person, even though he was the best person that Y/N ever got to know and would ever get to know.

“ Did I do a good job?” she whispered.

“ You did a great job.” he whispered, trying to get a better grasp on Y/N.

“ I wanna be a hero.” she added. “ I wanna be a real good one.”

Y/N had wanted to be a hero, as long as she knew what the word hero meant. And she spent every single second trying to make sure she was the best damn good hero.

Eijiro thought she was the best hero, and he couldn’t tell if he admired her or loved her. Probably some sweet combonation of both. He could spend hours looking at her, because she was that damn pretty. It was like she stepped out of the most perfect picture. Her eyes were always so honest and told him everything that he needed to know. That she was sweet great and wonderful. And Kirishima wanted his share of sweet great and wonderful.

“ You’re a good hero.” Eijiro replied. “ A real good one.”

“ You think?” she said, finding the urge to llift up her head. Then she suddeny dropped it, like she had the wind knocked out of her.  “ I don’t feel good.” she whispered.

“ I know.” he said. “ I know. I’m real proud of you.”

He could feel her body stop shivering from the cold, that wasn’t good, her knees began to buckle and she suddnely became very aware of how much she weighed, and how tired she was.

“ Baby, don’t do that, just stay strong for a little longer.”

He just called her baby? A little frueudon slip.

His hands felt numb as her knees buckled and she collapsed in the embankment of snow beneath her, she was very tired, really really tired. Her eyelids felt heavy and droopy, and she was warm, which to her was a nice change of pace, and to him, was quite possibly his worse nightmare.

“ M’ not cold anymore.” she whispered. “ Is that a good thing?”

“ Yeah... yeah... it’s a real good thing.” he lied. She was going to die. She was going to die right here and now, and he was never going to get the chance to take her out on a proper date.

She was now laying on her back on the snow, and her lips were covered with a subtle blue hue. Her finertips felt like icecubes despite the fact that she was wearing gloves, she looked so damn happy it was irritating to him, because that smile was so cold it was distant.

“ Can I tell you something?” she managed. It was getting hard for her to breathe in this frigid air, but she didn’t even feel it.

“ Yeah, yeah anything.” he begged, hoping if he could get her talking long enough she could stay awake until help arrived. They had to be close by now, even if they didn’t it make it to the tower, someone had to find them. The question was, was it going to be before Y/N froze to death.

“ I think you’re handsome.” she muttered. “ And I want you to ask me out to dinner or something.” 

“ Thanks. I think your pretty.” he said,his eyes welling up with tears. “ You’re the prettiest girl, you know that?” he asked and she struggled to nod. “ And when you get home, there gonna make you feel all better, and then I can take you out on a proper date.” he added.

“ I’m gonna die, aren’t I?” Y/N asked sweetly.

“ I hope not.” he replied. “ They’re gonna come any minute now, and get you all warmed up.”

She took a especially long blink and took a very long, deep breath.

“ Ei.”

“ Yeah.”

“ I’m really tired.” she muttered.

“ I know baby, you just gotta stay awake, a little while longer.” he whispered, he forced himself to look up, pretending to look for the airplane, but it really was so the last thing she saw, wasn’t him crying.

He was  supposed to be her hero, and she was gonna freeze to death due to his own icomptence and inablity to be a good hero. She was gonna die, in the cold, and the last thing that she was going to see was the man who failed to save her crying because he was pathetic.

“ I’m really sorry.” she whispered. “ Sorry for never asking you out, and I’m sorry for dying, I really didn’t mean to.”

“NO...NO... YOU DON’T GET TO DO THAT, YOU DON’T GET TO DIE ON ME.” he yelled.

Her eyes were fluttering shut and her smile started to drop, he could feel her body, which she was holding close to her chest starting to grow weak. She was glad that the last thing she was gonna see was the man that she knew she loved.

“ Please, don’t die on me.” he begged. 

He laid down next to her agaist his better judgement. His chest was starting to ache and his head felt heavy. Against his better juudgemnt he let himself close his eyes, he just wanted one last minute to be with her before he had to leave her, she deserved that. He at the least deserved it.

He woke up four days later, to the steady but annoying beeping of a heart monitor. The light was nearly blinding, and the air around him felt warm. Holy hell the hair around him was warm, he was warm.

He forced his eyes open and tried to sit up quickly, but that was harder than he thought, because even thinking of moving sent shooting pains through his chest and into his stomach, his vison was blurred.

Something was touching his hair, and he didn’t like it. He wanted Y/N, he wanted to know if she was alive. He wanted Y/N to touch his hair, and he needed to get up and go find her. The blood was pumping in his ears so quickly that he couldn’t hear the sound of her soothing voice.

But the something touching his hair, wasn’t so much a something but a someone, he could feel soothing fingertips carding through his hair. He could recongnize that soothing touch anywhere.

He forced himself to blink a few times tp clear his vison and forced himself to breathe so he could hear something but the beeping, he turned his head to the side, and there she was in all her not dead not frozen glory, looking down at him with a wide smile and a few stray tears streaming down her face.

“ Ei! Thank god you’re okay!”

“ So how about that date huh?” he managed to whipsper through a strained voice.

“ How about it?”
