"Haha, Strawberry Crepe? Are you in here?"
"Hm? Pure Vanilla? Whad'ya want?"
"Ah, no particular reason, nothing inconspicuous, of course."
"Ah, right-- well, don't touch anything; have zero interest cleaning up other cookies' messes today."
"I'll do my best. What are you working on?"
"Someone actually came for me for some upgrades, its been so long I thought everyone had forgotten I could do that. So I want no distractions from that."
"Oho? Could I be curious on who wanted what?"
"Anything to help them sleep better and quicker, wanted to be out on the field as fast as possible-- capsule sounds easy peasy to me."
"Really? Its that easy with no negative side effects? Sleep is important you know."
"I don't assume this guy is particularly fussed about the negatives of sleeping for short amount of times. If no one fights you over it adjusting a cookies circuitry isn't that hard either, but it might make jellies taste weird."
"I think there might be some negative side effects that simply aren't being considered due to the character of the cookie, am I right?"
"He told me he wouldn't blame me for anything if he started feeling ill, not like he would anyways I'm not that careless with my contraptions, so for all I care anything could happen to him."
"If anything does make sure to tell me about it alright? I don't want any cookie suffering under my nose."
"Yeah, yeah, can't keep my workshop if I use it for evil. My memory works just fine."
"Speaking of no one in particular, how is it working with Espresso?"
"I didn't expect someone composed of his ingredients to respect the craft as much as he does, so he's fine. Spends most of his time working on the candies though so he's carved out his own space over there to work on it. As long as he doesn't randomly explode anything I don't have any issues with it, which fortunately he hasn't yet. It'd be nice if someone who spent so much time in my workshop cared about the wafflebots but it's not like he's causing any fights with them either."
"He can't read your mind you know, if you want him more involved you're going to have to communicate that."
"No, no-- Dragging someone who doesn't inherently care is no one to bother with, he stays over with his candies I stay over here with my stuff."
"As long as you're aware of that choice. Have you done that for him though; helped him at all with his candies?"
"Duh, he might be shockingly respectful despite his ingredients but he is characteristically frantic, he'll run around in a mad craze if anything takes longer than expected and I get put on babysitting duty whilst he grabs some solution from who knows where."
"Are you alright with that arrangement?"
"Its not that bad and it could be worse, if it means we get candies at all I guess it's a sacrifice worth making."
"Would you like an extra pair of hands to help out...?"
"Again? Unless you found some new cookie since the last time you brought that up--- ah, wait, right. I'm gonna have to think about that one, its quite the commitment."
"Take the time you need, I want to assure that it was just a passing thought, don't feel burdened to accept if you have any doubts."
"As always..."
"I think I should be returning to my duties, it was nice catching up with you though. Hope I didn't distract you too much."
"... It's not that hard to multitask when it comes to you, don't have to keep a close eye on you."
"The highest compliment one can get from you, haha. Have a good evening Crepe."
...
"I guess only one of you are actually leaving tonight."

"BEG FOR ME"
I wrote another fic with the Teacher/Student dynamic with Will cause I love him and this dynamic so much, so I really hope you like it!
WARNING : EXPLICIT SMUT UNDER THE CUT
Tumblr media Tumblr media
youtube
You knocked softly on your professor's office door twice, waiting for a response.
You needed to talk to him, and since that was the only time you could, you decided to stop by.
-Office hours are over -he answered from the other side- If you need anything, you'll have to come back tomorrow
You opened the door anyway, causing him to look up from his book to observe you for a moment.
-Oh, it's you -he murmured- I didn't remember that… you were going to… -he shook his head- Anyway, please sit down -he said, pointing to the chair in front of the desk- You're here because…-he paused to think for a moment- To talk about the final exam, right?
-Yes – you answered nodding your head-
-Sorry, this week has been very busy –he laughed- I'm not used to this pace, so I ask you to be patient with me
-Of course – you murmured sketching a friendly smile-
-Let me look for it –he said opening a couple of drawers before taking out a sheet written on both sides that you recognized as your final exam- here it is –he announced placing it facing you so that you could see- you have done very well, as always –he added- oh yes, this is what I wanted to talk to you about –he pointed to the final grade- you have a 100, and you have also done the exercise that gave you extra points, so the grade is more than a 100 –he explained- but the evaluation program that is in the computers does not let me put more than a 100 –he continued- so when you get the report it will say that you have a 100 but you should know that the grade is higher than that, it just does not let me put it in the system
You nodded, listening carefully to everything he was telling you.
-I don't know if you'll get less than a 100 on the next assignment you hand in - he continued - I doubt it, but if that were to happen, those points that I haven't been able to add to your score on this exam will be used to raise your grade on that assignment, okay?
-Of course - you nodded convinced -
-Great - he murmured - I knew you were smart, but I didn't expect that you couldn't even get this grade - he confessed - a couple of students even got up and left without taking the exam - he sketched a half smile as he remembered it - you should go celebrate it
-How? –you asked, he shrugged-
-I don't know, I guess you can have a few drinks, you know, things like that that teenagers do nowadays
-I don't like going out to party –you murmured shyly, he watched you delicately for a few moments-
-A quiet night at home is much better than that –he murmured- at least that was when I was in college –he laughed- but you know, you should tell your parents and your friends –he encouraged you- I'm sure they're very proud of you
-I'll send them a message with the news –you nodded- they don't live here
-Well, if there's something you've been wanting to buy for a while, I think today is the time to do it –he tilted his head- treat yourself, you deserve it –he murmured resting his gaze on the drawing on the shoulder of your sweater- Do you have any more questions or is there something I can help you with?
-Can I kiss you? -you said trying to meet his gaze with yours- God how embarrassing, I don't know why I said that, forget it…
-Don't be embarrassed, darling -he whispered observing the blush on your cheeks- I want you to kiss me -he confessed stealing your breath- come here -he whispered making a gesture with your head towards him-
Tumblr media
You stood in front of him, his eyes quickly lowered to your lips, and unable to hold it in any longer, you leaned in to kiss him.
His lips were soft against yours, his trimmed beard tickled your chin. He pulled away for a moment.
-Now tell me, and be honest with me -he ordered, you nodded firmly- How long have you been wanting to do that?
-Since the first day of school -you confessed, the heat on your cheeks increasing by the moment-
-Oh yeah? –he asked, smiling half-way- I remember the first time I saw you –he whispered, putting a lock of hair behind your ear, the tips of his fingers brushed the lobe, making you shudder- you always sat in the third row in the middle seat, always asking questions with your eyes shining with the desire to learn – you wanted to be the teacher's pet, right? My pet –he pointed out, tracing the curve of your cheek with his index finger- I like it when students work hard to please me –he whispered, his voice having dropped three octaves- besides, it's nice to meet a young student like you who understands my way of thinking –he murmured- many girls have come to my office, offering to do anything as long as I get their grades up –he confessed- of course I turned them all down –he said- I will keep my integrity intact for as long as I can –he held your chin between his index finger and thumb- this feels good –he whispered- as if you were finally going to get the reward you deserve for working so hard –he said- I'm sure you feel comfortable with the grade –he murmured- but you feel more comfortable here, with me, at this moment -he laughed as he noticed the shiver that ran through you when he leaned down to kiss you-
His lips covered yours, before moving down your neck and back up to your earlobe, biting it lightly.
-Look at me- he asked, and you did, meeting his gorgeous blue eyes- shit- he growled before continuing his assault on your neck- tell me- he sighed- is kissing the only thing on your mind? –he asked making you tremble in his arms- I don't think so –he answered himself, before leaving a kiss on your collarbone- tell me how many times… -he began, but when he saw that you reached out to touch him, he shook his head negatively- no, no, no –he scolded- hands behind your back, precious –his hand began to go up your bare leg, due to the dress you were wearing- don't worry –he whispered in your ear- let me take care of you
He felt how your whole body trembled due to the excitement you felt, which made him smile.
-Don't be nervous –he murmured in a reassuring manner- if I'm honest, I've been wanting to do this for the entire semester –he whispered stealing your breath- and, well after seeing the kind of outfits you wear to class you can't blame me for it –he laughed-
-I… don't… -You started, but he rested his index finger on your lips-
-Shhh, don't try to act innocent now- he whispered- you know perfectly well what you've been doing to me, casually walking towards me in the hallway, going to my desk when your classmates had already left, leaning forward to let me see your tight socks- he panted kissing you again, while patting his knee- sit down
He held you by the hips so that you sat on him so that both of you were comfortable. His lips rested on yours again in a more messy and eager kiss than the previous ones you had given each other.
-You like that, don't you? -he questioned- they are always the ones with an innocent appearance- he smiled kissing you again- now sit on the desk and show me that pussy- he ordered making you shudder from head to toe at the darkness that had covered his eyes-
A few minutes later his head was between your thighs, kissing the inner side of them while pulling on your clitoris between his teeth, drawing several sighs and gasps from you.
Tumblr media
-That's it, moan for me like the good girl you are- he whispered- Do you want to be my good girl?
-Yes- you gasped throwing your head back-
-I like it that way- he praised- come on, tell me what else you want me to do- he whispered- Do you want me to stick my fingers in your tight pussy so deep that I make you cum on them? Is that what you want? –you nodded unable to form a coherent sentence- then ask me politely, say “yes sir” –he ordered firmly- “please make me cum”
-Please sir, make me cum –you whimpered feeling yourself coming undone with each pass of his tongue over you- please
-You’re so wet already, baby –he whispered curling his tongue inside you, you held onto his hair tightly, tugging on his locks- that’s beautiful, pull on it, make me a mess
He easily pushed a couple of fingers inside you, making you let out a choppy gasp.
-When you get home and touch yourself tonight thinking about me, I want you to imagine that instead of your fingers it’s my cock that’s inside you –he ordered as he curled them inside you- I know you will –he laughed-
-I want to cum –you gasped- Will! –you squealed, moving your hips against his fingers-
-Then be a good fucking girl and beg for me
-Please make me cum Will! Please!
-Are you going to cum on my fingers, baby? –he panted looking at you, you nodded- do it, cum for me like a good girl –he said-
You felt a strong pressure in your lower belly.
-Come on baby, give it to me. I want it –he growled, you writhed against him- yes, that's it
You squealed and held onto his shoulders as you unloaded against him. You slowly caught your breath, while he watched you intently.
-If you ever want to celebrate one of your grades again –he smiled- my door is always open for you

Chapter 61 What if...?
what it says on the tin. its a what-if scene for chapter 61 of "from one wonderland to another" xD i wanted to do something for valentine's day so i figured i'd write this! ;3c
so...here we go!
What if Empoleon and Pyroar were recalled to their balls and Grim was sent to crash in Jack's room...?
--
“If I lose this bet with Azul-senpai, my Pokemon will be under his command, not mine.”
They wouldn’t be taken away from her, but they would no longer be hers. And that thought hurt very much.
Leona narrowed his eyes as he could see how that could’ve possibly triggered a flashback to that Pokemon Hunter. Normally, he wouldn’t have given it another thought. It was Yuu’s decision that put her Pokemon on the line. If she just kept her nose out of the whole sea anemone business she wouldn’t be in this mess.
But she was kind. And that was a weakness, especially in this school. Yuu was much too kind, so she would never leave injustice be if it was happening in front of her. Azul probably banked on the fact that she would try to help her friends. That kindness was her biggest weakness and he exploited it perfectly.
Still…
Her voice, gentle and warm, echoed in his mind.
“A king I can be…”
He sighed internally.
“And? You’re gonna let him win?”
Yuu whirled around, determination in her eyes. “Of course not!”
He smirked. Now that was a better look on her.
“Then why’re you just sulking in the moonlight when you’re already gonna do that?”
“Can’t people just reflect on their thoughts?”
Leona snorted. “Pfft. Looks like you’re just overthinking to me.”
He wrapped an arm around her waist, and tilted her chin up.
“Hya! L-Leona-senpai?!”
“Hurry up and stop ‘reflecting’ and get to bed. I’m missing precious sleeping time because of you. I told you what I’d do if you disturbed me, no?”
“Eh?!”
Yuu’s eyes widened as he started to lean in and she shut her eyes, feeling a blush return to her cheeks as she could feel his breath on her neck.
“W-Wait a minute! L-Leona-senpai...!"
Leona huffed, his eyes narrowing in on the unmarred skin of her neck.
"You want me to wait? Maybe you should've thought twice about 'reflecting' on your thoughts then. I warned you after all."
"S-Senpai, p-please–ah!"
Yuu's shot open and her hands clutched Leona's shirt tightly as she felt a sharp sensation on her neck. She tried to push him back, but the sensation had instantly robbed her of any strength she had, and it only grew stronger when Leona started to suck on her neck and lick it.
"A-Ah, n-nngh...Leo..na...sen–hya!"
Leona smirked against her skin, his ears twitching at the rather sweet sounds she was making and his tail coiling around her leg as he felt her trembling in his arms. He pulled away to see his bite mark already turning scarlet. He smirked at the sight, licking his lips.
"Hmmm? Don't tell me that you've never been bitten or gotten a hickey before, little herbivore."
His smirk only grew wider to see Yuu's pretty blue eyes had become teary, and the blush on her face a deep crimson.
"O-Of course n-not!" she managed to stutter out. "I haven't even had my first kiss yet!"
"Oh? Then shall I take that too?"
Leona ran his thumb across Yuu's lips, marveling at how soft they were. His amusement grew when she shakily pushed his hand away.
"Please don't tease me, senpai," she said shakily. "Why did you do this...?"
"I told you. If you disturb my sleep I'll bite you," he replied as if it were obvious.
"That doesn't mean you had to...t-to...!" Yuu slapped a hand over the hickey. She can't believe Leona had the gall to do this to her! She didn't even have anything she could use to cover it up, and no doubt people would be wondering who bit her.
"I need to ask Trey-senpai if there's any paint I can use to cover this up..."
Leona's eyebrow twitched at hearing another man's name. His arms tightened around Yuu's waist, causing her to squeak.
"Of course I had to mark you," he said with a dark chuckle. He leaned in close to Yuu, so close that their lips were just centimeters apart. "Rather than letting that octo-punk or some club suit card soldier have you..."
"I'll make you mine."

Someone asked for angst so here it is.
After learning who Emily is Carmilla is torn on the one hand she found she had another daughter and already loves her and wants to keep her but she knows she can't. 1 Emily wasn't born in hell and doesn't have the instincts she needs to stay safe as can be seen by how easy Clara and Odette caught her thank God it was them and not someone worse. 2 Sera needs here Carmilla knew Sera loved and feared for Emily and learned that Emily had only recently learned that Sera was her mother because Sera had told her growing up they were sisters to keep her safe and hadn't even let Emily call Sera mom. She would have thought that Emily going to hell would have caused Sera a lot of stress after getting more of the story she knew Sera had to be frantic. As much as she wants to keep her other daughter she loves Sera too much to take Emily from her. She already has two daughters that should be enough. Still she convinces herself letting Emily stay and night or two wouldn't hurt after all she can keep Emily here and safe and let her recover after her adventures in hell it would probably be the only time she'll see her third daughter so she should make it count. She plans to let Emily rest and recover that night and the next day tell Lucifer to let Sera know she found Emily and the girl is alright and maybe get one last day before she says goodbye for the first and likely last time.
For roughly 48 hours, Carmilla Carmine almost remembers what it's like to have Sera in her life again. Emily's resemblance to her other parent is uncanny. The way she laughs. The way she immediately warms up to her sisters, Clara and Odette. The way she asks so many questions, wanting to know everything about life in Hell, despite having witnessed so many of the horrors of this place just trying to find her way here.
Carmilla knows she should tell Lucifer of Emily's presence. And she does immediately...there is no doubt in her mind that Sera will probably be frantically searching for the girl, if she isn't already, and Carmilla isn't that cruel. She tells Lucifer that Emily is safe in her care, but goes against her better nature to make a very selfish request. One that she knows she shouldn't make. But as Carmilla is rarely selfish, she can't help but wish for it just this once.
"Tell Sera Emily is safe," Carmilla pleads with Lucifer over the phone. "But please...wait a few days before you tell her where she is. Tell her she's with you...or that she's resting. Something that will assuage her fears, but not have her rushing down here just yet."
"Why?" Lucifer asks, completely flummoxed. "Carmilla, she's at her wit's end with worry. I can't just not tell her! That's her daughter."
"She's my daughter, too! Please!" Carmilla begs. Very emotionally, which signals to Lucifer that she is serious. Carmilla rarely shows this side of herself to anyone, let alone Lucifer.
"Please, Lucifer, I just...I just need time with her. I don't know if I'll ever get this chance again. You know neither of them can stay down here long. Hell will warp and distort them. Like it did to our bodies. And I don't want to risk them coming down here more than once."
Lucifer goes silent on the other end of the line. He knows better than anyone the toll that Hell pays on a fallen angel's body over an extended period of time. A day or two isn't anything to fuss over. But after a week, their angelic essence will be sucked dry. After two, their bodies will start to transform, leaving them unrecognizable as Heaven's angels.
After a month, they'll never be able to go back. Those types of changes are permanent. Carmilla judges that a few days should be safe, at the absolute maximum. That's all the time she's willing to allow herself to spend with Emily. Any longer than that would risk her and Sera's immortal souls being trapped down here forever like her.
"If that's what you want..." Lucifer says, the hesitation in his voice indicating he does not like this idea one bit. "I understand where you're coming from. I do. And I will allow it. But 2 days is all you get, Carmilla. You'd better make it count."
Carmilla thanks Lucifer, and hangs up the phone. She will make it count. She will shove so much love and affection into the next 48 hours, it will be impossible for Emily to ignore how much she means to her. Carmilla vows to cherish the next 2 days always, and at the same time, steel herself for the inevitable end to their time together.
She understands that before all is said and done, she and Sera will undoubtedly come face-to-face one last time, and she needs to be ready for that moment. Needs to be strong for Emily, but also for herself. Carmilla Carmine has become an expert at not showing weakness. This situation, however...this will truly test her. It might even be what finally breaks her. But she will risk it. For a few moments of stolen happiness, and for them to ultimately be safe.

God bless you and your posts! I'm super=>happy there are still people like you who can freely talk about the retro eroge stuff without the need to deny all of it's mighty aspects someone is afraid about🙏
If you could give a top 5 games for those looking to get into the PC-98 genre, what titles would you include?👀
omg HIIII!! thank you for popping by (ノ��ヮ◕)ノ*:・゚✧ yay, this is a passionate hobby of mine and to look away from any of it-- the good, the bad, or the ugly-- would cause it to lose some dimension. Eroge is made by people and people are messy. (‾◡◝) So thank you for understanding that. Ahh, I feel like I'm not qualified somehow... I've played a lot on the pc98 as theres plenty of short (very stupid, very goofy) games, and I have a habit of skipping the greats in chase of random things that I think looks cool. I'll try to compose a list anyhow. Folks reading this, these are adult games with adult content, and a lot of it is "anything goes!!" Rarely do they surpass the wildness of modern day eroge (some are rather tame), but warning still stands!!
💎Toushin Toushi
Tumblr media
A classic Alicesoft game with an english patch. Play as a swordsman who enters a tournament... and then things fly off the rails in the last quarter. Its one of those top-down RPGs so if you're an ancient gamer you'll be right at home, but be sure to get the Happiness Bell for a boost of EXP or you'll be grindin' all day and night! It's a cute, quaint (until the end) game with a good sense of humor and a few surprisingly tender moments. It was one of the first pc98 games I'd ever played, and it helped me form my thoughts on the medium. At several points you are presented the choice to be an evil creep or respect other's consent and for being a creep you get punished by the game mechanics. Not enough to really make a huge difference but the fact that its even there gives you something to think about. In the end, it's a game about consent. The sequel game has reached legendary status and you can go ahead and play that one instead, but I still find some enjoyment with this old crusty thing.
💉Amy's Fantasies
Tumblr media
This is one of those OFFICIALLY english translated eroge with a pumped up to the max ridiculous Himeya Soft scripts that you can play RIGHT NOW USING THE INTERNET LETS FREAKING GOOOO!!! It's so. It's. Well. Dare I say it's the most pc98 pc98 game to ever pc98 on the pc98? Nonsensical balls-to-wall stupidity, outrageous ero, is that guy her brother, her step brother, her half brother, a clone, what is he, the characters don't even know. There's a chapter where they go to the Ass Hospital for Butts. There's a bajillion ashita no joe references for some reason. The suspicious looking mansion burns down, because "all suspicious looking mansions burn down". It's one of those "anything goes" type beats, so please keep that in mind. But when I think of the pc98, this is the first thing I think of.
🌼Doukyuusei 2
Tumblr media
The first entry (which has an en tl of the amazing remake) is already one of my favorite games ever. But this? It somehow surpassed it. The story goes deeper, the characters hit harder, and the art is MWAH! Because the focus is more on the pure(-ish) romance this time around, there's less of a scummy perv feel than the first game (I need to make clear the scummy perv feel was why the first game was good, btw. It's 90's schlock at it's finest. The protag has ruined all other pc98 schlock protags forever, woe is me, he's just too amazing). This is one of those "must play" games even if you're not into eroge. The exploration system and relationship mechanics are what set the stage for future dating sims like Sakura Taisen, Tokimeki Memorial, and countless others. Ah, it's just too good. Youko is my wife. If you wait a little while longer, I'm sure the remake will be getting an english translation as well.
⚔ AmbivalenZ
Tumblr media
I admit I haven't finished this one yet at the time of writing this, but I doubt there is anything that will sway my opinion of it now. It's PEAK CHUUNIGE, HYPER VIOLENT PURE LOVE DEMONIC REINCARNATION ACTION. Play as a badass immortal knight whose true love's soul was shattered centuries ago on a quest to fight a sexy demon lady with a blood sword. There's an ensemble cast of bold, lovable characters and a compelling story to boot, just talking about it makes me excited! After playing Diabolique and falling down the rabbit hole I have come to be a bit of a Tori fanboy. She's very good at hurt and comfort. The exploration system is the slightly frustrating oldskool Alicesoft affair but it's not enough to ruin the experience. I would recommend this edgy, bloody, quirky yet pure hearted story to just about anyone.
🌔Kurayami
Tumblr media
This is a very short game about getting trapped in an elevator on Christmas Eve with one of three different girls, all named Mari and all written different ways. The game is meant to be replayed several times over with your choices drastically changing the scenario. The story can be a relaxed romance, a sentimental tragedy, or it can even get a little spooky. It's a game that's creative with the resources it has. The song, 17 year old Farewell, is probably one of my favorites on the whole system. There is supposedly and english translation in the works but it's been in limbo for a long time now.
~~~ Aaaaand that about does it, I think. Again, i feel like I'm not a good source for this thing but these are the games that I would pick. I hope you find something you like. I feel like a playthrough of Amy's fantasies with some beer and very open-minded friends would be a fun way to spend a night. ☆⌒(*^-゜)v

Pokémon Reborn Screenshot Let's Play: Chapter 41
Tumblr media
Wow, my writing muse has just not been with me this past week. I can't even fully blame it on work, I think it's more to do with other stuff happening in my life the last few days (nothing super tragic or anything, but rather stressful all the same) that's sapped away at my motivation. I wanted to finish the writing phase of this in two or three days- and it's taken me almost five. Sure, I'm assuming no one minds a longer wait for updates as long as the updates actually happen, but I don't like being late on new chapters! 
Not that there's much I can do about that- a schedule’s a schedule, not much I can do to change it, even if I really wanted to. But I've still persisted, and so…here we are!
So what is happening in this game now? How's the story progressed thus far in this second third? I'll tell you one thing, the bad guys and the plot as a whole have not wasted any time causing chaos in the life of our local protagonist- and I'll explain how right now!
Xera returns to the Belrose Manse to deliver the Herbal Extract to Anna. Despite the girl pouring it all over Nostra the doll instead of taking it herself, Anna appears to make a rapid recovery anyways.
Anna claims that Xera is going to need all the Reborn League Badges very soon, and to that end she urges Noel and Charlotte to battle her, being Gym Leaders themselves. Charlotte is still a bit too strong for Xera’s current skill level, but Noel (reluctantly) agrees to battle Xera.
To prepare to battle Noel, Xera returns to a certain area in Rhodochrine Jungle. On the way, she encounters Victoria in Beryl Cemetery, paying respects at Kiki’s recently-made grave. She tells Xera about how she was closer to Kiki than her actual mother, and how Kiki in her will left everything to her and her alone- apparently, she had no other family or loved ones, which Victoria was unaware of due to never asking her. Victoria laments how she missed out on her and Kiki being family rather than just student and teacher, then leaves without another word.
Xera returns to the totem pole in Rhodochrine Jungle, where she encounters and catches Bastion the Golett.
Xera returns to the Belrose Manse; with everyone gathered in the front garden and Charlotte acting as referee, the time for the Gym challenge against Noel seems ready to get underway. However, just as Charlotte as readying the battle to begin, she spots someone approaching from the distance…
A woman flies in on a Dragonite- the eldest Belrose sister, Saphira. She greets everyone and learns from Charlotte about the Orphanage escape, and responds with dire news: Dr. Connal and Team Meteor are on their way to the mansion as they speak, no doubt intent on recapturing the kids yet again,
With Team Meteor traveling across the lake and Connal on the land, Saphira plans to attack the former group while Xera and Laura protect the kids inside the mansion- as the only two other legal adults, they would not get into as much trouble as one of the kids might if they fought (like Charlotte). With the plan set, Saphira and Dragonite fly off into battle as the rest of the group rushes inside.
The group decides it would be best to split up hiding places- Anna and Noel hiding upstairs and Laura- who is revealed to be an Elite Four member- on guard, with Shelly and Charlotte hiding in the kitchen downstairs and Xera on guard.
As the group disperses, Connal arrives with several of his orderlies. True to his word back at Yureyu HQ, he is not going to grant Xera any further mercy, and engages her in a battle. Despite Xera having little time to prepare, she manages to defeat him yet again.
Just as Connal is defeated, a haggard Sirius enters the mansion, informing Connal that Saphira attacked him and his soldiers on the lake, likely killing several (or all) of them. He’s also furious at Xera for her and Cain blowing up his office, wanting to take revenge on Cain in particular. As Connal explains his own situation, Sirius remarks on Xera now being outnumbered…
Sirius plans to search the upstairs area, while Connal will search downstairs- and Xera cannot stop them both, so she is forced to choose. She decides to stick with the plan and stay downstairs to continue holding off Connal, and so Sirius goes upstairs. 
Saphira reappears just as Sirius leaves, and wastes little time confronting Connal about the torture he put her and her sisters through at the Orphanage. In the name of taking revenge, she brings out her Dragonite once more and orders it to use Hyper Beam, sending Connal flying out of the mansion. 
Saphira’s victory is short-lived, however. Sirius, freshly defeated by Laura of the Elite Four, returns downstairs and ambushes Saphira with his Seviper, knocking her out with Poison Jab and taking her with as he escapes.
Laura and Charlotte are the first to emerge after the raid, Charlotte explaining that they’re not just going to leave Saphira in Team Meteor’s hands…even though she’s more than capable of breaking out on her own. Laura agrees, but due to Charlotte being among Team Meteor’s intended targets to begin with, Laura does not allow her to go with, instead opting to head in herself with Xera’s assistance.
Laura explains that Team Meteor was responsible for putting up the strange metal structures in Tanzan Mountain, and thus they must have a base there. With that, the two set out for the mountain on their rescue mission.
So yeah- we're not getting a new Gym Badge that quickly, we're instead having to deal with Team Meteor yet again after all, which I really should have expected but alas!  So it's another rescue mission, not unlike Yureyu HQ- though, to be frank, Saphira seems so powerful she probably doesn't need any help, but it's probably still a good idea to go in and assist anyways, if only to make sure she doesn't pop a vein from Laura going in alone. Besides- no doubt, this'll lead to some answers about the mysteries of Spinel Town, the teleportation, and the earthquakes…all of which I'm still blaming on Team Meteor! And I will continue to blame them until I'm proven wrong! And the only way to see if I'm wrong or not is to go into that mountain, so let's go!

SPOILER WARNING: Spoiler-heavy, block #divided sims 4 story spoilers if you do not want to be spoiled.
Two weeks later
Oskar
When I'd finished dealing with Annorin, the rush of emotions was immense...the most intense I'd felt for many years- but it's mostly all I remember in any detail. The rest was a blur of candlelight and shadows and his fearful eyes, and the burning achiness and exhaustion once I'd returned to human form.
I'd felt a phantom pain in my back, as if I had wings...then I remembered what happened to the vampiric form when one overindulged on blood. I'd wondered in both fascination and horror what had changed about it.
I barely remember what I did to him. Once I was done with him, I took off out of the window in the form of a bat, and went straight to Violeta. I told her that he was injured, and about what I'd done.
I told her I felt my vampiric form had changed, but I'll wait until the shock is over before I bother to show her. Her reaction to the news was positive, but not quite as joyous as I'd expected.
Tumblr media
The two of us take a walk in rural Henford, somewhat close to the Peteran monastery.
"I expected you to be more cheery," she says, in a dry tone. "Annorin is horrifically injured, he's been outed for who he truly is...and it's your one-hundred-and-sixthieth birthday tomorrow."
I did, also.
Tumblr media
"I haven't told Eli yet. I don't know what reaction to expect out of him."
Part of me is horrified that he'll hate me and walk away from me...but then again, isn't it his choice? As much as I don't want him to walk away from me, I can't force him to stay. If he hates me, he hates me.
"If you ask me, Oskar...I think you should have just killed Annorin. Goodness knows why Katlego wanted to spare him after all he'd done. He didn't deserve to live."
Tumblr media
"I know he didn't- but I made her a promise that I didn't want to break."
"And if he comes back for Eli..."
"He won't. If he can move at all after what I'd done to him, I'd be surprised."
Tumblr media
"If the boy knows what's good for him, he won't walk away from you, Oskar," she replies. "Have you heard anything from Owen?"
"Not as of yet."
Tumblr media
Violeta lets out something close to a sigh. 
"Oskar...I can't help but feel like leaving him alive will cause more problems."
"You're saying you doubt my decision?"
 "...Yes."
Violeta? The woman who raised me from death? Violeta has never doubted a decision of mine...never in my entire life. Every time I feel as if I no longer feel anything, someone says something that drives nails into my chest.
Tumblr media
"Annorin will continue to do irreparable damage to the community as long as he's alive, even if he can't lift a finger. Even when their reputation is torn to pieces, powerful men never lose their power."
"They don't lose their power after they're dead, either," I reply. "Besides, If I'd have killed him, there'd be no accountability taken for what he's done. Ruining his life seemed more of a punishment than ending it."
"Yes, but the dead can't hurt anyone, Oskar...well, not the fully dead, anyway..." Violeta's laugh is enough to turn my spine to ice. She's trying to make a joke to soften the blow. Now isn't the time for comedy. "Who knows what he'll do now?"
I start to lose my temper. "I made a promise to Katlego that I wouldn't kill him! It was the only way I could get her assistance; she wouldn't have me be a part of it all otherwise. I'm not going to break a promise to someone who's gone out of their way to help me. Annorin won't come back for Eli, and there's not much he can do now everyone knows what he's like. Besides, now his eldest son is back, perhaps things will be different."
"And you trust him?"
"I believe I owe him a chance. After all, the young are nothing like their parents these days. I believe what happened between Samuel and Eli made him come around and realise what his father was like."
I'm not sure I trust or appreciate the neutrality of her expression.

lip Gallagher x girlfriend OC (Delilah) summary: in which lip and delilah give fiona a break and have the kids to themselves  or in which debbie and delilah get some 'sister' time
■□■□■□■━■━■□■□■□■
warnings: n/a word count: 3.2k
■□■□■□■━■━■□■□■□■
"Ok, Bottles are in the cupboard, formula and milk are in the fridge, but Lip knows all that," Fiona informs Lip's girlfriend, showing her where everything is as if she hadn't been dating Lip and coming over to the house for 7 months now. 
Today Fiona was stepping out of her comfort zone by spending the night away with her boyfriend, Jimmy/Steve. Jimmy/Steve had somehow managed to book a room at The Langham Hotel, meaning that Lip was now in charge of babysitting his younger siblings, minus Ian as he was having a sleepover with 'Mandy'. She had done it once before Lip and Delilah were dating, but that ended in Frank having to fake his death. So Fiona had managed to convince herself that everything would go to shit if she left for another night. It took a lot of convincing from all the kids, Kev, V and Jimmy/Steve to convince Fiona to go, let alone leave them with Liam alone. So she compromised, she would leave Lip in charge, if, his girlfriend Delilah helped out, because in her words "She will actually keep some order in this house." 
"Lay off my girlfriend Fi," Lip sighs trekking down the stairs to the kitchen, having already gone through the same lecture, twice, hours earlier, "It's not like she's not been here a million times, besides she's better with Liam than any of us."
Fiona sighed and placed the bottle she had picked up back in the cupboard before rubbing her forehead, "I know, I know it's just last time everything went down with Frank and-"
"-and that's different to any other day how?" Lip asks, standing next to his girlfriend, placing his arm around her shoulders, Delilah nudging him slightly giving a look that tells him to listen to his older sister. 
"Just, don't let the house burn down, don't let Frank in but I doubt he'll show up, uh what else, oh you two," She suddenly snapped pointing a finger between the two of them causing them to raise their eyebrows in surprise, not expecting the sudden change in attitude. 
"The moment I exit the house you two are "working", you're not hanging out, not on a date, your focus is on the kids, so no funny business." 
Lip opens his mouth to say something but is interrupted by Fiona pointing at him once again, "Including after they fall asleep," she snaps, Lip's mouth promptly shutting. 
"Don't worry Fiona, I'll keep everything together." Delilah smiled at her, causing the older girl to give her a grateful smile. 
"Yeah besides we're going to have a fun time, won't we buddy?" Lip asks picking up Liam from his place on the sofa, making funny faces at him, "Oh and you mean we'll keep everything together?" Lip asked, looking at Delilah expectantly.
"I meant what I said," Delilah teased, leaving no room for Lip to argue as Jimmy/Steve enters through the front door and makes his way to the trio.
"Hey ready to go?" He asks Fiona, wrapping an arm around her waist.
"I just-"
"She's ready," Both Lip and Delilah answer at the same time, knowing that Fiona was just going to try and stall for longer. 
"Great, let's go," Jimmy/Steve smiles at her, slowly guiding her out of the house as she continued to call out orders to the two teenagers. 
"Lip, don't do anything Delilah wouldn't do! If I come back and everything has gone to shit I swear I will-" She didn't get to finish her threat however as the sound of the door shutting cut her off.  
Lip and Delilah looked at each other for a few seconds, waiting to see who would suggest what to do first, this was new to the two of them, normally, when they hung out together, there was a goal or purpose; just being in each others company, Homework, Sex. Sure they had a purpose, babysitting, but what are you supposed to do when none of the children need anything? 
"Movie?" 
"Sure," 
The two of them swiftly make their way over to the living room, Delilah grabbing a blanket and sitting on the couch, settling Liam next to her, Lip flipping through the selection of DVDs the Gallaghers owned. The Gallaghers had a few really good selections of films, the only issue was Delilah and Lip could never agree on what to watch. 
"Uh we got, insidious, Top Gun, IT-"
"You're just picking the ones you want to watch!" 
"Ok, you pick something out then,"
"Mean Girls" She answers picking up the movie with no hesitation and starting to open it before Lip snatched it out of her hands. 
"No way that movie's shit!"
"Oh yeah, how do you know that? Seen it before?" 
"Beyond the point! Look I just don't see what's so entertaining about watching dumb teenagers talk about how big their hair is," Lip argued back, smirking at her slightly. 
"Yeah well if we watched a horror film there's the risk of the kids coming down and traumatising themselves! Not to mention Liam is right here!" Delilah argues back, not wanting to risk the wrath of Fiona the following morning if she finds out that Debbie and Carl are all of a sudden too scared to fall asleep. 
"Ok fine, you pick, anything but mean girls," Lip groans, taking a seat back on the couch, swiftly joined by Delilah.
"Tangled,"
"That's a kids film,"
"Harry Potter!"
"I've watched that series with you three times now!"
"Angus, thongs and perfect snogging!"
"Take out Angus and that's my kind of night,"
"Bullet Train!"
"And listen to you drool over Aaron Taylor Johnson for two and a half hours again, no thanks,"
"Why don't we watch the next episode of blue planet? Everyone likes that!" 
"Yeah I guess, let's just watch that," Lip sighed, turning on the most recent episode of blue plant the family had recorded. The Gallaghers, Kev and Veronica, Jimmy/Steve and Delilah often watched different shows together, having episodes upon episodes of the different shows they watched recorded, however, it wasn't uncommon for Delilah and Lip to be an episode ahead of the rest, often watching the next episode in secret when no one's around. 
Lip and Delilah settled down next to each other, huddling up for warmth, Liam's head resting across Delilah's lap, as David Attenborough's calming voice introduced them to the wonders of the world's oceans. 
They watched in silence as a fish miraculously jumped out of the water and grabbed a bird midflight when from nowhere Debbie and Carl appeared in front of the TV.
"What the hell get out of the way, it was getting good!" Lip called out in frustration, pausing the show the couple was undoubtedly fascinated by. 
"We're bored," Debbie says matter-of-factly, placing her hands on her hips. 
"So? Entertain yourselves," Lip says, leaning back convinced that that simple sentence solved all their problems.
"You're the babysitters, you're supposed to entertain us," Carl argues back.
"Well, what do you guys want to do?" Delilah asks, sitting up so she could see them properly past Lip. 
"I want some girl time with Delilah," Debbie says smiling smugly at Lip, knowing she would be ruining the alone time he hoped to have with his girlfriend. 
"Ok, I'll go with Debbie, and you entertain Carl and Liam," Delilah announces standing from the couch, patting Lip's shoulder, and making her way towards the stairs with Debbie swiftly following her. 
"Wait, what!?" Lip exclaims, turning towards her, holding his arms out slightly, shocked by how willing Delilah was to listen to the demands of some 12 and 10-year-olds.
"We're here to babysit Lip, this is part of the job," Delilah shrugged before walking up the stairs, Debbie in tow, and walking to the room the younger girl shared with Liam. 
"So, what do you want to do Debs?" Delilah asked, sitting on the girl's bed, noticing how hard the mattress was. 
"I don't know, girl stuff and girl talk,"
"Girl stuff and girl talk?" Delilah smiles amused by the younger girl.
"Yeah, Fiona's busy and so I try not to bother her with girly talks, besides Fiona is a lot...rougher than you, and you're closer to my age! And you're not a Gallagher, I think it would be good to get an outside opinion," Debbie declares.
Delilah chuckled at the young girl, "Ok where do you want to start?"
Delilah watched as the younger girl made her way over to one of her shelves picked out a CD and swiftly put it into a pink CD player, which Delilah and Lip had gotten her for her birthday, the sound of Madonna's; Like a Virgin coming from it, causing Delilah to smile a little as she had been the one to introduce Debbie to 80s music.
"Hmm, wait here," Debbie swiftly made her way out and into the hall, leaving the older girl alone, Delilah let out a long breath as she waited, pulling a confused face as she heard the sounds of drawers opening and slamming shut. 
Before she could call out to Debbie, the redhead strutted back into the room with a small vial and a little bag in her hand. 
"Nails and makeup," Debbie said, putting a vial of baby pink nail varnish and Fiona's make-up bag on her bed.
"Debs," Delilah sighed, "This is Fiona's stuff we really shouldn't do this,"
"I'll take it all off before we go to bed! And Fiona will probably assume the nail varnish is yours 'cause you wear this colour all the time," Debbie reasons. Delilah puts her head down, noticing that she was, in fact, wearing the same baby pink nail varnish at that moment. 
"Ok, ok, let's start with the nail varnish then," Delilah smilies, picking up the vial and shaking it, before taking Debbie's left hand and starting to paint her nails, the two girls sat in silence for a few moments. 
"Do boys ever stop being gross and annoying?" Debbie asks out of nowhere, as Delilah finished off her left hand, painting the pinky finger and taking the other hand.
Delilah laughs and shakes her head, "Nope, never will, but you come to realise that girls are just as annoying as boys just in different ways, so one day, you'll find a boy or girl who's annoying compliments your annoying. Can't do much about the grossness though."
"Ugh, can't boys just be...better?"
"You come to realise as you get older Debbie, not everyone is perfect, you learn to tolerate the bad things, and love the good things, but if the bad things really bother you, then, if that person can't change it, they're not right for you."
"How do you know someone's right? How did you know my brother was the right one for you?" 
Delilah thought for a moment holding two different shades of blush towards Debbie's face, deciding the lighter of the two was more her colour, before beginning to apply some and answering the younger girl's question, "When he blocked Karen's number,"
"I never really liked Karen."
"You wouldn't be the only one,"
"Why did that do it?"
"At that point, we had been dating for around three months, and although he had been nothing but amazing, because of his past with Karen and Mandy, I had my doubts, and I'll admit, I was prepared for something to go wrong," Delilah admits. "I remember Mandy breaking up with Lip cause he was still in love with Karen, so throughout the first three months I was just looking for signs he still loved her because I just felt immensely insecure about my place in the relationship-"
"Wait what?! You? Insecure?"
"Oh yeah! I was so insecure, still am sometimes, I thought I was a huge downgrade, I wasn't as exciting as Mandy or Karen in...ways that you don't need to know. And so I thought he would get bored pretty quick and go back to Karen. And then one day while we were hanging out, his phone started ringing and it was Karen, and I was so prepared for him to drop everything and go running to her, I guess that showed on my face because, Lip looked at me, declined the call and deleted her number, nothing else had to be said, he told me everything I needed to know through his actions. It doesn't sound like much but, I know how much he cared for her so, it meant a lot to me, " Delilah retold, smiling thoughtfully. 
"I hope my future relationship is like yours and Lips,"
"Thanks, Debs," Delilah smiled, moving on to apply a light shade of red lipstick to Debbies's lips. 
"How did you and Lip even meet? I just remember you slowly spending more and more time here and I never really questioned it." Debbie asked, trying not to move her mouth too much.
"To be honest, I don't really know how it happened either, we sat next to each other in English for Sophmore and Junior year, but never spoke unless it was work-related, we only started talking as friends when Mandy and I got close, I'll be honest, we were so different we didn't like each other, but the more time we spent together, the closer friends we became and, I don't know, here we are." Delilah reminisced, brushing Debbies's hair and putting them into two neat plaits, which is how Debbie liked to wear her hair at night. 
"What's going to happen when you guys go off to college? You're not going to the same one," 
"Well, we'll cross that bridge when we reach it, listen Debs if you have one foot in the future and one in the past, it means you're pissing on today," 
"What?"
"Basically don't worry about what's to come and what's going to happen, live in the moment Debs you'll be happier that way, and right now, what you have to do is get to bed, it's 9:30." 
"What no!" Debbie complained.
"Sorry Debs, Fionas orders, now, go take a look in the bathroom mirror, brush your teeth, get the make-up off, and get ready for bed, I'll put away Fiona's stuff," Delilah says, packing away the makeup as Debbie agrees, trudging out of the room, saying a quick thank you on her way out.
"Tell you what," Delilah says, "Next Saturday, you and I head off to the mall together, go to all your favourite shops, and we can play mine and Mandy's favourite game, we pick a clothes store and pick out clothes for the other person without showing them and we have to try them on." 
"Really?!"
"Really!" 
"Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!" Debbie repeats, hugging the older girl before running back out of the room to get ready for bed. 
Delilah chuckled at the younger girl's actions, turning off the CD player, before grabbing all of Fiona's stuff and bringing it into Fiona's room, managing to step on one of Liam's squeaky toys, which she was positive was actually a dog toy, on her way. 
As she exited Fiona's room, she was greeted by a very unimpressed, dishevelled-looking Lip, his hair was all over the place, parts  of his white tank top were ripped, and he had an already sleeping Liam on his hip, "What happened to you?" Delilah tried not to laugh. 
"Turns out Carl's idea of fun is hunting me down with his Nerf gun, and when I asked how I'm supposed to defend myself, the little shit laughed at me - Don't you start!" He accuses her, noticing her face contorting slightly as she attempts to hide her laughter. 
"Sorry, just didn't think you'd get the shit beat out of you by a 10-year-old," Delilah teases, taking Liam from Lip, pushing past him and going back into Debbie's room. Lip rolled his eyes rather and went in the opposite direction to his own room to make sure Carl went to bed.
Delilah gently put Liam in his crib, before turning and watching as Debbie tucked herself into bed, "Goodnight Debs," She said, turning the light off as she made her way out of the room. 
"Goodnight," She hears in reply as she shuts the door, Lip shuts the door to his room at the same time, walking over to join her. 
He was about to open his mouth to say something, but Delilah raise her hand, noticing the bottom of Debbie's door was illuminating a small pool of light.
"Debbie no reading under the covers, you know the rules," She calls out, the light immediately vanishes as Debbie turns her torch off, listening to the older girl. Delilah smiles smugly at Lip, causing him to roll his eyes at her, but he didn't try to hide the smile on his face. 
"You're good with them,"
"I know. So tell me," Delilah starts, heading down the nearest staircase to make her way back to the living room, being followed by her boyfriend, "How did you allow yourself to get chased around by a child?"
"Ok I did not 'allow myself' I was taken by surprise, I watch you go after Debs and when I turned back around the little shit was pointing the fucking thing in my face, so I did what most people would do if they had a gun pointed at them, I ran!" 
"And what was Liam doing during all this?" Delilah asked as she sat back in her original spot on the sofa, Lip sitting a few moments after her, putting his arm around her.
"Little fucker just sat and laughed the whole time." Lip grumbled, looking back at his girlfriend, whose mouth was twitching slightly, "Don't even," 
"I'm not saying anything!" 
"Yeah well, how you feel about that is written all over your face, you're an open book love," Lip states, reaching forwards slightly to grab the remote to the TV, unpausing the show to continue where they left off. 
"Am not!" 
"Whatever you say, babe, whatever you say," 
Delilah rolled her eyes at her boyfriend before snuggling up to him so that they were both more comfortable. As the night drew on the teenager's eyes slowly drooped as they both fell asleep in each other's arms, which their backs would hate them for tomorrow, as the lumpiness of the sofa would for sure cause them some aches, not that they cared right now though, they were far to content and tired to care about that. 
After a relaxing night, even though some lingering worry stayed in the back of her mind, Fiona returned home in the early hours of the next morning to find the house not in complete chaos, but instead, the two teenagers still snuggled up close to one another, the TV now playing some random news channel in the background. 
The sight of the two teenagers made the older sister smile, it was rare to see the two of them so relaxed, considering they were often stressed with either work, school or job-wise, chores or general teenage stress. This was the most relaxed she had seen the two of them in a while, which surprised her, as she thought the kids would have made them reconsider all of their life choices by now. 
"You did good guys," she whispered, as she slipped one envelope into Lip's favourite hoodie, which was hanging off the side of the couch, and one into Delilah's jacket, which was hanging up on the coat hanger, each one containing $25 for their efforts. 
They deserve it.

I love yelan and shinobu im a simp already. I’ll ask for how they are when they have a crush on reader and how they would confess.
How they confess to you
characters: Yelan / Kuki Shinobu x gn!reader (seperate)
warnings: none, just fluff
a/n: There aren't too many things known about Shinobu's personality yet, so I'm sure once she actually releases we will be able to look back to this fic and say "kinda ooc, ngl", but until then I'll have to use my gut feeling.
This is, of course, my first time writing for either of these two characters, so I'm sorry if I'm making a few mistakes when it comes to their personalities, but I think it should be fine
Also, this is kinda long, at least for my standarts
Anyway, hope you enjoy!
Tumblr media
Yelan
Yelan knew about you long before you had even met her, she had to make sure that the new hire at the Liyue Qixing didn’t have any ill intentions after all, but once the two of you finally met, you instantly got along with each other, her relaxed and easy going attitude a welcome change from the stress inducing one’s your bosses seemed to have around them all the time. While your friendly and open attitude, that made even strangers reveal small secrets to you from time to time, being too busy enjoying their drinks to care, coupled with your willingness to tell Yelan about them if asked, made hanging out with you both a nice way to procrastinate while getting enough information to technically be considered part of her job.
Even after the two of you had become, what you would consider, good friends, there were still a lot of things you knew she wouldn’t tell you about, most of them about her job. You had asked once about why exactly she needed information about a citizen of Liyue, assuming of course that her job required her to do so, she made it very clear that, since it was part of her job, she wouldn’t tell you. You completely understood, never asking about such things again, while simply enjoying spending time with her. But there were things you knew about her that most others, who even knew about the existence of a woman called “Yelan”, wouldn’t even dream about knowing.
You had finally managed to get a few days off, deciding that it would be a great opportunity to visit Yelan, and while her house laid well outside of the city, you eventually arrived in front of her door, knocking on it, only to have to wait much longer than you expected before it finally opened, revealing your friend giving you her usual smile.
“Well, what a surprising visit you decided to pay me”, she greeted you, the thought of how you had managed to surprise the usually so informed Yelan, making you smile, only for you to remember what an unhealthy sleep schedule she seemed to have whenever she didn’t necessarily have work to do.
“Did I awaken you from your sleep?”, you asked teasingly, only for her to shoot back immediately in a similar playful matter.
“That’s confidential, I could tell you, but sadly wouldn’t be allowed to keep you alive afterwards”, after shooting you another smile, she finally let you inside, and it wasn’t long before the two of you started playing a game of dice against each other. “I could use this chance to win a few Mora from you, but how about we spice it up a bit? The winner gets to ask the looser anything”, she offered, causing you to give her a look of suspicion. When she said “anything”, did she truly mean it? Probably not really, since you doubted that she would tell you anything about her work even if you won, not that you wanted to know anyway. But you decided not to voice your doubts, instead giving her a nod.
Well, it wasn’t like you even had to think about what to ask her, since no matter how much luck you seemed to have, Yelan would always top you, and while her questions started out standard, asking you about things like work, they grew more and more personal with each question.
“What’s your taste in women?”, she eventually asked with as straight of a face as ever, and while the last question had already seemed a bit too personal for your taste, this one made your heartbeat faster than usual whenever you thought about what would come next.
“Well, I don’t really have one… I’m not that picky, if they are entertaining to hang out with, I guess”, you answered truthfully, well not completely, since there was someone you had eyes for.
“Then what about me?”, she asked, topping all her previous questions while making your face as red as the Jueyun chillies she loved to eat.
“T-that’s more than one question”, you stuttered out, frantically trying to buy your brain enough time to figure out any reasons she might have said something like that, baring the obvious of course, since that was too good to be true.
“Of course, how silly of me”, she stated, only to immediately get the highest possible score, making it unnecessary for you to even try and beat it. “Well, what about me?”, she stated once more, leaning forwards before putting her head in her hands while resting her arms on the table.
After seeing you fail to form a coherent sentence more than once, she leaned back before speaking again. “Fine, let me a different question”, when you heard her words, you finally managed to calm your nerves down a bit, only for all your blood to shoot into your head once again immediately afterwards.
“I like you as more than just a friend, do you feel the same?”, before you even had the chance to think about it, your body immediately went into autopilot, nodding enthusiastically without delay, causing the woman in front of you to smile at you once again.
Tumblr media
Kuki Shinobu
You had known Shinobu for a very long time, having been friends with her long before she and her family got on rather… difficult terms. But when she had gone to study in Liyue for a few years, the two of you lost contact, only for her to come back and become part of the Arataki-gang, something you couldn’t help but find odd. Sure, you hadn’t seen her for years, but her joining that group of rather unusual individuals, wasn’t something you had ever expected from her.
But when the two of you met again, you somewhat rekindled your old friendship. Sure, the two of you had changed a lot, and instead of wearing the shrine maiden clothes you had expected an adult Shinobu to wear, she had found a different way to dress, most notably wearing a mask to hide her face even though you had never thought that there was a need for her to do so, but at the core you were still the same people as back then.
You couldn’t pinpoint exactly when, but at some point in your friendship Shinobu had stopped acting entirely professional around you, acting far more friendly than before. It may have been far from the friendliness others, like maybe that Naganohara girl, seemed to offer, but still a big enough change for you to notice, not that you had anything against it, since you were just happy to have your old friend back. And while she still insisted on wearing her mask most of the time, she wouldn’t seem as embarrassed as the first time you accidentally caught her taking it off.
You had plucked a few lavender melons since you seemed to remember Shinobu having told you about how they tasted better when roasted and decided to pay her a visit to ask for a few tips, only to encounter what seemed to be the rest of the “Arataki-gang”, but without their name giving leader.
“Hey, I’m sorry to-”, you looked at what they were doing, only to find them stand around two beetles fighting each other, leaving you with more questions than answers, but decided to continue anyway “…interrupt you, but do you know where I can find Shinobu?”, you asked, causing all of them to immediately turn their heads around.
“You’re looking for Kuki Shinobu? Why? Do you need something from her?”, one of them immediately started questioning you, approaching you while making you feel as if you were in some sort of trouble, like you had broken an unspoken rule, but before you could continue, the man in front of you suddenly had a look of realisation on his face. “Oh, you’re her friend! The one she always spends time with after work”, he almost shouted, catching the attention of the rest, making them gather around you as well.
What followed was them bombarding you with one question after another, not leaving you any time to answer any of them, but seemingly not even minding. You had long lost the ability to even register any of their questions, since they would be interrupted in the middle of it, causing you to have to hear a completely new one, that was, until you heard a question that stood out.
“Are the two of you a couple? You must be, you always hang out with each other, and she even mentioned you a couple of times”, all other members fell silent, as all their gazes were focussed on you, awaiting your answer.
“She was talking about m-”, before you had the chance to finish your sentence, another voice rang out, this one clearly being Shinobu’s, but instead of sounding professional like usual, or relaxed like when you spent time together, this time it was filled with rage.
“You have ten seconds, whoever is in my line of sight once they are over won’t live to regret it”, in an instant, the mass of men around you were gone, all of them scattering into different directions, leaving you and Shinobu alone, she finally having calmed down somewhat. “I hate those idiots sometimes”, she stated bitterly before letting out a big sigh, her choice of words somewhat surprising you.
“They seemed… friendly”, you awkwardly stated, trying to make her forget what had just happened, but instead earning yourself a nervous stare from her, only to hear her sigh once more.
“You heard what they said, so I guess there’s no need to deny it. I like you, and I hope you do the same, do you want to go out with me?”, her confession caught you even more off-guard, leaving you frozen in place for a couple seconds before finally mustering enough working braincells together to answer.
“Sure, I feel the same”, you answered, only to find it to be an underwhelming reaction, searching for a way to continue. “Do you want to roast lavender melons together?”, you awkwardly asked while lifting the basked full of them that you held in your hand, earning yourself a small, rare chuckle from Shinobu.
“Of course”

[Part 3]
*As Nagi walk to a certain location...*
Tumblr media
I...I think this is the place; this was where Hiyoko was going to kill me before Hajime show up and we ran off.
Tumblr media
I'm still not sure what happen to him, he look so different and acted different; there's still a lot I don't understand but I know that standing here and asking questions I won't get the answer to won't solve anything... I need to find my phone...
Tumblr media
I think I remember going down this path, it should be right over here...
*Nagi walk down the path Hajime went which then she notices something...*
Tumblr media
Wait, is... is that...? *It was her phone, thought it was dirty; the cover was there*
Tumblr media
My phone, oh thank god my phone is safe! *Nagi rush over as she grab it*
Tumblr media
I guess I drop my phone when Hajime was carrying me, at least it didn't fall into the river, that would seriously suck. Now let's see...
Tumblr media
Oooh, it's nearly dead and there's a lot of messages from mom and dad, yeah that... that makes sense why mom was upset.
Tumblr media
*dials her dad's number* Dad...? It's me, sorry if I had to call you...
TENMEI: Hey there, I guess you found your phone then?
Tumblr media
Yeah I did, it was the path I took to escape. It didn't fall into the river either but it's nearly dead. I saw a lot of missed calls from you and mom so I'll need to hang up.
TENMEI: Well alright, me and Masuyo are still searching for Yukio; we are at the Izuru Kamukura statue so meet us-.
MASUYO: Yu-Yukio...? Oh my god, I found him!
Tumblr media
Huh? Wait did something happen...? I didn't catch that.
TENMEI: Seems Masuyo found him, quickly head over!
Tumblr media
Right okay, I'll head over there right away... *hangs up*
Tumblr media
Well... at least they found Yukio, that's good to hear and I got my phone; it has all the evidence what Satoko did, that's good. I better see if Yukio is okay but I'm not sure... he was wounded heavily so I doubt he's alive right now...
Tumblr media
Still... given how young Masuyo and Hotaru are, I can't imagine those 2 are gonna take it well.
*Nagi walk away as heading over to the location...*
...
...
...
*As then Nagi arrive which the others came to what appears to be a makeshift grave*
'YUKIO MIYAHIRA
DoB - Sept 29th, 1993
DoD - April 1st, 2013
CAUSE OF DEATH: SUICIDE'
Tumblr media
That's... that's a grave stone, right? That has to be...
Tumblr media
...
Tumblr media
I'm sorry... but looks like he's dead...
Tumblr media
*holding his wife* And given the time of death and the wound, he wouldn't have made it, right?
Tumblr media
Sadly not, his body has likely become black putrefaction by now since it's been a few weeks...
Tumblr media
Still... the fact that he had a gravestone made for him means that likely his class made this for him.
Tumblr media
Looks like it but suicide? I don't think Yukio would of done that, I know that he isn't the type to end his life like that.
Tumblr media
Yeah I can't accept it either, something must of happen so let's dig up his grave and see what's going on!
Tumblr media
Wait you mean we should dig up his grave, but isn't that bad? Won't that be disrespecting the dead...?
Tumblr media
It might be but suicide? Seriously sis, do you really think Yukio is the type to commit suicide like this - hell now, I can't accept that! We need to see what happen so let's dig it up!
Tumblr media
I suppose... it's a good thing we brought shovels along but let's hurry and see what we can find.
Tumblr media
Indeed so let's get going and see what happen, c'mon!
*As then the group got to work on digging up the body which Harumi check it over, which then he walk over...*
Tumblr media
Well... I check the body and looking at the markings of the neck and even his face, it's clear this wasn't a suicide, it was a strangulation.
Tumblr media
So Nagi and Hotaru are right, someone murder him and frame it to be a suicide and I think we can safely assume that Class 77-B did this.
Tumblr media
Yeah I knew that it couldn't be possible, so someone must of lie but why.
Tumblr media
Not sure either, but at least we know that Yukio didn't get killed today and he was bury properly before all this.
Tumblr media
But still... I think we should bury him again and take our leave, I don't want to stick around any longer in this area so let's get back to the car.
[DESPAIR SIDE EP. 12] The Flaws Of The Future
[Part 1]
Date: April 28th, 2013
Time: 1:45 PM
Location: ???
*At a random apartment in Tokyo, A news station was showing the fall of Hope's Peak Academy...*
Tumblr media
NEWS REPORTER: 'With the tragedy had continue which as of April 28th, 2013. Hope's Peak Academy, a school for humanity's hope has finally fallen; the Reserve Course had all committed suicide after they had killed all Main Course students and then killed themselves - their reasons to why still remains a mystery - will update you all on the situation...'
Tumblr media
... (I can't believe it, looks like Hope's Peak Academy had finally fallen; it's hard to imagine but I suppose after everything I witness, it feels deserve...)
*As then Masuyo walk over*
Tumblr media
Hey... Miss. Nanami? Is it okay that we search the school now?
Tumblr media
Huh? Oh uh, search the school...?
Tumblr media
Yeah... the news stated that the everyone died, right? That means we should head to Hope's Peak Academy now and see if we can find Yukio.
Tumblr media
And look, I know your going to say it's far too dangerous or whatever but we are going and that's final.
Tumblr media
Right... I suppose you 2 still want to come along, well alright but let's wait until Kyoji gets back, I told him to get those 2 here then we can start our search.
*As then Hotaru rush away from the window*
Tumblr media
Miss. Nanami and Masuyo, I saw the car! He's back with 2 random people!
Tumblr media
Wait, there back?! Oh god, that was quick!
Tumblr media
*Nagi rush over and look outside* Wait, that's mom and dad! Looks like there safe!
Tumblr media
Wait... were you waiting for your parents? What made you assume they were alive?
Tumblr media
Well before I escaped, dad call me and say he was going to be getting mom at the hospital and given that Hospitals were being left alone that meant they were safe havens so meaning that they are alive right now.
Tumblr media
Riiight, I suppose that is to be the case; still we should be careful...
*CREEK!*
KYOJI: Okay we're here, now we can-Wa-Wait hold on ma'am, take off your shoes before you enter!
???: I-I know but I need to see if my daughter is okay!
*As then Harumi rush inside as heading towards the living room*
Tumblr media
Nagi, there you are! Oh thank god your okay!
Tumblr media
Hey mom, I'm doing good; I was able to escape weeks earlier before things went bad so I'm okay now so you don't need to-.
Tumblr media
Are you insane, do you realize that me and your father try to reach you for weeks! We got no response and it went to voice mail? I swear I was scared that you died, where were you?!
Tumblr media
Oh... right... (I don't think I've seen mom this mad before, well I suppose that does make sense...)
Tumblr media
Well the thing is that I dropped my phone when escaping and the lines were out so I couldn't reach you, sorry about that...
Tumblr media
Wait so you lost your phone? I see...
Tumblr media
*As then Harumi hugs Nagi* I'm sorry for yelling, when me and your father saw the school fall; we assume the worse and thought you died with the rest but when Kyoji appear and say that you were alive - I wanted to check and see for myself, at least your alive...thank god...
Tumblr media
Ye-Yeah... I'm happy to see your okay, but is dad with you as well?
???: Don't worry, I'm here as well and Kyoji did explain everything... Seems like you had to deal with a lot, huh?
*As then an older man walked in...*
Tumblr media
Still, there was no denying what your mom say; we did try to contact you but we couldn't reach you, we saw the building fall and assume the worse...
Tumblr media
*walks over and hugs Nagi as well* It's a good thing Kyoji arrive when he did and told us you were alive, sorry we couldn't come sooner, still at least your safe.
Tumblr media
Dad... yeah, thanks for coming... *As then Nagi started crying as hugging both her parents as Kyoji walked in*
Tumblr media
Well... seems that takes care of that, I suppose you'll need a moment before we go explore the school and see what we can find.
Tumblr media
Exactly... maybe we should start tomorrow?
Tumblr media
I don't think it's a good idea, there probably be a bunch of those guys in mask roaming around the area so we need to do this right now.
Tumblr media
Indeed... I know that there's a lot we need to discuss but given the news reported that, we don't have a lot of time.
Tumblr media
So let's head there and see if we can find any survivors, just to be sure.
Tumblr media
Mom's right... we need to investigate the area and make sure we aren't spotted then return back here, let's get going.

Hii! I absolutely love your writing, could you possibly do an imagine of shlatt and the reader waking up in the morning like all fluffy and cute ? Thank you 💗
the world's bullshit can wait ; (irl) schlatt x reader
summary : rainy monday mornings never set the mood to start work, and despite her protests, schlatt is convinced to take the morning to sleep in (and possibly even the whole day off entirely).
info : sweet fluff as requested, mild swearing, sweet nicknames and she/her, afab reader. very short drabble.
a/n : sorry this came a little late ! i do really hope you enjoy, thank you for requesting ! it's kind of different from what you might expect, just cause i already wrote this kind of idea in this oneshot. still hope you enjoyed my interpretation !
Tumblr media
Usually she found herself awoken in the mornings to intrusive sunshine and her lover who tended to wake up earlier than her (they both had the bad habit of sleeping in past noon); today was different. The rhythmic pitter patter of heavy rain rung her ears, as she slowly awoke, and in an attempt to sit up she was held down by larger arms wrapped around her smaller figure as if she was some kind of teddy bear. She felt slightly sticky, having been sweating during the night due to the heater that insisted on heavy comforters and being glued to her back the whole night. His soft snores reverberated in her ears, the more she tried to wiggle away the more he tightened his grip.
"Schlatt..." She murmured his name, "it's Monday, I have to start streaming soon." She was known for her weekly morning streams, it was a habit she picked up when streaming late meant that she'd no longer have any more time for sleep. "Mmmmm, a few more minutes..." He snuggled up closer to her, soft whines left her, "cmon, Schlatt... You can keep sleeping, you just have to let me go." "Hmm, how about no?" Her constant wiggling was waking him up too, but the sublime comfort of holding his beloved under the warmth of a heavy comforter was his little slice of heaven. His head snuggled into the back of hers, her scent consuming his senses and mind. "Mmmm, it's your fault you know? You know how much I love this shampoo... Or is it the hair oil?" He loved her, he loved everything about her, and just briefly blinking his eyes open to see cloudy skies gave him no motivation to let her go.
"And besides, weather is bad. That basically a sign from god to not do anything today." A soft snort left the shorter female who laid with crossed arms whilst her lover clung onto her for dear life. "But I have to work." "I'll apologize to your viewers on Twitter for keeping you later, just... Don't leave me." She let out a soft exhale, turning her body to face him instead of away; she was a sucker for when he'd put on his pleading voice. She'd closed her eyes, he moved in closer so his chin could rest upon the top of her head. "I knew I could knock some sense into ya." She attempting to look up at him but due to the lack of space between them, when he looked down all he saw were those large doe eyes he so desperately adored. "Are you even going to fall back asleep?" "Nah, but neither am I going to let you go anytime soon sweetheart." He barely managed to reach his lips far down enough to plant a chaste kiss upon her forehead.
"The world's bullshit can wait, and you know just how much I hate to share. Your viewers can miss out on a day." He chuckled softly, "because if I remember correctly, you're my pretty girl. And this gorgeous girl deserves a break to sleep in with her terribly handsome boyfriend." She hummed softly in agreement, "I suppose if it's only today..." "I'll make sure to make it up to them." And although she doubted that, he'd probably make some vague tweet about her absence. But little did she know Schlatt was very much a man of his word. And when she inevitably fell asleep in the comfort of his arms, Jambo ended up jumping into their bed after waking up himself. It was the perfect.
So he quietly snaked his arm away and reached over to his cellphone that's been sitting at his nightstand. Making sure the stupid ass sound effect the phone made when taking pictures was off, he took a selfie of them all in bed.
Sorry guys she's mine now, no more stream. Family time is important.
The tweet practically went viral considering it attracted her audience and his; Twitter had an absolute field day as shippers rejoiced.

oh ohhhhhhh ohhh wait. wait a fucking minute. listen. listen!!!!
flayed!billy and neil having an run-in a few days before The End. flayed!billy not scaring as easily, actually not scaring at all, compared to actual real!billy. turning right back on neil. except the mindflayer has a soft spot for his host becos the mindflayers fucked like that, so instead of just killing neil, the mindflayer decides to play with it's food for a bit.
real!billy doing his Thing and managing to get that one tear out. becos his dad may be a piece of shit but surely, surely, out of everyone, he would be able to figure out something's wrong. that billy's not billy. the desperation and the hope that maybe this is it, maybe this is only option, maybe making him just that little bit stronger. maybe him getting a 'dad, help, please' with a few more tears out before the mindflayer takes over again. but neil's a fucking coward at most and a piss poor excuse of a father at best, so he takes one look at billy crying, begging, and shakes off any doubt's and worry's, and treats him like he always does when billy turns to water under his weight.
he makes his voice harder, his grip tighter. his words crystal fucking clear.
and then flayed!billy is shoving him off, stronger than neil's ever felt him, and he's laughing, but not in a way neil's ever heard him laugh. and then he's turning to walk right out the door, camaro keys in hand, even though neil just grounded him for the entire fourth of july weekend, except he turns around just before he makes it outside, face completely blank and familiar, but neil's never seen this person before in his life, and says 'when billy and i have finished what we started, i'll come back for you.' and then he's gone.
and neil picks himself up from where he was crumpled against the kitchen counter, shakes himself off, and denies everything that just happened in the past 15 minutes. grips the bench to stop his hands from shaking, and promises himself that next time he sees billy, then he'll really let him have it. that just because billy thinks he's old enough to throw his own weight around, doesn't mean he's gonna get away with it under this roof.
except billy never comes home, and then it's the fourth of july, and neil and susan are trying to enjoy a nice dinner at home, a dinner that both their children were meant to be home for but aren't, but at least him and susan are having a lovely night. they enjoy it right up until the phone rings late that night, and then they're speeding to starcourt mall, and there's smoke and flashing lights and fucking military everywhere, and max is distraught, hugging susan like she's the only family she has left, and no one will tell him anything about billy except for a brief 'billy didn't make it, we're sorry for your loss.'
they won't let him identify the body. won't even release the body to be buried. won't tell him why all those people were in the mall after opening hours, what max and her friends were doing there. what started the fire. why there was fucking military clearing the scene. won't even give him a cause of death.
and every single time he closes his eyes, he hears 'when billy and i have finished what we started, i'll come back for you.'
he starts hearing it when his eyes are open, too, when he's trying to put together the funeral. when he tries to go back to normal life, back to his job, where his boss pulls him aside and gives him time off until his current family situation can stop effecting his work, back home, where there's no longer loud music shaking the doors, no car flooring it up the street, no fourth place set at the table for dinner, no shitty attitude and lousy excuses and brave backtalk.
everything's suddenly so fucking quiet.
so he fixes it. overcorrects. takes his sleepless nights and his workless days out on susan, is loud and brash and a constant immovable object. makes sure it's never quiet again. susan kicks him to the curb within a month, threatening police involvement if he doesn't leave quickly and quietly.
so, he leaves.
(then, susan and max leave for the trailer park, becos neil Left. and that's all susan will say on the matter. and then the upside down comes back with a new big bad, and max is right back in the thick of things in a way she never was before, but then suddenly billy's back. billy's alive, and he's back, and he's pulling himself with his bare fucking hands out of the upside fucking down before reaching around and helping her pull herself out and he's covered in blood and black goo and scars and injuries for days and, honestly, she probably doesn't look much better, but he's coughing and bleeding yet his heart's still fucking beating. and they somehow fucking found and saved each other.
and max is sitting by his bedside in hospital after every single surgery, and she keeps him company and puts headphones over his ears to listen to music and picks out the comic books that she knows he likes to read and she does her best to just never mention anything home related.
billy makes it a week after being back from the dead before he asks about neil.
'he left,' she says, because that's all that matters.
and billy fucking remembers. he remembers how hard he fought, how it took everything within him to overpower the mindflayer, even for those brief few seconds. how the only thing on his mind was this is it. this is my only chance. this is all i've got. and he remembers neil's eyes, wide, scared, fearful, but the second billy broke through, the moment billy shed a tear, fucking begged for help, his voice cracking over the word 'dad', neil went from speechless to loud. his eyes going from uncertain to cold. how the one time billy remembers asking his dad for help, probably the first time he's asked his dad for help since he was a kid, neil didn't even take even a moment to think about it. just took one look at him begging and crying, and steamrolled right over him, fucking sentenced him to death. all because he asked for fucking help.
billy closes his eyes and nods, doesn't think he could ever face neil again without falling apart for good.)

FIRST LOVE || WONIE-NOT-WONY
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
PAIRING. yang jungwon x gn!reader, mutual lovers to ex lovers
SYNOPSIS. despite their shared affection, they were never referred to as anything more. a story of youthful love laced with bitter ginger and sweet honey.
GENRE. fluff, angst
WARNINGS. none :)
WC. 1.3k
A/N. AAAAAABWIABAKANQ this is my very first oneshot so pls take it easy on me. i thought i would make it up to y'all for not uploading a lot. hope you enjoy! :)
Tumblr media
Ring!!
The lunch hour was announced by the sound of the bell.
Students began to flood the hallways like a mob of zombies. Along with dismissal, it was always the craziest time of the day.
Although every time you look at him.
Yang Jungwon
Chaos is non-existent
The entire universe simply goes into slow motion. There's just something about him that's so breathtaking.
Perhaps it's because of the way the wind tangles his lovely, fluffy hair when he plays soccer on the field. Or perhaps it's those stunning brown eyes that never fail to leave you speechless as they stare at you with such adoration. Or perhaps it's that charming smile of his, which causes your heart to pound wildly. Or perhaps it's just the way his sweet, honey voice always reassures you and makes sure you're okay.
You're whipped for that man.
You've been seated next to Jungwon ever since you first transferred to this school.
He talked to you first, you shared most of your classes with him, he showed you around the campus, he looks out for you. He waits till your classes are over before walking you home. When you forget your lunch, he shares his with you and holds your bag while you make your way home.
Who wouldn't fall in love with him?
"Y/n!.. Y/n?.. Hello?? Earth to y/n??" Jungwon said while waving a hand in front of your face.
"Oh! sorry." you said quickly snapping out of your trance to focus on him.
"Staring at me again? Do you like me or something?" a smirk starting to appear on Jungwons face as he leaned closer to you.
"No? What are you talking about? It just so happens that i spaced out looking at your direction. Stop fuelling your ego." You talk back hiding the fact you were staring at him and that you do like him. You rolled your eyes sarcastically and smacked his shoulder.
"Ow! Y/n don't you think you're being a little insensitive." he says dramatically clutching his shoulder pretending that it got dislocated or something.
After English class, the health break has finally started. tapping the end of your pencil on the table, leaning forward, and resting your cheek on the palm of your hand, your gaze falls upon him.
To your shock, he turns to look at you. "Hey y/n!" waving before going to your table. "I need to talk to you," he says in a soft voice, a little nervous.
He motions for you to follow him outside the classroom to the school garden.
You gaze at him confused because of how fidgety he is and ask, "What is it?"
He asks, "Can I hold your hand," and when you agree, he slowly takes your hand in his and gives it a light squeeze. “I don’t want to sound cheesy, but I need you to know how I feel. “
He takes a deep breath, "I am only going to say this once, so you better listen."
"I like you.. I really truly like spending time with you, and you really have become someone very precious to me. I know this is not how we do things, but I just can't ignore my feelings any longer.
“Why do you like me? I could be a loser or not treat you right or what if you become dissapoin-”
He tucked your loose hair strand behind your ear, which stopped you from speaking. “Stop thinking so much about the future. I’m here right now and I say that I like you. If you give me a chance, I won’t make you doubt yourself like that. You’re too good for that.”
You smile softly at him, drawing tiny circles on his palms.
“I'll wait for you, but you don't have to feel the same way if you're not ready.”
There was was a sudden urge in you that just wanted to fling your arms around him and kiss him.
“You’re too good for me, Jungwon” you sighed, “But, sure. I don’t mind being courted.”
His eyes twinkled and he pinched himself, to make sure he wasn’t dreaming. You noticed the red mark it left and quickly took his arm, blowing cool air onto it. “Don’t go bruising yourself, now.”
When the bell sounded, it was time to leave for class. Your hand remained entwined with Jungwon's as he led your class. Your morning and Jungwon's confession had barely passed. But you couldn't get that moment out of your head.
Jungwon grinned and said, "I'll see you after class, yeah?" he easily put a ring from his finger onto yours.
“What’s this for?”
“so you don’t miss me too much.” he gave you kiss on your forehead and walked to his class. You stood there, melting internally.
After that, everything remained the same with the exception of the occasional handholding and flirting. But after a few months, things started to seem strange.
Your relationship dwindled down to waves in the corridor, then to small talk, then to brief glances. Due to the nearing deadline for college applications in your junior year, you are aware that the two of you were buried in work. However, it wouldn't hurt for him to stop acting as though you two didn't get along.
In an effort to try and mend your relationship, you walked over to Jungwon to share a meal.
“Hey Jungwon! ” nudging his shoulder, "Let's go to the cafeteria before there are no more seats.
He quietly remarked, looking at you with regretful eyes, "Sorry, y/n, I'll eat with my friends today."
"What are you apologizing for?”
He murmurs in his head, ‘Everything.’
"It's okay, see you after lunch!”
It's not okay. He couldn't possibly face you again. He doesn't want to break you like this. His relationship with you will be ruined.
But he has no choice. You deserve to know.
He wishes he didn't fall out of love. He wishes that it could've lasted. But things don't work like that. He can't just make himself fall in love with you again when he's already fallen out of love with you.
You made your way out of the classroom with your friends to look for a spot to eat in the cafeteria.
You and Jungwon have a mutual friend named Sunoo. He came over to you. It looked like he had something important to say.
He typically eats lunch with his buddies at this time, so you were puzzled as to what he wanted. Nevertheless, you approached him and gave him a warm greeting.
"What are you doing here; don't you have lunch?"
He has an expression that makes you uneasy. His face is mixed with sadness, guilt, and worry.
"I need to talk to you about something."
"Sure, go ahead."
He opened his mouth to speak, but nothing came out.
"What?"
He hesitates a little before continuing.
"It's just-"
"If you don't have anything to say to me, I'll just be on my way." You mentioned being irritated by how long it took him to say something to you. I mean, what would take him so long to say someth-
He quickly interrupts you before you can go by saying, "He doesn't like you anymore."
What..?
Confusion is written all over your face.
Who doesn't like me anymore?
You say, still confused, "Sorry, who?
He murmurs gently, "Jungwon."
You feel a pang in your chest. Your heart just felt like it was shattered into pieces.
You weren't even labeled in the first place. It wasn't even real in the first place. He wasn't even truly yours to begin with.
So why did it hurt so much..?
You know why.
You gave all your love, all your time, and all of yourself for a silly mutual love between two teenagers. It's also because you had hoped for it to last. The fact that you had that hope and expectation made your heart swell in pain.
They were right; first loves don’t last. If your first love did last, then it wasn't your first; it was your last.

The Heist - Chapter 16
You can find the rest of the chapters here.
We both step out, and I head to the right just as Jake instructed. I walk past the food trucks and come to the parking lot. I turn around to see Jake is no longer behind me. I scan the area looking for him, but he's nowhere to be found. I walk a little further into the parking lot and crouch down between two cars so that I'm not in plain view of everyone. After a few moments, I can feel the panic start to set in, and I wonder if Jake has been captured. The horn beeps on one of the cars, further down causing me to jump. I look back towards the festival and see Jake walking towards the parking lot and straight for the car that just beeped. I get up and quickly walk in the same direction, meeting him at the car.
"What happened? I thought they found you?" I ask.
"I had to go get our bags."
He unlocks the car, and we quickly get in and make our way through the parking lot and away from the festival. Once we are on the freeway, I breathe a sigh of relief. After a long, awkward silence, Jake grabs my hand and squeezes it. "I have a plan, but you're going to have to trust me."
"Care to share?"
"Not yet, that's why I said you'll have to trust me."
"I trust you, Jake. I've never doubted you before, and I don't plan on starting now."
After an hour or so on the road, Jake pulls into a small convenience store. He turns to me, "I hate to ask this, but do you have any money? We need a few things." I nod and pull out the wad of cash I took when we left. He gives me a questioning look. "Do I even want to know?" He asks.
"I keep cash hidden away for emergencies. I figured this would be considered an emergency." I start to get out of the car, and he stops me.
"No, you stay here. I'll go in and get what we need." He says, and I hand him the money.
After a few moments, Jake comes back with a bag full of stuff. He reaches in the bag, pulls out a burner phone, and hands it to me. "How much do you trust this lawyer of yours?"
"Jake, I trust him with my life."
"That's good enough for me. From this point on, he is the only one you are to contact. When the time comes, you will need to reach out to him and let him know what's going on. Only give him basic details. He only needs to know enough to keep us from running into more trouble. You understand?" I nod, and he continues. "We can't trust anyone from the FBI right now. Master is a very powerful man with a lot of powerful people working for him. He may not have the whole FBI in his back pocket, but I can assure you Michaels isn't the only rat. We're almost there, but we are going to have to ditch the car pretty soon. We will go the rest of the way on foot. It's not far, I promise."
After another half an hour, we approach a motel. Jake parks in the back and tells me not to leave anything behind. After gathering our things, we walk down the road a little way and slip into a narrow alleyway. After going through a maze of alleys, we end up at a small road at the edge of a dense forest. "This way," Jake grabs my hand and leads me into the forest. We've been walking for quite some time, and the sun is now starting to set. I'm beginning to wonder if we are just walking in circles when we suddenly reach a clearing and, on the other side, is a small house.
"We wait until it is completely dark, and then we make our way to the house. My buddy James lives there, and he is going to help us carry out our plan."
Sure enough, once it is completely dark, Jake takes my hand and leads me out of the forest. We quickly make our way to the house, and before we reach the back door, it opens, and a tall, lanky man stands in the doorway, motioning for us to come in.
"Thank you so much for letting us come on such short notice," Jake says.
"No problem, we both have the same goal. It's time we put an end to master. Come on, I'll show you to the guest room." He walks off down the hall, and we follow. "The shower is down the hall. We will talk once you two have a chance to freshen up." He walks out, closing the door behind him.
"Ok, now would be a good time to tell me your plan," I tell Jake.
"James works for master but he's been trying to find a way to bring him down for years. He's the last person anyone would suspect would flip so he can get inside his house and get the information we need to do just that. Even though Michaels is a dirty agent, we do still have a deal in writing that says we get to go free if we bring him down, and with Christopher's help, they will have to honor that agreement."
The door bursts open, and James runs in. "They're here." He whispers and reaches down, pulling the rug off the floor, revealing a hidden door. He opens it and motions for us to climb down the stairs. I look at Jake for some kind of reassurance. Jake does not seem disturbed by this in the least, so I follow him down the stairs. James throws our bags down to us.
From this hiding spot, we can hear everything that is happening. There is a knock on the door.
"Michaels, what are you doing here? I wasn't expecting a visit."
"Jake and that bitch he's with made a deal to help the FBI capture master and we can't let that happen."
"Of course not! Are you sure? I never thought Jake would be one to flip."
"I was there when the deal was made. One of our guys followed them for a little bit, but they lost them. They seemed to be headed this way. I thought maybe he might take a chance and stop by here."
"No, I haven't seen him. Now that I know what he's done, I know what I have to do if he does show up."
"It's not that I don't trust you, but do you mind if I look around just to make sure?"
"No, not at all come in."
They continue talking, and their voices get louder. I hear their footsteps and the floor creaks above us. I start to panic, knowing they are in the room. Jake moves closer to me and puts his finger over my mouth to keep me quiet. I try to control my breathing to keep from being heard.
"Really, you're checking the closet?" I hear James say.
"You never can be too sure." Michaels laughs.
"Well, I hate to rush you out, but now that you're convinced, I do have somewhere I need to be."
We hear them leave the room, and I start to breathe a little easier.
@layanasstories it's you're turn.

How Genshin Impact characters would react to someone flirting with you || (Liyue)
Hello everyone! I apologize for the wait but I finally finished the Liyue version ٩( ᐛ )و I was originally supposed to divide it into 2 parts but then I decided against it ( ͡°³ ͡°). Part 3 will probably be uploaded in 3 days. But in the meantime, enjouy reading! o(〃^▽^〃)o
-E <3
Tumblr media
Zhongli ❌💸
Tumblr media
How he'd react to someone flirting with you really just depends on his mood
He doesn't really interfere because he knows you can handle it yourself
You two have had the person flirting with you pay or discount something you both bought on more than one occasion and he's not even ashamed of it
"Ah, my lady. Your beauty is simply etheral."
The shop owner said as you examined the jade.
You looked up from the Noctilucous Jade and met Zhongli's eyes. Completely ignoring the owner.
Zhongli's put the Jade onto the table and reached into his pouch for Mora.
Though, once he opened it; he grimaced. Once you saw his expression you realized that neither of you had enough Mora to pay for the Jade.
You cringed as you saw the amount of Mora in the pouch and looked back at the shop owner to apologize.
That was, before an idea clicked into your mind.
You then berought forth the most charming and flirtatious face you could muster and smiled at the shop owner.
"My deepest apologies Sir, but I don't think we'll be able to buy from you today. " You sighed.
The owner widened his eyes at your statement and quickly replied with
"Oh no, it's fine your can just pay any amount you have now and come back to pay for the rest! "
"Thank you so much Sir, I am forever in your debt for this. " You said as you grabbed his hands.
The owner was completely smothered by now, he had completely forgotten Zhongli's presence and was looking at you with completely entranced eyes.
If it wasn't for Zhongli's years of experience in concealing his expressions, he would probably be laughing out loud by now.
"That was quite the show my dear, I doubt that he would have noticed anything even if we had robbed his whole stall. "
Beidou 🏴‍☠️♀️
Tumblr media
Just like with Kaeya, no one would really flirt with you since they know about your relationship with the captain of The Crux unless they're clueless
And Beidou being Beidou, would not take shit from anyone. Clueless or not
If the other person is being persistent, she doesn't really mind throwing hands
"It's a shame that you have a lover, otherwise i'd have made you mine by now. " The creep said as he grabbed both of your hands.
You leaned backwards, trying to get away from the man. You desperately scanned the area for anyone who would help you.
You then met Beido's eyes with a look that clearly read "please help me".
Once she saw you, Beido walked over and tapped the man on the shoulder.
"She's mine, now let her go." She said as she glared at the man who was holding onto your hands.
"And if I don't?"
The person didn't even register anything before Beido's fist collided with his jaw.
"I ain't scared of fines, I'll fight whoever disrespects my partner"
Xiao 🔪👺
Tumblr media
Doesn't really care if the other person is flirting with you or not
If it gets to the point of harassment he will give them a whack with his polearm
He looks like he doesn't care about you but that's just because he knows who you're going back home with
"Would you like to accompany me on my travels, my fair lady? " The traveler said as he loaded his belongings onto his cart.
"I'd have to decline the offer. I already have a lover I am devoted to. " You said with a smile as you passed him the packed food you had bought from the inn.
Xiao watched you two from the distance, he sat on the balcony if the Inn as he waited for you to bid him farewell on his missions as well.
"Were you watching me? " You said you peek at him from behind.
"I was simply making sure he was not a dangerous individual. " Xiao replied, stotic as usual.
"Are you here to bid me goodbye?" He asked as he gazed at you.
"Goodbye? Oh no, I'm going with you! "
"Even though you are hundreds of years old does not mean you are invincible. Therefore, you should refrain from fighting recklessly. "
Xingqiu ⚔📚
Tumblr media
He usually just tells the person bothering you to back off, politely. Of course
Though, he doesn't really mind if the other person is rude or persistent; it's just an excuse for him to have a little 'fun' behind the scenes
If they're rude, they'll most likely find themselves having a number of minor inconveniences
"Sir, please let go of my partner." Xingqiu confronted the creep.
You quickly ran to his side. Not wanting to be near the man for a millisecond longer.
"And what's the pretty boy going to do to me?" He jabbed at the blue haired boy.
Although he was slightly irritated. Xingqiu paid no mind to him and walked you back to your house.
"Y/n do you recall the creep from yesterday afternoon? Yes, I received a notice that he is trying to buy brass for his stall. I convinced every merchant selling fish in Liyue to not sell him any, I also bought some brass. Would you like some? "
Chongyun ❄🍦
Tumblr media
He doesn't really like confronting people so he'd just make up an excuse to take you away from them
If the other person decides to be start an argument, he'd try to keep his cool. Not wanting to go into the manic state he usually gets into once his body overheats
Sadly, on more than one occasion; he has lost his cool and completely and ends up causing chaos to anyone who's unfortunate enough to be nearby
It's been at least a solid 15 minutes since the guy sitting next to you have been pestering you about going with him to the Lantern Rite festival.
And for what felt like the 30th time, you declined.
You really wanted this person gone before you meet up with Chongyun but he kept following you so you just plopped down somewhere on the stone ground.
Unfortunately for you, the other person did not take the cue for him to leave but instead; had taken it as an invitation to sit down and talk with you instead.
At some point, you considered kicking him in the face but refrainwd from doing so. But now, you're regretting that decision.
"Y/n! Me and Xingqiu were looking all over for you. " Chongyun said as he ran over to you two.
The guy looked surprised as the two boys walked over you where you were sitting.
"Who are these people? " He said. As if they were the ones invading into someone's personal space.
Chongyun instantly realised the situation and whispered something to Xingqiu. He then gave you the hand signal for "Run for it" And pointed to behind him.
Almost in a flash, all of you three started sprinting away, leaving behind a very confused person.
"Thank Rex Lapis we didn't actually get into a fight this time"
Hu Tao 👻🔥
Tumblr media
Whenever she sees someone flirting with you, she'd ask them about their health
She'd then weird them out by introducing her as the 77th director of Wangsheng funeral parlour
The person flirting with you would probably be very uncomfortable at this point and leave, but if they don't Hu Tao would hand then one of her buy 1 get 1 funeral coupons
"I simply cannot resist your beauty. " The man said as he leaned in closer to your face.
"Hello there good Sir! How is your health? " Hu Tao asked as she appeared seemingly out of nowhere and before you.
The man seemed confused at her question.
"Pardon? " He asked.
"Ah, I have forgotten that I have yet to introduce myself. Please call me Hu Tao. 77th director of the Wangsheng funeral parlour! " She introduced herself and took out her hand for him to shake.
He seemed a bit uncomfortable at the mention of funerals but nevertheless he ignored Hu Tao and went back to your conversation.
"What do you say to dinner at Wanmin Restaurant? " He pressed on, flat out ignoring Hu Tao's whole existence all together.
"Here's a coupon, it's buy one funeral, get one free. I hope I'll see you soon! " She said as she dragged you away. Leaving behind a very disturbed man.
"I should've said 'I hope to see you again businesses-wise. ' "
