KINNPORSCHE ANNIVERSARY — WEEK 10: WEAPON(S)

The Devil and The Soldier

[kentopedia]

if we're asking for nanami thoughts then i just wanna know how he'd act if you came home llate from a mission or work jwjbsbs i need this rn

.𖥔 ݁ ˖ SAFE & SOUND — nanami kento

contents: gn!reader 🤍 heheh i didn't mean to write a whole little drabble but i cannot resist something like this ! sfw & a little bit of angst for kicks and giggles — 700

given the nature of being a sorcerer, nanami can't help but get worried when you're running late. he watches the clock tick, minute after minute passing while you still haven't answered his calls.

he's nervous, of course he's nervous. but he doesn't want to be annoying. he knows you can take care of yourself, knows you're strong and capable; and he doesn't want to seem like an overprotective boyfriend. even if it terrifies him that he can't get a hold of you.

instead, he'll just wait for your response, pace the apartment with his phone in his hands and pretend like everything's fine.

kento tries to stay calm. but 45 minutes have passed, and you still haven't answered him.

he's not usually an anxious man, not usually one to let his emotions get the best of him; but his palms are sweaty, his hands shaky, and he can't remember the last time he's felt so on edge.

the dinner he made earlier is already cold, even his own, which he can't bring himself to eat now.

kento's beginning to wonder if he needs to start making calls. there's no need for him to overreact, not when he hasn't been informed that your mission went awry. perhaps satoru knows where you are, shoko, one of the students.

or maybe not. if he doesn't get an answer soon, he'll consider going out after you.

he waits for ten more minutes. the seconds drag on and on.

kento's finger hovers over gojo's contact name. he contemplates.

but the door unlocks just before he can click it, and you're stepping through the threshold, shaking off your coat like nothing's wrong. your hair's a little wind-blown, but otherwise, kento can't spot anything off about you. there's no noticeable wounds, no pain in your expression other than exhaustion.

he's to you in just a few steps, dropping his phone back on the table to take you into his arms. you don't even have time to take your shoes off before he's crushing you to his chest, a heavy hand on the back of your head, pressing it near his heart.

you can hear it hammering in his ribcage, an erratic rhythm that makes guilt flower in your stomach. already, you feel so horrible, you'd been in such a rush to get home.

"kento," you say softly, apologetically, and he swallows, kissing your forehead. he's trying to pretend like nothing's wrong, like he wasn't just scared out of his mind, but you can see right through it. "i didn't mean to worry you."

it doesn't take a genius to realize he'd been afraid, not with the way he can't take his hands off of you.

he breathes, kisses the top of your head. "you didn't call me back."

"my phone died. i didn't get the chance to." you feel so, so awful, especially since you know that this has always been his greatest fear.

time after time, he's lived while other sorcerers die, and you know, even if he doesn't tell you, that he's just waiting for it to be you next. for it to be you lying on that steely table, leaving kento all alone, hardened to the world, perhaps forever.

"i'm so, so sorry, kento," you say, pressing your hand against his chest, feeling as the rhythm of his heartbeat dies down. "i was going to call you back as soon as i finished the mission, and then–"

"shh," he squeezes you tight once more, reassuring, "it's okay. it's not your fault, sweetheart."

"i should've been more prepared." your features pinch together. "i should've charged my phone before i left."

"it's okay," kento says again, and you're not sure when you became the one that's being consoled. "the important thing is that you're home safe and sound."

you swallow down your guilt, kissing his collarbone, the closest part of him that you can get your lips on. "i don't like worrying you."

finally, kento pulls away. you can see the distress that's slowly fading, the way his hands stop their nervous shaking. he brushes a piece of hair away from your face, smiling softly. the expression is almost sad, but there's so much love there, so much affection that you ache.

"well there's nothing we can do about that," he says, kissing your forehead before slinging an arm over your shoulder. "i worry about you all the time."

you open your mouth to argue, but it dies quickly. your rebuttal is futile, hypocritical. you worry about him just as much.

"i'm going to be just fine," you tell him as he leads you to the kitchen, where the cold food is sitting there, waiting. "i'll always make it home to you."

he smiles, and squeezes your hand once. "i sure hope so."

Hoshina Soshiro - Archive 1

TW: Mention of blood

Prequel : Archive Opened, Archive 1, Archive 2

Summary: Memories of Hoshina Soshiro before division 3.

Hoshina Soshiro, the blade prodigy. If this was still the Muromachi period he would've been considered a genius. It's a pity that he doesn't have the same unleashed power with guns. Even so, despite all of that here he stands in line at the himeji entry exam to grab his bib number. In his hand was number 203. He couldn't find anyone he recognized personally in the sea of people. "Oh we're still missing on more person" The officer whispered to each other as they looked down at the list of people's name that were crossed off. "We have to start the exam soon, it can't be helped" The other officer added shaking his head. The officers stood up from their chair, packing up the papers and tablets. "WAIT!!!" The voice was so loud that the whole room dropped dead into silence. All the heads turned to the owner of the voice, including Soshiro. Only for his eyes to land on a girl, she seems like she's 5'4 at best. Her dark brown hair tied up into a ponytail with a white bow. Her teal eyes glistening like the andaman sea glittering under the sun. "I'm sorry I'm late!!" The girl shouted as she rushed to the registration table. Her bangs were stuck to her forehead, cheeks were flushed red, probably because of the heat from outside. It is late June anyways.

"Iwaizumi Yoko" Yoko grinned as she looked at the officers.

"Okay, here you go Iwaizumi-san" The officer handed her the bib number. "Well, good luck on the exam". The officer bid as he packed up once again. Seems like an interesting one.

Soshiro made his way outside to where the fitness exam was to be taken place. It was a series of test: low crawl, 4km timed run, and speed climbing. It wasn't a surprised when he landed in the top three barracks in each one. However, the surprise was that Iwaizumi Yoko placed first in all of them except the timed run, that one Soshiro took home the win. This caused an up-roared within the sea of examinee, everyone asking the same question. Who is Iwaizumi Yoko?

The next part of the exam was the aptitude test. All of the examinee was ushered to the testing ground.

"I'm impressed by how fast you were" The blonde guy started as the group walked towards gate 4. "Keiji Fujiwara" "Hoshina Soshiro" Soshiro offered back, the two of them talked until they reached Gate 4, the exam arena. Soshiro learned that Keiji is actually the Keiji Fujiwara that's the top student at JGSDF. No wonder that man is so muscular. All of the examinee was ushered into the preparation room, and changed into the combat suit. As Soshiro slips the suit on, he feels the material clinging onto his skin. It feels like it wasn't even there. His heart was beating so loud that it feels like everyone else around him could hear it. "OOO THIS IS SO COOL!!" Yoko shouted, looking at her arms and legs that were now covered with the suit perfectly. Soshiro eyes trailed from Yoko's face down to her legs. The suit is hugging all of her curve perfectly, the way it reveals Yoko's waist and hips--Soshiro shook his head, snapping himself out of the trance. Now isn't the time to be ogling someone. "You think someone with a big dick would have an issue wearing this?" Yoko questioned with the most nonchalant face Soshiro ever seen. Yoko she looked around as if she's trying to find something or rather someone to prove her point. The girl with a bob hair cut next to her slapped Yoko's arm. "Could ya have said that any louder?" "I'm just expressing my concern for my fellow examinee, Megumi-chan"

Soshiro broke out into laughter, hugging himself as he folded in half. He locked eyes with Keiji as the other jaw's dropped at what they just heard. Keiji reminds him of a gaping goldfish somehow and that made him laugh even more. "I hope everyone here pass" Soshiro wheezed out.

"Settle down everyone, I'm Captain Kinichi and I'll be proctoring the aptitude test." The voiced boomed around them, and they could see Captain Kinichi on the screen. The man had a scar running from underneath his eye to his nose. Soshiro heard about it before that Captain Kinichi got that scar from saving his vice-captain during a mission. An honorable man indeed.

"The combat suit also measure your unleashed combat power. This practically means how much power of the suit that you're able to draw out. 20% is usually where most trained general officer is at so don't fret if your percentage is low"

"Ito Misakai, 8%"

"Tanaka Momo, 10%"

"Keiji Fujiwara, 25%" To be expected of the top student at JGSDF

"Abe Megumi, 5%"

"Hoshina Soshiro, 32%?!" Fuck yeah

"Iwaizumi Yoko, 35%?!" Oh?

"Suzuki Hajime 17%" The list then went out, but everyone including Soshiro was hung up over Yoko's number. When Captain Kinichi announced Keiji's number everyone already went crazy, but to see that the expectation kept going up was insane.

"Judging from the results here, it seems like we're going to have an interesting exam. Your objective is to neutralize Kaiju. The target are the 53 Yoju and Honju in the arena, this arena is modeled of the Gion-distract in Kyoto. We captured them last year during the Gion tragedy. Each one of you have been assigned an auto-tracking drone. You can pick what weapons you would like to use in the arena. In the event we determined that your life is in danger, we will activate your suit's shield. However, that also means that you failed. We can't guarantee that you'll make it out of this alive, so anyone that chooses to walk away can do now. THE EXAM STARTS NOW." Next to Soshiro a box appeared from the ground, the lid of the box opened automatically. Showcasing variety of weapons to choose from, however he already has his eyes set on one thing and one thing only. The one thing he ever known his whole life, the twin sword. He also grabbed the katana just in case, there's no such thing as being too careful. Once he stepped out, the arena is literally a replica of Gion. Soshiro located his first target, smirking as he went up close to the lizard type yoju. When it comes to mid size yoju, Soshiro has no doubt in his mind that he'll win. Soshiro drew his swords out, and in the matter of 23 seconds the yoju dropped to the ground. "That's some big dick energy right there" A familiar voice shouted, Soshiro looked up to see Yoko standing on a house's balcony. Her bangs falling over her eyes as she looked down on him, her lips curving into a little smirk. In her hand was a bloodied scythe, interesting choice

"Oho? The great Iwaizumi-san is complimenting me?"

"Perhaps, you don't really see someone using a sword nowadays"

"Says the one with a scythe" Soshiro added as he decided to join Yoko up on the balcony.

"I don't really like it when they're too close to me. They're kinda ugly and disgusting" Yoko made a disgusted look on her face. She really is a simple person.

"Why not a gun?"

"It wouldn't be fun if the risk wasn't high enough." Soshiro himself really didn't know what to make of that answer. Is she was joking or psychotic. "Do you want to team up?"

"Sure" Soshiro replied, getting up on his legs.

"Everyone! The mature ones have acidic saliva in the neck. It can shoot salivas out of it's mouth" Megumi shouted, thankfully she was close by otherwise Soshiro wouldn't have heard it.

"That means the ones we dealt with in these streets were just the juven-" Soshiro grabbed Yoko, cutting her mid-sentence. He pulled her closed to his chest and jumped off the balcony. Sheltering Yoko from being the one to brace the impact as the both of them fall to the ground. Soshiro being the safety mat for Yoko. Looking up the both of them saw how the balcony that they were just standing at melted to nothing. The acid even punctured a hole in the house. Towering above them was the mature lizard yoju. This yoju was taller than the houses, which translates to Soshiro would have a hard time with his sword.

"Thanks" Yoko said as she got to her feet, grabbing the scythe that landed next to them. Soshiro ran up to the lizard, slicing the skin off. It wasn't that easy as he wasn't cutting fast enough to beat the regenerating time. The next cut he made next to the yoju's knee was then followed by a large scythe decapitating the yoju. Before he knew it, him and the scythe user was completely in sync. Every cut he made, Yoko would be ready to deal the last blow. It was as if they were dancing, in a rhythm where only the two of them would know. The yoju was neutralized in no time. There were streams of yoju coming at them, however the two of them finished it in no time.

Sweat slid down Soshiro's face, dripping down on the ground. The muscle on his back flexing as he inhale and exhale. The coconut dark violet hair was now also drenched wet, it was like someone poured a bucket of water on him. Yoko's condition was no different than Soshiro's. "We make a great duo don't you think?" "So ya need to pass" Soshiro winked at Yoko, this made Yoko's already flushed face even redder. The tips of her ears burning as she smiled back brightly. If Soshiro were to be completely honestly, that smile that Yoko had was more than enough for him to forget about all the kaiju that's wrecking havoc in the world. Enough for him to even forget that they're in an exam.

"That's my line!"

"Should've said it faster than" Soshiro laughed. Yoko stuck out her tongue at him, but doesn't say anything else as they walk down the street.

"All yoju have been neutralized" Captain Kinichi announced. At this announcement, it sparked a fire in between the duo. Yoko was the first to start running and Soshiro caught up in no time. A smile playing on his lips as he could see Yoko's lips parted before she utter the next words. It was as if he already knew what she was going to say.

"The loser have to pay for dinner" Before Yoko could even finish Soshiro was already a few feet ahead. Making Yoko scoff as she flings her scythe ahead to loosen up the weight to make herself faster. They ran past the other examinee. To plain eyes, they just look like colors flashing by. "They're a whole different class" Megumi sighed, wiping her forehead as she grinned. "Who cares tho! I'll catch up to them!!" She shouted as she also started running to the direction of the Honju. "Mmmh I could already smell the wagyu" Soshiro teased as he halts right in front of the honju. Wasting no time, Soshiro jumped into the air. "Number One: Air Slicer" Soshiro did his best to engrave as many cut as he can. The bigger the size, the thicker the skin. He was also running out of stamina. The honju twisted its body and avoided the attack. It wiped its tail and smacked Soshiro mid air. Soshiro got slammed to the ground. He could feel his ribs break, coughing up blood all over the cracked pavement. The honju was above him, towering over him. Piercing yellow eyes look right into him. He blinked. The honju was gone. Soshiro felt water dripping down his face, he looked up into the sky to see if it was raining. It was indeed raining, but raining blood. The culprit for this was now in front of him, the teal eyes soften as they landed on him. Her lips let out a small sigh. Soshiro noticed how her white bow was now drenched red.

"Sorry that I couldn't keep up Hoshi-chan"

"I'm craving wagyu...A5 wagyu" Soshiro smile, letting himself close his eyes for a second. That honju really just reminded him again of everything everyone in his life ever said to him. The era of sword is over.

"Hoshi-chan, you're really cool...you know that right?" The sweet voice lured him back to opening his eyes. Her arms wrapped around his back, lifting his other arm around her neck. The feeling of warmth grew in his chest as he let himself lean against the girl next to him. "You as well, Yoko-chan"

"Eh? Are you even older than me to say that?"

" 19 "

" Fine, you win this one" Yoko huffed out.

"The honju has now been neutralized, everyone please head out to the exit gate." Captain Kinichi announced. To say everyone in the monitor room was amazed would be an understatement.

"This year's recruits really are talented"

"Iwaizumi Yoko's unleashed power was at 60% earlier" Harumi Miyako was still in shock with what she saw. The speed that the honju was taken down was insane. This girl was probably on par with officers from division 1. "Hoshina Soshiro is also no joke. He's even faster than Iwaizumi" Captain Kinichi added as he sat down on his chair looking at the two through the screen. "This is probably what it means by, it takes a monster to hunt a monster down one."

Soshiro was propped up sitting reading a book on his hospital bed, the hospital gown draped over him. He looked up at the clock to see it being 14:00. Just as if on cue, the room door opened and it revealed a the brown hair girl. Today she was wearing pink satin crop tank top with lace embroidery on the top and white flare jeans. Her hair was tied up into a half up half down with a white bow. In her hands were two coffee ceramic cups and a bento box wrapped with a furoshiki seahorse pattern. One of the ceramic was teal with a black cat on it and the other one was dark red with a white cat on it. "Coffee delivery" Yoko sang as she puts the coffee down next to Soshiro's bedside. "Hoshi-chan, how's the recovery?" "They said I'm released t'morrow" Soshiro set his book down next to his bedside, reaching for the red cup. Bringing the cup to his lips, inhaling the aromatic scent of the coffee before taking a sip. She sure does make good coffee. "Don't ya live in Mie?"

"Yeah why?"

"Isn't a hassle to drive all the way here everyday?"

"I can't have Hoshi-chan being all bored and alone can I?" Yoko replied nonchalantly like it didn't make Soshiro's heart skip a beat or anything. If Soshiro would paid more attention, he would've noticed that Yoko stuttered and her ears were bright red. "Didn't know I was that special" Soshiro retorted.

"Shut up before I take the coffee away"

Soshiro did just that, sipping slowly on the coffee as they basked in each other's presence. The only thing they could hear was the birds chirping outside of the hospital's window. The sunlight found its way into the room, hitting Soshiro's face perfectly. His eyes glistened like a ruby. Yoko couldn't look away, as if she's in a trance.

"T'morrow, let's go to the bookstore" Soshiro turned and held her eye contact, he himself was no better than Yoko. To him Yoko's eyes were that of the Andaman sea and Soshiro would gladly drown in them.

"Where?" Yoko whispered out, suddenly her voice was stuck in her throat.

"Mie, I'll pick ya up" Soshiro set down his now empty coffee cup.

"Okay" Yoko unwrapped the furoshiki from the bento box and handed the box over to Soshiro.

"Thanks" Soshiro grinned, looking down at what's inside took his breath way. It was rice ball that looks like panda, grilled wagyu and veggies on the side. He first tried the wagyu, the meat itself was so sweet and tender, it literally melted in his mouth. "It's delicious Yoko-chan!"

"Bet it is, it took me so long to cook it"

"Didn't burn the kitchen down?"

"I'll burn you"

Soshiro laughed continued eating, Yoko grabbed the TV remote and turned it on. The two of them watched the news quietly, but if Yoko were to ever look back at Soshiro, she would noticed how his eyes were on her more than it was on the TV. "I think the news reporter should change her lipstick" Yoko commented, pointing out how the bright pink neon lipstick didn't suit her. "I can't believe they would let her on live television without anyone telling her that." "It's her new hair color, if she didn't dye it orange maybe it would've worked" Soshiro added.

"You're right"

"When am I not?"

"Like how you think milk goes in before cereal"

"Ya just in denial"

"Okay Mr.Coconut"

The two of them bickered until the sunset, however there were absolutely no tension in the room. Yoko packed up and got ready to leave as she realized that the sun was threatening to fall asleep anytime soon.

"Taking the train?"

"Nah, I took the motorcycle today"

"Be careful"

"Of what? Of you on the loose?"

"I'm warning other people, since ya took the motorcycle" Soshiro teased, chuckling as he could see Yoko pouting away. "Okay, for real now be safe"

"Yea Yea, Gramps" Yoko waved off as she head for the door, turning around one last time to look at Soshiro before heading out. "Don't be late tomorrow, Coconut-Chan". Before Soshiro could even reply, Yoko left. Leaving him grinning like an idiot to himself. Soshiro stayed up a little longer, to meditate. Even on day offs, he still needs to train. If he can't train physically then he'll train mentally. Every second that passes is considered potential time he could use for growth. Just as he was ready to sleep, he got an emergency alert on his phone. Emergency Alert: Honju sited in Nara, everyone please go to your nearest shelter or lock yourself inside your house.

Emergency Alert: Honju sited in Nara, everyone please go to your nearest shelter or lock yourself inside your house.

Soshiro eyes widen at the news. It was only an hour and half since Yoko left. Meaning that she was probably still on her way home. Soshiro immediately went through his contacts. Finger hovering over, Wonder Gorilla before tapping the call button under the contact.

"Pick up idiot" Soshiro whispered, only for the call to go into voicemail. He tried multiple times to no avail.

[megistusdiary]

Ayato seems so calm and collected in public, holding back whatever irritation he feels when you beg him for more affection in public. He is an important man and doesnt want other people in on his business. However once you start flirting with other men in hopes to rile him up a little he’ll rush you back to the estate and teach you the consequences of disobeying a commissioner. You wanted him to be more possessive so here you are!

ANYWAYS UH BRAT TAMER AYATO WHO MARKS YOU UP TO THE POINT THAT you’re EMBARRASSED TO GO OUT IN PUBLIC??? Yes please

THIS CONCEPT?? 🧎🏼‍♀️ 🧎🏼‍♀️😩 i love this so very much. also ayato has been on my mind lately fr fr. nonnie, you're a genius 🤌

i hope this does the concept justice ;w;

warnings: brat-tamer!ayato and sub!fem anatomy/pronouns reader

brat-taming, marking, manhandling, spanking, asphyxiation, dacryphilia, bondage, degradation, reader calls him 'sir.'

"ayato, m'sorry! i didn't mean it!" your eyes were glassy with tears as you stared up at ayato. he loomed over you, looking down with a deceptively neutral expression.

his gloved hand reached down for your face, gripping your jaw and pulling you towards him. he tilted your chin up, forcing your gaze to meet his.

"if you're looking for mercy, perhaps you should ask those other men you threw yourself at." he hissed, feeling your cheeks radiate warmth.

"i just wanted you to pay attention to- mmff!" ayato pressed your cheeks together, puffing your lips out and effectively silencing you.

"you were that desperate for attention? you think it's acceptable to flirt with my business partners, hm?" he paused, taking a moment to think. you watched his tongue dart out to wet his lips before they twisted into a smirk that made your eyes widen. "or, maybe, this is exactly what you wanted." the way your thighs rubbed together told him all he needed to know.

ayato laughed, running a hand through his hair and releasing your cheeks. your head fell forward at the loss of his grip, face feeling numb.

"you want to know what happens when you misbehave? fine, i'm more than delighted to demonstrate." he leaned over you, manhandling you to his liking. the rope binding on your hands made it easier as you simply turned whichever way he wished.

you shivered as he positioned you on your hands and knees, arching your back for him. you felt him lift your skirt up, cold air hitting your bare cunt. you faintly remember hearing him mention something about counting, thinking nothing of it.

until his bare hand came down hard on your ass. you lurched forwards, struggling to support your body.

"count." he reminded you.

"one!" you cried out, gasping when he hit you again rapidly.

"one what?"

"sir!" you bit your lip, feeling his hand skim over your heated skin. he spanked you again, taking pleasure in your shaky moans and gasps. he could hear you mumbling 'sir' and 'sorry' mixed in with counts for each hit.

he did so wish to see your face, though. seeing your pretty eyes fill with tears, lips quivering as you stare up at him.

growing bored of this position, he moved you again as he pleased. this time, you were sitting on his lap, pussy hovering over his dress pants. you looked up at him nervously as he leaned down, pressing you close to his chest as he began sucking marks up and down your neck.

you whined, writhing against him and trying to escape the painful nipping sensations. "hold still." he warned you, sucking another mark into the junction of your neck and shoulder.

"but, i- these can't be hidden- it's too warm for high collars, aya- sir." you trembled in his hold as he scoffed.

"that's your problem. you should've reconsidered your insolent behavior at today's meeting." he moved back, hearing your exhale of relief. it was replaced with a breathless gasp as his hand wrapped around your throat.

his other hand went down to your cunt, laying fingers against your entrance. he sneered as he squeezed the sides of your throat, feeling you clench against his fingers. "you're so desperate." you closed your eyes in shame, mouth falling open as he cut off your air carefully.

you felt his fingers tease your entrance, collecting the slick from your hole. he dipped the tips in continuously as you shivered. you struggled to not press down on them.

you suddenly felt ayato push you back onto the bed, falling limply like a doll with your hands tied behind your back. "you must be completely foolish to think i would touch you seeing how you conducted yourself this afternoon. if i were you, i would get to making it up. right now."

YOU ARE WERE MINE

Summary: Sacrifices are often made for the ones we love....even if it might hurt.

Parings: Sam Winchester x Male!Reader, Hinted at Male!reader x John Winchester, and Sam Winchester x Unmentioned girls

Warning?: Bi Sam ,Dean still flirting with reader, No jess death for M/n, Reader is a hunter...and never told Sam, Yellow-eyes, mention(hint at) smut

Sam looked up at M/n with a smile he wore a sexy fireman outfit for the bar outing the yellow shirt looked like it was going to rip if the surprisingly taller male flexed a little too much the red suspenders held up loss fitting brown pants and a axe that leaned on the door frame. "Come on Babe dress up a little." He said tightening the suspenders straps.

"You know I don't like Halloween." Sam sighed as his boyfriend came up to him kissing his cheek with a mischievous smirk. "Too bad guess I can't give you your treat." The h/c man growled nipping his ear as he walked out of their shared bedroom. With a fake pout he chased after him. "If I put on a Halloween shirt will it pass?" He said hopefully putting his arms over M/n shoulder causing him to put his hands on his hips. "Hmmm....If I get to pick the shirt." Sam chuckled and nodded. He'll soon regret that.

Luis was loosing his shit laughing at the shit while M/n smiled proudly at what his boyfriend was wearing it was a plain dark gray t-shirt with the words 'Just the tip. I Promise.' And a knife. "This has to be your best work, N/n." Stephan, M/n best friend, said dressed as a cop high fives the awaiting hand.

M/n gave Sammy a small grin and winked causing him to blush slightly. It was time to celebrate with friends Sam's accomplishment he can wait later to celebrate with Sam his own way.

(Time skip past smexy times~might do it later)

M/n woke up in a empty bed to the sound of a fight he quickly got up in only his boxers to see what was wrong. He knew it was human since he had symbols all under wall paper and floor boards. Turning on the lights he sees Sam and a shorter man next to him "Sammy?" He said causing both of them to look over maybe he should have put on pants eyes raked down his form. "Woah. Hi I'm Dean Rapunzel's older brother. You must be his roommate..." The green eyed man bit his lip looking down south of the s/c man before him. "...I just love Scooby-Doo.~" Dean said keeping his gaze on the mystery machine briefs M/n was wearing. Sam quickly got between both of them pushing his brother back. "Dean this N/n my boyfriend" A confused look crossed his face. "Where's Jess you girlfriend?" He asked. "She was my roommate graduated a year ago and M/n moved in."

Dean looked back at M/n the flirtatious smirk back on his face. "You're way out of my brothers league." Sam put a around his boyfriends waist pulling him close. "Why are you here Dean?" There was a pause of silence. "Dad hasn't been home in a few days." The blonde said before it was shot down. "Let me rephrase. Dad's on a hunting trip and hasn't been home in a few days." With that Sam tensed up and looked over to M/n. "I'll be right back." His tone rushed as he peeked him in the cheek and left their shared apartment brother in tow.

Once the sound of their foot steps were heard going down the stairs M/n sighed his hand running through his bed head. "Fucking Winchester’s." He mumbled before going back up stairs going to his old room. M/n went to the closet moving boxes out of the way till he got to the duffel bag he was looking for. A burner phone weighed heavy in his hand as he wandered back to bed. "If he goes I go." He mumbled to himself looking at the mirror on the nightstand. M/n has been off and on with hunting ever since he started dating Sam and he knew who he was the moment his last name left his lips, but he only put on a smile and gave him his first and middle name since L/n were famous in the community.

Sam came back to the apartment and started to pack a bag. "Sam what's going on?" M/n said innocently as he watched more of his boyfriends clothes fill the bag. "Just going to help look for Dad. Probably just went out with a old friend and didn't bother to pick up." Sam zipped up the bag as he threw it over his shoulder. "You know what's Monday right?! You can't just not show up it's your dream on the line, Babe!" M/n stepped forward slowing down the rushed pace. "I know...you're right and I'll be back on Monday." We walked out of the building. "Promise to call me when you get there." The h/c man said hugging the long haired brunette close. "I promise." With a final kiss goodbye M/n waved him off before going inside. Time to jump back into the L/n family business. Pulling out the burner it rung as the first number was dialed. "I don't give a damn of you are the IRS or girl scouts selling fucking cookies it's one am you idjit!" The familiar voice rung out. "Good talking to you to Uncle Bobby." M/n chuckled and the older man's breath caught in his throat. "Well I'll be damned do my ears deceive me or is that little F/n all grown up?"

"Glad you didn't trash this number."

"What are you calling for boy its still 1am?" Bobby asked.

" I need to pick up my truck. I'm going hunting."

~~~~Time Skip~~~~

Sam sat in the motel room trying to call M/n, but he didn't pick up. If only he knew that right at that moment he was beheading a vampire while laughing like a sadistic prick. After cleaning the blood off and burning the barn that held the nest M/n tried calling back when it picked up he heard Sam's distressed voice. "M/n now is not a good time. I'm so cold hold me" A voice spoke over Sam's. "Who the hell was that?!" I heard a loud hissing noise. "Sam!" That's when a shotgun went off, glass shattered, and the lime went dead. M/n stood up and paced un his room it would be late before he got home he'll have to hall ass to get there before Sam.

Going out to the truck he opened the bed lifting the metal cover and false bottom loading the weapons. He had no time to drop it back off. The road was silent till a voice interrupted it. "Hello, handsome. What's the rush?" Almost swerving into a ditch M/n looked over and saw a man with graying blonde hair. Reaching for a weapon the man's eyes flashed yellow gazing at him. "I wouldn't do that if I were you." He snapped causing the h/c make to look straight and push hard into his seat. "You're the little Winchester’s boy toy. Well in two hours he'll be home and dead by the time you arrive." M/n's breath caught in his throat. "Liar. I'm not stupid every hunter has heard what happened to Mary it doesn't take a genius to see they weren't the only one's. You need him alive and well, so why are you hear?" He growled low in his throat as the demon chuckled. "Got me there. You see Sammy boy needs to get back in the life and you being, I don't know, alive is getting in the way." The pressure grew stronger on the restrained man's chest till he almost could feel his lungs squeeze. "But I'm a business man. You work for me you live and maybe see Sam again or die in a blaze and the last thing he sees is your burning corpse. Can't be a protective boyfriend if your dead."

"What will happen to me if I agree?" That's when a sick smile pulled on his lips. "You become a demon. No a demon doesn't possess you! You yourself become one you memories and personality intact. So deal?" He held his hand out to the s/c man as he sighed taking his eyes from the road. "Deal." The demons yellows eyes shined bright as he yanked the young man forward pressing their lips together sealing it. "You are mine." He growled possessively as M/n pulled out his phone and dialed Sam's number. It went to voice mail. "Hey Rapunzel. I want you to know...I love you. Hold on to that, never let that go. You mean the world to me...so once you figure out how to open you voice mail this is waiting for you."

Sam woke up from his nightmare of his burning apartment building. It been almost three years since then and he never gotten over it. It took a year to get to his messages and what M/ n left behind gave him more questions then answers. He couldn't even get into the apartment before the flames erupted. Sam had doubts about M/n in the fire, but after the police report was released only one casualty of M/n Middle/n. Dean tried to tell my it would at some point get better, but the guilt still felt heavy in his chest. Nightmares of M/n in the fire not in pain, but seeming to absorb the flames made him question what really happened. The brothers had a lead on yellow eyes that their dad led them to. It all seemed to convenient that after the fight he knew to much about the demon that pledged his nightmares. The warehouse was falling apart it was in shambles as Dean parked baby next to it. "Are you sure this is the place?" Sam asked his brother. "Dad said this was it. Load up." Dean got out the car popping the trunk. This didn't feel right.

Tied up, beaten, and tortured. The Winchesters look up at their own fathers face with those horrid yellow eyes. "You boys never questioned a thing didn't even hesitate to come inside!" He chuckled darkly as the surrounding demons grinned. "This would have been the part where I laugh at you kill you dragging your sorry souls to hell to be my toys for the next millennium, but I have something better!" Signature Winchester grin lifted his lips as he called out seeming to no one. "Oh, honey bear! Come say hi." The sound of a strong gust of wind came from behind them as the clack of well made dress shoes hit the shifty floor boards. A man wearing black dress pants, shoes, and a open f/c(not black) silk button up. His back was to the brothers as John lifted his head up to kiss the man's cheek. Turning around white eyes looked at them, but that face was unmistakably M/n's a scar on his brow but it was him. Sam was chocked up M/n was in front of him looking well and oh God he's with enemy that took their dad's body as a meat suit.

"Do you like him, Sammy? Hells best torturer!" John said running his hands over M/n as the man kept his gaze locked on the tallest Winchester analyzing him as he seethed with anger at the demon touched his boyfriend. "Oh the things he's done would make Lucifer blush." Yellow-eyes trailed his hand down the scarred chest biting his lip making Sam struggle more. Snapping his fingers the other demons took Dean, but Sam was left there. "You're not useful to me dead Sammy boi." The demon circled him. "What's the best kind of torture, love?" M/n seemed to move for the first time getting right in front of Sam dropping to his knees being face to face with him. Cupping the beaten cheek of the hunter in his s/c hand his white clouded orbs turned the lively e/c giving a sympathetic look before it switched off. "Physiological." Sam didn't notice the room shifted into their old apartment tears pooled in those e/c eyes. "Where were Sammy?" A hiccup in between silent cries ended the sentence as a scene played out of M/n on the phone trying to talk to Sam before it cut off. "I needed you!" A scene of M/n chained to a wall seeing figures of his past hurt him till he gave in. "You were mine. And you threw it all away, threw me away like garbage!" The images went to Sam being with girls, but he could see familiar h/c hair in the background.

Tears rolled down Sam's face as white eyes filled his vision the eyes he loved fading away. What felt like hours happened in only a few seconds and within those seconds Sam was broken. He buried his face into the palm still cupping his cheek. "I'm sorry. I'm so sorry!' Sam would do anything for his M/n back even if it meant killing the monster his father has become. A gentle kiss stopped the trail of tears. "You are mine."

[I am always drowned in the thoughts of you. I get exhausted from crying, but I look for traces of you again...]

The patter of the rain hitting the window has been the only thing that has set the gloomy place for the last couple of hours.

The catheter placed with an uncomfortable sticky tape on the back of your hand feels heavier and heavier. Your eyelids shutting even when you try to keep them open. You're tired despite only spending all the time laying on that stretcher.

Some nurses come from time to time to make sure you're comfortable and you only nod tightly to the questions they make; a routine that you don't have the energy to hate.

Of course, not all days are like this. Sometimes you wake up in a good mood and the personnel would take you out to the small garden behind the hospital, pulling your wheelchair since you're still weak, but it is still something. You would smile and take the sun on good days like those, and if a familiar visited,  they would bring you your painting tools for you to clear your head and have a good time.

But you haven't had good days, lately.

Your friends called you constantly and, when you had enough energy to respond, you tried to put your best smile for them.

You didn't see it as a bad thing, though. They didn't need to know that you were going through thick.

But there was someone you couldn't lie to.

"The receptionist told me 'You can see your fiancé now.'" Jaebeom says as he walks towards you, placing a cute bouquet of flowers on the small table next to you. He looks stunning and always walks in with the hugest smile on his face to greet you. Probably to lift up your mood, too. "Was that an insinuation?"

You can't help but giggle at that, "Maybe. But also they wouldn't let you in if I said you were only my boyfriend. And I don't want to keep this lie."

"Then I better hurry up, right?" He smiles, placing a kiss on your forehead and dragging the chair next to you, taking seat as he grabs your hand tightly. "As soon as you are discharged, I'll put a ring on your finger. I promise."

You keep the big smile to him and cup his cheek with your free hand, being careful because of the catheter. "I've missed you."

"I've missed you so much more," He murmurs. His semblance suddenly changing. "We've been really busy with the tour now that it is starting soon, I'm sorry. I wish I could see you everyday."

"It's okay, love. I understand."

A silence sets in after that. Jaebeom closes his eyes and enjoys your touch for a moment while you observe him in detail; every mole, every mark on his skin, his warm breath against your wrist and his grip on your hand, as if he would never want to let you go.

When he opens his eyes again they're full of tears. You don't even recall when was the last time you've seen him cry.

"Why are you crying? What's wrong?" You ask, sliding your thumb across his cheek to erase every trace of tears falling down.

"I'm sorry," Jaebeom softly whispers. "I hate that I can't do anything else for you."

You sigh, bringing him closer and moving a little, making a space for him to cuddle with you. "Come here. Don't cry."

He does as told, hiding his face in the crook of your neck, calming his nervousness with heavy breaths. It breaks your heart to see him like this.

Your boyfriend gets to calm himself as minutes pass by, with the help of your hand tracing circles on his back, and sweet words whispered to his ears.

You two get to talk properly afterwards, telling each other about how your days have been, although Jeobeom did most of the talk and you only listened, occasionally commenting about it and also asking about your friends.

"As usual, the boys send you greetings and hugs, but only I get to do that, right?" He chuckles, kissing your forehead for the nth time and making you blush. "They might even pop up at the videocall tonight since we'll be rehearsing."

"That's good, don't tell them I said this, but I actually miss seeing their faces and hearing their voices everyday."

Jaebeom laughs at that. "No wonder why I see Bambam sending you voice notes all the time."

A nurse comes back a moment later to let you know that the visiting hours is now over, so Jaebeom stands up and kisses you goodbye, "Don't forget that-"

"-we have a date. For dinner at half past eight. As we do almost every night. Of course I won't forget."

He smiles at you and kisses you again. "And that I love you."

"I love you too." You murmur with a smile and see him walk out of the room.

The nurse changes the serum, as usual, and you only stare at her, not knowing if you should ask...

"Is everything alright, ____?" She asks.

You've known her for a while now, it's almost as if you two were friends, but still, you were still undecided about something that has been in the back of your head for a couple of days.

"Noona, could you do something for me?"

GOT7's tour was about to kick off two weeks after that visit, although it wasn't the last one. Jaebeom did make sure to visit you whenever he could; after rehearsing or even skipping his time to have meals to rush in to the hospital -thing that you obviously scolded him for, but he promised he would get something in his way back-. He also made sure to show you clips of the rehearsals and some videos with messages from the boys for you, which you truly loved.

However, even if that lifted your spirits, it wasn't enough to make you feel better from the terrible days you've had. Not only you couldn't move and hang out as you did weeks ago, but you were feeling so weak that most of the time you would spend it sleeping. In one of Jaebeom's visit you two were talking until you fell asleep, and next thing you know he was saying goodbye again with a worried expression on his face.

And the worst thing is that you didn't have to be a genius to know the reason why. The disguised words you heard from your doctor were enough confirmation for you to know what was about to come.

And you definitely weren't ready for it.

"So? You got good news for me?" You ask the nurse once you see her entering the room.

She tilts her head and sees the hope shining in your eyes, despite looking so small and weak. "Yes. I talked with the doctors and they gave the authorization."

And that was enough for you to feel happy for the rest of the day.

"Are you sure you are okay?"

Unlike other days, today you have woken up happy and eager to go out. You suppose it is normal because you have anxiously waited for this day to come

You nod as an answer and the nurses carefully help you to get ready. 

To say you were nervous was an understatement. You weren't even sure how did the idea come to mind, but you were really determined to do it. And as you get in the van, you quickly send a message to Jinyoung to let him know that you were on your way there.

You've thoroughly planned all this; after all, it was a surprise for Jaebeom.

Of course he couldn't believe his eyes. He froze in his place while the boys almost ran to hug you; Jinyoung pushing the chair behind you and telling them to be careful, but you were too happy to even care about the bone crushing hugs you were receiving. It was all you wanted.

Jaebeom walks slowly to you and gives you a hug when they're done, letting out a sigh he didn't even know he was holding.

"Really? H-how did you even- Are you okay?" He asks, concerned, to which you laugh and nod.

"I'm good, hyungie. The doctor allowed it and I've been wanting to see you out of the hospital." You murmur, holding his hands. "And what kind of boyfriend and ahgase I'd be if I didn't attend your first concert of this new tour?"

They all seem very happy because they haven't seen you in a long time, so it's not surprising that everyone is around you all the time in backstage, asking you lots of questions and updating you on everything that happened since the last time they saw you, although no big news since you're used to chat and videocall them quite often.

While they are fascinated to have you there, Jaebeom seems to be more quiet and with a worried expression, indecipherable. You wonder if he knows or at least suspects about the reason behind it.

The concert finally starts and after more worried looks from your boyfriend, you decide to see from the first row the entire show. Even Yugyeom got you a lightstick for you to cheer them up, and Jaebeom stressed that whatever you needed you could ask anyone from the staff.

It goes pretty well, and you didn't feel uncomfortable or bad at all, but that didn't stop your boyfriend from making sure you were indeed okay every time he could; approaching the side of the stage right where you stayed and nodding in your direction from time to time, and the fans close to you were respectful and careful with your space.

Jaebeom gets somewhat sentimental while performing some songs, and when he stares back at you, you know it. He knows it.

So the first thing he does when the concert is over and gets to backstage is kneel in front of you and cry on your lap.

The boys don't understand the situation, but they leave you two alone for a moment, thinking that maybe their leader was too emotional tonight.

"What are you hiding from me? What have the doctors said?" He gets to babble while the tears are covering his face.

You're hurt from seeing him crumble like this in front of you, so you cry too, holding his hands and tracing circles on their back, trying to calm him down.

"Nothing you don't already know," You say. "You've seen me. I'm not doing well, and... I just had this feeling, I had to see you again, one last t-"

"No." He stops you. The lump on his throat making it harder to speak. "Don't say that. Please."

"Hyung, I'm sorry." You murmur, now caressing his back and placing a kiss on his head. "Please forgive me."

Before going back to the hospital, you say goodbye to your friends, who seem to now be understanding of the situation, but being too shocked to even say anything about it. They hug you more and try to lift the mood making lighthearted jokes that genuinely make you laugh.

Jaebeom doesn't want to separate from you anytime; he's either holding your hand or leaving kisses all over your face, letting you sleep on over his chest on your way back and whispering words to your ears.

"I'll come to see you again later today, alright?" He promises as you lay on the bed and get comfortable. "Sleep for now. I'll be here when you wake up."

He kisses you with so much love, not knowing it was the last time he would do it.

He didn't expect to receive that heartbreaking call that soon.

Just when he was getting ready to see you, he received the news, and he couldn't stop crying and shaking for a long moment. His friends were there, trying to calm him and themselves down; hurt by hearing they've just lost you and feeling so wrecked and weak. 

Naturally, the next shows were postponed, which raised suspicions and fear among the fans, who saw you just a few hours ago.

Jaebeom has never felt this empty and pained.

A part of him ruthlessly ripped away.

He can’t believe it,

That when he opens his eyes you won't be next to him.

Even if those memories make it hard on him,

It’s on his head again.

Even if he clears out all those memories,

He will always be drowned in the thoughts of you.

WIP Wednesday

Better late than never edition lol

So this past week (or maybe the week before, I can't recall) I drabbled a bit of something that popped into my head for Caleb Shepard and Ashley from Mass Effect 1. Not quite sure where this falls exactly, probably not too long after Eden Prime I'm guessing, but it'll be in there somewhere...

~~~

“Skipper.”

Shepard lifts his gaze from the datapad in his hand to find Williams standing next to the table. “Chief.” He really isn’t in the mood for company just now after that mission, but it isn’t in him to deny her the opportunity if she feels a need to talk.

She drops into the seat settling her mug of coffee between her hands. “So… uh… You’re that Shepard?”

One dark brow quirks upward at the emphasis on ‘that.’ “You mean there’s more than one of us?”

It’s a poor attempt at humor and deflection, but she can’t hide the twitch of her lips and she quickly averts her eyes while struggling to swallow a laugh. The tension surrounding them lightens just a bit.

“The one at Akuze…?”

Dread fills him, sinking low in his belly where it churns with the thread of anxiety that never quite left since that day six years before. With every ounce of his being, Shepard fights to maintain a neutral expression. It doesn’t take a genius to see where this conversation is headed. He could cut it off if he wanted – tell her he doesn’t have time for it or that the report he’s working on needs to be completed – but he’s always had an open-door policy with all of his people, and he can’t in good conscience shut it down now, just because of this.

But that doesn’t mean he’s going to volunteer anything up front. Swallowing tightly, he leans back in his seat hoping the shadows mask his face and folds his arms across his chest. “Aye, I was.”

She sits unnaturally still, brown eyes glazed slightly when she looks over at him. It’s clear something is troubling her. He can make a good guess as to what based on her questions so far. Still, he hasn’t gotten this far in his career without learning some patience.

Her lips twist, opening slightly as she drops her gaze to her coffee where her fingers toy with the cup, but no sound comes out. Several minutes pass; she tries again, but nothing.

Sighing, Shepard leans forward. “Williams…”

“I’m – I’m sorry, sir.” The words come out in a rush, tumbling over one another, as she pushes to her feet and grabs her mug. Coffee splashes over the top of the rim onto the back of her hand and she hisses.

“Williams.” This time there is a bit more bite as he says her name, a hint of the commander, not the man. She freezes, half turned away. “Sit down, Chief.” To her credit, there is no hesitation; she drops back onto the chair. Only then does he ease up a little. “Still struggling with what happened to your unit on Eden Prime?”

Refusing to look at him, her head bobs up and down twice. “How… how do you deal with that? With…” She inhales sharply, her head darting back up to him. “With the guilt? With the ghosts?”

Sergeant Angela Nevarra’s face flashes before him, her easy smile matched by a pair of sharp, vibrant, dark eyes. Corporal Kaida Aoki, one of the fiercest – in both fighting and loyalty – people he’s ever known. Private ‘Jim-not-James, sir!’ Weston whose hot temper matched the vibrant red of his hair and reminded Shepard of back home.

Home…

That triggers an altogether different slippery slope, and next he knows, Aoife sneaks in hot on their heels. Never far from his thoughts, she isn’t alone this time, either. Ciara, his first crush; Sean and Brennan, fellow madrai and defenders of Shannon; Colin, Ceannaisi of the Reds…

Shepard’s eyes slam shut and he shakes his head once to chase them away. Now is not the time…

[darklymelanatedstories]

Oh shxt I forgot!! (ft Vegeta&Bulma)

"So what do you think, sir?"

Vegeta gave a small smile and a nod. "It's perfect." He took one more glance at it before covering it up. Vegeta had been planning this for a while. He wanted this to be the best no threatening surprise she'd have that year.

After he's quick check up on his surprise he headed home. When he entered he was greeted by silence, so he assumed all the lazy bums he loved were still asleep. Not that it really mattered. It was 5am anyway. He crept into the room him and Bulma shared and couldn't help but smile when he saw her peacefully resting with drool running down her chin and messy hair and all. How could he love so many perfect imperfections.

Although Bulma wasn't much of an early bird, he did know that sleep was important to the woman so he decided to let her be.

"Hmm, she's been working hard yesterday on her projects and improving the gravity chamber.",Vegeta thought. "Just as well."

Vegeta moved her hair away then kissed her forehead before going down to the kitchen. He tried making her breakfast but ended up with a messy kitchen and broken eggs. Now he had to remind Bulma to buy eggs again. He was sure he made such a noise that he woke the whole neighborhood.

Trunks walked into the room and gave his father puzzled a look.

"Dad..?"

"Don't!",Vegeta exclaimed. Trunks raised his hands up slowly and backed away. Not wanting to be there during his father's frustration.

"Wait boy.",he said. Trunks immediately stopped. "Yes dad?"

"Clean this place up before you mother sees.",Vegeta ordered as he turned to leave. "I'll owe you one."

"Too late." The two jumped at the sudden voice. Vegeta slowly turned towards his wife.

"What the hell happened here?",Bulma questioned as her eyes scanned her ruined kitchen.

"Uh, you see. I was just trying to make you breakfast.",Vegeta explained, a bit embarrassed at his predicament. Bulma looked shocked, her eyes widened. "Really? That's so unlike you." She crossed her arms and raised her brow. "What are you up to? What's the occasion?"

Vegeta furrowed his eyebrows. "You would know. It's a special day today."

Bulma looked like she was even more confused. "What are you talking about?"

"You really don't remember do you?",Vegeta's expression contorted to slight anger. "I can't believe you. After I actually made an effort this time."

"Vegeta." Bulma carefully approached him and attempted to rest her hand on his shoulder. He immediately shrugged her off.

"Are you okay?"

"I'm fine!",he yelled and stomped out.

"What's he so mad about? He's the one that wrecked my kitchen."

Trunks held his chin and thought. He knew there was something special about today.

"Isn't today your anniversary thing?"

Bulma gasped as she realised. How could she forget? And how did Vegeta remember?

"Oh shxt I forgot!!",she muttered then quickly cupped her hands over her mouth as soon as she remembered that Trunks was in the room.

"Don't worry mom. I've heard that word before.",he assured her.

"What!?"

"Nothing.",Trunks quickly walked out of the room. "I think I hear Bulla crying. I better check on her."

Bulma groaned. "Oh, how could I forget our anniversary? I always bug Vegeta about it."

~

"You forgot your anniversary!?" Chi Chi stared at Bulma with shock. "It's not like you." But what shocked her more was the fact that Vegeta even tried cooking.

"Yeah, I was so busy with my current machines that I forgot completely."

Goku walked into the room, he actually heard enough of their conversation to know what was going on.

"Why don't you just say you were pretending to forget to surprise him?" The two woman stared at Goku like he was crazy.

"That's not a bad idea, Goku."

"Yeah. I've used that a bunch of ti–"he stopped as soon as Chi Chi sent him a glare. "I guess I'm just full of good ideas."

"Anyway gotta go. Bye Chi Chi, Bulma.",Goku said as he rushed out of the house.

"Grrr. Goku!" Chi Chi groaned then turned to her blue haired friend. Bulma got up excitedly, hitting her fist into her palm as a plan formed in her genius head.

"I got it!"

"You're seriously gonna do it?"

"Well maybe...but I'm thinking of getting him a large buffet of food. You know how these Saiyans love to eat."

"I guess. But just hope it's better than Vegeta's gift so he won't be too mad."

"I always give the best gifts."

~

"Hey Vegeta." Goku said as he descended next to the Saiyan prince.

"What do you want Kakarot?"

"Happy anniversary." He opened his arms attempting to hug Vegeta but he ended up with a hand on the face pushing him back onto the ground.

"Doesn't feel happy.",he grumbled. "How could she forget. After all my planning."

"Wow. What did you plan?"

"None of your business!"

Goku gave him a sheepish smile as he crossed his legs and scratched the back of his head. They sat in silence for a while as Goku looked up at the sky.

"Well anyway. I say you should still go ahead with it. I mean think of all the times she did amazing things for you. I bet she'd really appreciate this."

Vegeta just grunted. Goku took that as a bit of a sign and got up to leave.

"Well that's all I wanted to say. I better get going. I promised Piccolo I'd train with him."

And with that Goku took off. Vegeta thought for a moment about what he said.

"Not a bad idea."

~

The sun just started setting and Vegeta waited outside in his maroon suit that he didn't really like wearing but it was a special day and it did make him look good.

He had told Goku to bring her around and was getting impatient. What was taking so long?

~

"Goku. I have to get everything ready."

Goku tilted his head. "What exactly are you doing? Planning a party?",he said as he watched people take food and party supplies out of a bunch of vans. "Because you know Vegeta's not a huge fan of those." He chuckled.

Bulma hung her head. "Ugh, I know. I've been so stressed that I'm not even thinking clearly."

"How bout you just bring the food in and come with me?"

"Fine." Bulma told the workers to put everything back except the food. Once that was done, Goku scooped her up and took her where he agreed to meet Vegeta.

~

The sun had set and finally the two have arrived.

"About time.",Vegeta mumbled.

Goku let Bulma down and took off, leaving the two.

"Vegeta look I–"

She was cut off when Vegeta placed his finger on her lips then lifted up her chin. This was the first time she actually saw him properly or her surroundings.

"Nice suit.",she said. Looking around with awe she couldn't help the feelings of excitement and love clearly showing in her body language.

She was in her garden which was beautifully decorated. The lights placed around the flowers lit it up beautifully, even making the pond sparkle. There were fireflies bringing another mix of light into the jars they were jailed in. It reminded Bulma of when she'd go camping with her sister and father.

"Wow." Without saying another word, or any word since she got there, he took her hand and led her to the gazebo in the middle of the garden.

There was some of Bulma's favourite foods and a large bottle of her favourite champagne in a silver bucket of ice.

What drew her attention was the object concealed under a white tarp.

"Vegeta–"

"Before you say anything.",he walked up to the objects. "I know I shouldn't have gotten angry this morning and that you've been stressed out lately. I'm sorry."

"It's fine Vegeta."

He took hold of the tarp. "I also hate doing this sappy stuff so..." He dramatically pulled it off. "Happy anniversary, my love."

Bulma was left speechless. She got closer and Vegeta watched with a smile on her face.

"What do you think?",he asked but he knew she loved it.

"I had it done by that artist you love so much."

In front of Bulma was a beautiful painting of her and Vegeta on their wedding day.

She trapped Vegeta in an embrace and he wrapped his arms around her waist as he pulled her closer.

"I love you."

"Love you too.",he mumbled.

He pulled out of the hug and pulled out a chair for her in the gazebo.

He looked at the amount of food he had prepared for tonight and frowned.

"There's no way this is satisfying me. Damn, now I'm starving for the woman",he thought. He's hunger must've shown on his face because Bulma gave him a knowing look and winked.

"Oh I got that covered." She took her phone out and dialled a number.

"Bring it in guys."

In a matter of seconds people were bringing so much food that there wasn't any space on the table.

Soon Vegeta was stuffing his face.

"Have I told you lately how much I love you?",he said in between chews.

Bulma giggled then looked over at her paintings.

"Yeah, you even showed me."

Fox McCloud of Kongo Bongo Part 1

Hello, beautiful friends. I'm simul-posting this silly fanfic idea I had for a while now. Cause Fox McCloud X Tiny Kong content doesn't exist except for the content I made myself, so I'm making a fic dedicated to my silly Sword & Planet doodle I did some months back.

With all that said, I hope you all enjoy, and sorry for any spelling and grammar faults. I'll fix them after the post if someone points 'em out to me, but this fic is being written by the seat of my pants and pretty casually.

The Lylat System was quiet. It had been a short year since the return of Andross when Fox McCloud and the Star Fox team had stopped Andross from destroying Corneria and taking over the system. Fox McCloud, leader of Team Star Fox, was piloting his Arwing past Sector X. The strange nebula was once the secret base for Andross and his operations during the First Lylat War, but now the odd cosmic cloud in the shape of a cross was just a quiet landmark through the system. At least, so it should.

[This is Pepper. Come in, Fox.]

Fox gave a tired grunt, losing his concentration and focus as he reached for the communicator strapped to his head and flipped it on. "You're clear, Peppy."

[Are ya seein' anything there, Fox?]

"That's a negative." Fox said as he checked his instruments again. "I'm still getting those weird readings that Slippy picked up, but I'm not seeing anything."

[Ya shoulda waited at the Great Fox like I told ya, Fox.]

Fox gave a roll of his eyes as he said, "Peppy, stop worrying so much." After the return of Andross every low life of the system seemed to go into hiding. True peace was still out of reach, and there was always work for the members of Team Star Fox, but finding any big named criminals who tried to fill the same niche Andross were hard to come by. In a way, Fox didn't like this; as a mercenary, he lived to fight. Was it wrong to think that way? Most certainly; peace in the Lylat System, where no little kid lost their father like he did, was the ultimate goal. But he needed food on the table like anyone else did.

[Wolf O'Donnell is still at large, Fox. He could be setting up a trap for ya.]

Cap'n Wolf O'Donnel, the name rang in Fox's ear. He could still see the burning, red scar on that wolf's face, the yellow of his eyes burning into his own. Out of all the mercenaries Andross hired to take him and Miyu out, Wolf was probably the best. His equal in almost every way and nearly sent him to his doom. It was the most intense fight Fox had ever been in; for the first time in his life, Fox truly feared that he was gonna die.

And yet, ever since then, there's been a hole in his chest that he couldn't quiet fill.

"If Wolf's out there, then I'll be ready for him."

[Fox, you're-]

"End transmission." Fox didn't wait for a reply, turning off his head piece. He wasn't in the mood to keep listening to Peppy badger him over this; besides, if Wolf was out here, then he would've shown his face by now, right? There wasn't anywhere to hide in Sector X, it wasn't anything by burning gas and bright light.

"One more pass around." Fox told himself, initiating another scan. If nothing was here, then he should turn back and head back for the Great Fox. At least, that's what he should do, but he was in no real rush to make it back to Peppy and listen to him nag his ear off. He cruised around Sector X thinking about how he'd rather go to Titania. There's a nice little saloon there, perfect place to refuel his Arwing and drink his problems away. Just the thought of Titania ale was tempting Fox to ditch his mission. It was weird; he wasn't much of a drinker before, by after the first Lylat War, he grew a taste for alcohol.

Suddenly, Fox jerked the controls on his Arwing, suddenly him into a dive just in time to avoid a photon shot. His instincts kicked in just in time, but where the hell did that come from?! He looked on his radar, seeing nothing, but then looked to see an incoming transmission message. He didn't even patch it through or have the chance to reject the message when a scarred face appeared on screen.

"Hello, pup."

"Wolf!" Fox growled as he glanced up, seeing the lone, quad-wing ship cut through the unforgiving void as he rocketed right for the vulpine pilot. Fox bared his fangs, starting to charge right for Wolf like a demented game of chicken. "I knew you were skulking about these parts!"

"And I knew you'd come with the right bait." Wolf chuckled, his shields deflecting Fox's photon shots as he fired back with his own. "And now it's time I pay back the debt I racked up back on Macbeth."

With some expert barrel rolls, Fox was able to deflect Wolf's own shots, the two ships crossing the other's paths.

"Not to mention I'm paying you back for killing the rest of my team." Wolf snarled, spinning his ship around and beginning to chase Fox through space. His ship let out rapid volleys of hot orange shots on Fox's tail, but Fox managed to evade each shot. Fox could feel Wolf gritting his teeth as he managed to evade each shot. It was like Fox had eyes on the back of his head and Wolf couldn't get a clean shot!

[Fox, come in! Fox! Fox, answer me!]

Meanwhile, Fox couldn't shake Wolf from his tail; it was like Wolf was glued on! He tried to perform a somersault, but Wolf was right behind him, gunning for his engines. He felt his air form a lump in his throat; Wolf was giving him no chance to breath or get any space to counter attack.

"Get back here, brat!" Wolf called out, but Fox was too focused to be distracted or baited by the bounty hunter.

[H-hey! F-Fox, can you hear-ribbit?!]

"Want me?! Come and get me!" Fox called back at Wolf. With a well-timed barrel role, he deflected Wolf's volley of shots and slammed the breaks. Wolf flew right past him and was reading right for the burning mass that was Sector X before Fox chased Wolf down. Now that the tables had turned, Fox was going for the kill, charging up a photon shot that he aimed right for Wolf's engine, prepared to finish off his rival once and for-

[HEY GENIUS! WHAT ARE YA DOIN'?! GET OUTTA THERE!]

Falco's shrieking in Fox's ear piece made him release his shot just before the charge was done, nailing Wolf right in the back of his ship, just missing his engine. Wolf started to climb up and get away, but Fox was more focused on the ringing in his ear. It felt like a siren was blaring with how loud it was.

"...Wait, that's not my ear." Fox flinched as he looked at his were going crazy! Before he could decipher what was happening, a sudden, brighter light came from Sector X. In the center of the nebula's glowing cross appeared,a void of purple light that began to swell and open up.

"A Worm Hole!" Fox realized it too late! He tried to pull away, but this Worm Hole was sucking him in! His controls were starting to lock up; try as Fox might, but he couldn't escape the gravity field the Worm Hole was projecting! It was like a hand had grabbed his ship and started to pull him in by force!

"What is this?! I can't get away!" Wolf shouted, doing no better as his ship was being lured right into the vortex as well.

Fox couldn't think; Wolf's screaming and the Arwing blaring were growing more and more distant as they fell closer to the Worm Hole. His life was starting to flash before his eyes; Fox thought that fear would grip his heart, yet he was oddly calm. Life, death; they didn't seem to matter anymore. Or, rather, Fox felt ready to embrace his fate. Day to day life felt more and more like a chore for the mercenary. And while he didn't rush towards death, he wasn't against letting it come to him. As the light began to fade and sound turn to nothingness, Fox felt ready to embrace death like a bride.

And then, nothingness.

This wasn't the first time Fox had entered a Warp Zone, but this was different from the last time.

The last time, back in the first Lylat War, was a constant bombardment of light and sound. Blues and pinks, odd sounds that made Fox think of some odd, old-school music. It was dizzying back then, yet it felt oddly natural. As if nothing was weird at all; or maybe the odd Warp Zone was manipulating him though the protective hull of his Arwing, making him feel relaxed when any sign man would be panicking and screaming, crashing their ship to any and every piece of debris in the void in a misguided attempt to confirm if what they were being subjected to was real or just a dream they couldn't wake up from.

It wasn't like that this time at all; in fact, it was the exact opposite. Fox couldn't see anything, it was all dark. It wasn't black as night or even dark like space. There was no source of any light, not even from his Arwing. He couldn't see his own hand even if it was trembling in front of his own face. He couldn't hear anything either; not Wolf's screaming, not that he could tell if he was or not, not the alarms his Arwing should've been giving off, not even the sound of his own heart.

He couldn't feel anything either. Not the taste of his own spit, not the seat he was sure he was still sitting in, nor the controls his hands wouldn't let go of with his vice-like grip. Fox felt as though he was cramped inside of his cockpit, yet weightless, and his sad attempt to anchor himself in place was useless. Was this what death was like or was this just the odd void he was trapped in.

How long would he be here? Would he die here? Could he die here? And just how long has he been here? At first, he thought it was just five minutes, but at the same time, he felt that he had been floating here for five hours. It was getting so bad that Fox couldn't tell if he was even still in the cockpit. Was he awake? Thinking in his sleep? Were his eyes even open?

CRASH!

Suddenly, all of his senses hit him like a hammer upside the head. A low groan escaped Fox's muzzle; he wanted to feel something, but now it was pain. His body felt sore and stiff; it felt like he had slept all day and hadn't moved a muscle, but somehow worse. Like he was stuck in his cockpit for weeks. His eyes slowly peeled open with a groan as a setting sun's light pierced his retinas like a hot laser.

With a grimace, the fox blindly reached across the console to open the hatch to his cockpit. His ears twitched anxiously with the lack of any cockpit opening sounds. As his eyes adjusted to the light, he tried to press the button again, but noticed how it felt through his leather glove.

Cold.

His console felt ice cold. The Arwing wasn't running. Fox tried to fire it up, but he didn't even catch the sputter of the engine.

"Great. My Arwing's dead..." Fox grunted as he adjusted his seat. With a hard kick of his metallic leg, Fox kicked the glass shielding off of his Arwing before he dragged himself out. Popping his neck and shoulders, Fox looked around. He was on some kind of beach, but this didn't look like any beach he knew. The sand was black as night and gave a beautiful, if not ominous, shine under the setting, red sun. He looked ahead of him, seeing crimson waves push and as high tide began to set in. Behind him, a massive jungle, but there were smoke stacks poking from the tree line. Black clouds of smog began were pouring into the air, obscuring Fox's view from looking beyond the trees.

"Where in Lylat am I...?" Fox mumbled, but he questioned if he was really still in the Lylat System at this point. He reached for his head piece and began to speak. "Fox to the Great Fox, do you hear me guys?" He was met with a chorus of static in his ears. "Great, my Arwing's dead and now I can't even call for help." Just as Fox thought things couldn't get worse, he heard something.

Marching?

Fox pulled out his blaster, turning behind him and preparing to fire a warning shot, but was promptly met with a pair of larger guns pointing at his face. They looked crude and rudimentary as opposed to his own blaster, but they were not only much bigger, but there were five crocodiles pointing what looked like brass-and-steel blunderbusses at Fox's head, florescent tubes sticking out of the sides of their guns.

"Don't even think about it, furball." The croc snarled, his body bulging with muscles covered by mostly green scales. "Drop your blaster and come quietly or your hide will make a nice rug."

"Oh damn..."

Day 19: Blind Date (Sasuhina Month 2019)

@sasuhinamonth

Hinata scrutinised her reflection in the mirror. She looked a little tired, but way better than this morning, when she came back home after her 24 hour shift at the hospital. Her friend and fellow nurse Karui went into labour, and she had to cover for her. But after a good sleep followed by a long soak in the tub, she felt much much better.

But as the elevator went down, her spirit and confidence was wavering. Was she really ready to put herself out into the dating world again? It had been more than two years since her divorce, and this was her first date since then. 

She had been casually asked out a few times, her friends had even tried to set her up, but she had declined every time. If vulnerability was the roadblock in the beginning, utter placidity in her routine life became the issue subsequently. She just did not want to come out of her shell and venture out into unknown waters. Until Tenten was all up in arms about it. 

Reluctantly, she agreed to be set up on a blind date. The less she knew about the man she was going to meet, the better, it wouldn't give her an excuse to reject him before even meeting him. All Tenten said was-

'He is tall, absolutely gorgeous and a genius to boot… You're going to be blown away'. 

All good, all nice.

She had worn a simple solid navy fit and flare dress, with a long beige mac . It might have been a tad too simple, but she didn't have anything else in her wardrobe that seemed date worthy. Especially for dinner at a nice seafood and champagne bar.

'This is fine. You look fine. Don' t stress yourself. '

She repeated the mantra to herself as she went out of the lobby to the uber waiting for her. 

--

When Tenten said that she was going to be blown away, she wasn't joking, Hinata realised. 

Yes, he was extremely handsome.

And very tall.

He might even be a genius like she had mentioned. 

But one thing she clearly forgot to specify was his age. Dressed in distressed jeans, tee shirt and a seemingly expensive varsity jacket, complete with a pair of sneakers, he looked a lot younger than what she had imagined her date to be.

"Hyuuga Hinata?"

His deep voice made her snap out of her reverie. The maitre`d who had shown her to his table, moved out of the way to let the two of them meet.

She saw his outstretched hand and gingerly moved forward to shake it. 

"Y-Yes.. That's me."

His lips quirked in amusement, when she let go of his firm grip. 

"Nice to meet you Hinata."

"Umm.. And you." 

Her head was buzzing in confusion, what had Tenten got her into? 

She felt his hand on her lower back, as he directed her towards the elegant brown couch. Declining his offer, she could excuse herself from this date, but it would create a scene and would be extremely rude to the young man. Whatever miscommunication there had been, now it was on her to set things straight in a mature dignified way.

She sat down and noticed the black backpack next to the man, who had now taken off his jacket and it gave her the view of the tattoo at his nape, and the one on his left forearm. She whimpered inwardly, this was so so not the way she had imagined her evening going.

"I'm sorry if this sounds rude… But are you really Itachi? U-Uchiha Itachi??"

The man smirked at her.

"Is there any reason I wouldn't be?"

"Umm… Honestly, I was expecting someone older than you. Much older.", she replied honestly. 

"Aa. So, you're into older men.", he didn't ask, he stated. 

"What?!!.. N-No..", she blushed at his insinuation. "I just meant that I was expecting someone who was closer to my age, than say…. my younger sister's."

The man chuckled and leaned forward. "And how old do you think I am?"

Was this some sort of game to him? 

"I don't know… 22 maybe?"

"Close. I'm 21."

Hinata rubbed her forehead in distress. She couldn't believe her luck. Or lack thereof. 

A waiter came to take their order. She saw Itachi confidently asked for some drinks and appetizers. If he was 21, and also judging by the backpack, he must be going to some college. An expensive date like this was not something that everyone could afford, let alone a college kid. Or maybe he was just filthy rich. Either way, she did not plan to stay for long, so she spoke up to clear the air. 

"Look Itachi… I'm sorry, but I think there has been some confusion between Tenten and your friend Gai who set us up.", she did not want to mislead the young man. She leaned forward and lowered her tone. "I don't know if you were told this, but I'm…. I'm a divorcee and about 7 years older than you…. ."

"I already knew that you were a divorcee and probably older than me."

"T-then why are you here?", she asked him as if he wasn't making any sense.

He chuckled confidently and reclined in his seat. "For the same reason as you."

"But.. You can easily get girls your age…"

"I don't care about age… Does it bother you though?"

She looked down at her clasped hands. "I've never thought about it before."

"Then don't think about it now."

The drinks were served promptly, and Hinata tried to relax. One date wouldn't hurt. It's not like this was illegal, but as much as Itachi seemed like a treat for the eyes, Hinata had her reservations about anything serious or long term with a guy who was probably still in college. 

"Umm… What college do you go to?"

"Tokyo University…. I'm in the final year of an advanced dual degree business management course." 

"Oh… No wonder Tenten said you were a genius", she asked sipping from her flute.

"Yeah… No wonder.", he laughed dryly. "What do you do?", he asked her. 

As the night went on, Hinata felt more relaxed and just enjoyed the pleasant conversation with Itachi. He seemed quite nice and did not try to delve into matters too close to her heart. He also seemed very mature for his age, especially with the way he limited his drink because he was his own ride back home. 

She remembered Kiba, her close friend, and his antics when they were 21. All he cared about was sports, his dog, partying and sleeping with as many women as he could. That's how most guys were at 21, she remembered. 

Itachi also looked like someone who would have a lot of experience with girls or women. He did not fumble around, he was quite sure of himself. He did not try to explicitly flirt with her, but she noticed how he intently stared at her or his appreciative glance at her face or body. It was oddly flattering to know that she was appealing to someone like him, but she didn't let that feeling go to her head. She was the older one, she had to make the wise decision. 

Once dinner was over, she insisted on sharing the bill. It would just be weird, if she made him pay for the whole meal, when he was not even working full time.

Going out in the cool autumn night, she wrapped her coat closer to her body. She felt his hand wrap around her elbow, stopping her. 

"Can I drop you home?", he asked her. 

"I can take a cab, don't worry.", she did not want to stretch this date anymore than she had to.

"No. It's quite late, and I will feel reassured if I see you get home safely."

Hinata felt her insides melt at the concerned tone of Itachi. She always felt giddy when a man was protective about her.

When she saw his bike, she felt a drop in the pit of her stomach. She had never sat on a bike before, like never ever. And it made her very nervous. 

"Everything okay?", he asked her as he put his helmet on. 

"I-I've never sat on a bike before.", she confessed awkwardly. "And… I'm not sure if I should, with a dress on."

"You'll be fine. Just tuck your dress in under your thighs when you sit, and hold on tight.", he suggested. 

He waited patiently for her to sit comfortably behind him. 

When the engine roared on ignition, she couldn't help but shift closer to Itachi's back. And when he accelerated, she felt her heart burst out of her chest. It took her a minute to get used to the fast ride, and another to actually enjoy the thrill of it. The elevation on her seat, was the only way she could see above his shoulders at the nearly empty night road, as she gave him the direction to her apartment. 

When they stopped at the destination, it felt like it was over too quickly. Nevertheless, it was an absolutely refreshing new experience for her.

"Wow… That was amazing.", she exclaimed as she got off the bike. "I really enjoyed it. Thank you."

She ran a hand through her wind swept hair, as he took off his helmet. 

"You're welcome. I had a good time tonight."

She smiled shyly. "Yeah, me too."

The next second, her body was pulled close to his and his lips were on hers. It wasn't a peck, it wasn't a smooch, it was so much more than that. 

She almost cursed in her head, for how good a kisser he was. Like crazy good. And the adrenaline rushing through her veins made her respond to his onslaught. One of his hand ran up and down her back, while the other grasped on to her neck, as he brought her even closer to him. 

It got feverish, their liplock was turning into something too indecent for public display. Her good sense was scant, but somehow she managed to push on his shoulders, the same hands that were gripping at it a few seconds back.

"What?", he seemed as breathless as she was. 

"…. I...I can't…", she replied as she gulped some air. 

"Why not?", he frowned at her. 

"You…. are too young… for me." She shook her head and took a few steps back. "I'm sorry if I mislead you… And also for that kiss.." 

"I kissed you."

"And I should have stopped you.", she rubbed her forehead trying to calm her erratic nerves. She had never felt so out of sorts with a mere kiss.

"Look Itachi, it really was nice meeting you.. But I am looking for something long term.." 

Itachi shrugged his shoulders. "I can do long term."

"No… No… Listen, get someone your age, there are so many pretty girls out there who would love to be with you."

"I think you're beautiful.", he replied, making her speechless. "And hot."

She was still processing his compliments, when he pecked her lips. "Think about it atleast. I know I will."

He smirked at her, before putting on his helmet and accelerating off.

--

"What??!!!" 

Tenten's scream echoed through her home. 

"I know.. How could you not tell me you were setting me up with a 21 year old??... That's a pretty big piece of information, that I should've been made aware of.", Hinata said indignantly, as she plopped down on her couch. 

"Hold on hold on… 21 years old??... Are you sure you met the right man?", Tenten asked her doubtfully. 

"What do you mean?... Itachi said it himself."

"Itachi…. Uchiha Itachi is not 21 years old… He is close to being about 30, definitely not 21. He is the youngest partner at the Akatsuki law firm."

Hinata was totally confused. "What?.. Then why would he lie to me?... He said he was in his final year at Tokyo University… A-and the way he was even dressed like it, jeans and tee, spiky hair with tattoos…" 

"Spiky hair? Tattoos?", Tenten's eyes widened in realisation. She got her phone out and swiftly swiped through some images on her phone. When she found what she was looking for, she held out the phone to her and showed her a group picture of some men and Tenten herself at the gym she worked at.

"Do you recognize anyone here?", she asked her. 

Hinata focused on the picture. "There's you, and Lee…. I don't know anyone else."

"Hinata…",Tenten was shocked. She pointed at the silver haired man. "That's Kakashi.", then at the older clone of Lee, "That's Gai." and finally at the tall, long haired man on the side with deep set eyes. "And that's Itachi."

Hinata gasped at the revelation. "That's not him. That's not the man I met."

"I know. And I think I know who the imposter is too.", Tenten said shrewdly. She opened her messaging app and quickly typed a message off to someone. Seconds later, her phone beeped with an incoming message. 

"Aha!!"

The phone was again thrust in front of her face for her to see the new image.

"T-That's him.", Hinata replied recognizing the man in the picture standing beside the real Itachi. "That's the man I met. Who is he?" 

"That's Sasuke. Uchiha Sasuke. Itachi's younger brother.", Tenten replied with the smugness of a detective who had unravelled an important mystery.

"His brother?!!... B-but why would he do that? Why would they do that?"

"Don't worry, that's something for me to find out.", Tenten assured her.

--

Itachi walked into his room without knocking, which was a rare thing. Sasuke took off his headphones and looked up from his book. 

"You're back early.", he greeted his older brother. 

"I gave you one job. And you botched it. Why did you not do exactly what I had asked you to on the date with Hyuuga Hinata??", he asked him in a reprimanding tone.

"Oh, so you already know about it."

"Yes, Tenten, the lady who set us up gave me an earful after we, apparently, made a fool out of her friend."

Sasuke shrugged his shoulders. "I didn't make a fool out of her."

"You sure did something that would make her think so.", Itachi huffed out impatiently. "All I wanted you to do was tell the kind lady that I had to fly out urgently on business at the very short notice like I actually had to, treat her to a nice meal and tell her that I will make plans to meet her on my return."

"That's not going to be possible anymore." 

"Why?" 

"I actually like her."

"You like her.", Itachi repeated, a little surprised by his brother's confession. 

"Yes. I like her. I also kissed her. And I intend to speak to her again."

Itachi pointed his forefinger at him. "You will do no such thing. Not until you first tell what exactly happened. Now, from the very beginning."

--

Hinata was finishing her routine checks around the ward, when she was called out by a fellow nurse, Samui.

"There's someone asking for you at the reception Hinata."

"At the reception?" 

"That's right. Off you go, I'll cover for you."

"Thanks Samui."

When she turned around the corner to the reception, she saw the familiar figure of the one man she did not want to see again. 

"What are you doing here?", she folded her arms when he approached closer. 

"Hi Hinata.", he greeted her with a small smile. 

"Hi Sasuke.", she enunciated his name.

"I've come here to apologize for not telling you the truth that day. I'm sorry."

Hinata found the receptionist looking back and forth between the two of them, so she signalled him to go to one corner. 

"You don't need to apologize, your brother already did so yesterday."

"Itachi was here yesterday?", he seemed a little disconcerted by the information. 

"No. He called me. We will meet up next weekend though.", she didn't know why she felt like sharing the detail. 

"You are going to meet my brother? For what?", he didn't seem very pleased about it.

"What does it matter to you?" 

"Are you really going to go on a date with my brother after you kissed me??", he narrowed his eyes at her. 

She flushed when he reminded her of the amazing kiss that they'd shared, when she was actively trying to forget about it.

"You kissed me…. And I believe you also had an entertaining time making a complete fool out of me…", she said indignantly. 

"I wasn't trying to make a fool out of you. I really do like you."

"Well, forgive me if I find it hard to believe you.", she turned back to see some of the staff spying on them. "I think we are done here."

"I am not done.", he retaliated. 

"This is a hospital and my workplace.", she hissed at him. "Unless you are actually hurt or need medical attention, I don't want to see you here."

She turned around and walked away from him.

--

Two days later. 

"Hinata, there's a man with a bleeding hand who is not letting anyone help him. He is only asking for you.", this time it was a newbie named Matsuri who called her. 

"What??!!... Who- Nevermind.Take me to him."

Hinata rushed behind Matsuri and reached the bed that was surrounded by a lot of nurses, speaking and pleading over each other to help the patient. When she pushed past them, she saw a stoic Sasuke with glass shards stuck in his hand. He waved his other hand at her. 

"Hey.. You said to come see you when I get hurt."

She gasped out loud and pulled his arm carefully to inspect it. She turned to Matsuri and asked her to cover for her, as she pulled a chair and grabbed a pair of sterilised tweezers to take out the shards. The remaining nurses dispersed on seeing her get to work. 

"How did this happen?", she asked him. 

"I crushed a glass with my hand.", he replied nonchalantly. 

"Why?", she gave him a quick glance and found his eyes glued on her. 

"To see you. Apparently they only let people with urgent medical condition into the emergency ward."

Hinata was flabbergasted at his words. "Please tell me you are joking.", she whispered nervously. 

"I'm not."

"Oh God…", she closed her eyes for a moment, before continuing her work. "You need a therapist." 

"Why?", he didn't seem to even wince much at the plucking motion. 

"Because you are crazy. Half mad, that's what you are. How could you even think of hurting yourself for something so silly."

"Probably because I've never wanted a woman as much as you."

Hinata would've melted into a puddle, if she could. This strange man had a knack of saying things that just got to her.

With all the shards out, she quickly cleaned his wounds. 

"I still stand by what I said. You are crazy.", she softly reprimanded him. 

"Are you still going on that date with Itachi?" 

She suddenly felt guilty for letting him believe a false notion. "Itachi only offered to treat me to a nice dinner, it wasn't an invitation for a date. He said that he couldn't do that to his brother."

Sasuke smirked at her and nodded. "Aa… He is a good brother.. What about you then?" 

Hinata gave him a weak smile. "You're wasting your time on someone like me Sasuke."

"Stop discrediting yourself. Tell me what you want."

Her hands mechanically dressed his wounded hand, while her mind was occupied by the warring thoughts. If she were honest, she did want to give him a chance. But it was absolutely foolish to agree to a relationship that might already have an expiration date. How long until he would realise she has too much emotional baggage? How long until he finds her boring, just like her ex-husband did?

"You might regret this Sasuke."

In spite of all her warnings, he remained firm and nodded his head. "Let me be the judge of that."

She sighed and closed her eyes for a moment to just let go of her inhibitions, consequences be damned. 

"Fine."

"Fine?", Sasuke quirked his eyebrow up. 

"Fine. I'll go out with you. Don't complain that I didn't give you the full disclaimer later."

"I won't.", the corner of his lips lifted in a devilish smirk and he leaned in to kiss her. 

Only to be stopped by her palms. 

"This is my workplace.", she bit her lips shyly. 

But when she saw him staring hungrily at her lips, she quickly looked around to see if they were being watched, and when the coast seemed clear, she pulled him close by his shirt.

Dear Anonniiee~....

"Clint call the doctor's pronto. Natasha get...."

Everything became a blur for everyone since then. People were on autopilot trying to bring back Tony. He was rushed to the medical suite and almost died on the table a couple of times. There were times everywhere after managing to get Tony back to an alright stable condition.

What felt like an hour or so later everyone was gathered around as the doctor took a look at the notes.

"he is alright and the baby is now in a somewhat stable condition"

Steve was the first to speak up as everyone was stunned into silence trying to process what they just heard.

"I'm sorry what did you say? That can't be right"

"I'm sorry I thought you all knew"

Natasha stepped up looking at the doctor like she was going to interrogate him.

"he has been coming to me for a couple of months now. He said that he had already told everyone but wanted to keep it as a surprise for bu- what's going on?"

"what do you mean what's going on? We should be asking you that. I know you were about to say bucky. What has he got to do with any of this?"

"fine let's share stories. When Tony and Bucky first met they instantly connected. Next thing you know Bucky helps Tony through his heat. A day later a baby is rapidly growing in his tummy."

"what do you mean rapidly growing?"

"well a mix between Starks extremis and Barnes' super serum this baby Is slightly growing faster than a normal baby. Tony is looking at 3 more months until Tony gives birth rather than 6 months"

Steve feels like his gonna be sick. No one told him anything. If he had known then maybe none of this would have happened.

"Steve are you okay?"

Steve looks worryingly at the doctor before sighing. It's better that everyone heard what happened now then find out in the future.

"over 2 months ago when we had that fight in the airport, that wasn't the only time we fought."

"oh god I remember that. I helped Wanda send cars on top of him. Oh god the stress he went through between us and the acc- wait what do you mean wasn't the only time?"

"zemo showed Tony what really happened to his parents"

"Jesus Steve when we found out I told you to tell him."

"I couldn't do it Nat. I wanted to keep him happy and protected."

"just because you were in love with the man doesn't mean you should lie or keep secrets"

"woah woah woah in love? Parents? What the hell is going on?"

"Tony found out that Bucky killed his parents and that I kept him from him. He didn't take it to well and sent me flying to the ground. Next thing you it's a 2 v 1 all guns blazing. Wait! Doc he took so many punches to the stomach and a shield to tje chest. Not to mention flying in that suit! The baby couldn't have survived that"

"we thought so too. If anyone payed close attention to Tony's stomach then you would have seen a glow on his stomach. The baby healed itself using extremis"

"oh cool kinda like the doc in Doctor who with all that nano energy mumbo jumbo what was is called again?"

"doctor what now?"

"oh my god once Tony has healed and we all have a civilly stern talk with one Anthony stark about how we are going to bundle him up and lock him awa- hold up now. Woah woah woah back the frick frack paddy wack up TONY'S AN OMEGA!?!"

Everyone facepalmed at the sudden realization too busy worrying about Tony and the baby that it suddenly crossed their mimds thanks to the class clown Clint.

"yeah I thought you all knew. I mean Bucky did"

"ahhh soul mates. Never question a bond when it's a soulmates bond. They know everything about each other after meeting for just a split second. I love watching shows and movies based around those types of plots."

"okay so tony is actually an omega and not a beta. The only omega on a team filled with just alphas. I'm guessing he had suppressants. Has a secret thing with Bucky. Has his own secret thing which has cost him his life. Almost lo-"

"Jesus what is with us cutting off our sentences when we realize something. What's the matter?"

"from what pepper has been telling me, Tony has been under alot of stress lately. He hasn't been eating and sleeping well. I'm guessing it was taking a toll on the baby?"

"yes that is correct"

"great then I as the greatest man to ever live the oh so great cl- ow!"

"just get on with it"

"Clint Barton! Has decided we bring back the helper of this mess. I'm sure he can leave or bring his pet goat I don't mind but the thing hates me as an FYI. Ok ok put your hands down I don't need a group slapping session thanks. Anyway, we sit Tony down and we have a group meeting followed by a family bonding time. Let's clear the air, especially between Tony and Bucky because there is going to be alot of tension."

"what do you mean oh wise clint Barton?"

"it doesn't take a genius to figure it out. Dude they must have bonded their first night together completely. Like bite and everything. It must have been hard for Tony with all his omega and baby hormones and then the stress of us and the accords to finding out information he should have known in the first place"

"not to mention the asshole who caused all of this not only fought him and almost killed him but also broke the bond and left him in this mess a couple of months later without so much as a call or letter"

"Bucky when did you get here? How much did you hear?"

"heard all of it Stevie. Got here the moment something happened. Friday called Shuri when I was down in the gym. Stephen was there to help out with a project she was working on so he portaled me right here. How's he doing doc?"

"he's in a stable condition now. How about everyone get settled down, have a bite to eat...."

"how about goat curry? Ow! Would you guys stop it"

"no I think not"

After everyone settles down they leave the medical suite and go watch a movie to calm themselves down.

It's not until the next day when everyone woke up to a shocked voice.

"what are all of you doing in my room?"

Everyone rushes up and hugs Tony giving him a good old group hug.

"okay have I gone through a time machine? Or did I get sent to a different reality? Friday?"

"I'm here boss. No you are still in the same timeline. This is what people call a group hug"

"better watch that sass before I remove it in your next upgrade and replace it with a water pistol"

"that will so much better because I can't sass fire off of you when you experiment"

"my own baby is talking back to me. I am shocked"

"I learned from the best boss"

"damn straight you have now can some one please tell me whats going on he-oomph"

Everyone stares in shock as a teary eyed Clint kisses the life out of Tony and while Tony is in shock Clint bites Tony's bond mark causing the smaller man to Yelp.

"wow I'm the youngest here, completely pregnant and this is how I'm treated"

Tony gets another shock as a growl comes out of Clint's mouth before he is slammed onto the bed. He gets a cry baby sitting on his lap leaving kisses all over his face.

"I'm sorry for leaving you, for going against you, for not listening to you, for demanding to much, for bullying you, for putting huge amounts of stress on you, for beig so angry at you when I was actually angry at the government, for hurting you, for saying nasty shit and for possibly being the worst best friend anyone could ever have. Please please please forgive me. I promise I won't bring harm to you ever again. if you can't trust me now then at least, actually it would be better if you don't trust me now. I just bit your bond mark and kissed you without permission"

"you think you moron?"

"well obviously I wasn't thinking. That's how we became best friends right? Because we don't think? Speaking of thinking"

Clint starts slapping Tony's thighs

"WHAT WERE YOU THINKING PUTTING YOU AND YOUR BABY AT RISK YOU STUPID BRATTY PIECE OF SHIT! AS SOON AS WE SAY WHAT WE HAVE TO SAY THEN I AM ORDERING UP LARGE AND FORCE FEEDING YOU FOR THE LAST 3 MONTHS! Who's next!?!"

Natasha ripped a pouting Clint away before she ruffled Tony's hair and kissed his cheek smiling.

"I think Pepper would get angry if I marked you"

"2 fiery red heads filled with love for each other. Can only imagine what a fight between you two would look like"

"even though she is an omega she is a fiery hot headed one. Hmmmm I remember when I thought she was just a beta. Kinda reminds me of someone I know"

"okay I can explain"

"explain later for right now"

Sam comes jumping on Tony and sobs his heart out.

"im so sorry Tony. You know I didn't mean any of it. Neither did vision. It was just a poorly executed mess"

"you do realize I'm not the one you should be saying sorry to for that"

"I know. I apologized to vision and well you know how Rhodey gets"

"hey don't worry Sam. Don't give up. He'll come around. Rhodey has forgiven me and doesn't blame me for it. He at least talked to me. I don't know what's wrong with T'Challa"

"like I said Sam, he'll come around"

"I hope so. Just know that if you really truly forgive me then you would name your baby after me"

"wait how"

"don't worry about it. Any way come on Clint, Nat let's get our of here for this one"

Clint pouts and makes grabby hands for Tony as he gets dragged out by Nat.

Tonys heart stops as he sees one of the people he doesn't want to see. He stands up and his hand goes straight to his chest. Face hardens as he looks directly into the blondes eyes.

"please don't put your walls up. I promise I won't hurt you ever again"

"I don't trust you"

"then I'll take my time to earn your trust back and wait patiently. For now please just hear me out"

"now why would I do that Steve? Did you ever listen to me?"

"ouch okay yeah I deserve that. What I also should have deserved was you actually showing off your strength and kill me in siberia. That's the least I deserve for what I put you through"

"Steve look. What happened back there wasn't just your fault but all of ours. We butted heads instead of talking it out like a family"

"but your parents"

"I am extremely hurt because of that. I wouldn't have been that bad if you had told me in the first place. As you can see I wasn't angry at Bucky. I was angry at Hydra for turning him into their bitch, I was angry because instead of hearing it from someone I care alot about, I hear it from the monitor set up by a damn villain. I was angry because no one listened to me about what I can do if everyone signed. Even team iron Man spoke against me, then again at least they stood by my side"

"okay okay I deserve that too"

"damn right you do. Look I'm not in a place to send or receive forgiveness yet. Hell none of us do but that shouldn't stop any of from working tofuckengether and finding out where on God's green earth is the bloody hulk and Thor because then that airport battle would have been awesome!"

"that's not fair"

"why isn't it fair?"

"because then banner wouldn't want to participate and the hulk would have been on your side while Thor protects his omega from getting hurt thus realizing he will need to be on team iron Man because of the hulk. We would have been outnumbered. Not to mention my ex chose you over me"

"don't regret it"

"but I do"

"why?"

Elemental Wars Book Of Wishes Chapter IX: Hoshino Labyrinth|Zero Astaroth On A Rampage

Saturday morning at the entrance of the unknown place, Junis asked Sally a important question about the place. "Uh Sally, What is this place?" "This place is called Hoshino Labyrinth."

"How to enter it?" "The only way to enter it is this." "What is that device used for?" "To Blend in because there are Guards called Shadow Lynx."

"They are guarding the book called The Book Of Wishes." Junis was surprised when Sally mentioned Book Of Wishes. "You don't mean that book." "Yes that book, why?" "It's the book that the mystery man is after."

"Where is the book?" "In the Last Tower." "There are Seven Sacred Stars located here, you need the Star Senor to find all seven sacred stars." Sally gave Junis the star senor.

"Also two more things, there are seven Towers that is same color as the seven sacred stars." "there are 7 Onyx knights guarding each star in each tower."

"Finally, there are all 7 sacred stars in order, 1st Sacred Star is Amber, 2nd Sacred Star is Ruby, 3rd Sarced Star is Emerald, 4th Sacred Star is Jade, 5th Sacred Star is Ametrine, 6th Sacred Star is Amethyst, and 7th Sacred Star is Pearl."

"Any questions before you get the book?" Junis shook his head, puts on the Lynx Virtual Reality Headset (LVRH), and puts the Star Sensor in his right pocket. "Another thing, when you obtained the Book Of Wishes, bring it to me so I can turn everything back to normal."

"I won't let you down, Salina Hoshina, see you soon." Junis said. He looked at the sensor, he went West, reached to the Amber Tower, and entered the Amber seeing the 1st Onyx Knight guarding the Amber Star.

He took out his blade, fought him, and defeated him. He obtained the Amber Star and left.

He went Southeast, reached to the Ruby Tower, entered the Ruby Tower, he saw the 2nd Onyx Knight guarding the Ruby Star, he defeated him, obtained the Ruby Star and left.

He went Southwest, reached the Emerald Tower, went inside and see the 3rd Onyx Knight guarding the Emerald Star.

He defeated him, obtained the Emerald Star, and left.

He went East, reached to the Jade Tower, went inside and sees the 4th Onyx Knight guarding the Jade Star.

He had a tough time defeating him because he's very difficult than the previous knights. He figured his weak spot, defeated him and obtained the Jade Star and left.

He went Northwest, avoided the two Shadow Lynx, reached the Ametrine Tower, he saw the 5th Oynx Knight, defeated him, obtained the Ametrine Star, and left.

He went Northeast, avoided the two Shadow Lynx, reached the Amethyst Tower, he saw the 6th Oynx Knight, defeated him, obtained the Amethyst Star and left.

He saw the gate opened, he rushed to the last Tower that was located North. He reached to the Pearl Star, he saw the 7th Onyx. "There's the Book!" "He's going to be a pain in the ass."

Few moments later after he defeated the last Onyx and obtained the Pearl Star. He placed all Seven Sacred Stars at once, as the Book and Seven Sacred Stars combined into the Book Of Wishes.

"Finally did it, I have to return to Sally before the Shadow Lynx find out I'm pretending to be on of them." Junis said after he took the Book Of Wishes and left.

He was altered by the All Shadow Lynx, The siren was loud enough to alter them. "INTRUDER ALERT!" "INTRUDER ALERT!" "INTRUDER ALERT!" "INTRUDER ALERT!" "INTRUDER ALERT!" "Son of a bitch."

Few moments later after Junis killed all Shadow Lynx, he carried the Book Of Wishes to the Hoshino Shrine. He saw everything burned to the ground, He also witnessed a horrible sight, Salina Hoshino is unconscious, in terrible condition.

Junis freaked out and ran to her while holding the Book Of Wishes. "Sally!" "Please get up!" "It's too late kid, she's unconscious." Junis gasped and looked up at the unknown enemy that looked similar to the man who killed his family 2 years ago.

The unknown man descended in front of Junis, walking to him to get grasp on the important item. "Who...are...you?" "My name is Zero Astaroth, I'm the replica of the man who murdered your family." "You was behind this tragedy!?" "That's correct you dragon pest."

Junis was angry and put Salina against a tree, far away from the battle. "I'm the Demonic Beast of Destruction." "You have something i require, hand it over or else." Junis backed away really scared of Zero, he refused to give him the Book Of Wish.

Zero smirked at Junis and charged at him. "Then I'll take it by force!" He attacked Junis, bruising his body, Junis coughs blood and crashed into the forest, he lost the Book Of Wishes after he crashed.

Zero used Unholy Plasma (Unholy plasma is a deadly laser that can destroy more than one enemy, no human or monster can survive the blast.) on Junis, crushing him and the building before getting what's his.

The explosion was huge enough to destroy the city of Japan. "Now that he's out of my way, I can get my prize." Zero said laughing evilly. He opened the Book Of Wishes and the Mythical Genie rises out of the book. "Who have summoned me?" "Oh it's you, I am the Mythical Genie of Book Of Wishes." "I will give you three wishes."

"Fascinating, then I have a brilliant wish for you." "My first wish is to become an immortal demon!" "Your wish is granted." Zero laughed evilly completing his goal becoming immortal, he transformed into his final form.

Zero wished for the scythe, taking the grim reaper powers, he had everything on his list except killing Junis. "Now to eradicate the dragon pest.

Junis came out of the building bleeding a lot, Zero used the same tactic again to make sure he's dead. Kimichi came just in time and reflected Zero's Unholy Plasma, kicked Zero far away in the forest.

"Ishikawa San...?" "Are you okay?" "N....No, I'm not." "You shouldn't be here." "You have to run..." Junis said. "I'm not leaving without you!" Kimichi said. "If you stay here..." "Zero will kill you...damn it." "I don't care!" "I refuse to leave your side!" "I have to take you somewhere." "I got an idea..."

A half hour later, Junis told Kimichi his insane idea, it was insane but genius at the same time. They arrived at Mount Fuji to fulfill his insane plan. "Are you sure is this a good idea Yakamura Kun?" "Positive..." Kimichi put him down close to the inside of Mount Fuji. Junis got up slowly and looked down inside of its core.

Zero reappeared a bit far from Kimichi, Kimichi turned around seeing Zero a bit far from her. "I have to admit, you have the guts to knock me far into the forest." "I hope a weak imbecile like you have the confidence to take one a overpowered demon like me, because that's the last mistake you have ever make in your life you insufficient, powerless imbecile!" Zero said very angry.

"Good Luck, Yakamura Kun." Kimichi pushed Junis inside of Mount Fuji, Junis fell inside of it, he was covered in intense heat, he opened his mouth, devoured all of the intense flames. "This is my last chance to put an end to Zero's terror, and see everyone's faces again." Zero and Kimichi fought for a while. however, Zero strike her in the back with the scythe, causing her to lose a lot of blood, She screamed in pain but she cut his left eye using Aero Slash.

"Son of a bitch!" "My perfectly left eye!" "That's it, you are so dead!" Zero punched her really hard, she coughed a lot of blood, he kicked her really hard into the building. "Good riddance, now to..." Zero left eye got burned by a lucky magma bomb, he screamed in massive pain. "My damn eye!" "Who did this to my perfect eye!?" "Hey asshole!" "Look up!"

Zero looked up and got burned by Junis secondary magma bomb, Zero got annoyed and tried to cut him, Junis dodged it quickly really being careful. "You are a pain in the ass Yakamura!!!" "There's more where that came from, How about some explosions!?" Junis threw 18,000 magma bombs directly at Zero. Zero lost the grip of the scythe and caught in the explosions. Junis yelling in anger trying to stop him as fast as he can.

Junis was at his limit, and thought it was over, Zero grabbed the scythe and cuts junis in the back. Junis screamed in pain, unable to move, his organs was crushed. "I....c...a....n...n...o...t..move" "Well well, you failed to kill me, you are a failure." "I'm.....a....f....a...i...lure....?" "A pathetic being like yourself couldn't save your family." "I couldn't....s....ave?"

Kimichi got in front of Junis, she was angry at Zero and point her blade at him. "Shut up!" "You are wrong!" "Yakamura Kun isn't alone!" "He will save everyone!" "What in the hell do you know about anything!?" Kimichi said. "More than you can imagine child, why do you intend to get in my way by protecting a pathetic hero like him?" Zero said. "Because he means a lot to me!" "He is the world to me!" "I would do anything to keep him safe from you!"

Zero and Kimichi started fighting, she gave in her all to protect Junis, Junis got up slowly breathing so hard. "Ishikawa...San.." Kimichi struck Zero five times, leaving cuts on his neck, and his vitals. "I will protect him with my life because I love him!"

Junis gasped and had to think a way to face his fears. (Ishikawa San is fighting him to keep me safe, she expressed her feelings for me, I don't want to run anymore, I have to end Zero but how? I can't do this alone...Mother...Father...I need help...please...anybody...)

Kimichi on the ground at her limit, Junis was freaking out, he was too terrified to do anything. (I'm sorry everyone...I'm sorry Ishikawa San...I'm sorry Mother....I'm sorry....Father...I'm sorry brothers....I'm sorry....sis...I'm sorry Uncle Rocco....)
