Ship: Yoshiko x Riko (Love Live Sunshine)

Summary: Bored to death, princess Riko finds herself trying to search for a reason to leave the ballroom, when a certain blue haired knight comes to her rescue.

Words: 1k

Sneak peek:

 “As soon as the door closes, darkness swallows them only being slight broken by the timid moonlight.

- Tell me, my night knight, where’s the queen?

Riko asks aloud trying to discern in which part of the room both her mother, the queen, as well as her personal knight are, only hearing a quiet giggle in return.

- Nowhere Riri. I’ve thought it could be a good excuse to rescue you from those men.

Yoshiko, her personal knight and childhood friend replies making Riko giggle, before she feels the blue haired girl’s warm hand taking hers to pull her towards the large window and see the moon shining brightly at the peak of the dark sky.”

thinking about nest trio dynamics makes me so insane because what do you mean the first thing riko said to kevin at kathy’s show was “you’ve gained weight.” what do you mean in older drafts kevin’s hair was long because riko liked it that way. what do you mean riko’s final straw to hurt kevin permanently was because kevin and jean spoke french to each other. what do you MEAN jean was forced to be in kevin’s shoes when kevin left but he was never expected to be as close to riko as kevin was. literal deadbeat husband (riko) attic wife (kevin) and family dog (jean) dynamics. fascinating and definitely freudian

a spritz of peppermint | megumi fushiguro x reader

pt.6 of christmas event! cw: petnames i think idk, not proofread, there’s probably other stuff i’m missing but wtv happy birthday the prettiest king pls come back the food is cold

today is a very special day.

megumi notices that you rise early— mostly because when he wakes up in the morning, rubbing his sleep-heavy eyes groggily with a groan, he notices you’re not there. he rolls over, and smacks his face into cold sheets, devoid of your heat.

it pisses him off. so he starts his special day out as a grouch.

when he eventually crawls out of bed and makes his way into the kitchen after pulling on some sweats, though— he stops just short of the threshold to that sweet smelling cozy haven you love to spend your time in. the scent of pine needles and fresh chocolate orange wafts across the space, warm and welcoming and awfully wintery. he’s impartial to the cold— but he likes seeing your nose get red, so he guesses that’s one point positive.

“megumi?” your soft voice drifts across the open space, and the frost around his grumpy heart melts just a little; a crack in the frozen surface of the lake.

he reluctantly emerges from the shadow of the hallway, past the bundle of mistletoe hanging from the ceiling. the thought causes a memory to flash across his mind— your sweet smile and your prettier laugh; a distinct feeling of fuzzy warmth like a knitted sweater spreading across his cheeks when you pulled him close by the sleeve of his shirt and leaned in—

he shakes his head, trying to dash the stray thought. he’s supposed to be mad. it has no right to be there.

“why’d you get up so early?” he sighs heavily as he joins you at your side, scratching the back of his neck and running a hand through his unruly hair. you smiled sheepishly, turning to face him and you wrap your arms around his middle, squeezing lightly as a silent apology. he takes it with a grumble, snaking his arms around your waist and resting his face in your hair to bask in the scent of home before pulling away.

“it’s a secret.” you grinned, and he glares down at you, clicking his teeth in annoyance. you just laugh like the angel you are, leaving no room for guilt. you’re wearing one of his sweaters; you smell like him, and he supposes it makes up for the way you ditched him this morning.

“i expect compensation.” he grumbles, leaning against the counter as he watches you move about the kitchen, pale winter sunlight painting you like an ethereal dancer beneath the surface of misty lake water, crystal clear in your beauty. it’s mesmerizing.

you laughed, and his teeth dig into his bottom lip. “what, missed me? were you feeling lonely, gumi?” you smiled.

he just shoots you a piercing glare, the color of icicles in his eyes, but the warmth of your grin melts it away. you spend the next few moments in a comfortable silence, preparing a french toast topped with sweet berries and powdered sugar that looks so soft megumi could probably sink into it, until your lovely voice breaks the crisp morning silence.

“want black coffee?”

…

that’s weird. he never hesitates. and you know he takes his coffee black; of course you do. not because he wants to look cool, or look suave in another person’s eyes… well, except for you, of course. but not in the area of caffeine doses. and to be perfectly clear, all he needs is a dose of you to get him going.

he clears his throat. “can you make me hot chocolate?”

you pause, and he almost wants to bite his tongue off. why is he so embarrassed? but you just chuckle, like morning bird song across fresh dew on the grass.

“switching it up, huh? that’s cute.” you hum, and his face burns hot like embers in a brick fireplace. he coughs, throat scratchy like the pricks of a pinecone— but you make no note of it, simply going about your day.

he’s content to watch as you fish around in the rum-colored cabinets, pulling out a crinkly bag of cocoa powder. you put him on milk microwaving duty and he busies himself, lithe pale fingers unscrewing the carton of milk and pouring it into his favorite little painted dog mug. you were the one who’d made it; that silly little ceramics class you insisted on taking clearly didn’t help you too much in the way of smoothing down the bumps and blotches on the mug, but it holds your fingerprint, so he might as well memorize the shape of your hands when you’re not there.

megumi’s snapped back to reality when you grab a candy cane from the mini tree you decorated together sitting on the kitchen counter, smashing it up in the wrappings to mix the pepperminty dust with the cocoa powder. he eyes the pile of holiday drug warily as he brings the steaming mug over, placing it before you and leaning against the counter again to watch you work your mystery magic.

“that looks like brown cocai—”

“shh, megumi. keep your pretty mouth shut, please.”

he’s about to butt in again, lips parted before he presses them together irritatedly and resigns to sulk in silence.

you pour the hot chocolate mix into the milk, swishing it together as it forms a pretty spiral of cocoa; the color of dark chai and chocolate tart. he’s content to watch in silence, humming some christmas carol he’d overheard you listening to one gray afternoon— until he realizes you’re opening a bag of those sickeningly sweet and fluffy marshmallows he’d bought you on a whim. he only did it because his mentor told him they made the best gifts, but he’s beginning to realize it was the sweet tooth talking.

“hey— wait… are you going to put those in there, pretty?” he asks, putting a gentle hand on your wrist to stop you from vigorously emptying the bag into his poor victimized hot chocolate mug.

you glance up at him and flash a toothy grin, giving him one of those looks that makes his heart skip a beat. “trust me, gumi! you’re gonna love it.” you laughed, shrugging his hand off, and his lips curve downward. less because of the marshmallows that are toppling into his mug with a splash and more so because you freed yourself from his grasp.

obviously, you notice— your eyebrows knit together, a pinch of guilt weighing upon them like the snow on the streets outside. but it’s wiped away as quickly as it comes; before he knows it, you’re walking away with a bounce in your step, disappearing behind the counter before re-emerging with something behind your back.

“don’t look so sad, gumi. here,” you say, the cadence of your voice as soft and playful as he ever remembers it being when you pull a bunch of roses from behind your back. the bouquet is small and there’s dirt clinging to the stems— but his heart melts at the thought that you hand-picked them, prickly thorns and all, for him. “happy birthday,” you whispered, and his walls break.

“you’re not so different from them, you know.” you hummed, smiling as he takes them from you and gives you an inquisitive, quiet look. “you might be a little prickly on the outside, but you’re just as beautiful. you just have to look a little past the thorns.”

he feels his face flush; at this point, it’s probably as red as the stray candy cane shavings melting in his mug and the vibrant petals of the roses. he splutters and mumbles something annoyed under his breath, but he’s sure you can hear the undercurrent of fondness and affection weaves into each syllable like the beats of his heart, where you’re so close to. megumi thinks you might’ve just cut him open and made a home in his ribcage.

the bunch of handpicked roses for his special day sit on the marble counter dusted with cocoa powder and candy cane shavings, marshmallows bobbing at the surface of his hot chocolate like apples in a bucket as he wraps his arms around your waist and pulls you in to press his lips insistently to yours, slow and tender like the way he always loves you. his hands curl around your sides, as if to ground you there; freeze the time in this bubble of warmth, forgetting the chill outside to warm his hands on your skin. you’re so little in his arms; he wants to hold you and never let you go, to keep you under his tree and have you make hot chocolate for him instead of black coffee every morning he wakes up, because it’s fine if you’re not there in bed— as long as you’re waiting for him with open arms elsewhere.

and when he kisses you, he realizes he might not need his hot cocoa to warm his stomach— your lips are as soft and pillowy sweet as the marshmallows melting in his mug, filled with steaming hot cocoa and all the love he could ever wrap his heart in this cozy winter; his christmas gift to you.

he’s grateful today is a special day, if only because of you and his sweet little painted dog mug filled with your heartwarming love.

stop this was so close to being late my (riaki) stuff. don’t repost and/or plagiarize !

Wonderful Precure Episode 32 Review - Wonderfully Magically Heroically Relephant

I feel like this was more of an episode dedicated to the cameos than one filled with plot purposes. Don’t get me wrong. It’s still nice to see Iroha have some insight but it’s clearly an episode dedicated to the Precure cameos for the upcoming movie featuring Hirogaru Sky and Mahotsukai characters.

And as someone who adores Hirogaru Sky as my Precure gateway, I was super stoked to see the cast again! I feel like it’s an epilogue of the story. It does feel like the Hirogaru cast are there for summer vacation. I am amused by the idea that Ellee got in as a baby so the gang don’t have to pay extra money as she’s seen in her teenaged self in the Quokka area. I also liked the Underg Empire cameos too. I wonder if the man at the reptile section is Skearhead? Human Battamonda can be see in the corner where the Mahotsukai girls are. I’ve never seen Mahotsukai; is it good?

Enough about the cameos, the episode is just little filler but it does give some insight to Iroha. The reason why she loves animals so much and wants to befriend them is due to her befriending the oldest elephant in the zoo, Sakura. Seeing the way the elephant touched her cheek as a kid was the reason her love for animals began. I think it’s really nice to see where it all started for her.

Zakuro shows up hating the fact that animals are confined in a zoo so she possesses Sakura. However, she should be blessed by the fact that the other Precures did NOT show up. Oh boy, who would’ve known what would’ve happened if Cure Sky shows up. Though, I was glad that the cameos did not transform as this is Wonderful Precure and not Hirogaru/Mahotsukai. They got their fun; it’s the Wonderful gang’s time in the spotlight. I’m also a bit curious on what Zakuro said about not finding a good man in the zoo. Since she’s basically a humanoid wolf, is she only attracted to animals? It also makes me wonder if Komugi and Yuki are attracted to fellow canine and felines or if they’re just too used to their owners.

I think the cameos and the smaller details like Satoru having a membership pass and Yuki petting a rabbit off-screen was super cute. I think it was a nice respite of an episode. What did you like about this one?

Whenever I see gross hate on these sweethearts, I just have to geniunely ask: ‘What is wrong with you?’

[joyglass]

nora saying that TSC which features jean's POV is going portray kevin without putting him on a pedestal (and by extension ppl talking about how refreshing it's going to be to see jean roast kevin) is so crazy to me for multiple reasons bc 1) when has neil ever put kevin on a pedestal aside from their initial meeting. does neil expect a lot from kevin? yes. does neil put him on a pedestal? the jury's still out. 2) if anything the narrative in aftg (Neil's POV) is imo too UNsymphathetic to kevin. neil "kevin you little bitch we do NOT have time for your trauma rn) josten was telling kevin to suck up his lifelong trauma from riko like every other chapter 😭😭😭 idk why or how ppl are expecting jean's POV to be almost insensitive to Kevin's character
