REKINDLE THE FLAME CHAPTER 1

English and Japanese are neither my native languages. I'm very sorry if I got something incorrect

I copy and pasted the chapter from sekai.best so if I sucked at showing emotion then that’s probably why

Customer A: Ah, ah— Since the reopening, the buisness has been bustling no matter when you come.

Customer B: Oh. It’s been a while since the event, but it’s still amazing.

Customer B: Well, this is the base of the guys who did “RAD BLAST”. Since it’s a sacred place, isn’t it natural for people to gather here?

Customer A: And… one of the legendary members is here, right?

???: Oh, are you talking about me?

Kotaro: So, it’s the usual blend! I made it thicker!

Customer A: Oh, it smells good. You��re getting a better at making coffee, aren’t you?

Kotaro: Mhm! A lot! Since the store was entrusted to me by Ken-kun, we can’t afford to ruin the reputation!

Customer B: You were entrusted with it……. No way, we didn’t expect you to start acting like the manager of this store.

Kotaro: Haha! Even if I’m just the acting manager, it still counts!

Kotaro: I’ve asked other people about the sales of the store and the food management… it’s almost like a part-time job!

Customer A: Even then, you, the man entrusted, are still amazing. (*“even then, it’s still amazing. the man entrusted.” is kinda what they actually said but it sounds bad imo)

Kotaro: Hehe… Well, I was just as surprised when I was approached.

Kotaro: When I said I was looking for a part-time job I could do on my own, he asked, “then why not work at my place?”

Kotaro: But, I mean… I was happy.

Kotaro: Ken-kun said, “I want to keep this store open for the sake of those who admire you and want to keep it running”. “If I want to leave it to anyone, I want to leave it to you.”

Kotaro: So, I thought I should do it. I can’t handle alcohol yet, so I won’t have the same business hours as Ken.

Customer B: Oh… you were talking about that with Ken.

Customer A: When I heard Ken was going to work with Taiga again, I was disappointed because the store would be coaled…

Customer A: I’m glad that I can drink coffee here again.

Customer B: Ah! Keep up the good work, acting store manager!

Kotaro: Sure thing!

Kohane: Hello!

Kotaro: —Oh, you guys! Please sit in the empty seat over there!

Young person on Vivid Street: Hey, hey. That’s….!

Young person on Vivid Street: Vivid BAD SQUAD’s Azusawa-san and Aoyagi-san, right!? I’m glad I’m waiting here…..!

Kotaro (to Toya): Do you want the usual blend and cafe au lait?

Toya: Ah, thank you. ……Even so, business is booming today.

Kotaro: Oh! Well, it’s thanks to my delicious coffee.

Young person Vivid Street: Oh, um!

Kohane: Hm?

Young person on Vivid Street: Um… Miss. Azusawa from Vivid BAD SQUAD….. isn’t it!?

Kohane: Ah… yes, that’s right.

Young person on Vivid Street: I’m sorry for the suddeness. Well… Wow, we longed for everyone in RAD BLAST and started singing, and so…

Young person on Vivid Street: —If you don’t mind, can you shake my hand!?

Kohane: Of course, if it’s okay, then by all means.

Young person on Vivid Street: Ah, thank you…….!

Young person on Vivid Street: I’m still no good at all… I want to do my best with my team so I sing a hot song like everyone else…

Kohane: Ah…

Kohane: I’m very happy to hear that!

Kohane: I’ve been singing for a long time with the support of my friends… I really understand how you want to do your best in your team

Kohane: Well… If you don’t mind, let me listen to your songs next time. Let’s do our best together!

Young person in Vivid Street: Ha, yes….! (*they said “ha, hai….!” And I wasn’t sure if that would turn into “Uhm, yes….!” Or “Y-Yes….!” Or something different)

Kotaro: Hey, hey! Those kids weren’t like that when they talked to me, were they!?

Customer B: Haha, I don’t think it was because of your coffee!

Customer A: In any case, the girls are very famous. Do your best to bring out your aura, too!

Kotaro: Wow~! Look at it now! Soon the views are going to overtake these—

Kotaro: That’s right, Aoyagi! You gave me a new song yesterday! It was so good!

Toya: I see….. I’m glad you like it. Maybe it was a good thing to try to capture a new sound

Customer B: I heard it too! It was my favorite so far!

Customer A: Recently, some songs have reached more than 1 million views, and the pace of releasing songs have also increased… It’s a great momentum, Vivid BAD SQUAD!

Toya: Thank you. …..But I still can’t be satisfied here.

Toya: Because what we’re aiming for is the world.

Customer B: The world…….? It’s a ridiculous dream, but it’s amazing because I feel like I can do it if you say it!

Customer A: Haha! That’s right! So, what are you guys doing now after aiming for the world?

Toya: I think you’re doing your best. —while worrying so much.

~ ENGLISH CLASS ~

(they speak a little english sometimes in this scene. when they do, I put it in italics)

Teacher: Let’s start today’s lesson with a cheerful greeting! How are you?

Akito: … I’m good.

An: Uhm……Pretty good!

Teacher: OK! You can return greetings smoothly! Well then, let’s keep going!

Teacher: What did you do on your day off?

An: Wow, I could understand some of it…… what’s the second half!?

Akito: ….I think you said that out loud…

An: Please say it again!

Teacher: OK. What did you do on your day off?

An: Uhm…

An: Uh… what?

~ LATER ~

Teacher: Well, that’s all for today’s lesson! Please complete your English composition assignment before the next class!

Akito and An: Th-Thank you so much….

An: Haa…. My head hurts….

Akito: Ah… It’s like a part of you that you don’t normally use, but you’re working at full capacity…

An: Yeah.. if it’s a song, I can pronounce it nice, but when I’m in a conversation, it’s harder….

An: I mean, if we can communicate from the bottom of our hearts, are words really necessary!?

Akito: Well, I don’t know how to feel about that…

Akito: You saw Toya’s class. If you can’t speak like that, you won’t be able to do much overseas….

An: Ugh.. that’s true…

An: You have a point! If you want to catch the hearts of the world, you have to try…..!

(she said only “if you want to catch the world”, I just thought it sounded closer to what she meant by adding “hearts”)

An: Let’s go for it, Akito!

Akito: ……Oh!

~ A FEW MINUTES LATER ~

Kotaro: I didn’t think your English class would last this long. I though you would’ve run away halfway through!

Akito: Me neither.

Toya: If we’re gonna go global, we have to be ready to work abroad. We can’t let opportunities run away from us.

Kotaro: Working abroad…… I can’t imagine what that’s like……

Kotaro: Have you actually decided on how you’re going to work from here on out?

Akito: Kinda. It’s not completely decided, but it’s pretty much where we want to do.

An: —Idealy, I want to work with a big overseas label! Like Uncle Taiga and the others!

Toya: Recently, we’ve gone through the route of…… being seen through videos, but that’s largely due to luck. We want to steadily increase the opportunities for people to get to know us.

Akito: But…… we’re in no position to talk about that in the first place.

Akito: We’re not yet world-class in terms of name recognition or abilities. We’re going to start by getting our feet in the ground.

Kotaro: I see~ I see!

Kotaro: Ah, is that why the songs uploaded recently have English subtitles and descriptions?

Kohane: Yes. We decided that the best way for the world to get to know us is to put our songs on the Internet……

Kohane: We thought we should not only upload the songs as they are, but also properly tell people about the songs. We’re working together to translate the lyrics into English.

Toya: Once we get out feet on the ground, we plan to move to overseas events. We have our sights set on that.

Kotaro: Ah….! I see! You’ve got a lot on your mind!

An: I didn’t say it lightly. I said, “I’m going to win the world!”

Kohane: Mhm! …..It’s a very big goal, but we’d like to get there little by little!

Kohane: —Good luck to us!

Akito, Toya, and An: Yeah!

Merry Christmas, I miss you 𖦹 Quinn Hughes !

summary. quinn was back home for christmas and all he could think about was you. his highschool sweetheart. one he hadn’t seen in a very long time. but now, with the holiday bringing you both home… whats a better time to rekindle what once was?

wc. 1.39k+

disclaimers. ex’s that left off on good terms, fluff, reader being slightly awkward & this may be a little ooc but IDC IDC.. also reader went to college for something unspecified.

notes. i had two drafts for this idea but i liked this one better lolsss.. also i fucking decided i hated this but i also am just like whatever i need it out of the drafts!

Quinn’s fingers hovered over the green button. He had been sitting on the living room couch, chewing on his lip for about thirty minutes now. His mom had informed him that you were back in town for the Holiday’s. Your mother had stopped her at the grocery store to chat, and you’d rounded the corner. Ellen practically raced home to inform her son.

Jack and Luke sat on chairs not far from their older brother, both sharing equally as annoyed looks.

“Man, just press the button.” Jack grumbled, sinking into the chair, his foot tapping the ground impatiently.

Quinn’s head snapped up, eyes narrowing on his brother before they flickered back to his phone. “It’s not that easy. What if she has a boyfriend now and I—“

Before he could finish his sentence, Luke shot up from the couch, passing the distance in a few long strides. The youngest Hughe’s brother wrenched the phone from his brother’s tight grasp, not giving Quinn a second to retaliate, he presses the button.

Ring.. Ring..

“Hello?”

Quinn glared heatedly up at Luke as the curly haired boy grinned, handing the phone back to his brother. Jack stood from the chair, nodding his head toward the door for Luke to follow and give Quinn space.

Clearing his throat, Quinn’s mouth parted. Shit, shit, shit. What did he get himself into? What did Luke get him into?

“Uhm.. Quinn?” God, your voice was still as sweet and melodic as the last time he’d heard from you. The small hint of a smile in your voice was the thing had gave Quinn the strength to reply.

And, you still had his number saved.

“Hey, yeah, sorry. Hi!” He sunk into the couch, free hand rubbing his thigh in a comforting motion. “Heard you were back in town?”

Shuffling was heard on the other end before a soft sight left your lips. “Yep! Are you here too?” There was something in your voice, something hesitant that raised a hint of concern in Quinn.

Did you have a boyfriend? If so, that would explain it. Not wanting to hear from your ex.. what was he doing!?

“Yeah, yeah. Just for a few days. How’ve you been?” He really should just get the question that’s been nagging at his mind for hours now.

On the other end, your heart was slamming into your chest. You’d always been shy, even in high school. The only reason you had a friend group was because of Quinn. He’d helped you come out of your shell.

But now? Now he was your ex, a famous hockey player, and incredibly good looking. Why wouldn’t you be a little shy?

“Good. Been good! College is tiring, but worth it..” A pause, “How are you?”

Quinn felt a smile pushing at his lips despite himself. “I’ve been alright! Listen, I really gotta ask..” Now or never, Hughes. Now or— “Do you have a boyfriend?”

Choking. That’s all Quinn heard, even when you so clearly moved the phone away from your face. “I—Uh, I, well— no. No, no, I don’t. Sorry! That caught me a but off guard!”

A laugh slipped out of the brunettes lips, his head dipping with a low shake. “No, it’s my bad. I should’ve eased that question in. Just.. didn’t want to overstep.”

Once you’f collected yourself, did you allow a small chuckle to escape your lips. Red blossomed on your cheeks and you’d never been so grateful for it being over the phone.

If this had happened face to face? Well, you might be in the hospital for passing out from sheer humiliation.

“You aren’t overstepping anything, Quinn. I promise.” You stood from your seat, walking toward the kitchen to get yourself some water.

Quinn waited a second to speak, not wanting to seem too eager—he couldn’t scare you off just yet. “Good. We should catch up, soon. The cafe on main street is still open, you liked their espresso’s if I remember correctly.”

He did remember correctly. As if Quinn could forget anything pertaining to you. You liked it with an extra shot, claiming it was necessary or your whole day would be off. Not that you needed more energy, you’d always seemed to have an endless supply of that.

The Hughe’s man supposed that’s what he’d loved the most about you. Your energetic side that made it easy for him to sit back and relax while you took over the conversations.

“You remember very correctly.” You laugh lightly, “and, I’d love that. When are you free?”

Quinn sat up straight, smiling. Then, he turned his head, noticing his brother’s peeking over the corner. Their eyes widened and their heads disappeared.

He had to hold back the groan as he turned his attention back to the woman he was on the phone with. “Right now, if you are.”

“Oh! Oh, give me thirty minutes to get ready. I can drive—“

“I’ll pick you up. My brothers are here and they are being.. well, them.”

You nod in understanding, forgetting he couldn’t see you. A grin tugs at your lips as you imagine the younger Hughe’s boys being oh-so-nosey.

“Alright. I’m staying at my parents. Come whenever, I’m sure they’d love to see you.” And with that, you both said your goodbye’s and you sprinted to your room.

When Quinn did arrive at your house, nerves wracked his body. His stomach churned at the realization he was about to see you after so many years. Sure, he still followed you on Instagram.. but you didn’t exactly have a big social media presence.

The click of the door opening had the mans back straightening, pulse quickening in his throat like he was a high schooler all over again.

And when he saw you, his breath hitched in his throat. You looked so much more mature, somehow even more beautiful than the last time he’d seen you.

Yes, four years had passed since he’d seen you in person. But this was.. well, he forgot how to speak. The flowers in his hand long since forgotten.

“Grip those any tighter and you might snap the stems.” You spoke quietly, teasingly. Heat rushed to your cheeks as you watched him blink, his throat bobbing. Was that a stupid joke?

Then, he laughed. And you saw that he was the same Quinn you’d loved all those years ago. His cheeks puffing and his head shaking.

His grip loosened on the flowers, his arm sticking out to give them to you. You took them gratefully, cheeks flushed as you murmured a thank you.

Quinn shifted on his feet as you brought the flowers up to smell them. “You look beautiful.”

Your eyes paused on the flowers before slowly lifting to meet his. You didn’t think it was possible for your face to get any warmer, but here it was. Ablaze.

“Thank you! So do—well, I meant—“ Your mouth clamps shut. “You look handsome.” It came out gritted which caused Quinn’s lips to twitch.

Setting the flowers on a table beside the door, you grab your purse and step outside. The cold air cooling you down and stifling your humiliation. The walk to Quinn’s car was brief, thankfully.

Inside, you settled into the seat. You really needed to control yourself, this awkward vibe seeping off of you was only making you more embarrassed.

As if nothing had changed, Quinn disconnected from bluetooth and turned to you with a loose grin. And just like that, you were back in high school again, refusing to go anywhere until you gained control over the music.

Your mouth quirked as you pulled out your phone. “Always a gentleman, Hughes.” You tease lightly, which was met with a short chuckle. That simple sound shot something so familiar through your chest.

Your fingers hovered over the song you were about to play, when your eyes flitted back to Quinn. He was looking at you still, his lips pulled into a small smile. And you knew that what you were feeling wasn’t just a one way street.

“I missed you.” He spoke quietly. His eyes softened as they moved around your face like he was trying to memorize every new detail to store beside the old ones.

Tearing your eyes from him, you press play. “I missed you too.”

Can interest you in a potentially controversial Stobin headcanon in what sounds like a trying time?

If so; Steve and Robin share girlfriend at some point.

Not in the “turns out that time we were both dating girls named Crystal? We were in fact dating one girl named Crystal. Who *somehow* never put it together that my Steve and the Steve she was two-timing me with were in fact the person!”

(This does in fact happen - I’m thinking when Robin’s in college and has met like, three different Crystals (one of whom has parents that lived in the same commune as Robin’s! Such a shame girls named Crystal have been *ruined forever*).

It’s a pretty surreal break up for Crystal; not only are her boyfriend and girlfriend turn out to be actually best friends (in her defence, Robin has taken to calling him “Stevie” at this point and the way she talks about him really conjures the image of a standard preppy bitch who’s been Robin’s best friend since kindergarten, and Steve (in retaliation) tends to use “Rob” and “Robbie”, leading Crystal to believe his Robin is male), and seem almost as angry about this as they are about the infidelity.

Crystal’s attempts at explaining herself and apologising result in Steve retorting that he’s not even mad that she’d want to date Robin - Robin’s fucking amazing! If Crystal had just told him that was what he wanted, he probably would have been okay with it - which Crystal takes as Steve being a bitch, but is something Robin will point later as her realising that this is something she might be okay with.)

Anyway, I figure this is something that would happen when they’re in their 20s and/or their 50s. They’re either approached by a woman who thinks they’re a couple (“does it make our marriage more or less of a sham if we’re sharing a mistress?”) or they approach someone they both have a crush on a la Troy & Abed asking out the librarian.

I don’t think either of them would identify as poly, per se - it’s very much “if it’s you, it’s okay”, and if the girlfriend breaks up with one of them, it’s assumed she’s breaking up with both of them.

I just kind of like the combination of Robin and Steve as Platonic Life Partners, trying to figure out polyamory and just how absolutely Buckwild (Robin’s Wrestler name!) it would be for their [potential] girlfriends and anyone on the outside of the situation. Jon and Eddie just sat there, listening to Steve ramble about the situation bc it’s Robin’s date night and just…bluescreening. Argyle smiling and nodding “happy for you, man. I mean, sucks you’re off the market, but glad you’ve found something that works”.

one yes always interested in controversial takes tbh. two. omg yes exactly you are so smart anon

The Crystal situation!! so true this is absolutely something that would happen to stobin (also true I know a few queer women called crystal). bad luck in love that's them!!

I think Steve is like. mostly monogamous...unless his gf/partner is also dating Robin. like it would make sense to him I think. He'd be like well. this way we don't have to worry you things being weird about my Very Normal Friendship With Robin That Some People Thing Is Weird!

I think I've mentioned before the funny scenario of stobin going "hey me and my platonic life partner saw you across the bar and liked your vibes" and I stand by that.

But also funny is that Steve or Robin's girlfriend being absorbed into their dynamic and realizing that she is..... sort of dating both of them? And her being the one to bring up dating the other and Robin and steve going well how would that change things? and everyone realizing that it would probably only change the amount of kisses gf gets and going well that sounds cool let's try it!

Maybe in their 20s it doesn't work out but they try again in their 50s and they go wow! this was a great idea we were just young and it just didn't work out.

that's so fun. I want them to have crazy dating stories. I want Jonathan and Eddie to sit there going what the hell are these two doing? because the complexities of stobin's dating lives have always confused them even before the poly V started, and argyle just vibing listening to the double date night shenanigans he's being told.
