Don’t Go Breaking My Heart | Charlie Gillespie

Requested by anonymous: Hi! Could you possibly do a Charlie x reader fic where they are filming season 2 & there is a new character (fashion expert/can see ghost/a little bit of enemies with Luke at first) but off screen they are very close (always hanging out/on ig posts & stories/dance partners/they sing karaoke/adventure) & the whole cast likes to tease them about it but they deny any feelings however they are about to film a very important scene that involves their characters & might change everything between them.

Pairing: Charlie Gillespie x reader

Warnings: fluff

Words: 2,789

Season 2. Finally Season 2. Everyone had been hoping, wishing, praying for a season 2 of Julie and The Phantoms, and after months of waiting, Netflix finally picked it up for a second season. After those months, the actors had just to wait a little while longer while the crew wrote up the first drafts of scripts and made it perfectly save for the actors to do their work. Once all of that’s ready and they’re good to go, the cast finally reunite again in Vancouver. They even meet some new cast members. Like you. You had auditioned for the role of Daniela Ramos, Julie’s cousin and Victoria’s daughter, and got it pretty much straight away. Daniela is a fashion student at a High School in Melrose Hill and Julie asks her for some help with costumes for her next gig with her band. To Julie’s surprise, Daniela can actually see the boys, even when they’re not playing, which causes for a lot of trouble in the band and family, especially between Julie and Luke. This is your first big role on the small screen and you’re the most excited you’ve ever been. You met the other cast members at the summer bootcamp before the filming process would start, and though almost everything had to be done with a face mask covering half of everyone’s face, it still was a lot of fun getting to meet everyone and spend the most fun summer ever. Every day, you grew closer and closer to everyone on set, and soon became best friends with Madi, Jadah, Savannah and Tori, doing plenty of sleepovers. Besides the girls, you also grew closer to Charlie, Owen and Jeremy, but mostly Charlie. For some reason, the two of you just clicked instantly. You have the same humor, the same taste of adventure, the same passions and dreams. You, Charlie and Owen even rented a place together to live in for the time being in Vancouver. You got even closer during filming, especially since you and Charlie have a lot of scenes together. “Oh my God, Luke, you’re so annoying!” you yell at him when the two of you are in the garage, taping a scene. It had taken you about ten takes and you still couldn’t help but giggle at the shocked face he pulled every time. “If I’m so annoying, Dani, why do you keep coming back?!” The angry face he pulls resembles that of an angry kitten, which just makes you crack up again. “God dammit, Y/N!” Charlie laughs now too as Kenny yells “Cut!” “Sorry! Sorry, guys! I promise I’m a real actor!” You hold your hands up in defense, then cough to get ready for another take. This time around, you could finally manage to get through it without laughing. “Yes!” Charlie exclaims when Kenny yells “Cut!” again. He holds his hand up for a high five, which you giddily give him. “Do you need any more takes, Kenny?” he asks the man himself. “Nope, you’re good! You can go on your break now!” he pats Charlie’s shoulder. “Nice job, guys!” “Thanks, Kenny,” you say, the smile growing on your face. “I need food, Gillespie,” you tell your best friend, linking your arm with his. “Let’s go get food!” The two of you head down to catering and sit down at a table with a plate full of food. “What are we doing tonight?” he then asks before taking a bite of food. You swallow your bite of food and take a sip from your drink. “Don’t you have a night shoot tonight?” you ask, remembering him saying something about a late call. “No, that’s tomorrow, after our dance rehearsal,” he replies after swallowing the food. “Oh! Okay!” You start thinking of things to do, “We could go to karaoke? Bring the others maybe?” He raises his eyebrows, looking at you questionably. “I’ve always loved karaoke,” you shrug with a giggle. “Yeah, okay!” Charlie nods his head agreeingly. “Karaoke it is!” The two of you smile up at each other, teeth showing, both of you glowing. “What are you love birds discussing?” Owen asks when he joins them, his voice muffled from the mask covering his face. He pulls it down to under his chin as he and Jeremy join the two at the table. “We’re thinking about going to karaoke tonight with the whole team!” you tell them, completely ignoring the ‘love birds’. “Ooh, fun!” Owen exclaims with a smile that nearly reaches his ears. “Yeah, we’ll leave after shooting the last scene tonight,” Charlie suggests, looking at you for confirmation. You nod your head agreeingly. That night, you and the rest of the cast head to the nearest karaoke place you know. You’ve linked arms with Savannah and Tori, giggling through the night, trying to keep your balance on your heeled boots. Meanwhile, without you realizing, Charlie has been keeping his eyes on you the whole way there. He finds it adorable how your giggle floats through the night air and your hips bump against the other girls’. He couldn’t lie, you had easily become the light in his life. “So, what song shall we begin with?” you ask the gang as you settle into the booth. “Pick the first one on the list,” Jeremy replies when no one else does. You nod your head curtly and press play on the first song, which is Living on a Prayer by Bon Jovi. You can already tell after that first song; tonight is going to be a fun night. You sing a couple of songs with the girls, there are many group numbers, and you even sing one with your roommates. After singing with Owen and Charlie, the latter points at you. “We’re going to sing together now!” he exclaims excitedly before turning around and picking a song for you to sing. When he’s picked one, he grabs your hand to pull you closer towards him. You blink a couple of times, unable to process what’s happening right now. The opening notes to Don’t Go Breaking My Heart by Elton John and Kiki Dee chime through the booth. You glance over at Savannah and Tori, who offer you an encouraging smile. Then you look at Jadah and Madison, but they’re too busy giggling and whispering, and it makes you wonder if that’s about you and Charlie. Your eyes dart over to the boys – Jeremy, Owen and Sacha – who just offer you suggestive smiles and eyebrow-wiggles. Charlie’s voice captures your attention again, and you turn to him. “I couldn’t if I tried,” you sing back to him. The encouraging smile on Charlie’s face calms you down a little up to the point where it almost seems like the two of you are the only people in the room. You have no clue what is happening or why it’s happening. All you know is that you’ve wanted it to happen sooner. Though you wouldn’t ever admit that to anyone. It’s the way he looks at you and the way he makes you feel like you’re the only person on this planet that matters. It’s been the way he’d looked at you since that first day of meeting him. “I won't go breaking your heart,” you sing the very last line to him ever so softly, not even looking at the screen anymore, but instead, looking into his eyes. “Don't go breaking my heart,” he sings back. The song ends and you both lower your microphones, staring into each other’s eyes. If it wasn’t for the rest of the cast breaking out into cheers and applause, you would’ve kissed him then and there. But it startles you, and you step away from him upon realizing how close you are and how that must look to the others. “So, when’s the wedding?” Madison asks teasingly, which makes the others laugh, and you blush. After that night at karaoke, the two of you had silently agreed to forget anything ever happened. Savannah said you were in denial, but you believed you weren’t. You told her it was just the atmosphere in the air that night, the both of you had consumed a little bit of alcohol and it might’ve just been that. No one stopped teasing you though. On every possible occasion, they’d ask you if you’d kissed him yet, or when your next date it, or started singing Don’t Go Breaking My Heart randomly. You just shook it off every time, finding it amusing how consumed the cast was with this ‘relationship’ you had with Charlie. There was nothing more going on than just a really, really tight friendship. Until the dance scene happened. Your character, Dani, was supposed to go to a school dance with her crush, but she was nervous because she had never slow danced with anyone before. When she tells Luke, he insisted on teaching her, saying he’d gone to plenty of school dances back in ’94 and ’95 before he died. You and Charlie know this choreography by heart, you’ve been doing it for weeks on end at bootcamp and during rehearsals. It had always just been fun and games, the two of you being immaculate dancers and bouncing off of each other so well because of your tight friendship. “I could teach you?” Charlie says as Luke, stepping closer to you. You raise your eyebrows at him. “I’ve gone to numerous dances in my days, Dani…” One corner of his mouth curls up into a teasing smirk. “Unless you want to embarrass yourself in front of… Jake.” He emphasizes the name of your fictional crush, to which you react with wide eyes and a blush spreading on your cheeks. “Come on, Dani!” He reaches out for your hand, which you place hesitantly in his. Dani being able to see ghosts, is also able to make them corporeal. The lights on set dim a little, except for one spot on the pair in the middle of the studio, and then the music starts playing through the speakers. Charlie starts singing the song they’d learned at bootcamp, one the cast wrote together during the quarantine. The atmosphere in the studio has suddenly become really intense. You can feel the butterflies erupting in your stomach as the man in front of you sings to you, mere inches away from each other as he leads you in this beautiful dance Paul Becker and Tori Caro choreographed for you. Just like at the karaoke booth, it feels like the two of you are the only people on set. Just you and him. You and Charlie. You and your best friend. There’s no denying you have feeling for him anymore. You knew you did, you just told yourself it wasn’t a good idea and suppressed those feelings, pushing them down. It worked for a while. Until now. “Cut!” Kenny yells after your scene. You step away from Charlie, glancing down at the floor as you try your hardest to hide your flustered face. “That was perfect, guys! It really looks like the two of you were in love!” he claps his hands in excitement, then tells them to do it again. After four takes of the dance, Kenny tells you to go and take a break. Without saying another word to Charlie, you rush off set and towards your trailer where you sit down on a chair, trying to calm your breathing. Charlie might not like you the way you like him. Admitting to these feelings might just ruin everything the two of you have. With this in mind, you grab your phone and text Savannah, asking her to come over to your trailer. Maybe she could help you. “Are you okay?” she asks when she enters and finds you staring at the ceiling. “No…” you reply and take a deep breath, “I think I’m in love with my best friend?” “Oh, sweetie…” Savannah sighs, and pulls you up to take you in a hug, “I know…” You pull her away again to face her properly. “What do you mean ‘you know’?” “Everybody knows,” she starts, “The two of you have been inseparable since the day you met, and everyone can see the way you look at each other. Plus, your duet the other night was a little intense for it to be a platonic one.” She chuckles, and you can’t help but chuckle too. She then grabs her phone from her back pocket, opening Instagram. “You know fans have caught on too, right?” She shows you the comments on some of Charlie’s pictures on his account. One picture is of the two of you, napping in Julie’s bed on set, cuddled up. He even posted pictures from your hikes on your days off. All of them are bombarded with comments from fans saying, ‘I ship it!’ or ‘Y/S/N’. Sav then opens her dm’s which are flooded with fans asking if you and Charlie are dating yet, and how the two of them are so in love with each other. “Charlie isn’t in love with me?” you deny, not believing one bit about it. “He is, though…” This does not come from Savannah’s mouth. Your eyes widen when you recognize the voice, and peek behind Savannah to find your best friend standing at your open trailer door. “Sav, can you give us a minute?” he asks the younger girl. “More than a minute,” she chirps, offering you a wink before leaving the trailer. Charlie steps in completely and moves until he’s in front of you. He takes your hands in his, and chuckles at your overwhelmed and confused expression. “Are you okay?” he asks, that beautiful smile of his persistent on his face. “Y—yeah? No? I’m not sure?” you sigh, trying to get your thoughts in order. “Charlie, wha—?” “Can I talk? I’ve been going over this conversation in my mind a billion times, and if I don’t say it now, I think I’m going to forget what I’m supposed to say…” You nod your head in response. “Y/N, I’ve been in love with you since the very first time I saw you walking in at bootcamp. You looked adorable with your little nervous smile and your polite hellos to everybody. I knew from that moment on that I wanted to get to know you better, and that I wanted to become more than just friends…I didn’t think you’d feel the same way, so I told myself that it was okay if we’d just stay friends. Especially since your character kind of hates mine and you bring Dani to life so convincingly, that I was almost sure you hated me too,” you chuckle at that, “But I can’t hide it anymore, Y/N. I am so embarrassingly in love with you that I could’ve kissed you after that scene we just did and that I could kiss you right now even though I’m—” before he can finish his sentence, you lean up and crash your lips onto his, your hands flying into his hair. He’s a little startled at first, but quickly melts into the kiss and presses you closer to him. “I am so embarrassingly in love with you too, Charlie,” you whisper when you pull away, pressing your forehead against his. “They’re going to be so relieved,” you tell him with a chuckle. He frowns his eyebrows at you. “Who?” he asks. You take his hand in yours and lead him towards the door of your trailer, pushing it open and making it bump against whoever was closest to the door. All of your cast mates scramble, trying to act natural while Owen rubs his forehead since he was the one that got a door in his face. “Ah, them!” Charlie chuckles. “Thanks for the door in my face, guys,” Owen says disgruntled. “That’s on you, buddy,” you tell him with a grin. “Don’t you guys have a scene to shoot or something?” Their eyes widen at the realization and, after yelling at the two how happy they are for them, rush to set in a hurry. “So, where were we?” Charlie turns back to you when everyone’s gone. “Don’t you have a scene with them?” “Shit!” he grumbles and jumps off the small steps in front of the trailer. He starts running towards set but turns around almost immediately to you and kisses your lips quickly, but sweetly, and then runs off. You watch him with an amused smile on your face. There was nothing to be afraid about after all and nothing changed between you two. You were still the best of friends, just friends that kiss and are in love with each other. But both of you happy.

“I'm a mess” + Leah and JJ!

95: i'm a mess + mayson

thank you for continuously aiding my obsession with them. i'm actually really happy with how this came out omfg. very much not canon compliant to the actual fic and clueless (slightly jealous) babies. also weed, if you're not down with that (the smoking stuff is also probably v poorly written because i've never smoked in my life lmao).

"Is that my shirt?"

Leah nearly fell out of the hammock. She practically jumped out of her skin, one hand grabbing onto the side and the other clutching the joint she'd rolled a few minutes earlier. Her head whipped around to see JJ walking up to the trees outside the Chateau, an amused grin on his face.

"Jesus fuck, J. Don't sneak up on people like that," Leah whined, flipping him off as he came to a stop in front of her. He grabbed the side of the hammock, stopping it from swinging aggressively as she regained her balance.

"My shirt," he repeated, tugging at the sleeve of it.

She glanced down at the Pelican Marina shirt as if she just remembered she was wearing it. She'd randomly grabbed it from his room when she got back to the Chateau with John B, having ditched the party — and technically JJ? — at the boneyard. "Oh yeah, I got beer all over mine."

He raised an eyebrow, confused.

"Long story," she dismissed with a wave of her hand. Specifically, the one with her lit joint, which didn't go unnoticed by JJ.

"And you took my weed, too?" he exclaimed, eyeing the joint in her hand. Even buzzed, JJ had about thirteen issues with the way it was assembled, but rolling was never Leah's strong suit.

"No." She gave him a mischievous grin, shooting a conspiratorial wink. "It's John B's."

JJ chuckled at her expression, gasping with pride as he slapped a hand over his chest. “My little klepto! I've trained you well."

She shrugged. "I spotted him money for the last keg, he owes me. Wanna smoke it with me?"

JJ eyed her poor craftsmanship, but ultimately accepted with a shrug. Leah tried her best to keep still as JJ climbed into the hammock, sitting back against the other end to be across from her. The swayed a bit before he finally settled in, slotting one of his legs between hers.

She held out the joint to him, waving it tauntingly in front of him. JJ chuckled, plucking it from her fingers.

He took a quick hit, cringing when he let the smoke free. "This is shit weed."

"That's because John B bought it."

" ... Fair enough."

They sat in comfortable silent for a few minutes, passing the joint back and forth as the very beginnings of a nice mellow feeling started to creep into Leah's veins. She tried her best to blow a smoke ring, but it came out more like a disjointed blob.

JJ snorted. “Weak."

"Dick," she grumbled, kicking her foot into his calf.

He rolled her eyes at the childish action, before posing a question. "Wanna tell me why I had to walk my ass back here tonight?"

Right. They'd ditched him. Whoops?

Okay, look, they had a reason. One of them being an absolutely trashed John B. He rarely got piss drunk but on the occasions that he did, there was a high chance he'd either do something really stupid or fall dead asleep and Leah had preferred to have him fall asleep at home then on the beach for her and the other's to drag him to the van.

Plus, JJ's attention had been firmly elsewhere at the time.

"Yeah, John B got a little too drunk and I was covered in beer and Kie and Pope have to work tomorrow so we decided to call it," she answered, feeling slightly guilty that they'd bailed on him. She gave him a regretful smile. "We were gonna get you, but you seemed ... preoccupied."

From the start of the party, some girl had practically latched herself onto JJ, and as usual, he lapped up all the attention. Leah didn't blame the girl. JJ was probably the hottest guy on the island, but Leah didn't really want to see him making out with some girl right in front of her.

But, uh, not that she cared. Obviously.

She changed the subject, trying not to sound like some bitter little baby. "So we just, uh, left. Pope said he texted you to let you know."

Pope definitely did not text JJ, but the blond wasn't going to fault him for it. No harm, no foul, especially since he most likely drove home with Kie tonight. God knows Pope was ass over elbows for their friend.

JJ nodded slowly a few times, like he was bobbing his head to an invisible beat. He could already tell he wasn't going to get a good high from John B's shit stash, but at least the keg at the boneyard had gotten him buzzed enough.

The keg, which reminded him of something. "Speaking of beer — "

"We weren't speaking of beer."

"Speaking, thinking, same difference," JJ dismissed, giving a nudge to her leg. "Why were you covered in beer again?"

Leah groaned, letting her head toss back in annoyance. "Fucking Kooks, that's why."

JJ frowned. "I mean, sure, but how ... ?"

Leah sighed, taking one last hit before leaning forward to hand him the joint. When she let the smoke go, she said, "Well, there was this guy I was with for most of the night. I don't know if you saw me after we ditched keg duty."

Oh, JJ had noticed. He definitely fucking noticed.

"He looked like a preppy asshole," he commented, trying to seem nonchalant. It was a wonder Leah bought it, because really he just sounded like a petty little bitch. He brought the joint to his lips, asking, "What happened to your no Kook rule?"

"He was a Touron," Leah replied. "A rich-y rich one, but a Touron all the same."

"But I thought you said — "

"Kook comes in later," she told him. She adjusted her position in the hammock, playing with the hem of JJ's shirt. "Although the Touron was actually a preppy asshole, so you're not really wrong. I mean, he seemed nice at first? But he was also ridiculously boring and full of himself. Ended up being a total dick."

"So basically he was a Kook without the Figure Eight address?"

"Pretty much. So anyways, we're talking and he's mostly going on about himself, which, like, fine, whatever, I was just waiting for him to wanna make out with me anyways — " She didn't notice the way JJ's eyes narrowed just a bit. " — And some fucking Kook drunk off his ass knocks into us and his beer spills all over me."

JJ let out a low whistle. "That blows."

"Oh, definitely. So my shirt's fucking drenched, like, I'm a mess, right? And you'd think any halfway decent person would like, I don't know, be good about the situation? Nope, the fucker decided it would be a great time to make a wet t-shirt contest joke about my boobs. Or, according to him, lack thereof."

Leah rolled her eyes as she laughed at the stupidity of it all, leaning over to snatch the joint back, taking another hit off it. She'd been pissed at first, but the look on his face when she dumped her drink on him was enough to ease her mind.

JJ on the other hand didn't seem as amused. "You're kidding me, right?"

"Like I said, total dick."

"You should've come and got me, would've had him on his ass."

The angry look in JJ's eyes was enough to make a soft smile break across Leah's face. That alone seemed to dim some of the irritation in his expression.

"Easy there, killer," she told him, leaning up to pat him on his leg. "I already threw the rest of my drink at him."

JJ conceded with a grumble, a part of him slightly amused at the thought, but he still muttered, "Still could use his ass kicked though."

"He could've, but I also don't need you fighting every guy who so much as looks at me the wrong way," she snorted. "Besides, I think you're forgetting I have a very nice right hook of my own."

The mental image of Leah socking Rafe Cameron in the face was enough to make them both burst out laughing.

It was a few minutes before all the laughter was out of their systems and they were back to a mellow quiet, the sounds of crickets chirping filling the air.

"So why were you even hanging out with him if he was such a boring dick?"

Because you had your tongue down that girl's throat.

She didn't really know how to answer his question without verging on embarrassing, friendship destroying, Pogue rule number one breaking honesty.

"Boredom? I don't know. Just looking for someone to hook up with, I guess," she replied, not really noticing how he bristled at her answer. Instead, she took an opportunity to try her hand at another smoke right, squealing in delight when a wonky, yet undeniably round ring blew from her lips. "Look!"

JJ grinned at the childlike wonder in her eyes, swaying slightly as she made the hammock swing a little with her excited bounces. He shook his head at her, watching her slip back to rest more comfortably in the hammock, her legs nudging his every so often. His gaze was absentmindedly fixed on the sight of his shirt on her when she cut into his thoughts.

"So, uh, how come you're not with ... " Leah trailed off. She didn't know the girl's name nor did she really want to. She was also worried if she kept going, a twinge of jealousy would leak into her words.

She was totally not jealous, though, by the way. Just to make that clear.

"Just wasn't really vibing," JJ said casually.

In all honesty, he'd only really stopped vibing when he saw that stupid fucking tourist all over Leah. The guy had looked like a dick and her story pretty much proved it, but the sight of them had tanked his mood incredibly. So when his own Touron had invited him back to the place she was staying, JJ bailed.

There were only so many times you could hook up with other people while thinking of the same goddamn person, especially when you shouldn't — no, couldn't be thinking about that person.

Because they were your best friend and you were a fucking idiot.

"Oh."

He leaned over, plucking the joint from her fingers. He took a hit, letting the smoke seep out of his mouth after a moment. He tried to play the situation off, grinning at her. "Eh, not a big deal. Besides, why would I want to be there when I can chill with my best friend?"

The words best friend hung in the air between them.

Neither one of them liked the way it sounded.

Neither one of them had the guts to do anything about it.

Yashahime: Princess Half-Demon Episode 16 Review

https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/review/yashahime-princess-half-demon/episode-16/.168486

I got a bad feeling about "Double-Edged Moroha" from the moment it started. You'd think, given that last week's episode randomly decided to break away from the story to have a flashback story time with Riku, that the show would take even a scant minute or two to establish things like context and pacing: Where the girls are. Why they are there. Some vague idea about how long it has been since that godforsaken misadventure with the Rapey Mountain Arsonist. You know, the simple stuff that helps the audience figure out what the hell is going on. But no, it doesn't even take a couple of seconds for Yashahime to start screwing up the most basic rules of “How to Tell a Coherent Story”, as we're plunged right into the middle of some anonymous mountain valley or something, with Moroha staring down Yawaragi, telling her cousins that there's some major beef going back three whole years that needs settling. If you don't recognize who this woman is, she's one of the Wolf Tribe members who has appeared exactly one time in the series before now, in a single frame from the very end of last-week's episode.

It honestly feels like something got supremely screwed up in the show's pre-production, and the Yashahime staff realized that they needed to cut an episode right out of the middle of the run, so they took the final scenes from the episode that led up to this climactic showdown between Moroha and Yawaragi, cut everything else that came before it, and slapped it on to the beginning of “Double-Edged Moroha”. Maybe that would explain the seemingly arbitrary placement of the Big Reveal episode from last week? The way it was written meant it could have been aired at almost any time and made an equal amount of sense (read: Not a whole lot), and the only information from “Farewell Under the Lunar Eclipse” that ties into “Double-Edged Moroha” at all is that Moroha ended up with Kouga and the wolves when her parents got sucked into the Black Pearl. If we hadn't gotten that single shot of Moroha being left to the wolves by Hachi, then “Double-Edged Moroha” would have come across as completely nonsensical. As it stands, it's now only 95% nonsense, which is technically an improvement. Good job, I guess?

If you couldn't tell, this was yet another episode of Yashahime that made me absolutely furious with how poorly written and executed it was, but in order to fully explain why, I'll need to cover the events of “Double-Edged Moroha” in chronological order, because the flashback-structure of the episode is stupid and pointless. We begin with the very last flashback, which shows us how Yawaragi attempted to train Moroha in the art of mastering her demonic transformations. We later learn that Kagome apparently placed a seal on these powers in some scene that we never got to actually see because the show was too busy failing at Towa and Setsuna's backstories, but Yawaragi decided to give Moroha the power to transform into Beniyasha with the rouge. Yawaragi then spends years yelling at Moroha for relying on the rouge too much and warning her about how too many transformations will result in her becoming a permanently bloodthirsty monster, so, uh, great call there, Yawaragi. Really thought that one through.

Anyways, one of the days Moroha goes berserk with her Beniyasha self and ends up calling down the wrath of a horde of

terribly-animated Birds of Paradise

before passing out. Instead of doing the logical thing and running away, Yawaragi just sort of stands there and decides they're screwed. That's when a weasel man (who is very helpfully named “Weasel Man”) wanders into frame from literally nowhere and offers to sell Yawaragi the Armor of the Iron Rat he's wearing, so that she can blow up the Birds of Paradise and whatnot. Not only is the completely random appearance of this obviously sketchy weasel not draw Yawaragi's suspicions at all, she also doesn't seem to find it odd that the guy can't even remove the armor himself without getting another person to unlock it with a key. Keep in mind that, for the entire duration of this stupid, stupid conversation, Yawaragi could have very easily just run away from all those birds and hid in a cave or something, but no, she casually takes the armor from the weasel, and wouldn't you know it, the darned thing is cursed to eventually crush its wearer to death unless they pay an exorbitant fee to the smithy rats for another key.

This is, to put it mildly, a very silly chain of events that do not paint Yawaragi in the smartest light, but we just have to roll with it, because that set of Iron-Rat Armor is precisely why Moroha has found herself sold into indentured servitude for the last three years. You see, Yawaragi decided that Moroha needed to complete the “crucible of Kodoku”, which has the eleven-year-old fighting a horde of demons in a spooky cave by herself to…get stronger, and master fighting without relying on Beniyasha, somehow? Yawaragi claims that Moroha needs to absorb the powers of the strongest demon in the cave, but she definitely did not do that, and we've never seen any of these so-called disastrous consequences of the Beniyasha transformation so far, which makes the entire venture basically pointless for our little heroine. For Yawaragi's part, the whole thing seems to have been an excuse to do some gambling with Jyubei, because she previously lost a bunch of ryou in the demon gambling house, which one apparently has to travel through in order to even get to the Crucible of Kodoku; also she needs, like, thirteen Ryou in order to buy a key for the armor that is going to eventually kill her. All of this leads to Jyubei offering to buy Moroha as his own little bounty-hunting slave, which Yawaragi accepts instantaneously, and there you have it: The ridiculous, contrived, and ultimately meaningless explanation for why Moroha has been trying to buy her way out of debt for three years.

Then, the second flashback, which is actually the most recent chronologically, shows us how it took Yawaragi three whole years to get to that damned hidden village of rats, only to discover that Konton arrived just beforehand and killed all of them. Whoopsie! We even get a nice shot of a dead rat mother cradling the corpse of her rat child – a weirdly dark moment that Yashahime certainly hasn't earned or anything – just to remind you that these Four Perils are super evil and powerful (despite the fact that they keep getting their asses kicked by a trio of teenagers who can barely be bothered to acknowledge their existence). Konton makes a deal with Yawaragi that he'll hand over the key if she kills Moroha and the others, and she accepts. “But!” Yashahime then asks, “Is she really going to betray her adopted daughter figure? Or is Yawaragi preparing Moroha for the final and most important lesson of her training?”

The answer is clearly supposed to be that second one, but Yashahime is just so goddamn bad at even the simplest character writing that the point doesn't land. Throughout all of these flashbacks, Moroha and Yawaragi have been dueling one-on-one, with Towa and Setsuna being told to sit uselessly on the sidelines, and Yawaragi keeps insisting that Moroha use her “creative imagination” to beat her, instead of relying on the rouge. This kind of falls flat when Moroha's victory just comes from her busting out a new special move, the Crimson Dragon Wave, which is neither a creative or imaginative resolution to the fight. Every Yashahime fight boils down to some combination of the girls' different special attacks, so why is this any different?

Way late in the episode, Konton suddenly teleports into the fight to gloat at Yawaragi. Nobody else really notices or acknowledges Konton's arrival, though you'd think this is the point where Towa and Setsuna would get off their butts and do something, because it isn't like Moroha's honor would be besmirched by kicking Konton's ass again. The show even forgets to include Konton in the next couple of shots of Yawaragi reacting to Moroha's attacks, even though it is absolutely critical that he be standing right behind her, because when Moroha unleashes the Crimson Dragon Wave, she whips behind Konton to hold him down in an act of self-sacrifice.

Here's the kicker, though: The guy can teleport. Yawaragi just saw him do this, and not thirty seconds earlier! So it shouldn't be surprising to anybody when Konton uses his Rainbow Pearl powers to teleport out of Yawaragi's arms and escapes anyways while the other girls throw some useless attacks at him. So, to recap: The audience learns that Yawaragi created the whole issue of Moroha's Beniyasha transformation in the first place, and she then spent years fruitlessly attempting to undo the problem, including purchasing a deadly set of cursed armor from a random weasel that was traipsing about the forest one day. All of this led to Moroha being sold to Jyubei, which was ultimately pointless because Yawaragi just ended up being coerced into attacking Moroha by Konton, and the one thing that might have made this entire cavalcade of terminally stupid decisions worthwhile – killing Konton – ended up being foiled by random Rainbow Pearl Powers. In other words, absolutely nothing of importance was learned, the girls are not one step closer to any of their goals, and Moroha inadvertently murdered Yawaragi for no reason. It is positively stunning when Yawaragi dies, and the show has the gall to play the moment off like some huge, emotional payoff…except Moroha is more or less fine by the time the credits roll.

Good Lord, this show is continuing to outdo itself in all of the worst ways. I won't damn it with the non-score of Episode 14, because “Double-Edged Moroha” at least has some halfway-decent looking action to try and distract you from how bad everything else is. I did, however, spend far too much time teaching myself how to use image-editing software so I could slap together this dumb meme that perfectly sums up my feelings about Yashahime at the moment. That said, it was probably more time and effort than anybody working on the show spent going over its sorry excuse of a script.

AssClass OC

Mai’s Relationships: Part 1

I’m procrastinating on homework and decided to work on this random ass post about my OC 😂

Her profile is linked here UwU

Warning: this is extremely long and detailed

Tomohito Sugino

Address each other as: “Tomohito” or “Domo” and “Mai”

(The Domo nickname is inspired by one of Fumiko’s ideas UwU)

Besties. Nothing can ever change that. He was the first friend she made when she transferred to Kunugigaoka in 2nd year, and they’ve stuck together since then.

Although their very first meeting was a little unconventional...Sugino almost accidentally hit her with a baseball and she almost threw hands hehe. But they got along instantly after that.

They bonded with similar outgoing, positive personalities and a shared fondness for sports. They hang out all the time and have become so comfortable with each other, they can just randomly show up to each other’s house. Sugino’s family basically adopted Mai, and her family loves him. It’s common to see these two hanging out at a corner store, tossing baseballs at each other to catch, sending memes in class, etc.

Mai is very defensive of him, and will absolutely speak up about his baseball skill, kind nature, leadership, etc. She even stays by his side during the baseball arc to support him. Nakamura calls them platonic soulmates, and both of them honestly agree.

They bicker sometimes since they both can be fiery, but it’s out of fun 95% of the time. The rare occasions they seriously fight are because of Sugino’s overprotective nature/patronizing, and Mai’s clinginess and tendency to get jealous.��But regardless of any differences, they will always have each other’s backs. Chaotic besties forever.

Yukiko Kanzaki

Address each other as: “Yukiko” and “Mai”

They did not get off to a good start...it was rather rocky. They just didn’t have good impressions of each other, and neither cared to truly get to know the other. Kanzaki thought Mai was hyper, brash, and difficult. Mai thought Kanzaki was stuck-up and vain because of her idol status. The girls avoided each other, and Mai was less than ecstatic to hear about Sugino’s crush.

Finally they’re forced to spend time together during the Kyoto trip, when Group 4 forms. They begin to get along more and find a couple shared interests, the ice slowly breaking. Then the kidnapping happens, and Mai stays with the boys and Okuda to find them. Mai is given a job to discreetly locate the girls inside the warehouse and basically figure out it’s layout. She sneaks in and sees the girls, and unintentionally hears Kanzaki’s secret about her 2nd year gaming phase, and is shocked. But now she feels more understanding for her. Mai and the guys and Okuda save the girls, and she especially approaches Kanzaki, making sure she’s okay. Kanzaki opens up to the whole group about liking video games and such.

Later that night at the hotel, Mai admits to Kanzaki that she overheard her family story and rebellious phase without meaning to. Kanzaki says it’s okay, and thanks her for saving them, and for understanding. They both admit they had misconceptions about each other, but see that they’re not true.

The girls have an extremely close friendship after that, sharing interests in video games, e-girl fashion, etc. Mai’s competitive nature dies every time she plays against Kanzaki and gets completely owned and teased. They hang out a lot, and Kanzaki comes to basically live at Mai’s home, with how often she’s there. They’re the type of friends to sneak out of an important meeting to play games and talk together. They both become very protective of each other, and grow to think of each other as family.

They definitely balance each other out in terms of personalities and attitudes. Kanzaki is more calm and rational compared to Mai’s bold and outspoken self. Mai’s open-book nature contrasting against Kanzaki’s aloof image. Even if these differences can lead to some clashes, they both appreciate it a lot, and value each other’s views.

Also they definitely try to help each other with their best/worst subjects. Kanzaki trying to help Mai with Japanese work is the funniest thing to see because eventually they just mutually give up and move onto video games.

Hinata Okano

Address each other as: “Hinata” and “Mai”

These two are like two halves. Plain and simple. They hit it off super well on the first day of meeting each other, which was in 3-E. Well, it’s more like Mai wouldn’t stop bothering her or starting up conversation lmao. But they had instant chemistry, especially when around mutual close friends like Kayano and Maehara.

As soon as she realized they had the same birthday, Mai happily declared them to be sisters, and nothing would ever change that. Okano rolled her eyes, but secretly loved it. Okano uses that against her, saying that “Since she’s the older sister, do as she says.” But Mai always retorts with “But I’m taller.”

They’re extremely close, and bond over so many things. Being sporty, liking skate-boarding, teasing Maehara, etc. They’re definitely each other’s go-to person for venting and confiding in, since they somehow are almost always on the same wavelength.

They can get into bad arguments though, given their similar temperaments. But it’s over in 2.5 seconds, and after screaming at each other, they’re laughing at memes together.

They love challenging each other in PE and assassination-related things since they have pretty similar styles. They love when they get partnered together, although it’s not as common as they’d like. Overall just an adorably vicious combo of short-tempered cuties.

Justice Kimura

Address each other as: “Kimura” and “Mai”

Oh boy. Whenever these two are around each other, they just become a wild gremlin duo. They equally enable each other when it comes to being chaotic. They’re just really good friends who can be playful with each other.

They became friends and got to know each other mainly thanks to PE and mutual friends like the class athletes. Before they knew it, they started to just hang out without others, they vibed so well.

Kimura lives to make Mai burst out laughing with his random edgy jokes and humor. There’s just always a lot of laughter whenever these two are together.

That said, Mai is not immune to Kimura’s worst antics, like the parkour incident. For the first time, she gets so upset at him but after yelling her head off like he expects, she just crumples to the floor and cries. She really needed that good grade to show her mom, and because Gakushuu had spent so much time tutoring her...

Kimura feels like shit and apologizes, and they don’t talk for a couple days. Mai definitely forgives him and moves past it though. Sometime during watching the kids at the school, she hugs him and apologizes for going off on him. Kimura says it’s okay since he was being a selfish idiot in the first place. Their friendship goes back to normal UwU.

Mai loves to tease Kimura for A LOT of reasons, but his name is never one of them. She calls him “Shorty,” “Dumpling,” and always pinches his chubby cheeks, to his annoyance. She definitely roasts him whenever he pulls some harmless stupid stunt that results in disaster. But on a serious note, she’s his biggest hype-man and always cheers him on in PE and in schoolwork. If anyone makes fun of his name, she absolutely will deck them.

Karma Akabane

Address each other as: “Karma” and “May-chan”

Almost everyone was nervous on his first day, and how these would inevitably meet. The class was certain that Karma would test Mai’s already-thin patience, and they wouldn’t get along.

But to their surprise...these two did get along. Really well, actually.

Mai, a natural moodmaker and very open-minded girl, appreciated Karma’s quirks and the odd mystery surrounding everything he did. She thought he made an already weird-situation even wackier and more interesting. She also couldn’t help but have respect for how successful he was at his first try, although it was buried under her envy.

Karma in turn also appreciated her, and how she was so easy to read. Mai is literally an open book, which Karma gravitates towards. In the first ten minutes of meeting her, he realized she was totally fun to tease because of how irritated and snappy she’d get. Hence, their friendship formed and Karma teases her every single day. He also calls her “May-chan” in a very exaggerated American accent since her name is commonly mispronounced like that, and it’s the quickest way to annoy her.

Overall, these two are really good friends, but definitely in a very sibling-like manner. They make fun of each other a lot, but would murder anyone else (outside of 3-E) who dares to. Even though they’re around the same age, it sometimes feels as though Mai is his younger sister. She loves to drag him around by the arm sleeve or wrist, for no other reason to drive him crazy. Also, they both are strawberry snack enthusiasts, which they bond over. Occasionally, Mai will assist him in his pranks, just to try and make sure she doesn’t become the target of one. Nope, she still is. She’s either entertained by or tired of his shit.

Also...these two clash a bit in Civil War, because Karma’s vagueness really frustrates her. In general, Mai tries to keep an open perspective of the issues surrounding Group 4 leading up to Civil War, so she’s not completely pissed at him. But she does call him out and speak to him upfront about what problems he’s causing.

Don’t worry, their relationship definitely improves afterwards, once everyone receives some closure. Their teasing sibling-like dynamic continues to stay throughout high school and in the future.

Note

So I dodged a HUGE bullet by not going out with/continuing to be friends with this guy after our awful first date bc it turns out he's super racist and just an awful person in general (I had no idea at the time we were talking and only found out recently from a friend) but last night I was at dinner with my best friend and we were talking about it and she found his instagram and found a poem he wrote talking about how some girl broke his heart and "burned all of their bridges on the way out" from around the time I cut him off and we're like 95% sure it's about me. If it is, he wrote it after we went on one (1!!!) date on which he didn't treat me very well

Not really sure how to feel about it but it's a little bit funny if it's actually about me

Oh wow! Even if that poem wasn’t about you, that makes it even worse because he clearly wasn’t in the right frame of mind to be dating again if he’d just had his heart broken. And if it is about you, that’s wild that he’d be so dramatic after just one date.

Stuff like this makes dating a little scary. In college I went on a few dates with this guy who seemed nice until he randomly started criticizing me for not swearing after we’d hung out and accused me of thinking I was better than everyone else just because of that.

You really never know with people but I’m glad you were able to end things with that guy sooner rather than later. And I’m also sorry you had that experience! I know you can find some better quality dates in the future though. ❤️

Thanks for sharing your story anon! I’m sending you virtual hugs and positive vibes 😘😘

-Cindy ❤️

Still owns the horse that Izuna gave him when he was a kid

Has not gotten out of his horse phase

Will roast anyone who disrespects women to death

Takes monopoly way too seriously

He stopped talking to Shisui for a month after a game of Monopoly

Looks calm on the outside but is screaming on the inside

Is a conspiracy theorist

Doesn't really show it but gets embarrassed easily

He is just the baby of the family that acts aloof and emo but is just cute and precious

It’s the Little Things

I appreciate the talk that I had with @the-witches-son this morning about Romione.

Some believe that I think they’re incompatible due to Hermione being academically smart and Ron being...laid back, I suppose.

But, as witches son and I discussed things Rowling could’ve done to improve their relationship, her intelligence and them not having like interests didn’t come up. As I mentioned in the otter post, and I’ll reiterate her: my biggest issue is Rowling’s laziness in building their relationship.

Things she could’ve done instead:

1. Don’t just have Ron remind her to eat, have him feed her. Rowling could’ve had Ron pick up extra food (sneak it out) to give to Hermione when she’s overworking herself. It doesn’t have to play as romantic or even call serious attention to it, but readers we read these warm, thoughtful moments between them and it’d be stuck in our consciousness. Feeding someone is intimate and it plays into how Romoine shippers say that Ron is female coded and hermione is male coded.

There could even be a subtle evolution with the feeding her dynamic. Maybe at first she brushes him away and doesn’t eat the food, and then she resigns to his pestering and feeds herself. Ultimately, she’s like, “Ron, you know I don’t like ____. Did you at least get the____?” Ron, “they ran out, my bad.”

I’d sign up for that shit! 👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾

Hell, you could have hermione steal some food from Ron during mealtimes and he be like, “I already fed you!!!”

2. If Harry is biased about their arguing because he doesn’t like bickering, it plays unrealistic that no one ever accuses them of liking each other.

One day in class, my guy friend and I were talking about some random shit. This girl randomly just asks us, “do y’all like each other?” I look at her and said, “no, we’re just really good friends.” Months later, we did realize that we liked each other, but others observed it before we reached that conclusion. Even people we didn’t know randomly came up and asked us. I later found out that, at least one fourth of the school thought we were dating and we hadn’t even kissed and teachers also thought we were a thing or suspected something (that they discussed with students).

Despite all of that, we never dated.

Rowling should’ve had Hagrid or some teacher assume they were together and students say something (witches-son’s observation). Perhaps have lavender be like, “hermione, are you and Ron...a thing?” Hermione, “no...no! Ron is my bestmate.” Lavender, “oh, it’s just you spend so much time with him, much more than Harry and I just thought you two had something going on.”

It’s even more baffling because people are determined to believe guys and girls can’t be friends. I don’t think I have one guy friend that someone hasn’t assumed the guy liked me. It would be minor stuff. A friend treated me to a lunch and I was told by someone else this was a date. A friend let me borrow his car to go out of town and I was told he liked me (he was gay).

Basically, let characters assume that they like each other and are dating. It plants a seed in the readers head that these people may have a point (or they’re just reading into shit).

3. Let them have in jokes, push each other, and be (faux) competitors academically. Rowling should’ve counterbalanced Harry’s perception of their bickering with other ways Ron and hermione bonded. Just saying they spent time together or talked outside of Harry shows that they’re friends. But, despite their “opposites attract” schtick, seeing the ways they bond and care for each other shows why these two “opposites” would fall for each other.

Say if I would get a 93% and my guy friend got a 95%, he’d say, “I’m smarter than you. 😏”

If I got an 86%, he’d ask me, “why didnt you perform as well on the test? 😕 is something wrong?”

Ron competing with hermione isn’t supposed to be taken seriously, but as a joke between two friends. Rowling could’ve even had something where Ron did phenomenal on a test, and then goes back to average. When hermione questions him, Ron says, “I’m fine with the grades I have, I don’t like studying for hours for As. You love studying, but as long as I do well, that’s fine with me.”

Witches-son suggested that Ron play up his expectations of her academic performance as playful teasing for her being a know it all. Or if someone outperformed her, Ron would make it his mission to help her get top rank. That would’ve played as fun and cute.

4. Rowling’s over prioritization of Ron and Harry’s relationship. I know that this is Harry’s series, but they always read to me as best friends who are basically brothers where as hermione was a really good friend they cared for as well.

Since Ron and hermione hung out so much, the second time they kicked her out of the group should’ve been played different. This could play back to him feeding her. Either he doesn’t and she gets sick, which makes him upset at himself. Or he still feeds her, begrudgingly, but they don’t talk. (Gahhhh! That would’ve played as sweet)

There would be instances where Ron (almost) brings her up and stops. Or that it’s clear to Harry and others that he misses her. I’m sure someone will correct me, but both times she was kicked out of the group, life went on. She didn’t seem missed.

For two people to spend so much time together, constantly talk, and eventually develop feelings, this doesn’t ring true. That’s a good chunk of your life missing in a sense.

Even if hermione isn’t as important as harry to Ron, it needs to be clear that she’s still really fucking important to him and life isn’t the same without her (the same with her).

5. Cut the whole “You’re a girl???”

I had a male best friend when I was like...6 or 7. This is around the age where boys believe girls have cooties. I remember when I was in class and my best friend was like, “eww, girls have cooties.” Then, immediately said to me, “but, not you.” He saw me as a girl, but I was his best friend, so I guess I was immune from it. Lol

Ron was older than my friend and doesn’t see hermione as a girl until how many years??? Due to their closeness, in all likelihood, he would humanize her and appreciate/value her differences as a girl compared to Harry’s boyness. Her gender is apparent to him, but not in the forefront.

There can still be that miscommunication that serves as a roadblock to them getting together. Callback to lavender, “hermione said you two were just bestmates.” Cue Ron dating her and hermione getting with Viktor.

Despite all of this, none of this needs to have this huge focus or any more than their storyline already did. None of this would take away from Harry’s story. But, it just feels like canon support is really metas opposed to moments that we can look at and say, “clearly something was brewing or changed for them.”

Max Einstein: The Genius Experiment - Review

Or overview, really, since I know a lot of you were curious but didn’t want to go through the ordeal of reading it. At least not before someone else screened it. So... you’re welcome.

Authors: James Patterson and Chris Grabenstein

Published: 2018

Genre: middle grade adventure

Overall impressions: Conceptually, I liked it. The plot was intriguing, and Max was a likable character. It suffered from the usual problems of a Patterson production: too fast-paced, not enough details, not enough time spent on character building. (Some of these points will come up in my annotations.) However, it worked as a middle-grade novel. It had a lot of empowering messages for kids, as well as an intriguing and mysterious yet fairly simple plot of good versus evil. The lack of specific detail and fast-paced plot is (unfortunately) common in middle-grade novels, so I can’t exactly fault it for that. I’m going to assume it’s far below the reading level of anyone reading this review, but it’s still an interesting read and I’m planning on reading the sequel, whenever it comes out. There were a lot of unanswered questions regarding Max’s past that I really wish were addressed in this book rather than being saved for later.

My reading notes, by page number, are under the cut (warning for a good amount of swearing, and obviously spoilers).

1 - This girl is living in a dilapidated house?? Where are her parents? (Knowing JP she probably doesn’t have parents.)

3 - Oh! Okay! She’s homeless and living above a horse stable. What the fuck.

10 - Randomly bringing up the “I’m an orphan” thing in narration. Typical.

11 - Doesn’t her suitcase get too heavy with all the books in it?

15 - She goes to school???

19 - Bold of you to assume the cops would actually listen to Max

21 - I’d like more of the backstory on Max’s early childhood, since she has that suitcase but doesn’t know who her parents are. Then where did she get her name? [It’s mentioned later that she doesn’t even have a birth certificate.]

29 - HOW is she in college?? At NYU??

32 - Well, this is sketchy as fuck

33 - ...Max watches The Big Bang Theory??

36 - McS’cuse me?? No one’s going to stop this? A lecture hall full of students and no one’s concerned?? [In the scene in question, Max is being dragged out of the lecture hall by two guys in black suits. It would have been interesting, and more realistic, if another student had tried to intervene. You’d think at least a handful of people in a group of 18-22 year olds might feel protective of the only 12-year-old in their class.]

44 - Aww I like Quincy

If that dude wanted to, like, kidnap Max, why send her to the foster care place at all? [This is later explained, although I don’t think it was a good enough justification.]

48 - Why send her to middle school either?

...God I would’ve loved this in middle school. I probably needed it.

As usual, I just wish the narration would slow down. Add more details.

Actually I’m personally offended by how much this book sounds like something I would’ve written in middle school.

59 - Those two seem kinda sketchy NGL

66 - Don’t you fucking DARE touch Quincy

67 - Okay but what’s the point of disposing of people who aren’t really even a threat? [It’s always putting them in a “re-education” or whatever facility, too, which is probably just because the authors didn’t want the villains outright murdering people, even off-page.]

74 - Max just seems too naive/trusting considering what her life has been like thus far. Or maybe I’m used to Patterson protagonists being snarky and cynical. Both, maybe.

75 - 1. Why is Quincy a snitch? 2. Why would Max have told him anything anyway? They didn’t talk much.

83 - This is sketchy as hell. It just seems too good to be true.

95 - Sketchier and sketchier.

100 - One kid wins? Why not just have them all work together to solve the world’s problems? Also: I know they’re “geniuses,” but why only use children? Because they’re impressionable and malleable? Tend to take things at face value?

[The twist at the end, which I won’t reveal, actually makes the design of the test and a lot of the oversights make a lot more sense.]

113 - “Original investment,” “Einstein Project”... was Max genetically engineered by the Corp? Conspiracy theory.

127 - So I guess Yahav is a spy. Fun.

167 - Why the fuck is Yahav still here? He should’ve been fired!!

I wish Quincy had been a major character...

[Got a case of “getting attached to a minor side character with 0.5 personality traits” syndrome.]

172 - Boy, these villains sure are cartoonishly evil capitalists

200 - Can Klaus please stop being such a dick?

208 - Are they even allowed to mention Tony Stark in here? Like, legally?

You know, this is suspiciously similar to Genius: The Game, which was written by Leopoldo Gout. According to his author bio on Amazon, he’s a filmmaker and has worked with James Patterson on a number of projects (including, I believe, the Maximum Ride movie). Coincidence? Probably not.

227 - I’m beginning to think you don’t know what “mercenary” means

230 - “The girl” come on, y’all know her name

244 - Wait, why aren’t they just troubleshooting to see if they can solve the problem? Why aren’t the geniuses being geniusy? Also: this “failure” isn’t solely on Max’s shoulders, so why is everyone acting like it is?

269 - I’m sorry, what

278 - If you suspected Yahav was a spy, why didn’t you get rid of him??

296 - EXPERIMENTS?? Maximum Ride, where you at??

301 - Why let them go??

315 - I’M SORRY, WHAT

Given the nature of this story, the twist makes sense, but WHAT

God please don’t make this het. Max is 12. She’s too young for romantic subplots.

...That’s the end of my annotations! If anyone else wants to read this book and yell about it with me, my ask box and messages are always open. (You can probably find it in your library’s middle grade section; that’s where I found this copy.)

Also, there’s some pretty gorgeous artwork in the back by different artists. I kinda want prints of them.

Otome Game: Ikemen Series

I recently watched the anime “Ikemen Sengoku: Toki wo Kakeru ga Koi wa Hajimaranai”, which is a spin-off of the otome game “Ikemen Sengoku: Toki wo Kakeru Koi”. I just randomly stumbled upon it, I didn’t even know the original game, but I did enjoy it. So I tried downloading the game when I found out you could play it for free in English!

It was the first time I’ve ever played an otome game. I was so lost at first, but then I just gradually understood how things worked. A lot of planning is also needed to progress constantly in the game if you’re going to play it completely free like I do. You do NOT have to pay a single cent to read and complete any of the routes. It will just take more time than if you did, and you just won’t get all the fancy items and bonuses.

Anyway, I ended up obsessed. I don’t even know how. So I started downloading other otome games as well. As it turned out, not all otome games are equal (which should have been obvious), and I didn’t quite enjoy a lot of them. Whether it was because the main character (i.e. the girl you play or “you”) was annoying, or the guys were pretty much just wanting to kiss ‘you’ at every opportunity, or the story was non-existent, or the interface was horrible, there were a lot of reasons why a lot of the other games didn’t work for me.

I did enjoy some other games. And among my favorites are the other games in the Ikemen series, which is a series of otome games by Cybird which includes the aforementioned “Ikemen Sengoku”. Japanese Website. English Website.

I’ve played (am playing) five games in the Ikemen series, and though all five were among the good ones in the games I’ve tried, within those five there were games I liked more than the others. Below is a short summary/review of the ones I’ve played. Keep in mind that specific story reviews are especially susceptible to my own guy preferences.

Ikémen Sengoku: Romances Across Time

Japanese: イケメン戦国◆時をかける恋 (Ikemen Sengoku: Toki wo Kakeru Koi) Language played: English Interface: ★★★★☆ 　Simple, consistent, easy-to-use Music: ★★☆☆☆ 　Okay

ou play this girl who wants to become a fashion designer. You accidentally time travel to the Warring States (Sengoku) period of Japan, and save Oda Nobunaga from what should have been his death.

This was the first ever otome game I played. What brought me to try this out, aside from having enjoyed the short anime, was also my love for history. All the guys you can choose in this game are actual historical figures, except for Sarutobi Sasuke (the guy you time travel with who is named after a fictional ninja). It was just interesting to me which parts of history they kept the same and what they changed. It was also fun seeing how they decided to portray each guy.

I’m playing Oda Nobunaga and so far it has been fun. I’ve already chosen to go down the dramatic route, and will be finishing this version of his story soon. The MC has been great and sassy for most of the story, though she kinda got a little iffy (she is now making excuses to accept some actions she was previously against, and I feel the justification is lacking and it makes her inconsistent) in the recent parts I read. Not too bad, but hoping she recovers in the remaining chapters. (His story up to Chapter 10: ★★★☆☆) I’m already 95% sure I’m choosing Tokugawa Ieyasu’s story after, but the remaining 5% wants to choose Date Masamune. >_< Oh well, I’ll decide when I get there.

Midnight Cinderella: Ikémen Royal Romances

Japanese: イケメン王宮◆真夜中のシンデレラ (Ikemen Oukyuu: Mayonaka no Cinderella) Language Played: English Interface: ★★☆☆☆ Simple, a little inconvenient at some parts, overall okay Music: ★☆☆☆☆ Ehh...

The king doesn’t have a successor and the law in your kingdom is that a princess must be chosen from the citizens. You are now the new princess, and you have to choose your prince.

Compared to Sengoku, the story in this one seems to focus completely on the guy you’ve chosen. There’s little space for everything/everyone else. Whether that’s a plus or minus will depend on the person. The MC in this one, or at least how she’s portrayed, just keeps on thinking of the guy. It irritates me at times, but fortunately she’s not clingy and actually does stand up for herself.

I’ve already finished the Honey ending to Byron Wagner’s main story. The funny thing is I chose him for the sole reason that he’s a king of his own kingdom, while the other guys were just nobles. =)) It was okay. A little cliche and slightly too cheesy for me, but nothing cringe-y I guess. (His story: ★★☆☆☆) I’m currently playing Leo Crawford, a talented bureaucrat and your tutor. (His story up to Chapter 3: ★★★☆☆)

Destined to Love: Ikémen Samurai Romances

Japanese: イケメン幕末◆運命の恋 (Ikemen Bakumatsu: Unmei no Koi) Language Played: English Interface: ★☆☆☆☆ It’s simple... too simple. So many clicks required for supposedly easy tasks. I guess if you just read the story it doesn’t matter, though. Music: ★★☆☆☆ Okay

You accidentally time travel back to the end of Japan’s Edo period (Bakumatsu) with no idea how to get back and are caught in between the conflict of the Shinsengumi and the Imperialists.

Like with Sengoku, the history aspect of this game piqued my interest. However, it also worried me because it seemed like it was going to be super similar to Sengoku. What I did like though was the fact that this game got me to research its characters and I ended up knowing a lot about this particular period of Japanese history. I knew quite a lot about the Sengoku period, but very little about the Bakumatsu except for that which I learned while watching the 2015 Japanese drama 天皇の料理番 (Tennou no Ryouriban), which was great, by the way.

I’m playing Sakamoto Ryoma. I liked their interactions before and after they got together. But the transition in between? There was no such thing. Everything happened so suddenly, by the time I realized it, they were confessing their love. It’s just really the transitions between events in general that I find so lacking.The story is pretty slow and a quite poorly executed, it’s really more focused on the feelings than any plot. (His story up to Chapter 10: ★★☆☆☆) I’m choosing between Okita Soji and Hijikata Toshizo for my next play through. I hope Kondo Isami has a story soon.

Ikémen Revolution: Love & Magic in Wonderland

Japanese: イケメン革命◆アリスと恋の魔法 (Ikemen Kakumei: Alice to Koi no Mahou) Language Played: English Interface: ★★★☆☆ If this only the app didn’t freeze every now and then, this would have five stars. Beautiful graphics, design, etc. Music: ★★★★★ Great, beautiful, amazing, ahhhhhhh

You follow a man to return his pocket-watch and end up discovering that Wonderland is real. The Red Hearts and the Black Spades armies are about to go to war and you get caught up in it.

To be completely honest, I only downloaded this because I found out that both Okamoto Nobuhiko and Hanae Natsuki are voicing two of the characters. I ended up not choosing their characters, though, because both are in the red army whose philosophy is about prestige and lineage. The black army with their philosophy of freedom and merit just really called out to me. I find the whole setting for this game amazing, how they just used the Alice in Wonderland theme with all the magic and the characters!

I chose to play Fenrir Godspeed’s story. He’s the Ace of Spades. I am super loving the story because it encompasses your whole experience in Cradle (Wonderland) and not just your romance with the guy. I found out, though, that not everyone likes it this way when I saw a complaint on a review in Playstore that the guys “should hit on the girl more” and there should be “less focus on the war”. I personally found it nice this way. It makes for a more complete story. You also have more interactions with characters other than your chosen guy compared to other otome games. I also chose Fenrir at random and am pleasantly surprised to find I quite enjoy his character. I hope this stays true to the end. (His story up to Part 11: ★★★★★)

Ikemen Vampire

Full Title: イケメンヴァンパイア◆偉人たちと恋の誘惑 (Ikemen Vampire: Ijintachi to Koi no Yuuwaku) Language Played: Japanese Interface: ★★★★★ A similar interface to Revolution and it doesn’t freeze? Of course it’s getting 5 stars. Music: ★★★★☆ Beautiful

You go on a trip to France and go through a mysterious door that leads you to meet 12 great men known all over the world. They are all supposed to be from different countries, and different time periods, and more importantly... all supposed to be dead.

When I saw “Ikemen Vampire”, it didn’t really attract me. But after ignoring it for the longest time, I finally decided to read what it was actually about and lo and behold, it’s actually another time travel story and this time, with characters all connected only by the fact they’ve left a mark in history! The twelfth dude is called Sebastian and I don’t think he’s a historical figure, but I could be wrong. Below are the other characters:

Napoleon Bonaparte

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart

Leonardo da Vinci

Arthur Conan Doyle

Vincent van Gogh

Theodorus van Gogh

Osamu Dazai

Isaac Newton

William Shakespeare

Jeanne d’Arc

Count of St. Germain

I’m currently playing Vincent van Gogh’s story. He’s probably the kindest otome game character I’ve played so far. The MC has also been good so far. Nothing annoying, and all conceivable and understandable reactions. Like with Revolution, I love the small interactions with other characters you didn’t choose. And having Vincent’s little brother Theo in the story also offers a new and funny element. (His story up to Part 7: ★★★☆☆)

Anyway, this game isn’t available in English so I’m playing it in Japanese. I just wish people would stop giving it low ratings on Playstore just because it’s not available in English. The app was put up in Japanese, and there was no false information about its availability in English, either. I understand wanting it to be translated (I also want it in English even if I can read in Japanese). But if your only complaint is that it is not in a language you understand, I don’t think you should be giving it low ratings. Those comments ended up hiding the actual reviews of the game.

In the near future, I might also try the other games they have only available in Japanese:

スイートルームの眠り姫◆セレブ的贅沢恋愛 (Sleeping Beauty in the Suite Room)

新章イケメン大奥◆禁じられた恋

100日間のプリンセス◆もうひとつのイケメン王宮

There also イケメン夜曲◆ロミオと秘密のジュリエット (Love, Lies, & a Heist: Ikemen Royale) for which there seems to be an English translation already. If not, there’s always the Japanese.

But I think I’m more interested for this new game they are working on イケメンライブ　恋の歌をキミに which looks to be about music and musicians!

The Joker x Reader - 10 Things The Joker Randomly Does That Kind of Prove He Cares

1. J is in a good mood more often. It strangely happened after he met you: the first year he had two good days the whole year, the second year he had four and this year is about to have the sixth day and the year is not even over yet! A new record.

The King of Gotham calls you Insanity when he’s in a good mood; that’s the signal you can ask for pretty much whatever you want and he won’t say no.

“Hey Insanity,” J greets when you open your eyes in the morning.

You gasp. OMG, he’s gonna be in a good mood today, such a rare occurrence!

“Hi handsome,” you kiss him super-fast and don’t waste a single moment so you start your tirade:

“Can we spend the day at the beach?”

“Yeah.”

Jackpot!

“Can we make love instead of having sex?”

“Yeah.”

Jackpot!

“Can we hold hands more than 20 seconds?”

“Yeah.”

Jackpot!

“Can we say lovey-dovey things to each other?” “Don’t push it, Insanity.”

Crap.

But you remember your secret weapon and sweetly smile. J squirms, uncomfortable. “Ummm…maybe…no guarantees.”

Jackpot!

“Can we make out for more than 10 minutes before you undress me?”

“Yeah.”

Jackpot!

“Can I call you “my sexy Metal Mouth” after you undress me?”

“Don’t push it, Insanity!”

Crap.

Oh no, here’s the sweet smile again and your boyfriend fusses under the covers, uneasy.

“Ummm…maybe…just once…no guarantees…”

Jackpot!

2. The Joker never buys you flowers but he makes sure fresh ones are delivered for each room at the penthouse every three days. He likes to break a random one from the bouquets and places it behind your ear.

You’re usually reading a book but stop when he does that.

“Thank you baby,” and you smile in such a sweet way it catches him off guard. You go back to your reading and he sits there, staring and mumbling words. “Want me to get you anything?” you offer, turning the page; can’t really tell what he said.

“No, I have stuff to do!” he sulks, slowly walking away. What J actually said was that you look very cute with that flower but got pissed at himself since you almost heard him. A very unique way to give his girl flowers but it counts; gets a solid E for Effort.

3. He is reeeaaally straining to do something nice for you once a month.

It’s July, 95 degrees out there; scorching hot and The Joker places his jacket around your shoulders. He saw that in a movie once and figured chicks dig it.

“I’m so hot already,” you try to give it back and see he’s getting angry and then it hits: must be that one nice thing he does monthly. “On the other hand, the air conditioning in the car is going to be full blast and you know I get cold easily.” You keep his jacket and J keeps his cool.

For August he plans to outrun every single nice thing he ever did for you: since you can’t swim he’s going to push you in the river, leave you in there for a bit and save you before you drawn. My God, you will love that for sure!

4. He takes you to casinos because you like to gamble.

His business partners own your favorite so they close out and seal a whole room just for you two to play the slots machines.

“Baby, I’m not winning!” you stump your foot, pouting.

J loses his shit.

“Why is my girl not winning, hm?” he yells at the guys.

“Well, sir, it’s just luck,” one comments and The Clown Prince of Crime is not happy with the answer.

“My woman needs no luck, SHE HAS ME ! If she doesn’t win in the next 15 minutes, you’ll see what happens !!!!” and J hands you over another stack of 100 dollars bills because you like to play maximum bet and you run out of money pretty fast.

Fortunately, you win $100,000 and it makes you so excited you jump up and down, clapping and laughing. The Joker is excited too for a different reason: he keeps on glaring at your cleavage and your boobs almost bursting out of the tight fabric.

You don’t collect the money because you don’t need it: you just like to win. The blue eyed devil just KNOWS you will be this enthusiastic next month also when he will toss you in the river to let you drawn. You will certainly jump up and down after he saves you.

Probably J’s gonna have a huge surprise regarding his plan, but for now we’ll let him believe in his dream; gets a solid D for Delusional.

5. The Joker goes insane if he only gets a hint somebody is disrespecting his Queen.

Once he shot somebody because the man said “hello” to you and J didn’t like the tone of his voice. Actually, the dude had a cold; that’s why he sounded weird. Oops!

Another time J thought a guy was giving you the evil eye and stabbed him on the spot.Actually, the dude just had corrective eye surgery and was blinking faster than normal. Oops!

Today is legit though. Both walked in at the meeting right when two smugglers were talking garbage about his Princess. They were saying you look average, not that attractive and The Joker could do better.

He absolutely lost his marbles ! Beat them to a pulp while screaming:

“My woman is not that attractive?! By whose standards you pieces of shit ?! Every time I look at her, my pants are getting tighter !! Do you understand what I’m saying?! I like her and that’s the only standard there is!” and he keeps on kicking them and punching them, completely out of control.

After he’s done and your henchmen take bodies away, you have to ice his bruised up hands; the skin is scraped too.

“Thank you,” you kiss his knuckles and emerge them back in the iced water, smitten by his actions. “Nobody did this for me before, you’re my hero,” you point out, drunk on euphoria.

“This town already has a hero; goddamned Batsy takes all the glory! The bastard is selfish, hates to share the spotlight!” J rolls his eyes.

“Who cares about him?! You’re my hero,” you kiss him and have to say: “I think your pants are getting tighter,” and he growls:

“Either I need new pants or I need to get laid.”

“We’ll go with the second option, OK?” you sweetly smile again and he’s feeling warmer even with his hands in ice.

“If you insist,” he sighs, hating the fact that he did two nice things for you this month instead of just one.

6. The Joker can’t cook but once a week he makes breakfast in bed.

Takes him an hour and a half to finish and you are famished. Finally shows up with toast, a boiled egg and salt.

“What took you so long? I’m starving!” you whine, seeing there is almost nothing on your plate…again.

“You can’t rush these things, Kitten ! It has to be perfect, OK?” he raises his voice and you realize you talked too much.

“It is very good,” you take a bite of your toast. “You are getting better and better at this!” you praise his aptitudes and strike his ego.

“I am basically a chef,” J concludes and you peck his cheek, mesmerized by how he has such an outstanding opinion about himself.

“And my hero,” you add and he takes a deep breath, pride making his chest go up and down faster. “Batsy can’t even compare to you.”

“Precisely, Pumpkin. He’s just a psycho out of control.”

“Indeed,” you agree, wanting to emphasize that nobody is sexier than your sexy Metal Mouth but you already used the opportunity when he was in a good mood the other day so you shut up.

7. J is aware you love his purple coat so he custom ordered an outfit for you made of the same crock material, this way you match.

It’s a two piece ensemble: a very skimpy little bra and an equally flimsy thong, only for him to see. You were thinking you’re getting a halter top and a skirt or something? Ha! Forget about it!

8. The Joker comforts you when you cry.

“Seriously, Kitten, you’re not ugly,” he caresses your hair while holding you in his arms.

“I am ugly!!” you continue to bawl, making a mess of his favorite silver shirt.

“Hey, look at me,” J lifts your chin up, forcing your eyes to meet, this way maybe he can save whatever is left of his shirt also. “When I wake up in the morning and I see you, I don’t get scared. If you were ugly, I would freak out. But I don’t, which means you look fine.”

“You mean it?” you sniffle, squeezing him harder.

“Absolutely. It could be much worse.”

“So now I look bad and I could look worse in the future?!” whaling restarts.

He walked right into this one unprepared.

“Nahhhh, it can’t get worse than this,” he kisses you and then adds since you cry your eyes out. “ What the hell, I’m teasing; calm down woman! Crying makes you very ugly!”

You stop instantly.

I guess he was prepared after all.

9. He gives you massages even if you don’t ask for them.

For some reason, his hands always slip in your undies.

“That’s not my back,” you utter and J is quick to respond:

“My bad, Pumpkin.”

For some reason, his hands always get to your boobs afterwards.

“That’s not my back.”

“My bad, Princess.”

“Did you just say my Bat?” you tease and your butt gets pinched.

“Hilarious! Want him to come and give you a massage too?!”

“I wouldn’t mind,” the reply makes The Joker turn you around and you get pinned under his body.

“Watch it, you bad girl!” he snarls, smelling your freshly washed hair.

“Did you just say Bat girl?” you giggle and he grinds his teeth:

“Are you starting to get a kink for Batsy?”

“Me?! No way! I like my hero,” you stretch your neck to kiss him and he purrs, wanting to get the most out of it.

“I am your hero; remember that next month in August,OK?”

He is surely referring to that nice thing he’ll do for you when you’ll be pushed in the river to drawn and he’ll save you in the last moment. Oh, yeah, you’ll enjoy it tremendously!

10. J learns French just for you.

Spent the whole day fussing around with the dictionary, three laptops and five books until he realized he got what he wanted out of it.

“Princess, I’m done,” your boyfriend announces, victorious.

You can’t wait to hear everything, you’re gonna lose your mind. The Joker takes a deep breath and pronounces with perfect accent:

“Voulez vous coucher avec moi ce soir?” (Do you want to sleep with me tonight?)

That’s all he knows.

Holy Commissar Gordon! That’s sooo hot because it’s the only French you know too. Plus the answer:

“Oui, (yes)" you wink at him and he is totally turned on.

“Oh my God, Y/N, you didn’t tell me you speak French fluently!”

“Surprise,” you grin, signaling him to come closer. “We gotta compare notes, don’t you think?”

“Definitely,” J licks his lips, ready to comply since his pants are getting tighter.

Hmmm…either he needs new pants or he needs to get laid. I suppose you’ll go with the second option one more time.

incomplete list of reasons to love Jude Law by yours truly

(that nobody asked for and that got really long ‘cause I have no self-control and just really love this dork) (updated kinda unregularly but steadily) (also I can provide sources for like 95% of these, so if you have a specific question, feel free to ask me)

charity:

jude does an awful lot for charity but my favorite things include:

he got invited by Peace One Day to say a few words into a camera and felt that wasn’t enough so he spontanously joined their trip to Afghanistan, helping shooting a documentary and played a significant role in establishing peace for a day, to get vaccination and food to especially children, who usually cannot get reached by charities due to the danger of the war zone

he also became an active ambassador for Peace One Day back then and still now, 10+ years later, takes this role very seriously

jude spoke up against the dictatorship of belarus, defending the freedom of speech and of the press, leading to all of his films being banned there

he urged the british government to let refugee children in and personally visited the refugee camp ‘jungle’ several times for weeks to bring the media’s attention to it

he wrote a letter to the WTO urging them to keep protecting baby seals when the EU thought about giving up the import ban for their fur

he also participated in a project where you pay for the house of someone in an african country and as a reward get shown around the neighbourhood by the person you helped, however the teacher of a near by school heard Jude Law would come to visit the city so she asked him if he would be so kind to make an acting course for the children which he immediately said yes to

jokingly got asked by a woman/fan he just met if he could sponsor her in a charity run and he immediately said yes

when he was working with aspiring actors and directors, who were all children/teenagers for a charity event, he informed himself about their previous and current projects beforehand to be able to talk with them about it and encourage them futher

when he found out about a teenager making a small documentary about freedom of speech, he immediately called him personally and offered an interview with him, making the guy’s life (and film)

he plays an active role in providing free theater tickets to children in Lewisham, London, which is rather poor part of London in which he was born and grew up with, to help less fortunate kids to be able to experience art as well

generally speaking he thinks it’s important to use fame to get the media’s attention to important issues and help to fix them

not exactly a charity thing but he is really polite and helps people a lot, e.g. he once stopped giving autographs to fans to carry heavy boxes for a struggling elderly woman nearby only to come back to the fans once he was finished helping her

he is such a family man:

it felt completely natural for him to settle down at the age of 19 with a woman who is seven years older than him and already had a four year old child

he bought a lot of his sister’s paintings and hung them up at home because he loves and supports her

he often takes his mum and/or dad with him to events

said nothing makes more a man out of you than when your will gets broken by your 1-year-old daughter

when he is driving alone, he always turns on the radio channel his kids always listen to because it reminds him of them and makes him feel like home

he made his agent angry with him because he turned down Hollywood blockbusters early in his career to have more time for his family

he spends as much time with his family as possible

even when he is in another country, he makes sure they can either fly to visit him or he can fly back home as much as he/they wants/want

generally he just loves the domestic life and being surrounded by his kids, having to cook for them, getting them to school etc

he also really loves cuddling them but respects if they don’t want to

he is (by far) the strict parent because it’s incredibly important for him that his kids have good manners and are polite

still makes sure they know how much he loves them and that they can always count on him if they need his help

missed out one of AGOS press conferences because his 10 y/o son had a local football match and that simply was more important to him

and a goddamn nerd:

he named his first daughter after his favorite author

and is a comic book nerd in general

when he got gifted a copy of the complete peanuts for his kids, he decided to keep it for himself because he really really loves the peanuts

he also has/had a snoopy jacket

and bought a dog sculpture called snoopy

at a young age he already had an ridiculous amount of knowledge about films from the 20s

he got a fandom tattoo at the age of 18

and loves childrens literature

is a huge fan of cartoons and kids films as well

always loved shakespeare, even as a child in school, because the language he used felt natural to him

he once kept his favorite poem first on his fridge and then above his bed

his work ethics and the way he behaves on set are beautiful:

bothers to learn the names of everyone on a film set and is totally willing to listen to them if they want to talk to him

is generally always described as warm and welcoming towards anyone

randomly takes film crew members out for dinner

he was very parental towards the kids in The Holiday, “pop his head round the door when [they] were doing [their] schooling”, chatted with their dad etc.

he and Cameron also made the effort to get the personalized denim jackets made with inscriptions of their names and “The Holiday” and “Hollywood 2006,” once the shooting was over and gave them to the girls personally

he always wanted to be known for his acting not his looks

when shooting the film wilde (1997), stephen fry was afraid his co-stars would feel uncomfortable during sex scenes with him, so jude and the two other actors made sure fry felt comfortable and was at ease

he is always hard working

and does tons of research for his roles and even writes entire essays about his characters

to play Albus Dumbledore, he watched footage of Picasso painting as he wanted to observe the brush movements to get a a good feeling about how to use a wand

jude is always looking for a new challenge acting-wise

and really nervous about his skills everytime he is at a new set so to distract himself he simply talks to everyone

he always panics at first when joining a new project but eventually calms himself down and reminds himself to just do his best

even when he was one of the best paid actors in the world, he still worked on films with smaller budgets that would have never been able to pay him the amount he could demand, because he always cared more about working on projects he cares about than making the most money out of it

other random facts about him that are just adorable:

he pretty much ha sno tolerance for toxic masculinity

jude often spends the weekend on the couch reading and falling asleep a lot

he reads an awful lot in general and often gives book recommendations in interviews (you can find a list of his recommendations here!)

he writes and paints in his freetime

his superpowers in real life are being patient, really good at making chocolate cakes and able to fall asleep anywhere

jude really loves food too (from pretty much every country)

he uses his natural charm to make the people surrounding him feel secure

and often pulls faces in pictures

he is currently trying to learn how to play the piano

and thinks it’s important to be able to laugh about oneself (especially as an actor) and does so a lot

so when he became sexiest man alive, his friends gave him toilet seat with his picture printed on and he kept it

but he always tries to hide his face when he gets embarrassed

he supports equal rights for everyone and is really open-minded in general

jude is interested in fashion but also keeps wearing the same things for like a decade

he hates people who just throw their litter on the ground because that’s “disrespectful”

and just mean people in general

he is really really warm and soft

he thinks it’s important not only for little girls but also little boys to grow up with films like Captain Marvel so they all learn women in positions of power are right

jude is always up to date when it comes to things that matter like politics and theater but has absolutely no clue about internet/social media culture

he gets really along with children in general

he said romance means an awful lot to him

he has a huge crush is Judi Dench

he is really into spicy found so he pretty much carries a bottle of tabasco with him everywhere to be able to flavour the food he orders like he wants to, instead of bothering the cook about it

he even takes one with him on planes

when asked what he thinks about Caitlyn Jenner changing her sex he said he doesn’t know what to say other than ‘good on everyone’ (after he talked about how he basically lives under a rock and had no idea who she was)

he always has to picture the cardinal directions in order to remember them

and often tries out new things while cooking

jude doesn’t give a damn about what’s considered “manly”

and hates the word ‘bromance’

he is a really passionate person

his voice sometimes breaks when he is laughing

and he uses his entire body while laughing

he respects other cultures and is always happy to try something new

he always stands up when a woman enters the room

jude is incredibly positive and loving

when asked if the world is ready for a gay children’s icon (Dumbledore), he said he thinks it’s ready and that if it isn’t it “bloody well should be”

he never excuses his mistakes or runs away from them but instead admits he fucked up, apologizes and tries to make up for them

his excitement and enthusiasm is really childlike

when an interviewer tried to be funny and asked who he is, he thought he really just didn’t know and replied politely with his name and offered him his hand because he is just such an humble idiot

he once got asked if women need to wear high heels to be attractive (in his opinion), he said that every woman is attractive when she is herself so it really doesn’t matter what she is wearing

when he had to choose a winner in a cooking contest, he felt so bad for the losers, he had to hug them

TL;DR: Jude is a fucking gem, protect him.

#im............so sorry for the lenght but writing this down kinda made me happy idk lmao #jude law #personal stuff #jl list #long post #jude

The Freshman 1-2

Book 1 - 2

Chapter 2: Rooftop Games

Comments: I enjoyed playing Choices The Freshman… and then I found this awesome group of people and their works - I’ve loved it all, very much so. Deciding that I wanted more interaction than the options allowed, I’ve gone through the first book, chapter by chapter (omg painfully slow) to follow the story (95-99% I’d say) and add to it as I felt would benefit.

Basically, I wanted to add certain things that weren’t really full fic size worthy, adding to the story. However, I did add some full size fic moments also… some are included in cannon chapters, some are their own full chapters in between. I wanted to see MC and Chris through their freshman year… with more angst, fluff, sweetness, real life and overall detail. So, if you like that pairing then you’ll be satisfied, otherwise sorry James & Kaitlyn fans lol. I even added some parts from Chris’s POV, so that we have a chance to see what he’s thinking, knowing what she experienced.

There will be ADULT and/or NSFW moments in certain chapters… this is the warning lol. Chances are I will miss it here and there otherwise lol.

Paring: MC x Chris

POV: ~MC~ or ~Chris~

~MC~

MC’s mouth falls open slightly. "Chris?! You're my roommate?"

He lets out a light chuckle. "So, that's why I recognized the name MC." He gently nods towards her. "Nice to see you again..." His eyes find hers, holding up a full smirk below. "...roomie."

"Yeah..." She tries not to trip over her words "...great to see you too." But her response comes out lame, as she is still trying to comprehend what just happened. She’s been thinking about him since literally running into his well muscled frame hours earlier, and here he is. 'This may be awkward... roommates?' She lets out a puff of air to get her hair out of her eyes.

"So..." He reaches to rub the back of his neck, again. Now she's sure it's a nervous behavior of his. She just hopes it's the 'happy nervous' type and not that he feels awkward about the situation. "...what about this roof, huh? You can see the whole town from up here..." He raises his arm, gesturing across the sparkling city, looking out into the darkness, admiring the lights.

"Yeah! So beautiful..." She moves next to him to share the view. It really was the best view in town. She wonders how the university was able to hold onto such a location with the intense development activity that has been growing over the last couple of years.

Just then a thin, spunky guy walks directly towards MC. His entire demeanor oozes personality and fun. Loose brown curls randomly lay across the top of his head in a purposefully haphazard way. His smile is infectious. She's immediately entranced by his person as a whole. "'Beautiful'? I can only assume you're talking about me." He grabs his jacket collar, popping it out with authority and confidence as he flashes her a huge smile.

"I wasn't..." Her eyes widen as she begins, caught off guard by his bold entrance.

His body softens at her reaction and he shifts to a warm apologetic smile. "I'm just messing with you. I know, I know, I can come on a little strong." He throws his hands up in the air. "The name is Zack, but you can call me your number one fan... cause you are straight up crushing that look." He bites his knuckle while appraising her choice in clothing.

MC instantly decides this guy is about to become one of her best friends. "Nice to meet you too..." She can't help it as a huge smile takes over her face as she continues. "...it sounds like you know fashion." She step towards him with her hand out, which he enthusiastically shakes.

"Well, one of my ex-boyfriends was a model, so... kind of?" He rubs his chin thoughtfully.

"I'd say that makes you our resident fashion expert." She nods her approval as she notices his outfit. His outfit alone probably cost more than just about everything she brought from home.

"Please promise me that means we can go shopping together sometime." Zack's face instantly lights up with the dream of future shopping sprees.

"Ahhhh! Only if I get to come too!" Kaitlyn pipes in from the sofa across the roof. The sheer look of panic in her face solidifies her seriousness.

MC’s eyes crinkle as she wholeheartedly agrees. "Sounds like fun." She nods, the idea of going shopping with these two already sounding like an adventure. She starts to imagine the trouble the three of them would get into when Abbie softly speaks.

"I feel like we're still missing someone..." She looks at all of them with her pinched brow. MC’s not sure if she's joking or being serious by her tone.

Chris looks past Abbie and gestures towards the roof edge. "There he is." At the far end of the roof, MC spots a guy sitting by himself, looking out at the stars.

Zack suddenly yells, interrupting the deep thoughts her last new roommate was clearly having. "Tyler! Enough with the shy nerd act! Get over here and talk to our new roommate!" Zack stomped his foot in a overly mocking way.

Tyler appears to startle as he is pulled from his stargazing. "Oh... hey there. I was just trying to see if I could spot Cassiopeia." He gestures towards the dark night sky. "The constellations are just a little different here than back home in California." His eyes wander back up, his mind beginning to leave the others on the roof once again.

Abbie moves to join him, also directing her view to the stars. "You're into stargazing? I used to do that all the time when I was little." A small smile sneaks across her lips.

Tyler turns his deep brown eyes back to her, surprised. "Oh really?" MC notices them holding each other's gaze for an extended amount of time before they both awkwardly smile and break eye contact, studying the heavens once again.

Suddenly Zack is at MC’s side, causing her to jump as he whispers in her ear. 'Holy crap..!' Her heart now attempting to beat out of her chest.

"MC, sidebar." He pulls her away from everyone, closer to the stairs. "Okay, just to fill you in, my boy Tyler has a massive insta-crush on Abbie. And I'm making it my mission in life to get those two crazy kids together. Are you with me?" His eyes are lit with excitement.

"You want me to play matchmaker with you?" MC looks from him back to Abbie and Tyler. It's easy to see how into each other they are. It reminds her of her first day as well, her gaze shifting to Chris who is talking with Kaitlyn, before she turns her full attention back to Zack, decision ready. "Consider this match MADE!"

He fist pumps and clasps her shoulder in a side hug. "Glad to have you on board. Let's get started." He stalks towards the others, rubbing his hands almost menacingly.

'Uh oh, maybe I should have asked some questions first...' As MC heads back to the group, Zack pretends to trip and accidentally pushes Abbie into Tyler.

"Tyler! I'm so sorry, I... er... thanks for catching me." Abbie blushes as she removes her hand from his chest. Tyler is holding both of her arms, trying to steady her as she regains her composure.

"Any time! Uh... I mean... any time you fall into me! Not... any other time!" He stumbles through his words, unsure what to do or say. MC notices him shrink back as he gives up and lets his embarrassment take over.

Zack sighs and leans towards MC, whispering. "This could take a while." She responds with a small smirk and head tilt, agreeing that it looks like he's nailed that assessment. They were already adorable though, so she resolves herself to do something soon.

Everyone's attention is back on the group as they all converge near the sitting area. Abbie and Tyler look uncomfortable, but happy as they choose separate seats that happen to be near each other. Kaitlyn had already made herself at home on the sofa, so MC and Zack join her.

Chris chooses to sit across from MC in one of the single chairs. "So... what now?" He reaches both arms up above his head to stretch, causing his shirt to rise slightly and expose his tight stomach muscles. MC’s mouth goes dry as he sinks deep into the chair, waiting for her to respond, apparently oblivious to her ogling. ‘Thankfully.’ She tries to brush away her blush with her bangs.

She meets his eyes and smiles. "I think this is supposed to be a party, right?"

He nods his head. "Maybe we could start with some drinks?" He looks around the group to gauge interest.

Kaitlyn suddenly uncurls herself and stands next to MC, almost knocking her over in the process. "Uh, MC, I've got a bottle of wine down in my room. Want to help me go get it?" Her eyes are big and feel like they are piercing straight through MC.

Her left eyebrow raises as she slowly responds to her question, unsure how to continue. "Do we really need two people to grab a bottle of---"

Kaitlyn cuts her off, grabbing her hand and dragging her towards the stairs. "Just come on!"

Once downstairs and out of earshot of the roof, she let's go and turns to face MC. "Okay. Confess. You're into Chris, aren't you?" She pulls her bottom lip in and chews on it a little.

"What? Me and Chris?" She begins. 'So much for not being obvious MC.' She scolds herself.

"I'm just trying to warn you... I'm pretty sure he mentioned something about a girlfriend." She holds her hands up in defense.

"What? You mean Becca?" Now MC’s confused. Becca said they weren't '...yet.' as she recalled their earlier conversation, if it even qualified as such.

"That bossy sorority girl we ran into at Welcome Week earlier?" Kaitlyn places her hands on her hips and makes the same scrunched up face of disgust she had during her previous run in with Becca.

"Yeah. When we first met, she was, like, Exorcist-level possessive of him." MC’s face mirrors Kaitlyn's thanks to her memories from the day.

Kaitlyn shakes her head lightly. "No, the girl Chris mentioned wasn't Becca. It was someone from back home." Her look turns thoughtful as she accesses some other conversation before MC arrived.

"Huh. Now I'm curious..." Kaitlyn studies her face as she continues. "...for my piece of mind if anything else. Becca has already been a huge pain in my side and today isn't even over." She sighs. ‘Right now, clarification would be great.’

"The truth is... I guess I'm kinda interested in Chris. Wouldn't mind getting to know him more... it seemed like we hit it off when we first met." MC gives Kaitlyn a small pinched smile, feeling her stomach do a few flips at the thought.

Kaitlyn flashes a bright toothy grin. "Well in that case, I'm pretty sure unknown how to get him to spill his guts."

"Oh yeah?" Just like with Zack behavior a few minutes ago, MC starts to become anxious. She suddenly feels uneasy with the idea of embarrassing things to come.

"Oh yeah. Watch and learn, my young apprentice." She winks at MC as she grabs her hand and turns towards the hall. Now she's even more unsure of Kaitlyn's future actions.

"Aren't we pretty much the same age?" MC gives her a puzzled look.

"Details, details. If we play our cards right, you'll get to ask Chris anything you want." She waves her hands around like a butterfly as she makes her way towards her room, grabbing the bottle of wine.

One they're both back on the rooftop, Kaitlyn opens the bottle and starts pouring it into glasses. She leans over and whispers to MC. "This is step one."

"Okay..." She can't help but give a small nervous smile.

Kaitlyn hands Chris a glass of wine which he politely takes. "Heh. I'm more of a beer guy, but thanks." He smiles and raises his glass in appreciation.

Kaitlyn then turns back to her. "Want a drink MC?"

"Wine?" She thinks about it, about the day, and what tomorrow may bring. "I'm out. Thanks for offering though."

"So responsible... I'm impressed." She mockingly sticks out her tongue and makes her way towards the others.

"Good. You should be." MC jokingly sticks hers back at Kaitlyn in retaliation. Zack passes out the glasses and Tyler pours MC a cup of sparkling cider to toast with. She thanks him and lets out a restful sigh, glad to not be the only one who decided not to drink this time.

Chris raises his glass to everyone in the circle. "To one hell of a freshman year! Cheers, everyone!" He makes contact with everyone's cups before taking a sip.

Zack taps his cup to MC’s. "I'll drink to that!"

Abbie also takes a drink, then looks around. "So... what now?"

Kaitlyn takes that moment as her queue. "I'm glad you asked Abbie... I think it's time for us to play some Truth or Truth."

Abbie looks confused. "What's that?"

Kaitlyn continues, "It's Truth or Dare... except you have to pick truth." Her infectious grin doesn't waver.

Zack's face falls a little as he realizes what this means. "No dares? So no ones running naked through the quad?"

Kaitlyn pokes at him playfully. "All in good time. We've got a whole year together after all."

Zack's face returns to its normal happy self. "Fair point. And since it was your suggestion, why don't you answer the first 'truth,' Kaitlyn?"

Caught completely off guard by his quick suggestion, she stumbles through her words, reaching. "Oh, why don't we start with someone else? Like... Chris, for example."

Zack blocks her escape instantaneously. "Nice try!" He turns to MC. "Go ahead, MC. Ask her something!"

MC realizes that while she's still nervous of what Kaitlyn might do, it could be fun. "Okay, Kaitlyn... what's your most embarrassing secret?"

"Ugh, you just had to go there, didn't you?" She lowers her head into her hands, almost forlornly.

Guilt seeps into MC’s body and she retracts her request. "You don't have to answer if you don't want to."

Kaitlyn could feel MC’s regret for making her uncomfortable so she shakes her head. "No, no. Rules are rules. My most embarrassing secret... is probably the fact that you can still access my MySpace site from middle school. I forgot my login info, so my awkward goth phase is still on the internet for the whole world to see..."

Abbie gasps. "Oh my god. You have to show us!" Her face is a mixture of shock and amusement.

"Nooooo way. Not happening. Besides... you guys couldn't handle xXSorrowfulRaven95Xx's poetry." Kaitlyn holds her hands up as if to stop everyone's advancement.

MC’s interest is now piqued. "Poetry?"

Tyler pulls out his iPhone and diligently begins his search. "Searching that username now, and... oh god. This is amazing." His eyes are transfixed on the screen, his face glowing in the dark night. They all crowd around Tyler's phone screen to see middle-school Kaitlyn, in tattered fishnets and combat boots, pouting through smeared eyeshadow.

"No no no! Please don't look!" She mock cries, while simultaneously smiling. MC begins to think she intentionally wanted to laugh at herself.

Abbie starts reading from the page out loud. "Favorite band: Evanescence? Latest status: 'We are all the masks we wear. And mine is weeping.' This is gold." Her features soften and a toothy smile appears as she continues to scan the information on the page.

MC turns towards Kaitlyn, with a half grin, half pout. "Oh, poor Kaitlyn!"

Chris stands straight and turns towards the raven haired girl. "Hey, if you need to cry, we're all here for you." He extends his arms, ready to provide her comfort.

"Very funny. Let's move on, shall we?" She snorts and rolls her eyes, mockingly sticking out her tongue, all while still clearly amused.

Soon, it's Zack's turn to ask a question. He puts on an exaggerated thinking face and scratches his chin... "Hmmmm, what to ask, what to ask... Got it! I want someone to tell me their ultimate fancy!" Realizing his mistake instantly, he tries again. "Sorry, ultimate fantasy... this is some strong wine!" He picks up his glass and sniffs it.

"Oh you're a total lightweight." Kaitlyn waves her hand in his general direction as she slumps lower on the rug.

Chris laughs. "Says the girl who's gone from sitting on the couch to lying on the ground after two glasses..."

"What? It's comfortable..." She begins to stroke the rug as if she's about to take a nap. MC grins and laugh with Chris.

MC turns to her new fashionista friend. "So Zack, who's 'ultimate fancy' did you want to hear about?" She decides his first word choice was the best.

"You know what... I already forgot! Who should I ask, MC?" His eyes narrow as he looks at her.

She looks around the group, noticing that Abbie and Tyler are trying to avoid her scrutiny at all costs. Kaitlyn was still playing with the rug, completely indifferent, and Chris... well he was in the same spot, sitting directly across, his eyes locked onto hers. She taps her finger on her lips, dragging the moment out for a while longer.

MC catches the corner of his lip turning up as his eyes break contact with hers to settle on her contemplating lips. His eyes linger there, taking a deep slow breath, as he shifts uncomfortably in the chair. Her confidence increases thanks to his reaction, so she bites the tip of her tongue, grinning and nodding towards Chris. He suddenly focuses, acting nonchalant as he turns his attention to Zack.

"Okay, Chris. I want to know your ultimate fantasy." MC bites her lip, trying not to correct his 'fantasy' with the more appropriate choice of 'fancy.' British humor was a guilty pleasure of hers.

Chris studies his cup. "Wow. Let's see." He thinks for a few seconds, running his right hand through his messy hair.

MC stares in awe as his muscles move beneath his firm fitting red Henley shirt. It was such a simple piece of clothing but it was perfect on him. She wanted to know what it, and the muscles hidden underneath it, felt like. She nips at at her bottom lip, trying to stifle the heat she just created for herself.

Chris continues, unaware of her current struggle. "Nothin too crazy... Like, I'm a fireman, and I save a girl from a burning building. And then she's really... grateful." He swallows hard in disbelief that he was actually saying this out loud. "You know what I mean." He looks back at MC and she notices a mild blush creeping up his neck as he gently clears his throat with an embarrassed cough.

Kaitlyn rolls over, completely on her back and grabs MC’s ankle with a squeeze, her eyes connecting with her friend. "Oh yeah? We definitely know what you mean." She wiggles her eyebrows and snicker-snorts.

MC laughs at her and shakes her leg as if she was swatting at her, knowing Kaitlyn was going to get her in trouble. Turning back to Chris, MC raises an eyebrow. "Interesting... I guess we should be careful not to leave any candles burning up here..." She pauses, an idea popping into her head, "...or maybe we should leave them burning."

Kaitlyn likes this suggestion and gives an agreeing “Oooooh....!’ As she squeezes MC’s ankle again, causing her to giggle more.

The blush from Chris' neck spreads to his face, but he maintains his composure. MC suddenly wonders how much it would take to make him crack.

"That part is up to you, I guess." He states softly.

MC lightly chews on the corner of her lower lip and holds her breath, looking away because she suddenly can't take the intensity of his eyes.

Zack starts fanning his neck. "Weird. Did it just get warmer? I thought it was cooling off..." Kaitlyn grabs an empty cup and tosses it at him from her comfortable spot on the rug. He laughs at her, "...is that a no? Just me then..." Abbie and Tyler both smirk in unison at them all.

The game continues as MC waits for an opportunity to ask Chris a question.

Abbie rolls her eyes and crosses her arms defiantly. "Ugh, don't freak out, but... I've never actually kissed a guy." Her face falls, but Tyler glances sideways towards her. He looks shocked at first, then it melts into relief.

Zack sharply holds up his hand. "Wait, not even one?" His eyes grow wide. "I've kissed, like, twenty!" He throws his arms wide as if to somehow demonstrate a number with his wingspan.

"On the same day?" Tyler pipes in, clearly shocked at the number if the answer was yes.

"Very funny Tyler." He sticks his tongue out, then becomes thoughtful, scratching his head. "Although... three of them were on the same day, yeah." Everyone laughs at his ridiculousness.

More time passes as the group gets to know each other through tales of dark secrets and honest experiences. Kaitlyn has finally pulled herself back on the sofa. "...and the best part is? I never got caught." She sits up straighter, proud of her achievement with the smile of a Cheshire Cat.

Zack stares at her in awe. "Okay, you're officially the coolest person I've ever met!"

MC shakes her head, her mouth open in mock horror. "Who skinny-dips in a public pool?!"

Kaitlyn places her hand across her heart and prestigiously replies. "Heroes, MC. Heroes."

Everyone laughs before Zack switches gears. "Okay, Tyler... I dare you to kiss--" Zack enthusiastically begins.

"You can't dare me to kiss anyone. There are no dares!" Tyler quickly interrupts. MC could feel the anxiety rolling off of him from Zack's mention of a kiss.

"Oh yeah, I forgot..." Zack sighs and looks down into his cup.

As more time passes, more truths are told. Chris then looks at MC with a smile. "Looks like it's your turn to ask me a question, MC."

She's almost startles as she's been distracted with all the new and interesting things everyone's been sharing, forgetting she had a mission. ‘Or maybe it was Kaitlyn who had the mission..?’ Deep down she knew she didn't really forget, she was unsure how to proceed.

Kaitlyn leans over to whisper to MC while she thinks of a question, her eyes still locked with Chris's. "Try not to be too obvious, MC." MC jokingly pushes her with her elbow, casing Kaitlyn to lean back, taking a sip from her cup.

MC stops herself from fidgeting with her hair, pushing herself to speak after debating internally for a minute. She places her hands on her thighs, trying to wipe off the collecting sweat. "Chris... what's the weirdest place you've ever hooked up?" She was torn, between curiosity and instant regret, hoping he wouldn't become weirded out.

Kaitlyn suddenly seems very awake again. "Ooh, nice!" She starts biting her nails while grinning as she waits for his response.

His demeanor changes slightly as he sinks deeper into his seat. "The weirdest place I hooked up, huh?" His brow furrows and he rubs his temple. "My girlfriend - well, ex-girlfriend - set up a romantic picnic for our two-year anniversary right on my high school football field. The sun set, one thing led to another, and... we got chased off by the cops, and I lost my favorite shirt. Still... those were good times." He ended solemnly, a small smile briefly crossing his face before it completely vanishes.

MC can feel his sadness from across the table. "Sounds like she was pretty special to you." She says in a low, somewhat hushed tone.

He looks deep in his cup, fidgeting with the rim. "She was. I wasn't going to go into this, but... my ex's name is Nichole... and she's the first person I ever loved. We were together for three years." He counted three fingers out, tapping them on the cup thoughtfully.

Zack genuinely looks surprised, his eyebrows raised high as he glances towards MC.

Chris continues, "But when she decided to go to another college, she dumped me on the spot." He still doesn't look up, the sadness now rolling off of his person in waves.

Abbie's mouth drops open, "That's so... harsh." She looks towards Tyler and he frowns, nodding in agreement. They both look away, unsure how to react further, MC noticing their moods completely shift.

Chris looks up around the group quickly before turning his gaze back down to his hands. "To be honest... I'm still not over her. And it'll probably be awhile before I am." He looks up and around the group again, now aware how serious the tone has become. He forces a smile out for everyone to see. "That's why I promised myself that I'm just going to have fun here. No serious relationships for at least a year." He nods to himself.

MC tries to show him honest support at his brave admission. "Huh... that's smart. You've got to protect yourself... and it won't be fair to the next girl you date if you're still not over your ex." She gives him a smile.

He looks at her with a serious and thankful expression in return. "Exactly." Clearly ready to leave the spotlight, he continues. "Listen, enough about me. Can I ask MC a question in return?" He looks towards Kaitlyn and Zack, as they have been arguing the "rules" all night.

MC looks at them as well. "What do the rules say Kaitlyn?" Kaitlyn leans over slightly, nudging her shoulder with MC’s.

Zack scoffs on her other side, mockingly rolls his eyes. "So far it seems like the rules are whatever Kaitlyn wants them to be."

Kaitlyn nods and smiles, waving an imaginary wand, gavel, or some other authoritative object. "Ask away, Chris!"

As he looks back, MC can tell this is different. His tone, facial expression, body language - he's suddenly very serious. "Okay MC... what's your take on love?"

She knew his question would have an edge from the look on his face, but she honestly didn't expect this question. However she doesn't disappoint, holding her ground, accepting it as fair. "My take on love?" She repeats as he takes a deep breath, holding it longer than normal. "I'm open to love, but..." She pauses, making sure she's very clear, "...I'm not desperate." She needs him to understand that, even though he may have already formed a different opinion from their interactions earlier in the day.

It seems like he doesn't move for ages, then slowly he gives a slight nod. "Seems wise. Best to just let it happen." He looks calm, almost peaceful.

Maybe she misread his earlier interest, thinking that he may be trying to make sure she doesn't try and corner him. She wonders what motivated that question though, as the path to this point hasn't been very straightforward. Now she was confused but decided to let it drop, abolishing any disappointment she may have had. Either way, they both now had a clear understanding how the other now felt. "Exactly."

Kaitlyn seems to pick up on something else though, her eyes crackling with excitement. "Interesting... very interesting." No one seems to hear her though.

A few rounds of drinks and many questions later, Abbie looks at her phone to check the time. "Well, I've hit my embarrassment quota for the night, so I think I'm going to turn in..." She stands and stretches.

Kaitlyn pouts from her folded position on the sofa. "What? It's so early!"

Tyler looks at her incredulously. "It's two in the morning..." He rubs his arm and yawns. "And it's become a little chilly out..."

Kaitlyn joins them, standing quickly. "Exactly!" She exclaims, the pauses before continuing, obviously rethinking how she felt. "Honestly... I am a little tired. But I just want to say this is the most fun I've ever had."

Tyler nods with a rare, shy grin. "Me too." He quickly looks towards Abbie and then back to Kaitlyn when she quickly averts her gaze from his.

Chris follows everyone's lead and stands up to stretch as well. "It's going to be an amazing year. I'm so glad I have you guys as suitemates." Smiling warmly he looks around the group. "I feel like we all know each other so well now too." He lightly chuckles.

Kaitlyn catches Tyler's yawn and does so herself. "And on that note, I'll see you in the morning." She salutes everyone and begins following Tyler and Abbie towards the stairs.

Zack moves right in line with her. "I actually think I'll head to bed too. Besides... we've got plenty of nights like these to look forward to, right?" He nudges Kaitlyn in the side.

Kaitlyn smiles and agrees. "I guess you're right." As she and the others leave the roof, Kaitlyn shoots MC and Chris one last, meaningful look.

Chris catches it and furrows his brow, turning toward MC with a questioning expression. "What was that look all about?" He tilts his head, curiously raising an eyebrow.

She's almost glaring at Kaitlyn before she catches herself under his gaze. "Uh, nothing! Just... one of those looks, I guess." She stands and turns to look out over the starlit campus. A slight shiver moves through her from the crisp night air.

He quietly walks over and joins her at the railing, propping himself on his elbows as well. "So... not tired?" Chris turns his head slightly as he studies her face.

She sighs. "Not yet. And I want to savor this, you know? Our first night together as a suite." She smiles, already replaying the highlights of the last 24 hours.

He looks back out across the dark campus. "It all starts here. You nervous?"

She thinks about his question for a minute before you answer honestly, with a big puff of air. "A little. You?"

He doesn't look at her, but she sees his smile grow and he lightly laughs. "Oh, I'm terrified. But it's a good kind of terrified." He lowers his voice somewhat as he continues, "And so long as you're around... I'd say there's a lot to look forward to." He turns his head towards her, halfway hiding his face behind his shoulder as he leans on the railing.

She can't see what type of expression he has across his lips, but she can see his eyes, and they speak volumes. He's being sincere, and he's happy. His blue eyes almost appear to be dancing in the low light.

As she is also leaning on the railing, she almost mirrors his movement, hiding her face as much as possible behind her own shoulder, as she feels it gradually turning warm. "Chris..." She whispers, "I feel exactly the same way."

She’s surprised at his confession, and even more so at her own, as they both had been so aloof about this subject just moments before. Neither time was a lie though, because they both understood each other's position, though clearly had felt something new on top of it all.

He straightens up and closes the already small gap between them both. She does the same, running her hand across the railing slowly, trying to focus her breathing. Being this close to him was causing a reaction within her body.

He speaks calmly. "I know we just met, but..." He pauses, running his hand through his messy hair, "...I feel a connection with you. And maybe it's not cool to say that, I just..." He almost sighs with frustration, "...I just had to get it off my chest." His other hand finds hers on the railing and draws light circles on the back of her wrist, mesmerized by his own actions.

MC’s hand feels like it's on fire wherever he touches it. His fingers are so warm against her cool skin. "I'm glad you did." She almost whispers, also watching his fingers move.

He softly smiles and turns his piercing blue eyes up to meet her hazel ones, searching. "Really?"

"Really." She blushes and he quickly notices, halting his hand and completely lowering it, covering her hand with his. The heat she remembered him giving off before begins to soak through her hand, up her arm, touching her neck and chest.

His free hand is back running through his hair, pausing to rub the back of his neck anxiously. He sighs, "Listen... I know I must be throwing out mixed signals." His smile is gone again and his face now holds a small frown instead.

She hates that his happiness is suddenly gone as it fits him so well, unlike this look of frustration and anguish he now has. Her heart aches for him, unsure of what she's sensing.

"The truth is, I'm really not looking to start anything serious. But... here, in this moment with you." He squeezes her hand, the one he had been attending to. "Things just feel... right."

She didn't think there was really any space between them both still, but Chris proved otherwise. Moving even closer, he takes her hand in his, cautiously at first. He looks at her again and when she doesn't pull away, he interlaces his fingers with hers, smiling down at her hopefully.

MC smiles back in response, hoping to give him some reassurance if possible. He takes a deep breath, gathering courage before he quietly says, "I really want to kiss you MC. I think... I think I've actually wanted to ever since you laid me out flat in the quad earlier." Its extremely quiet until she suddenly laughs, unable to stop herself at the comment and related imagery. After a brief second of shock at her sudden reaction, he joins her with his own deep chuckle.

As their laughter dies down, he studies her face. His eyes leave hers, traveling across her nose and cheekbones before they land on her lips. She doesn't say a word but her breath quickens considerably. His free hand reaches up and gently tucks a lock of her golden hair behind her ear before cupping her face, creating more heat at the contact point.

She pulls at her bottom lip, lightly biting at it, causing him to immediately halt her action with his thumb. Startled, she lets out a small gasp and her mouth opens the tiniest amount, but he sees it. His eyes jump up to hers before instantly he leans in, softly pressing his lips to hers.

All at once she feels the electricity surge from his firm, velvety lips, through to her toes. Her eyes fall shut and she see stars in the darkness behind their lids, matching the night sky. Her mind is reeling as she struggles to focus, realizing that the few kissing experiences she had in high school felt absolutely nothing like this. This was a feeling she would have trouble describing. His thumb rubs her cheek as he pulls his lips back, resting his forehead against hers.

Both are slightly gasping for breath from the solitary kiss. "Wow." She whispers, trying to calm her heart as it threatens to beat out of her chest. She wonders if he felt it too, opening her eyes and looking up.

That's when she realizes his eyes are already open, now a much darker blue than before, and he was staring at her. His face is still extremely close to hers and all of the anxiety is gone from his body. He suddenly seems so sure, so confident in this moments.

"Yeah..." He breathlessly agrees before moving his hand quickly from her cheek to the back of her head, running his fingers through her hair. Pulling her face toward his, Chris' lips crush into hers again, this time laced with raw desire.

She matches his eagerness, opening her mouth as he asks, his tongue gentle but somewhat forceful as he enters. She lets out a small moan and her body melts into his chest. This causes an echo within him, his other hand wrapping around her waist and pulling her firmly against him.

She feels his hot muscles flex against her as she runs her hands up his chest and around his neck, threading them into the base of his hair. He groans and breaks contact briefly to pant for only a moment, before adjusting his assault on her flushed lips. A few more seconds pass, feeling like eternity to them both, as they break the tight seal between them.

They both stand there, eyes barely open, foreheads together, trying to catch their breath. Both of his arms now wrapped around her waist as her hands are lightly rubbing his biceps in a soothing way.

As the intensity subsides, he moves one arm up her back, around her shoulders. Smiling he pulls the other up to join the first, wrapping his arms around her. She leans into him, absorbing his natural warmth in the embrace, no longer cold inside or out.

"You know, this does feel... right." She tilts her face up to meet his once more. He doesn't hesitate at all, their lips melting together again as he pulls her closer. As they separate from the encore, Chris stifles a laugh, his blue eyes crinkling at the corners.

She tries to act put-off by his actions but fails miserably as she smiles back with a slight sneer. "What the hell are you laughing at?" She pokes one finger into his firm chest muscle, which he flexes in response.

"I'm... laughing, I just... I don't know. I'm happy, I guess." His eyes still a dark blue, though not as deep as when he rushed her lips moments before, and not their normal lighter shade either. She liked that they appeared to change slightly with his mood.

"Me too. That was nice." She shyly smiles and looks down, her finger tracing figure-eights on Chris's forearm. He watches her quietly for a moment before she speaks again, almost too faint. "Well... I guess it's time we got some sleep. Tomorrow will be here quickly."

He smiles, almost bashfully. "Yeah... it's getting pretty late." He pulls away from her, causing a part of her to feel empty. He doesn't get far tho, as he grabs her hand and leads her towards the stairs, turning lights off and blowing out candles along the way. He makes sure she safely navigates the stairs as both of their eyes adjust to the limited moonlight as they descend into darkness.

Once inside he locks the door and walks her towards her room. It's then MC realizes that his is the door across from hers. He rubs his thumb across the back of her hand, looking into her eyes. "Maybe we can talk more later? Or, you know..." He trails off, seeming slightly conflicted, similar to earlier on the roof.

MC gives him a warm reserved smile. "I'd like that. Goodnight, Chris."

He squeezes her hand before he lets go, turning towards his room. "Night MC."

She makes it inside her doorway and quietly shuts the door, hoping she doesn't wake any of the other roommates. It’s then that she notices the time - the two of them were up there way longer than she thought. As she changes into her sleep tank, she replays the last 30 minutes or so over in her head.

Her face and body feel hot as she touches her lips, imagining his there again instead. As she lays down, she remembers the way his body felt crushed against her own. The heat his firm toned muscles creates feels almost like a drug to her, causing her body to involuntarily react at the thought of it. She reaches down and notices her bodily response from his attention on the roof. Just thinking about him now made it worse.

She groans and turns over, smashing her face into her pillow, trying to tell herself that it was just a kiss "...with your roommate..." she mumbles into the pillow. While it was exciting and obviously intense, she is unsure what to expect from it all. He told her he didn't want anything serious, but it sure didn't feel that way when they were alone on the roof. MC tosses and turns as she tries to shut down her thoughts, eventually becoming successful, falling asleep.

MC wakes up to the sound of her phone ringing. "Ugh... what time is it?" She gropes around her sheets for the offending noise and find it besides her pillow. She blinks and rub her eyes, trying to focus. "Four missed calls? From my parents? What the..."

She quickly throws on some pj pants and walks down the hall, noticing that all her roommates doors are still closed. To keep it quiet she steps out into the chill morning air to make the call. "Mom? What's going on? Why did you guys call me four times?" She rubs her temple to remove some of the grogginess.

Her mother’s voice unsteadily responds. "MC, there's something I have to tell you..." She sighs heavily.

MC suddenly feels sick, all kinds of possibilities running through her mind "Did something happen? What's wrong?" She quickly presses her mother for more information.

"It's your father. He... he lost his job. We can't pay your tuition." Her words become hushed as she ends the last sentence, MC’s world falling with them.

"But... I haven't even started classes yet!" She protests, hearing her sigh again on the other end with guilt. MC shakes her head and takes a deep breath. "Mom... don't worry. I'll... I'll figure something out." She closes her eyes tightly, pinching the bridge of her nose, as her mind begins racing.

"We're so, so sorry about this MC. We're going to make this right, okay? Your father just needs some time to find a new job.” Her mother pauses. “We love you!" She pleads with her, obviously concerned about the next step.

"Yeah... I love you too." MC hangs up the phone and turns to face the suite door, thinking of her new friends and the classes that were about to start. "This can't be happening... what am I going to do?"
