“…Should I come across murky waters on my travels, I shall continue forward unburdened by that which may hold me back.”

Halloween Night was two days ago, but I still could feel the vibe until tonight.

So, let me tell you which character am I this Halloween.

This Halloween, I became Iliass Taxi Driss Ojja; a Moroccan-Dutch boxer who is based on My bro Iliass and his roles of Younes "Taxi" Al Saddiqi (from "Mocro Maffia" (2018 - 2024)) and Driss Bentarek (from "Shouf Shouf Habibi" (2004) & "Shouf Shouf: De Serie" (2006 - 2009)).

🎃

*Note:

His outfit is a combination of modern style and Moroccan traditional outfits (the infamous attire that has a hoodie and full of stripes, and in the middle of the shirt, we can see the well-known Moroccan pattern).

dude (blurb) | jake peralta

summary: "dude" but romantically.

warnings: none.

pairing: fem!reader x jake peralta (friends to lovers)

word count: 0.8k+ words

"okay, but i'm serious! you have to try it, it's literally amazing."

"i was gonna take your word for it, but i remembered it's you... so, no."

"dude," he whined, a soft smile adorning his lips.

"dude," you say back, same tone.

"fine, fine, what if i make you one? that's, like, no work required. y'know minus chewing."

"jacob jeffrey peralta, i am not, not even on my deathbed, trying pickles with ice cream. that's just a new level of gross."

"but charles approved it!"

"why on earth would that affect whether or not i try it?"

"y'know, i have no clue. i'm getting desperate."

"i can see that."

"dudeeee," he kicks his feet on the floor as he's sitting next to you on the couch. die hard is playing on the tv in his apartment, but the two of you have seen it so many times, you practically have it memorized by heart.

and why would you ever watch die hard when jake's sitting right there?

between you and yourself, you know which you'd rather watch. okay, "watch" sounded creepy.

you're laying on his lap as he's looking down at you, pouting.

you roll your eyes, but it's all fun. "dudeeee."

truth be told, you're sure you can handle the odd food combo, but teasing him and drawing this out is so much more fun. god, you really are in love with him.

"pretty, pretty, please? with- with, like, seven cherries on top?"

"just seven?" you pretend to be offended.

"i'm a brokie, the best i can do is eight." jake runs a hand through your hair, it's so comforting.

you sigh, "all right."

"to the cherries or the pream?"

"the- the what now?"

"pickles. ice cream. pickles and ice cream. pream? yeah, you know what, that's... that's not it. doesn't roll of the tongue great."

"oh, yeah. that, and it sounds like an std."

"good point. i'm gonna assume you meant the... cream... pi... creampi-"

"i'm gonna stop you right there."

he nods quickly. "right. what about cream-"

"not if it starts with 'cream', dude."

"icickles?"

"n-"

"piccream!"

"if i try your 'dish'," you air quote, "will you stop trying to come up with names."

"maybe."

you give him a look, and he amends, "yes. maybe. i pledge to do my best." jake salutes you, then pokes your check. you scowl, swatting him away and sitting up.

"lead me to your kitchen."

"sure. it's five steps that-a-way," he says, pointing to the kitchen that is quite exactly five steps away. like a true gentleman, jake scoops you - through which you protest ("dude!") - and then (after six steps, actually [wow, his apartment is slightly bigger than hypothesized]) sets you on the counter.

"i feel like you should know that i'm perfectly capable of walking on my own."

"but why would you when i'm here?"

"dude."

"dude," he replies, grabbing the ice cream from the freezer.

"how are you even supposed to eat this? like... spread it? o-or dip?"

jake grabs a spoon and scoops some ice cream onto it. "watch, young jedi."

"i don't-"

"shh, i'm yoda-ing." he spreads it on the pickle and shoves it in your face. slowly, you sniff it. it doesn't smell... like anything bad, really.

it doesn't look great though. "is it too late to go back?"

"yes." after a second, he groans, "gah, i'll go first." he takes a bite, and you make a face.

"mmm... you shouf knodis is-"

"jake, swallow."

he grins and you furrow your brows. "what- oh. oh! jake!" your cheeks heat up so quickly, for a number of reason. because, yeah, obviously the second one sounds better.

also, of course that's what he instantly goes to.

"oh, my god. are you twelve or thirty-three? because i honestly can't tell."

"dude, i'm well-versed. you wouldn't understand."

"i'm... twenty-five. wo-wouldn't i-?"

"schematics."

"yeah, okay, bud."

"dude," he corrects.

"right," you murmur, "dude."

you don't really realize how he's leaning in, the way if you do too, your lips would touch. you falter, and you can feel warm breath minglingwith yours.

jake cups your cheek and you lean into it. you aren't sure what's about to happen, though it should be obvious. but with jake, you're nervous, afraid that this isn't really happening.

you have no clue what he's done with the pickle, and you have no clue why that's what's on your mind right now.

he squeezes your waist gently, a way of asking for permission. you nod, and at first, it's just a brush. just a brush of his lips against yours, feeling for some type of sense that this is happening. that it's reality.

you press back against him, your hand on top of his, the one on your face. your other hand blindly feels for his hair, tugging against his soft, brown curls.

when you pull away, you're breathing hard. not because of the kiss, because it wasn't aggressive or any longer than twenty seconds, but because of the adrenaline of it all.

"dude," he breathes, and you giggle.

"y'taste like pickles. and ice cream. it's actually not that bad," you admit. "at least not on you."

"dude," jake repeats, dumb-founded at what just happened.

you peck him again, right on the lips, "dude."

For ur event may I request Christmas tree decorating + nazuna?

Christmas Tree Decorating!

w/ Nazuna Nito x GN! Reader

christmas tree decorating is actually so fun and therapeutic you should try it when you get the chance

Warnings: Reader falls on Nazuna while decorating, but no graphic descriptions of injuries!

It was one pleasant winter day when Keito gathered some people he knew that resided in Seisoukan dorm, claiming that he was going to give an important announcement and that it was imperative that everyone attend posthaste.

Nazuna, ever the dutiful nii-chan, was one of the first people to arrive. He started to scan the other people that were already there or just arriving, noting how it seemed to be comprised of some unit leaders and other responsible looking people.

Before he knew it, Keito deemed that enough people have gathered and cleared his throat to get everyone's attention. "Thank you for coming on such short notice. You all have been assigned to help make our dorm look more festive for the upcoming holidays. I've already assigned you all to your respective roles. That is all." Keito made a slight bow before pointing at a piece of paper situated on the wall, a list of names together with their respective jobs.

People naturally rushed over to it, and it was at moment like these that Nazuna curses his short stature, the taller idols making it hard for him to make out what his role was. He sighed, resorting to just waiting for the crowd to thin out instead of wasting energy hopping just for a slight glimpse.

"Ah, Nito-senpai. It seems we'll be working on the Christmas Tree together! Please take care of me!" Nazuna tilted his head upwards, his eyes meeting a certain (Y/N). Nazuna knew who you were, working on a few projects with you every now and then as fellow RhythLin idols. Though to him you were a bit more special than just a co-worker.

Indeed, in those few interactions, Nazuna had developed a very silly crush on you. The first time he laid his eyes on you, he was absolutely lovestruck. You looked cute, cool, pretty, and beautiful, and every other positive adjective he could think of at the same time! But you weren't just a pretty face either, Nazuna found it amazing how well you did your job and even found some parts about you that he would want to take after.

"Uwawawah?! (L/N)-san?!" Nazuna's mouth moved just a tad bit faster than his brain, the both of you wearing surprised expressions at his sudden outburst. "W-whaddya mean take care a' ya'? Ya shouf be takin care a' me!" Stupid, stupid! Stop talkin! Nazuna scolds himself, sweat starting to form at his forehead at how awkwardly he was handling this.

"Oh my, I've heard about your stuttering before, but it's quite cute seeing it in person!" If you thought Nazuna's eyes were a nice shade of red, then you'd have to say the same about the blush that suddenly colored his face at your offhand remark. "It seems they've already set up the tree, so that's less work for us, at least!" You pointed at the sizable tree residing just outside the dorm entrance.

You head out first, with Nazuna trailing behind you, observing the tree that was actually way bigger looking when you look at it up close. Nazuna psyches himself up, knowing that this should be the time where he shows his cool, reliable side. "Ah. Hm... I know a shop nearby where I can get some decorations. Could you go prepare the other things like ladders and such?"

Alright! Good job, me! Nazuna pats himself on the back for that one, it was almost like he didn't act like a completely different person just seconds before. "Sure thing! Oh, I've always wanted to ask this, but can I call you Nii-chan too?" You clapped your hands together in a sort of pleading motion, your eyes sparkling with expectance.

"Of course! But only if I can call you (Y/N)-chin!" Smooth. Nazuna thinks to himself.

You suddenly pump your fist in the air, Nazuna feeling inclined to do so as well. "Alright! Let's split up for now then, Nii-chan!" You shot him a smile before heading towards the nearby storage room. Nazuna didn't want to disappoint you, so he quickly found his bike and made his way to the fancy shop that Arashi and him frequented.

It didn't take long for him to find decorations, seeing as the store was also in the Christmas spirit, putting all sorts of ornaments and lights front and center. Nazuna starts grabbing a whole plethora of decorations, not wanting to keep you waiting. He was just about ready to head out when his eyes landed on a cute heart-shaped ornament that you could write in.

Nazuna chuckles to himself imagining putting your name and his in it, and against better judgement, throws it in along with everything else he was buying. At worst it would just be a cute heart ornament, but if he plays his cards right it really could be a one-of-a-kind decoration.

He rushes back to the dorm after paying, finding you setting up a ladder and some safety ropes. "Oh, Nii-chan! You're back!" You waved to him as he parked his bike nearby, dragging out the large number of decorations he bought.

'"Let's start with the lights. It'd be a pain in the butt if we did it last, after all." Nazuna surmised, pulling out a string of multicolored lights. You held your hands out towards him, as if to signal that you can put up the lights, but he shakes his head. "It'll be better for you to hold the ladder. You could also probably do a better job at catching me if I fell!"

You nodded to his suggestion, letting him get on the first few steps of the ladder before situating yourself at the very bottom, holding it at its base so that it wouldn't shake much. Nazuna quickly wraps the lights all over the tree, and you can't help but stare at him in awe. You imagined just how much more clumsily you'd be doing it, cringing at the thought of embarrassing yourself like that.

Nazuna was done in a flash, going back down to grab some ribbons and streamers to wrap around the tree along with the lights. Nazuna spent a lot of time designing the stages of Ra*bits in their earlier days, so he was already more than used to doing this kind of manual labor. Still though, it didn't really feel that great to just leave it up to him.

"Nii-chan. Can I be the one to put those up? Nazuna contemplates on this for a bit. He doesn't want to risk you getting hurt, because he's really not that confident of what he can do if you fall, but at the same time he can understand that you probably want to decorate the tree as much as he wanted to impress you.

He hands the ribbon he was holding to you, a smile on his face as a silent way to encourage you to go for it. He was a bit worried when you went up the ladder and he had to hold it down, but he knew that this was when he needed to show his grit more than ever. When he looked up at you, he saw you messily wrapping the tree in the ribbon you were holding, your face clearly showing how much you were struggling.

Nazuna thought that was really cool of you, it seemed like you weren't really experienced with this kind of thing, but you still wanted to go out of your way and try it. Seeing you like this reminds him of the other kids in Ra*bits, and how often he wants to baby them but still acknowledge their desire for independent growth. He really respects people like that, the kind who aren't afraid of stumbling and falling down because they'll just get up and try again.

He's brought back to the real world when he hears the rattling of the ladder before seeing your back growing larger and larger. The next thing he knew, the two of you had crashed down to the floor, the ladder thankfully falling a ways from the both of you. Nazuna quickly assesses the situation at hand, trying to stand back up before realizing you were laid out flat on top of him.

"(Y/N)-chin! Are ya' 'kay?!" He asks, seemingly bringing you out of the stupor caused by the fall. Your dazed expression worries him for a bit, but he can at least see that you weren't actually hurt at all, a sigh of relief making its way out of his mouth. When you realized what just happened, you quickly leapt off of Nazuna, lending him a helping hand to stand back up again.

He takes it gratefully, dusting off his clothes with his other hand as he does. "I'm so sorry, Nii-chan!" Your eyes looked a bit watery, and your hands shaking a bit after you balled them up into fists.

"Ah, Why are ya' cryin?! Ya' hurt somewhere?!" He quickly shifts around, looking for any external injuries that he could have missed his first look around. He then brings a finger up to your eyes, wiping away the tears that threatened to fall.

That action just caused you to bawl even more, making Nazuna panic, wondering what it was he did wrong. You really messed up big time, not only did you literally fall on top of someone you really admired, but he also seemed to care more about how you were doing than himself! You could see that the fall you had was really bad and that Nazuna still had to take the brunt of the damage, but he still chose to comfort you before even considering his own injuries.

You decided to suck your tears up, wiping your eyes with the back of your arm. You weren't as strong and admirable as Nazuna, but you can put up with this much pain. "I'm fine, thank you. What about you, Nii-chan?" After hearing that, Nazuna finally takes a look at his own body, wincing a bit when he touches a few parts.

"This is nothin! Don't you worry about me now, okay?" Nazuna starts caressing your head, a big toothy grin on his face as if to reassure you that it really was nothing. "Still though, we should probably just ask some of the bigger guys to take care of the rest, huh?"

You agreed with his suggestion, the two of you heading back inside the dorm. Nazuna grabs one of the nearby first-aid kits and sits down on a couch, signaling for you to sit beside him. He was about to start patting down your minor injuries with alcohol when you grabbed his wrist. "I'm fine, really. Let me do this for you instead, Nii-chan." If there was anything Nazuna learned, it was that sometimes the strongest thing a person can do is ask for help.

Thankfully, it was just a few scrapes and bruises at worst, and just cleaning the wounds with alcohol was enough. Nazuna would probably feel a bit worse for wear if you had to bandage anything. Nazuna starts messing around on his phone as you cleaned his wounds.

When you finally finished, he flashes you another confident smile. "Thanks for that (Y/N)-chin! I feel like I'm already better because of your care!" You can feel your face heat up at the compliment, choosing to just give him a soft smile of your own in response. "By the way, I already messaged some guys to finish up what we started. So we can just sit tight and take it easy for a bit."

And that's exactly what you two did, watching as the people that Nazuna called over finish decorating the tree. Before long, it was already night, and the tree was lit up in all its beautiful multicolored glory. You were a bit frustrated, not only because you couldn't do the job you were assigned, but because you had to inconvenience Nazuna Nito of all people.

You just wanted to show him the best side of yourself, but you ended up causing him more trouble. Nazuna on the other hand, feels like he should have done a better job as the more experienced and older one, knowing that you might not have fallen if he had just not begun daydreaming. The frustration was more obvious on your face though, there was a message you really wanted to tell him, but it's not like you could just outright tell him.

As if he sensed that, Nazuna brought out a certain heart shaped ornament out of his pocket, placing it in your hands. "Here, why don't you put up the last ornament? Even just somewhere near the bottom so it won't be a hassle. You can write something on it too, if you want." He hands you a pen and finds it cute how you turn away from him to hide what you were writing. When you finished writing, you tugged at his arm, telling him to come with you outside.

The two of you found yourselves at the tree again, with you clutching at the ornament in a way that prevented Nazuna from seeing what you wrote on it. Truthfully, his curiosity was piqued, wondering what it was that you were going to such lengths to hide yet still want to show him in the end.

"I'm really sorry for everything Nii-chan. You must think I'm pretty lame, huh?" You let out a fake laugh, your lips forming a line when you only received silence. Nazuna didn't think you were lame at all, in fact he thinks that he was the lame one today, seeing as his junior had to go and clean his wounds.

You hang up the decoration on a low hanging branch, and Nazuna can finally see what you wrote on it.

I love you Nii-chan! You're the coolest! It read; a small doodle of a winking rabbit surrounded by hearts taking up the space that was left.

Nazuna wrapped you in a hug, resting his head on the crook of your neck. He could feel both your and his face reaching crazy high temperatures, but neither of you wanted to pull away. He could only smile when he felt your hand wrap around his head, pulling him in closer.

"Geez, (Y/N)-chin. You're the cool one."

thats number two done! i genuinely had no idea how to translate nazuna's stutters into english and only after writing did i realize i just made him sound like a yankee *dies*

The cast of CAST (World Tour, 2002) warms up and performs open-air at the Beiteddine Palace in Lebanon.

This is the first (and so far, only) time CATS has been performed in the Middle-East.  It ran for six days and opened a summer festival featuring many other performers.  

See below for bonus trivia!

To commemorate its debut in the Middle-East, the junkyard set was personalized with a license plate in Arabic: ٦٢٥١٨ (62518).  See if you can spot the numbers through the absolutely tanked gif quality!
