Savoring the Sweetness: Stewberry Kisses

Kei Tsukishima, known for his salty and indifferent attitude, found himself strangely drawn to one person after a single accidental kiss. That person happened to be Shoyo Miya, the younger brother of the Miya twins, Atsumu and Osamu.

The kiss itself was a complete accident, brought about by Kei forgetting his water bottle and Shoyo generously offering his own. As Kei took a sip from the bottle, the taste of strawberries, his favorite, captivated him. He found himself wanting to know more, wanting to understand why he felt this way towards Shoyo, even though they hardly spoke and often clashed.

Coincidentally, their volleyball captain, Daichi Sawamura, decided to pair them up for a special training session. He believed that by forcing them to work together, they could find common ground and also discover their individual strengths and weaknesses on the court.

As Kei and Shoyo began training together, their interactions went beyond just volleyball. They started to understand each other's quirks, fears, and dreams. Kei's cold exterior slowly thawed, and he discovered a warmth within himself that he didn't know existed.

Meanwhile, Shoyo, who always wore his heart on his sleeve, found solace in Kei's presence. Kei's indifference masked a hidden depth that intrigued Shoyo, and he felt a strong desire to break through Kei's walls.

Through their volleyball training and personal interactions, Kei and Shoyo formed a unique bond. They discovered that their differences complemented each other, both on and off the court. As their connection grew, Kei realized that the accidental kiss was just the beginning of something deeper and more meaningful.

Together, they embarked on a journey of self-discovery, friendship, and perhaps even love. And as they faced the challenges of volleyball and life, they learned that sometimes, the most unexpected connections can lead to the most beautiful stories.

Kei couldn't help but wonder why the taste of strawberries had such a strong effect on him and why it seemed to attract him to Shoyo. As he looked at Shoyo now, he couldn't deny that he found him pretty cute and alluring, something about him enticed and intrigued Kei. He wanted to know more, to experience that taste of strawberries again and explore this newfound attraction.

The taste of strawberries became symbolic for Kei, representing not only his favorite flavor but also a connection to Shoyo. It represented the spark that ignited his curiosity and desire to understand what was happening between them. Kei wanted to unravel the mystery, to delve deeper into their connection, and to explore the potential that lay ahead.

This desire for more, both in terms of the taste of strawberries and his attraction to Shoyo, drove Kei to seek opportunities to spend time with him, to engage in conversations, and to learn more about the person behind the captivating allure.

With each interaction, Kei discovered new facets of Shoyo's personality that fascinated him. He found himself drawn to Shoyo's passion for volleyball, his determination to improve, and his unwavering optimism. It was as if Shoyo's presence brought out a different side of Kei, a side that craved not only strawberries but also a deeper connection with someone special.

As Kei and Shoyo continued to navigate their volleyball training and their growing bond, the taste of strawberries remained a reminder of the initial spark that brought them together. It served as a symbol of their shared journey towards understanding themselves, each other, and the potential for something more.

In the end, Kei's quest for the taste of strawberries was not just about a fruit or a flavor; it was about discovering a connection that transcended words and logic. It was about embracing the unexpected and allowing oneself to be open to the possibilities that life presents. And perhaps, in this pursuit, Kei would not only find the answers he sought but also a love that was as sweet and irresistible as the taste of strawberries.

Kei smiled at Shoyo's surprised expression and nodded.

Kei: Yes, really. I've been curious about you, Shoyo. I couldn't help but notice how attracted I am to you, and the taste of stewberries on your water bottle only added to my intrigue. It's funny how something as simple as a flavor can spark such curiosity.

Shoyo: I never expected that my lip oil would have such an effect on you. But I'm glad you like the taste of stewberries too! And... I'm also interested in getting to know you more, Kei.

Kei: That's great to hear, Shoyo. I think there's something special between us, something worth exploring. I want to understand why I misjudged you before and why I feel this strong connection now. I want to learn about your dreams, your passions, and what makes you, well, you.

Shoyo: I'd love to share all of that with you, Kei. I want you to see the real me, beyond the misunderstandings and preconceptions. Let's take this journey together and discover what lies ahead for us.

Kei: Sounds like a plan, Shoyo. Let's keep practicing volleyball together and also make time to explore who we are as individuals and as a potential couple. I believe there's something special waiting for us, and it all starts with a taste of stewberries and a desire to know more.

Shoyo smiled brightly, his eyes shining with excitement and anticipation. They both knew that this was just the beginning of their journey, and they were ready to embrace the unknown and create something beautiful together.

Kei chuckled, understanding where Shoyo was coming from.

Kei: Well, Shoyo, you may not be the strongest receiver right now, but you have incredible potential. Your speed, agility, and determination make up for any weaknesses. And besides, volleyball is a team sport. We all have our strengths and weaknesses, and that's why we have each other.

Shoyo: I know, but sometimes it's hard not to get discouraged. I want to be a well-rounded player and contribute to the team in every aspect of the game.

Kei: I understand that feeling. But remember, improvement takes time and effort. We're here to support each other and help each other grow. And if meeting Tenma can give you some guidance and inspiration, then I'll do my best to arrange it.

Shoyo's eyes lit up with excitement.

Shoyo: Really? That would be amazing! I can't thank you enough, Kei.

Kei: No need to thank me. We're teammates, and it's my pleasure to help you in any way I can. Let's continue working hard together, Shoyo. With dedication and perseverance, I know you'll become an even more formidable player.

Shoyo nodded, his determination renewed. He knew that with Kei's support and the guidance of someone like Tenma, he had the potential to overcome his weaknesses and become the player he aspired to be. Their bond as teammates and friends grew stronger as they embarked on their journey of self-improvement and achieving their dreams.

Kei smirked mischievously.

Kei: Well, Shoyo, I've been noticing how dry your lips have been lately. I thought maybe that lip oil of yours could help.

Shoyo's eyes widened in surprise and then narrowed playfully.

Shoyo: Oh, so you've been paying attention to my lips, huh? I didn't know you cared so much, Kei.

Kei rolled his eyes, trying to hide his amusement.

Kei: Don't get any funny ideas, Shoyo. It's just that as your teammate, I want you to be at your best on and off the court. Dry lips can be distracting, you know. So, do you mind if I borrow your lip oil for a moment?

Shoyo handed over the lip oil, still looking amused.

Shoyo: Sure, go ahead. But only if you promise to return it.

Kei applied a small amount of the lip oil and rubbed it onto his lips.

Kei: There, now my lips are as smooth as yours. Thanks for letting me borrow it, Shoyo.

Shoyo chuckled.

Shoyo: You're welcome, Kei. Just remember, no stealing my lip oil again. And don't think I didn't notice your dry lips too.

Kei smirked, knowing Shoyo was teasing him.

Kei: Fair enough. I guess we'll just have to take care of our lips together, then.

As they exchanged playful banter, their bond as teammates and friends grew stronger, with both Kei and Shoyo realizing that even in the smallest moments, they could rely on each other for support and laughter.

Kei raised an eyebrow, a hint of surprise in his eyes.

Kei: Oh really, Shoyo? Are you saying that if I impress you, we might actually go on a date?

Shoyo nodded, a mischievous glint in his eyes.

Shoyo: That's right, Kei. Impress me with something extraordinary, and we'll see where it takes us.

Kei's competitive nature kicked in, and he grinned confidently.

Kei: Challenge accepted, Shoyo. Prepare to be impressed.

And so, Kei began to brainstorm creative and exciting ideas to impress Shoyo, determined to not only win his heart but also create a memorable experience for both of them. Little did they know that this playful banter would mark the beginning of a beautiful journey filled with laughter, growth, and love.

Kei chuckled, his competitive spirit undeterred by Shoyo's high expectations.

Kei: Bouji and expensive, huh? Well, Shoyo, I'm up for the challenge. I'll pull out all the stops to impress you. But remember, it's not just about material things. It's about creating meaningful experiences together.

Shoyo raised an eyebrow, intrigued by Kei's response.

Shoyo: Oh? You think you can impress me without relying solely on material possessions?

Kei nodded confidently, a spark of determination in his eyes.

Kei: Absolutely, Shoyo. While I'm more than willing to go the extra mile and treat you to something special, I believe that true connection and impressing someone go beyond just lavish gestures. It's about understanding each other, making memories, and showing genuine care and affection.

Shoyo's lips curled into a playful smile.

Shoyo: Well, Kei, you've piqued my curiosity. Show me what you've got. Impress me with your creativity, thoughtfulness, and the genuine effort you put into getting to know me. Let's see if you can truly win me over.

And so, the challenge was set. Kei embarked on a journey to impress Shoyo, not just with extravagant gestures, but with his authentic self and his dedication to building a genuine connection. As they embarked on this adventure together, they discovered that love and impressing someone can be found in the simplest of moments, making their bond all the more special.

Kei understood Shoyo's perspective and the influence that his family background might have on his perception of impressing others. However, he was determined to show Shoyo that there was more to impressing someone than just material possessions.

Kei: Shoyo, I understand that your family background may have accustomed you to a certain lifestyle, but I believe that true connections and genuine impressions are not solely based on material wealth. They are built on understanding, trust, and shared experiences.

With a mischievous grin, Kei continued.

Kei: So, here's my plan to surprise and impress you. Instead of lavish gifts, let's embark on a series of unique adventures and experiences. We can explore hidden gems in the city, try out new activities together, or even create something meaningful together.

Shoyo's curiosity grew as Kei shared his ideas.

Shoyo: Hidden gems and unique experiences? That sounds intriguing. I'm open to trying new things and stepping out of my comfort zone. Show me a side of life that I haven't experienced before, Kei. Surprise me with your creativity and let's make memories that money can't buy.

And so, Kei and Shoyo embarked on a journey filled with unconventional surprises, discovering the joy and depth that can be found in the simple and meaningful moments they shared. As their bond grew stronger, Shoyo realized that true impressiveness lies not in material possessions, but in the genuine connection and love they had for each other.

Kei chuckled at Shoyo's playful response and was delighted to have found a nickname that resonated with him.

Kei: Moonlight, huh? I like that. It suits you well, Shoyo. Consider it your nickname from now on. As for the game, get ready because I've got something exciting in store for you.

Kei's eyes twinkled with anticipation as he revealed his surprise.

Kei: I've arranged a scavenger hunt for us, Moonlight. It'll take us on a thrilling adventure across the city, solving clues and discovering hidden treasures. Each clue will lead us closer to a special surprise at the end.

Shoyo's eyes widened with excitement, eager to embark on this adventure with Kei.

Shoyo: A scavenger hunt? That sounds amazing! I love puzzles and mysteries. Count me in, Kei. I can't wait to see what you have planned for us.

And so, Kei and Shoyo began their exhilarating scavenger hunt, following clues, exploring new places, and deepening their connection along the way. As they laughed, solved puzzles, and discovered hidden gems together, Kei knew that this adventure would be a memorable experience for both of them.

Kei chuckled at Shoyo's playful response and was delighted to have found a nickname that resonated with him.

Kei: Moonlight, huh? I like that. It suits you well, Shoyo. Consider it your nickname from now on. As for the game, get ready because I've got something exciting in store for you.

Kei's eyes twinkled with anticipation as he revealed his surprise.

Kei: I've arranged a scavenger hunt for us, Moonlight. It'll take us on a thrilling adventure across the city, solving clues and discovering hidden treasures. Each clue will lead us closer to a special surprise at the end.

Shoyo's eyes widened with excitement, eager to embark on this adventure with Kei.

Shoyo: A scavenger hunt? That sounds amazing! I love puzzles and mysteries. Count me in, Kei. I can't wait to see what you have planned for us.

And so, Kei and Shoyo began their exhilarating scavenger hunt, following clues, exploring new places, and deepening their connection along the way. As they laughed, solved puzzles, and discovered hidden gems together, Kei knew that this adventure would be a memorable experience for both of them.

The Karasuno team couldn't help but be entertained by Kei and Shoyo's playful banter and flirtatious exchanges. It was a sight that both confused and intrigued them, as they had never seen their teammates act this way before.

Kei, with a mischievous grin, asked Shoyo for some water, but instead of simply requesting it, he chose to use a playful metaphor.

Kei: Sunshine, can I have some water, please?

Shoyo, catching on to Kei's game, chuckled and responded with a teasing remark.

Shoyo: Sure, Moonlight. You forgot your bottle again?

Kei, not one to back down, responded with a witty remark, leaving Shoyo flustered.

Kei: Nope, just like the taste of Stewberries on my lips.

Shoyo, unable to resist the opportunity, playfully suggested what Kei truly wanted.

Shoyo: Just say you want a kiss, Moonlight.

The rest of the team watched the exchange, feeling a mix of confusion and amusement. Suga, trying to make sense of it all, voiced his confusion.

Suga: What the hell is going on with those two?

Daichi, scratching his head, responded with a shrug.

Daichi: Beats me. But at least they're not fighting anymore.

Noya, always observant, chimed in with his own observation.

Noya: No, it's the flirting in front of us that's new.

Tanaka, nodding in agreement, couldn't help but add his own input.

Tanaka: I agree with my bro. They're definitely taking their relationship to a whole new level.

As the team continued to watch Kei and Shoyo's playful interactions, they couldn't help but feel a mix of confusion, amusement, and perhaps a tinge of envy at the blossoming romance between their two teammates.

Shoyo, still eager to know when the surprise scavenger hunt would begin, reminded Kei that he hadn't provided a specific start time. Yams, surprised by Shoyo's use of Kei's first name, couldn't help but comment on it.

Shoyo: So, Kei, when do I start this surprise scavenger hunt? You never really mentioned a time; you just said you were organizing it, and that's where our last conversation ended.

Yams: Kei? Tsuki, you never let me call you Kei!

Kei, with a hint of playfulness, asked if Shoyo was his sunshine.

Kei: Are you my sunshine?

Shoyo, teasingly, replied that he wasn't Kei's yet.

Shoyo: Not yours yet.

Kei, determined to impress Shoyo, assured him that he would stick to his brief and promised to impress him.

Kei: Don't worry, my sunshine. I'll impress you, I promise. I'll make sure to stick to your brief.

The team watched with curiosity and anticipation as the playful exchange between Kei and Shoyo continued. They couldn't help but wonder what surprises were in store for Shoyo and how their relationship would develop through this scavenger hunt.

On the day of the scavenger hunt, Shoyo was surprised to find a note in his locker. The note contained a clue and an expensive item. Excitement filled the air as Shoyo eagerly read the clue and examined the valuable item.

Shoyo's heart raced with anticipation as he carefully analyzed the clue. It was a cleverly written riddle that hinted at the location of the next clue. He couldn't help but wonder what surprises awaited him on this exciting adventure.

The expensive item added an extra layer of intrigue to the scavenger hunt. Shoyo couldn't help but marvel at its beauty and wonder about its significance. It was clear that Kei had put a lot of thought and effort into this surprise, demonstrating his dedication to making this experience truly special.

With a smile on his face and excitement in his eyes, Shoyo pocketed the valuable item and set off to solve the clue and continue the scavenger hunt. He couldn't wait to see what other surprises awaited him along the way, and he had a feeling that this adventure would bring him even closer to Kei

Kei said in his clue he didn't buy it is was an Hairloom a golden Chain

shoyo said

shoyo: fukurodani so I have to go meet up with Bokuto's team

Daichi: Need a ride there we don't have practice today i am heading that way for a captains meeting

shoyo: if its no bother Captain

Shoyo was thrilled to have deciphered the clue and determined that he needed to meet up with Bokuto's team, Fukurodani. When Daichi offered him a ride to the meeting spot, Shoyo gladly accepted.

Shoyo and Daichi hopped into the car, ready for the journey ahead. As they drove, Shoyo couldn't help but feel grateful for Daichi's support and guidance. Being the captain of Karasuno's volleyball team, Daichi was always there to lend a helping hand.

As they arrived at the meeting spot, Shoyo thanked Daichi for the ride and stepped out of the car. He felt a surge of excitement and curiosity as he approached the Fukurodani team. The scavenger hunt had brought him to this moment, and he couldn't wait to see what awaited him next.

With a determined smile, Shoyo joined Bokuto's team, ready to continue the adventure and discover the next clue. The thrill of the scavenger hunt filled the air, and Shoyo was eager to embrace the challenges and surprises that lay ahead.

Shoyo's eyes widened with excitement as he read the message from Tenma Udai. It was a signed photo, and the fact that Kei had mentioned him being a fan and being inspired by Tenma made Shoyo feel even more eager to meet him.

Shoyo quickly realized that he needed to make his way to Tokyo to meet Tenma at the park. He couldn't contain his enthusiasm as he shared the news with Bokuto and the rest of the Fukurodani team.

Bokuto, being the enthusiastic and supportive teammate that he was, cheered Shoyo on. "Hey hey hey, Shoyo! That's amazing! I can't wait for you to meet Tenma. He's a really cool guy!"

With the Fukurodani team's encouragement, Shoyo made his way to Tokyo, filled with anticipation and excitement. He couldn't wait to meet Tenma Udai in person, receive his advice, and discover the next clue that awaited him on this thrilling scavenger hunt.

As he traveled to the park, Shoyo couldn't help but feel grateful for the experiences and connections he had made through volleyball. This journey was not just about the scavenger hunt; it was also about the people he met along the way and the inspiration they provided.

With determination in his heart, Shoyo arrived at the park, ready to meet Tenma Udai and continue his exciting adventure.

Tenma: youngest Miya

shoyo: you know of my brothers

Tenma: yeah Atsumu is a big deal in the volleyball community at the moment

Shoyo's excitement grew as he read the note from Kei. He couldn't help but chuckle at the playful banter between the two siblings. With the clue in hand, he set out to find Akiteru and uncover the next step in his journey to reunite with Kei.

Shoyo arrived at Akiteru's house, feeling a mix of curiosity and anticipation. He knocked on the door, and after a brief moment, it swung open to reveal a tall, bespectacled man with a gentle smile. Akiteru greeted him warmly and invited him inside.

As they sat down in the living room, Shoyo couldn't help but notice the walls adorned with shelves filled with books. The room had an air of intellect and wisdom, which intrigued him even more about Akiteru's role in this adventure.

"Hello, Shoyo," Akiteru said kindly. "I've been expecting you. Kei mentioned that you're on a quest to find him."

Shoyo nodded, his eyes curious. "Yes, I received a clue from him, and it led me to you. Do you have the next clue?"

Akiteru nodded and handed him a small notebook. "Kei asked me to give this to you," he said. "He believes that creative thought process and love are essential for something to be truly special."

Shoyo eagerly opened the notebook, finding a heartfelt message from Kei. It read, "Dear Sunshine, I hope you enjoyed your time with my brother Akiteru. He may have lied to me, but he has a unique perspective on life. Once you're done with him, he'll reveal my location to you. Trust him, and you'll find me."

Intrigued by Kei's words, Shoyo looked up at Akiteru, his eyes filled with curiosity. "What do I need to do next?" he asked, hoping for a clue.

Akiteru smiled gently and said, "To find Kei's location, you need to engage your mind in a different way. I have prepared a riddle for you to solve. It requires creative thinking, observation, and a dash of imagination."

Shoyo's excitement peaked. He loved a good challenge, especially one that would test his abilities in unconventional ways. Eagerly, he listened as Akiteru presented the riddle.

"Here is the riddle," Akiteru began. "I am taken from a mine and shut in a wooden case from which I'm never released. Yet, I am used by almost every person. What am I?"

Shoyo furrowed his brows, pondering the riddle. He thought deeply, considering different possibilities. As he let his mind wander, inspiration struck him like a bolt of lightning.

"A pencil!" he exclaimed, his eyes shining with newfound understanding. "It's a pencil, isn't it?"

Akiteru's smile widened, and he nodded approvingly. "Correct, Shoyo! A pencil it is. Your creative thought process has led you to the answer."

He handed him a small key, intricately designed with a pencil-shaped handle. "This key will lead you to Kei's location," he said. "Unlock the mystery, and you'll find him waiting for you."

Grateful for Akiteru's assistance, Shoyo bid him farewell and set off on his next adventure. He followed the clues, using the key to unlock hidden compartments, decoding cryptic messages along the way.

With each step, Shoyo felt a deeper connection to Kei and the power of creative thinking and love. He knew that this journey was not only about finding Kei but also about discovering his own strengths and embracing the magic of the unexpected.

As he reached his final destination, Shoyo's heart filled with anticipation. He stood before a picturesque garden, bathed in the warm glow of the setting sun. And there, under a blossoming cherry blossom tree, stood Kei, waiting with open arms.

Their eyes met, and a joyous smile spread across Kei's face. In that moment, Shoyo realized that the true treasure of this adventure was not just the destination but the bonds they had formed along the way.

As they embraced, Shoyo knew that the journey they had undertaken had transformed him in ways he never thought possible. And with Kei by his side, he was ready to embark on countless new adventures, filled with creativity, love, and the boundless magic of their shared Sunshine and Moonlight.

it was time for Akiteru to give shoyo Kei's location

Akiteru: my brother he is at Sweet River waters

Shoyo:oh okay thank you Akiteru kun

Akiteru: you can drop the Honorifics with me it's just Akiteru

Shoyo: A-Are you sure I don't wanna see mood

Akiteru: Yes, Shoyo, I'm sure. You don't need to use honorifics with me. We've become friends throughout this journey, and I want you to feel comfortable around me. So, just call me Akiteru, without the honorifics.

Shoyo: Thank you, Akiteru. I appreciate your kindness and understanding.

Akiteru:well my salty little brother has seem to taken a like to you before you leave can i ask for the story

Shoyo: Haha its kind of funny it started with Kei forgetting his water bottle so he borrowed mine So you could say start it with an indirect kiss and he said he has the taste of strawberries which is the lip oil i was wearing to keep my lips hydrated while play volleyball and It kind of had an effect on your brother

Akiteru: Haha, that's quite the amusing story, Shoyo. It seems like Kei's interest in you began with a simple act of borrowing your water bottle. The concept of an indirect kiss can be quite intriguing, I suppose. And the fact that he noticed the taste of strawberries, which happened to be from your lip oil, is quite amusing. It seems like a small moment had quite an impact on my brother. Love works in mysterious ways, doesn't it?

Shoyo: Please, he's been courting me and flirting with me I will say though the look on our Teammate's face is Priceless every time

Akiteru: I see! So it's more than just a passing interest then. Kei has been actively courting and flirting with you. That must be quite exciting for you. And the reactions from your teammates must be quite entertaining. It's always fun to witness the surprise and amusement on people's faces when unexpected romances blossom. Enjoy the attention and the priceless expressions!

Shoyo:I wouldn't call it surprise more like bewilderment. Cause at one point, we couldn't bear to be in the same room with each other and all of the sudden this.

Ah, I understand. So the reactions from your teammates are more of bewilderment rather than surprise. It can be quite unexpected when a close friendship or living arrangement takes a romantic turn. It might be a bit confusing for them to see this sudden change in dynamics. Just give them some time to adjust and understand the situation. As long as you and Kei are happy and comfortable with your new relationship, that's what matters the most.

Shoyo takes in the enchanting surroundings and exchanges a few words with Kei. As they do, music suddenly starts playing, adding to the magical atmosphere. Kei, seizing the moment, asks Shoyo for a dance.

Kei: Shoyo Miya, may I have this dance with you?

Shoyo: Kei Tsukishima, you may.

The two of them then embrace the magic of the moment and dance together, creating a beautiful memory in the midst of the cherry blossoms and sparkling lights.

Shoyo reflects on Kei's actions and words, realizing that true beauty and enchantment can be found in the simplicity of life. He acknowledges Kei's effort in showing him a different perspective and decides to respond to Kei's heartfelt request.

Shoyo: Kei Tsukishima, you have not only passed my challenge but also opened my eyes to the wonders of the world that go beyond material possessions. Your ability to create magic and enchantment in the little things is truly remarkable.

With a smile on his face and a glimmer of love in his eyes, Shoyo continues.

Shoyo: I would be honored to become your boyfriend, Kei. You are my Moonlight, my other half, and I look forward to experiencing more of life's enchantment with you by my side.

Kei was so happy with the answer he said

Kei: To think all of this started with the Taste of Stewberries from an Indirect kiss

The mention of the "Taste of Stewberries" and the indirect kiss brings a blush to Kei's face, as he remembers the sweet and unexpected moment that sparked their journey.

Kei: It's incredible to think that such a small and innocent act like an indirect kiss could lead us to this beautiful connection. It just goes to show that even the simplest things can hold special meaning.

He looks at Shoyo with affection, his eyes filled with warmth.

Kei: Thank you for accepting my feelings, Shoyo. I cherish this bond we share, and I promise to continue finding enchantment in the little moments that we create together.

i wonder | lee seokmin

pairing: lee seokmin x reader

warnings: non-idol au, fluff, baby fever, pet names (sweetheart), reader is implied to be female, lots of kissing, suggestive (??), reader straddles seokmin's lap (not nsfw), seokmin is more than happy to give you what you want, inspired by @oojiehae's last post because GOD was it scrumptious

now playing: i wonder, superliminal ost

Baby fever was hittting you like a train in this moment in time.

Seokmin was on the couch, reading a book as he sat with his legs spread open over the cushions of the couch. His dark brown eyes scanned the pages as his lips moved slightly, and his sharp nose was angled down, as he quite literally had his nose in a book.

Ever since you and your boyfriend had come back from your friend's house, baby fever was clouding your mind. She had let you see her newborn baby girl for the first time, and it drove you to madness, seeing how Seokmin's paternal instincts kicked in just like that.

He was quick to listen to the directions of your friend, and was so good at calming the baby and rocking her to sleep. His eyes seemed to sparkle as he looked down at her, and his soft voice as he talked to her made your insides melt.

You wanted a baby of your own, with Seokmin. You wanted to be able to care for it and watch Seokmin rock it to sleep during a late night, or cook dinner as he watched the child have fun on the little tumbling mat they'd get for the baby. You wanted to be with Seokmin's child, having Seokmin massage your back and kiss your tummy, whispering to the child that was soon to come.

"Hey, Seokmin? Can I talk to you?" You said, head lowered as you came from the kitchen. He looked up, saw your expression, and immediately closed his book, nodding as you slid onto his lap. Seokmin wasn't surprised by this, smiling as he pressed a kiss to your cheek when you sighed on top of him.

"Wasn't Molly's baby so adorable?" You asked, and Seokmin nodded, heart growing soft before your very eyes as his eyes started to sparkle.

"So adorable. Her little fingers were so adorable, and her eyes were so pretty—just like her mommy." Seokmin said, and you fell even harder for him when he described how cute the baby was. He described her with such passion and joy, but just made you want to have his baby, and have his baby now.

"Seokmin, I want one." You say, and Seokmin pauses, confused as he thinks for a second. The words are replaying in your mind, and you hope that Seokmin knows what you're implying.

"I want a baby, Seokmin. With you." You whisper, and Seokmin's eyes darken just slightly as he smiles at you. His eyes fall from your eyes to your lips to your exposed collarbone, and he leans in, warm breath tickling your neck as he presses a kiss to it. His grip is tight on both sides of your waist, and he stares up at you with love in his eyes as he smiles.

"You want a baby, sweetheart?" He repeats, and you nod, too distracted by Seokmin's soft kisses and the sentence you had just muttered out into the world for the first time.

I want a baby, Seokmin. With you.

"You want me to give you a baby?" Seokmin asks again; you know he heard you the first time, but it makes you feel a certain way as you nod. "Please." You beg, and blush at how desperate you actually sound.

"I'll give it to you baby, oh my god, I will. I'll treat you right and give you everything you want, okay? We're going to have our paradise, with you and me and our little mini-me, yeah?" Seokmin promises you, and your eyes fill up with tears (for some reason), smiling as Seokmin's lips fly to yours again.

Your arms slowly drape around Seokmin's neck as he presses his warm body into you, and the two of you tangle with each other. Seokmin's eyes are closed, and you're so close to him, you can feel the flickering of his eyelashes.

Seokmin's hand drops down to your lower back, turning circles on it as he continues to kiss you, lips red and wet from the kissing. He had maybe went overboard, you wouldn't lie, but it made you feel so loved, you didn't mind it.

Once the two of you pulled away, Seokmin grabbed your hands, bringing them to his chest as you came along with them. You landed just a few centimeters from his lips, trying not to look or remember the taste of them as he cupped your cheek.

"We're going to have our own family. I'm going to do it for you. For us." Seokmin's voice was a tender whisper, and he kissed your lips softly, barely brushing them as he kissed your fingertips.

"I promise, sweetheart." He said again, and you nodded, heart swelling with the idea of you, Seokmin, and one more.

feedback & reblogs are always appreciated! thank you for everything :>

zutara nation, why yall don’t ever have long haired zuko in your modern aus, fics and fan art? low ponytail/bun zuko? do yall not want him being the hottest person he can be?

yuji would 100% call his gf princess or my lady in a horrendous british accent and kiss her hand. thoughts …

oh he’s such a hand kisser….. it starts off as an over dramatic, showy thing to get your attention with the accent and everything, and then along the way it just becomes part of his routine. he kisses your hand to greet you, while he’s driving, while you’re waiting for your food at a restaurant, when you’re sad or anxious, when he’s sad or anxious, when he’s bored/absentmindedly playing with your hands anyway, to say good bye :(( and when it’s not your hands, it’s your forehead, it’s like yuuji’s way of casting a blanket of protection around you :((

so true princess is one of his favored terms of endearments for you, whether it’s played up and over dramatic with the accent, or a soft call for you… also partial to baby, that comes out pretty naturally to him and he means it in the sense that you’re his baby and you’re so so cute to him he could eat you up. probably also some food related nickname and/or something very niche or an inside joke that you two honestly have forgotten the origins of at this point, but yuuji keeps it endearing

From Post-It Notes to Forever

The plot:it was a normal day at Fukurōdani college for Iwazumi Keiji or so he thought that was until he went to his locker to put away some text books he found a post it Note with the Number 143 he thought it was like a locker number or something he even asked his twin brother Hajime what it meant his brother lied and said he didn't know on fateful day before a training camp offically started someone walked behind Keiji and said 143 I love you the person was someone keiji had been admiring from afar and alway considered out of his league Suna Rintaro niw stiod before him Keiji turned and said say that again Rintaro said 143 I love you Iwaizumi Keiji add in elements of the song case 143 from stray kidz

The story: It was a regular day at Fukurōdani College for Iwazumi Keiji. He went about his usual routine, attending classes and interacting with his friends. However, everything changed when he went to his locker to stash away some textbooks. Among his belongings, he discovered a small, pink post-it note with the number 143 written on it.

Confused, Keiji pondered over the meaning behind this mysterious number. Was it a code, a locker number, or something else entirely? Seeking answers, he decided to approach his twin brother, Hajime, who coincidentally attended the same college. "Hey, Hajime, do you have any idea what this number 143 means?" Keiji asked, holding up the post-it note.

Hajime, knowing the secret behind the note but deciding to play along, shrugged nonchalantly. "Nah, no clue, Kei," he replied with a mischievous smile.

Perplexed, Keiji couldn't help but feel a sense of intrigue surrounding the number 143. He couldn't shake the feeling that it held a significant meaning. Little did he know that a fateful encounter was about to shed some light on the mystery.

Just before an official training camp was set to begin, Keiji found himself walking through the crowded halls of the college. Lost in thought, he was suddenly startled when a voice murmured, "143. I love you," from behind him. He turned around to find himself face-to-face with Suna Rintaro, the person he had silently admired from a distance but always believed to be out of his league.

Surprised and taken aback, Keiji stammered, "Uh, say that again?"

With a faint smile, Rintaro repeated, "143. I love you, Iwaizumi Keiji."

Keiji's heart raced, and a mix of emotions flooded his mind. The meaning behind the number 143 had finally revealed itself in this unexpected confession. It was a direct reference to the song "Case 143" by the popular K-pop group Stray Kids.

Overwhelmed by the moment, Keiji mustered up the courage to respond, "Rintaro, I... I love you too."

As they stood there, the world seemed to fade away, leaving only the two of them and their newfound connection. And from that day forward, Keiji and Rintaro embarked on a journey filled with love, support, and a shared appreciation for the music that first brought them together. The number 143 became a symbol of their special bond, a reminder of the day their paths crossed and their hearts intertwined.

Keiji and Rintaro's relationship blossomed as they spent more time together during the training camp. They discovered shared passions and interests beyond their initial connection through "Case 143." They would spend hours discussing their favorite music, watching movies, and exploring the campus.

Their friends began to notice the genuine affection between Keiji and Rintaro, and it didn't take long for the news to spread throughout Fukurōdani College. Although Keiji had never been one to seek attention, he couldn't help but bask in the happiness of openly sharing his love for Rintaro.

Meanwhile, the members of Stray Kids, unknowingly becoming an important part of Keiji and Rintaro's story, were gaining even more popularity. "Case 143" became one of their most beloved songs, and its lyrics resonated deeply with fans worldwide.

One day, Keiji decided to take a leap of faith by reaching out to Stray Kids, sharing their story and expressing their gratitude for creating a song that ultimately brought him and Rintaro together. Touched by his message, the members acknowledged them during an interview, dedicating a heartfelt rendition of "Case 143" to Keiji and Rintaro.

As their college years continued, Keiji and Rintaro faced challenges that tested their relationship. The demands of school and athletics often left them with limited time together. However, they overcame these obstacles with patience, understanding, and unwavering support for one another.

Keiji never forgot the significance of the number 143, and he made it a personal tradition to surprise Rintaro with little gestures on the 14th of each month. Rintaro cherished these thoughtful expressions, always treasuring their connection and the love they shared.

After graduating from Fukurōdani College, Keiji and Rintaro pursued their separate careers, but their love remained unwavering. Keiji became a renowned physical therapist, while Rintaro pursued his passion for music and joined a successful band.

Years later, Keiji and Rintaro found themselves attending a Stray Kids concert in their city. During an intermission, the stage lights dimmed, and a video montage began playing on the big screen. As Keiji and Rintaro watched in awe, memories of their college days, the number 143, and their journey together were beautifully displayed.

The Stray Kids members shared personal messages expressing their gratitude for being a part of Keiji and Rintaro's love story, followed by a surprise performance of "Case 143." Keiji held Rintaro's hand tightly, tears of joy streaming down their cheeks as the familiar melody filled the concert hall.

In that moment, surrounded by the music that had first united them, Keiji and Rintaro realized that their love story was timeless. The number 143 would forever remind them of the magical day they found each other and the beautiful connection they shared. Together, they stood at the forefront of their own love song, cherishing each other as they continued to create their own melodies in harmony.

They embraced each other, savoring the moment and the overwhelming rush of emotions.

News of their engagement spread quickly amongst their friends and the Stray Kids fandom. Fans rejoiced and flooded social media with messages of love and congratulations. Stray Kids themselves couldn't contain their excitement and sent their warm wishes to the newly engaged couple.

Keiji and Rintaro began planning their wedding, keeping it intimate and filled with personal touches that reflected their journey together. They included elements inspired by "Case 143" in the ceremony, making it a true celebration of their love story.

On their wedding day, as Keiji stood at the altar, his heart brimming with joy, he couldn't help but reflect on the serendipitous events that led him and Rintaro to that moment. They had come a long way from the day Keiji found that mysterious note in his locker. It had sparked a chain of events that brought him the love and happiness he never thought possible.

Surrounded by family, friends, and the melodious tunes of Stray Kids' music, Keiji and Rintaro exchanged their vows, each word a testament to their love and commitment. Their union was sealed with a kiss, symbolizing the beginning of a beautiful journey as husband and husband.

The reception was filled with laughter, tears of joy, and heartfelt speeches. As the night carried on, Stray Kids took the stage and serenaded the couple with a special performance of "Case 143," adding a magical touch to the celebration.

Keiji and Rintaro danced their first dance as a married couple, wrapped in each other's arms, feeling the love and support from everyone around them. They knew that their love story would continue to grow and flourish, just like their favorite song.

Years passed, and Keiji and Rintaro continued to build a life filled with love, laughter, and shared dreams. Together, they navigated the highs and lows, always holding onto the significance of "1437" and what it represented.

And as Keiji looked back on those fateful days at Fukurōdani College, he couldn't help but be grateful for the simple post-it note that had changed his life. It had led him to his soulmate, his best friend, and the love of his life—Suna Rintaro.

In the end, their story proved that sometimes, the smallest gestures and coincidences could spark a love that transcended distance, obstacles, and even time itself. "1437"—a number that would forever hold a special place in their hearts and serve as a reminder of the extraordinary love they were blessed to share.

You really hurtin yerself 😭

[lumin0xity]

genya they could never make me hate you my sweet boy

[inkykeiji]

hihi! your rb with the tags about your profession had me intrigued and I wanted to ask, what DID kill the Hollywood system? if you don't mind me asking >u<

HI HI HI HEHEHE first of all i hope you’re doing well!!! seCONDLY OMGGG thank you for indulging me waaaaah i love talking about golden age/classical hollywood and the studio system!!!

beware: i rambled on and on below the cut >.< apologies for the mini essay in advance waaah

OKAY SO. first, a little context. the classical hollywood studio system originally utilized a practice called ‘vertical integration’, which basically means they owned and operated ALL channels of production, distribution, AND exhibition—aka, they controlled literally everything in regards to the films they made, which was like 90% of american filmmaking at the time. this, naturally, made it quite difficult for any film that wasn’t a film made by the Big Five (warner bros, paramount, 20th century fox, RKO, and MGM) or the Little Three (columbia pictures, united artists, and universal) to be screened at a theatre, because the studios owned a decent chunk of the theatres.

furthermore, the theatres the big studios DID own always got first run of their films, meaning that their movies were exclusively screened at the theatres they owned first, then were passed off to second run, third run and fourth run theatres. it’s important to note here that the film prints being distributed and passed around theatres were the same all throughout a film’s run—so by the time a print reached a fourth run theatre, the film stock was all scratched up and low quality. who wants to go watch that? (no one! audiences flocked to the first run theatres owned by the studios!).

the antitrust case between the supreme court and paramount pictures (aka ‘the paramount decrees’) was the first, and heaviest, nail in the coffin of the studio system. the paramount decrees did two things. first, they forced studios to stop a practice known as block booking. block booking was a practice where theatres not owned by the big studios were forced to buy a huge block or batch of films in advance. usually, these films included one A-list film and then a bunch of B-movies and other less desired films. second, they forced studios to cease owning theatre chains, which allowed for indie directors to begin screening their films, AND it allowed for more international films to be shown (which in turn helped break down the production code & replaced it with the ratings system).

this began the end of the system! it was then further impacted by consumer culture, car culture, and suburbia. after world war two, many people moved out of the city and into the suburbs, where they began to start families. car culture was booming and it was hip to have a car that you could use to commute to work (from the suburbs into the city!). disposable income was abundant, and many families were buying fancy new appliances for their new suburban homes—including televisions.

it’s a common misconception that TV killed the studio system. it was, in actually, only one of several nails in the coffin. television at the time was pretty crummy; it was low quality, the screens were small, and it only had about three channels (not to mention studios began allowing television networks to begin screening older films that no longer ran in theatres). but evidence proves that moviegoing attendance had fallen drastically several years before televisions became a fixture in the home. to combat TV and capitalize on car culture, studios began erecting drive-ins, to little avail!

anyway, i could go on and on and on but basically, in a nutshell, those were the handful of things that broke down the classical studio system and gave way to ‘new hollywood’…which then gave way to the blockbuster.
