#so I'm set! >:D time to watch them bloom and enjoy them!!

[prince-liest]

After an adventure with FedEx misdelivery (the driver apparently actually came back and re-delivered the package), my orchids have arrived!!

The Phalaenopsis Sweet Memory 'Liodoro'! No scent yet, but I've heard that's common for new/stressed plants that have just bloomed, so I'm very exciting for when it decides to grace me with its fragrance. It's clearly a really healthy, mature plant - there's a visible old spike from previous flowering, and the leaves are enormous! There's also a new flower bud hiding behind the mature bloom, ready to open soon. I'm so hyped to finally have one of these. My mom immediatelly called dibs on any keikis it ever makes, haha.

Phalaenopsis Kenneth Schubert 'Hualien Blue Wave,' another fragrant violacea hybrid like the Sweet Memory 'Liodoro'! This one is also has peloric parentage, which is a mutation where the petals of the flower start looking a little bit more like the flower lip. In this case it's the two petals that have more purple ridging on the sides, which I think looks really freaking pretty and adds a lot of charm to these flowers.

And lastly my new (and first ever) cattleya, the Lois McNeil 'Ace AM/AOS'! Cattleyas are very often fragrant in general (as you can see, I went all in on fragrant orchids after first experiencing one with the oncidium I bought a couple of months ago). The photo of the actual flower here is from the listing, as I bought this as a mature plant that is not currently in bud/bloom. However, it has new canes coming up and you can see in the photo that is has bloomed in the past, so I have no concerns about having to wait for years for it to mature!

I actually really love the look of the cattleya canes - they feel much more neat than oncidium pseudobulbs. This orchid may actually end up on my windowsill rather than under the grow lights because these guys love a bit of filtered or morning sunlight and bloom much better with it! Phals can often tolerate and enjoy gentle direct sun as well (I used to keep my phals on an eastern windowsill), but cattleyas are known for liking more light.

I'm so happy with these three plants! <3

draco malfoy x sister whose dating theo and like draco is lowkey a bully to her and she takes the spell for one of them and dies and they reminisce

I'm not sure if this is what you had in mind, but I hope you like it! I tried to make it so they reminisced together and separately. Warnings: death, grief, Draco being remorseful for his d!ckhead past self, I think that's it? Let me know what you think in the comments. If you want to be added to my tag list, leave a comment. My works are not to be reposted.

Beneath the Malfoy Oaks.

~~~

Dinner in Malfoy manor was a formal affair, and the long dining table was set with silver and crystal. As y/n and Theo sat together, Draco joined them, his posture stiff and his eyes cold.

“Lovely to see you two making yourselves at home,” Draco said, his voice dripping with sarcasm. “Although, I must say, it’s rather amusing watching my best mate choose such unsavory company.”

Theo kept his voice calm. “We’re here to enjoy a meal, Draco. Can’t we have one evening without your disdain?”

Draco’s smile was tight. “Oh, but this is just the beginning. I’d hate for y/n to forget what it means to be a Malfoy."

~~~

Draco couldn’t stop remembering the last family dinner that he shared with y/n, he wished he would have been kinder to his twin, he had always been so cruel to her, but he didn’t even know why. Draco wished he could have told y/n how much he admired her, she never let her emotions control her actions and he needed her to keep him in check.

The large oak trees that stood in the middle of the Malfoy estate gardens had red and orange leaves, the air was getting a bit chillier, and the days were shorter, it was close to winter. The gardens, more precisely the oak trees, had always been y/n’s favorite place to escape to when the siblings were home from Hogwarts. She would most of the day just sat beneath the two oaks reading or just looking up at the sky, y/n had a habit of falling asleep in this spot too on occasion.

Draco looked down at the blanket hung over his arm, the once pristine purple and black quilt was now old and had started to rip, but y/n did love the quilt, and it showed how well loved the blanket was. The silvery-blonde male laid the quilt on the ground beneath the two oaks, in the middle of the large trees, in the same spot his siter always would and sat down on the worn blanket.

~~~

The Slytherin common room was unusually quiet for a Saturday evening, the usual murmur of students replaced by an uncomfortable silence as Draco Malfoy approached y/n and Theo Nott, who were sitting close together by the fireplace with their hands intertwined.

Draco’s gaze was icy as he swept into the room, his presence commanding attention and declared self-importance.

“Must be nice to have such a cozy little corner to yourself,” Draco sneered, his eyes flicking disdainfully over y/n. “Too bad it comes with the price of your dignity.”

Theo’s jaw tightened, but y/n stood, stepping between them. “Draco, what do you want this time? Don’t you have something better to do with your time?”

“Just making sure my best chaser isn’t being dragged down by anyone who isn’t up to our standards,” Draco said, his voice dripping with condescension and cruelty.

Once the Malfoy male had walked away, Theo turned to his beloved girlfriend and looked at her concern and sympathy. "I'm sorry, amor mio. It's not fair for him to treat this way without any reason, and even then you don't deserve his cruelty." Theo's arms wrapped around the Malfoy girl and he pulled her into a tight embrace, which the girl happily returned.

~~~

Theo thought back to that day in the common room, it was only four months ago but it felt like years, wondering if he had chosen to stand up for y/n if things would be different. If she would still be here, standing beside him with her nearly silver hair pulled back all pretty and her lips pulled up into a smile, her hand held in his as they looked at the rose bushes that were no longer blooming for the winter.

The once heavenly scented rosebushes that y/n always smelled nearly identical too, were now devoid of any flowers even though the thorns remain. Theo wondered if the roses died when she did, if the thorns remained as a reminder that even after the beauty is gone the danger still lurks. Flicking the ash of his cigarette onto the ground, Theo felt like there was a hole in his heart, where y/n had claimed the moment he met her.

~~~

The blonde-haired male sat beside someone he considered to be one of his best mates, someone who would have potentially been his brother-in-law a few years from now, Theodore Nott. The two men sat beneath the two Malfoy oak trees on the purple and black quilt, a box filled with parchment stained with ink sat in front of them, the box was one of the many things’ y/n had left covered in her favorite book quotes and little drawings.

 It was y/n’s safe keepings box that was kept under the floorboards in her closet, so she always knew where it was, and she could look back on memories that were import to her. Now it was filled with the little trinkets that the younger Malfoy twin had placed inside, and the many letters that she had given to her brother and her boyfriend over the last seven years.

Y/n had only been gone for four months, but if you asked Draco and Theo, they’d say it couldn’t have been such a short time ago, it felt like it had been four years. The months have seemed to just drag on and to the rest of the wizarding world, it seemed like the two men were either just going through the motions or numbing their grief with alcohol or other substances.

Theo reached forward and grabbed the first piece of parchment from the box, being careful not to cause any damage to the page. He smiled when he read the first few words that were written, turning his head towards Draco and handing it over. A quote from the play “Hélas, Je Me Suis Transfiguré les Pieds” was written at the top of the page, the rest of the piece of parchment was covered in drawings and spells with their use/purpose.

“Y/n really did like to read that play, didn’t she read it like eight times in like a month?” Draco asked with a hint of amusement, his lips were upturned in a slight smile as his fingers faintly ghosted over the handwritten quote that his sister had written. He knew that his younger twin had liked to write this line from her favorite play, he was never sure why, he was sure the girl didn’t even know herself, but he had found it annoying then.

“Yeah, she really did love to read, it didn’t really matter what she was reading as long as it wasn’t boring.” Theo said with a small chuckle while shaking his head, his brown eyes were focused on the next piece of parchment that he was lifting from the box.

~~~

The corridor of Hogwarts seemed to freeze in time, the echo of the battle outside muffled as if the world had narrowed to the space between them. Draco’s and Theo’s eyes were wide with terror, watching helplessly as the dark figure advanced, wand raised, a curse poised to strike. Their breath came in short, ragged gasps.

In the chaos, it was as if nothing else existed but the impending doom and Draco’s sister, y/n, rushing forward with a determination that seemed both fierce and fragile. Her face, usually calm and composed, was now a mask of resolute bravery and determination.

Y/n, her light hair tumbling in disarray, reached them just as the curse left the enemy’s wand. Her own wand flicked in a desperate counter-curse, but she was too late. The dark magic surged forward, relentless and unstoppable.

“Y/N, NO!” Their scream was a raw, desperate sound as Theo lunged forward, but she was faster, throwing herself in front of them.

The curse hit her with a sickening, sickly glow. For a moment, time seemed to slow, the world holding its breath. Y/n’s eyes widened in pain and shock, and then her body crumpled to the ground with a shattering finality.

Draco and Theo rushed to her side, Theo’s hands trembling as he cradled her limp form. Her eyes, still open, looked up at them with a serene acceptance. The light in them was fading, dimming like the last embers of a once-roaring fire quickly.

“Y/n, no, stay with me. Please,” Draco begged; his voice choked with tears. He shook her gently, desperately searching for a sign that she was still there, that she could hear him and would be okay.

Her lips moved slightly, forming words that were barely a whisper, but they were enough. “I... I’m sorry...”

Her breath grew shallow, and then it stopped altogether. The finality of her absence hit both men with an unbearable weight, leaving Draco and Theo alone in the shattered remnants of what was once in this world.

~~~~

The sun had set a long while ago and it had grown cold, but the two men still sat beneath the two oak trees in the Malfoy gardens on the purple and black quilt. The box of keepsakes had been gone through long ago, but now they just discussed different stories about y/n. They weren’t ready to say goodbye, the realization that they would never get to say anything to her face to face hadn’t fully sunk in, they didn’t want to accept that she was gone.

Draco and Theo thought back to that day in the corridors of Hogwarts, to the sound of battle and carnage that left many dead, injured, grieving, or traumatized, To the day that y/n had jumped in front of them to stop a curse from hitting them. Even though Draco had never been anything short of a bully she still saved him. Y/n sacrificed herself to save her boyfriend, the man that had confessed his love for her in the astronomy tower under the night sky in fourth year.

In that dark, sorrowful moment, Draco Malfoy and Theo Nott were left with nothing but the memory of y/n’s bravery, her final gift to them, and the unbearable silence of a future that would never be the same and the past that can never be rectified.

Chapter 60: 2 Eyes, 2 Furious

Sorry this took so long, everyone! I've been incredibly busy at work and have a lot of presentations coming up, so it may be slow for a while. Thank you so much for sticking around and being patient <3

Warnings: Sexual violence, torture, gore, body horror

The second you got your full vision back, you knew exactly what you wanted to do. It was exactly what you promised to do. Warthin was waiting for you with bated breath in the brig and you didn't want to keep him waiting much longer. You wouldn't want him to forget how much he should fear you. Kid was reluctant to release you, finally fully absolved of his asshole crimes. You could tell he really wanted you all to himself after being shut out of your company for a while. You had missed him, too, as much as he angered you. While you enjoyed being alone in the dungeon, free to do whatever fucked up thing your heart desired without judgement, it did get lonely. And you did want some recognition for your excellent torturing skills. 

"Captain?"

"Yes, doll?"

"Would you like to come downstairs with me?" 

"I thought ya'd never ask." Kid grinned and set you down on the deck. "Meet ya in five minutes."

You continued to the brig without him, wide smile creeping across your face. It was going to feel so good to watch those fucks squirm with both of your eyes. You kicked open the door to the brig, sauntering in with wicked thoughts brimming from your mind. You paced back and forth waiting for Kid, grabbing a cat o' nine tails off the wall. You may as well warm up while you waited. Warthin was still on his hands and knees in the position you had left him in. His back was a canvas begging to be painted red. Some days, you thought about trying to erase the memories of your captivity. If you did that, however, you wouldn't have the fuel to dole out the retribution these people deserved. 

"None of you noticed my new eye. I'm offended." You slapped the handle of the nine tails in the palm of your hand. "Today, I thought we could start with some light whipping, then move on to couple's therapy, then finish up with group brutality. Any thoughts, questions, concerns? No? Good."

For the better part of a  half-hour, you introduced the cat o' nine tails to Warthin's back, admiring the criss-crossed welts and lacerations that bloomed across his skin. Where the fuck is he? Kid was sure taking his time. Maybe he had gotten called away to take care of something. They had been talking about some abandoned island they'd heard about recently. It was probably something about that. Warthin's whimpering and sobbing brought overcame your thoughts. With one last, hard, lash, you left him to leak tears and blood onto the floor. The precious few marines you had left were very nearly broken. Their faces were fully drenched in dread and dripping with misery. Only the tiniest glimmer remained in their eyes, and you would make sure it was snuffed out.  

You put your full body into their flogging. The sharp points on each end of the whips were invisible as they whipped through the air and the fleshy, wet impact was satisfying to your ears, though you wish you could hear more of it through their complaining. By the time you were out of breath, Kid still wasn't there and you felt like that was enough of a warm up. It was fine to switch your schedule around. You paced the wall of prisoners, sticking your fingers into their wounds while you thought about how you were going to do this. Warthin was in perfection position already. As promised, everything they did to you was going to be done to them.

"I hope you've all decided to cooperate." You bent down and jerked Warthin's head back by his hair, hissing in his face. "Aren't you excited? What's wrong?"

"P-please. Don't do this. Kill me fifty, no, one thousand more times but d-don't do this."

"I'm confused. You seemed to love it a few weeks ago." When he didn't reply, you continued, "Oh! I get it! You don't like being on the receiving end. Hold on. Let me check to something." You addressed the marines strung up on the wall, pointing at them as you spoke. "Remember when I said you needed to choose to fuck him or get fucked? Did anyone choose to get fucked? No?" You turned attention back to Warthin. "Yeah... unfortunately it seems like that's too fucking bad." You slapped him on the cheek and grinned. "I don't enjoy doing this, so you know. But I will enjoy your suffering." 

The marine that seemed to have something against Warthin would be first. You took him from the wall and shackled him behind Warthin, with room to move. The one that won your little race went in front. The last remaining marine had a very special job. You had pruning shears for him to use later. They were a little rusty, probably not sharp, and had dried blood in the crevices. Warthin could dish it out but he couldn't take it. Suddenly, his manhood left his body and turned him into a sniveling bitch. So he would be taken like a bitch and you would have his manhood permanently removed. 

"I want him in tears." You gestured for them to begin.

When you said you didn't enjoy doing this, it was the truth. It made you feel like a hypocrite in some respects. You were true to your word, however, and stuck to your "eye for an eye" ideology. Warthin deserved to feel everything that you had gone through. Maybe he would feel even a sliver of remorse for everything he had done if he knew how much pain it caused firsthand. Judging from his screams, he was learning. Soon, even his screams were muffled and occasional gagging replaced them. 

It took them a minute to get started. Something about raping their superior had them shy. Funny, it didn't seem to stop them when it was you. A little persuasion helped them get into the mood, that and you manipulating them with your devil fruit. They would probably last a few hours, again thanks to your devil fruit. While they weren't grateful in the beginning for that, they were after you told them the first one to finish would win a unique prize. They knew by now that your promises were never good. Honestly, you got bored pretty quickly since you weren't the one directly inflicting pain. 

"Tell me where to find Von Kossa and I'll make it stop," you addressed Warthin.

He didn't have an answer for you.

"Every time you refuse to answer, I'll make his dick bigger and your asshole smaller. So tell me what I want to know."

Warthin was struggling to stay conscious, or more likely, trying to retreat into the recesses of his mind. Something you were quite familiar with, thanks to him. 

"Where is he?"

He was still present, but gave no answer. 

You followed through with your threat, causing the marine fucking his ass to wince and a despair-filled wail to come from Warthin. "Tell me," you commanded him. 

This went on a few more times before he crumbled. He started to say something, but there was a cock in the way, so you paused the mouth fucker and allowed Warthin to speak.

"I d-don't know where..." He paused to retch. "...he is." He saw the displeasure cross your face. "BUT! Hang on!" He weakly held his hand out in the universal gesture to stop. "Your ship. I can t-tell you where it is." 

"Go on."

"Gomori Island."

"Okay." You clapped your hands. "Continue."

"BUT I TOLD YOU SOMETHING."

"And? That's not what I asked for, is it?" 

"B-but it's your ship!"

There was still a part of you that longed for your ship deep down. "This is my ship." Not literally of course, but this was your home now. "Anyway, continue."

"NO! N-." He was cut off by the resumed throat fucking.

That pissed you off. Your arms were folded and the more you thought about it, the harder your hands clenched into fists. Warthin thought he could buy you. He thought he was still in control of what was happening here. You walked closer to him and healed his back, leaving only fresh, unmarred skin. Other torturers probably wouldn't have the balls to put a blade in the hand of a prisoner. But you weren't like other torturers, nor were you ignorant enough to let a prisoner get the upper hand. You gave a small knife to the butt-fucking marine and pushed the face-fucking one away. The, you kicked Warthin in the head as hard as you could. You really wanted to bludgeon him to death at the moment. You settled for one solid kick.

"You must think I'm stupid," You sneered. "I always get what I want and you don't get to compromise with me. So tell me where Von Kossa is or keep your worthless mouth shut." 

A bright red and purple bruise bloomed on the side of his face and one of his eyes had blood leaking into the whites. The bones of his cheek and eye socket were collapsed, deforming his face. 

"You're going to write me an apology, and since you're otherwise occupied, Lieutenant Buttfuck over here is going to write it down for you. Start telling him what to write." You motioned to the knife and Warthin's back. "You, write. And don't stop fucking him."

Between the kick in the head and his asshole ripping, Warthin could barely focus on thinking of an apology. Several times he had to restart because his buddy's handwriting wasn't legible. It ends up taking quite a long time. At least this was less boring than before, and maybe now you would have something worth mailing to the marines. Something like this might force Von Kossa out since it was essentially a written confession implicating him. Would it be like kicking a bee's nest to taunt the marines this way? Probably, but the idea brought a smile to your face. If they didn't already know you were alive, they would. 

While they were busy doing that, you didn't want the other two to miss out on any fun. That wouldn't be fair. You wished Kid would show his face. It was tiring having to torture four people simultaneously by yourself. You really were an artist, a director. A director of the most gruesome play on a private stage. The other two, you decided, would be sewn together in a sort of ouroboros sixty-nining situation, constantly choking and gagging but unable to pull away. They rolled around on the floor, desperate to find a position that offered any relief. You had to stomp them or kick them away a few times when they almost interrupted your other venture. When your written apology was finished, you kicked your prisoner away from Warthin, dick popping out of Warthin's ass with a wet popping sound. With a wave of your hand you incapacitated him with the exception of his arm and his cock. 

"Cut your cock off. You don't need it anymore."

He hesitated, eyes wide. 

"Cut it off or I'll make it explode. No. I'll make it implode. That's right. Implode." You didn't actually know what that entailed. Something like the penis involuting back inside his body or folding in on itself you imagined.

He started sawing the thing off immediately, which was taking much longer than expected since all the letter carving dulled the blade. You were impressed that he held in his screams even a little bit. Not long after, he was spitting and screaming and wailing, cursing your name. While your wards were busy, you started meticulously skinning Warthin's back. If you could dry and tan the skin properly, it would look sick. You couldn't very well send it fresh or the rot would mess the words up. 

Engrossed in your detailed work, you almost didn't see the door open. Kid stood in the doorway, taking in your activities. His expression ranged from shock to bewilderment to acceptance, all in swift succession.

"Where the fuck have ya been?"

"I was about to say the same thing!"

"Was waitin for ya in my cabin."

"I said- oh you thought downstairs meant-" You rolled your eyes. "You were waiting this whole time? It's been hours."

Kid scoffed. "I only waited like twenty minutes."

"So what were you doing the rest of the time?"

"Jerking off? Duh."

"It's been hours."

"I was edging in case ya showed up."

"There's something wrong with you."

Kid looked pointedly at what you were doing.

"What? This is my craft." 

"Jerking off is my craft." Kid noticed the two guys still struggling on the floor. "Nice."

This perked you up. "Do you like it?"

"Ya know I like when ya do fucked up shit." Kid's eyes drifted among your victims. "Damn, did ya leave anything for me?"

You freed the two marines who were attached mouth-to-dick with your fruit, separating them. They were in mostly good shape. "I thought we could try something new." 

"Oh fuck yeah! Like pegging?" 

"New torture. Torture." 

"So is that a firm no?"

You stared incredulously at him. "Do you think you could focus?"

"Whatever, doll." Kid huffed, coming over to pat your head. "What does yer little heart desire?"

You were finishing up removing the skin from Warthin's back. "Remember a while back, when I suggested that you could probably control blood?"

"Aye, that was right before we-"

"Yes. Right before that." You cut him off, not really wanting to share any of those details with the ears of prisoners. 

Kid's wide grin flashed. "I've been curious about that myself."

After you hung Warthin's skin up to dry, Kid and yourself put the prisoners back on the wall. You grabbed the dismembered... member, and shoved it into its owners mouth, not with your bare hand, of course. Then you gagged him, hoping he would slowly choke to death. You didn't forget to take the knife away from him either. Kid was exceedingly rough when he put Warthin back into the wall shackles, making sure his raw back was touching the rough wall as much as possible, and stretching his joints to their limits. Actually, you were certain his shoulders were dislocated. They were all screaming, yet you could mostly tune it out since you were so used to it. 

Starting simple, you put a small cut in one of the marines. The blood trickled out slowly. Kid tried to focus on feeling the blood, like how he could feel metal objects. It was a much fainter sense than he was accustomed to, yet he was certain he could feel it. Kid put all his effort into redirecting the drip horizontally, defying gravity. It paused for half a second, possibly moving almost indiscernibly to the right. Seeing this, Kid gained confidence that this was something he could do. If he could learn it, and control it, it would prove to be a very dangerous power. And he could keep his dick hard longer. This new thought motivated him. He wasn't even going to think about trying it until he was sure he wouldn't blow his cock off, even though he had some incredibly detailed plans for a mechanical replacement penis with a bunch of awesome attachments, including but not limited to, a flamethrower and nail clippers. If it ever came to that.

Whenever Kid got frustrated with his lack of progress, there were very stress-relieving meat punching bags ready to take his anger out on. All you did was heal them enough so that they would live, not live really, but so they would die differently later. You noticed that he would hit Warthin much harder than the rest of them. It was touching that he still harbored rage for him on your behalf. It must have been an hour before Kid managed to move a finger. After he moved the trickling blood stream, he graduated to trying to move blood still inside the person. He was stuck on moving the fingers ever so slightly. He couldn't do more than that.

"This shit is too fucking hard!" 

"Are you a quitter?"

"NO!" Kid growled. "What's the fuckin point? Yer power can do this!"

"What if I'm not around and you need to use it?"

"When are ya not gonna be around?!"

"I don't know! It's a hypothetical!"

"YER NOT LEAVIN MY SIGHT! Ya keep getting lost!"

"Technically, I was stolen."

"DON'T FUCKIN REMIND ME!" Kid turned his attention to Warthin, barely restraining himself from ripping him apart.

"I'm not planning on going anywhere." You put his attention back on his task. Maybe later you would let him have a turn with Warthin. It might be fun to watch Kid and Killer take their anger out on him.

Kid struggled for a while longer, getting more irritated with every passing second. You figured it might be like this. You could always take a break and try again some other time. No one can master a technique in a day. You suggested taking a break but he shot you down, now too stubborn to give up. Kid was predictable. As such, you thought of something that may help. 

"Hey."

"WHAT?!"

"If you can move his arm, I'll peg you."

Kid blinked and turned back to the marine. Without warning, the marine's arm popped off his body and flew around the room like an untied balloon, spraying blood over both of you. 

His amber eyes glanced at the stump of the marines arm and the lifeless limb on the floor. "HA! LET'S GO!" He ran and grabbed you around the middle, barreling toward the door.

"Wait! Wait." He set you down. "I almost forgot." You found the long gloves that were kept for messy situations and donned them. Then, you grabbed the pruning shears and held them over a flame until they glowed molten orange. This was meant to be done by the leftover marine since you didn't really want to touch Warthin's dick at all. It still made your skin crawl to think about. The pleasure of chopping his dick off and shoving it up his ass should really be yours and no one else's, however, so you made the sacrifice.

You imagined it would be one clean chop. To his dismay, it took several chops to get the thing off, quite a lot really. It just kept getting jammed between the blades, folding over them, instead of being cut, like when you cut plastic ties with dull scissors. The entire point of heating it was to cauterize the vessels so it didn't make him bleed out. That didn't really pan out since it cooled down over the period of cutting. You feigned an apologetic expression as you mangled it further. It looked like you stuffed firecrackers in one end of it by the time you had actually severed it completely, or maybe like a small dog had gnawed on it for a while. It mattered little what it looked like because you held it in your fist and punched it straight up his asshole, reaching as far as you could go and jamming it there. The disgust hit later. In the moment, it felt good to hurt him. You wanted to rip him apart from the inside. You wanted to shove both your arms up his ass and tear him in two. And you could probably do it. But it was almost time for dinner and you didn't want to spoil your appetite.

October 2024 - An Amazing Month for Manga

Hey everyone, I've been out and about this whole month because of manga-related events.

I got a chance to check out Kodansha House, the pop-up experience that was in my home of NYC. And it was everything I hoped for. There was a lot of display of art from series like Akira, Initial D, Attack on Titan, Vinland Saga, Witch Hat Atelier, The Flowers of Evil, and Blue Period.

Not only that, there were goodies on sale, a bubble tea pop-up, 2 Initial D: Arcade Stage cabinets, a manga library full of Kodansha titles to read, and a 2nd floor for events with free concessions.

I got a chance to watch the Blue Lock: Episode Nagi movie to celebrate the launch of the manga spinoff in the U.S.. It's a nice change of perspective and it definitely pleased fans of Reo Mikage x Seishiro Nagi. The English voice for Yoichi Isagi, Ricco Fajardo, was also in attendance and did a Q&A about what he loves about Blue Lock and voice acting in general.

Before New York Comic-Con happened, I went to the Anitomo Manga Matsuri at the 53rd Street New York Public library and attended a manga publishers panel. Representatives from Viz Media, Yen Press, Square Enix and Kodansha all recommended titles worth reading in shonen, shojo, LGBT+, horror, series with anime tie-ins, and Spring 2025 picks. There's a lot of titles worth reading and I can't name all of them here. But popular titles like The Summer Hikaru Died, The Guy She Was Interested In Wasn't Really a Guy at All, Kagurabachi, Frieren: Beyond Journey's End, Blue Lock: Episode Nagi, The Apothecary Diaries, The Fragrant Flower Blooms with Dignity, and Dragon and Chameleon were featured.

There was some online commentary about The Fragrant Flower Blooms with Dignity being listed as a shojo (it's published in a shonen magazine) and someone at the panel did raise a point about a neglected manga genre that still hasn't received its great moment yet (I might get to this in a future post). All in all, I enjoyed the intimacy of this panel as there wasn't a large crowd and everyone immediately felt the energy of talking about manga with experts that know it well.

And while I didn't go to New York Comic-Con, I did hear that anime and manga was front and center still despite major comic publishers not being at the event. A lot of the buzz came from Japanese-related businesses, so it's nice to hear.

Finally, I got a chance to see Makoto Yukimura of Vinland Saga fame. What a guy. I remember when Vinland Saga was first licensed here in 2013, not many people gave it a chance. Kodansha USA representatives at the time said the manga was struggling sales-wise and were relying on buzz to get new volumes published. Then an anime adaptation finally came 14 years after the Japanese manga debut and fans finally saw how great the series was. Yukimura was very chill and hilarious. He said he strives to be like Thorfinn as best he can. I got a chance to tell him that my favorite character is Hild an I'm looking forward to seeing how Yukimura ends the manga because the endgame is not too far.

Anyway, October was fun. I hope there's more Kodansha House events in the future in other places. Other North American metropolitan areas deserve a pop-up experience like Kodansha provided. It's an intimate setting for a community of fans that continue to demand the best from manga publishing folks. Everyone looked to have a great time, whether it was riding Kaneda's famous bike to dressing up as a Titan lording over a town to playing Initial D to reading manga.

I'll say this - despite manga sales not as high as they once were during COVID, manga is here to stay. We're still in a golden age of manga here. Enjoy it while we still can!

MOTS ON:E DVD Pt. 2

This package was released in September 2021 and covers the online concerts performances filmed on 201010 and 201011. There are 3 DVDs included in this package. The first 2 DVDs cover the actual concert in full from 201010. The 2nd DVD also includes the last part of that day 1 concert as well as day 2s solo stages. Disc 3 includes the merch and poster making film and VCR making film, the Rehersals and practice making films and the concert d-day making film. (300 minutes in total from all 3 DVDs.) You can find my post over the first 2 discs here. And Disc 3 is what I'll cover in this post. Reminder again that this is simply me bullet point talking about this as I go basically, like I'm reacting to a friend. Lol I'll also add here that I found a link on YouTube for the whole 3rd DVD as well that you can all watch. It only goes up to 360p but it's Still pretty good!

Disc 3

Merch and Poster Making Film:

The DVD opens with everyone's individual shoot in a backstage setting for their concert merch. Namjoon telling us about how sad he is that his cherry blossoms haven't bloomed yet on his tree. He is a precious soul. 🥺 NamKookMin in a unit. And so cute. Lol jikooks constant giggles and bickering and the way Jimin pinched JKs nipple so JK pinched his upper thigh and their constant touching. Lmfao Joonie asking to be saved 🤣 "who put me In a unit with these two" will always be so hysterical

They did their shoots for their poster in October 2019. They shot in front of different backdrops while standing in water and they looked so pretty. And then we of course have jikook posing separately in front of some of the backdrops and taking photos of each other for themselves. Lol very cute. And Hobi just watching them giggling.

And when they shot silhouette shots, Hobi asked if ARMY would be able to tell who was who and they started making guesses. And JK just goes "anyone would be able to tell Jimin is right there" 🥺 They did the next shoot in front of an all white backdrop. Lol Everyone teasing about their running poses and Tae taking a photo of Jins silly running pose to keep too 🤣 and everyone kept crashing into each other 😭🤣 and then the softest moment ever in their shoot on the sand. When the director asked JK to please relax his eyes a bit, Jimin goes "just a sec" and then gently makes eye contact with JK and rubs at his neck before JK does soften and then he goes "yeah" and they get back to shooting. Like omg?? Jimin softened him right up and JK clearly loves him so much. And that just felt like SUCH a moment?! One that is so underrated.

VCR Making Film:

VCR was filmed sometime in early 2020, according to their hair colors/styles. JinKook immediately bickering and play fighting and kicking each other. Lmao as always. It's their love language. And Yoongi being so flabbergasted yet endeared by Jins craziness. Lol JK saying that he hopes that even when Jin hyung is 60 he would play around with him like that 😭🥺

During a break in the shoot, they start teasing Jimin about No More Dream MV. And then JK just says how he was at home with Jimin and Jimin brought up No More Dream so they started watching the old MV together. Lol they are just literally ALWAYS together, at home together too. 🥺

Namjoon saying his solo VCR shot is one he is thinking of as a clash of his persona and his ego from within. Jungkook saying his is a reflection of the Jung Kook inside him and the Jungkook of BTS. Taekook filming their scenes with the paint was so cute. Lol I still don't get the purpose but I enjoyed it. The staff telling JK to hold on and be still afterwards but he can't help acting really silly and ended up with a mouthful of paint anyway 😅😂 the consequences of your own actions lmfao. He then changes and moves to shoot for his My Time solo of the VCR with clocks for a "boy experiences time difference." Jimin then does his Filter solo shoot for the VCR and Yoongi isn't even there but he is still trying to pick fights 😂 "shouldn't we break things. Im better at breaking things then yoongi" Lmfao Jimin said his concept for that VCR video was about youth.

Jimin opening day 3 of VCR shooting with the film to play after they Dance to Black Swan and his solo dance. And he says he tried to portray turning into a black swan so wretchedly broken. 😭 he did. The emotions! And he is also just so beautiful and cute while shooting. Yoongi said he shot his where he was looking into his own shadow. Tae playing with the ball on his solo set and saying he wants to give it to his little cousin. 😭 V with kids hurts me, it's so precious. My heart! And the way the members all teased their eldest hyungs with the closing marks. Lmao Suga trying to make them all jump to go to the next segment and then Jin trying to do it too, but then the other 5 just kicking them out of frame like they disappeared on their own 🤣

Practice Making Film:

These days were all filmed sometime during the month of September 2020 I believe. Jikooks matching ponytails era. Lol Jungkookie giving out encouraging butt patts before practice starts 🤣 One of my favorite things about practice making films is seeing Dance Leader Hobi as well as Jimin giving up advice and suggestions. Our main dancers 😍 Lol they work so hard honestly yet still have fun! Jimin crawling on the crowd to the beat and JK smacking his ass to the beat while everyone else just stares. No one knows what they are doing either 🤣🤣

The next days practice staring off with the Boy with Luv umbrellas and Jinkook play fighting with them. "Practice starts off with more bickering between the youngest and oldest." Lol we know editors. It's their love language. Vmins smiles as they play with the umbrella. "Two people who can have the most fun with a single umbrella." Editors so cute. JK starting another day of practice off by picking up all the other members to help them stretch. Lol it was so cute. He is so strong!! Jin offering to do it for JK only to give up before even picking him up at all 🤣 Poor Jungkookie. And the way they all practice standing and jumping over the backup dancers. Lol Jimin feels so bad about it. He keeps shouting sorry! And even tried to go brush off their backs after JK stepped on them too 🤣🤣 He is such a sweetheart. JK moving Jimin away and back to his spot too lmao Its the hand on the waist 🥺 plus I love that this practice has them in full black and white feets. Literally had to toe to mask. Lol

Tae holding onto Hobi for hugs and cuddles. GOD THEY ARE SO CUTE. Jikook joining vhope all sitting together in the corner (our vhopeminkook cuddle line) and are all just playing with a go pro. Lol JK is so cute with it too, zooming into everyone's face. Then we get shots over several days of them practicing their solo stages. And God i love seeing them dance and work so hard. I'm obsessed with all of them. Plus still having fun. Hobi DYING laughing on the floor watching Maknae line perform Ego for him. Lol and then the beautiful vocals we got blessed with when Tae decides to join JK and they sing My Time together during one of his practices. Jikook play boxing together while the rappers practice Ugh. I relate. That IS the mood it creates. Vmin making up cute dances together and Joonie coping it too. Lol

They all gather again to do a full practice run through of the whole concert and they are so all looking so cute. Hobi's outfits are always so on point! 5 of them all in matching mastermind fits (2seok the only ones not in it). I believe this was at the very end of September 2020, same day Jikook posted at 4am. Maybe? Correct me if that's not right!

JinKook once again fighting as everyone else warms up. It IS their warm up I guess. Why are they all warming up by crawling around on all 4s. Lol Everyone exhausted after practicing their intense choreo and jikook just resting together so cutely. Jimin laying in JKs lap. Oof. And then joking around and untying his shoe before leaving lol

Jin and JK sprinting like crazy around the practice room because Jin was trying to take JKs ponytail out. Do those 2 never get tired?!! I love seeing that JK helped make the choreo for My Time himself too. That's honestly SO COOL. And Hobi getting SO EXCITED during Jimins filter practice. Lol Tae giggling like crazy and Hobi whooping during THAT moment. Lol and Hobi even shouting out to JK after too. Literally why 🤣 post over that here.

They really are each other's fanboys. I love it. Jin saying he is worried about having to perform after Jimin does because his was so good and everyone hyping him up. He really did perfect and shouldn't have worried at all! Tae joining in for the Ego dance with the backup dancers and continuing after to show Hobi his dance. Vhope really are so cute. 2seok joking about greeting each other with the Ego/Moon dance moves from now on too. Lol and practice continues straight into day 2 the very next day. Namjoon stretching and jikook being the embodiment of monkey see monkey do.

Jimin needing to take off his shoes super quick between Black swan and his solo Black Swan dance as the group disperses. Lol the way he throws both his shoes and socks at Tae 🤣 Tae running off the "stage" with his stuff yelling the whole time that he was supposed to give one to Namjoon too, not just him 🤣🤣 and Jimin trying not to laugh as he starts his very serious contemporary emotional dance. Lol I love them so much. AND THE WAY JIMIN PRACTICES FILTER WITH REAL PEOPLE AND NOT FAKE ONES. How did one get THAT job?! Lol the way he tried desperately to change his clothes so fast but couldn't make it. Lol the members giggles watching him try to strip so fast 😅🤣 and the way a member or two joins Hobi's Ego practices EVERY SINGLE TIME! And the film ends with Jikooks no more dream iconic lift. Except instead of running along everyone's back, JK just picks Jimin up with EASE and carries him spinning down the line. Lol their SMILES. (Gif from this moment is the very first one in the post)

🎶

And this is going to end part 2 of these posts. I'll finish up Disc 3 in part 3 covering rehearsal making film and concert d-day. Thanks for letting me share! Love these guys

troublemaker

― dancer youtubers!lee heeseung x gn!dance major!reader

sparks fly when the top two dancers on youtube collab!

genre: slow-burn fluff, s2l

wc: 3.9k (omg i'm sorry) + 2 twitter pics

warnings: probably some wrong dance terminology, slightly suggestive (the dance is just 😳), short timeskip, it's cheesy please bear with me

part of my youtuber enhypen series, the fifth upload! feel free to read on its own~ ♞──────────────────────────♞

you finish off your last move with your arms wide open, your chest heaving up and down from lack of breath. smiling nevertheless, you know you absolutely love the feeling of getting your breath taken away after dancing because you know it meant you did your best. you walk towards the camera lens and peek at the comments through your open laptop.

"did you all enjoy that?" you ask breathlessly grinning. the flooding comments are filled with compliments from your cover of nct u's boss. however, one comment, in particular, caught your eye as others seemed to reply to it.

heeseung ✔ 2s ago wow that was amazing do you wanna do a collab sometime? 😊

line break insurance you've failed me 5x already

your eyes widen as you let out a gasp. "is that the lee heeseung?" you accidentally say out loud. you wince at the realization of your mistake. the comments are both praising you for your success in getting noticed by the other top dancer on youtuber and relating to your remark.

heeseung ✔ 3s ago haha yes it's me dm me if you want to hear more about it 🤍

"oh wow... this is really cool..." you state before blinking to get you out of your stupor. "well everyone, that's going to be all for y/n's motion of dance today! thank you so much for tuning in, love you!"

you wave goodbye for a few more moments and then shut off the broadcast, closing your laptop as soon as you do. you blink twice and suddenly let out a scream.

you stop with a gasp and cover your mouth with your hands because you cannot believe you forgot that your dance studio isn't the most soundproof of places. "sorry, other dance students..." you whisper to them but more for yourself.

taking a look around your escape, your passion, you can't believe you've made it to where you are, being praised as one of the top dancers on such a vast social media platform like youtube. if anything, you guess it runs in your family, after all, you are related to choi yeonjun, who is considered 4th gen's it boy.

though people were skeptical of you at first when you came on the youtube scene as a dancer after your older brother started taking more to modeling and acting, you quickly proved them wrong by showing them your talent and bloomed from then on. of course, you can't forget to mention the person who skyrocketed just around the same time as you.

and that was the aforementioned lee heeseung. you sigh as you finish packing up your clothes and things to head back to your dorm, glancing out the window to see the sun beginning to set. it seems today was a rare early finish for you.

"i could go for a coffee... i need to finish my classics essay anyway," you mumble to yourself, throwing your bag over your shoulder before hitting the showers and changing into a more casual set of clothes. the finishing touch is a baseball cap that sits snug on your head. tightening the strap on the back and grabbing your backpack and dance bag, you finally take your leave of your beloved dance studio and return the key on the way out. fresh air meets your face, allowing you to take a whiff of the cherry blossoms that have been blooming for a month or so as you make your way to the campus café.

ding ding, the coffee shop's calm doorbell welcomes you as your nose is hit by the sweet smells of freshly ground coffee beans. "welcome!" one of the servers calls at the counter, smiling at your figure that walks closer to order. "what can i get you?"

"hi, may i have..." you scan the menu quickly for a familiar drink. "a honey cinnamon iced latte please?"

"of course, name please?"

"choi y/n," you reply.

if they recognize you, they don't make any notion of it, simply scribbling your name on the plastic cup as you make your payment. you're grateful for the normal interaction and the peacefulness of the café, especially after a surprising stream. "i'll call you when your order's ready, choi y/n-ssi," they inform you with a warm grin.

"thank you," you smile back before going to find a seat. spotting a relatively private area close by with only a pair of boys sitting at the booth, you decide to take the booth two spaces away from them. one boy, you notice, sits taller than the other, but his face is covered by a baseball cap. the other looks like a freshman, his cheeks accentuated by a pair of deep dimples.

as you take your seat, you can't help but think the boy with dimples looks rather familiar but can't seem to place your finger on it. shrugging, you simply begin preparing to write your essay by taking out your laptop and notes from your classics ge. the moment you finish is when you hear your name being called.

"choi y/n-ssi, your honey cinnamon iced latte," the server's voice calls. on your way to receive your awaiting drink, you can finally hear the voices of the two boys sitting two booths down from you.

"did your crush just say choi y/n?" the one with the hat says.

'yes, that's me,' you think to yourself nonchalantly.

"weren't you just watching their stream, heeseung hyung?" another voice says as you pick up your latte and thank the server.

wait, heeseung? as in lee heeseung? it's when you turn around with your drink in hand that you notice the two males looking straight at you. now you're able to make out the features of the boy with the cap, and there's no mistaking it.

"lee heeseung?" you mutter out loud at the same time he speaks out yours.

well, maybe that wasn't what you were expecting today, but hey, life is full of surprises, even if they are one after the other for you. after that unexpected encounter, you and heeseung acquainted yourselves, he invited you to sit with them, and now you're sitting at their table, awkwardly sipping on your latte.

"right, so should i leave?" the other boy, who you found out is studytuber and vlogger yang jungwon (which is why he looked familiar to you), blurts out. you chuckle as heeseung shakes his shoulder lightly. "what? you two clearly have to talk about something, i need to study."

"yea, yea, lover boy. make sure you say bye to your crush on the way out," the male dancer teases, causing the younger one to turn bright red.

"don't call me that, hyung," he mutters before picking up his bag and leaving the booth. sure enough, you watch as jungwon passes by the counter and erupts into a nervous mess the moment the server beams at him.

"ah... so he likes them?" you think out loud.

"yup, it's been almost four months now. i'm the reason he even knows this cafe and that server exists," heeseung mentions, making you nod courteously. he turns his attention back to you with his hand placed under his chin. "but their relationship is besides the point. let's talk about us."

"d-did you have to put it that way?" the forwardness catches you off-guard, and you suddenly have a harder time swallowing a sip of your coffee.

"sorry," he says with a teasing smile. "i just think the collab i mentioned would be good for both of us, and it'll be really fun too."

"i agree, people who like you will come to me and vice versa," you nod. "but do you know what we would be dancing to?"

"so does that mean you're in?" he asks, smile starting to grow on his face. wordlessly, you roll your eyes and hold out your hand for him to shake. that's when his full smile comes out, causing your cheeks to heat up as you think about how much more handsome it makes him look. taking your hand, heeseung shakes it with his vigorously. "alright, dance partner, we have a deal."

after much deliberation and research, the two of you finally agree on troublemaker by the duo hyuna and hyunseung. heeseung suggested this song, stating that he always wanted to do the choreo with somebody and that it's destiny that both males have a name that starts with h and ends with seung. quite frankly, it's not like you could find much anyway, besides some cool music bank mc stages, it is cool that troublemaker was originally an opposite-gender duo in the korean entertainment industry.

the choreography however is an entirely different story. at many points, hyuna's body is touched by hyunseung and vice versa, but if they can do it and stay professional, then you believe you can too. besides, dancing will always be just dancing. heeseung also assures you that if you want, the two of you can just have your hands hovering, which makes you feel relieved to have an understanding partner.

hours pass by, and you and heeseung decide to meet at your usual dance studio daily after all your classes, which wasn't hard because he also frequented the same one.

"i still can't believe we attend the same university," you say aloud as the both of you pack up your laptops and supplies.

"i know right, you would think one of us would recognize the dance studio we go to 24/7, right?" he laughs. "although, i've seen you use a different one sometimes."

"do you really watch my covers and streams often?" you ask baffled. he and you wave the workers goodbye and make your way to the brisk evening air waiting outside as the staff sends you off.

"i do, is that so hard to believe?"

"a little," you reply sheepishly.

"well, let me walk you to your dorm and prove to you how much of a choi y/n stan i am," he boasts, and you let yourself laugh freely as you walk beside him to your destination.

it's strange, knowing a famous youtuber you watched also knew and followed you, but then again, you're not exactly nobody either. when heeseung drops you off, he admits that he actually lives a few floors above you and that you two can walk home together after each rehearsal. it's even stranger, knowing a famous youtuber literally has been on your campus, in the same dorm building as you, and this whole time, the two of you have both been clueless as to the other's existence as an ordinary college student.

speaking of which, he can't be a dance major, right? otherwise, you would've already seen him! these thoughts keep you tossing and turning to the point you don't register when you fell asleep. when you wake up, you feel as if you didn't get any sleep at all, but get up and ready nevertheless, going through another regular day as a dance major.

by the time your classes are over, you walk out of the studio yawning about to stop by your dorm to freshen up and maybe fit in a nap. you're holding a hand over your mouth mid-yawn when a voice starts talking to you.

"good thing i stopped by to get coffee." you open your eyes and close your mouth to see lee heeseung holding two cups of coffee. he's dressed in an oversized white shirt and grey sweatpants, a common dance practice outfit, so why is your heart skipping so many beats. "yo, choi y/n."

"heeseung," you say, still shocked. he hands you the coffee, which is actually the same flavor you got yesterday. "thanks."

"no problem," he replies coolly. "maybe we should take a break before we get to it?"

"i'll be fine, how about we can start watching the choreo?"

"they're always ready to dance," he nods with an impressed smile. "as expected of a dance major."

the two of you walk inside and book a studio for a few hours as you raise an eyebrow at him. "wait, what major are you?"

"music production."

"that makes so much sense!" you say relieved, stepping into the studio room for the umpteenth time. "i was racking my brains wondering what major you were."

"so the famous choi y/n is curious about me?" he smirks. you groan and facepalm in response. "i'm kidding, i'm kidding. let's watch the video on my tablet?"

nodding, the two of you watch carefully, eyes glued to the screen at your respective roles. you hold your breath at some touchy parts but also notice that both idols were able to shine in their solos.

"a few tweaks here and there, and it'll be perfect," heeseung comments once the video is over. "but let's go over some boundaries, yeah? let me know what you're comfortable with and what you're not."

"right," you agree, once again relieved to have such a safe and understanding partner like him. "well, i think i'm okay with you touching my arms, shoulders, and hips like hyunseung did to hyuna. i just need some time to get used to it."

"alright, that sounds good," he says nodding with a hand under his chin. "then for today, i'll just hover my hands over the places they need to be."

"what a gentleman," you tease.

he rolls his eyes playfully at you. "let's start marking."

and so that's what the two of you start on. with the video on the tablet, you go through the motions with the speed lowered, eventually picking up more moves until you're able to follow at the normal speed. as expected of the top two dancers on youtube, the two of you are quick on observing and learning the dance and get done with basic marking within 20 minutes or so.

after marking, you take a quick water break to watch the video again in full detail, officially beginning your first real practice. as promised, throughout the entirety of marking, heeseung has kept his hands to himself, but you've become comfortable enough to have him do a little more.

before you start practicing for real, you decide to speak with him. "hee," you call him as he puts down his water bottle.

"hm?" he confirms that you have his attention, looking up with his large doe-like eyes while wiping his mouth off from some excess water.

"uhm.." you fidget with your top a little before mustering up some courage. "you can do light touches now for the choreo."

"really? are you sure?" you nod at his question, causing him to come up to you and ruffle your hair lightly. you bat his hands away with a pout, smoothing out the mess he made as he laughs at you. "that's great, y/n," he says with a bright smile, unknowingly making your heart beat a little faster as you nod again. in your head, you rush to cover up the physical reaction with an excuse that it's just from the amount of exercise you've done.

the two of you stand in front of the mirror, ready to go. before the music starts, heeseung turns to you and says, "just let me know if i make you uncomfortable at all."

"i'll be fine," you reassure him with a small smile. that's when the song begins, and the sparks start to fly. every move flowed like water, yet every touch between the two of you was like electricity as if the two elements were working together instead of fighting. even though the touches are light, they still put chills up your spine, in a way that you can only describe with the phrase "meant to happen."

was fate moving its course to put this match together, or were you imagining it? you're not sure, but you grin while catching your breath once the first practice is over. falling to the floor softly, you sit with your hands splayed behind you and let out a relieved sigh. "ahh... dancing is so... great!"

heeseung chuckles at your reaction and offers a hand to get you up. "i'm glad you think that because we got a lot more practice ahead of us, partner."

"yup!" you say with a widening smile. the moment you took his hand, you felt an electric jolt that almost made you let go. getting up, you shake it off and barely catch the expression on your dance partner's face. "is something the matter?"

he blinks a bit before he's shaking his head with that charming smirk of his. "nope! let's practice!"

practice, practice, practice. that's how the next few hours go. and just like the day before, heeseung walks you to your dorm building, this time the conversation about how excited the two of you are for the recording.

that's basically how the next four or so days go, now that heeseung came into your life. your daily routine of wake up, eat, class, dance, repeat was shaken by him, because now he was a part of it. it's an indescribable feeling, hanging out with him. the best word, or phrase actually, is the same one you used while dancing with him: meant to be.

so when you finally get to the day of recording, you almost don't want it to end. at least, that's what you're telling your best friend and makeup artist, kim sunoo.

"friend, you're telling me that you and this guy have been following along to..." he tells you to look up as he curls your eyelashes. "a dance like that for four days and you've been getting shocks this whole time?"

"i mean, yeah?"

"y/n, i love you, but you're missing a little something, aren't you?"

"wha-!?"

"pucker up, sweetie, we're making your lips look kissable," sunoo commands. you do an eye-roll but do as he says. "if you don't ask him out or do something by the end of this, you can at least kiss your best shot at a boyfriend goodbye with luscious lips."

he finishes applying the color and asks you to rub your lips together and make that pop sound. "perfect," your best friend compliments. "go out there and get your mans."

"thank you, sunoo!" you say, gazing at your reflection in the mirror and loving the way he accentuated your features. "by the way, you're all talk. you should ask your celebrity crush out when they appear on your channel."

"i'll get there when i get there!" he whines and starts pushing you out of his dorm room. "just go get 'em, tiger."

with that, you make your way to the dance studio where heeseung is waiting for you, dressed in hyunseung's iconic suit with the leopard-patterned blazer. your heart quickens, seeing how much more handsome he looks dressed up, hair slicked back and some makeup done. he looks up upon hearing the door open and his mouth slightly hangs open as well.

the both of you are silent as you approach him, in your equally bedazzling outfit, sheer to mimic hyuna's stage dress. "you look amazing," the two of you say at the same time. stunned at the simultaneous sentence, you two immediately start guffawing at how this was unlike your usual interactions.

"that was so awkward!" you blurt out, unable to contain your laughter.

"yea, not like us at all," he admits while he wipes a stray tear from laughing too hard away. smiling at each other, you admire the way his eyes reflect your image and sparkle. "you ready to get this show on the road."

"ready as i'll ever be." the two of you get into your positions on the opposite ends of the room, and heeseung starts the camera and the music soon after. you take each step slowly to meet him in the middle as he takes your hand and brings it up to his lips to give it a kiss while smirking. you keep your face professional as the two of you take a few steps forward, the back of his fingers curled over the front of yours.

starting back-to-back, you walk forward a bit before the beat drops and heeseung's part begins. you're on autopilot as you dance your fingers from his chest to his shoulders, and then the chorus comes. hips swaying, you're able to feel his hands' light taps on your body as the two of you lose yourself to the music you've danced to hundreds of times this week.

then, it's your killing part as you lipsync hyuna's rap and take bold steps around heeseung's body, ending up behind him to bring your hands over his shoulders and make a scratching movement across his chest. you step towards his side, do your thing, and walk away as if playing hard to get.

you wait for his part during the bridge and make a side glance towards him before moving towards him and performing the hip-heavy part of the chorus together. your partner moves his face up along your arm, taking it in like you're a statue. you then act like you brush him away when heeseung gets close enough. after this second chorus, you're leaving him to do his big solo, watching carefully as he makes his every move precise and crisp yet flow well.

it's the last chorus now, and this time, you can't take your eyes off each other as you finally face one another. you stay drowning in his shades of brown without a single misstep until you have to walk away from him. you wait for him to come towards you, back slightly turned away as he jaunts forward, making his way to be captured by your hand behind his neck.

the last breath of the song is the one where you're supposed to turn your head away as his own chases yours, but this time, you brave forward and lean in close. the music fades away, but all you hear is his breathing, feeling it against your own.

you stay like this, ensnared in each other's arms, forgetting about everything except the person wrapped close to you as you feel his every breath against your lips and every inhale and exhale under your hand. he searches your eyes, looking for some kind of sign. "do you mind if i—"

that was all you needed before you're pressing your lips against his. it only takes seconds for him to kiss you back, moving his hands from their previous position on your hips to hold your face. becoming breathless from dancing was one thing, becoming breathless from kissing heeseung was another thing entirely, it was in a league of its own you note as you pull away and rest your forehead on his.

"we'll have to edit that out," you say after what seemed like ages of taking each other in while chuckling.

"i have a better idea than editing."

"oh, and what's that, handsome?"

"look at you getting all bold, troublemaker," heeseung replies with that smile of his. he shakes his head, moving away from you and taking your hand in his. "how about we go on our first official date as youtube's top dancer couple?"

"that does sound like a better idea," you agree, your own smile widening.

[An unexpected encounter - prologue.] we'll meet again [a multi-chapter kazuha fanfic]

pairings: kazuha x gn!reader

warnings (for this chapter): i mean there's a tiny bit of angst if you squint really hard... (if there's any more warnings i should add, please let me know!)

note: i can't believe i'm actually starting this fanfic series!! anyways enjoy the fanfic~

it was that dream again.

that one where you felt yourself calling for someone, a name that you couldn't quite remember but knew you held dear.

and that voice... their long white hair, with that sudden streak of red flowing as they ran, calling your name, over and over, each time more desperate, as you woke up to your alarm clock.

*beep beep! beep beep!*

you smashed your clock, not wanting to deal with it as of now. you couldn't shake the feeling of lonely sadness, even if you just woke up from a good nights sleep. even if you've had this dream before.

you shook your head and got ready for your first day of school. when you were riding your bike to school, the sun was shining, and the cherry blossoms on the trees were in full bloom. you couldn't help but think, will i meet them today?

you went to your class- class B-2. you sat down in a chair close to the back, unpacked your books and watched as everyone else in the classroom was talking with their old friends before class started. you looked, until you decided to look outside the window- you were next to it, after all. and then something- no, someone- bumped into your desk.

"excuse me! apologies for bumping into your desk..." you heard a voice call out. you looked up, and there he was. the boy from you dreams, with the same red streak in an otherwise white crop of hair. the same smooth voice, although not as desperate sounding, asking for an apology. "i promise, it won't happen again!"

"it's fine..." you replied, getting lost in his eyes, so dazzling, beautiful and shocking at the same time. ah... i shouldn't be staring. it's rude to stare, after all... you reprimanded yourself.

when you looked back up, she saw the face that was once focused on apologizing, now looking at you, curiously. "ah... whats your name?" he asked.

"it's y/n. what about you? what should i call you?"

"my name's kaedehara kazuha, but you can just call me kazuha. pleasure to meet you, y/n... i look forward to being your classmate this year" he replied, extending his hand out to shake yours.

you looked at him, his smiling face, the hand that he extended forward. you smiled, taking his hand. "likewise!" you said cheerfully. his warm hands holding yours, you shook.

"class! pay attention..." your teacher called out as they walked in.

"hey. talk to you later, y/n!" kazuha replied with a quick smile before taking a seat in front of you.

when kazuha finally turned away, he looked down at the haiku he'd written this very morning, right before he left his home to come to school.

solitary cloud,

shadow in the setting sun,

stirs the drifter's heart

when he finished rereading it, he couldn't help but wonder: are they the one who's stirred my heart?

end note: thank you for reading the prologue to we'll meet again! I hope you'll stick around for the rest of the fanfic! i'll keep trying to write more for this series ;D

Yes, sir! | Niki Lauda

Professor Lauda AU! 👨‍🏫

Gender neutral reader

Dedicated to @lieutenantn and @scuttle-buttle

[Previous chapter] - [Next chapter]

Part 5

Two months have passed already. Between languages and literature, you have had a lot on your plate. It was surprising just how quickly work loads built up on you from your classes.

But the thing that stood out the most was that your silly little crush, well, it hadn't gone away. In fact, it had grown into something more than a little crush.

Professor Niki Lauda was on your mind constantly.

He really wasn't helping either. You had begin to wonder if Katie had been right about him. Lauda would smile at you as you entered his class. He would praise your work whenever he set an assignment. He would help you with pronunciation.

You never saw him praise anyone else like he did you, and you wondered how much he helped everyone else.

Were you really his top student?

It certainly seemed like it.

You hadn't told Michael and Katie about his attention toward you. They would only tease you on the matter.

You couldn't help that you liked him.

Professor Lauda was your favourite professor, but it wasn't just because of his lessons.

The weekend was approaching. You had a test to do for Lauda before you had the weekend to yourself. You were planning to go into town and see what's happening over there, enjoy yourself a little.

You entered the classroom and sat down in your usual spot. Lauda smiled at you briefly as you sat down. You smiled back.

As usual with your classes with him, you sit and you listen. You listen intensely. You take notes. Professor Lauda hands out some paperwork that may help.

"Study over the weekend, you will have a test next week when you come back," he informs you all.

You sighed softly. Maybe you could still go out this weekend and study later. You would definitely study hard. Professor Barnes hasn't assigned anything for over the weekend, so you would only have to focus on this class.

"Class dismissed."

Students got up and made their way out. You hung back to make a few final notes while Professor Lauda organised his desk. He had noticed you hadn't left just yet, but didn't say anything.

It was only when you rose from your seat and grabbed your bad when he spoke up.

"Good work today."

You stop and look up at him.

"Thank you. I've been studying all the work you gave us."

He nods.

"You should be proud of your progress these past couple of months."

"I am. I have a good teacher." A sexy one too.

He gives a little chuckle.

"Danke. Off you go, enjoy your weekend."

"You too, sir."

He watches you go. He did this sometimes, talk to you after class. Mostly it was just praising you for your work. He just wanted a few extra moments with you.

He would then scold himself for allowing it to happen.

If you had any idea how he was feeling, you would drop off this course so fast. Heck, he would probably lose his job too.

He sighs and grabs his things.

He would settle for being your Professor until you graduated.

You meet up with Michael and Katie. They wave as you approach them, smiling happily.

"Plans for the weekend?" Michael asks.

"I am hoping I can go into town before I sit and study for my test next week," you say, walking in perfect sync with each other.

"Good! There's a car rally in town, want to go see it?"

"A car rally?"

"Yeah. Basically a small race through town, plus we can look at some old classic cars that people bring to show off," Katie explains, going through her playlist on her phone.

"Sounds good to me."

"Great, I'll come get you in the morning, we can head out early and see the race," Michael smiles.

You agree and split ways with them as you leave the university.

You decide to get some studying in before bed, but not an all nighter. You wanted to be awake for the rally tomorrow.

You wake early. You get dressed and meet Michael outside. Katie is waiting in the car.

He parks as close to the event as he can and you all climb out. Michael knows his way around easily, so he knows exactly where to take you for the best view. Up on a hilltop near the closed road where you would get to see the cars drive by and around the corner.

You all sit down.

"This looks amazing," you say.

"Can't believe you have lived here all this time and never come to this," Michael shakes his head at you.

"I suppose it never interested me before."

"Yeah, before Professor Lauda," Katie chimes in.

You glare at her, but it didn't have much impact on her. She just chuckled.

"Oh yeah, he likes racing. He's probably here," Michael hums softly.

"He is," Katie says.

You look at her with a surprised look upon your face. She grins as she nods further down the hill. You turn and spot a familiar head of curls in view.

"Oh look, you're right," Michael chuckles.

You nibble at your bottom lip.

Of course he would be here. He likes cars. He likes racing. This is probably the best he could do right now. You assumed he would prefer the big races like Formula 1.

You can't seem to look away from him.

Katie and Michael share a look. They know you all too well.

An announcement too distant to hear clearly from where you where declares the start if the race.

You suddenly have lost interest in the event. Your Professor is here and he looks really good...

As he turns his head to look up the road, you get a glimpse of his side profile.

Oh, to run your fingers through his hair, to kiss those lips, to be close to him.

Katie gives you a nudge.

"Stop ogling your Professor. The cars are coming our way!"

You look up and see the vehicles whiz around the corner. For a rally it was quite good. A dozen cars flew by, zooming around the corner. This was just the first lot.

Your eyes, however, trial back your Professor, only you find those dark eyes of his gazing back.

He's caught you.

You stare. It's all you can do.

You can just about make out his lips twitching into a smile, but he turns back around before you can actually see it properly.

Katie smiles at you.

"If you wanted to ditch us and go say hello, you can," she tells you.

"No, I'm good."

She doesn't believe you, but she doesn't push the matter any more either.

You tear your gaze away from him, no matter how much you just wanted to admire him. You came for the race, so you'll watch it.

Niki, however, was grinning to himself as his eyes watched the track.

You looked good sitting up on the hill behind him. Much more natural and relaxed as opposed to when in class.

He was surprised to see you here. There was a joy blooming in knowing you may share an interest with him.

He needed to stop thinking about you, but his could he?

Maybe, just maybe, he could get a chance to talk to you. Outside of the classroom. Somewhere no one knows his is your Professor.

He just wants to talk to you. So he believed.

I'm gifting @little-lightning-lavellan @noire-pandora and @dungeons-and-dragon-age with a free WIP Whenever ticket 🎫 (but only if you want to 💖)

Lemonade under the cut. 👀

Pls don't judge me too hard if it is shitty, it's still unedited :'D

Contains: Feels, praise, ropes, unorthodox use of magic, good ol' smut

[...] The dying sunlight trickled into their chambers by the time Elizabeth finished the last of knots, and the moment she pulled back to admire the work, her breath caught. His freckled skin was painted in spots of saturated gold from the sun, and streaks of crimson from where the light hit the silky strings binding the wrists over his head.

“Gorgeous.” she exhales, tracing the knotwork covering his forearms, before cupping his face in both hands to press a kiss to the forehead “That’s what you are, ma’fen. Gorgeous.”

“Thank you, but I carry only the beauty your eyes give me, vhenan.” Solas answers, heat spreading over his cheeks at the heartfelt compliment.

Sitting on the edge of the bed, Elizabeth takes her sweet time admiring her handiwork, pleased at the aesthetic of the result. The rope was a stark contrast against pale skin, and the simple but elegant knots and shiny silk looked like red vines around his limbs. Laying over the black sheets, he looked nothing short of a piece of art set up for her sole appreciation.

Knowledge that he’d willingly lay there -vulnerable- for as long as she wished, eager to please in any way she considered fair? Having such power over a man such as him could be intoxicating, she thought, goosebumps breaking over her skin.

Solas fought to keep his breath steady while Elizabeth watched, but it was a losing battle. The dying light caught in the eyes he loved so much, turning hazel into embers. And they seared his body like a physical touch, nearly burning away what little fabric covered his flushed skin.

Biting back a discontent whimper when she turned away, he grieved the loss of her attention. He squirmed then, moving over the dark sheets, thighs spread as far as the bindings allowed, back arched and eyes pleading a shameless request:

Look at me.

His eyes follow her deliberated movements around the room. The curtains are pulled closed, warding off the cold that the fire under his skin didn’t let his body register. The appreciative look he gets when she whirls around is like a breath of fresh air. Then she’s at the nightstands, lighting candles even when both could see well enough in the dark. But ‘well enough’ would not fit this night, would it?

The swaying hips pull his eyes like a magnet as she walks to the door and his heart skips a beat. Please don’t make me wait, I need you. But the powerful surge of mana filling the air makes it race for a whole other reason when he catches a familiar pattern being etched over the door. A silence glyph. Oh.

Glyph activated, she turns around to face the bed.

Dark, primal satisfaction blooms deep in her chest at the sight of her bound lover. Cheeks flushed, hooded eyes, heavy breathing and completely spread thighs glistening from his leaking arousal are an offer she can’t find it in herself to deny.

Beautiful.

The inferno raging in her veins spurs her to move, having enough of looking. Dress discarded to the floor, she stalks to the bed, chuckling low when the view of her bare body snaps his control. A blue stream of elvish fills the air in between deep breaths while he tries to call back the thin layer of frost covering the red binding his wrists. No indomitable focus, vhenan?

Solas watches with bated breath as she stalks over him, her favored form bleeding on the fluidity of her movements, like the huntress ready to pounce on prey. In any other situation, he might have laughed and teased at the irony of playing halla to her wolf. But the blazing eyes and the thrill of the hunted bewitched him, no words of humor coming out of his mouth.

And when she settles over him, her thick thighs caging his hips and slick center pressing right over where he needs the most, his frayed thread of control finally snaps. Every rational thought drowns under a wave of need and he tugs at the bindings, the urge to touch and thrust overriding her command to stay still.

At the outburst she kneels and holds him down by the hips with her hands, cutting short the desperate rutting threatening to take over him. Maybe she did tease him too much this time around, the poor pup. But stopping anytime soon was not on the plans.

The dawn was still ages away, after all.

Deciding to leave his weeping cock alone for now, his thighs are straddled instead. Tracing the pointed ear tip rewards her with a needy growl from her lover, and she smirks, repeating the motion, reveling in the shudder of his body. He nuzzles her palm when she caresses his flushed cheek, and her smirk melts into something softer. The fire in her veins gentling to a soft warmth in a wave of pure affection that fills her chest to the point she fears it might burst.

She opens her side of their connection and he gasps before mirroring the action. The meeting of lips is soft and intense as the bond swirls inside them in a dance, intense and wild like a winter storm. She is the first to pull away from the kiss and close the connection, keeping their foreheads connected while they catch their breaths.

“Ar lath ma, vhenan.” she whispers, kissing his forehead once, twice, before resuming her hand’s journey.

He tilts the head when her hand trails down his face and she accepts the offer, grabbing his jaw between two fingers, the rest covering the side of his neck. She squeezes lightly, humming in satisfaction when more than just his pulse jumps and throbs under her touch, reacting to the pressing of nails on the vulnerable skin.

Small chains of lightning charge palm when she runs it down his body, and she can’t help but watch in a trance to the impromptu display of elvhen flexibility. Solas’ torso arches off the sheets in a chase for her touch, but his hips barely shift on the mattress, locked between her muscular thighs. Her mind races with all the ways she could enjoy this newfound talent, but a chocked moan brings her back to the moment.

Solas is squeezing his eye, lip caught between his teeth, a face of total concentration as he fights to stay still while her lightning teases his throbbing cock, the head shiny, dark and sensitive, weeping a mess every time a spark brushes against it.

“Ah ah ah.” she tuts, her thumb tugging his lip free from his teeth “No hiding your voice, ma’fen. Let me hear you sing.” a spark running straight to his sac on her last word, lifting his hips out of the bed.

“VHENAN, PLEASE!-”[...]

*takes a big sip of holy water*

4am

Here have some random smut I wrote since I woke up and couldnt sleep.

WARNINGS: NSFW, 18+ AU/Adult AU, midnight snack (oral) work intended for 18+ audience.

"Can't sleep baby?" His voice is deep from sleep, large hand spread across your stomach. You watch him blink lazily in the lowlight of your phone. 

"No, not really." You return your eyes to the illuminated glass continuing the 12th chapter of this fanfiction you find. Hoping all of this reading would tire your eyes enough that'd you actually fall asleep. And it half way worked, your eyes burned from overuse but anytime that you closed them they would snap right open again. 

The red head beside you yawns, worried as this is the fifth time this week you've been up so late into the night. It's as if you're wound too tightly, a coil ready to snap at any given moment. He's unsure why you are so rigid but he cannot deny the tension he feels in your stomach. Or the way you clench your jaw, teeth threatening to grind even as you lie awake. 

He props up onto his side, before kneeling beside you, strong hands taking your phone and locking it as he pulls over your muscles. 

Kneading them like dough, stretching and pulling until the tension slowly begins to leave through your fingertips. 

"What are you doing?" Your voice is soft as he moves between your legs to access your other arm. 

"Helping you." Is his simple answer, ruby eyes weighed down with sleep and a mixture of something else. 

He rolls his fist across the top of your thick thigh, fingers digging into the plush underside of your calves over and and over until finally you become a little loose. His sharp teeth gleam in the moonlight as his lips turn upward. He knows just the thing that will ease you into a good night's sleep. 

Suddenly your legs are yanked apart and pushed back, his quirk slightly activated as his sharp fingers press into the skin beneath your knees. 

"Wh...what are you do…" 

"Quiet." His voice is harsher in the darkness, a predator before his meal, "No more talking, baby girl." 

He slowly kisses down the inside of your legs, lips lazily dragging against your inner thigh alternated with gentle nibbles. Your core grows wetter as he inches closer to your clothed sex. 

A harsh bite allows a gasp to leave your lips, rubies glisten your way before returning to the task at hand. 

A chaste kiss is placed upon your laced covered mound before his sharp rocky finger slips beneath the thin cloth, pulling towards him and shredding it free. 

A wolfish grin appears on his mouth as he licks his lips, groaning a bit. His thumbs soft as they pull apart your outer labia to watch you begin to ooze.  You smell delicious and he knows you'll taste just as heavenly. 

He messages your hamstrings, going back to work on your inner thighs, not satisfied just yet. 

He wants you throbbing, clenching desperately at nothing before he dips his tongue into you. 

It doesn't take long as he runs his tongue agonizingly slow up and down your inner thigh as you mewl beneath his touch. 

"P..please..."

Finally he comes closer, huffing over your sex to watch your core clench a few times. He smiles, dragging his tongue over your puffy clit. Instinctively your thighs tighten, trying to close causing Kirishima to growl. 

Rough from sleep and arousal he repositions you, hooking his arms beneath your legs and yanking them open. Activating his quirk so his rough digits dig into your bruised and bitten thighs to keep them apart. 

"You're going to let me enjoy my dessert Princess." He nips your thigh for good measure causing you to cry out.  He dips his tongue into your center, slowly diving in and out before a full on thrust. Lapping at your juices as his nose nudges your clit. Moans echo around the room as you fist his red hair, raking your nails across his scalp as he makes a meal of you. 

Slowly the tension in your stomach builds, with each thrust and swirl of his tongue you're climbing higher. He removes his tongue from your center and replaces it with two digits as his mouth wraps neatly around your needy clit. He sucks harshly, arching his fingers so they slide across that spongy spot with each deep thrust. 

You're trying to buck your hips to meet him but he presses down on your stomach to keep you in place, the lewd sounds of your pussy and his sucking echo around the darkened room.

"I...I'm cl..oh...close." 

"Do you wanna cum, little one?" His fingers still slamming into you at a steady pace, you nod moaning loudly as you fist the sheets, his hair, anything to get a grip before your world shatters. He keeps the pressure on your stomach, teasingly breathing over your sensitive bud. 

"Then all you have to do is ask babygirl." 

"D...daddy please...please let me cum."

"Then cum hard on my face Princess." He answers before going back to sucking on your clit. You see stars as your body snaps, quaking beneath his rough touch, clenching into his fingers that you pull right back in. 

He keeps up the pace, alternating between lightly tonguing and sucking on your abused clit rocking your through your next orgasm. 

He keeps up the quickening and slowing pace bringing you high on several occasions for what feels like hours. All with the same goal in mind he has everytime he eats you out. 

"Ah so tight for me baby." He kisses your thigh, "Is your pretty pussy gonna squirt all over Daddy's face?" 

His voice is a purr and growl all in one and it's enough to send you over the edge now. Body shaking again as it builds up to another crescendo. 

"Yes! Yes! Yes Daddy!" Is all you can cry out, his tongue flicking and sucking your overstimulated clit, your cunt clenching around his fingers as his pressure on your stomach increases. Pushing the coil tighter until it snaps. 

You moan so high and so loudly no sound comes out for a moment as your body bucks against him. A clear liquid pulsing out of you onto Kirishima's face, he prolongs it by removing his hand from your abdomen and pressing roughly against your clit, another wave has you trembling, arching your back away from the soaked bed. He slows his pace of his fingers, before slowly pulling out of your pulsing cunt. Bringing his soaked middle and ring to his mouth, keeping his eyes on you as he sucks the juices from them. You whimper beneath his hungry gaze. 

"Such a good girl." He coos, adjusting your limp body. Drinking in your flushed features and skin, your breasts heaving with each pull if breath and how your body is just so limp. He palms himself as he spies little tears creeping in the corners of your eyes as you've fully ascended into subspace. 

He sheds his boxers, revealing his lengthy weeping cock. He spreads his precum along his shaft with a lazy pump.

"Can you be a good girl a bit longer Princess? Will you let Daddy use that pretty little cunt?" You nod in response as he adjusts you, pushing your legs closer to your chest, aligning himself at your entrance. Your eyes half mast in lust and exhaustion causing a smirk to spread across his handsome features. He sheaths himself in one thrust as you both moan over the sensation. 

Your throbbing cunt grabbing onto him, still quivering from your recent climax. 

"Fuck babygirl. You're so tight." He groans, struggling to get a hold of himself. Setting an uncharacteristic rough pace from the get go. Maybe it was the sleep induced lust or maybe it was the way your eyes seemed to scream destroy me. 

And Kirishima always gave his Princess what she wanted. 

He pounds into you with all of his weight, rocking your body and causing the head board to slam against the wall without a cere. All of his focus is on you, your fucked out face, mouth shaped into a permanent O while your eyes roll into the back of your head, tears slowly leaking from your eyes, panting and weakly screaming for more even as he gives you all that he has. 

And your cunt, grabbing onto him, pulling him deeper with each harsh thrust has him groaning, bruises bloom beneath his fingertips on your legs as his thrusts begin to turn sloppy. The head of his thick cock dragging against your spongy spot once more. 

"D...daddy I'm gonna I'm…!" You pant unable to form anything coherent as you focus on the blinding pleasure. 

"Use your words Princess." You can hear the strain in his voice and feel the twitch of his dick causing you to moan. 

"Fuck I'm gonna…" But before you can finish the sentence your body convulses beneath his large frame, squirting onto his abdomen and pelvis clamping down on his cock like a vice. 

Kirishima can't hold it much longer, especially not when you make that face. 

"Fuck." He hisses, hips stuttering as he holds you with a crushing grip, eyes fluttering as his hot seed fills you in bursts. He buries himself deeper with each lazy thrust, even as his dick slowly becomes flaccid. Rocking himself and you through the last of your lingering orgasm. He dismounts, slowly bringing your legs away from your chest before lying next to you.  

Pulling you into his chest, wrapping strong shaky arms around you. 

"You okay babygirl?" But you never answer, having fallen asleep the second you got settled. Your body limp beside his as his fingers trace lazy circles on your sweaty skin. 

He smiles, kissing your hairline more than happy to help you get a good nights sleep.

This is my gift for my fellow ___ for a discord gift event! Hope you enjoy it!!

Akane Aoi x Hikari Minamoto:

STUPID CUPID

For all his life, Akane Aoi found himself struggling. He struggled to gain the love of his childhood bestfriend, struggled in his balancing order between his life and responsibilities as vice-president of the student council and keeping his duties as School Mystery No. 1. As his first year of high school started, he thought that he had it all in check, until he met her. Hikari Minamoto. Their meeting was by chance, he bumped into her while she was walking out of the student council room. She quickly bowed, spewed out an apology and ran off before he could blink. At first he thought she was a brave fan of Teru's who came to bother him, but the thought was quickly crossed off his mind as Teru explained who the girl was.

"That was my little sister. She was just dropping me off my lunch that I forgot. Usually it's Kou, but he's busy with his own mission." Akane nodded, busying himself by filing some papers, sweating under Teru's intensive stare. After finishing his filing, Akane nodded at Teru before heading to the door.

"Aoi." His sharp voice made Akane stop.

"Please be good to my siblings, if you ever see them around."

"I will, President Minamoto." The redhead silently cursed the president in his mind.

It wasn't until a week later that Hikari and Akane made contact once again.

"Ao-chan! I'd like you to meet someone! She's interested in joining the Gardening club!" Nene pulled a familiar blonde in front of Aio's desk, one thing Akane noticed was that she was wearing a middle school uniform.

"P-pleased to meet your acquaintance! I'm Hikari M-Minamoto, a third year in t-the middle school division and I'd like to join the club, as Senpai just explained!" Her voiced was rather meek and she had a rather heavy blush on her cheeks. Aoi, who Akane was standing next to, clasped her hands excitedly, sparkles bloomed as she cutely titled her head and smiled.

"That's great to hear, Minamoto-san! I'm Aoi Akane, thank you for showing interest in the club! We really need new members!" Hikari rubbed her arm and gazed at the ground.

"Y-You can call me by my first name... I don't mind. It's just... it's just that I don't want any unwanted confusion or attention, so..." She trailed off, her eyes swirling with embarrassment.

"I see, then you can call me Ao-chan, Hikari-chan!" Akane tensed, pushing up his glasses.

"... to think she's already in nickname basis with Ao-chan..." His mutterings grabbed the girl's attention.

"Is something wrong, Akane-kun?" Aoi asked sweetly, to which Akane shook his head.

I must stay poised and collected in front of President Minamoto's siblings or I won't hear the end of it from him...

Akane respectfully bowed towards Hikari.

"Pleasure to meet you, Minamoto-kohai. I'm Akane Aoi, if you don't know, I work with President Minamoto. " Hikari immediately bowed in respect, hitting her forehead on the top of the desk.

"I'm incredibly sorry for bumping into you last week, Aoi-Senpai, I didn't even formally apologize! I'm so, so sorry! Please let me make it up to you in some way or another!" The first years jumped, not expecting the sudden outbursts.

"Minamoto-kohai! It's quite alright-"

"Uwah! Hikari-chan are you alright?!" Nene had her hand up to her mouth in horror. The young girl, straightened up, showing a rather painful bruise of her forehead. Tears were welling up in the corner of her eyes.

"I-I'm fine, Senpai!"

"But-but you're crying!" Hikari covered her face and turned away.

"It's just that... I'm so embarrassed! I made a fool of myself in front of the upperclassmen!" Aoi patted the younger girls sibling in the back rather comforting.

"It's okay, Hikari-chan! You were just nervous, but for now, let's take you to the nurses office and check the bruise out."

"A-Ah! It's fine, Ao-Senpai! I'm, I'm used to worse, so this is nothing!" Aoi's and Nene's face visibly darkened with worry.

"W-worse?"

"A-Anyways, umm... about the club..." Face brightening, Aoi picked up her bag.

"If you don't mind, we can introduce you to the gardens! You can see what type of plants you want to take care of and you can meet the others as well, but first we have to change out of uniforms so they don't get dirty! Did you have an extra set of clothes?" Hikari lifted her bag and nodded, gaining approval from Aoi.

"Then, let's get moving! See ya, Akane-kun!" Akane watched the girls leave before making his way down the garden, hiding in his usual spot where he was able to watch what was going on. It took a few minutes before the girls came outside. Aoi was wearing her cute white sunhat, a pink tshirt and discolored shorts. Akane watched the new member with eyes of a hawk. She was wearing a white long sleeved shirt, black track pants, and her hair was pulled into a ponytail, allowing a purple good-luck amulet piercing in her left ear. It looked rather delinquent-like on her, which as far as Akane could tell, was not much her style. Aoi left and Nene walked with Hikari, touring her around, and stopping in front of Akane.

"And this is the decorative plants we take care of..." Nene trailed of, seeing the horrified expression of her junior, looking at the bush and letting out a terrified yelp.

"A-Akane-kun?! What are you doing?!" Akane's face was popping out of the plant, his glasses hid his eyes, but he was smiling.

"Oh, Nene-san, I'm just watching over Ao-chan, that's all!" Nene nodded, pulling Hikari close.

"Forgive him, Hikari-chan! He has a condition!" Before an answer escaped her mouth, Hikari tensed and turned, feeling dread.

This feeling... is it an apparition? Not to mention, didn't Ao-senpai head over there!?

"Eh, Hikari-chan, everything alright?" Nene's question was answered with a familiar shriek, causing the trios eyes to widen.

"Ao-chan/Ao-senpai!"

Hikari was the one who ran first, the other following close behind. They reached the toolshed and Hikari held her hand, stopping the others.

If it's an apparition, my upperclassmen will be in danger!

"I-I will go in there, you guys stay here! I'll go check and see!" Nene and Akane couldn't stop her as she dashed inside the tool shed. Stepping inside, Hikari felt the presence of a spirit, but she spotted Aoi first and kneeled next to her. It seemed that she was just passed out, the shards of a broken pot, probably dropped in surprise, thankfully didn't reach the older girl. Hikari focused her attention on the corner across from her, where the dark aura came from. A shivering child was huddled in the corner, its arms around its legs and head buried between its knees.

"I don't know what past you've lived, but that gives you no right to harm a human, so... I must exorcise you." A child's voice spoke out.

"Mother and I... used to play in the gardens all the time... are you my mommy?" With furrowed brows, Hikari clenched her hand, a spear made of lighting molded within. She took aim and threw the spear towards the corner, a gentle light and clean breeze fell upon the toolshed.

May you find peace in the afterlife...

"Senpais! Akane-senpai has fainted!" Akane and Nene immediately rushed in, both looking disheveled.

"We should take Ao-chan to the nurses, Akane-kun!" Akane nodded with Nene and picked Aoi up.

"Sorry to cut the tour short, but..."

"D-don't worry, senpai!" Nene smiled brightly at the young exorcist.

"Thank you for helping, Hikari-chan!" Blushing, Hikari waved goodbye to her seniors before making her way home.

Stupid Cupid you're a real mean guy

I'd like to clip your wings so you can't fly

I'm in love and it's a crying shame

And I know that you're the one to blame

Hey hey, set me free

Stupid Cupid stop picking on me

Ever since that day, Hikari began getting Akane's attention no matter where he went. It was only natural, after all, she saved his beloved Aoi. He would catch glimpses of her as he would walk the halls, or greet her whenever they made eye contact. He noticed details about her. Her eyes were always gentle no matter what, though she rarely talked, she had an energy that attracted people to her. And, another thing he noticed was that she would never judge others no matter what.

"Oh, hi, Aoi-senpai!" His hiding spot had been compromised once again. Akane sighed and crawled out the plant.

"How do you do, Minamoto-kohai?"

"I'm d-doing well... how... how about you?"

"I'm doing perfectly fine, Ao-chan is as bright as the sun, so everything is fine!" The girl giggled at his response, but quickly covered her mouth.

"Sorry... I wasn't laughing at you, I-I just think your affection for Ao-senpai is quite cute..." Akane shook his head, squatting next to her, watching as she dug up wholes in the soil to plant beans.

"It's alright." They stayed in silence, before Akane spoke out.

"What made you interested in the Gardening Club?"

"U-umm, I joined because... I just wanted to make my brothers jobs easier." Akane said nothing and stared at the girl, encouraging her to continue.

"W-Well, Teru-nii is always busy with student council work and keeping peace in the school. Kou takes care of the housework himself and won't let me help, so... I was thinking if I could at least plant veggies and fruits, I could make their life easier... plus just in case Tiara's interested in gardening, I could teach her..." Hikari's fond expression quickly turned into one of embarrassment.

"But now that I say it out loud it doesn't make any sense!" Akane huffed, fiddling with the red student council band on his arm.

"No, I think it's nice that you think about your siblings and the fact that you try to take care of them, it's admirable." Akane didn't know what went through his mind as the words spewed out of his mouth. Hikari stopped patting the dirt, her face turning redder than the tomatoes on a nearby vine, her eye were wide, but they didn't convey any negative emotion.

"I-I see, thank you... for thinking that..."

"Oh and Minamoto-kohai, you could call me by my first name, so that's in not confusing."

"Then you can call me by my f-first name too..."

"Alright, Hikari-san."

I can't do my homework and I can't think straight

I meet her every morning 'bout half past eight

I'm acting like a lovesick fool

You've even got me carrying your books to school

Hey hey, set me free

Stupid Cupid stop picking on me

After their conversation in the garden, their usual greeting turned into full blown conversations with each other. It wasn't noticable, but they began getting closer. Hikari thought about her new friend most of the time, even though it distracted her from studying. Akane who used to hate having to collect files and papers from teachers of the middle school division, began enjoying his walks, seeing that as soon as Akane and Hikari made eye contact, Hikari would join him and help him on his quest (or so she liked to call it). It wasn't noticable to anyone, until Akane stopped confessing to Aoi everytime he saw her. He would still watch her with loving eyes, but Aoi noticed something was different with Akane. It was one morning, where Aoi's suspicions were confirmed. It was early in the morning, when Aoi stepped into the sunlit classroom, Akane was already there, ruffling through a pile of papers.

"Goodmorning, Akane-kun!" Aoi smiled at her childhood friend, who looked up with a bright smile.

"Ah! Goodmorning Ao-chan! You look as beautiful as always!" He then turned his attention to the papers in front of him. He didn't even notice her scrutinizing gaze, until she was literally in his face. He leaned away in slight shock.

"Something wrong, Ao-chan?" The indigo haired girl put a finger on her chin and hummed.

"I don't know how to put it, but Akane-kun, are you over me?" Akane tensed and blushed.

"O-Of course no-" The image of a smiling Hikari flashed in his head, causing him to stop mid sentence. The vivid image caused him to relive the memory. It was when the beans she planted finally sprouted out of the ground. She quickly called him over and showed him the accomplishment with proud smile, her usually gentle voice was filled with excitement.

"Look, Akane-senpai!"

"Akane-kun?" Akane snapped out of his trance, gazing at Aoi.

"Ao-chan, I still love you, but it's not the same love as before!" Aoi giggle, putting her hands behind her.

"Thought so! So do you like Hikari-chan?"

"Huh?! Ao-chan how did-"

"It was quite obvious Akane-kun! You're never to good at hiding your feelings if you like someone! Plus, I wouldn't be called your childhood friend if I didn't notice!" Akane sighed and rested his forehead on his arms.

"I see..."

Thank god President Minamoto hasn't noticed my change of behavior, yet... I can only imagine what he'll do to me!

Akane revisited memories of being tied up like an animal and shivered.

"Then, Akane-kun, what do you plan to do...?" Aoi's unanswered question stuck with him throughout the day. What was he going to do? It felt weird thinking of Hikari all the time instead of Aoi. His affections now differed, he wanted to stay the same with Aoi, but with Hikari it was different. It felt as if he'd been struck by a cupid's arrow, which made a warm feeling resonate within his chest. It wasn't until he stood in front of Hikari's classroom door afterschool, that he had the answer.

I want to ask her out!

The classroom door opened and out came a blonde boy, the thing the caught Akane's attention was the red traffic-safety amulet on the boys right ear.

"See ya, sis!" He ran off the opposite hallway from Akane and Hikari ran out of the classroom looking the way Kou ran off.

"W-wait Kou!" Kou was long gone by now, making her slump her shoulders in defeat.

"He forgot his spirit staff... and here he was boasting about taking down the school mysteries..."

"Hikari-san?" Surprised, the girl yelped before covering her mouth.

"Akane-senpai?!"

"U-um... about what you were talking about..." She tensed, before clenching her fists.

"C-can we go somewhere p-p-private..."

"Sure..." Akane followed Hikari up the roof and gulped as she stood in front of him with a bowed head.

"A-A-Actually... I've been putting off this confession for a long time... but can you promise me that no matter what... you won't look at me differently..." Akane stood paralyzed, with a heavy blush and without waiting for an answer, she took a deep breath.

C-Confession...?

"I-I'm actually an exorcist! I come from a lineage of exorcists, so I'm not the only one! My older brothers are also exorcists, t-that's why you heard me talk about supernaturals and all that gibberish..." A cold wind blew past Akane as comical tears ran down his cheeks.

A-Ah, that type of confession..

Quickly composing himself, Akane put his hands on her shoulder and looked into her eyes, which were full of uncertainty.

"Don't worry, Hikari-san, if anything, it makes my view of you grow positively!" He gave her a sweet smile, that made her feet go jelly.

"C-can I h-hug you..?" Akane didn't hesitate to give approval and he felt warm arms wrap themselves around his chest, her head was rested near his heart, which now, the redhead realized, was pounding rapidly.

"T-thank you, senpai!" Akane slowly wrapped his hands around her frame, pulling her closer, if that was possible.

I'm content with this...

You mixed me up for good right from the very start

Hey now, go play Robin Hood with somebody else's heart

About a few weeks later, Akane realized that he was not content with how the relationship was progressing. He managed to get a grip on himself and managed to not gush about the girl that kept his mind busy, seeing as he was scared that he would scare Hikari off. He tried to be sensitive, but like someone flipped a switch, he couldn't contain himself. He was tired of hiding his affections from the girl that deserved it the most. Making up his mind, he decided to confess to her, and told Aoi, who cheered him up. As he walked through the halls, ignoring the gossiping whispers of another supernatural at school, he planned on confessing the next time he sees her.

You got me jumping like a crazy clown

And I don't feature what you're putting down

It was lunch, when he saw her, but not in the exact situation he preferred. In fact it was the opposite of an ideal situation. He was walking, passing by an abandoned music classroom, when he heard a low piano note resonate, the sound of the door slamming open and someone being thrown against the wall followed the sound. Akane turned, horror on his face when he saw Hikari crumpled on the ground, cuts and bruises on her skin. She shakily picked her head up, reddish eyes clashing with blue eyes.

"A-Akane-senpai, get out of here! It's supernatural!" A black, gooey hand held the doorframe, and a shadow loomed over the girl, causing her to scramble back on her feet. A goey hand was raised, ready to strike, but gloved hand kept it in place.

"A-Akane-senpai...?" Hikari took in his appearance, his outfit had changed black and white suit, a pocket watch pinned on his chest. His hair had slighty gotten longer and a low ponytail swayed behind him. With a growl, Akane clenched his hand, breaking off the supernatural's hand off, getting the black substance on his face.

"You filth! Don't ever touch Hikari-chan with your dirty hands, ever again!" With his other hand, Akane stabbed through the supernatural's main body, making it go limp before dissolving into this air.

"Akane-senpai... you're a school mystery?" Akane turned his attention to the girl and gave her a closed eye smile.

"Yeah, sorry for keeping it a secret from you... but more importantly, are you okay?" He took her face into his hands, rubbing his thumbs over her cheeks in a gentle and loving manner. His red eyes gleamed with adoration.

"We need to take you to the nurse's, don't bother resisting, it's best if your brothers find out." He took her wrist and began pulling her along, stopping when he felt her other hand tugging on his white vest.

"Thank you for saving me Akane-senpai..." Blue eyes were filled with warmth and the genuine smile dancing on her lips made Akane snap.

Well since I kissed her loving lips of wine

The thing that bothers me is that I like it fine

Hey hey, set me free

Stupid Cupid stop picking on me

With a hand under her chin, he gently pulled her chin up, closing his eyes, he leaned in and pressed his lips onto hers. Hikari tensed into the sweet kiss, before relaxing and softly pressing her lips back. A small smile sneaked its way on Akane's face through the kiss, before the two pulled away and looked at each other's eyes.

"If it's you, I wouldn't mind have to save you no matter how many times it is... "A moment of silence was shared between the two, as Hikari slid her hand into his and he wasted no time to gently grip it into a secure hold. Akane stroked her cheek once more, and pressed his forehead upon hers. He realized that for once, he felt at peace. Hikari squeezed his hand.

"After all, I love you more than anything else in this world..."

You got me jumping like a crazy clown

And I don't feature what you're putting down

Well since I kissed his loving lips of wine

The thing that bothers me is that I like it fine

Hey hey, set me free

Stupid Cupid stop picking on me

Hikari remembered when she realized she was in love with Akane. It had been a few weeks ago, she had complained about not having enough fertilizer for the soil, and the very next day, Akane showed up to the Gardening Club with a wheelbarrow full of it. It was a grand and sweet gesture, and just the memory of it let a few giggles escape from her mouth.

"Akane-kun, I love you too."

Hey hey, set me free

Stupid Cupid stop picking on me

I hope you like it and I'm sorry if any characters seem OOC! Also apologies for any editing mistakes!

THE COUNTRY THAT I ADMIRED

Have you been to South korea? If yes, I envy you. “South korea, East Asian nation on the southern half of the Korean Peninsula.” I always wanted to go in korea. You wanna know why?

I admire how South Koreans are so used to studying -- the country has the highest education level in Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) countries, with 98% of the population completing secondary education and 63% with a college education -- they can't get out of the habit once they reach the workforce.

As we all know, South korea is where our k-drama actors and actresses live. Of course from the word itself “k-drama or korean drama” silly me. K-drama or korean drama are television series or movies in the Korean language, made in South Korea. Korean dramas are popular worldwide, partially due to the spread of Korean popular culture, and their widespread availability via streaming services which often offer subtitles in multiple languages.

I know most of us millennials or even older or younger like or LOVE rather watching korean dramas. As for me, one of the reasons really, is that I would love to go to South Korea because of them. I'm an k-drama addict, you see. I mostly spend my time watching korean dramas and I cannot count anymore how many k-dramas I have already watched. I’m not expecting to finally meet them, but I still hope so. I want to go to many places, nice places that I have always seen in the series or movie. To feel like I was with them that time. I really always wanted to go to the country where they live.

Just like in the series, DOTS or descendants of the sun, D-day, School 2017, Sweet revenge 1, The odyssey, Weightlifting fairy, Strong woman, Legend of the blue sea, The heirs, Fight for my way and many more, my all time favorites. So let us see where this travelogue will bring us.

One of the places there in DOTS is Taekbaek Hanbo coal mine, the place where abandoned coal mines in Taebaek City, Gangwon Province, South Korea, were scenes of the soldiers’ military camp in fictional country Urk was filmed. It is where Captain Yoo Si Jin and Doctor Kang Mo-Yeon put the flag where the mines were, so that the people would know and be aware that it is dangerous to step.

Second place is Sorae Galmegi, one of the beloved Korean BBQ joints in Seoul, it is the perfect dining option for drama lovers who want to try out delicious local food. In the show, this is where the epic drinking session of the army occured. Song Hye Kyo joined 72 hours non stop drinking in Seoul too. This should come as no surprise, as drinking soju + eating mouthwatering pork cuts is one of favorite Korean pastimes.

Third, there are several scenes in the show that feature this cozy Korean coffee chain. Arguably the most memorable one is from the second episode in which Song Joong-ki and Song Hye-kyo’s characters break up. We can find this branch of Dalkomm Coffee in the vicinity of Incheon Central Park, a lovely area in its own right.

Fourth, The European-style shopping mall lies in east Seoul, appearing in the show as a date spot for the two leads. As you glide through the lavishly decorated avenues, you can reenact the show and do a little shopping on the side.

Fifth is the modern architectural wonder located in Songo, Incheon. Its sleek, state-of-the-art appearance is one of the reasons why it appeared in a lot of drama. Tourists can climb up the tower to witness some of the most spectacular views of the Incheon Central Park and the surrounding area.

Sixth is Jaguen Maeul, Also known as Bok Chicken in Weightlifting Fairy Kim Bok Joo, Jageun Maeul is home to the fried chicken restaurant run by Bok Joo’s father in the show. Unlike the show, the restaurant serves a variety of Korean food instead. If you’re looking for an adventure outside of Seoul, Jaguen Maeul is the perfect place to relive Bok Joo and Joon Hyung’s awkward romance that made us swoon.

Seventh is Descendants of the Sun – Wolmido Island Theme Park, Fans may be disheartened to know that they can’t visit Uruk, the fictional country in which their love bloomed, but fret not! Many other sites of the drama can be found in Korea, including Wolmi Theme Park! Found on Wolmido Island near Incheon, the theme park is featured in the show’s first episode There, Si Jin and Dae Young are spending their time off trying to win themselves “girlfriends”, the show’s famous stuff toys.

Eight is Legend of the Blue Sea – Aqua Planet Yeosu, If the scene where Joon Jae and Shim Cheong reunite made your heart melt, this Legend of the Blue Sea set is the perfect place to relive the show’s romance. Multiple scenes were filmed at the aquarium, but this reunion scene was filmed in front of the Ocean’s Life main aquarium. The aquarium features over 280 species over 4 floors, and is said to be the second largest aquarium in Seoul.

Ninth is Boys Over Flowers – N Seoul Tower, As one of the most iconic landmarks in Seoul, it’s no surprise that the cult favourite drama Boys Over Flowers was filmed at Namsan Tower! The tower is where Jun pyo and Jan Di were supposed to have their romantic date. Famous for its gorgeous views of Seoul, it’s a popular date spot for couples. Who knows, you might even meet your own Jun Pyo while enjoying the view.

Tenth is The Heirs – Bukchon Hanok Village, A tiny traditional village in the heart of a bustling city, Bukchon Hanok Village dates back all the way to the Joseon Dynasty. In The Heirs, Eun Sang meets Kim Tan outside a dreamcatcher shop found in the village, but did you know the actual store sells egg tarts? The village is a popular tourist place for those wanting to experience traditional Korean culture. A walking tour is also available for those teens to find out more. But they said that you need to be quiet while walking along the way there because you may disturb the residents living there.

Eleventh is Shilla Millenium Park, Boasting what might be the most star-studded cast, Hwarang: The Beginning told the story of Hwarang warriors during the Shilla period. Being a period drama, most of the show was filmed at traditional heritage sites. Shila Millenium Park serves as set for Hwarang’s training ground in the show. Shilla Millenium Park is also home to dramas such as Queen Seondeok as well as Boys Over Flowers. The park allows visitors a peek into the life during the Shilla period, complete with architecture unique to the era.

Twelve is Strong Woman Do Bong Soon – Seoul Land, No Korean drama is complete without an adorable theme park date that makes us wish we had an oppa too. If Bong Soon and Min Hyuk’s date in Strong Woman Do Bong Soon seemed like the perfect date, don’t forget to stop by Seoul Land with your significant other! I really wanted to go here. I can see how they enjoyed themselves while walking in the park and I want to experience it too!

Thirteenth is Goblin – Jumunjin Beach. If you have already seen that drama, you would feel the same too! It was a nice scenery and for sure it can relieve stress. Your Korean drama pilgrimage isn’t complete without stopping at one of Goblin’s filming sites. One of the most iconic scenes from the show is when Eun Tak first summons Kim Shin to the beach on her birthday. Since then, fans have been flocking to the breakwater to recreate that moment. Jumunjin Beach is home to more than 5 breakwaters, so make sure you find the right one! if you’re not sure which one it is, look out for the huge TV signboard.

Fourteenth is Wolmido Island, Incheon (Descendants of the Sun). Those scenes where Captain Yoo Si-jin and Sergeant Major Seo Dae-young were playing at a shooting range? Yep, that was here, at Wolmido Island. Travelers can enjoy the vast array of cafes and seafood restaurants along the coast – with great coffee and sea views too boot. There’s also Play Hill, another theme park that’s a must-visit.

Fifteenth is Samcheok Daemyung Resort Sol Beach, Donghae (My Secret Romance). This Santorini-themed location was used to film My Secret Romance, and it’s actually a resort outfitted with Spanish architecture. It features restaurants, Aqua World (an indoor water park), a sauna, and a fusion buffet – perfect for unwinding after a long day of traveling around.

Sixteenth is Petite france. When you look at Petite France, it becomes no surprise why this is a popular filming location for K-Dramas – it’s a French cultural village complete with French-inspired buildings, and has The Little Prince Theme Park too to boot. Make sure to check out the Orgel house, where a 200-year old music box plays on end.

These places are just a glimpse of how the Country South Korea is beautifully made. You can check out in google many other places because there are still a thousand places that you can go to and enjoy. You cannot blame me why I would really love to go to South Korea because you can see how the places are wonderfully made. I also want to taste their food there and make a mukbang video as what I have always seen on youtube where many of the koreans do video mukbangs of many delicious foods. Check out G-Ni’s videos. I'm sure that it can make your mouth watery. We can see a variety of foods and a variety of restaurants where there are so many unexplainable tastes of food she introduced.

As I have researched many articles saying that Koreans also give heart warming welcome to those especially are new to their country.

I will not let things stop me from going to South Korea, it is really the place I would love to go to and spend it with someone who was really special like friends or family. I will work hard so that I can reach my dreams and treat them without minding how much I already spend. Aja! (Fighting). Kamsahamnida (thank you) for reading chinggus (friends) . I hope it made you want to go to South Korea also. Annyeong~ (Bye)

[karasuno-writings]

(INFJ anon)Since I was ten I’ve wanted to work in some part of the homicide division because I want to help people who lost loved ones by aiding in investigations. I know I want it but I have a long ways to go and I lose confidence every once in a while. I love cats and plants and am drawn to people who are more happy/positive and/or driven than I am because it motivates me. I'm a romantic but don't show it and have trouble opening up and am always ready to help a friend. Thank you!(2/2)

Hello! I've always wanted to do a matchup so I was really excited when I noticed they were open! I'm a heterosexual girl, 22, 5'10", INFJ, Hufflepuff. I have really thick and curly brown hair past my shoulders, hazel-brown eyes, and am on the curvy side. I'm stubborn, independent, and competitive, but I'm also the mom of my friend group. I love listening to all kinds of music and enjoy plays, history, and playing d&d. And I’m bilingual.(1/2)

I hope you like the match anon!! Sorry if it took a little long!! This was fun to make! Thanks for the request!

………………………………………………………………………..

I match you with: Sugawara Koushi 

Suga is an amazing boyfriend and he is so sweet with you. Honestly you two make a very happy, functional couple! The two of you together take care of all your friends but most importantly take care of each other, having someone who is mature and levelheaded is a fresh breath of air, however, this does not mean that you don’t get to be silly around each other! He loves that you make him try harder, you being competitive makes him try to keep up and challenge himself. Suga is also a big motivator, whenever you feel like your confidence falls he will be there right by your side, he will remind you of your goal and make you know how capable you are; he admires the fact that you do it for such a selfless cause and will support you on every step of the way. He respects your independency and likes that he can be at ease even when you don’t see each other from time to time, still he will be there the second you call him, he loves spending time with you.  He loves your disposition to help your friends, he finds that selflessness so endearing, he always checks up on you so that you do not forget to take care of yourself. His ultimate goal is for you to be good and happy, and with such a cheerful spirit how can you not fall for someone like him? 

School had ended about about half an hour ago, you decided you would browse around a little plant shop that had caught your eyes some days ago. Its cozy atmosphere had called called to you, so you decided it was time to add a new plant to your collection. Suga and Daichi walked out of Ukai’s shop, holding bags of treats meant for the team after practice. Suga saw you looking at some cacti, a small smile on your face; knowing a little about plants and owning a fair share of his own, he decided to approach you. He grabbed a succulent, a very colorful one which had seemed to bloom fully, and went off to buy it. While you were still distracted and deep in thought he held it out to you, a small sweet next to the tiny pot; “I see that you like the shop, it’s pretty cozy, right? This little one is hard to come across, take good care of it”, confused you looked at the silver-haired boy, and just seeing him smile stirred something inside you. You refused to accept the gift unless you could pay him back, so Suga decided to very shyly to give you his number, sure that he would not accept a penny from you but that it was the best opportunity to get to know you.

After you decided to actually text him he was ecstatic, and talking to each other became routine, friendship blossomed slowly over long conversations. One day you were talking with each other through the phone late at night, he told you about the recent victories of the team and how he hopped to see them at nationals for his last year, and you told him about your dream and listening to you, the ups and downs, he realized that he wanted to support and listen to you forever.

Headcanons:

He loves to watch plays with you, he takes you on dates and you always end up talking about the ones you love the most

You teach him to play dnd and it brings his inner nerd to sine, you have set dates with friends and a special place to play, its all very serious and he finds it so much fun 

He wants to learn the languages you speak, he melts if you tell him sweet nothings in other languages. He tries to write you sweet notes on those languages but more often than not they are really off, its cute nevertheless. 

He knows how to read your love language and being the romantic he is he manages to bring out your sweeter parts, you do not need to explicitly show him, he noticed on the little details he loves

Pairing: Carver Hawke/Merrill

Prompt: Surprise kiss

Title: Playing for the kiss

Read on AO3

It was entirely too late in the season to be attending outdoor games, but for some odd reason the others had insisted they all went. That’s how Carver found himself sitting in the bleachers, dressed in a warm jacket, wrapped in a thick grey-and-blue scarf and sporting a floppy hat. The scarf had been a handmade gift from a certain dark-haired girl he fancied and he would sooner die than admit to how much he liked wearing it.

“Move to the left, Junior!” Varric grumbled from the bench behind. “Your head is so large it obscures the entire field!”

Carver grumbled, rolled his eyes and shifted a little closer to Merrill. Isabela, who sat on the other side of her, seemed to ignore the decrease in space.

“Sorry, the dwarf seems to have trouble with his eyes,” he mumbled to the girl. “Let me know if I’m squishing you, or whatever.”

Her incredibly green eyes zeroed-in on his face and a bright, gentle smile spread on her face.

“It’s fine. I like being squished, it’s warmer that way.”

A blush immediately prickled against his neck and cheeks, so Carver did his best to stick his face into the oversized scarf and hope the color didn’t seep any higher. He turned back to ‘watch the game’ and grunted something unintelligible in reply. It made him sound like an unbearable ass, but he felt it was better than trying to withstand the endlessly inquisitive gaze of the elvhen girl next to him. He was terrified she would see right through him and his ill-conceived feelings.

The Kirkwall Raiders continued playing against Wycome Sylvans as if they were playing against Frostback Nugs and Carver did his best to keep his curse words to himself; before they left home, Garrett told them to draw as little attention to their group as possible. Still, he grumbled under his breath as he watched both teams lumber around the field, clearly pretending to know how to kick a ball.

“Are we losing?” came a quiet question from his left.

Carver took a steadying breath and leaned in closer to Merrill; he reached out towards the field and started pointing out players.

“That guy over there runs around the field like someone put silverite in his shoes, that one can't keep a ball rolling even if his life depended on it and our goalie looks to be asleep,” he recited and huffed. “We haven’t lost yet, but yeah, we’re losing.”

Merrill frowned. “Oh. I’m sorry.”

“That’s fine, it’s not your fault,” he replied with a shrug. “This game isn’t exactly a part of the league rankings so it doesn’t matter anyway.”

Long silence greeted his comment and looked to the side, curious. He noted that Merrill kept frowning and staring down at the field with concentration he usually associated with her casting magic.

“What’s wrong?” he asked.

She sighed and her face finally smoothed out. “I don’t understand the game”

It was Carver’s turn to frown.

“What? But why did you come, then?”

Merrill smiled, but it didn’t reach her eyes and it made her whole expression look sad. “It sounded better than sitting at home, staring at the empty walls,” she quipped.

Damn, Carver felt like a humongous asshole, no matter how he looked at it. He stared at Merrill for several moments and made a quick decision.

“I can explain the rules, if you’d like?”

The smile that bloomed on her face was the biggest one he’d seen all afternoon.

“Yes! Learning new things is a lot of fun!” she exclaimed.

Carver chuffed at her excitement and once more leaned in so he could explain how the sport was played. He kept pointing to different player positions, gesticulating, and detailing various general rules, while Merrill silently followed every move and word, her green eyes staying on his at all times. Perhaps it was his thick clothing, or all the flailing he was engaging in, but the warmth that spread through his chest was delightful and comforting.

“Ugh, will they ever score?” Varric’s voice trailed somewhere behind them.

“Probably never,” Carver grumbled in reply.

No matter how he looked at it, the game had been completely uneventful and even if one of the teams attempted going for a goal, they would probably get intercepted by the other's defense. Thankfully, this wasn’t a qualifying game or they’d be sitting here until another Blight.

Out of the corner of his eyes he saw movement and turned to watch Merrill rub her bare hands together.

“Are you cold?” he asked inanely and tried not to roll his eyes at his own stupidity. Of course she was cold! She was rubbing her hands together and--

“A little,” she admitted and puffed some air into her clasped palms. “I didn’t think it would be this cold or I would have brought gloves.”

Carver frowned in concentration and ran a few solutions in his head. Without much debate, he unfurled the majority if his scarf and draped it around her tiny hands, and gave a few rubs just for a good measure.

“Does that help?” he asked.

For the first time since he could remember, Merrill actually broke eye contact and looked away. As Carver watched, fascinated, her cheeks turned a lovely pink color and her lips plumped with the way she worried them with teeth. She was such a perfect picture of feminine beauty, he forgot for a moment that he was supposed to be warming her up and just stared, flummoxed.

“Merrill, I--” he started, not sure what his mouth would say next.

“Hmmm?”

That’s when the noise erupted around them and they turned their attention to the field. One of the Kirkwall players had managed to intercept the ball and was currently running towards the opposite goal posts. Carver rose to his feet along with everybody else, though he made sure he still held Merrill’s hands in one of his, pulling her up with him.

“C’mon, Johnson!” he screamed towards the field. “Get it done!”

Next to him Merrill bounced in place with enthusiasm and it warmed his heart that while she hadn’t completely grasped the finer points of the game, she was still excited when their home team was doing well. With that thought in mind, he watched as the offensive team finally woke up from their coma and executed a play that was near-perfect and resulted in the first - and only - goal of the game.

“YES!” Carver roared his approval and the crowd around him erupted with cheers.

Next to him, Merrill whooped louder than he had ever heard her be and he turned to watch. It didn’t take long for her to notice, though, and she impulsively jumped towards him, throwing her hands around his neck. He easily caught her in his arms and held her tightly.

“We won!” she squeaked in excitement and smiled a huge smile.

The energy of the crowd must have gone to his head, because he kissed her then; pulled her closer into his arms and pressed his lips to hers. She stilled against him, but only for a breath, and then she was kissing him back, her mouth incredibly soft and pliant underneath his. Carver had a vague sense that people were cheering again, but he could not bring himself to care, he was so lost in her taste and touch.

Once they parted, he quickly became aware that they were the only two people still standing in the bleachers and their friends were unabashedly staring, their grins both satisfied and knowing. He gently set Merrill down on the ground and cast a look around; his brother sat two seats behind and kept grinning like a maniac.

“The game isn’t over. You’re blocking the view,” Garrett said with a smirk.

Carver immediately plopped down to his seat, but before Merrill could do the same, he pulled her into his lap and pressed her close to his chest.

“I’m not interested in watching the game,” he murmured into her neck.

She shuddered visibly and shifted, pressing her forehead against his.

“Okay,” she whispered.

They kept kissing long past the end of the game and endured a multitude of teasing on their way home; Merrill’s sweet expression after every kiss he bestowed upon her lips made it all worth it.

What do you think the boys are like? I'm new to army and want to know their individual personalities

So, let’s summarize the boys then! Welcome to the fandom by the way, and also, i’m not an expert, but you can easily get to know them a bit better by watching videos/shows they’ve participated, it’s a great source! I will try to keep this short, lets go. (No, i failed, i couldn’t keep this short, enjoy reading all the little details about members personalities

Jin: he’s the oldest member, his age gap with the youngest member of bangtan (Jungkook) is like 5 years, he’s not an introvert nor an extrovert, it varies, at first glance he looks like a quiet person, but when he’s with the members he’s so playful, and he makes dad jokes all the time hahaha, the king of dad jokes, he’s also a very confident, and has high self esteem! It’s really funny whenever he jokes and laughs at his own jokes (he does that all the time) and also he’s very passionate about cooking and food in general, if you want to get to know him more i recommend you look for his Eat Jin episodes either on youtube or VAPP because he talks about him and all that, it’s really cool, and him being the oldest member makes him have a leader type of temperament. Cares a lot about his members, always wanting to take care of them, he also cooks for them, i feel like he would be such a great father in the future

Yoongi/Suga: so he’s the lethargic one in the group (as he said himself) because he’s always in the mood for sleep or either very quiet (sometimes on his cellphone) but that DOES NOT make him a cold person, he’s far from that (he’s a pisces come on, i am one too, we are soft), he can get easily excited and energetic when he’s either on stage (enjoying himself) or doing something that he’s really passionate about (composing for example), and i do believe we can call him an introvert, he also has a really strong personality, he knows what he likes, does what he wants to do, it’s not like he doesn’t care, but more like if he doesn’t like something, he will not do it, period. But the thing is that, if you listen to his mixtape he released called Agust D, and read the lyrics, you’ll see that he shared a lot of personal experiences and stories with us there, he too is a human, who suffered with depression, and pisces people tend to be closeted and not show their emotions that much, so he was brave enough to share that with us, you can learn a bit more about him reading lyrics of some songs. sometimes pisces have this ‘i don’t care’ attitude, but deep down we have the biggest soft spots for people that we really like, and things that we love to do. Also, he’s definitely very independent. An inspiration.

Namjoon/Rap Monster: our leader, namjoon is a hard to understand person, but once you get to know him, you’re gonna love him. he’s definitely an introvert, he’s the type that enjoys long walks on the beach, or just going to a quiet park with a book to sit down and read, maybe even enjoy the scenery and clear his mind. He tends to overthink most of the time, being the leader, there’s this pressure on him for always having to be perfect and strong for his members, hence why he’s always having those deep philosophical thoughts inside his head all the time, this too because like i mentioned before, he also reads a lot! He’s quiet, emotional, sensitive, analytical and of course a perfectionist, started rapping underground and composing when he was really young, mostly because of all the pressure of high school (he used to be one of the top students, with a high IQ) he decided that the best way to express his feelings was through his lyrics, so he started composing and fell in love, rap is also a way he used to let it all out. He tends to also analyze things too much and is always setting high standards for himself, so definitely like i mentioned before as well, it’s a lot of pressure on him. He loves writing long deep messages for armys, either telling a story that has a deep meaning, or just using metaphors to tell how much he loves and appreciate us. He’s always trying to find a way to improve, and he’s definitely very empathetic, likes to have long deep convos, artistic and very creative. And, by being an introvert like i also mentioned, he tends to go to parks/beaches type of places to be alone, a good way to get away from all the noise of the world, and have some time alone. He’s truly inspirational. And if you ever see some bangtan bombs, you’ll probably notice he’s always on his phone right? He loves writing lyrics and his thoughts! 

Hoseok/J-Hope: ahh he’s a literal sunshine, the most optimistic and charismatic member - Your angel, your hope - he’s also really noisy, and energetic the type that randomly starts dancing and playing music in your room at 3am asking you to join him, but anyway lmfao, he’s always smiling, a cheerful, positive and friendly person. He’s the mood maker of the group, so count on him to cheer up the place anytime. He once mentioned that his stage name (J-hope) fits him very well since he aims to give hope to the members, and to ARMYs as well

Jimin: so, he’s a really cute and shy person. he’s the tiniest one of the group (comparing to the other members lmfao). but he’s not only abs like most ppl talk/care about, he’s a genuinely nice person, and he’s super empathetic as well, which makes him such a good and caring friend, someone who everyone wants to be friends with. whenever a member is sad/worried or overthinking too much, he’s there to help, sometimes even putting their feelings before his own, that’s how much he cares about his close friends. he’s the type to closet his feelings too, because he always want’s so to show us a good image, wanting to impress and please ppl most of the time, he manages to hide it by smiling and give us the impression he’s shrugging it off, but he usually opens up his playfulness and youthful acts with close friends. he used to be super self conscious about his body, but that has changed as time passed and he matured a lot, he’s now an explosion and a strong person on stage, he has lots of self confidence and he can get kinda selfish when he’s on stage because like i mentioned there’s that whole pressure on him for setting such high standards for himself, and always wanting to please ppl, but he still manages to do it with a giant smile on his face (which is one of the things that can brighten up anyone’s day, his eye smile is the reason why i fell for him). He’s really passionate about anything he does, like dancing for example, and he’s always wanting to improve. I mentioned above, how he can sometimes closet his feelings and it pains me sometimes, because i really wish he wasn’t that scared to maintain such a “manly and strong image”, i really wish he could show us his true emotions more often, like when he does logs and talks to us about how he’s feeling, that type of thing, but i noticed that lately he has been doing that, and i’m proud of him. And, he’s such a sweet, caring, naive and lovely person, protect him at all costs. His smile is beautiful and can cheer up anyone, his eye smile is so pretty it can make flowers bloom.

Taehyung/V: so this kid has a really quirky personality, he’s such an interesting, eccentric and unique person, he can easily create his own monologues while doing laundry, and play two characters at the same time. he’s really funny, naive, down-to-earth and carefree person, he’s kinda like Yoongi, he does whatever he wants to and he doesn’t care about what other ppl think about him (take his fashion sense/style for example, he loves huge tshirts, he even used to cut it himself, and make giant holes on it haha, truly a king of DIY). he has such a deep and beautiful voice, and has also a very model-like proportioned body. He’s a really cool guy who everyone would want be friends with, he’s all bubbly and energetic like Hoseok. If he’s happy or in a good mood, you’ll see it, because he can get hyper really easily, but when he’s tired he can get quiet easily. He’s open and expressive of his feelings. Nevertheless, he’s the one who’s more attached to his family, whenever he has the chance to mention his parents and/or grandparents, he does it, either to thank them, or to say how much he loves and cherish them, he has younger siblings and he loves childrena so much! i feel like he would be the greatest father in the future! He’s an animal lover too

Jungkook: last but not least, our famous golden maknae, the youngest one in the group! when he first joined bighit, he used to be very shy, during trainee days and even when they debuted, during their first years, that hasn’t changed much, except the fact that he grew up now, and he too has a quirky and interesting personality, and he feels more relaxed and comfortable around bangtan members. The type of boy that, would rather stay home making his covers for example, playing video games (he loves overwatch btw) or watching a movie, reading comics and such, than going out. I see him as an introvert guy, he opens up his playfulness and youthful acts to his close friends and bangtan members only, and he’s kind of private about his own personal feelings too, only a few selected ppl would know about it. He’s not called the golden maknae for nothing, this nickname carries a bigger meaning, altho hes the youngest one in the group he’s such a talented boy, like anything he does he’s good at, it either being dancing or singing, even shooting an arrow, he’s good at anything
