HI! Thank you!! <33

# 10 " You're so cute,"

Bound and gagged, your cries fell on deaf ears when faced with Diluc, the workers never bothered you, they never entered the room unless you were dressed and with Diluc, they never tried freeing you, and they never stopped fearing for their safety under Diluc's iron-like hold on the region and Teyvat. A rich businessman with relations was the worse kind to garner their ire or obsession.

His hips moved at a steady pace, shallowly thrusting and taking his time to watch you squirm and take him whole; red, swollen folds rubbing around his thick length, leaking the combined juices of your orgasms. His narrowed eyes burned darkly with unbridled lust as they moved from your ankles locked around his hips to your soaked mound, over your navel, stomach, and chest covered in purple and red bites and kisses, and from your tear-stricken face and puffy eyes to your bound hands gripping the mahogany headboard. He was entranced by your appearance, a wreck and bumbling mess of tears and moans made by his hand. It made him harder, his cock twitching and promising another load. Pain and pleasure came as one, one couldn't exist without the other and it appealed to his sadistic side, it appealed to it too much.

His hands felt everything he could, all the skin that stayed unmarred by his teeth and fingers, he wanted to bite into the fatty part of your thighs, leave them red and bloodied until he lapped it up, he wanted to paint your hips black and blue with his hands, leave them pained and sore for the coming days.

Thoughts drowned by pleasure (and your cries), he jerked wildly, pace erratic with loud panting as he peppered your neck and collar with wet kisses. His pounding went from short and shallow to deep and rough, he loved hearing your muffled squealing and whiny cries. He found it simply adorable.

"You're so cute, " Diluc cooed, breathing heavily into your ears. "Calmer and more pliant when I fuck you, hmm?"

Your mind reeled in disgust, conscience praying for it to stop, telling your body to stop reacting so disgracefully. You wanted your body to stop betraying you, to stop turning into a puddle of sweat and cum in Diluc's hand he could tell you all about him much your body loved it, that you loved him and were simply in denial; but you knew, you knew that your body only reacted to stimuli, that you hadn't really wanted him, your body simply reacted to what it was given.

Your body jerked and jolted when the leaky of his raging erection slammed into your cervix, alternating between pounding into your cervix and your sweet spot. Your body reacted to his foreplay because he knew where to touch, what to rub and roll, he did things while having you bound.

"I'm going to come," he groaned, mind numb with delight at the image of you plump and bred with his child.

He licked your neck, drawing a line of saliva from your collar to your jaw, lips patting to swallow your drool and kiss the side of your mouth. He cursed, hips rocking erratically, dick twitching before he ground deeper into you and came. The warmth that filled you brought a sickly feeling, ropes of cum covering your walls and clinging to every part of your cunt. You almost shuddered as he rutted against you, pushing his release deeper. You would've puked if you weren't gagged, bound, or here at all.

The most damning thing about this was the words he mumbled after he came, the soft promise he told you in an innocent tone:

"I love you."

[mercur1e]

Just a silly thought i had- what if the god of war characters were adorable cats???

Okay so Kratos would be named Kittos, and he’d be a white maine coon with a scar on his eye! (deep down he’s a black cat to me though) OH AND HE’D HAVE A CRUNCHY MEOW!! You’d have to slowly earn his trust for him to feel comfortable with you petting him or getting near his baby. Otherwise he will hiss and bite. He comes and goes as he pleases.

Atreus would be Mewtreus, and he’d be a little orange tabby kitty!! He’ll always be following behind his papa💗 He has a high pitched meow that slightly deepens as he becomes a teenager.

Faye would be a pretty orange Norwegian forest cat, who Mewtreus got his looks from. Her name would be the same because I think it’s just so pretty. A soft, light meow and she’s very watchful yet playful! For an outdoor cat she’s not very dirty at all!

Freya would be a Balinese cat and Freyr would be a Balinese or Siamese cat! Their names would be Mewa and Mewer :) Mewer really loves his uh…cat grass. He cuddles nicely and has a stuffed toy boat named Skiðblaðnir that he loves very much💖

Mimir would be an Oriental shorthair because he loves to talk, and oriental shorthairs are too! Of course i’m going to name him Mewmir😂 He’d be a sweet little kitty who needs a kitty wheelchair but trust he’s always on bumpers when it’s time to fight! He loves pets and will meow until you give him what he wants.

Sindri would be a Sphynx cat but has patches of hair, and Brok would too but he’d be bald(totally NOT because Brok is a skirted egg) They have skippty pap sessions sometimes but they’ll put aside their differences quickly. Sindri loves his personal space, but Brok also loves Sindri’s personal space.

Thor would be an orange persian cat who is fiercely protective of his last daughter, Mewed. (I’m not very creative with the names I know) He will hiss and swat at anyone that gets too close to his baby except for Sif. Has a deep meow and beautiful coat.

Baldur is an Abyssinian and only lets those close to to him pet him, and does not like his mother. He is an outdoor cat that will only come back every blue moon. Kittdur loves to hunt, and would bring back dead prey to as presents.

Sif would be named Sniff and is a Siberian Forest cat! She won’t meow much, but when she does it’s very adorable.

Odin would also be an either an Oriental shorthair because he also talks A LOT !! If not an oriental cat, he’d be a Cornish Rex. Meowdin would be one of those cats that steps on your face in the middle of your night.

Angrboda would be an adorable Calico Kitty!!!! Meowgrboda is her name🫶🏽 She and Mewtreus will cuddle on occasion. She’s the kind of kitty who will stay in your arms all night and snuggle you! She loved to be picked up and enjoys challenging toys. She’s an adorable indoor cat who loves her toys!

Heimdall would be named Hissdall and is a Turkish Van who hisses at everyone except his owner. Will swat at other cats and enjoys his solitude. He tried to bite Mewtreus one time and Kittos didn’t take kindly to that.

Týr would be a brown oriental shorthair, is surprisingly very quiet for his breed but sweet as can be! Will circle around your legs for pets! Has the trademark honk meow and it’s a true treat to hear it.

Do you guys know that one cat meme and it’s just like cuddled nicely vs. bit my ass? Yeah that’s Mewer and Hissdall.

This was fun to write!! I’d would like to write about the Valkyries as cats next, would anyone be interested in seeing that? Please let me know if you are! :)

Pairing: Starish X afab!Reader X Quartet Night

Synopsis: On this momentuous night, MC ends her visit with a special song dedicated for each of her beloved idols.

Word Count: 1,504

Tonight's the night. The night that she finally finished visiting them. She already seen their smiling faces and their unique personalities, each and everyone differ from each other and it truly captured her attention.

The [h/c]ette teen hummed a gentle tune that was written by no other than the girl herself—For You. It was the song that she wrote to express her feelings for each and every one of her beloved idols, and that's the reason why she's very jubilant tonight.

[E/c] eyes wandered around the place as she walks; the blooming, pink leaves of the famous cherry blossoms caught her attention successfully. The bright, full moon shone its white moonlight down unto her figure, an opaque shadow forming right behind her walking form.

After meeting everyone from both St☆rish and Quartet Night, [Y/n] left the premises and decided to take a midnight stroll once again outside. She arrived at the garden that was filled with bountiful cherry blossoms everywhere. A smile found its way unto her lips once she saw the moon giving light to the place, several pink leaves floated around.

'Koko ni aru no wa

Kimi ga ima made eranda michi no

Kotaetachi yo

Hora jishin motte susumeba ii

Totemo shizen na no

Ameagari no asufaruto ni

Niji ga kakaru you ni'

She sang. Her angelic and soft voice resonated around the place, creating an echo of delicate harmony. The wind picked up and made the leaves of the trees sway, some fell off from its respective branch and floated pass the girl. Her [e/c] orbs reflected the shine of the moon as she halted to a stop, her figure glistening under the heavenly arrays of light. The previous soft breeze gently caressed her [s/c] skin whilst her hair danced along with the evening winds.

'Lonely kaze ga fuite

Feeling ki ga tsuita yo

Kotae wa doko ni mo nai kedo

Call me wakatteru wa

With you ai wa itsumo

Atae au mono'

[Y/n] reached a gazebo and slowly trudged her way towards it. It was designed with ivory, marble tiles, and white, wooden pillars on each corner, vines climbing up until it reaches the top. The white roof was painted with a cherry blossom design, covering most space with pink and green hue. In the middle of the gazebo was a lone white, wooden bench. She sat on it and closed her eyes, relaxing her body as she leaned back. The girl continued to sing her heart out, both of her hands clutched on her chest. Her eyelids slowly fluttered close, deciding that it is better to sing with closed eyes to be able to feel the emotions surging through.

'For You

Kitto kimi wa itsu no hi ka

Kono sora o toberu hazu dakara

Nando tsumazuita toshite mo

For You

Taisetsu na koto wa hitotsu

Yume miru koto

Kokoro dake wa tozasanaide ite'

Unbeknownst to her, three members of St☆rish heard her sing and taken by curiosity, they decided to search for the source of the voice. Though even without any evidence, those three knew whose voice that was. They knew that it belonged to no other than [Y/n] herself.

Red, brown and bluish-black hairs emerged from a corner and their eyes immediately fell on the gazebo. There they saw the silhouette of the girl sitting on the bench in the middle of the gazebo.

Otoya's reddish-orange eyes stared lovingly at [Y/n]'s silhouette from the distance, listening attentively to her angelic voice. As for Tokiya, he was entranced by the girl's harmony with his blue eyes dilated wide in surprise. Though a small smile soon tugged his lips.

"[Y/n]-chan's voice is blessed by the muses..." Cecil breathed, taking in every tune.

'Kizutsuite mo namida korae

Gaman shiteta yo ne

Sonna kimi o ichiban chikaku de

Mitekita kara

Nani mo iwanakute mo

Wakatteru yo

Donna toki mo gambatteta koto'

As the song progressed, a pair of blondes appeared from behind the building, rounding the corner and soon their eyes landed on the gazebo before them. The two blondes, one tall and one short, immediately stopped in their tracks and stared at the person from afar.

Natsuki's emerald eyes lit up in recognition of the voice. "It truly is [Y/n]-chan!"

"Ssh! Not so loud, Natsuki!" Syo instantly scolded the taller male in a hushed voice. "You don't want to ruin her performance, do you?"

"Sorry, Syo-chan..." Natsuki rubbed his head apologetically.

The two didn't exchange words after. They stayed silent and focused on listening to [Y/n]'s singing. Syo and Natsuki once heard the [h/c]ette sing before, and the first time that they did, they were enthralled by her delicate song and gentle voice.

Syo's blue hues softened as he gazed at the girl's back, watching her from the shadows. He leaned on the wall with his arms crossed, deciding to close his eyes in order to feel the emotions even better.

As for the tall, glasses-wearing blonde, he had his hands clasped together in front of his chest. A genuine smile sported his lips, along with gentle gem-colored orbs filled with excitement.

'Lonely mayotta nara

Try again nando datte

Yarinaosu koto dekiru kara

I'm here soba ni iru wa

Believing osorenaide

Shinji au koto'

"Well, well, well~ If it wasn't little kitty~" Ren purred quietly while emerging from the garden of trees.

Masato soon joined him and his sapphire eyes spotted the girl singing in the distance. His eyes widened by an inch after realizing whose silhouette was that. "It really is her..."

"Told you that it was her voice~" the blonde teased, chuckling slightly.

"Shut up. I know it's her, I'm just making sure," Masato remarked, closing his eyes in the process.

"Whatever you say, Hijirikawa," Ren shrugged and leaned on a tree.

The two decided to stick for a while and listen to the girl's singing. After all, this was their first time hearing her sing and the first time they ever heard her voice this angelic. Both males had a small smile on their faces.

'For you

Kitto kimi mo itsu no hi ka

Kono sora o toberu hazu dakara

Nando kizutsuita toshite mo

For you

Taisetsu na koto wa hitotsu

Yume miru koto

Hitomi dake wa sorasanaide ite'

A blue-haired android appeared from the other side of the garden, his face showed no emotion whatsoever. Along with him was the blonde count who looked very serious.

"I never thought that [Y/n] would be singing here," Camus stated, walking closer to hear her properly.

"I agree," Ai nodded. "Though it seems that we're not the only one who're listening while she sings. Look."

Camus's cerulean hues went from the trio of Tokiya, Otoya, and Cecil to Ren and Masato then lastly to Natsuki and Syo. The count scoffed and closed his eyes. However, he didn't appear as he was irritated, rather, he seemed to be delighted as shown by his small smile on his lips.

"Let them be. [Y/n]'s singing had the power to enchant her listeners; It's like magic."

"I can agree with that," a smile tugged the blunette's lips as well.

'Kimi ga egaku yuuki ga hora

Kakegae no nai takaramono ni kawaru yo

Ima ryoute hiroge Fly high'

"Heh~ I can't believe that I would be able to hear her sing again," Ranmaru mused, a grin etched on his face.

"You heard her sing before, Ran-Ran?" Reiji asked, catching up to the silverette who stopped a few meters away from the gazebo and stared at the person sitting on the bench.

"Yeah. Only once though."

Reiji fixated his gaze on the girl and decided to listen to her singing. The song sent warm sensations throughout both males' body and somehow, it made them happy inside. The brunette smiled and clenched his pounding heart.

"Your voice sends warmth to anyone..."

'Kitto kimi wa itsu no hi ka

Kono sora o toberu hazu dakara

Nando tsumazuita toshite mo

For You

Taisetsu na koto wa hitotsu

Yume miru koto

Kokoro dake wa tozasanaide ite'

As [Y/n] finished the last words, she heard new voices singing 'La~la~la~' in the background. Her lids shot open in surprise and saw the boys walking slowly towards the gazebo she was currently in. The [h/c]ette didn't stop, however, instead she continued to sing and hum the last part of the song.

She slowly closed her eyes again, feeling all emotions surging through her being and filled her with warmth and happiness. All 11 idols soon emitted their own warmth and it combined with her own, engulfing all of them.

At last the song has come to an end, her voice slowly died down as well as the boys. [Y/n] opened her eyelids and revealed [e/c] eyes staring back at her beloved idols' multicolored ones. She smiled brightly, blush painted her pale cheeks. All of them had smiles on their faces as well.

"For you..."

One and Only

English Translation:

Overwhelmed by huge waves

My struggling pride is so tiny

I innocently reach out

Aiming for the sunlight, never look back

The world is simpler than I imagined

I’m gonna wish “I want to live!” more

But my journey is longer than I imagined

I won’t hesitate anymore

I’m gonna shout out, One and Only

One more step forward, forward

I’ll puff my chest out, One and Only

I won’t let anyone imitate me

It’s like my buttons are slightly off

Even though this isn’t what I planned

The things important to me breaking

Feels like waking from a dream too soon

The world is more twisted than I imagined

The more I talk about it, the farther the truth gets

But my bonds are stronger than I imagined

C’mon c’mon, until the day we meet again

I’m gonna shout out, One and Only

One more step forward, forward

I’ll be sure to remember it, One and Only

A step just for myself

Oh yeah oh yeah I’m alive

I’m not alone, I can say that now

I hear your voice

Like a soft breeze

Oh yeah oh yeah and once again, Here I go

I can’t say that I haven’t lost anything

I have things I want to protect, after all

The way I’m trying to outrun my burdens

Is that really so bad?

I’m gonna shout out, One and Only

One more step forward, forward

I’ll get fired up, One and Only

A shout just for myself

Even you are One and Only

Another one can’t be found

It’s the genuine article, One and Only

This irreplaceable life

Oh yeah oh yeah I’m alive

I’m not alone, I’m sure of that

That warmth and those tear drops

Are like a gentle rain

Oh yeah oh yeah and once again, Here I go

Oh yeah oh yeah while singing, Here I go

Song title: Ima made Kitto Koi o Shita nda to Producer: MILTZ Vocaloid: Kaai Yuki Mood: soft, romantic, confessional Why you should listen: as a nice contrast to the creepy/sad kaai yuki tracks, here’s a cute love song!

[red-dyed-sarumane]

hi what are your vocacolle highlights so far if you have any beacuse i have been so busy i haven't been able to keep up and you seem like someone who would have good recs

i! dont know if theyre all to ur taste but my personal playlist includes

(the only remix i'll put here) hiiragi magnetite darling dance remix. it has a similar energy to like kyuuyaku hankagai or shuuen touhikou its very obviously their style

sheeno mirin's anata ni wa narenai. again very obviously their style. kinda similar sounding to their other songs like heterodoxy or shicchatta

meddmia's yacchae! fresh young. idk what to say about it its catchy and fun. good kafu miku song.

rukaku's mea?. i like the funky little interlude part. the key press animation during its neat too.

naisho no pierce's kakumei no moment. i think this counts as vocarap. im not big on luka personally but its neat & kafu & flower in the chorus sounds really good

zeeka's fukenzen monster. zeeka's sekai songs really hit a certain vibe with me & this ones no different. catchy i think.

yurame's candy crack. twinkly kind of sound if u like that. dont remember if this one made the ranking but worth a listen

rinri's usureru. this is Much calmer & quieter than the others i've put so far but its really good. its mostly rime but hime in the chorus isnt a combination ive thought of before but it Works i really like this one

akire's HERE!. ive never particularly vibed with his songs before but this one. this ones got a very nice sound. does this count as edm idk im bad with genres. miku sounds soft in it & it works u just have to trust me-

ǢǪ's R4. this is another lighter sounding one (not as much as the rime one but more so than the others) with a chimey type of sound. i think the animation in its fun.

wataru sena's sensitive ghost. this reminds me of yowanecity's songs & i mean that in a good way. it has that type of sound. high energy type song. good.

eo's EX!T. another fun high energy sounding song.

kitto, zutto, botti's warau wa. its not super similar to it but it has a line that shares a melody with their other song amaoto to, mau so they're probably definitely related but im not invested enough to make sure. its good on its own even if u havent heard the other tho.

zensen's dance deggee. if u like. electro swing. i think thats what zensen usually does. its good. perhaps another kafu song for ur playlist

to-ya's arigatou. most underrated song i have on my playlist right now. its good edm ur honor.

a4.'s zetsubou. spring kafu song. the animation's really nice too. dont expect anything like jeep its quite different

and i'll leave u with natsuyama yotsugi's akeruE. dopam!ne helped work on it too. got a fun sound. one of those fake languages songs & its got a counterpart song being posted later today too.

More of my photographer models

Brendan Kitto

Brendan Kitto is a photographer from Aotearoa, based in Whanganui. His work is a visual diary, showing what he finds intriguing in his surroundings – similar to me. I was drawn to his photography as there are lots of similarities between his subject matter and framing and my own. I particularly like his photos of buildings. He portrays his surroundings in such a hostile way which is really emphasised by his lack of colour. His images feel really bleak and the absence of human life in them really adds to that. I find his images really inspiring as my own photos deal with old buildings, no people and a brutal sort of setting. He captures this in such a simple yet interesting way which I’ve tried to practice in my own photography.  

David Cook

Although I've done previous research on David Cook, I went back a while ago and looked at what photos of his applied particularly to my own subject matter. Brutal at times (especially his Lake of Coal series), his documentary style photography is inspiring. I thought his use of line when photographing interior spaces was super interesting. I also loved his shots that photograph an exterior space through a window frame or door from an interior space - this is something I wanted to achieve in my own practice. I really like how he provides context of the interior while still including what's outside. His photo with the TV and the window is really interesting as the large creepy face on the TV contrasts the soft, suburban setting of both the outside and inside of the house.

Lucia Moholy

Lucia Moholy was a photographer that attended the German Bauhaus art school. While there, she documented the architecture of it. I was drawn to her because of her subject matter and the way she uses strong line, framing and depth of field to capture it. The compositions are very beautiful and calculated. Her use of light is also very strong - especially the way she's captured the shadows of the balconies and the shapes these create. I love the way she's framed the building on the bottom left as well - another exterior shot through interior which I love. The strong lines that lead to a vanishing point and the dark interior create such an interesting image.

Ann Shelton - Red Eye

NZ photographer, Ann Shelton, was originally from Wellington but then moved to Auckland to attend Elam, studying fine arts in the 90s. Although her subject matter doesn't align with mine, her book, Red Eye, documents K Road personalities in the 90s. I thought this would be worth looking at given that K Road is the location I'm focusing on. The name comes in part from the fact that during this time K road was a known red-light district and also the red-eye that shooting up close with the flash created. I find her work interesting as it captures the queer, creative, party culture that was prevalent on the road during this time - a lot of this still remains today. If I was to describe K Road, these are the photos I would show someone.

[fbwzoo]

ALSO Ditto literally scaled the entire height of the cat tree earlier by going up the corner with no platforms - just straight up the columns, with one pause halfway.

I very badly want to make this cat a catio with a big climbing structure/jungle gym of logs.

10 J-Dramas You Could Watch

The dramas I can’t get enough of. They’re a mix of comedic, romance, heartfelt, inspiration and the chemistry between characters are fun to watch!

1) Please Love the Useless Me (Dame na Watashi ni Koishite Kudasai)

After losing her job, 30 year old Michio (Kyoko Fukada) struggles to find a job and repay her debts. She’s having a mid life crisis as she’s not able to be normal like everyone her age, having a career, a lover, a house and more. 

But her life change when she runs into her former employer, Ayumu (Fujioka Dean) whom she hated for being mean when she was his employee. He left his corporate job to run his own café and employs Michio again!

Out of desperation, she accepted his offer to work part time at his café while she searches for a full time employment elsewhere. As she get to know him and his circle of friends, she realizes he is not the person she thought him to be.

2) A Story to Read When You First Fall in Love (Hajimete Koi o Shita Hi ni Yomu Hanashi)

Junko Harumi (Kyoko Fukada) was once a famous high school girl but her life changed drastically when she failed to enter the prestigious Tokyo University and her life has not gone smoothly since then into adulthood.

In the blink of an eye, she’s already 31. She struggles to find love and hates her job as a teacher at a private institute where she feels unappreciated by her students and overshadowed by other more capable teachers.

She began to wonder how her life became such as mess which was a far fetch from her young school days. But little does she know that the appearance of three men from her past and present will change her life forever.

3) Deep Love (Koi wa Deep ni)

Mio Nagisa (Satomi Ishihara) is a researcher and oceanographer who is passionate about the natural environment and wants to protect the marine life from the threats of humanity’s rapid urbanization and development.

Hasuda Rintaro (Go Ayano) is a son of a marine resort developer owner who is obsessed with developing an underwater tower at the seaside as a new tourist attraction but finds himself at odds with his brother in the same company.

When Mio is hired into the project to act as an environmental consultant, the two find themselves on the opposing sides. As the two tried to find out more about what motivates the other, they both discover a mysterious secret.

Weekly Vocajournal #12 (22/8 - 28/8)

Pretty stripped back this week since kinda busy. Been seeing RIME more and more often on my YT page, and while I haven't heard enough to form opinions about the VB, I did like:

inabakumori - Sinktank (ft. RIME)

I've always preferred their more upbeat songs, and this is one of them. RIME gels well with their style, unsurprising considering what inabakumori has used in the past. Which does make me wonder why they haven't done anything with KAFU yet, since it would go well with their style.

Gomennasai ga Ienakute - flow-flower (ft. Kagamine Len)

Very chill house. The first time I've heard them use Len, and it's cool that they didn't use his appends when they usually use Rin's soft on the more upbeat songs.

Studio Tiara - Illustrious (ft. Hatsune Miku)

I can't get enough of Studio Tiara's Miku Dark tuning, and my thirst is satiated with this song, which comes along with an album announcement for Miku's anniversary!

ashikakamoshika。 - Midnight Surf (ft. KAITO, MEIKO)

Playful lofi RnB with a pair that I don't see often in the genre. The simple but effective visuals by mitou tells a story that is easily understood and adds to the atmosphere. One of the few times where I was actually interested to watch the PV of a song.

Sheeno Mirin - I Have Determined to Make This Life Resound (ft. RIME)

Another great RIME song to come out this week. A bit more harried and more hopeful than Sheeno Mirin's other songs, which aren't bad things. Their use of RIME is very similar to their use of KAFU, which oddly enough helped me highlight the differences in their voices.

Other Cool Songs

YuudachiP - Rainy Rainy (ft. Yuzuki Yukari)

HitoshizukuxYama - Shikabane Hime to Fukushuu no Ouji

buzzG - Invisible in Summer (ft. Hatsune Miku)

Mass - Aoi Glass (ft. Kohaku Rikka)

Dios/SignalP - Yuugure, Totan Yane no Shita de (ft. CEVIO AI Suzuki Tsudzumi)

gaburyu, Adomiori - cure cure cure (ft. Hatsune Miku)

Kitto, Zutto, Bocchi. - Ujaku (ft. Yamine Renri): The PV release of their Mushoku Toumeisai entry

Iyowa - PRIMARY (ft. KAFU)

Hinayukki - TWILIGHT OATH (ft. MEIKO)

nyanyannya - Fraulein=Ojosama (ft. MEIKO)

cosMo - Ano Ko Mitai ni Aisaretai (ft. SEKAI)

For the hero ask thing, has anyone requested All Might yet? (Man needs some love if you ask me) -Kitto

Oooh no one has! I think I can agree with that! I’m going to be leaning towards Small Might here because that’s more of what he really is! 

Toshinori is a bit of a challenge to tackle because he kind of lives in two worlds so to speak. He’s idolized to the point that he’s no longer a person, he’s a symbol. But it was also by his own doing and choice and he did it because he wanted to help people and do his best. So that being said, I think this man has a HUGE body worship kink. Both giving and receiving.

If he’s receiving, he much prefers it in his normal body. His real one. It’s an act of intimacy that he absolutely craves since by and large he has lived his life holding up an image for other people. So to be adored just as he is would do so much for this man. In terms of giving body worship, he does it as his own appreciation for his partner. He wants to know and praise every inch of them and come to know them as they are just like they did for him. Overall I feel like this man is fairly fluffy and vanilla but is willing to try a few new things. But seriously he just wants soft and loving intimacy because it was something he couldn’t risk having for most of his life.

"We always hold hands, why are you acting weird?" And "Why didn't you say something sooner?" Prompts, my hero your pick of pairing please? If needed I can think of someone. -Kitto

Hope you don't mind reader insert, I originally started writing for Bakugou but then switched to Kirishima so i hope you like it, the italics is a little flash back.

thanks for playing💕💕💕💕💕💕

Kirishima's warm hand envelopes yours as you prepare to cross the street. A simple gesture that you would have accepted without thought not so long ago. Now though as his fingers slot into yours the action brings heat to your cheeks. You try to pull away as inconspicuously as possible, but the signal changes. Kirishima shoots a look your way giving you a soft smile and squeezing you gently as he guides both of you across the street. You pull away from him once you're safe on the other side, feigning interest in your phone while tucking your other hand in your pocket.  

Kirishima notices of course he notices but he doesn't mention the way you flinch away from his touch. It hurts him a little, but the hero doesn't give it much thought. Except it keeps happening, all day throughout your outing you seem to dodge his touch. Speeding up when he places a hand on the small of your back. Ducking away from his arm when he goes to pull you in as you wait for the train. An ache settling in his chest at your weird behavior, Kirishima's through running a mile a minute trying to remember if he might have upset you in any way. 

You're walking back to your complex when Kirishima finally says something. Standing in the cold at another crosswalk waiting for your signal to cross. You bring your hands up to your mouth attempting to bring some warmth to your cold fingertips. With a soft chuckle, Kirishima pulls your hand into his like he'd done a million times before only for you to pull away. 

His face drops visibly about your rejection and you avert your gaze from him. Kirishima sighs a hand coming out to caress your cheek rubbing the cold and meeting your eyes before speaking. 

"We always hold hands, why are you acting weird?" His words are ever soft as he searches your face for an answer. You feel horrible as you take him in, he looks like a kicked puppy confusion written all over his face. You pull away from his hold and offer him a half-hearted smile. The light signals to walk but neither of you make a move to continue your journey. 

"Nothing Kiri I just. I'm-" your voice wavers not wanting to express to your best friend that you've been in love with him for longer than you'd ever be willing to admit. Kirishima frown now gently tugging on your arm till you're facing him fully. Your face flushing as his massive warm hand cup either side of your face. 

You can't help the heat that creeps up to your cheeks pouting as you think back on the conversation you'd had with Mina a few nights before. 

"Want anything from the store," Kirishima asks as he shrugs on a jacket. You lean your head back on the couch to look at him and shake your head no as he comes up to you. "Ya sure?" He asks again, leaning down to kiss you on the forehead 

"Yeah, I'm good thanks bug" you coo smiling up at him as he heads out the door with Bakugou for a snack run. 

"You guys are so cute, I wish someone would look at me the way Kiri looks at you" Mina chirps from next to you and you sputter turning to look at the alien queen. 

"I-. Mina, what are you talking about?" You squeak shoving at your friend's knee.  

"You and Kirishima, about time too. I didn't think either of you would ever stop dancing around each other. But we're all happy for you." She teases poking at your cheek as your tummy flutters. 

"I-we no, we're just friends ." You stammer out face heating up in embarrassment. Mina's face drops a confused look taking over her features. 

"Ah I'm sorry, you guys just, Kirishima always holding your hand, or just generally is extra affectionate with you and I just figured."

You shake your head, the crush you'd shoved deep into the little closet in your heart suddenly resurfacing full force. 

"No, it's not like that."  You can't help the way it comes out in a whine. Averting Mina's gaze and your greatful that she doesn't try to push the subject.

Kirishima squeezes your cheeks gently and it brings you back to the present. Your eyes a little glossy as you look up at the man you've been in love with for so long now. 

"I- Mina said. And I don't want. You're so good to me and I don't wanna ruin it." The words start tumbling from your lips before you can help yourself. Kirishima panics for a second before bringing you in close for a hug tucking your face against his chest. You quickly wrap your arms around him on instinct. Settling against his warmth with a sigh. 

"It's ok, take a breath what the hell did Mina say?" Kirishima asks, stroking your hair as you pull away from him. Refusing to meet his eyes, instead, you tug at the strings of his hoodie. 

"I think…" you pause taking a breath squirming in his hold before peaking up at him through your lashes. 

"Kiri I love you" His hand finds its way up to your face again. Tilting your chin up so he can take a good look at your face. Your eyes are watery and you don't wanna look at him. 

"I love you too darling." Kirishima chuckles and you pout

"Eijiro that's not what I mean" you pout trying to pull your face away but he doesn't let you. Instead, he leans down to capture your lips in a gentle kiss. You squeak in surprise and Kirishima pulls away pink dusting his cheeks and the tips of his ears. He leans his forehead against yours with a big goofy grin on his face. 

"I've loved you since Mina brought you into my life so long ago. I've loved you for so long, but I didn't know if you felt the same way." You pull away a little, searching ruby eyes for any hint of dishonestly. Not that you think Kirishima would ever lie to you, but you couldn't help it. 

"Why- why didn't you say something sooner?" You mumble and Kiri sighs rubbing your cold cheek with his thumb. 

"I was too scared to ever ruin our friendship over something like that. I didn't wanna lose you and if that meant just being best friends for the rest of our lives then I was ok with that." Kirishima admits in a soft little voice and your heart pounds in your chest. "Not very manly of me huh?" He chuckles 

You throw your arms around your best friend and he laughs hugging you tight. Tears spilling over as you bury your face in his neck. You hold each other for a moment before Kiri puts you down, cooing softly as he wipes your tears away with hearts in his eyes, a toothy grin on his face. 

"Awe baby you're leaking" he chuckles and you snort out a laugh rubbing your eyes and shoving him a little. Not that the brick wall of a man even moves. You take a shaky sigh and smile up at him. Kirishima looks over at the light just as it signals to cross. He pulls you into his side and you start up your walk again snuggling against your best friend. 

"Come inside and I'll make tea," You say as you stand in front of your building. Kiri smiles swooping down to capture your lips again in a shy little kiss. 

"We've got some talking to do huh?" You smile tugging him back down when he pulls away and capturing his lips again. A happy warmth filling you as you pull away from each other resting your foreheads together and giggling like love-struck idiots.

Characters: Kairi, Sora

Hey, everyone! I’m back again for Day 3 of @sokaiweek​, this time for the prompt “Melody”! I’m in the mood for baby lovin’ after babysitting some young-uns, so, enjoy this sweet kid fic!

“Shh, shh, shh, shh,” Kairi shushed as she hurried into the room, speaking over her baby’s frantic wails and sobs. She lowered the side of the crib so she could lean down and scoop up her daughter, holding her tenderly to her chest while she slowly rose up. “That’s it, that’s it,” she soothed while she patted her infant’s back. Her little hands pawed at Kairi’s nightgown, bunching the pink fabric in her chubby fingers to ground herself. Kairi bounced her up and down and twisted her body back and forth, and the baby’s loud wails finally settled into pathetic whimpers and sniffles. 

“That’s it,” she hummed, pulling back to gently push her daughter’s auburn curls out of her face. “Did you have a nightmare, my love?” Of course, her daughter couldn’t reply, but her wandering gaze and watery eyes were enough of an answer. “I know, my darling, my little Hikari. The world is scary, huh?” Kairi smiled, and her baby just warbled sadly. “I know. I have them too, sometimes. Someday I’ll tell you all about it… About the adventures of your father and I.” 

Hikari’s cheeks began to redden as she began to cry again, so Kairi began to tut over her pitiful cries.

“Don’t worry, my love, I’m here.” She guided Hikari’s head to rest on her shoulder, continuing to bob and swish and bounce on her way to the white rocking chair in the corner. “I’m here,” she murmured again while she sank down onto the lace-edged cushion. The wood creaked under her weight, and then the plush stuffing of the pillow relaxed to nestle her in comfort. 

“That’s it,” she said again when Hikari finally quieted down, resting against her body and looking up at her with those blue, blue eyes. She’d always thought Hikari had her father’s eyes, blue like the glittering ocean surrounding their island home. Of course, Sora always turned it around on her, saying that Hikari’s eyes were like Kairi’s, the brilliant azure of the sky. Really, Hikari’s eyes were just a representation of everything else she was— their beautiful baby, their perfect union, their gorgeous harmony of love. 

“Donna tokidatte, tada hitoride, unmei wasurete, iketekitanoni,” Kairi sang softly. She used her toes to begin gently rocking the chair back and forth. She stroked Hikari’s silky-soft strands of hair as she sang, smiling serenely, and her heart swelled as her daughter’s lips inched up into a smile of her own. “Totsuzen no hikari no naka megasameru, mayonakani.” 

Hikari cooed happily as Kairi leaned in to nuzzle her daughter’s nose with her own while she finished the verse. Kairi had known many joys in her life, but Hikari’s bubbly laughter was perhaps one of the greatest. Hikari’s cheek was as smooth as velvet as Kairi stroked it gently with her finger, appreciating the rosy hue of life flooding the skin. Hikari’s eyes gleamed as she watched her mother sing to her in a soft voice, those brilliant blues full of admiration and trust and reverence. It was a look Kairi would never tire of. 

“Shizukani, deguchini tatte, kurayami ni hikari wo ute,”  she continued, fingers skipping down from her daughter’s face to her little chest, where she tickled her. Hikari squealed before giggling loudly, prompting Kairi to laugh too because those sweet little laughs were just so infectious. She then rubbed Hikari’s belly to settle her back down, continuing to sing, “Imadoki yakusoku nante, fuan ni saseru dakekana, negai wo kuchi ni shitaidake sagasou kunimo, shoukai suruyo kitto umaku ikuyo…”

Finally, Hikari’s eyes began to drift shut. Her breathing evened out even as she fought to stay awake, but Kairi’s melody never failed to lull her daughter back into a restful sleep. Kairi leaned down to kiss her forehead, then sang against her skin, “Donna tokidatte, zutto futaride, donna tokidatte, soba ni irukara kimi to iu hikari ga watashi wo mitsukeru, mayonakani…”

Her voice drifted off into silence, and then the only sound was her daughter’s slow, even breathing. Kairi smiled, tears glittering in her eyes from the sheer amount of love welling up inside her, and then kissed her daughter’s head. Carefully, slowly, she stood up from the chair to walk back to the crib. She laid Hikari down on the plush cushioning and covered her with her baby blanket, then turned on the mobile with palm trees, paopu fruits, and seagulls above her head. A sweet tune began to play from the speakers as colorful lights danced across the plastic. Even after Kairi had pulled the crib’s bars back up, she stood at the side of the crib to watch her daughter sleep. 

She had no idea Sora had been standing in the doorway the whole time until he murmured, “I love it when you sing to her.” 

She looked over her shoulder with a sweet smile, then looked back to the slumbering Hikari. Sora’s steps were careful as he walked up behind her to wrap his arms around her middle and rest his chin on her shoulder, joining his beloved in watching their daughter sleep. “She looks like an angel,” he smiled, then turned into her neck to lovingly nibble at her skin. Kairi giggled at the ticklish caress, reaching up to play with his sleep-mussed hair, which was even spikier than usual. 

“You don’t think she’s much of an angel when you’re changing her diapers,” she joked, and Sora scrunched his nose up in disgust. Changing dirty diapers was an aspect of fatherhood that he was still adjusting to, but she couldn’t blame him; they were pretty stinky. Still, there were a thousand other things about his relationship with Hikari that made up for that. She loved watching him play with her when he gave her a bath, and the way he babbled to her in that sweet sing-song baby talk, and danced with her around the room until she was literally screaming with delight. 

“Look, I’m sorry, but whatever comes out of Hikari’s bottom is like toxic waste,” Sora smirked as he nuzzled further into her neck, giving her a squeeze. Kairi just laughed, because she kind of had to agree. “Still an angel, though, even if her diapers are stinky. Our perfect little angel.” 

“Our perfect little angel,” she echoed, and despite the circumstances, Kairi’s heart still fluttered at the word “our.” Even now, the idea that she was spending her life with this perfect man, that they had this perfect baby, that they had this perfect life— it just filled her with so much joy that she just had to let it out in the form of tears lest she explode. 

“Hey,” Sora crooned when he realized she’d started silently crying again. She sniffed as he turned her face so he could kiss the tears away, smiling all the while. “What is it?” 

“I’m just— I’m just so happy,” she laughed, knowing it was kind of silly but unable to help it. Sora would never laugh at her, though, not when he was a big ol’ crybaby himself. Purring, Sora turned her around in his arms so he could press a kiss to her forehead, then her nose, then to each of her cheeks, and then finally her lips. Then he looked at her with those deep blue sea eyes, those eyes like their daughter’s, those eyes full of so much love it was suffocating in the best way. 

“I’m happy too, Kairi. I”m so happy I can share this wonderful life with you,” he whispered. He grabbed her hands so he could entwine their fingers together, and then he brought him to his mouth so he could kiss those, too. She couldn’t help but laugh as she lavished her in affection, just like he always did. He was nothing if not full of love. 

“Donna tokidatte, tada hitoride, unmei wasurete, iketekitanoni,” he sang in a raspy, kind of off-key voice against her palm, making her snort in laughter. His eyes glittered as he continued to sing in that low voice, and it made her smile so hard that her cheeks ached a little. But like heck she was going to ask him to stop. As he sang the next verse, she sang with him: “Totsuzen no hikari no naka megasameru, mayonakani.” 

“Your voice is definitely prettier than mine,” he laughed, and she dropped her head with a snicker. When she looked back up, she pressed a kiss to his chin, making his smile widen. 

“I think you still did a good job,” she said, and he preened under her praise. She’d always had such a way of giving him a big head with just the simplest of words. Or maybe it was just every word she said was magic to him, the sap. Oh, but he was her sap, and she was kinda sappy for him, too. 

She wasn’t sure if it was the lullaby or just the fact it was the early hours of the morning, but Kairi’s eyes began to droop, too. Sora noticed, and promptly bundled her into his arms, making her jump up to wrap her legs around him. She showered his face in pets and kisses as he carried her out of the nursery back to their shared bedroom. 

Just as they were snuggling back into bed, Hikari’s shrill cries echoed through the house, and Kairi had to laugh at the futility of sleep. As she prepared to get back out of bed, Sora pushed on her shoulders to get her to lay back down. 

“But she won’t go to sleep without the lullaby,” she said as Sora slipped out of bed, stretching his arms above his head with a yawn. 

“I know. I gotta practice, and besides, it’s push-and-pull, right? It ain’t fair if you do all the work.” 

“I think you just wanna get out of diaper duty tomorrow,” she teased, and Sora snorted in response. 

“Just go to bed,” he laughed while shoving a pillow into her face. Kairi rolled over, hugging the pillow to her chest as she rolled onto her side. She watched Sora walk off back down the hall, and as she melted gratefully into the bed, Hikari’s cries quieted. Soon, they were replaced with the soft voice of Sora singing, and Kairi’s eyes drifted shut with a smile. 

Our perfect little life, she thought again, and it really was.
