LOVE CHANGES

A/N: This is like the continuation of my previous post Love and So... There's this girl. But it can be read without reading them too. Though I'd like you to check it out and tell me how I do.

Pairing: Lee Minho x reader

Genre: Fluff, crack

Warning: Reader is a well known fashion designer, Han being extremely dramatic,

Synopsis: Its been 6 months since you and Minho dated which means 6 months since Minho has been acting 'suspicious'

It has been too long. Too long since Minho started acting really, really suspicious.

Han occasionally peeked at Minho who sat across from him at the dance studio, smiling at his phone.

Why is he smiling?

Minho had been acting so, so, so weird lately. And Jisung had noticed it since the beginning. He was acting really suspicious.

How?

Well, since when did Minho start to randomly smile at his phone while texting? Since when did he start to wear bracelets? That too, that had a sparkly sun in it. It looked like something he would wear but when Han asked if he could burrow it, he was met with a stern glare and a cold 'no'.

Minho's been too excited to go home these days too. Like, he had something better to do than just lay on his bed and dream about his cats. Whenever the gang decides to eat a takeout and just go home together, Minho would deny and say he had to go home now.

Go home to do what?!

Now, Jisung watched as Minho once again smiled at his phone then started typing. He stood up from his seat and strided towards Minho.

"Who are you texting?" Minho immediately pulled the phone on his chest, like hiding it from him.

"No one. " He answered, the smile he saw just now long gone and he had this serious poker resting bitch face.

"You were smiling." Han stated, eying him suspiciously. Minho raised his brow at his friend's odd behaviour.

"I was?"

"Yes, you were. "

A silence followed after with both party in different reason. Han looked at Minho like he was a puzzle he was trying to solve and Minho looked at Han like he just lost his marbles.

"What's up with you?" Minho asked, trying to fake a laugh to lighten the awkward situation.

Jisung scoffed," What's wrong with me? No. What's wrong with you? "

His tone raised and attracted the attention of the other hyung line present in the room. They gave each other a knowing look and continued minding their own business while keeping their ears wide open.

"You're acting weird. " Han told him.

"How?"

"You're smiling randomly at your phone and you never wear bracelets especially the ones with sparkly sun draped around it!" He looked so serious it almost looked like a couple bickering.

"Can I not just smile at my phone and change my interest?" Minho asked back, getting up to meet Han's eyes. He found all these so ridiculous and amusing.

"No," Jisung shook his head ," you can't. Not you. "

"What are you trying to imply by that, hm?"

"That YOU ARE CHEATING ON ME WITH A REALLY PRETTY WOMAN!!" He screamed, sobbing onto the floor.

Minho's eyes widened at the accusations or rather the fact as all his members looked at them. Eyes wide, jaw dropped. Hyunjin let out a dramatic gasp and he could see Seungmin smirk from the corner of his eyes.

"Lee know, you are what?" Hyunjin asked, clenching his heart. Minho rolled his eyes but shot them wide open when even his hyung joined.

"You're cheating on Hannie with a woman?" Bang Chan asked, eyes wide.

"Why are you emphasizing the woman so much?"

"That means you are dating a woman!!" Felix screeched, pointing an accusing finger to Minho.

And before he knew it, all his members had surrounded him, sitting in a circle and asking him numerous questions.

"Who's the girl? Come on, tell us!" Changbin pleaded, taking Minho's arm and squeezing it like a little girl.

"Is she an idol? Is she pretty? Wait, do we know her?" Felix seemed just as excited as a teenage girl.

"You cheater!" Han scoffed, "is she prettier than me?"

"I can't really imagine you dating a girl or doing anything romantic." Jeongin stated, chuckling dryly. Seungmin agreed, scrunching up his nose while looking at Minho.

"Aish! You guys are so annoying!! Why are you so interested in my love life?! "Minho groaned, shaking Felix and Changbin off his arms.

"Then just tell us her name and her Instagram id and we'll ask her on our own. " Hyunjin suggests, rolling his eyes like it was an obvious thing.

Tch, as if.

"No way in hell you're getting anything of her, Hyunjin. " Minho simply stated.

"Why not??!! Come on....... Show us a picture? Is it true? Did she get you this bracelet?" Felix asked, touching the silver metal wrapped around his wrist. Minho extracted his hand quickly like Felix had a disease or something.

"I'd rather not hear it, to be honest." Seungmin muttered, like anyone was stopping him from walking out the wide open door. But he stayed seated, next to Jeongin.

"Okay, okay, guys, I think you should leave him alone." Bang Chan chimes. A few groans left their mouths. Mostly changbin, Felix and Hyunjin.

"Oh, come one. Don't be such a party pooper. Don't you wanna know who got Minho hyung's heart?" Changbin said, making a heart in his fingers and placing it in front of Minho's chest.

"If you just tell me who the girl is, I'll forgive you. " Jisung added. Minho rolled his eyes.

"I actually do want to know, though." Bang Chan agreed. Minho could only groan now as his only saviour gave him an apologetic yet teasing grin. He let out a sigh of defeat and looked around at his members who looked back at him with eagerness.

"Fine. " He groaned, " I am dating a girl. "

A teasing whistle echoed and Minho felt someone nudging his shoulder. Probably Felix. He didn't care to look. They continued to stare at him like curious kittens so he continued.

"Who is it?"

"(y/n). (Y/n) (L/n)." Minho replied simply.

"Wait, you mean the designer (y/n)?" Hyunjin asked, eyes wide. Minho simply nodded,"are you kidding me?! I'm wearing her autumn collection shirt right now!" He shrieks, pulling his shirt to show everyone the white sweatshirt he wore.

"Seriously?! You're dating her?! For how long?" Changbin asked.

"It's been 6 months, I think. " Minho said, calculating in his mind.

"You've been dating for 6 months and never mentioned her to us?!" Jisung asked, too dramatically for Minho's liking.

"I did mention her all the time. Remember the friend I went to dinner with? The park? The museum?" He rolled his eyes, trying to remind Jisung of the hints he dropped.

"You just said it was a friend . You never mentioned the friend's gender. " Jisung said defensively. Minho rolled his eyes for like the 10th time tonight.

"I can't believe (y/n) would date someone like you. " Seungmin commented, earning a glare from Minho.

"What do you mean by that?"

"Nothing. Just that, she's so...... Cheerful and loud, in a good way of course. And you're just gloomy and boring. " Seungmin nonchalantly added like it was a fact everyone knew. Minho gave him a somewhat offensive side eye.

"Yeah. I've seen her interviews, she's really cute and lively. Like a sunshine!" Felix added, which sparked a lightbulb above Jisung's head.

"Sunshine?! Is that why you have a sunshine bracelet?! Is it a couple's one? Oh my god!!" Jisung's exaggeration made a few laughs and a few rolled their eyes," which one does she have?! A star?! A moon?!"

"A moon. " Minho replied.

"Do you have a picture together?" Jeongin asked, ignoring the shocked Jisung beside him.

"I think so. " Minho said, unlocking his phone to search for a picture of both of you.

"Hate to chime in but are we allowed to date right now?" Seungmin cut in. All of them looked at him with a glare that said 'not now'. But he just shrugged.

"The dating ban is actually lifted for us. " Chan started," but the fan's reaction may not be very pleasant. Plus, she has her own fans. I heard they are quite protective."

"Who knows you might end up bald and jobless like the last guy she had dating scandal with" Seungmin added, snickering like it was the funniest joke he had ever heard.

"Shut up now Seungmin," Hyunjin said, nudging him by the shoulder," Hyung, tell us about her more. "

"Is she the reason you started drinking coffee too?" Jisung once again questioned, earning a nod from Minho.

"I think so," Minho recalled," we actually met at a coffee shop. " "So, love at first sight?" Felix asked, making a heart sign. Minho shook his head and looked straight ahead. Lost in thought. "It wasn't exactly love at first sight but something similar. The first time we spoke, I felt it. An ache, like a little electric burn. I felt my life change. " "Fate, huh. 'Cause what the heck were you doing in a coffee shop if you don't drink one?" Changbin questioned.

"I don't know. I just felt like I had to go there. Something was so alluring. " "Cringe. " Jeongin snarked. "You seem happier, though," Seungmin stated, others nodded along with him," In the last 6 months, you really changed. "

"Yeah, I haven't gotten any threats to be put in the air fryer in a while. " Hyunjin remarked, making the others laugh including Minho. "I can do that now if you want, Hyunjin. " "No, I'm good, actually." "Is no one gonna come to the fact that my husband has been cheating on me for the last 6 months?" Jisung interject. "Well, (Y/n) is actually very similar to you, Hannie. She is, in fact, just like you. She stuffs her face with food and she fall asleep anywhere. She sucks at cooking too. " Minho mentioned. "Are you saying she has all my bad qualities?" "Bad? No way, she's literally perfect. Those are cute qualities. You should've seen your faces when you're passes out on the chair." "It's to die for." Changbin added.

"So, you're not leaving me?" Jisung asked, pouting. "As long as we're in the same group, I'll have to be with you even if I don't wan to. " "So I'm still your baby?" "You were never my baby!"

"Stop it, you guys! It's disgusting," Jeongin coughed," But, we'd like to meet (y/n). " "Yeah, call her here! " Felix exclaimed after he was done listening to all of them. "Yeah, I want her autograph!" Hyunjin added earning some side eyes from others ," what? like you don't have all her summer collection too, Seungmin" "What? shut up!" Seungmin blushed having his secret revealed. "I think I'll ask her. " Minho said. "She really did changed you, huh Minho?" Bang Chan giggled, seeing Minho's cheeks turn red. "OOOOOOOOOOhhhhhhhhhhh~~~~~," Changbin sang," I see someone is blushing, huh~~~~"

The other members upon hearing that, looked at their Hyung with the same teasing smirk and started to tease him. "Minho hyung seemed a lot happier, right?" Jisung said, watching others tease Minho. "Yeah. I can't wait to meet (y/n). She must be so special. " Bang Chan agreed. "I still didn't agreed to sharing him, though. " "WhAT?"

Hello there! Could i request a husk x magician reader? (Romantic)

Maybe they used to work for him at the casino and got their soul sold as part of the deal he made with alastor. Now they are stuck as a housekeeper in the hotel

Reader has illusion magic and thats where most of their tricks come from, but they also are very skilled at sleigh of hand and more traditional tricks.

I just thought it might be cute to have a magical s/o, since he canonically has a soft spot for magic and tricks, supposedly being one of the few things that melt his stonecold heart.

Husk remembered well the day he met you.

You strutted into his casino like you owned the place and honestly, you might as well have.

You sat down in front of him. Him, the owner and (at the time) overlord of the place.

The two of you played several games with relatively low stakes.

He enjoyed your company. He liked having you around.

He caught you cheating a couple times in games against other people. He didn’t say anything. It’s not like you were being unsubtle about it. The only reason he noticed was because he did those same tricks.

It made gambling with you fun because neither of you could pull your tricks. It was truly a lick of the draw.

Things went like that for a while.

Until Husk’s cage cashier quit. He’d been grumbling about it under his breath when you offered to play a round with him. If he won, he’d get a new one and if you won, you reaped all the benefits of being a soul of his without the price.

When he won, you cursed under your breath. He offered to sweeten the deal by giving you those benefits you wanted if you won the next round. If he won though, you still got the benefits but he got your soul.

He had a cage cashier and a soul in his hands. Until he didn’t. Until you got a front stage view of his loss to Alastor of not just his soul but all the ones he owned too.

You didn’t speak to him for months.

Oh, you yelled at him and oh, he deserved it.

Alastor seemed rightly entertained by your quarreling and deliberately paired the two of you up to watch.

When you could finally look each other in the eye without breaking into a fight, Alastor stopped.

You both sort of just stopped seeing each other then. Without Alastor forcing you and with too many mixed emotions seeing each other gambling, you went your separate ways.

The hotel brought you back together and with years past since then, it was like you’d never fallen out in the first place.

Husk watched you entertain Niffty with illusions and have Charlie in awe right beside her.

He smiled and gave an occasional suggestion.

“Remember in ‘79 when you did that dragon and scared the shit out of those imps.” “Ha! Yeah, I do.”

He found himself enamored with you once again.

Any kind of game night had people fighting over who was going to get paired up with either one of you.

Normally, you’d be paired together and you won nearly every damn time.

On the occasion that it was a game without teams, Husk would magically find himself with some of the best items.

He’d look at you but you’d never look back or if you did, you had a damn good poker face but still, he knew it was just that.

[fiveredlights]

I can't lie, I'm obsessed with your daniel ricciardo: team principal fic so I'd like to hear what's to come please? :3 probably cheating by asking about 2 fics in one but is the inception one Maxiel as well? Because oh boy I would love to hear about it too...

I'm sorry, you write so well I just want to hear about all of them now :D

daniel team principal au:

Max nods slowly, blinking a couple times as he searches for what to say. Daniel reaches across the table with his palm up and Max slides his hand in without hesitation.

Easily, one might say.

“I think maybe we have already gone through all the difficult bits so we deserve the easy things now,” Max says simply.

inception au:

When Max finds Daniel he’s lounging on a beach chair, wearing some god awful designer patterned silk set, sunglasses low on his nose, nursing a beer, rolling his three sided die in between his fingers.

And he’s got that fucking moustache again.

the interlude/summer break chapter is basically just max and daniel sitting down being like whatever shit we’ve held in to each other over the past couple of years needs to come out because i think they both know they’re probably exiting summer break in a different type of relationship.

like they probably know they love each other but this is the final hurdle to cross that bridge so they don’t enter a relationship with ghosts that pop back up halfway through!

inception au my (not so secret now) beloved child that mainly exists in my head… it’s basically if arthur and eames were together and the main focus of the movie but with maxiel. it’s a very loose interpretation of the movie, like the characters aren’t 1 to 1 but the whole dreaming stuff is roughly the same. no dead wives or estranged children they do it for the money and for the fact if they pull this off toto or whoever the client is will wipe their ledgers clean.

sebastian and lewis run the whole thing, and they recruit charles (the ariadne) as the architect etc. he’s a little bit infatuated with sebastian and daniel laughs his ass off when he watches charles realise that lewis is seb’s husband. whoops. alex and george are also there, alex as the chemist and george as the money.

maxiel are in a ??? relationship, like a friends with benefits that hate each other but also flirt with each other until their dying breath but also only ever fuck with each other. so dating but without ever saying the word dating otherwise both of them will run. max is the arthur, daniel the eames and their totems match—daniel has a 3 sided die and max has a poker chip with 33 white squares on the outer ring (because i’m annoying like that)

the actual inceptioning itself is something ridiculous like toto hiring them to intercept into christian or zak’s mind to get them to sign one of the mercedes drivers because toto doesn’t wanna fire them (because 💰) so he thinks paying this group to perform a complicated and never done before inception is easier… yeah rich people are weird but anyways

Masterlist

Weeks passed and your life seemed like it got better with each day. The sadness from your last breakup faded away slowly but surely. You had Mingyu now, and you’ve been spending time together whenever he could. It was the same story all over again with his busy schedule, dating an idol, missing him, feeling lonely at night.

Your feelings for him started to flourish and you felt closer and closer. It just felt comfortable, felt right. The trust was there already, you knew he would do anything for you. He even dropped his friendship with Jungkook for you, because he felt you were being played.

How did you feel dating one of the most wanted men in the country? Hell, you were ecstatic. He would bring you flowers or gifts every time you would see each other, he would cook for you, spoil you in all ways, make plans for the future, and he was just such a happy positive person.

I mean, was this dating? Were you a couple? You never talked about that, you just kept seeing each other and having amazing sex. But you were falling in love with him and you felt loved.

He would always insist that you went to all his concerts, he had a thing for fucking you after. So he was desperate to fly you wherever he was touring, find you a room in the exact hotel he was staying at. He was always sneaking out of his room at night and come to your room to fuck you dumb. And you loved it.

Today was one of those days when you would get at the hotel after the concert and you would wait for him in your room. But in stead of having dinner only the two of you, he came to pick you up and go to the hotel’s restaurant which was pretty empty. Only the members were there and a part of the staff. You felt shy, it was the first time when he would bring you to a gathering while being his gf.

You both sat at the table where most of the members were, you all greeted each other. They seemed pretty shocked to see you there, so you had to ask Mingyu if they knew about your relationship. He just nodded and changed the subject really fast.

Was really late in the night, around 2 AM when they decided to move to a room and they chose Dino’s room. They dragged you along with them, promising there will be fun games. And to be honest, you always wanted to play mafia with them, and it’s the game you suggested.

At this point, you felt a bit more comfortable around them, plus you had some to drink so you felt pretty social. DK was being very loud, as usual, just singing when you least expected. Dino and Mingyu seemed pretty drunk but at the same time they can drink a lot, till the morning and still be able to walk. Joshua and Seungkwan were drunk too, but they were quiet. Seungcheol kept on being clingy with the members, while Hoshi was fucked, face red, holding DK’s hand and kissing it. The others were pretty chill, maybe just tipsy.

Mafia started and you knew it will get so funny that you’ll die laughing. You were chosen as a mafia, along with Cheol and Hoshi, but you were very confident in your acting skills. You had a great poker face too.

The first round was just chaos. You tried to be quiet and pretend to observe to see who’s acting weird enough to point them as mafia. Then all of the sudden, Hoshi gets up and points at you.

Hoshi: You!!! You are a mafia, aren’t you?

You were flabbergasted. Like…he was supposed to be in your team. Did the idiot forget you were both mafia?

Y/N: Me? Why me?

Hoshi: I think you have been really quiet, and you know…the quiet ones end up being the mafia.

Y/N: That makes no sense, I am quiet all the time.

Seungcheol: That’s right, she’s just a quiet person. What do you expect her to do, jump on chairs?

Cheol was trying to put some sense into Hoshi and keep me in the game. And for the moment it worked, you thought he remembered that we were on the same team.

Y/N: But you know what’s the good thing about being quiet? You can observe others behavior. And I think I know who the mafia is.

Mingyu: Who? Who?

Y/N: Wonwoo has been incredibly quiet, don’t you think?

Everyone jumped in agreement, he was really quiet tonight. So when all had to chose someone to kill, Wonwoo was the group’s choice. But of course he was just a villager. You pretended to act shocked and sad about it. Then the mafias had to decide who to kill and the three of you raised your heads. Cheol kept making faces at Hoshi for coming after you and decided to take DK out.

For round 2, it seemed that a little group formed and Jeonghan was very serious about Hoshi being the mafia. He even convinced others to chose the same. You and Cheol tried to put it on someone else, but didn’t work, everyone was just following Jeonghan.

Hoshi: Ok, I am the mafia. And! I will tell you another mafia if you keep me in the game.

Everyone was screaming, laughing, on the floor. You just knew he will pick you. Cheol went to Hoshi to pull on his shirt and ask him if he’s really going to say it, laughing to mask the fact that he was also a mafia.

Hoshi: Y/N! she’s the mafia!

You tried to convince them that he was trying to take a villager out and not to trust him, but in the end they chose to take you out and keep him.

Seungkwan: Wait a minute! Y/N, if you tell us who’s the third mafia, we will let you live.

Y/N: I’m not some traitor like others.

You were giving the stinky eye to Hosi. God, you could not stand hm at this point. What the hell was his problem? So they took you out and you went to sit next to Wonwoo while they were cheering for taking a mafia out. Mingyu gave you a pouty face and you went to whisper in his ear that you will go to your room to sleep. You wished everyone good night and left.

You were fuming. Not because of a silly game, but because Hoshi did it intentionally. You knew it, it was so obvious he didn’t like you. Next time, you decided to stick up for yourself in front of him and stop being such a plant.

A shower was the best idea to calm down, so you turned the hot water on and got naked. After not even 5 minutes, as you were washing yourself, you felt someone grabbing your waist from behind. That made you jump and push him back, but he was too strong for you. After one second, you thought it must be Mingyu, since he had the second card to your room.

Mingyu: I dropped the game and came right away.

Y/N: Only because you are horny and want to get your dick wet.

Mingyu: And because I like you.

You were already angry because of stupid Hoshi, so you thought it was the perfect moment to ask Mingyu what was going on between you two. So you pushed yourself and turned to him.

Y/N: Gyu, why do you like me? You like me as a friend, as a fuckbuddy, as a gf? What do you want from me? I think we need to talk about this. I need to know what I am to you.

He was a little surprised about the questions, but he knew that one of these days you will need to talk about your relationship.

Mingyu: I like you as a person, friend, fuckbuddy and gf, all together. I mean, we are together, aren’t we? I have only been seeing you, no one else.

Y/N: Mingyu, I have feelings for you and I really don’t want to play games. I had my heart broken already so many times, and the last time you were there. You know how much it hurt, you saw me at my worst. If you’re not going to be exclusive with me, tell me now and let’s end this.

Mingyu: Where is this coming from? Baby, I promise I have been seeing only you these weeks since our first night together, and I plan to keep it that way. You’re my girl and I love you.

At that point, all the frustration you were keeping inside just made you cry. You hugged him and cried in the shower. He made sure to help you wash, dry you and put you into bed. Then he kept you close into his arms and gave you the sweetest kisses.

Mingyu: Please don’t be sad, I am not going anywhere. I am yours, as you are mine.

And his words came out in such a tender voice that made you melt and you just wanted him more. So you grabbed his ridiculously handsome face and kissed him passionately, like there was no tomorrow. Your hands moving all over his body wish rush. Under his t-shirt, under his shorts. You loved how receptive he was to you, how fast he would get hard for you.

Y/N: Gyu. I need you. Need to feel you now.

He pulled you on top of him and pulled his shorts down. The tip of his cock was right on your entrance, rubbing slowly.

Mingyu: Shit, you’re wet already. All for me. Ride me baby. Ride my cock, use it, cum on it.

His hands were holding your waist and he was helping you sink down on his length, pushing slightly. You were a hot mess, moaning his name on repeat, feeling every inch of him going deeper. You wanted to see him, watch his beautiful face react to you fucking him, so you lifted yourself off his chest and put your hands on his thighs, leaning a bit back.

He could see the show, how his cock was going in and out of your pussy and how wet you were. your hips were moving slowly over him, in circles, trying to make yourself cum. his hands went to your ass, squeezing it hard, as his high was approaching fast.

Y/N: God, right there, like that.

Mingyu: You look so beautiful right now and I don’t think I’ll be able to keep it much longer.

Y/N: Want me to cum on your cock, baby? Tell me!

Mingyu: Ahhh, you’re so bad. You take me so good, so good for me. Cum on my cock, baby!

Y/N: Tell me how much you want it.

Mingyu: Pleaseee! Please, princess, I wanna feel you clench around me.

Y/N: Then watch me cum all over that dick.

You kept rotating your hips over his lap, faster, sinking into him deeper and you came so hard that you couldn’t keep your eyes open. Your fingers were grasping on his skin so tight. Your orgasms kept on washing over you, the intensity made you lean over his chest, your hands around his neck, squeezing it tight.

Somehow, that action made his cock twitch inside you and you felt him spill his cum deep and hard. He was a moaning mess too, so loud when he came. But you didn’t stop. Oh no, you kept riding him, still clenching the fuck out of his cock.

Mingyu: Baby, please.

Y/N: Please, what?

Mingyu: So sensitive,  I can’t…

Y/N: I know you can fill me up again.

Your hands were more rough on his neck right now. And he filled you with his seed once again, in seconds.

Mingyu: Ohh shit! Fuck! So good!

Both of you were spent and stopped from moving. But you were into a slow passionate kiss now.

Y/N: I didn’t know you were into being choked?

Mingyu: Me either, but I really loved it.

After you showered and got back into bed to sleep, you remembered he told you he loved you earlier that night when he came back to your room. And you needed to let him know that you feel the same, so knowing he was not asleep yet, you got close to his ear and whispered you loved him too.

Mingyu: I know.

And he gave you a sweet kiss.

Now it was easier, knowing exactly where you two stand. Hana was happy for you. So happy that she would keep you posted with all the gossip about your new bf. There were a lot of rumors about him and other female idols, you just brushed it off. You knew how the media in Korea was.

Hana: You know...I think Mingyu is more handsome than Jungkook. And he’s taller.

Y/N: Ugh, don’t remind me of that snake. I’m so glad I got him out of my system.

Hana: Since your man is out of the country, do you wanna maybe do something tonight after work?

Y/N: On a week day?

Hana: Yeah, why not? Maybe dinner and then a drink or two at a fancy bar. A friend of mine opened one last week and he keeps begging me to go. What’s wrong, your boy doesn’t let you go out without him now?

Y/N: You know he’s not jealous like that. But ok, if you want to go out, I guess we can stop by your friend’s bar. And I really crave some steak today.

After you left work later that day, you made a stop to her house, then yours, to change into something less boring. You couldn’t wait to put some food in your belly.

The restaurant you chose was packed and you should have been used to it by now. You waited for a table for about 10 minutes, then you finally sat down and ordered.

Y/N: I feel like eating everything on this menu, as long as it’s not to spicy.

Hana: Should we get a bottle of soju for warming up for later?

Y/N: Ok, let’s. This reminds me of the times when I was back home, going out with my friends. We would hang out at one’s house and drink before going out to the club. I miss them.

You left the restaurant a little tipsy. You are just not that strong with alcohol. Arriving into the bar Hana talked about, you noticed a big crowd outside, waiting to be let in.

Hana’s friend came outside to let us in, before all those who were waiting. That felt good, not gonna lie. The music inside was not THAT loud, was just perfect to hear each other if you talked close. But you liked the interior and the vibe. Looked like rich people went there and it smelled nice too.

You were introduced to Hana’s friend and his friends. One of them was a guy who seemed European, but you were not sure. After the place got a little more crowded and you had a glass already, you were in the mood to dance. Just hoping there were no creepy dudes there to come and grope you.

You and Hana were in your own world, having dun dancing next to each other and you see the European guy coming to your direction. It was nice to see a face from close to home, but you were not in the mood to chat to guys. When you’re out dancing, you just want to be left alone.

But this guy started to talk and talk. And you’re not the type to smile politely if they keep on talking. You just kept a straight face and eventually told him the music is to loud and you can’t hear him. Then he suggested to go outside and you declined his offer, telling him you just want to dance with your friend.

Somehow, that irritated him and he grabbed your wrist dragged you toward the exit. After a few steps, you were close to fall from the force this jerk was pulling you and your face ran right into his back. He stopped, he was not walking anymore. You took this chance to yank your hand from his and yell at him and kick him in the balls.

His hand was tight on your wrist still and he was not turning to you as you were screaming at him to let you go. Then you realized he was talking to someone. This bitch. You thought. But when you walk in front of him, you stop. Your eyes stare in shock and your mouth drops.

It was fucking Jungkook, coming to save you from another jerk. He saw the scene where the guy wouldn’t leave you be and dragged you so he had to do something. Hana was looking for you and she saw you a few meters in front of her so she came after you.

Jungkook: I thought I told you to let her go. I don’t want to repeat myself.

Jerk: And who are you, her boyfriend or something?

Jungkook: Yeah, I am. Now hands off my girlfriend!

Jungkook grabbed the guy’s wrist and pulled it off yours. You and Hana were just standing there like a couple of scared goats. What was he doing there? Why was he there? The jerk left quick and left the three of you looking at each other with big eyes.

Hana: And for your information, she has a boyfriend. You wish it were still you, but you screwed up.

Jungkook: Oh, she does?

You kicked Hana in the ribs to stop her from talking, but she kept going. She was too drunk to realize.

Hana: Yeah, Mingyu is much more handsome than you. And taller.

Jungkook’s face dropped. You and Mingyu? He couldn’t believe his ears. He didn’t keep in touch with Mingyu much, after he went to the army, but this was a lot to take in. He couldn’t believe his friend would do this.

Jungkook: Oh. Well, of course he’s your bf now.

Y/N: What’s that supposed to mean?

Jungkook: Doesn’t matter, maybe you two deserve each other.

Y/N: This coming from someone like you.

You huffed and turned away from him to leave. He grabbed your arm to stop you.

Jungkook: Wait, we need to talk.

Y/N: I’d rather put a cactus up my ass than talk to you.

You yanked your arm and left with Hana. Got out of the bar and told her you want to go home. She understood the situation and called an uber right away. That was a long and eventful night and you just want to forget about it. You’re not sure if you should tell Mingyu about it, maybe not. You really don’t want to talk about Jungkook again. You don’t even want to hear his name again.

Next time you saw Mingyu was after a few days, but just for a couple of hours, because he had a tight schedule. He came to your home, had dinner, sex, and he left. You really missed him. You haven’t spent that much time in the last month, maybe just two nights sleeping in the same bed and one dinner out with the 97 crew.

His group was getting ready for the MAMA awards, and they had a big show to do. You understood, his band was becoming really popular all over the world now, and along with that, your bf was becoming more popular among the women. You felt a little jealous at the extra attention from girls that he was getting lately.

The internet was filled with thirst reels and tik toks with him and as much as you enjoyed them too, it pissed you off too. All those little videos of him looking sweetely at female idols made you sick to your stomach. Is he back to his old ways of being a fuckboy and fucking all that moves and has a skirt?

You needed to see with your eyes, so you talked with your friend Hana to go with you to the MAMA event. She was the happiest to hear that, saying to not worry about the tickets, that Jaehyun will get us invitations.

Y/N: But I don’t know if I should tell Mingyu that I’m going.

Hana: If you tell him, you won’t see him act natural around those female idols, won’t you?

Y/N: You’re right, but I just feel like shit lying to him.

Hana: It’s not lying, it’s a surprise. You haven’t spent much time together lately anyway, act like it’s a surprise as his gf, to go see him and support him.

Y/N: I mean… yeah, you’re kind of right I guess.

Hana: Don’t worry, ok! Jaehyun will find us seats close enough to them, but as far enough that they can’t see us. And after the event, you text him and SURPRISE, I AM HERE!

And that’s what happened. You went to the event, anxious as fuck. You didn’t want him to see you and freak out and get mad at you. He should see you when you want him to see you. You were sat behind them with a few rows and it was perfect. He seemed indeed very friendly with everyone and pretty flirty with the girls.

You hoped it was nothing there, though. You knew he was a big puppy, needing interaction and attention. They ended the show with their performance. Right after all ended you called him. He didn’t pick up. Uh oh. What now?

So then you texted him to call you, because it’s urgent. He called after 5 minutes, worried that something happened.

Mingyu: Baby, what’s wrong?

Y/N: Gyu!! I thought I won’t get ahold of you tonight. I am here.

Mingyu: Where?

Y/N: I came to see you.

Mingyu: Are you pranking me?

Y/N: NO, big dummy. I came to surprise you, since we barely get to see each other.

Mingyu: Awww, babe. But I don’t know how much time I have now, because we are flying back to Seoul tonight, after midnight.

Y/N: Oh fuck!

Mingyu: Let me see something and I’ll call you back in 5, ok? Don’t go anywhere, we are still backstage.

You waited for his call while outside of the venue.

Mingyu: Y/N? I have 10 minutes before we leave to the hotel and then the airport. Come to the back entrance, a staff member will bring you in.

You went around the building and found the back entrance. It was filled with fans, waiting to see the idols leaving. You struggled to get to the front of the crowd and you waved the staff, you recognized them. They waved back and made room for you to pass the fence.

Inside, the staff walked you to a door and told you to go inside. When you opened it, you realized it was another exit, to a parking space, where you saw cars and Mingyu waving you to get into his quickly. Both you and Hana ran to his car and got in, looking after paparazzi. But it seemed safe.

Mingyu: Don’t worry, there is no one but us and staff here. We want to leave in peace, the other exit was to crowded. Everyone else is there.

He pulled you into his lap and gave you a kiss on the lips.

Y/N: I fucking miss you! I had to see you. And congrats for the wins and the performance was the best.

Mingyu: Thank you, princess. And I miss you too, you know I do. But work is keeping me busy, as you can see. I promise I will get a couple of days off soon and spend them just with you. Now give me a kiss, I have to go soon.

Hana: You guys are gross, get a room!

Y/N: I wish!!

You could feel him getting hard inside his pants and that was your cue to get up from his lap and leave, because it was just driving you crazy to have him there and not being able to touch him like you wanted. As you said your goodbyes and got off the car, you noticed Hoshi was leaning on the back. He had a dumb look on his face and you didn’t know if you should say hi or not, so you just nodded and kept walking. He didn’t react.

After Hoshi got in the car with Mingyu, Hoshi kept quiet for a few minutes, but then he was so confused that he just needed to ask.

Hoshi: So…I was not eavesdropping or anything, just saw you guys were in the car and I waited outside for you to finish, but what the hell, Mingyu?

Mingyu’s face was all red and hot now, he was lost for words. All he could say was “what’s wrong, hyung?”

Hoshi: Well, first of all, all this time you have been telling me that Y/N keeps on playing games with you. That you confessed to her and that she pushed you away each time. Second, you told me she’s with Jungkook still, on and off. And now, I see her in your lap, I see you two kissing, talking sweet to each other like a couple, making plans to spend time together alone. Maybe you can explain. I have been hating this girl for more than a year because she was treating my friend like shit.

Mingyu: Ah, hyung, it’s not like that. Yeah, she has been rejecting me, and she still sees me as a friend.

Hoshi: Are you not fucking?

Mingyu: Uhh, no.

Hoshi: Kim Mingyu, you were kissing. Like..kissing kissing. Don’t lie, I can tell when you’re lying.

Mingyu: I promise it’s not like that, we are not fucking. I just let her kiss me sometimes, it’s all I can hope for from her. If I can’t have her, at least her kisses are making me happy.

Hoshi: Nah, that’s weird, dude, wtf. Is she friendzoning you but at the same time, keeping you around just in case Jungkook is getting bored of her? Is that what you’re saying?

Mingyu: You got that right. But please, don’t judge me. I am just a guy in love and I’d do anything to be in her life.

Hoshi: Look, you’re my friend and I’m telling you this is not ok. You need to sort your shit with her. Now let’s stop talking about her, my head hurts.

The truth was that Hoshi was a very naive guy. He believed anything his dear friend Mingyu would tell him. Why wouldn’t he? They were best friends. Hoshi might not be the brightest out of the bunch, but he was not stupid. He was just very loyal and he trusted his friends a lot. How could he trust a girl and not Mingyu?

Mingyu doesn’t know why he kept feeding this lie to Hoshi. It all started one night when they were having dinner alone and Hoshi saw Mingyu being very down. So he wanted to know what was wrong. Mingyu just started telling him that there was this girl he loved, but she was with Jungkook, and how she will never leave the golden boy of kpop to be with him. Somehow, Hoshi misheard and thought Mingyu said that she rejected him and Mingyu let it slide. Since then, he thought it would be interesting to keep lying to his friend to just…keep him on his side, maybe?

Still, he knew he could just tell the truth but he felt that the lie just got to big now and he didn’t want Hoshi to be upset with him. On the other hand, Hoshi would not go to someone else with this issue because this was something Mingyu shared with him only. That way, Mingyu knew his lies were safe.

But now, Hoshi hated you even more.

minidura chapter 9 react

COLOR PAGE????

COLOR PAGE!!!!

since when did shinra have blue eyes though

actually i just looked up images of him but what fucking color are those?? blue?? gray?? brown??

shinra is benedict cumberbatch i guess

also shinra beating izaya at cards (and especially poker) is hilarious i need more of that

shinra please tell shizaya to kiss. do it for me

THIS IS SO CUTE AHHHHHHHHH

shizuo and izaya agreeing with each other when it comes to preventing shinra from straight up killing them lets go!!!! plus shizuo asking if shinra cheated because izaya lost ashdkgjsdkjghdssd

izaya totally cheated and still lost he's so pathetic <33333

the way he says "then" after that though like. he was actually considering dissection and money laundering PFFF

yes eat lunch together i promise it wont go horribly wrong

they've really never done this in canon though?? maybe i just read too much fanfiction about it

oh i guess they definitely havent done it before 😭

maybe this is a start. maybe they do it every day after this

izaya's cat face is so cute rhfhrgjhhjgh

only shizuo and izaya would be so baffled at the idea of eating lunch together help

like if these were ANY other people they'd be like oh sure why not! not these losers

watch the entire chapter just be them stalling help

THEY FINISH EACH OTHERS SENTENCES!! married couple behavior fr fr (<-delusional)

they havent argued once in this chapter yet so im taking everything i can get ok

the only things that will get shizaya to be on the same wavelength are eating simon's food and being afraid of shinra

THEY'RE SO CUTE!! the holy trio of malewives

i choose to believe that was both of them saying 'shinra shut up'

meals for the family man because they're going to start a family together (<-delusional but like. more than usual)

i sense a food fight incoming

oh yeah this is going on my twitter banner

cant believe we have two whole chapters of shizaya cooking together in the minidura manga. out of ten chapters. probably representative of how the mangaka was cooking fr

SOMEONE REPLACE THIS WITH THE GAY GAY HOMOSEXUAL GAY MEME RIGHT NOW

izaya would be the one out of the two of them to make moe anime girl noises (my entire friend group)

honestly how has shinra not gone insane from dealing with these two for the entirety of high school

scratch that he is insane my bad

it's like herding cats, not because they keep going in opposite directions, but because they keep fighting

of course they disagree on food tastes too. someone's leaving this kitchen with a broken spine

ive just stopped screenshotting and started posting entire pages because everything is gold

"are you that confident in your tongue" i bet you ten bucks that i could find that line in a shizaya smut fanfiction in less than 20 minutes

at least shinra's having fun

married couple behavior for sure. who doesnt bicker while cooking together

oops

shizuo would be good at cooking if izaya wasn't provoking him 😭maybe. idk the milk drinker genes might hinder him actually

for a moment there i thought they were going to have no food at all bgkjgsjsgdk

izaya and shizuo look so cute in the back thoughhhh look at themmm

shinra. shinra why would you say that they're going to kill each other. shinra. SHINRA

oh nvm i guess they were too tired to argue 😭being in forced proximity for this long is literally harder than chasing each other

wait whats that psychology term for it again. group. something. group goal SUBORDINATE GOAL thats it. a goal given to two opposing groups that forces them to cooperate and will usually eventually make them like each other more (it has never worked for shizaya. see the simon chapter) (also excuse the psychology terminology i have my final test in a month or so and this is the only way i can force myself to study)

so cuteeeeeeeeeeeeeee

shinra sitting between them pfft

izaya's cat face actually kills me every time

either the food is amazing or the food is dogshit and i dont know which one would be funnier

LMFAOOOOOOOOOOOO

ok thats better than either of those options

this chapter has literally just been shizuo and izaya Going Through It

"everyone should get along like me and celty" is he saying shizaya should date. yes he is because i said so

also izaya moving even further away from shinra LMFAO he'd rather be in hitting range of shizuo than have to deal with shinra's celty shpeal

there's so many good reaction pictures with shizaya this chapter ill definitely be cutting them out to make into a banner at some point

im convinced this serves as a precious memory for both of them even if they dont realize it >:)

99999/10 chapter i enjoyed every second of it

[its-wabby-stuff]

The Day the Resistance Fell

1300 hours. Resistance meetings. Led by Master Leonardo. Greeted by little engagement. Everyone left is just tired.

1428 hours. The meetings ended early. People returned to their free time. A couple returned to embracing each other, soaking in whatever moments they may have left together. Miwa beat her family in poker, likely for the 50th time, one member of their party missing. She’d lost family too. Commander O’Neil was talking to Big Mama and Sensei, who must’ve noticed Casey Jr’s stares as he excused himself and walked over to the kid.

“Case.”

“Sensei.”

“What’chu working on?”

“I’m just- looking through old files.”

“Is that right?” He took a seat next to him, pulling his real arm over Casey’s shoulder, and sinking comfortably into the wall. “You find out all of Donnie’s secrets yet?” He looked over with a smirk.

“Not all of them. There’s a lot on this thing.”

“Keep digging, and let me know if you find anything really good.”

“There's been a lot on here from before I was born.”

“Oh yeah, those were wild days. Never had a moment like this back then. We were always on the run from something- I don’t think I slept much those first years.” He spoke as he pulled his mask over his eyes and let out a big yawn, bringing his full weight down atop Casey.

“Hey, no sleeping on the job,” Casey jabbed him in the side.

“Gah.” He pulled away and lifted up his mask to see a big smirk on Casey’s face. “You’re asking for it little man.”

Casey tried to make a break for it but was pulled back into a bear hug to receive a noogie to the head.

“If you’re bringing it, I’m gonna give it right back, old man,” and Casey pulled Sensei’s mask right around his head.

“Oh this old trick?” Leo laughed. Casey tried wriggling out of his grasp. “Ohohoho, you’re not getting away that easily.”

“How about a new trick then?” Casey smiled, tapping a button on Leo’s arm that forced him to release the kid.

“No fair, that’s cheating!” Leo shouted as Casey crawled away.

“I thought it was ‘using my surroundings.’”

Leo raised his finger to retaliate, but came up with nothing. “Don’t think one arm left means I can’t beat you,” and Leo picked himself off the floor and charged for Casey again. Casey ran off laughing, looking back as Leo chased him. “Oh- Casey!”

He ran straight into an adult, and back toward Leo, who managed to catch him before he hit the floor. “You gotta watch where you're going, Case. You shouldn’t look back while you’re running.”

Casey rubbed his nose.

“Master Leonardo!” It was the angry guy. He was breathing heavily and looked terrified. “Krang! Spotted just west of here.”

“How many?”

“20 maybe 30, and they’re heading this way.”

“Sound the alarm, I want this place to be locked down!” Leo ordered the space, causing people to jump into action. “Let’s gear up an-“

A loud crash caused rubble to fall from the ceiling, and the metal walls to creak. Sensei pulled Casey close and steadied them both. Then the red lights began to blare, but no sound was heard.

“What the hell was that?” Leo looked over to the man who had brought the news. “I thought you said they were heading this way, not right on top of us!” Another thunk and people began to duck for cover. “How’d they get here so fast?”

Casey left Leo’s side to grab the things he had abandoned against the wall for the sake of fun. His mask and his hockey stick. When he turned around, Sensei had left the room. Casey started toward the door.

There was another crash, and more debris began to fall. Casey was stopped by two hands on his shoulder, pulling him back and turning him around.

“Casey, are you okay?”

“I’m fine Commander O’Neil. Where’d Sensei go?”

“He followed the scout to the observation deck.”

“I’m gonna go after him!”

He turned away, but April’s hold held firm, “Wait, Casey. I need you to come with me!”

April was sure to keep Casey close to her as they ran through the base. Others bolted past them in full gear, guns blazing, assortments of different weapons ready, and making their way out into the fight. Him and the Commander only headed deeper into the base.

“Where are we going, Commander?”

“Somewhere you’ll be safe.”

“Me?” Casey stopped, “But I can help!”

“I’m sorry, Casey! Leo doesn’t want you near this fight!”

“But-“

“We’ve got to keep moving!” She pulled him along.

“Commander- I can do more! Sensei-“

“Leo needs you to stay safe.” April turned him around, “But that doesn’t mean we can’t do our own thing to help. You got anything in those files with access codes to Donnie’s Helicarrier program?”

Casey gave April a smirk.

“Then let’s kick some Krang ass.” She pounded her fist into her hand.

———————————————————

Just a snippet of something I’m working on.

Miwa, if you don’t know, belongs to @somerandomdudelmao s Apocalyptic Series. This is heavily inspired by that, but when is it not?

[kunikidas-lost-glasses]

Any siglai or sigma × fyodor (idk the ship name) hcs?

Thank you for your request anon! I hope you enjoy the hcs!

I choosed to write some Siglai headcanons since I prefer it much more than Sigma x Fyodor and since I don't have many headcanons for the latter.

TWs: Mentions of panic attacks and crying, very slight mention of murders, very very slight mention of breakdowns, slight mention of a Sigma-typical existence crises (It's a large part of his character after all)

I apologize for any grammar or spelling mistakes. English isn't my first language.

Nikolai regulary uses his overcoat to visit Sigma in his office at the casino without any warning or announcement

Due to this, he is also always the first one to notice when Sigma is overworking himself past his limits or if he's panicking in secret again and he will always take care of him then, gently forcing his boyfriend to stop working and to take care of himself for once

Nikolai admires Sigma when he's mad but he's also actually a bit scared of him then. If Sigma lets his anger show for once, it's always intimidaing to be honest

They often bake cookies together or better, Sigma bakes them and Nikolai eats the chocolate chips and the raw dough leftovers which are still in the bowl

They both enjoy baking together though. These moments are one of the few calm and doemestic moments they have in their life

Often Nikolai also turns on some music while they are baking and to which they dance together while they wait for the cookies after they've put them into the oven

Upon seeing Sigma the first time, Nikolai thought he saw some kind of an angelic person instead of a human and he hated him for a good while because of the things he made him feel

The first time he saw him was when Fyodor and him went to the sky casino in order to talk with Sigma about a new plan and there he saw the casino manager, roaming around in the gambling halls, talking kindly with people and giving commands to his employees.

He had hoped oh so bad that this person wouldn't be the person with who they needed to talk but it was and from there on his emotional struggles began and they lasted for months

Nikolai loves to braid Sigmas' long hair and Sigma also loves to braid Nikolais'

They play poker and other card games together extremly often in the evening

Sigma often wins but Nikolai isn't bad at gambling and playing himself. Both are actually fairly good at card games.

Besides this, Nikolai also often cheats

Nikolai loves to leave small presents for Sigma on the latters desk

Sigma on the other hand always leaves small sticky notes for Nikolai on his nightstand which greet him good morning and which tell him that he loves him when he leaves for work at his casino

Nikolai introduces Sigma to a lot of things and has made it his mission to show Sigma as much fun things to do as he could

There was a lot of bickering and fighting until they sorted everything out and became a couple and by now they still bicker a lot given how irritating Nikolai can sometimes be but despite this, they actually work extremly well

Nikolai helps Sigma through each panic attack, no matter how messy they are and no matter how hysteric he gets and Sigma always helps Nikolai and is there for him when he is breaking down or when he is struggling with guilt after murders or when he's struggling with his need for freedom once again.

Nikolai loves to call Sigma pet names in Ukrainian and loves it even more when Sigma keeps trying to find out what he just called him

Eventually Sigma tries to learn Ukrainian and surprised Nikolai once after he replied to him in Ukrainian.

They went stargazing together once on the rooftop of the casino. Sigma has never felt more closer to the stars and since he loved heights it was even better. Nikolai showed him all the constallations he knew and admired Sigma while the other looked in awe at the stars over them

He thought that Sigmas' eyes sparkled just as much as the stars that night and he loved that sight

When Sigma is sitting on the floor of his office, making himself as small as possible, crying and feeling scared, Nikolai often sits down next to him, holds him close and wraps his overcoats over both of them which always gives Sigma a feeling of security and safety

Sigma helping Nikolai to wash off the blood after another mission while the clown is sitting on the edge of their bathtub, staring holes in the air with empty eyes is a thing

Having a car chase with the police while Nikolai is driving, laughing cheefully and driving like a madman while Sigma is screeching at him to drive faster and aiming at the wheels of the police cars with his gun is a thing too

Nikolai thaught Sigma how to dance and by now they sometimes slow dance together in their kitchen or their living room, Sigma lying his head against Nikolais' shoulder and letting him lead or them leaning their forehead against the others', looking each other in their eyes, drowning in them and just silentley enjoying each others presence, occacionally quietly telling each other sweet nothings.

Sigma often struggles with who he is, his humanity and with his existence, not knowing for what he was born after all and while Nikolai knows that he can't do anything to make his boyfriend feel better, he is still always there for him and calms him down

Sigma once nearly went to work with Nikolai's black lipstick smudged on his lips but luckily one of his co workers informed him kindly about it before he went out to his costumers, saving him from an embrassing situation.

Sigma came home that evening, wanting to strangle Nikolai for not telling him and while Sigma was scolding him Nikolai just laughed which made Sigma even more embaressed and angry so he ended up tackeling Nikolai to the couch, pining him down on his shoulders, straddling his waist and telling him that he's gonna throw him of the sky casino if he does something like that again. Nikolai tried to stay serious while promising him to never do something like that again but failed miserably so he lied on the couch giggling causing Sigma to stand up in defeat but Nikolai quickly stood up too, hugging him from behind, burying his head in the crook of Sigmas' neck and apoligized, asking him not to be angry with him

Of course Sigma couldn't be angry at him for long

Nikolai has a lot of nicknames/ pet names which he loves to call Sigma. Some of them are "birdie", "dove", "doll", "my love", "cookie", "Sig" and multipile bird species which he finds cute.

Dove is his favorite nickname for Sigma

Sigma hogs all of their blankets at night

Nikolai thought Sigma how to braid hair

They love to cuddle with each other

The go bird watching together and feed the birds sometimes

Sigma was deep in denial about his feelings at first and got extremly irritated and angry with Nikolai in that time

Sigma is the only one besides Fyodor who knows that Nikolais' right eye is actually blind

Nikolai feels comfortable enough around Sigma that he often puts off his overcoat and lies it on the couch when he's staying at Sigmas' office for a whole night once again, keeping his boyfriend company while he's working though his paperwork. It's a huge sign of trust

Even if they are in a relationship now, the clown still loves to play pranks on his dove

Nikolai admires Sigma so extremly much and Sigma admires Nikolai too. He would just never admit it out loud.

They sometimes drink tea together and eat cookies while chatting about their day

If anyone of the the casino costumers dares to make Sigma uncomfortable, to make him feel bad or if they would even start to harass him and if Nikolai finds out about it, he will find this person and deal with them in his very own way depening on what they did.

Sigma can defend himself, that's out of question, and he can and will ban people from the casino but he usually stays somewhat polite and Nikolai wants to make sure that they will never ever even dare to try to talk to Sigma

Both are pretty protective of the other but Nikolai is the most protective of them

Nikolai sometimes surprises Sigma with a breakfast

Regular kisses on the hand, cheek or neck are a thing

While they bicker extremly often, they are also super affectionate and caring towards each other

Harem Deluxe: Night at Okinawa, Part 1

Mahiru: *sitting at a bar near the top of a grand hotel on Okinawa* It's nice to get away from the snow and ice once in a while~ n___n

Yukiko: Oh, was your guys' area hit pretty bad? (✿◠‿◠)

Mikan: N-Not exactly... *at Mahiru's grumpy stare* >w< Um. Not worse than everywhere else...

Mahiru: Mikan-chan, you don't get to say that. @___@*** We couldn't let you shovel because of your slipping and sliding. It was just me, Hajime, Chiaki, and Natsumi busting our rumps out there. And even with numbers like that, it was HEAVY!!!

Mikan: I'm sorryyyyy! DX *bows way too deeply*

Yukiko: Wow... We live on a mountain, so I figured we had it the worst. (✿◠‿◠);;; Four people shoveling... And you still had it rough...

Mahiru: :x Yeah, well. We use this underground parking garage cuz there's so many of us, and we needed to get access to the roads. Not to mention the sidewalks around our house... And we had to get it all cleared out in the early morning, so it's that much colder. :x And there's no way I was gonna let Hajime tackle that all on his own. No sir. *nod nod*

Yukiko: Hajime's the type to tackle everything on his own, huh?

Mahiru and Mikan: EVERYTHING! >:[

Yuzuki: Oh, you guys use a parking garage too, huh? (✿◠‿◠) We know that feeling. Though like Yukiko said, we hafta make our way down the mountain each day to get to our jobs...

Yukiko: Going down's the fun part. :3 Skiing, sledding, or snowboarding~...

Yuzuki: Yeah, it's the journey back up, isn't it? That's the real bummer. @~~@***

Yukiko: (✿◠‿◠) On the bright side, Koro-sensei and Hayate are looking into skii lift options for that part~...

Yuzuki: Mm! (✿◠‿◠)

Mikan: S-S-Skiing s-sounds f-fun... nwn

Mahiru: No, they don't!! No skiing for you. (๑•́ ₃ •̀๑) You remember the last time.

Mikan: (✿ヘᴥヘ) I r-rolled into a b-big snowball...! Hajime had to dig me out~... nwn

Yuzuki: :x ... Big snowball?

Mahiru: (✿◠‿◠)*** Gravity seems to hate Mikan-chan... She'll literally trip and fall over air, but when on a ski slope...? Well. :x Roll enough snow together and it becomes a ball. And she was going REALLY fast...

Mikan: *still giggling to herself despite the compromising state she'd been in at the time... or perhaps BECAUSE of the compromising state* (✿◠‿◠)

Mahiru: >___>

Yukiko: Well, that sounds...

Rio: *walks up all glum* >w<

Yuzuki: What's wrong, Rio-chan? Lose a bit too much at the poker tables? n__n;;;;;;;; *a little anxious to find out*

Rio: DX I lost EVERYTHING! *points back at two separate tables, where a sizeable audience has gathered to watch* I tried two different tables and went bust. (✿◠‿◠);;; Kaede-chan's gonna be pissed...

Yukiko and Yuzuki: Yes, she will be. (✿◠‿◠);;;;;;;;;;;;

Mahiru: :x Excuse me? *raises hand to gather attention* Um. Who did you lose to?

Rio: >w< Some goth chick...

Mahiru: Uh-huh. Dumb of you to challenge that one, but go on? :x

Rio: And some chick calling herself former yakuza. >w<

Mahiru and Mikan: DON'T PLAY HER!!!!!

Yuzuki, Yukiko, and Rio: o___o That bad...?

Mikan: N-Natsumi-chan is mean at games... >w<

Mahiru: She'll do everything short of cheating because she's THAT passionate about cards. >:[ *huffs* I should have known not to let her go gambling... But it's not like Hajime can say "no" to her, so what was I supposed to do? >___>

Rio: Well. :x I'd say the goth chick cleaned me out more. That Natsumi chick just got the scraps of what I had left. ... Although I think there was a couple girls who wagered more than I did...

Yukiko: (✿◠‿◠);;; Rio-chan, there's a reason we don't let you go gambling... Be happy we gave you spending money at all.

Rio: Oi, I'm a GREAT gambler! Those two were just demons! DX

Yuzuki: Who put in more money than you? It's not like we're millionaires or anything, but we've got, like... Eight incomes between all of us? Counting Nagisa, I mean. o.o

Rio: >w< Some blonde foreigner who wailed about getting cleaned out of food allowance... Kinda weird with that armor cosplay, too. The other chick's right over there. *points a little bit away from them*

Rin: *drunkenly wails* Stupid, *hic* bozo-bitch cheaters...! I knew I shoulda shot for craps! DX *slumps on the bar counter, moaning that she doesn't have enough money to get blackout drunk*

Mahiru: :x Well, you're the idiots who thought betting everything against the Ultimate Gambler and Natsumi was a brilliant idea.

Do you think Five and The Handler had some sort of a fling in the Commission? I see so many people betting on it.

I hate how the Handler flirts and gets physically close to him even though he's in a teen body, and she obviously tends to like him. Five doesn't seem to back off when she touches him either, even when he clearly not shows the same interest in her as she does in him. But after all, both have no problem to actually kill each other off.

It really confuses me a little, since Five "broke up" with Dolores at the end of season 1, past his time in the commission, and I doubt he would cheat on the one he's been in a relationship with. Five also said he'd been with Dolores together for over 30 years. If he's been with her the whole time in the apocalypse, why not use 40? But maybe I'm just nit-pick.

I really hope I don't bother you with my questions, but it's really interesting to read your analyses and your explanations are reasonable. Feel free to ignore! ♡

Soooo... ⚠️FUCKING TRIGGER WARNINGS EVERYWHERE. RAPE REFERENCES, TURN BACK NOW IF THAT BOTHERS YOU⚠️

In the Mangoshorthand cinematic universe, The Handler raped Five multiple times over the years he was at the Commission. Part 4 of Hard Feelings deals with his recovery many years later, (there are flashbacks but nothing graphic) and my fic The Moth and the Spider goes into it in detail, (in a graphic, violent fashion). Essentially, I present it that The Handler took advantage of Five's naivety upon 'rescuing' him from the apocalypse and uses shame and fear to control him. At first he doesn't realise it's rape, but when he starts to understand, he pushes it away because it's much easier for him to perceive himself as a sicko involved in a violent sex game than it is to see himself as vulnerable. The fic spans the whole course of their relationship, from when they met to her death.

I have my canon justifications for my choice of this relationship dynamic specifically but I don't think that this sort of scenario is implied by the show, (even if it isn't directly contradicted).

Do I think they had a fling?

Honestly, I don't know. I think the show implies a spectrum of possibilities. Here is a (non exhaustive) attempt at laying it out. a) The Handler leverages her sexuality as a means of asserting dominance in their otherwise non-sexual relationship.

b) The Handler leverages her sexuality as a means of asserting dominance and would be interested in engaging in a sexual relationship with him. Five is/was disinterested but knows what she's doing so doesn't really react to her touching/little comments.

c) The Handler leverages her sexuality as a means of asserting dominance and would be interested in engaging in a sexual relationship with him and Five is/was titillated.

d) They once had a sexual relationship which Five regrets and now The Handler leverages that history as a way of asserting dominance.

Were I to order these scenarios by most to least likely, I would say: b, d, c, a I am more sure than not that The Handler has sexual interest in Five, and this is my evidence for that other than her general flirting, touching and comments

There is a scene in season one where she casts her eyes down and licks her lips just before she says the phrase 'schoolboy shorts.' 🤢

The scene in season 2 where she's in the bath reading his file, looking at two photographs of him. She gives a little shudder and kind of squeezes her thighs together in that scene, which implies...🤮

As to Five's feelings? Honestly, he's got a pretty good poker face. There could be a lot going on behind his unphased expression. I genuinely don't know. Here are a couple of indications of his attitude towards her that I can think of:

He definitely respects her as an adversary. He has a tendency to talk about her in tones of grudging respect. (e.g. "Oh, she's good," with regards to the candy tracker in season 1).

He allows her to touch him when he tends to avoid rather than initiate touch with others. There could be a lot of reasons for this, ranging from him not wanting her to know he doesn't like it to him actually quite liking the affection. (In my fics, I interpret this as him having learned to let her do whatever she wants rather than fight it, but I don't think that's what the writers intend us to take from it).

This one was pointed out my a mutual (who I won't tag in a post that mentions violent noncon, lol!) Whenever Five speaks to Lila about the Handler, (End of season 2, start of season 3) he looks as if he might be speaking from experience when he tells Lila she manipulated her and that she didn't love her

I don't think any of these are conclusive, however. They could indicate a range of feelings.

Would Five cheat on Dolores?

Five seems like the loyal type, so I think he would likely stay faithful. However, the reality of Dolores's physicality means she can't meet all of his needs. I can imagine them having an arrangement whereby Five can sleep with other people. I see Dolores as Five's conscience and his voice of reason when he's becoming mentally fractured. Honestly, Five engaging romantically and sexually with people other than her would be better for Five's mental health long term, and Five would know that, deep down. I can see that manifesting in Dolores advocating for him to do it to make Five feel less guilty about 'cheating'.

Also, the 'together for thirty years' thing: perhaps he meant together romantically rather than physically together, or perhaps it took ten years of solitude before she started talking back to him.

Sorry I can't really form a proper argument on this one!

Jackie & Eric, the romantic headcanons…

(Because it’s been a rough week for me, and I’ve been meaning to post this for awhile now <3)

- They love going to the movies together, and have long debates about whatever they’ve just seen on the ride home from the theatre. Their tastes may vary, but there’s a lot of films they mutually dislike.

- Jackie helps Eric set up / decorate his classroom every year, and she always offers to chaperone the school dances with him.

- In turn, Eric often listens to Jackie’s work related rants. He sits through a lot of concepts for kitchens, living rooms, etc. And, because of this, learns the difference between periwinkle and baby blue.

(He learns a lot of other colors, too, but that’s the one that always sticks out to him the most.)

- They’re insanely competitive. Monopoly is their favorite board-game, followed closely by Clue. And, as far as cards go, they both like Poker and Uno. They can get BRUTAL whilst playing against each other.

- But, on the flip side, if you’re against them as a team? Their competitive spirits blend together, and they become an annoyingly hard to beat duo.

- They love rollerskating together, and that transfers into a love of ice skating during Winter. Jackie says she can skate circles around Eric, but he gives her a run for her money. By cheating, as he pulls her into a hug. She doesn’t mind it, though. And, instead? His attempts at foul play are met with laughter.

- They leave notes for each other around the house, ranging from sappy sweet to important reminders.

- And, in particular, Eric leaves notes for Jackie in the morning because he gets up super early for work.

- Christmas is their favorite time of year, followed closely by spring. They love decorating together, and putting up ornaments is always their favorite.

- Jackie makes Eric put up the Christmas lights and will often direct him on how to arrange them from the ground. And his efforts are always rewarded with hot chocolate and an appreciative kiss to the cheek.

- Neither one of them can stand country music.

- Spin hugs, lots of spin hugs.

- They do matching couples costumes on Halloween, but debate for ages every year on what to go as. Eric always suggests something “nerdy” while Jackie’s are more theatrical. But one of them (usually Eric) ends up bending. She has her moments, though. Like the year they went as Clark Kent and Lois Lane, and another time as Han Solo and Princess Leia.

- They share a mutual love of Journey and Air Supply. Eric claims “Lost in Love” is their song together.

- They’d attempt home renovations together, and fail miserably. Jackie is far more handy than Eric, but she still can’t tackle everything on her own. And he’d try to help, the best he could, even if that means mostly standing back on the sidelines.

- Their favorite names for future kids are Lucas, Daniel, Nathan, and Nicholas for boys. And then Diana, Grace, Katherine, and Nicole for girls.

- They both like cartoons, and their ultimate favorite (especially while high) is Scooby Doo. But, in the 90s, they’d love the Powerpuff Girls with their kids.

- She steals his sweaters, in order to make them look better, and because they smell like him. They just need a bit of sprucing up! (Just like he did, before he met her!) Jackie usually pairs them with a belt, and he can’t deny she wears them better than he does.

[ungrateful-cyborg-moved]

What do they think about romantic love? Do they have baggage surrounding it? Do they idealize it? Is it an object of longing and wanting, or were they really not thinking about it until they started falling for the other character? What are their expectations like?

(I realized I don't know who all is in a ship or not, so you pick who feels valid for answering these! <3)

They met at a casino close to twenty years ago. X'yan was working as security, Skaar was just a client that came from time to time but kept suspicious winning at poker (or whatever the equivalent might be) so X'yan was put on the case to assess whether or not he was cheating. He wasn't, but it put the miqo'te on his radar and he started flirting with him, initially just for the fun of it even though X'yan was indeed his type. Then it became a game to catch his ears or tail slightly betray his interest, and after a few more visits they eventually started seeing each other. Not very seriously, though neither of them gave attention to someone else from that point on.

Eventually they met in a place none of them had any business to be in, each on a different mission, so they fought their way out together and Skaar eventually proposed.

Then proposed again properly later, with a ring and all this time.

And that's how, as far as romance is concerned, they became the most normal married couple you could imagine (albeit not the most vanilla) xD

Skaar is by far my most romantic muse. Everything sweet you can think of, they've done it probably more than once and might do it again. They're known in their neighborhood for being cute together, though none except the old ladies would dare telling them right away. Which really is pretty funny if you consider than X'yan kills for hire and Skaar spent much of his life as a pirate, then a mercenary.

But romantic or not, X'yan was very much the first guy he actually put an effort to impress and keep. Young adult!Skaar wasn't the most patient nor composed man, far from it, and while X'yan wasn't his first relationship, he was definitely his first serious partner. Skaar never gave much thought about romance before him, and even now he'd just tell you it's mostly compatibility, a choice and hard work.

I don't think either of them knew what they were getting into when they decided to get married tbh. Or even expected much of it. A lot of their relationship works as it started: not wondering too hard about where they're going as long as they go together, taking care of their adopted son and putting a lot of efforts into helping their fellow Ala mhigans. The rest can be solved with enough communication.

Thanks for the ask, @miqojak! And np! I don't speak about my ships often enough to expect anyone to remember them :'D

INT. JOHN'S APARTMENT - EVENING

John and his boyfriend Paul are sitting on the couch sipping on their glasses of wine. The apartment is dimly lit with soft music playing in the background.

John: *smiling* I had a really great evening with you tonight.

Paul: *smiling back* Yes, it was lovely. I always enjoy spending time with you.

John: *taking a sip of his wine* The food you cooked was amazing. You always know how to treat me right.

Paul: *laughs* I'm glad you enjoyed it. I have to impress my man, right?

John: *playfully nudging Paul's shoulder* You always impress me, babe.

Paul: *leans in for a kiss* You know what would make this evening even better?

John: *raises an eyebrow* What's that?

Paul: *grinning mischievously* A game of strip poker.

John: *laughs* You're always trying to get me naked.

Paul: *smirks* Of course. You're too sexy to be fully clothed.

John: *rolls his eyes teasingly* Alright, alright. Let's play.

The couple set up the game and begin to play, bantering and laughing as they do. Eventually, John ends up losing and laughs as he removes his shirt.

John: You cheated somehow, didn't you?

Paul: *grinning* I have no idea what you're talking about.

The evening continues with the couple enjoying each other's company and creating new memories together.

FADE OUT.

Kakegurui - Kirari Momobami × She/Her Reader

Could you possibly do one where Kirari and Sayaka are together like they were planning on getting married. However, the clan elders arranged a marriage with Kirari and Y/n to strengthen the bond between the families. Kirari continues her relationship with Sayaka and is constantly around her so much so that they are together in front of Y/n even though she is married, Kirari absolutely hates Y/n and is awfully rude her at the beginning while Y/n is very sweet and kind towards her even making her breakfast before she leaves the house. Kirari slowly falls in love with Y/n. Until Kirari found out that Sayaka been cheating on her the same day she has to meet the elders. Where she truly realizes she loved Y/n as her wife defend Kirari from elders at a moment of weakness before Kirari absolutely rains down on them. They live happily ever after with a family of their own.

Thank you. You're like my favourite author ever!!! Your stories are so amazing and enjoyable to read. Thank for writing my request Spoken For - Kanae. I enjoy very much, thank you. I just want you to know your the best and I love all of your stories!!! There alway very good!!

Arranged Marriage

Kirari Momobami x She/Her Reader

A/N: Thank you very much! I hope you like this one too! Sayaka cheating?! Idk about y’all, but if someone like Sayaka cheated on me, I’d just give up. She is loyal to the point that it’s a self-destructive flaw. Then we got Kiari over here… she is so difficult! I always gravitate towards how head empty she is in Kakegurui Kari because I love that for her, but it makes her so hard to take seriously. Tried to do better this time, but she has a total Howl from HMC moment. Which seems fitting for her, but I don’t really know. AH! Hope you like it! Word Count: 5,004

Kirari couldn’t believe what she was hearing. She, head of the Momobami Clan, was to marry someone chosen by the elders. Apparently all of her years spent terrorizing the other branches of the family came with a price after all. Now her life was crashing down mere months before she and Sayaka were supposed to be married.

Kirari took a deep breath, not allowing her poker face to slip.

“And what makes you all think you have the power to ask such a thing of me?”

“It has been a legal action written in the laws of our family for generations. Sorry you couldn’t be bothered to read them.” Terano explained with a smug smile.

“If the conditions have been met, and believe me, with your record, they have, the heads of each branch get to chose the spouse themselves.”

“And you expect me to comply?”

“You will if you want to keep your position in this family. Otherwise you’ll be left with nothing but the shirt on your back.” Rin chimed in with a cocky grin.

“And what of Ririka?”

“She’s her own person,” Sumika shrugged, “She’s never given us hell like you have. We have no reason to dictate her partner.”

“And you think interfering with my wedding to my dear Sayaka will do what exactly? If you thought I was bad in high school, I will have this family eating itself into nothingness.”

“You can’t,” Terano spoke calmly, “again, a little reading on the the laws and customs of our family would have done you well. With this marriage, you will not be able to pass any decrees without coming to an agreement with the spouse we’ve chosen for you. If you can’t come to an agreement, your legislations will not pass.”

“You really do have everything planned out don’t you, Terano?” Kirari chuckled coldly. “Fine. Call upon whoever you wish, but let it be known that this is far from over.”

Kirari left the conference room and breezed down the hall and out of sight. She found her way to an empty room and after a minute of silently standing in the sunset bathed office, she slammed her fists down on the closest table. Then pounded a couple more times before taking a deep breath and composing herself.

She had to go home and tell Sayaka. She could just imagine the heartbreak. Poor Sayaka had been waiting for their wedding day for years. Kirari shook her head despondently.

No matter. It was just a flimsy piece of paper anyway. Hell would freeze over before she stopped seeing Sayaka. Kirari has seen loveless marriages, heard the gossip of adulterous relationships within the branches of her family. It was just part of having Momobami blood she supposed.

Kirari met her driver out front and signaled him to drive her home. All the while she plotted. She would make her assigned spouse’s life miserable. Perhaps they would find a breaking point that would lead to Kirari getting what she really wanted, to marry Sayaka and make her family pay for dare thinking they could interfere with her life like she was a lowly house pet.

This may just be her most interesting gamble to date.

When she arrived home, heels echoing against the marble floors, Sayaka popped out of the home office, nervous as always when Kirari had to go to family meetings. Though this time the worry was warranted.

“How did it go? What did they want to talk about? Are you okay?”

“Slow down Sa-ya-ka,” Kirari smiled sadly placing a finger over Sayaka’s lips, “let’s sit down.”

They sat down together in a fancy leather loveseat amongst Kirari’s carefully curated aquariums.

“We can’t get married.” Kirari sighed tiredly, looking more like it was a minor inconvenience rather than a life changing statement.

“What…?” Sayaka paled.

“Apparently there’s a silly little statute that allows the family to decide on a spouse for me if there is reasonable belief that I can’t be trusted to make decisions with the family’s best interests at heart.”

“How can you sound so unbothered by this?”

Sayaka, the poor dear, would have collapsed if she hadn’t already been sitting down. She had dedicated years of her life to Kirari, all leading up to this. Kirari was supposed to be marrying her. She was supposed to be her number one. Her one and only.

“What we have is something infinitely more special than what an earthly marriage can convey. If I have to be married to someone else, so be it. But you will always be my first priority, Sayaka.”

Tears welled up in Sayaka’s eyes, causing Kirari to smile as she wiped them away.

“Don’t fret…”

“Can’t we just run away together?” Sayaka hiccuped, burying her face in Kirari’s shoulder.

“I would effectively be disowned, all of my assets liquidated and spilt back amongst the branches. We would have nothing, but coming across it in the most painfully boring way.”

“We can build something new together, Kirari. We don’t need Momobami money. All I need is you.” Sayaka was prepared to live under a bridge if it meant Kirari would be hers and hers alone.

“That’s silly Sayaka,” Kirari chuckled, running her fingers through her now ex-fiancée’s hair, “this is a gamble I have no intention of running from. We may still be married yet.”

Kirari pulled Sayaka into her lap and together they schemed, using the bitterness in their hearts to think of the best ways to annoy the person who would be trying to come between them.

Whatever spouse the family supplied Kirari with, they would need to be resilient to say the least.

***

It felt so surreal to (Y/n), getting married to someone she didn’t really know so she could free her family from the burden of their debts to the Momobami Clan.

Her family made sure to let her know that she didn’t have to do such a thing, but she wanted to help. Maybe it wouldn’t even be that bad. She and Kirari could even be friends. As long as her family could live more comfortably, she could endure anything.

We’re ready to sign the papers, you can come with us now.” Terano beckoned when Yumi opened the door.

“Thank you.” (Y/n) felt butterflies flutter in her stomach as she rose to her feet to follow behind Yumi as Terano rolled ahead.

“I respect your resolve and reasoning for taking this offer, but be sure to protect yourself. Do not show weakness. Kirari is a heartless woman. She will no doubt be looking for a way out of this.” Terano warned.

(Y/n) was one of the first people she had suggested to the committee. She was kind and fair, but also not a push over. They had known each other since childhood, so Terano had a lot of faith in her. She thought that (Y/n) could be the person to keep Kirari in check.

“I’ll be okay, Terano. I won’t forget what I’m doing this for.” (Y/n) smiled.

“Yeah, you can do it (Y/n)!” Yumi nodded excitedly. “Don’t let Kirari try to push you around!”

“I’ll kill her with kindness.” She assured, Terano peered back at her over her shoulder.

“Don’t waste your time. Someone like Kirari would never appreciate the efforts people make to give her comfort.“

“I don’t think it would hurt.” (Y/n) shrugged.

“I just don’t want you to put all this effort into making a working relationship with someone who couldn’t care less. It’s worse than she doesn’t care, she is going to be working against you every step of the way.”

“I appreciate the concern, Terano, but I’ll be alright.” (Y/n) was prepared. Everything Terano was telling her now, she had heard leading up to this day. She could handle whatever Kirari threw her way.

“If you’re certain,” Terano sighed, “Good luck.”

Yumi skipped ahead of them to open the doors of the crowded room. Sitting at the table in the center of it all was Momobami Kirari, legs crossed over the thigh, a cold smile upon her face.

“Not too late to back out.” Kirari teased once (Y/n) took the seat in front of her.

They haven’t even laid eyes on each other for a minute and she was already talking like that? (Y/n) smiled as well.

“It’s nice to meet you, Kirari. I hope we can learn to get along.”

“Hmm,” Kirari hummed, already bored again. “Then if we are going to do this, let’s finish it up quickly,” she motioned to Sayaka seething in the first row, “I intend to take my future wife on a little honeymoon to the Maldives after we wrap up here.”

“I see, let’s not keep her waiting then.” (Y/n) said without skipping a beat. She signed the papers and slid them over to Kirari with a smile. “I hope you two have a good time.”

“We will.” Kirari said, her smile growing tighter though it was not at all noticeable. She picked up the pen and signed the papers, sealing their fate.

***

(Y/n) had two weeks to make herself at home in Kirari’s grand, traditional Japanese mansion before she came back from her trip. Well, from the outside it looked traditional, but the renovations inside looked kind of like a globalization nightmare. Though chaotic, (Y/n) supposed it suited Kirari. Nothing she couldn’t get used to. It was better than how she had been living before anyway.

(Y/n) moved into one of the guest rooms suggested by the staff. It was in the same hallway as Kirari’s. The closeness might prove to be a mistake as time went on, but (Y/n) wanted to try to get along and that wasn’t going to happen if they lived on opposite sides of the mansion.

She made herself comfortable and learned how to navigate the mansion and maybe, she hoped, she’d learn about Kirari in the process. She seemed to enjoy fish of all the aquariums were anything to go by. There were gambling dens, a swimming pool, theatre, library, rock garden, even a modest sized (if you could call it that) baseball diamond.

(Y/n) was lounging in the main sitting room as she liked to do. The mansion was so big she would hate to miss Kirari and Sayaka’s return. She was paging through a book full of exotic fish in an attempt to learn about Kirari’s interests when she heard a pair of approaching footsteps and quiet laughter.

When Kirari and Sayaka came into view, their laughter stopped upon seeing (Y/n). Sayaka scowled and Kirari smirked.

“Welcome back.” (Y/n) closed the book. “Have a good trip?”

“We had a marvelous time. Too bad you had nowhere to go.” Kirari said, studying the blue of her nails, painted to match the beautiful shade of the water near their resort.

“Oh I’m fine. Getting used to this crazy place is a vacation in itself. You have everything in here. You just need to build a roller coaster or something and you’ll literally be all set.”

“A roller coaster?” Sayaka scoffed. “What a childish notion.”

“Come Sayaka, ignore her.” Kirari beckoned, making a show of kissing Sayaka a little too sensually in polite company.

(Y/n) rolled her eyes and turned the page in her book.

“Ooo, do you have koi somewhere in here? You seem like you’d have a nice koi pond somewhere.” She asked, ignoring their obnoxious display.

“I wonder.” Kirari answered disinterestedly, leading Sayaka away by the waist once she realized (Y/n) didn’t care about their public make out.

“Guess I’ll just have to look around some more. Are you guys going to be around for dinner?”

“You think we’d want to eat dinner with you?” Sayaka’s face only seemed to get redder the more she had to be reminded that (Y/n) existed.

“It’s just a suggestion. I know you two aren’t going to do anything you don’t want to.” (Y/n) said, putting her hands up in mock defense. “I was thinking the weather is nice so I asked the staff if it would be alright to eat out on the terrace… and you are both walking away… okay good talk.”

Well, it could be worse she supposed. Hopefully they would warm up to her eventually, but she could handle a little antagonism. She understood that Kirari and Sayaka had reason to be upset. This wasn’t exactly the future she imagined for herself either, but it was for the good of her family and apparently for the safety of the Momobami Clan too.

She did managed to find a koi pond eventually. In a whole indoor greenhouse-type room she had somehow overlooked in her previous adventures. Yeah, this place was overwhelming, but very neat.

She took dinner on the terrace, unsurprisingly alone, but she did video chat with Terano and Yumi while she ate to talk about how things were going, so that was nice.

When she went upstairs to retire for the night, the pulsing music and other noises that (Y/n) wished she could unhear that were coming from across the hall made it a bit difficult.

She would have thought they’d have sound proofing in a ritzy place like this. Maybe she’d have to hire somebody to do that. She had more money at her disposal now then her family had in five generations. Maybe more. She could afford to sound proof a couple rooms. Kirari probably wouldn’t notice anyway if she and Sayaka kept making a habit of being anywhere (Y/n) wasn’t.

But for now she had the next best thing, earbuds and an assortment of media. She put on a movie and turned off the lights, falling asleep sometime in the middle.

***

(Y/n) was surprised to see Kirari walking into the breakfast nook early the next morning for two reasons. A, it sounded like she had a busy night to be getting up so early and B, (Y/n) was already in there so by that logic Kirari wouldn’t be caught within a hundred foot radius of the space.

“Making your own breakfast? Strange.” Kirari hummed.

(Y/n) put on her most welcoming smile and gestured to the stove.

“Do you want some? I swear it’s not poisoned. I can make some for Sayaka too if she likes.”

“Sayaka already left to go to work. But she would rather be force fed literal poison than eat something you made I wager.” Kirari chuckled. “But I’m curious.”

It was already early as is. Getting up as early as Sayaka must have sounded absolutely dreadful.

(Y/n) scooped up the food from the pan and set it before Kirari. She actually felt a little nervous in doing so.

“It’s nothing fancy obviously, but the flavor is there.”

“Hm. How quaint. Looks like something that Saotome would make. Is this poor people breakfast then?”

No actually, that would be called no breakfast. Is what (Y/n) wanted to say before taking the plate and eating it in front of Kirari. But she didn’t. This was the most Kirari had said to her since their ‘wedding’.

She shrugged instead then turned to get a new plate ready for herself and changed the subject.

“So Terano and the elders sent some documents they would like us to discuss. Do you have time after breakfast or is there a better time later?”

Kirari didn’t answer instead opting to pick at the breakfast before her, (Y/n) sighed.

“I’m going to get the papers. Be right back.” She took a piece of toast and jogged out of the room.

By the time (Y/n) returned to the nook, Kirari was gone. In her place a half eaten plate arranged as a winky face with its tongue sticking out.

When she turned to her own plate, she found a bite taken out of every item on it.

“Oh come on!” She griped.

Guess she would be making a third breakfast after all.

***

(Y/n) made a habit of giving Kirari breakfast when she showed up to the nook and presented her with whatever paperwork they needed to get done. That was when Kirari was most insufferable, but they did manage to get the work done.

That’s how the first few months went. Though Kirari was oddly more tolerable when Sayaka wasn’t around. She could still be petty, but she wasn’t as rude as when Sayaka was present. It seemed like she was over the arrangement but still needed to seem spiteful for Sayaka’s sake.

Whenever Sayaka was out, which seemed to happen a lot lately, Kirari would usually hang around (Y/n) until she had to go somewhere. She claimed it was out of boredom, but (Y/n) didn’t buy it. They were becoming friends.

(Y/n) was scrolling through her phone on while laying in bed one night when Kirari made an unexpected visit.

“You could at least knock, that would be nice.” She said without looking up from her phone.

“It’s you, I know there’s nothing interesting I’d be walking in on.” Kirari flopped down onto (Y/n)’s bed. “Unfortunately.”

“Couldn’t you be bothering Sayaka right now instead?” (Y/n) asked, moving her legs out from under Kirari’s body.

“She’s working late again.” Kirari frowned.

“Again?” (Y/n) looked up from her phone.

Kirari looked troubled while staring up at the ceiling and didn’t answer. (Y/n) sat up and gave Kirari a sympathetic pat.

“Alright, what do you want to do?”

“Can we play that card fish game you told me about?”

“Go fish? Sure.”

(Y/n) kept Kirari company until Sayaka finally came home in the very early hours of the morning. Kirari abruptly left (Y/n) to greet Sayaka. (Y/n) cleaned up the cards, unable to shake the feeling that something bad was coming to a head.

***

(Y/n) was searching the whole mansion for Kirari. They were supposed to have a meeting with the elders to discuss matters pertaining to family business, but Kirari had inexplicably disappeared when it was time to go. (Y/n) was preparing herself to grovel at the elders feet when her phone rang and Kirari’s name popped up on the screen.

“Where are you? I swear, if you left me to go do this by myself—“

“Sayaka has been cheating on me.”

(Y/n) did a full stop.

Sayaka? Cheating? The woman who dedicated dedicated her whole life to Kirari? Who fell out of a five story building for her? That Sayaka? (Y/n) was almost too surprised to speak.

“Oh Kirari, I’m so sorry.”

“Jabami Yumeko…” Kirari slurred, “Out of all people, I never would have gambled on those odds… who am I kidding, I would have.”

“Are you drunk?”

“Not yet, but I will be.”

“Where are you? I’m coming to get you.” (Y/n) was already halfway out the door.

“Leave me to die.” Kirari moaned dramatically.

“Kirari…”

Kirari hung up and (Y/n) swore. She tried calling back, but Kirari wouldn’t pick up. Fortunately she wouldn’t have to cruise around the city looking for her because not long after she received a text from Ririka telling her she could pick Kirari up at her house.

(Y/n) drove up and her heart ached for Kirari. She didn’t know it was possible to see her look so broken. Kirari was laying on the floor in front of Ririka’s couch, a wine glass raised high over her head. She waved it at Ririka as she walked past her to greet (Y/n). Ririka didn’t take the glass and pulled (Y/n) into the kitchen.

“She looks awful. Poor thing. How did this happen?” (Y/n) asked, peering out at the lump still visible from the doorway.

“Apparently it’s been going on for awhile. Kirari went to Sayaka’s office last night to surprise her and caught them together. She’s been here since one in the morning.”

(Y/n)’s phone rang again and she put it to her ear without looking.

“Hello?”

“(Y/n), gimme some more wine. I know Ririka is hiding it.”

“No more wine. That’s not going to make you feel any better. I’ll talk to you in a minute when I’m back in the living room.” She hung up and heard Kirari moan from the other room.

Before she could talk to Ririka some more, her phone rang again and she answered it with a frustrated huff.

“I know you’re hurting right now, but give me a minute, please!”

“What are you talking about?”

Oh, that wasn’t Kirari.

“Terano! Hi, what’s up?”

“You were supposed to be here half an hour ago. The elders are getting restless.” Terano informed. “Where are you? I can’t even get a hold of Kirari.”

“Is it possible we could reschedule? We are having a little trouble right now…”

“No, it has to be today. I can buy you maybe an hour more, but you had better be here not a minute later. The elders are already fuming.”

“Okay, we’ll be there. Sorry Terano.” (Y/n) shoved her phone back in her pocket with a groan.

“I don’t know what to do Ririka.”

“I’ll try to help you sober her up, but there is nothing I can really do about this.”

“Could you maybe give her some clothes to borrow and put them in the bathroom? I’ll bring her up.”

“If you’re sure.” Ririka nodded and went to do as (Y/n) asked.

(Y/n) went back to the living room and sat down on the floor beside Kirari. She didn’t even look over at (Y/n), she just kept staring despondently at the carpet.

“I’m really sorry, Kirari.”

“For what? Did you sleep with Sayaka too?” She murmured bitterly.

“No.” (Y/n) rubbed the back of her neck. She really didn’t know what to say. There was no time for coddling. If they weren’t standing before the elders in an hour, Kirari would have even more problems.

“Kirari, I know you’re upset. You have every right to be, but we need to get you ready for the meeting with the elders.”

“Sayaka used to remind me about things like that. Now she’s too busy screwing Yumeko to remember I exist.”

“Yeah, well it’s her loss. Come on.” (Y/n) hoisted Kirari off of the ground. “Right now we have to get you ready. When we get home, you can do whatever you want, okay?”

Kirari kept a sullen face, but made no fuss about (Y/n) having to half drag her to Ririka’s bathroom.

“Can you help her with this part?” She asked Ririka.

The older twin nodded tiredly. The sooner she got Kirari’s appearance fixed up, the sooner she could go back to sleep.

“See, doesn’t that feel better?” (Y/n) asked, fixing Kirari’s bangs when she and Ririka emerged half an hour later.

Kirari still looked far from her usual well put together self, but she was at least presentable and didn’t smell terribly of wine and sadness.

“I can’t feel anything.” Kirari numbly declared.

“We’re almost at the finish line. Try to keep yourself going for just a few hours more.” (Y/n) patted Kirari’s back, startled when Kirari lowered her head to rest against her shoulder.

“Thank you for your help, Ririka.”

“Not my first time I’ve had to clean up a Kirari mess. Good luck with the elders.” Ririka gave her sister a water bottle for the road and saw them out and waved to them as (Y/n) drove away.

The trip there was a little scary because (Y/n) thought Kirari was going to throw up, but they made it without having an accident and had about five minutes to spare.

“Okay, try to hold it together Kirari. I’ll do all the talking, okay?”

(Y/n) tugged Kirari along. They briefly saw Terano who looked surprised by the way Kirari was holding herself, but there was no time to ask. She gestured to the double doors and the arranged pair went inside. (Y/n) tried to take control of the situation right away, but the elders immediately took notice of Kirari’s weakened state and descended like vultures.

“Such an obvious display of weak emotion!”

“Is this why we had to wait nearly two hours?”

“You’re supposed to be the head of the clan, yet you show up looking like this?”

“Are you truly worthy of such a position?”

“I knew she would never grow up!”

“That’s enough!” (Y/n) sharply proclaimed, jolting everyone in their seats. Kirari looked at her through the eyelashes of her downcast eyes.

“You people are incorrigible, really! You all think her to be an unfeeling monster that wants to destroy everything, so much so that you felt the need to assign her a spouse to try to keep her in line. But now that she is showing genuine emotion, you all want to stomp it out! It’s completely asinine!”

The elders stared in shock. How dare (Y/n) talk back to them like that after they granted her such an important task that brought her family out of the dirt? A few got ready to shout at her, but she didn’t give them the chance.

“You can’t treat her like that. And you wonder why you feel the need to protect the families… seems like the families need protection from you and how you think things should be dealt with around here!” (Y/n) declared. She felt out of breath, she was ready to keep going if she had to, but Kirari put a hand on her shoulder and gave her a small smile.

“Thank you, (Y/n), but I can take it from here.”

Kirari seemed to have regained a little life since (Y/n)’s outburst. Her gaze was sharp enough to draw blood and the elders cowered.

She told the elders all the desired points mentioned that were supposed to be discussed and then left them with a warning of the hell that was to come in the following months.

“I have really been wanting to make some changes about the ways our family operates. I’ve been holding off discussing anything with (Y/n), but I think we could find common ground on some issues.”

They elders paled and leapt over themselves to advise (Y/n) on how to conduct herself, but Kirari was already leading her out of the room, their previous obligations met.

Kirari attempted to get into the driver’s seat, but (Y/n) waved her away.

“You are running on alcohol and zero sleep. Also I’m not sure you’ve ever actually driven before. I’m driving.”

Kirari pouted and shrugged, then got in the passenger seat. (Y/n) got in the driver’s seat and took a deep breath.

“Alright. Do you want to go home, or is there somewhere else you’d like to go?”

“Somewhere else?” Kirari tilted her head to the side.

“Yeah, someplace you like that you can’t get the same experience at home. Someplace that manages to make you feel happy or relaxed when all else fails.”

Kirari thought about it for awhile, blue polished fingers tapping against her knees.

“Can we go tomorrow?”

Momobami Kirari, asking (Y/n) for input? She seemed to be genuinely asking too.

“Of course. Whatever you want.”

“Today I want to lounge in my theatre and eat an obscene amount of fast food.”

“That we can do.”

***

The next few months weren’t easy for Kirari. That was to be expected when her girlfriend since high school accused Kirari of not treating her like her number one, but only after she had been caught cheating did Sayaka share that insecurity.

The day after the affair came to light, Kirari and (Y/n) went to the Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium in Motobu. They had a good time exploring every inch of the place. Even after they saw everything and their feet ached, they visited their most favorite exhibits once more before heading home.

Day after day they grew closer and Kirari began to fall for (Y/n), through their talks and getting to learn (Y/n)’s perspective, a change was brought upon Kirari. She made sure to make-up for their rough beginnings, wanting (Y/n) to know that she really cared about her before proposing they try turning their relationship into a romantic one.

She hid her nervousness in asking (Y/n) on an official date well, but she couldn’t stop the wide, genuine smile on her face from spreading when (Y/n) accepted her proposition.

Then about two years after that, Kirari popped the question.

“Will you marry me, (Y/n)?”

“…we’re already married?” (Y/n) blinked down at Kirari kneeling before her in front of the arowana tank, her hand in Kirari’s.

“Marry me again, for love this time.”

(Y/n) joined Kirari on the ground and hugged her, her heart leaping for joy when Kirari’s arms quickly snapped forward to copy the gesture.

“Okay.”

***

The Momobami Clan had been fundamentally changed. No more raising children to be gambling prodigies forced to be pitted against their siblings and cousins. No more sneaky, underhanded dealings between branches. The rot was taken out of the family, and the elders that could not change their ways were replaced.

The Momobami Clan was healing. It was slow healing, but healing nonetheless.

Once Kirari was certain they weren’t going to slip back into their old ways, she asked (Y/n) another very important question.

“What do you think about children?”

“I like kids. They’re a lot of work, but the journey can be rewarding. Why? What do you think about kids?”

“Fascinating little things. I don’t know why they make any of the choices they do. I never thought about having any myself. As the therapist says, my upbringing with Ririka was less than ideal for healthy development. I suppose I understood that in a way, which is why I never thought about it. But things are different now, and… I think I want to have children.”

“You sound like you’ve put a lot of thought into this.” (Y/n) smiled and Kirari nodded, she took her hand. “Okay, let’s talk about it.”

Before the end of the year, they had adopted a pair of siblings. Kirari could not imagine having them sent off to separate homes, so she resolutely applied to take them both home with (Y/n) supporting her every step of the way. They had never been happier.

hey, do you have any gk headcanons?

Hey babe, yes I do!!!

Aside from the fact that Brad and Nate are married deeply in love, I'll just list some of them ↓↓

Ray may be infamous for smearing whatever sustenance all over his face while ingesting it, he firmly stands behind eating oreo cookies the right way, as backed up by science.

Brad has a terrible taste in clothing, yes, but he's 100% aware of it and the impact his sense of style has on the populace. Some may speculate he's the new frontrunner of the anti-fashion movement, unironically burning a bra in the backlot at 3am, but honestly, Brad just doesn't carry enough fucks in his pockets to rifle through piles of clothing in the mall. He knows he looks good in anything.

Tony is definitely the bury-the-body type of friend. He will tear your ear off bitching about it, delivering a monologue about the fuck ups of the white man until you willingly want to join said body in the grave, but he always has your back.

Rudy wears happy socks.

I've said it before, and I'm saying it again; Nate is the kind of dude who puts so much sugar into any hot beverage your teeth will rot off with one sip. It's disgusting. Everybody hates it.

Nate is also that dude who uses a 10-in-1 body wash and still has the smooth complexion of a 14-day-old infant.

Mike is the best poker player. I know everybody would say Brad is, but this man can play a table with his poker face like no other. Is he cheating? Are the invisible/blonde eyebrows the defining factor in hiding his true intentions? Nobody knows.

Q-tip and Christesson recorded a rap album once in a dingy garage. It was actually quite good. The grittiness and the neighbor's dog barking in the background added to the vibe. Everybody has a copy.

Brad most definitely did not cry a little when Nate proposed. He didn't, they're all lying. There was a lash stuck in the corner of his eye. Do you even understand how much that can hurt? Exactly.

Nate will remember the birthday of his coworker's cousin's sister's son but will forget why he went to the supermarket in the first place when he gets there if he doesn't make a list. Brad all too happily makes fun of him but is deeply mystified at the same time.

Brad and Nate are that boring couple who will stay in during the weekends because curling up together on the couch watching a dumb action movie or pointing out everything wrong with The Hurt Locker and just spending time together, in each other's orbit, without any distractions or scrutiny, is very precious and I think they wouldn't be that big into PDA anyway so they take whatever they can get.

Thank you for the ask anon!! Have a nice day!!💜💜

OBEY ME HEADCANON: THE PERKS OF HIS SIN

Demon Bros as the avatars of each sin have a few little tricks up their sleeves!

Lucifer - Pride

When he first becomes a demon he doesn't really understand his sin

He doesn't know how this makes him the most powerful though accurately categorizes him as the eldest

What could pride even do?

It's when he picks up a harp for the first time since The Fall that he realizes the potential

The instrument lay dormant in his hands until he cautiously plucked a few strings

His ears perked up a bit at the pleasant sound, surprising himself as he was terrible at music previously

Lucifer continued plucking until a familiar song came from the instrument

Rushing to a foreign music booklet, Lucifer realizes he can now read music

He spends the week seeing if he can transfer his instant learning to other activities or skills

As it turns out, he can

Though, due to his pride, he can only instantly learn something if he believes he can do it

This is why horny lucifer is best lucifer

Mammon - Greed

Also doesn't understand why greed is so important

After a while pieces together that eldest three's sins corrupt souls but the younger four corrupt bodies

Deciding to test it out, Mammon takes a vacation to the Human Realm gambling tents just a few hundred years after Cain and Abel

He accurately predicts when someone's luck has run out due to greed and can manipulate others into feeling greedier

Mammon begins to gamble with a modest amount of money

He is accused of cheating at first because no matter what game he's played he's won

But hes now an undefeated poker champion somewhere

Despite his incredible ability to use greed for his advantage, making him rich wherever he goes, he also feels an insatiable need to possess

canonly its hoarding

It's a golden cage of sorts

Leviathan - Envy

Levi's little perk has to start with him

A bit more unconscious perk than anyone else's

If he's jealous of something, other people immediately resonate with what he's feeling

It's why when one demon brother gets so close to you, all demon brothers are suddenly dog-piling you with attention

He realized his talent several centuries ago by manipulating Narcissus into envying himself

It makes him prime for command of Diavolo's navy

Though this is not to say Levi can overwrite someone's feelings

The envy must already be present for him to manipulate it

Though in the Devildom there is no shortage of his sin

Satan - Wrath

Wrath is a physical route for anger

And Satan finds he has plenty of it

In his early days, he found he was great at physical fights

Though, after a while he realizes its because wrath guides his body through the motions

His mind blanks and his movements are completely in the rhythm of the battle

If someone could throw a punch at Satan, he could probably dish out the exact same punch twice

The only drawback is the exhaustion

If wrath is the physical translation of anger, it is an energy

Therefore, something has to feed it

Satan often pays with his physical form tearing at itself

So, he sticks to battle strategy as a way to channel his sin

Asmodeus - Lust

similarly to the rest of the younger brothers, Asmo's sin corrupts the body

of course he is naturally beautiful but asmo's secret is camouflage

he appears beautiful to everyone because his physical form transfixes others through illusion

the first time he notices this is when his brothers cant decide what eye color he has

they give out wildly different answers but all agree on his strawberry blonde locks

in terms of others, asmodeus cannot influence people the way leviathan can

but he can lure them through illusion

he is also fueled by the chaos of his sin because its messy and dramatic which amplifies the effectiveness of his magic

however, asmo realizes that no one has ever truly seen him

Beelzebub - Gluttony

some might be tempted to say raw strength

but actually Beel can't be poisoned

don't be misguided though, he can definitely taste when food is bad

but he's never experienced a foodborne illness

not a single stomach ache nor food poisoning

this man could lick a gas station floor and be alright

they found out when mammon poisoned him on accident and Beel was just fine the next day

Satan proceeded to test his younger brother to the limit but found that Beel's stomach simply processed all food normally

the cost is mood swings

horrific, off-putting mood swings when he's hungry coupled with his physical size and physicality is often equal to most of his brothers' combined strengths

so Beel spends much of his youth taming this side of him, and holding his brothers together, so that despite his rank and age, no one will have to look after him

its his gift to his brothers

Belphegor - Sloth

It might actually be unfair to put Belphie as the last brother

but its literally just his laziness

his magic is powerful, condescending, and manipulative

luckily he is either too sleepy or too neutral to use it

but dream magic warps your emotions, sucking you in and making you fear all that once kept you safe

because the fabric of reality in dreams is his to mold

the drawback here is that Belphegor must be close enough to you to use it

not physically but emotionally

he must emotionally understand you in order to manipulate your dreams

which, of the brothers, limits his powers greatly

he opts to share a room with his twin because Beel usually has the most vivid nightmares about The Fall
