Little Hare (Tsugaru's Route)

After seeing Mobageheroine's entry of the MC of Rose in the Embers (check it out she's adorable), I couldn't resist making one about the MC in Takaomi Tsugaru's route of Her Love in the Force over all the season so far too. She's such a sweetheart and i really like how her hairstyle varies. She also has a bunch of chibi artworks so there's that too.

She truly is worthy of the title of Tsugaru's Little Hare - the apple of his eye.

sweet like sugar - luke hughes

in which, luke’s girlfriend is too nice for her own good.

one thing about dating a hockey player was that they very rarely got any time off, luna was no stranger to this. so, whenever her boyfriend got time off work, they made sure to utilise that time.

both luna and luke were currently getting ready for a day on the boardwalk. well, luke was already ready and sat on the end of the bed scrolling through his phone while his girlfriend tried on different variations of possible outfits.

“what about this one?” luna asked her boyfriend as she walked out of the bathroom in yet another outfit. this one was a light wash pair of wide leg jeans, a pink baby tee and just her regular converses that she wore everywhere. luke raised his eyes from his phone screen to look at the fifth, and hopefully the last, outfit of the morning.

“you look good, babe. but you might get cold.” he offered honestly. “you’re so right, let me get changed.” when the girl turned her back, luke jumped from his seat and grabbed the first hoodie he found hanging in his closet. upon entering the bathroom, he snuck up behind the girl and shoved the hoodie over her head.

luna looked at her boyfriend through the mirror with a deadpanned face as her hair was now a mess. luke smiled innocently before placing an obnoxious kiss in her cheek, “perfect.”

“wearing a jumper defeats the whole purpose of wearing the cute shirt, no one will be able to see it.” luna complained as she leaned backwards into her boyfriend. “i saw it.” luke rebutted before grabbing his girlfriends hand and dragging her out of the bathroom and into the living room of his shared apartment with his older brother.

said older brother was currently sitting on the couch alongside his friend, trevor, who was visiting for the week. the two sat on their phones in a shared sense of boredom. jacks eyes flicked over to his brother and his girlfriend, who both looked dressed to go somewhere.

“where are you guys going?”

“the boardwalk.” luke said as he fished his car keys out of his pocket. “did you guys wanna come?” luna offered with a smile.

“no, they’re fine.” luke immediately declined the offer, not wanting to spend his day off with his brother and his annoying friend. “we’d love to.” trevor grinned before jumping up and holding out a hand to luna, “m’lady.”

luna giggled before grabbing the weirdos hand and allowing him to guide her out of the apartment.

luke’s eyes shifted from the door to his brother who was feigning innocence as he too jumped up from the couch. “you guys aren’t coming.”

“luna offered.” jacks face of fake innocence turned into a shit eating grin as he too left the apartment. luke rolled his eyes before following after the trio, mumbling under his breath about how he was going to kill trevor zegras.

upon arriving to the boardwalk, luke hung back with jack as trevor dragged his girlfriend around as if she was his own. he took her to the roller coasters and even won her a big stuffed teddy bear from one of those game stalls that luke knew he would be sleeping next to tonight.

he didn’t blame luna, she was having fun and was losing track of everything around her. he wasn’t going to cause a scene and wipe the big smile off her face just because he wasn’t having a good time.

it got to the period of time in the day where trevor was begging luna to go on the ferris wheel with him, but the girl was quick to shut down the idea with a simple shake of her head.

“jack can go with you, it could be romantic.” luna laughed before pointing at the older hughes boy who was also shaking his head. “i’m not doing anything remotely romantic with you, z.”

“yes, you are.” trevor retorted before grabbing the boy and dragging him to line up. luna laughed at the sight of jack berating trevor whilst the ducks players simply laughed in retaliation.

her eyes travelled to behind her, where her boyfriend stood with his hands shoved in his pockets and a less than impressed expression on his face. luna approached him hesitantly before holding up her bear, “look what i got.”

luke offered a half assed smile, which only made luna’s fall. “what’s wrong?”

“nothings wrong, i like the bear.”

“this isn’t about the bear, what’s wrong?” she asked him again, wrapping her arms about the stuffed toy as she shuffled closer to her boyfriend so she was standing right in front of him.

“it’s stupid.” luke rolled his eyes, his hands now fidgeting with the strings of the hoodie she was wearing. “it can’t be stupid if it’s made you upset, luke.” luna explained as she grabbed his hands to stop from playing with the strings of her hoodie.

“i just- i wanted today to just be us two. we don’t spend that much time together cause i’m always busy with hockey and you’re always busy with school, and i don’t want to spend the one day we have together with my brother and trevor zegras.”

luna could have laughed at the disgust luke held in his voice when talking about the zegras boy, but she refrained for the sake of her boyfriend. instead, she opted to smiling sadly up at her boyfriend. “i’m sorry for inviting them.”

“i’m not upset at you for inviting them, i’m angry at them for accepting the offer.” luke told her honestly, moving to be beside her and wrapping an arm around her shoulder.

luna laughed slightly before moving forward until his arm fell from her shoulder. she then grabbed his hand and began to drag him forward.

“what are we doing?”

“you’re winning me a bear.”

The moment Kara heard Sam was coming to town she knew there would be trouble.

Not that she had anything against the woman, quite the opposite, she absolutely adored Sam. But her visits tend to be a bit… chaotic.

It started not long after Ruby turned old enough to babysit Esme by herself. Sam would fly to National city for a weekend, leaving Ruby at the Danvers-Olsen house for a paid sleepover with Esme, and dragged the superfriends to the nearest Bar to get them all shitfaced drunk.

Kara would not easily forget waking up on the roof of a ferris wheel once, wearing a clown outfit and hugging a pogo stick. She did forget the events leading up to that point due to the large amount of alcohol she consumed the night before.

Kara briefly toyed with the idea to visit her parents on Argo for the duration of Sam's visit, or at the very least her first night. But she hasn't seen her in so long, and with Kara's very busy schedule she decided it's a good opportunity as any to take some time off and enjoy a night out with her friends. She just hoped there would be no stumbling drunkenly into any more theme parks.

That's why she was very surprised to learn that Sam's new adventurous plan was a simple game night at Kara’s apartment.

With alcohol, of course.

Kara kept her drinking at a minimum, just enough to get some nice buzz out of it, but a far cry from a complete black out. She wasn't the only one, most participants had seemingly decided to avoid a similar fate. Much to Sam's disappointment, Kara assumed, since she kept asking them to do shots.

After a few tame games of Settlers of Catan and a round of pictionary, Sam decided to spice things up a bit. They started with a game of 'would you rather' that slowly evolved into an open question format where everyone answered the same questions.

"Favourite… type of apple?" It was Nia's turn to ask, she spent almost 5 minutes struggling to find a question before settling on one.

"Really? That's the best you got?" Sam asked disappointed.

"I was panicking! That's the only thing I could think of!" Nia said defensively, her arms raising in the air in surrender. "Do you have anything better?"

"You know it," Sam said with a sly smile.

"Go ahead then."

"Alright," Sam clapped her hands, moving her gaze from one person to the next slowly before she continued. "Not including your actual partner, who would you marry out of the people in this room?"

"And I can't choose Nia?" Brainy asked, his hands deep in Nia's hair, drunkenly caressing her hair between his fingers. He may have gotten slightly drunker than most by trying to be nice and accepting most of Sam's shots.

"That would be against the rules." Sam smiled and twisted the wine glass in her hand.

"That's preposterous!" He exclaimed. Nia's head recoiled with a small groan of pain as Brainy accidentally hit her head. "There is no possibility in the multiverse I would pick anyone but her!" He announced, Nia remembered to move her head in time to avoid the second hit.

"You're no fun," Sam rolled her eyes. "Nia?" She smirked.

"Only Brainy, of course." She proclaimed loudly. Brainy rewarded her with a kiss on the forehead while she mouthed 'Kelly' under her breath.

Sam winked to her in return, while the rest tried to hide their chuckle.

"Kelly, you're next for no particular reason," Sam turned to her with a smile.

"Nia," Kelly replied with a matching smile. "For no particular reason."

"Alex?" Sam changed the topic before Brainy could interject.

"You know, I think we could've worked out," she weaved her hand towards Sam's direction.

"Yeah, we could've had some fun," Sam smirked back at her. "Alright, Kara, what about you?" She turned to face her.

"Lena," Kara answered without much thinking.

"Well, she is rich, it makes sense," Sam said under the rim of her glass.

"Rich wife is very convenient," Alex nodded in agreement.

"I'm not choosing her because of her money." The idea of reducing Lena to her finance, a walking wallet if you will, infuriated her. She was so much more than that. Kara put down her empty glass and stood up a bit faster than she intended.

"Then why her?" Sam challenged with a raised eyebrow.

Kara blinked in surprise, was it not obvious? "Because she is amazing! She's brilliant, smart, kind and… pretty," she added with a small blush creeping up her neck. "Also a great listener and problem solver, which is important in a relationship. And-"

"Yeah okay, we got it," Alex cut her off.

Kara gave her a mocking look in response, eyebrows squinted and tongue sticking out as she walked up to the kitchen to refill her glass.

"Lena, who is your pick?" Sam continued with the game.

"Kara, of course." The way she said it, as if there were no other options, filled Kara with warmth she was not expecting. She also wasn't sure why it made her smile so much, but it did. Then again they were best friends, it would be awkward if they were not to pick each other, right?

"Hey Kara, can you get me a beer?" Alex called out.

Kara studied her for a second. "No, you were being annoying."

"Wha- Kara!" Alex whined.

"Get one yourself," Kara shrugged, and poured herself a glass of white wine.

"Kara, can you give me a glass of red, please?" Lena asked. Her voice was so soft, it sent shivers down her spine.

"Of course," Kara quickly pulled another wine glass from the upper cupboard and placed it on her kitchen island.

"Hey, I asked you first," Alex shouted in retaliation, as she finished filling the second glass. "So you're getting Lena's drink and not mine?"

"Yes," Kara answered with a smile, walking back to the living room while maintaining eye contact with her sister, knowing it would annoy her more.

"Why?" Alex challenged, squinting her eyes while maintaining the eye contact.

"Wife privileges," Kara shrugged and took her place next to Lena, shifting a bit closer to her this time before she placed her glass on the table.

Kara almost forgot about the whole thing, until a week later when Lena brought it up. They were sitting in Lena's new office, talking about her new conjoined plan for both her foundation and the newly reformed L-Corp for a new source of green energy. A top secret plan, but Lena was talking about it with so much enthusiasm that Kara couldn't help herself, asking more and more questions, eager to learn more about it. Soon after, Kara found herself in the halls of the foundation's labs, Lena excitedly telling her about the project in detail.

"This sounds amazing, Lena! But I thought this was top secret, not that I'm complaining. I love seeing you this enthusiastic, but how come I get to hear about it?" Kara asked eventually.

Lena was quiet for a moment, before she answered "wife privileges," with a shrug, her cheeks slightly pink.

Kara brought it up next, when she forced Lena to leave the office at a reasonable time. Claiming 'wife privileges' as the reason Lena has to follow her home and relax for a bit.

Lena later used it as an excuse to steal a fry off of Kara’s plate, even though she insisted she only wanted a salad. When she met Kara raised brow she simply shrugged and claimed “wife privileges.”

It quickly became an inside joke for them, a reason for them to do a nice thing for each other or an excuse to get away with stuff; like buying lunch, stealing clothes or bringing surprise pastries. Things they were already doing anyway, they just had a better excuse to do it more often.

"Hey, it's been a month since that game night," Kara said, raising her very fancy wine glass to her lips. Lena invited her to a fancy Italian place that opened recently. It was right after Kara mentioned a craving for pasta the day before.

"Are you suggesting it's our anniversary?" Lena smirked, leaning back on her chair. She didn't need to be specific, she knew Lena knew what she was talking about.

"Happy anniversary." Kara raised her wine glass and smiled. She loved how quick Lena could understand her.

"Happy anniversary." Lena raised her own glass to toss it with hers, smiling her wide smile with the dimples that made Kara all warm inside. She was so captivated by the smile that it took Kara a few moments to realise the waiter was standing right beside them.

The meal was, of course, amazing, not only because of the quality Italian cuisine, but her fantastic company. Kara always felt most like herself when she was with Lena, she wasn't sure why but she made her feel at peace.

They finished their meal, still deep in conversation, sipping the remaining of their wine when the waiter appeared. Presenting them with a complementary tiramisu with a candle and two spoons, wishing them a happy anniversary.

Kara was about to correct him when Lena thanked him with a nod and gestured for Kara to dig in. She couldn't help the goofy smile that spread on her face. Out of all the inside jokes so far, she had the feeling that that was their best one yet.

Karina (Aespa) as Your Girlfriend

Requests:

"aespa’s karina as your gf please?"

"Can you do Karina from aespa as a girlfriend please?"

"I would like to request Aespa Karina as your girlfriend 😍"

"hi!! i hope your having a great day and i hope your doing well, can i request aespa’s karina as your gf? thank you~"

"Hello! Can I please request Aespa’s Karina as your girlfriend? Thank you!"

A/N: cannot believe it has been over 2 years since I've written anything lol. so here's a lil something to try get the creative juices flowing again wOO 🤭

- C

when 99% of the relationship is you just staring at karina and wondering how someone can be that beautiful. as you SHOULD

idk why but i feel like karina is the perfect person for the trope where she would make a habit of going to the same coffee shop every day even though she hates coffee,, just because you were the cute barista that worked there

despite her cool and composed aura, she unfortunately had no idea how to talk to you outside of ordering a drink; her brain would just fizzle out whenever she tried to strike up further conversation 🥲

so you had to be the one to take the first step, which took a hot minute because perhaps. miss yoo jimin had a sliiiiiightly threatening aura at first (you quickly learned she was really just a cutie patootie behind that stoic face she tended to wear. teehee)

after gaining enough courage, you ended up asking her out for coffee because you thought hm,, she comes here every day for coffee she must love it!

safe to say it was a little surprising when she responded with a very embarrassed "...i don't even like coffee"

with the tips of her ears flushing red as she had to explain her reasoning behind coming in every day

you decided instead to take her to the carnival that came to town every summer

[insert cliche top of the ferris wheel kiss here]

and every summer since then you've always gone to the carnival together, the two of you running around to go on all the rides like little kids, never getting tired of it even though you do the same thing every time it comes

she's the kind of girl to be super head over heels for you but never admit it until those times where you lay side by side in bed at night, your eyes doing your best to see each other's silhouettes in the dark

her hand coming up to rest on your cheek, thumb gently caressing your face as she reminds you of how much you mean to her

but don't bring it up the morning after unless you wanna get hit with the "idek what you're talking about i would never be so sappy 🤨"

fit checks!!!

refuses to leave the house in said fit unless you send a paragraph in all caps hyping her tf up (it's just what she deserves!)

queen of soft launching your relationship on social media 🥹

like IG stories of flowers you gave her, or your hands intertwined, but nothing too much more than that

because it's her relationship and she doesn't need the world to know about every little thing you two get up to,, that's for her to know and her only

well......... her and the aespa girlies who can't help but smile every time their leader comes home and launches herself face first into her pillow, gushing over how much she likes you and how nice your date was

(which she will NEVER admit happens. she's no softie, okay? okay. yes she is hehehehe)

ningning stealing karina's phone at the dorm and blowing your phone up with memes n sending off guard pics of Karina lol <3

Loves going for walks in the park nearby, no matter the weather or time, especially if there's something on her mind and she just wants to get some fresh air and chat it out with you

lives in your hoodies whether you like it or not, you have no choice cuz girlie just treats your wardrobe as hers

never brings PJs when she's staying at yours as an excuse for you to lend her even more clothes

brings a film camera everywhere,, her favourite thing is when the film fills up and she gets the pictures developed so she can bring them back to you and you can look back over the memories shared together

scrapbooking together !!! will even spend hours in the stationary shop looking for the perfect pen/washi tape to use for it hehe.

Can't stand it but also loves it when you compliment her as often as you do

(but it hurts ur heart a little when you feel she doesn't believe what you say is true, you wish she could feel the same love she has for you for herself too :[ )

so you pledge to always be there to lift her up and be her #1 fan!! in both day to day life and as a My of course

which meanssss first row seats to all the aespa concerts, practice nights, just generally supporting her through thick and thin, and she will no doubt do the same for you!

and that one day you came to an aespa fansign to surprise her 🥹 she had to hold back all the affection she wanted to give you :((((

gaming nights 🤓 and by gaming i mean gardenscapes....... god she's such a lil nerd

anime nights 🤓 her getting all excited when her faves come on screen, smacking you on the leg repeatedly with joy while she explains what's going on (because as much as you enjoy sitting down to watch her favourite shows w her, you really didn't understand half of it LOL)

loooooves late night arcade dates

especially so she can win plushies in the claw machines,,, or rather, you can win them for her (so chivalrous 😁)

her love for claw machine plushies gets so bad that your bed now has a mountain of them stacked up that you have to throw off before bed everyyyyy night omg

not to change the subject but like. Karina's morning cuddles 🥹

or for the mornings where you wake up late, your eyes opening to the sound of her padding back into the bedroom to check on you, a smile creeping onto your face as you feel the bed sink where she sits by your side

and when she leans over to kiss your forehead, her gorgeous locks framing her face while her cute glasses slip down her nose 🥹🥹🥹 IM GONNA CRY

tldr; the softest girl that just wants to be loved the way she loves you 😔

Fairground

summary: no one wants to run into their ex at the fair

warnings: jealous Nat, very brief mention of throw up, not proofread hehe

a/n: based off a request I can’t find the ask for

word count: 1.3k

-

“Nat, when we get there can we get ice cream?”

“You’re still hungry after breakfast? I thought you’d be full from all those waffles we made this morning” Natasha responded as she looked at you through the rearview mirror. A smirk on her face as she watched you buzz in your car seat from all the sugar.

“I was, but not now. So I have room for ice cream”

“Well what does mommy say? Can squish have ice cream when we touch down?”

Wanda turned in her seat to look at you as she spoke. She preached politeness so she had to practice it too. “Only if we promise to not eat it so fast we’re sick on the first ride we go on. I’m not having a repeat of last time”

This piqued Natasha’s interest, “What happened last time”

“Missy here swore she was hungry enough for funnel cake, then proceeded to throw up on the teacups after scarfing it down in record time. The operator had to stop the ride and everything”

“Now that doesn’t sound like much fun. Are you sure you’ll be able to keep it down this time?

“I’m sure. Can I get two scoops?”

Wanda sat back in her chair and softly chuckled to herself. She was glad an extra set of clothes found their way into the day bag this time.

-

They made it to the fair just before lunch time. Normally this would be a problem regarding crowds and large lines for attractions, but when Tony Stark was involved, money solved everything. And money had hired out the whole fair for the Avengers and Co.

“Right” Wanda started as she knelt down so she was eye level with you. Your excited eyes darted around her face as she spoke. “What are the rules?”

“Don’t talk to strangers”

“What else?”

“Please and thank yous?”

“Yep, manners are a big one. What’s the most important rule of them all?”

“Always stay by your side. Or Nats. And no running off”

“Spot on” she congratulated you with a kiss on the cheek and a tickle of your ribs. She’d never get tired of your laugh.

Natasha held her hand out for you to hold, leading you through the entrance of the fair towards the welcoming gazebo Tony had requested be set up. A communal space equipped with air conditioning to tame the heat, lockers and whatever other luxury his credit card happened to pay for.

Everyone and their mother within the company had been invited. Well everyone on payroll and an extended invitation to their immediate family, there wasn’t a shortage of friendly faces.

“Clint, hey!” Wanda called with a wave of a hand over to him and his family. It seemed to do the trick as he smiled and jogged over.

“You guys made it just on time. We’re about to head over to the big wheel before it gets too hot to be sat in a tin box in the sky. What do you say?”

“Do you wanna go with Uncle Clint?” Wanda asked.

“What about ice cream?”

The concerned look on your face was evident of the dilemma you found yourself in. If you went in the ferris wheel, you might miss out on your treat.

“Why don’t you go on the ride with Nat and everyone else, and mommy will go get you some ice cream so it’s ready for you when you get off, how about that?”

The reach for Natasha’s hand and the toothy smile you presented was enough of an answer.

-

Wanda was hot.

She could literally feel the sweat beading on the back of her neck.

There was no respite of shade in the line for ice cream. She hoped and prayed the sunscreen she applied earlier was doing its job.

She’d make sure she got some waters’ too.

Just as she was about to move forwards in line, a hand gently placed itself on her clammy shoulder, grabbing her attention away from the vendor.

“Fancy seeing you here” the voice said. And by its lilt, Wanda knew exactly who it was without even needing to turn around.

“Olivia, hey. How’re you?”

“I’m good, thank you. You look well. Where’s Squish? Don’t tell me she’s ditched you for the teacups again”

Wanda winced slightly at the nickname. It was one Natasha had started to use for you herself. And she didn’t have the heart to tell her about its past use.

“She’s good, yeah. She’s dragged Nat on the ferris wheel with the Barton’s. I’m on icecream duty” she said as she gestured towards the line she had to leave to have this conversation.

“Ah yeah, I heard about you and Natasha. Gossip even travels to the depths of the lower levels of Stark Tower”

The tone Olivia used was laced with judgment. Gossip. As if her relationship with Natasha couldn’t be anything but playground talk.

“Well, you know what they say about interpersonal relationships-“

“Libby!”

Your excited scream and frantic feet came barrelling towards the woman’s legs. Her arms coming out to buffer your impact into her.

“Hello sweet girl” She exclaimed, bending down to hug you. “You’ve gotten so big!”

“And I’ve lost two teeth, look!”

You opened your mouth wide, revealing gaps in your teeth where two used to be housed.

“That’s so cool! Did the tooth fairy come?”

“Yep! I got ten whole dollars!”

Olivia looked up at the sudden shadow that blankets her crouching form. Finding Natasha standing over her, arm possessively wrapped around Wanda’s waist.

Standing she said, “Miss Romanoff, it’s a pleasure to meet you” hand coming out to shake Natasha’s.

Natasha awkwardly ignored the gesture. Instead reaching out to you, tucking your small body between her and your mothers.

“I’m sorry, do I know-“

“Olivia, I work down in payroll” she announced. “Me and Wanda used to be together”

The tension was palpable. It was if you could reach out and touch it.

“Right, well it was nice meeting you” Natasha said, before turning to Wanda. “Squish wants to go on the teacups. Want me to take her or do you and Libby want to buddy up?”

Wanda winced again knowing full well Olivia had heard the whole interaction as she retreated into the distance.

“Cmon Nat. I didn’t know she was going to be here”

“You didn’t know a Stark employee was going to be at a company organised day out?” Natasha's eyebrow quirked. Arms folding defensively in front of her.

“You know I didn’t mean it like that. She came up to me! I was in the line for ice cream and she ambushed me”

“Can I have ice cream now?” you asked, looking up innocently at the two women.

“In a second, sweetie. Natasha, you seriously can’t say you didn’t know about her. You know everything about everyone”

“Just because I knew of her doesn’t mean I liked seeing her act like that around you. Around Y/N. All friendly and close”

It wasn’t until Wanda saw how pouty Natasha was that it dawned on her.

“You’re jealous,” it was more of a statement than a question.

“No I’m not. I just didn’t like her. She gave off weird vibes”

“You do know there’s nothing to worry about, right?”

All Natasha did was look down at you and shrug. Trying to avoid eye contact with her girlfriend. “If it’s any consolation, Y/N never wanted Olivia to go in the ferris wheel with her”

Natasha hoisted you up on her hip when you started pulling at the edge of her shirt. Nosing your sun cream scented skin trying to calm herself down.

“What else?” Natasha asked after a moment.

“Hm?”

“What else do I do better than her?”

Wanda snorted, “I think if I listed them all we’d be here long after the fair closes”

“I’m willing to wait. Oh look, and we’ve got a food truck right next to us. How convenient”

“Ice cream?” You asked again. Getting impatient.

“The child has spoken. A vanilla cone with a side of complements please!”

Good job Wanda had compliments to spare.

IRL/OC Bracket FINAL: C & G vs Michael and Mantis!

C & G propaganda:

Ok so these next few paragraphs are copy pasted from what I wrote on queering the map. Hope it makes you cry :) (Entries were written around mid-2020, with the last being written in 2023)

My school had a field trip to this park, my best friend and I found a quiet spot under some trees. I set up the blanket/mat I had brought, she propped up an umbrella. We laid down beside each other face-to-face. That was the first time I ever felt tempted to kiss someone. To this day I consider it as one of my gayest moments (right next to asking her out and later on asking her to be my qpp on a ferris wheel XD)

November(?) 2017 - We were talking about your maybe-crush on a friend when you mentioned that you used to have a crush on me. I confessed about my past crush on you too and started flirting with you. "Have you moved on from her? Will you be my girlfriend? We don't have to put a label on it or anything yet we can just-" "Yes" We dated for a month (full of silly puns and cheek kisses and gifts from Japan) before we broke up (can you blame us? we were twelve and our dads found out) but you're still my very best friend. I love you G - C

February 2020 - Day of the school fair, I had everything planned for a perfect day for you and me... until you brought along a classmate who had no one to hang out with and you were too kind to say no. We went on all of the rides, the three of us, and you mentioned how you have always wanted someone to dedicate a song to you at the song booth. I went out to reserve one, and then I stayed with you until both of you had to leave for your shifts. That's when I put my plan into action. I reserved a sunflower at the Lovebooth (I knew you liked sunflowers because of a certain character (the roses were way too romantic anyways)) and when you came back we got into line at the Ferris wheel with our other friends. While waiting my dedicated song finally played, and you turned to me with nearly the happiest smile I've ever saw on you. When we were getting closer I went to get my reserved sunflower, but the line was slow so I ended up asking my aunt to hold it for me. When the line was nearly there I got it back from her and our other friends helped me to hide it (Your sister wanted to ride with us but I told her my plan and she changed her mind). You got on and as you turned to face me I held out your sunflower. When we got to the top of the Ferris Wheel I asked what I had been planning to ask you for a week. "I don't know much about it yet, I still have to research more but... G, would you be my queer platonic partner?" You smiled the happiest smile I've ever seen on you that day. G, we haven't talked much since quarantine started, but I want you to know that I love you. I'm not sure what kind (romantic or platonic) but I know that you have a special place in my heart. I can't wait for this to be all over and for us to be by each other's side, drawing and reading and just talking about the things we never share with anybody else. I love you - C

July 2023 - The school fair was over 3 years ago, can you believe? So much has changed since then, quarantine happened, we were reduced to online classes, and I ended up moving to the States for a chance of a better life. We kept in touch, of course, through messages screaming over fandoms and platonic marriages on minecraft servers (how dare you for suggesting that before i knew abt cbeeduo >:( ) and like 5 meet ups over the summers. But it wasn't enough, and timezones and a desire for a more physical (in a actually there beside you sort of way) relationship eventually culminated in you asking to break it off two weeks before I met up with you in the Philippines. God damn it G, why didn't you wait? I had it all planned in my head. The night of my debut, as all my guests were leaving, I would take you to a private corner where we would talk, and I admit to you that yes, maybe my feelings for you turned out more romantic than I initially thought, but with the physical distance it wasn't right for us to pursue something of that nature, especially as I had wanted to try dating in college and didn't want to end up hurting you. I would say I love you and maybe leave you with a kiss, and that was how we'd gain closure. Well the kiss didn't happen and you laughed when I scolded you for not waiting before you admitted that yeah, you felt the same way but also agreed that our level of commitment wasn't right for us, not anymore. You promised me that if by the time we were done with college we were both single we could try again, but I won't hold you to that. G, thank you for being my bestest friend and first love, and I'm sorry that life didn't work out the way we had planned. I love you though, whether romantically or platonically, and I hope you're happy with where you end up in life - Yours always, C

anddddd that's it! veered a little romantic at times, but whats more queerplatonic than a relationship that blurs the lines of platonic and romantic eh? at the end of the day, we're still best friends and we care for each other deeply, even if we no longer officially label it as a qpr. hope our story made you cry >:D

More C & G Propaganda!

Michael and Mantis propaganda:

we're both boygirls and girlfaggots and boydykes, you literally cannot get queerer than this. gay in every direction

we're also both autistic and have adhd. leads to some fun conversations where one of us listens intently while the other is going off about whatever interest they've got the brainworms for at the moment and it's the most fun i will ever have (common topics are: good movies, tragedies and shipwrecks, cannibalism, the absurdly powerful dnd podcast just roll with it, and many more)

we're long distance and we really need this win bc the earth is literally homophobic and keeping us apart and making us sad :(

michael has this whole mushroom/lichen/microorganisms/rot thing going and i have the space thing going and they're essentially the same things but on different scales (life and death and life in death etc etc), so we're thematically compatible. we were made for each other frfr

uuhhhh mental health improvement i guess

we tricked at least three people into thinking we were dating before we actually started dating. not on purpose

we started dating on april fools! that's fun!

same trauma and same issues. we get a lot of mileage out of relating to each other

i keep breaking my sleep schedule for him

uhm. also. we're really niceys and cool and stuff :3

They get better at kissing.

They get better at a lot of things.

Shifting from best friends to boyfriend and girlfriend is never even discussed - it just happens organically.

Kissing becomes more than a pastime and it's Laura who has to pump the breaks whenever things get a little too heated.

Travis doesn't mind - he'll wait for her. When she's ready, he'll be ready too. He doesn't have to lose his virginity anytime soon - so long as he loses it with her, he's happy.

Neither of them have made the big declaration of feelings, but it's obvious in the way they look at one another and speak to each other, the way in which Laura's fallen asleep on his chest just listening to his heartbeat so many times.

Travis turns nineteen when Laura gives him the best birthday present ever. They're down by the shore side where they first met, bathed in a twilight glow when Laura whispers, "So...my First Embarkment is soon."

He knows this, but they haven't talked about it much. There are so many details about being a Mer that Laura can't reveal. Her people are terribly secretive.

But some things he knows - like how they travel and blend in with humans. How their society works beneath the water. How they can harness and use some magic - although Laura never gets into the specifics of that, because the details of their magic is very private.

But still - he knows things and knows in a year's time, she'll be twenty and of age for her First Embarkment. Which means she has several options laid out before her.

She can spend the next ten years still tethered to this lake or she can move to another body of water and try life there.

Or...

Travis feels breathless even as he asks, "Yeah?"

...as if he doesn't know. As if he hasn't been thinking about it for some time now. Laura nods and looks at him. She takes one of his hands in hers and whispers, "Yeah and I was thinking...I mean, you-you know how I've been putting off us, ah-?"

She doesn't say it, but she doesn't have to, as Travis pushes up his glasses with his free hand, "I know. And like I've told you before, it's okay. We don't have to-!"

Laura stops his words with a kiss. She finds it's the easiest way to stop him once he starts rambling. After the kiss, she smiles softly, "Anyway, I've been putting it off because I-I was thinking we could do that as a celebration, y'know? After my First Embarkment."

Travis feels dizzy. Delirious with excitement as he gasps, "Are you saying-?"

"I...I'm going to choose the land " Laura says, taking his face in both her hands, "I'm going to choose you."

Travis has never felt so light, so wonderful. He has no doubt his face is shining with his happiness as he lets out a pleased whoop and draws her close, as he kisses her, as he lets himself be consumed by a joy he didn't know he could ever even feel.

A joy that bursts like a soap bubble in the next week. According to Ma, Travis has been 'neglecting' his brotherly duties (doing god knows what, god knows where!) and she sternly (and physically) reminds him of it.

Once the sweaty hand prints from her most recent (and vicious) slaps fade, he asks both Chris and Bobby what they'd like to do. Apparently a fair is in town and they're eager to go, so Travis takes them.

He wishes he could invite Laura to join them, but he knows better - having kept the majority of her existence a secret from his family. Chris - however - knows bits and pieces and - having never met her in person - often remarks upon her as Travis's 'imaginary' girlfriend.

Travis has always taken this in stride, because he's never felt the need to prove or validate her existence. In fact, he rather likes keeping her all to himself.

Tonight, however, Chris is particularly annoying about it.

Travis wins a toy for Bobby at the shooting range and Chris talks about how Travis should try and win something for his 'imaginary girlfriend'.

They ride the ferris wheel. Chris talks about how Travis should come back and ride it with his 'imaginary' girlfriend'.

They go to the petting zoo. Chris asks if Travis's 'imaginary' girlfriend' would like it.

This goes on and on until Travis finally snaps, "ENOUGH, Christopher!"

"Aw, c'mon, I'm just razzing you!" Chris chuckles, clearly thinking that his teasing is merely sibling fun, "I'm sure she's as real as Walter the World's Hairiest Man over there!"

"Sure, sure." Chris's tone is aggravating in it's clear patronizing droll, "Like The Elastic Girl over there?"

They're within the confines of the fair's freak show and sure enough, there's a man to one side covered from head to toe in long hair. Hair that looks like it's being held in place by cosmetic glue, bringing to light what a fraud it is.

Travis rolls his eyes, "She IS real."

He points to a girl who is clearly very bendable, her body practically a pretzel in its current shape. Travis scowls - irritated with Chris and frankly this part of the fair, which he feels was put together in poor taste.

"Just drop it, Chris!"

"Don't be such a spoilsport, T! I just want to meet her, that's all! What, is she really ugly? Is that it?"

"What?!? NO! She's beaut-!"

"Is she really fat? Are you embarrassed to be seen with her because she's huge?"

"I'm NOT-!"

"Is she a gremlin and you can't feed her after midnigh-?"

"SHE'S A MERMAID! OKAY?!" Travis bellows it at the top of his lungs and both Chris and Bobby seem shook by it.

Chris, however, quickly recovers, "Psh! Yeah, right."

Travis is breathing heavily, his face red from his outburst, when suddenly a cool voice speaks up, "A mermaid, you say?"

Travis turns to see a woman with wild brown curls and the coldest blue eyes he's ever seen. She's eyeing him like a hungry vulture eyes a meal as she purrs, "How delightful."

Travis swallows, feeling suddenly cold, "Sh-she's not a real mermaid. Real mermaids don't exist."

"Oh no, no, no," she clicks her tongue, "Of course not."

...but she doesn't sound like she means it. She sounds like she's humoring him. Travis gives her a weak smile and then gestures towards his brothers, who are looking at some other exhibit, "I'm just-?"

Travis wanders off, tries to pay attention to the 'dog boy' display in front of them, but it's hard. Because he still feels like the woman's eyes are on him, freezing him to the bone.

After a few days he forgets all about it. Until he's back with Laura by the shoreline, kissing her and telling her about the fair only to feel as if those eyes are on him again - he feels them and then he hears, "Ah, ha! So here you are!"

Travis and Laura turn to see the same woman Travis saw at the fair. He had no idea how she managed to approach them so quietly, but she looks terribly pleased as she coos, "The spell I cast on you was unspoken, my dear boy. As such, I was worried it had not taken effect. Yet here we all are."

Travis moves quickly to block Laura, knowing a threat when he sees one, but the woman - the witch - appears unimpressed, "And my, my, my! It would appear your little girlfriend is, in fact, an actual mermaid, after all! Will wonders never cease!"

"She's not-!"

"Magic recognizes magic, silly boy." The smile she gives him is practically reptilian before she focuses her full attention on Laura, "I've heard of your kind before, but you're notoriously hard to pin down. Luckily for me..."

Laura now pushes Travis to one side. She takes over the role of protector, "What do you want?"

"Oh, not much. Simply a new attraction to my little collection. I am so hoping to break out on my own. Separate myself from the fair folk and when I overheard your paramour mention you, I just knew you'd make a lovely addition..."

Laura turns to Travis, the expression on her face heart wrenching, "You told someone about me?"

"No!" He cries, "I didn't-!"

"Now, now - I won't be held responsible for a lover's quarrel, my dear. I was merely eavesdropping on this one and his brother. That's all."

"But you still told someone..." Laura casts her eyes down and Travis feels as if he's being repeatedly stabbed in the gut, "...I told you...I told you to never tell anyone about me. Not ever."

"Laura..." Travis reaches for her, but she pulls away. The witch clicks her tongue again, "Oh, such a shame! But, you need not worry about it for long, my boy. This pain soon shall pass."

She reaches within her voluminous coat and withdraws a gun, pointing it at him, "Of this I can assure you..."

"No!" Laura cries and she holds up a hand, her body blocking Travis's more than ever, "Wait, wait! Let me sing to him!"

The woman eyes her critically and Laura swallows thickly, "I-if you know anything about us at all - you know what the sirens taught us. Let me sing to him."

The woman is still holding the gun, but she hasn't fired. Laura continues to push her luck, "Let me sing...and there won't be any witnesses."

"And you'll come with me," the woman adds, "Willingly."

Laura's lower lip trembles, one tear escaping even as she manages a weak, squeaking, "Yes."

The woman breathes in loudly, then nods, "Very well. But you'd best not try anything funny."

Laura nods again and then turns to Travis. He looks at her and suddenly he can't stop himself from crying, his voice breaking as he asks, "Laura?"

"Shh, shh." She whispers and kisses him. He tastes her tears and his own. He's started hiccuping, sobs clogging his throat, because he knows something is about to happen, something terrible.

Laura draws away, but presses her forehead to his as she moans, "I love you..."

"I..." Travis's voice is tremulous, threadbare, as he answers, "I love you, too. I love you so much, Laura. Please. Please, please don't do this...please don't leave me, please..."

"Shh," she hushes him again, "It's-it's okay. It's okay. You won't-! You won't even-!"

The last comes out high, stretched with pain, and she kisses him a few more times and he clings to her. Travis holds her to himself so, so tightly. Because if he holds on and doesn't let go, he won't lose her. She won't leave him, she won't-!

...Laura begins to sing.

The song...the words...so beautiful...

Travis is lost in them. In the sound. In the dreamy quality and he's not crying anymore. In fact, he doesn't feel much of anything any more. Just calm. Just ease. Just the sound of a lovely voice and blue eyes and then just... gone.

+

"...ravis? Travis!

Travis groans and opens his eyes. Chris is leaning over him and smirking, "What the heck are you doing all the way out here?"

"What am I-?" Travis sits up slowly. He's down by the shoreline of Lake Septimus. He blinks a few times and then yawns, "I don't know. I musta fallen asleep."

"Asleep, huh?"

"Yeah." Travis stretches and boy does he feel relaxed. He doesn't remember falling asleep, but it was no doubt a good nap. He hasn't felt this well rested in...well, ever.

Chris sighs, "Well, Ma's really mad. You've been gone for hours. I just figured you were out with your imaginary girlfriend."

Travis wrinkles his nose, "My what?"

"You know, that girl you made up? Laura?"

"Laura?" Travis repeats, "I don't know any Laura..."

Chris snorts, "I know. I just said you made her up!"

"Shut up!" Travis says with a laugh as he gets to his feet and stretches again. Imaginary girlfriend... whatever. He follows Chris back to their house and back to his solitary life, the only one he's ever known.

Bones and All Q's/thoughts/spoilers (literally writing these as I watch for the first time):

1. Was that her dad locking her in her bedroom at the beginning?

2. Random aside- does Taylor Russell have some vitiligo on her face? I never noticed it before.

3. Ooft, that first shot of Sully standing on the street corner. 😬 The sniffing... ew.

4. The sound of him preparing that chicken. Double ew.

5. "We can hurt one another just as bad" - he's warning her.

6. I always wonder if human teeth are actually strong enough to bite through flesh just like *chomp* - I know we do it with steak and whatnot. I just kinda assumed humans would be tougher. Especially without cooking. Idk.

7. Being a cannibal would be a logistical nightmare. Like... a human being is BIG. How much could you actually eat in one go? Like, a thigh? What do you do with the rest?

8. "I profoundly doubt that" - yes Lee, see right through the creepy old man.

9. The Americana guitar throughout is very pretty. This soundtrack is cool.

10. I love how matter-of-fact Lee is. He seems very genuine.

11. The way he takes the shirt off after Kayla calls him a fa**ot hurts. He obvs took it to heart.

12. The first time we see them touch is in the slaughter house barn. Feel like that's significant.

13. Michael Stulbarg is amazing.

14. "There's before Bones and All, and then there's after" - I feel like this is true.

15. The drums of the soundtrack in IA - wow. Love it.

16. The trill of the music as the ferris wheel comes over the top and they're kissing - ❤

17. The look as Lee approaches the milk toss stand - Predator/Prey. Oooft.

18. Lee cruising that carnival worker should not be hot. But it is.

19. The pulling at the skin is a bit ew, but oh well.

20. "In my black cocoon I'm where no one can find me" - whilst Lee sits bathed in blood and moonlight. Double ooooft.

21. It's a good thing DNA matching hadn't been perfected yet.

22. "How dare you make this harder" - true lee. Like what does she want him to say??

23. I keep expecting to see Sully in the back of shots and it's creeping me out.

24. I get Maren's turmoil, but she doesn't need to take it out on Lee, who's also just trying to survive.

25. I have a kink for Timmy's arms, I've decided. I think Dune 2 where he's buffer might kill me.

26. She just fucking leaves him?! What??? He's the best thing thats happened to you!

27. Sully needs to fuck all the way off.

28. The scene where Maren is telling Sully "its gotta go both ways" - I feel her energy there. Its a young girl trying to placate a man who could harm her. That resonates. The stakes are different, but every woman can recognise the moment where they say "it's not you, it's me" to try and prevent harm. Felt that in my blood.

29. A man thinks they're entitled to something because they've misread a situation. Offft, that really hits close to home.

30. The scrape of the guitar as she destroys the tape.

31. I just wanna give Lee a hug.

32. Kayla seems really sweet, and I'm sad that I already know what happens to her.

33. What happens in the months Maren is away from Lee? What's she been doing?

34. The NE sequence is beautiful.

35. Idk how to describe it, but Timothée has a way of being *in* a scene that makes you feel like he's part of the landscape of it. There and natural. There is no acting, because he is in the fabric of the film.

36. I'll say it again but the guitar motif is just so beautiful.

37. The way the guitar just stops in that final scene when she opens the door. Fuck Sully, fuck him forever.

38. Sully is like Gollum. Except fucking weirder and grosser.

39. Okay, the bathtub scene is kinda grim.

40. How can something so grim make me cry?

41. Okay, new canon. Lee survives and the ending was just one of the psycho dreams, brought on by PTSD from Sully's attack.

42. The final shot is them afterwards. Surviving.

ain't your mama ch 4

small taps and knocks came from a fourteen year old sage's window as she got up in her pj's and opened it , letting in the one person she promised not to love.

"What are you doing? it's late." Sage questioned her fifteen year old boyfriend esai alvarez , after the whole marcus coleman incident , they decided to give it a shot as they snuck visits with eachother.

the 11 year old Esai than proclaimed he was hers , and that he would beat any man who looked in the direction of his queen , four years laters and she was still stuck with him.

"It's only eight ,apresúrate get dressed ,or would you rather I carry you out of the window in your Pj's , are those bones ?" Esai said stepping forward looking at her bone pj's.

"Yes , where are we even going? , It-" Sage was cut off with a kiss from the boy , who pulled back with a smirk.

"There's a small fair going on , and it's the perfect place for our first real date." Esai said as if it was the most obvious thing in the world.

"Why not in the morning?" Sage said changing into a pair of shorts and a tshirt , not caring if Esai saw , the two already doing the deed on Esai's 15th birthday in january.

"You've seen me naked yet you still cover your eyes when i change infront of you." Sage said rolling her eyes as she turned to see Esai covering his eye's before peeking through his finger tips.

"Still , now hurry let's go!" Esai said with red cheeks, muttering a curse in spanish.

"If You pick me up , i'll scream kidnap and wake the whole house." Sage muttered smacking Esai's hands , who was about to pick her up to carry her out the window she was now climbing out of.

"Let me give you affection por favor!" Esai exclaimed in a whisper , climbing out after her , Sage smirking at the pouting boy.

........

"The lights are bright ." Sage said hiding her face in Esai's arm.

loud noises are somthing Sage managed to handle over the years , however bright and flickering lights , not so much.

Suddenly she felt Esai plop sunglasses on face when she lifted her head to look around and try not to get overwhelmed by the lights.

"Really?" Sage said raising a brow.

"Ok a place with bright lights when my girl is sensitive to them , probably not the- " esai was cuttoff by Sage's laugh as she grabbed his hand , pointing to the ferris wheel.

"I love it , sensitive eyes and all ." Sage said as she dragged him to the ferris wheel , getting into one of the carts.

Esai was scared of four things , his mother , angry Sage , and most of all Heights and rollercoasters.

As they went in the air Esai closed his eyes gulping , Sage raised a brow.

"You idiot , Rollercoasters i know your scared of cause last time you were screaming curses in spanish , but why would you get on the ferris wheel if your scared heights!" Sage said shaking her head.

"Cause your eyes lit up and you had a smile on your face ,that's all i care about mi amor , oh god we're really high up." Esai said as his smirk dropped , his voice turning into squeak.

Suddenly Sage yanked his face to her , her lips meeting his , one thing about Sage's affection , it might seem like she never shows any , however when it does shows , you'll know it very well.

As the kiss broke the ride was over ,Esai was a blushing mess.

.......

"Im getting patched in four days , When I do , will you be my old lady , mi reina?" Esai said tracing her bare shoulder blade , Alvarez was out on a run , his mother had went to visit a friend , and wouldn't be back till later ,the empty house was the vacation house they used when in charming , two kids in love , naughty things were bound to happen.

"Yes , and I don't give a damn what the clubs are gonna say." Sage said as Esai got on top of her , trailing kisses on her face.

"Promise me somthing?" Sage whispered.

"Yeah?" Esai asked as she placed both hands on his face.

"When you go on the road , don't cheat on me , or i'll kill you , an obedient housewife is not somthing you'll come home too , one wrong word , you get a either a hand or a fist to your face , a needle jammed in you , croweaters they talk ." Sage stated , normal fourteen year old girls probaby do their make up , dress up , and party , not her , gemma tried to groom her into the perfect old lady once.

To hell if she was gonna live like that , She wanted to leave the life behind , travel , yeah right.

"Fuck that , your the only one for me , It's you and me , your my one and only." Esai said scrunching his nose , before kissing her , which ended up in a make out session.

.......

Four days later Esai was now a full patched mayan , but on february 6, 2005 , Maeve Trager Passed away due to heart complications , that even she was unaware of , As Maeve signed some words to her daughters,brother,happy, the club,Rebecca and Enzo , her last breath was taken and soon she fell into a forever sleep.

An eleven year old Jess and a Six year old Enzo sobbed as Rebecca comfort them , as she too cried for her friend , though older , Maeve was one of the happiest and brightest souls.

Sage however stayed in the room with her mother , what is death like?, she wondered , her mother didn't realize it untill it was too late , she didn't look like she was in pain.

She tried not too hold it in , but as soon as she felt a hand on her shoulder she turned and cried into the chest of her godfather , happy lowman.

"It's not fair , she wasn't supposed to leave us yet !" Sage exclaimed sobbing as Happy held onto his own tears to comfort the girl.

......

fairy tale's written by the brothers grimm were Maeve's favorite books , the trager family ,consisting of Sage , Jess , Tig , and their cousins,tigs daughters , dawn and fawn trager , stood and threw dirt on the coffin , before the other's did the same,ending the service with Sage and Jess signing Maeve's favorite quote from each tale.

Sage then walked over towards someone the guys hadn't expected to be there.

Esai alvarez in his oakland kutte , the sons were confused on why the young mayan , who would for some reason show up around or with Sage at random , it wasn't untill she pulled him into a hug and cried , and when he kissed her head and stroked her hair , was when they realized Samcro's mini happy , fell in love with the mayan prince.

⃗ *ೃ༄ taste of your smile !

p. robin buckley x fem!reader

request. a festival date with her + having her first kiss with you on top of a Ferris Wheel. her winning you a big insert your fav animal plushie and being so proud of herself,stealing kisses in private where no one can see you, getting cotton candy and her getting it everywhere (even in her hair ngl) and having to helo her wash it off as soon as possible cause she hates being sticky (i mean who does) and finally going on a ferris wheel with her and kissing her at the top while the sun is setting <33

content warnings. very short and subtle mention of homophobia, other than that, just fluff and unproofread content ( again ) !

a festival date with robin would be so wonderful :( it’s in the middle of october when the festival starts, when people start wearing jackets that are a little bit thicker, when people bring their families, their dates, and friends out to enjoy the american festivities and rides and food all in one night. and there’s no other person robin would be spending her day at the fair with. robin pouts when you link your arms together as the two of you walk around, because she would much rather prefer to hold your hand instead, wishing that the eyes that would judge the two of you if you happened to do so ceased to exist. but, it wasn’t really a problem all that much, because your bodies would still be close together, sides pressed against each other as you walked around, looking for things you both wanted to do.

it’s when you tell her that each time she won a game, you’d reward her with a kiss on the cheek, she would get so competitive, overly confident that she’d win a couple despite how rigged these games were. she would tell you that she figured it out; how to win. but much to her disappointment, she lost the first several games. she would get so pouty whenever she would turn around and see you smiling at her. poor baby wants those kisses so bad. and you can’t help but give in, pulling her behind the tents, where the lights don’t hit, away from everybody, hiding out in the darkness, only for you to press a few innocent kisses against her cheek before heading back out into the crowd. her heart flutters every time you got close to her face, making her all nervous and what not. it brings her mood back up drastically, almost giving her an ego boost, making her want to try more games again.

and it’s the ring toss game she wins, scoring one of the most, dare you say, luckiest—robin would say skillful—shots you’ve ever seen. the oversized plush toy would be sitting in your free arm while the other links itself with robin’s and she won’t stop giving you that smug look, proud of herself for earning you that toy. and god, the look you had on your face when she handed you the plushie had her soaring. she stared at you, like nobody else was there, mouth parted slightly as her eyes scan over your features, how you can’t help but close your eyes for a moment because you were smiling too much. it was your smile that made her want to try and win more for you, to make you smile like that again and again as much as she could.

when the time for snacks and food comes around, robin doesn’t hesitate to buy cotton candy first; it was blue and pink, bigger than the size of her head and she spent like five bucks on it. she would share it with you, pulling it apart to hand it to you only for you bite it directly out of her hand, and the laugh you let out was pure bliss in her ears, distracting her from the fact that her hair had suddenly stuck to the side of her cotton candy. she would panic, wanting it out of her hair immediately. and it’s when you rush to open the bottle of water to dampen the parts of her hair that was sticky, when she felt your hands in her hair, when your skin grazing her cheeks where you had kissed her earlier that she realizes that she was holding a breath in, making her feel like she was dreaming.

before you know it, the sun starts setting, right at the moment when you both take your seats on the cramped ferris wheel. as the ride gradually took you both up higher, you wouldinch your hand closer and closer to hers.

“hawkins is prettier than i remember,” you say, looking down at the tiny people beneath your feet all the endless trees trailing so far away, too high up to even recognize them.

“yeah… it’s pretty…” you hear robin agree, but for some reason, your gut was just telling you that she wasn’t looking at what you were looking at.

it was the way she slurred her words, talking slower than she usually did, and so you glance over at her for a quick second to prove yourself right; robin turned away from you at the last second, clearing her throat nervously. you can’t help but smile. you finally put your hand gently on top of hers. you bite your lip to stop yourself from smiling even wider when her fingertips play with yours, running her hand along the skin of your fingers nervously as she stares off into the distance where the sky was turning pink, and the sun fell slowly past the horizon. all she had on her mind the whole day was kissing you. not on the cheek. your lips. your lips have been on her mind endlessly, driving her crazy every time she thought about them, about how soft they would feel pressing against hers, wondering how you would taste. she thinks it would be divine.

“robin. what are you thinking so hard about, babe?” and it’s when you call her name, when you called her babe, when she turns to look at you, when you smile, that damn smile, when she finally gets the courage to tell you, to ask.

“a lot of things… you mostly, to be specific. i’m just.. is it okay if…” her voice trails off for only moment when she feels your fingers brush over her palm and she loses her train of thought for a second, making her swallow the lump in her throat as she stares into your eyes, “i-is it okay if i… kiss you?”

your lips curve, giggling slightly before leaning your head in towards her, pressing your lips against hers.

and her theory was right. the taste of your smile was the best thing she had ever experienced.

Might I request a HC for ikesen Shingen? Perhaps something to do with his visit to the modern day? Something that while not in the route, but you believe he and MC did in modern day?

A/N: Yes!! I really do love that we got to see one of our boys visit the future 😋😋 I haven’t read Shingen’s route in a little while so I don’t remember much of what they did when they traveled back to the present so I’m very sorry if there are some things that have already been mentioned in his route, like buying him clothes and such. Alsoooooo happy belated birthday, I hope it was a nice day for you!!!!! Enjoy <3

[HC] Shingen and MC in modern-day Japan

Content Warnings: Mentions of sex, food

Yes, the end goal was always to return to the Sengoku period with one healthy Shingen Takeda, but goddamnit, MC was relishing the time spent in the modern-day

Oh, how she has missed plumbing and a nice shower

And oh, how exciting it was to show Shingen her appreciation for all these technological advancements

Washing up after traveling 500 years was certainly an experience

“Eventually, we’ll have to go out and buy you some modern clothes but I’d figured you’d like some semblance of how things were—given all the new things you’ve seen today. So I’ll wash your kimono and hopefully, it’ll be dry by tomorrow morning.”

By then, MC had turned the shower on—steam and all—and turned around to see Shingen already disrobing

Oh, the shit-eating grin on this man’s face

“And if it isn’t dry by tomorrow morning? How will I keep warm?”

Words did not register for MC as Shingen was then half-naked

Cue shower sex

And honestly? Not his favorite.

Much rather prefer making love to MC in a futon, or for the time being, a bed

Now, MC considered it overwhelming to go back in time and miss certain modern elements

She couldn’t even imagine what it’d be like the other way around where there were perhaps too many modern elements that a person like Shingen wouldn’t be able to take in all at once

And so, with the help of Sasuke dropping off groceries and his largest clothes for Shingen, the pair spent the first several days in the apartment

MC continued to introduce Shingen to modern-day concepts that were limited to her apartment

Oh, the adoration for his love was clear as day when MC held an impromptu fashion show of her modern-day clothes (lingerie included)

And let’s not forget the photo albums and giving a brief and very limited history of developing photos and more modern printing methods

How he wished he could have every photo of his goddess ingrained in his mind—to know and understand completely what MC’s life was like

And when the two finally ventured out to the hospital and other sites (including many restaurants and cafes), cooking home dinners was always more fun and a rewarding experience

Shingen came to have a very deep fondness for refrigerators

If only he could transport one back to Kai and have it keep cool

“Let me cook for you tonight.”

“Really? Are you sure?”

Let me tell you, it took quite some time for MC to fully trust Shingen alone in the kitchen

As for activities outside the apartment:

Going to see a movie was an absolute must

The saltiest, most buttery popcorn in existence with a large soda between the pair in an IMAX theater

3D movies? Not MC’s favorite but a necessary experience for Shingen

You best believe he tried his best to understand/enjoy franchises such as Indiana Jones, Star Wars, Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter, the MCU (this did not bode well for him)

MC taking Shingen on aimless train rides

Long, long walks with no destination

Stumbling upon a shopping center along a waterfront with a Ferris wheel!!

Nothing could be more cliche than kissing your date at the top

And surely, MC would indulge in all the cliches with Shingen

Like an excited child, MC tugged on Shingen’s hand and ran to the Ferris wheel, explaining the whole way how she wished there was an entire amusement park for them to go to

“This ride is pretty much made for kids but couples go on it all the time. And when you get to the top, oh, it’s such a beautiful view.”

Just as he was every other time MC taught him something new, Shingen couldn’t help but feel caged by his love’s happiness and enthusiasm—in a good way

This time period really does suit her.

But the overwhelming love he felt for her was, of course, always followed by doubt

Is she really okay with leaving this time—her home—forever for me?

MC was always quick to reassure him without even knowing there was a problem in the first place

She was very honest about soon missing the modern-day but was even more eager to show Shingen everything she could offer

Never did MC ever seem regretful or deeply sad to have gone back home just for Shingen and then go back 500 years just for Shingen

And when the two finally stopped at the top, he took in his surroundings

MC was right, it sure was a beautiful sight

To look at all the lights and think of all the people going about their lives

Before they would lose the beloved spot at the top, MC gently rested her palm on his cheek, turned Shingen toward her, and placed a soft kiss on his lips

Just then, as they were pulling away and Shingen was about to spout something incredibly romantic and cheesy, another idea took hold

“Oh! I should teach you how to drive! You know, I might not be good at horseback riding but I’m a great driver. Oh, we should definitely go to an empty parking lot tomorrow and I’m sure Sasuke would let us borrow his car. I used to lease a car but that ended right before I moved and got that job as a designer…”

And of course, Shingen was nothing but smiles at this point as he listened to MC ramble about anything and everything

Yuna x you theme park date, fluff prompt/idea

i literally love you lily this is so soft <3 let's try a fall carnival bc its fall and i'm pretty sure there are mini carnivals out there where people make cute memories from uwu enjoy~

if you had one goal it would be to win your girlfriend a stuffed animal at the carnival the one she always talked about and pointed at everytime you would passby. after saving some money you eagerly countdown the days until it opened and you both had a free day. "don't we look like the cutest girlfriends ever~ i can't wait to show you off this time button." (shit i'm soft for this nickname now T_T) rolling your eyes you let yuna drag you inside the fall themed event. "what should we do first? get some pumpkin pie, play in the bumper cars, go on the ferris wheel-" putting a finger to her lips you shake your head and smile.

"nope! i'm going to do the thing i've always watned to do for you~" cupping her face you place a light peck on her lips before drawing her attention to the infamous game yuna's eyes widen as she looks at you.

"button…you're-you're going to get it finally? my dream teddy? are you serious? is that why you've been practicing your pitching skills with ryujin unnie all this time?" nodding yuna pecks your lips back and smiles. "you know…even if you don't get it its fine i'll always love you…just a tad a less." in a teasing voice she escapes your grip and rushes over to the stall. following after her you pay the worker for some balls and warm up your hands. taking a look at your excited girlfriend you hope and wish that all those weeks of practice would be worth it to see her beaming with pride. closing your eyes you take a deep breath, aim for the already rigged tin cans and throw the ball with all your might…

"…kill me…please yuna just do it, i'm tired of living."

"button it's just a teddy bear. it's not worth all of your savings, i could buy the bear off amazon or something-"

"nooooo i wanted to be the one to win and hand it to you, i'm your girlfriend and i had one job-" cupping your face in her hands she makes you look at her straight in the eye with a serious look.

"button, listen to the words that ar going to come out of my mouth right now- i didn't fall in love with your pitching skills i fell for the annoyingly stubborn girl with the pretty eyes that can match my stubborness and keep me in check." blinking you take a look into her geunine eyes and feel a smile slowly grow on your face. "so stop being so negative and lets go eat some candy apples and crash your stress away with some bumper cars ok?" giving her a small nod yuna's serious face turns upside down, taking your hand she starts dragging you toward the food booths and together

enjoying your time together you feed each other candy apples and enjoy a very sweet kiss while waiting in line for the bumper cars. yuna shows you no mercy as you crash multiple times against each other with you almost losing your phone as she literally rear ends you while you try to record her having a good time to upload to SNS. taking a bathroom break yuna runs off leaving you alone for a few minutes, looking around the fairly crowded carnival you spot the same booth from before and feeling the last of your funds in you pocket. debating you decide to give it one last try and either the worker was showing you pity from spending an hour there earlier or you got some ryujin like strength but you manage to knock out all the tins and win the prize your girlfriend wanted. beaming with joy you quickly rush back to where you had left her and hide the toy behind your back the best you could.

"hey button i-" pausing her steps she sees some fur stick out from behind you. "um…what is-OMG BUTTON YOU DIDN'T!!!" covering her mouth yuna squeals as you reveal the stuffed teddy and hold it out for her.

"i did!! yuna my love, my angel, my spoiled princess i got you the teddy! who's the best-umph!" unable to finish your sentence yuna engufls both you and the toy in a big hug and messy lip lock laughing the whole time. pulling away you hold her waist as she hugs the bear.

"button oh my gosh you're amazing!! you're the best girlfriend ever~ this day just got 3000% times more better!! i love you so much right now!" kissing your lips once more her squeals get louder drawing the attention of the crowd around you. too excited to care you spin her around smiling.

"i love you even more yuna, but now….shall we find our new child a sibling~?”

“BUTTON!!!”

Firsts w/ Kaoru

Pairing: Kaoru Hitachiin x gn!reader Genre: fluff Warnings: none

first meeting:

y’all met through, you guessed it, The Host Club

it wasn’t your idea to go

but Haruhi, poor, sweet, innocent Haruhi, was about to lose her marbles

she practically got onto her knees to beg you to keep her company

and what kind of friend would you be if you declined?

(you mainly just went because she bribed you with free tea and desserts)

when you showed up to Music Room #3, it was all that you were expecting and not at all what you were expecting at the same time

you eventually spotted Haruhi through all the people and eventually made your way over to her

the look on her face was almost comical

she bid her guests she was entertaining farewell and they left with watery eyes

you covered your mouth to hide your giggles as you took a seat on the soft couch across from her

“Thank god you showed up,” she groaned as she slumped back into her seat

you let your giggles out freely, studying her tired form

“Awe, is Haruhi tired of flirting?” you teased

she only grunted in response, closing her eyes and letting out a content sigh

you hummed in return, picking up a cookie that was on the table and started to munch on it

you two had a few minutes of silent peace before it was rudely interrupted

“Oh, Haruhi!” you hear two voices shout from behind you in unison

you swear you saw an irk mark appear on her forehead

you raise your brow and go to turn around to see who was causing her so much trouble just by saying two words when two people were suddenly leaning over the back of the couch you were sitting on

you looked to your left and saw a boy your and Haruhi’s age

you turned to the right and had to do a double-take when you saw the same face

‘these must be the infamous twins,’ you thought as you studied them

“What?” Haruhi groaned with dead eyes

you could see the smirks come onto the two boys’ faces

“What are you doing slacking off-” the one on the right started off

“-when you have a guest?” the left one finished you raised a brow at them as you pursed your lips

“She could ask you two the same thing? Why aren’t you tending to your guests?” you defended

the twins’ eyes widened as they turned to look at you, both silently studying you for a moment

“We got bored-”

“-so we came to see what Haruhi was doing.”

your brows furrowed as you look to the one on your left

“You just left your guests?”

Haruhi was the one to respond

“Kaoru probably ran out of fake tears,” she said with a smirk

the twins’ attention went back to her, the one on the right’s eyes widening

“Fake tears? My tears are real!” he defended

you took a mental note that the one on your right was Kaoru. Haruhi may have told you about them before but you were terrible with names

Haruhi only grunted in response before closing her eyes again

you saw their mouths open, ready to bother her some more

so, being the good friend you are, you quickly said something before they could

“Just leave her alone, okay? How about you entertain me?” you offered

from what Haruhi has told you, the twins liked to mess around with people. Whether it is playing pranks and tricks or just annoying them

so, you figured they’d happily take you up on the offer to ‘entertain’ you

as soon as you finished your sentence, a smirk was curling up on their lips

“Entertain you?”

“Why, we’d be honored!”

they ended up trying to actually do so at first, using their little brotherly love act

you quickly shut that down

once they realized you knew all their secrets, including Haruhi being a girl, there was a sudden shift in the way they acted towards you

they were more open suddenly

hanging out:

after meeting, he instantly took a liking to you

he and his brother wanted to become friends with you, mainly to annoy Haruhi 

they hung out with you as much as you allowed them to, which was often so you could give Haruhi a break

it took a couple weeks for Kaoru to work up the nerve to ask you to hangout with him without his brother there as well

you were surprised when he asked you, to say the least 

“Hey, would you wanna go to this museum with me? I somehow won free tickets in class and Hikaru doesn’t want to go. I, uh, know it sounds boring but—”

“I’d love to go with you, Kaoru,” you reassure with a big, warm smile

it was the first time he felt his heart do something weird in his chest 

that weekend, you two went to the museum and honestly had a really good time

you two pretty much just wandered around and talked the entire time, which was several hours 

he found it surprising and like a fresh breath of air at how easy it was to talk to you

he liked studying you when you would stare at something before you, your figure glowing under the big lights 

he knew by the time you two left that he had feelings for you

first hug:

you two hugged for the first when he took you home from the museum, actually 

his palms were sweating just from thinking of doing it 

he tried to tell himself that it wasn’t a big deal but he was just so nervous 

he opened the car door for you when you reached your house and even walked you to the door 

“Thanks for today, Kaoru,” you say softly, giving him that radiant smile that he loves so much 

“It was nothing. I’m just glad you agreed to go,” he admits with a small chuckle

you giggle in return and then you both go into silence 

“Well, I’ll see you at school on Monday,” you say to break the silence

without another word, he quickly pulls you into the hug then

he hears and feels you gasp, your arms staying by your side for a moment before slowly wrapping back around him 

“Yeah, see you on Monday,” he whispers, still holding onto you

you two hug each other a little longer than necessary but neither of you cared 

when you finally did let go of each other, both of your faces were warm

“Goodnight, Kaoru,” you whisper a little breathlessly 

“Goodnight, (Y/n),” he whispers back, finally stepping back to let you go inside

he walks back to his car and watches you unlock your door to make sure you get inside okay 

he then finally leaves with a racing heart and a red face

first time holding hands:

after going to the museum together, you two slowly started to get closer

you texted more often, always called, hung out without Hikaru more, and so on 

it didn’t take long for you to fall for him but you were unsure if he liked you back 

well, that is until October came around

the boys decided they wanted to do a haunted house type thing for their monthly event

after Kyoya talked it over with the principal, the club got permission to do it and to have it held inside the entire school

Kyoya went all out too. He hired professional actors and businesses to scare in the school

the club held it during Halloween weekend, that way they could clean up all the props before Monday

the club made a killer with the amount of people that wanted to participate and walk through the ‘haunted’ school

on Sunday, after the ‘maze’ closed, the host club decided that they should be able to walk through it as well

that’s how you ended up partnered up with Kaoru to walk through together

you two went last out of all of the groups, both of your hearts racing as you two walked into your dark school 

after the first jump scare, you two clung together before relaxing until the next scare

after a few scares, you two just ended up holding hands the whole way through 

you honestly didn’t even really notice since you were too focused on what’s around the corner, what’s in that room, or what that sound was

but Kaoru’s entire focused was on your hand in his, the way your skin looked, the way it felt

when you came out the back main exit of the school though, you instantly noticed

you both shyly smiled as you let go, trying to ignore everyone’s teasing as you all started cleaning up 

first date:

it wasn’t until mid-November that Kaoru asked you out on a date

you both were blushing like crazy as he stuttered out his date proposal and it was the most enduring thing you’ve ever seen 

he asked you out, to which you instantly said yes to, but when you asked where you two would be going, he refused to tell you 

he ended up taking you to a festival that was in town after you said that you didn’t want him wasting a lot of money on you 

plus, he’s really competitive, so it’s fun to play games with him 

you two tease each other back and forth the whole night, both of you winning a lot of games

he even won you a stuffed animal to which you playfully named it Hikaru

he ended up getting too much cotton candy and begged you to help him finish it 

you two spent the entire day there and when the sun started to set, he dragged you onto the ferris wheel 

it was very cliché but he kisses you at the top and you loved every second of it 

when he drove you home, neither of you were ready for the night to end 

so, you just ended up sitting in the car for hours just talking up a storm

when your first yawn is released, he does his best to ignore it but after the second time, he sighs and gives you a soft smile 

“You should head inside. I’ll text you when I get home, okay?” he says quietly, secretly wishing he didn’t say anything when you start to pout 

you rub at your eye though as you yawn again, slowly nodding your head

“Okay. Goodnight, Kaoru,” you whisper sweetly before hugging him

just before you get out of the car, you quickly peck his cheek before practically flying out of the vehicle

he chuckles at how flustered you are as you walk to the door of your home

he makes sure you get inside okay before driving back home

he sticks to his word and texts you when he arrives at home to which you both stayed up late texting each other because you didn’t want the mystical night to come to an end

first time giving a gift:

(we ain’t counting the stuffed animal (Hikaru) he gave you on your first date)

you two had been together for 3 months when Kaoru decided to get you something to celebrate

he asked all your friends along with all the people in the Host Club what they think you’d like 

he got many ideas ranging from clothes to food

he wasn’t quite sure what he wanted to get you but he’d figure it should be something nice but ‘simple’ 

on the day of your 3 months together, he picks you up from your house and takes you on a date

you tried telling him that you two didn’t have to celebrate the 3 month mark, but he wasn’t having it 

“You’re special to me and being together this long means a lot to me,” he said softly to you before kissing the back of your hand

he ends up taking you to a hill that looks over most of the town, a smile coming to your face when you see the view 

“It’s beautiful,” you reply when he asks what you think

“Not as beautiful as you,” he teases, shooting you a wink before hauling the picnic basket over to the blanket he set down for you both 

after setting everything up and getting comfy, you two dig into the food that he made

once you two have had your fill, you curl up together and watch the sunset

just before the sun completely sinks below the horizon, he pulls away from you a bit to reach into the basket

“Here,” is all he says as he offers you a rectangular box covered in velvet

you raise your brow up at him but gently take it from him and open it up 

you jaw drops open a bit when you see what rests inside, your heart skipping a beat as your tummy fills with butterflies

“Oh, Kaoru...” you whisper breathlessly, staring down at the intricate necklace

“Do you like it?” he whispers, worriedly staring at your shocked face 

“I, um, got it to represent our first date at the festival...” he continues when you don’t reply. “Sorry, I know it’s ugl—”

“No! No, I love it, Kaoru,” you quickly interrupt when he starts to backpedal. “Sorry, I just was thinking that it looks kind of expensive...”

“Well, ha, you see—”

“Kaoru, how much did you spend on this?”

he stays quiet for a moment, knowing how you’d react when he tells you 

he finally pipes up when you give him the look™️

“It was, um, ¥43,687...”

“Kaoru Hitachiin!” you screech, fully turning to face him with a horrified expression

“What? It’s not that bad!” he shouts, his cheeks starting to warm for some reason 

“Not that bad? Not that bad? You’re right. ¥43,687 is way worse than bad!” 

he groans and rolls his eyes, taking the box from you and taking the necklace out 

“Turn around.”

“No way! What if I break it? What if I lose it? What if—”

“What if zombies raised from the ground right now and killed me? Bam! Dead! Wouldn’t you want something to remember me by?” he teases with a smirk

it’s your turn to huff and roll your eyes now 

“That would never happen.”

“Well, yours would never happen either,” he argues

“Yes it could!”

“We can go back and forth all day, sweetheart. We can never know the future and it’s best to just live in the present.”

When you don’t reply, he smiles at you and holds up the necklace 

“You like it, right?”

“Well yes, but—“

“And you like me, right?”

“Kaoru—”

“Do you?”

“Yes! But, Kaoru—”

“Then put it on!” 

you two have a stare off before you give in, letting out a hefty sigh and turning to put your back to him

he slips the necklace onto you and your hand instantly goes to the ferris wheel pendant resting between your collar bones

“There. Ya see? That wasn’t so bad and you look even more beautiful than usual.”

your cheeks warm with the compliment as you spin around to face him again

“Shut up and kiss me,” you snap with a pout

he chuckles and leans forward to do just that 

first “I love you”:

you both actually wanted to say this on your picnic date but both ended up chickening out since you both thought it was too soon

ever since then, you both have tried and failed to say it 

when is the right time to say it? How long do you have to be dating for it to be okay? What if the other person wasn’t ready to say it back yet?

yeah, a lot of unnecessary worries and insecurities

it isn’t until it’s almost your sixth month anniversary that Kaoru finally works up the nerve to say it 

he was planning a little get away vacation for you two during the summer

when you came over to his house one day to hangout, he first plays it cool

you two do the normal stuff whenever you two hangout, watch your show, makeout a little, make food, the works

after you two are done eating and go to continue watching your show, he stops you

“Hey, there’s something I want to show you.” 

you raise your brow at this, wondering what he could want to show you

maybe a new show he wants to watch? 

“Yeah?” you ask, watching him pull something out from between the couch cushions 

he hands over an envelope to you with a smirk, making your brows furrow 

a letter?

“Go on. Open it,” he says with a chuckle 

you let out a short hum in reply and begin to open it up

you pull out two tickets to something, turning them around to look at the front 

“Are these first class tickets to Italy?” you ask, your voice trembling a bit 

“Yeah! I figured it was about time we went somewhere together!”

you shake your head and offer the tickets back to him, feeling as if you’re going to be sick 

“Kaoru, no. This is too much. I don’t need to go somewhere far or fancy or expensive to have fun with you,” you force out with wide eyes

he frowns at your words, refusing to take the tickets out of your shaky hands

“What? (Y/n), this is an amazing opportunity! Besides, these tickets were for me and Hikaru to go with our mom to one of her fashion shows in Italy. Hikaru is grounded now though for that stunt he pulled in class and she asked if I’d like to take you instead,” he explains with a soft smile, bringing his hand to your free one to give it a squeeze

you relax a bit at this news, now knowing he didn’t waste thousands of yen on you 

“Your mom offered?” He nods his head. “You’re sure she doesn’t mind me coming?” 

“Of course not, baby. You haven’t been around her much since she works so often, but she really does like you. She wouldn’t have asked you to come if she didn’t want you there. Plus, she has to punish Hikaru somehow.” 

you chuckle at that last part with a nod of your head

“Okay, fine. I’ll ask my parents about it and see if they’ll be okay with me going,” you agree

he lets out an excited squeal and surges towards you for a hug

“Yes! You’re the best! I love you!” 

at the three words, you both freeze and stare at each other, both of your faces heating up to a dangerous degree

“Sorry, I, um, I d—”

“I love you too, Kaoru,” you rush out before he can take it back

his grin comes right back to his face before he kisses you passionately 

first trip together:

turns out your parents were okay with you going since Kaoru’s mom will be there 

when you three were on the plane, you and Kaoru leaned against each other the entire time

to keep you busy, you two watched your show and movies, played card games, played games with each other on your phones, and so on

when you all finally reach your destination, you’re exhausted but you instantly perk up when you reach your ride to your hotel

you climb into the limo and both you and your boyfriend ‘ooh’ and ‘aah’ at the beautiful scenery 

when you get to the hotel, his mother announces that Hikaru will share a bed with her while you get the other one. You don’t really mind since she’s paying for all this and you’re in Italy for crying out loud, but Kaoru whines and pouts for at least fifteen minutes

once you’re all in your jammies, you all practically pass out as soon as your heads hit the pillows 

you three were there for two weeks and you and Kaoru had so many cute dates

you went hiking, rode on gondolas, went on tours, took cooking classes, saw a musical, visited ancient buildings, went to the beach and did lots of swimming (where Kaoru got burned), and lots more!

his mom even let you participate in her fashion show

she dressed you up in expensive clothing and pushed you to walk on the runway

you were nervous at first but eventually got into it the more claps and cheers (from Kaoru) you got 

it was honestly some of the best days of your entire life

when it was the last day of being in Italy, Kaoru took you on your last date in the beautiful country

you both shared lots of ‘I love you’s followed by several kisses

a lil bit jealous | vinnie hacker

Request: hi ! can i request an imagine where him and the girl is a very close friends and then he got jealous when she is a lil bit too close to a guy who's also her friend and he just end up confessing out of jealousy.

Warnings: some cursing???

A/N: hope you like this, honey! send some more requests

“What is up with you, kid?” It was their inside joke. (Y/N) was 6 months older than him, but you would’ve thought it was 60 years by how often she was shoving it in his face. He could dish it out right back with the old jokes, and only the two of them found it funny.

Vinnie and (Y/N) had been friends since middle school, bonding over their mutual love for anime, and it was like nothing had changed since then. Yeah, they looked a lot different now, but they were just as close. “Nothing really. Are you sure about this Jacob guy?”

(Y/N) raised her brows, “What do you mean am I sure about him?”

“Like, are you sure you like him?”

(Y/N) shook her head, “I don’t like him in that way if that’s what you’re asking. I just think he’s a lot of fun. You don’t?”

No, of course not. For the past two weeks, it was like he couldn’t escape the kid. Everywhere he looked, there he was, hanging around (Y/N) like a lost puppy. Jacob had a hard time making friends, and he was cool with her mom’s friend, so she’d invited him out once, and now it was like they were inseparable.

It didn’t help that he couldn’t keep his flirty little comments to himself. (Y/N) wrote it off as Jacob trying to be nice, but Vinnie knew better, and each time he heard him hit on her, it kind of made Vinnie want to punch him in the face.

“He’s alright, I guess. You know how I am. I like to keep things low key, and he seems to want to be the center of attention all of the time. I don’t fuck with that.” He divulged as they stood by her car. Their group of friends had made plans to go to the carnival, and Jacob had tagged along, not shutting up the entire car ride there.

She nodded, “Yeah, that’s how I am too. I just feel bad. He’s new to L.A., and he’s not the most personable...I get it. I promise he’s a lot more chill one on one; he’s actually really sweet. I think he’s just nervous around a lot of people, especially you.”

Vinnie scoffed, crossing his arms in front of his chest. “Why me?”

“Well, for one, you can be very intimidating at first, and you always look like you wanna murder him.” She placed her hands on his arms, slowly pulling them down to rest at his sides. “You know, a smile wouldn’t hurt.”

“Mhm.” 

He furrowed his eyebrows, and she laughed at his unwavering expression, raising her hand to squish his face. “What was I thinking? You look so approachable and cute.”

Vinnie decided he would try to play nice today, letting (Y/N) drag him to catch up with their friends. He knew, and he was sure she knew as well, that he would do anything to keep her happy. The reason why? He was falling in love with her and had been for some time now. No one knew, except Vinnie’s mom and Vinnie himself. Falling in love with your best friend always sounded so great in love songs but, no one talked about how fucking hard it was to tell them. No one talked about how hard it was to see someone constantly making eyes at the girl you had feelings for. No one talked about how fucking scary it was to imagine being rejected.

 Playing nice didn’t last long. 2 hours with Jacob was more than enough time for Vinnie, and he was happy when they all eventually split up. (Y/N) was standing between Vinnie and her best friend Aurora, chirping away about how badly she wanted to go on the Ferris wheel. He liked the way her eyes were lighting up and wanted to see how excited she got once the three of them reached the top. 

“(Y/N), you gotta sit with me on the Ferris wheel!” Jacob beamed once they got into line, easily throwing her over his shoulder.

She squealed in surprise, hitting him on the back. “Fine, you win, put me down! Put me down!” She said, and Jacob didn’t listen, spinning her around.

“Bro put her down,” Vinnie said sternly, halting Jacob’s movements. The air was tense as (Y/N) was set back down on her feet.

Jacob let out an awkward laugh, clapping an annoyed Vinnie on the shoulder. “Relax. I was just joking around, kid.”

“Number one, don’t call me kid...and number two, you’ve been doing too much all day. I think you need to relax.” Vinnie snapped, making Jacob visibly flinch. Aurora shared a look of concern with (Y/N), unsure if the two boys would start fighting.

“(Y/N), what’s good with your friend?” 

Vinnie threw his head back, laughing in amusement. “I’m going to walk away before I really smack this kid in the mouth.”

With that, Vinnie left, taking a few deep breaths as he made his way to the parking lot. Maybe he’d been a little too mean, but it was irking him. Jacob had been friends with (Y/N) for two weeks. Why was he picking her up and spinning her around or holding her hand? Why was she letting it happen? Vinnie couldn’t stand watching Jacob or anyone else touch her, letting his anger get the best of him.

“Vinnie!” He didn’t stop walking when he heard (Y/N) calling his name. She eventually caught up with him, the boy standing by her car. “I appreciate you telling him to put me down, but he wasn’t hurting me or anything. I’m sorry he’s been so annoying all day and the whole calling you ‘kid’ thing. I told him to tone it down, but clearly, he’s not capable of that.”

“It’s not just about this, (Y/N).”

She frowned, “What else is there? Did I do something wrong?” He averted his gaze.

(Y/N) watched him with cautious eyes, silently begging him to explain what was going on. “I don’t want Jacob touching you. I don’t want anyone but me touching you because I want you...really badly.”

“Oh. Oh.” He tried to gauge her reaction. “Well, why didn’t you just tell me that, dummy? You say the word, and it’s hands off to everyone but you.”

He couldn’t contain his smile, “Are you sure?”

“Yes. I want you just as bad.” Her back hit the car as he connected their lips in a much-needed kiss, hands sliding around her waist as she wrapped her own around his neck. He didn’t pull away until they were both breathless, her eyes lighting up like they were both at the top of the Ferris wheel.

IRL/OC Bracket: C & G vs Alic and Gray!

C & G propaganda:

Ok so these next few paragraphs are copy pasted from what I wrote on queering the map. Hope it makes you cry :) (Entries were written around mid-2020, with the last being written in 2023)

My school had a field trip to this park, my best friend and I found a quiet spot under some trees. I set up the blanket/mat I had brought, she propped up an umbrella. We laid down beside each other face-to-face. That was the first time I ever felt tempted to kiss someone. To this day I consider it as one of my gayest moments (right next to asking her out and later on asking her to be my qpp on a ferris wheel XD)

November(?) 2017 - We were talking about your maybe-crush on a friend when you mentioned that you used to have a crush on me. I confessed about my past crush on you too and started flirting with you. "Have you moved on from her? Will you be my girlfriend? We don't have to put a label on it or anything yet we can just-" "Yes" We dated for a month (full of silly puns and cheek kisses and gifts from Japan) before we broke up (can you blame us? we were twelve and our dads found out) but you're still my very best friend. I love you G - C

February 2020 - Day of the school fair, I had everything planned for a perfect day for you and me... until you brought along a classmate who had no one to hang out with and you were too kind to say no. We went on all of the rides, the three of us, and you mentioned how you have always wanted someone to dedicate a song to you at the song booth. I went out to reserve one, and then I stayed with you until both of you had to leave for your shifts. That's when I put my plan into action. I reserved a sunflower at the Lovebooth (I knew you liked sunflowers because of a certain character (the roses were way too romantic anyways)) and when you came back we got into line at the Ferris wheel with our other friends. While waiting my dedicated song finally played, and you turned to me with nearly the happiest smile I've ever saw on you. When we were getting closer I went to get my reserved sunflower, but the line was slow so I ended up asking my aunt to hold it for me. When the line was nearly there I got it back from her and our other friends helped me to hide it (Your sister wanted to ride with us but I told her my plan and she changed her mind). You got on and as you turned to face me I held out your sunflower. When we got to the top of the Ferris Wheel I asked what I had been planning to ask you for a week. "I don't know much about it yet, I still have to research more but... G, would you be my queer platonic partner?" You smiled the happiest smile I've ever seen on you that day. G, we haven't talked much since quarantine started, but I want you to know that I love you. I'm not sure what kind (romantic or platonic) but I know that you have a special place in my heart. I can't wait for this to be all over and for us to be by each other's side, drawing and reading and just talking about the things we never share with anybody else. I love you - C

July 2023 - The school fair was over 3 years ago, can you believe? So much has changed since then, quarantine happened, we were reduced to online classes, and I ended up moving to the States for a chance of a better life. We kept in touch, of course, through messages screaming over fandoms and platonic marriages on minecraft servers (how dare you for suggesting that before i knew abt cbeeduo >:( ) and like 5 meet ups over the summers. But it wasn't enough, and timezones and a desire for a more physical (in a actually there beside you sort of way) relationship eventually culminated in you asking to break it off two weeks before I met up with you in the Philippines. God damn it G, why didn't you wait? I had it all planned in my head. The night of my debut, as all my guests were leaving, I would take you to a private corner where we would talk, and I admit to you that yes, maybe my feelings for you turned out more romantic than I initially thought, but with the physical distance it wasn't right for us to pursue something of that nature, especially as I had wanted to try dating in college and didn't want to end up hurting you. I would say I love you and maybe leave you with a kiss, and that was how we'd gain closure. Well the kiss didn't happen and you laughed when I scolded you for not waiting before you admitted that yeah, you felt the same way but also agreed that our level of commitment wasn't right for us, not anymore. You promised me that if by the time we were done with college we were both single we could try again, but I won't hold you to that. G, thank you for being my bestest friend and first love, and I'm sorry that life didn't work out the way we had planned. I love you though, whether romantically or platonically, and I hope you're happy with where you end up in life - Yours always, C

anddddd that's it! veered a little romantic at times, but whats more queerplatonic than a relationship that blurs the lines of platonic and romantic eh? at the end of the day, we're still best friends and we care for each other deeply, even if we no longer officially label it as a qpr. hope our story made you cry >:D

Alic and Gray propaganda: Babes are fuckin THE qpr power couple for idiots. gray is the prince of the local country and his bestie/qpr partner alic is a local fantasy jock celebrity and they've been close since they were kids. their love language is taking "would you jump off a cliff if they told you to" from metaphorical to literal to hardcore metaphorical as in following each other into death in order to bring them back to life kicking and screaming even if that means not knowing if they themselves are going to be able to follow them back to life. anyway i wuv them and i think that should be enough More Alic and Gray propaganda!

The Great Animal Rescue

Summary: You should have minded your own business, but try saying no to a little girl who was crying for her cat. Now you are stuck in a tree trying not to embarrass yourself in front of the attractive individual who comes to your rescue.

A/N: This is a Skye/Daisy x reader short that is meant to give some background for them in I Said No

___________________________________________________________________

2:17pm

Y/N where r u??

You are stuck in a tree with no way down is where you are. You should really learn to say no to people. It’s what got you into this mess in the first place. You were on your way to meet your friends at the movies after stopping at an ice cream shop for a cone. You thought, why not walk the way there? It is only a few blocks away and it’s nice outside. 

So you began walking, licking your ice cream happily. It’s nothing compared to the ice cream shop in the small town where your cousin lives, but this one is still pretty damn good. Not two minutes into your stroll, the sound of someone sniffling made you pause. You hesitated to investigate where the noise was coming from, seeing that your cousin’s husband has given you plenty of lectures about stranger danger. You ignored the voice in your head saying he might have a point. He spends a lot of his time in New York; there are a lot of weirdos there. This is LA in broad daylight. The worst thing that could happen where you were at the moment would have been getting run over by an electric scooter. 

Clearly you were wrong.

It turned out to be some kid crying because her cat wouldn’t come down from the tree. You asked her where her parents were. She said they were inside the house and wouldn’t come outside because if the cat could climb up, it would eventually come back down. You told her they were probably right and were about to leave her there on the sidewalk but that was before she gave you some of the most adorable puppy dog eyes and a “please”. 

You asked the girl to hold your cone while you spotted the cat. It didn’t seem to be too far up into the tree. You started climbing up, grabbing a branch and hoisting yourself up. One branch made a on your green sweater, making you mumble in displeasure the rest of the way up to the cat. You should have listened to her parents as well. As soon as you had reached the cat, the damn thing ran past you and ran down the tree like a squirrel. You nearly lost your balance.

The girl thanked you even though you didn’t really do anything and ran inside her house after her cat, taking your ice cream with her. After mumbling to yourself on never falling for some puppy eyes again, you realized how far up you actually were. Your face blanched and your grip tightened around the tree branch keeping you balanced. 

You felt your phone vibrate and it took you 5 minutes to actually take it out to read the message. That’s where you are at right now. Trying to message your friend Ola back, typing with one shaky thumb.

2:23pm

Stuck intr ee two block sway help

Before pressing send, you think it over. Should you message her back? You know if you tell her to come rescue you, she would come with the rest of the gang and they would never let you live it down. Is it worth it? Better that than dying up here, you think.

Going to press send, your sweaty hand loses its grip on your phone and it falls onto the grass below. “Fuck!”

“Fuck!” Someone echoes from below, startling you in return. “Shit!”

You’re practically hugging the tree at this point. The person below you speaks to you, “You scared the shit out of me. What are you doing up there?”

You hesitate to look down but brave the fear of looking down to see the woman talking to you. And what a spectacular view you have. Had you not already been weak in the knees from being so terrified, you would have some now from looking at this gorgeous person. She’s clearly waiting for your reply, so you clear your throat and say, “Rescuing a cat. What are you doing?”

“Walking to my van.” She points to the van across the street. “Where’s the cat?”

“What?” you ask. She raises an eyebrow at you. “You said you were rescuing a cat, but I don’t see any.”

“Very observant of you,” you point out, not answering her question. She narrows her eyes at you. “You’re not like some weirdo trying to peek into someone’s bedroom are you?”

You scoff. “What?! No! I’m one for one on rescuing cats, actually. It went back inside to its house.” You defend yourself. “Besides, you’re the one with the creepy ‘I’ve got candy inside my van’ van, so.”

Now this stranger looks embarrassed. “It’s for work.”

“Who do you work for? The CIA?” you joke, making the woman laugh. “They’d wish.”

It’s your turn to give her a questioning look at the odd response. She ignores it and loops back to you. “So if this great animal rescue went just like you said, why are you still up there?”

“To, uh-get better reception,” you lie. She looks at you unimpressed and you see why when she bends down to pick up the phone you dropped. “You mean for the phone that’s down here on the ground?”

You laugh nervously. She catches on when she notices how tight your hold on the tree is. “Are you sure you’re not just stuck up there?”

“What? Stuck? Me?” you laugh as if what she is saying is just offensive. “No, I just liked the peacefulness the tree provided. I dropped my phone on purpose. Yeah, I didn’t want it to distract me from really appreciating the beauty of the world around us.”

“Yeah, the McDonalds down the road really does look beautiful in the daylight,” she quips.

“It’s the wonder of the golden arches,” you retort, pulling a genuine laugh from the woman. 

“Well, then I’ll leave you to it,” she says. You dryly swallow, afraid that your chance at getting down from the tree will leave with her. She speaks up again. “But before I go, would you like me to send the message to Ola that somewhat reads ‘Stuck in a tree two blocks away help’?”

She smirks and you sigh at being caught. “Okay, truth is I’m deathly afraid of heights. I didn’t realize how high I actually was until I tried coming down.”

“Well, that’s okay. It is one of the most common fears,” she reasons.

“It’s embarrassing. I can’t even look at a plane without feeling nauseous.”

“Well, I think you’ve been doing well so far. Look how long you lasted up there while looking down towards me.” She points.

“That’s only because you’re a good distraction,” you confess. 

She begins to climb up towards you. “Aww, are you trying to call me beautiful?”

You blush and don’t say anything though the silence speaks for you. She finally gets to you. “I’ll take that as a yes. Now, let’s get you down this tree, Robin Hood.” 

“Robin Hood?” you question the nickname. “Is it because of the tree?”

“That. Also, the tights and green top pull it all together. We just need to get you a bow and some arrows and you’ll be set.” The irony at the fact that there are plenty of arrows and bows at your cousin’s house due to her husband’s profession isn’t lost on you. Unfortunately, any joke you could make about it would get you in trouble, so you just smile at the beauty trying to help you down. 

She offers you her hand and helps you get down the tree branch to branch with all the patience in the world. Not once does she complain about the death grip you have on her hand. When your feet feel the ground beneath them, you feel like crying. Instead you just let go of the stranger’s hand and try to get your heartbeat to settle down to it’s regular pace.

“Not too bad, see? Soon you’ll be bungee jumping,” she jokes.

“That’s a big leap from getting down from a tree.”

“Well, yeah. It’s bungee jumping. Leaping is the first half of the process,” she says sarcastically. You roll your eyes at her playfully. Then she smiles at you with a gleam in her eye as if she just had the best idea in the world. “How about we start with something smaller then? What are you doing on Friday?”

“Um, I don’t have any plans yet.”

“Now you do. Friday night, you will be taking the next step to conquering your fear of heights!”

“It’s not bungee jumping, is it?” you ask, petrified. As beautiful as this girl may be, risking your life for the chance to see this girl one more time doesn’t seem like a well thought out trade. 

“Calm down, Robin Hood. I was thinking more along the lines of getting you to ride the ferris wheel at the fair,” she reassures you, making you blush.

“Like on a date?” you shyly ask. God, you hope you didn’t just embarrass yourself.

“Like on a date.” She smiles at you and your heart feels like it’s skipping.

“Y/N.”  You throw out. She looks lost so you explain, “Every Robin Hood has a name for when they aren’t up in trees ready to rob rich people. Mine happens to be Y/N.”

“Skye.” She offers her name and you take it so willingly, letting it ruminate in your mind. “Here.” She pulls your phone out of the pocket she had put it in. She goes to your contacts and adds herself in before handing it back to you. You stare down at it in wonder. 

“Well, I think your friends might be waiting on you, so…” She begins walking backwards. “I’ll see you Friday, Y/N!”

She turns around looking both ways before jogging across the street towards her van. You see her pull into the street nodding at you before driving off. You wave back after the van, dumbstruck. “What the hell just happened?” You mumble to yourself.

****

“You know when you said I would be getting on the ferris wheel, I assumed you meant you would go on it with me,” you grumble, making your way over to Skye who was waiting for you by the exit gate of the ride. 

She reaches for your hand pulling you closer to her. “Some things, you have to learn to do alone. You just have to let the belief that something great will come out of pushing through your fear guide you through that fear.”

“I don’t think any funnel cake we get later was worth that experience,” you pout. 

“Okay, then how about this,” she says before pulling you in to kiss you. It doesn’t last long but you let it consume you for the seconds you have. You open your eyes when she continues, “and a second date?”

“Only if it ends just like that,” you counter. She kisses you again, the second kiss leaving you just as dazed as the first.

“Deal,” she agrees, pulling you towards the funnel cake truck. “Next date, Robin Hood takes on Six Flags!”

“Wait, what?!”

So, just a side little thing for some Reader and Daisy/Skye context before she eventually shows up in I Said No. It feels like I’m giving this reader a whole Universe. The world does in fact revolve around Y/N. 

Obviously (or maybe not) I dropped some references to the other fic but really you could read either without needing to read the other (if it truly breaks your heart to see reader with anyone else).
