on the horizon... (1)
Tumblr media
CONSIDER . . . — from his side, what's likely to cause troubles in your relationship?
Tumblr media
CHARACTERS ! — megumi fushiguro, toge inumaki (separately)!
WARNINGS ! — uhh nothing's coming to mind tbh but it's not the most angst, just thoughts
REQUESTS OPEN !
Tumblr media
MEGUMI.
— for you and megumi, i think the main issue would definitely be vulnerability.
it's not as if he doesn't trust you, but growing up so jaded, having already resolved himself as being abandoned at a young age, it's no surprise that he struggles with it. it's not as if he lacks trust in you, honestly, if you're in a relationship, you're already one of the people he trusts most. but, those words of affection, caring and innately exposing, don't come easily to him at all.
going from classmates to close friends with you before had already been quite the adjustment for him, having to realise that he could also rely on you. but, when he finally realised that his feelings were not just limited to that of unspoken gratitude and friendship? honestly, at that moment, he'd almost immediately decided to bottle those feelings up and wait until they'd eventually subside.
he was a jujutsu sorcerer, and to know the cruel reality of jujutsu society and still open yourself up to a relationship like that?
that could only be considered foolish in his eyes.
and, yet.
when you'd confessed to him, words almost brazen with how little fear there was, as if it was any ordinary confession, he'd knowingly been selfish, accepting your words. he knew what was the smarter decision to make, yet he'd ignored it of his own accord.
in his mind, he's sure that he hasn't regretted it, not for a single moment, but it's clear he's unused to the new position you both find yourself in. divulging these personal matters of his heart, telling you so much about himself, none of it is as easy for him as it is for you. he tries, but it's not much compared to yours.
i think you'd understand his reasons for his trepidation, and you'd respect it, but it would probably feel difficult knowing you're opening up much more than he is. and, knowing that, would probably make you feel a little silly.
Tumblr media
TOGE.
when it comes to you and toge, though, i think the main issue would stem from miscommunication.
it's definitely not surprising that i'd decide on this, as his cursed speech does mean he has to actively curb his vocabulary down to seafood-related words, so it'd be much easier for misunderstandings to stem than in the average relationship.
still, i think toge's highly insightful, and so would be careful to still ensure he communicates with you through written notes and texts— ensuring that you're aware of how much he truly appreciates you. but, when the odd misunderstanding has already sparked, it's much harder to put the flames out.
why, exactly, is that?
because ignoring each other becomes stupidly easy.
all you really have to do is put some earplugs in and hit 'do not disturb' on your phone and it's done. it's not to say that it doesn't make you feel guilty for doing so, but in your irritation, it's much easier to just avoid than to actually solve the disagreement at the root.
from toge's side, it's also easy to ignore you when he's upset, but you two are (almost always) emotionally intelligent enough to realise that that's stupid and immature, so you hardly ever allow that to happen.
because of the constraints of your relationship, i feel like there'd probably be more of an emphasis of communication, and toge's internally quite aware that he'll never be able to verbally express his words to you. it sucks, but he's become accustomed to that knowledge and you've already accepted it too.
besides, you're not really missing out on much; he's insistent on making his feelings clear to you regardless.

alpha mikey with an omega who saw him with another omega who was all over him and he wasn't pushing the omega away so she runs away to kazutoras place crying?
TOKYO REVENGERS OMEGAVERSE ☆
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
୨୧ alpha! kazutora x omega! reader (ft. alpha! mikey)
— how kazutora reacts to mikey's infidelity and how he comforts his omega
(I made mikey a bad person here, I hope that's what you had in mind, and not a misunderstanding/miscommunication trope?)
tw : cheating, angst to comfort
my masterlist : ☆
Tumblr media
mikey never was one for huge displays of affection with you, or anyone for that matter. that's why you never actively questioned his lack of interest in hugging or touching you. you were just content the man accepted your courting gifts and let you stay by his side.
nonetheless, you couldn't help the growing pit in your stomach whenever he went out at night for one of his so called meeting. he always came back in the early morning, although emma's alpha always came back soon enough for then to spend the night together.
you also couldn't help for the troubled thoughts to make their way into your brain, screaming at you whenever he left you alone, anxious and neglected.
he was always there when you woke up, dark bags under his eyes, ruffled hair and crumpled clothes. he barely greeted you, excusing himself to go shower instead.
what he did all night long was a mystery. you could imagine anything all you wanted, mikey was like a closed book, never allowing anyone to look past cold facade.
it always was that way. but you foolishly thought that, with time and with a genuine affection for him, mikey would let himself relax and eventually confide to you.
however that day never came, and you were left in the dark by your own boyfriend. your relationship didn't even look like one, he barely scented you, the only hints of him on you were the stolen sweatshirts he carelessly left in his room. you took them in your nest quietly, making sure he never saw you doing so.
you remembered kazutora's advices on the matter. he would constantly tell you to just leave, that he was only making you miserable. "you don't deserve how he makes you feel".
he was always there to comfort you, to lend you a shoulder to cry on. he was quick to understand when something was wrong. and yet, despite his realistic warnings, you never really listened to him.
you felt like you were constantly walking on eggshells around mikey, deeply afraid to mess something up, and that all of your doubts would come true.
but your fear consumed you fully. and dread and curiosity made a bad combination. you didn't know what took over you when you left your apartment door a minute or two after him.
the cold air washed over you, sharply guiding you down the stairs, eyes slowly adjusting to the dark around you. you shivered, walking as softly as you could.
you stayed behind a huge statue during the whole meeting. you watched how he fiercely yelled at the kanto members, his voice raising cheers of approbation before the assembly was dissolved.
you remained hidden, observing everyone leaving, except for a few captains. they sat down on the stairs of the temple, with mikey towering over everyone.
you didn't know what to expect when a few more people joined in, clearly not affiliated with the gang considering their lack of uniform. you frowned upon the strange sight, some men you never saw and two girls.
you wondered what they were doing here when even you was not allowed to show up.
you waited, and pondered, and watched carefully and wait- what's going on? what are they doing ?
surely it wasn't what you thought right? you took in the scene before you, a veil covering your mind making it unable for you to think clearly.
why did it feel so cruel when it was something you actually already imagined happening whenever you were left in the empty space of your bed, whenever you couldn't know what he was up to.
you stood frozen in shock. her chest was pressed against him, she was whispering things you could only hate to imagine, hands caressing his thighs with a sultry look on her face.
your heart pounded hard in your own chest, the scene unfolding before you was like a cold shower. the intimate proximity made you feel nauseous and before you could even react, you body moved on its own and you left the place without looking back.
with tears in your eyes, you could still make out mikey's face : neutral, blank. it felt as if the omega embracing him didn't matter. it could've been you, or her. in the end, to him it was all the same.
you ran and ran, going as far as you could, not wanting to go home. you didn't want to come across him, to smell him, see him. you just wanted to dug yourself a hole and never come out of it.
your blurred vision made you stop in your tracks, heavily panting both from the rapid race you just experienced and the overwhelming wave of emotions consuming you.
you wished someone could just come and comfort you, the way you always dreamt mikey would do. you tried so hard to imagine a life he could never give you. it was hopeless and naive to believe he would change for the best. for you. you would laugh at yourself if you weren't feeling this low.
you started walking again, slower this time. you watched as you passed in front of the closed stores and neon lights. the familiar path guiding you to where you found solace the days you needed warmth the most.
you were exhausted, too tired to keep going on your own. you knocked on his door, waiting in silence and quiet sniffles. you heard noises coming closer behind the wall, and finally the door cracked open, revealing a freshly woken up kazutora.
you looked up at him, meeting his surprised face. "y/n ? hey, what's wrong? he asked, confused. it was the middle of the night, of course he would react this way. still you didn't have any plan to leave. this days, kazutora was the one giving you the most peaceful moments you've ever felt. that's why you ran up to him in your panicked state.
one, then two. and then you started shedding tears, salty drops rolling down your cheeks. your flushed face, dazed gaze and shivering form was a sight kazutora didn't expect to witness.
he had seen you broke down in tears in front of him a couple of times, but never quite like this. he didn't even have to question you, you didn't have to muster a single thing, kazutora knew what would make you seek out his home rather than yours.
"hey there, it's okay you can cry all you want, I've got you...", he wrapped his arms around you, dragging you inside the mellow comfort of his home. you let yourself be guided by his arms, going meekly along with him.
his chest felt nice, his reassuring scent felt nice, and that was all you needed after tonight. you were vulnerable, all your senses alert and distressed, instincts desperately searching for consolation and calm.
he carried you to his room with a gentleness that felt foreign. he laid you down in his bed, watching you for a moment.
"it's because of him, isn't it?" you nodded, not trusting your voice. he sighed, heart aching from seeing his favourite omega so miserably sad.
kazutora knew he wasn't the best person alive, especially after what his younger self did. but somehow, witnessing mikey breaking apart the only person he genuinely loved and cared about, bothered him greatly, to the point that he would've already confronted mikey about if it weren't for you and your desire to protect your alpha.
he felt sick in his stomach that such a sweet omega like you, could still look at mikey with hope and pure adoration in your eyes. even after how badly he treated you.
kazutora begged you several times to just leave him, frustration eating him up alive. couldn't you see how fucked up mikey is? he was beyond saving and he didn't even love you.
on the other hand, kazutora never missed a chance to show you patience and care. he made sure you could always find peace beside him, the thought of being your escape to your sad life consoled him.
he wished he was able to do much more for you. but you made it clear that he wasn't to interfere in your life. kazutora, despite how benevolent he is, couldn't suppress his instincts, constantly screaming at him to just snatch you away from this life you didn't deserve.
but he refrained himself, not wanting to attract your resentment. so he let it all happen, offering his support each time mikey's behaviour forced you to feel dejected.
but now he had you. he could feel the breaking point in your relationship with mikey. he sensed everything was all over.
"it's okay now, I'm here, and I'll never let anyone harm you again. I promise you", he could now watch over you, like he always wished.
he caressed your cheek, and you leaned into his soft touch. your breathing stilled, scent taking back its usual honeyed smell. you visibly relaxed, and with you, kazutora's face softened as well.
he successfully stopped your tears, "do you feel better now?" he asked you in a whisper.
"yes, I'm sorry for waking you up 'tora...", you watched him take your smaller hand in his, his thumb tracing soft circles on its back.
he reassured you, told you it was fine and that he was glad you looked for him instead of going back to that place and bottling up everything.
"are you going to go back there ?"
"what ?"
"you shouldn't y/n, he's an asshole. stay here, I'll take care of everything until you feel ready to move on. you won't have to worry about anything." he pleaded, eyes desperate to see you accept his offer.
kazutora just couldn't bare the thought of you going back to that bastard. you didn't have a home anymore now that things turned out this way, surely you would rely on him now ? he could show you how much better he can take care of you, he'll show you that he pays attention to you, to your interests, you'll never have to feel neglected again. he'll show how an alpha should have treated you.
you felt really comfortable in his embrace, allowing his fingers to run across your skin, kind hands brushing a strand of hair behing your ear.
you watched as he looked down at you fondly and you wondered how he could look at you that way, when mikey never once did. what about you made kazutora so worried about your safety and well being? did you even deserve such affection ?
he was always so gentle with the way he talked to you, choosing his words carefully as to make you feel comfortable. never crossing any lines, always so kind with his actions. you wondered when he started looking at you that way, but thinking about it, it seemed he always had a certain sadness lurking in his eyes whenever he watched you leave to join mikey.
"wouldn't that bother you?"
"of course not. you're really precious to me. keeping you safe is all that matters. please let me show you that I can protect and love you the way you deserve to be"
you closed your hands on his, smiling to yourself. genuine love felt great. "okay... thank you 'tora".
kazutora took that as his cue to come closer to you, cherishing the new proximity with you. he breathed in your scent he came to crave, putting his chin on top of your head after kissing your forehead softly.
more of his pheromones spread out, enveloping you in his fuzzy and warm scent which never failed to put you in a different kind of headspace.
being vulnerable around him was okay. you felt safe. and kazutora wouldn't have it any other way, having already promised himself that he would never let his sweet omega go through something like this again.

one summer day
Tumblr media
09 disconnect. where an unbridgeable distance stretches between you and ushijima
<< 08 to be human. | >> 10 epiphany.
pairing: ushijima wakatoshi x reader a/n: a short one now, the next one is like 5k words hehe - ave word count: 1.8k warnings: angst! miscommunication tags: @lemurzsquad @daisy-room @integers -- (inbox me if you want to be added to the tag list)
you surprised yourself with the creativity of your own excuses to avoid wakatoshi. group study? you can’t, you need to practice for orchestra. lunch? chika from orchestra wanted to go over some pieces with you. walking you home from school? eita’s got it, you have homework to go over together anyway.
as oblivious as ushijima is at times, you are quite sure he is onto you avoiding him. 
you can’t go on like this forever, you had decided back then. it’s one thing when the person you are in love with doesn’t see you that way — you expected nothing from him in that way, but it's another thing completely when he didn’t tell you that they lost in nationals.
he can’t go on expecting you to open up to him when he won’t do the same. when he won’t treat you as a close friend like you do with him. he knows your secrets but what do you know of his? 
it’s a purely give and take friendship, and you realize how ironic it is, being the one to cut it off, considering he is the one who only gives and you are the one who only takes from him. how can you give if he does not want to take?
you have accepted that it was a one-sided pining, but you thought you were friends. and selfishly, you wanted to be the person he turns to when life knocks him down. you wanted to mean something to him, even if that meant just friends. what does he think of you if you weren’t worth his honesty? what is your worth in his eyes then? you didn’t want to know.
how am i supposed to live knowing the answer to that when i started living because of you?
and so like a coward, you ran. 
at times like this, you are grateful for the fact that you are not in the same class as ushijima. 
semi became your shield, the wall between the two of you. the morning after you stayed over at ushijima’s dorm, you had run into tendo and semi while leaving. 
“this never happened,” you told them before heading home. and semi, having guessed for a while of your feelings towards ushijima, hurried to catch up with you. he had noticed the anguish carved into the lines of your face. 
you kept your silence, but he pestered you until you broke. you cried, squeezing your eyes shut at a feeble attempt to keep your tears in. your silent sobs wracking your frame that felt so small in his arms. and all he could do was hold onto you tightly, rubbing your back to comfort you.
your voice came out in a broken whisper, “semi, it hurts.”
that kicked his protectiveness over you into overdrive. “what did that bastard do?” 
you only shook your head quietly, tears soaking his jacket as you held onto him like your life depended on it.
at the slightest discomfort you show in ushijima’s presence, semi would usher you away, or stop him from approaching you. after three weeks of tension and hostility between the two, or more like hostility on semi’s part and confusion from ushijima, you relented. 
you didn’t want to be the cause for a fight in the volleyball team, and with semi’s hotheadedness, it was more than likely to occur in your absence. 
“it’s not his fault, semi.” you started, hugging your knees. that day, you found yourself sitting on the little concrete ledge outside the classroom with him to hide from ushijima. 
“he used you and you’re saying it’s not his fault?”
“what– no! it wasn’t anything like that!” you had fumbled with words at his misunderstanding. 
“i just don’t think he care about–” you shook your head. “he doesn’t treat me as a friend. not in the same way i do. and i don’t understand why. why he bothered being there for me if he doesn’t see me as a friend.” why he put my heart back together just to be the one to shatter it. you blinked rapidly, willing your tear ducts to listen to you. 
“oh, y/n. well he’s a shithead for that.” he nudged you with his shoulder. “say the word and i will punch him for you.”
“as if you would win that fight,” you sniffled, letting out a small laugh at his attempt to cheer you up. 
“oi, how could you say that? i am on your side here.” he squatted in front of you pouting. “c’mon we need to get back to class”
he offered you a hand as he rose. “thanks eita” you grabbed his outreached hand and dusted yourself off. 
back to the trenches you went. life goes on. you had once thought that you would rather have all of him as he is right now platonically than romantically, but life has a strange sense of humor. it hurt and hurt and hurt. and oh gods, will it ever stop?
“do you want to talk to him?” semi had asked you only once, a few days after he found out what happened between the two of you. you had only shaken your head and muttered something about “not wanting to find out”. he dropped the topic after that, respecting your decision, but still running interference whenever ushijima comes up. 
for your sake, he didn’t try to push you to do anything you were uncomfortable with, even if the situation was slowly deteriorating and quickly spinning out of control. what he didn’t tell you was ushijima’s growing irritability showing through at practice to the point that coach washijo told him to get his shit together. 
the curt and polite captain had descended to snapping at the younger players a handful of times when his patience ran thin. with the compounding factor of you avoiding him like a plague, his controlled composure is slowly reaching its limit. 
ushijima did not understand what he could have done to have you keep your distance from him. he was frustrated that he could not even try to talk to you with semi stopping him at every opportunity. what had he done so wrong that you are refusing to speak to him?
unable to figure out the problem on his own, he had spoken to tendo to get his opinion on the matter. tendo had suggested that perhaps it is the fact that you had stayed over in the same bed as him, which is something only two people in a relationship do, despite being only friends, and that he had tarnished your honor. 
then one day at practice, tendo announced that he had a good idea to get you alone with ushijima to talk things through, and so the plan was hatched. 
as tendo knocked on the door and pushed it open, he sees you for the first time in a few weeks, frozen like a deer caught in headlights. tendo had managed to squirrel the location of the classroom where the orchestra practice was held out of semi, and is now requesting the president for permission to speak with you privately. 
the short haired girl hesitates, but ushijima steps forward, “please, it is important.” at his words, she appears stricken, and torn between agreeing to their request and respecting yours. she knows that you have been avoiding him. hell, the whole year knows. 
she relents under pressure. ushijima is cognizant of his good looks, and his effect on girls in general. he knows of the fans he has garnered through his time in shiratorizawa, and strongly dislikes that most of them come to support him at games because of his looks, and not his skills. he has heard the whispers and the stares and his fair share of oh, he’s so hot’s and the i wish he’s my boyfriend’s throughout the years. but sometimes, it comes in handy, like right now.
his eyes stay on you, noting the resignedness on your face as you gently put the violin down on your seat that was right in front of the conductor. the glare you throw towards the short haired girl from earlier makes him chuckle under his breath. 
you march out towards a secluded archway, not bothering to check if he is following, but of course he is. he follows you closely, eyes taking in your moving form with detail. from the extra inch that your hair had grown in the last month and the specific ash brown of your hair that he had missed finding strands of on his clothes to your head moving side to side, looking at everything but him. 
“what did you want to talk about?” you waste no time in getting straight to the point.
he has to admit that it hurts for you to treat him like some stranger you had to deal with and go back to whatever you were doing, but if tendo is right, he deserves it. 
“i wanted to apologize.” he says, watching the fire in your eyes flicker before you looked away, feigning nonchalance.
“what for?” you shove your trembling hands deep into your pockets, far, far away from his watchful eyes. you hate it. you hate the way he sees through you so easily. 
ushijima hesitates then, hoping to the gods who are listening that tendo is right, “for having you stay over and share the bed with me even though we are not a couple.”
“i’m sorry, what?” you let out a laugh of disbelief. all the different directions you had thought this conversation would go, all of them ending in either tears or shouting, you did not see this one coming. “you thought i what?”
you lick your parched lips, “you thought i was avoiding you for something as insignificant as that?” all your overthinking and sleepless nights for him to come to this conclusion?
his eyebrows furrow at your words. “that is not the reason you–”
“absolutely not.” you cut him short, teeth gritted at your own foolishness, of secretly hoping he would come to the realization on his own, and maybe, maybe you can go back to how things were. 
noticing your kouhai poking her head out from the classroom back down the hallway, you take that as your cue to leave. “now if you will excuse me, i need to get back to practice.”

Hello hope everythings going well ♡Can you write a txt reaction to your teasing and rowdy rivalry being mistaken as resentment towards eachother. Thanks in advance
txt reactions to misunderstanding your behaviour
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
genre: general, angst??
warnings: none
please like and reblog if you enjoy :]
Tumblr media
soobin
soobin thought you hated him. like genuinely thought he'd overdone his teasing and had overstepped some sort of boundary with you. and he hated himself for it. he over-thought everything he did and ran through every interaction he has had with you in his brain. maybe he just read the room wrong? and now he feels heavier when he sees you. it is only until your teasing becomes playful that he realises you don't resent him and actually just have a different way of interacting with him. something he will have to get used to.
yeonjun
yeonjun is a funny one with this because i feel like this misunderstanding would happen a lot. teasing is basically a love language with him and lord knows he has a massive crush on you. but when you respond back with the same level of teasing and fierceness as him, he doesn't second-guess things. but that doesn't stop him. he might even test the waters and see how far he can push you before he sees the mask crack. he's fascinated by your challenging personality and doesn't view it as a hurdle to go over, but rather a difference to embrace.
beomgyu
similar to yeonjun, teasing is like breathing to beomgyu; it comes naturally and quickly, sometimes before he even has a chance to think about what he is saying. but he's also quite sensitive and will spend time replaying conversations with you in his head. maybe he shouldn't have said certain things and maybe, heaven forbid, you weren't playing around with him. maybe you were being serious about the things you had said. not teasing him, but hurting him. after thinking like this, his next interactions with you won't be as feisty. they'd be calm, and quiet, which concerns you. he's never usually like this with you, after all.
taehyun
taehyun hates miscommunications and makes an effort to avoid them. when it comes to having feelings for someone, however, it can cloud his judgement a bit. he might say things in a certain way or in a certain tone which makes you think he doesn't like you at all, when in reality he loves you but has no idea how to convey these feelings. so you mistake his stiffness for his disliking you and treat him the same way, unwillingly. it's a bit of a tense situation to find yourself in but the misunderstanding reveals itself sooner than you'd think. then you both just feel stupid about the whole thing.
hueningkai
kai's heart can definitely not handle stuff like this. feelings are so complicated anyway and he has his emotions in the forefront of his mind regardless of the situation. hueningkai wouldn't tease you as relentlessly as the others but sometimes he just doesn't know when to stop or takes it too far purely by mistake. which makes him feel extremely guilty, bless him. so he would probably take it the worse if you started treating him the same way he did by accident. he will probably explain to you his awkwardness is coming from immense attraction to you and hopes you will understand and accept his apology.

Hello! I hope you’re having a good day/night, huge fan of your blog!!
and i’m wondering if you know any ‘angst while sleeping together’ fics. where they have sex but one of them thinks that they only want them for sex and not for a relationship but decide to just take whatever they can get. huge miscommunication basically lol, ive read maybe one or two johnlocks of this trope but i loved them
:)) thanks in advance
Hey Lovely *HUGS*
Thank you for the kind comments, I'm so happy you like it here.
Ah, hmm.... These lists might work for you?
Miscommunication / Misunderstandings
Miscommunication / Misunderstandings Pt 2
Do They Know They’re In A Relationship?
Ambiguous Relationships
And of course these two fics fit your description perfectly:
Acceptable Behaviour by bbcatemysoul (M, 3,449 w., 1 Ch. || Fluff, Dev. Rel., Miscommunication, First Time) – Sherlock isn't really sure why John wants to shag him, but he's certain that if he's careful to behave properly about it, John can be persuaded to keep doing it. In other news, John is a good boyfriend and Sherlock is an idiot.
On the Losing Side by missselene (E, 8,210 w., 1 Ch. || Anal / Oral, First Kiss / Time, Angst, Misunderstandings, Mild Dub Con / Drunk John) – After Mary's death, John moves back into Baker Street, but is still upset at the loss of his wife and child. Eventually, he and Sherlock stumble into a sort of relationship, but it's more physical than anything and they don't talk about it. They especially don't talk during sex. If they are going to have sex, Sherlock notices the signs hours beforehand, and he prepares carefully. The lights are off, they're under the covers, he prepares himself using lots of lube so he can make it feel as much like a woman as he can, and he doesn't let himself make any noise so that, if John wishes, he can pretend that he's still with Mary.
====
If anyone has something that they would like to suggest, please do!!

Glad you get a break from writing everyone deserve one can I please request an Kenma x reader where he getting ready to propose and asked his friends to get y/n distracted so him and kuroo can get a ring but his friends take it a little too far and tell y/n that he thinks they’re too much (you know how he’s super non energetic and hyper so y/n is very energetic and hyper) so when he asked her to marry him she says no thinking he actually thinks that Kenma gets very sad until y/n says she knows what he said about her to his friends but he tells her it’s just a misunderstanding and she accept his propose
Thank you!!! While it felt horrible to not write any requests it was probably for the best!!tysm for requesting this I’m not to sure if I wrote this properly but I did try!!
Tumblr media
Tw- Kuroo and Lev make reader belive their personality is too much for Kenma, cursing, misunderstandings and everything in the request pls let me know if I missed anything!!also it’s angst with happy ending(angst is by miscommunication so!!)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
When Kenma went to propose he made the horrendous mistake of asking both Kuroo and Lev to distract you at the little garden table of the reunion you were at, he isn’t sure why he thought it was a good idea because honestly they fucked up big time.
Of course you’d asked where Kenma was muttering about how he told you this morning today was super important and left no room for mistakes and Lev accidentally slipped a lie saying that he’d left due to how much you’d dragged the both of you into conversations.
It hurt a lot to hear that it felt horrible and Kuroo trying to repair the damage only made it worse mentioning how Kenma felt you two were complete opposites so of course he said Kenma would understand if you didn’t take into consideration that he didn’t always like conversation…
You got up from the table and slipped into the bathroom crying. When you returned Kenma was back unknowing of the fuck up that occurred less than ten minutes prior.
When he gets down on one knee it takes all you have to not slap him, “no” you whisper.
You’ve both got tears in your eyes, you stand and practically bolt to the car.
“Baby please open the door” Kenma whispers, he doesn’t try the handle. He refuses to force you to talk to him about this, if you want this to be the end than it will be because he loves you to much to keep you down.
“I heard all about what you told Kuroo and Lev…that I’m to much…”
“I’ve never said that” he mutters quietly, “you know that I don’t mind it at all…” he’s quiet, he always is it’s the opposite of your loud sobs.
The opposite of the loud noise the door makes followed by a loud thud of Kenma being knocked over by the door.
You shuffle over apologetically as you help him up laughing wetly.
You hug him right, “so you’ll marry me” he asks into your neck as you squeeze him tight.
“Yea” you giggle softly before sniffling once again.
“And I don’t ever think for a second you’re to much” you nod before Kenma’s pulling you along back to the rest of the group.
Tumblr media
Pls let me know if you guys want to see more because I love writing requests so much!!!

Hello! I have a few questions for you if you don't mind
What got you into writing fic?
What got you into Star Wars, specifically ObiKin?
What's your favorite dynamic, shipping, and/or otherwise?
And what's your favorite piece of art?
Don’t mind at all! Thanks for asking out of interest!
✨Gonna add a break here since I’ll be rather detailed I think.✨
I’ve been writing fic since 2022 for the Reylo community! (I have a side AO3 account.) I’d been a Reylo since the beginning, but was never really involved online or in fandom spaces. In late 2021, I started reading fanfic for the first time and was blown away by the quality of the stories for Reylo I had found. After a while, I made my own account to read stories in dark mode, then decided to try my hand at writing for that ship, and I have enjoyed it ever since! At the moment, I have taken a break from Reylo. Partially from burn out and partially due to breaking from a toxic side of the fan base. So I’m taking a much needed breather and Obikin was there to meet me! 🤣
I’ve been a SW fan since I was 13. Had an all-nighter at a friends house and we watched all 6 (at the time) in order and I fell in love with the franchise! It was such a blessing to experience the sequels coming out not long after.
As for being an Obikin, I only got into that ship late last year! My friend online and I were watching all the films over again, and she’s a big Anidala shipper, and I am not. So while watching, I was debating her about Anakin and Padme and I said something to the affect of. “To be honest, I think Anakin and Obi-Wan have better chemistry.” And the thought just sort of…took root. 🤣 Now I’m a rather die hard Obikin!
I am a damn SUCKER for enemies to lovers. ((Looking at Reylo, and also Zutara.)) But I won’t ever be like ‘eh, nah’ to other variations like friends to lovers. I usually like a ship as long as I don’t perceive it to be toxic. I hate reading fanfic (or published, original media) that’s riddled with misunderstandings and miscommunication. You will not see me write anything like that. I just always love it when a ship has ‘I have seen you at your worst, and I still will love and accept you and stay by your side.’ Not in an unhealthy ‘I can fix them’ way, but where character A knows character B can be and do better, and will support character B as they work to be better. I’m all for angst, but I’m even more for overcoming it in healthy ways.
At the moment my favorite piece of art of mine that I have done is probably this:
instagram
I had never attempted a screenshot redraw like this before, and have never been comfortable painting digitally. So as I was drawing this, I was kind of amazed at how well it was going? I was also just, SO proud of myself when I was done. So it’s a special piece to me. 🫶
Thank you for all of your questions!!! 🤣

THEN LET ME BE CRUEL, IT WILL BENIFIT US ALL IN THE END <3
....ohmygod you're making me feel things already- all the opportunities for miscommunication... and the re-opening and eventual healing of old wounds... half truths and secrets... and then when they meet again, old feelings pushed to the side coming back full force... betrayal mixing with yearning... each wanting the other still, but too hurt by their past to move forward... just THEM- and scar, seeing them together, maybe again, maybe for the first time- AUGHH
Imagine the memories waring for attention... fights mixed with nights spent under the stars... crying alone... laughter and cuddling... what wins out first I wonder? 😌
DO YOU LIKE THE FLAVOURS >:]
-🍂
Are you PROUD of yourself, 🍂Autumn🍂 Anon. Are you proud of how you fill my head with THOUGHTS and IDEAS-
Ohh the miscommunication and misunderstandings... the "realizing the person you love is still in love with his ex, and realizing his kid doesn't want you around interfering with their perfect family, and thinking that leaving will be for the best for everyone but not realizing that he also loves you and doesn't want to lose you," the way history repeats, all the mistakes... the want to fix what's been broken only causing it to shatter more...... the realizing that a perfect family doesn't have to be a typical family.... the fear of it being too late..... "So you're just gonna let him walk away, huh? Just like you let me? Do you think he wants to leave? Do you think I wanted to?" THE FORGIVENESS, THE DRAMA AND THE ROMANCE AND THE ANGST AND THE HURT/COMFORT AND THE UNDERSTANDING, THE "LOVE TRIANGLE BUT SIKE IT'S THROUPLE TIME" the falling in love for the first time and falling in love all over again and learning to accept change and give people a chance and second chances and just just hjfdskjfdk-
But also the absolute emotional destruction of a child who realizes he's absolutely ruined his father's second chance at happiness by chasing after the past, and gave up the family he already has to try and get back the one he never had and just jfdskds I am feeling things
Also the absolute humor in Tubbo being the only one to realize Grum and Jrum totally switched places just because Jrum is warmer towards him than Grum was-

but i love you more
ft. itoshi rin
tags : misunderstanding/miscommunication, corporate worker!reader, proplayer!rin, awkwardness, rin being a coward, angst to fluff, rekindled love/second chance romance, happy ending!!
a/n : oh my god i'm finally finished with this fic (thank god) after it's been sitting in my drafts for MONTHS. i got the motivation to finish it in the dead of night yesterday so pls let it be worth it LOL.
Tumblr media
highschooler!rin who is your first love. he’s there to support you in your dreams of living a simple life and pursuing a corporate job. you’re there to support him in football and his ambitions to go pro.
highschooler!rin whose brother traumatized him after getting back from spain. from then on, rin decides his ultimate goal is to surpass his brother in football and to fully achieve that, he has to break up with you.
highschooler!rin who lays awake staring at the ceiling that night, unable to fall asleep due to the rush of thoughts running through his head. he can feel himself spiraling, and he knows you don’t deserve to go through this. he has to let you go.
highschooler!rin breaks up with you the next day, stating his lame ass excuse of wanting to focus on his football career. in reality, he just doesn’t want you to get involved with him and all his negative feelings. you’re oblivious to all that he’s going through and simply accept that you’re second to football in his heart. you agree to breaking up, wishing him good luck and happiness in his future.
highschooler!rin who comes to realize how lonely he is after losing you. since you’ve been gone, his life has become dull and without life. rin feels empty without you by his side, but he knows it’s for the best.
or at least he thinks so.
proplayer!rin who regrets everything he’s done to you and misses you dearly. his love life has been rocky ever since you left, especially now that he’s famous and under the scrutiny of the media.
proplayer!rin whose recent breakup left his reputation in shambles. the public view him as someone talented and handsome, but his personality has too many flaws. “he’ll never find a girlfriend with such a personality” they say, when in fact, they know nothing about him.
proplayer!rin who realizes all the people who have dated him after you fail to understand him. he tries, of course, to be affectionate and doting and the perfect boyfriend. it’s never enough in their eyes. they always say he’s too distant and closed off. they’ve been with him for how long now and still don’t know anything about him. they’ve changed him.
proplayer!rin, having gone through many breakups and makeups, realizes quite a few things about love. he realizes love, or rather, people are complicated. he’s been through all of its troubles, from public scrutiny to betrayal. he discovers some only love him for his wealth and fame. and those who truly love him for who he is eventually leave him due to his lack of communication and emotional unavailability. he’s learned and grown from love.
but most importantly, proplayer!rin realizes he still loves you.
proplayer!rin who meets you again as part of a marketing campaign with your company. he finds out that you did achieve your goal of becoming a corporate worker as you are currently the manager of the marketing department.
proplayer!rin who is awkward when talking to you again after such a long time (and even pouts a little when you act like he’s a stranger).
proplayer!rin who tries to become friends with you, hoping that he’ll somehow be a part of your life. proplayer!rin who still sees the girl he crushed on in high school reminiscent inside the more mature you now. upon getting to know you and seeing how much you’ve changed, proplayer!rin finds himself falling even deeper for you.
you could sense him professing silent apologies to you through his actions as he complies with everything you ask him to do. for the first time in his career, proplayer!rin doesn’t complain one bit about doing pr.
ex!rin who finally manages to strike up a normal conversation with you a week into the campaign and totally doesn’t stutter one bit.
ex!rin who is surprised when you tell him you forgive him for breaking up with you in such a rude way considering his career did become incredibly successful (you don’t know how broken he is).
ex!rin who wants to tell you how much he regrets doing so but the words seem to be stuck in his throat.
ex!rin who begins subtly courting you again once he confirms his status as your…acquaintance.
ex!rin who finds himself buying you a (pretty expensive) gift on your birthday a few months after the campaign has ended. he spends the night before your birthday with you, wishing you a happy birthday right as the clock strikes twelve.
ex!rin who hands you your gift in his usual shy tsundere manner, not even daring to make eye contact with you. you accept it with a kind smile, even going as far as giving him a kiss on a cheek, but telling him to not take it the wrong way. ex!rin who blushes a bright red and finds color and happiness returning to his life at the slightest touch from you.
ex!rin who continues looking after you, inviting you to his games, taking you out to romantic dinners, buying you luxury items. but you feel like something is missing, it all seems so superficial. you eventually tell rin that you’re not friends with him for his luxury lifestyle and wealth, but rather for the highschooler!rin that you’d known.
ex!rin who finally pours his heart out to you one night, finally unveiling the trauma that sae caused back in his high school days. ex!rin who cries the most you’ve ever seen that night, claiming he regrets losing you so much. you’re moved by his words and actions these past few months, wanting to give him a second chance.
ex!rin who clings onto asks you to teach him how to love you again. to which you gently pat his head and agree.
friend!rin who is hesitant at first, reverting back to his shy and awkward self around you. yet you’re glad to see his boyish charm return, and you let him in, slowly but surely.
friend!rin who changes his ways and goes on more authentic hangouts with you. he cooks dinner for the both of you, goes on coffee dates, and watches movie marathons late into the night with you.
friend!rin who opens up about his career so far, talking about both his personal life and (unsuccessful) love life. he tells you about all the people he’s met and dated and (he avoids eye contact with you, a deep blush on his face) how he realizes you’re the best he’s ever had. you smile brightly at that, saying “i know.”
friend!rin who ends up giving you gifts again, but this time with much more meaning and sentiment tied to them. exhibit a : he saw the trend where people would make bouquets from scratch for their s/o and decided he had to do the same. you opened the door to rin holding a giant bouquet of your favorite flowers and an alarming amount of thorn pricks on his hand (you had to patch him up after).
friend!rin who unconsciously develops physical touch with you and only you. first it was just comfortably sitting next to each other. then it was the arm linking and casual hugs (that last a bit too long), which you consider to still be friendly gestures. but that somehow develops into intertwined hands and cuddling?? next thing you know he’s pressing himself up against you any chance he gets, resting his cheek against the crook of your neck.
this is definitely more than friends, but you don’t have to the heart to push rin away, especially when you know how hard it is for him to feel this comfortable after what happened with sae. and you would be lying if you said you aren’t enjoying it as well.
you also soon come to realize that itoshi rin is a coward. you two have been in this situationship for a month now and he still hasn’t come forward to ask you out like a proper person. so, you take matters into your own hands.
“what are we?” you ask him as you two are lazing on your couch, finding a movie to watch. “huh?” more-than-friends!rin turns to you. “i’m asking you what are we?” you make eye contact with him, “whatever this is has been going on for months and you’re not saying anything about it.”
more-than-friends!rin stays silent for a moment.
you almost think he’s chickening out and running away again when he suddenly whispers, “i wanna be your boyfriend.”
“hmm? i didn’t hear what you just said,” you push on.
“i said, i want to be your boyfriend!” he exclaims.
“okay!” you shout back.
everything falls silent. and then, boyfriend!rin pulls you down for a kiss.
loving you comes easy to boyfriend!rin. it’s like he’s breathing air. you two get off work, meet up for dinner (if your schedules permit), go on cute dates, and cuddle like it’s nobody’s business. he buys you cute things, you do the same. you travel together, eat together, and eventually sleep together when he asks you to move in. it’s different from all of the people he’s loved before.
he realizes that you do, in fact, love him the most.

i have a love-hate relationship with hanahaki fanfics
on one hand there’s the angst, the drama, unrequited love and near death love confessions, the slow acceptance of death from one person and the other one absolutely falling apart as they fall in love
on the other hand? it doESNT MAKE ANY FUCKING SENSE OH MY GOD??? originally it was only about unrequited love and while i still don’t know how the disease knows it’s unrequited, at least it went with the angst, and tbh it could just be a bit of magic i don’t care as long as it makes SENSE
over time i feel like the stories have become more of a misunderstanding/miscommunication trope and i HATE that so much omg
because??? how does that work?? does hanahaki differentiate between unrequited love and unconfessed love? what about unrealized love? is it a necessity to confess your love immediately because you are at risk of inducing hanahaki if it’s unspoken (in a scenario where both of them are in love)?
wouldn’t, theoretically speaking, everybody have hanahaki as soon as they fall in love because they don’t know whether the other person loves them as well? at least in universes that use hanahaki in a miscommunication setting
it’s just not planned well enough in most fics which leaves HUGE plot holes and just ruines the flow of the story for me (everybody can enjoy what they want, it’s just not for me)
again, there are great hanahaki stories out there, and the trope has amazing potential, i just believe some authors need to plan the whole unrequited part of the disease better or at least give a good explanation for the miscommunication part

It’s impossible to ignore you. (Eddie Munson x Reader)
Next.
Tumblr media
Summary: Chrissy and Eddie seem to become close after a drug deal. The feelings you kept locked up suddenly start overflowing and you become afraid of losing your best friend. You fail to realize Chrissy was helping him gain the courage to admit his feelings to you.
Warnings: Slow burn friends to lovers. Angst. Unrequited feelings (but not really). So much miscommunication/misunderstanding. Reader being an anxious mess and an over thinker. Both Eddie and reader being oblivious dumbasses.
A/N: I said I was bringing angst to the Eddie fandom and here I am. Im deciding to make this 3 parts instead of two because I wrote so much already. And I love dragging the way they are idiots. Comments and messages are so welcomed! Yell at me! Thank you for all the support (:
Word count: 7k or something
You were confident in your friendship with Eddie. The friendship was build on so much trust and years of learning each other’s quirks and habits. Confiding in each other with secrets that you wouldn’t tell another soul and insecurities that ate away at your thoughts during the night.
You both were practically each other halves. Yin and Yang. Others may have found it kinda annoying, the way you both were practically attached at hip. But no one could deny how much you complimented each other.
Many would go as far to say you were platonic soulmates, which you happily accepted at first. Until the platonic aspect begin to leave a bitter taste in your mouth. A taste you desperately ignored and whatever thoughts followed was pushed to the back of your mind because you were not going down that worm hole.
Because you were his best friend. You were the first one to force him into a friendship when he first moved to Hawkin’s, running away from his parent’s home to his uncle’s, with a toothy smile on your baby face.
You were the one to compliment his drawings he hid at first of his dnd characters and learned the game to hear him excitedly talk about it at any chance. The one to force him to tell you who had formed the bruise on his eye. The one who then proceeded to hold their packaged popsicle against it until it melted.
And he was yours. He was the one to tell you that it was okay to be sensitive despite your parents harsh words. Eddie was the one to hold you after scary nightmares when he had convinced you to watch a scary movie you definitely had no reason to watch, only to tease you once there was no more fear in your system.
He was the one that held your textbooks even if he complained the whole time between classes. Eddie was the one to make a whole show of embarrassing himself in order to make you feel comfortable. He was the only one who understood your anxious rambling at random subjects that were in your mind on that particular day.
So yeah. You were content and happy with your place in Eddie’s life as best friends. Even if your developed crush was always something you beat down every day. Because as long he was in your life, you didn’t care if platonic was forever stamped on your relationship.
You were each other’s first choices. Always. So when he had mentioned one lunch period that Chrissy was meeting up with him for a deal, you only felt surprised that the school’s cheerleading Queen was going to buy drugs. A bit amused that she was meeting with her boyfriend’s worst enemy, the “Freak” of Hawkins.
You didn’t put much thought into it until you watched him and Chrissy seem to have a prolonged eye contact moment after said deal, in your last class together that same day. The blush in his cheeks when he looked away being the final realization that oh, maybe you really weren’t okay with it at all.
“How did the deal go?” You asked a little later, over the milkshake that was being shared at the small diner that was both your favorites. With the campaign Eddie had planned for that night, it was decided to hang around town before heading back to school.
“It went fine.” He answers after taking a long sip of the strawberry shake, emptying the glass.
You groaned, “Eddie, you hog!”
He smiles innocently as you tilt the glass to stare at the loss. “Oops.”
The pout on your face was immediately knocked down when he grabs the cherry he saved for himself and places it on your napkin. You accept the trade off as he continues. “She didn’t buy anything anyway. At least not for now.”
You hum as you grab the cherry he gave you, popping it in your mouth. “How come? It took a while so figured she did buy something in the end.”
He seems to fiddle with one of his rings anxiously. “We talked a bit,” that blush was back on cheeks, “Guess it took longer than expected. But I didn’t have what she needed, so she’s coming back to my trailer after hellfire tonight.”
“Talk about what?” You ask a bit too quickly, wiping your fingers on your napkin.
“Just..stuff.” He shrugs and pushes the empty glass to the end of the table. Eddie grabs the forgotten menu, even though you both know it by heart. “Hey, you want another milkshake? Or should we ask for a cheesecake?”
Oh. The cherry tasted dull in your mouth but you chewed it regardless, ignoring the small tug on your chest at the change of demeanor. It was so small yet you noticed it. He seemed uncomfortable at the topic, as though he didn’t want to breach it.
You were quiet for a moment before realizing he was looking at you questionably, so you smiled. “Trying to get me sick so I’ll miss hellfire, and not embarrass you huh?”
“Ohhh, those are fighting words sweetheart,” he narrows his eyes and his tone darkens. “I’m not one to back down. You’ll going to wish I wasn’t dungeon master.”
The implication on his “small talk” had you reeling as he drove you both back to the highschool. What exactly did they talk about then? And why did Eddie seem embarrass? As though whatever was shared between them in the woods wasn’t something he wanted to share with you.
Eddie didn’t have to share everything with you. But he always did. So seeing him dismiss the topic so quickly, it was different.
He always would tell you about the potheads that would regard him like some god, or the way the preppy kids acted like he would curse them if they were in his space for too long.
It wasn’t a big deal. Really. But Chrissy knocking on the door to the room Hellfire had taken place in that night, calling Eddie’s name had you feeling small suddenly. You, Gareth, and Eddie had been putting all the chairs back after the exciting game Erica had concluded with her lucky roll, when she walked in hesitantly.
Eddie jumped up from jamming his stuff in his backpack to greet her.
“Sorry, it ran a little longer than usual.” He states. “But we could head out now. You got your stuff, bug ?” Eddie looks towards you where you were zipping up your backpack. The idea of being in the same van as them together had you feeling uneasy suddenly.
You weren’t sure if you wanted to see any interaction that would make your anxious thoughts worse. Your eyes shift towards Gareth and your mouth spoke before you could think, “oh I can’t. Gareth had invited me for pizza tonight.”
“I did?” Gareth head jerks up from where he was, hand on the door knob ready to leave the room.
“He did?” Eddie sharply accuses at the same time, turning towards Garth who was staring between you both with wide eyes. His mouth hanging open, looking at you confused. You stared wide eyed back at him and nod quickly, pushing yourself towards the brunette.
“Ha! yeah he did, I totally forgot to tell you Eddie!” You shove Gareth a little too hard out into the hallway, out of sight before he could protest and expose your lie. Pretending like you didn’t hear the sound of him slamming against a locker.
“He only invited you?” Eddie voice was a bit tight, he pauses and coughs, “I mean, why not invite the rest of us?”
You felt bad realizing that your get away was going to make Eddie excluded. “Well, I mean, you have to take Chrissy right?”
Eddie blinks like he forgot she was there. “Well yeah but-“
“So it’s fine! He’ll take me home, don’t worry Eddie.”
“Right..” he mumbles, noticing Chrissy smiling at him before perking up, “You better bring me a slice yeah? Or else you’ll walking to school in the morning.”
You roll your eyes, nodding before he could try to mess with your hair and push yourself to leave them alone in the room.
You tried not to watch them leave the school together as you sat in Gareth’s car, recognizing the ugly emotion that washed over you in waves.
A part of you secretly hoped that would be the end of it. That Chrissy would buy whatever drug she needed, realize it isn’t her thing and they didn’t need to interact anymore. It wasn’t because you were jealous, something you repeated in the mirror a hundred times the night before, but for a normal reason.
Chrissy had a boyfriend. Jason who despised your best friend, so it wouldn’t be good for Eddie too continue to deal with her. She was just acting out, and that would be it. That’s all, right? No more ugly emotions.
“—and then he got mad because someone mentioned Chrissy.” Lucas explains during lunch as you kept glancing towards the double doors for Eddie’s late presence. “He cancelled practice for this week. It was stupid.”
“Didn’t you hear? .” Dustin chimes in with a mouth full of pudding. You would have scolded him for it if it weren’t for his next words, “He got dumped.”
“What?” You tore your gaze away from the doors, “Chrissy and Jason broke up?”
“Yeah. Apparently she asked for a break.”
“And how do you know this Dustin?” Luke leans forward from the end of the table to stare at his best friend.
“I know everything.” He smiles sweetly raising his eyebrows which forces Mike to snort with a small yeah sure which he takes offense to. “At least it was face to face, unlike El’s break up letter.”
“Why would mention that dude ?” Mike hurt voice drowns out while you stare at Eddie’s empty seat.
That sinking feeling in your stomach was back.
Eddie had arrived eventually, a hand grasped onto Gareth’s shoulder who seemed a bit tense to whatever Eddie was chatting away about. He looked really happy , a bump on his step as he made way towards the table and plopped down on his seat next to you. His smile so big that deep down you had a feeling that Chrissy had to do with it.
Of course. Who are you to completely stop that? She was single and just a few minutes during a deal had made Eddie head over heels for her.
One of your mozzarella sticks disappeared off your tray before he places his elbows on the table and tears it in half. “Hey, do you think Steve is working today ?”
You pushed away your thoughts once more. Eying the cheesy string between the two pieces before shrugging. “Uh no? I think Robin mentioned closing alone tonight. Something about Steve calling out for a date.”
“Ah, King Steve in action once again,” he rolls his eyes before popping one piece in his mouth, “Still good for me, I was going to stop by and didn’t want him to be on my ass for late fees.”
“Eddie you really need to stop losing the dvds,” you scold, grabbing your juice and handing it to him once you notice him eying it. “At this point we’ll be banned.”
“Hey, we both can’t get banned-“
“I also have late fees because of you begging Robin to use it under my name the last time.”
“It’s not my fault she’s so easy to convince ” He grins, “anyway, that’s good to hear, I was hoping to see her to rent a couple movies after school.”
“For what?” You ask, looking down at your tray. “Planning for a movie night?”
“Mhmm,” he hums happily, looking at you expectedly. “For a special girl.”
God, you felt pathetic for the way your smile was wiped off your lips. Your eyes stayed glued to your tray, your right hand coming up to scratch your neck in an attempt to hide your expression. “Oh cool…”
He was planning a movie date. Was it for Chrissy? It had to be, why else would he say it like that. The lunch food was beginning to disagree with your stomach. You pushed the tray away softly before looking up at him once you fought off a frown.
There was a frown tugging on his lips though, watching you carefully. He seemed, hesitant to say anything at first which made you feel worse. Is it really noticeable how uncomfortable you were ? You were ruining the good mood he was in.
“You okay?” He finally asks softly. One of hands reaching out under to table and brushing against yours. You force a smile once more, nodding before making show of holding your stomach.
“Sorry, I have a really bad stomach ache.” you laugh pathetically, “I think I need to go straight home after school” Instead of accompanying you to picking out whatever movie you have planned for Chrissy.
Eddie seems dejected but he nods. “Do you want me to take you to the nurse? I can carry you bridal style.” He attempts to joke but you only shake your head.
“No it’s fine.” The bell rings and you stand up a bit too fast for someone who was complaining about a stomach ache, “I’ll just get though it.”
You barely give him time to respond as you grab your tray ,”I’ll see you after class.”
He drove you straight home after school, the van mostly quiet for most of the ride as you allow yourself to go over your thoughts once again. Eddie tapped his fingers on the steering wheel, glancing over you every so often before finally deciding to reach into his compartment and take out a cassette tape.
A few seconds later, your favorite band was playing through his speakers and you smiled. Eddie’s singing voice bringing you out of your funk for a few minutes as he sung along to the chorus, head banging despite it not matching the beat. Your laugh filling the van along with the music when he accidentally swerves the van after he looked away a little too long to sing to you.
For now, you’ll let yourself forget about whatever Eddie and Chrissy had going on.
-
It didn’t last long. Because as a week went by and Eddie began missing some lunches, and even a class period, you find out through Dustin that he caught Eddie meeting up with Chrissy.
Now it was clear they at least had a friendship going on. It really wasn’t your place to say anything.
Special girl. It rang in your head when you noticed Eddie keep glancing towards where she sat across the cafeteria. At first you ignored it, convincing yourself for a short time it was okay. But Eddie began to act different. Whenever you both would talk and joke, you would catch him glancing towards Chrissy. It hurt to see him so distracted while even with you, so you began to speak less and less.
Chrissy was special. Chrissy, the girl who everyone loved at Hawkins for her looks and skills in cheerleading. The blonde not only was really pretty and was the ideal image of what a perfect girl is, she also was really sweet. So you couldn’t even be mad at Eddie for his choice.
Anyone would want to date her and they would be considered lucky. So really, you should be happy for your best friend. Even if you felt annoyed from waiting after school, 20 minutes and most of the parking lot empty save the kids attending detention, and you see them both exit the building together.
They seem to be in deep discussion about something, before Chrissy placed her hand on his shoulder, saying something that had Eddie attention completely on her. You looked away from the sight, gripping onto your textbook on your lap.
A minute later he was standing next to you with an apologetic expression. “Shit, I’m really sorry bug. Ms. O’Donnell had me staying after to make up for being late to class.”
You smile tightly, because that’s all you been doing since this started, faking your smiles. “Right.” You get up from your seat on the bench and brush past him towards his van. He follows close behind, tugging on your backpack to signal to let him carry it but you ignore him, brushing his hand off and pulling it against your shoulder.
Eddie frowns at that and doesn’t unlock the door when you pull on the handle. “I said I was sorry y/n.” He whines, pouting and trying to wrap his arms around you but you pull away once again.
“Yeah I heard Eddie,” you sigh as you look at him, your annoyance growing at the confused look in his face. It pushed you to speak again before thinking clearly.
Word vomit. You had learned that phrase from Robin. “I guess you and Chrissy were both late huh?”
Eddie blinks taken back, looking towards where Chrissy had walked off to meet up with other cheerleaders. “Oh- that.” He clears his throat and rubs at his neck. “No, I bumped into her right after O’Donnell let me off.”
“Talked for a bit too?” Shut up. Why do you keep talking?! You screamed in your head.
“I just had something quick to ask her.” You looked at him raising an eyebrow, waiting and hoping that he would finally tell you what they had going on. But again, Eddie blushes, not looking at you and you realized he rather keep it from you then tell you. “It was stupid, like uh, about homework. ”
You felt done with the conversation, nodding and pulled on the handle again. “Cool, can you open the door now?”
“Come onnn y/n, don’t be like that-“
“Eddie you had me waiting in this heat“ you huff, crossing your arms and glaring at him. “I just want to go home and take off these sweaty clothes. Please.”
Eddie pauses and seems to think before suddenly dropping on his knees. You gasp and step back as he puts his hands together and shakes his head.
“I’m ashamed of myself. I am y/n. I failed you, something I can never forgive myself for.” He begins, shaking his head dramatically. You drop your bag and pull on his arm trying to make him stop.
“Eddie seriously!”
A few lingering students were staring. “Please. I’ll do anything for your forgiveness your highness. I’ll buy you some donuts, or even that horrible Tears for Fears album you dare call music.”
“You ass-“
“I’ll shave my head!” He whines dramatically, “just for you to look at me again.”
“Oh god” you laugh, unable to stop a real smile to appear and succeed in pulling him to his feet again. “Please don’t. I don’t think I’ll survive another buzz cut.”
Eddie smiles dusting off his knees and bending down to grab your bag, throwing over his shoulder. “So?”
“I forgive you,” you roll your eyes, watching him sigh relieved and hold his chest. He unlocks the door this time and lets you climb in.
“Cant even let me be mad for more than 5 minutes.” you mumbled when he throws both your belongings to the back and gets in. He starts the car, pointing at your seatbelt in warning, waiting to hear it click in place before driving out of the school’s parking lot. “Maybe I wanted to ignore you the whole car ride”
“I don’t think I could survive that” he teases, but there was truth in it. He looks towards you, his gaze softening. “You sure you’re not mad anymore?”
“Yeah, it’s fine Eddie.” Your smile was small as you look out the window. You really weren’t mad. His antics was enough for you to brush off your jealousy. Eddie was your best friend. You shouldn’t be acting this way anyway. You just needed time to get your feelings in check.
It doesn’t seem like Eddie is convinced because he sighs. You turn to look at him.
“Don’t do that.”
“Do what?”
“That” He waves his hand over you before looking at the road. “I don’t know. Off. You smile but it doesn’t even seem..” he struggles before snapping his fingers. “It’s not you.”
Shit. He’s noticing. You rub the side of your face and shake your head. “Really Eddie, it’s nothing.”
“Is it? You seemed off all week.” You flinch at that, wanting to sink into the seat. He really was noticing, will he eventually connect two and two together? What if he figures out your feelings that you hid for so long.
No you couldn’t let that happen.
“I haven’t been feeling my best Eds” You make sure to keep your voice steady, trying to be believable. “I guess, I just been stressed. With the way things are changing..”
That part was true.
“What do you mean?”
“With finals coming up, and graduation just two months away.” You play with the end of your hair ignoring his gaze. “I guess it finally just got to me. You know me and my anxiety.”
You smile pathetically and Eddie slumps back in his seat. “Why didn’t you talk to me about it before ?”
“You seemed..distracted..” That also was true. Really you were giving half truths so you didn’t feel too horrible for lying to him. “But really, I’ll get over it.”
Eddie reaches out and grabs your hand, shaking his head. “Distracted? What do you mean?”
“It’s nothing.” Eddie sighs but lets it pass.
“Don’t be hiding that shit from me anymore. Alright? You know I hate when you get into your head. Talk to me, okay?”
You nod, squeezing his hand back and play with his rings, pushing back your feelings. “Okay. Promise.”
The next few days were better. Sure, you saw him talking to Chrissy once between classes. But after Eddie had forced you to sleepover his trailer that day you half confessed in his van, and watched movies with you all night and made you hot chocolate, you felt safe to say it didn’t hurt that much.
You can accept it. You were still an important part in his life and he in yours. You shouldn’t be so selfish to wish for more. It was okay.
You were studying for your math quiz when your bedroom phone rang. You quickly scribbled down an answer before you forgot it, and reached over to the nightstand next to your bed.
“Hello?”
“Hey bug.”
You smile and lay back on your pillow, grabbing the base of the phone to place on the bed while you twirled the cord between your finger. “Don’t tell me you want me to give you the answers? Did you even try to solve one of the problems.”
“No I just..” he pauses. You mirror that by freezing with the cord around your finger. “Wanted to talk. Wanted to talk to you, you know?”
There wasn’t a blush on your cheeks at the gentleness in the way he said you. You change your position the bed to lay on your stomach, frowning. “Eddie? Is something wrong?”
He stays quiet. You can hear one of the records you gave him softly playing in the background.
“You know you can talk to me.” Please talk to me. Don’t push me aside. “Remember what you told me, last week, that we don’t hide anything.”
“Yeah, yeah you’re right.” He sighs and there’s some shuffling on his side. “This is just..really hard to say. It’s..different than what we usually talk about.”
Uneasiness swirls in your stomach. “What do you mean?” He doesn’t reply right away so you backtrack. “I mean that shouldn’t matter. We told each other so much already, I’m sure this isn’t much different Eds.”
“You won’t..freak, right? No matter what.”
Your throat tightens. That tightening feeling appears in your chest. You clear your throat in fear that your voice will break. “Y-yeah, I won’t. Try me.”
“Okay..” He coughs then sighs. “Okay. Okay, so..” he struggles before finally speaking. “There’s someone that I really like.”
You thought you were prepared. Part of you was relieved that after keeping it from you for so long, he finally confided in you. That should be good, right? Your worries that he didn’t have that trust in you evaporated, all that anxiety was proven wrong. Yet, the other part of you that you thought was going to fine and under control, broke.
“Oh wow,” you let out breathlessly, “You were scared to tell me that?” You push the back of your hand against one of your eyes once you feel the tears building. “Why are you worried about that.”
“Y/N- it’s, it’s just...” He whispers, “I been too stupid to realize my feelings and I’ve been wanting to ask her out for a few weeks now. But I can never figure out how she feels about me..”
His voice was shaky. “I’m terrified she won’t feel the same way if I tell her. Because y-“ he coughs, “she’s so amazing and perfect, and I guess I’m really scared you know? What if I’m not enough? I wouldn’t blame her for thinking so.”
Your heart hurts not only knowing he’s referencing to Chrissy but knowing that he didn’t feel good enough. How could he even think like that? Eddie was someone you looked up too. His ways of drawing attention towards him with his dramatic speeches and overall personality was admirable. So hearing him sound so small, dejected at the idea had you pushing your own hurt aside.
“Eddie. Anyone would be lucky to have you. This girl, god she would be so fucking lucky to have you as her boyfriend.” You stare at your ceiling, hand gripping the phone tightly. “You’re so much more than good enough. You’re sweet and funny, and, and I know she will be the happiest girl with you. Anyone would.”
I would. The voice whispers in the back of your head.
“You really think that?” Eddie asks, in awe. You nod forgetting he couldn’t see you. “Do you really believe that?”
“Of course, Eddie. You’re the most amazing person I know.” Eddie stays silent. You notice how fast your heart was beating.
“Thank you bug,” you swore you thought you heard a sniffle. “I..that made me feel better. You don’t understand how much.”
You both stay silent. You were waiting for him to drop that it was Chrissy. Go into more details about her but he continues to not talk. So you decide to rip the bandaid yourself.
“So, when are you asking the special girl?” You force your voice to sound excited, shutting your eyes tight. “I better not have gave that speech for nothing.”
“Actually, I was thinking about doing it tonight.” he trails off. You felt like you were going to vomit.
“Good! I-I hope it goes great, Ed. I’m rooting for you, and..I know she’ll say yes.” Your hands began to shake. It felt harder to breath. You thought you were able to handle it but no, you feel yourself falling apart.
You needed to end the call before he hears you break down.
“Y/N..I wanted- I was going to ask you-“ You cut him off once you feel a single tear slip down the corner of your face. A few more tears follow as you shake your head.
“Eddie I-I’m sorry I need to go.” You slam the phone shut and pull your pillow over your face. Hoping it’s enough to pause your tears but it didn’t. A sob is muffled by it instead.
You weren’t going to be okay after all.
You spend the rest of the night staring blankly at your homework before deciding you were not accomplishing anything but staining the sheet with a few escaped tears. You turned off all the lights and tried to sleep, trying to come up with an excuse as to why you hung up. You didn’t think clearly.
You could say you felt sick again and had to throw up, or that your heart was ripped out of your chest and you felt like you were dying.
The former was better. At least it was believable and didn’t need anymore questions.
You left the following morning earlier than usual. Deciding to take the bus that you seen Max always hop on. Eddie had tried giving her a ride before but she only quietly rejected it and often left earlier than you both did.
You sat next to her on the bus, headphones blaring Kate Bush voice. She glanced at you, raising an eyebrow.
“You look like shit.” Her headphones were pushed down to wrap around her neck.
“Thanks.” You reply, crossing your arms over your stomach and turning your head towards her smiling softly. “And you look amazing like always Max.”
She shrugs, turning her nose away as she glanced out the window towards the trailer park that was disappearing from sight. “Did you and Eddie fight?”
“No.” You feel sick again at the mention of his name. “I wanted to go early and didn’t want to wake him up. He’s grumpy when I do.”
“Righht..” she turns towards you again. “Eddie definitely is anything but grumpy with you.” She makes a disgusted expression before pulling her headphones back on top of her head. The volume increasing this time.
Well damn. You were hoping the younger girl would make more of a conversations with you. Maybe you should try a little harder with her the way you had with the other freshman, but push that for another day. You allow to swallow in self pity the rest of the bus ride.
The rest of the morning was a blur. Eddie had looked for you when he arrived a few minutes before school started, nearly disrupting your first class when he pushed the door open a second before the bell rung. Eyes set on where you sat in the back but was quickly yelled at by your math teacher.
“Eddie Munson! This is not where you’re suppose to be-“
“I need to see y/n,-“
“You can see her later. Out! Now!”
You hid your face behind your notebook, guilt eating at you as you could feel him staring at you before he was escorted out.
Your plan was to avoid him that morning, needing just a little bit more time. Then prepare to see him at lunch and hear all about what occurred with his confession the night before. You were going to sit there, at the lunch table, apologize for hanging up and ditching that morning, then make it up by listening to him talk about how Chrissy accepted his confession. And you will smile through it all, and support him.
You could do that.
But when you walked out your history class for lunch, and Eddie was waiting right across the hallway, your mind blanked.
“Seriously. What the fuck y/n.” He began, pushing himself away from where he was leaning against the locker. You began to walk down the hallway. “Jesus Christ! Really? Where are you going?”
“Eddie I have to meet up..” you think quickly, “with Nancy! Yeah, Nancy wants my opinion on some shots she took of the basketball game.”
“Nancy Wheeler? Mikes sister?” He questions, walking beside you and matching your fast pace. “Since when were you two friends?”
“She’s friends with Robin. So that makes us acquaintances” you reply, staring ahead.
He throws his hands up in the air and scoffs. “Okay. Okay fine. Are you just not going to tell me why you hung up on me yesterday? And ignored my calls after?” He grabs your arm and stops your walking. “Or even why I went to your trailer for your mom to tell me you had left early to school? What’s up with that?”
“Had to talk to my teacher about my final grades, and I knew coming early was the best option.” It was such a shitty and not well thought out lie. “Didn’t want to wake you up, especially after last night.”
Eddie’s grip loosens and his expression falters. The anger flowing into something you couldn’t recognize. He pulls away and stuffs his hands into his leather jacket. “Last night..” he sounds sad, “are..are you even going to ask about that?”
“About what?” You don’t look at him. You weren’t ready yet.
“About what we talked about.” Eddie says desperately. “Come on y/n. I told you it was something I was afraid to talk about, and you go hang up on before I could even..” he stops and rubs his face.
“I wasn’t feeling well. Ha , it’s weird. It just hit me, I thought I was going to throw up-“
“Bullshit.” He hisses, pointing his finger at you. “That’s such bullshit.” You step back surprised by his outburst. He looked outright angry.
“Eddie-“
“You keep saying all these lies. I’m not an idiot. And then you go and ignore me all morning. What the fuck did I do? Did I..did I do something?” He asks.
“No Eddie, you didn’t.”
“Then why are you acting like this right now? Christ, I don’t understand !” He yells, throwing his hand out.
“Let’s talk about it later, yeah?” You stammer, feeling overwhelmed.It wasn’t suppose to go this way. You had it all planned out and now it’s getting out of control.
“Why later? Why not now?”
“I just don’t want to right now, okay?” You pull away, seeing your escape and make way to the bathroom. Eddie following close behind. “I’m still not feeling well. So, just..we can talk about it after school.”
“I don’t fucking get this. Why are you acting like this.?”
You push yourself into the bathroom. Slamming the door shut before he could even think to follow you in. “Eddie please ! I’ll meet you in the cafeteria, okay?”
“I thought you were meeting with Nancy.” He states from the other side of the door. “See I knew you were fucking lying.”
You don’t say anything else. Back pressed against the door as you wait.
“Y/N please..” you hear him beg quietly, “I really can’t handle this from you. Not right now. Especially after last night..”
You frown at this. What does he mean by that?
“I need you.” His voice was small. You wanted to open the door and slam against his chest, hugging him the way you always do when you both were suffering from bad thoughts.
But this was so much different. All your ugly insecurities and jealousy powers through any rationality right now.
So you say nothing. Despite the confusion at his statement. You hear Eddie sharp intake of a breathe once he realizes this before you hear his knuckles tap on the wall, a quiet “fuck this”, then his footsteps receding.
You stayed in the bathroom all lunch. Pathetically allowing your thoughts to overflow and beating yourself up for not being able to act normal. Your mind was reeling, not allowing you to focus on your other classes.
School ended and you walked out to see that Eddie’s van was gone. You didn’t even know if he had stayed in school after he walked away from the bathroom.
You sat next to Max again. She didn’t say anything at first, until the bus was halfway to your destination. It seemed like your own silent treatment had annoyed her enough to rip the headphones from her ears.
“I can literally feel your sadness rub off on me and it’s annoying.” She narrows her eyes at you. You sigh and tilt your head at her.
“That’s not even possible.” You mumble, not hiding the sadness in your voice. She takes note of this and finally resigns.
“Okay. Just tell me what’s going on with you and Eddie.”
“Nothings going on.”
“Dustin was complaining to me about how he hadn’t made it to lunch despite needing to go over the last campaign. And you’re here, unfortunately . So..” she shakes her head, “it’s pretty clear.”
You groan and slam your head back onto the bus seat. “Okay fine. I’ve just..” you pause and play with your fingers. “He and Chrissy has a thing..”
“Chrissy Cunningham??”
“Yeah I know.” You laugh, “these past few weeks, they been hanging and he has been acting weird. And..I guess he likes her.”
“Oh okay. This makes so much more sense.” She states, sitting up. “You’re jealous.”
“Yeah.” You finally admit. “Really jealous. But I can’t do anything. Because who am I to do so? We’re best friends and I’m acting like a fucking jerk.”
“He asked Chrissy out yesterday,” you continue, “he called me before hand and was telling me about his feelings for her and how he planned to tell her. And I..freaked out and hung up. Then avoided him today. And I know he’s mad but I just can’t face it Max. I don’t want to hear about their relationship because it hurts. So much.”
Max usual nonchalant front faded into a concerned expression. She listened to you.
“He said he needed me and god, he wouldn’t do this to me if I were crushing on some other person. He would be happy and would be excited to hear me talk about it because he doesn’t like me the way I like him..I really am a horrible friend. Aren’t I?”
You felt pathetically for ranting to a 15 year old but when Max simply shook her head and said, “No. it’s okay to feel hurt by this.” You felt a bit relieved before she continued. “But maybe you should talk to him about it. I don’t know, you’ll get used to it. Don’t break a friendship over it, he’ll understand.”
“I don’t think I can tell him though..”
“Then don’t, idiot. But you can’t ignore him forever. I’m sure he’s really confused by all of it and doesn’t know what to do. He’s stupid that way.”
You snort.
“And it probably is hurting him. I can see the way he cares about you.” She says honestly, furrowing her eyebrows like a thought crossed her mind but she doesn’t mention it.
You nod, feeling a bit embarrassed but better. She was right. It’ll take time to get over this hurt but you can’t allow for it to ruin what you and Eddie had. Eddie’s reaction was clear enough for you to see you were being selfish.
It didn’t matter if it hurt. You couldn’t allow it to overshadow what you and Eddie already build.
“Thanks Max.”
“Whatever.”
You walked her to her trailer once the bus driver drops you both off, hugging her and enjoying the way she smiled shyly before she pushed you away and ran in her trailer.
Eddie’s van was parked in front of his trailer. So you had no other option but to take your time walking across the dirt trail and step up to the door.
I need you.
You knock on the door, the small pattern that only you and Eddie knew coming as second nature, and waited.
The door opened and Wayne appeared.
“Oh hey kid.” He says, glancing inside the trailer for a moment before looking back at you. “I’m guessing you and Eddie fought?”
“Was it that obvious?” You grimace, tugging on the sleeve of your sweater.
“Just a little. No other person can get Eddie to be slamming that door shut and blasting his music like you.” He says with humor, stepping back and opening the door wider for you to enter. You ignore the small comment and follow him inside. “But I’m glad you’re here. I really need to get some sleep so if you could..”
You nod quickly, giving a small apology before walking towards his room. The vibration of the heavy guitar solo could be felt in the hallway. The beat thrashing against your eardrums when you push the door open.
Eddie was sitting up with his back pressed against the metal bars that made up the headboard of his bed. Guitar in hand as his fingers moved effortlessly against the strings. Eyes shut as he had his head tilted towards the ceiling. You wait to see if he’ll notice that the door opened but he continued playing.
You build up the courage to speak. “Eddie.”
You didn’t think he would be able to hear you but the song came to a stop, eyes snapping open as he turns his head over to you.
“Y/N?” He puts the guitar down. “What are you doing here?”
“I wanted to talk to you. And your uncle let me in.” You explain, moving towards his bed and sitting on the edge. “He probably would have left me out there if it wasn’t for him wanting to get some sleep.”
“You know he would let you in no matter what.”
“I know.”
He watches you, fingers twirling one of the rings in circles in his other hand. Sadness evident in his eyes, uncertainty mixed with it as he switched his gaze from between your eyes. Waiting.
“Look Eddie, I’m really sorry”
“You been saying that.” He replies.
“No but..” you stand up and rub your hands against your thighs. “I’ve been such an ass.” You hold your finger up before he could say anything, “and I’ve been acting like a shitty friend. And I know you’re confused and have asked me to be honest, but..”
You look at some of his posters. “I am honest about my anxiety being part of the problem. I’ve been struggling right now, dealing with feelings I don’t want to.” You swallow, pushing on. “And I guess I’m just afraid. Of stupid stuff that doesn’t matter and shouldn’t have. And I took it out on you and that’s not right.”
“So, it wasn’t because of me? I thought I was doing something wrong this whole time.” Eddie watches you pace back and forth.
Yes.
“No.” You bite your lip and hug yourself.
“Then what was it?” He frowns, “I mean. Why didn’t you just come to me? You promised. I told you to talk to me about it all.”
“I know Eddie. I know. Really. It was just all me and my overthinking. And I’m really really sorry and-“
“Bug, I understand.”
“No , I’ve been horrible!” You frown and plop down on the bed beside him, covering your face. “I’m really truly sorry. I promise you I’ll stop being ..how I am.”
“I like the way you are. Christ y/n.” He pushes your hands away from your face and forces you to sit up, grabbing your shoulders. “I wasn’t mad at you because of that, I was just mad that you been pushing me away. I was mad not knowing whether I..I was the reason.”
“It wasn’t you Eddie. I promise.”
He nods, shoulder sagging from relief before he grins. “You know, it’s weird not having you ranting into my ear 24/7 about what’s bothering you. I hate when you get all quiet.”
You watch him, pouting and he pushes at your cheek. His hand cupping your cheek and you ignore the warmth is spreads across your chest. “I’m sorry for screaming at you earlier and not being there after school. That was not cool.”
“No, I deserved it.” You glance down and play with the chain attached to his pants. “I wasn’t listening to you about last night.”
Eddie tenses. “We don’t have to talk about that.”
“No we can!” You’re able to ignore the heavy feeling in your chest. The pit in your stomach wasn’t that big either. It felt somewhat okay. “What else were you going tell me? How did it go?”
“Nothing happened. I never got to ask.” He wasn’t looking at you.
You falter, confused. “What? I thought..”
Eddie clears his throat and stands up, grabbing his guitar and hanging it up in its place in front of his mirror. “Yeah, I totally chickened out. It doesn’t matter now.”
“It..it doesn’t?” You asked, feeling even more stupid now. No wonder he was so angry at you for ignoring him. He needed more support, encouragement and you weren’t there to give it. “Shit, Eddie. I really am sorry for hanging up.”
“It’s fine, really.“ He taps his fingers on his chin, still not looking at you. “Besides..I have a better idea.”
“Uh..” you begs to ask before Eddie suddenly bends down and grabs your waist and throws you over your shoulder as you scream in surprise. “-the fuck!”
“We are going to celebrate us surviving our first real fight!” He grins, conversation forgotten as he attempts to grab his denim vest and wallet with out dropping you. Your wiggling makes it hard but he manages to do it.
“And how are we going to that?” You giggle, relieved at the familiarly of your dynamic with Eddie. It was feeling okay again.
“We are going to get a milkshake.” He smiles and proceeds to carry you out of his room on his shoulder. A small bang echoing from your head hitting the door frame and your groan following it. “..And painkillers.”
