Hello, darling, good afternoon! I would like to ask you where the guards have a mate who through her gift could see their past, even when they were human. Do you think they would be interested in some special memory? From already thank you very much.

𝖁𝖔𝖑𝖙𝖚𝖗𝖎 𝖌𝖚𝖆𝖗𝖉 (𝖙𝖜𝖎����𝖘 𝖔𝖓𝖑𝖞)

This is gonna be angsty because it sounds horrific really... let me explain why

Jane

Case and point: horrifically bad

she is an extremely private person and her past is one of those things nobody apart from Alec knows anything about

and the fact you know about everything makes her resent you a little

not only was her past experiences, especially as a human, painful and traumatic but also her vampire life hides so many insecurities and weaknesses

and you know all of them

she doesn't blame you, it's a gift and it's not like you chose it

but you did choose to look into her private life and she isn't comfortable with that so whilst she knows you haven't chosen it... you kind of have

she is completely uninterested in any special memories because with all of them only comes a new whole world of hurt that she'll have to add to the pile inside her decaying heart

Alec

Horrible, but slightly less so than Jane

yes, the twins are reserved and keep there private life, well... private

but for Alec this is significantly less the case compared to Jane

he may feel some slight relief even that he hasn't got to re live those experiences to communicate about it

you just know.. you just know

you get him in a way nobody else can and its magnificent to him

but it also come with its downsides

one wrong word or misplaced question about some of his past experiences and he may lash out at you

there is a lot of bottled up anger and resentment even today for his past and he's simply misdirected it to you

he also knows he's misdirecting is but can't close the floodgates once they inevitably open

so yeah... you get him better than anyone else has before but it also means you are subject to quite a lot of undeserved backlash

he always feels awful after it too so it just becomes a toxic cycle of ups and downs but the downs are catastrophic

Hi! Been a long time fan. 💕

Hope you & the baby are doing well!

May I possibly bother you of getting something with my favorite birb Setsuno finding out he’s having a baby? 🥺

(Baby should be doing just fine! Made exactly 11 weeks today! For about 4 days uninterrupted I've been fighting the most gnarly morning sickness ever. Everything I eat and drink makes me sick. I'm sick from not eating and sick from eating. The only that works is chewing peppermint gum. Anyway, let me get off my ramble and churn out some good old Setsuno content. It's been a while since I've been able to do so!)

(Also again this one is pretty specific so I apologize if some readers can't insert into it! I'm open to writing a Setsuno and his partner adopting alternative later upon request!)

~Setsuno Becoming a Dad~

headcanon|scenario|imagine|match-up

-The overflow of emotions he feels in that very moment of you showing him the two pink lines on that stick just overwhelm him all at once. He at a loss for words. He doesn't even care that you just peed on it either. He grabs it gently and doesn't say a word as tears begin streaming down his face. When he finally gathers himself enough to speak to you, he just barely utters out an 'I'm going to be a father?' before looking at your watery eyes for confirmation. As you shake your head he immediately smiles widely and repeats himself much louder this time. That question no longer a question but now an exclamation so loud the neighbors hear it. "I'm going to be a father!!!"

-He literally calls out of work the next day much to Overhaul's dismay. He just wants to spend the whole day with you planning things. I mean sure you've talked about kids in the past and planned some stuff here and there but never on this scale. It's totally different now that its real! He spends the day asking whether or not you want to reveal it now and if not then how will you two do it later on? Of courser a few small people like his parents and your parent need to know early. Maybe your boss possibly so you can plan out parent leave as well? It just depends on how you want to go about things. Don't even get him started on the registry and the baby shower! He's big on planning everything out so don't be afraid to tell him if he's being a little bit hectic on you with everything at the moment. Everyone needs a break here and there.

-Oh you two finally get to take a day out to go baby clothes shopping early. You insist on getting a few gender neutral items since it's still too early to know the baby just yet but Toya swears in his heart it's gonna be a little girl. He gravitates toward small dresses and overalls with matching sun hats. "Look! She'll be so cute when the summer rolls around in this! We can take her to the beach and collect seashells!!!" Way too excited for the surrounding parents who need to back away from the crazy shouting man lol

-His favorite part so far has been staying up late with you in bed and going off your list of baby names together. Although he feels in his heart this will be a girl, he has a much fuller list of baby boy names than traditional girl names. His argument is that some of them can be interchanged.

-Has already put a 'baby on board' sticker on the car and the kid isn't even born yet. "You have to do it so the EMT can know there's a baby in case of an accident to tend to first. What if we forget about the sticker and really need it one day?"

-Has never lapsed in taking care of you, not one day. He even changed his shifts at the hassaikai and worked overtime just so he can be home at the right times to help take care of you. That means for you he's bringing all your craving foods and rubbing your belly all night if he needs to. Morning sickness if no match for him. He's at your feet with medication, ginger ale, and chewing gum. Whatever helps you, he's getting his hands on it. The only downside to his intense care is that you have to go to the doctor a lot more than most people. Any slight cramp or off putting feeling has him going into a frenzy over you to make sure the baby and you are okay. You'll certainly need to put your foot down here or the two of you will be spending more time at the doctor's office than at home.

-Don't even get me started on when your water breaks. The delivery is a whole other story!

@burr-ell replied to your post “Thanks to the person who tipped me off that the...”:

my question is. who has been calling imogen "weepy". like do people not know that the people engaging in misogynistic criticisms of imogen and the people talking about how her flaws impact the narrative in an interesting way are NOT the same, generally

​In all seriousness it is like, one person, and the thing is - "weepy" is perhaps harsher than I'd go but she does cry a lot! It's fine to observe that! Laura has fucking observed it! Semi-in-character (3x43) no less.

But yeah, of the three people (myself included) who received that ask...none of us have been particularly focusing on that; we've instead been, as you said, talking about how Imogen's flaws are interesting to watch and might have consequences (ie, conflict, ie, the thing that makes CR a story and not just chill Dice Rolls To Relax/Study To). But she does have a weird version of what she considers hypocrisy that leads to her saying some pretty hurtful things to other people. The fact that she'll do almost anything to stop the downsides of her powers, and that her mother - who she's known was alive for less time than she's known the party, incidentally - is involved both absolutely complicate the situation and give her conflicting loyalties! That's how story works! Smooth sailing is the goal in life, but not narrative, and it's also like. Without going into a whole other thing here, I am very tired of like...wanting to see traumatized or mentally ill characters but only if they are perfect saints and not actually affected by those conditions in any way that isn't easily palatable.

Hi there! <3 Firstly, everything you make is amazing. You've inspired me! I'm fairly new to AMM and I'm sure you've already answered this question 1000 times, but I'm asking it anyway. I feel like I have the basics under-wraps, but I'm a little lost on how to use my V. I can give her actions, but when I switch to photo mode, she seems stuck and I can't move her and she snaps back to the default post. I'm wondering if you could explain to me a little bit on how to use V?

Hey there! 💙 Thank you very much--I really appreciate it!

So if I'm understanding correctly, it sounds like you're using the spawned V option to pose, e.g. going to the Spawn tab, selecting V from the menu, and then applying a pose from the Pose tab? If that's the case, what you're describing is unfortunately just how AMM handles its built-in posing right now. Anytime you move or unfreeze a posed character (if they were posed using the options in the Pose tab), in photomode or in the game, the pose breaks.

The folks behind AMM are aware of this happening and that it doesn't work well for a lot of people, but last I checked, it sounds like it's going to be a tricky thing to fix. (I guess the pose resetting itself when a character moves actually prevents game-breaking issues.)

So, for now, you pretty much have to place a character where you want them first, then pose (and freeze, if necessary) them. If you need to make any adjustments, you gotta take it all from the top. I'm still personally trying to find my workflow with the new method because this aspect of it is a little tricky and tedious, which is why I haven't updated my guide just yet. 😅

If you don't feel like dealing with that much trial and error, there are two other options for posing V:

If you want to keep using spawned V, choose a pose anim .archive file for her (there are some here). This will make her spawn with that animation, replacing the default standing animation, and it won't break every time you need to move her. You can also still use this in conjunction with the built-in AMM poses. The only downside to this method is you can only use one .archive file at a time.

You can just use photomode V. She'll still snap back to her origin point if you change a pose after you've moved her, but you'll have a lot more control over posing her. And I personally don't use it, but Photomode Unlocker can give you a ton of new poses if you're feeling limited by the default options and pose packs that override those.

I feel like some of this might be easier to describe in action, so here's a quick video (no talking, just text) that shows the 3 different methods you can use to pose V:

[incurable-bookkl3pt0]

AHHHH!!!!!! YESSSS!!!!!!!!!

Branch and Viva deserve that bonding time, and you can take that headcanon from my cold dead hands.

Nah but fr. Just Branch and Viva being siblings, to the point where they get along better with each other than their ACTUAL siblings gives me life. Yes, Viva and Poppy are so similar personality-wise, but having a similar personality only works well if the people also have similar interests. If they don't... well... problems tend to arise.

See, Poppy is a very large presence, and she's a troll who loves to take care of others and make them happy. She also has a tendency of getting things her way, and not being someone who easily compromises with others, as is seen in TWT and implied with all of those invitations in Trolls 1. Sure, she can be empathetic towards others, but oftentimes develops a tunnel-vision of sorts, and definitely never considers a downside, ever. Viva on the other hand, is also a very large presence, who also seems to like to take care of others, and also seems like the type of troll that people listen to her every word, hence always getting her way. (With her, it was most likely out of desperation and some sense of normalcy and control that the other Putt-Putt Trolls looked up to her, whereas Poppy gets what she wants probably because of her princess status, and aside from Branch, probably was never really told no in her life.) Viva does seem to compromise better than Poppy does, but that just might be from different life experiences, but also in the movie, it took a bit for Viva to relent. Unlike Poppy, however, Viva doesn't seem to get tunnel vision. She sadly doesn't get much screen time, but from what I can see, while she is an optimist, she leans more towards realism. She knows things aren't all cupcakes and rainbows, and while she does act upbeat, unlike Poppy, she understands that there are dangers out there. Even though Poppy does briefly go grey, and comes to some understanding that life isn't all fun and games, she still somewhat holds onto that mentality; especially since at the end of Trolls 1, she inadvertently gets proven right, and that with an upbeat attitude, you can turn even the deepest of frowns upside down. Or something. (IDK, the end of the first movie was pretty good, but just felt like Poppy didn't learn much, especially with her attitude in the first Holiday Special, and TWT IMO.) Clay canonically says that Viva has her issues, which I have taken the liberty to confirm that Viva has paranoia. Essentially, Viva is Branch but with Poppy's personality.

This is why I firmly believe that Branch and Viva would get along better than Poppy and Viva would.

(JD and Viva would also bond as the oldest siblings in their respective families who both once thought their entire families were dead for a while, but this isn't about them right now.)

Getting back to their hangouts, I firmly believe that if (most likely when tbh) Viva moves to Pop Village (Trollstopia?) she would like (and build with Branch ofc) a bunker of her own. Or ask Branch for Bruce's room in his bunker (because really, is he even going to use it? Be fr) because you can't tell me she'd be okay with a regular pod. From what we saw of her room, she has supplies at the ready (even though the supplies in question seem to be candy), and it seems to be deep within the golf course, and probably fortified as a result. And she will definitely take up or have similar interests as Branch's when it comes to foraging/inventory/maintenance. I won't get too into detail since I want to better cover this in the post you made about BroZone and Branch's interests, but the main gist of it is Viva (and JD, but again, this ain't about him rn) would definitely love it. And maybe she'll add more color and whimsy in the bunker because, c'mon. This would be the bicker-y parts of Branch's and Viva's relationship with each other; arguing on the merits of decor, and what priorities certain supplies get.

This, in turn, really makes it seem like they're pushing their actual siblings on the wayside, but the thing is, they are completely unaware that they're doing it. The both of them are just happy and relieved that finally, there's a Troll that Gets It (with the exception of maybe JD, but once again, this ain't about him rn) and won't judge them for their (justified) paranoia. And because their own siblings don't get it, they have turned to each other, whether their siblings like it or not.

Yes, you could argue Clay has paranoia too, but idk, his whole demeanor in TBT feels like the whole situation didn't affect him as heavily as it did Viva. After all, she put her heart and soul into the Putt-Putt Troll community, he only added the fire exits. (I know he most likely contributed to much more, but what I got from that statement was essentially him doing the paperwork while she was running around and making the decisions with his support. Which, we stan a Queen.) Plus, the guy was really okay with living in a rickety old, probably underdefended building, for the sake of proving a point to trolls who a.) wouldn't care and would probably just think he got last pick in housing, and b.) weren't even around to notice said pathetic lodgings. So no, I don't think he has the same issues Viva has. Plus, her constant jumping around/fidgeting could have some anxious tones to it, and we all know Branch definitely has anxiety.

Speaking of their siblings, they are definitely jealous. JD probably being the only one who accepts it gracefully, since, yeah, he knows he won't be that close to Branch ever (he ironically becomes the brother that he gets along with best, but that's a story for another day) and is just happy that Branch is happy, and (let's not forget) alive. The rest? Yeah, they're the ones that get upset and voice their grievances, only for Branch to just not understand why they're mad, and bluntly answer them in a tone that makes him SOUND mad and sarcastic, but really, he's just confused and honestly answering them. Baby still has a long way to go with tone. Poppy on the other hand? Yeah, this is the (first) conflict that she and her sister get in. Because the both of them have similar personalities, they both feel like the other is being unreasonable, and that the other is making a big deal out of nothing. Poppy thinks that Viva is being overdramatic (as she often does with Branch but she indulges him for the most part) with her issues and her bonding with Branch (did Poppy briefly think back to the Branch/Creek incident and briefly entertain the idea that she did something to make them mad and this was their payback? maybe? idk?) and Viva thinks Poppy is being weird about her and Branch (did Viva briefly think that her sister thought she was poaching her bf? maybe? idk?) getting along. They both get into arguments about it a lot, and Branch has no clue about it. (If he did, he'd feel SO BAD about it, and would probably try to distance himself from Viva, making them both miserable, and Poppy has to fix this problem that she created. It would be like TBGO Branch having to fix problems, but with Poppy instead.) They probably eventually come to some understanding, but there were some MASSIVE truths and confessions made along the way, and Poppy FINALLY getting the emotional maturity that her character has been lacking. Anyways, the issue gets resolved when Branch offhandedly makes a comment that Poppy and BroZone get along better than Branch does with BroZone, so he doesn't get why they're mad when they have each other. He even jokingly adds that he did say Poppy could have his brothers and that Poppy agreed, so to make things fair, he should get Poppy's sister (poor bb has a bad track with bros, he deserves a sis). That makes Poppy feel better (she IS the one who said that bros have the strongest bond, let her test that out), but not BroZone (minus JD because he feels as though, yeah, that's fair, harsh but fair). But before they can make their grievances known (again) Poppy has already whisked them away for bonding.

In the process of the sibling exchange, Viva gets to see Poppy as Branch sees her, and BroZone sees Branch as Poppy sees him, and that eventually leads to Poppy and Viva, and Branch and BroZone reconciling and forging a bond. But of course, Branch's and Viva's bond will always be special.

(It would be funny if at the end, at the Broppy wedding, Viva is Branch's Best Troll, and Clay is Poppy's Troll Of Honor. JD walks them both down the aisle ofc, and Floyd and Sp/Bruce are the Flower Trolls or Brides Trolls or something. Kismet is also participating, idk where but they're there. Probably Grooms Trolls or also Flower Trolls. Brandy officiates, obviously. For the non-royal casual wedding. Yes, they have 2. A casual one, where they celebrate their love and is technically just them 'eloping'. And a formal one that also doubles a coronation or whatever.)

another thing I think it'd be nice to see in the future is more Branch and Viva Bonding given everything they have in common.

TBT obviously had that one scene where Branch tried to relate over their shared fears which devolved into a Joke about Pants which I don't think makes any sense given Trolls culture of being cool with full on public nudity.

and actually it literally only just occurred to me but were JD Bruce and Clay not actually the least bit curious what Branch was talking about?

at that point they didn't know about when their Grandma died and Branch just suddenly starts talking about being a recluse for years on end and they didn't have any questions?

instead all they cared about was the "" Awkward "" implication that he didn't wear pants in his home for years the Brothers really do seem like very incurious people tbh.

but anyway Random Rant aside it'd be nice to see more Branch and Viva Bonding in the future I sorta do like to think maybe they'd even have so much to relate over.

that Poppy might get a tad Jealous and feel left out given her different experiences.

like I can easily see Branch and Viva light heartedly bonding over some of the crazy ways they prepared for Bergen attacks and maybe just remembering what life was like in the Tree prior to the escape.

plus her maybe still feeling uncomfortable around the Bergens like Bridget and Gristle which I'm sure Branch would understand and try to help her through.

since they both spent years living in fear of their species so I imagine it didn't just go away overnight even after finding out they made peace with them.

and Branch would maybe admit he felt the same for a short while even after the peace was made.

Heck they can even Bond over being separated from their families for many years and somewhat feeling like the ode ones out in said families.

due to Viva being apart from Poppy and Peppy for so long and Branch being so young that there's a whole lifetime of experiences the Brothers shared with each other before he was even Born.

and due to being so young when they left that he doesn't have as much of an established past with them as they do with each other making it harder to Bond in present day.

yeah there's a lot these two characters could Relate over it'd be interesting to see.

Y/N POV

Iris:

I'm finally gonna make good on my bet.

Meet me here.

-Address Link-

I stared at the text for a moment, then my mouth dropped. Holy shit. The bet! She's actually gonna ask out Miruko out Hallmark style! I quickly sat up. Katsuki left a while ago to go to work and I was sitting around scrolling through social media since I didn't have anything pressing to do for today. I got dressed and headed to the park address she sent. Once I arrived, Iris was standing there nervously, tapping her foot and walking around. I lightly poked her on the shoulder and she jumped.

"So you're really doing it!" I snickered.

She glared at me. "A bet's a bet."

I looked around the park not seeing anything special that would bring her here. I mean this was never meant to happen around an active crime scene but still. Does Miruko visit this park often?

"So how do you know she'll be here?"

"I just know." She said evasively. "Anyway, skedaddle."

I pouted at her then gave her a thumbs up as I searched for a place to hide.

"Fine Fine! Break a leg!" I laughed as I situated myself a ways away behind a tree.

A few minutes later, Miruko landed in her hero uniform. She seemed breathless.

"I got your text. Is something wrong?" She asked, walking up and inspecting Iris.

Okay they seem...close?

"No, nothing wrong. But first I gotta explain something." She said nervously, shifting from foot to foot. "About me."

"What do you mean?" Miruko asked, stepping back a bit

"My friend and I made a bet and-"

"You...made a bet about me." She said, her eyes narrowing.

Her ears flopped down as she stepped back. Iris stiffened and took a step toward her but Miruko maintained the distance.

"Just. Please let me explain. We went to an arcade and I lost and she...she bet me to ask you out. In a cheesy way."

"So you only hung out with me...because of a bet?"

Iris' body went rigid. She violently shook her head.

"Miruko that's not."

"Of course not, it's always-" She cut herself off, her posture getting angrier. "I told you about my past dating experiences and you! This whole time!"

Oh shit. Should I try to clear this up?

"It's not that! Wait, just listen." Iris pleaded.

"I'm not interested." She turned to hop away.

"Wait!" I yelled as I walked out,

"An audience? Seriously?" She growled, focusing her gaze on me.

"It's not-." Iris choked out.

"She's been borderline obsessed with you!" I blurted out.

Miruko looked at me.

"I bet her to ask you out because she liked you so much and I recently got with Kat-uh Dynamight so I was thinking maybe she also had a shot. That's all" I scrambled to explain. "I'm just here to make sure she actually did it that's all I promise."

Miruko looked between us, her posture less ready to take off. She looked at me as if recognizing me for the first time and turned more towards us, ready to listen. Even if her expression was guarded.

"She's like a really great girl and she listens to your speech about continuing hero work after the Collapse like damn near daily. And-"

"I like you." Iris said, her hands gripping each other so hard the skin was white.

Miruko's eyes widened as she looked at Iris.

"This isn't some fetish thing, or a status thing or anything like those assholes in the past. I mean it's easy for me to say that but I can prove it if you'd let me." She rambled.

Iris stepped forward and this time Miruko let her get closer.

"I agonized over this bet because I wanted to make sure that when I asked you out, you'd remember it forever and it'd be the best cheesy romantic thing you've ever had because you deserve that and-"

"Cheesy romantic thing?"

"I...I had like three plans and I didn't know what to decide. I still don't." Iris said, a deep blush dyeing her features and tears pooled at the corner of her eyes.. "I wrote a song parody. I have a shitty poem, I'm literally wearing the costume Ripley wore in Alien." She said as she zipped down her jacket to reveal the costume.

Miruko's expression slowly turned from cautious to surprised as she listened to things she thought of to do.

"I've been wanting to say this since forever but it boils down to I really want to kiss you and take you on a date and make more obnoxious jokes at midnight. I can't pass by that building without thinking of you and thinking these exact thoughts." Iris rambled, fully crying now. "I really really like you. You're literally everything I've ever wanted and I hope I didn't fuck things up-"

Miruko came up and hugged Iris, swirling her around which is a little comical given Iris is much taller but super cute to witness. She set Iris down, a tiny spot of cautiousness behind her gaze.

"So the bet was just a cheesy romantic gesture, not dating me?" Miruko asked.

"Yes." Iris nodded.

"And this isn't some heteromorphic quirk/ bunny girl fetish."

"No. But admittedly I'm...I'm really curious about your heat cycle. And wanna be there to help. But only if you feel comfortable. And walk me through it." Iris mumbled, her blush spreading on her entire body.

"So you really like me?"

"Our text messages are my wallpaper." Iris said, showing her phone to Miruko.

She looked at the screen and cackled.

"You chose the fake bad porno titles? You serious?" She cackled

"'The Princess and the D' makes me smile!" Iris said, tears running down her eyes and lip wobbling.

"Why are you still crying?" Miruko laughed, wiping her tears.

"Because I like you a lot!" Iris whimpered. "I like you!"

Iris sniffled and used her jacket sleeves to wipe up her tears while Miruko tried wiping the tears away with her thumbs. Iris calmed down a bit, a guilty look still on her face.

"Can we date please?" Iris asked in a small voice.

"The funny thing is.." Miruko said, digging into a pocket in her costume and pulling out her phone. "I was gonna ask you to dinner. Do you hate Italian food?"

"I literally have stacks of lasagna noodles in my pantry. I could eat lasagna for days." Iris said tears starting again.

Miruko wiped away the tears, a huge smile on her face.

"Well quit crying so I can ask you out!"

"No! I already asked you!" Iris pouted.

"Fucking fine! We're asking each other out! Yes?"

"Yea!" Iris sniffled.

They laughed and I thoroughly felt like I was intruding at this point. They joked and laughed as I sneaked away. I pulled out my phone.

Y/N:

Not quite a boom box but just as romantic.

Bet fulfilled!

I texted the group chat telling them about the good news.

Y/N:

So uh Miruko and Iris are dating/ going on dates. And have apparently been close for a while???

Ori:

Hi god it's me again...

(Also congrats to them!)

Kira:

That's it. I'm definitely asking Yoko out.

Ori:

You like Yoko?!

And you didn't tell me :(

Kira:

You have a big mouth!

Y/N:

Yu is awfully silent.

Yu:

.... So maybe I knew...

Kira:

And you didn't tell /me/ that Iris was dating Muruko?

Yu:

She told me not to tell!

Also Y/N seems quiet about you liking Yoko.

Y/N:

Hey whoah we aren't talking about me right now

Ori:

Alright! Okay! We obviously have some catching up to do. Speaking of which~! Recreation center? Pro hero partners welcome?

Yu:

That seems fun!

Kira:

...fine. I suppose I can let this topic change happen. /j

When are you thinking?

Ori:

This weekend?

Y/N:

Wait. Can I invite everybody? Like Chargebolt, Cellophane, Deku etc.

Ori:

Can you- DONT KEEP ALL YOUR HERO FRIENDS TO YOURSELF

Kira:

Oooh! Wait, that would be kinda cool!

Yu:

But how are we not gonna get recognized? Thats a big group.

Y/N:

Good point...lemme ask.

I switched over to the Gravity Girl Intervention group (Yoko and Deku) chat.

Y/N:

Hey guys. Theoretically if I wanted to invite the entire agency to a recreation center how would I go about that without getting mobbed?

Sour Patch Kid

You wanna invite us to hang out?

Nosy:

Wait can I come?

Y/N:

Totally! We just gotta figure it out first

Sour Patch Kid:

Can the rest of 1A come?

Y/N:

1A...your class?

Sour Patch Kid:

I've actually been trying to organize a get together for everyone. And they've been wanting to meet you for a while.

Y/N:

Oh! Really?

Katsuki never mentioned it

Sour Patch Kid:

Yea...

He's been consistently telling everyone to fuck off

Y/N:

Sounds about right I guess.

Actually...I've never really seen that side of him.

I mean sometimes he's annoyingly perceptive but other than that...

I kinda wanna see it!

Sour Patch Kid:

Then

Shall we surprise him?

Y/N:

That's evil and I'm all for it

Yoko:

Yay! Hero Hangout!!!

Y/N:

Awesome!

I switched back to the other group chat.

Y/N:

Okay so slight change in plans

We're inviting a bunch of people (heroes) and renting out the entire place.

Ori:

Holy-

Yu:

I guess that's one way to solve the problem.

Kira:

This time DO NOT tell them about my shooting skills. I'm scamming some heroes

Y/N:

Deal.

I put my phone away and walked around the area for a bit since it had some nice stuff. I went into a few shops, ate some snacks and bought some clothes. I assessed the load I was carrying and decided to end my shopping trip there since I'm taking the train home. By the time I arrived, I got a text from Deku with the reservation details. I squealed and went inside. I watched a bit of TV and drew a bit before Iris came home. I closed my sketchbook and looked at her expectantly. We stared at each other for a moment before Iris caved.

"You were busy with your own relationship problems!" She huffed.

"That doesn't mean don't tell me! Also Katsuki and I have been good for at least two weeks."

"Um one week since you committed public indecency in his office.

"How do you know that?"

"Hawks told Miruko. Who casually mentioned to me that Dynamight is the possessive type and I was like oh what a coincidence my roommate is dating-" She rattled on.

"Ah stop! We're getting off track! How did this happen?"

"Well about a month ago she just walked up to me and pretended I was her girlfriend. The guy offered a threesome because he doesn't understand the concept of women NOT WANTING TO SLEEP WITH MEN-"

"No rant! Just story!" I interrupted.

She pouted and rolled her eyes.

"Anyway she took me out to a food stall she liked and we clicked from there." Iris said, a dreamy look taking over her eye. "I thought we wouldn't see each other again but she visited me after her patrol and asked me to drink with her."

I watched Iris walk over to the couch and sit down, her eyes glazing over as she fondly smiled at the memories.

"And slowly our conversations got deeper and we hung out anytime we could. And we...just...started to like each other." She sighed.

I grabbed her and squealed.

"So we both snagged some pros." I said, leaning on her shoulder.

"Crazy right? She snickered. "Also you would not BELIEVE how curated her interview appearances are. She's so much more vibrant in real life."

"I feel the same way about Katsuki. The fan in me feels a little superior. Which is cringe as fuck but-"

"No same!" She laughed. "I love seeing all of her."

I looked at her, my eyes widening. Then I narrowed them and gave her a Cheshire smile. She blushed deeply sitting up ramrod straight.

"I mean not all-"

"And you shat on me for moving fast." I pointed out.

"Y/N." She groaned.

"I'm kidding!"

We joked around and watched some movies together before Iris' phone rang. Based on the look on her face, I guess she's going out with Miruko tonight. She excused herself as I silently teased her. On her way out, she gave me a death glare then closed her door. After finishing some episode of a random reality show, I retired to my room, deciding to call up my own Pro-Hero significant other to talk to til I fell asleep.

I stretched, hearing some joints pop as I checked my outfit for today. The reservation was made two days ago which seemed short notice but maybe heroes always do things fast. I pulled on my tennis shoes and made sure I was ready to do just about anything. The doorbell rang. I double checked my phone to make sure I sent Iris the information in case she and Miruko wanted to come. But based on how she isn't dressed in exercise clothes and she's got her semi-cute pajamas on. I think she's ready for a different event.

I greeted Katsuki at the door and we headed to the recreation center. What greeted us was a huge building split into three types of challenges. There were arenas, puzzle rooms and hunts. I almost felt a little overwhelmed by the choices when I saw Deku waving to me a little ways away. When Katsuki and I reached the group I saw him stiffen while I gasped. Way more people than I thought would be here. But to be fair it's a huge building so it'd probably be lonely with just the 25 or so I was expecting. Multiple hero agencies were here. Including Hawks and Grands agencies. With our group the heroes were Cellophane, Uravity, Froppy, Denki, Kirishima, Shouto, Acid Queen, Ingenium, Tailman and Tsukoyomi. The starstruck friends of mine were Yoko, Yu, Ori and Kira were also in this group and seemed to have already made fast friends with some of the heroes.

"What the hell is this?" Katsuki hissed at me.

Oh right nobody told him.

"Company outing/Fun date?" I said sheepishly and he narrowed his eyes.

"Ooh ooh! Okay so why don't we do our betting tradition." Ori said excitedly to which Yu nodded.

"Tradition?" Froppy asked.

"We make a bet with a specific person and compete. Whoever wins the most by the end of it grants the other person a wish." I explained. "I'm Y/N btw."

Everyone looked at me for a moment, then the group exploded.

"Wait. What!"

"You're the famous Y/N Deku's been telling us abou-"

"How did you guys meet?

"Is it true Bakugo's a softie around you?"

"It seems even the thorniest of roses can find what makes them bloom."

"It's nice to meet an amazing woman such as yourself. I used your fight as a study for a new move." Ingenium said, shaking my hand. "How did you guys meet?"

"Who the fuck said I was soft?" Bakugo yelled and everyone ignored him.

"Oh wow thanks! Um we met at my job at the bakery." I said, deciding to skip over the details of the false arrest.

"Aww that's cute!!" Uravity gushed. "Like one of those coffee shop stories!"

"It seems very uncharacteristic of Bakugo to walk into a bakery unprompted." Ingenium mused.

"Got a secret sweet tooth?" Tailman joked.

"Call me Tsuyu by the way." Froppy came up, introducing herself.

"Nice to meet you." I said shyly.

One by one everyone introduced themselves and made jokes while Bakugo was standoffish and made the occasional comment. Eventually, I elbowed him and gave him a look.

"C'mon dude be nicer to your friends."

"Oh he's always been like that." Denki said. "If he was any nicer, I'd think he was an imposter."

"Whatever." Katsuki replied then turned to me. "Wanna make a bet? We didn't get to properly compete last time."

"Sure what're you thinking?"

He leaned into my ear.

"I'm thinking if I win, I'll make you beg for my dick while I edge you for hours. I'm gonna finally get to hear you beg for what you want."

My eyes popped open as I stared at him. Okay so that's how we're gonna play.

"In that case. If I win, I peg you." I said back.

His turn to be surprised.

"Huh?" He finally choked out.

"I've been curious and since we're talking about begging. I'm gonna make you beg for my dick." I said cheekily.

"In your dreams Princess."

"Okay Princess. Remember this later." I smirked.

"He really does look different when he talks to her." Tsuyu points out. "He only looks that gentle around Kirishima."

"Shut up." Katsuki roared at the group and they laughed.

At this recreational center while you can play puzzles, games and courses, they also collaborated with local artists to pretty up the place. Most of the more artistic parts were situated at the beginning of this football field sized building. Flashing lights and dizzying interaction displays greeted us as we walked inside to get our access cards. Once we got in, we landed in an area full of options that fell into three categories. Rooms, Arenas and Hunts.

First up was one of the rooms. The room was split into four. One side had microphones and the other had a holographic bomb that reconfigured itself every so often, advertising the game. One person had to describe the bomb while the other told the person with the bomb how to defuse it based on the description. The rooms had a glass wall between them to prevent the a group from hearing the interactions of the competing group. This required two people. I needed someone who could get straight to the point. Someone who could also relay things quickly. I pointed to Sero. Katsuki recruited Ojirou.

I walked into a room with the bomb. I approached the touch screen kiosk and moved my finger watching the holographic bomb twist around. Quick short swipes changed the modules, tapping zoomed in on the module. Long slower swipes moved around the bomb. Double tapping performed an action. I touched a button at the top and the touch screen reconfigured itself, splitting into two. One had a circle on it and the other had arrows with a middle button. The arrows switched between modules, and the middle button helped me zoom in and confirm actions. The circle helped me move around the bomb. I kept this setting because there was less margin for error. For shits and giggles I cut a wire and watched the bomb explode. There was a loud explosion noise and the holographic fire and debris spread outwards, surrounding me like it was a real bomb. Then it resettled back to its original display. Sero's voice came out over the intercom.

"All set up?"

"Yea just got good with the controls." I called out.

"Sweet. Let's get those bragging rights."

Oh yea he gets it. I definitely made the right choice.

"Ojirou and Bakugo decided on six modules. That good with you?"

I rolled my eyes. I just know Katsuki bulldozed Ojirou into getting six modules. Challenge accepted.

"Yea! All good with me."

"Awesome. Let's go ahead and start!"

I initiated the timer on the bomb and examined it.

-Timer 5:00-

"So first we have symbols."

"Symbols, Got it. What do they look like?"

"Uhhh okay one is a backwards paragraph symbol, another is an upside down question mark, another is a triangle with three legs connected to a wall like a wonky sideways T. Last one looks like the Sigma symbol with with an extra long curved top tail part"

"Sweet. First press Paragraph, then Sigma, then Triangle Legs, then question mark."

I pressed them and the module turned green. I jumped in the air, cheering.

"Got it!" I glanced at the timer.

-Timer 4:02-

"Next up we have some green circles on a grid?" I said, a little nervously.

We gotta go faster

"What position are they? Where's the leftmost circle?"

"Second column fourth row." I said quickly

"Cool uh...this is long so stay calm."

He gave me a long list to press the directions of the arrows and the light on the module turned green. Great four more to go.

-Timer 2:45-

Okay now I'm panicking.

"Next up we have wires." I said, shifting from foot to foot.

"How many?"

"Four."

"Is there a red wire?"

"Yes, first one at the top."

"Is there a blue wire?"

"Yup at the bottom."

"Great, cut the first wire.

I used the touch screen to cut the wire and the module turned green. Oh thank god we saved some time there. Three left. I turned around the bomb. More symbols.

-Timer 2:32-

"More symbols! One is a backwards C with a dot in the middle, fancy Zig Zag, Capital H but super fancy, and a tent looking one, upside down v with a little t in the middle."

"Great! Tent, ZigZag, Fancy H, C"

Module turned green! Two to go.

-Timer 1:59-

"Alright this one is a button. It's white and says Hold on it."

"Is there a label on the bottom with CAR there?" He asked.

I twisted the bomb around quickly.

"No."

"A label with a white light next to it that says FRK?"

"No."

"Hold the button and tell me the color of the strip. Also take a breath, you're doing great." Sero reassured me.

I took in a breath and I felt calmer. This game was hella stressful.

"Aww thanks! It's blue."

"Sweet, release the button when there's a four anywhere on the timer."

I wait a few seconds and release the button. Module turns green. Last one. And it's wires. Hell fucking yea.

-Timer 1:26-

"Alright last one! It's wires!"

"Oh thank god I was scared it was another maze." He laughed. "How many?"

"Five."

"Is the last wire black?"

"No."

"How many red wires?"

"None."

"Are there black wires?"

"Yes in the third slot."

"Great cut the first one."

I cut it and the module turned green. The timer stopped and I took a deep breath, wiping my sweaty hands on my pants.

"We did it!" I cheered.

"Hell yea! And more than a minute to spare!"

-Final Time: 1:02-

I exited the room and gave Sero a high five. He enthusiastically reciprocated and leaned in like he was sharing a secret.

"You can hear Bakugo yelling at the poor guy from here." He said with a snicker.

"Read the damn instructions faster Tail!" Katsuki yelled.

"Well if you quit nitpicking when I ask questions, we wouldn't waste time." Ojirou said back calmly.

After about a minute, Bakugo left the room disgruntled, an explosion sound following him just as he crossed the threshold. Sero and I walked up to them with mirror shit eating grins.

"Well Bakubro, that's a win for the cool team." He said fist bumping me.

"Whatever this fucking game sucks anyway." He grumbled as he walked away.

"You also did great babe, I know that sucked." Sero said to Ojirou.

"Yea. He's the same as ever. I was hoping getting a girlfriend would calm him down." He sighed leaning into Sero.

I never suspected the two to be dating but it works surprisingly well. They looked really content and happy. Next game was a simple one. Katsuki and I stood on opposite ends of a lightning shaped sculpture that had a bunch of randomly glowing lights in the same positions on both sides. Whoever pressed it the fastest gained the point. Anyone watching would say I valiantly fought til the end but in Yu's words 'it was an absolute massacre'. Katsuki's been training his reflexes for years and based on his Sports Festival footage, he'd been blessed with good reflexes from the start. Things I knew and accepted. But everytime he glanced at me afterwards with that condescending look I felt a little closer to hitting something. It was an L from the get go. Luckily things can only go up from here.

I walked over to where the hunts were and realized this had to be completed as a group. I recruited Uraraka, Deku and Tsuyu while Katsuki recruited Tenya, Tsukuyomi and Yu. We went in first. A riddle would be shown on the screen inside the room. Then it was a simple game of hangman that was timed. Ten minutes total. The letters were scattered all over the room on corresponding lights.

Simple enough except the lights were all over a three room area and some seem to be hidden because there aren't a lot of them. The people waiting outside could see our guesses and how much time was left on the screen above the entryway. The room itself looked very whimsical and woodsy. Full of odd angles and decorations. The screen at the top of the wall ahead of the door lit up, giving us our hint.

"Gold or Snakes, underfoot they lay. Remember either way, every dog has its day."

"Deku you got any ideas?" I asked him.

"No but starting with a vowel is always a good idea."

Tsuyu walked over pressing A. A head was drawn on the hangman. Shit.

-------- -------

-Timer: 9:30-

"Good guess but also what the hell is it?" I said scratching my head. "I don't know anything with that many A's."

Uraraka put a finger to her chin, thinking.

"The only famous dog I know of is Hachiko..let's try Ha?"

We searched the room and found the Ha in a tight corner of the funkily shaped room.

Ha------ -------

-Timer: 8:45-

"Let's try Chi." Uraraka said.

We scrambled to find the letter. It was near the top of the room so Deku hopped, completely ignoring the fucking rockwall beside it and pressed it.

"Show off." I muttered.

We got a spine on the hangman.

"Uhhh let's try Sa" I said. "Sa sounds like it would go close to ha."

Tsuyu and Uraraka looked at each other and shrugged. Might as well try it. The Sa button was close by so we quickly pressed it.

Ha--sa-- ----sa-

-Timer: 8:37-

"Wait a second. Gold or snakes...that sounds really familiar." Tsuyu said, closing her eyes to concentrate.

"In the meantime let's try N." Deku said. "This looks kinda like a name."

We looked around for a bit and finally found the N near the bottom of the wall, behind a fake wooden door. So there's letters hidden behind things. That explains the Alice in Wonderland vibe this room has. I thought there were way less buttons than needed. We waited for a few seconds and sighed in relief.

Ha--sa-- ---san

-Timer: 7:12-

Okay we still have time. What is this about though, it does seem familiar. Tsuyu's head finally snapped up. She quickly searched around the room, crawling up and down, looking underneath a boulder to find what she was looking for.

"Tsu! What are you looking for?" Uraraka called out.

"Found it!" She said as she pressed a button hidden behind a leaf shaped sliding door.

Ha--sa-- ji-san

-Timer: 6:27-

"That..doesn't clear it up." Deku sighed, staring hard at the riddle.

"Yes it does." Tsuyu said as she landed. She smiled at us. "I know what it is."

"Okay tell us!" Uraraka said excitedly.

"It's Hanasaka Jii-san! That story we read as kids!" She said excitedly.

"Oh!" Uraraka exclaimed. "How did I miss that, that was one of my favorites growing up!"

"Let's find the letters! Uraraka you find Na. I'll find "i". Y/N you find ka."

"And Me?" Tsuyu asked.

"You figured it out, rest easy."

The rest spread out to find the letters. They seemed to all be harder ones to find because I could feel the minutes passing by. I finally found my letter under a dark panel on the ground that was smoothed as opposed to the rest of the carpeted ground. Uraraka found hers shortly after in the eyes of one of the painted animals. Deku looked around for his, the time ticking down. My hands were starting to get sweaty as he assisted with the search. Tsuyu joined in as well. Finally we noticed one of the lights was a distinctly different color. Tsuyu stretched out her tongue, slapping the button and completing the phrase. We cheered, giving each other high fives as the timer stopped.

Hanasaka jiisan

-Final Time: 3:37-

We walked out, sweaty and exhausted sitting on the benches nearby. Deku waved the next group in. I opted to go to the bathroom instead of watching the other team scramble. Tsuyu joined me. When I exited the stall washing my hands I noticed Tsuyu was staring. I turned off the water and she spoke.

"I'm the kind of person to say what I'm thinking."

"Um sure. Say what's on your mind."

"To be honest, I'm surprised Bakugo went for you."

I stiffened, waiting to see where she was going with this.

"We all kind of assumed Katsuki would date a certain someone in our class. So I was surprised to hear about you. Shocked, more like."

She fiddled with a dripping faucet before turning towards me again.

"I'm glad it's you. You seem very good for him."

"Thanks but who he dates is his business. Wasn't really seeking your approval." I said, then decided to soften the statement. "Glad to have it though. I guess."

Tsuyu was silent for a moment before giving a wide smile. I could tell she was hiding something. Probably the identity of the certain someone they all thought Bakugo was in love with. Do they still love him? Was this causing a rift in the group?

"That's true. That is their business. Sorry for ambushing you."

"It's no problem." I said, then I looked away. "Does anyone think I'm a bad match?"

I hated that I wanted to know but I did.

"Nope. Everyone's been saying how well you're handling him." She laughed.

"Really? He's pretty easy to handle." I said, smiling.

"Maybe for you." She commented and I laughed.

We walked out as she shared stories of Katsuki's demon era in high school. It really helped connect the Dynamight today with the Lord Explosion Murder they knew and matured with. We sat down and I realized Katsuki's group was still in the room and it is very close to our Final Time. Vague muffled yelling filtered beyond the closed door. Probably Katsuki barking orders and everyone scrambling to get the hidden letters in time. The final letter is pushed. They rushed out and Katsuki looked at the time. He fell over defeated as I cheered. The few who were watching their game with interest gave me hoots and hollers of victory. I looked at Katsuki giving him a sly mischievous look.

-Final Time: 3:32-

"It seems we're in my dreams because my bet just became reality." I said snidely.

I leaned in towards him.

"Have fun begging for my plastic dick Princess."

He muttered under his breath angrily as he stormed away to presumably get some water. His blush reached his ears before he left my line of vision. Slowly but surely the reality of it set in. One. I had NO idea how to peg someone and am gonna have to do a shit ton of research and two, can I pull it off? Katsuki seemed like he'd be a bratty bottom. Or like a power bottom? Is that the term? Can I match his energy?

"You okay?" Kirishima asked.

I jumped, not realizing he was there. He was leaning in closer with a concerned look.

"Uhhh...yea! Theoretically." I said avoiding his gaze.

"Wanna talk about it?"

I pursed my lips and decided to go for a vague description of events.

"I made a bet that I may or may not be able to follow through with. But we're gonna try anyway. Plus Ultra or whatever!"

Kirishima wasn't really buying what I was selling. He glanced at where Katsuki went.

"Did Katsuki win? He'd let you back out if you really didn't want it."

"No I won, I just refuse to chicken out." I explained.

He looked really confused and like he wanted to ask more questions but decided against it. He put a hand on top of my head, mussing up my hair a bit.

"Well let me know if I can help okay?"

I briefly considered it but he was such a sweetheart it was hard to imagine him in a sexual situation. And I wasn't sure if we were quite close enough yet for sex questions. Even if he'd been a real friend lately. Maybe I'll ask Deku? Katsuki came back and Kirishima gave him an awkward wave while scurrying away. Katsuki sighed heavily and an actual irritated look crossed his face.

"What was that?" I asked.

"I don't know he's been weird for a while now." He sighed.

"Did...something happen between you guys?"

Katsuki paused for a minute, his eyebrows pulling together. I could see the gears turning in his head before he sighed.

"I hope not. At least nothing I can't apologize for." He said softly.

I clapped him on the back.

"I don't think it's irreparable, if that makes you feel better. He's probably just processing something."

Katsuki glanced at me.

"So...when did you two get so close?" He asked nonchalantly.

"Mmmm he helped sometimes during the brainwashing retrainings. He quote 'really wanted to help his bro out'. He also helped keep off some creeps during Costume Week." I listed off.

Katsuki hummed in response and I leaned in, trying to figure out the carefully blank expression on his face.

"Are you...jealous?" I asked.

"No." He said quickly. "Just...wondering."

"I mean Kiri's a total sweetheart but-"

"No, I just...like seeing you guys get along. It's nice." Katsuki murmured.

I stared at him, then pinched his cheeks.

"Aww! You're so cute!"

"Get off!" He said giving me the weakest death glare I've ever seen.

"Hey Bakugo, we're starting a relay on the obstacle course!" Denki called out.

I was sitting this one out but there's no way in hell I'm missing this. Kirishima and Katsuki split into teams. Kirishima picked Tenya, Tsuyu and Mina. Katsuki picked Deku, Sero and Shoto. The obstacle course consisted of a rockwall, a crawling section under a net, an ax section (fake and plastic of course), monkey bars and a sprint to the finish line. Considering Katsuki's my rival for the day, I'm gonna cheer for the other team. I raised a fist, cheering.

"Yea Kiri! Kick Katsuki's butt!"

Everyone laughed and Kirishima blushed a bit. Katsuki pouted and loudly announced.

"No point cheering for the underdog."

"Make sure to keep talking big when you lose." Kirishima shot back.

Everyone lined up, team captains last. Denki played up being a flag girl much to Katsuki's dismay. He lowered the flags and the two teams raced off. Kirishima's team started with Mina who breezed through every part except the crawling bit. Kastuki's team started out strong with Sero breezing past the rock wall instantly with his tape. With Mina being slightly slower on the crawling and climbing bit, Sero secured a lead for his team when he tagged in Shouto. Mina tagged in Tsuyu with a loud sigh.

"Beat that pretty boy!" She called out as Tsuyu raced off.

Tsuyu hopped over the rockwall and crawled quicker than a snake under the netting. Her frog capabilities really giving her an advantage. Shoto's quirk didn't assist much without damaging the facilities so while he was athletic he lost the lead to Tsuyu who beat him with ease. She jogged back, tagging in Tenya who sped off. Mina hugged Tsuyu and cheered while jumping. Shoto tagged Deku when Iida made it over the wall.

"Sorry." He apologized with a pout.

"Don't be! You did great." Deku said, kissing him on the cheek.

"Get in there you damn nerd!" Katsuki screeched.

Deku rolled his eyes and green lightning shot around him. He smirked and jumped, hanging off the top of the wall in swinging over in less than a second. Then he used the wall as leverage and shot himself underneath the netting. Eliminating the lead that Tsuyu got her team. Iida praised him for his ingenuity albeit in a frustrated manner as he crawled as quickly as he could under the net. His blocky frame made it harder as well. Iida managed to close the gap on the monkey bars which Deku was noticeably more careful of because of his arms. They raced to the finish line, basically neck and neck. They tagged their team leaders and we're down to the last lap.

Kirishima was a slower runner than Katsuki but his height and strength kept him at the same pace as Katsuki. Kirishima used his legs to jump as high on the wall as he could before he scrambled to the top while Katsuki blasted his way over. Using his hardening Kirishima could drag himself under the net much quicker despite his bulkier frame than Katsuki who ran the risk of burning something if he used his quirk. They were neck and neck on the handlebars with Katsuki having the slightest of leads. They both dropped off around the same time and sprinted towards the finish line.

We were all cheering and at this point I had no team loyalty. This was just awesome to watch. They crossed the finish line so close we had mixed opinions on who won. Katsuki tried to bicker and do a rematch while Kirishima was just happy with the relay. I walked up to both of them, using my gravity to float and petted both of their heads.

"Good match you two!" I said with a smile.

Kirishima stared wide eyed while Katsuki blushed and grumbled, brushing my hand away. Katsuki looked at Kirishima who avoided his gaze. I guess things were still weird. Kirishima looked at me and gave a wide smile.

"We agree I totally won right?" Kirishima said as he nudged me with his elbow.

"Like hell." Katsuki grumbled.

I laughed and walked off, determined to take a shower since I personally was tuckered out for the day. After I got out of the showers, I dug in my bag for extra clothes when my phone buzzed.

Katsuki <3:

Is it okay if you catch a ride with someone?

I want to corner Ei before he makes an excuse.

I could corner him either way but I wanted to check.

Y/N:

Yea no problem!

Get yo man lol

Katsuki:

*eyeroll*

Thanks.

I stared at my phone for a bit, surprised he didn't take the bait. I guess he's really concerned about him. Then again though they've been best friends for years. And been through a lot together. If Iris and I were having problems I'd be worried too. I saw Kira and Yu come out of the showers and approached them.

"Hey! Wanna ride together?"

Katsuki POV

I jogged over to Ei who was talking excitedly with everyone. Ever the social guy, except when it comes to me lately. I didn't tell Y/N but the hike was the first time we hung out for an extended period of time since the me fucking her in the office thing. It was starting to piss me off. I reached out and grabbed him without preamble from the others who protested before giving up. I dragged him to a more secluded area and stood between him and a path of escape. I swallowed hard.

"I'm sorry." I said softly.

His eyes widened and he tilted his head confused.

"About...what?"

"About whatever the hell it is that's making you avoid me. Just fucking tell me so I don't do it again." I huffed.

"Kats...you didn't do anything wrong." He said softly.

"Well something's up. Just tell me what it is." I demanded.

Eijirou looked sheepishly to the side. He can be damn stubborn when he wants to be. Luckily I've learned how to make him talk.

"Fine. Let's go out for drinks."

He opened his mouth but upon seeing my face shut it again, resigned.

"Great, we'll take my car." I said, pulling out my keys.

TO BE CONTINUED

[sesamestreep]

Jyn & Bodhi, "mandolin"

Jyn gets laid off from her terrible job only a week into lockdown, which is, in all honesty, a mixed blessing, as far as Bodhi's concerned. She was threatening to quit almost daily before the pandemic hit, anyway; this just lets her collect unemployment for a while rather than being completely out on her ass. The real downside—aside from the general state of the world—is that Jyn is not someone who handles boredom well. She also hates rules, so the whole stay-at-home order is a tough area for her overall. It takes about two weeks of her pacing their tiny apartment like a wild animal in a cage before Bodhi loses his patience.

"You just need a project," he suggests, keeping his tone mild. It's not her fault that she's in this situation, after all, and Bodhi has been working remotely for years, so he's used to being home all the time in a way she isn’t. "Or a hobby!"

Jyn scoffs in response, and leaves his room to go be annoyed in the living room instead. She's picked up the habit of hanging out in his bedroom so she can make faces at him while he's stuck in virtual meetings all day. She doesn't admit that it's because she's lonely, but he can tell that's at least part of it. He's slightly concerned that if they don't find a distraction for her, she'll invent a drinking game that involves taking a shot every time he uses embarrassing office lingo during his calls, and there will be no coming back from that. He says "let's circle back to that," every five minutes, it feels like. Jyn will die of alcohol poisoning before this whole thing is over.

He mentions all of this to Cassian during one of their meetings, in case he has any suggestions. Bodhi met him and his roommate Kay through work, but they know Jyn too, from the times they convinced their office to go out to happy hour at the bar she used to work at. Jyn would probably insist they're Bodhi's friends, not hers, but he knows better.

Before Cassian can respond, Kay's head pops into frame. "Wait a minute," he says, drily, "you're telling me that Jyn—Jyn Erso—is acting hostile and irrational? I can hardly believe it!"

Cassian shoves him away at the same moment Bodhi says, "Go easy on her. She's having a tough time."

"Ignore him," Cassian replies, still glaring at his roommate off camera. "Empathy isn't his strong suit."

"I just wish I could think of something that might help her, you know? I feel like she needs a distraction."

"Yeah, I know. I don't think she's sleeping much either. She texted me at four a.m. the other day."

"She did?" Bodhi asks. He didn't know she and Cassian texted each other. He's secretly always thought maybe Jyn had a crush on him, but he knows better than to bring it up with her. She would never admit it to Bodhi, and then she'd be weird around Cassian forever. "About what?"

"She asked me if Zaboomafoo from the TV show ‘Zaboomafoo’ was a real monkey."

"What did you say?"

"I said, he's not a real monkey, but he's definitely a real lemur. And then she said, 'monkeys and lemurs are the same thing' and I said they are not the same thing—"

"I get the idea," Bodhi interjects. "Has she been texting you a lot?"

Cassian shrugs, but he's also ducking his head to stare at his desk, so Bodhi thinks he might be embarrassed. "Probably slightly more than average," he finally admits. "Mostly with questions she can easily google."

"Yeah, I think she's a little lonely with just me for company."

"It's not like she was a social butterfly before this."

"No, but she had co-workers and customers at the bar to interact with," Bodhi says. "Granted, she hated most of those people, but still."

Cassian snorts in response. "Isn't she musical?" he asks, after a moment.

"What?"

"You said she needed a hobby. Doesn't she play an instrument or something?"

"Oh, yeah," Bodhi replies. He'd completely forgotten. "She plays piano. She took lessons for years."

"Does that seem like something she'd want to get back into?"

"It's a good idea, but we definitely don't have room in our apartment for a piano."

"Not even a keyboard?"

"Not really." He sighs, exasperated. "What I need is, like, the world's smallest instrument for her to learn."

"Well, the world's smallest instrument is actually the violin I play for Kay when he complains about the way I load the dishwasher," Cassian says, throwing a look over his shoulder at his roommate, "but there's probably something out there that won't break the bank."

"Perhaps a lyre?" Kay suggests from off-camera.

"Harmonica?" Cassian adds.

"Ooh, a recorder!" Kay says, with malicious glee.

"Thanks, Kay, but I don't fancy hearing 'Hot Cross Buns' a thousand times a day while I try to work," Bodhi replies. "I appreciate the help, though."

"I'm sure you'll think of something," Cassian says. "And I'm sure she'll love it."

"Thanks," he says, the gears of his mind already turning as he tries to come up with a plan.

*

In the end, he buys her a mandolin. She likes folk music and it's certainly small enough to keep in their apartment. He also thinks there are worse things in the world than listening to mandolin music all day. If she decides she hates it, or gives up after two days, they can always mount it on the wall and pretend they bought it as a piece of decor.

When the package shows up on their doorstep, Bodhi makes a whole production out of it. He drags her into the living room and makes her close her eyes before he hands the present over. Once she's unearthed the actual instrument from all of its packaging, she holds it very carefully and awkwardly, almost like it's a newborn baby.

"What is this?" she asks, and her face is blank, which means she's having some sort of emotion she doesn't like and thinks she's better off hiding it from him.

"It's a mandolin," Bodhi replies, suddenly very worried this was the stupidest idea in the history of ideas.

Jyn sighs. "I know that," she says. "I meant, what is this for?"

"For your pandemic hobby. I thought you might like to learn a new instrument and this is one is very small and cute."

"Am I really driving you that crazy?" Jyn asks, and someone who knows her less would probably miss the tiny flicker of hurt in her eyes, but Bodhi doesn’t.

“You’re not driving me crazy at all,” he insists. She levels an unimpressed look at him and he relents. “Okay, so you’re driving me a little crazy. But I mostly bought it for you. I can tell you’re bored listening in on my meetings and I’m fairly certain you’ve watched everything on Netflix already, so I thought this might be something interesting for you to do.”

Jyn spends long enough processing this and staring at the mandolin in her lap that Bodhi actually starts to sweat. He’s about three seconds from apologizing and grabbing the instrument right out of her hands, hoping they won’t ever have to talk about this again if he can just return it fast enough, when Jyn lunges at him and crushes him in an intense hug that reminds him she’s still been working out every day during lockdown.

“You like it?” He asks, faintly, as he tries to return the hug.

“Yeah,” Jyn says, her face buried in his shoulder. “I love it.”

“Good.”

*

Three days later, on another call with Cassian, he pauses mid-statement and says, “Bodhi, your mic is picking up some background noise. Can you hear that?”

Bodhi smiles. “Yeah, that’s Jyn. She’s learning a new song.”

“I take it she liked her gift,” Cassian says, with a smile of his own.

“I think so. If the noise is distracting, though, I can tell her to take a break until our call is done.”

“That’s alright,” Cassian replies. “It sounds good to me.”

Bodhi couldn’t agree more.

Masterlist // 01

Warnings: Swearing

Word Count: 2.7k

Orlaith and I get off the bus and start walking down the road.

"Where are ye going?" Orlaith asks me.

"I'm away de Saint Marie's, ye wanny join me?" I tell her.

"Aye, sure why not?"

"I finished a job last night and didn't get de give Eoghan the card," I say, brandishing a gold colored card, "I need to get paid and get me next one."

"Why do you do this?" Orlaith asks, shaking her head at me.

"Eoghan's letting me stay in one of the rooms at Saint M's. I'm earning my keep, besides, the money's good."

"If you say so," she shrugs.

We keep walking and then I pull her sleeve, to show her the alley we need to walk down. We reach the end and I pull off my school blazer, shoving it in my school bag and exchanging it for my green and grey striped hoodie. I push open the door to the old Catholic school, I see that people are already in, clearly people like to start drinking early, well, if 5 in the afternoon is early to you.

I pull Orlaith to the bar and I slam the gold card on the bar, making Eoghan look at me. He takes the card and puts it in the out box, he then lifts a wad of cash and gives it to me. He begins to tell me that someone called for me, someone who called me 'Malen'kaya Volchitsa.' Only two people have ever called me that...and one's... not here anymore, so I know exactly who's after me. And just in case I didn't, the name she left, 'Cáileach,' was a nice hint. The witch is a smart one, I'll tell you that much.

(Little she-wolf) (Witch)

I take the number she left and smirk at the gold card.

"We'll take two cokes Eoghan," I tell him before going to the corner table by the door, my table.

Orlaith follows me to the table and sits across from me, "Why's a witch looking for you?"

"Because after leaving me for two years she's finally reaching out," I reply.

"Okay...and what the fuck does that mean?"

"What it means is that I'm gonny be leaving for a bit. My sister needs me, and I can't leave her hanging, 'sides, I owe her."

"You have a sister? Since when?" my confused friend asks.

"Not by blood, not by law she's... emotionally? my sister. Yeah, let's go with that. Basically when I went missing two years ago she was there, we bonded, and she saved me. That's all you need to know," I finish.

Eoghan brings us our drinks and we thank him, I hand him back a tenner, he tells me that he'll be behind the bar if I need him and that we'll talk about this job later.

Orlaith and I stay at the table for a bit while we finish our drinks, talking about our day and how much we hate our math teacher. Then Orlaith gets a text from her mam saying that she needs to head home to do homework and have some family time, whatever that is. I wouldn't know, it's been a while since I was at 'home'. It doesn't matter though, this, Saint Marie's the mercenary job fair of a bar, this is my home now.

When Orlaith leaves I head up to the bar and sit on a stool. I look up at the dead pool to see who's been picked this week, the dead pool is fun for me because as a minor I'm not allowed to get picked, I can just sit and watch the chaos. Only downside is that I can't pick anyone, so... I mean it's a two-way street, so I guess that's fair.

"So, what's this witch after?" Eoghan questions.

"Not sure," I reply honestly, "But whatever it is, it must be important. We haven't spoken in two years, and last time we spoke, he was still alive."

"Him as in-" Eoghan begins.

"Yes, he as in my grá cáilte. She didn't even call me then, so whatever this is has de be big. It better be, or I might just hang up."

(Lost love)

"You won't. The stories you've told me- you wouldn't leave her. If you did you'd hate yourself. You can't bring do stóirín back, he's gone, but you can still help her."

(Your darling)

"You're right, it just breaks my heart, I had to find out they escaped from rumors and stories, but I found out that he died by watching it, live on tv. We had so much potential, he had so much potential, but now I'll never know. Glac siad a anam ró-ghasta."

(They took his soul too soon)

"You're right. But now she needs you. So go find out what the witch wants, and try your damndest to deliver," he says.

"I will," I say, smiling at him sadly, "Thanks, E."

"Not a bother," he assures me, smirking, "Mactíre."

(Wolf)

I dial the number, she picks up after a single ring.

"Wanda, it's been a while," I say, trying to stay happy even though I know hearing her voice again will probably bring tears.

"Fianna, it has," she says, and I inhale sharply. No tears, not now, not yet at least.

"So, what do you need me for so urgently?" I begin to cut the shit.

"I need help. I need a friend, I need a soldier. Are you available for some last-minute travelling?" she says hesitantly. Clearly I'm a last resort, a "break glass in case of emergency" type help.

"Of course, when and where?" I ask.

"I need you to get to Leipzig-Altenburg Airport asap. We'll get you where you need to be from there," Wanda explains.

"Yeah, uh, when exactly do you mean by asap?"

"I mean, like literally buy a last-minute flight and get on it, within the next two hours. It'll be a two-hour flight, I'll pick you up and we'll get where we need to go."

"Alright, fine. I just need to know, what I'm up against. You said you needed a soldier? I need to know what I'm fighting for before starting a war."

"This is... the fight of a lifetime. You'll be fighting for truth and... safety. Who you'll be up against? Some of my closest friends and some of the deadliest assassins in the last thirty years. Now are you in or are you out? I don't blame you if you're out, but it would really help."

Wanda sounds... more than desperate, she's hopeless, she needs me, more than she ever has. I've fought many's a fierce foe in my time, but Avengers? Deadly assassins? That's usually more than a smidge above my paygrade. But she needs me, she's calling in her last favor, she clearly thinks I'm up for it. I hesitate for a second, weighing my options before making a life-changing decision.

"I'm in. I'll be there in four hours, max," and with that I hang up.

Guess I'm going to Germany.

I walk back into the bar and go through the side door that brings me to the lodging. I go to my room at sit on my bed. I'm leaving. I begin to pack my shit, I pull my kitbag out from under my bed and begin filling it with clothes. Leggings, t-shirts, hoodies, leather jackets, everything I might need. I pack all the essentials and then begin to think of how I'll smuggle my brass knuckles through security. I lift my mattress and take out a couple hundred pounds in cash, shove it in my wallet and keep packing.

When I'm all packed I begin to forge a note from my 'mother' for the school so that I can get time off without them calling up people who haven't seen me in over a year and a half. I make a simple excuse of appendicitis, was rushed to hospital late tonight blah blah, they won't really care, the school year's nearly over. I just need something for show so that I don't get called out.

I text Orlaith, letting her know I'm being called out of the country. She questions me at first, but when I explain that Wanda needs me, and I can't let her down she lets me be. She says she'll drop in and pick up the note tomorrow morning before getting on the 212 to Coláiste Feirste.

(Belfast College {It's an Irish speaking high school})

Now I've just got to talk to Eoghan. I tell him to come to the lodging hall, behind the bar. He serves the last couple of drinks that were ordered and joins me in the back.

"I have de go de Germany," I tell him, "It seems above my paygrade, but she needs me and I gotta be there for her."

"Okay... do ye have enough for the flight?" he simply asks.

"Aye, I've got all I need, me kitbag's packed an' everythin'."

"Ye said above yer paygrade. What'd ye mean by that?"

"I'm not just fighting with Wanda's friends. I'm also fighting against a couple o' them."

"What? Naw- What the fuck Fianna!"

"Look, she needs me, Eoghan, I can't just leave her."

"You're not fighting them assholes."

"Yeah, I am, Eoghan."

"Naw you're not."

"You can't stop me. I tol' her I'm in, and I'm going," I say, standing up and throwing the strap of my kitbag over my shoulder.

"Fianna, ye can't just leave to fight those dickheads," he stands up.

"I'm away," I say firmly, walking out the door.

"Get your arse back here, now!"

"You're not my da, Eoghan. You can't make me stay."

"I might not be your da, but I'm the closest thing to a father you've had these past years. You better treat me with a bit more respect."

"Maybe," I shrug, "But I'll stick with this for now," I say, throwing up my middle finger before leaving the bar. The taxi I called beforehand pulled up and I got in.

"The airport," I tell the driver.

"Right," is the simple reply he gives me.

I get a text when we're about halfway to the airport.

I click my phone off and look out the window at the familiar city I've grown up in. All my life except a year was spent here. When I wasn't here I was with the twins, me becoming who I am, them becoming who they are... or were, and then I left them. Not by choice. Not on purpose. But I still left them.

But now I've got Wanda back, and while I don't know how long I'll be with her for, it will be good to see her. If only I could've seen him one last time before I left, spoke to him one last time, made sure nothing was left unsaid. Instead I'm here, he's gone, and I'll never know how things could've gone if perhaps I never left.

The driver stops at the airport entrance and lets me out, I pay him the fare and he takes it with a smile. I grab my bag, close the door, and go into the airport. I go to the desk and ask if there are any last-minute tickets to Leipzig-Altenburg I could get on. While there was a seat I could take, it cost a little more than a pretty penny. Luckily I had enough to buy it and went through security immediately. I opted for a pat-down rather than the metal detector and thanks to my damn good hiding spots the woman didn't find my brass knuckles.

I wait for the half hour before my flight and board along with the others. I get to my seat and sigh. A two-hour flight isn't long, it's just boring to sit through, no one to talk to and not long enough to sleep through. I just sit there messing on my phone for a bit, making faces at the baby looking through the gap between the chairs a couple rows in front of me.

When the plane finally lands I prepare myself. This is it. I have to fight Avengers. I have to fight deadly psycho assassins. But first. I have to see Wanda. For the first time in two years. For the first time since he died.

° ∆ -------- ••• ------- ∆ ° ∆ -------- ••• ------- ∆ °

When I leave the airport I scan my surroundings and all the cars parked there. I stop when I come across a van that could be owned by no other, a white panel van with what I'd consider an iconic license plate: L: T34MC4P, I know that it's gotta be my ride. I go to the passenger side and knock on the window, the door opens, and I'm promptly enveloped in a hug.

"Someone order a conriocht?" I sat into my sister's shoulder.

(Werewolf)

She laughs and hugs me tighter, "I did, you little volk."

(Wolf)

I look at her with tears in my eyes, smiling sadly. She looks back at me with a similar expression and we just stay there in the embrace for a moment.

"Okay," I say, finally pulling away and wiping my tears away, "So who's ass do I have to kick?"

She laughs, wiping away her own tears, "No one's just yet. We gotta get there first, so get in the back."

"Back of a van?" I quirk an eyebrow, "Are there seats of does this look like a kidnapping?"

"There are seats, but they're laid down. Scott is sleeping on them, and I thought you'd want to stretch before we get there, human or not."

"That's fair, but the second I shift I'm gonna be stuck with Lu, you know that."

"I can get her to ease up, but you're stuck with her, you have to learn how to get along with her, okay?"

"Yes mom," I mock, "I'll see you on the other side."

I salute her before opening the back door, seeing a middle-aged man sleeping on the seats. Must be Scott. I climb behind the seats and lay down, shifting to the Mactíre, and as expected I hear Lu.

Lu is like a voice in my head, she's the canine and lupine instincts that got transferred during the experiments. She talks to me, mostly degrades me for my logic and emotions, planning things out rather than acting on instinct and figuring it out on the fly.

"So, she returns," Lu mocks.

"Yes, I've returned. Wanda needs help, she needs me, needs us to work together," I reply.

"Wanda? Wanda needs us?"

"Yes. And we're gonna work together. Right?"

"Yes. Of course. Anything for Wanda."

"Good. Now we're gonna be driving for a bit, so what do you suggest we do?"

"Sleep. Sleep is good. Sleep builds energy."

"Okay Lu, we'll sleep. But when we're fighting I need to take control, okay? I need to be able to focus."

"Okay Fi, you take control."

"Thank you."

And with that I begin to drift out of consciousness.

"Aaahhh~" "The hell's wrong with you, Aiyama?" Matsudaira asked me while I stretched my body as I walked out of the house. "Nothing, sir. I just slept funny last night. That's all." And by sleeping funny, I mean having Kagura beat the crap out of me til sunset and waking up on the hard dojo floor with two kids sleeping on my already bruised body. Now my body is sore all over, stiff as a rock and I can hardly breathe right now. Well… that last part is my own fault.

Since I'm meeting the top command of the shinsengumi today, I decided to take extra precautions to make sure I look more masculine. During my small shopping trip yesterday, I bought some tank tops and medical tape to help bind my chest and make it look smaller.

Before, I simply wrapped my breasts up with bandages, but with the tape, I can keep them tight and secure. Plus, the tank top underneath the uniform makes me look extra flat. There would be no questioning my masculinity! The only downside is that it is not only hard to breathe but also hard to move as well. But it would be fine. I can handle this for a couple of hours…. I think. I hope. Why do I suddenly feel like barfing up my breakfast?

"Good luck, Aiyama-san! You'll do great today!" "Just stay calm, and everything will be okay!"

I turned around to see Shinpachi and Otae, waving and smiling at me, wishing me good luck and reassurance. Just when I was feeling uneasy, they're making me feel better. Almost like they sense it.

Seeing them made me smile and think how lucky I am to be able to have them as my supporters. I should do more to thank them. I flash a quick grin and thumbs up to them in reply to their cheers and say, "When I get back, you'll officially call me 'Officer Aiyama-san' I got this in the bag!" And got in the back of the car. The moment the door closed, the driver started it up and took off. I waved back at the two as a final bye before work and leaned back in my seat once they were out of sight.

---

Once the car was gone, Shinpachi stopped his hand from waving once he realized something. "Anuene? Did you tell Minami-san about you-know-who?" Which made his sister stop her hand as well and move it over her mouth in shock. "I thought you did, Shin-chan." "Why is that my responsibility!? He's your stalker!" Shinpachi yelled at her but calm down. "Isn't that a bad thing? Do you think she'll be okay?" With a small thinking moment, she just shrugged her shoulders and walked back inside. "I'm sure it will be fine. I mean, what's going to change if she knew anyway?" Hearing that from her, Shinpachi still couldn't shake the feeling it should be known, but it can't be helped.

Thanks for reading and I hope you enjoy it 😊

Auntie:

Closing the shop for today!

Y/N:

Really? Why?

Auntie:

Yoko seems to be having a crisis, so I'm helping her out.

Y/N:

Anything I can do to help?

Auntie:

Yes! Go see that boyfriend of yours and convince him to take off work!

You've only had one date. Take initiative!

Y/N:

Aye Aye Captain. Let me know if Yoko needs anything.

A crisis? I know she'll be alright with Auntie there but it felt wrong to enjoy the day knowing that. I'll check on her tonight to see if she wanted to talk about it. I flopped back on my bed, staring at the ceiling. Considering the investigation underway, barging into Katsuki's workplace seemed like a one-way ticket to getting embarrassed. Maybe I'll go to the gym, I haven't boxed in a while. I sat up and pulled on my exercise clothes. I grabbed my gloves and walked out the door to see Iris pacing again. She looked up this time and gazed at my outfit.

"No work today?" She asked.

"Sudden day off, so I'm gonna go to the gym." I replied. "Do you want to come?"

She considered the offer, biting her nails until she realized she didn't have any left. Then she nodded.

"Yea, that'd be a good idea." She said quietly.

I sat on the couch and waited for her to change. She's been off for a while now. She couldn't still be worried about Katsuki right? She came out shortly after in a cute gym outfit, brown hair tied up in a bun. Her eyes still seemed clouded with worry as she grabbed her keys off the hook.

Something seriously must be up if she's just going with her natural self today.

We traveled to the gym in silence, walking up to the punching bags then doing our stretches. It was like she couldn't even try hiding it anymore. The bags under her eyes were dark and she kept staring off into the distance, thinking hard about something. Her shoulders were slumped and it was like she was on her last legs.

"Iris...can you please tell me what's up?" I said finally, fed up.

She looked at me with hopeless eyes.

"I don't know how." She said, finally not pretending she was fine. "I don't know if I can handle it if it goes wrong right now."

"Can you give me a hint?" I asked, head tilted in confusion.

My phone started ringing before she could answer. We had a staredown for a moment before she sighed. She's finally talking, I didn't want to give her an out. She motioned towards the phone.

"I promise I won't just leave you hanging. Answer the phone." She said.

I took out the phone and answered it, glancing at her before I addressed whoever it was.

"Hello?" I said reluctantly.

"Hey, is the shop closed today?" A deep voice answered back. Katsuki.

"Uh yea, Yoko and Auntie needed to do something so she just gave me the day off." I said

"Huh, that's weird. Deku suddenly gave me the day off too." He said, sounding suspicious.

We both paused for a moment.

"Do you think they planned this together?" I said with a growing smile.

"No doubt about it." He said. "Where are you?"

"We're at the gym on Main Street." I said.

"We?" He asked.

"Iris and I." I clarified.

"Got it." He said. "I'll meet you there in a bit."

"Sweet, see you then!"

"See you. I love you."

I paused, my heart fluttering.

"Love you too." I said sheepishly.

"Bye." He said, I could hear his smile.

"Bye."

I shifted back and forth happily at the prospect of seeing Katsuki then remembered my previous conversation. I turned back to Iris. She looked around the gym and started rubbing her arm. She looked into my eyes, hers so full of an emotion I couldn't really place. Then she turned away.

"I think it would be best if I told you and Dynamight together tonight." She said.

"Why Katsuki?" I asked. "And why can't you say it now?"

"I kinda need to prepare to say it." She said, not making eye contact.

She took my pinky and held it up, holding it tight.

"I promise that tonight you'll know everything." She said. "I swear."

I squeezed her pinky with my own.

"I'm holding you to that."

We both got up after some more stretches and started hitting the bag. We alternated between doing drills on the individual punches and dodges. After almost an hour, we both stopped, drenched in sweat. I could probably keep going but Iris looked like she was about to pass out. We gathered our stuff and headed towards the door. When we walked out, we saw Katsuki walking up, sweaty and smudged with dirt. I glanced over at Iris who grimaced for a moment and then quickly straightened her face.

Does she not like him?

"Whoah, what happened?" I asked, watching him wipe some dirt off his face with his shirt.

"A villain attack happened on the way here." He said.

"Ah. That'll do it." I replied.

"Did you drive over here?" Iris asked while adjusting her bag.

Katsuki nodded and she sighed with relief.

"Oh thank god, can you drive us home? I need a shower and a long nap." She said, trudging towards the parking lot not really waiting for an answer.

I gave Katsuki an apologetic smile.

"Sorry. She seems to be in a mood today." I said, my voice low.

"Honestly, I think she just doesn't like me much." Katsuki said, then leaned slightly towards me. "Maybe she likes you?"

"No way."

I didn't say anything about her not liking him because I'm starting to get the same vibe. She never really talked directly to him. She seemed less than enthusiastic when he's mentioned and he's the first person I've ever seen her hit without hesitation. I imagined that dating a pro-hero would be supreme teasing material but it was almost like she hated mentioning it. We got in his car and drove in silence to our house. Katsuki cleared his throat.

"So if it's alright, I wanna take Y/N to my house." He said to Iris, almost like he was asking permission.

Iris was trying to bite her nails again before she noticed he was speaking to her. Katsuki repeated what he said. She flicked her eyes to me then back to him.

"Sure, I'm not her mom." She said with a confused expression.

Katsuki looked at the door. She followed his eyes and her's widened.

"Oh right! Yea, sorry." She scrambled as she grabbed her gym bag and walked out.

She closed the door, then walked up to my window.

"Let me know when you guys want to talk." She said cryptically then walked towards the elevator.

"Is something up?" Katsuki asked.

"Yea, she wants to tell us something tonight. It's the thing that's been bothering her for the past few weeks." I sighed.

"Why me too? That seems personal." He asked, eyebrows pulling together as he drove out of the parking lot.

"I don't know but if it gets her to talk I don't care." I said, settling into the seat, sighing.

Thoughts of what Iris could say swirled in my head. I leaned my head against the window and watched the buildings pass by in a blur. Katsuki's hand slid onto my thigh and squeezed. I looked at him and smiled. I held his hand and turned up the radio. Eventually, we rolled to a stop in front of a nice apartment complex. It looked five star fancy and there were fancily dressed people and guards at the check in.

"This is your place?" I asked in awe.

"Yup." He hummed, amused at my reaction.

We got past the front desk and took the elevator to his floor. Once we were in the apartment, I gaped, looking around. It was stylishly decorated with not a thing out of place. He watched me look around before guiding me down a hallway. Soon we arrived at a room I could only assume was his bedroom. He hugged me from behind, kissing my neck.

"We should probably take showers." I said smiling and making sure my armpits are closed.

"I know." He said, placing another kiss on my cheek.

"And yet you're still hanging on me." I said.

"You were so much nicer yesterday with the I miss you's and hugs." Katsuki complained.

"I'll be nice after you take a shower."

"You can be nice to me in the shower." He said seductively into my ear.

"Nope! I gotta prepare." I said, throwing out the lure.

Katsuki's eyes widened.

"Prepare?" He said, taking the bait.

"For your massage!" I said cheerfully. "And this one's on the house (cuz I gotta practice)"

I turned around and put my arms around his neck, smiling.

"Now can you show me where the oil and stuff is?" I asked.

While Katsuki showered, I gathered all the stuff I'd need for the massage. Some stuff I had to look around a little to find. By the time he got out, I had his bedroom set up. When he walked in, I connected my phone to his speaker and turned on a massage playlist. He came in with a towel and looked around the candlelit room. I motioned towards the bed that now had several towels laying on it.

"Lay down and relax while I shower real quick and we can get this started!" I said my voice was a little shaky from nerves.

He gave me a look, smiling and walked towards the bed. I grabbed a towel and ran into the shower. While scrubbing, I mentally went through all of Auntie's tips. I finally turned off the water and dried myself off. I pulled on one of Katsuki's t-shirts and hyped myself up. Then walked into the room, trying to exude calm. Katsuki was laying down on his stomach, head on top of his arms. He looked up, then let his eyes trail down to my legs.

"Just so you know I'm gonna take the massage seriously. So no sexy time." I said with a smile.

He smirked. "We'll see about that."

I climbed on the bed and sat on him, grabbing the bottle of oil. I rubbed some oil between my fingers and spread it on his back. I let my hands trail slowly up from his back to his shoulders, applying light pressure. His back was warm and defined, years of work and training evident in every muscle. I bit my lip trying to stay focused. I could always stare at his back later. I rubbed my thumbs in circles from his neck to his shoulders, pressing into the many knots I found. He grunted and I stopped.

"Bad?" I asked.

"No, good. Press harder." he said, his voice almost sleepy.

"There's a joke in there about you asking me to go harder." I teased, continuing my massage, using my gravity to press a little harder.

He sat up and softly swatted my hip. "Get back to it Miss "Take This Serious."

I smiled and gently pushed him down. He let out a content sigh as I found the pressure he really liked. His body relaxed more and more under my touch. I asked him to turn around so I could massage his feet. He got up, adjusting his towel and laid back down. I got the oil and rubbed it between my hands, then worked my thumbs into the arches concentrating. His foot twitched.

"You ticklish?" I said with a small smile.

"Don't even think about it." He threatened.

I worked my way up to the toes, pulling slightly. Then moving on to the other foot. I kept going until his foot was a little more pliant in my hands. I asked him to flip around again. Then I climbed the bed and started massaging his legs. It didn't really strike me how muscular his thighs were until seeing them up close. I briefly think about the sexual implications before shaking my head. We're focusing on making him feel relaxed today.

I worked my way up to his back which was fraught with knots. I tried rubbing most of them out, earning some grunts from Katsuki. When the knots on his back were mostly rubbed out, I moved onto his arms. I climbed off the bed and picked up his wrist, rubbing up his arm. Then finished with a hand massage. I do the same to the other arm briefly wondering if he was asleep. I go back to his back to do a few final rubs.

"How are we feeling?" I asked, noticing Katsuki was very silent.

"Mm?" he groaned sleepily.

I smiled. Guess the massage was a success. I stopped rubbing after about 10 more minutes and sat beside him. After a few moments, he pulled me down to lay beside him and cuddled into me. He kissed my cheek and laid back down.

"Auntie taught you all that?" He said sleepily with a smile.

"Yea, I'm not nearly as good as she is but I think I remembered the basics." I said shyly.

"I'd say you've definitely got the hang of it." He laughed.

"I wanted to make sure you could relax after working so hard." I said.

"Well, I'm definitely relaxed." He sighed contentedly.

"Do you want to take a nap?" I said

"Nope, that'd mean less time with you." He replied softly.

"Then wanna watch something?" I gestured to the TV.

"Sure." He got up and grabbed the remote from the bedside table and clicked on the TV.

We watched a few episodes of a show. As it went on, I got less interested as I felt Katsuki's hands wander. His hand trailed up and down my thigh, causing goosebumps. They kept getting dangerously close to my center. Eventually, his hand brushed over my clit, causing my body to stiffen. I tried to turn towards him but he kept me in place.

"Just relax." He said as he spread my lips apart with his fingers.

"This visit was supposed to be about you." I breathed out, feeling his fingers rub delicate circles around my clit.

"Then let me please you." He kissed my neck.

"You really don't have to, I'm fine-" I said, trying to eliminate the moan from my voice.

"I want to." He said, cutting me off. "Besides, I want to see my favorite pervert come on my cock again." He said with a wicked smile.

If I could think, I'd respond but he kept licking and sucking my neck in all my favorite places. He pushed two fingers inside, curling up in slow measured strokes. My breathing turned heavier as the pleasure started building. He placed soft kisses on my neck, watching my body writhe to get more pleasure from his hands. I slid my hand over his and pushed his palm on my clit, using his hand to get off.

"Yes, baby use me." He said while watching me grind on his hand. "I think one of these days we should make a day out of it."

I felt his cock twitch on my ass. "You want me to use you as my sex toy?" I asked, struggling to form words through the haze of pleasure.

He grinded into me, his breath picking up. "Fuck yes."

"Okay" I moaned. "Next time, when I'm not trying to spoil you."

I turned toward him to see his eyes on me. He grabbed my hips and pulled me closer. He leaned down, softly kissing my lips. It started off gentle until Katsuki's hands settled on my ass and squeezed. Tired of the towel in the way, I pulled it off him and slid closer. I leaned into the kiss, grinding my hips into him. His cock grew harder, heat boring through my clothes. He turned me onto my back, looking me up and down before continuing the kiss. I wrapped my arms around his neck pulling him closer. His hands wandered under my knees and lifted them. I wrapped my legs around his hips as he guided mine in rhythm, us grinding together. He sat up, pulling up my shirt. I sat up, letting him take it off me. He looked down.

"You're wearing my boxers?" He smiled.

"Massaging you coochie out seemed like a one-way ticket to not finishing the massage." I said while giving him a kiss.

I took off the boxers and he stared at me for a long moment. Then he got off the bed and opened the curtains to let the afternoon sun in. I covered my chest feeling a little more exposed. He frowned at my arms. He's seen my scars before but this time, I'm not distracted by anything emotional. He's not distracted by anything emotional.

He climbed on the bed and gently removed my arms and stared at me. His eyes drunk in every detail, slowly like he had to memorize me. I felt my body heat up as I watched his half hard member slowly rise at the sight of me. His rough hands traced my figure, the stretch marks, the scars from my shoulders to my thighs. I looked away, feeling too exposed. He used his hand to gently guide my face towards his.

"Let me enjoy my gift." He said softly, eyes full of lust-addled admiration.

His eyes were half lidded, almost drowning in his deep blush. His eyebrows were pulled together as he looked over me, always analyzing. He spread my legs staring at my core, cock fully hard. He stroked himself a couple times, sinful grunts rising out of his throat before holding the base. I placed my hands under my knees to hold my thighs open and he bit his lip. He took a couple fingers, and curled them inside me, earning a light moan. After a few strokes, he took them out, staring at the slick between his fingers and spread it over the top half of his cock. While his other hand kept squeezing the base he pumped his hand over the now slick covered tip. Curling his fist over and over while he cursed and moaned.

"I can't even fucking decide what I want to do." He groaned looking over my body.

I felt like a goddess, watching him helplessly stroke himself to me. I looked at him, his toned, muscular body riddled with battle scars and scratches. The way his chest rose and fell as he panted. His strong hands curled around his long, thick cock. I don't think I'll ever get used to how perfect he looked. Maybe that's how he saw me? He stared at my cunt, dripping and on full-display and licked his lips. Then he gritted his teeth and stopped stroking, breathing hard through his nose. Then he looked at me.

"I won't last." He sighed more to himself than me. "I have to be inside you."

"I need you inside me too." I said softly, watching his dick twitch at the statement.

He tilted my head up and softly kissed me. His hands gripped my thighs and pulled them onto him. I could feel his cock pressed against my center. His lips moved against mine as his hips grinded into me. I moved my hands to curl one in his hair and used the other to run down his chest. One hand tweaked my nipples. Pinching and rubbing in soft slow movements, while the other held onto my hips, determined to keep this slow, intimate pace as much as possible. Sparks of pleasure jolted through me each time the tip rubbed against my clit. Little mewls escaped my mouth as the pleasure started to build. With a grunt he sat us up, adjusting me on his lap.

He broke away and looked between us, asking permission. I nod my head. He adjusted my hips and sank me down until his full length was inside me. We stayed like that for a moment, our breaths mingling together. I wasn't looking at his face but I could feel his eyes on my body. He leaned in and kissed my forehead as he started to move. I wrapped my arms around his neck, lifting and dropping my hips in time. Slow wet sounds filled the room, sounding filthy next to this intimate feeling moment.

It was a moment wrought with contradiction. My pussy coated his dick and sucked him back with every pull. His eyes looked at me with love and care. We were both covered in oil, staining the sheets. I softly kissed him, feeling my heart burst. Our breaths and moans were untamed, dirty and vulnerable. The relaxed pace he went made sure I felt every inch and vein of his thick length. My breath stuttered as I scratched his back. Another high pitched moan escaped me as he slammed his hips into me. He smirked. I circled my hips in response causing him to groan in my ear. His grip on my hips tightened. I sucked on his pulse point as he kept hitting that wonderful spot deep inside. He set me on my back and lifted my leg to hit deeper.

It occurred to me how embarrassingly intimate this was. Modified missionary with no words and constant eye contact. It may be a sunny room but there are candles and everything. This was what I've always been afraid of. But instead of fear, I felt this huge feeling build in my chest. His brow furrowed in concentration as his eyes only occasionally left mine to watch his cock disappear inside me. I loved watching him this way. Him savoring me. I thrusted my hips in time with him, feeling my body start to tingle. A shaky breath left him as he leaned down touching our foreheads together. Our grunts mixed together as he picked up his pace. My legs were starting to shake as he shifted positions, his movement rubbing my clit with each stroke.

"I love you." He breathed, looking into my eyes. "You're so beautiful."

I felt tears prick my eyes. I blinked them away as my nails dug into his back.

"I love you too." I said my voice cracking.

He slowed down for a moment, kissing my cheek.

"I won't tell anyone if you cry." He said with a smile. "I know you've got a reputation to keep."

I laughed, the tears falling despite my earlier efforts to stop them. He stopped thrusting, staying inside me as he wiped away my tears. He kissed me softly as he started moving again. This was my nightmare. Feeling so loved and cared for like this. What if I start to need it? I can live with being hit, I can't live without being loved. Not after this. I moved my hips with his, feeling the pleasure build again. His moans mixed with mine and echoed off the walls. We were both close. So very close. I felt my body start to shake, from the emotion and the pleasure. My toes curled as that tight little coil wound as tight as it could. More tears fell from my eyes as praise flowed from his lips.

"I can't get enough of how your pussy feels on my cock."

"That's it baby just like that."

"Fuck you feel so good."

Every single praise accompanied by delicious hard slow strokes. His breathless moans in between. My head fell back as my back started to arch. I'm close. Tears falling. He wiped them, never stopping his stride. Never letting up.

"Katsuki...!" I whined, my legs shaking.

I wanna reciprocate. I don't know how. You're so perfect. You're everything. Please know I feel this about you.

"I know baby." He breathed, leaning down to bite my neck, thrusting into that perfect spot.

I twitched and spasmed as I came all over his cock. It hit me all at once that all I want is this. Him. He kept stroking, helping me ride out my orgasm, raining praises down on me. And I finally decided I had to tell him something .

"I'm addicted." I panted, still coming down from my high. "I'm addicted to you Katsuki.

"Yea?" he said his face peeking up.

Oh yea...Praise kink.

An idea popped in my head. An idea on paying him back. An idea I'm a little-okay A LOT nervous about.

"Katsuki?" I said, my heart racing.

"Mmm?" He said softly in my ear sending shivers down my spine.

"Can you lay on your back?" I asked

He stilled inside me and looked at my face, a little suspicious. Then he rolled off of me, laying beside me. I got up and straddled him. My arms were at the sides of his torso, pussy hanging over his cock. He looked at my face, then down at my pussy, eyes rapt as a heavy wet drop fell down on his cock. His breath sucked in and I bit my lip before facing him. He looked at me, eyes bright with lust, anticipating what I'll do.

Please let me pull this off.

"Let's explore that praise kink, yea?" I said, my breath shaky as I sunk down on his cock.

He watched with rapt attention as I slowly sunk down on him until I was fully seated on his hips. His cock was hot and ridiculously hard. I stayed for a moment, enjoying the feeling of being full in conjunction with Katsuki breathing hard. He already looked like he was about to lose it. Good, let's keep it here. I balanced my hands on his chest, lifted my hips and dropped down. His head sunk into the bed as a loud grunt pushed out of him. I was about to go up again before he gripped my hips, keeping me down.

"Just a second." He panted.

"It's okay if you cum, I'm happy to ride you again." I said, hoping to alleviate any pressure he might've felt. "Whenever you want."

He looked at me and his cock twitched then he quickly put his head on the bed and looked at the ceiling.

"Babe not helping." He hissed and my eyes widened.

Little Shit Switch: On

"Katsuki?" I said, he groaned in response. "I love the way your cock feels inside me."

"You're the fucking devil." He groaned, his hands gripping my thighs tighter.

"Katsuki." I said, wiggling my hips. He whined. "Look at me."

He looked at me. Clearly torn between looking at me and making sure he could last longer. Unfortunately, I'm a bit selfish so I'm choosing. I placed a hand on my lower lips and spread them a bit.. He sucked in a breath. His grip on me loosened. I lifted my hips and dropped down both of us moaning together. I put both hands on his chest to stabilize myself and slowly rode his cock.

"Mmm... do you like that?" I moaned, riding him a bit faster.

"Yes...God you feel amazing." He panted, grabbing my hips and rocking me in time with his thrusts.

He hit a spot that made me cry out and a gleam lit up his eyes. He gripped my hips and started drilling into that spot over and over. My hands dug into his torso. I tried desperately to think through the haze. Loud wet sounds filled the room and I could feel that wonderful bubble of pleasure building up. I refused to come again until I get this man on the edge. This was my rodeo.

I don't need to control the ride, I just need to control him.

"You hear that baby? That's what you do to me." I moaned. "It's what you always fucking do to me."

His hips faltered for a moment as his eyes closed, the praise washing over him. He tried drilling harder into that lovely spot but the ball was in my court. We both knew it. He looked in my eyes, knowing what I was doing. Was he gonna take the bait?

"Yea? Show me." He said, never missing an opportunity for an ego boost.

Checkmate

I moved his hands off of my thighs and took his cock out. His face remained neutral but his eyes looked desperate. I repositioned myself and bit my lip, dragging my pussy up and down his dick. I tried to recreate the mindset I had when I masturbated. Alone, wanton, wanting. Shameless. Fantasizing. Even like this, his dick felt so much better than anything else.

"I sit in my room, touching myself for hours thinking about this cock" I panted, starting to get into it. "Thinking about how you look when you stroke it."

I started grinding faster, dragging myself up until the tip was at my entrance then back down to his heavy balls.

"I fantasize about everything we've done, what we could do. The way you look when you fuck me. Your stupid hands and how I love how big and callous they are because I know you work hard and it feels so good fucking you. Being with you." I moaned with a faint growl at the end.

A man I respect. A man WORTHY of respect. Nothing like him.

I groaned, faintly realizing his whole dick and most of his hips were covered in droves of my slick. I paused to touch myself, flinching at the sensitivity and scoop up some to slather on the other side of his cock before continuing my assault. Now rubbing the other side in tandem with my thrusts. Katsuki moaned, his hips starting to move, like he couldn't take it anymore.

"And that fucking mouth -" I cut off with a moan and a few desperate thrusts on his cock.

"I've never been this desperate for anyone. Never. You ate me out and you fucked me and you ruined me. You fucking own me and I can't even deny it anymore." I panted.

He roughly grabbed my hips and slammed me onto his cock. Loud quick slaps filled the room as both of us drowned in pleasure. My whole body started to tingle as I finally looked at him. His eyes were bright and wild as he propped himself up on his elbows for better leverage to fuck me. Sweat ran down his brow as he grunted with the effort.

"Hah..fuck... fuuuuck! " He groaned as he thrusted into me, now with reckless abandon.

His mouth was hanging open while he panted like a bitch in heat. His eyes glazed over for a moment before he tried to re-focus, gritting his teeth. Praise really really does it for him. And I want him to lose it.

"Just like that baby, fuck!" I said, starting to feel that coil tighten again.

I rolled my hips as he pulled them down, his grip tightened with each roll. His head fell back, he was back to panting. The occasional desperate whine interrupting his low grunts.

"You feel so good." I cooed, reaching up and tweaking his nipples.

His eyes widened as he gasped then screwed shut. I licked my fingers then tweaked and rolled his nipples, figuring out what he liked best.

"Ah...!" He whined, stuttering breaths rolling out of him. "Hah...fuck...fuck!"

A lightbulb went off then I licked a nipple and lightly bit into it. His hips slammed into me and I saw his control break. His hips started to ram into me as a string of loud desperate moans filled the air. He was unhinged, lost all control. Just a ball of desire seeking his pleasure. I could see his eyes start to roll to the back of his head as his grip faltered. I slammed my hips down, not letting up. He started to drool and I felt all my nerves come alive. He's gonna cum and I'm gonna make him .

"Fuck yea baby go ahead and cum." I said, turned on and excited. "Fill up your little whore."

The muscles in his neck strained as his body twitched under me. Halted moans rising out of his throat as his hips arched into me. His dick swelling inside me so close to the edge. I wanted to just push him, I was about to reach for his nipples when he opened his mouth, drool starting to go out of the side of his mouth. His eyes clouded over with whatever fantasy land he was lost in.

"Come on my dick baby please." He moaned, still pumping inside me like a madman. "Fucking milk me."

I reached down, stroking my clit to the sight of a brand new, out of control Katsuki. After a few furious flicks, I came hard on his dick, just like he wanted. My legs twitched, a high pitched moan punching out of me as he groaned and pumped into me. He thrusted deep inside, pulling my hips down as he came. His dick pulsed inside me, filling me with cum, spurt after spurt after spurt. He rocked my hips, using my pussy at his leisure, riding out his ecstasy.

"Oh God....fuck yes!" He groaned, grinding my hips in a way to prolong my high. "Hunnhh... thank you...!"

His back arched into me one final time before he collapsed. The only sound in the room is both of us breathing hard, recovering. Katsuki turned his head to the side, spent. I laid down on top of him, about to slide myself off of him when he stilled my hips. I smiled and rested there, watching him enjoy his afterglow. After a few minutes, his breathing calmed down. He turned us to the side and held me tight. His dick finally slid out of me.

"I wasn't so sure when you said it...but I definitely have a praise kink." He said shakily, like he couldn't believe what just happened.

I laughed. "Good thing you did, otherwise that might've been embarrassing."

"There's no universe where I wouldn't find what you just did insanely hot." He quickly replied.

I laughed again. "I wanted...to make sure I did something for you this time around." I said softly.

"Y/N you-" I put my hand over his mouth which I noticed was covered in my slick. Whoops.

He noticed and licked it off, cleaning my fingers, making me forget what I was about to say for a moment.

"I wanted...you to REALLY enjoy yourself." I said, not really able to articulate as well as I would have before seeing Katsuki lick my fingers.

"Well I did." He said, chuckling. "I don't think I've ever come that hard."

A little bubble of pride swelled in my chest. "Yea?" I said.

He leaned close. "Maybe you also have a praise kink sweetheart."

"Or...I like hearing I did a good job. Like every former honor student." I said quickly.

"Mhmmm. So honor student...you touched yourself to me?" He asked, a big smile.

"I just filled up my praise quota earlier, oh darn." I said, rolling my eyes.

Katsuki pouted. "Just tell me. You only open up at like 3pm one Thursday out of the month. Let me hear it, please."

He's....okay he's surprisingly cute.

"Fine, I have a confession, Father Katsuki." I said.

"Tell me your sins." He replied

"I did in fact, ride Katsu #1-i guess #2." I said.

"What?!" He sat up. "Like actually?" He looked like he couldn't decide whether he was turned on or irritated by that.

"Turns out sucking your dick pushed me over the edge." I said, not meeting his eyes.

"Unbelievable." He smiled.

"Yea, I had the Dynamight vibrator and it started as a joke like ha ha what if I came over this pillow and sent it ha ha ha. Then it wasn't a joke and it didn't compare to looking into your eyes but at least I got to see your eyes and the muscles and that damn costume . And I missed you! And the way you looked when I y'know. And then next thing I knew I came over a body pillow so I had to re-evaluate my life while it was in the laun-" I rambled.

"Wait, Dynamight vibrator." He said and I gulped.

I forgot he didn't know about that.

"I'm leaving and never coming back actually." I said, sitting up.

He quickly grabbed me and I struggled against his vice-like grip. He pulled me towards him, back flush against his chest.

"Don't be shy, any other toys I should know about?" He purred in my ear.

"I swear to God, I didn't buy it! Iris did for blackmail." I quickly backtracked.

"But you used it~! Father Katsuki sees through you." He murmured, voice smooth as velvet. "You'll atone for that later, little sinner."

Filing Priest Katsuki as another kink.

"Maybe I'll have you use that vibrator in front of me...?" He pondered out loud.

"Anyway! Considering that before I only had a mild, admittedly horny-driven appreciation for 'Great Explosion Murder God Dynamight '." He cringed at his full hero name from when he first started. "I'm...really fucking obsessed with you. Like embarrassingly so."

"Is there more?" He asked, intrigued.

"Nope." I said, he analyzed my face.

"Face is completely blank when you lie. Noted." He said to my irritation.

"I'm never saying anything ever again by the way."

He turned my head to the side and kissed my nose. I kept my pout. Then he turned me around and softly kissed my lips. I eventually melted into the kiss, which he ended with a smirk.

"I have something to confess too." He murmured.

"I've fantasized a lot about fucking you in my hero costume."

"What, like at work?" I asked.

He paused looking at me eyes wide. Oh he didn't mean at work....but it's kinda hot? Am I into that? Images of him fucking me over his desk in his hero costume played in my mind, tantalizing me. Yea, okay I'm definitely into it.

"Hah. I'm gonna get arrested messing around with you." He sighed, visibly willing his dick to calm down.

"So I guess I shouldn't mention handcuffs either." I said sheepishly.

"Y/N." He warned.

"You said arrested not me. The cop fantasy thing is kinda hot." I commented thinking of him in a sexy cop uniform.

"You've got a lot of fantasies up there huh." He said, amused.

"Yup! I remember teacher/student was my go to for a while there. Eraserhead had me in a chokehold during that time..." I trailed off

"You were into him but not me?" He asked incredulously. "The sleeping bag man. Patchy facial hair dude. Him?"

"He's a HOT teacher who went around restraining people with rope and/or his body. Like it writes itself. Plus umm 'Great Explosion Murd-" I said

"Alright, point taken stop please." He covered my mouth before I finished the name.

I smiled and moved his hand. He smiled back and placed soft kisses on my lips, laying us down. Then, he turned us to the side, facing each other and held me tight. He chuckled as he stroked my hair. We both sat there in the sunlight, the act so domestic it made my heart ache. We kept talking about nothing, going back and forth in lazy conversation. Peaceful. Comfortable. Loved. So so loved.

A tear ran down my face, without any warning. I swallowed thickly as more tears came down. My body shook against his as silent tears fell. I felt truly loved. How long has it been? Why did it feel like forever? After a bit, I calmed down, embarrassment crawling up my throat. I looked at him and he smiled the most content smile I've ever seen on him. He swiped the last tears off of my cheeks. He leaned in and kissed my forehead.

Please let nothing ruin this. Please.

"I won't leave." He said softly. "I promised after all."

I smiled.

"I might break if you do." I said, the words leaving my mouth before I could stop them.

I slapped my hands over my mouth.

I can't believe I said that shit out loud.

My first instinct is to run away but I can't decide in which way. A joke? Deflection? Literal sprinting? Katsuki took my hand off my mouth and kissed it.

"Guess I'd better take responsibility then yea? I'd hate to not be accountable." He said, a warm resolute look in his eyes.

I felt more emotion bubble inside me. We both know the implications of what he said. He watched my reaction as I experienced it. Joy. Confusion. Fear. Doubts. Fear. Happiness. I kept spiraling until he flicked my forehead. He pulled his hand back as I covered the spot.

"It's not happening now or for a long while." He said softly. "I just want you to know I'm serious."

"I'm serious about you too." I said, not wanting to leave any uncertainty.

He smiled as he ran his hands through my hair. We turned our attention back to the TV and sat in content silence. When the evening rolled around I blew out the candles. I should text Iris so we can get our chat over with. My phone buzzed with a text. I pawed around the bed for my phone. Katsuki went over to my gym bag and pulled out my phone. I held my hand out as he tossed it to me and I checked my messages.

Iris:

We need to talk soon.

Y/N:

Perfect timing, I was about to text you about that.

Iris:

Great, let's meet at a park somewhere.

"Hey Katsuki, know any parks?" I asked.

He put a finger to his chin, thinking. He pulled out his phone, scrolling and tapping for a bit.

"The park on 8th street is pretty quiet around this time. No tai-chi groups or anything." He offered.

I texted Iris the address of the park and she accepted.

"She's cool with meeting there." I told Katsuki.

He nodded and I found a pair of his sweatpants to put on with his shirt. I adjusted the drawstrings to a comfortable level. Katsuki grabbed his keys and I walked after him. We got in the car and drove with the only sound being soft music from the radio. I wiggled my foot back and forth to offset the stress. Katsuki grabbed my hand.

"It's gonna be fine. It's probably not as bad as you're thinking."

"I know." I said, my foot slowing down only a little.

After about an hour we arrived at the park. He got out of the car and my phone rang. Iris. I answered and Katsuki looked at me confused. I motioned for him to go ahead while I took the call.

"Hey, Yoko are you okay?" I asked, concern lacing my voice. "Auntie told me you were going through something.

-Silence-

"Yoko?"

More silence

"Yoko. Seriously you're freaking me-

"Y/N..." She whispered. Then a quick inhale "Don't trust-" She strangled out.

-Click-

Call ended.

"Yoko?" I said into the emptiness, worry fully clouding my tone.

Sweat ran down my temple. Don't trust who? What's going on? The park around me produced soothing sounds of nature around me as my body grew cold. Something wasn't right. I'll tell Katsuki after we talked to Iris. Whatever this was, should be quick, I'll just get the cliffnotes. I caught up to Katsuki who glanced at me for a long second before looking ahead. We walked a bit before we saw Iris sitting on a bench. She stood up and greeted us, her expression serious. It was dark but I could tell she finally got some rest. She looked over to Katsuki.

"It'd be a good idea if you stepped away from her." She said softly. "This went badly last time."

He tilted his head. I stepped forward.

"Just blurt it out. No more stalling." I said, feeling antsy.

She closed her eyes and breathed in and out slowly.

"It's about Hosei. He's back." She said, her expression dire.

"Hosei?" Katsuki asked.

"My ex. What does him being back have to do with anything?" I said, not understanding what she's getting at.

"He's coming after you." She continued.

I looked at Katsuki who looked just as confused.

"Do you mean like to get back together?" I said softly, feeling my head start to hurt.

"No." She said, staring at me with concern. "A part of you knows exactly what I mean."

My head was starting to throb. "No, I don't."

"Y/N" She started. "Your relationship with him is so much worse than you remember. He made sure you wouldn't remember."

Flashes of memories floated to mind. Memories beyond the yelling and hitting. Memories of crying. Memories of running desperately from something. Memories of being forced to do acts I'd never do. The pain. My head was splitting apart. I squeezed my hands on my head to keep myself together. I'm unraveling. What's happening? My quirk started to self-activate.

"Dynamight step back." I heard Iris say somewhere through the all-consuming pain.

"What's happening?" Katsuki asked, growing concerned.

I looked up and she stepped back. He forced me to hurt people. To rob people. To sleep with people. He forced me to forget that saying no was an option. He humiliated and hurt me. He fucking hurt me. Then I hurt others with a smile. I clutched my body as the ground around me started to crack. Katsuki stepped back, guarding Iris.

"Why didn't you tell me?" I said, tears flowing up under the influence of my gravity.

Why did you remind me?

The ground started to shake and I started to float in the air. I could hardly focus on anything, My head hurt so much I felt sick. My skin felt sticky and sweaty as memories rushed past too fast to process. The random faces. The bruised bodies of the innocent. The gaslighting. The unconditional compliance.

"I tried but the same thing happened." She yelled over the sound of the cracking ground. "I had to knock you out to stop you before you collapsed the building. It's why we moved." She cried, tears flowing down her face. "You completely forgot, every single time I tried. It was like you reset."

Suddenly I remembered.

Pressure built in my head as her arm squeezed my neck tighter.

"I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry!" She chanted, her breath strained with the effort.

I could see her through the broken mirror in our old living room. Her face was stained with tears. When she pressed her face on my body I felt the hot tears on my neck. Her arm was full of scratches. Her foot collected blood as she used the glass ridden ground for leverage. Stuff was floating around the room.

"I'm sorry. I'm so so so sorry." She sobbed as I started to lose consciousness.

The last thing I heard was stuff falling and a knock on our door.

The pain from my head radiated to the rest of my body, consuming my thoughts, my abilities, everything. She tried three times and they all ended the same way. I hurt her too. I'm a monster and couldn't even remember it. I sobbed. From the pain. From the memories. Katsuki whirled towards Iris, teeth clenched.

"Iris, what happened? What did he do? Why is she freaking out?" He yelled.

"Hosei, he-" She started.

A spotlight shone on my body from a helicopter. A voice yelled out.

"Y/N L/N. You are under arrest for the robberies of several stores and participating in plots of terrorism against the state."

"What?!" Katsuki yelled at the helicopter.

"Kacchan." Deku said. "We've got video evidence of her crimes. Thanks for leading her here." He said, stepping up to me.

I felt my heart clench. What did that mean? I looked at Katsuki who violently shook his head, looking from me to Deku. Iris looked at Katsuki, eyes narrowed.

"What the hell do you mean?" Katsuki yelled at Deku.

Deku ignored the question and grabbed my body, slamming me into the ground. I tried breathing in but couldn't catch my breath. Every attempt at inhaling hurt more and Deku watched on blankly. Katsuki roared and charged at Deku before Chargebolt electrocuted him and Iris. They slumped to the ground as Cellophane hesitantly tied them up. Deku leaned down, his weight pressing me further into the ground. I felt my consciousness start to slip away.

Deku POV

I could feel eyes on me and decided not to look at them. We had to track Y/N's phone to triangulate her location. The google search on Katsuki's phone wasn't enough to verify. I thought back to Yoko, silently crying in our investigation room. This felt so wrong. A small buzz came from Y/N's pocket. I looked around for the source and pulled out her phone. Texts popped up in her notifications.

Yoko:

Y/N please call me when you can.

This guy approached me, this really bad guy.

I'm so sorry. I told him everything. I couldn't control it.

Please forgive me.
