A/N my entry for neohub event! Dedicating this fic to people who heart, reblog and comment stuff. Real MVPs you are! 💚💚💚 

The weather outside was perfect – perfect to stay at home and stream. In fact, it was raining cats and dogs. According to your boyfriend, who moonlighted as your private weather forecast presenter, the storm was coming. Jaemin went on and on about how you shouldn’t leave your shared apartment unless it’s absolutely necessary. If there was no other way to convince you to stay inside, he nagged you to wear warm clothes and take an umbrella.

Thankfully, you didn’t feel like leaving your house under any circumstances. You were supposed to go to the gym, but you changed your plans to playing your favorite game – the Sims 4. After all, it’s been quite a while since you had a chance to enjoy the game experience.

“The game is so glitchy,” you complained when the public lot on which you wanted to hold a wedding ceremony for your Sims glitched for the hundredth time. “Seriously, guys. Don’t get the newest game pack. Wait until they fix all the bugs first.”

mortimergothrawr| 20:43 | can’t you just turn the pack off in the settings?

You looked into the comment section of your live stream, wishing that turning off the game pack was an option. “Unfortunately not. I got it, and now I gotta suffer the consequences.”

Sighing, you decided to give up on marrying your Sims. The officiant didn’t show up, the guest didn’t want to do anything once they sat their asses down to watch the ceremony, and for some reason, your Sims refused to cut the wedding cake.

“I am done,” you groaned when your game froze when you tried to make your Sims elope. “I am so done with this. Who needs marriage anyway? Cohabitation is just as fun, isn’t it?”

watercowplantsdaily41 | 20:45 | which game pack is actually worth the money?

Waiting for the bugged game to unfreeze, you looked at the twitch chat. “It mostly depends on what you like to focus on when you play. I’m all about gameplay, so for me, it’s definitely parenthood,” you blabbered, naming all the perks that you could list off the top of your head.

donlotariohotdaddy | 20:47 | do you plan on inviting your boyfriend to stream with you?

You read another message and cringed mentally, remembering the last time Jaemin joined your stream. It was a fun experience, but you weren’t ready for it to occur again.

First of all, Jaemin doesn’t know anything about gaming. It was a nightmare to sit next to him and watch him play. Jaemin was polite and tried his best to create a decent-looking Sim, and all of the viewers seemed to enjoy the stream (mostly your reactions, though; especially when Jaemin did questionable things or spilled embarrassing facts about you.)

Second of all, you doubted Jaemin would like to participate again. You would hate to force him to do something he didn’t want, so you had to figure out an elaborate excuse.

“I don’t think he will anytime soon. Jaemin’s really busy balancing both university and work,” you politely answered when you exited the save and returned to the main menu. “I’ll let you guys know before if he ever decides to join.”

woofwoof17 | 20:51 | you’re so cute together. I hope we can see the both of you soon

“What should I play now?” You asked, scrolling through your long list of saves, not knowing what to focus on. “Anyone got any suggestions? Should I build something? I haven’t built any starter homes in a while…”

godcompexhitsbad | 20:57 | have you got any new mods to show us?

“I haven’t got any new ones ever since we got the last big update,” you replied, scrolling through the comments to find inspiration. It’d be a shame to end the stream so soon, especially when you didn’t get a chance to play properly…

sulsul123 | 21:01 | have you played the scenarios yet? The power couple one sounds fun

thesims2dabest | 21:01 | naaaaurrrrr they are too easy

caliente_nina67 | 21:01 | they’re like community challenges but for dummies

You watched people argue in the chat and occasionally shared your opinions on the matters. Although the topic wasn’t particularly controversial, quite a debate emerged, which you eloquently concluded with a short statement – fuck capitalism.

“Actually, I have never finished my 100 baby challenge when I think about it,” you wondered, trying to find that save. “It’s been ages since the last time I played it.”

toddlersdeservebetter96 | 21:12 | we’re in for a marathon, besties

With the help of your viewers, you found the right save and let it load. According to your thorough family bio, your Sim just gave birth to baby number 52, about to start looking for another donor. Your matriarch didn’t have it easy; based on your family tree, you made your Sim suffer from six twin pregnancies already.

“Oh my god, the house is awful,” you cringed at your old build. Your skills have improved significantly since the last time you played that save, so it was time to provide your Sims with a beautiful household they truly deserved.

Firstly, you moved all necessary items to the inventory. You were on the budget, and you didn’t want to sell appliances and decorations for a depreciated price, only to buy the same exact ones twice as expensive.

Taking your viewers’ pointers and suggestions, you spent almost an hour building a new house for your matriarch and the kids. It was fun to engage with other players, especially when they gave you great ideas on how to decorate the interior.

“Hmm… now that I think about it, I should give my Sims a makeover. I wanna pluck my eyes out when I see all these base game outfits. What was I thinking?” You joked, popping into the Create-a-Sim center.

fatherwintersbaby19 | 22:31 | not all your Sims looking like NPCs

nomoreideasforusernamessorry2 | 22:31 | you seriously play with your townies, lmfao

people.dont.read.these.anyway | 22:31 | cottage living pack has so many cute outfits

“I shouldn’t base an entire look on a nail polish, should I?” You pondered, contemplating if you should begin your makeover from the start again. You somehow made your matriarch look cute. However, when you could see the final outcome, all colors seemed to clash.

giveaustheburglarsback | 22:45 | you’re overthinking it. Your Sims look adorable

“Aww… thank you so much.”

whoremembers11 | 22:51 | I have to go now. Are you going to stream during the weekend?

“I don’t know. I’ll be watching the new season of Bridgerton with Jaemin,” you answered, entering the game mode. “He’s been really excited about it, and I can’t ditch him,” you giggled as you wondered what kind of dramatic reaction Jaemin would give you if you actually had the audacity to choose gaming over a Netflix marathon with him.

Focusing on the game, you took care of your Sims’ needs. Your children went to school, leaving your matriarch with the toddlers who desperately needed to be potty trained.

“Who should be our next baby daddy?” You asked your audience as you opened the family tree, attempting to see who you had already woohooed with. You’d feel embarrassed if you tried to court one of your previous donors. That would be a rookie mistake you’d hate to make.

“Occult babies count double. Should we woo Vlad? Or maybe Father Winter? Wait– does he even count as an occult Sim? I don’t think he does,” you thought, rambling to yourself, trying to make the best choice.

Despite your indecisiveness, the people on your stream helped you choose your next target. Without much trouble, you invited Knox Greenburg over. Quickly, you discovered his traits and swept him off his feet with your flawless coquetry.

“Should I randomize the woohoo place?” You asked, and everyone in the chat seemed to love that idea. “That’ll be one hell of a date if you ask me,” you commented while typing all woohoo spots in the online randomizer. “Here goes nothing,” you muttered, letting the wheel of fortune decide your matriarch fate.

Much to your dismay, your next baby was to be conceived in a dumpster. Maybe it wasn’t the most romantic option, but you hoped it would be, at least, efficient.

With determination written all over your face, you continued your game. Your matriarch took care of the children and worked from home on her cat video creator career.

“She’s going into labor!” You yelled in excitement when you got the notification. Quickly, you deleted the action queue, sending her off to the hospital. “Guys, it’s happening. Say hello to baby number 53. I really hope it’s a girl.”

It was a boy.

“Do you guys have any name ideas?” You asked, looking for suggestions. “Oh my god, the weather outside is terrible. I just heard a really loud thunder,” you added as you craned your head to look through the window. “I know it’s a stupid idea, but should I name him Thor?”

Just when you were to save your progress and end the stream, you got another pop-up notification – your matriarch just gave birth to twins.

It was a girl.

“What? Twins? How am I gonna raise them all at once?” You muttered in worry, knowing how much work it required to bring up more than one child on a short lifespan. “Okay. An idea. Would it be too much if I named her Hela? Never mind, I am naming her Hela.”

You were getting pretty tired – your eyes were getting dry, and you needed to rest. It was definitely your cue to end the stream and tell Jaemin to stop napping on the couch and join you in your bed. After all, it was almost midnight.

“What the hell? No way,” you breathed out, unable to comprehend what just happened. “Triplets? Is this for real? Are you freaking kidding me? What are the odds?” You shook your head in disbelief. “Actually, I know the odds – one percent.”

It was another boy.

sellmefootpics18 | 23:43 | please name him Loki

Without any hesitation, you entered the suggested name. You were desperate to end your stream now – you had enough surprises for one sitting.

Unfortunately, before you got to save and exit the game, you saw a bolt of lightning followed by thunder and a blackout. Within a second, the electricity was gone, and so was your game progress.

No, no, no, no, no.

“AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!” You screamed at the top of your voice, ready to break something. Cursing under your breath, you clenched your fists, letting frustration take over you.

“What happened? Are you hurt?” Jaemin asked in worry as he rushed through the doors, alarmed by your shouting. “The lights are out. Are you alright?” Jaemin scurried to your desk, making sure not to blind you with the flashlight.

“I haven’t saved my game,” you confessed, resting your forehead on Jaemin’s shoulder when he crouched down in front of your gaming chair. Gently, he wrapped his hands around you, letting you calm down in his arms.

“It’s okay,” he whispered, tightening his embrace. “Wanna talk about it?” Jaemin offered, and you straightened up and looked him into his eyes. “Let’s lie down before you tell me everything that happened in your game.”

Jaemin was a perfect boyfriend – he knew what to say, how to say it, and most importantly, when.

Gently squeezing your hand, he helped you get up and led you to the other room. The bright beam of the flashlight illuminated the floor as you walked to your bed, trying not to step on anything that was scattered by your feet.

“I was really worried when I heard your scream,” Jaemin confessed as he watched you crawl under the sheets, throwing the duvet over your head in defeat. Smiling at your adorable antics, Jaemin lay down next to you, pulling you against him, spooning you. “What happened?” He asked, and you turned around to face him, peeking at him from beneath the blanket.

Having lit a peach-scented candle by the nightstand, Jaemin wrapped his hands around your frame, letting you ramble. Although he had no idea what you were talking about, he listened to you attentively. He found your passion adorable, and admittedly, he could listen to you prattle for hours.

His right hand travelled all over your hips and your lower back as he gently nodded his head, consuming all the information.

“You don’t understand. Do you have any idea what the odds are?” You asked dramatically, huffing in frustration. It was quite an achievement, but it was all for nothing.

“One to a hundred, yes, you’ve mentioned it only a couple of times,” Jaemin giggled, brushing hair out of your face as he pressed a fond kiss against your forehead.

“Sometimes I envy you,” you whispered, pouting. “You’re laid-back and always relaxed, and you don’t have a single ounce of competitiveness in you,” you carried on as you played with the hem of his hoodie, hoping you could absorb some of his nonchalant energy and de-stress.

“You’re hot when you’re passionate about something, though,” Jaemin argued back, ready to elaborate that your enthusiasm was one of the reasons why he loved you so much. You were always devoted to everything you put your mind to, and your motivation to get all of it done to perfection was admirable about you.

“Thank you, Jaemin,” you said, leaning forward to give him a gentle peck.

“We could practice if you want,” Jaemin offered, and you raised your eyebrow in suspicion.

“Practice what exactly?” You asked in curiosity, narrowing your eyes at him, hoping he’d clarify. “Do you want to teach me how to chill, or what?”

“I meant your game challenge,” Jaemin admitted, and you laughed, poking his side.

You looked at Jaemin in confusion, trying to decipher his odd statement. What did he mean by practice? The power was gone; there was no way in hell you could start the game and try it again.

“Why are you smiling like that?” You inquired, twisting your facial expression in distaste.

“Like what?”

“Like a sex offender,” you replied honestly, and Jaemin burst out laughing. “Stop doing that.”

“How can you be so dense? I mean us, practicing,” Jaemin groaned as he grabbed you by your hips and pulled you closer, giving you an obnoxious kiss. “Like in real life.”

“What the hell?” You raised your voice, trying to untangle yourself from Jaemin’s arms. “Are you kidding me? It’s not something you can practice! And even if we could, we’re not ready. And how do you expect us to have triples? Are we even genetically potent for that? I mean… my mom is a twin, and everybody knows it likes to skip a generation, but still… it would be very immature of us, don’t you think? Also, can you imagine having triplets? Wild, and think about the stretch marks; they must be pretty bad after having triples,” you rambled, but Jaemin’s genuine smile he had when he looked at you never faltered.

“I’ve given it some thought, and I think we’re ready, but I understand your worries,” Jaemin genuinely answered, staring into your eyes. Did he think about having children with you? He must’ve had everything already figured out – the mortgage and the kindergarten were probably included in that thought process. “We could play pretend for now. You know… to see how we feel about it.”

You were deeply touched by Jaemin’s heedful words. Although he seemed ready to start a family, you didn’t feel pressured to make up your mind. Jaemin simply made that proposition for you to consider, willing to wait as much as you’d need to.

“Play pretend how? I’m on the pill, and you’ve been nutting inside me ever since. How is that pretending?” You answered, giggling when Jaemin pouted in slight annoyance.

“Roleplay! Role-play! Haven’t you heard of it?” Jaemin yelled, dramatically rolling his eyes. “Roleplay, woman. As in breeding yes, baby no. What do you think?”

Instead of giving him an instant reply, you only hummed, thinking his proposition through. You were taking your pills regularly, so the chances of getting pregnant were low, almost nonexistent. The only thing you dreaded was that you’d grow to like that type of roleplay a bit too much.

Jaemin suggestively winked at you a few times, interchangeably blowing you innocent kisses, hoping it could convince you. Your lack of reply made him slightly anxious, but when you smiled and nodded your head, Jaemin heaved a large breath, not realizing he was even holding it in.

“Awww… you want me to put a pretend baby in you,” Jaemin cooed, sliding his hand under the hem of your (his) hoodie, pulling you even closer. “You want me to fuck you full of my cum and make your belly swell,” he teased, and you hid your face in the crook of his shoulder, hoping it was enough to cover all signs of your embarrassment.

“Stop it,” you whispered, but your words didn’t carry their gravity. Giggling, Jaemin gave your neck playful kisses, obnoxiously pulling away with an over-the-top mwah sound.

“Let me take care of you,” Jaemin said as he propped his weighed on his elbow, taking in all of your beauty. “Tonight is all about you,” he added and pressed a chaste kiss against your forehead.

“You better mean it,” you smiled, letting Jaemin do whatever was currently occupying his mind.

“Have I ever not?” Jaemin challenged with a raised eyebrow, but when you were to talk back and tease him, he pulled the hood on your face, shutting you up before you even managed to say anything. “Don’t you dare lie to me; you always come back for more.”

“That is true,” you replied, pushing the hood off your face. “You’re too good for me,” you admitted as you reached down to the hem of the hoodie, pulling it over your head, revealing your bare skin to him. You spent the entire day inside, so it wasn’t just pointless to suffer from wearing your bra. For Jaemin, it was a pleasant surprise to discover there was nothing underneath the thick hoodie.

“You streamed like that? Naughty,” he commented, staring at your bare chest, admiring it. When watching wasn’t enough, he stretched his arms to fondle your breasts, making you hiss when he squeezed them unexpectedly.

“Relax, the camera was set to film from my neck upwards,” you clarified, so Jaemin could drop his possessive boyfriend act. Besides, even if your chest got caught on camera, your curves were concealed under the hoodie. It was so big and thick you were just a shapeless form. “There’s nothing worth getting jealous over.”

“Of course, there is,” Jaemin argued, willing to shower you with compliments and screeds on how others envy him for dating you. “Have you seen yourself? Even dressed like a goblin, you’re gorgeous as fuck,” he added, judging your sweatpants. Although Jaemin loved when you dolled up for him, he felt just as attracted to you in your comfortable home wear.

“How about we get back to the let-me-take-care-of-you part, hmm?”

“We got a bit sidetracked, didn’t we?” Jaemin grinned as he leaned forward, peppering your neck and cleavage with delicate kisses, kneading your breasts. “Imma prep you so well,” he whispered when he slid his hand into your panties, flicking your clit with his skillful fingers.

“Just take it all off,” you urged as you pulled down your sweatpants together with your red lacy panties down to your mid-thigh, letting Jaemin take care of the rest.

“Huh,” Jaemin whispered upon seeing your fancy pair of underwear before he yanked it down your legs and tossed it onto the floor. “That’s what you wear underneath all of that?” He asked, still comprehending your fashion choice. Were you planning to have him dick you down?

“All the plain ones are in the laundry,” you commented, innocently batting your eyelashes.

“It’s your turn this week, so of course, you let it pile up,” Jaemin tsked as he got rid of your socks, so you were lying completely nude in front of him. “I have an idea,” he added, quickly looking away to rummage through your nightstand. “How do you feel about it?” Jaemin asked, showing you the cute purple vibrator which you both liked to use from time to time to spice things up.

“Yes,” you replied eagerly, knowing Jaemin would put you through sweet torture with it.

Smirking, Jaemin turned on the device and pressed it against your clit, letting it gently tease you with the slowest setting. “It feels nice, doesn’t it?” he cooed as he watched you roll your hips, trying to apply more pressure.

“Mmm… keep going,” you purred as you shut your eyes close, letting the pleasure slowly build up. With the toy still against your core, Jaemin leaned in and sucked your left nipple, providing you with extra stimulation. “More,” you whispered, and Jaemin surprisingly complied with you, switching to the quicker mode. “Fuck.”

“You’re so wet already,” Jaemin commented as he looked at your drenching entrance glistening with your essence. “I could slide right in, but I’ll wait until after you come,” he teased, rubbing your juices all over your folds. “Should I turn it up more? I can’t wait to see you writhe,” Jaemin suggested, and you nodded your head, unable to say no to him.

The tip of the vibrator dug into your clit, making your legs shake, and it was only on speed 3 out of the possible 5. Jaemin’s sinful words must’ve got to your head a bit too much than you’d like them to. Tonight you were exceptionally sensitive, and Jaemin wouldn’t take it easy on you. Quite the contrary, he’d please you until you wouldn’t be able to take any more.

That’s how much he loved you.

“Why did you stop?” You whined when Jaemin turned off the device. “Nana,” you whimpered, hoping your begging voice would make him turn it back on.

“It wasn’t me,” Jaemin answered as he creased his eyebrows, studying the vibrator. There was only one explanation on why it would randomly switch off, and you groaned, blaming it on your bad luck. “I think the battery is out,” Jaemin delivered the news after inspecting the device, and you held back a frustrated sob. “Sorry, babe.”

“Where is your power bank?” You asked, not even trying to conceal your desperation. “We could charge it up. It’ll be ready just in time for round two,” you bargained, but Jaemin only offered you an awkward smile which was a pretty good indicator your plan wasn’t going to work out.

“I don’t have it,” he revealed, and you pouted, heaving a deep sigh. “I‘ve lent it to Jeno. He’s going on a hiking trip this weekend, so I let him have it,” Jaemin explained, smiling sheepishly.

Jaemin was too good for his own good. Of course, charging your vibrator during a blackout wasn’t one of the reasons why Jaemin had made that purchase, but Jeno was going on these silly hikes way too often to not have his own charging device.

“Don’t worry. I’ll eat you out just fine,” Jaemin spoke up as he climbed between your legs to cup your clit, sucking and tugging it. Although it was a different type of sensation, you quickly forgot about the damned toy when Jaemin’s mouth was getting you all worked up.

“Nana–“ you moaned, gripping the sheets when his tongue lapped all over your folds.

“I’ll make you all nice and wet for my cock,” Jaemin whispered as he pulled away to stare at your drenching cunt and stretch you with his long fingers.

“Yes, Nana,” you chanted his name, feeling your orgasm approaching. “I need your mouth back,” you groaned as you groped your breasts, kneading them. Having listened to your desperate pleas, Jaemin leaned in to cup your sex, flattening his tongue against your clit. In an instant, you lost your grip on reality as the powerful heat of your orgasms washed through you.

Jaemin’s hands and mouth moved in sync, guiding you throughout your peak.

“You look so pretty like that,” Jaemin shamelessly commented as he stared at your post-orgasm form. Your eyes were closed, your bottom lip in between your teeth as you basked in the pleasure. How much Jaemin wished to have better lighting than a single candle – he’d take so many photos of you for his personal collection.

Looking at you fondly, Jaemin wiped his jaw with the back of his hand.

“How are you feeling?” Jaemin asked as he lay next to you, caressing your body. His hand ran down your side to rest on your bare butt and give it a playful squeeze.

“So good, Nana,” you whispered, cuddling closer to him, nuzzling your nose in his hoodie.

“Just tell me when you’re ready, and we’re making babies,” Jaemin said, undressing himself in haste. Though it wouldn’t be any different than all the other times he nutted inside you, the fact that you were willing to try out roleplaying excited him a great amount.

“I want to suck you off, though,” you confessed, stretching your arm to give him a couple strokes, but Jaemin was quick to slap your hand away.

“We’re not doing that tonight,” he ordered as he got on the bed, right between your thighs. “Every drop of my cum is getting inside of you,” he clarified, and you rolled your eyes, muttering under your breath that you’d just have a taste. “Just think how hot you’ll be all knocked up, swollen with our baby,” Jaemin carried on, and you got dizzy by just thinking about it.

“Can I, at least, ride you?” You asked, pouting. It was your secret weapon – when you looked at him like that, there was no way he could deny you.

“Come here,” Jaemin smiled at you and massaged his thighs, mentioning for you to sit down on them. Giggling at him, you sat astride, letting his veiny cock brush against your folds. “Are you still sensitive, babe?” Jaemin cooed, and you nodded your head while adjusting your position.

Carefully, you raised your hips, and Jaemin aligned his erection with your entrance, letting you slowly sink down his length. You could feel every vein on his cock as it brushed against your walls.

“Nana,” you breathed out as you wrapped your arms around his neck, pulling him against your chest. “I’ll go slow, okay?” You muttered, and Jaemin hummed, letting you choose the pace.

At a rather unhurried pace, you began rocking your hips up and down. Jaemin’s hands were all over your back as he held you close, sucking your nipples.

“Ah fuck,” you moaned, arching your back, already feeling another orgasm approach.

“You’re doing great, love,” Jaemin moaned, trying to control his voice. The way your walls squeezed around his erected cock got him to feel dizzy. Despite the slow tempo, you rolled your hips when he was deep inside of you, making him lose his mind.

You loved when Jaemin was vocal in bed, and right now, he was moaning filth straight into your ear when you rode him. One second, Jaemin was whispering the nastiest things, only to shower you with compliments on how well you were squeezing around him later. At this point, you had no idea which side of him turned you on more.

“Nana,” you groaned, shutting your eyes close. Driven by lust, you quickened your pace in desperation, already feeling tiny sparks of your approaching peak all over your body. “I won’t last much longer,” you admitted, tightening your muscles around his throbbing erection.

“Shit, shit,” Jaemin cursed as he started to pound from beneath, bottoming out. You drove him crazy, and he couldn’t hold it in anymore. You were squeezing him so nicely – Jaemin needed to fill you with his cum.

Jaemin’s cock was pulsating inside of you, and your sensitive clit brushed against his pelvic bone every time you bobbed up and down. After the first round, it was too much for you to handle, so you came, shouting Jaemin’s name at the top of your voice when you did.

“Everybody in our building knows whose cock is the best now,” Jaemin cheekily commented, fucking you through your bliss. “I’ll carry that title with pride,” he added as he cupped your mouth, shutting you up with a passionate kiss.

After a few thrusts, Jaemin came undone, shooting his load deep inside of you with a throaty wail.

“Oh God,” Jaemin breathed out, “that was magical,” he added, innocently pecking your lips. “I love you so, so much,” Jaemin confessed, pressing gentle kisses all over your face.

“I love you, too,” you giggled, still high from your orgasm. “I need to lie down,” you said, and Jaemin grabbed you by your thighs and carefully helped you rest your back on the bed. His cock was still inside, preventing his cum from leaking out.

Pretend or not, Jaemin was going to roleplay this fantasy until the very last act.

“If this was real, we would’ve made at least twins,” Jaemin remarked as he slowly pulled out his flaccid cock, staring at his cum ooze out of your whole. “Wouldn’t that be exciting?” he challenged, scooping his sperm with his finger, pushing it back in.

“You can’t expect me to be on board after one time we roleplayed it,” you teased as you climbed up the bed to rest your head on the soft pillow. “We need to practice a few times more for me to agree,” you added, and Jaemin smiled, realizing you were making tiny steps in the right direction.

“That’s not a no, so I’m gonna take that,” Jaemin happily said, pulling you against his side, cuddling you. “And that’s all because of your game,” he mused with a sigh, proud of that turn of events. That seemed unreal, but Jaemin was content with the outcome.

“And now, I’m upset. Why did you mention that again?” You grumbled, trying to dramatically suffocate yourself with Jaemin’s bicep.

“We can repeat the whole process from the beginning,” Jaemin teased, biting his bottom lip as he seductively stared at you. “Just give me a moment to get my shit together.”

“Thank God you weren’t near me when I downloaded the risky woohoo mods the other day,” you mused with a playful smirk, and Jaemin cocked up his eyebrow as his interest was piqued.

“How come you’re telling me all of this now?” Jaemin yelled dramatically, regretting that he wasn’t actively enjoying your previous streams. “You gotta teach me how to play.”

“The Sims 4 is way more than woohoo mods and 100 baby challenge,” you remarked, and Jaemin resisted the urge to boohoo you.

“It’s all about deleting the pool ladder. Everybody knows that,” Jaemin proudly added in, and you just pulled him closer, shutting him up with a kiss. You had no heart to tell him the truth about the pool ladder situation. “Just kiss me.”

[sunshine304]

On to eps 25 + 26, my friends! It’s heating up!

Yang Jin was concerned because he saw Yu Wenzhi’s troups – but he definitely, absolutely was NOT concerned for Li Yan, no no! XD They keep on going together, but only... for 5 min or so? Until Li Yan tells him to go help A-Fei in town, since she can make the rest of the way herself (that worked so well before...). It’s cute how Yang Jin doesn’t want to go, but she makes puppy eyes at him and so he leaves.

I guess in the long run that isn’t such a bad decision to send him to A-Fei’s aid. 

Poor Li Yan of course meets an outpost that’s already infiltrated by Disha. At least the man helps her instead of selling her out. And then it turns out that Li Sheng didn’t even include a message, just sending her away from where the attack will happen. Oh Li Sheng... He could have thought about how the outpost might be in Disha’s pockets, though, since it wouldn’t be the first time. Anyway, Li Yan steals a horse and goes to find help.

So much stuff is happening at the same time! Yang Jin asks after the Intinerary Gang who surely will help him (good idea), while Chuchu listens in on the Elders talking about how Li Sheng is very likely dead. She is devastated. T_T

Yu Wenzhi starts distrusting Kou Dan, because she now mentions a rumoured hidden path to the 48 Strongholds. She’s all like, “What, it’s just a rumour.“ and even I side-eye her for that. He wants to set a trap for A-Fei and leaves.

Meanwhile, Xie Yun has already strongly hinted to A-Fei that it would be an advantage if they could get YWZ to distrust at least Kou Dan. A-Fei uses YWZ’s ruse for just that, basically telling Gu Tianxian that this was an assassination attempt lead by Mingfeng Sect. 

OMG the kiss by proxy!! I flailed!! Give me moooore! ♥

XY is off to distract GTX while A-Fei looks for YWZ's new hiding spot. But before that she stares into space, thrown by XY's proxy kiss. I swoon along with her. XD

Li Yan meets Li Jinrong, who was on her way back anyway since she missed her husband yet again. The army seems to have some problems, though General Wen is… perhaps downplaying? Anyway, LJR now knows that 48 Strongholds is under attack and hurries home.

Shen Tianshu has waited out the fire, it seems, and is now in front of the main gate to the 48 Strongholds. Also, YWZ’s private army has arrived. All in all, this huge combined army consists of about 30 people; 6 of them leave to find the secret path. I can’t get over the fact that the mean villains only have so few people! You really didn’t have a budget, huh? XD I mean srsly, there are definitely more people hiding at the 48 SH! XD

Look at his smug face! He always squints smugly at everyone, he’s so weird! XD

Love how XY is leading Disha around. Also happy that Wang Yibo could do lots of wirework in that scene, since he likes to do that stuff. XD Meanwhile, YWZ feels super threatened. Rightly so, asshole.

Aww the Elders Zhao and Zhang at the 48 SH want to go fighting! I actually enjoy that this show has many older characters as well.

Aaaand A-Fei has found YWZ! And she fights! And then there’s Yang Jin and the IG to the rescue! I love how they’re all fighting, while YWZ just stands there and watches with Kou Dan protecting him. Kinda. I cheered for the IG just fighting with big sticks and whatever else was at hand against that trained (? I assume) private army with swords – and they win by brute force. XD

A-Fei is all confused and Yang Jin explains, “I met Li Yan on the road and she started crying. She’s so annoying, I can’t say no to her!” He is so whipped. XD

YWZ really is a totally useless fighter. A-Fei reaches him and overpowers him easily. What kind of position does that guy have in the government? Doesn’t seem to be an army position… Since they won they want to get Disha to stop the attack on the 48 SH.

Meanwhile I fucking knew it that Ma Jili would betray them! Did he actually kill that one Elder? Or did they really encounter Disha and the Elder got killed there? Hm.

Anyway, look at Chuchu grabbing a sword! That was cool, you go queen! Though she didn’t get to use it, I’m sure there will be another chance for her to fuck some shit up!

A-Fei is so devastated that Uncle Ma betrayed her. I feel you, A-Fei. And then Uncle Ma feels guilty (or… was also misled by Kou Dan?) and fights KD, which doesn’t end good for him. 

That fight between A-Fei and KD was really cool. Loved how they used the end credits song! I’m a sucker for that song! A-Fei gets her revenge and doesn’t even watch KD die.

Seriously, those poor kids will all be so traumatised. Yeah in CQL they all went to war at 19 or so, but they at least all had fighting experience in a real life situation against monsters, fierce corpses and whatnot. The kids from 48 SH grew up sheltered with this kind of fighting just a theoretical exercise. 

OH nooo Xie Yun uses the super power needle! O_O He sees that 48 SH will likely lose (how, against only 20 Disha ppl, IDK…) and decides on that, because he can’t lose A-Fei.

Look at his conflicted face!!!

He also throws some exposition in there, that Chuchu’s necklace is the main key for the HTYS which he is looking for. Okay. Whatever, now pls fuck Shen Tianshu up, my man.

He does. He also tells A-Fei that he wants to enjoy himself here. (Meaning he doesn’t have long afterwards anyway and wants to go out with a bang I guess. T_T) STS is shocked because it seems that Xie Yun has some SERIOUS FIGHTING SKILLZ.

This is getting really long... XD

Xie Yun fights and it's pretty cool! A-Fei also keeps fighting, but she gets weaker, and also seems overwhlemed by the situation. I can’t blame her.

And then Li Jinrong signals her arrival and Shen Tianshu kinda panics while A-Fei decides that this is a good moment to faint. She does a lot of fainting in this show.

Have this gif for the drama of it all. XD

Yay, Chuchu has found Li Sheng! She had to wade through some corpses for that at the river bank, but she is a badass and doesn’t care. MVP Chuchu! ♥

Excuuuse me!? STS punches (!!) Li Jinrong's horse. Seriously, asshole?! WTF?! LJR fucks him up anyway, destroys his metal hand (he later has a new one so I guess he just... has a lot of these things lying around?). Disha + YWZ’s troups finally retreat, and Chuchu immediately tells them where Li Sheng is. He is now safe, yay!

Okay this shot of LJR is really cool.

There LJR goes again with her tough mother routine. XD A-Fei is awake and happy to see her; she also aks after Xie Yun, and her mother is like, “Do you know who he is?” and A-Fei conveniently does not mention that she knows he's royalty and just tells her the important stuff like, “He does poetry and songs to make a living.” LJR just dismisses her with, “We'll talk about him later.” Oh oh.

Cute scene with A-Fei and Li Sheng, who tease each other good-naturedly. Li Sheng now can admit that A-Fei is better than him at martial arts, but he doesn't want to give up – perhaps he'll manage to be better than her one day anyway? ;D I like his growth so far.

Xie Yun comes over to flirt and invite himself into A-Fei's bedroom. XD But this time A-Fei flirts back! It's the, “I know I'm good looking, but you have to pay money to stare at me,” and A-Fei answers, “You can stare at me too and we'll call it even,” scene. XY is surprised and delighted. XD

That whole conversation between these two. ♥ T_T A-Fei knows XY so well by know that she sees through his act of putting on a happy face whenever he's worried. She wants to ask so many questions but doesn't because she thinks he won't answer them honestly anyway. T_T And she sincerely asks him if he's alright. T_T He's obviously thrown by all of this, and he talks around some things and yep, he isn't really honest. And then she asks too many questions anyway and he uses her accupoints to knock her out. My God, just talk to her!!

And there's the other ship that's shyly circling each other! Chuchu and Li Sheng have an awkward conversation, because now that it's not live or death they don't know how to act. XD He wants to look for Chuchu's brother and they perhaps could live at the 48 SH? *puppyeyes* I mean seriously, where is that kid?!

Shen Tianshu is pissed, Yu Wenzhi is too. He's going on about how Xie Yun (=Xiao Chuan) should be dead, damnit, since he was poisoned 10 years ago with that super rare and deadly Bone Piercing Blue poison (we remember, the one that 9th Madam Duan also suffered from until Li Zheng helped her). We get STS exposition that a master must've helped XY so that he survived (and the master should've died of it), but now that XY used the power needle his meridians are no longer blocked and the poison is free to circulate again = He only has a few months to live. OH NO! T_T They don't know if he's also looking for the HYTS but want to keep looking anyway; Disha masters are sent out after the two men yet again bitch at each other. XD

Sometimes it's nice to actually get some exposition here...

There's a funeral scene at 48 SH with cool music and all of them swearing their oath again to do their best with a clear conscience before Heaven, Earth, and themselves. That “clear conscience” idiom is really popular I think?

A talk between Xie Yun and Li Jinrong. She thanks him and seems sincere enough, but she also seems wary/distrustful of him (well, he fetched her ill husband to go to war again, sooo...). He yet again circumvents actually answering her questions about his former master (although I assume she at least has a hunch who he is), and he tells her she should perhaps be nicer to her daughter and compliment her from time to time. Well, I guess he's dying anyway and hasn't anything to lose. XD

She comments on his pale complexion, is he perhaps ill? Wow the passive-aggressiveness in this scene from LJR. XD Then she hands him a sigil to pass the guards and basically throws him out. Charming. Good start into that in-laws situation. XD

OMG Li Sheng sends pastries to Chuchu! ♥ And Li Yan is all excited, like, “Yes please fetch your little brother, I always wanted a little brother, that would be awesome!” XD

Xie Yun and A-Fei have a romantic stroll under the not-moonlight. ♥ They are holding hands, be still my heart! ♥  While they are hand holding we also get a MV of their best moments so far.

She tells him she's working on a gift for him, and she wants to help him look for the HYTS since it seems to be a shitty thing and she doesn't want it to fall into Disha's hands. Xie Yun would like to stay at 48 SH and of course doesn't tell A-Fei about his talk wit LRJ nor that he's, you know, dying. It's obvious that he will leave without her because he doesn't want to drag her into this (the trope of “I know what's best for you without giving you a real chance to make a decision yourself” ugh) and also because he's fucking dying. OMG. T_T

We end with A-Fei knocking on his door the next morning (where he very obviously isn't anymore) to give him her gift. Before she can actually see that he isn't there Chuchu intercepts her, so A-Fei tries to give her back the necklace. Chuchu is all like, “Nooo you keep it, it's far saver with you!” so there's that. This will surely be important later. The two girls leave for town to fetch medicine, while Xie Yun sits near the river and sadly plays his flute. T_T

[wellamarke]

i finally saw stranger things 3 and i have thoughts that i will break down by character ((they are not very deep thoughts, they are mostly love)) 

first, the kids

1. my beautiful son, will byers, for once did not have a hell ride of a season and got to smile a couple times. he took a bit of a back seat really, and i feel sorry for noah schnapp for all the ‘neck scratching’ memes he’ll be buried in now that it was basically his signature move for 8 episodes (and not even a particularly useful one) but anyway... the destruction of castle byers was one of the most heartbreaking scenes and i would have liked to see more fallout from it, but we can’t have everything. mike’s ‘it’s not my fault you don’t like girls’ line? eiiiish can we get some follow up in s4 please. (it might not be your fault mike but you’re involved lmao) so anyway. glad will got a breather season, but man when he was crying so much in the goodbye scene, i felt that. could not cope. 

2. lucas!!!!!!!! my treasured son!!!! i love him so much. he was such a hero this season! he is always down to fight with his catapult and i adore him. i love what a terrible casanova he makes. i wish there had been some kind of glimpse of him looking after max after she watched her brother die, because that’s a complicated thing for those two. but s4 awaits. i would love to see lucas take a more central role in s4, incidentally. in terms of the boys, s1 was mike’s time to shine, s2 was will’s, s3 was arguably dustin since he got the most time away from the group? s4 lucas please and thank you 

3. my angel daughter max, i love her, she’s so brave and brilliant, and she is such a good friend to el, and although billy-as-he-was didn’t deserve her, she was a good sister, too. i worry about her a lot. lucas and max better be the front and centre couple of s4, i swear. it’s their time. let them. i guess i was a little confused at first at how much max’s style changed between seasons, but i support her always, and her clothes now are so happy and cute. she’s adorable. now somebody please make sure she’s alright. where is her mom 

4. dustin, light of my life, he is a good child and i am proud of him! i have always related to dustin’s position in the friend group lmao so to see him off with his own little crew was very adorable. i love him as both steve and robin’s child and steve and robin’s parent. he is so resourceful and i love that they finally utilised gaten’s angel voice! i was so glad suzie turned out to be real and plot-relevant (kinda), please can she come for a visit in s4? thank you. 

5. eleven, my daughter, my small small child, she broke my heart so much this season and i am so proud of her for finding herself. her s4 arc of regaining her powers will be very interesting and i’m excited for her and joyce’s relationship to be developed more, because i love them both. i really appreciated them going for the angle of ‘eleven needs to exist outside of mike’, partly because the way they were behaving at the beginning of the season did seem to make sense for kids their age with a connection like theirs, and it is healthier for them to.... not. at least sometimes. el is so hardcore, i love how her dialogue is still written a little stilted while still letting her express herself. she had so many iconic lines. i can’t believe they took hop away from her. also i’m a little disappointed (but not surprised) that there was no kali.

6. mike, my child, my gangly and adorable son, he was a joy this season (even when he was whinging). you know what killed me? how TALL he was when he hugged his mother at the end, especially compared to the s1 scene after will’s “body” is found. logically i know that these are actors who are growing up but it feels like an assault every time they flashback to their tiny s1 selves, and mike is just a giant now. bless him. he is a good boy who is trying his best. i don’t really understand why he didn’t tell el what hopper had said much earlier, but he’s a silly teenage boy, so, you know. it’s like that. 

7. erica my precious daughter, oh my goodness, i enjoyed her immensely. i’m so glad she’s properly part of the crew and is beginning to embrace the nerdy part of herself. icon. priah ferguson is an entire gemstone. when nancy etc graduate to the adult storylines and mike and co are the resident teens, erica will be the lynchpin of the new generation and i couldn’t be happier about that. 

now, the teens

1. nancy was so iconic this year, DAMN. this girl never rests and i love her. i’m glad the romantic drama was minimised, just enough to keep them interesting but not so you really worried she was going to pingpong back to steve or anything silly like that. nancy is such a role model truly. she’s so brave. my life, when billy’s car was hurtling towards her and she just stayed shooting. that’s my girl. (also, she’s so gorgeous. i feel like 80s fashion happened mainly so that natalia dyer could recreate it)

2. STEVE my sweet sweet son. again, an icon. i can’t believe they actually kept him in that sailor suit the whole season. what a national treasure. when he slammed billy’s car! i cheered. i’m very proud of the person he has become and his friendship with robin is just adorable. so glad that they will be able to discuss pretty girls together now that they work at the arcade. also, maybe he could make it to the end of s4 without cutting up his face, but that’s probably too much to ask, isn’t it? 

3. robin is my entire heart, i can’t even express how much i love this girl. she’s so clever and brave and wonderful and i can’t wait for her and will to share a scene (because cOME ON the solidarity!!!). i love her sarcasm and wit, and how she just jumps into the madness and gets stuff done. a queen. welcome to the family, robin. 

4. jonathan my boyyyyy, he was lovely this season, i was so proud of him when he took the situation in hand with el’s injury (even if she ended up doing the surgery herself!) i am excited for him to be el’s big brother as well as will’s (side note: el and will are sure to be the cutest siblings) and hopefully he and nancy can continue to navigate the stormy sea of being the teen flagship without too much on-again-off-again. we get it, they’re meant for each other. loved their moment with the scar at the end. 

5. oh, billy. i will admit, i felt bad for him a couple of times, and he certainly suffered enough, not that his treatment of lucas in s2 will ever be excused. dacre montgomery really gives the most, which makes billy weirdly watchable. i will never understand why they chose to bring back the karen wheeler stuff, brrrrrrr, but, yeah. i’m glad they didn’t exactly “redeem” him, but managed to kill him off while still adding depth. (he tried to save el and good on him for that, but in the end it was joyce who stopped the mindflayer, so). 

aaand the adults!

1. murray was a complete delight, and i was thrilled to have him along for the ride. i’m heartbroken that murray/alexei will not rise, because that had potential.

2. joyce was wonderful and hilarious and brave and heartbreaking and perfect, of course. i can’t believe they’ve now killed off BOTH her love interests (as far as she knows, anyway). that poor woman. i hope she can continue in her role of best mother ever, now that she has an extra traumatised child on her hands. joyce is the true mvp. the moral strength that woman has. the brains. the curiosity. she’s a way of life. 

3. hopper, where do i start. i actually didn’t like him much at the start of the season. i get that he hasn’t had a teenager before, but he seemed to take a little too much delight in petrifying mike, especially since he knew how much it would genuinely hurt el. that seemed a bit extreme for the sake of not wanting to give a corny speech. but anyway. this man is a true trooper. so many fight scenes. and we’re supposed to assume he’s not actually dead, right? the post-credits scene in russia was almost entirely pointless (big deal, they got a demogorgon) apart from the line, ‘no, not the american’... i mean, surely that’s hopper? surely? murray is unaccounted for in the time jump, i suppose, but no way he was captured and not joyce. both or neither. man, imagine the reunion with el and joyce, if hopper really isn’t dead. i’m going with he’s not dead. we never saw any remains. kudos for still making his apparent demise pack a whole punch, though. that letter destroyed me. 

other things:

1. the turning-people-into-goo stuff was so horrifying, how do you even go about creating those visuals 

2. some of the fight scenes i kind of let happen without really watching, and just came back to see who was still upright by the end, how do people watch this stuff

3. joyce didn’t decorate her house :( in fact the magnets undecorated themselves, as a forerunner to the entire house being stripped.... wow....

4. mr clarke is an absolute beaut and i love the way he was used (although it was strange not to have dustin included!)

5. i love love love how this show operates, with different teams finding different parts of the mystery and piecing it together under fire. i love how none of them ever go, “hey, we should tell the other people who are usually involved in this stuff, chances are they’ve got themselves into it this time around.” 

6. the byers’ dog is still unaccounted for 

[mochhio]

Karasuno’s last party

Hey hey hey! Cookies! 

This is my gift for @theorangecourt‘s anniversary event! I can’t believe it’s been a year minus 1 month

I hope you like this! It’s 2.5k words of Karasuno fluff and being dorks (plus it ended up being a balm to cure recent manga induced injuries what do you know). 

Basically Karasuno’s third years are graduating and the team wants to do something for them! So what’s better than throwing a slumber party?

After Nationals, Karasuno’s third years are left with no more excuses to continue being on the team. Through February and March, the four of them are too busy with their exams, job hunting, college applications, and all the responsibilities that convey being a senior student in high school a step away from graduating. It’s difficult enough for them to squeeze some time to meet their underclassmen in the halls. Suga likes to visit the 1st years’ classes while they’re on lunch break, Kiyoko texts regularly with Yachi offering advice (she knows Yachi would be too embarrassed to “inconvenience” Kiyoko like that), Daichi tries to keep his distance slightly from Ennoshita since he doesn’t want it to seem like he doesn’t trust Enno with the team. The one who has slightly more time to come by is Asahi, he even manages to stay and practice sometimes whenever Take-chan doesn’t berate him for it.

No one doubted that the new starting team would be as good as how it had been with the third years, but their absence is felt. Not so much as how they play in court (though obviously they still have a ways to go before getting properly in sync) so much as the hole they left in the team dynamics. Everyone misses them, some more vocally than others, and it's such a waste that they were taken from the team so abruptly without even a proper goodbye!

Hinata tells Kenma all of this during one of their usual text convos, he would really want to have a bomb-ass party so they can send off their senpai properly! He knows Tanaka and Noya would help him, although maybe the rest would be a little reluctant to comply with any of their crazy plans. Still! He wants the team to do something special for them! And that’s when the idea pops, how about they have a training camp!

He tries to be sneaky and tell Kageyama first but he's soon caught by the rest of the first years. Yamaguchi and Yachi think that's a great idea! Though Tsukishima is soon to destroy any of his enthusiasm. "We're almost at the end of the year, where could you fit in a training camp? Plus, the third years are too busy as is". Hinata's solution is to host the training camp after school ends duh! And in his moment of bravado to prove Tsukishima wrong they go to Ennoshita.

"It's ridiculous." 

"It's genius!"

"In fact, it is ridiculous." Ennoshita turns down Hinata's idea without a second thought. "Tsukishima's right, even if we could fit in a camp the third years wouldn't be able to participate."

Not officially at least, so Hinata hangs on to that, "But what about a non-official training camp? The weekend after graduation?" That doesn't sound too bad honestly, and if it's not official Ennoshita has no saying in denying it and so, they go to Ukai and Take-chan. After some initial reluctance, they manage to convince them and so, the only thing that's left is to get the third years to agree. Fortunately, they agree to it! It sounds like a good idea and the best way to celebrate.

Since it’s not official they all have to chip in with a little contribution, even the neighbors association and family cooperate to make the whole thing possible. They booked rooms in the same inn where they stayed for the golden week, Ukai brings snacks and drinks from Sakanoshita and Shimada also gets stuff from the supermarket. Akiteru offers his old TV and console for them to play and watch movies, Takinoue lends them a karaoke set and helps set it (with the inn’s approval ofc) and Saeko brings proper food from her job.

They have a slumber party! They play Mario Kart, Daichi and Tsukishima are the ones always fighting for the first place. Usually, when he plays at home with his family since Daichi is the big bro he’s used to utterly destroying his little siblings in any and all videogames. Subsequently, even if Akiteru was always a big softie with Tsukki, as any respectable older sibling, he had no mercy when it came to games. So for both Tsukki and Daichi, it feels like something personal and somehow this petty rivalry ends up in the whole team dividing into two teams for the rest of the night. Older siblings vs younger ones, with the only children being picked in the end as if they were forming dodgeball teams. 

So we have the Older sibs team comprised of Daichi, Hinata, Asahi, Kinoshita, Noya, Narita and Kiyoko. And the younger sibs: Tsukki, Tanaka, Yamaguchi (he also had to suffer Akiteru’s gamer bloodthirst), Suga, Ennoshita, Kageyama and Yachi

For the first few rounds after they started playing in teams the YS were winning everything. Not even 20 minutes into it Kinoshita had to stop Noya from trying to leap at Tsukishima and get rid of his smug grin and snarky remarks. It’s getting late and someone is going to end up getting thrown a real banana to their head so they decide to start with karaoke early. Both because they don’t want to be too much trouble for the owners but mostly to have everyone at peace and far from using their controllers as actual projectiles. Also, they do have to wrap up everything early since Take-chan managed to get the school gym open for the next day so they can have one last practice as a team.

Somehow they manage to turn karaoke into a competition and despite Asahi being timid as usual, the pure raw of Noya (with Kinoshita as his second vocals), feral Suga, Hinata’s...well all of him (it seems like he injected pure sugar into his bloodstream) is enough to beat the others in any screaming competition. “It is not a screaming competition” Daichi tries to settle them down with no luck. Also, who would’ve known Kiyoko and Narita knew the lyrics to all of the power rangers intros huh. 

On the other hand, Tsukki outright refused to sing, Kageyama trips over his own tongue and they found out how tragical his timing is outside of volleyball, Yachi looks like he’s going to get a heart attack and drench her clothes in sweat. That is until Tanaka tells her they should do a duet. “But I don’t even know this song!”, “Don’t worry! It’s screamo so just let it all out” and MAN does she let it out, they won that round no doubts. Other than that Ennoshita is pretty mellow, and Yamaguchi does have a nice voice but this is a war and he’s going to need more than that to win.

Now they’re 1 to 1 and they definitely should go to sleep now but they can’t leave the score like this. So they try to settle it with a quick and simple game of charades. Oh, but how foolish were they.

Since this is technically a celebration for the third years the team decides it’s only fair to have them write the papers down. They use movies, shows, obscure references no one will guess courtesy of Suga, the team members themselves, anything they can think of.

Surprisingly it is not as chaotic as it could be, somehow they get so focused during their rounds to start bickering with the other team. The MVP definitely is Yachi, from the first action the player does she starts shouting any and all the words she can think of, it would sound as if she’s making random guesses but since she has so much attention to even the smallest of detail her guesses end up being accurate more times than not. Tanaka does pretty much the same but his guesses are way off, although he makes up for it being incredibly expressive whenever his turn to act out the charade comes. Another scary addition to the YS team is Ennoshita who is able to guess every single movie before the player in turn even finishes acting it and though no one other than Suga himself gets his own references since some of them are cinematographic Enno manages to hold a candle to those. 

Somehow Tsukki gets too caught up in the whole thing that he forgets to wear his usual uninterested façade and plays seriously, he even gets angry when Kageyama fails to guess most of the references. “That’s milk? Cheese? A cheeseburger?”, “IT’S TOAST YOU ABSOLUTE MORON”. Needless to say they lost that round by default but watching poker-faced Tsukki get genuinely worked up is worth it. When Yamaguchi gets ‘Kageyama’ he ruffles his hair over his eyes to look emo and brooding, puts on a scowl and starts making tossing noises. For a hot 10 no one talks, not because they don’t know what the word is, but because they know and don’t want to laugh so loud in front of Kageyama himself. Which is really difficult since Kageyama himself is completely oblivious and genuinely trying to figure out what Yamaguchi is hinting at until Tsukki snaps and shouts “IT’S YOU, DUMBASS”. The team can’t contain their laughter as Kageyama replies with an undignified “Huh?”. “Being around Kageyama has rubbed off on Tsukishima” Hinata quietly tells his team but Tsukki’s ears are sharp as ever and he throws his stare as daggers to Hinata.

For the other team is easier, at least in the sense that there’s no incessant bickering most of the time. But it doesn’t help that the team’s collective braincell is mostly concentrated in the other team. Whenever someone gets Suga’s cards come up the one who reads it spends more time struggling to get what it even means than actually acting it out. “But you were there when he wrote them!” “I didn’t have a clue back then and you expect me to know what it means right now?”. Asahi is better guessing than acting out, though his volume leaves much to be desired and Noya ends up being his megaphone, although he shouts everything and it is barely intelligible. He’s also the ultimate hypeman, cheering everyone up and clapping everyone's backs when they have to stand up to act. However, he’s too focused he ends up scolding the players when they’re not being clear or enthusiastic enough. Hinata is pretty good at acting out but he lets out to many onomatopoeias when he’s supposed to be silent. At first they were giving him penalties but poor thing did it so often they just decided to cover his mouth with a sleep mask whenever it was his turn. 

Despite Daichi’s confidence, he’s not exactly what you would call hip with the kids so he stays silent with a deep frown like even understanding the words themselves presents a struggle. That’s just excuses though, whenever he’s in the place of acting he spends more time thinking about what to do than doing it. “BUT YOU WROTE THAT ONE????” “I thought it would be difficult to the other team! I didn’t take a second to genuinely think about how to act out air salonpas!”. It doesn’t help either that he likes to point at stuff which is against the rules, and Suga is quick to let him know by making loud buzzer sounds from his side of the room. The job of guessing is relegated to Kiyoko, Kinoshita, and Narita. Each of them has their strong points which balance each other, still, more than one time they ran out of time because they started arguing in the middle of a charade about what it could be instead of just shouting it like any other normal person! 

Overall! The team that managed to keep it together better was...

...

....

.....

The younger siblings.

Hinata feels both Tsukishima’s and Kageyama’s insufferable stares, he instinctively turns to them and witnesses as their faces twist into matching disgusting grimaces, he also catches a glimpse of slight grins in Yamaguchi and Yachi’s faces. Suga comes up to the other three years and tells them to pick up their slack! How is it that all these kids could beat ‘em but he does admit that it would’ve been difficult if it had only been up to him. Noya is kinda bummed but he’s quick to get over it and bring the other two second years to congratulate the other team! He high fives his bro and Suga and pats all the first year’s heads (despite Tsukishima’s reluctance). Narita sighs fondly at the scary 1st years and Kinoshita gives everyone a thumbs up. Noya comes up to Ennoshita and gives him an enthusiastic slap on the back, “Good job Chikara! as expected from our captain!” Everyone falls silent.

The tension is so thick it could be cut up with a knife, no one dares to break the uncomfortable silence, least of all Ennoshita who looks so mortified he might faint at any moment.

Finally, Daichi is the one to step forward and he moves until he reaches Ennoshita grips his shoulder with a firm hand. “Yeah, the team is in good hands.” 

Somehow that feels like a punch to Ennoshita’s gut and he moves his face downwards as faint sobs leave him. Just like that, one after the other, quiet sobs can be heard throughout the room. Tears dampening cheeks but never quite reaching the ground. They’re sad tears, happy tears, tears born from frustration and relief and longing, shed for the regrets of the past and the vast unknown that is the future but most importantly they are being shed at the present moment. No one acknowledges them, but no one really needs to. During the past three years Daichi, Kiyoko, Asahi, and Suga have shed lots of tears for different reasons and they know that they’ll continue crying for as long as they keep on fighting. 

These waterfalls are not dampening the evening, quite the opposite, they’re the perfect conclusion to their high school career. The four of them helped rebuild this team from the ground up, each of nurturing in their own ways. They all have regrets and things they would’ve done differently but seeing right now their wonderful teammates and everything they’ve achieved together they can have closure and come to terms with saying goodbye and trusting the fruits of their hard work to the next generation.

Eventually, the cryfest stops and even though they try to joke to lighten the mood the 14 of them are left exhausted. They try to clean up some and get ready to take a quick bath and get to sleep.

The next day starts on a better note, they’re all excited for their last practice as a team and vigorously fill up their stomachs before giving it their all.

They warm-up and practice serves as always, or better said as ‘in the old times’. They have enough people to go 6 vs 6 and so they play as many sets as they can. Suga teases them, Daichi tells them to cut their slack, Asahi encourages them and Kiyoko supports them from the sidelines. 

They lose track of which team ends up winning, especially since they kept switching members every few sets but who cares about that.

They got to play like they always wanted to, giving it their all, as a family.
