Some ideas for Manager are them accidentally getting hit with an off course ball, learning how to play football so they can help out a bit or perhaps, for old manager (but ig young manager could work too), them having used to play football before and having the world five/the coaches help them brush up on their rusty skills so they can help the boys with overtime practice, perhaps?

Sorry, I can't say I have any more ideas beyond this

KICKED TO THE HEAD

Notes: This req is lowkey so cute! I chose young manager instead if youre fine with it hehehe, but I will try to make another one to answer the other two req because I lowkey like them.

"Hmm, next on my to-do list is to check up on each stratum. Hmm, since the closest to where I am is the German Stratum, I'll head there first!"

You found yourself skipping away to where the training field was, where you know the players were currently training. It was a not-so regular day in the Blue Lock Facility due to the fact that the continuation of the Neo-Egoist League matches will be held in 3 days time.

Hence, all players, masters and even staff were busy, slaving away in their training or jobs. You decided to just give a small peek to each stratum, wanting to ask anyone if all are alright and well-taken cared off.

As the manager, you always found yourself feeling unsatisfied if even one of the players are not very comfortable with whatever it is that is under the guise of your job. Their cleats are a bit too uncomfortable? Your bad, you didn't pick the right cleats for them! Was the bedsheets a bit itchy? Oops, you did not di your job well to make it clean and spotless.

Sure, it was a lot of pressure, but you liked it. It made you feel useful, made you feel motivated, made you smile. Were you a masochist? Maybe, but if its for the betterment of the players, you were ready to do it. After all, the Blue Lockers, Ego and Anri were not the only ones dreaming for Japan to win the World Cup.

Putting your hair in a comfortable hairstyle, you entered the training field where you can see the Bastard Munchen players were running around the field, doing simulations and other strategical work that you could not help but be impressed with.

'Wow...the places where the players are are so fitting for their playstyles! That's Bastard Munchen for you! Very logical!'

A smile was on your face as your eyes followed where the ball was passed from player to player. Watching matches, practice or not, is always entertaining for you. The cogs in your mind spinning and turning, trying to connect and make sense with all the details and information your eyes can take in.

It always feels entertaining and freeing to do this. To spectate, to watch each player. Like you were the audience of an orchestra or a mastermind behind the pieces of a chessboard. Everything and everyone felt like they were within arm's reach, like you were a puppeteer choosing not to move the strings and instead, let your dolls move themselves.

But, you know that if you so much as wish to affect the game, you can.

"Do you see anything, Y/n?"

Almost jumping due to the shock, you turned to face the French master, Noel Noa, who looked at you curiously. You have been quite close with the master strikers in the facility, especially Noel Noa, who seemed to be quite fond of you, too, finding your nature and aura quite adorable. Maybe it was because you were quite young and still naive, or maybe it was because you were always so happy and excited to learn more about the sport, he did not know.

But, what he does know is you were a very precious kid he would like to take under his wing.

"Um, its just the usual I see, Noa-san. Nothing too big! Maybe its because its just practice..?"

You tilted your head, looking down on your notebook that had many doodles and notes you made throughout the week. There were doodles of the players and what they need to improve on. And well, you were more than happy to add more to the things you already totted down.

However, due to this, you did not really see the missed shot Kaiser did, while he trained his infamous Kaiser Impact again and again. Nor did you hear the shouts of some of the players about the incoming ball, or hell, even the shwip sound of the ball as it rushed through the air and went to where your head was.

So, to your surprise, when you find yourself blacking out for a second due to a hard force impacting on your forehead, that it made you sit on the floor. It hurt, yes, and you can feel the blood dripping from your nose, but the most dominant reaction you can feel is shock.

Meanwhile, the rest of the players, were not as calm as you were.

"Oi, Kaiser, you bastard! I'm gonna punt you!" Isagi shouted from the other side of the field as he stood up, ready to fight the German striker.

"Y/n-chan!! Are you okay?!" Hiori and Ness were the first ones to run to where you are, worried about your dazed expression.

"Kaiser. Laps around the field." Noa's eyes were slanted like a hawk, as he kneeled beside you, patting your head softly to comfort you a bit.

Kaiser, on the other hand, was the most petrified of all. He knows how much force his kick had, from experience and, of course, his own knowledge of his strength. And he was very much worried and shocked, blinking his blue eyes like he saw something very traumatising.

He didn't mean to. He knows he did nof. But that did not make him feel less bad. Especially since he hurt you of all people. The only person who was not rude to him, but also did not patronise him like a certain someone (ahem, Ness), even if he acted like a douche to you in the beginning of the Neo-Egoist League.

And also the fact that you weren't like him and the other players, who were used to receiving any loose ball that had hard and forceful impacts. But even then, he couldn't move fast enough to be the first one to make sure you were okay.

"Y/n-chan, where are you right now? What team and stratum are you in?" Yukimiya also was beside you, asking questions to make sure you didn't have a concussion or any brain damage. Thankfully, you answered all his questions quite well, and you didn't seem to be hurt at all. Just shocked and a bit sore from the impact, but nothing major.

"I'm fine, everyone. I wasn't just paying attention. Sorry, everyone. Sorry, Kaiser-"

"Why the fuck are you the one apologising? You were the one hurt!" Kaiser said out of nowhere, holding your shoulder as you blinked at the mini outburst he had. The blonde-haired man was panting, although not too heavily, it was still noticeable that he was heaving due to the rise and fall of his chest and shoulders.

At first, you thought it was because of the practice, but the worried look beneath the usual nonchalance in his eyes told you otherwise.

"U-uh...sorry- um no wait- I meant, its just because you got blamed for all of it when it was an accident and now you're in trouble."

"I don't give a crap about that. Just...just go to the damn clinic...make sure...you're not having a concussion or whatever."

Like a drunkard being poured cold water, Kaiser realized that you two were not the only people in the field, and that many eyes were watching. So, he retracted his arms and turned around, trying his best to hide the confusing mixture of worry and self-disappointment as he walked back to the field.

"Are you sure you're okay, Y/n-chan?" Isagi asked as he sat beside you, Kurona sitting on your other side ontop of the clinic bed as some of the Bastard Munchen players stood infront of you, also wanting to make sure you were okay.

"Yeah, I'm fine. This is nothing."

"If you say so, but if you feel dizzy or just if anything is wrong, tell us immediately." Yukimiya said he held the ice pack to where the ball hit, while you wiped the excess blood from your nose.

"Yeah, yeah! Its bad to hold back what you're feeling." Kurona added, while Hiori was just quiet as he gave you your stuff, placing it on the desk beside the bed.

Meanwhile, Kaiser and Ness also stood beside you, Ness, along the worried ones as he patted your head softly, hopeful that it might help in some way, shape or form. Meanwhile, Kaiser and Isagi were already starting to argue, Isagi telling Kaiser to becareful next time and Kaiser being on the defensive as the two threw roast upon roast against each other.

"Your blindass is so rich, you can't even buy sports glasses? Even Yukimiya is responsible enough to do that!"

"Oh, please. I'm blind? You're fucking senseless."

The rest of players, well except for Ness who was fully supporting and backing up Kaiser, just watched with done and dotted eyes.

"Jesus, they never shut up, huh?" Hiori rolled his eyes.

"Yeah. Theyre too, too intense sometimes." Kurona added as finally, Yukimiya sighed and gave his polite smile.

"I think thats enough for today, you two. Y/n-chan needs her peace and quiet to recover."

ADDITIONAL TIME!

BARCHA

"Bachira!! We can't!!" Kitsunezato said as he tried to stop the said striker from walking out.

"Yeah, you know that Lavinho-san won't like it." Hayate added, but Bachira was far from listening.

"NO! I need to see if Y/n-chan's okay!! I'll beat that German up the next time I see him!!"

"Please, don't- C'mon Otoya! Help us out here!" But, unfortunately for them, Otoya was somewhat agreeing to what the brown and blonde haired striker was saying and Kitsunezato sensing this, immediately prayed to whatever god there was, and even better plead to Otoya, himself.

"Oh god, please don't! We have enough with Bachira here! It was an accident!"

"But there is no accident when it comes to Y/n-chan being hurt!!" Bachira fought back.

"I agree-"

"Shut the hell up, Otoya!"

MANSHINE CITY

"WHAT?! Is she okay?!" Reo panicked when he heard the news.

"I swear, its always those from Bastard. What the hell is even happening in that stratum?" Chigiri said with annoyance and worry. Why does chaos always happen in that stratum he wondered.

"Y/n-chan...is she better now?" Nagi, commented from his bed, eyes abnormally wide, like a cat roused from its sleep by a predator.

"Yeah, I heard she's fine. She didn't have any serious concussion anything, which is lucky for all of us! She just needs to rest earlier today, but she will still be able to do her duties tomorrow!" The red-haired said, repeating what he heard from Isagi.

"Good. I kind of feel bad but happy at the same time. I want her to rest, but at the same time I want her to keep working so we can see her again tomorrow." Reo admitted, his back plopping on his bed, purple eyes looking up at the ceiling lights.

"I don't want Y/n-chan to be replaced as our manager, ever..."

"I don't think anyone in here wants that to happen at all, Nagi."

UBERS

"I should've kicked a ball straight to that Kaiser's face when I had the chance."

"That is a red card, Barou, but I don't even think I would stop you. Go wild." Niko sighed. The Ubers players just heard of the news and most of them were not happu with what they heard.

"Poor Y/n-chan, that has to hurt. I remember the first time I got hit on the face, and I'm a defender so I'm used to that! But she isn't even a player." Oliver said, cringing at the thought of being hit by a ball, much less from someone of Kaiser's calibre.

"Damn straight! And those useless peasants couldn't even protect her from those guys. Those damn donkeys." Barou said, his mind towards a specific raven-haired striker that he knew was not only his main rival, but also the main rival of Kaiser and hence why, he believed he was the most responsible for you not managing to avoid the ball in time.

PXG

"Charles! We're training that new move we're planning to make it better and make it hurt for our match with those Germans!" Shidou said, clearly pissed off at the news. The French midfielder only nodded his head, cheering along with the pink-haired striker.

"Fucking lukewarms, you should do it secretly not infront of the many cameras around this damned facility." Rin rolled his eyes, even he wasn't impressed when he heard that you got injured, much less bleeding!

"For the first time, you didn't say anything dumb, Rin-rin. You heard him Charles! We're going to meet up with that German bastard!"

"Yay! Yay! We're gonna avenge Y/n!"

But unfortunately for them, and fortunately for everyone else, Karasu was there to stop the two, holding the scruff of their uniforms immediately.

"Now, now. As much as I also want to square up on that guy, we can't go monster against his ass or do you wanna be electrocuted again, Shidou?"

The blonde and pink haired striker blinked at that and finally shrugged.

"We'll just have to beat them in the upcoming games. So, ya'll better train hard." Karasu said with finality as he headed to his room with the other Blue Lock players, and that idea did not sound bad at all in Rin, Shidou and even Charles' ears.

I hope you guys liked this one! This was supposed to be fun but it turned into some sort of twisted Kaiser angst piece lolol

Chapter 4

Rating: Teen and Up

Relationships: Noa x Mae (Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes)

Content warnings: None

Comments: English is not my first language. The chapter problably has a lot of bad english, but in my defense I wrote this with a terrible headache. Anyway this doesn’t have a lot of plot, I just wanted to write something sweet between them

When Noa looked at Mae, the first thing that came to mind was her eyes. Bright blue, looking deep into his soul. Next thing he thought of was her long hair, entangled and dirty, he often wanted to tell her that she should just cut it all.

“If you are going to be a hairless being, do it right” he never dared to say those words out loud, but the need was strong.

There was a part of him, a confusing and strange part of him, that wanted to touch the brown hair and detangled every not. He has seen Mae do that with her hands.

It had been two weeks since Mae settled in the village. Noa never told the human, but it took a lot of convincing and yelling for the elders to accept her permanently into their clan. He felt almost embarrassed when he had to make an announcement to the rest of the apes, telling them that Mae was a part of them now, and that they should respect her as long as she did her part in the community. Of course, there were disagreements, but eventually most of them came to accept the Echo in the Eagle Clan.

“But going back to her hair…”

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

“Why only females… come with you?” Soona asked Mae. They were at the lake, getting clean.

“Actually, humans don´t shower next to each other… ideally” the human responded.

“Why?” Case, Soona´s friend interrogated.

“We are shy”

Mae removed her clothes and step into the water, joining the other two females, who were fighting playfully.

“Are you mom?” Case asked.

“What?”

“Your chest”

Mae felt self-conscious, she braced herself, covering up her breast and looking away.

“No, I´m not a mom”

“Oh. Echo thing then”

Soona pinched her friend.

“Chest is big” Soona explained, trying to get Mae out of her shy shelf “Only moms get chest that big… to feed”

“Oh” the human girl said, she uncovered herself, starting to scrub the dirt out of her skin “Yeah, for humans is normal. Most girls have this. You don’t have to be a mom”

They continued getting clean, and when they were done, they relaxed in the grass, watching the sunset.

“I know nobody… sees beauty in you” Case said “but I do. I think you are… pretty”

Mae stayed silent for a few seconds, not sure if she should feel offended.

“I see the beauty too” said Soona “Your body… is different, hairless, thin. But there is beauty… in that. Even if you… are not like ape”

The human smiled, she felt safe, appreciated, loved.

She felt also pretty. And that was nice

--------

“Where were you, Mae?!” Noa asked. He came running to her and almost hug her. Luckily, he stopped in time “Hair is wet”

“Calm down. I was taking a shower, with the girls” Mae said, almost ignoring him and passing by him

“What? You took shower recently” the ape started to follow her into her room in one of the towers.

“Yeah, humans need to shower often. Be grateful, otherwise you would be begging me to take a shower”

When they got into her shared room, she stopped him right at the entrance.

“Goodnight Noa” she said with a smile. This would be fun.

“Wait what?” the male got confused, she wasn’t going to let him in? Maybe chat a little bit like other nights?

“I share this room, Noa. I can´t just invite a boy whenever I want” she had this grin on her face… the ape catch on her game.

“Oh, I see. Well, if I cannot come in, maybe you should come out” he responded back, leaning into the wall.

“And go where?” Mae asked with a funny smile.

“You´ll see”

“Would there be climbing? You know I prefer walking”

“Do not worry. We take horses” he said. Mae closed the door of her room, ready to follow the Eagle Clan leader.

She started to walk when a hand stopped her.

“And by the way, if we climb, just get on my back, Echo” Noa whispered in her ear.

-------

“Are you allowed to run away in the middle of the night?” Mae asked.

They were in a green field with knee-length grass walking under the moon light and a torch.

“I am not running away” the ape said distracted, looking down to the grass, concern in his face.

“What´s wrong?”

“They should be dancing”

“What?”

“I wanted to show you the lighting dancers”

Mae stared at the ape. Was he loosing his mind?

“Wait!” Noa spoke “They are here”

Right when the girl was about to make a sarcastic comment, a firefly emerge from the grass, shining bright. Then, more of them started to fill the air. Dancing.

“Have you seen one of these?” Noa asked her

“No. I read about them. But I have never… woah”

The human watched fascinated how those little insects were producing light and just flying around, illuminating the dark night. It was truly amazing.

“Thank you for showing me this” Mae said with happiness.

“Anytime”

The fireflies kept dancing and Noa kept falling.

Sotto Voce.

Gaslighting everyone into believing you’re a really shit footballer because seeing people be impressed by your sheer lack of skill is more fun than being a genius.

FEAT. Bastard München ensemble

NOTES. uhhaua cross posted on ao3 but ajyway, thought this idea was funny and because of this lingering feeling of sadness i haha managed to Complete this?? Gosh im beside myself with worry!!

WORD COUNT. 2.2k

Isagi thinks he might be seeing things. Maybe all the relentless training in Blue Lock has finally caught up to him, leading him into a football-induced delirium, because he can’t quite comprehend what he’s looking at right now.

You’re moving across the field with a fluidity he’s only seen in pro-level players, doing tricks and turns he’s pretty sure aren’t even in his playbook. You glide past the defence, controlling the ball with a finesse that’s nearly supernatural — hell, he thinks even someone of Rin’s calibre would be breaking a sweat to try and keep up.

And you look bored while doing it. Eyes half-lidded, posture almost lazy, as if this is just another walk in the park and not you showing off world-class football technique.

Isagi’s mind races to make sense of this. You’d always been, well, normal to him.

Sometimes you’d play in a match, most other times you’d sit out on the sidelines. And he’s usually pretty sharp about these things, so it must’ve been because you just… didn’t stand out.

Yet here you are, pulling off flawless plays with little more than a mild yawn, as if winning against the top players here would barely register on your radar. Maybe it’s just luck, some freakish one-off, right?

… Nope. You just drilled another perfect goal into the top corner of the net.

He snaps out of his thoughts only when you suddenly stop mid-play, and his eyes meet yours. For a second, there’s a flicker of panic in your gaze and he opens his mouth, not even sure what he’s about to say.

“Y/N-”

You’re stomping towards him before he can even process the whole thing, your pace quicker and more full of menace than he’s used to seeing on you. You stop just short of him, tilt your head slightly, and in the calmest voice, say, “You saw nothing.”

He tries to stammer out something, but you leave soon afterwards.

────

Tripping over the ball is harder than it looks, but after enough practice, you’ve perfected the art of falling in a normal fashion. To most people, it’s convincing. Prior to a few days ago, you’d say all people but there’s a certain someone who entertains himself by boring holes into the back of your skull with an intense, unblinking stare.

You can feel it. Isagi waiting for you to slip up.

Actually slip up, instead of the falls you’ve gotten so good at imitating. It’s detestable, honestly. You’re trying to keep things as they’ve always been, and he just wants to come in and mess with the status quo!

Luckily for you, Igaguri’s too much of an idiot to harbour the same suspicions. Right now he’s too busy practically doubling over with laughter on the floor. The guy is probably thrilled to finally see someone playing the fool even more than he does. And as much as he’s a pain, he’s also the kind of person who makes perfect cover — play the role of an idiot, laugh it off with him, and everyone’s none the wiser.

So, in spite of your (what most would call) vindictive description of him, you do believe that some sort of strange pleasure is to be gained from surrounding yourself with people like him. Though perhaps that also makes you a terrible person.

The feeling is nothing like the rationale that Noa preaches about so often. It’s an undeniable truth in your heart.

Which is why you avoid the people who actually know what they’re doing on the field like the plague.

Yukimiya, on the other hand, is way too polite to laugh outright. He at least has the common sense to stifle it, reaching out a hand to help you off the ground with a quiet charm that makes people swoon. No wonder he’s a model.

Now, the imaginary audience in your mind might be wondering why you’re talking with a guy like him? Your answer: he’s not as notable ever since he patched things up with Isagi. He’s now the kind of person you can talk to without raising any brows. Again, it sounds harsh but you see it in a positive light. He’s becoming just the kind of person you adore most!

“Try and keep a close eye for stuff on the ground, alright?”

You flash him a grin, nodding. “You know me, just a total klutz all the time,” you reply as your usual happy-go-lucky self, making sure to project just loud enough for Isagi to hear.

And out of the corner of your eye, you catch that familiar look of suspicion deepening.

────

The silence that follows is brutal. Hiori and Kurona exchange a look that’s way too long for Isagi’s comfort. After finishing whatever telepathic debate they have with each other, they both stare back at him like he’s just pitched the most psychotic theory imaginable (which isn’t entirely untrue).

“You don’t believe me, do you?” he mutters, deflating a bit.

Hiori’s quick to reply, but Isagi is aware of the faintest flicker of amusement in his eyes. “It’s not that we don’t believe you. But, ya have to admit, it’s strange to hear Y/N… of all people, doing something like that.”

That’s code for what the fuck are you talking about, Isagi concludes with a grimace, his eyes shifting to Kurona hopefully.

“Crazy. Crazy.”

Kurona’s tone is deadpan, his gaze distant as if he’s trying not to laugh. Great.

Isagi sighs heavily, scrubbing a hand over his face. Maybe he is the one who’s going crazy here. It shouldn’t even bother him this much. It’s not like you’re particularly close! If anything, he can barely remember a conversation between the two of you that went beyond asking if you’d seen so and so.

And, judging by the responses he’s getting from both of his teammates, neither of them can figure out why he’s fixated on this either.

────

Noa is going on and on about practice drills, how to follow his instructions precisely, something about rationality and technique, blah, blah, blah. You stifle a yawn. If this is what being in one of the top clubs means, you should’ve begged Ego to be in Barcha instead. At least Lavinho would’ve been fun.

You hear his coaching style isn’t by any means phenomenal if you’re trying to improve your skills, but good thing you’re not planning on doing anything of the sort!

And just when you think you might actually pass out from boredom, you see Isagi walking over. Again. He’s approaching with that same cautious look, but it’s not enough to make him think twice about bothering you apparently. That’s also something that bugs you, he’s never a quitter.

You flash him an oblivious smile. “Oh, Isagi! Whatcha up to? Need anything from little ol’ me?”

You lay it on thick, voice dripping with cheerful innocence. His jaw tightens, and for a second, you swear you can see a flicker of annoyance on his face. That’s new. Your words have the opposite effect than what you had originally intended.

“Listen, I know what I saw, alright? You’re not fooling anyone.”

He launches into a whole spiel about how he’s seen you pull off moves that only high-level players can pull off, how he doesn’t care if it’s part of some large game you’re playing, how you should be using your skill to distinguish yourself.

…You really don’t give a shit, and in regards to his comments, you personally disagree! What’s the fun in doing all of that?

You tilt your head, pretending to think it over with wide, guileless eyes. Sure, you’re a little flattered he’s this invested in uncovering your “secret,” but the other 99% of you is totally unhappy.

When he finally wraps up his little speech, you just give him a half-hearted shrug with a smugness that he doesn’t miss.

“And who’s going to believe you?”

────

Kaiser likes to think of Isagi as predictable, average — someone who might fancy himself a hero but is ultimately just another small-time player waiting to be crushed. It’s almost laughable how seriously he takes himself. In fact, the only thing remotely worth mentioning about him recently is this bizarre fixation he seems to have developed on you.

He’s overheard your exchanges, and in short, they’re pathetic.

Isagi rambles on about how you’re hiding something, clinging to that delusion like it’s going to benefit him somehow. The psychology-lover inside him finds it almost fascinating in how utterly absurd it sounds.

So, when Kaiser spots you chatting with the ever despairing Grim (laughing so hard you have to hold back tears), he figures it wouldn’t be wrong to call you at least a little insane. Part of him wonders what humour could be found in the man’s deplorable monologues.

He figures he might as well join in on the entertainment. You’re far from his usual company, but you’ll do. For now. Moseying on over, his signature smirk is already in place.

He’s rewarded by the way your eyes immediately narrow in irritation, a look he’s all too familiar with and thoroughly enjoys on anyone really. Grim, blissfully unaware of what he’s leaving you to, heads off, and now it’s just you and Kaiser.

Leaning in closer, he asks, “What little secret of yours has got under Yoichi’s skin so badly?”

Kaiser waits, watching for the faintest flicker of reaction but you stay silent. How boring.

But! Not one to give up easily, he continues with a more direct jab, his voice dropping to a conspiratorial tone. The one where he acts like he knows everything there is to know about everyone. “That you’re really skilled, and this whole clueless act of yours is just a cheap facade?”

He raises a brow, as if daring you to admit it. To his delight, you lift your head, finally meeting his gaze albeit with an uncomfortably polite smile.

“I was just surprised you’re interested in something like that. But, Isagi’s a total liar. Isn’t he just so annoying? I can’t stand people who just don’t know when to give up, and I’m sure you agree.”

It’s not often someone catches him off-guard, and though he recovers quickly, the flicker of surprise is still there. Kaiser also sees opportunity however. He could work with this.

“Well, if you’re not a fan of Yoichi then feel free to join my side then,” he drawls, offering the position like it’s a dream come true. In his world, he’s already the star; what better way to elevate himself than to recruit someone.

“Ah, no. You’re both terrible.”

He can’t tell what’s worse; you lumping him together with Isagi, or the fact that you immediately walk off without giving him a chance to get the last word in.

────

“It’s like asking me if I prefer cat shit or dog shit. It’s still shit, and there’s no point in picking one over the other.”

You toss the comparison out to Kiyora, of all people — a bit of a waste since he just stares blankly at you, not saying a word. Pretty cute, actually, in a clueless sort of way.

The reality is that, at the moment, if you want a shot at the regulars, you’re supposed to cosy up to either Isagi or Kaiser. And as for everyone else? They’re can either fuck off or pray for a miracle.

Of course, you couldn’t care less about making the regulars. But every now and then, you forget there are people around you who do care, people with actual ambitions. Which is why you pause when you catch sight of Hiori and Kurona.

“Oh, Hiori and Kurona,” you point out the obvious.

They both glance your way, casual and relaxed, which gives you the impression that Isagi hasn’t roped them into his latest paranoid theories. Yet.

“Are ya heading back to training already?” Hiori asks, his soft voice and accent making it sound more like an invitation than a question. There’s a kindness to it that’s almost unsettling here in Blue Lock, but you return his smile with one of your own nevertheless.

Kiyora gives a small nod. “Yeah,” he says, brief and to the point.

You’re half-considering some excuse to slip away and do your own thing, but there’s something about the way Hiori is looking at you that draws your attention. Unlike Isagi, he’s way better at hiding it, but you can still feel his curiosity prickle under your skin.

You give him a lazy smile, leaning into the idea. “I’m already so tired from this morning’s training,” you lie, exaggerating just enough. “Honestly, going to bed early sounds great right about now.”

Morning training was barely enough to get you sweating, just a couple of warm-up drills for the afternoon matches. You doubt they have any clue what you’re talking about, which is exactly how you want it.

There’s a quiet pause, and then Hiori breaks it with a gentle but firm nudge. “Well, if yer looking to get on the regulars consistently, training more could be worth a shot.”

You force a smile that probably looks more akin to a grimace. This is exactly why you don’t like smart people. They poke and prod until your story frays at the edges. He definitely asked that on purpose! With a heavy sigh, you end up walking with them toward the pitch, despite every nerve in you screaming to veer off.

You can’t help but wonder if this is a test.

Kids would love him, but he wouldn't care either way. He is the type that kids look up to, but he doesn't necessarily seek their attention, for him kids aren't annoying but aren't exactly desirable either. They are just there.

Sendou (maybe), Sae, Michael, Noel Noa, Loki

He doesn't dislike kids, but kids are scared of him. It could be from the way he approaches them, or how he presents himself. Like from the first impression— his expression scares them away. Or perhaps its the way he handles himself on the field? He knows how to take care of kids and doesnt exactly hates them, but unless the kids are willing to give him a chance, they might be too frightened to come close.

Barou, Aiki (maybe), Rin (maybe), Dada

He doesn't like kids. Or maybe he does, but I doubt he would like it If they were all over him, especially if the kid is all annoying and stuff. He wouldn't outright hate on the kid, but he wouldn't want them near him. He might even scare them off. And kids are either afraid of him, or uncomfortable around him, so either way, it is a mutual thing.

Luna, Adam, Ego, Nagi (maybe), Otoya (maybe),

Ch 301 was so crazy for this.

Whether they deserve each other or not, romantically or not, I hope they’ll be happier from now on.

Kaiser makes me so sad some times. While I always thought his backstory was depicted as cartoonishly terrible and sad, I always felt how the abuse was written to affect how he felt about himself and approached life was incredibly realistic. Ness too, but slightly to the left.

May they proceed to do goofy and silly things together forever.

Could Snuffy adopt them? Lorenzo would be a great brother. Fuck Noa, we can make this work- I need Kaiser getting parented fics bro everyone just wants to fuck him.

[dreamweave01]

Do you know that nuzzling thing (aka baby attack) babies do? Has baby Casey ever done that to Leo or Noa?

Pulling out a random doodle from my files that actually goes with this ask-

I'm not familiar with the baby attack thing, but I can tell you that CJ was a big biter when his teeth were coming in!

Unfortunately, his favorite teething toy ended up being people.

Fortunately, (the second time around at least) Leo has a metal arm.

Other than Nardo, Noa's just about the only person that doesn't mind his child biting him whatsoever.

There isn't really anything CJ can dish out on Noa that his younger, (probably) cannibalistic cousins haven't done to him already.

꩜ⴰ ࣪˖ BLLK LOVE LANGUAGE HEADCANONS

itoshi sae & nagi seishirou

⸻ in which i'll be rating their love language on a scale of 1-10 based on my understanding of their personality + include the type of person they'd be compatible with.

⸻ [ part ii. isagi yoichi & itoshi rin ] [ part iii. bachira meguru & noel noa ]

ITOSHI SAE

ACTS OF SERVICE: 8/10. His love language is definitely acts of service. The best way he can show that he cares for you is by helping you out with practical things that you actually have trouble with. Too many groceries in your hands? He'll carry them. Need help grabbing an object from the other side of the room when you're busy with something? He's walking over and handing it to you. I feel like he'd do all those willingly so long as you don't make them feel like demands.

WORDS OF AFFIRMATION: 3/10. Not too big on words of affirmation (I mean, come on. Look at his relationship with his brother). He wouldn't be the best person to receive emotional comfort from and he might even accidentally hurt you with his words, but he's the best person to approach if you want an actual, objective perspective that can aid you in forming a solution or a decision to your predicaments. He just has the emotional intelligence of a rock.

PHYSICAL TOUCH: 2/10. Not into physical touch either. I feel like the most he'd give you is a head pat especially if he comes to grow fond of you. It's tough to break down the cold exterior of his because he's probably pretty a little cold on the inside as well. You'd have to be the one to initiate and let him warm up to the idea of physical touch.

QUALITY TIME: 6/10. If he really likes you, he wouldn't mind spending time with you, although only up to a certain extent. He looks like the type of person to have incredibly low social battery and he'd probably want personal space after hanging out for the entire day. The best way to prolong quality time with him is either (1) you watch him train or train with him or (2) you hang out together doing quiet and calm things together like purchasing groceries, or going with him to pay bills, or getting his passport renewed.

GIFT GIVING: 8/10. He's not too big on super affectionate stuff, but giving gifts is a good way to show that you care without being overly affectionate. He's probably into gifting you practical things like monthly calendars, vitamins, or anti-radiation glasses if you're in front of a screen a lot. Hell, he'd probably even buy you shoelaces if he notices that yours were starting to look wonky.

COMPATIBLE WITH: someone who's emotionally intelligent and is able to read between the lines. He's closed off and almost incapable of telling other people how he feels, so he'd best be suited for someone who doesn't get hurt too easily and someone who can see him for who he is by understanding his behavior. Personality-wise, I think he'd suit an ambivert. Someone who is capable of being outgoing to push him slightly out of his comfort zone and let him experience "life," but also someone who likes to energize by doing indoor stuff.

NAGI SEISHIROU

ACTS OF SERVICE: 2/10. Guys... this guy has zero energy for anything other than soccer or games. I doubt that he would actively go out of his way to help anyone out with anything considering how he's very preoccupied with himself and his very limited number of interests. In order to get him to help you, you'd be the one to urge him and actually tell him whether you need help with something. Still, I think he'd do the most minimal things like holding the corner of a table if you were grabbing something that fell off the floor.

WORDS OF AFFIRMATION: 6/10. He'd probably be the type of person to reassure you unintentionally. You could be worrying about something in the future and might rant to him about it, but his response would a confused head tilt and saying something like "doesn't seem like that'll happen though... just do x and y like you always do" which you could either perceive as (a) he's trivializing your problems or (b) he has complete faith in you and your abilities. Also, if he grows fond of you, he's not afraid to call you out on actions that might hurt yourself.

Exhibit A: Chigiri almost injuring himself in the Episode Nagi manga in their match against karasu's team. I think it was sweet how concerned he sounded when he thought that Chigiri might break his leg.

PHYSICAL TOUCH: 6/10. I don't think he minds too much and he probably won't recoil if you initiate because he doesn't want to go through the trouble of doing anything at all. He probably doesn't want to argue over something as minimal as hugging and he might even find some forms of physical touch to be comfortable. It depends on what it is and how much work he actually has to put into it, but he likely won't even bother to move away unless you're attempting to hold his hands while he's playing or something.

QUALITY TIME: 6/10. He's an introvert and he seems like the type to want to recharge from hanging out with someone. He might go into hiding like hanging out in the school's rooftop or some obscure place, but if you're able to spot him, he probably won't move away. I think that this guy's space should be respected, but at the same time you'd have to pull him out from time to time so that he doesn't isolate himself too much.

GIFT GIVING: 0/10. Sorry, but this guy is extremely preoccupied with himself. He likely doesn't receive gifts from people and so he also likely doesn't give them either. The most you could consider a gift is if you play games and he sends you coins, equipment, or whatever you need if you're on the same team. Outside of games, though? The idea of giving someone a gift probably doesn't even cross his mind.

COMPATIBLE WITH: someone who is more dominant and assertive. You won't be able to get anything out of this guy unless you tell him that you want something. He's suitable for someone who's able to set boundaries and is able to pull him out of his unhealthy habits such as not eating properly, isolating himself frequently, etc. but also still be able to give him space as he needs. You'd also need to be patient because of his zero energy and nonchalance.

who do y'all want me to do next? : ]

The Discovery

Kaiser’s taken?

Everyone in Bastard München got quite the shock when a woman suddenly showed up at one of their practices out of the blue. A real, live woman. That was unfathomable to the teenage boys, most of whom were painfully awkward when interacting with a member of the female species outside of their immediate family.

Everyone was still, the silence deafening. No one knew who she was, except for Kaiser who began to walk up to the mysterious woman with his signature cocky grin.

“You just can’t get enough of me, can you? Was it too long for you to wait mein engel?

The team just stared on as Kaiser flirted with this woman but with an obvious degree of familiarity. Why was the team’s ace calling this random lady a sweet nickname, romantic nickname..oh. Oh. Wait, Kaiser was in a relationship? And that just opened up a whole new can of worms.

Strangely enough, Noel Noa wasn’t doing anything about the disturbance. In fact, he looked bored. Like this was a completely normal thing to happen..or he was expecting it.

“You’re so full of yourself but what if I did miss you?”

“Then I would think that’s adorable. Now, let’s go somewhere else to talk, where we won’t be looked at like we’re the entertainment for the night.”

“Whatever you want.”

And they walked off, Kaiser guiding her to some unknown location.

When the pair was out of sight, the team erupted into chatter. “Who is she? Do you know her? Does Kaiser actually have a girl? More importantly, how did she get in here? Why?” Many of the Blue Lock guys were lost navigating this new dynamic, especially when they were still acclimating to this new team.

After allowing them a few moments to process and talk amongst themselves, Noel Noa spoke up. “Why are you all standing around here doing nothing? Is this not a place for you to hone your skills?”

A collective mumbling of sheepish “yes Coach” followed, the crowd dispersing and going off to the practices they were doing before, albeit more distracted.

Noa simply sighed. It was tiring dealing with teenage boys day in and day out, not to mention push them into their full potential.

The next day Kaiser was back, acting as if yesterday had never happened and the rest of the team had collectively hallucinated it. No one tried to ask him about it, which culminated in the entire team just sort of awkwardly glancing at Kaiser, hoping that he’ll take the hint and just start talking about it, which he thankfully did.

“If you all are wondering about yesterday, yes I have a girlfriend.” Wife actually but he didn’t exactly want to deal with the whole line of questioning about being married.

And Isagi couldn’t just keep his mouth shut and asked the question for everyone. “How?”

“Oh Yoichi, what do you think? We confessed to each other and we’re dating, simple as that.”

But Isagi didn’t look convinced and neither did anyone else except Ness who was just nodding along like every word Kaiser said was an indisputable fact of life.

“No I mean how did you get her to stick around? You two clearly have been together for a while so how does she deal with you?” The filter between his mouth and brain clearly must have been removed somehow because there was no gap between what he was thinking and what he was saying.

“You act as if I’m the most unpleasant person to ever traverse the Earth, you wound me Yoichi. And to answer your question, she sticks around because she wants to.” Kaiser was actually quite amused by this whole questioning thing, who knew it would be so funny to watch his teammates be dumbfounded that he had a relationship?

Isagi still looked at him like he was saying grass is blue but fortunately, the filter between his mouth and brain had come back so he wisely chose not to engage further.

“Oh Yoichi I know you are so curious about what goes on in my life but stick to your own won’t you? The attention is flattering really but it can get annoying if you keep going.”

Isagi just walked away to another area of the pitch, deciding to be the bigger person this time.

Kaiser merely sighed. It was hard work being the center of attention, always having eyes on you. At least he had you to come back to.

[pennim4]

"CHAINS OFF"

Little sketch of Isagi 🙂‍↕️ because I missed drawing him bebxjxjf and haven't post in awhile so here is yall's meal 🤭

Also hear me out! What if the chains represent everyone with the one thing that makes unable to release their FULL ego

For example! EGO him having chains can be a symbol of how he is free to do whatever he wants with the project but still being monitored by the HIGHER UP! Or even something that's related to his past? When he used to be Noa's Teammate! I'm pretty sure there was something that made Ego unable to push himself into his full egotistical potential

Or for example Chigiri with his Leg injury

Same goes for Isagi as his chain I would mostly describe it as "Hesitation" see how during his entire journey Isagi was still hesitant about his decision! About his entire analysis

So in this illustration especially with the recent chapter! Him breaking off his chains means that he no longer hesitate about his capacities! He no longer doubt himself and fully believes in every piece his brains provides

Hope my point make sense 😭 I just briefly explained my sketch 🥹👉🏻👈🏻

Let me know your thoughts🩵

masterlist.

Hcs scenario

The game was intense, the ball switching sides between the two teams at an impressive speed. Your team was holding up, but it seemed to feel the pressure of the match. You were on the field, with your usual calm expression, absorbing every move.

Then, at some point, you were knocked down hard by one of your opponents. It wasn’t something too serious, but you, usually so calm, got up with a different expression, clearly angry at this dirty move.

The anger in your eyes was something new, something no one would want to face. The opponents were tense, trying to organize their defense as you regained the ball, but the speed at which you advanced was unimaginable.

Finally, with a strong and accurate shot, you sent the ball straight into the goal, beating the entire defense and stopping only in the net.

You simply looked at the field, the anger still pulsing in your chest, but with a smile subtly appearing. When you let go, there were no limits to what could happen. And this time, it was for the victory.

Bastard München

Noa was observing the pace of your run with a serious expression. "This is what we need." - He thought, clearly satisfied with the burst of energy you brought to the team after your goal.

Isagi's eyes widened; the last thing he would have considered in his plan was you getting angry. But soon, a sense of satisfaction took over his face, along with a touch of curiosity. He approached and said, - "You never told me you had that kind of strength in you, I'm impressed!"

Yukimiya quickly joined you and let out a soft laugh, placing a hand on Isagi's shoulder. "He's good even when he's angry. Now, let's see how far this rage can take him."

"Yeah, I really liked the way you acted, it was a great goal" - Hiori commented, showing no surprise, but with a slight admiration.

The rest of the players were also slightly surprised, especially Ness and Kurona. They had never seen you lose your temper like that. They knew you were a composed player, but that fierce anger was something they never imagined seeing.

At last, Kaiser and Kunigami remained silent, but Kaiser looked at the scene with a smirk. "Now, that's what I call attitude" - He thought, enjoying the aggression radiating from you.

FC Barcha

The whole team cheers as they watch your goal! Both Bachira and Lavinho break into wide smiles when they see you in action. Bachira runs to you after the goal and grabs you, celebrating. - "Yippie! I didn't know you could get that angry! That was amazing!"

Meanwhile, Otoya, noticing your aggressive movement, runs along the sideline to keep up with your play. He also celebrated when he saw you score, and soon after ran over to congratulate you.

"Caralho [fuck]! That's ma boy!" - Lavinho shouted, he was really surprised, after all, he didn’t expect this from you, always so calm and composed. It was a great surprise! The whole FC Barcha team would be very warm in celebrating your goal.

Paris X Gen

The team wasn't too surprised, except for Shidou and Charles, who were extremely excited by your sudden burst of anger! - "Wow! So that idiot can have explosions! I like that~" - Shidou exclaimed.

Karasu immediately flashed a sly grin and repositioned himself to get involved in your play, while trying to figure out what you were thinking. Loki also smiled, but this time it was more of an "I knew it" kind of smile.

Charles and Shidou were the ones who celebrated your goal the most, lifting you up and shouting nonsense like two idiots. - "Yippie! Do that again, ya?" - Charles shouted.

Manshine City

Chris was the first to comment: "That was awesome! You really got those legs working, huh? Everyone, take notes!" - examining which muscles were used and, of course, turned to the cameras of BLTV, the rest of the team was stunned.

Chigiri had tried to follow up on your attack, in vain. - "Good boy! But I'm still faster than you" - He could only congratulate your attention to the field, which didn't let your speed back down while crossing through the flock of enemy players. He was amazed.

But even more were Reo and Nagi. They chit-chatted away from you, but their wide eyes didn't hide a thing: the shock was a lot. Reo studied your movements to later repeat such beautiful agression, and Nagi thought how - or even if - he could take a pass from you.

Ubers

Your sudden disattachment to the "teamwork" ideals made Snuffy initially worried, but that wasn't all that he payed attention to. Your anger was evident. He came to you, put a hand on your shoulder and asked: - "Are you alright, kiddo?" - and then, you nodded. He seemed to get the mensage, and was happy to see your potential in action.

"Tsch...Not bad." - Barou said, with a grin. He seemed a bit jealous of such a violent goal, but also satisfied. Lorenzo, on the other hand, didn't say anything, but was clearly paying attention to the entire play. Maybe, he found an even stronger spark of strenght in you.

Aiku cheered for you, messing you hair a bit. He was surprised, as was everyone else. In a rare momento, you could see Niko's expression behind the hair. A mixture of shock, fear and excitement. If you were on the enemy team, you would have been a huge problem. But here, you could be one of the Ubers' secret surprises.

[aninipanin1]

I think that Anri begs adult manager! reader to force Ego to eat an actual meal that isn’t those instant noodles

EW, VEGETABLES...?

Notes: I actually love this so much, anon lol

"Good morning, Anri-san. How may I help you today?"

You greeted your fellow female manager, figure hunched over the washing machine, scrubbing the white linen sheets from the many rooms around the facility, especially the one that legit had an oyster sauce spill, leaving a spot darkened.

Anri gave her a large smile, one that is familiar, at first before her, she reached some sort of 'Eureka' moment, and her smile turned into one of disappointment she did not think of it earlier along with a hint of mischief in it.

"Actually, can you help me with something, Y/n?"

"Oh, of course! What do I do?"

The redhaired manager motioned for her to come closer, to which she followed. Cupping her hand around your ear, Anri whispered the 'task' she wanted you to do.

As she spoke, the wider your eyes became. How will you even pull this off?

"But, Anri-san..! You know how much he loves his noodles...and how he doesn't really like me."

You always thought that Ego Jinpachi, the head and director of the Blue Lock facility, never seemed to like you. He wasn't rude to you (you think because he talked to you the way he did to everyone else), but you can definitely see that he would go out of his way to avoid talking to you, approaching you or anything related to talking with you alone without Anri, unless it was something prefessional and work-related.

He also always scolds you. You know, it was just because of the betterment of the project. But why did he have to scold you for just being around Noel Noa or any of the master strikers? They were the ones handling the improvement of the boys. Of course, you need to be around them! Well, it was one of the many things you noticed, but you digressed. After all, you know you cannot please everyone, especially in a workplace environment.

So, you were a little shocked when Anri tilted her head at you, confused about your claim.

"Ego-san...doesn't like you?"

"Um, isn't it obvious, Anri-san? He doesn't really like talking to me at all, and when you aren't there with us, he will always avoid talking to me even if I try to make casual conversations! Also, he always scolds me for the stupidest reasons! Why does he get mad when I talk to Noa-san, Snuffy-san, Prince-san, or even Lavinho-san, I will never understand! It's my job to make sure that the boys are doing well and I can only make sure of that through the master strikers!"

You did not know when you started ranting, but you did. Anri, who listened to you with open ears, could not help but chuckle on the inside. She felt quite amused and also disappointed at Ego. But, she cannot say she was not surprised. Ego was one, if not the most emotionally constipated person she had ever met. It was not a surprise that he would try to avoid you.

But, why did he have to do all those things? It wasn't helping his cause at all!

'You better thank me for what I am doing, Ego-san.'

"Ego-san! Um..."

You stood there in the office where the said man was watching the many screens, watching over the progress of the players who were all training in their own ways. In your hands was a tray filled with sautéed vegetables, a bowl of rice, and some chicken in a bowl you cooked just for the man.

Even if you think he hates you, you can not just ignore someone who is literally putting their life in danger because they don't want to eat healthy things. You aren't messed up like that!

But, you did not know how to approach this, much less him. How will you even ask him to do this, much less with the strained relationship you two had? This was a really bad idea! Why did Anri have to approach you of all people for this-

"What is it?"

He turned his swivel chair to face you, his eyes a bit lidded to show that he was not that happy for being interrupted.

"I made some extra food, and uh...I thought you may want to have it."

'That's so stupid, Y/n!'

He raised an eyebrow at this, and it did not help that the look on his face showed that he did not approve of eating the pallate on the tray.

"Y/n-chan, you know I don't eat those things."

"I know...! I just didn't want to waste it. Anri-san said she already ate so..."

Ego did not say anything, turning his swivel chair to face the screens again. Just as you were about to give up and leave the room thinking that he would not accept the food at all, he raised his arm and pointed to an empty space on the desk.

"Put it there. Don't blame me if I don't eat it and it becomes rotten."

Blinking at his words, you just nodded your head, a bit dazed that he actually considered even being near the food. You did as he told before bowing and leaving to do your other chores and duties.

Needless to say, when Anri entered Ego's office, she was shocked to see the man munching on a bowl of rice with chicken and vegetables on top. His eyes were still focused on the screen, back hunched in a weird position, but he was indeed eating.

"Did Y/n pass by here..?"

"She did. Dropped this...abomination and her paperwork."

Ego answered, pointing to the food that he called 'abomination,' yet he was still eating the food, cheeks round with food. Anri nodded, yet it was obvious she did not believe the disgusted look in his face to which he only glared at her for.

"You're the one who said it. The facility should not waste food." He pointed his chopstick at her.

"Yeah, yeah. It's totally not because you favour her, definitely not." Anri shrugged, a cheeky smile as she headed out the room once she dropped the paperwork.

'I'm surrounded by simps, haahh...' She inwardly sighed.

ADDITIONAL TIME!

Anri: You like her.

Ego: No, I don't.

Also Ego: *proceeds to hoard every single thing Y/n gave him, yes, even if it was the inkless pen she passed to him to throw in the trash.*

I'm sorry if this was too short, hahaha. I didn't really know how to go deeper into this. But I hope you loved this!

Chapter 6

Rating: Teen and Up

Relationships: Noa x Mae (Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes)

Content warnings: None

Comments: English is not my first language. This is my last chapter before going back to Med School :(

“How are Noa… and you?” Anaya asked, a little scared to make the female angry or uncomfortable, he knew it was a sensible topic and that the more-than-just-a-friendship thing between them was long time dead.

“Fine” Soona said “He is my friend… like you”

The curiosity was killing Anaya, so he pushed the limits a little bit.

“I know you… were… too close” the male avoided eye contact.

His friend just stood there, not making any movements or showing any emotions.

“Can I be… honest with you, Anaya?”

“Yes! Of course”

Soona inhaled.

“I hoped Noa would see me as… something more… than just his friend” even though her words were sad, her face only showed serenity “He took me… to see the world… once we were… free from Proximus. However… I knew he didn’t… love me that much”

“Oh no, no, no, no, Soona” the male said, he reached to his friend and hugged her tight “He loves you… very much. I do too”

The smaller ape laughed a little, hugging her friend back. When they let go, she continued.

“But you know… what I mean” Anaya looked at the floor, feeling sad for her “And then Mae came back… I didn’t… trust her. And when she… left again I begged… Noa to let her go. He didn’t, but I learned to… forgive. Mae is good and she… is my friend”

He wanted to tell her about the night Mae and Noa were out to see the lighting dancers, but he promised not to tell anyone, so he stayed silent. All he could do was take Soona’s hand in his and act like a true friend.

-----------

“Is this another secret spot you wanted to show me?” Mae said. She and the ape were doing a light climbing in a destroyed three-story building covered in leaves.

“No. I want to teach you how to be strong” Noa said, grabbing a branch and pushing himself up.

“I am strong” Mae said, panting.

“When you came to the village you were a twig”

“Sorry for being held captive in a quarantine bunker”

“No excuses”

They were only halfway through when Mae stopped, hugging a big branch with both arms, closing her eyes and exhaling.

“Mae?” the male came closer to the human, hanging only from one arm and feet.

He put his other hand on top of Mae´s head, gently caressing her hair.

“What is wrong?”

“I just… need a minute”

“I´m bringing you to the village”

“No! No, I can. I just need to rest a little bit”

“Mae”

“I can do it”

The Echo reached another branch, but quickly slipped, Noa held her by the waist, while all her limbs hung loose.

The ape took her to the ground and Mae sat immediately.

“Sorry, but the sun and the height…”

“It's okey”

“Tomorrow we can try again”

“Sure”

Noa was a little devastated, he felt anger at himself. He wanted to pretend Mae was the same as him, or maybe that she could be like him, but they were so different in many aspects. He used to think maybe she was weak even among her own, but he had seen her killed Trevathan…

Maybe it was time to accept the reality. They were different.

Why was he trying to make them both seem equal?

“So that it wouldn’t be so weird to have these feelings”

“Let´s go to the village. And then you… can teach me how to read” Noa said.

Mae looked up and made a strange face, the ape was taken back at that.

“I… no”

No?

“Oh. I just thought… you could teach me some things from your… people” he felt shy, embarrassed, suddenly, his hands became awkward.

“I can´t teach you more things” Mae murmured “Sorry”

“Is that… forbidden?”

“For me, yeah, it is”

“For you?” Noa sat besides her “Is someone forbidding you?”

“No, Noa. I am forbidding myself… from teaching you”

He was getting more confused every time, maybe the girl was really tired…

Right when he was about to offer they return to the village, the Echo spoke.

“I can´t teach the apes. It´s dangerous”

“What?”

Mae refused to look him in the eyes.

“I can not believe you” Noa sighed, he got up and stared at the human “Dangerous? Why would it be dangerous?”

“It is, Noa!” Mae said exasperated, she stood up and almost fall back, Noa resisted the urge to catch her “You are already… evolving. Remember what Proximus said? Those weapons in the bunker would have help the apes to evolve and we don´t want that! Weapons and guns are not the only way your kind can evolve, Noa, knowledge can do that too”

“So you will not share it. Because you are scared that we become… better than you humans. Is that so, Mae?”

“Yes” her face showed security.

Noa walked towards the human and stood in front of her. They were almost the same heigh, both pair of eyes watching each other intensely.

“You are so fake” the ape chuckle “Every time I think you had change… you just prove me wrong. You pretend and lie and steal. Are all humans… like you, Mae? Or are you just a rotten apple among them?”

“Shut up! You stupid animal!” Mae yelled furious, pushing the ape with both hands, only moving him a little.

“How does it feel, Mae? Watching me… evolve”

“You will never know how it feels to be completely human” the human started to cry, tears rolling down her cheeks, anger in her eyes.

“I don’t want to be human” Noa said “And I don’t need you to help me... evolve. I fixed the electric spear… without help and without you, remember?”

“Your time is over, Noa. I delivered the key, got that? The book that could make humans speak again. It´s only a matter of time before the humans reunite and be strong again, it will be our planet again”

“The things with us, princess, is that we don’t claim the planet. We… live here, but it is not ours!”

“You wouldn’t understand”

“No? Am I too dumb, Mae?”

“You didn’t see the world with us in it”

“And you did? How old are you, Mae? Because… I am sure that you never saw the world… either”

“You are being too... cruel” Noa could see the pain in her eyes, the puffy face and red cheeks. The tiredness.

Did he cross the line?

“Let´s go to the village” Noa said, lowering his voice but keeping the cold tone in it.

“I´ll go by myself. I know were it is” Mae started to walk when the ape grabbed her arm. Why did he keep doing that?

“No. We are going together”

“After all that… what makes you think I want your company?”

“I don’t care if you want it or not. I am not… leaving you”

“Whatever” she said with disdain, pushing him away from her.

They started walking putting some distance between them. The ape could hear Mae´s sobs.

Were they going to be able to forgive each other for the words said today?

"Would I ever forgive myself for making her cry?"

[I look after you.] [POTA headcanons!]

Summary: Random acts of service I think each ape would do for you!

Characters: Caesar, Noa, Koba, Maurice Rocket, Blue eyes, Lake, Cornelius, and Dar.

Warnings: Caesar and Noa's are meant to be romantic. Dar and Cornelius are platonic as well. The others could be read as platonic or romantic, though!

A/N: These are all just random thoughts I've had today. Some will be shorter than others due to just how many characters I tried to include, so bare with me!

Caesar has a sixth sense as to when you're gonna get hurt, it's uncanny.

Humans are clumsy and more fragile than others, he knows as such because of his grandfather and Will, seeing them trip and fall over nothing, stub their toe and curse, it's almost as if they didn't have spatial awareness at times.

His reflexes are faster than his words.

So he knows when you're about to slam your forehead full force into a wooden beam, immediately throwing a hand up to soften the blow.

You instinctually let out an "Ow!" Before realizing you're okay, your mates warm hand against your skin. The Chimp raises an eye bridge up at you, looking towards you and then his hand.

"Oh."

Koba doesn't do anything nice for you without the expectation that you will do something for him in return.

One thing he will do is protect you against yourself, mainly out of pure pity.

Your center of gravity is different than his, and the woods are not meant for you, so get used to Koba yanking you back from a steep drop.

He isn't gentle about it, fist curled into your jacket and roughly dragging you backward, letting out a shrill against his knowledge.

You knock against his chest, his body immediately giving off its warmth to your own.

You're too scared to look up at Koba, knowing damn well he's gonna be glaring down at you, a comment ready to go.

Unfortunately for you, he does it regardless if you meet his gaze or not.

"Should have. Let you fall." He growls, hoping you can't somehow feet his heartbeat pumping out of his chest.

Noa enjoys caring for you, making your life easier by any means necessary, whether it be by learning how to make you tools that help you fish easier, cooking your meat for you, knowing that your anatomy is different, to teaching you to the best of his ability how to hunt more efficiently.

It's his love language, not that he'd be aware of it. It makes him feel like a good mate, and that boosts his ego.

He gets so mad if you try and wave him off, scoffing at the thought of you not needing him.

What do you mean you're fine on your own? Nuh uh.

Has pouted before and got huffy if you get off of your horse without him helping you down, turning his back to you childishly as he sighs as long as possible.

I hate him.

Maurice lets you cuddle into him for warmth. His fur is longer than the others, and he runs warm. He worries for you when the winters get rough. There's only so much they can do other than set a fire up and wrap you with animal hides.

Sometimes, it's not enough, and shivering yourself to sleep isn't fun.

Maurice considers you family, being the first first ape to truly take you in, he'd never turn you away from when you need him most.

Never needing permission, you quietly make your way to the Orangutan's nest, trying your best not to step on any leaves or branches.

Gingerly taking your time to settle next to Maurice, lowering your body down.

Taking a glance at Nova resting on his other side, you don't catch his eyes peering open, a hand coming up to sign slowly.

'Come.'

Lifting a long arm, he allows you to curl into his side, finally granting you a good night's rest.

Blue eyes always makes sure you're apart of the conversation, if he and Ash are goofing around, and you're standing off to the side, he's gonna immediately poke small fun at you to get your attention.

The second he has it, he's gesturing you over to their little circle at the camp fire, asking you what humans think of whatever subject they're talking about.

Baby Blue will shove his shoulder into Ash if he tries to make fun of you, knowing well that you may not take it as friendly banter just yet.

If you're gonna be with the colony, you'll need a protector, and who else is a better, more loyal one than Rocket.

No ape is being disrespectful towards you on his watch, you're important to Caesar and while that was in fact originally the reason he made it a point to keep an eye on you, he's come to love you himself.

An Ape comes up to you, asking something wildly inappropriate?

Rocket gets up in their face, making direct eye contact and puffing out his chest for them to back the fuck off, daring them to make a move, all while making sure you're well hidden behind himself.

Lake enjoys braiding your hair for you, the different texture offering a welcome challenge compared to her own.

She's so gentle and light handed, her fingers weaving the strands to the best of her ability, fingers much too large.

It's a bonding experience between the two of you, her downtime, after working with the little ones for hours previously.

The littlest ape prince is no stranger to clinging on to you at any point in time. Even as he grows older and gets to be too heavy to sit on your lap or climb up your back, he does it anyway. Wrapping his arms around your neck and hiding his face against your skin.

He does it when looking for comfort, but also for when he's being a little shit and his dad is searching for him to chastise.

Cornelius knows that when you're near, you're gonna spoil and baby him, and that's exactly what he wants, hiding behind you.

He is observant like his father, always in tune with your emotions and knows when you need to have company so you don't stew in your own head.

Drags you off to play with the other apes, not taking no for an answer even if you try to. He pulls those puppy dog eyes and it's damn near impossible to deny him.

Taking on a motherly role for you comes with ease, Dar slipping into it once Noa vouches for you.

She makes sure to take you under her wing, teaching you their ways of life in the a view point of an elder, not just Noas.

Please don't imagine that she'd make you your own shawl, matching her own, literally don't bc I teared up.

She'd be ecstatic to see you wear it around the colony, staring at you. She's so proud of you from how far you've come.

Dar will blatantly introduce you to others as her child, no matter what another ape says. Which wouldn't be much to begin with, became who is gonna argue with her? She won't hear a word of it, waving them off.

From fear to forever | Dean Winchester

Pairings: Dean Winchester x pregnant!reader

Word count: 2.8k

A/n: chatgpt had to give me some ideas on how to write a birth/labor scene cuz i got not much experience writing shit like this lmao hope i could make it at least a bit good tho lol also, I finally made a masterlist for this small series, you can find the link at the end of this fic!

“It needs a name, y/n.” You heard Dean’s voice at your bedroom door

“I know.” You muttered still laying on the bed, not facing him

These last few weeks have been rough. You haven’t really been in a good mood and you’re almost every time in your room. Sam and Dean occasionally go and try to get you out, even if it’s just to walk around the bunker, because they know that the doctor told you that you should be walking more since the baby can come any day now.

And no, it still doesn’t have a name. And you don’t know their gender either, you kinda wanted it to be a surprise. Both, you and Dean.

But he’s been trying to talk you into thinking names in the last couple of days. Which you haven’t really thought about, to be honest.

“I just.. I don’t have any in mind.” You sighed

“Well then you can just hear the ones I have in mind and choose which one you like.” He suggests, you smile a little at his attempt to try and get you in a better mood

After a few seconds you finally responded “Maybe later.”

You’ve just been feeling a little upset lately and you think it’s probably because the day is getting closer and soon you’ll meet the little creature that you’ve had inside of you for the last nine months and it scares you.

It scares you because you’re still thinking that you’re not ready or that you won’t be a good mom. Jody has been telling you to stop thinking that, she keeps saying it comes natural and that you’ll be a great mom because once you have it in your arms, you immediately have that instinct to protect it with your life.

“Do you need anything?” He asked

“Not for now.” You replied

“Okay, well I’ll probably be in my room in case you need anything.” He said “Sam is in the library.”

You just nodded“Okay.”

You heard the door closing and left out a sigh. You didn’t want to feel like this but you couldn’t help it. And seeing Dean so enthusiastic and excited about this, it kinda lifts your spirits sometimes, but it also made you feel like shit because if he was that excited, then why weren’t you?

You never would’ve thought he would be excited to have a baby, let alone with you, out of all the women he’s had in his life.

You stayed in bed for a while after you decided to just get out of your room. You pushed the blanket off your body and then got up from the bed. You tied your hair in a low ponytail and then got out of your room to go to Dean’s.

You grabbed the doorknob and opened the door slowly, only sneaking your head in, Dean was watching tv.

“Come in.” He said lowering the volume

You walked in closing the door behind you and you rested your back against it before talking.

“I like Raine.” You said “It’s unisex and it also has different spellings.”

“Raine sounds good.” He nodded

“I also like River.. or Emerson.” You walked up to his bed and laid down next to him

“I was going with Noah, so simple.” He said “And it’s unisex too.”

You giggle “I like Noah.” You nodded

“Oakley is cute too.” He wrapped his arm around you

“It is.. and Haven.”

“Haven is pretty.” He nodded “We have a lot of options.” He looked at you “We just have to choose.”

“But it’s so hard.”

“Well you choose two and I’ll choose two as well.” He said

“Okay, well I choose Raine and Emerson.”

“I’ll go with Noah and Oakley.”

“If it’s a girl and we choose Noah, then it’s Noa without the h, it looks more girly that way.”

He chuckled “Deal.”

* a few days later *

“And there you have it.” Rowena put the crochet hook and the yarn on the table “A little sweater for your wee thing.”

“It’s so cute.” You grabbed the piece of clothing in your hands, looking at it and realizing how small it actually was “It’s so small.” You muttered “Is it gonna fit?”

“Why of course, dear, I can assure you, babies are a lot smaller than we think.” She replied

She’s been hanging around for the last few days since the boys have been kinda busy working on different cases, they thought that maybe some company would be actually good in case you had to rush to the hospital. You were thinking of Donna or Jody, or even Cas maybe, you never thought that Sam would actually call Rowena to come over. But since she’s hasn’t been on the guys’ bad side as of late, well they agreed to talk to her so she could stay with you. Also, they’ve asked for her help for other things so that’s why they agreed.

And you’ve come to actually like her more, she’s been nothing but helpful, always telling you tips and tricks that are probably gonna help you when the baby gets here.

“Thanks, Rowena.” You gave her a small smile

“How are you feeling?” She asked

You sigh “Tired.”

“Anything else?”

“A little pain in my lower back, but it’s not too much.”

“Sam called and said they’re two hours away.” She said “Why don’t you go and rest a bit, aye?”

“Yeah, I’ll probably just go and watch some tv.” You said getting up from the chair and let out a soft gasp as you felt a sharp pain in your lower stomach

“Are you okay?” Rowena asked noticing how you’re wincing

“Yeah.” You say as you feel the pain going away “Yeah, I’m fine.”

“Are you sure?”

“Yeah, it’s probably just the Braxton hicks.” You reply grabbing the little sweater Rowena crocheted for the baby

“Call me if you feel anything else.”

You nodded. “I will.”

You headed to your room and decided to watch some tv for a while. You were feeling pretty tired and you had a little pain in your lower back, it wasn’t that strong and the pain was coming and going which didn’t really bother you, it wasn’t unbearable so you just tried to get comfortable in bed switching positions trying to make it go away.

You were starting to get hungry so you got up to go to the kitchen and prepare a sandwich. You sat on the table and as you were finishing your sandwich, you saw Dean come into the kitchen.

“Hey, you’re back.” You say putting the sandwich back on the plate

“Yup, we got here like 20 minutes ago, I was taking a very needed shower.” He walked up to you and left a kiss on your head “How are you feeling?”

“My lower back hurts a little.” You sighed “But I’m okay.”

“Just your lower back?” He asks

“Well when I was making the sandwich I kinda felt like a sharp pain in my lower abdomen, but it went away pretty quick.” You explained

“And you’re sure you’re okay?”

“Mhm.” You nodded taking the last bite of the sandwich “How was the hunt?”

“Messy and bloody.” He sat next to you and he placed one of his hands on your belly “Woah, it feels very hard.”

“That’s what she said.” You say and he couldn’t help but roll his eyes and laugh at your comment

“Has it been moving a lot?”

“Yeah, actually, I couldn’t sleep last night.” You replied “It’s ready to come out.”

“I’m ready too, how long is this gonna take? I want it out. Now.” He said caressing your belly

“Patience.” You laughed “I want it out too, but we can’t really rush it.”

“I know.” He pouted

“It’ll happen soon, you’ll see.”

“I sure hope so.” He says “Wanna come and have a walk around the bunker?”

You groan “Not really.”

“Well that’s a shame.” He says as he gets up from the table “Come on.”

“Aren’t you tired? Cuz I am.”

“You’re always tired, baby.” He said “Now get up.”

You just roll your eyes and get up too, but you had to stop when you felt a sharp pain in your stomach.

“Ah, shit.” You winced, your hand immediately going to your belly as you held onto the table with the other one

“You okay?” Dean was quick to come to your side to help you

“Yeah, just give me a second.” You said resting your forehead on his shoulder, your eyes were closed because of the pain

It started to slowly fade away and you could stand up straight again.

You took a deep breath “Okay, we can go.”

“You sure you’re okay?” Dean’s hand was on your lower back

You roll your eyes “Yes, now come on before I change my mind.” You grabbed him by the wrist

You put the plate on the sink before you both walked out of the kitchen and started your nightly routine of just walking around in the bunker. 15 minutes went by and again, you felt that same pain in your stomach, only this time it was stronger.

“Fuck, oh my god..” you moaned bending a little because the pain was so much that you couldn’t even stand up straight

“What is it?” Dean asks

“It hurts.. it’s like a really bad cramp, ah!” You quickly grabbed your belly “Fucking hell.”

“I don’t think this are Braxton Hicks anymore.” He said running his hand over your back

“Yeah, me neither.. holy shit.” You had one hand on your belly and the other one was gripping Dean’s arm

“You wanna sit down?” He asks and you just nod in response

He helped you walk over to the library but the pain got worse by the time you got there.

“Oh my god..” you placed your hands on the table “I can’t..” you had to bend over the table resting your arms on it

“I think we should go to the hospital.”

“Yeah..” you said breathless “I think so too.”

“Come on, sit here while I go grab your things.” He said

While he was helping you move from the corner of the table over to the chair, you swore you felt something wet running down your legs.

“Oh my god!” You gasped looking down

“What?!” He asked

“Oh my god.. I think my water just broke, holy fuck, Dean, oh my god, oh my god.”

You knew you had to keep your cool but it was impossible. This was the first time you were gonna give birth and now that the moment has come, you’re terrified!

Now you’re realizing that all the cramps you’ve felt throughout the day were contractions and that you’ve basically been in labor the whole day. Which made you freak out even more.

“I’m gonna cry..” you say trying to control your breathing

“Don’t cry, baby, we got this.” Dean said as he moved your hair out of your face “We’re going to the hospital right now.”

Before you can respond, another contraction hits, and you stumble a little, gripping the table to steady yourself. Your face tightens with pain and Dean’s mind races, realizing just how fast this is happening. This baby isn’t waiting for anyone.

You look at him “I- I don’t think we’re gonna make it to the hospital, Dean.”

“Son of a bitch..” he mutters under his breath pacing for a moment before looking around the bunker like it might magically turn into a maternity ward “Okay, okay, let’s get you more comfortable.. your room?”

“I don’t know!” You snap

“Shit.. okay, just breathe, honey.” He caresses your back trying to soothe your pain “Fuck, I don’t know what the fuck are we supposed to do now! This isn’t what we had in mind.. fuck.”

“I know that! Do you think my mind is thinking about something else other than the excruciating pain that I’m feeling right now?! I don’t know what to do either!” You reply

Just as he’s about to talk again, there’s a soft voice from the doorway.

“What the hell is going on?” Sam asks as he enters the library along with Rowena

“It’s the baby!” You and Dean yell at the same time

“Is it time?” Sam walked over to where you both were

You sigh “What do you think?”

Sam and Dean exchanged a look before Dean spoke “Yeah, she’s not in the best mood right now.”

“We gotta get her to the hospital.” Sam said

“No!” You said “As much as I hate to say it, we’re not gonna make it to the hospital in time.”

“Oh, no. This can’t be happening now.” You heard Rowena say

Sam glares at her. “Rowena”

“I’m just stating the obvious.” Rowena replies, her eyes flitting from Dean to you. “We’re not prepared for a delivery here. I mean, do you even have a birth plan?”

Dean’s head snaps toward her. “I don’t even have a clue what I’m doing here, Rowena!”

But Rowena is already moving. “Alright, alright,” she says, stepping forward to assess the situation “Let’s get her to the infirmary, Dean, you’re coming with me and Sam, you go and grab some towels and blankets.”

“But Rowena..” Sam starts, but Rowena cuts him off.

“Don’t you start. I’ve delivered babies before, you know.” Her tone is matter-of-fact, but she looks at you and offers a small, reassuring smile. “It’s just… a little unexpected, that’s all.”

“It sure is.” You nod

“Now come on, boys, chop chop, we have a baby to deliver.” Rowena says

Dean and Rowena help you get to the infirmary and once you’re there, you lay down on one of the beds.

Dean looks down at you, his chest tight with anxiety. “This wasn’t supposed to happen like this.”

You catch his gaze and manage a small smile, despite the pain. “Tell me about it.”

Dean bites his lip, trying to control his nerves. This wasn’t how he pictured the delivery of his child. But as your hand grips his, and Sam rushes around the room bringing the things that Rowena told him, Dean starts to realize something. In the middle of all the chaos, in the overwhelming fear that’s consuming him, he feels something else too. A fierce, unshakable need to protect.

“Alright.” Rowena calls, her voice shifting to a more authoritative tone now “We need to keep this moving. Dean, don’t just stand there. Focus.”

Dean nods, swallowing his fear. He sits beside you, his hands gently holding yours as you breathe through another contraction. He can feel your hand shaking and the last thing he wants is to show how terrified he actually is.

“Everything’s gonna be okay.” He whispers, trying to reassure you

“You’re saying that to make me feel better or for you?”

“I think both.” He shrugs and you couldn’t help but let out a breathy chuckle

Sam’s been running back and forth, but as Rowena starts to guide you through the process, Sam looks at Dean with a soft smile, one that says, you’ve got this. Dean doesn’t know how, but with Rowena’s instructions, Sam’s calm presence, and the small baby steps toward the delivery, he starts to believe that maybe they can get through this.

After what felt like forever, which included of a lot of tears, a lot of sweat and a lot of pain, you finally hear that loud cry that immediately made your whole body relax, even though you were in pain still, you felt an immense relief that it was over.

“It’s a little girl.” Rowena said as she put the baby on your chest wrapped up in a blanket

“Oh my god..” you looked at the baby with a mix of shock and happiness in your eyes, you couldn’t believe she was right already, but you were very happy about it “Hi, baby.” You whisper caressing her cheek with your thumb softly

“She’s so tiny.” Dean said looking at her

“She is.” You smile and then turned your head to look at him

“You did great.” He said running his hand through your hair

“We did great.” You told him and he gave you a small smile

“So.. Noa without the h?” He raised his eyebrows

You giggle “How about Oakley?”

“I liked Raine, not gonna lie.”

“Then, how about Oakley Raine?”

He nodded “Sounds good to me.”

“Welcome to the world, little miss.” You brushed your nose on her cheek “Do you wanna hold her?”

He nods “Yes, of course.”

You gave the baby to Dean and he carefully placed one of his hands to the back of her head to support it while he was holding her body with his arm. She was so little that she fitted perfectly in her forearm.

“Hey, baby girl.” He mutters while looking at the baby “Gosh, she’s perfect.”

She sure was unexpected, but hell, she was everything you both needed and you didn’t even know it until now.
