Here's the fic I wrote for @paper-mario-zine! You can get it here. Check it out for some more awesome art!
~~~ [AO3 Link] ~~~
We Launch in Five
Mario and Kamek have a chat on the deck of Bowser’s airship.
The last remaining of Bowser’s airships capable of flight bustled with activity as minions scurried around getting it ready for liftoff. Kamek stood among them, watching to make sure preparations were going smoothly; as Bowser had been neatly folded into a square shorter than he was with worse mobility, it was up to him to make sure the minions didn't somehow mess something up.
...even if he would rather be sweeping up that conspicuous dirt pile over there.
...ah, but he should focus; he was hardly a groundskeeper anymore. And he’ll hopefully never be again. He’s got enough titles stuffed in his job description as it is.
He glanced starboard and Mario was leaning against the railing, staring off at the other side of the ship. Just standing there, as hard-working members of Bowser’s Army flowed around him like water.
Kamek marched up to him. “What are you just loafing around for?” he said angrily. “Make yourself useful or get out of our way!”
Mario didn't acknowledge his words, lost in his own little world. Kamek’s eye twitched. Back to being ignored, was he?
“Hey!” Kamek jabbed the end of his broom into Mario’s nose. “Are you listening to me?!”
Mario started, looking cross-eyed at the broom in his face. His gaze slid down it to Kamek, who was scowling fiercely at him. Mario’s face turned apologetic in return. His eyes flicked over to what he’d been looking at once more, then he stood up straight and shook his head as if to clear it.
Kamek looked too, to a small crowd of Bob-ombs milling about the door to the cannons. He considered Mario, who was passing him to leave with a face that looked a bit sad, beneath his usual expression.
“Oh,” Kamek said. It sounded amused. “You got attached to one, didn't you?”
Mario stopped in his tracks. He turned around and blinked at Kamek, who smirked at his surprise.
“Yes,” Kamek mused. “It makes sense for a goody-two-shoes like you to do something like that. You know their lives are meant to be short, right? If you start having feelings about that, you'll just find yourself in more trouble than it's worth.”
Eyes flashing with indignation, Mario balled his fists with an impressive scowl of his own. Kamek scoffed at the display, rolling his eyes.
“Seriously,” he continued, “do you even know how many walk out of the factories every day? There are hundreds, sometimes! They’re all disposable! Take it from me, if you grieve after every single one, you'll burn yourself out in no time. Besides” — Kamek crossed his arms — “they hardly do much these days, aside from being sent out to fight you.”
Mario’s glare froze. It melted into something troubled.
“Oh, for the love of —!” Kamek poked Mario’s chest with his broom. “You heroes always make everything about yourselves. It's not like we expressly tell them to blow themselves up for good; it's hardly anyone’s problem if some of them get overzealous trying to defeat you. They're really not allowed to be that stupid unless it's an emergency, which” — Kamek’s face fell — “I suppose this classifies as.”
Mario frowned. He raised his head, looking up at where Olivia was flying up by the mast with Bowser Junior, and Kamek wondered if the emergency the Bob-omb Mario was thinking about had given it their all for had something to do with her.
“Well, all’s unfair in war, it seems.” Kamek sighed. “The Bob-ombs will be in the cannons,” he told Mario. “It’s doubtful we’ll be allowed to storm Peach’s Castle without resistance. So don't waste time in hesitating for them; they'd rather go out with their impact, as you surely already know. And defending us — you — so you can go do your hero thing certainly is an impact worthy of having.
“Falling out of the sky into the ocean would be a most unfortunate fate in comparison,” Kamek added, leveling Mario with a glare. “So you’d better not screw up!”
Kamek didn't take his eyes off Mario until he received a firm nod in answer, after which he stalked away to yell at a stray Shy Guy for making a mess. Mario fell into step behind him, and it admittedly took a while for Kamek to realize he’d done so, caught up as he was in mentally bemoaning the incompetence that surrounded him.
“...What are you doing?”
Mario shrugged, grinning.
Nearby, a Koopa tripped, the crate they were carrying flying up into the air. Kamek drew his wand to catch it with his magic. “Be careful!” Kamek snapped as Mario helped them back onto their feet. They paid him little attention, busy staring starstruck at Mario. Kamek grumbled about being ignored yet again as they scurried away with a blush on their cheeks. Mario jumped up to grab the crate still floating in the air, and waited patiently for Kamek to get the ire out of his system.
Kamek’s complaints petered out as he noticed Mario with the crate under his arm, watching him expectantly. The confused scrunch of his face shifted to mild irritation fairly quickly, though. “I suppose I did want you to be useful,” he muttered. If only everyone was as eager about receiving orders from him. “Put that over there” — he pointed — “and then go get Olivia and talk to King Bowser; we’re practically ready for liftoff.”
Mario nodded enthusiastically and hurried off to do just that. Kamek watched him go with a huff, then went to go chat with the airship pilot.
Minutes after that, the airship took flight, soaring towards the volcano upon which Princess Peach’s Castle sat. As predicted, there were origami aircraft ready to meet them, to knock them out of the sky. And when Mario had to man the main cannon to defend the airship, Kamek was pleased to note that he didn't miss a single shot. A more than adequate performance, if he did say so himself.

kenma x fem!reader (poker face ending)
series masterlist
♡´・ᴗ・`♡
wc. 2.9k (ahaha)
warnings. NOT PROOFREAD, liberal use of italics, soft soft, kenma in denial, allusions to marriage, bokuto and kuroo meddling, drinking, declarations of love, SMUT!!! (is marked off!), sub!kenma, handjob + blowjob, slightly insecure!kenma, meiko mentions, enthusiastic consent, one (1) katamari reference, vocal!kenma, uhh
an. good golly gee i HATE ending the endings m so bad at it AND the smut is lil weirder to skip??? like it’s not impossible or anything but it’s not as smooth as atsumu’s, m rlly sorry :((((( but i rlly hope y’all enjoy hehe don’t forget to feed me shawties :3
Tumblr media
the loud obnoxious pop music blasting in the crowded bar around kenma made him want to fling himself into the moon at the nearest opportunity.
okay, so that was a little dramatic but the fact still stood.
he was crammed into a tiny booth with kuroo, bokuto, and akaashi, the former brushing up against him with every little movement, making kenma bristle in discomfort.
why the hell did i agree to this, kenma thought while sipping on his cranberry juice. he’d never enjoyed drinking, his true thoughts and feelings coming out way too easily once intoxicated. it was so infuriating being a lightweight, especially when everyone around him was disgustingly drunk.
“are you having fun kenma?” bokuto half yelled, half slurred into his ear from across the table. kenma slouched further into the booth’s stained cushions in response, his lack of answer not bothering bokuto in the slightest.
with the boisterous man’s attention successfully diverted by akaashi, kenma allowed his eyes to wander out over the dance floor but he wasn’t really paying them any mind. instead, his mind was occupied with none other than you.
it shouldn’t have been that surprising considering all the time he’d been spending with you recently. it had been a few months since the hyper house had disbanded and while you were enjoying your time living with your best friends, they had way too much sex. like an abnormal amount.
it had gotten to the point where you were having to abscond from the apartment four times a week because they were just so loud.
at first you had found refuge in the 24 hour cafe a few blocks from your place but falling asleep at a hard wood table only to have to walk home at 2am alone was terrible for your peace of mind (and your back).
you’d started complaining about it at your weekly animal crossing hang outs with kenma and he’d offered the brilliant solution of you coming over to his place when makki and mattsun were otherwise... occupied.
you were shocked at his suggestion and aptly so. it was no news that kenma absolutely hated hosting and having people over, especially since he was one of the few former members that were able to afford their own place straight out the gate.
when you’d expressed this, all he had said was, you’re different.
that wasn’t enough for you, evidenced by your once again nightly stays at the cafe but when you had to run home because someone was following you, you begrudgingly agreed to kenma’s offer and started sleeping at his house multiple times a week.
it was a bit to get used to at first, seeing you first thing in the morning with messy hair and sleep-swollen eyes. you were beautiful jarring. but, as time passed, he got used to your presence, making your drink of choice and sliding him his tea in the morning, sending him a soft smile that had him running to the bathroom to hide his blush.
it was all... strangely domestic.
even now, the thought of you in your threadbare sleep shirt, standing in his kitchen while cooking breakfast sent a wave of heat across his face, spreading up to the tips of his ears.
“what are you thinking about that’s got you so red?” kuroo teased, pulling the glass out of kenma’s hands, laughing at his annoying glare. he hoped he could ignore the question as he so often did, but apparently he wasn’t so lucky.
bokuto cackled in his seat before calling out your name, sending a chill of fear down kenma’s spine. “bet he’s thinkin about her! about how he wants to smooch her and maybe more,” he waggled his eyebrows, “i’m just saying!”
the rest of the table let out good natured laughs but kenma was preoccupied with replaying what bokuto had said.
i mean, sure he thought you were pretty, but anyone with eyes would agree! and yeah, maybe spending time with you was the highlight of his week, but it wasn’t his fault you were so genuinely enjoyable to be around. and of course, sometimes when it was late at night, his mind would wander to you and how it would feel to wake up beside you instead of across the hall from you and—
fuck. he liked you. a lot.
then, as if you somehow knew exactly what was on his mind (a terrifying thought to entertain), his phone buzzed in his hoodie pocket. he pulled it out quickly to check it and he hated how his heart picked up in his chest at the sight of your contact name.
[sussy baka <3]: wya shawty 🤨 u have no food in ur fridge n m hungry seen 13:20
[player ew]: s boys night seen 13:22
[sussy baka <3]: 😐
[sussy baka <3]: are u having fun seen 13:25
[player ew]: ... seen 13:28
[sussy baka <3]: yeah that’s what i thought
[sussy baka <3]: bring home some ramen <3 seen 13:31
home. god, if he didn’t like the sound of that coming from you. it took kenma no time at all to start packing up his things, ignoring the knowing looks on his friends faces as he tossed down a couple of bills for his drink and left to go home, where you were.
after stopping at the convenient store, he headed to his apartment building, shopping bag full of ramen in one hand and heart in the other.
no matter what he did, he couldn’t get bokuto’s annoying voice out of his head, telling him that he liked you. and now that he knew it was true? he was kind of spiraling.
the ding of the elevator managed to somehow shake him out of his thoughts, at least for him to get to his front door, but once it was open, all coherent brain activity immediately dissolved.
you were sitting on his couch in the living room, bundled up in one of his mario blankets and wearing one of his hoodies as you watched some animal documentary raptly, sheer disgust written all over your face.
kenma gulped.
he managed to work up the courage to actually enter his apartment, kicking off his shoes by the door and beelining towards the kitchen, not missing your excited call of his name and wide grin.
biting down any other unchecked feelings, he quickly set to work boiling the water for the ramen and then... stood there. boiling water would take a while and he knew he couldn’t avoid you forever but he really, really didn’t want to go sit by you with all these emotions sitting right on his chest.
“kenma, they’re gonna eat the seal!” you yelled from the couch, waving him over frantically. how was he supposed to say no to brutal animal murder on tv? kenma chuckled dryly at his own joke as he made his way over to where you sat, plopping himself on the side of the couch furthest away from you.
he told himself he just didn’t want to bug you when he had to go check the water but he knew it was a lie. he was running from his feelings, from anything that could ruin this.
you shot him a concerned look which he caught out of the corner of his eye but he kept his head firmly forward, unwilling to look at you if he didn’t have to. “kenma, what’s wrong? was boys night that bad?” you asked gently, and fuck if that didn’t make him feel worse.
kenma just shook his head, still choosing not to face you. you let out a long, arduous sigh before scooting across the couch and pressing yourself to his side, pulling his head down to rest on your chest while taking one of his hands into your own.
what the fuck. what the fuck?!1!?1!!?1!
you were so soft and warm and your arms around him made him feel things which was exactly what he was trying to avoid but then you actually started to speak and oh shit it got worse.
“kenma,” you started, running your hands through his deep brown locks, “you know you can talk to me about anything right?”
of course he knew that because this was you and you were so kind and considerate and badass and cool and that was all precisely why he couldn’t talk to you about everything, especially when it came to his emperor of the cosmos sized feelings for you.
but, instead of saying any of that, he allowed you to continue, his body relaxing into your hold against his will.
“i bother you because i care about you and i worry, you know. i know you’re strong and you can take care of yourself but i can’t help it...” if kenma was really listening, he would’ve heard the shakiness in your voice, the apprehension in your words but he didn’t. “i can’t help it because i like you, kenma.”
you... what?
kenma pushed himself off of you to look you in the face, to find any sign that you’re pranking him or just being cruel but he couldn’t find any.
still, he couldn’t take you at your word, after all who would like someone like him?
“say it again,” his voice comes just under a whisper, his words stilted and unsure but he needs to know, he needs to believe you. he wants to believe you.
“i like you.” you don’t use any big, flowery words, nor do you try and justify why you like him and still, somehow it’s enough. kenma’s eyes filled with tears as they’re trained on you but your eyes were occupied elsewhere.
staring at his lips.
“can i kiss you?” you asked softly, not pressuring or forceful but like that was truly just on your mind and you had to ask it. kenma wasn’t sure how he was supposed to resist when you asked him like that. “please,” was his response, already breathy and absolutely wrecked.
you obliged.
•••smut begin•••
surging forward, you pressed your mouth to his, soft lips meeting chapped ones as you moved them insistently against his own. kenma let out an embarrassing whine at the contact, his hands balling into fists by his sides.
yours, on the other hand, wandered, tracing over the hills and valleys of his chest and back before landing right under the hem of his hoodie. you pulled back, laughing quietly at the way he so eagerly chased your lips while halting him with a hand to his sternum.
“can i take this off?” kenma nodded enthusiastically before he could stop himself and you let out another soft huff as you busied yourself with getting him naked.
he tried to help you where he could, but he was ultimately resigned to bask in your movements, in your control as you manhandled him out of every article of clothing he was wearing until he was as naked as the day he was born.
immediately, the insecurities took hold of him, his mouth opening to stutter out an apology for how he looked. meiko’s voice played in his ears, reminding him he wasn’t what the girls went for being too skinny, too sensitive, too loud.
kenma moved to pick his clothes back up to cover himself before retreating to his room where he could die of shame but your firm hand kept him where he sat.
“you’re beautiful,” you said, like you were saying the sky was blue or the grass was green — as an irrefutable fact. your brows were furrowed at first but the expression melted away to show a softer one, one full of love, admiration, and... lust.
a high-pitched whimper left his lips at your gaze, his cock throbbing against his thigh. you grinned and moved back in to kiss him, your hand moving to his throat to hold him in place, his adam’s apple bobbing against your palm.
your other, unoccupied, hand traveled down his body to rub over a nipple, his back arching into your touch as his breath hitched against your mouth. you let out a hum of approval, continuing your ministrations of pinching and plucking the hard bud before moving further down to take a hold of his cock.
kenma broke away from you, a choked wail erupting from his chest as he bucked up into your grip. “can i make you feel good? can i show you how beautiful you are?” you asked earnestly, your thumb gently caressing his jaw.
“please, please, please,” he begged. under normal circumstances, he would be embarrassed at how easily he’d been folding for you, but it was so much easier to just submit to your capable and willing hands.
“good boy,” you tacked on mindlessly, your blown eyes and kiss-swollen lips only adding to your debauched look. internally, kenma preened at the fact that he was responsible for you looking like that, so feral like you just wanted to eat him up.
which was apparently exactly what you wanted to do, evidenced by you sliding onto your knees in front of him, pressing kisses and sucking marks into his pale thighs.
kenma’s hips stuttered beneath you as he watched you get closer and closer to his throbbing member, the tip already bright red and leaking precum.
suddenly, your eyes shot up to his, pinning him with an intense stare as you slowly, slowly brought him to your mouth, the wet heat enveloping the head before you closed your lips around him and sucked.
holy fucking shit.
his reaction was instantaneous. his eyes rolled back into his head, his hips bucked up into your mouth, and a filthy moan escaped from him as you started to get into a nice rhythm sucking his cock.
kenma could barely keep himself quiet, especially when you began toying with his balls, the feeling adding to the coil tightening in his gut.
you pulled all the way off of him before sucking him down the hilt, his mouth opening in a silent scream as you choked around his length, the pleasure that your throat was bringing while you pulsed around him was otherworldly.
he was going to die, he resigned. he was going to die by the biggest orgasm he’d ever had with his penis in your mouth and he was going to love every second of it.
a sharp tap to his inner thigh brought him back down to earth, this bleary eyes trying to focus on your face and once they did, he was taken aback. your eyes held such fondness, such love that he could hardly take it.
kenma couldn’t hold back his thoughts, especially under the intensity of your gaze, his mouth opening to gasp out, “i love you, shit, i love you.”
you pulled off him with a pop but you didn’t stop stroking him, your hand picking up the pace to the point that his thighs were quivering with the strength of his oncoming orgasm.
“say it again,” you threw his words right back at him and if he’d been in his right mind, he might’ve laughed but since he was drowning in pleasure, he immediately followed your orders, groaning out those three words over and over until he was hoarse.
you seemed to enjoy it, so much so that you took the palm of your hand and toyed with the sensitive tip of his cock, sending him right over the edge.
his vision whited out completely as he came with a loud cry of your name, tears trailing from his lashline from the sheer severity of his orgasm, one hand grasped tightly in yours.
•••smut over•••
as kenma came down from his high, he watched you brush his hair from his face before pressing a kiss to his hairline.
“you know, i love you too,” you stated, pulling him up to rest his spent body against your own. he scoffed while playing with your hand, toying with your bare ring finger in a way that you knew was deliberate.
“i figured, you just sucked my dick.” you protested loudly, smacking him gently on the arm when he snickered at your reaction. after your laughter died down, he rested his head back over your heart, listening to the steady beat thrumming beneath his ear.
your hands tangled back into his hair and he felt himself drifting off into dreamland when a loud meow startled him awake again. kyabia (or caviar) stared up at him with unblinking feline eyes, her tail swishing silently against the floor. “oh god, my cat is seeing me naked,” he gasped in horror, your chest heaving against his ear as you cackled.
kyabia quickly got bored and scampered off to who knows where and by that time, kenma was ready to knock back out. you were still laughing though and since you were his human pillow, that just wouldn’t do.
shoving you down on the couch, he buried his head in your chest and muttered a blunt, “sleep,” ignoring the way your giggle made a smile spread across his cheeks.
obviously, you could tell if your own matching grin was anything to go by but you let it be, instead choosing to wrap your arms around him and hold him tighter to your body, like you were trying to pour all your love into the embrace.
kenma only hoped that you would also “let it be” when you caught him ring shopping on his phone just a few weeks later.
it was only a matter of time. why delay when he loved you and you loved him? he knew he couldn’t wait until he could officially call you his.
after all, kozume yn had a nice ring to it.
Oh, home, let me come home
Home is wherever I'm with you

I kept meaning to send in a request when I saw you hit 1.2k. CONGRATULATIONS by the way!
Could I ask for number 14 off of the 'normal prompts' list? With mentor ezio and the gn!reader/m!reader from arrows and accidents?
Again Congratulations!!!
07/07/2022: AHHHH YOU'RE REFERENCING ONE OF MY FICS!! love u forever tim (?) YES ABSOLUTELY; that fic is one of my favourites! I hope I can do you proud once again! (Thank you so so much!! So kind of you <33) I'm gonna slap this one in the same universe as A&A, then, and hopefully add some seasoning!)
A/N post writing: this was supposed to be a drabble o.O also Ezio might be a little OOC but we'll find out ig lol -- I tried to do this quite quickly to get the ball rolling so I'm sorry if it's a bit of a wonky one!
M!Reader x Ezio Auditore
#14: "You're telling me to calm down? You're the one who's been shot!"
You were a better assassin than before the accident.
After recovering, you had trained twice as hard to regain your lost time, rebuilding muscle and remembering old muscle memory, the familiar feeling running deep through your bones.
What you couldn't evade, however, was your mentor's watchful eye.
Every wince, every phantom pain, Ezio would notice. And every time he'd notice, he'd force you to take a break. At first, you listened; it was important to ensure you didn't make anything worse. But as time went on, it became more of a hindrance to your training; chronic pain would be something you'd have to deal with from now on, and Ezio could not keep interrupting your training like this. Some days were more manageable than others, but there were still times where you found yourself clutching a table or leaning against a wall to stop your knees from buckling, and Ezio had helped you through these episodes each time. The training had improved the pain, but your skills were not progressing at the rate they should be, because of one man in particular.
"Smetti," Ezio said once again. You swallowed the groan in your throat, from both the pinch in your abdomen and the irritation growing in your chest. You panted heavily, glaring at Ezio, who was leaning against the fence, staring at you and your sparring partner.
"Ezio, please. This is getting out of hand."
"You will not perform your best when you are in pain."
"What will happen if this happens on a mission? I cannot just ask the Templar with the axe to wait while I catch my breath." He sighed, avoiding your gaze. "I am fine, Ezio. I am recovered. I am more than well enough to go on missions again--"
"No."
You gritted your teeth. "What?"
"You aren't ready."
Running a hand through your hair, you huffed. "Fine... What if you came with me?"
Ezio raised an eyebrow.
"I'm serious. If you don't think I can look after myself in the city, why not come with me? Then I can prove to you that there is no need to worry."
He paused for a moment. "I will talk to Mario."
The excitement that flooded your veins suddenly grew hard to suppress. "You will not regret this, mentor."
"Hmm." He released an amused hum, before vaulting over the wooden boundary to the villa.
-----------------------
The mission was simple; recover the intel from the courier.
The caveat? You weren't exactly able to hide in plain sight.
"Un altro?" you muttered to yourself, ripping another poster off the side of a building. It was a drawing of Ezio, albeit with his hood up, but his outfit stood out in any crowd who knew what they were looking for. "Ezio, I'm beginning to think you should consider keeping to the hideout until you lose some notoriety. You never said--"
"Non dire sciocchezze, Y/n," came the reply. You turned to watch him peer around the corner, no doubt watching for Borgia patrols. "They won't even know we are here."
"You're only here because you don't trust me."
"He's here." Ezio ignored you, disappearing around the wall.
You blinked. "Ezio, wait!" You ripped the poster into pieces before pursuing into the mass swarms of people. The crowd was thick in some places and thinner in others, and your eyes slipped from his form multiple times. You pushed between all these people, who gasped and cursed you for your impertinence each time you gently pushed them aside. Bending around the crowd, you paused when you saw a group of four soldiers whispering among themselves, eyes fixated on the group of people Ezio stood with.
You battled with what to do; your mentor seemed unaware, his own attention focused on the courier in the opposite direction. The only instinct that came to you (rather slowly, you reckoned in hindsight) was to distract. Picking up a jagged stone by your feet, you moved as close to the patrol as possible, before finding your target; a horse. You waited until it came just past the guards before throwing it at the horse's rear with considerable force. It landed on target, and chaos erupted as four hooves became two, clawing the air in surprise. With the guards' attention averted, you crossed the street, grasping Ezio by the shoulder. "Mentor, we must leave. It's too dangerous."
He watched the scene unfold, face almost unreadable. "Bene," he said. "The courier will house himself at a brothel for the night; we shall infiltrate under darkness."
You released a tense breath, relief replacing it.
"Assassini!" A hand shoved you forwards, and suddenly you were running. The cobblestones bit through the soles of your boots as Ezio led the way, ducking into back alleys. He led as if he had built these hidden paths himself. You ducked into the shadows, not taking a second to register the route.
Almost to safety, You both turned the last corner, practically freezing in your tracks. "No," Ezio muttered. "Cazzo!" Ezio ran to the crates blocking the alley. The docks lay on the other side; a shipment just landed in port. You glanced at the walls of the buildings opposite; smooth as butter. The raucous shouting grew closer. You turned back to Ezio, who was similarly scanning his surroundings, before his gaze dropped to the corner of the blocked alleyway. "Y/n! Here." He gripped the underside of some lodged crates and pulled, creating a gap just big enough to slip through. "Go."
"Mentor--"
"Go!" He strained under the weight, and you dropped to crawl through the small opening he created. You rushed to reach the other side, scrambling to your feet to transfer the weight. "I have it!"
The crates drastically grew heavier as Ezio released them, and you gasped under it; you had not yet recovered to your peak strength, and this sudden extremity challenged your body.
A gunshot went off.
"Ezio?!"
The crates pinned you to the spot; you could do nothing but wait. When his arms emerged, you couldn't help but sigh, inadvertently lowering the blockade. "Y/n!" he chastised.
Shifting again, you pulled the crates up for the few seconds Ezio had to escape. Once he pulled himself onto one knee, you dropped the crates. "Ezio, stai bene?"
He was as still as a rock, breathing deep. For a moment, he attempted to stand, before collapsing onto his side with a groan. "Ezio? Ezio?!" You moved to his side, eyes scanning for injuries before you caught a glimpse of the blood seeping out from his fingers. Ezio's face was slick with sweat already, Adam's apple bobbing as he swallowed. "Tell me what to do! Tell me how to help you!"
Your mentor's free hand grabbed you by the scrunch of your robes. "Calm down."
"Calm down?!" your voice cracked. "You're telling me to calm down? You're the one who's been shot!"
"Listen to me; you are going to get on the gondola, and you are going to row down to Rosa in Fiore."
"And you?"
"I will follow."
"I will row us both."
"Y/n, you are not strong enough--"
"Shut up, Ezio, and put your arm over my shoulders."
He released your robes, and you grasped his arm to pull it over you before he could get away. Holding him against your torso, you heaved yourself onto your feet, carrying as much of Ezio's weight as he allowed you. His breathing had become laboured, and he still carried much of himself on his feet. "Ezio, for the last time, trust me to let me help you. You are the one who is breaking now; let me save you."
The long pause indicated the consideration of his decision, before finally, Ezio slouched against you. The victory motivated you to the dock, where you aided Ezio in a guided collapse onto the wood. Jumping on board, you grabbed the rowing oar and pushed against the river bed. The gondola rocked slowly as you turned the boat around.
"Mio Dio," Ezio cursed, unbuckling his cape. He wrapped it around his waist before knotting it tightly above the wound, wincing as more blood oozed over the fabric. You rowed harder as the gondola soared down the river. A sudden strike hit your abdomen, and you faltered for a moment. "Y/n?"
Standing up straighter, you stretched the muscle. "I'm fine, Ezio." Powering through, the gondola quickly got back up to speed, and you found yourself behind the Rosa in Fiore in good time.
"Help! Someone help!" Women looked out of the window of the manor-like building, and as soon as they saw you both, gasped and moved out of view. You hauled Ezio out of the gondola and onto the dock. "Ezio, can you walk?"
"... Sí." His eyes opened slowly, and he began to move onto his knees even slower.
You sighed at his stubbornness. "Stay still." Rolling Ezio onto his stomach, you pulled him to his feet from under his arms. Leaning him over your shoulder, you slipped your arm between his legs and pulled him evenly across your shoulders. Grasping his wrist, you carried him with a free hand to open the backdoor.
In the foyer, you were being ushered into the first room by the back door. Most, if not, all the women were huddled to try and understand the commotion. "Ladies! Go to your rooms!" You looked up to see Maria Auditore rushing down the stairs.
"Signora Auditore," you greeted quickly, before carefully lowering Ezio onto the bed. He let out a weak pained noise.
"How is he?" she asked.
"Not good. We need Leonardo."
"Claudia left to find him as soon as we heard. He does not live terribly far."
"I'll prepare the supplies."
Maria nodded before moving to the bed to check on her son. "Get this off of you," she ordered softly, attempting to free the wound of the fabric.
"Mother," Ezio warned in a whisper, sending a look her way. Maria raised her hands in sarcastic surrender as Ezio worked to undo the robes over his torso.
"Y/n, come and help him."
You turned around, stunned. "W-With what?"
"I'll fetch the equipment. You tend to the patient, seeing as said patient has grown out of needing his mother's help."
Swallowing, you moved to Ezio's bedside, unbuckling his belts and sheaths and pouches. Untying the knot, fresh blood began to pour from the wound as his eyes rolled to the back of his head. "Ezio, hey!" As soon as you pulled his shirt away to expose his bare chest, you pressed his cape back down against the wound with one hand and grasped his face with the other. "Do not sleep on me now," you growled, tapping his cheek until he grew more lucid.
The door suddenly burst open. "Ezio Auditore! What have you got yourself into now?" Leonardo entered the room and walked straight to the dresser, where a washbowl and some instruments lay. "Maria," he greeted, passing the bowl and cloth to her. He also grabbed a long sheet of linen to cover the bedsheets. "What are we dealing with, Y/n?"
"A bullet wound."
"Bene," he muttered. Quickly, he picked up a leather belt and folded it in half, before handing it to you.
"If you would like to pass out, now would be a good time," Leonardo said as you placed the leather between Ezio's teeth. "Hold him down."
You held his elbow and hand against the mattress, much like he did to you all those months ago. Claudia mirrored your action. Maria pressed his ankles into the bed. Leonardo took this opportunity of quiet to begin the search for the bullet. Ezio threw his head back, groaning in agony. The entire time through the procedure, he had no rest, muscles contracting and relaxing through shockwaves of pain.
"Aha! I found it!" Leonardo pulled the metal ball out and onto the bedside table. Ezio reached up slowly and slung the leather out of his mouth onto the floor. "Quickly, the wine!"
Ezio, dazed, confused, and weak, blinked. "What--" He could barely writhe as the alcohol was poured over his stomach, swallowing a cry of pain down his throat.
"It's done now, Ezio. Try to get some rest," Leonardo took out a needle and thread. It seemed to you that he had finally listened, and his grip loosened as he finally fell into a deep sleep.
You leaned against the bedside table, taking a breath. "You were more difficult, you know," Leonardo said, eyes focused on the stitching.
"How so?"
"Ezio will live. There is no doubt of that. But with you... There was too much blood. No one could have predicted whether you would have survived the night. I am just glad you did."
"Really?" A part of you felt guilt for causing such worry.
"Maybe this will teach him to trust his favourite student. He knows you are capable; he just worries."
You sighed. "I know."
Leonardo had finished stitching the wound, wiping clean the blood with the bowl and cloth in Maria's hands. "If his condition changes, call for me." He looked between you and Maria.
You nodded; you weren't going to leave Ezio's side until he woke, and you had a feeling Leonardo knew that. "Thank you, Leonardo. Truly."
He nodded, getting up to a spare bowl on the dresser to wash his hands. "Of course. Anything for my reckless friends."
You hummed in acknowledgment, eyes scanning your mentor's face. A wave of guilt washed over you as you took in his clammy skin and pinched eyebrows, never fully at peace. "This was my fault."
"No, no, no, don't you go blaming yourself for his injuries, as he did with you. Mio Dio, it's like you are the same person." Leonardo gathered his things. "Here is my advice: get some rest, and when Ezio wakes up, talk to him."
He left moments after, leaving you and Maria alone. "He is right, you know." Maria tended to her son.
"Yes, yes, I know."
And so you waited, never leaving his bedside, waiting for the dreaded discussion of "I told you so" to a mentor so stubborn, not even an ox could move him.

atsumu: 1, kevin: 0 ; miya atsumu
Tumblr media
↳ pairing: miya atsumu x professional women’s volleyball player!reader
↳ synopsis: miya atsumu realises that he’s tired of keeping your relationship “low-key” with a little help from an overzealous fanboy.
↳ genre(s): fluff, humour!!
↳ warning(s): profanity
↳ length: 1.5k words
↳ a/n: surprise!!! lol i have way too many wips rn especially with requests but i wrote this as a little break from all the angst and stuff hence the cheesiness ☺️ enjoy!!
Miya Atsumu was caught in a kerfuffle.
Earlier that day, the twenty-three-year-old setter for the MSBY Black Jackals made the executive decision to come to watch you–– his Mario Kart player number two, his houseplant co-parent, the air-guitarist to his air-drummer, the Karaoke Night pink-lyric-singer to his blue–– kick some volleyball ass in the V. League Division 1 Women's Volleyball Tournament finals. 
The problem?
You played wing spiker for the Schweiden Falkes. 
There was nothing problematic about being a wing spiker on a Division One volleyball team. What was problematic, however, was that the Schweiden Falkes was the sister team of the Black Jackals’ sworn enemy, the Schweiden Adlers. To rub more salt in the wound, the Adlers had won every single game against the Jackals since Atsumu joined (not that they hadn’t prior to his arrival). And to make matters even worse, as one of the nation’s most sought-after athletes, he had to “appeal to both investors and the general population”. Miya Atsumu was supposed to be a marketable bachelor. And he was not.
Miya Atsumu was also not supposed to be at the finals of the women’s volleyball tournament. 
That was the biggest problem of them all. So maybe, actually, Miya Atsumu was mildly ensnared in a few kerfuffles.
The two of you had agreed to keep your relationship low-key from the start and were nearing two years of private, domestic bliss. Questions about each other in interviews were responded to with short and nondescript replies. Outings in public were conducted without physical contact. And despite how Twitter was almost a diary to Atsumu, he’d never once tweeted your name in his life. But as dull as your relationship seemed in public, the two of you were a different story in private. In private, he would find any way to touch you–– a hand in your back pocket, your legs draped atop his thighs, soft lips trailing up from the neck to each other. In private, sweet nothings were proclaimed and not whispered, laughter bubbled like a stream that never ran dry, and Atsumu said your name over and over again like it was habit.
But that didn’t change the fact that, right now, Miya Atsumu was not supposed to be in the nosebleeds of the Sendai City Gymnasium, even if he was hundreds of meters away from the nearest camera.
All the bigger kerfuffles fell quickly to the back of his mind, however, when a smaller and more irritating one presented itself to him. 
A snotty voice declared one row behind Atsumu’s hooded head, “Oi, you’re in the way of the view, jerk.”
Normally, Atsumu would have turned around with an equally cocky sneer on his chiselled features, “the fuck did you just call me?” locked and loaded behind clenched teeth. But when he turned around ready to deliver that exact line, he saw through his black shades that the owner of said snotty voice was none other than a scrawny prepubescent boy.
And that boy (along with the two equally snot-faced twerps beside him) was wearing your jersey number. Suddenly, all the irritation left Atsumu’s face. Was this your little fan club? A wicked cackle threatened to leap out his mouth. They were so annoying. But also, he mused, kinda cute.
“Was I?” he asked with an innocent expression on his face. It was the same one he used when Osamu would accuse him of stealing his clothes (he totally had), or when you would accuse him of eating the last slice of cake in the fridge (he totally did). “I hadn’t realised.” He really hadn’t. He just wanted to milk this for as long as he could.
“Yeah, you were.” The kid crossed his arms, glaring down at the shady guy one row below. “I can’t see the game anymore.”
“Oops–– my bad.”
“Shut up, Kevin, you were watching Y/N!” one of the brats exclaimed, punching Kevin’s shoulder.
Oh? “Yer a fan of Y/N, hmmm?”
“She’s pretty,” Kevin said immediately, shrugging. He just said it out loud like that? So easily? With a subtle wince, Atsumu thought back to the ridiculously long time before he’d admitted his ‘smidge of a crush’ on you. Yeah, unlike you, stupid. “I’m gonna marry her someday.”
At that, Atsumu’s competitive streak jolted awake. He felt himself sober up a little. Not if I marry her first, you little shit.
Bidding the trio goodbye with a bright grin, he turned around and strolled out of the stands. But he didn’t stop there. He stepped into the elevator and rode it straight down to ground level, sailed through the athlete’s entrance with a swipe of his card, and jogged his way to the side of your team bench, making it just in time to see you spike the setpoint past one of their player’s outstretched arms. 
It landed straight on the baseline.
The roar of the stadium scattered into hushed whispers. No one moved. “In,” Atsumu growled under his breath, tapping his feet against the floor. “In in in in in––” He clenched his hands into fists. If they don’t count that as in… 
Finally, the line judge pointed her arms down. The referee nodded.
And all around him, the crowd erupted into cheers.
As confetti fell from above and the Falkes’ victory song began to play, you ran from the court and into a celebratory team hug, screaming ecstatically in each other’s faces. Atsumu, beaming, ducked out of view, not wanting to steal that glorious feeling of a victory hard-earned from you or your teammates. But when the cheering died down, when the hug dispersed, when the television crews started slithering in your direction, he returned to his position behind the bench. And suddenly regretted all the decisions that had led him to that very spot.
Admittedly, Atsumu hadn’t considered the possibility that you wouldn’t want him at your game, but now, standing just metres away from you, he did. His hands suddenly felt very cold and equally moist.
As if on cue, your teary gaze landed on his figure. Your eyes were narrowed in what seemed like a warning. (Really, you were just trying to see better through your tears.)
Oh, no.
Atsumu spun around to make a run for it. At that moment, however, one of the coach’s assistants who’d been sent away to run an errand returned, barrelling through the same door he was heading towards. 
Colliding in a spectacularly embarrassing fashion, Atsumu’s sunglasses flew from his face and his hood blew off from the force of the impact. Disguise in tatters, he could only turn around sheepishly around his hands stretched out, palms up like a magician at the end of a trick.
“Surprise?”
Maybe it was the rush of victory still fresh in your bloodstream or maybe it was simply your brain going haywire, but with complete disregard for you and Atsumu’s original agreement, you ran towards him and leaped into his arms.
“Woah,” he wheezed, instinctively pulling you closer into his chest. “Was not expectin’ that.”
“You’re so stupid,” you murmured, nuzzling your face into his neck. “What are you up to, ‘Tsumu?”
“Unkerfufflin’ myself,” was all he said before gently setting you down. His eyes darted over to the place where Kevin and his gremlins had been and, when he realised that spotting them from here would be useless, lazily flapped a hand in their general direction.
“Some brat said he was gonna marry ya,” Atsumu explained after seeing your brows crease. “I felt I had the duty to save ya from that disaster.”
“By?”
Atsumu blanked. “Er, I, uh, hadn’t thought of that part, actually. I didn’t think you’d be happy to see me here, y’know, considerin’ our agreement and that look on yer face ya had earlie––”
Rolling your eyes, you yanked on his hood, bringing his lips down to yours. His arms snaked around your waist as he deepened the kiss–– he couldn’t help it, it was a knee-jerk reaction by now–– without so much as a second's consideration for the reporters that had swarmed around you like ants to honey. 
You pulled away just a few beats later, both breathless.
“What was that for?” he asked with his forehead pressed against yours. Despite being doused in the blinding flash of cameras and deafened by the barrage of questions shot in your direction, the two of you continued to speak as if you were in your own little world.
“You were about to word-vomit on camera and give Osamu a lifetime’s supply of blackmail,” you replied, giggling. “I thought I’d save you from that disaster.”
Hearing his words come out from your mouth, Atsumu’s eyes waned into little moons. “Consider me saved, doll.”
The noise around you grew louder. You sighed, knowing that the two of you would have a lot to deal with later. As if reading your mind, Atsumu intertwined your hands. I got you. And the unease receded. You’d figure it out together.
“Y/N! Y/N! Are you pregnant?”
“Y/N! Atsumu! When are you two getting married?”
“Can you tell us anything about that steamy kiss?!”
A shit-eating grin crawled onto Atsumu’s face as he grabbed the microphone from that last reporter. “Gladly,” he said, looking into the camera.
“How’s that for bein’ in yer way, Kevin?”
And for the next few hours that the world spent having a meltdown over Kevin’s identity, you and Atsumu remained blissfully tucked away in the comfort of your apartment, playing Mario Kart, baking celebratory cookies to the High School Musical soundtrack, falling asleep to the sound of each other’s heartbeats.

DAY 02 of @flufftober2021
Sneaking Out Together
Tumblr media
Title: In this Moment [Chapter 1]
Author: Vividly_Violet
Fandom: Tokyo Revengers | 東京卍リベンジャーズ
Rating: General
Relationship: Mikey | Sano Manjirou/Takemitchy | Hanagaki Takemichi, Mitsuya Takashi & Takemitchy | Hanagaki Takemichi, Hanagaki Takemichi & Toman Gang
Word Count: 1864
Chapter 1
School just ended and Takemichi wanted nothing more than to go home, eat dinner and then pass out on his bed. It's been a tiring week what with the constant chaos his life has turned out since joining Toman and subsequently dating its leader.
Even before he joined the gang he was already a trouble magnet as the rest likes to call him. Attracting unwanted attention especially from other delinquents that has him ending up bruised and hurting, it's made 10x worst with Mikey added in the equation since anyone who has a grudge against Tomans president or wanted to increase their street cred keeps targeting him since word got out of their relationship thanks to said leader blabbering their status to everyone they meet as a form of showing his possessiveness.
He also has a very punchable face as Baji would laughingly put it and Chifuyu couldn't even refute nor defend him from that statement. At least tomorrow was the weekend. The mizo middle all have different plans for tomorrow, Toman doesn't have any scheduled meeting or any upcoming fight, Mikey and his sister along with their Grandfather are suppose to go on a trip today according to Hina who heard it from Emma herself. So no clingy boyfriend trying to monopolize his time. Finally. A weekend all to himself.
Or so he thought.
"What are you all doing here?" he asked flatly at the crowd gathered in front of his house.
"Takemitchy~ why a sleep over of course!" Mikey exclaimed excitedly.
"Sleepover? I didn't hear any of this. Weren't you and your family supposed to be on some trip." the teen exclaimed.
"Bailed on them, why do I have to hang out with them when I can spent my time with you." Takemichi blushed at that but shook his head. No he will not fall for Mikey's cliche yet none the less sweet words.
"But why at my house, no one informed me of any sleep over."
"Huh, didn't Mikey texted you." Draken asked.
"I didn't received any." Draken turned Mikey.
"Oi didn't I tell you to inform Takemitchy." the taller teen smacked their leaders head.
"Ehh I forgot. Uhhg you keep hitting me, that's why I keep forgetting things." Mikey whined.
"You've been hit by a freaking metal pipe before, the hell does my smack have anything to do with you not texting Takemitchy." Draken hissed at the shorter boy.
"It does so!"
"Why you—"
"I guess we couldn't impose on you like this." Mitsuya said side eying their commander and vice commander who were now pulling at each others hair.
"Who cares we're here, might as well get on with it." Baji said pushing himself from the crowd towards the front door before Chifuyu stopped him.
"Baji-san we came here unannounced. That's rude."
"Sorry for the trouble." Mitsuya apologized. Bless the only reasonable man in Toman, Takemichi thought.
"Ahh no no, don't apologize Mitsuya-kun, it's okay. We can uhh have the sleep over." Takemichi quickly said.
"You don't have to—"
"No, no its really okay. You guys are already here. It'll be rude to turn you away plus— wait where are they?"
"Huh? Oh those guys." the pale lavender haired teen sighed and face palmed as he watch his friends make their way into the house without letting its resident welcome them in.
"How'd you open the door!" the awfully blonde haired teen exclaimed.
"I have a copy pf your key!" said Mikey spinning the key on his finger.
"How!?"
After Takemichi successfully convinced Draken to take the key and compromising that he'll be the one holding it, much to Mikey's pouting or threat all of them gathered in the spacious living room.
"So what are we gonna do?"
There was a chorus of "Movies"
"Video Games"
"Board Games"
"Food"
There was a short pause. Everyone looking at each other and before you knew it the gang erupted into a shouting match on what to do first with Mikey loudly whining about being hungry as he threw wrappers on the others head and Baji almost breaking a vase. It continued for a while until Takemichi had enough of it.
"SHUT UP!"
Everyone quieted down, not used to seeing the crybaby loose their temper except for when Mikey and Draken broke some of his stuff but even then the pair couldn't take it seriously because of the dog shit situation.
"But I'm hungry." Mikey whined. Takemichi dragged his hand across his face. He went to the kitchen and came back with a pack of cookies.
"Here. Share." he glared as he handed it out to his boyfriend who reluctantly had the others get one before hoarding the rest to himself and nibbling on the treat.
"I guess that's the extent you're willing to share."
"Why don't we play some video games while others the boardgames before dinner then we can watch a movie after. How does that sound?" Mitsuya, being the only rational person in the group suggested.
"Tch fine." grumbled Baji.
"That sounds okay." Chifuyu said as he swatted his captains hands from taking his cookie. Draken shrugged in acceptance while Mikey gave a thumbs up as he stuffed his face with more cookies.
Takemichi gave Mitsuya a grateful look before showing Chifuyu where the video games and board games were stored.
"Ahh shit. I forgot, I don't have much in the fridge right now. I was planning on doing the groceries tomorrow but I guess I'll have to do it today."
"I'll come along with you. Might as well help out." The second division captain offered.
"Ahh thank you so much Mitsuya-kun! I'll meet you outside then, just let me change out of my uniform."
After Takemichi changed he rushed downstairs and shouted at Draken to keep the damage to his house to a minimum before grabbing Mitsuya's offered helmet and mounting the bike. The pair then drove off to the nearest grocery store.
🔹🔹🔹
After thirty minutes or so the pair returned to a still standing Hanagaki residence much to their relief even thou there were scattered scrabble pieces lying everywhere, Chifuyu sitting on Baji's back as he and Draken Play Mario Cart, the first division captain struggling to remove his vice off him and chess pieces in the fridge when Takemichi went to put away some of the stuff they bought.
"Why are there chess pieces in my fridge?"
"Mikey was being a brat, he put them there after he lost. Against Baji of all people. Now he's sulking at some corner." Draken explained without taking his eyes of the screen.
"I was not, Baji was cheating!" came Mikeys protest from the corner of the room. He was not sulking there. He just thought that the plant was better company than his friends. Takemichi just laughed nervously at them at least nothing was broken before going back to the kitchen to prepare their dinner. Mitsuya was already there preparing the rice. After he placed it on the rice cooker the two worked together to making karage.
"This is the last batch." Mitsuya said as he placed the floured chickens on the pan.
"Ahh thanks, can you ask the others to prepare the table. I'm also finishing up the side dishes."
"Sure."
It was Chifuyu and Draken who came up to set the table working carefully to not disrupt the two who were finishing up their cooking. Takemichi placed the bowl of Kinpira gobo — a salad made of braised burdock root and carrot — in the middle besides the platter of karage before washing up and removing his apron.
"Dinners ready!" he called out and Mikey and Baji came running to the kitchen.
"Calm down you dogs." Draken scowled, taking his seat besides Mitsuya.
"Ahhh this smells so good."
"Huh, You and Mitsuya sure are housewife material." Baji cackled as he shoved a piece of chicken in his mouth. Takemichi's eye twitched at the comment while Mitsuya remained unfazed.
"Hey if they're gonna be housewives I call dibs on Takemitchy." Mikey declared. Takemichi choked on his rice at the declaration while the others just collectively rolled their eyes.
"You— you can't just say stuff like that!"
After they ate, the group dragged some spare futons from the closet down the hallway and set it in the middle of the livingroom, pushing the couch back to fit it in. They then proceeded to raid Takemichi's room, his parents and even the guests room of its pillows. And dumping it all in the middle to create a small mountain of fluffy pillows which Mikey promptly jumped in to.
The rest of the night was spent on watching movies from horror films to comedy to some action films with a little disturbance along the way with popcorns being thrown and pillows hitting some faces that erupted into a pillow fight. But for the most part, the gang had fun till they all passed out in the living room at around 1 in the morning, Mitsuya being the last to fall asleep had the been the one to turn off the television.
🔹🔹🔹
Takemichi batted at the finger prodding at his cheek. After some time where the prodding hasn't ceased he groggily opened his eyes and was met with deep bottomless dark ones staring at him. He almost shrieked in surprise if it weren't for Mikey covering his mouth.
"Shhh" Mikey shushed and mouthed 'come' before he stood and made his way to the front door. Takemichi carefully extracted himself from Chifuyu's hold, the other teen had rolled to his side and clung to his arms. He placed a pillow in place of himself and chuckled when he heard his partner mumble 'baji' under his breath.
"Why are we sneaking out like this?" he whispered as he put on his shoes.
"No reason~" Mikey smiled as he pulled his boyfriend out the door who was struggling to put on the other pair of his shoes.
"Mi— Mikey-kun!"
"Shhh you might wake up the others. Now get your bike." Takemichi rolled his eyes but nonetheless locked the front door and pulled out his bicycle which Draken had thankfully fixed after breaking it again for who knew how many times already.
They rode is silence enjoying the cold breeze that wafted their face. The street was dead with the occasional business men staggering home, drunk or exhausted or both who knew. After a while Mikey pulled on his shirt and pointed to a konbini.
"Doroyaki, I want some Doroyaki."
"You woke me up for this?" Takemichi said exasperated but still followed his boyfriend inside.
Four packets of Doroyaki later the pair rode off again with no destination in mind just enjoying each other's company. A few minutes later just when he thought worriedly that Mikey has fallen asleep because of the quiet, he felt strong arms wrap around his waist. He almost swerved his bicycle but quickly righted himself.
"Mikey-kun?"
"Hmm can we be like this forever." Mikey sleepily mumbled against his back.
"I don't know about forever but we can stay like this for as long as you want or when my legs gives up peddling."

paparazzi problems - kim seokjin x reader
genre: fluff, angst. warnings: none, mentions of anxiety, suicide. also i diss the us the star wars fandom? so sorrynotsorryi’minittoo pairing: kim seokjin x reader.  (AU where jin writes ‘Magic Shop’, guys. Also I changed a few lyrics around but you’ll see.)
There was no doubt that there would be many grey aspects to making your relationship public. You’d been dating for two years even though you’d known him for much longer, the year being 2020, and ARMY was expecting it, you were the eighth and only female member of the group, after all, something like this was bound to happen.
Ever since it’d been announced on BTS’ account (you weren’t permitted your own Instagram and you perfectly understood why), the amount of interviews you and Jin had attended multiplied by double the amount more than the six other band members.
Which was fine, just tedious and mainly uncomfortable because these interviews weren’t about music, the rest of the band wasn’t with you, these interviews were about your private life together - your love life.
It was fun at first, just the two of you answering questions and taking photos and being in separate magazines but it soon became pressuring and even a little annoying. Although you didn’t get a lot of hate (mainly because when and if you did BigHit would shut it down or one of the other guys would Tweet something fiery back in return) the problem with not having any drama whatsoever was that people tried to make drama.
If they saw you and Jin together, frowning at each other because you were halfway between sharing a look and rolling your eyes something stupid someone (probably Jungkook) said, someone would put a photo of the frown on the internet and the supposed-to-be-interesting interview the following day or week would be laced with questions about why you were supposedly arguing when everything was going so well.
If people saw you getting too close or touchy with one of the other band members the faces of you and said band member would be all over the internet and said band member would become ARMY’s chosen flavour to hate on, even if Jin would speak up about it and you wouldn’t be able to joke around with said band member for at least a few months until something else blew over.
Pretty soon, the two of you learned to loathe these interviews and you were now sitting with the rest of the band (who were already in pajamas) in your new outfits and makeup. You were the one who brought up the subject, lifting your head up and off it’s resting place on Jin’s lap with a miserable groan as he looked down and blinked at the space where your head had once been before bringing his attention back to whatever you were going to say.
“Can we just say we broke up or something? I’m tired and I want to play Mario Kart, too!” you crossed your arms and made a grouchy face, making Jin frown before remembering why he was in clothes and the others were in pajamas; he agreed lazily with a sheepish noise and shrug.
Jin didn’t seem to be offended about it, in fact, he looked like he completely and genuinely understood why you’d said such a thing. You could not say the same for the rest of the boys; apparently your words had been an instant mood killer because someone muted the TV and their cheery conversation came to a dead end. 
The six of them turned around in-sync, staring at you with blank, shocked faces and round open mouths before Namjoon repeated what you’d spoken with a frown, “why would you want to fake break up with each other?” Jungkook, who was still watching the silent TV and had only just started paying attention, choked on his drink and span around. “What?” he turned to Namjoon, using a panicked voice, “Seokjin and Y/N are breaking up?! But, why?”
Everyone, including yourself, groaned, but it was RM who groaned the loudest, shaking his head. “Aiyho, go back to school and take extra classes in paying attention.” He said this in such a serious tone that it was hard for anyone listening and watching not to try and hold back a laugh.
Jungkook scowled as Namjoon continued on like what he said hadn’t been, “Y/N and Jin are just discussing that they want to fake break up.”
“It’s actually a really good idea,” Jin said this with such lust in his voice that the others were also scowling, giving him disapproving and disgusted glares. “What?!” he exclaimed, throwing his arms up. “You guys just don’t get it. We can’t go anywhere without being grumpy, without having photos being taken of us and stories made out of them….”
“Yeah!” you agreed much more loudly than you imagined you would’ve used, “I can’t steal any of Jimin’s noodles without people taking a photo and talking about it and hating -” you began. “You shouldn’t be taking my food in the first place!” Jimin shot back hotly, scowling again. 
“Yeah, that’s boyfriend stuff,” Jin grumbled, making you hit his arm loudly. “Really, mister ‘buy your own food’?! If I took a single spoon of your congee you’d drop me like the mic Taehyung was holding in Mic Drop,” you hissed, making Jin grin proudly at this.
“Anyway,” Namjoon cleared his throat, desperate for peace to be restored, “it’s your decision. I’m not saying it’s a good or a bad one but -”
“No, it’s a bad one and even Jesus knows it!” Jungkook contributed to the banter, “ARMY’s going to blame everything on Seokjin because he was the one who kissed her that night at the concert on stage in the song -” 
“People didn’t see that, though,” you began desperately, “so no harm done, right?” when you did not get the response you wanted you raised your voice and said, “Right?!” again, leaning over the table to stare down the person who was currently on their phone (Hobi) so that he would scramble to find a clip of the concert, guilty.
“Here’s a bootleg of -” he began, only to be interrupted by yours truly, you’d grabbed his phone from his hands and scrolled the red line down to where you’d imagined the kiss would be. You were right. Jin, the hopeless romantic he turned out to be, had been keeping his eyes on you the entire way through Magic Shop. 
You could still hear it, with or without the audio of the video, you could still hear the words. Don’t forget that in the end, I found you, you were standing on the edge of the cliff. It’s my last reason, LIVE. The day you hate being you, the day you want to disappear forever, let’s make a door in your heart. If you open that door and enter, this place will wait. 
Then he’d grabbed you, and you were the one crying, not Jimin, you were. Because Jin had told you Jungkook co-wrote that song. But it wasn’t Jungkook, you understood now,  as Jin’s lips were against yours, it was Seokjin who’d co-written the song. Who’d co-written...
Magic shop.
And the crowd was screaming, ARMY was screaming, some were crying… because Seokjin had breathed into the kiss, the magnifying screens for those who weren’t in the mosh pit had been zooming in on the kiss, bringing the entire world’s attention to his love, to the two of you.
Even the person who was filming with their phone was screaming.
You were still crying as Jin breathed the words “IloveyoubemygirlfriendI’llalwaysloveyouandneverletyougo,” into the kiss quietly, forgetting that he still had his headset on. 
ARMY was screaming again at the words, they were happy that you were happy. Because ARMY was not a toxic fanbase, ARMY was not Star Wars. ARMY could see the kiss and relationship coming from the day you were put in the studio, they’d supported the relationship from the day you were put in the studio together. They didn’t pressure you to break up like how they pressured Rose out of the movies so that Rey and Finn could get together.
“Why do you have to be so romantic, Seokjin?” you slapped his finger away from the tear he’d been trying to wipe, glaring at him. “Because look where it got you, right?” Namjoon rolled his eyes. “But maybe just wait until this interview to decide, ‘kay?” he said this in the same breath and now you were the one who rolled their eyes. “Because you’re gonna be late.”
Namjoon, as usual, was right, the numbers on Hobi’s phone (still in your hands) had flicked from nine twenty-eight to nine twenty-nine, the interview was at ten o’clock and it would take you twenty minutes for the cab to get there in time.
You sighed, rolling your eyes again, slapping (or sliding) Hobi’s phone back across the table, grabbing Jin’s arm violently, getting up, about to hiss a backhand comment at the others before noticing the smirks they were giving your boyfriend, “what?” you nearly growled the words at their stupid smirks before turning to Jin himself, glaring at his blank face. 
“Can I - just let me - you still have -” I hadn’t even noticed that tear was there. “Oh,” you breathed, the tension thick. “Yeah. Um.” no-one laughed or snickered even though you didn’t know why, you half expected Namjoon to at least grin but he didn’t. “Thanks.” you muttered, grabbing one of Jin’s scarves from the rack, almost choking yourself gently with it (thankfully RM saved you from it’s deadly clutches, rolling his eyes and loosening it). 
“Well,” you said, your earlier words still having no plausible effect on the other boys, you started to stomp out the door, ignoring more of Namjoon’s huffy eye-rolling before Jin took control and ushered you out. 
Always early, the drive to the interview had given you a good ten minutes to spare (which you admittedly agreed was enjoyable, you’d made sure to bring your camera, learning your lesson hard, and took photos of Jin with the water fountain.) and soon you were in the studio, spraying silly string at each other in expensive clothes.
Okay, so, maybe when you mentioned interviews being absolutely boring and repetitive or something like that earlier you’d used a very generic term for the word interviews. Because there were very rare occasions where the interviews you and your boyfriend went to were incredible, and today was one of those days.
This interview wasn’t just an interview. It was more like the much more enjoyable activity ones like the group ones you’d done on the Jimmy Fallon Show, Late, Late Show with James Corden, VLive, and other Korean/American channels. 
The studio was huge and empty and there were several cans of bright silly-string scattered around the place. The leader of the interview group told you what you’d be doing and you were all of a sudden very pumped up to take part in this.
You’d be answering questions while spraying each other with the neon silly string. Being a mature duo, the studio echoed with laughter and shrieks and snorted replies to the questions (which really weren’t that bad after all). 
Except, of course, you always seemed to jinx yourself right when things were getting good. “So, Y/N. BigHit makes a big deal about how you donate a lot to anti-bullying, anxiety and depression organisations. There’s been talk of you having depression, is this true? Or is it all just a plea for attention?”
You blinked, thinking maybe you were in a dream, because there was no way an interviewer would question something like that. 
Silence reigned and only when Jin’s sleeve brushed past yours did you realise you were not, in fact, dreaming, you closed your open mouth.
The silly string war had lightened Jin’s foul mood (he’d lost the cap of his camera and didn’t want to buy another one because it was ‘too expensive’.) but now it’d gone back to what it was before. He looked right about to punch the guy in the face and ruin his social life and the rest of his career.
Jin remained calm as always. Instead of losing his cool like one of the other boys would if they were with you, Jin breathed through his nose and a clenched jaw. You shot him a pleading look from the corner of your eye but when he didn’t even register it you knew that there was no stopping whatever would come next.
“When people break an arm,” he began coolly, “you can see the broken arm in the cast. You can see it, you know it’s there. You don’t question it. It’s the same with religion, only different. People don’t know if the gods they believe in really did exist. But they believe the words. They don’t question it. So, if you can see her donating to, talking about, raising awareness for, depression and anxiety, I suggest that you take her word and believe it. Because hypothetically, even if it wasn’t true, if it looked true you’d believe it. It’s just like your company, isn’t it? On the media, it looks like people enjoy themselves in these interviews. You capture the good parts and take out the bad parts, you wash out the black into a grey illusion. We’re all on the same page here; we should keep it that way.”
You looked away and down, trying your best to avoid all forms of eye contact. The tension in the  studio had shifted from joivial to awkward and angry. Even after the interview had ended and you’d taken the silly string off the atmosphere was still uncomfortable and you couldn’t bear to be in it any longer so you nodded quickly at the strings of apologies from everyone in the studio with you.
Just like back at the apartment, Jin took full control, ushering you out with a firm hand on your upper back, walking swiftly out the door. 
Once you were in the taxi out of earshot away from your paparazzi problems, you exhaled loudly with a sort of groan, resting your head on his shoulder, looking up into Jin’s endless black orbs. 
“You didn’t have to do that.” you began softly, making him roll his eyes. “But thank you,” you looked up to him again, “I mean it, Jin. That meant a lot.” now he smiled softly, kissing your head, “Anything for you, Jagi. I love you.” you closed your eyes and said, “I love you too,” quietly back.

Can’t Keep My Hands To Myself
Pairing: Park Seonghwa x Reader Warnings: Slight dom!Hwa, handjobs, blowjobs, fingerings, teasing, someone is left unsatisfied ohoho Summary: What better way to determine if Seonghwa has a crush on you or not by teasing him during a movie night with the rest of the boys? Part 2 Admin Fizzy here, bringing you the first smutty Ateez fic~
Tumblr media
“I mean I could, but why would I want to?” --
You already had an inkling of suspicion that Seonghwa liked you. From the way he would always offer some of his food, to placing a hand on your back when you guys were walking through a crowd, to those half second too long stares he would give you...
You had a feeling that maybe he saw you a little more as a friend.
And that all came to truth when one day you were hanging out with the boys at their place, eating food and playing video games. 
You were already trying to confirm it for yourself, by purposely sitting a little too close to him, leaning a bit too forward to seem like you were really getting into the game, making sure he had a good view of your backside. You swore you heard his breath hitch. 
You finished another round of Mario Kart, standing up to get more drinks from the kitchen and asking if anyone wanted. You got a few confirmations and Hongjoong got up as well to help you out. When you got to the kitchen you opened the fridge and grabbed a few soda cans, stopping in your tracks when you noticed Hongjoong giving you a look.
“What?”
He gave you a ‘really?’ expression, before crossing his arms and jerking his head back towards the living room.
“You know he likes you right?” 
You feigned confusion and cocked your head to the side, bringing your eyebrows together.
“He, who?” 
“Y/n...”
“Hongjoong...”
He sighed and walked to you to grab the drinks. He grabbed 3 from you before opening his mouth again. 
“Just go easy on him okay? I don’t know how much more of your teasing he can take.” 
“I simply do not know what you mean Hongjoong.” You shrugged lightly and turned to walk back to the others, not noticing Hongjoong shake his head and quietly chuckle at you. 
You passed out the drinks when you suddenly got an idea. Wooyoung was sitting on the couch next to the one you and Seonghwa were on and he was the last one to get his drink. You sat back down in your spot next to Seonghwa before stretching your whole body across him to pass the drink to Wooyoung. You felt his body freeze up at you and you swear you heard him choke when you placed your hand on his thigh to balance yourself. “Here you go, Woo.”  Wooyoung gave you a bright smile before going back to face the screen. As you pulled back you made eye contact with Hongjoong who was giving you a small smirk and shaking his head. You simply cocked an eyebrow and leaned back in your seat, glancing to Seonghwa who had not moved an inch. “Oh, sorry Hwa. I didn’t want to fall over.” You whispered and placed a hand on his shoulder. He closed his eyes briefly before turning and giving you a small smile. “It’s okay y/n.”  You gave him a sweet smile before grabbing the controller and leaning back into the couch. After a couple of minutes he began to relax too, leaning back to join you and letting his shoulders slump a bit. When the round ended you asked if anyone wanted to play. Jongho raised his hand and you nodded at him. Jongho was sitting next to Wooyoung. So once again you leaned forward, this time ‘accidentally’ placing your inner arm quite close to Seonghwa’s crotch... His legs stiffened at your touch and you had to bite down on your lip to keep from snickering. When you pulled back you gave him an apologetic look, mouthing a “Sorry” before resuming your previous position. Seonghwa gripped onto his pants before quickly releasing his hold, smoothing his hands downward and folding them into his lap. “It’s fine y/n.” You guys played more Mario Kart before it started to get dark, someone in the group suggested watching a scary movie. While you heard a couple of groans across the room, ultimately everyone agreed. After getting some blankets, making sure to snag one for yourself, and turning the lights off you scrolled Netflix and settled on some paranormal movie. All was well in the beginning, nothing too scary happening yet until it reached that point in the movie when the family started noticing strange things. You decided to roll the blanket out and draped it across you, crossing your legs under you and making sure to put some over Seonghwa. He gave you a confused look before you whispered- “So you can protect me.” Seonghwa simply nodded before turning his attention back to the movie. A few more minutes passed and it reached that point when scary stuff was supposed to pop out. So that’s when you decided to put your plan into action. Both your lower halves were under the blanket so you started slow, placing your hand in between his and your leg, before lifting it up and delicately placing it on top of his hand that was on his lap. His hand twitched at first but calmed down and you locked your fingers on top of his, rubbing small circles into his skin. Seonghwa looked down and pressed his lips together before turning his hand over and interlocking your fingers. Your heart started beating rapidly, happy that he was reciprocating but also in excitement for what you were about to do next. After a few minutes, you unlocked your fingers and a flash of disappointment flashed Seonghwa’s face. You let your hand linger in the air for a few seconds before placing it near his crotch again. Seonghwa’s hand suddenly gripped onto your arm but didn’t pull your hand away. You took that as a sign to continue and moved your hand directly on top of his cock, pleasantly surprised to find it slightly hard. You heard Seonghwa take a sharp inhale, his fingernails beginning to dig into your skin. Keeping your gaze on the movie, you slowly began to move your fingers across his cock, feeling the shape more and more beneath his sweatpants. It only took a couple of more touches before he became fully erect, the warmth of it seeping from his pants and onto your palm. You looked at Seonghwa who was trying his hardest to focus on the movie, his teeth digging harshly into his bottom lip. You nudged him gently with your arm, making his attention go to you. “Are you okay?” You mumbled, making sure to give a glance at his lips that were shining with his saliva.  “Mhm...” he managed to strangle out. The hand that was holding onto you readjusted before going on top of yours, pressing your hand more into his member. You tried to contain your smile before snuggling closer to him, leaning your head into his shoulder.  You continued your previous movement, now adding a few squeezes into the mix. Seonghwa’s breathing started to become ragged, his hand left yours to grip onto your thigh.  You felt a wave of arousal shoot straight into your core whenever he would squeeze you. A part of you wanted to just say “fuck it” and fuck him right there in front of everyone, but the other half... Well, teasing was just too much fun. And you really wanted to do more so you stopped your movements before quickly gripping the waistband of his sweats, slipping your hand past them and his boxers. The warmth and feel of his cock made you want to moan in pleasure. You looked at Seonghwa whose mouth was hanging slightly open, hips trying not to buck under your hand. You pulled him out of his sweatpants, trying to keep your movements as small as possible to not alert everyone else as to what you were doing. Seonghwa’s head was leaning back a bit, the swallow he did causing his Adam’s Apple to bob up and down. God, did you want to just lean up and kiss and bite his neck all over. But all good things come with patience.  You began to move your hand up and down his cock, going to the head to spread the bit of pre cum that had leaked. While your hand moved up and down, you’d stop everyone in a while to squeeze him. One particular squeeze near the head caused Seonghwa to gasp out loud, but luckily a jump scare happened at the same time so it went by unnoticed by others.  He suddenly gripped harshly onto your thigh, leaning down to you to whisper. “I’m gonna cum, y/n.” His voice sounded so strained, and judging by the way his nails were cutting into your skin, you knew it would be a bad idea to stop right there. So with a quick bite to his shoulder, you resumed your movements.  “Fuck.” It was so quiet you almost didn’t catch it. Seonghwa’s grip on your thigh suddenly got tighter and right as he was about to cum— You stopped. Oh the look on Seonghwa’s face could have made you cum your panties right then and there. He looked at you with wide eyes, his lips swollen and plump from all the biting he was doing. Without breaking eye contact, you swept a finger across the head of his cock and gathered some pre cum, making sure to stare right into his eyes when you slowly slipped your finger into your mouth and licked it off. You put your hands on top of the blanket in your lap, not even bothering to look at Seonghwa’s shocked look at your actions. You pretended to focus on the movie for a couple of more minutes before quietly announcing that you were going to the bathroom, saying that they didn’t need to pause it. You stepped inside the restroom and looked at yourself in the mirror, taking note of the light blush on your cheeks. After waiting for a couple of minutes to pass by you opened the door and jumped when you saw Seonghwa waiting on the other side. Neither of you said anything for a couple of seconds before he suddenly began to back you up back into the bathroom. He locked the door and crossed his arms at you, leaning against the door to make sure you couldn’t get out. You casted a glance at his pants, feeling yourself become more wet at his bulge.  “What’s—“ “Do you think this is funny?” He interrupted you and your mouth snapped shut. The look in his eyes caused a chill to travel through your spine and straight into your core. “Do I think what is funny Seonghwa?” His lips pressed together before he took a deep breath. “Giving me a fucking handjob and then stopping right when I was about to cum?” You didn’t answer, instead choosing to lean against the sink and cross your arms to mock him. A couple of more seconds went by before he uncrossed his arms and began to palm himself through his pants. “Get over here.”  The authority in his voice made your knees quiver, your already damp panties becoming even more wet. You swallowed hard when he reached into his pants and pulled out his cock. “Don’t make me repeat myself.”  You inhaled a shaky breath before walking in front of him, making sure to press your chest against his. He stared down at you while stroking himself, looking at your lips before swooping down and kissing you.  The action made you stumble back a bit, but you regained yourself by grabbing his face, fully pressing yourself against him and feeling his cock against your stomach. Seonghwa placed his other hand on your neck, holding you in place as his lips moved against yours, teasing you with the tip of his tongue. His hand went into your hair and grabbed onto you, causing a hiss to leave your throat. He pulled you back before licking his lips and smirking at you, turning your head downwards to see him still running his hand up and down his cock. You felt him push down on you, his thumb grazing his pre cum and going up to swipe on your bottom lip. When you reached the floor you got to your knees and placed a hand on his cock and the other on his thigh. Seonghwa’s hand wound itself back into your hair while the other hung by his side. You dragged your mouth upwards, letting your tongue hang out to lick the entirety of his head. After a few more kisses you enveloped him entirely, taking your time to run your tongue wherever it could reach. Seonghwa’s fingers tightened, feeling just the faintest hint of your teeth grazing his skin. He could feel drool beginning to seep out of your mouth and coat his cock, the view causing his body to set on fire. Your head bobbed up and down, the hand on his thigh gripping him whenever he touched the back of your throat. At one point Seonghwa had felt his climax approaching once more. Wanting to make sure you didn’t pull the same stunt as last time, he put both hands on your face and held your head in place, causing you to stop.  His cock popped out of your mouth and you looked up at him through your lashes. You put a hand on him and lazily began to stroke. “I’m gonna cum and this time you’re going to let me.” That was all he said before he guided himself back into your mouth. You started up again, this time the harsh grip of Seonghwa’s hands in your hair pushing you to go faster. His hips started to jut into your mouth, quiet gasps and moans leaving his hips.  “Y/n, fuck—“ was all he managed to say before he suddenly let out a harsh groan, his cum shooting into your mouth and down your throat. He held you there while he rode out his climax, finally letting you go when he finished. You swallowed and opened your mouth to show him, a tired grin gracing his lips. He pulled you up and into a kiss, tasting himself and moaning into your mouth. He pulled away and gave you one last kiss before turning you and putting you against the door.  “Your turn.” He pulled your pants down and stuck his hand in between your legs, your arousal making him sigh in content. “You’re so wet, baby. Did all this teasing turn you on?” You gave him a weak nod, feeling your eyelids flutter when he started rubbing your clit.  “Let’s take care of that shall we?” And without warning he inserted two fingers into you, using his thumb to simultaneously rub at your clit. It didn’t take much for him to quickly bring you to your orgasm.  “Are you close, baby?”  He mumbled against your lips.You gave him a quiet “mhm”, feeling your legs starting to clamp shut from the pleasure. You were so close, you were right there, all you needed was a little push...  Suddenly his hand was gone and he was pulling away from you. You looked at him through hazy eyes, your eyebrows furrowing together in confusion. “Maybe next time I’ll let you cum.”  He shoved himself back into his pants and gave you a quick kiss before pulling you away from the door, opening it and stepping out into the hallway. He closed the door and left you there in your shocked state. Did he really just do that? You pulled your pants back up and walked to the sink to splash cold water onto your face. You could finish yourself off but you really wanted to feel Seonghwa’s fingers in you again. How ironic that Hongjoong told you to be the one to go easy on him. Perhaps it was a warning. With a sigh, you straightened yourself out and walked back to the living room, your panties sticking uncomfortably to your skin.

Battle Against The Elastic Entertainer
The Boss Fight
The platform raised up to the final level of the theatre. The narrator toad went up the stage, and a spotlight shined on him. After playing through three of my acts, Mario and Olivia finally saw the spool of the blue streamer. 
“Okay, folks... We’ve reached the final act of today’s VERY special show.” The toad announced.
“Ah! Look! The spool for the blue streamer! This is it! We’re finally here!” Olivia exclaimed excitedly.
“Let’s take a moment to applaud our performers! Give ‘em a hand!” The toad said. I heard the sound of the paper machos thumping onstage. I could hear the audience cheering for them. “And now, the hero of our show! Come and take a bow, Mario!” The toad called to him.
“This may be your chance to get close to that spool, Mario!” Olivia said. Mario jumped out of his seat and stepped onto the grand stage. I heard the toads cheering loudly. This was UNACCEPTABLE!
“No, no, NO! The star of the show isn’t Mario, you uncultured HACKS! The real superstar...is MEEE!” I boomed up to them. The platform I was on began to rise, and I came into the crowd’s view. I walked down the steps from my perch and sang along the way. There’s nothing more invigorating then making a grand entrance in front of a big crowd! I got down to the main stage and turned toward Mario and Olivia.
“Hang on! You think you’re the star?! I’ll admit, you definitely know how to make an entrance... but there’s no denying that my buddy Mario was the best part of your whole production. Gosh. Haaang on! You directed this show?! Why did you make it so dangerous? Mario could have gotten hurt somehow! Gosh! Waaait a sec! You’re covered in rubber bands! Does that mean you’re also the one who trapped all these toads?” Olivia questioned.
“Ah! Such a long monologue...yet you didn’t flub a single line! Have you ever considered a career in acting? Oh, never mind! Your SKILL at the performing arts shan’t trip ME up! Get ready! This shall be your FINAL performance!” I said. I wasn’t about to let them destroy another streamer. I pulled a rubber band off my arm.
“Behold the POWER of my rubber bands! Let’s see how well you take stage direction, ha ha!” I taunted. I pulled back my band and released one end. The band snapped into Mario’s face. I pulled the band back again and let go of one end. This time, Mario caught it and pulled it back. I was still holding on to the other end of the band. Mario let go and the band snapped into ME, knocking some of my bands off my body. 
“OW! HEY! Don’t YANK on my bands like that! That’s no way to treat a STAR!” I screamed at them. I looked around and saw my bands on the ground. I raised both my arms up, summoning the bands back onto my body. I grabbed three bands from my arm and pulled them off.
“Prepare yourselves! Here comes my Rubber Bind attack!” I warned them. I pulled the bands back and launched them one by one at Mario. He dodged the first two, but the last one wrapped tightly around his torso, trapping him. I walked toward Mario, grabbed the band around him, pulled it back, then let it snap back. The band broke off and Mario tumbled way back, but he got back up quickly. 
Olivia flew behind him, and Mario got the 1000-fold arms. He grabbed the bands wrapped around me and pulled several of them back. He released his grip and I lost so many of my bands! I summoned the bands back to me, but only a few returned. I looked on the floor and saw the rest of them had broken. I turned my gaze at Mario. I was angry. He still had those inferior arms. Mario tried to grab me again, but I pulled off two of my bands and snapped them back at his folded hands. Mario reeled back. I used the same bands and attempted to bind him again, but he caught both bands again! This time, when Mario tried to fling them at me, I caught them and slide them back on my arm. Mario suddenly started sprinting circles around me. I kept turning around to keep an eye on him, but then I realized what he was trying to do, and I started to feel dizzy. I stopped turning at him, and Mario took full advantage. He grabbed the bands on my back and yanked them. More of my bands went flying, and several of them broke. I summoned back what was left, but it wasn’t enough. I was loosing bands. My giant rubber band that was around my waist was being exposed! I looked behind me and stared him in the eyes. He STILL had those Grambi-forsaken, 1000-fold arms! Mario pulled out his hammer and ran toward me with it. He jumped up and smashed it into my head. Fortunately, the elastic bands on my head took a decent majority of the impact, but I still felt rather dazed. Mario grabbed the bands on my head and tugged them back. I tried to pull them toward me, but Mario released them, and ALL of my bands came off! I was EXPOSED!
“The curtain’s been pulled back! I’ve been EXPOSED! You’ve reduced my ensemble to a one-man band! You’ll PAY for that!” I snapped. 
I regained my composure and stood back up. I was so OUTRAGED! I had had ENOUGH of this SAVAGE! I took off my giant elastic, rubber band. The single band started levitating above me. I motioned the pullback below it, and the giant band began to stretch far. A blue aura began to swirl from me. I stared at Mario with my now glowing eyes with a bitter expression. He raised his folded arms up, trying to protect himself. I release my pull, and the band SLAMMED into Mario! Mario crashed into to the wall of the studio. All the trapped toads in the audience started screaming in panic. 
To my bitter amazement, Mario somehow got back UP! He pulled out one of those red mushrooms and consumed it. I watched his injuries heal to perfection. And for some reason, he never lost the folded arms. Mario dashed toward me and leapt above me, swiping the giant band away. Mario glared at me somewhat menacingly. He gripped the giant band firmly, and pulled it back, fully stretching it. I knew what he was doing, but what could I do? I had nothing the stop him. Mario finally released the band, and it landed a crushing impact to my body. I smashed into the back wall on stage and collapsed. I felt something break inside my body, and I started to bleed. I couldn’t get up. It hurt, it just hurt. The pain was immense! It hurt to breathe, and I was bleeding so badly. I heard Mario walk near me.
“Ohhh! It wasn’t supposed to end like this, Mario... The AGONY! The BRUTALITY! The sheer injustice of it all! O muses! O bard! Have you TRULY forsaken me for these absurd, cruel, SAVAGE beings? I wanted to make this place GRAND! Eliminate things DULL and bland! Alas, this was my FINAL stand! It’s curtains for poor Rubber-“ I didn’t get to finish, but the pain was too much for my broken body to handle. I drew one final breath before my vision faded. I knew that now the blue streamer was going to fall. I was so determined to stop them, to get back at them for what they did to Colored Pencils and the red streamer. But, no matter what I did, or what tricks I played using my rubber bands, I fell. I failed my king. I failed.
I’m sorry.

Masterlist | Part One
- - - - -
‘have fun with James, don't do anything I wouldn’t do ;) xxx’
As you read the text from Alicia it sinks in that you’ve been set up. Your mouth falls open slightly in shock and you laugh to yourself, shaking your head. James turns to look at you, wondering why you aren’t following him. 
“Are you coming or…?” 
This may have been a set up but that doesn’t mean you cant enjoy yourself. 
“Sorry, yeah. No more distractions” you smile and drop your phone back in your pocket before catching up with him “where are we going first?”
“It’s a surprise” he winks playfully and you raise an eyebrow back at him.
He takes you to the nearest Underground station and attempts to explain all the different lines and zones, you both end up laughing as it all goes straight over your head. The underground system is complicated. When you get off he leads you up to Leicester Square and tells you stories of various movie premiers he’s attended there. You end up stood watching a street performer for a while until someone in the crowd recognises James and attention is turned on him and subsequently on you. When people start asking you personal questions and sticking cameras in your face he ushers you away from everyone and into a taxi. 
“Are you okay?” He asks quietly and you just smile and nod your head gently. He smiles back but you can see on his face something is bothering him. He doesn’t speak much for the rest of the short taxi ride until he asks the driver to stop. He pays him and you both get out, then James leads you into a small Italian restaurant. He waiter and James greet each other like familiar friends. 
“You want your usual table?” The waiter asks with a thick Italian accent.
“Please, thank you Mario” James responds and your lead to a candlelit table in a quiet corner of the room. 
Once sat the waited gives you menus and leaves you to decide what you’d like. Then you notice the prices on the menu.
“James, this place is expensive! I can’t-”
“Don't worry, its my treat” he cuts in
“No really-”
“My treat” he reaffirms and you sigh in submission
“Thank you” you smile
“No problem” he looks back at the menu for a moment then puts it down on the table and takes a breath. “I’m really sorry about what happened back there”
“Honestly don't worry about it, its fine”
“No it’s not fine for them to harass you like that. Don’t get me wrong, I love what I do and I wouldn’t want to do anything else I just wish sometimes I could switch it all off. You know? Be a ghost, or invisible or something. Have a day off from being James McAvoy and just be regular James. Ugh you must think I’m such an ass”
“No, no I get it. And I don't think you're an ass. I like regular James.” You pause “James McAvoy on the other hand… now he’s a bit of an ass” you wink and James bursts out laughing. 
— — — — 
When you finish lunch James pays and you leave the restaurant together. James continues his London tour by talking you to the theatre district, where he points out the many theatres he has performed in. A small gasp escapes your mouth when you spot the posters on the wall of the Lyceum Theatre. James looks at you and follows your gaze to see the you're staring at the Lion King. 
“I’ve always wanted to see that show” you say dreamily and James watches you. The look on your face gives him an idea. He hooks his arm around yours and leads you toward the theatre. 
“wh-what are you doing?” 
“trust me” he responds and he leads you around to the stage door. He knocks and a guy opens the door. When he sees James his eyes light up.
“James!” He booms as he fist bumps him
“Hey Andy, is Julie in?” James asks
“yeah, come in” he holds the door open and gestures you inside. He leads you through some doors till you meet a dark haired woman who hugs James.
“Hey Jules, this is Y/N.” James introduces and Julie smiles at you “She’s here from Sweden and she really really wants to see your show… don’t suppose you’ve got a couple of spare tickets for today’s matinee?”
“hmm.. I’ll see what I can do. But only because it’s you” she smiles at James before hurrying off. A few minutes later she appears again holding two tickets which she hands to James “sorted. Enjoy the show guys” and she hurries off again. You turn to James, a look of shock on your face.
“Oh, my, God! You're amazing!! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!!” You throw your arms around him and he laughs, hugging you back. You pull away and look into his eyes “really, thank you!” 
— — — — 
The show was incredible, although James found himself watching your reactions more than the show itself. The way your face lit up when you laughed, the way you smiled through almost the whole show and the way your eyes glistened when the show made you cry. He couldn’t help but reach out and squeeze your hand. 
“that was just, ugh, I have no words. No words” you say grinning from ear to ear as you leave the theatre together “thank you so much” 
“you know I think thats the 100th time you’ve said thank you” 
“101st actually” you grin “seriously I mean it, today has been the best day ever”
“its not over yet” 
As the day turns to evening you spend the rest of the day doing typical tourist things. You stand outside Buckingham palace where James tries, and fails, to make the guards smile. You visit Oxford street and look through the window of magnificent shops. You end up running around Hamley’s toy store together, playing with various toys until you almost get kicked out by one of the workers for plastic sword fighting but James bribes her with an autograph and a selfie. You finish the day with a moonlit walk by the side of the Thames before ending up back where you started at the bottom of the London eye. 
You turn to face each other. You're about to speak when James stops you. 
“don't say it”
“don't say what” 
“don't say thank you”
“why not?” You laugh
“because im not finished yet”
“but its late, surely we’ve done everything by now”
“there’s still one more thing we need to do” he smiles and points up at the giant wheel next to you. 
He leads you up to the entrance of the London Eye and you step inside one of the glass dome. Once inside you notice there’s a small selection of food and some glasses of wine waiting for you. 
“you cant say you’ve been to London if you haven’t been on the eye” James holds up his glass and you clink yours against it. You sit together on the bench in the middle of the dome, looking out across the contrast of the bright London lights against the dark sky. When the dome reaches the very top of the eye you stand up and walk to the edge, admiring the glittering city in front of you. James walks up to join you, putting his arm around you. 
“So, how did I do as a tour guide?” He asks.
“I think, you chose the wrong career. You’re a much better tour guide than you are an actor” 
James fakes hurt and you laugh, turning to face him.
“I’m kidding. You're amazing at both” you smile sincerely and lock eyes with James. He brings his hand up to your face. 
“I think you’re pretty amazing too” he smiles, before gently kissing you on the forehead. When he leans back his eyes flicker down to your lips. He leans in slowly, giving you chance to pull away but you don’t. His lips meet yours and you close your eyes as you kiss him back.
When the kiss comes to an end you giggle nervously, suddenly feeling like a blushing school girl, which makes James laugh.
“I think we should take a picture, I want to remember this moment” he says taking his phone out. He pulls you in with his arm around you and you both smile widely as he snaps a selfie, the lights of London in the background. 
Your ride on the eye comes to an end and James hails a taxi for you. 
“Thank you for an amazing day, you’re the perfect tour guide” you smile, and James takes your hands in his. 
“Well you're the perfect tourer… tour-ee? I don't know the word, but you get what im trying to say” he replies and you both laugh as he opens the taxi door for you to climb in. “text me when you're back safe yeah?” 
“will do” you nod and smile as he shuts the door. The taxi pulls away, leaving him standing alone by the road. A few minuets later a notification pops up on your phone. 
‘instagram: @jamesmcavoyrealdeal tagged you in a photo’
You click on the notification to see he’s posted your London eye selfie, with a simple smiley face emoji as the caption. You like the photo and put your phone back in your pocket only for it to buzz again straight away. You take it out to see a text from Alicia with a screenshot of James’ insta post.
‘oh my God tell me everything xxx’

hii! could you do #34 "please don't do this" from the angst/fluff list for ironhusbands? 💖
Whoops, this was supposed to be short but then I wrote 3000 words. WARNING - THERE’S SOME SMUT AT THE END.
Also, you can read it on ao3! Double also, feel free to send me a prompt if you want.
--
“Please don’t do this.” Rhodey said through gritted teeth as Tony inched closer and closer to him.
“Do what?” He asked nonchalantly as their shoulders touched.
Rhodey took a deep breath and took a step away from Tony while scanning the crowded Officer’s Mess, hoping that no one saw that. “Touch me.”
“I thought you liked it when I touched you.” Tony said, cocking his head and flashing a smile.
Rhodey could feel his blood pressure rise as he locked eyes with Tony.
He hated this.
He hadn’t seen Tony in 13 months, 12 days, and 41 minutes...not that he was counting. Tony had begged him on multiple occasions to take some time off and come meet him somewhere, even just for a night, but Rhodey hadn’t wanted to risk it. Tony was famous. Someone would have noticed that he was in Frankfurt, someone would have noticed that Rhodey was off-base, someone would have snapped a photo of them buying lube. It was too risky, way too risky.
But this? This was way worse.
Yes, Stark Industries was the main manufacturer of planes for the US Air Force. And yes, there was a brand new cargo plane making its’ debut tomorrow. So in theory, Tony being at Ramstein made perfect sense. Plus, everyone knew that they were friends. But no one, other than maybe Pepper, knew the rest. If anyone found out that he was gay, his entire military career would be over.
“Fine, no touching. Can we at least eat lunch together? I promise I wont fellate you in between bites of powdered mashed potatoes.” Tony teased under his breath.
Of course he wanted to touch him, wanted to hold him, wanted to kiss him. But he also just wanted to talk to him. They were always careful while communicating, knowing that Rhodey’s email and phone conversations weren’t necessarily private. They never said I love you, but they’d found other ways to say and show that over the years. Tony always sent really elaborate and thoughtful care packages whenever Rhodey was overseas, and Rhodey always sent Tony weird souvenirs and postcards whenever he could. Rhodey always closed his letters by reminding Tony to water his plants, and Tony always ended his saying that he hadn’t forgotten. Rhodey didn’t even have any plants, but that was their little way of saying I love you with no one noticing.
“I have a meeting.” Rhodey lied, worried that spending too much time together would raise suspicion. “Just...just come over tonight, ok? After 7.”
Tony looked annoyed, but nodded. It was the same expression he had every time Rhodey signed up for another 4 years, or whenever he told him that he was being transferred or deployed again. They both hated this, but they loved each other and Rhodey loved his job. And Tony never once asked him to stop, so all they could do was hope that one day they’d get rid of that stupid law.
“Fine. See you tonight, Captain.” Tony said as he walked away, heading toward the group of SI employees at the opposite end of the room.
--
Rhodey’s heart was racing again as the clock struck 7, and a million different scenarios started running through his head. What if Tony had done something stupid like buy condoms at the PX? What if someone saw him coming up here? Even worse, what if someone noticed him leaving in the morning? They were friends though, best friends. Everyone knew that they were friends and knew that they’d been roommates for several years at MIT. There was nothing wrong with him coming over and spending the night, right? He’d just tell everyone that they had a few beers and then Tony passed out on the couch. It’d be fine, right?
Suddenly, a knock at the door pulled him from his thoughts. He jumped right up and smoothed his pants out, not wanting to look like a complete mess, and then quickly crossed to the front door of his apartment, which he pulled open to reveal Tony. In one hand he was holding a pizza, and in the other a 12-pack of beer and a shopping bag.
Rhodey smiled at him as he stepped aside and let him in. He stuck his head out in the hallway to see if anyone was around, and once he was confident that the coast was clear he closed the door. Before he knew what was happening, Tony grabbed him, slammed him against the door, and started kissing him. Rhodey gave in immediately, running his hands up Tony’s back and tangling them in his hair.
When they finally broke apart, both breathless, they just stood there for a moment with their foreheads resting against each other.
“Hi.” Tony panted out as his arms settled around Rhodey’s waist.
“Hi. Missed you.” Rhodey said before giving him another peck on the lips.
“Yeah, I’ve missed you too. This has been a long one.”
“Just a few more months ‘til I’m back at Edwards, I promise.”
“Don’t make promises you can’t keep.” Tony said as he pulled away and walked over to the counter where he’d dropped everything.
Rhodey came up behind and wrapped his arms around him, just so happy to be able to hold him again. “Well, we’ve got tonight, ok? I can promise you that.” He said in between pressing soft kisses to Tony’s neck.
Tony turned around and smiled at him, knowing that it would have to do for now. “And it’s going to be a good night indeed, Captain Rhodes.”
“You really like saying that, huh?”
“It’s hot.”
“Mmhmm.” Rhodey chuckled as he nuzzled against him. It’d only been a few weeks since his promotion.
“Oh Captain, my Captain, our night is just beginning, and I promise you it’ll be a wild one.”
“Not too wild, these walls are very thin.”
“Not to worry.” Tony said as he slipped out of his grip and grabbed the plastic bag. “Fear not, for I have rented several movies with lots of explosions that’ll certainly drown out all of your incomprehensible babbling while my tongue is buried deep in your ass in about 15 minutes.”
Rhodey could feel his cheeks getting hot as he looked down at the floor, always getting a bit flustered when Tony said stuff like that to him. “Did anyone see you at the video store? Does anyone know you’re here?”
Tony sighed as he played around with the VCR, which answered Rhodey’s question for him.
“Christ, Tony, who?” Rhodey asked, suddenly feeling anxious again.
“Calm down, ok? Look...Colonel Moore and Major Kirkland wanted to take me out to dinner, but I told them that I was coming over here to get you drunk and maybe beat your ass in Mario Kart a few times.”
“Moore and Kirkland? Tony, I work with them every day you can’t just go around telling everyone - “ Before Rhodey could finish his rant, Tony shut him up with another kiss.
“It’s fine. I promise you it’s fine. No one cares that I’m here, no one is suspicious, ok?” He said softly in between kisses. “I got pizza and shitty beer and even shittier action movies and as far as anyone knows we’re over here like a couple of perfectly normal straight dudes talking about tits and cheering when things explode, ok?”
Rhodey took a deep breath and nodded. That was certainly easy for Tony to say - it wasn’t his career and everything he’d worked for on the line - but he trusted him. “Well hey, I bet you’ll be cheering later when I explode in your ass, so I’m sure we’ll be fine.”
Tony laughed and shook his head while playfully shoving Rhodey towards the bedroom. “That’s the spirit. Now go on, I want you completely naked by the time I’m done putting on this movie to appease your neighbors.”
Rhodey just smiled at him and pulled his shirt off as he rushed into his room. By the time he flopped onto his bed he was completely naked, though he hadn’t been wearing much to begin with. Still, it had to be a record.
He propped himself up on his elbows while laying on his back, and a huge smile spread across his face when Tony finally joined him. They took a moment to just look at each other, and even though the sound of rapid gun fire from whatever movie Tony had put on kept it from being super romantic, much like everything else, it’d do for now.
Tony’s hair was a bit longer than the last time he’d seen him, and it seemed like the goatee was here to stay. He hadn’t been sure about the facial hair at first, missing the baby-faced boy he’d fallen in love with back at school, but it really suited him. “Your hair’s wet, was it raining?” He asked, breaking the silence.
“No, I took a shower. I’m not an animal.” Tony answered while pulling his shirt off and climbing onto the bed and onto Rhodey. He leaned down and kissed him again, though this time it was more soft and more loving.
They spent a while just kissing and letting their hands get reacquainted with each other. Rhodey’s cock was hard now, and pressed up against the annoyingly still-clothed Tony. He wanted more, but he also didn’t want to stop whatever this was. He’d been so starved for attention like this for so long, so he did his best to just enjoy the gentle caresses and the way Tony’s tongue seemed to be exploring every single inch of his mouth, even though he desperately wanted Tony buried inside of him.
Eventually Tony sat up, and Rhodey just smiled as he noticed how red and puffy his lips were from all of the action so far.
“Have you...been with anyone? Since...since last time?” Tony asked quietly while slowly circling around Rhodey’s nipples with his thumbs. They had a sort of open thing, but neither really cashed in on it too much.
“No. Have you?”
“No.”
Rhodey smiled. “I love you, Tony.”
“I love you too. Roll over.” Tony instructed as he shifted to the edge of the bed.
“Yes sir.” Rhodey said as Tony pulled off his pants and boxers, finally releasing his cock.
“Mm, I like when you call me sir.” Tony said as he straddled Rhodey again. “God your ass is amazing. I feel like people don’t tell you that enough, but it really is perfect.”
Rhodey smiled at the compliment, but he was also focused on the gunfire and motorcycles coming from the TV in the next room. For a moment he worried that maybe it was too loud and that the neighbors would complain. That’s all he needed, having to run to the door mid-sex while trying to pull his sweatpants on. He considered stopping to turn it down, but all of the thoughts left his head as he felt Tony spread his ass cheeks apart and slowly run his tongue up his crack.
“Oh fuck.” Rhodey moaned while tightening his grip on the blankets he was clutching. Luckily his bed was against an exterior wall, so he wasn’t worried about being too loud in here. As Tony continued to explore, slowly circling his tongue around the rim and prodding at the hole, Rhodey became painfully aware of how desperate his cock was for attention. It was pinned between his stomach and the bed and he tried to move a bit, but it was impossible with how Tony was holding him down. “Tony please…” He cried out quietly.
“Please what?” Tony asked smugly as he pulled away. He slowly crawled up on top of Rhodey and started grinding his cock against Rhodey’s eager ass. “Come on, what do you want, Sourpatch?”
“I want you.”
“Want me to what?”
“I want you to fuck me. I need you to fuck me.” Rhodey moaned again before Tony pressed a kiss to his cheek.
“Good boy.” He said as he sat up. “Lube?”
“Night stand. Bottom drawer.” Rhodey replied breathlessly, still not quite believing that they were together again.
“Do you want me to use a condom?” He asked as he found all of the supplies.
“No, I trust you.”
“Okay. I trust you too. Ooh, Astroglide! How retro.” Tony almost giggled as he climbed back onto the bed.
Rhodey rolled onto his back and wrapped a hand around his cock, stroking himself slowly as Tony got settled again.
“Hey hey, none of that. I don’t want you cumming before I even get inside of you.” Tony teased as he opened up the bottle and squirted some of the clear liquid in his hand. “You want it like this?”
Rhodey nodded as he let go of his cock. “Yeah. I want to see you.”
Tony just smiled before leaning down to give him a kiss. “Good.”
Rhodey took a deep breath while Tony grabbed a pillow and put it under his back for easier access, and Rhodey just let his legs fall open for him. They locked eyes as Tony’s slick hand found Rhodey’s hole, and stayed that way as Tony worked a finger in and out of him. They kissed more as Tony fingered him slowly, and the sensation of their cocks trapped together between their stomachs was more than enough to make Rhodey start dribbling pre-cum.
“Someone’s excited.” Tony whispered between kisses.
“Just fuck me, please.”
“Aye aye, Captain.” Tony said with a little salute as he sat up and pulled his fingers out of Rhodey’s ass.
Rhodey watched as he grabbed the lube again and slicked himself up, and he braced himself for what was coming next. He sucked in a sharp breath as Tony lined himself up and pushed into his ass slowly, doing his best to relax and take it.
“Fuck!” Rhodey cried out as he arched his back, easily taking Tony’s cock deep inside of him.
“Shh shh.” Tony said as he bottomed out. “Don’t want the Joint Chiefs to hear you. You ok?”
“Yes Tony, this isn’t my first Rodeo. Just shut up and move.”
Tony laughed again as he guided Rhodey legs up to rest on his shoulders. Slowly, he started to move, thrusting in and out of and finding a good rhythm. Rhodey was letting out little gasps with each thrust at first, and as soon as Tony started to pick up the pace he wrapped his hand around his cock and started stroking in rhythm with the thrusts. He forced himself to open his eyes, and he smiled at the determined look on Tony’s face as he loomed over the top of him.
“God Tony, I’m so close. Faster.” He moaned again, gripping at the bad with his free hand. This was all happening a bit faster than Rhodey had hoped, but it had been a while and he was certain he’d last longer on the next round.
Tony started snapping his hips faster, losing his composure as he got closer and closer to the edge. “Fuck, I’ve missed this.” He managed to say before grabbing Rhodey’s hips and slamming him back down on his cock as they both chased release.
They fell silent for a while, but the room was filled with the sounds of skin slapping against skin and a huge series of explosions from the living room.
It was Rhodey who came first, spraying his stomach with an explosion of creamy, white liquid as Tony continued to ride him harder and faster. It was becoming too much for Rhodey, overwhelmed by his own own orgasm. “Fuck, come on Tony. Give me everything.” He chanted through gritted teeth, which seemed to be just enough to push him over.
Tony came with an indistinguishable string of syllables, which he quickly muffled as he continued to thrust, filling Rhodey with everything that he had. They were both panting as Tony finished up and let his cock slip out of him, but despite how out of it Rhodey felt, Tony seemed to have a bit more in mind for this first session.
As Tony caught his breath he leaned down and ran his tongue over Rhodey’s toned stomach, lapping up the streams of cum that were splattered all over him. Rhodey just relaxed as Tony cleaned him up, tugging on his shaggy brown hair as he did. When Tony was done he crawled up and gave Rhodey a kiss, allowing him to taste some of the salty substance that remained on his lips.
“Do you want pizza?” Tony asked after a few moments of silence, which just made both of them laugh.
“You’re ridiculous.” Rhodey said as he playfully shoved Tony off of him.
“What? I’m hungry. And we gotta keep up our stamina. We’ve got 12 hours to make up for 12 months.” Tony teased as he sat up and ran his hands through his hair.
“You need a haircut.”
“Yeah well, I wanted to give you something nice and long to grab onto later when we get really dirty.” Tony said as he stood up.
Rhodey just shook his head. “Fine. But I’m taking you to a barber before you leave. Also, it’s not been 12 months.”
“Hm?”
“It’s not been 12 months. It’s been 13 months, 12 days, 7 hours, and 38 minutes.” He said as another explosion rang out in the living room.
“Oh, and I’m the ridiculous one? Come on, pizza.”
“Tony?” Rhodey called out as he started to leave. He wanted to promise him that they wouldn't go 13 months without seeing each other again. He wanted to promise that he’d be back in California soon. He wanted to promise that he wouldn’t re-up again when the time came.
But he couldn’t, he just couldn’t. He shook his head, vowing to do his best to not dwell on any of that right now. They had tonight, and that was what was important.
Tony was just staring at him, confused by the silence. “Yes?”
“Nothing.  I’m just - I’m sorry.”
Tony walked back over to the bed and held out his hand. “Don’t be, I knew what I was signing up for, ok? Come on, pizza time. And if you’re lucky I’ll let you fuck me next round.” He said as he pulled him up and led him into the kitchen.
“Tell you what. Mario Kart. Loser has to bottom, all right?” Rhodey suggested with a huge smile on his face.
Tony just smiled. “Fine, but I hope you’re ready for me to ride your ass all night, Captain.” He said as he grabbed the box of pizza and headed for the living room.
Again, none of this was ideal. But right now, in this stupid apartment with thin walls in the middle of Germany, everything was perfect.

15.11 coda--calm before the storm
Happiness is fleeting. Happiness is just the calm before the storm. And the happier you are, the more you have to lose when it hits.--Ranae Glass
---
Happiness is a razor’s edge. 
Castiel feels it bubbling underneath his skin and chasing itself like lightning storms across his grace. It’s persistent and sly, skirting just around the edges of his perception before darting coyly away, the prettiest girl at the dance wanting his attention. 
When you finally let the sun shine on your face, The Empty had said, its mouth stretched wide in a death’s head grin. When you finally let yourself be happy. That’s when I’ll take you.
And Castiel had agreed because when was he ever happy? He’s nursed grief like a favored babe, held it close to his chest, nestled it in the folds of his coat, carried it until his hands were bleeding. Happiness was a myth, something meant for others. 
Not for broken failures. 
But now, he can taste happiness at the back of his throat and feel it dancing at his fingertips. It slides along the back of his neck and whispers in his ear. When he walks into a room to find Sam, Dean, and Jack inside, happiness bursts like galaxies in the pit of his belly. 
They’re still fragile around each other, still figuring out how they fit together with their new, jagged edges. They’re no longer the sleek machine of before. Their gears stick, they jam. They’re not smooth, not whole. 
Not yet. 
The longer Jack stays put, the more that he talks to Sam, the better it gets. The more Dean’s eyes soften, the better it gets. 
And happiness haunts his every step. 
---
Castiel takes to locking himself away. In the basement, in his room, in his truck-wherever the Winchesters won’t follow him. He needs to get away. He can’t be around them--Jack laughing as he stretches a piece of cheese as far as it will go, Dean bickering with Sam over the last piece of pizza, all three of them glowing with the calm, sedate light of bliss. 
And happiness brushes against Castiel’s face like cobwebs. 
Dean smiles at him now--little, hesitant things that disappear almost the second that they appear, but Castiel sees them. He sees them all. 
Dean trusts him. Again. Finally. He asks for Castiel’s opinion and takes his advice. When Jack says that Castiel told him something was all right, Dean accepts it. The gift of Dean’s trust unfolds in his hands like the tenderest bloom and it shreds Castiel to lay it aside. But he does and when the pain rips through him, he clings to it. 
Dean’s hand twitches towards him. They never make contact, but the intent is there. And that intent, those smiles...They’ll kill him as sure as anything else in this world. 
So he runs. He makes himself a ghost around the bunker, but the structure isn’t large enough to contain the Winchester’s joy. It bursts from the seams, leaks through the pipes and vents, slithers down his spine until he can feel it inside him. 
And it would be so easy to give in. He wants to. Every part of him yearns for the easy acceptance of Sam’s hand on his shoulder, Jack’s knee pressing into his, Dean’s smile heavy on him. It would be so easy to walk upstairs and partake in the comfort that they’re offering him. 
And it would kill him. 
---
Despite what he says, Dean is not a stupid man. He notices Castiel’s absence and after two days, he comes to find Castiel. 
He’s sneaky about it. He waits until Castiel is elbows deep in reorganizing the stacks in the basement, when all of his considerable concentration is focused on deciphering ancient Sumerian badly written in a shaky hand. He doesn’t even notice Dean until he speaks. 
“So this is where you’ve been hiding lately.” 
Castiel doesn’t jump, and for that he’s proud. He doesn’t turn around as he answers, “The files down here were disorganized. If we’re really looking for a way to defeat God, then we need to have all the information we can at our disposal. Wouldn’t it be awful if the key to everything was misfiled in one of these boxes?”
Dean makes a skeptical noise in the back of his throat. “Yeah. Well, I don’t think that you’re finding the answer any time tonight. What is it that you’re even looking at?”
“It’s um...It looks like the writer was attempting a spell to deodorize his shoes.” Castiel glances over the characters and sighs. “Which wouldn’t have worked because he had a faulty translation.” 
This time Dean doesn’t bother to hide his skepticism. “Well. With that fascinating piece of work, I think we can say that your job is done here, right? Come upstairs. Play some Mario Kart. Just...” Something soft and desperate flashes in Dean’s eyes. It’s there and gone before Castiel can really appreciate it, and that’s good; he shouldn’t appreciate it. “The kid’s asking about you. Be nice if you were up there with us.” 
If the words were spoken a few months ago, even a few weeks ago, there would have been venom dripping off of them. But now, Dean just sounds a little sad, a little wistful. 
“We won Cas.” Dean’s fingers worry at a thread on the cuff of his sleeve. “It’s weird, don’t get me wrong, but...Anytime that we get someone back, it’s a win.” 
He smiles and it’s like watching galaxies being born. Happiness curls around Castiel’s chest and works its way up his throat. When you finally let the sun shine on your face...
“Come upstairs. Please.” Dean gives him one last, searching look, and turns to walk down the hallway. The sound of him retreating up the stairs echoes through the room. 
Castiel gives one last look to the boxes spread around the room. 
After a long moment, he follows Dean. 
---
“You should tell him,” Jack says, late one night when Sam and Dean are asleep. 
“He doesn’t need to know,” Castiel says, the denial coming more as an automatic reflex than as a conscious thought. 
“Dean doesn’t like being lied to,” Jack says, with the intensity of a schoolboy reciting lessons learned. “And omitting a fact is almost as bad as lying about it.” 
When did Jack become smarter than him? When did his boy grow up? Was it between life and death? Or has Jack always been wiser than him? 
“You should tell him,” Jack says again. “He misses you.” 
---
“Is everything all right?” Sam asks him, a day later. “It’s just...You’ve been...” He waves his hand in what might be considered a reassuring gesture. “Ever since we got Jack back.” 
“I’m fine,” Castiel answers. From the look on Sam’s face, Castiel can tell that he’s not convinced. “It’s just a lot,” he tries. “Jack, and Chuck, and Purgatory...” 
He lets his voice trail off, because it’s the truth, but it’s not all the truth, and for a second, he lets himself wonder what it would be like if he were to come clean. If he were to look at Sam’s face and say, Sam I’m in trouble because I made a deal. I made a deal and I didn’t think that I would ever have to pay up because the price was my happiness and I didn’t think that such a thing existed. I made a deal and the price was my happiness, and it was supposed to be fine but your family makes me think that I could be happy. I look at your brother and I want to be happy.
“It’s a lot,” Castiel repeats, and there’s disappointment in Sam’s eyes, but that’s fine. 
Kindness would kill him.
---
“Tell me what’s wrong,” Dean asks, late one night. 
Dean should be asleep but he’s a perverse human that exists to torment Castiel. 
Castiel thought that at one point, when Dean was still the Righteous Man and Castiel still had the honor of a garrison commander. He thought that Dean Winchester’s one mission in life was to thwart Castiel’s every mission. 
And then he got to know Dean and discovered that yes, that was true, but there was so much more to Dean Winchester than mere disobedience. 
“Cas, please. I just...we got Jack back. He’s back and he’s like he should be and...”
Dean’s faltering. Despite his prayer, despite the newfound peace within him and between them, he’s still the hurt, broken man of all those years ago. His edges still scrape against each other. 
But Dean is also ever-changing, like deep waters, and even now, after all these years, he still has the ability to surprise Castiel. 
“Why aren’t you happy?” Dean takes a step forward. The fall of his foot shatters the poor excuse for Castiel’s heart. “I just...I want you to be happy Cas. Please. Tell me what you need.” 
And for a second, Castiel considers spilling the whole, sordid truth. Dean knows about making deals, probably better than almost anyone else. Dean knows about the sick desperation crowding the back of your throat, when a loved one hangs by a mere thread and only your paltry self can save them. 
Dean doesn’t like being lied to, Jack said, and Castiel knows that as well.��
Dean’s eyes are soft and earnest, pleading in the dim lamplight. 
And Castiel has always been selfish. 
“I’m fine Dean,” he answers, and watches Dean’s eyes shutter before he turns and walks away. 
---
And still--
The sound of Jack’s laugh twists around his heart. Sam’s smile comes easier these days, especially when he mentions that Eileen might come back, Just for a weekend, he says, but the corners of his eyes crease with the force of his smile. And Dean...Dean is softer around them, gentler. He listens to Jack. He runs his thumb over Mary’s initials on the table. He washes the Impala and cooks elaborate dinners for them and makes popcorn on the stove. 
And he doesn’t mention anything to Cas, but the question hangs between them. Castiel clings to it, the tiny, shredding pain, because without it he knows-he’d be lost. 
And he has so, so much to live for. 
---
He wants to be happy. 
He looks at Dean’s hands and he wonders what they feel like. He watches Jack spar with Sam and he longs to be involved. 
This was his family, once. 
He’s the only thing standing in the way of it being that way once again. 
Castiel wants, with a fierceness that only rivals his fear. 
---
“Please Cas,” Dean says one night, after he’s had one too many fingers of whiskey, because old habits die hard. “Please. Tell me what you need.” 
And because he knows that Dean won’t remember any of this in the morning, Castiel gives in. He leans in close enough to smell Dean’s skin, the scent of leather and oil clinging to him. 
“I did something stupid,” he whispers, and there’s a brief flare of joy in the admitting of it. “But there was no other option and Jack was in danger...I promised the Empty that it could have me, in exchange for letting Jack go, and it said yes. But not until I was happy. And I thought...I thought that would never happen, but...” 
An iron fist wraps around his chest and even though Castiel doesn’t need to breathe, he still gasps with the pain. “I want to be happy,” he says, the secret dredged up from the deepest part of him. “I look at you and I want...I want so badly, but I can’t because I want to be here more. I’m sorry Dean. I’m so sorry.”
Castiel drops his head onto Dean’s shoulder and takes comfort in the solid warmth of him. He might be mortal, might have been torn apart and patched back together too many times to count, but Dean Winchester can bear the weight of eternity, if only for a few moments. 
“I want, so badly, but I’m afraid,” Castiel whispers. Fuzz from Dean’s shirt coats his lips as he moves his mouth against the soft fabric. “I’m so sorry Dean, I’m sorry.” 
Dean looks at him for one second, his eyes sharpening in understanding, just before Castiel puts a gentle finger to his temple. One swift brush of grace, and Dean’s eyes fall shut. 
---
“I remember what you said.” 
Castiel’s head snaps up. Once again, Dean’s managed to catch him in a moment of weakness; not that he has anything else in Dean’s presence. 
“You can’t be happy. Because if you’re happy, then the Empty comes and takes you.” 
Dean takes a resolute step forward. This time he doesn’t stop until he’s standing directly in front of Castiel. He’s close enough to touch and Castiel’s fingers yearn for contact. Happiness nips at his ankles, scratches its nails over his jaw. 
“You made a deal.” 
Dean’s hands reach out towards him and unlike before, they don’t stop when they’re hovering mere millimeters away from his flesh. Dean’s hand is warm when it cups his face. Castiel can feel callouses formed from years of fighting rubbing against his cheek. He swears that he can almost feel the pulse of Dean’s blood echoed through his body. 
He waits for the rage. For Dean to bluster and snap, for the thin thread holding Dean’s anger at bay to finally unravel. But Dean never snarls, his eyes never darken with fury. Instead, Dean just looks very, very sad. 
“It was for Jack,” Castiel finally says, because he doesn’t regret it, he can’t. Jack is a miracle and worth at least ten of him. If there was anything that Castiel could do, anything in the universe to keep his boy safe--
“I get it.” Dean’s eyes turn misty and Castiel knows what he’s thinking of--Sam Winchester’s body cooling on a rusty mattress frame, the gravel cutting his fingers as he dug at a crossroads, the sour taste of sulfur in his mouth from a kiss. “I know why. I just...Why would you think that you couldn’t tell me?” 
But then Dean stops, because he understands that as well. 
Dean’s fingernails bite into his flesh, a dull pain that races through his veins. “Cas.” He makes the nickname sound an invocation. “I know why, but you know...there’s nothing in this world that we ain’t beat yet. There’s a lot of shit outside of it that we beat too. We’ve got Jack back and even freaking Death wants to lend us a hand.” Dean’s fingers turn Castiel’s face towards his. “Please.”
And Castiel doesn’t know what Dean is asking--Please keep trying? Please let yourself be happy? Please stop? But for once it doesn’t matter. None of it matters because Castiel might be an angel, but he’s not a stone and he can’t pretend to be. Not with Dean in front of him, eyes open and pleading and earnest. 
Castiel leans forward and Dean tilts his head and then his lips are bumping into Dean’s, soft and tender, a gentle greeting of Hello. There you are. 
I found you. 
Stars burst into supernovas in the pit of his belly and whole worlds are created. Castiel gasps into Dean’s mouth. Dean swallows the sound, his hands gathering Castiel closer. Moisture prickles at the corners of Castiel’s eyes and he can taste the salt of Dean’s tears when he flicks his tongue across Dean’s lips. 
This is happiness. Sam upstairs, Jack secure and happy with them once more. Dean’s acceptance and friendship. Dean’s arms wrapped around him, Dean’s mouth pressing into his, the warm glow of Dean’s soul covering his grace. Joy fills him, until he’s more a creature of ecstasy than grace. 
Black crowds at the edges of his vision. 
Castiel shuts his eyes. 
---
It’s so hard to forget pain, but it’s even harder to remember sweetness. We have no scar to show for happiness. We learn so little from peace.--Chuck Palahniuk

hello!! i dont know if you’re still doing them but could i request number 31 from the prompt list for shuichi and hajime (preferably with either gender neutral or male pronouns) ty!!
31: “Hey, I’m having fun” Shuichi Saihara & Hajime Hinata (masc S/O)
I luv Hajime with my whole heart so I got you!! And yeah I’m still doing them <3!! 
Me and my godbrother were taking turns playing Mario and whoever wasn’t holding the one remote had to add sentences to this, so yeah here’s the result of that by the way, it’s towards the end of the Hajime one and the beginning of the Saihara one :D
-Mod Souda
Tumblr media
Hajime Hinata
You had a lot of friends in your class, as a part of the main course with the ultimates, and so you hung around them a lot.
And often, in an almost noblesse oblige, you’d bring along Hajime.
Chiaki runs the group hangouts, along with Ibuki, and they both seem to get along with him most.
But you still get anxious, because you know how much he admires the ultimates, and you wonder if getting him to hang out with them is making him jealous.
You don’t care that he’s not an ultimate, he’s still the one you love. But sometimes you get worried that you’re forcing him to come along with you. Does he not want to hang out with your friends? He’s not very vocal about his concerns, he usually goes along with what everyone is doing.
Every time you both go out with them he clings to your side, not saying much and laughing awkwardly.
The things your friends can do blows his mind.
Akane eats a whole chicken wing in one bite? His mind just ???
So when another party comes up in the talk, you already try to plan it in your head. What can you do to make Hajime more comfortable?
Chiaki, in her calm voice, introduces the idea.
“How about... us all in a big room with balloons and flashing lights?”
Ibuki is already excited. “Flashing lights? Like a concert.”
Chiaki gets a small smile. “Sure, how about you perform for us, Ibuki.”
“Maan, I want to perform too!” Saionji calls out, her head on her desk.
“Then that settles it,” Chiaki puts her hands together, “I suppose we all start to plan it now!”
A concert seems like the perfect place for Hajime to fit in.
He doesn’t need to talk to others, and it’s a place where you both are free to dance together!
The thought of being that close to him makes your cheeks heat up.
Would he enjoy that too?
Later, when the school day ends, you stand outside the reserve course’s main building, pulling your jacket closer to you as the winds begin to increase.
It’s always cloudy outside of the school, and it’s not something you’re too fond of whenever you wear the school uniform. Especially when it’s warm and moist.
“Hey,” Hajime knocks you out of your half-conscious state, “how has your day been?”
His eyes, his smile, the content look on his face.
Everything about it you love!
With a big smile you respond, “but I want to hear about you!”
And so you hear about how boring his day was as you both walk down the street.
The sun shines down on his face, peeking through the clouds, and highlighting everything you like about him.
Your face lights up for a second as you remember the party Chiaki was planning.
“Oh, Hajime, you wouldn’t believe the party we have planned out!”
“Does it take place in the school?”
“Yep, in the gym! Yukizome totally got permission for it and everything, Ibuki Mioda is even throwing a concert for just us!”
He stops walking, glancing down at you with a small smile.
“And when is this?”
You can’t tell if his interest is faked or not.
“This weekend! Some ways to go, right?”
He starts walking again before he responds. “I can’t wait.”
You both walk until you reach your room, and then he gives your forehead a small kiss before leaving.
And the rest of the week you both spent the majority of your time together after school walking around until you both end up somewhere recognizable.
Though, without telling him, your mind was occupied on what to wear.
How fancy do you want to be with him?
A tuxedo would impress nobody but Sonia, for sure.
Maybe something charming, like a button-up?
Standing in front of the mirror thirty minutes before the event, you confirm the idea of a button-up. 
And maybe a tie?
No, a tie makes it too official.
While you were decided what accessories to put on there is a knock at the door.
And there stands Hajime, wearing a white button-up and a tie.
“Hajime, you didn’t have to walk over here, I could have walked to your place!”
He puts his hands out in front of him defensively, trying to wave you off.
“I just couldn’t wait to see you!”
Flattered, you put your hands to your cheeks.
“Well, I’m almost done, but we can go now.”
He holds your hand throughout the walk.
The sky is an orange hue, and the sun is almost touching the horizon. Wisps of yellow and pink mix in the sky like paint.
His feet halt before he passes the gates that lead into Hope’s Peak Academy.
He’s passed them before, countless times with you.
But no matter how familiar he gets, the school is still a distant dream to him.
“Come on, let’s go!” You cheer, dragging him passed his mental block.
Past the doors of the school, Chiaki stands against a wall, her game system in hand as she consciously taps away on it.
“Good evening, Chiaki!”
She peers up for only a moment to wave before returning to her game. Maybe she’s a door mouse.
The gym, decorated by everyone in your class, had lights of blue and purple shooting from the stage.
Balloons of pink float, taped to the snack table and the edges of the stage, some of them bare and bouncing around on the floor.
Not all of your classmates are here, just a few you would expect to be early.
“Welcome back Hajime,” Sonia greets him, waving when she notices both of you. “How exciting is this! A concert inside of our school, wow!”
Breathing out, he adds, “Hope’s Peak Academy is truly amazing.”
Most of your classmates know him by name at this point, and they all know to be nice to him. None of them look down on him because of his status. None of them care that much to remember it.
Your mind almost immediately jumps to wondering where Ibuki is, as this is her magical moment. Perhaps she is hiding behind the curtains of the stage.
Your friends start coming, one by one until all 15 students stand inside of the gym.
And as the curtains pull back, you realize you were right. There, with her guitar, shooting fire out of its neck, she rings out chords and sings her heart out with Saionji dances in the front.
Not the best combo, but you enjoy it nonetheless.
And, no matter how chaotic her music is, you love it with all of your heart.
“That’s unique,” Hajime whispers to himself.
“She left her band because of creative differences,” you explain, smiling to yourself.
“Thank you so much for listening to my first song!” Ibuki cheers out, throwing her thumbs up, “and now - here are some of the oldies!”
And as soon as she finished, you grab Hajime’s hand, spinning him in place. His feet stumble as he was caught in surprise at the moment.
You both laugh against each other, vibrating with happiness as he returns the favor, spinning you around and pulling you close to his chest.
“Such romantic music.” He coos.
The others around you fall into the same, sugary light-hearted mood you and Hajime set. They dance, some better than others, but all in sync with the beat.
Even the slight swaying of the SHSL Imposter is enough to let everyone know the party has started.
The lights shine on everyone, showing your bodies as cold hues.
You can even feel his heart against yours one you grab him, pulling him into a kiss, which he happily returns.
Until someone interrupts.
“S/O-kun....” Chiaki puts her hand on your back. “Can you escort me to the bathroom, I don’t want to get lost.”
Chiaki we go to the same school.
You are almost unsure to leave Hajime. There’s such a high chance that’ll he will just hang against the wall and await for your return.
You smile, hands slipping away from Hajime and towards your friend, “Oh, of course, I can!”
And you walk with her, out of the gym and into the hallway, she suddenly stops walking and takes your hand into hers, pulling you to meet her height.
“I pulled you out because I got you and Hajime a gift!”
Your face heats up, and you watch as she takes something out of her pocket. It’s a card, multiple actually.
“They are free passes to the arcade.”
“Where we met...” You find yourself whispering under your breath as you take the cards out of her hand. There are four of them, all shiny and brand new.
“I just wanted to thank you both for... helping me get fifteen new friends. And being so helpful!” She takes a breathe, pulling that and toying with the strings of her hoodie, “I’m so grateful that I know the both you.”
Tucking the cards in your pocket, you give her a big hug.
She hugs back, breathing out a small sigh of relief. “Thank you.”
“Thank you for the cards! I’ll go give them to him now!”
She follows behind you as you turn, returning back to the party.
There was no way you would be able to stop smiling.
And once the door closes behind you, you know that your happiness is going to last forever.
Hajime holds his place in the crowd, bouncing around with all of your friends. His eyes, bright with excitement, bring light to his toothy smile. 
He feels comfortable with your friends! Oh, that is the best thing you could ever see!
He almost explodes with joy when he sees you. He finds himself pushing out of the crowd, too impatient to wait for you to reach him.
Immediately, he grabs your hand, pulling you close.
You look him up and down in worry, “Hajime, I’m back and I won’t leave again, I promise, were you okay when I left?” [ ;) ]
He looks stunned for a second before a cheerful smile alights his face. “It’s okay, S/O, I feel happy, this is really helping me!”
His lips fall open to add something, but he stops, rubbing your arms up and down. He adds, to end your concerns, “Hey, I’m having fun.”
“That’s all I wanted, Hajime.”
Chiaki passes you, going into the crowd, and you remember the point of your trip. 
A look of recognition dawns on your face as he sends you a warm inquisitive gaze.
A grand smile greets his gaze as you gleefully pull out the tickets. “I thought we could go together.”
His hands glaze over them, as realization settles in and sheer joy replaces his brief confusion. “The arcade! Where did you get these?”
Your lips purse into a grin. “It was a gift... from our friends.”
“Well, let’s go back to the party,” his intertwines your fingers, kissing your knuckles before dragging you back to the lights.
Shuichi Saihara
You sharpen your tie, trying to tighten it.
“If you keep messing with it it’s going to become uneven,” Maki scolds you, pushing your hands away from your own clothes.
“And then that will be my problem, but for now, let me fidget all I want.”
Maki scoffs, crossing her arms with her usual puffy face.
A couple of minutes ago, you knocked on her room’s door in a panic with the impossible situation of tying a tie.
You did not know, and Maki was the only person who would even think to know how to.
At first, she almost shut the door in your face, but you asked her for only one thing, she let you come in.
“What’s this even for.” She asks now, still agitated that you even bothered her.
“Oh... I asked Shuichi to play tennis with me!” You cheerfully reply, folding your hands together. “Me and Ryoma used to practice together.”
Maki responds with a dark look her voice dripping with cynicism. “He’ll think it’s a trap. You don’t really think this will end well, right?”
Defiantly, you respond, “I do think so! Plus, he trusts me."
There’s a slight break in her steely glare as she sighs. Under her breath, she mutters, “Just don’t get either of you killed.”
“Hm?”
“I said you’re an idiot, now leave.” Her fingers fidget with her bow, puffing it up anxiously.
Even though the SHSL Assassin’s tone reflects her irritation, her face shows an almost soft concern.
But she’s Shuichi’s friend.
She has to like you... right?
Right.
...Right?
The clock reads noon but the hallway is as dark as ever.
Ever since the last case, everyone’s mood has been down, and everyone has removed themselves from the dining room to reside in their dorms.
You go to open your door, but quickly, a hand covers yours. You gasp.
“Eh... S/O!” Shuichi exclaims.
“Shuichi, you scared me!”
“Aah... sorry, sorry.”
You lean up, your face close to his, so you naturally take a step back. “So, let’s get on our way then!”
Two pairs of feet stride around the school, knowing exactly their destination and everything involved.
And two pairs of eyes anxiously glance at each other, not knowing the boundaries each one possesses.
Once your hand lands on the doorknob to your friends’ lab, the sound of your own heartbeat becomes too prominent for your comfort.
It’s just a game of tennis.
That you are definitely going to win.
“Have you ever played tennis before, Shuichi?”
He walks through the door, knowing this place a little too well.
“Uhm... no.”
With a smile, you pick two rackets up and a ball, eyeing them and examining their physique. 
“That’s great, so it means I will win.”
A small smile forms on his lips, his eyes squinting at the comment.
“Well... let’s see. Maybe I’ll get the hang of it.” He politely takes a racket from your hand, swinging it to test the grip while you cross the court to get on your own side.
“I mean, Shuichi, you know the logistics, right?” You call.
“Uhm, swing the bat and hit the ball? No double bouncing, too.”
“First of all, it’s a racket and not a bat,” you correct with a smile, getting into your stance, “and second of all - take THIS!”
Before he can even blink a ball hits the wall behind him with a loud bang.
He jumps, taking huge steps away. “Woah!”
You tease, “What? You think you could win against me? I trained with the Super High School frickin’ Level Tennis Player!”
His eyes widen and he takes a second to process what just happened. The ball curves to his feet, allowing him to pick it up.
“Does... Does this mean that I serve now?”
You shrug with a cunning smile. “I don’t know. I’m not a tennis player.”
The response given to him tingles his bones, running through his joints just to provoke him. He throws the ball in the air, swinging the racket and sending it your way.
You hit back to him, and the game begins.
With a grunt, you guide the ball his way with an aggressive hit, once again making him move out of the way.
“That’s unfair,” he calls out, “there’s no way I can return that.”
“Thirty-love.”
Huffing, he picks up the ball again, wondering if he will ever catch a break within this building.
He serves the ball, to which you easily return to him, and with all his might, he hits the ball. 
It doesn’t even bounce to the ground.
“Aah!” You hop out of the way, brain sending alarms throughout your entire body. “Not fair.”
“Hey, I’m having fun!” He responds, trying to hide the smile on his face.
“I’ll count that as a point, so you have fifteen now, I suppose.”
He watches as you pick up the ball, tossing it in your hand. He couldn’t help but keep a loose grin on his face.
The game comes out fair, with you having forty-five and him still having fifteen.
Honestly, you feel like if you lose you’ll let Ryoma down somehow.
You make it like your life’s purpose to win!
He serves, hitting it aggressively, in which you use all of your strength to return. He’s been catching on by watching you swing. Just like the SHSL Detective should, supposably.
You swing the bat again, your arms feeling like they just came out of their socket.
He goes to return it but ends up having the ball bounce off of his racket, rolling on the floor. He didn’t even try to hit it.
Amazement fills your eyes. You won!
You jump up and down, clenching the racket to your chest.
“Aah... Good work, S/O!” He chimes in, turning to return his racket and the ball back where you took it. 
You skip happily over to him, returning yours as well. “You’re the only person I’ve played with other than Ryoma.”
Shuichi looks at you, satisfaction replacing the seemingly constant angst laced in his eyes.
“We should play together again sometime.”
A warm feeling covers your chest. “Yeah... that would be nice! Let’s see if you can win!”
He heads towards the door. You follow, still on a high because of your win.
When he opens it, however, he jumps in place. 
“Who ended up winning?” Maki asks.
Shuichi moves past her and out into the hallway, turning away from you. 
“I may have let him win.”
Huffing, you cross your arms in embarrassment. “I was still three points ahead.”

The Improv Show
Request by imvibin69
Maybe a Ben x reader where the reader and Ben use to do improv during college but run into eachother at an improv competition a few years later realizing how amazing they worked together and how they missed eachother.
---
Ben Schwartz x Reader
A/N : Thank you for you request ! I know that you ask for a competition but the charity show was a better fit for the idea so I hope you don’t mind. Really sorry for taking so long too, I wasn’t sure if you wanted a romantic situation or a  friendship kind of miss each other so I kind of do both. I hope you will like it and let me know !
* English is not my first language, I tried really hard to correct myself but, I hope you will excuse me if some mistakes are still there. —-
You didn’t know what you were thinking when you had agreed to perform in the charity event of your friend. In fact, yes you know. You hadn’t been able to say no to his begging eyes and the confession he made you of being scared to not be able to bring enough people and at least one celebrity. You had first tried to make him realize that you hadn’t improved since college, that you will probably be too rusty. But, he had brushed it off, replying that it was like riding a bicycle. You never forget how to do it, even if you tried.
It’s then how you had ended up that night, standing on a corner in a warm room with a bunch of people you don't know in a small theater in Los Angeles. Sometimes,in the little river au face, you thought to recognize some minor and more big celebrities . Like this guy with the strawberry blond hair that you swear had seen on a Netflix Billboard on the side of the boulevard. Wait, Is that Tina Fey ?
Closing your eyes, taking some deep breath, you suddenly heard a voice you could easily recognize everywhere.
“ So it’s true, he really succeeded to make you perform again” The familiar voice tells, clearly amused.
Opening your eyes, discovering the tall stature of  Ben in front of you, you couldn't resist at the large smile who suddenly bloomed on your lips.
“ As I can see, you still dress yourself like a teen or a six years old going to a birthday party” You joke, giving a look at his Disney graphic t-shirt, flannel shirt, jeans and sneaker combo.
"Oh come on, you love that look !" He joked, turning on himself, doing one of his little dance.
" On my nephew it looks great yes " You laugh, making the few steps you need to insert yourself between the open arms he was standing open to hug you.
You and Ben had this kind of friendship who could have quickly turned to love, but hadn't happened because of life in general. If you were single, he had a girlfriend, if he turned single, summer was there and you came back home. At your return, you were the one with a boyfriend.
It sometimes leads to some weird and awkward situation. Like that time when during an improvement, you had to kiss and Ben's girlfriend shouted at him after the show because he never smiles like that after he kissed her.
And then, college ended and you both took different ways. Of course, at first you tried to keep contact, but it quickly became difficult to hang out, both busy with your life.
“ You know, you just cost me a  twenty, I had bet that you didn’t come, but here you are “  He said, releasing you of his hug.
“ Yes, here I am. And you deserve to lose that money if you bet against me Schwartz.” You joke smiling.
“ It’s good to see you again. You look stunning. “
“ Thank you, you look good too. L.A fit you mister Big Star. I saw Sonic, I love it. You did such a great job“
“ Oh please, no, don’t call me that...I’m glad that you like the movie. They let me try to do the SEGA, they didn’t take it for the movie but it was awesome !”
“ Please, every performer has to go to the side of the stage where they will be separate in two group, the show will start in ten minutes.Good show” A woman loudly tells, directing people out of the room.
“ Are you ready ? “ Ben asked. “ I think so…” You reply, trying to calm the knock on your stomach.
“ You will be great, come on, I will be there “
“ Oh ! and this is suppose to help me ? “ You laugh, following the group.
“ It always did, no ?” He laughed.
---
As the show was ending, the clapping and cheering of the crowd sending sparks of joy and adrenaline into your veins. You gave a look to Ben, a huge grin on his face, waving. You never realize how much you have missed all this before.
Your brain running to find a quick idea or a funny reply, the incroyable bond you have with Ben and the facility you understand the idea of each other. The laughs filling the room.
“ That was incredible! You didn’t lost your touch ! “ Ben exclaimed as you came back into the small room to take your coat and bag.
“ I agree, I didn’t think I missed that that much. You were so natural and funny ! “ You smile.
“ I miss so much doing improv with you, all these crazy ideas we had ! “
“ I know, I miss it too. But it’s okay, I understand that Thomas and you are made for each other. A bromance that even Mario Kart hadn’t broken, that’s rare ! “ You joke.
Thomas had entered the life of Ben few years before you lost contact, even if you didn’t interact much, you remember him as a eccentric, fun and polite guy.
" True, it almost broke us.” Ben replied, laughing at the memory of that famous game of Mario Kart.
" You had cheated by letting that banana just before the finish line ! “ You shout, laughing, putting on your jacket.
“ It was a brilliant technique, really legit “ He argued, keeping the exit door open.
“ No it’s isn’t”
“ Then take your revenge. “ Ben suddenly proposed.
“ What ? “ You asked, surprise.
“ If you don’t have anything to do, we could go to my house to get your revenge. “ He said.“ If your boyfriend didn’t wait for you of course…”
“ I don’t have a boyfriend right now…” You confessed.
“ Aren’t we going to disturb your girlfriend if we come home to play video games at this hour? “
“ I don’t have a girlfriend,so that should be cool” He replied, an adorable smile on his face.
Butterflies flying now freely in your stomach as the fact that you were, for once, both free at the same times. Opening the many possibilities. You look briefly away, before coming back to your senses.
“ I will take King Boo “ You simply tell, a playful smile on your lips
“ Let me guess, you will take Donkey Kong ?” 
Laughing, Ben's smile becomes even bigger.
“ Yes, like always. It’s good to be back like before you know…” He said.
“ Yes it is...but I hope this time we never let go on each others”
“ I swear. “
“ I swear “ You promise too.
As you were walking to his car, bumping into each other, joking. You thanked your friend to push you to do this and gave you the chance that Ben and you didn’t take in college.

The Screaming Bunny (2/?)
A day late, but Happy Halloween. You asked for a Halloween treat, so here it is. Enjoy!
~
Halloween was a terrible time to go out. The streets were packed with people dressed up as drunk monsters, superheroes, sexy costumes of whatever possible, and terrible imitations of the Gotham criminals and their ragtag gangs. Also, sexy Joker costumes, ugh. Petty crimes also saw a spike on this night in Gotham, though it was nothing the GCPD or Batman and Robin couldn’t handle on their own.
Admittedly, Tim should be out on patrol right now or perhaps working on those new business acquisition reports for WE. There are a million other things he should be doing right now – like monitoring criminal activities tonight or keeping an eye out on anyone dressed like an Arkham Criminal. He should be also reading a new book, Grit: The Power of Passion and Perseverance, because Human Resource has been getting on his case to finish the book.
There are honestly a million other things Tim should be doing right now. He definitely should not be squeezing through a packed crowd of sweat, latex, leather, and lace.
But here he was at The Screaming Bunny. In that stupid domino mask. Again.
The private club had sent out an email to all its members of tonight’s “Spooks and Spanks” event. He shouldn’t be here but Tim would be lying if he said that he was not intrigued after the interesting run-in last month.
The club was packed tonight, drawing a crowd dressed in virtually anything or nothing. A couple of bloodied nurses in uniforms too tight to pass hospital standards scurried past Tim and disappeared around the corner. Tim carefully maneuvered his way through the club and towards the bar, hopeful to get a drink.
Soft techno music filled the club and allowed people in the lounge area to either dance or talk to each other. Club policy allowed for alcoholic drinks only by the bar and common area, Tim learned. Alcoholic drinks, and drunk members for that matter, were not allowed in any of the pleasure chambers or dungeons.
Yes, Tim made an effort to go through the club’s policies.
“Hey, what can I get you?” a topless bartender appeared, dressed nothing but a pair of extremely tight police shorts with a pair of handcuffs dangling from his belt.
“Just a scotch,” Tim replied, this time unfazed by the display of nakedness (or the potential violations of health codes by the lack of clothes). He paid for the drink as it slid across the counter and thanked the guy.
Picking up his drink, Tim pushed himself away from the bar and idly surveyed the scene in front of him. Save for the general nakedness, and the occasional grunts and whipping noises that drifted through the room, the club seemed very much like any other Halloween party tonight. A woman dressed in stockings from head to toe walked past him, roughly tugging along a man in nothing but boxers and a latex mask over his head. Tim blinked at the sight and took a sip of his drink, a few stray thoughts flittering through his mind but he quickly squashed these.
There were a couple of tables and lounge chairs in the corners of the room, Tim thought it would be best perhaps to hang out in the back for a while and let the whole party scene sink in. Tonight was the first time he was here as an actual patron and not tailing a criminal. Dodging a couple of plastic horns and demon wings, Tim easily slid through the standing crowd and spotted an empty spot on the couch next to a couple of purple and pink furry monsters (monsters? Tim wasn’t all too sure).
Sliding past a group of men in lingerie, Tim made a beeline for the lounge area. He immediately stopped in his tracks however and quickly spotted why he came tonight. Or why his curiosity peeked in the first place. His grip tightened around his scotch glass and something in his chest fluttered.
Over the crowd of lace, latex, leather, nakedness, and fake blood, purple eyes caught his own. Tim swallowed and felt his breath catch.
From across the room, Raven – Rachel – stared at Tim for a millisecond before turning her attention back to the couple covered in body paint seated across of her.  He watched her chuckle and talk to the couple before her eyes slid back to him and he swore her lips quirked just a little bit. He felt heat rush to his face as he took in her appearance, her pale skin and black hair stood out against the white of her impossibly tight leather corset. And, oh, was that a little halo over her head?
Should he go over? Tim found himself momentarily fumble. Of course he should. Wasn’t this why he came back? Because he was curious? Because he wanted – Tim blinked and caught his thoughts as Raven waved him over.
Oh god.
“You’re back,” Raven said to him once he finally approached their table. She offered him a playful smile and her purple eyes danced in the dim lights. She tilted her head and leaned back just a little bit as she eyed him with that amused smile of hers. “Why don’t you join us?” she asked, scooting down the leather sofa to make room for him in their little corner of the lounge area.
“Sure,” Tim felt a rush of emotions run down his back at the invitation – and that smile – and sat down next to her, leaving respectable room between them. Trying not to focus too much on an intriguingly amused Raven (why was she so amused? He needed to know), he placed his scotch glass on the small glass table and offered the other two women a smile. “Hello.”
“This is Tracy and Lady X,” Raven introduced, pointing at a small redheaded woman in a skimpy Super Mario costume with a dog collar and a blonde woman in complete leopard body paint. Raven gracefully pointed at each woman with her drink in her hand. Tilting her head towards Tim, she eyed him in mild amusement. “And this is…” she trailed off.
“Red,” Tim supplied smoothly and smiled at the two women. “Nice to meet you,”
“Red,” Raven repeated with an amused lilt in her voice before hiding her smile into her mojito glass. She leaned into the sofa, looking impossibly comfortable and blissfully ignoring how surreal everything truly was – Tim and her in club filled with naked people. It just felt surreal. He swallowed.
“So what are you supposed to be?” asked Tracy curiously, leaning forward just a little bit and eyeing Tim’s costume skeptically.
Tim felt his neck and cheeks burn at the attention. He had not put much thought into wearing any particular costume tonight – because what does one wear to a private BDSM club Halloween party really? “Ah, a random biker?” he replied, chuckling softly. He hoped his jeans and the leather vest he was wearing passed those standards.
Tracy chuckled with him and offered him a sympathetic smile. “Good try,”
“Random Biker Red,” Raven hummed next to him barely audible over the noise. He caught her staring at him, that amused smile never really disappearing. Tim swallowed and caught her eye briefly before reaching for his drink.
“How did you guys meet?” asked Lady X curiously. “I don’t think I’ve seen you around before,”
“He’s a new bunny,” Raven easily supplied and Tim felt his inside twist lightly at the word bunny. There it was again and he fought every urge not to openly stare at Raven. “I just bumped into him a few weeks ago,” she said.
“Ohh,” Tracy leaned forward just a little bit, her eyes sparkling in clear mischief. “Is he going to be your dom, Rachel?”
Tim coughed loudly into his drink at her words and he was sure Raven felt his spike of emotions as she shot him a quick glance. Dom? As in – holy shit. He blinked and tried to ignore how loudly his heart beat in his ears. He ignored the hot jolt than ran through him. “I – ugh, her what?”
Raven rolled eyes at Tracy and sent Tim an amused smile. “Easy. He’s new, Tracy,”
Ignoring Raven, the woman dressed up like a very sexy Mario brother leaned over their glass table and whispered very loudly. “She’s looking for a dom or a switch, just so you know,”
“Oh,” breathed Tim and his gaze involuntarily turned to Raven, who quirked her lips lightly in response. Well, was that information Tim needed? He wasn’t sure. But will he store this information for later? Yes. He inhaled softy as his stomach flopped and stray thoughts flittered through his head. He silently wondered if Dick knew about all of this – Dick would kick is his ass if he knew he was here with Raven.
“So you were saying about your plans?” Raven turned her attention back to the couple across of them. Crossing her legs, Tim’s heart jumped at the sight of thigh-high white stockings, Raven comfortably leaned back into the sofa and eyed her friends. If she could sense his keyed up emotions, she displayed no indication. “Are you expanding your studio or not?”
“Oh, yeah. Like I said we hit a few snags when we opened one of the old walls and discovered that the piping needed replacing. Most of the pipes are ancient like Gotham,” Tracy made a face and took a hearty swig from her cosmopolitan. “I’m talking to some contractors to see what can be done,”
Raven frowned. “Didn’t they tell you about the piping issue when they sold you the adjacent complex?”
Lady X rolled her eyes and leaned back into her seat with a sigh of exasperation. Some of her silver bracelets clinked as she moved around. “They did but we didn’t expect that it’d be that bad.” She shrugged and sent Tim an annoyed look. “Some of these brokers are just lying assholes, you know,”
Tim blinked trying to catch up with the conversation. Admittedly he was a bit miffed at the normalcy of the conversation on renovation work in the middle of a BDSM club. But then again, what did he expect to hear tonight? “I’m sorry, I’m not following?” he blinked and offered them an apologetic smile.
“Tracy owns an art studio,” Raven explained and took a tiny sip from her mojito. “They’re expanding the studio but hit some snags along the way,”
Tim nodded. “You’re an artist? That’s amazing,” he said. Tracy blushed at the praise while Lady X seemed to beam with pride. Leaning forward over the table just a little bit, she grinned at Tim.
“She painted all of this,” she said and waved a perfectly manicured hand over her body. “Such a talented artist, my little pet is,” she practically purred and sent Tracy a fond smile.
Tim blinked and ignored the pet endearment. Briefly glancing at Raven, he shared an amused smile with her, and looked at the intricate leopard body paint on the woman’s body. He nodded and smiled at them. “That’s really beautiful,” he said.
“Thanks,” Tracy beamed. She fiddled with her empty cosmopolitan glass. “So yeah, I’m trying to get something arranged with a few contractors to fix the old piping. We tore down a few walls to open up the space and discovered the piping was rusty and not up to building code. We need that fixed before we can proceed with expansion renovations of the annex building,”
“You could also go after the guys who sold you the place. If they were not totally upfront with the issues of the complex you’re getting, maybe there’s something that could be done?” suggested Tim. And he immediately went into details of some legal remedies they could take.
“Oh wow. Okay,” Tracy nodded and released a deep breath. “That sounds like something we could do,”
Tim took a sip of the last of his scotch and offered her a smile. “Talk to your lawyer to figure something out,”
Lady X sent Raven a look and her black eyes sparkled mischievously under the dim orange lights. “Looks like your new friend is pretty useful,” she said.
Raven chuckled and shrugged. “Looks like it,” she said playfully and the two shared a smile.
A man dressed in nothing but black appeared next to their table suddenly. The words ‘Dungeon Monitor’ were written across a bright orange sash he wore. “The St. Andrew’s Cross is ready for you, Lady X,” he said before turning around and heading back to the pleasure areas.
“Wonderful,” Lady X clapped her hands and stood up. “Come, my pet,” Tim watched as Lady X bent over just a little bit and hooked one of her fingers through the large silver hoop that hung from Tracy’s collar. She tugged the woman into a standing position and gently pulled her away from their table. “You’ll come watch us?” she asked them over her shoulder.
“Watch?” Tim breathed, his brain catching up with what that truly meant.
Raven smiled and shrugged at the woman. “We’ll try to catch up. Enjoy,”
The woman in leopard body paint shrugged with a smile. “Your loss,” she said before roughly tugging Tracy through the crowd.
Tim watched them disappear around the corner and into one of the pleasure corners, or dungeons, he wasn’t all too sure. They were likely the same – and did they just invite them to watch them? He stared at the corner for a second too long.
“Curious?”
Raven’s voice brought him back from his thoughts and Tim turned back to Raven, and finally, finally¸ got a better look at her as she turned her full attention towards him and shifted in her seat to face him. She was dressed in a plain leather white corset and tiny white booty shorts that really left nothing to the imagination. He was sure he stared a second too long, as Raven tilted her head expectantly and the corners of her eyes crinkled just a little bit in amusement.
“Oh,” Tim breathed and felt his ears ring just a little bit. He watched her shift gracefully in her seat and folded one of her legs under her as she faced him. “I don’t know,” he said honestly. He swallowed nervously and surveyed the crowd of naked people around them. “I’m honestly not sure why I came back,”
Raven shrugged and idly took a sip from her mojito. “That’s okay. It’s a lot to take in,” she said. She offered him a small smile. “It’s nice you’re back though,”
Something stirred inside of him and Tim smiled lightly. “Yeah?”
Raven tilted her head lightly and her eyes shone under the dim lights. They could hear the loud cracks of a whip through the air, and Tim watched her gaze slip over his shoulder. Her lips curled just a tiny bit. He swallowed as a thought crossed his mind – did she want that? He felt heart jump into his throat at the stray thought and watched a languid smile grow on her lips as her attention turned back to him. “How do you like it so far?” she asked as she propped her left elbow on the back of the sofa and dropped her chin into her hand, eyeing him in amusement.
“I got good company,” Tim chuckled as Raven snorted softly. He absently fiddled with his glass before placing it on the table. “I’m surprised how normal conversations are here,”
“What? The building expansions? What did you think we’d talk about here?” Raven asked teasingly. She watched Tim look around briefly and take in the people milling around the lounge area. “I don’t know,” he replied as he turned back to Raven.
Raven smiled assuringly. “Clubs like these are close to any other club. What makes places like these special is the level of trust and respect that goes into these places and among the patrons. You come here as yourself, you can explore and enjoy what you like – with appropriate safety limits – and there’s no judgement. Just as safe space for being yourself. With the level of trust and respect that goes into places like these, you’d be surprised how much safer they are compared to your regular clubs,” she said. She looked around briefly before turning back to Tim. “Consent is important here.”
“I noticed that,” said Tim, nodding his head in agreement. He did see how vastly more respectful the crowd was here compared to any other club he had been too. He turned his attention back to her, taking in how comfortable, and alluring, she looked. “So, I’m a Random Biker, what are you?” he asked playfully.
Raven laughed, a sound he was growing to quite like hearing, and titled her head making the little plastic halo dance over her head. “I thought it’d be funny to dress like an angel, all things considering,” she said.
“You make a pretty impressive angel,” he said before he could really think it through. They both paused, ambient techno music falling over them, and they shared a look. Tim watched as Raven’s lips lifted into a small, pleasant smile.
“Were you able to have a look around?” she asked suddenly.
Tim shook his head. “No, when I saw you three I just about arrived.”
“Well then,” Raven breathed and offered him a mysterious smile. The ambient techno music shifted into a louder dance beat and the crowd cheered. “You’re not busy tonight, finally,” she began and leaned into his space just a little bit. He could faintly smell her lavender perfume. “Let’s go have a look around tonight.”
He watched her gracefully stand up and Tim was sure his breath caught in his throat as she stood before him in nothing but her leather corset. He knew it was impolite to stare, but – she was a sight. It was mindboggling to see such a different side of Raven from all the years he had known her – and he would be lying to say he was thirsty to see this side of her more.
As a muted groan drifted through the air and the two shared a look, and Tim admitted that yes, he was curious. So damn curious – he was Tim Drake after all.
“Sure,” he said. He stood up next to her and Raven beamed, bending over and picking up something discarded on the table. A thin riding crop.
Despite her strappy heels, Raven barely came up to his chin. She tilted her head up just a little bit and Tim watched as the shadows of some of the spider decorations danced across her collarbones and cheeks. He held his breath. She held the riding crop in her hands and smiled. “Great, let’s make sure you have fun tonight,” she told him softly.
Tim desperately wanted to know what that meant.
