Do you respond to comments? Why or why not?

I love comments. I haven't always responded to all of them--there were periods when my kid was little, especially, when my actions didn't meet my intentions, but nowadays I respond to all of them. I consider fanfiction as my way of engaging with the fandom, with the people who love the same stuff I love, so when someone reaches out to me, that's my best opportunity to connect. I've made a lot of friends in the comments of fanfics. <3

Do you write crossovers?

Not really. I don't read them, either.

Do you write smut? If so, what kind?

Yes, but not often. I love a good romance and even a bit of a build up of tension and kissing and touching, but more often than not, I leave the real smut to the imagination. A notable exception is:

I Get By (With a Little Help From My Friends): Lord of the Rings - Legolas and Gimli seduce Aragorn as a way to distract him from his troubles. (This is the fic I hope my LOTR-loving mom NEVER finds!)

Have you ever had a fic stolen?

Not that I know of? I'd like to think that someone would let me know if that happened.

Have you ever had a fic translated?

Yes! I've had a lot of people ask/offer to translate them, but a handful have really been done. I'm super grateful that these lovely people did the work:

Прощай, оружие: a Russian translation (by Fuyu_no_Mafuyu) of A Farewell to Arms

Stars: a Russian translation (by rootofallevil) of Stars

In the Closet: a Mandarin translation (by Voltsliart) of In the Closet

Последняя ошибка: A Russian translation (by Fuyu_no_Mayfuyu) of His Last Mistake

Комета Эша: A Russian translation (by Fuyu_no_Mayfuyu) of Ash's Comet

Have you ever co-written a fic before?

I started out in fanfiction by collaborating with my sister on Little Women fanfics that never saw the light of day, and yes, we've also collaborated on a few other stories, too. Namely, a series of Legolas/Gimli fics that are all in the same universe:

The Second Breakfast Club: Lord of the Rings - A high school AU where the fellowship come together in a series of Saturday detention sessions. Co-written by lisafer

Closer: Lord of the Rings - Legolas and Gimli explore their brand new relationship in a way fairly typical of teenagers. Co-written by lisafer

St. Aule's Fire: Lord of the Rings - When Legolas and Gimli move in together, they quickly realize that love isn't enough to keep a relationship strong. Co-written by lisafer

What's your all time favorite ship?

My husband jokes that AshEiji is the primary relationship in my life. I've shipped those two for over 20 years and I don't see any other ship coming anywhere close, honestly.

What's a WIP that you want to finish but probably never will?

I started a novel about Eowyn from Lord of the Rings. I really want to finish it, but I need to learn how to write in a way that works. Right now it's okay, but I need it to sing. The first few chapters are on AO3:

Untouched: Lord of the Rings - the events of the War of the Ring from the point of view of Eowyn of Rohan.

What are your writing strengths?

I've been told I'm good at characterization, dialogue, and conveying emotions. I think I'm good with word choice and adding rhythm to my prose.

What are your writing weaknesses?

I'm slow. Part of it is that I'm meticulous--I've never learned to draft, so I can't move on from a sentence or a scene until it feels exactly the way I want it to. That has derailed many, many fics over the years. Also, I'm not great with strong endings. I'm working to improve that.

What's a fandom/ship you haven't written for yet, but want to?

I have SuperBat in my head and heart, but I'm far too scared to write it. I don't know if I can do that ship justice.

What's your favorite fic that you've written?

This is a difficult question, because I tend to love the stuff I've written most recently. But I really like these:

Just Say Yes: Banana Fish - This is an extreme canon-divergence, where Eiji doesn't get to New York until five years after the events of Banana Fish. He's an Olympic medalist in a bit of an identity crisis and ends up in fake marriage to Ash Lynx to get a green card.

Dear Boss (A Confession): Banana Fish - Ash gets a letter from Alex, his second in command, who feels obligated to confess a secret that might get him killed.

The Undying: Lord of the Rings - Gimli helps Legolas finally build the boat that takes him far from Middle Earth.

Triptych: Banana Fish - My one and only exploration of Shorter/Ash/Eiji

Shades of Light: Gundam Wing - Quatre and Heero deal with their shared grief after Trowa is killed on a mission. (This is VERY old and I've outgrown the writing style, but I still love it!)

Minors & Ageless Blogs DNI • Smut Below

You come home in a mood. A bad one. Just nothing went right today. And you’re laying in bed, stuck in a doomscroll situation when Kiri walks in. He tries his usual methods of cheering you up but it’s clear this is gonna take more advanced methods. You need to work off some of this frustration you’re feeling and he knows just the way.

He pokes at your side, tickling you a little, and you squirm and try to swat his hand away but he can see your smirk. If you really weren’t in the mood, you’d tell him, but since you didn’t use your serious word and just tried shooing him away with a, “Eiji, noooo,” he kept going.

Little tickles all up and down your squishy sides, the backs of your knees too when you tried to use your legs to push him away, and what started with tickles quickly turns into an all out play fight.

It was obvious he’d overpower you in any real situation but here in the bedroom, he let you think you stood a chance. Your arms would grab and try to tickle him back but he’d pin you and you’d have to break free to try again. But when you wrapped those gorgeous thighs around him was when the real fun would begin.

“You’re turn on already??” You asked him, a little breathy from the struggle, and that just made his cock twitch again.

“Can ya blame me, sweetheart?” He smiles and moves quickly to pin your hands over your head. “You’re trying to escape but all you’re really doin’ is grind on my cock. Think you’re the one who’s turned on…”

You still wiggled and squirmed but this time he wasn’t letting you go. “If you’re gonna be doing that, let’s get rid of these, okay?” It only takes one hand for him to rip through your panties. “Muuuch better. And so fuckin’ wet too, get like this every damn time.” He glides a finger through your folds while his other hand keeps yours pinned above your head.

He’s got you perfectly trapped and spread open for him, fingers working you over and over again until you’re absolutely begging for more from him which he happily gives you. Fucks you senseless until you forget why you were even mad ♥︎ works every time.

☆༉ — EIJIROU KIRISHIMA. ribbons, restraint and resolve.

about. eijirou kirishima loves to be tied up and restrained in the bedroom but not for the reasons you may think.

warnings. minors, blank and ageless blogs do not interact ! nsfw, smut, bondage, ribbon as a restraint, slight!dom / sub dynamics, edging, begging, orgasm control, kirishima is slightly mean, pro hero!kirishima, fem!reader.

kirishima who likes to be tied up. even though you both know that he’s big enough and strong enough to break through any type of restraint that you own. he likes the restriction, likes how you use him all for yourself, likes how you get too tired too quickly and start to cry out for him to move or fuck up into you.

kirishima who gets a little mean when he’s all tied up, faux pouting up at you — his voice a little higher, mocking you, while you whimper and plead. “ah, ah, ah sweetheart,” he sucks his teeth coyly, fighting a smile, his wrists pretending to struggle against the bed posts and red ribbon. “you said you wanted to have your fun with me. isn’t this fun?”

“n-no!” you cry out; punished by the twitch of eijiro’s cock against your silky, arousal lined walls. “please move eiji, please. i-i’ll untie you, i’ll say i’m sorry. just, please—“

leaning forward, kirishima’s arms bulge as they flex against his silken restraints. golden skin stretches over the muscle, blue veins prominent beneath the surface as he tilts his head up to kiss you. it’s slow, calculated and cunning — the kiss is. one that eijirou knows will only rile you up and make you weak in the knees.

it’s the type of kiss that shrouds your brain in darkness and consumes your every thought until all you can think about is your primal desire to please him.

it’s made obvious in the way your tight hole oozes a honeyed nectar down your boyfriend’s monstrously thick cock. if you tried hard enough, moved your hips a little more, you could get his sticky cockhead to press down on the perfect spot to make you cum and lose all ties to sanity.

but you can’t, not without red riot’s help.

“i thought you wanted to be in control?” eijirou teases, his tongue pressing up against the backs of his pearly white teeth as he smirks up at you. sinister. “you don’t want that, don’t want me to flip you over, take charge from you. you were having so much fun.”

the condescending lilt to his voice sends a shiver down your spine and the urge to circle your hips straight to your foggy little brain “b-but i don’t! ‘m not… eiji,” comes your desperate, needy little gasp. it’s not enough to have him inside of you, to force yourself up and down his creamy shaft to your heart’s content. you need eijirou to fuck you in that way he likes, deep and hard until you can feel him in your throat and see stars behind your fluttering eyelids. “i can’t… i can’t cum without you. please, eiji.”

his poor little baby, all this begging. is he supposed to feel sorry for you? you’re the one who wanted this. you’d be lying if you said you didn’t like the thrill of using the pro hero how you wanted, riding him until his chest was heaving and flushed. you enjoy torturing yourself on eijirou’s cock just as much as he likes seeing you suffer above him — keeping you right on the edge while he lays almost useless beneath you.

when all he really has to do is move his hips.

and that’s why he loves it. the pathetic mess you’ve become. the pathetic way in which you’ve worked yourself up by having your way with him when really eijirou kirishima has been the one in control all along. he set you up to feel oh so powerful with the mountainous red riot tied to your bed. but what’s even worse is the fact that your body knows it can’t get off without him, without his large hands guiding your hips and whilst his own (much stronger ones) pound at your tight, sluice pussy.

“too bad,” the redhead tuts in amusement, settling back amongst the pillows — his strong wrists firmly planted against the bed posts, somehow looking dainty with the red ribbon that ‘keeps’ them there. “get back to work, sweetheart. come unwrap your present.”

Poly!KiriBaku Headcanons

Author's note: Just some little things on what domestic life is like with these two beefcakes. Enjoy!

- Bakugou and Kirishima are the exact opposite in the morning. More often than not, Kiri sleeps in as late as possible, but he wakes up cheery. Bakugou, on the other hand, is usually the first one up every single morning but he's liability to be around for at least the first hour he's awake.

- You are the classic grumpy morning person. As long as the guys are home, they're usually the ones to wake you up in the morning, and they both know to give you space until you've finished your first cup of coffee.

- As the first one up, Bakugou likes to shower first and make coffee for the three of you before you part ways. If he has the time, he likes to go on a quick morning run/walk and grab pastries from the bakery around the corner.

- On the rare occasion that you do wake up on time, you like to make a quick breakfast for the three of you to eat, packing them both bentos for lunch as well.

- There was one time Kiri walked in to the kitchen, following the smell of breakfast and coffee, only to find you bent over the kitchen counter, practically drooling as Bakugou relentlessly pounds into you, taking out his bad mood. Bakugou just grins at the redhead when he looks up to find him staring, not missing a beat as he reaches around to thumb at your clit until you're begging for release, thighs shaking as you gush on his cock. Bakugou's not far behind, grunting as he pulls your hips back against him to fill you up, grip hard enough to leave bruises. Kirishima just watches the whole thing over his coffee cup, pants feeling tight from where he sits at the dining table.

- You're weak now, Bakugou's arm the only thing keeping you up as he gives you both a moment to breath before he's slipping out of you and pulling his pants back up. head leaning on the table as bakugou keeps you standing, giving you a moment to catch your breath before he's slipping out of you and pulling his pants of his hero suit back up and tucking himself away. He leans down to pull your leggings up as well, silent as he scoops you up and dumps you in a chair next to Kirishima, serving you both a heaping plate of eggs.

- You're a little dazed from the events of the morning, whining as you get placed down before crawling into Kirishima's lap in need of affection.

- The three of you rarely have any serious fights, but due to his temper and your stubbornness it's not unusual for you and Bakugou to bicker. You love each other dearly, but you've been known to butt heads over the smallest things. It rarely ever gets out of hand. Most of the time one of you breaks pretty quickly and you both laugh it off and move on.

- This courtesy does not extend to game night. You and Katsuki are known for full on screaming at each other and making Eiji play referee to whatever the nights chosen game was.

- You never let Katsuki live it down when you absolutely crush him in Mario Kart.

- I hc that as he gets older, Kiri starts growing his hair out more and he looovesss to sit between your legs and let you play with and braid his hair.

- Bakugou's not big on you playing with his hair but sometimes he does let you paint his nails a solid black, claiming it looks good with his hero suit.

- With them being busy pro heros, getting everyone's schedules to align can be difficult, but you make it a goal for all three of you to sit down for dinner together at least once a week. Most of the other nights, it's usually you with either one of them, or you don't even have dinner together at all.

- Bakugou's not much of a partier, so he's usually the DD when y'all go out with your friends. He does enjoy a drink or two on the nights he's not too tired to stay up after work. When you guys host, it becomes Kirishima's personal mission to get him absolutely /trashed/.

- Bakugou becomes VERY clingy when he drinks and he opens up in a way his friends don't usually get to see. You find it quite endearing.

- Before the three of you formally announced your relationship to your group of friends, everyone could tell with how handsy he was with Kiri. Everything finally came to a head once Shoto walked in on them making out in the hallway. He came back, nervous to tell you how he had caught your boyfriend's infidelity, and you couldn't help but burst into laughter when the blonde in question came back into the room, Kiri in tow, both of their faces bright red at being caught.

- It took your friends no time to warm up to the idea, Mina jumping up with a squeal and shouting at how Denki now owed her money from a bet.

- At night, you guy switch between the two bedrooms depending on the mood. Bakugou's bed is bigger, but there's something extra cozy about how many pillows Kiri keeps.

- The three of you are just a bunch of grown up kids who love each other very much and are doing their best to navigate life together :’)

☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆

You rushed into the elevator and clicked the 6th floor. This couldn’t be real? /He was going to be ok right?/ you thought to yourself as the elevator took its sweet time to get you where you desperately needed to be.

The hospital had called you while you were out on patrol. Saying Kirishima had taken a fatal hit from a villain's quirk attack as he tried to protect civilians.

He usually got back up with no issues, but he didnt this time.The elevator suddenly dinged as its doors opened.

You sprinted down the hall to the room the nurse had given you. You soon made it there only to see Bakugou, Kaminari, Sero and Mina waiting outside the room.

“How am I the last one here dammit?” You sighed in irritation as you moved past them to the door, but Kaminari stopped you.

“Wait before you-” You pushed him away and tried to open the door again. Only to be stopped once more by Bakugou. “Listen to us, you can’t go in there.” He said slowly.

You looked at him irritated and confused. “Let me go Katsuki,” you said sternly, shoving him away from you.

You rushed in the room despite words of caution from the four of them. You froze when you saw Kirishima surrounded by doctors.

You quickly analyzed the situation before all the pieces clicked together with three words. “Time of Death 9:23 pm”

Your ears rang as you fell to your knees, Mina slid next to you and placed her hands on your shoulders. “Honey..”

The tears began to fall, “Eijirou!” you screamed as your fists hit the floor. “N-no!” you sobbed.

You sat up before crawling to his side as he laid still. “We’re so sorry ma’am,we’ll give you the room..” the doctors said quietly before leaving the room.

You sobbed loudly into his chest as you gripped his fading warm hand. “Ei, y-you can’t do this to me please.” you cried.

Your heart shattered even more as you saw his expressionless face wrapped in bandages. Your body shook with sobs as comforting hands rested on your back.

Bakugou walked to the other side of the bed, you looked up at him with red eyes only to see tears pooling in his.

This was the first time any of you had seen Bakugou cry. Mina kneeled on your left while Kaminari stood to your right,placing his hand on Kirishima's shoulder.

Sero stood at the foot of the bed trying to stop his tears but ultimately failing.

“You damn shitty hair.” Bakugou gasped as he tried not to let the noise of his cries out.

You sniffed once more as you felt that warm lump in your throat. You gasped to let out a loud sob only to sit up at the speed of light in your shared bed with Eijirou.

“What the fuck?” you gasped, you quickly looked at the clock on my nightstand. It read 1:03 am.

You turned to your other side and put your hand out expecting it to fall on a sleeping kirishima only to hit the mattress.

/That's right/ you thought to yourself. These nightmares had been recurring ever since eijirou left 2 weeks ago for a hero mission.

You couldn't help but feel like they meant something, especially since you haven't been able to get a hold of him for 2 days.

You sat up in bed, running your hands through your hair as you fought the tear that threatened to weld in my eyes.

You heard whining as you looked to Eiji's side of the bed. "C'mon sage," you said, patting the bed. Your huge german shepherd hopped up from the floor and onto the bed before he laid down.

"I know I miss him too," you said quietly as you stroked his fur slowly. After a moment you realized you weren't going back to sleep so you swung your legs over the side of the bed before making your way downstairs and into the kitchen.

Sage followed close behind you, you reached into the cabinet for a glass and filled it with water. You took a sip as you looked around the quiet house.

You were snapped out of thought when sage began to growl. "What is it buddy?" You asked as you watched his hair stand on end as he lurked down the hall towards the front door.

All the terrible possibilities began running through your head as your stomach dropped. You quietly followed sage to see what he was growling at.

Before you could make it down the hall you heard the door creak as it opened. "Hello?," you called as you raised your hands prepared to use your quirk.

You took a few steps as you heard the door shut. You turned the corner swiftly, preparing for the worst, until you saw an exhausted looking kirishima hunched in the doorway as he shakily petted the dog.

"Oh eiji!" You cried as you ran to him and wrapped in a hug. He fell back on the floor as his breath was knocked out.

"Hey honey," he said as he wrapped his arms around you.

The two of you laid on the floor for a while before you pulled away. "I thought you weren't going to be home for another week?" You asked as you got up before helping him up.

"They let me out early. We got the villains.” He explained as he walked past you to the kitchen. You noticed him limping.

"Baby… you're limping." You said rushing to him to help him walk. "I'm okay. It's not as bad as it looks." He spoke as he sat at the kitchen island.

You frowned as you stood next to him. You pulled him close, letting his head rest on your chest. "I missed you so much, eijirou," you whispered as you ran your fingers through his hair.

"I missed you too, sweetheart." He smiled weakly. "Let's get you cleaned up." You said as you helped him upstairs.

You had him sit on the bed as you grabbed your first aid kit you kept under the bathroom sink. You walked out of the bathroom and back to him before you began to clean the cuts on his face.

Small hisses of pain were heard from him as you did so. "A pro-hero and can't handle a little rubbing alcohol?" You teased him.

He smiled as he laughed a little. "So everything went well on the mission?" You asked as you pulled out some butterfly stitches.

"As well as it could I suppose, no one got seriously hurt and the villains are in custody" he sighed as he began to relax.

You hummed in acknowledgement as you finished up what you were doing, "there you go, all fixed" you said as you rubbed his cheek with your thumb.

He placed his hand over yours softly as he looked at you. "How was everything here while I was gone?" You thought about lying and said "oh it was fine! A little boring but fine, " but it wasn't.

"I'm gonna be honest, terrible." You said as you sat next to him on the bed. " I've been having nightmares almost every night"

You explained as his eyes grew worrisome. "Oh baby…" He cooed as you leaned on his shoulder.

"they were all about terrible things I thought would happen when you were gone, I had one like 20 minutes before you got here actually"

You laughed dryly as you nuzzled into him. He stroked your head with his free hand comfortingly. "I'm sorry baby" he said as he kissed your head.

"It's not your fault don't apologize, it was just really scary" you said. He hummed as he pulled you into a hug. You sank in with no resistance as he held you.

“I'm here now baby..let me take care of you.” He said softly as he pulled away and looked at you.

He held your gaze for a moment before leaning in and kissing you. You whined softly as he did so, realizing just how much you missed him and the way he made you feel.

“Eiji…please” you said softly against his lips. He hummed as he kissed up your jaw before nipping at your earlobe as he whispered in your ear.

“What do you need babygirl?” He murmured in your ear before leaning back to look you in the eye. You practically came then and there.

“Can you..use your mouth..please” You responded with reddened cheeks. "Absoulutly," Kirishima said before eagerly lifting and guiding you back on the large bed without a second thought.

He grabbed the waistband of your pajama bottoms before quickly taking them off and revealing to him you weren't wearing any underwear.

“Fuck baby..this is all I could think about for the past 2 weeks” he mumbled as he made his way on his stomach between your legs.

He gripped your thighs as he pulled you close, putting your legs over his shoulders leaving your dripping pussy mere inches away from his face.

Having kept you waiting long enough he closed the gap as he pressed his tongue flat against your folds, gathering your taste before delving in further.

His tongue prodded at your entrance slightly before making its way to where you wanted it most.

His tongue swirled on your clit precisely making you whine and moan. “Eiji~..” you moaned as your hand reached for the pillow behind your head.

“You're so wet baby~” He slurred as he slurped up your juices and licked your clit sloppily. He couldn't help but rut into the mattress at your sweet noises.

“fuck..mm~ don't stop..” you whined as your back arched in a delicious curve. He moaned against your clit at your pleas, “couldn't even if i wanted to..you taste so fucking good~”

He breathed heavily as he practically drooled into your cunt. You felt your orgasm approach quickly as you sank your fingers into his hair to ground yourself.

“fuck.. eiji~” you gasped as you balled the sheets in your other hand. He could help but tease you a little as he slowed his movements making you whine.

“You're so close, aren't you sweetheart?” He asked even though he knew the answer. “Please…please eiji..I'm right there~” you pleaded.

“God when you beg so sweetly, how can I resist?” he muttered with hungry eyes as he lapped at your clit before wrapping his lips around it and swirling his tongue in circles.

Your climax hit you like a train as you cried out his name in pleasure, unable to prevent your legs from squeezing his head but he wasn't complaining.

Once you caught your breath you legs fell apart releasing kirishima from the vice grip you had him in.

He gasped slightly as you let go, sitting up before scooting forward to kiss you. You moaned as you tasted yourself on his lips.

He licked his lips once he pulled away, his shark teeth almost glistening in the light as he did so.

“You're so pretty when you feel good baby” he purred as he kissed you neck, you hummed in desire as you felt his erection press against you through his pants.

“All because of you eiji~” you cooed sweetly in his ear before you kissed his cheek. “Now let me-” your words were cut off by a bark.

You both looked behind yourselves and saw Sage standing there, his tail wagging as he waited to be let outside.

“Sage buddy, you're killing the mood man,” Kirishima groaned as he rested his head against your shoulder in defeat.

You patted his back as you sat up and reached for your previously discarded pajama pants. “Let me let him out real quick” you said as you pulled your bottoms on as you stood up.

You reached for his face before cupping his cheek lovingly. “Then I'll show you just how much I missed you too” you smirked before giving him a quick peck on the lips.

After you pulled away, you smiled at him before walking out of the room, Sage eagerly following behind you.

Warnings: fingering, oral sex (fem receiving), sub reader, dom Kirishima, unprotected sex.

A/N: FINALLY finished this now that finals are done!

When you and Eijirou first start dating, you see him as this adorably shy man who treats you like a princess. 

You’re walking together in the mall and the large redhead turns to you with a shy grin and an outstretched hand “Do you mind if I…hold your hand” he asks you sweetly as you giggle and interlace your fingers with his. 

In the changing room you stepped out from behind the curtain asking “what do you think, Eijirou?”, you were a little nervous to see his reaction. Kirishima looked up from his phone with the biggest smile and tentatively reached out for you, giving you time to pull back if you wanted to. When you only stepped closer to him with a bright smile, he placed his hands respectfully at your waist, taking in the soft silk baby blue dress you wore with heated cheeks. “[Y/N]...look at you…you’re gorgeous” the redhead speaks so genuinely, completely unafraid to express his true feelings…the perfect gentleman. You smirk and reach up to plant a soft kiss on his cheek.

When you get the the checkout and smile at the cashier before searching in your purse for your card, Eijirou smoothly pulls out his wallet and taps his card, grinning at you goofily when you turn to him and pout “Eijirou…you didn't have to…”. Kirishima only continues to look down at you grinning and boops you on the nose “You’re too pretty to pout Angel”. It was the first time he called you that, and with the way it made your face heat up and had you unable to look him in the eyes…it just kind of stuck.

“So have you and Kiri had sex yet?” Mina asks, eyeing the redhead in question from her spot on the lounge chair. Feeling your face heat up, you raise your sunglasses to sit on top of your head, turning to eye Kirishima as well, watching him sipping on a beer, standing in the pool laughing with Sero and Kaminari. Crimson eyes meet your own and you quickly look back to Mina “No…we haven’t…” the pink haired girl raises a brow and you continue “Eiji’s just so…good and the most patient man…we’re taking it slow”. You turn back to Kirishima “Besides…I’m kind of shy about the whole thing and we’ve been together for 8 months now…I don’t know if he wants me that way…”.  Mina gives you a sly look “Trust me…if that man’s sex drive is anything like it used to be…he wants you” you gawk at her and swat her arm, laughing “Mina…please!!”. Although it makes you think…will you have to make the first move on him? Is he shy?

Eijirou is definitely not shy.

When he finally lets your relationship get to the next level, Kirishima pleasures you so intently, with so much purpose that it’s almost too much. And his eyes… that crimson gaze, locking eyes with you, watching to make sure you’re okay as his hands slide down from your waist to grip your ass. He kisses you deeply, your tongues swiping against each other, battling for dominance, a battle you quickly lost. Kirishima kisses you breathless until you pull away, panting and dizzy. He cups your cheek, making you look up at him “you’re not tapping out on me already are you Angel?” All you can focus on is his smirk and his sharp teeth.

You’re so shocked because this is NOT what you thought Kiri would be like. You’d expected the man to be much more…shy…that you’d be the one to take the lead. So seeing how eager Kirishima was, you were pleasantly surprised that you were able to ease into his touch and let him take care of you.

Kirishima is such an attentive lover, cradling you in his lap, leaving soft kisses on your temple and watching your reactions, even as he has two fingers knuckle deep inside you. Kiri’s made you cum 3 times before he’s even taken his cock out, you’re sprawled out beneath him and panting, while he rests his head on your thigh, lapping at your clit until you start to whine. “Eiji…stop teasing…I-I wan’ you��” your fingers grip onto his red locks drawn back into a loose bun. The large man looks up at you with a sharp smile, his face glistening with the taste of you “Hmm? what’s wrong baby?” he squeezes and rubs your spread thighs “you gotta use your words Angel”. The redhead noses at your neck and you can feel his breath “tell me what you want baby…”. 

When you finally bring yourself to look into his crimson gaze, Kirishima thinks you look so cute, your eyes glazed over and struggling to look him in the eye, you shyly beg to feel him “wanna feel you inside…want your cock…please Eiji…”. The way your bottom lip pushes out in a pout, there’s no way he can say no to you.

Kirishima pulls himself out of his boxers and rubs his length over your wetness, grinding against your clit, groaning and making you squirm “mmm…Eij don’t tease” . He looks down at you with a flushed face and smiles, guiding his length to your entrance before looking up at you “sure you’re okay Angel” he pants. You reach up to cup his cheek and nod softly “I want this Eiji…”. That’s all it takes before he sinks into your pussy, agonizingly slow, making you feel so full, to the point you wonder if he’ll even fit, gasping at the feeling. Kirishima groans at how tightly you squeeze him in, rubbing your thighs and spreading them wider to fit him inside. You rest your head back against the bed, your eyes beginning to water as you feel Eijirou’s cock push deeper into you “mmf…E-Eijirou…m’ so full” you whine so sweetly, making the redhead smile. “S’okay baby…you’re almost there…” you were not almost there… but Kirishima just wants to comfort you.

By the time Kiri gets himself fully inside you, there are tears running down your face as you whimper needily up to the large redhead on top of you “you…you can move” you pant breathlessly, the pain you were feeling giving way to an intense pleasure. Kirishima slowly starts thrusting himself in and out of your walls, the desire to give his Angel absolutely anything she wants consuming him as his red eyes looked more like black to you. Taking a hand to his head and gripping softly onto the red strands, you look your boyfriend in the eye “Eiji- wan’ you to make me feel good…please” you beg desperately for your release. 

Kirishima huffs amusedly at your begging “Is my baby getting greedy? Too greedy for your own orgasm that you forget all about me?” the large man pouts teasingly down at you as he makes his thrusts sharper, each one reaching deeper into you. “Don’t I get to feel good too, Angel?” Kirishima continues to tease, speeding up his pace, loving the sound your pussy makes each time his hips slam down against your own. “I-I-ahhh” you’re cut off by a high pitched squeal when Kirishima shifts your hips, bringing your legs higher up and his tip nudges that special spot inside you repeatedly. “Wan’ you to feel good to Eij…” you slur, it’s getting hard to form words, let alone thoughts with the intense pleasure your boyfriend is giving you.

As your walls clench tightly around him, Kirishima rests your legs on his shoulders, moving his hands up your belly to squeeze your breasts, brushing his thumbs over your nipples as you let out high-pitched moans “Babe…I’m-!” your boyfriend cuts you off, with a thrust that was much deeper and harder. “It’s okay Pretty… let it out” the man coos at you, his breaths starting to come quicker and his groans becoming louder. Like the diligent boyfriend he is, Kirishima thrusts into you without pause, bringing you into your bliss as ecstasy runs through your veins “Ohhh…Eijirouuu!” you cum with a loud cry of his name. The redhead continues his thrusts, panting sharply, but allowing his Angel to ride out her orgasm, only stopping when you twitch in sensitivity. Kirishima slowly pulls his flushed cock out of your heat that grips him tightly in the aftershocks of your climax. Removing his hands from your breasts, your boyfriend gives himself one…two….three pumps before cumming right above your pussy, bracing himself afterward with a firm grip on your hips.

“Fuckk” Kirishima lets out a satisfied curse, trying to gather himself. Your panting form is splayed out before the large hero, messy with his cum on your stomach and Kirishima smiles, a wide toothy grin. A grin that looks way too innocent for the way this man just handled you. Tilting your head up tiredly, you give Kiri a look of pure confusion, not having expected him to be so…thorough…. When it came to sex. Seemingly reading your thoughts, the redhead chuckled softly, a happy sound that was purely Eijirou. 

“Weren’t expecting that from me huh, Angel?” he cages you in, putting his arms on either side of your head, bringing his face close to yours, from this angle, his ‘innocent’ toothy grin looking a lot more sinful than it did hours before. You look up at your boyfriend with heated cheeks “Not really…” you pant. Kirishima tilts his head “wanted to wait until it was right…didn’t want to show you that side of me right away” he leans in, kissing you deeply and swiping his tongue into your mouth. As you moan, he pulls away, chuckling as you chase after his lips “What can I say? I like to take things slow and steady” the redhead smirks before getting off of you to grab you a towel. He returns to give you thorough aftercare.

UtaPri and Neurodivergent Headcanons: Yamato Hyuga

This might become a series at some point, because I think it's really interesting.

That said, I want to start out with a few disclaimers:

I am not an expert in psychology.

No identity category is a monolith. That holds especially true for neurodiverse folks; it is a huge and incredibly varied umbrella.

No UtaPri characters, to my knowledge, have a canonical formal medical diagnosis.

UtaPri is a Japanese franchise, and I am not Japanese. All sorts of intercultural misunderstandings may come into play, here.

It is entirely possible that others will find some or all of UtaPri's representations of neurodivergence and/or mental illness unimpressive, inaccurate, and/or upsetting; these are just my opinions as one fan. I'm truly just here to have a good time, and I'm also fully open to disagreements with my perspective or analysis.

That said, let's move on to Yamato!

Yamato Hyuuga and ADHD (+ possible dyslexia/other learning disabilities)

Yamato shows an impressively wide range of traits common among people with ADHD. In no particular order, there's:

Physical movement as self-regulation: Yamato regularly walks around on his hands, goes out running, and generally finds ways to move his body when given half a chance. He often flips onto his hands in the anime, and mentions fitting in runs whenever he can in Live Emotion.

Special interest in exercise: Yamato regularly tries to share what he knows with his peers, both as a way to bond with them and to help improve their fitness. According to the audio dramas, he goes training with Eiji to help him build his confidence; according to Live Emotion, he keeps up on different brands of protein powder. The first chapters of the "private stories" in Live Emotion involve instructing The Player/Haruka in the finer points of sportsware. In fairness, UtaPri tends to define its boys by their hobbies, but even given that, Yamato jumps more directly into a "teaching" mode than most of the other characters.

Struggles with sudden, intense emotions: Yamato's mood changes rapidly in a way he struggles to control, but he also returns to baseline more quickly than most people would. Anyone who's seen his episodes in the anime will have an idea of what I'm talking about here—his explosions towards Syo, which (deservedly) did little to endear him to the fandom, are the main thing I'm thinking of here. There's already been a reference to this in the early chapters in the main story: Yamato's mood is ruined in a split second by Cecil bringing up his brother, though he manages to hide the depth of the problem and not explode this time. There are a lot of possible alternative explanations for this too, in fairness, such as PTSD; more information about what happened with his brother would help to make things clearer. But emotional volatility is also a trait associated with ADHD in some cases.

Struggles with studying/mental labor: One of the main story chapters in Live Emotion involves Yamato struggling with ideas for lyrics, and the way that he tries to apply himself, rapidly gets frustrated, gives up, leaves, and then gets his idea (by engaging in his special interest!) really stood out to me as a relatable ADHD moment. In the Maji Love Kingdom audio drama, he goes out of his way to attempt to hide these difficulties in this area by insisting on working alone, which shows that this is a struggle he's all too aware of.

This struggle hints at possible comorbid learning disabilities—most likely dyslexia, though there are other potential explanations. A few details in support of this:

Trouble with reading: One of the repeated dialogues in Live Emotion, as well as a detail in at least one of the audio dramas, involves that there are a lot of kanji Yamato has trouble reading. (Bonus fun fact: Japanese dyslexia and English dyslexia are at least partially separate conditions! Some folks have one and not the other, independent of their first language. It's wild, but also given how different the writing systems are, it also makes sense. Yamato is shown sounding out words in English in Live Emotion, which I thought was a great moment, but either way it's unclear whether he experiences different levels of difficulty in Japanese and English.)

Trouble with writing: In the Maji Love Kingdom drama, Yamato is shown struggling with composition (coming up with what to write), and vocabulary (he ends up needing a lot of help from a dictionary and his unit partners to come up with his lyrics. Tokiya and Cecil were such a good team to help him with this!! "Kaleidoscope" was awesome for many reasons).

In addition, the franchise's commitment to the bit regarding Yamato's handwriting is impressive as well. Here's one of his birthday messages, for instance:

I thought at first that it was just because my Japanese wasn't great that I was struggling to read his writing, but I've also seen Japanese fans on social media scratching their heads over parts of his writing in the past. Not only that, his handwriting has been mentioned in canon (mainly HEAVENS Radio, if I'm remembering right?), with Nagi in particular complaining that his writing is often indecipherable.

There is no way to be sure, but to me, this combination of traits reads as an intentional depiction of ADHD and/or learning disabilities by at least some of the writers or character designers, even if it has not been named as such explicitly by the franchise (which, to my knowledge, it hasn't).

However, more than any particular character details, the overall arcs Yamato is involved in, and in particular the thoughtful way in which they're structured, that I find most meaningful. Yamato often says things that are openly brash, antagonistic, and/or unintentionally harsh to the people around him. However, the stories he's in follow through on this beyond the initial interaction: we find out afterwards why he's behaving this way (in the sense of his motivations, his struggles that were not visible at first, and so on). Then we get to see him reflect, either by himself or with the help of his teammates, and understand what went wrong. And finally, he often has a chance to revisit the situation with people he's clashed with, and find a more constructive resolution together with them.

I myself have been diagnosed with ADHD, although in my case, it's mostly inattentive type, and I mask it pretty effectively in my daily life. Still, I have a few of these traits: I can instruct others endlessly on my special interests, I get sudden flashes of temper, and I get easily frustrated by "simple" things in a way that can be difficult for others to understand or empathize with. These traits are ones I often feel guilt and shame about.

Yamato's strong personality is often on display for all to see, and it would be easy to turn him into a caricature or even just a villain. But instead, we get insights into his perspective, see him grow and overcome difficulties, and are shown time and again that he cares about the people around him and wants to learn to work with them better. Yamato makes me feel more confident in myself: however different I am from the people around me, and whatever mistakes I make, if I can stay brave and open-hearted, I can keep learning to be better than I was before.

Fic idea

Warnings: none

A world where bnha characters have their quirks but it's a secret, they all manage a double-life.

Bakugo gets it hard from social media for being destructive and he's livid, especially when you agree about that last accident when he caught a thief. It was just a damn window in a single shop that he blew! The shop owner even thanked him, telling that repairing the glass will cost way less than what the criminal was about to steal. Well, the media never heard about it and came to their own shitty conclusions calling him a careless brute. If you would only hear that grampa, shaking Bakugo's hand violently at the back of the scene.

But no, they were all about flooding the main pages of every site with videos and pictures of Red Riot, the defender, hard as steel, charming smile, sexy himbo. You even told him once, joking, during your lunch break in college that you'd fuck Red Riot stupid. This had Bakugo's blood boiling even though he knew Eiji didn't do anything bad.

After uni, while the blonde was patrolling the area he saw you walking through a park, alone, in the evening. He felt an ache in his chest when he thought you might be thinking about Red Riot (which you didn't, you have more important things to do like the last assignment you didn't finish...) and he just thought fuck it he'll try to play with what best he has.

Dropping down next to you he caught your attention.

"Dynamite?" You choked a bit on your words, unsure how to act.

Without a second thought the man stepped forward, pulled you by the collar of your shirt and kissed you fiercly. It was short and steamy, he sure used his tongue. Then he left without a word of explanation and only now did you believe that it was the real Dynamite, when you saw him fly into the air on the small explosions. You were lost in your thoughts all the way back, your new apartment and the whole moving thing long forgotten.

Later that evening Bakugo bursted through Mina's open window to crash her cramped college place and yell about how fucked up the public opinion is and how he should rip out Eiji's hair so that he looks worse, when he dropped the mask he just slid off his face onto the floor.

Why is someone else in Mina's apartment and why is it you?

"Bakugo?" He heard your questioning tone once again that night. Your eyes quickly scanning his frame and costume. Your eyes darted behind him where he just flew through the findow with small explosions following close.

He didn't know whether it would be harder to explain that he, the guy you study and eat lunch with is Dynamite or why he kissed you out of the blue in the middle of the night.

The day of a certain professor's birthday was coming to an end as there were only approximately four hours left. The man in question, Maki Umemoto, sighed as he returned to his apartment. Despite it being a Friday, he was forced to stay late at work due to getting ready for class on Monday. The semester technically hadn't started yet, but he was stuck in meetings almost all day with other teachers and the school president. He had only just gotten back home.

Walking up to his apartment door, he stopped as he spotted several items sitting by the entrance. Blinking, he kneeled down and picked each item up, carefully balancing them from big to small. Unlocking his apartment door, he quickly opened it, walked inside and closed it again before setting the items on a nearby counter. Looking at them, he opened the first gift and looked at was inside.

https://500px.com/photo/1107422117/a-stationary-set-for-maki-from-masa-by-maro-kaso

It was a stationary set, along with some sushi rolls that, surprisingly, hadn't gone bad. Surprised, the professor popped one in his mouth, and nodded, satisfied at the taste. Looking, he saw a letter attached to it, which read:

Dear Maki-sensei,

On this special occasion marking your birth, I wish you a year filled with joy and tranquility. Your dedication to learning and your unwavering spirit in challenging norms are traits I truly admire. Our conversations have been enlightening, and I cherish the richness of your perspectives. Your bravery in questioning and pursuing the truth reflects your integrity and strong character.

As a small gesture of my gratitude, I've included a custom stationery set. I hope it proves useful in your academic efforts and brings you serenity as you record your thoughts and ideas. May the light of wisdom continually illuminate your journey. I eagerly anticipate our future discussions and the growth they foster.

With faith and fellowship,

Father Masa Judice

"Huh," Maki said, "Well, I'm glad to see my Masa-san hasn't ruined our acquaintanceship."

Moving onto the next gift, it was a lot smaller than the stationary set. Opening the wrapper, Maki's eyes grew big at what was inside.

https://500px.com/photo/1107423055/openart-image_sputf8xs_1737170163041_raw-by-maro-kaso

"A... a tablet." Maki said, looking at it. It even had his name written on it, albeit in Katakana. Looking at the back, he noticed a letter, also addressed to him. It read:

Dear Maki-san,

On this special day marking your birthday, I wish to express my heartfelt gratitude for your remarkable intellect and unwavering commitment to learning. You truly represent the essence of progress and the ceaseless quest for wisdom. To honor your significant contributions and to aid your academic pursuits, I am excited to present you with a customized tablet accompanied by a stylus.

This gadget stands as a testament to the blend of tradition and modernity—an aspect I know you hold in high regard. We find ourselves in a time where technology propels us forward. I encourage you to utilize this device to continue to expand your horizons and challenge existing norms. May the year ahead be filled with personal growth, exciting discoveries, and transformative experiences. Embrace the journey that awaits.

Warm regards,

Eiji Noguchi

Smiling at the letter from his friend, Maki made a note to tell Eiji just how his kids were doing later on. Turning to the last gift, Maki looked as it was just a simple letter, which read:

Dear Maki-san,

I can't help but think about the extraordinary individual you are. Your intelligence, kindness, and steadfast commitment to your work are traits I genuinely respect. You embody a unique blend of brilliance and warmth that sets you apart in a remarkable way. You motivate me in ways I never imagined possible. Your thirst for knowledge and your dedication to your students serve as a powerful reminder of the limitless potential we all hold.

It is truly a privilege to witness your journey and to learn from the way you lead. As you embrace this special day, I hope the coming year brings you abundant growth, happiness, and fulfillment. May you continue to radiate positivity in all your pursuits and find joy in the small, beautiful moments life offers.

Happy Birthday, Maki-san. You are valued beyond what words can convey.

Warm regards,

Your Secret Admirer

“Work never ends, it seems…” Maki utters when he sees the pile of gifts at his front door.

After a long day at his job, Maki found himself having to haul in even more gifts into his apartment. At this point, Maki could live entirely off all the gifts he had received from everyone for at least a week. The thought makes him chuckle, imagining his younger half-brother doing the same whenever his birthday rolls around.

The first stationery set was an expected sight. Given his occupation, many gifts were effectively free re-supplies for his office. Pens, sticky notes, and other little stationery all needed for the papers Maki would inevitably have to mark up by the end of the spring term. The sushi, however, was a surprise. Maki could have almost mistaken the wrapped rice as more stationary if it weren’t the unmistakable smell of seafood. The letter threw Maki for a bit of surprise however, not expecting to see the Ginza’s priest signed at the bottom. After reading such heartfelt and frankly, flustering words complimenting the history professor, Maki felt like he had experienced whiplash knowing that someone he had quarreled pretty consistently with thought so highly of him. 

“Huh… Well, I’m glad to see my debates with him haven’t soured our relationship.” The history professor hums, before adding in, “Maybe I should accept his invitation and give my thanks sometime.”

The next gift, being a tablet, surprised Maki yet again. Such an expensive gift is rather unexpected, although once Maki read over the letter and got to the second half of the text that practically screamed a certain tech executive’s launch speeches he instantly recognized Eiji’s work. Maki wanted to fuss about receiving such a gift, but he resigned to accept it and show his gratitude with an update on his kids’ educational progress. It was hard to argue with someone so genuinely kind.

One last letter laid among the pile of other miscellaneous packages and post cards all scattered all over Maki’s dining area. The envelope looked a little familiar… And reading the letter proved that his gut was right. His secret admirer seemed to know his birthday and wrote a letter to congratulate him. Much to the disdain of Maki, who was now red-faced and light headed from how fast his heart was racing.

It took some time, but once Maki felt he had regained his composure, he started to really think. Who could his admirer be? It was hard to imagine the AV actress Rinko saying the words written in either letter Maki had gotten from this admirer. And… Honestly, it was hard for Maki to think about anyone in his day to day life liking him in such a way. He never bothered to really put effort into caring about what his colleagues thought of him. He definitely shut down any of his students' feelings as soon as they uttered a hint of inappropriate admiration. And he’s done his best to stay distant around parents and guardians of the students he would tutor on the side for, as to avoid the problems that would inevitably come from it. So really, who could it be?

Still, Maki’s eyes kept reading the last sentence over and over again. It was embarrassing how much those words meant to him. He hasn’t heard anyone in his life give that sort of reassurance to him, at least in words. It was a little sad how much Maki wished to hear this person say this to him in person…

“What do I do…” Maki mutters, taking a cautious glance at his phone, before deciding against reaching out to anyone about it. He should try and think on it first… Perhaps a quick shower and some sleep will help Maki figure out this puzzle.

GRAAAAAHHHHHH THEY'RE BACK. MAKI GOGOGOGOGO FIGURE IT OUT AHHHHHHHbut also thank you for the gift lol

Walking through the picturesque streets of Cardinal Hill, you find Persephone 'Percy’ Ejiri-McIntyre, the 30 year old private detective paranormal investigator originally from Portland, ME. Living alongside them in such a small town, you know that they're curious and anxious, but what you might not know is that they are a human, and that they’re hiding something… ― Karen Fukuhara, demisexual, woman, and she/her.

Name: Persephone "Percy" Eiji-McIntyre

Nickname: Percy

Place of Birth: Tokyo, Japan

Longterm Residence: Portland, ME

Occupation: Private Investigator (at AIS) & Paranormal Investigator (at GASP)

Mental Health Challenges: Severe social anxiety, selective mutism

Wanted Connections: Her two best friends that run the businesses with her.

Hobbies: Exploring abandoned/historical sites, reading mystery novels and folklore books, journaling and sketching paranormal observations, researching myths, legends, and the occult at the library, meditating, photography, video games

Likes: rainy days, which calm her nerves; old, creaky libraries, scented candles (particularly lavender and sandalwood), tea, (herbal blends)

Dislikes: Loud, crowded spaces that overwhelm her senses; people who dismiss her work as “nonsense."; overly flashy displays of wealth; being pressured to talk when she’s not ready; losing control of her surroundings.

Character Inspirations: Beth Harmon from The Queen’s Gambit, Satsuki Kiryuuin from Kill la Kill, Misaki Mei from Another, Elise Rainier from Insidious, Vivi Delaney from The Rules of Magic

She was born in Tokyo, Japan. Though she'll never know the reason why - when she was three years old, she was left at an orphanage. She was told by the caretakers on the date of her adoption into the McIntyre family that she was lucky -- a family wanted her. She became the older sister first to Copper, who had been adopted as an infant, and later to Aristotle, who was fostered by the family when he was 12 and adopted when he was 17.

There were moments when she felt like she didn’t fit into the boys' dynamic and though she loved them, the differences between her experience as a woman and theirs as men was something she couldn't ... bridge. Her fathers could read books and talk to neighbors and try to find her a mentor ... but it wasn't the same.

(She wasn't a person who wanted to be surrounded by stuff. Even as an adult, she prefers to borrow books instead of buy them. She is simple in her decorating style and functional. She treats the things she owns with care and refuses to buy new when used will do.)

In school, despite the protection her brothers offered as they were all close in age, Percy struggled. School was a battleground. Her selective mutism and anxiety kept her from making friends and left her isolated in a world that moved too quickly and loudly for her. It didn't help that English was her second language.

So, she found solace in quiet spaces, in the abandoned corners of old buildings, and in the remnants of forgotten things. It was in these places, far from the chaos of her mind, that Percy’s fascination with the mysteries and the paranormal was born. She began to read mystery novels and anything about strange happenings and occurrences.

At first, it was a way to escape her problems; but over time, it became something she couldn’t shake, an itch she couldn’t scratch. She loved solving problems. She loved investigating. She also wanted to know more about ghosts, spirits, the supernatural... she couldn’t dismiss them.

By her early twenties, Percy channeled her natural curiosity into Ace Investigations, a private detective agency that also delved into paranormal investigations as a hobby.

While the agency was her brainchild, she was not alone in it.

Percy ran (and still runs) the business alongside her two closest friends, each bringing their passion and drive for their work.

She was in control, solving cases, confronting the things that others feared, and chasing down answers that had long been hidden. The dynamic between her and her friends was vital to her, a support system that helped ground her even when her anxiety threatened to take over.

But as her career grew, so did the strange occurrences that followed her. Whispers that only she could hear, objects that moved when no one was looking, shadows that shifted in the corner of her eye... Percy chalked these up to the supernatural forces she investigated. Spirits, hauntings, and restless souls were part of the job, after all. But as the cases piled up, she began to notice a pattern, these incidents weren’t just happening around her cases. They were happening to her, and she couldn’t shake the feeling that she was being drawn into something larger.

Now, at 30, Percy moved to Cardinal Hill for two reasons -- the first, her brothers were there, and she felt drawn to connect with them, as though she had to be there for them, though she couldn't explain why -- and second, there were (and are) strange things happening in the town, and she wants to know why.

So, she runs Ace Investigations with determination and a desire to uncover the truth. She thrives in the mysteries she solves, and with each new case, she feels herself drawn closer to something unknown, something she can’t quite understand. The whispers, the shadows—they’re no longer just parts of her work. They’re part of her life.

S.U.I.T.S - Terran's Hidden War

TERRAN 7 - MAIN HEADQUARTERS

The weekend quickly arrived, and Asuka and I decided to keep our new relationship a secret from our friends. Only Viktor, Miyoung, and Isabel were aware of our dating status, as they observed us from a distance. It was Saturday, February 11th, 2079 - the day of Hina's flute performance in the city.

I met Kumiko outside our house before we headed to the intersection where Asuka was waiting for us. The previous day, Asuka had expressed her interest in joining us to watch Hina perform, and Kumiko happily agreed. We tried our best not to make it obvious when we were together, but it proved to be challenging for both of us.

Asuka enveloped her arm around Kumiko and briskly moved ahead, abandoning me in solitude. Asuka's panic was evident from her facial expression. I trailed behind them from a distance while Asuka made a conscious effort to avoid eye contact with me as we made our way to the city.

To our surprise, we encountered Hideki, Sho, Saki, Ren, and Nanako outside the venue. They clarified that they preferred watching Hina perform instead of burying themselves in books. It wasn’t just them but Aikawa unexpected joined us despite not being invited by me or Asuka.

As the attendants provided our seating arrangements, we entered the venue. Asuka and the others were seated together on the first floor, while Aikawa and I were seated on the second floor, overlooking the auditorium. I made an effort not to let his presence bother me. From our vantage point on the second floor, I spotted my group of friends sitting in their assigned seats at the center. Asuka seemed confused as she looked around before finally glancing up above her. It took her a little time to notice us in our designated seats, but once our eyes met for a brief second, she quickly looked away with a slight smile that she tried to conceal with her hands. My reaction wasn't too subtle as I found myself grinning noticeably - perhaps more noticeable than intended for Aikawa's observation. Breaking the silence, Aikawa spoke up and said, "Congratulations, man."

I stuttered in response,"What do you mean?"

"Don't play coy," Aikawa continued confidently. "Both of you are terrible at hiding it. It's so obvious in how you glance at each other and subtly flirt with your eyes just now and outside the venue. Even a five-year-old would know that you're a couple."

I gave in and admitted,"Fine, I confessed."

"That's my boy," Aikawa said as he slapped my shoulder and chuckled."And who was it that brought you two together? Oh right - it was me." He said this proudly.

"Fine," I sighed as I accepted defeat."Thanks to you, I am now with Asuka. If it weren't for you, I might have actually dated Kumiko instead of Asuka." I looked at him sincerely."You're not a bad person Eiji."

"A bit too much praise," Aikawa shrugged nonchalantly."But go on - give me more."

"Don't push it,"I replied irritably.

The performance is consistently outstanding, captivating each and every member of the audience. Hina successfully sold out all the seats for both the afternoon and evening shows on the weekend, leaving people eagerly longing for more days to be added because of the overwhelming demand. I want to believe that her mother's influence as a former renowned flutist played a role, but it is Hina's dedication and hard work that propelled her into gaining more recognition in the classical music scene.

"Selling out four performances in just two days is absolutely amazing, Hina!" Saki exclaimed with pride. "That's my girl!" Saki hugged her tightly.

"What are you talking about?" Hina responded, feeling a bit embarrassed. "It's just a small venue, I still have a long way to go."

"Come on, Hina," Saki insisted. "The venue can accommodate a maximum of 500 audience members! And with the evening shows and tomorrow's performances as well, that means 2000 people will be listening to you perform. Why are you being so modest?”

We encountered Hina backstage after the performance had ended. Hideki was undeniably proud of his younger sister's success. I believe we all take pride in witnessing her hard work and dedication today.

Suddenly, Asuka reached out and grabbed my sleeve, pulling me closer to show me something on her phone. We were engrossed in a serious conversation, unaware that our friends were observing us closely. Abruptly, she released my sleeve and discreetly took a step to the side, causing her face to immediately flush red.

Sho teased, "What is this? Have our eyes deceived us?” He took a step forward and annoyingly looked at me and Asuka.

"The secret's out," Aikawa sighed in defeat.

They stood in anticipation, patiently awaiting our response. Although the answer was obvious, they wanted to hear it from us. Finally succumbing to the pressure, Asuka made an announcement amidst her stuttering and her face turning even redder. "Yes, we are officially dating," she revealed. As soon as those words left her lips, our friends erupted into joyful cheers. Hina rushed over to support Asuka while Saki assisted in opening a new water bottle to help calm her down.

Sho playfully slapped my back forcefully. "Took you guys long enough," he teased. "When did this happen?"

"It happened two days ago," I replied, scratching my cheek. I subtly glanced at Kumiko, who was standing beside Asuka with a forced smile on her face. Her eyes betrayed her true emotions, filled with sadness. I looked away when Kumiko suddenly turned her gaze towards me.

"My man!" Sho slapped my back again, wearing a wide grin on his face. "We should go celebrate this joyous moment and Hina's sold-out performances!" Sho announced as he walked away with Kumiko, Nanako, and the others.

"We'll join you next time," Asuka declared. "Aikawa, can you stay for a few minutes?"

"Well, enjoy your precious time together!" Sho teased as he walked away with the others.

As they walked away from the backstage room, we stepped out of the venue through the back exit area. Asuka asked. “Aikawa, did you receive this message? What about the others?”

“Same time as you,” Aikawa answered. 

“The others have as well,” I said, reading my text.”

“Seems like we’ve been invited to the main headquarters.” Asuka read her mail. “Today is not the day that SUITS Representative and the Global Presidents meet and discuss, is it?” She continued. “Either way, Aikawa, send a message to Kumiko and the others. We’ll head to the meeting as soon as possible.”

We descended into the atrium, and I immediately noticed that the SUITS members below us were busier than usual. Waiting for us at the elevator were Daisuke and Kokoro. They led us to the center of the room where customer service was located. The lady there handed us guest passes. It took a while for me to realize that the panel beneath us was descending to the main headquarters located in Earth's mantle.

Daisuke began by apologizing for the unexpected invitation, explaining that it was Shiro's last-minute decision for us to attend the meeting and get a glimpse of what's happening. He elaborated further by stating that due to Deck of Clubs' sudden activities in recent weeks, Earth’s Leaders are in a frenzy to have this secret meeting with SUITS Representative.

Intrigued, I asked, “What is the purpose of this meeting?”

Daisuke respond. "The purpose is to discuss the potential invasion of our planet by an extremely advanced extraterrestrial species, surpassing any nation on Earth, which could bring about destruction."

"I would like to point out that these meetings seem pointless as they are one-sided," Kokoro spoke up. "However, after witnessing what occurred in Venezuela a few days ago, it seems that leaders have become frightened by the possibility that such an event could also happen to them.”

As we continued our descent, our elevator eventually came to a stop. "Stick together," Daisuke cautioned. Stepping out of the elevator, I couldn't help but be amazed once again by the immense size of the main headquarters built within Earth's mantle. While lacking a grand and bright atrium like the facility above ground, the main headquarters' atrium exudes a sleeker, cramped, and darker ambiance that truly reflects what SUITS represents and how much more bustling it is.

What caught me off guard and amazed me as I followed closely behind others were the hundreds, possibly thousands, of diverse extraterrestrial species mingling in this atrium. Asuka reached for my hand and held it tightly as we moved forward.

"That was my reaction when I first saw them too," Asuka explained. "Life exists beyond our Solar System and even beyond the Milky Way Galaxy; they coexist with us on our planet.”

We left the atrium and proceeded down the hallway, where we encountered a checkpoint manned by the security personnel of the headquarters. We presented our guest passes to the guards, who then engaged us in conversation. "I am Rindra Velo," one of them introduced themselves, "and alongside me is Mawuli Issah, my fellow acting guard for today. We will be guiding you to the assembly room." With that said, Rindra and Mawuli pivoted and led the way as we trailed behind them. I have conducted research on Rindra and Mawuli, and I have gathered some interesting information. 

Rindra Velo lived during the Roman Empire in 42 BC, specifically fifteen years before Julius Caesar became the Roman Emperor. Her family was quite wealthy, as her father held a high position in the Roman Senate and was a close friend of Caesar even before he ascended to the throne.Caesar found Rindra intriguing due to her feisty personality at such a young age, and after becoming Emperor, he invited her to join his side as an important commander. Rindra was one of the few rare females who became a member of the Roman Council. She accompanied Caesar to Ancient Egypt where they encountered Queen Cleopatra and engaged in warfare against the Egyptian Empire. During their meeting with Cleopatra, Rindra gradually developed strong feelings for the queen. Sadly, her life came to a tragic end during their clandestine rendezvous in Cleopatra's chambers.

Mawuli Issah was born over 3,000 years ago, within the Maasai tribe in southern Kenya. Unfortunately, there is limited information available about his life apart from his residency in present-day Kenya and subsequent migration to modern-day Ghana. He passed away peacefully of old age before SUITS brought him back to life. The extensive black content in his dossier indicates that these details are strictly confidential and not meant for public scrutiny.

We entered the assembly area filled to capacity with other SUITS members eagerly awaiting the start of the meeting. The seating arrangement was designed around a transparent window, showcasing the surrounding environment. We managed to find an empty seat next to Kumiko and joined her and the others.

As I entered the room, what caught my attention right away was the prominent security presence, both in front of the transparent windows and inside the well-lit spacious floor below. The four primary chairs were taken by representatives from four distinct species, all donned in formal uniforms. Opposite these seats were thirteen other chairs occupied by leaders from six superpower nations - namely, the North American Union, South American Union, European Union, Asian Federation, and Middle East League. Additionally, seated were seven Continental Representatives representing North America, South America, Middle East, Asia, Europe, Australia, and Antarctica. The leader of South Africa didn’t attend the meeting.

Kokoro explained, "Allow me to introduce you to our Four Representatives: Vrann, who hails from Bisonet - a water planet - and has a humanoid-like bee appearance; next to Vrann is an It’ul species representative from Korouth - an inhospitable planet known for its harsh conditions; alongside them is Zipraria, the Zalten Representative from Moon Zipraria which orbits a desert planet. The Zaltens are best described as having a patriarchal society ruled by humanoid dogs on their moon. Last but not least is our other ally, the Dresols, who come from Xeanides. Unfortunately, I don't possess much knowledge about their history or their home planet as it exceeds my pay grade.”

The meeting began.

"Welcome, representatives and leaders from around the world," the Vrann leader addressed. "You have sent us an invitation for an emergency meeting due to the recent event in Japan and Venezuela." The Vrann leader continued, "You all seem quite tense. Why don't you try to calm down?"

"How can we possibly remain calm when one of your enemies planned to manipulate the presidential election?" shouted the South American representative angrily. "You explicitly promised to keep humanity safe from your war! Yet, what happened in Venezuela shows that you have failed to uphold your commitment."

The Zatlen representative chimed in, saying, "We followed your instructions and used our resources to protect leaders, both good and bad, across the world. However, our enemies infiltrated your country and exploited a weakness undetected by SUITS radar."

The Dresols representative carried on with their point. "Your countries lack unity when it comes to a common goal. Instead of working together, you bicker over resources, religion, and reclaiming territories from the past. While you waste time hating on each other over trivial matters, our enemies have learned to coexist with humans. How do we know that even the Middle East League Prime Minister hasn't been influenced by our adversaries? Or what about the Antarctica Representative who could turn against any of us at this very moment? Our enemies have assimilated into human society long before any of you leaders were even born! Major events from the past are not detectable by SUITS monitoring."

The It'ul representative added their warnings as well: "We have given countless warnings through previous leaders and representatives alike - warning after warning - but you simply brushed off this growing threat like an annoying bug while squabbling amongst yourselves over trivial matters. You demand more protection? Very well then; it shall be granted. But do not forget my repeated warning: your closest aides, best friends, or even family members may be enemies not of this planet. Your country and planet will only realize this truth when it's too late, and we will witness the swift takeover of Earth."

"Furthermore," the Vrann leader concluded with a final note, "if you wish to be acknowledged among the stars alongside other technologically advanced species, that privilege will continue to be denied until your countries unite under a common goal.”

The meeting concluded, and we departed from the main headquarters, making our way back to the Asia facility. The atmosphere during the meeting was heavy and filled with dread. I never expected to receive such an abundance of information from the alien representatives.

Curiosity got the better of me, so I asked, "What did they mean exactly?"

Daisuke answered, "It's beyond our scope of understanding. However, what I can tell you is that Earth possesses vast untapped reserves of rare inorganic resources and valuable organic resources hidden deep within. With our current technological capabilities, it would take several thousand years for even the most advanced nations to access them."

Intrigued by this mention of organic resources, I inquired further. "When you say 'organic resources,' what do you mean?"

Kokoro explained, "Thanks to advancements in climate change management, food production techniques, water expansion methods, and overall improvements in quality of life facilitated by private sectors like SUITS working covertly with countries worldwide - Earth's population has surpassed 15 billion people. Without SUITS' technology advancements keeping things under control behind closed doors, by 2060 humans would face extinction and Earth would become vulnerable for extraterrestrial species to exploit for their own gain.”

"Daisuke explained that unlike the species walking past us, humans have soft tissues whereas they possess rougher, thicker skin or body modifications," he noted. "Even though we may have immortality or augmentations," he gestured towards me and the others, "those residing in our Milky Way Galaxy can effortlessly rip us apart. Remember, Kobayashi, humans are the dominant species on Earth but out there, we occupy the lowest position in the food chain.”

“Well, that’s good to know.” I nervously spoke.

Kumiko, Asuka, and I decided to part ways with our friends. As we made our way home, darkness enveloped the surroundings. While walking together, I listened closely to Kumiko and Asuka discussing Hina's performance and eagerly anticipated watching Saki's band perform in a couple of days. Rumor has it that their concert tickets have already sold out despite the small venue. Saki's band is gaining popularity among a specific music community. 

As we reached the intersection in our neighborhood, Asuka leaned in and planted a gentle kiss on my cheek. Afterward, she began walking backward along the left side of the road, waving solemnly until she disappeared from sight. With a smile on my face, I turned around only to find Kumiko staring at me. She observed me silently for a moment before turning away and proceeding up the right side of the road. I followed a few steps behind her, keeping an eye on her from afar. The sound of our footsteps echoed as we continued our ascent up the hill in our neighborhood. The silence persisted until we reached our houses; however, Kumiko didn't stop there—she kept walking.

"Kumiko?" I inquired.

"I'm aware," she replied. Kumiko turned her head to glance at me as we kept walking. "Would you like to come up there with me?" She turned back around and resumed walking uphill. I agreed, maintaining a slight distance between us. "Why are you being cautious around me, Issei?" she questioned. "Come closer." So, I quickened my pace until I was beside her. We continued our ascent in silence until she unexpectedly linked her arm with mine. "Just for tonight?" she whispered. I agreed to her proposition. 

In silence, we continued until we reached the peak of the hill, where we could admire the city illuminated by the night. Kumiko released her arm from around me and joyfully trotted away. Standing there, she extended her arm while fixing her gaze upon the city's skyline and let out a sigh of relief. I observed her from a distant.

“Aren’t you going to say anything?” Kumiko asked, leaning on the railing.

“What is there to say?’ I chuckled, joining her next to the railing. I leaned on the railing looking away from the city.

"Like…" Kumiko paused, contemplating her words. "When did you find out that Issei and Asuka started dating?" I looked at her, eagerly awaiting her response. She replied, "Three days ago, when I spotted both of you in this exact same spot while I was out for a run." She gave me a defensive smile and admitted, "That's when I realized that having you by my side wasn't possible." Kumiko paused briefly before restating her sentence. "Well, since the first time we met in the neighborhood, I knew my chances of being with you were slim because of your connection with Asuka." She chuckled softly. "You two were so infatuated with each other; it was painfully obvious to anyone observing from the outside. You really are oblivious to each other's feelings." Kumiko paused again as our eyes locked slowly. Though she tried her best to conceal it, there was sadness evident in her gaze. "I foolishly believed that I could win Issei over when Asuka transferred schools away from us. I thought there might be an opportunity for your attention to turn towards me instead of Asuka's direction. It never occurred to me how close she actually lived next door to you.” 

Kumiko paused once again, her gaze fixed on the city lights as she looked away from me. "So, don't worry about me. I did my best to make sure you could reach me."

"Who's worried?" I replied, with a slight stutter.

"You're lying to yourself again." She giggled softly. "You're terrible at hiding your emotions, Issei." Kumiko took a few steps back from the railing and stretched her arm once more. "I can see why this spot is everyone's favorite spot." She focused her eyes on me and paused. Slowly, Kumiko gave me a delightful smile and issued a warning. "Make Asuka happy or I'll kill you if you make her cry."

I laughed and teased back. "If I make her cry, she'll kill me first and then you'll join in the beating after that."

"That's right," Kumiko joined in the laughter. "Anyway, I’ll see you later. I’m exhausted.” With that said, she walked away

Must Love Introverts

“Dude!” Denki’s elbow lands hard against Eijirou’s side. “Just go tell her that you like her.”

“Shhh!” Eijirou looks frantically around the large cafeteria, hoping that no one can hear his friend’s loud mouth. “Keep your voice down.”

Hanta shuts his book and leans back, pinning Eijirou under a pointed gaze. “Denki’s right, dude. You have been crushing on that girl since day one. Just buck up and tell her.”

Eijirou chances a glance at the group of students two tables to his left. Ochako and Tsuyu are kneeling on their seats, leaning over the table. Their faces are huddled together with Mina who is laughing at whatever Tsuyu had just said. When she catches Eijirou’s gaze she smiles sweetly and waves at him.

He can feel his cheeks growing warm and red as he returns the wave and then quickly looks away. He can’t help but think about how she’d helped him study last week. She’d been so patient with him, explaining things to him as many times as he’d needed and not letting up until she was sure he understood. He remembers how their shoulders had brushed together as they’d lain on the floor next to each other and poured over the textbook.

“I can’t, dude. What if she–”

Katsuki slams his book shut, and grabs Eijirou’s collar. He hauls the taller boy to his feet and practically shoves him towards Mina’s table. “Just man up and fuckin’ tell her.”

Eijirou stumbles a few feet before catching his balance. When he looks back at his table Denki is pinning him under a double thumbs up and Hanta is smiling at him. Katsuki looks bothered, his arms angrily crossed over his chest and oddly enough, it’s that sight that gives Eijirou courage to continue forward.

Katsuki was nothing if not practical and Eijirou tells himself that the hot-tempered blond wouldn’t encourage him if he didn’t think that Eijirou stood a chance. Yeah, Katsuki would’ve shut me down if he thought it was a lost cause. He uses the swell of courage to propel himself forward until he’s only a few rows from Mina’s table. He bumps into Hitoshi’s seat, earning him a scowl from the tired-looking student and their class president.

He mumbles out a small apology, bowing low before continuing forward. It feels like everyone is watching him and Eijirou has to remind himself that no one is looking, except Katsuki, Hanta, and Denki… and now Hitoshi and Tenya too. He swallows hard and closes the last few feet. He stumbles again, this time bumping into Ochako’s seat and suddenly Mina’s entire table is watching him.

“HI–” Eijirou’s voice comes out as a loud, awkward squawk. The back of his neck grows warm as he clears his throat and tries again. “Hi, Mina. I’m Eijirou.”

She giggles softly, pinning him under a bright yellow gaze. “I know who you are, Eiji.”

The warmth on his neck grows hotter as the color creeps up his cheeks. Stupid. He doesn’t even know why he’d said that. It had just sort of slipped out. He knows that she was being kind, that she hadn’t meant it to sound the way it did, but he can hear people behind him snickering and it makes him feel rooted to the spot and unable to speak. “I…”

“Did you lose all your brain cells the last time you got tackled?” Neito’s voice is loud, the laughter that erupts around them is louder.

Before Eijirou even knows that he’s moving, he’s halfway across the cafeteria and then running down an empty hall. He ducks into an empty classroom and once he’s sure he’s alone, he presses his back to the wall and slumps down to the floor. The sound of laughter is still echoing in his ears as he buries his face in his arms and tries to hide from the world.

Maybe Neito was right. Mina is really pretty– out of my league, really. What made him think that she’d want some stupid jock like him? I know who you are, Eiji. He tells himself that she hadn’t meant it to come out like that, making the rest of her table laugh at him like they did. But what if she had? What if that was her subtle way of telling him to go away and he just hadn’t listened?

He can hear footsteps outside in the hallway and he holds his breath as if it will help hide from whoever is out there. He guesses that maybe Denki or Hanta had come looking for him, but right now he doesn’t want to face either of them. Eventually the footsteps retreat and Eijirou lets himself wallow in self-pity until the bell rings.

Eijirou waits as long as he can, until the hallways are mostly clear before darting to his locker to grab his books and then back to his classroom. He slips in just after the bell, earning him a scathing, disappointed look from Mr. Aizawa. Mina turns around once, but Eijirou just buries his face in his text book and pretends that he hadn’t seen her.

He purposefully leaves between classes and meanders in the hallway just to avoid having to face Mina or his friends. He watches the clock during class, paying little attention to his teachers as he counts down the seconds. There’s only one more period left; one more time he has to hide in the hallway.

The bell rings and Eijirou is out the door even before his teacher. He’s pacing not far from the door when Mina’s head suddenly pokes out of the classroom. “Eiji?”

He can feel his heart racing as he looks around frantically for an escape. Eijirou walks down the hall as fast as he can and ducks into the restroom just before Mina catches up to him. He’s hovering just inside the door with his back pressed against the cold tile wall. He can hear her talking to someone outside, but he can’t quite make out her words or who she’s talking to.

“Hi, Eijirou.”

The voice startles him, but Eijirou finds himself relieved to be staring into Shouto’s heterochromatic eyes.

“H– hey, Todoroki.” With no place left to run, Eijirou sighs and rests his head back against the wall. “Did Mina send you in?”

Shouto’s brow pinches together in confusion as he glances out the doorway before looking back at Eijirou. “No. Why would she send me to the bathroom?”

“No reason.” Eijirou wonders if he was wrong. Maybe it wasn’t Shouto she’d been talking to out in the hallway. “Sorry.”

Shouto walks past him into one of the stalls and Eijirou lets himself get lost in his own thoughts. He could skip his last class. Sure, his coach would be angry, probably make him sit out practice tomorrow, but maybe it would be worth it to just not have to face anyone. He’s still contemplating how angry his moms would be if they got called about him skipping class when Shouto comes out and begins washing his hands.

“Are you hiding?”

“N– no!” Eijirou splutters. He can feel his face flush at the simple question. “I’m not hiding. I just…”

“You’re hiding.” Shouto grabs some paper towels and dries his hands off, his gaze still directed pointedly at the redhead who wants to be anywhere but here right now.

Eijirou lets out a tired sigh, head falling back against the wall with a loud thunk. “Yeah, Todoroki. Okay? I’m hiding. I made an absolute fool of myself trying to ask Mina out and right now I really just want to avoid everyone. So can you leave me alone, please?”

He swears he can feel that heterochromatic gaze watching him, but when he opens his eyes, Shouto is staring down at the crumpled-up paper in his hands. “I don’t think it was as bad as you think it was. You should try asking her out again… maybe somewhere a bit quieter. I do awkward things all the time and no one looks at me any different.”

Shouto tosses the paper in the trashcan and leaves, giving Eijirou a small pat on the shoulder before he goes. Eijirou wants to believe what Shouto had said, that maybe he was making a bigger deal of it in his head. By the time he’s back out into the hallway he’s almost convinced himself that he can face Mina again and ask her out for real this time.

He’s staring at his shoes, still thinking about what had happened earlier in the cafeteria and not paying attention to where he’s going when he bumps into someone. That someone is a small, angry blond who glares up at him as he gets to his feet.

It just had to be him… Eijirou swallows the frustrated groan that’s trying to work its way up his throat as he kneels down to help pick up the scattered books. When he offers one to Neito, the blond snatches it out of his hands as if he were scum stuck to the bottom of the blond’s shoe.

“Dumb and uncoordinated,” Neito scoffs. “I guess the football team is completely hopeless now too.”

You’re really mean, Neito. Eijirou doesn’t say it – no matter how much he wants to. Instead, he pushes past the blond and leaves out the side entrance. He tells himself that he doesn’t care about his last class, or the books left on his desk, or what his coach will say. He doesn’t even know where he’s going until he finds himself sitting in the shade under the bleachers.

He puts his earbuds in and plugs them into his phone. His fingers swipe automatically to her playlist. He’d never tell her, of course. How silly is it that he has a playlist made for a girl he can’t even work up the courage to ask out? Not manly at all, dude.

Eijirou sits with his back against one of the cold steel beams and closes his eyes. He lets himself get lost in the soft, upbeat music and finally, after a few songs, he starts to feel centered again. He thinks that maybe he had been in his head too much. Mina was too nice of a person to purposefully make fun of him. After all, she’d never teased him when she’d helped tutor him. He’s certain that even if she didn’t want to date him, she’d probably find a way to let him down nicely. Mina was sweet like that. It’s one of the reasons he likes her.

He’s still lost in the music, tapping his thumb on his knee with his eyes closed, when he feels a hand on his shoulder. He expects Denki or Hanta, maybe even Katsuki to come find him, maybe give him a pep-talk. But when he looks up, he finds Mina kneeling in front of him.

She smiles sweetly at him as she pulls one of his earbuds out. “Katsuki told me that I could probably find you here.”

“Y– yeah.”

Katsuki would… Eijirou sighs and smiles down at his hands. He’d told himself that he wasn’t hiding. That if he was hiding, he’d have just gone home. But right now, faced with her, he can’t lie to himself. He simply hadn’t thought to run any further. He’s not surprised that Katsuki had directed Mina right toward his favorite spot. They were always pushing each other to be manly, to be the best. Katsuki knows just as well as he does that he can’t be the best if he’s hiding from his problems instead of facing them head on.

Mina sits down beside him and Eijirou suddenly becomes very aware of the way her arm is brushing against his and where the toe of her boot is resting against his calf. He can feel the back of his neck growing warm and his hands beginning to sweat. He wipes his palms on his jeans and tries to think about what to say, but nothing comes to mind and they end up sitting in an awkward silence until Mina finally speaks.

“I’m sorry they laughed at you earlier.” Her fingers toy with the hem of her sweater. “Neito can be a real jerk sometimes.”

“Yeah.” Eijirou swallows hard.

He knows he should ask her now, but the words feel stuck in his throat. He can see the last of the students filing out of the school in the distance. He can hear the football team and the band clamoring over the metal bleachers above him as they get ready for the upcoming game. He knows that there isn’t anyone watching him right now, but it feels like it. It feels like she’s watching him.

Mina puts his earbud in and chuckles at the song currently playing. She nods her head to the beat and begins to wonder if maybe she wouldn’t think it’s silly that he’d made a playlist for her. Her shoulders sway, hair bouncing gently with the movement and all Eijirou can think about is how soft it would feel under his hand. The corner of his mouth quirks up into a half-smile as another song starts up and she begins to lip sync to another song he’d picked out just for her.

Mina nudges him playfully, trying to get him to sway with her. “I like this song.”

“I like you.” He hadn’t meant to say it, but there’s no taking it back. Not with the way she’s looking at him, wide-eyed and smiling.

It happens like slow lightning. One moment he’s staring at her, and the next, plush lips are pressed to his cheek, and it feels like the world around him stops. He can’t hear the students above them or the music from his phone. He swears he can’t hear anything over the rush of his pulse in his ears until she sits back and nudges his shoulder once more.

“I like you too.”

🐧Paring: Eijirou Kirishima x black reader

🐧Summary: you and Kiri get high and have sex in the car outside of the cinema

🐧Words: 900

🤣Notes: at this point i just wanna get high with all the MHA boys. ITS MY BIRTHDAY (the 16th) so if your reading this and you wanna make me happier then please interact with me cause I’m bored and have like -3 friends😗

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

“here” Kirishima says handing you the lit joint, he coughs a couple of times as the smoke fills his lungs. The two of you are sitting in Kiri’s car as you wait for your movie to start.

He watches intently as you bring the joint up to your lips and take a hit, discreetly adjusting himself in his sweatpants as he watches your lips wrap around the joint as you take another drag, letting the weed relax you.

Eijirou checks the time on the dashboard, still twenty minutes before the movie starts, that’s definitely enough time for the two of you to have a little fun.

He looks around the parking lot, happy that there’s not a lot of people who are here to see a movie on this random Thursday evening.

He reaches down to move his seat back, “just tryna get comfy” he told you when you gave him the side eye, already knowing where this was headed.

It doesn’t matter where the two of you are or what you’re doing, he’s always in the mood, and the addition of weed makes it ten times worse.

“baby” he whines trying to get your attention, smiling over at your once your eyes meet his. “c’mere, wanna kiss” he says patting his lap.

You’re on his lap within a couple of seconds, arms wrapped around his neck as his lips find yours, hands gripping your waist.

“missed you today” he says when he finally pulls away, lips traveling up your jaw, leaving a trail of open mouth kisses in there wake.

“mm I missed you too Kiri” you agree as you begin grinding your hips down on his already hard member, thrusting your chest further into his hands as he begins playing with your tits through your shirt.

“wanna go in the back?” he asks, nodding his head in the direction of the large backseat, needing more room to do what he wants to do to you.

You don’t respond, instead crawling your way through the middle console and sitting down in the backseat, Eijirou following suit, but it took a little while longer for him considering just how big he is.

 The second your both in the backseat his hands are roaming your body, squeezing and caressing whatever he can get his hands on.

He pulls your shirt over your head, placing it in the front seat so it’ll be easy for you to find when you’re done.

“wanna make you feel good” you tell him, pushing him to lay down on the seat before your hand is grabbing his dick under his boxers. He lifts his hips to help you push his pants past his thighs and down to his ankles.

You give a few kitten licks to the head before taking the head into your mouth and sucking. Kiri bucks up into your mouth, tip hitting the back of your throat as you gag around him, pulling off to allow yourself to catch your breath.

You take him back in your mouth, head bobbing up and down as you swallow around him.

“fuck” he groans as he pulls your mouth away from his dick, pushing his lips to yours as he pushes your shorts down your legs.

Fingers instantly probing at your entrance, wet and warm and ready. He pushes two of his long fingers inside of you stretching you out as he preps you for his cock.

“jus’ fuck me already” you whine out, causing him to chuckle as he pulls his fingers out, quickly sucking your juices off his fingers before lining himself up with your clenching entrance, slowly pushing through your walls, the two of you both moaning out together.

“f-fuck! Eiji! So big” you cant help but whine out, eyes already rolling to the back of your head and he hasn’t even started moving yet, giving you a few moments to adjust before he splits you open on his cock.

He pulls out all the way before slamming his hips back into yours, pace starting off brutal as the tip of his cock hits your cervix with each thrust.

“that’s it baby, fuck you take me so well” he groans in your ear.

You feel the familiar tightening in your stomach, walls clenching around him as you feel your orgasm approaching.

“you gonna cum for me?” kiri asks as he begins rubbing fast circles on your clit, feeling his own orgasm getting closer and closer.

All it takes is a few more thrusts before you cumming around his dick, loud moans falling from your lips as your walls clench tightly around him.

“fuckk” he groans out as he pulls out, cumming in random shirt he had in the back of his car.

It takes you both several minutes to come down from your high before you remember where you are and why you’re here.

“fuck we’re going to miss the movie” you pout because you really wanted to see this movie, you’ve been waiting for months for this movie to be released and you weren’t going to miss it today.

You both quickly throw on your clothes and rush into the cinema, where Kirishima has you cumming on his fingers again in the back of the theater.

Guess its safe to say you had to go see the movie a different day by yourself.

sleeping soundly in your boyfriend’s bed while he finished his night shift. katsuki had texted you letting you know he was going to be back late tonight and to go to bed without him. you usually don’t go to sleep until he comes back, not being able to sleep without knowing he's safe in your arms but today you were more tired than usual. having had a long day at the agency as well, you wanted nothing more than to just crash in bed and doze off to sleep. little did you know someone was lurking in the shadows waiting for you to do exactly that so he could make his move.

kirishima had been watching you all night since you arrived at your boyfriend’s apartment. spying on you from the glass balcony door in the bedroom, just outside your view. as soon as you were sound asleep, he slid the door open knowing bakugou would rarely close it not thinking anyone would be stupid enough to sneak into a top pro hero’s apartment.

he peered down at your sleeping self, missing seeing you this vulnerable with him. back when it was the three of you, you’d have fun with each other. exploring each other’s bodies and ravishing one another until the sun came up. you guys were climbing the hero charts together, but slowly bakugou and you started getting higher rankings while kirishima stayed stuck behind. making him doubt himself and even though you and katsuki always reassured him of his virtues, in the end eijirou let his insecurities get the best of him.

which led him to take a turn for what he considered to be the best. succumbing to the gruesome ways of villainies. quickly becoming one of the most, if not the topmost feared villain in the underworld. famous for shredding his victims into pieces with his quirk. rumored to drink their blood before ending their miserable lives. the poison in his sharp canines making them more pliable for him. earning him the name of blood riot, a name that would cause a blood-curling chill to run up and down the spine of anyone that hears it. 

eiji sits down beside you on the bed, calloused hand reaching up to remove some stray hairs from your face. running his fingers lightly against your neck, onto your shoulders, and down your sides as he drags the covers down with them. goosebumps erupting on your skin as the cold air hits your bare skin, having the habit of sleeping naked.

enjoying the view a while longer before rising to remove his clothes and crawl back into the bed behind you. you were laying down on your stomach with one leg up and the other straight. rough hands massage your glutes before gently spreading your legs further for him. spitting on your cunt, as he uses his thumb to spread it on your folds. kissing your shoulder as he starts rubbing small circles on your clit, dragging his fingers up to your entrance as he slowly inserts his digit into you.

thrusting his thumb in and out of you as he uses his other fingers to rub up and down your cunt, putting more pressure on the tip of his fingers every time they catch on your clit. briefly squirming under him before going still again. pulling his fingers away, he spits on his hand and gives his cock a few pumps before aligning himself with you. slowly bullying his way into you, your walls tightening around him, fighting the stretch of his large cock. 

picking up the pace when he hears you whimpering, thrusting his hips quickly as your eyes begin to flutter open. “kats?” you asked, still dazed from sleep but before you can look behind you a hand covers your mouth. “easy now, princess”. you immediately recognized that voice, squirming to try and get a peek of him.

going still the second you felt his hot breath on the side of your neck, his thick tongue licked a long stripe of flesh before he opened his mouth and sank his sharp teeth into your skin. a scream escaping your mouth, muffled by his large hand as pain shot through every part of your body. 

picking his thrust back up as he rams into you from behind, teeth still deep inside your neck making shivers run across your skin. “so fucking delicious” he grunts as he removes his teeth from you, fresh blood dripping down your chest and staining the sheets under you. the pain in your neck was throbbing as your mind started to go hazy. feeling your limbs give out on you, not having the strength to try and squirm away from him.

“that’s it baby, just relax for me” he whispers beside your ear as he continues to lap up the blood oozing from you. lowering his hand from your mouth and wrapping it around your neck, choking you tightly as he feels your walls pulsing around him.

the amount of slick coming out of you was embarrassing, it was making you sick how turned on your body is given your current situation. although part of you can’t deny that you’ve missed having him this close to you, buried so deep inside you that your mind goes empty. 

“cum for me… cum all over my cock baby” his words give you the extra push as you reach your climax, moaning and whimpering as he continues to pound into you at a rapid pace. “fuuuck that’s it” he whines as he sinks his teeth back into your flesh, your body jolting from the abrupt action, another wave of pain bursting across your skin as you scream again. the mixture of intense pleasure and pain sending you over the edge again as you squirt, soaking the sheets under you.

the feeling of your messy cunt spasming around him making his balls tighten as he cums inside you. long hot spurts of creamy whites coating your inner walls, his thrusts never faltering as he continues fucking his cum deeper into you. 

eijirou peeks over at the clock before he smirks against your skin, detaching his teeth from your flesh as he ogles at the pretty red color from your blood covering your skin and dripping down the sides of his mouth. pulling you with him so that you’re both now facing the bottom of the bed. catching on to his intentions you try to beg for him to stop but it was no use, you were too dazed to be able to fight him when he was twice your size.

“eiji please s-stop”, “shhh baby, we’re just getting started” he whispers as he starts thrusting at a violent pace. tightening his fingers around your throat to tone down your erratic moans as he sinks his teeth in your flesh, alternating between each side of your neck, each time sending waves of pleasure through your entire body as the sting from his sharp canines pulls orgasm after orgasm from you.

turning your face towards him as he pulls you in for a kiss, the pungent iron taste drowning your taste buds as his tongue tangles with yours. hearing the familiar sound of the keys jiggling against the door as the apartment door unlocks. your eyes immediately shoot open as eijirou smirks against your lips, the sound of heavy footsteps getting closer and closer to the bedroom.

Feeling like a ghost

Summary: It was hard to be marry to someone who acts like you aren’t there.

Word count: 1.1 k

Warnings: Angst, mentions of pregnancy

Paring: Shoto x Fem! reader

This marriage was nothing like you planned. When you talked he would leave the room or when you craved a date or a little attention he wasn’t there. Part of you knew his reasons, this wasn’t the ideal life you wanted at first either but with time you learn to accept there wasn’t another way to live it now. 

When your parents told you about their plan and either you like it or not, the wedding would be done. They said it was the opportunity of a lifetime. Having such a recognized name as the Todoroki name was a privilege and you should be grateful. That’s what they said. They planned all out. They only wanted you to have the best life you could live. 

You remember your wedding so well. The weather was perfect and you kept on smiling trying to make sure your future husband knew you were happy to be with him. He never looked at you. Not even once in the whole day and he hasn’t done it since. Everyone said your dress was stunning and your make up on point. The comments you hear about how pretty you would look pregnant were everywhere. That made Eiji talk to you for the first time and pull you aside from the party. 

“You understand why I chose you to be my son’s wife, right? Your quirk is amazing and I am convinced that with my son’s you could make really powerful children. I'm expecting a grandson or two soon” That was almost two years ago and you couldn’t even make Shoto sleep in the same bed as you. He was always upset or distant, you have never seen him smile one or try to keep a conversation with you. 

Once you sat in the living room for 4 hours convinced that if you didn’t move or talk it would be like if you weren’t even there. You looked at him for a while but he… he just ignored you. You knew he noticed your presence but he was acting like you didn’t exist. 

There were too many tears around the house and you felt like drowning. 

Always trying to be the perfect wife to the perfect hero, to the perfect man, to the perfect husband. It was so tiring to only pretend to be when the cameras and people were looking at you. 

Pressure and expectations. Gossip, rumors and hate everywhere. You had to deal with all that by yourself because at the end of the day, you were completely alone. 

No real friends, your family only close to ask you why you weren’t pregnant yet. Why wasn't your husband around? What is wrong with your marriage? 

Let’s not talk about Endeavor because even if you didn’t see him all the time, when you did you could notice how disappointed he was. You promised to give him grandchilds and now it was like you weren’t even trying. Sometimes you would walk around this big cold house feeling like a ghost. The ghost of a woman who died waiting for her husband to love her. 

He was sitting on one of the sofas with his computer on and a bunch of papers spread all over the coffee table. 

“Why aren’t you in your office?” You asked. 

“It’s being redecorated. We have a lot of people on my floor at the moment and I can’t concentrate.” 

It was the first time he answered without sounding like he wanted to finish the conversation. Honestly it lightened up your whole mood 'cause then you found yourself sitting beside him with a hot cup of coffee and smiling slightly at him.  It was the first time you were by his side and you didn’t feel like bursting into tears.

He noticed you staring and the you quickly turned your head like a silly school girl who got caught looking at the boy she had a crush on. That amused him. The smile he had on his face was the first one you have seen all these years being his wife. It was genuine too.

This was strange. Everything seemed different, everything was different but you couldn’t catch on why. 

Your eyes fixed on his hands typing on his computer while you laid down on the couch. You swear this is how real couples act. This is how it should have gone when you first got married. 

“Shoto?” 

“Mhm?” He said mindlessly typing. 

“Why are you never home?” Shoto stopped and for a moment you regret even opening your mouth. When you were about to tell him to forget about it. 

“I don’t like looking at you. Because everytime I do, I only remember how miserable I am and how miserable you must be.” Your heart skipped a beat. He didn’t seem to doubt his answer. That’s what it hurted you the most. 

“But… maybe if we spend more time together. Maybe if you took the time to be here we could make this less hurtful. Maybe you could even lo-” 

“Please don’t say it.” He was starting to put away his things when you got up to stop him

“I’m sorry. But you cannot expect me to stay here and keep quiet. Everyone is expecting to see me with a baby some time soon. And I hate feeling alone.” He refused to even face you. It hit you ego because even though you were used to his indifference you were trying to get him to talk but he seemed like he wanted to disappear. 

“I’m never going to love you y/n. That’s the way it is. Maybe I loved you in another life, but not in this one. God, I’m sorry. Midoriya told me to be nicer with you but I get it was a mistake. This isn’t going to change my feelings about you.”

You kept quiet fighting the tears trying to escape from your eyes. It hurts. It hurted when he walked out of the room leaving you alone once more with your heart shattered. There wasn’t enough air for you to breathe. 

Later you found yourself signing divorce papers and running away. Everyone was disappointed and you too for not making Shoto Todoroki to love you.
