#tysm for giving me the opportunity to ramble about these guys!!!

[crepuscularqueens]

for character bingo… tell me about joel and ellie from the last of us.. also pls discuss your favourite blorbo from black sails (i do not watch black sails but i think fondly of it based on all the content you put on my dash) :))

omg!!!!! tysm 😊

i will admit im a week behind on tlou (and i have an unfortunate case of cannot play video games so im only vaguely familiar with the games through dashboard osmosis) BUT!!! i have been enjoying the show and these two so so much and their dynamic has been such a joy to watch grow and shift as they're put in Situations

joel:

as me and my sister were both saying the other day, i haven't seen pedro pascal in anything (before this) but i love him and im a big fan of his work

ellie:

she's so... i want to protect her but she definitely wants to be able to handle things herself (from what ive seen)

these two feel like my friends extended family. i like them A LOT and wish them all the best (in their unfortunate nightmare filled reality) but i don't know them as well as i wish i did! (they are both bastard (affectionate) though)

i cheated and did two black sails characters bc i love both max and flint so much

max:

my wife forever and ever. not Everyone is wrong about her but i've seen so many bad takes about her (especially her drown the damned cat speech. obviously if you take the words drown the damned cat out of context it sounds bad but if you look at the scope of what she is dealing with and has dealt with in her lifetime...) anyway. just to say i would love her and she is so beautifully complicated. sorry for rambling <3

flint:

bastard bastard man. understandably so. but sometimes YEAH I WOULD JUST WANT TO BITE HIM because he could make things easier for himself by say... not choosing the worst thing to say at a tense moment where people's faith in him are on the line. i love him tho. he's my best friend.

[mondaymelon]

actually... im fine with it. (yandere!pantalone x gn!reader)

warnings! yandere implications, mentions of kidnapping and being tied up (not sexually), fluff

(a/n) requested by an anon!! tysm for requesting ♡ reminder that requests are open!!

˚*ੈ✩‧₊˚*ੈ✩‧₊˚*ੈ✩‧₊˚˚*ੈ✩‧₊˚*ੈ✩‧₊˚*ੈ✩‧₊˚˚*ੈ✩‧₊˚*ੈ✩‧₊˚*ੈ✩‧₊˚

"Are you awake?" A gloved hand reached out and grasped you chin lifting it up to give the holder a closer look of your expression.

Slowly blinking open your eyes, you surveyed the room quietly, noting that there were chains on the wall, along with a bed, and there were no windows. Your wrists burned, too, from where they were tied up behind you on the chair you were sitting on. The only source of light in the dimly-lit room was the small, singular chandelier that hung on the ceiling, seeming oddly out of place considering how grim the entire scene looked.

Finally, you focused your gaze at the man in front of you, still holding your chin and giving you a close-eyed smile. "Where am I?"

The black-haired man in front of you didn't skip a beat, only taking his hand of your chin and instead gesturing to the area. "A special place I prepared just for you."

"Why am I here?"

The man laughed. "My, you're taking this awfully calmly. You're here because I brought you here, of course."

well no shit. even i could make out that much.

"Who are you?" You questioned, although almost immediately regretted it after seeing the man's expression darken.

"Hahah... of course." Laughing, he stood up, from which he had originally been bending down to match your height. "You never even noticed me."

Thoughts ran through your head as you tried to put his face to names, but none matched until something lit up in your brain. "Pantalone?"

"Yes, that is my name." Pantalone sighed sorrowfully, his gaze never leaving your face. "But to you, I was just the kind man who you helped give directions to."

"How- Why-"

"Because I love you, my angel. More than you will ever realize."

You stayed silent at the sudden confession, although considering that you were the one that was restrained in some unknown place, it would be unwise of you to decline. Archons know what he would do to you.

"I've been watching you for weeks. Not through my underlings... I can't trust them. You're too lovely, they'd fall in love with you too, and then I'd have another problem to deal with. No... I watched you out of my own love, saving you from whatever trouble you had encountered behind the scenes and always making sure that you would be okay." Pantalone didn't seem to care whether you were listening or not, but rambled on anyway, his voice only becoming more and more desperate.

"But then some guy came to your house and saw me, and then began asking for you. Who does he think he is, asking to see you so casually??" The man's voice broke off into a low growl as his expression contorted into one of rage. "So I took care of him."

"You... killed him??"

"Darling, come on now, don't be mad at me. It was for your own good. After that, I knew it was much too dangerous to be living alone in a world of predators, so I generously took you in. This is where you'll be staying from now on. With me until the end of time."

"..."

"You answer? You can't refuse, but I'd still like another opportunity to hear your beautiful voice again."

"...Actually... I'm fine with it." You had come to the conclusion in the matter of seconds, but from what little knowledge you knew, you concluded that Pantalone had to have been powerful in status, careful with his plans, and also dangerous enough to have anyone look the other way to what he was doing. And considering the jeweled chandelier that dangled about five feet away from you, you also concluded that Pantalone was considerably wealthy. Not only that, but during his speech, you couldn't help but feel... moved. He had gone to such lengths just to make sure that you'd rest easy.

Not only that, he was also quite the looker himself. With that curly, soft black locks and fair face, every time you looked at him, you could feel your heart skip a beat. And if you really were to live here, then wouldn't that mean you wouldn't have to pay rent? And you'd get free meals everyday?

If he was shocked, he hid it well. Nevertheless, he wasn't able to stop the utterly confused expression flitting across his face. "You're... okay with it? I mean- that's good- but I expected at least a little resistance." He didn't seem disappointed per say, more just startled that you had actually agreed from what free will you had.

"Well... yeah. I mean... sure, you're a pretty dangerous person, but you do seem to actually care for me. Not only that, I wouldn't have to pay rent, get free food... not to mention that you're quite handsome yourself." Attempting to explain yourself, you winced as the tight ropes cut into your skin. Immediately, Pantalone rushed forward, uttering you quiet apologies as he cut the ropes off your hands with a knife that he had hidden in his sleeve.

He cleared his throat as you watched you settle into a more comfortable position, remorsefully noting the reddened bruises on your wrists. "I'm... handsome to you?"

As you nodded, he turned away, but you were able to spot his flushing ears that his hair was tucked behind.

"Aha... You really are too kind." The black-haired man smiled at you. "This is for the better. If you really are agreeing this steadily, then it means you won't try to run away. And if that doesn't happen, we can live together. Happily for the rest of our lives." And just like that, he swiftly leaned forward, holding your chin up with both hands as his soft lips met yours and engulfed you into a kiss. You felt your face burn warm, but you didn't resist, nor did you want to. Sensational fireworks seemed to light off from every inch of your skin, diving your consciousness in a sea of warmth. When Pantalone finished, he pulled away only slightly, giving you a smirk that played on his lips.

"You can expect more of that later."

masterlist ✩

[leonenjoyer69]

Both your OCs occupy space in my mind lol I love both Harry and Elias. Would you mind giving some more rambles please and thank you? About either one. I just love learning more about them.

VJEKBKDKF TYSM, I'M GLAD YOU LIKE THEM :D it makes me very happy to know that people enjoy my ramblings and art of my lil fellas :3 (also, all you sweet anons are gonna be the death of me with your mysterious identities!)

(SUB NOTE: if anyone ever has any ideas at all or art requests or something for either of my sillies PLEASE don't hesitate to bring them up I would literally love hearing any suggestion or answering any question ever)

Anyways!!! I've actually been waiting to drop a bunch of stuff on these fellas that I've been talking about with some folks on Discord (which y'all can also ask for if you wanna talk to me on there I LOVE TALKING TO YOU GUYS), so thank you for granting me the perfect opportunity >:3 so, without further ado, I shall begin:

First of all, i just wanted to drop my height HCs bc,,,, why not lmao

I can't exactly visualize heights very well in my mind so these may be a wee bit too tall, idk, but yeah! I think giving Hyde an extra half inch would be funny bc you KNOW that mf would just round up lmao. Elias is a bit taller than Hyde, which Hyde kinda hates sometimes, itty bitty fella.

Anyways!! Harry is first up for rambling bc I have less for him rn lmao. I don't remember if ive mentioned it much before on here, but I know I included it in the fic i did for him, and that's his Scottish accent :3 we as a fandom don't write Jekyll's accent enough so I like projecting it onto injured Hyde and now Harry 😌 MORE SCOTTISH JEKYLL PLEASE-

Harry didn't really have to worry about keeping face in the mindscape (except for when around Mind Lanyon, who would pester tf out of him over it) so he fell back to at LEAST having an accent. He partially fell back on it because 1, it made him feel a wee more comfortable, and 2, because of how often he revisited memories from university (specifically during his and Lanyon relationship ofc), so he's used to hearing himself speaking with at least a drawl.

But yeah, that accent kinda sticks with him when he gains control and he has quite a hard time shaking it, which makes for some fun interactions, like when Lanyon's trying to break down his office door :3333

I believe I've mentioned this, but Harry is very very sensitive to most physical sensations (touch, pain, etc.) and has some light and sound sensitivities for a decent bit after gaining control. Because of how long he spent in the mindscape with numbed senses, It really messed with him to suddenly have control again. Eventually he starts getting used to it again, but for the first few days he's practically on the edge of a mental breakdown at every moment. He's also super jumpy from it (and from the ungodly paranoia he got from the mindscape lmao) and is quite firmly "no touch" for about a week (except for when he initiates stuff with Lanyon). Once he gets used to it tho his touch starved ass is a lot more affectionate and such.

One last thing for him! He's also far more sensitive to hunger and thirst sensations/pain, so he tends to take far better care of their body while in control. It took him a short while to get used to eating and drinking again, but he's more than happy to do it, not realizing how much he had missed it. Plus, he's seen how horrible Jekyll and Hyde would take care of themselves, so he certainly doesn't want their neglect to be his downfall. He's also a bit more sensitive to being tired, but can't sleep very well (especially without Lanyon) because of paranoia and nightmares.

OKAY, NOW, onto Elias!! Most all this stuff is from a discord convo that I didn't feel like rewording, so... Sorry if the formatings weird 💀 (questions are indented and italicized, as well as abbreviated)

OKAY SO, For how Henry (or whoever) convinces Elias to switch back:

Elias usually throws some sort of fit when he's initially order to switch back (except for the very rare instances where he's actively wanting to switch back, like when everyone's busy and he starts getting lonely anyways), though most the time he'll simmer down when Henry starts sorta begging or when either Henry or Lanyon (or very occasionally Hyde) lowkey bribe him. Usually Henry (or Hyde) will bribe him with physical touch/affection (hugs, cuddling, kisses, stuff like that), or bonding time, like going out and doing things together and such (or just doing stuff together at the society, like watching Henry do science or doing paperwork 💀). (Also, sometimes Jekyll will just get somewhat impatient and start asking more desperately and the guilt kinda gets to Elias, Henry usually feels bad about it tho) otherwise, Lanyon will bribe him (quite grudgingly, might I add) with more time out, going to the park with Elias in shadow form and talking, or letting him get a gift for Jekyll or Hyde. But yeah, Elias is lowkey like a little affectionate, overactive puppy :3

[...] I misread "letting him get a gift for Jekyll or Hyde" as "letting him get a gift FROM Jekyll or Hyde" and swore for a moment that sometimes Jekyll/Hyde sent gifts to Elias but Lanyon stole them [... ]

LANYON WOULD TOTALLY STEAL ELIAS'S STUFF TO USE AS BARGAINING LEVERAGE 💀 but yes, bribery is the go to, this guy does NOT like being locked away, so when he does it's either out of guilt or he's getting something out of it, hehe

[...] Imagine that since Lanyon is probably taller than elias, he just hides some lf his stuff on higher places so that he cannot reach them, I feel like Elias would annoy the hell out of him so that he stops doing it though (Lanyon puts them back where they where, and when Elias isn't there, he just hides them again) also, I just imagined Jekyll like guilt tripping or manipulating him so that he drinks the potion

Oh he absolutely would, Lanyon would have a whole "confiscated" shelf for it too, and Elias would definitely whine about it with sooo much persistence. AND JFKGKKF YEAH JEKYLL WOULD 😭😭 both out of selfishness and not, since he still hasn't tested how the formula behaves when an alter ego is out for prolonged amounts of time, and sometimes he just wants Robert back.

Jekyll likes Elias, he just has more of a preference for Lanyon. Jekylls probably also got a bit less patience for Elias's whining after dealing with Hyde's for so long lmao, he always feels kinda bad about being mean or anything to Elias tho, since it's kinda his fault that Lanyon split.

Would Lanyon ever like bother Elias with the fact that Jekyll likes him better?? Like maybe, at one point he just gets too tired of him wanting to hang out with Jekyll and says to him that Jekyll just deals with him out of pity, and like Elias then just feeling kinda bad about it and wondering if Jekyll actually likes him??

If Lanyon's feeling especially spiteful and annoyed, probably, but also Elias worries about that enough on his own and bothers Lanyon with all his self deprecating thoughts anyways 💀

How does Hyde feel about Elias?

He's generally guilt free about the whole "splitting Lanyon" thing and /gen likes Elias way more than he likes Lanyon lmao. He still gets that sorta bitter anger and resentment when he looks at Lanyon, but he doesn't get that with Elias. Hyde kinda thinks that Elias is all the best parts of Lanyon (Except for Elias's emotional sensitivity sometimes, but Hyde deals. He feels surprisingly bad when he upsets Elias..) But yeah, Elias is most of the reason why Hyde is complacent enough to actually kinda lay low after messing up Blackfog and stuff, so Jekyll certainly likes Elias for keeping Hyde somewhat in check lmao

And that's everything I have for this!!! Thank you so much for the ask :D

[pixyys]

Ello pixyys! I have a request BUT PLEASE DO THIS AFTER YOU'VE FINISHED ALL OF YOUR HOMEWORK AND FINALS!!! AND TAKE YOUR TIME PLEASE I DON'T WANT YOU BURNING OUT!

so for my request, can I request the Flags with a reader who really likes classical music and hates any sacrilegious-ness and they are able to play the piano and other instruments too? And they have really good classical music knowledge and can name any piece in like a few seconds- wait why am I sounding like I'm describing myself ;-;

ANYWAYSSS stay safe drink water get enough sleep I love you mwah

— artistic elegance.

bsd characters with a reader who likes classical music, plays various musical instruments and despises sacrilege. (fellow twosetters, iykyk👀)

ft. the flags + some small extras at the end :)

warnings/notes. gn! reader

💌HII SILVER!! thank you for the request!! and aa tysm i love you too <33 i love that gif! bsd wan gives me life (´͈  ᵕ `͈ ) also! i'm still not that familiar with the flags' personalities, so they might be a bit ooc :" but i hope this is up to your expectations!

piano man

piano man is a cultured gentleman! he may not be as well-versed in classical music as you do. but he might know one or two of the popular pieces.

this man is a man of whimsy and cruel elegance. needless to say, he respects art and delicacy. and more than all, he is drawn to your immaculate and refined taste in music.

he loves hearing you talk about your interest! from your long rambles about a particular piece to small trivia about concerts and the likes.

he will reassure you that he's not using piano wires to strangle people (lmao)

please please please make a joke about how "piano man" can't play the piano (silver iykyk haha)

if you're willing, piano man will be interested in learning the piano from you. at least to honour his name (it's just his ploy to spend more time with you <3)

he'll come to your concerts and see you play if you're performing in one <3 alternatively, you both go to orchestras and classical music concerts together

he's also canonically fastidious, so he respects perfection. he's inwardly proud if you're very dedicated to your practices. he likes hardworking people.

however! he'll know when to stop you when you're overworking yourself. when your eyebrows start to crease and that gleam in your eyes whenever your fingers dance on the piano keys fades away, he'll silently approach you, gently reaching for your hand and pressing a kiss on your cheek.

"you've done enough, love. you're amazing. you'll do splendidly."

does stopping you from practising 40 hours a day count as sacrilege? probably. as much as he hates upsetting you, piano man is willing to commit any sin if it's meant for your well-being and safety </3

‎ ‎ ‎

lippmann

another chap who's fairly familiar with classical music. i'm sure some of his movies use classical music as soundtracks, and at some point, he has most likely acted as a musician character.

very intrigued by your extensive knowledge of musical instruments and classical pieces. he will definitely ask you for some pointers for when he has to act in a musical performance scene.

oh boy. the poor guy doesn't know what he signed up for.

"your wrist is too low. your bowing looks off," you comment as you both watch a particular scene where he act-plays the violin.

from then on, he takes your suggestions and corrections very seriously, which he is very grateful for because they help his acting career too.

more than anything though, lippmann doesn't want to upset you by committing "sacrilege"—as you like to call it.

you can teach him, let's say, a violin, or any other musical instrument. alternatively, you can take crash courses together as cute little dates <3 (all the more opportunity to flex your skills and impress him haha)

he's doing it very well, though. he's a fast learner. it's almost unfair how he has a natural talent for almost everything; from acting to negotiation skills.

he is.. very pretty.. regardless if people recognize him as a popular actor or not. so you may start regretting it when everyone from the course is starting to crowd him lmao. maybe this is not a very good idea after all,,

but! imagine this:

it's well-known that lippmann's music-acting is getting more realistic and accurate. there's this particular scene in a romance movie he starred in that causes quite a ruckus among his fans: the character he acted is playing a piece dedicated to his beloved. but his act-performance is just so 'full of love' and everyone goes crazy over it. when an interview session asks him about how he did this, he just smiles into the camera and,

"oh, i did picture a special person during that scene. they've helped me a lot, and i'm very grateful for them. you can say that 'performance' was dedicated for them."

i digress. but i'd simply die lmao

oh well, the internet will go crazy, again. "hit actor lippmann's secret muse!?" as said by the headline of the tabloid magazine. but eh, as they said, all's well should end well.. probably.

‎ ‎

albatross

no matter how i see him, albatross is a menace (lmao)

he's likely to not know a lot about classical music and musical instruments in general. but hey! trying is also a love language.

probably gets curious when you are practising. after you explain to him the basics, there is a high chance he'll go "oh! as i expected, you're very amazing! i think i'll go for the triangle instead." 💀

he's just very impressed at whatever you're doing. you pulled off a particularly difficult, or just a so-so piece? "woah! that is so cool!" you somehow manage to name any classical piece playing within five seconds? "what kind of sorcery are you doing?!" you're going on a long ramble about how a movie depicted orchestras and piano-playing very very wrongly? albatross has no idea what you're talking about. but whatever you're doing, don't stop. he likes seeing you all happy and enthusiastic. there's something about how your eyes light up or how a smile bloom on your lips. they never fail to make his day brighter.

this man is competitive. at one point, he will start listening to classical pieces and make it a competition on who can name a piece's title whenever there's one playing. of course, he loses, every time. can't forget that time he called Franz Liszt's Hungarian Rhapsody No. 2 "that one tom and jerry song."

"it's a piece, not a song, albatross."

"but it's still in tom and jerry."

well, he's not wrong, technically.

albatross will probably get excited (and be embarrassing), gushing over you if he ever comes to see you perform in a concert or the like. "look at them! they're so cool!" he'll half-whisper to anyone sitting close to him until he receives several warning glares for being noisy. oh well, at least he knows not to clap during auditions.

please prevent this man from doing any more sacrilege (lmao i keep on slandering him, sorry albatross you're a real one for this </3)

‎

iceman

this man canonically likes to drink coffee and listen to records—a side only a few people know, and you're one of those few people.

he listens to a variety of genres, and classical pieces vinyl take up considerable space in his collection. he may be the closest to being fairly knowledgeable in classical pieces as you are.

he might not be the type to play a musical instrument himself. instead, he adores hearing you play. not that the recordings are bad, but your playing is just much more relaxing and the sounds flow better to his ears.

maybe above all, it's your presence that he finds peace from. either way, iceman is glad he can know someone who shares an overall similar interest with him.

you both can go to a record store! watch him just chuckle in amusement whenever you perk up as the store plays a classical piece, then immediately recognize the piece's title. he finds your enthusiasm cute. and not to mention, that broad knowledge is impressive. even he can't remember that many classical pieces.

he will be very grateful if you shove a good amount of music recommendations to him, or make a playlist for him! iceman might just listen to it in his free time because they remind him of you <3

in terms of sacrilege, he doesn't really mind much and leans on the more chill side. oh? that movie you're both watching is playing a very badly acted orchestra scene? he finds the way you internally cringe amusing. but iceman understands how such things really upset you, so he'll be there to listen to your rambles and criticisms.

all in all, he's a very chill but loving guy <3

‎ ‎

doc

he is mostly ambivalent about classical music and musical instruments. but as a doctor, he knows well that classical music is scientifically proven to be able to reduce stress and alleviate anxiety.

for that reason, he might know one or two things about classical music. but nothing too in-depth besides the fact it has some therapeutic effects to it.

hence! it's the perfect opportunity to tell him everything you know! (and flex when you're at it)

"doc! don't you know that not all classical music is relaxing? for example this one-"

he watches curiously as you show him a recorded piece, the '1812 overture.' he did expect and somewhat know that there are fast-paced and energetic classical pieces out there. but he did not expect canon fires incorporated into the piece.

"this sounds like it'll give people from the mafia anxiety instead."💀

but yeah. as someone who studied a lot, and used to be a student before being a doctor, he seems like the type who appreciates knowledge very much. he is intrigued by the tidbits of occasionally out-of-pocket trivia you casually bring up.

all the same, he likes listening to you play after he's done with his work, or during his day off. being a doctor can be more stressful than being on the front lines, as there are many injuries he had to treat as soon as possible, and he has to handle occasional foolish and careless individuals who don't heed his warnings. 

but! doc, hence his name, is a doctor. he will not take it kindly if you're pushing yourself with your practice, or being too anxious about an upcoming concert or performance. while not musically adept enough to help you with practices, doc will try his best to calm you down, reminding you that fatigue can ruin your concentration too. he's heard you play and practice multiple times, so he reassures you that all you need is just rest and you'll ace the performance.

all things considered, he just really cares for your well-being <3

‎

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

 ♡ extra! ♡

adam will take you to a museum of musical instruments. fascinating. you can see not only today's instruments, but also pianos, violins, and cellos over the years. this man can and will give you elongated lectures about each instrument. fun and informative! 

chuuya is very extra himself, and he will do the same in handling your interest; if you want, he'll take you to equally very extra operas and concerts, where you all dress up fancy and wear those nifty galilean binoculars to see the stage. classy!

verlaine probably doesn't understand why or how you grow to like music, particularly classical music very much. but! he is fond of how you're very passionate about it, and not sharing the same interest won't stop him to ask you for a dance—a slow waltz only yours and your own to share with him. during late nights after private dinners, he sways you gently, holding you close; whether with a piece playing in the background or just the sound of your hums and heartbeat. your steps may be clumsy or hesitant, but he will catch you before you stumble. 

end notes. aaand that's a wrap! not me imagining date scenarios with each one of them lmao. was in a very fluffy mood haha! had a lot of fun writing this

[sleepiest-writing]

Hello✨✨ man I e been wanting to a mashup since forever so TYSM for this opportunity I genuinely greatly appreciate it✨

Ok so let’s see, I am 5’3 early 20s mex girlie (no real care for pronouns I’ll go by all and any) and non labeled sexuality (I’ll fall for anyone for any reason) possibly adhd or autistic but undiagnosed so no medical proof on that, I am a Scorpio, infp and year of the goat (idk I’ve seen those included in stuff) I love anything art related (arts n craft)? I draw a lot, and in turn also adore seeing peoples art journey, style and character designing. I also adore cooking and baking, but I am a beginner, learnings is so much fun anyways. I’ve been told that I can be energetic, kinda clingy, really forgetful and sweet. Which fair, my head is a constant mess that rarely runs on organized thoughts, most of it is impulsive,how fun. I get distracted easily, my attention span is pretty much nonexistent, and I forget a concerning amount of things throughout the day. I struggle to keep my areas clean but I’m getting better. My love/affection language would be physical touch, words of affirmation and gift giving, not even expensive things, for the most part it’s been homemade meals for my sisters, and small trinkets I find for my friends. I’m also a hopeless romantic, and I love all things horror :3 I also have little to no self preservation, and dares are always a go (I once ate a dandelion cuz me n my sisters thought it would be funny, and it was) oh yeah, I’m also an ambivert who loves to go outside, socializing is a nightmare but people are interesting and I wanna be more social, I’m just stupidly shy. I also have a lot of habits that others seem to like? My sisters have commented I’m very expressive via eyes, and on more than one occasion have caused them to fall laughing. A lot of my relatives have said I’m very loving and have way to much to give because I’m always hugging people I like and clinging to them (ex my favorite Tia), and friends have told me I need to stop being attached or wanting the attention of those who aren’t… All that good to me, I have a difficult time accepting things, change is hard and I can be irrational about things pertaining to my well being. And my last habit would be, that I’ve been called weak willed and dense as fuck, weak willed because it doesn’t take much to sway me, or get me to do something. And dense cuz social cues are difficult, like how am I supposed to know this person genuinely finds me enjoyable to be around, I call bs

Uh for the mashup I would like it romantic, and long If possible (idk if this is enough, sorry for the mess of info I hope it’s good enough :’3)

TYSM for granting this long time wish✨✨💕

Hello Hello! You sound absolutely wonderful, thank you for the matchup!

Also thank you for your patience because I know you've been sitting in my ask box for quite the while! Here's your lover boy ;D

꒷꒥꒷꒥꒷꒷꒥꒷꒥꒷꒷꒥꒷꒥꒷꒷꒥꒷꒥꒷꒷꒥꒷꒥꒷꒷꒥꒷꒥꒷꒷꒥꒷꒥꒷꒷꒥꒷꒥꒷꒷꒥꒷꒥꒷꒷꒥꒷꒥꒷꒷꒥꒷꒥꒷꒥

I match you up with....

TANG ! [US!papyrus]

☁︎‎‎‧ This guy WILL make you shitty crafts about your most recent interest!

☁︎‎‎‧ He LOVES when you cling to him, lets you grab his arm in public, hell depending on who's around he'll let you climb him- he loves it.

☁︎‎‎‧ he's an extroverted introvert because of his brother, so he's chill with socialising and helps create segways that include you in the conversation without that weird awkwardness.

☁︎‎‎‧ However he is also absolutely horrendous when it comes to social cues, so he tends to fall back on his jokes as a backup.

☁︎‎‎‧ Adores how expressive your facial features are, catch this idiot looking at you and just melting - especially if you're mid-ramble.

☁︎‎‎‧ Again because of this brother, He's good at cleaning and organising- So tries to help whenever you let him, he'd never move your things around without asking. He would buy so many folders and binders for you for any art you may create.

☁︎‎‎‧ At first, he'd panic a bit about you being irrational about yourself. He'd have to ask questions to try and help, he's trying.

☁︎‎‎‧ Lastly, He'd not stand for anyone calling you weak-willed, he knows how to set healthy boundaries while also dealing with people who are used to walking all over others. Hopefully you pick up on how to put your foot down, but there's no rush for that, he understands it takes time and a lot of mental effort.

I hope you enjoyed this matchup! Once again I apologise for being so late with it but I hope your happy with it! I loved writing this :D

[honeystwiggypeach]

(Highschool time) Imagine kenma wanting to confess to his crush but is scared and kuroo is like "ill Help you!!" And he always makes comments when his crush Walks near like for example "kenma you were playing really well today!" And more stuff

Then someday he drags kenma to his crush and is making kenma feel embarrased about the stuff kuroo does to get then together

Bestie you always have such amazing ideas???? I live this it fits their friend ship so well Kenma’s probably told him to knock it off so many times but Kuroo everytime is like but I’m helping and kenma can’t help but let him continue😭Anywho! Tysm for the request! If anyone wants to see anything else let me know because I love requests!!

For the past six months everytime you passed Kuroo and Kenma you’d hear Kuroo being obnoxiously loud while he announces the achievements Kenma had made in the day.

Sometimes they weren’t all truthful, like today you watched them practice, more like sat beside Kenma as he showed you how he beat a particularly hard level, but when you’d stopped at your locker which was right beside Kenma’s, you heard Kuroo loudly congratulate Kenma on how hard he played during practice, you simply went about your day a little confused.

The next day at lunch you discovered that it was apparently only you that Kuroo did this around and your friends had no idea what you were talking about.

And than on Monday of the next week you figured out why. Today your friend had been out of school sick, so Kuroo took this opportunity to send Kenma in. Of course first he sat beside you dragging Kenma along, he started telling you about every possible thing about Kenma that you could be interested in.

You and Kenma shared a look of confusion as you watched Kuroo ramble for majority of the lunch.

“…and that’s why I think you should go on a date with Kenma!” It’s very clear he’s proud of himself, you can hear it in his tone and the way he holds his nose up.

“…alright sure! What time” you look to kenma who’s eyebrows are raised to the sky, he’s never asked anyone in a date much less actually been on one before.

“Sunday?” He sounds unsure and you nod quickly taking out an ink pen and writing down your number on his hand before going off somewheres.

“That was so embarrassing” Kenma mutters hiding his face in his hands.

“But you got a date!” Kenma will give him that, he wouldn’t have gotten a date with you if it wasn’t for Kuroo.

Let me know if you guys want to see anything else because I love requests sm!!!

enhypen giving their s/o the look of love

request: Hiii! Is it possible for me to request an enhypen giving their S/O the look of love, like the ones in the k-dramas. If not that's perfectly fine!

pairing: enhypen x gn! reader (individually)

warnings: none just pure fluff, lower case intended, non-idol!au

a/n: hi, tysm for requesting ^^ I hope its fine that I did it with bullet points, since it was easier writing it this way. I hope you like and enjoy <3

continue under the cut !

lee heeseung

okay so, we all know that heeseung is the ace of enhypen right?

and he has a perfect pitch

so you're his s/o and you need help in your music class

and lets say that you are given a project to play one of your favorite songs by just listening to the music and recreating it.

like yaknow- just playing it on an instrument without knowing the exact chords

and you're quite struggling with recreating your chosen song, and you chose to play the piano

and here's where heeseung comes in

you told him you needed help with the project

and he immediately helped you

oh to have a lee heeseung in my life

and when you started to get the hang of it

heeseung let you play it by yourself

and why you're playing, he just looks at you with a fond smile

and all in his mind was

"how did I get so lucky to have them as my s/o"

he's so in love with you pls :((

park jongseong

oh boy, so we know that jay's family is rich right?

and that he's an only child

so we can only picture that his parents might be strict regarding jay's dating life.

and can also picture that his parents want to meet his s/o immediately within a week or two of being them official

and here you are sitting on jay's front seat on the way to their his parent's house

you were really worried that his parents wouldn't approve the both of you

but jay kept on reassuring you that his parents would love you

thanks to jay's reassurance, your worries faded away

not until you step into the front porch that is

after jay introduced you to his parents in the living room, they invited you to eat

and during dinner, you and his mom hit off quite well

both of you were smiling and laughing as if you guys knew each other

and jay couldn't help but stare at you lovingly while you have fun with his mother

while resting his head in one of his arms that are propped to the table

I can even see him joke to his mom that she's stealing his s/o away from him lmao

sim jaeyun

ok so, this boy loves his physics, right?

like how kuroo loves his chemistry

anyways

so imagine him having a s/o that equally loves physics like he does

aka, you

lmao I just know that I don't love physics

so, of course, it's normal for the both of you to go out on dates and all

but lets say that both of you don't know that you both love physics vv much

only both of you know that both of you tolerate physics

so both of you went on a study date for the first time

and when it was time to study physics,

you can't help but just ramble about random physics facts and trivia to jake

and right then and there he just stares at you with heart eyes

pls mans is in love with u bestie

park sunghoon

so our ice prince

I can just see him teaching his s/o how to ice skate

like how he taught the members to ice skate

so you both went out on a date

and hoon suggested that you try to ice skate and that he'll help you

so, obviously not letting the opportunity pass, you agreed

I mean who would let the opportunity pass

so at the skating rink, you wouldn't let go of sunghoon's hand while he guides you on how to skate

sunghoon wouldn't give up to help you

and after thirty minutes or so, you got the hang of it

and while skating around, you shouted

"sunghoon, look at me!"

bestie, you didn't have to tell him, he's been looking at you from the start

but when you started to skate closer to him

he couldn't help but just look at you with adoration and love with a smile

like the one where he looked at the members while they skate

I am so lucky to have them as my s/o, sunghoon thinks

your s/o is lucky to have you as well sunghoon.

kim sunoo

so kim sunoo with his love with mint choco

could never be me lol

so imagine him having a s/o that likes mint choco too

you guys were going out on a date

and both of you decided to eat ice cream for dessert

so when he heard that you ordered the same flavor, aka mint choco

pls the way he looked at you :((

sunoo felt like he was the happiest man on earth

that he got the best s/o in the world

since not a lot of people liked mint choco and some ppl judged him for liking mint choco

and lets say that he had one ex that disliked mint choco and was the reason why they broke up

shitty reason ik

and because of that, he was shocked that he found someone that liked mint choco like he does

pls ppl need to appreciate kim sunoo more :((

yang jungwon

so our leader

we know that jungwon has the love for cacti

and we know what happened to injang right?

rip injang btw

so you as his s/o

you wanted to give him a new cactus, as a gift

definitely not to replace injang, jk

so lets say the plants were places in his room

so when he walked in and he saw you there placing a new cactus and watering garden a bit

his heart just went

🥺💕🥺💓🥺💘

he literally gave you heart eyes while you talked about how you planned on getting him a new cactus

nishimura riki

our maknae-

our dancing prodigy—

anyways

both of you were in his parent’s dance studio

he thought you a new choreography that he did by himself

and you were struggling at first

but, after a couple of days

you finally mastered the full choreography

so of course, you had to show ni-ki

so you called him if you guys could go to their studio again,

because you wanted to show him something

so here you are preparing to show ni-ki the dance he thought you

while he sat in front of you, with his back against the mirror

and let me tell you that ni-ki does not know that you mastered the choreo already

so when you started dancing

pls when i tell you ni-ki staring at you with 😍 in his face

pls believe me

he never looked at someone that way

and he was so proud of you :((

so after you finished

oh boy, he immediately tackled you into a hug

buy me a coffee?

[2hoothoots]

Alright for question round 2 this one's a bit more cheesy but lmao what are the trio's love languages? 🥺🥺 I imagine it'd be easier for one of them to show affection physically rather than verbally but also like, how good are they at listening, do they give each other gifts etc, i just want to hear more of the domestic side of their lives lmao 💕💞

(also with every post you make i can feel myself gaining like 1 HP LOL they're just very good i care them)

this ask restored my mana and cleared all my status conditions. tysm for the opportunity i cannot wait to ramble at length about sappy shit

Raz:

I think his main love languages are acts of service and verbal affirmations? he really likes to do stuff for other people and it goes double for his s/os. super attentive boyfriend, he's always doing little stuff for the other two. do you need a glass of water? let me take care of the cooking tonight. oh, you look cold, take my jacket! he just really loves being able to take care of people and feel like he's helped them in some way, small or big.

and he's also really big on verbal declarations of love! he will talk the ear off anyone who'll listen about how great and cool and tough and sweet his boyfriend and girlfriend are. i think he gets really flustered when the affection is returned though, hahaha. they give him one (1) compliment and he's swooning like the protagonist in a cheap paperback romance

I also think he's a very cuddly person, but it's less of a way of showing he cares and more just like, he's a guy with very low physical boundaries. lots of casual hugs and leans and shoulder-touches. he will use anyone nearby as a pillow and he has a death grip in his sleep so if you catch him drifting off for a nap, Watch Out

Lili:

Lili is also a cuddler but for her it is a big deal, and a sign she really cares about someone. she's standoffish with most people but she's also one of those people who needs a lot of affirming physical touch? she's a bad bitch but she still wants someone to hold her and kiss her sweetly and play with her hair 😞🥺 so she's very very cuddly. she always wants to be pampered. please hold her hand and treat her gently

the other big thing for her is gift giving! she particularly likes handmade stuff, or growing plants for people. a coworker she's on good terms with will mention their garden's looking a little barren and the next day she comes in with a tray of hand-cultivated seedlings. she usually tries to play it off and be cool about it, but if she gets or makes you something it's a sign she really cares.

Dogen:

the big one for Dogen is quality time. he is always down to chill. he will always come with you to run errands or go to the aquarium or anything. he just loves spending time with his favourite people! it doesn't even have to be anything special, he can be like chilling in the same room as Lili or Raz and they're reading a comic and he's playing a video game but he really really loves that kind of parallel play, that comfortable silence and shared community. and he loves listening to the other two ramble/infodump about stuff they like, he thinks their passion and enthusiasm is really great

and i think the other big thing for him is also gift giving! he's not very good at expressing his feelings out loud, so gift-giving to him is the perfect medium to express them through instead because it gives him time to really think everything through and pick out the perfect thing. and even just small stuff - he'll pick up a couple avocados for Lili at the supermarket because it seems like she's having a bad day but he knows she really likes avocados, or he'll be like hey, Raz, i saw you clean your glasses on your turtleneck a lot but it leaves them kind of smeary so i got you these special cleaning cloths, here. he uses gifts to say what he can't with words :)

[matches-is-meow]

🐰 || hiya! i saw that you were doing bnha matchups and i wanted to jump at that opportunity so bad! and dw at all if its your first time doing them, i'm sure they'll turn out great! /gen :]

🌸 || im unlabeled but im attracted to pretty much whoever. but for this matchup i think i'd like a guy lolz! preferably from 1-A and no one out of high school becuz i see the pro heroes as more parental figures ( °`u´° )👍

🐰 || my myers briggs personality is right on the cusp of enfp and infp which is a little funky but i prefer infp i think! my enneagram is 2w3 too. im also a hufflepuff and my zodiac is leo!

🌸 || my personality is usually very happy, i'm a huge optimist and just kind of "puppy-like" so i've been told! i can be pretty funny and enjoy making my friends laugh! i'm a bit quiet at first, but if i think you're cool then i can open up very quickly. i've been called ditzy so many times its almost annoying. i'm probably always the last person to fall asleep at a sleepover because of how hyperactive i get at night! im called weird often because i get so hyperfixated on certain things and i know a shit ton of odd (or grisly) facts. i like a lot of weird media and figure out a way to tell people about them constantly. wanna hear about that truman show documentary i watched?? how about my herobrine experiences back in 4th and 5th grade?? maybe even a few facts about lemon sharks? i will be very excited if anyone listens to me ramble about random shit i saw on the internet. people are always like "why do you know this shit" and i shrug and pretend i didn't stay up all night studying the youtube algorithm just because i felt like it at the time.

🐰 || my looks differ from my personality quite a bit actually. i have a medium body type that's not really too chubby or too skinny, just in the middle? its doesn't bother me a whole lot but it used to. i'm short. like extremely short. around 4'9 - 4'10 because i havent grown since 6th grade haha. ive been to many doctors trying to see what my deal is LMAO. but back on my appearance, i have a wolfcut thats kinda messy and more of a shag at the moment because it hasnt been cut in a while, my bangs are dyed pink and blue and theyre kinda choppy across my forehead. my hair is shoulder length atm. i have peachy-pale skin because i can't tan and i have light but noticeable freckles on the bridge of my nose and a prominent freckle on my bottom left eyelid :D! i have gray blue eyes and a septum piercing. i dont like to wear a bunch of makeup because of the way it feels (i wish i didn't have sensory issues) so i stick with some eyeliner and mascara :]

🌸 || i mostly wear ripped mom jeans and lavender converse, along with whatever horror movie shirt i found in my closet. pretty much my entire wardrobe is based upon horror movies because thats all my shirts are! there's a few junji ito shirts that ive had for a while but i love them so much. hopefully guttergarbs won't sell out of the black christmas tshirts before i can snag a few 😫

🐰 || i love minecraft so much and its currently one of my biggest hyperfixations!!! ARGS are up there too, along with youtube and creepypasta! i have (not yet diagnosed) autism that i'm trying to get a diagnosis for and adhd so its kind of hard living a normal life? or what is normal by standard. i have moments where i go nonverbal and sometimes i can only focus on what new youtube videos are out today. i have a very hard time staying focused and my friends often have to tell me to do so. i have a favorite youtuber that gives me a lot of comfort and i watch his videos to ground me. my immediate response to bad stuff is youtube. its kind of childish, but it's just me.

🌸 || anyways, tysm for having these open and giving me the chance to send one in!!! i really just infodumped there lol sorry if i got carried away i was very excited! hope you're having a wonderful day/night and take good care of yourself!!!

- bo! 🐰🐰

Shawty. Honey. Sweetheart. Sugar. Flour. Milk, eggs, 2 teaspoons of salt- Thank you so much for this ask!!! You are the first person to throw themselves out into the shark infested water and I really want to thank you from the bottom of my heart! I honestly expected no body to respond... so this was an awesome surprise. Hope you enjoy your matchup!! YOUR MATCHUP IS...

Denki Kaminari!!!!! *Insert cheering noises*

Kaminari was kinda just playin when he started flirting with you and stuff, BUT MAN. Catching feels???? Not expected in the slightest.

At first it had been more of a challenge thing for him; flirt with the cute quiet chick, but after talking with you for a while you opened up and he realized how many interesting things you had to say.

Y'all became texting at 1 am friends pretty soon, with him sharing memes and you sharing YouTube recs (he thinks you have really good taste) And bonding over what an awesome director Stanley Kubrick is but what an awful dude he is irl, and that creepypasta you read last night that you JUST HAVE TO SHARE BC DENKI WE ARE KEEPING THE NEXT STEPHEN KINGS IN THIS FANDOM I SWEAR-

When y'all start dating, he is just, so understanding of any times you go nonverbal or when you just aren't feeling up to life at the moment. He gets it. He will ask at the beginning of the relationship so he will know what to do if you're nonverbal at the moment and will follow your request through to a tee.

Sorry. So sorry, bc Kaminari has 14 different short jokes saved at any given moment, for any given situation. Totally gives head pats. oh yes get ready to be patted and to be the elbow rest.

HORRID HABIT of kissing your freckle. He thinks its adorable. (Thinks you're adorable-)

Thinks your cool!!! Soooooo cool. How much information can you fit in your brain????? THAT MUCH???????? OH MY GOD THAT IS SO COOL TELL ME ABOUT THE HISTORY OF TETRIS AGAIN

Not to be spicy.... but like... he honestly thinks your piercing and dyed hair is so sexy. Like. And he is not afraid to tell you too.

"..." "Denki?" "You look hot." "Uh... Thanks? Why'd you say that?" "Cause you look hot duh"

"Thank you????? love you???"

just showers you in love. And if you get harrassed or get called annoying, may god/jesus/allah/oprah/beyonce have mercy on their souls because Kaminari can and will vibe check them out of this plane of existence.

ughhh yall are so in love, get away from me people with happy relatonships eww

Thanks again for this, it was a whole lot of fun!!! Hope you like pikachu over here, thought you guys would mesh really well. :D

[ranboo5]

When did the food thing and the steak thing happen in the lore? I don’t quite remember, but your take on it and it’s relation to power sounds interesting. Would you mind talking more about it?

I would not mind tysm for asking!!!!

I am referencing this take, which is a ramble about the emergent themes of power on the DSMP symbolized with food. It's, again, emergent, and I think very like,,, literally like it just happens this way , and when it's used as an Image it's an extremely obvious one. But the DSMP ends up using it to extremely good effect even if it's a rather Has Been Done Before affair

Functionally (and this is both like again just a literal manifestation of and cause of a power dynamic in a mechanical sense and also like an extremely easy image in a metaphor sense) power and determination is tied to who gets to eat, and when, and how, and of what

And so we come to these bits which again I think are themselves probably offhand comments BUT they both work extremely well in this context and as examples of the socialmeta

The first is from Ranboo and Technoblade's first proper conversation, On December 16th, when Ranboo shows up post-Butcher Army. Ranboo has just been part of an attempt to kill Techno. Techno has just in extremely clearly laid out terms gotten Ranboo to return his armor all but literally at swordpoint. But here mid conversation extremely casually (the clarity of the terms I think genuinely does help there's an aspect of If He Was Threatening Me He'd Just Threaten Me) Ranboo asks for some food (I do not think he gets an established source of his own until the commune which is a whole other layer)

Techno obliges and gives him several golden carrots for being a polite guest

Techno's very like... I don't even know if specifically fair is the right word here but unambiguous? Un-game-y attitude is very clear here he has no direct beef with Ranboo as soon as Ranboo stops attempting to kill him and he has no reason to not give him what he asks for. Ranboo meanwhile has banked on his affability and the casuality of the situation and gotten himself something useful (this is why I hate the idea that Dream wrote the lessons. Ranboo hs been living by these fucking things since day one this is just how he operates), and it's specifically a symbol of having some form of power/agency. This is extremely takeable as both important setup for their ensuing arcs and as by itself just very good character moments – Techno's methodical sorting out of the world and how to treat people, Ranboo's opportunism and ability to stay alive and how tied it is to his ability to throw and not be seen as a threat, the effective functional communication, the way they are both notably functional and amenable to cooperating and being fair even after being in situations where the actual risk of murder was not off the table

The second, meanwhile, happens near the end of it all. When Sam comes to Ranboo's place to arrest him, he confiscates its armor and iirc most of its items (any of ghe rest would have been gotten at the prison anyway so). Ranboo, of course, does not raise alarms. It is polite and compliant, and it's got a history with Sam at this point that it tries to bank on the built goodwill from. It then asks, while giving up its items with no great struggle, if it can at least keep its steak. Sam considers this and then says sure, because he doesn't want it slowing him down.

This is such a moment ever it's one of the most sharp and direct moments of Ranboo specifically throwing to not lose, complying and managing through that to get to hang on to some ground, to a stack of food, to a little bit of agency. It's under the conditions of his captor, sure, but that too is a part of the socialmeta – the subtext here ends up reading as Ranboo managing to pass off keeping some functional wiggle room as something convenient to the powers that be! Literal actual "I'm just a little guy and I should be given a little freedom for your convenience"! Actual yes man behavior!!!

Anyway in summary: Ranboo is so fucking good at staying alive, and at hanging on to whatever fucking scraps of self determination he can, and these are excellent examples thereof that only get stronger when you consider food as a metaphor in that capacity

[haikyuu-appreciation-club]

Since it’s spooky season could I request how bokuto, kuroo, ushijima and iwa would react to their s/o wanting to do a couples costume with them? Tysm!💖

hi anon!! tysm for this adorable request :)

I hope you don’t mind but I did how they would react to couples costumes and what you guys would do on halloween night since I wanted some length 

I wanted to squeeze this in before spooky season came to a close soooo I may or may not have put everything on pause for this hehe

I really hope you enjoy <3

(say thank you to anon for spooky season request) [¬º-°]¬ 

•Couples Costumes w/ Bokuto, Kuroo, Ushijima, + Iwaizumi•

warnings: like one cuss word

genre: fluff

characters: bokuto, kuroo, ushijima, + iwaizumi

•Bokuto•

when you brought up the idea to do a couples costume, bokuto was over the moon

 with his playful nature, halloween was obviously one of his favorite holidays and being able to spend it with the person he loved made it ten times better

he was glad you were the type of person to want to go out and do things on halloween, considering many people your age had given up on the idea of halloween a long time ago

he already had a few ideas of what you two could do for a costume and so did you so after bouncing ideas off of each other, you two decided on something cute but more on the childish side 

days leading up to halloween, bokuto would not shut up about how excited he was

to be honest, you found it absolutely adorable and you were pretty excited yourself so you didn't mind his rambling one bit

on the day of, bokuto and you got dressed up, grabbed some pillow cases, and ran out the door to go trick or treating

as you two ran from door to door you laughed and talked with one another, sneaking some candy you were supposed to be saving for later as you went

some parents gave you strange looks but you couldn't care less

all you were focused on in that moment was how much fun you were having with your boyfriend

having bokuto by your side made you feel just like a little kid again

he brought back the excitement and fun of halloween that had seemed to fade over the years

by the end of the night, you two had stayed out trick or treating until every house light was diminished 

once you two got back to bokuto’s house, you poured both of your candy out on the floor and sorted them out 

as you both ate candy, you shared stories of past halloweens and recalled memories from the current night

the next morning you two woke up with the worst stomach aches imaginable and stayed in bed and cuddled throughout the entirety of the day

it was safe to say that that halloween was definitely one to remember

•Kuroo•

kuroo loved the halloween season so when you brought up couple costumes he was all for it

however, he would only agree to dress up with you if you would fulfill his halloween request in return

it was simple really, he had been dying to take you to a haunted house during this time of year, so all you had to do was agree

this wasn't exactly your ideal situation for halloween but none the less, you told him you'd go with him

there was no way you were going to throw away the opportunity of doing a couples costume with your boyfriend 

for the occasion, you two went with a scary theme for your couple costume

days leading up to halloween, kuroo would “try to get you in the mood” by coming up behind you and scaring you any chance he got

he would then tease you when you fell for his tricks

at least when you two actually got to the haunted house you were a little prepared for what was to come thanks to kuroo and his shitty scare tactics

you were still gripping onto his arm for dear life throughout the entirety of it despite that

kuroo had enjoyed watching you yelp and jump in fear but by the end of it he didn’t think you had as much fun as him and he sure as hell wasn't ready for this night to be over

“Hey, Y/N?”

“Yeah Kuroo?”

“Wanna do one more thing before we call it a night?”

“If you drag me to another haunted house I will kill you.”

“Promise it’s not that, just get in the car and you’ll see.”

“Okay. i’m trusting you, don't mess this up.”

“You can count on me babe.”

you two got in the car and drove in the direction of god knows where

the longer you drove the more you started to realize the area

you and kuroo would come around here often to visit bokuto and akaashi, but why were you going in this direction now?

kuroo pulled into a dollar store a few minutes later,

“Okay, here’s the plan. On the count of three, we run into that store and grab every pack of toilet paper in sight. Ready?”

you didn't know what was happening but you knew it was always better to go along with whatever kuroo suggested so on the third count, you two sprinted into the store 

you began to realize what your boyfriend had in mind once you pulled into bokuto’s driveway

“Are we really going to-”

“You read my mind Y/N.”

You two spent the rest of the night running around Bokuto’s yard, throwing toilet paper over everything in sight

even though your relationship was full of surprises, you wouldn’t have it any other way and this halloween night was no exception

•Ushijima•

ushijima was confused to say the least

he honestly didn’t even know why you still wanted to celebrate halloween, that was a holiday for children and their parents

you both were neither children nor parents

it took you a while to explain what people your age did for the holiday but after you did he finally understood and agreed to dress up with you

it was pretty difficult to come up with a costume for the both of you 

mainly due to the fact that whenever you would give him ideas of what you two could do, he would just nod and hum in consideration

basically it was up to you to make a decision for the both of you since you couldn't exactly figure out where he stood on each of the costumes you suggested

you decided to go with something simple but cute, seeming this was the first time since childhood that ushijima would be dressing up and you didn't want to overwhelm him

when halloween night rolled around, you two had decided on dressing up and staying at your house to pass out candy while watching some halloween movies

you knew that your boyfriend definitely wasn't a party goer and probably would not enjoy walking around to different strangers houses so this seemed like a perfect solution

throughout the night the movie became background noise as more and more children rang the doorbell of your home to ask for candy

you didn't fail to notice the faint smile sketched on ushijima’s face as he studied the children’s costumes with amusement, dropping a few extra pieces of candy into each bag just to watch the smiles on their faces grow

you felt your heart grow warmer and warmer throughout the night until all the candy in the bowl had been given away

you two turned out all the lights, letting people outside know that you were no longer giving out treats

the only thing illuminating the room was the T.V.

as you two sat down on the couch and returned to the movie you snuggled up next to your boyfriend hearing his voice fill the room,

“I would not mind having kids when we are grown. Maybe we could dress them up and take them out too.”

you smiled to yourself, 

“I would love that Ushi”

•Iwaizumi•

Iwaizumi thought the idea of a couples costume was pretty cheesy to be honest

but you seemed so excited at the idea of dressing up together that he couldn’t refuse

the idea ended up growing on him after you had shown him a few of the ideas you had in mind

you two decided to go with something more mature and neat, allowing to fulfill your wishes without achieving something that Iwaizumi would cringe at

Iwa didn’t usually do anything on halloween unless Oikawa dragged him to an event that the popular captain had been invited to

this year however, tooru had been appointed the job of taking his nephew out trick or treating so Iwa was free to spend the holiday with you, uninterrupted by his third wheel of a best friend 

although he didn’t let it show too much, he was really excited to be able to do something with you halloween night

you didn't think Iwaizumi wanted to go trick or treating but you weren't going to let him stay at home like an old man, so naturally you had to drag him out to have some fun

and what better way to have fun than a halloween party?

Iwaizumi wasn't too fond of parties but he always seemed to have the best time with you so he didn't mind going

throughout the night you two stayed with each other, ignoring the other people around you

you talked, laughed, and snacked on candy from bowls that were scattered around the room

as the night dragged on, people talking and music blasting mixed with the sound of Iwaizumi’s heartbeat as you rested your head on his chest

you began to grow tired and tugged on Iwaizumi’s shirt signaling you were ready to go

he smiled down at your sleepy figure and grabbed your hand, guiding you to the car

as you drove you noticed Iwaizumi wasn't going in the direction of his house but you figured he was just taking a back road or something so you decided to close your eyes and enjoy the drive

you woke up to the smell of something savory, causing you to open your eyes,

“Where are we babe?”

“Figured you would be hungry when you woke up so I stopped to get food before we got home.”

You smiled as he intertwined his fingers with yours

“Thank you for tonight Iwa, I had fun.”

“I did too Y/N.”

“I love you.”

“I love you more.”

20 otp question

Tagged by darlings @spicevalleys, @minilev & @xbaebsae for the 20 OTP questions, tysm!

Me: they're not that deep! Also me: rambles on about them so much I have to put it under a cut 🙈 They're my comfort stress relief babies ❤️

1) who can outdrink the other?

Al's gets stupid drunk quite easily, so she's a bit reserved about indulging in alcohol, especially in social situations. Past stupid decisions while under influence play a part, plus in her academy days she had a strict policy of not touching the stuff.

Sharky on the other hand is probably the kind of guy that drinks beer for breakfast, so he takes the title, without doubt.

2) who says “i love you” more?

Oh they do the delicious cliche angsty stuff where neither of them dares say the words. Sharky's so used to disappointment that he's constantly nagged by the feeling that maybe Al's just in it for the good times, and he doesn't wanna look like a fool by telling he loves her. Al on the other hand is just so terrified of Sharky getting hurt or worse that she doesn't wanna jinx it by making it real. Maybe Al utters it once, casually, like a throwaway "I love you so f*ing much", but it's not much of a moment. Sharky heard it, though c:

3) who has trouble sleeping alone?

Not really an issue, though Sharky probably spends more time thinking of Dep when she's not around than vice versa. When Dep's alone during the game's events and has the opportunity to crash she's usually just out cold in minutes.

4) who swears more?

Sharky has casual cussing built into his vernacular, while Al keeps it pent up and occasionally blurts out a heartfelt fuck or motherfucker, but stakes need to be pretty high before she does.

5) who does more of the housework?

They never reach that level of domesticity, and Al has no intention of intervening in Sharky's personal space...

6) who forgets their anniversary?

They never make it even a full year due to... nuclear complications ☹️

7) who steals the duvet in their sleep?

Sharky for sure.

8) who keeps the other awake at night with their snoring?

Waking up early before Sharky and watching him snore absolutely melts Al's heart.

9) who finds stray animals and begs the other to let them keep them?

Sharky. Al loves animals, but having a pet cougar moseying about in combat situations is absolutely irresponsible if you ask her, for the sake of all parties involved.

10) who usually makes dinner?

During their time together they eat what they can get, so not much of a dinner situation. They're both probably more of the take away type anyways.

11) who plays their music out loud?

Sharky is the music guy, obviously, but Al loves blasting the local radio station while burning rubber on the Hope County roads.

12) who hogs the bathroom?

Okay so hc that Sharky actually has decent personal hygiene because come on. Al is relatively practical and low maintenance herself; she used to have some extensive body skin care routines and spends time untangling her hair but nothing more fancy than that. Sharky's trailer bathroom door is never locked (if it even has a lock. Or door 🤔)

13) who gives the most compliments?

They're not overly flowery or even that verbal in expressing their affection, but they'll do the occasional straight observational compliment like, you got pretty eyes, or, I love your this or that.

14) who usually starts/causes arguments between them?

Do they ever even really fight during those few months? Times are crazy, so maybe there's some stress-induced, misdirected squabble over petty things, but nothing severe. Maybe the most heated argument is when Al needs to make it clear she wasn't sneaking out because she regretted the night before, but because shes heading to the Whitetail region to finish off Jacob and she can't have Sharky there with her.

15) who isn’t afraid to embarrass the other in public?

They both have no idea what you're talking about

16) who gives the other cringeworthy pet names?

Oh man, I lack the creativity to come up with good ones but I'm sure Sharky has the best arsenal of silly nicknames for Al. She wrinkles her nose at most of them, but her heart secretly jumps whenever he calls her Allie.

17) who fusses over the other when they get sick?

They get tossed around a bit in Peggie confrontations, but they never really see each other seriously wounded. Even after Jacob's episode, when Al's at her worst physically and mentally, they don't meet up until a week and a half or so later.

18) who finds it impossible to stay angry at the other for long?

Both. They both have squirrel brains and just aren't disposed to holding grudges or mulling in conflict.

19) who clings to the other for comfort when they’re sad or scared?

They're there for each other, always, maybe overall Sharky is a bit more tuned into Al's state of mind than the other way round.

20) who is more ‘physically passionate’? (hugs, kisses, or maybe more…)

They're both equally impulsive and passionate about jumping each other, but in general they're not that touchy feely when going about their daily business.

Boy Meets Girl. (Roger Taylor x Reader)

Summary: “So you’re saying, boy meets girl, boy and girl fall in love, boy and girl meet other people, boy and girl break up with other people...”

Words: 2,161

Notes: mostly fluff, pinch of angst, swear words yes.

A/N: hi ily all and thanks for taking some time out of your day to read this hope you like it have good daaay.. also tysm @rogerscupboard ily sorry ok bye

~~~~~~~~~

It was in University, when you had first met Roger Taylor. When the name Roger Taylor usually came into one’s mind, you’d usually think that you met in the most unconventional way, but it was quite the opposite. You were in one of your biology classes when you were assigned to write an essay with him. You both worked pretty well together, dividing the workloads easily and getting great results, however you didn’t really talk. Rog seemed like a really busy guy.  You would show each other what you had done and revise, but you never really got to know each other over the dozens of projects you had done together.

Like any other girl, you thought he was cute, but you didn’t quite know him enough to fall head over heels.

You’d introduce yourselves formally when you were at one of Smile’s shows and Roger noticed you in the crowd. After the show, he approach you, offering to buy you a drink. You just laughed.

“So this was what you were so busy with.”

You told him how good he was and how he hadn’t bothered to tell you of his amazing skills. You both rambled aimlessly about the most random things; You enjoyed each other’s company. His ego definitely inflated after that night and he decided he would talk to you more often. You didn’t realize more often would be mean he’d be calling you at different points of the day just to ask how you were. You’d both exchange wild or boring stories about the day, listening intently on one another.

It had gotten to the point where you’d be going to bars every other night to support him, Tim, and Brian, who you’ve gotten to know through Roger. After every show, he made it a point to talk to you before going on his own escapades, whether it be about the weather, the show or musical opinions. You weren’t a rockstar like Rog, but you loved your fair share of music, particularly theirs. There was something about his passion that astonished you, there was something about him that astonished you.

One night you were waiting for Roger by the exit, you saw the three bandmates fighting and Tim walking out. It was then a man with a flamboyant aura asked you were the band had gone and you pointed in their direction informing him of what had just happened. He just smiled and told you he was going to see them. You saw him walk to Rog and Bri, watching history start to unfold. Freddie Mercury had become a new addition to the band and they searched for the bassist who would be John Deacon. The era of queen had begun.

You, Brian, Freddie and John had gotten along well as you were somewhat their mediator who’d not only settle quarrels, but also remind them that they are humans who need rest. You and Roger became increasingly close, some may say too close.

You had even accompanied him and the band to the Ridge farm where things got quite heated amongst the members. You had to threaten Roger that you would leave the farm if he didn’t come out of the cupboard, even though he had still gotten “I’m in Love With My Car” on the b-side of bohemian rhapsody.

“Bri, where’s Roger?” You asked peeking out from the doorway.

“He was being a twat and locked himself in the cupboard.”

He fucking what.

You knew he was a drama queen, but this was beyond that. You sighed, pinching the bridge of your nose. “What exactly transpired while I was gone?”

Freddie raised his hand excitedly. You nodded in his direction, giving him the go signal to explain.

“He wanted to put his song about fucking his car in the album and we said no, so he threw bacon at Bri, threatened to break a coffee machine and marched into the cupboard.” Freddie took a sip of tea, feeling proud of his explanation. You rubbed your temple as you were getting a headache from the amount of stress these boys were giving you.

“Can’t you guys just let him have his.. Love song?” It came out more as a question rather than the demand you wanted. John then started read out one of the lyrics of the song.

“With my hand on your grease gun...Mmm, it's like a disease, son.” He looked up at you, raising an eyebrow.

“Okay, fine maybe it’s a bit-”

“A lot.”

“OKAY. A lot weird, just give in to him this once.” You pleaded.

“Fine, if it’ll get him to help out for the rest of the day.” Brian rolled his eyes whilst folding his arms. You hugged Brian tight and kissed him on the cheek.

“Thank you, thank you, I love you all!” You said before heading to the cupboard. You knocked and heard muffled movements before a voice broke through. “Piss off, Fred!!”

“Roger, it’s me, Y/N. I got them to put it on the B-side, now will you please come out.” You sitting against the cupboard.

“ But Y/N! They made fun of meee!” Roger whined like a small child. You were absolutely done with this shit. You stood and up dusted your pants before announcing.

“ROGER MEDDOWS TAYLOR IF YOU DON’T COME OUT IN TEN SECONDS, I AM LEAVING THE BARN.”

As if almost on cue, Roger exited the cupboard. He looked like he had been there for hours, the determination of this man was scary.

“Now, go and apologize to your bandmates.”

“But-”

You gave him a stern death glare, before he finally complied and went off into the next room. You sighed.

He may be in love with his car, but I’m in love with a stubborn fucking dumbass.

You almost seemed like an old married couple at that point. In fact, that was all you ever wished, before you both got swept away by different people.Mary had set you up with a man by the name of Alex in the name of you needing to either get with Roger or find somebody to love. You loved Alex; He was attractive, charming and chivalrous. He pretty much had the opposite of Roger’s personality.

You’d both go out for dinner at least once a week and you’d plan fun activities. One time, you had both gone to the aquarium and explored the whole day. He was good, but boring.  He couldn’t quite fill that void that you had devoted to Roger, but he loved you so it would suffice, right?

You and Roger continued being best of friends, but time between you two seemed to lessen. It seemed that he had also found someone and she took a significant amount of his time. You hated it. You fell in love with the wrong person and now it’s too late.

It was now the end of one of Queen’s tour and Freddie had invited you to a massive celebration. You decided to go with Alex, seeing it as an opportunity to introduce him to the band. By the time you arrived, the party was in full swing and there were people of all different walks of life. It was mesmerizing to see such a grandiose delight of sparkling lights and a variety of colours.

You saw Fred standing in the middle of it, being an absolute social butterfly. You took Alex’s hand and guided him towards freddie. Freddie’s eyes lit up as he saw you; he made his way towards you, excusing himself from the conversation.

“Y/N! It is so wonderfully great to see you!”

He embraced you almost instantly, completely ignoring the man you had brought along.

“I’ve missed you too, Fred! This is Alex, he’s my boyfriend and he works in marketing.”

Alex held out a hand however his eyes did not seem to meet Fred’s as he was preoccupied with something else. Freddie shook let go of you and shook your boyfriend’s hand. He looked at you in disbelief before whispering into your ear.

“I don’t like him, he seems boring.”

You just playfully punch his shoulder even though you knew he was right. Alex suddenly looks at you both and before looking back at you. “Hey Y/N, you want me to get you a drink?” He asked. You nodded and he went off on his own adventure.

“Now that the bore is gone”

“Fred!!”

“Okay, okay! Brian and John were looking forward to seeing you by the way.” He pointed to a lounge area where you could see Bri and Deacy enjoying some champagne.

“I’ll be sure to visit them, but have you seen Rog?” You asked, concerned.

“I saw him come in, but I haven’t seen him since.” Fred replied looking apologetic.

“I guess I have a mission then.” You spoke proudly with a smile. You really wanted to make up lost time with Roger so the first thing on your agenda was to find him.

“Just don’t go snogging in my room.” Freddie warned jokingly before being whisked away by the crowd. You rolled your eyes at his implications. You couldn’t imagine you and roger in a steamy make out session, not anymore at least. You went up to Bri and Deacy, making some small talk before asking where they could’ve seen Roger. Neither of them knew so you decided to do some more searching for yourself.

You were opening random doors to find people, smoking, doing drugs and most importantly making out. You immediately shut the door on every single one, but one in particular caught your eye.

You had opened the door to see Alex making out with some nude girl in a very compromising position. You jaw hung open as they hadn’t even noticed you. It was disgusting to say the least.

“I guess now I know what you were staring at.” You spat. Alex looked you in the eye and still chose to continue. You rolled your eyes and slammed the door shut.

You weren’t about to cry; you were feeling a different emotion. You were filled with rage. He didn’t even bother to go after you and explain so you decided to deem your relationship over.

You ran over to the curtains that covered the balcony and opened them, as you stepped out into the night sky. You took a deep breath, composing yourself before a voice from behind you caught you off guard.

“Y/N.”

You almost jumped, as you turned around to see the man you had been looking for, Roger.

“Roger.”

You both looked at each other. His eyes were puffy and you could smell the nicotine from him a mile away. He looked deeply hurt. You inched closer to him, cupping his cheek.

“What are you doing here, love?” You stroked his cheek trying to comfort him.

“I’ve been thinking about you for nights, Y/N” He started, speaking softly.

“I only ever wanted to be with you, but I lost sight.”

“What about-”

“We broke it off weeks ago.” You removed your hand from his cheek, listening to him closely.

“I wanted to tell you before, but you got with Alex and he makes you so happy. It hurts knowing I can’t hold you close and call you mine. I want to treat you like a queen, and wake you up with an abundance of kisses so that you’ll know how much I love you. I wish you were mine, Y/N.” He throws his cigarette in frustration, thinking that he has absolutely no chance with you. He looked down in grief.

You quietly laugh at his anger before speaking. “Roger, I just caught Alex kissing another girl. He looked me in the eye and he didn’t even have the balls to go after me.” You put your hand around his neck.

“Anyways, I’ve loved since forever too.”

His eyes lit up like the sun as he looked back up.

“Really?” He said excitedly. You simply nodded in response.

“So you’re saying, boy meets girl, boy and girl fall in love, boy and girl meet other people, boy and girl break up with other people…” He pauses staring off into the distance.

“Now what?” He asks, genuinely confused.

“This.” You say before closing the gap between you two.

His lips reek of cigarettes and alcohol, but it somehow gave you a sense of home. It was as if for the first time in forever, you loved someone as much as they loved you. It was more than satisfying, It was unbelievable. You wanted to frame this moment and relive it over and over again. Feeling your soft lips against his, Roger couldn’t describe any of the sensations he was feeling. Joy? Triumphant? Proud? These words couldn’t justify the amount of happiness you gave him. You were indescribable.

You both finally pulled away after god knows how long.

“I love you.”

“Love can’t even begin to describe it.”

Protons and Electrons

Title: Protons and Electrons Author: totalfanfreak Rating: T Prompt/Summary: None Main Character(s): Spencer Reid/ Reader, Derek Morgan, Penelope Garcia Trigger Warning: Nada Word Count: over 1100 Beta/Editor: Me Multishot: Maybe 1 of 2 Author’s Notes: Naw Morgan arc spoilers?: A lil bit

[This was requested by anon -  Could you write one where the reader is like a total baddass?! Like, leather jacket, cocky confident attitude, and best friends with Morgan? So, can Spencer try to be cool like the reader to get their attention, but fails miserably by being awkward nervous Spencer, but the reader loves that about him and they ask him out? Brownie points for super duper cutesy dorky Reid? TYSM!!!!! – I hope I did all right…”]

“The reason as to why we are attracted to our opposites is because they are our salvation from the burden of being ourselves.”  ― Kamand Kojouri

“Hey, pretty boy, I’m actually free to go out tonight, you coming?”

Spencer couldn’t help but be a little skeptical by the invitation.

“Where exactly are you planning to go?”

“Dive bar near Reston, come on man, everyone’s going.”

“I don’t know, bars aren’t really my thing.”

“Look, Reid, I love my son more than anything in this world, but I need some adult conversation tonight. Hell, spout off about proton charges for all I care.”

“Protons can’t actually charge without an electron to –“

“Yeah, all of that, save it for tonight.”

“Morgan, I’m not sure –“

“Is boy wonder putting up a fight?”

“He sure is mama, I come in to visit with all my loved ones, and this one here passes up the opportunity to catch up.”

Spencer couldn’t help, but falter on that. “That’s not it at all, I’m only saying that the location isn’t ideal. There’s more violence in those types of bars than one with a restaurant setting. Did you know a study was shown that –“

“Yeah, yeah, but I think what chocolate thunder forgot to mention was who else would be there.”

Morgan grinned at that, the mischievous spark coming to light. “Oh, I think I did.”

Spencer looked back and forth between them. “What do you mean? I thought you invited the team.”

“I did, but my sweet honey glaze has drove down here to meet up, figured we’d all hang out tonight and let her see Hank and the little woman tomorrow.”

Spencer’s brows knotted in confusion, not entirely sure who Morgan was describing.

“Y/N, Reid, you know the one you made goo-goo eyes at during the Christmas party last year.”

“I did not!”

“Oh, so you were weirded out by her, cause that’s what she thought.”

“No! That’s not it either. I have no reason to think she’s weird.”

And he didn’t, honestly he had been captivated by you. The way you carried yourself with self-confidence, so sure, yet with the warmest smile he had ever seen. It hadn’t mattered that half your head was shaved, didn’t matter that the part unshaved was dyed a startling shade of red, or that your tight clothing was mostly made of leather, and it didn’t matter that you’d set off metal detectors a mile away from how many piercings you had; the way you laughed and made people laughed, wanting to help so everyone could enjoy the party, how you listened and enjoyed his and everyone’s company, that’s what mattered. But he knew you’d never see him, not the way he wanted you too. No, like so many others you’d see him as dorky Spencer Reid, proven genius and all around mess.

“Are you even listening anymore?”

His eyes came back into focus. “What?”

“Oh, thinking about your lady?”

“She isn’t my lady, Garcia, it’s not like she’d ever be interested in me anyways.”

“Now that’s not true, you’re a marvelous upon marvelous specimen of man, but, well, maybe if you gussied up differently it’d catch her eye.”

“What do you mean?”

“Come on, you’ve seen her, maybe something of cow hide would be more beneficial.”

“Reid in leather? Dear Lord, mama, what’s the matter with you? Just be yourself, except, you know, talk to her. Don’t hide.”

“I’m not saying to not be him, just he needs something to get her interested.”

“He’s not a peacock, he just needs to be himself, Y/N might be crazy as hell but she has a good heart and she likes that in other people. Just do you, Reid.”

Garcia rolled her eyes, exasperated, but was halted when Spencer started gathering his things.

“I’ve got to go, I’ll meet you guys there.”

“So you’re coming then? All right, pretty boy! I’ll text you the address.”

Spencer gave an offhand wave and went home.

Maybe he should try to be a little different, you didn’t know much about him, only a fleeting moment in time. A first impression could always be wrong. This could be his chance to be someone else, not be the clumsy, awkward know-it-all and be the guy people are drawn to. Rifling through his closet, he couldn’t help the depleted sense of his wardrobe, he had nothing that someone would think was cool. Cardigans and slacks taking up most of the space, but in the back he was able to find an old leather bomber jacket. He couldn’t even recall where he got it, and with his memory that fact startled him. He didn’t have jeans and he didn’t have boots but he did have his converses, the worn pair a comfort to him which he hoped would increase his confidence tonight. Fixing his hair the best he could he looked at the addressed to get to the bar.

‘It’s now or never, Reid.’

The place was dirtier than he would have liked, floor covered in peanut shells and sawdust, the tables and stools worn, the leather chipping away as rusted coated the frames, but in a way it was homey. The patrons looking as if they had just got off work and decided to catch up with friends.

“Pretty boy!”

‘Why does he have to call me that in front of everyone, it’s endearing when it’s the team but with –‘

“You made it I see and you had yourself a little costume change.”

Sitting beside Morgan he could see you, that same warm smile adorning yourself, your lips still puckered in a way that let he know you had been laughing at something before.

“Hi, Y/N.”

“Hi, Spencer…it is okay if I call you that right, I can call you Reid if you want.”

“No! It’s fine I mean, I’d prefer it. So where is everyone?”

“JJ and Garcia are on their way, the boys were giving JJ trouble didn’t help that baby girl was there, she’d let them rule that house if she was allowed to.”

Thinking of their roles as godparents he couldn’t help but smile, yeah, the boys seemed to have a way to tug their hearts to fit them.

“Do you spoil them too, Spencer?”

“He spoils them with knowledge.”

Spencer watched you arch your brows up and nod.

“I like being there for them, all of them, including Hank.”

“I bet you’re good at it.”

“I try to be, I mean, when there’s time for it.”

He didn’t know if this conversation was going right, she was paying attention to him but he wanted her to see him as cool, an equal, but gushing over his godchildren probably wasn’t going to get them there.

“So, Y/N, did you drive your bike here?”

Watching you sip your beer he waited as you nodded. “Yep, why, would you like a ride?”

“Oh, you shouldn’t drive when you drink, people with even a slight buzz raise the risk of fatalities to forty-five percent and without the exterior a car gives a motorcycle may –“

He’s rambling, damn it, he didn’t mean to, but she’s smiling a quirk of one but it was still something.

“Maybe we can share a cab tonight and you can drive me to Derek’s on it tomorrow?”

“Um.”

“Reid on a motorcycle, you know I never pictured him in leather and he looks halfway decent, hell maybe he’ll be doing wheelies in the parking lot.”

He knew the jacket would be a bad idea. “Shut up, Morgan.”

Your giggled made him flush even more. “Ignore him, Spencer, have a drink with us, since I’m out with cops tonight and have to take a cab I’ll be having me some tequila.”

Observing the effortless way you drank and sucked the lime, he couldn’t help but think he could do it too.

“I’ll have one as well, please.”

He tried to ignore the smirk on Morgan’s face as the bartender poured his shot.

“Sure you can handle that, Reid.”

His lips wanted to pout in trying to keep from blurting obscenities.

“Here, Spencer, you just lick the salt, drink it back, and suck the lime. It takes practice to do it quick.”

Doing as instructed, he lapped the salt, wishing he had washed his hands first and then tipped his head and glass back, choking as the fiery liquid hit his esophagus. The remaining liquid in his mouth sputtered and he felt your hand patting his back in trying to quell the coughs.

“Can we get some water over here please?”

He blushed, this wasn’t going the way he wanted it to at all, he was looking like a bigger dork than usual.

“I would say suck on the lime, but I don’t know if that’d help or not.”

He shook his head at you, no the acidity would not help him right now. His cheeks and throat were burning.

“Maybe we could play some pool until the others get here.”

Morgan shook his head. “I think I’ll pass, the way genius here is he’ll take you for everything you have.”

You shrugged. “Perhaps I just have more confidence in my playing skills than you do.”

“Your money, Y/N. Hey, pretty boy, why don’t you tell her about that proton charging while you’re at it over there.”

He felt you lightly grasp his shoulder steering him to the table.

“I hope you don’t let him get to you.”

“I don’t, not all the time anyways, I just wish he wouldn’t treat me like a kid sometimes.”

“I wouldn’t say a kid, more like a younger brother. So, you good as he says?”

“Um, a little bit, pool’s mostly geometry and –“

“I’ll take your word for it, we don’t have to play for money then, I’ll need some to make it home. But we could play for a prize.”

His eyes searched your face. “What kind of prize?”

You smiled, mischievous. “Whatever we want.”

“W-what?”

“Whatever I want if I win, whatever you want if you win. Except money or my bike.”

“What about a ride on it?”

“We can do that.”

“And if I want something else?”

You smiled, his heart palpitating. “We can do that too.”

He already knew he was going to win, he’d played enough games of pool in school to know that. The older students thinking they could out best a kid, well, at least there he was able to show them. Though it didn’t stop them from beating him up, claiming he cheated. He was about to shoot…

“Play hard, Reid!”

He scratched.

Oh, God, now everyone was here now. He wished they wouldn’t give him a hard time, and for once, his prayers seemed answered, after the girls kissed each other’s cheeks in greeting they fled to the bar, letting Morgan pick up the tab. But he knew they were watching and he couldn’t shake that.

“Spencer, it’s okay, you can go again.”

“No, it’s –“

“You were distracted that’s fine, let yourself get into your zone, it’ll be okay.”

It was sinking ball after ball but you had kept up and he only needed the eight to win.

“So what was the deal with protons?”

“Oh, Morgan was just being…Morgan earlier.”

You laughed. “Isn’t he always?”

He couldn’t help but laugh as well. “Yeah he is.”

“But what about them.”

“He was thinking protons charge on their own they don’t.”

Missed, if you missed he could still sink it, the angle was perfect for it now.

“So how do they charge?”

“Um, it takes an electron to, I guess you’d say, engulf it so it can charge.”

You smirked. “Is that when they say opposites attract?”

He smiled. “Very much so.”

The smile fell when you sank the eight.

“Yes! I can’t believe I won.”

There went his chance. Anything he wanted. One date, one kiss. Now nothing. “Yeah.”

“Don’t be a sore loser, it was luck at the end, though skill was there throughout.”

“I’m not being sore, I wanted to win though.”

“I’ll still let you drive my bike tomorrow.”

He shook his head, he knew he was being irrational, but he felt defeated as if some source of fate came in and struck him down. “Could I have my prize now, Spencer?”

He shrugged. “Sure.”

“Are you?”

He nodded.

Standing on tiptoe he almost pulled away when he felt your lips on his. He could hear cheering from the bar but the velvet he felt was stifling the noise.

“What was that?”

You shrugged. “My prize. I’ve been wanting to kiss you since the party, and this seemed like the best tactic. You’re not mad are you?”

Since the Christmas party? “No, I’m not mad, confused, you wanted to kiss me?”

“Of course, why wouldn’t I?”

“Well, I’m me and you’re you.”

“You’ll have to explain that one to me Spencer.”

“You’re tequila and leather and I’m books and coffee.”

“Well, I happen to like books and coffee, not to mention sweater vests and messy hair. What about you, I doubt tequila’s up there, but what about leather?”

He nodded dumbfounded.

“You’re the one that said that opposites attract, well, this electron’s attracted to you genius.”

He blushed. “I wouldn’t mind being enveloped by you.”

With the words out, he blushed, making you laugh. Dragging him down by the collar for another kiss.
