Voyager rewatch s4 ep19: The Killing Game pt 2

It's 1940s WWII holodeck adventures part 2! The fun continues as the American soldiers join the Resistance fighters in the picturesque French village of St. Clair (aka holodeck one).

Janeway and Seven attempt to access and disable the crew's neural interfaces to the holodeck before their Hirogen captors find out, while the Americans find their way to the nightclub where the Resistance is hiding out. This leads to the unbearably cute reveal that Tom and B'Elanna's holocharacters, Bobby and Brigitte, are each other's long lost loves. When they're told to go work together, we're treated to an absolutely lovely scene of the two of them reminiscing about their romance before the war. Robbie and Roxann both fit the old Hollywood movie character types they're playing here to a T- they both have that vibe even as Tom and B'Elanna, so it's so much fun to let them totally play into it here, especially with the mutual pining their holocharacters have going on. I know I give the writers a hard time a lot, but I honestly couldn't have invented anything better if they'd asked me personally what AU fanfiction I'd love to stick Tom and B'Elanna in. His wholesome, earnest American soldier boy and her beautiful, worldly, tough dame with a soft spot for him are just so spot on. And when he pulls up that chair?? and sits eagerly leaning over the back of it, hanging on her every word?? looking at her, with her pouty red lips and her big brown eyes, like she's the most beautiful thing he's ever seen??? Ughhh I melt into a puddle of feels!! I have no ability to be normal about this subplot, I've been shipper trash for them since I was a kid, I can't help it!!

Anyway, Janeway and Seven return at this point, having been unable to disconnect anyone else. But they have a plan they need help with, and they play along with their 1940s personas so the others don't get suspicious. Janeway convinces Chakotay to come help her, and they use the hole in the holodeck wall to sneak into the ship. Chakotay, even while mind controlled, still seems taken with Janeway, calling her a good leader and a 'gung ho gal' (which Janeway seems to find amusing.) They find a way to disconnect the crew on the holodeck, which happens just as they're having a shoot out with the nazis, who take them prisoner. We get an explanation that B'Elanna's character's pregnancy is a holographic projection, which was a clever way to let B'Elanna have more to do in the story without the hindrance of having to hide Roxann's real-life pregnancy. (And lol at Tom reacting exactly the same way his 1940s character would when the German officer insults B'Elanna- dude, he's a hologram, he's not a real guy! He didn't really have an affair with her, it's not a real baby, you don't have to punch the pretend nazi for insulting your girl, especially when he's got a gun, and holodeck safety is off! But I'm a sucker for old-timey tropes like a guy defending the honor of his lady love, so I'll give him a pass for being reckless, because it's kinda romantic actually.)

Meanwhile, Janeway is injured and brought to the Hirogen leader, and tries to reason with him to let her crew go. He eventually agrees, but his second in command defies him when he finds out. The second Hirogen chases her through the ship, but Harry manages to set a countdown to overload the holo emitters. The crew on the holodeck are about to be shot by the holo-nazis, but the Doctor and Neelix lead a charge of Klingon warriors from the other holodeck simulation, and they hold them off long enough for the emitters to overload and delete all of the holocharacters. (The Doctor has some memorable and funny one-liners in this one too.)

Janeway gifts the remaining defeated Hirogen with holographic technology before they leave, in the hope that more of them can find a way to use it for their hunts, instead of hunting down real people. They don't commit, but they accept the gift, leaving a sliver of hope that they'll create a less violent future for themselves.

Tl;dr: A fun, exciting episode, that has action, drama, comedy, romance, and little featured moments for all of the main cast. There's a little bit of everything, all very well packaged together. One of my favorite Voyager stories, for sure!

[noys-boise]

you should talk about Howard the Duck!!

okay okay okay

so today is the 37th anniversary of the howard the duck movie!! it's like.. a lot-

it's a really weird movie for sure I guess i should list the pros and cons. let's start with the cons so we end on a positive note :

cons

-it's really not a faithful adaptation. like the writers straight up pretty much admitted they don't understand the source material which is veeeeery questionable

-the movie just can't decide what age it's for. like it tries to be a kid's movie but there are too many weird sexual references for it (i guess nothing too blatant just duck boobs for a few seconds, Howard's weird duck condom, that infamous scene that ultimately never went beyond kissing and well okay the worst one is probably that weird bathhouse scene. i legitimately don't understand why that even exists.)

-the weird genre switch. it's SO out of nowhere and it's just.. a really jarring transition. one second you're watching a romcon about a duck and singer and the other second you're in a high stakes sci fi and you get basically no time to adjust you just have to accept it

-phil blumburt tends to be the most annoying man sometimes. and then sometimes he's just a funny guy. they can't decide i guess.

-THE FUCKING 7 MINUTE CHASE SCENE I HATE IT SO MUCH

-sometimes the duck puns can be a lot

okay but of course I don't hate this movie at all it's actually a big comfort for me so

pros

-Lea Thompson as Beverly Switzler is such a casting choice she SLAYS it genuinely changed my life her version of Beverly is the most iconic to ever

-also Chip Zien voicing Howard. can't get better than that. he's a damn good voice actor tbh. people say they wish the movie kept Robin Williams but tbh? they're cowards. Chip Zien Howard is best Howard i take no criticism

-the howarly plotline is definitely the heart of the movie and it's set up so well. it's a liiittle cheesy but it also makes me squeal every two seconds. they've got the angst the fluff and everything in between and you KNOW I'm a sucker for them! seriously they made a point to show how much they understand each other and care for each other and Howard basically makes it his life mission to fix all of Beverly's problems while Beverly makes it her life mission to protect Howard from this wirld that tries to hurt him and they're just so soft and i love them they have SO MANY big moments in this movie and it feeds me

-THE. MUSIC. OH MY GOD. between John Barry's score (the howarly leitmotif titled you're the duckiest is genuinely BRAINROTTING to me) and Thomas Dolby cherry bomb songs (ughhh they're all perfect) the music is such a strong point in this movie

-speaking of: cherry bomb!! they don't have a big part in the movie unfortunately but Ronette, K.C. and Cal are just so charming i want a sequel just focusing on the band without any of the alien stuff. i want more spotlight to my girls!! and of course also Howard and Beverly and even Phil but i need my girlies to get something!!

-this is bit of a minor thing but every single outfit Beverly wears is iconic

-there's some very explicit acab messaging and Beverly aims a gun at a cop <3

-just. the vibes. they're fun. i wish people would just accept this movie as a fun time instead of expecting some kind of deep philosophical whatever because then of course it will disappoint them! take it for what it is! because for what it is it's cute and fun and comforting! and i love it.

[nonhumanhottie]

[redsysan]

Shy Girl asks you out on a date before school ends

Context:

You are a high school student who’s been having a crush on the boy (listener)... Before school ends you confess to him… he (the listener) gladly agrees to take you out on a date

[internal thoughts] “ [sigh] School is going to be over in a week, and I still haven’t built up enough courage to ask him out. Every time I’m near him I just go into panic mode just like Bocchi having a panic attack. I’m just scared that he will reject me and every one of his friends would laugh at me, I would be so embarrassed that I would spend my whole life under a paper bag, not talking to anyone ever again

No..no..no.. I’m overthinking this again, it wouldn’t happen, right? No, it would most likely happen..

Ughhh… why am I always thinking about the worst things that can happen to me

Ok!! [speaker’s name]. You’ve got to get your shit together, after the last class today you’ll ask him…” [you bump into him in the hallway dropping all the books you were carrying]

Oh my god….

I’m so sorry I… I should have watched where I was walking…

[internal thoughts]

“Oh no… out of all the people in the school, why did I bump into him

[Hesitates]

Should… Should I tell him….?”

[stuttering]

Hey… umm.. Tha… thank you, for… for picking up my books for me, [quickly] hey umm… can I take you out on a date… umm no, I’m so sorry this is so weird, I… I wasn’t supposed to say that I’m sorry…I… I’m gonna go now…

[he grabs your hand]

Huh.. What.. what are you….

[he kisses you]

Oh… oh my, that was something haha, what… made you choose me, I’m as pretty as the other girls in class plus, I’m also very awkward and everything…

…

You think I’m cute? and you’ve noticed me for a while now? 

So, you would be willing to go on a date with me? 

Oh wow… this is so unexpected ahah,  I literally have nothing planned right now… so is the Diner near the school ok? I heard they have really good strawberry pie there haha… 

So… the date is set then? Ok… I will see you then 

[kiss]

[walks away]

[internal thoughts]

[happily] “I can’t believe that just happened, it’s just like a fantasy… anyhow… I need to look the best for him tonight”

[End]

Part 2

[Date Night]

[Knocks on the door]

You look incredible tonight. I'm really looking forward to our date.

[Smiles] Oh, I think you're being too modest. You look amazing too, handsome.

Are you ready to head out? Let's get going.

[At the Diner]

I didn't expect the diner to be this empty tonight. It's usually bustling with students and couples. 

Let's take a look at the menu.

[Looking at the menu]

Yes, we're ready to order. I'll have the strawberry pie with a side of vanilla ice cream, and some syrup, please.

[He orders]

Thank you for joining me on this date. It means a lot to me. I'm still amazed that someone as popular as you in our class, even the whole school, is interested in me. Haha.

[The meal arrives]

Wow, the food looks delicious. Let's dig in.

[As you eat]

So, how has your week been? I heard you've been quite busy with your activities.

[He talks about his week]

That sounds exciting. I've been keeping busy with my studies, but I'm glad we could make time for this date.

[As the conversation continues]

You know, spending time with you tonight has been really special. I've admired you from afar, and it's even better getting to know you in person.

You're amazing, and I'm glad we decided to go on this date.

Would you like to do something else after dinner, maybe take a walk or catch a movie?

[He responds]

A walk sounds lovely too. I'd enjoy a little more time with you.

[The date continues with a romantic walk]

[At the end of the walk]

I had a wonderful time tonight. It's been even better than I imagined.

[He smiles]

Me too. I can't believe how great this date turned out. We should definitely do this again sometime.

[You say goodbye at your door]

Thanks for walking me back. I really enjoyed tonight. Have a great night.

[kisses]

[You both exchange smiles and part ways]

And scene.

How the slashers would react to watching Encanto.

this is my first time writing a out them so sorry if it sucks lol

Characters: Michael Meyers, Jason Vorhees, Chucky, Tiffany

Some of them are out of character.

Michael Meyers:

-i feel like he wouldn't care in the begging and he would pretend he doesn't want to be there but really appreciate it that you want to have quality time with him.

-once he sees it's a cartoon he would huff and try to get up and walk away, you ofc wouldn't let that happen tho. bc you would nag him and whine to him about watching it.

-ofc he gives in to shut you up, once he hears the music he will lightly groan in annoyance, but would watch anyway bc he already did his duties today.

-once it gets to the best parts he will get more interested, he won't show it but internally he is at the edge of his seat bitting his lip waiting for what's next.

-he feel sympathetic for Mirabel, growing up Michael didn't have anyone and was left out a lot. and seeing it happen to Mirabel it brings back memories of it all, and it leaves him feeling somewhat better that he wasn't the only one who went through it.

^^^even if it was a cartoon.

-he HATES Abuela and is irritated by her, he thinks that she is a hypocrite bc she doesn't even have magic so she shouldn't be rude to Mirabel.

-he loves Bruno and thinks he's funny when Hernando and Jorge came up. he huffed at the jokes but tried not to show any amusement. (his heart panged a little at the plate scene)

-he thinks Antonio is adorable and loves how fluffy his hair is, he also thinks that Pepa and Felix relationship is comforting.

-over all he liked the movie and would watch it again but ofc you would never know and don't even mention him liking it bc he would walk out the house.

-9/10 just bc he is angry at Abuela but most of the part he's ok.

Jason Vorhees

-this baby boy would watch anything with you doesn't matter (as long as he's not busy)

-but knowing him he would drop everything just to watch it with you.

-he sits down on his makeshift recliner and pulls you in his lap. as you watch it he's interested in all the colors and different people.

-he loves the music he will tap his fingers on your arm and wiggle his foot to the best. (his favorite song is "Family Madrigal" in the beginning)

-he doesn't like Abuela bc it reminds him of the kids when he was younger and sympathies with Mirabel bc he was the "outcast" and Mirabel was the "outcast" as well.

-he loves Bruno, he thinks he's funny and he will giggle at Hernando and Jorge. he thinks the rats are cute. (he teard up at the plate scene)

-he wants a little kid like Antonio, he thinks he's the cutest little kid ever. Pepa and Feliz relationship is someone he wants to have with you❤️.

-in the end he loved the movie so much and 100% would watch it again and again. he loves the music too. whenever he's doing his woods duties he would hum the song. and bop his head a little bit.❤️❤️

-10/10 he loves it so much and it's his new comfort movie.

Chucky

-he would throw a whole fit if you try and make him watcha cartoon. I mean curse words and f-bombs getting thrown left and right.

-he may not show it but he's a big softy for you, so when he walks out the room but sences he made you sad he will com back in and sit next to you.

-"I'm here now so hurry up and play the damn movie already." (Chucky rn 'me as an empathy sences you are sad')

-he doesn't like the music or the colors. he complains about getting a headache and won't shut up about how dumb it is.

-"ughhh doll can't we watch something else it's to childish", "I swear I'm going to get a headache" or "just stop being a bitch and blow out the candle already🙄"

-in the end he's drooling asleep, don't ask him nothing he doesn't like the movie fell asleep like 20 minutes in.

-he tried to stay awake but couldn't it wasn't his cup of tea. don't reccomend watching anything that isn't horror.

-1/10 don't reccomend, waste of time, annoying and all but he tried I mean at least he stayed in the same room as you 🙂

Tiffany

-she was so happy when you asked if she wanted to watch a movie with you. she sat right next to you and y'all cuddled🥰

-she loves the music and colors, she will wiggle her hips to the beat and smile. she also comments here and there about Antonio and about Julieta and Augustine's relationship.

-she HATES Abuela and I mean with a passion, Everytime she came on the tv Tiff would glare and HARD at the tv. (if looks could kill the tv would be up in flames)

-she just wants to squish Antonio's cheecks she loves him🥰. Julieta and Augustine's relationship is top tier to her. (she wants that domesticated relationship)

-she finds Bruno funny, she giggle and kinda pitys him. she feels bad that he was treated that way. Hernando and Jorge are definitely funny to her. (the plate seen had her in tears)

-10/10 really relaxing and therapeutic for you both. you guys now have movie night every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. on those days you watch Disney.❤️❤️

[skeleboiii84]

So I saw this idea of a hero stretch X a villain reader and I thought it was a fun idea. I will be carrying on a part. 2 of the one I saw by @trytofic please go check them out they're writing is amazing!

So without further ado

You're a lil bittersweet🧡

(Hero stretch X a villain reader prt. 2)

You gazed a glare of annoyance at the skeleton monster and his brother you wanted to just go home. But how they just kept talking and talking asking questions stupid ones at that you felt yourself getting really ready to smack this bright skeleton freak up his skull.

"So, " the stretch started, you looked at him dead in the eye sockets with a scarce glare. He broke a sweat and began again "I know ya don't really want us around ya right now-", " gee whatever gave you that impression hot shot. " you said sarcastically as you rolled your eyes at him. He let out a small chuckle before continuing once again " but I uh.. I was real worried bout ya the other night and I was wonderin' if maybe we could get to know each other a bit more. "

You paused for a second (*is he serious?, does he not understand I'm a villain?? *) you thought, (*no, no I fell for it once I'm not letting it happen again*) . "I'm sorry-" you started but he was already holding out his number for you to take his cheeks almost dusted a very light shade of.. Orange? "You can take it anyway just in case you want to, do what you want with it burn it rip it up whatever you want just if you need it.. You uh- you got it".

You carefully took the piece of paper out of his hand in slight shock for a few seconds as he walked off. You wanted to destroy it get rid of it but what he said stuck with you.. (*do what you want with it burn it rip it up whatever you want just if you need it.. You uh- you got it*) you couldn't help but feel confused why was he being so nice to you?? You didn't understand him.

You decided to take a hike back home to your run down apartment building. When you stepped in you realized the entire time you couldn't stop thinking about that stupid, goofy orange bastard. You decided to run yourself a bath to help take your mind off everything that happened the past few days. Fights, hospital trip, some cute ass skeleton you couldn't stop thinking about- wait.

Did you really just think that "UGHHH!!", you screeched before placing your head on your knees letting the warm water around you. At this point small tears formed in the corners of your eyes. (*why*) you thought (*why does this always have to happen to me*).

As soon as you got out of the tub you pulled out his number and just stared at it. For at least 15 minutes. Maybe- no you couldn't you wouldn't. But you supposed it could be nice to have someone to talk to other than your cat bean. After awhile of hesitation you decided to text him.

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

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

You couldn't help but let out a little bit of a smirk as you laughed at what a loser he was. The more you talked however the more you realized you had in common. You were genuinely quite surprised when you realized how big of a horror movie fanatic he was. You two geeked out for 3 hours rating, discussing, nerding and explaining horror movies.

Again please check out Part one and full credit to @trytofic

[ironmanfridgemagnet]

hi can u do some dating marcus hcs ?

yes ofc I can anon!! Thank you for the request <33

Okay, so:

so you and Marcus meet working at the store, obviously, and that makes things so much harder when you two first get together.

Like, anything becomes gossip in the cloud 9 break room (especially if Mateo and Garret have anything to say about it), so you were trying hard to keep things on the down low.

It’s not that you didn’t want people to know!! It’s just you weren’t keen on the idea of all your coworkers being invested in every part of your relationship.

However, after Jonah walks in on a pretty steamy make out sesh shared between the two of you on the break room couches, shit hits the fan.

It is PDA central in the store, 24/7 when you’re with Marcus. That man loves you more then anything and wants nothing more then for people to know you’re his partner.

Wether it’s a hand on your back or shoulder or arm, your fingers intertwined with his, a kiss to the forehead or the back of your hand - no matter what he’s always touching you in some way.

Sharing food is a big thing!! He looks to cook with you, bake with you, go out to eat with you, pick snacks out for a movie night with you; just anything involving you and food.

Honestly, Marcus just wants to share everything with you; music, food, drinks, his life. He has so much love to give and it’s his main way of showing it.

Listening to music? He’s offered you an earbud and puts on a song he thinks you’ll like. Eating his lunch? He always offers you the second bite (he takes the first to make sure it tastes good). New jacket or hoodie? He’s offering it to you before he’s got the chance to wear it.

He doesn’t realise just how much of a romantic he is; when he’s not thinking about it that is.

The second Marcus tries to put effort into a date or anything of the like, it always seems to go topside. But everytime you’re there to reassure him, and tell him you’d be happy just spending time with him.

He does try his hardest though bless him.

Nights after work with Marcus are the best; it’s just the two of you, and it’s as though he’s even more of a melt then usual. He’ll curl into your side, head tucked into the crook of your neck, and not leave till the next morning if you’ll let him.

Stealing his jumpers!!!! He has this grey crew neck that he’s always wearing and ughhh he would just crumble seeing you wear it. You’d be too cute for him to handle. Though you’d argue back he looks better in it.

He’s really just a sweetie when you get past the eccentric ideas.

————————————————————————

Thank you for the request Anon!! I hope you enjoyed. I’d be more then happy to do anymore Marcus (or the superstore guys) HC / requests just send me an ask and let me know <33

As always have a lovely week!! <3

[atomic-rena]

What were your first thoughts to seeing king Julien?

well the first time i met him was in mada 1 and 2, i wasn't a huge animal person (still am not) so even if i liked the movies just fine they never really stuck with me at such a young age.

then in the wonderful year of 2008 tpom started to air on nick. now i still am not an animal person but i really loved tpom! i remember finding king julien funny, a core memory of him that always stuck with me was when he get's his crown stolen by the big rat guy and skipper retrieves it but gets badly beat up only for kj to notice a spot of dirt on it and throw it away in exchange for one of his many replacement crowns. i think generally i just saw him as an asshole tho, he is the cause of most problems in tpom. so yeah, funny guy but not my favorite, (mort was my favorite because he was cute).

but then last year i watched the really long video about mort. you guys know the one, "crimes of mort" or whatever its like 4 hours long. anyways, my jaw was on the floor the entire time. how could the cute little guy from the silly penguin be this eldritch entity?? what the fuck?!?! so i watched ahkj. i had a vague understanding of the mada timeline up until this point, but i figured since ahkj is the prequel to the movies (+ tpom) i should just watch it all in order. i dont really do much, so i have the time...

i was on a road tip with my family the next day, perfect! i can start ahkj! i was captivated by this world i had rediscovered, not only for mort but for king julien too. he was no longer just an asshole that causes problems, he was a more complex and tragic character. one that is somewhat delusional but tries his best to be good (most times). it was a much kinder take on him and my brain just really clicked with him. i watched a few more episodes and decided i should tell my sister.

we get to our destination and we had some down time to kill in a spare bedroom, i had my laptop with me. i ask her if she wants to watch ahkj with me. "it's actually kinda funny!" i modestly promise her, trying to convince her to jump off the deep end with me. she's tired and bored but ultimately still curious enough to say yes. we are fucking hooked to this godforsaken show.

the next couple of months are spent watching nothing but this fucking show with her. i not only start to like king julien more and more, but also maurice and clover. and mort, fucking mort. this little guy found his way into my heart again, this time of course for reasons other than just 'being cute'.

but back to the question: part of the reason kj had such a big appeal to me upon revisiting him was his queerness. i missed it as a kid but this lemur is queer, so obviously queer. but unlike other shows it's not something that others him, it's just him and it felt really natural?? i dont know if i can articulate how i feel fully in text, but regardless of it being very queerbaity, because they never outright say it, i dont think the show had too explicitly say it. now that's a very personal interpretation feel free to disagree but yeah that's kinda how i feel.

another thing is that is a big draw to this character for me is that he's not a fucking teenager. shows about teens are fine (i love the owl house!!) but as an adult that is no longer in high school i dont wanna watch shows about kids in high school. it just feels like every goddamn thing is set in high school (especially anime which i also love but, ughhh different topic). ahkj and just the mada franchise has the advantage of having non human characters, so it's still a funny kid cartoon thats aloud to be silly and lighthearted, but with adult characters with more adult responsibilities. i think ahkj just hit me at the right time in my life, i was able to relate to some of the more general ideas of the show, ya know??

so tldr; as a kid i didnt care for him in tpom but as an adult revisiting him in ahkj he was weirdly relatable. mort is still my favorite despite everything.

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

HOLY WHAT THE HECK, THE CHAPTER I BEGIN ON AND THE CHAPTER I ENDED ON WERE LIKE ON TWO DIFFERENT ENDS OF THE SPECTRUM

Xie Lian's extremely overdramatic reaction to anything embarrassing is sooo on point! Like yes, I too would say "Die! Just die! If he can’t die, then just dig a hole somewhere and pretend to be dead!" if I embarrassed myself in front of my crush or smt lol

I- UGHHH DWDHOWFNL my heart literally feels so FULL whenever I read about some cute hualian moments, but you gotta understand, it's not the declarations of love or the acts of chivalry, it's the small, subtle stuff that just consume me, like the simple understanding...

Xie Lian wasn’t dumb. He knew that Hua Cheng was giving him an easy out, but he could only follow along and mumbled vaguely with his head bowed.

Omg the whole talk they have at the beach?!?! There's just so much in that convo nfqofnoqi and like it's incredible how much every sentence means when you just look at ALL that context behind it. Like when he's thinking about why the person Hua Cheng likes doesn't like him back yet (UGH THEY ARE SO STUPID I WILL SCREAM),

Maybe it was because he felt the other party didn’t have good taste, or maybe they were taking it all for granted.

and it's like, are you self-projecting? do you feel like you are taking Hua Cheng for granted? but also, after everything he went through, to have someone believe him or just care for him, despite being a scrap-collecting god, it was something he took as granted when he was at his height, and it's just...wow.

and this,

After a pause, he continued, “There was also a period of time in my life that wasn’t easy, and during that time, I’d constantly think: if someone should witness the version of me who rolled in dirt and couldn’t get up, but could still love me for who I was, it’d be great. Still, I don’t know if there’s anyone like that, and I daren’t show that part of my past to anyone, either.

Like I know it's a meme/quote but the one where it's like 'If you can't handle me at my worst, then you don't deserve me at my best' fits so well, and the reason why certain memes kick off so well is because of how much truth is in them, y'know?? and we see that reflected in this so well lejnfownfogn

and of course

OF COURSE

OF FREAKING COURSE

THIS GOLDEN LINE, THIS INCOMPARABLE LINE T-T

“To me, the one basking in infinite glory is you; the one fallen from grace is also you. What matters is you, and not the state of you."

It just summarizes everything previously stated so beautifully.

ANd like, this part?

Hua Cheng didn’t say anything more, either, and laid down inside the coffin. Xie Lian entered too, and pulled the cover closed. As if a light was blown out, they sunk into darkness.

It just reflects their whole story so nicely? Like the whole world around them being a coffin; so dreadful, so constrained, painful, grieving, and yet in all that darkness, they had each other and it's all that mattered...

It's all that they needed to survive...

(But also lmaooo Xie Lian plzz calm your thoughts LOL)

I LOVE HOW BLUNT HE IS

Pei Ming pulled out his sword and said leisurely, “Yeah. There’s the coffin wood, but where’s the deceased?

Hua Cheng smiled, too. “If you’re so concerned with who’s dead, I suggest you go kill yourself.

OMg this part was legit straight out of horror movie level SO excellent

Xie Lian blurted out, “My Lords! I FOUND IT! LOOK…”

Just then, his pupils suddenly shrank. Something new was reflected within the Black Water Lake.

A shadowy figure had appeared soundlessly behind both him and Hua Cheng.

It's hurting me so much seeing Shi Qingxuan taking so much care of Ming Yi at every turn and the part where he went 'It's not fair Ming YI has to suffer so much when he has nothing to do with it' and Im like boiiii, OOHHH BOIIIII You have nooo idea

No idea at all...

(Unknowingly, he even took care of the actual earth master bones after they fell and I'm like EYYYYYHH)

Like it wasn't his fault the fates were switched but like inheritly, it was his fault and it's just...does he really deserve all that pain? Just for existing? Just for his predetermined fate?

UGh GOD HE'S SO CUTE HERE

Xie Lian knocked on the doors and called out brightly, “Pardon the intrusion! We have, by accident, offended bluntly. We deeply apologize.”

No one answered. Xie Lian steadied his mind and slowly pushed open the palace doors.

Based on Xie Lian’s years of experience, even if there was something inside, it wouldn’t come out and greet them the moment the doors opened. Yet he had to eat his own words. Upon the first look, there was something petrifying.

In the grand, spacious centre of the entrance hall sat a person. And this person, dressed in all black, its face snow-white—was a corpse.

Instantly Xie Lian shut the doors soundly.

He thought, “Did I maybe open the doors incorrectly? Something like that shouldn’t show itself so fast?”

He had wanted to try greeting again and start over, but Shi Wudu had already walked past him and pushed open the doors, humphing.

AND HERE TOO WBILBFILWBF

The group of them surrounded that haunting skeleton and started examining it. Xie Lian spoke up.

“First, it’s a man.”

“We see that,” the group said.

(Can't stop laughing cuz one of the best ways to identify a male skeleton is by looking at the pelvic region and I'm just imagining all these heavenly officials doing that and it's HILARIOUS)

I have strong, bad feeling Water master will not be passing his third heavenly calamity this time....

As for what the consequences of that would be, we are to find out...I think quite soon :/

I forgot about the Reverend of Empty Words there for a second lol

AND UGGHHHH WHY DO I KEEP LEAVING IT AT CLIFF HANGERS?!?! (ok I do it so I have something to anticipate and look forward too) BUT LIKE WHYYYYYYY

The one behind you, several hundreds of years ago, his original name was He Xuan. He cultivated into a Supreme, and changed his name to Black Water Demon Xuan. He devoured the Reverend of Empty Words and sent that creature to find you. He imprisoned and murdered the real Earth Master, and took on his name, assuming his position in the heavens!!!”

Just as the words left his lips, his entire person suddenly froze.

A hand had slapped onto his shoulder without warning

LIKE OMG THIS IS INSANE WBIFBWOFJOW THIS MAN IS ALL OF THEM BUT ALSO NONE OF THEM?? He's actually just He Xuan, like wow. And it's crazy that He Xuan was powerful enough to kill a heavenly official, but also kill the og demon dude, like wow that's insaneeee

I'm worried

S/O who sleeps (too much) in the oddest of places

Ohh, being tired 24/7. I feel ya,,

((My formats will be a bit a different as I’m experimenting which feels and looks best, so bear with me))

- Y a s . My five favorite characters of haikyuu. yes. I agree. -

Pair(s): Iwaizumi Hajime x Reader, Suna Rintaro x Reader, Tendou Satori x Reader, Yachi Hitoka x Reader & Sugawara Koushi x Reader

Summary: 

You are the type of person to either have pulled so many all nighters that fatigue has finally caught up to you and the backlash is very intense, or you are such a sleepy person you’ll take a nap anywhere, anytime. It had cause inconvenience sometimes, such as having to keep the storage closet in school locked to prevent you from sleeping and being locked in, or skipping some classes to doze off. But thankfully your partner was able to help and spot you in time before anything off happens. 

Iwaizumi Hajime x Reader 

((Ughhh, I love and pimp,,, I canNOT express that enough))

Iwaizumi knows his S/O can be such a sleepy babe

He wants you to be careful where you decide to rest

One time he wondered where you were, as he hasn’t found you in your class nor has his friends saw you in lunch 

He usually visits you to check up on you, to see if you’re okay, if you got enough sleep, or if you ate

He!! Is!! Concerned!! for !! your wellbeing!! 

With school ending and no practice today, Iwaizumi was eager to see you and walk you home, maybe even order takeout while watching a movie or something. When he said goodbye to his friends, he grabbed his scarf and jacket, heading to your classroom.

“Ah, Iwaizumi-kun.” One of your friends say, seeing him walk through the door and scanning the classroom. “If you’re looking for (Y/N), we haven’t seen them in a while. Last time we did it was the first few classes, then they left.”

Nodding in thanks, Iwaizumi decides to keep texting you, until you answer. But you didn’t. Which meant you kept your phone at do not disturb again OR your phone died. Again. You probably used it to listen to the newest podcast and went straight to school without sleeping a wink.Furrowing his brow, he grunted in frustration. “Where can they be?” 

He thought for a moment. 

‘Not in the storage closet, the janitor now locks it cause they kept finding (Y/N) in it. In the locker room? No, I got a text from one (Y/N)’s friends that they didn’t go to P.E.’

Then it clicked.

“(Y/N) better not be up there, it’s fucking freezing-” 

Speed walking down through the hallways and up the stairs until he reached the rooftop, he slammed open the door and he looked around, circling the entrance, he sighed with relief. 

You were napping against the back of the entrance building, a fluffy blanket and his hoodie that you were wearing to keep yourself extra warm. Not to mention you also layered his hoodie with his VBC jacket. You were lying in fetus position, your bag serving as a pillow as you snored softly, blanket pulled up to your nose. 

You look so precious. 

‘Snap out of it, Hajime! They could’ve gotten sick! They can’t sleep here any longer!’ 

Crouching down, he nudges your temple with the curl of his index finger. He’s not surprised that your skin was cold, the tint of pink on your cheeks and nose tell him how cold your face was. 

“Baby, wake up.” He speaks quietly, still rubbing the crook of his finger against your temple. 

Humming as your eyes flutter open, you sneezed, sniffing as you smiled in a daze to your lovely boyfriend. “Hallo, Hajime. What’re you doing up here?” 

He pouted a bit, now his face is tinted red. “Idiot, I was looking for you. You haven’t been answering your phone, did your phone die again?” 

You snuggled deeper into his jacket, looking so soft and cozy. Your boyfriend is practically dying inside from how cute you are. “Mm. I think so? M’not sure.” 

“C’mon, let’s go home. You slept until school was over, dumbie.” He brought his hand close to you, sneaking out from the blanket, your warm hand grab his cold one, and he pulled you up, picking up your bag and then wrapping the fluffy blanket around your body. 

“When we get to your place can we sleep? You’re so warm, Hajime.” You shift closer to him, snuggling against the crook of his neck.

He chuckled, ruffling your hair despite your annoyed, tired, protests. “Of course we can bubs. But you got to do your homework.” 

You hummed again, softly this time. “I did it already. I can give you the answers if it means you’ll sleep with me.” 

Iwaizumi sputtered, “W-Watch what you’re saying, dumbass! You can’t just say that to anyone!” 

Hugging him, the fluffy blanket still covering you and engulfing him, you smiled slyly, “That’s why I’m saying it to you, babes.” 

“Idiot, l-let’s go.”

“Eager, aren’t ya?” 

“...Shut up.” 

((Yes. Give me all of Iwaizumi Hajime. Yes. I agree.))

Suna Rintaro x Reader

((Look at him.  LOOK AT HIM. Icant---)) 

Suna probably either does get enough sleep or he doesn’t, there’s no inbetween

Sometimes he does, cause he’s so tired from practice and collecting blackmail from the Miya twins fight

and there are times he doesn’t that you have to pick him up from class cause not even the loudest Miya twin can wake him up

That’s cause Suna trained himself to tune out Atsumu HA

But in reality, I feel like Suna is a light sleeper and if you were to wake him up, he’ll be like, “Wassup, babe?” In the husky ,,, tone,, aARYUFVAOR

He does usually need to find you, cause he does get concerned where you sleep

During gym class, you decided to fall asleep underneath the bleachers. You weren’t dead tired, but you had a big exam for three of your classes. Three tests take up a lot of mind power and studying consumes days and nights of good sleep.  Thankfully, Suna had let you wear his VBC jacket today, cause he knows how cold it can be in the gymnasium. 

By the time gym class ended, lunch rolled around and Suna had texted you that he was coming over to your homeroom so he can pick you up and eat with him and the twins. 

Arriving at your classroom, he looks around and sees that you weren’t there. Asking your seat mates, they reply to him that they haven't seen you since gym class. Blinking at them, he nodded and left. Pulling out his phone, he checked your snapchat and you posted nothing. Swiping up, he sees that you’re still in school, but it doesn’t exactly say where, only that you’re in the Eastside. 

Gym. 

You’re still in the gymnasium. 

He knew that you were busy studying for the three tests that he came to the conclusion that you didn’t get enough sleep, which meant you’re sleeping somewhere in the gym.

Going to your locker cubby, he opened it to see that you haven’t even brought lunch with you. Except two juiceboxes. Taking them out, he headed back to his class and picked up his own bento. 

“Where ya goin’ Suna? Aren’t ya s’ppose to eat with (Y/N)?” Osamu asked. 

“Hm. I will. Gotta pick’em up.” He replied. 

“Good luck findin’ them then.”

“Thanks, ‘Samu.” 

Suna casually walked to the gymnasium, taking long stride to get there at a shorter time. (Curse them... and their tallness))  Entering, he decided to call you. Then he heard the small ringtone you set up for him, the ‘bunny-senpai theme’ something like that. Following the sound of it, he stood in front of the bleachers in confusion. The ringtone was coming from there but you weren’t on the bleachers. Walking to the side, he heard the ringing become louder. Peeking from behind, he shone his phone light and saw a figure sitting against the wall. 

Snorting, he entered into the small cave and sat next to you, seeing as you were about to fall forward, he debated on either recording you fall flat on your face, probably groan and go back to sleep, or, he cannot do that. 

Being the good boyfriend he is, he placed his hand on your forehead, pulling it gently towards him, having you lean against his shoulder. He decided to take a photo, only for him and your eyes, adding it to his album of you two together. The album was called ‘Finding (Y/N)’, which was dedicated to you being found in the oddest parts of school and Suna finding you. You were mainly asleep in most of them, since that’s why he named it after you because of the places you sleep in or on. 

Last time he found you sleeping on one of the library tables, far back where all the bookshelves hide that table and other forgotten books. 

Throwing up a peace sign, a certain angle showing both him and you, he captioned it, ‘Underneath the bleachers :P’ 

Somehow the flash of the screen camera made you stir, waking up, you lazily blinked. 

Suna turned to you, kissing the top of your head. “Hey, Sleeping Beauty. Nice nap?” 

Sighing, you nuzzled against his shoulder. “S’cold, Rin.” You muttered. Opening his bento, he picked up some meat and popped it into his mouth, talking with his mouth full he replied, “S’cause you’re wearing shorts, babe.” He draped his hand over your exposed legs, patting them softly and then pulling it onto his own. “Where’s your sweats?” 

“Mn, I’unno. Must’ve put’em in the laundry. Or something.” You said, going back to sleep until you sniffed your boyfriend’s lunch. Tired eyes shooting up, you rub your head against Suna. “Can I have please?” 

Chewing rice, Suna picked up a piece of spice pork and offered it to you. 

Taking a bite, you mewled at how good it tastes. 

“Nice hiding place, by the way.” 

“Thanks, bubba.” 

((Omg,,,, I fuckin LOVE HIMMMM))

Tendou Satori x Reader

(AUYROVARFOYVARFOY YES,,,, I SIMP AND PIMP ))

OHHH what an energetic boi *cue puppy eyes uwu*

When he sees you napping he finds it sooo cute!!!

He can’t help but coo and call you the cutest nicknames for you to wake up too

“Peach” - “Jellal to my Erza” - “Beloved” - “Sweetcheeks” etc etc YUGFOEUYFGOUYEFV I LOVE TENDOU!!!!!

Shiratorizawa is a big school 

He usually wants you to go straight to your dorm or his dorm so you can nap, but he does want you to text him so he can see you and plop down next to you so you can nap together <3

If he can’t nap, he’ll read manga next to you be enveloped by your body warmth

When you forget to text him AND you’re not in either dorm, you know he’s gonna f i n d  y o u

out of love, ofc <3

At the end of practice, Tendou headed to his dorm, ready to shower and change into comfier sweats. Opening the door and dropping his bag to the side, he noticed there wasn’t a familiar lump on his bed. Shrugging, he took a quick shower and changed into warmer clothing. Drying his hair with a towel, he  sat down on his bed and checked his phone. 

“Ara, (Y/N) isn’t in their dorm. Good thing their roomie is there. Time to find my sunshine~!” Standing up, he pocketed his phone and closed his door. He could use the snapchat app, but he always like a challenge. Checking your reoccurring and unusual sleeping spots, he had found that you weren’t there at any of them. 

Humming, he had overheard from your classmates as he passed the hallways that they haven’t seen you after lunch. Like the good partner he is, he remembers your schedule. Since you had some of the same breaks, he made sure to drop by and wake you up so you can eat. He does find it worrisome that you like to sleep a lot that you forget to eat sometimes, but he doesn’t mind if that means he gets to see you more often! And talking about remembering schedules, he would sometimes pull you out of class so both of you can go into one of your hiding spots and catch up on whatever you wanted to talk about. 

Tendou loves hearing about your dreams. You tell him you have the weirdest and coolest anime-esque dreams when you’re at a specific place in school, saying it ‘Awakens your dream eye’. He indulges on it, saying that maybe one of your dreams can become a really cool manga idea, so he decided to help you keep your dreams consistent, doing research as in keeping a dream journal to continue the awesome dream you had, most of the time, you have your boyfriend on edge with how detailed your dreams can be. 

“My angel, lil’puppy, light of my life, where can you be?” He sang out at the hallways, passing by students who stayed a bit late to continue their studies or help around the school by cleaning. 

Stopping for a moment he recalled what your friend said; 

“(Y/N) probably dozed off again. I haven’t seen them since lunch and before that, we had lab.” 

Humming a made-up tune, he made his way to the lab reserved for the third-years, and as he slid open the door, he turned on the light and looked around. From checking to the storage closet and underneath the student’s desks he pouted a bit. 

A light bulb went off in his redhead. 

Going to the teacher’s desk and pulling away the swiveled chair, he bent down and smiled. 

“Found you, (Y/N)-ba~by!” 

You were sleeping soundly, your knees pulled up to your chest and Tendou’s VBC jacket being worn as it made you look so much more endearing. 

“Wake up, you hibernating bear. Gotta get up before someone finds us.” He crawled close to you and he cupped his hand on your soft cheek, turning to pinch it. Eliciting a whine, you scrunched your nose and glared with your eyes closed. 

“Open your eyes and time to rise! Satori is here to bring you back to your kingdom!” He teased, seeing that you started to stir, but your eyes are still closed. You held out your grabby hands and he pulled you into his arms. 

“Must’ve been a nice dream to have you skip all of your afternoon classes and forget to text me. Why sleep here?” He asks as he smoothed out your hair, you caught his hand and nuzzle your face into his large palm, his heart doing everlasting flips as how adorable you are. 

“Mm, kinda...superhero dream. S’a redhead antihero. Kinda lo’like you, Satori. He’s so cool, tryin’ ta change the system.” You replied a bit slurred, your eyelids opening half-way to stare lovingly at him. 

With his lip wobbling and eyes smiling, he lightly rubbed his nose against yours, “Always the smooth talker, aren’t ya, love?” 

(((I am dying. IWANT HIM IWANTAHIMMMMMM)))

Yachi Hitoka x Reader

((SYUFOYVFYYOYV YES I AGREE I LOVE HER I WANNNT HERR IM A GREEDY PERSON OKAY OMG LET ME SIMP IN PEACE JEEZZ)

The pretty girl worries to death

Yachi knows that you don’t sleep at night cause you’re too busy gaming

Last time she slept over at your place, she tried her best to stay up for you but she passed out, when she woke up, YOU WERE STILL AWAKE

Finds ways for you to sleep early so she won’t have to find you sleeping in the storage closet beside the folded chairs

Conflicted on not wanting to wake you up or waking you up so you won’t get in trouble

You look so peaceful when you’re sleeping! She really dislike waking you up :(

As practice rolled around, Shimizu-senpai asked Yachi to pick up some more chairs from the storage closet. As she walked there and opened the closet, she heard soft snoring. 

She should know that it was you, but she was scared to move anything cause she doesn’t know exactly where you are sleeping on. Shuffling slowly, she peaked over some of the corners, reaching the blue mats, she saw the tuft of your hair at the opposite end. Climbing onto the mat, she crawled and looked down, seeing that you were sleeping in a cramped space. 

‘How can (Y/N) be possibly comfortable?’ 

Your head was leaning against the stacked mats, knees pulled to your chest and arms crossed on your knees. Just as Yachi was about to reach and fix your hair, she squealed when you caught her wrist, pulling it down as her face was closely met with your tired eyes glaring at the person who tried to wake you up. Softening your stare, you smiled kindly, loosening the grip on Yachi’s wrist and kissing it from holding it a bit tight. 

You were satisfied with the new color plastered on her face, a stuttering mess. 

“(Y/N)! W-What’re you doing s-sleeping here?! Don’t you know how cramped it is? And dusty?” She asked, avoiding your gaze. 

Humming, you rubbed the pad of your thumb against her soft wrist, “M’sitting on a spare towel. What’re you doing here?” 

“I had to get chairs for practice.” 

Groaning, with your other hand, you rubbed your temple. “I missed my last two classes. Damn.” 

Yachi pouted cutely, “(Y/N), did you sleep at all?” 

“I took a power nap. For five hours. Heh, don’t act so mad, buttercup. At least I got to wake up to you.” You flirted, snickering at how redder she became. 

“D-Don’t do that! I’m trying to be mad at you! You know I worry about your health. An average teenager should try to at least sleep seven or eight hours!” 

Sighing, you smiled at her with fondness, “I’m nocturnal, Hitoka. I sleep as much as possible when it’s the daytime. And I know for a fact that a student like you doesn’t sleep as much considering all the advanced class work can be a pain in the ass. Wasn’t it two nights ago you face timed me at two in the morning cause you were ready to set your homework on fire?” Smirking as you observed her sputtering for an explanation, you raised your hand and held the back of her head. 

“I’ll fix my sleep schedule if you give me daily kisses, how about that? Would you accept my offer, princess?” Your lips ghosted her, you can practically feel how warm her face is. 

Staring at her, she scrunched her brows and pursed her lips. “I don’t mind that proposal.” Yachi whispered. 

Grinning, you straightened your back as Yachi willingly leaned down to tilt to the right and returned the kiss. Pulling away, you stuck out your tongue between your teeth with a successful smile. 

“Since you’re awake, can you help me bring some chairs to the gym?” 

((I’m dying. I’m dying. IM DYING))

Sugawara Koushi x Reader

((This man,,, goddamn,,, angels voice DEVILS WORDS))

Sugawara knows you love to sleep too much 

He wonders if you hibernate in the winter

Makes jokes about you being bear,,, or a cat 

Would sometimes invite you to his house or go over to your place so he can make sure you eat and remind you to do your homework 

Babe loves to nap with you after practice!!

Snuggling into all the pillows and blankets you hoard 

“I am in the cave of the hibernating honey bear”

“Koushi, go to sleep”

Sugawara knows how sleepy you are, so he doesn’t mind coming to your place and greeting you with kisses for you to wake up to. Even though practice ended late and Coach Ukai was pushing them a bit harder, Sugawara became a bit energized after showering and walking a bit faster to get to your place. After your first-year together, you decided to copy your house key and give it to him. Arriving to your place, he opened the door and knocked off his shoes, greeting your parent as they told him you were sleeping, as usual. 

“I was lazy to cook, Sugawara-kun. So, I ordered you guys pizza and burgers. Knowing (Y/N), I know they would complain to me if I haven’t bought them fries either. It’s in the living room, so try to wake up that tired kid o’mine to eat. Went straight to sleep when they came home.” Your parent sighed, shaking their head at your behavior. 

Sugawara chuckled. “I’ll bring them down, don’t you worry!”

“I’m positive you will. If it’s you and food, (Y/N) won’t mind at all.” 

The teen went up the stairs and opened your door, switching the lights on as his eyes landed to the barricade of blankets and pillows that shifted a bit. Walking closer, he saw the small exposure of your facial features. Tearing away the blankets, he smiled as he leaned in to pepper your face with soft kisses. The apples of your cheeks, forehead, temples, nose, and lastly, your own lips. 

Stirring, you slowly blinked. 

“Good evening, Sugar. Did you sleep well?” 

You grunted. 

“Come downstairs, there’s food!” 

Two hands shot out from the blankets as you held onto your boyfriend’s shoulders, pulling him down as he yelped. 

“Koushi, you can’t use food against me. I was sleeping.” You said in a tired voice. 

He turned to his side to look at you, lifting his finger and tracing your face, cheeks, nose, arch of your nose, and your lips. You took his hand and intertwined his fingers with yours. With half-lidded eyes, you watched underneath your lashes the pink hue on his face, even the mole near his eye was highlighted. 

“You have to get up, (Y/N).”  “Why.”

“So we can eat and watch anime!”

“Hmm.” You brought the hand you were holding close to your chest, “But I wanna stay here and hold you.” 

Sugawara can be speechless at how flirtatious and bold you can be, even if it was unintentional. But he knows you, and he knows how to play this game. 

Shuffling close, you can feel his body heat, “If you wake up, I can give you some of the answers to the homework. And hand feed you fries.” 

Eyes fully awakened, you smiled cheekily, “You know me so well, Sugarplum.” 

[roanofarcc]

Oh also I forgot to put this but I just realized too with Steve and Will. That Steve wouldn’t treat Will like he’s fragile or make him think he was fragile. I think above all he would actually look up to Will and El for their bravery and how they got through everything. Also lol I also forgot to put this.. with what you said about El and Steve and how they actually realized that they can have other people help them. And the fact that they found it in the exact same people!!! Like ughhh.. feelings. It’s also one of the reasons that I love Steve’s relationship with the kids because he can parallel each and every single one of them even if he doesn’t have the exact same experiences as them. Like we mentioned before his loyalty is just as strong as the kids. His willingness to do anything is strong like with the kids. Also another thing is the ‘friends don’t lie,’ aspect that he sticks to. It’s just gahhh. He fits with every aspect of the kids. And the fact that Steve is also the one to fill in that role and wants to give them some sort of childhood while also treating them as equals and not treating them as inferior. Like the scene with Mike and the kids going to scoops to get into the movies proves it. Like Steve is just ‘seriously again’ and doesn’t get upset at Mike ringing the bell again and just tells them that ‘they’re dead’ which is obviously joking around. So like they’re all comfortable enough to joke around with one another and its really cute. Steve could have easily gotten much more annoyed but instead he just kinda of let’s it slide and is like ‘okay’ and he lets them act like actual kids while also knowing that they’ve grown up and don’t want to be treated like little kids.

ah yes!! I think steve would totally treat all of the kids like they were just his friends while also wanting to protect them, obviously. like he knows those kids are insanely smart and resourceful, and he's just there to do what they need him to do. like there are so many parts of his personalities that align with each kid in a different way, and I really hope they explore some of that this season with max and lucas specifically!!

Drunk (part 3)

More alcohol... but at Tom’s place this time

Tom Holland x Reader

cute cuddly Tom & it couldn’t be me without smutttt 😌

Part one | part two

gif by: @ptrbprkrs 🎥

ping!

Your phone goes off and you’re so glad no one was there to see how quickly you grabbed it. Tom hadn’t left more than ten minutes ago, but when you saw his text you couldn’t help the obnoxious grin that spread across your face.

‘miss me yet?’

You were about to respond when another message popped up on your screen.

‘I’ve gotta do some press stuff now, but I’m having a get together later. Will I see you there?’

You let out a little squeal, a get together? You exhale, trying to think of a reply.

‘Hmmm will Harrison be there? 👀’

You were joking but as soon as you sent it you regret it. Ughhh were you close enough to play around like that? What if he thought you were serious....

‘Yes, but I thought you’d be coming for me 😔😂‘

‘I’m def coming for you Tom ❤️, I’ll see tonighttttt’

Now...what the hell should you wear?

You try not to overthink about tonight, doing anything you could to distract yourself. Chores you’d procrastinated about for weeks got done between then and when Tom texts you again. Just an address, and a ‘come whenever love!’ You’d shaved your legs, done your makeup and all. Cause why not? If you stay ready, you don’t have to get ready. You grab your keys, and put in the location.

The drive feels like forever, was your outfit too much? Too little? You shake yourself out of it when you pull up. Theres a few cars outside and you can hear music from inside. You pull out your phone, about let Tom know you’re here when a familiar face pulls the door open and waves to you. You smile and walk up, hugging Harrison.

“Y/N! I’m so glad you came, come in!” He invites you inside and the place is much homier than you expected. You felt comfortable. Harrison leads you to the living room where everyone was, all laughing with beers in hand. “Y/N!” Tom calls when he see you, standing up and giving you a hug. Your heart pounds as soon as you lay eyes on him. He looked, as always. “Harrison showing you around? You’re supposed be my guest..” he jokes, giving Harrison a glare. The blonde holds up his hands in surrender, “I’ll grab you a drink!” He calls walking to what you assume is the kitchen.

“Let me introduce you, these are my brothers Harry and Sam. Sam’s girlfriend Elysia, my best mate Tuwaine and his girl Audrey” he speaks and you do your best to remember everyone he’s said. “Y/N I’ve heard more about you in a few hours than I have about any girl Toms liked...ever” Harry laughs and Tom slaps his arm.

“It’s so nice to meet you, you’re gorgeous!” Elysia comes up and embraces you. You could tell you’d like her a lot, “Thank you, so are you! I love your hair” you compliment her back.

Harrison comes back with not just a drink for you, but a tray of shot glasses and an entire bottle of Hennessy. “Oh you tryna get fucked up?” Tuwaine rubs his hands together. “Absolutely, and I have a game!” He replies, setting the alcohol on the table and pouring a round of shots for everyone.

“What game!” You ask excitedly, you hadn’t had a night like this in long time. “Never have I ever!” He exclaims, pulling out his phone. Harry groans, “what are we; 12?” He asks, leaning back in his chair. “Don’t be a party pooper, it’ll be fun” Audrey pipes up.

“Alright, so it’s just a regular game of never have I ever. Expcepttttt, you take a shot for everything you’ve done” Harrison explains.

“You alcoholic, always bringing liquor into things” Tom laughs, “and birds of a feather flock together” Harrison quips back. Tom turns on the T.V, and Harrison AirPlays the game to the screen. “Eighteen and up?” Sam asks, raising an eyebrow and Elysia shrugs.

Tom grabs your hand and pulls you to sit down with him in a chair that was meant for one person. Halfway on his lap, and his arms wrapped around your waist. You didn’t mind the position though, looking down and giving him a quick smile. “Okay fuckers, round one!” Harrison shouts.

‘Never have I ever been arrested’

You all look around the room, no one drinks except Elysia. “What?!” Sam looks at her, and she laughs. “Well technically I wasn’t arrested, but I got put in the back of a cop car for disturbing the peace when I was totally wasted” she explains. “Got yourself a real wild child there Sam” Harry jokes.

‘Never have I ever had a threesome’

The next one causes a round of “ooo”s and you blush taking a shot, and so does Harrison. Tom shifts beneath you. “Really?” He asks, surprised and you nod. “No way, what happened?” Harry asked and you can’t believe you’re talking about this with people you’ve just met. “Like two years ago, a favor for a friend” you say as casually as possible. “Hey Y/N, I need a favor” Harrison laughs and Tuwaine speaks up, turning to the blonde “When the fuck did you have a threesome Mr. Bitches?”

“Favor for a friend” Harrison mocks you, and you roll your eyes with a giggle.

‘Never have I ever had sex in public’

Everyone takes a shot on that one, shaking your heads at each other.

You don’t know how long the game goes on, the eight of you drinking until the Hennessy was empty.

“Wow, our parents would be so disappointed” Tom smirks, “An absolute bunch of heathens” you agree, leaning into Tom.

“Movie time!” Harry suggests, turning on Netflix. Tom groans, “No way, I’m so tired” You feel bad, he’d worked earlier and now he had to entertain you. “Tom, I don’t think I can drive home” you admit and he laughs. “So come to bed with me, love” he offers so smoothly, how could you say no?

“Y/N and I are gonna call it a night, we’ll see you all in the morning” he stands, never letting go of your waist. You wave and say your goodbyes. You follow Tom up the stairs and to his room. It felt so intimate, walking through his house; to go to sleep in his room...in his bed? “Tom I really don’t want to be a burden, I can call an Uber. It’s no problem” you blurt out, and he turns to face you with a frown.

“Do you want to leave?” He asks, and you immediately shake your head. “No! I just-“ you start but he cuts you off.

“Then stay”

Walking into his room you almost feel like you’re dreaming. It’s just like him, quaint and cozy. Splashes of color and pieces of him scattered everywhere. “I have a shirt you can wear” he offers and you smile, taking it. “You can change in the bathroom...or out here. It’s up to you” he shrugs, wiggling his eyebrows at you. “The bathroom works great” you laugh, walking past him.

You change into Toms shirt, and it smells of him. You wash your face and throw your hair into a ponytail before walking back into his room. Tom lets out a whoosh of air at the sight of you. Fuck, you looked good in his clothes he thought to himself. “I could stare at you day you know?” He tells you, eyes never leaving you as you climb into his bed. “Oh yeah?” You question, watching him, watch you. “Yeah. You look delicious. Good enough to eat” he says, pulling off his own shirt, and then his jeans.

“So do you” you bite your lip. “Nah, you look better. And I just keep wondering...what you taste like” he whispers, climbing Into the bed, on top of you. You tilt your chin up, lips pursed and ready to kiss him. He just stares down at you, arms holding him above you. “You’re so beautiful Y/N” and finally he kisses you. You moan against his mouth, the buzz from the alcohol making it even more enjoyable.

He pulls your lip between his teeth, biting down and you lift your hips to grind against him. “Y/N I’m trying to go slow” he laughs breathily. “Fuck slow, I’ve been wanting this since morning” you whine. “Me too, darling” he grumbles, tongue dragging down the side of your neck. He uses his free hand to reach under the t-shirt, and pulls down your panties. “Can I?” He asks, finger tracing up and down between the folds of your pussy.

“Tom, you can do anything you want to me” you moan, hands coming up to play with your tits. “Anything?” He breathes, rubbing circles on your clit, and you nod. Your eyes falls shut, just taking the pleasure he gave you. But they open when you feel the bed shift under his weight. When you look down, and see him positioned between your legs your head falls back.

“Can’t wait to taste you...” he smirks, wrapping his hands around the insides of your thighs. He leans down, and you grip the sheets when his tongue runs against the most sensitive part of you. “Oh shit, Tom” you call out, and he hums against you. He licks your clit, tongue working diligently against the sensitive nub. He applies more pressure, and you gasp when he slips a finger in your pussy. “Tom!” You squirm against his face but he holds you steady. You feel yourself getting close, and Tom can tell.

He pushes in another finger, curling them inside of you and you reach down to put your fingers in his hair. He moves his fingers faster, and you tug at the short brown locks. He looks up at you, mouth still attached to your pussy and you feel like you could faint. “I’m gonna fucking cum Tom” you warn, and he only works harder. His lips wrap around your clit and suck, pushing you over the edge.

Your eyes roll back, legs clenching around his head as you cum. You pant, hands trying to lift his head but he licks you through your orgasm. Your legs are twitching when he finally comes up, face glistening with your wetness.

“Delicious, just like I thought” he kisses you before laying down at your side. You’re still breathless when you speak, confused. “What are you doing? Don’t you wanna....you know” you trail off, biting your lip at him.

In runs a hand through his hair and takes a deep breath. “Actually, I...I don’t want this to be just about sex. I really like you Y/N. And I was hoping we could wait for that?” He says and you blink at him. Was he serious? You can’t help but glance down at the very evident erection in boxers but you nod.

“I like you too Tom. We don’t have to wait, if that’s all you’re worried about. But if that’s what you want, that’s what we’ll do” you assure him and he grins at you.

“Okay, good. Thank you” he sighs, cuddling up into your side.

You were just starting to drift off when you hear him,

“Want me to eat you out again?”

[pokemonswshfics]

hello👉👈 would you write an Miloxreader? In wich the reader is good friends with Nessa, Milo falls for Reader but is too shy so the gym leaders (don’t Need to involve all of them) try to get them on a date 💛💛

hello anon 💞! of course i would, here you go! :D i hope i got your prompt right; have a good read everyone ^-^ <3

Milo × Reader || Crush Oneshot (Sfw)

You walked down the ramp of the boat that had brought you to Galar, now your new home. The port was full of people boarding boats and getting off them.

"Hey! Over here!" You heard someone loudly speaking, and turned your head towards them. It was Nessa, your longtime friend you'd be staying with until you could get your own place. You grinned and waved before hesitating as you noticed the men and young boy around her. The tall, dark one had a hoodie which you could only assume was made to resemble a dragon's stomach. The young boy was being held by a man with long white and black hair, who looked like he hadn't had sleep in years. The boy had a mask over his face, and suspenders you raised an eyebrow at.

To Nessa's left, stood a slightly pale man with pink hair. He was conversing with the first man you noticed, so you silently thanked Arceus that he didn't notice your stare. As you walked to Nessa you tried looking at anywhere other than him.

"Glad you made it here safe." Nessa walked up to you and wrapped you in a hug which you returned.

She kept an arm around you as she led you back to the guys. "Alright, guys. Be cool. This is my friend from Kanto, don't be weird. It's their first time here in Galar. Y/n, these are the other gym leaders. We have.."

"Raihan." She gestured to the tall dark one in the hoodie, who flashed a grin at you. You noticed a fang in his teeth and smiled back.

"Piers- and Allister. It was Piers' turn to babysit. Allister's a gym leader too." Piers was speaking with the other, still unnamed male. Allister turned towards you slightly and lifted his hand to wave. You were about to greet him back but he turned to Piers' shoulder again. Piers nodded his head at you as he finished the conversation.

"And..Milo." Nessa gestured to the last one, who you finally made eye contact with. His eyes widened, his mouth slightly opened.

"H-Hi." Milo said after a few seconds and held out his hand to shake yours. You took it and smiled at him, a dorky grin now showing up on his face.

"Alright, you can let go, Milo." Nessa snickered and took one of the bags from you as you finally let go of Milo's hand.

"Right! Sorry." He stepped back and rubbed the back of his neck, looking away at the other boats.

"Hope you don't mind, they wanted to help you move in. Rai, help me with this." Nessa gestured to your suitcase you had been wheeling behind you. He reached for it and you handed it to him, thanking Raihan in the process.

Nessa then led you to her home, the guys following along.

Every so often, you would glance to Milo and smile.

Almost every time, he was glancing to you too.

***

"You totally got the hots for Nessa's friend." Raihan grinned. "It's obvious, just ask 'em out already!"

It had been a few weeks since your first meeting, but it hadn't been your only one. Milo would often hang out with the other gym leaders solely in hopes of seeing you.

Milo, Raihan, and Piers were walking around Hammerlocke. They had more casual wear as to not be bothered too much, or given that much attention.

"How?" Milo groaned and ran his fingers through his hair. "I don't have the guts for it, they're just so.." He sighed dreamily and he could feel a blush creeping up on his cheeks.

"Dude, just say it. It's so obvious you like y/n, just tell 'em already." Piers bluntly replied.

"It's not that easy. They're from Kanto, they're- ughhh. Everything they do is so cool, what if there's cool people waiting in Kanto for them? How do I compete with that? And don't even get me started on how cute they are. Have you guys ever seen someone from Galar look that good?"

"Everyday in the mirror." Raihan quickly answered.

As they walked, Milo kept going on and on.

"And I don't like them either. I just think they're nice." He finally huffed out and walked away with pink cheeks, having reached the station to go back to Turffield.

"We're gonna help him, right?"

"Yeah, no shit."

***

"Is Milo coming over soon?" You asked loudly, peeking your head out of your room.

"Yeah! And Piers, and Rai. Why?" Nessa called back from the kitchen.

You grinned and walked out of your room, heading to Nessa. "No reason, I just think Milo's cute."

This quickly caught Nessa's attention and she turned from the fridge which she was standing at. Her eyes were slightly widened.

"I think it's cute, how he gets..he's so easy to make blush, and he has the cutest freckles too." You blushed a little as you sat down at the counter then looked up at Nessa, who was smirking. "What?"

"Nothing, nothing."

"I wanna see if he might ask me out soon- not that I like him. He's just nice looking. Goodness, his muscles too-" You rested your cheek on your open palm and continued. "He could snap me in half and I would thank him!"

Nessa snorted, "Calm down! I'm sure everything will turn out fine, stop drooling over him on my counter. Are you hungry by the way? I can make something for us."

You nodded and continued thinking of him as you got up from the counter and left, not noticing Nessa taking out her phone. She opened it and immediately went to a groupchat she had with Raihan and Piers.

Nessa: Hey. Y/n totally likes Milo.

Piers: That's good, Milo never shuts up about 'em.

Raihan: ha , ur gonna have to make milos dead body ask them out

Piers: I hate how you type so much.

Nessa: Guys!! I have an idea, but you'll both have to do ABSOLUTELY nothing.

Raihan: fine w me

Nessa continued typing away, constantly bringing both males back to her idea because their attention kept going back to Raihan's typing. She grinned, knowing you had no idea what waited.

***

You stepped out of a flying taxi at Turffield's Pokemon Center. Nessa told you to put on clothes you were comfortable and felt good in, and that she would catch up later when she was ready. It was already nighttime but you didn't mind.

Nessa told you that you would all be meeting in Milo's flower fields. The thought of finally seeing it in person excited you, you always saw Milo's work online and his plants and farm in general looked beautiful. You smiled a little and walked faster in the farm's direction.

Once you got to the fence you saw Milo almost instantly. He was in casual wear too, wearing a dark green hoodie, black jeans and normal black shoes. The simplicity of his clothing and how good he managed to look in it made you shyly grin.

"Hey! Glad you could come!" Milo walked over to the fence and opened the gate part to let you in. You two now stood inside, in front of the gate and facing Turffield.

"You look good." You said once he was turned away from you again, looking down at the fence.

"Th-Thank you. You look really good too!" He rubbed the back of his neck then realized what he said. "Not that you said I look really good- I just meant, you look good. Better than me! Or probably anyone!" He rambled and now shoved his hands in his hoodie pocket, flustered.

You giggled then stood in comfortable silence with Milo for a few minutes, often exchanging smiles.

"Shouldn't they be here by now..?" Milo finally asked. He looked around with a confused expression and took out his phone. He held it up so you could see as well, and you both stepped closer to one another.

Milo: Hey, where are you guys?

Raihan: got stuck babysitting al , TOTALLY forgot it was my turn today lol

Piers: Emergency sibling movie night.

Nessa: I have to do some stuff that came up at the gym.

Milo: So you guys aren't coming?

Raihan: no sirrrr

Piers: No.

Nessa: Sorry, but no.

You and Milo paused for a few moments and just stared at his screen. Then you felt your phone vibrate in your pocket. You took it out then saw a notification from Nessa.

Ness: Have fun on your date, thank me later. ;)

You blushed and grumbled, then took a slight step away from Milo so he wouldn't see you typing, 'This isn't a date!' as a reply.

Milo stared at the texts he now got from Piers and Raihan.

Piers: Since you couldn't do it, we set it up for you. Good luck on your date.

Rai: LMFAO ur welcome dude

Milo's face flushed as he also began to send a text of protest that it wasn't a date.

"Hey, since they aren't coming- I can go. Really." You stated and pointed your finger to the gate sheepishly. You put your phone in your pocket and smiled meekly at him.

"No, that's fine! I..actually really want you to stay." He also put his phone away and smiled shyly. "I wanna know you better, you're Nessa's friend but I want you to be my friend too."

His words made your face flush, the thought of being his anything made you have to suppress a grin.

"You're right..I wanna know you better too, Milo. And uh- what better way than to-" You finally made eye contact with him and you swore you could have felt your heart stop. "Spend more time together?"

Milo couldn't help himself, he grinned the same dorky grin from the day you first met. "Yeah! I'll show you the fields, and don't worry about getting dirty. The Wooloo and just about everything else are already in their stalls- they won't bother us."

As he finished speaking, you nodded. "I'd love to see the fields."

"Come on, and be careful going up the hill over here. Uh- actually-" Milo now held out his hand to you. "If you're fine with it that is!" His blush came back, and you stared with warm eyes at him.

"I am!" You giggled then took his hand in your own.

He gave you a small and shy smile, now leading you up the trail in comfortable silence.

You grinned in secret and continued to say in your head that this wasn't a date. You and Milo were becoming friends, and this was normal. However, there was a small voice in your head saying this was a date.

After a few minutes of walking the trail, giggles with Milo, occasionally squeezing his hand and getting the action in return, you didn't disagree silently to the voice anymore.

Thank you for reading! I hope you all enjoyed, my requests are always open! just might be a wait 💕 - 🥝

The Misadventures of Secret Santa

Kirishima Eijiro X Reader (Did I mention I reallly love to write for Kirishima…)

 Warnings: None

 Genre: Pure Fluff, soo much cute fluff. There is literally one line of veryyyyyyyy mild Angst, that is all then straight back to fluff.

 Summary: You bought Kirishima two gifts for Christmas, one genuine one for class 1a’s Secret Santa because you pulled his name. And the other a gag gift that was part of an inside joke between the two of you. You realized you brought the wrong one to the Christmas party at the exact moment you gave it to him, and it was a very embarrassing gift.

 A/N: I had an increasing amount of wine while writing this, please forgive any spelling or grammatical errors.

         You swept open the heavy curtain for what seemed like the millionth time. You and the girls from your class had planned to spend the day Christmas shopping. What you didn’t expect was Mina making you try on every single item of clothing that caught your eye. Even though you were going to buy yourself something new to wear for the Christmas party your class was holding, you weren’t exactly excited to spend hours trying on outfits.

 “Y/n! This looks so cute on you!!” Mina squealed, excitedly jumping up and down next to you.

 “It is a very beautiful dress,” Momo said.

 You looked at yourself in the mirror and you couldn’t disagree. It was a mid-length black dress, that flared out slightly at your waist. The top was fitted and sleeveless with a mock neck. The dress was simple but very flattering on you. “I think you guys are right,” You said turning to them, “I’m going get this one.”

 “Are you going to wear it for the party? It would look so classy I think” Momo spoke again with a finger on her chin. “I saw some simple necklaces that would pair well with it near the front of the store too.”

 “Yeah, I am planning on wearing it for the party. We’ll see though because I always seem to change my mind right before.” You said moving back into the dressing room to change into your clothing.

 “Did you find a gift for your secret Santa yet?” Mina asked once you pulled the curtain back again.

 You shook your head and laughed, that was the whole purpose of the day and you forgot.

 “Shoot, not yet. I completely forgot because someone started shoving me into every item of clothing they found.”

 “I wonder who that could be.” Mina grinned and you shoved her laughing again. “Okay, I’ll help you look around.”

 “Whose name did you pull?” Momo asked, “Mine is Sato, and I know exactly what I’m looking for. A nice white tea variety that pairs well with his baked goods!”

 “That’s perfect Momo,” Mina said and started to dig through the basket in her hands. She looked around for a second then pulled out a light purple record player. “I got Jirou, doesn’t this fit her so well. I think I am going to get her a couple of records too. What about you, Y/n?”

 Both girls’ gifts were picked so well for their Secret Santas, you didn’t know if you could top

it.

 “I pulled Kirishima.” You said quietly, blushing slightly when they gasped. Just a couple of weeks ago you had spilled your secret crush on Kirishima to the girls in a game of never have I ever.

 “Ooooh, Y/n this is going to be so exciting!”

Momo had offered the idea of a girl’s night one Friday after classes had ended. Of course, everyone had agreed right away, it had been a while since you all had hung out without the boys in your class. It wasn’t like the boys were annoying or not fun to spend time with, it was just sometimes it was nice to get away from all the testosterone and have a night to gossip without fear of any of the boys hearing juicy secrets.

 The night started with Mina begging Ochako to let her do her makeup. It didn’t take that much convincing; Mina was good at doing other’s makeup. Everyone was crammed into

Mina’s dorm room; she had insisted it everyone stay the night in hers.

 It wasn’t long before someone had thrown out the idea to play never have I ever. You guys played a different version of the game though. One person would say something they’d never done, and then the whole group would vote on one person out of everyone who had done the thing to do a dare.

 “Hmmm never have I ever…… gave myself a haircut,” Tsu said. Only Ochako and Hagakure spoke out that they had given themselves a haircut.

 “Wait, Hagakure how did you give yourself a haircut? You’re invisible.” You deadpanned at her, confused. She just laughed at your question.

 “I can see myself, it’s just that others can’t see me.” You always forgot that part of her quirk.

 “Alright, guys, who vote that Ochako should get a dare?” Tsu asked the group, getting everyone’s attention. All but Ochako raised their hands and she groaned. 

 “Ughhh come on, I was on a no dare streak,” Ochako whined. “Okay, what do I have to do?’

 “Ooh! I got one.” Mina said clapping her hands excitedly. “I dare you to text Midoriya goodnight!”

 “What?!” Ochako broke out in a bright blush. “Really?”

 “It’ll be so cute, Ochako!” You said nudging her arm with your elbow, her blush didn’t waver, but she pulled her phone out of her pocket. Her hands were shaking slightly but she had a smile on her face. You couldn’t help but wonder if Midoriya would match her blush when he received the text.

 “Okay, it's done.” She said and it seemed like her smile was a little bigger than before. “Now please someone else go, I need a distraction from my phone.”

 “I will go.” Momo set down her teacup and squinted for a second in thought. “Never have I ever had a crush one someone in our class.”

 Your heart jumped. So far, all the never have I ever were not juicy, the dares were a little bit, but you had been safe. Silence fell in the room and everyone just looked at each other. Ochako sighed again and shook her head.

 “This isn’t fair.” She said and raised her hand to say she had done it. Nobody was surprised at that one.

 Jirou raised her hand slowly too, “You guys already know, I don’t know why I’m so nervous still.”

 Hagakure jumped up and squealed. “I don’t know if I have a crush on anyone but all the boys are just so handsome! Does that count?”

 “No, I don’t think so.” Momo shook her head. “I hope you don’t count Mineta in that one.”

 “No, definitely not Momo.” Hagakure said seriously and sat down.

 You sighed; you had no more time to stall. Putting up your hand slowly trying to not get attention on it, but it failed. It was like all the girls had a radar on you because they all saw you at once.

 “Y/N!” Mina squealed.

 “Oh my goodness, I wasn’t expecting this,” Momo said with her hand to her mouth.

 “You have to tell us who.” Tsu smiled at you.

 “No. I can’t.” You shook your head and picked at your fingernails trying to get them to change the subject.

 “Okay then, I dare you Y/n. Tell us who you like!” Ochako said abruptly.

 “Hey! This is not how the game works.” You said back to her.

 “Does everyone agree on this dare?” Ochako asked looking around gaining a nod from all the girls. You groaned and laid down onto your back grabbing the pillow neck to you covering your face. “C’mon Y/n! You have to.”

 You mumbled into your pillow hoping they would take it as the answer.

 “Nope, not gonna work. You’ve got tell us outright.” Hagakure reached over and tugged on the pillow. Tsu also poked your side to get you to sit up, you yelped and sat up shoving her hands away.

 “Okay fineee. It’s Kirishima.” You mumbled grabbing onto your knees and pulling them close.

 “Did you hear what she said?” Mina asked Ochako, and she shook her head.

 “I didn’t either, Mina.” Momo agreed with them. They all stared at you waiting.

  “Kirishima.” You said louder this time. Just like Ochako, your face erupted in a blush.

“WHAT!?” Mina was the first one to scream.

 It was no doubt everyone was shocked. The two of you were really good friends, he was one of the first ones you had made in the class. He was hilarious and caring the two of you always had fun when you were together. You could say he was nearly your closest friend out of everyone in your class.

        Almost every weeknight you and Kirishima did your homework together, mostly it was you answering his questions and helping him with anything he didn’t understand. You would take breaks periodically, eating dinner together when the class didn’t make a big one, playing video games if you were in his dorm.

 Sometimes others would join your studying and you would take it to one of the common rooms in the building. A lot of times after both of you finished your homework, you’d watch Netflix or a movie, occasionally you’d play board games. It was some of your favorite times to spend with him.

 Kirishima told you one time after finishing your homework pretty late when you were watching his favorite Anime together that he loved to cuddle. You could tell that he was getting very tired, and so were you.

 “I didn’t want to say anything too soon because I didn’t know if you liked that. But I love to cuddle. Especially when I get really tired, it's my favorite thing to do.” He told you and yawned.

 “What do you do when you can’t cuddle with anyone? Do you spoon your pillows?” You laughed when he shoved your shoulder slightly.

 “Actually yes, I do.” You burst out laughing at his answer, he started laughing too. “Hey, don’t knock it till you try it Y/n.” He defended himself and pointed at his pillows. “It's comfortable snuggling into them.”

 “Okay, I trust you.” You said after shaking your head, and you noticed him staring at you with literally almost puppy dog eyes. “Do you want to cuddle, Kiri?” 

 “Oh my gosh, yes. I thought you’d never ask.” He immediately wrapped his arms around you and pulled you to him, leaning back into the wall behind you. You wrapped your arms around his waist and laid your head on his shoulder. Kirishima was right, it was very comfortable. Especially he was, you had thought that he’d be kind of hard considering his quirk and his muscles, but he was incredibly good at cuddling.

 “Kiri, you’re so comfy.” You said after a few minutes, and you felt his arms squeeze you closer.

 “So are you. It’s so nice to have someone to cuddle with that’s not a pillow.” You laughed again and he rested his chin on your head lightly, “You think we could work this into our

homework routine?”

 “Yes. Every night.”

 “What if we’re studying with someone else?” He asked and you moved to look up at him.

 “Hmmm, pretend we’ve never studied before so then we can just cuddle instead.” You said and cuddled back into him.

 You could feel his chest vibrate when he laughed at your answer, “Okay, that works for me.”

      The girls made you spill everything after your dare. They completely ditched the game and started asking you questions. You told them about the cuddling and the homework nights. About the times Kirishima had helped you train your quirk. The girls didn’t spare any questions at all.

 “So when did you realize you had a crush on him?” Momo asked.

 You had to think for a second. “Maybe it first happened when we started to cuddle, but I don’t think I realized it until a little bit ago. I started to get excited to study or train with him. Or spend time with him at all, but then I started feeling nervous too. I think it was butterflies, and one weekend we went shopping together, I don’t know what for but I remember in one of the stores looking at him and I could hear my heartbeat. Kirishima was so cute, he was looking at Crimson Riot merch and he was so excited about finding something new. I’d say I realized that day, that I liked him.”

 “Oh my god. Y/n that is so cute I could die!” Hagakure squealed and Ochako hugged you laughing. Soon after that everyone decided to go to sleep for the night, the excitement had worn everyone down and it had gotten very late, it was past midnight.

 You curled up in your sleeping bag and picked up your phone. You had put it on silent so it wouldn’t annoy any of the girls during the games you played. A few notifications were on the screen, and you saw Kirishima texted you.

 The first one said, “Hey! A new season of my favorite Anime was just released!”

 Almost immediately after that a second one he sent read, “Whoops I forgot you’re having a girls night. Sorry! Have fun.”

 A couple of hours later he sent a final one, it was a picture of his pillows along with a text, “I miss cuddling with you, my pillows don’t laugh at my jokes :( Goodnight y/n, see you tomorrow!”

 He was so cute you thought you were going to melt.

       The night of the Christmas party came faster than you expected, your last present for Kirishima finally arrived that morning and you barely had any time to pick it up after classes ended. The whole day went by in a blur, and you were left with just enough time to get ready and wrap the presents. You had gotten Kirishima two because you couldn’t resist once you saw the second one.

 The gift for the Secret Santa was a nice gift, and you were excited to give it to him. The other one you were going to hold off until after the party, it was a little bit out there, but you knew he’d find it hilarious.

 After wrapping the gifts, you got ready. It didn’t take long until you did the finishing touches to your hair and makeup, then you put on the dress you bought with Mina and Momo. Then you thought maybe you wanted to wear something else. That caused you to change in and out of four different outfits several times, it was almost time to go down for the party.

 Kirishima had texted you before you got ready if you wanted to go down to it with him since both of your dorms were luckily on the same floor. Of course, you said yes, you were excited. But because of your rushed idea to change outfits at the last second, you missed his text saying he was outside your door, and you also didn’t hear him knock on it either. You finally picked the first dress you put on and as you started to pull it up, your door opened. You froze when you locked eyes with Kirishima as he stepped into the room. After a second of staring his brain registered what he saw, and his hands flew up to cover his face.

 “Oh my god, I am so sorry!” He exclaimed, turning around and you yanked the dress up, trying to zip it in the process. “I texted you and knocked, but I got no answer, so I got worried!”

 “No! It’s okay! It’s my fault I missed it.” You tugged at your zipper again, but it stuck in place. You paused for a second and kicked yourself, if you hadn’t switched your dress a thousand times you wouldn’t be in this, and Kirishima wouldn’t feel guilty. “Um, Kirishima?” Your voice cracked at your nervousness.

 “Yeah?” He said, still facing the other way.

 “Can you help me with my zipper, I got it stuck.” You could feel your face burning as you asked him.

 “Oh, um, yeah.” He stood facing the wall for a second, “Can I turn around now?”

“Mhmm.”

  “Okay, let me help you.” He took his hands away from his face and turned around. You spun around once he got to you, you didn’t want him to see your face flushed. The warmth of his hands went through the thin fabric at your waist and you shivered at it. He was so gentle pulling the zipper loose from where it was stuck and pulling it up all the way, being careful to move your hair out of the way. “All done.”

 You smiled and turned to face him; the blush felt less than before. Hopefully, he didn’t hear your heart racing now though. “Thank you. I’m sorry for before, I should’ve looked at my phone. I didn’t mean to make you uncomfortable.”

 “Hey,” Kirishima grabbed your tense shoulders and smiled softly, “It’s not your fault, it was mine.” He pulled into him and wrapped his arms around you. All the awkwardness drained

from your body at the hug. “I hope I didn’t make you uncomfortable.”

 You laughed and hugged him back, “You didn’t, Kiri don’t worry.”

He squeezed your shoulders and brought his head close to your ear and whispered. “Good,

because you looked really good, Y/n. So beautiful.”

 Chills went down your body and you felt your blush come back. Kirishima pulled back like it was nothing and walked to the door. He opened it and held out his hand towards you.

 “Wanna go to the party now that we’re all dressed?”

 You couldn’t believe what just happened, but Kirishima’s grin towards you caused you to giggle. “Okay, yeah let’s go.” Grabbing his hand, you began to leave your dorm. At the last second, you remembered the gift you were supposed to bring and you quickly grabbed it before you left.

     The party went by very smoothly, the food was so good, and the decorations were fantastic. Bakugo and Sato prepared dinner along with a few other classmates. Momo, Jirou, and Sero had put up the decorations. Everyone went through a game of Candy Cane Olympics, Bakugo was the winner and he had nearly trampled Midoriya for the title. Kaminari and Jirou won the Karaoke competition. It was nearly time for everyone to pass out presents.

 You were so excited to give Kirishima his gift. You had been getting butterflies the entire time, especially every time you caught him staring at you and then one time that he winked while smirking. It was a good thing you were sitting down for that one, it hit you hard. You were not expecting it, but it was a good surprise.

 After a bit you sat on one of the couches by the tree with a few of your classmates, setting your gift on the table next to you. Not long after you did, Kirishima came up and plopped onto the couch next to you. Immediately he put his arm around your shoulders and squeezed you close to him.

 “You’re so warm, did you swap quirks with Todoroki?” You asked quietly, nestling into his side.

 “Hah, maybe I did on accident.” Kirishima laughed.

 “Good, I like it warm.” You said.

 “Oh, you like his quirk? Are you cuddling with someone else?” He pretended to be shocked.

 “Maybe… You didn’t know?” You feigned innocence, “Dang, I thought this was a multi-person cuddle thing. My bad.”

 Kirishima moved his mouth close to your ear, whispering deeply “Well, we’ll have to change that, won't we? I don’t like to share.”

 Before you could say anything back to him you caught Mina staring at you grinning and nudging Jirou. That couldn’t be good.

 “Okay, everyone! It’s time for Secret Santa exchange!” All your classmates started moving excitedly, and you were confused when Kirishima didn’t move.

 “Don’t you have a gift for someone?” You asked him.

 “Oh, yeah I had Tsu. I gave her my gift for her earlier this week. It was a couple of really cool wool sweaters I found, and it got really cold this week I figured she could use them.”

 “Awe, you are such a sweetheart. Who would’ve known Kiri.” You laughed at his fake offended face.

 “I am hurt that you think so little of me, Y/n.” Kirishima laughed.

 “I’m just kidding, you’re the nicest person I know.” You said and his expression softened.

 “Shouldn’t you give your gift out? I don’t want to be keeping you stuck here.” He started to get off the couch. You grabbed his arm, stopping him from moving.

 “I got you for Secret Santa.” You grabbed the present from the table beside you and handed it to him.

 “Awe really?! That’s so cool, y/n.” He smiled at you and looked down to the present in his hands, then it hit you, you grabbed the wrong gift. The one that was meant for him to open in front of everyone during the party was up in your dorm still. The present he was holding was bigger and more square than the actual gift. You had given him the gag gift, the inside joke one. Your stomach dropped to the floor. You must’ve grabbed the wrong one when you hurried out of the door.

 “Wait! Kirishima, don’t open that.”

 “What do you mean, of course I’m going to open it.” He didn’t waste a second and tore into the green wrapping paper. This was going to be embarrassing. It didn’t take long at all for him to open the gift at all. Your nerves were soaring when he finally turned it over to the front side.

 “Oh my god, Y/n…..” Kirishima said staring at the gift. It was a pillow. You wished that was the only thing, but the pillowcase over it was the best part of the gift. It was black, and a picture of you in the middle of it. You held up peace signs and your tongue stuck out. The words ‘hug me’ under the picture of you. He was so quiet, you realized he probably hated it.

 “I’m so sorry! That wasn’t the right gift… I-“

 Kirishima cut you off, with a loud bark of laughter. “Holy crap this is amazing! How did you even do this?”

 You looked at him in shock. “What?”

 “Y/n this is so fricking cool, now I can sleep with you every night!” He said very excitedly. That gained your classmate's attention. Mina stared at you with wide eyes and your cheeks flamed. You jumped up and grabbed his hand pulling him up.

 “Follow me.” You said quickly and rushed towards the elevators.

 “Where are we going?” Kirishima laughed trying to keep up with you.

 Once you made it to the floor of your dorms, you went straight to yours. “When we had our little incident earlier I grabbed the wrong gift. I got you that one to give to you in private.”

 “Oh, you don’t want others to know about our cuddle sessions.” He said smirking.

 “That’s not it at all,” You spoke coming to your door and going it. Kirishima followed you, still holding onto the pillow. You were glad that he didn’t leave it on the couch next to him.

 “When I pulled your name for the Secret Santa I was a little disappointed.” His smile faltered a bit, “No! Not like that, I just was excited to get you something special for Christmas. I wanted you to open that in private because it is really special to me. The time you spend with me.”

 “Y/n,” He said softly and walked closer toward you. “I know, it is really special to me too.”

Your chest warmed when he said that. You reached to grab his other gift. “This was the one I wanted you to open for the Secret Santa. I think you’ll really like it, but I didn’t want you to think I just got you something because I pulled your name, Kiri.”

 He took the gift from your hands, looking at you before opening it. His hands were so gentle pulling apart the wrapping paper, very different than downstairs. The first thing he saw was the manga set of his favorite anime the two of you had watched every night together.

 “Wow, thank you.” He said smiling up at you.

 “There’s something else, open the little box.” You said the butterflies in your stomach had flown to your heart now. Kirishima slowly took the lid off the white box. You heard him gasp slightly when he saw what it was. Inside the box were two things, a necklace, and a small keychain. “The keychain is the first-ever merch for Red Riot.”

 He looked stunned. “How did you get this?” His voice was so soft, and quiet.

 “A few months ago right after your first patrol with Fatgum that went viral, I looked up to see if you had merch. There was a preorder for a small company that produces Fatgum’s and Suneater’s merch. It was this keychain, I bought it right away.”

 The key chain was the R from his hero costume. It was red, there was a thin outline of black and an outline of white around the R. Inside the R was his name and hero name.

 “I didn’t know if you’d be interested in it, but there are matching keychains of Fatgum and Suneater. I got them too for you if you want them.’

 Kirishima ran his hand around the R, admiring the keychain. “Y/n. This is perfect. I can't even tell you how much I love it. What’s the necklace? Is it merch too?”

 “Oh. No, I made that one. My mom helped me with it, she makes jewelry.” You said you could feel tears pricking the back of your eyes at his reaction. “I, um. It’s made out of ruby beads, and black chain.”

 It was a necklace with a black chain, in the middle was a red RR pendant, on each side of it were three glass black beads.

 “I wanted you to have something else that no one would have. Something only from me. Because both you and Red Riot are one of the most important people in my life.” You whispered; your hands were starting to shake from the butterflies fluttering wildly inside you. “I have a matching one too. It’s a bracelet though, so it’s not the exact same.”

 You took the bracelet out of the bowl on your nightstand, showing him.

Kirishima was completely quiet for a moment, just staring at the necklace. You began to get worried.

 “Kiri? Do you like it?” He didn’t answer your questions. “You don’t have to keep it! I can take it back if you don’t like it. I’m so sorry, I shouldn’t-“

 You were interrupted when his hands softly grabbed your face. Then he kissed you. It was slow at first, you were caught off guard. When you realized what was happening you kissed him back. His arms moved to wrap around your waist, and he deepened the kiss. You could feel your flush. Your arms moved on their own and wrapped around his neck, once buried in his hair, the Santa hat on his head fell to the floor.

 He pulled back very slightly for a breath and went back in for a kiss again. It was breathtaking and you felt like you were floating. After a few more seconds you pulled back to breathe. Kirishima rested his head against your forehead. His red eyes staring into yours, the butterflies in your bodies felt like they were breaking free.

 “Y/n. Don’t ever apologize for a gift again.” He said pulling you to sit on the edge of your bed.

 “Do you like it?” You asked hopefully.

 “I am not kidding when I say this is the best gift I have ever gotten in my life. I can’t even believe you got all this for me. There are so many meanings within these few things. I love them.” He cupped your face again and reached for something in his pocket. It was a small white box with your initials on the left corner of it.

 You took it from him when he held it out to you. “What is this?”

 “So, I don’t have the skills to make you something special, and also you don’t have any merch out yet. Sorry, this is awkward…” He laughed and rubbed his neck.

 “Hey, no it’s okay.” You said, moving your free hand and placing it on his cheek. You opened the box, inside was a ring. In the middle of it was a small gemstone of your birth month, on each side was a small clear crystal. Tears pricked your eyes once again, “Kiri..” You whispered you took it out of the box and it was a perfect fit. You looked up at him once again, “I love it. Thank you!”

 “Y/n, you are so welcome. You deserve so much more than I can give you right now.” You leaned in to hug him and he returned it immediately. His large arms wrapping around you, warming your whole body. When you both pulled away he grinned at you, “I also got you a year membership for your favorite café, it’s one drink or food item free a day but I think it’s worth it.” He laughed and laced his fingers through your hand. “I want to take you there for the first day though.”

 You waited a second before you got the courage, “Kiri?”

 “Yeah?”

 “Do you want to go there as a date?” You could practically see the butterflies from your stomach in the room now.

 “I was just about to ask that,” He said grinning again, “Are you psychic, y/n.”

 “I am actually, I didn’t think you’d ever find out!” You gasped, Kirishima laughed at your response.

 “I may not be book smart, but I can read you like a book.” He said, “Wait, don’t say anything that didn’t make sense.”

 “I like you so much Kiri, I wanted to tell you for a bit but I didn’t know if you liked me back.” You said looking down at your hands, when he squeezed your hand you looked up again. “But I don’t know how I didn’t see it this whole time, how much you meant to me, and how you feel about me too.”

 “Y/n, I have never felt so many feelings for someone before,” Kirishima said, his eyes seemed to sparkle when you met them. “I care so much about you, more than anyone.”

A huge yawn ripped from your throat breaking the trance the two of you were in. You laughed and stood up, pulling Kirishima along with you. “I’m really happy that you liked my gifts.”

 “I loved them; they were all so special to me in a different way.” He said looking softly at you, “Just like you, y/n. The pillow though was so great where did you even find it?” You just grinned and shrugged at him. He shook his head leaning down to the floor, he grabbed the pillow you gave him. “Can you stay in my room tonight? I really want to cuddle with you right now, more than ever.”

 “Let me change first.” You said smiling at him.

 Without missing a beat, he leaned in placing a kiss on your lips again. You deepened it, grabbing his shirt pulling him closer. After a second, he grabbed your hand and pulled you to the door. “You can wear my clothes, I can’t help myself you’re too cute. He then pulled you out of your room. You left the butterflies behind in your room, no longer nervous just very excited to wake up in his arms, not having to pull yourself from his grasp at the end of the night like before.

[degenerate-otaku]

Au where the androids in trunks time arint evil anymore so the three of them just hang out for the rest of their lives time traveling with trunks to save the day after they realised what their doing is wrong somehow cause we need happier times

Hey! I took this in a slightly different direction since I just go with the flow.

I hope you enjoy it though ♡

******************************************

It had been almost a year since the androids had come to an agreement to end their destruction. In some ways it was an anticlimactic ending to an almost 17 year battle. A part of me still wants to bring Gohan justice by destroying them, but that may just be my Saiyan side. I know that Gohan always did his best to be like his father and forgive others, so maybe he'd understand.

It's been a difficult journey, no doubt about it. To keep the androids happy, as well as the people of earth, who probably have not forgiven 17 and 18 and want nothing more to see them dead, I tend to go out with them, just to make sure there are no problems. The androids have to disguise themselves to not be recognised, which isn't too hard since they are incredibly inconspicuous (apart from 17 perhaps, who seems like the type of kid to be stealing and causing havoc anyway). Usually, it's just a case of them hiding their eyes, since that's how people can recognise them.

“Trunks, you really need to brush up on fashion.” 18 remarked as she sipped at her drink. I snapped out of my thoughts immediately, which often consume me.

“Huh? What do you mean?” I was rather offended by her comment but I kept my face and tone neutral.

“Well...you don't have many outfits...and the ones you do have are...” She looked me up and down and continued, “A little...dated to say the least.”

Before I could respond, 17, who was riding on his skateboard as he slurped at his soda interrupted, “Trunks, you look like that guy from that movie 'Back to the Future'.”

I had no clue on what he meant, since I've never seen that movie, but it seemed like no matter what I would say, they'd always have a comeback.

It had always been like that, so what was I expecting?

“Well, we are right outside a mall.” I knew what she was suggesting immediately.

'How convenient' I thought to myself.

“Sis, your shopping trips take whole days!”

I almost laughed at what 17 had said, but held back.

“Shut up! You spend all day in the arcade like a little kid! Plus, you need new clothes too!” 18 poked her brother in the chest, asserting her authority. It's so strange to see 17 shaken like that. As a kid he seemed unmoved by everything, just like his sister.

“Ugh, whatever.” He sighed, throwing the empty cup of soda in the trash.

Strolling casually within the recently rebuilt mall, which my mother helped to fund, 18 finally found a store that she thought had good items for us.

“This place looks lame!” 17 sneered at all the rather classy looking shirts and pants.

“If you're gonna be a brat, go to Hot Topic!” 18 retorted, pointing to the store she was referencing.

“Bitch, I AM the Hot Topic!” 17 loudly declared, walking off. I wasn't sure on how much money he had. The androids liked living large, and still did so, despite my mother not being so pleased about it. She told me once on how it was like she now had three teenage brats but then she realised I was right there and said that I wasn't a brat, though I know I was when I was younger.

“Now that he's out of the way...” 18 sighed, adjusting her hair, before pulling out a shirt from a rack.

“What do you think?” She asked, holding up a blue T-shirt that said something in Japanese.

“See, you gotta stop hiding those muscles! I've seen them up close and I know normal girls will faint over that, especially with your skin tone.”

My cheeks felt hot when she said that and I began to stammer, “W-well..I don't think it's for me...uh, I...don't like showing my arms.” I looked down at the glossy marble floor, and felt her gaze pierce me.

“What, because of those scars?” She scoffed and I looked up at her, not knowing how to react.

“They aren't that bad. Plus...girls like guys who have feelings and have been through stuff.” I didn't get what she meant.

“For a person who hates humans, you sure do understand them.” I don't know why I said that. She frowned and then just moved on, after putting the blue shirt in the basket, whether I liked it or not.

“So...” She tried to steer the conversation back onto clothes, “What do you like wearing anyway?”

“Well...mostly loose, comfortable stuff.” I answered.

“Yeah, like that sweater and pants you used to wear all the time when you were like...what, 13? 14?”

Why had she remembered that?

“Yeah...I have a lot of those kinda outfits.” She walked along to another aisle and I followed, not noticing that there were a few girls looking at me and giggling.

“What made you pick this one? The whole...jacket and vest combo. You wore a similar thing when we beat your ass a year or two ago...wasn't that in the ruins of this mall?”

I felt pain thinking about that. I was a fool, admittedly for going there to try fight them, but I've grown a lot since then.

“Oh...yeah, the light blue jacket and white shirt...uh, I guess I think it looks cool..especially with the sword-”

“Ughhh, what is it with men and their little toys, I've got my brother with his stupid gun, and you with that sword!” She groaned. “They're pointless!”

“Well...technically, my sword has a point-” I smirked.

“Wow, I thought you were incapable of jokes.” She replied, then pulled out a sweatshirt for me. It was a simple grey colour with a logo on it.

“Girls also like guys who dress casual...but that sorta depends. This and some nice loose jeans would look good on you, though you'd need better shoes.” I was rather astonished at how she was able to make so many combinations and knew what would look good on me, but then I realised something.

“Why do you keep trying to find outfits that would attract girls?”

She rolled her eyes at my question.

“Well, c'mon you're almost an adult and you haven't got a girlfriend! Wait...are you gay?”

I blushed hard. “What? Well, I dunno! I haven't really thought about it...”

“I'm just trying to help you find someone.” She smiled, trying to find a price tag on some shoes.

“Wait a sec, I'll ask someone about this.” She left me standing near the basket and as I fixed my hair in while I looked in the mirror, two girls came up to me.

“Hey, uh, you're cute...can I have your number?” One said and I was unsure of what to say. I didn't want to be rude, but I wasn't sure I wanted to talk to them.

“Well, uh, you see-” My brain suddenly seemed to fail me.

“He's taken.” Suddenly, 18 reappeared and out of nowhere kissed me before dragging me by the arm.

“Hey! What was that?!” The kiss was only for a split second but I was so confused.

“Wait, was I your first kiss?” She laughed.

“N-no!” I folded my arms and didn't look at her directly.

“If I didn't know better you wanted it to last longer, hm?”

“WHAT?!” I exclaimed, losing my cool.

“Hey, I'm just messing with you...I just had to get you out of there-” She picked up the basket and walked over to the queue, her hips swaying prominently

“The kiss was unnecessary!”

“You're the first man ever to reject a kiss from me.” She sounded bewildered and I gave up trying.

We exited the store with two bags of clothes and 17 had a bag of his own stuff too.

“So, mind telling me what that was?” 17 inquired and even 18 blushed a little.

"Aww, what an adorable couple!“ He mocked, laughing hard at his own jokes.

”Shut it, bonehead! That meant nothing!“ She scolded him and I don't know why I felt hurt by that.

”I was just trying to make him look good for once, but I really couldn't care less!“ She continued and I wondered if she had even meant what she said about my scars.

For the rest of the day I couldn't stop thinking about that moment. It's stupid of me, I know. I'm so fucking awkward I can't handle a girl talking to me, and when a person I hated growing up does it to me, I want it to happen again, to feel that kinda jolt down my body.

But I guess I won't.
