Joseph's been putting a lot of work into your real estate business, and it's really starting to pay off. You wanted to congratulate him by christening his fancy new desk in his fancy new office, but things don't go according to your plan.

Joseph Joestar x AFAB reader (no female pronouns used, but reader wears feminine clothing)

CW: Semi-public sex, exhibitionism/voyeurism, creampie, Joseph says “cunt” one (1) time 

“It’s impressive,” you admit, leaning in for an almost-kiss.

Instead of closing the distance, Joseph grabs your hands and pulls you up from the couch excitedly, leading you over to the far wall. “You haven’t seen the best part yet,” he teases. “Watch this.”

He reaches up to press a subtly disguised switch, and it becomes apparent that the “wall” is actually a massive floor-to-ceiling window, slowly revealed from behind the dark wood paneling.

“Wow,” you whisper, pressing your hand to the cool glass. Beyond it is the Manhattan skyline, breathtaking from 15 stories up. The brightness of the city obscures most of the stars, but the thousands of twinkling lights and glowing windows are beautiful in their own way. There are people behind some of those windows, you think – working late, or maybe enjoying time with their families. Maybe taking in the view with the person they love most, the way you are now.

Joseph hums a kiss into your hair, wrapping his arms around you from behind. His comforting weight against your back and impish smile reflected in the glass make you feel so warm inside, your heart could burst.

Until one of his hands slips beneath your skirt.

“JoJo!” you gasp, grabbing his wrist. “What are you doing?”

“Oh come on, don’t be coy!” he laughs. “The champagne, the perfume…that skirt, with no nylons underneath.” His smirk is undeniably sexy, but that only makes you more annoyed. “You didn’t come here for a tour of the new office.”

“No, I wanted to celebrate with you!” You pause. “In your new chair, or maybe on top of your new desk. But not in front of a window, Joseph!”

“Why not?” he asks, almost sounding genuinely perplexed.

“Someone could see!”

“Who?” he laughs again. “It’s late. No one’s watching. Even if they were, they would be too far away to see our faces.” Now he’s trailing kisses down the back of your neck, shameless as ever in exploiting your weaknesses. “And besides, I think you like an audience.”

“I-JoJo, what-,” you splutter, scandalized and yet burning at his accusation.

“I noticed last summer at Grandma Erina’s,” he replies, letting his lips brush against your nape. “When Smokey walked in on us. You remember, right?”

How could you forget? Even now, the memory has your insides twisting with a complicated emotion you can’t quite place. Like embarrassment but sharper, hotter. Exciting.

“I’d never seen you make that face before. Not to mention the way you held onto me…and well, held onto me.” Joseph pauses from tormenting your neck to flash you a dirty little grin. “I haven’t been able to stop thinking about it since.”

“O-oh, Joseph, I’m. I don’t know,” you trail off. Immediately his chin comes to rest on top of your head, one arm draped around your shoulders and the other curling soothingly around your waist.

“I’ll do whatever you want me to, baby,” he murmurs. “I only want to make you feel good.”

You take a moment, studying your feelings and Joseph’s gentle (but hopeful) expression. Then you unfasten your skirt.

Immediately Joseph lets go of you with a little whoop and a fist pump before tearing into his shirt and tie.

“God, you’re lucky you’re handsome,” you scold him good-naturedly, giggling a bit at his childishness. You kick the skirt away, opting to leave your kitten heels on. Next comes your blouse, which you unbutton slowly for Joseph’s benefit. His shirt is gone, along with his belt. He palms himself lazily over unbuttoned pants, watching your fingers work.

“Don’t forget heroic, a genius, and—“ his bragging is cut short by a low whistle as your bra is revealed, a delicate little number formed of translucent lace. Once you let the blouse fall he can fully appreciate the matching panties, cupping your ass nicely but leaving very little to the imagination. “Baby, you did come dressed to celebrate.”

When you reach back to undo the bra clasp Joseph stops you, lips back on your neck and hands rubbing your shoulders. Instead you tug the cups down until your breasts spill out, earning you a hissed “Niiice” before his hands quickly replace the lace. The contrast is delicious – warm, calloused flesh on one side, smooth and cool metal on the other. Both options have your nipples pebbling almost instantly, Joseph kneading your tits with reverence as if this is a rare treat rather than something he gets to do almost every day.

It is kind of a special occasion.

Before long his right hand drifts down your stomach, slipping deftly into your underwear. You’re so slick he can barely keep a finger on your clit, forcing a whine from you and a low groan from him. “Holy shit, you’re wet! The thought of putting on a show for some strangers gets you this worked up?”

“N-no, I’m excited for you, JoJo,” you coo, hips undulating along with his fingers. “It feels so good when you touch me.”

“Hmm, seems like I barely need to touch you at all,” he replies, back to his smug grin. With little warning he slips one finger inside you, then two, then three. There’s the tiniest sting, but you take them all easily. “See? You’re already ready for me.” It’s hard to argue when his strong, thick fingers are knuckle deep inside you and your pussy is still aching for more. “Since you want it so badly, guess it’s time to stop playing around and have some real fun.” The fingers are gone. “Bend over, baby.”

With a shaky sigh you do as you’re told, bracing your hands against the window and sliding your legs apart. You can’t resist wiggling your hips a little, asking for a playful swat from Joseph’s right hand. His left hand is suddenly gripping your ass, thumb spreading your lower lips open even wider and sweeping the gusset of your panties aside. You hear a zipper and rustling fabric, but instead of his cock, it’s a puff of warm air that caresses your pussy, followed by a firm stroke of his tongue.

“Oh, fuck!” you wail, leaning your forehead against the glass.

“Not until you beg for it, my love,” Joseph chuckles. “I can eat this sweet pussy all night! Make you come until you’re crying for my cock!”

“JoJo!” you moan, desperately. You want to ask what’s gotten into him, but he’s sucking hard on your clit and you can barely hold a thought. He’s always been vocal during sex, but his babbling is usually sweet, not this demanding or…filthy. You love your adorably enthusiastic Joseph, but this version is also thrilling, and it makes you wonder if you’re not the only one excited by imagining eyes on the other side of the window. He’s slurping your pussy so loudly you know it’s deliberate, groaning like you’re the most delicious thing he’s ever tasted.

And for another reason, you realize, when you look at your reflections and see him vigorously stroking his cock. It’s the sight that carries you over the edge: Joseph kneeling with his face buried between your legs, so turned on that he can’t help but touch himself. You come with a strangled squeal, and Joseph gives your clit an affectionate peck as if to say “good job.” He’s gripping the base of his cock so hard it looks painful.

“Fuck me, JoJo,” you gasp. “Please, please fuck me.”

“Whatever you want, baby.”

You rest for a bit against the window while Joseph stands and adjusts his grip on your hips. Now there are two thumbs spreading you open completely, which you might protest as embarrassing if you weren’t turned on beyond all pretense. You suck in a breath when the head of his cock finally kisses your opening, only for him to stop before taking the plunge.

“Look at that. It’s show time after all.” Blearily, you lift your head to see a silhouette in one of the windows in the office building across from you. Whoever it is has dimmed their lights so you can’t see much other than a vague shape, but it’s easy to imagine a strange pair of eyes staring into yours as Joseph sinks deep with one thrust.

The sudden stretch and the arousal have you coming again, softly this time, an aftershock of the pleasure you got from Joseph’s tongue. He leans his weight against your ass and holds still, luxuriating in the way you ripple around him, like you want him even deeper. “Fuck, this is good! We should’ve done this sooner!”

“Yeah,” you agree dreamily, grinding back against Joseph while you wait for him to move. He pulls back and thrusts hard, making your palms squeak against the glass.

“Maybe-“ he grunts, “maybe we should try it again on Monday morning. I’ll brace you against the doorway of my office, just like this, and we can show everyone that sexy face you’re making. Show them how hard I make you come.”

“But I don’t want them to see,” you murmur back. “Those things, I only want to show them to you, JoJo.”

“S-shit,” he gasps. “Fuck, you’re so hot. So beautiful!” He has a hand around your breast again, lips, tongue, and teeth trailing across your neck and shoulders just the way you like. He presses his face next to yours and gently tilts your chin up, making you look out the window again. “It looks like our new friend agrees.”

Across from you, the silhouette’s arm is moving back and forth. You can’t really see what’s happening, but you know.

“You’re so sexy, you’ve got him jerking off in the middle of his office,” Joseph laughs breathily. He slips two fingers between your parted lips, stroking your tongue in time with his thrusts. “Who could blame him? Watching those gorgeous tits bouncing above that pretty lace. Imagining his cock is the one pounding out your hot little cunt.”

You stiffen up a bit at the vulgarity and Joseph kisses your temple, asking with his eyes if what he said was okay. “Yes, yes, fuck,” you moan around his fingers, bracing against the glass to shove yourself into his cock, demanding deeper, harder, more. Joseph tilts his head to kiss you hungrily. His wet fingers go straight to your clit where they rub and pinch until you’re whimpering into his mouth, near tears.

“He can’t even hear how wet you are,” Joseph continues. “So wet you’re dripping all over the nice new carpet.”

You laugh a little at that. “As if you’re not desperate to make an even bigger mess, JoJo,” you tease back, lips touching as you pant into each other’s mouths. “Will you clean me up, baby? After you make a mess of me?”

“Fuck yes,” Joseph groans. “I’ll do anything, anything!”

“Come for me. Come inside me. I need it so badly, JoJo.” Whether it’s a plea or a command, Joseph can’t help but obey. He presses his face between your shoulder blades and one lightly Hamon-charged fingertip to your clit, and you’re thrown off the cliff of a breathless, whiteout orgasm. It feels like every muscle in your body is clenching for Joseph’s cock. He’s scorching hot and huge inside you as he fills you up, and you wring him for every last drop. He slowly pulls out and helps you right yourself, turning your back to the window as he leans down for a kiss.

“That was amazing. I love you.” Before you can return the words he’s already sinking to his knees, nudging your legs apart so he can fit between them.

“Joseph, I’m tired,” you demur, stroking his sweaty bangs away from his forehead.

“But I still need to clean up,” he insists. When he grins at you like that, you can’t say no. “I’ll go slow, baby, I promise.”

He starts with your inner thighs, looking very pleased with himself when he gets a few giggles out of you from the ticklish sensation. When his mouth finally reaches your center it is slow and soothing. He’s not trying to force another orgasm from you – just enjoying you, caring for you, showing his love. You don’t come by the time he’s finished, but you don’t need to. You just want him to hold you, so he does.

When you reach the couch he plops down on it, keeping you cradled in his lap. He takes off both of your shoes and stretches out on his back (as much as he can), draping you across his front. He’s warm, and you can feel his heartbeat beneath your cheek, and even though you know you’re going to be ungodly sore tomorrow, right now everything feels perfect.

“Thank you,” you murmur, pressing a kiss to the center of his chest.

“Anytime, baby,” he chuckles warmly. He smiles up at you, looking happy but not as content as you feel.

“Is everything okay?” you ask, a little worried. “It was good for you, wasn't it? Not…weird?”

“Of course, it was great for me! Don’t look at me like that!” He reaches for your cheek, rubbing at the corner of your frown. “I was just, ah,” he clears his throat, adjusting your position so that you’re more beside him than on top of him. On the way down, your leg brushes what is unmistakably a semi-erection already straining against his briefs. “I was just thinking about what you said earlier, about ‘celebrating’ on my desk.”

“Absolutely not,” you groan, nuzzling against his shoulder, eyes already closed.

“Your next line is: ‘Maybe tomorrow, JoJo!’”

“Nice try.”

Lol uh, sorry for spamming jojo a lot lol. I saw the jojo stuff, read it, and fucking ate it alive dude. Epic writing. Just-*mwah* adorable. Oh also, could you do a hc of a, not sure what to cal em, friend I guess, a hc of a friend that has a stand that can transfer minor sicknesses, broken bones, and non fatal injuries over to them? Basically what I had in mind is that the user recently lost their mother and then lost their best friend in a car accident, the guilt was eating them alive, so they went around healing as many people as possible. But this was hurting them, and it gets to a point where it becomes obsessive??? Idk, the character I used for this idea in my head is genuinely just a big softie, but you can choose what they act like or something. If you could I would like it if you used the same people from your rainy day thing! I would be super happy if you did. Sorry if this is a lot, I’ll understand if you don’t do it.

omg pls don't apologize i thought it was funny lmao. and i'm so glad you liked the posts! i've been obsessed with jojo again recently so all my content is that now hehe

as for your ask, i think i know what you mean? like each character interacting with you (the friend/partner [works either way] with the healing stand)? hope it's okay!

so here's hc's of jjba characters from 1, 2, and 3 reacting to you trying to use ur stand on them.

(summary is in the ask, but i'll give one anyway) you have a stand that heals people's minor injuries, but it just transfers their wounds to you. you've become obsessed with the idea of healing the people around you.

warnings: um, sorta tragic backstory? i didn't really mention it but yeah. also sorta obsessive behavior. sorta hurt/comfort? idk.

jjba hcs- healing stand

jonathan

he hates it when u use ur stand omg. he hates it so much. like, he'll get a paper cut and ur all over him trying to heal him and he's gotta like. hold you down to stop you. he'll say 'now what kind of man would i be if i let the lady heal simple paper cut?'

erina

she'll make you some tea to make the urge of healing go away. she likes to help take your mind off of it. she also has a habit of fretting over you, so in truth, she'd say something like 'you're so worried about me, but what about you? you haven't even eaten yet!"

speedwagon

he likes to compromise and let you put a fun bandaid on him. you always choose the hello kitty bandaids or something and he just. doesn't mind. he's pretty clumsy so it happens often.

lisa lisa

would resort to fucking sedating you if needed. absolutely REFUSES to let u use ur stand on anyone. she tends to ignore the fact that she's hurt, 'cause pointing it out would make you want to do it more.

young joseph

he'd make it a game of sorts. like, if you catch him in hide-and-seek in the garden he'll let you heal him. you never catch him though, cause he always thinks of ways to cheat lol.

old joseph

ngl, he almost considers letting you. but he can't bear the fact that you'd be hurt because of him. so obviously, he won't let you. he'll hug u from behind and hold ur arms down so u can't move until you relent and let it go <3

caesar

he makes you some dinner and lets you calm down after a teensy injury he got. he'll tell you that it was his own fault and that you have no business doing that for him. he makes u ur favorite and eats it with u as a little picnic.

jotaro

doesn't really know what to do. like obviously he doesn't need u to heal him, but like. what's he supposed to say? so he settles for a simple 'i'm okay, i promise.' and just hugs you instead of more words. tries his best to put u at ease.

kakyoin

he'll make u some food or something and keep ur mind off it. he might take you on a little date or something too, like dessert or something similar. if u ask him to, he'll just stay by ur side and do whatever to help u work through ur stuff.

polnareff

gets really upset that you'd even consider putting urself in danger (no matter how minor) for his sake (even though he'd do the same thing) so he sits u down and tells you that ur not allowed to heal him ever. his soft lil smile is enough to make u agree <3

avdol

he always says that he appreciates the offer of healing (even though it was more insistent) but that he 'will bear the injury with strength!" so he always says he'll be brave for u and he always tries to make sure u know he's ok

[psychicexpertlover]

Jojo's for the fandom ask thing?

AAAAAAH TYSM FOR ASKING 🥰🥰🥰

my blorbo: my favorite character... You're asking me to pick between Jonathan and Erina?? Jonathan, who was brave and kind and selfless and just overall wonderful, and Erina, whose compassion, resilience and intelligence (which was super underutilized ಥ_ಥ) set her apart as my favorite Jojo lady? I can't choose, I love them both so much!!!

my scrunkly: Doppio is babey I do not take constructive criticism

my scrimblo bimblo: look, Jojo has such a wide plethora of underrated characters I'd be hard-pressed to just pick one! BUT!!! William A Zeppeli?? Like I'm not sure what it is about this guy but despite being one of the most important characters in part 1 he gets no love??? Is this because of the mustache? Idk I just wish he'd gotten more appreciation he seemed like such a cool dude (also you can't convince me he wasn't boinking Speedwagon like come on 👀)

my glup shitto: okay so. I may get yelled at for this. I'm sorry. but. That american movie director Lisa Lisa married in the epilogue of part 2. Like, SIR??? who ARE you?? (honorable mention: Jotaro's wife. Mrs. ex-Kujo if you read this im free on Thursday night and would like to hang out. Please respond to this and then hang out with me on Thursday night when I’m free.)

my poor little meow meow: I'm veeery tempted to say Kira because if ever I had a problematic fave, it would be this blonde mf. H O W E V E R. there's a character in part 4 who is so pathetic. and so close to my heart. Kishibe Rohan, this one's for you <3 stop being so relatable, it's concerning

my horse plinko: a character I'd torment for fun.... Look, a part of me wants to say like Stroheim, Alessi, or even Hazamada, and while those are rational and reasonable responses... I think I'll pick Joseph Joestar just for fun. And also because of what he said about N#zis (wtf was that Araki like seriously). and because I'm fucking tired of transmisogynistic Tequila Joseph "jokes". and I guess also because he cheated on Suzi Q.

my eeby deeby: Stroheim Alessi and Hazamada. And Dario Brando. Oh and that orangutan from part 3?? Yeah sorry it's more than one character but they all suck soooo

Side To Side

Chapter 202: True Love

Characters: Law, Heart Pirates Rating: T Warnings: Language Notes: :3

~~~~~~

Law loved his crew.

Unapologetically.

He loved their diversity and uniqueness.

Sure, he sucked at showing how much he loved them, but he did.

It wasn’t just spite and determination to kill Doflamingo that kept him going. It was the laughter and warmth of his crew. His crew gave him the strength to carry on. They made getting out of bed everyday worth it.

He sat in the cafeteria listening to everyone talk as he sipped his coffee. Everyone was happily chatting and laughing away. There were the clanking of utensils on plates and the sound of cups being placed down on the table. It was part of his routine. Instead of hiding away with his coffee, he would sit with everyone at breakfast, getting in his social time. He did the same with dinner.

Clione appeared beside him and placed a plate of fruit, bacon, and eggs in front of him with a disapproving gaze. Law sighed.

“I’ll eat.”

“Ya better. Your health is important, Doctor.”

Law picked up a blueberry and popped it into his mouth. “See?”

Clione nodded and walked back into the kitchen.

Law cleared his throat and absentmindedly ate his breakfast. He listened to the crew’s conversations. One about what their next island could be, one was about what items needed to be added to the grocery list, another about a work out routine, one more about how it was about time to donate blood to the supply they had. Everything was as it should be.

After everyone had finished breakfast and the dishes were being washed, Law decided to go on deck. It looked like it was a sunny day, and he wanted to see the horizon. As expected, there were a few of his nakama on deck, as well. Shachi and Penguin were throwing around a ball, Ruby was sunbathing, Jun was knitting on deck (apparently that was her hobby), and Clione was giving ice cream to Jean Bart.

Law closed his eyes and took a deep breath, letting the calm breeze fill his lungs. He slowly breathed out, catching the ball that was thrown at him with one hand.

“Aw man,” Penguin whined. “Can’t catch this bastard off guard for nothing.”

Law opened his eyes. “Why are you throwing balls at my face?”

“Oh, so you don’t like balls in you- ah!!” Penguin narrowly avoided the ball that Law pelted at him. “Don’t be a dick,” he whined.

Shachi laughed. “You only have yourself to blame for that one, Peng.” He caught the ball that Penguin threw at him.

Law sighed and walked to the railing on deck. He stared in the distance, clear skies...for now. Who knows what the weather will be in even 45 minutes on this ocean.

“Hey, Ruby,” Law heard Clione call. “You awake?”

Ruby groaned. “I am now.”

“Don’t get fussy, I was going to ask if you wanted ice cream.”

“Ooooo, yes please.”

“We got strawberry and chocolate.”

“Chocolate.”

“Of course.”

Ruby giggled and closed her eyes again with a grin, settling in on her sunchair.

Law sighed. “Did you put sunscreen on?” He called.

Ruby groaned. “Why do you ask every time? Yes, of course I did.”

“Because I don’t want you whining to me later on when you look like a tomato.”

Ruby scoffed and waved him off. “I put it on. I had Ikkaku help me.”

Law let out a breath. “Okay. Don’t complain later if you’re burned.”

“I won’t.”

Law rolled his eyes and leaned against the railing. He caught the ball headed for his face, again. “Why?”

“Play with us!” Shachi laughed. “What else do you have to do? Part of being pirates is having fun!”

Law tossed the ball back to Shachi, unable to answer him at first. “Why not,” he said to himself as he caught the ball again.

Both Penguin and Shachi looked overjoyed. The three of them threw the ball around, talking about whatever. Ruby had eventually gotten up from her chair, tired from sunning and going to take a shower (after she ate her ice cream, of course) and Jun followed after her. Jean Bart joined them in throwing around the ball.

This was a good morning.

After they had grown tired of tossing the ball around, it was about lunch time. Usually, lunches were spent around the sub, letting people have their alone time if they so desire it. Law usually ate lunch alone, but there were times he spent time with his crew. No, not just Ruby. In fact, beyond them saying good morning to each other and Law getting onto her about the sunscreen, they hadn’t seen each other much today.

But that was fine. He knew if they ever wanted to spend a lot of time together they would. Besides, he wanted to spend time with the three people who have been with him for a decade. He wanted to waste time, drinking a beer and just loving the time they spent with each other because they all loved each other. They were family. They were his found brothers.

The day went by quickly. He spent time with each of his crew members, chatting with them, offering to help with any work they needed done. At dinner time he sat with Jun and Erina, trying to get to know them better. Admittedly, everything happens so fast and he hadn’t gotten to know them as well as he wanted. So, they talked throughout dinner, enjoying each other’s company. It was a little awkward at first, seeing they were employed by the government at one point, but it was fine. They were nakama now, it was all in the past.

At the end of the day he was ready to relax with Ruby. He grabbed a green apple from the kitchen and made his way up to his room. The door was open when he got there. He walked in and noticed that Ruby was stretching on her mat facing the wall. She had been doing more stretches as of late, probably to be more flexible as she couldn’t work out as hard as she used to due to all her injuries.

Law sat on the bed and grabbed the book he had been reading off the nightstand. He was easily distracted by Ruby, watching the way she moved so fluidly. He had planned on reading the book in his hand, but watching Ruby was far more entertaining. Her back, hard arms, her legs, her butt. Wow, he was really just so attracted to her.

He took a loud bite of the apple and Ruby turned to look at him with a confused look on her face.

“How long have you been there?”

He shrugged while he chewed. “Not long.”

“And you’ve been just watching me stretch?” She chuckled. “It can’t be that entertaining.”

He shrugged again. “I can just stare at you. It is my right as your boyfriend.”

Ruby snorted. “Alright.” She walked over and sat next to him. She leaned in and kissed him chastely. Law stared at her and took another bite of his apple. “Can’t believe you’re eating an apple.”

Law looked at her confused. “Why? Apples are good for you, yours aren’t that sweet, and…” he stared at her stupid wide grin, “wow, that’s really fucking lame.” Ruby laughed loudly and kissed him again. “I love you, Rube. Even if you’re fucking lame.”

“Aren’t I special.” She giggled and stood up. Law set aside his apple and book and grabbed her hand to stop her from walking away. She looked back at him with a raised brow. “What’s up?”

“Come here.” He gently pulled her back down. “I love you.”

“You said that.” She smiled and patted his hand. Law cupped her cheek. “Penguin said you were being affectionate today, guess that extends to me, too,” she joked.

Law pulled her in and kissed her slowly. Their fingers tangled together. Law pulled away and stared into her eyes. He kissed her forehead and breathed her in. He didn’t know what to say to her. Nothing he could think of could explain the feelings he had for her. He wished that when he told her he loved her that would get the point across, but it wasn’t enough. It didn’t feel like it was enough.

He wished he could describe to her how he looked forward to her bed head every morning. He wanted to describe how her laugh, snorting included, was the thing that relaxed him the most. How her big, happy grin is what made his day go by faster. The way she skipped down the halls made him so excited. The way she tied her hair back was captivating. He loved the way her skinny fingers that were covered in multiple rings, that she stole, wrapped around his own so easily. How it brought him joy that her bright eyes still held hope even though her life left her with none. He just loved her. He loved her so goddamn much, but he didn’t know how to tell her without making a fool of himself.

He pulled away from her and looked at her face. She had a soft smile playing across her lips. She leaned in and kissed his chin. “I’m so happy you told me to join your crew, Captain.”

“Oh?”

“Mmhmm.” She took both of his hands in hers. “I’d be lost without you.” She leaned in and pressed her forehead against his. “I don’t know what’s got you so affectionate today, but I don’t mind it.” She rubbed her nose against his.

“I had been thinking,” he started. “I was thinking about my life recently. I’ve always been around people. My parents, The Family, Cora-san, you guys. After I lost my family, I spent years of my life not loving anybody…” he pulled away from her, “but thanks to Cora-san, I do now. I have my crew.” He rubbed her hands with his thumbs.

Ruby smiled. “Well, I’m glad that you have all of us. But you know, it isn’t unrequited. We all love you so much, too.”

Law stared at her, doubt creeping up in the back of his mind. “Yeah?”

“Yup!” She took his cheeks in her hands and gave him a loud kiss. “How could we not?” Law gave her an unsure smile. “Give me sec. I want to change.” She stood up and walked over to their bedroom door and closed it, then walked over to the dresser.

Law watched her silently, lost in thought. He wondered how Ruby would react to his insecurities and doubts about people loving him. Would she scold him, or maybe give him some flowery reassurance? He thought he knew her well enough to know by now. “Hey Rube,” he called her.

“Hm?”

“Do…” he cleared his throat. “Why do you love me?”

“What? I’m sure I’ve told you before.” She turned to look at him with her eyebrows raised. “Well, even if I have, I don’t mind telling you again,” she said with a chuckle at the end.

She finished undressing quickly and walked over to him. She sat down next to him and laid her head on his shoulder. “Well, you see, you make me happy.”

"Why?”

“Because you spoil me,” she teased. Law stared at her blankly. She blinked. “Oh, you’re being serious serious. Well then, I love you because you made me love myself. I love you because you try so hard to be good to me and make me happy. Because you make me comfortable in a way that I’ve never been before. I seek you out because you make me calm. You make the noise stop. I love your eyes, lips, and nose. I love your determination. I just...I just love you, dude.” She kissed his nose. “I don’t know how to describe all the ways I love you, all I can do is just tell you I love you over and over until you grow tired of it.”

Law stared at her for a moment. “Thanks,” he said. He understood. It was hard to explain his love for her, after all. “I love you, too.”

“Yep,” she leaned up and kissed his nose. “Quit being so affectionate. I wanna relax.”

“You can’t relax when I’m being affectionate?”

“Nothing like that. It’s more of a “am I getting ready to have sex? Cuddles? Making out?” A girl’s gotta know what her evening is like.” She stuck her tongue out playfully.

“I mostly planned on reading in bed with you.”

“Awesome. That’s what I was hoping for.” She leaned up and kissed him one last time before crawling over to her side of the bed.

He stood up and walked to the clothes hamper in the corner of their room, next to the dresser. He threw off all his clothes before walking into the bathroom to shower. As the warm water was spraying his skin his mind wandered. He thought about his life. He thought about where he was now. He wanted to be free. He wanted to carry out Cora-san’s will. Thankfully, he had his supportive crew to help him go through the long days until then. He had Ruby to keep him company on his dark nights where his  depressing thoughts got the best of him.

He supposed that really was love; being together as nakama. Once this was all over, after he took care of Doflamingo and what came after that, and if he survived, it would be all of them. All of his crew. His family. If he survived they would all be free to live together peacefully. It would be a hard adjustment, but they could do it.

As long as they were all together, they could do it.

[soranihimawari]

the truth is...

“Kindness is free. Love is free,” I said triumphantly raising the bottle of sake in the air.  Today was one I didn’t see coming at all. As fate would have it, running into my high school crush was not particularly high on my to-do list when I left the cafe I worked in earlier in the afternoon. I was hired on as one of the patisseries which specialized in parfaits and seasonal tarts during my last year in culinary school. Tonight, I was drunk on celebrating this latest turn of events.

“Of course,” my company teases me right as he raises my hand to his lips. he lets go of my hand with a cheshire cat like grin. “How could I ever forget that. C’mon, let’s get some food in you before you suffer the worse hangover in your life. I know a great place not too far from here.”

I took another swig of the sake bottle before I nodded.

“Lead the way Atsumu-san.”

I swore those hazel eyes never looked so inviting as they did at that point in my life. I recalled my coworkers’ conversation earlier in the middle of our shift:

“Say, y/n-san,“ the interning barista, Haruna, began.

“Hmm?” I hummed my response. “What’s up Haru-chan?”

“I was, well we were all wondering about something,” she said.

I picked up a towel to dry another cappuccino mug beside her. The other members of our cafe were within earshot when their senior intern asked her question.

“How come your boyfriend only comes in after we leave? When are you gonna introduce us?”

“Boyfriend? Haruna, I hate to break to you, but I don’t have one.”

“No, you do,” she begins to state her case. Haruna nervously twiddled her thumbs while our other coworker, Senna, approached us. “Tell her Senna-senpai.”

“We didn’t want to say anything, but there’s this hot blond guy who looks eerily similar to Miya Atsumu, y’know. From the MSBY Black Jackals? Anyways, he stops in here every once in a while right at closing time when it’s Erina’s turn to lock up the cafe. And apparently there was one day he asked me if you worked here,” Senna confesses. “You went to Inarizaki too, right?”

“Yeah, so?” I asked. My small smile was caught by both of them before I picked up the next mug to dry.

“You should of seen the relief on his face when Senna told him that you did and now he hasn’t stopped coming by on random mornings, but you’re never here when he comes by,” Haruna says with a dreamy sigh.

“Listen,” I said. I placed the second mug upside down on the drying rack and folded the drying towel before continuing. “The next time that blonde pretty boy walks in here is the day I will need to buy a bottle of really strong orange flavored sake to get through any sort of time with him.”

“You liked him didn’t you?” Haruna giggled.

“I do not.” Oh fuck, they’re both going to pick up on that slip, I thought.

“You’re blushing really hard now, Senpai,” Senna teased. “You still find him really hot don’t you?”

***

A couple of days go by without Miya stopping by the cafe. I had reminded my fellow cafe employees the MSBY team had a few away practice matches while promoting a newly signed member of their team. Even with this knowledge, their collective curiosity got the better of them inquiring about my relationship, or lack thereof, with the good looking setter. 

It wasn’t until two weeks later Miya Atsumu stopped in for his usual. Apparently there were perks of his frequent visits one of them being on his social media account pages tagging our cafe location with the quote “she always makes the best parfaits”. Business actually had been steady since then. After all, it helps when your three coworkers all had conversed with him once or twice before.

One Saturday around four forty-five in the afternoon, I was in the middle of setting my fudge in a star mold when Erina, Haruna, and Senna texted me to come out of the kitchen saying that there was a regular who had a question about the menu. Judging by the messages I received, I rolled my eyes. 

“Unbelievable,” I muttered before patting my hands on the apron; I had a coy smile on my face when I opened Haruna’s photo message. Damn Atsumu, you still are as handsome as ever. I pushed through the swinging kitchen door walking toward where my former classmate was standing on the opposite side of the display counter.

“Miya-kun?” my voice maintained its curious tone.

The blonde professional athlete stood in the middle of the cafe reading the menu wearing a casual sponsored street attire that included a hoodie with his team’s logo stitched on (along with a pair of cotton jersey shorts and running shoes). Compared to me being dressed in a humbling combination of tapered royal blue jeans and a sunflower yellow blouse paired with nonslip ebony ballet flats, the setter looked like he was in athleisure campaign.

“Hey there dollface. Long time no see.”

I folded my arms over my chest when he sat down in front of the short counter space near the espresso maker. I was skeptical of his presence here, but my brain kicked into fight or flight mode ever since I heard him poke fun at the odd shaped friendship chocolates I left for him on his desk when we were fifteen (to be fair, it was my second attempt at making sea salt chocolates at home, but apparently, the Miya twins were going through their high school jerk phase). I watched Atsumu from afar trash them without even tasting one in favor of his fangirls’ fancier box saying something about how he had to avoid excess sweets for a week because of some stupid bet he had going on with his twin.

Does he need to know he was the reason why I wanted to perfect my sweet making skills? No. Absolutely not. Because if he did, that ego of his would skyrocket and I’m actually ok with not letting that bit of info reach his ears. Damn it Miya, why are you still as good looking as I remembered you being? The fuck was I thinking when I was fifteen...Gods do I need a drink. I thought.

“What’re you doing here? Shouldn’t you be off training or at practice or something?”

“Nope. I got the day off and thought I should come by to see what’s the newest parfait my favorite old classmate made for me.”

“Bold of you to assume it’s for you, ‘Tsumu.”

Me saying his nickname caused him to raise an eyebrow at me before he closed his eyes and I watched his lips draw back into a wider smile.

“Erina, Haruno, mind staying behind to help Senna clean and lock up tonight? It seems the owner of this cafe and I have dinner plans.”

“You’re not their boss Miya, so you can’t tell them what to do.” I pushed my finger against his shoulder which caused a chortle to come from him. I turned around to face my coworkers with an amused stare.

“Erina, Haruno, mind helping Senna out tonight? I’m leaving early. Apparently I have plans with the starting setter for the MSBY volleyball team.”

That was at five-thirty that afternoon...

---THE NEXT DAY, 9:56a.m.---

The soft chirping of an alarm located on the nightstand next to the plush king sized bed where I found myself waking up in. I am by no means a rich lady and for the life of me, I couldn’t even afford a place like this with a killer view of the neighborhood. Suddenly, as I hoisted myself up from the sheets, my memory came back in little flashes. Memories ranged from me getting drunk with Atsumu at the local pub next to his brother’s restaurant to Atsumu’s declaration on which onigiri his brother makes was the absolute best in town and how not one of his ex-girlfriends could ever replicate it properly.

I don’t recall much of what we talked about at Onigiri Miya when Osamu left us to ourselves for a little bit, but I could of sworn Atsumu tell me how he was searching for the cafe I worked at trying to formally apologize about dumping out the chocolates I had made when we were in high school:

“I heard you made them at home, right?” he asked, watching my nose twitch before I rested my head in my palm on the table. When I nodded, I didn’t notice he was pouting when he muttered an, “I’m sorry.”

“Yeah, hah. I did. It was my second batch too. I made them look like stars because those were the only molds I had. If I had known they’d wind up in the trash, I wouldn’t have tried to make you feel better after the results of the spring tournament that year,” I said exhaling a sigh. I leaned my head against Atsumu’s shoulder gently reassuring him I had long since forgiven him. “But it’s in the past. Don’t worry about it so much, ‘tsumu. C’mon, the night is still young and I need at least one more bottle of sake before the convenience store stops selling them.”

---

“Oh my god,” I groaned when I flung the blanket off my top exposed body. My bra was still on, which was a good sign I guess, but instead of wearing my sapphire slacks, I noticed they were replaced with an older pair of white with black striped sweatpants (the color combination of the sweatpants reminded me of my high school’s volleyball team). I snatched the closest shirt I could find, yet I didn’t have enough time to throw that over my shoulders since I heard the bedroom door creak open.

“Good, you’re awake,” a disembodied voice called out from behind me. Give me a damned minute, I thought. I know that voice; it belonged to one of my classmates whom I recalled walking into my cafe yesterday asking me to spend the evening with him. Inhaling a sharp breath when I felt the mattress dip behind me, I barely remember him telling me to confess about something when I was sober in the morning and for some reason I had agreed.

“You’re really pretty, y’know.” Miya stretched his arm around my shoulder before he stood up to help me to my feet. I was a bit skeptical at his compliment, yet he squeezed my shoulder twice allowing me to know that he said was true.

“You flatter me, Miya. Why don’t you try complimenting me when I’m sober, yeah?” I tapped the left side of his cheek when I hopped off the stool. 

“Fine,” he chuckled. “You’re drunk enough as it is. Let’s go. Later ‘Samu.”

I shook my head right as I felt his arms wrap around me from behind, I let out a shaky laugh when he pulled me to lean back into him. I was quick to notice the soft fabric of his shirt when my head came into contact with it. There’s no way in hell we’d ever sleep together because I might have let it slip we should try to avoid a publicity scandal...

“How’re ya feeling dollface?” his voice whispers into my ear. A shiver ran up my spine when he did this, allowing me to focus on anything else besides the sun peeping through the blinds of the window.

“Better now that I’m here, ‘tsumu,” I replied in a groggy tone, my voice was barely above a whisper. Honestly, I’m not as hungover as I thought either, so he must have coerced me into eating some left over onigiri he had when he offered his place to me to crash, I thought. Then, I made a mental note to add a few extra half dozen macaroons for his brother when I see him next time. What Atsumu said next threw me for a loop:

“That’s good because I want you sober to remember this,” his voice taunted me right before I felt his lips press into the sides of my neck, down my back, and onto my shoulders.

“Mmm,” my voice hummed. “’Tsumu, you’re~aah~gonna leave a mark.”

My lips curled in amusement at the map his kisses left behind. He mentioned something like he wasn’t going to stop until I properly forgave him, to which I replied with a resounding, “If I didn’t did you think I’d have accepted your offer of spending the night out on the town with you?” I held onto his hands when he paused for a moment to think.

I raised my head up when he stopped, a smug smile tugged his lips upward. I felt my eyes blink a few times processing what he was trying to ask me to do. Thankfully my partner was a patiently affectionate person this morning because he didn’t leave out much for me to figure out when I twisted around his hold to plant my lips over his own. Yet although I claimed I was sober, I was already drunk off this warmth radiating from him.

You would think that after all the hours I'd spent with Atsumu last night - watching him talk, laugh, and frown (and the same with the way I noticed his stolen glances for a few seconds when he wandered into the cafe I worked in)- that I would know all there was to know about his lips, but I hadn't figured how kind they would feel pressed up against my own just yet.

When I pulled away first, I watched the way Atsumu looked down at me, his face a little flushed from my kiss. He smirked before pressing his lips on mine again and this time, the kiss was just as invigorating as before; his calloused hands roaming every inch of my body and with one of his hands becoming lost in my hair. Eventually I crawled into his lap, using his shoulders to steady my balance when he hoisted me up prompting me to straddle his upper body. My arms looped around behind his neck, running my fingers through his hair in a coquettish manner. I blew short streams of air onto the side of his neck causing his breath to hitch in his throat right before I burrowed my face in his neck kissing the space under his ear, causing me to feel his chest rumble when I heard him chortle. I seized the opportunity to guide Atsumu’s lips back onto mine. 

We were both lost in a sea of bliss after that because from what we both could tell, this was the starting point of a hard-earned love that took it’s sweet time to develop and gods be damned was his love worth it.

 Shonen Jump Rap Cypher 2 by Rustage

Yeah, despite my disdain for a CERTAIN character in this cypher, I’m doing it.

Lyrics under the cut

Roronoa Zoro- One Piece (Performed by Rustage)

First mate

Shatter like Pica, an earthquake

The body I build with my work rate

These cursed blades are dooming you all to a worst fate

Surprise you like a birthday

I hurt, maim, need first aid

You want the shaft?

Then I guess I’m taking you to third base

One

Beast with my weapons, strength immense like gorillas

Two

Cut down in a second, one man army, guerilla

Three

Scary, no thriller, I’m stronger than imagined

Killed the beat but turn around and be like “nothing happened.”

Vegeta- Dragon Ball Z (Performed by Fabvl)

Uh

You don’t want it with the prince

Put you on your knees,

man there’s levels to this shit

That’s real

bunch of Mr. Satans in this bitch

Kill a petty rapper, bring em back to hold the tip

Call that draggin’ balls

Focused mind, like I’m overdosed on Adderall

Royal blood, turn the greatest into catalogues

They can call me number 2

I create the greatest, tell me, who the fuck are you?

Killua Zoldyck- Hunter x Hunter (Performed by DizzyEight)

Yeah

I’m cut from a different fabric

It’s shocking when you spot him, I was bred for the static

It’s tragic, but it happened

I’m bred to be a savage, y’all yappin’

You think you got heart? Then stare at it.

Know it’s god speed how I move when I smack you

Lose your head if you think I’m the one to talk back to

Assassin how I move, kill you without a trace

Ain’t talking yo-yos when I string rounds to your face

Seto Kaiba- Yu-Gi-Oh! (Performed by Gray Fox)

Rageki with my lyrics and Obelisk in my physics

I’m a monster reborn and I’m here with a vengeance

and then I Jinzo on these bitches ‘cause I don’t fall for these thirst traps

Write it and I spit it, ain’t no need for these rehearsed raps

Blue eyes, three heads, the smirk of a crook

Y’all motherfuckers just toons, ‘cause you go by the book

Pot of Greed, make money til I overdose

I kill my friends just to kill you,

call me King Barbaros

Tobia Kageyama- Haikyuu!! (Performed by Connor Quest)

Smack you down harder than my serve, make my hand sore

Had your turn, now it’s back to me, that’s a chance ball

I hold power, split second, pick an option

The control tower that you call like Houston if you have a problem

Flick of the wrist, they better get hit, I tend to get pissed, if ever they miss

Can’t keep up with me just go be subbed or quit

Orange-Black combo, shorty flies when I let him jump

Kageyama shittin’ on the mic, that’s a setter dump

Rukia Kuchiki- Bleach (Performed by Frivolous Shara)

Freeze!

Who wants to dance with the ice queen?

I go from 100 to absolute 0, ice stream

Is that the scoreboard or temperature?

To the thousand year blood war, I’m here, here’s the finisher

Big things come in small packages

They think that I’m fun-sized

‘til I open this third eye

this Bankai

Banish your soul from society

Leave your body in thirteen divisions for tryin’ me.

Katsuki Bakugo- My Hero Academia (Performed byShofu)

It’s Bakugo

My pressure got the opps on the ropes

Rest in peace to the goat, but I’m popping the smoke

I’m just tryna make a name, ain’t no time to be slow

Villains say they beating me?

Need to stop with the jokes

Since my rival got chosen, I’m not losing focus

Deku got me heated, don’t get caught in the explosion

All I need is power and strength

I got a vision, and I never needed help, I’ma do it myself

Inosuke Hashibira- Demon Slayer (Performed by Shao Dow)

Sugoidaro, ore wa shōbu shōbuda (Incredible, aren’t I? Fight me!)

Chototsumōshin imasuguda (Wild Pig Assault, right now!)

Hashibira Inosuke

Defeat you with crossed blades

The beast in the cosplay

These demons are not safe

Mad lad with no chill, the most skill, I go kill

Mountin’ Oni ‘til they mole hills

I’ll headbutt ya, hold still

I’m so pig headed, I’ll kick ya for no reason

Kedamono no kokyū (Breathing of a beast)

As long as this beast’s breathing

Yuno- Black Clover (Performed by Mega Ran)

You know, that I gotta protect what’s mine

Got the spirit of wind any my relatives by my side

I been raw, got that grimoire

Know I make a match tragic, black magic

Keep you wheezing like an asthmatic

I’ll keep this brief, if it’s beef, you minced meat

Trust me, you don’t wanna see my brother with that fifth leaf

Listen up, power levels never get debuffed

I’m not stoppin, I’m not movin, and I’m never givin up

You know!

Karma Akabane- Assassination Classroom (Performed by Shwabadi)

Red head, rockstar

No redemption deaded with a bowie, call it blackstar

When it comes to felling yellow foes, he is a monster

Pull and shoot in seconds with no questions like a cop car

GRATTATA

That’s red and blue together, feel the murder intent

The BB gun plastic plastering the back of your head

Got screws loose, I’m coocoo, but action’s intense

Only school kid to school you, you’re actually dead

L- Death Note (Performed by Zach Boucher)

Everything I do is calculated

Hide the fear, commandeer

and use my wits to compensate and make it clear if they appear

I’ve got lots of patience waiting, I’ll be here to persevere

and don’t you try to get up near and interfere with my career

I really hate to lose

That won’t be me, I play for keeps

Honestly, fuck the rules

May even cheat ‘cause talk is cheap

They see me as a tool

But I’m the key, you best believe

Get me a sugar cube

Need something sweet for victories

Hiei- Yu Yu Hakusho (Performed by GameBoyJones)

This Jagan make you be gone

Wouldn’t pee on these peons

They’re too weak, couldn’t be pawns

Cut them all down like a neat lawn

I got the steel in hand, meddle with me then you’re finished

‘Cause you ‘bout to get the business like retailers during Christmas

I’ve been in the cut, why you think I’m packing a blade?

I’ll chop your top off like a barber when you catching the fade

All eyes on me, yeah my demon form is dashing

You know I keep that heat, I’ll fire on you with the dragon

Erina Nakiri- Food Wars (Performed by Savvy Hyuga)

Ya meat ain’t a feast, it’s a B-class waste

I’m elite, not a piece, I’m the whole damn cake

Just a cheat, no heat, knowin’ nothin’ ‘bout taste

Take a seat, here’s a treat, and a lesson from an ace

Gotta leave people pleased, your dish is simply just a tease

You ain’t doin’ it right if they ain’t weak at the knees

Got every person lustin’ from the work of my tongue

Ya know, girls would bust if you just delivered for once

Sasuke Uchiha- Naruto (Performed by VI Seconds)

I’m about to kill the village

and my brother won’t be changin the story

Somethin shocking’s gonna fly from the arm,

you woulda thought that I screamed “Chidori”

Whole style Katon, they all see I’m fire y’all

Sharingan to Rinnegan, see the way that I evolve?

Kirin, can’t a medic ninja stop yo harm

Got more eyes on me than Danzo arm

Every time I black? Flame like Amaterasu

I’m vengeance, hard bodied, peep the Susanoo

Jonathan POV

Hi! My name is Jonathan Joestar! A little about my self? Well, I'm 26, I have 4 younger siblings that I take care of since my father is always working. But it's fine I love taking care of them! I have a girlfriend, her name is Erina Pendleton and I'm planning to propose to her soon! Please don't tell her that, or any of my bothers, I don't want them to roast me for being a softy again.

Even though I am the oldest I can't be there some times, so when I'm not there my brother Joseph is in charge. But Joseph sometimes can be... How can I say this without sounding rude? Stupid? Immature? Idiotic? Well, yes to all of those.

Since Joseph can be a bit dumb at times, dad gives responsibly to Jotaro. He's pretty chill but sometimes can come off as rude. It's all a fake though, he loves marine life (especially dolphins lol) and when he was ten he told me he wanted to be a Marine Biologist! So in short, he's a dork.

Then there's Josuke and Jolyne the twins. There the youngest in the family. Josuke is the oldest by a few minutes. He's a goofball but can be serious if needed. Like if someone insults his hair he could go as some might say, Apeshit.

Jolyne, our only sister. Her personality is much like Jotaro. She just says whatever she wants, whenever she wants. I can't really say much about her since I'm being blackmailed by her and Jotaro. They're so alike it's scary.

I know I said I only had 4 siblings but there's another I didn't mention. 3 years before Joseph was born my father adopted a "friend" of his's son, Dio Brando. Dio was, excuse my language, a dick ever since we were kids. He ran over my dog Danny with one of his "friends" cars. As soon as Dio turned 18 he moved to Italy to become a lawyer. But that wasn't the last time I saw him.

While in Italy Dio, had a child with a woman he didn't even know. That woman neglected her son and allowed her husband to abuse him.

"She would leave days at a time and leave little food for him." I looked at the toddler sleeping in his arms, he had black hair and a cute bowl cut. "He's only a kid, he can't survive like that," Dio said to me.

"..."

"I can't let him have the same childhood as me." he looked dead into my eyes. I finally understood where he was coming from torturing me all these years.

"..." I stayed quiet.

"But I'm not taking care of this kid."

And now he lives with us! His name is Giorno Giovanna-Brando-Joestar. He is only a year younger then Josuke and Jolnye. And that's my family!

And remember when I said my dad works a lot, that was a lie...

He died on Jotaro's 11th birthday. He and my stepmother were hit by a drunk driver. Jotaro blames himself for the crash. It's not his fault though, he had no control over it. He was only a kid. I'm sorry to drop this on you now but with my father's death made me like a father figure to them. Dad would be proud.

Ages,

Jonathan- 26

Johnny- 22

Joseph- 20

Jo2uke- 19

Jotaro- 17

Josuke- 16

Jolyne- 16

Giorno- 15

Narrator POV

Jonathan woke up first as normal and recapped his schedule,

Ok, so I have to make breakfast, Make sure they're ready for school, go to work, and meet up with Erina, and? What else do I have to do? ...Oh yeah! Take away Joseph's phone for getting arrested yesterday! Next time he should, you know, not try and run over his WHEELCHAIR BOND COUSIN! Goodness, I got angry again, sorry about that.

Jonathan arose from his bed and began his morning routine. He showered, washed his face, brushed his teeth, and got ready for the day.

He then started to make breakfast for his big family.

Joseph likes bacon with coffee.

Jotaro likes toast with coffee.

Josuke likes eggs with juice.

Jolyne likes yogurt with coffee.

And Giorno likes vegan pancakes with tea.

Oh yeah, Johnny, and Gappy and/or Jo2uke are staying with us! I wonder what they want? I'll just make them eggs.

A door opens from upstairs. Giorno walks out from his room to the bathroom to get ready for school. He liked waking up before the rest of his family.

When Giorno was done getting ready he walked down the stairs, and greeted Jonathan as he sat down.

"Good Morning, Jonathan."

"Good Morning! Did you sleep well?" Jonathan asked.

"Yeah, I think s-" He was cut off by a door slamming shut. Very loudly.

"Must be Jotaro. Jolyne must have gotten in the bathroom first." Giorno commented.

Jonathan laughed. "I guess so."

~~~~~~~~~~~

"Good Morning, retards!" Jolyne came prancing down the stairs.

"Jolyne, that isn't nice," Jonathan said sternly.

"You're right, Joseph isn't here right now." she sat down. Jonathan sighed. saying nothing back to her, defeated.

"Where is Joseph anyway?" Giorno asks.

Jonathan scoffs, "I told him to be awake at 6:00 sharp."

"Why 6:00?" Jolyne asked

"That's his punishment for trying to run over Johnny yesterday."

"Ohh yeah! I remember now!"

"Your next line will be, 'The things he'll do for 20 bucks,'!" a voice from inside the pantry spoke.

"The things he'll do for 20 bucks- JOSEPH!" Jolyne yelled.

Joseph popped out of the pantry fully dressed and looking proud.

"I've been up since 4 am!" he said proudly.

"Did you have another nightmare?" Jotaro said sarcastically walking down the stairs.

"Yes actually, Ocean Man!"

"What did you say?" Jotaro asked sternly. Even though Joseph was 3 years older than him they were about the same size.

"He called you, OCEAN. MAN! O-C-E-A-N M-A-N!" Josuke called from the upstairs bathroom.

"Fuck off." Jotaro sat down. "Langage, Jotaro!" Jonathan told him.

"Joot, you seem more pissy than usual, are you on your period?" Jolyne asked smugly.

"Jolyne, I'm not in a good mood and I want you to know I will not hesitate to choke you out and then feed it to your simp."

"Anasui is not a simp!" Jolyne defended.

"Funny, how you knew who I was talking about without saying his name."

~~~~~~~~~~~

"Have fun at school!" Jonathan yelled at his younger siblings.

"Yeah, fun and school don't mix well," Jolyne yelled back.

Joseph usually carpools with Ceasar and Smokey. Jotaro drives him and his friends to school with Jonathan's car. (Jonathan drives there dads car to work). Jolyne caught a ride with her girlfriend Ermes. Josuke walked with his friends Okuyasu and Koichi. And Giorno either walked by himself or ride with his older friend Bruno, today he was alone with his thoughts.

Joseph POV

"Ugh, collage sucks!" I groaned. "Suck it up buttercup It's only the beginning of the year," Ceasar said, reading a book.

Asshole.

We were in the library supposed to be studying but I got a bit distracted. See Suzi Q was also in the library, by herself. Nobody around her, the perfect opportunity to ask her out, but this blonde bubble-blowing bitc-

"Stop staring at Suzi, it's starting to get creeping now," Ceasar said still looking at the book.

"And why should I?"

"1. We should be studying, and 2. Your so small no girl wants to date you." that asshole wrote something in his notebook.

I. Was. Annoyed to say the least. I mean it's true, BUT YOU DON'T SAY IT! So I did the only rational thing, put him in a headlock.

Good thing the library was empty except for a couple of people who were used to our bullshit by now.

"WHAT ARE YOU DOING YOU BUFFOON!?" Ceasar said, or at least tried too.

Ha, get rekt, bitch.

Jotaro POV

"Ugh, I hate school."

"Can you stop being edgy for 5 seconds?" Polnareff asked.

Dick,

"Can you guys stop arguing and actually help!" Avdol said while he was doing the science assignment, I don't know why. Fucken dork.

"Kakyoin is literally sleeping!" Polnareff wined.

"Kakyoin has had a long day."

"Yeah... what are we talking about?"

"So, sleeping beauty is finally up," I say.

"I know you meant that as an insult but I'm taking it as a compliment, Aurora was fabulous!" Kak laughed like the maniacal little gay shit he is.

"Aww, you guys are so cute!"

"Polnareff focus on the experiment!-" the test tube cut him off, by exploding.

"..."

"Finally something exciting," I said because it was fucking epic.

"I mean this would not have happened Joot and Kak weren't flirting with each other."

"Wtf."

Josuke POV

"Math is hardddddd."

"It's not that hard, Oku."

"Bullshit."

"Okuyasu, you should probably pay attention to my lesson instead of complaining." our math and gym/Hamon teacher Lisa-Lisa said to my friend Okuyasu, and trust me no one wants to get on her bad side, the last person to do that was Joseph, he still has nightmares, and he graduated.

"Yes, Josuke?"

"Is this going to be on the test?" I ask so I could know what to remember.

"Most of it will. But if you're asking me if you should listen in class or not, the answer is yes." it felt like she stared into my soul at that list part.

The bell rang

Lunch finally! Freedom at last!

"Your homework is to study for the quiz I'm giving you on an undisclosed date!"

Giorno POV

I walk over to bleachers outside of school where my friends (And Abbacchio) usually eat.

"Hey, guys." I quietly say. Right now there is only, Bruno, Abbacchio, Mista, and... Trish. Anyways as soon as Fugo and Narancia get here the peace will be ruined. Right now Bruno was talking to Mista and Trish about some party this Friday, and Abbacchio was on his phone with headphones on.

"Hello Giorno, how was your morning," Bruno asked.

"Eh, it was fine. Jolyne almost got ORAed."

"What else is new," Trish said drinking her mineral water. Wow shes really pretty, what?

"SUP BITCHES!" Narancia ran up to the bleachers with Fugo following behind him, sighing. Well, that was fun while it lasted.

[crowned-ladybug]

(Same anon here) I'm really happy u liked my idea :D I love finding people with the same/similar ideas I have :> also I love your writing and I like the scenario you mentioned about Joseph and Caesar, that could lead to some angst and fluff :0

Hi I am So Sorry that this is so late, I’m not even gonna list the reasons why, I’m just. so sorry.

It’s so nice finding other ppl who enjoy the same hcs I do and getting to Talk About Them!!!

As for the plot idea - part of me wishes I could make this a proper fic but alas, I already have too much on my plate and no time/energy to write most days. It still ran away with me a bit tho so under the read more it goes!

So this is still back on Air Supplena and Caesar and Joseph are just. hanging out. Caesar is trying to Read but emphasis on Trying actually bc he’s been rereading the same damn line for the past two minutes just not comprehending any of it bc Joseph won’t stop messing with his goddamn clackers and Making Noise and it’s Distracting and Annoying and Caesar is getting real fed up with it

(Maybe if he actually Said something in a civil manner then Joseph would’ve stopped doing that and let him read instead of leaving Caesar to fume without saying Anything just expecting things to change on their own but I digress)

So eventually Caesar groans: “Jesus Christ, why do you have to be so Annoying, just Stay Quiet Already,” and he reaches over and yanks the clackers out of Joseph’s hand. “I’m taking these. There.”

And he’d be ready to just go back to reading with the clackers dropped on his lap and Joseph finally Quiet bc for all Caesar cares he can stalk off to sulk elsewhere as long as he’s Quiet about it

Joseph is not quiet about anything

The clackers, as already established, are his stim toy. His favourite at that. He’s had the dang things for a while now and they’re Perfect and he uses them so often that they’ve become His Thing and since he can use them for fighting also he doesn’t have to feel weird about having them on hand all the time

And he’s grown up with almost every adult besides Erina and Speedwagon, as well as a lot of not-adults, telling him that everything he does bc of his ADHD is weird or wrong or stupid. He’s been yelled at to stay still in school so many times and had his stim/fidget toys taken and told off for stimming (and poor volume control, and memory issues, and infodumping, and so many other things that are just Natural to him) and told to just grow up and stop acting so childish and embarrassing and annoying, that everything he ever does to make himself comfortable and happy is actually gross and immature and should be stopped-

And now Caesar just told him the same thing and it hits differently from all the other times he’s called him annoying, and he took his fuckin clackers too and he’s acting like it’s just Okay to Do and-

Joseph sees red.

Caesar has no time to react before they’re both on the floor and all he can do is try to dodge and block Joseph’s fists as he yells at him to give him his fuckin clackers back. And it’s scary beyond just. fighting someone who’s v strong and knows how to punch (bc ofc so does Caesar), it’s scary bc Joseph is v obviously Genuinely Upset?? This isn’t an impromptu wrestling match on the floor over something dumb and petty that they’ll call truce over in just a bit and go back to teasing each other. No, Caesar has somehow Fucked Up even if he doesn’t realise How nor how to Fix It

This all goes down in the span of seconds btw before Joseph like. catches himself and realises what he’s doing, which is. trying to beat his best friend into the carpet for taking his Stupid Childish Toy that he shouldn’t even Have bc what kind of Idiot gets so attached to some dumb Toy and makes Constant Annoying Noises with it. And Caesar is reaching up tentatively to put a hand on his arm to try to placate him or snap him out of it or Something and that’s when Joseph just Bolts

Like. clackers forgotten and everything, he just. utilises his favourite secret technique and runs for it

“It” being his room. He locks the door and sits on the floor next to it for a while trying to catch his breath and collect himself. Eventually he manages to get up and get his scarf to fumble with it to calm himself better bc the scarf is also Important like the clackers are

He’s fucked up Big Time. Now Caesar knows he’s weird no matter how hard he tries to save face, bc even if he doesn’t Say anything, even if he never gets his clackers back (oh god, where are they, did he leave them with Caesar, oh fuck-) his strong reaction to Caesar taking them will Definitely betray to him that Something Is Up. Caesar is a smart guy, Joseph can’t expect him not to catch on to Something being off anyway even if he doesn’t exactly know What bc it’s already enough evidence that Joseph is Weird and Childish in all the ways that are Undesirable

Caesar goes after him bc ofc he does. He wants to figure out how he fucked up and Fix It and also lbr. if this Was something Joseph would want to just be left alone with, Caesar wouldn’t really realise that until he got punched again. So he takes the clackers and goes looking for Joseph (which takes him some time bc he doesn’t Know what’s going on and thus that Joseph would be in his room where he can dig out his favourite scarf or bury himself under a pile of blankets bc that’s Comforting, and as small as the island is, it’s Full of good hiding places)

But he eventually comes up to Joseph’s room and knocks. “Jojo, you in there?”

“Go away.”

“…do you actually mean that?”

And okay that’s unfair bc even buried under three blankets (pressure is Good but his weighted blanket is at home in New York and he is here in positively Not New York) and feeling like the world is overall a v shitty place, he still likes Caesar. Even if he knows that it’s dumb to want comfort from the same person that hurt him in the first place.

And then Caesar adds: “I still have your clackers.”

And it’s not like. blackmail or anything, more like “hey I wanna give these back tho” and that’s what does it bc Joseph wants his clackers back and so he v bitterly decides that if Caesar thinks he’s gross and weird now then Joseph can just punch him and they can go back to hating each other like they had back in Rome

He hates that possibility tho

He allows Caesar in and sits up in his bed while he’s at it so that he can have at least Some dignity left. Caesar sits on the bed with him tho he does keep a larger distance than he usually does and Joseph Really hopes that’s “I don’t wanna freak you out again” kinda distance and not “you’re just gonna punch me for no reason again aren’t you” kinda distance

Before he does anything else, Caesar gives the clackers back and Joseph just. puts them down on the bed on the Caesar-free side of himself bc he’s Very Consciously trying Not to Act Weird

He doesn’t look at Caesar’s face tho bc that’s a lil too much for him rn

“I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to upset you.”

Joseph just shrugs. “It’s fine, it’s…dumb.”

“It’s not dumb if it made you upset.”

And that’s so fuckin sweet and Honest and Caesar sounds like he genuinely feels bad for messing Joseph up so much but also Joseph doesn’t know what to Do with that when Caesar doesn’t even Know what he’s talking about, bc ofc it’s Dumb.

“No, it…it is dumb. Don’t worry about it.”

I’d say Caesar operates like 80% on Pure Spite so if you tell him not to worry about something he Will worry about it just to be an asshole but tbh it’s mostly just bc he loves Joseph in this case

“Can I ask why though?”

Joseph doesn’t expect whatever that is so much that he actually looks at Caesar for a moment. “Why what?”

“Why you got so upset. Or why you think it’s dumb,” and when Joseph doesn’t look convinced he continues. “I mean, we fight all the time, sure, but it’s never Serious…right?”

He genuinely looks Uncertain there for a moment and that’s a Big Fuckin Ouch bc of Course it’s never serious, ever since they took turns punting each other into that fountain in Rome none of their fights have been actually serious. They spar for training and they have joke-fights bc it’s fun to rile each other up and gain bragging rights but it’s never about Hurting and in face of real danger they’d protect each other over themselves in a heartbeat

So Joseph just nods, and Caesar carries on.

“But back there you got. really fucked up over what I did and. I guess I just wanna know Why so I know not to do that again?” and with that even He thinks he’s done but then he adds: “You’re my friend.”

And that’s such a fuckin clumsy way to end it bc he can’t say the rest of it, the “I know this here isn’t about comfort but I want you to be comfortable anyway” and “the world is shit and I don’t wanna be another person who hurt you” and “I love you.” So he just leaves it at that.

Joseph automatically wants to go “that’s easy, don’t take my clackers then, dipshit” but like. 1, Caesar is being v v nice so he Won’t be mean in return and 2, there’s so much more connected to his Weirdness that could set him off the same way besides his clackers being taken. So instead he just really appreciates the sentiment and Caesar in general and decides that it’s all a too big a can of worms for him to wrangle and he’d rather just weather the painful parts as they come

“It’s fine, you wouldn’t get it anyway, it’s fine.”

“Why?”

“I dunno, just no one gets it! Whatever, it’s weird shit.”

“If you think I don’t get it, fine, then explain it to me!”

And Joseph doesn’t know what to fuckin Say to that bc no one besides his family has ever asked him to do that. It was always just being told to put his stim toys away and stop moving too much and oh fuck just shut up already, never Why.

He makes a vague noise bc he forgets how to Words for a moment bc of that, and Caesar takes it as a question.

“Jojo, we’re gearing up to fight a bunch of gods with ancient magic so that we can get two rings of poison out of your body, and you really think I can’t handle ‘weird’? Because I can, thank you very much, and it’s You, so I don’t Care if it’s weird anyway.

(He ignores the huge fuckin implications of that and just keeps talking.)

"So, will you explain so that I can understand?”

And he’s Smiling and how Dare and oh fuck when did Joseph even manage to look at him again. He stares for a lil too long bc What The Fuck before he goes “Okay.”

And Caesar’s smile grows into a grin like he really is just. genuinely happy to understand this part of Joseph and make sure he doesn’t hurt him again, and Joseph braces himself for an awkward conversation with Hopefully a happy ending.

(And Joseph ends up being right bc Caesar doesn’t Understand, he can’t really fully understand.

But he Tries and more importantly he Listens and he Learns and is v adamant about the fact that Joseph isn’t Weird and Wrong when it comes to these things. So he doesn’t take away the clackers again and he finally connects the dots about why Joseph always lets him lean too much of his weight on him even if he risks toppling the two of them over and so he keeps doing it. He learns Joseph’s hyperfixations and how to prod him into talking about them to make him happy or distract him from shitty things, and what it looks like when his RSD kicks in and how to act around it.

Maybe he doesn’t Get It but it’s part of Joseph, and he loves all the other parts of Joseph too. And also tbh he’s a decent fuckin human being, even if he didn’t love Joseph so much he still wouldn’t act like an asshole about this stuff.)

[polar-stars]

Shigeo Eizan, Erina, Eizan Etsuya, Chigeo, Kimiko and Hayama for the character thing please?

Ohh, I didn’t think anyone would ask for my own characters but ;v; !!! Sure !

Shigeo

general opinion: fall in a hole and die | don’t like them | eh | they’re fine I guess | like them! | love them | actual love of my life [Shigeo is a character I’m really proud of haha ; 7 ; But I’m glad he’s actually well-received. I can only repeat, that I did not expect that]

hotness level: get away from me | meh | neutral | theoretically hot but not my type | pretty hot | gorgeous! | 10/10 would bang [Honestly, I feel a bit weird over commenting on the looks of my OCs ahdhd but, I gotta admit Shigeo is much of my type...but I mean, apparently I’m not alone on that? dshdfjFGJ So many have complimented Shigeo’s appearance now and I’m screaming. Y’all are making his ego grow.]

hogwarts house: gryffindor | S L Y T H E R I N, Shigeo’s a full-fledged snake...what do u think? | ravenclaw | hufflepuff 

best quality: I said it once already, but I would actually say his loyalty is his best quality. Now, the number of people that Shigeo is loyal to is extremely slim but...well, it is a very strong loyalty. It’s just, again, it’s only few who earn that loyalty.

worst quality:  lol. I could name numerous things in that regard. But as I also said once already, I guess his most fatal flaw is that he swallows up his fears, his trauma and a lot of other things in himself and never works through it. 

ship them with:  ShigeChi >; Chieko had multiple ship-options at a certain point, but Shigeo’s only ship options always Chieko and welp ahdh The moment I started fleshing Shigeo out more, their dynamic grew more and more onto me and she also sneaked her way into his character-arc so. 

brotp them with: There’s Moe & Kiyoko, who are really close friends of his and I really love their relationships. But I also gotta bring up Suzume here. Suzume’s and Shigeo’s relationship makes me so happy, despite it not being exactly friendly ahdhd. It’s a lot of fun to think of their banter and interactions to me. Also well, Umino & Yamada deserve their mention as well, so here they go ahdh.

needs to stay away from: Ai Kabutoyama. Pls, don’t ship them. 

misc. thoughts: If “Shokugeki no Kimiko” was animated and had it’s own soundtrack, Shigeo deserves to be having a jazzy theme for himself. 

Erina

general opinion: fall in a hole and die | don’t like them | eh | they’re fine I guess | like them! | love them | actual love of my life  

hotness level: get away from me | meh | neutral | theoretically hot but not my type | pretty hot | gorgeous! | 10/10 would bang 

hogwarts house: gryffindor | slytherin | ravenclaw | hufflepuff 

best quality: I really love how much of a Boss Bitch Erina really is, she steps into a place and she owns it and she knows it. But at the same time, her social awkwardness and also obvious care for Hisako, the PSD later on etc. also make her a cutie at the same time.

worst quality: This is really more on Tsukuda’s part, but I do not like how she’s written in BLUE Arc at all, and how she honestly keeps pushing Soma away while he goes out of his way for her multiple times...

ship them with:  Soma is my favorite choice for her

brotp them with: Hisako !!

needs to stay away from: HER DAD. AND ASAHI. AND HER MOM MAYBE- IDK, give her a better family. 

misc. thoughts: Takumi said in his match against her that if she’d be on the Elite Council “She’d be the zero seat”. And honestly, I kinda found myself wishing for Tsukuda just having run with that instead. Just establish a new seat extra for Erina because she’s that good. It still sounds kinda dumb yes, but not as dumb as making her actual headmistress. With 16. What also bothers me about her being headmistress is that it’s a very busy job, I’d imagine....Let Erina be a normal teen, could you? She was already robbed off a childhood, geez. 

Eizan

general opinion: fall in a hole and die | don’t like them | eh | they’re fine I guess | like them! | love them | actual love of my life  [ Or more of: An Angry Opposum, I found in the trash and that I decided to adopt]

hotness level: get away from me | meh | neutral | theoretically hot but not my type | pretty hot [without bangs] | gorgeous! | 10/10 would bang [wiTH BANGS]

hogwarts house: gryffindor | slytherin [...duh] | ravenclaw | hufflepuff 

best quality: Eizan is SO entertaining to me, you all have no idea. He’s so god-damn funny at times and I’m just ahdhd I love him. Meep, he’s intelligent and tactical and I like that in characters? I wish, we could have seen more of him being smart instead of having him being blinded more and more by rage and vengeance ;v; 

worst quality:  Lmao, do you want a list? His obsession for money? His unscrupulousness? His disregard of fucking...decency?? ahdh I could go on.

ship them with:  //takes out megaphone// nENE KINOKUNI, LADIES AND GENTS. In my eyes, he legit seems to hold some sort-off respect for her and I hold the headcanon that Eizan is actually crushing on her a little ver since middle school. Come on, I do think it’s plausible that he’d find himself attracted to a person like Nene: She’s smart, she’s no pushover, she murders people with just a glance, her hair is green. One of the meanings attributed to the color green is actually...finances, profit, banks, moNEY- 

brotp them with: The few interactions Eizan had with Somei legit cracked me up so...hdhd yeah, Somei. But also...Momo, being real. And of course, Isshiki & Kuga. Can’t forget them.

needs to stay away from: PSD, lol. I’d say Azami, but honestly Eizan seems to handle Azami fine? Azami just shows up at his work and is like: “What u doing owo?” and Eizan replies with “Are you bored or something????” like ahdhd WOW

misc. thoughts: Honestly...Is it plausible to assume that Eizan and Nene actually had a Shokugeki?...A Shokugeki which he won? I mean, somehow he had to earn that seat above her’s......right? (Would have been nice, if Tsukuda could have explained the new Elite 10 Ranking or show what got them there but nOPE)

Chieko

general opinion: fall in a hole and die | don’t like them | eh | they’re fine I guess | like them! | love them | actual love of my life [She’s the first fanchild I ever made. I love her so much]

hotness level: get away from me | meh | neutral | theoretically hot but not my type | pretty hot | gorgeous! | 10/10 would bang [It would break my heart to say anything else...She has insecurities]

hogwarts house: gryffindor | slytherin | ravenclaw | hufflepuff 

best quality: I do love Chieko for how feisty she can be. The girl will mouth off multiple times to one of the most dangerous people at her school and I think it’s neat. 

worst quality: She does take longer to make her moves at times though, sometimes she’s just too careful and overthinking instead of stepping into battle. 

ship them with: Shigeo Eizan. Both of them succeed mainly through intellect, booth in cooking and other areas of life. It’s kind off natural, that they’d get eventually interested in each other. 

brotp them with: Yasu, Hideyoshi & Daisuke mainly, but the rest of PSD as well.

needs to stay away from: Shigeo, according to Yasu.  I don’t know as of right now honestly ahdh

misc. thoughts: Funfact, but her wearing a hairband once she’s a 2nd Year is kinda inspired by Disney’s Cinderella haha 

Kimiko

general opinion: fall in a hole and die | don’t like them | eh | they’re fine I guess | like them! | love them | actual love of my life 

hotness level: get away from me | meh | neutral | theoretically hot but not my type | pretty hot | gorgeous! | 10/10 would bang 

hogwarts house: gryffindor | slytherin | ravenclaw | hufflepuff 

best quality: Kimiko is brave and also most definitely an actor!! And as someone, who’s neither of those, I always admire these qualities ahdh. 

worst quality: Kimiko pretends that she can’t feel feelings like sadness for a good chunk of the story. She plasters a wide smile on her face, even if she’s really not okay and that’s not a good thing...I’m saying this from very strong personal experience.

ship them with: Hiroshi! It was a thing for me from the beginning on!

brotp them with: Mika and later on Kaori, mainly.

needs to stay away from: her brother, okay no ahdhd but well, the nasty part of her family she does not know too well to begin with I’d say

misc. thoughts: I’d LOVE to draw Kimiko more, you gotta believe me on that but her hair is super exhausting to draw ahdhd I love your twin tails Kimi, but they’re suffering. 

Hayama

general opinion: fall in a hole and die | don’t like them | eh | they’re fine I guess | like them! | love them | actual love of my life  

hotness level: get away from me | meh | neutral | theoretically hot but not my type | pretty hot | gorgeous! | 10/10 would bang 

hogwarts house: gryffindor | slytherin(?) | ravenclaw | hufflepuff [I can also picture him win Ravenclaw]

best quality: I kind off love how he’s the straight man in every group of friends he’s in? Someone give the poor man a break ahdhd. But I also really love how determined and ambitious he is, it’s inspiring to see (Which is why I kind off hate, that his shown that he refused to go to BLUE, because he didn’t feel strong enough? Idk, I feel the Akira I met in the Autumn Election wouldn’t have passed out on such a chance)

worst quality: not.....Not a big fan of the Central!Hayama/Soma-Shokugeki being real. I did not really enjoy his performance during that ; 7 ; But that’s just how I personally feel ;v; I don’t really dislike the idea of him joining Central, I just think it could have been done better

ship them with: Hisako!

brotp them with: Alice and Ryo of course 😤!!

needs to stay away from: Azami, haha. (Also...Not into shipping him romantically with Jun. At all. It does kinda creep me out, ngl since I do see her as a sort-off mother-figure in his life...)

misc. thoughts: It’s kinda crime, how he basically triggered the bit of Character development Hisako had, yet they never truly interacted with each other again afterwards ever again?? Like...Why? Why would you do something like this?

HISAKO AND HAYAMA REMATCH, SOMEONE GIVE IT TO ME

[skyedaway]

MY GILA BANGET WEEKEND.

Gila banget in Indonesian means "really crazy", and I would say that the phrase pretty much sums up my experience in going to Jakarta last November 2019.

From what I remember, it was a combination of impulsive decision-making, sudden seat sales from budget airlines, and just the sheer desperation of having a weekender that we found ourselves booking flights for Indonesia, in order to attend EXplOration for Loey's birthday. We had our flights, but we didn't have our concert tickets yet. Nothing would go wrong anyway in ticketing if your internet is fast and there's no pre-selling, right?

Well, we were definitely wrong. Ticketing was a total failure for us and me and my friends ended up giving up on Blibli and just hoping for the best. Reselling prices hiked up to 5 million IDR onwards that we were contemplating just not going at all, but around two weeks before the concert, we were able to purchase them. As a lesson learned, I made a mental note to remember that ticketing for EXO is never ever easy except in SG.

Alright, ticketing solved! My woes are over and all I have to do is fly to Jakarta, and return back on Monday just in time for my quiz. The problem is, my flight wasn't a direct flight. While other friends flew on the Friday evening before the concert, I had to take a Friday midnight flight to KL and then a connecting flight to Jakarta so that I can attend my evening class first. The professor cancelled the class that night, by the way.

This is my first time to experience a connecting flight, and my optimistic ass really thought things won't even go wrong. I was supposed to arrive in KL at 04:35 am on November 23, and then take the 7:00 am connecting flight to Jakarta.  There are, however, things that I forgot to take into account (since I was most probably swamped with schoolwork):

a. Boarding gates will close earlier.

b. My plane to JKT is in KLIA, while my plane to KL lands in KLIA2.

c. Unprecedented changes on the flight time can happen, and if my flight to KL gets delayed, it's all fucked up from there.

Of course, being the chaotic person that I am, I only realized all of these when I was already sprinting from KLIA2 to Immigration, and then taking one of those overpriced taxis that were waiting by the arrivals so I can reach KLIA on time, just because KLIA2's train broke down. By 6:40, I was in KLIA, going for the Lion Air counter since the gates close at 6:45. And to no surprise, the monitors are flashing "GATE CLOSED" for my connecting flight! I was highkey about to cry but I still went for the counter and told the staff that I had a ticket, and they let me pass through. PHEW.

I almost died right there, and I thought that it would be smooth sailing from then on, but the struggle is not yet over.

While Dyandra originally announced that it will open the gates by 11, it made an announcement early in the morning that it was going to move the opening time by 10 am. I arrive in Jakarta at 8 am, then go through Immigration and get my SIM, and yet I have to be in ICE-BSD by 10 am. Travel time will take at least one hour without considering the traffic, and the person who I paid to line up for me was already panicking as well. By this time, I had nothing much except this sort of faith that I will arrive just before the gates open.

I speedwalked again to the arrival hall to meet Kak Anggun (@Albybe14), who was so kind for meeting me in CGK. She helped me get my SIM and brought breakfast and drinks, which was really touching (ERINAs are really another level of kind!). I was so desperate to get to the venue on time that I told her I'm going for the GrabBike, which is a CRAZY idea, but she helped me book it nonetheless. Looking back, I would have messed up if Kak wasn't there, since a number of staff in Jakarta aren't really confident speaking in English, and the language barrier would have made it difficult.

Well, after almost dying a number of times, I arrived in ICE-BSD by 9:45 am, with not a lot of sleep, but hey I survived!

It was fine for a good 20-30 minutes until the gates opened and people just kind of ran to secure a spot on the official line. Chaos, more running. I kinda got lost along the way too because the staff didn't know where the Fest E line was. ASDLKFSDLFSA. Thank God I saw it, but really, why are there staff when they aren’t acquainted with the lines...

I only really got to relax when we were already waiting inside the hall. From there, I was able to meet a few Erina friends, and also made new ones while on the line. Since it's difficult to tell among Southeast Asians, other local fans would just straight up talk to me in Bahasa and I wouldn't understand. Anyway I was so thrilled! For the first time in years, I finally met Ty (@mydancingbear88) in person. I was also able to meet Jess (@chanyeolnet) and Hana (@hannini__) who were so kind for offering their help.

When we finally got in, that was the only time that it dawned to me how so many things have happened in the course of 8 hours, but at least it's worth it! The stage was really close and the atmosphere was amazing. ERINAs are really loud, and they do their fanchants very well. Since it's been a long time since EXO had a concert in Indonesia, you can feel how excited the crowd was.

To sum up the concert experience, it was amazing.

Jongin was absolutely stunning in his blue hair. He gave me a wave and a smile, and he danced in front of us for Ohh La La La.

Chanyeol also waved hi twice, and in the second one he read my printed birthday message which basically was a greeting of happy birthday, and a thank you for making amazing music. He also got the toy snake I threw for Delle (@kyungfusing) during one of the latter stages!

AND THEN THERE'S SEHUN. It was sooooo fun because there were many Xunqis in our row! Sehun smiled so much when he saw the "Vivi appa" uchiwa. He also threw a ball in our direction which I almost caught but it bounced off my palm. I guess it's safe to say that I went home absolutely bias wrecked.

I only got to meet ate Cyndie (@hunniesoos), Delle, and Xel (@kyungseng) once the concert ended! We all agreed that it was a really nice experience, also because we got to sing Happy Birthday to Chanyeol in a crowd, and the atmosphere was really great.

We spent the next morning recollecting our experience, and discussing which of the EXOs biaswrecked us, haha!

The remainder of the trip was spent eating good food and meeting more friends and moots! We went to fx Sudirman to see the SMTOWN Office, which was unfortunately closed, and then ate at Bakso with Mel. We tried the coffee from Fore (which, in my opinion, puts watered down coffee here to shame), and then went to sightsee around the national stadium. Not gonna lie though, Jakarta kinda looked like a few places in Manila, Makati, and BGC, it felt familiar.

While my friends stayed for another day, I had to go back Sunday night so I can attend my classes the following day. It's quite a shame since I really wanted to see more, but hey, studies first!

The flight back home was delayed and I had little sleep before our quiz. I got sick that week too, due to fatigue. Moral of the story : never ever take connecting flights unless it is extremely necessary, and when you do, plan them well!

P.S. Love love love these friends for making it a much better experience, and for lowkey being my police because I had to review in the middle of it all, haha.

[mutant-jojos]

To the Joestar fellas- tell me about your best friend!

I hope you don’t mind me answering this without art because goddamn that would be a lot of people to draw...

Jonathan:

“Hmm... I’m not sure I really have one particular best friend. I guess there is my girlfriend, Erina, and my friend Speedwagon. I’ll start with Erina. Erina’s one of the nicest people I know! She’s studying to be a doctor because she wants to open a clinic that treats mutants, which is great because a lot of doctors have no idea how to deal with us. She’s studying really hard and I’m really proud of her! She’s also really pretty, and she’s tough too, she doesn’t let anyone boss her around. I love her so much.And then there’s Speedwagon... He’s kinda weird and a little rough around the edges, but he’s a great guy. Funny story actually, we met when he tried to pickpocket me! Crazy, right? I’m not sure what he actually does now... But he’s really nice.” 

Joseph:

“Caesar’s great! We’ve been friends for years. We met in high school when he was flirting with this girl and I got kinda jealous because what the fuck man, it’s not fair that he could pick up chicks with the world’s shittiest pickup lines and nobody ever liked me, but so I threw macaroni and cheese at him and then he tried to beat me up but it turned out we both have electricity powers, so we became friends.We still fight over dumb things sometimes, like whether or not Led Zeppelin is better than the Beatles- Which they’re not by the way, I mean don’t get me wrong I love Led Zeppelin, but they’re not the Beatles. Nobody can be on the same level as the Beatles. Wait, what was I saying? Oh yeah, Caesar. So me and Caesar are pretty close. We understand each other, and we’re totally like, partners in crime, yknow? Sometimes literally. Also, he’s pretty hot, and I’m not just saying that because I’m..........Gay- Huh, what? Did I miss anything? Uh, anyway, as I was saying, Caesar’s like legit one of the prettiest guys I’ve ever seen. Actually probably just one of the prettiest people in general, and also I’m pretty sure he knows some sort of black magic, because I don’t think it’s possible to achieve eyeliner that perfect through mortal means. But yeah, Caesar’s pretty great. There’s nobody I’d rather have by my side than him.”

Jotaro:

“Kakyoin... he gets me. Nobody else really does. I mean Joseph and I have always been pretty close, but we’re also pretty different in personality. Kakyoin knows how I think. With him, I don’t have to act a certain way or worry about what he thinks about me or talk more than I want to. It’s nice. Part of the reason I don’t like other people is because no matter what I do, I’m always doing something wrong according to them, but Kakyoin doesn’t do that shit.He’s a pretty cool guy, too. He’s not a bully, but he’s not a pushover either, and he’s not obnoxiously cheerful. He’s chill. We like most of the same stuff, too.”

Josuke:

“Okuyasu’s like, the coolest dude EVER, man. He’s my best bro. We’re way close, we’re like total bros. Best buds. BFFs. Homies. Dynamic duo. Ride or die. What’s that saying- Brother of the mother? No, mother’s brother... brother... Ugh, I dunno, but you get my point. We’re hella close. Joseph said I’m not allowed to say “hella” because I don’t use Tumblr but I don’t care.Okuyasu’s really cool, and he’s got good taste in fashion, and he’s fun to be around. We’ve done a lot of fun stuff together. Like this one time, we found this old office chair in the street, you know the spinny kind with the wheels and the tilty back and you can kinda bounce it. And the street our house is on is on a little bit of a hill. Jonathan’s always all ‘Don’t play in the street because cars come around that curve really fast!’ because I guess Jonathan’s kind of a pussy sometimes, but we found this chair and Okuyasu was like ‘Dude, what if we rode the chair down the street?’ and I was like ‘Yeah bro that’d be epic!’. So I fixed up the chair nice and shiny new, and then we took turns with one of us sitting in the chair and the other standing on the back pushing it with your feet- is there a word for that? Like with a skateboard. Anyway, so we rode the chair down the street a bunch of times and it went so fucking fast, and we were getting really good at riding it, so we decided to try going solo. Then Okuyasu, get this, he stood up on the chair! It fell over pretty fast, but first he did a pretty sick jump! It was SO COOL. But then the chair fell over and he went flying into the woods, and he almost hit a tree head first, but then he teleported out of the way just in time. It was so much fun, I wish Koichi and Yukako could’ve been there with us, I dunno what happened to the chair but that was one of our greatest ideas ever. ...Wait, what were were talking about?”

senbatsu sunday. 8tos and nogi 3rd.

ayy it’s sunday. i know i’ve been less active recently. this is also true of stage48, /jp/, reddit. it’s just that i’ve finished translating all the non-Eng Ikudon work, so i decided to take a break. also school and major depression continue to occupy my life.

anyway, weeabatsu is fun, therapeutic, and easy for me. so here’s this weeks changes. the top18 seems pretty unbreakable at this point. long post incoming.

01. ske down 9.32 points, 14.32 above average. as a group, ske took the biggest loss this week, yet they still have the best average. i really can’t explain or understand what makes ske girls so good. i finally decided that rena is truly best matsui. i was surprised to see her in Million Yen Women (which was pretty decent), and even more surprised to realize that was her in Nietzsche Konbini. 

02. nogi up 0.96 points, 8.21 above average. don’t let the weeabatsu fool you; nogizaka is my favorite group. i re-watched nogibingo8 specifically so that i could boost some of the 3rd gens out of the bottom ranks. as result, nogi is the only group with an average increase this week. i will say, however, that our top girls are getting a little stale (ikuta through hoshino). but that’s the result of them being more successful/busy and caring less about variety.

03. keyaki down 3.72 points, 8.03 above average. lord, i wish they would wear those suits all the time. our girl techi is kakkoii as fuck. hiragana 2nds are inbound. i feel really bad for hiragana 1sts tho. they’re the same gen as nogi 3rds (and just as good imo). but if we don’t mix them into kanji senbatsu, i don’t think hiraganas will ever be considered “true” keyakis.

04. akb down 2.53 points, 7.12 above average. taniguchi megu (90), owada nana,  mukaichi mion, mogi shinobu, oshima ryoka (160-163), and izuta rina (214) added.

05. nmb down 4.85 points, 1.45 above average. murase, yabushita, and fujie took the biggest hits this week. they were so high to begin with because of recency bias (which i will never truly be rid of). i want to say that i’m sure nmb would be higher than akb if there was more subbed content.

06. hkt down 4 points, 12.3 below average. i used to feel about hkt as i currently feel about 8s (read below), but now i know it’s full of good girls. i don’t know how well each group sells, but from my perspective it feels like they’re in a more hopeful position than ske and nmb. i finally let go of murashige and tanaka as my numbers 3 and 4 who have lost some of their shine.

07. sdn down 0.6 points, 35.2 below average. every time, i’m surprised that sdn isn’t the lowest rank group. i guess 8os and ngt are still new to me.

08. ngt down 8.36 points, 40.36 below average. no updates involving ngt really. and there pretty much won’t be unless subbers pick up ngt shows.

09. team8 added, 57.5 points below average. six members: okabe rin, hayasaka tsumugi, oguri yui, yamada nanami, oda erina, and yokoyama yui (169-174). i want to say that i don’t really like the team8 concept. i regularly refer to them as the “jailbait toyota shills,” coming from a guy who still thinks hkt is too young on average. that said, these six girls aren’t that bad. in fact, i think okabe, hayasaka, and oguri in particular have a lot of potential. i also like WRH as MCs if that means anything.

overall, the ranks are nearing the way i actually feel about each group with sakamichi at the top followed by akb/nmb. we still have ske as a weird outlier though, and somehow ngt dropped below sdn’s average.

i’m patiently waiting for subbers to pick up ngt, stu, and =love content. maybe someday i’ll be nihongo-proficient enough to do it myself. i’m also curious about hello!p girls who i’m surprised have so few subs out.
