#when you try to trace the rumor back to the source and you're the source

[pavlovianpanic]

a rumor about max goes around that she doesn't know how to read, gets back to nathan, and he's like "well that makes sense, i always knew that about max, she's an idiot, whoever started that rumor is right on the money" and then remembers later that night that he's the one that started the rumor.

Overworked.

°•~《☆》~•°

Pairing: Leo valdez x gn!reader

A/n: Sorry for not posting a fic in awhile, I got a huge wave of demotivation (I'm also running a jason grace rp blog ( @jason-the-kabob ) )

Warnings: nothing!

Enjoy!

°•~《☆》~•°

When you walked into bunker 9, all you saw was a mad house.

Empty soda cans littering the floor, screws, scrap metal, and tools. Anything you would find in a hephestus kids' hands was littered around Leo Valdez's workspace in Bunker 9.

"Leo?" You called out after not seeing him in his usual seat. The reason you came into bunker 9 was to find leo after he missed lunch for the 4th time this week.

"Over...over here!" You heard his familiar voice call out. He sounded tired, worn down, frantic even.

You frown as you walk over to the source of Leo's call, where you find him rummaging through scrap pieces of metal and other machinery while mumbling under his breath.

"Uh, Leo? ... I brought you food." You said, your concern increasing with every mumble that escaped his lips.

"Yeah, yeah... thank you, I'll eat it later." Leo mumbled like he was in a trance. You were 95% sure he was going to forget about it until he accidently knocks it over.

You set down the plate of food on a nearby work table and grabbed Leo's arm to steer his gaze towards you.

Leo turned to meet your eyes. You saw the bags under his own half-lidded eyes and the pure exhaustion in them.

You immediately knew he needed rest. No matter how much he'll say 'he's fine' and 'doesn't need it'. Leo Valdez will be taking a nap, even if you have to knock him out.

"Leo." You said, your tone serious and yet concerned. Leo hummed in response, his attention focused only on you. Or at least, his eyes were solely focused on you. His hands were fidgeting with a piece of scrap machinery and metal.

"You need rest. You haven't slept in awhile—and dont try lying and saying you fell asleep while you were working, that does not count, Leo Valdez." You told him, looking him dead in the eye to try and get you point across.

Leo huffed and started on a ramble. "But—but i have so much stuff to get done! The demigod-safe phones, i-i just need to tweak a few things and then i promise I'll—"

You grabbed his chin, your face inches from leos, putting him in enough temporary shock to get him to stop talking. You could feel his breath spreading over your face.

"Sleep." Was all you said.

Leo whined but gave in.

He sleepily stumbled over to his couch in the corner of bunker nine which was covered in both pillows and blankets, plopping down on his back with a loud 'mmph!'

Leo looked to you with pleading eyes, and you knew what was coming next. You wished you would've left as soon as he hit the couch.

Leo made these grabby-grabby hands towards you with a whine.

"Cuddleeeee." He whimpered.

"Leo, this is why there are rumors spreading around camp about us having an affair or something."

"I don't care. C'mere or I'm not sleeping."

"Your siblings will find us here. They'll–"

"C'mereeee."

Well, you weren't just gonna let him die of exhaustion.

With a dramatic groan, you walked over to Leo, who was laying comfortably with half-lidded eyes and waiting for you to join him.

You sighed deeply before plopping down onto Leo's chest and wrapping your arms around his torso.

Leo's embrace was rather... warm. It was comforting, like how a home should feel.

Leo wrapped his arms carefully around you, tracing circles around your back. You shivered at the soft, yet hot touch.

You're a little glad you didn't leave so soon.

This was nicer than you expected.

You carefully nuzzled up into Leo's neck, triggering a shiver out of him.

Gods, he was so warm. Why was he so comfy? It seems a little abnormal to feel this much like a home.

"Maybe," Leo spoke all of a sudden, though his voice was quiet and sleepy.

"Maybe this should happen more often." He whispered.

You took In his words, slowly memorizing the way he pronounced every word subconsciously.

"...maybe. though, you shouldn't be one step into the grave next time." You retorted back, a little... relived he was just as eager for other moments like this.

You had never been more peaceful.

Leo chuckled. "Alright, alright. I'll take better care of myself. For you, love." He whispered into your ear, his breath hot against you.

"You...you better." You mumbled, a little thrown of course by the petname. You snuggled into him further like it was the only thing keeping the both of you alive.

Leo only chuckled, but you knew the truth.

On the inside, he was estatic to have this with you again.

And maybe, just maybe, something more.

Finally, I finished a little blurb :)

[kaaytea]

Hi kay!! can u write for kuroo where he tries that pinning your girlfriend against the wall prank on the reader please please

Kuroo Can't Kabedon

Warnings: reader is a manager, but I used gn! pronouns <3

A/n: Hello~ I'm assuming you meant the Kabedon thing? Unless there's a different prank I'm unaware of. I hope you like it and thanks for requesting 💕

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

For some unknown reason, Kabedonning had become a huge trend at Nekoma over the past few weeks

The rumors say that it started during a game of truth or dare the baseball team played, but honestly, the entire thing has become so wide spread that it's hard to trace it back to an original source

It was hard for Kuroo to ignore the Kabedon trend; everywhere he went someone was pulling it, didn't matter the relation of the two participants, the students were doing more for fun at this point

(for jokes, Kuroo had done it to Yaku, which was hilarious for everyone else, but not for Kuroo because he got an elbow to the stomach for startling the libero)

Kuroo was very interested in doing it to you, but was kind of hesitant after getting obliterated by Yaku

He didn't feel like getting elbowed again . . .

But ya know, Yaku is (usually) more physical and aggressive than you are, so why not have some fun!

Practice rolls around, you walk in ready to start your work and that's when Kuroo decides to strike

Now, you're literally just try to get your work done and you see Kuroo walking over

And you think it's probably some Captainy thing he wants to discuss before practice officially starts, so you wave at him as he approaches

Only he doesn't slow down

He is wAlkIng closer and closer and instinctively you think he's upset or something, so you kind of awkwardly scoot away from him to not bother him

But he keeps coming C L O S E R ?!

You are now up against the wall and thats when it clicks

This little bitch is going to Kabedon yOu?!

Nah . . . Not if you have anything to do with it

The second his hand goes to trap you to the wall, you slip from under it, grab his arm and switch places with him, pressing his body to the wall and slAmming your hand next to his head

The gym falls to complete silence and Kuroo can only blink back at you, completely baffled by what happened

To tease him even more, you lean close to his face and say: "Gotcha, Captain~"

He's so flustered he can't even speak

The silence is broken by an attempted suppressed snort from Kenma which quickly falls into him laughing at his friend and a fallout of teasing from the rest of the team

[Bonus stuff, ig]

Practice is finally over and you're putting away some equipment in a storage room when large hands grips your waist and spins you around

Kuroo then traps you between both his hands, sending you a smirk before leaning in close to your ear

"Gotcha."
