#why ya gotta ruin the win?

[ringer04]

Aww now Drew has to be dead to me...that's a bummer.

[yuquinzel]

atsumu who goes above and beyond to impress you, his crush and classmate of four years, in all definitions of “impress.”

honestly how the fuck isn't it obvious to you by now, he might as well be walking around with “i like y/n” tattooed on his forehead.

you mention you like guys that can cook once and holy fuck atsumu who still doesn't know how to use the microwave without quite literally burning the food, who's never chopped onions before without ending up with enough cuts to bandage his whole hand— that atsumu practices for weeks and stays up till 2 am to prepare for the lunch he'll make for himself, because osamu said said no and then because you bring homemade lunch to stay and eat in class with your friends— he'll casually just plop down on the seat next to you, his friends will then very obviously willingly talk loudly about his lunch and he'll just throw in a, “yeah, made it maself, 'm a solid chef, who do ya think taught 'samu?”

okay if that didn't get your attention, no worries, what are his friends there for?

if atsumu gets lucky in a day and catches you chatting away with your friends in the hallway, then he instructs his friends to walk past you, hover in the corner, just within your earshot— “'kay, so when we pass her by, ya gotta speak ma name real loud, loud enough so she can hear it, but don't annoy her”

and so for the time you stand there, trying to hold a conversation with your friends, all your mind can really focus on is the, “atsumu was so fucking good in practice today, if we're gonna win, then it'll be all him”

and then you hear the subject of the conversation speak, “nah, we're a team, every time we win, it's all thanks ta you guys,” because you also mentioned you like modest, humble guys.

god forbid the days you're absent in class.

atsumu who's sulking all day, doesn't know what the fuck is going on in classes, he's half in and half not in every conversation, even his passes are sloppy and weak. to the point osamu and suna are concerned, well, in their own ways, “are ya constipated or something, yer missin’ your spikes and yer passes as clumsy,” osamu says off-handedly.

“i heard y/n didn't come today, i think her friends said she's sick.” suna chips in, and atsumu shrinks in his spot like a grumpy cat.

“i already know that, wouldn't have come today if i knew she wasn't comin’.”

“you'd miss practice then.”

“don't care, don't talk to me, don't wanna do anything, what's the point.”

“down fucking bad,” suna muses, and atsumu glares at him.

atsumu's day is ruined and his disappointment is immeasurable. why did you get sick? how could you get sick? now he's worried and half of himself and his passes are shit and god, he wants to see you. he feels like he could die.

then when you finally show up the next day after what felt like eternity to atsumu, you find on your desk a pile of snacks with a little note— banana milk, everyone knows it's your favourite, the bar of chocolate they only sell down the convenience store near the school, the glazed donuts that you're always eating in class, and a lot of bubblegums that only one person in class knows you like— atsumu's handwriting is rushed and barely comprehensive but you know it by heart because he doesn't know you saw him slip the note you found in your locker this morning, and countless other mornings—

“i hope you smile because of this”

atsumu as a secret admirer is... not so secret because he's still unaware that you see him every morning, and let him giggle to himself as he slips the notes and the strips of bubblegums in your locker— you don't even like that flavor.

but he gave them, so you think they might just be your favourite.

then again, maybe atsumu doesn't want to be a secret admirer.

atsumu has a crush on you and you know that— he's very obvious. but he's also very dense and doesn't realise that everyone besides him can see you like him too. he doesn't know the only reason you bring homemade lunch is because he had started to eat lunch in class with his friends. you stand in the hallways with your friends pretending to talk so that when atsumu's walking past you, his friends will practically yell his name and you'll see him blushing shyly. he still doesn't know you come to his every match, cheering for him and scream with joy at every one of his scores.

atsumu makes it obvious he has a crush on you but is stupidly dense that you reciprocate all the same :'))))

— ☾⋆⁺₊🕸✧ SERO HANTA !

this mofo is the most annoying lil tease ever

the minute you pull out your lip gloss, all of sudden you have his undivided attention

let’s say you were at your desk and he was on the bed on his phone, not paying you any mind

you check to see if he is watching you and luckily he isn’t so you proceed to put it on

and if I know black women as well as I think I do, considering I am one you put a good amount of that bitch; lips all shiny and shit dripping diamonds 

but halfway through, you look up and this motherfucker is staring right back at you

he done sat all the way up, resting on his knees and waiting on you to finish 

he has the audacity to smile when you make eye contact annoying lil shit, even to start giggle when you glare back at him 

he’s the type to let you finish, put the cap on, put the lip gloss away and then swoop in and fuck it all up 

i can not tell you how angry i am right now

“what? got something to say, baby?” “nigga, fuck you.” 

It’s war that you never win unless you know for sure that he is unaware

newsflash: that shit never happens either

you don't even have the option of running unless you ready to be taped to the floor

all he gotta do is whip some out and boom! ya ass is grass!

as soon as you put the lip gloss down, he casually walks over, grabs your cheeks and smashes his lips straight into yours before calmly going to sit back down

lil fucker doesn’t even bother wiping it off for a while either

“thanks for sharing, my love.” fuck this nigga bro

but it’s not like you can argue as much, his kisses are so sweet and if you ever wanted a kiss, just put on some lip gloss; win-win when intentional

plus, all the shawties want this man (can't blame them) so lowkey the lip gloss smears let them bitches know he not single !

— ☾⋆⁺₊🌟🫨✧ MIRIO TOGATA !

as soon as he knows that your about to put some on- he’s there, boi can sense it through the walls and shit

he just knows and now that he does, he will stop at nothing to get to you 

even if you successfully get far away to put it on and have it on for a couple of minutes, the second you are in his line of sight it’s over 

running away is like an unfair game of tag, that bitch cheats

his quirk makes it so easy to get to you and the lil gremlin is so fucking fast (although class 1-a praises your ability to get as far as you did) 

“sunshine~ !” “aht, go play with tamaki or some shit! i just put this on!” “no can do, sunshine!” 

once he’s got you in a pretty tight hold, he grabs your face and messily kisses you and wipes the extra lip gloss off

He then nuzzles into your neck and places kisses there, asking for forgiveness 

“Aww come on, sunshine! You know I can’t resist and plus you can just put more on later!” mirio, lemme go before i slap up upside the head. i can't stand you.” “that’s why you’re sitting in my lap!” “LET ME GO-”

he’s a big ole ball of happiness and just laughs at your frustration, knowing that you can’t stay mad forever (brat knows you love him too much)  

— ☾⋆⁺₊🪶🪽✧ KEIGO TAMAKI / HAWKS !

he comes out of no where and he knows what you doing, shawty

and when he does, one by one, little feathers start filtering into the room, circling around you 

little by little, you start to see the feathers around the vanity you're sitting at

one look in the mirror and you see him standing by the doorway with that sly as smirk ouu i could smack him

“…keigo tamaki.” “yes, dove?” “ you betta get yo feathers outta here, boy” “aw but i think they like you~”

cornball ass nigga 

ofc he doesn't move from his position and neither do his feathers- and don't bother trying to drag it out either, he's been a hero for too long to not know the waiting game

once you’re finished, the feathers stop circling around and just stop in the air, waiting for yo ass to move.

you can try to look for a way out but you not succeeding, them feathers are acting like a barrier, moving when you move and the one controlling them is cheesing like an idiot 

“keigo, baby, come on. i just put this on.” “yeah well, you can just put more on later- i'll even buy you more.” “...bird brain.” “i love you too~”

fortunately, he’s much more neater than the others but that just means he’s taking everything with him when he moves away

and ofc you can't move until all the feathers back off, one wrong move and they will swarm you honey (im telling you the one controlling them don't know how to fucking act)

when the feathers are gone, is when you finally get some hits in

“GOD DAMN IT, KEIGO! THAT’S THE FOURTH TIME TODAY, NIGGA!!” “aww come on, dove! it’s fun to tease you like this!”

he’s laughing so loudly and having such a good time that you pipe down and admit defeat for the fourth time that day (he's beautiful when he's happy so just let it go stink) 

— ☾⋆⁺₊🧨💢✧ KATSUKI BAKUGO !

THIS NIGGA BRO

HE DOESNT EVEN LET YOU PUT IT ON PROPERLY BEFORE HE SWOOPS IN MESSES IT UP

it’s absolutely futile to run from him, he’ll get way too excited and start chasing you down like some animal

“whatcha got there, huh?” “AHT! go on somewhere, bakugo! go mind yo business!” 

he just loves fucking with you and making you angry, it's his favorite past time

it's just you two running all through the dorms, jumping over tables and couches, ducking between people, screaming at the top of your lungs, causing chaos and giving iida a heart attack

once Bakugo has caught you because he will and throws you over his shoulder like a bag of fucking potatoes wit his rude ass, he treks all the back to his dorm and proceeds to literally smash his lips into yours 

after he's done with his short tyranny, he just play-fights you as you try to hit him, smiling like he won the lottery  

“WHY THE FUCK DO YOU ALWAYS DO THIS!” “STOP YELLING, DUMBASS!! IT’S NOT THE END OF WORLD AND PLUS YOU GOT MORE!!” “THAT IS NOT THE POINT, NIGGA!!” 

after a while he kinda forces cuddles upon you until you not angry anymore and it's hard to be when he starts rubbing ya back and sides, pulling you into his chest

do not get it twisted. he does it on purpose b/c he knows that it's real soothing- damn near his tactic every time he does this doesn't stop it from feeling good tho

eventually and as planned, it ends in y'all taking a nap after running around the dorm god knows how many times

“bakugo, i’m still upset witchu nigga.” “no you’re not, now go to sleep”

— ☾⋆⁺₊🐈‍⬛🌀✧ HITOSHI SHINSOU !

ouuuu new contender !

he is the most excited you have ever seen him

the moment you even pull out the lil clear tube of gloss, he's right behind you waiting with a small smile

anyone looking from afar would think it's just a bf looking at his gf reapplying her lip gloss vv lovingly...little do they know

that man is waiting behind you with a damn vengeance and best believe you not even getting far this is time i remind you who his teacher is: AIZAWA !!

"toshi?" "...yes, pretty?" "i swear if you mess up my gloss, we gon have some problems." "what are you talking about? i would never do such a thing." liar.

the moment your compact mirror closes shut is the exact same moment he wraps his arm around your waist and pulls you in close

and he does the whole works: arm around your waist, that hand rubbing your lower back, one hand holding your face as his thumb rubs against the top of your cheekbone while gently getting you to look up at him you guys im being very self indulgent with this

he's just so soft and so so so cute when his lil smirk that when he does kiss you, he doesn't take all of it off, just a lil bit !

he chuckles when he backs away, using his thumb to wipe away any that might have smeared

AND THEN PROCEEDS TO WALK AWAY

"...i hope aizawa whoop yo ass during training today." "ouch, that hurts pretty. it's too bad i'd do it again as long as i get to kiss you." fuck this nigga bro

[imjustavenuxwithaboomerang]

i showed my sister the equestria girls movies last week because i needed a win and these were her thoughts:

equestria girls:

"sunset, you've gotta wait till your goons are gone before code-switching"

"sunset knows she's a horse so being with flash is kinda weird"

"don't like snips and snails"

"pan rainbow dash?" (i asked if she had any thoughts on their human designs and that was it, idk what to tell ya)

"why are the people colored in this reality?"

"why is rarity british?" (overall thought about the whole franchise)

"when did we fucking ask him? nobody asked him to join" (about flash playing guitar during the cafeteria song)

^but yeah she didn't really vibe with flash but she found the "one no would've been fine" line funny

"laughter" "no, it's insanity"

"i didn't know there was another way" "i don't give a fuck"

rainbow rocks:

"why is the moon, cheese?"

"i like the names. in case you weren't sure this was about music" (said during the opening credits when it showed the dazzlings)

"to be fair, you did ruin everything" (towards sunset)

"somebody needs to slap rainbow"

she really wanted to protect fluttershy, i could tell

she also wasn't necessarily loving flash x twilight during the first movie but definitely wasn't after he made twilight cry so-

friendship games:

"great, a murder board"

"why are you keeping tabs [on chs]? maybe you should focus on your other students" (towards cinch)

"what do you think i should do?" "you should keel over and die"

"sugarcoat, just stab me in the heart, why don't you"

"she looks like she belongs in spongebob, derogatory" (about cinch)

"twilight is doing disney knees"

"cinch is a bitch, cinch is a bitch. cinch is a winch, cinch is a winch" (said in a sing-songy way)

"why's this bitch singin'?" (again about cinch)

"we want what we deserve" "who said you deserve it, you fucking bitch?"

can you tell she hates cinch??

also made a couple jokes about how cadence and luna seemed like girlfriends in all of their scenes together (which was actually really valid)

legend of everfree:

"what do y'all do?" (towards celestial and luna)

"[the opening credits sequence] is gonna be at the bottom because it's giving me home by phillip phillips"

"and this is my brother, timber spruce" "TERRY?" (as in terry from tdp, which is where i got the cargo shorts thing from, so let's all thank my sister)

seemed to not be the biggest fan of sci-twi x timber ("just timber!")

"do we have watches!? cause they've mentioned time twice" "the sun dial" "but it's gonna be dark, she said it doesn't work at night!" (funny conversation that doesn't work in hindsight because they apparently had their phones with them the whole time)

"i don't know why but i'm getting trans from rainbow, cause everyone else is drawn with boobs and she's not. in that shot at least"

"if i see a man coming out of the woods, i think he's just buried a body"

"that's a disgusting design i'm sorry" (about gloriosa's villain look)

"sorry i thought he was going to kill his sister, he saw the ax and i thought he was just gonna- this is a children's movie. just for a split second"

“Ouch.”

The expression she gave him made him break character and laugh.

“You know that didn’t hurt,” she said while shading in an area.

He smirked, watching as the needle glided over his skin. “I know, and I gotta mess with you a little.”

“Not amused, Christian,” she murmured, wiping away the excess ink. 

He always loved how focused she’d become while working. 

They’d been friends for years. Y/N would touch up his tattoos during a break in town. Christian would come by after her shop closed, and they’d talk for hours or go out for drinks. The attraction was always there, but he never acted on it.

Was it nerves? 

It could be, but Christian valued his friendship with Y/N; he didn't want to ruin it with one misstep–especially since she was in a current relationship.

With a heavy sigh, Y/N placed the tattoo gun on the table, switching it off. She removed her gloves before wiping the sweat from her brow.

“All finished. Tell me what you think?”

Humming, he got up and gazed at his reflection in the mirror. Studying the new piece, he nodded in approval.

“Damn. You outdid yourself; Love. This is great.” Giving her his award-winning smile and wink, he gently squeezed her hand.

“Thank you.”

Y/N felt her cheeks warm from his touch. She brushed it aside, distracting herself by wiping the area with antibiotic ointment and wrapping it with plastic wrap.

“It’s all good. You can take the wrap off in a few hours, and make sure to wash it with fragrance-free soap and use some alcohol-free moisturizer,” she instructed while cleaning up her workspace.

Christian nodded as he got out of the chair, stretching his limbs. He glanced over at her for a moment. “You hungry, love?” 

She scoffed as she sprayed the cleaner on the table before cleaning it with paper towels. “You have to ask? Order whatever you like and have it delivered here, and I gotta clean up this place.”

He seemed surprised by her answer as he scrolled through the list of restaurants on the app. Usually, they’d go out to eat, but he wondered why the change now.

“Everything alright?”

She shrugged while putting the ink away. “Don’t feel like being social today is all.”

Y/N was avoiding the subject, but why make him worry? Her problems were her problems, and she’d figure out the rest. Besides, he was busy jet-setting around the world. Her life seemed so insignificant compared to his. Christian decided not to pry and put the order in before helping her around the shop while they waited for their takeout.

He hummed to himself as he swept, bobbing his head. Y/N looked up with interest.

“That sounds good.”

His eyes widened in surprise. “Really?”

She smiled for the first time that day, brushing her locs off her face. “Uh-huh. Is it something you’re working on?”

“Might be, just foolin’ around with some stuff with Live. See where it goes, ya know.”

Y/N plopped down on the couch with a grunt. “Well, it’s great. I hope I get the first listen when it’s finished.”

“Of course, Love. Anything for you.”

Y/N bit down on her lip, avoiding his gaze. Why did he do this to her? No matter the situation, butterflies always formed in her belly when it came to him. 

“Y/N–”

They didn’t realize how much time had passed as a knock at the door caught them. She was relieved by the distraction. Christian went to retrieve the food and returned moments later, arms full of bags. The smells made her mouth water.

“Sushi?”

“Mhmm,” he answered, handing her a pair of chopsticks and one of the containers.

Y/N opened it to see her favorite sashimi arranged beautifully. “Salmon sake? You remembered?”

Christian gave her a wink. “Love, when it comes to you, I remember everything.”

Fuck. He was doing it again.

Noticing her expression, Christian sat back from her to give her room. “Sorry, Y/N.”

She placed the container, shaking her head. “No, no, it’s fine…I-I…shit…you’re the best. Seriously. I feel like I’m ruining the mood.”

“You’re not, Y/N. I understand if you don’t want to chat about it.”

She grabbed one of the pieces of salmon with her chopsticks popping it into her mouth before speaking up again. 

“It’s this.”

She opened her phone, hit a few buttons, and pushed it toward him. Christian glanced down, reading the text messages to himself. His brows knitted in frustration.

“Is he serious? What the fuck?”

Y/N shrugged, picking at the wasabi and swirling it in the soy sauce. “I’ve tried to wrap my mind around it, but it didn’t make sense. It hasn’t hit me that he broke up with me yet.”

Christian set his chopsticks down and stared at her. “He didn’t deserve you, Love.”

She scoffed softly. “Then why do I feel like shit?”

He closed the distance between them, moving to the couch beside her. With care, he took her hands into his.

“Y/N.”

She met his gaze after a moment of gathering her thoughts. 

“Yes?”

“You have no clue how beautiful you are, inside and out. I-I…fuck…I don’t wanna make a fool out of myself, but I need to confess this to you, Love.”

Worry crossed her face. What could he possibly say? 

“Christian?”

He chuckled softly, glancing at the intricate art in her arms and hands. “You don’t know?”

She blinked at him curiously. “Know what?”

“How much I like you, Love…like a lot. You’re constantly on my mind when we’re not together. I never admitted to it until now cause I didn't want to ruin our friendship.”

“Christian–”

He brushed his hair back, feeling his nerves return. “I know this is a lot to take in. I understand this timing sucks, but I couldn’t go on without telling you my feelings.”

It was a lot to take in. Y/N couldn’t believe her ears. Christian. As in the Christian Yu just revealed, he liked her. Her.

So many things swirled in her mind. How had she not noticed up until this point?! Being so wrapped up in her ex maybe cause her tunnel vision. Of course, she thought Christian was great. Hell, they spent enough time together to come to that conclusion. It never registered that he could find her attractive, though. That was certainly a surprise.

Clearing her throat, she gave him a small smile as the small circles he drew with his thumbs on her hands calmed her.

“You’re right. It is a lot to take in right now. I-It never occurred to me that you felt this way. I-I’m happy you could be honest with me about this.”

His cheeks became flushed under her stare. “I-I know this may be forward, but may I kiss you?”

She pulled her hand away to cover her mouth. “But I just ate.”

His dropped as he scooted closer to her. “I don’t care. I love everything about you, Y/N.”

Removing her glasses, she closed her eyes as his hand caressed her cheek. 

Damn, she was beautiful. His lips found her with ease as a breathy sigh left her lips. His lips were so soft and warm. He guided her gently, pressing her body against his. Her hands found their way to his shoulders as the kiss deepened.

He let out a guttural sound as their tongues touched. She was addicting. He couldn’t get enough of her. Y/N felt her body become aflame as he guided her to lie on the couch. Breaking the kiss, he pulled away to gaze at her. 

“You’re so beautiful, Y/N,” he whispered.

She suddenly felt shy, but it only added to her charm. Her fingers tangled into his dark locks, making him murmur with contentment.

“Gonna kiss you again. Is that okay?”

“Just kiss me,” she whispered back.

There was no hesitation in that one. Rough but passionate, their bodies molded to each other. His hands explored her body, unzipping her jacket and cupping her breasts as she keened into his touch. Grabbing her legs, he wrapped them around his waist. The denim from his jeans added to the sensation between her legs. 

The leggings she wore did little to stop her arousal. Moaning, she tried to keep herself in control, not wanting to aggravate the new tattoo on his chest. His fingers dragged down her stomach as her top hiked up. She shivered under his touch even more.

“I-Ian,” she rasped out.

He groaned, biting his lip. “Fuck, that is hot. Call me that baby, please.”

Christian’s lips found their way to her neck nibbling and teasing her skin. His nips grew stronger as he found a place on her neck to suckle. Y/N threw her head as more sounds of pleasure passed her lips.

It wasn’t until she felt his cock brush against her core through his jeans that she touched his chest.

“C-Christian?”

He paused his kissing to look at her. “Yes, love.”

She bit her lip, feeling nervous. “As much as I’d love to continue this…”

He nodded in understanding, sitting on the couch and helping her up. She adjusted her clothing and smoothed her locs.

“Trust me, I want this, but not in my shop,” she said with a smile.

He laughed with a nod. “I agree.” He leaned in and kissed her. 

“How about we finish dinner and get out of here? We can go somewhere and talk about what this means for us.”

“I like the sound of that,” she answered, pecking him on the lips. Standing, she walked over to the floor-length mirror, ensuring she was presentable.

“What am I gonna do about this?”

He came up behind her wrapping his arms around her waist. He smirked, seeing the darkened spot at the base of her throat. 

“We’ll figure it out or something else.”

“Such as?”

A mischievous smirk appeared on his face. “I could add a few more to match.”

With a snort, Y/N poked his stomach and rolled her eyes. “Don’t flatter yourself. It’s only fair I return the favor.”

“Can’t wait, love.”

I gotta tell ya, the biggest hater for none asshole characters can be the writer. and mha proves it, i mean i can't believe people are this stupid to not know bad writing and pandering to the lowest common denominator, or even favoritism.

Hi @mega321boom

It's bc Hori cultivated his audience. If you started MHA to see Izu winning, well you are the sucker.

Hori made all this for the BK...and as soon BK became popular, time to extended more of the protection for his abusive characters.

Aizawa

Bk

Endy

Afo (yes, he dies but Yoichi never won against his abuser)

Also can we talk how Izu and Mirio? Bc Izu getting ofa was supposed to be a big thing but hori ruined that by making Mirio. Bc it makes way more sense for am to pick mirio sense the kid is practically ready to be the next symbol.

Could Izu reach that level? Sure but it would required time and a good mentor. Things hori will never give to Izu.

Time was the essence for am...so why not pick am?

Bc Nighteye was big creep. That's it.

Izu saving the PoS is nice but in my humble opinion it's not enough to justify giving a quirk so special...plus, even if it (not shitting on Izu or am) am makes no attempt to know Izu.

[dr-spectre]

Hey Spectre, got a simple question for ya this time. Did you like either of the story book Sonic games?(I think that's what they were called. I'm talking about 7 Rings and The Black Knight)

Ah.... Sonic and the Secret Rings, and Sonic and the Black Knight huh. THOSE games hmm?

Well, i feel like these two games share the same positives and negatives. Both have really great narratives, presentation, music, art style, etc. But the gameplay is just.... Uh... Not the best the series can offer you know? To say it lightly....

Secret Ring's story is kinda crazy because it's actually about the toxic relationship between Shahra who is the guide of the game, and the villain Erazor Djin (yes that's his name). A Sonic the Hedgehog story actually being about an abusive relationship between two genies and Sonic helps Shahra overcome her troubles and eventually defeat Erazor Djin is crazy to me. I'm not joking around btw. And it's actually done very well and in a subtle way too...

The cutscenes too look phenomenal and hold up very well cause you know, it's just artwork and it looks DAMNNNN GOOD! The ost is just MMMMMM!!!! Look it up if you get the chance, it has a lot of vocal tracks and they are very catchy. Same with Black Knight.

However the gameplay.... oh man... Now look, i played this on the wii and didn't use a regular controller on dolphin. And let me tell ya, by the time the game was done, i was so happy it was over....

Sonic doesn't stop running and you control him by tilting the wii remote... Everything is shaking and tilting and sometimes it just does NOT work! The level design somewhat accommodates for it and you know what, sometimes the game can be.... fun... It's kind of a guilty pleasure for me but that doesn't mean it's a good game gameplay wise, hell naw. It sucks.

The final boss WILL hurt your arms and give you a damn good workout lmao. Also, you have to UNLOCK BETTER CONTROLS VIA AN RPG LEVELLING UP SYSTEM! WHY!?!? WHY DO I GOTTA UNLOCK BETTER TURNING AND EQUIP IT?!?!? If i have to slog through hours upon hours of grinding just to get better controls then I'm sorry, that's a bad game in my eyes tbh. I don't care if it "gets good after 20 hours." You can fuck off with that shit.

However Black Knight on the other hand, that's a pretty good game and i can say that with confidence. The story of Black Knight is even more crazy and surprisingly mature. It's about this clash of ideologies as Sonic believes that everything comes to an end, but it's about living life to the fullest in the time we have, to run head first to our problems and solve them before we die. To have fun and enjoy life before it's over. And the villain is scared of death and wants a world that lasts forever, so that flowers may never wither and that the kingdom the game takes place in won't come to ruin. Sonic can be seen as the bad guy of the story in a certain lens as if he wins, the kingdom WILL die. He even says himself "i don't mind playing the bad guy every once in a while." LIKE THAT IS SOOOOOO FUCKING RAWWW!!!! I LOVE IT!!!!!

Sure the story rushed and short but... oh my god the story and fan service is truly amazing idc. It marked the end of an era, the end of the "dark age" of Sonic, before we got games like Colours, Generations, Lost World, Forces, Boom that took such a drastic turn in tone and got rid of the 4Kids cast of voice actors. This was the final time Sonic felt like it truly gave a shit about it's story and was made by people who cared and had something to say.... Well... until Frontiers of course.

Sonic's characterisation is some of the best it has ever been in both games. He's snarky, confident, energetic and cheeky, but he's also gentle, kind and loving. It's so well done.... literally the final line he says "Every world has it's end. I know that's kind of sad but... That's why we gotta live life in the fullest in the time we have. At least, that's what i figure." breaks me into tears every time i hear it... I'm not joking.

Black Knight also has moments where it plays certain themes from previous games when certain characters show up and that shit makes me grin ear to ear and laugh in autistic excitement i tell ya. Hearing It Doesn't Matter before Sonic takes on the final boss is so. DAMN. GOOD!!!!! AHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The only other time i can recall getting giddy and excited over a Sonic game is... Frontiers? The first titan boss made me scream. I was screaming and in pure happiness. And the final boss from update 3.... Made me cry dude... But that's a topic for another day. i can go on and on about this blue rat....

Yeah Black Knight is a good game... but.... the gameplay is uh... just okay? It's not bad but it's not great either. I think what really kills the gameplay is that there isn't enough platforming in the levels and a lot of the sword moves kill Sonic's speed which makes the sword combat feel so sluggish and ughhhhh.

Also a big issue between both games that they have a mission system and not standard acts and it kills replayablity for me. If the games got remastered today and had 3 acts and a boss in each area it would be 10x better I'm telling you.

Anyways, yeah, the storybook games are awesome... aside from gameplay. I recommend only playing Black Knight and configuring it on dolphin to tie motion swings to button presses. And putting the pointer controls on the r stick as well.

Don't play Secret Rings unless you are a diehard Sonic fan and are curious to see the game.

Frasier episode roundup! :DDD

Mel's a reaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaal stinker, huh. Niles picks all the bad ones, and Frasier picks (and leaps from) all the good ones.

LOVE Ferguson; and will always love Ferguson. One of my favorite S8 episodes.

Donny got engaged and married? So soon...? Uh oh. This smells like a rebound.

Roz and Frasier and Roz's ex Luke... within two seconds I wanted to get away from that dude; but I guess flattery will always catch (in this case desperate) people.

Mary's back! Sometimes I do and don't like her... but this episode was a x2 speed type of watch. (Just saw Stephen King as a call-in? Huh.)

I love Frasier's Harvard mentor. Love him, love him, love him. He needs to be in many more episodes. Wearing Roz's robe? The actor killed those scenes.

Frederick turning into a gamer shouldn't be as surprising as it was. I wonder if maybe Marty's genes skipped a generation. >:D

x2 speed on the car and Dalmatian episode; but it wasn't all that bad. (There really isn't an all-bad Frasier episode, though.)

The chaos trying to prevent the Shakespearean scifi actor from getting onstage was quite amusing. In similar scenarios, I'm usually annoyed or frustrated that things won't work out; but him quite literally crawling to the chair won me over.

The two parallel universes episode was intriguing-- two people meant to be, getting together regardless, awww-- and Bernadette Peters was a guest caller???? I gotta rewatch her segment.

Kenny! I liked him... then he got a wandering eye; and now I don't respect him. His wife was really nice, though. Liked her a whole lot.

Niles wins the basketball competition only to join Frasier in making a fool of himself. C'est la vie.

John Glenn going off on an alien rant while Roz and Frasier are bickering is just... so good.

x2 speed for the rich widow. I expected better of you, Martin. You should have known two women in the dark always ends in disaster, especially when Frasier flubbed it so badly last(?) season.

Martin shaming his sons in front of their wine club. I'm not sorry for them. >:)))

Daphne's back! And what a touching look into her and Niles's psyche. Him blurting out his problems with her, her taking it wrong, then both "having at" each other was freeing even for me.

Also, whichever episode had Niles struggling with Daphne's sleeping habits was gold.

Niles deciding to let Daphne keep her psychic opinion of herself was also sweet, awwwww.

FRASIER, WHY'D YA RUIN A GOOD THING WITH CLAIRE. (Also... she can do better. Also: it didn't seem like you two really meshed.) FRASIER, WHY ARE YOU SABOTAGING YOURSELF WITH LANA.

Lana's son was a fun character, though.

The finale was x2; but the rest of the arc was juicy, SO I finished it. XDD Fascinating little dig into Frasier's psychology. Intrigued to see what he does-- more likely doesn't-- with these revelations.

Overall: leagues better than the season where everyone at the station lost their jobs; but not the besssssst, either.

I had a good time, regardless. :DDDD

Glad you had a good time! This really shows me that I don't watch season 8 often cause most of these didn't even ring a bell ��� it's definitely not my favorite season.

How do you watch an episode on double speed? I'm not sure I could follow the episode 😂

In my opinion, season 9 has better episodes.

marvel's midnight suns | misc quotes 2

You may have noticed that I mess around a lot…

What would you do in my position then, huh?

Since that’s ruined, I guess we can cut straight to the chase…

I’ve been retconned before, let’s do it again!

At least buy me dinner before you peg me like that…

It’s the best way to trick other people into thinking you have your crap together…

Says the poster child of heroism…

Hey, answer this for me. What does commitment mean to you…

But-and it’s a but-it’s scawy…

Sssh, it’s question time. Would you ever cut ties with me?

Your awakening ritual was admittedly… Simply put, how do you feel?

Will all my resources, all my gifts, I should’ve seen this outcome spelled out… but I… miscalculated.

Plus, it’s very comfortable. Assuming you choose a good fabric, of course.

Any side effects I should know about?

We can’t in good conscience send you back into battle…

You’re too kind. Besides, I think our mutual friend has done quite well in guiding you so far.

Shh. Just stand here with me a moment. I want to see if you can sense what I’m sensing.

My mind races with nervous excitement at the thought of stepping back into the great cosmic library…

Demons are, by definition, evil…

I wish I could have joined you at the lab…

But that’s a worry for another day…

If you think this source has got salon-sculpted facial hair and an ego the size of Montana, then you’re correct.

I fear he may be plotting against us as we speak…

I really need to double check my findings. There are a few more scrolls I should consult…

Part of me feels we should throw it into the Forge right now and wash our hands of it completely.

I’ve been giving a lot of thought to the direction my life will take if we survive your mother’s apocalypse…

Your continued confidence and honesty with me have rekindled…

Go on. To what genre am I most partial?

But I cannot shake the sense that life as I know it has changed for the worse.

Since the beginning of this crisis, my predictions have all been skewed…

“I’m wingin’ it. ”

Everyone’s on edge about it and that puts me on edge, ya know?

But I bet no one would notice if I like took off and joined Hydra or just, I dunno, disappeared.

How the hell am I supposed to live up to that?

I mean, look at you. You’re not intimidated by anyone…

That was an act of mad genius.

It’s gotta be done…

But it also really sucks.

All I can say is what I saw last night made me worry about you.

How do I honor him and still be truthful? It’s too many hands.

You think I need something a little more foolproof?

What does that mean? Some women are what?…

It’s gonna go like this: save the world, go home, give [someone] a big hug, throw a barbecue for the neighborhood.

I don’t know, you think, maybe he’d be able to do me a favor, after we save the world, I mean?

I see your “why” and raise you a “why not?”

Gorgeous, right? Even without the extra hell sauce, she’s a beast.

He, well, both of us just wanted to say thanks. Nice to feel useful, know what I mean?

I don’t know. I don’t want to mess up and disappoint anyone or worse, get someone hurt. I made that mistake once before and I have absolutely zero desire to do it again.

Will you be my Player 2?

What did I do to deserve all your confidence in me?

Don’t get me wrong. We’re a solid duo…

Like a car chase, but with horses. Did you ever drift a horse? maybe on a frozen lake or something?

I was going to say “a roller-blading mariachi band” but I don’t think mine compares.

No, in a car. You race through empty streets, pushing your ride as hard as it can take it…

We could start a weekly tradition. I make a mean carne asada.

With my parents gone, I had to grow up fast…

I know I can’t go home until this is over, but knowing doesn’t make it easier.

Well, does it even matter? I made a choice and the world paid for it…

Haven’t you figured it out? She doesn’t want to “win”.

It’s good. It’s really good, actually. If I can keep myself busy enough, I think I can keep the darkness at bay.

PART 2 RAMBLINGS...

I couldn't help myself. Now Stan's gotta explain why he dipped-

Fiddleford asks Stan why he ran off and of course he lies because that's his go-to: someone stole his car, and he had to get it back. He makes up this whole story about calling up his buds to win it back from some punks who had it out for him. It begins as an excuse, but as Fidds hangs on to every word, ("You and yer friends took on all those guys? Gosh. And all ya fight with're brass knuckles?") it evolves into a tale spun to impress. Fiddleford believes it all, being the naive and kind-hearted guy he is, though Stan tells him not to repeat this to Ford because he'll freak out. The visit ends with Stan assuring Fiddleford that he's staying put this time.

To no one's surprise, Ford doesn't take to Stan's reappearance well. He's understandably a little frustrated that his brother came back after years just to run off on a whim with some lame excuse. ("Helped a friend move? Like I'm supposed to believe that, he was obviously getting up to something shady. I swear, my brother is a blockhead, Fidds!" *Fiddleford sweats*) Ford is secretly glad Stan is safe, but really doesn't think that talking to him is going to do any good- as far as he's concerned, he and his twin live completely opposite lifestyles. Ironically, this conclusion is mostly met because of Fiddleford himself, who has relayed some of Stan's conversations to Ford in an effort to urge him to know his brother better again. To Fidds, something like Stan going to jail for a "accidental tax minunderstanding" was minor, but Ford saw everything Stan did as a purposeful act of rebellion and delinquency. To admit otherwise was to face the truth that he had abandoned his eccentric, impulsive, but good-natured brother. He can tell himself all he wants that he's too busy with college to keep up with Stan anyway, that this was going to happen regardless of a fight, but he knows its not true. Ford also knows deep down that if his twin hangs around much longer, he will soon crack and go see him. And what a messy reunion that would be, so Ford buries himself in his thesis instead of thinking about his feelings, because he's good at that.

Fiddleford and Stan go back to meeting at the Stanmobile every few days, usually just to chat for an hour or so. Fidds has began to bring dorm food to him when they meet, as Stan has refused groceries when he offered. The poor guy is a bit too hungry to refuse the meals, and Fiddleford can tell.

Maybe weeks later, after a midterm exam, Ford finally feels a little less crushed by college work- and Fidd's frequent mentions of his hangouts with Stan truly erode him to the point where he decides to get it over with. Maybe then, his roommate and best friend will stop spending so much time with him. He's afraid what his own reaction will be when he sees his twin, so he asks Fiddleford to accompany him when he sees him. Ecstatic, Fidds relays this information to Stan when he swings by that weekend. When Stan looks boyishly excited and grateful (hugging Fiddleford -- oh dear, his arms are big-) Fidds pats himself on the back for a job well done, because now these boys can heal and they can all be friends.

Ah, but things are never that easy.

Ford follows Fiddleford outside the next day, his heart skipping when he sees his brother's red car. The second his eyes land on Stan- dirty, scruffy, mullet, earrings, a huge grin - how dare he smile at him like that? How dare his brother look so happy to see him, as if he hadn't done anything to make him mad in the first place? Like he hadn't ruined Ford's life? This is his warped perspective as he is met with Stan's cheerful greeting. When his twin's warm smile extends to Fiddleford, and his roommate fondly returns it- that's the last straw. With strength he didn't know he had, Ford swings his fist into the side of Stanley's jaw. Fiddleford is too shocked to move as Stan's back slams against his car. Stan, upset and acting before thinking, grabs Fords collar and the two begin to fight. Poor Fidds doesn't know what to do, his weak "please"s and "stop"s arent even heard by the twins. After about two minutes of this, Stan successfully pushes Ford down into the grass by the sidewalk, standing over him.

"I was going to apologize," Stanley bites out. But Ford is too worked up to care, in his mind, an apology was expected ages ago and it was far too late now.

"Don't bother," Ford growls from the ground.

Stan doesn't listen to Fiddleford saying "wait, Stanley don't leave, let's talk this out-" as he gets into his car and speeds away.

Fiddleford pulls his hair as he glares down at Ford. "What happn'd to yer bein' a genius, huh?" Fidds says with a rare instance of contempt in his tone.

(Yeah idk I have no excuses for myself and this will most likely be continued)

EDIT: part 3

UM what if... Fidds met Stan during the college years when he comes to apologize to Ford. Like-

Like hear me out-

At some point while Ford is at Backupsmore and Stan had been running around the country for a couple years, (lets say 4ish yrs after Stan is kicked out?) Stan attempts to apologize to him by visiting his dorms. Ford ignores him/ calls security on him until Stan is just loitering out by the entrance with his car.

Seeing all this, Ford's kindhearted roommate Fiddleford tries to coax his friend into giving his brother a chance, to which Ford stubbornly refuses. Exasperated and pitying Stan, after a few days of this, Fiddleford approaches his roommate's twin himself.

Stan is of course not a pretty picture since he's been living out of his car, and when he sees Fiddleford he assumes it's to shoo him away. When Fiddleford instead introduces himself and apologizes for Ford, a confused Stan begins to ask questions that he would be asking his brother: how he's been, what he's studying, is he any better with girls?

After a while of this, Fiddleford begins to feel guilty about having a conversation that really should be with Ford himself, not him. He tells Stan this, and promises to find a way to convince Ford to speak to him again at least once. Stan agrees to stay in town until that happens.

Ford isnt happy when Fiddle tells him he talked to Stan. Hes a petty sore loser so hes still adamant about not seeing his brother, and grows more upset as Fiddleford sees Stan every couple days to chat/update. Without cellphones, Stan just comes by whenever and hangs out until Fiddle spots him.

Fiddleford thinks Stanley wanting to reunite with Ford endearing. He also finds Stan's, let's be honest, meat-headed suave, to be a refreshing change of pace from his roommate's constant obsession over formulas and theories.

Besides having a friend of Ford's on his side, Stan is just thrilled to have someone who listens to him and doesn't mind his company. Fiddleford even trims Stan's hair for him one time, and other little things that he sees as simple decent favors for a nice guy down on his luck, but Stan sees as the most generous things a guy's ever done for him. He's starting to feel indebted to Fiddleford, and he's not sure what to do about it other than give up on Ford and drive off so that he isn't bothering them anymore.

When Fiddleford buys some extra groceries a few days later and gives them to Stan, the poor guy has a near-panic about being a burden later that night. On a whim, because he's freaking out and that's how Stan operates, he flees the town.

A month passes before Stan feels stupid and returns to the college. He still wants to see Ford- he'll just turn down all of Fidd's kind gestures this time. Stan pulls up outside the dorms and parks, falling asleep in the driver's seat until a banging at his window startles him awake.

Fiddleford, pounding on his car window, looking mad. Uh oh. Stanley gets out of the car, expecting a well-deserved punch to the face for accepting those groceries and bailing without warning. Instead, Fidds shakes his shoulders while rambling with exasperation.

"I was THIS close to gettin' him to talk to ya, ya know that? What were you thinkin', runnin' off without a daggum word to me, makin' me think somethin' bad happ'nd- what was I s'posta tell yer brother, huh?" Etc etc while Stanley just stares blankly and let's himself get shaken for 3 minutes straight while Fiddle scolds him.

The whole time, Stan is wondering why the hell this guy is worrying over him. He's distracted when fidds tells him that Ford too was worried. Is this progress with his twin? Or did he ruin it all with his fleeing stunt?

-

UHHH God I typed so much. Much more than i thought. Idk maybe I'll have more brainrot to continue this later??

[moemoemammon]

yay! requests are open! y'know that thing where the s/o being so weak for their partner? I wanted to request the demon bros being weak for their s/o? does that make sense?

like, for example, MC would pout a little, and say 'pwease 🥺' and the demon bros would be like, 'yes, go on, what do you want from me? would you like my-' they'd just be so weak for mc.

I hope that makes sense! also, if it's too much characters, you can just do mammon and satan :) thank you ;3

Their One Weakness: MC!

(Feat. GN!MC and the Demon Bros)

✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ ✦

Lucifer

Lucifer is known as the cruel eldest of the brothers. A sadist whose word is law, whose will can only be bent by Lord Diavolo himself. And yet since you came to the Devildom, all you ever seemed to do was the opposite of what he asked. Yet he still came to love you. He wonders if he spoils you too much...

Especially when you always seem to get your way one way or another. When you proposed the chaotic idea of a massive get together between the House of Lamentation and Purgatory Hall, Lucifer immediately said no. It’d be way too noisy and he had things to do.

But THEN... You fixed him with those damn EYES of yours.... The big eyes filled with sparkles and hopes that pleaded to him.... stop staring at him with them big ol eyes-

Lucifer REFUSES to acknowledge how cute you are when you look at him like that. Well, verbally anyway. You look like a kicked puppy...and he loves puppies...

"............I suppose if we prepare right now and get a dinner menu ready, it could be possible. And if you pout any harder you might pull a muscle, and I doubt I could explain that to Lord Diavolo. Now, go tell the others what you have planned."

Mammon

Mammon is practically the biggest MC simp in the world. You always occupy his thoughts any time of the day. 'Oh, MC would probably like one of these'. 'MC's always eatin' this for lunch. I'll grab one.' 'This would be way less borin' if MC were around...'

But as the Tsundere 🤢 king of the Devildom, there's no way he'll admit to any of that! So what if he's head over heels for you?! That doesn't mean he's gonna be all weak in the knees the moment you-

Wait, you're saying that because he lost a bet yesterday and promised he'd take you out to Ristorante Six and pay for the whole thing, now he's gotta pay up?!?! No way! He doesn't remember what you're talking about, and that voice recording you've got on your phone is clearly fake!

Mammon's dead set on weaseling out of his promise, until you freeze him in place with your pouty face... then you hit him with a "please..?" and the Avatar of Greed swears he might die right then and there.

"Tch..! Damn it, I ain't got a choice when ya look at me like that!!! What're ya playin' at, pulling' my heartstrings like that?! Hurry up and get dressed so we can go! A-and ya better eat your fill, too!"

Levi

The founder of the top secret MC Cult Fanclub, there's not much that could keep Levi from becoming putty in your hands. He's used to idolizing the objects of his affection, and you're no exception!

So when it comes to bending to your will, he's definitely the easiest. Except when it comes to n-...normie stuff...

Seriously, do you think someone like HIM should be going to The Fall?!?! No way! Not in a million, billion, trillion years!!!! You shouldn't get him to go to that crowded club even if you dragged him there!!!

Then... you hit him with the cute act... You declare your loyalty to him as his beloved Henry, fixing him with a pleading look that shoots him straight through the heart, and... GAH, HE'S GOT NO CHOICE!!!!!

"At... at least help me choose something to wear..! I don't know how I'm supposed to dress for normie stuff like this!!! Aaah... I wanna stay home, b-but when you say something like that, I just can't win-!"

Satan

Satan openly admits to how he likes to spoil you. It's cute seeing how big your grin becomes when he gives you something you wanted, and how happy you are when he takes you out for the evening.

But there are some things even he doesn't want to do, like when you suggest going to a chess tournament with Lucifer. You've been pressured by Lucifer wanting to attend, but figured it'd be easier to sit through with someone else. So why not Satan, who'd mentioned liking chess?

Yeah... he'd go if Lucifer weren't involved. As much as he'd love to go and pull some strings to ruin the match for the dear eldest, he's got something else planned involving a well timed glue bomb and Lucifer's study. So he'll pass.

Or so he thought, until you started poking your fingers together and mentioned how you'd hoped you could both enjoy it together. Kind of like a date..? Gah, his heart and its weakness for unconventional dates-!!!!

"...I... suppose I could go. It’d be nice to study how Lucifer plays, so I can finally beat him. Don't you think the look on his face will be priceless? And if you're there as well, I'll be able to stomach watching his face for an hour."

Asmo

Asmo LOVES you more than aaanyone!! There's no one who loves you more, you know? Why, he wants to involve you in every aspect of his life, and actively tries to do just that! He's even tried dragging you into the tub with him a few times...

And when it comes to spoiling you, he loves it! He's always the one being spoiled, so it makes him giddy when he can give a little back. If there's anything you want from him, just tell him and he'll make it happen!

Eh? You want to play fangol? With HIM?? Um... pass. You know he just got his nails done, right? Asmo's not really a fan of running around with a ball and getting knocked to the ground, so... no thanks! ❤️

Wait, don't make that face! What're you looking so glum for?? He'll kiss your sadness away, and- Eh?! You don't want a kiss?? You really wanna play THAT badly?????

"....You really don't have me mistaken for Beel, right..? You really want to play with ME? ...Haaaah, fine! I'll play one game with you, and in exchange, you have to spend all of tomorrow with moi! Sounds good, right~? Now let me see if Satan will let me borrow some of his clothes...urgh..."

Beel

As a 'go with the flow' guy, there's not much Beel won't do with you, even if it's not really something he's interested in. As long as he has you around and a surplus of snacks, he's fine with anything.

Until you suggest going to Majolish to try on some stylish outfits. You mention how Beel wears variations of the same thing all the time, so it's time for an update! He thinks you're spending too much time with Asmo...

Beel isn't really into tight, itchy, stiff fabrics like the 'stylish' things they sell at Majolish, and decides he'd much rather go to Hell's Kitchen instead. He's hungry. Are you hungry?

'Stop changing the subject'? Ah.. damn it 😔 Wait, now you're saying you just wanted to buy fancy outfits because you were planning to take him to Ristorante Six?! You can't tell if he's blushing over your consideration or the idea of food, but now Beel's looking through the clothes with earnest.

"I didn't know you were the winner of that 'all you can eat' coupon lottery. When I didn't win I was pretty upset, but I'm glad to know it was you. Even if these clothes are weird, I'll wear them. Can you pick something good for me?"

Belphie

Belphie likes to spoil you in more subtle ways, instead of simping as hard as his brothers. He's still as much of a sucker for you as they are though, much to his dismay. All you have to do is smile and you've got him wrapped around your gross human finger.

But when you mention wanting to go biking with Lord Diavolo and wanting him to come along, Belphie suddenly discovers that his ears don't work anymore. Anyway, goodnight-

Hey, stop poking him like that. Can't you see an deaf man is trying to sleep here?? And what's with that face..? You're pouting so hard you look like you're going to explode. It's cute, but Belphie can close his eyes an not see it.

But then you scoot into bed with him and hold him from behind, and the sleepy demon starts feeling his resolve crumble. You have some dirty tactics, huh..? Getting all cozy with him just because he's got a soft spot for you...

"...............Why Diavolo of all people..? I'd prefer anyone over him. Ugh... Hey, they still rent out those two person bikes, don't they? I'll only go if I can ride on that with you. I'll sit right behind you and cheer you on, okay? ..What's with that look? I'm joking...maybe."

Eren Yeager x Female Reader. College!AU

.

you choked on each breath as you ran through the forest, lungs burning, the dark mist of the night lingered around you with the help of stars guiding you through the murky trees 

thoughts of losing your journal raced through your mind.

you're afraid that you'll forget everything about Eren

you stop in your tracks when your dirty converse is made with the creek~ of the deck 

overlooking the dark waters and the moonlight directly shining on you, a high pitched voice came from behind you

"Took ya long enough" You turn to see Christa, taunting you with the sway of your journal in her grip

"Christa, please...just give me the journal"

"What fun would that be? oh come on, it's just a fairy tale" she teased whilst flipping through the pages

"what do you want?" 

"stay the hell away from Porco, you fucking slut" she hissed

 "I'll stay away from Porco...just please" your desperate at this point, your lungs trying to catch up with you 

"Huh, that was too easy, no fun" she pouted, 

"Can I have to book please?" you started to walk towards her, a slight smirk found her lips to see you so desperate 

"Hmmm...no, I don't think so" she tossed the book into the lake, you watch in horror as the book was smothered with the musky waters

"C-Christa...w-why" you asked in complete shock, eyes still on the waters with your knees buried into the dirt

she grabbed you by your hair making you look into her piercing blue eyes

"dunno just wanted to hurt you" your heartache at the loss, hearing that it was so simple for her to ruin your life with one swing didn't help

"b-but  I said I'd stay away-"

"ugh, would you quit your whining? I'm starting to get a migraine because of your yapping" she groaned as she pushed back her hair. amused at the show you just put on for her, she got what she wanted.

"Welp see you in class, sleeping beauty" she mocked, you know the princess names aren't going anywhere, you almost expected her to start calling you names because of your "fairytale"

your muddy shoes dragged dirt in the house as you walked to your room

taking a silent shower, the pressure of the hot water spitting at you was louder than your thoughts as you just sat there. alone.

putting on your tank top and your pajama pants you laid down, staring at your ceiling soon to fall asleep

"told you so" 

Armin teased as he gloated in the win of being right when I told him how I enjoyed the date with Mina 

"Yeah, yeah, whatever" I scoffed, a slight smile forming on my face

"so, whatcha gonna do about dream-girl?" he asked,

fuck, I totally forgot about Y/n...

"I- I think you're right...I think I have to get rid of her if she's infecting my real life" my heart ached to say this, it's not what I wanted but it's for the best, right?

"I think it's the best option, don't worry about hurting her, she's just a figment of your imagination, Eren" I know Armins right, but I had to hold myself from yelling at him that Y/n is much more than just a doddle in my head, but I also know I'd sound fucking crazy...

"Yeah..." I trailed off, thinking about how I'll tell her...

"Anyway, I gotta get to bed...cya later Eren" 

"Cya Armin" I ended the call as I sat in my empty room

there I sat in the darkness, sinking into my mattress, feeling like I'm about to break up with my girlfriend...

my phone dinged and I picked it up, thinking it was Armin or Mikasa sending me a goodnight text

but It was Grisha sending me another location for another date with Mina...

I know it's for the best, but I can't imagine life going to bed without seeing Y/n in my dreams

I turned off my phone as I rolled over to the side. trying to block out the thoughts of Y/n, I started thinking about another woman...

Mina.

 what will we do? does she really like me? 

I prayed she didn't actually like me, Mina is a nice girl but I don't like her romantically

and I definitely don't want to hurt her, but in this situation, it's almost inevitable for me to hurt her...

slowly falling asleep I saw Y/n

she was wearing black jeans and a black graphic tee, her hair dolled up in a low bun

she looked adorable

we were sitting in a field, the grass a midnight green shade under the gray sky that look like it'll storm any second

the oak eve trees a little far from us went on what looked like forever as the wind screamed in my ear with every wooosh~

it was so peaceful

"Hey" I broke the silence, she looked up to me and ran over, hugging me tighter than ever

"Hey, You okay?" My fingers trailed up and down her back, circling her spine as I tried to comfort her from whatever was going on

"I- I just really needed to see you" she said in a shaky breath

fuck, this is going to hurt

after a while we sat in the field, picking at the dark grass

"Y/n..." "Yes, Eren?" she looked up at me 

"I really like this, I look forward to seeing you every night" I smiled as I looked ahead at the trees

"Me too" she grinned

"I really like you Y/n"

"No need to get sentimental, Eren" she joked as a light blush appeared on her cheeks 

"I'm so sorry Y/n..." I whispered but she still heard, she looked up at me with confusion written all over her face

"I- I...uhm...I think I have to stop seeing you" I said in almost a whisper, not wanting to believe it myself

"What?" "I have to let you go" I looked at the grass, not wanting to see her face knowing It'll only hurt more

"wait what? Eren what are you talking about" she silently laughed in disbelief, confused at what I'm asking her

"You are feeding into me and I'm not sure I can keep doing this, I'm sorry" I choked out, feeling the tears pool in my eyes

"please Eren, I need you" she cried out, the grass under her dampened with the droplets of her tears

I need you too 

"I'm sorry Y/n, I need you to stop seeing me"

"Please you're all I have, you can't do this, please Eren," she said, choking on tears

I love you 

"you've ruined me, I can't even live anymore. dammit, I hate you"

I love you so fucking much, please forgive me

she stumbled on her words, but I started waking up

the next thing I know I'm back in my room

What did I just do?

*

【Ｙ／Ｎ'Ｓ　ＰＯＶ】

Saturday, 8:30 pm

you stayed in your bed all day, rotting away, the only thing on your mind were the three words that broke you 

"I hate you"

you checked the time again, you need to see him again, you needed to find out why all of a sudden he hates you.

you tried to reassure yourself, to no avail

soon enough, you fell asleep...

and he wasn't there

your dream-boy was gone...

[belphies-cuhm-sluht]

So I have a silly request, can I request the demon Bros who has an MC who just randomly puts up a good noodle board. Like there is no purpose to any of the stars on board and it's just a social experiment between MC and Solomon to see how the demons will react. I keep thinking of how funny it would be if MC went about a week just adding stars at random for no reason and one day taking two away from Lucifer with no explanation. Which makes them realize that they can now lose Stars. The bros get told that it's a social experiment after about a month of dealing with the good noodle board.

The Good Noodle Board (Demon Brother Headcanons)

“Hey, remember that one episode of spongebob? You know… the one?” Solomon asked over study break, and honestly… this man… this fucking man. If he wasn’t asking about Lucifer and how to get close to the demon he was asking shit like this. It didn’t make any sense, and it was so vague, it drove you nuts… but you were bored, so you decided to humor him.

“Ahhh, yes… I remember that one episode, out of 248… I remember the exact one that you’re talking about with no context or description. I know that one.” Was the sass necessary? Nope, absolutely not, but you couldn’t really be that way with the demon brothers because they knew how to sass you back twice as much, and you couldn’t possibly be that way with the angels because they wouldn’t understand it and their feelings were fragile. Solomon on the other hand was a little shit and his sass wasn’t even good so you could take it if he tried.

“Ha… funny. I mean the one with the noodle board, the Good Noodle Board.” Now it was ringing a bell, but it still made no sense why he was bringing it up, so you nodded to encourage him to keep going. There had to be some reason he was bringing this up. “Social experiment… see how the brothers would react to a Noodle Board. You gotta try it, a month tops, and tell me how it goes.” It wasn’t a bad idea, and it might be fun for everyone… or it could go horribly wrong… You’ll never know if you don’t try though.

You hung the Good Noodle Board right in the living room in the middle of the night, no explanation. They’ll just wake up to the noodle board, and that’s where the fun begins!

Lucifer

He is highly suspicious of the board. But right now he sees that everyone has the same amount of stars, so he doesn’t get it, but everything seems even, so it isn’t really a problem. Not yet at least. Things really started to get confusing when he came out of his office later in the day and saw two new stars next to his name. It was a good feeling because that meant he was ahead of everyone else… but why? How did he get those stars? What did he do? He said good morning to you this morning, and he remembered to eat something with his coffee, were those the reasons for the stars? This was more confusing than Lord Diavolos' out of order paperwork. “Oh! Y/N I caught you… the uh, Good Noodle Board… what is it? How does it work?” There was no fun in explaining it already, it wasn’t even day two at this point and he had racked up a bunch of stars. You didn’t know why he was worrying about it now, the real fun part hasn’t even come yet. You shrugged, smiling sheepishly at him before walking towards the stairs, waiting for him to go back into his office before running back out and sticking one more star next to his name. After two weeks came the fun part, taking away the stars. He yelled at Mammon for no apparent reason and made him sad… he got two stars taken away. He fell asleep at his desk overworking himself? One star is taken away, and after the experiment is over you’ll talk to him about that because it isn’t good. Every morning you wake up and see him fretting over this board, counting and recounting the stars just to make sure he’s not just seeing things and that his stars are going missing. “Y/N… The uhm… My stars seem to be going missing. Is there a reason for that? Do you think Mammon is stealing the stars? Hmm… Never mind. I’m not even worried about it. I have a meeting with Diavolo today. Goodbye.” Another star was taken away for accusing Mammon of things he didn’t do. To see Lucifer get so worked up over the board, you were sure Solomon would want to be there to experience it too. By the end of the month, Lucifer is frazzled and confused and thinking way too hard about all of it. You were kind of sad to end it, but seeing his face when you explained it to him made ending it all worth it.

“I-... Study break is for studying. Use it wisely, and stop letting Solomon put ideas in your head. If I may ask though… Why did I lose the stars?”

Mammon

The Good Noodle Board is awesome. He’s got so many stars right now, and he already knows you did it. You think he doesn’t get suspicious of why you’re not in your room and sneaks down to see what you’re doing? Not in a weird way, he’s just making sure you’re okay. But yeah, he totally watched you put up the board and everything. He tried to stay on his best behavior because, well… things like this usually meant there was incentive, and that could mean money at the end. You were onto that too though, and you were trying to keep things fair, which was already out the window when you found out that he already knew what the board was. “Ya know… I’ve been real good lately and… I don’t think the stars are showin’ how good I’ve been. Don’tcha think I should have more?” He pouted at you, and you could only laugh as you shook your head at him before walking away. He was going to ruin the experiment if he kept questioning you, so maybe you should just add a couple more to get him to shush, or at least to keep him from telling his brothers about it. It took a couple hours for him to get busy enough to not worry about the noodle board for a few minutes, just long enough for you to run back down to the living room and stick a couple more stickers next to his name. It was hard for him to stay good the whole time though. The experiment lasted a month, and it was amazing that he was able to be on his best behavior for even one whole week. By the second week he was back to his typical self. One by one you pulled stars off, and each time he’d come to you whining about how it wasn’t fair. “Ya all just wanna see me upset! That’s why yer takin’ my stars away! I don’t need the stupid Good Noodle Board anyway… I know I’m a good noodle!” He stormed out of the room, making sure to stomp loudly just to show how upset he is. So the social experiment went well, and when you finally told him what it was… He was torn between thinking it was funny or being upset because it was done at his expense, plus it meant that you hung out with Solomon which he didn’t like at all.

“Next time ya wanna do somethin’ like that come ta me instead! I don’t want ya hangin’ with Solomon anymore.”

Leviathan

The Good Noodle Board didn’t seem like it would be a problem, he stays in his room all the time anyway, it shouldn’t be a big deal. He’s banking on his stars staying consistent, there’s no way he could earn stars because he doesn’t leave his room, and he doesn’t like being in competition with his brothers, so it’s better if he just stays up in his room anyway. The board can’t affect him if he doesn’t think about it. The thing is, he was getting stars randomly… It didn’t make sense to him. He’d find a new star stuck next to his name when he came down for breakfast and dinner, and on the days that he didn’t skip RAD classes he’d have five more. The system was strange, it was like whoever was running the board, although he did assume it was you, they spotted his good behavior even when he wasn’t trying to be good. “Hey Y/N…” He stopped you after dinner, leading you into the living room to point at the board. “What’s uh… What’s up with this… Do you know anything about it?” It would have been easy to tell him, but there’s no fun in that. You shook your head, walking away and leaving Levi to stare at the board, questioning his newly placed stars. Taking the stars away was even more entertaining than putting them on. If he stayed up all night and raged and kept the rest of the house awake, he’d wake up to stars gone. If he skipped his RAD classes, his stars would be gone when he came back home. There wasn’t really anything else to take his stars away for, but once he noticed the stars were gone he started to panic. “Wh-Why are my stars disappearing? What’s going on? What did I do? H-How does Mammon have more stars than I do?!” That didn’t seem right to him, not at all. Mammon couldn’t possibly be doing better than him. He was going to sulk about it until his star count was at least above Mammon’s. Waking up at the end of the month and seeing you take the board down was probably the happiest he’s felt all month. He wouldn’t have to worry about it anymore, but also, now he knows 100% that it was you, and he’s got a lot of questions.

“S-So it was you… Why was Mammon doing better than me? How did you come up with it? Why is it called being a Good Noodle? Why did I lose stars? Please don’t do it ever again…”

Satan

He had walked right past it the day that it got put up, he didn’t even notice it at first. Lucifer was known to hang weird decorations in the living room, and most of the things that hung on the wall didn’t interest him, so clearly this new wall piece wouldn’t be a big deal to him either. His curiosity got the best of him though when he saw you looking at it. Now he was invested in the star board, checking it every single time he walked through the living room just to make sure he was ahead of Lucifer. That was the only thing that mattered to him now. Being ahead of Lucifer on the Noodle Board meant that he was essentially better than Lucifer, and that would mean he was winning. “You see that, Y/N… Lucifer is below me… It feels good. Whoever is running this board knows who the best brother is.” He was going to lose stars for that as soon as you started taking them away, but for now he was still receiving stars for helping you study and reading to you at night. Once the stars were taken away though, he had a lot of reasons for getting them taken. He didn’t straighten up his books and you constantly tripped over them whenever you visited him in his room. He was sassy as hell most of the time, and his constant berating of Lucifer was kind of irritating, especially since it was pretty well known that he hated the guy, he just felt the need to constantly say something about it. Stars were disappearing left and right from beside his name, and he couldn’t understand why, it was stressing him out way more than it should. “Lucifer is doing this! It’s because I was above him and he couldn’t handle it! Look how many stars I’ve lost! He’s jealous. He’s so jealous. That’s fine. I know I’m better than him.” This whole thing cracked you up. It was hysterical how mad he got. Finally explaining to him that you were the one who ran the board and that it was yours and Solomon's idea, he didn’t know if it was a relief or if it irritated him more.

“So this was… your idea… and Solomon’s…? Did you write a book report on our reactions? Did you have fun? Sure seems like you did. Glad you enjoyed it. Never again.”

Asmodeus

So when he first saw the Good Noodle Board, he initially thought that it meant… well… he thought that Noodle meant… dick, so it was really shocking that all of the brothers, including himself, had the same amount of stars, especially since he knew damn well that his noodle was the best. It wasn’t until he started getting stars after not doing anything sexual that he realized that the board wasn’t pertaining to having a good noodle, but being a good noodle, and that he as a whole is the noodle. It still wasn’t going to be hard for him though, he’s a good demon, he’s a sweetheart, he knows it. He didn’t have to do much to get stars either, he was just a happy guy who loved himself and everyone else. How could he not be raking in the stars with a personality like that? “Look at all those stars, Y/N! It’s not easy being a star, but whoever is running this board really understands that I’m the brightest star there is. They’re very smart.” He had no idea that stars could be taken away, apparently he assumed that stars were permanent once they went on the board. He couldn’t have been more wrong. He changed his outfit about 3 times a day, which meant that weekly laundry was way more than it should be and laundry detergent was going faster than food in the fridge when Beel was home. And some days… he’d wear certain lip glosses that stained every single glass that he drank out of, which wouldn’t really be a problem if you weren’t the one doing dishes and trying like hell to scrub those lip marks off. He didn’t lose a lot of stars for the last one, but every time you had to deal with it, he’d lose one star for the hours you scrubbed away at those glasses. “I think a couple of my stars fell off… which is weird because none of the other ones did. Do you think… do you think someone is taking my stars away? How could they do that? Hmph… And I thought they were smart. I guess not.” Finally telling him was like a weight off of his shoulders, he finally understood what the whole meaning of the board was and who was doing it. He became way more interested in it when he found out it was Solomon’s idea as well.

“So this whole thing was just an… experiment? And Solomon was in on it? I didn’t know you and Solomon hung out like that. Well, next time you do, tell me. I want to be in on your next idea.”

Beelzebub

He also, like Asmo, thought the Good Noodle Board meant something else, although his thought wasn’t anywhere near what Asmo thought. He just thought it meant how many good noodles the brothers had made, which is why he was unsure of why Belphie and… well… any of the other brothers had so many stars. Their noodle making skills were not very good. You didn’t want him to be in the dark, so without giving away too much information, you explained the meaning of the board. Earning stars was really easy for him, and you actually worried that he didn’t have enough space next to his name for all the stars that he got. He was just… a sweetheart, and he was always being good to everyone and he never got into trouble or did anything bad. You were running out of stars, but he was so happy to see how many stars he’d have at the end of the day, it was really sweet. “Look Y/N. Noodles are really good, and I guess I’m really good too. Cool, I’m like a really good noodle. Goodnight.” Taking away stars was almost as upsetting for you to do as it was for him to see. You knew he didn’t mean to be a bad noodle, but… He was eating the lunches that you packed for yourself and you were constantly running late to your classes because you’d have to repack your lunch and… Well he had to lose a star for that. He also kept leaving his gym bag in the middle of the main hallway when he came home and you’ve tripped over it several times. When he saw that his stars were able to be taken away he looked really upset, which kind of upset you. “Am I not a really good noodle? I wonder what I did… Y/N, do you know what I did? No… I’ll figure it out. I have to be a good noodle.” You were really relieved when it was finally over, for his sake. It was fun with all the others, but he was thinking too hard about it and you didn’t want him to have to worry about it anymore.

“Oh, so I’m still a good noodle? I did have more stars than anyone else… Do I ever get to know why I got the stars taken away though, because I still don’t want to be a bad noodle… Even if the board is gone.”

Belphegor

He didn’t come out of his room often enough to even notice the board was up. Beel actually had to tell him about it, and that was the only time he came downstairs wrapped in a blanket to look at the board. All he did was shrug though, he legitimately did not care about it at first. It was hard to give him stars because… he was never around? Can you give people stars for sleeping? You’d have to use the same system that you used for Levi. He came out of his room to eat meals with the rest of the house… he’d get a star. He actually showed up at his classes instead of “accidentally” sleeping through them? He’d get a couple more stars. When he’d come home he’d see the extra stars next to his name and shake his head, but you could tell he was confused as to why he was getting them. “I get stars for participating in things I don’t want to do? I don’t know if I actually want the stars… but somehow Mammon has a lot which is stupid, so I guess I’ll just keep doing whatever so I can be ahead of him… And Lucifer. Stupid Lucifer.” Taking away stars was a lot easier than you thought it would be. Sometimes when you’d try to wake him up in the morning to get to class he’d throw pillows at you until you went away, and he’d lose stars for that. Other times he’d willingly go to sleep in the middle of classes, or meal times even though you knew for a fact that he had a full night's sleep, he was just trying to be rude. He got stars taken away for those things… and many others. When he saw that most of the stars next to his name had been taken he was kind of pissed off. “So according to the Noodle Board… I’m worse than Mammon, and Lucifer. I call bullshit, this whole board is bullshit and I’m taking a nap.” He was very sassy and he generally avoided the board. He couldn’t have been happier when he saw that it was finally gone at the end of the month, and when you told him that it was yours and Solomon’s idea, he just laughed, so you didn’t really know what that meant.

“I knew it was you the whole time. Only you and Solomon could come up with an idea that would throw all of us off like that. I’d have enjoyed it if I wasn’t involved and I got to watch Lucifer suffer. But now I can finally sleep whenever and wherever I want, so, I’m glad it’s gone. Night.”

LITG - Episode 27 Pt 1 

😭😭😭😭😭😭 why am I doing this to myself again LOL

💔💔💔💔💔💔

Here we go...Spoilers below had to split in two posts.

NARRATOR: Last time, bombshell Gabi made an explosive entrance when MC realized she was the waitress that Suresh cheated with.

NARRATOR: If Suresh was here right now, his tip for this waitress would probably involve asking her to quietly leave!

NARRATOR: But Gabi seems more into noisy entrances, and it looks like she’s about to  cause a bang or two!

The Islanders are sitting around the firepit, stunned by Gabi’s sexy arrival. She stands at the firepit, all eyes are on her.

GABI: Hey, guys!

MC: It was you!

The Islanders all turn their attention to you with confused expressions on their faces.

DANA: What was her?

MC: She’s the girl that Suresh cheated on me with. The waitress!

KAT: I can’t believe this!

MC: The turtle tattoo! The photo on Suresh’s phone!

DANA: Shut up!

KAT: Wow!

PETE: That tat there? Really?

NICOLAS: Gotta be a coincidence.

MC: No coincidence. She’s the girl!

KAT: Wow! Just wow!

JOHNNY: There’s a dramatic twist to rival the best of them!

Gabi catches her breath and smiles at the other Islanders.

GABI: Yeah, so MC is right. It was me. I’m the waitress.

GABI: But there’s more to my story than you might have been told.

MC: Really? Like what?

GABI: Can I at least settle in first, MC? Thanks.

ARLO: I hope you’re not here to win Suresh back, I don’t need you ruining my coupling.

GABI: The Casa Amor girls might have already done that.

ARLO: Oh, you’ve got some bite on you, haven’t ya?

GABI: I sure do.

JOHNNY: That was one hell of a performance!

ARLO: I’d maybe call it showing off.

GABI: If I was showing off, you’d sure know about it!

ARLO: You’re not playing are you?

GABI: Nope.

DANA: Your energy is electric!

PETE: Seems like things just stepped up a gear. I’m loving this!

NICOLAS: bombshell in more ways than one!

GABI: That’s me!

JOHNNY: Your name’s Gabi, did you say?

GABI: Gabrielle, technically, but Gabi to my friends. Any chance I can get a proper welcome?

DANA: Sure, Gabi, sorry, that was all just a bit of a shock! I’m Dana. Nice to meet

you.

Dana gives Gabi a welcoming hug.

GABI: Nice to meet you, Dana.

The other Islanders stand and gather around Gabi to welcome her to the villa.

ARLO: Hi, Gabi. I’m Arlo, and i’ve gotta say, your tats actually look pretty good!

ARLO: The turtle one especially. Love the placement.

Arlo gives you a bit of side eye.

GABI: Thanks, Arlo.

KAT: Hi Gabi. I’m Kat. I’m with Finn, just so you know.

GABI: Ok, Kat.

Gabi turns to you.

GABI: So, MC, nice to meet you finally.

CHOICE: Nice to meet you too, Gabi

MC: It’s nice to finally meet you, Gabi. I hope we can get along.

GABI: I know we have a history, but I’m here for the future. I hope we can get

along too.

MC: Suresh may have played us both.

GABI: Well, we’ll see about that, won’t we?

CHOICE: This is anything but nice, Gabrielle

MC: Nice? I don’t think so, Gabrielle!

GABI: Coming straight at me with the sass then are you, MC?

GABI: Just so you know, I can go toe to toe with you on that.

MC: Oh yeah?

GABI: Yeah, nobody in this villa is gonna out sass me.

GABI: So, how about you take the loss for now and we try to move on.

GABI: We can be mature about this.

MC: Mature or not, meeting you isn’t a nice experience.

GABI:Well, maybe once you get to know more about me, you’ll change your mind.

CHOICE: I’m not sure how I feel about this.

MC: Sorry, Gabi, but I don’t really know what to make of this situation.

GABI: Yeah, it must be a bit of a shocker.

MC: Yeah, something like that.

GABI: Well, I’m here now, and I’m not going anywhere.

GABI: So I guess it’s up to you to be civil or not.

GABI: But there are things that we need to address at some point.

GABI: So, don’t take too long getting your head together.

Gabi turns away from you to greet the boys.

JOHNNY: Now, you are what I call a bombshell!

PETE: This is big. You’re gonna be a gamechanger, Gabi.

NICOLAS: Yeah, this is huge!

DANA: Come on, fellas, let’s not overwhelm her.

DANA: So, Gabi, have you got your eye on anyone? What’s your type?

PETE: Other than Suresh of course.

JOHNNY: Not funny, Pete.

NICOLAS: Yeah that wasn’t funny… It was hilarious!

PETE: Just trying to lighten the mood, Johnny.

GABI: No, it’s fine. I suppose I’m open to options. But, there’s one girl here

that’s kinda already caught my eye.

NICOLAS: Girl?

Gabi looks at Dana and smiles. Dana blushes a little.

DANA: Wow!

Dana looks at you.

DANA: It’s nice to be appreciated.

GABI: But, I’m willing to get to know everybody. Pete for sure seems to have a sexy

edgy vibe!

PETE: Too right. I’m as edgy as an emo hexagon!

NICOLAS: A true edgelord!

GABI: Might be a bit of me.

GABI: So, with all you new people around, I think it’s about time we had some fun!

DANA: You sound like my kind of fun, Gabi.

DANA: How about I show you around? Get you settled in.

GABI: Yeah, love it, let’s go!

Gabi and Dana head excitedly into the villa, leaving you and the rest of the Islanders at the firepit.

ARLO: Well, that was all very unexpected.

NICOLAS: Hell of an entrance though.

PETE: Certainly got my motor running.

JOHNNY: She’s gonna be fiery I think.

ARLO: Calm yourselves, boys, have you forgotten about us other girls already?

PETE: I certainly haven’t forgotten about you, Arlo.

** based on who you chose in ep. 26 ** 

PETE: And I won’t be forgetting about you any time soon either, MC.

MC: Thanks, Pete.

NICOLAS: And, I definitely won’t be forgetting about you any time soon, MC.

MC: Thanks, Nicolas.

JOHNNY: And, I definitely won’t be forgetting about you any time soon, MC.

MC: Thanks, Johnny.

KAT: I hope Finn hasn’t forgotten about me.

PETE: I suppose that depends how easily he’s distracted by a bunch of hot new

girls.

KAT: A bunch of them! I don’t want to think about it.

ARLO: Then don’t think about it, Kat.

PETE: Good idea, because Finn probably ain’t thinking about you.

NICOLAS: Yeah, just have a good time with us while you can.

JOHNNY: That’s why we’re here after all. Casa Amor brings the fun for sure.

ARLO: I can’t stop thinking about Gabi to be fair. I bet MC can’t either.

KAT: Yeah, MC, how’s Gabi’s arrival made you feel?

CHOICE: I’m fine with it. Let her do her thing.

MC: I’m cool with her being here. She can go about her business.

KAT: I wonder if she’s got her eye on Suresh?

ARLO: Why else would she be here?

KAT: Maybe she’s just looking for love like the rest of us.

MC: If she has come in for Suresh, I guess we’re gonna have a bit of healthy

competition.

MC: Maybe she’s looking for love with Dana?

CHOICE: I’m not happy at all. This isn’t what I want.

MC: I can’t believe I’m gonna be in the villa with her. How can I forgive her?

KAT: I wonder if she’s got her eye on Suresh?

ARLO: Why else would she be here?

KAT: Maybe she’s just looking for love like the rest of us.

MC: If she has come in for Suresh she’s gonna have some serious competition!

MC: I’m not just gonna back down and let her take him from me!

MC: Maybe she’s looking for love with Dana.

CHOICE: I’m not sure yet.

MC: I really don’t know what effect this is gonna have on things.

MC: It’s too early to say how I feel about it.

ARLO: She must be here for Suresh though!

MC: If she is, she is. We’ll find out I suppose.

You hear Pete cough. The girls turn to look at him.

PETE: Not to interrupt or anything, but us boys were wondering about the bedroom

situation.

ARLO: What about it, Pete?

PETE: Well, who’s gonna be sleeping with who?

** based on what you chose in ep. 26 ** 

PETE: I mean, MC did say she’d like to be in my bed.

NICOLAS: Well, MC told me that she’d like to be in my bed.

JOHNNY: Well, MC told me she’d like to be in my bed.

NICOLAS: And the night’s closing in. So it’s time to get cosy.

JOHNNY: Yeah, I want to get into some fun.

ARLO: Well, boys, how about you head inside, while us girls make our decision.

PETE: Sure thing, ladies.

PETE: Can’t wait to see you inside, MC.

NICOLAS: See you soon, girls!

NICOLAS: Can’t wait to see you inside, MC.

JOHNNY: I hope the beds are as comfortable as how you lot have made me feel.

JOHNNY: Especially you, MC.

ARLO: To the dressing room then, girls!

You run with Kat and Arlo to the dressing room.

Gabi and Dana are already getting ready for bed. They are giggling and vibing as

they remove their makeup. They turn to see you and the other girls enter.

GABI: Hey!

DANA: Girl chat is it?

KAT: Defo.

ARLO: Settled in yet, Gabi?

GABI: Yeah, Dana makes a brilliant tour guide.

DANA: Just one of my many talents.

KAT: You two seem to be getting on well.

GABI:  Yeah, meeting somebody as cool as Dana on day one is a blessing.

DANA: That dance you busted out was a blessing.

GABI: I’ve got plenty more moves to show you once we get in the bedroom.

DANA: Gabi, you’ll make me blush.

ARLO: Talking about the bedroom, we need to decide who is sleeping with who.

KAT: I wonder if Finn is sleeping beside somebody.

KAT: Sorry, MC, I’ve probs got you thinking about Alfie’s sleeping arrangements

now.

KAT: Sorry MC, I’ve probs got you thinking about Suresh’s sleeping arrangements

now.

ARLO: Girls, seriously, forget about the Casa Amor bedroom.

ARLO: Let’s focus on our own bedroom, and the action that we could be getting in

there.

ARLO: There’s three new boys waiting in there for us. Let’s get moving!

DANA: About that, Gabi and I have decided to share a bed tonight.

MC: Really?

** If Dana is LI** 

MC: Can we talk about that first?

DANA: I feel like me and Gabi have an instant connection. And, right now, I feel

like I should explore new things.

DANA: With new people.

ARLO: Well, I think Dana and Gabi are a great couple. So, time to pick your bed

partner, MC.

ARLO: Which lucky boy is it gonna be?

CHOICE: I want to go to bed with Pete

MC: I think I’d quite enjoy slipping in beside Pete.

ARLO: Are you saying that just to annoy me?

MC: I said I fancied him the most. Of course I want to share a bed with him.

ARLO: Well, let’s see what Pete has to say about this shall we?

MC: I know I said I fancied Nicolas the most, but I’m feeling a night with Pete

now.

ARLO: Well, let’s see what Pete has to say about this shall we?

MC: I know I said I fancied Johnny the most, but I’m feeling a night with Pete

now.

ARLO: Well, let’s see what Pete has to say about this shall we?

CHOICE: I want to go to bed with Nicolas

MC: I think I’d quite enjoy slipping in beside Nicolas.

MC: I know I said I fancied Pete the most, but I’m feeling a night with Nicolas

now.

ARLO:Glad to hear it, MC. Pete is clearly more into me anyway.

MC: I said I fancied him the most. Of course I want to share a bed with him.

DANA: Can’t argue with that logic.

MC: I know I said I fancied Johnny the most, but I’m feeling a night with Nicolas

now.

ARLO: I guess you’re spoilt for choice, MC.

CHOICE: I want to go to bed with Johnny

MC: I think I’d quite enjoy slipping in beside Johnny.

MC: I know I said I fancied Pete the most, but I’m feeling a night with Johnny

now.

ARLO: Glad to hear it, MC. Pete is clearly more into me anyway.

MC: I know I said I fancied Nicolas the most, but I’m feeling a night with Johnny

now.

ARLO: I guess you’re spoilt for choice, MC.

MC: I said I fancied him the most. Of course I want to share a bed with him.

DANA: Can’t argue with that logic.

CHOICE: I want to go to bed alone

MC: I’m gonna spend the night alone actually.

ARLO: Even though you said you fancied Pete?

MC: Just because I said I fancy him, doesn’t mean I want him in my bed just yet.

ARLO:Good to hear actually, because I’m planning on sharing a bed with that

beauty.

ARLO: Even though you said you fancied Nicolas?

MC: Just because I said I fancy him, doesn’t mean I want him in my bed just yet.

ARLO: Even though you said you fancied Johnny?

MC: Just because I said I fancy him, doesn’t mean I want him in my bed just yet.

KAT: To be honest, I might do the same as MC.

ARLO: Come on, you lot. Can’t let all these worldies go to waste.

ARLO: At this rate, I’m gonna be bedding all three boys at the same time, ha!

The sounds of the boys bantering from the bedroom can be heard,

ARLO: Time to get changed and jump in bed I think. Who knows how much time we’ve

got to enjoy this.

GABI: Yeah, let’s do it.

DANA: Change first. Do it second, ha!

You and the other girls excitedly head into the bedroom.

You enter the bedroom with the rest of the girls to find Pete, Nicolas and Johnny

happily standing in the center of the room.

NICOLAS: Nice of you to join us.

JOHNNY: Yeah, we were starting to think you might have ran off to the boys in Casa

Amor.

ARLO: The best things come to those who wait. Never rush.

JOHNNY: I’ll try to remember that.

PETE: For a guy that’s used to high speeds, the bedroom is the one place where I

like to take it slow.

ARLO: Oh, Pete, darling, you are speaking my language.

Dana and Gabi excitedly jump into Dana’s bed.

DANA: So, yeah boys, me and Gabi are gonna be sharing a bed tonight.

GABI: Sorry to disappoint, fellas, but Dana has got me wrapped up in her curls

already.

JOHNNY: That’s cool.

MC: Yeah, soooo cool!

DANA: If me and Gabi are vibing, you need to accept it, MC.

NICOLAS: I think it’s great that people are vibing so soon. Hope I can find someone to

vibe with too.

PETE: So, MC, Kat and Arlo, who is sleeping next to who?

CHOICE: PETE

MC: I’d like you in my bed tonight, Pete.

PETE: Ok. I think you might have made the right choice there, MC

MC: I hope so.

ARLO: She’s just being awkward is all. She knew I liked you, Pete.

NICOLAS: Don’t look too upset, Arlo, there’s still two other boys to pick from.

ARLO:I suppose so.

JOHNNY: I don’t snore, if that helps sway your decision.

NICOLAS: Just to be clear, Arlo, I don’t snore either.

ARLO: Fine, I’m gonna go with Nicolas.

NICOLAS: That’s great, Arlo. Which bed is ours? I’d like to get between the sheets

ASAP.

ARLO: You’re winning me over already, Nicolas. My bed’s over here, follow me.

JOHNNY: This is all cool, this is all very cool. Just means I can get a little closer

to Kat then.

KAT: Yeah, about that Johnny, I’m gonna sleep alone. I’m not ready for anyone yet.

JOHNNY: Really? Oh man. Look like I’m on my larry lonesome then. That’s a shame.

You and Pete climb into your bed. You both slide beneath the sheets and look at one another. Pete’s toned body is warm and inviting.

PETE: I’m glad you picked me, MC.

PETE: This evening has been proper intense. Can’t say I didn’t enjoy it though.

PETE: I can see you dealing with all this drama like a true badass boss.

PETE: And for you to pick me to stay in your bed, well, that’s just a perfect way

to end it all.

PETE: I know you’ve got a few things going on with other Islanders, but I reckon I

can win you over.

MC: We’ll see how things go.

PETE: I’m sure we will.

PETE: So, MC, wanna get a little closer?

CHOICE: Kiss Pete

MC:Kiss me, Pete.

Pete pulls you close to his muscular chest. You close your eyes and move your lips

towards his. You feel Pete kiss you confidently.

He knows exactly what he is doing. Your body tingles at this new and exciting

sensation.

You open your eyes and look at Pete.

MC: Wow, that was hot.

PETE: It really was.

CHOICE: Cuddle Pete

MC: Come here, Pete.

You pull Pete close to you and wrap your arms around him. He returns the gesture

and the two of you embrace.

The cuddle is gentle and sensual, with Pete’s rough exterior softer to the touch

than it appears.

MC: This is nice.

PETE: It really is.

CHOICE: Go to sleep

MC: As nice as this is, I kinda just want to get a good night’s sleep.

PETE: Sure, I understand. It’s been an exhausting evening.

Pete leans onto his side and looks at you. He whispers so that nobody else can

hear.

PETE: So, tomorrow might be a little awkward.

MC: Why’s that?

PETE: The whole Gabi situation.

You look over at Dana’s bed. You can hear giggles coming from under the covers.

PETE: Dana and Gabi seem to be really hitting it off.

MC: Maybe I should have a chat with Gabi as soon as I can?

PETE: Yeah, it might not be great to leave any tension hanging out there.

PETE: And it’s probably a good idea to work out what her true motives are too.

PETE: Especially if she’s gonna interfere with any relationship plans you have.

Pete yawns.

PETE: Anyway, tomorrow is a new day. Best to sleep on it for now.

MC: Yeah, maybe.

PETE: Good night, MC.

MC: Night, Pete.

CHOICE: NICOLAS

MC: I’d like you in my bed tonight, Nicolas.

NICOLAS: Nice one, MC You can clearly tell the genuine article from a cheap knock

off.

ARLO: That means sexy Pete is all mine.

PETE: Yeah, and I’m far from a cheap knock off. So, which bed is ours, Arlo?

ARLO: Follow me.

JOHNNY: This is all cool, this is all very cool. Just means I can get a little closer

to Kat then.

KAT: Yeah, about that Johnny, I’m gonna sleep alone. I’m not ready for anyone else

NICOLAS: This evening has been intense. Wild fun, but intense.

NICOLAS: I bet you’ll deal with all this drama like a true boss. Take it all in your

stride.

perfect.

  other.

KAT: Yeah, about that Nicolas, I’m gonna sleep alone. I’m not ready for anyone

yet.

NICOLAS: Really? No sweat. Looks like I’ll have to wait till tomorrow to win you all

over instead.

You and Johnny climb into your bed. You both slide beneath the sheets and look at

one another. Johnny’s tight body is warm and inviting.

JOHNNY: I’m glad you picked me, MC.

JOHNNY: This evening has been intense. Fun, but intense.

PETE

You wake up to the hustle and bustle of a new day.

You look to your side as Pete yawns.

PETE: Good morning, MC.

MC: Morning, Pete.

PETE: So, MC, when are you gonna speak to Gabi?

CHOICE: Talk to Gabi now

MC: I need to chat with her right now. I can’t wait any longer.

PETE: You sure that’s a good idea? With everybody else in the room?

MC: We need to talk about Suresh. We need to address our past.

PETE: I’m just thinking maybe you should let her have her breakfast first.

CHOICE: Talk to Gabi later

MC: I’ll grab her for a chat at some point later on.

PETE: Yeah, no reason to start the day with a serious discussion.

MC: We will need to speak at some point though.

PETE: Do you have to? You could be mature and just let it all go?

MC: Are you calling me immature?

PETE: No, I just mean sometimes things are best ignored.

CHOICE: I’m not sure when

MC: I really don’t know when I should talk to her.

MC: We will need to speak at some point though.

PETE: Do you have to? You could be mature and just let it all go?

MC: Are you calling me immature?

PETE: No, I just mean sometimes things are best ignored. Especially when you're uncertain about them.

NICOLAS

You look to your side as Nicolas stretches and smiles at you.

NICOLAS: Good morning, MC.

MC: Morning, Nicolas.

NICOLAS: So, MC, when are you gonna speak to Gabi?

CHOICE: Talk to Gabi now

MC: I need to chat with her right now. I can’t wait any longer.

NICOLAS: I agree, best to get it off your chest as soon as possible.

MC: Me and Gabi need to talk about Suresh. We need to address our past.

NICOLAS: Yeah, address the past now so you can move quickly into the future.

CHOICE: Talk to Gabi later

MC: I’ll grab her for a chat at some point later on.

NICOLAS: Sure, no reason to rush into things. You’ve got plenty of time to decide

when.

MC: Thanks, Nicolas.

NICOLAS: No problem, MC. You just need to do whatever is best for you.

CHOICE: I’m not sure when

MC: I really don’t know when I should talk to her.

MC: We will need to speak at some point though.

NICOLAS: Yeah, absolutely. Talking things out is always beneficial.

MC: Thanks, Nicolas.

NICOLAS: No problem, MC. You just need to do whatever is best for you.

JOHNNY

You look to your side as Johnny stretches and smiles at you.

JOHNNY: Good morning, MC.

MC: Morning, Johnny.

JOHNNY: So, MC, when are you gonna speak to Gabi?

CHOICE: Talk to Gabi now

MC: I need to chat with her right now. I can’t wait any longer.

JOHNNY: If you need to get it out, you should just get it out.

MC: Exactly. I need to talk to her right now. We need to address our past.

JOHNNY: Yeah, it’s never a good idea to bottle things up.

CHOICE: Talk to Gabi later

MC: I’ll grab her for a chat at some point later on.

JOHNNY: Yeah, I’m sure she’ll be up for it. I bet she wants to clear the air too.

MC: Maybe, who knows what her motives are though?

JOHNNY: I’ve not known you long, MC, but you seem like you’ll take care of biz.

MC: Thanks for the support, Johnny.

CHOICE: I’m not sure when

MC: I really don’t know when I should talk to her.

MC: We will need to speak at some point though.

JOHNNY: Pencil it in for whenever, or just don’t plan it.

JOHNNY: I’m sure you’ll make the right decision, MC.

MC: Thanks for the support, Johnny.

**I think if you sleep alone, you get the scene below where you jump out of bed and try to talk to Gabi, because it doesn’t make sense that you would tell the boys you’ll talk to her later and immediately pounce on her ** 

You look around the room as the rest of the Islanders get out of bed. You can

hear Gabi and Dana chatting in the bed beside you.

DANA: That’s what I’m saying, sometimes you wake up, and it’s the first thing on

your mind.

GABI: Ha, I know exactly what you mean.

DANA: Oh, morning, MC.

MC: Morning, Dana.

GABI: Morning, MC.

You jump out of bed and move towards Gabi.

MC: Gabi, I really think we should talk.

GABI: Now? Can I have a shower and change first?

MC: No, Gabi, this can’t wait.

A phone pings.

KAT: I’ve got a text!

GABI: It seems our chat’s gonna have to be put aside till a little later on, MC.

ARLO: What’s it say, Kat?

Kat reads out the text.

LITEXT: Islanders, it’s time to get to know each other over a bit of fast paced

breakfast speed dating! #MeetGreetEat #CerealThrillers

PETE: I feel the need for speed, baby! This is right up my alley!

NICOLAS: So we get a little bit of private time with each of the girls then.

JOHNNY: Breakfast with MC, Arlo, Kat and Dana? I’m glad I’m hungry!

GABI: Me too! Dana’s got me feeling peckish already.

KAT: Do you think that they're doing the same in Casa Amor?

ARLO: Who cares, Kat.

KAT: I care, Arlo. I don’t want Finn going on loads of dates with loads of girls.

KAT: That fact you don’t care, says a lot about how much you like Finn.

KAT: Just proves I’m the right choice for him after all.

ARLO: Not if he chooses a Casa Amor girl over you.

KAT: Arlo!

Kat storms off into the dressing room.

DANA: Lay off her, Arlo. She’s in her feelings right now.

ARLO: She started it!

DANA: She’s just emotional, the test of the Casa is really getting to her.

DANA: Let’s not make things any harder for her.

ARLO: Fine. I’ll go and talk to her.

GABI: Wow, Dana. You really brought the chill to that situ.

DANA: Always keep the peace, Gabi. Don’t want anyone losing their heads now, do we?

Gabi looks at you and smiles.

GABI: Yeah, I’m all about making peace if I can.

ARLO: Dana, Gabi, MC, come on. I’ve never seen people dress slower for speed

dates!

MC: Let’s not keep her waiting.

NICOLAS: See you soon, girls! Speed is of the essence!

JOHNNY: Yeah, time's a ticking.

You and the other girls head into the dressing room.

While getting ready for the speed dates, Gabi and Dana continue to chuckle amongst

themselves.

Arlo and Kat have stopped bickering and are discussing the looks that they are

going for.

ARLO: How are you gonna dress for your dates, MC?

ARLO: I was thinking that this would suit you.

ARLO: That looks absolutely amazing on you.

KAT: Yeah. People aren’t going to want their dates with you to end.

*TRYOUTFIT*

  Looking this good will make people want a second date.

MC: Even at breakfast, I’m gonna be the tastiest thing at the table.

ARLO: Yep, the scrambled eggs are all going in your basket!

*** CONDENSED DOWN ***

You take one last look in the mirror.

GABI: Let’s go speed-dating!

DANA: On your marks, get set, GO!

Dana grabs Gabi by the hand and drags her out of the room.

KAT: Those two ain’t wasting any time.

ARLO: Let’s not fall behind then.

KAT: MC, can I grab you for a sec?

MC: Sure, what’s up?

KAT: Come with me out to the terrace. I need a chat about some important stuff.

Kat sits beside you on the soft seats of the terrace.

KAT: I don’t know what to do, MC.

MC: What do you mean, Kat?

KAT: I’m just feeling a bit all over the place. I don’t know what to do about

stuff.

MC: What stuff?

KAT: You know, emotional stuff, soppy stuff.

MC: Finn stuff?

KAT: Yeah. I can’t stop thinking about him.

**based on what you chose in ep. 26**

If you told her to graft:

MC: Like I told you, you should forget about Finn for a bit and graft on the new

boys.

MC: It’s not like the two of you are married or anything. Why not try other

options?

KAT: Maybe you’re right. I’d never be this drippy on the outside.

KAT: What is happening to me?! I’m turning into my nan, ha!

MC: So, get out there and get some graft on like the Queen of Basildon that you

are!

If you told her to stay loyal: 

MC: Like I told you, you should stay loyal.

MC: And, it’s good that you are thinking about him, it means you miss him.

MC: And it will feel even nicer when the two of you are reunited.

KAT: Unless he comes back with one of the Casa Amor girls.

MC: Don’t think like that, Kat. Try and stay positive.

KAT: If I were you, I’m not sure how positive I would be about Alfie coming back for me.

KAT: If I were you, I’m not sure how positive I would be about Suresh coming back

for me.

MC: Like I told you, it depends how strong you think your coupling is.

Kat stands and walks to the edge of the terrace. She looks out at the villa

surroundings.

KAT: Maybe I just need to relax, and try to have a bit of fun with you and the

other girls.

KAT: It’s funny isn’t it, MC, how a bunch of strangers can end up meaning so much

to each other.

MC: We’re not strangers anymore, Kat.

KAT: I know, and I’m really glad of that.

Kat looks out into the distance.

KAT: I just wonder if the boys at Casa Amor feel the same way?

MC: Is this turning into a deep one, Kat?

Kat turns to you with a serious look.

KAT: I act mature, right?

CHOICE: Yeah, of course you do

MC: You’re mature, Kat. Absolutely you are.

KAT: Thanks, MC, nice to know that somebody sees me that way.

KAT: I’ve always felt people don’t see how many things I have to offer.

MC: You’ve got plenty going for you, Kat. Don’t let others make you feel any

different.

KAT: Thanks, MC.

CHOICE: No, you act kind of immature

MC: Well, you are kind of immature, Kat.

KAT: Wow! I didn’t expect you to be so blunt, MC.

MC: You’ve got your whole life to mature, Kat.

KAT: I’m not sure how I’m supposed to feel about that, MC.

CHOICE: I’m not sure

MC: I don’t really have an answer for you, Kat.

MC: What does it mean to be mature anyway? Does it even matter?

KAT: I’ve always felt that people think I’m not mature enough for anything real.

KAT: And I hope people see me for who I actually am.

Kat composes herself.

KAT: Well, I hope that certain other Islanders see me as mature enough to be taken

seriously.

KAT: I don’t want to be seen as a silly fun time to be joked about later.

Kat smiles again. She’s putting on a brave face.

KAT: Anyway, what’s your plan for the breakfast dates?

KAT: You do realise that you’re gonna have to speak to Gabi don’t you?

MC: Yep.

KAT: So how are you gonna approach the chat?

CHOICE: I’m gonna be friendly with Gabi

MC: I’m gonna play it friendly, no need for drama at breakfast.

KAT: I think I’d be tempted to knock her bowl of cereal into the air!

CHOICE: I’m gonna bare my teeth

MC: I’m gonna let Gabi know that I’m not to be messed with.

KAT: Yes, MC! Let her know how you really feel.

CHOICE: I’m going in without a plan

MC: I’ve not got a plan. I’m just gonna go with the flow.

KAT: I’m not sure that I’d be able to play it as chill as you.

Kat grips your hand supportively.

KAT: Well, we should probably get down to the garden and see how things play out.

KAT: Not sure Gabi is hoping for a drama-free brekkie too, though.

KAT: Maybe Gabi will be up for a bit of agro too.

KAT: Maybe Gabi will have a more solid game plan than the one you’ve got.

Tables are set up in the garden, each with a selection of breakfast nibbles. There’s

a name placement on each table.

ARLO: Oh, there’s mine.

Arlo runs excitedly to her table and takes a seat.

DANA: Oh, the croissants look delish.

Dana jogs to her table and sits down.

KAT: You know what, MC? I might get my graft on.

KAT: Like you said, it might take my mind off Finn.

KAT: You know what, MC? I’ll do the dates, but I won’t forget about Finn.

KAT: Like you said, stay positive, and our reunion will be even nicer!

KAT: You know what, MC? I’m gonna try and enjoy this.

KAT: Like you said, it can just be a bit of fun to take my mind off Finn.

KAT: And Dana’s right, those croissants look tasty as!

Kat struts over and sits at her table.

You walk over to the remaining vacant table and take your seat.

You look up as the sound of laughter is heard. It’s the rest of the Islanders.

NICOLAS: Breakfast is served.

JOHNNY: As Juicy as the OJ, and as hot as the toast!

GABI: Not quite as good as breakfast in bed, but close.

PETE: I know it’s not the main point of the dates, but I’m legit starving, ha!

JOHNNY: So, who sits where?

NICOLAS: I don’t think it really matters. We get to date everybody anyway.

GABI: Well, Dana just gave me the eye, so…

PETE: The croissants look great on Arlo’s table.

JOHNNY: Unlikely that anything romantic’s gonna happen, but maybe I can cheer Kat up.

NICOLAS: MC is looking full of sunshine this morning. Seems perfect to me.

Nicolas sits down at your table and smiles at you.

NICOLAS: I’m looking forward to this.

Another phone pings.

KAT: Oh, I got a text!

Kat reads out the text.

LITEXT: Islanders, you now have two minutes with your date, before moving to the next

table along. #QuickFlirt #MoveFast

KAT: Two minutes? How are we gonna time this? Wait, I’ve got just the thing.

Kat rushes over to the gym and rummages through some of the gear. She grabs

something and runs back to her table?

JOHNNY: What have you got there?

KAT: It’s Finn’s egg timer!

DANA: The one he mentioned at the quiz way back?

KAT: Yeah, he uses it for his sessions at the gym. He forgot to take it to Casa Amor.

DANA: Perfect!

ARLO: Might smell a bit too sweaty to have on a breakfast table!

KAT: Whatever, Arlo. It does the job, and Finn would be happy to see it being

used.

KAT: Besides, I quite enjoy the smell of Finn’s sweat.

ARLO: Ok. You do you, Kat.

Kat leans in close to talk to you.

KAT: I might just be getting carried away with this whole date timer business.

KAT: But, I’m thinking that you could have a bit of extra time with your dates.

MC: Extra time?

KAT: Maybe I just don’t want to let go of Finn’s egg timer yet, or maybe I’m just

feeling generous.

KAT: At the end of each date I’ll offer you extra time to ask each date a few more

questions.

MC: Ok.

KAT: Right then, two mins on the clock. First date, get set, Go!

NICOLAS: Hi, I’m Nicolas, I believe we’ve already met.

MC: We did share a bed last night

NICOLAS:

Exactly, ha!

NICOLAS: It’s a shame we couldn’t have had breakfast in bed actually.

Nicolas laughs.

NICOLAS: So, MC, our first date. The first of many maybe.

NICOLAS: I’d say two mins is all I need, but I’m more of a long term guy.

NICOLAS: Do you think you can get to know somebody in such a short time?

CHOICE: Yes, I think you can

MC: Sometimes, people click straight away.

NICOLAS: There’s a reason people believe in love at first sight.

NICOLAS: Although, I fall in love at the sight of almost every girl I meet.

MC: Every girl?

NICOLAS: Some more than others obviously.

CHOICE: No way, it takes time

MC: I don’t think that you can get to know somebody that quickly.

NICOLAS: I think that you’re right. Time is an important part of a meaningful

relationship.

NICOLAS: Although, I have enjoyed quite a few short-term relationships too.

MC: Yeah, I can believe that.

CHOICE: I’m not really sure

MC: I don’t know. Maybe it depends on the person.

NICOLAS: I completely agree. Each relationship is different.

NICOLAS: Sometimes there are fireworks as soon as two pairs of eyes meet.

NICOLAS: Other times, you don’t realise how much you care for somebody until you’ve

spent years together.

NICOLAS: I wonder which one we could be?

Your attention is caught by Arlo laughing hysterically.

ARLO: Pete, I never thought a story about a motorbike could be so funny!

PETE: I haven’t even got to the funny part yet.

PETE: It involves the exhaust pipe!

NICOLAS: Pete and Arlo seem to be hitting it off.

MC: Arlo loves to exaggerate a laugh on a date.

NICOLAS: I see, it makes her hard to ignore though.

MC: I think that might be her plan.

NICOLAS: Anyway, let’s talk about me and you.

MC: What do you want to talk about?

NICOLAS: Why don’t you ask me something about my love life?

MC: Sure. Let me think. 

CHOICE: How many people have you slept with?

MC: So, Nicolas, how many people have you gone all the way with?

NICOLAS: Wow, straight to the point, MC!

MC: No point wasting time.

NICOLAS: It’s more than my age, and less than my IQ. Hope that narrows it down a bit,

ha!

MC: Wow! I wonder if you’re a genius?

NICOLAS: A genius of love you might say!

NICOLAS: And I’ve had a great time with every single person I’ve been with.

CHOICE: Have you ever cheated on a partner?

MC: So, Nicolas, have you ever cheated on somebody?

NICOLAS: So, straight in with a serious question then. You’ve put me right on the

spot.

NICOLAS: Ok, honesty is super important to me. So, cheating is a no-no.

NICOLAS: I’ve never cheated, and I’d guess that you and I are pretty similar in that

way.

NICOLAS: But, I also know that you are open to forgiveness and moving on.

NICOLAS: And I’d say that I agree with that way of living too.

CHOICE: Have you ever been in love?

MC: So, Nicolas, have you ever been in love?

NICOLAS: Wow, straight onto the big topic. L.O.V.E

MC: I can’t think of a four-letter word that’s bigger.

NICOLAS: I can!

MC: Nicolas!

NICOLAS: Ha, you’re right though. There’s nothing bigger than love.

NICOLAS: I’m surprised, for something so big, it’s been pretty hard to find.

NICOLAS: I’m not sure that I’ve found it.

NICOLAS: …Yet.

Finn’s egg timer BUZZES loudly.

KAT: So, MC, fancy asking Nicolas a few more questions?

*Yes please

*** DIAMOND CHOICE *** 

MC: Yes please, Kat.

NICOLAS: Fantastic! Let’s do it!

MC: Ok. Let me think.

CHOICE: What is your biggest turn on?

MC: What turns you on more than anything?

NICOLAS: I wouldn’t say that I have a single thing that turns me on more than anything

else.

NICOLAS: I’d say that seeing a girl turned on is what turns me on!

NICOLAS: Seeing that I am the reason for somebody else being in absolute pleasure.

MC: Absolute pleasure?

NICOLAS: Of course, why aim for anything less?

MC: I’ll keep that in mind.

NICOLAS: What’s your next question?

CHOICE: What is your most embarrassing dating moment?

MC: Tell me about the most embarrassing thing that’s happened to you on a date.

NICOLAS: Ha, that’s a good question. Although, I don’t get embarrassed too easily.

NICOLAS: There was this one time where the girl that I was dining with suddenly walked out on me.

NICOLAS: Like, just up and left. I searched all around the restaurant for her. No sign.

NICOLAS: Eventually I asked a member of staff if they had seen a beautiful blonde girl

 in a blue dress.

NICOLAS: The girl at the bar said she’d left after being told that she was having

  dinner with a creep!

NICOLAS: I couldn’t believe it, then it suddenly dawned on me that I had dated the

barmaid.

NICOLAS: She’d totally changed her hair and I didn’t recognise her!

NICOLAS: She said she ruined my date, because I had stood her up weeks earlier.

MC: Sounds like it served you right.

NICOLAS: Yeah, not my best moment.

NICOLAS: The worst thing is I have a loyalty card at that restaurant.

NICOLAS: Everytime I go back, it’s a cringe-filled nightmare!

MC: I could take that loyalty card off your hands!

NICOLAS: It’s yours.

NICOLAS: So, what’s your next question?

CHOICE: What is the wildest place you’ve ever had sex?

MC: Tell me about a wild place where you’ve had sex.

NICOLAS: That’s a naughty question. Let me think for a second.

NICOLAS: Ah, I’ve got it. I was on holiday in Spain once, just outside Barcelona.

NICOLAS: I met a local girl on a dating app. We went out for a drink and for some

reason went to the zoo.

NICOLAS: Anyway, we started getting flirty and frisky. She dragged me off behind some

  bushes.

NICOLAS: Things were getting hot and heavy and clothes were falling away as they do.

MC: Very naughty, Nicolas.

NICOLAS: We were full of passion. We were probably only there for five minutes, but it was unforgettable.

NICOLAS: And just as I, er, finished, an elephant blew its trunk from beyond the

bushes.

MC: Perfect timing!

NICOLAS: I fell over, drew the eyes of some onlookers, and the two of us had to flee

the scene.

NICOLAS: I think we were the wildest thing anybody saw at the zoo that day!

MC: I bet!

NICOLAS: Anyway, what’s your next question?

CHOICE: What is your number one bucket list experience?

MC: If you could do anything, what would you do?

NICOLAS: That’s an easy one! I’d go back to Brazil. I mean, I’ve been before for a holiday.

NICOLAS: But I’d really like to go back and do something meaningful.

MC: Like what?

NICOLAS: Well, being a tree surgeon, I’d love to help out in some way with the rainforest.

NICOLAS: Do some kind of conservation type stuff. I’m not sure what, but just help

out, y’know.

NICOLAS: Maybe I could plant trees to help with deforestation.

MC: Sounds like a very honourable thing to do.

NICOLAS: Yeah, honourable! And it would be great to see the Brazilian beaches again too!

NICOLAS: Top up this tan even more!

NICOLAS: So, MC, what’s your next question?

CHOICE: What is your ultimate fantasy?

MC: Tell me about your ultimate fantasy.

NICOLAS: Wow, that’s a tricky one.

NICOLAS: There’s so many things that I would like to try, but appropriately enough, it

would be food.

MC: Food?

You look down at the assortment of breakfast nibbles.

MC: And what are you doing with your food?

NICOLAS: Whatever my partner would want me to do.

NICOLAS: Me, a partner, and a huge tub of strawberry ice cream. Can’t get much sweeter than that!

NICOLAS: Yep, sexy food play. That does it for me.

MC: Does that mean that you’re getting turned on by this croissant?

NICOLAS: Depends what you’re planning on doing with it.

You and Nicolas laugh together.

Finn’s egg timer BUZZES loudly.

NICOLAS: Well, MC, it’s been great spending this extra time with you.

NICOLAS: But, it looks like Kat’s ready to move things on.

CHOICE: What would be the title of your life story?

MC: What would your biography be called?

NICOLAS: The story of my life? Let’s see. It would be a real page turner.

NICOLAS: With chapter after chapter of steamy shenanigans.

MC: Sounds like a bestseller!

NICOLAS: Yep, people wouldn’t be able to put it down. Just like myself.

NICOLAS: I’m thinking a name like 69 Pieces of Nicolas.

MC: Naughty.

NICOLAS: Critics might call it trashy, but millions of readers all over the world would love it.

NICOLAS: And, hopefully it would be the start of a series. There’s plenty more to come

in my life.

NICOLAS: Maybe there’ll be a chapter or two about you.

Finn’s egg timer BUZZES loudly.

NICOLAS: Well, MC, it’s been great spending this extra time with you.

NICOLAS: But, it looks like Kat’s ready to move things on.

KAT: Ding Ding, round one. Move on people.

ARLO: I feel like I’m back in the ring.

NICOLAS: I’ve enjoyed our date, MC. I hope I made a good impression.

JOHNNY: Good impression or not, time to step aside, matey.

NICOLAS: Good luck, pal. I’m a tough act to follow by the way.

NICOLAS: See you later, MC.

MC: Catch you later, Nicolas.

KAT: Timer set. On your marks, get set, date!

JOHNNY: Kat’s really getting into this, isn’t she?

JOHNNY: She was clinging to that egg timer like she couldn’t live without it!

JOHNNY: Wasn’t the greatest date I’ve ever had.

JOHNNY: Hopefully my date with you will be an improvement.

MC: Let’s see shall we?

Johnny takes a bite from a croissant.

JOHNNY: It would have been nice to have breakfast in bed.

JOHNNY: Although crumbs can get into every crevice, probably best we didn’t!

JOHNNY: So, MC, are you ready for some top quality chat from moi?

MC: Sure. Chat away, Johnny!

JOHNNY: Chat is one of my greatest skills. Us actors are good with words, y’know.

MC: Oh really? What words would you use to describe me, Johnny?

JOHNNY: Let me see. Sexy, stunning, perfect.

MC: Thanks, Johnny.

JOHNNY: No probs, MC.

JOHNNY: Anyway, we don’t have much time. What do you want to know about me?

CHOICE: How many people have you slept with?

MC: So, how many people have you gone all the way with, Johnny?

JOHNNY: Ah, that’s a personal one, MC. You might make me blush.

JOHNNY: You might be surprised but it’s not many people at all.

JOHNNY: I can definitely count them on one hand.

JOHNNY: If I’m gonna do that with somebody, I want it to mean something, y’know?

CHOICE: Have you ever cheated on a partner?

MC: Have you ever cheated in a relationship, Johnny?

JOHNNY: Never. That’s a big no for me. Cheating is for the villains.

JOHNNY: I might have used my flair for the dramatic a few times to get out of a

situation.

JOHNNY: And, maybe I’ve told a few creative white lies to get out of relationships.

JOHNNY: But, cheating? No. That’s a step too far in my book.

GABI: Under one roof and all that.

GABI: So, if you have any problems with me, we should probably get them out in the

open.

GABI: Do you have a problem with me being here in the villa?

CHOICE: Yes, I’ve got a problem with you

MC: Yeah, I do have a problem with you being here.

GABI: I’ve got as much right to be here as you have, MC.

MC: That doesn’t mean I have to like it.

GABI: It’d be even funnier if we ended up as good mates then, wouldn’t it?

CHOICE: No, no problem

MC: I’ve not got a problem with you being here.

GABI: Good, I’m glad we’ll be able to get along.

GABI: You never know, we might end up as good mates.

GABI: You might realise that we both have a lot in common.

MC: Like what?

GABI: The fact that we’ve both had relationships with Suresh doesn’t have to be all

there is.

MC: I wouldn’t call a one night stand a relationship.

GABI: Er, yeah, about that!

MC: What?

GABI: I’ve been trying to find the best way to tell you this.

MC: Tell me what, Gabi?

GABI: Suresh and I weren’t just a one night thing.

were!

NARRATOR:

This is the most awkward thing I’ve seen since Mr Egg and Mrs Bacon were

thrown out of a restaurant!

NARRATOR:

The place didn’t serve breakfast! The villa does though, and it always comes

with a juicy side of drama!

NARRATOR:

How’s this revelation gonna shake up the villa? Find out next time on Love Island.

Summary: The reader begins to realize his feelings for Saiki.

Saiki x M!Reader

Word Count: 8711

1. The Best Friends

Being friends with a psychic definitely had its ups and downs. At first, you didn’t notice a thing out of the ordinary with Saiki, well, granted you were kids when the both of you met so naturally you just wanted to be friends and thought nothing more. However, he noticed something odd with you the moment you two met.

He couldn’t read your mind.

Actually forget being about to read your mind, none of his psychic abilities worked on you. He couldn’t see through you and when he touched you without his super thin transparent gloves on nothing happened. You were basically immune to him.

At first, he thought something was wrong with you, or that maybe you had some psychic powers as well. That wasn’t the case at all. In reality, you were a normal human without any powers or tricks. That stumped Saiki even more, but it also became the soul reason he wanted to be your friend as well.

For one, he didn’t have to deal with your thoughts. Two, his image of you wasn’t ruined because he can’t see under your skin. Three, your calmer personality made him relax. And of course all those other things like your kindness and stuff, but those were irrelevant the moment he knew he couldn’t read your mind.

It’s been years since he met you in the park during recess, and now here you guys were, 16 years later and still friends. Oh, there was one thing that bothered him about you.

“What to hang out today?” You asked as you slung your bag over your shoulder.

“Sure.” Saiki said. Yep. That’s right, since he can’t get in your mind, he actually has to move his mouth when he talks to you.

It was a bit weird to others that he never did it with anyone else other than you, but he didn’t care.

On the way home he couldn’t help but notice you eyeing his antennas, the things that keep his powers stable. He turned his head towards you and gave you a curiosity look.

“Do those things poke at your head at all?” You asked, moving you hand up to poke at the top of the pink ball. “Like, does it make your head ichy?”

Saiki shook his head. He knew he had to talk to you at some points, but times like these he didn’t. He enjoyed that about you too, that you don’t force him to talk all the time. You knew it was a bit weird for him to talk, he explained it to you when he told you all about his powers.

“Hm,” you hummed out. Your hands going back at your side and into your pant pockets. “It would for me, if I was you. They just look painful, but I guess you gotta do what you gotta do if you don’t wanna blow up the world.”

Saiki nodded his head, his eyes continuing to linger on you. It was one days like these when he saw you thinking so hard about something that he wished he could just take a peak. At some points, he loved the silence, especially when the both of you were watching movies, but right now, especially in this moment, he’d give anything to know. It was mostly prominent when he’d stare at you during class and you’d have this far out look in your orbs, you drew him in, and perhaps that’s why he fell for you.

Though, there were other factors that won his favor. Mostly the fact that, unlike everyone else, he can’t stare right through you and just see your raw muscles and pumping organs. Instead, he was able to focus on your handsome face and not get side tracked about your racing thoughts. You were the only person in the world that make him feel somewhat normal. That was a love-hate relationship at times.

“Think I could sleep over tonight?” You suddenly asked, “we don’t have school tomorrow.”

Saiki stared at you for a moment just to relish in that fact that nothing worked on you. No telekinesis, mind control, no nothing. He was going to have to win your favor just like everyone else. To him, it wasn’t normal, but looking at you, he didn’t seem to mind the extra work.

“Sure,” Saiki said. He still had trouble talking aloud, hell, sometimes he will actually use telekinesis and wait for your response only to have pure silence. “My parents are leaving for a wedding, so the house should be free for a while.”

When the two of you got to Saiki’s house, it was a bit peaceful until his parents had to head out. You liked his mom and dad a lot, they were like your second family, so you wanted to wish them a good time. It was for one Saiki’s dad’s coworkers.

“Are you sure you don’t wanna come with us?” Saiki’s dad asked his son. “You’ve met Kirishima before, and you can bring [Name] as your plus one date.”

You knew Saiki wasn’t going to be interested in a wedding. He always told you normal happy events for others is misery for him since he can hear the jealousy and pity that the crowd is thinking. You felt sorry that he couldn’t turn it off, but you were glad that you were the only person he could catch a break with. However, when you looking over at Saiki, he seemed to entertain the thought.

It was a new side to Saiki, one that made you confused. It was always either you or no one. You could tell the way he wanted to get away from many of the people in his class that seemed to have declared themselves his friends from a small interaction. Sure, you felt their interest, but it was just a bit sad to you that Saiki could never actually enjoy friends unless they were pure. Otherwise, he could hear all the backstabbing thoughts or otherwise stupid comments that go around in their brain that was thought to be private to them.

“I’m going to have to pass,” you commented. “I don’t have a suit, besides, you two should enjoy the night. It’s been a while since I’ve seen you both go out alone.”

Saiki’s mom smiled widely at you. Her eyes clouding over with a wet film before wrapping her arms around you for a tight hug. “Ah, thank you, [Name]! What would we do without you?”

You chuckled softy at the comment before saying, “Who knows, I rather not think about that.”

When she finally let you go, you and Saiki waved the both of them off as they left. Honestly, you weren’t sure if they’d even make it back at a reasonable time. It was a wedding, after all. Oh well, as long as they make it back drunk and safe rather than drunk and not safe, you didn’t mind. You were sleeping over anyway, so right now, you just wanted to hang out with your childhood best friend.

“What do you wanna do?” You asked with a calming tone.

Saiki turned his head to you. “TV?”

“Sure,” you smiled. However, as soon as you turned to the living room, you noticed the absolute mess his parents left behind. So, out of the goodness of your heart, you said, “How about you find something and all clean up this in the meantime. Sound good?”

Saiki nodded once more. He truly thought your actions were kind, but he rather have you watching TV with him than picking up his dad’s dirty clothes. He knew his father tended to be sloppy, but this was just a mess.

As you were about to pick up a pair of jeans, all the clothes that were strewn about the floor suddenly started to float in the air and shoot into the open washing machine. The trash floated itself into the garage while everything else was moved around to make it look clean until otherwise.

You pressed your lips together as your brows furrowed in annoyance. Once you turned to Saiki and saw his innocence face, you knew you couldn’t be angry but you had to ask, “Do you really want me to watch TV with you that bad?”

“Yes,” Saiki stated.

You sighed, your lips parting as you left the oxygen leave your lungs. “Fine, but let’s both clean up a bit before than. It’ll be a nice surprise and a way to thank your parents for letting me stay the night.”

Saiki nodded. “Okay.”

It took a bit of convincing on your end to let him let you help out. You may not have powers, but you didn’t want to take advantage of his. You knew it was effortless and he made it seem like it didn’t affect him whatsoever, but you knew every time he does something it takes a toll. His powers aren’t perfect.

You both ended up cleaning the living room, Saiki’s room, and now you were in the kitchen sorting the trash. Saiki was using his powers to sort while you whipped down the countertops.

“Good grief,” Saiki said aloud, his voice drawing your eyes to him. He was crouched down with two bags in front of him and the garage floating upside down, it’s contents was either going in the first or second bag.

“What?” You asked curiosity. It wasn’t all the time that he speaks from his mouth without you talking first.

“How could anyone have let it get this dirty in here?” He asked aloud. “I mean, really it’s a wonder we don’t have bugs.”

You were going to respond. That was until he suddenly shut his mouth, a chest deep grunt leaving him as you notice him stare at something on the furniture next to him.

It was a cockroach.

Mind you, the moment you realized what it was you weren’t the least bit surprised when he suddenly teleported. Saiki hates bugs. He could read the minds of humans, as well as animals, but he couldn’t with bugs. He thought they were small minded icky things. Hell, he couldn’t even let his powers touch the thing.

You counted down the seconds before he came back. It was around ten, maybe fifteen. He also teleported right behind you.

“Welcome back,” you greeted and watched as his eyes dart towards the floor.

“Sorry, I may have overreacted.” He muttered. “I just hate them.”

“I know,” you hummed out before looking around and grabbing a cup and piece of paper. Saiki watched you as you let the roach crawl on the piece of paper before placing the cup over it so it didn’t run away. You were quick to put it outside and close the window after so Saiki didn’t worry about it coming back in.

“All gone,” you cheered with a smile. “Now, let’s watch TV, ya?”

2. Saiki’s Pushy Friends

PK Academy was a school were many different personalities and people collided. It was always fun to meet new people in this school, yet on the other side of the coin, sometimes they were more than a little odd. Not like you can speak, your best friend was a psychic. Though, he wasn’t delusional like this one guy in your class that declared himself Saiki’s friend. His name was Kaido. He thinks he has powers and has an evil organization following him around.

Then, you have Nendou. Basically, he’s stupid. Not that you minded, but sometimes being stupid isn’t the best thing in the world, especially now.

It was the sports festival at PK and Saiki and you had to participate in it. You both were on the same team since all the teams were decided by class. This also gave you a good idea of the friends Saiki has made. It was safe to say that Kaido was growing on you. You felt a little bad for the guy, what can you say.

Let’s not forget about Hairo as well. You knew him a bit more from hearsay than the others, plus he was class rep. Though, you had to say, he was a little too overly enthusiastic.

It was kind of a surprise to see Teruhashi, the most popular girl in school, try and interact with Saiki. Though, it was a bit amusing since to him, she’s nothing more than walking muscle. However, you did think he would swoon over her like all the other guys in your school if she was like you. However, you knew Saiki had no interest in romance so you don’t care either way.

Finally, Nendou. You were originally going to say that you didn’t mind the guy that much and thought maybe he would be a good thing for Saiki. However, after just watching him take out one of the antennas from Saiki’s head, you started to wonder how much of a danger his stupidity is to Saiki.

You watched that pink haired friend of yours collapse to the ground with a hard thud as soon as Nendou pull the thing out of his head. You were quick to rush over to him and sit by his side. When you flipped him over, since he fell face forward, worry grew about your body and infected your bloodstream.

You heard protests about turning him over, but at this point all the worried voices drowned before they were even audible to you. His lips were parted as drool leaked from his mouth and went down his chin, his eyes dead and without life as darkness surrounded them. It didn’t take you long to recover and swipe the antenna Nendou was holding and pop it back in its rightful place in his pink locks.

You didn’t know how long it would take for him to wake up, or if he’d wake up at all. All you knew was to sit and wait for him to wake up. To your surprise, he woke up rather quickly. Maybe a mere minute or so after you fixed him up. When his eyes opened, you felt yourself suddenly get surrounded as Saiki’s friends crowed over him to ask how he was.

You noticed him using telepathy to talk to everyone when Hairo said, “You passed out after Nendou took that think out of your head, lucky for you, [Name] put it back right away!”

“Yeah, he saved your life!” Kaido spit out next, their hands placing on my shoulder out of respect and gratitude. 

Saiki’s eye then direct to you, his voice never leaving his lips for a moment before you noticed him flinch.

‘Ah,’ you thought. ‘He tried to use telepathy with me again.’

When he noticed, Saiki just nodded in your direction. You knew he was thanking you, he didn’t need to word it out to you. The look in his eyes was enough.

Lunch came immediately after Saiki ended up waking up, and it was understatement to say he didn’t want to be bother with anyone else besides you. He was quick to drag you to the roof of the school to eat.

The both of you sat against the railing, lunch in your laps. You wanted I just forget about the scare that Saiki gave you, but the after effects he was having wasn’t making that easy. He was having trouble, and it was easy to see when his hands were shaking so much that he couldn’t even pick up his food without it falling back in the box.

You side eyed him, his expression one of concentration as he tried to pick up his food again. Though, he dropped it again.

He sighed quickly after that, only looking down at his food as you saw his mind wonder off.

Once you finished chewing whatever food you had in your mouth, you placed your food to the side and moved so that you weren’t side to side, but rather across from Saiki’s body now. He didn’t register your movements until he saw a hand come into his view and pick up an item of food with his chopsticks.

When he turned to you, you had the chopsticks in your dominant hand and your other under the food so it didn’t drop to the filthy ground.

“C’mon, lemme help,” you said. It was easy for Saiki to pick up the worry in your tone, however he knew not to address it or else you’ll just either deny it or baby him. “Open up.”

He obeyed your command after a moment, opening his mouth wide enough for you to place his food in his mouth. The hand that was meant to catch the food if it fell made sure Saiki closed his mouth, his fingers placed a bit of pressure under his chin to shut his jaws before slowly trailing away. The food wasn’t nearly as satisfying as the chill that ran down his spine at your lingering touch that crawled on his skin.

“I could hurt you.” He suddenly spit out. It was pained. “Having my antenna taken out messed up my powers.”

You leaned your head to the side, your eyes never falling from his. “Yeah, I kinda figured.”

“You should go.” He stated.

“Why?”

“I just told you.”

You smiled. “Saiki, you could never hurt me.”

He looked at you like you had something stuck in your teeth. “You don’t know that, I may not be able to read your mind, but I don’t know how my other powers react to you.”

You remained quiet for a moment before shuffling your body side by side again, your head falling to rest of Saiki’s shoulder. You felt him flinch at the contact, his muscles even began to tighten just out of fear.

“Yanno,” you started out saying, your hand coming up to play the antenna that you could reach. “It’s odd to me how these things are the only thing keeping you stable.”

“Is it?”

You chuckled and nodded. “Small things like these verses your powers. The thing that gets me is that these things actually win in that fight. Though, I suppose it does complete the look you have.”

“And what look is that?” Saiki asked as he gazed down at you to see your eyes already on him. He could feel his fingers twitch as he watched you say shamelessly, “The cute, mysterious loner type.”

Saiki’s lips parted as he gazed at you. He quickly recomposed himself when he noticed you waiting patiently for him to respond. He sighed before asking, “Mysterious loner? Where’d you get that?”

You laughed before sarcastically questioning, “yep, I wonder where.”

3. Your friends are my friends

You don’t know how you got wrapped into this, but perhaps it’ll allow you to know Saiki’s friends better.

Currently, you were walking with Kaido, Nendou, and Saiki to a good ramen shop Nendou suggested. You were dragged along when Nendou remembered you from the Sports Festival and as Saiki’s friend. They never really got the chance to speak to you since you’re usually out the door as soon as the bell rings, but today they finally caught you.

At some point Teruhashi joined the group, though you feel like she kinda took over since now the boys, except for Saiki and you, were fawning over her. Saiki and you took it upon yourselves to give them all room to talk to her, so you both sorts trailed behind.

It was silent for a while, the only noise was Nendou or Kaido talking to Teruhashi. However, you caught the, “what does that even mean,” that Saiki mumbled under his breath.

“Hm?” You hummed. “What does what mean?”

It was obvious to you he didn’t realize he said that aloud. But he just seemed to be glad that only you heard that.

“Teruhashi wants me to go ‘oh wow’ or something to her.” Saiki revealed. “I don’t even know what that means.”

You kept your gaze on Saiki for a moment. “So, she likes you?”

“I guess,” he muttered. “I think it’s more that I’m the only guy that isn’t kissing her feet.”

You watched Teruhashi interact with Nendou and Kaido. You know that, normally, she wouldn’t take time to hang out with these guys. However, because of her crush on Saiki, she bares with them. In all honesty, she seems a bit perfect. Being able to deal with them just for the person she adores. It’s easy for anyone to do, and not a lot of people would even bother.

“She seems like a good fit for you.” You suddenly uttered out.

When Saiki heard that, he felt his hands twitch. He didn’t like that, not one bit. What irked him the most was that it seemed natural, like you actually meant it. And, of course, he had no way of knowing if those words were genuine or actually forced.

“No way,” Saiki stated coldly. “Never in a million years.”

“Damn, that’s cold, Saiki.” He heard you say, a teasing tone wedged in your voice.

“Why do you keep calling me Saiki, anyway? We aren’t acquaintances.”

“Hm?” You questioned. “I thought you don’t like me calling you by your first name in public?”

Saiki sighed. “Well now I’m telling you I don’t care.”

Saiki knew this way of showing that you were closer to him than anyone would ever be may have been childish on his part, but when he heard his first name come from your lips in front of his other ‘friends’, he felt more than satisfied. 

4. Friendship Can Bring Romance

Being able to rest during class was one of your guilty pleasures. Even if you got called out by your teacher, you didn’t mind. It was better when it was raining outside, the patter of rain when it hit the window made you want to nap.

“Hey,” a voice called out to you. You didn’t listen though, it wasn’t important.

“Hey, [Name],” it called out again. Okay, maybe you should wake up. Then again, sleep. You could always sleep later though.

You fluttered your eyes open as you felt your body being pushed around. When your sight became focused, the blurry figure in front of you showed a blue hair kid. You knew him, but from where?

“Saiki asked me to wake you up, sorry,” he confessed.

Oh, right. That’s Kaido, Saiki’s friend.

“Hm? Where is Kusuo?” You asked in a groggy voice, your hand coming up to wipe your eyes.

“Oh, he went home.” Kaido informed you. “Something just came up, I guess.”

“Alright,” you hummed before the end of your lips pulled upward. “Thank you, Kaido.”

It wasn’t easy for Kaido to wake up the quiet kid. Kaido only met the guy once or twice, and when he was hanging with him, you only stayed close to Saiki. It was kinda odd, but Kaido understood your attachment to the pink haired man. Saiki was Kaido’s first friend, after all, so he knew how awesome the guy was.

Though, he’s never got the chance to speak to you. He knows Saiki never really goes anywhere with you, and somehow you always end up by his side. He just always seemed to miss you when it came to getting the chance to introduce himself so Kaido was pretty glad when you came along the trip to that ramen place, even if it was a dumb and he got distracted by Teruhashi.

Kaido knew you were the closest person to Saiki. He’s pretty sure that not even Nendou is as close to Saiki as you are. And those two are best friends. Kaido didn’t know the extend of how long you two have been friends, but he does know from watching that Saiki has respect for you. So, it was critical that he makes a great impression with you so that he can become closer to Saiki and maybe you as well.

“S-Sure, no problem!” He stuttered, his bandaged hand retracting from your shoulder and holding them up in the air in a surrendered notion.

“Do you live around here at all? I’ll walk you home as a thank you.” You said as you stood from your seat and began to search for your bag.

“What? You don’t have to do that, really, it isn’t necessary!” Kaido spit out quickly, his words jumping all over the place.

“It’s really no trouble at all,” you stated as you put your bag over your shoulder. “C’mon, let’s get going before the rain gets worse.”

The rain eventually stopped when both teens got closer to your house. Kaido’s was further ahead, so he thought it would be better if he just walked you home instead so you didn’t have to walk more than you have to already.

“So, you’ve been friends with Saiki since he was little, huh?” Kaido asked as you explained why Saiki trusts you so much. “That’s pretty awesome! What was he like back then?”

“Pretty much the same.” You answered. “Though he did get more handsome throughout the years, and he used to be kinda sweet. Now, not so much.”

“I see, so you guys have been through it all together.” Kaido replied.

“Basically, though, he did start to worry me a bit since I was his only friend for a really long time,” you confessed. You paused as you looked up at Kaido and gave him a smile, “But I’m glad he finally made a friend like you.”

Kaido could feel his heart beat a million miles an hour just at the words you strung together. He never heard kinder words than those, and he was even more thrilled that he succeeded in making a good impression on Saiki’s childhood friend!

“It’s, uh, n-no problem, really!” Kaido muttered out as his whole face began to fluster, his hands going everywhere.

“Oh,” you hummed out.

“Hm?” Kaido questioned. His nerves going down. “What is it?”

“Did you know you were dragging your scarf the whole time?” You asked curiosity as your hands started to real in the extra fabric.

“What?” He asked out of pure shock. Though, realizing that he doesn’t make a fool out of himself he said, “O-Of course I did! It’s a fashion choice.”

“Not the best one,” you stated as you stepped closer to the blue haired male.

Kaido’s eyes widened as he stated directly into your colored orbs, watching them dance solely for him. It was like getting attention from a loved one, but this attention make him nervous to the point where he thought his face was going to explode with red. Kaido’s lips slowly started to disappear as the scarf started to build up around his shoulders and neck.

“There you go,” you said, “much better. Now your scarf doesn’t get more dirty and you look even better.”

‘Even better? What’s that supposed to mean? Does it.. does it mean he thought I looked good before?!’ Kaido thought.

Kaido let out an awkward laugh as he played with the end of the scarf. “O-Oh, haha, thank you.”

“Sure,” you hummed. “Now let’s get going.”

5. Blessing Turned On Jealousy

What’s that saying, the enemy of my enemy is my friend? Yeah, that’s it. See, that could apply to this yet at the same time it would go a little different.

More like, the enemy of my best friend is my friend. At least for your situation. You see, walking home with Saiki has now turned into walking home with Saiki, Nendou, and Kaido. Not that you mind, but sometimes you really do wish it was back to when Saiki and you got to spend time alone together. However, being friends with Saiki and then having his friends automatically become your friends may have some perks.

Like now. Bumping into Kaido’s mom was totally accidental. But, in the end it payed off. Why?

Because coffee jelly.

“I know it’s not easy being friends with my son because he’s so shy, but please be patient.” Kaido’s mom announced as she placed the coffee jelly down in front of Saiki and you.

“Please don’t say that mama—I mean—mother.” Kaido pleased, his voice cracking as it got higher with embarrassment.

Overall, the beginning was a very nice. Hell, it was damn near perfect. Although, you just had to snoop around. Well, it was more like exploring Kaido’s room.

Your fingertips brushed along the spines of the many books Kaido had stacked up in his bookcase. It was seriously amazing how many books he had, he even had some original copies of some famous old books.

“This is pretty awesome,” you muttered to yourself before your eyes spotted something that didn’t quite match with the others. In all honesty, you were simply curious. However, curiosity did kill the cat. In your case, more like awakened the Saiki K.

“Hey, Kaido, what is the Jet Black Wings?” You asked aloud as the group sat down eating whatever snacks were about. You would always hear either chewing or at least some conversation, but after that question left your mouth it was dead silent. You felt like you killed something, but when you looked over you noticed Kaido’s face beat red. Seriously, his entire face was as red as a blood moon.

“P-Put that back!” He stuttered out, the blue haired boy suddenly running up to you to snatch the book from your hand.

As he reached for it, you held it higher. Even if he was about the same height or maybe a inch or so taller, you just needed to make him miss his hand from grabbing it.

“Don’t be embarrassed, I’m just curious.” You calmly said. “Is it bad or something?”

“N-No! It’s nothing, uh, bad! Just give me it back!” Kaido begged this time around, his hands trying desperately to grab it from you. Okay, maybe you were being a little mean at this point, but it was kinda fun to tease him.

You began to back up as Kaido trying to nab the book in your hand. “Just explain it!”

“No! Never!” He shouted.

You couldn’t help but laugh a little, though, that was your fatal mistake. Having yourself distracted by your own humor, your mind didn’t take into account the pile of prep books scattered about until it was too late. You quickly lost your voice, as well as your balance before slamming your head hard against the wood floors.

“Woah! You guys okay?” Nendou asked out of genuine concern.

As much as you would have liked to answer him, you were too concerned with the pain pounding into your skull like a jackhammer. Seriously, this is gonna give you one massive headache.

You scrunched your nose as your finally gave effort to open your eyes, though, they permanently remained open when you noticed a face staring down at you, a body on top of yours. You guessed that during the fall Kaido tried to save you, but only got dragged along instead.

“H-Hey, um, are you okay?” He asked under his shaky breath.

You only nodded before trying to avoid his gaze in any possible way. The position you were in didn’t help whatsoever in that department. Instead, you hoped that Kaido would take the hint and get off. That plan wasn’t looking too good cause all that was running through his mind was how you looked under him. Let’s say, the thoughts he had left a distaste in Saiki’s mouth.

Originally, he was just gonna let you handle it, but after hearing Kaido’s perverted thoughts about you, that plan blew up.

Saiki stood up, leaving his coffee jelly half eaten before grabbing Kaido by the back of his shirt and yanking him off of you. Saiki gave some strength into that but not enough to launch him into the bookshelf like he wanted too. He knelt down to come to your level and help you up, your massive headache being noticeable when you held onto the back of your head.

“Damnit, that really hurt,” you muttered to yourself but Saiki heard it clear as day.

It wasn’t long after that he took you home as well as the left over coffee jelly. Saiki advised you to stay home a day just to let the pain die down a bit before going back to school, so, the pink haired boy was all alone today. And all alone to everyone else meant to bother him more than usual.

Teruhashi, Nendou, Hairo. All of them. Though, it was a bit weird that Kaido wasn’t bothering with him today. Not that he was complaining, but he couldn’t pinpoint the answer until he heard Kaido’s thoughts, ‘I need to ask Saiki for permission. They’re best friends, it would be rude if I didn’t ask permission to ask out [Name].’

Never mind. He didn’t need to know that.

It was around lunch time that Kaido walked up to Saiki for the first one, the blush that littered his cheeks made Saiki want to gag for a moment.

“So, uh, Saiki, I have to ask you something.” Kaido uttered out lowly. Clearly, this was nerve wracking for him.

“What is it?” Saiki asked telepathically.

“Well, it’s about [Name], yanno, our [Name]?”

‘What other person has that name?’ Saiki thought. ‘And don’t say our, it’s creepy.’

“You see, I, well, I think I like him and I’d like your blessing to ask him out!” Kaido shouted, his body bowing at an almost 90 degree angle.

Normally, Saiki would just say to do whatever since he could read [Name]’s thoughts and see that he doesn’t like Kaido in that way. However, the one person in the world that Saiki actually wants is immune to his powers. He knew he needed to shut this down fast.

‘No way.’ Saiki responded.

“Thank you so much, Saiki, you won’t—wait—why not?” Kaido asked aloud, his voice getting higher the more he freaked out. He thought this would be easy, he means, it was Saiki. The most chill guy ever actually gave him a hard ‘no’ to asking out his best friend. Kaido shouldn’t be surprised, even though he is.

‘Because I said so,’ Saiki strictly put. He knew it was wrong to say this, who was he to say no to something that isn’t his business. Though, the feeling of relief that he still had a chance was more satisfying in the end.

By the time Saiki got to your house it was basically as soon as school ended. He used teleportation to get here as fast as he could, as well as just appear in your room. He wasn’t expecting you to still be asleep, though, he supposed this wasn’t too bad.

The pink haired male carefully walking up to the bedside of his best friend. It was odd to see your hair going in one direction instead of all over the place like normal, and don’t even get him started on the soft snores that came from your nose. Snoring isn’t usually the most attractive thing in the world, but this light snores from you made him think of the habit as cute.

Now, he would normally wake you up. But, just allowing himself to look at you for a moment longer without any consequences never hurt anybody. Saiki sat himself down on your floor, his eyes keeping to your closed ones as they slowly began to travel down to your lips. He doesn’t know what came over him, but it seriously began to freak him out when he started think about Kaido touching his lips with yours. After the freak out, jealousy was spiraling around in the psychic. He never knew that Kaido, of all people, would actually develop romantic feelings for you. If he did, he would have never allowed the both of you to interact the way you did at his house the other day.

Saiki let out a sigh before standing up once more, his hand came up to your shoulder slowly and began to shake it. It wasn’t long after that your eyes fluttered open and gave him that soft smile that caused his heart to skip a beat.

6. School Trip

The school trip was always the most looked forward to activity in high school. This year it was a three day trip to Okinawa. While you were excited to spend some time at a gorgeous place like Okinawa, Saiki was definitely less excited.

As kids talked with their friends in a group or just at their desks, you were currently sitting on top of Saiki’s desk with the pink haired boy sitting in the chair. This wasn’t something you always do, especially since at times Saiki has pushed you off out of retaliation, but after a moment or two of still being there, you knew he didn’t mind today.

“You excited?” You asked him.

“No. I don’t get the appeal.” He spit out, his eyes closing as he moved his head down. “I could get to Okinawa in three minutes.”

“Kusuo, not everyone is like you.” You explained. “So don’t go getting moody on this trip, I’m not letting you ruin it for me.”

“I won’t, I’m just saying a fact.” He replied.

You were about to continue with things you’re excited to do during the trip before Hairo came around to the both of you with a clip board in hand. He was responsible for dividing rooms.

“Saiki, [Name], did you guys decide on your group for the class trip?” He asked politely. “You should have three boys and three girls in your group.”

Saiki didn’t say anything, instead he just rested his head against your forearm. Perhaps he wanted Hairo to think he fell asleep and leave it to you, or maybe he was actually saying that he didn’t care as long as he was with you. Either way, you smiled at the contact and said to Hairo, “Kusuo and I will be rooming, it doesn’t matter who else is in our group.”

“Okay, great!” Hairo exclaimed as he wrote it down. “Kaido and Nendou are still available so I’ll just place Kaido with your group, and then randomly place you guys with a girls group.”

“Thanks, Hairo,” you hummed out as he walked away to probably inform Kaido about the rooming.

You never minded contact with Saiki, in fact, you sort of enjoyed it. However, seeing him still like this, even with Hario now gone, you worried.

“Hey, Kusuo,” you called out.

No answer.

“Kusuo?” You asked this time. And when he didn’t answer again you unconsciously moved your hand up to his head and moved it back to where you could look him in the eyes. Saiki’s face was still without expression, though, those eyes worried you. He seemed, almost, upset.

“Kusuo?” You asked. “What’s wrong?”

He shook his head, signaling that nothing was wrong. You knew he was lying.

You tilted your head, some of your hair moving with gravity to expose part of your forehead. “Why are you lying to me?”

“I’m not.” He said, his voice was steady and yet, that look in his eyes still bothered you.

You knew he wasn’t going to budge but still, just because you’re going to let it go now doesn’t mean that you weren’t about to keep an eye on him.

Throughout the beginning and the first day of the trip, you kept an eye on Saiki. He seemed way more tired than usual, but that didn’t startle you. Instead, it was how he was by your side more often now when Kaido was around. You weren’t an idiot, it was pretty obvious. You didn’t mind Saiki’s attention, but you didn’t want him to think just because you were friends with Kaido that he’d be put second.

“Kusuo, can we talk?” You asked him as the two of you had the room to yourselves. The others were out and about, but the two of you decided on an early night.

“About what?” He asked as he set up his sleeping area.

“Today.” You started out. “You’ve been acting weird around Kaido. Did something happen?”

You watched Saiki carefully, so carefully that you noticed his fingers lightly curl around the blanket. You didn’t want to push him, so instead of pushing him to speak, you allowed yourself to be silent and let him take his time. You don’t remember how many minutes pasted, but you swear it felt like decades.

“Nothing happened.” He informed you. “His thoughts just aren’t for my taste at the moment.”

“His thoughts?” You questioned as you slowly approached Saiki on his blanket until you were right in front of him. “Okay, then, what’s got you all bothered? Let me guess, he’s thinking dirty things, right?”

“Sort of.” He replied.

“I bet it’s about Teruhashi,” you theorized. “Is that why you don’t like it?”

“No, it’s not about Teruhashi.”

“Really? Then who?”

Saiki went quiet once more.

You sighed. Your head moving down to get a glimpse at his face. It wasn’t until you moved your hand over by his, your finger tips brushing with his accidentally to get more stability as you leaned in did you hear him finally confess.

“It was about you.”

To say that you needed a minute to take that in was an understatement. Kaido was a good guy and all, but it was kinda startling to realize he liked guys, as well as girls, since you didn’t suspect that even for a minute with him.

“Seriously?” You asked once more.

Saiki nodded. “He asked me if he could ask you out.”

“And what did you say?”

“No.”

You couldn’t help a smile crawl upon your face with that one. You knew it was a bit hard to read Saiki, especially when it came to you, but you were just beyond happy to hear that.

“Good,” you suddenly shot out. Saiki’s head moving back up in an instant to see your happy features. “I don’t like Kaido like that anyway, saves me from breaking his heart.”

“You don’t?”

“Nope.” You hummed out. You knew this may backfire on you in more ways than one, but right now, you didn’t care. The happiness you felt told you to take a chance and throw out the bait. “I know you can’t read my mind, but I actually do have someone I like.”

Saiki aimlessly stared at you for a moment and took in the words you confessed to him. It was an odd feeling, the rapid beating of his heart, but perhaps this was finally the start of things going his way for once.

On the second day of the trip, everyone went to Emerald Beach. It was one of the many places were people could stare at others and no one would think anything of it. A perverts dream. Though, for Saiki, he just wanted to hang out with you.

“Where’s [Name]?” Kaido asked Nendou as Saiki stood behind the two.

“He said he had to go buy a swimsuit. The one he brought apparently went missing.” Nendou told the blue haired boy.

Now, that want a mistake. Sure, it may have been a dirty trick but Saiki rather die than see you in the swimsuit you brought. After all, you bought a shirt with it. He knew you didn’t take off your shirt often, even at the beach, but he was determined to see you with just a pair of shorts.

Much like how all the guys that crowded around the girls changing house waited patiently to see Teruhashi in a two piece swim suit.

It was a while after Teruhashi came out, and when everyone was in the water that you made your appearance. You had your hands wedged into your swim shirt pockets as you allowed your feet to take in the hot sand that felt magical between your toes. You gazed around for a moment before noticing pink hair sitting under an umbrella.

A devilish smirk crawled on your features as you began to slowly approach the male. This may give Saiki a heart attack, but it was worth it. As you stood over him from behind, you attacked. Your body shot down as your arms wrapped aruund his neck and pushed your chest into his bare back.

“Hey, what’s a cute guy like you doing all alone at a place like this?” You teased, allowing your voice to go on for some time so that he realized it was just you.

Saiki immediately flinched at the contact before noticing it was just you. However, when he noticed the touch of your skin against his, he could feel his entire body heat up. The sensation was new, he’s felt his face go hot before, but his entire body was a new one.

“What took you so long?” Saiki tried to play off.

You just sighed and got a tighter grip on the male, your chest pushing more into his back. “Someone stole my swimsuit. Sadly, I didn’t have enough money to replace the whole thing, so I had to go by some swim shorts.”

“Hm, as least you’re here.” Saiki stated, making sure not to comment on the ‘stolen swimsuit’.

“Yeah,” you uttered as you released Saiki from your grasp and sat down next to him. You gazed out at the beautiful ocean that was filled with laughing people with this loving look in your eyes, all the while not realizing Saiki’s held that same gaze as he stared at you.

When you did turn to him, he completely lost himself in his mind as his eyes wondered about your figure. You weren’t the most fit guy in the world, but you did have these subtle yet enchanting muscle lines along your upper body that made Saiki lose himself.

“I saw that.” You suddenly said. Saiki’s eyes now darting back to yours. “You just checked me out.”

Saiki saw no way out of this one. So, he just confessed it. “So what if I was?”

In all honesty, he just expected you to laugh and tell him that it’s only fair if he does the same. However, the twist was unexpected and, well, definitely appreciated. He watched as you gazed down, this bashful look in your eyes as you did everything to avoid his gaze. Your body language wasn’t helping either. Your fingers were tapping against the towel and the heel of your foot was moving back and forth.

Maybe this trip wasn’t totally for nothing.

7. All That Was A Secret

Spring break. It was one of those weeks that Saiki went to go visit his grandparents all the way in the middle fo nowhere. So, for the most of this break, you were home alone. 

It was kind of boring. This break was definitely not one that you looked forward to, more now then before, especially after the beach during the class trip. Those words always ended up repeating in your mind, way too much then you thought they would. Then again, you shouldn’t be surprised. All those days that you’d try to subtly touch him, tease him, it was just a way to relieve yourself of the pent up emotions you’ve had for him for a few years now. 

Currently, you were in your room upon your bed, hugging one of your pillows close to your chest. You never tried to dwell on if Saiki felt the same or not, but recently, it’s been clawing at you more and more. It wasn’t like you didn’t think you had a chance, but more if Saiki was more comfortable just staying friends. You would understand, even if it would hurt, you’d do it for him. You’d do anything for that guy. 

You sighed before slowly lifting your body off the bed. Today wasn’t a good day for being sad, it was summer break, after all. You knew you had to get your mind off Saiki, and him being away made it a bit easier. So, you grabbed some clothes from your closet and laid them on the bed. You weren’t sure what you were going to do, but you were determined to fine something to take your mind off him. 

You let your pants drop to the ground before taking the ones on your bed and letting your legs slip through each of the pant legs. Next, you stripped your shirt off and took in a deep breath. You paused for a moment before dropping the dirty shirt on the ground and grabbing the new one. In all honestly, you never really pay attention to your surroundings when changing. But, does anyone? It wasn’t until your head went through the hole on the top of the shirt did you realize that the bed in front of you was now missing and the wall you were staring at was not the wall of your bed room. When you turned your head, you locked eyes with Saiki in an unfamiliar room. 

“Huh?” You uttered under your breath before your eyes widened, your face felling hotter than usual before frantically pulling your shirt all the way down. Once down, you opened your mouth and said, “You can’t do that without me knowing! What if I was in the middle of a shower or something and not just changing?”

“I would have given you some of my clothes.” He replied nonchalantly.

You bit the inside of your cheek before crossing your arms over your chest. “Why did you teleport me anyway?”

“I can’t stand it here.” Saiki confessed. Of course, you knew he didn’t exactly enjoying visiting his grandparents but he has never done this before. “Just hang out with me. I’ll send you back after.”

You sighed. You can’t exactly say no after that, so, with that Saiki and you began to watch a movie. It wasn’t one you two watched before so it was easy to get lost in it. Though, it was also easy to focus on Saiki when he suddenly placed his hand on top of yours as you guys watched. You weren’t too sure if he thought you wouldn’t notice, but there was no way you were going to pull away. After all, it’s not like he placed his fingers between yours, if he did that, you don’t know if you could handle it. 

After a half an hour into the movie you finally got the plot of it, and you weren’t amused at all. It was a best friends to lovers troupe. More specifically, childhood friends that drifted apart only to be brought back together by work and now slowly are developing feelings for one another. Let’s just say now, you were a little more than nervous. 

Thank god Saiki couldn’t read your mind, because now, you feel like you’d give him a headache. You couldn’t help but ask yourself if he knows and is only doing this to taunt you, or maybe this was all just a big coincident. Yeah, one massive coincident. In reality though, Saiki was just teasing you. He had no idea of your feelings but he wanted to watch the movie with you to implant the idea in his mind of the possibility.

Well, his plan was working. Maybe a little too much. Though, as you were about to spit something out, your eyes suddenly shot down to the floor in embarrassment. Yep, a make out scene. Of course, Saiki had no idea about that, but it was better than just the sappy stuff cause now it was really ingrained in your head. 

Once it was over and you had somewhat of your cool back you couldn’t help it. You needed to ask. If it blew up in flames, then so be it. 

“Hey, Saiki,” you uttered out lowly. Saiki caught it immediately and turned his gaze on you. “I have a.. question.”

“What?” He asked.

“Well,” your voice trailed off as you moved your eyes down to where both of your hands connected. “We’ve been best friends for a long time now but, have you ever, um, thought about doing...that?

Saiki remained quiet for a moment, his thoughts going everywhere before thinking to himself, ‘All the time, actually.’

As much as he wish he could have said that telepathically, he could never try to say that vocally. So, he just opted for a nod and watched your body flinch. The hand he touched growing warm.

“You’re hot.” Saiki suddenly spit out. This time, you brought your hand back to your body so he couldn’t tell anymore. 

“S-So what?” You stuttered out.

To say that Saiki didn’t like this side of you was an understatement. He’s never never seen you so flustered before, and it was really adorable to look at.

“It’s cute.” Saiki commented, his body leaning in just to see your face closer.

You turned your head to the side, eyes darting to the tv just to look away for a moment to compose yourself. You knew that there wasn’t gonna be another perfect moment like this so, you slowly reached over to place your hand on the back of Saiki’s neck. It was warm. When he noticed what you wanted as you started to lean back and gently pull him with you, he complied quickly until he gazed at you from above. Suddenly, he was jealous at the fact that Kaido got to see this view before him. 

He stared at you for a moment before watching you bite down on your bottom lip, his mind doing backflips at the want to read your mind, but also at how good you looked under him. 

“Kiss me.” You whispered under your breath, just loud enough for him to hear. 

“If I do,” Saiki uttered lowly. “I might not be able to stop.”

“That’s okay.”
