───── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ─────
It was Saturday night. The TV was on in your living room. A rom-com movie was playing on the screen. What was the title, he wasn’t sure. But it was quite entertaining. He had underestimated your choice of movie at first, but you had begged him so nicely with those puppy eyes that always made him weak in the knees. Who could blame him for giving in to his best friend’s request?
So here you two were. Relaxing on the couch while watching a movie. There were a bunch of snacks on the coffee table in front of you. You were sitting side by side, both your feet resting on top of the coffee table without a single care with just the right amount of distance separating the two of you. Just a perfect Saturday night.
Jeonghan stretched his arm to reach for a bag of gummy bears on the table, only to find none of it.
“What the— Hey, did you finish all the gummy bears?” He asked you who were sitting beside him on the couch but his question was responded by silence.
He sighed and shook his head slightly. He turned his gaze to you only to notice that your eyes were focused on the TV screen. Instead of calling you out for finishing the gummy bears, he looked at your features in silence. A small smile appeared on his lips unintentionally. He noticed your hair had gotten longer. It almost reached your shoulders.
He remembered the time when you had cut your hair short. Like short, short. Masculine type of short hair. You’d been so excited to show him. He couldn’t, wouldn’t ever forget the happiness in your eyes when you facetimed him to proudly show him your brand new look. And it really surprised him with how beautiful you looked with that hair. Your excitement and confidence really added into it. He was happy to witness you being brave enough to look different, to look bold, to express yourself just like you had wanted to.
He snapped back to reality when you squealed like a schoolgirl.
“Han, they’re gonna kiss. They’re gonna kiss!” You said in excitement.
Jeonghan furrowed his eyebrows slightly. “What?”
“They’re gonna freaking kiss! You heard me.” You repeated yourself without turning your gaze in the slightest bit.
“How do you know?”
“How could I not? I’ve watched this befo— AAHH! They kiss! See?” You turned your head to him with the biggest smile on your face.
Jeonghan had to fight the urge to say “so fucking adorable” out loud at the sight of his best friend’s smiley face. Instead, he decided to ask you, “You’ve watched this movie before?”
You simply nodded.
“And you’re watching it again?”
You nodded your head again.
He sighed. “Why?”
You jerked your head back in confusion. “What do you mean 'why?'”
“You’ve watched this movie before. Why are you watching it again? What’s the point of watching the same movie twice?”
You rolled your eyes at his question. To you, it sounded so dumb. “Han, have you watched this movie before?”
Jeonghan shook his head.
“That’s why I chose this movie for our movie night. This movie is so good I couldn’t help but share the experience of watching this masterpiece with you. You should’ve thanked me, you know?”
Jeonghan chuckled a little. You really knew how to respond to literally anything. But he really needed to know why you were willing to watch the same movie more than once, so he questioned you again, “Yeah, but why are you willing to watch it again?”
You narrowed your eyes at him. “Oh boy. Just be quiet, yeah? You’ve watched ‘The Glory’ more than once as well, remember? And it’s a series. A goddamn series!” You laughed sarcastically.
He laughed as well. You got a point. He remembered when he had finished watching ‘The Glory’ for the first time and he couldn’t help but watch the said series again for the second time the very next day.
“You’re silent now, huh?” Your lips formed into a smirk.
“Shut up.” He brushed you off. The trace of his smile was still visible on his lips.
“Anyway, (Y/N), since you were very focused on two people kissing on the screen, let me ask you again. Did you finish all the gummy bears?” He raised his eyebrow.
“That
 I did, yeah.” You admitted that it made Jeonghan groan.
“Well, you know what, I think I still have some in the cabinet. I’ll grab ‘em for you.” You quickly added when Jeonghan started to groan. He really did want some gummy bears, it seemed.
A smile quickly appeared on his face. “Wait, really? Don’t worry about it. I’ll do it myself. You keep going with your ‘Lovely Rosie.’” Jeonghan got up from the couch and made his way to your kitchen.
“It’s 'Love, Rosie' you jerk!” You yelled from the living room that made him laugh.
Jeonghan opened one of the hanging cabinets’ doors where you usually kept your snacks. He didn’t have to guess which one because he had been in your place many, many times.
Ever since you had started being best friends, which was roughly six years ago, you had this one night in a week, usually on Saturday night, where you just chilled and watched movies together. Of course it didn’t happen literally once in a week because, as responsible adults, you two sometimes were busy with something. But still, it was a tradition for you.
Jeonghan finally found two large bags of gummy bears in the cabinet. He smiled brightly as he held them with his right hand. He immediately walked himself back to the living room. He was so ready to plop himself on the couch before he took a quick look at you, who apparently were focused on your phone, rather than the TV screen, with a big smile on your face.
Jeonghan furrowed his brows. ‘Why is she ignoring the movie without even pausing it and why is she smiling so damn big now while staring at her phone?’ He wondered inwardly.
He slowly sat himself down on the couch. His best friend’s attention was still on her phone. He noticed your fingers typing something, seemingly.
He waited for a few seconds (which felt like hours) for you to turn your attention to him. Or the TV screen. Or the freaking gummy bears in his hand. Anything but your phone. He got a bad, bad feeling.
His curiosity piqued. He couldn’t help but ask you about it. “You’re texting someone?”
“Yup.” You answered with just one word. But this one word was enough to make Jeonghan’s heart sting a little.
“Oh.” That was all he said. He didn’t want to seem nosy so he didn’t push you to tell him who you were  texting. But not gonna lie, there was a slight pang of hurt in his chest. ‘Who are you texting? Why are you smiling so bright right now?’ He questioned again.
He tried to ease his own worry by forcing himself to think positively. ‘That could be her mom. But who on earth texts their mom with a smile like that??’ The attempt to clear the fog on his brain failed miserably.
“Who?” The word just slipped out of his mouth because apparently he ran out of his self control.
You didn’t answer him immediately and that almost drove him insane.
After a few seconds of you smiling and typing and him resisting the urge to just snatch your phone himself (which again, felt like fucking hours to him), you put your phone down on the couch beside your thigh.
You looked at him, still with a smile on your face. If it were under different circumstances, he would smile back at you. Why wouldn’t he? Your smile was his favorite thing ever after all.
Instead of smiling like he usually did, he raised his eyebrow as a sign that he was waiting for an explanation.
“Sorry, sorry. What was it again?” you innocently asked him to repeat his question.
Without wasting a millisecond, he uttered what was on his curious mind. “Who were you texting?”
Your facial expression turned shy. Exactly like someone who was thinking of their crush. And the pain in his chest increased.
“It’s just
 someone.”
“Someone who?” He responded quickly. Demanding for a real and clear answer.
“Was it a guy?” He hoped you couldn’t notice the jealousy in his tone.
And what he hoped for was exactly what happened, but at what cost? You were completely oblivious of his jealousy. A shy smile made an appearance on your pretty face and it was enough to confirm Jeonghan’s bad feeling.
You took a deep breath before answering him. “So, his name is Minghao
”
Jeonghan swore he could feel his heart stop for a second. You mentioning the guy’s name that you had been texting with felt like a stab to his heart. No, that can’t be. He refused to believe it. He really wanted to pull his own hair in frustration but he chose to stay silent as you continued talking about this Minghao guy.
“He’s a barista in Franky n Co, the coffee shop I work in.” Your face got slightly red as you were talking about Minghao to your best friend.
Jeonghan was using all his power to keep a straight face. He even tried to smile a little as a way to make you believe that he wasn’t jealous at all. “Are you guys dating or something?”
Your eyes widened in surprise. “N-no. We’re not dating. At least not yet, I hope.” A shy smile appeared again on your face at the end of your sentence.
“So
 you like him?”
“Well, yeah. Let’s just say that me and Minghao are in a
 what’s it called? Talking stage? Yeah. We’re currently in a talking stage.” You smiled widely as you explained to him what this Minghao guy was to you and it made his blood fucking boiling.
“So he likes you too?” The smile on his face right now was the fakest smile in the whole damn universe. In his mind, he was clenching his fists very tightly to the point that his fingernails hurt the palm of his hands.
Your smile faltered as you were reminded of the uncertainty of Minghao’s feelings for you. “Uh, I’m not sure. I mean, we’ve gone on two dates and they went pretty well. But he hasn’t told me whether he likes me or not and vice versa.”
When he felt his heart was stabbed earlier, this time it felt like the knife had been twisted and made the pain tenfold. ‘Dates. They had gone on two dates. Two fucking dates.’ Jeonghan was on the brink of insanity.
“You two have gone on dates? Tell me about it.” He was scared for a second that you would catch up on the sarcasm that lingered on his words.
You didn’t, though. Jeonghan didn’t know he should be grateful or hateful at your unawareness. Your eyes got excited as you were going to tell him about your dates with Minghao.
“First, it was a movie date. We went to the cinema after we finished our shift. And the second one was three days ago. It was an ice cream date..? I mean, we just went to an ice cream shop after work and we talked about several topics while eating ice cream. And he held my hand all the way home.”
Your voice was so dreamy. It sounded so sweet. If only you were talking about him in that manner rather than Minghao. He didn’t need to hear all those details. He wanted to throw up. He felt sick to his stomach. ‘That coffee maker even had a chance to hold her hand? All the way home??’
Jeonghan didn’t know what this Minghao guy looked like. He didn’t know his personality as well but he really, really wanted to punch him in the face right now.
“That sounds so cute. A movie date and an ice cream date? How adorable.” His words were completely opposite of what was truly on his mind.
“Right! Do you think he likes me back?” you asked him a question that sounds so ridiculous to him. But all he did was shrug his shoulders slightly.
“He could.”
“Yeah? You think so?” you asked him again with eyes full of hope.
‘Hell fucking no.’ That was what he wanted to say. But he wasn’t stupid enough to let that happen. He didn’t want to ruin your mood like that. So he just nodded instead.
Then, the unexpected happened. Something that made Jeonghan’s heart skip a beat. Something that made his jealousy and rage calm down even though only a bit. You squealed and threw yourself at him and wrapped your arms around his shoulders.
The hug was short, he couldn't help but long for it again when you let go.
“Thank you for convincing me that there’s a possibility of Minghao liking me back. You’re the best, Han!”
Then it came back again. The jealousy and anger. Your smallest words and acts could really put him on a wild roller coaster ride.
Jeonghan swore he didn’t mean it. He just lost control over his movement. He couldn’t think straight so he let his heart take the lead this time.
As a response to you thanking him, he rolled his eyes and scoffed.
And when he heard your small gasp, he knew he fucked up.
“What was that for?” you asked in disbelief.
Jeonghan played dumb by asking you back, “What was what for?”
“Why did you roll your eyes and scoff like that, Han?” He could hear the slight sadness in your tone.
Fuck.
Fuck. Fucking hell. Should he say it? There’s no use in hiding it anymore, right?
He was fighting a battle in his own head now. He sat in silence as his brain was working really hard to decide what his response should be.
“Yoon Jeonghan.”
He quickly looked at you when you called him by his full name like that. He couldn’t take it anymore. He wanted to leave your place, got in his car and drove himself to the highway at the speed of a hundred miles an hour while ignoring the red lights.
“What did you even see in him, anyway?” His heart took full control of his mouth now. He really did say the exact thing on his mind without a filter.
“Excuse me?”
Offended. Disbelief. Bewilderment. Confusion. A hint of anger. Jeonghan could see those emotions mixed into one on your face.
“You heard me right.” He didn’t back down. No lame excuses such as “Sorry, I was possessed by an unknown spirit that’s why I was spewing bullshit.” or “Oh, I was just reciting a line from a movie.” Nothing.
“What the fuck?”
He had it coming. He knew you would respond harshly. Those three words were enough to make the pain on his chest more intense. He didn’t say anything in return. He just looked down at the carpet beneath his feet in embarrassment and jealousy. The gummy bears he had taken earlier were long forgotten, just like the movie.
“Han, explain!” you raised your voice just a little at your best friend’s silence.
You snapped. So he did too.
“I don’t like the fact that you like that guy, whatever his name is, okay?”
If he thought that his heart was taking full control of the way he acted and spoke, he was wrong. His head was also taking control. His heart and his head were equally in chaos and clouded by jealousy. So he was sure that the words he just said to you were justified.
And he lied, by the way. He knew exactly the name of that guy.
Meanwhile, you felt like a punch had landed straight on your chest. Your brain couldn’t process the words that came out of Jeonghan’s mouth just now. You didn’t even know how to feel. Of course, you were confused as hell. But other than that, you weren't even sure. Should you feel sad? Angry? What?
“B-but why?”
The way you stuttered was almost enough for his heart to soften and to make him apologize to you immediately. Right, almost. Not entirely, no. Jealousy was still consuming his heart and head.
Jeonghan got a brief and sudden flashback to when his little heart finally had gotten the courage to admit to himself that he indeed had more-than-friends feelings for you.
âœ§àŒâ”‰Ëš*❋ ❋*Ëšâ”‰àŒâœ§
It was roughly one and a half years ago. He still remembered the way he had cursed in the darkness of his room, under the warmth of his blanket. He had been in shambles. His brain had short-circuited. He was confused, sad, even angry at himself. He wanted to be angry at you too for being such an absolute flawless human being and had the audacity to effortlessly play with his heartstrings like that.
The thing is, he had never been friendzoned. Never. But he had enough information about it. A complete glossary from A to Z regarding things that were related to the said situation and none of them had a positive connotation. All thanks to his friends. Joshua drank himself to sleep for two weeks straight and Seungcheol had lost several kilos of body mass because of fucking friendzone.
And most importantly, they vented their sadness and frustration to Jeonghan.
Despite laying on his soft bed with a soft pillow under his head, he felt very uncomfortable. He wanted to rest his mind in a peaceful slumber but he just couldn’t. After a few tossing and turning, he heard his phone vibrate on the nightstand.
With a weak hand, he reached for his device and found out who texted him that late.
It was you.
thank you so much for today hannie!! im no longer sad now. in fact this gotta be the best birthday ever with my best friend ever who gave me the best present ever!! goodnite :D
“Fuck.” He cursed under his breath. Best friend. He groaned onto the pillow as his brain was recalling the recent event that happened earlier that day. Your  twenty-fourth birthday.
As someone who lived far away from family, you didn’t have the privilege to have your birthday celebrated at home with your parents, siblings and pet cat. You also didn’t have that many friends in the city you currently lived in so your birthday was less lively than the ones you had before you moved out.
You weren't exactly sulky or sour but Jeonghan could see right through his best friend. It was your birthday and he wanted you to have the time of your life. Of course he already prepared a gift for you. A Hogwarts themed lego set which you eyed on when you two were window shopping two weeks ago. But he wanted to do more. He wanted to make your  birthday as joyful as the ones you had in your hometown.
So he asked you to go to a beach. It was spontaneous, really. He didn’t plan it beforehand but he knew a small and beautiful beach just thirty minutes drive from the city called Azure Cove.
He remembered the way your whole face lit up when he brought up the idea of going to Azure Cove as a way to celebrate your birthday. He also could never forget the way you glowed when both of you arrived at the said location. That was the happiest of you he had ever witnessed and he felt some kind of pride for being the reason behind it.
As you were enjoying the rich color of sunset on the beach, Jeonghan went back to his car and took out the Lego set he had bought for you.
And it was the moment that made Jeonghan couldn’t fall asleep that night. The way you hugged him so tightly, your eyes slightly glistened with tears and a tender kiss on his cheek. The kiss. The goddamn kiss that made a switch in his brain flip. The kiss that made him realize that he, indeed, had feelings for his best friend for God knows how long.
He looked back at the text you had sent him. The words ‘best friend’ you put right there made him slightly bitter. Well, you weren't wrong, but Jeonghan wasn’t ready for the cursed ending he would receive for being in love with you. A friend-fucking-zone.
âœ§àŒâ”‰Ëš*❋ ❋*Ëšâ”‰àŒâœ§
Back to the current situation.
The flashback got Jeonghan a little bit dizzy. He knew he was going to be friendzoned the moment he’d realized he had feelings for you. But to be honest, he had a sliver of hope that one day, you would see him as more than a friend. People might ask, what made him have such a hope? Jeonghan didn’t know either. A blind optimism? Delusion? Anyway, a hope is a hope.
“I just
 I don’t like the fact that you’re seeing that person, you know? A barista? Come on. You can do better than that.”
Jeonghan knew it was a dick move to say something classist like that. He was an accountant and everyone including him knew he earned way more than that Minghao guy. If Jeonghan was in his right state of mind, he would never say anything like that. But he was too angry, too jealous and even too sad. So, again, for him, it was justified.
You never once thought Jeonghan would say something with a classist undertone like he just did now. Your jaw dropped in surprise. You had no idea what to say. Your brain just stopped working because this whole situation was way too unexpected to happen. “What the hell did you just say?”
He scoffed. Oh, this was so not him. “Someone like you should be with someone who, I don’t know, better than that Minghao dude.”
Enough with the speechlessness. You felt like you were being degraded. Although Jeonghan’s degrading words weren’t really for you, still, it was your taste in men that got targeted. With rage in your voice, you talked back, “Yeah? Like who? And what do you mean by someone like Minghao?”
“Like me!”
Uh oh. That was it. His emotions got the best of him. He uttered those words with a raised voice. He often dreamed about confessing to his best friend about his undying love. But not this way. Never this way. It wasn’t supposed to be like this. He silently cursed his inability to stay calm and keep things cool. He wanted to beat himself up especially after he saw the shocked look on your face.
You were speechless for the nth time tonight and all thanks to Jeonghan. The soft spoken Jeonghan would never attack you multiple times in one go. When you had been angry just a few seconds ago, you were now confused as fuck. You couldn’t wrap your head around the words he just said. What the hell was that? What did he mean by someone like him? Why would he say that?
“Han, a-are you drunk right now? Did you drink something–”
“I’m not fucking drunk, (Y/N)! I’m sober, okay?” Your words were cut short by Jeonghan’s interruption. That irritated him a lot. Assuming him to be drunk? You must be joking.
“Then why did you–”
“Because I have feelings for you, damn it!"
There. The truth was out now in the open. Lingering in the air of the safe haven in the form of your living room, which currently no longer seemed safe for Jeonghan. Despite the voices of the actors conversing in the movie on the TV screen, Jeonghan could hear his heart beat faster than normal. He could also hear the gears in your head work to process the sudden piece of information he had dropped.
Jeonghan didn’t know how long the silence lasted. It felt like an eternity. He currently had two moods now. He either wanted to bury himself deep into the ground or he wanted to burst into tears.
When you finally moved your lips to say something, Jeonghan felt the urge to throw up. He completely had no idea of what was to come. But in a situation like this, he was sure everyone’s brain was programmed to automatically think about the worst case scenario. And what was the worst case scenario in his head now? You rejecting him in cold blood, telling him that you already had your eye on that coffee maker.
“Y-You’re joking, right?” You finally said.
It pissed him off, truly. Was him having feelings for you that shocking to hear? Hadn’t you seen the signs he had tried to show for the past several months? Well, he was completely aware that he had never said it directly that he was in love with you. But hadn’t you realized he had done so many things for you that he would never do to his other friends?
“Of course I’m not. I’m dead serious, (Y/N)!” He said in frustration. Jeonghan was not backing down. The truth was out. Might as well pour his entire heart out to you after holding it in for so long.
You could feel your heart beat so fast. You had never thought that you would be in such a situation. You didn’t know what to say. Your usual talkative self was in a hibernate mode. Your brain stopped working.
“But
 why?” You muttered. You needed more information about whatever the hell was happening now so that you could start to think properly.
Jeonghan, getting even more frustrated now, ran his hands through his hair roughly. Why’d you had to ask him that? Couldn’t you just
 reject him right at that moment so that the storm of hurt would pass quickly?
“Why what, huh? Why what, (Y/N)? Why am I in love with you? Jesus Christ, have you looked at you? You’re literally perfect. You have bewitched me with your perfection and I have been very willing to be bewitched by you. It’s a blessing for me to get to love someone like you. You make me happy. You make me feel things I hadn’t felt for so long. I love you, (Y/N). I love loving you.” Jeonghan confessed it all almost in one breath.
Seeing your best friend ramble about how much he loved you wasn’t on your bingo card. You had asked Jeonghan to give you a reason why he loved you and there you got it. Still, you found this entire situation confusing as hell. You still lost your ability to think. The only thing you felt right now was, somehow, guilt.
“Jeonghan
” you said his name oh-so-gently. “I’m sorry. I didn’t know
”
Your apology somehow sounded way worse than he had imagined. It was worse than being rejected in cold blood. Like, why were you sorry? Jeonghan hated it when people pitied him. Especially you.
He gave you a bitter chuckle. “Of course you didn’t. How could you? I never told you anything about it. Don’t be sorry, please. Nothing to be sorry about. I don’t want you to feel guilty. I don’t want your pity. But damn it. It hurts. It hurts a lot. I love you so much but you don’t love me. Not the way I want to be loved.”
When you didn’t say anything, Jeonghan seized the opportunity to say more. He just wanted to let it all out. Friendship gone, be damned. He had crossed a line that could never be uncrossed anyway.
“You didn’t see it, did you? When I did all those things for you. Things I have never done for my other friends because, well, I don’t really see you as my friend. At least in my imagination.” Jeonghan uttered while looking straight into your orbs.
Then, he averted his gaze downwards towards the beige carpet. “And now you went on dates with this
 Minghao dude who I have no idea about at all. I don’t know what he looks like. He must be drop dead gorgeous, huh? I bet I can never hold a candle to him. What a lucky bastard. He’s able to brag about going on dates with someone like you. I don’t know who this Minghao guy is but I despise him already. I’m so sorry, (Y/N). I know you think I’m going insane right now. Hell, I probably am. I’m sure I look like a madman but I meant what I said, (Y/N). Every single goddamn word. I meant it.”
You could only look at Jeonghan as he crashed out. All the words he said started to get into your head. You allowed yourself to receive those pieces of information, no matter how absurd your mind made them to be.
You also allowed yourself to dive deep into the memories you had shared with Jeonghan. The moments. The events. All those things where Jeonghan’s actions had clearly shown that he cared for you more than you knew. When he had biked to your place during the rain because his car had broken down. You had experienced immense period pain and you hadn’t been able to stand on your own. So, Jeonghan and his bicycle had made their way to your apartment with a heat pack, chocolate bars and your other favorite snacks.
Despite the discomfort of his soaking wet clothes and the freezing temperature, he had given you the biggest smile when you opened the door. You, being an emotional person that you were, had cried on sight.
That was one of the prime examples of how loud his actions spoke. Even louder than words. You cursed yourself inwardly at how dumb, blind and stupid you had been. All along you had wished for Prince Charming to sweep you off your feet someday, not realizing that your very own best friend had done above and beyond for you under your nose. You couldn’t be more blind than this.
“Please, princess, say something.” Jeonghan pleaded in desperation. The silence was killing him in the most torturous way. He had never deemed himself as someone who couldn’t control his emotions especially when he had an audience in front of him but now was a special case. His vision blurred with tears and he didn’t even hide it from you. This was probably the most vulnerable he had ever been. He had bared his heart and soul in front of you, after all.
You inhaled shakily, readying yourself to say something after being quiet for what seemed like ages.
“Y-You’ve done so much for me
” You looked down and whispered. You couldn’t bring yourself to look at your teary-eyed best friend. “...and I was so blind, wasn’t I?”
The hint of self loathe in your voice didn’t escape Jeonghan’s attention. No. No, no, no. Despite his anger and frustration, his heart softened immediately. He could never watch you blame yourself for anything at all. Ever.
“No, please. It’s not your fault. It’s never your fault. It’s me, alright? It’s all me. I’ve had deep, deep feelings for you but I never said a single thing. I-I’m sorry for my outburst earlier. You didn’t deserve it.” Jeonghan swallowed hard. The lump in his throat almost made him unable to speak.
“W-Why? Why didn’t you say anything? I could’ve been more considerate of how I talked about
 things.” Your voice was just above a whisper. Your head was a mess now. You felt guilty and confused at the same time.
Jeonghan wanted to cup your face to comfort you like he had done many times before but he wasn’t sure that you would feel disgusted or not. So, he settled by just grabbing your hand and stroking it with his thumb.
“Hey, it’s alright. Not your fault, okay? And I wouldn’t want you to be considerate of some bullshit and make you stop acting as your usual, comfortable self when you’re around me. I want you to always have your guard completely down when you’re with me.” Jeonghan comforted you while he was supposed to be the one who needed to be comforted.
Your eyes glistened with tears that threatened to fall. “But I hurt you. I’ve hurt you for so long and I didn’t even realize it. I hurt you just now because I selfishly flaunted my dates with Minghao at you like an idiot. I-I should’ve known–”
Jeonghan interrupted you quickly. He couldn’t let you blame yourself any further. He tightened his grip around your hand but it wasn’t too tight to hurt.
“It’s alright. You’re not in the wrong. Yes, I’ve been hurt but that’s just simply inevitable. You didn’t intentionally hurt me.”
Your dam broke. The tears you had tried to hold back were finally free falling now. You leaned closer to Jeonghan, seeking for more comfort and warmth in his arms like you had done a million times before whenever you felt horrible.
Jeonghan’s heart beat a thousand miles per hour. He hadn’t expected you to still want to be this close to him after his confession. Jeonghan pushed all his thoughts away and he wrapped his lean but muscular arms around your body. He stroked the silky strands on the back of your head and let you cry onto his chest. He didn’t mind your tears and snot ruining his shirt. He just wanted to be close to you as much as you wanted to be close to him.
All the overwhelming emotions that you contained were pouring out in the form of your tears. You were sniffling and sobbing on Jeonghan’s shirt, trying to get rid of all the guilt and confusion as Jeonghan kept whispering words of comfort to you.
After you felt like you finally had enough crying, you leaned your head back from Jeonghan’s chest and looked up at him. As beautiful as you were when you cried, the sight was still heartbreaking for Jeonghan because somehow he was the one who caused this. Your eyes were red and puffy and your nose was red as well. Jeonghan slowly reached for your face with his trembling, delicate fingers and started wiping the rest of your tears. You closed your eyes and leaned into his touch which caused his breath to hitch. The gesture was beyond intimate.
“I’m sorry for ruining your shirt.” That was the first thing you said after spending your time crying. A bit unexpected, it made Jeonghan chuckle lightly. “That’s alright. No need to worry. I have laundry detergent and a washing machine that works just fine. But
 how are you feeling now? Better?” He asked while still looking down at you.
You sniffled again, trying to suck in the snot in your nostrils that had been bothering you. “In a way, yeah. But it’s funny, you know? You’re the one who is hurt and I’m the one who hurt you yet here you are, comforting me while I’m weeping like a loser.” A humorless laugh followed your words.
Jeonghan gave you a tender stare. For him, no matter the reason, if he ever saw you cry, the first thing he needed to do was to comfort you. Reciprocated or not, he would always put you first.
“You know that I could never see you cry, right? Never, ever. Well, unless when we’re watching sad movies.” Jeonghan said with a small smile, trying to lighten up the situation a little. You smiled back at him. Despite your puffy eyes, your smile still looked as pretty as ever.
For a moment, you spent your time like that in silence, staring into each other’s face. It was so intimate. Jeonghan was sure that they were actually the only couple of friends who had ever done this. He got lost easily in your beautiful eyes.
Jeonghan decided to break the silence after some time. Maybe it was just his deluded mind taking control but he believed that the ball was in his court now.
“I need to ask you something, okay? If you’re not comfortable answering, you’re free not to. No pressure, alright?” He said softly, trying not to scare you off. You nodded your head, signalling him to ask you what he wanted to ask.
Jeonghan took a deep breath, bracing himself to ask this dangerous question. “Have you ever
 thought about us?” He asked as carefully as possible.
You tilted your head to the side. A gesture you always did whenever you were confused. “Like
 romantically?” Your voice was filled with vulnerability.
Jeonghan was so grateful that you could catch up really quickly so he didn’t need to elaborate. His eyes lit up as he nodded, confirming your question. “Yeah, romantically. Have you ever thought about us in that way?” He tried to be as calm as possible but the surge of hope in his voice betrayed him.
Your face turned a bit sad at the confirmation. You bit your lower lip and chewed on the skin there. You didn’t quite know what to say. Never once in your life you had thought of having to face such a question.
Jeonghan picked up your uncertainty and trepidation immediately. Years of being friends with you had made it easy for him to recognize the slightest change in your facial expression.
He stroked your hair lovingly. “It’s alright. No need to be afraid. I’m a big guy, remember? I can handle rejection.” He put on a brave face and a small smile to convince you that he was fine while he was clearly not. Even though he had told you that it was okay if you didn’t want to answer, not gonna lie, he needed to hear what was in your mind. He knew the rejection would hurt him for years but he would rather have that than being kept in the dark for God knows how long.
He kept stroking your hair, trying to make you as relaxed and safe as possible, to show you that you had no reason to be afraid in front of him and you could always be honest whenever you were around him.
You swallowed the lump in your throat before finally speaking up. “I-I don’t know
 I’ve thought about it a couple of times.” You said weakly, still with a hint of anxiety.
Jeonghan’s heart skipped a few beats after hearing your words. Like, what do you mean you had thought about them romantically a couple of times? What? HUH?
He had to fight the urge to halt any kind of movements that could ruin the moment. He almost curled his fingers into fists but he couldn’t do that, could he? Absolutely not. Unless he wanted to cause you pain by gripping your hair tightly in his fist. Nope. He wouldn’t do that. He would rather be tied down to a train track with a train approaching than hurting you.
Jeonghan had a really hard time finding his own voice. He tried to speak but no words came out. It was too overwhelming for him. He hadn’t expected this to happen. He had expected you to say “why would I think about us that way?” or something along the line. A big, massive, grand rejection. But, no. This wasn’t a rejection, was it? Nothing had prepared him for this.
Before Jeonghan could say a word, you beat him to it. “But every time I thought about it, it always left me feeling afraid.”
Well, that was another blow Jeonghan had never expected. So the idea of you two being romantically involved scared you. Why on earth? He no longer stroked your hair now. His hands were still around your body but he made no movement.
“And why is that, beautiful? What are you so afraid of? Tell me, please. It’s okay.” Jeonghan finally spoke with a strained voice. He desperately needed to know the reason.
You started to tear up again. You looked down to avoid his eyes. You didn’t want him to see you cry again. You sniffled before you tried to explain to him.
“Because, H-Han, I’m scared of losing you. You’re my safe place. My solace. My comfort. I could act like my very own self unapologetically whenever I’m around you. Y-You’re too precious to me. I don’t want to risk losing you.”
Although he didn’t know what that meant, he had one thing on his mind: he needed to put you at ease. He needed you to know that he wasn’t going anywhere at all. So, he pressed a gentle kiss on your forehead. His lips lingered there for a second too long but you didn’t mind it. You breathed shakily as you felt his lips touching your skin. You didn’t pull away a single inch and clutched his shirt in your fists before closing your eyes.
Jeonghan pulled away so that he could look at you. The sight of you having your eyes closed was heartwarming and heart wrenching at the same time.
“Sweetheart
” He called you with a lovely term of endearment and it made you open your eyes. He let his fingers stroke the side of your face with such tenderness. “Why’d you even think that you would lose me? I won’t go anywhere. I promise.”
You shook your head before burying your face onto his shirt. His shirt was still wet because of your tears earlier and you feared that you would ruin it even more now.
Jeonghan tightened his embrace around you.
“I-If we were like that a-and shit didn’t work out
 like any other relationships out there, we would end up as strangers and I don’t want that. I don’t want to live in a world without you in it. I’m scared, Han
” Your voice was muffled and Jeonghan could feel your tears on his chest through the fabric of his shirt. “I’m so scared
” you whispered weakly.
The revelation hit him like a truck. So that was the reason. Jeonghan hated to admit it but you definitely got a point. No couple had eternity guaranteed for them. Many couples broke up. Many married couples got a divorce. It was a flawed world they lived in, after all.
But, still, call him delusional or whatever, he still wanted to taste the sweetness of loving and being loved by you properly. As lovers. He wasn’t ready to give that up yet. Especially knowing that the line had been crossed anyway after he confessed his feelings to you earlier.
Jeonghan loosened his embrace around you a little.
“Sweetheart, look at me, please. I need you to look at me. Can you do that? Please?” He begged with such gentleness.
You sniffled a couple times before detaching your face from his chest and looking up to him. Your eyes and nose were red again but still, you looked like an angel in his eyes.
He wiped the rest of the tears on your face with his fingers. “Thank you so much for telling me about your fears, princess. I know that wasn’t easy. Thank you.” He gave the top of your head a short loving kiss before leaning back to look at you again.
“I understand where you’re coming from, really. You’re precious to me too. I would rather die than lose you. But
 don’t you think it’s worth the risk?”
You opened your mouth to protest but he interrupted you. He hated interrupting you especially in moments like this but he needed you to hear him out first.
“Please, sweetheart, listen to me first, yeah? I know that there are many couples out there that don't get their happy endings. Their relationships lead them to heartbreak. I get it. I understand. But the love that I have for you
 it’s massive, sweetheart. And I’m ready to love you a lot more, if you let me. We could create something so beautiful together, don’t you think?”
His words were true and nothing but the truth. He had so much love to give for you. He was trying so hard not to break down in front of you. Slowly, he took both of your hands in his and brought them to his lips. He pressed gentle kisses on your knuckles, a sign to show you that he meant every word he had said, that he was absolutely devoted to you.
With your hands still in his, he continued. “I would do everything in my power to keep you happy. I would never hurt you, ever. I would never let us fall apart. If you let me, princess. Just say the word and I promise I will prove it to you.”
You felt your heart flutter. You should’ve known that your best friend was capable of loving this immensely. Even without the promise, you should’ve known that Jeonghan would go above and beyond for you. The things he had done for you throughout your precious friendship had proven enough. You just had been too blind and too afraid to acknowledge it all. But still, your fears were still there.
“B-But what if we fought? What if we argued and we broke up? What if I hurt you?” you argued weakly.
Jeonghan chuckled lightly. It seemed like you needed more convincing to finally let go of your fears, to be brave to take a step forward.
“Every couple has their own ups and downs, love. Arguments and fights are inevitable. But we could always communicate. We could always tolerate each other. I’m ready to tolerate all of our differences. And if you hurt me, I’m sure you’re able to apologize and learn from it, aren’t you? Same thing goes for me. Besides, we already have a pretty strong foundation, don’t we? We’ve been friends, well, best friends for six years. The only arguments we’ve made were probably when you insisted on having a night out and I preferred to stay in. Or when I forgot to buy your favorite ice cream that one time.”  Jeonghan stroked your face lovingly with a smile on his face, offering you peace and comfort. “I promise you, there’s nothing we can’t handle.”
And with that, your doubts started to go away. You thought back to the days when you had argued over small things. Nothing intolerable. you couldn’t speak any words against him because he had made a perfect point. Maybe it was time for you to finally be brave and let go of your fears. Maybe it was time for you to completely trust him and create something unimaginably beautiful together. you gave him a vulnerable smile.
Jeonghan’s smile widened. “That’s the beautiful smile that I love so much.”
You could feel your face get warmer. You moved your hands and wrapped your arms around his neck loosely.
“I wanna learn how to love you as much as you love me, Han.”
Jeonghan had never been happier. This was the start of a new story he was about to write together with you.
“And I’ll teach you how. I’ll gladly give you all the time you need. Even if it takes forever.”
He searched for any doubt in your eyes and he found none. So, he softly touched your chin. His thumb was playful enough to trace your bottom lip. “You’re so beautiful, do you know that?” He took his courage to lean his face closer to yours.
Your heart was now beating a hundred miles an hour. Were you really about to kiss your best friend? But the idea of that didn’t sound bad at all. If anything, you were anticipating it.
When you didn’t pull away, Jeonghan inched his face closer. Before his lips landed on yours, he saw you close your eyes. Jeonghan smiled at the sight and he finally got rid of the distance.
Soft was an understatement when he felt your lips against his. He rested his lips there, not moving in the slightest. He was giving you a chance to pull away.
Two seconds had passed and you didn’t show any sign of resistance. So, he saw it as an opportunity to move his lips and you immediately followed his movement. The kiss was hesitant and careful but sweet nonetheless.
Despite the tentativeness, the kiss was better than he had ever imagined before. He had fantasized kissing you on the mouth countless times for years. Never once in his wildest dreams had he ever thought he would get to this very moment.
Because it was your first kiss with each other, Jeonghan didn’t want to cross the line. So, he slowly pulled away. But oh, boy, he needed to think twice about not crossing the line because the sight of you, with your eyes still closed, chasing his lips with your slightly parted ones was more than enough to cause a surge of desire coursing through his veins. He cursed inwardly before crashing his lips on yours again. Self control be damned.
This time, the kiss was more passionate and more urgent. As if Jeonghan was in the middle of a desert and you were an oasis. He moved his lips against yours in a sensual, intimate and lustful dance. It had you surprised for a split second but you were quick to give back the same amount of passion into the kiss.
Sensing that you actually wanted it as much as he did, he tried to deepen the kiss by licking your bottom lip, asking for an entrance. You moaned into the kiss and Jeonghan swallowed your needy sound with greed. He drank up your noises and it caused him to let out a low groan.
You parted your lips slightly, giving him access to explore your mouth. Jeonghan wasted no time sliding his tongue into the velvet walls of your mouth. Their tongues met, tasting and exploring each other. The sweetness of your wet muscles made him dizzy with need. He groaned as he deepened the kiss even more.
His hands were wandering from your waist to your hips. He let his fingers fiddle with the hem of your shirt before he boldly slid them under it, caressing your bare skin. You let out a gasp at the contact and it almost made Jeonghan growl.
He let his hands roam around freely on your torso as his kisses strayed away from your mouth to your chin and down to your neck. You couldn’t do anything besides letting him use your skin as his personal playground.
Jeonghan eventually pushed you gently to lay on the couch as he positioned himself on top of you, between your legs. You were a moaning and whimpering mess under him. Your needy noises made him want you even more. His lips kept exploring your neck, trying to find one spot that would make you go insane.
His lips weren’t the only thing that was working overtime. He also licked and nipped your throat. Enough to make you jolt with pleasure but not enough to leave a mark.
“You taste so good, sweetheart. I can do this all day.” Jeonghan whispered hoarsely against your neck. His breath was warm on your skin. You couldn’t speak properly because your brain had short-circuited the moment your lips had met.
Your fingers started tugging on his locks. The simple act made him moan. The feeling of your hands pulling his hair was making him go crazy.
“Mmh, H-Han
 please– aah!” you arched your back and cried out when he nipped your collarbone.
Bingo. Jeonghan finally found that one spot that made you see stars. He paid extra attention to that one particular area by kissing, licking, nipping and lightly sucking on it.
Jeonghan chuckled at your inability to form a coherent sentence. “You like that, princess?” He gently bit your skin. “Right here, yeah? This one, sweetheart?”
You could only moan and whimper at the sensuality of his words and the way his mouth pleasured you. You weren't thinking when you bucked your hips against his. That was the moment when Jeonghan realized that he was as hard as rock.
He pulled his lips away from your collarbone and looked down on you, making you whine in protest.
“W-Why
 Why’d you stop?” you asked as you were breathing heavily. Your heart was still beating so fast.
Jeonghan was panting as well. He was trying to regulate his breathing. He had to close his eyes because the sight of you so pretty under his body was downright sinful. Slowly, he sat back up on the couch and you followed suit.
“Princess
 let’s stop, yeah? We can’t
 We can’t keep going on. At least not yet. Not right now.” He said once his breath had started to steady.
“H-Huh? Why? Did I do bad–”
Jeonghan quickly shook his head to interrupt you because it was actually the opposite. You were too good and Jeonghan almost couldn’t resist to just take you and claim you.
He cupped your face in his palms, gently stroking your cheeks. “No, sweetheart. Of course not. You did so good. Too good. And that’s the problem.”
You tilted your head slightly to the side. “Why is it a problem?”
Jeonghan chuckled lightly. You were so adorable. “It’s a problem because I want to be a gentleman and take you out on a date first, okay? I don’t want to act purely on my urges like a wild animal. You deserve better than that, love.”
Your face lit up when the word ‘date’ reached your ears. “Yeah? You wanna take me out on a date?”
He nodded his head at your excitement. He wrapped his arms around your body in a loving embrace. “Of course I do, sweetheart. How does tomorrow sound? A nice and warm Sunday would be a good day for us to go on a date, wouldn’t it?”
You snuggled against him. “That would be so good. The sooner the better.” You were smiling from ear to ear.
“The sooner the better, indeed. So, tell me, what do you have in mind? Do you want something fancy or casual as our first date?” He asked as he tucked a strand of your hair behind your ear.
Your lips curled in a cheeky smile. “Don’t you know the answer already? Come on, we’ve been attached to the hip for years now.”
Jeonghan let out a laugh at your teasing. “You cheeky little thing. Alright. Casual, it is. How about
 going to the beach, hm? We could lay on a blanket, under the sun. Maybe we could eat some pizzas as well.”
Your eyes turned starry when he mentioned the beach. That couldn’t be any better. “Which beach, Han?” you knew he would say the correct answer but you asked him anyway.
He smiled at you before bringing your hand to his lips and kissed your knuckles. He looked into your eyes and said, “Azure Cove.”
Your smile widened and you gave his lips a short but sweet kiss. Jeonghan’s heart skipped a couple of beats when you did that. He could never get used to this. Any physical contact with you might cause him a small heart attack.
“You and me at Azure Cove with a box of pizza and a bottle of vodka. Sounds like the perfect first date for me.” You gleamed as you rested your head on his shoulder.
Jeonghan stroked your hair tenderly “It’s a deal, then, yeah? I’ll pick you up tomorrow at ten o’clock. I’ll bring your favorite bottle of vodka with me and we’ll go to Azure Cove.”
“I can’t wait.” You said as you snuggled closer against his body, seeking more warmth.
Both of you spent a few minutes in a comfortable silence with ‘Love, Rosie’ still playing on the TV while cuddling each other on the couch. Then, Jeonghan decided to break the silence.
“You know
 I might have something to ask from you.” He said with a hint of distaste and mischief.
You turned your head to look at his face. “What is it?”
Jeonghan’s lips formed a handsome smirk. “Ditch that Minghao guy.”
You bursted out laughing and it made him laugh as well. “Oh my God, Han, I completely forgot about his existence the moment you said you like me. Trust me, he’s the least of your concern right now. I got my eye on you and only you.”
Jeonghan had never ever been happier.

one.
Working the morning shift usually sucks. Working the morning shift alone usually extra sucks. 
But in this case, morning shifts at Furudate Flowers are actually quite lovely: it’s always calm, domestic, peaceful, still in the way only early mornings can be. For four blissful hours in the morning between 7 AM and 11 AM, it’s just you and the blossoms in bloom—no chaos, no rush, no impatient customers tapping their feet like you’re the only obstacle between them and a groundbreaking love confession. Just the quiet hum of soft jazz playing over the shop’s speakers, the crisp morning air filtering through the half-cracked window, and the comforting scent of earth and petals settling into your skin like a second layer. It’s almost always empty.
Almost.
“Good morning,” Akaashi greets, voice smooth as always, as he steps up to the counter. 
8:30 AM, on the dot. He’s never late, never early. Just always right on time.
“Morning,” you reply cheerfully, setting down the small notepad you had been scribbling new orders in. “What’ll it be today?”
He doesn’t answer, but you don’t need him to: you already know what’s coming. He’s made it a daily routine, as he has for the last month or so, coming in the shop and really taking his time to scan the selection, head tilting slightly as he considers his options. It’s something you’ve come to expect—this quiet deliberation, the way his eyes flick over each flower like he’s searching for something more than just petals and stems. You’re half-starting to think he goes through this whole process just to mess with you.
But, finally, he reaches out and plucks a yellow tulip from its vase, holding it up for you to see.
You raise a brow. “Going for something bright today?”
He hums in response, resting his elbow against the counter as he spins the flower between his limber fingers before calmly asking, “What does it mean?”
“There’s sunshine in your smile,” you respond instantly; you don’t even have to think about it. 
Akaashi blinks. Then—the smallest, softest twitch of his lips. It’s not quite a smile, but it’s something close, something just as pretty.
You don’t get a chance to comment on it, though, because he does what he always does: gently tucks the flower into its brown paper wrapping, smooths out the creases, and, without hesitation, extends it toward you.
“For you.”
Your fingers pause before taking it, eyes flicking up to his face. “Y’know, most people buy flowers for themselves or for other people,” you muse thoughtfully, twirling the tulip by its stem. It’s gorgeous, even as it’s a few days away from full bloom. “You’re the only one who buys them for the florist.”
Akaashi doesn’t falter. He doesn’t even look embarrassed or sheepish, like you might’ve expected someone else to. Instead, he just shrugs—calm, composed, like this is the most natural thing in the world. “You’re the only florist who can tell me what they mean.”
It’s such a simple response. So straightforward. So
 Akaashi. And yet, your heart does something annoying. You promptly tell it to shut up.
Instead, you exhale a small, amused huff, shaking your head as you slide his receipt across the counter. “You’re either a hopeless romantic,” you start, watching as he reaches for his wallet to slide over a five dollar bill. “or a weirdo. I’m still trying to figure out which.”
Akaashi tilts his head, considering. Then, as he tucks his change back into his pocket—just before he turns toward the door—he says, “Maybe both.”
And he heads out, just like that. 
You glance down at the flower, then at the others on the shelf, the budding collection in various stages of bloom. 
You’re not sure what to make of it. It’s not like you mind the attention (he’s kinda cute), but you can’t figure out the angle. Is this some elaborate inside joke you’re not in on? A weirdly prolonged experiment? A test to see how long it takes for you to lose your mind? 
Or is it
 flirting?
The windchimes by the door jingling snaps you from your thoughts. It’s another customer, here to pick up a bouquet, and you’re reminded that you are in fact on the clock and at your job. As attractive as Akaashi is and as sweet as his flower routine is, you have priorities, and right now, it’s on getting that bag.
So you sigh, setting the tulip down carefully before turning back to the register, and decidedly, push him to the back of your mind.
Tumblr media
two.
Akaashi is beginning to think this might be the worst idea he’s ever had.
Or, at the very least, the most pathetic.
This thought occurs to him as he sits at a too-small table outside the university cafĂ©, half listening as Kuroo and Bokuto argue about dinner plans while Tsukishima makes quiet, cutting remarks in between bites of his meal. It’s the usual nonsense: who’s cooking, who refuses to cook, why Kuroo swears that his econ degree is better than business majors but can’t manage to budget their groceries for the week. Akaashi is used to the noise, the way their conversations spiral into oblivion. Normally, he’d step in, smooth things over, steer the conversation back on track.
But today, he’s distracted.
He drums his fingers against the table, thinking about this morning. The flower shop. The way your eyes lit up when you saw the yellow tulip. The soft hmm you made when you twirled it between your fingers. He wonders if you kept it. If it’s sitting in a cup of water somewhere behind the counter. If you even care enough to keep track of the others.
His friends, unfortunately, notice this brooding.
“You’re quiet today,” Tsukishima notes, barely looking up from his book. It’s not an accusation as much as it’s an observation.
Bokuto perks up immediately. “Ohh, you’re right! Akaashi, are you okay?”
“I’m fine.”
“You’re thinking about the florist,” Tsukishima deadpans, spearing a cherry tomato with his fork.
Kuroo’s eyes light up. “Ohhh, that’s what this is about? Your little crush on the flower shop girl?”
Akaashi doesn’t respond. Which, in hindsight, is the worst possible thing he could do, because his silence is basically an admission of guilt.
Kuroo grins. “Damn. So, what’s the update? Have we reached the realization phase yet, or are we still on ‘maybe if I give her flowers for long enough, she’ll develop psychic abilities and confess first’?”
Akaashi frowns. “You know, I don’t actually need your input on this.”
“Sounds like you do. Your method is tragic,” Kuroo snorts.
Akaashi pinches the bridge of his nose, willing himself to be patient. He’s beginning to regret ever telling them about this.
Bokuto pats him on the back, offering brute affection as he always does. “Has she said anything? Did she give you any signs?” 
“I don’t know,” Akaashi sighs, drumming his fingers against the table. 
“You don’t know?” Kuroo echoes, brow furrowing in disbelief. “You’ve been giving her flowers every morning for over a month, and you don’t know?”
Again, Akaashi fails to respond, only offering a half-hearted shrug.
Tsukishima finally looks up from his book, resting his chin on his palm. “So
 your plan is to keep giving her flowers and hope she figures it out?”
Akaashi presses his lips together. “It’s
 a gradual approach.”
“It’s an unclear approach,” Kuroo cuts in with a slight scoff. “You can’t expect her to read between the lines forever.”
“If it were me, and I was getting free flowers every morning with no explanation, I’d just assume you liked messing with me,” Tsukishima supplies unhelpfully. 
Akaashi frowns at that. Because
 is that what you think? That he’s just messing with you? That it’s some elaborate joke? A weird habit?
Bokuto, still ever on his side, shakes his head. “No way. I think she knows it means something.”
“Then why hasn’t she said anything?” Kuroo raises a brow.
“Why hasn’t he said anything?” Tsukishima counters, flipping a page in his book.
Kuroo turns back to Akaashi, clearly delighted by this new angle. “That’s a good point. Why haven’t you said anything?”
Akaashi exhales slowly. He could answer that. He could admit that despite his usual confidence, this whole thing is different—because it’s you. Because he likes the way you talk about flowers like they hold real meaning, because he likes the way your brow furrows in quiet concentration when you’re wrapping bouquets, because he likes—
Well. That’s the problem, isn’t it?
He likes you. He has, for longer than you could know, which makes saying any confession absolutely terrifying.
Kuroo watches his expression shift and leans back, arms crossed. “Okay, look. Hypothetically speaking, if you did confess, what’s the worst that could happen?”
Akaashi doesn’t hesitate. “Rejection.”
“Okay, besides that—”
“Humiliation,” Tsukishima supplies.
“Besides that—”
“The crushing weight of knowing he misread every interaction and made a complete fool of himself in front of the girl he likes?”
Akaashi takes a slow sip of water. “Thank you, Tsukishima.”
Tsukishima shrugs. “Just saying, it’s a risk.”
“But what if,” Bokuto starts, leaning forward, eyes bright, “she does like you back?”
Akaashi pauses.
It’s not like he hasn’t considered it. There have been moments—tiny, almost imperceptible things. The way you smile a little brighter when you greet him. The way your fingers linger when he hands you a flower. The fact that, despite the shop’s wide variety of customers, he’s the only one you tease, the only one who gets a huff of amusement when he asks about each flower’s meaning, just so he gets to hear you talk about it in that sweet, enthusiastic way of yours.
It could mean something. It could also mean absolutely nothing. The uncertainty is paralyzing.
Kuroo, seeing the hesitation in his expression, grins. “Alright, new strategy. Pick a flower that spells it out for her. Something so obvious she has to get it.”
“Something that means ‘I love you’ or something!” Bokuto agrees.
Akaashi glances between them, unimpressed. “You want me to go from subtle daily gifts to I love you overnight?”
“Bold moves, man,” Kuroo says, smirking. “They get results.”
Tsukishima, surprisingly, doesn’t dismiss the idea outright. “You could do something a little more direct,” he muses. “Even something simple. Just make sure there’s no room for misinterpretation.”
Akaashi exhales, tilting his head back against his chair. “You all make this sound so easy.”
“That’s because it is easy,” Kuroo says, stealing a fry off his plate. “You’re the one making it complicated.”
Akaashi doesn’t argue. Because, really, they’re not wrong. He is making this complicated. One flower a day. One careful selection every morning. And yet, if you still don’t know
 well, maybe it is time to change something. 
Across the table, Kuroo and Bokuto are grinning like they’ve already won.
“You’re thinking about it,” Kuroo announces. “I knew we’d get through to him.”
“I believe in you, Keiji,” Bokuto says, clasping a hand on his shoulder. “Make us proud.”
Akaashi just sighs, shaking his head.
But later, as he walks across campus on his way to his next lecture, as he pulls out his phone and scrolls through a list of flower meanings, as his thumb hovers over one in particular. He realizes, reluctantly, annoyingly, begrudgingly, that his idiot roommates might have a point.
Maybe. Just maybe.

three.
Evening shifts at the flower shop are chaos incarnate. 
It’s the kind of chaos that makes you miss your quiet, peaceful mornings. Instead, you’re knee-deep in last-minute Valentine’s panic, dodging frantic couples, watching bouquets disappear faster than you can restock them, and narrowly avoiding an existential crisis over whether red roses are actually romantic or just wildly unoriginal.
At least you have Yachi and Kiyoko, your favorite two co-workers, to suffer with.
“Everyone’s really revved up for Valentine’s,” you say, finally watching the clock tick to 9 PM so you can flip the Come in! sign on the door. “It was actually crazy today.”
“That’s what happens when you work at a flower shop in February,” Kiyoko hums, wiping down the counter with methodical ease. “Not that it’s a bad thing.”
“I almost got trampled when we restocked the red roses,” Yachi mutters, sinking onto a stool near the register. “One guy was so desperate, he tried to haggle. Like we’re some kind of flower black market.”
You snort, rubbing your temples. “Yeah, I had a couple who came in fighting, stopped long enough to pick out a bouquet, and then continued arguing while paying. The romance is thriving.”
Kiyoko shakes her head, but there’s an amused glint in her eyes. “Valentine’s does things to people.”
Probably one of the sole perks of being single: not having to worry about Valentine’s Day and its expectations as encouraged and promoted by capitalism. You even offered to work the day-of, considering that it’ll just be a whole day of fulfilling orders that have already been wrapped and arranged throughout the rest of the week. There’s several bouquets already ready, that just need to be handed over to whatever happy person they’re going to—it’s the kind of thing that, despite your loneliness, makes the day just the slightest bit endearing. 
You sigh, stretching your arms over your head. “At least that’s the last of it for today. I might actually get home before midnight.”
Yachi peeks at the leftover stems and petals scattered across the counter. “You still have to clean up, though.”
“Don’t remind me.”
Kiyoko finishes wiping down the last of the workspace before leaning casually against the counter. “So,” she says, tilting her head and peering at you over the rim of her wireframes. “What flower did Akaashi give you today?”
“A yellow tulip,” you answer, gesturing to where you’ve arranged the collection of flowers he’s gradually gifted you into a small bouquet. It sits in an ornate glass vase on a shelf behind the counter, just slightly out of customer view, but from where your co-workers are standing, they can clearly see the new addition, proudly displayed in the middle of the bouquet like a golden gem.
Yachi, predictably, gasps. “You kept them? I didn’t know that!” She practically launches herself over the counter to get a better look, clutching her hands to her chest; you forgot that it’s been a while since you worked a shift with her, your schedules rarely seeming to overlap. “Oh my god, that’s so romantic.”
You huff, crossing your arms. “I mean
 what else was I supposed to do with them? It felt weird to just toss them out.”
“But you arranged them,” Yachi insists, turning to Kiyoko for backup. “Look at this! She made it into an actual bouquet!”
Kiyoko, ever composed, simply tilts her head in consideration. “It is a little telling.”
“It’s not telling anything,” you argue, leaning against the counter. “It’s just
 I don’t know. He gives me flowers every morning, and it’s a nice routine.”
Yachi wiggles her fingers dramatically. “A romantic routine.”
Kiyoko hums. “It’s certainly an interesting one. And you’re sure he’s just being friendly?”
You hesitate. Because, really—are you?
“I mean
 maybe?” you say, trying not to sound too uncertain. “I don’t know. He’s really calm about it. Never acts embarrassed. Never even hints that it means anything.”
“No way!” Yachi shakes her head, her blonde ponytail swishing. “No way. Guys don’t just casually give a girl a flower every day for a month and not mean something by it.”
Kiyoko nods. “She has a point.”
You groan, rubbing your face. “But what if it isn’t romantic? What if I get my hopes up and it turns out he’s just
 like that?”
Yachi places a gentle hand on your arm, looking dead serious. “If he was just like that, he’d be giving everyone flowers.”
“And yet, you’re the only florist he buys them for,” Kiyoko adds.
That thought makes something flutter in your chest. You shove it down. 
“I don’t know,” you mumble, twirling a stray petal between your fingers. “It just
 it doesn’t feel like a confession. I think you guys are reaching.”
Yachi gasps, scandalized. “Reaching? No, you are in denial.”
“I mean, what if he just likes flowers?” you try, grasping at straws. “Or what if he’s just being nice?”
Kiyoko gives you a look. The kind of look that says she sees right through you and your bullshit.
Yachi, meanwhile, clutches her heart dramatically. “You cannot be serious.”
You huff, shaking your head as you start gathering stray petals into a pile. “Look, I’ll admit it’s kind of cute. He
 is pretty cute.”
Yachi blinks, before she points at you, “Oh my god, you do like him!”
You pause, mouth opening—then closing. Okay. Fine. Maybe you do like him. A little.
He’s attractive. He’s polite. He listens when you talk about flower meanings and never rushes you when you’re busy. There’s something deliberate about the way he does things, something intentional. And that’s what’s so frustrating—because if this is flirting, if this is some kind of long-winded confession, then it’s frustratingly vague.
So you just sigh. “Even if I did like him, it’s not like I’d do anything about it.”
Kiyoko hums. “And what if this is him doing something about it?”
You stare at her.
Yachi nods aggressively. “Exactly! This could totally be him making the first move!”
You hesitate, fingers lingering over the pile of petals. “But then
 why hasn’t he just said something?”
“Maybe he’s nervous. Maybe he doesn’t know how you feel,” Kiyoko offers with a small shrug. 
Yachi grins. “Or maybe he’s just waiting for the perfect time to confess.”
“You’ve been reading too many romance novels.”
Yachi doesn’t even deny it. Instead, she beams, taking your shoulders in her hands and shaking you a bit. “Listen, if he comes in tomorrow, and his flower has a romantic meaning,” she pauses, largely for what seems like dramatic effect. “I win this argument.”
You snort. “Yeah, okay. Sure.”
As if that’s gonna happen.
***
When the bell above the door jingles the next morning, Akaashi steps in like clockwork. He scans the rows of flowers once, twice, before finally, leaning over and picking out a single red camellia. 
I love you.
Your breath hitches.
God, Yachi is going to be insufferable.

four.
The life sciences library is, without a doubt, the best one on campus.
Not just because you’re an assistant there, and not just because it’s the only one on campus with a cafĂ©: because it’s the one in the very center of campus square, making it the best place for people-watching. And right about now, mid-February when the entire campus is blooming with romance, it’s the best time for it.
You come in, dropping off your bag with purpose behind the check-in desk, muttering a small greeting to Makki—he’s sitting behind the computer with a face of purpose, though he’s really just playing 2048 (you’re not sure why he’s pretending to be locked in; it’s not fooling anyone). Mattsun pages through an old encyclopedia someone left on the drop off counter. Somewhere in one of the sections, you spot Iwaizumi shelving books, and Oikawa predictably distracting him from doing so. 
It’s a normal day. Just you and your band of library assistants, who really do everything in their power to avoid responsibility. 
You settle in behind the desk, tapping the keyboard to wake up the circulation computer. There are a few books waiting to be checked in, but nothing urgent, so you take your time, stacking them into neat piles. It’s quiet—save for the faint hum of the cafĂ©, the occasional rustle of pages, and Oikawa’s exaggerated sighs as Iwaizumi pointedly ignores him in favor of shelving books correctly.
Routine. Normal. Everything as it should be.
And then, as you reach into your bag for a pen, your fingers brush against something soft. Something delicate.
You blink, pulling it out.
The red camellia.
The petals are still perfect, even after being tucked between your planner and a stack of readings. You must’ve slipped it into your bag absentmindedly before heading to campus, but now, seeing it again under the library’s cool fluorescents, it catches you off guard.
The meaning lingers. I love you.
You should stop thinking about it.
But it’s hard, especially here, where romance feels unavoidable. From your spot at the front desk, you can see couples huddled over textbooks, murmuring in hushed voices. Someone just dropped off a stack of biology books, a bright pink sticky note still attached to the top one, scribbled with something that looks suspiciously like a love confession. Even Mattsun, who barely looks up from his encyclopedia, lets out a low whistle when he spots a couple sneaking a kiss behind the botany section.
“Valentine’s,” he comments idly. “Can’t escape it.”
You hum noncommittally, fingers still curled around the camellia.
Makki finally pauses his game to glance over. “What’s that?”
You hesitate before answering. “A flower.”
He rolls his eyes. “Yeah, I have eyes. I meant, why do you have it?”
You should brush it off. Say it’s nothing. But the weight of it feels heavier today—the quiet way Akaashi had handed it to you, the way his fingers lingered just a second too long.
“
Someone gave it to me,” you say finally.
Makki and Mattsun exchange a look, and you realize your mistake immediately.
“Akaashi, right?” Makki says, smirking.
You stiffen. “How did you—”
Mattsun grins. “You think we don’t see him in here all the time? Guy spends half his life reading in that corner.” He gestures vaguely toward one of the back tables near the windows. “It’s honestly embarrassing how obvious it is.”
Your face warms. “It’s not—”
“Relax,” Makki interrupts, leaning back in his chair. “It’s kinda cute.” Then he snorts. “Though, if you haven’t figured it out by now, I’m starting to think you’re a lost cause.”
You groan, dropping your forehead onto the desk as he and Mattsun laugh. 
“Do you really think it means something?” you ask quietly after they finally stop making fun of you. 
Mattsun raises a brow, flipping the encyclopedia shut with a thud. “You’re joking, right?”
Makki leans forward, resting his elbows on the desk like he’s about to break the most obvious news in the world. “He’s been giving you flowers for a month.”
You shift uncomfortably, tracing a fingertip along the edge of a petal. “Yeah, but—”
“But what?” Mattsun interrupts. “You think he’s just doing it for fun? Some kind of—what, botanical enrichment project?”
“Oh, I’d love to see that research paper. ‘Floral Gifting and Its Effects on Clueless Library Assistants,’” Makki snickers.
You scowl, but the heat creeping up your neck betrays you. “
It’s not like that.”
Mattsun sighs dramatically, tossing the encyclopedia back onto the counter. “You’re killing me. I mean, if some guy was giving me flowers every day, I’d at least start questioning my life choices.”
“You don’t have any,” Iwaizumi calls from the stacks, not even looking up.
Mattsun gestures vaguely in his direction. “Exactly. And yet, even I know what’s going on here.”
Makki hums, tapping his fingers against the desk. “Listen. I don’t know what’s going on in that overcomplicated brain of yours, but if it were me, I’d start thinking about what I want.”
You hesitate. That’s the problem, isn’t it? You have been thinking about it—more than you’d like to admit. About the way Akaashi looks at you when he hands you a flower, like he’s waiting for something. About how, lately, you’ve started waiting for it too.
Mattsun stands, stretching lazily. “Anyway, I give it two days before he gives up on subtlety and just confesses outright.”
Makki grins. “You’re being generous. I give it one.”
They wander off before you can argue, leaving you alone at the desk, still holding the camellia between your fingers.
You should put it away.
You should really stop thinking about it.
But instead, you turn it over in your hands, feeling the softness of the petals, the steady thump-thump of your heart a little too loud in your ears.
Maybe, just maybe, you’ve been a little slow to catch on.
Tumblr media
five.
Valentine’s Day is always a steady hum of movement.
The real rush had been in the days leading up to it—four days of wrapping, arranging, preparing. Now, on the day itself, there’s nothing left to scramble for. Just bouquets waiting in labeled slots, each one tagged with a name, a time, a destination. Customers filter in throughout the morning, exchanging receipts for flowers, smiling as they walk back out into the crisp February air.
It’s not chaotic, not like the frantic energy of last-minute shoppers earlier in the week. It’s gentle. Purposeful. A day of fulfillment rather than panic.
By midmorning, most of the orders have already been picked up. You stand behind the counter, the lingering scent of roses and eucalyptus settling into your skin, fingers lightly tapping against the register as you watch the occasional customer come and go.
And then, at exactly 8:30 AM, the bell above the door chimes. You don’t have to look up to know who it is, because Akaashi Keiji is nothing if not consistent.
But when you do, you’re taken aback. Today, for the first time in over a month, he hasn’t come in with his hands shoved in his pocket, ready to pick out a flower for you. Matter-of-fact, he’s not even holding a single flower. 
He’s holding a bouquet.
Your breath hitches.
It’s beautiful.
You inhale sharply. Your fingers curl slightly against the edge of the counter.
“Good morning,” Akaashi says, voice as smooth and even as always. But there’s something beneath it this time, something quieter, heavier.
You stare. You don’t mean to, but you do, because he’s standing there with a bouquet in his hands and a look in his eyes that makes your heart feel like it’s folding in on itself.
Finally, after a very long moment, you find your voice. 
“You—you brought flowers,” you say, dumbly.
Akaashi exhales a small, amused breath, tilting his head slightly. “I did.”
“For me?”
A ghost of a smile. “For you.”
Your brain is working slower than usual. Maybe it’s the boredom post-morning, maybe it’s the sheer absurdity of seeing him standing there, framed by the morning light, holding a bouquet like it’s the easiest thing in the world. Like it’s meant to be in his hands.
You glance down at the arrangement again, eyes flickering over the petals, cataloging their meanings instinctively.
Pink peony—Romance, prosperity, a happy life together.
White gardenia—You are lovely.
Baby’s breath—Everlasting love.
Red camellias—I love you.
Your stomach flips.
Akaashi shifts, carefully adjusting the bouquet between his fingers. “I, um.” He pauses, choosing his words cautiously. “I’m not the best at expressing things. Not in the way I should.”
You blink at him.
He doesn’t look nervous, exactly—Akaashi Keiji doesn’t do nervous—but there’s a certain deliberateness to the way he speaks, the way his fingers tighten slightly around the stems, the way his eyes hold yours like he’s making sure you hear him.
“The flowers,” he continues, “have been saying it for me.”
Oh.
Oh.
Your breath catches. The weight of the past weeks—the past month—settles all at once; every morning encounter, every carefully selected flower, every soft, fleeting moment that felt like nothing and everything all at once.
You should’ve known. You should’ve realized sooner.
Akaashi watches you carefully, his expression unreadable, but there’s something expectant about the way he waits. As if he’s prepared for anything—for rejection, for silence, for something in between.
You exhale, a half-disbelieving laugh slipping out before you can stop it. Your fingers finally reach forward, brushing against the edge of the bouquet, skimming over the soft petals. You don’t know what to do with all the warmth curling in your ribs, with the sudden overwhelming feeling of affection, so you simply say, “You could’ve just asked me out, you know.”
The corner of his mouth twitches. “I know.”
“Would’ve saved you a lot of money on flowers.”
“Probably.”
“But you didn’t.”
“I didn’t.”
You shake your head, still absorbing, still processing the fact that this is happening. Akaashi Keiji has been confessing to you for over a month without saying a word.
And yet, now that he’s here, standing in front of you, looking at you like this moment has always belonged to the two of you, you think that you wouldn’t have wanted it any other way.
Slowly, carefully, you take the bouquet from his hands. The weight of it feels right in your grip, like something meant to be held. And then, just as carefully, you turn toward the arrangements behind the counter, fingers brushing over familiar stems until you find what you’re looking for.
A single red chrysanthemum.
Love reciprocated.
You pluck it from its vase, hold it up between you. Akaashi’s eyes flicker down to the flower. You watch as the realization settles, as something in his expression shifts, as the tension in his shoulders melts.
Then, finally, he smiles. Small, barely-there, but real, soft, familiar.
And for the first time, it’s you who hands him the flower, as you murmur back, “It’s for you.”

Things were always just meant to be casual. Sure, it wasn't too casual to fuck on a regular basis or talk to each other the way you do, but you always felt a little bad for keeping him in the friend zone for so long, knowing how he felt about you. You and Johnny had known each other since high school; you've always been best friends.
And to be completely honest, you couldn't help but be completely whipped by him. He bought you gifts nearly every day, whether it was something small or something thoughtful. You'd catch yourself admiring a necklace at the store, and sure enough, the next morning, it would be sitting at your front door with a cute note attached. He was like that with everything: the things you needed, the things you didn't even know you wanted, and especially the things that made you smile.
He wasn't just good at spoiling you with things. He always knew exactly what to say when you were upset, how to touch you in a way that made you feel safe, how to fuck you so good you were seeing stars. Johnny knew you better than anyone else. He knew your body, your moods, your every little habit. He could read you like an open book.
But the lingering fear that if you ever crossed that line and took things further with him, things would go south and you'd lose him as a friend was what always kept you in check. You couldn't bear the thought of losing him, and that fear kept you at arm's length.
But even today— valentines day, a day meant for romance and cheesy gestures, you told yourself things were still supposed to be casual. That’s what you kept telling yourself as stepped out of the shower and got ready for the night ahead.
You couldn’t stop thinking about the flowers he had sent you this morning. The bouquet was massive, the kind that looked like it belonged in a romance movie, wrapped in black satin and tied with a sleek ribbon with a cute card tucked into the petals with a simple message:
“Happy Valentine’s Day, baby. Be ready by 9, dress extra pretty for me. -J <3” 
It had made your stomach flip. You hadn’t been prepared for that— not from him. It wasn’t that Johnny wasn’t sweet, but this felt
 different. Special. His usual kind gestures and love had turned into something else and you weren't sure if you were ready to handle all of that. But as the day had gone on, you couldn’t help but smile every time you thought about it.
Now, standing in front of the mirror, you add the finishing touches to your hair and makeup. He knows how much you hate fancy restaurants and anything overly formal, so you’ve kept your outfit casual yet still put together. A maroon cropped cardigan draped over a delicate white lace-trim cami, paired with the black skirt you know he loves. Every time you wear it around him, you catch his lingering stares and feel the way his touches last just a second too long, like he can’t help himself.
The clock was ticking, and with each passing second, your nerves grew. You thought you had it all figured out. It was supposed to be casual, after all. But you couldn’t ignore the fluttering in your chest as the minutes passed. It felt like tonight was different.
And before you knew it, you were out the door, the cool night air greeting you as you walked toward his car, your heartbeat syncing with the rhythm of your steps.
The air nipped at your skin as you approached Johnny’s car, and your heart skipped a beat as you saw him standing by the passenger door, leaning against the car with a grin that gave you butterflies. His eyes scanned over you in that way he always did when he looked at you, a look of admiration mixed with something else you couldn't quite describe. 
He straightened up when he saw you, his grin widening as he took a few steps closer. You almost missed the way his hand reached out to take yours; the warmth of his touch was enough to melt any hesitation you might’ve had.
“Hey, angel.” He spoke softly, his thumb gently traced the back of your hand as he held your arm up, a small smirk tugging at his lips. “Twirl for me, baby, let me see the full fit.” 
A small laugh bubbled up in your chest, but you couldn’t resist. You spun around once, letting your skirt flare out as you turned. You could hear him take in a sharp breath behind before you faced him again. 
“God, you’re so beautiful, baby,” he murmured, his eyes never once leaving you. His voice was low, almost reverent, as if he couldn’t believe you were real. 
The way he said it made your chest tighten, and a small heat spread through your cheeks. It wasn’t just the usual compliment— there was something more behind it, something deeper, but he didn’t press it. He just smiled, that easy, confident smile that made your heart race.
“Let’s get going, yeah?” Johnny added, keeping his voice light but warm.
You nodded, still feeling the buzz from his words. As he opened the door for you, he moved closer, guiding you toward the seat. His hand briefly brushed against your waist as he helped you into the car, soft and slow, nothing rushed, just enough to send a jolt of warmth through your body. 
Tumblr media
It didn’t take long for the night to escalate after that. His constant lingering touches and sweet words, laced with a quiet intensity, were slowly driving you mad. It started innocent— his hand brushing against your thigh every now and then as he drove, his soft chuckle as he teased you, asking about your day. But it was clear that each moment with him was a little more than you could handle. This wasn’t at all the usual for you two, even though you’re very used to his ‘dates’ there was always the friendly demeanor behind them. This one was all a complete shift in the energy, it made you nervous, like this was an actual real date and not just two friends hanging out and flirting. 
By the time you made it to a quiet spot by the water, the atmosphere had shifted. The air around you crackled, thick with something unspoken, an electric current that you could feel building between you two with every glance, every word. You weren’t even sure how you’d ended up in this position, but you didn’t care.
One minute you were sitting side by side in the backseat, laughing, the next you were straddling his lap. The shift had been so gradual, so natural that you didn’t question it until you felt his hands begin to roam.
His fingers slid under the fabric of your cardigan, the sensation sending a shiver down your spine. You instinctively leaned into him, your body reacting before your mind could catch up. You could feel the heat radiating from his chest, the way his breath hitched slightly as his hands slid around your waist.
You continued talking, but your words felt like an afterthought, drowned out by the racing of your heartbeat. Every now and then, Johnny would murmur something that made you blush, his voice low and teasing as he casually slid his hand under your top, his large hands gliding against the skin of your back.
But it was his eyes that truly did it for you. They were still so sweet, full of admiration and affection, but there was something else there now. A flicker of heat, of raw desire, a hunger that made your pulse spike.
“Johnny, you’re looking at me like you want to eat me.” you spoke with a small chuckle, your voice betraying the nervous flutter in your chest. It was a poor attempt to ease the tension and the heat pooling between your thighs, but it was all you could manage as his gaze burned into you.
Johnny tilted his head slightly, the smirk never leaving his lips. His fingers tightened at your waist, sending a shiver up your spine. “Only if you want me to.”
His voice was low, teasing, it was enough to make your breath hitch. His hands slid down to your thighs, his fingers tracing slow circles into your skin before gripping just a little tighter, pulling you in until there was no space left between you.
The subtle pressure of his touch mixed with the feeling of his painfully hard bulge pressing right against your core made heat pool in your stomach, your breath coming out uneven as you bit your lip to keep yourself together.
Johnnys gaze flickered to your lips, then back up to your eyes, and the grin on his face grew just slightly. He was enjoying this, the way you tensed up under his touch, the way your body was reacting to him before you could even find the words to respond.
“You like that, pretty?” His voice was smooth, almost lazy, but the way his hands slowly slid up to your hips sent another rush of warmth through your body. He gently rocked your hips against his, just enough to let you know what he wanted. What he knew you wanted, too.
“You’re being awfully shy tonight,” he murmured, his eyes searching yours. “Am I making you nervous?”
“Johnny
” You barely breathed out, your fingers gripping at his shoulders as a small, helpless whine slipped past your lips when he pushed you further onto his lap.
You didn’t know what was worse, the way your body was betraying you, or the way he was looking at you like he already knew everything you weren’t saying. Like he was waiting for you to catch up to what he already understood. The tension was driving you insane. It wasn’t just the way he touched you, the way he looked at you like you were the only thing he wanted— it was the aftermath. The way he could act like this, make you feel like this, and then leave both of you tangled in that same unspoken confusion the next day. That lingering feeling that always stayed around for days every single time the two of you had sex. 
Longing. Maybe even love.
You wished, more than anything, that you could push past the fear of relationships, of rejection, of getting hurt. But it clung to you, holding you back, even though you knew deep down that Johnny would never hurt you. He cared about you too much. He always made sure you had everything you needed, always put you first in ways you weren’t sure he even realized.
And it made you feel guilty for pretending your feelings weren’t real. For acting like this didn’t mean something. 
The weight of it all pressed down on you, a storm of conflict and confusion swirling in your head. You let out a quiet whine, your frustration spilling over as you looked down at him, torn between everything you wanted to say and everything you were still too scared to admit.
Johnny’s fingers flexed against your hips, and his smirk softened into a small smile. “I know, baby,” he spoke, his voice quieter now. His hands slid up your back, holding you close. “You don’t have to say it. I already know.”
His words sent a shiver down your spine, and before you could stop yourself, your hands were moving up, fingers curling into the fabric of his shirt like you needed something to hold onto. Like if you let go, you’d fall apart completely.
Johnny chuckled, the sound warm against your skin. “Just let me take care of you, yeah?.” His fingers traced slow patterns along your waist, his touch patient, steady. “It’s a special day today, and you’re my special girl. You deserve it.”
He didn’t wait for another word. The second your head dipped in a nod, his lips were on yours, slow and deliberate, he wanted you to feel everything neither of you could say out loud. His hands slid up your back, fingertips pressing into your skin just enough to make you shiver.
The kiss deepened in an instant, all hesitation melting away as his tongue intertwined with yours, teasing, coaxing, making your breath hitch. His grip on you tightened, your hips instinctively picking back up their pace rolling against his. 
A small whimper slipped from your lips, and Johnny groaned lowly in response. The friction you felt as he slightly thrusted up pressing further against you sent a sharp wave of pleasure through your body, you gasped, breaking the kiss for just a second before he chased your lips again, capturing them in another heated, desperate kiss.
“You feel so good, baby,” he murmured against your lips, his voice hushed but dripping with hunger. “Always so good for me.”
His mouth traveled, trailing slow, open-mouthed kisses along your jaw, down your neck, sucking softly at the spot he knew would make you squirm. 
The heat between you was unbearable now, every touch, every movement sending you spiraling deeper into the feeling. You didn’t care about what would happen tomorrow, about the confusion that always lingered after nights like this. All you cared about was him, his touch, his lips, the way he made you feel like you were the only thing in the world that mattered.
His hands moved with purpose, slipping beneath the hem of your top, his palms searing against your skin as he slowly dragged the fabric upward. There was no hesitation as he pulled your clothes over your head, tossing them somewhere beside the two of you. His eyes darkened at the sight of you, his gaze drinking in every inch of exposed skin.
His hands were back on you in an instant, skimming up your sides, thumbs grazing just under the band of your bra as he leaned in, kissing along your collarbone, down the valley of your chest.
The anticipation was unbearable, your breath coming in short, needy gasps before the fabric slipped away. The cool air made you shiver, but Johnny was quick to warm you up, his mouth finding your skin again. Kissing softly before latching onto one of your nipples, sucking and swirling his tongue around the perky bud, making you moan and pull softly at his hair. 
He hummed, the vibrations against you causing a whimper to leave your lips. He tilted his head back, releasing your breast with a small pop, immediately diving back into your chest to kiss and mark you in places nobody else would see. His hands moved lower, gripping your thighs and pushing them apart, the feeling of his clothed cock flush against where you needed him most was almost too much to handle. 
Johnny groaned, his head dropping to your shoulder as he rocked you against him with more intent. “You feel that, baby?” he rasped, his fingers digging into your skin. “You want me just as bad as I want you, don’t you?”
The way he said it, the way his voice dripped with need, made you dizzy. Your body answered before your words could, your hips grinding down against him, a desperate moan slipping from your lips.
Johnny’s grip tightened, and he exhaled sharply, his restraint hanging by a thread. “Fuck,” he muttered. “Sit up, pretty girl.” 
Without hesitation, you lifted your hips from his, your hands gripping his shoulders tightly as he worked fast to undo his belt and free his aching cock. You watched as it sprung out, a drop of pre-cum already leaking at the tip. 
Johnny worked quickly, sliding your skirt and panties down your legs with practiced ease. Before you could even process the loss of fabric, he was pressing the tip of his cock against your entrance, dragging it along your slit in slow, deliberate strokes that had your breath hitching.
A frustrated whimper slipped past your lips, your hips instinctively trying to push down onto him, but his grip on your waist was firm, keeping you exactly where he wanted you.
His hold on your waist tightened as he continued to tease you, the head of his cock dragging along your slick folds, never quite pushing in. You let out a shaky breath, hands gripping at his shoulders, desperate for more. 
“Johnny, please..” you tried, your voice soft.
He hummed, tilting his head slightly, clearly enjoying the way you squirmed beneath him. “Please what, baby? At least ask properly.”
Your body trembled as he rolled his hips just enough to nudge against your entrance, sending a jolt of pleasure through you. 
You swallowed hard, your pride slipping further with every second of his agonizing teasing. “Please,” you whined, voice breathless and needy. “need you so bad, please fuck me...”
His smirk faltered for just a moment, his restraint nearly snapping at the way you begged for him. Without another word, he finally pushed into you, stretching you open inch by inch. A small gasp left your lips. 
Your fingers dug into his shoulders, nails pressing into the fabric of his shirt as you tried to steady yourself against the overwhelming sensation of him filling you completely.
Johnny groaned low in his throat, his grip on your waist tightening as he forced himself to move at a steady pace, savoring the way your body welcomed him so perfectly. “Fuck, yn,” he murmured, his voice strained. “Always so tight for me.”
Your head tipped back once again, a broken moan slipping past your lips as he bottomed out, his head kissing at your cervix with just the slightest shift of his hips. He gave you a second to adjust, his thumbs stroking slow, soothing circles against your hips, but the way your walls clenched around him made his patience waver.
“You okay, angel?” he asked, his voice softer now, despite the way his restraint was hanging by a thread. 
You nodded quickly, your body already desperate for more. “Mhm, feels so good..”
That was all he needed. With a deep, satisfied hum, he pulled out just enough to thrust back in, slowly, making sure you felt every inch of him. His hands guided your movements as you rocked against him, your moans spilling into the air between you.
“Just like that, baby,” he praised, his lips grazing your jaw before trailing down to your neck. “Taking me so well.” 
Your fingers tangled in his hair, nails grazing his scalp as you let out a breathy moan, overwhelmed by the way he moved— how every roll of his hips sent waves of pleasure crashing over you. He tilted his head up to watch you, eyes dark, completely filled with a mix of love and lust. 
“You feel so good,” he whispered against your skin. His lips trailing lower, pressing open-mouthed kisses down your throat, lingering at your collarbone before nipping lightly, just enough to make you shiver.
A soft whimper slipped past your lips as he slightly picked up his pace. He caught your sound with a kiss, deep and unhurried, like he wanted to drown in the taste of you. His tongue traced along your bottom lip before he pulled away just enough to whisper, “You like that? Want more?”
You could only nod, barely able to form words with the way he was unraveling you so effortlessly. The intensity of his gaze never wavered, watching every little reaction, every shiver, every breathy sound that slipped from your lips.
“Use your words, doll, want to hear you.” 
A shaky inhale filled your lungs before you managed to whisper, “Yes
 more, please.”
His lips curled into a soft smirk, but there was no teasing in his eyes only devotion, only the overwhelming need to give you exactly what you asked for. His movements deepened, his hips snapping into yours with a bit more urgency, dragging out every sensation. A deep groan rumbled in his chest as he buried his face in your neck, his fingers digging into your hips, guiding you to match his rhythm.
Every thrust sent waves of pleasure crashing through you, your body trembling in his arms as your moans grew louder. He was losing himself in you, in the way you felt, the way you sounded— so sweet, so desperate for him.
“Johnny—” His name spilled from your lips like a plea, your fingers gripping onto him like you’d fall apart if you let go.
His hands roamed your body, both hands resting just under your breasts, his thumbs rubbing small circles at your nipples. He kissed you again, much deeper this time, his tongue sliding against yours with a tenderness that had your heart pounding against your ribs. It wasn’t just desire; it was more than that. It was the way he held you like you were something precious, something he never wanted to let go of.
“Fuck,” he muttered against your lips, his voice strained, almost like he was trying to hold back but couldn’t anymore. “You feel so damn good
 can’t help it, baby.”
His grip on you tightened as he thrust into you with more intensity, repeatedly hitting that spot that made your toes curl, but his touch remained gentle, his hands smoothing over your skin, grounding you, making sure you were with him through every moment. The sound of your moans only spurred him on, his breath coming out in ragged exhales as he broke the kiss to bury his face against your neck.
“Taking me so well, angel,” he groaned, his lips brushing against your jaw between each word. “So perfect— so beautiful —just for me.”
Your fingers still tangled in his hair, tugging slightly as another whimper escaped you, and he nearly lost it right then. His hips snapped forward with more force, his control slipping further with every sound you made.
“God, you drive me crazy,” he breathed, pulling back just enough to look at you, his eyes dark, filled with adoration and something raw, something unrestrained. “Need you to know how good you are to me
 how much I love you.” 
You couldn’t even form words in response, your head spinning with the overwhelming sensation of him pounding into you. You clung to him, feeling each thrust of his hips, the way he drove deeper, harder, pushing you toward something higher. Your breath caught in your throat. For a moment, everything seemed to stop. His words hung in the air, but your body was too lost in the bliss he was giving you to process them fully.
You couldn’t focus on anything except the way his hips crashed into yours, the delicious pressure building inside of you, the tenderness in the way his hands touched you, each movement making you feel like you were in pure bliss.
“Just like that,” he whispered, his pace faltering as he grew closer, but still, he stayed gentle with you, his hands caressing your skin, as if he never wanted to let go. 
Your body gave in to the intensity of it all, a rush of heat flooding you as you reached your orgasm. His name left your lips in a breathless string of pleas and moans, but still, he whispered praises against your skin, each word a caress, as if he were reminding you of how much you meant to him. Soon both of you reached your limits, his thrusts nearly stopping and cock twitching as he came. The feeling of his warmth seeping into you mixed with your own arousal soaking his length was enough to make your legs twitch and breath hitch once again.
As the intensity began to fade, the air between you was thick with lingering heat, you both slowed, your breaths coming in shaky, uneven gasps. His forehead rested gently against yours, as he soothingly rubbed your sides. 
He kissed you slowly, deeply, savoring the aftermath, his lips soft against yours as he pulled you closer, like he was trying to keep you attached to him.
But as the world around you slowly started to come back into focus, his words played on a loop in your mind, each one like a soft echo against your chest. As much as you tried to convince yourself it was just the heat of the moment, you couldn’t deny it. You knew he meant it.
And deep down, you realized that you really felt the same way. The realization hit you like a wave, slow and steady but impossible to ignore. For the first time, you were tired of parading around the topic of love when it came to him. It wasn’t just the sex, the intimacy, or the wild rush of everything that had just happened, it was the way he made you feel, the overwhelming warmth in your chest that never went away when he was around.
All you knew for sure, as your heart beat in time with his, was that you weren’t going to shy away from him anymore. You weren’t going to play games, or pretend like there was some distance between you. You wanted him. Not just in the way your body craved him, but in the way your heart had always known he was the one you were meant to be with.
You wanted to be his, as badly as he wanted to be yours.
“
I love you too,” you breathed out, your voice full of the same raw honesty that had been in his. The words felt like a weight lifted from your chest, the last piece of the puzzle locking into place.
His breath hitched, and you felt the shift in him— a gentle smile curving his lips as he looked at you, soft with emotion. “Yeah?” His voice was quiet, as if he was still letting the confession settle between you both.
You smiled back, still clinging to him. “Yeah, Johnny, I love you.”
His lips found yours again in a tender kiss, but this time it was slower, more deliberate, like he was savoring the sweetness of your confession. “Good,” he mumbled against your lips, holding you close, like he’d never let you go.
The world outside may have still been waiting, but in that moment, nothing else mattered but the warmth of his arms and the love you had for each other.
Eventually, everything calmed down. He pulled back just slightly, a lazy smile spreading across his face as his thumb traced gentle circles on your skin. “Now,” he spoke up, his voice soft but playful, “let’s get cleaned up and go get some dinner, yeah?”
You chuckled softly, still a little dazed, but the warmth of his words made your heart swell even more. “Yeah, I think that sounds perfect.”
As you both reluctantly untangled from each other’s arms, you shared one last lingering kiss, both of you smiling into it, feeling the weight of the moment settle between you. 
You were his. And he was yours.

Hi, you‘re one of my favorite people on Tumblr! I have no idea how to fit my thoughts into one message but I‘ll try my best. First of all, I love your art, like the way you draw clones? They‘re just perfect! Also the meme redraws make me laugh a lot of times because memes with clones are just amazing. My personal favorite one is the one you drew for me with Fox drawing 25 and also The WHAT also with Fox. I have a soft spot for that guy. You've also been really nice to me and as an introvert who is often scared to reach out I appreciate that. I hope you don't mind me tagging you in every tag game / challenge I participate in because I'm always curious about your response. To sum this whole message up, thanks for being my mutual.

Avengers' Galentine's Day 💕
"You may be wondering why I've convened you here today."
Natasha looks around the table at the men, hands clasped and back straight. Bruce, Peter, Sam, and Bucky sit around her.
Peter perks up. "I'm just happy to be here, thank you for inviting me Ms. Romanoff!"
"You can call me Natasha. And don't make me regret it," she says pointedly.
Peter nods furiously, leaning in intently as she speaks again.
"Valentine's Day is tomorrow, and to my knowledge all of you are single. And my knowledge is always correct. So, I propose a Galentine's Day."
The men all share awkward looks.
"We're all...dudes."
"Yes, thank you Sam. I wasn't aware." She says sharply before continuing.
"Listen, contrary to popular belief around here, I am a woman. I want to do woman things. But Wanda has a boyfriend, Pepper is working, and Maria is out of the country. So, I'm left with you doofuses."
"Hold on, hold on," Sam puts a hand up, "why wouldn't we think you were a woman? I mean we treat you like a friend and not a sex object. That's not treating you like a man."
Natasha holds up a hand and starts counting on her fingers.
"You two were making fart noises and giggling during breakfast with me sitting right there, and only stopped when Pepper walked in for a bagel," she looks between Sam and Peter.
"You offered me your 3-in-1 when I forgot my toiletries bag on mission," she nods to Bruce.
"And you—" she raises her eyebrows at Bucky, "handed me a cup when I said I needed to pee during that road trip out West."
The men all turn to Bucky.
"Jus' instinct. My bad." he hunches under their scrutiny.
"What kinda road trips you going on man," Sam asks.
"Clearly not the same ones as you."
"CleArLy—"
"Anyways!" Natasha interrupts, "You owe me. And if you say no you're probably sexist. Who's in?"
Peter's hand shoots up enthusiastically, and the others reluctantly follow.
"Great! We need someone on decorations, someone to plan an activity, someone on dinner, I'll prepare the snacks, and then someone on drinks. Alcoholic and non. And yes this all has to be Valentine's theme. So...who knows a good balloon place?"
Sam gets dinner, Bucky drinks, Bruce on the activity, and Peter decorations.
"You're all capable people so do not call me every second asking stupid questions. Figure it out, it better be amazing. Steve and Tony are leaving at 6pm for their date and won't be back till late, so we have the place to ourselves. The dress code is red white and pink, be there or be square."
With that Natasha is up and breezing down the hall.
"Why do I feel guilty and manipulated at the same time. What just happened." Bruce contemplates.
"Spies man," Sam shakes his head.
Peter rolls his eyes, "you guys are so lame. Do you know what this means? Chocolate covered strawberries. Heart shaped balloons. Fun games. Frosting—I basically lived off of Red 40 when I was 13. And I like hanging out with you all, what's the difference now that it's Valentine's?"
"The difference is I have to party plan, and I can't go to the bar and flirt with lonely singles." Sam complains.
Peter shrugs and gets up from the table. "That's weird, and you're no fun. Later losers!"
Bucky crosses his arms and sinks into the chair. "Why is it Ms. Romanoff and Mr. Stark, but we're losers?"
"Probably because you two are morons and he beat your asses before his balls dropped." Bruce says nonchalantly, picking up his tablet and pulling out his reading glasses.
˖°. ⋆ ♡ ˖°. ⋆
Peter gets to work first, calling May because he has zero experience decorating anything, let alone a holiday themed girls' (?) night.
"Dollar store helium balloons. Honestly, dollar store for most of it; look in the Valentine's section. Also maybe ribbon, place settings, and of course flowers. And don't you dare leave the flowers in the plastic Peter Benjamin Parker—"
Peter finds most of what he needs at the dollar store, and then finds a red and white checkered tablecloth at the thrift store.
The day of he sets the table with heart doilies, pink dishware that Pepper found for him, and some random candles. The odd assortment makes it look rustic, and not like he stole them from people's rooms in the tower. (Wanda had a candle that smells like lavender! Score!)
He sets the balloons loose onto the ceiling and shrugs a good enough when they seem evenly spaced. He uses Mr. Stark's credit card to buy the flowers, because holy bejesus, 60 dollars for plants that aren't even going to make it to next month?! He fixes them up nice, an assortment in varying shades of pink with small white flowers in-between, and puts them in a vase he found when dumpster diving. He hangs streamers and heart garlands on the walls, and uses some Valentine's confetti to just... throw around. It looks like the dragon of capitalism threw up on all the flat surfaces, and Peter dusts his hands off with a job well done.
˖°. ⋆ ♡ ˖°. ⋆
Sam knows how to be romantic. He does not, however, know how to be "cutesy".
All his normal romantic dinner ideas go flying out the window—he is not ordering steak and salmon for a bunch of dudes and a minor, thank you very much.
The only thing he could find that would fit the theme without being romantic was heart-shaped pizzas. It sounds like the perfect party food and just might avoid disappointing a woman who carries a dozen weapons on her at all time (half of which are just the ways she can use her body with lethal force).
He calls five pizza shops trying to place a catering order for the 14th, receives a cacophony of "fuck you"s, "do you know what day that is? Do you know what day today is?", and some immediate hang ups before deciding that homemade pizzas are way more fun and creative anyways, and does a quick grocery shop.
˖°. ⋆ ♡ ˖°. ⋆
Bruce looks through blogs with pictures of millennial blonde women telling him about "great ideas for girls' night!" and finds his task far more difficult than anticipated.
Friendship bracelets? Clashing aesthetics aside, they'd probably rain down in a mess of beads mid-fight. He does not want to Home Alone his friends (don't even get him started on Hulking out).
Decorate your own hair accessories? He's not sure how the physics of trying to clip a hair bow onto Sam's head would work. Bucky and Natasha might appreciate a good claw clip though.
What he does land on is making clay fridge magnets. They have... a fridge. How hard can painting be?
He also pulls out Uno and Avengers Edition Guess Who—they get sent a lot of promotional items. Collectively their favourite was the Ben & Jerry's Super ice cream line, they bought a whole other freezer for it.
˖°. ⋆ ♡ ˖°. ⋆
Bucky buys 3 bottles of rosé, 2 tequila, 1 vodka, red jello packets, pink lemonade, edible glitter, and strawberry milk.
˖°. ⋆ ♡ ˖°. ⋆
Natasha placed an order for a beautiful array of cupcakes, chocolate covered strawberries, and a charcuterie board back in December.
She only waited so long to invite her guests because she wasn't sure how they'd react to her wanting a nice girly party. Her options were already slim to begin with, and it felt weird inviting a bunch of dudes to something she's been planning for months with the ridiculous expectation she'd magically have more women in her life.
Either way, she's determined to have a great night. These are some of her closest friends, why would it matter if they're men?
˖°. ⋆ ♡ ˖°. ⋆
"Maybe I should have been clearer about the dress code."
Natasha is wearing a beautiful red dress; mid-length, thin straps, and a plunging neckline. It fits her curves beautifully, emphasizing her hips in a silky fabric.
The men took the dress code in a...different direction.
Bruce is wearing jeans and a maroon cardigan.
Sam has a white button-up and a red tie, cuffs rolled up to the elbow, and nice black slacks.
Peter is wearing pink hello kitty pajama pants and a white t-shirt with an anatomical heart diagram.
Bucky is adorned in his usual black cargo pants and a baby pink hoodie.
The men all assess each other's outfits, eyes reflecting uncertainty. Sam in particular seems at odds with Bucky's pastel fashion choice.
"Where'd you get that sweater? I thought your favourite colour was "dark" and your closet consistent exclusively of black, noir, midnight, and charcoal."
Bucky seems content despite the fashion being out of his comfort zone. The soft warm colouring makes him seem sweet and approachable despite his perpetual glower.
"I don't know, it just turned like this one day. It used to be white."
Sam narrows his eyes, "I think you messed up your laundry dude."
"I thought this was just something that happened with your fancy machines. I like dark colours, so. I wouldn't know if this was normal."
"Did you wash it with something red? Used hot water?"
"I don't own any red."
Sam exchanges skeptical looks with the other confused Avengers, except Peter, who's completely turned away from them all and observing the wall.
"Peter." Natasha asks.
"Mhm?" he says, back still turned.
"You wouldn't happen to know something about this would you?"
Peter rocks back and forth on his feet, arms swinging like he hadn't a care in the world.
"Not a clue Ms. Ro—Natasha. I haven't the faintest idea."
"The kid did something to your laundry."
"Hey!" Peter spins around. "That is a wild accusation."
"Look me in the eyes and tell me you didn't do it."
Peter matches her unwavering stare, "I! ...Maybe put some of Spider-Man's things in the machine. It was already going and it was just socks—why would I start a new load for socks!"
"When the load that's already going is whites. Honestly, as a society shouldn't we have moved past separating colours? Cold water people, cold water." Bruce trails off.
Sam claps him on the shoulder with a "preach it brother!" while pumping his other fist in the air.
Natasha slices her hands through the air in an 'enough' motion.
"It's fine, it's fine. We're here, we're dressed, Peter managed to do a nice job decorating," Peter grins and shoots her two thumbs up, "so let's get the party started."
Natasha turns on some music while Sam grabs everything out of the fridge.
"We're gonna make heart pizzas! Thought I'd add a little fun and personality to the whole dinner affair."
Natasha looks him up and down.
"All of the pizza places told you to fuck off didn't they?"
"Loudly and immediately."
Her lips quirk subtly and then she helps him set the table up and pass out dough. Sam sighs in relief at the micro expression of joy.
The table is full of chatter and warmth, toppings being passes around. Peter sings along to Blank Space by Taylor Swift with an alarming passion, and Sam absolutely kills everyone with his rendition of Single Ladies by Beyoncé, even getting a chuckle from Bucky. There is a short stint between Natasha and Bruce in which she sees how many green peppers she can place on his pizza without him noticing after he said he didn't like the fruit.
"But you like red?"
"Red has flavour, green things all taste like water or small talk."
The answer was 6 before he noticed.
They take turns playing Avengers Guess Who while they wait for all of their food to cook. Peter and Sam are against each other as Natasha eats her fresh pizza.
"Is your character a man?"
Sam's eyebrows furrow. They just started the game, and already he's stumped.
"I don't know dude, I don't even know if he's got any junk in his trunk."
"Oh, so Vision?"
"Dammit!"
Bucky and Natasha go next.
"Would your character wear his own branded underwear?"
"Yes." Natasha replies immediately. "Would your character be picked for a stealth mission?"
"Nope," Bucky answers as he finishes flipping down his characters. He only has 3 left.
"Has your character had a press scandal in the last 6 months?"
Natasha thinks for a moment, "yes. Is your character Bruce?"
Bucky groans and slams down the last character he had up.
"Yeah. And yours was Tony."
"Indeed it was. Should have guessed when you had 3, better to gamble than play it safe." Bucky rolls his eyes but nods in agreement.
Bucky gets all of his drinks out while they eat, pouring lemonade and tequila haphazardly into their cups, stirring in glitter with an unenthusiastic flare.
"Voila."
Peter looks on.
"What about me?"
Bucky reaches back into the fridge and pulls out a litre of pink strawberry milk.
"Ta-da."
Peter looks at it with befuddlement.
"What, you want the glitter too?"
"Not a fan of micro plastics, thanks."
Bucky shrugs and pushes the jug of milk towards him.
˖°. ⋆ ♡ ˖°. ⋆
"Fridge magnets!"
They all stare at Bruce.
"Magnets! For our fridge!"
"And this made you think of us?" Sam asks.
Bruce throws his hands up. "I don't know man! Would you have preferred wine glass painting?"
Sam holds his palms towards Bruce in a soothing manner. "Struck a nerve there..." he whispers to Bucky.
Despite their apprehension they fall into a nice rhythm of sipping and shaping. The clay starts coming together under their palms; Bruce a pair of glasses, Peter an Iron Man mask, Natasha a pair of ballet slippers, Sam a set of sprawling wings and Bucky a kitten.
"You a cat guy?" Sam asks him.
"Is there something wrong with that?"
Sam's eyes flit between the small cat ears being shaped by gruff hands and the shadowed face of the taciturn super soldier.
"Naw, just didn't peg you as a cat guy. Or an animal guy. Or a loving guy."
Bucky stares at him for a moment before stretching a fist out and smashing Sam's wings-in-progress.
"Hey! Foul, foul! Natasha are you going to just let this happen?"
"It's Bruce's activity."
"Hulk smash."
˖°. ⋆ ♡ ˖°. ⋆
As the night progresses the adults become more and more tipsy, grazing the charcuterie board and sweets on the table.
"AH oh GOD what did you make these with, battery acid?!"
Everyone turns to Peter who's standing in the refrigerator door, holding a cup of half eaten red Jello.
"Oh, I forgot about those. They're Jello shots."
Peter balks at Bucky, "as in alcohol?!"
He rushes to the sink and tilts his head sideways under the faucet, water blasting onto his tongue.
"Well, that's dramatic."
"That is the most disgusting thing I've ever tasted. Why on Earth would you ruin perfectly good Jello like that?"
Bucky grabs the tray of Jello shots from the opened fridge, placing them on the table and handing them out to the adults.
"Cheers," they tap the plastic cups before shooting the gelatin down their throats to the sound of Peter spluttering in the sink. Bucky and Natasha's go down smoothly, Sam chokes a bit at the awkward chunk of food heating his throat, and Bruce spends 30 seconds trying to scoop the Jello out of the cup with an uncomfortable combination of finger and tongue action.
"How do you even know about Jello shots, you're like...old." Peter remarks once he's taken a few gulps of pink lemonade to wash down the aftertaste.
"How do you know about Jello shots, you're like...uncool." Bucky retorts. Natasha snorts and Sam bursts out laughing. Even Bruce chuckles.
"Dr. Banner," Peter whines at him.
"Sorry kid, but he's got a point. What kind of kid spits out a Jello shot. It's free, sugary, no-repercussions alcohol."
Peter just sits down with a pout and continues to sip on his lemonade.
˖°. ⋆ ♡ ˖°. ⋆
The night gets later, the adults more inebriated as they finish painting their magnets.
Sam has eaten all the salami off the board and Peter has taken to throwing the disproportionate amount of cheese leftover at people. Bucky is on his third cupcake, and Natasha keeps giggling into her cup of tequila.
"What if he was blue—" Sam starts cracking himself up, hovering a paintbrush near Peter's Iron Man face.
"I don't understand what's so funny about that. Stop, Sam stop!"
As the boys fight over the paint, Natasha and Bruce go with a quick all-over glaze of colour and then add the sealant and magnet before the others even make it to a second shade. Bucky paints his cat with an air of intense concentration, one even Sam doesn't want to go near.
Their finished magnets get placed onto fridge.
˖°. ⋆ ♡ ˖°. ⋆
The whole group seem to be moving around and restless, chaotic and boisterous. Sam complains loudly about the romcom they put on in the background, Peter, Bruce, and Bucky play a rapid round of Uno, and Natasha keeps popping in and out of rooms with a different cookie and drink in her hand each time.
Bruce starts to get weepy when he pronounces uno, mumbling something about being "uno" forever through a drunken tongue and snot as Peter rubs his back.
The next time they turn around Natasha and Bucky are on the other couch making out.
"Gross! No! No romance on Galentine's Day!" Peter shouts, throwing pillows and pink m&ms at them until they pull away. Peter couldn't see much other than the back of Bucky's head, but he shivers in disgust at the sight of reddened lips.
He starts counting down the time on the clock until Tony and Steve are said to come home. While the snacks, games, and company have been fantastic, the adults are becoming far too...exuberant for his taste.
Bruce is a weepy drunk, Sam simply annoying, Natasha is sneaky and suspiciously absent for odd lengths of time, and Bucky...
"Hey! What did I say!" Peter dumps his glass of water onto the brunet, watching him jerk his lips off of Sam's in dissatisfaction.
"I swear I'll get a spray bottle. Bad Bucky." he says before continuing to the bathroom.
He finds the door open and Natasha standing at the mirror, curling her hair.
"Why?"
Natasha just shrugs.
˖°. ⋆ ♡ ˖°. ⋆
The elevator finally dings a quarter to midnight.
"Oh thank goodness."
Steve and Tony exit with linked arms, broad smiles and sides pressed together in a matching gate.
Peter rushes up to them, backpack in hand as he starts shedding his t-shirt and socks.
"Woah there cowboy, I did not sign up for that kind of rodeo" Tony alarms.
Peter just pulls out his spider suit and starts slipping it on over his state of undress.
"Tell Natasha I had a great time, but I'm expeditiously out of here. Bruce is still hung up on his ex, Natasha feels distanced from her femininity and is trying to regain her girlhood, Bucky's a slut, and Sam is so totally tapping that tonight. I'd like to be far, far away when that happens."
Peter pulls on the final piece of the suit, masking up and sending enthusiastic waves to the couple.
"Hope your date was nice! This is not my problem anymore."
And then he scampers to the balcony and swings off into the night.
The couple share wide eyes, listening to the odd sound of their friends and the booming TV playing a romantic 90s soundtrack.
Is someone crying?
Steve turns away from Tony and steps towards the living area, but Tony doesn't loosen his hold on the other's arm, making his steps stutter to a stop immediately.
"Shouldn't we go check on them? Sounds like the party was too much of a hit."
Steve looks over at the empty bottles of wine and tequila tipped on the kitchen counter. There's food, half fallen streamers, and Uno cards everywhere.
"Right now? That is not our problem."
"But—"
Tony slinks forward, pressing their chests together and wrapping his arms around the Captain's neck, wide-eyed browns meeting baby blues.
"It's still Valentine's, and I have a far more pressing problem for you."
Steve stares mesmerized under Tony's touch, the man sly and hot against his front. They're close, close enough to feel...
"Oh! That's—"
"Mhm."
"Okay. Yeah, they'll be fine till morning."
Tony smirks and Steve matches his smile, moving his hands to his lover's waist before walking him backwards.
Tony allows himself to be guided to their bedroom without breaking eye contact, blocking all thoughts of the other Avengers with a slam of the door and giggling open mouthed kisses.

👉(*â€Čâ€Čâ€Č>ïč<â€Čâ€Čâ€Č*👈) migraine - rafe 👉(*â€Čâ€Čâ€Č>ïč<â€Čâ€Čâ€Č*👈)
Summary: You are Rafe’s younger sister and Sarah’s fraternal twin. You were supposed to hang out with the pogues today, but you got one of your awful migraines and rafe takes care of you.
warnings: descriptions of vomiting, please skip if this triggers you.
word count: 1.9k
--------------------------------------------------------
I woke up to a knock on my door. I opened my eyes and looked over to the door to see Sarah open it and walk in.
“Why aren’t you ready yet y/n?” Sarah asked me.
“What are you talking about Sar?” I asked, groggily
“Boat day with the Pogues, remember? It’s already 8” she said
“Shit I forgot.” I said. “You go ahead, I’ll meet you guys there.” I said, rolling back over.
“Ok, see you there y/n.” Sarah said, leaving the room.
I sat up, when I was met with the familiar sharp pains in my head and blurriness in my left eye. I groaned in pain. 
I’ve been getting migraines for around 3 years now, ever since I was 15. They started when my dad and Rose started fighting more and more. When they started, they were manageable, but throughout the years, they’ve been getting worse and worse. Now. they’d become unbearable. My head would be throbbing with random sharp pains and my left eye would become crazy blurry, I would get nauseous and throw up sometimes, and I wouldn’t even be able to eat or drink anything without it coming up. And to make things worse, I had run out of my migraine meds, and I could already tell this was one of those days where nothing would stay down as I was already feeling so nauseous. 
I knew there was no way I could survive in that summer sun with the pogues all day, because not only could I not drink water, but if I wasn’t drinking beer with them, they would know something’s up. I pulled out my phone, turning the brightness all the way down and opened up the group chat. There were a couple new texts from the pogues.
jb: whooooo boat day!!!!
brainiac pope: i’ll meet you guys there in 30 minutes, my pops made me do a couple deliveries
kie: headed to the chateau now!
captain maybank: hey sarah, r u and y/n on ur way?
fav sister (sarah): i'm coming, y/n will meet us there, she woke up super late as always lol
jb: honestly, i expected that 
I had to come up with a lie fast, so i typed:
y/n: About that guys, I can’t come today. Dad wants me to help him prep the Druthers for the hurricane later this week.
fav sister: I thought Rafe was helping him with that tomorrow
y/n: nope, he changed his mind i guess, lucky you got out early
captain maybank: you’re literally his favourite kid how did you not get out of it
y/n: idk ig he needs 2 ppl or smt
kie: ok, we will miss you!!!
I shut my phone off and tried to fall back asleep, but my bed wasn’t doing it for me, so with whatever strength I could gather, I went downstairs to the pullout couch with a trash can. I sat down on the couch, bringing my knees up to my chest and resting my head on the cushions. I whined in pain, feeling another sharp pain shoot through my skull. I tried to fall asleep, but the throbbing in my head and the sickness in my stomach kept me up. I couldn’t even do anything at all since my nauseousness would come back. I was so thirsty and hungry but I knew I couldn’t eat or drink anything or else I would throw up. I just wanted to sleep and be left alone today. After about 3 hours, I managed to doze off for a bit. 
--------------------------------------------------------
“Yeah, sure. I’ll be over at around 7:45.”
The sound of someone’s voice woke me up. I opened my eyes again, feeling the throbbing and nausea coming back. I winced in pain, looking over to see who it was. It was Rafe. I immediately settled back in. Rafe was the only person who knew about my migraines, and he always took great care of me. But Rafe was just telling someone, probably Topper or Sofia, that he would be going over in a couple hours. I froze, trying to be unnoticeable, because if Rafe saw me here, he would want to take care of me and I couldn’t let him cancel his plans.
Rafe and I were each other's favourite siblings. Ever since we were little, we would always take care of each other. He would always comfort me when I was upset, I would always cover for him when he snuck out, and we were just always there for each other.
Rafe was about to step out of the house, but another sharp pain hit, and it was the worst one I’d had all day, causing me to let out a loud whimper. I covered my mouth, hoping Rafe didn’t hear it, but of course he did.
“Y/N?” he asked, looking around. 
He came into the living room, seeing me in a ball on the couch, covered in my favourite fuzzy pink blanket. He jogged over to the couch and got down on his knees next to me.
“Hey hey hey, what’s going on? Is it one of your migraines?” he asked.
I nodded slightly, afraid to speak or move my head too much. 
“Did you drink any water?” he asked
“No, it’s one of those days where nothing will stay down.” I said.
“Did you take your meds?” he asked
“No,” I said, shaking my head. “I’m all out.”
“Okay, hang tight.” he said, heading towards the door. He left, closing the door softly, so that the sound didn’t cause my headache to get worse. I sat there, massaging my head, trying to ease the pain a little bit. After 15 minutes, I heard Rafe’s car pull back in the driveway. He gently opened the door, holding a small paper bag. He went into the kitchen, and I heard the fridge open quietly. Another strong wave of pain hit me. I groaned loudly, trying to focus somewhere other than my awful headache, but I couldn’t. The waves of pain were getting more frequent now, occurring every couple minutes. Rafe walked into the living room, holding a glass of water and my migraine pills.
“You’re a fucking lifesaver, Rafe.” I say, accepting the pills and water from his hand. I put the water down on the table and swallowed the pills dry. 
“You need to drink water.” Rafe commands. 
“I can’t Rafe, I can’t keep anything down today.” I said.
“No no, drink it. If it comes back up, then I won’t make you drink anymore for a while at least, but it will help a little bit.” he said. 
I was about to argue back, but the pain shut me up. I took small sips of water, turning into gulps as I finished the whole glass. Rafe sat down next to me and started massaging my head. He always knew exactly what to do in these situations. 
“Have you eaten anything?” he asks, whispering.
“Rafe, I already told you, nothing will stay down.” I said.
As if on cue, I felt the water I drank start to come back up.
“Rafe, the water is coming back up.” I muttered
Rafe immediately got off the couch and grabbed the trash can from beside the couch and handed it to me. I lifted it to my mouth as I gagged up the water that Rafe made me drink.
“Okay, we’ll take it easy for now,” Rafe said once I was done vomiting. “For now, try to go to sleep.” 
I nodded and laid down on the couch, bringing my knees up to my chest. Rafe laid back down next to me, going back to massage my head. Within 15 minutes, I fell back asleep. 
--------------------------------------------------------
I woke up to see Rafe sitting in the reading chair next to the couch, texting someone. He had changed from the polo shirt and jeans he was wearing earlier to a graphic tee shirt and sweats. His eyes immediately fell on me and he got up and came over to the couch. 
“Hey sleepyhead, feeling any better?” Rafe asked with a small smile.
“What time is it?” I asked Rafe.
“It’s about 8:15 now, you slept for almost 7 hours,” he said.
“What happened to your plans?” I asked. 
“I told Top I couldn’t make it.” he said.
“Why?” I asked, still half asleep. 
“I wasn’t about to leave you to deal with this by yourself.” he said. “Are you feeling better at all?” 
“Actually, yeah,” I said. “My head still hurts, but I think I can manage water and some food now.” I said.
“That’s good. I’ll go make you something.” He said, tuning to leave the room. I stopped him.
“I’m sorry.” I said. Rafe turned to look at me.
“What the fuck are you sorry for?” he asked, getting down on his knees to meet my eyes.
“I’m sorry you had to cancel your plans to take care of me.” I said. 
“Don’t apologize,” Rafe said. “It’s not your fault.” He got up and left the room 
 I sat up, crossing my legs. I pulled out my phone, the brightness still all the way down. I opened my text messages. I had one from Sarah and a couple from the pogues. I opened the one from Sarah first.
fav sister: Sleepover at the Chateau, come if you want. We missed you today!
I opened the text from the pogues 4 life group chat. 
jb: hey y/n, you almost done? today was no fun without you
captain maybank: yeah, I had no one to shotgun a beer with!
kie: hey I offered!
captain maybank: yeah, but it's not the same kie!
kie: whatever
pope: we missed you today though y/n and we hope u can come for the sleepover.
I texted a quick ‘thanks, missed you guys too.’ and put my phone away just as Rafe came back with another tall glass of water, some toast with avocado on it, and another one of my migraine pills on a tray.
“Here you go m’lady.” he said, setting the tray on my lap. 
I took a bite of the avocado toast and took a sip of the water. . 
I finished eating quickly, took my meds and got up, picking up my phone. Rafe immediately got up, making sure I was good.
“I’m gonna go upstairs to sleep.” I said. 
“You want me to come upstairs with you?” he asked.
“No, you go out with Topper. You shouldn’t have cancelled your plans just to take care of me.” I demanded.
“Not a chance in hell. I cancelled for a reason y/n. The only question is do you want me to come upstairs or stay down here?” he asked again.
“Come up with me please?” I asked.
“Of course.” Rafe said, getting up and following me up the stairs. 
I got in my bed and snuggled under the covers. Rafe got in after me, kicking off his slippers. He started to rub my back and massage my head again. Before I drifted off to sleep, I looked over at Rafe.
“I think I already said this, but thank you Rafe. I love you so much and thank you for taking care of me.” I said.
“Anytime y/n/n. You would take care of me in this situation, plus I know how bad your migraines can get, especially if you don’t have your medication.” he said, taking a small break from massaging my head. 
I gave him a little hug before turning back around and drifting off to sleep for the night.
--------------------------------------------------------
A/N: Sorry it took me so long to update, I’ve been super busy lately and haven’t had much time to write, but I’m back! (I say as if 2 days is a long time). Love you guys so much!

What's Next for you? That's up to you. Isn't it obvious I'm waiting?
Tumblr media
Part 3 Final?
Within the next couple of minutes you felt the ship shift immediately from an impact and from what you could conclude it had to be shadow or sonic.
Tails: Y/n, y/n can you hear me?
Y/n/: Loud and clear tails are you okay?
Tails: I'm okay sonic seemed really mad a while ago so don't be surprised if you see heading for shadow. I was also able to disable that magnetic necklace around you I hope this helps.
Y/n: Thanks bud and trust me I think I felt sonic presence just now it happened so quick he must of took his chance and came for shadow without a second thought. Is knuckles okay as well-
Suddenly a wall has been punched down behind you as knuckles stands there witha proud look on his face.
Knuckles: As you can see I've remained unharmed.
Y/n: Aw my hero but that's good to see thanks for the escape route touch guy but you know I would be able to get out of here regardless.
Knuckles: That maybe so but, their is no need to wait around and risk you of getting harm just incase. Did the blue hedgehog twin hurt you?
Y/n: No I'm good we just had a misunderstanding. He does not understand his wrong doings and I know he's confused but I just know before the end of it perhaps sonic can knock some sence into him since they've seen to be at each other's throat. I can tell sonic is confused as well and perhaps hearing shadow perspective can get him led up on him some.
The red echidna just nodded as he then looked down with an apologetic look as you walked up to him and patted his head gently.
Y/n: Don't worry knuckles heros can't always be everywhere all the time and you being here is enough to show me you care. That goes for you too tails I know your still listening. I'm alive and trust me I've been through worst if anything this had just stalled me temporarily. Now come on im sure whatever plan you have needs to be attend to. I'll destroy whatever robots I can find because I know the doctor will unleash them if someone's in his way regardless then I'll head back to earth okay?
Knuckles: Understood me and the fox will take care of him and eggman as well stay vigilant.
You've always adored Knuckles warrior spirt he's able to use his strength wherever he felt was needed even if times he knew you didn't need another pair of hands in battle but, he couldn't help but want to protect you as well as the rest of his new found family even if you are hardly around. What throws him off is the fact that he has to remind himself that your not as fragile as human beings despite nearly resembling as one you would easily discard or flee battle out of annoyance or drowsiness.
He thought you we're scared to fight but he happened to come across an police officer shoot at you only to see you slap the bullets effortlessly and walk up to them only to bath their heads together and tie them them on top of a car and walk away. From that point on he knew you were no human if you were able to casually pull that off your just extremely passive unless provoked.
So he quickly rejoin the fox as quickly traveled through the floor finding robotnik drones in a room eagerly destroying them as you managed to get distracted catching a glimpse of the two hedgehogs going at it in space and on earth. You we're stuck in a daze as the sparks instigated from them both where beautiful but you know their was both pain and rage from them both if their going at it like this and suddenly you saw them hit a new form of their power well more so shadow. Suddenly his fur was shining white with a hinge of gold while sonic remained gold.
You could sense the power level from the two ans you were impressed and in awe. You then shake your head to snap out of the daze you were in as you we're now creating small blades to step on as you hopped from one to the other making your way towards earth away from the chaotic destruction around you. This caused the two to glance your way as you let out a small wave and continue onward. Sonic felt his anger leave him for a second as he was weirded out that you managed to be out here I'm space with a suite in the first place.
Sonic: Y/n? Y/N where's your space suite? HOW ARE YOU BREATHING? And what are you doing? Did SHADOW hurt you? I'm so sorry we took so long.
Y/n: No worries carry on with your quarrel. Remember to try not to destroy the earth while your at it the others are doing their best to save it as of now. And, although I was stuck in his presence for a while he didn't hurt me. I don't think he has it in him to do so yet unless he's provoked but then again he is also cautious of me as well it seems. As expected from the ultimate life form perhaps you are starting to learn the consequences of your actions you wouldn't be in this predicament.
He just slightly glared at you while mumbled something on the line that this is a learning process for him and he'll soon understand his wrong doings shortly enough.
Sonic: Thank goodness...
Shadow: You escaped when you could of been protected
Y/n: Protected from what the pain about to be caused from robotnik blast? Whether I'm down there or not it won't change the emotional pain and trauma an individual would experience you out of everyone should understand that. Again I understand your motive I really do and I'm thankful but as you can see I'm free and I will do as I please. Being out here in space to long is something I cannot prolong in for too long. My body feels weird I think...
(The last 2 sentences you whispered)
Sonic: YOU THINK? I knew it you need a space suite!
Y/n: I don't even know what that is but whatever until next time you two...maybe.
And so you did continue to hop on down back to earth. Shadow had to admit it look like you were playing around skipping but he could tell you balanced yourself well while but your body seemed to glow as you moved as well if he tilted his head a little he could catch a glimpse at it. Sonic however was still not fully convinced you were left unharmed.
Sonic: So you really didn't hurt her?
Shadow glared at the hedgehog offended and annoyed. He recalled back to you shocking yourself but he didn't really know if he was at fault or not so he didn't answer causing sonic to frown and attack him once more.
You wanted to to do more but you knew you didn't need to as everyone seemed to pitch in on their way to stop robotnik and shadow together. You knew it would all work out and besides if it didn't then you knew wrapping up every living organism on earth within your ribbions would be the next solution seeing as when you finally landed you focused all your energy on summoning ribbions to the point where they would immediately attach themselves to individuals nearby so in an instant within a snap of your finger everyone globally would be absorbed within your ribbions even if the earth was blown up as long as a part of you remained you couldn't die and besides your not from this world and a part of you was left back there so you knew you would just slowly rebuild yourself if your body was destroyed.
You were ready to absorb everyone as you looked up and see as the robotnik laser activated aimed for earth but it was quickly aimed away as you could see the laser hit the moon instead thankfully the planet you let out a sigh of relief ans looked up towards the sky hoping that everyone is fine. They did it, everyone is safe, you hoped sonic and shadow manage to solve their indifference.
You quickly traveled underground to where tom and Maddie were relieved they weren't too far injured but tom having his arm and part of his torso bandaged did leave you in question but you weren't going to pursue them. You knew they've been through enough ans seeing them alive is enough so what you did was create the pair a new set of clothing so hoping the two would be comfortable when they change. You even managed to carve around " thank you for your hard work" in the ground with your claws as you slowly disappeared off far away from the city.
You had change your attire once more and made and umbrella as you opened it to block out the hot sun but before you could step forward an gold ring lands directly in front of you spewing some dirt up in the air causing you to step back and sneeze at the sudden dust cloud. You then looked up to see nothing at all, all around you so, you just hummed at yourself in confusion.
Shadow: Your allergic to flowers but dirt too? I wonder what's next.
You looker towards the side in slight surprised to see him appear before you quietly. Too quietly for your liking as he slowly picked up the ring...no his ring. You didn't really realize he was wearing them before now.
Shadow: Inhibitor rings.
Y/n: Hmm?
Shadow: These are my inhibitor rings if that's what your wondering.
Y/n:...So you we're holding back then make senses.
He then stared at the ribbons on your body causing you to smile out of embarrassment and look towards the side because of his intense gaze. You even held the umbrella in a way to to block his view from your face and upper torso.
Tumblr media
Y/n: Seems like you figured everything out up there. That's good. I'm glad you all managed to put a stop to this together. Does that make you guys friends now? Shouldn't you, you know regroup with them?
Shadow:...We are not friends nor am I going anywhere with that faker and his friends. We just had and misunderstanding that was all. I have no interest in joining them either.
Y/n: I'm sure they'll forgive you though.
Shadow: Maybe so but that's for them to decide...are you hurt?
Y/n: No-
Suddenly he reappeared in front of you glancing for any signs of pain or injuries.
Y/n: I said no I'm fine. Weren't you the one just fighting just now if anything you should get checked.
Shadow: I am the ultimate life form It was nothing I couldn't handle. (He always uses this lines in shows/games bruh💀)
He huffed at you and you snickered in return as you began to walk past him until you were at a lift ends.
Y/n: So, what's Next for you?
You looked around seeing a few GUN members below and you wanted to erase any evidence of your existence in their work and then return to sleep. You hear Shadow approach as he looked at you carefully analyzing the what specific GUN members you looked like you will target and then he looked back at you.
Shadow: That's up to you. Isn't it obvious I'm waiting?
Y/n:...What? Your a fool if you think my presence won't have consequences if you try to interfere or simply stay nearby me. I'm no saint but no hero either. This is your chance for freedom and a start of a new beginning out there don't do something you'll regret.
His ears flicker at your words as he continued to stare at you as he started to reach toward the sides where he ripped flowers out of the ground and suddenly throw it towards your face causing you to instantly sneeze and rid of the umbrella as you threw whatever petals and flowers remained on you away as you heard sounds of grunts and yells of GUN members below there where shadow seemed to be knocking out the specific members you stared at as you quickly clapsed your nose to control your breathing from the sudden pollen from the flowers he'd thrown your way.
Petty how petty can he be. Either he was offended by your words or simply wanted the luxury to taking the members out himself. Perhaps since it seems like his feelings towards GUN remains the same after what they did back then and you couldn't blame him but leaving you up top to deal with your sneezing frantic seemed to be his way of tell you off letting you know he had no interest of leaving you be.
Shadow would glance back at you and continue his doing because in his eyes this was his new prone choice of freedom and he greatly accepts whatever consequences comes his way remaining by your side. This was his way of twisting your words to his advantage he would show you these consequences for once is something that this choice is what he'll stand with. He'll in his eyes it felt like you left him behind too and after he lost her and throught you were lost too he couldn't feel any ease at all yet you were here giving him a chance and helped him question life and his being.
He wanted to pursue more of that and he wanted to know what other mysterious you'd unlock because afterall he question your existence as well he figured if you won't answer his questions he'll stick around long enough to see it himself. He did find it amusing how your quick to panic for the most dumbest things like flowers. He knew that was one of your weakness it's obvious theirs only so much your noise could take hence why he threw flowers at you to throw you off.
He knows he's started to look forward to the small interactions you both have even the negative ones recently. He could tell you took some interest in him as well especially his mindset he could tell you were persistent with caution everytime you talked to him because you didn't want him to receive the wrong message you were the type to understand but not to overbearing so the individual could have time to rethink everything through. He just didn't like the part where you let him hanging and that's why he's here once more.
What was that feeling he wants to explore what if he doesn't want to be grouped with the others and what if he can find you a reason to show him the different sides of earth that you told Maria about? What if he can protect you with his strength? Will you allow it? Even if you didn't he wouldn't care and he was willing to test these possibilities with you. This is his new start and yours as well. He's glad you don't stay with the fakers family this makes everything less stressful. You seem like the type prefer isolation but company depending on the individual so let's see where this new journey leads you both.
And within seconds he took the individuals out and looked back to your sharp gaze as you then shook your head in response. Yeah what an interesting journey you both will have ahead.

okay ill bite why do u hate kaoru sakuraba sidem aside from the fact that they went from hokuto as a main blue to downgrade to kaoru. to make it less awkward that I’m asking abt sidem on ur osomatsu side blog, what sidem idols would u assign to each matsu ?
i think sideM should collab w osomatsu-san and put them all in Beit so they can all get JOBS!!!!!!
Tumblr media
anyways i hate kaoru from idolmaster sideM. i need all my osomatsu-san side blog followers to know that i hate this man. "i need a lot of money fast to pursue an extremely niche medical research track, which is why i quit my stable and high paying job as a surgeon to become an idol while having no soft skills, physical strength or stamina, or interest in getting along with people" are you Stupid??
he's not even using his idol clout to spread awareness of the rare disease he's trying to cure (like SEM does) so it can secure funding, he sees it 100% as a job and refuses to have fun, he is actively unpleasant and uncooperative in every interaction with his coworkers because he's trying to "rise to the top". it seems like the only thing he has going for him are his looks and that he kind of liked to sing when he was a kid. why not become a model at that point when you have the personality of a wet tree trunk. or better yet why not STAY A FUCKING DOCTOR!!!!!
also, i don't like meganes, so write that down.
#context for oomfiematsus: idolmaster sideM's gimmick is that all the idols were other things before becoming idols#Beit is the unit whose gimmick is that all their members have part time jobs (baito)#others are like. lawyer -> idol; pilot -> idol; pianist -> idol; rakugoka -> idol; etc#finding out the backstories/previous lives of these idols is like the main appeal of this branch#a lot of times it's like trauma and stuff that causes them to switch careers. like there's a pair of twins who were former soccer pros#but one suffers a career-ending injury and it's sad. and theyre like well we were pretty good at PR and stuff though so let's be idols#(the other twin follows him because yknow twinsies <3 cant be apart)#and this guy is in the main unit so you meet him and he's just a fucking dick the whole time and he just seems to fucking hate being an ido#so the whole time youre like what's this guy's deal#(note i experienced this through the anime cuz all the games are EOS lol)#and then like 3/4ths into the anime in you finally get his backstory#and it's that his sister died of a very rare disease so he needs money to fund research to find the cure but no one will fund it#but instead of staying a doctor he decides the best way to do this is to BECOME AN IDOL?!!!?!?#like sure i bet the top idols do make more than an average surgeon? but it's like do you want a .01% chance to make a $2 million salary#or an 100% chance to make a $300k salary BECAUSE YOURE ALREADY A SURGEON!!!!#and it'd be another thing if he was like. kinda having fun with it. kinda being jovial#like there's literally another guy in the teacher unit who became an idol for the exact same reason (heard it was lucrative)#but then after he finds out being an idol actually isnt all that much cash#so he just decides to have fun being an idol instead!!!!#this guy NEVER GETS THERE. he's always a SERIOUS RUDE STICK IN THE MUD who is NEVER FUN TO BE AROUND BECAUSE HE'S LIKE#I'm Here For Work. I'm Here To Be The Best Idol. I Don't Want To Make Friends#LIKE GET REEEEEEEEEEEEEEAL DUDE YOUR COWORKERS ARE 10 YEAR OLDS IN ANIMAL COSTUMES AND 30 YEAR OLD MEN IN PINK TIGHTS.#anyways everyone likes him i guess he's supposed to be the “cold guy eventually opens his heart” kind of guy but he has always just come of#as very annoying to me. and also DUMB AS FUCK i cannot stress enough how STUPID OF A CAREER CHOICE THIS WAS#so i cant take him seriously when they try to play him up as this cool all-knowing guy when he's the STUPIDEST PERSON AT THIS COMPANY#INCLUDING THE 9 YEAR OLDS

men are so disappointing in so many ways i know i shouldn't expect most of them to be dignified humans but it's crazy. i need to get over this guy he's making my sense of self crumble even faster than it usually does. like he's just so unlike my usual type and i'm pretty convinced he's stupid and slutty and not discerning whatsoever. not to mention boring like i know even if i did have a chance with him he wouldn't Get Me at all so it's a bigger waste of time that usual and i'm actually pretty tired of men in general and definitely tired of parasocial relationships because they drive me insane for months typically. thankfully it's only been like 2 weeks if that at this point. idk. sigh. i know literally virtually nothing abt him as a person and ofc liking any public figure who you know nothing about is only setting yourself for heartbreak and disappointment to begin with bc you already know nothing is gonna come from it but. in a way it's almost addictive to become obsessed with someone and not be looked at with the same level of scrutiny. i don't think anyone in real life would ever try to get to know me as much as i try to get to know people who i'll never even meet. lmao! but that's the thing... idk... i have a lot of love in my heart and it consumes me and i reject my pride usually when i'm into someone. i want to know more... like VORACIOUSLY consuming anything with information about them involved simply because i think knowing someone is a very deep form of love but of course you can never truly know anyone. not completely. and that scares me i think which is why it's always probably been easier for me to never really TRY to be with anyone or have anything real. idk. this turned into me psychoanalyzing myself real quick but SOMEONE needs to bc i need to understand what the fuck is wrong w me.
#like i'm not gonna lie and say i do this every time i'm even vaguely interested in someone. most of the time i'm just like 'ooo hottie'#and then save a bunch of pics before either the shame gets to me or i just stop caring and move on. happens quite a bit more than my#obsessive episodes. the worst one was absolutely the fact that i was obsessed with jeremy for basically 3 years and spent two hating him#simply because i thought i was owed anything. honestly i think i was just very very insanely depressed. that's probably why those#obsessive periods even happen to begin with because i have felt so so horrible like soul ripped out horrible the past few weeks lmao#and i think i'm just a grasp for any light in the dark type person like it doesn't even necessarily mean anything the person is just someon#i attach significance to them when i do this shit but i know deep down that i'm owed nothing and that i truly expect nothing#it's just nice to have a distraction from my life. and dgmw that doesn't make me any less schizo about certain details and happenings#like i'll still think that 'oh they're only doing that because i'm into them' or 'they only went here because it was related to something i#was thinking about earlier' and whatever else. i know what i am. i don't claim to be anything else. and i know it puts people off.#and that i'm not likely to get any better if i keep doing it. if it's even possible for me to get better. but idk. it's interesting bc i've#thought more about what my life means to me and the kind of person i am and how my brain works and how everything affects me#more in the past few weeks than i seem to have in the last 5 years. i think i'm really getting better at accepting hard truths.#time spent by yourself is still time spent with the world.... and the more i think... even if it's hurtful... i'm growing and changing all#the time. i don't think if this was 4 years ago i would've even acknowledged the fact that i can't write off on This Guy's zionism#and other things about him that give me the ick (hate that phrase but whtevr) like him playing that gay hogwarts game and being a nepo baby#like bro you have trans friends and supposedly always 'look out for the small guy'. he's also never dated a fat girl despite his mom being#kind of a trailblazer for fat women in the entertainment industry. there's always rumors of him dating literally ever costar he's ever#worked with i guess simply because he seems like that kind of guy. and to be fair he does LMAO#honestly i don't know if i believe he's a bad person but i won't sign off on a guy i like being boring and stupid. that's just me#i'm sure ppl reading this who also don't Get Me are wondering why any of this even matters and the point is that it kind of doesn't lmao#but it's my life and i typically choose to care about people who will never even know i exist. unpopular girl instinct i suppose. maybe i'm#destined to be unloved or something but for now i wear fantasies like a blanket. maybe one day i won't need them anymore. but i def#do not need to center my romantic ideals on a guy i would be embarrassed to tell people i'm dating if i were actually dating him. rough#now just give me a month to get over it and finish the 2nd season of a show i like that he's in and i'll be rid of it hopefully. we'll see

you go to a lesbian blog and find it says women only!! no men allowed!!! and go oh! excuse me, um, what about other lesbians? plenty of lesbians are genderqueer... and they go well, okay, go fuck yourself tim chop off your sweaty dick and stop calling yourself a lesbian. you do not have a dick, actually. you think about that fact often, even though it does you no good. you do not tell this person that.
you go to another lesbian blog and it says women only and you try again, and this time they change it to wlw + nblw only (non-men who love non-men :D). and you'll say hey i appreciate that but gender's not really that cut and dry for a lot of people. someone could be both a man and nonbinary, for instance. i just worry that you're looking at nonbinary as a generic third gender, or an extension of womanhood. i mean yeah you include nblw in your tags but all your posts are about pussy-havers exclusively. what's with that? and they say go fuck yourself you pervy man pretending to be a lesbian. you tried to sneak in but i won't let you.
so you go to a lesbian blog with a dozen or so posts about queer people needing to be more weird about it and you sigh in relief. but you still see the men dni. that's odd. hoping for the best, you say hey! i know you mean well but please maybe don't put men dni at the end of the lovely posts on your lesbian blog bc some lesbians are men. and they'll be like ok!! well you're allowed ;) and you say no that's not. no. some men are lesbians not just me. you think about your own dicklessness and wonder if that's why you were given entry. and you add that even if male lesbians are allowed, there's no indication of that. how would anyone know without asking? and they're like ohh gotcha gotcha well men dni + this is for sapphics only!! and you'll be like ok well that treats the concepts of men and sapphics as mutually exclusive identities and i just told you that's not true and you agreed with me so.. i don't think that solves our problem. and they're like. ok. fine. men dni but genderfluid and multigender people are allowed! and you're like no see that's. that's still the same thing.. you're saying the same thing just with different words. if you don't want men to interact but you're fine with multigender/genderfluid/etc ppl interacting then you either don't see them as Real Men (because they don't reach a standard of Full Manhood) or Complete Men (because they're only Part-Time Men), both of which suggest that they are, in some way, not men or less-than men, which is invalidating and defeats the point of the exception in the first place (accommodation) OR that you don't really mean the dni which is confusing and inconsistent and makes guydykes feel weird and uncomfortable and excluded from the lesbian space you're trying to cultivate. and they're like um. ok. so. cishet men dni? and you're like well i think that makes more sense, but what if someone identifies as both a cishet man and a sapphic? again, if we're trying to accommodate the genderfucky populace then that has to be a possibility that is considered. and they say god you people are never happy. what do you want me to do? what am i supposed to say to keep the right men out? and you pause. you empathize with the need for a space free from dudes trying to fuck you straight and feminine. dudes who watch lesbian porn and joke about what they'd do if they were allowed into girls locker rooms. who look at you like a piece of meat, and like someone who looks at women like pieces of meat in the same way he does. you get it. you know. you want a space where you can be sapphic, too. that's why you came to these blogs in the first place. you brace yourself and you say well i don't know that there are "right men" to keep out. i don't know that there's any single label that would accomplish whatever it is you're trying to accomplish. you could go for "sapphics only" or "queers only" and i think that might be the closest thing to what you want, but it's never going to be perfect. creating any exclusive space is going to shut out people you didn't account for, and the broader the label, the more people will be shut out that you didn't want to shut out. and what about people who don't know if they're allowed? what of questioning transbians, where are they supposed to go? and, frankly, i think i might rather my dykey posts get read and appreciated by a gay guy who sees me as a man than a woman who only sees me as a sacred womb, pure from male perversions or violence or whatever. i think community might just be more complex than a dni can handle. and they look at you and say i don't want to not have a dni. i think you're too permissive. you can't just "what about" or microlabel your way into everything. go fuck yourself, i bet you're not even a lesbian anyway. go find a real problem to get mad about.
you go to a lesbian blog. you ignore the men dni because you know you probably don't even count to them. or maybe you do count and, out of respect for your manhood, they'd shun you accordingly. you try to feel okay about that. you scroll past dozens of posts about mediocre men and gagging at straight friends' boyfriends and how gross and undeserving men are of the beautiful women they couple up with and how all women should be gay so they can get treated right and and and and and. you finally find a post about curling into someone you love and feeling at peace and try to lose yourself in it. you know that feeling is what unites you, what makes you belong. you try to focus on it. you think about carding your hands through a butch's hair or lacing fingers with a femme and feeling warm and loved and more yourself than you ever have before. like this is who you're meant to be. you read about lesboys and butch boytoys and genderfucky dykes and big hairy deep-voiced wonderful women (like you want to be someday, like you wish you could make yourself) and you try to ignore the men dni underneath each and every post. and you daydream about meeting someone kind and earnest at a lesbian bar even though you don't think any such bars exist within three states of you and you can't drink and don't want to drink because you need to be in control of yourself at all times so you don't fuck up like you're always about to and here in the nonexistent lesbian bar you feel wanted and safe and in good company. you picture your ideal, happiest self. it is a mistake. ideal-you has a goatee. not the mascara one you smear on and call drag even though you know it's not drag, not really, the beard you call drag because you think everyone would look at you sadly if you told them it was just to pretend you had something out of your reach. a beard that's soft and that you grew and that cannot be smudged away if you get too comfortable with it. the dream shatters. your people pull away from you, their scoffs mixing with the mind-numbing gay girl bedroom pop you learned to settle for just to have something that almost resembled you, they all pull away and turn their backs and do not look at you. you're too close to being a man now, even though you're the same amount of man as before. and they know you're not supposed to interact with men, not as you would with dykes, at least. and it sours. it's all your imagination, all in your head, but it sours.
you sigh. you think about how small you are. how short, how narrow, how feeble. how your voice pitches up when you talk to strangers because it's easier to speak quietly when it carries more, and because you're nervous. because it's a chore to talk, like everything is. you think about testosterone. you think about how your family would look at you, the questions they would ask, your answers they would only pretend to accept. the uncomfortable glances and whispered questions they'd try to hide from you. you think about how small you are, and how small you will always be. how you don't know of a way to fix it, but even if there was one, no one would want you anymore. you'd be the only one thinking it made you a cooler dyke. you think about how you don't even want a T-voice all the time, how you'll never be able to switch it at will, because you don't know how and can't bring yourself to figure it out. you think about how your throat closes around every hint of your own attraction. how wanting is perverse, how wanting is invasive, how wanting is embarrassing and too vulnerable so it must stay anonymous, as an online witness, and how you can barely manage to form or maintain friendships because your brain makes you pull away, always spinning out and struggling to recover from the simplest of interactions. how they'll all leave you and you won't chase after them at all and how that will hurt them. how stuck you get. how it looks like nothing's holding you back, how that frustrates everyone who thought you were going to be more than you were. the people you love who understand except when it comes to being ghosted, being shut out. how you don't want to hurt them. how you can't tell them that because you're stuck. how you turn to stone when touched, how you never reach out, how you lose your speech and can't look at people, how your autism is fun and sexy until it becomes real and you never see them anymore, how much you longed for someone who knew everything without you having to explain, and who loved you anyway. how unreasonable you know that is to expect of anyone. you think about that not-even-real lesbian bar. you think about how you still can't drive. how you can't leave your home on your own, without dragging somebody into helping you. how you can't leave your body. how you can't leave your manhood behind.
you think about finding another lesbian blog and ignoring everything. about skimming it for the parts you can juice some meaning from. the parts men ignore and don't understand, and how typical of you it is to do so. or the parts where you're not welcome and you should accept that, because it's for lesbians only. how you are a lesbian anyway. how you're meant to choose lesbian or man, how each is a betrayal of some kind to yourself or your people, your family, your lovely strangers, your rare friendly acquaintances. about the parts that tell you you're not wanted, that you're ugly and lazy and gross and insert yourself everywhere without even asking. about the parts that tell you you are hated, and how lesbians are above it all by rejecting men. how lesbians are each blessed miracles. about the parts that say you should be ashamed of being whatever twisted confused freak you are, of everything, of looking and wanting or not looking or not wanting, of picking and choosing instead of taking it all in with a smile. after all, shouldn't you take it? or is your ego too fragile, as men's so often are? aren't you tired? good. we're not here for your consumption. and we sure as hell don't want your company or "community" or whatever. didn't you read the sign? no boys allowed. and if you want to come in you have to make up your mind. as if you haven't told them the only answer you have. you're both. you're both.
you know you broke the rule by interacting.
but it gets lonely sometimes. you wonder if they know.
#before i maybe get yelled at:#1) no i do not think ppl are evil for having men dnis no i do not think these are all equal transgressions even#though there is an overlap that should be examined that i think is based in a degree of lesbian separatism + exclusionism#2) yes there are lesbian blogs and people that are cool about genderfucky people. i'm not talking about them#3) this is a stylized vent post about trying to find lesbian content on tumblr that isn't like this. all these dnis/rules are ones i have#encountered. no i do not literally tell these people to change their dnis to suit me. the conversations are symbolic and ideological in#nature. if i find a blog with men dni i generally go somewhere else. it's about emotions. it's about my feelings on that it's not literally#about dming someone demanding they change things. it's not about demanding that You change things or else you're a bad person.#4) it is about the conflicts and hypocrisy and inconsistency of strict and exclusive sexuality labels persisting in gender-diverse spaces#and how it affects me as a lesbian who is a man who is a woman who is fucking whatever else. and yes it is about transphobia too.#5) it's about how lesbians feel the need to exclude men and how i think efforts to do so fail and hurt ppl and are often misguided#tht i think also comes up in like. bi lesbian/mspec lesbian/gaybian discourse. i'm not any of those myself but it seems like there's overla#6) if this post seems whiny and sad and insecure that's because it probably is. i have a right to be all of those things.#7) no i do not think all lesbians are man-hating assholes. i am a lesbian. i love lesbians. i love dykes and most of them are fantastic ppl#i just think the general bullshit of the world leads to this defensive thing that ends up hurting others in our community y'know?#8) i get that my perspective/experience is a bit unusual and many lovely ppl haven't considered it. that's part of why i'm sharing this#nyarla dni#<- sorry man it's too vulnerable. gonna keep this one to the internet-only folks#adding this wayy later but a crucial part of the experience i Almost talked about it this but never explicitly did was that like#the measures ppl take to 'defend against men' are often deeply transmisogynistic as well. obviously#and when i see that it hurts me too. not that it hits me the same way when strangers assume im a trans woman and hate me for it#but it doesn't feel good to see transphobia at all. i focused on how that relates to other kinds of transphobia#namely transandrophobia here but like. it's all connected. lesbain separatism + exclusionism relies on both and they aren't always#distinct experiences. ime. anyway trans ppl i love all of you forever#i just thought me writing “*turns to the camera* and trans women exp this too.' wouldve been too much even for this post#i figured the audience would like. know that. and so far it hasn't been an issue. i have not been yelled at thanks guys đŸ«¶

WILD to have been feeling like I was overreacting about my roommate for days and feeling like oh I'm just not giving them enough credit I'm sure they do care about me even though I'm usually pretty comfortable expressing hurt or need to friends and I don't feel safe doing that w them I'm sure it's exclusively a me problem. and then. scrolling back through this vent blog and it's just a log of various times they've hurt my feelings LMFAO
#pond.txt#man. we basically broke up today as friends bc theyd sent me this text a few days ago about how i scare them when I'm mad (bc i texted them#in the middle of the night saying hey i really need to be able to get sleep bc im going through x y and z can you corral your cat bc i know#he keeps you guys up too but like he is Your cat. and they decided that was scary mean lmao like i wish i hadn't deleted the text chain bc#like i Have acted up once before when mad and i can understand them feeling uncomfortable after it even tho it was a very odd situation#but usually i'm either rly conflict averse and avoid the subject and vent here OR I'm like mad-mad in a way i can't hide and i send myself#to my room without talking to anyone like idk why they found that message 'scary.' I'm gonna talk about anger management in therapy just in#case bc i don't want to be lashing out if i am and am just not seeing it but it was not a scary message)#anyway they sent a text about it and how i can always come to them and know it's safe and they don't like that they can't with me and they#don't want me to text when angry anymore and i read it and just was like yeah we're done bc i Can't go to you when I'm upset about literally#anything let alone something you've done and I'm well within my rights to be like it's 3 am and your cat is being So noisy put him somewhere#he isn't disruptive. and if you read into that idk that's on you. being tired and frustrated and explaining why I'm frustrated is not the#same as being scary angry i didn't even curse i was just like i already can't sleep bc i have one position I'm medically allowed to sleep in#and it's uncomfortable and they're fitting me for a brace soon and all day every day is physically exhausting rn i need sleep#<- sentences normal people are terrified of#anyway between those things and them taking potshots at me in the message i was like what is the point of being friends w you and i just#ignored and deleted it and soft blocked them and their gf and muted them both on instagram and today they brought the text up and they were#like are we good and i just kind of hesitated and they went it's also totally cool if you don't want to talk about it and i was like yeah i#don't really want to. i can be civil tho and they were like oh yeah same. i just figured you know we've got another year to go.#and i was like ahhhhh you want out of this friendship just as much as me huh lmao. nothing about repairing anything or getting on the same#page just. telling me that you're tracking the time too. and they seemed sort of relieved that i didn't want to discuss it.#so I'm like yeah we're dead to each other we probably have been for some time. we're just gonna get through now lmfao. be polite and distant#and then fully cut ties and never acknowlegde the other's existence ever again#oh no what a loss for me i won't be around to have me talking about having a seizure totally trampled over and interrupted by their gf#talking about her massive shits anymore. however will i survive.#i broke my arm trying to clear the ice for this girl so she could get to a lyft safely btw. worst move ever. a bitch is not worth this#good lesson in like. if people show me they don't care. my response should be okay they can get fucked then. from the start.#and not a bunch of desperate attempts to make them care. like she has been consistently mean and my 'friend' has consistently taken her side#no matter what and i should've just been like whatever happens happens if you do slip and hit your head again and die#well it was just your time 🙏 peace and love on planet earth

meinnnn gott i was like boy this song can't be 8 & a half minutes....well the first 6 minutes of the video are phyllidia krampington loosing george salazar the krampus on everyone & their asshole (here her cousin, b/c although i swear on my life i have seen [phyllidia seducing the krampus via baby it's cold outside] photos, in this 2018 show that sequence is definitely about her trying to fuck melvin cooterstein in the ass. (note that she mentions the xmas villain's long-lost daughter harriet, as the [why are you so evil? / i don't kneauuraeaough....but it definitely doesn't have anything to do with xyz] but no long-lost presumed dead spouse, who would've been already mentioned in the 2019 show at this point though that's no incontrovertible evidence it's not relevant in this show. & my hypothesis is that if melvin is a long-lost anyone, phyllidia would be His long-lost daughter. but 50/50 could go either way! a beautiful relationship ft. the convenience of all these colonoscopies he keeps scheduling)) and then we meet the fancy tree! and don't get around to singing until phyllidia's exit & the krampus's partial sendoff to go feel better having some snacks (i.e., mingle & meander)
