Neighbor! König Part 3
Part One Part Two
It's only after THREE MONTHS in that you find out his name isn't Kevin
Why? You overheard a phone call. A phone call with his mom
Because, to put it in small terms: König is a mama's boy
Not in the gross way that boy moms do (everyone say EWWWW) or the manchildren who think their mom can do no wrong and will always side with her over on everything. We know those guys. He's not that. Not even close
No, in the 'he genuinely loves and cares about his mother because this is the person who raised him so his respect for her and love is absolutely profound'
That's the woman who raised him, that's the person who read him bedtime stories at night when he couldn't sleep, that's the lovely lady who would let him hide behind her skirts when she'd take him into the village and people would try to say hi, she's the one and only who taught him all about the many wonders of the world and how beautiful nature is
Yeah, he's going to respect her. He loves his mom and for good reason
He calls her every day if possible because she still lives quite far away in Austria :( and things haven't been the same since his dad passed away
He doesn't live near or with her, as much as it pains him, because quite frankly: he can't risk it. He still visits as much as he can, but living with her makes her a target because he's a man with blood covering his hands and there's people who will do anything to get to him
He can't risk her like that, wouldn't ever dream of it
She understands. He doesn't tell her the extent because he can't break her heart and he's afraid she might see him different, but he does tell her HOW dangerous it could be
He will always tell her about the good things he does, though! Like saving hostages! That's always great. She's so proud of him
He might be a grown ass man at 6'7" and weighing over 250 lbs that absolutely towers over her but he will always be her sweet baby boy before anything else
He is always writing her letters and sending her packages and pictures! Letters just are more heartfelt usually and she's old fashioned, she likes having something physical to hang onto especially now that her eyesight is fading
She is always sending them in return too. His favorite coffee mugs are all shaped like little forest animals and she made them! They're precious and he's so happy holding his little hedgehog mug (even if it is a bit spiky)
ANYWAYS how you found out his name wasn't Kevin was because you heard her use his name
His real name
That wasn't Kevin or even close.
And afterwards you had to go "... uh... Kevin? Who is she talking about?"
König has never been close to this flustered before, even when you fell asleep with your head on his broad shoulders when you were watching a movie together
Time to fess up.
He at first tries to go into denial, then dismissal, but it doesn't work at all
He admits defeat. You caught him, he ISN'T Kevin. Well, he's still the same person! That's just not his name
He was too embarrassed to correct you or himself so he went with it and it kept building and building
He wanted to tell you, but it's a hard topic :( he knows he would have stumbled and stuttered over his words until he fell flat on his face
You'd find it out eventually! It's not like he put 'Kevin' on his mail or anything like that
Now, most people would rightfully feel mad and lied to
But he's turning red enough to match the roses he grows and can't seem to meet your eyes. He's sweating bullets, he's genuinely embarrassed here and feels awful about it
Maybe it's against better judgement to accept such a thing so easily but he hasn't been anything but nice to you ever since you broke down his icy walls.
(Aka he's so painfully socially awkward and flustered you feel bad for him and take pity)
And just maybe you heard the "Ich bin in dich verliebt" slip out as you took his hands in yours and assured that you liked him as him, whether he's named Kevin or not, and nothing would change that

Summary: A small glimpse at your first holiday with Bucky.
Word Count: Over 500

A/N: A quick thing inspired by an anon ask.

Tumblr media
You spend the morning with Sweet Pea in matching pajamas as she opens gifts. The matching pajama tradition began when she was a baby and you’re happy she still wants to do it.
You make breakfast as she plays with some of her new toys, and you hang up the new calendar she made on the fridge. You also put the snowglobe she made on your desk, complete with her picture inside.
Sweet Pea shares some of her stocking candy with you and when you ask her why she says it’s because it's the season of giving and sharing. You’re raising her right.
And being the season of giving, you hope you’ve given her enough. She doesn't get gifts from her dad or that side of the family, so you always do your best to give her a nice holiday.
It’s more than enough, even if you doubt yourself now and again.
Bucky invites you over for the afternoon. He doesn't want to interrupt your morning time with your daughter.
You two decide to make holiday treats for Bucky because you don't want to show up empty handed. Sweet Pea also makes a homemade card and paints a coffee mug for him, which becomes his new favorite.
You can't help but smile when you see Bucky in a nice sweater that matches his blue eyes because he looks so handsome. For a moment you worry that you're a bit undressed until he tells you how beautiful you look.
Your smile only widens and your heart melts when he crouches down to pick up Sweet Pea and carry her around. She tells him all about the morning with great enthusiasm, and he listens to every word.
How is he so perfect?
He has gifts for both of you under the large tree in his living room because he wants to spoil you, but he won't “upstage” you by getting more gifts for your daughter than you did. You appreciate that more than you can say.
There are games set up so you can all play together, snacks and blankets for movies, and he has a few books out, too, in case Sweet Pea wants him to read. She does.
Dinner is simple and low-key because you want it to be something your daughter will enjoy, and it’s full of smiles and laughter.
You tear up after dinner when Sweet Pea starts to get sleepy and Bucky wraps her up in a warm blanket so she can lay on the loveseat. You try to wipe the tears away before he catches you.
He sees them anyway and doesn't show how emotional he feels, but it hits him square in the chest.
Because while he saw his friends in the morning and they are his family, he doesn't have this.
And when you're curled up beside Bucky later on the couch, you thank him for giving you and your daughter a wonderful holiday. It was one you wouldn't forget.
He thanks you for doing the same for him, and hopes it’s the first of many.
Tumblr media
Oh, they deserve the world. Love and thanks for reading! And all the good vibes during the holidays. ❤️

old rose.
a/n: i had this written a while back, and i almost forgot to post! here's my piece for the pixel café network's secret santa. a special gift for the lovely kandy @kandyshoppe!!! ❤ happy holidays! sending you a virtual steaming hot mug of cocoa with marshmallows and all your fave toppings!!! i hope the winter season has been treating you so well so far. sending you good vibes only for the rest of the season, and i hope it overflows even into the whole of next year!!!
fandom: haikyuu!!
character: aone takanobu
genre: fluff
info: established relationship (aone is your boyfriend); post-time skip
warnings: -
synopsis: you were stuck on what to get aone for the holidays.
word count: 1.9k
Tumblr media
Aone Takanobu
Aone, for all his overwhelmingly positive characteristics, had one glaring weakness: he was quite impossible to shop for.
This was your first holiday season as a couple, and somehow, you felt the need to give him a gift that was better than all the gifts you've ever given him combined. You realised that this winter would just be one winter in the many you'd have with him by your side, but realising something was different from acting on it.
You found yourself browsing the outlet mall again after work, idling in front of aisles and aisles of things on sale. From after a quickly scarfed down dinner to the time the retail workers would politely ask you to leave, you loitered about a plethora of stores selling different things and hoped that there would be that one thing in particular that stood out to you as the best gift ever.
Aone was a very self-sufficient man, and you loved that about him. He always bought multiples of every product he used, even going so far as to shop in anticipation of needing a replacement to make sure that he never ran out of anything. His place was always clean and organised, even when you dropped by unannounced because your grandmother made some food and you wanted to share it with him. There was always sufficient food in the fridge and ingredients in the pantry, and nothing expired in his place under his watchful eye.
You loved that he took such good care of himself, and that his care extended to you too. But it made it all the more difficult to shop for him, because there was really nothing that he had need of. You'd offer to pay his rent for the next month or two for a gift, but you knew he wouldn't accept it.
After spending hours scratching your head and mumbling to yourself while window shopping, you decided to go to Aone's friends for advice.
Futakuchi pointed at you like a bully did in those old American coming-of-age movies and began cackling when you asked him, having caught him refilling his water bottle during a break. You had it in mind to stomp on his apparently brand new volleyball shoes before he stopped his witchy laughing fit long enough to say, "Big guy'll like anything you give, dummy! You're like made of gold or something to him." It tickled you to have Futakuchi's vote of confidence, but it wasn't what you were looking for. What would be a good thing to get Aone for the holidays was still very much a mystery.
You would've asked Moniwa who was there to watch VC Date's practice match with another of the prefecture's municipal teams, but his partner – or were they already engaged? You'd have to prod Futakuchi a bit to find out. – was sitting with him. They seemed to be enjoying listening to Moniwa explain every move made by the players on the court, so you refrained. Kamasaki arrived sometime after the match had started, but he was too busy exchanging quips and shoulder shoves with Futakuchi after the game for you to cut in.
"I got it! Why don't you make something for Aone-kun?" Nametsu slapped you on the back lightly when she spoke, and you looked up from the amigurumi you were crocheting.
She threw you an encouraging look, holding up both her thumbs to drive the point home. Something in your brain paused at her suggestion. Your eyes went from her to the almost-complete project in your hands and then back to her. Her smile never faltered in the time it took for her words to register.
"He's not a plushie kinda guy. But—" The vibrant colour of the pink afghan you recently blocked grabbed your attention when you turned your head to face Nametsu properly. You secured the working yarn of the amigurumi in your hands with a stitch marker from the coffee table, before you lifted the corner of your pink afghan. "One of these would be nice, wouldn't it?!"
She nodded vigorously, smoothing both her palms across the cabled pattern of the afghan as it lay prettily across the back of your couch. "He'd love it so much!" she said. "Bet he'd love it even more if you made him one that matches."
The next time you could leave work a little earlier, you rushed to the local yarn store on the other side of town. When you got there and found that there wasn't any more of that specific shade of pink in the yarn you used for your own afghan, you deflated slightly. The colour code was the same, but the batch code wasn't. All you had was a picture on your phone for reference, but you were sure that the difference in shades would be more obvious in person.
Sighing, you wandered the aisles of the store. Running your fingers over some of the fancy hand-dyed and hand-spun wool skeins in the corner with the premium yarns definitely cheered you up a bit. With your heart settled and your wallet ready, you ventured back to the section that held yarns with price tags that wouldn't break the bank and make a nice afghan for Aone.
He was careful about washing his woollen winter garments, so you didn't have to pick a superwash yarn. He also didn't get cold easily, so you didn't have to pick a 100% wool yarn. The large row of sale bins drew you away from the wool yarns at standard price. Within these bins, you were pleased to find several discounted bags of pink cotton and wool blend yarn in a shade that was more old rose than your preferred Barbie pink. The muted pink would work beautifully on his beige sectional!
You got to work on Aone's afghan immediately after locking the door and toeing off your shoes. Crocheting occupied the bulk of your free time after work and even on the weekends, and you felt a panic come over you when you started noticing shops putting up Santa Claus and reindeer-themed décor.
There was a pang of guilt in your chest each time you had to tell him that you couldn't meet him when asked on the day of, simply because you already had plans to rush home and continue working on the afghan. You didn't want your gift to get between you and your boyfriend, but with the way time was rushing past, you really, really wanted to finish it as soon as you could. It was already getting to mid-December before you knew it.
Nobu ❤ >>> If you're very busy with work, I can meet you where you are. It's been a while since we had a meal together. I miss you.
It dawned on you then that this must be the reason for the Crocheter's Curse: devoting so much time to the project that the intended recipient felt forgotten. You didn't expect to let it get this bad—
Nobu ❤ <<< i miss you too, pookie!!! really!!! ❤❤❤ i'm really sorry that i've been unavailable lately. let's meet for dinner at that restaurant you like this friday! my treat!!!
The day of the holiday dinner was upon you just as you removed the afghan you crocheted for Aone from your makeshift blocking board. It was the miracle you needed for the season that your gift was completed, washed and blocked on time. You admired it for a minute before you folded it into a thick rectangle for easier packing and wrapping.
Now all you had to do was to give it to him!
You were riding the high of both a met deadline and a completed project despite the string of recent sleepless nights. Until you arrived at his place and felt yourself sink into his sofa, you were confident you'd be awake enough to witness Aone's reaction. The decorative pillows were newly fluffed. Judging from the sweet orange scent that hung in the air, the sofa slipcovers, among other things, were freshly laundered too. These sensations worked together to make your wakefulness all the more easy to slip away.
Aone's head whipped around to your direction when he heard the sound of your palm colliding with your cheek. He washed and dried his hands before he stepped out of the kitchen and sat by you on the sofa. Taking your face into his hands, he examined the sight before him. "You haven't been sleeping well," he said.
The words to let him know that nothing was wrong and that you were feeling alright sat on the tip of your tongue. But you couldn't get them out when he was stroking his thumbs over your cheekbones so sweetly. The motion was so soothing that it was lulling you to sleep even if your eyes were still wide open and you desperately needed to blink. "Would you like to take a nap? It'll be a while before dinner's ready."
Shaking your head, you patted him on the thigh as a means of reassuring him. Aone's upper lip jutted out almost imperceptibly at your action, and you laughed. "I'm alright, really! I was just working on your gift these days. I didn't want to give it late, is all!"
His little pout deepened into a recognisable frown. You jumped up a little in your seat, placing both your hands on his chest and rubbing small circles about his collarbones to assuage his concern. "Ah, it's no big deal! I'm not sleep-deprived. We don't celebrate the holidays in my family but I know your family does, so I just wanted to do things right!"
Aone closed the distance between your face and his with a series of light kisses, and you closed your eyes at the first touch on your lips. When he was satisfied for the moment, he pressed his forehead to yours. "I'm very grateful. But you didn't have to do anything at all. I will never be disappointed by you, or by your gift."
Your heart positively swelled at his words. "But I wanted to do things right! You deserve it," you said. "I wanted this first gift to be extra special, is all."
The two of you shared a few more whispers and kisses before you pulled away, giddy with excitement and extremely eager to hand him his gift. You walked to the sideboard by the entryway where you left the afghan and returned to his side by the sofa.
"For you, Nobu!" You pushed the wrapped box into his waiting hands, bouncing on the heels of your feet in anticipation. "Will you open it for me, please?"
He nodded, thanking you in a hushed tone that you could only describe as reverent. Your palms began to sweat, even if you knew you didn't have to be nervous about his reaction. You put all your love into each stitch.
The stick-on bow and the wrapping paper came off, and next was the lid of the box.
You would never have predicted the love-struck gasp that escaped him once the lid was off. The wonder in his eyes was clear as day, his hands appreciatively tracing the cabled pattern lines of the afghan, still folded neatly within the box. "Do you like it?" you asked, though the answer was quite clear. You just wanted to hear Aone say it.
"I love it," he said, leaning over to brush an appreciative kiss in your hair. "This is the best gift. Thank you."

8. Grooming Kits: For the Well-Groomed Gentleman

10. Sentimental Gifts: Gifts that Speak to the Heart
Sometimes, the most meaningful gifts are the ones that come from the heart. Sentimental gifts like custom-made photo albums, framed memories, or heartfelt letters can leave a lasting impact. These gifts often carry more emotional value than material items and are perfect for deepening your bond.

-Chapter 8: The Avengers' Therapist-
Bisexual Female Reader x The Avengers
Rated M for eventual sexual themes
600 Words
My Masterlist for previous chapters. Please read disclaimer in Ch. 1
"This weekend went by so fast," you said to Steve as you filled a travel mug full of coffee. You took a mug from the cabinet and filled it for him.
It was already Monday, and you were going straight to work. You had a great weekend that you didn't want it to end. You were supposed to go home yesterday, but you decided to extend your stay.
"I know," he said. "I'm glad you decided to spend one more night. I hope you won't be too late."
"Luckily, some borrowed clothes from Nat were all I needed," you smiled.
You picked up your bag, soaking in Steve's warm features.
"Just a few more weeks," you said gently.
He nodded. "A few weeks too long. Let me carry that out for you." He reached for your bag, but you stopped him.
"I know you're supposed to be training right now, and you need to go because you also meet with your therapist today."
Steve ultimately agreed and you said your goodbyes.
It was a long stretch through the compound to the parking garage.
"Hi, YN," someone said to your left, and you looked up from the window you had been looking out at while you walked.
You glanced over at the tall blonde dressed to impress. She was older, and familiar. You realized she was an old supervisor for some observations you completed during school.
"Hi," you said with a polite smile. "How are you?"
"I'm great." Her smile changed from polite to something else. "I've heard a lot of things about you lately."
"What do you mean?" you asked, confused by her change in demeanor.
She shrugged, adjusting her briefcase on her shoulder.
"You know, I think doctor patient relationships are entirely inappropriate, especially when they involve criminals."
You frowned. "Criminals?" Was she calling the Avengers criminals?
"I'm sending a complaint to the board to have your license revoked," she said simply.
Your heart was pounding viciously in your chest. You felt like you were floundering, like a fish out of water. She couldn't do that. Why would she do that?
"After everything I have done for you," she scoffed. "This behavior is disgusting-"
"Dr. Reynolds," Bucky said. He stepped up behind you, preventing her from continuing. His hand gently skimmed your back before he dropped it. "You're late. Natasha hates to be kept waiting."
"Of course." Her polite smile returned, and she walked away, heels clicking on the floor.
Bucky ushered you into a dead end hallway, out of view of the main corridor.
"Buck," you whispered, gripping his soft t-shirt. You struggled to suck in a breath. You were certain your heart or lungs were going to burst in your chest from each labored inhale.
He soothed you. "Match me. I'm going to count to five."
You matched your breaths to the rise and fall of his chest until you could do it on your own. You dropped your head to his chest.
"She can't do that, can she?" you whispered. "Try to take away my licenses? I wouldn't be able to practice anymore, and-"
"Easy," he soothed. "Relax. We wouldn't let that happen."
"You can't control something like that," you looked up. He thumbed away a lone tear.
"Neither can you. I'm sure she was just bluffing to get under your skin. Honestly, everyone has been bragging about how differently you do things, I'm sure it was getting on her nerves."
He wrapped his arms around you, kissing your forehead.
------------------Author's Note-------------------------
"Come on," he said, picking up your bag. "I'll walk you to your car."
Here's Chapter 9
Merry Christmas Eve Eve! 💕 and a very happy holiday season to everyone. hope you're staying dry and warm during this freezing time!!

6 Helpful Gift Brainstorming Ideas
Tumblr media
Looking for gift ideas this holiday season? Unsure what to get?
Shopping during the holiday season can be a challenge in itself without considering your budget or time limit. Assuming you have some time left before the holidays sneak up on you, here are some helpful tips to helping you find the right gifts for the right people.
Think of What Qualities Come to Mind When You Think of That Person
When you're shopping for someone, as easy as it is to have the logic if "I like it, they'll like it" it doesn't always apply. When you're reminded of this person what triggers that thought? Did something related to a food or drink they like show up somewhere in your life? Gift them that food or drink or maybe some decorative or funny drinking glasses or kitchenware to go with it. Did their favorite sports team pop up somewhere and you thought of them? Get them some memorabilia or sports themed merchandise. Or did you think of them when a specific hobby comes to mind? Get them some supplies to support that hobby or something themed around that hobby like an ornament. Really stretching the boundaries of the influence this person has can help you brainstorm limitless gift ideas.
2. Sentimental Gifts Are the Most Memorable Gifts
Think of those events both good and bad that happened this year; Was there anything you could have done to help them? Did they just start a new chapter in their life? Did they just achieve something? Some examples of items in this category could be framed photos, money to help with expenses, items to help them with any major event happening in their lives, an ornament to remember an event or to let someone know they're not alone, or something you noticed them eyeing when you spent time with them last.
3. You Can Never Go Wrong with Necessities and Self-Care Items
Items like blankets, pillows, socks, calendars, foods, drinks, desserts, and self-care items like candles, and skin care products, never go out of style as they're always needed. Although any of these things can be mixed and matched according to what you think the person you're shopping for would like, sometimes thinking of what this person will do with the items helps. For example, if you know the person you're shopping for is stressed, try giving them a small collection of gifts that would help them relax. To name a few examples, perhaps a bath bomb, some wine, a candle, CD, blanket, and/or facemask.
4. Plan It Around a Theme
If you know the person you're shopping for really enjoys a specific activity, place, or thing, try making an assortment of gifts around that theme. For example, if you're doing a secret Santa at work and you know absolutely zilch about this person, try making a basket of items around something basic like a movie night themed basket. That basket could include popcorn, a DVD of your choice, chocolate, and maybe something festive like candy canes and hot cocoa. Or to name another example, say you know this person loved their trip to Ogunquit, Maine and can't stop talking about it, try making an assortment based off of their trip. To name some examples of items for such an assortment: a themed mug, an ornament related to the state or place, perhaps a gift card to use at one of the shops or restaurants in that area, and maybe something unique from one of the local shops in that area.
5. Gift Cards & Money
A lot of people would prefer money or gift cards over something they won't be able to use, like most gag gifts, but from the gift giver's perspective it can seem uninspiring or impersonal. That's why it is a good idea to pair a giftcard or money with something small or sentimental, or have the giftcard be towards one of their favorite shops.
6. Gag gifts
These are always a safe bet if you want something more tangible than money or gift cards, but know your humorous boundaries with the person you're buying for as you don't want to overstep any boundaries. These items could include a witty saying on drinking glasses, coasters, or napkins, or could very well be something out of the ordinary like a bitcoin themed ornament or something to make light of the pandemic.
Final Thoughts
Now that you have some ideas going, it's important to remember it's the thought that counts, not the item. No matter what you choose to do this holiday season, don't forget your values and what truly matters this time of year.
