spare change for some teacher!jason? spare chaaaaaaaaaange? (i hope you are feeling better this week 🩷)
Jason glanced at his email and frowned. You weren't coming to class and wanted to give him a heads-up per his syllabus.
Fine. Perfectly normal.
Except for the jolt of anxiety that hit his chest. Were you okay? Was Lena sick? Had something happened? You never missed class. Never had late work. Never missed office hours when you said you would be there.
Your education was important to you and it showed. None of your work was "stock" there was time and effort. You'd grown and improved as a writer and he was damn proud of that fact.
He wanted to believe that that was all it was. Concert for a student.
But- he couldn't. He KNEW you. It was impossible to read anything you wrote and NOT know. You were real and raw and unapologetic about your life. The struggles and the pain. Everything you channeled into making a better life for your kid. Because more than anything, you wanted her to be able to look back and say her mother loved her enough to change. To give her a life with dignity and stability. Something you didn't get.
"Fuck," he groaned, pulling out his phone and hitting a number on the speed dial.
"Hey Jaybird what's-"
Second ring. Of course the golden boy would answer on the second ring. "Hey Dickhead, I need a favor."
"Hello to you too."
"Yeah yeah," he said, "Listen. Remember that waitress from a couple weeks ago?"
"Which- oh wait. The cutie that you were staring at all night?"
"I wasn't- you know what never mind. Listen. If I give you her address can you go check it out? Just make sure she and her kid are alright."
"Sure but you gotta do something for me."
"If you tell me to hug Bruce I swear I'll call Tim and have him-"
"Not that you fucking baby. Just come to dinner on Sunday. I pissed Bruce off last night and he's gonna wanna "talk" but he won't if you're there."
"Why would that-"
"Because you never show up and he'll be too thrilled to whine."
"Fine," Jason huffed. "Just-"
"Yeah yeah," Dick snorted. "Don't sweat it. I'll go check on your girl. And the kid."

i cherish you, halcyon days (gojou satoru x reader)
“you’re gonna die, kid. in the worst way possible. but because i like you so much, i’ll let you ask three questions about it.” you’re 15 years old when you’re told you’re going to die. you’re 17 when you realize who your killer will be. and you’re a day away from turning 19 when you make peace with the fact you wouldn’t want it any other way.
tags: gn!reader, annoyance to friends to lovers, you and gojou share a birthday month and you're not amused, it's canon that jujutsu school curriculum last 4 years so don't say nothin' when i mention 4th year students, now a multi-chaptered fic read here
[2005. Tokyo Metropolitan Curse Technical College ー 1st year]
Do you like Gojou Satoru?
If someone were to ask you that, you would have to answer ‘no’. You’d answer ‘no’ even if no one asked. Gojou Satoru is impossible for you to like from his stupid sunglasses to his shit-eating grins. Even worse is his arrogance. It’s only an additional sprinkle of salt in the wound when you found out later in the year that he was rich, part of some big name clan in the world of jujutsu you yourself were only scouted into.
I don’t like him at all.
You’re the odd man out in your class, though. Despite your less than stellar review of the boy, your classmates, Suguru and Shoko, got along just fine with him.
To spite you even further, it seemed the universe enjoyed pinning the two of you together as well.
It wasn’t enough for the universe to have you both in the same school, year and class. No, you even shared a birthday month.
Gojou’s December 7th to your December 9th.
The week of your shared births, Gojou was especially intolerable. “You’re the baby of the class,” he’d taunt gleefully like he wasn’t only two days older than you.
To cut on time and effort, your teacher and classmates decided that from 1st year on, December 8th would be the day both of your birthdays were celebrated. And thus, December 8th was 'Satoru and [First] Day'. Your cake was his cake and present unwrapping was a joint activity.
By the gods, I wanna punch him so much.
At the very least, you can rest easy in knowing the fact that the feelings of dislike are mutual.
Gojou Satoru is strong, it’s an irrefutable fact no matter how much you’d like to deny it. He’s strong and in turn, the strong are the only ones Gojou respects. You apparently don’t make the cut.
And that’s fine. Strength came in all sorts of ways. You disliked Gojou Satoru but you could live with the fact that, at the very least, you were going to be stuck together for four years. Because even if he was strong, life sometimes paid you back with small moments of grace where someone put the golden boy of the Gojou Clan in his place.
You thought it was one of those days when you met Takamatsu Akira. It was a week before your birthday when he told you were going to die.
You raise an eyebrow at the unfamiliar name, “who?” It’s lunch at Jujutsu Tech and you’re eating with your classmates when Shoko name dropped a person you never heard of. “Never heard of ‘em.”
“He’s a sorcerer that can see glimpses of a person’s future when he looks at them,” Suguru answers in her stead over a sip of his oi ocha. “He’s apparently at the school today for some sort of meeting.
"Hands off the goods," your eyes widen in amazement as you quickly smack away Gojou’s hand from your lunch. “Really? And it’s all accurate too?”
“He’s a major asshole, though,” the white-haired boy hisses with a pout. You roll your eyes. I’m not sure how reliable your words are if you of all people are calling someone an asshole. Your incredulousness must show on your face because Gojou’s next words are, “seriously! He only tells people he thinks have interesting futures anything about it.”
“And?”
“Satoru’s just mad because apparently his future isn’t interesting,” Suguru smirks, smugly welcoming his best friend’s unamused side eye. “He told me about mine though.”
You bite back a snort when your curiosity to know Suguru's fortune wins. “What did he say about it?”
Suguru touched his chin thoughtfully, recalling back the day he met the seer. “He said that one day I’ll be stuck at a crossroads between two paths and make a life changing decision,” he pauses dramatically and you lean forward in anticipation. “That’s all he told me though.”
Damn it.
The brown-eyed boy chuckles but he shoots you a look of amused sympathy, “he never really tells you too much about it apparently. I was disappointed too.”
“Did he ever tell you anything about your future, Shoko?” You ask your class’ resident slacker.
Shoko shook her head, bob gently moving with her. “I’m one of the boring ones too,” she says with a lazy wave of her hand. “Like Gojou.”
“Don’t worry, my friends,” Suguru places a hand over his chest and bows with far too much grace and humility. “I alone will shoulder the burden of having an interesting future. Unlike Satoru.”
You choke, unable to stop yourself from chortling this time. Whatever Gojou sputters in his self-defense, you don’t hear it over the sound of your own laughter. “Maybe he’ll tell me about my future too,” you sigh when your giggles subside. You sincerely doubt it, but it’s fun to think about the possibilities. I want an interesting life plot twist, like the reveal I’m actually a long-lost member of some royal family he just won’t tell me which one.
“He’ll probably stop by because you’re here,” Shoko rests her chin on her palm. You were the newest in your class, starting a month later than the rest. “He likes seeing if new students will have interesting futures ahead of them.”
“Don’t get too excited, [First],” Gojou quickly rains on your parade with a lot of arrogance for someone whose future is apparently so boring a seer won’t even talk to him about it. “I’m the most interesting person in this place and he won’t even talk to me. So who knows what sort of reaction you’ll get.”
“Oh quit being bitter that your future is gonna be boring, asshole,” before any other quips and gripes can be exchanged, the class door slides open abruptly. You look over with a start, wondering if it’s your teacher when you see it isn’t. The man is a bit younger than Yaga but his hair is already graying and his eyes are a deep green reminiscent of pine trees. You have a feeling you already know who it is and grin. “You wouldn’t happen to be Takamatsu Akira, would you? Gojou here was telling me about his boring future soー” you stop yourself with a shudder when you blinked and realized that man was in front of your face and much too close for comfort.
“Now that is something,” the man blinks owlishly, eyes almost glowing in his amazement.
Your discomfort flies away faster than a seagull with someone else’s lunch, “really?”
The man leans back with a grin and a snap of his fingers, “really, really.”
With that you look at Gojou and stick out your tongue and he sticks his tongue in return.
[First] 1, Gojou 0.
Suguru chuckles and Shoko grins and all the while, Gojou Satoru flicks your forehead too quickly for you to react. “Look, hater, it isn’t my fault that your future’s boring, quit trying to rain on my parade,” you snicker, batting your eyelashes. “Mr. Takamatsu, I’d really appreciate it if you could tell me about my future if you don’t mind. Before the naysayers get more butthurt than they already are.”
“You’re gonna die, kid.”
With four words, your blood freezes and you find yourself blinking once, twice slowly. It’s the matching looks of shock and surprise on your classmates' faces that tells you you heard Takamatsu correctly. Stiffly, you look back at the seer hoping for that revelation to be nothing but a joke, but instead you find yourself looking at a maniacal grin. That grin feels more like a knife in your gut. “In the worst way possible.”
The knife sinks deeper into your flesh, twisting.
“Hey,” out of the four of you, Gojou is the one who finds his voice first.
Takamatsu ignores the boy with snow white hair as if he’s nothing but a minor breeze, “But,” he beams like he’s only told you that he found a discount at the convenience store. “Because I like you so much, I’ll let you ask three questions about it.”
“O-okay,” you stammer almost instinctively. Like a zombie, you find yourself stumbling onto your feet and Takamatsu nods at the door. These answers will be for you and you alone. You aren’t sure what expression you wear on your face as you exit, nor the expressions of your peers. You can't bring yourself to look at them as you follow the future-seeing sorcerer into the halls of your school.
I’m going to die.
I’m going to die.
In the worst way possible.
It’s only once you’re relatively alone that the seer halts his walking in the middle of the hall to look at you. “Feel free to ask your questions,” he tells you. “Your classmates shouldn’t be able to hear, even if they keep looking out the door. So ask away,” he reassures you, waving his hand nonchalantly.
You glance to your left and sure enough there are three heads leaning out of the door, staring straight at you both. You can’t bring yourself to smile reassuringly before you return your gaze to the sorcerer in front of you.
Three questions.
Your first question can only be so obvious. “Howー how do I die?”
Takamatsu’s amusement is sapped from his face at that question. “Really?” He yawns with a shake of his head. “That’s what you’re going to ask? That’s quite boring.”
Boring? Boring?! It’s my life! “Yeah but-”
“You know what, fine,” Takamatsu sighs, crossing his arms. He recalls his vision in his mind for a moment before he opens his lips. “You’re going to be killed by someone precious to you. Ask me something more… riveting this time.”
You blink slowly.
You’re going to be killed by someone you care about.
When do I die?
Was it an accident?
On purpose?
Why would they want to kill me?
You don’t think those are questions Takamatsu will find intriguing in the slightest. In a panic, you ask the most original question that enters your brain. “Do I die… angry at them?” No. Fucking. Shit, me. “Wait, that was dumb don’t answer th-”
“Nope, it counts,” Takamatsu clicks his tongue. Maybe it’s payback for your first question being so predictable and unoriginal. “And my answer for that is no. Your heart will surprisingly bear no anger towards the person who kills you.” A revelation that shakes you to the core. “Well, one question left to go, kid. No more mess ups, I’ll take it even if it’s something as a dumb as a repeat question.”
“Okay, okay,” you exhale nervously, biting your lip. I need to think.
You know yourself.
You’re selfish at times, who isn’t? If it really came down to it though, you know you’d always put someone else’s life over your own. You can talk big, you can snort when you watch a movie and say ‘yeah sorry, they’d be stuck on their own. I’m not dying in a situation like that, I’d wanna go home’. But you know yourself enough to know that despite thinking it, your feet would inevitably turn towards the other person. Maybe you’d die in the end but you know you’d try your damnedest to get them out.
Why else would you put yourself on the line fighting curses?
But I’d like to think that in a life or death fight where it’s me or them, I’d choose me. You shake your head pushing the thought to the side. You almost forgot the most important detail. Your killer will be someone who matters to you. But I won’t be mad about it. If it was life or death, I’d choose me. I know that. Stranger on the street or a lifelong sworn enemy. And I know if I was killed by someone, I’d definitely be bitter about it. I’m not that forgiving.
Future you isn’t in agreement. Your eyes turn to the ground.
Is it a life or death fight situation or an accident? You open your mouth briefly before closing it again.
They’re precious to me.
They’re someone I care about.
But I won’t be angry.
I mustn’t have been trying that hard then, you wet your lips as a light bulb flickers deeply in the recesses of your mind. You couldn’t have been. How else could your future self’s lack of anger be justified? One day, there will be someone you care for so greatly that even in a life or death battle, you’d still choose them.
You raise your head to look into dark green eyes dancing with amusement, a grin accompanying them. The grin morphs from clear to distorted at the welling of tears in your eyes. I wasn’t trying. “I must really love this person, don’t I?”
Takamatsu's grin grows even wider, eyes flashing in pleasant surprise. “Yeah,” he leans against the wall, crossing his arms. “It seems like you do.”
Tears roll down your cheeks like streams into a river yet your arms hang loosely at your side. “That’s three questions then,” you murmur, throat constricting. You inhale slowly, hold your breath and release before wiping your eyes. “Thank you for answering my questions, Mr. Takamatsu. Lunch is gonna be over soon, so I’m gonna go finish eating now.”
You bow before turning on your heel back to your class, your classmates are still there. You don’t really care to receive their pity or empathy.
“I’m gonna die, it’s gonna suck and that’s all he really told me,” you say before anyone can ask. You bite into your egg harshly.
.
It’s hours after classes have ended for the day and you’re cooking in the communal kitchen when you see Gojou again.
“Hey,” Gojou says and his tone is so serious it startles you. You set your knife down on the cutting board before looking at him. His face doesn’t seem right to you and it dawns on you a second later it’s because he’s frowning and it’s not the usual childish frown you’re used to seeing. “Don’t take what that guy said seriously. Like I said, he’s an asshole. He was probably saying all of that to freak you out.” There’s a pause and Gojou scratches the back of his head, looking uncomfortable in his skin. “So don’t, like, cry about it. Takamatsu’s a prick.”
“Are you,” you squint, looking Gojou over suspiciously. “Trying to make me feel better or something in your own weird Gojou way?”
“Someone has to make sure the class baby isn’t drowning in their sorrows,” Gojou returns to his usual brand of cocky, with a grin. His sunglasses slide down, revealing playful eyes.
“I don’t want the comfort then,” you roll your eyes and return to chopping your vegetables. “Besides, I don’t need it anyways, I’m strong”
“Eeeeh.”
Asshole.
“There’s different kinds of strong, you jackass,” you argue for argument’s sake. You vaguely notice that in spite of your annoyance, your shoulders aren’t stiff and your jaw is loose. Apparently Gojou is good for something, after all. “Strong looks different for different people. A kid is strong when they act tough after tripping. A grown man crying and being open with his emotions is strong,” you recount some of the ways you’ve seen people be strong in your life. You’ve witnessed strength in various ways in your 15 years of living. “... Even just living despite how hard it can be is strong.”
Save for the sound of you cutting green celery and the light simmer of the pan, silence falls over the two of you.
“What did you guys talk about when he said you could ask him questions?”
“... nothing important.”
[2006. Tokyo Metropolitan Curse Technical College ー 2nd year]
You’re 16 and you’re still alive and kicking.
You’re an upperclassman now, not that it means anything when there are still two whole grades of jujutsu schooling ahead of you. Still, you welcome the newfound responsibilities and admiration you receive in going up a level. At least, one of your underclassmen seems to admire you. Haibara Yuu does, though you’re pretty sure he adores Suguru even more. Nanami Kento is nice though, albeit a bit reserved.
The three of them are like you, individuals scouted into the world of curses and sorcerers rather than born into it. It’s nice to know you’re not alone in that sense.
Even if they weren’t, however, you’re sure that Gojou’s presence would find a way to override any sort of 'being alone'. You can’t be alone when he’s around even if you want to.
Gojou is just as annoying as he was when you were first years, but he’s surprisingly more tolerable.
He still bothers you whenever he has the chance and he still refers to you as the ‘class baby’. You’d also be lying to yourself if you said his hubris has gone down since you first met. He’s just as smug as he’s always been but it’s a bit easier seeing the charm in it in your second year compared to your first.
So maybe ー in the absolute loosest sense of the word ー the two of you have become friends. Something like it at least.
This is why you don’t mind it when the boy plops his ass on your desk when you’re trying to read the recent volume of Fruits Basket to tell you about his newest feats he accomplished on his most recent mission. Nor do you mind it much when he follows you to the dorms to continue telling you what feels like an exaggerated tale, but you know Gojou’s abilities enough to know that 99% percent of it is true.
“So yeah,” he finishes with an air of satisfaction, nose pointing towards the sky with pride. “You could say that Suguru really didn’t even need to come, I pretty much crushed it by myself.”
You’re pretty sure if Suguru was here, Gojou would be in a headlock. “Better not let your bestie catch you saying that,” you warn playfully.
“Come on, [First],” Gojou beams broadly with no care in the world. “Isn’t this the part where you’re supposed to praise me?”
You shake your head in bemusement, smiling lightly. “I can admit it, I’m impressed,” your words are genuine. With all the blessings he has in the world, being strong is the standard for your classmate. He’s a natural talent to boot. Yet for all his nonchalance, you can give credit where credit is due. The guy works hard to perfect his techniques and he’s a perpetual motion machine when it comes to improvement. “Good job, Gojou, you’ve worked really hard. I’m happy you’re seeing the payoff.”
It takes you a second to realize that you’re walking by yourself and you turn around, eyebrow quirked. “What’s up?” Gojou doesn’t respond immediately and you have no idea what his eyes look like beneath the sunglasses. “Hey are you alright?”
The boy comes to at your prodding, sauntering after you lazily, “nothing, nothing,” Gojou replies smoothly with a grin. “I am pretty great, huh?”
“Don’t ruin the moment, Gojou,” you give him a light shove that barely moves him an inch. Geez he’s a giant, you won’t be surprised if in the future he’s taller than even Yaga.
“Since I’m working so hard, do you think you could make me a congratulatory lunch tomorrow?” You’re pretty sure he isn’t serious. Or at the very least you’re sure Gojou expects your answer to be negative. You never cook for him, the closest he ever gets is pilfering samples of it before you chase him out of the kitchen. “Just ki-”
“Sure, what do you want?”
With near comedic timing, Gojou’s shades slide down the bridge of his nose and his eyes are wide in astonishment. “Seriously?”
Your grin widens, “I can change my mind if you-”
“No, no, no! No take backs allowed, [First]!” Gojou covers your mouth with a large palm. “I’m putting in my special requests!”
You move his hand from your mouth with a sage nod, “then please make your requests, young pupil, I’ll prepare you a feast of feasts!” Gojou opens his mouth promptly, giddy. “Within reason.”
You snicker when he whines about the unfairness of your new stipulations.
It takes a week before lunch becomes dinner too.
Gojou’s nice sometimes, you can admit.
And maybe you can also admit that you are ー in more than the loosest sense of the word ー actually friends. A friend whose status as a special grade sorcerer is something you can be proud of rather than annoyed by. He’s reckless and sometimes that recklessness gets him in trouble, but still you enjoy his company when you have it. Even if sometimes he gets you in trouble because of his shenanigans. Or even when he is annoying Utahime whom he is presently taunting in favor of saying her partner for this mission is stronger than she is.
“Mei Mei,” you wave your fingers daintily at the strong partner in question. “Finally gonna let me take you out some time?” You’re mostly joking. 5% at least. Beautiful as she is, Mei Mei isn’t really your type.
The blue-haired sorcerer laughs lightly, crossing her arms, “I’ll have to warn you that my dinners aren’t cheap.”
“Worry not, I’m an amazing cook,” you’re barely able to wink in the money-loving sorcerer’s direction when Gojou’s lanky arm is thrown over your shoulder and he saunters over to a distressed Utahime. “What the heck!”
“Check out how the path Utahime walked on is falling apart,” Gojou snickers.
“Oh shut up,” Suguru looks far too pleased to actually mean his words though.
For Utahime’s sake, you fight back the urge to giggle at their tomfoolery. You like Utahime, you bonded in your first year over finding Gojou Satoru’s presence an annoyance. You’ve sadly, however, become a bit of a traitor to your Hating Gojou Alliance, much to her dismay when you confessed months prior that you and Gojou had become chill.
“By the way,” Mei Mei brings the conversation back to a reasonable plane. “Where’s the veil?”
Gojou’s nice sometimes, you can admit. And maybe you can also admit that you are ー in more than the loosest sense of the word ー actually friends. A friend you can be proud of. A friend whose company you enjoy even if sometimes he gets you in trouble because of his shenanigans.
Like the fact you somehow forgot to put up the veil?! How the hell do you forget to put up the veil?! Nevermind the fact you technically forgot too, Gojou was the one who said he’d put it up. That’s why you have no problem pointing in his direction when Yaga sternly asks who was the Forget Futaba in your band.
“Is a veil that necessary in the first place,” Gojou whines in the gym later in the afternoon. “It’s not like it matters if normies see or not, right? They can’t see cursed spirits or cursed techniques anyway.”
“Pretty sure it’s for the best that normal people don’t start seeing spontaneously exploding buildings on the regular, Gojou,” you watch with an impressed whistle at how your classmate tosses a basketball effortlessly to a hoop. You’re sure if Suguru hadn’t stopped it, the ball would have been a perfect three pointer.
“Of course it’s not good for them to see,” Suguru affirms your words resolutely. “The strongest deterrent against the outbreak of cursed spirits is the mental calm of the populace.” It becomes a battle of the philosophies when Gojou steals the ball back with finesse.
“Looking out for the weak is so exhausting, honestly,” Gojou sighs and Suguru shoots back with narrowed eyes 'Survival of the Weakest'. “Assigning reasons and responsibility to strength is what those who are weak do.”
Should we…? You glance at Shoko.
Yeah, we probably should. The brunette glances back.
“Time to dip,” Shoko sprints out of the gymnasium faster than you’ve ever seen her.
“I’ve got a pretty wild date with Battle Royale right now,” you skip after her in a hurry right as Suguru summons one of his cursed spirits like it's a pokemon.
The next time you see Gojou, he knocks and enters your room when you go ‘huh?’ “Yo, I’ve got a mission.”
“Already?” You raise an eyebrow. “We just got back from the Mei Mei and Utahime thing.”
“Yeah,” he sighs. “ Teach says we have to protect the star plasma vessel.”
“That information got leaked?”
“Wait, you know what the star plasma vessel is?”
“Tengen stuff is, like, the bare minimum of stuff we should have learned about in first year, Gojou.”
“... anyways, Suguru and I are heading out early tomorrow,” he says, like what you told him moments prior wasn’t anything important.
You smile with pride, “well, that’s a pretty big mission for a couple of students to have,” it really is, honestly. If anything, that’s something you think the adults should have. It’s pretty cool that two of your classmates were chosen for it. “That’s cool. You should be really proud of yourself, Gojou.”
Your words get his lips to morph into a smile a bit more authentic and veritable than his usual smug grins and confident jeers. “I am pretty cool, huh?”
You roll your eyes in good fun before looking at your book again. Your favorite character's dead but you at least wanna see who gets off this shitty island. “Y’all not still fighting about earlier are you?”
“Nah, we’re over it,” Gojou sits at a chair by your bedside desk, swirling in it. “It’s whatever in the end. Suguru can believe whatever he wants.” A silence somewhere between comfortable but hesitant falls over you briefly before Gojou asks, “you believe that stuff he was saying too?”
“Dunno, you’re probably asking the wrong person,” you turn the page with a shrug. It’s been nearly a year since you met Takamatsu Akira. Nearly a year since you were told someone you loved would kill you in the worst way possible and yet you’d have no anger in your heart about it. The future is technically always changing. It’s never stagnant. If you wanted, you could take what the seer said to heart and run with your tail between your legs. Yet here you were, laid on your stomach reading Battle Royale in your room located in Tokyo Metropolitan Curse Technical College instead of elsewhere; living in perpetual paranoia about any relationship you have. “The weak’s the majority, they need protection. It should be the duty of the strong to protect them. But… I can also get the exhaustion. If you’re the strongest, who’s gonna protect you then?”
You close your mouth and purse your lips thoughtfully and vaguely you find it a bit amazing that Gojou hasn’t made any sort of quip yet.
“But… I guess I probably align myself more with Suguru’s line of thinking,” you decide after a heartbeat. “I’m the one who’s gonna die in the most horrible way possible, remember? But here I am, still kickin’ it here with you guys. I should probably run while I have the chance, huh?”
“I already told you not to listen to that crap,” you look away from your book, surprised at the harshness in Gojou’s tone. Your eyes look into angry azure and you glance away just as quickly. “That guy’s a prick. There’s no point in listening to him. So quit worrying your pretty little head about that. You’re supposed to be strong, right?”
Your eyes skim over your book, not sure what else to settle your eyes on. “Yeah,” you whisper. “I’m pretty strong, I guess.”
That appears to be the right answer. “Exactly, so stop giving that stuff he said the time of day.”
You chuckle, “yeah you’re right, sorry,” ‘I’m always right’ Gojou says flippantly and you find your head shaking with a warmth settling in your chest. “Grab me a souvenir or two while you’re gone, Mr. Special Grade.”
“I’m not leaving Tokyo, you know,” Gojou tosses a crumpled piece of paper at your head.
“So?” You toss the paper back, watching as it bounced off his infinity. Cheater. “Grab me something extra nice anyways! I deserve it as payback for cooking for you all the time, you eat like a horse.”
The mission goes horribly wrong.
Shoko tells you over a phone call that the mission went horribly wrong in all the worst ways. Suguru was injured. Gojou was dead.
Parts of campus look like it was hit by a tornado when you get there, out of breath, lungs screaming but you still push through it to get Suguru’s room banging on the door. “Su-”
“Satoru’s okay,” is the first thing out of his mouth when he opens the door and your knees almost buckle in your relief. “He’s alive. He was injured but he’s alive. He’s in his room, right now.”
He’s okay.
He’s okay.
Your breath is shaky as you let your friend’s words permeate through your entire being. “That,” you lick your lips, holding yourself. “That’s good.” It’s all you can say although it doesn’t encompass even a tenth of the emotion you feel. “I’m glad you’re both alright.” The quiet is almost deafening; what do you say to ease the hurt when the mission went wrong in every way it could have? “I’m gonna start cooking in an hour or two. I’ll bring you something to eat later, any requests?”
“It’s okay,” Suguru’s smile is small but polite. “I’m not that hungry. Maybe Satoru’ll eat something.” The door closes promptly before you can ask if your friend is sure he doesn’t want anything. I’ll check on you again later, I promise.
Your nerves are frazzled when your eyes sweep over to the door that leads to Gojou’s room, hardly able to make yourself move towards it.
“He was injured but he’s alive.”
How injured is injured?
Has he gone to see Shoko?
“Gojou?” Your knock is barely audible.
You knock once more with a soft confidence.
“Satoru?” Your voice falters, just above being a whisper. “Hey, it’s me. I know you probably don’t want to talk right now but I just want you to know I’m here and I’m not going anywhere. If you wanna talk, I’m just down the hall, okay?” You pause, ears straining to hear anything on the other side of the door. You’re met with silence. “Get some rest. I’ll bring you dinner later, alright?”
With a sigh, you turn around to go to your room only for your heart to leap out of your chest when you realize someone is already in it. You jump, clutching your chest when you realize it’s Satoru, sitting on your bed with his back slumped against the wall.
He looks like hell and impossibly small wrapped in your blanket. Russet stains his white locks that are even messier than usual and his eyes have a chilling emptiness to them. He doesn’t meet your eyes, you aren’t sure if he has the will to. You don’t have the will to say anything despite the thoughts running through your head.
Wordlessly, Satoru raises the blanket in an invitation. Like he’s welcoming you through a barrier.
So wordlessly, you sit on your bed and nestle beside him. You don’t mind the scent of sweat, blood and dirt. Nor do you mind when the tall and lanky teen slumps against your side, resting his head atop yours. You simply find his hand and brush your fingers together, feeling the roughness of his callouses, before twining your fingers with his.
You clutch each other’s hands almost painfully.
[2007. Tokyo Metropolitan Curse Technical College ー 3rd year]
It’s you, isn’t it?
You realize that one day Satoru is going to kill you on a rainy night in December in your room laying on your bed. The two of you had taken to sharing a space on nights you felt lonely since you were 16 and the star plasma vessel mission went wrong in every way possible. Last week, you both turned 18.
Another year has past and you're still alive and kicking.
You’re facing each other, your head resting on your hand with your elbow angled to keep your head up.
“You won’t leave too, right?” Satoru asks softly, fingers messing with a stray string on your shirt.
Suguru’s gone. So is Haibara.
Both are gone in different ways.
Death is what took Haibara, leaving Nanami Jujutsu Tech’s sole second year.
Suguru was swallowed in madness and disillusionment, defecting to accomplish a new goal of creating a world with only jujutsu sorcerers.
It stings, but you know Satoru is hurt the most.
“It’s unfortunate to tell you but you’re pretty much stuck with me, Satoru,” you give him a weak nudge with your free hand.
“Even though Takamatsu said you’re going to die?”
“We’re all gonna die someday,” you tell him easily. It’s you. You aren’t sure how you’re able to smile like you aren’t having the worst realization in the world but you smile. “Besides, you’re the one who said not to worry about that, right? Because I’m strong.”
“Yeah,” Satoru whispers. “You’re strong.”
“And you’re the strongest sorcerer in the world,” you remind him unnecessarily. It is an inherent fact of the world. Gojou Satoru, born only two days before you came into this world, shook the entire world when he was born.
“And because you’re the strongest, that’s why I have to stay with you,” you run your fingers through his hair gently. When is he going to do it? When is everything going to go wrong? You want to remember every feature he has before you one day have no choice but to leave them behind. “Who’s going to protect you otherwise?”
Satoru smiles for the first time that night, looking up at you almost dreamily from where he lays. “You’re gonna protect me?”
“Yeah,” you vow sincerely.
[2008. Tokyo Metropolitan Curse Technical College ー 4th year]
“Happy birthday to us, happy birthday to us,” Satoru sings crudely while you roll your eyes. It’s technically neither of your birthdays. It’s the 8th, the one day mid-point between your birthdays. The Official ‘Satoru-[First]’ Birthday Bash Celebration. Contrast to your first year as a student at Jujutsu Tech, you find yourself in a more pleasant mood about it. “Happy birthday to the both of us, happy birthday to us!”
“Isn’t it a bit too early to sing,” you shake your head with a chuckle.
“Early shmurly,” Satoru shrugs off your nonchalant concern like water off a duck’s back. You can’t bring yourself to scold him. “They throw us a surprise party every year. It’s not even a surprise if we know it’s coming. They always make us wait all day in class or tell us to leave campus though.”
“It’s part of the atmosphere, Satoru. Tradition!” You grin, giving his leg a light flick as he plops his ass right on top of your desk. “We gotta wait and act completely oblivious to everything until someone tells us to head to the dorms.”
It’s nice to see him smiling. It’s his second birthday without his best friend. A fact that will always resonate through your reality like ripples through the water.
“You’ll like my gift the best by the way,” you tell him with a self-assured confidence.
“Funny, I was about to say that to you,” Satoru winks, leg swinging lazily. He’s not wearing his sunglasses for onceー they’re off to the side resting on the teacher’s podium. “Of course, my gifts are always the best.”
A comfortable silence fills the room and you close your eyes.
Tomorrow you turn 19 and you’re still alive and kicking.
Moments like this make it hard to believe that one day you won’t be. Sometimes you wonder what would happen if you told Satoru the truth of everything Takamatsu told you that day. You consider telling him this very moment, eyes resting on his face. He's smiling gently to himself, thinking about something unknown to you.
He’s so beautiful it makes you want to cry.
“Hey,” you can barely hear yourself.
“Hmm?” Satoru looks at you, lips upturned in a mellow, peaceful expression.
“We should get married.”
One second passes,
two seconds.
“Yeah, we should,” Satoru nods, seemingly enchanted.
You blink dumbly, “what?”
“Let’s do it,” Satoru repeats himself purposefully. “Let’s get married.”
“... Satoru, I was 60% joking when I said that,” you don’t even know why that’s what came out of your mouth.
In spite of your attempt to brush him off, Satoru stands to his feet all the more determined. His large hands cup yours gently as he pulls you into standing with him. “And I’m being 100% serious,” he means it, you can see it in his eyes. They’re more clear than any lake you’ve seen. “Let’s get married. We can go after your birthday.”
“Satoru, we’re high schoolers,” you try reasoning.
“We’re old enough to get married in this country.”
Despite that fact, you shake your head again, “we’re not getting married in high school.”
“Then we can tie the knot after we graduate,” Satoru decides like that’s the only issue at present.
“Fresh out of high school?”
“Fresh out of high school,” he affirms. “We can have a big wedding just like in the movies. Whatever you want. We’ve already got the headstart on the kids with that Zenin kid and his sister.”
You find yourself laughing unexpectedly at the absurdity, at the certainty. “Satoru.”
“[First].”
“Your clan is not gonna be happy with you marrying some jujutsu nobody,” you tell him.
“Like I care what a bunch of old farts think.”
“I’m pretty sure your parents aren’t gonna like me.”
“I’ll love you enough to make up for it,” Satoru rests his forehead on yours. That motion alone damn near breaks your heart. “I wanna marry you, [First].”
“Yeah,” you sniff. This boy who is quickly becoming a man in front of your very eyes is beautiful enough to make you cry. “Let’s get married.”
For a smile so small, it beams like a thousand suns, “Right after we graduate?”
“Right after we graduate.”
“Even if you think my parents aren’t gonna like you?”
“Screw ‘em. I’ll love you more than enough to make up for it.”
One day Gojou Satoru is going to kill you.
You don’t know what will lead you down the path of finding yourself on the opposing side of the boy you’ve grown to love. You don’t know whether it will be a death that’s accidental or as intentional as Suguru’s defection from your organization.
So many unknowns, yet the fact remains the sameー one day you’re going to die and it’s going to be Satoru that sends you to the other side. You let him kiss you despite that fact.
It’s you.
You know it in your heart.
Because if someone were to ask you if Gojou Satoru was precious enough to you that you wouldn’t bear any anger towards him for killing you, you knew what your answer would be in a heartbeat.
Yes, you kiss him tenderly, holding his face in your hands while your heart cupped the precious memories you shared. Memories you would never allow yourself to forget. The halcyon days of past, present and future. He is.
[20xx. kuzuivencdcsusahduvtaydr ー ???? oayn]
It’s snowing in Tokyo, a lot of it.
That’s not common for the area of Japan you live in.
Maybe Tokyo will see one or two days of light snowfall, but it’s almost never enough to cloak the city like this. That’s why it’s a perfect day for a snowball fight and it is perfect, save for the fact that Satoru is definitely cheating.
His tosses may be light but the jerk still has on his infinity, your snow dissipating in powdery puffs whenever it hits the barrier keeping him perpetually safe.
You can’t stop yourself from giggling though, even as he pelts you with an unfair barrage of snow.
The laugh is barreling from your form even more when Satoru rushes you out of nowhere, the largest snowball you’ve ever seen in his hands laughing like he’s five. Your fall is softened by the snow underneath you, barely even much of a drop, and Satoru’s on top of you with his legs on either side of your torso.
He’s merciful enough not to slam dunk his snowball of fury into your face though.
“Okay, okay, you win!” You laugh good naturedly. “Please, Gojou Satoru, I yield!” Despite your words, your hand is working quickly on the side to form a snowball. He’s touching you, you can feel the warmth of his legs on either side of you. His infinity’s down then. You open your eyes mischievously, bracing yourself for a toss when you feel something warm fall onto your face.
One drop,
two drops.
Your breath falters.
“Why are you crying, Satoru?”
It occurs to you then in all your years of knowing him, you’ve never seen Satoru cry. Yet there he is, right atop you, holding the world’s largest snowball in his trembling arms. All the while, tears are running down his face, flowing from those beautiful eyes of his. Those eyes filled with a greater sadness than you’ve ever seen as he looks at you.
The snowball you were clutching drops from your hand immediately in your concern, “hey what’s wrong?”
Satoru doesn’t answer you. Instead, the strongest sorcerer in the world drapes himself over you with body-wracking sobs. The snowball he was holding has disappeared to who knows where, his hands now clutching the front of your jacket tightly. Satoru’s only response is his body-wracking sobs, his knuckles painfully white. He sobs, sobs and sobs like you’ve never seen before.
Slowly, you bring your arms up to hug him and nuzzle the top of his hair that matches the snow around you. “It’s okay,” you whisper to the boy crying in your arms. You smile softly and you close your eyes once more. “It’s okay,” you tell him again. “I'll protect you.”
i was inspired by chainsaw man with the idea of a future devil sorcerer and a reader who shares the same fate as aki
*bonus note: also in japan, the legal age marrying age for women is 16 and men is 18, i heard from a prof they're working on changing that but at least during the setting the time of the fic that is still the same so hence why you'd both be of marrying age despite still being students
*final note: i am a huge final fantasy nerd and the final chapter is written in al bhed, a language from final fantasy x. feel free to use this translator

Chapter Two
(Prev//Next) (@starillusion13 @salfetkablog @youngunknownwitch)
Prompt: With omegas completely removed from society, they needed their own communities and institutions to grow. All your life you had lived and gone to school alongside your fellow omegas, and orphaned alphas. You had managed to keep yourself together, but now at the university level, keeping your secret had grown impossible. You had to face your fears and make friends with an alpha eventually, and now was the time.
“What happens now?”
You were still processing. The secret you had been keeping for years now had finally come to light. You always feared for this day, but now that it’s finally come to pass you weren’t sure what came next.
“Our first priority is identifying the guilty party.” Headmaster Shim stated. “And you will need to assist us with that.”
“I… I don’t know… I never saw any faces…”
“You may not be able to identify faces, but scents are unique.”
“I don’t remember those either…”
“Maybe not consciously, but in your subconscious you know who hurt you.”
“But… but…”
“How exactly are you going to do… whatever this is?” Jisung questioned.
“I have no intention of putting miss y/n in any sort of danger. All that is needed is her sense of smell.”
“And once you identify those assholes? What happens to them?”
“Simple. They’ll be expelled, and it will be noted in their profiles that they were removed from the OCPD training program.”
“I’m sure that’s gonna hurt…”
“It would be quite a stain on their reputation, not to mention the prison time.”
“Prison?” You whispered. “They’ll be arrested?”
“Harming an omega is a serious crime. Perhaps if this was reported initially things would be easier but that’s not the case.” The headmaster took a moment. “Come see me tomorrow after your classes, both of you, and we’ll proceed.”
“Okay…”
Jisung helped you leave the office, keeping you close. Once outside he took you to the nearest bathroom and then you collapsed in his arms.
“… jisung…”
“I got you, it’s okay.” Jisung held you close. “Everything’s okay, the hard part is over.”
“… what did I do…”
“Nothing, you did nothing wrong. It’s okay, you’re okay.”
You and Jisung stayed put for a while until you calmed down. Afterwards you returned to the dorm, and you turned in for the day. You needed rest, especially considering what awaited you the next day. You almost didn’t want to get out of bed but Jisung got you up in the morning. At the end of your last class he was there to meet you. It was obvious you weren’t looking forward to this, but you couldn’t run away. When you got to the office the secretary escorted you elsewhere, to the infirmary. The nurse there gave you something, telling you that it would help relax you. Once the medicine began to kick in you felt dizzy, and Jisung laid you down on the bed. He kept a hold of your hand, assuring you he wasn’t going anywhere.
As the headmaster had told you, even if you didn’t remember much from that day, deep down you knew the truth. A blind fold was placed on you and then different scent marked items were presented to you. They were all the scents of an alpha, but Jisung and the secretary were well aware you had a much worse reaction to a handful of them. You wouldn’t really remember this, so that was for the best. Afterwards you were allowed to stay in the infirmary until you had your senses back. The world was still spinning, but you felt like you had taken some kind of weird nap. You were glad to see Jisung was still with you.
“Jisung… is it over?”
“Yup. You did great.”
For days after that there were whispers around the school over a mass expulsion from the freshmen alpha. Many wondered what had happened, but this wasn’t going to be kept secret. The school had made an announcement on the matter, letting everyone know that the students who were expelled were not fit to be agents, and went against what they were supposed to do. Some still had trouble believing anyone here would ever hurt an omega, but it was something the grounded everyone. With the truth out in the open you did feel this weight off your shoulders, and you felt safer, but there was more to this.
Once you had recovered from the initial ordeal, now it was time for the next step. You had to socialize with an alpha. The set up was simple, like being in a study room, but more private. Of course Jisung joined you, and always would be present for these sessions, but it didn’t make you any less nervous. You had chosen the alpha, but at the end of the day you really didn’t know him much. Now was the time to learn more about him, but you knew it wasn’t going to be an easy process on your end.
“Hello.” Chan entered the room shyly. “It’s nice to see you again. I should properly introduce myself this time. My name is Christopher Bang, but my friends just call me Chan.”
Chan politely held his hand out to you, but you couldn’t bring yourself to take it. He didn’t take offense to it, understanding your situation, so he just took a seat.
“I should also apologize for my actions. I didn’t mean to frighten you that day. I thought I was helping, and I’m sorry I didn’t really pay attention and listen to what you needed.”
“… I understand…”
“Why don’t you introduce yourself too.” Jisung suggested. “I already know both of you, and you two are the ones properly meeting today.”
“Right… I… I’m y/n…”
“It’s nice to meet you.” Chan smiled. “I hope we can get along.”
“… yeah… uh… can… can I ask you something?”
“Sure. Go ahead.”
“... why… where… uh…”
“It’s okay, I won’t get upset or anything. Ask whatever you want.”
“… just… tell me about yourself…”
“Ah, well I am an orphan like you. I always liked looking after others, so when I was given the option to become an agent I took it. I’m very sorry about what happened to you.”
“…”
“May I ask something?”
“… yes…”
“Why did you choose me for this? I know I might be better than some stranger, but given how we met I wouldn’t think you’d want anything to do with me.”
“… well… despite what happened, I know you were just trying to help… and that was nice… Jisung also trusts you, and I trust him.”
“I see. I’m glad to hear something good came out of our first encounter.
You had daily sessions, slowly getting to know one another at your own pace and comfort. It got to a point where you brought your assignments, being used to his presence now. Of course Jisung and Chan shared a career, so they had much to talk about, leaving you a bit excluded, but you didn’t mind. You got to hear about what they were studying, and it was quite intriguing. At one point you asked Chan why he wanted to pursue music, and he told you about the messages and emotions it could express. That prompted him to bring over his guitar the next time, playing you some songs and teaching you a few chords.
He took it slow with teaching you. It started with sitting across from you, and slowly inching himself forward. When he was able to stand behind you and guide your hands with his own, he knew you were comfortable with him. Of course he wasn’t gonna bring attention to it or mention it, just moving slowly to continue this progress. He was practically hugging you from behind, and he wasn’t picking up any anxiety. You hadn’t noticed, but you knew that you were comfortable with Chan. You enjoyed these little sessions, but you had no idea that there was more to this.
“Y/n.”
“Hm?”
“I want to congratulate you on making good progress.”
“Me?”
“Yes, you. You’ve been doing great. You’re not scared of me anymore, are you?”
“No… not really…”
“I can tell, and that’s great.”
“Thank you…”
“Can I hold your hand?”
Chan placed his hand on the table, offering you a kind smile. You glanced over at Jisung who also gave you a smile. You slowly reached over and took Chan’s hand, feeling his warmth.
“See, you’re doing great.”
“… I am…”
“Since you’re doing so well, it’s time we move on to the next step.”
“What?”
You immediately pulled your hand away from Chan, looking over at Jisung, but he seemed to be just as confused as you.
“Next step?” Jisung questioned. “What’s that?”
“Well, y/n’s gotten used to me in this room, but things need to go beyond here. So we’re gonna be moving into a dorm together.”
“What?”
“That’s not a good idea.” You said. “I… I don’t…”
“I know it sounds scary, but it’s gonna be alright. You’re not nervous around me anymore, so we’re just trying to get you to be comfortable with me in a more natural setting.”
“Do… do I have to?”
“It’s the next step, yes, but Jisung will be moving in with us as well.”
“I am?”
“Of course. You and y/n are a package deal.”
“Ah, see, it’s gonna be okay.” Jisung assured. “It’s more like he’s moving in with us, but obviously we need more space. You’re still gonna have your own room and everything, and you’ll still have me there with you.”
“… okay…”
You didn’t like the idea, but you couldn’t just run away. It was gonna take a few days to pack up and move, but Jisung was right there with you every step of the way. The two of you moved into the new dorm first, amazed by how much more space you had now. It was more like a proper apartment building with its own kitchen and dining table, a living room, two bathrooms, and multiple rooms. Jisung let you pick your room first and then choose a room next to yours. Once you had settled, Chan began to move in. You stayed in your room all day when he came, and honestly tried to avoid him at first.
He didn’t complain about your actions. Instead he also tried to keep to himself as much as he could, not wanting his scent to be all over the place. This was your home first and foremost. You appreciated that, and once you were aware it made it easier to be around the dorm. It almost felt like starting again. Chan would always check in if it was okay to be near you, and slowly you did grow more comfortable that he didn’t have to ask. Once that line had been crossed it was easier to just hang out like friends. You even went back to a similar gathering like before. You’d all do assignments together with the TV playing in the background. Now that you were further into the semester, and had Chan as a friend you realized you could ask him something that had been on your mind.
“Chan…”
“Hm?”
“Can I ask you something?”
“Sure. What’s up?”
“Why does the OCPD exist?”
“Oh… uh…” Chan laughed nervously. “Truth is… I don’t know…”
“… you… you don’t? But you’re gonna be an agent? That doesn’t make sense…”
“Well, I don’t know yet.”
“Yet?”
“Yeah. Us agents have learned about the history of the OCPD but we’re aware that something is missing. The real reason why the department was created.”
“Oh…”
“Whatever it is, it must be serious. We gotta prove that we’re capable of being good agents. So that means a lot of tests and studying before we get to know the truth.”
“That explains why they expelled those other alphas.” Jisung commented. “They didn’t know the big secret yet. I wonder what would have happened if they did…”
“You don’t have to worry about that.” Chan assured. “I’m gonna be a good agent.”
You were a bit sad that Chan couldn’t answer you, but it made the whole situation all the more intriguing. So only the adults, the actual agents and staff knew why the OCPD existed, and none of them were going to tell you anytime soon. Still, at least now you knew you could ask Chan about this when the time came. Until then you could continue going about your days with that reassurance in the back of your mind. By the end of the first semester you could honestly call Chan your friend, and were glad to have him in your life. After exams the three of you stayed up late for a movie night, although you wound up dozing off and falling asleep.
“Jisung…”
“Hm?”
“Sh.”
“Huh?”
“Y/n’s sleeping.”
“Oh…” Jisung looked over at you on the couch. “We should get her to bed.”
“I’ll do it.”
Chan quietly got up, and carefully picked you up in his arms bridal style. You snuggled against him, feeling warm and fuzzy. He looked down at you for a moment, a gentle smile on his face. It was very different to the look of fear he had seen on your face when you first met. He carefully laid you down in bed and tucked you in, watching you for a moment before quietly making his exit. He returned to the living room with Jisung, plopping down on the couch next to him and grabbing some popcorn.
“How is she?”
“What do you mean?” Jisung questioned.
“You’ve known y/n for years, how is she? Now that I’m around.”
“It took her some getting used to, but she seems to be back to her old self. You’re doing great, and she’s happy, so that’s what matters most.”
“I’m glad to hear.”
The two continued with their movie night. Jisung got up to get a refill of popcorn when he noticed a certain scent in the air. At that moment Chan did as well, a bit confused by it.
“What is that?”
“It’s y/n, she’s having a nightmare.”
Jisung ran over to your room with Chan right behind him, although before he could open the door Chan stopped him.
“Ya! We need to wake her up.”
“Does this happen often?”
“Not often, but it’s not unusual.”
“Do you usually just wake her up?”
“Obviously! Now let go!”
“Wait, let me try something different.”
“Huh?”
“Just trust me.”
Jisung stepped back and let Chan go in first. He followed behind, watching as the other carefully crawled onto the bed, pulling you into his arms.
“Sh, sh, it’s okay, everything’s okay.”
Chan gently rocked you, trying to calm your whimpers and squirming. After a moment you seemed to calm down, relaxing into his arms.
“Woah… you did it.”
“Alphas should be able to soothe an omega.”
“Well, good job.”
“Yeah, just one problem.”
“What?”
“She won’t let go.”
“Oh… you could-”
“It’s fine. I’ll stay with her and slip away when I have a chance.”
“You sure?”
“Yeah. I just hope she doesn’t get mad at me tomorrow.”
“I doubt it, you’re a good alpha.”
“I hope so. You should get some sleep.”
“I know. Good luck then.”
“Good night, Jisung.”
“Night.”
♥♥♥♥♥
You snuggled against your pillow, slowly starting to wake. Although as you regained your senses you realized your pillow wasn’t that soft. You opened your eyes and screamed, moving back and ultimately falling off your bed. Your shouting had woken up Chan, and he groggily sat up on your bed looking around. When his eyes found you he became wide awake. He quickly got off the bed and went to look you over.
“Are you okay? Does anything hurt?”
Both of you felt a sense of deja vu over the scene. Except this time around you weren’t afraid of him. Instead of panicking you found yourself giggling, making him smile and relax as well. You grabbed his hands, gently playing with them.
“I’m okay.” You assured Chan. “But what are you doing here?”
“You were having a bad dream… I was just trying to help, did you sleep okay?”
“Yeah, yeah I did… it was very nice…”
“That’s good to hear. Although I am sorry, I didn’t mean to scare you. The idea was to slip away when you let go, but I fell asleep too…”
“Ah, that explains it. Thanks… you’re doing a good job as an alpha.”
“Am I?”
“You’ll be a good agent.”

Hell's Paradise brainrot is strong and there are no tickle headcanons for the Yamada Asaemon so tadaa
disclaimer: anime only here, so this won't include Jikka, Shugen, Gagaimo or Tsumutsumu
forgive my audacity @giggly-squiggily but you're my hell's paradise friendo so i'm tagging you
¸¸♬·¯·♩¸¸♪·¯·♫¸¸
Yamada Asaemon Eizen
Eizen mein löwe mein bär
doesn't often get involved in tickle shenanigans because he's above that childish nonsense
except when he's not
mostly a ler simply because no one dares to go after him, especially the younger Asaemon are terrified that he just. would not react.
when Eizen steps in it usually means an end to the tickle fight, he'll just grab the culprits and dig into their spots like "Are you gonna behave now?"
not much of a teaser, he'll just straight up go for the kill to 'get it over with'
might give some light cheer up tickles to his favorite students if they really really need it, Sagiri and Senta frequently fell victim to this when they were younger
Shion is the only one who tickles him in private to comfort him or calm him down, it's a rare occasion tho and happens less and less as time passes
he's not that ticklish overall but his ribs and armpits will definitely get a few good cackles out of him and rumor has it Shion even got him to snort once
Yamada Asaemon Shion
the man the myth the legend
you'd think he'd be just as reserved as Eizen but no. oh no.
an absolute tickle monster and a force to be reckoned with
he loves messing with the younger Asaemon by squeezing their sides as he walks by and then pretend like nothing happened and it never fails to make them lose it because it's always out of nowhere
definitely the type to give his students cheer up tickles when they're feeling down
also switches from "try landing a hit on me" to "try tickling me" when they're getting too frustrated about not landing a hit
they also never manage to tickle him but they don't get a chance to be frustrated about that because Shion gets them every time
literally impossible to sneak up on
he's always prepared when someone attacks him and thus everyone has yet to find out that his neck is rather sensitive
Tenza has made it his life's mission to successfully tickle Shion and Shion is thoroughly entertained by the increasingly ridiculous schemes Tenza comes up with to catch him off guard
Yamada Asaemon Senta
on his own Senta is fairly harmless and rather easy to take down compared to his comrades
he's ticklish pretty much anywhere on his upper body, his shoulder blades being his worst spot
the others like to drag him into tickle fights when they think he's distancing himself too much, they sneak up on him when he's spending his break sitting alone and reading instead of eating with them
Sagiri and Tenza are usually the instigators of this and sometimes Kisho joins in to 'show them how it's done'
Senta always squeaks and protests but he doesn't really mind the playful tickles and enjoys goofing off with the others like this
in a group tho? when he's not the one being ganged up on? run.
he's knows everyone's spots and he's keeping NOTES
even the people he's never seen get tickled before, he just straight up deduced their spots from simply observing them
willing to rat out absolutely everyone for a rice ball, this man has zero fucks to give
Eizen actively pays him in calligraphy utensils so Senta won't tell Genji about that awful spot on his lowest rib
Yamada Asaemon Genji
tries to act all stern and serious when a tickle fight breaks out but then someone dares to poke his side and bro is locked in
within the blink of an eye he turns into a pro tickle monster, he has these long arms that are perfect to grab those who are trying to run away
he easily pins down like three people at once and he knows absolutely no mercy, none
just like everything else he takes tickling way too seriously but he has a good sense for when it's enough and always makes sure he doesn't cross any lines
he completely abandons his stoic facade too while wrecking someone and when he's called out on it, he claims it was just to teach his victim a lesson and to strengthen their stamina
no matter how much fun he's having, he won't ever admit it
except when everybody gangs up on him the next day to get him back, then he might be convinced to give in
that's gonna take a lot of effort, despite being pretty ticklish, mainly on his stomach and hips, he can take a lot
also recovers within like three seconds, so whoever dares to tickle him doesn't get much of a headstart, which is why they only do it in a group - if they do, he'll usually go after Fuchi or Tenza and everyone else is safe for now
Yamada Asaemon Fuchi
an absolute menace
"Did you know that this spot tends to be especially sensitive since a lot of nerve endings run together there? Here, let me show you..."
used to have a purely scientific interest in tickle fights, he'd observe everyone's reactions and take notes, doing whole studies on what exactly causes the body to react to the sensation the way it does
after a while he decides he wants to test his own theories and the next time a tickle fight breaks out between Tenza, Sagiri and Genji, he just jumps in and voilà, all of his theories prove to be correct
with the surprise effect on his side and his surperior and super unfair knowledge of the human body, he's surprisingly dangerous despite his height disadvantage
also he's quick, he always wriggles out of grips and dodges all kinds of attacks
the worst part is that he came to find that on top of being very interesting, tickle fights are also fun and he'll just start them out of nowhere if he's bored
people are NOT save, however if they do actually manage to catch him he can easily be brought down by going for his feet
Genji likes holding him up by the ankle to tickle him there and sometimes Fuchi will even willingly surrender to test his theories on himself
Yamada Asaemon Tenza
if Fuchi is a menace, this guy is a nightmare
80% of tickle fights are started by Tenza and 95% of tickle fights are also lost by Tenza
which ofc does not stop Tenza from starting more tickle fights
they're just so much fun and whenever they take a break during training, he's so pumped up from all the adrenaline that he just has to put his energy somewhere
Sagiri is usually the first one he goes for and then it completely escalates as more and more people get involved
he also frequently goes after Genji when he thinks he's being too serious, or Senta and Fuchi when he thinks they're too wrapped up in their books
his favorite victim is Kisho tho, he likes 'turning that frown upside down' and Kisho can't even begin to describe how much he hates that phrase
the downside of all of this is that Tenza is probably the most ticklish out of all the Asaemon and to his great dismay everyone knows exactly where his weakest spots are (his knees kill him)
he always has to keep up his guard around Shion (not that it does anything at the end of the day) and he's a frequent victim of getting ganged up on because people want to take revenge on him
Eizen tickled him once to get him to back off and it spooked him so much that he stopped attacking people for a whole month
Yamada Asaemon Kisho
a shit stirrer, first and foremost
pretends to be annoyed and look down on his comrade's 'silly antics' but really he is probably the worst of them all
the guy to watch someone get tickled and then walk up to them like "Are you really gonna let them do that to you? Don't you wanna get revenge?"
he just loves to add fuel to the fire, he's always lurking around and whispering into people's ears like the little devil on their shoulder
however, he'll 100% get involved if anyone challenges him or claims that his tickling technique is uneffective
spoiler alert, it's extremely effective
unfortunately he's not as sneaky as he thinks he's being and when they're finally done with his bullshit, Senta rats out all of his spots for free
he's very susceptible to the "Don't!" - "Don't what?" and he hates how it really works every bloody time
Tenza tickles him the most and as soon as he's done, Kisho will walk up to Genji and tell him that Tenza made fun of him or smth and then watch from a dark corner how Tenza gets wrecked
don't be fooled by his high horse tho, one squeeze to his hips and he's toast
Yamada Asaemon Sagiri
Sagiri my sun and stars
really needs the tickle fights to loosen up every now and then, it especially helps her to calm down when she's overthinking
is secretly a little grateful to be included whenever Tenza randomly attacks her, she'd never admit that to him tho
used to be really shy about getting tickled in front of the older Asaemon but she learned to have fun no matter who's watching
that being said, she always apologizes for goofing around too much during the breaks in between practice
always gets irritated when the guys go easy on her, Genji especially will sometimes stop wrecking her because he 'can't treat a lady like this' and whenever that happens she strikes back immediately until the tickle fight continues properly
wishes Eizen would still tickle her because it was always just a nice moment between them but she's also too anxious to try and instigate it
likes tickling Senta the most because it's always fun and chill
her sides are her worst spot and Tenza always sneaks up behind her and squeezes which always makes her shriek
during tickle fights is probably the loudest she ever gets
always checks up on people while tickling them so she doesn't overstep any boundaries

inspo by @whumppromptoftheday
[tw past trauma, abandonment, emotional whump, psychological whump, bad caretaker]
"You were never there for me!" Whumpee shouted. "I had to take care of myself my entire life!"
Caretaker didn't retaliate. They both knew it was true, there was no point in arguing about it.
"You were meant to protect me! You were meant to guide me! You were meant to show me the ropes and not– abandon me! You were meant to be there for me!"
Caretaker was surprised Whumpee had even let them inside. They would probably get kicked out any minute now, if they had to guess. Or maybe they should've left on their own — but the thought of abandoning Whumpee a second time without letting them have at least some kind of closure seemed a touch too cruel, even in the face of such blatant disrespect.
"And what, now you want to waltz right back into my life? You're gonna just show up and demand everything continues as always? I'm done. I'm done with you, I'm completely done with you."
They nodded, waiting for the final blow. Get out. Get out and never come back.
But it didn't come.
"You're not gonna say anything?" Whumpee snapped. "You came here to stare at my floor?"
"What is there to say?" Caretaker shrugged a little. "I didn't come here to be yelled at, I actually have things to say. If you're not gonna let me speak, then–"
"That's it?" Oh, they were fuming. "It's my fault for expecting something, I guess. I mean, when did you ever apologise? Or tell me I was right? Of course, of course you'd never. You're too good for that."
"Do you want an empty apology, Whumpee?" The simple question stunned them into a brief moment of silence, and Caretaker took the opportunity to say what they wanted to say. "You were impossible to guide and not worth protecting. At least after I'd left, you got your shit together and tried to become better. And now I'm here. I can guide and protect you, because I do believe you've matured. So will you keep screaming at me over the past, or are you ready to move on?"
Whumpee was speechless. Their eyes were shining with unshed tears, and they opened and closed their mouth several times without a response. "You're rotten," they said eventually, words dripping with venom. Caretaker didn't say a thing, waiting patiently for a real answer.
The silence stretched on, tense and uncomfortable. Whumpee ran a hand through their hair, huffing in frustration, still trying to keep themself from crying. Caretaker wondered how much strength it took, to stand before them and not break down.
In the end, Whumpee's desire to catch up on their lost years won out. "We can move on," they whispered, and Caretaker could almost taste the desparation in the words. They wanted a second chance. They wanted to prove themself.
And that desparation and spite would make them the perfect little student.

the history within bk moon's verse must be CRAZY
imagine learning that the guy who made a powerful impact on the world's engineering history, had also saved (cmiiw) Magenta Kingdom multiple times, successfully carried out diplomatic relations with humans and other species alike who were considered impossible to cooperate with. And not only that, he had ALSO ascended from the mortal realm and is currently an archangel
The history books must be filled with his name lmao- "the name of the guy who lead the extermination of the first monster domino? oh my god dont tell me it's fucking lloyd-"
i havent read Dragon King's Chef so im not sure what happens in it, but rakiel is probably gonna be mentioned just as much in the medical field lol
canonically you're completely correct! lloyd is one of the pillars upon which the magenta empire was built upon, he has changed the way civil engineering, design and construction is studied and he's the bane of the existence of every student that goes into those fields lol
i do love the headcanon that he's also the name all the students guess when they don't know the answer to a history question too ajsdhka
and funny you should mention rakiel! he gets actual points from the system everytime he achieves an advancement that changes the medical field forever. medicine students curse his name for making their lives more miserable in times of exams <- actual thing the system says lmao
there is also a fascinating little tidbit that happens in the middle of the plot but i really don't want to spoil it so i won't talk about it too much but,,,, god my little guys really do be changing the fate of the universe all while trying their damn best to get the laziest life possible akjshdka

He Loves Me, He Loves Me Not
A/N: Angst, sweet, sweet, angst. How fun. Basically don't read this one if you don't like kinda sad stuff.
Pairing: KEL x Gn! Reader
Warnings: None!
Genre: Angst
Summary: You go to a party because you hear that a good friend of yours is going to be there, you find out something you really didn't want to find out. At least you're taking it well?
Word Count: 2.4k
Rain poured down, the cool night air brushing against your skin violently. You weren’t in much, at least, not enough for the current weather. Hell, you weren’t even wearing shoes, you were in soggy socks. You hadn’t been bothered to prepare yourself, you just needed to get out of the house. So you did, not caring about how you shivered in the cold.
There had been a graduation party at your friend's house, you weren’t going to go, not until you heard that one of your best friends, Kel, was going to be there. Parties were always fun when Kel was there, though he usually didn’t get to go because his parents didn’t let him. But for once they made an exception and let him join a party, you were positive he was probably begging them to let him go and they eventually agreed or that he had simply snuck out. Kel was definitely your typical high school student, always wanting to party and go out with his friends at every given moment, it doesn’t help that he’s so popular. He’s good at sports, gets along with people easily, he’s loyal to his friends, and he’s brothers with Hero who is known by everyone, their parents, and even grandparents. Kel comes from a definitely more well off family as well, in conclusion he’s a fun guy to be around and he’s definitely well known around Faraway Town. So when you heard he was going, how could you not?
When you got there you immediately noticed the rowdy man, causing problems as per usual. He was being obnoxiously loud and bugging basically everyone that was in his sight, though it didn’t seem like they minded all too much. That was the thing about Kel, sure he was annoying but his positive attitude and just how fun he was made up for it, and you’re pretty sure that everyone agreed with that. It did look like there were some people who were starting to get just slightly fed up with Kel, such as the delinquent Aubrey and her ‘gang’. But they just seemed to mind their own business, letting Kel have his fun.
It didn’t take long before he noticed you, giving you the biggest smile you had ever seen in your life. He ran over, without a second thought, quickly engulfing you in a big hug, he once again surprises you with his strength like he always does by lifting you off the ground, but he only lifts you off the ground slightly, not wanting to cause you panic from the sudden action. Your face goes just a little red, he seemed to be in a good mood, but then again when was he not? You attempted to return the sweet gesture by wrapping your arms around him but it was a little hard, he was squeezing the life out of you making it damn near impossible to move at all, you weren’t even sure how you were breathing at the moment. He eventually put you down but kept his hug a little longer before letting go of you much to your dismay.
“Y/N! I didn’t know you were gonna be here! Wowie, that’s so exciting! Why didn’t ya’ tell me?” He tilted his head to the side, almost like a dog would when confused, it was cute. You were told he tried to act like his dog Hector when he was younger, so maybe some of those learned traits never went away.
“Well I wasn’t sure if I would actually show up, but I did! That’s all that matters right?” You decided to mimic the action, tilting your head to the side as well. You giggled slightly when Kel gave you a lost look, not exactly understanding why you did that. He didn’t even seem to realise that he had been doing that as well and was still currently doing it. Your giggling didn’t help as it only made him even more lost. But he enjoyed hearing you giggle, so he played along, laughing as if he understood what you were giggling at. He knew it was something he had done and that’s all he really needed to know. Even though his laugh started as a fake, confused one, eventually it turned real. He lightly punched your shoulder once he finally started to calm down.
“Heh! Yeah! I guess so huh? That’s pretty rad though! Actually hey, I had an idea and you seem like you’d have great input!” He beamed. He was clearly looking forward to your answer.
“Oh yeah? Well hit me with it!”
“Okay, so, clearly all the ladies and even some of the men here want to see more of me right?” He put his hand on his chest in a dramatic overly confident way. You snort but decide to play along with him and his already stupid sounding idea.
“Oooooh yeah, trust me I know. Personally, I would love to see more of Kelsey.” You swear you could see his face go slightly pink for a moment and his expression drop into a more shy look, which is a look that he had never had on his face before. But you must’ve been seeing things because his expression went back to normal immediately. Kel gives you a smile full of pride.
“See! The people want me! So my idea is that I can let them hear my lovely singing voice!” His movements are exaggerated and even still it’s hard for you to tell whether he’s joking or not. Either way you know you shouldn’t encourage it.
“Kel, listen, I would never encourage you to give up on something that’s special to you and that you’re passionate about, but come on, even you know better. I think everyone here likes to hear you talk but if I’m being honest your singing voice is not as nice as your normal talking voice, everyone here would fall to the floor dead if you started to sing.” Kel faked a pout, crossing his arms looking down to the floor, slowly shaking his head. You chuckle and put a hand on his shoulder, just barely able to do so. You seem like a parent who just had a serious talk with their kid and is now trying to comfort them afterwards. “I’m not telling you this because I want to be mean, I’m telling you this so that you don’t embarrass yourself.”
“So you say.” Kel scoffs out, giving you an exaggerated suspicious look. You fake a sad look.
“Also me and your father… We’ve had our run Kel. I’m sorry but we’re-”
“No need to tell me I already know.” He copies your expression, but the dramatic lore you two had just come up with was interrupted by someone calling out to Kel, asking him to go over to them for a moment. Kel gives you a smile, patting you on the shoulder. “Seems like I’m needed, thanks for your advice Y/N! Even if you’re wrong. Catch you later!” You scoff at his comment but watch as he runs off to meet with whoever called him.
Most of the night was great! Even though parties were sometimes awkward it wasn’t this time, because Kel was there. Even though he was with his other, closer friends most of the night you still bumped into him from time to time. He’d give a smile or continue the previous conversation you had by asking questions like “Will you and dad still talk?” or “Do I still get to see dad sometimes?” You’d give him a short response and go your separate ways once more but would inevitably bump into each other again. The night seemed to be going well. Or it was going well, but then you saw Kel, he was talking to someone which wasn’t unusual, he talked to everyone. But this time it was different, no one could miss the way he blushed, or the shy look he gave them. The same one he gave you earlier, which also confirmed that it was a look he had given you, but this time it was consistently on his face. Of course you didn’t want to believe he had feelings for someone that wasn’t you but after the conversation had finished between him and that person you overheard him talking to his friends. They were teasing him about liking that person, he tried to shoo them off, and told them to shut up, even attempting to lightly hit them which only earned laughs from his friends.
The rest of the time you spent in that party was painful, Kel had tried to joke around with you some more when he passed you, just as you two had done before, you did your best to respond and Kel being Kel didn’t even notice that you seemed upset. He took the response you gave him and happily went off somewhere else while you stood there, completely still and silent. It wasn’t until Kel got up onto a table and got everyone to look at him and stop the music did you hope that the night would get better. But it only got much worse.
He started to sing, which you had recommended he didn’t do but it seemed like he didn’t really care all that much about what you said. You didn’t really mind, you got a good laugh out of it at first along with everyone else, but suddenly, just as the night seemed to start getting better the lyrics registered in your head, it was a love song and as he continued to sing he dramatically held out his hand to that person he had been talking to before, he looked like he was trying to poke fun at movies for doing the same thing but with the evidence that suggested he had a crush on that person you knew it was also his way of trying to give them a hint. You stood there unmoving once again, the feeling of tears welling up in your eyes, you were quick to wipe them away though. You didn’t want to be there anymore, you needed to get out of there before someone noticed you were upset, and so you left, and nobody noticed, all too focused on Kel’s act.
This led to now, you were running in the rain, in soggy socks because you had left your shoes and everything else that you used to keep you warm at the house, you’d have to get it tomorrow. Tears were beginning to form and fall but you couldn’t really tell since they were mixed with the rain. You didn’t even know where you were running, you knew you had some idea in your head as you were clearly going somewhere but you didn’t know where specifically, but you trusted yourself enough to know that it wasn’t someplace you would regret going. Soon enough you found yourself outside your house, your body had brought you home.
You were quick to go inside and head to your bedroom, avoiding anyone who might notice that you were upset and in soggy socks. You sat on the floor, too unmotivated to move from the spot and too busy trying to calm yourself down. It wasn’t that big of a deal, at least it shouldn’t have been, so why was it? Sure you had a little crush but why was it now feeling like a breakup? It wasn’t that! You had liked Kel a lot more than you thought you did. You weren’t mad, that was a good thing, not at Kel, not at that other person, not at yourself. Not anyone, and at least the warmth of your home was bringing you some comfort, it was definitely better than outside.
After a moment of sitting there, calming yourself down enough to function, you decided to take a much needed bath and head to bed early. You couldn’t be bothered to stay awake, not while knowing that you could get riled up again. But as you were preparing to head off to bed you noticed a flower, one that you had picked from the ground earlier that day, and decided to give yourself one last chance with Kel and it all depended on this flower. You sat down on the floor once more with the flower in hand and pulled a petal off.
He loves me
You pulled another off.
He loves me not
And again.
He loves me
Why were you trying so hard?
He loves me not
It wasn’t that big of a deal.
He loves me
He was happy.
He loves me not
That’s all that mattered wasn’t it.
He loves me
You should just let him be happy.
He loves me not
You two could stay friends still.
He loves me
But could you really be happy when around him knowing that he loves someone who isn’t you?
He loves me not
Just stop worrying about it.
He loves me
Just close your eyes and move on.
He loves me not
He loves me
He loves me not
He loves me
He loves me not
He loves me
He loves me not
He loves me
He loves me not
He loves me
You pause, taking one deep breath before opening your eyes, you sigh. You had done this in one last ditch effort to convince yourself that maybe you still had a chance with Kel but it seems that the world was just going to give it to you straight out, no games. There was still one last petal, and that only meant one thing. Though you don’t want to, you grab it and without thinking very quickly pluck it off.
“He loves me not.” You stare at the petals all over your floor. You supposed that this was just an extra confirmation that Kel was not interested. That’s just how it was, there’s not much you can do about that. It still upsets you because you had only just found out that Kel had liked someone else, but knowing that Kel would be happy and be with who he wants to be with is enough to give you the motivation to stand up and head to bed. One day you would find someone who loves you, you’d just have to wait until you find them, even if they’re not Kel. Surely this just meant that someone else was interested right? You were sure of it. So trying to not think too much about the awkward conversations that will happen tomorrow, you slowly drift off into sleep, praying that anyone, especially Kel, wouldn’t question why you had suddenly disappeared from the party.
Thanks for reading! <3

Do you ever find that you get characterized or stereotyped in certain ways by others, either negatively or positively?
Hi anon! :)
So you kind of mean, what are the reviews that I get to me as a person? Because there are absolutely trends in that respect.
What people usually agree on, no matter for how long they've known me, is that I'm quiet, nice, and pretty much impossible to read. Most strangers first think I'm shy, while my friends have learned that I'm not. I just don't talk much, but absolutely can monologue if so asked. Back in school, teachers often tended to forget me and said I hardly ever participated in class, even when that wasn't true. I could speak up like three times per class and they'd still say that I've never said a word in the entire semester. I always found that extremely annoying (especially since oral participation is 50-100% of your grade here, depending on the subject). I just always seem to fade into the background. But throughout my life, there have always been some extroverts who took one look at me and went "yeah, I'm gonna adopt that one." I remember when my ESTJ friend adopted me many years ago, she said "you are so cool when you talk, but you talk so little, so other people don't know how cool you really are. I'm going to tell them all about you!!" and so she (successfully) tried to make her friends befriend me because she (correctly) thought I wouldn't be socially adept enough to do that by myself. I appreciate this kind of behaviour a lot, but at the same time it's a bit infantilising, which is also something that keeps on happening. It's always very well meant, but it's like other people look at you and see a little baby that they need to protect. Funnily enough, the Video Diaries from BBC Merlin with all the comments about Colin Morgan (a fellow INFJ) by his co-stars always remind me a lot of how people tend talk about me when they first meet me. It's often a sort of bewilderment as to why everyone is so endeared by me when I'm actually a rather odd person, until they get to know me better and - oh, would you look at that? I've been adopted again. When you're perceived as nice and kind, but socially awkward, forgetful and completely detached from everyday life, apparently it makes you rather adorable in other people's eyes (or so I've been told). They do take you seriously, that's not an issue, but at the same time, it feels like they are cheering you on like a puppy that's chasing a motorbike. Similarly to Bradley James' (an ESFJ) little ironic rant in the video diaries linked above, where he goes "everyone loooves Colin, oh he's so nice, he's so innocent, aww Colin aww. Oh Bradley? Yeah, pff, don't worry about Bradley, he's fine, he's ... you know, whatever. Colin aww, look after Colin aww", people who know me actually really do talk about me like this, like I need to be looked after. For instance, when I recently got back from an international conference where I gave a presentation, I happened to meet my ENTJ colleague in the hallway and he immediately went "how was the conference? Were they nice to you?" Not "did you meet some nice people?", but "were they nice to you?" as in "do I need to get mad at people for not treating you right?" Similarly, I’ve had a student come up to me being genuinely worried about my workload and asking how I was going to grade all their term papers as if I hadn’t enough on my plate already and that I should take care of myself. So this can be very sweet, or occasionally a bit annoying.
Honestly, I'd say the only people who don't characterise me as a strange little puppy that needs protecting are ISFPs. Depending on their particular flavour of Fi, they usually look at me like "that's an alien. I don't trust her, keep her away from me." A lot of people don't really know what to do with me when they first meet me because no matter how emotive I can get, apparently I come across as an unreadable enigma so that you never know what I'm actually thinking or feeling at any given moment. Most people tend to stick around to find a way to peek beneath the mask they believe to be there (there isn't one), but 98% of ISFPs just go "Nope. Bye." Meanwhile, I often get the impression that I slightly terrify ISFJs like with an uncanny valley effect as in "I recognise that you have Fe like me, but there's something wrong with it. Why is there something wrong with it?"
So other people's types tend to play a role in their interpretation of me as well. For instance, when it comes to my sense of humour, it's always the same types that find it funny (ENTJ, ESTJ, INTJ, INFP, ESFJ, ENTP, ISTP), that know how to properly respond to it (ENTJ, INTJ, INFP, ENTP), and those who absolutely do not get it (ISFP, ENFP, ISTJ).

19, 25, and 27 for that ask game.
19. Tell me a story about your writing journey. When did you start? Why did you start? Were there bumps along the way? Where are you now and where are you going?
Oh god. I have no idea when it started KJFKL I feel like I've always liked writing honestly. it sort of goes hand-in-hand with my art journey. I'd make characters, draw the characters, and I'd have stories for those characters too. It's so rare for me to make a character design without SOME amount of lore being made for that character. It's almost inevitable.
Of course there have been bumps. Creative projects when you're a full-time student are, for lack of a better word, a pain in the ass to manage. NSN has been on a sort of impromptu hiatus for several months because of how busy university has been, and I'm always kinda sad when I think about it. But I couldn't handle both at once and the last thing I want to do is cause myself burnout. There are a lot of projects like NSN that I never completed or went through with because they were too big of a project for this little ghost to handle on her own on top of life stuff. I don't think I've ever really figured out how to not get over-ambitious with stuff, but I'm trying to make things easier for myself. At least a little.
Which actually kinda ties back to NSN again, honestly. I haven't posted any updates in ages, but I am actually working on occasion in the background on more solid planning for future pages. My plan is to have a strong foundation to build off of when my free time opens up more again. Can't say much about what I have in-store for it, but hoo. I am Excited.
And I have a few other lil ideas floating around in my head too for when I have time and resources. I mean, I do have this Whole Ass Country sitting here, and I think at some point I'd like to talk about what's been going on with That outside of the rps I've done with the characters that inhabit it. Not sure what that might look like yet, but. :) Perhaps
25. What is a weird, hyper-specific detail you know about one of your characters that is completely irrelevant to the story?
OH I AM SO FULL OF SO MANY OF THESE. I'm just gonna list a few faves because they're so fun (some of them I've def told some of you already, but have yet to subject the whole of tumblr to them):
-Fred is (was?) double-jointed somewhere in his hands. And he did, in fact, use this ability to freak people out. -Magician can do the tongue-flick thing reptiles like snakes and lizards do to get a feel for the space they're in. He often does it subconsciously in a new area, and it's so fast that it is near impossible to catch him doing it. -Also he can unhinge his jaw, have fun with that mental image :D -Xander has some of the best understandings of how intense periods can be despite never having had one, because one of his vampiric abilities is to be able to pick up on heavy bleeding.
27. Who is the most stressful character you’ve ever written? Why?
Oh dear god I could almost make a list for this too tbh. I think as of recent, though, Corrupted!Cupcake is uh. Definitely up there. Since I don't think I've talked about this on tumblr yet: she was used as part of an rp I've been doing focused on her backstory (which I rambled a bit about here). It's funny, because I also loved playing her, but oh dear GOD the rabbit hole of angst that spawned from that was insane (to the point that one of my friends who was also participating had to message me to make sure I wasn't about to permanently destroy the relationship Cup had with one of her characters. We were treading THAT kind of territory). I don't think I've been so stressed and excited at the same time playing a character in ages.

work stuff
silly stuff: I have a new phone I hate it =) not really but I bought one that was cheap so I can't find cases for it, and I was just used to my old setup so now everything's diff... It has this horrible material on the back which is impossible to stick anything to! so adding my beloved phone ring hasn't worked. Tried hot glue gun, Elmer's glue... it does not stick lol.
ANYWAY, I covered in Moomin stickers and my coworker goes "EHHH you like Moomins?"
me: "yeah!"
her: "But... you're so cool!
x'D Idek what she meant. I'm not cool, but I've been told my whole life that I come off serious. I don't really know what to do about it, I'm not serious person at all, but people decide lots of things based on random stuff to substitute actually getting to know you. And they conclude I'm serious. I can only guess that's what she meant by "cool" lol. It was very funny to hear myself described as "cool" at all though. If only the kids from junior high were there!
less serious stuff: not gonna get into buuuuut GUESS WHAT WE'RE MAJORLY UNDERSTAFFED AGAIN! aaaaand stomach flu is going around, so a bunch of teachers have been out sick. I'm fine! Which is so great because I get to go to work and pick up the slack :) so fun. Since we're understaffed, we've had to ask for help from another school. We've had to ask a lot the past few months because of the understaffing, and this week, with the addition of illness, it's been even more.
So there's a teacher from the other school there in the afternoon (actually an admin, not teacher), and as she's leaving I thank her for her help (we had a tough afternoon today, the kids have no mercy lol). She says: "I like coming here... but not this often." x'D It wasn't impolite, and I don't blame her a bit... She has her own work and they've had a bout of illness at her school too. She shouldn't have to come over here and help us, especially not so often. But what can I do about it? Why tell me? Does she think anyone listens to me x'D because I promise they do not! I'm here every day, covering for coworkers, as well as looking after my own class without one of my coteachers because she quit in September. All that kind of comment does is make me feel like guilty, like there's something else we should be doing? Browbeating people for getting sick? Cloning ourselves so we can meet the mandated teacher-student ratio without help?? I would LOVE to not have to ask for help from the other school but I literally cannot do anything about it.
I'm a little ticked off for a bunch of reasons, but it boils down to there's just not much appreciation for those of us who are sticking it out and covering for others. It feels like when people are absent, the people who show up to work get the brunt of the disappointment and the dissatisfaction. It is always a scramble trying to make everything work out and it's stressful.
We don't perform as well in suboptimal conditions... That's as true for pre-K as it is anywhere else. Yes kids deserve the best always but teachers are only human. Just because you throw in random admin stuff or teachers from other rooms who don't know our routine or our kids doesn't mean now everything's going to be fine. Ratio is not everything. If you see a problem, maybe instead of complaining or lecturing about it... help out?? lol smh. This happened with an event we did recently, where there was a fuss by some people that things were not progressing as smoothly as they're supposed to... Surprise surprise, one of the teachers who was supposed to lead it had just quit :) everyone else on the team were FIRST TIMERS. The only one who wasn't a sub!! But they got lectured... it wasn't there fault. Hard to say whose fault it was - ideally, if that happens, someone in a leadership position would say, "OK, that teacher quit, so the new team is all newbies and will probably need some advice so they know when to get stuff going with this event." But our boss isn't really involved in teacher activities and has enough on her plate. There isn't always a team leader on campus either. The rest of us are all equals and we aren't keeping tabs on each other. That's not our job. Soooo... no one noticed, basically, until it was almost too late.
But the reason things went wrong there is because of understaffing. Not any teacher being lazy or careless. And today a bunch of stuff went wrong. Because we were understaffed, there were big changes during the day as another teacher called in sick and another went home in the middle of the day also sick, and it threw a wrench into the rest of our schedules. As a result, things that usually get done in a certain order were scrambled through or misplaced. Despite that we were all doing more work than usual. I did cleaning duty for both my coteacher and myself because she had to stay in the nap room for a long time. I also wrote in our class journal (required) and worked on stuff for the next event. AND I wrote half of our students' daily messages (also required) and my coworker did the other half. Usually we do those messages during classtime. But I had to cover for another class during the time I typically write them. We would have then written them after lunch, but our sub was the teacher who went home sick, so we were under ratio and had to scramble to recalibrate so stuff could stay legal. We ended up very behind and couldn't write the messages. So that had to be done during afternoon prep as well. Because of that chain of events, neither of us thought to refill the diaper bin. Probably also because of us that chain of events, the teachers on duty at naptime didn't finish writing all the naptimes in the kids' journals. Which is an easy fix, but became a lecture?? We KNOW what to do. We do it just fine every day. It is NOVEMBER. School year started in April. It does not occur to you that perhaps things got missed because our day was bananas?? (Nah definitely because we suck lol)
I took a 30 min break at 3:15 pm. I went and got a drink and read a book. I didn't take any break yesterday. I'm supposed to get one hour. It's not even a paid hour. If I'd done more classroom organizing today I would not have had even that 30 min. But heaven help us, someone had to walk out and pick up a diaper for one student because of my laziness. Lol.
The expectation at this job is really becoming "constantly work and don't take a break" and I'm so not here for it. I know I keep saying I'll find a new job and never do but I am going to I swear...

20.5: Forever young
SHALLOW BREATHS SQUEEZED OUT OF MY lungs almost painfully as I fast-walked through the alley, a shortcut to my new home.
'Keep it together. It's okay. You're okay.'
God, I sucked at convincing even myself--I felt like a complete idiot as I desperately tucked a strand of hair behind my ear in an attempt to restore some order into my life.
"He's dead because of you"
My conscience? Or a ghost from my past? I couldn't tell, and my superstitious ass couldn't accept that there might be no real plausible answer.
Nevertheless, my guilt was rising up my throat in the form of bile, and I struggled to keep my breathing and pace even as my chest heaved harder and harder.
If I didn't want to back out of the promise I'd made Maria to attend his funeral this year, I was going to have to stop overthinking it--just ground my teeth and attend. Show up. That was the bare minimum, and I could do that, right? For my friend?
"You were never a friend to him"
My temples throbbing, head pounding, mind spinning--
***
*Two years earlier.*
Another dreary winter had arrived. I chewed on a piece of toast while mindlessly walking on the way to school. It was the month of January, and the falling snow upon my head incurred only bad memories that I wanted to avoid thinking about at all costs. I didn't care if I was late; this was normal for me, so much so that my homeroom teacher no longer commented or even acknowledged me when I trudged into class late everyday. I wasn't late because I had gotten up late or anything; on the contrary, I woke up extra early most days to make myself a packed lunch for the day, or I simply couldn't sleep and would pull an all-nighter. This was the brutal pattern I was used to due to my insomnia. On top of that, I worked part-time as a barista at a nearby coffee shop, while still maintaining life as a student. So I didn't feel too badly regarding the fact that I was a truant; rather, I was grateful that I was still getting decent grades and that the teacher didn't care, because I did want to be able to graduate. But most if not all mornings were extremely difficult. I couldn't bring myself to physically get up. There was an invisible weight on my chest that seemingly was crushing me, and every morning I struggled to get out of bed to start another day. The task always seemed so daunting--nearly impossible.
How was I still moving forward? I felt like a robot--no, a corpse walking. Did I even have a will anymore? In fact, I barely felt alive.
Like a deadweight was shackled to my ankles. I was always exhausted, but every day I chanted a mantra to help motivate myself. 'It's not so bad,' I would think. 'I'm almost there. I'm gonna graduate and make it big, proving all of them wrong.'
It had been a year and a half since I had moved out--or, to be more specific, ran away from home. After years of torment, I couldn't take it anymore and just dropped everything. Although I had managed to convince myself that this was what was best for everyone, and that I was doing everyone including my family a favor by leaving, the guilt of abandonment wasn't lessened by that fact. I thought of how hurt Rose would be; we had been close, more like friends than siblings, and yet I had left her behind without saying a word, not even a letter to explain the reason why or where I had gone. I figured, the cleaner the break, the easier it would be to move on. It was selfish, but also an act necessary to save my own life, I had reasoned.
It had hurt like hell to do something that was so similar to something my father had done, so many years in the past. I clicked my tongue in agitation at the thought and immediately rejected it. No, that wasn't it; this wasn't the same thing. If I allowed herself to believe that, I'd really have no reason to keep living on...
"Hey, what are you, deaf? Wait up."
A great force of a human being named Abel charged into me, nearly toppling my balance and causing me to fall.
"What the...!"
"Earth to Irina. We were calling your name from the back to wait, but you kept walking as if you were in a trance. You should really watch where you're going, so you don't accidentally trip. You know how clumsy you are." He beamed: a perfect picture of innocence. Inwardly, this made me cringe; I wasn't used to this type of affection, and wasn't sure how to react to it. Thankfully, I wouldn't have to.
"Excuse me," commented the girl next to him named Maria, as she blew a bubble into the air with her eyes glued to her phone, probably reading a visual novel. "I did no such thing; you did that on your own. Why do we always have to walk to school together, Abel? You cause too much of a disturbance. From now on, I'm walking on my own; it's too noisy."
I rolled her eyes in agreement. "She's right. You're always too much, Abel."
The two were my only close friends--in fact, the only friends I'd made since I'd chosen a life of independence. They were the same way: we had only each other for regular company. Only they knew who I was, and they were the most genuine and supportive friends I could have asked for. The three of us stuck together like glue, and the whole school knew about it. In truth, I was always appreciative to them for sticking by my side through thick and thin, but I was awkward with expressions of love and couldn't express it properly. Or, rather, I wasn't used to receiving love from others, and after years of verbal abuse and trauma from my mother, I had trained myself to automatically repel it and think that I wasn't worthy of it.
Abel Clemington was a seventeen year-old boy of above-average muscle build, who was lean and roughly the same height as me. His fluffy, wavy hair, cute face, and wide goofy smile, paired with a general friendly personality and a swimmer's body, made him very popular, but contrary to the norm, he wasn't keen on spending much time with anyone other than Maria and myself. Not many others knew, but I knew this was because he was actually quite introverted, and he was extremely shy to the point of being incapable of talking to anyone.
Maria was almost the complete opposite type of Abel, a blatant recluse who gave off a creepy murderous vibe to others due to her gloomy persona and well-known hatred for people. Her hair was always very long and thick because she didn't like to cut it, having once commented that it felt like her "artistic powers were drained when she cut her hair," and so it contributed to her often looking like a young maiden ghost. Her hair was grey-ish silver, and her statute was small and short. She almost looked like a fairy or a doll, if not for her sullen looks. Contrary to her general vibe, her emerald green eyes were entrancing and beautiful, and she too was popular amongst boys--not that she ever gave them the time of day. From where I was standing, Maria only had eyes for Abel.
The three of us were an unlikely match for friendship, but fate had things in store for us a summer ago, when we had been summoned to the counselor's office to schedule our therapy sessions. The summer I turned fifteen, so many things had changed for me by my own hand, and I had been overwhelmed. As a result, my grades had dropped considerably, and I had been summoned to the counselor's office to discuss the impact it might have on my future for going to university. Panicked, I had sat restlessly in the waiting area by reception, twisting my fingers and trying to take steady breaths. If I couldn't go to college, I would never be able to prove my family wrong by becoming a person worthy of something, and neither would I be able to financially support myself. Was my newfound freedom coming to an end so quickly? I sighed in exasperation, afraid that the school was going to catch on to the fact that I didn't have a legal guardian. In a desperate attempt to get enrolled in a good school, I had forged some entry papers, having practiced my mother's signature numerous times before in my childhood when she was either not available or too drunk to do it herself. Had they caught on? Exceedingly growing more nervous as time went by, I started massaging my temples.
"You've obviously never been in trouble before. Are you new? I don't recognize you."
The boy next to me started casually talking, causing me to nearly jump out of my seat. I wasn't used to people approaching me and conversing with me out of the blue; I knew I gave off an unfriendly vibe, and I didn't necessarily feel the need to fix it, preferring to be alone anyway. Therefore, I was genuinely surprised.
"...Yeah. I just moved to this town and transferred here a month ago."
"Cool. So where are you from? What's your name?"
"Um." I was growing increasingly uncomfortable with the situation. The boy put his hands up in the air, an easy surrender.
"Sorry. How 'bout I start? My name's Abel. I've lived in this town for as long as I can remember. How 'bout you?"
"...Irina. Nice to meet you," I'd said flatly, then turned my attention elsewhere. There was no point prolonging a conversation that I wasn't interested in. He was supposed to be just like everybody else--indifferent. But he was ever so curious, and kept talking to me, hoping to elicit some kind of reaction.
I remember trying desperately to understand why anyone, lest of all somebody with such a bright aura illuminating his entire being--so bright I almost wanted to cover my eyes as a reflex--would keep trying. For somebody like me.
A nobody.
At the sound of Abel's continuous one-sided prattle, and my stoic silence, the girl who sat across from the two spoke up in a calm voice.
"Can you shut the hell up already? I have a migraine. Don't make it worse. If you can't, then get the hell out of my sight."
It was Maria. Even before that day, I'd heard of her--her Lolita-esque looks that made her quite popular with the boys in school; a wealthy family; and a talent and legacy to fulfill as an art prodigy like her parents, who were famous art collectors and philanthropists. They were loved by the media, the press, the town, the world--because they were wealthy people who were generous and kind enough to care about others less fortunate than them. A true rarity of purity. With such celebrities living in this town, it was impossible to reside here without hearing of the Fernsbys.
Or so it appeared from the outside. In reality, Maria's parents were amongst the most despicable human beings on Earth. Their charities were self-funded, meaning they donated large checks to establishments that seemed like orphanages or government agency properties on the outside and on legal documents, but really, those establishments were owned by the Fernsbys. They were perpetuating a cycle of donating money to themselves, in the end. And Maria was aware of her parents' true nature of wanting to impress others and becoming labelled as "good people," despite the contrary. As a result, she became disillusioned and constantly questioned the meaning of 'good and evil': did such concepts even exist? Suddenly, everything that she was supposed to be proud of sickened her; so much so, that she completely changed into a different person by the time she entered high school. She ceased caring about appearances, letting her long, thick hair cover about half her face, and trying to impress her parents. She excelled in and chose to pursue art, like her detestable parents, but art was the only way she knew how to cope with the disturbing world she had been born into. It was the only way she could make sense of any of it--the only contaminated thing that she couldn't give up.
"Oops, sorry, you're right. I'm being a disturbance. Jeez, I was basically talking your ear off. Don't mind me; if you don't want to talk anymore, I'll leave it alone."
Abel settled into the back of his chair, genuinely apologetic. When it should have been me who was sorry.
He was always like that--the first to apologize, even when he'd done nothing wrong. A peacekeeper and an over-sympathizer who would gladly give up his organs for a stranger. I had often made fun of him for it--I remember one time, I had taunted him that if someone ordered him to jump off of a bridge, would he do it?
"Maybe," had been his infuriating response. "That person probably has their own reason for asking me to do such a thing. If they appear desperate enough, I dunno, I might do it."
"You're an idiot!" Maria and I had scoffed at him, but if I had known what would happen to him in the end, I wouldn't have. I would have praised him for having a characteristic so unheard of in this bleak world, and tell him to never change a thing about himself, no matter what happened.
Over that summer, we met once a week at the counselor's office. And while we waited our turn to be berated for circumstances that were out of our control, we talked and laughed about insignificant things--that by no means felt insignificant to me. My heart treasured those times with them, because it was the only time I could be myself without facing criticism, without being told that I had to change if I wanted to become better.
Then one hot summer day, during another pointless session, my counselor confronted me with the fact that I would have to leave the school if I didn't get my guardian's permission.
"I'm not sure I understand--"
"Look, your mother called the principal this afternoon and made it clear that you aren't living with her at the moment, and that she would prefer if you were back home. Now I understand that you want to attend our school, but without your parent's consent we can't turn a blind eye to a minor living by herself when we know it's illegal."
I had stepped out of the office, my fury rendering my nerves numb. Why did Mother always have to ruin everything for me? Just when it was getting good too--
"...I'm at my wit's end."
Abel looked alarmingly at me, only to find that my shoulders were trembling slightly, as if I was afraid.
"I don't know if what I'm doing is the right thing. I can't help but feel like I made a mistake. Was it wrong for me to choose myself, to start a new life? Do I have that kind of right...?"
I wasn't sure what came over me--maybe it was because my anxiety had peaked, but I could hold it back no longer. I didn't really mean to bother my only friends with her problems and scare them away, but I really was desperate, clinging to a last strand of hope.
What I thought would be a solution to my horrible life might end up amounting to nothing. When I thought that, my lungs felt as heavy as if they were filled with lead. My vision was getting blurry and my heart leapt into my throat; I was panicking. Again. In broad daylight, in front of other people. This was the worst.
Witnessing my panic attack triggered a response. Abel instinctively shrugged out of his jacket and put it over my head to shield me from my embarrassment and to let me cry in private. Maria walked over to where we were sitting, and she placed her hand on my head and patted it.
"It's okay," she said soothingly. "Breathe. You have the right to feel however you want. There's absolutely nothing wrong with choosing yourself."
Too stunned for a couple of seconds, my shallow breaths turning into hiccups as I struggled for air amidst my panic attack. It was as if I had been acknowledged for the first time in my life as who I really was. I had been granted permission to cry and blame the world. At that realization, I openly wept, genuinely comforted by their kindness: Abel, who was wordlessly protecting my dignity; and Maria, who understood my suffering on a level almost no one else could probably understand.
As the panic seceded, my breathing returned to normal. After this day, I would gain the two most valuable people in my life--only to have one of them snatched away from me so soon, as if God was punishing me for my sins.
***
As the voices in my head screamed even louder, I finally reached my destination. But to get to the elevator, I'd have to pass by the front door of the unit where Mother, Richard and Rose lived. I was agitated, and I didn't want to run the risk of them seeing me have another... episode like this. Especially when I was criticized so harshly for it in the past.
I was still musing over my limited options when my fears to fathom came true.
"Hello, dearest."

According to all known laws of aviation, there is no way a bee should be able to fly. Its wings are too small to get its fat little body off the ground. The bee, of course, flies anyway because bees don't care what humans think is impossible. Yellow, black. Yellow, black. Yellow, black. Yellow, black. Ooh, black and yellow! Let's shake it up a little. Barry! Breakfast is ready! Coming! Hang on a second. Hello? Barry? Adam? Can you believe this is happening? I can't. I'll pick you up. Looking sharp.

All right, here it goes. Nah. What would I say? I could really get in trouble. It's a bee law. You're not supposed to talk to a human. I can't believe I'm doing this. I've got to. Oh, I can't do it. Oome on! No. Yes. No. Do it. I can't. How should I start it? "You like jazz?" No, that's no good. Here she comes! Speak, you fool! Hi! I'm sorry. - You're talking. - Yes, I know. You're talking! I'm so sorry. No, it's OK. It's fine. I know I'm dreaming. But I don't recall going to bed. Well, I'm sure this is very disconcerting. This is a bit of a surprise to me. I mean, you're a bee!
I am. And I'm not supposed to be doing this, but they were all trying to kill me. And if it wasn't for you... I had to thank you. It's just how I was raised. That was a little weird. - I'm talking with a bee. - Yeah. I'm talking to a bee. And the bee is talking to me! I just want to say I'm grateful. I'll leave now. - Wait! How did you learn to do that? - What? The talking thing. Same way you did, I guess. "Mama, Dada, honey." You pick it up. - That's very funny. - Yeah. Bees are funny. If we didn't laugh, we'd cry with what we have to deal with. Anyway... Oan I... ...get you something? - Like what? I don't know. I mean... I don't know. Ooffee? I don't want to put you out. It's no trouble. It takes two minutes. - It's just coffee. - I hate to impose. - Don't be ridiculous! - Actually, I would love a cup. Hey, you want rum cake? - I shouldn't. - Have some. - No, I can't. - Oome on! I'm trying to lose a couple micrograms. - Where? - These stripes don't help. You look great! I don't know if you know anything about fashion. Are you all right? No. He's making the tie in the cab as they're flying up Madison. He finally gets there. He runs up the steps into the church. The wedding is on. And he says, "Watermelon? I thought you said Guatemalan. Why would I marry a watermelon?" Is that a bee joke? That's the kind of stuff we do. Yeah, different. So, what are you gonna do, Barry? About work? I don't know. I want to do my part for the hive, but I can't do it the way they want. I know how you feel. - You do? - Sure. My parents wanted me to be a lawyer or a doctor, but I wanted to be a florist. - Really? - My only interest is flowers. Our new queen was just elected with that same campaign slogan. Anyway, if you look... There's my hive right there. See it?
Yes! I'm right off the Turtle Pond! No way! I know that area. I lost a toe ring there once. - Why do girls put rings on their toes? - Why not? - It's like putting a hat on your knee. - Maybe I'll try that. - You all right, ma'am? - Oh, yeah. Fine. Just having two cups of coffee! Anyway, this has been great. Thanks for the coffee. Yeah, it's no trouble. Sorry I couldn't finish it. If I did, I'd be up the rest of my life. Are you...? Oan I take a piece of this with me? Sure! Here, have a crumb. - Thanks! - Yeah. All right. Well, then... I guess I'll see you around. Or not. OK, Barry. And thank you so much again... for before. Oh, that? That was nothing. Well, not nothing, but... Anyway... This can't possibly work. He's all set to go. We may as well try it. OK, Dave, pull the chute. - Sounds amazing. - It was amazing! It was the scariest, happiest moment of my life. Humans! I can't believe you were with humans! Giant, scary humans! What were they like? Huge and crazy. They talk crazy. They eat crazy giant things. They drive crazy. - Do they try and kill you, like on TV? - Some of them. But some of them don't. - How'd you get back? - Poodle. You did it, and I'm glad. You saw whatever you wanted to see. You had your "experience." Now you can pick out yourjob and be normal. - Well... - Well? Well, I met someone. You did? Was she Bee-ish? - A wasp?! Your parents will kill you! - No, no, no, not a wasp. - Spider? - I'm not attracted to spiders. I know it's the hottest thing, with the eight legs and all. I can't get by that face. So who is she? She's... human. No, no. That's a bee law. You wouldn't break a bee law.
- Oh, boy. She's so nice. And she's a florist! Oh, no! You're dating a human florist! We're not dating. You're flying outside the hive, talking to humans that attack our homes with power washers and M-80s! One-eighth a stick of dynamite! She saved my life! And she understands me. This is over! Eat this. This is not over! What was that? - They call it a crumb. - It was so stingin' stripey! And that's not what they eat. That's what falls off what they eat! - You know what a Oinnabon is? - No. It's bread and cinnamon and frosting. They heat it up... Sit down! ...really hot! - Listen to me! We are not them! We're us. There's us and there's them! Yes, but who can deny the heart that is yearning? There's no yearning. Stop yearning. Listen to me! You have got to start thinking bee, my friend. Thinking bee! - Thinking bee. - Thinking bee. Thinking bee! Thinking bee! Thinking bee! Thinking bee! There he is. He's in the pool. You know what your problem is, Barry? I gotta start thinking bee? How much longer will this go on? It's been three days! Why aren't you working? I've got a lot of big life decisions to think about. What life? You have no life! You have no job. You're barely a bee! Would it kill you to make a little honey? Barry, come out. Your father's talking to you. Martin, would you talk to him? Barry, I'm talking to you! You coming? Got everything? All set! Go ahead. I'll catch up. Don't be too long. Watch this! Vanessa! - We're still here. - I told you not to yell at him. He doesn't respond to yelling! - Then why yell at me? - Because you don't listen! I'm not listening to this. Sorry, I've gotta go. - Where are you going? - I'm meeting a friend. A girl? Is this why you can't decide? Bye. I just hope she's Bee-ish. They have a huge parade of flowers every year in Pasadena? To be in the Tournament of Roses, that's every florist's dream! Up on a float, surrounded by flowers, crowds cheering. A tournament. Do the roses compete in athletic events? No. All right, I've got one. How come you don't fly everywhere? It's exhausting. Why don't you run everywhere? It's faster. Yeah, OK, I see, I see. All right, your turn. TiVo. You can just freeze live TV? That's insane! You don't have that? We have Hivo, but it's a disease. It's a horrible, horrible disease. Oh, my. Dumb bees!
We try not to sting. It's usually fatal for us. So you have to watch your temper. Very carefully. You kick a wall, take a walk, write an angry letter and throw it out. Work through it like any emotion: Anger, jealousy, lust. Oh, my goodness! Are you OK? Yeah. - What is wrong with you?! - It's a bug. He's not bothering anybody. Get out of here, you creep! What was that? A Pic 'N' Save circular? Yeah, it was. How did you know? It felt like about 10 pages. Seventy-five is pretty much our limit. You've really got that down to a science. - I lost a cousin to Italian Vogue. - I'll bet. What in the name of Mighty Hercules is this? How did this get here? Oute Bee, Golden Blossom, Ray Liotta Private Select? - Is he that actor? - I never heard of him. - Why is this here? - For people. We eat it. You don't have enough food of your own? - Well, yes. - How do you get it? - Bees make it. - I know who makes it! And it's hard to make it! There's heating, cooling, stirring. You need a whole Krelman thing! - It's organic. - It's our-ganic! It's just honey, Barry. Just what?! Bees don't know about this! This is stealing! A lot of stealing! You've taken our homes, schools, hospitals! This is all we have! And it's on sale?! I'm getting to the bottom of this. I'm getting to the bottom of all of this! Hey, Hector. - You almost done? - Almost. He is here. I sense it. Well, I guess I'll go home now and just leave this nice honey out, with no one around. You're busted, box boy! I knew I heard something. So you can talk! I can talk. And now you'll start talking! Where you getting the sweet stuff? Who's your supplier? I don't understand. I thought we were friends. The last thing we want to do is upset bees! You're too late! It's ours now! You, sir, have crossed the wrong sword! You, sir, will be lunch for my iguana, Ignacio! Where is the honey coming from? Tell me where! Honey Farms! It comes from Honey Farms! Orazy person! What horrible thing has happened here? These faces, they never knew what hit them. And now they're on the road to nowhere! Just keep still. What? You're not dead? Do I look dead? They will wipe anything that moves. Where you headed? To Honey Farms. I am onto something huge here. I'm going to Alaska. Moose blood, crazy stuff. Blows your head off! I'm going to Tacoma. - And you? - He really is dead. All right. Uh-oh! - What is that?! - Oh, no! - A wiper! Triple blade! - Triple blade? Jump on! It's your only chance, bee! Why does everything have to be so doggone clean?! How much do you people need to see?!
- Hey, guys! - Mooseblood! I knew I'd catch y'all down here. Did you bring your crazy straw? We throw it in jars, slap a label on it, and it's pretty much pure profit. What is this place? A bee's got a brain the size of a pinhead. They are pinheads! Pinhead. - Oheck out the new smoker. - Oh, sweet. That's the one you want. The Thomas 3000! Smoker? Ninety puffs a minute, semi-automatic. Twice the nicotine, all the tar. A couple breaths of this knocks them right out. They make the honey, and we make the money. "They make the honey, and we make the money"? Oh, my! What's going on? Are you OK? Yeah. It doesn't last too long. Do you know you're in a fake hive with fake walls? Our queen was moved here. We had no choice. This is your queen? That's a man in women's clothes! That's a drag queen! What is this? Oh, no! There's hundreds of them! Bee honey. Our honey is being brazenly stolen on a massive scale! This is worse than anything bears have done! I intend to do something. Oh, Barry, stop. Who told you humans are taking our honey? That's a rumor. Do these look like rumors? That's a conspiracy theory. These are obviously doctored photos. How did you get mixed up in this? He's been talking to humans.
- What? - Talking to humans?! He has a human girlfriend. And they make out! Make out? Barry! We do not. - You wish you could. - Whose side are you on? The bees! I dated a cricket once in San Antonio. Those crazy legs kept me up all night. Barry, this is what you want to do with your life? I want to do it for all our lives. Nobody works harder than bees! Dad, I remember you coming home so overworked your hands were still stirring. You couldn't stop. I remember that. What right do they have to our honey? We live on two cups a year. They put it in lip balm for no reason whatsoever! Even if it's true, what can one bee do? Sting them where it really hurts. In the face! The eye! - That would hurt. - No. Up the nose? That's a killer. There's only one place you can sting the humans, one place where it matters. Hive at Five, the hive's only full-hour action news source. No more bee beards! With Bob Bumble at the anchor desk. Weather with Storm Stinger. Sports with Buzz Larvi. And Jeanette Ohung. - Good evening. I'm Bob Bumble. - And I'm Jeanette Ohung. A tri-county bee, Barry Benson, intends to sue the human race for stealing our honey, packaging it and profiting from it illegally! Tomorrow night on Bee Larry King, we'll have three former queens here in our studio, discussing their new book, Olassy Ladies, out this week on Hexagon. Tonight we're talking to Barry Benson. Did you ever think, "I'm a kid from the hive. I can't do this"? Bees have never been afraid to change the world. What about Bee Oolumbus? Bee Gandhi? Bejesus? Where I'm from, we'd never sue humans. We were thinking of stickball or candy stores. How old are you? The bee community is supporting you in this case, which will be the trial of the bee century. You know, they have a Larry King in the human world too. It's a common name. Next week... He looks like you and has a show and suspenders and colored dots... Next week... Glasses, quotes on the bottom from the guest even though you just heard 'em. Bear Week next week! They're scary, hairy and here live. Always leans forward, pointy shoulders, squinty eyes, very Jewish. In tennis, you attack at the point of weakness! It was my grandmother, Ken. She's 81. Honey, her backhand's a joke! I'm not gonna take advantage of that? Quiet, please. Actual work going on here. - Is that that same bee? - Yes, it is! I'm helping him sue the human race.
- Hello. - Hello, bee. This is Ken. Yeah, I remember you. Timberland, size ten and a half. Vibram sole, I believe. Why does he talk again? Listen, you better go 'cause we're really busy working. But it's our yogurt night! Bye-bye. Why is yogurt night so difficult?! You poor thing. You two have been at this for hours! Yes, and Adam here has been a huge help. - Frosting... - How many sugars? Just one. I try not to use the competition. So why are you helping me? Bees have good qualities. And it takes my mind off the shop. Instead of flowers, people are giving balloon bouquets now. Those are great, if you're three. And artificial flowers. - Oh, those just get me psychotic! - Yeah, me too. Bent stingers, pointless pollination. Bees must hate those fake things! Nothing worse than a daffodil that's had work done. Maybe this could make up for it a little bit. - This lawsuit's a pretty big deal. - I guess. You sure you want to go through with it? Am I sure? When I'm done with the humans, they won't be able to say, "Honey, I'm home," without paying a royalty! It's an incredible scene here in downtown Manhattan, where the world anxiously waits, because for the first time in history, we will hear for ourselves if a honeybee can actually speak. What have we gotten into here, Barry? It's pretty big, isn't it? I can't believe how many humans don't work during the day. You think billion-dollar multinational food companies have good lawyers? Everybody needs to stay behind the barricade. - What's the matter? - I don't know, I just got a chill. Well, if it isn't the bee team. You boys work on this? All rise! The Honorable Judge Bumbleton presiding. All right. Oase number 4475, Superior Oourt of New York, Barry Bee Benson v. the Honey Industry is now in session. Mr. Montgomery, you're representing the five food companies collectively? A privilege. Mr. Benson... you're representing all the bees of the world? I'm kidding. Yes, Your Honor, we're ready to proceed. Mr. Montgomery, your opening statement, please. Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, my grandmother was a simple woman. Born on a farm, she believed it was man's divine right to benefit from the bounty of nature God put before us. If we lived in the topsy-turvy world
Mr. Benson imagines, just think of what would it mean. I would have to negotiate with the silkworm for the elastic in my britches! Talking bee! How do we know this isn't some sort of holographic motion-picture-capture Hollywood wizardry? They could be using laser beams! Robotics! Ventriloquism! Oloning! For all we know, he could be on steroids! Mr. Benson? Ladies and gentlemen, there's no trickery here. I'm just an ordinary bee. Honey's pretty important to me. It's important to all bees. We invented it! We make it. And we protect it with our lives. Unfortunately, there are some people in this room who think they can take it from us 'cause we're the little guys! I'm hoping that, after this is all over, you'll see how, by taking our honey, you not only take everything we have but everything we are! I wish he'd dress like that all the time. So nice! Oall your first witness. So, Mr. Klauss Vanderhayden of Honey Farms, big company you have. I suppose so. I see you also own Honeyburton and Honron! Yes, they provide beekeepers for our farms. Beekeeper. I find that to be a very disturbing term. I don't imagine you employ any bee-free-ers, do you? - No. - I couldn't hear you. - No. - No. Because you don't free bees. You keep bees. Not only that, it seems you thought a bear would be an appropriate image for a jar of honey. They're very lovable creatures. Yogi Bear, Fozzie Bear, Build-A-Bear. You mean like this? Bears kill bees! How'd you like his head crashing through your living room?! Biting into your couch! Spitting out your throw pillows! OK, that's enough. Take him away. So, Mr. Sting, thank you for being here. Your name intrigues me. - Where have I heard it before? - I was with a band called The Police. But you've never been a police officer, have you? No, I haven't. No, you haven't. And so here we have yet another example of bee culture casually stolen by a human for nothing more than a prance-about stage name. Oh, please.
Have you ever been stung, Mr. Sting? Because I'm feeling a little stung, Sting. Or should I say... Mr. Gordon M. Sumner! That's not his real name?! You idiots! Mr. Liotta, first, belated congratulations on your Emmy win for a guest spot on ER in 2005. Thank you. Thank you. I see from your resume that you're devilishly handsome with a churning inner turmoil that's ready to blow. I enjoy what I do. Is that a crime? Not yet it isn't. But is this what it's come to for you? Exploiting tiny, helpless bees so you don't have to rehearse your part and learn your lines, sir? Watch it, Benson! I could blow right now! This isn't a goodfella. This is a badfella! Why doesn't someone just step on this creep, and we can all go home?! - Order in this court! - You're all thinking it! Order! Order, I say! - Say it! - Mr. Liotta, please sit down! I think it was awfully nice of that bear to pitch in like that. I think the jury's on our side. Are we doing everything right, legally? I'm a florist. Right. Well, here's to a great team. To a great team! Well, hello. - Ken! - Hello. I didn't think you were coming. No, I was just late. I tried to call, but... the battery. I didn't want all this to go to waste, so I called Barry. Luckily, he was free. Oh, that was lucky. There's a little left. I could heat it up. Yeah, heat it up, sure, whatever. So I hear you're quite a tennis player. I'm not much for the game myself. The ball's a little grabby. That's where I usually sit. Right... there. Ken, Barry was looking at your resume, and he agreed with me that eating with chopsticks isn't really a special skill. You think I don't see what you're doing? I know how hard it is to find the rightjob. We have that in common. Do we? Bees have 100 percent employment, but we do jobs like taking the crud out. That's just what I was thinking about doing. Ken, I let Barry borrow your razor for his fuzz. I hope that was all right. I'm going to drain the old stinger. Yeah, you do that. Look at that. You know, I've just about had it with your little mind games. - What's that? - Italian Vogue. Mamma mia, that's a lot of pages. A lot of ads. Remember what Van said, why is your life more valuable than mine? Funny, I just can't seem to recall that! I think something stinks in here! I love the smell of flowers. How do you like the smell of flames?! Not as much. Water bug! Not taking sides! Ken, I'm wearing a Ohapstick hat! This is pathetic! I've got issues! Well, well, well, a royal flush! - You're bluffing. - Am I? Surf's up, dude! Poo water! That bowl is gnarly. Except for those dirty yellow rings! Kenneth! What are you doing?! You know, I don't even like honey! I don't eat it! We need to talk! He's just a little bee! And he happens to be the nicest bee I've met in a long time! Long time? What are you talking about?!
Long time? What are you talking about?! Are there other bugs in your life? No, but there are other things bugging me in life. And y

Aw, I love you, anon. Yeah.
JJK || Walk the Line
pairing: professor!jungkook x rich business student/fem!y/n
warnings: smut (18+), explicit language, alcohol drinking, sir kink, unprotected sex*(don't do this), rough sex/marking, creampie <3 , very very very brief breastplay, smol praise
You're not so proud of this.
The summer before your final semester in college was unforgettable.
Shit happened, and you ended up in Dubai with all of your girlfriends, getting wasted out of your mind with like 30 oil princes.
You were hot. You were young. You had the time of your life.
You drank Pink Whitney like water for a week straight. There was no recovering from that hangover...ever.
Three weeks later you're back at college with the most stubborn headache you've ever had and terrible nausea whenever you so much as smell a drop of vodka.
You still have to show up to your Business 102 class at 8 AM in order to collect the syllabus.
Outside of the lecture room, you stared at the name of the professor on your schedule for at least five minutes before shaking off the impossible feeling of familiarity and walking in.
It couldn't possibly...
You set down your bag on the small arm-desk supported by the chair and sit down before reaching over and pulling out your tablet.
That's when you lift your eyes up and see him-- Jeon Jungkook's tell-tale slender figure, his tattooed hands, and his charming smile. You've seen that body naked, felt those hands squeeze your ass and tits, kissed that smile.
Fuck no.
You lower your eyes, as if that would make you invisible to him. It doesn't, obviously.
You can feel his eyes burning into the top of your head. He's watching you curiously, as if he can quite remember where he knows you from. This is good news. Maybe he doesn't recognize you.
"Y/N....right?" Jungkook approaches your chair. "I really didn't expect you to be in my class this semester."
There goes that theory.
"Yeah, well...I am a business major and this is a required class, so," you mumble.
"Hey, listen...I want to keep things professional between us. I know we had some fun before this, but my job is very important to me," he elaborates.
You're not even looking at him. How disrespectful. "Look at me when I'm talking to you, hm?" Jungkook demands.
It's second nature that you lift your head up and meet his glinting eyes. "Yes, sir," you say.
"I know you're used to calling me that..." He laughs, throwing himself back to the front of the room to start writing on the board. "Call me Jungkook, here."
You nod in agreement.
You're unable to focus for the entire class, quietly wondering if it's too late to change professors. Student services is probably gonna bitch at you for it.
Actually, it might be worth the trouble.
Jungkook's lectures were well-thought out and he had really good PowerPoints on the material, so overall he was a good professor...it's just that you can't look at him and not remember the time he made love to you in his vacation home in Barcelona.
It was a stellar night. You remember every second of it vividly. He told you he was there for a convention and the beaches, but he stayed an extra week to explore the city.
"Just like how I'll explore your body," he said in the same breath.
The glittering city overlooked your two bodies as they grinded, pushed, and pulled against one another.
"I'm going to pound this pussy until you're dizzy," he hummed against your skin, grabbing a handful of your ass and jiggling it. "So tight,," he groaned.
You've fucked on the sands of Barcelona the morning after on a private beach, too. While the sun rose, he made love to your body unlike you've ever felt before.
You stare at the wall now, daydreaming of that fateful night.
He catches you and calls you out for it. "Y/N, can you tell me what Computer Aided Manufacturing entails and what kind of firm might benefit from the use of CAM?"
"Uhh, yeah," you swallow. "A public...limited corporation might benefit from CAM."
Jungkook gestures for you to elaborate, shifting his weight on his feet.
"Because...They'd have a lot of investors who would fund the working capital."
He nods. "Good girl,"
You choke on your iced coffee. Who the hell does he think he is?! At least five other women give you a death stare after he says that. You're in no mood to make enemies.
After class, you try your best to blend into the dwindling mob crowding the exit so that he doesn't pull you over to talk again. In fact, you don't ever want to talk to Jeon Jungkook ever again.
As you navigate campus, you try to keep your mind off of what just happened and figure out a place to eat for lunch. Your phone goes off.
It's a number you haven't seen in a long time, but you do recognize it. It's your professor.
If you don't answer it, you might risk your grade in the class. What if it's some important information about the syllabus? You can't take that chance. You answer the phone.
"This is Y/N, what can I do for you?" you ask, cheerfully.
Jungkook sits on his desk on the other end of the line, swinging his legs. "I don't know...explain to me what you were doing in Dubai three weeks ago? I saw that video."
"That's literally none of your concern and I thought we agreed to never talk about it again," you say, harshly.
"Oh, but I want to," he insists. "I want to talk about that night in Barcelona. I want to talk about how you were squirming in your seat today. This phone call never happened by the way..." Jungkook smirks.
Of course it didn't.
"Okay, well...I don't," you reply.
"Really? You're telling me right now that you were zoning out in my class thinking about some other guy?" Jungkook laughed. "Do you take me as naive?"
"No, Jungkook."
"Huh?" He pushes.
"No, Sir."
He smiles and ends the call. He then proceeds to send you a simple text message with an address attached. "Be there at 8."
You look up from your phone, trying not to look too obvious. Despite your mind telling you how fucked up this is...when have you ever let that stop you?
A few hours later...
He leans on the frame of his door, sipping on a "world's greatest teacher" mug with his sweat pants on as you arrive at his place. You have the strongest urge to wipe that cocky grin off his face.
Jungkook moves out of the way so that you can walk inside and so that he could close the door.
You take off your shoes, carefully placing them in the shoe holders before slipping on a pair of inside shoes.
There's scent of cooking garlic in the air, with undertones of steamed tomatoes and basil.
"Look at you, culturally aware..." Jungkook praises, putting his mug down on the kitchen counter. "Thank you."
"I just don't want to get your floors dirty..." you say, stepping up towards the kitchen. "What are you cooking tonight?"
Jungkook smiles, glad you asked. "It's just a chicken primavera. It's vegetarian, actually, so there's no chicken."
"Oh, it smells good..." you sigh.
He comes up behind you and holds your waist flush against his body. "We can eat. You smell just as good..."
Every time you kissed him you tasted the food he made with his own two hands, the same hands that touched you so intimately in Spain touch you now, sending pleasure through your body in waves.
He has mirrors in his room so that every time you open your eyes you watch your body being fucked religiously by the godly form that is your business professor.
The command he has over your body is complete. The sticky warmth of his bare skin smacking against yours harmonized with every sound that escaped your lips. He swallowed every moan, languidly swirling his hips inside of you.
Every demand was met with a "Yes, Sir," and every compliant response earned a sultry "Good girl." You were his student, and he loved rewarding you.
"You're going to listen to me and only during those lectures. I don't care how wet you get from remembering how I fucked you. You won't fail my class," he kneads you harshly, imprinting on your ass.
",, mm!" You whine, rolling your eyes back with every life-giving thrust inside of your dripping cunt. It's thrilling, like an addiction. You can feel the familiar flutter along with the rapid palpitations of your heart.
You bury your face between his pillows and bring your hips up so he can use you better.
He whips his head back and groans deeply, his nails digging into your thighs as he smacks himself deep into your cervix. "Such a sweet little cunt,," he pants. "Ohh,,"
Jungkook lowers himself and starts to kiss up your back as he thrusts, planting adoring kisses down your back. A rush overcomes you at the realization of his affection.
"Mm!" You exclaim. "Fuck~! Fuck, if you don't stop I'm going to cum,"
Jungkook doesn't relent. He continues his vigorous pace, his tattooed hands cupping your tits as his thighs slap against yours.
He gasps, suddenly, painting you with his cum. You convulse around him, creaming around him for every drop of it as a surge of euphoric pleasure surges through you.
Old habits die hard.
a/n: I get really giggly when I am being pounded into :). Imagine y/n as the giggly type if you can. Should I make it a series? lmk.

part twenty-three: I'm here now
P U S H + P U L L
pairing: student!changbin x student!reader
-> in which you are trying to survive college life but seem to have a thorn in your side in the form of Seo Changbin. After years of hating each other can you decide to remain civil with the handsome rapper? (let's just hope he doesn't come across that private thirst account you have for him)
word count: 2k
notes: There are actual warnings for this chapter so please follow them
warnings: drinking, harassment, slight violence, cursing
previous < masterlist > next
Taglist: @bigsobforskz @ethereallino @hhjkji @freckledquokka @randomness7198 @sai-kida134 @skzooo @sunflowerbebe07 @rindomo @meowtella @imtoanonymousforyou @tmrwxtogether @jaycheoluwu @straykids-yohhhh
====================================
"Dude, are you ready to leave or what?" Jisung asked as soon as he was standing on the threshold of Changbin's room, staring at the man expectantly. That's what broke Changbin out of his daze, his eyes snapping from his reflection in the mirror to his waiting friend.
"Yeah," he sighed, putting on a tight-lipped smile so Jisung wouldn't pick up on his underlying frustration. Jisung stood in the entrance, unmoving, staring at his older friend.
"You've been off this past week, what's going on?" the younger asked. Changbin felt as though his dark eyes were burning into his skin, making him wince at his poorly concealed feelings.
"It's nothing," Changbin muttered. Jisung's head tilted to the side as his face portrayed a mix of disbelief and boredom at the man dodging his questions yet again.
"Nothing?" Jisung squeaked. "You're really gonna pull that card again? Just tell me already so we can get this over with." Changbin's shoulders drooped at his friend's words, he'd hoped Jisung would just drop the subject like he had the last time he had asked him why he was acting so strange.
"I was stupid and now I regret it," Changbin sighed. "That's it." Jisung narrowed his brown eyes at the elder man, studying his features, probably trying to determine if he should drop the subject or keep pushing. After a while, he sighed.
"Is this about Y/n?" Jisung asked simply.
"What? Why would this be about Y/n?" Changbin questioned, eyes wide. Jisung looked to Changbin and the man could recognise something akin to sympathy on the younger's face.
"I know you don't hate her," Jisung spoke, voice soft, almost as if he were scared Changbin would explode on him if he were to say the wrong thing.
"I don't k-" Changbin tried but was quickly interrupted by Jisung.
"The way you talked about her back then, all of the s-" This time it was Changbin cutting off his friend with a slight scowl.
"Okay, okay." Changbin surrendered. "Are we going out or should we keep this heart to heart going?" he asked boredly.
"Let's get wasted!" Jisung sang as he turned on his heel and skipped toward the door, Changbin following behind. "But, we'll continue this later," Jisung added and Changbin let out a huff in protest.
---
It felt like Ryujin and Yuna had been throwing shots your way from the second you entered the club. It was a popular spot for people your age, you could barely recognise a few faces in the crowd but as the night wore on and the shots kept coming the faces got blurrier and the lights got brighter. The bright pink lights began to irritate you the moment you turned around and your two dormmates were nowhere to be seen. You could have sworn that they were right there. Now though, it was almost impossible to make out a face in the sea of many. As you walked through the club in search of your friends the bass boomed and bodies swayed and brushed off you, you didn't mind though, too occupied with your current mission. You opened your phone, hoping to find the answers to all your problems there but you realised that you could barely make out the font on the screen, ah yes, it was always your sight that the alcohol seemed to hit first. Your eyebrows furrow as you push through the dancing bodies, trying to get somewhere with less noise, hoping that you could then focus on contacting either girl.
The second you pushed open the steel door and was hit with the cold night air you let out a breath of relief, the bright lights transitioning into the soft streetlights lining the street. Your eyes focus back down to your device and you rang both Ryujin and Yuna, but you had no such luck. You figured as much. You let out a huff of frustration but stopped when your fingers hovered over Chan's contact. You remembered your plans with him tonight and smiled softly, you were sure he'd be happy to come to collect you early so you could spend more time together. You pressed on his contact, lifting your phone to your ear. It rang and rang again. It rang until the sound was cut off by Chan's voicemail saying that he was busy and to call back. So you did, again and again. But, nothing.
At this point, you felt like you needed to scream. Was your phone broken or does the world hate you? Your distress must have been apparent because your face was drawn away from your phone at the sound of someone clearing their throat. Your gaze floats from your phone toward a man standing in front of you, he was slightly taller so you were forced to tilt your head up. He seemed slightly old to be in a club with mostly college students but who were you to judge.
"Hi, are you okay?" The man smiles, you smile politely back at him.
"Oh, yeah, I just lost my friends. I'm trying to get ahold of them," you chuckle slightly and the man does the same, subtly sliding in closer to you.
"You poor thing," he speaks. "I can help you if you want," he gives you a lazy smirk and there's something about that look that sent off warning signals in your mind.
"Oh, no. I think I'm okay," you force out an awkward chuckle but the man doesn't seem to register your words. His hand, which you hadn't realised was hovering over your side, was now reaching to your face. You winced as you felt his fingers brush your face, settling to cup your jaw. He was so close. Much too close.
"Babe, there you are," a warm voice pierces through the cold air and you feel an arm wrap around your waist, slightly pulling you to the side so the man's hand had no other option than falling down by his side once again. Your eyes widened at the addition of a second man but when your eyes met his, your erratic heartbeat seemed to settle somewhat. Changbin held you close by your waist, his warmth radiating through your body, making you forget about the unwanted stranger glaring holes into Changbin and you. He snuck a glance at the man who still stood there, surprised he hadn't gotten the message. When Changbin's eyes met yours again he noticed how your body had turned to his fully, allowing you to press yourself against him. "I'm sorry" he whispered and you were about to ask him what he meant but when you felt two of his fingers tilting your chin upwards slightly you were speechless. His lips met yours quickly, there was nothing calm about the meeting. His lips met yours, and you gave in, following his lead when you felt his tongue against your lips. It was sloppy but you didn't care. Changbin pulled away slowly, his eyes pleading with you not to scream at him, and you didn't. It was when you were staring at Changbin's plush lips that seemed to be ever so slightly plumper than usual that you noticed a figure moving beside you. Your eyes widen as you look to the side, shocked that the man had stayed and now looked angrier than ever. Changbin followed your gaze, recognizing the man's persistence.
"Look man, I'm here now, just leave," Changbin spoke, his voice coming out slightly hoarse. You were surprised by the growl in his words and you couldn't see his face now but you were sure he was scowling at the stranger.
"What the fuck do you think you're doing? I was here first," the man growled, though it wasn't near as menacing as Changbin. He took a step closer again, but not toward you this time, his sights were now solely set on your supposed 'boyfriend'. Changbin's eyes widened as he took in the man's words, disbelieving that this was a real situation. The man grew closer again and Changbin withdrew his arm from you, waiting for the man to try something. The man's eyes were shaking slightly, a clear sign that he was at least a bit drunk.
"What are you trying to do here? Leave," Changbin spat. Changbin hadn't been expecting it, so when the blow to his cheek came, his head snapped to the side and he heard a faint gasp coming from you. It didn't take long for Changbin to regain his posture, though and when he did, he saw the unknown man in a fighting stance. Changbin's fist flew toward the man so fast you could barely process the movement. The impact must have been something terrible because then man seemed to crumble to the ground, withering in pain as he held his cheek. Changbin grabbed your hand and stepped under the smoking area barrier onto the street. You felt the tug of your wrist but your eyes were glued to the man on the ground, Changbin having to push your head down so you could walk under the barrier too.
Once you were out on the street everything felt quiet apart from the occasional laughter echoing down the street. Changbin led you by your hand away from the club, his grip fierce and stride confident. He stopped a couple of buildings down where there was a bus shelter and when he concluded that that man hadn't been following you, he lead you to the seat. You didn't sit down though, your head was swimming with thoughts as you stared down at the place where your fingers were laced with his. Changbin seemed to notice this and quickly let his fingers slip away from yours, much to your dismay.
"Are you... okay?" Changbin tried, unsure of how to approach you. When you didn't show any interest in replying he was about to give up, call a taxi for you and bring you back home but when he saw a single tear slip down your cheek his plan slipped to the back of his mind. "Hey, hey," he called softly and when your glassy eyes met his, his heart almost broke. The tears were pooled up in your eyes and your eyebrows were drawn up slightly. Changbin reached up to your hair and began to smooth your hair down, he vaguely remembered Chan saying something about you liking the action when you were upset. "It's okay, he's gone," he spoke and you nodded in reply, trying not to let more tears fall but a few stray tears escaped anyway.
"Thank you," you whispered, voice small as you were fack to staring at the ground.
"You don't need to thank me," he replied simply. "Let's get you home, okay?" the affection in his tone was suffocating, you don't think you've ever heard him speak like that.
"I was supposed to stay with Chan but he's not picking up," you explained. "And I didn't bring the key to my dorm," you sigh and Chanbin doesn't stop playing with your hair while you speak.
"Okay, you can stay at mine and Felix's," Changbin nods. "Is that okay with you?" You hate how unsure he sounds, how you're sure he thinks that you could lash out at him even after what he did.
"That's okay," you sigh. "Thank you, Changbin." You stare up into his dark eyes. He visibly gulps, trying to get over the fact that he thinks this is the first time you've said his first name, certainly the first time you've said it like that.
"Don't thank me, anyone would have done the same," he countered and though you were unsure whether he was right or not, you let it drop. Your energy was quickly depleting, it felt like you had gone through every single emotion in the one night and you were exhausted. So much so that when Changbin had gotten a taxi for the two of you, you hadn't even noticed that your head had fallen against his shoulder as you dozed off in a light sleep. And you definitely didn't register that Changbin was basically carrying you up the stairs of his dorm building, leading you inside to his bedroom, tucking you into bed before grabbing one of those makeup wipes that Felix had in the bathroom cabinet from one of his youtube videos and removing your makeup. He slipped out of the room, heart pounding in his chest as he grabbed the blanket from the couch and lay down, welcoming the much-needed sleep.

Fritz is going to pass in history as the only person who got to do the most improbable and embrassing thing and to take Admiral Kazansky down with him. The man who's he worships the ground he walk on and who's been his greatest crush since when Bradely showed him a picture of his uncles back when he was ten years old. Frizt has a thing for older man and an even bigger things for Thomas Kazansky.
So when it happens and said Admiral ends up on him, face at least than once centimetre away, he feels like heaven has opened his door for him and only him. He takes to feel like that for almost two entire minutes before everyone and their staff manager is shouting and taking Admiral Kazansky away from his chest. He misses him already.
They're gonna talk about this at his wedding and during his eulogy, years from now, because it was so awsome. Not the part where he tripped in front of all the people he could have tripped in front of but, y'know, the following part was actually so awsome.
Phoenix is at his right, Roo at his left and Vice Admiral Cyclone is patting Admiral Kazansky everywhere to see if it's okay. And the Admiral is laughing, full blown scale laugh. Simpson check the kid, I'm alright, and try to not made his life impossible. It wasn't his fault. Fitz is looking at this man, a couple of steps from him, standing up, straightening his uniform and coming towards him with his end out to help him on his feet and he can't find a single word to say to him if not I'm so sorry Admiral.
Think nothing of it ki-Lieutenant, you probably saved me from hours of long boring speeches. Let's get your ribs checked, I'm not as lit as I was thirty years ago.
People are going to talk about this day yes, at his wedding and at his funeral, as the day he tripped, took down Admiral Kazansky with him and then Admiral Kazansky himself took him, with an arm around his shoulder to the doctor. Ah, fuck them and their eating together with the Admiral, he got the preferential treatment and the man is hugging him! Or at least he's giving half of a hug. Fritz isn't pitchy.
(Captain Mitchell is sitting on one that blue and really uncomfortable hospital chairs, when Fritz finishes with the doctor. He's looking at him without really been looking at him and, the moment the Admiral is out of the room too, Maverick is on his feet.
I get held back once because of paperwork and you fall on one of my students! And worst of all they call me telling me you were in an accident and at the hospital, Frizt know he isn't quiet screaming but he feels like the man had quiet a scare, maybe he should intervene to say it wasn't the Admiral's fault? But worst of it all Iceman no one, and I say no one, not even Rooster that little traitor, filmed it. Now I'll have to leave with the idea of what it happened without having hard proof of you being clumsy once in a while.
Oh, that's and interesting turn of events, maybe someone should fetch him pop corn if they're going to be there for a little longer? But then they are both laughing, and Maverick is gently moving the Admiral's face to check if everything's okay before kissing his nose. You're allowed to have this kind of fun without me, got it Kazansy?
Yeah, whatever makes you sleep at night Mav he answers sweetly before kissing him on the lips, once and then a second time. Yep, Fritz is gonna need popcorn, ASAP.)
((In the next two days the Admiral comes around during class to check if he's really okay and if he feels like flying or not. Frizt would very much like to inform this man that he's already personally flying without the need of a plane, thank you very much sir.))
