A/N: I eagerly await your reactions to this one lmaoooooo don’t kill me

—-------

Your boots thudded on the steps as you walked down them to the cells, following Billy and Frank down there. Without rage and betrayal burning hot inside you like a thousand suns, the smell made your nose wrinkle a little as you got to the bottom. Things were finally coming to a head. Just moments before, you’d been eating breakfast with Billy and everyone else when you got informed a vampire was outside of the castle. He was almost killed on sight but was yelling about having an important message to deliver to the King. Billy had been mindlinked, asking what they should do and of course you were both curious so he’d told them to take him to the cells. You had no idea what kind of message it would be but you knew it had to be important for this vampire to go on a suicide mission. Coming right up to the castle like he had wasn’t a smart move. The three of you stopped outside of the cell to see a vampire sitting calmly against the back wall. He was bruised and a little bloody but you didn’t blame the guards for being rough, no matter how compliant the blood sucker might have been. Billy unlocked the cell door, the three of you stepping inside. None of you needed to worry. You knew the guards would have patted him down, checked for any weapons and confiscated them. It wasn't like he could kill you anyway, you were all immortal and Billy was far more powerful than anyone you’d ever known, including the little pest that looked up and gave you all an easy smile as you entered.

“What’s your message?” Billy asked roughly, his voice cold and devoid of any of the warmth you knew it to hold.

“The Vampire King is done playing around, he wants to settle this once and for all. No more games or tricks, he wants to meet tomorrow night, 10 pm, at the Dead Fields and have a real battle like men,” the vampire explained unflinchingly. Nerves bloomed in your stomach, knowing this was it, things were finally reaching their peak. You felt somewhat relieved though that it would be settled in a real battle out there and you didn't have to worry about them storming the castle. The vampire looked directly at Billy then, staring right into his eyes in a show of complete disrespect as a dark grin curled on his lips.

“The King has missed you, William,” he smirked and you felt a stab of anger, grief and pain hit you out of nowhere. Billy growled low and moved in a blink and your eyes widened as he lunged at him, snapping his neck with such force, the head twisted clean off. He tossed it to the floor and you saw his hands curling and uncurling into fists as his chest heaved, his shoulder rolling. When he turned back to you and Frank, his face was impassive, his anger once again under control as you eyed him warily.

“It’s convenient timing, don't you think?” you asked dryly, eyes darting between Frank and Billy. Though the moon was fixed, it hadn’t been full yet and you wondered if they’d picked the time before it turned full, knowing most of the wolves weren’t exactly in top form with going without their shifts for so long.

“It is but we need to just end this. Frank, gather the warriors, tell ‘em what’s going on. They need to be ready,” he instructed and Frank nodded, making his way out of the cells. You and Billy started to leave too, no need for you to be stuck down here with the smells anymore and you made your way back up and outside. You felt nerves prickling at you over what would happen the next night but you felt some comfort in knowing you were immortal now, as was Billy, so you didn’t need to worry about that at least. You’d asked Billy days ago to make some of your pack immortal too and when you’d asked, he’d told you that he wasn't supposed to just do it for anyone, wasn't supposed to just toss it out there to anyone. Only special people were to be granted with it but he’d told you that these were your people, your family, so he’d allowed it for you. You’d broached it to your pack, given them the option. A lot of them opted not to do it and you didn't blame them, eternal life was a scary concept and you didn't think you’d fully wrapped your head around it, although you knew spending it with Billy made it less scary. Some of them did accept though, Viron and Damon being among them.

You spent most of the rest of the day in your old pack house after informing them of what was to come. Not everyone would be fighting, a lot of wolves here were not fighters at all and you wanted people to stay here to keep the others safe. You’d started to get concerned that this whole thing was a trap to lure the strongest away as they killed the rest and you’d requested your pack to stay behind and defend the castle and you wanted to ask Billy to spare some of his men too. You hadn’t broached it with Billy yet as you hadn't seen him and you hoped he wouldn't mind. You’d admit part of it was selfish. With already losing so much, you couldn't handle losing more and you knew being worried was a distraction, that it would cause issues out in the battlefield. This way, you didn’t need to worry and you knew they were strong enough to help protect the place while you were gone. That evening, Billy sent you a mindlink letting you know to come to his dining chambers for dinner. You were surprised as you hadn’t eaten there since that first time, but you said your goodbyes to your old pack before you headed for the castle. You got there just as everyone else did too and you walked inside to see Billy sitting at the head of the table already, plates and plates of various foods all over the table. You walked over to the same chair you’d sat in the last time, by Billy’s side, and a pang hit your chest at the other chairs next to it, remembering how Kos and Atti had been sitting with you back then. You moved to sit down and were pleasantly surprised when Karen moved to sit next to you, Frank next to her instead of the other side of the King where his place was. It made warmth bloom in your chest because you knew just why they’d done it and you felt grateful that these were your family now, how they always looked out for you even in the smallest of ways.

“I figured we could all have a good dinner before the shitshow of tomorrow,” Billy remarked with a smirk as you all sat down, Curtis and Micro sitting on the other side. You all started to eat and you decided to bring up the topic of having people stay behind to Billy.

“I asked my pack to stay behind and defend the place and I think it would be a good idea for some of your men to stay too. This whole thing could be a trap and we should leave it protected while we’re gone,” you suggested as you looked at him. He had this proud smile on his face as he nodded.

“That’s a good idea,” he murmured, reaching over and taking your hand. You were glad he agreed and he didn't mind it, hadn’t called you out for specifically asking your old pack to stay behind.

“I’ll feel better with that too since Karen’s stayin’ behind. Gives me one less thing to worry about,” Frank admitted between mouthfuls of food.

“I could try and come up with some sort of protection spell, something to keep the place protected too. It might not work, but I’ll see what I can do,” Karen smiled and it made you feel better knowing this. If this did turn out to be a trap, at least you’d find out soon enough and get back before anything could have happened. If magic was keeping the bad out, you'd just fight outside the grounds when you got there. You enjoyed the dinner and listening to the banter the guys all had, especially Billy and Frank giving each other shit for no reason, but the air was still heavy with the anticipation of it all hanging over you. Something none of you could shake even as you tried to have a good time.

“So… what’s the game plan here?” Micro asked once the food was eaten, looking over at Billy.

“Kill everyone that isn’t on our side,” he answered easily and Micro rolled his eyes, giving him a dirty look.

“Obviously, but what's the strategy? How are we gonna do it?” Micro asked with a frown.

“We’re gonna get there early, before they do so we can scope the place out. We can see ‘em as they get there, figure out how many and what we’re dealin’ with here. If we get there first, we could set up and be ready, have the archers in the back ready to attack as they approach, take out as many as we can before it all starts,” he informed, a cold look on his face. “I just want this shit done with,” he added, a haunted look flitting over his face and you gave his hand a squeeze. He looked at you and you gave him a reassuring smile that had his shoulders relaxing a little, his eyes warming up as he smiled back.

“I can’t wait to get my hands on that piece of shit after what he did to Maria and the kids,” Frank growled.

“You and me both, Frankie,” Billy muttered tensely. “He won’t get away again, not this time,” he shot Frank a smirk but it was full of dark promises and Frank nodded, looking ready for the fight. You knew how much they both wanted this, how much they needed it. Karen had told you a little bit more about the whole thing as you were curious, it happened way before your time and you couldn't ask Billy about it. You knew he would get upset and he didn't like talking about it at all to anyone. You’d been curious though why Maria and the kids hadn’t been made immortal like Frank had but Karen told you that back then, none of them were immortal, only Billy. It was after what happened that the Goddess gave him that power, gave him the ritual to make others immortal. You knew that must have stung, to have that power now and wish he had it before so this couldn't have happened, although Karen did tell you that the ritual couldn't be used on kids. You knew your ritual had been different to the others being his mate but Karen told you that the ritual was basically similar to yours, just without the sex. The cutting with daggers thing was still in the ritual and it wasn't ethical to do that to a child, obviously. There was also the added weirdness of staying trapped in a child’s body for the rest of eternity while your mind would age. You wanted this war over with for Billy, for the others sitting at the table who needed this closure more than anything. Frank had allowed himself to move on somewhat since he found his second mate and it helped to stop him descending into madness. He hadn't gotten over it, he probably never would, but Karen helped him. You knew it was different for Billy though. Not only had he lost people he considered his family but you knew he felt like the blame lay with him for it. As the King, he felt responsible and like he should have stopped it somehow, as if he was the one to take their lives with his own bare hands. You wanted them to kill the Vampire King once and for all and stop this war, wanted them to be able to move forward and finally heal from the trauma they’d endured.

After dinner, everyone filed out of the dining chambers as they murmured goodnight and it left you there with Billy. As you both got up and left the room, you started making your way to your room when he took your hand and tugged you towards the stairs.

“Where are we going?” you asked curiously, eyes narrowing at his impish grin as he led you down the stairs.

“You’ll find out when we get there,” he smirked vaguely and you huffed, giving him a mock dirty look. You followed him willingly though, hand in hand as he led you out of the castle and then out of the castle grounds. You wanted to ask him again where hell you were going but you knew he wouldn't answer you so you kept your mouth shut. Eventually, you came upon the lake and you smiled to yourself, remembering the first time you’d been here with him. It felt like forever ago. The moon hung high in the sky, the stars keeping it company and the light shimmered off the lake as you stood and just admired the view. Billy came up behind you, hands settling on your hips and you melted back into him as he nuzzled your neck. He placed soft kisses up to your ear, his hands tightening on your hips.

“Run,” he growled and you tensed up at first, wondering if danger was afoot but then you felt it. You felt the arousal he was feeling, his pure blind need for you and your knees almost buckled. You glanced over your shoulder at him, his dark eyes burning into you with a predatory glint and it sparked something inside of you as he let you go and you took off running to the trees. You felt the thrill of the chase as you darted and weaved through the trees, chest heaving and a fire burning inside of you. You could hear him chasing you and it pushed you to run faster. You knew he could catch you easily if he wanted, he was much faster than you, so you knew he wasn't using his full speed. He seemed to want to drag out the chase a little and you felt your blood singing as the adrenaline coursed through your veins. You were surprised to find that while you weren’t as fast as Billy, you were much faster than you had been previously and you thought back to what Billy said about becoming stronger and faster after the ritual. You wolf enjoyed the chase, enjoyed running around in the woods with the wind whipping your face and the heady scent of his arousal carried to you, making you ache for him. You looped around, running back the way you came around the trees and he almost caught you but you pushed your legs faster, the pair of you laughing as you darted back to the clearing to the lake. As you burst through the trees, he grabbed you from behind, a growl rumbling in his chest as a delighted laugh tumbled from your lips. He turned you around, kissing you fiercely and you pressed yourself close to him, kissing him back just as demanding. He wasted no time in getting you both undressed and the cold air bit your skin but it did little to quell the raging inferno you felt inside of you. His mouth was insistent against yours once more, his hands everywhere all at once and leaving a trail of fire behind. He gripped the back of your thighs and hoisted you up and your legs wrapped around him. He dropped to his knees, laying you on the grass as he hovered over you, lips demanding all of your attention as his hand firmly held your jaw. You gasped into the kiss as he pushed into you and you didn't think you'd ever get used to how amazing it felt when he filled you up like this. He wasn't soft or slow this time, he started out fast and hard, setting a punishing rhythm that had loud moans being forced from your lungs that you were sure they could probably hear all the way back at the castle. You tugged at his hair, arching up at him before you rolled you both over and he let out a surprised moan, his face contorted in pleasure at you taking him in even deeper. His eyes fluttered open, that same look of awe and adoration on his face that floored you every time and you started to ride him, the wolf in you wanting it as fast and hard as he did. His hands dug into the flesh of your thighs as he gasped, lips parted in ecstasy as you bounced on his cock with a slew of moans. You rested your hands on his firm chest for leverage, riding him like your life depended on it, chasing the release you knew wasn't too far away.

You leaned down, kissing him bruisingly and you both moaned into the kiss, one of his hands coming to the back of your neck as he devoured your mouth and he arched up into you. His other hand was now on your ass and he kneaded the flesh there, guiding you, pushing you to go faster, harder, deeper. You felt on the edge of delirium, pleasure wrapping around you like a snake. Your thighs started to tremble, your movements faltering as the pleasure took hold of your limbs.

“Billy… I…” you gasped against his lips and his hands moved to your hips, grabbing them firmly.

“I got you, Sweetheart,” he moaned, using the grip on your hips to move you up and down, taking over as your body couldn't handle it. He was rough and you felt dizzy, felt like everything was spinning out of control around you. A desperate moan got torn from you as your climax hit you hard and you squirmed on top of him, gasping and moaning as it set you on fire. Billy groaned, eyes squeezed shut as he used his hold on you to push him over the edge too, a filthy moan leaving his lips as he came, rutting up into you. You collapsed on top of him, face in his neck as you both caught your breath and one of his hands came to cradle your head as the other smoothed up your back. You felt weightless and you enjoyed the feeling, enjoyed the blissed out sensation your brain was having. You lay like that with him for a while as you both slowly came down from your highs and then the cold started to nip at you again once your brain started to function properly. You leaned up, looking down at him and he cupped your cheek with a smile.

“I love you,” he murmured, this thumb swiping over your bottom lip and you nipped at it, making him groan and you grinned at him.

“I love you too,” you replied and he smiled up at you adoringly. You climbed off him as you both stood and got dressed, the pair of you knowing you needed to get a good rest for all that was coming tomorrow. When you were both fully dressed, Billy walked over to you, turning his back to you before he bent at the knees and crouched a little.

“Hop on,” he grinned and you blinked at him for a moment.

“Seriously?” you snorted and he turned to you with a smirk. You rolled your eyes good naturedly before you hopped on, letting him give you a piggyback. As he stood up to full height, you squealed a little and he started laughing at you, turning over his shoulder to nuzzle his face against yours. He set off back to the castle and when you arrived, the guards opened the gate with amused looks on their faces but neither of you cared. He carried you like that all the way to your room before he set you down and you smiled to yourself. He helped you get undressed and ready for bed before you returned the favor and then you both got in bed tiredly. He scooped you into his arms and you enjoyed the comfort of his warm embrace, enjoyed the feeling as his fingers traced patterns on your back. You started to feel a little nervous for what lay ahead the next day. You knew you had some advantage being unkillable now but not all of you had the luxury and you didn't want to lose anyone else. Even those wolves here you didn't speak to all the time, you’d grown to care about and these were your people now. You felt some responsibility for them and you were starting to realize just how Billy felt with all of this, how hard it was to be responsible for so many wolves. You knew it was inevitable though, some lives would be lost, it was just how battle went and you hated it. You just had to trust that it would work out somehow, that you'd all win the war and any lives lost wouldn't be in vain. That Kos and Atti hadn't died in vain. You’d get your justice just as Billy would get his and you could finally start a new chapter, free of the burdens looming over you.

The next day, you double checked your weapons without a thought as you approached your old pack house, trying to ignore the nerves prickling at you. You pushed the door open to see all of your old pack huddled in the living room, already waiting for you.

“We’re heading out now. We’ll be back when it's over,” you informed them, trying to sound more confident than you felt. It’s how it always was when you were running head first into battle, despite your reputation. You were always nervous but it kept your wits about you.

“Are you sure you don’t need us to come with you?” Damon asked worriedly and you shook your head.

“You're needed here. If this ends up being a trap, we need as many able bodied people here to defend the place until we get back and I know you guys can handle it,” you assured. He nodded even though he didn't look overly happy with it and you knew he would do his best to keep everyone here safe, just as the rest of them would. Leanna moved over to you then and wrapped you in a hug.

“Good luck,” she murmured, giving you a squeeze as you hugged her back. You thought to little Orion who was still laying in an incubator, thought to Jason who was ready to leave the hospital any day now. You were doing this for them, to ensure the pack had a future, to keep all the innocent wolves safe from the clutches of the blood thirsty vampires. After getting a hug off everyone, you left the house, walking over to the gates where Billy and all of his men were as they got ready. He wrapped you in his arms the second you reached him and you wondered if he felt your nerves. You melted into him, inhaling his scent deeply and letting it wash over you, keeping you calm.

“Are you guys ready?” Frank called out to everyone, his face a mix of excitement for the fight and anger at who he was going to be fighting.

“Yes, sir!” the warriors all answered and Frank nodded.

“Now we’re goin’ to get there and kill every last vampire scum we see, is that clear?” he barked roughly.

“Yes, sir!” they answered again, all looking as determined as Frank did.

“Not one of ‘em gets to get away! They all die tonight!” Frank insisted harshly.

“Yes, sir!”

“You’re all strong, you can do this! You can win this war for the Kingdom and finally restore peace to the people!” Frank shouted encouragingly.

“Yes, sir!” they chorused and you could see them all ready for the fight after Frank had riled them up.

“Alright, it’s time,” Billy informed everyone gravely and then you all set off out. The Dead Fields weren’t too far so you all walked on foot, tension looming in the air over you all as you marched through the forests. You could feel the exhilaration of a fight burning inside of you, wanting justice for all they had done and taken away. You could taste it in the air, like an electrical current that was buzzing around you. Your wolf wanted blood.

As you got near the fields, your eyes narrowed a little and you slowed, Billy looking at you as he slowed too.

“They’re here already,” you muttered, catching the wisps of ash and copper in the air, the distinctive scent of a vampire. You saw Billy’s nostrils flare as he realized the same thing and he shared a look with Frank. That threw the plan off completely. You all looked through the trees to the field to see them all standing there. They had a lot of numbers and you couldn't count them all but it looked like you were pretty evenly matched and you were grateful that Billy had requested more fighters.

“Alright, we push forward. It’s time for plan B,” Billy muttered.

“What’s plan B? Micro asked warily.

“Just kill ‘em all,” Billy shrugged, a dark smirk tugging at his lips. You, Billy, Frank, Curtis and Micro took point up front as the others followed behind you as you came out from the trees and to the field. It was a huge open space, perfect for battle, but they were further down field and made no move towards you despite clearly seeing you all there and as you made your way over.

“King Rawlins is probably gonna wanna do a fuckin’ villian monologue since he loves talkin’ shit,” Frank growled with a shake of his head and you felt wary as you got closer. Billy stopped, leaving a good space between both groups and you all stopped along with him.

“It’s good to see you again, William,” a man smirked cruelly and you presumed he was the King given the fact he had a stupid crown on his head. He was standing there casually, like he wasn't scared in the least, his hands behind his back as he tilted his head at Billy. His face was gnarled, a mess of deep scars like scratches down one side and his eye was milky white. You had a feeling Billy might have done that to him and you felt a sick satisfaction for it. He moved his hands from behind his back and your eyes landed on the glowing red sword he was now brandishing with a gleeful smile and you felt absolute horror and dread seize you so tight that your legs almost buckled. Your head whipped to Billy, knowing those feelings didn't come from you and he was staring at the sword, face white as a sheet and eyes wide.

“What is that thing?” you asked him warily, worried by his reaction as Frank cursed up a storm from Billy’s other side.

“It’s the only thing that can kill me… kill us,” he bit out, his frantic eyes still glued to the sword. Your stomach dropped, plummeting so quickly you thought you were about to collapse into a heap on the floor.

“I thought you couldn’t die?!” you hissed at him.

“There’s always a catch, right?” his voice held humor but as he turned to you, all you saw was blind fear and you knew what was running through his head. You’d both gone into this thinking you at least didn't have to worry about each other, that it was safe and you wouldn’t be losing your mate. You knew it was selfish as not all the warriors here were immortal but it had given you a small comfort to know you didn't have to worry about Billy being killed in battle and you knew he’d felt the same. You knew he didn't give a shit about himself or what happened to him out here, he was worried about you, just as you were now worried about him. Your mind was reeling, horror on your face as your eyes turned back Vampire King who was wielding something that could kill you all as he stared at you all patiently. The stakes just went up and you felt like you might be sick. You felt so ill prepared.

“How the hell did he get that thing? We buried it in fuckin’ Athens,” Frank hissed, eyes flaring as he shifted on his feet.

“No idea,” Billy bit out, his voice wavering a little. He rolled his shoulder, standing up taller as he glared the man opposite down.

“Oh come on, Billy! Why has it taken us so long to reunite?” the Vampire King chuckled, as if he was talking to an old friend and the growl that burst from Billy’s chest was feral.

“You’re gonna die tonight,” he seethed and the Vampire King laughed delightedly.

Everything exploded in an instant. The vampires and rogues ran at you all and you snarled, your sword in hand as you barreled towards them, everyone else doing the same. Your sword clashed with that of a vampire as you started fighting, disarming him and taking his head clean off before you moved on to the next. The desperate urge to look and see Billy or the others, to see if they were doing okay, was eating at you now you knew there was a weapon here that could kill them and you tried to ignore it as you slashed your way mercilessly through the enemies. This was exactly why you hadn't wanted distractions and why you’d left your old back back home. You were glad you’d made that choice. You yelled in fury, hacking at limbs and stabbing through chests as you put all of your hurt and anger and grief into each swipe of your sword. You briefly saw a few of your warriors down and it sent a rage flowing through you like molten lava. You took down anyone that came your way, brutal and unrelenting and so fast now that you never took a hit yourself as you tore through them all like a hurricane. A vampire ran at you with a feral look on his face and you swiped your sword, spinning in a complete circle as you sensed the rogue approaching from behind. You took both heads off with one swipe, the heads rolling onto the floor as their bodies joined them with a thud. You were covered in blood splatter, panting and snarling as you hacked and stabbed. This was for your parents, this was for Kos, this was for Atti, this was for Frank’s family and the overwhelming number of innocent wolves that had died by their hand. This was for the future of your Kingdom and all of your people. This was for Billy. You were busy taking down as many as you could, thinning the herd to make it easier for the others as you used your newfound strength and speed to make light work of it. You took down three more and as they dropped, you were startled to suddenly see the Vampire King standing in front of you. You had no idea where Billy and Frank were, you’d thought they would have been fighting him personally but you didn't have time to look around and check now faced with a very deadly enemy. Your top lip curled into a vicious snarl as you went to swing your sword at him but a blinding pain ripped through your chest like nothing you’d ever felt before and he laughed. He stepped back, a gleeful look on his face and you looked down, seeing the sword sticking right out of your chest.

“NO!” Billy roared and you stumbled back, eyes wide in shock as the pain consumed your entire being.

“Sweet dreams, Queen Y/N,” the Vampire King smirked coldly and you hit the floor heavily. You could hear desperate screaming and yelling around you as you lay there, vision fading in and out and a loud ringing hurting your ears. You heard the loudest growling and snarling you’d ever heard in your life and you opened your heavy eyes, seeing a giant black wolf with eyes glowing silver as he ripped people limb from limb. Your brain was slowly shutting down but the wolf inside of you recognised the wolf as your mate. It was Billy. You watched as he viciously tore people to shreds with blind fury and rage before everything faded into nothingness.

I want to know what love is -

pt.1

Summary: After years of being stuck in an abusive marriage you are hoping to start a new life with your son. Meeting an old acquaintance awakens feelings in you that you thought were long gone. Will your broken heart allow you to love again?

Pairing: Eddie Munson x fem!Reader

Warnings/Tags: No use of y/n, angst, PTSD, domestic violence, injuries, jealousy, brief arguing/raised voices, curse words, hurt/comfort, future fluff, future smut, (let me know if I missed something)

Word Count: 5,052

An: Hi you guys! This is my first attempt at writing of any kind. I'm also new to tumblr and don't know how to create links to masterlist. All feedback is welcome, be gentle please haha. Please do not steal or copy my work. Don’t repost without credit. This is my written work, everything besides the characters and plot points by the original writers, belongs to me.

"Bye! Have a great day at school!" You yelled out the window of your pickup. You watched as your son ran down the walkway towards the line of kids being ushered into the double doors of the school.

"Bye mom!" your third grader yelled back to you as he walked up to the school's double doors.

You waited until he was safely inside before pulling off and merging into the oncoming traffic. You sighed as the cars seemed to move along inch by inch due to the pileup of cars leaving the school. Your mind flashed back to the fight you had with your husband last month as you waited at the stoplight.

You hurriedly ducked down as a beer bottle crashed into the wall where your head used to be. Glass and liquid flew in every direction, some even hitting you in the back of your head as you crouched down. You screamed as your hands flew up to protect your head and face from any flying shards. What followed was a deafening silence causing you to peek from behind your fingers at your assailant. Your husband stood there glaring at you as his chest heaved up and down rapidly.

He had stood up abruptly from his chair causing it to bang loudly against the wall before he had thrown the bottle at you. The sudden outburst was triggered by your questioning of his whereabouts as he had failed to come home the night before. It had taken you all day to work up the nerve to face him. Even going as far as to wait until after dinner as he relaxed in front of the tv before confronting him. You had meekly stood by the wall and fidgeted until he cast a glance in your direction. When asked the question he flew into a blind rage cursing while throwing the nearest object available. Which so happened to be one of the many beer bottles strewn across the carpeted floor near his feet.

He quickly crossed the room pulling you up by your hair from your cowered position. He slammed you against the wall and leaned in close.

"I work all fucking day and this is my only time to myself!" he had yelled in your ear. He pushed you away and you crashed into the nearby end table landing awkwardly on your forearm. You yelped in pain as he slammed the front door behind him leaving abruptly as you lay there sobbing, curling into yourself as you clutched your arm.

The car behind you honked loudly startling you into drive. You hurriedly pulled off into traffic as you headed home towards the Forest Hills trailer park.

As you passed by the newly reconstructed Starcourt mall your thoughts turned back toward your estranged husband. The fight was the last you had seen of him. The word around town was that he had been holed up with Cindy Johnson at her home across town in the suburbs. You would've been lying if you said that you missed him. Honestly, you were grateful that he was gone. No longer were you walking on eggshells in your home. No longer did you have to worry about the long-term damage this was causing to your son. You tried to hide the bruises from him as best as you could but you knew that there was no way he didn't see them occasionally. You also went as far as to let him go to sleep listening to his walkman so he wouldn't have to hear the constant yelling or thumps against the wall.

You pulled into the uneven gravel of your driveway. Your brakes screeched in protest as you pushed the pedal to the floor for the truck to completely stop. That was another thing you'd begged your husband to fix before an accident occurred. He had waved you off dismissively while mumbling that "he would get to it in a bit." That was months ago and was added to the list of things you would have to take care of yourself.

You shut off the engine and laid your head on the tattered wheel. Hopefully, he would stay away this time allowing you and your son to heal and live a normal life without fear. He never raised a hand towards his son to which you were grateful. He saved all of his pent-up anger and frustration at life for you. You had become his punching bag over the years. It had started as a slap here and there, which was followed by broken promises never to do it again. Eventually, the promises and apologies faded, turning into guilt trips stating it was your fault he hit you in the first place.

Lifting your head you unbuckled your seat belt being careful of your arm wrapped securely in a cast. One of the many war wounds you've accumulated over the years. He wasn't always this way. There was a time when he was the man of your dreams. The charming senior football player who'd swept you off your feet. You were a freshman and couldn't believe the most popular guy in school had taken an interest in you. A shy little bookworm who spent most days at home submerged in whatever romance novel you were reading at the time. Eventually, you'd gotten pregnant at the tender age of 17. Your parents had given you an ultimatum. Either you get an abortion or get out of their house. You'd chosen the latter moving in with your boyfriend who swore that he loved you and would take care of you including your unborn child.

That seemed like forever ago. Eight years had passed and you were a shell of who you used to be. Any dreams you had died long ago along with the love you once held for your husband. Fear had taken the place of any emotion left for him. The only thing you lived, for now, was your son, pouring all of your love into him. You made sure that he knew you loved him at all times. Any family activities or holidays were usually spent alone together. On occasion, his father would tag along only to hang around in the background while nursing a beer.

Hopping down from your truck you slammed the rusted door shut with a squeak. You shook your head trying to dispel the unwanted thoughts of him from your head. You swore that this time was different. If and when he decided to come crawling back you were determined not to let him in. It was time to put you and your son first. You'd reunited with your parents who promised to help in any way they could. You had never asked for help and after years of radio silence on both ends, you swallowed your pride and drove to your parent's asking for help. They immediately accepted and after hours of crying and hugging you guys were on your way to repairing your relationship. They also welcomed their grandchild with instant love and regret for the time that had been wasted.

You waved to your neighbor Mrs. Brenda as you walked to your trailer. She grinned and waved back enthusiastically as she rocked in her chair. She was the neighborhood grandma of sorts often making extra home-cooked dishes or sewing clothes for whoever needed them. She never charged or wanted anything in return just a friendly conversation on occasion.

"Hello dearie, how are you doing this morning?" she said sweetly.

"I'm doing fine Mrs. Brenda, just gonna try and get some cleaning done before the little one gets out of school later," you replied.

"Well, I won't keep you then, just come over later kay? I have some leftovers for you and that sweet boy of yours," she stated.

You thanked her while unlocking the door and shutting it. Kicking off your shoes and placing them neatly by the door you made your way toward the bathroom. You dropped the keys on the end table you'd since repaired. There was a much-needed shower with your name on it before you started your tasks.

You sighed deeply as you reclined onto your couch. All cleaning had been done and you were now curled up on the couch with your favorite book. The sound of heavy metal and screeching tires coming to an abrupt stop shook you out of your reverie.

Jumping to your feet you ran to the window peeking out into your backyard. You watched as your metalhead neighbor hopped out of his van and ran to his front door. He stopped for a moment fumbling with his keys. "Dammit, son of a bitch!" he yelled stamping his foot on the ground.

Your heart hammered in your chest at his outburst but you were unable to turn away. Peering at him in amusement and a little fear as he ran his hand back through his hair in exasperation further mussing up the frizzy curls that adorned his head. He cast a glance in your direction causing you to hurriedly close the blinds slamming your back against the window.

"Okay calm down maybe he didn't see me." you thought silently. Forcing yourself to take slow breaths as you walked back to your couch. Before you could sit down there was a quick knock at your front door. Butterflies swarmed in your stomach as you crossed the room to answer the door. Peeping through the peephole you saw Eddie Munson standing on your doorstep.

"Hi!" he greeted nervously as you opened your door.

"Hi," you replied. Your hand was gripping the door in nerves. Embarrassed that he had caught you snooping. Surely he had come over to tell you off about it.

"Um, my name is Eddie...Eddie Munson. I live in the trailer right behind yours." he explained.

"I know— we went to high school together briefly. I was a senior when you were a freshman." You felt your cheeks heat up at the overshare you just stated.

He looked at you for a moment before recognition lit up his eyes. "Holy shit" he exclaimed. "How could I forget," he murmured. "You were one of the sweetest girls I ever met at Hawkins High," he said enthusiastically. "You were like the only person who was nice to me and didn't treat me like some sorta freak. I missed you when you graduated," he said sadly clutching at his heart dramatically.

"No w-wories it's been a while since we've spoken to each other so I didn't expect you to remember me." you stammered. You gazed at him finally noticing the spaghetti sauce stains all over his hellfire t-shirt.

You cleared your throat, tearing your eyes away from his shirt. "Um, was there anything that you needed?" you inquired. Glancing down at his shirt again and flicking your eyes to the bits of food stuck in his hair.

"Oh yeah, right— about that." he laughed nervously scratching the back of his head. "Some asshole jocks thought it'd be funny or whatever to dump food on my head at lunch. I left early to go home only to find out that my house key is missing." he rambled holding up a set of keys as proof.

"I was wondering if I could maybe use your bathroom, please? Feel free to say no but I really need your help. My uncle Wanye is working a double and won't be back until later this afternoon" he begged sweetly.

Your eyes widened at his rushed request. You felt uneasy at the thought of letting a boy– no a man into your home. It was no secret that Eddie was twenty-one even though he had yet to graduate. He was four years younger than you but still towered over your small frame. He could easily overpower you if he wanted.

You chewed your lip silently and gazed into his dark brown eyes. They held no malice or mischief only pleading with you silently for help.

Smiling you opened up your door wider and stepped off to the side. "Of course, it's no problem at all, come on in," you responded shutting the door as he walked into your home.

You stood beside him and marveled at the amount of space he took up. Even though he was pretty tall it had less to do with his height and rather that his presence just commanded the attention of anyone close by.

"Thank you so much," he said as he stood awkwardly in your living room. Glancing around the room he asked, "Um where is the bathroom?"

"Right— sorry!" you squeaked. "Down the hall first door on the left. There are also some towels in the cabinet" you instructed. "Do you need a change of clothes?" you inquired.

Nodding his head vigorously he replied, "Yeah, a shirt would be awesome if it's not too much trouble."

"Of course not. I'm pretty sure I have some clothes that are too big for me around here somewhere," you replied smiling.

He gave you a toothy smile in return and turned around heading towards the bathroom.

You watched him walk down the hallway letting himself into the bathroom. You let out a nervous laugh as you inhaled deeply. Forcing yourself to calm the rising of your nerves.

You felt as if you were going to have an anxiety attack. There was a naked man in your home, one who you had not seen in years, currently in your bathroom. No big deal right?

After a few minutes of deep breathing, you managed to calm yourself somewhat. As you entered your bedroom you walked over to your dresser. Digging through items of clothing, you searched for a shirt that could fit Eddie's tall frame. He was neither stocky nor lanky, seeming to fall in the middle of both.

Your cheeks heated up at the thought of his body. You shook your head, dispelling the unwarranted thoughts. The thought of getting involved with anyone left an uneasy feeling in your stomach. You were still trying to break free from your soon-to-be ex-husband. You had no time for another relationship.

A black shirt with red writing caught your eye pulling you from your thoughts. Pulling the shirt from the drawer you realized it was an old Guns N Roses band tee you had worn while you were pregnant with your son. There was a white cross in the middle with five skeletons on each point.

"This will have to do," you thought folding the shirt again and tucking it into your side. You heard the shower still running as walked back into the living room. Flopping down on the couch you picked up your forgotten book. "Might as well do some light reading to pass the time," you mumbled while flipping to the dog-eared page.

After a few minutes, you were totally engrossed again, losing yourself within the fantasy story. The clicking of the bathroom door alerted you to Eddie's presence. You jumped up tripping over your feet and grabbed the shirt laid carefully by your side.

As you peeked around the corner you noticed Eddie's head sticking out of the opening of the door. His wet curls looked less frizzy and more defined than earlier. His bangs hung low on his face nearly obscuring his eyes. It seemed it was time for a trim. Your gaze lowered looking over his full lips and the expanse of his neck that was in view. You noticed drops of water running down his neck into the column of his collarbone.

Eddie cleared his throat with a hint of amusement in his eyes. "Hey! Were you able to find a shirt?" he asked you with a tilted smile.

"Oh y-yes of course," you sputtered, embarrassed that you had gotten caught ogling the poor man. Here you were worrying about your virtue when it was him who should be worried! You quickly crossed the small space in between to hand him the shirt. His fingers grazed yours sending a shiver up your arm from his touch. You stepped back quickly smiling in the process.

"Thank you so much," he said sincerely as he ducked his head back into the bathroom and closed the door.

You stood there for a moment staring into space. What was wrong with you? Why did you just stand there and stare like some sort of ditz? You didn't quite know what to make of your strange behavior. Lucky for you Eddie came out of the bathroom at that moment, clearing all thoughts from your mind.

Walking towards you he stopped in the middle of the room and glanced around awkwardly. "Um, I just wanted to say how much I appreciate you helping me" he blushed staring down at the floor.

"Don't worry about it, no biggie" you smiled waving your hands in front of you. "So...um you said your uncle comes home in the afternoon right? you wondered aloud.

"Right...I was just gonna go sit on the porch until he got home. I would ride around town but I'm kinda low on gas right now." he rushed scratching at the back of his head.

You sighed as you weighed your options. On one hand, you'd rather be alone, you didn't want to embarrass yourself anymore than you already had but on the other hand, you didn't like the thought of him sitting in that heat for hours.

You cleared your throat "I can't let you do that it’s like the training grounds for down below out there" you joked nervously.

His eyes opened wide a moment before he tossed his head back laughing deeply.

You laugh along with him feeling the ice break, easing the tension.

"I wasn't gonna say anything but I agree it's like walking through soup out there" he snickers.

"Well since we both agree that it's hot", you giggle, "how about we find something to pass the time", you suggest. "I have some movies that I just rented from Family Video", you walk over to your tv stand squatting down, and pull out a couple of Vhs tapes.

"I have Ferris Bueller's Day Off, Star Wars - Return of the Jedi, Nightmare on Elm Street, and Fast Times at Ridgemont High," you say while holding up the stack of tapes.

He pretends to think for a moment "As much as I want to pick Nightmare on Elm Street, I think ill go with the first choice" he says smiling.

He sits down on the couch and reclines, the shirt that you gave him riding up showing a light trail of hair leading to his pants. You quickly avert your eyes pretending to study the tapes.

"Maybe I can take a rain check," he says hopefully. Making your eyes snap back to him. Your heart picks up a bit for some reason unbeknownst to you.

"Sure, I'd like that," you grin as you pop the tape in. Strolling over to the couch you take a seat on the opposite end from Eddie. You settle in as the opening credits for the movie started, glancing over at him whose attention was on the tv. Your mind began to wonder, trying to find a reason as to why you so readily accepted his offer to get together again.

You tucked your feet under you getting comfortable as you attempted to focus on the movie. There was no reason to overanalyze anything. It's not like it would be a date or lead to anything, you would keep it strictly platonic right?

Time flew by quickly, you ended up watching Star Wars - Return of the Jedi. Eddies commentary made it way more enjoyable than it would've been without him.

As the ending credits rolled you both looked at each other and smiled. Although the day began weird and sort of awkward, it ended as a pleasant surprise.

"Wow, who knew that you liked Star Wars," Eddie smiled. "You struck me more as a Pretty in Pink type," he teased.

"Well, I guess there is a lot about me that you don't know" you smirked. "I would've pegged you more as blood and gore type only" you joked.

Eddie gasped and laid a hand on his heart. "Why I never," he said dramatically. "You know just because I like heavy metal and have a killer fashion sense doesn't mean I only like that genre!" he scoffed.

Your heart plummeted and you quickly began to apologize. "Oh no— Eddie, I d-didn't m-mean to," you stammered.

Eddie looked at you and laughed. "I'm sorry sweetheart, it was too easy" he wheezed holding his sides.

You threw a small pillow at him and pouted crossing your arms. You turned your head trying to hide the smile on your face.

The slamming of a car door caught both of your attention. You got up and glimpsed out of your window, seeing that Wayne had made it home and was making his way inside.

Looking over at Eddie on the couch who had turned around to face you. "Your uncle just showed up," you explained. You glanced at the clock noting the time. You had about half an hour before you needed to go pick up your son.

He nodded and stood up stretching his arms towards the ceiling. You quickly looked away, wanting to avoid getting caught staring again.

"I have to go and pick up my son from school soon," you said. "I had a great time," you added, mentally slapping yourself for making it sound like a date.

"Me too", he replied walking over to the door and opening it. He stopped and turned around to look at you. " I just want to say again thank you for helping me, you didn't have to but you did anyway and I'm forever in your debt m'lady," he bowed.

Your cheeks and neck flushed embarrassed. You lowered your gaze and smiled, peering up at him through your lashes. "No problem, I had a good time" you beamed.

"Until we meet again," he replied smiling before stepping down your front steps and closing your door.

You lock the door behind him and smile to yourself leaning against the door. That was the most fun you'd had with someone who was an adult in a long time. Conversation came easily with Eddie once the ice had been broken, you found yourself joking around like old friends. The lulls of silence were comfortable, not awkward at all.

A genuine friend is something you could really use at this time with everything you were going through and it seemed as if you could find that in Eddie. You glanced at the clock again noticing that you needed to leave now if you wanted to avoid the hectic school traffic when you picked up your son.

Grabbing your keys you quickly turn off the lights and slip your shoes on, hurrying out the door and closing it behind you.

You walked down the steps of the courthouse with your mom and son in tow. You had officially filed your petition for a divorce from your husband. Your legal reason was for physical and emotional abuse. The lawyer your mother and father helped you obtain assured you that with the numerous police reports, hospital records, and the no contact order you'd obtained, you would have no problem with the proceedings.

You, however, weren't so sure of that, you have a nagging feeling that your husband wouldn't roll over easy. Anything you ever wanted or enjoyed he had taken away from you and destroyed it. The only thing you had left was your son. You squeezed his hand for reassurance, he smiled up at you showing his missing front tooth. The lawyer had also put in the motion for you to file for sole custody.

You knew in your heart that no good would come out of your son having any contact with his dad. Hell, he barely even knew him at all and he had lived with him most of his life. The only thing he knew about him was to stay out of his way and to only speak to him in passing or in response. Your heart aches for your son at the relationship that could've been with his father.

Inhaling a deep breath and then slowly exhaling, you release all negative energy and thoughts. "Hey guys, how about we go to Scoops Ahoy for some ice cream huh?" you said excitedly trying to uplift the solemn mood.

"That sounds great dear," your mother replied touching your shoulder.

You turn to your son "Does that sound okay to you honey?" you smile.

He jumped up and down happily "Can we have pizza too, pretty please? he begged, clasping his hands together under his chin.

You pretended to think about it " Hmm, I guess that's okay as long as you make sure to brush your teeth really good before you go to bed." you grinned.

He hugged you as he began to pull you and your mother along faster to the car. "C'mon, I can't wait to try their new flavors," he yelled excitedly.

You sighed happily as you stepped out of your shower. With all of the stress and anxiety from earlier at the courthouse washed away, you felt at ease. Your son was finally tucked in after the pizza and ice cream he inhaled. After your mother had dropped you off, your son asked if you would play Battleship with him. Even though you were tired you didn't have it in you to deny him once he gave you his puppy dog eyes.

So after a few rounds, he had taken a bath and brushed his teeth. You gave him his headphones making sure that they were not too loud before kissing him goodnight and tucking him in.

You dried your body off and rubbed in your favorite lotion the best you could with your good arm. You couldn't wait until your appointment with your doctor so you could have it removed. At this point, it was more of a hindrance than anything.

Tying the belt around your fluffy pink robe, you made your way to your room. A knock at your front door stopped you in your tracks. Furrowing your brow, you made your way to the door wondering who it could be at this time of the night.

You stood on your tip toes to look out the peephole. Seeing Eddie on the other side rocking nervously back and forth. You glanced down at the unflattering robe you had on and groaned. "I look like a grandma in this thing." "Oh well," you thought as you hurriedly opened the door.

Eddie paused when you opened the door his face falling into a smile at the sight of you. His eyes roamed over your body quickly before settling back on your face. "Hey," he said sheepishly.

"Hi," you replied as you stepped out onto the porch.

"I hope I didn't wake you, I saw that your light was on and I couldn't stop myself," he rambled nervously.

"No, you didn't actually," you quickly replied. You didn't want him to think he was disturbing you and leave.

"How have you been?" he asked tilting his head to the side causing some curls to dangle over his eyes.

You tore your eyes away to look into his brown eyes before replying. "It's been hectic around here lately" you answered honestly. "I didn't mean to blow you off," you said apologetically.

"It's okay, you don't have to apologize," he assured you. "I figured I should just come over and check on you, see how you were doing," he stated.

You leaned against the frame of your door crossing your arms. "It's kinda late for that don't you think," you teased.

He blushed prettily as he rubbed a hand across the back of his neck. "Yeah, I guess your right about that," he laughed sheepishly. "What I wanted to know was if you were busy this Saturday, maybe I could come over for a movie night?" he wondered hopefully.

You mentally checked your calendar, you had nothing planned and you were sure you could get your parents to watch your son for you. "Sure," you said after some thought. "Feel free to bring some more movies if you like so we can have more to choose from," you said.

He grinned and pumped his fist in the air. "How is eight o clock for you," he asked excitedly.

"That sounds perfect," you replied gigging at his outburst. "I'll see you then," you said backing up into your home.

"See you later neighbor," he laughed. He turned around and walked towards the worn path to his trailer behind yours.

You closed the door locked it and walked towards your bedroom. Sitting down you thought about Eddie, you were glad he took the initiative to come over. It had been two months since you last saw him. Your conflicting schedules had made it hard for your paths to cross.

You were either at work or your taking your son to basketball practice. Also with your impending divorce, your free time had become even more scarce. Your eyes fluttered as sleep threatened to overtake you.

You took off your robe and placed it at the foot of your bed, too tired to hang it up. Slipping under your covers you fell into a deep sleep.

long-winded rambling about The Politician that intersects with me talking sappily about my partner: a random, very neurodivergent and gay post

It's no surprise that The Politician means a lot to me.

I mean, "the politician netflix" is one of my most used tags, and my The Politician t-shirt is stretched out and well-loved because it's my favorite shirt (I have a long-sleeved version for the cold months that I wear sparingly because I want it to last longer that the short-sleeved version).

In the depths of my tumblr (or maybe not, I think I might've deleted the post for one reason or another), there's a post I made in 2021 or 2022, where I made the simple statement: "I want a girlfriend but like River Barkley / Yeah / Girl River." What I meant by this, in my own neurodivergent, connecting-my-special-interests-to-my-real-life-to-make-sense-of-how-I-feel-about-things/emotions way, is that I wanted a partner who could see me, who thought deeply, who had a big heart.

And, low and behold, I got what I wanted! (Thank you, Universe)

Besides talking about my fandoms, I talk about my partner a lot.

I talk about her a lot, because you have to imagine what it's like to not be understood for a long time and then someone comes along and pretty much say, "I like you, I want to understand you, or at least try." Does my partner "get it right" every time? No. Do they always know what to say? Also no, but who does? Not many people have all the answers but my partner at least tries. The trying is what means the most to me, trying to understand the deep, twisty layers of why I am the way I am.

I like to help people and do good things, but I push people away and give a million, "I'm okay / I'll be okay / It's just how things are, don't worry"'s, and that is quite the complex contradiction.

Why do you think I like the character of Payton so much? He's the same way. That's his big problem that affects his story.

Which is what makes his story with River so interesting.

He is faced with exactly what he pushes away: being seen, someone cutting through (or breaking down, whatever visual you'd like to use) his big walls and wanting to help him.

Now, I know that by the end of their relationship, things are a little more than rocky. Pretty cut-throat on Payton's part. But I'm focusing on the non-political aspects of their time together which is the heart of their dynamic; things get rocky when they have to go up against each other.

River is gentle in his nature and patient, which are the very important aspects when helping those walls come down with time. (Or within literally five minutes, in Payton's specific case. Poor guy really needed someone to ask him if he's okay.)

When I think of my own relationship, I think of the patience that I am given; "I'm here / You can talk to me about anything." Never pushy, never "You have to tell me what's wrong." but an offer that's there for when I need it. I can go to my partner when I'm unwell or upset or frustrated and I know I'll be listened to.

You want to know the beautiful thing?

It works the same way when flipped around.

When my partner is in a hard time, they can come to me and I try my best to listen and to offer my support, or advice when it is wanted. (I have a knee-jerk reaction to help, though I'm learning that people need to be listened to or sometimes, just need to feel their feelings. My partner is additionally patient with me as I'm learning this fact of life.)

My partner and I are similar in the way that we don't really know how to feel when someone tries to see us. Despite that, we both push through each other's walls and show patience and give the offer of a person to talk to.

We know that there will be times where one of us needs more support than the other, knowing that it fluctuates, or knowing that there will be times where we need support at the same time, and we go about it with patience and understanding, the best we can. We always try.

For a long time, I've loved the interesting dynamic between Payton and River (and wished that Ryan Murphy and Co. would give the people what they want and give us more of it—).

Their story and characters have taken on a new meaning since being loved like I am by my partner.

The show’s theme song, “Chicago” by Sufjan Stevens, is my ringtone for them: “I fell in love again, all things go, all things go.”

“Heir to My Heart” from the score of The Politician often plays in the back of my head when I talk to her, or just quietly sit on call with her.

To be loved is to be seen. To be seen and loved by her is the best thing I could have ever hoped for.

Also, shoutout to this tweet screenshot that I sent her as a means of flirting a few days before I asked her to be my girlfriend. Did she understand it? Of course not! She's not a nerd! (That's a joke, they are a huge nerd, just not for obscure Netflix shows that only about ten total people care about. Ask them about the current book they're reading and you will see a nerd! Which is beautiful to behold. I love seeing them nerd out and get excited about things! <3):

#wlw #nblw #lesbian #the politician #the politician netflix #hobarkley #payton and river #random post #I love my partner a lot and am so grateful for them #so this is my way to express that #in a sort of random out of the blue way #because if there's one thing I'm good at #it's making random sappy posts for the hell of it <3

The Forgotten - Chapter 6 'In Which A Festival Is Held And A Connection Is Established'

The BeanBean Kingdom has lived peacefully for centuries, due to the wild ocean and towering mountains that surround them. No one being able to get in or out. Which makes it strange when a stranger enters the kingdom, but not in an expected way.

Close to death and with little memories about his previous life, Peasley has to uncover where this 'L' came from. As well as who would want to hurt this confused human.

Fandom: Super Mario & Related Fandoms Rating: Teen and Up Audiences Relationships: Luigi & Mario (Nintendo), Luigi/Prince Peasley Warnings/Additional Tags: Luigi don't remember who he is, AU to Super Star Saga, There will be mentions of torture, PTSD, Bowser's gonna be intense in this, At least far more than in comparison to the games, Mario's a worried older brother, It's a dangerous game of cat and mouse

Beyond the fact that he was unable to remember much about anything, L felt like life was out to get him. He was really trying to keep his head held high. Dr. Pinto said he was recovering well, with L getting a clean bill of health at the end of each day. L felt safe, comfortable, was well fed and had a place to sleep.

That, however, didn’t stop things being dangled just out of reach of him. Of letting L just find some small piece of relief from the unknown that haunted him.

First issue was when he tried to sleep. ‘Tried’ being the keyword there. Because L’s dreams were either heavy nightmares or taunts of the possible life he’d had once upon a time. The nightmares were filled with fire and feelings of phantom pains. A deep voice giving words of slow death and tortured filled days. L waking up with his brow damp with sweat, the nightmares diving back into his forgotten mind.

But his dreams, where it was mostly calm, caused L to wake feeling empty. Offering what he assumed were memories of his past life. Soothing and filled with simple bright places. Starting out as large empty areas, such as fields filled with orange and yellow flowers that held black eyes that swayed in the breeze. To another of a small room filled with comfortable chairs, one red, the other green, resting in a simple living room.

It becomes further interesting when someone new suddenly appears.

One dream found himself situated in a large room, far larger than the living room L had seen before. Tall walls painted white with pink accents. Golden ornate furniture filled the massive area. A tea set was displayed before a tall window, nothing seen beyond the glass but a white void. L was standing by said tea set. A large green mug already filled with liquid was resting comfortably in his hands.

“Princess P̳̲͕̹̰̙̏̀e̖ͫa͓̯̗̥̰̻͌̿͋͑̒ͪ̚ͅć̼̟͙̥̘̫ẖ̥̈́̉̉ͬ͡ really went all out huh?”

L jumped to the new voice. Stumbling as he tried to keep the tea in the green mug from his sudden movement. The same voice gave a gentle laugh, L turning away from the window he’d just been facing. Another human materialized from the white nothingness in the room.

Slightly shorter than L, wearing deep blue overalls with a red, long sleeves shirt underneath it. A red cap with an embroidered ‘M’ resting on swooping brown hair. L squinted as he attempted to get any facial details. But the person’s face was completely blank. However, with the details he could see, something tugged at the back of L’s memories.

“M-Mario, don’t do that.” L heard his voice, but he didn’t feel his mouth move.

“Sorry, sorry, I didn’t mean to scare you.” ‘Mario’ raised his hands, “How’s the tea? P̳̲͕̹̰̙̏̀e̖ͫa͓̯̗̥̰̻͌̿͋͑̒ͪ̚ͅć̼̟͙̥̘̫ẖ̥̈́̉̉ͬ͡ said she got your favorite.”

“It’s good. Pretty sure the other container has coffee.”

“Excellent!” ‘Mario’ rubbed his hands together as he eagerly approached the table. He poured himself a cup, practically burying it with cream and sugar before taking a sip. “Perfect cup.”

“Do you actually have coffee in there?”

“Oh hush, L̙̱̓̅̾ͧͭ̓̕u̦̪̭̱̻̺̣̓̓̐i͖͍͖͊ͥ͛̌̽͆͝g̙̫̦͖͘ȋͯ͂.”

“And I thought I liked sweet things.” L heard himself laugh as the other playfully pushed him.

“Whatever… So, how are you feeling after our last adventure?”

“I’ll be honest… I’m a little shaken.”

“Why? You did a great job!”

“I felt like I was in your way more than anything.” L felt an arm easily drape over his shoulders. While he couldn’t see ‘Mario’s’ face, he could tell the other was giving an assured smile.

“You were wonderful, I’m really proud of you…”

L woke with tears staining his cheeks. Peasley more than a little concerned when he visited that morning.

If the unrestful sleep wasn’t enough, the human was still having difficulty controlling his newly discovered ability. Whatever L had been able to do before was apparently a fluke. Unable to reproduce the same thing as before. More often than not, L would end up shocking himself. Which would also cause any extra energy to be discharged wildly. Peasley did his best to train L. L, however, was more frustrated by the process at the end of each day.

Having the random thought that maybe the abilities didn’t work because they didn’t recognize him. Which was weird to think that’s possible. But L didn’t know how else to describe it.

Physical and mental ailment accounted for, emotional was the last on his list to worry about. L knew he held feelings for Peasley. It was something he’d come to terms with a while ago. Also conceding there was never going to be that connection between them. Peasley was a prince. A member of the royal family who was directly in line for the throne. L was some random stranger who had no memories, weird uncontrollable powers, and a large target on his back.

L tried to turn his feelings into more of admiration. That he was just latching on to a heavy emotion for comfort. Just to have something ‘normal’ to cling to in a sea of uncertainty. If anything, L told himself that he would pine for a while and move on. Because what else could he possibly hope for? That Peasley actually saw him as anyone other than a guest? L was hopefully stupid, not stupid…

Until that afternoon in the gardens.

L had felt his heart thudding heavily as he had been presented with the garden lunch. One that was unprompted. Meaning Peasley went out of his way to create this specifically for L.

He’s just being a good host. You’re a guest. Stop this.

Then Peasley showed off his ability. Adorning L with a crown of beautiful roses.

It’s a gift. He’s being nice. Stop doing this!

It was as Peasley was talking about his father that L felt a wave of bravery hit him. A want to make the prince happy, to not see him look so upset. Allowing instincts to take over, L had moved closer. Reaching out to gently take Peasley’s hands in his own and offered a few words of encouragement. The comforting moment turned to something a bit more when their eyes connected. L suddenly realized how close he’d gotten.

But Peasley didn’t pull away as L assumed he would.

Instead, the prince’s hands moved to now grip onto L’s gently. A silent plea to not move. L watching as Peasley’s eyes flickered between his eyes and lips. It was almost dangerous for L to hope. Eyes following as Peasley moved closer. Unable to do the same, thinking the illusion would be shattered if he did. Thankfully, Peasley didn’t seem deterred by this. Only giving pause to double check that all was still going to be accepted.

Only for L to ruin it.

The powers he barely had control over gave Peasley a nasty shock. L’s elation turned to modification. Instinctually pulling his cap over his eyes while his hands held a death grip on it. All of Peasley’s reassurances fell on deaf ears as his internal voice was loudly berating him. Even after Peasley had calmed him down, L still felt as if whatever bond they’d started to make was completely gone.

And with no one that L felt comfortable enough to voice his concerns to, it all left him to stew in self-doubt.

Something Peasley noticed immediately.

“Alright you alright?”

L’s head shot up from where he’d been staring a hole into his bed sheets. Flushing softly at Peasley’s attention. “Y-Yeah, why?”

“You’ve just been quiet.”

“But, y-you’ve been reading. I didn’t want to interrupt.”

Peasley blinked before looking at the book in hand. “True, however, you normally give some verbal indication you’ve been listening.”

“I, uh, I have a lot on my mind at the moment.”

“Anything you want to talk about?”

No, no, no, no, no, no, NO!

“I-I mean, I’ve just, you know…” L laughed weakly. Biting his lip when that flawless explanation somehow didn’t comfort Peasley. “My dreams…have been getting to me. I keep seeing that same creature, I keep getting flashes of what happened. I’ve also had a lot of those calm places…and of Mario.”

“You’ve seen him?”

“No, I mean, not really? I can’t see his face and can only hear half of what he says…” L slumped further back into his pillow, “Sorry, it’s not much use.”

“No, you’re doing fine, you’re doing your best. That’s all we can ask for.”

“I just wish it was more.”

Peasley took a small pause, eventually placing the book aside and gently took L’s hands. “How about we get you out of the castle for a while?”

“Like…back to the gardens?”

“More like the town proper,” Peasley gave L’s hands a gentle squeeze before continuing, “There’s a festival coming up. It happens twice a year to kick off our two major farming seasons. I was hoping to take you out? If you’re feeling up for it.”

L’s heart jumped at the ‘take you out’. Trying to quickly stomp down the excitement as his cheeks turned red. “And you’ll…be there?”

“The entire time, by your side, your tour guide and chauffeur.”

He really shouldn’t read too far into it. Peasley was just trying to feel better. But L couldn’t help but feel thrilled by this ask. Offering a wide smile and nodding. “Yeah, yes, I’d like that.”

Peasley perked up, beaming as well. “Great, fantastic! It’s tomorrow, we’ll head out in the morning. You’ll have a great time, promise!”

“I-I can’t wait.”

Both sat in eager silence, smiling like idiots to each other, only breaking away when Dr. Pinto arrived. Announcing L needed a check up as a nurse also drew closer. Peasley took the opportunity to run with his face a deep shade of blue.

“Smooth,” Dr. Pinto muttered as the prince passed by.

“Oh, shut up.” Peasley whispered back, but couldn’t hide his smile.

The next morning, L woke early. Unable to close his eyes again and had to lie and wait for the sun to enter the room. A nurse eventually arrives to help the human change for the day. L feeling strangely at home in deep blue overalls and a long sleeved green shirt.

Like ‘Mario’s’ outfit…just a different color.

Peasley arrived soon after L had settled down into his wheelchair. The human flushing darkly seeing the prince dressed in a very casual outfit. Looking more of a farmer than a prince. With a farewell from Queen Bean and Lady Lima, the two departed to explore on their own.

It was strange to be in the town,as well as nerve wracking, being so close to so many strangers. L tensing slightly when numerous eyes landed on him as the duo drew closer. Only to relax when Peasley placed an arm on L’s shoulder and greeted the citizens. Who all returned with their own smile.

The first stop was determined by hunger, going by a large stall that had steam and delicious smells wafting from it. The cooks inside greeted Peasley, passing off two slices of fully packed quiches to the duo. Allowing both to eat while they continued on. L was then shown the numerous flora and fauna the kingdom had to offer. From tall flowers that smiled down as L (which kicked some kind of warning in his mind to avoid for some reason) to small, bi-pedal beanish creatures that ran circles around their enclosure they were in.

Curiosity soon overpowered nerves and L began to ask questions. How did something grow, what was the creature’s name, would that flower count as flora or fauna given the mouth and how it ate? The citizens were more than happy to answer. Seeming thrilled to explain their trade to someone completely new to the scene. The children would even pop in from time to time to explain their role in the management of the farm. Peasley noticed how well L was with children.

There was never a time where L’s hands were empty. Always filled with either a plate of food or a glass of interestingly colored drinks. Peasley seemed to be acutely aware of when L needed a break from the crowds when the day started to come to an end. Pushing the wheelchair along some of the narrower paths that allowed them a more aerial view over the festival. The sun was beginning to set, but that clearly didn’t indicate a time for the events to stop.

“So,” Peasley started, “thoughts?”

“It’s amazing! There’s so much to see or do here. Your kingdom is amazing.” L commented, missing the flush on Peasley’s cheeks. The wheelchair was soon parked on the grassy hill. L relaxing as a soft breezed past, Peasley sitting himself on the nearby bench.

As the sun continued to sink, the surrounding area started to fill with other citizens. Parents spread out blankets while children rushed around, couples claiming spots under trees. Venders were soon walking around, carrying large trays of food, drinks, and even a few carried mini sparklers and similar items. L a little nervous when he’d been handed a sparkler, Pleasley holding his and giving thanks to the vendor. The sparklers were lit and L’s concern turned to amazement as the item burned brightly.

There had been another hit of familiarity, one that was surprisingly comforting given what L was holding. Of someone holding fire in their hands… But the feeling lasted as long as the sparkler did. Both fizzling out to smoke.

As the sun finally disappeared behind the horizon, the hill was filled with numerous citizens with the sky becoming dark. L feeling thankful that Peasley was there. Their clasped hands gave a comforting feeling against the nerves of being in a large crowd.

Confusion grew as L watched the vendors turn off the lights to their stands. The area becoming increasingly dark.

“I-Is it over?” L whispered.

“Not quite,” Peasley replied softly, “One more event to truly close it out.”

L only had a few to ponder what they were waiting for when the sky was suddenly illuminated a brilliant red. The human jumping and clinging to Peasley’s arm as the thunderous ‘BOOM’ accompanied it. Fear turned to fascination as another went off, a vivid blue, followed by a bright green. The sky was soon filled with numerous fireworks, the crowd below giving noises of joy and amazement.

Even with knowing there was no danger, L still kept a grip on Peasley’s arm. Eventually becoming comfortable enough to lean his head on the prince’s shoulder.

“This is amazing,” L said, “Thank you so much for-”

L didn’t fight back as a finger was tucked under his chin, tilting his head up. Shocked when soft lips covered his but didn’t pull away. A hand reaching up to cup Peasley’s cheek, with the other gripping onto the prince’s arm. The hand tucked beneath L’s chin moved to the back of his neck while the other was placed on his shoulder.

They pulled away after a few seconds. L’s eyes wide and shining, taking a deep breath to calm his pounding heart. Peasley’s cheeks were a dark blue. Eyes wide as if surprised he would try something so bold. They weren’t sure who broke the silence, but both were soon laughing softly. Peasley claimed another kiss, which L didn’t argue against, before pressing their foreheads together.

Their beating hearts drowning out the fireworks.

_____________________________

The knight allowed themselves a moment of pause as they stood before the towering city. It was vastly different from the place he called home. The mountain was replaced with towering walls of white painted bricks that hide the inner kingdom from the rest of the world. From what could be seen peeking out from the wide entrance were tall structures with equipment that the knight had never seen before.

Taking a deep breath to steady their nerves, the knight approached the entrance. Pulling the attention of two creatures who were stationed outside. One holding blue spots on their domed cap with the other having red instead. Both of whom gripped their spears tighter as the knight drew closer.

“I come as a traveler from the BeanBean Kingdom,” the knight stated, raising a hand as a sign of peace. The kingdom’s name causes a look of confusion to be shared between the other two.

“What…business do you have here?” One guard asked.

“I came with a message for your ruler in relation to current events in our kingdom.”

There was another exchange of worried looks before the guard with the red spots stepped forward. “Please follow me.”

The knight did as asked. Making sure to keep up as his eyes traveled around the surrounding structures. While the BeanBean Kingdom was built around farming, the Mushroom Kingdom was definitely built around technology. There were moving, free floating platforms that moved from level to level and across wide gaps. Pipes that seemed to be the main form of long distance transportation that easily sucked civilians up and away. Having them go who knows where. There were tools and gadgets being used that the knight had never seen or would have thought about creating before.

The castle was also different from what the knight was used to seeing. Queen Bean’s home was pure white with red trim and accents. Lined with foliage grown wildly by the royal family. This castle was mainly pink with the white adding accents and decorations. With more trimmed topiaries than free growing plants. The large double doors opened to a grand throne room that was filled with numerous, different spot colored citizens. All eyes turned to the newly arrived duo. The knight kept their eyes forward as they approached the throne.

But was also painfully aware of how the thunderous noise of conversations quickly died down.

Sitting upon the grand throne was another human, female, with blond hair that fell to her waist. Blue eyes falling to the knight with a look of curiosity, but also carried exhaustion. Deep shadows resting under her eyes. Her posture was tense as the knight approached. Another citizen, one holding brown spots, carrying a cane with a small pair of spectacles resting on their face, stood by the ruler. Looking frazzled, on edge, and super suspicious of the newcomer.

Standing properly before the throne in a very quiet room, the knight placed their hand over their heart and bowed low. “I am a servant hailing from the BeanBean Kingdom. I arrive with a message from Queen Bean to the current ruler of the Mushroom Kingdom.”

“That would be I,” the human said calmly, “I am Princess Peach. What message do you have for me?”

The knight stood once more, eyes twitching over to the brown spotted citizen, who looked back with bewilderment. They pulled out the rolled parchment from their side bag, opened it, and began to read.

‘To the Current Ruler of the Mushroom Kingdom. I, the Queen Bean, ruler of the BeanBean Kingdom, have come to ask for your help in regards to recent events that have befallen my kingdom. An unexpected guest has arrived at the doorsteps of my castle, who’s more than lost at the current moment. Due to their possible origin, I ask for your help, as our visitor is human, a rare individual that we know not their home for.

While this would be our first proper interaction, I ask if you may know of this human. If you-

“Does he have a green hat?”

The knight stumbled to a stop hearing the desperate question. Looking up to see that Peach was now standing. Hands clasped before her and eyes shimmering with unshed tears. Looking hopeful, but also close to breaking. The knight was also aware that the silence had turned from heavy worry to tense eagerness.

“...Yes ma’am.”

“With an ‘L’ on it?”

“Yes ma’am.”

The heavy silence hanging over the room was broken when Peach gave a heavy sob and fell to her knees. The hall erupts with cheers and excited chatter. The knight remained still as they wished and waited for some explanation. They heard Peach frantically say ‘Please, go find Mario.’ to the nearby citizen, standing at better attention as she drew closer.

“Is he alright?” she asked as she wiped her eyes, “I-Is he okay?”

“...He is recovering well, but he unfortunately doesn’t remember anything about himself. We’ve been calling him ‘L’ as that’s all he really remembers.”

“His name is Luigi… We…we were so worried…” Peach took a deep breath to try and calm herself. Quickly dabbing at her eyes with a small cloth. The knight wanted to offer a break, believing she was attempting to keep her face as neutral as possible for her citizens. However, they fell quiet when the brown-spotted citizen returned. This time followed by another human.

This one was dressed in deep blue overalls and a long sleeve shirt. An eerily familiar cap was resting on a mess of tangled brown hair. This cap, however, was red with a ‘M’ embroidered over the lip of it. The knight worried that he too looked exhausted. More so that Peach.

“Peach…what’s going on?” He asked nervously. Tired eyes darting from the knight to Peach.

The princess in turn gave a watery smile before saying, “Someone found Luigi.”

The other human’s face turned from curiosity to hope. Eyes widening slightly. “R-Really?”

“Really, he’s in the BeanBean Kingdom.”

“W-Where is that?”

“I don’t know, but…” Peach gestured towards the knight. Who stood at better attention when eyes returned to them.

The human dressed in red stepped closer. “You have him?”

“L… Um, she’s correct. Luigi is currently at the BeanBean Kingdom. Being looked after by our best physician.”

“I’ve never heard of this kingdom.”

“That is because said kingdom had isolated itself away years ago.” The brown-spotted citizen spoke this time. Nodding and tapped his cane on the ground.

“Do you know of this place, Toadsworth?” Peach asked.

“Personally, no,” Toadsworth replied, “We have written accounts about said area. Coming from your ancestors from many years ago. So I was aware this place existed, but that was the extent of my knowledge.”

The red dressed human nodded in understanding before tensing as something seemed to mentally strike him. Turning back to the knight with wide fearful eyes. “Wait, you said physician… I-Is Luigi okay?”

“...He is recovering well. However, when he first recovered, he was… There was a chance that Luigi would not have made it if he wasn’t found when he had been.” The knight jumped back as the human’s hands were suddenly engulfed in fire.

Peach gasped softly, reaching forward to place a comforting hand on the other’s shoulder. “Mario, please, calm yourself. You hear the knight, he’s safe and recovering well. We know where Luigi is. We can go and get him.”

The knight frowned in thought upon hearing the name. Waiting for the hands to be extinguished before asking, “You’re Mario?”

“Yeah.”

“What’s your relation to Luigi?”

“He’s…He’s my twin, my brother. H-Has he talked about me?”

“I’m sorry to report that Luigi has amnesia, a severe case. Due to whatever happened to him. We’ve been calling him ‘L’ as that’s all he could remember for himself. He knows your name, but that’s all.”

“This explains so much… Have you or anyone in your kingdom seen anything else?”

“I’m…not sure what you mean.”

“A big guy with a spiked shell, claws, fangs, can breath fire, yellow eyes? A flying fortress? A blue robed creature with a wand? Anything like that?”

“We’ve had reports of strange looking creatures, no robes or wands. But nothing specific that you’ve just listed.”

Mario looked hopeful. “Then maybe we beat Bowser to the punch.”

“Bowser?”

“I-I’ll explain while we’re traveling back to your kingdom. Peach-” The red dressed human was cut off when a shoulder bag was thrusted into his hands. Already filled with food and some strange looking items with faces on them.

“Go,” Peach said, “I’ll follow behind with what resources we have. We can’t take the risk in thinking Bowser doesn't know where Luigi is.”

“Right…you’re right.” Without a second thought, Mario slung the back over his shoulder. “Alright, we’ll head out now.”

“And I’ll be right behind.”

With a nod, Mario turned to the knight and they left the castle as quickly as possible.

Unaware of the Paratrooper flying overhead. Scrambling to get to his radio out to report that the hero was on his way.

Doughnut

Just like a doughnut, I’ve wondered into a love loop

Pairing: Osamu Miya x reader

Tags: childhood friends to lovers, angst, fluff

Part 2 End

"I called you because I wanted to use my ticket. Can you please stay with me?" He asked you with red cheeks.

"Of course I will stay with you Samu but you still need rest" you said before laying him down and then joining him as you got under the covers with him. He hugged you close as you did the same. You were left confused by so many things and your racing heart but you ignored it all as you snuggled into the boys chest.

It was May when everything changed. After the last kiss in his room the usual things you did as a couple with Osamu made your heart race. From hand holding to just hanging out with one another. The sudden changes worried you but in the moment you ignored it. You and Osamu were in the living room of his house as you both watched a movie together. The sudden loud footsteps and the slam of the door upstairs scared you as you jumped in your seat next to the boy.

"I'm done! I can't do this anymore!" You heard Atsumu's voice yell out before hearing his footsteps get closer as he got downstairs.

"Tsumu" you let out shocked to see the boy with teary eyes. He didn't say anything as he looked at you both for a moment.

"I didn't know you two were home. Sorry for ruining your date" he said before leaving out of the front door.

"Wait a minute Tsumu!" You said as you stood up getting ready to chase after him.

"Don't go" Osamu said stopping you with his hand on your arm.

"But Tsumu's not okay. We can't leave him alone like this" you replied getting ready to go once again

"I want to use my ticket now. Please stay with me" he said with a look that made you give in.

"Okay" you said before taking a seat again next to him. Not too long after you saw Yuki come down as she wiped her tears away and walked out the door without saying a word. Osamu hugged you close as you returned it still worried over your friend.

"Don't worry they have to figure out their relationship" Osamu said a he soothed you. But you had a bunch of worries about your own relationship together.

The next day everyone found out that Atsumu and Yuki had officially broken up. You tried cheering up your friend with all of your other friends as you saw his tear stained eyes. He refused to speak about what exactly happened. The next few days passed by and he stayed the same. It was a week later when you were in school and currently looking for Osamu. You needed to talk to him about the feelings you started to feel, it was driving you crazy the past month. Rin told you where he last saw Osamu after school and he was right where he last saw him. Only he was currently speaking to Yuki. You quickly hid behind the wall to avoid being seen by the two. Deciding it was best to talk to him later you were about to leave when you heard her words.

"Samu I have feelings for you. I always have" Yuki said as you felt yourself go cold at her words. Quickly you walked away from the scene feeling heartbreak and anger at the same time. Did she play with Atsumu's feelings the whole time? And how could she admit her feelings for Osamu all of a sudden after dating Tsumu for months.

"Y/n where are you going? Aren't you staying for our practice?" Rin asked you as he noticed you enter and pick up your belongings.

"Sorry I can't I forgot I had a project to work on with Yuna. We need to hurry and complete it before it's due tonight" you lied

"Ok well goodluck finishing it" he responded before you said your goodbyes and left the gym and school quickly. You felt sick to your stomach. Laying in bed you thought about how twisted the whole situation was and your feelings. You remembered the reason as to why you and Osamu started everything and made your decision in the moment.

The next few days you avoided Osamu as you spent all your time with Kaito and Yuna. You even sat with them at lunch each day. There were whispers and rumors going around but you didn't care. Kaito and Yuna gave you worried looks but they never asked anything seeing you never touched the topic.

It was when you realized you left your notebook of math work with Suna that you found yourself walking into the boys volleyball practice one after noon. They all turned to stare at you and you saw him and his stare of questions and wonders. Ignoring him and your racing heart you made your way to Suna who talked with Aran and Akagi.

"Rin I need my math notebook. I forgot I lended it to you" you said

"Oh right I have it in my bag" he said as he started to make his way out of the gym and you followed. It didn't take too long for Suna to come out of the locker room with your notebook.

"Thanks Rin see you later" you said getting ready to go.

"How long are you planning to keep avoiding him?" Suna asked you

"For a while" you answered

"I don't think so. He's heading over here" Suna said suddenly making your heart race

"Good luck" he said before making his way back into the gym. You made a fast walk towards the exit of the building. It didn't take long before you felt his hand around your arm stopping you in your spot as he turned you back around.

"Why are you avoiding me?" Osamu asked as you met his hurt eyes.

"I'm not avoiding you. I have just been busy" you lied

"Stop lying. Everyone knows you're avoiding me" Osamu said

"Can you tell me what's wrong? So we can solve the issue together? It's like you're a stranger again and I don't like it" Osamu said worried as you frowned

"There's nothing to fix Samu" you said

"What do you mean? There's so much we need to fix between ourselves" Osamu replied as you felt your heart race at being close to the boy again.

"Let's end this officially" you blurted out

"What? Why do you want to suddenly end this?" Osamu asked you worried as he placed his hands on your shoulder.

"I want to break up. Isn't that more than a good enough explanation?" You asked him as you saw the confused look on his face.

"I have to go. Goodbye Samu" you said finally before leaving him stunned as you felt your heart shatter. You should have been a bit happy but you couldn't find in you. Instead you felt heartache. That was where you ended your relationship with the boy.

News spread quickly around the school about your break up with Osamu. Mixed reactions came out and you continued avoiding Osamu. Your lunches were spent with Kaito and Yuna away from your other friends. You should have never came up with the idea to fake date Osamu Miya. You lost one of your best friends again. Maybe if you stopped it earlier you would have been able to avoid the outcome. But you didn't regret the feelings you grew to have for the grey haired twin.

"Can we talk?" Atsumu asked you as he stood in front of your table at lunch surprising you and your friends.

"Sure Tsumu" you said before following him out of the cafeteria as everyone watched. It didn't take long before you two reached the school rooftop alone and away from everyone else.

"What did you want to talk about Tsumu?" You asked him worried

"I want to tell you the truth from the beginning" he answered confusing you

"Yuki asked me out in November last year. I accepted but not for the reason you think" he started to say

"I accepted her because I wanted to get over you." He admitted surprising you even more

"What do you mean you wanted to get over me?" You asked not believing what he was implying.

"I liked you ever since we were younger. Once you came back I was really happy but I also wanted to get rid of my feelings for you quickly" he explained

"So we ended up dating and everything seemed to be fine but then you and Samu started to date. That took me off guard. I tried ignoring it and the feelings I felt but seeing you two made me jealous." Atsumu said

"I realized I still liked you a lot but you were also with Samu and I couldn't keep those feelings. It wasn't right to you or Samu" he continued

"Seeing you and Osamu so happy made me realize that one day I would be able to experience it too and I thought I would be able to with Yuki"

"But I was wrong. Yuki told me the truth as to why she approached me. She told me how she just wanted to see if Osamu would get jealous of the relationship we had. She liked him all along and I fell like a fool in her game" Atsumu said with teary eyes as you quickly hugged the boy. You wanted to support him in a way even if this was all you could do. Your mind was racing with a million thoughts and feelings but you would be there for your best friend.

You pulled back from the boy as you looked him in the eyes with tears in your eyes

"Why are you crying?" He asked worried

"Tsumu there's something you should know about" you started saying confusing the boy

"Samu and I only went out together because we wanted to make you and Yuki jealous. We were fake dating all along" you admitted as the boys eyes widened

"What?" The boy let out unable to process what you said

"When we were dancing at that one party a few months ago. You said you thought I had feelings for you when we were younger. I wanted to tell you the truth and let you know that you were right and I had liked you all along but I couldn't because you were with Yuki" you continued before silence fell between you both.

"So you and Samu never actually went out?" Atsumu asked as you nodded your head

"What are your feelings now?" Atsumu asked as you went quiet for a moment

"I'm in love with Samu" you finally admitted aloud

"I knew you two had feelings for one another" Atsumu said as he took everything in

"Why did you break up with Samu then if you love him?" He asked confused

"Because the deal is over with. It was just a deal between us all along" you answered

"I think I need a minute to think about everything" Tsumu said as he took a seat against the wall on the floor.

"Me too" you said joining him as you sat next to him. The two of you took time to think before you spoke again.

"Tsumu I know I should have confessed my feelings to you now but why didn't you ever confess your feelings to me? You never were the one to keep your feelings a secret" you said as you turned to look at him and he was left confused.

"I was too shy to admit I liked you when we were younger but I grew the courage to tell you my feelings in a letter. Didn't you receive it?" He asked you

"What letter? I never received a letter after seventh grade from you two" you explained confused

"You never received it?! I couldn't wait to see you again hoping you read it but you never wrote again and never came back to visit. I thought you didn't accept it and were with Fukuda" Atsumu admitted not believing that you never received it.

"I wasn't ever dating Fukuda and I never ever received that letter Tsumu" you said

"Did it possibly get lost in the mail?" You asked out loud

"Samu wrote to you a lot of times too. But he stopped when you didn't write back anymore. He was so upset that he thought you didn't want to be friends anymore since you became more famous and made better friends" Atsumu said making your eyes widen at the news.

"Now I understand why Samu was so cold when we first met again in the beginning of school." You let out in realization

"I never received any letters from you two after seventh grade Tsumu." You explained as you kept trying to recall what possibly went wrong.

"Really? Are you telling me we could have been together if that letter reached you" Atsumu said in disbelief as you were still stuck in thoughts.

"There's no possible way that the letters got lost each time" you said before you finally connected the dots of what happened. You quickly stood up scaring Atsumu as you made your way to the door and started making your way downstairs.

"Hey wait a minute what are you doing?!"Atsumu said finally reaching your side as you walked down the hall.

"I'm going to call them out that's what I'm going to do" you said furious at what you found out happened. People stared but you didn't care.

"Try and relax first. Don't overstress yourself" Atsumu said worried

"How could I not be upset? They ruined everything!" You said loudly

"I'm not letting them get away with this" you said angrily before being stopped by arms around your waist.

"Tsumu let go of me. Not even you are stopping me from doing this" you said trying to walk but he held you in place.

"I'm not trying to stop you but you need to calm down. Calm down and then go" he said as he fought to keep you in place.

"Tsumu! Y/n!" You both heard as you turned to see a few of your friends and Osamu reaching you both

"Tsumu why are you holding y/n?" Osamu asked the question everyone was thinking

"I'm trying to stop her from getting herself into trouble! It would be nice if you guys helped" Atsumu said struggling with you

"Crap this is how she reacted?!" Ginjima said

"Let go of me Tsumu! Don't stop me!" You said furious as you escaped from his grasp starting to make a run for it.

"Stop her!" Tsumu yelled out from behind you before you were stopped by a pair of arms wrapping around your waist keeping you still. You looked up to see Osamu behind you as he held you close. You fought to get out of his grasp.

"Not you too. Let go of me" you fought

"Calm down!" He said as you continued moving around

"Let me go!" You yelled out as you fought to get free.

"I said to calm down!" He said before turning you around suddenly and connecting his lips to yours. You instantly relaxed as you reciprocated his kiss.

"Ahem" you heard one of your friends say

"Love birds we're in school. Relax yourselves" Rin said as you pulled away quickly with pink cheeks turning back to the group.

"At least she calmed down now" Akagi said

"I know someone was wrong in posting the photos but I didn't expect that type of reaction from you" Aran said confusing you

"What pictures?" You and Tsumu asked at the same time

"You haven't seen them yet? It's these pictures!" Akagi said as he showed you two his phone where you saw pictures taken of you and Samu in school as a couple from holding hands to even giving small kisses to one another. Your eyes widened as you saw it. Taking his phone you looked at what was on the screen.

"If it wasn't these pictures then what were you so mad about?" Rin asked confused

"Actress Park Y/n dating famous wingspiker Miya Osamu"

You looked through the article that was going around viral. It showed a picture of you disguised at the twins volleyball game and talked about how it was you and the one playing in the match was your boyfriend. Evidence was shown with some pictures taken of you two without you two knowing. You felt sick to your stomach at the comments and how mean everyone was being.

"How could she just decide to act like a commoner?"

"Is she stupid? She shouldn't have gotten caught dating"

"If you can't keep your dating life discrete as a celebrity then your career goes down the drain."

"So this is what she left the lavish life style for... is she insane?"

"You idiot. Don't let her read the comments" Atsumu said before taking the phone away from your hand and keeping it as far away from you but it was too late as you already finished reading them.

"Ignore the comments they're a bunch of losers just jealous of you" Osamu said suddenly before Yuna and Kaito interrupted you two out of breath.

"Y/n you left your phone behind at lunch. Your agency is calling!" Yuna said worried as you took the phone

"Hello" you said over the phone after taking a deep breath

"Y/n! What's this news all of a sudden?!" The employee yelled over the phone

"Are you really dating some random boy there?! How is it possible? We always told you to be careful!" The employee yelled

"Is it true? We always told you to be truthful with us" They asked again as you gripped the phone harder.

"Why do I need to be the one to tell you the truth?" You asked coldly

"It's not like you guys ever told me everything! Keep guessing and leave me alone!" You yelled back into the phone catching your friends off guard before you hung up.

"I need some time" was all you said as you walked off leaving the group alone as you walked in the opposite direction. The rest of your day went slow. You attended class but weren't paying attention to what was being taught as you were so distracted.

It was the second to last class period when you found yourself in the bathroom stall. You were just about to leave when you heard the door open and a new voice after the door closed.

"I can't believe you actually exposed them" the girl voice said as you stayed in your spot.

"I didn't want to do it" you heard Yukis voice surprising you

"But If I can't be with him then I'm ruining everything in between them" she finished saying as you felt your blood run cold.

"Maybe this will finally teach her that they don't belong together. In the end her career will make them break up" Yuki said.

"She can give him all the attention right now but when she goes back to where she belongs she'll see what it puts him through and that it won't work in the end" she continued

The stall door being slammed open made the two girls jump in fear as they turned to see you. It was quick and easy. The walk to Yuki was quick before you slapped her across the face. Your hands made their way to her school jacket as you clenched the fabric in your hands angrily.

"What is actually wrong with you Yuki?!" You yelled out angrily

"Why would you do this?!" You yelled before she grabbed your jacket back furiously.

"Who are you to tell me what I can do and can't?!" She yelled back

"They might have followed everything you said in Tokyo but not here" she yelled before pulling your hair suddenly

As the yelling grew louder it caught other students attention as they watched in a crowd from the door way. You were on top of Yuki beyond pissed off after she put her hands on you. Pulling her hair harder you were over all of it.

"Why did you do it Yuki?!" You asked angrily

"Because you had him! You were dating the boy I fell in love with!" Yuki answered angrily

"You have everything and did you really need to take him too?!" Yuki yelled

"If only you never came back! Everything would have been different!" Yuki continued

"Is this love to you?!" You asked furious

"How could you throw Samu in the dirt?! That's not love!" You yelled angrily

"You're an idiot! If you did things differently then maybe there would have been different outcomes. Don't blame me for you being too much of a coward to confess your feelings. That's not love!" You said before you felt the girl pull your hair harshly.

"Don't you dare tell me what I feel! You're nothing but a self centered actress!" Yuki yelled as you furiously pulled her hair.

"I'm self centered?! Says the one who played with the twins. How could you ever hurt Tsumu? And now you're trying to get with his brother. Do you think they're both push overs?you're wrong! If I'm self centered then what are you?!" You yelled before you felt arms around your waist picking you up off the girl. You were let go of to see Osamu help the girl in front of you up.

"That's enough!" He yelled as you bit the inside of your cheek frustrated

"Get some ice for yourself that's going to swell. That's the last words of advice you'll be getting from me Yuki" you said coldly before giving the two one last look before walking out of the bathroom.

In the nurses office you sat down on the bed with an ice pack to your head from where your hair had been pulled. The door opened and you were greeted with Osamu entering by himself as you avoided making eye contact with him. You saw his feet stop in front of you before you looked up at the boy.

"Shouldn't you be with your girlfriend?" You asked coldly

"I am with my girlfriend" he answered slightly shocking you

"Let me clarify that. I mean the girl you love" you said as your heart ached

"I am with the girl I love" he said as you felt disappointed knowing he meant it in a different way. Before you could stop him he took the ointment and helped place it over your cuts before placing a bandaid over them giving them the final touch.

"Thank you for defending me" he said breaking the silence that was left between you both

"But I would prefer you don't get into fights that risk you getting hurt" he said before placing his thumb over your lip. You felt yourself start to lean closer as he did the same. His lips were right in front of you when you pulled back quickly. It was getting dangerous. You didn't know if you would be able to stop if you two ended up kissing. You missed him.

"I should go. I'm sure I have a lot of explaining to do with the principal" you said before standing up and making your way out of the nurses office leaving the boy alone.

The next day was horrible for you as you barely made it through all your classes. The last bell rang signaling school came to an end. After everything you still avoided everyone but Kaito and Yuna. The news and rumors about you on the internet made you sick. Due to that you turned off your phone completely to no longer see it all. Walking with Yuna as she had her arm around yours you tried your best to feel better for her knowing she was worried.

"Are you going anywhere after school today?" Yuna asked you as you put away the final books in your locker.

"I can't. I won't be a subject to anymore rumors" you said sternly

"If that's the case can I come over to your house? I don't want to leave you alone while you're going through this" Yuna said

"Of course you can Yuna. Thank you" you said garateful as you closed your locker and looked at her.

"What are friends for?" She asked with a smile. You gave her a small smile before Kaito interrupted you both out of breath.

"Kaito what's wrong?" Yuna asked first worried as you looked at your friend.

"M-M" he started to say as you both waited for him to continue

"Your ex boyfriend" Kaito blurted out leaving you more worried

"What about him?" You asked

"Miya Osamu got into a fight!" Kaito finally answered as you finally noticed the remaining students rushing out of the building. You quickly followed them down the hall as you tried not to panic. It was in the schoolyard in which you found the crowd of students. Pushing through the crowd with Kaito and Yuna you reached the front to see Osamu throwing punches at another student underneath him. Before you could reach out you saw other students step in.

"That's enough Samu!" Aran yelled out as he pulled the boy off of the other student. You saw the student with the bloody nose get help from his other friends as they helped him up.

"That's not everything he deserves! Don't you ever talk about her again!" Osamu yelled out at the other student as he was held back by Aran and Rin.

"Don't even think about ever going near her! If we catch you that won't be then end of it!" You heard Atsumu yell as you turned to see him being held back by Ginjima and Akagi.

"Let's go" the other student said wiping his nose as he made eye contact with them one last time before leaving with his friends. You caught his gaze just before he left the crowd. Turning back to the twins and your other friends you met Osamus eyes as he saw you. You were about to reach out for him and go towards him but a hand on your shoulder stopped you.

"Let's go Y/n" Yuna said as she pulled you in the direction away from the crowd with Kaito. You three walked towards your house as you were silent the entire walk home.

"What happened? Why did Samu get in a fight?" You asked a loud catching your friends attention.

"Apparently that student was making rumors about you going back and forth between the twins. Osamu heard his comment when they were walking out of school and that's how everything went down" Kaito explained to you

"Luckily the others caught Atsumu before he got involved. It was already bad that Osamu was the one who fought him would have been worse if both twins got involved. He deserved it " Kaito said as you felt yourself go soft at the truth of what happened.

"He should take his own advice" you said suddenly as you remembered what the boy told you the day before leaving your friends confused.

The next day after talking with the principal and sitting through a school assembly about how everything regarding you should be kept private and shouldn't be shared by other students you found yourself with Yuna and Kaito in your room. The phone kept ringing so you turned it off.

"How long are you going to not answer their calls?" Kaito asked

"Forever" you answered sick of the mention of your company.

"What about the twins?" Yuna asked

"You can't avoid them forever" she added

"I know." You responded shortly as you got through your homework and finished.

"Are you alright?" Kaito asked

"Not at all. My company lied to me this whole time and I was betrayed by someone who I thought was on good terms with." You answered

"But being with you guys it makes everything feel a bit better. Thanks for being my friends" you said giving them a small smile that they returned.

"If you want to talk about anything else with us let us know. We're your friends of course" Yuna said as she held your hand in hers reassuringly

"There's actually something I need to tell you guys" you said after a moment of silence as they waited for you to continue.

It was a long story but you told them everything. How you and Osamu started the deal and how it ended with Atsumu telling you the truth and the fight with Yuki.

"There is one thing that Yuki said that has me worried. That's about my career eventually coming between Osamu and I. Just look at the reactions right now from everyone. I'm scared that it will happen" you explained

"I don't think that will happen" Kaito reassured you as Yuna agreed.

"If you love him and he loves you then you two will figure something out to make it work" he said

"But What if he doesn't love me the way I love him?" You asked worried

"Are you kidding? He's madly in love with you! There's a reason why we believed you two were a couple" Yuki said

"Even with that you still need to talk to him and be honest with you're feelings" Yuki added

"You're both right" you said

It wasn't until later that night that you walked both of your friends out of your house after giving them hugs and saying your goodbyes.

"Now would be a perfect time to talk to him" Kaito whispered in your ear as you hugged him. Pulling back you looked at him confused before turning to see the twins just arrive home after their practice as you met their eyes.

"Well we should get going now. Isn't that right Kaito?" Yuna said

"Right see you tomorrow at school" he said before the two left as you stayed out with the twins.

"Y/n want to come over?" Atsumu asked first

"Sure" you answered before making your way to them.

"Great we have a lot we need to talk about! Especially about where we stand with our feelings" he said making your eyes widen at his words. Before you could glance at the other boy the blonde haired boy pulled you inside with an arm around your shoulder.

"Tsumu you're all sweaty from practice gross" you complained

"Oh come on. You still love me even when I'm like this" he said laughing.

It didn't take long before the gray haired twin followed and gave you two one last look before making his way upstairs. It wasn't until the coast was clear that Osamu left that Atsumu quickly sat you on the couch next to him.

"Why did you say we needed to talk about our feelings for one another?" You asked

"Only to get back at Samu for earlier. You should have seen his face. It was priceless" he said before you punched him in the shoulder

"I'm kidding. I know where our feelings stand but I wanted to talk to you." He said

"Are you alright? It must have been a lot happening so suddenly" he said worried over you

"I'm getting through it but I'll be fine" you explained

"I started to think about it and I actually wanted to speak to Samu first to clarify everything" you said

"Are you finally going to tell him how you feel?!" The boy asked excitedly

"I am" you admitted with red cheeks

"Are you alright with that Tsumu?" You asked next

"I know what I told you about my feelings for you back then but don't worry about it. I want you and Samu to be happy together if you two love one another" he reassured you before you gave him a hug and he returned it.

"Thanks Tsumu" you said happily before pulling back

"Go and wait for Samu in his room. I'm sure he'll be happy to see you" Atsumu said giving you one last Pat on the head before following his advice and making your way to the room you were familiar with. The wait in the boys room was one that made you nervous as you waited sitting on his bed. You looked around the room before noticing the picture frame of you two on one of your first dates on his desk. It's been a while since you were in his room and it was the first time you saw the picture frame of the two of you. You looked at the picture in awe as you made your way to the frame by the desk. The door opening surprised you as you looked to see the shirtless boy in front of you with slightly damp hair. Quickly you looked away from the boy as you felt your cheeks go red. The sound of walking through the room and the closet door being open was heard as you avoided looking at him.

"What are you doing here still? I thought you went home after talking to Atsumu" he said as he reached you

Putting the picture back in its place on the desk you turned to the boy.

"I wanted to talk with you Samu" you said

"If this is about you telling me about you and Tsumu getting together then don't worry about it" he said with hurt eyes as you looked at him before laughing lightly

"What's so funny?" He asked you confused at your reaction

"You're really cute when you're jealous Samu" you said before pinching his cheek lightly and pulling back.

"But that's not what I'm here for" you said before taking his hand and leading him to sit on his bed beside you.

"I wanted to clarify some things with you" you started as he waited for you to continue.

"I broke up with you because I heard Yuki confess to you that one day. I thought about our deal and how it started and that's why I made the decision to break up with you" you explained as he listened.

"Tsumu came up to me and we talked about everything and came clean to one another. He let me know about his feelings he had for me since we were younger and I told him I had feelings for him too but we cleared it up and know that whatever time we could have had together is gone now." You continued

"He also did tell me that he confessed over a letter I never received when we were younger and that you sent me many letters I never received either." You said

"My agency kept all the letters from you two away from me." You explained

"First I want to say I'm sorry if I made you feel like I didn't want to be friends anymore because I was becoming famous and second" you started before taking a pause as you felt your heart race.

"I don't know when it exactly started but I care about you a lot. I'm in love with you Samu. Sorry it took me so long to say it aloud to you" you finally let out as the boy stayed silent

"Are you alright Samu? You're worrying me with how silent you are" you said after it was quiet in between you two for so long

His lips against yours suddenly took you off guard before you kissed him back and wrapped your arms around his neck. You two stayed like that for a while before he pulled back first

"I love you too" he confessed with red cheeks as you felt your heart race.

"I was so worried that you might not have felt the same for me but I'm glad that it's different from that" he said as he hugged you close

"How could I not fall in love with you? After all the time we spent together through everything it would be impossible" you said as you gave him another soft kiss that he returned

"What happens now Samu?" You asked

"We'll officially be boyfriend and girlfriend and let's take everything one step at a time" he said reassuringly as he gave your hand a squeeze

"That sounds nice" you said with a soft smile.

The rest of the night was spent with you two cuddling as you snuggled against Samu's chest on his bed and he hugged you close. This was everything you wanted.

The next day you two walked hand in hand to school together as you felt your heart flutter. You two were happy with just being with one another. It wasn't until you two arrived close to the school that you saw how crowded it was by many people and reporters.

"There they are!" You heard someone call out before you two quickly surronded by cameras and reporters

"Ms Park is this your way of confirming the rumors with mr.Miya?" A reporter asked

"Miya Osamu how does it feel to be dating Ms park?!" Another yelled out

Osamu gave your hand a squeeze before pulling you close to him as he led the way through the crowd towards the school. Many questions were asked and yelled for you two but none were answered as you made your way through the crowd. Finally reaching the school gate doors you two entered and were finally away from the whole crowd.

"Sorry about that Samu" you apologized to the boy

"Don't apologize. It's just something that comes with dating such a beautiful actress" he said as you blushed. The other students stares were more manageable then the crowd of reporters stares. Once entering school you two were met with the vice principal and your manager surprising you.

"Ms Park Mr Miya please follow us. We need to have a conversation in the office" the vice principal said before you two followed the adults.

"Ms.park it might be best if you two aren't seen holding hands. The boss will be upset" your manager warned

"I don't care whether he gets upset or not" you answered before giving Osamus hand a light squeeze as you both walked hand in hand towards the office. The vice principal and manger entered the office first before you and Osamu walked hand in hand to be met with the principal and your boss sitting at the desk already. Taking a seat in the open chairs you waited for them to speak.

"Ms park your boss called the meeting today" the principal explained before you met eyes with your boss.

"I wouldn't have had to fly all the way here and call the meeting if you had answered the phone Ms. Park" your boss said

"What made you think that was okay? We needed to get a hold of you in order to give the media an answer but look as a result the media showed up to your school to get direct answers" your boss let out frustrated

"Now let me ask again. Are you and Mr.Miya in a relationship together?" He asked

"We are. Why is there an issue with that?" You asked as you coldly looked at your boss

"We went over this Ms park. Dating will ruin your career. Especially if it's not the person that is fitting for you to date" your boss explained as you glared at him

"Who are you to tell me who I should date and who I shouldn't and when I can or can't?" You asked upset

"Who gave you the right to hide all the letters from the twins and to distance us by doing that?" You asked angrily as your bosses eyes widened

"Who told you about the letters?" He asked

"Who cares about who told me? It still doesn't change the fact that it was wrong." You said

"Ms park we only wanted to do what was best for you and your career" your boss explained

"Who asked you to do that? Who asked you to make decisions of what was best for me? Not once have you ever asked me how I'm feeling or what I want to do" you replied upset as he went silent at your words. The silence in the room dragged before you felt Osamus hand over yours. You looked at the boy as he gave you a reassuring look.

"Sir once my contract ends. I want to terminate my connection to the agency" you finally said aloud taking the man off guard.

"Ms park wait a minute don't take such drastic decisions now. We have time until the contract ends" the man said

"My contract with you ends next year. The deal was while I'm in school not to take any acting jobs. Once the contract ends everything with the agency does as well." You said more firmly

"Now if you excuse us we have to get to class" you said before leaving with Osamu leaving your boss completely in disbelief.

It didn't take too long after when you heard the office door open and running foot steps to you two who were further down the hall already.

"Ms park these belong to you" your manager said as she handed you many letters.

"Sorry I couldn't give them to you earlier but the boss asked me not to. I kept them all safe for you and seeing that you found out about them I think it would be best for you to have them" your manager explained as you felt relief and accepted them before giving her a hug and pulling back

"Thank you so much for holding onto them. I also understand that it was your job and that you had to keep it hidden so don't worry about it. Goodbye" you said before walking back to class with Osamu.

"It's late but I'm glad you finally received the letters" Osamu said as he held your hand.

"Me too" you said feeling at comfort as you two were together. Ever since that day you two stayed as a happy couple. Not everything was easy at first and at times but you two always managed to make it work. As you once said the contract was the last with your former agency. You two did everything together and were always their for the other. When Osamu told you for the first time he no longer wanted to play volleyball you understood his wish. When he told his brother Atsumu of course was upset and angry but after time he learned to accept his decision. It was your final year and you were debating about whether going to college or going back into acting and finding a new place in the entertainment world.

"Samu I think I'll attend college here in hyogo" you said as you two laid in his bed under the covers.

"Really? What are you planning to study?" He asked you as he held you

"I don't know yet but I'm sure I'll find something I want to study" you answered

"What about acting? Are you sure you don't want to try it again?" He asked

"At times I do want to act again but then again I'm worried too" you said

"What are you worried about?" He asked you

"That I will be stuck with a horrible agency like my former one" you answered all though that wasn't all of your worries.

"You'll find a good one this time. I know you will" Osamu reassured you as you hugged him tight

"If you want to try acting then why don't you try it?" Osamu asked you this time as you looked up at him

"If I try acting again then I'll be away from you. I don't want to leave you" you said finally revealing your real worry. He sat up and you followed quickly after seeing his sudden reaction.

"Is the reason you're not choosing what you want to do because of me?" Osamu asked as you couldn't answer

"Samu I love you and I know I don't want to leave you" you said

"Y/n I love you too" he started

"But I think we should break up" he said shocking you

"What?" You let out in disbelief as you tried to process how the night suddenly changed in between you both.

"I knew my career would end up breaking us up" you said in disbelief before Osamu placed his hands on your shoulders and made you pay attention to him

"It's not your career. It's me. I don't want to hold you back from following your dreams and being happy" he said with eyes you couldn't read.

"I'm happy with you Samu" you said as you felt your voice break.

"I know but I want you to experience more things and if you're thinking about me all the time then you want be able to go and try new things. This will do us both good" he said. Quickly you pulled away from his grasp. You didn't say a word as you got dressed and got ready to go. You reached the door when his voice stopped you

"Aren't you going to say goodbye to me?" He asked as you turned to look at him one more time.

"I hope you made the right decision Samu. Goodbye" you said with a cold look before leaving the room. Walking down the stairs you wiped your tears away ignoring Atsumu asking what was wrong as you walked out heartbroken. The walk to your house you couldn't stop thinking about what Yuna told you years ago when you and Osamu were fake dating.

"If you love him and he loves you then you two will figure something out to make it work"

Your heart ached because it showed that after the time you two spent together it didn't work out in the end between you both.

It was two weeks later when you first saw Osamu. Atsumu contacted you frequently to make sure you were alright after finding out that you two broke up. It was a Friday night and you found yourself at the volleyball game with Kaito and Yuna the newly formed couple. They offered to accompany you after you told them about the break up but that you had to attend the game because it was your friends last game. You watched the game in awe and tried not looking at your ex boyfriend but it was hard when he was one of the star players on the team. You tried not to feel upset because you wanted to be there to support your friends but you couldn't help it. Your eyes naturally fell to your ex boyfriend like they usually did when he played. It was the end of the game when you congratulated your friends for their win.

"Tsumu! Rin!" You said happily as you hugged them both

"Good job out there you two were amazing!" You said as they smiled

"I'm so glad you showed up!" Atsumu said happily

"Honestly we thought you might not show up tonight" Suna added

"I would never miss your last game" you said reassuring them

You congratulated a few more players before you bumped into Osamu.

"Hey" he said

"Hey" you replied back awkwardly. The silence between you both lingered a bit too long as you started to feel uncomfortable at the rare silence between you two.

"Good game Samu" you said congratulating him

"Thanks" he responded before the silence returned

"Y/n! You're here!" You heard Ginjima say as he made his way too you and gave you hug that you returned.

"Nice game out there Ginjima" you said before the boy led you to the opposite side.

"Come say hi to a few of the other players" he said

"Thanks Ginjima" you said quietly once you both got further away

"No problem it was painful seeing you two interact" he said before you greeted akagi and the rest of the team.

You were talking with Akagi and Ginjima when a boy came up to you with chocolates and a rose.

"Y/n. I wanted to give you these. I liked you for a while and you looked so beautiful today that I wanted to confess" he said taking you off guard.

"Uh oh" you heard Ginjima say in the back

"Thank you so much for the chocolate and flowers and confessing but I'm sorry I can't accept this. I'm not ready for a relationship right now" you said apologetically

"I understand but please keep my chocolates and flowers I am a big fan of your work after all" he said before handing you the items.

"Thank you" you said before he gave you a smile and left

"Isn't this so cute!" You said happily as you looked at the rose and chocolates handed to you

"Yeah so cute but the boy doing it in front of your boyfriend wasn't so cute" Akagi said as you looked at him

"Ex boyfriend" you corrected him before saying your goodbyes and making your way back to Kaito and Yuna. What you didn't notice was the way Atsumu and Rin had to hold back Osamu as they watched the boy confess to you from a far.

"Fool. Roses aren't even her favorite" Osamu said annoyed

"For someone who broke up with her you sure are upset she was given flowers" Suna said

"Shut up" Osamu said before walking off

It was a month later since the break up when you met Osamu in the hallway as you both tried getting to class. Each of your fan groups which once got along with one another when you two dated now glared at one another with cold attitudes as they looked at one another from behind you two on the opposite ends of the hallway. Walking towards one another you still felt heartbroken but pushed the feeling away as you walked past the boy. You didn't want to show him that you were upset. Walking past him you moved on with your day. It was like that for the rest of the school year. Instead of holding hands and taking walks with your former boyfriend through the school hallways you were by yourself and recieved many letters, flowers, and chocolates from fans and admirers who confessed.

Two months after your break up you were in front of the boy with a box of his things at his front door.

"Here you go Osamu. I thought it would be best to give you back your things and clothes" you said as the boy took it.

"Let me get your things as well real quick" he said before going upstairs and coming back with your things. Taking your box you walked away with a heavy heart.

Just because you and Osamu broke up didn't mean that you stopped hanging out with the friends you shared. You still spent time with Suna and Tsumu and the others. At times you would go over the Miya house to hang out with Atsumu and sometimes he would come over to your home. Not a word was said in between you and Osamu when you would go over to their house but he would complain about you two being too noisy and loud at times.

It was graduation day when you took pictures with your friends and family.

"I want to take a picture of the three of you! I can't believe you three grew up so quickly!" Ms Miya said as she took a picture of you with the twins. Although it was awkward you couldn't deny a picture from your parents and Ms Miya. You stood in between both boys as you three smiled for the cameras with your flowers in hand.

"Now one of y/n with each of you" Ms Miya said

You first took a picture with Atsumu as you both hugged one another and smiled for the cameras. Then you took one with Osamu awkwardly.

"I know you two aren't together anymore but can you two not be awkward for a second. I really want to take nice pictures of you two" your mother said. You inched closer to the boy but he surprised you by wrapping his arm around your waist and hugging you close to him. You forced a smile as you two stayed in the position for a while.

"Perfect!" Ms Miya said before you quickly pulled back from Osamu.

"Since you three graduated we want to take you three out for dinner like old times" your father said before leading the way as you three followed your families. It was one nice last dinner in between your families to celebrate a great ceremony.

After graduation it was the end of June when you left home. You said goodbye to your friends and then parents and family.

"Good luck sweetheart!" Your mother said hugging you close

"Thank you mom! Dad! Take care of Julie" you said as you mentioned your younger sister who was ten. After saying your goodbyes you got into the car before leaving with your manager. Your manager was the same one you had when you were younger from your old agency. You managed to get her to leave the agency and be your full time manager for your new career in Tokyo with your new agency.

Living in Tokyo wasn't easy at first but the phone calls with your friends and family and thanks to the help of your manager and agency everything felt slightly easier. Entering back into the acting world was hard and easy at the same time. Hard because it has been a while but easy because you recieved many offers with the news of you acting again. You worked on movies and commercials and even sang a bit. Singing wasn't a part of the plan originally but somehow it happened. The song that started it all was a cover of plastic love which was your favorite song. Later on you also found yourself starting in a drama with Fukuda again. The reaction from the public was well recieved as they were happy to see you two reunite for another drama. You tried dating in the first year of your return to acting. It was with one of your co stars in a movie but it was kept private and in the end not much happened as it didn't work out though he was a nice guy and made you happy in the moment. You were 22 when you started filming with Fukuda again for your drama. There were kiss scenes and intimate scenes shared between you both for filming. Although it was just a drama it led to you two having supporters as a couple. Many people thought you were a couple but that wasn't the case. If anything you and Fukuda were only good friends.

"You're still coming to our game right?" Atsumu asked you over the phone earlier that day.

"I am Tsumu. You better win otherwise I won't show up again" you said jokingly before hanging up.

That's how you found yourself at the game of Msby vs the schweiden alders. Tsumu gave you three more tickets and you decided to invite Kaito and Yuna along with Fukuda. You and Fukuda of course disguised the best you both could with hats and sunglasses and mask. The game was about to start when you left Kaito and Yuna in the VIP section in the gym. You and Fukuda went on the mission of finding the food for you four.

"What do you want to eat?" Fukuda asked you as you looked at all the stands but smelt a very delicious aroma of food following the way it came from

"Let's eat this food" you said excitedly before you two joined the line of people. The two of you stayed silent as you waited in line patiently for your turn. It took a while before you two reached the front of the line.

"It smells delicious" you said happily as it was your turns next. Walking up to the stand window you both pulled down your sunglasses as you looked at the menu. You looked before noticing what you wanted to get.

"Hello what can I get for you two?" The lady in black asked politely before Fukuda ordered your order for all four of you

"The next window will have your order ready in a few minutes" she politely said before you two moved to the next window. It was only a small wait as you both made small talk before your order was ready

"Order seventy eight" a voice called out from the window as you both made your way to the window.

"How much is it?" Fukuda asked before paying

"Your food will be right out please wait to the side over here" the cashier said as you followed his order

"Order seventy eight your food is ready" you heard a familiar voice say as your eyes widened in surprise at hearing the voice after a long time. There Osamu Miya stood in front of you as he held the order out. He had the same reaction as you as you both stared at one another. You took in all his changes and looked at his now brown hair under the cap like it's original color when you both were young. You were about to call his name but Fukuda was the first to move.

"Thank you sir" he said before taking the bag from his hand

"Let's go before the game starts" Fukuda said before he placed your sunglasses back down and did the same to his before wrapping an arm around your waist and leading you back to the direction of the gym. You wanted to look back but stopped yourself. How could you possibly be such an idiot and not notice that the booth was Onigiri Miya. After Atsumu told you so much times that Osamus opened his own restaurant and would often sell food at their games. The walk back to your seats flew by as you joined Kaito and Yuna as if nothing happened. Instead you ignored your racing heart and watched the game fully entertained at the amazing game. It was after the game where you met Atsumu and the other volleyball players. You gave Atsumu a big hug.

"Congratulations Tsumu!" You congratulated the boy happily as did your other friends.

"Thanks. I'm so happy you were able to attend" he said before pulling back.

"I have a few interviews I have to do now but will I see you at Samu's restaurant to celebrate?" He asked you surprising you with the news.

"We're throwing a big celebration at his restaurant tonight. It would be nice if you came and saw everyone else" he said

"Sure I'll be there tonight send me the address" you answered before he gave you one kiss on the cheek before leaving with a smile.

"See you later" he said as you walked away with your friends.

"Will you be alright?" Yuna asked you worried

"I will we're only going to see old friends while I'm here" you reassured her.

The four of you arrive later than the party time start. It was eight pm when you entered Onigiri Miya for the first time. You looked over the restaurant in amazement seeing the layout before walking in and seeing everyone else separated by tables as they ate together and had fun catching up. You felt timid suddenly as everyone stopped and stared at you four.

"Do I look that bad?" You whispered to Yuna

"You look stunning that's why everyone's staring" she whispered back before you were greeted by Atsumu with a hug

"Welcome everyone! Come join us over here" he said as he led you to the table where your former schoolmates and former inarizaki members all sat as well as Osamu.

"Hello everyone. It's great to see you all again no long time no see" you said with a smile before everyone greeted you one by one. Many hugs were shared as you caught up with Atsumu,rin, Ginjima, akagi, Aran, kita, and everyone else. By the time you finally caught up with almost everyone you took a seat at the only seat open next to Osamu. Taking a drink you felt relieved that it helped take the nerves you felt at the moment go away. The restaurant was full of everyone talking happily with one another while Kaito and Yuna caught up with the others and Fukuda talked with Ginjima right beside you as they got to know one another.

"How have you been all this time?" Osamu asked finally breaking the silence in between you both.

"I have been well thanks for asking Osamu" you said shortly before taking another drink. Before he could say anything else the news caught all of your attention from the tv as clips of the game today were showed on the screen.

"The amazing game in between the msby and schweiden alders occurred today. Msby came out victorious thanks to their amazing team work in a close match against the alders. It was a nice game where everyone's favorite players came together to show a spectacular play. Not only did you see your favorite volleyball players but also your favorite actors. Actress Park Y/n and actor Fukuda Sora were seen in attendance to the spectacular game. We all thought those two were in a relationship together but are they really? Some fans spotted Actress park Y/n very close to famous MSBY setter Miya Atsumu at todays game. Is it possible we're witnessing a love triangle form in front of us? Actress park is lucky to have both the actor and setter hooked around her finger." The female reporter said as pictures of you with both men were showed on screen.

"I think you mean to say Miya Atsumu and Fukuda Sora are lucky to be very close with actress park." the male reporter said as they continued finishing up the segment before moving on. After watching the news you laughed lightly.

"Can you believe it? People will make dating rumors over anything. Can't I just be friends with people now?" You asked aloud before taking another drink

Not to soon after your cover of plastic love started to play on the radio catching you off guard.

"Y/n when did you become a singer?" Suna asked first from where he sat

"It wasn't ever a part of the plan but my agency insisted that it would be a good opportunity for me" you explained with red cheeks of embarrassment

"Not only taking up the number 1 actress position but also the number 1 singer now" Akagi teased making you and everyone else at the table laugh lightly. It didn't take long before someone came up to your table.

"Hello it's nice to meet you finally I'm Hoshiumi a big fan" he said greeting you politely

"Hello Hoshiumi. It's nice to meet you I'm a big fan of you as well" you said kindly

"I just wanted to ask if you would like to dance together?" He asked with red cheeks making you smile

"I would love to" you answered before you took his hand and he led the way as you two joined the others on the dance floor. You smiled and laughed lightly as you danced with the man on the floor happily. His cheeks were red the whole dance. You two danced two songs before being interrupted.

"Can I have my turn to dance with my best friend?" Atsumu asked as Hoshiumi said his farewell and thanks before Atsumu took his spot. You two danced with smiles as you spun back in forth having a fun time together. It was almost your third song dancing when Fukuda took his spot.

"You know it was really nice being here" he said as you both danced

"Thanks for inviting me" he said

"Not a problem Fukuda. I'm glad you got to see how great of players my friends are" you explained

"Let's call this a vacation from work" you said relieved as he smiled agreeing as you two continued to dance with one another. You two danced for a while before you were interrupted by the familiar twins voice.

"Can I dance with you?" He asked surprising you. Not wanting to make it weird or any scene you gave him a small smile.

"Of course" you answered before Fukuda let go of you and you were instead in the arms of Osamu as he hugged you close to him. You felt your breath hitch at the sudden closeness with the boy as he led the dance.

"Am I still a good dancer? It's been a while" he said as you gave him a small smile as you remembered the past.

"You are" you answered as you hated the way your heart raced at the feeling of being so close to him again.

You two were quiet for a while before he spoke up again.

"I'm really glad to see you again" he started to say as he caught your attention

"I forgot to ask earlier but how have you been Osamu?" You asked curious

"I have been well. The restaurant has been doing well" he answered with a small smile

"I knew you would do well in Tokyo." He started to say suddenly

"I'm glad I let you go back then and didn't hold you back" he said as you felt your eyes water. Quickly you hugged him as you laid your head on his shoulder. You refused to let him see the tears that made there way to your eyes

You absolutely hated that this affected you still and that his words made you feel this way. You hated how you felt at home in his embrace. You two stayed silent as you danced like that for a while. After all the years away from one another you were surprised that it still felt like it was only you two in the world when you were together.

"Samu there's a phone call for you" you heard a female voice interrupt you both as you pulled back and looked to see the girl from the booth earlier right there dressed causally as she stared at the boy with stars in her eyes.

"Can you let them know I'll call them back later?" He asked the girl.

"Go answer the call Osamu I took up enough of your own time. I should head back to the table with Fukuda and the others" you explained before excusing yourself from him and making your way back to the table with a racing heart. You sat down and drank as you talked with friends. A few hours passed as you found yourself holding onto the wall for support as you made your way to the bathroom. Though you didn't make it far as you tried to control yourself with red cheeks from drinking so much.

"Y/n are you alright?" You heard a worried voice ask as you turned to the person

"Samu! What are you doing here in Tokyo?!" You asked

"This isn't Tokyo and you're completely wasted" he said with a small laugh

"I'm not wasted" you argued back letting go of the walk to turn to him before falling forward. Luckily he caught you on time before wrapping an arm around your waist and helping you straight up.

"Come on let's go. I'll take you home" he said before helping you walk back to the party area. You two reached the table with all of your friends.

"Y/ns completely wasted. I'll take her home" Osamu announced

"Don't worry about it I'll do it. We came here together" Fukuda said before standing up and reaching for you. Just before he could touch you Osamu pulled you closer to him and away from the actor.

"I got it. I know where she lives. Isn't that right Yuna. Kaito?" Osamu asked the couple through grit teeth trying to keep a calm composure with the actor.

"Right" they both answered.

"Samu take care of her!" Tsumu called out

"I will" he said as he grabbed your bag and phone.

"Taka make sure to close with Hana and lock the doors to the restaurant" Osamu called out to the other man as he made his way to get his coat and key.

"Excuse us and Goodnight everyone" he said one last time before leading the way out the door with a gentle arm around your waist. You were out of Osamus arms once you both exited the restaurant and he made sure to close the door behind him.

"What is this?" You asked as you looked at something on the ground crouched down as you looked at a puddle. Osamu quickly reached you before helping you stand up.

"I only turned around for one second and you got this far down the block" he said as he had his hands on your arms and looked at you before noticing the goosebumps on your bare arms.

"If you go out late why don't you bring a jacket with you to protect you from the cold?" He asked as he scolded you before placing his coat around your own arms and zipping it up keeping you snug in it.

"Are you my mother?" You asked with a laugh as he glared at you before he held your hand and started to lead the way. That was until you tugged him back staying in your spot.

"What are you doing?" He asked as you as he looked back at you.

"I don't want to go with you" you said as the boy rolled his eyes at you before picking you up around the waist a lifting you over his shoulder as he started to walk again

"What are you doing?!" You asked as you hit your fist against his back.

It didn't take long for Osamu to put you back down as he realized people that were around this late stared at your behind as you wore your skirt. Throwing a venomous glare at the people who looked at you he held your hand again and started to walk before you complained again.

"My feet hurt" you complained before the man took off your heels and kneeled in front of you with his back facing you.

"Get on" he said before you followed his orders. Standing up as he carried you on his back and holding your heels in one hand he started to make his way to his car which wouldn't have been to far if it wasn't for your stops. The walk was silent for a while before you spoke.

"Samu your hair looks pretty in its natural color" you said aloud

"Are you calling my old gray hair ugly?" He asked you

"No that was pretty too but your natural brown hair is prettier." You said

"I guess we won't see the gray hair again until your old" you said with a giggle as you made him laugh lightly. It went silent in between you both again on the walk. Osamu felt shivers down his spine as your lips touched bare neck giving him a soft kiss. It didn't take long before your teeth grazed his neck as he let out a small moan. You gently bit the area while he continued walking trying to hold his composure. Pulling back you noticed the dark red mark before blowing on it lightly and placing one last kiss on the area. You giggle lightly as you pulled back before he turned to look at you with burning cheeks.

"Do you think this is funny?" He asked you as you felt your breath hitch at how close your faces were suddenly. Quickly you looked away before laying your head against his shoulder. You two finally reached his car as he put you down gently and helped you in the car. After placing your seatbelt on Osamu started the car before driving away and towards your home. It didn't take long for you to fall asleep on the ride home. After a thirty minute drive you two found yourselves in front of your house as Osamu hugged you close keeping you up while trying to find the key to your house after knocking and no one answering.

"Where's your keys y/n?" He asked you as he searched your bag.

He searched before a picture fell out. Picking it up he saw a picture of you and your old co star you dated your first year back in Tokyo. It was one of you two in a photo booth taking pictures as a happy couple. Quickly he placed it back in your bag.

"Yuna has them" you answered as the boy sighed in disbelief.

"I just remembered mom telling me something about her and your family going on a trip together this week" Osamu said not believing the odds. Osamu searched the area on your porch where you used to keep the spare key hidden.

"The spare key isn't there anymore Samu. Mom and dad thought it was better to not have it hidden anymore once people found out I was attending high school here" you muttered

"Well then seeing we have no other options you'll stay the night at our old house" he said before helping you down the porch steps and making your way across to his house across the street. The walk to his house was a long one as he was careful you wouldn't fall over and safely made your way upstairs. Finally entering Osamus room he sat you on his bed gently before making his way to his drawer. He searched for clothes for you to change into for the night. After finding you some clothes to wear Osamu closed the drawer before noticing the pictures of you two from the photo booth years ago when you visited as a couple. Remembering the photo he saw of you and the other actor he tucked it away into his drawer.

"Here's some clothes for you to wear" he said turning back and reaching you again as he placed it beside you.

"I'll be right back" he said before excusing himself and making his way downstairs to the kitchen. Grabbing a glass of water and some pills for hangovers he made his way back upstairs.

"Can I come in?" He asked after knocking on the door.

"Come in" you answered before the boy entered only for his surprise to still see you in your same clothes from before.

Placing the water and pills down on the table next to his bed he made his way back to you.

"Why haven't you changed yet?" He asked you with arms crossed in front of you

"Because I don't want to" you answered back

"Get changed before you get sick keeping on the same clothes" he said again

"No I don't want to" you said again stubbornly

"If you don't change your clothes yourself I'll do it for you" he warned

"Do it I dare you to" you said crossing your arms against your chest.

"Don't say I didn't warn you" he replied before picking you up from his bed to stand up surprising you quickly he helped you out of you skirt and into his pajamas before doing the same with your shirt and changing it with his oversized. You crossed your arms over your chest as you glared at him

"Pervert" you let out

"It's nothing I have never seen before" he said as you felt your cheeks flush. He sat you down gently on the bed as he grabbed ointment from the side and placed it gently over your back heel that he held.

"What are you doing?" You asked him

"You said your feet hurt from the heels. I don't want them to keep you hurt" he said as he did the same with the other back heel of your leg. You watched quietly as he continued before you felt tears run down your face. Osamu was caught off guard as he felt your tears fall on his arm. Looking up he saw you crying taking him off guard

"Stop being so nice to me" you let out upset

"It makes it harder for me to hate you" you continued surprising him

"Why would you hate me? If you don't hate me then don't force yourself to" he said as you shook your head crying

"No I hate you" you said glaring at him

"I hate you for so much reasons" you continued

"For playing and leaving me. For not reaching out to me after leaving" you finished saying angrily

"I didn't play with you" he said reassuring you as you shook your head.

"You did play with my feelings even if you don't admit it. Even if you say you didn't you still left me and didn't reach out to me" you said upset as you rambled your emotions.

“Did I really mean that little to you?” You let out broken

"I really trusted you but you hurt me the most out of everyone I dated. I hate you!" You cried

"Calm down" he said trying to calm you down as he placed his hands on your shoulder.

"Don't tell me to calm down when your the cause of this!" You said pushing his hands off you. It didn't take long for him to kiss you on the lips shutting you up. You fought against him hitting him on the chest before you slowly gave up and returned the kiss naturally. After a while he pulled back

"Are you okay now?" He asked as you slowly nodded your head. As he was about to help you to bed to sleep you fell asleep against his shoulder. Carefully Osamu placed you under the covers and let you sleep.

You woke up with a giant headache as you slowly sat up. Looking around the room you realized you weren't in your own or in your own clothes. Looking down you noticed the clothes on you looked around the room realizing who's room it was. Looking next to you on the table you saw water and some pills left with a note.

"Here's some pills for your hangover and your clothes are folded in the laundry room. Breakfast is on the table. Please lock the door before you go"

You looked at the time seeing it was noon already after taking the medicine and drinking the water. Getting up you made your way downstairs to see no one home. Entering the kitchen you noticed the plate of eggs and rice. Sitting down you ate the breakfast in peace before washing your dishes and going to the laundry room to find your freshly washed clothes.

While you had freshly washed clothes you hated how comfy you felt in his clothes and how you missed the smell of his clothes. After getting dressed in his room and placing the folded clothes onto his bed you grabbed your bags and left the house after locking the front door. Before making your way to your apartment you made your way to Onigiri Miya. You entered the restaurant before stopping and looking around to see the crowded restaurant already.

"Hello how can I help you today?" A new employee greeted you as soon as you entered as you wore sunglasses in the restaurant.

"I would just like a coffee and a far table from everyone else if possible" you answered

"Of course miss follow me" the employee said before leading you to a far table in the corner of the restaurant

"We'll be right out with your coffee" the employee said getting ready to leave before you stopped him.

"Can you let Osamu know I'm here to see him?" You asked him taking him off guard

"Of course are you his girlfriend?" He asked you

"No. I'm his childhood friend" you answered before he nodded and left the table. Taking out your phone you texted your manager to stop by and pick you up from this location when possible. You tried ignoring your throbbing headache as you looked out the window.

"Hey. You asked to see me" Osamus voice caught you off guard as he joined you at the table sitting across from you after placing your coffee in front of you. Taking a sip of the coffee you sighed in relief.

"I did. I wanted to ask what happened last night. I can't remember anything" you explained

"Of course you can't remember everything with how much you drank last night. You were completely wasted" he explained

"We didn't do anything did we?" You asked worried

"You really can't remember? Last night was amazing" he answered seriously as you felt your cheeks turn red

"Something really did happen?" You asked shocked

"I'm joking" Osamu answered you

"Nothing happened last night beside me helping you change out of your clothes to more comfortable ones" he said as your cheeks turned an even darker shade of red.

"Thanks for helping me last night" you thanked him as you changed the subject

"For helping you get changed or for helping you get home?" He asked you as you reached over to punch him lightly before he broke out in laughter.

"Samu stop teasing me" you said before you two were interrupted

"Ms park would you like more coffee?" The girl you saw yesterday asked you as you both turned to her.

"No thank you" you answered her before turning back to Osamu and noticing the purple bruise on the side of his neck. Your eyes widened as you looked at the hickey. Was that there last night?

"Samu what happened to your neck?" You asked worried as you looked at it.

"I got stung by a mosquito" he answered you

"Stop lying that's too big to be a mosquito mark" you responded before stopping in your spot at realization.

"Did I do that?" You asked worried as the boy stayed silent.

"You did but it's not what you think. You ended up doing it when I carried you on my back last night" he explained

"I'm sorry Samu" you apologized embarrassed

"Don't worry about it" he reassured you as you reached your bag and looked inside the it before finding the item.

"Come with me" you said before grabbing your things and taking his hand in yours.

"Samu where's the bathroom?" You asked him

"There's a private one in our back room" he explained before leading the way through the restaurant and past the counter as he led you to through the kitchen of workers and to the back hallway that led to the back room. You two entered the private bath room as you made him sit on the closed toilet seat and standing in front of him you started to place the make up on his hickey. Blending the make up well for a few minutes you pulled back looking proudly over the now concealed area.

"Tada" you said as you helped him up and let him see himself in the mirror.

"Good as new" you said proud of yourself before the boy turned to you.

"Thank you" he said as you both stared at one another. Your heart started to race as you noticed how close you both were. Moving back you looked at yourself in the mirror pretending to fix your hair before you opened the door to the bathroom and you both walked out

"Don't thank me that's the least I could do after I caused it. You should start thinking about how you'll hide it for the next few days after you wash the make up off" you said getting ready to walk the way you entered from but being stopped

"Follow me real quick" he said before taking you further down the hall and to another door which led to an office. You watched as he looked through the closet before taking out a hoodie.

"Use this. People started staring earlier and it wouldn't be good for you to get caught" he explained as he handed you the black hoodie that you recognized was his volleyball hoodie with his number from high school. Taking the hoodie you put it over yourself as you noticed it was still a bit over sized on you like the past. You smiled as you looked at yourself in the mirror that was on one wall of the office.

"This fits just like it did before" you said with a small laugh before turning around to see the boy staring at you with a sweet look.

"Thanks Samu" you said before he spoke up again.

"How long are you staying?" He asked you

"I'm only staying until the end of the week" you answered him

"Then I'll be back off to work in Tokyo" you continued before you recieved a phone call from your manager.

"I'll be right out manager Kim" you said over the phone before hanging up

"I have to go now my manager is here" you told Osamu

"Right let me not keep you here any longer. I'll walk you out" he said before placing your hoodie over your head before walking out and opening the door for you to exit first. You two walked down the hall and past the kitchen to the front counter when you stopped him.

"Thanks Samu but I think I should leave by myself. I don't want to risk getting in trouble by being caught. See you around if I do before I go. If not then it was nice seeing you again after all this time" you said before getting ready to go.

"I'll return your hoodie before I go" you added before he shook his head

"Don't worry about it. Return it to me when you can there's no rush see you around" he said as you nodded before leaving the restaurant.

The rest of the week went by as you enjoyed the small little breaks you were able to have. While you were there you ended up taking a photo shoot with the volleyball teams in some sports wear. During that event you were paired with your famous best friend and three other members of his teams. You looked at all the pictures in amusement as the boys laughed at each other's photo shoots.

"You look so stupid" Atsumu laughed as he watched bokutos pose as he took the photos

"Don't be jealous Tsumu. Not everyone can be this great taking a photo shoot" Bokuto responded from a far as you laughed lightly at the teams antics. After a long day of filming and shooting photos and ads together it finally ended.

"How about we go out and eat together? It's been a long day and I'm hungry" Hinata said catching all of your attention as you all agreed.

"Perfect I know the best place where to have dinner" Atsumu said before leading the way as you all followed him.

It didn't take long before you five made it to Onigiri Miya at 8pm. The five of you arrived in perfect timing as no one was currently in the restaurant except about two customers who were finishing up.

"Samu can you seat us? We're starving" Atsumu said as the boy was surprised to see you with the four volleyball players.

"Of course follow me" he said as you all followed him to a table away from the remaking customers.

"Taka and Hana will help you guys out with your drinks in a moment" Osamu said as he handed you each the menus and leaving you five alone as he finished closing up doing what he needed to do for closing duty. It didn't take long for you the boy named taka to come up to your table and take your order for your drinks and food. As you five waited for your meals you all chatted about your daily lives with one another.

"Y/n how's working in the acting field?" Hinata asked you catching you off guard

"It's been good. A bit of a hectic schedule at times but it's worth it" you answered him

"Have you had time to date with that career?" Bokuto asked before Atsumu hit him on the shoulder

"What was wrong with that question? I was just wondering because y/ns really pretty and should be able to date" Bokuto explained as your cheeks turned red at the compliment.

"Bokuto read the room" Sakusa said trying not to face palm.

"What? Is there something I should know about?" Bokuto asked confused

"Osamu and Y/n used to date one another. Why would you ask if she had time to date when we're in her ex boyfriends restaurant?!" Sakusa let out frustrated before you were met with the man and his two employees behind him with the food and drinks behind the two of them. Atsumu threw a glare at both of his teammates before turning to his brother.

"Samu. We were just catching up on the past" Tsumu said trying to play it off.

"I wanted to join you guys but if it's something I shouldn't be apart of then I understand" he said as He placed the dishes down as his employees did the same with the drinks.

"You can join us Samu" you reassured him

"We're all grown adults here and we can handle our situations maturely" you said before taking a sip of your drink as the boy joined the table sitting next to you on the other side of the table.

"Well since we're grown adults getting back to the topic we were on I never knew Osamu and y/n were a couple back then" Bokuto said as you choked on your drink before both twins Pat your back from both sides helping you worried. You reassured them you were fine before turning back to Bokuto not noticing the glares Atsumu and Sakusa threw him.

"What I thought we were all mature adults?" Bokuto repeated your words

"We are. Continue" you reassured him as the rest of the group got the same memo.

"Maybe you never noticed because you were too obsessed with volleyball but everyone else noticed it" Sakusa responded

"Right even I noticed these two were going out" Hinata added as you ate your Onigiri.

"If you don't mind me asking. Why did you two break up?" Hinata asked this time as you choked again and the twins quickly Pat your back while one handed you your water. Once again not noticing the glare Atsumu and Sakusa gave the ginger boy. After calming down you turned to Osamu waiting for him to answer the question. Seeing he didn't answer you turned back to the boy.

"Samu broke up with me. He can answer you why we broke up" you said as the three boys at the table were left shocked at your response.

"We broke up because I didn't want to hold her back from acting and going to Tokyo" Osamu answered them as that left the boys surprised again.

"Are you serious?" Hinata and Sakusa asked at the same time staring at the man like he had two heads.

"Are you insane Osamu?!" Bokuto asked

"I don't know if I should call you a fool or a selfless idiot in love" Sakusa added

"You're better than me Osamu because if I was dating someone like y/n and we had no issues in our relationship then I would have married them right on the spot" Hinata added as the other three volleyball players agreed with him as you laughed at his comment.

"Okay enough of scolding Samu. It's been years and that's all in the past" you said as you looked at them before back at Bokuto.

"Bokuto you were asking if I had time to date while in Tokyo. Have you had time dating while being a volleyball player?" You asked him

"Not really" Bokuto answered as you agreed with him

"That's the exact situation I'm In. I haven't had much time to date while acting in Tokyo" you explained

"Not even Fukuda?" Bokuto asked suddenly

"Why does everyone keep thinking Fukuda and I have dated or are dating?!" You asked getting the same question again

"Maybe because of your chemistry with him on screen and your close relationship outside of work." Sakusa said this time as you felt your cheeks turn red at how they mentioned your on screen chemistry.

"Not even Fukuda. We aren't dating and never have we're just friends" you answered bokuto and their questions not noticing the relieved look on the brown haired boys face next to you.

"Honestly I'm kind of surprised you two haven't fallen in love after your drama and got married already. It's hard to fake that type of chemistry with just anybody" Hinata added as he ate as your cheeks turned even redder at his comment.

"Hinata!" The four men around you all said at the same time scolding him at his comment.

"What?!" He let out surprised from their outburst

"I'm just saying the truth we're all thinking!" The ginger boy defended himself

"Hinata I recommend you shut up before the twins attack you over your comments" Sakusa said as he unconsciously got closer to the boy pulling him away from the twins who were furious.

"Okay that's enough everyone calm down. We're all grown mature adults" you reminded them before you continued

"Now that I clarified Fukuda and I had no romantic relationship together. I haven't had much time to date though I'm thankful to all the confessions that were made" you started again

"But I did date one of my co stars within the first year that I came back into acting" you explained to them.

"Wait a minute that rumor was true?!" Tsumu asked you surprised as you nodded your head

"Why didn't you ever tell me?!" He asked this time

"Because I knew you would overreact like this!" You answered him

"I didn't want to let anyone know about our relationship and he didn't either" you explained

"I can't believe those pictures were real" Atsumu said

"What pictures?" Bokuto asked curious at the man's reaction

"A company that exposes couples by catching them on dates reported that they were dating but since there was no confirmation everyone thought it was fake" Atsumu explained

"Can we see how he looks? I'm curious now" Hinata said suddenly.

"Y/n has a picture of him in her bag" Osamu said suddenly surprising you all at his first words in a while

"How do you know that?" You asked

"When I took you home a few days ago I saw it in your bag when I tried finding your keys" Osamu answered leaving you confused as you saw a look in his eyes you couldn't read.

"Ooh you two went home together?" Bokuto asked

"Not because of what you think!" You and Osamu both said at the same time taking Bokuto off guard.

"Are you sure about that?" Bokuto asked you both confusing you two

"Samu whats that on your neck?" Bokuto asked spotting the hickey as you turned and saw it too as your eyes widened.

Quickly you pulled the photo of you and your ex boyfriend out of your bag and showed it to the group

"This is my ex boyfriend" you said showing the picture to them but realizing they weren't looking at it as you placed it down.

"What's what?" Atsumu asked as he turned to his brother to look at the area Bokuto pointed out. Everything happened to quickly as you noticed Atsumu start to lunge over the table to reach for his brother.

"Samu what did I tell you? Don't play with her feelings again!" Atsumu said this time as you quickly stopped the boy before he could reach him

"What do you mean?! I never played with her feelings in the first place!" Osamu argued back this time offended by his twin brothers words

This time Sakusa pulled back Osamu as the twins started to go at it and you held back Atsumu. With the help of both employees each grabbing a twin as well to keep them away from one another.

"That enough! It's not what it looks like! I was drunk and gave it to him when he carried me on his back accidentally!" You explained finally as Atsumu stopped in his spot

"As long as he didn't start it then that's all that matters" Atsumu said before sitting back down and eventually Osamu followed along.

"Your ex boyfriend was really handsome" Hinata said suddenly leaving you all stunned in silence at his sudden remark before everyone broke out in laughter.

"What's so funny?!" Hinata asked confused

"Your timing Hinata" Bokuto let out through the laughs. Deciding it was best to end the night there you four decided to help Osamu and his employees clean up. Osamu and you currently were in charge of the dishes. He washed them while you dried them.

"Why didn't you hide it like I told you to?" You asked him now that you two were alone.

"I forgot too today" he explained before you two went silent again.

"About you and your ex boyfriend earlier" Osamu started to say catching your attention

"Why did you two break up?" He asked you

"He was a good boyfriend but we couldn't go out any further because of our schedules" you answered him as you dried the last plate.

"What about you? Have you dated anyone else?" You asked him curious

"I have dated someone but we just didn't work out in the end" he answered you as you felt your heartache lightly at his words

"Is there anyone you have feelings for now?" You asked him as you turned to him and stared him in the eyes. He did the same as he looked down at you.

Instead of giving you an answer he connected your lips together as you slowly reciprocated the kiss. Your heart raced and you felt butterflies in your stomach. It felt like nothing had ever changed between you both in all the years that passed without seeing one another.

"Are you two done?" Hinata asked suddenly as you jumped back and you both were met with a wide eyed Hinata in the entry way

"I saw nothing" he said before zipping his lips with his hand and walking away making you both laugh at the boys actions.

"I should get back to the others" you said before making your way back the the front of the restaurant that was a cleaned up now. You ignored the butterflies in your stomach.

"Y/n. You're manager has been calling you the last five minutes" Atsumu said as he passed you your phone and you looked at the missed calls.

"Thanks Tsumu" you said before walking further from the group and taking the phone call as you called back your manager.

"Hello manager Kim. I just saw all your calls. What did you want to talk about?" You asked as you held the phone to your ear.

"Y/n! Good news! Do you remember that international film you auditioned for weeks ago?" Manager Kim asked you over the phone

"I do" you said over the phone

"They just called the agency to inform us that you got the offer for the role!" Manager Kim explained as you were left surprised

"Are you serious?!" You asked again over the phone excitedly as your manager confirmed the news again.

"When do I start?" You asked her over the phone

"When we finish the week here in the next two days. They want you out to New York by next week and they want to start filming soon" your manger explained surprising you at how sudden it was

"That soon?" You asked again

"Yes but don't worry we already have more staff getting your bags ready in Tokyo to be flied out with them from there. Can I see you right now? We'll talk about the contract and filming" manager Kim said over the phone.

"Right. I'll be at the apartment soon manager Kim" you said before hanging up. Turning around you saw everyone else including Osamu waiting for you as they heard the important call you were on.

"I'm sorry but I have to go now. I'll see you guys soon again and thank you for the dinner" you said grabbing your bag and coat before making your way to the restaurant door

"See you soon!" They said before you waved one last goodbye and left the restaurant. You were happy as you made your way to your managers apartment.

It was two days later when you were all ready to leave your hotel room and to leave Japan. You weren't able to see the twins since then but you called Atsumu over the phone to check up on him.

"Hey y/n I'm sorry I wasn't able to see you off at the airport today. They added a last minute practice for us" he explained

"Don't worry Tsumu. It was nice seeing you again after so long" you reassured him

"Next time we see each other we'll hang out more. I hope it's soon" he said

"About that Tsumu. It might be a while until next time we see each other" you said over the phone

"Why might it be a while? Aren't you just in Tokyo?" He asked you

"Not at the moment. I'm actually going to New York to film a movie and I'm not sure how long it will take" you explained

"New- New York?! You mean all across the world New York?!" He asked confused over the phone.

"It's a long story but the night we were at Onigiri Miya my manager let me know that they offered me the role" you continued

"What about Samu?" Atsumu asked over the phone

"What about Samu?" You asked

"We aren't together and have nothing to do with each other anymore" you said

"Are you sure about that?" Atsumu asked confusing you

"I saw the way you two were looking at one another at the party and last time we met" Atsumu said

"New York is far and you don't know when you'll be back. I just hope you two don't end up having regrets" Atsumu explained to you as you felt a heavy heart thinking about what he said and your feelings.

"I'm really proud of you. When do you leave for New York?" He asked you changing the subject

"The flight departs at 8pm tonight" you answered him

"Good luck and let's talk soon again" he said before saying goodbye and hanging up as you were left with million thoughts in your head.

Finishing getting your things ready you got your bags ready before leaving with your manager later in the day.

It was six pm when you arrived at the airport with your manager. After saying goodbye to Kaito, Yuna, and Fukuda you left feeling bittersweet with emotions. Happy that you would be taking a bigger role but sad because you were leaving your friends behind. Currently you were sitting in the private waiting room while your manager went to get you both some coffee. Luckily since it was a sudden flight media and fans didn't know about it which led it to be the most normal time at the airport after a long time. The millions of thoughts ran through your head as you tried understanding your feelings that recently showed up.

"Y/n" you suddenly heard

"I must be imagining things about you now" you let out as you looked down

"Y/n" you heard again as you looked up with widened eyes as you saw Osamu in front of you dressed up like a security guard.

"Samu! What are you doing here? How did you get here?!" You asked the boy as you stood up to meet his gaze

"Suna helped me get through" he answered you as you looked at him worried but relieved at the same time. He wrapped you in his arms as you returned the hug feeling safe and at home with him.

"How did you manage to find out I was leaving?" You asked the man

"Tsumu let me know" Osamu answered you

"Why are you here?" You asked this time with worried eyes at what he would answer you

"I already let you go once and I don't want to lose you again. I'm still in love with you" Osamu explained with a small smile before you kissed him taking him off guard as you felt your eyes water at his confession. He kissed you back gently as you both stayed like that for a while before you pulled back first

"I'm still in love with you too Samu" you confessed as you noticed the smile grow on his face

"I'm really sorry for letting go of you back then" he apologized

"Don't worry about it anymore. I understand why you did it" you reassured him before he sat down next to you as you took his hand in yours.

"When will you come back?" Osamu asked you as you both stared at one another.

"I'm not sure yet but the first thing I'm doing when I come back is going to see you" you answered him as he stayed quiet for a moment

"Marry me" he said suddenly taking you off guard as you blinked a couple of times staring at the boy

"Are you insane Samu? We just got back together" you said confused

"We both still love each other after all this time. We lost enough time and I want to make it up" he explained as you blushed at his words

"I would love to marry you Samu" you admitted as you held his hands in yours

"If after I come back you still want to marry me then I'll gladly accept the offer" you explained to him

"It's a deal then let's get married when you come back from New York" he said as he held out his pinky to you. You intertwined your pinky with his as you smiled with red cheeks.

"Deal" you said happily as you looked at him and his happy red face from joy. You and Osamu stayed by each other's side the rest of the wait while you caught up with one another on how you both have been all the time apart from one another.

"The flight from japan to New York at 8pm is about to depart. Everyone taking that flight please start to line up at the entrance.

"Y/n it's time to go" you heard manager Kim say from a far as you stood up and Osamu did the same. Giving him one last kiss and big hug goodbye you reluctantly pulled away from the man in front of you.

"I will call and text you" he said reassuringly

"I'll do the same. I'll miss you" you said before hugging him again as he hugged you tight in return.

"I'll miss you too" he admitted a loud as he hugged you close

"You should get going before it gets late. See you later" he said before you both pulled back and looked at one another one more time taking in each other as if you wanted to keep a picture in your memory.

"See you later Samu" you said before walking away with your manager to board the plane. Turning around once more you waved at the man one last time before boarding the flight.

"What's wrong y/n? Didn't you two just get engaged so why the tears?" Your manager asked as you cried once you both were seated

"We did but we just reunited after years and we'll be separated again for a while" you admitted before the lady hugged you to comfort you

"Don't worry. You'll finishing filming and you'll both be reunited soon again" Manager Kim said giving you a reassuring smile.

Like Manager Kim said you found that time went by quickly as you arrived in New York and started to film your movie. As you and Osamu promised you both called and texted one another each time you could with your busy schedules. It was Christmas when the twins and your family surprised you in New York one night when you finished filming for the day and arrived home to your condo. You hugged everyone tightly as you greeted them relieved to see their faces after such a long time. After dinner with the family you and Osamu found yourself on a walk through the cold night. You both looked at the park that was decorated with bright Christmas lights all around as you enjoyed the scenery. Snow fall caught your attention suddenly as you stopped in your spot and looked up at the night sky. Holding your hand out you looked as the snow fell from the night sky in amazement.

"Pretty" you heard Osamu say as you looked at the beautiful snowy night sky.

"The snows really pretty right Samu?" You asked again

"No" he answered you

"You're really pretty" he said catching you off guard as you turned to look at him. Your eyes widened as you noticed him on one knee as he held a ring out for you.

"Will you marry me?" He asked again before you hugged him tightly.

"I would love to" you answered him overwhelmed with emotions before he placed the ring on your finger. It was cold but you felt warm as You two shared a sweet kiss under the snow.

"Isn't it crazy?" You asked suddenly as you looked at the man in front of you who was confused at your sudden question.

"A few years ago we had our first kiss under The mistletoe when we were fake dating. Now we're engaged" you said feeling happy as the boy smiled at the memories

"Thank you for making me so happy Samu" you let out as you hugged him again

"I should be thanking you for that" he said as he hugged you close.

"Thank you for giving me another chance and being there time after time" he continued

"I'll always be here for you Samu" you reassured him as you hugged him and snuggled into his chest with a smile. The walk home was a happy one and the news of your engagement brought smiles to your families. The rest of the night was spent with celebration at your condo as you celebrated with your families.

A year passed as you finished filming in New York after a long process. As you both promised you and Osamu got married in a wedding that took most people off guard. It wasn't even four months since you returned to Japan when you held a private wedding ceremony and celebration with close friends and family in your hometown.

"There were rumors that actress park got engaged while filming in New York. Many believed it was someone she met in the states" the news reporter said

"But to all of our surprise it wasn't. Not even four months since her return to Japan she ended up getting married in a private wedding ceremony with Miya Osamu the owner of a famous restaurant Onigiri Miya which has been gaining much attention over the past few years" the male reporter said

"Get this. He's the twin brother of famous volleyball setter Miya Atsumu. The twins were known as the famous Miya twins in the volleyball scene in highschool. Many people have claimed that the three have been childhood friends and that's how they knew each other" the male reporter continued

"Who knew while everyone was making assumptions that the setter and actress were together it was actually the other way around. The family is indeed full of talented people. An actress, a chef, and a volleyball setter" the female reporter said this time

"I never made the assumption actress park and setter Miya were together. I remember years ago there was news of actress park and Miya Osamu dating" the male reporter said

"It looks like after all these years they found each other once again. Let's congratulate the beautiful couple on their marriage once again" the male reporter said as the female reporter followed his lead.

"After confirming her wedding ceremony actress park and her agency also took the time to share the news of her retirement from the acting world" the female reporter said this time as you looked away from the tv and turned to Osamu with a smile as you both sat together holding hands at one of the tables in his restaurant. After everything you thought it was best to retire from acting as you were now married and wanted to try new things. Maybe you would return to the acting world one day but as of right now you wanted to try new things.

"Ready for this new chapter Samu?" You asked him with a smile

"I'm ready for anything as long as I'm with you" he reassured you as he gave your hand a light squeeze and gave you a warm smile.

Not many words needed to be shared with each other aloud as your eyes shared everything that needed to be known. You two together is all you needed.

6 - Bryan's New Girl

Everything Changed At 21

Part 7

Tag list @bvbwestfall @abaker74

Someone started shaking me awake from my peaceful sleep in this soft bed. I grumbled rolling over and squinting one eye open seeing Chloe sitting up in the bed phone in hand opened to something. "Chlo...what's going on. It's...8 in the morning." I looked at the clock on the nightstand still feeling tired from the concert last night. Luke's manager took us all out for drinks afterwards with Luke insisting on paying the bill. Chloe flashed her phone screen in my face where I gasped in horror at an article about Luke. A picture of us kissing is underneath the title in caps. "Not Long After Divorce Bryan Has A New Girl." Throwing the phone back at her I flopped over burying my face in the pillows groaning at the sight. I didn't think the media would get their hands on that picture that quick. The guy on lights last night should have cut them off immediately before anyone had the chance to snap a picture. Or better yet I should have not kissed him back. But then the headline would be saying Luke got rejected and I'd look like a monster then.

"What am I gonna do now Chloe. I'm not prepared or comfortable being in the spotlight...not yet anyway." I grumbled holding a pillow over my face. She laid down pulling it down from my eyes giving me a weak look. "Does Luke know that Y/n?" Rolling over to face her I smack my hands against the pillows. "We haven't even had our first official date yet. Cause we're not counting the night at the cabin at official date!" Flopping over I opened my lock screen and felt my face heat up at the picture of us kissing quickly turning the screen off. Chloe grabbed my shoulder turning me back over so I'd look at her. "Go talk to him. He's literally on the other side of the wall." Slumping my shoulders I climbed out of the bed not caring really that I'm wearing an old shirt from college and some gym shorts. Not even really brushed my hair either. Opening the door I walk over knocking three times until I got an answer. "Luke, we need to talk. It's Y/n, Luke!" The door opened and I covered my eyes seeing him only wearing shorts but no shirt. He quickly closed the door opening it again wearing a random grey tea shirt seeing my face is burning red. "Sorry about that. What do we need to talk about?" He asked letting me inside his room while I scrolled through my phone finding the article Chloe showed me.

He slumped down on the bed reading the article I'd say like twice before actually looking me in the eye. Running my fingers through my hair I just paced back in forth in front of him. I don't regret that he kissed me last night. I just didn't think it would happen this fast. "Y/n, I'm sorry about kissing you the other night. I just was in the moment and so I thought-" I cut him off throwing my hands up shaking my head at him. "You don't have anything to apologize for Luke. You were my first kiss and I love that. It's just that.. " I trailed off feeling embarrassed so I looked at my bare feet instead. He gets to his feet tilting my chin up with his thumb so I'd look him in the eye. He has worry clearly in his eyes. "You can tell me anything. I won't judge you for it. You know that right?" Nodding my head I play with the end of my shirt that he remembered I did when I was nervous. Slowly releasing a breath I finally met his gaze. "I'm a shy person, Luke. I've never been comfortable in the spotlight like you are especially on stage. You're an amazing guy from what I've seen the last couple of days so I don't want to mess things up...by saying that I wished I never kissed you just so it wouldn't end up in the paparazzis hands the very next morning. I-"

He cuts me short holding my face in his hands pressing his lips onto mine slowly. Wrapping my arms around his neck I kissed back until he broke the kiss resting his forehead against mine. "I'll talk to my manager tomorrow. To see if he can get it taken down. If you're not ready I get that. Not everybody instantly loves the spotlight like me. Just tell me what you want and I'll do my best to make you happy." He smiled before I leaned up on my toes kissing him for the first time ever. He wrapped his arms around my waist pulling me closer to him smiling into the kiss. I broke it needing air yet I barely had time when he picked me up throwing me on the bed. Jumping in right beside me smiling still. Rolling over onto my side to face him I leaned over kissing him again and he kisses back running a hand through my hair until his phone went off making us both groan. "I swear that better not be Chloe wanting to know what happened." I mumbled when he sat up answering his cellphone getting mad for only being on the phone for a short time.

"Caroline no - look it's your weekend with the boys I can't just - I'm in Vegas you can't drop them off.." He hung up the phone running his hands through his hair falling back onto the bed. I shifted so I'm sitting up against the pillows waiting a few minutes before daring to ask the question. "What was that all about?" He flipped over resting his chin in the palm of his hand eyeing me. "My ex wife Caroline. She decided that the boys should go see my new girl. So she's bringing them here on a plane then flying back home." He didn't seem happy about the situation but I don't want to pry into his past. I knew he had a wife and kids but it's going to be really awkward when I have to meet them all the sudden. Luke sits up moving hair from my eyes sighing heavily. "I know we're not doing things in the traditional way but would you be okay meeting my kids?" He asked with a weak smile hoping I'd agree. Intertwining his hand with mine I smile hearing someone banging on the door outside. "Come on lovebirds it's time for breakfast!" Chloe hollered on the other side causing me and Luke to start cracking up in laughter of what we were about to tell her this morning.

Studio Thoughts 2024MAR01

I've been thinking a lot since first finding out about the MidJourney deal Tumblr is taking. I've been wanting to make this post for just as long. (This sounds ominous, but it's not.) (Cut for a giant wall of text. Massive rambling.)

I don't know what to do. I've made an infinite number of new accounts across all the different social media I can find. I had to make a sheet to keep track of all the different websites I've joined. The thought of trying to post and maintain 20 accounts minimum to cover myself depending on where people flee to is overwhelming. I'm already averse to updating the accounts I have now. It takes too damn long as it is. (I need to set up PostyBird for the love of god. It doesn't work on a lot of mainstream sites, though.)

I want to share my art, but I don't want that to mean that I'm giving up my rights to it so some fuck can shove it into his dataset to create images and act like they're superior to something made by a real human and the human experience. I've opted out of the 3rd-party sharing option that they gave us, but I know that doesn't mean anything without proof. If they were giving data over that they shouldn't have from private conversations and password-locked blogs, they're not going to give a shit if someone toggled a setting. The whole issue with these datasets is the lack of consent to begin with, so why would they stop Now. I don't even know why they plan to pay Tumblr for the data in the first place because how much of it has already been scraped before they decided to tie it up in a bow for them?

I hate that people just parrot "Nightshade and Glaze!!" as if they're not open-source software that the tech bros can reverse engineer with the available coding. (As well as being easy to remove/get around in the first place.) Not to mention the stupid amount of processing power to use them, if they even work on the type of art you're putting into it in the first place. Even if they worked for your art, they're not accessible to everyone. That's not fair to artists who don't have or can't afford the highest-end PC parts. And even if they Worked to prevent AI it would only be a matter of time before they Didn't, like the constant fight UBlock is having with blocking YouTube's new coding to prevent ad blockers.

I'm just tired. I'm tired of feeling that the modern internet hellscape is just not meant for artists because the algorithms expect you to post as much as possible in order to get seen. I'm tired of artists finding a place to settle only to feel the need to move again and again because they just want their work and themselves to be respected. I miss old DeviantART when it was still a giant hub and community for artists instead of the shell it is today. I still see a lot of people still posting when I check in every now and then.

I don't know what the answer is, because I know data scraping for generative models isn't going away. I can only hope that it cannibalizes itself into hot garbage by taking in generated images that weren't tagged as AI. I would love it if all the wild shit people post on here could make the dataset completely unusable.

At the moment it looks like the only thing I can do is continue to watermark my art heavily and post low-quality versions. I've never had a large enough following to worry about art theft, but I can't control an all-consuming bot scraping everything.

I've been toying with the idea of making my own website and it's seeming more and more appealing. I've seen that you can make your own Patreon-adjacent subscription setup and have a pay-to-access feature. I don't know if that could help prevent scraping or if there are methods to get around that, too. Can bots scrape Patreon itself?

I'll need to update my LinkTree with all the other hundreds of sites that I'm on I guess. I was hoping that this long-ass post would help me come to some sort of conclusion or peace. I think I just gave myself more work to do. I also feel bad that my only other text post here is so hopeful, only to be slapped down immediately in this one.

TLDR: I'm gonna keep posting but like, I'm Not Gonna Like It. MidJourney Sucks. Tech Bros Suck. Ya'll can eat my entire ass.

Hi Jelly! I love your work and I hope you're doing well rn ❤️

Can I request a fic where the reader kind of friendzones Levi for quite a while now.. Sounds pretty stupid, but you can ignore this request if you want. Hehe, Take care always ❤️

Hi! Thank you so much <3 I love writing a lot and I always worry it's not good, but I'm glad people really like what I'm doing so far. <3

Happy to do your request. I've dabbled with this in past requests and even did a story involving the friendzone situation and the reader just seeing Levi finally. It's rather cute. I'm guessing you want it to be friends to lovers? I'm a sucker for happy endings because Levi deserves a good ending. If friends to lovers was not what you wanted, do let me know and I'll write another one, but it will low key make my heart cry a little hahaha :D

You are worth waiting for.

Pairing: Levi x reader

Genre and tags: friends to lovers, friendzone to lovezone, Levi's always loved you, modern AU, time jumps, long-life friends, love confessions, happy ending.

Concept: You and Levi have been friends since you were in school together. Levi was always the rebel and you were the nice girl always seen as the side character to most. Levi was always popular because he was a bad boy and smart, but he never seemed to have a girlfriend and often was around you. As you both grow up, you stay in touch and share your life together. You lose contact for a bit after a small fight with Levi involving feelings, but you don't understand why he's so upset and why. As the years go by while he's gone, you realise how he felt and how you felt. You accept that you might never see him again. While trying to live life, you get invited to a concert and find Levi is the lead singer and as he sings, it's clear how much he truly loved you all this time.

Levi leaned against the wall as he sighed and his heart weighed heavy in his heart. He closed his eyes for a moment and couldn't get the most beautiful smile and laugh out of his head. Levi felt his heart swelling with love, at the same time breaking badly. He opened his eyes and saw you walking closer as you chatted to your friend on your way to school. He knew his love was young and he was close to being eighteen, but his heart wanted you so badly. He hoped that as he grew older, he would become a better man.

Levi had met you a year ago when you moved to this school due to your dad's job. Levi was transfixed by you at first and wasn't sure why, but he just knew he had to keep you close no matter what. He would help you out at school, stop bullies, stop people from using you, help you study or with any work you were doing. He was there for you, always.

He hurt inside at not being with you, but the moments he spent with you were worth it all. Seeing you smiling for him and only him settled his heart. He let out a long love-filled sigh when you noticed him. You smiled in that adorable way, then ran over to him. You were just an angel to him with your bright eyes, soft voice and strength. You hugged his arm filling him up with warmth.

He walked with you as you clung to him. He listened to you talk about your homework, about your weekend and how your boyfriend was being an ass. He wished so desperately that he was your boyfriend because he would treat you so much better than who you were with. However, he never said a thing to you about how he felt because he couldn't bear to lose you.

You had lunch with him and laughed as you joked with Hange over something small, but Levi didn't hear a word Hange was saying because he only ever heard your voice. When you were back in class, you sat next to him and pulled so many cute faces as you focused and tried to understand what the hell was going on. You'd make Levi's heart skip a beat when you'd look over at him, then pull a face to make him smile.

He'd come over to your place most days and weekends and was welcomed with open arms by your parents. Levi felt part of the family but started to hate going over because of how your parents looked at him when you weren't looking. Your mother started with the sad and apologetic looks first, then it was your dad's pats on the shoulder and squeeze of support. He felt like he was drowning.

He would lie with you on the roof of your house and look up at the stars. You'd ask Levi what the stars meant and he'd spent countless study sessions finding out for you just so he could see your face light up in delight at what he knew and the countless stories linked to the wonderful stars above. Your hugs were so warm at first, but then they started to feel like stabs to his heart.

When you graduated, you all promised to stay in touch. You moved away to continue your studies, but Levi made sure he was always there for you. He didn't want to say it, but when you and your boyfriend broke up and he held you as you cried, he was happy. He thought it was his chance soon, but then your studies increased and you could barely see him, so he had to wait again.

Then the worst day of your lives came.

Levi didn't turn up to your graduation because he was hurting inside the longer he was around you. He expected to never see you again, but you turned up at the studio where he was talking to Erwin, Hange and Mike about starting a band together. You looked so different to him. You looked sad and sick, which he was not used to. He wanted to hold you, but he knew that would only hurt him more.

You clenched and unclenched your jaw as tears filled your eyes. "Why weren't you there? I looked for you, but you weren't there."

Levi moved boxes about the studio. "Because I decided not to come."

"Why?"

He sighed. "It was my choice and I chose not to come."

You hugged yourself. "What happened? Was it something I did or said?" You watched him as he moved about not saying a word and kept his back to you. "What did I do? I want to fix this. I can't lose you."

"Tch, you mean you can't lose your emotional blanket."

You frowned a little. "My what?"

He held back tears. "It's all I ever was to you. I was this doormat."

You shook your head and followed him. "You're not! You're so much more to me and I never used you. I care about you."

He slammed the box down. "You never gave a shit about me. For years I've had to listen to you talk about this guy and that guy. I did so much for you, but I was just this thing you dragged along in your little wonderland."

You felt the tears run down your cheeks. "What are you saying? What does this mean?"

He barely got his words out. "I'm done."

You felt a cold chill run through you. "Done? Done with what?"

He turned to you. "With us! With you! I'm done! I can't do this anymore. I can't play this game."

You shook your head as a lump grew in your throat. "What game? I don't understand what's happening."

"After all these years, you never once saw me. You never once really looked at me." He looked at you pained. "What the hell am I to you?"

You panted as your eyesight became blurred. "Levi."

"Enough." He pushed you out the door. "I don't want to hear it. I don't think I can. Goodbye."

"Wait." You gasped when he closed the door in your face. "Levi! Levi wait! I don't understand! What do you mean!?"

Levi dropped to his knees and covered his ears to block out your pleas. He couldn't believe how you never saw after all these years, but then again he had never told you how he felt. He had never confessed to you. He had never told you that he loved you. You never knew someone liked you until they said it because you didn't think you were lovable.

You backed up from the door as your body shook. You turned and hurried through the streets as you started to have a panic attack. You were confused, hurt and alone. You went into your apartment, then looked through everything from your life with Levi. You saw the pictures of you and him together, or with your friends. You rubbed your tears, then looked at his face and saw that the whole time he'd been looking at you. Every single picture, you were all he stared at. All the lack of girlfriends made sense now. Levi never wanted anyone because he was always with you.

You felt your heart slowly breaking when you realised that you'd been hurting Levi all this time. You screamed and cried as the guilt crept in. You never knew because you never opened your eyes. You never looked his way and closed your heart off to everyone because you didn't think it deserved love. You felt like a monster, a monster that needed to be gone.

You packed your things up, then wrote a letter and sent it to Hange because you knew she'd understand. You moved back in with your parents, sold your place and quit your job. You searched for a new job, got one, moved into a brand new place and lost all contact with Levi and the others. Your mother told you about the letters that arrived from Hange asking about you, or how Levi wasn't well either, but you didn't get involved because you felt like you'd just make things worse for him by being in his life.

The years went by, but they were cold and empty. You didn't move on with love and stayed away from everyone. Your social circle became tiny as you punished yourself for never seeing Levi, for never facing his feelings and giving him a yes or no. If he asked you all those years ago, you would have said yes to being with him. You would have loved him with everything inside you. You thought you'd never see him or the others again, but your mother turned up at your apartment with a concert ticket and a plea for you to go because that letter from whoever sent them wanted you to be there.

Levi had searched for you but never found you so your parents were his only way of finding out about you. He needed to see you and talk to you. He wanted to say sorry, he wanted to tell you he loved you, he wanted to make up for all the years you both danced around each other. He wanted one more chance. So, he had sent your mother a concert ticket for you and a letter pleading with her to get you to go. His band was really famous and his love songs were all dedicated to you. He'd hoped they'd reached you, but they didn't. So, this concert was his shot.

He wore a nice outfit, then made sure he was ready to sing his heart out on stage. He wanted to confess to a whole room of people his love for you. After all these years, he still loved you deeply. He followed his friends onto the stage and looked out at the small concert hall, as this was a special one. Levi had played at massive concerts across the world, but he needed to see you at a small and close one.

As Levi sang to his friends playing music, he searched the crowd for you but couldn't see you anywhere. He reached his song about his years of friendship with you being love and his longing to be yours. He cried as he sang thinking you'd never hear, but as he looked down at the crowd you were stood there looking unwell, tired and sad. You had tears in your eyes as you watched him and his friends. He locked eyes with you as he sang the last part about his pure love.

You smiled as you cried at his beautiful words. All your life you never saw him, but now you were really looking at him and your heart was hurting. At that moment, you knew what pain Levi had gone through for so many years. When his song came to an end, you felt the shame and guilt wash over you.

You felt your breath was leaving you. You quickly wiped your tears and backed up into the crowd and saw a panicked and sad look in Levi'd eyes. You didn't feel like you had the right to be here watching him. You felt like everyone in that room was judging you for being an oblivious idiot. You kept backing up, then you turned around and moved through the crowd and went as fast as you could.

You felt out of the crowd and slammed against the floor. You lay there a moment and felt pathetic. You winced when people kicked and stepped on you, but you didn't shout or fight them. You let it happen. You heard the music stop abruptly, then the crowd whispering. You sat up when people moved away, then you sniffed back your tears.

You flinched when you felt a hand on your upper arm. You pulled your arm away, but they grabbed your upper arm again but tighter. "Don't help me. I don't deserve it."

"Says who?" You turned your head and looked at a sad Levi. He squeezed your arm. "You deserve the world." He said your name and smiled a little. "Come on, let me help you."

You stumbled to your feet and kept your head low. You slipped your arm from his grip and hugged your arm to yourself. "I don't want you to think I'm using you again. I'm okay. I've been okay."

"You're not okay." Levi grabbed your hand, then pulled you through the crowd and ignored your protests.

You stumbled through the crowd as Levi pulled you past strong stares. "I'm sorry Levi. I'll do anything you ask of me, please."

Levi grabbed his mic. "Intermission." He led you into the back and into his dressing room.

You tripped over into his room, then turned to him. "Levi, I'm sorry. I know now, I know. After we fought, I went back and looked at old photos and saw how you looked at me. I didn't know, I swear I didn't know you felt that way about me. I was a stupid idiot and I hurt you by not giving you an answer. I left town and moved away. I just make things so much worse for everyone. I closed myself off from everyone so I wouldn't do this to someone else." You smiled at Levi sadly. "And just look at you! I was dragging you down and now you've flown free. I'm so proud of you." You started crying. "I'm so proud."

Levi walked up to you, then cupped your face and kissed you. "I love you."

You shivered in his hands. "Please Levi."

He kissed you and said your name. "I love you."

You cried. "Levi."

He kissed you for longer. "I've always loved you and I still love you."

You sniffed. "Why? Why would you? I was an idiot."

"You weren't. I never told you how I felt, I never once told you and I just expected you to know." He smiled at you. "You're not a mind reader and nor am I. You didn't know because I didn't tell you. My anger in our fight confused you because even then I never said those three words." He sighed and tapped his forehead against yours. "I love you."

"Why me? I'm not that pretty, I'm not smart, I'm oblivious to people's feelings, I'm silly, I'm clumsy."

He smiled more. "I love you for everything you are and more. You're sweet, funny, kind, caring, honest, gentle, beautiful and stunning. You take my breath away. You bring me and my heart peace. I'll forever love you."

You laughed a little, then smiled at him. "I never knew it, but when I saw how you felt it clicked in me. All this time, I've loved you just as much back, I just didn't realise it. I love you, Levi Ackerman. I love you so much. I don't deserve you, I really don't."

He kissed you, then hummed and smiled when you kissed him back. He pulled you against him and moaned as you tangled your fingers in his hair as you both deepened the kiss to something more passionate. All the waiting, all the longing, all the hope was worth it. It was all worth it in this moment. In this kiss, you both knew that you were meant to be together. You both felt weightless and at peace.

Levi pulled back, then lightly kissed you as he couldn't stop smiling. "You are worth the wait."

You giggled at him. "No, you were."

"You're mine now brat, mine. I'm never ever letting you go."

You hummed a laugh and hugged him. "Good, because I won't either."

Yo, I cried a little writing this because it hit so close to home. I didn't intend for me to get emotional, but damn. At least the reader got a happy ending. Love to you all and know you're worth everything <3

Summary: The unexpected guests at your cottage have a mysterious past and hidden agenda. Will they allow you to accompany them on their journey?

Travelers are advised not to spend the night in the Dark Woods. It's said that beyond the last hiking trail, past a brook, lives an Evil Witch. That witch is vile and merciless; often, fools lost in the woods are never seen again. It's said that she must be over 800 years old, feeding off of the essences of children and young men unfortunate enough to cross her paths. It’s said that she even eats fellow witches. No one really knows. After all, no one who has seen her has lived to tell the tale.

It's been a few months since your teacher has left you to fend for yourself here in the woods—your first time alone during this apprenticeship. She said she had to attend a big conference with a whole bunch of other grand witches. You asked if you could tag along, but she insisted that you stay and watch the cottage. The lack of company is about to drive you insane so you often resort to conversing with yourself or the forest itself.

The soft moss muffles the sound of your footsteps as you begin the trek back home, a faint off-trail path away from the main road that no one else would usually notice. On any other day, you would just go home without a fuss, but loneliness makes people do some bizarre and odd things. For instance, the desperate longing for companionship leads to you dropping a not-so-hidden trail of fancy pebbles to inadvertently lead someone to your abode.

For most travelers, going off-trail is akin to a death sentence as any wrong turn might lure them into the forest's deadly maze. Not for you though, you know this place very well: every fallen tree, overturned log, the wanted signs nailed to the trunk...

Wait. A wanted sign?

You can make out from your distance that there are two heads on it, but the details are fuzzy, and the bounty looks smudged. Before you can get a closer look, you hear the birds caw in the trees, signaling the beginning of sunset. You pull your attention away from the poster and continue on to your way home.

The cottage is extremely cozy and warm. The windows are bejeweled and the door is solid wood. You live here comfortably with your teacher, after all, learning about the principles of magic and what it means to be a witch. It's much more than curses and spells, as your teacher would tell you, witches have character and a moral compass. Although there are certainly those who decide to experiment with the darker arts.

While you get a fire going in the huge furnace and boil some water on the stovetop, you hear two voices squabbling outside followed by three raps on the door. You're stunned by the noise, turning to face the shut door wondering if you were just dreaming about the noise. Is it? Visitors? No, you must have heard wrong.

"'Samu, I bet it's a farce, let's not." The voice sounds both tired and weary, almost out of breath.

"Let me just try again, I can smell a working kitchen in there, someone is definitely there," another voice insists. Three more knocking sounds. "Excuse me! Is the owner of the house available? My brother and I followed a path of colored stone and came upon your establishment...could you spare us some water? A bite of food?"

Two men, though they sound friendly. You're frozen in the kitchen, staring at the door that remains between you and the strangers.

"Is there someone home?" The second voice tries again. "Please, my brother is not feeling very well."

Your initial wariness for the stranger melts when you hear about the brother, which does not sound like a lie based on the raspy voice you first hear. A witch's character is fundamentally kind to all sentient beings, especially those in need. But you're still nervous, so you end up grabbing a metal ladle before carefully going to open the door. When you crack the door open, you see a pair of twins. Beautiful men, one blonde and one grey-haired. The former, with a quirky grin, although his eyes certainly look lackluster. But the other seems like he's at the right place, eyes peering past you into your home, fixated on your kitchen.

"I'm Osamu. And this," he gestures to his twin, "is my brother Atsumu. We're a bit lost, you see."

You nod your head in a casual greeting and introduce yourself as the resident apprentice at this cottage. As a good host should, you open the door to the weary guests preparing to welcome them in.

"Are we welcomed in?" Osamu asks, not moving from his spot. Atsumu isn’t budging either, arms crossed and only looking at you from the corner of his eye, waiting for your answer.

Without giving much thought you nod and open the door wider. "Both of you are most welcomed in."

"Then we thank you for your hospitality," Osamu says, taking a step inside, dragging his twin with him.

Words, especially spoken words carry power and hold intent. And a witch's words, no matter how careless they slip out, contain magic. Welcome, as you say. So welcome, they are.

You shut the door behind them and prepare to go give your first-ever guests some water. When you turn around, you notice Osamu already in the kitchen, the sleeves of his tunic rolled up past his elbows.

"Your food is about to burn. Heat's too high," he tells you, expertly taking control of the sizzling pots and pans. "I got it, don't worry."

Feeling flustered at the faint smell of scorching food, you hurry over to see if you can be of any assistance. "Let me help out."

"No, it's quite alright."

How can a host let her guests do all the work like that? And the first company in a while too! What an utter failure.

"How—" you try to argue back, but you're cut off by Atsumu tugging on your wrist, dragging you over to the sofa in the corner.

"Don't worry about him, he loves to cook." Atsumu brushes out the wisps of his bangs with a huff. "And actually quite good at it. Anything that goes through his hands...well, in short, all become part of his design."

Like his twin, Atsumu's frame is broad and huge, but there is a quality of emptiness of sorts. Osamu's shoulders are wide but there's more substance to it, whereas Atsumu's form seems contained. You can't help but use your learnings to see if you can figure out just what's off about Atsumu. He's slowly walking around the living room and studying the portraits hanging on the wall. He picks up a frame that is set above the fireplace and comments, "None of these are you. How come?"

"Oh, they're my teacher. I'm just a witch-in-training at the moment, so—"

"A witch?" Atsumu questions, clenching the frame tightly. His hands begin to shake, the glass under his thumb beginning to crack.

You did not expect Atsumu to display such a visceral reaction upon the mention of witches. After all, witches normally stayed far away from ordinary human society and when they do mix, it's often a role of healing. But the look that sparks in Atsumu's eyes, it's almost—feral.

"'Tsumu!" Osamu yells while stalking over quickly from the kitchen. He throws his arm around Atsumu's neck and drags him off into the shadows. You can't make out the muffled voices and deep growling noises that are coming from down the hall.

It's their private matter, so you go back to the kitchen. True enough, Osamu's hands are almost like magic. The bubbling pot of broth doesn't seem to be on the verge of overflowing, the onions caramelizing beautifully, filling the air with deliciousness.

Moments later, the twins come back. You notice that Osamu clothes are wrinkled from tugging Atsumu around, but at the very least, Atsumu is looking much better than before.

The three of you set the table for dinner. Osamu brings out the plates as though he knows the kitchen inside and out already. Atsumu comes emerging from the cellar with two bottles of fine wine that you didn't even know your teacher had stowed away. Surely, she wouldn't mind? With Osamu and Atsumu sitting to the left and right of you at the round table, it almost feels like a more familiar, cozier gathering between friends than a situation of a host and her guests.

They tell you that they have been traveling across the lands for a long time now, looking for a cure for Atsumu's illness. It reminds you of the hollow, repressed form you saw earlier and your curiosity gets the better of you. They don't tell you the nature of the malady, but what they do share is that they are looking for a witch to undo the curse on Atsumu, a result of dark witchcraft.

"I am a witch!" you exclaim, feeling your call to action at the moment. "Please, is there truly nothing for me to help to undo the spell?"

Osamu leans in close to you, and wipes a bit of sauce staining the corner of your lips with the pad of his thumb. He smiles. "We're looking for a very high-level witch. One day, maybe you'll get to the level of magic needed."

"You're too weak," Atsumu bluntly points out. You're sure Osamu means to say the same thing, but Atsumu's words are really sharp.

"I know," you sigh. "My teacher tells me that all the time. So, I'm really trying. I'm sure there's at least something I can do."

"I definitely think that. Don't be so hard on yourself," Osamu comforts. "Have you been living alone here for a long time?"

You feel two pairs of eyes glued onto you waiting for your answer. You smile reflexively before your eyes trail to the empty plate and carefully choose your words. "Yea. Just me and my teacher. She's a grand witch...maybe if you wait here for a few days, you can meet her when she comes back from her conference."

"We—"

"We'll be gone tomorrow!" Atsumu snaps, staring into Osamu's eyes.

Osamu doesn't pay any mind to Atsumu, and puts an extra piece of dessert onto your plate.

"We have a long way to go. Atsumu's condition isn't getting better, so we can't stop in one place for long."

It makes you a little sad, because you were hoping to spend some more time with the twins, both of whom you have grown fond of. Osamu and his gentleness. And even Atsumu, despite his quick remarks and outbursts, adds a particular spice to your mundane life.

"Maybe we'll bring you with us," Osamu comments lightly, "'Tsumu, wouldn't that be nice?"

"She'll just be dead weight," Atsumu retorts. You wonder if he absolutely hates you. Is that why he is always so against you being next to Osamu?

Osamu puts an arm around you and blows on the shell of your ear. It tickles and you can feel his body enveloping you. "But she's so sweet," he tells Atsumu and whispers into your ear, "Aren't you?"

You find your wandering gaze looking into his half-lidded grey eyes. His face is right next to you, lips just hovering barely five centimeters away. The overwhelming presence of him is undeniably alluring. Your breaths become shallow as your heart rate speeds up with desire.

"I'm exhausted! 'Samu you too. We're going to bed!" Atsumu drops the silverware onto his plate and stands up. He comes around the table, muttering curses under his breath. Atsumu grabs Osamu by the wrist and drags him off towards the guest bedroom you have shown them before.

You didn't quite catch Atsumu's angry mutters, but you hear "slut" and "harlot" thrown around a few times. Were they directed at you? No, you're not like that, you tell yourself. Atsumu must have been thinking that you are trying to seduce his twin. After you clear out the table, you decide to clear up any misunderstanding.

You tip-toe down the hall to the guest bedroom prepared to knock when you hear muffled sounds coming from inside. You carefully press your ears to the crevice of the door and clamp a hand around your mouth upon hearing the stream of moans.

"'Samu, 'Samu please, ah—"

That's Atsumu? Your eyes are wide and still trying to process the shock of what you're hearing. You tell yourself you shouldn't be here. You should not be listening to whatever is happening behind the closed door, but you can't help it. Hearing Atsumu's moans makes you want to squirm.

You slightly jump when you hear a slap, followed with a pleasured groan. The sound is so clean it feels as though the phantom hands are touching your own heated skin.

Osamu's chuckle nearly makes your knees weak.

"Don't get cocky, if it were any other day ngh—, any other day, I would be the one pushing you into the mattress."

Slap. "Shut up, cute 'Tsumu. I like you being so needy for me like this. What do you want from me? Tell me."

"Fuck me, 'Samu."

"With pleasure."

The wood creaks loudly and you tell yourself, you really need to get out as you back away and try to quickly walk down the hall back to your bedroom.

You throw the door open and lock the door behind you with a click. With your eyes closed, you try to steady your breath and the building heat in your core. It's quiet. There's no noise coming from their room. But they are twins!

You remind yourself that a witch is all-accepting and kind. There are so many circumstances beyond your understanding, judgement is not a part of your nature. And if what they are performing is wrong, what should you say about yourself? You peel off your clothes and step out of the soaked panty that is proof of your lust.

Pillows are fluffed and covers are pulled over your body. You try to sleep, but each time you are about to drift, Atsumu's cries of pleasure come back into your head. Your hand trails down your navel until the fingertips trace over your clit. Gathering some slick from your cunt, you drag it across the sensitive bud.

You shudder from the touch as images, constructed in your fantasy, cloud your mind. You imagine Atsumu's hands spreading your legs apart and Osamu's teasing words next to your ear. He would tell you to open wide and shove his cock down your throat. You suck on three of your fingers until lips wrap over the knuckles, your saliva pooling from hunger. And slip your fingers into your cunt easily, curling them against the plush walls.

"F-fuck me," you moan into your pillow.

With pleasure.

You quiver, clit pulsating, and your pussy juice dripping into your palm. The wash from the high soon takes you into sleep. All throughout the night, you squirm and feel the phantom sensation of being watched. Not just observed, but studied, by two pairs of glinting hungry eyes. You can almost imagine them on either side of the bed, trapping you into the mattress no matter which way you turn.

A few times the weird feelings almost pull you awake, but you don't dare crack an eye open to confirm your suspicions until the morning light begins to filter through the windows, rousing you from sleep. The air is filled with fragrant herbs and the sizzle of delicious brunch from someone awake before you.

No doubt, it's Osamu, because who else can it be? Atsumu? Please. The twins....

You climb out of bed and stretch your neck on the way to the washroom. Your bedroom door is open, but it's too early to notice that detail.

"Morning!" Osamu greets you from the kitchen. You find a fresh mug of coffee shoved into your hands from him.

You mumble thanks and sip at the brew while watching Osamu fry the eggs. Osamu looks to be deep in thought, probably thinking about something pleasant from the faint smile ghosting on his face. You feel a pang of guilt from both listening to their private lives, and also the strange feelings that maybe they heard your private life too—it's all your paranoia talking.

"You're so talented," you blurt out, fisting the fabric of your long skirt.

"Thanks, but better not let 'Tsumu hear ya, he gets jealous super easily."

Even if Atsumu hears, it's fine. You really mean both of them. Both of the twins both seem super talented as a duo; like they've been out there and seen the world. Meanwhile, you're still stuck here, without company. Would it be possible...if they simply stayed?

Osamu senses the words that are stuck in your mouth and answers them for you. "We're gonna be leaving right after breakfast. There's still lots of ground to cover today," he explains, plating the pancake before preparing to ladle a spoonful of batter for the next one.

"Do you have to leave?" you ask, almost pleading.

"It's cozy here and comfortable. We enjoy your company too, but we have to go. Your teacher would hate us, immensely, and on top of that...let's just say, we're always on the run."

"You say it like you two are fugitives or something."

Osamu chuckles and leans closer to you, hot breath flaming your cheeks, or maybe it's just the heat from the stove. A teasing grin pulls his cheeks up slightly as your eyes flicker over to see his lips spell out, "Maybe. Scared?"

Embarrassed, you take a defensive step back, squeaking and bumping into another body.

"MORNING!" Atsumu announces behind you. He's in good spirits and he has his hands on your waist to steady you; he sniffs your hair and smiles before letting you go. "I smell something delicious."

"Breakfast is ready," Osamu says, plating the pancakes. "Hungry 'Tsumu?"

"Tch." Atsumu shoves past you and knees Osamu, mood doing a complete 180. You're almost left like a fly on the wall as you watch the scene unfold.

Osamu is quick to catch his balance while keeping watch on the stove. "Not awake yet?" Osamu grins and passes him a plate of pancakes, essentially telling him to shut up and eat. "Who shoved a stick up your ass? Go eat."

"Fuck you."

"Hm."

Atsumu grumbles but digs into his food anyway. Osamu catches your amused expression in the corner and explains, "It's always like that between us. It's our...way of showing how much we care."

"I know." It's sort of endearing, the banter between the two brothers. Even if the world turns against them, no matter what the odds are, at least Miya Osamu will have Miya Atsumu, and Atsumu will have Osamu. Perhaps it's exactly that sort of bond the two share that you're envious of. Body and soul. Because if only you could have just an ounce of that sort of familiarity with another. But you're just an outsider without an invitation to join in.

While you're mulling over your thoughts, you don't catch the darkening gazes being exchanged between the twins. At some point, Atsmu's plate is already emptied and the wooden table is cleared while you're still lost in your mind. Osamu is fiddling with the metal tea strainer, bobbing it up and down to brew a mug of tea. He threads a cotton string in and out like it's a plaything.

"Do you really want to be with us?" Osamu asks nonchalantly. "'Tsumu and I were talking about it. If you do, maybe we can work something out."

"I just..." You feel like this is your final chance to tell them that you don't want them to go. None of the going around circle hinting that you have been doing. This is the moment to just tell it to them. If you miss this chance, you feel like you won't have another. And even though a pit pulls at your inwards telling you to reconsider, you're brave. "I just want to be together with you all, and help you cure Atsumu. My teacher is so talented, I'm sure she'll have a remedy."

They grin.

Osamu is a great cook, he can do that. Atsumu sometimes seems lazy, but he's super strong and quick to help too. And you can pick up all sorts of other tasks in the area! Maybe because they're so helpful, your teacher will even let them stay once Atsumu is cured. Maybe they can learn magic too! You have heard of warlocks who are powerful with spells too. And you can already imagine, the three of you, like a team, eventually going out into the world to fight demons and monsters and—

"Open wide," a sultry voice sounds next to you. Backing away automatically, you find Atsumu standing right behind you.

"W-wait," your voice shakes, stuck in your throat. "What are—"

His fingers reach for your mouth, prying it open. Before you can voice your distaste, a warm, metal ball gets shoved into your mouth, the thin chain quickly tangles into your hair. The faint traces of tea seep out of its small holes down your tongue and throat, while some spill out the corner of your mouth like trails of drool down your jawline.

Osamu smiles and wipes the liquid away with his thumb, relishing in how your widening eyes gape at him in confusion.

"Being together," he answers the question you wanted to ask, "is what you want isn't it?" He takes a spool of kitchen twine and begins to secure the tea strainer in your mouth. The thin cotton threads wrap around your head over and over again, tightening the steel against your tongue.

You shake your head and try to take another step away from the man you're beginning to become wary of, but the strong grip of Atsumu's hands on your shoulder prevents you from squirming at all. His fingers dig into your flesh, and when you turn to look at him you catch a glint in his eyes, glowering down at you.

"No, no, no, behave," he taunts you, "listen to 'Samu. He'll make you feel real good, trust me."

With the gag in your mouth, all you can let out are weak, warbling gargles from the back of your throat. Why are you doing this? You weren't like this before? Loud snorts flare out your nostrils from the fear screaming through your body.

Osamu comes back with a paring knife, examining the edge under the sunlight filtering in through the stained glass. He presses the cool blade along your cheek, dragging with the dull edge just enough so the sharp end doesn't cut your skin. You feel your knees growing weak and if not for Atsumu's hold on you, you would sink into a shuddering heap on the floor.

"You know, I think you might be the best meal yet," Osamu compliments, blade trailing down to your collarbone. The tip of the knife toys with the first button, pressing tension on the x-cross stitching. Snap. The first button pops off, dropping onto the wooden floor and rolling away to an inconspicuous corner. "I'll prep you well."

Snap. Snap. Snap. Snap. The knife flicks again and all the buttons clatter on the floor before running away for refuge.

Atsumu has cleared the table already and you find yourself hoisted up and laid onto the surface like a slab of meat on a cutting board. The cold surface presses against the back of your shoulder and ass. Osamu ties your wrist together with a hemp rope and secures the other end around the table leg. He also secures your ankles to two other anchor points.

You're utterly exposed and ashamed at your body's display, mortified at how your body is reacting when you catch sight of Atsumu, his eyes dilated, looking at your slit that you know is drenched already. The rough texture of the rope presses painfully into your skin from how tight the bindings are. You can only let out gagged whines in complaint, chest rising up and down from the loud breaths.

"Can't do, love," Osamu chides, kissing the knot at your wrist, satisfied with the results. His fingertips trail down to cup your jaw and his thumb runs across the tea strainer. You close your eyes and groan at his touch. Osamu murmurs, "I won't let anything go to waste."

Atsumu is growing impatient at the sight of his twin treating you like the finest specimen ever. You're not the first one. You won't be the last one, but he still can't stand the sight of someone looking just like himself having first tastes while he's missing out himself. He wants to shove Osamu aside, but he knows that Osamu absolutely hates it when he ravages the meal when it's not ready.

Atsumu unzips his pants and lets his hardened, leaking cock spring free. You stare at Atsumu who is fixated on his own pleasure. His hand wraps around his cock and pumps the length up and down.

Osamu turns your head to look at himself instead. "Someone there is impatient, but let's not learn from him, okay? I want to take you slow, make sure you'll be ready. I don't want you stressed, you release too much cortisol and that toughens the meat."

Anything that goes through his hands...well, in short, all become part of his design.

His hand kneads your breast and toys with your nipple, circling and tugging on the tiny, erect bud.

"Relax," he whispers into your ear. "Just like you did last night."

You try to clamp your thighs shut from reflex. Immediately the resistance from the rope ties stop your movements. Osamu squeezes your thighs and pushes them apart once more.

"Right here isn't it, after hearing me fuck 'Tsumu..." Osamu's finger runs down the sides of your labia. "You just couldn't help touching yourself too huh?"

He knows. They know. You feel your cheeks burn at the realization.

"There's nothing embarrassing about it. If anyone should be, it should be us twins, " Osamu's fingers easily slip in, your pussy already dripping with arousal. "Oh woops, I shouldn't need to comfort you. You're clearly not shy."

Osamu's fingers are thick and long, able to reach far deeper than you ever can. Your tongue is still struggling against the gag while your saliva steeps the tea leaves trapped in the ball.

"Oi," Atsumu cuts in with annoyance. "I thought you said to not play with food. What the fuck are you doing, chef?"

Osamu stops his finger in you for a moment before dragging them out. You're trembling at the sudden emptiness and desire to fill the space immediately. The lack of stimulation is irritating and you are desperate.

Osamu walks up to Atsumu, bringing his drenched fingers covered in your slick to his lips for a taste. Before he can do so, Atsumu grabs Osamu's wrist and takes in those digits, sucking on them gingerly.

Osamu smiles and runs the other hand through Atsumu's hair.

"Patience is a virtue, 'Tsumu, I was just getting her fully prepared for you. I'm giving her all to you already, you couldn't even let me have a taste of her?"

Atsumu releases Osamu's fingers with a pop. "I never said I wasn't going to share," he mutters before pulling Osamu in for a kiss, passing the taste of you along their tongues.

Your body jostles as you finally get a visual matching what you heard last night. You feel your pussy leaking with more excitement, the arousal drips all the way down to your asshole. And the more you squirm, it's as though the rope ties become tighter and tighter, rubbing your skin raw. But even that pain is incomparable to the need to quell your fire.

Atsumu pulls away and presses one last kiss on Osamu's nose. "I always love what you serve, thank you 'Samu." Your heart rate rapidly speeds up as Atsumu comes towards you. He's positioned between your legs, both hands on your thighs, marveling at the display of your body. His hands feel hot.

Atsumu grins. "You probably didn't expect me to be the one taking you, huh?" He guides his cock to your entrance, the bulging tip prodding along your puffy lips. "Did you want Osamu to be the one fucking you?"

No? You want to argue, straining your head up slightly, but only tea-laced saliva drips out from the corners of your mouth.

"'Fuck me, 'Samu. Fuck me, please.' Is that what you heard? Is that what you wanted to say too?"

Your screams are muffled whimpers.

Osamu snorts off to the side, watching Atsumu do exactly what he accused Osamu earlier of: playing with his food. Hypocrite.

Atsumu glares at Osamu before turning his attention back to you. "You'll be begging for me, Atsumu, after I'm done with you."

He lines himself at your entrance and inches himself in, groaning at how your cunt is somehow just sucking him in. You're so warm and tight inside, wrapping perfectly around every part of him. He sits in you for a moment, just enjoying being blanketed by your muscles and chuckling how you tighten around him every now and then.

You whine, urging Atsumu to move a little.

"Okay, okay. Geez, and 'Samu says I'm impatient." Atsumu slowly draws his cock out and snaps his hips forward, the base of his balls slapping against your ass. He delights at how you squeeze your eyes shut and continues rocking into you at a comfortable pace.

Osamu enjoys standing off to the side for a while. He always liked watching Atsumu savor and delight the food he prepares. Atsumu always eats with such gusto. It should have always been that way, until the witch ruined everything. The curse, an experiment with the dark arts, should have never happened. Above all else, it should never have been on Atsumu. Osamu can only wonder if the reason they are subjected to this fate is because they are twins. Until a cure is found, Atsumu, his most beloved other, will have to replenish himself in this way.

A sharp pain rips through you and tears well up in your eyes. You feel Atsumu's cock suddenly begin to pulsate and grow in size. At first, you thought it was because you're clamping down on him too hard and will yourself to relax. But the cock, the thing, is certainly unnatural now. And between your tear-stained vision, you can just barely make out... Monster.

You begin to thrash wildly, head tossing side to side, back arched as much as you can in a futile escape attempt. Atsumu's claws rest on your hips while he pounds into you furiously. His groans, now deep growls, send vibrations that you can feel within your throbbing clit. You fear that you'll actually be ripped in half by the way Atsumu is thrusting into you. The engorged cockhead hits your cervix each time and his ball sack, even heavier, bowls and knocks against you.

Osamu unfolds his arms and comes over.

"It'll only hurt if you don't relax," he tells you, reaching out to press on your clit. "Just let him have his way."

"Go fuck her somewhere else," Atsumu snarls. His voice is warped and bellowing. Your mind is getting foggy as Osamu's fingers on your clit don't stop teasing the bud while having a petty talk with Atsumu. And Atsumu, ticked off by Osamu, picks up his speed.

"There we go, now that's beautiful," Osamu comments, taking his hand away and watching you unfurl in your pleasure. Your abused cunt is puffy when Atsumu pulls out, and you feel the thick liquid start to flow out when you take breaths.

"No, don't do that," Osamu chides, taking three fingers to gather the cum spilling out and stuffing it back in. "Better keep it all in. 'Tsumu isn't done with you yet."

Not yet? You can't even voice your thoughts except weakly shaking your head and moaning into the steel gag. In the moment, your stomach rumbles loudly.

"'Samu, she's hungry," Atsumu points out, rubbing your tummy. "You feed her and I'll stuff her."

Osamu ruffles Atsumu's long hair and gives his new, erected horns a teasing squeeze. Atsumu yelps at the touch. "'Samu!"

"Okay, okay," Osamu relents and stands next to your head. You see him take the paring knife again and slide the icy blade between the cotton ties and your hot cheek. A quick slice and you feel the pressure of the gag release. Osamu removes the tea strainer from your mouth and tosses it into the sink.

"Must have been so over-brewed, I apologize for that," he says. You know he doesn't mean it at all.

"Why?" you croak out. Your jaw and cheeks are sore from being held in position for so long. There's so many things you believe you can ask why about. Why they are prepping you like a meal, fucking you like a toy...Why Atsumu is the way he is. Why Osamu is not who you think he is either. Why you.

Despite Atsumu's grotesque figure, you're sure that you fear this twin more. Osamu's thoughts are so well-hidden behind his eyes; he never gives away what he's thinking or planning. You can only accept his decisions from the receiving end.

"Because of Atsumu," Osamu answers. Everything is for 'Tsumu. "I'll feed you."

Osamu cradles your head with both hands, his fingers tangled in your hair. He prods his cock against your lips. Feeling your resistance, he grips your hair tightly, painfully pulling on your scalp, and presses the tip of his cock to force your lips open. You nearly gag at the length entering your throat and your hands ball into tight fists. Your nose is buried in the base of his cock, pressing into his balls. Each breath you take is heavy with his musky, hot scent.

It's easy to focus on Osamu's cock fucking into your throat, leaving an unamused, monstrous twin off to the side preparing to turn your attention back to him by force.

Atsumu rubs himself against you, preparing to enter you again. You're sure that he has become even bigger. When the tip pushes through, your body attempts to fight the intrusion in self-preservation. The claws at your hips dig in and Atsumu all but pulls you onto his length like a sock. You scream around Osamu's cock, throat clenching around his thick length, and nearly black out from the stretch.

You never had anything this big in you before. Atsumu lifts you up slightly, his grasp becoming large enough to encircle around your whole waist. Your ankles are still tethered and tug on you, much to Atsumu's annoyance. He easily slices through the bondages with a sharp claw. Now free of restraints, Atsumu can cradle you more easily, finally pushing the last section into you.

Crack!

You can’t cry while you're stuffed with Osamu’s cock, but tears stream endlessly from your eyes. You’re sure your pelvic floor is broken, completely forced apart in a futile attempt to accommodate Atsumu stuffing you beyond your physical capacity. Your hips give out as your two legs, bone out from their sockets, dangle grotesquely.

“Just focus on me,” Osamu wipes your tears away and continues to pump into you. But you cannot focus on the human object in your mouth when your whole lower half and inwards are broken, stretched or squashed.

"Hey look ‘Samu! It's bulging," Atsumu marvels at the imprint of his tip pushing your flesh out from the inside. “Look, my cock is saying ‘hello’.”

Atsumu excitement translates into messy thrusts, treating your body like a game. “Maybe I can even touch your dick through her!”

Your whole body is numb, the brain shuts its pain signals off completely, and hormones pour through your bloodstream in overdrive. The broken climax spasms through your body like the last bits of a faltering system.

“Better hurry...she’s...she’s fading soon,” Osamu warns between his grunts. He clasps your head and spurts his seed into you. You mindlessly swallow every drop of him, letting the contents slowly flow down your throat. You can’t process anything nor recognize any of the murky images. Who are you? Where are you?

Your memory fades in and out as your eyesight drifts between black and white. You can’t do anything about how the monster is now on all fours over your body, unrecognizable as Atsumu. You don’t feel any fear towards this grotesque figure. You don’t register how his tongue licks your neck.

Your mouth is now empty but you can’t formulate syllables.

“I’m sorry,” you hear Osamu whisper before sharp fangs pierce into your jugular, digging in deeper and tearing a chunk out. Red sprays across your body in fast spurts, drenching Atsumu and covering Osamu. The teeth at your throat gnaw at the flesh, starved, tearing through the skin, fat, and tissues like a child crunching fruit.

You can feel the droplets falling onto your face like fresh rain after a storm. You vaguely remember your teacher and her warning of strangers. She always reprimanded you and you wanted to make her proud. There will no longer be any chance of that now. You weren’t a good student, and only an utter failure.

Osamu waits for Atsumu to finish you off. Atsumu always gets messy at this point. Osamu tried to help Atsumu section his prey off by cutting and organizing the limbs and even attempted to debone the meal beforehand, but Atsumu has his preferences, and Osamu respects them. So, Osamu delegates cleaning duties to himself instead.

You’re already beyond recognition when Osamu comes back with barrels of oil. All that is left is a kitchen stained with blood and a pile of bone with chewed connective tissue left. Atsumu sometimes eats the bones too, but not always.

“‘Tsumu, are you full now?” Osamu asks, reaching out to cradle his twin. Atsumu has now transformed back to the way he is supposed to be. Osamu threads his hand through Atsumu’s blonde hair and inhales his twin’s scent.

Atsumu doesn’t respond and tugs at Osamu’s collar, trailing down his arm to bring Osamu’s hand to his own cock.

Osamu grins and kisses the top of Atsumu’s head. “Do you want to fuck me ‘Tsumu? I know you like to, after your meals.”

Atsumu whines and nips at Osamu’s jaw, pushing the twin down on the blood-stained floor.

“Okay, okay.” Osamu unzips and pulls down his pants before crawling onto all fours.

Atsumu’s hand cups Osamu’s ass and pries the cheeks open before curiously fingering at the specimen plugging Osamu’s hole. Atsumu holds onto the base and turns the object, before laughing.

“‘Samu, what is this you have in your ass,” Atsumu teases. “I like this presentation.”

This time, Osamu is the one embarrassed. “Last meal, it hurt like hell. So...I wanted to prepare a little.”

“With an egg holder?” Atsumu cackles again, fiddling with the ceramic object. “Should’ve just told me ‘Samu, I could never bear to hurt you.”

Atsumu holds onto the base and slowly pulls the object out before tossing it aside. He smiles and teases Osamu’s enlarged hole that’s opening and closing around nothing. Gathering up some saliva, he spits onto Osamu’s asshole before lining his cock at the rim and slowly pushing in.

Along with the curse comes a near insatiable lust. Atsumu knows that if he doesn’t fulfill his need to fuck or be fucked, he will snap. He doesn’t really care who he kills during a frenzy of that sort, but it’s too risky to get Osamu caught up in the collateral.

The witch that wanted to create the perfect weapon, failed. She failed because she underestimated the twins’ bonds for each other. She failed because the twins discovered that witches excrete a very special hormone in their body after climax, and it is exactly that substance that is slowly curing Atsumu. With every witch eaten and absorbed, Atsumu is healing and gaining magical powers. He is even capable of passing those essences to Osamu. One day, everything will be the way it's supposed to be.

Osamu plays with a few strands of Atsumu’s hair. Atsumu’s softened cock still buried inside of him. Atsumu has his jaw resting on Osamu’s shoulder.

“You make me feel so good,” Atsumu sighs, enjoying the quiet moments after his high.

“And what about her?” Osamu asks, gesturing to the table where your remains are still at.

“She made me feel good too. The best one yet, but don’t be jealous.”

“Come on, let’s clean up and get out of here.”

After washing their bodies and changing into clean clothes, Atsumu and Osamu are ready to say goodbye to the cottage they have overstayed their welcomes at.

"Let's go 'Samu, we're already behind." Atsumu finishes dumping the last bucket of oil along the edges of the room.

The clamor of boots stride across the creaking wood. As though with the passing of its owner, the cottage itself has lost the will to live.

"Coming," Osamu calls back, walking past the makeshift funeral pyre for you. He notices a flash on the ground and bends down to pick up a button.

"'Samu! Get the fuck out or I'll burn ya down too!"

"Yea, yea."

Osamu drops the button into his shirt pocket and joins his twin outside. Atsumu strikes a matchstick and tosses the small flame into the cottage. Fire meets oil and spreads in an instance, engulfing the cottage in an angry blend of orange and red, devouring all contents and remains within. The smell of scorched wood reaches the twins who are looking at the sight from a distance.

"She was good," Atsumu comments, looking at his twin unsure about what Osamu's grey eyes are thinking about. Atsumu realizes that he didn't specify what good exactly means. But it doesn't seem like Osamu is paying much attention. Is Osamu thinking about you? Is he unhappy? Does he regret what happened to you? Although what's done is done already, if time can go back, would Osamu choose? You or Atsumu?

Osamu slips his hand into Atsumu's, erasing the unspoken worries away. He gently leads Atsumu onto the trail, leaving the burning cottage behind.

"Stop thinking such nonsense," Osamu mutters, squeezing Atsumu's hand. No matter what happens, Atsumu will always come first. His needs, his desires. That's what it means for Osamu to love Atsumu. Even though the rest of the world may not understand the relationship the twins share, calling it depraved and disgusting, it's still selfless on their part. What sin is there to honestly love? What sin is there to try and save his loved ones?

While Osamu admits to himself that he does feel a deep attraction to you and knows that Atsumu feels the same pull as well, there's nothing that can be done about Atsumu's condition. But it's not as though you are completely gone. Your essences and core are within both twins, being absorbed as one with their bodies and soul. You'll forever be with them in that way, even if you no longer have any sentient memory of it.

Osamu fiddles the button in his pocket; there's still a physical reminder of you in that tiny form.

It must be about a twenty-minute trek from the burning site. Although the flames are already far from eyesight, the scorching smell and embers still drift over. The twins pick up their pace, eager to exit the forest before nightfall and make it to the next destination. On the way, they pass by the tree trunk with a wanted poster.

"They never get my best angles!" Atsumu complains, ripping a wanted poster that is nailed to the tree trunk.

"It's not like you have a good angle, ‘Tsumu."

"Shut it, we look the same ‘Samu. You're just calling yourself ugly too!"

Osamu shrugs and continues his trek down the main trail. Atsumu huffs, tearing the parchment into indistinguishable pieces before throwing the shreds up into the air like confetti.

"Wait up!"

Osamu stops in his tracks. "Hurry up, loser. We still have a long way to go."

Atsumu takes a few wide strides and swings his arm around his twin's shoulder. Behind them, a very light drizzle falls from the sky.
