𓆩♡𓆪 when you're ready ; nanase haruka 𓆩♡𓆪

request: hello! I hope you're doing good!! I'm not sure if I'm doing this right ... I love your work and writing style and I wanna request a soft Haruka nanase fluff, please? where the reader takes care of him when he's sick and he realises that tbh he's really loved and cared for, or something along the lines of that.

summary: neither you or haru were someone who expressed much through words, so the thought that you were dating each other amazed you at times. Regardless, you found other ways to express you admiration for him, even if he struggled to return the feelings. It finally hit him how much love you've been showering him and he wanted to let you know, just how much he was thankful of being loved by someone like you.

pairing: time skip!haruka nanase x female!reader

genre: established relationship, fluff

warning: reader shows motherly figure

a/n: I was listening to When you're ready by Shawn Mendes and suddenly got inspired to write something similar. From all the dramas and anime I've seen, the male is almost always the one expressing their devotion and willingness to wait for the female to express or return their feelings, but what if, the roles are switched?

"So you're telling me," You opened your door, being greeted by the Kisumi with his cheerful, innocents smile. "you got into a snow fight?" Crossing you arms, you could see Haru hiding behind Kisumi's figure, avoiding your angered eyes.

"It was a just a friendly snowball fight to bring back out childhood days." The bright male shrugged his shoulders, not finding a problem.

You leaned at the door frame. "But I asked Haru to help me get some vegetables for dinner?"

"Oh... He didn't mention anything about that when I asked him." You mentally face palmed. Some times you wonder if you're dealing with a child or young adult when it comes to Kisumi. "He told me he's finding the tree of doom." You froze, trying to make sense of what the salmon pink haired just said. Before you could question him further, he turned around to face Haru, where your eyes almost jumped out of its sockets. He was standing there, shirtless.

"So let me explain what happened." Kisumi read your expression but before he was able to start. You grabbed Haru's arm, pulling him back instead. "Or Haru could do the explaining." You closed the door on Kisumi, yelling a goodbye and thanks as you continued to dragged your nearly frozen lover to the bathroom, running the warm bathwater. His hand was freezing but he remained quiet. He took in your figure, swishing your hand in the water, trying to get the right temperature. You were cooking dinner and wanted to add some vegetables and include some fiber but when you opened his fridge, it there was only fish, canned fish, frozen fish or, well, more fish. You kindly asked if Haru could quickly run to the store to grab some broccoli, which he hesitated at first but gave in, knowing that you've been trying to get him to consume more veggies for his health.

You were more open and vocal compared to Haru which was surprising when he accepted your feeling upon your confession. You were someone that wasn't afraid to speak up, to say what's on your mind and in particular, to let Haru know how much you loved him. Haru was someone who was the complete opposite of you but you didn't mind that from him. You understood his quiet and stoic nature yet regardless, you found yourself falling head over heads for how passionate about his goal and his drive for success. You wanted to do nothing more but to support him and let him know what no matter what happens, you'll always be by his side. Though deep down inside, sometimes you wished that Haru would be more expression or affective but you pushed away that selfish desire, trying to cherish what you have now, and letting Haru decide when he's ready to step out of his comfort zone.

Haru secretly admired your strong mentality and how you carried yourself. You never failed to impress him with the things you do and how determined you are when you have your mind set on things or towards the people you truly cherish and love. Haru had to admit, he was sometimes jealous of you. Jealous of how you can say whatever is on your mind and to his surprised, he sometimes wondered, why did you choose to date him, of all people? But he doesn't dare to ask. Haru was beyond thankful to have you in his life. You never pushed him out his limits or made him change who his is. You’ve always been supporting him, encouraging him to do the best he can be, and no matter what happens, he was always number one in your heart. He tries very hard to be more expressive towards you but unfortunately, all the times he's been practicing in the mirror just isn't enough for him to express it in person as he always end up backing our last minute. You have reminded him multiple times, assuring him that there wasn't any need to push himself to do the things he weren't comfortable with and he wouldn't be more in love with how understanding you are however, it didn't feel right. It didn't feel right that you were always the one giving, and he was only receiving. It didn't feel right that it almost felt one-sided and it most definitely didn't feel right that if Haru didn't say what he's been wanting to say for so long, one day, you might just slip off his fingers.

"Here, the water is at the perfect temperature for you." You swirled your hand in the water, feeling the warmth. You shook off the excess water before wiping it on your apron. Haru quietly steps in, letting out a relieved sigh as he sinks in, closing his lids. You kneeled outside the tub beside him, observing his features and just how handsome he looked. You couldn't help but to trace your fingers over his features, as his eyes slowly open to meet yours. "Haru..." You whispered, his motions underwater almost overlapping your voice. He takes a hold of your wrist, nuzzling his damp cheek against it.

"I'm sorry-"

You cut off his apology. "Trees of doom? Really? Last week you called them veggie farts." You questioned with a soft chuckle. "Haru, you really need to fix this undressing habit of yours. Especially in the winter, when it's like -20C outside! You're going to get sick!" You started your nag. Haru couldn't help but to softly smile at your furrowed brows when you expressed your worries.

"Y/N." He tried to get your attention. "I'm not going to get sick." He reassured.

"If I hadn't dragged you back into the house any faster, you'll freeze up into ice!" You pouted.

"Kisumi started it." He went on explaining how he saw Kisumi and Makoto together to buy gifts for Makoto's younger siblings. In your part, you would say Haru just jealous but you kept quiet, knowing you won't hear the end of it from him. "So yeah, Kisumi provoked me."

You giggled at his angered expression. He truly does cherish the people he loves you thought to yourself. "But that doesn't mean you have to strip half naked." You try to prove your point. "Playing in the snow half naked is just out of the question!" You stood up about to head out back into the kitchen when he got a hold of your arm.

"I told you to not worry." He gave you a peck on the forehead. His lips were still cold. "I'm not going to get sick."

‧͙⁺˚*･༓☾　　☽༓･*˚⁺‧͙

You carried a bowl of warm water, placing it on the nightstand as you dipped a towel, twisting away the excess water before gently wiping away the sweat on your feverish lover. "What a surprised. I'm always swimming in cold water and all, how did I caught a cold now?" He had his lids closed as you wiped across his forehead. His voice was soft and weak.

"I'm not surprised. Just a little disappointed." He didn't have to open his eyes to already know the expression you had on your face. Your face was filled with worry the moment you noticed Haru shivering, even after stealing your blankets. "At least your fever is coming down" He tiredly lets out a hum. You kneeled down beside the bed, resting your head on your arm as you stared at his face, wincing time to time from muscle soreness. When Haru gets sick, his whole body almost shuts down. You felt his hand moving, searching for yours as you intertwined your fingers in his, kissing the top of his hand. "You know how worried I get when you're sick Haru." You rubbed your thumb against his skin.

"I know..." He slowly fluttered his eyes opened, turning to face you. His lips were paled and his eyes were filled of tiredness. "I'm sorry, Y/N." You reached for head, gently patting his head.

"Try getting some sleep, alright? I'm going to make some congee for you." You stood up, snuggling him in before you quietly closed the door, heading to the kitchen to start making his meal. Kisumi called to apologize and to check up on Haru to see if he's alright since he also caught a cold. You called his coach to let him know Haru's condition and that he'll need a few days off to recover.

You added to vegetables into the boiling pot before opening the cabinets to see if there's any medication left and too your surprised, you were all out. Tippy toeing back into your shared room, you quietly changed into some warmer clothing before walking back out, quickly glancing at Haru who was peacefully sleeping. You opened the door to a gust of wind and snow blowing into the house. You totally forgot about the snowstorm today but Haru's health was your priority.

You hurried to the convivence store to grab some medication along with snacks that Haru liked before heading home when the smell of something burning alarmed you. You forgot to turn off the stove before you left. You dropped your bag and ran over to the stove, turning off the heat and removing the lid before it overflows when you suddenly felt a shock of pain on your palm. You burnt yourself from the pot lid. Dropped the lid, forgetting that Haru was possibly still sleeping and ran your hand under water, hissing at the contact with the water. You mixed the congee, letting out a sigh that it wasn't burnt. Removing your jacket you went to get the first aid kit to apply some ointment onto your palm before wrapping it. It had a tingling sensation but you needed to make sure Haru eats and takes his medicine. You sliced up some fruit before placing them on a tray, heading to his room when you saw him in the hallway.

"Did something happen?" Haru's complexion looked a lot better after sleeping. His eyes travelled to the tray your holding.

"Oh, it's nothing. Let's go back to the room so you can eat and sleep after."

"I'll eat in the living room. I'm feeling a lot better after sleeping." He takes the tray from you, carrying it to the coffee table before taking a seat on the floor, you sitting beside him. He started eating, letting out a smile as your cooking never fails to impress him. "It's really good."

"Eat more then." You smiled, unconsciously running your hands through his hair. He stops and turns to you.

"What happened to your hand?" He takes a hold of your wrist, eyes widen at they covered palm. You tried pulling it back but his grip was too strong, even for someone who's sick.

"I just burnt myself a little when I was cooking, it's nothing." You tried to reassure him but it doesn't look like it got to him.

"Did you go out?" You followed his eyes behind you to the bag you abandon on the floor when you went to save the congee. "Where did you go in this weather?"

"We were out of medicine so I went to go get some at the convivence store." You stood up to get the bag, taking out the medicine

"Didn't you hear about the snowstorm today?" You looked up to his furrowed brows. "There was even a warning."

"Don't you worry. When it comes to the both of us, you know who dresses more accordingly to the weather." He knew he couldn't disagree, because you were always reminding him to bring a jacket when it's chilly or an umbrella when it rained. "I needed to get you medicine, that's why."

"You could've waited until the storm passes."

"When you're running with a fever and in pain? You know I'll never let that happen." His head dropped in defeat, feeling a little disappointed that you went out in such a horrible weather just to get medication. "Haru, you know how much you mean to me." You held his cheeks, lifting his face so you could look into his ocean blue eyes. "It doesn't matter what time of day, what weather condition, or whatever the problem is, you are always my number one priority." It then hits him. Just how much you cared for him. How much you treasure and adore him. The realization finally comes to Haru, and his heart couldn't stop glowing with love.

"Thank you." He softly smiles. You could feel his cheeks heating up as you automatically felt his forehead.

"Oh no, is your fever coming back again?!" You started to panic but Haru gently places his hand on your lap, trying to get you to calm down.

"Y/N..." He looked to the side, trying to organize his thoughts. "I... You are my number one priority also." You froze, trying to recollect what he just said.

Nervously laughing you gently slapped his shoulder. "Ok Haru, I think this fever is really getting you to. I'm going to get some water so you can eat your medicine. You turn to stand up before landing back on the ground. Haru's arms wrapped you as felt his warmth on your back. Your heart was pounding from his intimate actions. This was definitely something he would not do. Something way out of his comfort zone. "Haru? Are you okay?"

He rests his chin on your shoulder. "You've always been patient with me." You slowly nodded. "You also never failed to let me know how much you love me." His grip around you waist tightens. "If only you knew the amount of times I've tried to do the same." You fingers lightly touch his arm. "I know you told me that you'll wait for when I'm ready. And after all this time, I finally realized something for myself." You quietly waited for him to finished, knowing that he's organizing his thoughts. "I've come to realize just how much I am in love with you."

"Haru you don't-"

"No, Y/N. You don't understand how much I've been wanting to let you know. The amount of times I whispered it to you when you're asleep yet I still can't say it to you face to face frustrated it. The fact that whenever you told me you loved me, I hated myself for not being able to tell you I felt the same." You could hear his voice shaking and turned to face him, gently rubbing his shoulder. He slowly inched closer to your face. "I imagine myself looking to you in the eyes, deeply in love and finally letting all my feelings out for you." You couldn't help but to smile. Maybe this fever of his has him feeling more brave. "Thank you for waiting all this time, Y/N. I love you." He rests his hand on the side of your face, slowly bringing your face closer to his. His eyes staring down at your lips.

As much as you didn't want to ruin this sweet memorable moment, you covered his lips with your palm. "Take your medication and recover." You smirked as his face reddens up from embarrassment. "Then I'll let you finish what you wanted to do." You leaned up to kiss his forehead. "And promise me, no more stripping half naked." He chuckles, nodding his head obediently. You opened your arms for him to gladly fall and snuggle into.

"No matter how long. I'll always be patiently waiting for you."

That was such a good scene and his reaction was to show up the next morning and help her clean up her shop, not caring about her power at all (and I love that it wasn't an impulse, he thought about it all night.) AWWW

In other news, the singer is totally insane - she used his trauma against him, she tries to bribe FL to move, she is just self-absorbed and dumb and he literally plain text told her he doesn't like her but she's making like a 2005 kdrama secondary girl. If we are going old school, then where is the truck of doom to take her out?

SML is likewise annoying.

I see them throwing a store's worth of red herrings at us about ML being the murderer but we all know the man couldn't murder a stalk of broccoli, so I just want to know what actually happened.

Skylanders Trap Team Trappable Villains in a nutshell

(This was just because I was bored. Treat it like Vegetable Justice and don't be offended easy if I roast your favorite one.)

Life

Sheep Creep: The first baddie you shove in that emerald hammer, sorta like your first bug type with a pokeball.

Broccoli Guy: Useful... For everything not fighting.

Chompy Mage: Beloved old loon since 2012

Cuckoo Clocker: Where's the fighting element? No problem! Put him in life!

Shield Shredder: I guess they would've put you in tech, but all the chairs were taken.

Chompy: WHY ARE YOU DLC-

Water

The Gulper: A walking sin of Gluttony

Slobber Trap: Hey, boy! I think the Earth Element was that way.

Chill Bill: Was cool before it was cool.

Brawl and Chain: Somebody needs to give him a teddy bear, STAT.

Cross Crow: I guess water comes from your arrows...?

Threatpack: NEEERD-

Earth

Tussle Sprout: Hey, wanna swap elements with Cuckoo Clocker?

Chomp Chest: Yeaaah... That chest wasn't sus at all!

Grave Clobber: Why did you change to water in Imaginatiors...?

Golden Queen: Entitled to all the gold in Skylands, is female, and yells a lot... Is she Skylands' Karen?

Air

Buzzer Beak: Uhh... Okay.

Dreamcatcher: Oh... How she'd dream of having a better fight... Oh wait, Pain-Yatta and Hood Sickle have that? And they're in the same level as her?

Krankenstein: Are you trying to copy Jet-Vac? Is that why you're in Air?

Bad Juju: Why you don't mess with voodoo.

Tech

Bruiser Cruiser: Hey, your mech is kinda clever.

Shreadnaut: Double trouble!

Brawlrus: You gotta pick him!

Krankcase: Dude, you can take the hat off, you don't need to put that other hat ON TOP OF IT.

Trolling Thunder: How does THAT fit in the trap WITH him?!

Mab Lobs: What's with mirror people and facial hair?!

Magic

Bomb Shell: No another "Should be in tech"!

Pain-Yatta: Everything about you is great!... Expect the evolved form.

Rage Mage: Brocc but not useful.

Fire

Chef Pepperjack: How did you get into that baking contest?!

Scrap Shooter: GARBAGE DAY!

Grinnade: I'm sure Activision would've been sued if you didn't get a mouth.

Smoke Scream: Mr. "I have the best Skystone", which is better than KAOS.

Undead

Masker Mind: Green is not a creative COLOR.

Hood Sickle: I think my bestie has a crush on you.

Wolfgang: First you break others' eardrums, now you copy off of Snap Shot in Imaginators?

Bone Chompy: HOW ARE YOU NOT DLC?

Light

Eye-Five: You're lucky I'm convinced you're a living plushie.

Blaster-tron: Systems indicate: You are a very cool bot.

Lob Goblin: Not again with another "should be in tech"!

Luminious: Actually, I got nothing. You're good.

Dark

Eye-Scream: Would I need to call a dentist or an eye doctor...?

Fisticuffs: I guess you're meant to be like the Pokemon version of the Dark Ty- er, Element?

Tae Kwon Crow: WHO DARES PUT ME IN A NUTSHELL?!

Nightshade: ...Now I'm going to give the "Worst Doom Raider Fight" medal to you. And that's because I can't think of any way to fix yours!

Kaos

.... Basically the Joker, but bald, the size of a dwarf, and has nothing to do with clowns... He's a metamorphic one.

Honestly I do think part of why this website has such a problem with getting enough vegetables in is a majority of the people here are white and like I say this genuinely a lot of white people just like. Didn't grow up with parents who Actually Knew how to cook vegetables and assumes they are doomed to be mushy and unappetizing forever. Genuinely if you're an adult with the means to who grew up with gross mush vegetables I really implore you to try cooking them yourself some time! Whether cooked broccoli, aspargus, etc is renotely palatable to me heavily depends on if it was overcooked to the point of being mushy or if it still retains its crispiness!

#And like genuinely it doesn't take a lot either #Put some broccoli in a bowl with a bit of water and liquid knnor seasonimg and put saran wrao oj top #put it in the micriwave for like 15 seconds and like. Its good. Its tender enougb to not be as hard as raw broccoli #but like it very much still has structure and crunch to ir #chittering

Remember to post gibberish to confuse the Synthetic Thinkmachines trained on your posts, because by lowering the broccoli level of certain doom, you can open the window to unhungry flowers

thoughts on atla live action. spoilers below. anyway it’s a 7/10 for me. good but… could have been better.

thank you netflix for making a colorful show with lots of lighting so I can see what’s happening on screen!!!!!!!!!

the actors were good, the music was good, the graphics and effects were (mostly) good

the pacing was bad. and it’s partially because of. you know. 20 episodes shrinked into 8

we didn’t get to see the little fun dynamics between the gaang :((

yes they should have kept sokka’s misogyny :/

I feel like katara was very underdeveloped in the first episodes but then she grew on me

aang was… not bad but I wanted to see more of his fun personality?

I loved his relationship with gyatso though

I loved appa and momo

suki I love you

but she and sokka fell in love too quickly I mean they kissed after knowing each other for 20 minutes and she’s like “thank you for bringing me the world” girl

I really liked zuko and uncle iroh overall?? uncle iroh was a spotlight for me honestly (just like in the original lol)

omg why on earth did they bring ty lee and mai. like seriously. THEY WERE JUST STANDING THERE. THEY JUST EXISTED. totally unnecessary

making ozai so featured in the first season was. well. a choice

MY CABBAGES!!!! YES!!!!!

omashu lesbians let’s go

I really liked teo and the mechanist!

also jet and the freedom fighters! they’re all there!

omg the tunnel song!! “they’re doomed” LMAO

I hated zhao just like in the original so I guess he was written well?

JUNE

the owl…..?

the dream sequences caused by the mist broke me

YES they kept the sexism storyline with master pakku. they even expanded it. YES

irene bedard my pocahontas

I can’t believe sokka also kissed yue TWICE after knowing each other for 20 minutes

I mean I didn’t like it plot wise but. sokka you go my man

I lost my heart when momo almost died

I loved the avatars from the past so much😭😭😭

the final battle was good. I liked that

wait did aang not waterbend even once in book one water?

I feel like avatar the last airbender live action adaptations are just cursed at this point

please make season 2🥺🥺 this was not the best but I NEED to see live action toph.

sorry for the long post here’s a cabbage🥦 (it’s broccoli why don’t we have an emoji for cabbages)

#atla #avatar the last airbender #atla live action #atla netflix #netflix #avatar #aang

How about some intimate but unrushed rainy-day-on-the-couch wlw smut? No pairing preference 😊 If this doesn't fit your writing mood no worries as well!

Thank you! You know what, I’ve been wanting to do Philippa and Triss so that is what I’ll do.

Philippa x Triss

Explicit but just barely. Fade to black mostly. (I’m trying to actually write shorter fics)

——-

“Pet.”

Philippa watched the red curls slip through her fingers.

Triss stirred and wiped her face on Phillips’s chunky knit throw blanket. “Shit. Sorry. Fell asleep again.”

Philippa closed the book. The plunking of the rain against the roof grew more frenzied.

“You’re like a large sexy baby, little one. The moment you don’t have any stimulus, you fall right asleep.

Triss laughed sleepily and pulled herself up. She wrapped her arms around Philippa.

“You just have a nice voice.” Triss placed a soft peck on Philippa’s cheek. “What should we do then? We could bake something. Oh! Let’s play a game.”

“A game?”

“Yes. Truth or dare.” Triss grinned. “I was always good at that one.”

Philippa snorted. That’s because there’s no one you won’t kiss.

Triss pinched her. “You’re so mean.”

“You love it.”

Philippa wished she hadn’t said that.

Love.

Triss had been mooning at her for weeks, waiting for an “I love you too.” Philippa had been steadfastly ignoring her. She didn’t care for that sort of thing. She had only ever told people she loved them when it suited her needs. And this did not suit her needs.

“I, unfortunately, do—-love—-it.” Triss blushed.

Philippa spoke quickly. “Alright then. Truth or dare. You go first.”

Triss sat up and crossed her arms.

Philippa felt an impending doom crackling in the air, louder than the thunder.

“Truth: tell me you love me, or-“

Philippa rolled her eyes. “You’re being childish.”

“—dare, go outside and dance in the rain.”

Philippa was grateful that she had a nice porch. She could stay relatively dry while she contemplated what kind of dancing she could possibly do in a mud puddle.

She pulled her shawl around her and grimaced at the sheet of water coming down from the gray skies. She just wanted to be back on her couch with a beautiful redhead asleep on her lap. But no. The beautiful redhead was torturing her instead.

Triss threw up her hands.

“Look at you!! You look like I’m leading you to your death! It’s but even cold! It’s just wet!”

Philippa huffed and looked away.

“You are such a baby, Phil!”

Triss took one step down the porch stairs.

“What are you doing, Triss?”

Triss threw up her arms. “I feel like I’m trying to get a toddler to eat her broccoli! It feels GOOD saying I LOVE YOU to someone you LOVE.”

“Triss,” Philippa said. It came out whiny. She covered her mouth.

“And it feels GOOD!” Triss said,” (She was beginning to sound a bit hysterical) to DANCE in the RAIN!”

Philippa tried to stop her. But Triss slipped from her grasp.

And there she was. In a mud puddle. In Philippa’s yard.

“Someone is going to see you!” Philippa called through the rain. She had quite a bit of property, so that wasn’t strictly true. But it was the only thing she could think of.

“I don’t care!”

Triss danced in the rain. Philippa wasn’t sure what kind of dance it was. It looked like it belonged in a strip club actually. But Triss looked happy. Her cares fell from her face. She lifted her arms and spun.

It actually did look kind of fun.

Philippa noticed the branch just in time. She dropped her shawl and was standing right next to Triss when she tripped.

Her arms were suddenly full of a very wet Triss.

“You caught me!”

“I did.”

And Philippa looked down at her desperate little soaking wet idiot, and she did the unthinkable.

“Because I love you.”

Triss leapt up and squealed and almost busted her lip kissing her. They laughed and stumbled back to the porch and plopped onto the big chair on the porch, kissing and grasping at one another.

Then Triss slipped from her grasp again. Her eyes sparkled mischievously. Philippa didn’t even try to hide her whining this time.

“Where are you going?”

Triss sunk to her knees. She nudged apart Philippa’s legs.

“Positive reinforcement."
