Reminder that the hd remaster(?) Rerelease of both Baten Kaitos games is coming out on the Switch in like, 4 days.
Listen, the advertising wasn't that great, and even if the original voice acting of the first game was awful (but so funny and charming imo, the 'so bad it's good'), the second game honestly has some of THE best voice acting in any game I've played. Such as the main character being voiced by Crawford Wilson (guy who voiced Jet in ATLA,) or another important character being voiced by Shanelle Workman Grey (voiced Larxenne in KH.) And so much more.
The gameplay itself is a card based rpg that's very fun and fast paced! It's easy to get a hold of and influences the story itself and the world, and I've never seen anything else come remotely close to it (which is honestly why chain of memories disappointed me so much lol, like, Baten Kaitos is such a gold standard for card games.) The first game is a bit slower, while the 2nd game (the prequel) is a lot faster and has some small differences but overall it's the same principles. Combos, downward or upward counting, paring the right elements, multiples and so on. Also deck organization! As well as maintaining stuff in the real world/real time since things can spoil or change over time.
The ART direction is absolutely gorgeous, using 2d backgrounds with moving 3d models, think chrono trigger. With I believe are Arabic and Mediterranean (?) Influences, and cartography. As well as a buncha weird mixed media stuff! Honestly you can find a lot to gnaw on art wise since Baten Kaitos isn't afraid to get weird and funky! With some places looking like standard fantasy land, gorgeous cloudscape, playdough world, multiple mirror worlds, a land made of sweets and the list just keeps going. One of the most beautiful games ever, really. It's up their with TWEWY, KH, Ni No Kuni, Skyward Sword, Wind Waker, BioShock, just a whole lotta games known for their aesthetic choices.
The characters are also super solid! Solid jrpg ragtag band/trio! I love them all so much, they're all so weird and vary from age and backgrounds so again if you're into any final fantasy game or other jrpgs you'll be right at home. The story in the first game, Wings is very solid with a neat twist, and then it's made richer after when you play the 2nd game, Origins (the prequel) which gives more insight and a crazier twist... Kinda gives u a bittersweetness at the end too. Please play Eternal Wings before Origins.
And lastly; The MUSIC. My god.
It's just... Chef's kiss. Honestly one of my favourite soundtracks of ALL DAMN TIME I think I'd die happy listening to Castle in the Sand before I go. Again, like the art direction, it's a grab bag of different genres, with it mostly being rock/speedrock, orchestral-esk grand pieces with organs and harpsichord, the occasional weird synths and keyboards, to funkier grooves. Evidential Material, Chaotic Dance, both of the battle themes for each game, Castle in the Sand, Valley of the Wind- literally has no skips!! It's all honestly imo, the best of Motoi Sakuraba's work, so if your into any of his, be it the Tales games or Dark Souls you'll get it all.
Unfortunately, the game doesn't seem to be getting a physical release in the US, potential a limited run in Europe, and mostly in Asia is getting copies which is a damn shame since they already took out the voice acting, and probably didn't even do much to really remaster it. I believe it'll mostly be a basic, if a little lacking, port, but even then! I encourage people to get it! Developed by the same people who worked on the xenosaga, then onto botw in some ways and more. It's like, an origin point so so many iconic creators and developers in jrpgs as a whole. I'm honestly just happy enough to see it survive past the GameCube. Which, while STILL the best way to enjoy and experience it, isn't as viable for it to survive. So yes, I'm glad it's being preserved and hope to see many new fans prop up!! Please come join in the like, 5 people still here lol. We're few but passionate! It's like, a cornerstone of my entire life unironically. Kinda like how KH or Zelda is for anyone else.
So... Please give the Baten Kaitos 1&2 HD remasters a shot! Or at least just listen to the music damn.

“I've never felt so certain! All my life, I've been torn But I'm here for a reason- could it be the reason I was born? I have always been so different, normal rules did not apply Is this the day? Are you the way I finally find out why?”
“I am found!”
“You are the one you've been waiting for All of your life...”

The Ignorant Beauty & The Beast of New York - Ch. 19
Tumblr media
PAIRING: MOB!STEVE ROGERS X READER
SYNOPSIS: You love biology. The study of life excites you. But you hate people. Especially the ones that like to stick their nose in your business. Too bad the King of Brooklyn didn’t get the memo.
MASTERLIST
Tumblr media
What Comes Around Goes Around
Peggy’s fingers curled around the porcelain teacup, delicately crafted with intricate designs, and brought it to her lips. The cool breeze of a vanishing winter sweeps through her curled auburn locks and fires goosebumps along the bare skin of her arms. Despite the cool temperature of a London morning, the sun shines freely above her, casting its rays upon her as she sits on the balcony of her penthouse. 
She takes a sip of her tea then places it back on the table beside her, eyes glued to the novel in her hand. She turns the page and her head follows. A knock comes against the glass of the balcony door making her curls bounce as she turns to see who it is. 
Dottie gives her a smile, prim and proper. Peggy replies with a roll of the eyes and returns to her book. 
Dottie only came when she had a job to give. 
“Please tell me you didn’t break my door down this time,” Peggy sighs. 
“I have a key, remember?” Dottie chuckles. She takes a seat across from her unasked. 
“You mean the one you stole from me?” Peggy mused. 
“No, the one you gave me,” Dottie retorts tiredly, discouraging Peggy from furthering her teasing. 
Peggy huffs, but doesn’t say another word. Dottie digs her hand into her bag and pulls out her phone. 
"I've found something I think you would be interested in,” she smirks, unlocking and scrolling through news. 
Peggy raises a brow at Dottie. She hands her the phone and Peggy’s lips curve up almost instantly. 
"I haven't seen this pretty face in a while,” she chuckles. 
Her eyes scan the picture. Angular cheekbones. Bright blue eyes. Golden hair. A sharp jawline. A body chiseled by the gods. 
Cameras couldn’t capture his essence. 
Her eyes flit towards the girl wrapped in his arms. "And who's this?" 
She reads the headline. 
A whore. 
"Apparently, the headlines are an exaggeration,” Dottie informs, “She's his girlfriend." 
Peggy looks up at her incredulously. "His girlfriend?" she repeats with disbelief.
"Jealous?" Dottie asks with a wicked grin, propping her chin up in her hand. 
Peggy scoffs, her eyes returning to the girl. She takes another sip of her tea. 
The taste had turned bitter.
"What is there to be jealous about?" 
Dottie shrugs. "Appearance wise she's rather plain,” she says flatly, "I was just alluding to the fact that Steve Rogers has moved on from you. You're no longer the apple of his eye.”
She speaks with emphasis to each word, slowly as if trying to rub it in her face. 
"I don't need a man to know my worth,” Peggy retorts sternly, eyes burning at Dottie. 
"But Rogers is one that you particularly enjoyed,” Dottie replies boldly, only because she knows she’s right.
Peggy’s lips waver and her gaze falls from Dottie and back onto the screen. "He was different from the others,” she murmurs softly. 
Dottie smiles triumphantly. She sits back in her seat and clasps her hands together. “The real reason I’m here is to give you a job.” 
“I had a good feeling,” she sighs, “can’t you ever come over for some tea instead?” 
“You never invite me.”
“You have a key.” 
“The boss needs your help,” Dottie states. “He needs you in New York.” 
Peggy smiles at her and then at the phone in her hand, eyes lingering at the snapshot of a sweet kiss between young lovers. 
“How convenient.” 
Tumblr media
“For the billionth time, Steve, I’m going to be fine,” you groaned. 
“Are you sure?” he asks again and you’re ready to snap his neck. “Why not take the day off?” 
“I’ve taken two days off!” you exclaimed, “I have bills to pay!” 
Steve huffs and falls back into the driver's seat of the car. He crosses his arms like a pouty child. 
You turn in your seat so you’re facing him. “Have some faith in me?” you asked, “I mean what’s the worst that could happen?” 
Steve’s head turns to you with a knowing look making you turn away from him. 
There’s a lot that can happen now that the entirety of New York knew who you were. Every step you took, every move you made had to be taken with precaution. There’s no telling of what could be behind you or in front, of where your life was going to go from here on out. 
The future has always been uncertain, but now, it was ominous. You weren’t afraid per se. It was bound to happen someday. You just weren’t ready for it. And you had a feeling you could say that for the both of you. 
“Maybe you should just move in with me,” Steve says. 
“What?” you whip your head towards him, red tinting your cheeks. 
He shrugs, a little blush covering his own. “Then you wouldn’t have to work. You’d just have to worry about school and that’s it.” 
You smile and chuckle a little. “That’s really thoughtful of you, but I’m fine, really,” you reply, taking his free hand in yours. “Things are going to be different now, but I don’t want that to change the norm. I’d rather think of it as more of a minor inconvenience.” 
Steve chuckles and shakes his head. “You really are something else. Most people would start freaking out.” 
You smirk pompously. “I guess I’m not like most people.” 
He brings your hand to his lips. “No, I guess you aren’t.” 
Leaning over, you give him a kiss but part too quickly for his liking. He frowns as you pick up your bag. 
“I should go,” you open the door. 
He tugs you by the hand. “Listen, if anything happens you call me and if I don’t pick up call—”
“Call Bucky,” you recite with a sigh. “And if he won’t pick up. Call Sam. Or Nat. Or Peter,” you list on your fingers. “Honestly, I’ll be dead by then.” 
“Y/N,” he says sternly. 
“It’s a joke,” you retort. “Ever heard of one?” 
“It’s not a good one.” 
You give him a peck on the lips and take a step out. He pulls you back in. “Y/N.” 
“What is it now?” you ask, exasperated. 
Steve grins. He’s been doting on you all day so he understands your frustration. But he can’t help himself. He’s just worried that something might happen. 
His blue eyes drink you in, take in every part of your features. Relaxed brows, tired eyes, sweet lips that he was aching to meet again. 
You warm him like the sun. Make him light enough to float off into space. He believes that all those years he’s spent without you had gone to waste. All those days you could’ve brightened his day with a smile. All those nights he could have held you in his arms. 
“Well?”
“I—” Steve starts, but hesitates. Three words rested on his tongue, itching for a release. The time wasn’t right. “Have a good day.” 
"You too." You slip out of the car as quickly as you can so he couldn't pull you back. 
Steve doesn't move an inch. His head rests against the wheel, watching the way your ponytail bounces with each step. 
You give him one last wave before entering the restaurant, then motion him to leave. 
"Y/N!" May chirps from the register. "You're alive!" 
"Did you want me dead?" 
"Of course not!" she laughs. “How are you now? I saw the news. It’s just horrible,” she shakes her head.
"It was when it came out, but it'll pass," you shrug. "Sometimes I feel like it already has. It’s been really quiet ever since.”
May chuckles, "I’m guessing Steve did his job and scared them off." 
"Maybe," you chuckle, walking past her towards the kitchen to clock in. 
“Oh yeah,” May sighs. "Wanda's been out for the past two days. Her brother got into a horrible accident and she's been with him since. It's been really hard on her." 
"Oh," you whisper, feeling sympathy for her. 
“Staff is tight today so get to work!” she orders playfully. 
You stand tall and give her a salute. “Aye, aye, Captain.” 
Tumblr media
Wanda’s strides grow wider as she draws nearer to the restaurant. Fires of fury smoldered in her brown eyes. Her face was red with suppressed rage, and when Vision called from behind, her head whipped towards him. ready to attack. 
She ignores his pleas and pulls the door to Urban Remedy violently as if to break it off its hinges. May’s head turns around at the sound. 
“Wanda?” she asked, confused. “What are you doing here?” 
Wanda ignores her question and looks around for you. She makes her way into the kitchen to find you picking up orders. 
When you see her you give her a small apologetic smile and it only pisses her off. 
“Who the hell do you think you are?” she hisses. Her voice echoes through the kitchen, making every living thing pause for a moment. 
“What?” Your brows knit together in confusion. 
She grabs you by the shirt with both hands. “What did my brother do to you?” she shouts, shaking you violently. “You ruined his life!” 
You push her off. “I have no idea what you’re talking about!” 
“Your fucking boyfriend!” she spat with a pointed finger. Her words spark a fire that courses through your veins. “He hurt my brother.” Wanda’s eyes gloss over but her anger remains evident in her brows. “He broke him and left him to die,” she says, voice cracking a little with every word. “I couldn’t even recognize him when I found him.” 
The fire in you runs cold. Your tightened jaw goes slack leaving your mouth parted slightly in shock. Your mind goes blank. 
Wanda breaks into tears and it breaks your heart. Vision places his hands on her shoulders from behind. 
It doesn’t make any sense to you. You didn’t know what to say or how to explain. 
What the hell were you going to explain if you didn’t even know what had happened?
You come to place your hand on her arm. “Wanda I—” 
She flinches at your touch, eyes blazing red. “Don’t touch me,” she jeers.
Your hand falls to your side and you look away in shame. Your thoughts run wild. Trying to tie the situation together and not make you fall apart at the same time. 
Why would Steve hurt him? 
Then it comes like a lightbulb. 
"Nowhere, just unfinished business." 
"I’m guessing Steve did his job and scared them away." 
Your jaw tightens and fist clenches. You look over to Wanda crying in her boyfriend's arms.
"Tell me what he did," you spoke.
"What?" She asks. 
"What did Steve do to your brother?"
Tumblr media
The door to Steve’s office opens with a loud slam. You stomp inside with a scowl on your face. 
He furrows his brows at you, standing in front of his desk with a few papers in hand. "Y/N? You're here?" 
You slam your bag onto his desk and he winces at the sound. "Why did you do it?" 
"What are you talking about?" He shakes his head in confusion. 
"You know exactly what I'm talking about!" you shout at him. "Why did you do it?" 
He places his hand on his hip and shakes the papers in his other. "Y/N, I don't know what you're talking about,” he repeats. “Is everything alright?”
"Why the hell did you take his eye?!" you blurt out. 
Steve stands back. His lips tilt down as if irritated. "How do you know that?" 
You scoff. "What? You thought I wouldn't find out?" 
He throws his papers onto his desk. "It's something you didn't need to worry about.” 
"It's about me!” you pointed to yourself with both hands. “If anyone is supposed to be worried it's supposed to be me!" your voice begins to rise. "He's Wanda's brother!" And Wanda's my friend!” 
"I don't care whose brother he is. What he did was wrong!" he says, voice beginning to rise as well. "I can't believe you're defending the guy that wrote all that bullshit about you. I was defending you." 
You pinch the bridge of your nose in frustration. "I'm not saying what he did was right. It's the fact that you decided to take it into your own hands that I’m against." 
Steve clicks his tongue. "He deserved what he got,” he spat. 
The anger residing in your veins begins to boil.  "And who made you the judge? You're not the one that's supposed to make that decision!" you shouted at him. 
“I’m the kingpin!” he yelled. “I run things around here. Anyone who goes against me will suffer the consequences!” 
You stand back, but don’t back down. "So it wasn't really about me,” you chuckled sadly. "It was about you and your overinflated ego!" you spat.
"I never said that!" he argues with arms spread at his sides.  
"You just did!” you retorted. “It's all about how people see you. You don’t wanna ruin the perfect image you have for yourself,” you jeer. "You’re not the king of the world. You're just a filthy mobster!" 
Steve’s jaw ticks at your words. Even under his stone cold expression, your words manage to hurt him. Maybe if it was someone else he wouldn’t have cared, but hearing those words from you hurt more than it should’ve. It feels all too familiar. A lot like memories he’s buried six feet under. 
“If that’s what you think then why the hell are you still here?" he states, cold enough that it has shivers running down your spine. "Maybe you should just leave!" 
Your fuse simmered with his words. 
You never said you wanted to leave. 
Your hands balled into fists and your nostrils flared. "Maybe I should!" you barked. You yanked your bag off his desk making the papers fly off as you rushed out the door. 
Steve swallows deeply as he sees you leave. He wants to run after you but his feet feel like they’re cemented to the ground. Steve swipes a hand through his hair and lets out a deep, exhausted sigh. 
A knock comes at the door and he turns to see Bucky standing in the doorframe. Half hidden as if he was afraid. 
"Uh, is everything okay?" he asks warily. 
Steve’s shoulders drop and a frown forms on his face. "No, no it's not,” he shakes his head. 
"I've made a really big mistake."

I loved the animal crossing vs karasuno boys hcs u did!! Do u think u could do another one with a different team? Maybe nekoma but u can choose whatever!! Thank u 😊
AAAAAAHHH This has been sitting in my drafts almost-completely finished for MONTHS and I’m FINALLY GONNA POST IT! Thank you for the request, I love Nekoma so, so, so much! (Fukunaga please call me. I’ll do all the talking)
(( Also also since I did all boy villagers in the Karasuno one, this one has all girl villagers))
Tumblr media
LONG POST BELOW!
Kuroo Tetsurou
“Celia is so pretty!~ I love her so much!”
Kuroo’s attention snapped to you, doing his best to keep his face neutral as his brain went rocketing off in the worst direction possible. Pretty? Pretty girl? You like a pretty girl?
He had no room to judge, he also liked pretty girls. But there’s no way you liked this pretty girl more than you liked him, right? Right?
He pulled his attention back to the practice match just in time to avoid getting wailed in the face with a volleyball, able to turn it into a clumsy receive at the last possible second. If his teammates noticed, they were at least kind enough not to call him out.
When he sidled up to you at the end of practice he did his best to sound fake concerned, not legitimately worried.
“You replacing me with some cute girl? I could hear you mooning from all the way on the court, you know?”
You just laughed and shook your head, lifting your phone to show a character from the game you and Kenma had been gushing about. Your phone lockscreen had been set to a picture of an, admittedly adorable, cartoon eagle.
“I finally found someone who had Celia in their town. I wanted her so bad!”
Kuroo snorted, ruffling the top of your head. “Well I’m glad you got her. Next time give me a warning before you start going all mushy for video game birds, alright?”
Kai Nobuyuki
“Oh, Lily! Lily, you’re so beautiful!”
Kai barely gave more than a twitch to indicate that he’d heard what you’d said. He’d heard you gush about celebrities or anime characters you’d liked before, but not to the degree that you’d call them just by their first name.
“New favorite character?” He offered, continuing to pack his practice bag and try not to look too curious about who you were fawning over.
Luckily for him, you were more than happy to supply the answer yourself, squiggling under his arm and holding your Switch up to his face so he could see your colorfully-dressed character sitting at a picnic table with an adorable cartoon frog.
“She’s so cute! I can’t believe I got her in my town.” “I didn’t know you liked frogs so much.” He breathed a silent sigh of relief, feeling silly for letting himself worry, even the tiniest bit.
“Yeah, well she’s the cutest frog!”
“Cuter than most frogs I’ve seen.”
Kai fought a smile as you began passionately debating the cuteness of real life frogs, tugging you a little bit closer with his arm.
Yaku Morisuke
“Ah, Cleo! How could anyone ever be so cute?”
Yaku didn’t much enjoy it when you called him cute, but hearing you call somebody else cute was somehow a thousand times worse. He could swear he felt his own blood pressure spike with that sentence alone.
“Ooh! Who’s cute?”
And there’s Lev. So much for his blood pressure.
You held up your phone screen to Lev and he began nodding along in agreement with you, which somehow made Yaku feel even more irritated than he already did. A stray volleyball rolled across the floor near him, and he sent it spiralling into Lev’s lower back with a kick.
“Quit talking about cute girls and focus on your receives, shithead!”
“OWWWW!!! Yaku-senpai, so mean! You could’ve missed! Then how would you feel?”
“Get back on the court, Lev.”
“I’m sorry!” You said when you pulled Yaku aside after practice. “I just was just really excited about Animal Crossing, I didn’t mean to distract Lev.”
“Animal….. Crossing?”
“Yeah! I got a really cute villager!” You held up your phone and showed Yaku a picture of the pastel horse that had just moved into your village.
“...Oh. Cleo.”
“Mhm!... Are you okay? You’re turning a little red. Maybe you should drink some more water.”
Kozume Kenma
“Rosie! Oh, Rosie is definitely best girl.”
Despite being very well-versed in Animal Crossing, it still caught Kenma off-guard for a half a second to hear you so openly mooning about your favorite villager. Luckily for him the two of you had been talking about Animal Crossing since the new game was announced, so he’d had plenty of time to get to know your favorites.
“Did you find someone to trade with you?”
“Yep! I just need to get Egbert to leave so she can move in! Get outta here, chicken!”
Resting his chin on your shoulder, Kenma watched with a small smile as you started building cliffs around the perimeter of Egbert’s house, determined to get him to move away. Maybe someday he’d have to deal with the discomfort of hearing you openly moon about someone attractive. Thankfully, today was not that day.
Fukunaga Shouhei
“You’re so perfect, Ellie! Don’t ever leave!”
Fukunaga glanced at you and quirked an eyebrow, but you were far too immersed in your Switch screen to notice. Your expression had dropped into this soft, moony-eyed gaze, one that Fukunaga wasn’t used to seeing directed at anything that wasn’t him when you thought he wasn’t looking.
It felt… weird.
“Oh! Shouhei, do you wanna see?” You finally seemed to notice him glancing in your direction, scooting over to show off your screen. “Ellie was moving out of Kenma’s town and he let me take her! Isn’t she cute?”
While your character ran circles around the little tan elephant all Shouhei could do was watch you smile with a warm, fuzzy feeling blooming in his chest.
“Second cutest here.” He quietly replied.
Yamamoto Taketora
“Molly! She’s so cute I can’t even handle it!”
Normally Yamamoto would find the idea of you fawning over a cute girl to be equally cute. That way the two of you could fawn over cute girls together!
But it was significantly less fun when it meant that one hundred percent of your attention was on your phone and zero percent of your attention was on him. He spent the majority of the day landing awesome spikes only to snap his attention towards you and see you fully immersed in your phone screen.
Finally his not-so-quiet grumbling about your lack of attention got the better of Kuroo and he hollered over to you, asking what you were looking at. Before Yamamoto could shush him you raised your phone, showing off an adorable cartoon duck.
“I finally got Molly in my town!”
Kuroo burst into laughter as a blush crawled its way across Yamamoto’s face and up to the tips of his ears, taking a swing at Kuroo to try and get him to shut up.
Haiba Lev
“She’s so stoic and cool. How can you not be completely in love with Whitney?”
“I can be stoic and cool.” Lev grumbled.
“She’s got such pretty white hair and sharp eyes.”
“I’ve got white hair and sharp eyes.”
“I should get her some flowers.”
“Can’t you get your boyfriend some flowers?”
“Hm? Lev, hun, did you say something?”
He’d been quietly murmuring under his breath since you started gushing about Animal Crossing but honestly, how could you not? Whitney was one of your dreamies and finally, after many a Nook Mile Ticket spent, you finally had her on your island. Maybe you had been going on about it for a bit, though.
“I’m sorry, Lev! I’m just excited. I wanna know what you said though!”
Lev puffed up, jabbing his thumb into his chest. “I’ve got all those things you love about this Whitney girl so much, so you shouldn’t need anyone else!” You stared at him in disbelief for a long, painfully awkward moment, before snorting hard as you dissolved into laughter.
“H-Hey!”
I’m sorry! I’m sorry, I shouldn’t laugh!” You choke out between giggles, just silently holding up your Switch to Lev’s face to show off your character presenting some roses to a cartoon wolf…
… Named Whitney.
You don’t think you’ve ever seen someone turn that shade of red before.
“W-W-Well she must be your favorite because she’s so much like me! Right? Right?!”
Good save, Lev. Good save.
Inuoka Sou
“Piper’s just so cool and chill! That’s why she’s my absolute favorite.”
Oh. Oh! You liked cool and chill people? Inuoka had no idea. But that’s okay! He can be cool! He can be chill!
“Dude, you okay? You’re like… Vibrating.”
At least, that’s what Inuoka had thought at the beginning of the day. Truthfully he had no skill when it came to containing his energy, especially since every time he saw you it felt like his heart was doing the equivalent of spam texting you a dozen lines of heart emojis. By the time he had gotten to the end of practice he felt jittery and uncomfortable, like he’d been holding a lid down on a boiling pot of water. He just hadn’t been acknowledging it until Yamamoto pointed it out.
“Sou?” You had been waiting for him outside the gym! Waiting! For him! His heart felt like it did a kickflip off the inside of his ribcage as he enveloped you in a hug.
“I tried! I tried to be calm and chill like you like but I just can’t do it! And whenever I see you my heart goes a RAAAAAHHH so it’s basically impossible anyway! I hope you don’t mind!”
“Whoa, whoa, whoa! Hang on.” You cupped his face in your hands and he melted into your hold, smiling like an idiot. “When did I say I like calm, chill guys?”
“This morning, you were talking about some girl named Piper and you said she was so calm and cool and that's why you liked her so I thought if I could be like that you’d like me more too and-”
You pressed a finger to his lips and he couldn’t help but sigh, turning to putty at your merest touch.
“Babe, I was talking about a character from my game! You know, the one with all the animals?”
“Really?”
“Really?”
“So I don’t need to act all calm and cool for you to like me?”
“Of course not! I love you just the way you are.”
“Heehee~… I feel a little silly.”
“You are a little silly, babe.”
Shibayama Yuuki
“I’m in love! Flora is so perfect! I’ve never loved so much in my life!”
Shibayama stumbled over his own two feet when he heard you professing your love of this ‘Flora’ to one of your classmates during lunch. Glancing just around the door to your classroom, you were holding your phone in one hand and wildly gesturing with the other, leaving your friend chuckling at your excited antics.
He felt an uncomfortable sort of chill in the pit of his stomach, making his just-eaten lunch feel more than a bit unwelcome. Did you even like this Flora more than...him?
It was easy to tell that Shibayama was a bit out of it at practice, doing his best to stay focused but still uncharacteristically quiet. It wasn’t until you met him after practice to walk home that everything was cleared up to him.
“S-So, um… Who’s Flora?”
“Huh? Oh! Oh, lemme show you!”
You pulled out your Switch and ran your little character over to a flamingo and began talking to her, and Shibayama felt all the tension in his body rush out in a single breath. He let out a small chuckle as you fawned over the character.
“Yeah, she’s pretty cute!”

tw; homophobia, and, well, sirius’s horrible relationship with his parents.
Remus was thoroughly exhausted. 
First of all, the scalding coffee he’d gotten to keep himself awake decided to spill over his chest, staining his second favourite sweatshirt. 
Second of all, Remus was never supposed to take the night shift at the library that night, but Peter just had to have flaked out on him for god knows what reason. 
On top of that, he’d only remembered the lack of milk in the house in the nick of time, which would be a disaster for Lily and him with both of their crippling addictions to coffee. And now, the bloody bag that the supermarket had given him just had to tear as he frantically ran to the bus stop.
So here he was, sitting on this almost empty bus- because really, who the hell rides public transport at god knows what in the night- trying not to completely lose it. 
Nothing could make this god foresaken day any better.
Remus was convinced of it.
That was, until the most beautiful being he’d ever seen wearily stumbled into the bus, oblivious to Remus’s eyes following him, and fell into the double seat opposite to Remus’s, backpack flung next to him.
The man was wearing an old and torn leather jacket over a faded Pink Floyd shirt that hugged his torso. Rugged, torn jeans revealed bloodied knees, and messy, dark hair was sprawled over the seat.
Remus suddenly felt self conscious in his stained jumper and uncombed curls. The man didn’t even notice him, but Remus still felt the sudden urge to tidy himself up.
The man’s chest rose and fell steadily, as if in deep sleep. Remus must’ve stared at him for long, before he felt his phone vibrate from his back pocket, which pulled him back into the gloom of the horrible day he was having.
(02:13) You back yet???
(02:13) I can’t do this essay w/out my precious coffee!
(02:13) Remus please!!
(02:13) Where even are you??
(02:14) Oh my god i just realised something might’ve happened to you
(02:14) Are you okay??
(02:14) Please reply if you’re okay!
(02:14) Remus???
(02:14) I’m worried
(02:15) I’m going to call the policd if you don’t come soon
(02:15) *police
With a tired sigh, Remus put down the two bottles of milk onto the seat, hoping to any god above that they wouldn’t fall down and cause a tsunami. He crossed his legs, and texted Lily back.
(02:17) yeah, lily, I’m okay.
(02:17) please don’t call the police or something
(02:17) poor guys need a rest from you
Remus was in the middle of typing what was to be a 100 word rant containing every detail about his horrible day, when he heard muffled cries and moans of pain. For a moment he looked around wildly, before seeing the same beautiful man, now disturbed and flinching in his sleep. 
The man’s leather jacket ruffled against the fabric of the seat, his legs flailing lightly while he struggled in a fetal position.
Remus hopped over to the seat the man was struggling in, and gently pushed his shoulder, shoving harder when the man grew more panicked.
Suddenly, the movement and struggling stopped. Remus was terrified for a split second, as if the man had died. But the man slowly climbed up, looking more vulnerable than ever, eyes filled with fear. His chest heaved with heavy breaths, and his arms fell at his sides, before he noticed Remus’s concerned gaze fall over him.
“I’m so sorry,” he said hastily, looking down and biting his lip.
“It’s fine, don’t worry about it. Are- are you okay?”
“I’m uh- I- I’m good, yeah,” 
“Are you sure? I mean, I know it’s none of my business, but are you okay?”
The man took a deep breath, and faced Remus, His eyes said it all. The grief and agony almost shone through, like beacons through piercing grey clouds. They were glassy, and it was like the universe hid behind them. Remus was drowning in the ocean of stories hidden in behind, only a broken sob bringing him back to earth.
Remus couldn’t stop himself as he blurted the question out. “What happened? Sorry,” he added. “That was... intrusive- I mean-”
The man gave a small, dry chuckle. “It’s okay. But- it’s a- a long story. You wouldn’t want to know.”
“I don’t mind,” mumbled Remus, pulling his sleeves up and relaxing in the seat.
“You sure? You’re in for a ride.”
“Honestly, anything to distract me from my shitty day.”
“O- okay. Shit- I was- It was- great earlier, brilliant in fact,” started the man. “My br- friend and I- we were hanging out at this restaurant. But- we were holding hands and all- we’re really not together, he’s just my friend. Pretty much my brother. But it didn’t look like that. Heh, unfortunately for us, my fucking horrible biological parents walked in then- and they- shit wait-” The man’s eyes widened in fear. “You aren’t homophobic, are you?”
“What- no, of course not,” assured Remus, voice tinged with surprise, getting a relieved grin from the man.
The man extended his arm. An air of confidence and bravado seemed to surround him now. “By the way, stranger, I’m Sirius- like the star.”
Remus hesitantly took it, a shy grin creeping up his face. “Remus Lupin.”
“Nice to meet you, Remus. Now, where was I? Oh- right- my brilliant parents. Well, they are the absolute epitome of bigotry. Homophobic, racist, sexist- you name it. Obviously- they- they weren’t the happiest at seeing me. We haven’t- I haven’t seen them in five years,” trailed Sirius, getting quieter. “They- uh- disowned me. When I was a teenager- for- um- they saw me- me- kissing another boy.”
“Hey, it’s okay. It’s okay.”
“So being the idiot I was- I- I might’ve walked up to them, and- well- y’know- flaunted my- well- very bisexual existence. I really don’t know what I expected. As you can probably see- um-” Sirius waved over to his legs, jeans torn and bloodied, and face, a fresh cut over his sharp cheekbone.
“Shit, I’m sorry,” said Remus, almost at a loss for words. “I- oh god- your parents are horrible- and I mean- I know I’ve only met you, but if there’s any way I could help, I would.”
Sirius rubbed his neck sheepishly, and a smile- that might’ve made Remus’s heart flutter- covered his face. “Thanks. A lot. For, well, listening- I mean- I know I probably overshared.”
“No, it’s not problem.”
The bus came to a turn, and then a screeching halt, which found both Remus and Sirius swaying near each other, both getting flustered, and Remus blushing a little.
Sirius swung his bag over his shoulder, and grabbed Remus’s hand. He hastily wrote something with a pen he produced from his pocket. Remus blushed, and his heart raced as he saw numbers scribbled onto his skin.
“I’ve told you my story,” Sirius said with a smirk, before turning away and strutting down the bus aisle. “I’d love someday for you to tell me yours.”

The Loud House Reviews: The Cow-Pie Kid and Saved by the Spell
Tumblr media
Welcome back Loudiacs.. I .. don’t know what the fandom calls themselves. And given I dont’ know anyone personally in the fandom and the going into the tag is like living in a living nightmare.. it’s easier to keep workshopping a name till either someone tells me or I find one that sounds right. Loudites.. there we go that didn’t take long. Point is we’re back in The Loud House, In The Loud House for the first regular coverage, i.e. when I cover a show as It comes out of the season. And I was lucky enough to actually see the episode same day this time and with a promo that at least gives me images to work with, so yeah, i’m pretty pumped. And not just because I can cross this one off because SOMEBODY has a birthday tommorow.. no not me, that was last month. 
Tumblr media
There ya go. But yeah the show’s back. I’m excited, your excited, i’m scared because nick dosen’t give a clear schedule out ahead of time so i’m left wondering when one’s going to pop up and when to get it on my schedule now I have one... it’s a good time. Seriously though Nick needs to get their scheduling in order. So i’m happy to be back, your happy to have me here, but probably not happy to have spoilers so let’s take this under the cut and we can talk about cow pies, magic, and ... how this block is weirdly almost all lincoln episodes. 
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The Cow-Pie Kid:  Yeah.. this was the only bit from cow pie kid I could find. Tons of stuff to mine from for saved by the spell. Nothing for that one. Weird.  Anyways our story opens with Lynn’s baseball team, who we’ve met before.. and include friends who have played other sports with her and that guy she had a crush on for all of five minutes because the writers kinda forgot L is for Love happened for anyone but Luna and Luann. 
Tumblr media
Okay look MOST of the love intrests introduced there were not great and while Lincoln needs one NOW, at the time he really did not as the Ronnie Anne thing had not, and still has not, been properly resolved. Still vastly prefer him with Stella and her with Sid, i’m just saying closure would be nice.  Look i’m getting off topic point is one besides Sam, who was great out of the gate and not just for being gay.. though that was a lot of it, and Benny, whose objectively a really sweet kid and damn likeable. Luaggie shippers feel free to boo me, I understand.. dosen’t change my mind or the fact Poly exists to fix that. I mean why not both I ask you.  Besides them, we had Chazz, a loveable chubby guy who Leni was into and worked at clothing store and knew his fashion stuff. and was charmed by her romantic gesture. He just seemd sweet and it was implied via background stuff they were still dating.. but he hasnt’ shown up since despite her working AT the mall and that being her main arc for the last two seasons. 
Tumblr media
Just why? What’s wrong with the chubby fashion boy? Why? Did they decide they had too many romance arcs.. at exactly two? I get focusing on sam, because duh, and because that was awesome.. but you’ve had 2 full seasons since then and again Leni and him now work in the same location if not the same store, which in itself is a plot. I don’t ask much from you show.. well okay I do but let me clarify I don’t ask much from you that you could actually do: I know i’m never getting my a diffrent world style spinoff with lori and bobby. I know Zach is going nowhere and i’m just going to have to get over it, I will not, but I DO know you could include chaz and just won’t. So do that at least. I will put up with several more seasons of Zach if it means this adorable love story continues. It’s even easy enough to pick up this late: they are both stupid. Work with that. Gah... coach if you’d please. 
Tumblr media
Thanks coach. Okay so one tangent later we’re back to the episode. Point is her team is loosing even though Lynn’s the captain now, and while she’s perfectly encouraging it’s not winning games. Lynn is understandably dejected in the car not helped by the sports commentor guys from the game... commenting about it on the radio...

I mean.. I get sports can have dry spots and all that but who covers a middle school basketball team on the radio that isn’t the middle school radio station. I mean I genuinely can’t decide which is more sad... a radio personality doing a children’s baseball game on his own show, or having so much trouble getting one that he’s apperaing on the middle school radio show. And I COULD say it’s just a guest spot but he’s talking like he knows what’s going on intmatiley> Did his daughter ask him to? I mean I know radio’s fallen pretty far but I dind’t think it was that much in the basement. Do a podcast at least man. 
Okay before I go on another Tangent point is Lynn feels it’s her fault as Captain.. which granted whoever the coach is should be .. but it genuinely looks like they don’t HAVE a coach. Maybe they had to sack him to pay for the newly refrubished av department? I dunno. Point is she feels bad and Lynn Sr vows to cheer her up.. before stopping for farm fresh eggs. Which.. yeah can’t blame him. He’s a cook, and Liam’s family likely has good prices. He can buy for both home and restraunt at once. I mean he has a van and only one occupant at the moment. Don’t judge him.  But this little detour DOES help Lynn’s mood. Her problem is the team lacks a decent pitcher, since Lynn herself was banned for throwing one at a heckling goat. The Lawsuit is ongoing and that made me laugh a lot. But Lynn finds Happy Gilmore style that Liam.. has a really great arm. Granted instead of actuall balls it’s with cowpies because this series really loves a shit joke, hence the title and the new nickname for liam, the cow pie kid.. but compared to some of the series toilet humor it’s a lot less in your face. But with Liam being so good Lynn can’t help but sign him to the team and Liam being a sweetie pie is happy to agree.  I have.. not hid even for a second how much I liked Liam or wanted him, and Stella, to show up outside of Lincoln episodes more often, or even get his own again. That day.. has come. Not only does LIam now have a roll entirely outside his friend group, but this episode’s about him and Lynn together.. not in that way.. yet. Someday.. Point is my boy is in the spotlight and I could not be happier.   And thankfully.. Lynn’s at her best. What I feared would be an episode about her overtraining him and making him not enjoy the game, htat old chesnut instead.. she just genuinely helps mentor him. She’s tough but fair as she helps him get his aim right as he’s used to firing Cow Pie’s, so the weight distrbution is off. So she helps train him and .. it’s really cute honestly, with her genuinely helping him and showing a softer side and later realizing she had him thinking about it too hard and just having him not think.. and going by instinct naturally works for a carefree and easygoing guy like liam. Wouldn’t be suprised if he went ultra instinct eventually.. but that’s for another episode. They also have a pig pile together.. which sounds bad but is just pigs piling on liam and lynn gladly gets on top of the pigs and god that sounds worse. next scnee. 
So Liam gets ahead and becomes the star pitcher for the zanarkand abes.. I mean the Royal Woods Kangaroos, and they just keep wining and wining and wining. Their like glomgold: all they do is win... but probably with less attempted corpse dancing. Problem is as we see during the montage Liam’s arm is slowly but surley getting cramped and while he wins hte next game.. his arm gives out from noodle arm. The good news is with rest, he can fix it, as her injury prone friend Paula, whose somehow allowed to play with crutches despite ALL the legal and moral issues that raises explains. but they don’t have days to rest it. So insane plans it is!  So Lynn goes to her sisters for herlp..specifically lisa int he hopes her mad science can either fix his pain or turn him into the hulk. Neither happens.. yet. I mean LIam is so sweet if he IS a hulk, we won’t know yet. But the green door will.. it always knows. IT ALWAYS KNOWS.  Lynn bemonas her luck.. before Lucy appears!
Tumblr media
I JUST said last month when reviewing 11 louds a leapin that I missed the duo of her and lynn and lo and behold here we are. While we dno’t get much of the two fo them, it is still nice to see Lynn suprised by her scares and Lucy trying to use the dark arts to heal his pain.. which actually works. Lucy’s upgraded from wants to be a witch to full witch. 
Tumblr media
So yeah her dark magic works and now Liam is fine just fine as the championship game approaches. Until naturally it isn’t. While Lucy STOPPED the pain, she didn’t make anything better, just numbed it so Liam’s arm’s pretty bad and Lisa suggests there’s a 70 perfecnt chance he’ll wreck it if he does so.. and while Lynn is naturlaly, given one of her main traits is asshole, ready to risk that.. she realizes she can’t. Rusty is on her team following her orders.. and no matter how good a W feels.. she can’t trade in someone’s health for one. Honestly bettter than most sports managers ngl. So Paula subs in and misses, loosing them the game.. but Lynn. takes it in stride, having realized she can win next year and having finally realized what being the leader REALLY means. She can work on paula’s curve, give Liam a break, and win next time... which she’ll have because time dosen’t work normally in this show’s dimension and a solid timeline is just a pipedream, so she probably has another year of being 14 to redo this and has become aware of it. I’m scared and excited for what that means.  Liam celebrates with a pig pile of two and we get a REALLY fucking cute shot of the two being happy and what not before a pig jumps on them still though.. yeah I ship it now. Liam taps into the space where I thought a black void of misery and douchebaggery was but ti turns out is in fact a heart, something few can do with Lynn and Lynn can protect him form bullies and is perfectly suited for his rough hewn farmboy styles. Point is their cut.e And so was this episode. IT was a really nice return to the series and it was again REALLY fucking great to see one of Lincoln’s firend,s and one of the GOOD ones at that, get a starring roll without him. HOpefully this keeps up and hopefully we see more of these two. 
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Saved by the Spell:
RUSTY SPOKES IS TRASH (Ring) I don’t have a saved by the spell font that’ll have to do. Point is he is but before we get to Rusty being Rusty, Lincoln is doing magic tricks at the table. 
youtube
Point is he’s excited to do it at the talent show. The next day his friends discuss doing something to make them look cool to everyone. WHich.. kids. i’ll level with you. You. are. NERDS. As a massive one in both size and nerdiness myself, there’s nothing wrong with that. 2/3 of you are lovely people. You’ll be fine. But you are geeks, and should be proud of that.. not so proud you evolve into an incel or it’s adjacent form of assholes mind you, but still proud of who you are. You are never going to be that cool by trying to appeal to everyone. Just be yourslef and the cool comes naturaly. Like kool aid, which is naturally made by milking the Kool Aid man. Be you. 
But instead they decide to do a dance routine which..  let’s face it.. is probably just this spread across 6 people...
Tumblr media
Point is maybe don’t do that. Also when Clyde does a dorky but endearing dance and says their going to shake their groove things, Rusty pipes in with “But cool”... and while sadly not as glorious as EVERYONE looking enitrely done with him like last time we saw this tool, Clyde clearly still does while the rest of hte Lincrew have no idea what the hell he’s on. I think their just.. numb to his stupidity and ego at this point.  But when Lincoln shows off his magic they all hide him, fearing that magic.. is well for younger kids and this won’t play so well. Which isn’t an invalid fear: this is middle school and from personal experince, middle school can be hell.. and also one of hte best years of my life which shows the vast gulf between the two schools I was in but was also not the point. the point is kids can be cruel and maybe don’t do this. But lincoln gonna do it anyway because he has confidence.. and frankly given there was an ENTIRE episode about being yourself instead of putting on an asshole suit of armor to avoid being hurt, which Lynn finally took off again last episode, he’s right.. but the rest of them all feel THEIR ALL GOING TO LAUGH AT YOU. and since they don’t know if he has latent psychic powers or not can’t risk him getting pigs blood dumped on him so they plan to find some way to trick him out of it.. Clyde of course gets his stomach in nots because he’s not good with schemes or lying ot his best friend, both of which this is and requires. 
Also Stella’s in the lead, as she should be. And she helps as her positive attudie makes what their doing come off as it should: KINDA douchey, but not intentionally so, they just worry about hteir freind getting pummled.. possibly by his own sister but now sh’es possibly with Liam that’s probably not as much of a worry. Or Chandler but frankly he’s going to do that no matter what.. and is probably getting his ass kicked himself by older kids who won’t toldeate his bs, so your clear. But their fears while a bit unfounded are understandable and well inteitoned if misguided, as we don’t know LIncoln’s act at this point or how well it’d go over with a mostly tweenager crowd, who can be the best as we’ve seen in recent tv.. or aboslutel monsters.. same deal. You either get Luz or you get BOscha, the inbetween is rare. 
So cue our usual setup of a bunch of attempts to do something in a row, but like I said while i’m not a fan of reptition if it’s done well enough it works and with it’s rather sizeable supporting cast , LIncoln and Friends episodes usdually do make it work. In this case it does as each of the sensational 6, lincoln and clyde asid,e try their hand at it. Liam, being the golden child, just has the most direct and obvious route: swipe his magic stuff.. and runs off without letting them talk it out but unlike Rusty in the next attempt, his plan was actually viable.. he just gets tangled up in the scarves and taps out.  Rusty is next ....and his idea is to.. show lincoln his killer dance moves to convince him normally. 
Tumblr media
Yup pretty much that. And somehow out of the four plans, RUSTY’S is the only one that dosen’t bring up any serious moral quandries. I know i’m shocked too. He just thinks his moves will do it when no they won’t, please stop it hurts to watch and I can’t turn the fuck away. This is my job you redheaded kanker sore! Gah it thankfully ends and is unsurisingly unsuccesful. 
Tumblr media
Also unsuprisingly, i’ve been waiting since i got that image to use it on Rusty. And as a third dollop of unsuprise I did not have to force it in any way shape or form. Point is it’s Zach’s turn as during the last two he’s been pushing really hard to use some form of brainwashing on his friend.. yes .. really. 
Tumblr media
Thought Rusty would be the first loud house character to get that one but hey if the shoe fits. Seriously I thought rusty was the creep among them but at least you know.. altering someone’s throughts to suit your own isn’t his go to move. Being excetsivly cocky and coming on too strong is but still better to take THAT out of the Zach Morris playbook than “brainwash people into dooing whatever you say because tha’ts not creeptagious.” And unsurpsingly it does not work.. on Lincoln it woroks on Meyrl for some reason. Thankfully it dosen’t though just.. Zach needs no power epsiecally over the mind. 
So UNSUPRSINGLY, Stella has the working plnan.. and also unsuprisingly the last three just did theres by running off, running off and shouting the loudest. Again somehow Rusty is NO LONGER the most obnoxious one of the group. Zach won that title this episode. He’s still the most pathetic.. but i’m the most done with Zach who adds nothing to the dynamic or the planet or anything and I wish would just go away. Your home planet needs you. 
But yeah Stella has the winning idea: pretending to be “Yodel Boy”, a student who was humilated at a talent show last year, proving sh’es not only a decent actress (I mean it’s obvious i’ts stella in a wig, padding and lederhosen, but points for the accent being okay and hey she’s in middle school), but also the smartest of them. Only one of those is a suprise. It works and Lincoln agrees. 
So the night of the talent show they’ve caught him up to speed and prepare to celebrate, only for clyd eto open the wrong locker and reveal the yodel boy suit. WHy it was in there instead of at Stella’s house where this wouldn’t happen?
Tumblr media
But yeah the cat’s out of the bag and lincoln leaves, depressed his friends think that little of him and lied to him. Which.. yeah completely fair. They tried talking to him, it did not work.. they shoudl’ve just left it at that. It would’ve SUCKED if he got bullied true, but it was his choice to go out there and take a risk and do what he loves. As someone whose constnatly self concious and had to fight to start writing like i’m doing now, I envy that kind of youthful confidence and thus wholly support him. 
And finally.. so do his friends. Realizing they’ve been kinda crappy, they introduce lincoln instead and work as his assitants.. and.. it works. Stella gets sawn in half, Zach gets astounded by a card trick, and Liam wears a bunny outfit which is just.. precious. Good boy. Best boy. It’s a huge hit.. and we also get to seesome of the new background kids including one with pink hair who looks kinda nb. I’m just saying one of you should take a crack at them, they seem nice. But for now our heroes are haield as heroes, and the other 5 apologize to lincon and they do their now cemented and fucking adorable group hug. Happy ending to a pretty great episode, with decent gags, a good relatable plot, and Rusty being just the right amoutn of obnoxious. Good stuff.  So that does it for this week. If you liked this review like or reblog it, check out my other work and come back later today for some duck content. and every week once the show returns. Until the next rainbow, it’s been a pleasure.

[ 365 Days of SasuHina || Day Three Hundred Two: A Pile of Papers ] [ Uchiha Sasuke, Hyūga Hinata, Uzumaki Naruto, Hatake Kakashi, Sarutobi Hiruzen, Umino Iruka, Tazuna ] [ SasuHina, alcohol ] [ Verse: A Light Amongst Shadows ] [ AO3 Link ]
“Man, this stinks!”
Three little genin stand just outside the administration building, awaiting the (as usual, late) arrival of their sensei. Sasuke leans coolly against the exterior, arms crossed with closed eyes as he appears to doze. Hinata sits nearby on a bench, looking prim as always with hands on her lap. And she’s currently watching Naruto stomp around and throw a bit of a fit.
“W-what stinks?” she asks, head tilting a bit. They’re about to get a new mission, after all...doesn’t he always look forward to them?
“This! The whole thing!” the blond proclaims, hands throwing up in the air. “Y’know the minute we get in there, we’re gonna get another lame D-rank mission for babies! We’ve been training super hard with Kakashi-sensei, and for what? We’ve been doin’ D-rank assignments for weeks, and it’s gettin’ real old!”
“For once...I have to agree with Naruto,” Sasuke then admits, drawing both their gazes. Eyes open, he looks to them both mildly. “We’re more than ready for a real mission. Walking dogs and doing yard work is beneath us. Even for Naruto, those are too easy.”
“Yeah -! Wait...what was that least part?” the Uzumaki asks, squinting.
A hint of a grin pulls at Sasuke’s lips. “You heard me, dead last. Take it as a compliment - it means that even you need a better challenge than the missions we’ve been getting.”
“Tch!” Arms fold tightly over his chest, shoulders hunching with a pout.
“Well, we’ve a-all been doing a lot better,” Hinata cuts in as the pair go quiet. “Our teamwork especially! Surely if we work together we could...w-we could handle something a bit tougher than what we have been doing...right?”
“Exactly!” Naruto crows, sour mood just as quickly forgotten as it arrived. “So, when we go in there, we all gotta insist we get something better, okay? Maybe if we all ask - no, demand! - we’ll finally get listened to!”
“Well...it’s worth a shot,” Sasuke shrugs. He’s not one to beg or whine, but...maybe the only way they’ll get to advance in the mission roster is by being more vocal.
“O-okay!” The Hyūga gives a smile. “Maybe Kakashi-sensei will s-side with us, and help convince Sarutobi-sama!”
“He did praise us last time we all trained,” Sasuke muses. “...maybe he will.”
“Maybe I’ll what?”
The trio then turn to spy none other than Kakashi, Naruto rushing up and blurting out his plan.
A silver brow perks. “You want to move up in ranks, do you…?”
“Yeah, yeah! We’re bored of all these D-ranks, Kakashi-sensei! Can’t we do something more exciting for once…?”
“Hm…” He rubs a hand over his clothed chin. “So...you want a mission that’ll entertain you, is that it?”
“Yeah!”
“...missions aren’t about being entertained,” Kakashi then rebukes, making Naruto flinch. “They’re about doing what needs to be done. It’s not about having fun, or the rush, or getting to boast. Sooner or later, you’ll learn that missions are a lot more serious than you give them credit for.”
Further back, both Sasuke and Hinata seem to hesitate.
“Okay, okay!” Naruto admits. “I get it, really! But I mean...don’t you think we’re past doing the low level stuff? We’re ready, aren’t we? Don’tcha think?”
“Well...we’ll see what they have available,” Kakashi replies vaguely, not reacting as Naruto gives a whoop and a holler. “But I can’t make any promises...in the end, it’s up to the ones running the mission directory.”
Hinata wilts a hair as Naruto’s celebration earns the group odd looks from older shinobi, Sasuke just sighing curtly. “Come on, let’s get going,” he mutters. “Standing out here isn’t going to get us any missions either way.”
The squad then moves inside, taking the stairs to the proper level where Hiruzen and Iruka await with the day’s current roster of missions. Upon seeing them, Iruka starts scanning the D-ranks before offering one to Hiruzen.
“Ah, here we are...a local farm is looking for help with -”
“No way!”
The entire room stutters, looking to Naruto as he stubbornly forms an x with his arms. Kakashi deadpans, Sasuke’s eye twitching, and Hinata glancing nervously between her teammate and the Hokage.
“...excuse me?” Iruka then cuts in, standing and slapping hands atop the mission desk. “It’s not your place to make such remarks, especially in front of the Hokage!”
“I’m tired of stupid D-ranks! I want a real shinobi mission! With bad guys and fighting and stuff!”
“Naruto, you -!”
Hiruzen lifts a hand, begging silence from his assistant. “So...you want a real mission…?” he asks, leafing through a pile of papers. “And do you really think you’re prepared for such a thing?”
“Yeah, we are! We’ve all been training super hard with Kakashi-sensei! He says we’re ready!”
The Hatake wilts a bit, clearly not wanting to be implicated.
“Naruto...you’re a new genin,” Hiruzen reminds the blond, chewing his pipe. “Our ranking systems for both missions and shinobi are in place to keep appropriately-leveled assignments to appropriately-leveled shinobi. Genin...get...D-ranks.”
Cheeks puffing, Naruto does the mature thing...and sinks to the floor, arms and legs folded.
His teammates both sigh.
Eyeing the boy, Hiruzen seems to think...and then chuckles. “...so, you think you’re ready for a better mission…? All right...I’ll give you one. To prove yourselves.”
The trio blink...and then brighten.
“Wait, really?” Naruto hops back to his feet, blues wide.
“Yes. It just so happens that I have a mission from Nami no Kuni. A client is in need of some escorts and bodyguards as they make their way from here in Konoha back to Nami. It’s a basic C-rank...surely you could pull it off, hm?”
“Yeah! We can do it! Right guys?”
Sasuke just gives a small smirk, Hinata brightening.
“So who are we escorting, huh?” Naruto’s eyes go starry, fists bunched under his chin. “Is it like...a princess? A diplomat? Huh, huh?”
“Don’t get your hopes up,” Kakashi mutters.
“Well, why don’t we just bring them in?” Hiruzen offers, still grinning as he gestures for the client to be fetched. “I’m sure you’re get along splendidly.”
The team turns, looking to the door into the room. After a pause, it slides open, and...reveals a man. In one hand he clutches a bottle, clearly already a bit sauced. A pack rests over his shoulders, outfit a bit dingy and expression clearly already annoyed.
“...are you serious?” he mutters, leaning against the door frame and swaying slightly. “Are you telling me that my guards back to Nami...are a couple of brats?”
The genin all turn to each other, unsure what to say.
“These three are led by the son of White Fang,” Hiruzen offers. “I assure you, for a C-rank mission, they’ll do just fine. It’s a simple escort, and not too far.”
The man’s jaw grits for a moment, which goes mostly unnoticed...save for Kakashi, whose eye narrows just a hair.
“Yeah, don’t worry mister! We’ll get ya there no problem!” Naruto crows proudly, hands on his hips.
“Like I’m gonna believe the words of a half-pint dimwit,” the man shoots back.
“Half...half-pint…?” Blinking, Naruto then grits his teeth in a snarl. “Hey! Height’s got nothin’ to do with it, you hear? I’m gonna be Hokage someday, so you better watch what you say, y’old coot!”
Behind him, Iruka sighs and buries his brow in a palm, Hiruzen looking amused.
“Naruto, please try not to insult your client,” Kakashi deadpans, biffing the blond upside the head.
“But he said -!”
“He’s paying you to keep him safe. He’s allowed to have his opinions...and judge how well of a job you do. If you mouth off, he might not pay as well. So...you should behave. A shinobi must have patience, even in the face of adversity. Even if the adversity is being insulted, hm?”
Naruto just harrumphs, arms folding tightly as his teammates sigh once more.
“Well, you lot better get going,” the Hokage offers, lips curled around his pipe. “The sooner you leave, the sooner Tazuna-san can return to his job building a bridge in Nami. Remember, you should be timely in your assignments.”
“Come on, Naruto,” Sasuke mutters, dragging the blond by the collar and following Tazuna out. “We’ve got a job to do - you were whining about doing D-ranks, so quit your complaining.”
Hinata follows, brow wilted uncertainly. “So...we have to take him all the way to Nami? Are there no shinobi there…?”
“No,” Kakashi offers, following his troupe. “Smaller lands like Nami have no resident shinobi force...and it’s from them many of the great shinobi villages get their business. So, best we make a good impression, hm? Now...you three go home, pack up gear for a trip of a few days, and meet back at the gate in twenty minutes. If you’re not there, we’ll leave without you.” He gives a closed-eye smile before flickering out of sight.
“...well, guess that’s our cue,” Sasuke mutters. “See you guys in twenty. And don’t be late, Naruto.”
“Me? What about you? I’ll be there in five minutes, just watch me!”
As the boys bicker, Hinata heaves yet another sigh. “Well...I-I’m going to get going...see you guys at the gate, okay?”
“Will do.”
“Yeah!”
                                                       .oOo.
     More team seven!Hinata! Which...I've done a few previous parts for, but atm I don't have time to find the rest to list, so...whoops ^^; I haven't done TOO much, but once the year is over, I'll work on organizing things :''D      Anyway, just basically the scene leading to Nami, but with Hinata replacing Sakura! I reallllly like this concept, and honestly really need to RP it, lol - buuut that's really all there is to this one, so...I'll stop rambling there. Thanks for reading!

Welcome (Part 4)
A/N: Here you go! 2 updates in 2 days! Aren’t you so proud? I will apologize in advnace for this chapter... Let’s just leave it at that. 
@embracehappy is still the best. Someday I will be able to do something nice for her. 
Josh pushed Grace out of the Meet and Greet room, and down the hallway. Grace smiled when she recognized the tall girl at the end of the hallway.
“Lilly!” Grace yelled to get her attention. The girl looked over at her and grinned, rushing toward her. She stooped down to give Grace a hug and Grace hugged her back. Grace loved that Lilly didn’t even seem to notice the chair. It was usually the first thing everyone commented on.
“I met him, Grace! He is just as adorable and attractive in real life!” Lilly blubbered, continuing on as Grace wheeled herself down the hallway toward the arena. Grace smiled up at her. This new friendship felt natural as breathing even though they had only known each other for a couple hours. Lilly stopped outside the  Gate B entrance to the giant arena Shawn was playing at. She glanced down at the ticket in her hand, and back up at the directions, eyes wide.
“It says ‘Gate W’,” she trailed off. “How big is this place?” Grace laughed. She had never been here before, but Josh was still following a respectful distance behind, Elizabeth with him. Grace leaned over the back of her chair backwards and motioned for them to come closer.
“Hey Josh! How do we get to Gate W?” Grace said as Josh got closer. He smiled, but told them to follow him. He grabbed her handles, to Grace’s significant gratitude. Pushing them around the curved hallway surrounding the arena, Grace and Lilly chatted excitedly about the show and what they hoped he would sing. The hallway around them started filling up and Grace knew they must have started letting people in. The excitement in the air was electrifying. Grace had an idea.
“Hey Lilly. What row are your tickets on?” Grace looked up at her.
“Uhm, let me see.” She glanced down at the tickets in her hand. “I am in Section 19, Row 23. Not the best seats, but I’ll be able to see him.” She was so excited. It was contagious. Grace glanced up at her mom, who was nodding, already understanding what she was thinking.
“Well, I have 2 tickets I won’t be able to use. They’re not wheelchair accessible. I just needed the tickets for the Meet and Greet and Q&A. They’re Row 3… Would you like them?” Grace held them out to Lilly. Her eyes widened.
“Oh my gosh! Are you sure? Where are you going to sit? These probably cost a fortune! I can’t just take them.” Grace shook her head, and put them in Lilly’s hand.
“Please take them. They won’t get used if you don’t.” Lilly looked like she would start crying any minute. She quickly wrapped Grace in a hug. They stayed this way until Lilly finally let go, standing up and wiping under her eyes. Grace smiled at her. She was so happy she could do that for Lilly.
“You have to give me your phone number. We are best friends now, no matter what you say!” She pulled out her phone and went to hand it to Grace. She stopped her.
“Can you put it in? Germs…” Grace trailed off. Lilly laughed. Grace told her her phone number and asked Lilly to text her so Grace would have Lilly’s number. They continued chatting excitedly until the doors opened and Lilly was able to go to her seat. They both squealed a little and shared another quick hug. Lilly thanked Grace again, and yelled out that she would text her as she ran down the steps. Grace looked up at her mom with a smile. Josh went back to pushing Grace’s wheelchair and they went in the direction of her seats.
Elizabeth opened the door to the box shaped room overlooking the arena where Shawn would be playing. Grace’s eyes widened at the room in front of her. Not only were the seats plush and soft, there was a table full of food and another smaller table full of Shawn merchandise. Grace wheeled herself closer to see various signed albums, t shirts and other merchandise. Right in the center is a YOUTH hoodie, an envelope with her name on it sitting on top. Grace picked it up gingerly, turning the envelope over to break the seal. She pulled the letter out and smiled at the quick, sloppy handwriting covering the letter.
Grace,
I am so happy I got to meet you and get to know you better today. You have taught me so much about resilience, bravery and kindness in just one day. If I were in your shoes, it would be so easy to lay in your bed and never get up, but you keep going and do it all with a smile on your face, even when others around you can’t see it. You have inspired me so much.
That being said, I would love you get to know you better. I hope this doesn’t scare you away, but I would love to spend more time with you. I have a break in my tour schedule after this show. I know you said you lived quite a ways away from here, but I was wondering if you could show me around where you live? I am sure there is a hotel there with a vacancy that I could crash in for a few days. All that being said, if you think this is too much, I completely understand. I have only known you a few hours! This is a little crazy. But I just know I have more to learn from you.
If this is something you might be interested in, I will be up here after the show. Stick around and we will see what happens. If it’s too much, enjoy the show and know I am rooting for you, wherever you are.
Shawn
PS: Here’s my number: (xxx) xxx-xxxx
PPS: Keep my hoodie. It looks better on you ;)
PPPS: I wouldn't mind being around you enough that you can touch me and breathe the same air as me. It would be an honor. (Oh god. How cheesy can I be? Too bad I’m writing this in pen and can’t erase that)
Grace looked up at the table, giggling as she clutched the letter to her chest. She turned to look at her mom, who had seated herself in one of the plush seats, eyes closed. Grace tried not to fangirl too loudly, but this was all extremely unbelievable. She wheeled over to the seats by her mom and scooted into the seat. She sighed, as the chairs were much more comfortable than her wheelchair. She slumped into the chair and closed her eyes as well, a huge smile on her face. She glanced over at her mom, and, not wanting to wake her up, made the executive decision that it was safe to take off her mask in the closed space. The fresh air hit the slightly damp lower half of her face and it was so nice. There was a knock on the door and Grace turned around in her seat as Andrew slowly entered the room. A smile crossed his face.
“Glad to see you found the room. Shawn wouldn’t stop bothering me to come check on you.” Andrew stood near the door, but smiled at Grace. She grinned back.
“Found it, thanks. Tell him thanks again. He is seriously the sweetest human being on the face of the planet.” Grace wasn’t even exaggerating. She honestly felt that way. It felt like she had been dropped in the middle of a fairytale. Andrew smiled at her, before holding his hand up to his ear and saying “Yeah?” He listened to whatever the other person was saying in his ear, but rolled his eyes. “Yes Shawn. She is fine. She is here. Josh made sure she was safe. Now go warm up, please.” Andrew put his hand down, and chuckled. He looked back over at Grace, who was blushing. All day, her mask had covered her blush, but now she was completely exposed. Andrew smiled at her before explaining that he needed to get back to the stage, but that he was glad she found the room okay.
“Hey Andrew? Tell Shawn I will be waiting for him after the show,” Grace said softly, blush deepening. Andrew smiled at her and nodded, before walking out, closing the door behind him. At some point in the interaction, Elizabeth had opened her eyes, and she was looking at Grace with a smile.
“You like him, don’t you?” Elizabeth raised her eyebrows, trying to look motherly, but the smile still filled her face. Grace giggled.
“I do, mom. I have liked him for 5 years. Since he was on Vine. He’s just real now. I can touch him through my sweater and be in the same room as him…” Grace trailed off, trying to decide when she would tell her mom about the letter. She looked back up at her mom. “Hey mom, how long would it take, hypothetically, for me to be able to touch him? Like with my hand?” The smile on Elizabeth’s face wavered, but returned quickly. She shook her head softly.
“Love makes us do crazy things, doesn’t it baby?” she said softly, placing her hand on Grace’s arm. Grace looked down at it, trying to hide the blush spreading across her face. “Grace, you know it’s dangerous. One bug, one tiny little bacteria could land you in the hospital, or worse. We have to be careful, you know that. But baby,” she placed her finger under Grace’s chin and raised her face to look at her own. “I don’t want you to live in a world where you’re afraid to be in love. Shawn seems like a nice boy, and I don’t know what the future is like for you if you’re with him, but I know you need to go after it. There is a connection there that you need to see through to the end. Give it some time. Short bursts of exposure. If he’s serious about you, he will stick around long enough to see this through as well.” Grace stared at her mom. She had never thought her mom would be so supportive of this. She must know this means a lot to Grace.
“In that case, I should maybe tell you Shawn is coming to Bluff…” she trailed off. Elizabeth just laughed.
“I figured when you squealed like a little girl that he wanted to spend more time with you. He’s from Toronto,” Grace looked up at her mom in surprise, “What? You have done nothing but talk about this boy for 5 years Grace. I had to have learned something about him. Anyway. I knew he would be coming around, or you were going to ask to go up there, which isn’t happening anytime soon.” Elizabeth looked at Grace with a stern face, but it softened almost immediately. Grace snuggled into her mom’s arm. “No boys in your room though.”
“Moooooom!” Grace whined, but she smiled. It wasn’t long before she was dozing off on her mom’s arm. It had been a long day, and no matter how excited she was for the concert, she was tired.
What could have been a few minutes or a few hours later, Grace’s mom nudged her awake. Grace looked up at her groggily, but woke up as the first chords of Stitches ran through the room. Grace squeaked, whipping toward the window overlooking the stage. Grace wanted to cry she was so excited.
Shawn walked on the stage and started singing Stitches, his excitement and love for music bleeding into every note. Grace hung onto every sound, completely enthralled in the music. Soon, he was singing In My Blood, everyone in the audience lighting their cell phone cameras and swaying to the beat. Grace loved every minute of being in a room full of people who loved the boy singing, even if she was separated from them by a sheet of glass.
When Shawn started singing Nervous, Grace sang along to every word. Toward the beginning of the second chorus, she started feeling a little out of breath, so she sat back in her chair, trying to breathe deeply. Elizabeth noticed, but didn’t say anything. Grace closed her eyes and tried listening to the words of the song, while breathing deeply. She got halfway through the bridge when everything blacked out.
SHAWN’S POV
Shawn didn’t notice the commotion going on in the box above the fans ahead of him. He finished his set, and was exhilarated running off the stage, handing his guitar to someone before coming face to face with Andrew, a strange look on his face. Shawn stopped in his tracks.
“What is it, Andrew? Is everything okay?” Shawn slowly walked closer, waiting impatiently for his answer. Was there a bad review somewhere? Did a show fall through? What was going on?
“It’s about Grace.” Shawn felt his knees buckle, the adrenaline from the show wearing off in an instant. He didn’t even wait to hear what Andrew said before taking off in a sprint toward the room he knew Grace should be in. He weaved in and out of fans who were confused at his behavior. He knocked a few fans down in his haste, apologizing as he continued running.
He got to the door to the room, and it swung open, revealing an empty room. He dropped to his knees, out of breath. Grace’s wheelchair sat next to the chairs, the table of merchandise sat untouched. Andrew finally caught up with him, panting.
“Shawn. Dude.” Shawn glared up at him.
“Where is she?”
“The hospital. It’s just a few blocks from here. There’s a car outside waiting.” Shawn nodded and got up, his knees popping. He was about to turn toward the door when he noticed an envelope on the floor next to Grace’s wheelchair. He walked over and grabbed it off the floor, recognizing his own hasty handwriting. He grasped it in his hands, pulling it up to his chest. After a few seconds, he pushed Grace’s wheelchair toward the door. Andrew looked at him puzzled.
“Clementine is hers. Grace needs to have her. She would be more comfortable in her own chair.” Andrew nodded, and let Shawn out of the door, pushing Grace’s chair in front of him. There was a huge group of fans gathered around. Shawn smiled half-heartedly at them, noticing immediately the girl from the Q&A. She smirked at Shawn and if he wasn’t in such a hurry, we was certain he would give her a piece of his mind. Instead, he  followed the line of security toward a door with a badge scanner. The door opened and revealed another hallway. He followed the hallway to a parking garage with a non-descript black SUV waiting for him. He folded Grace’s chair in half and put it in the back, then crawled into the back seat. Andrew followed him and closed the door. They pulled out of the garage and Shawn let out a shaky breath.
“What happened?” Shawn looked over at Andrew for answers.
“I don’t know much, Shawn. Elizabeth was racing to keep up with the paramedic, saying this happens sometimes when Grace does too much. She told me Grace was waiting for you, Shawn. She wants you there.” Shawn just nodded, looking forward as the SUV raced down the streets toward the hospital.

Night Jogging
Synopsis: Your night jog is interrupted by the sudden apperance of a friend...or foe?
Pairings: ReaderxSweetPea
Warnings: swearing, eh violence.
A/N: Had this idea for awhile and thought itd be nice and different from Legacy. I quite like this idea and am unsure if there'll be a part 2 ft. The Gang™. I quite like Sweet Pea this far, don't we all love an emotional damaged mysterious boy hahaha. Let me know what you loves think. Part.6 of legacy will be up in the next few days once I write it (honestly shocked I'm still writing it, I'm terrible with maintaining series)
--------------------------
3rd Person
“where you going so late sis?”
“Jog”
“Bit late to be jogging around the south side?”
“Well it's safer than when we lived on the Northside Juggy” you smirked at your beanie wearing brother before pulling your own battered beanie down around your ears to shield them from the bitter winter air. Unlike your brother you only wore your woolen hat at the appropriate times.
You stretched before taking off on your routine jog, if slightly...very later than usual.
You jogged along the footpath parallel to a wooded area near the trailer park. Swirled in your own deep thoughts, the sudden weight thrown into your side completely caught you off guard and you screamed. A hand going around your mouth as the weight pushed you deep into the forrest, worst case scenarios running rampant through your mind.
The body held you against a tree and you forced your tightly squeezed shut eyes open, getting ready to fight.
“Boo”
“OH MY GOD YOU FUCKING JERK!” you pushed Sweet Pea back, hitting him into the back as he was hunched over laughing.
“Oh my god your face!” He got out between laughs, half choking.
“Don't do that to me! I thought I was being jumped by Ghoulies!”
“Don't even joke about that, I'd kill them” he got very serious all of a sudden and you smiled. As if he remembered the fright he gave you he returned to laughter as you both strolled back to the path.
“Come on ynn I'll walk you home, protect you from-”
“-From people who might hmm I don't know tackle me into the woods?” you interrupted and you both laughed.
“Why are you out this late anyway?”
“Jogging”
“At 11.30 at night?”
“Night jogging, it makes me more mysterious and edgy" you played
“Oh yeah you definitely need help with that” he smiled, snatching your beanie from your head and putting it on his own. You don't even bat an eyelid to his gesture.
“Why are you out this late?”
“Business”
“At 11.30 at night?”
“Night business, it makes me more mysterious and edgy” he mimicked receiving a shove from you.
“No but seriously ynn what's with the vampiric running? Something wrong?”
“Nothing really”
“Missing your precious Northside?”
“Yeah kind of”
“This is why we can't be together, so hung up on those idiots” he smirked
“I'm pretty sure the fact I don't like you is the reason we're not together” he put his hand to his chest in feign hurt, you rolled your eyes at your long time friend before continuing along the short walk home.
“No more nightly jogs alone though yn, seriously it's dangerous. Especially for FP’ offspring, special cargo for some Ghoulie trying to earn their stripes” you arrived outside the trailer park.
“Aww I'm touched you think I'm precious” you teased.
“Most precious thing in this dump”
“We'll leave here someday Sweet Pea”
“We?”
“Well yeah I'm going to need someone to carry my bags” you smirk and he nudges you.
“Can't leave my partner in crime behind me now can I?” His genuine smile of gratitude made you feel warm. He always did. No one could quite understand him like you.
“I don't really feel like going back to the trailer right now Sweet Pea, wanna go to the Whyte Wyrm?”
“With you? Always”
After playing, and losing, a few rounds of pool with Sweet Pea you sat at the bar and let him play someone actually challenging for him. You sat cross-legged absent-mindedly scrolling through your phone when a hand went to your thigh causing you to jump.
“Aw-w loo-k it's FPs sexy daug-hter, h-ey babe” his slur of words matched the stench of decades of whiskey drinking. He was much older and much too close.
“Um hi” you pushed his hand down and away but it returned faster with a squeeze make you tense. He leaned in closer and whispered drunken inappropriate scheme's into your ear. You groaned in disgust pushing him completely off you.
“Hey princess you don't get to fucking do that! Come here!” He caught your knee harder, leaning his weight onto you, his arm snaked around your waist and you found it difficult this time to push him from you this time.
A hand laid on his shoulder from behind. He grunted at being interrupted before turning and meeting Sweet Peas fist, knocking him cold to the floor. You gasped as no one else reacted in the bar, welcome to the Whyte Wyrm.
“Oh my god Sweet Pea!”
“Come on, it's time to go” he caught you by the wrist and began to pull you away from the bar, having to step over the creep as you went.
“Sweet Pea slow down, you're going to pull my arm out of it's socket!”
“such a fucking asshole” he continued pulling you in the direction of the trailer park, grumbling about your encounter with the creep.
“I was handling it!”
“Oh yeah yn really looked like that”
“Get off my case for fuck sake!”
“He could have run off with you!”
“So why does it matter to you!? Seriously slow down you're not racing Usain Bolt for christ sakes!”
“it does matter to me! I don't want some old creep all over you!” He still storming in front of you, your wrist firmly caught.
“You're the same when any guy talks to me!!!”
“THAT'S BECAUSE I DON'T WANT ANY GUY TALKING TO YOU LIKE THAT!”
“WHY!? WHY THE FUCK DOES IT MATTER YOU!” and then, under the dim light of the trailer park sign, Sweet Pea stopped his quick pace suddenly, turning and enveloping you in a kiss. He dropped your wrist in exchange for your hips, your hands going around his neck. He had to lean to reach you and your were still half on your tippy toes to reach him but still, you were happy and totally surprised.
“Oh my God you just kissed me” you broke from him.
“I just kissed a Northside sympathiser” you both looked shocked before locking eyes with each other and kissing again hungrily.
“If anyone ever touches you like that again I'll kill them.”
“Okay” you nodded hurriedly, desperate to connect your lips to his again.
“Well, that doesn't look much like jogging?” Jughead voice made you both jump and separate. “Yeah, still a great cardiovascular workout…” you smiled at the ground at Sweet Peas reply.
“Whatever, I'm sure our Northsider friends will love this” he laughed, heading off back in the direction of your home.
“Yeah they will have a lot to say about...this” Sweet Pea was barely audible, first time you heard him like this.
“I really don't care” you put his hands back on your waist and kissed him again.
“It makes me edgy and mysterious"
----------------------------
Please let me know if you'd like a part.2!
Much love Xx

Chapter 4: One of Those Nights.
Tumblr media
Wonho's POV
  The surroundings I am in is all too familiar, the air around me? Thick. The lighting? Black with flashing lights. The people around me? The usual. Girls I don't know, Jooheon, Changkyun, and Hyungwon all attached to these said girls. Music? Kind of shitty. Alcohol consumption? Clearly not enough to be passed out on this floor to take me out of this misery. I look around as all my friends sweet talk these girls. I get up from the sofa and make my way past the hundreds of people on the dance floor. Neglecting to look back at my friends, and honestly they probably don't care if I'm gone either. I make my way back outside and look across the street. 
  Kihyun.... wait we're in the same club as yesterday?
  "Shit..." I mumble to myself. "Kihyun."
  I begin crossing the street as fast as I can, my heart beat ringing inside my ears. I swallow the lump in my chest and finally approach the doors. I step inside and scan my surroundings. I look around and see a familiar face behind the bar making mixed drinks. Minhyuk, Kihyun's friend from last night. I quickly approach the bar. I slam my hands in front of him, he slightly jumps before his eyes land on me, his mouth gaping slightly. "I-it's you."
  "Where's Kihyun?"
  He nibbles on his lip before signaling me to move closer to him. "In the back room you were in last night." He whispers in my ear.
  My eyes widen as I shake my head. "W-with someone else?"
  He slowly shakes his head. "Yeah probably..."
  "Thanks."
  "Wonho wait!" He yells loudly above the music. I stop and face him. "I wouldn't go in there if I were you. He could really get in trouble."
  I shake my head furiously. "I don't care, I have to see him." I look back at Minhyuk. "You understand don't you?"
  He rubs his temples for a quick second before letting out an exasperated sigh. He taps another man next to him that I'm assuming is also working the bar with him. After a few words are exchanged he's walking out from behind it. "Fine, I'll take you to him. You've only been around for 20 some hours and you're already causing me a lot of problems! So annoying." 
  I smile slightly as I begin walking next to him, the feeling of relief being lifted from my shoulders. "Thank you."
  "Whatever, I'm just doing this because he couldn't shut up about you last night."
  "Wait really? What was he saying?"
  He scoffs as he opens the door to the back hallway Kihyun and I entered yesterday. "Like I'd tell you."
  I roll my eyes. "I won't force you."
  He stops in front of a door after a few more minutes of walking. "Anyways, here's his door. I gotta go back to my spot." Before I could protest Minhyuk is sprinting down the gray passageway.
  I turn around and face Kihyun's door, I press my ear to it and hear a couple voices, one of them obviously being Kihyun. I swallow the lump in my throats and inch my hand toward the handle. Come on Wonho, you can do this. Please you just need to see him. After what felt like an eternity I find the strength to push open the door.
  I see Kihyun on the floor, in a fetal position and a tall muscular man towering over him. My eyes connect with the mans and the look on his face does not look pleased at all. I hear Kihyun whimpering in pain as the taller man is still not moving from his spot above him. I can't find it in myself to move, speak, think!! Who the fuck is this guy? What in the fuck is going on?
  "Who the fuck are you?" The muscular man demands.
  "I- I um. I gave the bartenders some extra cash and they lead me to this room." My voice is shaky as his cold dead eyes stare into my own.
  He laughs as he backs away from Kihyun. "Here, you can have this pathetic little piece of shit."
  My body shutters at the coldness of his voice as he exits the room, slamming the door behind him shut. The room is left in a painful silence. I stare down and see Kihyun still on his side, not moving, silent sobs are breaking through his chest. I walk slowly over to him and sit down in front of his head.
  "Hey..." I shake him lightly.
  He instantly sits up, his arm slapping my own in the process. "Don't fucking touch m-." His eyes are wide as he finally notices my presence in the room. "You... you came back." His voice is low and soft, tears still tracing in his words. "You really came back?"
  "I told you I would."
  I grab a hold of Kihyun's face and examine it. His nose is bleeding a substantial amount of blood while his lip is busted right open. I feel the tears fight my eyes as I see his left forming a purple bruise. "Did that guy lay his hands on you?"
  He shrugs. "He does it all the time, I'm used to it."
  I lay down besides him and wrap my arms around him, I bring him close to my body and rest his head on my chest. I rub the top of my head as he begins to cry again, this time even harder. I fight back my tears as he stays in my embrace. The only thing filling the empty room we're in is Kihyun's crying. After what felt like hours he finally lifts up his head. "Why did you come back?"
  "You want the truth?" I smile down at him.
  He only nods and I continue. "I couldn't stop thinking about you, I just needed to see you. I needed to know that you were alright." I frown as I attempt to wipe the blood away from his lip. "I'm sorry that you're not."
  "I think I'll be okay now that you're here." His grip on me tightens. "I even feel safe like this in your arms."
  I look down at him and he's already staring at me. "How about we go on that date you mentioned last night?"
  Kihyun's eyes slowly make their way to my own. "How are we gonna leave? I can't leave here."
  "Oh so that shit you were saying you were just being bold?" I smirk.
  "I didn't think you'd come back okay?!"
  I smile at him. "Is there door or area that no one checks constantly?"
  He's silent for a moment. "Yeah, actually there is."
  "Okay is it in the back?"
  "In the alley yeah." 
  "Okay. I'm gonna go across the street and get my car. Meet me back then in 10 minuets then."
  "You have a car?" He asks as I get up.
  I laugh. "Yeah, I'm 26, not 16. I'm gonna have a car."
  "Sorry." He looks down. "That was a stupid question."
  I extend my hand out to him trying to help him get off the ground. "I was only kidding, I'll be back in 10 minuets with the car."
  "Promise?"
  I smile as I make my way to the door. "Of course."
  I make my way out of the dimly light hallway and back to the front of the building. I scan the room and look for Minhyuk again. Once I see him still behind the bar I walk over to him. "Can you cover for Kihyun? We're going out."
  "Out?" His voice is confused. "I mean, it will be hard, but I'll try."
  I take out my wallet and slide Minhyuk a couple of bills. "Try, please?"
  He looks around before snatching the money off the counter. "Fine, but if I get in trouble for trying to cover your ass you'll owe me more pretty boy!"
  "Deal. Thank you."
  "Whatever. Just go." He waves off. "Before I change my mind."  
  I nod before running out the building and back across the street. I make my way to the valet and hand the guy my receipt. He scans it before nodding. "We'll bring your car right out Mr. Shin."
  "Thanks."
  After a few minuets I see the guy driving up to me with my car, he gets out and hands me the keys. "I must say so myself sir you're Spirra you got here is super bad ass and well kept, I thought I should applaud you on that, most people can't keep these types of cars neat."
  I smile as I hand him his tip and sit down inside my car. "Thank you for noticing, I do work hard on keeping this car in good condition, enjoy your night." I wave off before shutting my door.
  I put my car in drive and begin driving slowly out off the valet parking lot. I make sure no cars are coming in either direction and proceed straight, to where Kihyun said the back door of the alley is. I enter the alley and begin driving slower. My eyes scan and I see a small frame about 10 meters ahead. I pull up to the boy and roll my window down. "Looking for someone?"
  Kihyun's eyes widen. "This is your car?"
  "Yeah is that a bad thing?"
  "No it's just that, I've never seen such a nice one."
  I laugh at him a little. "So is our date just gonna be you starring at my car here or are you actually going to get in and let me drive you somewhere?"
  "Shit right sorry." He begins walking to the passenger side of my car. He opens the door and steps inside, his eyes still wandering. "It's just as nice inside. Are you rich or something?" He asks as I put the car in reverse and I begin backing out of the alley way, my head turned behind so I can see as I back up.
  I only shrug. "I don't think I am. But maybe to others I am." We get onto the main road and I put my car on drive again. "Money comes and goes like it's nothing. Someday I may wake up and not have it at all. So I try to be humble about what I have." I say as my eyes focus on the road ahead of me. "Why, do I look rich?"
  He sighs. "Well, a little bit to me. But that's probably because I have nothing. What's your job?"
  "I'm a CO CEO for my friend Jooheon's company. We're in the music industry together. That makes us business partners right? I guess since he's the other CEO."
  "Wow." He says as I make a sharp turn onto the freeway. "You're so lucky. I can't do anything with my life."
  I glance over at him and back onto the road. "When was the last time you saw an over view of Seoul?"
  "Probably never." He sighs as he looks out the window. "I can't even remember the last time I've been in a car. Or on the freeway. "I can't do anything but stay in that place."
  "How did you leave tonight?"
  "Well Sho-" He looks out the window. "My boss usually leaves on these nights to go gamble and leaves the club in the hands of the security. It's super easy to ditch them. I've just never had any reason to do so. But if he finds out, hell will break loose." He trails off, his face retorts in fear at the thought.
  "He's the one who was hitting you earlier huh? Your boss?"
  He gets silent before slowly nodding. "Yeah, that's Shownu."
  I clench my jaw as I exit the freeway. "I don't know what to do to help you right now but, I'll think of something Kihyun. I promise."
  He smiles. "I'd like to hope that, but frankly I don't think there's anything you can do for me."
  "Don't give me that bullshit. Look- I don't want to sound weird or anything but I sort of kind of fucking like you, so if helping you out is the last thing I'll do so be it."
  "Like as in??" He looks at me, a small smile playing on his face.
  "Well I like you enough to risk my life apparently right? Doesn't that count for something?"
  He laughs as he leans his head back on the head rest. "I guess Wonho, I guess."
  I look ahead at the road and take a small turn. The car is silent before I come to a stop. Kihyun looks around before he smiles slightly. "I didn't even notice we were driving up a hill."
  "I found out this road when I was like 18." I laugh as I take off my seat belt. "It's better than the long hike down there."
  "Where are we?" He questions as I open the door.
  "Ansan, you know the peak to over look Seoul." I point ahead.
  Kihyun's eyes widen as he steps forward slightly. The bright lights of the city reflects in his eyes as he shakes his head. "I- it's beautiful. This is Seoul?"
  "Yup. Down to the very last light you can see."
  "I didn't know something so beautiful existed."
   "I did."
  "You talking about the lights?" He looks back at me.
  "Something like that."
  "You make no sense." He laughs as he looks forward.
  I sigh and lean on my car. "Come on sit down next to me."
  "Is it okay to sit on your car?"
  "Sure, I got four of them."
  "Of course you do." He laughs as he sits down next to me. 
  "Aren't you cold? I just realized that you're not wearing a shirt."
  He shrugs. "I'm fine."
  I roll my eyes. "No, you'll catch a cold." I take my coat off and drape it over his shoulders. "There."
  "I told you I was fine."
  "We're on a date remember? People on dates do this kind of stuff just so you know."
  "Really?" He looks up at and I only nod. He sighs as he pushes his arms through the sleeves. "Thank you then."
  "It's so cute how clueless you are." I admit as I look ahead at the city lights displayed in front of us. "It's adorable, it makes me not want any bad things to happen to you."
  He only frowns as he twirls his thumbs while he looks ahead. "I've never been on a date, so I'm sorry if I don't do things correctly, I'm trying not to be so nauseating."
  "You aren't at all. I'm enjoying the time here with you."
  "What are some things you want to do?"
  "Me?"
  Kihyun nods. "Isn't that what people do on dates, ask each other questions?"
  "You got me there. Umm well I guess one thing I want to do is continue to travel. I've already been through all of Asia. I would like to go to Europe and see how things are over there. Maybe the United States too."
  "That sounds like fun honestly. You've been outside of Korea?"
  "Plenty of times, for business, for fun. But still even then I still feel a loneliness in my heart."
  He raises an eyebrow. "What kind of loneliness?
  I stay silent, my eyes fixated on the twinkling lights in front of me. "Maybe someone to share those moments with. I kind of long for a relationship I guess." I look at him. "After you've done the things I've done, you just want someone to come home to, someone to understand you, someone to listen to you. I think at this point in my life I just want that already. I've been here, done that, but come back home to nobody. It's lonely."
  "D-does." He mumbles off. "Does anyone know you're... you know, gay?"
  "Nope."
  "Do you plan on telling anyone?"
  "Jooheon, Changkyun, and Hyungwon down the road maybe."
  "I get it." His eyes look back to me. "You're scared aren't you? Of what people might think of you?"
  I nod. "Yeah, I never really thought about it. I've never really talked about it. You're not?"
  He shakes his head. "Nope. I already know who I am, I accepted that a long time ago."
  His words linger around for a moment. I take a deep breath and look down at my hands. "Maybe being honest with them will lead to me being happy. It gets tiring acting like something I'm not. I'm sure a weight will be lifted off my chest if I told them. They are my best friends after all."
  "Maybe, I don't know your life obviously. But just know that freedom for yourself is what will make you happy in the long run."
  "Are you happy with yourself Kihyun?"
  "No, but I'm working on it. If I'm better person maybe I can make things about my situation better. I'm really trying to be a better me Wonho, I am."
  I rest my hand on top of his own. "I know Kihyun, it must be hard. Especially for the situation you're in. But don't worry I'll try whatever it is that I can to help you. You can count on me."
  He looks down at our hands and back up at me then ahead. "Promise?"
  "Cross my heart and hope to die."
  He looks up at me, his eyes in shock. "W-wonho." He stutters. "Why would you go so far for doing this much for me, you barley know me. Why are you wasting your time?" He looks away, his eyes shutting tightly in the process. "Why are you wasting your time on me? It just doesn't make sense. What do you want from me?"
  I stare at him for a second, not knowing what to say. After a moment of thinking I clear my throat. "I don't know, to be honest I don't have a solid answer for you. I don't know you, but I feel like I'm connected to you. From the moment I laid my eyes on you I could tell that you needed me to help you. Maybe it was just the way your eyes looked at me, they were so full of sorrow. I could tell that you needed someone to help you. So I'm tied to my self promise. I'll help you no matter what Kihyun."
  "I am not a charity case!" His eyes are full of anger as he jumps of my cars hood. “For fuck sakes Wonho! I don’t need your help! I don’t need your money! What I need is someone to understand me, what I’m going through.”
  “If that where true, you’d be content with staying in that place forever with Minhyuk. I know you don’t need me, but I want you to need me. I want to help you. Call me selfish but I want to help you for me.”
  “And what do you expect from me if you help me? Marriage? A happy life? I can’t promise you that Wonho. I just can’t.” His eyes glisten in the city lights reflection. “I don’t want to hurt you. I can’t.”
  “Kihyun, I don’t expect anything from you. If I help you out you’re free to live the life you want, no the life you should be living. You wouldn’t owe me anything.” I force him to look at me, his eyes are much softer than before. “You can’t hurt me, I’ll always be here for you.”
  “I can’t be loved.” He shakes his head. “I just can’t.”
  “If I fall in love with you so be it. I promise you, I’ll love you till my last breath if I do.”
  He stares at me for a second, his head leaning in a little closer. “You have a way with words.” He mumbles, his lips inches apart from my own. “I think I like you cause of that.”
  I smile, my hands automatically placing themselves on the sides of his face. “I won’t hurt you Kihyun, I promise.”
  His lips are only inches apart, his hot breath  brushes of my bottom lip as I close my eyes, my own lips desperately inviting his onto my own. My eyes instantly widen as I feel a sensation going off in my pant pocket. “Shit.” I grumble. I back away fast and take out my phone, examining the caller ID and groan even more. 
  “Yeah?” I annoyingly answer my phone.
  “Wonho where the fuck are you?!” Hyungwon’s voice yells in my ear. “Jooheon and Changkyun really did it this time!”
  “What?” I look over at Kihyun and hold up my finger. I jump onto the grass and walk a little away from him. “What did those dumb asses do?”
  “I can’t explain it. Look I don’t care where the hell you are or what or who you’re doing, but get here right now. Before either of them gets arrested! I’m not kidding Wonho, hurry please.”
  I shut my eyes, mentally slapping myself in the face. “Alright, I’ll be there soon.”
  I hang up before he can say anything else. I turn to Kihyun, his eyes starring ahead. “I’m sorry Kihyun, I gotta take you back. Apparently an emergency is going on with my friends.”
  “It’s okay, I understand. It’s better if I go back already too.”
  “Right, well let’s not waste anytime then.” I say as I walk to my passenger door. “I don’t want two things to worry about.”
  The both of us get inside my car, no words being exchanged. I put my car in reverse and look behind me. “Wonho?”
 “Yeah?”
  “Thank you for tonight.” I hear Kihyun say. “Thanks for making my first date something nice and good to remember.”
  I smile as I look at him for a second. “No problem, it’s been my pleasure to be by your side tonight.”

A resuce and a discovery- Bi VLD Week Day 1
So when trying to think of an idea for this, I kept thinking of Keith and I’ll be honest, I don’t really see a lot of bi Keith stuff. I could be totally wrong and just not be looking right, but I hope everyone likes this. Discovery/Journey
Why was he doing this to himself? If he leaned back a bit, he could just look past his locker where he could see the two of them. God, why did it have to be her?
Lance forced himself to look back inside his locker where he was supposed to be grabbing his books for his next class. The history teacher did not like him and he didn’t want to give her an excuse to dump more work on him.
“Come on, skip with me.” Lance heard her say.
“I can’t. The teacher is really observant despite how old she is.”
“But I want to be with you. Besides, all those girls will be staring at you. Plus those poor unfortunate gay guys who think they have a chance. And you’re all mine.”
He couldn’t take it anymore. He slammed the locker door shut, locking it. The noise drew attention from the other two people.
“Eavesdropping McClain?”
Lance scoff, putting the key to his locker in his blazer pocket. “Like I’d be interested in whatever you and mullet would be talking about Nyma, but honestly not hard to hear your pathetic begging when your screechy voice can be heard all the way down the hall.”
Nyma, in her blonde hair purple eyed glory, could be considered the most beautiful person in the whole school. But their school was very well known for not only focusing on gender when looking at beauty, which was why Lance took the spot as the most beautiful person in the school. Everyone knew how much it annoyed her, which is why Lance was sure she took such an interest in Keith Kogane, who Lance would totally go after. If he wasn’t so sure Keith was completely straight and flirting back with Nyma.
“Jealous McClain?”
“Of what, your horrible attempts to be appealing? As if. If you’d excuse me, I have better things to do other than watch the gag fest of your mating call. Hi boys.” Lance waved to a group of guys who just happened to be passing.
“Hi Lance.” They called back, watching as he went to the steps. He heard Nyma try and get their attention but no replies where heard. That made him feel slightly better.
Lance didn’t know how this crush started. Oh no wait, yes he did. He saw Keith and that was it. He was perfect in every way. Well except he was completely straight, not at all interested in boys. So what did Lance do? He picked a fight with him every time until Keith was so sure Lance was nothing but a spoiled brat. Lance didn’t know what was wrong with him. He knew Keith was straight and should of lost interest but he still wanted it and went so far as to get Keith to pretty much hate him and see him as an annoyance just to keep Keith’s attention on him.
‘The sooner I get over that crush, the better. He’s straight and interested in Nyma. Besides, even if he was interested in guys, he wouldn’t be interested in the guy who is always annoying him.’
Time in class seemed to drag on, though it might have had something to do with their teacher. A sweet woman who actually looked past their trouble making side to actually look at the kids in it, but it didn’t mean listening to her teach wasn’t a drag. She would go on and on about their subject, diving deeper on parts that weren’t mentioned in the textbook. Lance was hiding behind his textbook to doodle in his notebook, not even trying to stop himself from drawing little drawings of Keith’s face.
“Gay.” Pidge whispered from the desk next to him. He just stuck his tongue out at her, not even bothering to correct her that it was bi like he always did when she’d make the comment. He liked Pidge, but her being friends with Keith was bound to kill him someday with how often Keith joined in on their hangouts. He looked over his shoulder where Keith sat in the back, actually looking like he was paying attention. Lance could vaguely make out smudged lipstick on his neck. He turned back around, ducking lower in his seat. What was he doing? Why was he torturing himself like this? Keith wasn’t interested so why could Lance get over it?
“Excuse me, Mrs. Opal?” Lance looked up, eyes automatically narrowing at the sight of Nyma, “the principal is calling Lance McClain to the office. He has a phone call apparently and his secretary was a bit busy.”
Phone call? The only person who’d call him at the school was his dad and he knew when Lance was in class and would usually call him on his cell. He only called the school when Lance was in trouble and Lance knew he didn’t get into any schemes recently.
“Mr. McClain go ahead, don’t spend the whole period talking on the phone ok?”
“Uh, yes ma’am.” Lance got up and walked out the door, Nyma following him close by. He expected her to leave now that her message was delivered but she was following his every step to the office of the principal. He got the hallway past the lockers when he turned around and faced Nyma. “Can I help you with something?”
“You could stop pinning over my boyfriend.”
“Excuse me? Someone is actually dating you? Who is that poor soul?”
“Very funny. I see the way you look at Keith, its sad really.”
“What sad is how you can’t seem to function without your mullet around. The only way I look at Keith is in annoyance on having to see you two together. It’s honestly sad and pathetic to see.”
Nyma scoffed. “Oh please, you are so in love with him, it’s sickening to watch. It must annoy you so much that I have a chance with him and you don’t. Of course, you're such a slut with any other guy, he must appreciate it.”
“Oh I get it,” Lance said, rolling his eyes, trying hard to hide how Nyma’s accusations hurt him. He flirted but he never slept around. People could call him a tease, but he wanted an actual relationship. “You’re jealous that all the guys like me more than they like you, so you’re just making insane accusations to make yourself feel better. Wow, I knew you were desperate, but this is so sad.” Lance turned around and continued on his way to the principal’s office, glad that he didn’t hear Nyma’s footsteps behind him.
Strangely though, there was no phone call waiting for him. He guessed Nyma was just trying to annoy him and just did it so she could bother him out of class. It was slightly annoying when the principal came out of his office and accused him of skipping class. He was walking back to class when his phone buzzed. He decided to take the chance to stop and check it without any teachers to yell at him for having his phone during class hours.
“Lance move!” he heard before somebody crashed into him, pushing him back but still somehow making sure he didn’t fall back. He also heard the sound of some sort of liquid falling and hitting the titled floor. Once he got his bearing back, he saw it was Keith who pushed him out of the way. Lance couldn’t help the blush that came to his face, as he pushed himself away from Keith.
“w-what the hell? What are you doing?”
“You’re welcome.” Keith said, crossing his arms. “God knows we wouldn’t hear the end of it if you got hit by that.” He moved out of the way so Lance could see the large puddle of dirty and muddy water that stained the floor. Lance looked up to the walkway on the floor above where Lance’s locker was located. “I saw Nyma dragging one of those mop things the janitor uses upstairs a little while after you left, so I reminded Mrs. Opal about attendance sheets to figure out what she was up to. What did you do?”
Nyma, of course. But why did Keith try and figure out what she was up to and then try and save him?
“My apologies for pissing off your girlfriend.”
Keith sighed, “She’s not my girlfriend. I was interested and flirting with her yeah, but I’m not interested in people who do petty things like that. It’s one thing to give harsh words, but just trying to mess with people like that can get dangerous.”
A small part of Lance felt elated that Nyma lost her chance to be with Keith. He tried pushing it down but it wasn’t listening.
“Maybe next time you should flirt with a girl who doesn’t get annoyed when a guy gets more attention than her. No one likes it when you need that much validation.”
Keith shrugged, “I mean, you can’t blame the guys for being interested.”
Lance let out a forced laugh, why was he playing with his emotions like that? Other straight guys complimented him on his looks but hearing it from Keith. It made him happy but then he remembered it wasn’t really an interested compliment. “Right, no homo though right?”
“Well a bit. I’m not blind.”
Wait, what?
“Huh? But you’re straight.”
Keith blinked before bursting into laughter. Lance felt almost insulted at the fact that he was laughing at him but also liked listening to him laugh.
“Lance, I’m not straight. I’m bi.”
“What, no you’re not. I’ve only seen you flirt with girls.”
“True, but only because most of the guys here are straight, fuckboys if they are gay, bi or pan or just not my type. Besides, I’m more used to flirting with girls since it’s safer but the one guy I’m slightly interest in doesn’t seem to like me.”
“What, who?” why was that the first thing out of his mouth. It was like he wasn’t trying to hide how he felt.
Keith gave him this sort of smug look and stepped closer to him. “Oh trust me, you know who he is. You know him really well.” He said, poking Lance on the nose before turning around and walking off. “Maybe you’ll see me flirt with him next. I grantee you won’t be upset about it.”
That small blush from before felt like it took over his whole face. Keith was bi, Keith was interested in guys, Keith was interested in a guy and for some reason, that guy sounded like it was him. Yeah, that crush wasn’t going anywhere.

A million thoughts in my head Should I let my heart keep listening? Cause up 'til now, I've walked the line Nothing lost but something missing I can't decide what's wrong, what's right Which way should I go?
Every step, every word With every hour I'm feeling in To something new, something brave To someone I've never been
Will you still be with me When the magic's all run out?

I'm out here in the dark, all alone and wide awake Come and find me I'm empty and I'm cold, and my heart's about to break Come and find me
I need you to come here and find me Cause without you, I'm totally lost I've hung a wish on every star It hasn't done much good so far I can only dream of you
But when the morning comes and the sun begins to rise, I will lose you Because it’s just a dream, when I open up my eyes, I will lose you
I used to believe in forever, But forever is too good to be true I've hung a wish on every star It hasn't done much good so far
I don't know what else to do Except to try to dream of you And wonder, if you're dreaming too Wherever you are

Tom Vs The Forces Of Evil (Au), Chapter 3
Previous / Next
One of the most unusual things about earth for Tom, was school. Mewni didn't have schools, or classes, or tests. So being introduced to Math, science, and earth history was a huge struggle combined with the fact that he didn't know how schools worked or how to even succeed in class. Tom honestly didn't know why he should care, why did all of this matter when he'd be going back home someday? Well according to Marco, him not going to school and being educated would look bad or something. When Monday came back round, Tom wasn't eager to start his second week of school, if it wasn't for Marco he was sure he'd have either blown up the school already, or been lost forever. Despite him being mildly popular for being foreign and for catching the attention by quite a few girls in the school, Tom also didn't feel too comfortable around a lot of the students. Between his pink-bunny backpack, his hat, and his clothing style he seemed to be an easy target for some students to pick on. Marco usually stepped in before Tom did something he'd regret with his magic wand. Thank god for Marco Ubaldo Diaz.
"-So how is your dad gonna do magic without a wand now anyway?" Marco asked Tom, as they wandered around the halls on their way to class. Marco munched on an apple, and Tom snaked on a fruit bar so they could get some more energy before class. "Oh, he doesn't need it...."Tom explained, "By the time you've passed the wand to your child you should be magically skilled enough to not require a wand to do any spells...". He kept droning on and on, "I guess he can do them through his hands and junk? I don't really know...i've never seen him in-" ACK Tom crashed into Marco, who had stopped in his tracks. Marco wasn't looking at Tom, he was staring down the hall in fact. "Marco? What the heck?" Tom grumbled, before waving his hand in front of his friend's face, "Are you like? Under a spell or something?" Then Tom felt someone skate past them, a girl with short blonde hair and wearing a seashell necklace.. It didn't take long for him to put two and two together. She waved at Tom as she rode by, "Hey Tom!!" He waved back and elbowed Marco to wake him from his trance and say something, but instead Marco stumbled where he stood and turned bright red. Jackie lynn Thomas, Marco's crush. She didn't seem to have seen him stumble, and she turned the corner. Marco sorted himself out, he dropped his apple, and threw it into the trash can in his embarrassed state. Only to turn around to a smirking alien, Tom's knowing grin only make Marco more and more embarrassed, Marco stumbled over his words. "Uh...I-I Uh..." "You think she's cute? Don't you Marco.." Tom laughed, "It's cool, Jackie seems nice, she's like one of the only girls here who isn't bothered by my style or isn't trying to ask me out..". If Marco wasn't so red, he might've laughed, a lot of the girls at their school seemed to be crushing on Tom, guess being an alien didn't bother them. Tom was wearing new earth clothes today along with his usual horned hat, a loose purple shirt on top of a black tank top, wearing a cross necklace, jeans, and dark boots. He seemed to think this blended him in a bit more but Marco honestly thought he looked pretty similar even in mewni clothes. "I think your style is cool..." Marco said, trying to calm down, "A-and um...well, I've liked her since we were kids..." Tom took note of Marco's tone. "You've never asked her out..have you?" Marco rubbed the back of his head, "Well no, but we also haven't really talked before...or-" He thought Tom would laugh, but he didn't and bit his lip. "t's ok, my love life hasn't been any better.." Tom laughed to himself, "But that's totally cool, I Can use my experience in love to maybe help you get a date..". He patted Marco on the back, "And don't worry, I won't use magic and stuff...just my dating skills.." Marco didn't think that'd be any better. "Tom, it's fine...you don't have to-" Marco started, assuring his friend. "Yeah, but don't you want to...y'know, date her?" Tom asked, "I mean you can't wait here forever for her to say something, you have to go and get her....". "I-I Don't know..." Marco didn't want to sound weak in front of Tom, but he wasn't sure if Tom was the best person to be a matchmaker. Tom, the guy who thought the best way to settle a despute was simply battle to the death. Tom took his arm gently, "Marco, Jackie seems cool, what are you afraid of?" "Rejection...humiliation.." Marco mumbled, feeling sick to his stomach. Tom bit his lip, he'd dated before, he understood what this felt like....although then again his circumstances were very different. "Well, she seems to think i'm cool, I could be your wing-man!!" He suggested, making Marco's eye widen in panic. Marco steeped in front of Tom before he could move and put his hands out in front of him, "T-Tom, that's very sweet of you...but I really don't need your help." But Tom was stubborn, and walked past Marco, "C'mon Marco, I've dated before and Lilacia's used me as a wingman before when she needed a date, I can totally handle it..". Tom gave Marco a toothy smile, and Marco could tell he was begging with his eyes. He gave in too easily. "Fine, just...don't embarrass me, and do it after class..." Marco mumbled, he didn't mean to make it sound rude, but he wasn't sure what to expect out of Tom and his "Dating skills". Tom hugged him quickly. "Thanks Marco, trust me, by the end of today...Jackie and you will be an item.." ----- Well, Tom wasn't wrong about one thing. He was a pretty darn good wing man, but just not the best for Marco.. Tom eagerly let his math class to catch up to the skater girl, who was about to ride off to her next class. "Hey Jackie!!", Tom called out, running to catch up to her. "Oh, hey Tom!!" She grinned, "What's up little dude?!" "Oh, I wanted to talk to you...", Tom crossed his arms and gave a smug grin, "So Jackie, you seeing anyone currently? Boyfriend? Girlfriend? Whatever you're into?". From behind a trashcan, Marco face palmed, he should've known better then to get the alien prince to set him up on dates. But ugh, it was hard to say no to Tom. "Uhhhh....no?" Jackie answered. "Well, I know someone who thinks you're really cute, he's been watching you for awhile now, and he'd love to get to know you better..." Tom said, Marco started to wonder if Tom was a ladies man back home, he was never like this normally. Normally Tom was shy, sad, and emotional, he seemed to be quite the charmer when he wanted to be. Jackie crossed her own arms, and raised an eyebrow, smirking herself. "Oh, is there now?" "Yep, and he told me to tell you he thinks you're the coolest girl he knows.." Tom exclaimed back, proudly. Marco raised an eyebrow himself from his spot, was it working? Jackie laughed. "So what do you say, will you give my friend a chance tonight?" Tom said. Jackie finished laughing and set a hand on Tom's shoulder, "Tom, that's very sweet of you, but i'm not into you like that....but if you ever wanna hang out and chill as pals, i'm super cool with that..". It took Tom a few seconds to realize what happened and his smirk faded, "W-Wait jackie I-" The Jackie checked the clock on the wall, "Aw shoot dude, looks like class is starting soon...I'll catch you later dude!!", and before Tom could say anything else she rode off. Leaving an awkward Tom in the dust. Marco ran up to the boy, "Uhh...What happened?" Tom bit his lower lip. "Well, I guess i'm not as great with matchmaking as I thought.." ---- "I'm so sorry Marco..." Tom said guiltily on their way home, "I screwed up....I really did..." Marco sighed, "Tom, it's ok....you tried your best.." Tom remained silent on their walk home, it was common for him to feel guilty about things like this, even if he shouldn't be guilty. When they got to Marco's house Marco dropped his backpack on the couch, but Tom made his way upstairs, producing a concerned look on Marco's face. "Tom?" Marco followed him upstairs, he must've been in his bedroom. Marco politely knocked on the door, "Tom? Hey, is everything ok?" No answer. "Tom? I'm coming in..." Marco opened the door to the boy's room to find him on his bed face first, and with his movements it wasn't hard to tell what was up. He was crying. "Tom?!", Marco made his way to his bedside and pat Tom's shoulder, "Hey, it's ok...it's not a big deal, there will be other times I can talk to jackie...I think?". He was talking calmly to the boy and rubbing his back, "I'm not mad....please don't cry.." Tom sniffled and looked up, trying to keep himself from angrily snapping at the human,  "T-That's not why I-I'm upset Marco....." He sat up, hugging his legs close to his chest and holding them tight. "I stink at this earth stuff...I-I can't figure out school, I can't find you a date...I-I can't even dress right.." He pulled off his hat and threw it to the side, his pink hair sticking up now. He felt hot tears stream down his face and thank goodness he wasn't holding his wand right now or he might've set the entire house on fire. "I wasn't this bad on Mewni......." He felt so angry. "I suck at this earth stuff, just like i suck back home..." He mumbled into his jeans, "How am I ever gonna live here if i can't do any normal earth stuff?" Marco sat down next to his friend, "Hey.....you wanna know something cool?" Tom didn't reply so Marco continued. "My Dad isn't from america...he moved here when he was a teen.." Marco admitted, "It took awhile for him to adjust too....but even though he lived in a new place he didn't have to change who he was, he adapted to new customs...but he didn't have to give up on who he was or where he came from..." Tom looked at his friend, he stopped crying. Marco smiled at him, "Being on earth, learning all these things...i'm sure it's overwhelming, but don't pressure yourself to adapt...you got to take it at your own pace and besides...I like how weird you are.". Marco stood up and grabbed Tom's hat from off the floor, bring it back to his friend and placing it on his head for him. "You do?" Tom asked, not really looking at Marco. "Of course I do, you're definitely the most interesting and fun exchange student we've taken In and if you think i'd replace you in a heartbeat your solely mistaken..." Marco lightly hit Tom in a playful manner and Tom smiled instantly. "That's...really cool of you Marco..", He said softly. "Earth will take some getting used to, but you're not a failure....you'll see, a few weeks from now.....you're gonna be great in school and nobody will care how you look....". "Are you really sure? I mean, i'm always going to be an outcast here...I'm an alien Marco..." Tom muttered, he was awfully good at putting himself down, but put both hands of the boy's shoulder. "Nothing wrong with that....we can both be outcasts together...", Marco grinned goofy, making the prince laugh. "Heh...yeah....together..." Tom smiled, imagining the two of them forming a group and travelling together. "That sounds kinda fun actually...." Tom smiled wide and hugged Marco, "Sorry I freaked out.....but...thanks, I guess I needed to hear that..." Marco hugged him back, "I can always help with homework....if you need any..? I know Math kinda sucks for you..." "Yeah...that might be cool..." Tom pulled away from him, then he laughed awkwardly, "You don't have to babysit me so much..." "You like it.." Marco teased. he bit his lip, maybe Tom needed a break to relax, Marco lit up with an idea, "You wanna play a game of ping pong?". He nodded to the table in the center of the room and Tom stood up. "Yeah...that sounds nice.." - Tom had no problem warning Marco about him being a ping pong champion back home before they started playing. But Marco still stated he could take him. Tom liked a good challenge. Tom put his wand away to play, promising to use no magic, only his skills. With his skills he might as well have used magic. Marco was losing..HARD. He could've sworn Tom was cheating, but there was nothing Marco could see that told him so. But at least Tom was smiling again, even if it was a malicious one. The ball went sailing past Marco, and the boy shook his head and laughed. "You know it's awful hard to play when I can't get a single hit in....." he said as he retrieved the ball. "Awww, but this is fun!!" , Tom said, making a fake pout, "Not many people back home wanna play with me..." 'I wonder why' , thought Marco. Marco served and Tom hit it back, flaying right past Marco once again, "So...what are we going to do about Jackie?". Tom froze, "Well....what do you mean?" "She thinks you like her....and..." He trailed off, clearly referring to the fact that she knew nothing about his crush on her. Tom felt guilty, and he bit his lip. "I'll take care of it...." "Really?" "Yeah..", He promised, "After I handle some things, and figure out what to say....I'll talk to her..." Marco smiled in gratitude, "Thanks Tom...." Then he served the ball suddenly and and it flew past a distracted Tom. "HEY!! THAT'S NOT FAIR!!" Tom muttered. "Oops..." Marco said, shrugging and with his own malicious smile. - By the time the week ended, Tom forgot about his previous worries. All the monster fighting, wand practice, and fun times with Marco helped make every day so much better. Marco was a decent tutor, despite Tom sometimes losing focus. The bullying died down a bit, although Marco suspected Tom might've done something himself to solve that. Tom denied it, but Marco was sure he did something considering how scared those kids were when they saw him now. But they didn't seem to be hurt in any way so whatever Tom might've done, just seemed to scare them rather then hurt them. There was just one thing Tom needed to take care of. By Friday, Tom took a deep breath and made his way to Jackie, who was talking to her friends in the hallway. He waved to her and Jackie's friends left as he approached. "Hey dude!" She said cheerfully. "Hey.." He said, taking another breath before continuing, "I know it's been a few days, but i wanted to apologize for what happened on Monday..." "What? No, it's fine Tom..." Jackie replied, "I'm not upset with you or anything-" "No, it's just, i wasn't trying to ask you out.." Tom got out, "I was trying to ask you out for a friend....and I'm sorry that it came out that way by accident." He was worried Jackie would be upset but she smiled and nodded, understanding. "Dude, it's fine, thanks for letting me know about that...", She patted his shoulder, "Are we cool?" "Yeah, we're cool.." Tom replied, smiling. "Cool, i'll see you around then..." She waved him off before skating away and Tom relaxed. He caught up with Marco shortly, who was ready to to head to lunch. "I can understand why you like her..." Tom said, twirling his wand in his hands "She's nice..." Marco grinned and playfully bumped against Tom as they kept walking together. "Yeah, well...you're pretty cool too..." Tom bit his lip and chuckled, "Hey, have I ever thanked you for taking me in and making this new life easier for me?" "Only about a dozen times In fact..." Marco shot back, "If we ever go to mewni, i'd appreciate if if you showed me around..." "Yeah, I think you'd like mewni, i mean we're kinda boring sometimes, but you seem to like monsters and magic stuff....so i guess it could be kinda fun..." Tom suggested, "Just...stay close to me ok? I'm sure your parents would kill me if I really put you in serious danger..." Marco nodded, "Yeah, i'd probably not wanna get eaten either...". "I didn't tell her about your crush..." Tom mumbled, "But maybe we can try again after all this blows over..." "It's fine Tom, maybe next time.....I'll try to tell her? I don't wanna put you in that position again...." "Yeah, but...are you sure?" Tom looked a bit worried, "I mean, you were worried about what she would say an-" "Yeah but like you said....if I want to date her, I can't wait around forever..."Marco sighed, "I'll tell her...someday...." Tom gave the human a toothy grin, "Well, I think you two will make a cute pair...." "Shut up.." Marco said, bumping against Tom. Tom laughed and bumped right back. The two bumped against each other as they walked down the hall together. School might not really be so bad after all.
