BNHA self insert AU [Book 2]

Lost and confused? Read this post to catch you up!

Chapter 10: Y’all Mind If I Praise the Lord Real Quick?

It’s the next day and the usual scuffle of my siblings on a Monday were underway as Hoshi and I calmly ate breakfast. Not gonna lie, it felt nice to be on the observing side of things. Mondays are the days my dad comes home early from work to make dinner while mom goes off to her agent job. So Hoshi and I have the house to ourselves!...or so I thought.

“Home alone! I don’t think I was ever home alone!” I squealed in excitement “what do you wanna do? Watch movies? Try to find the twinkies my mom hides? OOH! Wanna play loud music and scream sing?!”

Before Hoshi could respond, uncle Jin popped in “HUP! Not so fast you two!”

“Aren’t you supposed to be at work?” I questioned.

“Not for another 2 hours, the boss lady asked me to make sure you two didn’t do anything dumb” he crossed his arms “so I propose you two get to cracking those books open and study.”

“Humph! I don’t wanna!” I huffed and stamped my feet.

“Your grades say otherwise” he pushed up his glasses “same to you young man, you need to improve your math skills!”

Uncle Jin was right, I did need help with math “FINE! We’ll do math homework!” We go to retrieve our backpacks and sit at the table “Bet my mom didn’t have to do math homework all the time!”

“She struggled in math too” Uncle Jin chuckled “Your mom wasn’t always the intimidating, super genius innovator everyone paints her as in the media. She was goofy, didn’t understand everything but worked tirelessly to get it right.”

“What about you?” asked Hoshi.

“Myself? I helped her and Mimi with what they struggled with, school and emotional wise.” He sat at the table with us “and they helped me with teamwork.”

“You? Help with teamwork?!” I was in disbelief “But you three are the prime examples of teamwork! How did struggle with that?!”

“I was a lone wolf, since I was a child, nobody wanted to be around me and I didn’t want to be around them. Just on my own until I met those two, I call them my angels” he reminisced “countless times they’ve saved me and were patient with me, eventually I warmed up to the idea of always being by their sides.”

“Did you fall in love with them?” asked Hoshi.

“In a way, not romantically, I love them like the family that never adopted me” He smiled “That family love that’s been missing in my life, they gave it to me willingly and I cherish it with everything I’ve got.” He sighed deeply “So of course I called myself uncle when they had children, it’s what families do! I helped raise them like they were my own.”

“So you found your own family too?” Hoshi responded “Is it bad that I don’t like my dad and found my own family?”

“Family is what you make of it! Blood has nothing to do with it” Uncle Jin put his hand on Hoshi’s shoulder “If you feel seen and found with them, stick with them and never let go.”

I never thought about it like that, finding love in friendship. Made me think that’s the feeling I have with Hoshi. The more I thought about it, the more it made wonder if Hoshi felt the same way. Either way, I’m sticking by him and not letting go! We continued to work on our math homework and other work so we won’t be so behind when we go back. As I washed dishes, I looked out the window and noticed the gray cast of rain-heavy clouds. It’s going to be cold, rainy season soon, well duh! It’s nearing the end of October, nearly the end of the school year. It didn’t seem like that long ago since I entered that classroom for the first time. And now I am where I am, with Hoshi. Later that night, as we crawled into bed, I held him tighter than usual. But he didn’t say anything, just held me just a tight as we drifted off to sleep. Dreams of us growing old together, just like my mom and her friends, danced in my head. I know things are going to be different going forward but I’ll make sure things will be pleasant and comfortable...whatever that’ll mean.

-Day of returning back to the dorms-

“Okay, we’re here” Mom said as she parked “Ready to get things arranged?”

Hoshi took a deep breath “I think so, thank you for helping me out.”

“No problem!” Mom said with a smile “Now, come on, it’s about an hour before school lets out and you’ll need all the uninterrupted time to get your things situated.”

And so started the rearranging of my already small dorm. We got mostly everything moved in, minus things like the bed and desk. We settled with sharing until getting a second bed and all my sewing things will go to the balcony to make room. And just in time too, everyone was making their way to the dorms. Mom walked out to talk to sensei and aunty Midnight as we sat in our room. The girls curiously checked if we were back, to our surprise, they were supportive of Hoshi and now understood our dynamic. None of the boys had a problem with him either but that won’t change the rules in place now. The intel students that helped us were happy that we were back. All of them had our backs and became our friends. I’ve never felt such support! Hoshi was so overwhelmed with the warm welcome back and support that they cried.

-Later that night-

“That shower experience wasn’t so bad” Hoshi said as I brushed their hair.

“You waited until everyone left to get out of the shower” I recalled “and freaked out when I was in my towel at the sink!”

“Well, yea” he turned red “I’ve never seen another naked girl’s body, I’m used to boy’s bodies because of my brothers.”

“Wait, how did you manage in the boy’s bathrooms here?!”

“I’d purposefully be the last one to shower” he laughed “first I brush my teeth, then I get in the shower when everyone is getting out.”

“Makes sense I guess” I said as I finished brushing his hair “Alrighty! Time for bed!”

“Does it bother you that I have breasts?” blurted Hoshi as I got up to put away all my hair care.

“Not at all, breasts don’t define the person” I responded “why?”

“It’s just that, I don’t know, it’s something I’ve been meaning to ask” he diverted his gaze and tucked his legs in “I trust you to where I can take my binder off around you but I see you looking at my chest and I know you’re looking because you’re curious” he rests his chin on his knees “It’s without ill intent but my mind goes there.”

I get embarrassed “Well, I’ll tell you the truth” I close the drawer on my vanity “It’s because I wonder how big they are. Without the binder, they look big and it makes me a little self conscience about my little breasts.”

“Oh....you wanna see them?” He said as he griped the bottom of his shirt.

I was morbidly curious to know, so I gripped the bottom of my shirt “I’ll show you mine, if you show my yours.”

“Deal, on the count of three” he stands up “One..”

“Two...”

“THREE!”

We lift our shirts and just stare at each other’s body. His breasts were big! Like, almost D-cups! I know for sure I have passable B cups but I’m basically flat! But with his muscles, he has an ideal body. I feel my face get red.

“Erm, they’re pretty big” I broke the silence, feeling stupid for saying that.

“You have very nice hips” he responded “I knew you had higher hips but your clothes don’t outline them. And you have nothing to be self conscience about, I think your body is very nice.”

That comment made me look away and pull down my shirt “Okay! I’ve had an eyeful, hehehe” I turned really red “time for bed!”

He did the same “RIGHT! Hehehe” He jumped into bed and laid facing the wall “GOODNIGHT!”

I turned off the light and got into bed “Goodnight Hoshi” I said softly as I laid my head on the pillow.

At some point in the night, Hoshi turned around to face me. In our smaller, more cramped room, he still wants to face me as we sleep. Being this close has it’s moments, I can’t tell you the amount of times I’ve just walked around in my room without pants, forgetting Hoshi is right there. He’s done the same to make me feel less awkward, but we’re not there yet. Later, we learned that the two students that attacked us got expelled. That gives me an overwhelming anxiety that they’ll become villains and hurt us again, but the school reassures us that they won’t get close enough to do anything. Still doesn’t stop me from worrying. Of course there’s a dance coming up middle of November and I really want to go. Mainly because that’s where my parents took their iconic dance photo that my aunty Midnight took of them.

“I’m so excited for this dance!” I squealed as we go to our lockers to change shoes “Do you think we’re cool enough to get invited to the intel after-party?!”

Hoshi was distracted “Hm? Maybe..” he tied his shoe without looking up.

“What’s wrong? You’ve been distracted since after training today” I asked as I took my shoes out of the locker “Did you push yourself too hard?”

“No, it’s just that” he sighed “my brothers texted me say how they can’t do our yearly thing this time because of my dad and my older brother working two jobs.” He stands up “Like not to be a downer but my dad makes my brother feel captive. And my older brother is trying to figure out how to get him out before things get worse.”

“Oh no, I’m sorry that’s happening” I suddenly felt bad for talking about the dance “but what’s the yearly thing you do with your brothers?”

“It’s this thing we do, since our birthdays are all on the same month, we just celebrate on one day” he started to shake off his downer mood “we share the cake, we plan somewhere to go or do, and the best part is that we came up with it ourselves!” he smiled “It was the one thing we had that our dad couldn’t take away, mainly because he’d be working on the day we pick! Last year we took a day trip to Shibuya and came back JUST before our dad came home.”

“That must’ve been thrilling to beat” I giggled “how old are you turning?”

“17, My oldest brother is turning 22 and the one still at home, 20″ he closed his locker door “we planned on going to the temple because my brother turning 20 and having dim sum. But...you know.”

“Oh right!” it was heartbreaking to see him like this “but does that mean you’ll go to the dance?”

“I’m not sure yet” he responded as we walk to the dorms “since everyone knows my secret, I’m not totally comfortable with formal wear or dancing in big groups like that.”

I was a little upset that he said that but what to do? The dance is my one chance to display my sewing skills on something fancy, but on the other hand, Hoshi is going through it. Short on time to decide, I didn’t bring it up and just let fate decide for me...man I’m bad at these things.

-Night of the Dance-

“Lili? You’re still here?” Hoshi said as he returned from his shower “all the girls left already...wait, you’re not even remotely ready!”

“Yea, that’s because I’m not going to the dance” I said as I closed the sliding door from the balcony.

“Why? Is it because the dress-” he pointed at the mannequin on the balcony “where? LILI DID YOU TOSS IT OFF THE BALCONY BECAUSE YOU HATED IT LAST MINUTE?!”

“FIRST OF ALL! I didn’t toss it off the balcony, I gave it to Hangi-san because she couldn’t afford a dress” I stood my ground “SECOND OF ALL! I made the conscience decision to not go.”

“Does that mean you-”

I sighed “Yes, I hard passed Toei-san’s really elaborate dance-posal” the memory was still fresh in my mind “props to him for doing the absolute most, if I liked him like that, I’d say yes. But poor dude, reduced to tears.”

“Well, that still doesn’t answer my question” Hoshi re-shifted to his question “Why? I thought you wanted to go so badly?”

“I did but what’s the fun of going without my best friend?!” I said with a smile “besides, isn’t it approximately you’re birthday?”

“Don’t stay because of me!”

“TOO LATE!” I yelled with a laughed as I revealed a cake on my vanity “my dad dropped this off earlier, he said it’s from his friend’s bakery.” I gestured to the other things on the vanity “also we got a spread of dim sum, courtesy of my uncle Jin. A tank of lemonade, courtesy of my mom, and some gifts.”

Hoshi was in near tears “No way! You sneaky girl!” he covered his face “I can’t believe you literally got all this done while I was training and showering. I have to be dreaming- OW!”

“Oops forgot you do that after they say ‘pinch me, I’m dreaming’, my bad” I laughed at my blunder “WELL! Go on, make a wish.”

“You have to sing the birthday song dummy” he teases as he walked to the cake.

“In Japanese, English or Spanish...AND DON’T SAY YES! I’m not singing all of them!” I made clear.

He laughed “In english then, I like it when you speak in english.”

So I sang the song and he blew out his candles. He opened his gifts and was surprised by the amount, either way, it touched him that so many people cared enough. We huddled under a warm comforter as we ate and watched The Shrek movies, because he doesn’t understand the memes.

He rest his head on my shoulder “I’m going to say it Lili” he looks up into my eyes “I appreciate you and I don’t say it enough. You are the bravest, generous and nicest person I’ve ever met, next to your mom of course.”

“Haha I was about to say” I snickered and leaned my head on his “You’re more than just my friend Hoshi, I share the deepest bond with you that labels can’t describe! You’re precious to me, you make me a better person and most importantly, you humble me.”

“Is it gay that I want to spend the rest of my life with you?”

“Only if you make it gay” I responded “Fellas, is it gay, to grow old with the homies?”

He bursted into laughter “You got me there!” he threw his arms around me “Thank you, for everything.”

I squeezed him back “Happy birthday Hoshi.”

It was a good thing we didn’t go to the dance, the power went out at the venue, causing hysteria of it being a villain attack. Not a villain attack, just the lights burning out. So everyone had to come back to the dorms early while we were having a good time watching all 5 Shrek movies. Tag yourself, I’m Donkey. Hoshi is the Big Bad Wolf. We memorized the memes to the point that every-time we see a big rock at a training ground, we say ‘that’s a nice boulder’ and instantly lose our shit. Yeah we get in trouble for it, but it’s all worth it....Currently, school is out for winter break but it’s not quite time for Christmas, so we’re cooped up bored.

“What do you wanna do today?” ask Hoshi as we take up room in the commons room.

“I wanna go to downtown but we ain’t got a chaperone” I groaned “I wish I was as innovative as my mom when she was in high school. She was always up with her schemes.”

“Hey uh not to interrupt” spoke up the class rep “but there’s a group of students that want to talk to you and Togata-kun.”

“What do they want?” I asked with suspicion “We’re not popular enough to get summoned like this.”

“They didn’t want to tell me the real reason” he responded “they assured me they’re not here to fight, just to make a deal.”

I look at Hoshi “A deal?”

“We’ll go, perhaps it’s something to do” he stands up “thank you Hashima-kun.”

“Be careful, it’s a mix of different classes and years” the class rep warned “I’ll keep an eye out.”

Just outside the dorms were a group of 8 people. I recall seeing them in passing in the halls at school but I’ve never talked to any of them! Wonder what they want.

Hoshi and I walk up to them “Hi, you wanted to see us?” I spoke.

“Yes! We’ve been hoping to talk to you for a while actually” said an upper class-man “You see, we have a lot in common. Everyone here is on the spectrum and like to dance.”

“On the-OH! The queer spectrum!” I was still not getting why they’re here “but what does dance have to do with it?”

“We want to form a group!” blurted someone in the group “and it seems like you know a lot about queer and dance culture. And we didn’t know there was others like us until the zero tolerance rule of the dorm hate crime.”

“Yeah! It was super brave of you to go face to face with the two culprits” blurted another “By forming a group, we can make a safe space for us to express ourselves and protect.”

I ponder their points “Hmmm, that does sound like a good idea” I turn to Hoshi “what do you think?”

“Why not?! I’d love to start a group like this!” Hoshi beamed “New friends!”

“Well, then that settles it!” I laugh “Now we’re a group.”

“YAY! But what now?” said the upperclassman “To be honest, I didn’t plan that far.”

“OH! Why don’t we show them those drag and ballroom competition videos?!” suggested Hoshi “Didn’t you say that it’s a big part of queer history and culture?”

“What’s drag?” asked the group.

I perk up “Ooooh gurl! I’m about to go IN!”

And so we spent most of winter break learning about drag and other queer culture things. Everyone caught on to the dances, some even did drag when we met up! It made me so happy to be part of a group that’s so encouraging and open minded. Hoshi was especially loving the group and the respect they give him. When classes started for the new school year, we decided to meet up once a week to do ballroom style dancing. But the question of where and when was an issue.

“It’s a free weekend this week” Hoshi said as I was getting my shoes out of my locker “ya think we can do a Ki Ki?”

“I want too! But like where?!” I pouted “stupid school and not allowing clubs! We’d get a room for these things.”

Hoshi jumps with his eyes widened “OMG! I just realized something!”

I jump in response “TELL ME!”

“Okay, so you know my quirk right?”

“Uh huh.”

“Crazy idea, but what if I just yeet myself on the other side of the roof access door to open it?”

“That’s the craziest thing you’ve ever said to me” I said as I put my hands on his shoulders “DO IT!”

We exchanged starry-eyed looks to each other and giggled all the way to the dorms. When the class rep went to bed, we slipped away to the stairwell to get to the roof access door. It surprisingly worked.

“Wow that was easier than I thought” Hoshi said after he opened the door “there’s no form of security up here and the door might as well be deadbolt-ed with a cheeto!”

I laughed at that last part “STOP MAKING ME LAUGH!” I hit him playfully “I’m trying to see if anybody could possibly hear a group of 15 people stompin’ up here.”

“Woah look over here Lili” Hoshi said pointing to the skyline “You can see the whole city from here!”

“Wow, you can!” I said in awe “can’t believe we’ve never tried to come up here.” I look up to the sky “And the night is clear enough to see the stars!”

“It’s been a hot minute since we’ve star gazed” He looked up with me “I bet your mom has snuck up here a couple of times.”

“She has! Mr. Hitoshi and my mom, back in the day, would meet up here and hang out” I blushed at the memory “They’d smoke the devils lettuce and make out apparently.”

“Isn’t that the brainwash-hero? Oof, your mom caught the attention of a lot of boys huh?”

“Yup, but I’m happy my dad was the one that make it out of the friend-zone” I sigh “imagine having that purple-haired, baggy eyed man as my dad?!”

“I don’t know, he’s kind of hot” Hoshi blushed and hid his face “your mom has good taste.”

I gasped dramatically “You never blush like this!” I poke his face “TELL ME! Which of the top 20 heroes you think are hot?”

“Like...heh Shoto is top tier attractive and my other two would be” Hoshi admits “Miriko and Kamui.”

“Oh bitch if you think Shoto is hot...he has a brother that visits the house sometimes with him, and he’s even HOTTER!” I explained “Like, you’ll either wet yourself or shit your pants because he’s so sexy in an edgy way. He was in love with my mom around the time she started dating my dad, and my mom stayed loyal and never gave into that man’s advances.”

“That’s true love right there” Hoshi admired “would you give in? If you were in your mom’s position?”

I thought about it “Hmmm, I would also decline that man. Because my dad is trustworthy and truly loves my mom, and I’d stay loyal to the person that loves me like that.”

“In that case....do you have any crushes currently?” he eased into the question.

I looked at him and narrowed my eyes “Why do you want to know?”

“You’re avoiding the question~” he teased “Come on! I see how you look at Neni-kun at our meet ups.”

“I stan an enby, what can I say?! I love their aesthetic” I stood my ground “but I don’t have a crush on anybody, I just want to make friends and sort of figure myself out.”

“Figure yourself out?”

“Yeah! Like, where I am on the spectrum!” I looked back at the skyline “You seem so confident on what you are and what type of person you like, just like the others in the group. But I’m not sure what’s my type, I can’t say I’m gay or bi, and I’m hyper fem but I like the non-binary and other gender portrayals.” I sigh “So I really want to know what am I in that sense.”

“Oh that makes sense” Hoshi responded “but you’re for sure not straight.”

“Hell no!” I giggled “But back to the task, I think this is going to be a perfect spot! And I just need a mix master...”

“Lili, you don’t mean-”

“I going to confront the lighting twins!” I yelled to the sky “And I’m not going to cry this time.”

-The next day, in the support wing-

“Please! I’m on my hands and knees!” I start sobbing in front of the Kaminari twins “I’ll give you anything!”

Hoshi gets second hand embarrassed “Lili, you promised you wouldn’t!” he harshly whispered.

“Hmm, I don’t know sis, what do you think?” said one of them.

“Dore-chan, what say we give our price~” said the other one.

“What is it?” I asked.

The gave me a mischievous look and said in unison “We want the cyberkid makeover! Custom clothing, hair and makeup!”

I look at the two blondes with confusion “That’s all?”

“Yes! Mifa-chan and I want to look cool for once!” Dore huffed and stamped their feet “Daddy doesn’t let us dress up! And Mommy’s style is sooooo out dated!”

“Really? Because I have a whole wad of cash and gift cards to places around here” I shake my fanny pack “I can pay for any-”

“MAKE OVER MAKE OVER MAKE OVER!” screamed the twins in near deafening levels.

“Okay okay! I’ll do it” I pleaded so they could stop “Just let me get your measurements.”

After I get their measurements and what exactly they wanted, Hoshi and I walked back to class before break was over.

“I didn’t know they had a volume quirk” Hoshi broke the silence.

“That’s Dore’s quirk, Amplification” I explained “Mifa’s quirk is Electro-Current. So it’s super fitting to see them in the support department but they’re super bratty!” I groaned remembering our childhood “They’re older than me but they’ve always been like this! I didn’t grow up with them but they’d want all the clothes and fashions I had, but the thing was that I’d make the clothes with my quirk. I offer to make the item for them but they run to their dad for anything. To be honest, their dad is such a dunce!”

“So what makes them redeeming?”

“Oh they’re super musically talented! They specialize in music mixing and even got a side business in DJ-ing!”

Hoshi opens the door to our classroom “Well I guess they’re the right fit for this.”

“What are you two up to?” confronted the class rep, arms crossed “it’s Friday before the free weekend and there was yelling down in the wing over...care to explain what that was about?”

I scoff “So I got another sewing commission, you worry too much class rep!”

“Are you serio- Iida-san! It’s year two! You have to know my name by now!”

“Psh! Of course I know!” I crossed my arms “I’m just being respectful!”

“Hahaha! We should take our seats now Lili!” Hoshi said as he pushed me to our desks “sorry to cause suspicion!” We sat down and Hoshi whispers “you don’t remember his name do you?”

“It’s starts with an ‘H’ right?” I responded meekly and Hoshi facepalmed himself softly “HEY! Give me some credit for remembering the first letter!”

“Oh Lili, you’re such a mess” he broke into soft laughter “It’s Hashima. But at the rate you’re going, it’s going to take you another 6 years to remember his full name!”

Class started and I was still processing that roast. Sensei announced the start of adjunct training with 3rd year starting at the end of the month. I check the syllabus and that’s 3 weeks away, and this Saturday is the 10th of February...February huh? Just a year ago I was so confused about my place in this hero world but it doesn’t feel like it was that long ago. My mom’s birthday wasn’t celebrated this year for some reason, which I find super weird since my dad goes the distance for celebration. I wonder how my mom is doing actually, I haven’t talked to her since classes started. After school I video call the house.

“Hello?”

“Iwee? Is mom home?”

“Nope, it’s friday night Lili” Iwa said as he crunched on some chips “she’s out on some agent work until late.”

“Oh that’s right, forgot” I sighed “I just wanted to check in on her, since her birthday wasn’t celebrated and I haven’t really talked to her.”

“Don’t feel bad” Iwa sat on the couch and sighed “she broke down pretty bad to the point that uncle Jin and aunty Mimi had to step in. She’s better now but that little stunt scared me and the other two.” He put the bag of chips down on the coffee table “Nobody is home right now, so I can tell you the tea.”

“Yes, please tell me.” I said with concern.

“Okay, so I guess mom got word from home that things got worse. And it’s not about family but about her hometown? That set her off and she send off like waves of energy that sent a bunch of things flying. Lucky for me, I was sitting at the top of the stairwell and nothing hit me but dad wasn’t so lucky. He got slammed against the wall like he was a limp noodle! That’s when uncle and aunty warped in to calm her, dad wasn’t seriously injured but he wasn’t tending to mom like he usually would. I kept the other two from going downstairs and mom was taken somewhere with uncle and aunty. Dad couldn’t explain what happened and mom doesn’t want to talk about it.”

I was in shock “Did they say anything was going to change or happen?”

“Nope, it’s almost like they’re sweeping everything under the rug” Iwa made his worried face “it’s just so weird! Dad is always so open and honest about things if mom doesn’t want to talk about something. He’s pretending like it wasn’t a huge deal and it’s not settling well with me!”

“I get you, that’s so weird” I’m even more worried than before “well, if that’s all you know about it, what else is new?”

“Middle school is pretty okay, it’s jazz season and I’m getting my ass on the keys. Tensei got in trouble for wearing his anarchy shirt on free dress day, Hanaka beat one of the Todoroki’s ass in a flame-off.”

“Oh shit which one?”

“Kaisu”

“THAT EDGY PIECE OF SHIT?! You know what,” I gave an approving look “that boy deserves to get his ass beat, bet his daddy and grandpa were ashamed.”

“Yeah, because Hanaka didn’t even use her fire to win” he started laughing “she straight up threw hands and tackled him! Dad was panicking and mom was like ‘you’re doing great sweetie!’. His dad broke up the fight and Kaisu looked fucked up that little girl beat him without fire.”

“That’s what he gets for teasing us all those years!” I huffed “He’s fortunate to have the hot Todoroki as his dad, otherwise he has nothing else going for him.”

“Seriously! But now Hanaka has gained the favor of the Todorokis because of this” he slumped “Now we gotta go to all their estate events.”

“Eww disgustang! They’re grooming her to marry into their family?!” I gagged “Hanaka should beat old man Endeavor and inherit everything without marrying into that mess!”

“Mom said the same thing on the way home!” Iwa recalled “but it seems like Hanaka won’t be giving in to the Todorokis, she knows her worth.”

“Good! I’m glad things are going alright with out me” I smile “I miss you guys.”

“Oh stop! I’m going to cry!” whined Iwa, trying to hold it together “I miss you too! Hopefully we can spend another weekend together soon, the house is too quiet.”

“I’ll try to see if I can come by on Sunday possibly” I responded “tell everyone I said hi!”

“I will! Work hard and be safe!” he started to wave me off “tell Hoshi I said hi!”

“I’ll tell him, bye bye Iwee!”

“Adios Lili!”

I clicked end call and closed my laptop, I see why mom always worried after something happens when she’s not there. Trying to refocus on things, I send out the text to our group on our Ki Ki on the dorm roof. Better get started on those outfits.

Nuts and Bolts

Sweet Pea x reader

Synopsis: You're studying law while your boyfriend gets in trouble with it. Desperate to find some money to afford an engagement ring for you, Sweet Pea seeks help from a Ms.Peabody.

A/N: sorry I haven't posted in ages between Christmas and exams I've been wrecked. I wrote this a little differently than how I'd normally do it. Hope you like the idea and aren't to mad about the execution. Feed back welcomed especially with the new (for me) format. This fic is really long, so long I didn't have enough space to do the Love Chrissy Xx, so love Chrissy Xx. (This is also why some speech towards the end has to be on the same line my apologies)

------------------------------------

“Sweet Pea?” The Serpent woke you, surrounded by books, as he dragged his feet and clicked the door close.

“Oh sorry baby, go back to sleep you have college in the morning” he peeled his wet Serpent jacket from his skin and began changing.

“It's like 4am, did the Serpents really need you this late?” you shoved the law books from the bed.

“Yeah they did, lot more to do lately.” he huffed, collapsing alongside of you, the bed bending slightly more with the new weight. You immediately cuddled up to him, he willingly accepting it. His skin cold from the night instantly warmed.

“what was the job Pea?”

“I'd rather you not know, it'll be easier for you to lie to the police then when they come looking to take me away” he laughed as you playfully hit him into the chest.

“Don't joke about that Pea”

“Well I mean on the brightside our conjugal visits would be pretty great”

“Are they not now? I'm going to be a lawyer, I could get you off” you winked and the your hand slipped up the inside of his shirt, running over the bumps and grooves of his muscular frame. You both met hungrily before Sweet Peas phone buzzed to life, you both groaning at the sound of being interrupted.

“Sorry honey do you mind?” You smiled at him before kissing him and reburying yourself in his chest as he went for his phone.

As if on cue your phone lit to life, Unknown Number decorating the screen, it continued to buzz as texts came flying in.

“Wait yn!” He snatched the phone from your hand and you looked on confused.

“Woah Pea” you laughed before taking it back from his tight grip and reading the texts, your face dropped.

“Sweet Pea…” you looked from the phone to him, sat up and pushed away from him, he also sat up and attempted to move back closer to you.

“Wha-whats wrong yn” every possible scenario running through his head, he reached for your arm and you pulled back.

3 Weeks Earlier ~ Sweet Pea POV

“Okay Fangs I've decided, I'm going to propose”

“Wow no ring, you're not down on one knee, I'm sorry SP but I can't accept” he put one hand on his heart and the other to his head before I shoved him.

“Oh Sweet Pea we can't! We’re only 23! What will our parents say! What about ynn!” He continued to act like the idiot he is as I laughed at him.

“youre right Fangs you're right, I'll have to just settle for yn, I don't deserve you”

“I'm afraid so Pea”

“Don't call me Pea” I looked at him seriously before laughing again.

“So after what? 7 years together you've decided it's time?” He took a drag from his cigarette, the Whyte Wyrm lights glowing behind us.

“Almost 8, in about 3 weeks” I crushed my own cigarette into the gravel.

“That's exciting SP, congrats dude! When you gonna do it?

“Not sure, I guess our anniversary?”

“Yeah sounds just cheesy enough for yn to love it but still mock you for it”

“Hah yeah, I think she'll love it”

“So how are you going to pay for the wedding?”

“Well I mean we won't have to get married right away so there's time to save. We probably won't get married till after yn finishes Law next year at least”

“What about the ring?”

“When did you become a Wedding Planner?” I laughed and he crushed his cigarette next to mine, he then put his hands up in defense.

“Nah man, just wondering, rings are like expensive and we're not exactly making a killing at the garage and she'll probably want a diamond not a bolt”

“Yeah I guess but I'll figure it out. Anyway there's still time, I better get going, she'll be home soon and you know I like to be there. We'll probably come back for a drink later” he smiled before giving a small wave and escaping the chill night back in the bar. Huh, where am I going to get this money, I threw my hands in my pockets and began my walk home but was first interrupted.

“So, SP is marrying the small town Northsider, fairytale”

“What do you want Penny?” I replied harshly to the voice behind me. This witch.

“Nothing nothing, just, yanno, Northsiders do want the big fairytale wedding” she ran her hand across my shoulders before standing in front of me. Snake in the grass.

“And?”

“And like Fangs said, costs a lot of money, a lot of money you don't have” she jabbed her finger into chest. Ugh, hate her. I tried to move passed her but she instantly pushed me back.

“i have money you know SP, I could help you”

“I don't want your help”

“Suit yourself, I'm sure the Northsider will stick around for the nuts and bolts you Gearheads provide” she began sauntering off. I will not bite the bait. I will not bite the bait. I will not bite the bait. Damn it.

“Penny wait” she turned with a smirk. Damn it.

“What's the price?”

“Few favours”

“It's never a few with you”

“It's a simple favour.” Her grin was soul crushing, this is a giant mistake. Yn is worth it.

“What's the favour?”

“Take my niece to a family wedding, might give you ideas for your own” this was the last thing I was expecting her to say and she could easily tell.

“See, easy” this is not going to be easy.

2 Weeks later

It was not easy. It was horrible. Her niece, Annie, was 21 and a mess. I had to lie to yn and tell her I was working late at the garage, hated it. Hated the wedding even more. Loud. Abrasive. Peabody's everywhere. Annie was drunk for most of it and under Penny's instruction I walked her back to her room after. Then had to practically peel her off me. Uncomfortable.

“So time for your next job”

“No Penny I did what I had to” I went to close the trailer door but she jammed her foot before I could.

“Heard you bought a nice ring recently, cost a bunch I'd say? A bunch you don't have” if I could, I'd kill her but the only grave I'm digging is for myself. Fuck.

Present ~ Sweet Pea Pov

“Yn, honey tell me what's wrong” she was already out of the bed, getting dressed, grabbing things and shoving them in a bag.

“What's wrong?!” I crawled me way to the edge of the bed, grabbed the bag from her hands and unpacked while she continued getting dressed.

“What's wrong!?” She shouted back. She never shouts at me...she rarely shouts at me.

“Yeah!”

“Why is someone sending me photos of you and some girl in some hotel room!” She threw the phone at my chest, definitely going to leave a mark. The phone showed me in the hotel room with Annie, when she was hauling me onto the bed. Nothing happened but this made it really look like something did. Fuck Penny, trying to take the only good thing I have from me.

“Yn…” I looked up and she stood over me, nothing but hurt on her face.

“I can explain” I didn't want to have to explain.

“Well?!”

“Emmm” she groaned at me, throwing her head back before grabbing the bag from me again and ripping things from the dresser and her books from the floor.

“Oh and happy anniversary” she hurled a box and narrowly missed my head and then slammed every door of the trailer. Fuck.

I got dressed as fast as possible, grabbed my Serpent jacket before bolting out the door after her, the rain still hammering the aptly named Sunnyside.

“Yn please! Where are you going!?”

“I DON'T KNOW! JUST AWAY FROM YOU!” she continued pounding the pavement outside the fence of the park. I caught up to her easily, the law books weighing her down.

“Listen that was a job for Penny!”

“Excuse me!” She stopped suddenly sending me slamming into her.

“Okay well no that's not what I meant!”

“WELL WHAT DO YOU MEAN THEN?! what do you mean” the sight of her crying hurt me more than anything I could think of. I just grabbed her and pulled her into my chest.

“I needed money and Penny gave it to me, I just needed to take her niece to a wedding and then some other things and then I'd have enough money and her niece just got super drunk but I swear, yn I swear nothing happened, please believe me” I pulled her from my chest to look her right in her beautiful, sad eyes.

“I-I think-i want to believe you Pea...but why did we need money? It's not my college fees I'm on scholarship? Is it the trailer? What is it?”

“Umm” okay okay okay. It's a good sign she said We and not I and she still called me Pea, good signs.Breathing, breathing, breathing, okay, okay, okay and then I dropped down to one knee and pulled the little box from the leather pocket.

“This is what the money was for” I peeled back the lid to reveal the stone I could have never afforded without Penny. The witch. Yn covered her mouth and I was losing confidence.

“Yn Yln, I love you, please please please will you marry me” “No” I'm going to be sick.

“Wh...wha” I just couldn't find my words, my ribcage was collapsing on itself.

“I wont marry you with that ring” she dropped her arms to her sides and bit her lip before pulling me up from my knees.

“I don't understand”

“You take that ring back and get a refund and then take the money back to that witch”

“Bu-but the ring” “I don't care about the ring Pea!”

“But fangs said-” she rolled her eyes and I just realised how stupid I sounded.

“I couldn't care less if you gave me a freaking bolt or something! Just please take back the ring and get away from that woman” “And after I give back the ring….”

“Then I guess I'll have to marry you” her smile was the best possible thing I could see after she gave me a mini heart attack. “You have to have a ring” I began rummaging through my pockets at her protest before pulling out the contents of my pockets. My keys, a button, a bolt and some change. “Emm” I took the bolt and slipped it on her baby finger and she laughed.

“Perfect I love it, except it's super cheesy you're proposing to me on our anniversary, I still love it” I laughed at her and grabbed her tightly around the waist. I adore this girl. I kissed her furiously.

“The Serpent's may have just got a new lawyer”

“Yeah and now you owe me a favor” I raised my eyebrow at her before kissing her.

“You have to carry these books back home...and me home”

"Deal" I adore her.

Peggy to the rescue

Starter for @purosdecorazon

An intern came into Peggy's office and dropped off the latest reports. She and Howard had every available agent scouring the world, following every story, every possible lead, and had done so for years. Peggy sipped her coffee and read the new information, pouring over the text and closely examining the pictures.

She had glasses perched on her nose, but they were just for effect really. Peggy didn't need them. Her vision was razor sharp, and had been now for the better part of sixty years. All her senses were. A beautiful ring in the shape of Steve's shield glinted on her hand as she held a photograph, staring at it intently. Howard had made the ring for her himself, at her request, the day her life changed…forever.

Peggy looked as young today as she had when she'd served alongside Daniel Sousa and Jack Thompson in the SSR. The reason for that was simple, and yet very complex. Peggy Carter was a vampire. No one aside from Howard knew, though.

Howard had managed to recreate the Super Soldier serum and had used himself as a test subject, successfully, and everyone else assumed that she had taken a dose of it as well. Most of her typical abilities as well as longer lifespan could technically be attributed to such an occurrence, and they had never corrected anyone. The ring she wore had been spelled to allow her to walk in daylight, thus assisting with the illusion that she was perfectly normal. Let them think what they liked.

As Peggy stared at the photo in her hands, something clicked in her mind. Sifting through the papers on her desk, she found the report she wanted. Yes, that was it. She was right. He was alive!

As much as she wanted to literally run into Howard's office screaming for joy, she was still one of the founding members of SHIELD, and had to act professionally. Peggy rose from her desk and walked, pertinent papers and photos in hand, slowly down the hall. Her heart pounded in her chest. A barely audible whisper still reached her ears, however. Everything okay, Peg? Not at all, Howard, but thank you for asking.

Outside Howard's office, she was greeted by his secretary. Peggy's years of patience kept her from visibly rolling her eyes, much less throttling the woman. "Mister Stark is in a meeting with Colonel Fury. The Colonel asked that they not be disturbed," the young woman, whose name was Lynnette, spoke up before Peggy even opened her mouth.

Now Peggy rolled her eyes. "Is that so?" she asked, leaning over, palms flat on the desk in front of her, looking Lynnette in the eyes. "You had a family emergency and had to leave early to deal with it. Because Mister Stark is in a meeting, I gave you the rest of the week off,” Peggy said to the young woman. Lynnette repeated the words back to Peggy, and then got up and left the office. Peggy watched her leave, smirking. "Ah, compulsion. What a wonderful thing."

Trying the knob on the door to Howard's office, and finding it locked, it was too easy for her to open it with a twist of her wrist. The doorknob now broken, the door fell open at her touch. She grinned unrepentantly at Howard and Nick. "Oops."

"Everything okay, Peg?" Howard asked, repeating his words from moments before. And as before Peggy replied, "Not at all, Howard."

Turning to Nick, she glared at him. "Might I remind you, Nicholas, that you do not give the orders here?"

Tears in her eyes, she turned back to Howard. "The latest reports…have you read them?"

"We both have, but there wasn't anything special to note in any of it," Fury answered.

"Are you certain of that, Nicholas?" Peggy asked him, her tone cold enough to freeze the air. "I suggest you look again."

She'd have made that last statement a compelled request, but she'd always caught a very mild scent of vervain around the former soldier. Peggy thought maybe he might have had a bit of it in his eyepatch. It would have been the perfect place for it. Peggy herself was largely immune to the plant that was commonly used as a weakening agent against vampires, in mild to moderate doses at any rate. Her mentor had taught her that by ingesting small amounts of it daily, she could build up a tolerance to its effects, and so she had been drinking it in her coffee every morning for decades.

"He's alive, Howard," Peggy stated bluntly. "And from what those reports indicate, he is a prisoner. Has been for many years. I am going to go find him…and bring him home." She spun on her heel, casually tossing over her shoulder to her old friend, "Are you coming, or do I have to do this all by myself?"

***

Back in her office, Peggy opened a secret panel in the wall. A door opened, and she stepped inside. Peggy stood in a small but serviceable room that held everything that she needed for this operation. Weapons, not that she truly needed any, as she herself was deadly now. Still, there were appearances to keep up, and it was nice to have options.

Also stored in this room was a suit specially made for Peggy by her godson, Tony. Very much like his Ironman suits, but in the colors Steve used to wear. Like his father, Tony also knew what Peggy really was, and wanted to protect his godmother at all costs, particularly when he'd heard some of the stories Peggy told about what life was like as a vampire. Once Howard found out Tony had made the suit, he'd gone over it himself to make sure it was immune to most, if not all of a vampire's weaknesses. He knew more about Peggy's life as a vampire than did his son, hell he'd lived it. Even invented a few things that had helped keep Peggy and her mentor Claire safe over the years.

Once Peggy had stepped into the suit and it had closed up around her, she glanced in the mirror out of habit. The main body of the suit was a muted navy blue, but across the chest were three stripes, done in silver versus white, so as not to stand out quite so much. In the center of the stripes was a star, colored red. This star was in the same spot on Peg's suit where Tony's arc reactor was in his suits. And like her godson's this section of the suit had a special purpose. The star was in fact a small hollow compartment, which held a fresh supply of blood, usually a few blood bags. Tony and Howard kept it that way when they knew she might use the suit for an extended mission. This certainly qualified.

Peggy and Howard's offices were on the top floor, and Tony had installed an exit in the roof for his godmother when she chose to use her suit. Bringing the onboard computer systems online, she spoke to Tony's AI. "FRIDAY, please inform Howard I will meet him at the airfield in fifteen minutes."

"Of course, Agent Carter," FRIDAY replied.

Then Peggy took off into the morning sky, towards Howard's private air strip. She could have flown there herself, it wasn't like the suit wasn't capable. Tony had flown all over the world in his suits after all. But she'd need Howard and his plane for bringing Steve home. The reports had given plenty of information, if one bothered to read them, but they did not say what state Steve was in. His physical condition, much less mental or emotional one. Peggy had no illusions that he'd likely been heavily and repeatedly drugged or even perhaps brainwashed. There was just no other way for anyone to have held Steve captive for this long.

Once at the airstrip she and Howard wasted no time. He'd gotten the plane ready so they just got on board and Howard took off as soon as he got proper clearance. Peggy slipped out of her suit and grabbed a fresh blood bag that Howard kept on the plane, making sure she'd be strong and ready to face whatever they found when the plane finally landed. After her meal, she decided to try and sleep some. It was going to be a long flight and she knew she'd be impatiently harassing Howard if she were awake the whole time, like a child pestering their parent during a long drive. He didn't need that right now.

She awoke several hours later and made her way to the cockpit. She'd been around Howard Stark long enough and in enough planes with the man…she could read an instrument panel almost as well as he could. She knew where they were…or more precisely, where they weren't. Glancing down at her old friend fondly, she ruffled his hair. "Would it help if I got out and pushed?"

Howard reached up and squeezed her hand. "It might," he winked. "I'm taking an alternate route…so we can sneak up on them. I mean Tony and I have this bird covered in stealth tech, but…" he paused meaningfully.

She nodded. "I know. Better to be safe than sorry. But you do realize…anyone that gets in between Steve and I…"

Howard shuddered lightly. "I keep forgetting that you're not just my friend Peggy sometimes. I forget that you're also…"

"A vicious killer?" Peggy teased. "I mean…I am. That's what vampires are, Howard, but I only kill those who deserve it. I've told you this before. Becoming a vampire is in many ways like taking the serum. The qualities you had before are amplified now. I've always been a good person, willing to fight for what's right, and defend those I love. I still am. Now…can we go rescue Steve, please?"

***

Howard landed the plane near the base where Peggy's information said Steve was being kept. The place was huge, reminding Peggy of Steve and Bucky's reports of the base where Bucky had been held captive at Azzanno. She and Howard made their way through the woods and fought their way inside, Peggy conserving her bloodlust for when they were closer to Steve.

Slowly and methodically the super soldier and the vampire went down halls and turned corners, cutting down everyone in their path. Until they came upon a group of soldiers surrounding a man in a suit very similar to hers…except his was solid black and had the HYDRA symbol on it in crimson red. The man…

"Steve?" Peggy breathed, unable to believe her eyes. Yes, she'd read the reports, but seeing it in person…Steve, her beloved Captain America…apparently willingly fighting for HYDRA? It just couldn't be.

Kyoto, Osaka, come on pretty mama

From July 22-24, I took a long weekend to Osaka, Japan. I was super excited to return to this beautiful country after visiting Tokyo last fall, but Osaka was an entirely different (and equally amazing) place.

Saturday, July 22

I left my apartment at 6AM and grabbed a cab to the airport. It was so early when I got there that nothing was open – not even 7-11! Luckily, by the time I got to my terminal, my ~*white girl senses*~ detected the lone Starbucks, which had just opened for the day. I enjoyed a light breakfast while browsing the web on one of Hong Kong International’s iMacs with free internet access. (CC Every other airport: GET ON THIS LEVEL!)

I landed at Kansai International Airport just before 2:00 PM, and breezed through Customs and baggage claim. I was a little nervous about the next part: finding my way to my hotel via public transportation. Handily, I still had my Pasmo card from my Tokyo trip (basically a personalized subway card that works throughout Japan), and I was relieved to find that the add value machines could be toggled to English. I had no trouble finding the train to Tennoji, where I would be staying for the next two nights. (By the way, this was a NICE TRAIN. We’re talking comfy seats, plenty of storage room for luggage, and free WiFi.) (Other things I’d like to borrow from Japan: public restrooms in every train station, boarding areas and train cars for women only, and people willingly helping you if you appear to be lost or in need.)

After just over thirty minutes, I arrived in Tennoji. Google Maps was quickly becoming my best friend; I soon found that my hotel was just steps away from the station. My room was a shoebox, but I didn’t need much space for just myself – and I knew I wouldn’t be spending much time there anyway.

After checking in and freshening up, it was time to embark on my first adventures in Osaka.

Knowing I would only have about half a day in the city, I didn’t plan too much to do. I headed straight for Dotonbori, a popular shopping and dining district parted by a canal. It only took about 15 minutes to get there from Tennoji. Quickly I realized that this was indeed the Times Square of Osaka; the walls were plastered with flashy, vibrant billboards and LED screens, and the crowded streets headlined big name brands like Forever21, Starbucks, and H&M.

I made an obligatory stop at the massive Forever21, then wandered the streets in search of some local fare. My first pick was Ramune (or Lamune) flavored gelato. Ramune is a soft drink that comes in several flavors, and its name comes from an attempt to translate the English word “lemonade” into Japanese. I was pleasantly surprised with this treat, which was peppered with tiny bursts of sour candy.

I then headed across the canal to Shinsaibashi-Suji (try saying that ten times fast), another shopping area enclosed in a long hallway. Inside were many more famous brands like Tommy Hilfiger and Lush, but what I was in search of was the Disney Store. Obviously.

I’m proud to report that I only bought TWO things for myself (and one for Homer).

After that, it was about time for dinner. I decided to try to find a place along the waterfront, eventually settling on a restaurant that specialized in kushikatsu. This is basically any food you can think of, deep fried and skewered, and Osaka is famous for it. Unfortunately, there was no room outside, so I was seated indoors at the bar. As soon as I walked in, the staff all greeted me with a hearty cheer. I have no idea what they said, but it was definitely an Osaka welcome. I think I ordered a grilled onion, some asparagus wrapped in bacon, duck and scallions, potato, and beef neck. All of them were DELICIOUS, and I got to watch the chefs make them right in front of me.

About five minutes after I was seated, a very friendly local sat down next to me and immediately started talking to me about his basketball game, how much he loved Osaka, and what kind of souvenirs I should bring back. In America, I would have definitely been wary and creeped out by a guy approaching me at a bar. But in Osaka, people are for the most part genuinely friendly and good-natured. We had an enjoyable conversation over kushikatsu, and then parted ways. It was refreshing to feel welcomed by a stranger, rather than creeped out or afraid of being followed. In that way, Japan has a totally different spirit than anywhere I’ve been in the world.

Having finished dinner, I set out to accomplish my next must-do: Shineskai. This is another area famous for its street food and outrageous landmarks: giant 3D octopus signs, a boat hanging over the front of a restaurant, and the Tsutenkaku Tower. Dozens of restaurants advertise every kind of fried food you can imagine, as well as shaved ice, ice cream, and even a restaurant where you go fishing for your own meal! It’s wild, to say the least.

Since I’d already eaten, I mostly just wandered around taking photos and shopping for souvenirs. My hotel was only a 13 minute walk away, but I was pretty tired, so I opted for taking the metro.

Sunday, July 23

This was my big sightseeing day. I was up by 9:00, ready to scout out some breakfast and fuel up for several hours of exploration. Without too much trouble, I located a cafe in the mall attached to the metro station (“Mio”) which advertised pancakes and coffee. That’s really all I wanted.

First on the to-do list was Osaka Castle. This was about a half an hour trek away from Tennoji, and is definitely an Osaka must-do. Osaka Castle dates back to 1597, and is a popular tourist destination. Upon arriving, I learned that a few hundred yen will buy you a buggy ride up to the castle, but the walk wasn’t terribly strenuous, so I opted out. The castle itself was pretty awesome, but I thought somehow it looked bigger in pictures.

Thank you to the kind traveler girls who saved me from my selfie nonsense!

This was a quick stop; I only spent about 15 minutes on the castle grounds before heading out to Kyoto. It took me about 90 minutes to get there (it would have taken less time if I hadn’t at one point boarded an express train that wouldn’t stop at Fushimi-Inari, resulting in one more transfer than I’d planned on). The thing that makes the Japanese subway more confusing than, say, Hong Kong’s, is that it is operated by two different companies. So it’s not enough to know which color line you’re taking; you also need to know which company that line is on. Then you need to make sure the train you’re getting on will actually stop at your destination, because some of them are express. It just takes a little extra diligence, and a lot of help from Google Maps. Because everything in this part of Japan is so spread out, I feel like I spent half of my trip on the train. But when I finally arrived in Kyoto, the fresh air and overcast sky were just what I needed. My destination was Fushimi-Inari Taisha, a famous temple distinguished by its orange arches that seem to go on forever.

On the way to the temple were a multitude of food stands, gift shops, and cafes, which I ignored initially and headed straight up the hill. The main shrine was grand and bright, ornamented with paper lanterns. Inside, people were meditating; outside, people were ringing a ceremonial bell.

More like ka-YOOT-o, amirite?

Further up the path was a path through the orange arches, and eventually a staircase leading to Mount Inari. I figured it would be an easy climb, so I attempted it. It was only after climbing 80 million stairs and realizing I was only halfway there that I audibly said, “Nope, I’m done,” and headed back down, much to the amusement of a few English-speaking tourists.

The view from ~*halfway*~ up Mount Inari because I was not about that stair-climbing life anymore.

On the way down, I stopped at a few of the souvenir shops and also snacked on a fried strand of potato chips on a stick, just like the ones we have on Cheung Chau Island. I then stopped at a cafe for lunch before heading out to my final point of interest: Nara Park.

This was perhaps the thing I was looking forward to most about my Japan trip. Nara Park is a large, open area, populated by domesticated deer. Local legends explain the deer as a gift from a Japanese god who once appeared in the area, and they have been under the protection of the government ever since. Today, you’ll see tourists showing up in droves to feed special deer crackers to the creatures. I had so much fun doing this that I bought three packs and spent an hour with these beautiful animals. I had never seen a deer up close before, let alone forty or fifty of them. They were so sweet, and they nuzzle you like puppies. Here are some of our greatest hits...

Taking a selfie with a deer is harder than it looks, especially since they do not care about you after the food is gone.

Perhaps the most en-DEER-ing (haha, ha) thing about this experience is that the deer will actually bow to you. They’re very polite.

On my way out of Nara Park, I stumbled on Kofuku-ji Temple and decided to pop in a take a few photos. There were even more deer in that area! They really do roam free. People were even making sure no cars hit them while they blissfully crossed the road and munched on grass in the median.

Even though I only hit three major attractions that day, I was still exhausted from all the traveling. It took me over an hour to get from Nara back to Dotonbori, where I had planned to have dinner. But when I arrived, I didn’t have the energy to deal with the crowds. So I decided instead to have a low-key dinner in the shopping mall near my hotel. I enjoyed a set of noodles in soup, a rice ball, and some fried dumplings.

Monday, July 24

My last day in Osaka was purposely a lightly-packed one. I had breakfast at a place called Tree Cafe inside Tennoji Station, then did some last-minute shopping in the nearby mall. I then decided to try walking to Shineskai, which would have been a lot more doable if it hadn’t been 90 degrees out and sunny. Overall though, when it comes to weather I was extremely fortunate on this trip; it was supposed to rain all weekend, but I didn’t see a single drop. And most of the time, the cloudy skies prevented it from getting too hot.

Before I knew it, it was time to return to Home Kong. My original flight had been delayed, but miraculously, I was plucked out of the check-in line and offered a spot on an earlier flight! I was given the last available seat in an exit row, which meant more legroom. Definitely nice to end the trip on a high note!

As always when traveling solo, this trip really proved to me that I still have a strong sense of independence. I’m proud to say that I never once got on a train going the wrong way, and I never got lost. I tried new things, but I lived responsibly. This getaway was just the rejuvenating kickstart I needed to return to “normal life” with a fresh outlook.

Just like the last time I visited Japan, I felt that I never wanted to leave. I could definitely see myself living here in the future. The culture in Osaka is one of kindness, humility, and inclusion. The air is clean (everything is clean) and there are still so many more sights to see. Maybe next time I’ll spend some more time in Kyoto, and even stay in an authentic Japanese inn! (But only if I can get the image of a scary yurei haunting a ryokan from Nancy Drew: Shadow at the Water’s Edge out of my head.) Until next time, Japan!

Stay tuned for my next adventure: Homer and I will be traveling to Seoul, South Korea, to see my old friend Taryn in the Korean tour of Cats!

oooo so i got tagged by both @elroymarvelous (something like a week ago i’m so sorry) and @greetings-from-the-suffer-puppet (yesterday :p) to do this alphabet questions thing! let’s go!!

a - age: 19

b - birthplace: düsseldorf, nrw (it’s in germany) (it’s the best city in germany) (95 olé)

c - current time: 11:38 am

d - drink you had last: some neat sparkling water, also i pretended to drink chips rings but they’re solid so idk whether that counts

e - easiest person to talk to: @greetings-from-the-suffer-puppet , cause we have somehow absolutely /no/ need for filters and we’ve talked about some things we would never, ever talk about with other people :D (hey ryn, remember the scintillating convo we had recently involving chrispy? good times) and also @loststarlight bc she’s a very bad person who got me into a ship and enables me to write fic for it and sends me unacceptable photo posts and totally made me watch doom!! which i didn’t want to do.. at.. all *sweats nervously and holds hand over pocket that’s def not bulging with karl pics... and bruce... and chrispy...*

f - favorite song: atm it’s a tie between sabotage by the beastie boys and ..... every time we touch by cascada (look, i’m technically a rock person, but sometimes it’s midnight, you’ve had about 5hrs of sleep every night, you know you have at least one more hour of super complicated chemistry to do, you’ve had a long ass day, you’re really hungry, just had a bowl of cereal and are fast approaching an ultra sugar high. what better to party with than that song??)

g - grossest memory: story time! during grades 9-12, i sometimes liked walking home instead of doing the hour long tram and bus ride. idk, it was a self reflection / relaxing thing, which i still kinda do. there was a short tunnel i had to go through. nothing scary, it was literally just the street and a pavement on each side, it was short, well lit, in an okay neighborhood, there were frequently people around etc. so really, really, not scary / gross. one day i’m walking and i see a guy of maybe my age coming towards me ahead of me, so i go to one side of the pavement, while he goes to the other, i’m doing the staring ahead thing which will morph into a lightning quick checking the other person over thing once we pass each other. it’s a thing i do. so we’re just about to pass each other, and he pushes up his tee shirt (it was summer/spring) and ... there’s just... his erection. which he consciously shows to me. and he says something which i didn’t hear cause i’m listening to music, but i do physically recoil a little, my shoulder brushes the tunnel wall but i keep walking, pretending nothing happened, and i remember thinking to myself “the fact that you know now that you won’t believe yourself later that you didn’t make this up is the only thing that’ll make you believe it really happened.”, and just because i know i thought that then already, i believe myself that i didn’t make it up cause man, i kinda wanted to pretend it didn’t happen. and that’s the story of the first ever real life erection i saw! yay! now you know things about me you didn’t want to know!

h - horror yes or no: noooooo pls i get scared easily. even bad horror movies (ie doom) can scare me a bit. esp jumpscares??? the worst imo

i - in love?: nah. never been, either *shrug emoji*

j - jealous of people?: klasjdlfjasdlf i get really jealous of how people manage to socially interact with such ease?? and just... talk to other people and aren’t awkward and make friends?? a wild concept

k - killed someone?: ok so i know we should all either answer something cool and quirky or no!! of course not!! but i have a story. (fuck ok now y’all think i actually killed a person. disclaimer: i didn’t. but i was close) ok so i was doing my three months mandatory nurse work for studying medicine, and around the second month there was this old lady (93yo i think), who’d just gotten i think a new hip? and before her op she was surprisingly mobile with her walking frame and just really cute and chipper and also scared of her op. afterwards, she went to the icu, as was scheduled bc she was so old, and and then she got back to her regular station, and she was slowly but surely learning how to sit up and stand up again and then also walk. she had major pain problems and her leg had gotten stiff, but she really was a champ, and i really liked her. also, to make some infusions (ie pain meds) easier, she’d gotten a central venous catheter, ie a catheter into the vein right at the bottom of her neck. and then it was time to take it out bc she’d gotten so much better, and there was a doctor there and i was just doing some work or something in the same room (i think we just got done helping the patient dress), and the doctor knew i wanted to study medicine, so she asked me whether i wanted to take it out with her help. i said yes, and then the doctor got a call and took it and told me to go ahead and detach the iv drip line from the catheter. which i did. then i waited for the doctor to finish her call to tell me the next step. she was done just as the patient started feeling faint and started to lose feeling in the arm on the side the central venous catheter was in. long story short, she was rushed to the icu again, because what i didn’t know was that you had to close the catheter, and i’d essentially pulled off the stopper as well, and she ended up having no blood in certain parts of her brain, which i think ended up as a terminal condition for her. she lived, but she had a very, very hard time getting better again and i think she never fully recovered. so. yeah. that’s my story on how i almost killed a person.

l - love at first sight or should I walk past again?: definitely walk past again :D looks and mannerism can be very deceiving

m - middle name: inge brigitte

n - number of siblings: 2

o - one wish: to get my shit together lmao

p - person i called last: i think my dad?? about photoshop?

q - question you’re always asked: probably about my one weird tooth maybe? or what i did between school and uni

r - reason to smile: getting messages / people willingly interacting with me, horses, when life is going good, when i can be proud of myself for a reason, when there’s music making me feel good things, star trek

s - song you last sang: i don’t sing. i’d sometimes like to, but i feel too awkward cause i’ve been told that i can’t sing at all, so like...

t - time you woke up: 6:47 am the first time, then sometime around 8

u - underwear color: white

v - vacation: this probably ties in with all the “places you wanna visit” ask games, so the answer has to be most of europe, northern america, iceland, australia, parts of asia, parts of africa, space, berlin

w - worst habit: picking at my skin.... and procrastinating!

y - your favorite food: well my fave meal would be garlic bread, a medium steak with fries and beans and either lava cake or crème brûlée for dessert, along with an apple martini; but my fav normal food would be spaghetti bolognese and ... chocolate-y sweets (and truffles. oh boy i want some truffles now)

z - zodiac: libra

i’m tagging @loststarlight, @chameleon-kirk, @bottomkirk, @mccoysbi, @lieutenant-sapphic, @trappist-1p and everyone else who wants to do this!! esp all my new followers - if you wanna do this, tag me so i can get to know y’all!!

Week 5.5 of 2018 😢 / BKK DAY 1 🍗

Quick update on the past 3 days before I can get into bkk updates hehehe I’m calling this week 5.5 😂

Workload started piling up on Monday, but I expected it although I didn’t think it would get that insane.

Alexandra food village’s dry ban mian with J and Qien for dinner that day 🙃 Had a side of 10 gyozas cos jer said it was nice. Gyozas were good, just that 3 is my max hahaha Oh yes, I have to mention that the auntie making my teh ice was so precise that she was using a weighing machine to weigh every single ingredient she added into the drink 😂😂 The drink turned out nice so I guess it was worth her effort? lololol

Took a bus then train back, and while we were on the train, J suddenly said “wah so fast potong pasir already!” Literally 1sec later the train announcement came “Next station, clarke quay” LOLOLOL WE LAUGHED UNTIL 😂😂😂

Skipped chiro on tues cos I couldn’t afford to leave work half an hour earlier. Met J for dinner and dk how we decided on 4 fingers haha maybe the only fried chicken I willingly eat 👌🏻 I’ll try the spicy ones next time hehe

Quickly went home to get started on packing. I only managed clothes before I turned in for the night but it was a good call to start a day early cos Wed was SHIT 😭

Told J that I was nervous for the meeting on Wed and I was right to be nervous. It went pretty badly and the amount of work to be done after the meeting........ Couldn’t help but feel like my bkk trip came at a wrong time.

Had a quick lunch of dry ban mian at vivo (I see a pattern too lolol) before we headed back to office, where I spent the rest of the work day going through an insane number of files FML

As if I didn’t have enough on my plate already, my period decided to come a couple days early 😭😭😭 I was praying it would come after the trip. Oh well, I am at least grateful it didn’t come halfway ya? Popped a panadol before I headed back to files I CRY. MY DOG LIFE

Did what I could and left office with my boss after 11 hours of the grind. Through shit like this, I am eternally grateful for a nice boss ✨

Wanted to cry when I realised there was no food at home but I sucked it up and called my mum to takeaway some food for me. I had to wait maybe an hour but I took the opportunity to chill a little cos I could feel myself being very panicky. Mum came back with oyster omelette, which I enjoyed with KUWTK 😌

And then it was time to pack......... I didn’t leave much time for myself evidently, so I only got to bed around 1am? Holy, that’s 3 hours of packing wtf ray how????????

BKK DAY 1 🇹🇭

Tore myself out of bed at 6:15 in the morning cos I still had last minute packing to do plus this was the first time I had to call a cab to the airport myself 😅 Usually my parents fetch me there or they’re the ones calling a cab when we travel tgt haha so I was understandably a little panicky cos there were so many unknowns!!!!

Didn’t have to worry myself that much cos I got a cab easily (fare was $30 though wtfff) and reached the airport with a lot of time to spare.

Checked in and this was our first stop.... We made plans to check out the YSL outlet here, to see if the wallet I liked was cheaper since duty free and all?

WE BOUGHT IT 😍😍😍 I was 90% decided that I really wanted the wallet already so when it was $60 cheaper than retail stores, I pretty much handed my card over immediately hahahaha I am so happy ✨✨✨ J says she wants to get it for me as a christmas cum birthday gift but we’ll see!

Yakun for breakfast, where they forced us to get large cups of drinks so obv I couldn’t finish??? Oh yes, the two evian bottles were from the YSL sales assistant haha went back to return a bottle afterwards cos it was unopened.

While waiting for J ✨

我的头发很乱

Boarded! HAHA I LUV THE HOOD omg 😂😂😂 So kewt and I even managed some sleep on the plane, which is gr8 considering the flight’s only 2 hours ✈️

我爱我的鞋子👟 Asked my mum to look at my new shoes and she said “you bought new shoes again???? Ray, when you go bkk, you just eat, don’t buy clothes and shoes ok. Just eat” LOLOL I replied with “good joke mum”

Landed, settled sim card and hopped on a cab to our hotel! The ride took ages due to the jam, and J scared me cos she told me there was no meter in the cab??? She still said “hope we don’t have to fight about the fare later” 😂😂 I also quickly went to check my past dayre post and gathered that the fare should be roughly 600baht. Turns out meter was on all the while haha and the driver only charged us 500 phew no fight phew phew

We booked berkeley again cos it was a pretty good deal and we’re so familiar with the hotel/it’s location. Paid for late check out on monday as well since our flight’s only at 6pm. Spent a long time in our room waiting for my phone to charge 🙄 But I took the opp to quickly unpack everything.

Before we left the hotel!

J was starving by then so we stopped by mr shake at central world. My milk tea was pretty good but the calamansi drink she wanted wasn’t in stock so she ended up with plum green tea which wasn’t nice 😅

Continued with our walk to siam! I love how familiar we are with everything, such that we rmb how to walk everywhere without the need to google map 👌🏻👌🏻 J was asking me if I knew where inter was, and I said “ya just go to siam square, cut through the tiny stores then exit, cross the pedestrian crossing with the police and turn left” WHERE DID THIS INFO COME FROM????? IDK

First food stop: Inter! I think this is J’s and my favourite restaurant in bkk. The food is v good and inexpensive, what more can you ask for? Got the water mimosa again but asked for it to be less spicy cos my dayre reminded me that it was too spicy for us the last time we were here haha tried a new fried fish which turned out pretty good surprisingly! Erm the curry beef was a mistake on my part haha I wanted to order red curry with beef but idk why it became this dish instead 😂

Curry was great but there were a lot of fatty beef parts so overall, a no go for us 🙅🏻‍♀️

STAR OF THE SHOW ⭐️ Couldn’t go to inter without ordering our fav wings!!!!! Still as good as before omg Bill came up to less than $25 I LUV BKK

Shopped around siam square and exercised tremendous self control. Only bought myself a phone cover for $6 hehe proud proud Continued wandering around the area then stopped by watsons and bath and body works to get our bkk essentials - large packet of tissue and hand sanitizer LOLOL

📍Hokkaido Cheese Toast @ Siam Square Before we came to bkk, I was telling J that the cheese toast originated from here so we should eat the one here haha forgot all about it until we changed upon it at siam! Best things is there wasn’t a queue at all hehe and they had the strawberry & matcha flavours that I think aren’t out yet in singapore?

But we’re basic af, so we just got an original to share amongst the both of us! Smart decision to share cos it got a bit too much towards the end. Dk how much it is in singapore but it’s 69baht here!

🧀🧀🧀 Verdict: I quite liked it! The bread was nicely toasted and the cheese was really stretchy, not too heavy tasting. There was this creamy liquid filling inside which I didn’t like, and which is why I said it got too much towards the end haha might not eat this again, but glad I tried.

Got a bit thirsty while walking around and went in search of their koi outlet. Found it and was so pleasantly surprised that they had small sizes!!! How cute is this small green tea macchiato omg the lady helps to poke the straw in and she makes sure the straw goes through the O in KOI hahahaha i luv it they are so cute

Aesthetics 101 with this random cafe on the middle of the mall 🌿 There’s really nothing much in siam leh. I think I said this last year already hahaha plus the malls are quite confusing so we end up at the same place after walking for ages. Decided to head back to our hotel after a bit and J suggested we take a train from siam to chit lom, which is just a stop.

Not smart cos the train station was a bit confusing to manoeuvre around plus we hit peak hour I think. And it was only after we alighted at chit lom did we realise that our hotel’s in the middle between siam and chit lom haha so it would have been smarter to just walk from siam. Oh well, you learn new things everyday!

Was supposed to have after you but we were craving salty food so we headed to the hotel to rest before dinner at talad neon.

Took us a while to get out of the room haha talad neon’s super super near to our hotel which is great cos my poor feet 😅 J got a coconut drink and we walked around a bit. I love talad neon leh!!! But I can understand when people say there’s nothing much to do here. I just like it for its cleanliness, close proximity to our hotel and there’re still a decent number of shops 👌🏻

Took such a nice photo of J ✨✨ Dinner at hubba shrimps, essentially a cheaper version of dancing crab haha vibes were...... thai disco-ish 😂😂

Hello it’s me 😌

📍Hubba Shrimps @ Talad Neon Got the one with mixed seafood, which contained shrimps, two different kinds of mussels, squid, clams, corn and potatoes. Asked for the sauce to be less spicy but less spicy in thailand doesn’t mean much lolol the sauce was v tasty though!! But the seafood was okay only, not very fresh/tasty. Overall a decent meal for less than 500 baht

💕 Continued walking around for a bit before heading back to our hotel to walk around the night market downstairs. Got myself only 2 pieces of clothing that day 😌

Yet another wrap dress from talad neon for 250 baht. As expected, it’s too big on me but I’ll make it work by looping the waist bands around my waist to give the dress some shape. It’s a little sheer as well so will have to put on an inner lining. Otherwise, I do like the cut and prints 🌾

This mustard top from the night market below our hotel for 150baht. I hesitated a little cos bkk tops are usually too huge for me, but...

it’s a tie back so you can adjust it to be smaller! I’ve been meaning to get smth like this from taobao, like it’s literally been sitting in my cart for ages haha
