aqui te amo (here i love you).

pairing: luke pearce x f!reader

wc: 6697

synopsis: inspired by the “here i love you/aqui te amo” poem by pablo neruda mentioned in luke’s perfect partner date. i wrote it to this song “please don’t cry” by davichi from the king ost 💖 if you want to listen to it

a/n: this is shotty and full of bad writing. no i did not study literature. no i did not proofread and no i did not beta we die like luke. it’s three am i need to sleep afkjbgsfgk please reblog or comment like seriously tell me if it sucks or i’ll cry aksfbdk im joking but am i really

Here I love you.

You can’t keep your yawn in.

“Tired?” Luke asks from next to you. It’s a bit of a squeeze in the backseat of the car, with a few of his bags taking up the seat next to him, but he’s warm — and really, that’s all that matters to you right now. You nod in response to his question and tuck yourself closer to him, dropping your head onto his shoulder with another yawn that you don’t bother to hold back. “We’re almost at the airport. Didn’t you have a nap before we left?”

“It’s your fault for booking a midnight flight,” you complain, settling into a more comfortable position against him. His hand reaches up to rest on your head, mindlessly playing with the strands. You have half a mind to tell him to stop it since it’s making you even more sleepy, but it feels good, so you’ll let it pass. “Who’s even awake at such an ungodly time to fly a plane… ugh…”

“Didn’t Luke tell you?” Your mother chirps from the passenger seat, and you can see the teasing smile in the reflection of the rearview mirror. “He was trying to book the latest possible flight so that he could spend more time with you before he left for university.” She and your father share a knowing smile.

“Aunt!” Luke gasps, and you turn to blink owlishly at the boy beside you. Even though it’s dark in the back, you can very clearly see the redness on his cheeks. “I—I just…”

“Aww, that’s so sweet of you,” you coo, reaching over to pinch them. They’re hot under your fingertips, and Luke bats them away with his hands, trying to hide the embarrassed frown on his face. It’s cute. “Does this mean you’ll let me have the upper bunk in our bedroom now?”

“No, that’s still my bed.” Dodging your mischievous fingers, Luke settles back into the seat after you let out a sigh and give up, a cheeky grin still on your face. “But I guess you can sleep up there anytime you want to. I won’t be coming back home for a while, after all.”

At his words, you purse your lips and glance out of the window. The bright lights of the airport in the distance draw closer and closer with every passing minute, a little too quickly for your taste. It’s not as though you haven’t known about it for awhile now, but for some reason the feeling of impending anxiety doesn’t abate no matter how many days pass. Luke really is going overseas to study abroad for four entire years. The longest you’ve been apart from him is four days.

“We’re here,” your father announces, and you lift your head just in time for the car to come to a stop in front of the airport. “How about the two of you have a look around the airport for a bit while we find a place to park the car? It’s not much longer till Luke’s flight. We’ll bring the luggage over too.”

“Thanks, dad!” Eager to leave this glum mood behind, you hop out of the car and give yourself a little smack to the cheeks to liven yourself up. It’s only because you’re tired that you’re feeling this way. A little walk should do you some good. “Come on, Luke. I want to get some coffee!”

“You’re going to destroy your sleeping schedule if you ingest caffeine at this time of the night,” Luke says with a shake of the head as he climbs out of the car behind you. It’s unfair how energetic he still looks, although that could probably be chalked up to the late night gaming he does every so often. The bedroom the two of you share is going to be quiet starting from tonight, you think to yourself. Peaceful.

And you’re not quite sure that you’re going to like it.

SASAKI AND MIYANO IS GETTING AN ANIME. JUST ANNOUNCED IN THE NEW CHAPTER. I AM ABSOLUTELY FUCKING OVER THE MOON.

(and also spread the good word that this is just a straight-up romance between two boys, not a BL series; the great thing about SasaMyaa is that it’s just the story of two boys falling in love with each other, explicitly said to be a ‘Boys Life story with absolutely no BL included’, so that you read it as just a romance between two people falling for each other and starting a relationship without any of the tropes and baggage that come with certain genres)

i like thinking about, like, other people's views on the LIs and the MC's relationship

like, an intern at the law firm who notices that artem will take hourly coffee breaks as an excuse to go and stand by her desk and talk to her, but every time they and artem are in the kitchen together his cup is still full and he goes to dump it in the sink. he brings in food that he never seems to eat, and always smiles when she has some, the look in his eyes so soft they're surprised that she never seems to notice.

the students in vyn's classes can tell the days that the mc is auditing based on the excitement in his walk. his classes are always easy to understand, and he's a good teacher any day of the week, but there's a passion and warmth in his voice that only appears when she's in the class, and he lingers on her side of the room just that bit longer. they all agree to leave the room as quickly as possible on those days, to give them time alone to talk.

these days, marius is quick to make random changes to his schedule, for seemingly no reason. he will randomly stop chauffeurs in the middle of rides to go and look in jewellery and gift stores. he dissapears sometimes at random in the day, appearing a few hours later with a satisfied smile, looking more awake and happy than he has since taking over the company. his staff deal with all of this without complaints. he paints more frequently now, spending hours in his studio, passionate, like before. they're happy the young master has found someone like her, someone who brightens up his days. he deserves joy.

an old man comes into an antiques shop near his house that he's never noticed before. inside, a man and a woman sit at the front desk. the woman talks animatedly about something or other, her speech filled with technical language he doesnt understand. the young man doesn't once take his eyes off her, so engrossed in her prescence that he doesn't hear the ringing of his bell and the sound of the door. he looks at her like she's the only thing in the world, like her mere existence sustains him, like he's trying to engrave her into his memories. the old man smiles a little and leaves the store. his hunting for antiques can wait. he doesn't want to interrupt young love.

Luke on top of you, cupping your cheeks gently and kissing your eyelids which are pricked with tears when he confessed about his sickness.

He smiled sadly, he expected this, but it hurts him more to see you hurt because of him.

Tears of Themis: Soulmate AUs

soulmates. your other half. the one being that will complete you. the missing centerpiece that just fits in the large, thousand-piece jigsaw puzzle of your life. gn!mc

(Meter of how in danger your soulmate is.)

He treasured and obsessed over the little golden bar circling his wrist.

He knew that you were his soulmate from the moment he saw you, It didn’t matter if Fate tied him with someone else, or that he wasn’t your soulmate (disregarding that unrequited soul bonds are extraordinarily rare or not, it was a possibility), he chose you. And he would continue to choose you if he could and would make it an option, regardless.

It became a habit to check it every half an hour just to make sure you were okay. Whenever the bar even goes a little past half, he starts fretting and starts doing discreet checkups on you (it is far from discreet).

In the eight years you were apart...

Well, he checked it every minute. He practically had a little internal clock that screams at him to look at it.

Every single instance where it went up slightly, panick and absolute dread chilled his bones and left him feeling so helpless. Whenever he prays, it’s always for your safety.

After the Incident, he feels guilty, in every sense of the word, stuck between selfishly wanting to tell you the truth and spending his last moments with you, and wanting to stay as far away from you and being a vague memory of a friend, a good one. What if he really was your soulmate? He didn’t want you to have a soulmate fated to die young, you deserved better than that. You deserved so much more than that.

Your joining the NXX and the permanent increase in the little bar on his wrist has him feeling so... powerless. Because even though he wants you to stay as safe as possible, he knew that nothing could stop you from getting what you wanted, and this. This was what you wanted.

How could he refuse you?

(Red String of Fate)

The little string tied around his pinky is a lively thing. Tugging his finger at random intervals, affectionately looping around his wrist when he feels stressed, or just curiously wandering about, but never too far away from him.

His soulmate must be a very cheerful, determined person. After all, he once saw the red thread wrapping itself around his pen, futilely making an attempt to pick it up, even with the lack of success it never backed down.

(Eventually, it did managed to lift one end of the pen, defying the fact that red threads weren’t even supposed to affect anything in the psychical world. It wiggled around in absolute joy for a couple days and Artem was in a suspiciously chipper mood for that couple days.)

He didn’t have any particular expectations for the person at the end of his string, but judging from the thread’s personality, he already feels a fondness for his soulmate.

He’s sure that if he meets them, he’ll truly be stunned by their brilliance.

(Small moments where you can see what your soulmate is seeing, feeling and hearing)

It was tiny, irrelevant snapshots of his soulmate’s life, but Vyn was always an observant man and he could tell a good bit of what kind of person they were; setting aside his curiosity, he treasured the bits and pieces of their life that his soulmate has to offer.

One second, he was in his office, making an examination of himself and the next, he was furiously blinking in front of a screen and an ungodly amount of post-it notes—his soulmate groaning, before slapping themself in the cheeks encouragingly, trying to psyche themself up.

It always happened at odd times and left him slightly disoriented whenever it happened, a bustling shop, a quiet library, a terrfying mountain of paperwork, a stunning view of the cityscape and so on and so forth. The emotions always varied too; contentment, determination, happiness, anger and sorrow.

Every little piece given made him slightly more greedier than before—he wanted to know more, more about this person who is supposedly his other half, this person who will accept him unconditionally.

He wondered, not for the first time, what they would think of him. Will they really accept the very flawed person that he was?

Who would they have to be, to love a someone like him?

(Colourblind until they make eye contact with their soulmate)

It was a slight problem that he was colorblind, since he was an artist and all, but it was only a slight problem. He could always just paint in black and white.

He would never admit it out loud, but he did have slightly rosy dreams of his soulmate, romantic musings about their first meeting—would it just be a normal greeting and a handshake? Maybe they would know each other from a mutual friend. Or would it be a classic ‘running and bumping into each other accidentally’?

Every cliché became a victim to his daydreams as he went through the motions of carefully picking out clothes with the guidance of someone else’s eyes, painting this and that as he was inspired by this and that.

Then, his brother disappeared, and he was forced to take up responsibilities and put on shoes too big for him, throwing himself into work and investigation upon investigation just for a small clue on his brother.

Sometimes, in the late-late hours of the night as he signed and wrote paperwork, he wondered what his soulmate would do to help him.

Would they try to shoulder some of the burden, too? Or would they bring snacks and the like? Would they look at his painstaking efforts to prove the media wrong and offer encouragement and reassurances that he was doing a good job?

The first time he met your eyes was also the first time he truly knew what beauty was.

childhood friends to lovers with marius von hagen.

character: marius von hagen

wc: 1115

synopsis: childhood friends to lovers with marius requested by the anonymous @veonhagen​!!

a/n: because i want to do the fic justice (or as much justice as i can do with my subpar writing skills), i’m gonna post the headcanons first so y’all don’t get disappointed when the actual thing comes out LOL

you know the relationship that luke has with rosa? the gentle, tender sort of friendship that reminds you of a refreshing summer breeze, that melts like cotton candy on your tongue and reminds you about all that is sweet and good in this world?

yeah your relationship with marius von hagen is not that

“aww, you’re here to visit a small-time criminal like me?” marius asks the moment you walk into the police station he’s being detained in. “i’m feeling so touched i could cry.” you give him a look and roll your eyes.

“no, i’m here to laugh at you.”

people find it difficult to believe sometimes, that the two of you have known each other nearly all your lives

from what others can see, marius seems to enjoy teasing you and getting on your nerves, while you either ignore him or shoot barbed words at him without holding back in the least

only those who look carefully can see the way marius’ eyes light up every time you walk into the room, or the genuine fondness in your smile when he attempts to get a rise out of you

between the two of you, marius was actually the shy one as a kid - quiet, timid and extremely nervous around new people - although if you bring that up now, he’ll loudly claim that he remembers nothing of the sort

he was bullied as a child, so you were his only friend when the two of you were young
