Chiiiiiille, it is NEVER too soon to request more mermaid!reader au 😩😩😩👌🏻 lmao ik how you feel, but it's all good! We're here for some silly, good old fun right? 😂
---
George
Today is the first day of summer break, and George couldn't possibly be more estatic
Of course it's nice to be off from school, but now he can see you just about whenever he wants
Things were working out alright before, scheduling times to meet and all, but unfortunately it didn't last as long as you both would've liked given his busy schedule
But now, no more!
George is up bright and early and the first thing he does is head off to your lake
He chains it up by the communal dock, then heads off into the forest, away from prying eyes
The two of you had to find a new location to meet, especially as the warmer weather came along, and luckily it's not too far off
George sprints out of the treeline and hops down to the sandy bank
He cups his mouth and calls your name, only growing more excited when he sees you breach the water only a few minutes later
"George? What are you doing here!", you swim towards shore and he sheds his shoes and shit to meet you halfway
He wades out till he's chest deep, "First day of summer break!", he gives you a quick kiss
From the confused look ok your face, he can see that he needs to explain, but once you understand, your while face lights up in excitement
"So... How often will you come down?"
"As often as we want!", he brushes a strand on hair out of your face, "Every day if I could"
George smiles softly, and you give a little squeal, swimming forward to wrap him in a hug
Your scales are scratching his legs a bit, but he doesn't mind
Instead he holds onto you and carries you deeper into the lake
You spend the next hour or so swimming about and exploring the water, sometimes even diving to the lake floor to see what you can find
Today's treasure consist of plastic straw, swimming goggles, a paper clip, and a disintegrating receipt
Nothing unusual there
George always wishes he could find something pretty to give to you, but you tell him you're happy for the help to clean your lake a touch
When you're both worn out from all the frolicking, you take a break on the sand and bathe in the sun
George holds your hand in his while you chat and dry off together
And after a bit of that, he floats the idea of grabbing a treat
He promises he'll be right back, and true to his word he returns after a long break with two ice cream cones
George hands you your favorite flavor, and you gasp in excitement
You love ice cream. Everyday you wish you had this underwater
He kisses you cheek, "just think, we can do this all summer long!"
"Can we?", you ask with suspended excitement
George nudges the tip of your nose with his and kisses your forehead, "Nothing would make me happier"
John
With the start of summer break, John finally has a proper excuse for being out and about so much
Especially to explain away the sand and smell of salt water he keeps bringing home...
Good thing too, Mimi was getting quite suspicious
"Mimi, I'm going out!"
"Wha- Again? Have you done your chores!"
John is already halfway out the door, "Yes, goodbye, love you!"
He slams it shut behind him and races off
He'll accept his lecture later, right now he needs to see you
By the time he gets to your cove, he's completely out of breath as he calls your name
All the commotion rouses you from sleep
Regardless, John seems to be full of energy, with no consideration for that fact that you've just awoken
You, understandably confused, ask what he's going here
John jabbers on with an explanation, looking as though he'll explode from the excitement if he doesn't get it out fast enough
And over the course of his drawn out explanation, suddenly you find yourself feeling just as awake and excited
"Well... We should do something to celebrate!", you suggest
John agrees with you, but faulters when it comes to making a suggestion
You both think hard, but nothing comes to mind
Until, you come up with a different idea, "You know, we don't have to go or do anything... Why don't we just relax? It's been a while you know"
John smiles softly at that and takes a seat beside you on your pile of treasure
"I know.... I'm sorry, I've just been so busy"
You kiss his cheek and tell him he doesn't need to apologise
John grins at your touch, and kisses you back before pulling you onto him and laying down
You give a little squeak as you land safely on top of his chest
He smirks at you and strokes the small of your back, "Hello there"
You roll your eyes, and take his face in your hands before planting a proper kiss to his lips
The heart shaped locket he gave you clinks and glitters against the zipper of his leather jacket before catching his eye
"You still have it?"
"Of course I do...", you fix him with a look and laugh, a touch confused. "It's the most precious thing I own"
You kiss him and lay your head down on his shoulder, nuzzling into the nape of his neck
John's heart pounds inside his chest
He likes the idea of being precious to someone
You run your thumb along his jawline, "Whatcha thinking about?"
John turns his head as far as he can without disturbing you and looks into the gorgeous infinity of your eyes
"I love you..."
Paul
The sun beams overhead as he waits on the forested shore for you to appear
This is his third day in a row seeing you since summer began
Third time! Imagine that...
He's brought you a surprise today, and he can't wait to get your reaction
Soon enough you break through to the surface and crawl up to land
"Sorry, I got a bit side tracked, and I- Oh! You brought your bass?"
"That's right! I wanted to show you this silly little love song I wrote... Made me think of you..."
Paul gives you a kiss, then pulls out the lucky scale you gave him from what feels like so long ago now
He counts himself off before strumming a pleasent bass line which slowly evolves as he adds his voice
You weren't expecting to be seranaded first thing on land this morning, but you can hardly complain
The song is beautiful and you can't help but enjoy the slight nautical vibe it has to it
"Oh, Paul... That was wonderful! Have you played it at a show yet?"
Paul looks pleased with himself as he responds, "This? Oh, no, this isn't for the public, just for you"
He takes your chin gently and tilts your head to look at him as he winks at you
You brush his hand away and laugh cheerfully, "You smooth talker..."
Paul puts aside the instrument and slides closer to you
He doesn't say anything more, instead he invites you to a few kisses as he holds your jaw in his callused hand
You stay like that for a few minutes, until finally you break apart
Paul huffs softly and catches his breath, his eyes still closed as he commits the moment to memory
"Say...", you slide your hand over to his and intertwine your fingers
"Hm...?"
"...think you could play it one more time?"
Paul lights up from the insight out, absolutely aglow with pride
And to think, John told him the song was silly...
"Course I can love"
Ringo
You know, at first he felt rather silly...
Pulling up to the abandoned dock with his brightly colored life jacket like he does
But having the freedom to jump into the water with you and not have to worry about going under always wins out
Ringo runs down the sandy bank calling your name and shedding his shirts and shoes as he goes
You're already waiting for him on a rocky outcrop as he approaches
You whip around at the sound of you name, tail swishing excitedly as he runs to meet you
Ringo drops his life jacket on a rock and climbs up to give you a kiss
When you pulls away, you give his beard a playful tug and then a little scratch as he leans into your touch
"Hello to you too, gorgeous", he nuzzles your cheek
You smile and hum happily
"Ready for the water?", you nod towards his floaty jacket
"Yeah... Don't want a repeat of last weekend, eh?"
The weekend in question consisted of a near brush with death
He'd decided to leave his jacket behind and try swimming in the choppy waves himself
Of course he can swim just fine, but he's still quite weak from being sick all the time, so...
Well, he got tired much faster then he thought and before he knew it, the ocean was swallowing him
Luckily you noticed his absence almost immediately and swooped in to save him
Again
After that scare, you made him promise to always bring his jacket from then on
And, true to his word, here it is
"Oh, don't even joke about it!", you hug him tightly before letting him get it on
He hates to make you worried, but he does love that you care...
Ringo smiles to himself as he gets on his jacket over his skinny chest
"There, now come on!", he slides off the rock and into the waves with you following close bey
With a gentle plop, he bobs right back up to the surface
He kicks and swims over to you, holding on lightly
A wave comes and lifts you both up on a small ride
You laugh, enjoying the simple fun together
You glance over at Ringo with a loving gaze, as you think to yourself how much you adore your little human
Ringo's silly laughter plays back in your mind, from all the countless times you've committed it to memory
He's quiet now as you wait on the next wave, "Hey, is something the matter?"
You clear your thoughts and hold him tightly one more time, smiling against his chest, "Not when I'm with you"

Foolish
Summary: Being the new kid is hard right? Try moving across the world to attend the elite hero course at U.A. Unfortunately following the path of straight and narrow is difficult when you find a blonde ball of death throwing twists in it. Nobody said it was easy. New experiences, new friends, new interests...what could go wrong?
Chapter 3: Happy Tears
Content Warnings: adult language, cringy situations, eventual smut
WC: 2.5K
You all made your way to the kitchen and everyone began to make their plates. “Y/N get us some water and I’ll get the food!” Mina said sweetly before pointing you in the direction of the cups.
“Oh it’s alright Mina I can serve myself.” You said reaching for a plate.
“Y/N come on, what’s the Japanese food have you eaten before?” She said and swatted your hand away.
You looked down at your feet and responded quietly, “Sushi and Ramen.”
“Trust me. I’ll hook you up.” Mina laughed and ushered you off. You shrugged and grabbed your drinks before making your way to the long table to sit next to Yaoyorozu.
“So what is this meal that’s already making my mouth water?” You questioned staring at her plate.
“This is Yakisoba. It’s a summer time dish. It’s basically fried noodles, cabbage, vegetables, and pork all mixed up in a barbecue sauce. Iida, Koda, and Shoji prepared this together.” She said thumbing to the three chefs in the kitchen admiring their work. “Sato made a big cake for dessert to celebrate too!”
Mina returned and slid the plate in front of you. You all waited until everyone sat down before digging in. Iida began to clear his throat as he stood at the end of the table.
“Classmates! We usually don’t eat together like this due to conflicting schedules, but tonight is special. We welcome our new classmate Y/N to U.A!” There were cheers and bangs on the table, making you blush. “As outstanding students of this fine institution it is our job to make her feel as comfortable as possible with open arms! We begin classes again next week after our short break” There were some groans, he shot the objectors a look and adjusted his glasses before continuing. “Let’s not forget why we’re all here. To train to be the greatest heros of our generation! Make sure you’re caught up on all your reading and homework as we approach Monday!”
“Iida we love you dude, but can you wrap this up? We’re starving!” Kaminari snickered and elbowed Sero.
“Yes well...dig in!” Iida finished and sat back down. You carefully picked up your first bite with the chopsticks and placed it in your mouth. The explosion of flavors erupted in your mouth as you moaned slightly.
Uraraka raised her eyebrow at you and asked, “That good huh?”
You nodded quickly and wiped your mouth. “The chopsticks I’m sorta nervous about, but I swear I don’t think I want to eat American Japanese food ever again.”
Your side of the table laughed. “Yeah they don’t have shit on us.” Sero said popping his t-shirt, earning a laugh. The rest of dinner went by quickly. Before you knew it you were full and probably needed to be helped up from your seat.
“Oh god, I think I’m going to have to work out twice as hard tomorrow.” You groaned and put your hand on your forehead. Mina patted your back and agreed.
Afterwards all the girls migrated to the kitchen to clean up since the boys cooked.
You washed, Jiro rinsed, Tsu dried, Mina and Mimi packed up left overs, while Uraraka and Hakegure wiped down. There was a lot of dishes to wash, but you knocked them out fast since you were all chatting.
Come to find out you and Jiro had a lot of common music interests. “Finally someone has taste around here.” She commented.
“Hey! I’m sorry we all don’t appreciate rock, but she was literally singing Ariana Grande in the bathroom earlier!” Mina pouted pointing a spatula at you.
You put your hands up in defense. “What can I say? I’m a music fanatic. Rock and Rap are for working out, Pop is for good vibes and Alternative is for relaxing.”
“Good vibes?” Tsu pondered out loud.
“Sorry, I forgot figures of speech were a little different here. Good vibrations. Meaning you’re feeling at peace, happy, relaxed. You can also feel bad vibes which are the opposite.” You explained.
“Oh ok, so Bakugo gives off bad vibes?” Tsu asked putting two and two together. You all cackled.
“Yeah something like that.”
“I think he’s just got a wire loose somewhere up there.” Momo replied and pointed to her head.
“No that’s definitely Denki. That’s why he shorts out all the time.” Jiro shot back and threw her thumbs up in the air and started to look off into space. That made the girls laugh harder. You looked confused.
“Oh trust me you’ll see. It’s hilarious.” Hakegure said patting your head.
“I don’t think you should be talking about your man like that Jiro because we all know he makes that face infront of you than anyone else.” Mina retorted and smirked. Urarka slapped a hand over her mouth to cover her laughter as Jiro turned pink.
“Oh yeah? At least I don’t sneak pictures of Sero shirtless Mina.” She short back.
“It was one time!” Mina cried out. By this time everyone was breathless from laughing hard.
“Damn Mina! Seriously?” You howled and almost fell over.
“Atleast Bakugo didn’t touch my panties!” Mina said and then quickly shut her mouth. “Oh shit, I’m sorry” she choked out before all the girls turned to you and screamed out.
“WHAT?”
“Mina!” You hissed. You were flooded by questions as you had to retell the story you told Mina in confidence.
“I would literally die. Like you would have to bury me in the courtyard, Y/N. How are you still standing?” Momo grabbed her chest.
“Well...I guess it gave him something to remember me for?” You tried to make light of the incident.
“Oh don’t feel bad Y/N! Izuku has unfortunately seen mine too.” Uraraka said, attempting to make you feel better.
“Oh don’t act like he doesn’t sneak out of your room in the middle of the night Ochaco.” Mina said poking at her.
“Hey!” She cried out.
“Oh don’t act like it’s a secret the next day we ask him about his night and he turns as red as this plate.” Jiro retorted holding up the plate she finished rinsing.
You snorted and shook your head. “Wait, wait, wait. Who’s with who?”
“Well since you asked, Kaminari and Jiro are an item. Uraraka and Deku have this secret love affair brewing” Tsu said adding quotations around ‘secret’. “Momo is in love with the oblivious Todoroki.” She earned a glare from Yaoyorozu. “What? I call it like I see it. Hakegure and Oijiro are happily in love and Mina...well Mina just wants to get laid.”
Mina splashed Tsu slightly before smiling to herself. You kinda felt a little bad for sitting with Todoroki since you didn’t know, but Yaoyorozu seemed to be fine. “Well Ladies, I think kitchen duty is finally over." Uraraka said tying up the trash.
"Cool, I think i'm going to head up. I've got to call my parents." You said wiping off your hands. There was a chorus of good nights as you made your way to the elevator.
Once the doors closed you leaned against the wall and closed your eyes. You had a wonderful night. All the stress about not being accepted were completely squashed. This felt slightly like home. Once on your floor you opened your door and sat down in the desk chair.
Pulling out your phone you began to face time your mother . She answered on the first ring. Her smiling face came to view as she called for your father.
“Hey there’s our sweet girl! I’m glad you made it there safely!” His voice boomed through the speaker. You had a large grin planted on your face.
“I definitely did! No problems what so ever. Mr. Aizawa actually picked me up.” You explained rubbing the your head sheepishly.
“As he should. My baby girl shouldn’t be all alone in a foreign country! You know I could have easily flew with you there right?” Your father said.
“I know Dad, as much as a appreciate you, I have to learn how to be independent sometime.”
“Well, we know that sweetie. We’re just missing you so much, this is the first time you’ve been away without us protecting you.” Your mother started and began to choke up.
‘Oh boy, if she starts to tear up I’ll definitely start to cry’
“Momma please don’t cry. I’m fine. See I’m right here. I’ve got this cool dorm room, everyone is really nice here, and they’ve got a killer gym. I’m fine.” You said as your voice cracked.
“Oh our baby isn’t a baby anymore, Brandon.” She said looking up at your father. He gently kissed the top of her head.
Oh that was it. That threw you over the edge. You began tearing up. “We’re going to miss you so much sweetheart. These aren’t sad tears. This are happy tears. We’re so proud of you and all you’re becoming.” Your mother said leaning into your father. You got a lot of your fathers traits, but the cry baby trait you got from your mother.
There was a small rasp on your door as you turned to look at who the visitor was. Kirishma stood in your doorway with a sad smile. “Hey guys, I’ve gotta go. I’ve got some help with my room. I love you both I’ll call you tomorrow I swear.”
“We love you too, Y/N. Stay safe.” The face time hung up. You swiftly used your sleeve to wipe your eyes.
“Hey, come in.” You said and waved him in. He walked in quietly and shut the door.
“Are you going to be alright?” Kirishma asked putting a hand on your shoulder. That simple act of kindness sent you right back over the edge. Tears silently fell as you looked at your feet. He crouched down so you were eye level. “You know it’s been almost 2 years since we moved into the dorms and I still get home sick...” he trailed off. “I know this is a lot different than my situation though, but it’s okay to cry.”
You nodded slightly and continued to cry. He hesitated before figuring out what to do. “I hope I’m not crossing any boundaries, but is it alright if I hug you?” (we fucking love a man who asks for consent)
“I would actually really appreciate that, Kirishima.” You replied, then wrapped his arms around you. Deeply inhaling his scent, you rested your head on his shoulder. He squeezed you slightly and rubbed your back. He was an expert at comfort or you really needed a hug. Either way you basked in his warmth and your tears subsided. You both sat together, enjoying each other and the silence for a few more minutes before you pulled away.
“Feel better?” Kirishima asked searching your eyes for any more tears.
“Oh yeah, much better. Sometimes it feels good to let it out.”
“Trust me I know. I cry sometimes too. It happens and it’s manly to admit it.” He chuckled and stood up.
“Bullshit. You seriously cry?” You pondered, faking being shocked.
“It hurts me to think I wouldn’t. I’m sensitive and I think I just might now.” He said and began to sniffle. If all your stuff wasn’t boxed up you’d throw something at him. “Ready to get this party started?” Kirishima asked and rubbed his hands together.
“Yes, but first I have to take these contacts out because I feel like my eye is about to fall out.” You walked over to one of your suit cases pulling your glasses and contact cases out.
“Holy crap your a glasses nerd? Color me impressed.” His jaw dropped. You flipped him off and walked to the door.
You were about to walk out, but you turned around and called to him, “Hey, Kirishima.” He looked up. “You tell anyone this happened and I will end you.” You held up your glowing hand.
“Look, I literally just walked in and you said you were leaving to take your contacts out!” He threw his hands up in defense. You shut your door and padded to the bathroom. Once your contacts were removed you splashed some cold water on your face. You dried off and slid your glasses on.
“Holy shit, Iida shouldn’t you be using your own bathroom?” Bakugo said walking out of the shower with a towel his bare shoulders.
“Oh ha ha. You’re hilarious.” You said flinging water at him.
“Oh relax cherry it was a joke.” He said shaking his hair off in your direction.
“Ugh. Seriously. I smell like wet dog now.” You short back. You felt your cheeks heat at your newfound nickname.
“Pretty sure you smelled ten times worse when you crashed into me earlier.” He retorted and put the towel on his head to dry his hair. Since his eyes were closed you took the opportunity to look at him. His body was magnificent. Broad shoulders led into strong arms, his perfect pecs led to his toned stomach, a happy trail led straight into his shorts which hung deliciously off his hips. His v-line was like an arrow pointing straight to his-
“Oi, take a fucking picture it might last you a little longer.” Bakugo broke through your thoughts. You broke your gaze and stared at the counter top racking your brain for a witty response.
“Does that mean you’ll pose? I only take tasteful nudes .”
“Oh you take nudes? I didn’t peg you to be scandalous.”
“N-not me!” You squeaked.
“What a shame, I’d keep one tucked away close to my heart.”
“What heart?”
“The cold, black one that doesn’t mind seeing your thong, Cherry. ” Bakugo ended the battle by walking out the door.
Your heart banged against your chest. You were going to need more water after that.
Finally getting yourself together you went back into your room discovering Kirishima almost finished with the book shelf.
“Hey, good job! It looks great” You high fived him.
“You think? Who needs a hammer when you have me?” Kirishima said slamming the nails in place with his palm.
“Wow, my hero.” You could see a blush creep up his face.
You both worked quickly and diligently making your bed, filling up the book shelf, and organizing your desk. Pretty soon all there was left to do was put on the finishing touches.
“I think we make a good team, Kiri.” You said looking around at your work.
“I’d say so too. I’m gonna get going now it’s pretty late.” You nodded and walked him to the hallway
“Thanks again. For all of it. I’m glad I made a great friend today.” You said giving him a side hug.
“No problem. I’ll talk to tomorrow. Maybe we can work out or something.” Kirishima grinned and turned to walk away.
“Deal.” You called to him and watched him walk around the corner as you made your way to your room.
“KIRISHIMA?” Mina whisper yelled as her head popped out from her door way.
“Goodnight Mina!” You waved her off and shut your door. You quickly changed into a tank top and sweat pants and slid into bed. You fell asleep with a smile on your face.

date preparations
fandom: avatar: the last airbender
rating: g
ship: michi (oc) & jin
summary: michi helps jin get ready for her date with zuko
note: i can’t help myself. i love writing these two
Tumblr media
Jin wrung her hands together, pulling her lower lip into her mouth. “So? ...What do you think?”
I think you look like you were trapped in a bad with a cat-owl!
But Michi couldn’t say that, not on such an important night, not when nerves radiated off Jin like the lapping wake on Lake Logai. Still, she couldn’t let Jin walk out with her hair like...like that. Forget the cat owl, she looked as if she’d been on the receiving end of a spark rock jab and it escaped through her head! So she shifted her face from reflecting shocked to a wincing distaste. Curling her lip, she lifted her hand and shook it from side to side.
Jin’s shoulders dropped with her heaving sigh. “I thought so. My mom thought I looked nice.”
Yes, well, her mother wouldn’t style know from a bar of soap but that was neither here nor there.
Clicking her tongue, Michi carefully set aside the scroll of parchment she’d been drawing on and rubbed her charcoal stained hands together, surveying the mass of hair...somehow still attached to Jin’s head.
Coils and curls stuck out one way, gravity-defying strands stuck this way and that. She really did a number on herself. Michi briefly wondered if she’d let her siblings help her; little Jiang had Jin wrapped around her finger. And then Ju-Long wouldn’t want to be left out even if styling hair was decidedly a girly thing to do.
“Do you think Lee would like it?”
Eyes widening, Michi pressed her lips together into a line and clasped her hands together. Rolling her eyes, Jin chuckled. “Alright, alright, I get it. Can you help me? Please?” When Michi lifted her hand and made a snipping motion, Jin’s smile immediately dropped and she shook her head. “You’re not funny, Mimi”
Grinning, Michi pointed to a seat nearby and went into the kitchen to find the tub. Her father gave it the most use, soaking his aching feet after being up and about all day. Speaking of which, Michi glanced at the sun dial that sat on the window sill nearby. Her mouth twisted to the side. Her father should’ve been home about an hour ago. She reached forward and pumped the handle on the pipe until water started to flow out. With a flick of her wrist, she bended out the dirt and sediment that dropped to the bottom of the tub and shot it out the window. Her held breath eased a few seconds later when the Dai Li didn’t come bursting through her door.
“I’m going to take him to that restaurant in the middle ring,” Jin said when Michi shuffled back into the living room, fifteen short steps from the attached kitchen. She set the tub down on the small table beside the couch that Jin lay on, her laced fingers resting on her stomach. “I haven’t been there in a while. I saved up for it, you know. I want everything to be perfect.”
Michi hummed as she removed the ribbon holding Jin’s hair up. She set it aside and gathered up her hair, her fingers sliding through whatever grease it was that she had applied and set it in the water. Immediately a film rose to the surface. Picking up a nearby comb, Michi began to carefully separate her hair. It wasn’t a royal combing fit for a princess but Jin may as well be one on this special night.
“I still can’t believe he said yes! Well, it was his uncle, but still! I went though so much tea...”
Michi’s lips curled upwards. Yes, looking back on it now, tackling every flavor and type of tea Pao’s offered just to put Jin within the vicinity of Lee was...an idea. But that was Jin; once her mind was on something it would take a herd of elephant mandrills to sway her course. And a few silver pieces to foot the bill. She did have to hand it to him, though, he and his uncle did know how to make a mean cup of tea.
Initially she continued to return for Jin’s sake, to watch and observe and wait to be needed. That focus shifted, however, the minute she picked up on Lee’s vibrations. It was a slow, almost undetectable, but Michi caught it. More like a steady pulse, a practiced heartbeat than an unleashed natural energy. A little too rhythmic. But it was a deep, aching pulse, one she felt in her bones.
And so she sat and sipped and watched and waited. For what, she wasn’t sure, but there was just something about him. And not in the golden way that Jin found him, like he was bathed in their kingdom’s infamous sunsets.
“Better?” Jin’s voice yanked Michi out of her thoughts. Blinking, she shook her head and dropped her hands from the ponytail she’d put into Jin’s hair. Holding up a finger, she signaled for Jin to wait as she went to retrieve a gold and green painted wooden box tucked into a corner, resting on the floor right beneath a hanging painting of a dark haired woman with kind, gray eyes. Pausing for a moment to straighten the image of her mother, she picked up the box and carefully opened it.
A row of small jars holding different colored powers stared back at her. She walked her fingers against the tops until she found a soft red she was looking for. Removing it, she set the box back and hurried back to Jin who still kneeled on the floor, a position she took on and held still since her hair was dried.
Removing the cap, Michi tapped the pad of her finger against the loose powder and carefully spread it across Jin’s cheekbones, applying a thin but natural-looking layer. Leaning back, Michi surveyed her, and then beamed, flashing a thumbs-up.
“Great!” Flinging herself forward, Jin wrapped her arms around Michi’s neck and gave her a squeeze. “Thank you so much, Mimi, I owe you one!” she said and placed a kiss on her cheek.
Cupping Jin’s cheeks, Michi lifted her face until they were eye to eye and mouthed, “Have fun!”
Jin dashed away as the last rays of sunshine dipped beyond the horizon and a blanket of darkness began to settle in. Michi frowned, sighed, and brushed her hands against the legs of her pants. Picking up her abandoned drawing, she ripped a corner off the parchment and scribbled a note, leaving it in a place she knew her father would see it whenever he returned.
Then he counted to twenty, slid open the front door, and closed it behind her. Out on the small porch she slipped her feet into her shoes and spotted Jin’s quickly growing smaller up ahead.
Michi set her jaw. Good. That was enough distance between them. Footsteps light and careful, she blended into the shadows as she retraced her friend’s steps, keeping an eye on her. Like always.

Birthday Shenanigans
FF.net link: here
Characters: Ishida Yamato and Takenouchi Sora 
Pairing: Sorato
Words: 1300+
Notes: I’m certain about Yamato having tried to tell his feelings for Sora even before she actually did on Christmas Eve. This is one of them.
HAPPY SORATO DAY!
Enjoy!
“You don’t have to repeat how important my fifteenth birthday is, I already heard you the first fifty times.” Yamato was clearly annoyed, Taichi didn’t seem to care.
“Then why haven’t you told me what you want to do to celebrate?” Taichi had been running after Yamato for at least two weeks. He knew the blonde one didn’t really enjoy birthdays per se, at least not like he did. Or Mimi did. Or Hikari did. Heck, even Koushiro did! But Yamato never cared about his birthday.
“Maybe I already have a something else planned-“ he regretted saying that as soon as he saw his friend’s face.
“What could be more important than spending it with your best friends Yamato?!”
What Taichi didn’t understand, what he didn’t know, was that he had already planned something special with one of his friends. She didn’t know this, of course, because he hadn’t found the words to ask Sora out on his birthday, but the plan had worked out perfectly fine inside his head. They would go to Tokyo Disney Sea, since his mom had tickets somehow, and he knew Sora would enjoy spending the whole day there.
He had never been to Disney Sea, but he knew they had all kinds of different popcorns and Sora loved popcorn, so it was perfect. They would also enjoy the firework show late at night and he would finally find the words to tell her how much he liked her. Like, liked her. Perhaps they would hold hands, or perhaps she would never be able to speak to him the same way as they always did, because maybe she only saw him as a friend.
And the chest pain came back, it was always there somehow. That’s why Yamato had decided that he could no longer hold his feelings inside of him, it was too painful. And it was becoming awkward, he couldn’t be in the same room with Sora without acting weird, and he didn’t want to ruin their friendship… their friendship was the most valuable thing in the world to him. But he had to try, he just had to.
“Nothing, you’re right,” he finally answered, Taichi softening his gaze. “I will let you know what I want to do, I promise.”
“Your birthday is in two days,” dramatism in his voice. Everyone thought Mimi was the most dramatic of the gang, but they hadn’t met dramatic Taichi.
“Hey guys! Why so serious?” Redhead and long legs broke into the conversation, making Yamato immediately blush. Sora shouldn’t be wearing those short skirts when it was mid-November and it was getting chilly. She shouldn’t just appear in front of his face when he wasn’t able to control himself no more. She shouldn’t be so… Sora.
“NOTHING, SEE YOU GUYS LATER!” And he just… ran. To his mother’s place to be precise, which wasn’t quite close from his school. Sora was probably thinking he was a freak, and she was probably right.
He arrived, fast pacing and sweating at his mother’s place, where Takeru was weirdly absent. Maybe weirdly was an exaggeration, he was never home, except on Thursdays, and it happened to be a Thursday that fine day-- where he already wanted to move to Australia. Yet Takeru wasn’t there.
“Natsuko?” He asked around the apartment, if she wasn’t there then he was lost. He would have to look for the Disney tickets all over it and he wasn’t in the mood to turn his mother’s apartment inside out.
“Yamato? What a surprise! You’re staying for dinner?” His mom was obviously getting ready to get out, so he wasn’t understanding the invitation. He still couldn’t, he had rehearsals with his band. They had this huge Christmas gig booked and had been rehearsing like crazy, it was their biggest concert yet and they couldn’t let anything ruin it.
“Sorry but I can’t stay for dinner tonight,” he suddenly remembered what he was there for. “Actually, I came all the way here to ask if I could take those Disney tickets they gave you? Wanted to use them on my birthday…”
Natsuko’s face could’ve just seen a ghost, she covered her face and everything. Yamato knew right there the tickets were gone.
“Takeru asked me for those tickets yesterday, he’s actually there right now.”
“What do you mean ‘there right now’, it’s a Thursday.”
“He said there was a teacher’s meeting or something and classes had been cancelled, so he took Hikari.”
“Natsuko,” Yamato was frustrated, he pinched the tip of his nose. “They didn’t cancel classes, but I bet he’s having fun trying all the popcorn flavors,” he whispered, more to himself than for his mom.
“Yamato, I’m so sorry.” Natsuko didn’t understand the popcorn reference, but she sure was sorry. She wished she could gift more tickets to Yamato but they were crazy expensive and she wasn’t going through the best economic phase at the moment. Maybe she could gift him some popcorn, since he was so invested in that.
“It’s ok, don’t worry.” His mom seemed so worried, it just felt worthless to claim her about anything else. Takeru on the other hand… he would pay.
“You still need to come have dinner, and maybe some cake next week,” she said, soft smile on her face. “You don’t turn fifteen every day.”
“Sure thing,” he tried to sound happy, even excited, but he was just disappointed. He had only one plan, that was his only plan to come clean to Sora and maybe, if he was lucky enough, start dating his best friend. He could notice how other boys started looking at her, every day that passed by she was more beautiful and his heart felt like a ticking bomb. If he didn’t tell her his feelings anytime soon, it would explode.
His phone started ringing, and he almost fainted when he saw Sora’s name on the screen. He considered dropping it on the nearest trashcan, but he didn’t. He was too poor to afford a new one.
“Yes?”
“Yamato! I’m so glad you answered, I thought you were mad at me.” He imagined her biting her lower lip. She tended to do that when she was nervous, by her voice, it was obvious she was nervous. But why would she be nervous, anyway?
“Of course, I’m not, why would I be?”
“You ran away as soon as I appeared, I even thought it was my smell or something…” she laughed. He laughed. It was all good.
“You always smell good.” Awkward silence, hearts pumping. “I just had to see Natsuko, nothing crazy.”
“So, you finally know what you want to do for your birthday? I know it’s not your favorite thing to celebrate, but Taichi told me…” Of course, Taichi had told her, Taichi always spoke.
“Yes, something quiet. Just a picnic.” Just the two of us.
“That sounds great! Same place as always?” There was a park where they always met, that had the most amazing view to the Daikanransha*.
“You know it.” Silence, again. Just, this time it wasn’t awkward. It was nice. “Around 5pm?”
“I don’t know, Yamato. It’s your birthday,” her laughter was his favorite sound, he had just decided that. He was never going to change his mind.
“5pm it is!”
Yamato had quietly hoped Sora wouldn’t tell anyone about the picnic, and it would only be the two of them celebrating his birthday, but of course, when he showed up at the park, the whole gang was there, his friends from the band, even! Yamato made Takeru buy four bags of popcorn at Disney Sea, which must’ve cost a fortune, but he owed him, and Sora adored popcorn, it was worth it.
He might have failed in his poor attempt to reveal his feelings to Sora that day, but he promised himself he wouldn’t fail next time.
Even if he had to fight a bunch of Digimon while trying, he wouldn’t fail.
