방 찬 (Bang Chan)

Makes a playlist

Loves you and also wants to keep your relationship private anyway

But also adores you and wants to show you off

He thought it would be fun to mess with Stay too

So he just started playing music that spelled out your name with the titles during his lives

He didn't do it all in one day because he was scared that someone would figure it out immediately

So he spread it across several lives

After he was done spelling out your name, he would just play your favorite songs

Or songs that would remind him of you

Or a song that you two heard while you were together and formed a core memory to

Would be blushing smiling like a dumbass while the songs are playing, remembering you and all the happy memories

Makes a playlist with those songs and shared the link on his bubble

He adds songs to it periodically so fans don't read too much into the order and see your name

이 민 호 (Lee Min-Ho)

A special hand sign

He's not the type who is big on matching couple items

And you were okay with that, he wasn't supposed to talk about your relationship anyway

But he was so in love with you, he wanted to tell the world

So he came up with a hand sign that he could do during performances and vlogs

Spent a lot of time researching sign language to make sure he wasn't going to do anything offensive or stupid

It also needed to be small and not complex so he could sneak it into dances

The first time he did it in a performance, he sat down with you and watched your reaction to the video

"Why did you do that? Did you forget the move and freestyle?"

You had sat through enough rehearsals and watched enough of their performances to know the choreography, especially Minho's parts, to know that he was not supposed to do that

"No, I did that on purpose." "Why?" "For you." "What?"

He let you sit confused for the rest of the video before finally explaining

The hand sign is meant to let you know that he loves you

And misses you

And is thinking about you

He did it every chance he got

It got to the point where Stay noticed and just thought it was a Lee Know Quirk™️

Naturally, they adopted it

You thought he would be annoyed that Stay was doing it too

"They're just helping spread and amplify my love for you."

서 창 빈 (Seo Chang-Bin)

Wears a necklace with your name

Genuinely does not care about having to keep it a secret

Wants to shout it from the rooftop

And has

The only reason he keeps quiet is because you don't feel comfortable being in the spotlight

But he will wear a necklace with your name on it

Like a dog collar

It literally says "If lost, return to Y/N"

Smug bastard

Refuses to take it off

Won't even tuck it inside his shirt

Will even purposely show it with your name facing out in pictures

It has to be edited in every picture

It's either edited to read "If lost, return to Stay," made to look blank, or edited out completely

Stay thinks that the return to Stay is the original so they made their own versions of it

"If lost, return to *insert select skz member*" or "If lost, return to Stray Kids"

Fans don't try to read the necklace anymore, they just think it's the Stay one

It's also a tiny locket

Which you only found out about 3 months into him owning the necklace

Naturally, there is a little picture of you in it

황 현 진 (Hwang Hyun-Jin)

Couple rings

He wears a lot of rings anyway, so nobody would think about the one that you two share being a couple ring

It was the one ring he never swapped out so Stay just thought it was his favorite

They aren’t wrong

That thing is always on his person at all times

If it doesn’t match an outfit for a photoshoot or a performance he’ll either wear it as a necklace or in his shoe

One time he tried to be creative and tied it to his hair so you could see it when they did a close up for a performance

Naturally, the ring flew off when he was dancing and it was lost

Couldn’t even go on stage to look for it when he realized because another group was on stage

Had a mini panic attack and called you crying while the guys tried to help find it after the show

You tried to calm him down over the phone and tell him that you two can just buy a new one

He didn’t want a new one, he wanted that one

He knew he could buy a new one, but he couldn’t buy the memories that came with the original

He won it in a claw machine during the date where you two made it official

It was one of those games where the prizes are actually expensive and good quality

After you two redeemed the rings, he got down on one knee and “proposed”

“Y/N, will you make me the happiest man alive and allow me to be your boyfriend?”

And on your one year anniversary you two got each other’s names and your anniversary date engraved on the inside

A few days later a staff member brought the ring and told him how they found it when they were taking down the set

After that he made sure all of his performance clothes had a tiny pocket on the inside just for his ring

한 지 성 (Han Ji-Sung)

Paints one of his nails to match yours

It started randomly

You two were watching an anime together and you were painting your nails because you needed something to do with your hands

When you finished, you saw how engrossed be was in the show

So you painted his pinky nail to see if he would noticed

He didn’t

After you finished painting his pinky, you contemplated painting the rest of his nails to see how far you could get

Decided against it since it would be a waste and he would just take it off soon anyway

“Look, we match!” Drawing attention to your handiwork

He looked confused at first

He saw how happy it made you and decided to just leave it

You were honestly surprised to see the nail polish still there 2 weeks later and slightly chipped

He was not happy to see that you had painted them a different color

“We don’t match anymore.”

It’d take you a second to realize that he was talking about the nail polish

"Let's get that fixed, shall we?"

"Can we put it on this finger this time?"

He would point to his ring finger

Wears his nail polish like a wedding ring

Has gotten to the point where you just text him when you changed the color

Would not let his stylist remove the polish or paint over it anytime he had to paint his nails for work

That nail was reserved for you two only

Fans thought he was just trying to be stylish and different with the singular different color nail

He bought a large set of mini nail polishes so that he would be prepared for the next time you went and painted your nails

Takes them with him on tour with him so he can keep up

Stares at his hand fondly and thinks of you

이 용 복 (Lee Felix Yong-Bok)

Matching bracelets

He was helping you move out of your parents' house and into your first apartment when he found a bracelet making kit

Persuaded you into taking a quick break so you can make bracelets

You taught him a few simple braids that he could weave together on his own

Took him a few minutes but he got the hang of it

When you two were finished, he suggested that you two swapped bracelets

Only takes it off when he has to for work or when he's taking a shower

Stay once made fun of it because it was so out of place with all of his expensive accessories

"This is the most expensive accessory I own, actually."

He felt bad because the one you wore was like a shoelace compared to his

You had incorporated both his and your favorite colors and somehow added little heart beads

Bought his own kit and practiced making bracelets until he was satisfied

Surprised you with the new bracelet

"Now I have one for each arm." "You can just take off the first one." "Why would I do that?" "You don't have to pretend to like it." "Why would I pretend to like it? I love it, you made it for me. A Lix original."

Would try not to cry, and fail miserably, over those words while tying the bracelet for you

김 승 민 (Kim Seung-Min)

Keeps a photo of you in his phone case

You two went and printed photo cards of each other at the mall one day

It was one of those kiosk where you could upload personal photos and they print out in photo card form immediately

You guys have two each, one individual photo of each other and your favorite couple photos

He keeps the couple photo framed and takes it with him on tour

But the one of just you? That's on his person 24/7

He considered getting one of those phone cases where you could insert a photo card or a clear case but he knew that would only cause him trouble, you two were meant to be a secret

So inside the phone case it went where it couldn't be seen

That thing is so protected, even if his phone fell into a sink full of water, your photocard would be fine

Pulls it out and stares at it when he's sad

Or tired

Or anxious

Or stressed

Or mad

Or drained

Or happy

He's so in love with you that he's always staring

Especially when you two are apart for long periods of time

If you two are unable to video chat but can talk on the phone normally, he'll pull out the photo card so he can at least look at you while talking

Panics any time his phone is missing

That photo cards, and the countless other photos he has of you on his phone would be gone forever

If you ever ask him about where he keeps his picture of you, he will lie and say it's at the dorm or something

You can't know how much he is actually in love with you

Sometimes the boys will find him asleep clutching his phone and when they go to try and take it so that they can charge it, they realized that he was just staring at the photocard taped to the case

양 정 인 (Yang Jeong-In)

Sets a picture of you as his lock screen

It took a lot of work

Chan had to help him figure out how to do it at first

If anyone looked at his phone, they wouldn’t see you, they would see a random landscape

But, if anyone held down on the lock screen, they would see the landscape pan over to you and you would be smiling at the camera

He saw that trend where people were turning live photos in to lock screens and figured it was the best compromise

Plays the video often when he misses you

Just sitting there, looking at his phone lock screen

Is careful how he holds his phone in public, does not want to accidentally trigger the video to play

Gets teased and called a simp for how often he looks at his phone smiling

But he doesn’t care

He just want to see the love of his life

[spoopy-fish-writes]

Hello!! Do you think I could request some general hcs of dating Rio?? Tanks youu ☺️

—General Rio dating headcanons

Suitor(s): Rio Ortiz

TW: A few allusions to yandere behaviour and possessiveness/ jealousy

Notes: Gender neutral MC || Rio!!! My beloved puppy!!! I never knew just how much I needed to write this so I thank you for the request 🙏💜

This man gives you everything

He has got to be the biggest giver to exist because he would find a way to give you the whole world and never even think to ask for anything in return

Just the fact that you returned his feelings was almost overwhelming to him, he honestly couldn't even fathom why someone who he thinks is as perfect as you would ever look at him twice, much less have feelings for him in return

Anything you want, you'll get and he doesn't really care when he has to do to get it

In his eyes, you deserve the whole world and more

He literally pampers you so much, you would never even so much as have to life a finger if it was up to him honestly and he's so supportive

He'll support you in anything you do and compliment you the whole way throughout

While he loves saying how much he adores you, he loves showing it even more

A lot of touching is definitely a big part of the relationship of you would allow him

Cuddling, hand holding, random kisses from either one of you when the other is doing a good job, he loves that kind of stuff

Within seconds he's melting into your touch and it's very difficult not to melt into his own

He'll hold you like you're the most precious thing he's ever had the opportunity to encounter and he looks at you like you're the only person in the world, he's so dedicated and loyal to you

He absolutely has all of your favourite things memorized

Like, you've known each other how long now?

Favourite foods, favourite drinks, favourite colours, favourite clothes, the exact way that you like your tea or coffee

Breakfast in bed, fresh flowers at your bedside table, the whole shebang, like, he treats you like royalty moreso than he treats the actual royalty

Don't think it's all heavy romance and serious love with him though, he's still quite goofy with you

Random tickle fights are a must with him, especially when the either of you is feeling especially low or tired

Snatching you away at the ends of balls and other social events so the two of you can just dance and muck around in the gardens to lighten the mood after having to spend the night in a hall of stuffy nobles, the stars glittering down on you as the two of you laugh, both aware of the fact that no one will bother you because they're all to busy inside

You were friends before you were lovers and that element of innocent friendship doesn't just go away

However, nor does the protectiveness and possessiveness that was still there when the two of you were still just friends

He's still just as protective of you and will always prioritise your safety whenever he can

His jealousy can occasionally cloud his judgement but your reassurance is usually enough to snap him out of it with how easy it is to tell when he's uncomfortable that someone is getting so close to you

His main aim is so make sure that you're happy and safe and he doesn't really care for the cost

He loves you so much that it almost blinds him but having you love him back is so much sweeter

How They Handle Spicy Food: Clone Wars Edition

Padme Amidala:

Like everything else she does in her life, Padme is downright regal with her spicy foods. She’s not a fan, per say, but she does consume more spice than the average person due to her position as a senator political dinners and all that and being married to Anakin. And she always handles it with grace. 

Padme has a good understanding of her limits and usually sticks within them. She might shed a tear or have a cough here and there, but there are no freak outs, no getting sick, no screaming, no wailing - true queen behavior.

Ahsoka Tano:

So Ahsoka’s introduction to spice is entirely her own fault but she’ll tell the story as if it’s Anakin’s. 

Whenever it’s mealtime, whether they’re at Dex’s or on the go, Anakin will leave his food. He’ll get up to go to the bathroom or call Padme and he leaves his food unattended. As a Padawan, it is Ahsoka’s Force-given right to steal his food. So she does. Frequently. 

Until one day, while Anakin’s back is turned, she takes a bite of his mashed potatoes of all things and her mouth lights on fire. He was nice about it though and bought her ice cream in between his laughing fits. This incident, however, was not enough to deter Ahsoka. She continues to steal his food. It’s like a game of roulette and that’s where her tolerance comes from. She’s a fan.

Obi Wan Kenobi:

This is the quickest way to get Obi Wan cursing. He usually doesn’t like to since he considers it uncouth so he’ll swear in anything but Basic. It’s quite a spectacle. That being said, it’s hilarious how bad he is with spicy food. Sriracha would kill him. Certain people have innate talents for certain things; Obi Wan Kenobi was not built for spice. 

There’s a rumor among the Jedi that a medic had to be called because his and Anakin’s orders got switched. This rumor is true. He thought he was dying. It’s unfair how often this man gets clowned on for his poor tolerance. And, although it may have been cruel, Anakin did dose Obi Wan’s tea with pepper flakes once in revenge while he was a Padawan. He regrets it weekly, in that, he regrets how hard it made him laugh.

Anakin Skywalker:

An expert, a connoisseur, a fanatic, the Jedi Order’s one and only Spice King. It’s not exactly that Anakin has high tolerance. He does, but that’s not the main takeaway. Anakin just likes spicy food. He loves it. He adores it. He lives for the burn, the sweats, the high that you get afterward. He’s all in, all the time. He’s even developed a method to minimize the gastric distress while maximizing spice. He carries a packet of pepper flakes with him everywhere he goes. Occasionally, he’ll use it as a weapon. 

This man will drink veritable battery acid and enjoy it. He might actually have a problem.

“But the burn means it’s good, Obi Wan.”

Commander Cody:

Cody, on his own, is middle of the road. He’ll add some generic hot sauce to his meals every now and then. He’ll add a dash of pepper and have a couple dips of salsa. The thing is, this is one of the many areas where Cody applies his fine-tuned common sense and refuses to engage his peers in their tomfoolery. He just watches it all go down. When holovids pop up with Obi Wan speaking in tongues or Rex sobbing into his plate while he bravely soldiers on, 9/10 times it’s Cody.

Captain Rex:

I believe it’s pretty much canon that Rex has the heart of a lion. He’s brave and loyal and a good man, goddamn it. If there’s one thing Rex has going for him, it’s willpower. He sweats and shakes and has to do some form of calisthenics or maybe even a crossword to get through the meal, but he gets through it. Poor guy has no tolerance. He’s actually worse than Obi Wan but he’s got heart and that’s all that matters.

Darth Maul:

He’s the one you actually want to watch consume obscenely spicy food because he’s so overconfident. He’s had his legs cut off, after all. He’s a Sith Lord, after all. He knows pain, after all. What’s a pepper or two? and yes he’s the dumbass who eats the thing whole. 

Maul is the guy who takes a huge bite and gets the look. You know, the I have made a critical error look. He’s the one with the dramatics; screaming, cursing, sweating, threats of violence. He powers through it though and gets horribly sick afterward. It’s never not funny.

Bo Katan Kryze:

An actual monster with no pain receptors it’s actually a genetic mutation do not challenge her you will rue the day.

[katsukis-sad-angel]

Based on a True Story

Summary: there's this boy who makes you super uncomfy and doesnt take a hit, but you're to sweet to tell him to back off. Katsuki Bakugou, the more blunt end of the friendship, is happy to tell him off and free you from that sorry bastard.

Pairing: Katsuki Bakugou x Fem!Reader

Warnings: possible tw, a lot of swearing and some pretty colorful insults, there are guys that are really fucking creepy, based on the actual events of February 7th, 2021 at around 10:30 pm

A/N: this was very very rushed, I just wanted to write myself some comfort real quick and go to bed last night and I didn't have time to properly edit! I'm really proud of some of the banter lmao, please enjoy and never be afraid to punt a ballsack! I'll add tags later🙄🙄🙄

A message popped up on your screen and your once neutral expression went sour. Slamming the face of your phone onto your pillow, you groaned angrily into your bedspread, catching the attention of a certain ash blonde sitting in your comfy desk chair a few feet away. Katsuki Bakugou, one of your best friends, gave a questioning glance but refused to meet his ember gaze

“What’s your deal?” He asked, not letting his genuine curiosity as to why there was such a pained look on your face, show.

You opened your mouth but paused.

Katsuki already knew about this boy and scolded you every time he saw his name pop up in your notifications, telling you to ‘fucking block him already’ for the umpteenth time. It wasn’t like you had feelings for the guy anymore, you were just too nice and polite to cut him off completely and tell him to go fuck himself.

The ash-blonde had already volunteered to do it for you, but you always said no because you knew he’d just find another way to contact you.

“It’s that piss baby again isn’t it?” 

“Yeah…”

“Wow, did you just agree with one of my insults?”

“Suki, I’m about to take you up on your offer to tell him to go fuck himself.”

He snickered, “Now you’re talking sense. What the hell is that pansy bitching about now?”

You sigh and roll over on your back and Katsuki moves to sit on the edge of your bed.

“I cut him off for a while, I really did! It felt so good to be free of him, but then he got my number again and started bothering me a few days ago. I saw him at school yesterday and told him I wasn’t interested in dating at all and he was like whatever so I honestly thought he could keep it in his pants and we could just be friends but nooo! He calls me a simp for anime guys, I tell him to stop being a hypocrite because he used to simp for me and he was like “I still do. You’re the only one” yeah like I’m stupid enough to actually believe that!”

You paused to catch your breath, but before you could start speaking again Katsuki interjected, “Well, you are stupid…”

You socked him in the bicep and he hunched over laughing. You looked so fucking adorable when you got royally pissed at him.

“Oh go to hell.” You snapped, crossing your arms and continuing, “Anyway, this guy used to simp for my goddamn sister! Not only do I reject being a replacement for her, but if she rejected his sorry ass, that means he’s a huge piece of shit because she’s super picky.”

“I might’ve mentioned that once or twice-”

You punched him again to shut him up. “Plus he’s super creepy and gross and it always feels like he’s undressing me with his eyes and whenever he’s around I want to dive into a pool full of only chlorine and drink it. I’m just trying to coexist and just be nice to him but apparently, a female looking in his general direction means that they want dicked down by his micropenis. He’s so fucking dense too. Why can’t he see that I’m not interested, especially after I EXPLICITLY told him that?!”

By that point, you were on the verge of frustrated tears, bottom lip trembling just slightly with bottled up emotion.

Katsuki could see it.

You felt trapped in something you never signed up for and you’d do anything to get out. All of this frustration had been stored inside of you for so long and it just kept mounting and multiplying until you burst into tears.

“Goddammit, come here dumbass,” He growled, gathering you into a warm embrace, “You can’t keep all this bs inside okay?”

He let you sob into his shoulder, one calloused hand supporting the base of your neck and the other crossed firmly over your back so you’d feel safe and secure; away from the world full of horrible people and into a small one of just your best friend’s warmth and the sweet sweet scent of caramel.

“Why don’t you listen to me? You’re just too fucking nice to every shitty dickhead that sees you as an easy, fuckable target. Something really fucking bad is gonna happen to you if you don’t shape up and learn how to punt a dude’s excuse for a ballsack and tell him what you really think.”

You raised your head from the solace of his shoulder to look at him with big, reproachful doe eyes and whimpered, “I tried that!”

“Have you tried punting their fucking balls first?”

“No… that would hurt.”

“That’s the point.”

“But if I did it without reason I could get suspended or charged with aggravated assault!”

It was Katsuki’s turn to sigh.

“That’s not the point dumbass, the point is that you need to tell these bastards off when they start getting creepy. You know what? Why don’t you just fucking ignore their sorry asses in the first place!”

You sniffle and drag a hand over your cheek to dry your tears, then resume your position with your face in the crook of your best friend’s neck.

“I feel bad for them.”

“Well stop. I’m gonna call him now alright? After that, we’ll block his stupid ass on every fucking app, you hear me?”

You nod and hug him tighter as he leans forward to grab your phone and opens it with your passcode, swiftly finding his name in your contact list and pressing the call icon, then he tapped the speaker button and waited.

The call was picked up almost immediately and a voice on the other line said, “Hey cutie! I was just about to call and ask to see if you wanted to come over on-”

“She’s not here.” Katsuki cut him off with a dry snarl, “And last time I checked she wasn’t interested enough in your sorry ass for you to be calling her ‘cutie.’” 

You could almost hear his lip curl in utter disgust.

“Who the fuck are you?” The voice asked, dropping its sickeningly sweet tone to something more appropriate in light of the previous insult.

“I’m her fucking boyfriend you dickwad-” You popped up from your haven in surprise, mouth open to sputter in protest but he put a finger to your lips and smirked, “who the fuck are you?”

“No fucking way that whore has a boyfriend-”

“Ex-fucking-scuse me? Shut your mouth, you mother fucking pussy, insult her one more time and I’ll fuck you up so bad you won’t be recognizable by the time you get to the hospital.” He snapped back, “She’s crying right now because you’re too dense to realize she doesn’t want any business with some horse-faced piss baby like you. Take the hint right fucking now you useless bastard so you don’t make the mistake of coming near her again because I. Will. Kill. You. Delete this number because she’s too sweet to block you herself, but I will.”

“Fuck man, I was just tryna get laid. She’s the one who started rubbing herself all over me-”

“I said delete this number. Damn, you are a dense piece of shit aren’t you?”

“Hey, I-”

Katsuki pressed ‘end call’ and blocked his contact, moving from Instagram to Snapchat, to any social app you had, and blocked him left and right until he was satisfied.

“Feel better?” He asked softly, tossing your phone aside and peeling you off.

You carded a shaky hand through your hair and wiped your eyes, giving him a watery smile and a nod.

“Why did you tell him that we were in a relationship?” You asked, voice on the edge of a taunt.

“To make him mad.”

“I mean, it worked, but is that the only reason?” You giggled.

“The hell are you insinuating?”

“Do you… possibly by chance… have feelings for me?”

You batted your eyes at him and he retched, but the smirk was still present on his handsome features.

“What’s it to you?”

You squirm a bit, but something pops into your head so you can stall a bit longer.

“I mean, you’re not THAT ugly-”

He responded with a simple, harsh flick to the forehead to make you whine and try to whack him, but he easily intercepted your fist and pushed you on your back, caging you in nothing short of a horizontal kabedon.

It was your turn to smirk, “Yenno ‘Suki, I could very easily… oh what was your phrasing? ‘Punt your fucking balls’ in this position…”

“Just shut up and tell me what the hell you want.” Katsuki snapped.

“You’re cute when you’re flustered.” You prod.

“You look like a pissed hamster when you’re mad.” He shot back.

“You smell like a fucking candy store after training.”

“You’re the dictionary definition of a dumbass.”

“You have a better hourglass figure than Yaomomo.”

“You're quickly becoming an extra.”

“Date me.”

“Fine.”

“Wait really?”

“It’s the only way I can kiss you, protect you, and keep you all to myself.” He shrugged, leaning in dangerously close, “You don’t fucking understand how hard it is to watch you prancing around with one failed abortion after another and watching you cry because they leave since you don’t want the one thing they’re after.”

“You’ve always been there for me ‘Suki… I guess I just took you for granted, and I’m really sorry.” You met his soft vermillion gaze with a meaningful and apologetic one and reached out to squeeze his hand.

“‘S okay. You’re mine now, right?”

You nod, smiling. 

“So it doesn’t matter how dense you are anymore.” He smirked, laying down on your bed and dragging you down with him so you were tucked comfortably under his chin.

You grabbed the remote and flicked on the tv, preparing to turn on an anime you had in mind.

“What romance garbage are you inflicting on me this time?” Your new boyfriend groaned, burying his face in your hair.

“One that’s super sappy and romantic and sad just to piss you off.” You pouted, clicking on each letter to form the desired word in the search bar.

“Have fun with that.” Katsuki snarked, beginning to move away, but you stopped him by deftly pressing your lips to his.

You slowly pulled away, blushing furiously, but happy to feel strong forearms snaking around your front and crossing over your stomach.

“I certainly will.” You respond.

Pavlov ~ Katsuki Bakugo

A/n: this comes from my headcanon from the other day lowkey had this written for over a week but never found the motivation to edit it.

A/n 2: Keeper of the Lost Cities is mentioned in this so if you don’t know Keeper I’m sorry read it it’s a great series! Also, this is my first x reader piece I’ve ever written (except for the headcanons) so I hope you enjoy!

“I don’t know,” Bakugo finally sighed, cracking under Kirishima’s curious gaze. “I get so damn angry at her. Who gave her the right to look so good all the time or laugh so fucking adorably?”

Kaminari glanced at Kirishima, before the redhead cleared his throat, “what do you mean angry at her?”

“I don’t know,” Bakugo rolled his eyes, “I just want to get fucking mad at her every time she’s with Midoriya! Like the hell she doing hanging with that nerd and not us?”

“Bro,” Kaminari grinned, “you like her!”

“The fuck? Someone like her? Fuck no.”

Kirishima cleared his throat, “I mean think about it man, she’s amazing. And you get mad when she’s not talking to you, mad when she ain’t here, think she’s adorable, man, it doesn’t add up...unless you like her.”

Bakugo glared at his two friends, before stalking off. Why would he, Katsuki Bakugo, like an extra?

But second year came to an end, and he still found himself getting so angry—by now he’d figured out it was his own feelings he was angry at since he knew that he was deeply infatuated with you.

Obviously, he told you. What good would it bring to keep it in?

“Hey moron,” Katsuki called you over. You were a bit confused, since he’d only talk to you when you guys were training and needed a partner.

“What’s up?”

Bakugo glared at you, “be my girlfriend.”

Your jaw dropped, did you hear right? Bakugo just told you to be his girlfriend? What right does he have to say that? After blinking a few times, you shook your head, “sorry Bakugo, I kinda have a thing for Izuku.”

The hell? You had feelings for Deku? You—amazing, beautiful, funny, annoying, clumsy—turned the great Katsuki Bakugo down because you had feeling for Deku?

Bakugo took a deep breath, calming the rage bubbling up, and shook his head, “he’s dating pink cheeks.”

“I know,” you frowned, thinking about every forced smile when Ochaco gushed about her and Izuku’s most recent date. “But that doesn’t change anything for me.”

That was the end of the conversation. Bakugo had feelings for you. You had feelings for Deku.

Summer at UA always came and went quickly. It felt like yesterday that you and Bakugo stood outside the school taking about your feelings.

The first day back, you joked around with Ochaco and gushed excitedly about the trip she and Izuku took when Bakugo passed by, shoving your favorite candy in your hand. You stared at it in confusion and watched Bakugo stalk off to talk with Kirishima.

A week passed and every morning, without fail, Bakugo brought your favorite candy first thing in the morning. He didn’t say anything—just shoved candy in your direction and kept walking.

Another week passed, and the confusion wore off. It wasn’t, “okay why is Bakugo bringing me candy?” But, “I wonder when I’ll see Bakugo?”

Three weeks into the new routine, Bakugo handed a book you’d never read into your hand along with your favorite candy.

Four weeks into it, another book.

That soon became the new routine. Every Monday morning, a book of your favorite genre would accompany your candy bar.

Something happened in the new book, Keeper of the Lost Cities, that you just couldn’t contain to yourself. You asked your best friend, Ochaco if she’d read it, but she simply shook her head.

After asking four other people, including Izuku, and they all never even heard of the book, you timidly approached Bakugo.

“What do you want?”

“Hey Bakugo,” you gave an awkward smile, “you know the book you gave me this week?”

“Keeper, yeah. What about it?”

“Have you read it?”

“Yeah. I read every book before you get them.”

You froze at that statement, before grinning, sliding into Izuku’s seat, “oh my gosh! If I’d known that I’d have told you all about my theories. But! Can you believe that Sophie chose Fitz over Keefe? I mean Keefe is clearly the better choice and Fitz just throws fits all the time like come on!”

Bakugo stared at you, before sighing, “Fitz only cares about himself and his image. Keefe doesn’t care about any of that and just wants Sophie to be happy.”

“Exactly!” You grinned, “I wonder what the Great Gulon Incident was?”

Bakugo nodded, “the author’s supposed to release that soon, she said it’d be in Keefe’s pov.”

You two talked and talked. You talked until the bell rang and you talked while Bakugo made you both dinner. Bakugo was a fantastic cook—and even held off on the spice for your sake.

That soon became the new routine.

Every morning you woke up excited to see Bakugo, excited for candy, for a book, and for Friday and Saturday—when you and Bakugo spent 24/7 with each other, you talking about the book, him offering some side comments, theories, cooking, and cleaning.

The other students quickly noticed this new change in behavior.

“I wonder if Katsuki could make bulgogi,” you wondered aloud, pushing the cart after Ochaco and Tsyuu.

“You like Bakugo,” Ochaco suddenly blurted out, not able to contain herself anymore. She’d wanted to ask you about it for a few weeks now, but never found the right time.

“Huh? No!” You shook your head furiously, “I don’t like him.”

“Sure,” Tsyuu grabbed something, tossing it into the cart, “that’s why you’re always with him and talking about him.”

“I don’t like him!” You groaned, “he’s arrogant and self absorbed and only cares about himself.”

Still, you thought to yourself, he’s not like that at all. Katsuki’s honest and caring and kind and somewhat gentle in his aggressive behavior. Is he really all that bad?

The next few days, that’s all you could think about. Why were you always so excited to see him? You didn’t like him, you liked Izuku, right?

“Hey Katsuki, can I talk to you?” You approached with a frown, interrupting his conversation with Kirishima and Kaminari.

He nodded, and you clarified that you wanted to talk alone. Thing 1 and Thing 2 gave each other curious glances, and Bakugo stood up, confused by your demeanor. You never talked to him while...sad?

“What’s wrong, Teddy Bear?”

You opened your mouth but quickly shut it at the nickname, cheeks flushing. You had to look away from his smirking face to even think. “I like Izuku.”

Bakugo scoffed, but you continued, finally looking up at him, “so why am I always so happy to see you Katsuki? When Izuku walks into the room all I can think about is if you’re gonna join or what you’re doing.”

Bakugo sighed, “that’s because I’m in love with you, dumbass.”

You stared at him, before shaking your head, “no. That doesn’t explain why I feel these things!”

“Why not? Why is it so hard to accept that you have feelings for me?”

You sucked in a breath, as if a train struck you down. Why is it so hard to accept he has feelings for you? Would it be all that terrible if you had feelings for him? Izuku is Keefe and Bakugo is Fitz—why would you choose the man that throws fits? That would be ridiculous and irresponsible. Still, was Bakugo really Fitz?

Ochaco complains all the time about the way Izuku parades her around, like she’s a tool for more publicity. But that hadn’t mattered because that didn’t mean anything to you—if it were you you wouldn’t complain at all—you’d just be happy to be by Izuku’s side.

But would those things bother you?

Would Bakugo do those things?

Was Bakugo Keefe after all? Was he the one who ran off and made the reckless decisions?

“Go on a date with me,” Bakugo suddenly said, pulling you out of your thoughts, “we can go to your favorite restaurant.”

Your eyes widened. How did he know that was your fav restaurant —in fact, how did he know anything was your favorite?

“But I-I-no. I can’t.”

Bakugo scoffed, “really? Or are you scared of your own feelings?”

You finally relented, and went on a date with Katsuki Bakugo.

After all, you were just so happy to be near Katsuki.

Ongoing Recs: 2012 Timeline Stucky

So. This isn’t quite like my Top 10 fic rec lists, mostly because I don’t have ten fics to rec for this particular trope. Genre? AU, that works. I’m not even sure there’s ten total fics on A03, though they could be using a tag I’m not aware of. That being the case, I’m leaving this open for me to come back and edit it to add more fics -- there’s a couple I haven’t had the chance read yet, one that’s a WIP, and there may be more that come out in the future. There’s a few Big Bangs happening, I think, or something like them, and I wouldn’t be surprised if one or two of the fics in that go for this AU. Anyway! I absolutely love this AU and would adore seeing more of them, so that’s a hint to any writers out there, and also one to any readers who know of a fic I’ve missed! Also, I’m planning on making a separate post for general Endgame fix-it fics, because I think this falls into a different category, but hey, if you disagree let me know!

Act of Sage by hotelmichelle. Oof. Just. That’s kinda my gut reaction to this story, in a good way, if that makes any sense. It’s on the same level as all the fics that came out post-WS and dug deep in what happened to Bucky, the process he’d have to go through in order to climb out of the hole Hydra dragged him into, but it’s cathartic, I think, if you’re able to handle the themes the story deals with. It’s honestly kinder to EG!Steve than he maybe deserves, given that it implies that Steve went out of his way to inform his younger self of what he meant by Bucky is alive, and that it wasn’t just a diversion tactic on his part, that he really wanted to help the Bucky of this timeline and save him from an additional two years of hell. No idea what that means for when he went back to the past, but that’s not the point of this story so I won’t get into it here. There’s no quick fix for Bucky once Steve does find him, and there’s no moment of recognition like we get in WS, not initially, but personally, as much as it hurts to watch Bucky treat Steve like a handler and a perfect stranger besides, it’s... realistic. That’s what this fic is, ultimately, I think -- based on both the MCU’s established canon and real-life, this fic is fairly realistic about what Steve and Bucky would have to go through to find their way back to each other. This is definitely a heed the tags fic, though, so be careful with yourselves if you’re interested in reading it. That said, I absolutely loved this fic, and there’s plans for a sequel which I’m very very excited about!!

a road less traveled by Claudia_files, cyclamental art, maichan, zilia. Okay, this is by far one of the more light-hearted of the fics I’ve read so far, though it does deal with some of the same mature themes as Act of Sage. If you hate Brock Rumlow and wish either Steve or Sam had gotten a chance to fuck him up a little more, read this. Also! If you love Loki and his mischievous ways, read this. Steve and Bucky are very very sweet with each other in this, very tender, and the Avengers get a lot of screen time acting as the found family trope we were all so irritatingly denied. Steve and Bucky are also tremendous idiots in this, the both of them, so they get my favorite Dumbasses to Lovers tag in this one. Oh, and there’s art in this! Gorgeous art, and there’s one in particular... well. I hate Brock Rumlow with every bit of my heart, so trust me when I say that it’s a delightful image to accompany that particular chapter. Hm, there’s one other draw for this but it’s way, way too spoiler-y for me to point it out directly, so let me just say the very end of this story features a lovely fuck you to Endgame Steve that I thoroughly enjoyed. I feel no sympathy for that man, and he’s only redeemed in fix-it fics, in my humble opinion. God, anyway, heed the tags again for this one, but I very much recommend it -- I loved every single chapter!

hey logan ! i’m thinking of getting into re8, so here i am at the re8 expert’s door for any lore and headcanon’s you have for any of the characters/place settings (i’m fine with ‘spoilers’!) :]

OMG OMG JACK HELLO I AM SO HAPPY TO OBLIGE

i’m adding a cut because i started rambling so the post ended up being a bit long. i tried to organize all the ideas as best i could and made some smaller sections to make it easier to process

also, i wrote this operating on the assumption that this is your first re game. so i might go too in depth for some stuff that you might already know i just like talking about re

TO PREFACE: i haven’t played 8, and i’m not sure if i’ll ever be able to. i’ve watched a bunch of edited play throughs and am currently about 2/3 of the way thorough snapcube’s full play through!

ok so. in my opinion 8 is VERY different from a lot of the other resident evil games in terms of atmosphere/setting. while most of the games before had been very ‘zombie/virus/mad science’ feeling, this game is closer to a fantasy type vibe (although it is all explained by science).

just to give a brief synopsis- ethan winters is the protagonist. his main motive is to rescue his daughter, who was taken into this village that is overrun by monsters. the village is run by mother miranda, who’s sort of a deity to the people of the village. the rest of the land is divided up amongst the four lords. i’m order to save his daughter, ethan has to fight through each of the lords.

my favorite lords

my favorite lords are donna beneviento and karl heisenberg. i hc them both to be trans and autistic :) to be honest, i hc every single resident evil character to be trans lmao

anyways. donna beneviento. she’s the doll maker and her portion of the game is probably my favorite. she only speaks once in the game, and you only see her face once. she’s very reclusive and typically speaks through her dolls. i also personally think she’s the most compassionate of the lords, despite her section being one of the most horrifying. her abilities rely mostly on causing someone’s own mind to sort of turn on itself and feeds into the person’s fears. but yeah, i love her and hc her as autistic :)

karl heisenberg is the magneto dude lmao. i love his parts in the game because he feels very… genuinely unhinged. like he’s HILARIOUS but not really on purpose, he’s just being really showy and dramatic. i personally wasn’t a fan with how they ended his part on the story bc i want to see more of him lmao

ok also. she isn’t a lord, but i adore daniela dimitrescu. she’s one of the daughters of the Tall Vampire Lady and she’s TOTALLY unhinged. even though i have favorite parts of the game, i love all of it. i wasn’t expecting to care that much about the dimitrescu section of the game but honestly all of it was so enjoyable

ethan winters

ethan winters is probably my favorite playable character of resident evil because he’s so… i don’t wanna say stupid, but he’s a dumbass

he’s like a horror movie protagonist that is in the situation they’re in because they made a dumb decision. but i think that’s so funny, especially for resident evil. his character in 7 vs 8 is pretty much the same- his objective is always to protect his family, and i think that’s really good for resident evil as well. most of the past characters’ motives were taking down huge corporations or stopping the spread of a virus, but ethan’s is just to protect his family and get somewhere safe.

tie ins to other games

i figured i’d add a section about this since i love all of the re games so much!

so the first obvious one- chris redfield is a relatively main character in this. he’s the co-protagonist of the original resident evil, so he’s definitely still involved with plot lmao. he was 25 in the first game, so in re8, he’s nearing 50.

at the end of re7, ethan winters meets chris redfield after escaping the baker’s residence. chris was working with blue umbrella at the time I THINK i’m gonna be honest i don’t keep up with what organization he’s with because he switches around so many times. basically he takes ethan and his wife and move them to europe as a sort of witness protection program. i like to think chris became close with them and would go over for dinner

anyways in re8 he gets tangled up in the plot in pretty significant ways. he’s one of the ogs of re so it was definitely fun to see him fighting monsters well into his 40s

there’s a few references to other games throughout re8. my favorites are

- the duke (who is the shop keep) has a line where he says something along the lines of ‘what’re ya buying? heh, just something a friend of mine says.’ this is a reference to re4’s merchant, who would say that when you opened his inventory. i thought this was a really funny implication- that the duke and the merchant know each other.

- one of heisenberg’s lines refers to chris as a ‘boulder-punching asshole’ which is capcom making a joke about themselves. in resident evil 5, there’s a scene where chris redfield literally punches a boulder into an active volcano. it was memed a lot because it was such a ridiculous scene, so this line is capcom acknowledging it

general/setting

i think resident evil 8 did a good job being a great game but also keeping the core resident evil elements. like the plot’s connection to the overall re universe is dumb as hell but it feels very resident evil. personally i feel like it’s super similar to re4 in the sense that it takes the typical zombie genre but gives it a completely different setting or tone than you’d usually expect. like, castles in a zombie survival horror game is BRILLIANT and not something i’d ever expect.

i’m also a huge fan of the sort of ‘mutating into something that isn’t human’ trope and resident evil 8 has SO MUCH of that. all of the lords are basically infected by a parasite that affected them all in a different way. so heisenberg can control metal while donna causes hallucinations and shit.

———

ok i think that’s most of my thoughts on it… re8 is such a good game and even though the plot can be dumb and full of contradictions the campiness and seriousness is balanced near perfectly in re8. one of the issues some of the past re games had is they took themselves too seriously. re8 does a great job at not taking itself too seriously in order to be a fun game.

i hope this wasn’t too long! i love re8 to death and will always jump to talk abt it lol. ethan winters is one of my favorite re characters ever, and this game is full of great ethan moments. i hope you enjoy it!! it’s definitely a great experience regardless of if you care about the lord and connections to other games.

#thank you SO MUCH for this ask i love talking about resident evil and my family is tired of me telling them random #lore facts out of nowhere #anyways. i hope this is helpful! feel free to just skim it bc i started rambling #i also tried to keep it relatively spoiler free #logan.txt #evil residence #asks

Adorable - SFC 1

I haven’t really been able to write anything for the last month, so I figured a little challenge created on the LBSC disco would be a good little exercise to get those creative muscles moving again.  Rules at the end.  Prompt was “Has anyone told you how adorable you are?  Because you really are.” This one is dedicated to @verfound (hence the weekend custody of her son that we all know and love). 

“Okay, so to be fair,” Luka tells her before she even has an opportunity to comment on the scene in front of her.  “This was not how this morning was supposed to go.”

Marinette couldn’t help but laugh at the sight of Luka, and nearly every surface in the kitchen, completely covered in almond flour.  She did her best to hide her giggles behind her hand, but even she knew it was no use.  “What happened?”

“I asked Tom to teach me how to make your favorite macarons. We made some last night while you were at Alya’s, but I took them back to the ship.  We had band practice and my dumbass best friend ate them,” Luka rolled his eyes.  “So, Sabine said I could come first thing this morning since the bakery was closed.”

“Okay,” Marinette nodded, getting a few tea towels from the cabinet and tossing one to him, while she wiped down the closest counter. “But that doesn’t explain the flour.”

“My dumbass best friend also decided that because he was the one that ate them, he should help.” Luka wiped off the mixer with a little more vigor than necessary.

“So where is our beloved Dingo then?” Marinette laughed.

Luka froze and stared up at her.   “He is not beloved, Nette.  No one loves that idiot.”

“You love that idiot.” Marinette made her way over to him, and brushed the flour gently off his face.

“I do not,” he objected with a pout.

“Has anyone ever told you how adorable you are when you’re mad at him?  Because you really are.” She kissed his nose, giggling yet again when he let out a soft ‘humph’.

“Yes,” he tells her, capturing her lips in a quick kiss before placing a soft kiss to her forehead.  “It means a lot more coming from you though.”

Marinette laughs, kissing him again. She pulls back quickly, suddenly remembering the mess around them.  “So wait.  How exactly did this happen?”

“The almond flour was on the top shelf. As I was going to grab a ladder, I looked back and the dingbat was scaling the utility shelves.  I guess he didn't realize how heavy an industrial bag of flour was, because he fell backwards and the flour bag busted open when it hit the ground.”

“Oh my God.  Is he okay?”

“He’s fine,” Luka assures her looking around the mess.  “Tom is going to kill me though. I just helped him with the deep cleaning.”

Marinette squeezed his arm sympathetically, just as Dingo came back into the kitchen, slightly damp but mostly free of flour.  “He’s not going to kill you.  You, however,” she added, nodding over to the Australian.  “You will probably be banned from the kitchen.”

“As long as it’s not the bakery,” Dingo sighed.  “I don’t think I could survive life without Tom’s cupcakes.  Sorry about your macaroons.  Lover Boy over here never should have brought them back to The LIberty on a practice night.  He really should have known better, so this is really all his fault if you think about it.”

Luka huffed and threw a towel at him.  “No, if you think about it, you should be the one cleaning up this mess, not Marinette and I.”

“Fine, fine,” Dingo told him with a settle down gesture.  “You two go and celebrate.  I”ll clean up here.  Maybe that will help my case when it comes to Tom. Just don’t do anything Bri and I wouldn’t.”  He wiggles his eyebrows at the couple, and Luka rolls his eyes in response.  “Doesn’t really eliminate much, then.”

Marinette laughs and kisses him quickly.  “Let me go grab my purse and we can go. You,” she adds, turning to Dingo. “Try not to make a bigger mess.”

The rules: The group picks a prompt. Members choosing to participate will write for that prompt in up to three 15 minute sprints. No writing outside the sprints until you have completed all three! After the 3 sprints are complete, you have 24 hours to edit (which can include some new writing to smooth transitions, etc). After those 24 hours, post what you’ve got, either just to the disco or publicly if you like.

Feel free to try it too!

Ghosts for the fandom ask as well! 👀

The first character I ever fell in love with: Thomas Thorne. “Ah, she’s gone” remains one hell of a delightful line delivery. And his following melodrama was just amazing to sit through. I love dramatic™ bitches.

A character that I used to love/like, but now do not: I... honestly don’t know? Like, I generally like every character in this series and that’s not particularly a small feat. I suppose if I had to choose... the Captain or Mike, and only because I’ve come to realize their later more self-centered/forcible moments were there from the get-go, from the Captain’s complaining about Fanny’s screaming and Mike taking out a loan without talking about it with Alison while she was in a coma, not necessarily because I dislike them.

A ship that I used to love/like, but now do not: Ummm, none! I generally agree with the ships in this series. 

My ultimate favorite character™: Thomas Thorne, he usually guarantees a laugh with any line reading, he looks good, he usually holds back before his crush on Alison gets too creepy, The Thomas Thorne Affair and Free Pass helps explain his more romantic tendencies and the former genuinely floored me with some of its twists and that last revelation broke my damn heart. Poor Isabelle and Thomas. They lost so much because the first Lord Button was a selfish arse. And I adore that Thomas was the first one who sung along In the Bleak Midwinter with Alison. I hope all the best for him.

Prettiest character: Kitty or Thomas. Kitty’s more my type, and I love her dress, but Thomas has those floofy locks to die for.

My most hated character: FUCK LORD BUTTON THE FIRST WITH A MUSKET BALL. That being said, I don’t come out of the Christmas Special respecting Mike’s sisters. And, depending on how Kitty’s backstory goes, her sister’s set to replace Lord Button the First. Honestly, I feel like I come out of this series hating cousins and sisters.

My OTP: Mike/Alison. Aside from some hiccups, Mike’s genuinely supportive and follows Alison’s lead and Alison grounds Mike’s eccentrics or flights of fear. They’re not friction-less, but they feel lived-in, have little jokes with each other, and are a couple who love each other and work through their problems.

My NOTP: Yeah, still none.

Favorite episode: Man, there’s a spoil of riches in Season 2 alone, but I keep revisiting Happy Death Day, Getting Out, About Last Night, Redding Weddy, The Thomas Thorne Affair, and Bump in the Night. If I had to narrow it down... The Thomas Thorne Affair, Bump in the Night or The Ghost of Christmas all vie for favorite.

The Thomas Thorne Affair is the best flashback episode Ghosts got, given it’s got a ton of narrative room to breathe around the death in question (I love Redding Weddy, but I wanted more scenes between the Captain and Lieutenant Havers), allowing for multiple perspectives to see the death, and I love how many holes get plugged up by POVs like Kitty’s or get misdirected off-track like Robin’s or get made into a more interesting imaginary scenario like the Captain’s (real talk, his take never fails to make me laugh, bless you, Captain). It’s all hilarious (that bird getting shot by Thomas’ gun as he falls is my second-guiltiest laugh of the series) but it also speaks to a very real idea of our memories: that we edit, we revise, we look back with nostalgia or clean up the messier bits. Add in the twists and the Mike subplot and it all adds up to a tragic tale whose theme is about how another man’s utter selfishness is capable of destroying a relationship between two lovers through violence, either directly or by proxy. It’s delightfully hilarious, but it hits so hard and Thomas’ words about the truth making it all worse twists my heart.

I feel Bump in the Night is the funniest episode Ghosts’ got. It’s not particularly serious, there are no real stakes, given one of the burglars is terrible at theft, it’s just a bunch of total morons fumbling through a breaking-and-entering and it’s amazing. Fanny complaining that the burglars are terrible at theft, the Ghosts calling for 999, only to not think through how to communicate, them trying to communicate with Mike via a creepy doll’s eyelids, Alison immediately realizing Mike’s in the wardrobe, Julian writing “2 of them” instead of 2 like a non-dumbass, MIKE IN THE SUIT OF ARMOR, it’s all amazingly funny, but at the same time, it’s all underlined by the emotional truth that Alison, Mike, and the Ghosts have come far enough that the Ghosts are willing to help them out because they like them, instead of scaring them off or causing problems like in Season 1. Alison verbalizes it, but the more touching scene is how she thanks Robin, the Ghost that first scared her because he had nothing better to do, for getting Barclay to help them and he just nods humbly back. This episode is full of idiots, but it’s got a decent amount of heart in it that gives it weight beyond the laughs.

The Ghost of Christmas probably has one of my favorite theses on why we endure the holidays with our families, despite it never being as magical as can be. There’s stuff to nitpick like how I don’t like how Mike’s sisters delight in Mike throwing a fit, going so far to film it, and some of Julian’s scenes with the baby run a bit long for my taste, but I really do like Julian’s summation of Christmas: that it’s perfect because it’s not perfect and that we should be grateful of any time we spend with family, because it will all go away someday, as the ghosts can testify. We take the good with the bad. There are some delightful humor bits like the Ghosts needling the Captain and Thomas to join in on Twister, Fanny looking up at the tall tree from the seeds they planted, Mike’s dad having a chainsaw, and Julian waving off his daughter being a MP of the Green Party (screw you, Julian, she rules because of that), but there’s also the theme of family in the emotional scene. When Mike’s dad tells him they’re overbearing because someday they won’t get to do things for him, there’s a heartwarming irony that, even past death, the Ghosts are there for Alison, their newest family member. This episode made me realize just how... barren Alison’s biological family connections are from the first episode’s mentioning that there were no other direct relatives. And In the Bleak Midwinter is a gorgeous song that cuts as a certain truth: just because others can’t see your family doesn’t make them any less real to you. 

Saddest death: Thomas dying all alone at the tree, no one living by his side, feeling the sting of being rejected one final time at the end because his cousin was a selfish arse who capitalized on a woman he didn’t love for her estate? God, this bears repeating, but fuck Lord Button the First.

Favorite season: Oh, definitely Season 2. I love Season 1, but I’m not a huge fan of second-hand embarrassment and seeing Alison get embarrassed by her reacting to ghosts that others can’t see made me wince quite a few times. I much prefer Season 2′s handling of Alison and the Ghosts and how they work.

Least favorite season: Season 1. I don’t take to the more second-hand embarrassment humor of that season, but I do love every episode except Free Pass. It’s still a great season with episodes like Happy Death Day, Moonah Ston, and Getting Out. Special mention to Happy Death Day, which was the first time I realized Ghosts could balance the comedy and the darkness with sincere emotion without them undercutting each other at the wrong time.

Character that everyone else in the fandom loves, but i hate: Now? Not really. In the first season though, I sometimes found Kitty a little too grating, possessive, and intrusive. Not that I don’t get where she’s coming from, her childhood sounds lonely and painful in ways she doesn’t fully comprehend and ghosthood hasn’t exactly made her any less lonely in some ways, most times I understand, but sometimes, like at the start of Getting Out where I feel she really should pump the brakes. 

That being said, her backstory’s gonna break me. I just know it.

My ‘you’re piece of trash, but you’re still a fave’ fave: Fanny or the Captain. They really can be abrasive or domineering in that first season, the Captain steamrolling over Pat from time to time and Lady Fanny’s nitpicking and homophobia, but I do get why they are that way and they do get better.

My ‘beautiful cinnamon roll who deserves better than this’ fave: Kitty, who deserves all the blankets for that childhood. Mary, who likely has a mental illness and got burnt because of that. Humphrey, who doesn’t deserve being ignored by the Ghosts.

My ‘this ship is wrong, nasty, and makes me want to cleanse my soul, but i still love it’ ship: Thomas/Alison. Thomas, sometimes, your behavior can get a little too much regarding Alison. That first (thankfully only) peep at her in the shower, I know you’ve been frustrated for years as a Ghost, but noooooooo. That being said, when Thomas respects her boundaries and is a supportive friend (have I mentioned how touching In the Bleak Midwinter is?), I dig them.

My ‘they’re kind of cute, and i lowkey ship them, but i’m not too invested’ ship: Pat/Cap. Not that I don’t get it, and it promises heartwarming feels and heartbreak (Pat moving on after they hook up and Captain having to watch another leave him again, but this time, Captain got to admit his feelings before the leaving) and they are rather adorable together, but I’m more waiting for the narrative to acknowledge the possibility before launching myself into the ship full-time.

The Re-Animator: Welcoming Dr. Herbert West!

V: Al-right. This was a long time coming, and I’ve been EVER so excited to showcase this maniac. Let’s start this show, shall we?

(Spoilers ahead for the Re-Animator Trilogy:  “Re-Animator”, “Bride of Re-Animator” & “Beyond Re-Animator”)

V: Alright, alright. I’ll start with what I didn’t like. Obviously those of you who’ve seen it know about the absolutely fucking idiotic women - oh yeah. Absolute dumbasses. I did not like Meg - I’m very sorry to those who do. I don’t fault you, but she just rubbed me the wrong way. SPEAKING OF, that brings forth the topic of DOCTOR HILL???? Disgusting. The morgue scene with him and Meg made both Jess and I cringe out of our skins. Good villain, though I don’t like what he does. But hey, you’re technically not SUPPOSED to like the villain anyway.

But what I loved, absoLUTELY loved. Jeffrey Combs. His acting, his voice, his stature. I’d never read the Re-Animator series, but I loved this portrayal. He comes off as so terrifying when you hear about him, and then watching the film?? He’s so CUTE!! The way he looks at Dan, the little changes in expression when he’s done something wrong, those BIG ASS GLASSES!!!! The teary-eyed look of horror as Hill threatens him!? And the way he speaks and moves, he’s an incredible actor. I’m surprised this is my first time really knowing him! Either way, I’m looking forward to watching more of his work. Herbert is a blessing - this little gay doctor boy just wants to do his work. Believe in him.

J: Yes--

V: Bride was ALSO fantastic - Dan started to really piss me off, though. It was so clear that Herbert REALLY liked him, and that hurt, man. Gloria - the Bride - GOD she was GORGEOUS. I’m so sad that Dan freakin made her so sad she died. She was absolutely beautiful and she could TALK?? Stunning. A queen. I would’ve married her since Dan didn’t wanna--

J: You’d what--

V: And finally - Beyond. At this point I am so fed up with Dan. They would’ve been such couple goals IF DAN ACTUALLY CARED BACK anD STOPpED ChaSING puSS!!!! Herbert deserves better. We’re gonna give him better, but that comes later. Anyway! Older Herbert is very attractive - he aged well. This also was the first movie we SEE him WALK AWAY FROM, and THAT made me SO happy. He deserved that. Go Herbie!!

J: … You, summed it up so well I’m not sure what to add, haha! I also loved the series, and darling Doctor Lovebug. I’ve watched the first movie at least four times in the last few weeks, so it’s safe to say it’s one of my favorites, but I can’t really pin why? 9/10, points deducted for himbo Dan, annoying ladies and gross Doctor Hill. All 9 points go to Herbie.

(EDIT)

V: Jess and I also revisited the first movie for the Director’s Cut. As of right now, I’ve only seen a handful of scenes - Jess says it literally adds so much plot and explanation that was totally lost in the Final Cut. It also added in Herbert’s reagent addiction, which I’d heard he had in the novel? (personally I like it because I adore angst and being fucking depressed but y’know-). 

J: We see that Dan had an actual relationship with the Dean and we see why Halsey suddenly became so hostile toward him. The cut not only adds substance, though: it practically changes every character’s personality except for Hill. Herbert comes across as a lot more deranged, unhinged, and full of himself. Dan shows genuine passion for their project, passion for Meg, and isn’t just a himbo with panic attacks. Even Meg glowed up! Without seeing her and Dan fight about the work, her hostility made no sense, just like the Dean’s. She goes from being all over Dan to slapping and hitting him! However, the extra scenes made the movie drag A LOT. With so much substance in Dan’s story, it felt like him and Meg were the main characters, where the final cut felt much more centered around Herbert. So there were benefits, and there were drawbacks (big drawbacks. Like a tear I will not speak of.)  I think we’re gonna stick to the final cut for what we consider canon. 

And that’s our review! So let’s all welcome the oh-so-lovable genius that is Herbert West to the Slasher Party!

The man adjusts his glasses, offering a smile as he tucks his invite back into his suit jacket. “Hello, miss Jess. Miss Vana. It’s nice to meet you both. And… the rest of you.” He nods in acknowledgement. “I hope that I can finally have a space to do my work in peace.”

[louiserandom]

The MadaTobi adventure has been chosen...

AND IT’S SOULMATES EXCAHNGING POWERS WOOOHOOOO (purple and green are the same option i just edited the form like a dumbass)

However, I’ve come to the inevitable conclusion THAT I WANNA WRITE ALL THESE FREAKIN PROMPTS or at least a couple more, so after this CYOA ends, I might just tackle the rest :D Thank you ALL so much for voting! I seriously didn’t expect this much feedback and I’ll do my best to deliver :3 *sends you all hugs, positivity and rays of sunshine during these trying times and hopes that each one of you is safe* Hopefully the story will provide some fun and distraction from the grim anxiety <3

Now, I couldn’t resist writing the first part before Camp Nano started so I’ll be posting the chapter a bit later today once I’m all done with work stuff :3 And as always, a few more notes on the rest of the survey questions~ 

Thank you for enabling my thotty side. Again ehehehehe

AND OH LOOK AT THESE VOTES FOR THE ADDITIONAL PROMPTS EH

+ Virgin Tobirama knows everything about sex; semi-feral tobirama who spends too much time with his summons; Hate to Love; A+ banter, maybe 1 combined w/ secret relationship; shameless Izuna - oh, 3 of these are definitely gonna be in the story ;)

Now, fair warning: it will be long because my brain made me add this huge plot and Zetsu’s fuckery to the mix which will result in his gruesome elimination from existence sorry for spoilers lmao and because I’m hopeless, expect some bijuu shenanigans as well👀👀👀 Granted, some of the plot points and tropes are going to be revealed in the story; like, Tobirama’s obliviousness level and the exact level of Hashirama’s over-protectiveness will depend on your choices :3 Hope y’all have fun with me!

And below the cut, comment responses <3 I’ve had to group some because I’ve got so little time right now but will hopefully be able to answer every question separately as time goes. Again, THANK YOU all for voting!!!

I would really like both options two and four, any chance? This all sounds incredible I am super excited thank you!

The third option also sounds good

I like Plot II and III too actually as well

I wish I could pick all of the story options ;)

I love your work and am so excited for this! I had so much trouble choosing answers in the poll because everything sounds so good!

Chose option I but strongly hesitated with option II cause it could be so funny.

All of these plots sound so awesome!!! It was super hard to pick one.

Argh! Why is choosing so hard? I want at least one of every option in every combination imaginable. That said, I chose plot 2 for the hilarious potential of put upon Tobirama with a sharingan but plot 1 was a very close contestant. I can't wait to see what you cook up. It's gonna be so great! - oz

DUDES ALL YOUR COMMENTS AND MY OWN EXCITEMENT ABOUT THESE PROMPTS MADE ME WANNA WRITE THEM ALL, FUCK IT!!! I definitely want option 4, it’s peak hilarity, tho I wonder if it would work more as a story proper, not a CYOA (I can think of a few interesting conflicts and choices in that verse tho, so we’ll see). But I do love option 1 as well; option 3 may be a little overdone? But basically, just lemme finish this one, try my best to deliver and then put the rest of the plots to another vote <3

I LOVE YOU ALL SO MUCH AND THANK YOU, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR SUPPORT!!!

p.s. Oz, you’re as always too kind <3

It would be funny if Tobirama was hilariously confident and actually decent at flirting with a flailing Madara but was actually a virgin. Like just completely and utterly shamelessly saying something like, 'yh I'm a virgin so you better make this good. I've got a lot to learn ;)' And of course Madara flails :D

THANK YOU. YES. THIS XD (Tobi would, wouldn’t he. And he very likely will, in this fic ;)

He is the dumbest Bitch alive with Tobi and Hashi running for second place. Bitch should have gotten some Senju dick to calm tf down.

No comments, only applause. You know what’s up

The fandom thanks you for doing God's work ;)

My insecure ass thanks you for your kind words <3

Hurt Tobi to show how protective Madara can be

Bold of you to assume I won’t hurt both of them and have them build each other back up again (lmao ignore my dramatic ass, as I said, nothing but light angst haha. But still some pain because plot said so :o)

Both being stupidly weak when it comes to kids

YEPPPPP YOU’RE READING MY MIND :D CAN’T WAIT TO WRITE THOSE SCENES

CLEARLY. Hashirama, Mito, Touka, and Izuna should all be one giant poly pile. 👀 Also it was impossible for me not to pick the option with Kurama. I love that grumpy asshole fox and I have... So many... Headcanons for him.....

HashiMitoTouIzu poly pile *stares* this... this.... MAYBE NOT IN THIS FIC BUT I WOULD LIKE TO TACKLE THIS IDEA AT SOME POINT LMAO THAT WOULD BE AWESOME :D (will maybe try to write a fic with them for camp nano ehehe)

Also, although ultimately, option 2 was chosen…. I couldn’t resist and added the possibility of Kurama appearing, I love his grumpy ass too much :D (Altho this will depend on the votes👀)

Maybe a child, adopted (kagami) or mpreg

Hmmm, no mpreg, just in this particular fic, but lots of interactions with children ;)

Wasn't he already? ://

ALWAYS

Madara is clearly the dumbest (Hashi is a close second)

YOU SPEAK THE TRUTH DEAR READER, I’M GLAD YOU SEE THE LIGHT

(Personally, I think Hashirama is the dumbest founder lol) But could you maybe make Tobirama and Izuna actually get along? They don’t have to be friends but just no active animosity. Maybe. You obviously don’t have to— would probably love it either way— but ‘tis my request

I may have to write that thesis about Madara’s dumbassery after all lol, be sure that I will convince you

And oh yeah, they definitely get along, don’t worry! Writing Tobirama and Izuna’s friendship warms my heart :3

I love flaily Mads and oblivious Tobes

WHO DOESN’T :D

Madara is not dumb, just a dumbass ^^ Also, bringing in Tobi's sensing is always a YES from me!

Nooooo HE DUMB AND A DUMBASS HOW BOUT THAT XD ehehe oh there’s gonna be a lot of sensing fuckery in the chosen option so I hope you enjoy! :3

At some point please let Mito and Tobirama befriend Kurama 'cause they're all powerful sassy bitches that will bitch slap you into your place and they all put the ultimate smack down on meddling Elders who've teamed up with Zetsu?

Although option 2 has been chosen… Kurama may appear in the story *shifty eyes* AND mf Zetsu lmao I need to kill that bitch. He’ll know pain^-^

Hashirama should be a smiling sociopath a la Symbol of Subjugation style. He knows there's something wrong but, hey, he wants to see his precious all happy :)

Oh, I considered that actually, I adore that fic! But imo it works better with a couple of other plots so I may consider writing him that way for a future CYOA :3 

I can already tell that this is gonna be one hell of a ride and I can’t wait!

Hell yeah go forth you funky lil author, you got this :D

Na

Nope nope I have non good luck

Luv ya <3

AHHHHHH YESSS I AM READY

Have fun

Thank you so much guys! <3 I’M EXCITED AS FUCK AND I CANNOT WAIT TO START :D

#THANK YOU ALL FOR VOTING!!! #madatobi #choose your own adventure #fic #lou writes #camp nano april 2020

Rayllum Playlist Breakdown

Eric’s Rayllum Playlist

I used to have this kinda odd hobby of assigning theme songs for characters and ships. It just sorta happens. I listen to one of my favorite songs and a character (or ship) just pops into mind and that becomes their song. That all changed when I moved from Amazon Music to Spotify and started making playlists for ships. Hell, I make playlists for almost everything. The Rayllum playlist I made is my most popular one. Hell, it’s my only popular one. That I aside, I thought it’d be cool to do kinda a breakdown and explain why I picked each song that I did. 

DISCLAIMER: We all have our own personal preference when it comes to music. If you’re wondering why I didn’t put X song, it’s probably because 1) I’ve never heard of it or 2) I don’t like that one. I really do have to explain to people on the internet that my personal opinion is NOT a personal attack on you. With that out of the way, let’s get started.

Eric’s Rayllum Playlist

Preferred Play: Shuffle

“Rayla (Moonlight Guide My Way)” by Small Folk

“Vanilla Twilight” by Owl City

“Rewrite the Stars” by Zac Efron & Zendaya from The Greatest Showman Soundtrack

“I Could Fall in Love” by Selena

“Beautiful With You” by Halestorm

“Emotion Swell” by Eyeshine

“Can You Feel The Love Tonight” by Stellar Kart

“Dream Come True” by Casey Lee Williams, Jeff Williams from RWBY Volume 1 Soundtrack

“Invisible” by Linkin Park

“Stratosphere” by Eyeshine

“Because She’s Rayla” by Frederik Wiedmann from The Dragon Prince: Season Three Soundtrack

“By Your Side” by Beachwood Sparks

Breakdown after the cut

1. “Rayla (Moonlight Guide My Way)” by Small Folk - I discovered this song by accident on Spotify and for some reason I’m the only one that got really excited about it. A band wrote a song about/for Rayla. Isn’t that so freaking cool? The song itself is an acoustic song that very nice and well sung. This is literally a Rayla song, so I had to put it on. I even put it on first.

2. “Vanilla Twilight” by Owl City - I know everybody likes “Fireflies” but it’s not my favorite. The music sounds nice, but the lyrics just confuse me. “Vanilla Twilight” on the other hand, as I’ve told others, sounds like Callum writing a love letter to Rayla. Or at least that’s the scenario that pops into my head whenever I hear it. It’s a nice poppy, kinda electronic song that’s easy to listen to. When I told other people about it, they pointed out two lyrics that my dumbass missed. The first one was

The silence isn't so bad 'Til I look at my hands and feel sad 'Cause the spaces between my fingers Are right where yours fit perfectly

Remind you of something? The other one I had to listen again to catch it.

I'll think of you tonight When violet eyes get brighter And heavy wings grow lighter I'll taste the sky and feel alive again

The violet eyes part I should have caught, but In my defense, the whole wings bit wasn’t applicable until the season three finale. See what I mean? That’s why I think this song is Callum’s love letter to Rayla.

3. “Rewrite the Stars” by Zac Efron & Zendaya from The Greatest Showman Soundtrack - I love this movie and the soundtrack, but I didn’t like how everyone tried to connect this song to their favorite ship. There’s a very specific scenario here. I was so confused when people wanted me to add this to my Starco playlist of all things. 

This song however does apply to Rayllum. Callum and Rayla aren’t supposed to be together for obvious reasons, but they do anyways. Besides doesn’t it remind you of

4. “I Could Fall in Love” by Selena - This is my pining!Rayla song. I tried to get other Rayllum shippers on board, but they didn’t seem interested. To be fair, it is an old song (1995). The song is about one of those “If I fall in love, I’ll never recover,” sorta deals. The protagonist is afraid of the very real possibility of falling in love with this person and all that it entails. She feels her only other option is to just never let the other person know how she feels. Reminds me of a moonshadow elf joke people are spreading on reddit.

5. “Beautiful With You” by Halestorm - This is another Rayla focused song. The song is about how the protagonist doesn’t feel like she’s all that special and she feels beautiful when her s/o is with her. I think this plays into all the times Rayla blames herself for things that happen on their journey but Callum makes her feel like she’s the best person in the world.

6. “Emotion Swell” by Eyeshine - Finally a Callum focused song. I love Eyeshine, but it seems I’m the only one. This nice acoustic song reminds me of when Callum was learning the sky arcanum. The chorus does have the line, “Breathe in, breathe out.” I just really wanted to get some Eyeshine in there.

7. “Can You Feel The Love Tonight” by Stellar Kart - Yup. This is a cover of the song from The Lion King. It’s a pop punk cover because I love pop punk, but it’s a really good cover. I put this song on every ship playlist where I believe that the couple could inspire others, mostly because of the lyric

It's enough to make kings and vagabonds Believe the very best

8.  “Dream Come True” by Casey Lee Williams, Jeff Williams from RWBY Volume 1 Soundtrack - Let me preface by saying I hate RWBY. I don’t like the show, and I fucking hate their fandom. But I adore the music. This song I usually put in ship playlists when there is a third person involved whether it be in a love triangle or pseudo-love triangle. In this case it was Claudia. So it’s like Rayla telling Callum he shouldn’t be focused on Claudia and instead focus on her.

9. “Invisible” by Linkin Park - This song is Callum centric, but it could go both ways. The song is kind of like an apology. The song describes how an issue is complicated and there are no clear answers but still apologizes for their behavior. It reminds me how Callum hurt Rayla’s feeling back in season one but I guess you could pick any moment where they fight. 

10. “Stratosphere” by Eyeshine - Another Eyeshine song because I really like Eyeshine and I like this song to. This song is supposed to show how Callum and Rayla want a better world where everyone can live peacefully.

11. “Because She’s Rayla” by Frederik Wiedmann from The Dragon Prince: Season Three Soundtrack - I’m going to be honest, I legit did not know that the score was on Spotify. I just found out like three days ago. 

12. “By Your Side” by Beachwood Sparks - I love this song. It’s a sweet slow dance kinda song about how you’ll never leave each others side and stay with them through the hard stuff. I put this in almost every ship playlist because I think it should apply to that ship. It’d be sad if it didn’t. 

That’s all the songs I have so far. I might add or edit the playlist as time goes on, but that’s it for now. Let me know if I should breakdown one of my other playlists or maybe I’ll try to make a playlist for another ship or character.

Thanks for reading.

Happy (Mun)day! I love the way that you portray Max and Auggie; they’re a very fascinating pair with a lot of depth to them, and you give them qualities and tics that make both brother and sister beautifully realistic. Do you ever find yourself struggling to write our their shared and separate traits and mannerisms? Or are they something that comes like second nature?

HAPPY (MUN) DAY TO YOU, TOO! 

Thank you so much for the compliment <3 I am practically blushing and grinning like an idiot now! It means a whole hecking lot, especially coming from such a talented writer <3 

As far as the question goes; At the beginning it was really challenging to play the two characters at the same time. I found their personalities started to blend together and it was hard to distinguish Max’s voice from Auggie’s in my head. They’ve gone through a lot of iterations and the one we see today is like the fifth one or so. Initially Augustine was a lot younger than Max and Alchemy wasn’t even part of the equation. Gradually I whittled it down and edited a few details here and there to the versions we see today. 

I ran into a lot of pit falls when developing these two, one of which was making Auggie a “side-piece.” He never had a lot to say and usually fell into the overly naviee but adorable baby brother trope. It was more of a hassle to add him in scenes and I realized it was because he didn’t add anything to the story- aside from, you know, existing? I could’ve placed anyone in his role and the story’s dynamic wouldn’t change, if there ever was a coherent story. I almost scraped him entirely but then came the stark realization that MAX had no character without Augustine. I’d made both of them a cliche, and that needed to be remedied. Back to the drawing board I went. 

Augustine actually came easier to me than Max. He’s a more open and optimistic character. He wears his emotions on his sleeve and its only recently that he’s learned to keep things to himself. His character and desires started to come into focus, but Max was a different story. She’s an odd blend; half well-read intellect, other half complete dumbass. There was layers to Max I had to peel back which was difficult, especially when Augustine was in the mix. He’s a brighter character and tends to outshine Max in casual occurrences. The best solution for that was to put Augustine to the side and really focus in on Max. 

The hardest part about writing them in tandem is keeping in mind that their actions affect not only them as individuals, but them as a duo. Max’s mystique worries Augustine, and Auggie’s good-lucky nature elicits concern on Max’s part. You’ve gotta always be mindful of the ripples they have on each other; it’s cause and effect but on steroids. Essentially, it’s being two people at once. A lot of flipping back and forth. 

The only thing I’ve got going for me as far as “second nature” is that anything I write I imagine in my mind like a movie. I’m a third person observer and I let the scenes play out, editing and fine-tuning details like a director before fervently trying to recreate what I’ve seen into words. Am I successful at it? Meh. There’s a lot I have to learn. 

But am I having fun? 

Oh, hell yeah. These two are by far some of my favorite muses to play. 

TLDR: There’s a lot of thought put into these two and it makes me so happy when that effort’s realized! I hope everyone gets the same kick out of these two as I do :) 

Thanks again @godshands for the ask! It was fun to share the process with everyone

⧾ ⊹ * ♦︎╰ LIRENA’S WEEKEND GETAWAY ! PT. 1 ╯

As they get to the harbor, Luca's eyes widen at the sight of the majestic yacht. "You mean to tell me that you used your status to get this for us?" he chuckles as he adjusts his backpack on his shoulder. "Amazing. Amazing use of privilege," he teases.(edited)

with a large duffle back slung over her slender frame, sirena was beyond excited to finally hop aboard the yacht that would be their new home for the weekend. "nice, isn't it? look at all the places we'll be able to test drive this weekend," she teases with a playful wink before nodding for the boy to follow. they were greeted by the captain who would be driving the boat, as well as a couple of servers who would be prepping all their meals. they handed both the couple some champagne before scattering to their places. "i usually don't like to flaunt my status, but this is pretty fucking cool," she laughs before taking a sip of her champagne.

"i love how you make everything sound dirty," luca laughs and nudges her arm before following her into the yacht. He's amazed by everything that surrounds him, it's a true beauty, the boat. He thanks the person who hands them champagne, "i'd never been on a yacht," he says, looking around and dropping his backpack on a nearby lounge chair. "Cheers, to us," luca smiles and raises his glasses, only to find Sirena drinking. "Oh, you're already- never mind," he chuckles and takes a sip from the champagne. He's not a big champagne drinker, but this is a special occasion, and he'll make sure to make the most of it.

"isn't that my job?" she teases before stealing a kiss from his cheek. setting her own bag down next to luca's, she's walking toward the front of the boat, already loving the view of the ocean, even if they haven't even left the port yet. she was distracted, mainly because she prayed that this weekend would truly help her feel normal again. help her forget all the drama back on shore, and let her be happy with luca again. "hm? oh, sorry, babe," she chuckles softly before holding out her glass to clink with his anyways. one arm goes to wrap around him, her eyes gazing up at him with a warm smile, "never? it's a lot of fun. i don't think i've ever been on one this fancy, but i've been to a few after parties on one. should we go explore?"

"no, you're job is to be the talented frontwoman of something strange. this is just a bonus," he smiles when she kisses his cheek. Walking behind Sirena, he decides he loves the view of the ocean. if he could, he would live on the beach with an ocean view. Luca chuckles and clinks his glass with her, this is good, this feels good. He wants so desperately to lose himself in this weekend with his girlfriend, not worrying about the not-so-distant past. He wraps an arms around her shoulders when he feels hers around his body, he smiles down at her. "what kind of parties? like promotional stuff and all?" he asks, curious. "Yes! Let's go explore," Luca says with excitement and he's already pulling Sirena to the left, going around the inside of the boat and getting to the back part. There are lounging chairs and a bar and he feels like a king. "I still can't believe this is all for just the two of us"

she's been called talented before, yet hearing it from luca always made her heart flutter. his words and views about her mattered more than maybe they should, but she figured that's what loves makes you do. "yeah, after a few of our concerts there's been some after parties and what not. never hurts to show up and get to know some big time people, you know? although i think i was on one in senior year cause one of the richest guys in the school through his birthday party on one. that was a wild time," she laughs at the memory. she drinks most of her champagne before setting the glass down and following luca's lead. she doesn't hesitate to jump upon the long sofa that's beside the bar and stretch her body out, "honestly, i think i could sleep on this couch. imagine gazing up at the stars at night on here? it's gonna be beautiful."

"Who have you met?" Luca asks. He laughs at the story of the yacht back in senior year. He probably was invited, too. But that was the time he wasn't really thinking about partying, he missed all the good ones, and the bad ones, too. Maybe he was too depressed to go out or too numb from all the weed he started smoking that year. He drinks about half the glass and sets it down next to Sirena's. Luca smiles at her as she jumps on the sofa. He thinks she's utterly adorable, and sexy at the same time. How did he get so lucky? He loves her so much. "That sounds so pretty," he agrees as he takes his tobacco out of the pocket of his pants. He pushes his hair back with a hand and then starts rolling a cigarette. "Do you think we could go up to the captain and ask for a lesson? I'd love to be able to drive this, it would be so fun"

"just some producers, models, though i think we did run into dua lipa at one point and she's honestly such a gem," sirena muses as she tries to remember the people she's bumped into. she closes her eyes for a moment to let the sweet sea breeze calm herself while listening to luca's question, "i definitely don't see why not," she answers before finally sitting up and looking over the couch in his direction. "doesn't hurt to ask, right? maybe once we get further out to sea, that way we don't reck the poor guys boat in case we mess up," she teases with a playful wink.

"really? that's cool. she's so good, i have her first record and it's honestly brilliantly produced and mixed," he says with a smile as he finishes rolling. He pops the cigarette in his mouth and shields the wind with a hand and with the other he lights it. Exhaling the smoke, he smiles at Sirena. "suddenly we sink it," he jokes with a chuckle. Luca looks over at the sea and he's a little startled when someone there's a voice on the speakers, it's the captain saying they're about to sail in fifteen minutes. "You think I'd look sexy in a captain's uniform?" he smirks

"her music is always the best to jam out to, honestly. i literally put don't stop now on repeat for weeks when that song came out," she notes before singing a few of the lyrics. soon she's laughing at his words, happy to go along with the idea of them doing such a horrible thing, "and here i thought if i ever got stranded at sea, it would be because of nikki's dumbass, but i guess it would be a good test of our relationship to see how we work together under such pressure, right?" she takes note of them sailing in fifteen minutes, suddenly getting more excited to finally get away from the land. "oh fuck yes," she quickly comments with a nod. "something about men in uniforms is just always a good choice. why, do you wanna do some roleplaying?" she teases with a quick wink.

"same!" luca exclaims with a grin. It's amazing how much they have in common. he never worries about running out of things to say because he just feels so comfortable with her. and he doesn't worry too much about saying the wrong thing, either. "oh we're definitely getting killed if nikki is ever at sea with us. no doubt," he chuckles. "not to be a disastrous pessimist, but i would probably panic and run around like timmy turner in that one episode of the fairy godparents where he's like," he catches the cigarette between his teeth and starts running in circles while trying to yell but only making a choked sound. "You know that one?" he laughs when he stops and exhales the smoke. "i don't know," luca smirks as he sees the ashes fly away with the wind. "what are you dressing up as?"

"it would make for a great story though," sirena adds with a light laugh. "could you imagine the whole s club getting stranded on an island together? i'm pretty sure only ali would make it out alive with how calm and collected he always is." she watches the boy try to explain himself, and even though she had no idea what he was doing, she still couldn't stop herself from dying of laughter. "i have no idea what episode that is, but i'm going to take your word for it." she thinks for a moment as to what she wants to dress up as, "a maid is too common and plain jane. maybe i could wear some cute, sexy sailor outfit. i could be your right hand gal," she smiles flirtatiously.

"that would be hysterical" luca laughs and shakes his head. "Ali would definitely make it out alive, probably Stassi would have a helicopter pick her up and me and shanley would definitely die first, no doubt about that," he laughs. "Then it's clover, then nikki, then arlo, then you," he grins as he teases. "I can't remember what episode it was  either, but i have a very clear memory of that scene." There's a bin on other side of the deck, he goes there to toss the burnt joint. Quickly, he walks back to sirena and sits next to her, resting an arm on the back of the sofa. "Ooh a sailor? I like that" he smiles and nibbles on her earlobe. "Are you gonna wear a really short skirt for me?" He whispers against her ear.

"an even better question though, who do you think would die first in a horror movie? i still feel ali would live till the squeal, but couples who always have the most sex always go out super early so we're not looking so good," she teases. watching him walk up to her, she smiles because her hands immediately reach out to grab any part of him she can. it's like she couldn't stand not touching him in some way, shape or form when they were together. whether it was holding hands, or stealing sweet kisses, she just craved his physical touch. a giggle escapes her lips when he's nibbling on his ear, but soon she's moving to straddle his lap and lay her arms around his neck. "the shortest skirt possible," she whispers softly before stealing a gentle and teasing kiss from his lips. "and a tight little shirt, that barely covers my tits," she continues, this time kissing his jawline. "one wrong move, and i be they'll just burst out for your viewing pleasure," she speaks once more, this time leaving a much longer kiss upon his neck.

"if we get murdered having sex... I mean, that's a pretty dope way to leave this world" he laughs. Luca likes it when she touches him, it feels familiar and yet like a discovery. He bites down on his lip once she's straddling him. Her weight on him feels right, the sunshine hitting her face perfectly. He rests his hands on her ass and smiles at her, touching his nose with hers. Soon she's kissing him and he thinks about how wonderful the next couple of days will be. Just laying around naked everywhere and having as much sex as possible.   "Okay, we're definitely getting that as soon as we get back," he grins and kisses her once again. The captain makes another announcement that they're leaving the harbor and the yacht starts to move. "Wow" luca smiles as he looks over to the side, water glistening under the sun. "So cool."

she laughs, "we would die by having sex, huh? i think it's the most fitting way to go." thank goodness luca had just as much of a high sex drive as she did. who knew being in love would actually cause her to crave him more than she already did. every day she wanted the opportunity to show him just how much she loved him through their physical touches. from the way she kisses him, to the sounds she makes when he touches her, all of it was additive and she lived for every moment of it. soon the boat is moving, and her gaze shifts to the moving water beside them. "let's get a better look," she smiles, soon hoping off his lap and taking his hand to pull him toward the front of the boat, the wind running through their hair as they took in the gorgeous view.

"agreed" he smiles sweetly at her. He might be rough in the bedroom but he's an actual softie when it comes to sirena and their time together. He loves making her laugh, making her blush, making her roll her eyes at him, and bite her lower lip. Every day is an adventure with her. "Alright" he lets her drag him to the front of the boat, the sun shining above them in all it's glory. The sea is majestic in front of their eyes. Luca's stomach growls and he facepalms himself, "i guess breakfast wasn't enough, hmm? What do you think they have to eat her"

it truly was a beautiful sight to behold. just the two of them, holding onto each other and enjoying the sea breeze as they sailed out further into the beautiful blue ocean. if she was allowed to do so, she'd live here forever. they could travel the world this way, playing music, making songs for each other, and making love till the sun came back up. before she could voice such a thing, luca is asking about a second breakfast and she can't help but shake her head in a teasing manor, "i bet they have something in the kitchen for your bottomless pit of a stomach." she pokes his stomach before heading down to the kitchen to see what they had. "what sounds good to you, handsome?"

Luca laughs, a little embarrassed. But he's a 6'4 giant, what did she expect? Of course he's hungry. He follows her down and he admires the architecture of the boat, it's beautiful inside and out. Not to compare her to a boat, but he feels the same about Sirena. He loves her heart, her mind, her soul, her whole body. As they get to the kitchen, he thinks for a second, "idk what is there to eat?" He looks around and finds a table with all sorts of fruits and waffles. "Oh! Oh!" Luca nudges sirena's shoulder to bring her attention to the food.

"from what i've been told from the captain, the kitchen is fully stocked with all kinds of stuff," she answers while looking around. though it seems the servers were way ahead of them and had some breakfast items set up for them to enjoy. "oh my god, they have fresh strawberries!" she quickly grabs one and takes a bit, the taste so juicy and sweet, she could eat them all in one setting if she wasn't careful. "you want anything on your waffles? chocolate chips? blueberries?"

"it's heaven in here!" Luca exclaims with a chuckle as he opens his arms to emphasize his point even more. "Chocolate covered strawberries, we need to get some of that for the deck" he smiles mischievously and grabs a plate from thr table. "Mmm syrup is okay, strawberries sound good too" hr says as he piles a few waffles on top of each other. "Look at me" he says suddenly. He has a strawberry between his fingers and he puts it near sirena's face for her to eat it.

it warms her heart to see luca so happy, and she knows this weekend is going to be one of the best by far. "oh my god, i love chocolate covered strawberries," she admits with a longing sigh. grabbing one waffle of her own and the rest of the strawberries for them to share, she places everything down on the small dining table next to the kitchen before going back to get some syrup. of course during all this, she stops to look at luca when he asks, and smiles when he's holding up a strawberry. her hands rest on his sides as she steps closer, her plump lips moving to cover parts of fruit before her teeth sink in and snatch a bite. her hazel hues never left his gaze as she did so, making sure her actions were slow and seductive. "thank you handsome."

"they're so good" he smiles, sitting down on the table. He grabs a fork and starts cutting small pieces and bringing them to his mouth. "Thanks love" he says when sirena brings the syrup. Luca observes her beautiful lips bite on the strawberry and he smirks. His gaze is intense. "We'll remember this weekend bc of strawberries and the yacht. And the sex," he chuckles, eating another bite of his waffles. "You're welcome, sexy." Yes, this new nickname is so fitting. "Are we gonna do it 365 days style?" He asks with a raised eyebrow.

"strawberries, yachts, and sex. honestly, can it get any better than that?" she teases before pouring just a little bit of syrup on her waffle and quickly cutting into it to take a bite. it was like these waffles were made by the gods themselves, they were so damn good. she sends her boyfriend a teasing wink at the nickname before nodding her head at his question. "oh hell yeah," she answers honestly. "if you don't bend me over a table and take me, then what was the point, right?" she's teasing, of course, but also hopes her words plants the idea in his head.

"no, it can't" he smiles slyly. He almost chokes at her next words as he's swallowing his waffles. Luca coughs and smacks his chest twice before regaining the composure. "I'll take you anywhere" he says, dropping a hand under the table and placing it on her thigh. "You'll be fucked out by the end of the weekend." How nice it is to be out of the villa and actually talk dirty at a normal volume. He wonders if the servers can hear them, but he hopes they're minding their own business. He eats the rest of his waffles before taking a strawberry and biting it. "So, sugar. What's the itinerary for today?"

sirena can't help but laugh when he's caught off guard by her words. if anything he should be used to how blunt she is with her desires, but it was still cute nonetheless. with his hand placed on her thigh, and the provocative words that slip past his lips, she can't help but bite down on her bottom one before answering his question, "well, after breakfast, i was thinking we could play a fun little stripping game." she moves closer to the boy, her own hand now resting on his thigh and giving it a quick squeeze. "you know, just to help get things started. what do you say?"

"like stripping mario kart?" He asks with a chuckle, loving her hand on his leg. Touching him seems to be one of her favorite activities, and he loves it. "Stripping poker? Stripping scrabble?" He laughs. It would be funny, though. Every 20 points, you remove an item of clothing, but he pretty sure they don't have that here. A shame, really. "What do you have in mind?" He asks, squeezing her thigh and then using his hand to eat another strawberry, soft lips savoring the fruit. "And where?"

"i'm so mad we haven't played strip mario kart at all this summer," she laughs when he brings it up. "we'll have to do that when we get home, if we're not too fucked out," she teases with a playful wink. "i do have a deck of cards in my bag, though. we could always play strip war? you know, who ever has the highest card wins that round, and who is the first to win three rounds gets to pick which clothing the loser as to remove." as to where they could do it, sirena sort of wanted to be bold and say, "what about the front of the boat? there's some couches to lounge on. could be fun."

"me too" he chuckles, "we've been busy, though. But yeah, we have to do that when we get back. Or... Maybe I've just been avoiding it bc i haven't played that game since last summer" he admits with a laugh. College life doesn't really give him time for videogames. "Is it just? Taking out one card at a time?" Luca asks with a tilt of his head. "Or we could play stop! The one where you're saying out loud the numbers in order while we take turns in revealing our cards one at a time and once a card matches the number we say out loud you have to put your hand on it immediately. The one that loses strips. The winner orders what the other needs to take off" he suggests with a smile, although he's not sure his explanation made any sense at all. "Front of the boat sounds good to me" he nods, "are you ready? Should we go now?"

"ooh, you're just afraid cause you know i'll kick your butt! you'll be sitting next to me all naked while i'm still fully clothed," she teases while nudging him. "yeah, we both flip one card at a time, and whichever one has the highest number wins that round." her brows furrow for a moment as she listens to his suggestion, and while she doesn't understand it fully, she figures there's no harm in learning. "do you wanna do that instead of war? you're gonna have to take me step by step cause i think i get it...but i also feel i'm gonna get naked real fast." after eating a few more strawberries, she stands up from the table with her fingers laced with his. "hecks yes we should go now! you've been showing off your arms too much, and now i wanna see the whole package."

"yes i am!" He laughs. He's not ashamed of admitting it, but also he hates losing so maybe he should practice some more before playing. "Yeah, i get you. I don't know, i feel like war is more about luck and stop is more about thinking quick and speed?" He shrugs his shoulders. "You know my mom traveled a lot to south america, and she taught me this game. I can teach you for one round and then we can play? How does that sound?" He smiles as they both stand up and he laughs at her comment about his arms. "I haven't been hitting the gym to hide them, rena" he teases.

"ah, so you're just afraid luck won't be on your side, huh? such a scardy cat," she teases before the two head out of the kitchen and make their way toward the front of the boat. sirena made sure to grab her deck of cards first before she's sitting criss cross on one of the couches. "okay, so if i understood you correct, we just count in order? so like, we can't just shout random numbers, we have to count in order? what are jacks, queens, kings and ace's then?"

"hey!" he exclaims, "i just want more of a challenge," luca grins as they head up towards the front of the yacht. he sits on the couch across from her, there's a beautiful wood table between them. "yeah," he nods his head and takes the cards from her hands before shuffling them. you get half the deck, i get the other half. it goes: ace, one, two, three... and then jack, queen, king, ace, one... it's just the names already" he explains, splitting the deck in two and handing a half to Sirena. "Let's do a test real quick. I'll start, ACE" he yells and flips a card. It's a queen of hearts. If you're not gonna yell in this game then why play it, right? "Now it's your turn, but then we'll have to be faster."(edited)

as she watches the boy shuffle the deck, she listens closes to his words and nods her head to what he's saying. so far, she thinks she's actually understanding it quite a bit. "ah, okay, so ace, two, three, four, so on and so forth, right?" she grabs her set of cards and places them in front of her, ready to following along in their practice play. his yell startles her for a second, but she quickly laughs and turns her card over, "two!" sadly it was a three, just one number off, but her eyes stay on the deck to wait for his next move.

"right," luca nods his head. he keeps the deck in his hand and smiles up at sirena when she seems startled but soon laughs at his loudness. "it just makes it more nerve wracking, and we love that here," he grins, focusing on the card she flips. "THREE!" but it's a five of diamonds and he pouts. he's ready for sirena to strip, wants to see so badly what's underneath her clothes. usually, he always wins at this game because he's so fast with his hand (thank you guitar, piano and drums) but he doesn't rule out the possibility of rena actually beating him, so he's extra alert.

"FOUR!" she flips her card, and it's a four of hearts, to which she quickly reacts and slaps the deck with a victorious smile. "ah, i got it! okay, screw the practice round, you're taking something off now," she laughs before eyeing him and snapping her fingers. "alright, let's not get to the good stuff JUST yet, so take off your shoes."

luca tries to slam his hand on the card but sirena's to quick for him. "shit," he mumbles, eyes widened in surprise. okay, fine, this is how she wants to play? this is how they're gonna play. he takes the four cards and adds it on the bottom of his pile. "okay fine," he rolls his eyes with a smile. he's ready to reach for the hem of his shirt when sirena asks for his shoes. "alright, alright," he chuckles and quickly ditches his sneakers. "okay, for real now. we have to be faster. you start, since you won."

"you didn't think you were the only one with cat like reflexes, hm? you gotta remember, i play instruments as well handsome," she teases with a competitive smile. the two were always so competitive with each other, but that's what made it so fun for the both of them. watching him ditch his sneakers, she leans forward, ready to pounce as she flips her first card and yells, "ACE!" only her card was a king of spades.

luca gives her a competitive smile as well. he's not gonna admit defeat so easily. "we'll see about that." As soon as she yells ace, he's already yelling "TWO!" and flips a ten of spades. he really wants to win this round. fuck it, he really wants to win this game. have her completely naked before him with the view of the ocean behind her.

"THREE!" she flips her card and it's a six of diamonds. the tension is high, and for some reason, it's turning her on.

As the game continues, Luca becomes excited and nervous at the same time. They've gone through two rounds of counting the 13 cards and he's so focused when it's his turn. "SIX!" voilà it's the six of spades. Quickly, he slams his hand on the table, on top of the cards. "Yes!" he grins smugly. "I'm no nonsense here. I want your shirt," he smirks as he pushes the losing cards towards Sirena. "I want it in my hand."

she almost slapped the cards a good three times from how intense it was, but her smile never faded since she was having way too much fun. soon he's yelling six, and the card appears. her hand moves quickly, but his was quicker, easily slapping the card first and causing her to lose. "aw, so many cards," she pouts teasingly before biting her lower lip with how demanding it was. god, it always turned her on. her fingers find the end of her shirt and swiftly remove it, revealing her white, strapless, laced bra underneath. it made her cleavage really pop with how tightly it was keeping her girls together. "maybe this is a good thing, cause now you might be distracted," she teases before placing the shirt in his hand.(edited)

"that's what you get for calling me a scaredy cat," he teases, but never with malice. he watches her as she bites her lower lip and he feels himself already getting turned on. her plump lips, a fatal addiction. he rests his head on his hand as he observes sirena take the top off. she looks beautiful just in her bra. her breasts looking glorious in the lacy underwear, perky as fuck. luca licks his upper lip subtly and takes the shirt in his hand. "ha! you wish," he chuckles and places the shirt next to his legs on the couch. "this will be my winning pile. next i want your jeans." he winks at her. "okay, ready? ACE!"

honestly, she wasn't even sure how long she'd be able to play this game without saying 'fuck it' and pouncing on him right this second. the boy could be fully clothed, yet looking at her a certain way would drive her insane. trying her best not to show how turned on she already was, she simply rolls her eyes at his comment, "bold of you to assume there will be an next time." placing his card down, she yells, "TWO!" only to reveal a nine of clubs.

"bold of you to assume there won't," he teases back. she was right though, he is a little distracted by her cleavage. She just looks so good. "Is it new?" he wonders. He hadn't seen that bra ever, not that he remembers. it is beautiful, he likes the lace against her skin, it makes her look soft, which is such a turn on because the girl is actually so feisty. "THREE!" he yells and laughs as he flips a seven of hearts.

"shh, no distractions," she teases with a wink, knowing she'll happily answer his questions later. it was new, just for this occasion actually. sirena loved dressing up for special occasions, and buying new things to tease him with. the two go through a whole round before sirena shouts, "SEVEN!" and flips over a seven of hearts. her hand moved so quickly, she didn't even realize she slapped the cards until she felt them under her hand. "fuck yes! shirt, off, now."

luca rolls his eyes, of course she's gonna tease him like that. doesn't matter, he himself has brought something to make the trip exciting. it's actually a present, but he's not going to give it to her until late at night. "HEY!" luca exclaims, he can't believe he just lost. "you don't have cat like reflex, you're a goddamn gazelle," he chuckles. "oh, now we're bossy. i can be into that," he smirks and grabs his tank top from the neck part, behind, and pulls it off in one swift move. broad chest and shoulders on display. "think quickly!" he smiles and tosses the shirt over at sirena.

"you're not the only one that can bark orders," she teases while blowing him an air kiss. watching him remove his shirt, it really did take all of her body strength not to jump is bones right then and there. instead she takes in every dip and curve his body has to offer, tracing them with her hungry eyes as her lower lip gets bitten again. "god, it's like you were sculpted by greek gods or something," she speaks before his shirt is hitting her in the face and she's laughing. "so much for being a gazelle," she teases before pushing the losing pile to his side and flipping over the first card. "ACE!" but it was a three.

"admit it, you love it," he smiles and quickly stands up to bend over the table and steal a kiss from her lips. luca laughs, a bit embarrassed, when she praises his body. she compliments him a lot, but whenever she drools about his torso, he gets a bit shy. it's not the favorite part of his body, he knows he doesn't have a six pack and probably never will, but he's been working hard at maintaining himself, working out mostly. Luca laughs along with her, "sometimes a gazelle, sometimes a snail. you can be both," he teases. "TWO!" he flips a jack of clubs.

"i love it a little too much," she admits with a blush of her own. she thinks it's cute how they both get shy over silly things like this. luca was beautiful, gorgeous, breathtaking, and she didn't know how he didn't realize this. he didn't need a six pack to compete with everyone else. if anything, he was on a whole other level. "you're so mean," she laughs before slamming her next card down. "THREE!" it's a queen of clubs.

he likes it when she blushes, he tells her every time. she looks beautiful and adorable. it's a good reminder that there's more to her than a banging body and excellent skills in bed. she has such a wonderful heart and such an interesting mind. he loves her entire being. "why? i think it's awesome you can be so multifaceted!" he replies with a laugh of his own. "FOUR!" he quickly slams on the card with the four of diamonds on it. yes! he thinks. "jeans. hand them over"

she tried her best to reach out and slap the cards, but she ends up colliding with his hand instead and she laughs. "damn it!" standing up, she turns around so he gets a nice view of her sweet little ass. unbuttoning her jeans, she takes her time to slowly pull the fabric down, letting it finally uncover her ass and show off the matching thong she was wearing underneath. letting luca get a nice look, she quickly turns to sit down and throws the jeans over at him. "hope you got a good look cause it's the last one you're gonna get for this game."

he laughs when their hands collide, but quickly it is replaced by a lustful stare. He has to admit he's an ass man, and Sirena's is perky and round, just like he likes it. He stares at it so hard he might as well burn two holes through it. the matching set she's wearing is pretty, but not as gorgeous as her naked body. "i'm gonna go get it framed from my mind alone," he jokes, feeling his face hot. luca catches the jeans with both hands and places it on top of her shirt, next to him. "my pile is looking pretty sweet right now," he grins. "ACE!"

sitting there half naked and watching his eyes soak her up, she was pretty sure she's finally hit her breaking point. as cocky as she sounded, and as much as she wanted to win, she really just wanted his hands touching every inch of her body and making her feel so damn good. so when she lips her next card over and shouts, "TWO!" and a two of hearts appears, she pretends like she stumbles for a moment, taken back by how quickly a slap occurred, before trying to reach for it, and failing to grab it in time. "what next, handsome?" she asks with a sultry smile, this time pushing her cards aside and moving to sit much, much, closer to him.

as soon as she yells TWO! luca is quick to slam his hand on the top of the two cards. it was a poor win, but it was a win anyway. he notices sirena push the cards to the side and getting closer to him. now, not only his face feels hot, but his entire body is burning. "fuck it" he says with a hoarse voice and sets his deck aside with the other cards. He's soon wrapping his arms around sirena's waist and unclasping her bra with both hands. "i fuck you right here on this yacht, that's what's next," he smirks and kisses her lips, hungry for her taste.

her smile widens when luca is in the same mind set as her. they were both dying for a taste of the other, to get this sex crazed weekend started. her arms quickly wrap around his neck as he pulls her closer, her chest rising as he quickly strips the bra off her body and her nips quickly hardening. "god, i need a taste of you already," she giggles before his lips come crashing on her own. bare chests now press against each other as they let their tongues explore inside each other's mouths. "jeans, off, now."

he leaves her pretty bra on top of the pile with her clothes, feeling her hardened nipples against his chest is arousing him so much he's sure he'll have an erection in no time. he kisses her passionately, letting his arms wrap around her and bringing her hands to cup her shoulders, bringing her even closer. he wants to melt into her body, become one. he chuckles against her lips when she demands for him to take off his jeans. he doesn't say anything, quickly going to unzip his pants and standing up only to push them down his legs and off his body. "lay down," he smiles before he's straddling her body, both legs on either side of hers. eyes looking at her bare chest. "god, you're beautiful"

moving off his lap was the last thing she wanted to, the cold sea breeze quickly engulfing her body when his chest was no longer pressed to his. she reminds herself it's only for a few moments. hungry eyes soak up his form as he strips the jeans off his body, and as much as she wanted to bark some more orders to make him sit back so she could sit between his legs and make him see stars, a part of her can't help but follow his orders and let her bare back rest against the couch. she'll get her turn next, she thinks. a small blush hits her cheeks at his words, her hands soon reaching out to cup his face and steal softer kisses this time, "make me feel good, sunshine, please...."

he loves it, he absolutely loves the tint on her cheeks. he realizes he wants to make her feel like that forever. he's going to dedicate to it. luca kisses her lips softly, resting a hand on top of hers that is on his face. "imma make you feel so good." he promises, and soon starts humming the intro of 'mermaid motel', their song. he places soft kisses on her jaw, on her neck, her collarbone, between her breasts, on top of each nipple. he wants her skin to be a mess of goosebumps. a hand goes up to stroke her cheek as he keeps on loving her upper body.

she trusts his words more than life itself. when he promises something, she knows he means it. she knows he'll come through with it, and make her feel on top of the world. when he starts mumbling their song, all she can do is smile and close her eyes to soak up every moment that he was giving her. she took in every taste his lips left upon her skin while she softly sang, "you call me lavender, you call me sunshine..." her whole body began to crawl with goosebumps as he gave attention to her sensitive nips. "you say take it off, take it off..." she moans softly while cupping the hand that was placed on her cheek.

he smiles through kisses as he hears her beautiful voice. "you're such a good singer." he says while flicking her nipple with his tongue. "it's like you should be a musician or something," luca teases with a grin and places a long lingering kiss right next to the aureola. His thumb traces her cheekbone before it travels down to her bottom lip. there's something about tracing your finger on someone else's lips that is so sexy to him. he keeps kissing her, feeling the erection grow in his black briefs. he trails down with his mouth until he reaches her thong. with his teeth, he bites the tiny piece of clothing and drags it down her legs, all the while he's making eye contact.

she can't help but laugh at his words, loving how even in the most sensual of moments, they were still always teasing and making each other laugh. "i'll consider it," she answers before she inhales sharply while he gives her girls the attention they've been craving all morning. soon her hand moves to let her fingers get tangled in his locks, her eyes finally opening to gaze down at him as he moves further down her slender frame. she lifts her hips so he can take the small piece of fabric off her body, and her legs instantly spread nice and wide to give him the best view he could ever find.

"just thank me when you win an award and we'll be alright" he chuckles. Her hips will be the death of him, the way moves them and lift them up only for technical purposes, drives him insane. He could stare at those movements all day. When he gets to her ankles, he takes the thong off with his hand. "Imma devour your pretty pussy, sugar" he sends a smirk her way before he immediately dives into her core with his swollen-from-too-much-kissing lips. She's already wet and that turns him on even more, feeling his length completely erect by now.

just hearing him talk that way, god it caused her whole body to shiver and her core to drip with hunger. luca wastes no time in staying true to his words and quickly devouring her core. it causes a quick curse to leave her lips before her back arches from the suddenly rush of pleasure. one hand travels to find his, wanting their lingers to lace together and give it a tight squeeze. her hips buckle to push herself further into his mouth, "holy fuck, just like that, luca..."

Like they're in sync, luca reaches a hand for hers to intertwine their fingers. With his other hand, he guides her leg over his shoulder, so that her bent knee is gripping it. It gives him a better angle to eat her out, and he loves all the reactions she makes. From arching her back to the moans slipping past her lips. He bites on his lower lip, admiring her dripping pussy once more before he attacks it again with his mouth. His tongue quickly finds her clit, swollen from the arousement she's experiencing. He caresses her ass while his other hand squeezes hers tightly. "I love you, i love you, i love you" he repeats like a mantra between licks. "You're mine. I love you."

"god, i love you so much," she practically moans as her hand squeezes his. hips begin to rock against against his mouth the more he dives deeply into her. the knot in her stomach grew tighter and tighter with each breathless moan she cries out into the open air. if he kept going like this, she'd explode in no time. which is why she only lets him have the upper hand for a few moments longer before she's leaning up and bringing his chin up to her level, "if you want more, you're gonna have to give me a taste first." she leans in to soak up the juices left upon his lips before she's pulling him up and pushing his back against the couch. "i'm gonna make you see stars, handsome."

When her hips start to rock, he thinks he's in heaven. Licking faster all the juices from her core, he smacks his lips a few time and places softer kisses on every little bit of her entrance. He smiles at her words, it's wonderful to know he's loved like that. He treasures sirena's love. Before he can feel her cum in his mouth, she's already pulling him up, juices down to his chin. He wipes it away with his hand and smirks at the promise she makes. "Oh" he says breathlessly before his back is hitting the back of the couch. Biting his lower lip, he palms himself a few times. "Take off my underwear." He wants her to do it to feel her fingers first. Magical fingers that already have him breathing hard at thr thought of them.

"oh luca," she sighs softly with a teasing smile. "it's cute how you think you're still in charge right now." she leans in to capture his lips, only to tug at his bottom one and pull on it before she's peppering sweet kisses on his jawline and across his neck. her hand begins to palm in through the fabric of his underwear while her teeth go to work nipping and biting softly at the skin upon his neck. leaving her mark once again, she wants to tease him just for a second before letting her hand slip up under the fabric that hides her prize. "you're rock solid, handsome," she teases him when her bare fingers finally wrap around his hardened length, giving it a nice squeeze before she leans up to rest her forehead against his own. "it's your turn to beg, luca. tell me how badly you want my pretty lips wrapped around you."

He blushes, feeling his ears hot. She really got bossy, huh? It's alright, he can switch for a bit. "Okay, okay." Luca chuckles, "I'll let you do whatever you want, precious" he says before she kisses him. His arms hold her naked waist as she tugs on his lower lip, a groan escaping his mouth. Leaning his head back, he lets out soft moans as she works on his neck. A louder groan when her hand reaches the part of him that wants her more. He shifts a bit in his seat. "You're driving me crazy here" he whines with his eyes closed. The idea of being marked up always too powerful to him. It's so sexy how she marks her territory like that. Luca likes the praise, "only for you" he manages to choke out once her hand is on his length. "Fuck" he moans as she squeezes him.forehead already sweaty, Luca forces himself to open his eyes and look at the woman he's in love with.  "Please" he begs. "Please rena, i need your pretty lips on my cock. You know how to make me lose my mind. Take me in."

listening to the sounds that melt past his lips, it gives her the drive to keep teasing and give him a small taste of what's to come. he could seriously make her a song with nothing but his moans, and she'd listen to it for hours upon hours, getting lost in his cues of pleasure. when he begs so nicely, a wide smile graces her lips, tasting his own one last time before she begins to travel south down his perfectly sculpted body. "i could listen to you beg all day," she speaks softly when she's finally resting on her knees and her fingers begin to pull the last of his fabrics down his legs and around his ankles instead. watching his cock spring forth, her eyes grew wide with hunger. "but i think you've earned this," she finishes, soon gripping his length and letting her tongue dart out to lick up the pre cum that drips from his tip. she's giving his shaft a few light squeezes as she sucks on his tip before opening her mouth wider and fully taking his length deep into the back of her throat.

"i can beg" he states, watching her get down on her knees. Her naked body on this yacht is such a beautiful thing to see. He bites his lower lip as he lifts his hips to help her remove the last item of clothing. He's naked in his full glory. "I've been good. So good. Please suck me off" he asks for it, soon getting into sub-space. It's rare to see him like this, so sirena better be making the most of it. "Oh" he shuts his eyes again when she grabs him and licks him. His body tensing up from the pleasure he's feeling. Her mouth is velvet against his sensitive cock. Silver velvet. "Holy fuck" he groans, rolling his head to one side as his muscles begin to work harder, his chest raising and falling every millisecond she takes him deeper. "Please. Grab my balls. Please" he whines, out of breath. They're sensitive and he needs to feel her touch there as well.

her head quickly begins to bop up and down at a nice pace, letting her tongue lather his shafts as her lips give love around the base as well. a few times she let's his tip reach the back of her throat, letting him gag her just slightly before she's coming up for air and heading back down. her moans and groans work to vibrate around his cock as she begins to work faster on him. hearing him beg like this was making her core ache and scream for him to fuck her already, but she wanted her taste and wouldn't stop till she was satisfied. listening to his request, one hand moves to cup and fondle both his balls, letting them dance and play in her palm as she continues to suck him off. soon she's lifting his cock so her tongue and trace down his length before she's popping his balls into her mouth, lightly sucking on them as her free hand continues to jerk him off. "you taste so fucking good, handsome," she moans as a small amount of saliva trails down her bare chest from how much she was devouring him.

When he hits the back of her throat, his mouth hangs open, curses slipping past his mouth. Hearing her gag like that for him, oh what a nice tune to his ears. When she goes up for air and leaves his cock alone for a second, luca feels like he's dying, only to be revived by her sucking him again. The breeze against his member is sending shivers up and down his spine. "Please don't stop" he bites down on his lower lip, raising a hand to run his fingers through his hair. When she cups his balls, he's about to lose it. His orgasm is near, he can feel it building up inside of him. "Thank you,' he breathes out. "Thank you." She's a sex goddess. "Shitshitshitshit" his upper body squirms as she takes his balls into her mouth. The texture feeling like heaven. "You're too good to me" he smiles through the painful pleasure. Before he even notices it, he's spilling on her chest. A resonant "fuuuuuck" leaving his lips. He bucks his hips up repeatedly to milk the most out of his orgasm.

she can feel his body squirming under her touch, and she's loving every second of it. listening to him thank her, hearing his groans and cries of pleasure, god it was almost enough to get her off right then and there as well. soon her movements become rough, because she's hungry to get him off and watch his face melt and contort from the stars she's making him see. soon enough his reached his high, and she let's him coat her naked chest before taking him in once more to lick up every drop he's giving her. making sure he's nice and clean, and that he's rode out his high for as long as he could, she's grabbing her jeans and cleaning up the mess on her chest, knowing that she has plenty of other clothes to wear later on and she'll just have to wash that one later. "you better catch your breath quick, cause we're not done here, handsome." she straddles his lap and grabs his cock so her sweet pussy lips can begin to tease his length, helping him get back up while her juices coat his entire shaft. "you still have fuck the life out of me," she whispers against his lips.

He's breathless, chest raising up and down quickly as he tries to regain the composure. He's rode out his high and he's a sloppy mess on the couch. He watches sirena clean herself up and suddenly he's rock hard again, ready for another round. "Are you gonna fuck me?" He asks with a sparkle in his eyes, a greedy smile on his lips. He's still in a submissive state, so when she climbs onto his lap, he watches in awe. Luca moans out as she teases his sensitive cock with her pretty pussy. The juices that are coating him are making him see explosions of colors behind his closed eyelids. Luca swallows hard at her words and kisses her lips. "ride me" he begs. "Oh fuck, please ride me. I'll be good. I've been so good."

she can't help but chuckle at how ready he already was for a second round. there plenty of other reasons why she loved luca so much, and this was definitely one of them. her own soft moans are mixing with his when she teases him, and she finally feels they've both had enough. making sure his tip was aligned with her core, she doesn't waste anytime letting his entire length run up deep insider her. "oooh, fuck," she cries softly, letting her walls get adjusted to his size before she begins to bounce upon his lap, her walls clinging around his shaft with ever thrust he makes. "fuck me just like that, luca," she commands as her hips begin to move quicker. "fuck, just like that, baby!"

He bites her shoulder once he enters her, her walls enveloping him so well. "Lavender" he gasps as he kisses the spot he's just bit. Instinctively, Luca's hands go to her ass, squeezing tightly between his hands. She's bouncing so beautifully on top of him, her breasts keeping up with the rhythm, he can feel his mouth water. "Can i kiss your tits?" He asks with a soft voice, groans at the back of his throat. He helps her guide herself into him with his hands. "Keep fucking me" he whispers against her skin. "Keep fucking me so good. You own me, rena. I'd do anything for you, just keep fucking me like this"

her fingers are entangled in his locks as she's feeling him fucking her so nicely. his name is mixed with her moans and cries, and suddenly she forgets exactly where she is. all that matters to her is that luca is right here with her, making her feel this incredible despite the burning sensation she was feeling from being so close to reaching her high. "please do," she practically begs, her tits being one of her favorite places to be touched. his words were sending her into overdrive, her eyes rolling into the back of her head as the pure ecstasy he was giving her was becoming too much in the best way possible. "fuck, luca, i'm gonna come so hard for you," she admits through panted breathes. "i love having you so deep inside me, sunshine. you always make me feel so fucking good!"

As soon as she lets him, luca attacks her skin with his lips. Tasting so sweet, a bit of his own cum mixed in there. She feels so good wrapped around him, his eyes are closed and his mouth is exploring every bit of skin and nips. They're erect, which only drives him crazier. He's in actual heaven. "Cum for me" he says between groans of pleasure. Suddenly, his dominant side showing again. "Cum for me, i want you to fall apart on my cock." And he loves being so deep inside of her, hr squeezes her ass tighter as he flicks a nipple with his tongue several times at the speed of lightning. "You feel so good. So fucking good. You're a treat to fuck. Oh god how i love fucking you." He bucks his hips up so he's pounding into her, suddenly feeling his second orgasm building up.

between his mouth tasting every inch of her hardened nips, to his big hand squeezing her perky little ass, to his cock being buried deep inside her, the knot in her stomach was becoming unbearable at this point. she couldn't contain her cries and screams any longer, not really caring too either as the whole ocean was for them to enjoy for this weekend. her nails begin to dig into his back as she holds on tightly to him while his name echo past her lips more times than she can count. before she can even give a warning, her whole body begins to convulse and quiver in his arms. her toes began to curl and her walls grow so tight around his cock, she's afraid they'd be stuck together. it feels like it takes an hour for her to finally calm down from her high, her body finally losing its tension before she's collapsing against his frame, her breathing slowly trying to go back to normal again.

he keeps fucking into her when he feels her body reach her own orgasm, it quivers between his hands, it's enough to push him over the edge. "oh, sirena, fuuck," he cranes his head back and rolls his eyes to the back of his head. this second time feeling stronger than the last. he swear he sees stars and he laughs a little, loving how she really kept her promise. walls tight are milking every little bit of his cum as he shoots up inside of her. his thrusts slowing down until finally stopping and just being inside of her, deep, feeling her insides relax a bit, he does as well. luca catches her when she crashes against his chest. "shh" he strokes her hair and kisses her forehead. "you did so good. you fucked me so good," he praises with a whisper, feeling like he's about to explode from all the love and respect he has for this woman.

feeling him release inside her, she can't help but feel proud that she got him off twice in one sitting. she wonders if all this built up tension was from her keeping her promise in not letting the two get too wild before their getaway vacation this weekend. of course she couldn't stop herself from kissing the boy all week, but she somehow managed to withhold sex for at least two days before they left. for now, there was no other place she'd rather be than in his arms right now. the way he's holding her and comforting her after their wild ride, it makes her heart want to burst right out of her chest with all the love she feels. "i love you, luca cartwright," she mumbles softly, her body snuggling deeper into his hold as she listens to the beautiful rhythm of his heartbeat.

he closes his eyes as they both try to regulate their breathing. his head perched upon her shoulder and one hand is stroking her naked back. the two days they didn't had sex definitely helped them get off that hard, at least in his opinion. he'd been looking forward to this weekend ever since sirena posed the idea of not having sex till it happened. he smiles at her words, "i know," he replies. he doesn't think he's ever felt so sure of someone else loving him. it's a huge step for him. he avoided relationships because he didn't think he could be loved, not with all the baggage he carries. and his first relationship... well, that's the time when it all started and he began to feel insecure about his worth. but now, with rena, he doesn't even question it. he feels it so deeply. luca pulls away and opens his eyes to look at her features, "i love you, sirena rose," his smile is big. with both hands, he hoists her up and he pulls himself out of her.

she smiles sweetly at him when he replies, and helps him by pulling herself off his lap in the process. suddenly she's very aware of how exposed she is, but she doesn't really care all that much. the boat seemed to find a perfect spot for them to coast on, which gives them the opportunity to swim if they'd like to. standing up, her legs were a bit wobbly at first, simply from the position she had been sitting in, plus the intense fucking they just had. she leans down to steal a kiss from him before she's making her way toward the back of the boat, an inviting smile telling him to follow. the minute she reaches the lowest part that sits right on top of the water, she wastes no time in diving in and letting the cool ocean water fully refresh her. "care to swim with the fishes?" she teases after she comes up for air.

luca chuckles when he sees her wobbly legs. he's not sure where she's going, but he loves to see it. he quickly puts on his briefs and follows her to the edge of the boat. his eyes widen when she dives right into the water. he didn't expect that. waiting for her to come out for air, luca sits on the border, feet dangling in the water. his skin fills up with goosebumps. "no way, it's too cold," he grins, splashing her with his leg. he likes seeing her so happy. and he swears he will do anything and everything to keep her smiling like this. when they fought, his heart ached when she looked so heartbroken, he wouldn't want to see her face like that ever again. "besides, i'm too fucked out," he laughs. "i'd drown. i'd rather take a nap," he teases.

"what a baby," she teases with a giggle when he splashes water on her. the cool water already woke her up, and honestly, it was nice to feel weightless after barely being able to stand on her legs after the rough love making they just did. swimming up to the edge of the dock, she rests her arms on them and looks up at her boyfriend, "why don't you go take a nap? you're gonna need all the rest you can get cause we're just getting started." she sends him a playful wink.

"i'm baby, rena." he laughs. luca watches her as she swims back to him and he leans forward, resting his elbows on his knees. "don't treat me like an old man. i can take it," he rolls his eyes, looking at the ocean in front of them before looking down at sirena. "if i do take i nap is because i want to, not because i need to, alright?" he grins and bends down even more to steal a kiss from her lips. she tastes like the salt of the sea. "how are you so active right now? is it because you do so many shows a year that you're used to the stamina or adrenaline or whatever it's called?"

"you are baby," she chuckles softly. "it's not my fault you sound like an old man," she teases playfully before splashing some water his way. she nods his head at his next set of words, letting him think whatever he wanted to think. tasting his lips, she already wants to taste more, but she holds herself back. "that's probably it," she laughs at his question. "i'm used to doing two hour shows with barely any break so you kind of have to work up a pretty high stamina. also my sex drive is just horribly high," she laughs before leaning back to float on her back. "go take a nap, handsome. i'll be here when you wake up."

"i only sound like an old man because i'm wise as fuck," he jokes with a grin. "hey! don't do that!" luca laughs as he tries to shield himself from the splashes with his hands. "listen, i admire that. your first shows must've been exhausting, but look at you now! you're a pro. in no time you'll be playing staples center in la and wembley in the uk!" he smiles. luca really has all of his faith in this band, they have a sound he can't really recognize in other bands these days. they're unique. he laughs at her comment about her sex drive, "mmm looks like we're soulmates, huh?" he smiles and kisses her. once she's floating on her back, he stands up to admire her naked body, all wet. "alright," he yawns. "will you go wake me up in a babydoll or something?" he asks with a smirk.

their first shows were pretty exhausting, but sirena has always had some high stamina. maybe that's why it was so easy to keep herself in shape, since she actually didn't mind burning up that stamina while working out. she smiles at how confident luca is in something strange, and it gives her the drive to do better and preform in the arena's he's talking about, "thank you, handsome. you'll be backstage watching us play at every single one of them." his next question makes her laugh, "maybe. or you might just wake up handcuffed and blind folded. i haven't decided yet."

"i better be" he teases with a smile. "Oh?" The idea of waking up cuffed is actually exciting. "Both sound good" he says before he waves at her goodbye and goes to grab his clothes from the couch. He finds their room easily, since it's the biggest one. The bed is king size and there are chocolates on the nightstand,. He eats a piece when he lays down on the bed and before he knows it, he's sleeping like a baby.

🔥 ℝise Ⱥbove I̾t ◈ Chapter 028 [Ten Million Madness]

📑 Table of Contents | ◂Backward

Author’s Note: Okay, so I feel to the need to say something because I’m kinda disappointed. So, I write out each chapter on paper because I write best that way, and then I can type it out on the computer to basically re-write/edit it to add more details to the basic premise for each chapter. Well, I ran out of paper in the original book, so I got another one. The problem is that this new book was from the dollar store, so it’s a bit smaller and the margins aren’t as big on either side of the page.

Three pages, front and back, in the old book averaged out to about 2.5k words or better. However, the same amount in this new book has just barely been scraping 2k. I feel bad, but it’ll be worse if I go mixing up the chapters to make them longer. I’ll continue to try more pages until I can get back to that 2.5k average. Not sure if anyone noticed or cares, but it’s really bugging me so I felt the need to say something lol (> ツ)>/*

⊱ ────── {⋅. 🔥 .⋅} ────── ⊰

I stood off to the side, watching as the other students scrambled around trying to form teams and think of strategies. Several students from class A were surrounding Bakugo, trying to convince him to choose them for his team. I had considered asking to join him, too, but his attitude from after the race seriously put me off.

“Wait, remind me what your quirks are again.” He said, his face blank as he was overwhelmed by them. “And your names.”

I scoffed, covering my mouth. I mean, same, though. I should really start a list of the people I still need to learn the names of. I felt a tug on the leg of my pants, followed by the hair on the back of my neck standing on end.

“Jen, be my partner,” Mineta demanded, his eyes wide as he looked up at me. “I can be the rider and you’ll be the horse. Just imagining those pump boobs between my fingers gets me -”

“Who said you could say my name you prick?!” My eye twitched in anger as I brought my foot back, slamming it into his face and punting him across the field. He landed behind Octo, who he referred to as Shoji, and started whining about how all of the girls had refused to partner with him. I wonder fucking why.

What a fucking freak.

I glanced at Izuku. No one was even looking in his general direction, poor guy. I did say that I would look out for him and protect him… but this is just the sports festival and everyone is gonna be gunning for him. That’s a shit-ton of extra effort for whoever plays the horse. Still… I sighed deeply and started in his direction, pausing when slim fingers gently wrapped around my wrist, almost hesitantly. It was French Fry. Wait, why is he shaking like that? He’s clutching his stomach… must’ve overused his quirk in the last round.

“What’s up?” I asked, turning toward him.

He forced a smile despite the pained expression on his face. “I was hoping… you would like to be my partner.”

I glanced back at Izuku. Ochaco was chatting happily with him and another girl was quickly approaching them. Who knew he was so popular with the ladies? I turned back to the blonde, whose smile had lessened. “What’s your name again?”

“Yuga Aoyama, mademoiselle.”

“Aoyama,” I tested the name on my tongue before smiling at him. “Sure, why not. Let’s be partners.”

His face brightened, blonde locks swaying as he tilted his head. “Thank you!”

I nodded. “I’ll be the horse and I’ll carry you on my back. You focus on grabbing headbands and I’ll do my best to keep people at bay with my fire, okay?”

“Are we going after Midoriya?”

“Nah, that’s way too much trouble.” I scratched my cheek, glancing at the greenette. Both team Todoroki and team Bakugo were glaring at team Midoriya. “Everyone sees the big number, but not the big picture. A lot of teams are gonna be goin’ after him, but the smart teams will use the chaos as a smokescreen to stack up smaller numbers. We’ll be one of those teams.”

He straightened his back, arm loosely clutching his stomach. “I’ll do my best, mademoiselle!”

I grinned, wagging my finger. “My motto has always been to work smart, not hard.”

“I also have an idea, if you’re interested? I promise it’s magnifique.”

I raised a brow curiously, crossing my arms. “Alright, I’m listening. Let’s hear it.”

“Oh, goody, it’s time to get this party started!” Midnight announced, happily.

“Hey, hey, look alive! After fifteen minutes to pick teammates and talk strategy, thirteen cavalry teams are prepared to go head to head!”

“I see some unexpected student combinations,” Aizawa commented.

“Come on, everyone put your hands in the air! It’s time for an arena-bumping U.A. battle royale! Let me hear you scream~!”

I gripped Aoyama’s thighs when he hopped onto my back. “Wrap your legs around my waist, I’m gonna need at least one of my hands free for defense and I don’t want you to fall.”

“Right!” He shifted his weight, crossing his ankles across my stomach. His right arm was tight around my neck, the other resting on my shoulder so it would be free to grab headbands. With my two-hundred and five points and his five, we only came out to a total of two-hundred-ten points, but that’s fine. That number will be much higher when all of this is said and done.

“Let’s get this party started! One final countdown before the game starts! Three… Two… One…”

“Begin!!” Midnight shouted.

I sweatdropped as most of the teams made a beeline straight for Izuku’s team. “Idiots,” His group started to sink into the ground and he pressed a button in his hand, launching his team into the sky. Oi oi, is that shit even allowed? Ah, but Shadow is working so hard to defend, how fucking adorable! Shit, no, stay focused, dumbass. “Let’s set this place on fire, Aoyama!”

He nodded as his arm tightened, his fist clenching around my shirt.

While Invisigirl’s team was focused on Izuku in the sky, I rushed behind them and Aoyama reached out for her band, only to have it snatched by a blonde kid I had never seen before. I huffed, chasing after them. “Get ready to grab, and hold on tight!”

I lifted my left hand, increasing the temperature of my skin. I don’t want to set this kid on fire, I just gotta burn him enough where he releases his grip on the band. Shouldn’t be too difficult considering the fucker is carelessly swinging it around his finger without a care in the world. I focused on the spot behind his team – please oh great and powerful taco god, let this work! Aoyama squeaked in surprise as I teleported, clutching onto me for dear life. Pain shot through my skull but I did my best to ignore it, grabbing the boy’s wrist with my hand. He hissed in pain, the band falling from his fingers.

Aoyama snatched it and I jumped back just as the boy reached out for my face, his hand flaming. Huh, does he have a fire quirk, too? It seems to be hurting him, if that pained face is anything to go by. He held his hand out, fire shooting toward us. I can probably withstand it, those flames are pretty tame, but Aoyama can’t and my job is to protect him at all costs. I swept my hand across the air in front of me, a wall of flame sprouting up between us and clashing with the fire he had thrown at us. I used this opportunity to put distance between us – I’d rather not get caught up in a drawn-out battle over one fucking band, it wasn’t worth it.

Plus, you know, effort. I swear after this stupid sports festival is over, Imma fucking sleep for three months. I’m gonna turn into a fucking bear and hibernate.

Aoyama tied the band around his neck, breathing out. “We’re up to six-hundred, mademoiselle.”

I nodded, “Good job.”

“Wow! Barely two minutes have passed since we started and it’s already a total free for all! Yeah! Watch those headbands! You can even ignore the ten million points and go after the other chart-toppers!”

“Goddamn it, Mic,” I growled out, glaring at the commentator’s box. “Keep your fuckin’ ideas to yourself, you damned cockatiel!”

Izuku took off to the sky again and Bakugo jumped off of his horses, using his explosions to propel him toward them. Dark Shadow blocked him, of course.

“Woaaah! Bakugo has been separated from his horses! Is that even allowed?!”

He started to fall, only to have tape wrap around his waist and pull him back down to his horses, one of which was Flex Tape himself.

“He never touched the ground so technically it’s okay!” Midnight gave a thumbs up.

Seriously, what the fuck even is this game? Sheesh, these guys ain’t messin’ around, they’re actin’ like their lives depend on it. I don’t get paid enough for this shit.

Oh wait, I’m not getting paid at all. What a buzzkill.

“Behind us!”

I jumped to the side just as a green hand swiped by my face. “Rin?”

He grinned, sitting atop a large, hairy guy that ran on all fours. “I told you to call me Hiryuu!” His horse jerked forward and Hiryuu made a grab for the band around Aoyama’s neck. I slapped his hand away and he tried with the other.

“Sorry, Ryuu.” My fingers wrapped around his wrist and I tugged him forward. “Aoyama!”

His chest pressed against the back of my head as he leaned forward. Just as his fingers grazed the band, I noticed something transparent shooting toward us. The air solidified, forming a chain with a hook on the end. Within seconds, the headband was snatched from Ryuu’s head.

I snapped my head to the side, eyes narrowed. It’s that black-haired boy that was with Doc Brown’s love child. He’s one of the horses for that loudmouthed silverette from class B. “Damn it,” I jumped back as Ryuu tried again to grab the band. “Sorry, bro, gotta jet!” I focused on the opposite side of the field – there’s far too many teams in this one area and I need breathing room. With just two of us, it’ll be bad to get surrounded.

I teleported, sweat rolling down my cheek as my head throbbed painfully, making me clench my teeth.

“Are you okay?” Aoyama asked worriedly. “You’re shaking.”

I huffed, leaning over. “I think I… just discovered the… limit of my teleportation… awesome…” Shit, I don’t think I’ll be able to use it anymore, at least not until I recover a shit-ton of stamina.

“Now, who wants to take a look at each team’s place so far?! It’s been seven minutes so let’s get those rankings started on the screen! Hold on here… this is an unexpected turn! Other than Midoriya and Winchester, class 1-A’s not doing so hot! Even Bakugo is losing!”

“What?” My eyes snapped to the screen. “No way… He’s at zero?” A sudden angry aura grabbed my attention and I looked across the field – of course, it was coming from Bakugo. It was directed at that blonde guy with the fire quirk. Bakugo, you better not leave me up here alone, bro. Get those damn points back, you bastard.

“And now, we’ve reached the halfway point of the game! As the cavalry battle enters the second half, it’s anyone’s game! Class 1-B has made an unexpected showing, but who will wear the ten million points in the end?! That’s the real question, sports fans!”

The throbbing in my head started to dull a bit and I squeezed his thighs. “Aoyama, we’re going for the group that stole Ryuu’s headband. That’s one-hundred-twenty-five points, and if we can grab that silver-haired bitch’s seven-hundred-five, we’ll be at fourteen-thirty-five. That’ll put us in second place for now. Let’s see if that plan of yours actually works out for us.”

He swallowed hard. “L-Let’s do it! Apres la pluie le beau temps!”

“No idea what the fuck you just said but let’s hope it’s something helpful. Alright!” I grinned, bending my knees. With fire under my boots, I propelled myself forward, rushing straight toward the unsuspecting silverette and his team.

“Tetsu!” The ravenette noticed us, but not fast enough.

My hand turned red as it shot toward the rider. His arm shot up, blocking the blow as his skin turned to metal. “Well, shit…”

He grinned, showing off sharp teeth like Kiri’s. “Hey, that tickles!”

I matched his grin. “If that body of yours can turn to steel, then that means I don’t have to hold back, right?” My hand erupted in flame and I pushed against him. The flames spread across his metallic skin, sweat appearing on his face from the intense heat. Aoyama’s hand shot forward, fingers clutching the band around the silverette’s neck.

I felt the air around us changing, a chain shooting out from the ravenette. Shit! I slipped my hand up, burning the side of the band around his forehead and it fell into Aoyama’s hand just as large transparent hand shoved us away.

“Our band! He got it!” Aoyama cried.

I cursed as the transparent chain returned to its owner, Aoyama’s band landing in his hand. “Goddamn it.”
