One half STEALS the others jacket
Listen, half my wardrobe is made up of other people's stolen clothes, so I adore this prompt.
Echo x Reader: Stealing Clothes
Since it's Bad Batch Eve, I'm going to do my beloved boy Echo for this one.
Words: 489
Warnings: None! Just fluff. :)
Tumblr media
You grumbled to yourself, digging through the tiny footlocker you'd been allotted when you joined the Bad Batch as their resident medic. There wasn't much space aboard the small shuttle, so how on earth had you managed to lose your favorite hoodie?
"What're you looking for?" Omega asked, peeking around you as you fumbled through your belongings.
"My hoodie, the big blue one with the Bolo-Ball championship cup on it." You said, rocking back on your heels and sighing. "I swear I left it on my bunk last night, but -."
"I've seen it!" Omega grinned. "But you'll have to go looking for it."
"That's not very helpful of you." You teased, poking her side gently. "Alright kid, fess up. Don't make me tattle on you to Hunter."
Omega just shrugged innocently. "Maybe you should try looking below deck." She offered. Without another word, she skipped back towards the cockpit to chat with Tech.
You frowned, but listened to her, dropping below into the tiny cargo hold space. You looked around for a few moments before spotting a scrap of blue fabric sticking out from behind a few crates of ammo.
You rounded the corner, about to snatch up your hoodie, when you realized it was attached to someone.
Echo was asleep on the floor, back against the wall, hood pulled over his head and arms wrapped around himself, looking at peace for the first time in weeks.
You smiled, kneeling down to his level and touching his arm gently. The trooper jolted, eyes snapping awake as his metal limb jerked towards you defensively before recognizing you.
"Stars," He mumbled, sleep still half-clogging his voice. "Lucky you don't get killed, sneaking up on people like that."
"Sorry, I didn't mean to startle you." You said, sitting down beside him. "That can't be very comfortable, why not sleep in a bunk?"
"I uh..." Echo hesitated. "I didn't want you to see I took this." He mumbled, embarrassed. "I'm sorry, I didn't - it just gets kriffin' cold up there and I can't stay warm like I used to, I was just going to sit here for a minute but I guess I fell asleep."
You smiled, finding his flesh hand and giving it a gentle squeeze. "You don't have to apologize." You told him. "Why don't you keep it? If it helps you sleep, I want you to have it."
"No, no I can't do that -."
"Yes you can." You insisted, patting his knee gently and giving him a quick peck on the cheek. "It's all yours. Now, go get some sleep in a real bunk before you throw out your back."
"Not sure I've got much spine left to throw out." Echo quipped, his cheeks flushed slightly from your kiss. You knocked him playfully on the arm, leading him back up from below deck.
Your clothes looked nice on him, you decided. He looked comfortable. Cozy. At peace.

How about Aizawa and Shirakumo? If you don't mind, that is!
hi hi hi hello dear!!! sorry for the delay in answering this i had to binge vigilantes so i could respond to this with some accuracy and now i’m crying - send me a bnha character or ship and i’ll give u my thots (x)! check out what i’ve already done (x)
here was my strongest thought about these two: shirakumo, had he lived, would’ve been the mirio to aizawa’s amajiki. where aizawa continued to feel less than competent, like he had no real path forward, shirakumo would’ve been the one encouraging him (and in a way, i guess he did)
shirakumo first of all let me just say ya boi oboro was horny for literally everyone all the time. my fave aspect of him. i still am cackling that our first intro to him as a character was how mic had his hands on aizawa and oboro was like ‘oo can i join?’
anyway i think shirakumo was, for a while, the only person who could actually make aizawa smile? i think he had a level of maturity/calmness that mic didn’t have yet, and he knew not only when and how to make a joke that aizawa would (begrudgingly) appreciate whereas, up until oboro’s death, mic was more likely to just be annoying (not that aizawa disliked him necessarily but he was more easily annoyed by mic)
i think shirakumo would’ve been the one to tie the three of them together, too, after graduating. and u bet ur ass shirakumo would go out of his way to do all kinds of little things that aizawa would appreciate - not the loud and obnoxious kinds of declarations of love or w.e but bringing him his favorite food after a patrol, making sure he’s awake on time (and that he actually takes time off), and the like
where i think mic is a polar opposite of aizawa, making their relationship one of meeting in the middle, i think shirakumo has more tact in how he acts with aizawa? like, giving him gentle nudges ouside his comfort zone until that zone expands
i don’t think aizawa would be the same person he is if shirakumo had lived as shirakumo. not that he wouldn’t be similar, but i think he’d be more inclined to smile. he’d be the UA teacher everyone hopes they’ll get cause he’s tough but undoubtedly the best (and if you’re lucky, they say that the pro hero loud cloud likes to stop by sometimes and take over the class for a day, which is an absolute blast)
i also don’t think shirakumo would be particularly secretive about him and aizawa? he wouldn’t answer questions in interviews about it or anything but he also has no problem with the regular insinuations that he and aizawa are together. he tends to laugh them off without actually answering, which works fine for aizawa. he secretly kind of enjoys the fact that shirakumo is so popular but he leaves aizawa out of the limelight
they have many cats also (both at the agency and home) like ofc they do but it’s never cause aizawa brings them home, it’s always shirakumo and aizawa’s starting to wonder if he really finds them all out on the street/they follow him home/any other excuse oboro’s given him or if they’re just cause he knows how much aizawa loves cats
oh yeah it took aizawa like ten years to figure out shirakumo was flirting and this is how it went down:mic: hey u know oboro likes u rightaizawa: i mean yeah ofc we’re friends?mic: no no. like. he likes youaizawa, confused: yeah, that’s what i said? we’re friends?mic: he wants to kiss you u idiotaizawa, speechless and blushing: ?????mic: have u really not noticed???? damn shoutamic: he literally said the other day that he wanted his hands all over uaizawa: WDYM HE’S JUST LIKE THAT WITH EVERYONEmic: oh my god ur literally hopelessaizawa’s then like HYPERAWARE of every interaction with oboro until oboro calls him out on it and he’s like WHAT HAHA WHAT DO U MEAN I’M ACTING WEIRD HAHA NO I’M NOT and oboro just stares at him with a quirked eyebrow until he caves and is like ‘mic said u were flirting but i know ur just like that with everyone right?’ and oboro’s like slkfjklsdj wait u didn’t realize i was flirting with you???? damn and i thought i was coming on too strong
aizawa then definitely freaks out but oboro’s just like yo look if u don’t like me that way i’ll stop just say the word and aizawa’s like hhhhhhhhhhhh can’t do that cause i actually like you back and oboro’s like OH PERFECT CAN I KISS U NOW which sends aizawa into full amajiki mode. which leaves oboro like ‘oops lmao sorry was that too much? this is the first time i’ve ever really liked someone’ and aizawa’s like U LITERALLY FLIRT WITH ANYTHING THAT HAS LEGS WHAT DO U MEAN and oboro’s like nah that’s just like. joking around. you’re the only one i really actually flirt with
this leads to them taking it completely at aizawa’s pace (with only minimal nudging from oboro as previously mentioned and a LOT of external nudging from mic) and he ends up being the one to kiss oboro first cause he kinda keeps expecting oboro to do it but he doesn’t and aizawa gets impatient and rationalizes it by the fact that they’re dating and that’s what people who are dating do. it takes oboro totally off guard and aizawa’s p sure that’s the first time he’s actually seen oboro blush and oh aizawa’s wondering how much fun he can have with making oboro blush (since he’s usually the one making aizawa blush)
ahem anyway we were robbed of a beautiful aizawa/shirakumo relationship and i cried and that’s all thank u for sending this dear!!!

hi! i was just wondering how long it took you to learn japanese and korean??
Hi there nony, I don’t speak Korean at all except for the most basic stuff. I studied Korean for two semesters at university (it was just a 90 minutes class every week) but that was 8 years ago and since I’ve never used my knowledge after I stopped taking that class I forgot almost everything again (except for reading hangul and knowing conversation basics). It’s a pity though because my Korean teacher back in the day (a wonderful lady) was convinced that if I went to Korea I would become one of those popular foreign ladies on TV in no time. lmao
As for Japanese - let’s say, it has been quite the journey. I’ve never met a person who was as lazy and unmotivated when it comes to studying languages as I am. I’m always very good at learning languages in the first year because I’m motivated and super interested and suck up every new word like a sponge (@gone-with-the-bling Tehosekoitin!! ;D) but as soon as it’s going to be B2 on the CEF level scale and above I lose any will to continue studying which is a pity. I only ever studied for exams - so if one looks at my grades they must think I’m such a model student but that’s all a lie.
How quick you learn a language always depends on your motivation, what your native language is, and how much time you spend on actually learning it. I’ve seen people speak Japanese fluently in less than two years and I’ve seen people who can’t form a grammatically correct sentence after learning the language for ten years. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I’m still learning Japanese (since studying languages is a never-ending process) and want to take the JLPT N2 next year. (I already wanted to take it last year but I couldn’t bring myself to study for it *coughs*) I started learning Japanese at the end of 2012 and took a one year break in between (because I just had enough of Japanese for the time being) which you can imagine threw me back quite a bit. I try to invest more time into studying at the moment though (that’s also a reason why I translated these little anecdotes) and in the past few weeks I probably studied more Japanese than I have in the past two years combined which is good since I already notice that I made some progress. Was that answer too detailed? I’m sorry. Long story short - I’m a language loser - so I can’t be taken as a benchmark of a successful Japanese language student. ;-;
Last not but least a pro tip;  if you decide on studying either Korean or Japanese and become proficient in one of them, it’s going to be waaaaay easier for you to learn the other language as well because both languages are quite similar when it comes to grammar and vocabulary. ^^

Pros (Ethan x FemReader) fluff
Tumblr media
(( gif not mine ))
(A/n): I seriously honest to God love this request a lot
Request: *cough* so, uh... I've never requested or suggested anything before. But if you ever feel like it, could you write something where Ethan and the female reader meet at a convention or something and end up liking each other? It's okay if you don't want to though! ^_^
Warnings: lmao fluff but I do not believe I swore
_____
“So, I’m not prepared.” you mumbled aloud.
“Pardon, miss?”
Your eyes flickered to meet with the cabbie’s. Cheeks flushing with sudden realization, you apologized swiftly; claiming to have said nothing of importance.
“Alright,” they smiled back “We’re here anyway, miss. That will have to be ten fifteen, please.”
You offered him a shy smile and gave him a twenty “Thank you, keep the change.”
The driver eased you with a smile of his own and observed you leaving the cab.
You turned to wave him off politely. Shaking yourself back around, you faced a large, modern looking building.
“Vidcon...” you uttered dumbly.
Though you have already joined yourself here twice in the past, it was still a striking experience to be welcomed back.
Being a gaming youtuber certainly did have its pros.
“Okay, okay, check list.” you breathed and readied yourself.
“Wallet; check.” you tapped at your left front pocket.
“Phone; check.” you viewed your right hand.
“Bag?” looking at your messenger bag that crossed your front “Check.”
You began to smile to yourself.
The music that lulled from the large building was similar to a soft jazz with an electro mix. It calmed your nerves a bit.
‘Just go inside before you actually lose anything.’ your inner voice stated.
Shaking your head lightly, you stepped your way up to the large door where many, many people stood. Finding your way to a line you otped to wait for a bit.
Your eyes slipped across many faces and tags, walls and signs. You truly were excited for this convention; your first with a panel.
Gliding your way up to the officials, one politely asked for your day time pass.
You smiled at her and patted both of your back pockets.
Slowly, your expression seemed to drain of its original joy. You quaintly looked back at the woman and chuckled gingerly.
‘I’ve forgotten it...’ your mind hissed sourly.
“Are you a plus one, maybe?” the woman asked again.
You were about to shake your head ‘no’, before someone cut you off at the thought.
“Yeah, mine.” the man that stood directly behind you spoke up.
You didn’t venture here with any other friends and you had not planned on meeting up with anyone else prior to arriving. So the declaration came as a shock.
Your mouth moved on it’s own when you were about to deny the statement but the lady was already beaming warmly at the man and asking for his pass instead.
Spinning your head around you briefly locked eyes with him before he pushed you forward, not being able to take in his look fully.
“I told you to wait for me, idiot.” he said funnily.
“Wait, but-”
“I should get you a leash.” they laughed.
The boy nudged you all the way inside the Vidcon building. Then he stopped abruptly. You took this as an opportunity to finally turn and view him.
So you turned and there he stood with a stupid smile. He was clad in a light blue t-shirt with a lapis blue collar. His thin black jeans were cuffed at the ends to show white Chuck Taylor’s.
And his hair, was blue.
“Sorry about that.” he admitted.
“You realize you just payed for my whole day, right?” You mumbled, looking him directly in the eyes.
He smiled “Yeah, make sure I didn’t waste my money?” he joked right after.
“I- no of course not!” laughing nervously, you continued “Thank you very much.”
“Don’t mention it!”
“I am a youtuber though,” you chuckled “I have a panel today.”
“Oh! I hope to see it then,” he chanced a bigger grin “My name is Ethan.”
You struck out your hand for him “(Y/n).” lips contorting into a smile.
Ethan shook it heartily.
Eventually, you both parted ways with warm goodbyes. You hoped to face him again sooner or later, but as of right now you need to prepare for your panel.
❆   ❆   ❆
“Alright, okay, shush!” you laughed into your hand mic.
Your audience of fans quieted soon after your demand and you continued with thanking them. You told them that you were going to start with a small Q&A. The funny kind.
“If you don’t ask it in a funny voice, you don’t get an answer from me.” you declared.
Pushing back some of your (h/c) hair, you beamed at some of the hilarious voices that were strewn out during the event.
“Am I excited for one million? Ah, no, of course not. That’s a stupid question.” you scoffed. The crowd rippled with common laughter.
“Okay~! One more.” you chuckled.
Pulling your hand up, your eyes raked over the people in front of you. Finding it difficult to pick, you sighed dreamily into your microphone. Though, soon your eyes landed upon a mess of blue. Ethan.
You let your pointed finger drop on his raised hand as you face danced with familiar happiness.
Ethan coughed to begin with before a gruff voice parted his lips “Ah, are you usually forgetful?”
Head falling back with laughter, you fans seemed confused at first, but then actually recognized him.
They started to chat his name.
You laughed even harder and his face flushed with a contrast to his hair, and shirt.
“Guys, shh! Shhh! I had to sneak away from Tyler and Mark to get here!” The blue haired boy cried.
The large auditorium was charmed with even more laughter. Then, you answered.
“Yeah, I would say that I am. It’s a bummer that I can’t have more people like you around me that pay for my entire day though.”
The audience erupted with ‘awwwe’s and Ethan chuckled, scratching his neck with a dopey smile.
“That’s really all the time that I have! Thank you tons for coming out to see me, had I hope to see you all next year!”
❆   ❆   ❆
You left the back of your panel stage with a small smile. You went through one of the side exits right to the main ground.
You hoped to walk around a bit and see all the other booths and maybe meet up with your corresponding youtube friends.
“(Y/n)!”
The voice came suddenly, but you still recognized the tone to be Ethan. The smile of your face slipped into an even larger one.
“Ethan!” you called back jokingly.
Ethan met you halfway and looked at you with a goof smile plastered to his lips.
“You did great up there.” he laughed, viewing your eyes.
“Hey thanks, you made it worth it.”
Ethan’s smile never faltered as he spoke again, though his eyes did shift nervously.
“I was coming to ask if you might want to join Mark and I up on our own panel!” he blurted “I mean- of course you don’t have to, you probably are tired from just doing yours but I just thou--”
“I sure will.” you said.
“Really?” he dazed, sounding like an excited child.
“Only if afterwards you join me for coffee. I’ll pay.” you challenged, offering him a charming smile.
“Deal.” Ethan agreed.
Being forgetful certainly did have its pros.
