Tumblr media
“finally! what took you so long?” one of your coworkers asked you as soon as you entered the store.
you’re a jewelry seller, been working in the same place ever since you were young. you love your job, and love your coworkers too.
“sorry! i had some things to take care of” you said and went to get ready and start your shift.
as you got out of the workers room, you saw all of your coworkers standing outside while holding a cake, “happy birthday y/n” they cheered.
“thank you” you smiled and blow the candles.
you completely forgot that it’s your birthday today, your coworkers are always the ones to remind you, and you’re more than thankful to them, but other than eating the cake with them you’re not the person to go and celebrate on your birthday.
“what are your plans today?” one of your coworkers asked.
“finishing this shift and going to binge watch some movies” you smiled, “so boring!! go out and celebrate!!”
you shrugged them off as you saw someone familiar coming closer to you.
“sunghoon? is that you?” you asked and when you realized it’s him you waved, “hey! how can i help you today?” you smiled.
sunghoon was your classmate in college, you were good friends, but busy schedules cut you off.
you had the biggest crush on him in college, and you would definitely say yes if he ever asked you to date him, but he never did.
you spent all of your college days together, he was there for you when you needed him the most, and you promised to take care of him as long as you’re alive.
but life doesn’t always go according to your plans.
you and sunghoon share the same birth date, and you’ve spent your birthdays in college together.
you made eye contact with him and you forgot how much you missed him, all the time you spent together flashed back in your mind.
he smiled back at you and showed you his cute dimples while you tried so hard not to swoon over him.
“hey y/n! it’s been a while! how have you been?” he asked and you nodded, “nothing really changed, i’m still working here” you chuckled.
“what brought you here?” you asked.
“it’s my cousin’s birthday soon and i wanted to get him a jewelry, not something expensive and hardcore, but more like soft” he said.
“alright! let’s get to work!”
it was a bit strange for you, you can’t remember sunghoon having a cousin, but nevertheless you wanted to help him and spend some time with him.
you showed him a few jewelry which he tried on and liked a few of them, you shared full conversations which lead you to more talking and talking about whatever you had in mind.
“is that how you’re going to spend your birthday today? buying a jewelry for your cousin?” you chuckled.
“he’s very dear to me! it’s been a while since i saw him” he smiled and you nodded.
“do you think he’ll like this one or that one?” he asked, pointing at two designs that you told him you liked the most.
“what kind of a person he is?” you asked, “each jewelry has to match its owner”
“he’s shy, but really cute, also smart and pretty” he chuckled, “if you were him which one you’d pick?”
“i’d pick the bracelet, it’s really soft and not too eye catching, it matches pretty faces like yours and it’s really adding to the final touch if you ask me” you finally realized what you just said and freezed in your place.
“pretty faces like mine-“ “hey sunghoon! what are you doing here?” someone cut sunghoon off.
“jake? aren’t you supposed to be at work?” you remember jake, sunghoon used to talk about him a lot during lunch breaks, you’d laugh your ass off while listening to the funny stories sunghoon has on jake.
“i asked you a question first” jake coughed.
“i’m here to buy a jewelry for my cousin” he answered confidently, elbowing jake as if he’s trying to hint him something.
“cousin? you don’t have a cousin sunghoon what are you— o-oh” jake then looked at you and realized what was happening. he took his hand off of sunghoon’s shoulders and awkwardly giggled, “hahaha i forgot! you do have a cousin!! tell her i said hey!!”
“it’s him” sunghoon whispered, “oh yes!! tell him i said hey!” jake coughed and ran out of the store.
“i’m sorry for his—“ “so no cousin?” you crossed your arms.
sunghoon fixed his tie and awkwardly giggled, “no cousin”
“oh! you got it for yourself then? it’s your birthday after all!” you smiled, “yeah, you could say that” he nodded.
“i don’t understand” you shook your head.
“i was actually trying to find a way to talk with you” he played with his fingers, “it’s been a while since we talked, and i remember the workplace you told me you’ve been working ever since you were young”
you were a bit taken aback but you can’t deny that this man named sunghoon had such an effect on you.
you remember your college years, when you used to have the biggest crush on him, and apparently, you still have it in you.
“i didn’t know how to come up to you without sounding so weird, so i used the cousin excuse, but if i’m being honest i just missed you” he cleared his throat.
“i was actually wondering when does your shift end, and if i could finally take you out on a date” he scratched his nape.
“i’d love that, i finish in a few hours-“ “no! your shift ends now!! thank you for your hard work!!” your coworker pushed you to the workers room and closed the door after whispering a “go get your man!”
you got out of the room after you got ready and your eyes met sunghoon’s.
he was holding a box with your store’s name on it, “i know you don’t like celebrating your birthday or receiving gifts, but please accept this one, happy birthday y/n” he opened the box and you saw the bracelet you recommended him a few minutes ago.
you threw your hands on him and hugged him tightly, “i missed you so much sunghoon, happy birthday”
he hugged you back even tighter, “i missed you so much too”
“before we leave! let me get something, go wait for me outside i’ll be right back!” you said and he nodded.
you ran back to your coworker and hugged her, “thank you, i just need one last favor” you smiled and she nodded.
when you went outside to see sunghoon again, you handed him a box.
“y/n just because i bought you a present it doesnt mean you have to do it too—“ “just open it!” you pleaded and he did.
there was a bracelet that was exactly his type, the one he’d always tell you how much he wanted.
his eyes widened and he tried to fight the urge to kiss you right there and then.
“it was made a few years ago, when we were still in college, i wanted to hand it to you but i was scared, so i kept it here and swore i’ll hand it to you as soon as i get a chance” you said and he smiled, hugging you tightly again.
“i love it, thank you y/n”
“thank you for making my birthday so much better with your presence sunghoon”

| actually the worst | part 5
ao’nung x f!reader
Tumblr media
part 1 | part 2 | part 3 | part 4 | part 5 | part 6 | bonus part
summary: it’s been a month and you’re still fuming over what ao’nung did to lo’ak. however, when kiri asks you to hear him out, you find it easier to forgive him than you thought. a trip to the cove of ancestors seems to solidify the newly restored friendship and also encourages a new aspect of your relationship that you weren’t expecting. when things inevitably go wrong at the spirit tree, ao’nung plays a surprisingly strong role in getting you through the traumatic events of the night.
includes: enemies to lovers, teasing, swearing, mildly suggestive remarks, mentions of seizure/death, ao'nung being... a sweetheart?🫢
word count: 4.3k
a/n: oh my god i am so sorry this took me forever to write! the past few days have just been so busy, but it's finally done😮‍💨 i'm thinking one, maaaaybe two more parts depending on what i can come up with for part 6:)
Tumblr media
Okay, so maybe you did like him. A little. Like a minuscule amount. It was microscopic, really.
You had spent the past month fervently denying it anytime your siblings poked fun at you or when you found yourself thinking about it. However, a few days ago you were sitting on the beach, watching your siblings fool around with the Metkayina kids when you realized you had been staring at Ao’nung for an embarrassingly long time. You hadn’t spoken a word to him since the Lo’ak incident, but you’d been staring practically whenever you thought it was safe to do so. Sometimes you thought about everything you disliked about him and fantasized about punching him. Most of the time you were fantasizing about- well…
The point was that you finally decided you couldn’t deny your attraction to him any longer. But that didn’t mean you were about to let anyone else know that. Especially not him.
“[Y/N], are you coming?” Kiri’s head poked into the marui. You stopped braiding the bracelet you were working on, quickly hiding it behind your back as it was going to be a gift for Kiri’s birthday in a few days. Technically it would be your birthday too, but you preferred to celebrate her.
“Where are you going?” You asked excitedly, starting to ready yourself for what you assumed was going to be one of your nightly explorations of the island.
“Tsireya is taking us to the spirit tree!” Kiri exclaimed, clearly more than happy to be going.
“Oh…” You couldn’t help but feel slightly disappointed. You certainly wanted a chance to finally see the spirit tree of the Metkayina, something you sorely missed about home. However, you knew who would be tagging along on the journey and it was not someone you wanted to be around. “Maybe just go without me.” You mumbled.
“Nonsense, you need to go. It is important!” Your mother stood from her spot next to your dad as they finished eating their dinner together. She squatted down next you, placing a comforting hand on your leg. “You have been sulking around for many days, [Y/N]. I think it will be good for you to go with your friends.” Her smile was kind, reassuring. It’s not like you could tell her why you really didn’t want to go.
“Alright.” You caved, mustering a small smile for Neytiri before you followed Kiri out the door. She was practically skipping.
“Maybe you should make up with Ao’nung, tonight.” She said airily, and you choked on your own spit.
“W-what?” Kiri barked out a laugh, shaking her head.
“Relax. I said make up. Not make out.” Her eyes danced with laughter as you tried to ignore your heated cheeks. Even she, your trusted twin, had not been able to resist teasing you about the bane of your existence.
“Either way, it’s not gonna happen, Ki.” You pursed your lips. She smiled, looping her arm through yours.
“He’s not so bad anymore.” She was no longer teasing, but you snorted out a laugh anyway. “I’m being serious! I still don’t like him much, but you have to admit that he’s been incredibly civil lately.” She was right, of course. The Metkayina boy was still a snarky moron, but he’d actually been getting along with everyone. He’d even attempted to apologize to you, but you were making it incredibly difficult by avoiding and outright ignoring him. “Just give him a chance to talk to you, okay? You don’t have to forgive him if you don’t want to.”
“Fine,” You sighed, wishing anyone but Kiri had asked you this favour. “Though I think cutting my own leg off would be preferable to listening to him speak.”
“Listening to who speak?” You shouldn’t have been surprised that he had snuck up on you yet again. It was becoming ritual at this point.
“Is nothing I say ever private to you?” You whipped around, meeting those shining blue eyes. It was the first time you had made real eye contact with him in weeks.
“I’m going to go meet the others. I’ll let them know you guys are on the way.” Kiri whispered, giving your arm a reassuring squeeze before she took off in the direction of the beach. You swear you saw her grinning.
“So you’re talking to me now, forest girl?” Ao’nung’s deep voice was neutral, but his small smirk betrayed his satisfaction.
“Don’t get your panties in a twist. It’s not exactly my choice.” You scoffed, finding a small bit of amusement in the fact that Ao’nung didn’t know what panties were. You could see him fighting the urge to ask.
“I suppose you’re expecting me to apologize.” He finally said, looking incredibly uncomfortable. It was clear that he didn’t make apologies often.
“I suppose I am.” You echoed, crossing your arms.
“I’m sorry.” He bit out. You blinked, waiting for him to continue. The soft chirping of insects and the distant rush of the shoreline were the only sounds as the two of you stood, awkwardly staring. When it became clear that he didn’t plan on saying anything else, you let out a short, bitter laugh.
“You can’t be serious.” You turned to go, thinking about what a waste of time that was. However, you only made it about two steps before a callused but incredibly gentle hand closed around your arm, tugging you back.
“Wait.” He breathed, sighing softly. You turned slowly back to face him.
“I really am sorry, [Y/N].” You stilled at the sound of your name passing his lips. You couldn’t think of a time when he had actually said it. It was always forest girl, or freak. The way your name sounded coming from him was intriguing. He said it like a prayer. Like you were something to be worshipped. It made it difficult to pay attention to the rest of his apology.
“I don’t expect you to forgive me.” He frowned, rubbing the back of his neck. “I don’t deserve it, honestly. But I just feel really desperate for you to know that I learned my lesson that night. I kept on imagining what could have happened, how it could have turned out. I- I have nightmares about it still,” He paused briefly, looking past you for a moment as if seeing something you weren’t. Your heart clenched. “I’ve spent my whole life trying to impress people. Trying to be funny and unbothered and worthy of being the future Olo’eyktan. I don’t know when that made me into a monster, but I don’t want to be that anymore.” He swallowed deeply, nervously shuffling from foot to foot while avoiding your eyes. The sight was unbearable.
Without thinking, you stepped closer, reaching up to place your hand on his cheek. Startled, he looked up from the ground, meeting your gaze.
“I forgive you, Ao’nung.” Your words were almost inaudible, but you felt him shiver slightly beneath your touch. Slowly, his hand extended out to rest on your waist, inching the two of you closer than ever. His breathing was slow and methodic and you instinctively reached up, placing a hand over his rapid heartbeat, completely unable to look anywhere but his blown pupils. Your mind felt impossibly slow, barely registering anything other than Ao’nung’s grip on your waist and the fire it was spreading all along your body. It was when his lips brushed ever so lightly across yours- so excruciatingly close to being a kiss- that you came rushing back to reality.
“Jesus christ, I’m sorry…” You took a faltering step back, shivering at the loss of contact when Ao’nung’s hands fell away from you. “I- That-” You stumbled over your words, so utterly embarrassed that you couldn’t think properly.
“No, I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have assumed…” He shook his head, stepping back a bit.
“I mean- I’m just- I need some, like, some time.” You finally got out the words, hoping you weren’t sounding like a jerk. “You did almost kill my brother, after all.” A breathy laugh escaped your lips, but you instantly regret your words when you realized how terrible they sounded. However, they rang somewhat true. It seemed ridiculous to be macking on the boy immediately after he apologized. You didn’t want to be that desperate.
“So… can we go back to how things were, then?” He asked, his signature smirk playing at his lips. Relief flooded you as you processed his words, glad to be offered a way out of the mess you had just created.
“I don’t know,” You shrugged. “Are you willing to go back to getting your ego demolished by me?” You quirked and eyebrow, earning a scoff from him.
“You wish, freak.” He suddenly turned, starting toward the beach. “Better catch up before everyone leaves without us!”
You huffed, jogging to match to his long strides. “Maybe I can convince them to leave you behind.”
Tumblr media
No one said a thing when the two of you strolled up to the water together, looking what you assumed was at least somewhat amicable. Your friends and siblings just shared quick, knowing looks before you all mounted your ilus and started off for the cove of ancestors.
Ao’nung rode beside you throughout most of the journey, and the two of you traded sarcastic remarks and snide comments, seemingly making up for lost time. It felt good, almost normal again, and you found yourself thinking that maybe a friendship with the infuriating boy was actually possible.
"We're here!" Tsireya finally called out, slowing down to allow everyone else to catch up and take in the surroundings. It was truly an incredible sight, with the soft glow from the underwater bioluminescence and lush green vegetation, all surrounded by the jutting silhouette of large curved rocks and smaller suspended chunks of land. You glanced around at the faintly illuminated faces of your companions and a swell of contentment filled your chest. You missed your home in the forest deeply, but you felt that the ocean and its islands had rightfully won a place in your heart, and that gaping wound left by your grief was beginning to hurt a lot less.
"So beautiful." You breathed.
"Yes." Ao'nung agreed, and you turned to where he was floating, already staring at you. You flushed slightly under his gaze, wondering how long he had been focused on you.
"I think you have some drool on your chin." You quipped, and he quickly brought his hand up to his face, looking slightly alarmed. Seconds later, he caught on. His face twisted into that of annoyed amusement. The two of you had never entered this territory of playful flirting before, but he seemed game.
"Very funny, forest girl," He simpered. "And pretty bold coming from someone who's been eye-fucking me for the past month."
Your jaw slackened as everyone else burst out laughing, including Kiri, who you shot a betrayed look.
"What does that mean?" Tuk piped up from her spot on Neteyam's ilu, looking confused. It seemed most of you had forgotten she was there.
"Oh shit- I mean, it's nothing, Tuk." Ao'nung quickly backtracked, earning a threatening glare from Neteyam and another round of muffled laughs from everyone else. Even you could barely hold yourself together.
"Just don't repeat that to mom and dad." Neteyam sighed, shaking his head.
"Why don't we go to the spirit tree now?" Tsireya spoke up, still smiling. Thankfully, everyone nodded and started dismounting into the water. You swam closer to Ao'nung, lightly smacking his arm.
"Nice going, genius." You snickered and the colour in his cheeks deepened.
"Shut it." He rolled his eyes at your continued laughter, though a smile was creeping onto his lips. Eventually, he was full-on grinning, the look so genuine that it was almost shocking. The only two expressions he ever seemed to make were akin to scowling or smirking. This was something entirely new. You realized your gaze had become fixed on the curve of his lips and blushed.
"Who's drooling now?" Ao'nung laughed, settling back into his signature taunting smirk. You decided not to let an opportunity pass you by.
"Don't get any ideas, freak." You shrugged. "I was just thinking that I've never seen you smile like that." Your heart sped up as you finished your sentence.
"Like what?"
"Well... like you're actually happy. You usually just look like an asshole with a debilitating god complex." You had to round things out with an insult, thinking you were inflating his ego a little too much. He just smiled and shook his head, finally turning to swim after the others.
"If you didn't hate me so much I'd think you were in love with me." He said before he dove under the water, heading for the spirit tree.
"If you didn't act like such a skxawng then maybe I would be..." You mumbled, diving under too as you became consumed by your own thoughts. Less than an hour ago the two of you had been seconds away from kissing, but you couldn't seem to let yourself go through with it, like it was somehow offensive to the very core of your being, despite your growing feelings. So why, after such a rejection, were you unrelentingly teasing and flirting?
You had only been attempting to return to what was normal- known territory- between you and Ao'nung. Teasing each other was like breathing. But now that you understood your feelings for him, it was fun to flirt a little bit, especially because you had convinced yourself it was a harmless action, more of a game than anything else. Because you couldn't help but fear that's just what you were to him: a game to be played and won.
So that's how it would be, you decided. You would be happy to oblige in this self-indulgent game so long as it never became more. He was still the bane of your existence, after all.
Tumblr media
Connecting to the tree brought you back home both figuratively and literally. The tree of souls flashed in your memory, and with it a thousand little reminders of the life you had left behind. The first time you went hunting with your father, exploring the forest as a child with Kiri, playfully fighting with Lo'ak and Spider, bonding with your ikran, sleeping next to your family and breathing as the forest breathed with you. All of these experiences were collected in your mind like beautiful, treasured shells. It was was wonderful to have them on display.
You eventually ended up in a memory that you didn't even know you had, blinking as you trekked along one of the thick vines that connected the hallelujah mountains together. You harbored many memories like this, certainly, but this specific one felt different somehow. You strained to think of when this had taken place.
"Hurry up, slow poke!" You found yourself calling out, a laugh bubbling from your chest when someone groaned behind you. You turned your head and struggled to make sense of your companion.
"When you said you were going to show me your home, this is not what I pictured us doing." Ao'nung frowned, glancing warily over the side of the vine you both walked upon.
"No? What exactly were you picturing, then, Nung?" You queried and Ao'nung's lips split into what you could only describe as a suggestive grin. Since when the hell did you call him that? Everything about this was so strange to you. It was clearly not one of your memories at all.
"Oh, you know, maybe a little less dangerous hiking and a little more finding a secluded spot to-"
"Oh my Eywa!" You- or at least this alternate version of you- yelped, shaking your head. "Just keep walking, you sick bastard."
"Just putting ideas out there.." He chuckled, suddenly pushing forward to catch up to you. He slung his arm around your waist, pulling you into him like it was the most natural action in the world. You tried to stop alternate you from leaning into his touch, to no avail.
You leaned in closer, standing on your tiptoes to whisper into his ear. "You're so desperate, Ao'nung." He shivered.
"Only for you, forest girl."
You ripped your queue away from the tree, breathing heavily as you desperately tried to work through whatever that was. You had never experienced anything like it before, even when you connected to the tree of souls back home. It scared you.
When you had calmed yourself a little, you looked around at the others, most of whom were still connected peacefully. Ironically, only Ao'nung seemed to be finished as well, his eyes settled on you through the layers of glowing fronds from the tree. He gave you a questioning look, sending you briefly back to your supposed trek through the mountains with him. Your cheeks burned, wishing you could just forget about it entirely. Ao'nung opened his mouth to speak, but didn't get the chance when the fronds around you suddenly began flashing and pulsing.
You snapped your head around, trying to find the source of the change when your searching eyes landed on your twin. Her body was impossibly rigid, her neck bent back as she shook somewhat violently. You immediately dove toward her, disconnecting her queue from the tree as Neteyam swam up and grabbed her, pulling her upwards. You grasped onto her stiff hand, trying to still the tremors that had her fingers twitching. You briefly registered Ao'nung on the other side of her, helping Neteyam swim her to the surface.
When you all burst through the water, panting, you wasted no time in lifting Kiri onto the back of Neteyam's ilu.
"Is she breathing? Is she breathing?" Rotxo asked worriedly, and you mentally thanked him for saying what was on your mind. You couldn't seem to speak as your throat constricted with fear.
Neteyam hopped up beside Kiri and blew a few breaths into her lungs, thankfully getting her chest moving on its own again.
"Let's, go! We have to take her back!" Lo'ak yelled, urging Neteyam forward. As soon as he took off, your hand slipped out of Kiri's, leaving you even more afraid than before. Your own body was stiff, your mind running through a thousand thoughts a second. Everyone around you was mounting their ilus and taking off toward home, but you were panicking too much to even keep yourself properly afloat. Water entered your throat as you hyperventilated, your head beginning to feel extremely light.
"[Y/N]!" Ao'nung's voice sounded distant, but he was somehow directly beside you in the water, offering a hand. You grasped onto it and he pulled you quickly up next to him like you weighed nothing at all. "Just hold on, okay?" He said directly into your ear, his tone urgent but kind. Since you were in front of him, there was nothing much to grab onto except for the arm that was gripping the ilu's saddle. Evidently, that did not seem to be enough for him because as you went speeding along the water, he wrapped his free arm protectively around your waist, pulling you flush against his chest.
The ride back felt like mere minutes, thankfully, but Neteyam and Kiri were nowhere to be seen along the shoreline when you arrived. You hoped that meant they were already inside your marui and getting help.
You were so intent upon getting to Kiri quickly that you stumbled getting off of the ilu, your shaking legs nearly buckling before Ao'nung was there again, grasping onto your arm to steady you. When you found your balance once again, he let go, but stayed close behind as the two of you ran for your marui pod.
"Kiri!" You cried as you approached, catching a glimpse of her lying on the floor of the pod. There were many people scurrying around her, trying to figure out what was wrong, but they kindly made room for you to kneel beside her, taking her hand in yours once again.
"What is the matter?" You looked up frantically, searching the faces of anyone close by in hopes that they had an answer. Most of them looked just as clueless and frightened as you, including your parents. Only Ronal seemed somewhat calm, examining Kiri from her other side. You caught her eyes and a look of pity passed over her features.
"I do not know yet what is afflicting her, child." Ronal said calmly, but you grimaced at her words, your breaths once again starting to come out short and fast. "But she is stable, now. She is asleep. I believe it is her body trying to recover." You relaxed some upon hearing 'recover', but the incident was still fresh and playing over and over through your mind. You just wanted Kiri to open her eyes, to prove to you that you had not lost her.
"Just fix it!" You knew it was unfair to yell and get mad at everyone who was just trying to help, but you didn't know what else to do. You jumped a little when a warm hand rested on your shoulder from behind. Your mother's eyes were filled with worry, but she spoke gently.
"Leave us to help Kiri, [Y/N]. The Tsahìk needs space to work, my daughter." She urged kindly, gently tugging your elbow to pull you up. You reluctantly released Kiri's hand, still breathing hard. Not knowing where to go, you awkwardly spun on your heel, looking around for a better place to stand. Ao'nung caught your eye from where he stood in the doorway and gestured for you to follow him outside. You didn't really want to go far from Kiri, but the rational part of you knew it would be best, so you obliged. As soon as you stepped out the door, Ao'nung grabbed your hand, guiding you away from your marui and down the short path to the beach. You stopped when you reached the sand, the two of you just standing and staring out into the vast stretch of water. Something about it seemed to snap the last little bit of restraint in you, and you began to whimper, a fresh round of burning tears making their way down your cheeks. Your whimpers turned into loud cries mixed with hyperventilating as you lost all control of yourself. You were so far gone that you didn't even question it when Ao'nung suddenly pulled you into his arms, folding them loosely around you, as if unsure of himself. The comfort of it felt so insanely good that you pressed into him further, stretching a bit to wrap your arms around his neck. He took that as a good sign and pulled his arms tighter, forcing your head to rest on his chest as you cried.
"She will be alright. Eywa will protect her." He whispered to you, his thumbs drawing comforting circles along your back. He held you that way for a long time, not once loosening his grip on you even as you began to calm, sniffling for a bit before eventually growing silent. Your breathing fell into a slow, methodic rhythm that was somewhat in tune with the strong and steady heartbeat you could hear through Ao'nung's chest. Your eyes fluttered shut, just allowing yourself to feel the body against yours. The strength of the arms holding you in place. The smooth skin beneath your cheek. The pleasant warmth of the fingers trailing across your back. You sighed heavily, releasing any leftover tension that you had been holding in your chest.
"Don't think this means I like you." You finally said, wanting to distract yourself from thinking about your sister and spiraling again. A reprieve from the situation was necessary, at least for a little while.
Ao'nung chuckled, the sound rumbling through his chest. "Of course not." He said. "I would never be so bold."
"How come you're always so warm?" You questioned, enjoying as the heat of his touch bled into your skin.
"It's obviously because of my ridiculous good looks." You could hear the smirk in his words, and you took that as your signal to finally pull away from him, immediately regretting the loss of contact.
"What does that have to do with it?" You raised an eyebrow, skeptical, but Ao'nung just shrugged.
"Nothing. But you just admitted that I'm good looking." His smile was infuriatingly wide. You scoffed.
"I most definitely did not, skxawng. You're delusional."
"Mm, I don't think so." He said, shifting to sit down in the sand, facing the water. You followed, sitting close enough that your leg was pressed against his. Neither of you seemed to care to move away to a more appropriate distance. "C'mon, just admit that you think I'm handsome!" He nudged you with his shoulder, earning a glare from you.
"Not gonna happen, fish lips."
He gasped dramatically, throwing a hand to his chest. "I'm wounded!"
"Aw, poor baby." You mocked, jutting out your bottom lip into a pout.
"Well now you're just being rude." He deadpanned. You laughed.
"You really want me to give you a compliment?" You finally asked, and he perked up, eyes shining as he nodded.
"Alright," You sighed. "Your face is actually kind of handsome," Ao'nung opened his mouth to agree. "When your stupidity isn't screwing it up." You couldn't help but immediately burst out laughing, especially as the conceited smugness on his face twisted into a scowl.
"You're the meanest woman I've ever met." He grumbled, shaking his head.
"That's why you like me." You grinned.
"It's definitely not."
"Oh, but you admit that you do like me?"
"That's not what I said."
"Sounds like it."
"Sounds like you need to shut up."

Tumblr media
sasuke’s day didn’t go exactly how he planned it. all fucking day he’s been running around finishing missions for naruto who’s so far up his ass he feels like he gave birth to the guy. and that’s not even the main reason why he’s angry. sasuke finds it odd that no one in the entire village had wished him a happy birthday today. yeah, he may not be the most favorited, but his close friends, the ones he’s known for half his life didn’t have shit to say to him. and sasuke being sasuke didn’t bother speaking on it, assuming either they’d forgotten or simply just didn’t care. he’s been out since dawn, taking care of things for the village until the sun began to set and the area grew quiet. 
fuck it. there’s nothing much to say to anyone, he won’t even hold a grudge tomorrow. he’ll just go home and sit in solitude with you, his precious wife. let’s hope you hadn’t forgotten either. you were still asleep when he left, curled up naked under the cream silk sheets, face buried into his pillow you had snatched from his side the moment he left the warmth of your shared bed. he wanted more than anything to stay inside with you all day. cuddle, cook his favorite dish and sit by the pond in the backyard talking for hours. 
he’s exhausted when he’s facing the main door of your perfect home, only the two of you. its super dark once he walks inside, taking off his shoes before cutting on the light. he’s so in his head that he’s lost most of his ability to be aware by the people in his house. that is until he takes sight of the twenty people in his house popping confetti in the air and screaming happy birthday. sasuke is on high alert, activating the lightning blue of his chidori in his hand, hearing your voice gasping and running up to stop him.
“baby, baby, chill!” the softness of your palms encase the heat in his cheeks, lowering his face to yours to look into those big, pretty eyes of yours. wide with panic. sasuke immediately comes to his senses and relaxes, his many friends surrounding his home trying to maintain their smiles.
“oh, fuck me . . . i’m sorry,” sasuke apologizes to you first, kissing your forehead and pulling you in for a tight hug. “i hate surprises.”
“you hate everything!” naruto exclaims behind you, causing you to laugh into your husbands chest, squeezing his arm and nestling your face in his chest. both of you needed one another’s warmth.
“you included,” sasuke jokes. naruto growls, ready to throw the two-tiered birthday cake in his hand at his face. the candles are still lit, awaiting sasuke’s wish before they’re blown out and they can all finally enjoy the party they’d been arranging all day.
“we wanted to do something nice for you,” sasuke listens to you explain. “sorry for their lack of care today. we were all just really focused on keeping it as secret as possible.”
you understood him so well. maybe they all did realize he was upset about it all day. sasuke smiles endearingly, thanking everyone in the room before sakura is unable to contain her excitement and pleads for sasuke to blow out his candles. he keeps you in his hold, closing his eyes to pretend he’s making a wish, because to be honest, he didn’t need a new one. you and his family were enough.
your traditional spaghetti, a few slices of cake, and an overly amount of liquor swirled in his system by the end of the night. spending most of the time conversing with your friends, drinking and laughing. sasuke had a hard time keeping his hands to himself. constantly trying to grope your body, reaching his hands under your dress and having to swat his hands away. he’d even bite your neck and when one of the guys caught him he’d play it off as if he was snuggling you. everyone knew it was a lie. sasuke could never handle his liquor and when he’s drunk he’s the horniest man known.
while most of everyone was outside on the patio, sasuke took this change to drag you to the bedroom, locking the door for obvious reasons. he didn’t want to be disturbed. he only needed you quick and without anyone noticing the two of you were gone. though that was impossible. it’s his own party.
“i needed you so bad,” sasuke kisses over your face and neck with a heavy tongue following, hot hands lifting your sundress over the globes of your ass he spanks after aggressively bending you over the mattress.
“i need you more,” you can’t help but to give in, melting in his touch. your hips ache as his fingertips trace over your skin, hooking a finger under your lacy red thong, an opposite contrast to the yellow dress on your flourished skin, and tugging them down until they hit your ankles.
sasuke pulls his heavy cock from his briefs and taps your ass cheek with it, biting his lip and groaning unintentionally loud. he’s so hard it’s unbearable. precum leaking from the engorged, fuchsia colored head. he lays it on your backside, sliding his left hand under your stomach and up to your neck he grasps before pressing his mouth to your cheek, breathing unsteadily.
“get that pussy wet for me,” sasuke lands a hot hand on your ass hard, a salacious moan pulling from you as you look into his eyes while you suck on your fingers, coating them with your saliva before reaching underneath yourself and sinking them into your cunt, pumping while he grinds his hips.
the silent room echoes with nothing but the slickness of your slick pussy and heavy breathing. the hairs on your neck and the goosebumps running along your arms heighten with every strike sasuke lands on your ass, humming as you whimper and fuck yourself, his hits vibrating straight to your throbbing clit.
“m’ready, ‘ke. needa feel full,” the way you say his name with such sultry in your voice while dragging your cum covered fingers over the tongue that sticks out of your mouth fucks him up. he could cum on sight.
“yeah? it’s empty? it needs my cock?” he hits your ass again after you whine about it, by now the right side bruised and red. taking a chunk of the left, his long fingers are sprawled, gripping hard and angling his waist back to slide slowly into you inch by inch.
“whimper and i’ll go deeper,” his brows are bent low, focused on your pussy suctioning him, the vein on the upper side of his dick pulsating the second you arch your back and claw at the bedding, whimpering and waiting for him to fuck you just like he needed to.
when his skin collides with yours it’s like waves clashing. the way sasuke fucks you is an outer body treatment like no other. he likes to be rough about it. knows the difference between harder and faster. and he likes it hard. it’s better for him because he can feel your voice stutter and your body jolt. he can feel the drag of his cock inside of you, slow stroking as you clamp around him and try to milk him for all he’s got. hard because you cry like a desperate slut who’s getting her cervix kissed back to back. hard because he can grab you and pin you down and force you to take it while your tears soak your face, a fucked out smile curls, and your eyes are white.
“i’m bout to fuckin’ cum,” the groan is guttural in his throat, sasuke picking his pace up and fucking you faster, throwing his head back, chasing his orgasm. he gasps when you take the initiative and clap your ass back, sasuke in shock, scrolling his eyes back as you grasp onto his arm for balance.
“keep fuckin’ doin’ that,” suddenly, he pins your arm behind your back, entwining your fingers to hold hands before grabbing your neck and squeezing just enough to blur your vision, breath shaky as you rock your body back to his. “fuck. fuck.”
you can tell he’s ready to pull out with the way his weight fluctuates from yours, and you bitch about it almost instantly, crying out a whiny ‘noo, cum in me’ before using your free hand to keep his thigh to yours. sasuke loses his balance, chest to your back and all of his weight suffocating you deliciously, balls deep while his balls seize up, flat to your ass and shooting his thick load into your womb.
“babyyyy,” sasuke moans in the crook of your neck, hiccuping as his waist continues to roll into you as you cum from being so full. clenching your walls making it a task to pull back. he’s pulsating wildly inside of you, groaning and smacking your ass once more before rolling the two of you on your sides so you can breathe.
“thank you,” he smiles drunkenly.
“happy birthday, sasuke.”

Cinderella’s Bet [Part 3]
Summary: “What happened between you and Vil after that awkward moment? Was it a Cinderella happy ending?” POV: 2nd Person Pronouns: Gender Neutral Admin/Writer: Kai ⚔️ Tags: Fluff, Romance, Slight Angst, Vil Schoenheit
Word count: 1,425
Part 1 - Part 2
Happy birthday to the beautiful biatch that is Vil Schoenheit, and I hope all the Vil stans enjoy this last part!
Tumblr media
The car had stopped in front of the fence gate of Ramshackle dorm. Once again Vil helped you out of the car. He walked you to the door while making small conversation and stood behind you once getting to the door.
“So, would the Prefect like to give me some final thoughts? Or do I have to go to bed tonight unsatisfied?” His words made you smile as you began to think.
“Hmm, putting genuine feelings into words… I won’t. Sadly, I have to leave you unsatisfied.” Your response made him laugh and nod in understanding. “That’s fine. Could I get an answer tomorrow before school?”
“Sure, I’ll meet you in the courtyard before our first class.” You bowed your head and turned to go through the door, but you stopped yourself one more time.
Vil had the same idea. He stepped forward and took your hand into his. His grip was a bit strong, yet gentle to you. Both of you stared into each other’s eyes for what would feel like hours. 
A quiet alarm rang as it broke through the intimate silence. You snapped back into reality. It was midnight. The day was officially over. You took your hand back and stumbled through your thoughts. Vil quickly turned it off and immediately looked at you. “Wait—”
“Good night, Vil. Happy birthday,” you said and closed the door, leaving Vil without a chance to respond. You headed to your room for the night. While the sudden reality was harsh, you could only accept that this was just a bet at the end of the day.
Vil simply stood there with his mouth slightly agape from wanting to explain, but it was too late. He composed himself before taking one more look at the door of your dormitory. He slowly walked back to Pomefiore. The noises of the night being the only thing you could hear, and his only company before dawn.
In the morning, you woke up to a commotion outside of the dorm. You heard the voice of someone familiar, but why so early in the—
There was knocking—no, banging against the door. Before you could get up to answer it, the sorry excuse of a door flew open to reveal an orange-haired boy in front of your room.
“Cater?!” You yelled in surprise, but he was here for one purpose and one purpose only.
“Shut up, don’t ‘cAtER’ me. HELLO? I thought I was your best friend!?” Cater said and went to sit next to you on the bed, pulling you by the arms to sit up. “So, what happened???”
You moved to make yourself comfortable and took a deep breath before you began talking about the day before.
On Vil’s side? Definitely a similar situation. Different questions.
The doors to Vil’s room had slowly been opened, followed by Rook and Epel coming in with haste. “Roi du Poison! Good morning and happy birthday! Now, what happened yesterday?”
“Very headstrong and straightforward, aren’t we? I believe the right terms are “How did the date go, if you don’t mind me asking?’” 
“Yes, it is, beautiful Vil. However, I’m not here to be nice and patient. I’ve been waiting and kept in suspense since you arrived home last night! So, what happened?” Rook wasn’t there to negotiate. If the man wanted details, he wanted them right now.
“Come on, Vil! You came back to the dorm so quietly last night. Rook and I were lucky to be walking around or we wouldn’t have caught you,” Epel said. They both stared at the housewarden with anticipation.
Vil sat in front of his vanity and recalled what happened last night to the two, not trying to leave out too many details.
Back over with Cater, the room was filled with silence once you finished retelling yesterday’s events. “So… Yeah. It was just a bet,” you said and Cater shook his head after.
“Nope. Get ready for classes.”
“What?” You questioned as he pulled you out of bed, grabbing your uniform and shoes. 
“You’re going to the courtyard as soon as you’re decent in that uniform. Come on, I’ll be waiting outside of your room.”
With that, Cater left and you began to get ready.
With Vil on the other hand?
“WHAT?!” Rook and Epel exclaimed at the same time after hearing Vil’s side of the story. The latter shot Epel a pointed look at his obvious country accent. By the time the tale was done, Vil was ready for classes.
Rook pulled his housewarden up and slightly began pushing him to the front door along with Epel.
“What are you two doing?!” Vil yelled, but he couldn’t stop the duo from continuing their shenanigans. 
“I say—Go to the courtyard and wait for them. Don’t be like this!” Epel said, coughing to hide the accent leaking out from his frustration. Rook followed by saying, “Exactly what Monsieur Pommette said. What if they’re waiting for you? Vil, do you have the heart to leave them without a proper explanation?”
Vil stopped them and sighed, rubbing in between his eyes in slight annoyance. “Fine, fine. I’ll go. However, I will leave if they aren’t there within 5 minutes of my arrival,” Vil said, then headed for the Hall of Mirrors.
Epel pulled out his phone and showed Rook the screen, blaring a message from Cater that read, “Prefect is on the way. I hope it’s the same over there!”
“I don’t think our queen will have to worry about that part,” Rook said before going off to make sure the dorm was in order. As tempted as he was to witness the beautiful display of two lovers uniting together, Rook knew Vil would scold him if he fell prey to his own whims.
Vil made his way to the courtyard quickly. While he didn’t want to admit it, he was curious if you would actually show up as well. 
The place was empty, or so he thought when he first entered. The apple tree was blossoming, and the plants were in perfect condition as always. Yet his eyes stopped admiring the scenery as soon as they landed on something all too familiar to him.
He slowly walked up to the well where his gaze stayed on one thing the entire time: a figure.
His heart skipped a beat just knowing his secret wish had come true. He called out your name quietly, as if he was scared to make you run off like an animal in the middle of an unknown forest.
Hearing your name, you immediately turned around and was greeted with an all too familiar face. It was deja vu all over again.
His gem-like amethyst eyes enchanted you once again. It felt like a curse being bestowed upon you, but with the condition to be by his side.
"Vil…"
"Prefect."
Both of you looked at each other and smiled. A small blush came up to your cheeks. The feeling was cut short when you remembered what happened the night before.
As if he read your mind, he stepped close to you and took your hand. "I'm sorry for last night. Listen… I'm not sure how to explain this—"
"I know that last night was just because of a bet, and I've accepted that. Please, you don't have to explain anything. Here's what I think, though..." You paused. You looked down to take a deep breath.
Vil was surprised, but filled with anticipation. He didn't know what to expect, but it felt like a rush.
You looked up into his eyes with a gentle smile.
"I did fall for you. I'm falling in love with you, Vil. I loved our date. I really loved the time we spent together, and I hoped we could be something more, even if that date came from a bet. I—"
You were stopped in your tracks by a warm feeling around you. Vil’s arms had wrapped around your body tightly into a close hug, and his lips were against your own.
Your eyes closed and you slowly melted into the gesture once your shock came down. The affection lasted for a while, but why was he doing it? Was this out of pity? You could feel his emotions, but you still weren't convinced.
He broke the kiss, yet kept the hug. His eyes softened as he stared into yours. His gloved hand caressed your cheek. His smile was genuine and it was clear, but you wanted reassurance.
"What…?"
"Don't worry. I fell in love with you a long time ago."

Tumblr media
Jack Daniels smiling openly on a Monday morning was undoubtedly not a common event at Statesman Distillery; he was not the kind of boss who treated his staff as if he was better than them, far from it, but the most probable mood one could find him was being solemn. From everyone surprised by the sight of the smiling cowboy, Ginger for sure was the more shocked one when Jack entered her lab, friendlier than ever.
“Good morning, Elizabeth.” He greeted her with an almost concerning wide smile.
“Did you hit your head on your way here?” She asked raising an eyebrow.
“Why is so strange that I’m happy in this beautiful morning?” Jack questioned laying his hands on his hips.
“Because you’re usually insufferable on Monday mornings, and on Tuesday mornings, and the rest of the mornings on the week.” Ginger had a straight expression on her face while answering; she was telling the truth after all.
“You might be right, but I suppose it’s never too late to change.” Disturbingly to her, he still sympathetically smiling.
“If you say.” She shrugged “Anyway, what do you want?”
“Just came to know if the samples of bourbon from our new fermentation process are ready for the presentation tomorrow.”
“They are.” Ginger confirmed while grabbing two small bottles, and handing them to him “These were left over, in case you want to take ’em to Champ to have a look.”
“You’re the best, Ginger Ale.” Jack answered excitedly, grabbing the bottles “What would we do without you?” He said and started to walk towards the automatic door that was opened while Tequila entered the lab “Good morning, Michael. Ain’t it an amazing morning?” Jack patted Tequila on the back while passing by his friend and walked through the hallway.
“Did you drug him?” Tequila asked with a frown, looking at Ginger.
“Trust me, nothing that I could ever develop for the agency or the distillery would make such an effect.” Ginger said with a slightly confused expression.
“Doesn’t make me any more relieved.” Tequila said shaking his head.
Tumblr media
Ana sat again at her desk, letting the mug of coffee, the second in that morning, on the wooden surface while turning her attention back to her computer. She loved her job, but some parts of it could drain her energy, and registering test grades was one of those parts. Despite these little inconveniences, she hadn’t much to complain about; she worked just three days a week and it was for the pure joy of teaching, Ana could have dedicated herself only to her hobbies a few years ago, but she was too passionate by her profession to retire so early.
She couldn’t say how much time had passed when the sound of the doorbell interrupted her. Ana stood up and walked to the front door, positively surprised to see Lisa on the other side.
“I’m sorry for not warning you that I was coming.” Was the first thing Lisa said, knowing that her friend wasn’t a huge fan of surprise visits.
“Don’t worry; you’re among the persons I can forgive for showing up in surprise.” Ana smiled and gave way for her to enter “I’m just surprised you’re not at the zoo.” Ana said while closing the door.
“I’m on my lunch break and probably will get late, but is a life-or-death question and I’d not survive ‘till the end of my shift to come talk to you.” When Lisa mentioned the lunch, Ana looked at her watch, just now realizing that was later than she imagined.
“Well, I’m curious. What can be so urgent?”
“Is there any chance I left that ring that my father gave me here when I came to pick you up on Friday?” When she finished the question, Lisa saw Ana lay a hand on her forehead and it gave her a little hope.
“You did. I found it at the bathroom sink.” Ana said while opening the drawer of the sideboard, grabbing the jewelry, and handing it to Lisa “I was planning to text you yesterday, but I got a little distracted.”
“Thank you for saving my life.” Lisa said putting the ring on her finger “But you’re gonna tell me that now you work on Sundays too?”
“I never said I got distracted with work.” Ana raised her eyebrows with a suggestive expression. Lisa thought for a moment, realizing what Ana meant.
“You were with Jack?” Took Lisa a bit of effort to not freak out when Ana nodded “The good Lady above heard my prayers. I thought I’d die before seeing you saving a couple of horses.”
“I hate you sometimes and I hope you’re aware of that.” Ana rolled her eyes despite her discreet smile “Before you proceed, it wasn’t this kind of date. We just went out for dinner, that’s all.”
“Doesn’t change my euphoria about it.” The excited expression on her face confirmed what she said “So, how was it?”
“Well…” Ana thought for a moment before just letting it all go “It was incredible. He’s an amazing listener, has good taste in music, we agree on a lot of important stuff and he’s an old-school gentleman.”
“So, everything you love in a man.” Lisa wasn’t surprised by their compatibility but was happy with Ana’s excitement.
“And the cherry at the top of the cake was his invitation to spend this next weekend at his ranch with a suite all to myself and a lot of animals to pet.” Ana sounded satisfied while said it.
“I’ll expect a detailed email about this on Monday.” Lisa warned while walking towards the door.
“You’ll be lucky if I send you a text.” Ana raised her eyebrows, opening the door for Lisa.
“As long as I had any clue of how it went, you can send the information in a mail pigeon.”
Tumblr media
Throughout the week, Ana and Jack exchanged a considerable number of messages, combining things like what hour they would leave for the ranch. When Friday finally came, Ana made sure one last time that everything was in place and that she wasn’t forgetting to pack anything.
She combined with Jack that they’d leave at 2 pm, aware of his punctuality, she was already waiting in the living room. When, through the window, she saw the Bronco parking in front of her house, Ana got up and opened the door. The realization that it would be an intense weekend hit her like a truck when she saw him getting out of the car and walking towards her in that all-jeans look; the combo of the black Stetson with aviator sunglasses itself should be considered criminal for making him look that good, but Jack for sure knew what he was doing when he chose to wear a denim jacket with those goddamn tight jeans pants that he seemed to love to use.
Jack was considerably close to her when he took off his sunglasses and left them hanging on his shirt. The politest he was, he couldn’t help but take a look at her; the well-thought-out choice of boots, jeans, and a leather jacket confirmed that Ana was truly familiar with the rural environment. He took off his hat when stood in front of her, smiling openly.
“Good afternoon, darlin’.” He sounded gallant as always.
“Good afternoon, handsome” Ana allowed herself to look better at Jack now that he was close “Seems that I finally got you in the full cowboy mode.”
“I could say the same ‘bout you.” He answered with a smirk, holding one of her hands and planting a kiss on the back of her fingers “So, ready to go?” He asked while slowly letting go of her hand.
“Yes, just give me a second.” She said with an excited smile and went back into the house, grabbing her travel bag and looking around one last time to make sure she didn’t forget anything. Ana walked back to the door and left the bag on the wooden floor of the porch to grab something in the sideboard that Jack couldn’t see what it was while he promptly grabbed her bag. He was for sure confused when she got out and closed the door with one hand, while in the other she was carrying a thermos with a pump and something that looked like a wooden cup that wasn’t familiar to him. They walked to the Bronco, as usual, he opened the door for her and closed it after she got in, he carefully placed her bag on the back of the car and walked around, getting in too. After putting his hat and sunglasses back, Jack started to drive, alternating his attention between the street and Ana, deadly curious about that wooden object that had a kind of metal straw on it and was filled with something that looked like matcha powder.
“What is this?” The curiosity won and he had to ask.
“It’s called mate or chimarrão.” Ana answered after taking a sip of the drink “Traditional drink from southern Brazil.”
“What is it made of?” 
“Just hot water and erva-mate or Ilex Paraguaiensis, if you’re into botanic. And just this was enough to make me addicted to it.”
“So, is a kind of infusion; how in god’s green earth did you get addicted to it?” Jack questioned with a confused smile.
“Well, there is a considerable concentration of caffeine on this, so I think you already have your answer.” She raised her eyebrows slightly, smiling when he chuckled.
“Now you made me curious about this. Can I try it?”
“Course, just don’t blame me if you end up enjoying it and then find out how expensive is one kilogram of erva-mate in this country.” She joked while putting water on the drink, then carefully handed it to him.
“I’ll take the risk.” Jack answered while grabbing the “cup”, taking a first sip and pondering for a moment “It reminds me a little bit of green tea, but tastes better actually.” He said before taking another taste of the mate “By the way, I’d like some explanations ‘bout this cup.”
“It’s a cuia, basically a dried calabash gourd.”
“I’ll already apologize if end up asking too many questions because I’m really curious about the mate and is pleasing to hear you mixing English and Portuguese while you speak.” He admitted raising his eyebrows and took another sip of the drink.
“Considering that you didn’t give up after the first taste of it, I’ll probably keep talking ‘til you get too caught by the subject to be brought to the mate side.” Despite the joking tone, Ana was a bit serious.
“To be honest, I enjoyed this more than I was expecting.” Jack drank the last sip of the mate then handed the cuia back to her “May the erva-mate be with you.” He smiled when she busted into laughter, laying her head on her hand.
“For a second I thought you wouldn’t get my shitty joke.” Ana admitted when she stopped laughing.
“Don’t underestimate my ability to recognize questionable humor. I saw this one coming with no effort, darlin’.” Jack stated with that smug manner that would be insufferable coming from most people, but that man for sure knew the limit to being like that in a fun way, without becoming gross.
Tumblr media
The next hour passed like nothing while they talked about some random topics and cracked a few more dubious jokes. When the car entered the propriety and the ranch became more visible, Jack could see Ana’s face shining with excitement while she looked around, not wanting to miss anything. Once he parked in front of the house and they got out of the car, both of them could hear the crazy barking of the dogs and it didn’t take long till the animals appeared.
“Here come the kids.” Jack said while observing the two dogs running towards them like there was no tomorrow.
“Will be harder than I was expecting not to kidnap them.” Ana admitted already melted by the dogs. As expected, they started to insanely smell Jack while shaking their tails furiously and whimpering. Jack stooped, doing the best he could to give both dogs the attention and rubs they wanted. After a while, they calmed down a little bit, but it was just for a few seconds before they turned their attention to Ana, sniffing her and giving those excited little jumps to catch her attention. She didn’t think twice before squatting to caress them; not surprisingly she ended up falling sitting on the ground when both dogs tried to get closer to her at the same time. At that point, she believed she could collapse with the cuteness of the Australian Cattle and the Bernese Mountain dog that, at this point, were too comfortable asking for belly rubs or head scratches.
“I hope you know that they’ll pursue you.” Jack said observing the scene with a smile.
“And I’ll be delighted with it.” Ana mentioned with a smile while hugging the Bernese seated next to her and felt the dog’s nose bump her neck when she stopped caressing his head “Calm down, baby. I didn’t forget you.” She said caressing one of the dog’s ears and grabbing the small silver plate on his collar “Your name is Gus, little one.” Gus seemed more than happy to hear her calling him by his name, shaking his tail vigorously. The other dog, who was comfortable sat on her lap, laid one paw on Ana’s shoulder, wanting attention too “Okay, okay, I’ll give you some love too.” Ana smiled while rubbing the dog’s neck, paying attention to the plate on her collar “And this beautiful girl is Lola.” A lick on her chin and a happy shaking tail were the answers she got from Lola.
The few times someone visited the ranch, Jack may have gotten a little bit jealous when his dogs turned their attention to them, but this time, he couldn’t be happier. Watch Ana sit on the grass playing with Lola and Gus melted parts of his heart that he didn’t even know were still alive; he was fully aware that he was possibly starting to have a huge crush on her and the fact that she was so pleased and excited just for being there and give the dogs a couple of belly rubs didn’t make things easier for Jack to stop the growing feeling.
A few minutes later, the two dogs finally calmed down and lay on the ground next to Ana.
“Am I finally allowed to leave you guys and go to see the rest of the ranch?” She asked looking at them, smiling at how calm they were after a lot of little jumps “I’ll take this as a yes.” 
“Trust me, they’ll be freaking out again very soon.” Jack said holding out a hand to her.
“Can’t say I don’t like to know this.” Ana admitted, holding his hand and getting up, patting her jeans with her free hand to take off the dust.
“Nothing that I haven’t noticed already.” He smiled, intertwining their fingers as they started to walk. As they got closer to the wood fence, they saw a horse running excitedly, stopping when he went to the fence, walking back and forth while shaking his head.
“Seems that our boy Horace is excited.” Ana said at the moment she recognized the Clydesdale horse, he was all black, except for the white stockings in the four paws and the white blaze on his face.
“I owe him a couple of rides, to be honest, and his energy seems to be always at the highest level possible. I’m surprised he didn’t jump the fence.” Jack mentioned as they got closer to where the horse was. When they got close, Horace already had passed his head over the fence “Put yourself together, boy.” Jack said while caressing Horace’s head making the horse finally calm down.
“I wonder if he’ll forgive me for being the reason why you were in the city last weekend.” Ana joked while observing the scene.
“Give him a carrot and a little bit of attention and he becomes your best friend.”
“Will be easier than I was expecting then.” She said while slowly approaching her hand to the horse; Horace turned his head to her when noticed the approaching and stood still as she touched him and rubbed his neck, making Horace lean slightly towards her hand “I’m starting to doubt about how much what I’ve heard about your behavior was true, Horace.”
“He’s just a good actor.” Jack said with a wide smile, observing their interaction.
“We’ll see about it.” Ana raised her eyebrows slightly, turning her head when she heard another horse approaching them “If I’m not mistaken, you’re Crystal.” She said while approaching the white quarter horse mare, rubbing behind her ear.
“By the way, she’ll be your horse for the weekend.” Jack smiled a little more when Ana turned her look to him with an excited expression “And judging by your amusement, I imagine that you’ll not be offended if we go to a ride now and leave the rest of the tour for tomorrow.”
“You didn’t mention that mindreading was one of your skills.” She said with narrowed eyes and a sideways smile.
“I’m a man of many talents, sweetheart.” He winked at her with a smirk.
They took the horses to the stable; it was safe to say that Horace was already bonded with Ana since he didn’t miss a chance to lay his head on her shoulder while they were waiting for Jack to saddle Crystal. Jack couldn’t be more pleased with all that: his beloved horse becoming friends with the woman who had a high chance of becoming the lady of the house. Fine, now he was starting to think too far, but, at the same time, Jack allowed himself to be a little bit self-indulgent, it had been a while since the last time he enjoyed feminine company in these circumstances; and the fact that she enjoyed those things as much as him just made Jack more pleased. Once both of the horses were saddled, they went outside the stable; despite being too excited, Horace behaved like a gentleman while Jack talked with Ana.
“So, how much do you remember about horse riding?” Jack asked already imagining the answer.
“Well, I remember the very basic, like tapping the horse’s side gently with the heel to make him move, moving the reins across his neck to make him turn to the sides and pull back the rein to make him stop.” She said after thinking for a moment, feeling a little relief when he smiled.
“You know the essential then.” He couldn’t hide his excitement “And tomorrow I’ll teach you how to saddle a horse.”
“I don’t know if it’s safe for Crystal to let me saddle her.” Ana joked with a smile.
“Is easier than it seems.” He assured “So, couple of additional reminders: never approach ‘em from behind. Crystal and Horace are the most peaceful animals in this world, but it may scare them and they can try to kick you. Giving them a snack, always keep your palm flat ‘cause they can confuse your fingers with food and bite you.” Jack explained with a calm voice and the certainty of one who knows what he was talking about; it for sure demanded Ana a bit more attention to register the information, once he looked more gorgeous than ever while spoked with such propriety of the subject. “Another thing. Do you want to try to mount by yourself or want a hand?”
“Well…” Ana knew that she didn’t have practice enough to mount without help. She looked around for a moment and found her solution “I’ll try my luck.” Intrigued, Jack observed while she calmly made Crystal take a few steps to stop next to a tree stump and then used it as her mounting block, getting mounted without any problem.
“You really have been raised in the country.” Jack said with a smirk and mounted on Horace. 
They started the ride at a slow pace and it was more than enough to make Ana look like a child with a new toy; Jack couldn’t take his eyes off her and occasionally gave her one or other advice, especially about the right posture and hand placement. When he noticed that Ana had gained confidence, Jack encouraged her to make Crystal go from walking to canter and, as he expected, she didn’t flinch before did it, smiling openly when Crystal started the canter.
“I don’t wanna be too abused, but we’ll have to negotiate another visit.” Ana said while looking at Jack with a wide smile.
“Darlin’, you’re welcome to come back anytime you want.” Jack answered in a warm tone, smiling at her.
“If I end up stealing your dogs, don’t blame me.” She joked and looked around “Tell me that you didn’t forget to tell me that you have sheep.” Ana said while looking at the little group of animals a little further away.
“Will you forgive me if I tell you that I also forgot to mention that there are a couple of babies?” He asked raising an eyebrow.
“If I can pet them, I forgive you.” 
“Problem solved, then.” When the horses got closer to the field section where the sheep were, they got off the horses and approached the fence. As he was accustomed to do, Jack jumped the fence and when he was about to turn to offer help to Ana, she was already by his side. “I never doubted your country skills, but I can’t deny that I’m having a couple of positive surprises.”
“Don’t expect me to know the difference between an Île-de-France and a Merino sheep, but I have a bit of expertise when it comes to surviving in the country.” Ana looked down when something nudged her leg.
“Have the pleasure to become familiar with an Île-de-France then.” Jack said referring to the sheep standing in front of Ana smelling her.
“Don’t give me so much incentive if you don’t want to stay here for the next three hours.” She said while starting to scratch the sheep’s head. A couple of minutes later, a little lamb appeared and was happy to be rubbed on his face, shaking his little tail very much like a dog would do. Ana couldn’t be more pleased with the whole thing; as if all the adorable and friendly animals weren’t enough to amaze her, the fact that Jack had so much way with animals and seemed so satisfied to be among them just made everything more pleasing. After she had met the rest of the sheep and petted all of them, they finally went back to the horses and only then Ana realized that she had a problem to solve. “I should’ve brought a tree stump with me.” She let out a chuckle despite the little despair growing in the pit of her stomach.
“Don’t worry, assistance to mount is between one of my skills.” Jack said with that convinced smile, standing next to her.
“I don’t doubt.” She was still smiling discreetly despite feeling her heart starting to beat a little faster, hoping he didn’t notice how nervous she was starting to get “But is not a good idea.”
“Why not?” He asked raising one eyebrow with a curious smile.
“C’mon, don’t pretend I’m the only one aware that I’m too heavy for this kinda thing.” Ana laughed quietly, expecting him to join her “joke”, but instead he seemed to be just pondering everything while running his tongue across his lips.
“I’ll vehemently disagree and, after all my nursing services the night we meet, I have the propriety to talk ‘bout it.” Jack said calmly with a soft smile.
“I know but-” Her consideration was interrupted when Jack passed one arm around her waist and the other behind her knees, taking her off the ground with no effort. “Jack!” she couldn’t hold back a laugh and passed her arms around his neck.
“I can go as far as necessary to prove my points.” He said with that cocky smile that suited him so well.
“Fine, I don’t think I can argue with that.” Ana couldn’t help but look at his mouth for a second, just now realizing how close they were, a fact that Jack had already noticed and was doing his best to deal with; if it was true that existed a god above, he knew how much Jack wanted to kiss her, the feeling of having her in his arms and her perfume invading his sense of smell didn’t make things any easier, but he wouldn’t risk screwing it all.
“Very good, ‘cause I don’t lose an argumentation.” Jack finished the sentence with a wink and carefully put her back on the ground “Now, we’re gonna put you on Crystal’s back.”
“I hope you know that I don’t have much practice on this part of the mounting.” Ana admitted frowning slightly.
“Don’t worry, there’s no mystery.” He assured calmly, standing next to her “Just bend your leg.” He said patting her left knee, she did as he said and held the saddle with more strength as she felt his hands on her knee and ankle. “Now you just bounce up and I’ll lift you.”
“If both of us end up in the ground, I will blame you.” She said while holding the reins properly.
“I can deal with that.” Jack answered with a smile before helping her mount, smiling a little more when she got easily mounted.
“Well, I think I’ll owe you this one.” Ana said, observing Jack mount on Horace.
“Don’t worry, I’ll think carefully ‘bout how I’ll charge you.” He joked before they started to ride again.
When they went back to the ranch the sun was already going down, after taking the horses to the stable, they went to the house. Jack guided Ana upstairs to her bedroom and, after being sure she would be comfortable, he went to take a shower. Finally, alone, Ana took a better look at the ambiance and hadn’t any doubt that she had been accommodated in the master bedroom of the house. At this point was clear to her that, although the rural man spirit, Jack appreciated the fancy side of life; that ranch was for sure more sophisticated than a lot of city houses without losing the country aesthetic; the varnished and well-maintained wooden floor carefully combined with the wooden furniture was on perfect balance with the whole rustic chic décor of the room such as in the rest of the house.
She for sure would look to the details with more attention, but not now, despite being interested in it, Ana was more excited to spend more time with him. She couldn’t help but think that wanting to be around Jack that much could be a treacherous feeling, however, it wasn’t like both of them didn’t know why they were seeing each other; he left no doubts about being interested in her and she didn’t try to disguise that the interest was mutual. Before getting too carried away with her thoughts, Ana walked to the bathroom to take a shower.
Tumblr media
With the sleeves of his plaid shirt rolled up, Jack organized everything he’d need to cook the dinner. Hearing the sound of her coming downstairs, he smiled without even noticing and looked up when Ana entered the kitchen, feeling the genuine happiness that had accompanied him all day went back with full force at the sight of her looking so beautiful in that long floral dress.
“So, my amazing host will also make the dinner? I’m getting too spoiled.” She joked, approaching the kitchen island.
“I want to be sure that you’ll want to come back.” He answered with a smirk while opening a bottle of wine.
“I’m already convinced to come back, but go ahead.” Ana admitted and sat on one of the stools.
“This being the case, we’re at the point where I try to impress you with my domestic abilities.” Jack finished the sentence handing a glass of wine to her.
“The kind of skill I appreciate in a man, especially cooking ‘cause I’ll run away from the kitchen every chance I get.” She admitted before taking the first sip of wine.
“You’re in lucky then, ‘cause my only problem with cooking is the whole pantry-organizing thing.” He said while putting a large skillet on the stove and placing two steaks on it.
“No problem then, because I love to do this kind of organization.” Ana didn’t notice the excitement in her words with the fact that they would work well together on that, even if it was a simple thing, could turn into a problem in daily living.
“I don’t wanna sound hurried, but I’m already imagining how amazing it must be living with you.” Jack admitted with a goofy smile while grabbing a pan with cooked pasta to drain it. 
“We’re tied then because the idea of not having to ever touch a pan again sounds like heaven to me.” She said raising her eyebrows slightly and both of them laughed.
They kept talking while he prepared the food and she got herself too amazed by how effortlessly he managed to speak so eloquently while slicing the cooked steaks or how he kept his full attention on her, even while making the alfredo sauce. When the sliced steaks, the sauce, and the fettuccine were put together, she was surer than ever that Jack was putting effort into impressing her and it was working.
As the gentleman he was, Jack grabbed her by the hand while leading her to the table and pulling out the chair for her to sit. After serving the food for her and refilling her glass of wine, he sat next to her, unable not to smile when Ana didn’t flinch before grabbing the fork and trying the food; took him a second to notice that he felt relieved when she let out a satisfied sigh after close her eyes to savor the food.
“I’m ready to negotiate a deep pantry organization since you just dropped one of the best meals I've eaten in my entire life.” Ana said softly with a tender smile.
“I’ll accept the offer.” He answered after taking a sip of his wine “But in the present circumstances, I’m more in need of information.”
“Fair enough.” She agreed before eating another bite “What do you wanna know?” Ana questioned once she swallowed the food.
“You piqued my curiosity ‘bout your country origins after seeming so at home here.” Jack kept his attention turned to her while he started to eat, more curious than ever for her answer.
“My hometown is the kind of place where you’ll occasionally see horses walking around the streets and tractors are as common as cars, not to mention that most of my relatives worked in the livestock business or rice cultivation, I had no way to escape the rural environment.”
“Now it’s making a lot more sense.” He admitted with a fascinated expression “But I’d like a bit more of geographic clarification.” 
“Is a rural town called Quaraí, located at the frontier with Uruguay, in fact, the only thing that separates the two countries there is a bridge that you cross in a ten-minute walk.” She explained calmly and took a sip of wine.
“No me digas que hablas español también.” Ana had to inhale slowly so as not to choke on the wine at the very moment he said the first word in Spanish. Somehow his voice sounded even more deep and pleasant.
“No es el idioma que más domino, sin duda, pero sí.” She answered calmly as if she wasn’t in a mental debate to figure out if the heat running over her body was caused by the wine or by the satisfied smile of the man in front of her.
“Just when I thought you couldn’t surprise me anymore.” Jack smiled a little more, holding her hand that was lying on the table. 
“I think I have the right to come up with some surprises, considering that I didn’t expect you to be like this.” Ana admitted while intertwining their fingers.
“Like this?” he raised one eyebrow, squinting his eyes slightly.
“You know, even if it may have been rash of me, I wasn’t with the highest hopes about a southern cowboy.” She couldn’t help but laugh quietly “I hate to be the half-full-glass person, but my expectations are really good about this.”
“If it makes you feel better ‘bout it, my expectations are in the sky at this point.” Jack admitted with a smirk “You see, I really hope that this can turn into something serious.”
“Both of us.” She smiled widely “I’m enjoying your company a lot.”
They spent the next couple of hours talking and laughing, getting more enthusiastic as the wine in the bottle dwindled. When they decided to go to bed, they walked upstairs side to side, while talking a little more.
“I didn’t forget that you still owe me a visit to the calves.” Ana said while opening the bedroom door.
“Don’t worry, I’ll take you to see them tomorrow.” He affirmed with his arms crossed.
“You better do it if you don’t want me to steal the good boy Gus.” She raised her eyebrows.
“As if you’d need to make an effort to steal him.” He said with a charming smile and grabbed one of her hands “Have a good night, Ana.” Jack kept his look locked on her eyes while kissing the back of her hand.
“Good night, Jack.” She said with a sideways smile “And thank you for the hospitality.”
“The least I can do having the most amazing guest on my propriety.” He winked at her and kissed her hand once again before letting it go.

It's so loud and it's very overwhelming it makes me feel really bad even when I finally leave. I'm autistic and it's so hard to process all these noises sometimes. I try to cover my ears or stim but then my classmates make fun of me. That's not cool to be honest. They don't really like me and always get mad at me or make fun of me but that's okay I'll survive it somehow I just hate how loud it is.
Besties that good things happened too! I gained some new friends! I met two girls at school and we became friends.

i'm so sorry school sucks :< is there any chance that you could wear headphones in class? even noise cancelling ones to help drown out the sounds a little- i'm sure they'll be fine with it, given that it's a need for your disability <3
congrats on your new friends!!! that's awesome!! & hurray for getting into a new hobby!! i love reading, it's such a way to escape from the real world, it helps so so much <3

Character: Sunwoo x you(y/n)
Summary: It's midnight and your bestfriend is the first one who wish you Happy Birthday
Warnings: probably not good grammar, bad descriptions of the atmosphere and feelings and just the environment ( I guess still improving but I don't think i have any improvement at all ), it's gonna be probably hard to feel it again but hope you enjoy.
A/N : This is for a masterlist? Or something I don't know the name lol. The topic of that will be "10 things I love about you" with 10 of my bias and this is the first one. Proof read with Grammarly btw.
You hear a light knocking from your window, to see your best friend Sunwoo smiling brightly at you except it's night and his smile can't shine through you at midnight.
When you just stare at him not even moving an inch, he tilts his head and ushers you to open the window with his hand and he fakes being cold which you just scoff at.
Right after he came through your window you slapped him hard.
"What the hell are you doing here, Sunwoo? We have class tomorrow, weirdo" you shout murmuring at him.
He kept facing the window so you got a bit worried.
"Hey, Woo are you alright? I'm sorry, you're not a weirdo by the way" You trail off when you see a light flickering.
"Hey! Don't you smoke in my room you little prick" you whispered shouting again and trying to see what he was trying to do, you tiptoe but he kept turning away which made you frustrated.
You hear a chuckle coming from him "Chill, you know I don't smoke"
He turned around holding a red velvet cupcake with a small candle on top, and sang Happy Birthday with a very wide smile on his face.
You were stunned to speak, you never thought you would experience something like this ever and the fact that it's Sunwoo doing touched you even more.
" Happy Birthday. Make a wish Y/N" he smiled with his teeth showing, you thought you were going faint right then and there when he acts like that.
You finish making a wish and blow the candle out, both of you beaming at each other.
"You are the first to wish me, thank you I mean it" Both of you sitting in the bed just staring at each other.
"Do you know how busy I was late at night just for that?" he sighed dramatically, you laughed"Just for a single cupcake?"
"Yes, I went to 3 shops by the way and you know you almost lost your red velvet" he acts like he is frustrated but his eyes say otherwise.
"Well, thank you, Woo. Since you worked so hard late at night I think you deserve to eat half of the cupcake" With that you cut the cupcake in half and try to give it to him, but keeps denying it and says "It's yours, you should have them all"
He might not have eaten it if you didn't threaten him by shoving a lemon in his throat.
After both of you finished, you just sat there under the moonlit, facing each other.
The one reason you love being with your best friend is that there is a never dull moment with him, you enjoy every second with him and you hope he feels the same way too.
"Wanna go out?" he asked after some moment staring at you with expectant eyes
"Nah not really" You get up and wipe some crumbs off your clothes.
"Class tomorrow remember" You stare at him for a second to let him see that you are serious " And I can't fail this term again Sunwoo"
He groaned throwing his head back " Oh come on Y/N, I can teach you"
"Yeah, you can but if I don't study them myself how will I pass huh?" he sulks and puts his hands over his face groaning and finding you annoying.
"It's the start of your birthday Y/N why are you so gloomy" he whined holding your arms and shaking it slightly.
"It's past midnight, go to sleep" you huffed and glared at him, as you lay in your bed the bed kept shifting which made it hard to fall asleep.
"Sunwoo go away" you wish him away "Ni not until you agree, I promise we'll be back before 2"
You sigh and give him the harshest glare you could give, which does not affect him by the way you pull your covers harshly and agree to go out.
When you finally walk down the streets, there are not many people anymore you can hear some vehicles hear and then but that's just it. You, Sunwoo, and the moon shining in the clear sky.
"Wanna play in the park?" Sunwoo asked holding his hands out which you take it.
"Yeah it's been so long since we last went there together"
"Let's go to the swing" You take his hand in yours and pull him towards the swing
"Remember when we were little and I fell flat near the bench," you said giggling
"Yea and I tried to help you but you pushed me away" he makes a face "Gosh you were so"
"What? I was so...... curious. bold? stubborn? annoying?" you asked curiously staring at him now
He looks back and laughs "Why can't you think of anything better than that stuff?"
You just shrug "Coz I'm those" he raises his eyebrow staring hard at your face which makes you swing faster so you won't have to see his burning stare.
"You think you're bold?" he questions which makes you slow down your pace "Umm kinda? it depends, don't you think I am?"
"Uhh no absolutely not" he starts swinging and you follow his actions.
He takes you back home and both of you are ready to part ways, you are not sure if this is okay but you find the need to say and it has to be tonight.
"Sunwoo" you slowly trail off as he takes your notebook anhumshumsUmm, thank you for tonight. It was really fun, the fresh air must have cleared my mind" Your hands started to sweat, and searched for words to say.
"I'm glad it did. You probably tired you should sleep I'm taking your notes home" he says and tries to go back from the way he came from.
"Wait-" you shout out a bit too loud, and go towards him, he stops histruckedd looks at you quizically
"I like you. I have for some time now" he looked at you blankly which made you nervous, getting embarrassed you put both of your hands on your face
"Nevermind, I didn't say anything forgets what just happened bye"
You start backing away with your hand still in your face, you hear him give a hearted laugh and you peek at him through your face.
"I like you too, idiot probably before you liked me" he winks which makes you blush "Your face is all red like a tomato, go to sleep we'll continue tomorrow" he bids you goodbye and goes off.
You rushed towards the window to wave him off and that's how your night ends. You put your hand in your heart and feel it accelerating, you think back about the whole night and scream through your pillow
Your sister peeked through the door with ruffled hair "You okay? I heard you scream" she asked yawning
"Oh yeah you know psychology makes me lose my mind" You laugh it off your face still flushed.
She hums "Good night" and goes back to her room.
You are never going to forget tonight.

🎂🎉HAPPY BIRTHDAY LIZZI 🎉🎂
@farfromstrange bestie I know I'm late and I'm so so sorry BUT I FINALLY FINISHED WHAT I MEANT TO MAKE FOR YOUR BIRTHDAY
I honestly had no idea what to make for your birthday because I wanted to write a fic for you, but I had nothing original to write, so I started scrolling through your fics for inspo lol and I started rereading all your masterpieces, and I thought...hmmm why not? (tbh i was about to start writing something about matt's hands bc i know how much we love them but I figured I shouldn't drop smut for your birthday 😭)
I know we talked about us making random moodboards whenever we're bored, so I thought it was perfect to make one for your fics because your writing is always so amazing, it inspires me to do random things. I'm not sure if it captures the vibe you had in mind for your fic or if I completely butchered it (pls yell at me if I did bestie), but Do No Harm was just so fucking amazing that I wanted to throw together the vibes I got from it because I'm always in love with your writing. I[m sorry this is all I could make bc you deserve the world and so so much more &lt;3
Anyways happy birthday to my best friend in the entire fucking world, I love you so so much, and I'm pretty sure this is a also little past our one year anniversary of our friendship platonic marriage being so unhinged together, so I guess it's also happy anniversary to us, and tysm for that bestie bc you made my year so much better by being in it. Still can't believe I get to have you as my best friend bc you're the best I could ever ask for, and you've literally brightened my entire life since you came into it.
I LOVE YOU SO MUCH BESTIE, AND HAPPY BIRTHDAYYYYY 🎇🎉🖤
Tumblr media
I know it's not the best, but I threw all my limited editing skills into this, and I tried to add as many small details that I could pick up from your fic into here, and I will definitely be telling you all about them
Looking at this again, maybe I should've just made us another marriage certificate 😭😭 ....ifykyk
Also I know you were still sick like a week ago, and I really hope you got better before your birthday, but if not, IM MANIFESTING G0OD VIBES FOR YOU TO RECOVER BC ILYSM BESTIE

Hi, I love your writing!
I was wondering if I could ask for a request. Something about reader (maybe Dustin's older sister?) being a childhood friend of Jonathan and Nancy, then reader and Jon start dating at highschool and everything is great with him and his family until he decides to break up to be with Nancy? Reader obviously feels hurt and betrayed by both. Time passes and she starts dating Eddie and finally feels happy and loved again?
And if you'd like some more drama Jonathan knowing Nancy wants to get back with Steve and Jon wanting to go back to reader but she's with Eddie now👀
past and present | eddie munson, jonathan byers
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
summary: sometimes the past and the present meet in the middle.
pairing: eddie munson x female reader | jonathan byers x female reader
warnings: angst
note: the DRAMA of this omg anon your mind. thank you so much!!! i'm so glad you like my stories and that you wanted to request one <3 i'm sorry if it took a little time to post it, i really hope you like it!
̟ ̇.˚︵‿୨♡୧‿︵˚.✩
“i really have to study, eddie,” you giggled as your boyfriend left insistent kisses on your cheek. “i can’t.”
“you seriously can’t take some time off to pay attention to me?” he gasped, theatrically putting a hand over his chest.
“i always give you attention.” you said, playing with the rings on his fingers. “and no, i can’t. it’s an important test. you’d know that, if you bothered to study.”
“how about,” he started, giving you a devious smile. “you come over, and-” you rolled your eyes, and he raised his hands defensively, raising his voice. “and i’ll be good and quiet so you can study, hm?”
you narrowed your eyes. “you? quiet? i don’t buy it.”
“i promise. i won’t bother you. that way, you can study all you want, and i get to look at you while you do it. everybody wins.”
the bell rang, indicating that the break was over. eddie jumped off the top of your car, putting his hands in the pockets of his jacket.
“what do you say?”
he was smiling, because he already knew you’d never say no to him.
“alright.” you said, defeated. “but you better keep your promise.”
“always.” he leaned in and left a quick peck on your lips. “enjoy your free period, while the rest of us commoners have class. wish me luck. i’ll need it.”
“good luck.” you said entertainingly as eddie skipped off.
you resumed doodling in your sketchbook, smiling to yourself as you finished the drawing for eddie’s birthday. it was a drawing of him playing the guitar, and maybe it was because it was him, but you thought it was the best thing you had ever made.
some time passed, and you couldn’t shake off the feeling that somebody was watching you. you looked around, until you found the pair of eyes that were staring at you from across the parking lot.
you held your gaze until jonathan realized you had caught him staring. he startled and clumsily walked away, leaving you alone and confused.
— ❀ —
you showed up to pick up eddie and dustin from hellfire. like every week, you'd probably go out to eat after, or simply hang out at yours and dustin's house. 
this time, though, you were surprised to see you weren’t alone. jonathan was there too, leaning against his car. after contemplating (and discarding) the idea of hiding in your car until eddie and dustin showed up, you hesitantly walked up to him.
“hi.”
he quickly turned around, his eyes wide. “oh, hi.”
you looked at him, at the school, and then back at him, not sure how to ask the question you wanted to ask without sounding rude.
“i’m here to pick up will.”
“oh,” you nodded your head, still unconvinced. “doesn’t your mom usually pick him up?”
“yeah, she does," he cleared his throat. “she had a late shift today.”
“right.”
silence filled the space between the two of you, surrounding you like the night breeze. you discreetly glanced at your watch. they should have finished by now. 
“so,” jonathan spoke. “how are you?”
“i’m fine. trying to survive exams, you know? but good.” you gazed at him, noticing the way he was hiding his hands in his pockets, his gaze fixed on the ground. he clearly felt just as nervous and awkward as you. “what about you?”
“yeah, me too.”
“how’s your mom?”
“she’s great. she’s been… happier.”
“hopper looks happy too.” you smiled, thinking about the town’s newest couple. you had always hoped they’d get together someday.
if you were being honest, you wished you had been around when it happened. it saddened you not to be as close to joyce as you had once been.
“will looks happy too,” you added, and jonathan looked at you, a small smile growing on his lips. “i always see him around, you know.”
because i’m dating eddie, seemed to wordlessly hang in the air. 
“yeah, he talks about you a lot.” he chuckled, and you perked up.
“he does?”
jonathan nodded his head. “i think he misses you.”
your stomach dropped, the smile slowly disappearing from your face.
“i miss him too.” you said quietly. “i’ll ask him if he wants to hang out at the arcade sometime.”
“he’d love that.”
you glanced at your watch again. it wasn’t unusual for them to take bit more time than expected, and you normally didn’t mind, but tonight was different. tonight, time moved slow.
you gazed at the road, trying to find anything to look at that wasn’t jonathan. it was the first time you two were having a conversation ever since you had broken up. you didn't know how to talk to him anymore.
“how’s eddie?”
the question took you aback. you had never heard jonathan say eddie’s name before. it was almost unsettling, hearing your present's name in your past's mouth.
“he’s good.”
you prayed and prayed to whatever god would listen to remove you from this situation. you didn’t want him to ask about your current relationship, so you did the first thing you could think of.
“how’s nancy?”
now that was a name you had uttered a million times. a name you had pronounced with affection, a name you had uttered in laughter, a name you had yelled, a name you had cried over. and the mere pronunciation of it managed to make the air between the two of you even heavier.
“you don’t have to ask, you know.” jonathan whispered. you weren’t looking at him, and he wasn’t looking at you.
“i want to.”
he sighed. “she’s fine. she’s editor of the paper.”
“i heard.”
you knew perfectly well that you could just leave it at that, the same way he hadn’t asked anything else about eddie. you had done your part, you had been cordial.
but a small part of you, the part of you that may purposefully look for pain, wanted to hear about the relationship between your ex boyfriend and the girl that used to be your best friend.
“and you two? you’re okay?”
jonathan hesitated, distractedly playing with his feet.
“i don’t know.”
“what’s wrong?”
“i think…” he took a breath. “i think she wants to get back together with steve.”
you exhaled, as if someone had punched you in the stomach.
“shit.”
“yeah.”
“but,” you stammered, shaking your head. “did she tell you that?”
his eyes were tired and defeated as they looked into yours. “she doesn’t need to.”
you weren't sure what to say, let alone what to feel. when everything went down, you would've moved mountains to see nancy and jonathan apart. but you had eventually accepted it, and even gotten used to it to the point where you couldn't imagine it any other way. you couldn't believe they might actually break up.
you couldn't imagine jonathan being alone.
“i’m sorry.” you said quietly.
“it’s okay.” he shrugged. “they’re highschool romances. they’re not supposed to last.”
the bitterness in his tone and words suggested that he was not only talking about him and nancy, but about you two as well. and maybe, about you and eddie.
“can i ask you something?”
you waited a moment, giving fate one last chance. a chance for eddie to burst through the doors so you could get the hell out of there and avoid whatever situation was about to go down. but everything stayed still.
“sure.”
“do you… think about me?” he paused. “about us?”
“why are you asking me that, jonathan?” 
“i don’t know.” he confessed. “i just… i think about you. a lot. and sometimes i feel that, maybe, you think about me too.”
“i think about a lot of things.” you looked away. “that doesn’t make them important.”
“you still use it.”
“hm?”
“the sketchbook.” he finished. “the one i made for you.”
“it was a gift, jonathan. what was i supposed to do? throw it away?”
“it’s full of pictures of us.” he stared at you. “did you throw those away?”
you scoffed. “what’s this? you haven’t talked to me in ages and now you’re suddenly asking all sorts of questions.”
“you haven’t made an effort to reach out, either.”
you couldn’t believe what you were hearing. you crossed your arms over your chest, guarding yourself.
“you chose her, jonathan.” you stated, your voice sharp and steady. “you chose her.”
“and how do i know if i made the right choice?”
your heart skipped a beat, pounding loudly against your ears. you couldn't remember the amount of nights you had gone to bed going over what you would say to jonathan if you ever got the chance.
you used to imagine yourself running into his arms, taking him back without a second thought. but that was a long time ago now.
“remember what you told me when you broke up with me? when you broke up with me because you were in love with our best friend, the one we grew up with?” you snapped, taking a step closer to him.
you had thought you were over all of this, but standing in front of jonathan under the pale streetlights, you realized there had always been some lingering ache waiting to burst through your chest.
“you told me you wanted me to be happy. that i deserved someone who would love me the way i deserved.”
jonathan looked down, and you wanted to scream at him to look at you. he had done this. he had broken the two of you, and the bond you had once shared. being brave enough to look you in the eye was the least he could do.
“i’m with eddie now.” you tried your best not to let your voice break. “you have no idea how hard it was. but i’m happy. i’m very happy. and he loves me, alright? he loves me. so please, jonathan,” you breathed in as he finally looked at you. “don’t ask me what would have happened if things had been different. because they’re not.”
now that he had met your gaze, you noticed his eyes were filled with tears. you didn’t regret what you had said. but you suddenly wondered if you had been too harsh on the boy that had taught you what love is.
you knew, or used to know, his deepest fears and his most wishful desires. you used to protect one another, and now all you seemed to do was hurt each other.
before you could say anything else, the school doors burst open and the kids excitedly ran out, followed by eddie. they were celebrating the end of a successful campaign, but all you could feel was a hollow emptiness in your chest.
will lit up as soon as he caught sight of his brother, and jonathan quickly wiped his eyes with the sleeve of his jacket.
“hi, bud.”
after the kids said their goodbyes, dustin and eddie talked enthusiastically as they walked up to you, recounting their favorite moments of the evening.
“hi, buttface.” dustin greeted you, and you ruffled his hair in response.
eddie playfully wrapped an arm around your waist, pulling you in for a kiss. you laughed as he lifted you off the ground, spinning you around before setting you down again.
“hi, pretty boy.”
it was incredible, how eddie managed to cheer you up in seconds, just by being himself. you once believed you would never love again, but knowing eddie made you realize that having loved before was enough proof that you could do it again.
but when you turned around, you were still haunted by the past. eddie was saying something you weren’t paying attention to, staring into jonathan’s hurt eyes instead. eventually, eddie noticed you weren’t listening to him, and followed your gaze. 
you didn’t see it, but his jaw tightened and he lifted his chin, staring at jonathan.
“byers.” he stated. “we don’t usually see you around here.”
jonathan mumbled something about picking up will, giving the same explanation of his mom working late. eddie nodded his head, and though he was tense, he never lost his composure. 
“you can join us sometime, if you want.”
“oh, no. i don’t play.” he shook his head.
“shame.” eddie said simply. “well, goodnight.”
eddie wrapped an arm around your shoulders and turned back, walking towards your car. you listened to his and dustin's discussion about where to eat, but you could only think about jonathan’s eyes boring into your back.
when you got into your car, you cast jonathan a last glance. as expected, he was already staring at you. he looked as if there was something he wanted to say. and you looked as if you didn't want him to say it. so he got into his car and drove off, disappearing down the road.
you let out a sigh, gripping the wheel. eddie looked at you from the passenger’s seat.
“you okay?” he asked softly. you nodded your head, turning on the engine. eddie leaned in and placed a kiss on your cheek. “you pick where you want to eat, okay?”
“what?!” dustin exclaimed from the backseat. “no! she always chooses denny's!”
eddie ignored him, all his attention put on you. you gave him a small smile and placed a short peck on his lips.
“i love you.”
he smiled, brightening up at your words. he put a hand on your thigh and wiggled it from side to side.
“only because i let you torture us with denny and his nasty burgers?”
you rolled your eyes and turned on the radio.
“his burgers are the best.”
“they're disgusting.” dustin stated.
all your favorite songs filled the car, and while you sang loudly with dustin and eddie played air guitar, you realized you didn’t need to hide from the past. it would always be a part of you, a part of your story. but you wouldn’t let it interfere with your present.

Enemy to lover with Ash please
<3
I’m back!! sorry for the long wait on this one!! hope you enjoy!!
I Hate You
pairing: ashton irwin x reader
warnings: none
word count: 1219
<3
Your phone rang. Glancing down, you saw that it was Calum, and upon this realization, you quickly answered it.
“Hey, what’s up?”
“Hi! Some friends and I are having a cookout tonight to celebrate Luke’s birthday. I was wondering if you’d want to come? He hasn’t seen you in a while.”
Silence hung over the line while you thought over the offer. Calum was right, you hadn’t seen Luke in ages, and you did miss him. However, social gatherings weren’t really your thing. But it’s his birthday, so you agreed.
“Sure. I’d love to. What time?”
Glancing at your watch, it was about 1pm now, so hopefully it wouldn’t be for at least another two hours, because you were not looking presentable right now. Calum was clearly deciding on the other end.
“Dunno. To be completely honest we hadn’t gotten that far. Probably around five, that sound good?”
You nodded, even though he couldn’t see.
“Works for me.“
“Alright. I’m texting Luke right now and telling him you’ll be there. I’m sure he’ll be over the moon. See you at five!”
“Wait Cal! Who else is coming?”
He hummed.
“Ryan, Luke, Michael, Ashton, Crystal-“
“Ashton?! No way Calum. Hell no.”
He sighed and you could basically feel him roll his eyes.
“Look, he’s one of Luke’s best friends, please can you just tolerate each other and make Luke happy tonight?”
“I fucking hate him Cal. And he fucking hates me.”
He mumbled something that you couldn’t make it, but knowing him it was most likely a crude joke about your choice of words. It was your turn to roll your eyes.
“I’ll try. But don’t get mad at me if we’re at each other throats by the end of the night.”
“Let’s hope if you are it’s because you two finally got past your differences and realized you’re being idiots and not because you want to kill each other.”
“Calum Hood. I’ll murder you. I’ll be there at five. And stop making jokes about me hooking up with Ashton. You couldn’t pay me a million dollars.”
“Mhm. Sure. Bye!”
You put the phone back in your pocket and ran a hand down your face. What the fuck. It was just like Calum to know Ashton was coming and not mention it until after you agreed. He’s such a bitch and he’s lucky you love him.
Ashton Fletcher Irwin. That absolute motherfucker. It was small, petty, stupid shit, really. He made rude jokes, you made them back, he got pissed, you got angry, Calum had to pull you two apart. He talked shit behind your back, you lost your shit on him, Michael lost his shit on both of you. You’d hated each other as long as you could remember, each thinking the other was stealing friends from you. He consistently got on your last nerve. An entire evening with him? Torture. But you loved Luke so you’d deal with it. Sighing, you sat down, debating whether or not to go shower and get ready early so you wouldn’t be rushing, or to just do nothing for the next two hours.
Deciding on the latter, you turned on a random show for background noise and worked on some drawing, sketching a few tattoos for the shop. You hadn’t thrown in new pieces lately, and decided you’d fill up the Get-What-You-Get machine when you got back. A soft smile came over your face as you remembered when Luke came in for his first tattoo not long ago. It had been quite the experience to work on someone who was a tattoo virgin, or so to speak. Always a story for the books.
After finishing up three new ones, you glanced up. Realizing you had about two and a half hours, you figured it was safer than sorry to go ahead and get ready now.
Showering, and deciding on shorts and a cute top, you quickly got changed. Messing with your hair to give it that “messy but looks good” appearance, you debated makeup for today. Leaning towards yes, you didn’t do that much, eyeliner, mascara, eyeshadow. A little bit of graphic lines in the corners just to make the colours pop, and done. You had let Luke talk you into using makeup six months ago, and you got sorta addicted.
After that, you had about a solid 45 minutes before you had to leave if you wanted yo be there on time, so you packed up the sketches and put them in a plastic sleeve to avoid damages by god knows what. Things always seemed to get messed up in your house, no matter how hard you tried to keep them intact. Mentally preparing for the night to come, you checked your phone to see a text from Michael from ten minutes ago.
“Party’s been moved up by 30. can u still make it?”
“be there in 15.”
“don’t break any laws. luke will kill you.”
“no promises.”
read - 4:15
Good thing you’d gotten ready early.
“Luke! Cal! Mike! Irwin.”
You turned back to face Luke.
He grinned.
“I’m glad you could make it! Haven’t seen you in a hot minute.”
You smiled back.
“Yea it’s been a bit. Happy birthday!”
“Thanks!”
Brushing past Ashton, a bit more roughly than you’d like to admit, you went to chat with Michael for a bit while Cal was helping Luke fix the final touches to food. He gave you a look. You gave the same one back. He rolled his eyes. You rolled yours too. He sighed. You returned in kind.
“I know Cal already had a conversation with you about this but try to be nice to Ash please?”
You scoffed.
“Oh, so you’re on nickname terms now?”
He looked exasperated.
“Look. He doesn’t hate you as much as you think he does. Just try to be civil. If not for yourself, for Luke.”
“Fine.”
“Thank you.”
Parting ways, you talked with Calum for a while before Ashton walked over to grab a drink. Glaring at him, you moved out of the way of the cooler. He didn’t even have it in him to glare back, just shot a weak smile. You didn’t want to admit you were slightly concerned. So you didn’t. Rolling your eyes for the millionth time that night, you turned back to Cal. He shot you a look. You chose to ignore it again.
Later, you happened to bump into Ashton on the way to a bathroom, creepily sulking in a hallway for no apparent reason.
“Watch it!” you snapped.
“Sure.”
That threw you. Ashton always snapped back.
“The hell are you doing sulking in a hallway anyways?”
“None of your business.”
“Oh fuck you.”
“You wish.”
“I try not to hate you but you make it hard.”
“How kind. Spare me the small talk.”
Next thing you knew, Ashton’s hands were around your waist, lips attached to yours.
You swore then and there you’d never tell anyone how much you enjoyed it.
You pulled back after to breathe.
“I still fucking hate you.”
“Glad we’re on the same page. Kiss me again.”
Back against the wall, you managed to detangle a hand from Ashton’s hair to send Luke the middle finger when he called down the hallway.
“Invite me to the wedding lovebirds!”

Aomine x fem!reader
In which the reader celebrate their x birthday and Aomine do his best to please her !
A/N : Specials thanks to @vespersposts for giving me this idea haha ! And sorry this is being published so late.
Warning : It’s very suggestive but no smut :). It’s long as hell.
Tumblr media
He tried, he tried really his best, but wandering like this for 3 hours now, Daiki just had to admit he was too much of an idiot to organize by himself something as much romantic as a picnic. It’s sad but it’s so true, as he’s barely able to walk, his legs ? wasted as he kept walking around the mall, and damn that was more tiring than running after a ball for a whole basketball match. With now a strong headache because of the lot of thinking and comparaison between products along his own ideas : he still didn’t know where to start, what to buy, what to do exactly and it’s ridiculous. He won’t go anywhere as it is now and well if he wanted to do everything correctly and on time he had no many options lefts as he’s coming out of the mall hands empty: he’s calling Satsuki.
And gosh, he’s regretting immediately as he hear her annoying voice through the other end of the phone and remembers the type of specimen that is Momoi Satsuki, his childhood friend still calling him "Dai-chan".
« You ??! Why are you calling me for this time ? »
It’s weird, Aomine didn’t remember playing with her nerves recently so why the aggressive response ? And shit, it’s going to be more complicated to ask her a favor.
«  What do you mean this time ?! It’s the first time I’m calling you today ! And anyway I don’t care… I’m doing something important.
– Uh ?! If it’s so important why do you call me for then ?! And don’t make it look like as if you didn’t do anything…! Yes you didn’t call me but you literally harassed me with silly questions for the 2 previous hours ! Why do you need to know the meaning behind flowers, where to find great blankets, what kind of candles exists–?! »
Yeah maybe he has been kind of an asshole with her by asking her so many questions in the morning when he just lost hope after loosing an hour wandering like a ghost in front of many stores but this time, he was a good asshole.
«  Oi, those questions concerns directly the damn emergency : I’ll need your help Satsuki… I want to do something nice for her, for y/n birthday. »
And after a moment of silence, he hear again the squeaky voice of his friend screaming in happiness and the sound of failling dishes on the floor… was she trying to cook ? Not his problem anyway. Momoi has always been shipping him with you… and this since like basically you two met.
«  YES ! FINALLY YOU BEHAVE LIKE A MAN ! DAI-CHAN YOU MAKE ME SO PROUD !! 
– For god sake, stop being so loud ! Almost got me dropping my phone there !!
– YESS! What do you need exactly my help for ? Let me guess… I will have to organize things isn’t it ? And you see big ? I know you want to do something really adorable for her if you managed to get yourself to that mall so early in the morning ! Alright… I may need a team for this… I must call appropriate persons ! Hahaha ! I’m so smart !
– Are you finished ? Like in your stupid monologue ?
– As the one asking me help you better watch your mouth..!
–….
– Yeah that’s what I thought… If I am not helping you you will start growing older just thinking about a preparation schedule.
– Don’t you dare calling me stu–!
– Get to my house as early as you can and give me details about what you want to do there ! See ya !»
And his pinky haired friend cutted the conversation off like this, leaving him embarrassed as hell and annoyed. He needed definitely her manager services but pushing him to admit it and hurting his ego like this shouldn’t be allowed. As he get himself to sit in his car finally, Aomine take the road for this appartement in town he knows too damn well to his liking… Everybody changed of place including both him and Satsuki after high school but here he was knowing the way to her home by heart like when they were kids and still neighbors. But Aomine would never let it know to her, always faking using gps when she would be in the car. But if he was honest what’s more surprising is that he’s still able to tell the way to her home from the mall which wasn’t close at all from hers but yeah, stupid details anyway. He wonder what Momoi had behind her mind as he starts playing some music in the car, bothering by the way every others conductors on the road but hey ! This isn’t illegal to play fine music in his car and share it with the world right ?
It’s after a rather long time, something like 45 minutes that he’s in front of Satsuki portals tapping the code he as well, think he know a bit too much to his liking and get himself in the clean and good smelling infrastructure. Now not loosing a minute as his precense here is timed. You will start searching for him in maybe 3 hours if you’re returning early from university and he didn’t wanted you to suspect anything.
But as Aomine ring to the door, more or less impatient because of his own restraints, what a surprise to see Kuroko open the door.
«  Tetsu ? What are you doing here ?
– Hi, Aomine-kun. I don’t know neither ? But Momoi-san said you will need my help ? »
Looking in the dead paned pale blue eyes of the boy, Aomine feel something in him… a weird sensation in his body telling him that there is even more surprises waiting for him as he enters and that your birthday preparation… would be chaotic.
« Oh here is y/n prince charming, I never thought you could be so nice and affectionate to a person, Aomine-cchi ! They say love change people !
– Dai-chan, here you are ! »
From all people, of course Momoi would pick this guy to help him… The most noosey of them all.
«  Satsuki what the stupid blonde doing here ?Sakurai ? You’re here too… KAGAMI ? How is that dumbass going to help me in anyway ?! »
And she somehow managed to bring worst than him ?
«  Stupid blonde ? That’s what I am to you ? How rude !
– And who do you call a dumbass ?! You’re lucky that Kuroko dragged me here and that y/n is a great friend uh ! Because why would I help a guy like you ?!
– As excepted the ambiance here is as tense as I thought… Everyone, everyone please ! »
Momoi sigh as she push Aomine to sit down, and try to calm him down by saying your name and this way remind him your birthday what does immediate effect as the others silence themselves seeing Aomine suddenly so serious and focused. Waiting for instructions and proper explanations, they got called here as if it was a sort of military rassemblement.
«  The man that we know as Dai-chan here, as some of you know has a lovely girlfriend named y/n that he loves from the bottom of his heart !
– Satsuki–!
– What ? Did I lie ? And in her birthday occasion he terribly wants to make her happy and remember that he will always remain by her side… so he planed to…? »
The woman look in his eyes with a lot of persistency as she wants him to respond to her question. Everyone being very expectant of what Aomine would say.
–… a picinic.
– A very romantic picnic, sirs ! Aomine-kun said a romantic picnic and we should help him in this quest ! As I predicted it Kagami, Sakurai we will need your cooking skills. The food have to be homemade but like me… Dai-chan don’t know how to cook !
– Okay… I will try my best ! But… sorry in advance Kagami-kun if I bother you in your cooking !!
– You excuse yourself of something that didn’t already happened ?! And are Aomine skills that bad ?!
–… « Like you » is a bit of an exaggerated comparaison Momoi-cchi, dont you think ?
– Keep that mean comment to yourself at least Ki-chan, no ?! Especially since you and I will work together buying everything we need for decorations and taking important decisions! We can’t let Aomine bring disgusting food for this day..!
–…. And what is Tetsu purpose if I may ask instead of trash talking me ?
– You ask his purpose even before himself ? Can’t you be considerate of how he may take this question ?!
– It’s alright Momoi-san…
– Tetsu-kun is emotional support !
– WHAT-?! »
Aomine seem clearly doubtful of that emotional support role as he brings his hands to his face, heavily sighing…. Didn’t they grew older ? And Momoi would still keep having this weird antics and bias for Kuroko ?
«  Don’t underestimate the emotional support role Uh ! Tetsu-kun will be the most useful of us all ! You seriously need someone to advice you how to behave like a gentleman and good manners ! y/n deserves the princess treatment, pretty words coming from your mouth as you compliment her ! And only Tetsu-kun can teach you to be this romantic and polite ! Do you want to have an impact or nah ?! »
Kuroko trying to not seem awkward look away as Momoi said that, not desiring to bring attention to him but he wonder what expression can be on Aomine face so he briefly look at him to see the embarrassment on it. But it was unlike Aomine, it was an embarrassment that didn’t hold annoyance but surprising complete fluster as he looked really messy trying to hide it. So he really wanted to be a gentleman and say to you lovely words of affection ? How unrecognizable he was at that moment.
«  Are you okay with this organization ?! 
– Yes…Whatever !
– Also… I am pretty sure Aominecchi thought about this already if we are all gathered here but alongside the picnic, shouldn’t he give her a gift ? 
– Right… Excuse me Aomine-kun but I don’t think that the picnic by itself w-would be sufficient…
– Uh ? For who do y’all think I am..?!
– So you already have some planed idea for this ?
– Y/n gift is the only thing I had been able to get at that damn mall ! »
And when Aomine hear his friends gasping in joy if it wasn’t for some even screaming, he know that the days before your birthday would be long and tiring…. But everything would be worth it.
When he came back home, despite how much low on energy he was, Aomine felt great as he was faking to had take a nap on the couch and that he, with the help of his long arm enveloped himself to you. Holding your hips as you walked in front of him in the pyjama short you quickly wore once home, it was like you came out as well from a tiring day.
You complained about him doing this like you always did but ceased this comedy and appreciated silently as he lazily rested his head on your lap along with his hands, leaving a soft trail of kisses on that part of your exposed skin between the top of your shorts and shirt. You feel that weird thing tickling in you that make you shiver an instant as Aomine bring you slowly but surely to lay on him. He know you loved this, you know that he know it was making your heart melt each time, so he kept being touchy, leaving slightly wet kisses on your shoulders and neck now as he get you to sit with him and you didn’t bothered defending yourself overwhelmed by your own weakness for him.
It was like that to be in love with Aomine Daiki like that for Aomine Daiki to be in love with you, to be overpowered by love. To the point both of you becoming unrecognizable but none of you would care.
Or at least if it was in the intimacy of your home because the weeks of preparation for your birthday were full of teasing remarks and jokes about your couple that were embarrassing your boyfriend as he couldn’t really argue on top of the already chaotic group energy.
The second day of preparation Momoi and Kise were already plotting something shady together but nobody managed to make them spill out an information about their evils intention and they were too busy planning the whole project in terms of budget. At day three Momoi got in contact with Midorima and Akashi to play some music but both of them left the proposition on stand by as they were occupied that day but Midorima… was much more specific and concerning toward his reasons ? Warning Aomine about potential disappointment coming at him for that day relying on his horoscope or whatever ? Aomine hanged off right on his nose when he started talking about his « magician » stuff.
Day four, Momoi and Kise finally decided to go buy the decorations to the stores and dragged Aomine along them by saying he as well was part of the decoration as an excuse to make him buy a new elegant outfit to seduce again, like he does everyday the woman in you. And how charmed Momoi and Kise were, almost teary, as Aomine specifically requested to be relying on your tastes and own recommendations for him he had the opportunity to hear in the past but never did because he was a bit too shy and lazy but now ? he wanted to please you that badly. He wanted to make you smile. So he wholeheartedly trusted your past advice and damn without lying to himself… he found the Aomine Daiki standing in front of the mirror damn hot like this, wearing these colors, these clothes.
Day five of preparation looked like taking a japanese class as roughly Aomine found himself making poesy and haikus. Kuroko trying to teach him good sounding sentences and sort of basic metaphorical ways to express his feelings but in the end they ended up deciding to let Aomine go freestyle on this for a more authentic effect. Sixth day… Kise almost burned the blanket they bought for the picnic when they set everything on the park as a trial and in the afternoon it was Momoi and Nigou that almost ruined something by being involved in the kitchen.
And finally the last and seventh day was dedicated for mental preparation and rehearsals of what Daiki would do, behave like he planed to in front of you but it was Kuroko, Kise, Kagami and Sakurai imitating you. And without a doubt, that day was the most embarrassing one for him and scary as not only your birthday was the day just in the corner but that yeah maybe Aomine really needed Tetsu as an emotional support to make him forget about all the pressuring in his stomach at the idea to not deceive you.
«  Alright ! Our mission is finished, thanks everyone ! » Says the manager with a cheeky smile on her face.
Aomine head was so empty and messy at the same time he didn’t bothered to point out that stupid expression on her face as well as the one on Kise but if only he knew. If only he knew what they have done. It was with a blank mind that he left them to see you home having to pretend that he forgot about what’s so special about the day tomorrow when he literally only thought about this day for weeks now. Playfully bothering and teasing you like usual when you would walk in front of him or casually hug him… how cute of you, being more touchy than usual, seeking so desesperatly for his attention. But he knows that if he lets you cling into him like that he will end up kissing you everywhere and drop the acting. Wishing you an happy birthday as midnight arrive in your shared bed while he would make you love… it was tempting but he had to resist these thoughts.
For once he wanted to appear as pure and out of dirty thoughts boyfriend to you. And it was thinking like this that Aomine slept before midnight on purpose and dissipated in the morning like a flash. Satsuki and Kise telling him to do this for dramatic effect even if it was a day off for both of you.
As you wake up, not long after Aomine left, not sensing his warmth and powerful arms on you. Getting yourself to sit in bed, you unconsciously look around you like a lost puppy to find him, gripping your phone as you don’t see him in the room. Looking at the hour, you’re even more surprised as it was quite early in the morning and that well your boyfriend was far from being the kind that you can call an early bird. But giving more attention as you glance at your lock screen you spot a message notification from Daiki.
«  Match day. I’m going to return for 2pm.»
And the little reassured smile forming in the corner of your lips turned into a pout as you realized today was your birthday and that Daiki wouldn’t be here in the morning but it was fine if he would be here after his match…. Aomine always warned you much earlier than this for day match, at least when he didn’t forget about it but you chose to believe him today as he already timed his arrival and wanted to trust him. But as you receive his next message, a playful expression take over your face.
«  Get ready. We’re going out after that.»
He could have mean that in the sense that he wanted to celebrate his future victory with you but you know your boyfriend, you know how to read between lines because of the time spent with him. And can guess a vague idea of what’s planed for you as the overall situation is a bit too strange to your liking. You jump out of the bed quite excited but realize there is a long time before Daiki would return home and mourn yourself on that couch your boyfriend lazed around so much.
Impatient, you try distracting yourself by watching a movie, eating breakfast and other stuff you would have done on a day off with Daiki. But each minutes, seconds, slowly getting you closer of that moment are long and you decide to get some time for yourself, some time to think more deeply as you were known as an over thinker. Looking by the window, dressed in your boyfriend shirt you, zone out at the view of a calm neighborhood not far from town. That was disrupted by kids in bikes playing together under a generous sun, but their sounds was muffled down by multiples oaks, their charming greens leafs all together forming a sort of anti-sound barrier between the sky and earth. And here you were in the middle, observing that separation between two worlds, two spaces, which didn’t communicate but constantly met with each other’s the lower representing the past and the higher the future. Your nostalgia and your ambitions.
Looking down you remember thoses sunny days after practice when both Aomine and you were studying at Too, sleeping around as you were cuddling as the lazy couple you were. But one day, you remember him taking you to a Sakura tree for your one year anniversary and under it giving you a kiss on the temple as he pulled your hair back, for him to see that eye candy face he loves clearly. He said your name then nodded in satisfaction after the kiss, knowing he got you internally burning as he pressed you against his body and heard that sick heartbeat of yours.
He laughed it off before himself looking away a brief second and getting hot but Aomine was more courageous as he looked back into your eyes and managed to say «  I chose you again. » before slowly crashing this time his lips against yours lovingly, passionately. It was like being in a dream even if that perverted hand of his got up under your left breast during the delicate exchange, as he was holding you right against him, Aomine sitting behind you and using a curious angle to kiss you and squeeze your cheeks but you liked it much. As he kept your chin in his hand after the kiss and that from your posture you could see how intense the expression on his face was so full of love and just love again.
Aomine never has been what you can call a romantic man but he had those moments, those gestures… you would never ask to substitute instead. You grin just thinking again about his arms surrounding your body still surrounding you in the same way till this day if not stronger and dare look at the sky. Confidently foreseeing an illuminated future, a future in which maybe a ring will figure beautifully on your finger. A future as passionate, dynamic, lively and malicious as today because it was this life full of malice with Aomine you wanted. A life full of simple things, of dumbassery, of pranks set on each other’s, a life full of playful banters and hilarious moments for ever. Memories building themselves up until they’re so many you don’t remember but that your old selves would have fun to tell others. But it was also concrete projects, ambitions, vision of a shared future of success, accomplishment and risks. A future in which it’s you and him against the world, you and him together and nobody else. Your hand always holding his, firmly and never letting him go.
Because that man did something to you, you don’t know what but that got you scotched to him and wrapped up around his finger. He did something that would make you follow him around every where, leaving you like a lost puppy when absent and crazy at his side. And you hated it as much as you loved it, and now the man would have to bare with the consequences of that spell he cast upon you by your existence always remaining by his side and haunting him into loving you. Oh it was scary to be in love.
To be desperate and vulnerable, you think as you start going toward your dress robe pulling out the dress, the shoes, the makeup and accessories. Decided to look as beautiful as ever even if Daiki ended up taking you to Mc Donald’s, you have faith in him. You wanted to impress him, you wanted to thanks him for the woman he made out of you today.
A woman full of ressources, kinda stupid as butterfly keep flying in her stomach till this day, but happy and good with herself.
A long time ago, when you were insecure you wouldn’t have seen yourself in a so bold dress, but she suited you very well like when you tried it doing shopping few days ago with Momoi and Kise. As if it was made for you, to compliment that body of yours Daiki liked to admire and wreck under every angle… you know it would please him much, even distract him a lot if you wore that today, but god knows your intentions and silly you, to be wanting to test that man patience you know to be very long indeed.
You can’t help yourself but laugh a little as you slowly enlighten your beauty by putting on some makeup, lipstick rolling down your lips and coloring it. Eye shadow making your eyes more appealing. Eventually came the time when someone presented themselves to your door not long after you were finished, even wearing your shoes already. And it was your prince charming, a bouquet full of gardenias in hands. Standing in all his height as beautiful as ever, you obviously stare as you’re stunned to see him like this. Completely conquered already, as you told him many time before to try dressing like this and he did now, for you. And you can’t help but smile like an idiot, you try to hold yourself back from hugging him and kissing him already wanting to hear what can he say, how Aomine Daiki planed to make this day special for you. Or in other words how Aomine Daiki planed to prove to you his love again thanks to the multiples rehearsals he did with Kuroko imitating you.
«  Hi babe.. He says, the confident smile adorning his lips vanishing as he see your face and his heart skip a beat.
You’re lovely as always but right now he happen to not be able to ignore it like he usually do.
«  You’re gorgeous y/n. And he looses his words when you thanks him shyly and get a brighter expression.
You position yourself against the door, having to hold onto something to not fall in love again. But it makes Aomine even more embarrassed as he now pay attention to your clothing.
«  I… I bought these flowers for you, for your birthday.. ? Let’s make this one even special than previous ones, babe.
And as he hand to you the flowers, his jaw barely stay in place, his lack of self control driving him to unconsciously grip your hips, draw your back closer and now you’re even glued to him, your chest on his torso. In fact this look like the start of a hug.
« You will ?
– I will if you follow me….
– I will, even blinded if you wanted me to.
–…. And only if you kiss me, like right now.
– As if you really needed to ask for it… »
And two soul met that way as they kiss each other, two lustful souls that wanted nothing more but to satisfy their physical needs but Aomine had to show you his surprise, his gift for you…
Stopping you as you embrace his toungue and get him deeper into that rabbit hole of love. Oh man it was tempting to just let himself dragged along by you and let swirl the emotional mess in his body.
« I’ll think this would be enough miss… »
He says as he rest his forehead on top of yours, his short blue hair tickling your face and his blue eyes studying your facial expression with attention. You never wanted so much to bite his cheeks right now, his beautiful tan skin calling for your teeth and lips to softly crash on him, teasing him into giving in but you carry yourself back again. As you know… that fun will arrive in due time.
« We’re going. »
And you follow him in his car so excited that you don’t even let Aomine hold the car door for you. You take a seat, lovingly waiting for Aomine to get going. And watch the road with an idiot face when he starts driving, questioning him about his surprise but he wouldn’t tell you anything which was even more exciting. As you seek for clues but none of the clue you had would’ve let you know that Aomine would take you into a natural park until he station himself in a parking not far. The smell of green, the calming silence in company of a distant sound of a water fall. You turn around Aomine, tying your arm around his as you press himself to him. Today you were sure not ashamed of clinging into him like this as both of you enter the green area which was on top of that deserted but reserving a natural park for oneself was impossible right ?
You don’t bother thinking about this detail anyway once you see the candles and blanket on the floor in the spot you think was the more visually appealing of the park, surrounded by flowers and not so far from the flowing water. The nice odor getting out from the basket of food seating under the tree… oh my.
– Dai-kun…
The whole thing was reminding you your first year anniversary as a couple and it got you teary, going for a hug as you tip toe even in your heels.
– Do you like it ?
– It’s perfect, you can’t imagine how happy I am. »
And you smooch your face against him, pulling out of his embrace to enjoy this instant to celebrate the birth of a special girl…. but what a surprise to see a bush moving in a way that you think unnatural when you turn back to sit.
«…. Did you saw two flashes like me hiding behind there ?
– What–?! What are you talkingabout y/n ? Pfft… you’re seeing things ! Aomine shrug off after looking in the direction you indicated with insistance.
– I could have sworn it was pink and brown ?
– Some flowers around here are pink and brown as well…
– You’re right… but… anyway I should just shut myself and starts enjoying this moment with you instead. »
And you get yourself to sit, charmed by the romanticism of the roses and burning candles. The sensation of grass beneath your feets and the air softly caressing your face, your heart racing as your cheeks flush.
«  Can I kiss you again, Daiki ? »
And after a surprising time of hesitation when you say that, looking in a direction for reasons you don’t know, Aomine immediately smash his lips on yours, smirking in that expression you like so much.
«  Do you want to eat what’s in that picnic basket or do you want to eat me ? You naughty girl.»
And you smile, not knowing that not so far people were holding their stomach to not laugh and scream while Aomine was blushing…. And we’re talking about Aomine, the man you know with a dark complexion, it was damn hard for him to blush and for it to be visible.
«  I’ll start with the picnic basket then you alright ? They say the better for the end. »
And you watch Aomine getting out food from it hence you shamelessly drool from the mouth.
«  Don’t tell me you made it yourself ?!
– Hmpf… For who do you think I am ? Of course I did. »
And some agitation happened again when he said that but you wouldn’t notice, so much caught up in tasting entries plates. It was made with love without doubt, and you kissed Aomine on the cheeks, thanking him again. He said a stupid joke on your overly affectionate self and you laughed at it, teasing him in return. Meals were so good you couldn’t help but lick your finger and pick in Aomine plates which leaded to childish conflict between you two but eventually it would end by him looking deeply in your eyes and putting his hand on yours while looking at you like a splendid flower, similar to the one he stuck into your hair on your left side. But you were the one that would never fade away and keep glowing under the sun rays as he would cherish you everyday even as the bad gardener that he could be, watering you carefully everyday and taking care of your dressing as he would cut off the old leafs bothering your development. Cautiously, he would keep your essence and chase away invaders and danger.
But maybe you were enough watered for today, this would be too much right ? That rain failling upon both of you while you were starting drinking, the water was abundant and claimed to disrupt for a long moment. A too long moment for a princess like you and that Aomine would never make you endure just to end up sitting on wet grass and getting you dirty.
«  Fuck… Y/n, I am sorry. »
And as he hurry to pack up things to get going fast at least in the car, Aomine remember about that thing Midorima said about horoscope and disappointing events happening that day… And it was sickening him to constat that yes indeed, his shit guessed right. The picnic he planed all this time got ruined by a stupid rain as he never ever thought about natural events bothering him in his plans…. Seeing Aomine annoyed face make you genuinely sad as you know it must have asked a lot of time from him and that he sure had things to show you he couldn’t have done but you don’t let yourself affected already glad for everything, enveloping Aomine vest tighter against your body.
«  I’m getting sick of that picnic basket acting silly… Satsuki and the bunch of idiots hiding in the bushes take care of it, me and y/n are going ! »
And what a surprise when you see a group of persons getting up behind the vegetation… which were your common friends of Aomine and you.
«  Whaat ?! It was y’all hiding here all along–?! »
And you get flustered as you spot Kise and Momoi with phones in their hands, they were obviously taking photos…
« Don’t pay attention to us… We are just the cleaning service ! »
And you don’t have the time to ask more questions while Aomine drag you away running under his coat with you toward the car and that your friends shakes their hands in the air to say goodbye. Maybe in the space of a minute too much surprising things happened to you.
« …Okay maybe I lied a bit, theses idiots helped me pulling this for you. » Daiki says as both of you sat in the car and he sighed, clearly upset.
«  It’s fine. It doesn’t make me any less proud of you. »
And he let his head hit against the steering wheel as you bet that he’s insulting himself in his mind.
«  No it’s not fine… I’m going to take you to some restaurant alright ? Whatever you want.
– But we already ate ? Are you hungry again ?
– It’s not the question y/n… We go whatever you want.
– It is. If you don’t want to eat I shouldn’t drag you to eat with me in restaurant and I don’t want to anyway, I am not hungry. Don’t pressure yourself into treating me somewhere, we had fun. We can go home.
– You’re sure ? »
And Aomine find himself surprised as he lift his head up seeing you holding his cheeks.
«  Yes I am sure of that. I thought it was whatever I wanted ? »
And Aomine eyes lighted up looking in yours, always so lively and hardly discouraged. It has always been you and it would keep being you because he chose you again. And as he gain in some countenance again, he finally get moving, leading both of you on the way of home. He’s thinking of what he can do from there, and don’t find much if not nothing what makes him exasperated. Maybe he was a bit too dramatic and on edge about what happened but he couldn’t help it, only you could as he feel your soft hand pinching and caressing his tight while he’s driving. Movements going down and high as they make his body warmer and exceptant for nice things happening in a soon future, sometimes he forget that like him you can be much of a pervert. Of course you would like to get home with him rather than anything else.
«  I figured that you and I can defy each other in a game to kill time. One versus one. You, me and a bed only as the court with infinite time. »
And you snicker at his dirty joke, excited, impatient.
«  Will you let me score a point ? For my birthday…
– Depends. I feel like a should but you like it when I am mean to you. »
They say rain help people relaxing and forming one with their souls, reminding them their body needs. You rub your tights against each other’s, when you remember the last time Aomine and you did it : It has been a while explaining why you were terribly horny. And you know what’s great ? Aomine was too. And once you get out of that car with him holding your waist you know you are in for some fun. You didn’t entered the house that you found yourself pinned down, getting involved in a dangerous kiss, tongue sensually meeting.
«  You’re so wet. »
He said but you know what he’s talking about and it’s not the clothes. It’s about making your needy body remember this birthday.
«….And so pretty like the flowers I gave you… Do you know what they means ? The florist said gardenia are supposed to be useful when you want to tell a woman you find her pretty… as it’s a sort of floral jewelry ? It was the line I forgot to tell you earlier… the one the group of noosey people gave me to give you your gift. »
Your eyes widen as you hear what Aomine say all the while getting you naked what makes you flustered… your dress slowly falling from your shoulders to your ankles. Saying so cheesy things from him was really unusual and especially at this timing but you’re greatly surprised. Watching him decorating your ears with pretty earrings you know must have been expensive as hell.
«  I need to fuck you wearing it. To make love to you with this, for your birthday.»
And you understand why the sudden interruption and dirty smile on his face.
«  Happy birthday, doll. »

It’s been 3 years since your boyfriend passed away and as much as you try to get over it and move on with your life as you know he’d like you to, sometimes it hits it hard that he’s gone and there’s no going back.
You keep blaming yourself for staying at home to finish dinner and went to the store with him instead. Maybe you would’ve taken longer buying things you didn’t need, maybe you wouldn’t have crossed paths with that drunk driver that ended his life.
When it happened your world was crushed. You didn’t know how to move forward and nothing in life meant sense anymore if you didn’t have him. Walking up without him by your side, eating alone next to his empty chair, watching movies curled up by yourself, going to sleep without an ‘I love you’ and a goodnight kiss.
It hurt to be alive. But at least you had Jeno. He’s been your friend for a long time, even before you had met your boyfriend, and surprisingly he was the one the stayed right by your side when you thought it was all lost. He was there when you wished not to be here anymore, when you needed someone to hold as you cried your eyes dry or just there when you didn’t want to feel alone.
For a long time you knew Jeno had some feelings for you but he was already very respectful of your relationship and your friendship, he always pushed his feelings to the side and even when you were most vulnerable he stood there as your friend and nothing more.
As the days passed you felt color come back into your life. With Jeno you felt like there was still hope that you could be happy again. You started to laugh again, you didn’t cry as much and your heart didn’t feel as empty.
3 years later and life felt worth living. But certain days placed you back in that dark hole that it took so long to get out of. Special days. Like his birthday.
“Hey.” Jeno gives you a sympathy smile as you open the door, buried in one of your late boyfriend’s sweatshirts, blown out nose and watery eyes. “I brought food.”
“Not hungry.” You say in a hoarse voice, turning around to go back to your nest on the couch.
“But it’s your favorite.” He knows you probably haven’t eaten anything all day but he can’t force it on to you otherwise you’ll be even more upset. “Are you gonna let it go to waste?”
“C-Chicken noodle soup?” Only your glistening eyes peek through the blanket you wrapped around yourself.
“With a soda on the side.” With a bright smile he takes a can out the bag and he swears your eyes turn into crescent moons for two seconds before you go back to your tired expression.
“Ok…” Moving to sit on the floor in front of the coffee table, you leave Jeno room next to you as he prepares everything.
“What are we watching?” He finally glances to the TV as you two start eating.
“Just some old videos…” You almost whisper looking down at your plate.
“Wanna tell me about it?” He knows you like to watch videos of you and your past boyfriend on his birthday, even if it breaks your heart, but Jeno also knows he shouldn’t tell you not to watch then, it’s part of your healing.
“This was the last summer we spent together.” Looking back to the screen you sigh. “We went up north to the village by the beach as we usually did. He loved it there. I haven’t been there since…”
“We should go there sometime.” Jeno suggests, thinking maybe it would be good for you.
“What!?” You suddenly turn to him, eyebrows furrowed like he said the most ridiculous thing.
“I know you liked it there too. We can take my car and drive up-”
“Are you crazy?” You suddenly get up, startling your poor friend. “That’s our place! Not yours! You can’t just come in and take his place!”
“I’m sorry.” He gets up too. “He didn’t mean to-”
“You’re not going to replace him, Jeno!” Your tears start rolling down your cheeks again. “You can never replace anyone. What’s lost is lost.”
“But I don’t want to replace him.” His words are calm, contrasting with the anger in your voice. “I know how important he was and will ever be in your life and I would never step over that.”
Slowly he walks your way and you feel your shoulders relax even if your crying doesn’t stop. He always had this power to soothe you down and make you feel like everything will be okay just with a few words.
“I just want to help you heal.” His hand lifts to caress your cheek and you instantly lean onto his touch.
Looking into each others eyes you suddenly feel an urge to kiss him, so you step forward closing the distance between you but as your lips are about to touch he turns his face pulling you into a hug.
“You know I like you. And I really wanted to kiss you right now. But I don’t want to have you like this. I want you to kiss me because you want to, not because you’re in a fragile moment.” His hold and his words are so comforting. “I’ll wait for that day, no matter how long it takes.”

Corals Monthly Update #3
HOHOHO!! FIRST BLOG POST OF 2023 AND I’M NEARLY 2 WEEKS LATE!!! Super sorry about the long wait! I’ve had tests recently and only got off of school like a few days ago haha! So! Welcome back to my monthly update on what I get up to in my life! Now, before we get into January, I, for the final time, have to tap back into the previous month. Curse past me for thinking the 21st was a good day to start doing these!!! ANYHOW! The rest of December and early January were a BLAST! But lemmie talk about what happened after I made the last update. CHRISTMAS!! I had a great time with my family and I got a bunch of fluffy things cuz that’s apparently the easiest thing to get me now. We also had dinner on Christmas day with my Grandparents like every year. Over-all that day was very fun! I even got drunk playing Minecraft which was funny for everyone in VC. The next few days weren’t anything exciting, however my brother Finn had a bunch of his friends over for his birthday which was chaotic. But the excitement picks back up on the 28th! BECAUSE SKYE AND VI CAME OVER FOR NEW YEARS!! We’ve been planning this since like, June, so it was awesome seeing them again! We did all kinds of stuff from shopping to playing some awesome games! (I am now chronically addicted to Ultra Kill thanks guys)
We even did some baking! Here is our glorious creation I dubbed, “The Jimothy”. 
Tumblr media
Overall the rest of December was awesome! I’m glad I got to celebrate New Years with my besties! Overall, I’ll give it a 10/10! Best way to end 2022 >:D Here’s a few more misc photos hehehhehe
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
NOW! FOR JANUARY!! January started off still vibing with the guys. However they would then go home on the 4th which sucks. But before that, both Skye and I spent a lot of money on consoles that are almost as old as ourselves. They bought a fucking PS Vita and I got a motherfucking Wii. We both had fun with em and I even helped Skye homebrew their Vita since I wanted to put PebbleCD on it (I failed but shut uuup) But yea, sadly the guys had to go and it sucked! But I still had a great time. There’s a bit of a gap here right up until the 12th, where finally, the big event happened. CAREY IN THE HOUSE WENT LIVE!! I had finished it a few days prior but figured I’d build up hype by posting it on that Friday. AND IT SURE WORKED! The video blew up faster than any of my videos before it! I am so happy the response has been overwhelmingly positive. I also love how the only main complaint that was common amongst people was that Careys exaggerated accent was annoying which, yea can’t argue against. For anyone wishing for more CITH content, I did a behind the scenes mega thread over on my twitter if you wanna have a deeper look into the production! I’ll even link it here:  https://twitter.com/Carey_Black_/status/1619731723352444928 Now, to move onto why it took me forever to make an update. My mock exams.. BUT BEFORE THAT!! THERE’S ALSO THE FACT THAT MR WULF AND I WERE ABLE TO ARCHIVE THE ORIGINAL EDDSWORLD BANG BOOM SPLAT PROJECT FILE!!
Tumblr media
This all started because Wulf wanted to edit the credits for his arcade BBS build since I was helping him out and since I said SWF modding is hard he just casually asked Psycosis and after seeing his WIP cabinet, gave Wulf the FLA! So a current “BBS arcade version” is in the works by yours truly thanks to both the generosity of Psycosis and the fact that Mr Wulf is a fucking mad man who could stop global warming in a month if he wanted to LOL! Here’s Wulfs finished Cabinet btw!:  https://twitter.com/MrWulfOfficial/status/1622295302685315073 But yea, for real. My mock exams were a pain! For those outside of Ireland or have a different name for em, Mock exams are, well, exams that act like a practice run for your finals. They’re always harder than the actual finals and are usually graded stricter too! Why? Who knows! The Irish education system is a joke. I feel like I did somewhat ok in them anyway? Some were definitely worse than others but overall it was more of an inconvenience. I did get this really cool art piece out of it however.
Tumblr media
Exams would later spill over into February and like I said at the start, I finished and got off school a few days ago. Overall, this month was about a 7/10. It was pretty good, especially in the Eddsworld department, but mocks and other personal tid bits I didn’t mention here dragged it down for me. Since February seems to be mostly me being off school, I hope this month will be better haha! Only time will tell! Thank you for reading! And I hope to see you next month!! (Hopefully on time too haha!)

hi jade !!! oh my gosh i just finished reading chapter 9 and the amount of emotions i felt is insane 😵‍💫
starting of with the yongbok situation, oh god how do i start. FIRST of all i don’t know if i’m starting to dislike him, but i do feel a little bit bad for him, i mean i get what yeonjun said, he might just be insecure after being y/n’s best friend for years, he’s used to y/n being always next to him, and hanging out with him all the time, he might just be scared that hyunjin’s taking his place or maybe he’s scared that they will fall apart, but i still don’t think this excuses the way he treats her. he should try to at least talk to her about it instead of blowing up and leaving y/n to be confused or lead to her overthinking. i mean they’re BEST FRIENDS and i thought there’s supposed to be no secrets kept from one another yk? yeah i don’t know if i’m mad at yongbok or not but ik i just don’t like him rn, maybe he’ll have his redemption arc when he finally tells y/n what’s going on 😕
ANYWAY moving on to hana ! she didn’t really make much appearances in chapter 9 but re-reading the last chapter, i just noticed how manipulative she is to y/n, i don’t know if it’s on purpose or she really doesn’t know she’s doing it BUT sometimes i feel so bad for y/n when hana starts talking sometimes, especially the time she was planning yongbok’s birthday, i wouldn’t be happy to be called “a pain in the ass” either. but yeah, i really need y/n to talk to her about this if hana continues to speak hurtful things about her, like if she’s doing this on purpose i need y/n to drop her ASAP. also i feel like she has a trick up her sleeve.. i can’t explain it but she’s a little suspicious 🧐 i guess we’ll see in the next chapters though :D.
OKAYYY now about yeonjun. i feel really bad about him honestly, especially with how his best friend doesn’t want to talk to him, aka yongbok, but i think he’s happier and i’m glad y/n saw him at the bar and kept in touch with him. i know hana and his break up probably hurt him too, and the way they’re treating him is so unfair, because like they said, hana broke up with him. they could’ve made it work even if he moved to another city. i know hana was probably scared but the way she keeps blaming yeonjun? it’s really unfair :( but either way he’s been such a good friend to y/n and he’s probably one of my favorite characters ! the way he didn’t hold grudges, love that for him <3
okay now for y/n. i feel really bad for her, that’s what i wanted to say the most. she has been feeling probably like shit lately with yongbok arguing with her and the hyunjin situation. i’m glad she has a friend like yeonjun for her to lean on bc if it weren’t for him she would probably be in a worse mental state right now. but yeah anyway, she’s probably really guilty with how everything is turning out and thinks everything is her fault even though it’s not 💔 i really hope she gets to resolve the argument with yongbok so she can help him with his issue or talk to him about what’s happening. she really doesn’t deserve how she’s being treated rn because all she has been was nice and sweet idk what their problem is with her, but they do take advantage of that a lot, knowing y/n will always forgive them and make them think she’s always at fault.
lastly, THE hwang hyunjin. it’s funny how much he denies that he likes y/n, i mean it’s so obvious to everyone about how in love they are with each other, even yeonjun thought they were together !!! hyunjin really needs to make up his mind because y/n is starting to think that he just sees her as a friend and him avoiding her probably made her feel worse but i am glad that he wants to talk to y/n about his art again and probably explain himself which will probably lift some weight off her shoulders. i really hope they resolve this issue bc he’s so good to y/n :( this is yongbok’s fault /j.
ANYWAYYYY oh gosh i’m so sorry this is so long 😭 but thank you sm for this chapter !! i’m looking forward to what’s gonna happen in the next one 🤩 stay safe and take care lovely !
- 🥟
idk how i missed this 😭 thank you for sending me such a beautiful review of part 9 🥺
understandable, yongbok is in a sad situation and doesn’t really know how to act regarding it. definitely letting insecurities and jealousy getting the best of him 😔 as for hana,, im not sure if what you were talking about was resolved in part 10. but she can be manipulative, even if unknowingly.
happy to know that yeonjun is one of your favorite characters, and yn definitely did go through all the shit with feeling guilty and like its her fault :/
don’t apologise for it being long, im sorry for missing it in my inbox 😭 thank you so much for telling me your thoughts :)

Aoi: Van Gogh-kun, are you there?
Van Gogh: …! Ah, yes! Come in! You can come in!
Aoi: Van Gogh-kun, happy birthd– What happened to your left ear?
Van Gogh: Uh? A-Ah, it's like I was touching it unconsciously. It's nothing!
… Hahaha, I can't be alone here, can I?
Aoi: …?
Van Gogh: No, it’s nothing. … Come to think of it, I've known you for a long time now, Miss Curator.
Aoi: What's the matter, all of a sudden?
Van Gogh: Because I had a conversation like that with Courbet earlier. I was a bit moved by it.
I couldn't draw as well as everyone else, and I know I caused you a lot of trouble. Thank you for all you have done for me.
Aoi: You didn’t cause me any trouble. I am so happy to see you grow by my side. Actually, I should be sorry. I've said some pretty harsh words, haven't I?
Van Gogh: Not at all! It's very nice of you to point out things I didn't notice…! I’m able to paint here now because there are people around me who say so. I still have a long way to go compared to everyone else, and I need to work harder.
Aoi: Yes, I will continue to support you.
Van Gogh: … Thank you, Miss Curator. You always support me... really.
Aoi: This is the way it's supposed to be.
Van Gogh: No. Because it may be a long time in the future before my efforts are truly recognized. Maybe after I die, they will finally recognize me. And yet you and everyone else expect me to do it, don't you? That makes me so happy... I can't thank you enough.
Aoi: Your efforts will be recognized, Van Gogh-kun. Even now, the people who understand get the message.
Fufufu, if the day comes when you’ll be appreciated on a grand scale, I’ll proudly say “I helped with that Van Gogh painting”.
Van Gogh: Woaaah! Then I'll have to work a lot to make you proud…!
Aoi: Do your best in moderation. Van Gogh-kun, you tend to push yourself too hard.
Van Gogh: Okay, thank you. I'm really grateful. To my friends, my rivals and my teacher as well–
Aoi: … Ah, yes yes, that’s right. I remembered when you said “teacher”. Kuroda-san asked me to invite you.
Van Gogh: Uh, Kuroda-san? What happened?
Aoi: I think it's for your birthday celebration? I think he was preparing something…
Van Gogh: Kuroda-san is…? I can't imagine that at all.
Aoi: Hahaha… Van Gogh-kun. Once again, happy birthday!
Van Gogh: Miss Curator… Thank you! I'm off for a bit!
Kuroda: Jeez, I thought I'd get tired of waiting. You didn't get lost like Katsushika does, did you?
Van Gogh: Uuuh… My apologies! I got into a conversation with Miss Curator…
Kuroda: Well, that's fine anyway. It doesn't matter when you come, it's just going to be late to give this to you.
Van Gogh: …? Is that… a canvas? It looks pretty small, though…
Kuroda: What, did you forget what you said before? You said you wanted my paintings.
Van Gogh: Huh…!? T-Then this is…!
Kuroda: Today is your birthday. I'm sure I won't be punished for doing this much for you.
In return, you must make a promise.
Van Gogh: …? A promise?
Kuroda: Don't use my painting as a reference. Don't even try it. Paint only what you believe in.
Van Gogh: Only what I believe in…
Kuroda: All this time you have been painting what you believe in. Apparently, that's the way it works for you.
I'm disappointed in myself for judging you based on the first picture I saw, when I could have stretched it out that way… But oh well, whatever you do, keep up the good work and keep trying to exceed my expectations.
Van Gogh: … Yeah! Thank you, Kuroda-san! I’ll definitely show you! Look forward to it!
Kuroda: Don't get carried away. That's why monkeys are so annoying.
Van Gogh: Hooray, hooray, Kuroda-san’s painting! I'll show it to Gauguin!
Kuroda: … Sigh.
Hiroshige: Oh, you both are here. Preparations for the party will be finished soon. Since it was Van Gogh-dono's party, many people were very enthusiastic this time, and it was quite a nice thing to do–
Oops, let me keep myself quiet about this. It's something to look forward to once you get there.
Kuroda: You might want to sew your mouth shut, don’t you think so? We don't want you to say more than you do.
Hiroshige: Hahaha, you still say scary things. Typical of you, Kuroda-dono.
Well, let's go then. Everyone is waiting for you.
Van Gogh: Aaah, I can’t wait…!

Week 4: Midterms, Friends, Mallorca!
Hi everyone! Sorry this post is a little late as I had a crazy week so just had the chance to sit down and write this post.
Monday, we had our physics midterm which was open note, 10 multiple choice questions, and 10% of our grade. I scrambled in the morning to get my notes printed but figured it out just in time for our 9:00 am exam. The exam was not too difficult. After, we had a physics tutorial and then I wrote my history essay that was due at 9:00 pm. I procrastinated the essay but ended up finishing around 7:00 pm. That night, we went to student night at Dicey’s Garden Club and had a (too) fun time.

It was a struggle to get up Tuesday, but luckily we just had physics lecture and history lecture in the morning and a screening of the film Belfast that afternoon. The rest of the day was nothing too interesting, just laundry and planning upcoming trips.
Wednesday morning, I woke up early because my friend Kate from home flew in around 6:00 am! She arrived at UCD around 7:00 am and after getting ready we headed into town. We headed to breakfast and then explored Dublin. We were able to see the Book of Kells and The Long Room(most of the books are not there which was disappointing) at Trinity College as well as go into Saint Patricks Cathedral. We then shopped around and stopped in for Lunch before heading back to UCD for my lab. This lab was particularly challenging and long so we used the full three hours. After lab, I came back and got ready and we headed into town for dinner along with Sammy. We ate at Boeuf which was amazing steak, potatoes, and vegetables. After dinner, we met the rest of our friends in Temple Bar area and hopped around to different pubs until around 2:00 am. It was a wild but super fun night.

Thursday morning, Kate, Alex, and I got up early and ran to Blackrock for coffee and a quick bite to eat. We bused home and Alex and I headed to class while Kate took a nap and then exploded Dublin more. After class, Kate and I headed to the airport to catch a flight to Mallorca, Spain. Our flight got delayed so we didn’t arrive at the place we were staying in Magaluf until around 2:30 am. In Mallorca, we met up with my friend Jordyn who is studying in Madrid this summer and her friend Isa from her program. I was so excited to see Jordyn but exhausted from the long day of travel so we headed to bed.

Friday, we woke up, grabbed a croissant and coffee, and headed to Cala Cap Falcó via taxi where we relaxed, swam, and ate lunch. It was an amazing day and so good to relax by the ocean. It was difficult to find a taxi back so we ended up taking the bus which was easy to use and worked well. We got back and showered and headed into Palma to explore and for dinner. It was St John’s Day Saturday so there were festivities Friday night by the beach which were super cool/ The cathedral there was also gorgeous along with the palace and the restaurant was amazing. We got a taxi back and headed out to explore the night life in Magaluf. We had a fun night but had an early morning planned Saturday so didn’t stay out too late.

Saturday, around 9:30 we got picked up in a van to go to 3 of the best beaches on the island. It was also Jordyn’s birthday so I was so happy I got to spend the day with her. We first headed to Caló Des Moro, then Cala s’Almunia, and finally Cala Llombards. All three were absolutely beautiful and we were able to go cliff jumping, snorkeling, paddle boarding, and off a rope swing throughout the day. It was the perfect day and we had so much fun. We arrived back at our place and rested, got ready, and headed to dinner in Puerto Portals. The dinner was amazing and the restaurant was gorgeous. After dinner, we took a quick nap and then headed to BCM which was a huge club. We had a great night and ended up in bed around 5:00 am.

It was a struggle to get up the next morning, but we packed up, checked out, and headed to get brunch. The food was amazing(a common thing for this trip). Kate and I then said bye to Jordyn and Isa and we headed to the airport to catch our flight back to Dublin. We arrived back to UCD around 7:45 and headed into town to get some fish and chips. They were amazing and along with our lack of sleep immediately sent us into a food coma. We got back to UCD and headed to sleep immediately.

This morning, I woke up and Kate left before I headed to class :(. We only had class until 1:00 pm today so my plans for today include laying in bed. This week, like most, is going to be another crazy fun week so I can’t wait to show you more!
