Kinou Nani tabeta. aka My Heart is Full aka I suck at titles

Let me just say before anything else. This is not a recap or a review. This is me feeling the need to write down my feelings because they are pouring out of me. This is more a personal note than anything else so skip it if that's not your thing.

I always watch this show on saturday mornings, with my coffee and breakfast, because it gives me a boost for the weekend. And I wanted to postpone the final episode as much as possible but I just couldn't. I gave in.

Second FYI. This will probably be incoherent and a mess because that's how I feel. Also, this fucking menopause (surgical, don't give me too many extra years) is really making a mess of my emotional state this week, so I'm all over the place. Also I might've had some wine. Also this may be a bit long. I think that's it.

How I got here

So, I've loved cinema since I was like 7. (yeah I'm going really back in time) Because my mom like films, she dragged to the cinema even when I was way too young for whatever was on. [ Fun Side note- The first film that I saw in the cinema was Bram Stoker's Dracula, when I was like 6, and my mum got into an argument with the cinema employee because" I am her mother, and I'll decide what she can or can't watch"and so I did watch it.]

So I always loved watching films, talking about them and eventually went to uni to learn how to make them. During that time, I went through a phase (which happened to a couple other people in my school) where I kinda got emotionally detached from the stories. I could only see the camera angles, the lighting, the editing, etc.

When I was done with uni, and had decided that editing was my favourite thing I started doing a bit of work in editing, mostly online stuff and a couple of ads in London, and 3 years later I was done. Obviously there were life factors and health factors that contributed to this, but still I left it all behind.

Then, I quickly went back to being able to watch stories with all the emotions.

Let's skip forward to present day.

Kinou Nani Tabeta? feel in my lap by way of my very first BL. Seven Days. I watched those films and went through all the emotions and needed more. More of that serotonin please.

So I got in research mode and that's when I found this wonderful world of BL and eventually this show.

Now, a little bit more about me, just in case you aren't sick of me talking about myself. I'm not a jolly person. If you asked anyone that knows me irl, they would describe me as someone who always thinks the sky is falling. However, I also love a lot of things deeply, and when it comes to things that I can't find a word big enough for it I call it magic. So I'll use it here.

Kinou Nani Tabeta? is magic.

If this show was a meal then the absolutely right ingredients were found, they were put in the hands of the best cooks and everything was prepared with love and care. This show that I love, was put together by people who love it, and couldn't not make it. This is what I believe. It's my kind of faith.

I've seen so many shows, I've loved so many of them, a lot of them touched me deeply. But only a few touched me this way.

When there is love in something, real care and empathy in the making of something, you can feel it, I believe. And I feel it so much watching this show. I get emotional just writing this.

I wish I could thank every single person that made this show possible. And we could argue all day about the quality of a show, its actors, writers or directors. I could argue why my favourite show is better than your favourite show, and why your show is more important than my show, and why that show failed and another succeeded. I will not argue about the importance of this show and my faith is unshakable.

Maybe because I love food so much and in my life my love filled moments were always around food, I connected at first with Kenji, because his reactions to food resemble mine. But this season Shiro stole my heart and soul. His quiet but profound way of loving Kenji made cry more than any sad scene ever could. And onions and chicken thighs will forever have deeper meaning in my kitchen. These two characters are so well written and so well acted, the words are so layered and so meaningful, that it's a miracle to me that it exists and that I got to watch it.

I'm sure other people will write much better posts about this show, and will probably be better (at a hell of a lot more on point) at writing about all the amazing things that this show has done. But I'm an emotional wreck and I could only write from a personal place today.

I'll be rewatching this show in it's entirety soon, because the evolution of these characters, Shiro specially, was such a joy to witness.

If you read this far, thank you. 💜

#kinou nani tabeta?#what did you eat yesterday?#what did you eat yesterday S2 #it has never been so hard to hit the post button #i'm having so many feeling about posting this #i'm a wreck right now

Top-5 moments of the season for you (any sport)

This is extremely long overdue because I have shit memories so I barely remember what happened especially because it's been a painful season for me so more reason for me to delete stuff from my head. (Plus I knew this list is going to be mostly about Celestino so I need to think of other moments that had given me serotonin boost hhh) Anyway, here we go!

5) F1 British GP

No offense but F1 has always been a bit boring to me and I've expected the racing to be closer this year due to the cost cap but welp, that doesn't happen unfortunately. Anyway, I remember watching this race with little expectation because I just want to fill the void of motogp summer break. But it turns out to be really interesting!! And Mick got his first points so that's a really nice bonus. Despite it all, I'm still really grateful Zhou and Alex are fine after that first lap chaos.

4) F1 Austrian GP

I thought it was coincidence and stroke of luck to get a fun race but the next weekend we are blessed with another awesome race! The podium doesn't reflect it much but it is a really fun race I had a serotonin boost that makes me go to class the next day in a good mood lol. Mick got driver of the day that race and all of my family cheers for him from what my sister tells me. It was a coincidence that my twin tunes in for the race since she usually don't and yeah, she had a blast that day especially because she's a huge fan of Mick. It was overall a really nice weekend for me and one that brings a smile whenever I recall back.

3) Moto2 Argentina GP

When Chantra won the Indonesia GP, I told my sister that I need the Idemitsu Asia duo and Cele to be on the podium together at least once this year. And then my wish come true 2 weeks later! I still think that Cele is not in the wrong in that controversial collision with Fermìn and it pains me whenever I see people blaming him for that still which makes me bitter. Yet I love the podium so much and he did awesome in that race! Plus he said in the post race interview that he meet Fermìn after the race and apologize because he doesn't want it to end that way and just hhh. That really reminds me of why he is my fav rider.

2) Moto3, Moto2 and MotoGP Qatar GP

It's the first race of the season and damn what a wonderful Sunday. I only start watching Friday and Saturday session in Jerez so I don't even know Cele got pole hhh. I was gutted for Ayumu but Migno end up winning! And Cele did a dominant race and win from pole! And what an emotional win for Gresini! Basically it's a rollercoaster of emotions and I swear I look like a mad woman that day lol. But really, that moto2 race is such a huge serotonin boost especially when I hear championship leader celestino vietti for the first time and ah, that was a really wonderful Sunday.

1) Moto2 Catalan GP

Okay I will be honest. I needed that win. Especially because Mugello is so painful and seeing him on the bike and looking so heartbroken- okay. Classic Cele having a shit start and need to play catch up. I had my heart in my mouth the whole race and I can barely feel my fingers especially the last few laps. I really thought Canet got it in the bag and that little menace (affectionate) did that last lap overtake and won and I just- I was gaping like a fish, screamed and just broke down. It was relief, happiness and other emotions too and I really, really needed that. I was so over the moon it was when MotoGP about to start that I registered just how ugly that glasses he wore on the podium was lol. But that weekend is so nice it made my whole week and I still rewatch that last lap whenever I feel down because that just how much important that race is to me.

....sorry waru I end up mostly rambling about cele instead hhhh

#would have include badminton too but i didnt watch a single match this year because i cant find any stream :(((#and theres no tournament when i was home so i only know a bit from my sisters #not much of a badminton fan but whenever malaysian players win or did an awesome match it does feel good #reminds me of lee chong wei era where everyone is united and we all have a blast whenever he won in tournaments hmm #my toxic trait is concluding the whole weekend based on how cele did so yeah theres too many races being erased from my head 😔#anyway thanks waru for this ask!!#this makes me think back of all the nice races we had this year and not all races are horrible #love you 😘🫶#la réponse 💗

Happy Saturday mbb secret santee Addy! So I gotta ask a few favorite questions because I'm curious. What is your favorite season? Your favorite holiday? Are you a pet person? :)

Happy Saturday!

Ooohh good questions! My favorite season… part of me wants to say winter. I love the cold and I think fresh snow is the most beautiful sight to see… but I also hate ice lol at least once a year I eat it on the ice, honestly surprised I’m still alive/haven’t broken anything.

Fall is a close second ! I live in New England, and it’s absolutely stunning when the leaves change color.

The serotonin boost I get from orange leaves… unreal 😌

My favorite holiday is Christmas! I’m a little over the top with it, but it’s such a great holiday. I decorate super early and start listening to Christmas music before most other people. And I love gift giving!

I am a pet person! I adopted an adult cat about a decade ago. He tragically passed away at the end of 2020, but he was my buddy. I’ve actually been thinking about getting another cat soon! Definitely more of a cat person than a dog person, but I love them both.

This was my cat, Furgie

What about you?

#hope your weekend’s going well!! 😊#mx: secret santa #addy.txt

i wanted to write something soft and self-indulgent with xyx because i'm a writer and i'm allowed to do lowkey self-inserts if i want to. if you can't write something for your brain's serotonin levels then what can you write for? loosely inspired by a high school musical marathon that reminded me just how adorable the can i have this dance scene is from the third one. also mixed with some of my own personal experiences for the vibes. enjoy some incredibly soft rom-com boyfriend xyx being his best romantic self on a rooftop garden.

Saturdays were, undoubtedly, one of your favourite days of the week. There was no going to work, nor was there the looming threat of further work in the oncoming day. It was the day to spend an extra hour in bed after staying up a little later than usual. It was the day to finally get around to whatever chores or tasks that needed doing. But, most importantly, it was also the day Xyx didn't have to go into the office, meaning the pair of you could plan almost anything at your disposal. Whether that be going out for an extravagant date or staying in with Cat, whatever the plans may be, you were guaranteed to spend the afternoon basking in the other's company. Today was no different, Xyx lounging in sweatpants and an old t-shirt with Cat sitting on his lap and your feet resting on either side of Cat. The morning had passed by slowly, nothing of note planned after the long week left you both feeling all kinds of drained and exhausted. All you needed was a peaceful day of doing nothing in the other's company.

Being early spring meant it was still that little bit too cold for some of Xyx's more adrenaline-boosting activities. So, naturally, you'd both agreed upon a comfy day at home in the warmth. Outside, clouds peppered the blue midday sky, stretching over the expanse of the city beyond your apartment windows. You and Xyx had moved into the apartment building recently, your first endeavour into living with one another since you started dating. It had been going well, the bliss of the relationship still glittering in the sheen of the new apartment. Each morning you woke up to Xyx's face blemished with the tiredness that the early hours brought with them, Cat laying by your feet curled up and content atop the blanket bought especially for them. There was no greater existence imaginable. Nor could you barely remember a time before the insatiable happiness that was being with Xyx. Even now, sitting in silence scrolling on your phones, perhaps speaking or laughing when one sends a funny tweet or video they saw to the other, brought about a distinct sense of bliss that was entirely unique and exclusive to the bond you both shared.

Xyx sighed heavily, his phone now on his lap as he threw his head back on the sofa, closing his eyes as he did so.

"You good over there, love?" You ask, looking up at the exasperation with which your boyfriend radiated.

"Yeah. Just bored."

Moving your legs from Xyx's lap, you shifted over to sit beside him, raising a hand to push his hair back from his forehead. "Oh, you poor baby. Whatever can I do to cure you of this ailment?"

"You joke but can we actually do something?" Xyx looked up, wide eyes and a slight pout in the hopes it's sway your decision further. Not that he really needed it, most of Xyx's requests were met with happy acceptance. But it was still sweet to see him try a little extra softness as a persuasive technique.

"Got something in mind?" You ask, watching his face light up as you nod. His answering grin sent a wave of wariness through you, memories of some of Xyx's past ideas flooding your mind. "Nothing dangerous or too wild, please. I'd rather not have to take a trip to the hospital this afternoon."

"You're no fun," Xyx teased as he gently moved Cat from his lap so that he could stand up, holding out a hand for you. "No hospitals, no injuries. Promise. Now, do you trust me?"

"Regrettably, yes," were your only words as you took Xyx's hands and followed him in his master plan to relieve himself of the boredom that had overcome him. Expecting him to lead you down to your car for a spontaneous trip out for food or to see a movie, you happily let Xyx take the lead. Though, much to your surprise, when the elevator approached and the two of you stepped in, Xyx chose a different course. Any questions were met with teasing remarks to wait and see because how could he ruin the surprise already? Entirely in character and aligned with his usual ways. Xyx being secretive like this typically meant he either had something in mind that where safety was an afterthought, not a concern, or he was planning something exceptionally sweet and romantic that felt like it was lifted from the pages of a romance novel. And, of course, he would never specify which option was about to take place, only deepening the apprehension. Though, even if the former were to come true, you knew deep down you'd never get bored with Xyx.

Eyeing Xyx with suspicion, you folded your arms across your chest. "Are you sure this isn't some plot to get rid of me so you get Cat all to yourself again?"

Xyx's laugh resonated in the elevator, its slow ascent soon approaching its destination. "No ulterior motives, doll. Although now that you mention it, maybe it's not a bad idea aft-hey!" He complained, recoiling from your playful, but strong, poke to his chest. Before you could dispute his claims, the elevator reached a stop and its doors opened, revealing an empty corridor save for a small set of stairs leading to a doorway at its peak. Xyx stepped out, gesturing for you to follow as he began to climb the stairs.

"Are you sure we're allowed to be up here? Doesn't that door lead out onto the roof?"

"If we get caught, it'll just make for the perfect action movie leap off the edge as we leap onto the building next door. Come on, I've got something to show you." Xyx held his hand out once more, his expression genuine and painted with a sincerity he often didn't let show unless the moment truly called for it. Recognising the urge within him, you accepted his hand once more and ascended the small staircase. Once at the top, Xyx instructs you to close your eyes to truly 'savour the surprise', as he put it. The doors open and a rush of cool spring air dances over your face. Your eyes remain closed as Xyx leads you out further into the gentle breeze that brushed the bare skin of your arms, suddenly making you very acute to the fact that perhaps your state of dress wasn't the most appropriate for fighting the elements. Still, there was no changing it now and Xyx certainly didn't care about the slight chill in the air.

"Okay. Now, open your eyes," he instructed from a few paces away, hands gesturing to the rooftop. Looking around, your eyes adjusted the light, uncovering a garden spread atop the roof of the apartment building. There was enough empty space to provide an expansive walkway between large plant beds, small trees and flowerpots. The breeze swept through leaves, sounds of rustling nature a complete juxtaposition from the distant sound of cars and people going about the city below. The clouds filtered the sun's light, casting a dulled film over the view.

"I didn't even know there was anything up here," you mused, taking a few absentminded steps, fingers lightly touching a nearby plant. A pair of arms slid around your waist, holding you tightly against Xyx's chest. "How did you know this was all up here?"

"Oh now come on, love, I could never divulge my secrets like that, could I?" His hands came to clasp onto yours, guiding you to turn around in his arms. "Now, the reason why I brought you up here." He released his hold on your hands and jogged toward the centre of the rooftop garden, sweeping an exaggerated curtsey.

"What on earth are you doing? Aren't the men supposed to bow anyway?" You laughed, watching his face twist in feigned offence.

"If a man wishes to curtsey, he may curtsey. Anyway, unimportant. Might I have this dance?" Xyx asked, waiting for you to accept the offer and join him on the makeshift dancefloor. Matching his dramatic curtsey, you moved closer, letting Xyx take the lead as he started to waltz atop the rooftop. His hand was firm on your waist, guiding you in clumsy steps about all the plants and greenery.

"Aren't you supposed to play music when you dance?" You asked, laughing as Xyx released his grip on your waist to twirl you around, pulling you in again closer; his hand returned to its spot on your waist, sliding ever so slightly lower to your hips.

He leaned in close, whispering in your ear. "Where's your imagination, doll? Close your eyes. It's a ballroom and we're dressed all fancy. All eyes on us, got it?"

Eyes now closed once more, you nodded, imagining the scene before opening your eyes to Xyx ever closer.

"Hi," you whispered, despite being the only ones around. Even now, his mere presence still sent an unshakeable fluttering through your stomach. His effect was near intoxicating. Hours could be spent lost inside his deep green eyes. Not without sufficient teasing, of course, but that was simply another of Xyx's charms and reasons why you adored him so. Your dance had become a gentle sway with no specific rhythm to it. You were simply two bodies basking in the other's presence under the clouded cover of the sky. Though the peace was soon shattered by a few droplets of rain splashing specks onto your faces. Looking up to the sky, it became very apparent there was far more where that came from. The previously pale grey had turned murky, permeating the sky in darkness. Raindrops fell heavier and faster, soon coating the light grey of the rooftop.

Xyx tipped his head back forward to gaze at you, an eyebrow raised. "Why not stop now, right, love?" And so you danced together in the rain, clothes and hair soon soaked through. Despite the cold sinking under your skin, there was no desire to shatter the sweet moment—a snapshot from a romance film you'd once watched together. Xyx held you in close, nose brushing yours as he smiled so deeply and genuinely. It was one of those smiles that assured you of all the emotions he so often kept hidden inside. Seeing him look so softly vulnerable spoke a thousand and one words, all directly pouring from Xyx's heart into yours through that iron-clad grip your gazes shared. He shifted his face ever closer, letting you close the gap between your rain decorated lips, the initial touch sparked by cold than soon dissipated into a shared warmth. Your hands played with the hair at the nape of his neck while Xyx's hands were firm on your lower back with zero intentions of letting you out into the cold rain anymore than you needed to be.

"Dancing and sharing a kiss in the rain? I do think we've checked two things off the bucket list there, love." Xyx mused, pressing his forehead to yours as he closed his eyes in contented bliss.

"I didn't realise you had a list," you commented, fingers absentmindedly threading in his hair.

"Only since I met you. Told you I'd gone soft, didn't I, doll?"

You leaned back inquisitively, eyeing Xyx with curious wonder. "What? So was moving in together on there or—?"

Xyx nodded, cheeks somehow turning red even under the cold atmosphere surrounding you both. It was almost as if you'd turned immune to its effect. "Among other things. Which I will be happy to share, in as much detail as you wish. But first, a hot shower is needed because if you're out here much longer that nose of yours is going to freeze off," Xyx stated, a finger gently flicking the tip of your nose, flushed and tender in the cold. Laughing under his teasing touch, the two of you made your way into the cover of the apartment building, adrenaline coursing through you both at the sheer memory of your rooftop tryst. Perhaps living with Xyx was going to be far more innocently romantic than you'd first expected.

Yay, hi Caitlin!! I’ve been rereading PSOLC for a much-needed thesis writer’s block serotonin boost 💕 I’m sure it’s a plan for the main story, but I’d love to see a little Spencer birthday drabble 🥺

I LOVE WRITING BABY SPENCER SO MUCH. ALSO GOOD LUCK ON YOUR THESIS!!

----------

“Is he still sleeping?” Hotch whispered.

“Yeah,” Alex whispered back. “How’s everything going?”

“Dave took the rest of the kids over about half an hour ago, so we can leave whenever we’re ready.”

She looked down at Spencer asleep beside her. “Give me just a little bit of time to wake him up,” she said. “Maybe fifteen minutes?”

“I’ll grab the last of the stuff and take it to the car then,” Hotch said.

Alex adjusted Spencer’s blanket around him. They had been racking their brains for two weeks trying to figure out a way to keep him distracted, and luckily for them Spencer had had a rough night and could barely stay awake during breakfast. It had taken very little effort to convince him to take a nap, especially when Alex offered to snuggle with him. He had fallen asleep in her arms almost immediately, and it made it very convenient for everyone else to sneak off campus without ruining the surprise.

Alex let him sleep a little longer, watching his chest rise and fall steadily, but finally she leaned over to kiss his forehead. “Hey, sleepyhead,” she said softly. “Time to wake up.”

He nuzzled his cheek against her shoulder. “I’m tired,” he yawned.

“It’s Saturday, it’s time to go over to the playground,” she said. She kissed his cheek. “Do you want to go play with your friends?”

He nodded and wriggled out of her arms to slide sleepily to the floor. “I’m still tired,” he said.

“I know, my love, but you can sleep in the car,” she said. “Get your shoes on. Oh, and James is going to come with us, okay?”

Spencer wrinkled his nose. “Is James ever going to be your boyfriend?” he asked. “I think he wants to.”

“Oh, no, we’re just friends, and he just wants to come with us today,” Alex said. “Which jacket do you want to wear?”

She got him into a warm jacket and walked him out to the parking lot. “Hey, guys, you ready?” James asked.

Spencer yawned. “Birdy said I could sleep in the car, I’m still tired,” he said.

“Yeah, you can,” Hotch said. “As long as you’re awake once we get to the playground.”

Spencer climbed into his booster seat and buckled himself in. “I’m going to turn ten on Thursday, can I stop using a carseat?” he asked.

“You have to grow a little bit taller first, Bug,” James said. Spencer huffed in annoyance.

Alex sat next to him in the backseat while James drove and Hotch took the passenger seat. Spencer was quiet, but he never fully dozed off. He didn’t seem to suspect a thing.

James parked at the indoor playground and Hotch helped Spencer out of the backseat. “There’s so many balloons by the door,” he remarked. “I guess there’s a birthday party today.” He sighed heavily. “That means it’s going to be more busy than normal.”

Hotch barely hid his smile. “Yeah, probably,” he said.

Alex held Spencer’s hand as they walked inside. She had figured that he would realize what was happening as soon as they went into the lobby, but apparently the group of his friends, the pile of presents, and the purple birthday banner with his name on it wasn’t enough of a clue.

“Spencer, you’re here!” Nell said. She ran over to him with Finn and Lina at her heels. “Are you surprised? It’s been so hard to keep it a secret.”

Spencer made a face as he saw Dave, Emily, and Derek. “You guys are too old to be here,” he said. James burst out laughing. “What? They are!”

“Happy birthday!” Nell shrieked, and then they were all shouting it, loud and happy and excited. Spencer was silent. Alex squeezed his hand, waiting for him to answer.

He burst into tears.

“Oh, Spencer!” she said, startled. He buried his face in her stomach and she picked him up, holding him on her hip. “What’s wrong? Why are you crying?”

“I’ve never had a birthday party before,” he sobbed into her shoulder. “It’s a lot to process right now.”

“We might have surprised him too much,” Emily said.

Hotch rubbed his back. “Well, you deserve a party, Bug,” he said. “Happy birthday.”

Spencer lifted his head from Alex’s shoulder. “Is there cake?” he hiccuped.

“Of course there’s cake!” James said. “My dad made it.”

“And we’ve got ice cream, and pizza, and a ton of presents,” Dave said.

Alex set Spencer down on his feet. “Really?” he said.

“Really,” Lina said, taking his hand. “C’mon, you should open my present first.”

Derek looked over at the playground. “Am I really too old to play in there?” he said. “That looks like fun.”

This is a day late, but here's a birthday fic I wrote for my favorite man, Dazai♡

Happy Birthday, Love♡

"Good morning!"

A cheery voice echoed in Dazai's ear. He groaned at the noise. It was only 5 in the morning.

"Who?", he managed to grumble into the phone, shifting on his bed to stretch his legs.

"It's me, Dummy. Wake up and get ready. I'm picking you up in 5."

His eyes shot open. Why the fuck were you picking him up at 5.05 am on a fucking Saturday?

"Y/N, it's literally dark out there, "

"Shut up. Be ready!"

With that, you hung up.

Dazai groaned into his pillow, fisting the sheets and preparing himself to get out of bed.

He rolled off the edge, quite literally, and landed on his bum, hissing at the cold that kissed his ass.

He stumbled to get ready, pulling on his favourite hoodie and throwing on some jeans.

In exactly 5 minutes, his doorbell rang.

He huffed, pulling it open, and was about to whine when he took in the sight of you.

There you stood, a bright smile on your face and a bouquet in your arms.

On the flowers a hideously large note read, "Happy Birthday, Osa!"

He blinked, remembering that today was, infact, 19th June. The day he was born.

"Happy birthday, baby!"

You extended your arms, thrusting the flowers in his face. He smiled at you, accepting the flowers and pulling you in.

"Whoa-"

You were cut short by a pair of lips slamming down onto your own.

Dazai had you pinned to his door as he passionately kissed you, pouring all his love and thanks into it. He trailed his hand along your sides, eliciting an excited shiver down your spine. His tongue claimed your mouth as it's own, making you whimper at the intensity of the kiss.

You pushed his shoulders, trying to create some distance between your heaving chests.

"Not... not now!"

You grinned up at your whiny boyfriend.

"But why can't we just tear our clothes off and-"

"No! I'm not celebrating your special day like this."

He pouted, his angelic features almost making you give in. Almost.

"I have something planned for you, love. "

He smirked, leaning forward to kiss along your neck.

"Do you... really... want... to miss out... on this?"

He asked you between kisses. You gulped, pushing him away.

"No! Not now! Maybe later."

He grinned coyly at your flustered state, before yelping at the sudden pull of you grabbing his arm.

You pulled him out of the house, slamming the door behind you, and sprinting down the hall. He stumbled to keep up to you, your entwined fingers pulling him forward.

You reached down stairs to your motorcycle, putting your helmet on and tossing one towards your favorite brunet.

"Come on!"

You ushered him to sit behind you, and once he was seated, you revved you bike to life. You roared through the empty streets of Yokohama. Dazai felt excited, the rush of the wind against his face igniting a flame of exhilaration through his bones.

He hugged your waist, leaning into your warmth as the cool wind nipped at his skin, eliciting shivers.

He watched as the sun rose, it's reddish rays expanding over the land, like how the ocean usurps the sandy beach with every wave. He was left awestruck at how beautiful the city looked. There was so much beauty in this world. He was glad to be able to witness it. Especially glad that he was with you. You were another one of nature's beauties. He adored you so much. He maybe even loved you. But he wouldn't tell you that, for he wasn't sure if the feelings were reciprocated. Nonetheless, being able to spend time with you was a blessing from the heavens. He was going to cherish each every millisecond he got with you.

You maneuvered trough the twist and turns, and took your beloved to a hilltop. The view was splendid from up here. You parked, asking Dazai to get off as you turned the engine off.

"Beautiful..."

You heard him whisper as he looked over the city.

You smiled at his genuine adoration, pulling out a blanket from your bag.

"I know you like nature. I also know that you like food."

He turned towards your voice to see you sitting on a cute blanket that was laid out on the grass. Baskets of food and drinks surrounded you.

"I thought that a picnic is a perfect blend of the two!"

He grinned at your thoughtfulness and joined you.

You both spent quite a while just observing the city. How the darkness was slowly replaced by light. How the once lonely streets were filled with the buzz of humanity. Just Dazai's heart. It was so lonely and dark, then you filled it with light.

As you laid your head on his shoulder, you couldn't help but feel... complete. His warmth, his smell, his touch.. it was all way too familiar to you. You both hadn't even been dating that long, but just the thought of him made you smile. You longed to see him everyday. Hearing his voice made you feel lighthearted. His smile lit up your day. Everything about the man sitting next you made you happy. He was your serotonin boost.

You gulped at the intensity of your feelings. You cared for him, a little too much. It scared you. But you knew he felt the same way.

Everytime he leaned into your touch, subconsciously grasping onto your warmth, you realized that he loved you. He never said it to you, but you could see it in his eyes. You could see it in his tiny actions. The way he would smile the brightest smile ever, when he saw you after a long time, the way his eyes lit up when you laughed on one of his stupid jokes, the way he hugged you a little longer than he used to at the beginning. It all just adds up.

You tilt your head to stare at your love, only to find brown eyes peering down at you.

You blushed at being caught, hiding your face into his neck.

Cute chuckles followed by multiple head-kisses made you look back up at the gorgeous man.

"What are you thinking about?"

He asked, brushing your hair out of your eyes.

"You.", you replied with a smile.

He froze at your reply, a pink hue dusting his cheeks.

"Are you blushing?"

You asked incredulously.

He shook his head a little too quickly to seem convincing, turning away. You grasped his chin, forcing him to look you in the eyes.

Your intense gaze was full of adoration and it made Dazai's face heat up. You were looking at him with such gentleness. He didn't deserve you.

"I love you, Osamu."

He froze. It was a mere whisper, but it was enough to toss his world upside down.

You had finally opened up to him about your true feelings. You felt relieved to finally spill the beans. Your relief didn't last long, though, as your beloved was yet to reply.

You were beginning to worry.

Had you read into it all wrong? Maybe his affinity to your touch was merely a habit. Maybe he wasn't in love with you. Your mind was screaming at you for possibly ruining his special day. You had gone ahead and made it awkward.

"Hey, forget about it. I was not thinking straight, and-"

"I love you, too."

Now you froze. Y/N.exe has stopped working.

"What?"

You sat there, mouth agape. You had expected this, hadn't you? Until a few minutes ago, you had convinced yourself that he loved you back. Yes, you were confused for a second, but now he had told you that he loved you. So, why were you shocked? Why did it feel so good to hear those words from him?

He smiled at your frozen face, leaning forward to kiss you. You melted into his arms, telling him just how much he meant to you through the kiss. You loved how you didn't have to voice out your feelings with him. He simply understood you.

Your fingers threaded through his messy locks, pulling him closer to deepen the kiss. He grabbed your waist, lifting you up. You jumped at the opportunity and sat yourself on his lap. His hands took the liberty to express your back, creeping under your shirt to caress your soft skin. His skilled fingers teased their way higher and higher. You pushed him on his back, hovering over him, desperate to take control. He didn't let you break the kiss, pulling you down along with him.

A few moments later, it became hard to breathe, but his taste was intoxicating.

He pulled back first, grinning boyishly at you. Placing his forehead on yours, he licked his lips.

"Can't wait to claim you, tonight."

The meaning behind his words finally hit you, and you smacked his arm.

"Why would you say that?!"

"I'll make you scream your love for me, babe."

He winked.

You heated up, hiding your face in your arms. His chuckles made you want to fling a rock at his dumb head.

He was such a baby. But he was your baby. And as long as he was by your side, you would be content.

Hehe, idk if this was good enough, coz I wrote after a long time... but I love he so much uwu

Tagging!

My birthday is coming up this week (this Saturday), and my mind has been thinking about how Dio celebrates my special day. My thoughts aren’t fixated so much on gifts (although I do think he is the type to spoil his little love, because being loved by him means they deserve only the finest things this world has to offer), but more about spending time together. Laying in bed longer, having me seated in his lap throughout the day, and having a nice intimate bath together close to the end of the day. I feel self-conscious about how I characterize him constantly, but I am a very big proponent of soft Dio, and Dio being soft with his little love is a wonderful serotonin boost for me.

I am really astounded by the traction The Rising Night seems to be getting since posting the (not so little) introductory post for the IF! Even though I know its not really that much yet this is all new area for me as I’ve been too hesitant to share my work before so thank you all who have decided to give another interactive fiction a go by sticking around or just liking and sharing to pass it along, it truly helps my little writer pea brain get that serotonin boost it needs to power through learning Twine coding and writing all my branches..

This is all kind of surreal at the moment but I appreciate everyone who has already started on this journey with me :’) I’ll be making an official update post with some more solid dates for things such as a possible demo-date and current writing (as well as possibly a world map??) this weekend with plans to do official updates at least twice a month as things are starting out.

But considering this is all shiny and new I think its time to change that SO I would love to hear from you guys with any asks that you have about the world or the characters to get to know them better or even asks about the story functions/features you have questions about, or even asks for me as the dev, I’m still looking for a good prompt list/making a prompt list for the future specifically to get to know the RO’s since I don’t have a lot about them out yet but for now this is what I’ve got and absolutely would love to share the ideas clogging my brain cause I am vv new to this and don’t know how to do it without sounding awkward ( ˘ ³˘)♥

TLDR: Very happy Dani, Official update post this Saturday/Sunday. Send asks about story/features=boost author’s serotonin levels.

#The rising night #the rising night if #the continuum series #Twine game #interactive fiction #Interactive if #dark fantasy #ask box open #anons welcome #i procrastinated posting this cause i got nervous #thank you all so much :’)

karasuno boys react to their s/o wanting to wear matching sweaters :)

a/n: i need someone to match sweaters with :’

daichi:

- he won’t really understand the concept of couple sweaters but when he sees how happy you look, he’ll definitely be down

- on your bad days, he’ll wear the sweater to remind you how much he loves you <33

- together, you guys will have a little tradition to gift each other matching objects. like for christmas, he bought matching snowman mugs. for your birthday, he got matching notebooks :)

sugawara:

- he’ll DEFINITELY be down to wear matching couple sweaters :)

- a LOT of photos will be taken in your cute sweaters together. his favorite is automatically his new wallpaper and will scroll through his camera roll at random times of the day just for an extra boost of serotonin

- sugawara will wear the sweater on a regular basis because it reminds him of you so much <3

asahi:

- a little unsure about the concept at first but when you further explain how cute it’ll be... he’ll agree

- he’ll be so shy to wear something that matches your outfit too but it’ll make him so happy and he’ll feel a lot more confident inside :)

- he might even stitch embroidery on them too !!

nishinoya:

- when you first bring it up, he’ll be disappointed that HE didn’t think of the idea first lmaoo

- the shopping trip to get the sweaters would be SUCH A FUN TRIP. he’ll probably run through the stores in excitement while clutching onto your wrist and dragging you around the mall

- “this one? the color is sooo nice”

- “hmm, this one is more fieRCE and BRIGHT. ooh ooh, THIS ONE IS THE ONE”

- “now EVERYONE WILL KNOW YOU’RE MINE :D”

- the sweater is his comfort object. he’ll hold on to it during rough times, sleep in it, and wear it while watching movies together 🥺

tanaka:

- “if we get matching sweaters, does that mean you’ll stop stealing sweaters from my closet?”

- “no :)” - you

- you guys won’t have just ONE matching set of sweaters. you’ll have a whole closet

- but ALSO, not just matching sweaters. MATCHING OUTFITS. ooh, you’ll both look SO SO GOOD

- the pictures of your matching outfits would be pinterest material ✨✨✨

ennoshita:

- the smile on his face would be SO BIG when you bring up matching sweaters

- it’ll be such a casual thing to him. like he’ll wear the sweater everywhere and anywhere

- when he walks past store windows and sees matching clothes, it’ll remind you of him. he’ll probably random buy even more matching sweaters just to see how many he can collect :)

kageyama:

- at first he’s like ? “i have enough sweaters already”

- “kags, that’s not the pointtt” - you

- a big blushy baby once again once you explain the concept more. he won’t understand why you’re smiling so big over something so simple like sweaters but he’s willing to do almost anything just to see that smile some more <33

- he’ll only wear that sweater for special occasions like anniversaries or birthdays because he thinks it’s too special to wear normally

hinata:

- “matching sweaters ??!! will we be matching?”

- he’ll find the concept SO CUTE AND FUN :))

- you guys will definitely arrange days to wear the sweaters 🥺

- “on wednesday, we’ll wear the pink one, okay? i think the blue one fits saturday more...”

- he’ll be so proud to pull up to school wearing matching sweaters with you he doesn’t even race kageyama to see who gets to the club room first lmaoo

- his little smug smile ahhh 🥺

tsukki:

- “aren’t matching cups enough?” “plus matching sweaters are expensive”

- you sigh, you already predicted his reaction... so you discreetly bought the sweaters yourself and randomly surprise him one day :)

- “uhhh-” *blushes like a tomato*

- he’ll be down to wear it in private because he finds you so cute but public will need a LOT MORE convincing lmaoo

- he’ll hang the sweater next to bed so he can look at it when he sleeps and it brings him ease because it reminds him of you. he’ll never admit it though-

yamaguchi:

- he’ll be like :D “ YES, let’s go shopping !!”

hey!! i have a request idea, maybe you can write a dating qb! topper headcanon!!☺️

dating qb!topper

a/n: thanks for requesting babe, y’all are bout to make me simp for qb top 🥺 ALSO THOSE HANDSSSS OMG

topper masterlist

so y’all already know a smidge of what falling in love with qb!topper is like so let’s talk about dating him

since you went from best friends to lovers, you knew pretty much everything there is to know about one another

but that wasn’t a problem at all

no awkward first dates

no small talk

no ‘should-i-call-her-the-next-day’ type of thing

it seemed like you never ran out of things to talk about

but even then you could sit or lay together in blissful silence

in fact topper loved the stars and astronomy

you both laid under the night sky often, it was your thing

“this view is gorgeous, isn’t it?” he’d ask you

“yeah, the stars are so pretty tonight.”

he’d only turn his face towards you to watch the look on your face before saying: “i’m not talking about the stars, baby.”

you’d smile at him widely, leaning your face into the crook of his neck

he would point out all the different constellations you couldn’t remember

“well i guess all those tackles haven’t given you too much brain damage, good to know.”

basically you both were just in your own world

and nobody could get in the way of that

like after you guys got together you both were pretty much unreachable

“y/n, i can’t believe you blew us off on saturday. i thought we were going to the mall, where the hell were you? you weren’t even answering your phone.” kourtney would ask you on monday.

“we had plans?”

you honestly weren’t even on your phone when you were with topper unless it was to fall into the endless pit called tiktok

it was almost like you were underwater

neither of you cared about what was happening on your phones

because it wasn’t more important than what was in front of you

topper’s teammates did, in fact, tease him

whenever he would text you from the locker room someone always shouted

“SIMP!”

he would just shrug it off replying, “if you’re lonely just say that, man”

lowkey everyone wanted a relationship like yours

even his teammates at times cuz everyone needs love

they acted like they didn’t like you for ‘taking away their team captain’

something about ‘bros before hoes’

but they’d be jealous when you would bring topper some snacks before practice or something

topper would definitely eat in front of them

anyways back to football

alwayssss in his jerseys

even writing his number on your cheek in that colorful paint stuff to show your spirit

for the whole school of course

even if you only watched topper the whole game

you didn’t think he noticed

but he did

everytime he would look up to the bleachers you were staring right back at him, flashing him a smile when you saw his head turn towards you

and yes he would point his finger towards you in the stands when he scored

and you’d be overwhelmed with love each time he made the cliche gesture

you made up a pre-game handshake

which you both insisted on doing every time

because you were his good luck charm

the simple acknowledgement of you cheering him on gave him such a serotonin boost

post game highs were the best ever

topper had so much adrenaline and he was more than happy to have you to celebrate with him at his side (when they won)

when they lost, well, that’s a story for another day

post-game or practice you would try to ignore the sweat coating his body and kiss him anyway

sometimes you forced him to shower before he went anywhere near you

he loved when you accompanied him when he was working out

subtly watching your face as he flexed his muscles

because let’s face it, you couldn’t resist him like that

not to mention his HANDSS

running your fingers over his prominent veins

“be careful babe, you got a little drool on your chin.”

“sorry, just admiring my favorite necklace.” you’d smile up at him innocently.

but anyway

lots of time spent together

cuddles cuddles cuddles cuddles cuddles

you love each other a lot

and you wouldn’t have it any other way

a/n: i loved making this and i still have more ideas. more qb!topper content will definitely be coming and im taking requests!

taglist: @ilovejjmaybank @rosylinn @nxsmss @cameronsrafe @msgorillagripcoochie @bibliophilewednesday @tovvaa @freddymaybank @annab-nana @babeyglo @sunsetholland @moniamaybank

these past three days have been very nice! it was a pleasure vending for @sourmilkshopfresno 's monthly vendor fair! I always have a great time and enjoy interacting with the other artists and vendors that come out for the day. I had some KILLER white coffee via @thedrizzlecafe - check them out please! I can't believe how good my Strawberry Cheesecake drink was. ☆彡(((o(*ﾟ▽ﾟ*)o)))🧋

Yesterday we took a trip to @raginrecordsfresno and I FINALLY got two MCR records!! I haven't opened them yet but I'm very excited too. Afterwards, we took a short walk around downtown a bit- I totally forgot a lot of places are closed on Monday around the Tower District! After we were done with our walk we then took a quick trip to the mall where I found some cute Inuyasha merch and bought my first anime stand ever 😭😂.

I used to buy anime merch on ebay with what little money I could save up and put on a greendot™️ card back in 2011-2012 when I was 12 & 13 years old. I remember I had a full metal alchemist pocket watch and a deathnote necklace that was also a watch (but i never got it working). I don't know why I stopped buying anime stuff- probably because Adventure Time eventually took over as being my main special interest (ᵔᴥᵔ)- that and I started spending all my extra money on cool socks and tights for like, most of my teenage existence (and a lot of my current existence). (*ﾟ▽ﾟ*) Anyway, the Inuyasha stand is in my room and it's totally giving me serotonin boosts when I look at it. I've been working on some Inuyasha fan merch in my free time.

Today I'm filling orders for my website and shipping them out this week! Check out cryptidz.org via @cryptidzclub to get your authentic Theyduh™️ merch. I'm working on some new Fresno Nightcrawler fliers to post around town and advertise the Cryptidz vibe. I can't wait to share it with everyone!!

My bee sting that I got on Saturday STILL ITCHES. It's looking better though.

Right now I have to order groceries and then after that Kishawn and I plan to have a nice bike ride through the neighborhood! 🚴🏽🚴🏿💨❤️

Have a great day! (๑･̑◡･̑๑)✌︎

PART TWO

If there was one thing Donghyuck would wear for the rest of his life, that would be this multi-colored bracelet that you made him during high school. It's like having a small part of you wherever he goes. Along with that part was your good ol' high school years that you spent mostly with him.

You don’t really have that many friends during the first year because of a classroom fiasco that Donghyuck caused, of course. It was homeroom time. He ignored you the moment you flash him your braced teeth. You thought that there was something in your teeth and or your breath was awful. It turns out, Donghyuck was trying to hold his poop back. The smell was horrendous. It was horrible.

You knew that it’s him when he was the only one breaking a sweat in the middle of an air-conditioned room, trying to look calm as everyone panicked. At that moment, you noticed that he’s about to cry. You can’t help but feel sorry for the poor boy. Before the bad turns to worst, you immediately shouted at the class that you were the one who farted and that you had diarrhea because of something you ate last night. Of course, you asked the teacher for your seatmate, Donghyuck, to accompany you to the clinic to cover up for him.

With a tight smile, she waves both of you off. You were Donghyuck’s tissue dispenser that day. You handed him tissue overhead as you prayed that no one would come in. After that bathroom fiasco that both of you vowed never to talk about again, both of you were inseparable.

Not even a single girl wanted to be your friend because of that incident. They thought that you have poor hygiene. Along with that, a weird nickname circulated in your batch. You were Y/N-shit-me-not. It was you and Hyuck against the world and you couldn’t pick a perfect partner other than him.

As a simple token of thank you, you decided to make him a multi-colored bracelet. He found it stupid at first, even scoffing at it as he refused to wear the bracelet for it would ‘ruin his image’ throughout high school (as if it wasn’t already).

Oh, now the tables have turned. Who would have thought that the college student Donghyuck would appreciate the bracelet even more. It’s as if the bracelet was an extension of his soul. There wasn’t a day that he won’t wear it. The colors faded through time along with the 'FS' letter beads but Donghyuck cherishes it like a limited edition Cartier bracelet.

One time during baseball practice, he forgot to place it inside his bag. Donghyuck almost flipped the whole field just to find that old bracelet after training. Even though it was ten in the evening on a Saturday night, Jeno, Renjun, and Donghyuck were still searching the place for the missing item. It was the last straw for Renjun when the field’s LED lights turned off, making the two lamp posts on each side of the area the only source of light.

“It’s just a bracelet.” Renjun scratched his mosquito bites tainted arm before hitting his neck to kill the blood-sucking insect. He just wanted to go home and rest after a long day of debate training for the upcoming regionals. “Hyuck, let it go.”

Donghyuck, who was drenched in sweat and still in his white jersey, couldn’t look up from the grass. He shone his cellphone’s flashlight in front of him as he walked to the other side of the field. “You don’t understand. It’s not just a bracelet.”

Out of frustration, he huffed. He knelt on the grass with his phone, on the other hand, while the other skimmed the grass. “It really means a lot to me.”

“Just buy one or whatever,” Jeno grumbled as he wiped his forehead with the back of his hand. Of course, he was slightly annoyed at his friend. If it wasn’t for Donghyuck’s carelessness, then he won’t still be on school grounds.

“I can’t,” Donghyuck snapped at them. The humidity of the evening air, along with the insects that bit them made everyone irritable.

A small pout is evident in Donghyuck’s lips as his eyes softened, throwing both of them an apologetic look. He made sure to shut his mouth this time. It was the least he can do to Jeno and Renjun, who's helping him find his bracelet. He licked his lips as he mumbled. “It’s irreplaceable.”

Donghyuck wouldn’t forgive himself if he lost it. Their search went on for another ten minutes until Renjun’s loud voice broke the silence.

“I found it!” He raised the faded bracelet above his head.

“Thank God! Now let’s go.” Jeno went to the bleachers to grab his training bag, completely uninterested with it. He tried to massage the stiff area on his shoulder.

To say that Donghyuck was about to cry out of happiness was an understatement. He tackled Renjun with a huge bear hug, almost making them lose balance. Donghyuck felt like his chest was about to burst because of too much joy. A laugh of relief left his lips as he tried to grab the bracelet from Renjun’s grasp, only for Renjun to pull it away.

“You owe us a week of good lunch.” He pointed a finger at him, walking to the parking lot so that they can all go home. Like an obedient puppy, he nodded happily. A soft glint of enthusiasm was evident in his eyes. Renjun shook his head in amusement before he threw the bracelet to Donghyuck.

“Oh God, I can kiss you right now!” He squealed as he caught the bracelet, looking at it in awe. Donghyuck pulled the bracelet closer to his chest, laughing in relief. A huge grin was painted on his lips as he caught up with Renjun. The bracelet already on his hand, where it truly belongs. “Thank you!”

“Welcome, but please don’t.”

Donghyuck was so close to almost repeating the same mistake twice when he got excited that you were there to watch him train. Your presence gave his ego and serotonin a boost as he beamed with pride inside the field. His eyes caught a glimpse of the faded bracelet on his hand while they were jogging. He can’t help but smile, reminding himself to give you his bracelet later before they start.

“Hyuck,” as he tied his shoelaces, he heard Jeno beside him. Jeno was resting the metal baseball bat on his shoulder. His other hand held a brown leather mitt along with a ball that he, later on, pushed towards Donghyuck's chest the moment he stood up. “Are you seeing what I’m seeing?”

Donghyuck was about to ask when he saw Lucas’ toned back near the bleachers where you sat. Quick to his feet, he motioned Jeno to go to your direction.

“What are you even trying to do?” Jeno chuckled. He noticed that they were going in the opposite direction from their teammates who were starting to play catch in pairs.

“Just go,” Donghyuck squinted his eyes, motioning Jeno to his left before he gave him a thumbs up. “Whatever you do, don’t hit the ball.”

“What do you mean do-,”

With a huff, he raised his left leg to earn momentum before he threw the ball from where you were seated. Jeno was caught off guard with the speed of the ball, craning his neck to see where it went. With wide eyes, he dropped the bat the moment he saw your body on the grass. Donghyuck can’t help but let out a sigh of relief, trying his best to fight the smile off as he worriedly ran to you.

And this is why ladies and gentlemen, you don’t mess with the best pitcher in the team.

* * *

Lucas snapped his finger in front of you, in an attempt to bring you back to your senses. Your eyes roamed around the people encircling you before it finally rested on Lucas.

“Y.N?” He tried again.

Your hand went flying to your face as you stifled a laugh. “You know my name?”

He was about to reply when Jeno finally came with a folder along with Donghyuck, who was opening his water bottle. The two boys kneeled on your other side.

“Are you okay? Did it hurt?” Jeno started to fan you using the folder from his school bag. His eyes tried to roam around your body as he inspected you from bruises and scratches.

“Of course it did,” Donghyuck deadpanned, nearing his water bottle near to your lips. You snickered as you took a small sip. It must’ve been your mind playing tricks on you but you swear that you saw Jeno give Donghyuck an eye-roll.

The baseball team’s coach broke the commotion as soon as he arrived. “Are we going to train or are we going to huddle together here like an army of ants? Get back to your training!”

The whole team scrambled back to the field except for a handful of people. Lucas and Donghyuck lifted you to your feet. You immediately winced when Lucas touched your left wrist. You must admit, he looks extremely dashing be it day or night. Stars dotted the sky but tonight, you'd rather stare and get lost in his eyes.

“Someone accompany her to the clinic.”

Donghyuck saw the golden opportunity. He was about to open his mouth when someone beat him to it.

“I’ll do it!” Hendery exclaimed from the bleachers. His hand swiftly grabbed your belongings from your seat. The boy elbowed Lucas. “I might need Lucas, coach. Y.N seems quite heavy. Ya know, we don’t want another accident to happen, right?”

“I’m not that heavy.” You grumbled with a pout.

“You again Kun-Hang.” The coach’s eyes lingered on Lucas before it went to Jeno with a head shake. “Jeno, why don’t you go wi-”

Donghyuck tried again. “I’ll do it coa-”

“We’ll be quick. We’ll just drop her.” Hendery argued, elbowing Lucas beside him. “Mr. Captain here will be back in no time, I swear.”

With one last glance to your pale face, the coach sucked in a breath before finally caving in. “Fine, but five laps for Lucas if he took half an hour. Understood?”

“Yes coach!”

Donghyuck scoffed, witnessing his plans backfire on him. Jeno jogged back to the field with a displeased look. The bracelet on Donghyuck’s hand was still there as he watched everything from afar.

It’s just a crush. He tried to remind himself. A crush, yet the idea of you walking away from him with another man, made him feel a small tug on his heart.

* * *

To say that the walk to the clinic was silent and awkward was an understatement. The pain in your wrist along with the fact that you’re with Lucas made your heartbeat race. Your mind turned into a mess as you walk beside him.

Hendery shook his head, face-palming himself beside Lucas. Sure, the big guy is charming and handsome but behind his front, he’s this shy baby who wears his heart on his sleeve.

Wasting no time, Hendery cleared his throat as he lightly gave a giddy Lucas a small push to you. Hendery's actions only earned a playful glare from him. The two boys had a mini staredown as they tried to communicate with too little to none actions.

Do something. Hendery’s head tilted to Y.N’s direction.

I don’t know what to do. She smells so good, holy shit.

Stop smelling her and give her a piggyback ride or something. He glared at Lucas who undeniably turned into a love sick puppy around you who's just doing the bare minimum.

I-I can’t. I think I’ll burst. Wait, how is she so pretty up close? I swear I-

“Y.N, I think Lucas wants to say something to you.” Hendery stopped in his tracks as Lucas’ widened his eyes. It went back to normal when you looked at him as you slowed your pace.

You slowly breathed, making sure to take deep breaths to calm yourself. “I’m all ears.”

“Uhm,” Lucas bit the inside of his cheek, chuckling nervously to himself as he scratched his nape. You can’t help but to look at his muscles with every flex. The white baseball jersey made Lucas incredibly cute in your eyes. A gasp left your lips when he crouched in front of you. His surname along with his number, was painted in black on his jersey’s back.

With a grin, he patted his shoulder. “Hop on,”

“That’s quite nice of you but-”

“The clinic is quite a walk from here, Y.N.” A sudden surge of confidence coursed through Lucas. It’s now or never.

He flashed you a kind smile. “Trust me. I got you.”

You hesitated for a bit before finally caving in. Besides, Lucas would get in trouble if you take too much of his time. “Fine, just tell Hendery I’m not that heavy.”

Lucas chuckled, lowering himself for your comfort. Your arms warily wrapped on his shoulders as you put your entire weight on him. He gave you a minute to settle down before he slowly stood up. His arms securely hooked on the back of your knees as he started walking. You can’t help but get a whiff of his hair that smelt like faded pomade. It took your entire willpower not to run a hand through it.

Lucas tried to focus on the path that he was taking. He can’t help but smile, basking with honor and glory as everyone who passed by threw the both of you a jealous look.

The both of you were in dreamland until Hendery talked once again. “Oh, would you look at that. I have to pick up my sisters.”

He immediately grabbed your canvas bag from his arm, taking ahold of Lucas’ bicep to sling it on him. Hendery shot his best friend a playful wink before he quickly walked in the opposite direction. Lucas was about to open his mouth when you giggled at Hendery.

“The parking lot is that way.” You pointed at your right before your chest vibrated in laughter. It stopped Lucas from begging Hendery to stay.

“Ah, right. Of course!” Hendery waved at the both of you before finally going in the right way.

The walk was silent, of course. You just wished that no one could hear your loud erratic heartbeat as you and Lucas walked on the lamp post illuminated sidewalk of your uni grounds. It was night time already but still, students flocked here and there as they mingle with one another in their respective clubs and organization.

“I didn’t have the chance to introduce myself properly earlier before the ball tragically hit you.” You heard Lucas said which earned a chuckle from you. “I’m Lucas, by the way.”

Your lips curved upward. Thank God he can’t see you and your huge grin. You bit your lip. “I know,”

Lucas almost drops you. His knees turned weak with every step. He was grateful that you couldn’t see his burning cheeks.

“I’m Y.N,”

With a huge grin, he answered shyly. “I know,”

Both of you had the same wide grin plastered on your faces. Nobody talked after that. Surprisingly, you and Lucas enjoyed the comfortable silence. You savored each passing moment of this dreamlike event. Bless that person who threw you the ball. If it wasn’t for him, you might not be with your crush, much more being piggybacked by him. Lucas wished that he walked a bit slower the moment he found himself in front of the clinic door. He carefully set you down, immediately missing your warmth.

“Thank you, really.” You tuck a piece of stray hair behind your ear.

Lucas gave you a playful salute, handing you your bag. “It’s a pleasure ma’am. Now go inside. It’s already getting cold.”

“I’ll repay you, Lucas Wong.” You waved at him as you went inside the small clinic. “Just wait. Now go be the best baseball captain.”

He let out a chuckle. A permanent smile etched on his face. He was running back to the field when he caught himself stopping. Now or never, Lucas. Now or never. Without hesitation, he went back to the clinic.

Your wrist was almost done getting bandaged by the nurse, due to sprain, when you heard a knock on the door. Lucas’ head popped out.

“Hi,” He panted with a smile, licking his plump lips. “Can I borrow your arm for a sec?”

His request made you giggle. You shrug as the nurse finished bandaging your wrist. “Be my guest.”

Lucas excitedly beamed, borrowing a sharpie from the Nurse’s desk before standing in front of you. His fingertips felt like fire on your skin as he grabbed your other hand as if you were porcelain. You gulped at the proximity between both of you. His familiar scent mixed with sweat filled your senses once more. Lucas looked up. His eyes met yours for a second before you tear your eyes away from him, too scared that you’ll stare at his lips like a creep.

“Done,”

Curious with what he wrote, you checked it before shaking your head in laughter. “You do realize that you can save your number in my phone right.”

“I know,” He winked at you before heading to the door, making sure to give you one last glance. “But where’s the romance in that?”

* * *

Donghyuck’s mind was elsewhere during practice. It was running into different directions. Now, when Lucas Wong finally arrived with the broadest grin he’d ever seen. He knew that something happened between both of you.

“You do realize that you can kill her, right?” Jeno gave him an earful once practice ended. He swung his Herschel backpack behind him. A black tee replaced Jeno’s white jersey. The boy pushed his glasses up his nose after keeping up with his annoying contact lens during practice.

“That small ball alone can cause a concussion. Worse, a ruptured blood vessel! That's a brain hemorrhage Hyuck, a brain fucking hemorrhage!”

Donghyuck spotted Renjun’s car, throwing his bag on the back seat. “But I didn’t.”

Jeno was about to go all out if it wasn’t for Renjun’s car loud honking. With a huff, he opened the front seat's door, making sure to give Donghyuck a glare. Donghyuck couldn’t help but sigh. Panic and guilt wrapped his whole being as he sat silently in the back of Renjun’s white sedan.

“Ice cream or shots?” Renjun excitedly asked, adjusting his rearview mirror only to realize that you weren’t at your usual place. “Where’s Y.N?”

“Clinic,” the boy on the front seat answered with eyes closed, trying to relax.

Renjun’s car immediately drove away from the parking lot without even an explanation coming from Jeno. He went on panic mode, chuckling dryly. “I assume Hyuck has something to do with this. He’s been incredibly quiet.”

Donghyuck sighed in defeat, leaning on his seat with arms crossed. “I know I’m wrong. Alright? I didn’t mean to hit her with the ball. I didn’t even hit her, okay? She just toppled down the bleachers and-”

“If something happens to her. You’re dead Lee.” Renjun warned him. His father mode kicked in as he turned the steering wheel with one hand. “Why the fuck did you even hit her with the ball?”

“Lucas,” Jeno snickered from his seat as he dials your phone. The clinic was just a couple of feet away from them.

Renjun parked the car in front of the clinic. Upon waiting, he twisted his body to look at Donghyuck. “Hyuck, what the hell! You put her at risk just because of a boy? This is getting out of hand!”

At times like this, Donghyuck chooses to remain silent. His mouth pressed into a thin line as he cuddled closer to his large gray hoodie.

Renjun scoffed in disbelief, throwing his hands up in frustration. “You’re unbelievable.”

The dense air inside Renjun’s car was a surprise as you sat on the backseat. Your smile faded, looking at everyone’s faces. “I guess three boys didn’t get laid tonight.”

You were about to make a joke when Donghyuck’s arms went to your shoulder, pulling your whole body into a tight embrace. Your face completely mushed on his chest.

He buried his face on your hair as he mumbled his sincere apology. “I’m an asshole. I’m so sorry Y.N.”

Much to everyone’s surprise, your giggles filled the car. Donghyuck pulled away, inspecting your face with raised brows. You playfully hit his arm.

“So it was you! You’re the one I should be thanking.”

“Yes. I’m so so sor- wait, what?”

“I have a sprain but I’m fine.” You raised your injured hand almost excitedly. Donghyuck shrunk on his seat, obviously feeling bad with what he did. Renjun and Jeno’s full attention were on you with worry in their faces. They gave the boy beside you a hard glare. “I’m fine! I swear, I’m fine. It’s just a sprain. I’ll live besides,”

With a squeal, you raised your other hand where Lucas’ messy handwriting came into view. “Lucas Wong gave me his number!”

Well, shit. Donghyuck thought as he tried to squeal with you.

Now, the match has finally begun.
