#and once when i was in high school i was on a trivia team; and we asked a run of questions about judaism;

[quasi-normalcy]

.

#so first of all i'm not jewish. #but i feel like i occupy a relatively weird position with respect to judaism. #because the neighbourhood in which i grew up was like...30-50% jewish? #it was jewish enough that the local families requested and got a hebrew immersion programme at the local elementary school #that operated in parallel to the english programme that i attended #and about half of my friends growing up were jewish. #and so i absorbed a lot of the surface-level details of the religion by a sort of osmosis #like...i knew the dates and significance of the various jewish holy days #and i knew a smattering of phrases in hebrew (phonetically); most of them apparently quite rude #and we occasionally did jewish religious songs in choir (some of them admittedly lifted from the 'Prince of Egypt' soundtrack) #and once when i was in high school i was on a trivia team; and we asked a run of questions about judaism; #and i was the only one who knew them even though (i swear to god) i was the non-Jewish player on either team #(and then when i was much older i almost married a jewish enby and i would even have tried to convert for them #but our relationship fell apart for unrelated reasons) #but one of the things that was drilled into me when i was growing up (by my dad who grew up under similar circumstances) #was that you don't criticise Israel; it's antisemitic to criticise Israel #(which made for a lot of fraught moments as a teenager given that i was watching the second Intifada on the news) #and the thing is even now in the face of what seems pretty unambiguously to be a genocide against the Palestinians #i find that i'm more circumspect about criticizing israel than i would be just about any other country under the same circumstances #like i was writing things like 'fuck saudi arabia' when they were murdering houthis in yemen #but 'fuck israel'? #even though a little harsh language is least of what that regime deserves #ugh #i feel like i'm privy to the death of a dream that was never even mine. #personal #religion

Hello, are you still writing for Twilight? I can order The human reader who comes to high school is calm and beautiful, but the Cullen can't use their powers on him and that's a strange thing like Alice can't read his future and Edward can't read their mind and Jasper can't know their feelings If it's a lot of characters you can just do cullens boys

Fresh 'n hot headcanons coming right up! I'll focus on the Cullens who are in high school

Cullens React To Hot Reader Who's Immune To Their Powers

Edward

Edward is what some might call pathologically unobservant

Being able to read minds means he's constantly drowning out the menial thoughts of everyone around him, so you'll forgive him if he doesn't notice you immediately

He will notice you quickly once he realises that compared to everyone else your mind is like a soothing, quiet oasis. He will then notice just how stunning you are

And frankly, the rest of the high school agrees with him, you're a total babe! Edward is used to having people fawn over him and he's not sure how to handle all the attention suddenly being on you

Once he works up the courage to finally go talk to you, he decides he's quite okay with being your equal

Jasper

Jasper doesn't register your immunity until you're beating him in a civil war trivia kahoot quiz and he decides to make you dizzy to inhibit you

When he realises that you're still winning, he tries to make you miserable in case it was an accident. When you continue to merrily beat his score, that's when alarm bells start to ring

Jasper is very insecure about his inability to control your emotions, it's not a power the rest of the Cullen's really respect and it's not like he can walk up to you and ask you why you're immune to his magical emotional manipulation

He prepares to glare a hole into the back of your head instead until you glance in his direction and he sees just how gorgeous you are

Well now it'll just be ungentlemanly of him if he doesn't congratulate your victory, no use being a sore loser after all

Alice

After school, Alice sees you cross the road without looking, and you unknowingly walk into the path of an oncoming car. She fully expects to see a vision of your head cracked open across the tarmac with the rest of your body mangled under the bumper. But it never comes.

In fact, no visions come. She looks towards you again to see the car screech to a halt just in front of you, as you reach the other side and apologize to the shouting driver.

Interesting, very interesting. She decides to test her powers on you the next day by focusing hard on what your math final scores would be. Again, nothing comes to her. Alice finds you after the results were posted to ask how you did, and you had gotten a 98. It was the last good grade you needed to get into your dream college, the best news you could've gotten this week.

Alice slowly comes to terms with the fact that your life and its events may be completely beyond her, that despite all the effort in the world she will have no warning on what may happen to you next, but she wishes you all the best regardless

Emmett

Emmett first notices you in the boys changing room. For totally heterosexual reasons of course

You were the new kid on the football team, and the coach was eager to join you even after tryouts

You were a wide receiver while Emmett was on tackle, you didn't get to talk much, but he loves grappling your fit, muscular body into the ground. Shame he might have to smack you in your pretty face, though

And hey, you were good. Not as good as him, obviously, but still good

He invites you to sit with him at lunch, to talk strategy, and to hang out as guy friends. Totally not a gay thing, haha, unless you want it to be...

Rosalie

Now Rosalie had to give credit where credit was due; you were super hot

But unlike all the other hot people at Forks High, you were not completely full of yourself

But Rosalie doesn't just give her respect to any hot mortal, she wants to see how you handle all the attention you get from everyone else

You seem to keep to yourself, for the most part, politely declining all the young women vying for your affection. Your popularity knew few bounds, as you were admired by both teachers and students alike

But you remained calm and reflective in every situation, being humble at every compliment and word of praise

Rosalie will consider making you her friend, people like you are very hard to find, even for immortals

A Small Matter of Planning

Alenoah Week Day 1: Proposal / First Date

Alejandro and Noah have finally decided they want to try out dating. They'd spent the past year starting off as friends, then rivals as Noah found out Alejandro's true colors, then back to friends with crushes on each other until others finally pushed them along to consider dating.

So now they just have to settle on where they want to have their first date. There's just one small, minor detail that makes planning somewhat difficult.

Noah's the size of Alejandro's hand.

This isn't anything new to them. Humans and tinies have been living with each other rather peacefully for quite a while now. There's infrastructure in place to help tinies get around without fear of getting stepped on.

Still, when it comes to relationships, there aren't many mixed-height couples. Partially because of the logistics. Partially because of conservative biases that no one talks about, but everyone knows exists.

As a result, despite talk of inclusion, most places are suited for either humans-only or tinies-only. Wawanakwa High is one of the few schools that isn't segregated, which is how Alejandro and Noah have gotten to know each other.

Combine this with the fact that Alejandro's a romantic and Noah isn't, and you have a recipe for planning for a first date to be a logistical nightmare.

Going to a cafe?

"The only cafe that'd serve both of us is across town. Plus, I don't want to deal with the stares."

Going to a new bookstore?

"It's not a date when it's something you'd do already. Let me treat you you stubborn perezosito."

With neither of them agreeing on more traditional first dates, they decide to try catering it towards something they can both agree with. Something that lets them both use their minds.

Doing an escape room? "We'd have to do one for humans. You'd have to carry me around because there's no way I'm scurrying around for clues."

Going to a game store? "The only ones with the good board games are ones for tinies. I will not degrade either of us with a party game."

It's pretty frustrating for both of them. They do want to make this work, but nothing about their relationship is simple. Still, neither of them wants to give this up. Alejandro because he's never one to back down for a challenge, and having an equal who makes him actually want to learn empathy is most certainly worth it. Noah because he never really feels motivated to do much of anything, but Alejandro makes him want to try, so like hell he's giving that up.

They take a break from planning and just hang out like they normally would. Meaning that they're hanging out when together, but both doing intense research on what to do for a first date. Alejandro actually brings himself to ask for help by texting Carlos, who's more than happy to help him bounce ideas back. Noah, knowing nothing of romance nor knowing anyone else who knows about romance, googles 'ideas for first dates' in incognito mode and double checks that nothing has been saved by the time he's done checking.

Eventually, the two do come across an interesting idea. The bookstore Noah was arguing for has a trivia night every Thursday. It doesn't require anything physical, which is great for Noah. There will be food, which Alejandro will pay for so he can still be romantic. And it allows them both to show off how better they are than everyone else work together rather than compete with each other for once.

It goes off without a hitch! They get a few odd looks. It's hard to say whether it's because of the size difference, how young they are, or the fact that they enter as a duo when most other teams have at least four people.

That quickly changes as they start destroying the competition. Everyone else is practically competing for second place.

Their victory comes as a surprise to no one. Regulars of all sizes immediately make their way towards the two begging for the teens to join their teams. Some of them do genuinely mean well and are excited to have new blood at trivia night. Others want to try to take advantages of the two. Alejandro happily jumps at the chance to deal with all of them.

Meanwhile Noah sneaks away to go collect their prizes (and not have to deal with the swarm of people). The prizes are relatively small since it is a weekly event. $25 gift cards to the bookstore. Or, if they do plan on becoming regulars, they can each start a tab. Noah takes one glance at his social butterfly of a boyfriend and tells the host that yeah, they'll start a tab.

So their date idea ends up becoming a new weekly tradition. The other regulars happily accept them among their ranks. They find a team that they will join on occasion, though for the most part they stick with being a duo. Once in a blue moon they'll even go onto separate teams. It's a perfect excuse for competitive, flirtatious banter.

Either way, it's still a delightful date night.

#they join for the date night and stay for the little community they end up making #they get intergenerational friendships as a treat #they also get to be nerds on the regular! #it's what they deserve #alenoahweek2024 #alenoah week 2024 #alenoah week #alenoahweek #total drama #total drama fanfiction #okay kinda it's more like a little drabble #i still say it counts #total drama noah #td noah #total drama alejandro #td alejandro #alenoah #td alenoah #total drama alenoah #giant/tiny #gt fluff #g/t fluff #g/t domestic #giant/tiny domestic #total drama giant/tiny

Any Cyclone headcanons? (Loved your music headcanons! 😁)

Thank you and of course! I have pages and pages of Cyclone headcanons that I plan on formatting and posting, but here’s some of my favorites!

Random Cyclone HCs

Was left-handed as a child but was taught to be right-handed.

Grew up in Alaska but absolutely hates cold weather.

His favorite color is sunflower yellow.

Drinks a glass of milk with dinner like it's 1950.

Loves orange juice.

Is a surprisingly good baker.

His dad was a fisherman and his mom was a nurse

His mother is from Seattle and his dad is from Boston. They first met by chance while she was in nursing school in Boston and eventually fell in love.

Beau spent the first 7 years of his life in Boston before his dad got a fishing job in Alaska.

He played both hockey and baseball all through his childhood and was scouted before deciding to join the military instead.

Was an extremely anxious child.

Is meticulously organized.

Frequents bar trivia night and has never lost.

100% drives a BMW and 100% gets made fun of for it.

Will fight getting into a vehicle unless he's driving because he has control issues and gets motion sick really easily.

Owns one of those really ugly camo la-z-boy chairs from the 90s.

Is ready for bed at 6:30 pm sharp every night.

Has an extensive personal library but it's all either non-fiction or James Patterson, John Grisham, and Tom Clancy.

Tried to learn guitar when he was in high school but stopped once his fingers started to get calluses.

Developed a really specific and very intense workout regime that he maintained for several decades.

Two weeks before his 43rd birthday he pulled nine separate muscles doing said workout routine. Now he just goes to the gym and runs before work.

When he first started to go gray, he attempted to cover them with Just For Men. He only used it twice, but people still call him Lego hair behind his back.

Has very strong food opinions overall, but especially about fried eggs. (He believes sunny-side up is superior and will fight anyone who disagrees).

Is a massive hopeless romantic.

Secretly loves hallmark movies and will 100% cry when the couple ends up together at the end.

His favorite sports teams are the Boston Bruins and the Seattle Mariners.

15 people 15 questions

thanks @girlfriendline @giveemgreef @tblueger <333

1. are you named after anyone?

i am not! my middle name was an homage to my mom's grandparents but i have since changed it and my parents are blessedly allergic to otherwise naming anything after anybody

2. when was the last time you cried?

few days before christmas

3. do you have kids?

no and i do not want to. i have one fur baby (that i co-parent with my parents lmao) though as you all well know (scout my baby boy <3)

4. what sports do you play/have you played?

played kids' baseball/softball until i was like 10/11 bc i was constantly in the outfield and nobody can pitch until you get to like. high school. so it was boring and i hated it so i quit. i was on dance team for a while until i had to drop it bc recital dates kept being on the same days as school band concerts. was in marching band throughout high school, which counts bc i was a percussionist and had to lug around those heavy drum harnesses

5. do you use sarcasm?

a ridiculous amount. if we also count like comedic lying in this i accidentally convinced a coworker that there were only three seasons of spongebob doing that whole pretending that only the good parts of a show exist. such a shame spongebob ended after season 3. there's no more of it! just too bad

6. what’s the first thing you notice about people?

hair probably

7. what’s your eye color?

brown! medium tending towards dark

8. scary movies or happy endings?

while i love gothicness and gothyness i am a Known Weenie and certain types of gore literally make me feel faint. like the finale of the terror s1 made me a little faint and gave me the sweats and i had to fully pause the episode and lay on the floor for a while. so i guess categorically happy endings based on that. if a scary movie isn't super gory though i'll go for it

9. any talents?

i’m very performing arts inclined! i play piano, sing, dance, and act (was a theatre major in college). i memorize things quickly if i set my mind to it, am great at navigating, have great pitch memory (like i can be exactly or near-exactly on pitch when singing something i’ve heard before even without backing accompaniment. this unfortunately drives me crazy when people post pitch-shifted versions of songs and i can tell they’re off. bearer of the curse), decent stage combatant, good crowd weaver, and somehow bear the ability to unintentionally come off as intimidating to basically everyone i’ve ever met

10. where were you born?

iowa, usa

11. what are your hobbies?

i'm something of a gamer in my spare time. basically only solo joints though i'm not like gamer nhlers that play like. league of legends or fortnite or counterstrike. i've recently joined a community band and a bar trivia team (with my old middle school choir teacher lmao. he's a homie), i write fic every once in a while, read, dance around the house, go for walks when it's not cold, snuggle my pup, and obviously watch hockey. i keep telling myself i'm going to learn how to sew but trying to find beginner projects for men types is fucking dire and i keep not going out to get fabric for the pirate blouse i keep wanting to make rip

12. do you have any pets?

ah there's a separate question for this. scout, my yellow lab baby boy whose breeder had a confederate flag up in his barn when we got him (we saved you buddy). have some pictures

13. how tall are you?

5'5". short king territory

14. favorite subject in school?

i was a band/choir bitch. probably followed by english (literature). i liked basically all of it but phys ed though fuck that class i hate distance running it gives me a stitch in my side and you have to run a mile at least twice a semester (fuck you presidential fitness test). on top of all the other running they make you do. loved when they just did games though. matball my beloved

15. dream job.

actor, either stage or voice. unfortunately i do not want to live where the big voice acting studios are located and regional stage acting is kind of limited unless you go all the way out to chicago, which i tried for a couple of months before multiple breakdowns told me i should probably be closer to home. i enjoy being a librarian though :)

When I was a junior in high school Id just transferred back into the local school district and i was put into whatever classes were available at the time. The science class they found for me was paleontology and for review for the finals we had a trivia style competition and the final two teams had a bonus round to decide the winner and I will never ever forget this because once I was the final representative for my team and the teacher decided the final ‘question’ for the win would be to draw one of the well known teachers in the school. But because I had just transferred back in and was anti social to the extreme I had no fucking idea who it was, so when I turned to the teacher in complete confusion she went ‘oh, do you not know who that is? Ok whoever draws the best Five Nights at Freddie’s character wins’ the girl I was up against was wearing a FNAF t shirt.

We lost.

2023 FFRC - March🍀

Can you believe it's already April!? Crazy. Though you'd never know it here though, because my backyard still looks like Hoth. It's horrific. It's supposed to snow again tomorrow too. I just want to sit in my hammock.😢

Anyway, I hope you've all been doing well. MotherMaple (who just had a birthday btw🥳) recently came down with covid for the second time - so if you know her and love her, if you could please send her positive healing vibes, I would appreciate it (as her bestie who worries - I'm a worrier). Thank you!

Moving along -- our most exciting news this month was that my beautiful and talented daughter and her basketball team won Provincials (essentially our "State" Tournament). Go Spartans! The first time in our High School's history! I've blurred out the faces of the other girls to show you below - but here's a fun piece of trivia: two of the girls (the redhead and the brunette just to the right of my Bethy) were the girls who dressed up with her for Halloween 2017 as Betty, Veronica, and Cheryl - Mr. Aguirre-Sacasa even retweeted their photo back in the day. I'm so glad they're still all friends (though they're all smarter than I am because none of them still watch Rvd)

Okay - so getting back on track - as all of you should know by now, I'm a regular participant (and low-key assistant) at the @fanfic-reading-challenge - additionally, for the last couple of years, I've been tracking all the fic I read and I've reported back here once a month with some stats and some recs, and a little bit of boring stuff about my life. That's what this post is.

Below the cut are my March stats and some fun fic recs. I read nearly 2 million words this month - over 550 chapters (of various lengths), and 178 stories. I've been tackling the challenge tasks and am nearly done the 'extreme' mode. I'm still struggling with a few of the categories, but I think my goal this year is not only to complete the Regular/Hard/Extreme modes - but to complete every task. I'm at 212/309 so there is still some work to do.

March 2023

As for my recs for you! Try these - you might enjoy them. They are Wavier because that's what I've mostly been reading - and if you've never read the pairing before, let one of them be your first foray if you are on the fence. Don't be on the fence. Come ship with me! 🖤🖤

--*--

An Unkindness by Agmo (Wavier - E 3/3)

Summary: Finding out that he is Wednesday Addams' soulmate goes about as well for Xavier as anything involving Wednesday Addams does.

Why you should read: Soulmates are my jam. This was originally a one-shot and even though my heart kinda ripped out of my chest where they ended it, the author surprised us with two extra chapters - AND IT WAS AMAZING. There is so much growth. Soulmates are my favourite when it's not a given that everything will turn out. Characters are still beings with agency. This story has room for this growth - and I could not recommend it more. Probably one of my favourites of the year so far.

--*--

For the Rare and Radiant Maiden by @drollicpixiefanfic (Wavier - E 6/6)

Summary: Xavier Thorpe didn’t exactly expect Wednesday to use the cell phone he purchased for her. It was a ridiculous idea, a whim, a fancy. But something had compelled him to try. So, it was with some shock, two weeks into their break from Nevermore, that Xavier’s phone buzzed on his nightstand. In which, Wednesday discovers her cell phone camera, though only filtered through a black and white lens and Xavier finds himself even more under her spell as a darker side of him begins to seep through his well maintained façade.

Why you should read: I'm always a fan of a good Post S1 fic and if you can give it to me in a Xavier pov then I'm probably going to love you forever. This one was really really fun - deals with Wednesday's stalker - and has a bit of that Dark!Xavier that Ajax mentioned in S1.

In the night, I dream of woe so true by @sebikitcat (Wavier - G 7/7)

Summary: “Wednesday? What are you doing in my art studio?” It’s a stupid question, she decides. “What are you doing in my dream?” A more relevant counter. “Your dream? I thought this was my dream. Wait, are we dreaming?” Or the one where Wednesday finds herself unwittingly sharing dreams with Xavier over break. Fluff ensues.

Why you should read: SHARED DREAMING! And it's SO FLUFFY - it's the epitome of Agnes Gru squishing her fluffy unicorn. I love it.

--*--

dark doo wop (series) by @donutcats (Wavier- G - 3 fics)

Summary: It’s the way she texts him first, only a few short days after everyone has cleared out of Nevermore; and really he wasn’t even expecting that. It was meant to be a joke, adding his number and saying he’d settle for a text. But there it is. A new text from Wednesday Addams.  A simple picture of a dark and eerie fatalistic painting torn to shreds. ‘I believe some paintings are improved by the act of destroying them,’ reads the text sent directly after the picture, ‘which you should definitely take note of.’ 

Why you should read: Again - I LOVE post S1 fics where we get to speculate how Wednesday navigates modern technology and communication with Xavier. The stories are short so you can read them all in one go. Do it!

ANYWAY - I'm always looking for new fic recommendations, so if you have any stories you think I'll love (whether you wrote them or your friend wrote them or you came upon them accidentally), please drop me a line or send me a dm. I've found SO many awesome fics through recommendations from others. I'll read almost any pairing and any fandom. Shoot me a link!🖤

(lastly- I'm a little bit in love with this gif of Xavier waving - and I've been purposely flooding my dashboard with Percy for reasons - so the wave might become a theme for my year).

Anyway -👋🏼 Hiya -I'm happy you're here! I hope you have a wonderful April and I'll see you back here in a few weeks! Happy reading! 🖤

Rei Tamura

(Mob Psycho 100 SelfInsert)

Occupation: Illustrator Personality: Frank | Warm | Caring | Honest | Cheerful

Skills:

Organization and flexibility, which really helps the Office.

As an esper, has divination and rare healing abilities.

Relations:

Sakurai (Friend/Romantic)

Koyama (Friend/Romantic)

Reigen (Old Schoolmate/Now Bestie)

Onigawara (Reluctant Mentor)

Ex-SCAR members (Reluctant Leader/Mentor)

Trivia:

She makes a point of being as honest as possible, making her comedically frank.

Did not want to take care of all these children and adults.

Freelance illustrator job gives her a very flexible schedule so she uses free time to hang around the office because she has no social life.

Understands Reigen very well and even she knows what not to call him out on.

History:

In the past, Tamura used to be classmates with Reigen, but they didn’t really know each other well. Years later, they meet again outside of a restaurant where their class is holding a ten year reunion. Reigen watches the restaurant from a distance, smoking. Tamura stands on the sidewalk and also stares at it for a few moments before turning away and noticing him.

“Ah, Arataka-san. It’s…been a while.” She slightly bows her head.

“Are you not heading inside?” He gestures.

“Oh,” she nervously pauses, “No, I don’t think so.” The two awkwardly stand there a moment before she looks back at the restaurant. “To be honest, I don’t really have anything to show for all these years. I thought I could strongly face them anyway but…” she trails off.

“At least there’s two of us then.”

The two have a surprisingly honest chat before deciding to go elsewhere for a couple drinks and complaining about old high school days.

A year later, she sees Reigen on tv and finds out he’s opened a Spirits and Such Consultation Office. Strange occurrences have been happening around her lately, including seeing vague shapes so she shows up to his office to ask if he knows what’s happening. Esper abilities are slowly awakening in her. Through his help and others that visit the Office, she collects a wide range of information about the different espers they’ve encountered and what sort of stuff she should be expecting. Her and Reigen end up becoming friends.

She offers to come by sometimes and help out. She likes ghost stuff anyway and he’s not complaining about free labor. Around the office she helps keep paperwork and such organized, accompanying them to some jobs, and just generally doing odd tasks. She’s always very warm to Mob and the other children when she sees them, always asking how they’re doing.

Once SCAR prepares for their takeover, she happens to be with Reigen when the office goes up in flames. She’s quickly introduced to the ex-SCAR members that gather around him and she’s not impressed, knowing what they’ve done in the past. Tamura is especially upset with Sakurai and Koyama, whom she finds very attractive before finding out who they are. As those two leave to pick up Mob, she insists on leaving with them. She doesn’t trust them and the three bicker in the car. It’s only because she’s there that Mob leaves with them. During the attack, she joins the sewer team to guide them. As the fighting is taken above ground, Tamura starts coordinating the team, knowing each of their abilities well from her previous studies. It’s during this fight that her esper abilities fully awaken and she’s upset that they’re healing abilities. She really wants offensive abilities like the others to directly attack, but they’re still very helpful regardless. As disapproving as she is of the ex and current SCAR members, she still displays a lot of protective care over them. Post fight she uses all of her power to heal the others and momentarily passes out from the strain. Koyama ends up unceremoniously carrying her over his shoulder as they flee the final explosion. Now safe, she voices her opinion on the ex-SCAR members again but also offers help and advice on how to “live as adults”, handing out her business card. The others are grateful for how much care she’s shown towards them and a few take her up on the offer.

Most notably Sakurai and Koyama. Tamura is especially keen to help them out, treating them like grown children and never shying away from both helping and chastising them. When the two get their convenience store job, their rocky relationship turns into an actual friendship.

Over time, she slowly comes to realize how mature the two can actually be, unsure what parts of it have always been there and which parts have grown. The more she sees them as grown men, the more her respect grows and the fonder she becomes…

MYSELF

Entry #1

Hello, I'm Brad Russel. While I may not be your typical student who enjoys reviewing school subjects, my passion lies in the world of strategic games and the art of analyzing video game clips. I find myself immersed in the intricate strategies and gameplay mechanics that make each gaming experience unique, and yes, i rarely do reviewing but likes analyzing LOL. I am very much into strategies because my hobby is playing chess.

I also watch animes, I love listening to music, I like R&B songs, and my favorite music artist is Giveon. Now, before we move on to my hometown, here's a trivia about my life with chess. When I was a grade 4 student, before the Intramurals, my teacher suggested if I can be the player of the sport chess, I agreed with her but I don't know how to play chess to I asked my Tito if he can teach me how to play chess and I tearned and trained for a month. After that, I joined the Intramurals and I was the top 1 player of the South District. I joined the City Meet and I played with the players in Borongan and I was the 2nd but the 1st and the other top player talked and had a deal so they didn't played fairly then I was only a 3rd player. During my elementary days, I played chess 3 times and I became an EVRAA player. During my high school years, I actively participated in the selection process for the chess team competing in the Intramurals, engaging in friendly matches and consistently defeating chess enthusiasts from all corners of the campus, one opponent at a time. However, when Intramurals finally commenced, I decided to sit it out, taking it more as a fun journey rather than a competitive pursuit.

Now let's talk about my hometown. I live in barangay Divinubo which is located in the east side of Borongan City across barangay Lalawigan. My hometown is an Island so many tourists visit there because of its natural beauty and its famous Karawisan Beach Resort. My parents are both from Divinubo Island so I stayed here. I grew up there and what I liked about being a resident there is because of its relaxing beauty and tranquil ambiance.

Divinubo was perfect because there were a lot of beaches and resorts and the famous Karawisan Beach Resort was the number 2 most visited tourists spot but it was destroyed when Yolanda happened. But of course, we did not quit, we rebuilt the Karawisan Beach and the other tourist attraction there which is the lighthouse "Parola". I was raised there and I am now 18 years old but i'm still amazed by the structure of my hometown. One of the tourist attraction is also the rock formations there at the back side of the island.

I studied there since there is an elementary school and what I liked in my elementary days was "Ber Months". Everytime the sea was not stable or its current was not good, there will be no classes since the teachers are not a residents of Divinubo LOL. As I get older, my high school journey was very hassle because I will get up early like 4am or 4:30am because I will prepare my lunch and other things. By the time the school ends, I will immediately go to the transportation terminal by riding a tricycle for about 7-10 minutes and once I arrive at the terminal, I will ride again a tricycle for about 20 or 25 minutes and i will arrive at the port like 4:30pm and sometimes there are no pumpboats left because the waiting time of pumpboats are only from 4pm to 4:20pm. It was very hassle but now I am currently living at Lalawigan so time is not a problem anymore.

I hope you enjoy reading my blog post! Feel free to leave any comments below, thank you!

— bio points

This lady has the vibes of everyone’s favorite high school drama teacher. 

She grew up in Atlanta to some very conservative parents. 

From a very young age she knew she didn’t the family mold. And it wasn’t just the way she liked being the center of attention, or girls more than boys - it went deeper than that. But instead of making herself smaller to fit in she learned to be sneaky - made rules to keep her secrets safe. 

Olivia created her counter part Olive when she her teens - the version of herself who snuck out, smoked pot, and made out with girls in the back of her parents minivan. It’s the years of practice she credits for her knack for acting. 

But growing up in that kind of atmosphere messed her up, so once she got her first real taste of freedom she was wary to give it up for anyone. 

After college, she moved around a lot. The nomadic lifestyle wasn’t abnormal for a performer but with Olive it was more than that - it was as if she was afraid to put down roots. And thus a pattern was formed: get a new job, in a new city, make some friends, meet a girl and bail before she could get her heart broken, lather, rinse, repeat. 

East Haven is the place she’s lived the longest since leaving home. Probably because she’s finally learned how to date without getting attached. Sort of. 

Olive directs Heywood Drama department’s two main shows each year, plays short on an all queer team in a local adult soft ball league, and loves knowing gossip.

Baby Face : Frat Haechan

🌙 staring. Haechan x afab!Reader

🔮 synopsis. You and Haechan have been enemies ever since highschool, when debates between you in class would get heated. Now, you’re in a sorority and he’s in your brother frat, NCT House. Trivia nights are supposed to be fun at the campus bar but you and Haechan always take it personally, and your friends see the sexual tension, even if you and Haechan don’t. Johnny and Jaehyun concoct plans to force you and Haechan interact, frat boys lie, and even if Haechan gets you on your back, you’re never going to stop calling him the nickname he hates so much: “baby face”.

cw/ tw.  lots of competition, high key GAMER HYUCK, dom leaning switch Haechan, oral (f/r receiving), pet names, slight degradation, angst, unprotected sex, fingering, BIG DICK HAECHAN, dumbification, body worship, he refers to himself as daddy once or twice, etc..

🍭 aus. frat, enemies to lovers, childhood enemies, crack, etc…

☀️ mlist + an. find the rest of my frat universe here

“So then we get back to his room-”

“Is he still rooming with Johnny?”

“Yeah!”

“Fuck, I’d climb that guy like a tree.” 

“I know right? But we get back there, and he throws me on the bed-”

You close your book loudly with a sigh, drawing the eyes of your sorority sisters who hadn’t even noticed you sitting in the living room by the window, the drapes half obscuring you and shutting you in with the beautiful morning sunlight- which you had been enjoying. 

“Oh, hi Y/N.” One says awkwardly. 

The man they’re talking about is Lee Donghyuck, notorious roommate of Johnny Suh and renowned “lady killer” of the frat system. Almost as well known as his reputation, or yours for that matter, is the fact that you both hate each other- and you have since high school, where you made a point to personally pick fights with each other in debate team.

“Don’t let me stop the story.” you wave your hand as you head towards the stairs leading up to the second floor of your sorority house, “Ryujin told me her version of it last Saturday,” you wink at the two girls, “and I hear the ending where he kicks you out at two am before Johnny gets home is the best part.” 

Fucking Lee Donghyuck, you think to yourself as you head up to your bedroom. When are the girls in your sorority ever going to learn that he’s the worst of the worst?

“Could you just be nice this once?” Jenni sighs as you slide into the booth next to her at the campus pub for Trivia Tuesday. 

“No.” you answer, flashing a smile at Johnny, who’s just finishing setting up the projector for the game. He waves at you, grabbing a stack of trivia answer papers to begin handing them out to the tables who are playing.

“You cut it a bit close.” Johnny says to you as he gives you a peice of paper for your answers, checking his watch to see how long he has until he has until it’s 8, and trivia night officially starts. 

“I knew you wouldn’t start without me.” you beam up at the tall frat boy. As much as you hate Haechan, his roommate, in fact his entire frat, is pretty cool. NCT House is technically the brother frat of your own sorority, as much as you and Haechan wish this wasn’t the case, and that means that you end up in the same circles as NCT boys with some frequency. 

“Who would compete with Haechan if you didn’t show?” Johnny points out, eyes sliding over to his roommate. 

Your sorority and frat have two tables you’ve all but claimed on Trivia Tuesdays. Squished up next to each other, the two hour long game from eight to ten gives your houses plenty of time to intermingle and flirt. You’re at the end of one side, and Haechan has his claim all the way at the end of the other table. He has a beer in front of him, and he’s twiddling with a pen, chatting with Mark Lee and Kim Jungwoo. 

Johnny heads over to give Haechan’s table their own trivia paper, he does a few errands as a timer ticks down on the projector screen. Johnny manages to bring you a beer, and serve a few others at the table before the clock hits one, then he heads over to the bar, where he’ll be stationed for the next two hours, testing out the audio system. 

Taeyong enters the bar, eyes quickly scanning the tables, he makes the decision to join you and Jenni, taking the only free chair across from you. “Hey! You made it!” Jenni beams at her friend. Since they’re both leaders in your houses, they spend a lot of time together. You enjoy Taeyong, he’s a bit quiet, but a genuinely nice guy. 

“Happy Trivia Tuesday everybody!” Johnny says into the mic, drawing your attention from the wide eyed frat president, and earning a few whistles from the NCT table next to yours. 

“Take it off!” someone bellows, and when you turn to follow the voice you see that Lucas and Hendery are already drunk, happily situated near where your tables are joined. Most of the younger members, with the exception of Haechan, just come to Trivia Night to flirt. You’re not surprised that Lucas and Hendery already each have a few empty shot glasses in front of them.

Johnny grabs the bottom of his shirt as if he’s about to follow through with Lucas’s crude request, only to stop just as the first inch of beautiful skin is revealed, “You wish slut!” Johnny teases Lucas, getting back on track immediately. “I take my job as MC very seriously everyone.” Johnny laughs to himself, “For those of you who are new, the rules are quite simple. There are five categories, five questions each, with a total of 25 fill in the blank answers. The five categories are Art, Movies, History, Music and a Random category. Each category has a theme that changes every week. Every slide will be numbered and you get four minutes per question, with a five minute break between each category, which means we finish at 10:00.” he speaks so quick its hard to follow, “if you didn’t catch those rules, just roll with it. Without further ado, today’s first theme is…” he turns to look at the screen, hitting the next slide button to reveal “classical art!”

Your eyes shift to Taeyong, “We’re lucky you sat with us.” Jenni voices your thoughts. Taeyong might be a business major along with a few of the other NCT boys, but he has a minor in art history.

“Taeyong!” Haechan calls from the other end of the table, “come over to our side!”

Taeyong looks between you and Haechan, but luckily he doesn’t even get a chance to speak or choose who to listen to, because the ever prudent MC’s voice fills the room, “Whatever table you’re sat with is now your group, no changing or cheating, or you’ll be disqualified.”

Haechan makes a big deal out of this, rolling his eyes, throwing his hands up in the air, groaning- you’re surprised he doesn’t full-on throw his drink on the ground like a tantruming child.

“Is everyone ready?” Johnny looks around the room, then he switches to the slide.

“QUESTION 1: theme - classical art - name this painting and the painter (.5 points per answer)”

The picture on the screen is one you’ve seen before, hell, Lucas is so drunk he bellows “Easy! It’s the scream!” Loudly enough for everyone in the bar to hear.

But when Taeyong reaches for your pen- and you allow him to write “The Scream - Edvard Munch”- you realize the two part answer might not be as ‘easy’ as Lucas first thought. Edvard Munch- you’re glad Taeyong is here. 

You can’t help but sneak a glance down the table. Doyoung has the paper in front of him, and he’s pressed up to Haechan’s side, both of their heads bowed as they whisper. Jaehyun’s near them too, the final member of the ‘nct competitive trio’ who always does their absolute best to beat you at Trivia Tuesday. The dimpled captain of your university's soccer team throws you a wink, a challenge, and you shake your head at him.

It’s on. 

Between you, Jenni and Taeyong, you’re pretty sure you do well in the classical art category. However, Doyoung is a formidable foe, especially where Taeyong’s concerned. They might be best friends, but they compete as if they’re each other’s biggest enemies, and it proves to fuel the energy in the bar.

Category two ends up being Children’s movies. You’re a little nervous when Hendery, Yangyang and Lucas perk up at the first picture, a film you don’t recognize, but Taeyong simply takes your pen and fills in the blank. Again, when the round finishes, you feel okay with your answers. 

You and Haechan exchange a look when the History theme ends up being ‘Greek mythology’. You’re in a greek mythology classical studies class together right now, and you’d even had a debate over Hades and Persephone’s love story in high school. “To play the devil’s advocate” Haechan had said, as he began to defend Hades’ actions- the debate had gotten so explosive that your teacher had to threaten sending you to the principal’s office if you didn’t both calm down. Suffice it to say, the entire trivia round is spent with the both of you painstakingly answering the questions, personal investment making your skin flush with competitive anger. 

By the fourth round, which ends up being hip hop music, nearly everyone is tipsy. Johnny hums hip hop songs without using the lyrics, and everyone gets really into the game. Entire tables sing out songs to completion, not caring that the answer becomes a given. It’s during this round that a bunch of people leave the bar. A few couples pair off, and you’re a little shocked to see Sweet Baby Taeil leave with one of your frat sisters holding his hand, good for him. Winwin, Yuta, Mark and Jungwoo all clear out as well, and you watch the way the drunken lion hangs onto the small Canadian music theory major. 

Johnny comes with a pitcher of beer, filling up the cups of those of you who are left. It’s unspoken common knowledge that the final round is always for you and Haechan to fight it out.

Johnny counts out everyone points, whoever is left in the bar that is, and the top two groups get to go into the final lightning round which consists of abstract questions with no set answers. The two group leaders have to convince two of the three bartenders to their argument to win the game point. With the topic being random, you and Haechan both rely on your years of experience bullshitting your way through debates. 

“Okay, as predicted, the two leading teams are ‘NCT House’ and ‘The Sorority gal’s’” Johnny giggles and you nudge Jenni with your shoulder, being late means she gets to choose your team name, and this one is not up to standard in the slightest. “Y/N and Haechan, come on up for the final round.”

Those who are left in the bar are primarily your own friends, however a few other students come to watch the Thursday night trivia takedowns. In fact, the younger members of NCT House have started taking bets on who’s going to win, you or Haechan.

Jaehyun has migrated to a table with a few other frat guys, you recognize his friends Mingyu, Eunwoo and Yugyeom, as well as a tattooed Film Major named Jungkook, who you’ve hooked up with once or twice. 

The two bartenders who are on shift with Johnny tonight are Baekhyun and Kai. they’ve acted as the referees for your trivia nights a number of times, and you trust the impartiality of the three men, although Johnny does technically have a bias towards Haechan, he has so much chaotic Aquarius energy that you know he won’t show preference. 

“Okay, question twenty one, which doggo is best doggo?” there are four pictures of different dogs on the screen.

“Haechan!” Donghyuck screams his own name, hand raising immediately to signify he has an answer. Haechan’s tactic is always to answer first, so he can choose the easiest answer, or speak first, which he thinks gives him the upper hand. But it also gives you more time to fine tune your answer. 

“Haechan!” Johnny nods to the man standing a few feet away from you.

“Doggo number two is the best doggo for three reasons!” Haechan answers, he’s also loved giving ‘three’ examples ever since high school, so none of you are shocked his answer begins this way. Next he’s going to give a logic based answer, then one that makes your heart hurt, and he’ll finish it off by being charismatic and funny. “One, it’s a german shepherd, which are really smart, so smart they’re one of the best breeds for police force work. Reason number two, look at it’s little face and it’s cute little hat. Third and final reason, I used to volunteer waking dogs and german shepherds always attracted a specific kind of girl that was just,” Haechan makes a motion with his fingers, “chef's kiss.”

“Good reasons,” Johnny laughs, “Y/N, rebuttal!”

Unlike Haechan, your strategy is this: know your judges. 

“Doggo number four is the best doggo for one obvious reason!” you respond in the same animated manner as Haechan does, mocking him, which you know he hates. “It’s a corgi, in fact, I'm pretty sure that’s Baekhyun’s dog at Exo House’s Christmas party two years ago.”

“What?!” Haechan narrows his eyes at the picture of doggo number four, realizing a moment later that you’re right. 

“And we all know that Baekhyun’s doggo is the best doggo.” you conclude, speaking over Haechan. 

“And this round's winner is…” Johnny picks up his whiteboard paddle, your name written on the front of it, Baekhyun and Kai following suit, “unanimously Y/N!” 

“What!?” Jaehyun yells from the tables, “But the hot girls!”

“The chefs kiss!” Doyoung agrees loudly.

“Excuse me, are you two the judges?” Johnny glares at his friends, “no? I thought so, now shut up and let us work! Remember, there is no right or wrong answer, this is all based on your ability to argue. Next slide… question twenty two! Who’s the hottest?”

Four pictures appear on the board: Taeyong, Doyoung, Jaehyun and Ten. 

“Y/N!” you throw your arm up and grab Johnny’s attention.

“Someone’s eager, Y/N!” Johnny points at you to let you answer first.

“The hottest is Taeyong!” You know he’s good friends with not only Johnny, but Baekhyun and Kai as well. “He’s got an amazing jawline, gorgeous big eyes, and he’s just generally beautiful.”

“Haechan, Haechan, Haechan!” your opponent is wiggling with energy, and you turn to watch his rebuttal. 

“Haechan go!” Johnny nods to his friend.

“Ten is the hottest! His teeth are perfect,” Haechan begins counting to three with his fingers, “he looks amazing in any style of clothing you throw at him, and look at his nose! I’ve seen girls with nose jobs that aren’t even as pretty! Come on, Ten’s the hottest for sure.” 

Johnny holds up the side of his paddle that says ‘Haechan’, and after a moment, Kai agrees with him. To your credit, Baekhyun holds up your name, and he even verbally disagrees with his fellow judges, “Look at him!” Baekhyun points to Taeyong still seated at your table, his ears turning red from the attention, “He’s adorable!”

“If Ten was here you’d say he was adorable too!” Johnny insists, “Haechan wins.” He adds a tally to the board he uses to keep track, hiding the points from you and Haechan until the end of the trivia night. Sometimes, there’s not even really a point to go one versus one because you or Haechan have a five point or more lead, but Johnny likes the theatrics of it all. If he was to tell you that one of your wins is guaranteed, you and Haechan might not fight to the death as you do when it’s a close call, and Johnny’s nothing if not a slut for drama.

“Question twenty three,” Johnny switches to the next slide, “The best category on Netflix to watch when you want to get laid.”

Haechan is quick to throw up his hand to answer, and a moment later he’s going into a full on rant, “horror movies are the best to watch when you want to get laid because the girl will hide on your shoulder and you can cuddle up close-” You roll your eyes and Haechan turns to glare at you, “oh yeah? What's your answer then?”

“Well first, not every girl is going to ‘hide on your shoulder’ because of a horror movie, in fact, Donghyuck, if I remember correctly, you’re the one who screams at jump scares.” 

“That was one time in tenth grade-” Haechan glares at you.

Johnny smacks his hand down on the bar top, “order in my court! Y/N, name a Netflix category, other than horror, for when you want to get laid.” 

“Yeah babe, what are you going to put on Netflix for background noise when you finally give in and just admit you love me.” Haechan teases.

You scoff loudly, “you know what, Haechan, when pigs fly and I finally decide to graciously allow you to get with this,” you motion to your body, “I’ll be putting on a comedy, that way at least something will be guaranteed to be funny.” 

Three paddles present your name and Johnny is still laughing as he gives you the point, Haechan left stuttering with comebacks that fall short.  “Question twenty four, name one person to bring to a deserted island with you. Y/N you’re first.”

“The dude from that survivor show, Bear something-”

“Bear Grylls!” Johnny helps you with the name.

“Yeah him, because he’s been doing this shit on tv for years. He would be the best person to bring.” You say, knowing that you answer is falling a bit short, but that’s what happens in the final few questions, Johnny purposefully puts pressure on you and Haechan to answer quickly. 

“Haechan!” Johnny points to your debate counterpart.

“If I was on a deserted island I’d bring Y/N, and she’d be the best person because she’d be so fucking annoying I’d have a ton of motivation to build a raft to get the fuck out of there. Worst comes to worst I eat her-”

“Haechan!” Taeyong scolds from the table, “what did we say about cannibal jokes?” 

“You said they’re not funny, but they are!” Haechan insists, pointing to Baekhyun and Kai who, unfortunately enough for everyone else, are so immature that they’re giggling. 

“Are you two seriously going to vote for Haechan saying he’s going to eat me!?” you ask in shock, gaping at your two trusted bar tenders, “Johnny?! You too?!”

Johnny gives Haechan a tally mark. 

“Question twenty five, first answer that comes to your head.” Johnny says loudly, “Name the best song to fuck to.”

“Who even chose these questions?” Doyoung asks, smacking half empty glass of beer down on the table, “these are rigged!”

“What!?” Taeyong argues back, “Haechan just won due to cannibalism!”

“Silence from the peanut gallery!” Johnny screeches. Doyoung lets out a ‘hmph’ sound and crosses his arms over his chest. “Haechan, answer!”

“Uh…” Haechan falters, then he says “Anaconda, Nicki Minaj! Because my anaconda don’t want none unless you got buns hun!” 

“Y/N?” Johnny turns to you for the tie breaker answer. 

“Or Nah, by Ty Dolla $ign,” You respond smoothly, “because I can lick the tip then throat the dick.”

There's a brief moment of shock and then Jenni and Taeyong are cheering for you, Jaehyun’s frat table bursting out into a fit of giggles as Jungkook nods in confirmation, and all three bartenders show your name on their paddles, signifying another win for you. Haechan is sputtering beside you, “that’s cheating, you’re seducing the judges!” 

“She’s not seducing us.” Baekhyun laughs at Haechan’s tantrum, pouring the celebratory winner drink that the bar gives the Trivia Tuesday winner for free. 

“And the winner is, drumroll please…” those who are left in the bar follow Johnny’s cue and begin to tap their hands and feet, Johnny coming to stand between you and Haechan, grabbing each of your hands, “coming in first place with 23 points is…” he throws your arms up, “Y/N’s team!” 

Haechan doesn’t even take his loss graciously, a groan leaving his lips as he stomps back to his table. You don’t care, you accept the beer from Baekhyun and dance over to your side of the big Greek System table. 

“By half a point!?” Haechan’s voice draws your attention from the celebration. Johnny’s just handed him back his score sheet, of course Haechan always goes over it immediately after any loss, just to make sure the marking is correct. “On question one?!”

“The answer is Edward Munch!” Doyoung insists, grabbing the paper from Haechan to inspect it. his pointer finger repeatedly smashes against the name he’d written, and his eyes are wide as he looks up at the bartender and part time trivia judge.

“No it’s Edvard, with a V.” Johnny says, pointing it out to them, a shit eating grin on his face.

“Since when was this a fucking spelling test!” Haechan throws the paper in the air.

“Uh, since always,” Baekhyun calls from the bar, tapping the trivia night poster which clearly says in the rules at the bottom that spelling counts when it comes to names and close call winner ceremonies. 

Haechan slumps his head into his hands, “God damn it.”

“No, don’t let her in, she’s not invited.” Comes an irritating voice from over Jaehyun’s shoulder. 

“Aw, are you still upset that I beat you at Trivia Tuesday, Baby Face?” you pout at Haechan teasingly, utilizing the old pet name you gave him back in grade eight. In those days he still had all his baby fat, and would get so upset in class arguments that he looked like a baby. He still does the tantruming, but he’s lost the weight, his jaw now nearly as sharp as his frat president’s… he’s not a baby face anymore, but you’ll never acknowledge it.

Jaehyun smirks at you and Haechan bickering, moving out of the way to let you and your friends through the door to NCT House. Of course you’re invited to the party, as the ‘sibling sorority’ to NCT, you and your ‘sisters’ get free access to pretty much all of their frat events, especially their parties. 

“You beat me by less than a point.” Haechan rolls his eyes at you, taking a sip from his red solo cup. His eyes are dark and alert, sizing you up. He wonders why you have to dress so- so- revealing! That’s the word. Haechan hates it. You should be in a jacket, it’s cold out. In your outfit right now, well, guys will be checking you out, and for some reason the thought of one of his frat brothers kissing you- it sets Haechan’s teeth on edge. 

You grin as you walk past Haechan, “okay Baby Face, keep telling yourself that.”

NCT House is large enough that it’s easy to get lost in the sea of people. You’ve never had any problems avoiding Haechan during parties, and tonight isn’t any different. Three hours pass by blissfully, you bounce around with your friends from the dance floor to various rooms throughout the house, even joining in on a game of beer pong with Jaehyun, Johnny and Yuta. You’ve been drinking on and off, and end up in a happy buzz, looking for Taeyong and Jenni, who you lost a little while ago.

You poke your head into Doyoung’s room, only to be met by Mark, Doyoung and Haechan. 

“You looking for someone?” Mark asks, smiling lazily at you.

“Just Taeyong, he’s obviously not here.” you respond, turning to continue your search. 

You don’t hear Haechan excuse himself and follow you, the music from downstairs drowning out just about everything as you pass down the hallway in a pleasant half drunken state. You feel good, happy, aware of everything, just tipsy enough to be carefree. 

Haechan watches the way you walk, it’s different from normal, your gate is all off. He’s spent years watching you walk away from him, so of course he notices the ‘drunk waddle’ you do at parties. He licks his lips, still able to taste the peach schnapps he’d just been drinking. He’s around your level of tipsy, but where you’re happy and lightheaded, Haechan is determined, with a stubborn set to his jaw. 

“Why are you looking for Taeyong?” Haechan asks. The sudden intrusion of his voice on your otherwise happy hallway walk makes you stop and turn to look at him, eyes narrowing. 

“What?”

“Taeyong. He’s busy. Why are you looking for him?”

“Stop being so jealous, you big baby,” you roll your eyes at Haechan, turning to continue down the hall- only to be grabbed in a vice grip. Haechan throws you against the wall, the air leaving your lungs from shock more than anything else, eyes blinking away any tipsy haze that your last drink had offered you. 

“Call me a baby one more time, I swear to god-” Haechan growls, his face getting close to yours. You can see the deep brown of his eyes, looking rich against the beautiful tone of his skin. His breath smells sweet, like alcohol, but oddly enough you don’t mind, body reacting as it tingles across the skin of your neck and face-

“Woah?” Taeyong’s confused tone snaps you back into reality, and you push Haechan away from you, “am I interrupting… something?”

“She was just looking for you.” Haechan answers smoothly, turning and heading back into Doyoung’s room without another word, foot shutting the door behind him.

“What was all that about?” Taeyong asks you.

Your brows furrow in confusion, “i don’t know.”

By the next morning, you’ve all but forgotten about your little altercation with Haechan. He’s pissed you off enough in your life that the times he’s made you mad at frat parties all seem to blend together, besides, he’s done worse. Like the time he cock blocked you with his friend Jeno… but to be fair, you’d cock blocked him with one of your friends the week before too- in all honesty, your feud has gone on for so long that the scoreboard is marred beyond recognition, who truly started it? You’re inclined to say he did, but if you were to ask him, he’d point to you as the reason the two of you will never be able to get along.

Regardless, your life continues as it is, and on Trivia Tuesday, you find yourself at the bar, sitting opposite ends from Haechan. 

It’s nearly eight, trivia starting time, when Jaehyun rolls into the bar. He looks fresh from the shower, hair damp, and you know he’s probably just coming from the gym. Instead of going to sit on the NCT House table, he comes to you, taking the seat across from you and Jenni. The tables do intermingle, a few of your new pledges stuck between Lucas, Jungwoo and Yuta, but to have one of their star players here on your side? If Haechan could shoot laser beams from his eyes, Jaehyun would have been dead the moment he started over to your table. 

 “You’re playing with us tonight?” Jenni asks in shock.

“Gotta switch it up every now and then.” Jaehyun shrugs, “besides, tonight’s game isn’t going to be that fun anyways.” 

“And how would you know that?” You laugh, enjoying the cockiness that radiates off of the gorgeous man in front of you.

Jaehyun shrugs, “let’s just say I have insider’s information.” 

Johnny starts the game up a moment later, and when the first Art theme is ‘Van Gogh’, you realize that all the questions are going to be super easy, so much so, that Jenni takes the sheet of paper away from you to answer, leaving you to be able to talk to Jaehyun, who is obviously here to see you, not Jenni.

“So, Spring Formal is coming up.” Jaehyun says, leaning his chin on the palm of his hand, “you guys going as girlfriends again, or are you actually going to allow us guys a chance?” 

Jenni giggles next to you. At the last formal, your entire sorority had gone as each other’s dates, to prove to the guys that none of you need them to show up in suits with flowers and a limo- because if they’re not going to live up to your standards, you guys can reach them yourselves. You and Jenni had had a wonderful time at the formal, and only a very select few guys were even able to convince some of your sisters to dance- you know for a fact Jaehyun had gone the entire night without touching a woman, and you’d kind of felt bad at the time. Now here he is, and you suppose as far as NCT House boys go, he’s one of the better catches- despite you arguing for Taeyong’s looks in trivia night last week.

“We’re not going as girlfriends.” Jenni quips.

“Great,” Jaehyun looks to you again, “want to go with me?”

It only takes you a moment to agree, easily won over by Jaehyun’s charming smile and that cute dimple that appears when you say “yes.” 

“These questions are too easy!” Haechan whines from the other end of the table, as the category switches to movies and ends up being ‘vampire themed’.

The first picture is of a Twilight movie, and on the other end of the table, Hendery immediately whispers “breaking dawn part 2.”

“No it’s part one.” Xiaojun responds, with just as much ferocity. The two start arguing and Jaehyun laughs, watching as Jenni writes down ‘breaking dawn part 2’. 

“Last week’s game was too intense.” Jaehyun says, sitting back in his chair, “everyone wanted something fun.”

You have to admit, now that you’re not on the edge of your seat, muscles tensed with anticipation to answer trivia… well, it is relaxing to be hanging out with friends in the bar. You find yourself leaning against Jenni, laughing at something Jaehyun is saying as question three becomes question twelve becomes question nineteen. 

“Okay, final round, the two teams who’ve made it are…. NCT House and Sorority Gal’s 2.0. Please send up a team leader!” Johnny’s instructions draw your attention.

“I’ll go up.” Jenni says, patting your hand and moving out of the booth to go stand next to Haechan by the bar.

“Watching this part is always the most fun.” Jaehyun comes to steal Jenni’s spot next to you, and you can’t help but enjoy the closeness. He smells good, and he’s so big- you can feel his warmth as his shoulder brushes yours, his eyes glued to where Jenni and Haechan are facing the projector screen.

Everyone seems to be a little shocked that Jenni is up there and not you, even Haechan whips around to look at you and Jaehyun. His mouth forms a firm line, and he turns back to the projector screen. 

“Question twenty one,” Johnny begins, “If I, Johnny motherfucking Suh, had to dye my hair any colour, which colour would be the sexiest? Jenni, you’re first.”

“Blonde.” Jenni answers, “that way, you can temporarily dye it anything you want, but you need that base blonde level, and I think it would look really good next to your brown eyes.”

“Ok ok, good reasons,” Johnny nods, “Haechan!”

You brace yourself for whatever bullshit answer Haechan is about to give, ready to see him try to decimate your best friend-

“I agree, blonde would be nice.”

You feel your jaw drop.

“Haechan, you’re supposed to argue a different colour, that’s the point of the game.” Johnny says, “Did you hit your head climbing out of our window last night?”

“I’m fine,” Haechan pushes away Johnny’s hand as he tries to assess Haechan’s head, “Jenni’s just right, blonde is a nice colour for you.”

“So I guess… Jenni wins this round?” Sungchan, a new bartender and pledge to NCT House asks. He’s never judged one of these before, and the paddle with Jenni’s name in his hand looks a little out of place. 

Next to him, Shotaro, the second new bartender pledge, follows suit, flashing a big puppy dog smile as he shows everyone the Jenni paddle. 

“This is bullshit.” you mutter to Jaehyun who laughs, moving his arm around your shoulders to pull you tighter so he can whisper back into your ear. “Just relax and have some fun.” 

You take a breath, focusing more on your friend winning than Haechan, who is obviously allowing her to have the upper hand. It irks you the entire night, all the way back to your sorority house, that Haechan would work so hard to beat you, but be nice to Jenni.

You know that Haechan is generally well liked, but there’s something about him rubbing it in your face- the fact that he has the capacity to be nice, but just never tries with you, well, it’s awoken a fury inside of you that you just can’t get a handle on. 

“No this plan is genius.” Johnny assures the two people sitting in front of him, “Jaehyun has Y/N, Hyuck will take you-” he motions to Jenni who holds up a hand.

“You still haven't explained how you’re going to subtly pressure Haechan into asking me, of all people, to the Spring Formal.” She says.

“Pff,” Johnny laughs, “that will be the easy part. I can hypnotize him in his sleep.”

“Really?” both of his friends gasp at him.

“No not really, I mean, I’ve considered it, but I haven't tried it-” Johnny waves his hand, “just trust me, I’ll make it happen. Haechan is vindictive, if Y/N is going with Jae, the only possible equivalent is you, Jenni. And then once Haechan sees Jae with Y/N and she sees you with Haechan-”

“They’ll both be so jealous they have to admit they like each other.” Jenni finishes for him. She’s been watching you and Haechan with interest the past few months, having always suspected there were some deeper feelings there, and now, knowing that Jaehyun and Johnny see it too- well, she can’t just ignore the obvious sexual tension any longer, and god damn it, she’ll get the two of you laid if it’s the last thing she does. 

“You know Johnny,” Jaehyun stretches his arms behind his head with a smile, “This isn’t the worst idea you’ve ever had.”

“So…” Johnny collapses onto his bed, eyes moving to Haechan who’s sitting at his desk, headphones half on as he plays online games. Johnny can hear Yangyang’s voice on the other end of the call, yelling something that Johnny is pretty sure is ‘Get Chenle! Get Chenle!’

“One sec.” Haechan madly clicks buttons, letting out a big sigh and taking off his headphones, putting them down, “okay, what’s up?”

“I was just wondering if you’re going to the Spring Formal on Saturday” Johnny says. It’s less than a week away now, and Jenni’s only going to stay single for so long to allow Johnny’s plan to work. 

“Of course I am.” Haechan rolls his eyes.

“Who are you taking?” Johnny pretends to be nonchalant, pulling out his phone to scroll through it before he goes to sleep.

“Not sure yet, why?”

“I just thought maybe you’d asked Jenni,” Johnny shrugs, “you were nice to her at Trivia Night last week.” 

Haechan’s mouth forms a firm line and he looks for a moment like he’s trying to figure out if this is a compliment or an insult.

“She’s pretty.” Johnny continues.

“She is.” Haechan agrees. “I always thought Jaehyun was into her.”

“Jae asked Y/N.”

Haechan nods, eyes narrowing as he turns to look back at his computer screen, “Maybe I should ask Jenni.”

Johnny smirks to himself. Haechan’s so predictable. It’s about time someone gave him a taste of his own match making medicine, and Johnny’s glad he’s the one who gets to be the mastermind behind it.

At Tuesday Trivia night, Jaehyun comes to sit with you and Jenni. He’s a nice guy, and he’s a good conversationalist, able to keep up with you and your best friend, while filling out the easy trivia questions.

“Why is it another easy week?” you sigh, looking at the paper wistfully. You kind of miss the burn of the pencil in your palm, finger aching from furiously scribbling out answer after answer-

“I think Haechan suggested it.” Jaehyun says smoothly. He’s lying, but the look in your eyes tells him that you’ve bought it and it’s made you mad.

“Why would he want it to be easy?” you cock your head.

“I think he has something planned,” Jaehyun shrugs, “there’s a special girl he wants to ask to formal or something.” 

Your eyes immediately move to all the girls at your table. Many of your sorority sisters are gorgeous, and there’s a pang of something like anger in your chest. You ignore the anger, thinking it must be just general dislike for Haechan, you don’t want him dating any of your sorority sisters, that’s for sure. 

The game night continues, the three of you spending much of your time talking about extracurriculars. Jaehyun’s the captain of the university soccer team, and it looks like they’ll be doing some traveling soon to play against other schools. Before you even know it, it’s the final round, and once again, Jenni heads up to fight Haechan.

After last week, most people have kind of realized that Haechan and Jenni aren’t as fun to watch as when you’re Haechan’s foe. Conversations continue, all the sparkle lost from the usually fiery final round. 

When Jenni comes back to sit next to you, after Haechan won, she says, “he asked me to be his date to Spring Formal.”

“What?” you narrow your eyes.

“I said yes.” Jenni’s words come out quickly, “I know you don’t like him, but you have to admit he’s attractive-”

“Haechan?!” you say it so loudly that you fear he may have heard you, and your eyes slide over to where Haechan is talking with Johnny at the bar. 

Jenni shrugs, “maybe it will be fun.” she’s smiling, and it is nice to see your best friend happy- but you just can’t get over the bad taste the news has left in your mouth. 

“But why Haechan?” you groan for the umpteenth time, watching Jenni finish the last touch on her hair. 

“Honestly?” Jenni sighs, turning to look at you, “you have to admit he’s hot. I know you two have your history of fighting, but come on Y/N, he’s gorgeous.”

“He is not!” you say, but Jenni grins because you’re not fooling anyone.

“Y/N, you’re not blind.” Jenni adjusts her dress, fluffing her hair out, “I know you call him Baby Face and Cry Baby and all sorts of variations on the word baby, but he’s not that kid you debated against in eleventh grade. He’s a hot frat boy now. Maybe it’s time for you both to bury the hatchet.”

“Never.” 

“Well, at least try to be civil at the formal, we’ll all be sitting together.” She reminds you and you let out a groan. At every formal you’ve been to, avoiding Haechan has been easy, but now he’s going to be sitting with you? With Jenni? His date? 

The frat village holds all the sorority and frat houses on campus, and when you look out of your window, you can see the square is filled with people dressed for Formal, waiting for the big party busses to arrive and take you to the venue. 

“Hey, are you into Jae?” Jenni asks as you leave the bedroom, heading to join everyone outside. 

“Uh, I mean he’s cute, but I don’t know, I couldn’t ever date him, if that’s what you mean.” you answer, “He only asked me to the formal because we’re friends.” It’s not uncommon for NCT House to take girls from your sorority to the formals, last year you went with Taeyong to Winter Formal and Yuta to Spring Formal. 

“Do you have your eye on anyone else then?” Jenni asks, “I know you liked Jeno for a while-”

“No, Jeno wasn’t really my type either.” you sigh.

“True, weren’t you mostly just flirting with him to piss Haechan off?”

Before you can answer- and by answer I mean defend your honour and your hatred of Haechan to your best friend- you bump into a group of boys from NCT House. Jenni smoothly inserts herself into the conversation, slotting between Taeyong and Doyoung while you go to stand near Jaehyun.

“Hey, you look beautiful.” Jaehyun smiles.

“You clean up nicely too.” you grin, nudging him with your shoulder. The two of you begin to chat about the venue, Jaehyun’s pretty sure you’ll end up at the same place as last time, but only frat presidents/coordinators know the location, that way no one can party crash because only a select few have the details. 

There’s a commotion from NCT House and all eyes turn to the doorway, where Haechan and Kun have run outside holding something that’s on fire. Haechan throws the flaming piece of fabric onto the grass, stomping it out aggressively with his foot and cursing while Jungwoo follows holding a phone and giggling.

“I told you it was flammable.” Kun is saying as he makes sure the fabric, which you see now is what appears to be a suit jacket, is fully extinguished of fire.

“Everything’s flammable.” Haechan mutters, picking up the black jacket and inspecting it, “well, my bad. Here Kun.” he holds it out for the older man whose jaw drops.

“What do you expect me to do with it?” 

Haechan nods, “good point.” he drops it on the grass again, “I didn’t need a jacket anyways.” and then he shoves his hands in his pockets and saunters over to your group, coming to stand next to Jenni who still has a look of shock on her face.

“Haechan-” she begins and he holds up a hand.

“Don’t question it.” he says smoothly, “trust the process.” he rolls up the arms of his dress shirt, exposing the pretty skin and arm veins beneath, and you tear your gaze from him, focusing instead on Jaehyun.

“I can’t believe Jenni said yes to him.”

Jaehyun laughs, “You know, you and Haechan are more alike than you’ll admit.”

“Excuse me,” you scoff, “and when was the last time I lit a jacket on fire?”

“I'm pretty sure you almost lit Johnny on fire at New Year’s actually-”

“We don’t talk about that night.” you interrupt Jaehyun before he can get into the details on how you got so drunk you spilled champagne on Johnny and then proceeded to try to hug him, which made him bump into a table holding a candle… which then rolled to his shirt sleeve, and well- the disaster had been thwarted by the ever watchful Taeyong. “Look, the bus is here.” 

Jaehyun’s hand finds the small of your back, and the two of you get onto the bus with the other members of your university Greek System. When you sit down, you look for Jenni, only to realize that she’s dragging Haechan after her. They manage to grab the seats in front of you and Jaehyun, Jenni fully turning around in her seat to begin talking with you and your date, after a moment, Haechan turns too. 

You can tell he’s making an effort not to look at you. And you don’t mind, you try to ignore him as well.

Haechan has to remind himself to breathe properly, and his mouth feels dry. His skin is prickling with tension, and it takes all of his concentration not to look at you. He’s seen you dressed up before at formals, but never up this close, no, this close he can see every detail. 

This close, his fingers ache to reach out and tug at one of your loose strands of hair, to annoy you- to watch your pretty strands bounce back after a rough tug- 

And god, who let you buy your dress? Haechan swears it must be tailored or something because no dress off a hanger could fit you so well. He’s almost angry at the dress, but then he directs that anger at you, and it festers the more people sneak glances your way.

Lucas, two rows back, has his eyes fixed on your neck and shoulders, exposed by the dress, and Haechan grinds his teeth together. Across the aisle sits Mark, and even he keeps sneaking glances at you. But Jaehyun is, without a doubt, the worst. Haechan catches the movement of his hand, and watches with disdain as it finds a home on your thigh. 

“Haechan?” Jaehyun’s voice interrupts his younger friend's loathing, and Haechan’s dark eyes snap up.

“What?”

“We asked what venue you think it will be.” Jaehyun says smoothly.

“Does it matter?” Haechan asks, his tone coming off ruder than he intended… ‘but if Jaehyun would just remove his hand, then maybe I wouldn’t feel the need to be so rude now would I?’ Haechan thinks to himself. 

“What’s got you in a huff?” Jenni asks, her hand finding Haechan’s shoulder to soothe him.

You watch the motion, the way her beautiful hand rubs his shoulder up and down. ‘Haechan’s being a baby, he doesn’t need coddling right now, especially not from Jenni,’ you fume, hoping Jenni doesn't end up as yet another one of Haechan’s noona hookups who brings him coffee and cuddles him when he should be studying for tests- 

While Jenni and Haechan begin their own conversation, Jaehyun asks you about classes, and despite how hard you try, you can’t ignore the mere existence and close proximity of the annoying man sitting in the seats in front of you. It’s as if his voice is an annoying melody, and you can’t seem to get it out of your head.

The formal had gone well for the first hour. There were some speeches and then food was served, but when dessert rolled out and dancing started, Haechan had decided that the time for pleasantries was over.

“Next week’s Trivia Tuesday,” he says, drawing your attention, “I’m going to kick your ass.”

“Oh yeah?” you roll your eyes, turning to look at him, “you keep saying you’re going to kick my ass but most of the time, I end up winning.”

“Most of the time.” Haechan scoffs, “as if.”

Jenni and Jaehyun exchange a glance. 

“If you miss getting beaten by me so bad, invite me to one of your video game nights, I’m sure I could beat you there too.” you say, lifting your chin defiantly and crossing your arms over your chest.

Haechan laughs loudly, “are you drunk? Yo must be drunk to say something as stupid as that.”

Jaehyun and Jenni smoothly excuse themselves, but you and Haechan barely even register their exit, too caught up in your own feud.

“I’ll beat you at anything Lee Donghyuck.” you seethe, “trivia night, video games, cards, board games, chess-”

“Ok, checkers, right now, pull out your phone.” Haechan demands. 

A minute later, you’re both hunched over your phones at a table in the corner at Spring Formal, dueling it out over checkers while your dates dance and laugh the night away in each other’s arms.

Checkers becomes chess, becomes scrabble- and finally someone approaches the two of you. It’s Taeyong, and he asks you to dance, because he’s requested DJ Johnny plays your favourite song next. “What have the two of you even been doing in this corner all night on your phones?” he questions as he takes your hand to pull you from your seat.

“Been battling to see who’s the best gamer.” Haechan answers.

“And who’s winning?” Taeyong laughs.

Haechan narrows his eyes at you, “it’s pretty even, but we haven't played video games yet.” 

This makes Taeyong stop laughing, his eyes widening, “Y/N, you really don’t want to challenge Haechan to video games.”

“Too late, she already did.” Haechan stands triumphantly, “where’s Jenni?”

“Pretty sure I saw her and Jaehyun go to the bathroom together a while ago-” 

“What!?” Haechan looks around wildly, eyes searching for one of the two people in question, “THAT ASSHOLE STOLE MY DATE!”

Taeyong smiles softly, “you stole his first.”

You’re whisked away before Haechan can start throwing fists, and Taeyong brings you into the middle of the crowd dancing. It’s nice to be with him, and he’s a great dancer. “How’s your night going?” The soft hearted frat president asks.

“I mean, all I’ve been doing is playing games with Haechan.” you answer.

“Sounds… fun?” Taeyong laughs a little.

“It was, kind of.” you admit, “but enough about him, where’s your date?”

“Look on the stage.” Taeyong twirls you so you can assess the DJ setup. Johnny and Mark are up there, and they’re swarmed by girls, one of whom is pressed to Mark’s side, you recognize her as Taeyong’s date. 

“Oh.” 

Taeyong laughs, “when do people ever really end up spending the night with their own dates though?”

“Good point.” 

Dancing with Taeyong feels easy, and before you know it, it’s nearly midnight and the busses have returned to take you all back to the Frat Village. While waiting to get onto the bus, you look around for Jenni and Jaehyun, with little luck. “They’re probably already on a bus.” Taeyong says, hand smoothing against your lower back to offer some comfort.

“Who?” Doyoung asks, stepping into line next to you both.

“Jae and Jenni.”

“Oh yeah, they’re on bus number one.” Doyoung points to the bus that's closing its doors, fully packed and ready to leave.

“Fucking Jaehyun.” Comes Haechan’s voice as he appears next to Doyoung. The four of you enter bus number two.

“Dibs on Taeyong.” Doyoung says when you find an empty seat, grabbing the NCT president and dragging him to sit down.

This leaves you standing there with Haechan, who grumbles “fucking Doyoung” and then continues down the aisle towards one of the last free seats. You follow after a moment’s hesitation. “Sit.” Haechan says without looking up from his phone, his free hand patting the spot next to him. “I wanna try checkers again.”

Jenni nudges you and you immediately put your phone down, continuing your notes for class. “You’re so distracted.” she whispers when your professor turns their back to you, looking at the projector screen.

“I’m kicking Haechan’s ass at chess.” you mumble, waiting a few moments then pulling out your phone to make your next move. While you’re deciding what to do next, a notification tells you Haechan’s also made his move in checkers, and a few seconds after that, Scrabble as well.

“How many games are you even playing against each other at the same time?” Jenni asks.

“I don’t know, four or five.” you respond, eyes focused on your screen, “he’s beating me at checkers.”

Jenni’s phone dings and she frowns, “no one’s going to Trivia Night tonight, looks like a bunch of NCT have a midterm project due tomorrow and are studying in the library.”

“What? Tell them to bring their books to the bar!”

Jenni types something into her phone then laughs, “Jaehyun says that Haechan suggested the same thing.”

“Okay good.”

“No, they said no to him too, I’m just saying… you and Haechan said the same thing.” her tone is kind of weird, and you can’t help but notice that since Formal a few days ago, she’s been bringing up Haechan a lot.

“Did Jaehyun invite you to go to the library to study with everyone?” you ask, hoping that if you talk about her new crush, she’ll drop her whole weird confusing Haechan obsession. 

“Yeah,” Jenni smiles, “I think I will actually, what are you going to do after class?”

“Well… tonight’s Trivia Night.” you frown. You’d been excited for it, excited to go and compete against Haechan. 

“Maybe you should go play video games against Haechan instead.” Jenni suggests, “the frat will be mostly empty anyways.”

“What does the frat being empty have to do with anything?” you narrow your eyes at your best friend.

Jenni smirks mischievously, “well you and Haechan can yell at each other all you want and no one will over hear it.” 

Haechan: Did you hear about Trivia Night?

Y/N: yeah it’s canceled :(

Haechan: come play video games

Y/N: ask nicely

Haechan: come play video games after class or I’ll come to your sorority house and egg your window :)

Haechan doesn’t even greet you when he opens the door to his frat, waving you in as he aggressively argues with someone over the phone, “No Yangyang, I’m not saying you should climb up to the top of the gym by using the flower thing as a ladder,,” he motions for you to follow him through the frat house with his free hand, “I’m saying that if you did, and you got caught, you could run fast enough that no one would be able to catch you, and if you’re wearing a ski mask- well, i mean, it’s cold out still isn’t it? Is wearing hats illegal now?” You get to his room as Haechan says goodbye to his friend. 

You’ve been in Johnny’s room once or twice, but you’ve never spent much time looking at Haechan’s side of the room. He has an entire gaming table, and there are two controllers sitting on his bed, with Call of Duty opened on the screen.

“You just told your friend to climb the gym and take photos at the top.” you say when Haechan puts his phone down.

“Technically I didn’t, I just told him how to if he made that choice for himself.” Haechan responds, jumping onto his bed, “one versus one call of duty.”

“Isn’t it kind of not fair that we’re playing all your favourite games.” you sigh, tentatively taking a seat next to Haechan on his bed.

“We’re playing the ones I don’t use often.” Haechan responds, his eyes scanning the screen, “but if you’re really that worried I’m going to beat you, we can go play some of Yangyang’s video games, or Jaimin’s.” 

“Ok, after this.” you watch Haechan customize his gun, rolling your eyes when he goes for dual pistols as a secondary weapon. 

Within ten minutes, the game is starting, and Haechan is leaning forward with full focus on the screen. He’s never taken any of your games anything less than 100% seriously, and you don’t think he’s going to go easy on you now just because you’re playing video games, which are his medium of choice.

You notice the way his tongue peaks out, he appears to be almost gnawing on it as the game begins. You also sit forward, figuring that there must be a reason for it, and you notice that closer to the screen, you can be more immersed-

You die.

“Hey! Are you screen peeking!?”

“Maybe.” Haechan giggles next to you and you take a glance at his screen.

“And you’re camping! With a sniper!” 

Haechan’s laugh becomes sinister, “you never said there were rules.” 

Your jaw drops as you respawn, “i can’t believe you.”

“Ha ha!” 

“Well. Two can play that game.” you find a corner and put your controller down, looking at Haechan, who is, of course, still camped out in his one sniper hole.

“Hey!” he protests, “you have to run around or I can’t shoot you!”

“Maybe you should leave your hiding spot.”

“No. I’m winning.” 

“By one kill.” you scoff.

Haechan shrugs, putting his controller down, “I’m hungry.” he reaches for a bag of candy sitting by his monitor. 

You’re glad that it’s a Tuesday, because Jenni and you stopped at the bookstore for lunch, and you still have a bag of chips from the vending machine. You grab your purse and fish out your treat, Haechan watching your movements and licking his lips. “You have chips.” he says.

“Yeah, and you don’t get any.” you state.

“Well you don’t get any of my candy.” Haechan responds quickly, but his eyes stay glued to you as you plop a chip into your mouth. Haechan licks his lips, “what if, if I kill you, I get a chip.”

“Good luck killing me while camping out with a sniper.” you laugh.

“I’ll come down, I’ll play fair.”

“And if I kill you?”

“Then you can have a candy.” Haechan moves the candy bag in front of your face and you can smell the delicious food inside.

“Fine. You’re on. But you have to come down from your hiding place first.” 

You wait until Haechan’s side of the screen shows that he’s in the open, and then you pick up your controller.

“Let the games begin.” Haechan mutters, eyes narrowing as he adjusts back into ‘gamer position’. 

A few moments later, you see a flash of movement and then you and Haechan are shooting each other. You almost think you’re going to win, but you die first, and you groan loudly while Haechan cheers, “chips!” he says, turning to look at you expectantly.

You sigh and hold out your food, Haechan grabs a chip, chewing aggressively, then he turns back to the screen, “you should just give me the whole bag now.”

You roll your eyes, “as if.”

Haechan is so cocky, and it pushes all of your buttons, making you extra focused on beating him. When there’s a brief movement, you begin to shoot, and a moment later, you watch Haechan’s character fall down dead. “Ha!” you jump up, throwing your arms in the air, “I got you!”

Haechan groans, watching you sit down, then he fishes a candy from his bag, holding it out, “say ah.”

“What?” you smack his hand away, “you’re not feeding me that candy.”

“Well then you don’t get it.”

“That wasn’t part of the rules.” you glare.

“Is now. Do you want the candy, or are you too chicken?”

You groan loudly but give in, Haechan can’t call you a chicken and get away with it, and you’ll be damned if you don’t get your fucking candy. You open your mouth.

“Tongue.” Haechan watches you carefully.

“I swear to god-” you roll your eyes and push at Haechan, but he simply grabs your wrists, pinning them with one hand.

“Tongue.” he repeats, eyes dark. The tone in the room has shifted, and your skin feels electrified, pulse racing at the sudden situation you’ve found yourself in. You stick your tongue out for him and Haechan places the candy on it. “Good girl.” 

He lets go of you and turns back to the tv. If it wasn’t for the fact that he could legitimately find you and kill your character, thereby getting even more of a lead on you, maybe you would have stopped to fight him. But instead, you grab your controller, focusing your attention on the game instead of Haechan’s close proximity to you. 

You’re on the edge of your seat now, eyes glued to the game, and you shock both yourself and Haechan when you end up killing him a second consecutive time. 

“Bullshit!” Haechan groans next to you.

“Aw, is Baby Face made that I’m beating him?” you turn to gloat, revelling in the feeling of competition-

But then Haechan is grabbing you and slamming you down against the bed, slotting himself between your legs and pinning your arms above your head, “call me baby again, I fucking dare you.” he growls. His voice is low and his words go straight to your core, which comes alive with interest, your legs tightening unconciously around Haechan’s waist.

You swallow thickly and lick your lips, “quit being a baby and give me a candy.” you say smoothly. 

Haechan narrows his eyes at you, face getting closer to yours. You can feel his breath against your skin, and his lips look so pretty-

Haechan reaches for something, hand coming back with a candy that he slots between his teeth, holding it just above your own mouth. His eyes challenge you, eyebrow cocking as if to say ‘your turn’. 

You lift your head up to try to get access to the candy, but Haechan pulls away, smirking down at you. You groan, rolling your eyes, a rude comment just about to work it’s way up your throat when Haechan sucks the candy back into his mouth and plants his lips directly onto yours. He has the candy wedged in his cheek, but you can taste the sweetness of it on his lips.

Haechan releases his hold on your wrists, which have been pinned this whole time, and now that you have mobility, you wrap your arms around the back of his neck. One of your hands moves to his pretty hair, and you get a good handful, pulling lightly and earning yourself a growl from the man who’s kissing you as if his life depends on it.

Your entire body feels on fire, consumed by the feeling of Haechan. You’re not even sure how you’re able to sneak breaths between the kisses- and you gasp when Haechan grinds down, the front of his jeans catching deliciously against your core. 

“Whoever caves in first and takes clothes off loses.” Haechan says when he moves his kisses to your neck, nipping and sucking at the skin. 

You laugh, “and what does the winner get?” 

“The winner gets to have her brains fucked out.” Haechan responds. 

Her brains fucked out. He’s already declared you the winner. He’s given up. The knowledge that you’ve broken Haechan- he’s going to give up the game- gives you a sense of power that makes your heart feel tight in your chest.

“What if i want to be the loser and fuck your brains out?” you ask. 

“Lose the next game.” Haechan responds, hands grabbing at the bottom of your shirt and lifting to expose some of your skin, “you see, I already lost.” 

You grasp the bottom of Haechan’s hoodie, but he smacks your hands away, “no, I’m in control.” he tells you, looking into your eyes with a firm expression on his face. 

“Prove it.” you challenge.

Haechan scoffs, and the cocky attitude that has for so long annoyed you, oddly enough, sends a shiver of anticipation through your body. Your mouth feels dry from being so wound up, waiting for him to just do something- 

His hand wraps around your throat, “I’m about to prove it princess. And any time you call me baby again, I’ll prove it then too. I’ll fuck you anywhere and prove to everyone that you’re mine.”

His grip on your throat is so tight you can’t even respond, so you’re left to fester in the idea of belonging to Haechan, as his free hand begins to undo your pants. 

“No fucking talking back.” Haechan growls as he tears your jeans open, “if you do, I’ll have to gag you.”

“Maybe you should make me gag on your cock.” you say the moment his hand moves from your neck.

Haechan pulls your pants and your panties down just enough for him to get his hand between your thighs, which are spread because he’s still slotted between your legs. 

“I’ll make you choke on my cock later.” he says, pressing his mouth to yours again as his fingers slip between your folds, “so fucking wet. My little fucking whore-”

You nip at his lip, a warning for him not to be too degrading, and Haechan smirks against your mouth, “aw, kitten doesn’t like being called Daddy’s little whore? Well she’ll have to get fucking used to it.” Two of his fingers glide into your pussy and you gasp when he hooks them up, searching for that spot- 

“Fuck, Haechan! Right there!” you pull at his hair, moaning against his lips as his fingers work you up. He’s so good at this- where the fuck did he learn how to do this?

His tongue invades your mouth, forcing another gasp from you, your back arching off the bed only to be pushed back down by the weight of Haechan’s large body, which holds you steady and in place as his fingers continue their assault. 

“Cum for me.” Haechan says, voice low and husky. 

You clench your eyes shut as your body follows through with his command, it’s not like you can help it even if you wanted to, Haechan’s too skilled. The orgasm slams into you hard, and with Haechan where he is, you can’t even close your legs or get away as his fingers glide in and out of you. You can hear your wetness now, pussy all but squelching, your moans uncensored as you dig your nails into Haechan’s shoulders. 

“You like that kitten?” Haechan watches you closely as your face contorts with pleasure, and he all but eats up your sounds, which are music to his ears. When you finally come down, Haechan removes his fingers from your core and pushes them past your lips, watching with interest as you suck him clean. “Bet you taste amazing, I think i’ll have to see for myself.”

His lips move to your neck, and then down, tongue dipping to caress the well of your collarbone. His free hand pushes your shirt up, “take this shit off.” he instructs as he continues his descent, manhandling you a little so you’re now laying with your head against his pillows. The fabric smells like him, and for some reason, you groan at the beauty in being surrounded by Haechan. 

The competitive frat boy’s lips leave little kisses on your abdomen and his hands get your pants the rest of the way down while you remove your shirt. Haechan settles between your legs, fingers smoothing over your skin, “so soft.” he coos, teeth nipping at the sensitive flesh of your inner thigh. “Tell me you want me.”

“Are you serious?” you almost laugh, only to earn a rougher bite from Haechan, who suckles on your skin after to sooth it, a non verbal confirmation that he is, in fact, being serious. “Fuck, Haechan I want you.”

“How bad?” his breath ghosts over your entrance as he moves to your opposite thigh, and you nearly groan at having been anticipating his lips only to fall short. You lift your head to look down at him as he pulls his hoodie off, revealing pretty shoulders that are shockingly broad.

“Really bad, Haechan please, I need you-”

Your words seem to be enough this time, because Haechan’s tongue finds your clit a moment later. He flicks at it, making your legs shake, before he fully places his mouth on you, lapping at all you have to offer. 

You reach down to grab at his hair, loving the way the soft strands feel. Haechan groans at the pain on his scalp when you tug lightly, and the vibration runs through your entire body, your own whimper echoing the sound.

Haechan is practically devouring you with his mouth, and his hands move to grip your thighs, fingers digging into your skin. His lips suction around your clit and your back arches off the bed. You’re still sensitive from your first orgasm, and your legs are already trembling on either side of Haechan’s head. 

“Haechan-” you pull on his hair to try to get him away, not wanting to cum so quickly- but Haechan has other plans. He doesn’t seem to mind you tugging at his hair, in fact, if anything, you notice that his tongue applies even more pressure to your entrance. Each flick, each sinful slurp, gets you closer and closer to another orgasm until it’s crashing into you with as much ferocity as the first.

His warm hand flattens on your abdomen to keep you still as he works you through your orgasm until your throat feels raw from moaning and your whole body is wrapped in a wonderful afterglow, chest heaving as you try to get your breathing back to normal. 

Haechan begins kissing up your body, lips tickling your tummy and making you giggle. You can feel him smiling against your skin, and then he’s pulling your bra away from your skin and watching it smack back down, a mischievous glint in his eyes when you look down at him ready to fight due to the slight pain. “Take this off.” Haechan says, now kissing the swell of your breasts pushed up by your bra.

“Do it for me.”

Haechan sighs loudly but, as is the case with everything, he’ll accept your challenge.

“One handed.” you smirk.

“You think I can’t take off your bra with one hand kitten?” he narrows his eyes at you, “if I can, do I win?”

“Yes, and then as a reward I’ll fuck the shit out of you.” you moan when his lips move to your neck, suckling the spot that sends shivers through your body, your fingers clawing at his shoulders. 

Haechan laughs, one hand snaking under your body to unlatch your bra. The moment the tension goes slack and your bra is undone, you shake your head, of course he’d make it look easy as fuck on top of being able to do it with one hand. 

He slips your bra off, lips once again moving down. He sucks on your nipple softly at first, but then his teeth graze your skin and you moan, hips buckling up, searching for friction or pressure or something-

“Haechan-” you moan, reaching down between your bodies to try to grab his cock through his pants.

The man sucking on your nipples ignores you, caught up in the feeling of your boobs. Haechan’s always been a boob man, well… he likes ass too, in fact, Haechan’s just a ladies man in general. He worships the female form, and having his face squished up to your breasts is throwing him into overdrive, his mind nothing but a lusty haze. 

All those times he wanted you to cover up at parties and bars- it’s not because he didn’t want to see you, he just wanted to be the only one seeing you, and now he is. 

Haechan groans and you note the way he grinds his hips down against the bed. the visual is so hot, and if you weren’t so pent up, you think you might enjoy watching him just grind against the bed forever. 

You’ve had enough of his teasing, now it’s your turn. You push at Haechan’s shoulders roughly, and Haechan immediately gives you space, eyes looking up at you questioningly. You push him again and Haechan allows you to get him onto his back, a smile forming on his lips when you swing your leg over his waist so you can straddle him. Now you’re the one on top, and Haechan’s view has never been this good in his entire life.

His hands find your waist, eyes glued to your tits as you look down at his form. 

You have to admit he’s gorgeous. You think you’ve always been aware of his beauty, but you’ve had this thing where you’ve been so competitive with him that it’s been easy to ignore. Sometimes you still view him as that pudgy faced kid who would fight you over everything in highschool, but the man under you is not the boy you grew up to hate. The man under you is all chiseled angles, and his beautiful dark eyes draw you in like nothing else. 

It’s as if you’re seeing each other for the first time. There’s no witty back and forth, no thoughts of competition. No, it’s just you and him, suspended in a moment of quiet and primal pleasure. 

Your eyes travel to the beautiful column of his throat, and you decide the skin there has to be peppered in love bites. You lean down, and Haechan sucks in a breath when you grab his jaw, forcing his head to the side to give you better access. His fingers dig into your hips, “don’t forget who’s in charge.” he growls from under you, his hands forcing you to grind down on his length, which is still hidden from you by his jeans. 

“I’m in charge now baby boy.” you smirk, suckling on the skin of his neck.

Haechan lets out a groan, his eyes closing as the pleasure of the pet name washes over him. Baby Boy isn’t so bad actually, it’s better than ‘baby face’. His skin tingles with the newfound discovery that he actually kind of enjoys you being dominant with him, or at least challenging him like this. No other girl ever has, usually they just submit to him and be pillow princesses- but you? You’re something else, and maybe the fire in you is something he’s always been addicted to, without even consciously knowing it.

Haechan allows himself to relax a little, giving up control to you as your lips trail down to his collarbones. Your hands brush by the soft ticklish flesh of his abdomen and Haechan jerks under you, making you both burst into giggles. You continue pressing kisses to his skin as your hands undo his jeans.

Haechan lifts his hips and helps you wiggle his pants down, but he leaves his briefs on. Yes, you’re down there, but what if you’re not really ready to blow him? He doesn’t want to just whip his dick out-

You shove his briefs down. 

Haechan’s cock smacks up against his abdomen, and you lick your lips at the way the head of his cock glistens with precum. He’s a decent length, but what really catches you is his thickness. He’s big, and the vein that runs up the underside of his cock draws you in for some odd reason. You grab the shaft and position yourself over his cock, kitten licking the head and earning a groan from the man above you. “Feel good?” you smirk, repeating the action.

“Fuck, yes.” one of Haechan’s hands snakes down to your hair, he gets a grip but doesn’t apply pressure, doesn’t coax you to sink your mouth down on his cock. You don’t need any persuasion though, licking your lips one last time before you wrap your mouth around Haechan’s girthy cock, fitting as much as you can. 

Haechan moans above you, fingers flexing in your hair. His head falls back into the pillows, eyes clenched as he enjoys the feeling of your mouth smoothing up and down his cock.

“So good kitten,” he groans, hips jumping slightly, cock hitting the back of your throat and making you choke a little, “fuck, just like that- you weren’t kidding at Trivia Night when you said you could lick the tip then throat the dick-”

You work your mouth up and down faster, trying not to laugh or gloat, one of your hands wrapping around the base of his cock where you can’t reach. This better be the best fucking blow job he’s ever had, or you don’t win. You focus more on the head of his cock while your fist pumps his long shaft, using your saliva as lubrication as you twist your hand in a repetitive motion that has Haechan nearly cumming on the spot, “holy fuck-” his eyes snap open and he looks down at you, which is not the best idea, seeing as the visual of you worshiping him- he can feel his orgasm building in the base of his cock, and he’ll be damned if he cums from a fucking blow job.

“Fuck, enough of your mouth,” Haechan pushes your head away.

“I’m in charge.” you pout, looking up at him with a challenge in your eyes as your hand continues to pump him up and down.

“Not anymore.” Haechan smacks your hand away, and within moments, he has you pinned under him again, lips aggressive against yours. His tongue invades your mouth, and you feel something against your entrance- only to let out a disappointed moan when it’s just his fingers again. “Quit whining, I need to stretch you out.” he growls against your lips, opening his eyes to look at you.

He needs to stretch you out. He’s that big. You nearly salivate at the information, pouting up at Haechan, “I need you now.” you whimper, legs tightening around his waist. 

“Then get ready to scream for me kitten.” Haechan presses his lips to yours again. You can feel the head of his cock at your entrance, and you smile because you’ve won- and then he starts pushing into you and your nails dig into his shoulder blades at the stretch. 

“Fuck- Haechan!” you gasp as he peppers your face with kisses, smirking against your skin.

“Told you.” he says, sliding into you inch by inch, “fuck, you’re so warm and wet-”

He’s fully sheathed in you now, and his breath fans over your neck and face, his kisses softer now as he allows your body to get used to his size. He also just needs a breather, because your blow job got him closer to cumming that he’ll care to admit. The feeling of your walls fluttering around him is cute and he enjoys watching your face, eyes meeting yours every once in a while just to check and make sure you’re okay.

“Haechan, fuck me.” you groan once your body has adjusted to the size of his cock.

He doesn’t need to be told twice.

Haechan’s hips move fluidly, his cock sliding almost all the way out of your core, only to slip back in, refilling the emptiness he’d left in his wake. A moan leaves your lips, your eyes closing as the pleasure engulfs you. Your fingers find Haechan’s soft hair and a small tug makes the man holding you let out a whimper of his own, hips thrusting even harder.

There’s no need for talking, and even if he was to say something, you’re not sure it would even register in your mind. You’re so overwhelmed by the feeling of him, by the sweet taste of his lips, the soft warmth of his beautiful skin, and the smell of his cologne. 

You’re aware of Haechan moving one of your hands, but you don’t open your eyes until his fingers lace with yours and your hand becomes pinned down to the pillow by your head. Haechan is looking down at you, and this close, you can see the rich chocolate browns hidden in the dark depths of his irises. Blue eyes get a lot of love, but you can’t imagine finding anything more beautiful than the soft richness of Haechan’s eyes.  

His gaze dips to your lips and you do the same, a flare of envy running through your body when you notice how fucking perfect his mouth is, lips all swollen from kissing- 

You press your mouth to Haechan’s, suckling on his lower lip and earning a groan from the man who is literally fucking you silly. 

You can feel your orgasm rising in the pit of your stomach, and your muscles cry out from the fact that you’re about to cum for a third time in such a short period. You can’t remember the last time a man made you feel this good-

A whimper leaves your lips when Haechan slips his hand between your bodies, finding your clit again. Your hips thrust up, legs tightening around Haechan, “fuck- Haechan- cum for me-”

He growls against your lips. Usually he’s the one commanding that his partner cums, but to hear those words coming from your mouth- a shiver runs the entire length of his body, his fingers squeezing yours where he still has your hand captured as it’s prisoner. 

“Please-” you whine again when he rubs your clit faster.

He can feel your walls tightening around his cock, betraying how close you are, and he knows the moment you cum, you’ll drag him over too, so his goal is entirely on your own pleasure.

His lips move to your neck and he finds that spot again- you’re pretty sure he’s marked it- how else would he be able to find it so easily every time? All you can do is hold on tightly to Haechan as he throws your body into overdrive. 

Your grip on his shoulders anchors you a little, and you begin to move your own hips to meet his- something no one’s ever done with Haechan before. The motion takes him back a little, but fuck, it’s so fucking sexy- 

“Cum for me baby boy-” you whisper into his ear, and the moan that leaves Haechan’s lips is so sinful and sexy that it triggers your orgasm.

Your pussy clamps down on Haechan’s thick cock, and he swears he’s in heaven You were tight enough as it was, but now that you’re cumming? Haechan cum’s hard, his hips continuing their assault even as you both moan, lips reconnecting so your tongues and teeth can clash, eating each other's sounds as you both nearly vibrate with pleasure. 

You’re not sure how long you both ride out your orgasms, only that your bodies are both sweaty and exhausted as Haechan’s hips finally begin to slow down. You try to catch your breath even while kissing. His cock stays buried in you while you make out, and when you move your fingers to Haechan’s hair, intent on tugging, he pulls away finally, “if you tug my hair, I’ll have to fuck you again.” he warns you.

You smirk, “sounds like a challenge.”

“Where are Y/N and Haechan?” Mark asks as he arrives at trivia night, shocked to see neither of the tables regular team leaders are present. In fact, the whole set up is a little odd, both tables firmly pushed together, with members of the frats and sororities more intermixed than Mark is used to.

“We told them trivia night was canceled.” Jaehyun answers from where he’s sitting with his arm around Jenni.

“What? Why?” Mark pulls out his phone, ready to text Haechan to come-

“So they could get laid.” Johnny says, coming to stand next to Mark as he hands out drinks to people, “if you tell Haechan we did trivia night without them I’ll break into your room at night and shave off your eyebrows.”

Mark swallows thickly, knowing that Johnny will for sure follow through with his threat. One time Lucas had pissed Johnny off after a particularly tense game of basketball and that night Johnny had held him down and taken a razor to his brows. Johnny had been nice and just given him two slits, which, honestly, had looked pretty good- but Mark isn’t willing to risk Johnny deciding to go full evil.

“Wait is this why Taeyong sent that message out that said the frat is supposed to be mostly empty today?” Mark looks around.

“Mostly? What do you mean mostly? We told everyone but Haechan that the frat had to be empty because it ‘smelt like there might be a gas leak and someone’s coming to check it out’.” Taeyong leans forward with concern.

“Yeah but… but Yuta’s at the frat right now.” Mark says.

“He’s WHAT?!” multiple men whip out their phones to check their group chats for any messages from Yuta. The group had been studying in the library all day and ignoring their phones.

“Yeah, this morning he said,” Mark reads out the text he received from Yuta before their 10am lecture, “‘i’m skipping classes today, fuck a bad smell, a bad smell can’t kill me, i’m a bad bitch’.” 

Mark taps on the group chat, which has come alive since he sat down.

5:13

Yuta: fuck Haechan and Y/N are fighting again

Yuta: wait… they’re not fighting

Yuta: YO HAECHAN’S GETTING LAID 

7:58

Taeyong: WE TOLD YOU TO LEAVE THE FRAT

Yuta: YOU SAID THERE WAS A GAS LEAK YOU NEVER SAID I HAD TO LEAVE

Jae: are u still at the frat????

Yuta: maybe

Johnny: have you just been LISTENING TO THEM FUCK THIS WHOLE TIME????

Yuta: maaaaybe

Taeyong:......

Johnny: you fucking dirty psycho

Mark: ooooop

Lucas: are they being loud?

Doyoung: LUCAS!

Kun: LUCAS!!!!!

Taeyong: LUCAS

Yuta: SO fucking loud

After spending most of the day with Haechan on Tuesday, the two of you continued your competitive gaming through various apps on your phone. You knew there would be a party at NCT House on Friday, and as each day passed by, you waited for Haechan to invite you. 

You walk into the frat party with Jenni, having not received a specific invite from the boy you’d fucked three days prior. To say you’re on a warpath is an understatement. 

“I swear to god if that dude kisses someone else in front of me-” you say as you and Jenni head to get drinks.

“Y/N calm down, A, he’s not your boyfriend, and B, he wouldn’t do that.” Jenni sighs.

“Oh yeah, because your intel from Jaehyun is always one hundred percent reliable.” you scoff.

“Did someone already spit in your drink?” Haechan’s voice comes from over your shoulder, an arm sliding around your waist as he takes his place next to you. “Or is this just your normal resting bitch face?”

You turn to look at the man who’s joined you, glaring, “no one spat in my drink.”

“Well maybe I should fix that,” Haechan leans in, his lips ghosting over your ear as his tone lowers, “are you into spitting, kitten?”

You groan and laugh, pushing at Haechan, who remains firmly glued to your side.

“She’s mad you didn’t invite her to the party.” Jenni says, eyes looking around for Jaehyun, but her smile tells you this is a calculated mischievous plan. Traitor.

“I didn’t realize I had to invite you,” Haechan’s brows furrow a little in confusion, his body angling towards you more so he can face you, hands finding your hips.

“You didn’t have to invite me.” you groan.

“Kitten, you’re a bad bitch, you walk into every frat like you own the place.” Haechan says, “you never need my permission to show up here,” his hand dips lower, grabbing at your ass, “you should know you’re welcome any time.”

His words are nice, and they melt you a little, but you still have a bone to pick with him. “It would be nice to be invited though.” 

“In that case,” Haechan’s face is close to yours, lips nearly ghosting over your own, “would you like to come play beer pong with me, and after we kick Taeil and Yuta’s ass, you’re invited to come to my room and get your brains fucked out again.”

You laugh as you look up at the man you wasted so many years hating, “Baby Face, that sounds perfect.”

Thank you so much for reading! oof, this frat univese- it’s my baby

What Roblox Games I Think The Brothers Will Play?

Yes I was playing roblox when I got the idea. Thought this would be neat/quick to do. Enjoy :).

Lucifer

- Me play a silly game like that? Why would I of all demons want to play that?

- He typically plays games that involve working and being a manager. Anything that does not allow him to take charge he finds boring.

- Sometimes plays trivia kinds of games only to flex his knowledge. Or poke fun at those who get easy answers wrong.

Mammon

- Plays fashion games since they remind him of modeling. People don't really like him/give him lots of votes cause he always pulls the "I am better dressed than all of you" And comes off a little to confident.

- One time actually won a round and came first place. Just before another user "QueenAsmo" who was not happy about him winning.

- "Weird- how come Asmodeus is givin' me the silent treatment?"

- Other than that he plays parkour obbys. Or whatever the other brothers want to play with him. Hates playing with Levi since it ends up being a horror game.

Leviathan

- Has played almost all the games on Roblox. But really likes those aesthetic school games that have the same layout as a japanese/korean school does.

- He also likes the games that are based off of anime.

- Does sometimes play shooting games. And has earned a lot of cred since he is such a good strategist when he wants to be.(Skills he mastered as a ex-general possibly.) Either way he is happy that some peeps respect him.

- Enjoys playing horror games especially with Mammon. Just to watch him freak out and run out the room.

- May or may not have a few clips of that happening.

Satan

- Like games that involve sorting or knowledge as well.

- He does not play that much but when he does it is often trivia games.

- Really like that one library game "teaful's library"

- Other than that gaming is not his favorite past time.

- Went head to head with Lucifer in a trivia game. (It was a tie😤🙄)

Asmodeus

- Love Roblox since it has a lot of RP and dress up games. And sometimes even get Solomon to play with him.

- "I will be the mom obviously😊✨", "I look so pretty!!😍", "Why is there a person barking in chat?😟"

- He is a master and OG at Royale high and Fashion famous.

- Also likes playing pet/family rp games. "I can have a whole cute house. And take care of a animal without dealing with the gross stuff."

- Over all can be a very sweet/nice person to play with. (Unless your user name is MoneyMon. He is still bitter about losing to someone with a untasteful demeanor.)

Beelzebub

- Also not one to play video games. But he decided to try since he saw Belphie playing a few interesting games.

- Would probably play weight lifting simulator. As well as different food themed games.

- Really likes doing tycoons with Belphie.

- Once joined a server that Lucifer was also in. Lucifer made him assistant manager. Ofc though Lucifer did not know it was Beel off the bat though. Until Beel brought it up.

- Now secretly plays roblox with Lucifer as well. Typically as second in command.

- Tried making his own game but decided to give up mid way. Not the most creative with it.

Belephegor

- He really likes playing tycoons. Mostly cause he can just start up whatever machine needs to be started up. And have it make money for him as he sleeps. Requires little effort.

- He also likes playing games with Beel if he is bored. Any game that requires too much effort or extra work. He doesn't like it.

- once sabotaged one of Lucifer's shop and team members on one game.

- now that he enjoyed.

- other than that he does not really play games

- Although he does not like playing them he actually secretly enjoys making them. (With the help of Levi on occasion)

- it takes a lot longer though than most expect but his audience likes the games cause all that time he puts into it. The games he makes are pretty casual but fun.

- Made games inspired by carnivals, the celestial realm, and devildom. He tried making games inspired by the human world but he noticed they don't gain as much traction. But also cause it's been a while since he last been to the human realm.

Kurobe Memo: “During the Niou and Atobe match, he was quite prideful about being a First Stringer and flaunted it to the middle schoolers. He’s still just a first year in high school, so it’ll be exciting to see how he improves. I wonder if he has the persistence for victory promoted by the ‘invincible teachings’ of Rikkai. Should he be paired with various players to learn the value of winning?”
