。・:*:・゚ᰔ 𝓑𝓤𝓝𝓖𝓞 𝓢𝓣𝓡𝓐𝓨 𝓓𝓞𝓖𝓢 — WHEN THEY HURT YOUR FEELINGS
notes — i wrote this for myself & my fellow sensitive bbs :'))
warnings — kinda insecure reader in some, pretty suggestive, a little angst but all with happy endings !!
DAZAI — it hurts your feelings when one of dazai's ex-flings walks up to your table one night when you two are having dinner at your favorite restaurant, "ah- funny seeing you here, osamu. who's the lucky lady?" you glance up when you hear her call him by his first name, and the blood instantly drains from your face—she's absolutely gorgeous. it's clear dazai is only being polite as he offers a bit of small talk before his ex leaves, but she wasn't exactly friendly towards you, and that makes you a little nervous. you ask him about her on the way home, but he doesn't offer much information—"it was just a casual thing, nothing serious, i'm sure she understands." he wraps his arm around your waist tighter, protecting you from the chilly air with his coat wrapped around you, and you start to wonder, what makes you so special that he kept you around? will he grow tired of you as well? you voice your concerns that night before bed, speaking lowly as you're fluffing the pillows, "osamu, what is it you like about me?" he looks offended at that, "darling! what do you mean? i love everything about my sweet angel," he circles the bed, but you step back a little. "stop it, 'samu, i'm not special, why did you pick me?" he looks hurt, but smiles after a moment, pulling you in so he can cradle your face, "i wasn't as awful as you might think, love, i've been a true gentleman to everyone i've dated. and anyways, i didn't choose you, my heart did—i've been yours since the moment we met, i don't know how else to explain it, darling."
CHUUYA — chuuya is always very careful not to hurt your feelings, he's a gentleman in all things, putting your happiness before his own and making sure you feel safe and wanted. truthfully, he's the best boyfriend you could ever ask for, and most times, you're just downright spoiled. however, his work does take up a lot of his time, and though you've assured him you understand, sometimes, you do feel a little lonely. there are a few nights in a row he comes home without kissing you as he walks in, and he simply goes to bed while you're still on the couch watching tv without so much as an "i love you" first. you're really hurt, but you don't want to come off as needy—chuuya already has a lot to deal with at work, so you simply brush it aside. however, after a few more nights of the same thing, you crack. "chuuya?" you whisper as you peek your head into the bedroom. "mmh- yeah?" his voice is sleepy, and you feel a little bad for waking him, but you need to talk this through. "can we talk?" he sits up at that, turning on the beside lamp, "something wrong, princess?" you run your fingers through his hair before speaking, "chu," you sigh, "it really hurts my feelings when you go to bed without so much as a 'goodnight' or even a kiss, am i getting on your nerves lately or something?" his eyes widen, and he pulls you in, crushing you to him as he kisses your hair, "no- no, no, no, no. of course not. i've just been busy, angel, i'm so sorry. i'll call off work tomorrow, we'll spend the whole day together, yeah?" you smile and climb on top of him, "hmm, well, i think we should stay up all night tonight, then, what do you think?"
SIGMA — sigma absolutely hates the idea of hurting your feelings, it's almost like a foreign concept to him. he can't imagine doing anything to hurt you when his greatest goal in life is to simply keep you around for as long as possible, to love you and make you smile every single day—he's still searching for himself, and he wants to do it with you by his side. you just make him feel so warm and happy, he never wants to lose that. however, when you walk up to him one night on the casino floor, he's talking and laughing with a very beautiful woman, and it stings a little—you eye her hand as she slides it down his arm, clearly aiming to grab at his hand before his eyes dart over to you and he pulls away. "babe! what a surprise, i'm so happy to see you!" you don't answer, only eyeing the woman before she scoffs and walks away. "sigma, love, who was that?" you're trying not to let jealousy get the best of you—it's such an ugly feeling, after all. "huh? oh, just a customer. it's her first time here, she just wanted to tell me how much she likes the casino!" sigma really has no idea how beautiful he is, but his humble nature is just one thing you adore about him. he frowns when you don't answer, only watching the woman as she walks away. "babe? something wrong?" he panics a little, but the taste of your lips soothes him when you pull him in for a kiss that's probably much too passionate for others to be seeing. you hum as you pull away, "nothing at all, you just look gorgeous today, i needed a kiss."
FUKUZAWA — fukuzawa actually hurts your feelings a lot, sadly, but he's got the kindest heart in the world, so you never hold it against him for long. he's simply very blunt, so it's easy for you to feel a little dismissed sometimes. in particular, you bring him lunch at work one day, after spending literally hours on a tiny bento containing all of his favorites fashioned in an intricate design. you're so proud of your work, admiring the little details and garnishes that made it entirely worth all of the sweat (and a few tears), you even made his favorite hōjicha tea to bring with it! however, when you reach the floor of his agency and peek your head into his private office, you realize he has company, and whatever meeting he's having looks quite important. "ah, i'm sorry, y/n, you'll have to come back later." he attempts to close the door on you, but your words stop him, "oh! no, that's fine- i just wanted to bring y-" he cuts you off, "whatever it is, we can talk later, y/n. i'm busy right now." he shuts the door before you can respond, and you've never felt more embarrassed. you wander into the ada's main room before setting the lunch on dazai's desk, "dazai-san, could you eat this? i worked really hard on it, i just want someone to enjoy it," your voice breaks as you walk away. when fukuzawa arrives home later that night, he has the empty bentos in his hand, placing them on the table before approaching you on the couch, but you put a hand out to stop him, "just- don't, yukichi." he ignores your words, dropping to his knees and resting his head in your lap, "my angel, please forgive me, i was meeting with the council. let me make you dinner? lunch was excellent, truly, and it was the best tea i've ever tasted."
AKUTAGAWA — ok, akutagawa is a little clueless, so you give him a lot of leeway, but there are just some things he says and does that can't be erased, and that's especially true when he snaps at you one night, "i just want to be alone for a few minutes! is that too much to ask?" you'd followed him into the bedroom when he got home from work, making grabby hands at him, "ryuuuu," you whined, "where are my kisses?" you simply wanted to spend time with him, but now that he's yelled at you, all you want is to be as far away from him as possible. you sleep on the couch that night, even after he's begged you to come to bed, and eventually, you wake up to him sleeping on the floor next to you, not even covered in a blanket, but simply resting his head in the crook of his arm. he doesn't look comfortable at all, and your heart aches a little when he stirs, "babe? you're awake already?" "ryu, how long've you been there?" "i don't know, maybe a few hours? i couldn't sleep without you," he states nonchalantly, not even a hint of shame in his voice. you sigh, tugging on his arm, "come here, do you remember what you said to me?" he frowns, "yes, and i'm deeply sorry, i had a long day at work. i never want to hurt you, i'm just. . ." he looks down at his hands, "i'm still learning. but trust me when i say this, taking space from you is the last thing i want. coming home to you is the best part of my day."

The Ends Justify The Means
As always, this February story is dedicated to my valentine, @mergeman
"Okay, but did we have to add him to the Hivemind?" Jordan said, looking at his unconscious boss with a look of resigned disappointment. "If I end up with an old man's vocabulary because of him, I'm gonna be so upset. This body looks too good to sound like a geezer." He tossed his shirt to the ground and gave me a flex. "See what I mean?"
I couldn't help but roll my eyes. Some humans stress-tested my 40% Free Will rule, and Jordan was definitely one of them. "One, bringing him into the Collective is the only way to bend his authority to our will. Two, the symbiote doesn't change our speech, it just enhances our knowledge. And three, the eventual goal is to overtake most of humanity anyway. We were gonna have to add Shaun sooner or later."
Jordan nodded, though I doubted he was paying any attention me. He was one of the part-time workers I had converted within the past two hours, and so his symbiote half was still checking out his new body. I can't blame it, I suppose.
Tumblr media
I wasn't sure this plan was even going to work, so I was glad we managed to succeed. Capturing the part-time college students who worked here had been easy-- a bit of flirting from a tempting body, a kiss to introduce the symbiote, rinse and repeat. Shaun had been much more difficult. We had to resort to ambushing him in the bathroom where there we no cameras. Jordan's strength held him in place while I pried open his jaw to insert the new symbiote. It was far from elegant-- Shaun was stronger than he looked-- but at least it worked.
Shaun finally opened his eyes, and looked at me with a wry grin. "Alright, sir. I know we have a lot to talk about, but let's retreat somewhere else, shall we? It's cramped in here, and I think Jordan is a few moments away from whipping his dick out."
"You're not wrong," I said, shaking my head. "We should probably leave him to it. If nothing else, it will be nice to talk things over someplace a bit... less pungent. I assume you know what is going to be expected of you?"
Tumblr media
"I do," Shaun says, crossing his arms. "Although I was hoping to talk to you about that one. I scheduled Darren to work Valentine's Day because I haven't had that day off for the past three years. This body's wife is threatening to make life miserable if I still have to work the holiday despite my recent promotion. I have a proposal for you."
I smiled at the audacity of this symbiote. Clearly its host body had a lot of confidence.
"Darren will still get the day off, of course," Shaun said. "But instead of working the day myself, I'll just tell Jenn that she's going to have to handle the shift solo. We don't need two store managers tomorrow night-- no one goes furniture shopping on Valentine's."
----------------------------------------------
"You'll never guess what happened today!" Darren said, greeting me when I arrived home. He and I had been dating for a few weeks now, ever since I was granted control over this host body. Unlike the symbiotes who were mostly extensions of my mind and my personality, I had full control and full autonomy over my decisions. Coming out of the closet was one of the first changes I made to this host's former life.
Tumblr media
"Your store is actually closing for a holiday?" I guessed, walking up to him and hugging him from behind. I held him close, feeling the heat of his body against my borrowed chest. Humans were very big on physical contact, and it was a ritual I was more than happy to join.
Darren chuckled as he turned around for a quick kiss. "Okay, so it wasn't a miracle. But it was still pretty crazy! Shaun texted me, and approved my vacation time for tomorrow. Can you believe that? I've never known him to change his mind like that before."
I just smiled at him. "Maybe your District Manager yelled at him about it? You did submit that request a few months ago." As much as I hated feeding white lies and omitted facts to my boyfriend, I couldn't justify telling him my full truth this early in the relationship. Anyway, the only way I'd be filling him with a symbiote would be if we broke up and he posed a risk to my secret. I wanted a relationship with an equal, not a masturbatory fling with a clone of myself. Anyway, what was the phrase? The ends justify the means.
"Well, maybe." He paused a few minutes to consider this possibility before shrugging his shoulders. "I don't know, and I'm not going to question it. I'm just glad you kept those dinner reservations! I'm looking forward to tomorrow's date!" He smiled, and I could feel my heart melting. I would do anything in my power to make him happy.

The Switch
Miles Fairchild x fem!reader
Chapter nine: Make you stay.
--------------------------------
Miles pov
I think it's been one- no. Two weeks, since Y/n had that.. encounter? It's not like we had sex or anything but I definitely didn't expect to make out on her bed until Flora came banging on her door complaining about a nightmare, while Y/n forced me to hide under her damn bed on the cold floor for half an hour while she made sure Flora went to sleep and didn't bother us again. I was kinda glad we got interrupted if I'm being honest. Even though Y/n pounced on me like a lion to a gazelle, she seemed pretty nervous whenever I kissed her too hard or if I touched her leg. Believe it or not things have been even more awkward than before when we were constantly nipping at each other and now I'm starting to miss the fighting more than the dry tension in the room.
Anyways, I've got about fourteen days to make things less awkward and for her to stay with us for the summer. I heard her talking on the phone a few days back, thinking about taking up a different job in California. Her teacher recommended it or some shit, get into a better college. She's not going to Harvard I know that for sure.
Something that's been pissing me off is that Quint has been messing with her head so now she sleeps with the door off and the lamp lights on. I asked him to lay off but it's not doing much. I've been trying to sneak in to make sure he's not fucking with her in her sleep or anything. She's only sixteen like me after all, he shouldn't be messing with kids our age, especially the ones I want to stay.
Uhm, another thing is that I've been out of it for a day or two. Like my throat is pretty dry and I've had a wicked headache. I swear to god if I wake up tomorrow with a cold I'm gonna be pissed.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Your pov
It's been about two weeks since Miles and I had that half-assed hookup. Ever since then it's been so awkward. We can't even speak to each other now for more than two sentences before getting freaked out and forgetting what we were talking about. I mean, it's easier to focus on Flora and her work, but at the same time it's boring without being able to pick a fight with Miles. I miss our back and forth bickering because at least it kept us talking and occupied. I have fifteen days before I go back home for the summer, I really wanted to stay but I've gotten more job offerings in new places and I want to go out and explore. Plus, spending the summer in some creepy ass house, with a boy who can't even be in the same room as me for five minutes doesn't seem like the ideal summer. I feel bad for leaving Flora, and I guess Miles because they are all alone with Ms. Grose, who is lucky if she can live another four years. But I need to put myself first, that's what's important. I just wish Miles would talk to me before I leave, because even though we snap at each other, he's been growing on me. I'm not saying I like his stuck up asshole personality but I see how he is with Flora and I sometimes wish he could be able to open up to me like that.
This morning I woke up to the sound of projectile vomiting. I figured it was coming from Flora's room since she ate a lot of chocolate last night. I ran to her room to check on her to find her still asleep in her bed. Then I realized that the puking and groaning was coming from Miles room. I debated on leaving him there to take care of himself since he thinks he's grown and can take care of himself but then I remembered the time I was drunk. The way he drove me home at 2am and stayed outside my door all night in case I felt sick again. I walked into his room and knocked on his closed bathroom door.
"Miles, it's just me. I'm gonna come in okay?" I say as I hear him groan and spit into the toilet. I open the door to see his face almost glued to the toilet bowl, gasping and throwing up. I sit next to him and rub his back, grabbing a few sheets of toilet paper so he can wipe his mouth when he's done. "Get it all out, that's it.." I whisper to him as he continues to gag.
When he finishes he grabs the toilet paper from my hand and wipes his mouth, flushing the toilet. I let him sit on the floor with his back pressed against the wall for a moment as I grab a washcloth, drenching it in cold water. I put it on the back of his neck as he tries to stand up. He walks over to me where I'm putting toothpaste on his toothbrush and handing it to him.
"Make sure to brush your tongue too." I put the cap back on his toothpaste. "I'm gonna get you a new shirt, there's a little bit of puke on it." I point to the spot on his shirt. I walk out of his room and open his closet, looking for an old shirt in the piles on the floor. Miles walks back into the room and curls up on his mattress with his washcloth in his hands. I didn't even realize he came back into the room until he spoke up and groaned.
"Jesus it's fucking freezing in here.." I turned around to see him shirtless, breathing heavily and laying down. I grab a random green shirt and walk over to his mattress.
"No Miles, sit up you have to let your stomach settle for a bit." I prop his pillows against the wall and help him sit up a bit. I let him put his new shirt on and pulled the covers up to his waist. I felt his forehead and winced at his temperature. "Miles, you're really hot." I sighed and bit my bottom lip trying to think of how to take care of him.
He let out a chuckle and wrapped a hand over his stomach. "I'm hot? Thanks.." I frown at him since this isn't something to be joking about. "Not funny." I say with pursed lips and put the washcloth on his forehead.
"I'm gonna go to the store to get you some medicine. Flora used it the last time she was sick. Do you want me to pick you up something?" I put my hands on my hips and waited for his response.
He sat there for a second to think, "Am I even allowed to eat anything? Like I'm pretty sure you're not supposed to eat when you're sick." He tilted his head, squinting his eyes.
"You're allowed to eat Miles but only if you feel up for it. I can pick you up some grits, or popsicles? Do you sound up for that when you get your appetite back?" I rub the back of my neck, giving him a sympathetic look.
"I'm not hungry..I-I don't care okay? I'll be fine by tomorrow." He shakes his head and waves his hand in the air.
"Okay, well I'm still going to the store because I'm not putting up with your whining later. I'll be back in an hour okay?" I shrug and ruffle his hair lightly before trying to smack my hands away.
I brush my teeth, grab my keys and put on some slippers. I head out to the car to start for the store.
--------------------------------
Miles pov
She couldn't have taken any fucking longer to get back from the store could she? I'm sitting in my bed, trying my best for an hour to hold my stomach until she comes back but it's getting too painful. I ran to the bathroom throwing up nothing but stomach acid. I was panting and almost crying from the pain, it felt like my stomach was twisting. Y/n hears me gagging and rushes into the bathroom to rub my back and hold back my hair. When I'm done, there's tears in my eyes from the pain and she gives me this stupid sad look like she feels sorry for me or some dumb shit. I sit on my bathroom counter as she hands me my toothbrush again. She opens up a small can of Gingerale and puts it on my nightstand.
"You don't have to drink it now, but if your stomach feels funny again try some. It works trust me." She smiles and feels my forehead again to see if my fever had gone down a little. I sit there under the covers with my head against the wall as Y/n sits at the end of my mattress reading a book.
"What's that?" I say weakly, motioning to the book. I catch her attention and she smiles. "A book?" She giggles trying to be funny or something.
"Yeah, no shit." I chuckle and she gives me an unamused look. So apparently I'm not allowed to be funny anymore I guess. "What's it about?"
"It's about a prince trying to find his princess through a dream. It's really cute." She gets up to sit next to me on the mattress, showing me the blurb.
"Oh.. fantasy?" I mutter out as a question.
"Yeah, I like fantasy. You don't?" She tilts her head to look at me, tabbing her book before closing it. I shrug, "I mean, it's not bad but I just can't ever get into it."
"Well maybe that's because you haven't read a good one." She smirks, and for a second I feel like we aren't talking about books. I shook my head and stayed silent for a few minutes.
"You know, I usually get sick in the summer." I give her a side glance. I lied, I never get sick. This was the first time in probably a year and a half I've gotten sick. "I mean, who's gonna get me a cold washcloth and rub my back when I'm throwing up?" I smirk at her slightly.
"Ms. Grose?" She jokes and I roll my eyes.
"Be serious Y/n. She's so old I think she's gonna kick the bucket any day now. And when she does that, who's gonna help me take care of Flora? I don't have any parents you know." I sit up more and turn to face her, putting my hands in my lap.
She sighs and turns to face me. "Who said I was leaving?" She gives me a confused look.
"Y/n I heard you on the phone. I mean California seems nice, but is that what you really want?" I give her a dead eyed look and raise a brow.
She studies my face letting out a deep breath, "Miles, you don't even like having me around. We fight all the time, why do you want me around?" She shakes her head and leans back a little bit.
"Come on, Flora will miss you. She'll be upset that you aren't coming back. I mean she really loves you, fuck, she wants you to be her mother! She needs you, Y/n- I-I need you okay? I can't even take care of myself while I'm sick and you expect me to take care of myself, a whole property and a little girl? I mean, jesus, what do I have to do to make you stay?" I spurt out quickly, motioning my hands everywhere with dramatic tones.
She smiles for a moment and grabs my hand, "You just did." She gives me a sincere look, like we finally came to an agreement. I let out a relieved sigh I didn't even know I was holding and she giggled. "Why do we fight so much? Everything would be so much easier if we just listened to each other, you know?" She asks even though she sounds like she already knows her own reason.
"I think you know why I do it.." I look at my red candles I caught her staring at one day in particular when she first came into my room.
She looked at the candles then back at my eyes. "Because you don't know how to treat people?" She barely whispered out. She looked into my eyes for a moment before speaking once more. "I only pick fights with you cause I think you're kinda cute." She admits, leaning back again.
I raise a brow, "You think I'm cute?" I chuckle and she let's go of my hand, she's trying to bite back a smile.
"Yeah, you're cute. So what?" She smirks and we stare at each other. I think we were both waiting for one of us to do something, anything. But no one moved or spoke. After a moment of my silence she got up and put the covers back over my waist. "You should get some rest, it's not good to stay up when you're delirious." She gave me a dejected look and turned off my lamp.
"I'm not delirious." I grab her wrist gently and assure her.
"You're sick, Miles." She gives me a stern tone, and eyes me down to let go of her wrist.
"I know what I'm saying, Y/n." I gulp and give her the smallest smile I could muster and let go of her wrist, laying back into the pillows. She slides a hand on my forehead and it goes into my curls. She kissed my forehead and walked to the door.
"Get some sleep, call me if you need anything okay?" She gave me a sad smile and walked out of the room.
Now she was just confusing me because did she just reject me without either of us talking about dating? I don't think I asked her out but I think I wanted to. I want to I really do, but how the hell am I supposed to do that when she can't take me seriously? I better get over this damn sickness soon.

Muscle Memory (Uni AU P. 12)
tw - abuse, sexual trauma, drinking, slight mention of homophobia
That evening, after all of your friends have dispersed, after getting absolutely nothing done, you end up in Astarion's dorm. You're both sitting on his bed while he does your makeup, which he insisted upon. He complains every time you accidentally move or your eyelids twitch, but you know he doesn't actually care all that much.
"You know, you're the only person I've ever let in here."
You back away from his makeup brush.
"Really?"
"Yeah. Don't really like sharing my space with people. It's one of the only things I have that's truly mine, but I don't mind sharing it with you."
"Are you sure? Because we could always hang out in my dorm, or somewhere else."
"No, really, you're one of the only people I trust to be in here. You don't stick your nose where it doesn't belong, you don't ask too many questions, you just exist here, like I do."
"I mean I'd never just look through your stuff. I feel like that's the bare minimum."
"You'd think so, but it gets to a point in a career like mine where nothing is really yours anymore."
At this point, Astarion has started on your face again, mindlessly talking.
"You said you started at sixteen right? Must've been hard, losing all that control so young."
"Well, I mean I didn't really have a choice. After all, I did get kicked out, and jobs for normal teenagers don't really cover the expenses of someone trying to be an adult already. Besides, I got in with a lot of disgusting agents, people who shouldn't have been involved with someone my age anyways."
"I'm sorry."
"Don't be. Like I said, I did it to myself."
"You were just a kid though."
"Yeah, I guess I was."
The conversation goes silent for a moment as he grabs something else from his cosmetics bag.
"Why did you get kicked out, if you don't mind me asking?"
He raises an eyebrow slightly.
"Hm, no one ever actually asks me that. Then again, I guess I don't really tell anyone."
"I mean you don't have to tell me."
"No, no I don't mind. I came out, that's pretty much it. Funny when you're the star only child until you talk about liking men. I was miserable about it at the time, but I don't really care anymore. Besides, I have far too many other things to concern myself with."
He makes one more pass with a highlight, and then backs up to admire his work.
"There, you look wonderful my darling Tav. Perhaps you'll look more beautiful than all the exotic flowers you'll get to see tonight."
"You're sweet. Thank you, for all of this, for opening up to me. I know it hasn't been all that long, but you really are the best friend I've been looking for."
Astarion goes to respond, but is interrupted by his ringtone going off, interrupting the nice music he had playing. It's Cazador calling, Szarr's first name as he had told you a couple days ago. Apparently he thought his last name would sound better for the brand, and has everyone call him by it at all times, unless you're in his private inner circle. To your surprise, your pale friend declines the call.
"Did you just-"
"Yep. Not letting him ruin my night, I just can't right now. Besides, I have to make sure you're ready for this date."
"You can't-"
"What, just not pick up his call? I guess you're right. I've done it before though, and he'll simply send me some nasty voicemail. I'll get punished for it later I'm sure, but if he didn't do it to me, it would just be one of the other six. Better that I take the brunt of it."
"But why?"
"I've been working with him longest, I'm the most used to it. If I can deal with it, it's better that way. Being the scapegoat, it gives me some small way to protect the rest of them."
"You shouldn't have to though."
"Of course not, none of us should have to, but I'm just playing the hand I got dealt Tav. That's all any of us can do, especially when the house always wins."
"So what will you do, until you have to see him again I mean?"
"Oh, there's a fitting tomorrow morning. In the meantime? I'll probably go find a cheap place to get drunk, have sex with a stranger and try to forget. At least until tomorrow."
You nervously stare at your hands.
"Is that why you had sex with me that night? To forget?"
He looks off into the distance, trying to find that evening in his mind.
"I can't even remember. Maybe? Or maybe I was just scared. It's hard to say. It becomes easy after a while, to just offer up your body to strangers. Easier than other options at least. It's like muscle memory."
He then stands up, and offers you a hand to do the same.
"But anyways, enough about me. You have a suitor to go see, and I think he'll find you just ravishing."
Your eyes meet his, that reddish-brown not fully present with you.
"Just stay safe tonight, okay?"
"Oh darling, as if I'm ever truly safe. I'll try though, since you asked so nicely. Now, go on and get downstairs, or else you'll be late. Don't want to keep the handsome nature man waiting."
You thank him again for helping you get ready, giving him a tender hug, the kind that secretly makes him melt. And soon enough, you're out the door and downstairs, met with Halsin and a box of chocolates.
~~~
Astarion doesn't even have the energy at that point to clean up the scattered cosmetics across his sheets. He almost plays Cazador's voicemail, but instead turns his phone off and leaves it on the nightstand. Just like he said, he finds some bar that won't hurt his wallet too much, and drinks the night away, thinking about the possible strangers he could lose himself in. He tries to justify it, knowing that rolling around in the sheets with someone would make the thoughts go away, give him a break from the constant nagging in his head, but for some reason he just can't do it. In fact, he hasn't been able to force himself to sleep with anyone since that night in the diner parking lot. He'd never admit it, but he's been thinking about what you said that evening, how he was just someone trying to survive. And he secretly hopes you're right, that he hasn't truly tainted his soul, that somewhere deep down there's a good piece of him left. After all, he's pining after someone like you, someone who gave him the benefit of the doubt when he didn't deserve it, someone who is far better than him. At least that's what he believes, that even if he did tell you like Gale suggested, it wouldn't be enough. He wouldn't be enough for you, but maybe this Halsin character could be, and there's no way he'd deprive you of that chance.

a/n; i kinda hate this idk bout u
Tumblr media
entry 1
there was a new student today, his name is y/n.
i already dislike him, he looks like he could annoy the shit out of me.
other than hearing his irritating voice, today was pretty much the usual
────────────────────────
entry 2
it's like life decided to give up on me, instead of the opposite.
looks like my friends befriended the new student behind my back, and only now they inform me.
i wanted to wipe the grin off of his face so bad, what's he gotta smile for?
────────────────────────
entry 3
i passed an exam, feeling good.
then all of a sudden y/n offers me to lunch, which i declined of course.
he had this joyful look on his face before i rejected him, it turned sad after i did.
i kind of felt bad i felt victory from finally wiping the smile off his face. anyways, dori is playing with my face, i got to go
────────────────────────
entry 4
he's been stuck to me like a cat needing it's owner, it's so annoying. even if i try to avoid him, he keeps coming back.
i ranted to my friend, he said i should give y/n a chance, hell to the no. he also said i've been being mean to him for no reason, also bullshit.
oh yes, there's definitely a reason to why i hate him. he's just so im too lazy to think, so goodnight.
────────────────────────
entry 5
i can't get the look on his face off my mind, no matter how hard i try to distract myself. i shouldn't have shouted at him like that, maybe i was being too harsh. it's his fault for being so annoying, he just had to keep pestering me everyday.
anyways, i have to go do my homework and sleep, im early tomorrow.
────────────────────────
entry 6
i couldn't find him all day, there wasn't any sign of him, it felt unusual. where was he?
was it because of yesterday? have i upset him by raising my voice like that?
i have an upcoming exam, i shouldn't overthink the situation. goodbye.
────────────────────────
entry 7
jisung really wanted to get in my nerves and decided to throw a water balloon at me, i got him back though.
y/n, he still hasn't shown up to class. is he really going to miss out on all the lessons like that.
im not worried, i have no business with that idiot. goodnight.
────────────────────────
entry 8
i don't know what else to write for this day other than y/n being back.
he looked down, he didn't even talk to my friends or even anyone in school. he seemed like he didn't have the energy to do anything, he barely passed through class.
i'm starting to think back on what i did to him, it keeps me awake at night.
i'll try to sleep now, goodnight.
────────────────────────
entry 9
i don't know what came over me, but i decided to buy him his favorite drink. i just felt bad, he looked pretty lonely these days. sure he had his friends sitting with him, but he barely joined a conversation and just kept eating.
i still hate him, he shouldn't have high hopes that i'll be nice to him after this. goodnight.
────────────────────────
entry 10
me and felix got into an argument, but we worked it out so it's all good in the end.
for the past days, y/n's starting to get better, he doesn't look as miserable as before. there's a part of me that's glad, but then again, why should i care? i hate his guts, he's not important to me.
────────────────────────
entry 11
felix's brownies are the best, he knows when and how to make them like a professional baker. we sat and ate, talking about things to feel the mood. then the topic was about y/n.
apparently, the reason why y/n was sad wasn't just because of me, he was also stood up on a supposed date. how can anyone ditch an angel like him? who ever y/n's date was, i'll serve a punch to his face. goodnight
────────────────────────
entry 12
today was.. eventful. i figured out who stood up y/n, how could he fall for such playboy looking asshole. honestly, i'm more attractive.
i saw him today, and let's say, i gave him a piece of my mind. no there wasn't any violence, i just hit him in the face. it was light, i don't see why i made mark. it felt good, though.
i ate ice cream and played with my cats, now im off to bed. goodnight
────────────────────────
entry 13
theres something wrong with me, i'll start off to where i just brang myself to sit next to y/n at lunch, then i helped him with his books because he was clumsy enough to trip and fall, all of a sudden i had this light feeling in my chest as i was speaking to him. i'm supposed to hate him, aren't i? he's always annoying me.
do i hate him?
────────────────────────
entry 14
hi hi, its been like a month. you're probably wondering why the long absence. well, to my last entry, i took the time to figure out what i was feeling. and when i did, i couldn't believe myself.
as it was the end of school, students were free to go wherever they want outside the building.
minho wanted to walk home, but something was pulling his heart back from the gate.
it was telling him to wait for a certain someone, they were a bit late for exit today.
you, with your bag, finally walked out of the school building. minho's eyes had caught you as soon as you appeared on the corner of his eyes.
your h/c hair was still what you can call perfect, despite what the horrible school air can do.
minho panicked, not knowing what to do. it would be a month till the two of you saw each other again, and he wouldn't be able to wait any longer.
he shouted, "y/n!" making the called person stop his tracks, turning to face minho.
with a few stutters, minho said what he wanted to say, so that his heart and mind can finally rest, he had finally asked you out.
your face were mixed of emotions, one with shock and joy. you nodded enthusiatically, agreeing to go on a date with him.
all this time, i was too focused on being in denial to realize i fell inlove with him.

Warning Labels ~Nate Macauley~
Tumblr media
summary: getting all types of warnings from her friends about nate macauley, y/n knows she shouldn't be falling for him. but she does anyway, knowing it will most likely end badly.
word count: 2.5k
pairings: nate macauley x reader
warnings: swearing, mention of drugs
a/n: just recently watched One Of Us Is Lying & immediately fell in love with nate. not sure why but i'm glad it happened. this takes place in a world where bronwyn doesn't exist (although i love her)
masterlist
"Who'd you get as your science partner?" Addy set her lunch tray down and looked at her friend.
"I got Nate." y/n sighed. "Has he ever handed in a project in his life?"
"Not since the 7th grade." Jake shook his head and laughed. "You're pretty much screwed if you want a good grade. He hardly comes to school, but when he does, he's usually only here to sell drugs."
"I'll just do the project myself and put his name on it."
"That's not fair. He shouldn't get credit for not doing anything."
"Jake, I've been doing the same thing for you for the last 5 years. Don't tell me it isn't right."
"Okay, fine. Let him believe that he can slack off all the time and still manage to get decent grades while not deserving them." Jake picked up his lunch tray and Addy followed. Cooper looked at y/n and shrugged before following the others out of the cafeteria.
During her free period, y/n decided to go find Nate. Luckily he was in the very first place she looked.
"Nate, we need to talk."
"If this is about our science project, you don't have to worry. Let's come up with a topic and I'll do my fair share of the work."
"Are you serious? You haven't done work on a project since the 7th grade."
"Okay, that's not true. In 7th grade, Jake & I were partners on a project & I actually did a lot of the work but he turned it in on the day I was really sick, so he got all the credit. Ever since then, teachers will put me with the rich kids who usually don't do their own work & they just expect that I won't do any of the work. And then the same situation repeats itself over and over."
"That's not right. You should tell somebody."
"Who is the administration going to believe, huh? The rich kid obviously. To them, I'm nothing but a drug dealer."
"Maybe we can change that. I'm not a rich kid & I won't take credit for any work you do, as long as you actually do something on the project."
"Okay. Meet me at the library in town after school. I have a few topics that I want to discuss." Nate climbed on his bike and took off before y/n could respond. She shook her head and headed back inside for her last class of the day.
After school was over, y/n walked towards the library. She was expecting to be waiting for Nate for a few hours but when the library came into view, she saw Nate sitting on the front steps. When he saw her, he jumped up excitedly.
"I really wasn't expecting you to show up on time."
"Well, I got here a little earlier than planned. I know, it's shocking."
"Very, given your reputation to not show up to things."
"I'm a senior in high school. I think my reputation needs a change." Nate chuckled and looked at y/n. "Let's get started."
Nate & y/n spent 3 hours trying to come up with a good science project that wouldn't take too long but would produce some impressive results. They narrowed their list down to a few and decided that they'd pick one and start it tomorrow.
After the library, Nate gave y/n a ride home on his bike.
"Thanks for the ride." she smiled and climbed off, handing the helmet back to him.
"It was no problem. It's on my way home anyway." Nate put the helmet on the back of his bike and looked back at her. "Thanks for not giving up on working with me for this project."
"We gotta change your reputation, right?" she offered him another smile and turned around. "I'll see you tomorrow, right?"
"Same time, same place?"
"If you're referring to school, then yes. But if you're talking about the library, I'll probably be a little late. Got practice for an hour."
"Oh, right. Forgot you were a cheerleader." he chuckled and started his bike. "Yeah, I'll see you tomorrow." Nate was gone before y/n could respond.
"See you tomorrow, Nate Macauley."
The next day at school, Nate showed up to all of his classes and only sold kids drugs during breaks and lunch. When the day was over, y/n went to the gym for practice. Addy looked up from doing her stretches.
"Hey, y/n. Over here."
Y/n approached her friend and started her stretches. "Hey, where is everybody else? There's only 5 girls here."
"I'm not sure. There was only 2 when I got here." Addy grabbed onto her foot and leaned over. "So, I noticed Nate showed up at school today and actually attended classes."
"Yeah. Science class was interesting. I mean, watching the teacher yell at him for missing so many assignments was hilarious. It was even better when he was handed all the workbooks and papers."
"I'm sure he wasn't pleased with it."
"It was funny, but I do kind of feel bad for him." y/n stretched her arms out.
"Oh well. Serves him right for missing so much school." Addy checked over her shoulder when the door slammed open. A few more cheerleaders walked in and took their usual spots. "Where's the coach and all the other girls?"
"Haven't heard from coach all day. Have you even seen her?"
"No, we haven't. Maybe she's not coming." y/n looked around. "Should we just leave?"
"I'm definitely leaving." Addy stood up and stretched one more time. "You wanna go see a movie, y/n?"
"I would love to but I gotta meet Nate at the library to work on our science project." y/n stood up and went to the locker room. Addy followed and opened her locker.
"You're not gonna start ditching us for Nate, are you? Because that's just not right."
"I'm only going to be spending time with him until our project is finished. That's it."
"Good, because we can't have you falling in love with him. It would not be good for you or your reputation."
"I appreciate you looking out for me, Addy, but I don't think you guys are ever going to have to worry about me falling in love with him. It's just never going to happen." y/n gave her friend a small wave and headed off to the library. When she walked in, Nate smiled at her.
"Hey. I wasn't expecting you for another 40 minutes."
"Coach didn't show up so we all decided to leave."
Nate chuckled. "One afternoon with me and you're already ditching? I wish I could say I'm shocked but I'm really just proud of that."
"Relax, Macauley. It wasn't a class. It was just practice. I don't get graded for it."
"I know. But you still ditched. I like that." Nate smirked. "Have you given any thought to the project I suggested?"
"Yeah. I think it can definitely be done if we work nonstop on it. I'm sure it'll be impressive too, given your skills."
"My skills?"
"Yeah. I've seen you fixing cars and bikes and other stuff."
"You've been watching me?" he raised an eyebrow at his partner.
"No. Of course not. Your place is on my way home and sometimes I can see you outside working on some kind of vehicle. Plus, you fixed up my brother's car last year. It was great."
"Oh. Well, thanks. I work hard when it comes to something I love." he looked at the textbook in front of him. "Shall we get started?"
"In a minute. I actually have something for you." y/n reached into her bag and pulled out a tupperware container. "Yesterday, you said the brownies I had were delicious, so I made some more for you last night."
"Seriously? That's so kind of you." Nate took a brownie from the container and took a bite. "Wow. What do you put in these?"
"Like I'd ever reveal my secret ingredient." y/n smirked and pulled out her notebook. "Okay. What materials are we going to need?"
For the next 2 weeks, y/n and Nate spent 3 hours together every day after school working on their project. As Nate put the final touches on it, y/n took a moment to watch his muscles contract against his shirt. The voices of her friends floated around in her head as she watched,
"You can't fall in love with him."
"It's not good for your reputation."
"He's already corrupting you."
"He's not good enough for you."
"All he does is skip school and sell drugs."
"He's a bad influence on you."
Nate finished his work and stood back to admire it. "What do you think?"
"Huh?"
"I asked what you thought of the project."
"Oh. It looks amazing, Nate. You did good."
"You mean we did good." he looked at y/n and smiled. Like her, he had voices bouncing around in his head. Most of them were of his dad and a few were his friends, but they were all telling him that he shouldn't get too close to y/n. She was only going to turn her back on him as soon as they handed in their project, so he needed to distance himself from her. "Hey, I gotta go. But I'll see you at school on Monday."
Before y/n could turn around and say goodbye, Nate was gone. When y/n got home, she called Cooper, knowing he wouldn't judge her for how she was feeling.
"Coop, I don't know what I'm going to do. All of our friends are going to hate me for how I'm starting to feel."
"Y/n, it's going to be okay. Nobody can help who they fall in love with." he took a second before continuing. "Besides, who are they to judge, really? Addy cheated on Jake with TJ and is only hurting herself by not telling him. You're just catching feelings for an actually decent guy. That's way better than what they're going through."
"Thanks, Cooper. You really know how to make me feel better."
"It's what I'm best at." Cooper chuckled on the other end of the line. "I gotta go but feel free to call me if Addy & Jake give you shit for hanging out with Nate."
"Alright. Bye, Coop." y/n hung up and looked at her ceiling. She started remembering how close everyone was back in elementary school, even Nate and Jake. The memories were mostly happy, aside from the few that were too heartbreaking to remember. Y/n wanted nothing more than the good moments back. She wanted to be able to tell her friends how she was feeling, without receiving judgement from them.
Maybe in another world.
When Monday morning came around, y/n looked for Nate but couldn't find him. Assuming that he just slept in, she headed to Science class and handed in their project. Luckily their teacher was going to let them present it in class tomorrow instead of today.
At lunch, Nate was still a no-show & it was beginning to worry y/n. Cooper noticed her discomfort and pulled her aside.
"You alright?"
"Why wouldn't I be?"
"Your mind has been preoccupied since I saw you this morning & you've been looking around the cafeteria like a crazy lady. Luckily nobody else noticed." he touched her shoulder. "Is this about Nate?"
"God, I hate that you can read me so well." y/n slumped her shoulders. "I really thought he was changing, you know? I thought he'd be here to present our science project with me, but I haven't seen him all day. Do you think he took some drugs?"
"Why would that thought even cross your mind? You know better than anyone that he's been trying to stay sober. If you're so worried about him, why don't you go see him? I'm sure there's a reasonable explanation for his absence on such an important day."
"I can't just ditch school. That's not like me at all."
"You care about him, right?"
"Well, yeah but-"
"Then go to him. I can cover for you here."
"Thanks, Coop." she kissed his cheek and ran out of the school. Luckily Nate's house was not far so she didn't have to rush. When she got to his house, Nate was in the garage. "Nate, we need to talk."
"What do you want, y/n?"
"I want to know why you haven't returned my calls or texts all weekend and why you didn't show up at school today."
"The project is over so I figured that you should go back to hanging out with your friends and I'll go back to being alone all the time. It's no big deal for me."
"It is a big deal. It's a huge deal. I know you, Nate. And I know that you enjoyed these last 2 weeks because it gave you someone other than your buyers to talk to. You don't like being alone, just admit it."
"Why can't you let it go? I don't want to hang out with anyone. That's why I do what I do."
"What is your problem? You were fine on Friday...and we used to be friends. What gives?"
"You really want to know why we aren't friends?"
"Yes, I really do. So why don't you tell me?"
"When we got to high school, you got hot & that's just not fair!" he approached y/n with a finger pointed at her face.
"How is that not fair? You got hot too!" y/n looked at him. "But you don't see me pulling away from this friendship, do you? What's not fair is that you're pushing people who care about you away when you know that it's only going to hurt you in the end."
"You think I'm hot?" Nate's scowl suddenly turned into a smirk.
"No. I didn't say that."
"Yes, you did." his smirk kept growing. "You just said it like 10 seconds ago."
"That's not the reason I came over here." y/n looked behind him. "Why don't you want to be friends with me?"
"Because you're hot and popular. You've got a good reputation and being friends with me will only bring you down. I care about you enough to not let that happen."
"I don't give a damn about my reputation anymore, if you can't already tell by me being here in the middle of a school day." y/n took a step closer. "And if you really cared about me, you wouldn't let reputations get in the way of that."
"Look, what if we become friends again and end up falling in love or something? That could ruin the very fragile relationship we barely have. I don't want that."
"I'm willing to risk it, Nate." y/n looked up at him. "Please tell me that you're willing to do the same."
"Fine. For you, and only for you, I'm willing to risk our friendship for love."
"Love, huh? Do you really feel it?"
"Yeah, I really do. How about you?"
"Despite all the warnings from my friends, I absolutely feel it too."
"Good because," he pulled her close and looked into her eyes. "I really want to kiss you."
"How about we start with a date first, huh?"
"Okay. Deal!"

Dear Diary - KSI Imagine
Here's another imagine from Wattpad for y'all to read and hopefully like , send in any requests you have and I'll get to writing.
Here's JJ looking great in a suit oooooh.

London, England.
Dear Diary,
It finally happened, we finally broke up . I'm heartbroken don't get me wrong but I knew it was coming when he started getting distant.
I just walked into his apartment, ended things , wished him well and left. Funny thing is he didn't even realise it was my birthday today, imagine my boyfriend of 5 years didn't remember my birthday because he was too busy working on a YouTube video.
I do feel sad but not as sad as I should be considering I've ended this long relationship. I think it's just not set in fully yet , maybe it will when I wake up alone in bed tomorrow, when I have no one to share my breakfast with , no one to cuddle with when the apartment gets too cold . I just hope that when it sets in , it's not too bad .
I just want to forget everything about him and what we had and hopefully move on. I think I can do it but let's see.
I'll write to you again tomorrow and let you know how I'm feeling cause your the only one that I can talk to now about my feelings.
Love you Diary

London, England
Dear Diary,
I've been such a mess. I knew people said breakups would be hard but I didn't know it would be this hard. All I do is sit around the apartment and cry. Even Talia said I've been crying too much and that's when I realised that I've been crying all the time cause Talia usually cries a lot too.
She asked me if she could move in with me for a while since there was some work to be done for her apartment but I know it's probably because she wants to make sure I don't do something drastic.
I hate being this emotional and feeling like I'm a burden to others. Imagine being the livewire of the group, the one always having fun and making jokes and now you can't seem to even crack a smile. That's how I feel.  Everything reminds me of him. I just want to be better and I'm trying and I hope with Talia here to talk and get advice from I'll be better.
I promise to be better
See you tomorrow, Talia will be here so hopefully it's a much more happy day.
Love you Diary,

.
Dear Diary,
I finally feel better, feel more like myself. Who knew all it would take was Talia's cooking and care and a trip away with my girls.
Today is the last day for us at the resort and we've had an amazing day. Gee and Freya got me some stuff from when they went shopping and this one top OMG it's so pretty.
I've been lighter on the drinks today after last night's debacle. But hey atleast we got some drinks on the house today because the guy I made out with turned out to be a bartender.
I felt guilty about the kiss but the girls said I was single and had nothing to worry about , but there's still that small voice in me that says different. Anyways I just maintained some distance with him and just awkwardly smiled when he tried hitting on me again. I'm really out of touch with the flirting game :(
Anyways we're going back home tomorrow morning and I'm glad Talia talked me into coming on this trip , I needed this.
See you tomorrow Diary,

Dear Diary,
You won't believe this but I GOT THE PARIS JOB. OMG I'M SO HAPPY I CAN'T CONTROL MYSELF.
This has been such a dream and I'm glad they asked again after I rejected them last time. I probably should have gone the previous time itself seeing how mine and JJ's relationship turned out. I put my dreams on hold for him but he couldn't.... Anyways forget about him.
I leave for Paris in a month and have to work there for about a year and then I can return here and continue to design. Talia and the girls were overjoyed with the news but then we all started crying thinking about how we would be apart.
The girls want to organise a party before I go so I can properly say goodbye to everyone and I agreed. Nothing bad can happen at a party right.
But I'm so excited.....PARIS BABYYYYYYY.
See you tomorrow Diary,

London , England
Dear Diary ,
I had so much fun at the farewell party that the girls organised. They invited basically every single friend I had in London and miraculously everyone showed up to bid goodbye.
I caught up with so many people and even enjoyed a free Talia Mar concert in which she performed all my favourite songs of hers , that girl is so talented I hope she gets her big break soon. Simon and Tobi stood with me the entire night asking me if I needed anything , both of them are like the brothers I never had , hell the Sidemen are the family I never had and I'm so glad these guys are part of my life. I owed a lot to them and I'm glad we stayed friends even after my breakup with JJ...
Talking of JJ, I saw him tonight for the first time since the breakup. He seemed to be taking it well , and since this is my little secret vault I can tell you that he looked good too. But I didn't have that urge to run into his arms and cling onto him forever, I think I'm finally over him and seeing him tonight assured me that there was almost no feelings at all towards him. It felt freeing almost.
After the party  , me and Talia came back home and ate leftovers before she went to sleep tired as all hell and so am I so I'm going to get some rest too and start packing from tomorrow.
See you soon Diary,

Dear Diary,
I finally made it to PARIS and OMG I'm so excited I couldn't even start explaining to you of how I'm feeling.
I bid goodbye to all my friends at the airport and took the flight here and just reached the apartment the company got me a couple of hours ago. Again I'm only telling you this cause you are my secret vault, JJ wasn't at the airport to say goodbye and a part of me was hoping he would turn up like Ross in F.R.I.E.N.D.S and like we would have a fairytale moment but he didn't turn up and I boarded my flight.
I mentally kicked myself for having expectations from JJ again cause I know he'll always let me down. I NEED to get over him and the best thing is maybe to get someone new to love and cherish...... I've been here for a day and let me tell you the options are limitless.
I'm staying with another girl named Sophia, she's German and a few years younger than me. She seems really fun , like a German version of Freya almost. She made me dinner and had my room ready for me when I arrived. She's such an angel.
I need to report for the job tomorrow morning so I'm going to eat dinner and get some rest.

Dear Diary,
I've had such a fun day. Sophia took me out to one of her favourite bars and decided to get me some action if you know what I mean.
But she went away and got herself someone she liked which left me sitting with the man's friend. He was pretty though so I decided to give him a chance.
I had an amazing time with the friend though, his name's Charles and he said he was a driver or something. I wasn't concentrating on his job resume cause I was too busy lost in his green eyes which seemed he got directly from his native of Monaco.
The both of us talked until we were literally pulled apart by his friends, apparently he has an early day tomorrow and should be asleep. I quickly wrote him my number on a piece of paper and passed it to him though before he was escorted out of the bar.
I'm just waiting for him to message me now but that's unlikely given he's probably already asleep or who knows he might have even lost my number. I hope he messages me though I kinda liked him.
OMG he just messaged me and asked me out this weekend.... Looks like I have plans to make and outfits to choose.
See you tomorrow though Diary,

Dear Diary,
You will not believe this. Wait let me explain it to you from the start.
Me and Charles went out for dinner at one of Paris' finest restaurants and I was having an amazing time and really having fun until we were interrupted by a bunch of teenage girls asking Charles for a photo and autograph.
Turns out he isn't some random driver, HE'S A FUCKING F1 SUPERSTAR.
He took the pictures and we quickly got out of there as our pictures were all over Twitter and people were trying to find out who I was. I'm sure they'll have figured out by the morning and that scares me... I've just got done dealing with JJ's fans and now I have another huge fandom on my ass.
I loved the date though, Charles was a gentleman and dropped me back at my place and asked me out for another date but somewhere more private and I agreed.
He's also like 4 years younger than me which made me feel old despite only being 26 , but he said that was no problem and he usually did date girls older than him.
It was also JJ's birthday today.... He's 27 and all of my friends had posted about it on their stories and on Twitter. The entire morning I debated on sending him a message but eventually decided against it , not wanting to open wounds again.
I hope he's well though....He looks well.
Anyways see you tomorrow Diary,

Dear Diary,
Today was Charles last day here before he had to go back to his racing calendar. He promised to stay in touch and promised to get me to come to one of his races.
I am a little scared watching him go, long distance is never a good idea especially so early in a relationship. I didn't even know if we were in a relationship. We went on loads of dates , enjoyed ourselves and everything. His fans think we are dating, our friends think we are dating, but we still hadn't put a label on things and I was kinda glad we hadn't.
I can only hope this works out cause I've really taken a liking to Charles, something I thought I could never do again.
I'm going to drop him off at the airport tomorrow and then go to work and hopefully get that promotion I was promised. I was also free for a few days next week so I was also planning to go back home with Sophia and meet my friends again.
We'll see what happens though, for now I need to go join Sophia and help her with some work.

Dear Diary,
The comeback party was amazing. I introduced Sophia to all the Sidemen and the Sidegirls. She's taken a special interest in Tobi and I'm hoping they get together cause they would be an amazing couple.
I caught up with everyone including JJ. He had a new girlfriend, her name iwas Olivia. Nice girl from what I could see and everyone seemed to like her. Good for him I guess.
All the boys were also very interested in my love life seeing I was dating THE Charles Leclerc. Yeah dating , Charles asked me out a few days ago and made things official and I was happy.
Me and the group talked all night long, dancing along to some tunes as we drank the night away. I missed this and I'm glad I could have a taste of old times again.
Sober Tobi drove Talia, Sophia and me back to my old apartment and I even caught Tobi slyly passing his number to Sophia.
As soon as we got in Talia started asking me if I was okay with JJ's new relationship , cause apparently I was staring.... I didn't feel like I was staring.
Okay I was a little but not at them but at JJ , he hadn't taken down the picture of us together from the common room and I was a little confused by it. Was he holding on to the memories or does he consider it so unimportant that he just let it be.
Maybe I was thinking too much into it , it's just a damn picture.
I've moved on and so as he , I don't want to start all that again.
Anyways I'm tired as hell but I promised to write something today.

Monza, Italy.
Dear Diary,
I finally came out to Italy to see one of Charles' races . Apparently it's the home race for his team Ferrari and OMG everywhere I saw only red which was the team colors.
The race didn't go well for Charles, he crashed out and didn't even finish the race and was extremely pissed off , but his best friend Pierre winning did cheer him up a little.
Today was the first time I saw how much people actually adored Charles, most of them had his mask on and I saw flags celebrating him everywhere and he couldn't walk a couple of steps before being stopped for pictures and autographs.
We had to get a hotel away from the centre of town cause we didn't want to be stampeded as soon as we left our rooms. The view from the balcony is amazing though and I took loads of pictures which again sent social media in a frenzy as all the Charles fangirls either wanted to be me or get rid of me.
Me and Charles went out for dinner and finally got to talk about how distance was affecting our relationship. It was extremely hard to find time with both our busy schedules, but we promised to try as hard as we could to manage things.
Vik was also at the race today along with Ellie who caught me up on all the gossip in the friend group. Apparently Sophia had really interested Tobi and JJ was newly single again, something about not finding love or something. Sucks to be him I guess.
Anyways I'm heading back to Paris tomorrow and Charles is going to Singapore. Back to the normal routine I guess.
See you back in Paris Diary,

Dear Diary,
I went to see JJ perform today, yeah shock but I was basically hoodwinked into it by Sophia and Talia who told me it was someone else performing.
I was glad I went cause I saw the girls and boys again and truth be told even enjoyed the performance.....he always loved performing live and it showed.
He even came over after the performance and personally thanked me for coming and I was quite taken aback. It was something I never expected him to do , he's too stubborn to do that but he did and I was kinda happy about it.
We all then went out for dinner and I was sat at the end just checking my phone to see if Charles responded to my texts. Things were really dry between us with all the time zone differences and I knew the road down which this relationship was heading, I am just trying to delay the inevitable.
Everyone kept asking me about Charles and I just kept saying everything was good when it is not.
All of us are going to Disneyland tomorrow for a day and I can't wait for it. I've always loved Disneyland and it was one of mine and JJ's favourite vacation spots.
So I'm going to get some sleep, see you later diary,

Dear Diary,
Well I'm single again..... Yeah but this time it's mutual. Things were just not working out and we decided it was better to stay friends. Charles and I were still young and had our entire lives in front of us and didn't want to hold on to something that was clearly not build for the long term. I enjoyed this relationship but alas all things come to an end.
Everyone keeps asking me if I'm okay and I say I am cause I truly am. I'm nowhere near as sad as I was last time. Last time was hell , last time was like losing the best thing in my life.
Enough of the sob story, I'm going back to London for Christmas and New Year, I was invited by JJ.... Yeah JJ. We've been talking and texting like a couple of friends since his Paris show and it's been nice.
I'm almost complete with my work for this year so I might even go to London a little earlier depending on whether my boss let's me go, but she's a sweetheart so she probably will.
The next time I write to you will probably be in London.

You will not believe this..... I kissed JJ. Well more like we kissed each other but we kissed as the clock struck 12 which means we didn't break the tradition.
It was nice.... I don't know how to explain it but it was nice. We've been talking a lot more and Talia thinks we're on our way to getting back together but I think it's more that we're just good friends now..
But good friends don't kiss each other on the balcony under the starry night do they... Fuck I'm going to be thinking about this a whole lot.
Do I want these doubts in my mind or do I just go on with my life as usual cause it doesn't matter.
Moving on.... I can literally hear Sophia and Tobi making out in the room next to me , very horny people I must add .
Anyways I must go sleep now. I'll see you soon Diary.

I need to leave for my flight in a couple of minutes but I decided to write to you before leaving.
I laugh looking back at my year here. So much has happened. I had so much fun at my dream job , had a fling with a famous F1 driver , made a new friend for life and made up with my ex. So much good things have happened.
So thank you for all this Paris.

Dear Diary,
It's JJ's birthday again and we all celebrated it together out at dinner and afterwards at his place. We all had a fun time, he's 28 now and that's CRAZY. Cause that's the age that we wanted to get married at , you know slow things down and start a family age.
He pulled me away from everyone for a chat too and asked me out for a date . I said I would think about it. I want to go , trust me I WANT TO GO but I don't know if going down that road again is for the best. All the girls think it's for the best and so do all the boys but I still have my doubts.
You know what I'll give it a try. Nothing can go wrong after a date can it.
I'll message him and tell him yes , we'll go on a date. If it's good okay and if it's not then that's okay too.
I'm hoping it goes well though eventhough to others it seems like I don't want it to go well.
I hope JJ suprises me and things work out.

We finally got married. I'm finally Y/N Olatunji.
Everything went perfectly. Like not 1 problem came up , it seemed like a fairytale.
I cried a lot during the day. Cried while putting on the dress, cried while walking down the aisle with Simon , cried while JJ read out his vows. It was amazing all throughout the ceremony.
These past 3 and a half years have been such a rollercoaster. Us breaking up , me moving to Paris, both of us getting in new relationships, then getting back together, all the trips away , all the new memories made.
It's been amazing and there's no one in the world that I would want by my side than my husband JJ..... Damn my husband like he's MY HUSBAND. I've been dreaming about this for almost 7-8 years now but it still feels surreal.
Like I'm sat here in my room and looking at him and I can't believe he's mine to hold forever. I love him so much and I'm so thankful for going out on that date in 2021.
I'm thankful for everything.
I'm going now and looking at the look in JJ's eyes , I can feel I'm in for the night of my life.

Dear Diary,
We've just had the best Christmas ever. Me , JJ and Skye spend the whole day together, just the 3 of us celebrating together.
JJ wanted to make this Christmas special since we felt that this would be the first Christmas Skye would properly remember, she was just 4 but God she was smart.
We started the day by opening presets and just like always JJ had gone all out. He had brought all kinds of toys for Skye and some jewellery for me.
I brought him a matching bracelet that we could wear together all the time and he loved it.
We all then prepared the Christmas meal , well I did and JJ and Skye helped as much as they could. We ate then all cuddled together on the sofa and watched all our favorite Christmas films.
It was perfect... Just like my life was perfect and I couldn't be more thankful for JJ and Skye for making my life perfect. They were the perfect husband and daughter any one could ever ask for and I am blessed to have them in my life.
We also took loads of pictures to go into the memories album and loved every minute of the day.
Skye is now asleep, she was tired from playing around all day with her dad. I said JJ would be back in a minute after writing this entry.
He thinks it's cute that I still write in here but little does he know how much you've helped me over the years.
Thank you Diary and I hope I see you again soon,

hi idk if this is a weird question but like. how do u Make Art with adhd? you mentioned in your comic that you struggled w various other creative hobbies, but like drawing feels to me always like the Big Bad Thing I Cannot Ever do. even tho i want to make it my career LOL
how'd you get past that?
not a weird question at all! this is actually a question i ask myself pretty much every day, bc generally my answer to "how do i make art with adhd" has always been: With Great Difficulty, lmfao.
it's hard! i am not always good at it! i made art my job bc i realistically couldn't imagine being truly happy with anything else; if that wasn't the case, i'm not sure i would be doing this. like, that ends up being a big divide between the hobbies mentioned in that comic vs art, which is something that it seems (according to viewing my online activity) i do "Consistently;" it is my career, so there's a level of like, urgency and necessity there that my hobbies don't have. which, like, obviously my advice is not "make it your job so that you HAVE to OR ELSE :)" because it doesn't work like that. i am spending an amount of time OR-ELSE-ing that i think might surprise ppl, and i am frankly very lucky that my wife is the primary provider for our family, because it gives me a safety net for when my brain makes a loud grinding noise and then belches a big cloud of smoke and i have to spend a week hitting it with a wrench.
ANYWAY. this is going to get long bc i have a lot of thoughts abt it. there's really no one answer to getting past it, and i am not "past it," i don't know if i think anyone ever can be! we can just try really hard to keep going in ways that won't burn us out. if i had to pull out the absolute #1 most important thing i've learned over the past few years, it is -- and i know this sounds like dumb corny bullshit but you really have to stay with me here -- being kind and patient with yourself.
i'm being so dead serious. if beating yourself up and freaking out and constantly agonizing over how much more you Could be drawing worked, you would be drawing right now. if beating ourselves up over our output worked, EVERYONE would be drawing ALL the time. it doesn't fucking work! it does not! do literally anything other than yelling at yourself. it's bullshit. it's fuckery. it does not work.
on the other hand, cultivating as much kindness and patience and compassion as i can muster -- saying, "well, it looks like i just don't have it today. that's okay, let's try again tomorrow," even if i'm saying it through clenched teeth and i don't really believe it -- THAT works, because it chips away at the idea of drawing being life or death. it's probably a very similar feeling to you describing art as The Big Bad Thing. of course if you hang all your self worth on it and let it become immense and dominating, it's going to be hard to interact with it! it's scary! it becomes easier to avoid it than to try to tackle it and then feel disappointed in yourself in a more active way (vs. just disappointed in yet another day where u didn't try). but every time i sigh and say "okay" when my brain is screaming and crying bc art just is not working, and i decide to rest and try again tomorrow, 1. it is easier to do a little bit of work the next day when i'm rested than it is to do ANY work when i chain myself to my desk for 9 hours and demand results, and 2. i learn that it is not the end of the world. it just isn't. and so art gets smaller, and less frightening, and it can just be my job (something i have to wrangle my adhd around just like anything else, like grocery shopping and keeping the house clean and keeping up with my friends) instead of some huge destructive boss battle with my identity hanging in the balance.
sometimes you have to talk to yourself like a little kid. if a little kid came to you upset and was like "i wanna draw but i just can't. i don't know why." you would (hopefully) not be like, "whatever, i guess you're just not cut out for it then!" or whatever other mean shit we say to ourselves when we can't draw. you would be like, "well, okay. do you want me to sit with you? how do we start? where's some stuff we can draw with? hm, i can't really think of what to draw either. did you see anything pretty or cool today? let's just draw some shapes." etc etc. and if the kid got frustrated and it still wasn't working you'd be like, you know what, that was a good try. let's have some lunch and try again later. and you deserve that same level of patience, and that level of CURIOUS problem-solving ("what can we try? what might be easier?") instead of, like, adversarial/blame-assigning problem solving ("what the fuck is the matter with you? why can't you just do it?")
also, shaking things up!! one of the most frustrating things abt adhd for me is i'll find a new strategy that Works, but it only works for like, two weeks or whatever, and then it stops working and i have to do something else. i have had a way better time just accepting that that's how things work vs thinking of these cycles as "failures."
if i start dreading working at my desk, i throw a block of printer paper onto a clip board and work on the couch for a few weeks. when that stops working, i get back on drawpile and do all my warmup sketches on an interactive canvas, with strangers around me (virtual coffeeshop lol?). when i get tired of that, then maybe i'm ready to be alone with clip studio again. nope, still not working? okay, let's stream while i'm working for a while then. let's start drawing differently. let's change the background color i draw on. just, like, i keep shaking things up to see if maybe i can trick my brain into feeling like we're doing something totally new for a while, and a lot of the times it works, and when it does not work i am not an asshole to myself, which is, as i keep reiterating, super vital.
when i make the most art is when i get super excited about something and i let myself go apeshit. (there's a reason my guild wars 2 stuff is corralled on a sideblog lmao.) when commissions start grinding to a halt for me, a lot of times it's bc i've let them become Tasks on a to-do list instead of remembering that each piece is a DRAWING; it can help for me to sit down and go through each piece in my queue and really look at it, and remind myself that these are DRAWINGS and i LOVE drawing, and to point out to myself stuff in the wip that i like, and stuff i'm excited to draw the next time i work on it. it's very easy to flatten stuff into just An Obligation if you stress too much about it, but it's very helpful to slow down and step back and remind yourself WHY you care that much. it's not just bc you have to.
i don't really want this to get much longer than it already is, especially when i don't really have concrete tips so much as rambling opinions and examples of stuff that Kind Of works for me Sometimes. i think the tldr is: relax, be nice, keep it fresh. i hope at least some of this is helpful!

Night time was the best time to get away from annoying people. More so, your “boyfriend”, who constantly asked you where you're going. Despite your intentions on not telling him, you ignore his insults and back-handed compliments to you.
"You should ignore them, (y/n)," your friend, Angeline, said, touring in Japan. No matter what you do, or say, everyone are just as stubborn. Stupid, even, to not realize their hypocrisy on you.
People who are called as “boyfriend”.
"I can't believe this. But if he goes out, he’s fine with it. He can go whereever and whoever he wants. He doesn't have to notify me. He can be shirtless, and nobody wouldn't insult him. He kept saying things like how he's respectable and shit. But if I make my own plans, he won't let me go anywhere without him or his cousin to take with. They practically volunteer themselves them in and then says they don't remember about them going with me. And it happened last week when I wanted to go to a fancy restaurant by myself, and he didn't want me to go alone and then they volunteer on taking his cousin with me. When I confronted them, they said they weren't there at my birthday, they said that her cousin wasn't there on my birthday, that she's working. They betrayed my wishes, and always lie to me, and always defend then at their wrong choices in life. Why the fuck did I move out so soon?”
"Your soon-to-be family fucking sucks. Losers can't even appreciate you. Well, once you break up with him, I'll take you in with no problem. We can be sisters!"
"Aren't we already sisters?" you teased.
"True. Anyway, just forget about them, we're going at the club! Besides, you look gorgeous in that dress, so don’t waste the effort!”
Looking down on your dress, you felt different. A good kind of different.
(This is the dress)
Tumblr media
Eyes widened at your friend's statement.
"Aw come, on, you're good at dancing," she complimented. "If you show off your skills, boys will go to you. Even cute ones--you know the ones that look innocent, but is good in bed."
"You read too much smut," I told her.
"And sometimes, a guy that you'll find, will be able to do anything for you!”
"Not in the club, for starters! We came to have fun, not a marriage ceremony. Besides, I haven’t broke up with him yet."
Angeline pushed you back lightly. "Don't make it sound so bad. Of course we're going to have fun--tons and tons of fun! It's time for a change!"
You nodded. "Enough negativity! I can change my life around!"
Angeline cheered. "Good! That's how an independent woman should think! Damned if you do, damned if you don't. You heart will be set free! Starting tonight!"
~~~
Drinking another liquor, Gojo said, rested his arm on the couch frame, surrounded by ladies, fawning. "Geto, aren't you satisfied you're taking a break from your work?"
Geto, on the other hand, had a shot, uninterested. "I'm glad."
"You don't sound glad," Gojo notified, smirking. "You haven't gotten someone's pussy lately."
Geto choked. "I just want to rest."
"Yeah, rest on someone's pussy."
"Would you stop that? The girls will get the wrong idea."
Gojo shrugged. "I don't think the girls hate it, based on what I've been seeing."
The girls giggled at Geto's reaction.
"Knock it off, Gojo."
"Come on, lighten up. If I was a girl, I'd flirt with you with my blue eyes."
Geto rolled his eyes. "I have to rest for tomorrow. Another client is requesting for a large tattoo on her back."
"What was it?'
"A photo of her husband. Ex husband."
Gojo spat out his drink. "Are you fucking kidding me?"
"I wish." Geto shook his head. "Though she paid me a hefty amount of cash, so I can't say shit to her."
"Damn, that's dedication for your tattoo shop. Guess I don't have to worry about it anymore. You need to relax. Who knows it'll be fun at the end of the night."
Geto shrugged. "Maybe." Then ate his appetizer, ignoring the girls who try to gain his attention, never minding Gojo, who seems to be doing well with socializing.
~~~
"I'm telling you that this is for your own good. If your stay with your pussy of a “boyfriend”, you're not getting a new dick for tonight."
My eyes paused at Angeline with shock.
"Yeah, if you say it out loud, everyone's going to think I'm desperate."
"(y/n), you have to do this. Staying indoors with him acting as a housewife won’t do you good! Meeting new people is when going outside, sometimes online. Unless if you date someone on virtual mode, then it's weird."
Angeline shoved you slowly, yet gently against your back. "Don't be shy. Show them what you're made of, and someone will notice you. That way, you can move on from your life with your stupid family and relatives who doesn't give a shit about you or remembers a single thing about you."
"Okay, but--"
"No, buts, you have to do this. You have to be more like those Disney princesses who wanted new adventures."
"This isn't Disney, though."
"Still, you get what I mean." Angeline patted your upper arms. "You got this! I'll be here, watching."
You sighed. "Okay, but I want this song to be played in order for me to get started. I know you have to pay the DJ to play the song that people personally like."
"Okay, we'll do that." You friend dragged you and went up to the DJ, requesting the song to play from the Iphone.
"How much?"
"¥14,977," the DJ confirmed.
You took out the wallet to pay, but Angeline already paid.
"Angeline," you began.
"No, I want you to live your life. This is my treat."
"What if I don't get a date?'
"Even if you don't get a date, it's fine."
"But you told me earlier to find someone and fuck them at the end of the night."
"Yeah, I know, but, it doesn't matter now. Whatever the outcome is, all that matters is you being happy away from your “boyfriend”. Even just for tonight. I want you to be happy, far and wide, so that they'll forget about you. I know you're better than them, and I know you can do better than them—even your pussy of a “boyfriend”. Believe in yourself, and never lose sight of your goal, even if it means of cutting them off."
You smiled. "Thanks, Angeline."
"Anytime. Now go have fun," she encouraged.
The DJ played the tune you wanted. All the people on the dance floor stopped, but you we're just getting started.
Super Shy by Newjeans is your favorite song, and you've been practicing dancing the choreography. And that's how you gained confidence, though little by little. At first, you're frightened of making a single mistake, that everyone would laugh, so you pretend that you're inside your room, dancing like no one's watching. In the end, you were giggling, still moving your body.
~~~
"Oh, I never heard that song before," Gojo commented, "Very cheery."
Geto stopped and listened to the beat. "Defintely not from here in Japan."
"Ah, I can probably give you a few reasons why," Gojo said, pointed at you. "She stands out. In fact, too much from the crowd. Can't say it's a bad thing, though. Don't you think so, Suguru?"
Smoking, Suguru said nothing and kept an eye on the dance floor. A girl's movements swiftly clean and sharp with every turn and step. He had never seen a girl who's energetic to do dancing. He has seen girls who dance, but not in a way that you did. The song's rhythm is filled with cheery beat. None of the crowd seemed as cheery as you, but everyone kept watching, your feet insync with music. And by the time it ends, you ended with a smile and a few claps and cheers, but other than that, you left the dance floor and try to search for your friend.
But then another song came on, Jungkook's song, 3D, and you find yourself dancing again. This time, people are jamming in, because everyone knows BTS.
With a finger flicked the cigarette, Suguru stood up, stretching his legs with a groan huffing from his chest.
"Ooh, where you going, Sugee-Woogee?"
Suguru cringed. "I'm heading to the restroom."
Suguru walked ahead and carefully approached the crowd.
"Suguru, that's not where the restroom is," Gojo pointed out.
~~~
When you danced along Jungkook's song, your friend tapped you on the shoulder, rather rapidly.
"Dude," Angeline said. "Dude!"
"What?"
"Dude!"
"What?!"
"I think someone's coming this way!" your friend said with glee.
"Who? I don't see anyone." The crowd is too thick for you to see.
"Have fun," Angeline said in a sing-song voice, waving a farewell. "I'll be at the bar if you need me."
"Dude!" you said in English, whining.
Continue on dancing to a different tune, The Weeknd's song, you felt a large hand slithering around your waist. Then a large bulge grinding against your backside.
When you staggered back, to face who was grasping you, your nealy collapsed on your back; another hand hooked on your back to break your fall, and there you see a man with dark, longish hair with narrowed eyes glinting at you, his lips curved into a small smirk.
"Careful, there, no one wants to see a beautiful princess fall now, don't we?"
A young man gave another subtlety of his smirk.
"Thank you," you uttered, not confident, face covered in blush.
He pulled you right back up. "Don't mention it, princess." Then he did a little waltz with you on the dance floor, treating you with care. "So what does the princess doing here in the club?'
You frowned at that. "Am I not allowed to go to club?"
"You're allowed," he said. "But you look too ravishing compare to the girls I stumbled onto tonight."
Is he serious? you thought to yourself. For all you know, he might have a girlfriend waiting for him. You didn't want to get to a certain point of involving wasted drama.
"You might mind, but I don't."
He hummed. 'Why's that, sweet lady?'
"Your girlfriend might get upset with you if you associate with someone like me. I hate to say this, but it'd be great if you back off. I don't want to get involve with drama.'
He looked at you intently before giving a good laugh. "Oh, you sweet princess. Here's the thing," his lips leaned closer to your ear. "I don't have anyone in my life at the moment."
That doesn't sound convincing enough.
"Ooh, is the little lady doubtful of me?" his voice laced like honey. "You shouldn't be."
'Oh, but I wouldn't count on it.'
'Why's that?'
Your head nudged towards the girls behind Geto, who are sitting at their seats furiously, glaring daggers at you.
'Gojo set me up for a date I didn't like.'
"Date?" You never heard of a guy being set up to a date with numerous girls at the same time.
He nodded. "I was supposed to rest for tonight. My back was hurting for my work. Bending my back down and then stretch it."
'Well, you can go to a chiropractor to adjust your spine. It usually works.'
He hummed. 'I'll keep that mind, princess.' His other hand clung onto your waist and spun your back around for him to grind against you.
'Bet you never have a guy who does it good as me, princess."
You found yourself blushing. 'No one has actually. In fact, I don't even know your name.'
He leaned his face against your locks, inhaling a fainted rose water scent. 'Let's enjoy ourselves for now.'
Despite his claims, you can't help but to look back at the girls the guy used to hang out, are entirely pissed at you. But the guy with white locks and blue eyes gave a toast to you with a smirk.
"Let's go somewhere private," he said into your ear, getting your attention back to a raven-haired man. "What do you say?'
Pondering your gazing look into his eyes before a chance of bestowing him an answer.
~~~
He slammed you against the wall against the bathroom stall in a ladies restroom, kissing and ravishing your neck and collarbone with few licks and nibbles mingling his lips with languid and passionate kisses.
You sighed, clutching his hardened body. "Mhmmm~'
"You like it, princess?” He made sure the restroom's lock so no one can go in. Kisses more on the shoulders, then your neckline until it reaches to your earlobes, tugging it gently with his teeth.
His eyes glinted, examining your flushed skin as you breathed hard, eyes filled with plea.
His hand slid underneath your dress, pressing his fingertips against the nub of your cunt, circling it as it sends a thousand waves crushing against you, soaring with pleasure. Undoing your straps, his tongue and teeth delved and ravished the hardened nipple on your breast with a low moan, fondling the other.
'I'm guessing you have never been touched or have been pleasure by a man.'
Blushing furisouly, you turned your head away, which it lead to him taking your chin and rotated your head, facing him.
'Tell me, princess, and I'll make your dreams come true,' he said into your ear with intent eyes daggered to your sheepish ones.
You gulped. "Fuck me, please." With your hands hung around behind his neck, indicating it gently for him to get closer to you.
Smirking, he lunged his lips and crashed to yours. His slick tongue gained acess to your tongue, his hands clutched the fabric of your underwear, pulling it downward bit by bit. His lips pulled away, looking into the haziness in your eyes.
"Shall I go further, little lady?' his eyes twinkled in anticipation.
Gasping, you held onto his hair. indicating for your thirst to be quenched.
Geto took the initiation of bringing your legs up to his shoulders as he flicks and consumed the taste of you on his tongue, humming in pleasure.
"Ah~" Your head threw back, clutching him tight without fall.
Bucking your hips against his face, your lower body gyrated against him. Large hands steadied you, but with a flick and slurp on his mouth driven you crazy. Your legs enveloped around his head.
He moaned, hands now gripping on your ass and pushed it toward his face closer to a point he wanted to suffocated from your delicious thighs.
"Ah~" your breath ragged, body coldly shivering, shoulders and neck became intensely hot, finding your ragged breath became loudly desperate. "I'm getting close," you said.
His biceps locked your thighs in tighter, his tongue lapped a few more rounds until your walls clenched and drenched his mouth with cum.
As it was over, he settled your legs down carefully. Inclining his head upward, your eyes gazed at the glazed cum you implanted on him. With a smirk, he licked his lips and hummed in satisfaction.
"Taste just as exquisite as you are, princess," he said, getting up on his two feet in haste, and approached you, zipping his pants down, revealing his long and thick cock. Before you could react, he lifted you up, placing your legs on his waist as he pinned you against the wall.
"Hold onto me, princess," he moaned, tugging your earlobe with teeth before he pounded his cock into your hole.
You never had sex before, but you're pretty sure how it works in movies and books compare to real life feels different. Sudden without warning.
But it didn't mean awful in your case. In fact, it felt good and full in your cunt.
Noticing your gasps, his lips curved into a smirk and pounded his cock all the way to your g-spot with a loud grunt, tossing his head back, his moans echoed loudly towards the restroom's ceiling. His hips picked up the pace and pounded twice as rough and rapidly brute. Little by little, your arms weighted with exhaustion, still wrapped behind his neck, as your sloppily kissed with him, tasting yourself from his greedy lips.
"Almost there, princess," he said, breathing onto your mouth, thrusting sloppily yet callously.
"Coming~" you moaned aloud, and his semen spilled onto your hole, filling with hot seed, draining to your inner thighs.
Both of your leaned your foreheads towards each other, pressing with heaving breaths lingering.
His eyes lingered to yours, pressing his lips against yours, almost lax and carefree. He chuckled when saw your flushed expression.
What a cutie, he said.
"That was fun," you said, chuckling.
His long hair swished as he found himself chuckling.
"Tell me something, my princess," he leaned closer. "What is it that you want? From what I can tell, based on you, I can tell you want more than a simple life. What is it that you want, that you truly want?"
Your breath staggered. "Tell me, and I'll give it to you."
Heaving, you contemplated; your legs are shaking and leaden, almost as if it was pinned to the ground.
He kept you steady. "Woah, we can't get a break, huh? You're so beautiful, my darling princess, even in this state."
Nuzzling against his chest, you breathed as your cheeks.
You never knew this man, but somehow he made you feel like you're in heaven with him--a solace from your hell.
"You okay, princess?'
"I'm okay. My legs are sore."
"First time sex always get sore," he said, smirking.
"Clearly," you said, giggling.
He kissed you again, caressing your waist with both of his hands. "I want to see you again soon, baby~"
"I want to see you, too, but--"
"But?"
Your eyes saddened. "My boyfriend. They won't let me be as myself around him, and always supervised me everywhere I go; I can't go alone without him, and my friend brought me here. I just want some peace—I was planning on breaking up with him.”
His eyes looked onto you intently. "What do you truly want, princess?'
You said nothing.
"I'll give you anything you want. Just say the word, and you'll have it."
You sighed, looking away for a second. "I don't know..."
"Look at me, my good princess..."
You looked at him, eyes locked with fear.
"Tell me what you wish for, and I'll make all of your dreams come true," he guaranteed. “Put your trust in me.”
"Well, it might sound silly, but I want to have a couple of tattoos. I just want something for myself."
"Ah, a sign of rebellion," he mused, still holding onto your waist, gripping it tight and proud.
Your gaze lowered. "Yeah.."
His finger tucked under your chin for your gaze to be lock onto his in an extension of time. "That's not silly, at all." He fished in his pockets and gave you something, but before he could touch your hand, the restroom doors banged.
"What the fuck?! The door's jammed!"
"I need to pee!"
"We have to get the security to pry this open!"
Then the silence came.
He chuckled. "Guess we better go." He took your hand and unlocked the door.
Quickly, both you and him snuck out of the restroom, but only to be caught by your friend.
"(y/n), where the hell have you been? I've been dying to tell you about this guy I saw, tall and gorgeous with blue eyes, I--"
Suddenly, she both saw you and him together outside of the restroom, put two and two clues together.
Instead of talking, Angeline gave you a subtle smirk. "I'll leave you guys to it..."
She walked away as he placed his arm behind his head, chuckling awkwardly.
"Sorry about her, she wanted me to--"
"I know," he said, then his hand outstretched. laying the paper material onto your hand. "Call me, princess." He gave a soft, loving peck on your cheek. His suppled lips lingered a little longer than you expected.
"Keep in touch. I'll be waiting." He gave a smile before he went back.
But you seized him.
"We don't know each other's names," you said, frantic.
He chortled. “You’re right.” He looked back and leaned his tall height close to your level, his face nearing against yours. “Tell me your name, princess.”
"(y/n)," you said proudly.
Watching his lips curved upward, he said. "Beautiful."
"I don't even know your name," you pointed out.
"It's on the back of the card," he purred into your ear.
"I want to hear it from you," you said, pleading. “Your voice.”
He chuckled. "Since you're a good girl, I'll tell you. My name is Geto Suguru."
Suguru...
Your said boyfriend texted you in a total of 138 messages and phone calls and angry voicemails.
"Your boyfriend is a piece of work," he commented.
"Yeah, he is. I just want to take a break." You shut the phone off. You rushed off to your friend---him following you--and showed her the missed calls and messages from your said boyfriend.
"They're that persistent," Angeline said, rolling her eyes.
"We should go back. My soon-to-be annoying in laws is going to think I got drugged or something," you said.
He took the card from you and tucked it in. And took your phone and dialed the number instead.
"What if my boyfriend discovers you on my phone?"
"There's a landline," he suggested. Call me by this number."
Fear overtook you for a second, numerous scenarios running in your head.
His callous palm lingered onto your skin as he placed it. "Don't be afraid, princess. I'll be waiting for you," he said with a smile before he gave you one last kiss.
But then you said, tugging his sleeve. "May I see your phone?"
Without hesitation, he gave you his phone, and dialed your phone number and added into his contacts, then looking at him back, watching his smile at your sudden move on entering your phone number.
"That's my girl. I'll keep in touch," he said, and walked away back to his seat with his friend, music blasting away as you and Geneva.
Your eardrums banged even after heading outside. Angeline couldn't help you but smirk.
"What?'
"Where did you go, missy?' she teased.
"I was chatting with him," you said.
"Does banging the restroom stalls count as chatting?''
Your face instantly blushed.
"So, how good is he?'
Hands shielded over your face. "Angeline!"
"I'm just kidding! See, I know you'll meet someone. He's been eyeing on you since the dance floor," she cheered and embraced you by the side while ruffling your hair with her fist. "You're becoming a woman, (y/n)," she said, cackling.
Your phone rang again.
"Don't answer it. I'll do the explaining for you," Angeline said.
"No, don't. They're going to suspect we're doing drugs."
"We'll just tell them there's traffic. Japan is a very busy country, after all. Oh yeah," she took out the napkin. "Might want to use this. His cum is spilling out on your legs and heels."
"Don't say stuff like that in public." As you wiped the cum, the wind breezed against your skin and dress. It felt nice and cold, and yet...naked.
"Oh no," you muttered in horror.
"What? What's wrong?"
"I'm not wearing any underwear," you uttered quietly, blushing at the thought of your knight in shining armor, Geto, taking your panties with him.

My brain refused to let me sleep for a whole goshdarn HOUR last night because it *really* wanted me to write this.
So I've spent the whole day off-n-on working on this. I tried to follow through with showing his more manipulative yandere side, but idk if I actually did all that well at it...
Enjoy this late-night sleepytime brain worm anyway! ^w^
-----
"Sunshine, I need you. To quit. Squirming." Jack spoke through grunts as he tried to wrestle their phone from them. His Sunspot was being very uncooperative and he just needed them to stop and listen.
"I know you want to listen, love. Please, just stop struggling and hand me the phone. I wouldn't be able to hold you down right now if you didn't really want me to take it from you. So please Sunshine, just hand-"
Their pouty face hurt his heart to see as he succeeded, but it was for the best he reminded himself.
"There we go!" He sighed. Letting go of them, he motioned for them to stay where they were as he proceed to get up and hide that little black object.
If it wasn't necessary for their work, he'd just break the stupid thing. One less distraction away from him. One less way for others to try and take them away...
"I know you're not happy about this, I know. But we need to talk. One on one- no distractions and no interruptions."
"I could have just turned it off."
"And no temptations." He stressed temptations as he sat down beside them on the couch. They sat up, rolling their eyes and crossing their arms.
"Alright," they said with a huff. "What is it that's so important you had to take my phone away?"
"You of course, and the fact that you," he put a hand on one of their arms before he continued, "have not been taking proper care of yourself!"
"Oh, pfft, is that all?"
Jack looked mildly frustrated.
"Must I make it clearer how serious I am?"
"Look, Jack, I know how you worry about me a lot, but I'm fine. Really!" They tried to pass off the slight cough that cut them off as intentional throat clearing.
"You've been overworking yourself to the point of making yourself sick, you hardly eat or sleep, and you only recently got over the cold a coworker gave you!"
"I never caught that cold-" A more noticeable coughing fit cut them off and Jack looked wholly unconvinced.
"My point exactly. If you keep going like you have been this past month, you're going to burn out and potentially have an accident. I can't sit idly by and watch you hurt yourself like this!"
Silence was all that met him as they looked away. He could tell they were starting to face the music- the fact that he is right.
"W-well, okay, maybe you are right. I haven't been able to spend much time with you lately either. But what am I supposed to do? The bills won't pay themselves..."
"First off, you've got more money than you think. Secondly, if you're willing, we can make a budget. I'll even help you stick to it."
"Helping me stick to things is one thing you are pretty good at."
"See? Look, you don't have to figure this stuff out alone. I know you stress about money a lot, but at least let me try to help you. It's the least I can do since I can't make money myself, yeah?"
They nodded. Accepting help from him in the form of housework, companionship, and daily reminders had been okay and quite natural to do even. What's one more thing? He was willingly offering to help them budget- something they weren't good at not freaking themselves out about. Jack's help could be the difference they needed in getting their finances- and their work life balance- under control.
"Yeah, I... I think I would like help with that, actually."
"Thank you for trusting me, Sunshine. I promise you, we're going to figure this out. Together. However the budget making can wait until tomorrow."
They quirked an eyebrow up at his words.
"Tomorrow? What are we doing now then? It's still only eleven in the morning. Am I getting my phone back?"
Jack couldn't help but chuckle at their confusion.
"Oh no, we're not doing anything today beyond making sure you get rest. Playing on your phone is not rest, so you'll be getting that back tomorrow."
"But-"
"No but about it! Besides, maybe I'd like to take care of you. Bundle you up in a blanket with a piping hot bowl of soup. Spend that time talking with you..."
They couldn't lie, that did sound nice. It'd been so long since they last got sick, it'd been awhile since they let anyone just take over for them.
"Can I make one request?"
"Is it about the phone?"
"Nope."
"Then go ahead!"
Something told them Jack wouldn't mind, but they still felt a little embarrassed asking anyway.
"Instead of a blanket, can I... can I wear your jacket?"
Jack smiled and ruffled their hair. He shrugged off the jacket and placed it around their shoulders.
"You look so cute in it Sunshine... Now sit tight and let me go get you that soup!"

𝐚𝐮𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐫’𝐬 𝐧𝐨𝐭𝐞 | based on this request <3 
𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐝 𝐜𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐭 | 1.4k ish
Holly shit I need to clear my head. I hear our apartment door slam behind me as I rush down the stairs. My head was reeling, why was this happening and why am I the only one who can see it? I feel their cool air hit my face and I just start walking not sure where I'm going. I'm brought back into my thoughts at the sound of a car horn. I stop and look around I know where I am just a few blocks from my family apartment. I rub my arms to keep myself warm even though it's still early winter it's a cold day and my fleece isn't doing much to keep the brisk wind out. 
I bite my lip as I try to get my thoughts together. Not going to lie to myself my entire life has been pretty wacky. But the last year has been something else. Today was the typing point, the tv was on with the news of some massive fire, but I could have sworn in the crowd amongst the smoke I saw 3 massive dogs, and not like mastiff size like a rhino size with glowing red eyes. When I pointed them out my family all thought I was joking and I played it off like that but the truth was I've been seeing things like that on and off for months now. I know what I saw but no one else can see it and it infuriates me.
I scan my eyes wildly for some answer as if one would be on the streets of new york. 
Fuck it, if no one else can see them then ill just have to pretend to be like them, I've been doing it my whole life just because now I have to add giant scary dogs to the list doesn't mean I can have a giant life crisis. 
I turn to head back but I stop in my tracks just a few meters away was one of them staring right at me. Okay, maybe the pretending could start when I was safe inside my home. I turn the corner and start running I can hear the pounding of its feet, or maybe that's my heart I turn to check if it's behind me but suddenly I slam into something. I tumble onto the sidewalk and I feel burning pain on one side of my body.
“Oh my gods I’m so sorry are you okay” I hear a voice say 
“Im alive if that's what you're asking” I push my body up so I can see who is talking, and my eyes widen as I see what he's holding “fuck dude is it even legal to have that!” I scramble away from the buy with the might I add very deadly weapon” 
“I think so?” his eyes widen as if releasing something “Wait you can see it” 
I wince as I stand up “You mean the fucking sword in your hand? yeah. I can see it” I scan my injuries “Dude these are my favourite pants!” where my knee and leg hit the ground there was a giant tear
“You’re more worried about your pants than the gash in your leg?” he says jokingly 
“Skin will heal my pants will not” I eye him “Who are you anyway and why were you surprised I could see your sword?”    
“Oh um this might sound weird but do you ever see anything” Taking in my bewildered expression he tries to explain “Like weird things and other people cont see them or see something else” 
 My eyes widen in shock my brain is telling me to run as far as I can but for some reason, I blurt out “Like the monster dogs?”
He seemed to be thinking then his eyes lit up “Yes! The ones with red eyes?” 
“That's what I was running from dude! There's one a few blocks around the corner!”
“Oh! Why didn't you say so?” his eyes snapped from me to the corner of the street and back to me “Meet me here tomorrow at noon okay?” 
“Sure?” I’m confused, my head is spinning and the pain from my fall is starting to kick in 
“I'll answer all your questions I promise but right now go somewhere safe. Now!”
 I do just that as I sprint away taking a different route to my home.    
Later that night I was lying in my bed my thoughts spiralling.
Who was the (quite attractive) guy?
Why can he see the same stuff as I can?
Why can I see it?
I groan as I roll over in bed, I can't deal with this right now. Even though I would see him in a few hours it felt like I would have to wait a lifetime. 
✭✭✭
I tap my foot as my eyes dart around the street, I had gotten there early due to my nerves. I gnaw on my lip. What if he died? I would never know, and I would never get answers. 
I glance around again and this time I spot the sea-green eyes I was looking for, I smile out of relief and almost break into a grin as he smiles back from across the street. I can't help it this guy is seriously cute. 
“Oh thank god I had thought you had died” I grab his arm pulling him towards a coffee shop to get out of the cold air.
“Awwww missed me already?” he teases as I push the door open and step inside.
“Don't flatter yourself, you owe me answers.”
We slip into a booth in the back where no one would hear us. 
“So?” I ask 
“So what?” he asked cluelessly
I roll my eyes “Well I know nothing about you except you can see stuff like me, a name would be helpful for starters”
“Percy Jackson at your service, and you are?” he extends his hand 
“Y/N L/N, a pleasure to meet you” I shake his hand and giggle slightly at the formalness of it.
Percy explains about the gods and monsters and how it was all real in our world, then about how he was a demigod and went to a camp with all of them.
I nod slowly “Okay” I can hear my voice shake slightly and I take a deep breath “Cool, cool, cool monsters and Greek gods I can get my head around 
Percy tilts his head slightly scanning my face “You seem to be taking this well”
I laugh lightly “If I'm doing well I hate to see others, but yeah after what I've seen in my life it's not hard to put a reason behind it, even if the reason is slightly mind-blowing” I joke
Percy smiles but then scans my face again,
“What?” I ask he furrows his eyebrows “You keep looking at me like you're trying to figure something out.” I explain 
He sighs “I'm just trying to figure out if you're a half-blood”
 I cut him off “Like you?” 
“Yeah like me, but if you were we should have found you already,” his face told me it was a long story for another day “This might sound weird but do you have both of your parents?”
I laugh thinking he's joking but I stop when I see no humour in his face “I do yea” I tense I don't like where this conversation was going 
“Then you probably like my mom, she is completely mortal but can see through the mist”
“The what? Like fog?” my head was spinning 
“No, like a magical veil”
I shake my head “Can we talk about something else for a minute I think my head is going to explode,” 
“Of course, I remember when I first learned about all this.”
I smile gratefully “Tell me about your friends, from this camp place”
He tells me all about Tyson Grover Annabeth and Jason, it's obvious how much he cares about this place. We're both smiling and laughing, it was the happiest I felt in a while. His smile was contagious.
 After not long enough I look out the window and realized it was getting late 
“I should go, my dad is waiting for me” I sigh
“Oh okay,” he sounds as disappointed as I felt “Can I walk you back?”
The question takes me by surprise 
“Only if you want of course-”
 I cut him off “I would like that”
We grab our coats and I start leading the way.
Too quickly I stop at our apartment complex 
“So this is goodbye?” I ask 
“For now” he smiles reassuringly  
“Oh fuck it” I mumble and lean forward to kiss him on the cheek 
His eyes widen and a smile grows on his face “You missed” he jokes 
My nervousness melts into happiness “I guess il have to try again”
I pull his head down to meet mine, before our lips meet I whisper “I kinda have a crush on you Percy Jackson”
“Me too” and with that he closes the gap between us.
As we pull apart I can feel the coolness on my exposed skin, I look up and gasp
“It's snowing!” 
Our eyes meet and time feels frozen for a second, I'm afraid to speak too scared of ruining the perfect moment. It's like snow on the beach unlikely but fucking stunning.

Hang Your Halo • Three
Tumblr media
Main | Two | Four
Pairing: Jake “Hangman” Seresin x OC Beckham “Halo” Teague
Series Warnings: 18+ ONLY, minors DNI. Eventual sexy times. Brief descriptions of combat. Kidnapping. Mentions of drug and weapons trafficking. Violence. Smut with kinks (spitting, throat grabbing, hair pulling, spanking, soft dom/brat dynamics, so much dirty talk) aplenty
I'm stepping to you toe-to-toe
I should be scared, honey, maybe so
But I ain't worried 'bout it right now
I Ain't Worried x One Republic
Jake
After we land and debrief, Maverick suggests a day at the beach and The Hard Deck since we'll be getting a new, extensive mission tomorrow.  That seems a bit daunting, but it is what it is. 
"Halo, you want me to grab you on my way?" I ask as we make our way to the parking lot.  Half pint is notorious trying to keep up drinking with the boys and always needing a ride home from the bar. 
"I guess I should finally just accept the fact that you always bring me home anyway and say yes" she begrudgingly replies, earning a chuckle from me.  I tell her I'll pick her up in a few hours, giving her time to get a nap in.  She knows we'll end up playing football on the beach and her little competitive ass has to be the best, so she takes every advantage she can get.  It's one of the things I admire the most about her, she's always finding a way to be better and it reminds me a lot of myself. 
It pains me to admit that we have a strictly platonic relationship, although I've never actually tried anything.  I've absolutely flirted my ass off, and so has she, but I value her way too much to fuck that up.  The second I laid eyes on her at the Hard Deck so long ago, I almost choked on my beer for two reasons.  First, she's the most attractive woman I've ever laid my eyes on and second, that she would be with Rooster.  Thankfully, I quickly learned they're basically cousins and nothing is going on there.  She about had my jaw on the floor when she fired back with confidence to match my own.  She's kept me on my toes ever since and I couldn't ask for a better partner.  Despite our insane sexual tension, we trust each other with our lives and continually make each other better. 
As promised, I was at Beckham's door a few hours later clad in a backwards ball cap, flip flops, black board shorts, and my nearly threadbare UT shirt.  Beckham opens the door wearing Nike shorts, a loose fitted tank top exposing her strappy bikini top, and her dark hair pulled up into a ponytail.  "Shit, short stack. You're gonna put me in an early grave looking that good" I say with an appreciative whistle.  "Sorry hotshot, but I think the early grave will be due to how fuckin' fast you drive.  Victory awaits, turn and burn!" she yells as she climbs into the passenger seat of my truck.  The woman is what wet dreams are made of, I swear to God.  I hop in my seat and we make our way to the beach.
We park and head straight to the sand, ready for our football game.  As per tradition, Beckham and I are on separate teams because our...aggressive competitiveness makes it unfair to the other team when we play together.  We line up, 4 v 4, and I take my usual spot across from Beckham.  They chose to play offense first, so Beck backs to pass to Rooster further down the beach.  Quick on my feet, I intercept her pass and run to our own end zone.  To celebrate, I pretend the football is a grenade and pull the pin, then throw it behind me.  Payback and Fanboy dramatically throw themselves back like there was an explosion.  "Don't worry, pretty boy. I was just giving you a head start so you don't cry when I beat your ass later" Beckham sasses. 
Many touchdowns later, we line up again.  This time Rooster is in QB position.  Beckham runs down the beach, ready to catch the pass. I take off after her and don't make it in time before she scores, but still wrap my arms around her waist and throw her over my shoulder, heading towards the door of the bar.  "Alright, my ass has been thoroughly beaten, time for beer ladies and gents!" I toss over my shoulder as Beckham squirms and smacks my back.  "Put me down, Jolly Green Giant!  Let me at least put my shirt back on!" she squeaks out between giggles.  "Oh no, darlin'.  It would be a crime against humanity to cover you up" I retort with a smirk.  I can feel her eyes roll before she goes to punch under my bicep, knowing that's my weakness so I'll put her down.  "Fine you win!  Chop chop!" I say, setting her back down on her feet.  The rest of the crew filters in the bar behind me and we drop into a booth in our unofficial corner of the bar.  Since Penny loves us, she already had our first round of drinks and snacks on the table. 
A few drinks later, Beckham and Phoenix are dancing on the bar and singing their hearts out to the lyrics of BIG MAD.  It's basically their theme song at this point and they're lucky the bar hasn't officially opened yet so there's not a crowd to watch this mess.  Granted, the girls have no shame and would still be doing this if it were packed. 
"Oh you big mad?
Oh you big mad
Got a big bag, poppin' big tags
All white Rover, yeah I whip that
Ate it up, left no crumbs 'cause this shit smack
I just sit back, let the chips stack
People juiced out of bars, yeah they shit cracked
Up the coast, I'ma holler when I get back
Got hits stacked, oh you big mad"
Beckham starts shaking her ass and that's my cue to scoop her off the bar and close our tabs.  "Alright, trouble.  Down we go!" I say, holding my hands up to her.  The best part about a drunk Beckham is that she's abnormally agreeable, and she reaches down to hold onto me.  Hands still interlocked, I turn so my back is to her, and she latched onto me like a koala. We say our goodbyes -mine much less garbled than hers- and I drop her into the truck.  I pull a Gatorade and some ibuprofen out of my center console, making her take the tablets and drink half the bottle before she gets out of the truck.  This is not my first rodeo with a drunk Beck, and a hungover Beck is worse than Satan, so I do what I can to prevent that.  With a salute, she hops out of the truck and stumbles her way to the door, and I drive away once I know she's inside safe.
I wonder what tomorrow's briefing holds, I have a feeling it's gonna be a big one.

Tumblr media
1/22/2024
Today's sky was carpeted by clouds.
Positive thing: Work was not very busy, and someone complimented my dress.
I did not have a good morning, since I woke up with this horrible anxiety that had been a very long time since I had to deal with. After it passed I was pretty much exhausted, and the tiredness followed me all day. But since I had done basically everything at work I needed to last week I had very little to do today. I mostly spent my work hours translating a Japanese 逃げ恥 fanfiction and looking up stuff about 日本三鳴鳥 (the three Japanese songbirds). There's a little green bird I always see depicted alongside Japanese plum blossoms so I wanted to figure out what it was. Apparently it's called the ウグイス (Japanese Bush Warbler) and is part of the 日本三鳴鳥 which are three songbirds that Japan is famous for. They all have a distinct song. I listened to it and it does have a unique sounding cry, although I don't really know much about birds.
Tumblr media
(This is from Wikipedia.) Look at this little guy. She has a lot to sing about I'm sure.
Well now I'm looking closer at some bird information and maybe I've been mistaking the ウグイス for the メジロ (Warbling White-Eye). Birdwatchers got it rough, man.
Tumblr media
(This is also from Wikipedia.) I can see why they called it "white-eye." They're both very pretty. I'm glad there's so many green birds out there.
Anyway, I indulged in my little guilty pleasure of watching those clickbait-y Tokyo vlog videos that are like "Top 20 Things You HAVE to Do in Japan!!!!" just because I do actually find them interesting and because I think it's funny to see what (clueless) tourists get up to. I always feel bad for everyone who has to walk around their selfie-stick vlogging because, speaking from experience, they are very annoying to walk around since they're always loudly talking to themselves and not watching where they're going.
The image these kinda videos give off of Tokyo and Japan in general is always fascinating to me. I agree Tokyo especially feels very modern and whatnot, but some people go far as to be like "this is straight out of a sci-fi novel" or "people here are so advanced". I think it's easy to forget that it's full of regular people and not some exotic land of mystery, which the thought process of just feels steeped in orientalism. Having been there myself I always wonder what they must've been seeing that I didn't, or what kind of point of view they had that I simply didn't understand. To me Tokyo felt huge and bustling but also cozy in a way, like becoming one with the crowd. And away from the city it's just so peaceful, like genuinely peaceful. But I think it's cool people can notice different things and have different experiences, even if I think some of their tourist behaviors are cringey.
Tomorrow my bosses and coworkers and I (which sounds like a lot of people but it's only 5 of us total) are going to get brunch at a fancy breakfast place, and my boss is paying, so I'm excited for that. Hopefully we can leave work early too.

Alright, theories for tomorrow's episode... this got long, so this post is entirely just theories about the Jamie plotline.
The title "Mom City" is obviously a play on Man City which is making me associate the mom that will appear in this episode with Man City/Manchester in general so... Jamie's mum appearance?? Considering that this kinda has to be the episode with the Jamie's childhood bedroom appearance in it, I'm pretty sure we're gonna get to meet Jamie's mum!
As @gottagobackintime (sorry to have tagged you if I'm not supposed to do that, still kinda new to tumblr and I'm not sure if I should tag a person if I'm mentioning/linking one of their posts?) pointed out last week in this post, 'mom' is an American and definitely not British way of addressing one's mother, and it just have easily could have been called 'Mum City' if Jamie's mum is the only Appearance Of A Mother, so I'm guessing, like most people, that Ted's "unexpected guest" (episode blurb) is going to be his own mom. Fathers and sons have been a very obvious recurring theme throughout this whole show, and two of the most prominent father-son relationships in the show have been Ted and Jamie with their fathers, so it'll be pretty sweet to see the both of them interact with their moms this episode, instead.
Ok, so Roy and Keeley are going to be worried about Jamie. My first thought was that something's going to happen to his mum, considering the episode title. But it's more likely that his doesn't-deserve-to-be-called-a-dad is going to show up again, especially considering we (and Jamie, probably) never got any closure/follow-up after the Wembley locker room scene in 2.08 "Man City" -- which, by the way, that episode title kinda mirrors "Mom City", so that's another reason to assume Tartt Sr. is going to show up again. And, Jamie was (I think?) playing at Wembley last episode for the international matches, which is, again, the sight of the last know Tartt Sr. sighting, so... does that count as foreshadowing???
Is it just me, or does Jamie literally look like he's about to cry in the promo pic/episode thumbnail? Ok, I've thought he looks like he's about to cry many times when he didn't end up crying, so maybe he just has glassy eyes, or something but. Still. I've got a feeling we might get a Jamie tear or two this episode. We're definitely getting an emotional scene I myself am I going to cry while watching, though.
I'm assuming that Richmond is going to finally beat Man City this episode. I'm really hoping that Jamie gets to put in the winning goal, because I kind of feel like narratively that just makes sense. I don't know. I like the idea of it. And, correct me if I'm wrong, but we still haven't scene Jamie make a goal on screen this season! Considering his England call up, I'm guessing he's probably scored a couple off screen, but I also don't know much about football so maybe I'm totally off. But anyways, I really hope we do get to see him score a goal at least once this season, and hopefully more than once!
Adding on to the last one, I'm trying to figure why, exactly Jamie would be doing a press conference with Roy, and so far the only thing I can think of is he scored some super amazing winning goal and they want him to talk about it. Maybe he's pointing at Roy, like, "his extra training is how I got here"? But he also looks, if not about to cry, at least pretty upset in that picture, so I really don't know what's going on there.
My other, not Jamie-related theories for "Mom City" are here.

And Another One - Casualty Hiatus Thoughts - 2/?
I'm still ill but I went into uni anyway like the brave little soldier that I am! (Every night, I decide that all the work that I need to do can be done “tomorrow” but we’re rapidly running out of those until the deadlines. I have lost my train pass and student ID. All I’ve listened to all day is the demo version of Geyser by Mitski. Vague sense of doom.) I got myself some Tesco Finest cookies on the way home. I’m just complaining here. 
I'm back for more already, seems like I've opened the floodgates but this one won't be as lengthy as the other one was. Genuinely sorry I can’t shut up. I thought I was done for a while but I put an episode from series 36 on in the background thinking that I'd be able to do stuff while it played but got distracted by my opinions.
Potentially all over the place again, though this one does manage to be mostly about the series 36 mother-hell storylines. So there's a theme. Warning - I started going off about Dark Room which has a lot of transphobia in it and that’s part of what I talked about.
I really don’t know how I feel about the resolutions of Sah and Teddy’s storylines with their mums. Okay, we already know I'm about to be going on about Sah and Teddy's mother problems storylines but I'm sure there are other characters who this is/isn't applicable to - feel free to let me know about it. As a recap: it’s kind of hard for me to figure out how to describe exactly what happens at the end of Friends Like These, but if anyone has ever seen that quote that’s like “I tried to ask my parents to leave the room, but not my life”, Teddy asks Gaynor to leave the room and she leaves his life. A couple months later a patient situation causes Teddy to call his mum (and that is not brought up again when he gets trapped in a mine in the next episode) and also we are left to assume that all is fine now. Pretty simplistically, in Enough, Sah and Jools talk it out after Kevin has another stroke and then they are also just portrayed as being okay forever by the end of that episode. 
I can absolutely believe that these characters, sad and work-stressed and not always the most emotionally mature, would forgive their mothers. I don’t even disagree with it happening on a story level because I think it could make for a really good development in those stories, or even just a less-than-happy ending. What I don’t enjoy is how these endings are presented as being happily-ever-afters and that everything is supposed to be fine now because they’ve forgiven/reconciled with their mothers who haven’t really done anything to deserve it. Jools is objectively neglectful, and telling Sah they were always enough does not make up for that. I think Gaynor’s behaviour is emotionally abusive; she’s controlling his life, emotionally manipulating him, she’s trying to even limit his contact with people other than her (and she has been doing this, he “wasn’t allowed friends”). Unless I'm wrong, we don’t see or hear from Gaynor at all between Friends Like These and We Need To Talk About Ollie. I don’t doubt they love their kids but that doesn’t make them good parents, and it’s not on their kids to be doing the work to improve the relationships. If we’re getting these forgiveness endings then Jools and Gaynor need to put more effort into proving they’ve changed. Or (and I'd probably find this more interesting cause I'm mean). Forgiveness needs to be presented as something that isn’t this simple happy ending because it doesn't feel like that in these circumstances. I respect the potential misery of the undeserved forgiveness, I love misery for them, especially when they’re both in mother-hell together, I am mean. But if you want to give them a happily-ever-after, keep them away from their mothers or make their mothers do the work. 
They make Sah be the bigger person way too much, actually. In Dark Room, why does Sah have to be nice to Scott when Scott deserves to get re-beaten to a pulp? I don’t care that his mum is also terrible. Not only did he bully them when they were teenagers, he tried to ruin their whole life as a fully grown adult. Their mum is terrible as well and you don’t see them acting like that. They don’t need to be the bigger person and try to help Scott and his also terrible mother, they need a weapon of mass destruction. Also, why is Sah’s deadname used so excessively in series 36? Or at all? Ever? I’m sure there were ways around the audience ever needing to actually know what it was, even if they felt like the story required the implication of characters using it. Another potential Casualty hot take, maybe? I don't think Sah's dad is all that great of a parent either. Obviously it is entirely Jools' fault that Sah has to be his carer at such a young age, he had no control over that and Jools is definitely the worse parent, but getting back with Jools without telling Sah, cancelling plans with Sah to go on dates with Jools, excusing Jools’ pretty transphobic remarks and acting like Sah has to forgive Jools because he has really isn’t great. They were right when they said “it’s not just you she left”. IT’S! NOT! JUST! KEVIN! SHE! LEFT! It annoys me that Casualty is like ‘this action will have consequences’ about that scene because Sah is right. The only person I truly like from Sah’s pre-joining-Casualty life is Bill Phillipsen (and his dead wife) and he died. I knew you very briefly/not at all but I miss you Bill and Jean <\3
This post is absolutely the post for me to start getting into the connections between the mother-hell storylines but I won’t in full. They are kind of this pair of opposites, not just on this wider level of overinvolved mother vs uninvolved mother, there are a lot of patterns I’ve noticed in the episodes and the dialogue. I’d find them all now but it's 2am and I need to be awake at 8am at the latest so I’m putting off compiling that list for another day. Some faves that I can remember off the top of my head: opposite Jan advice scenes, Gaynor really struggling to say she’s proud of Teddy even though he really wants her to while one of the first things Jools tries to say to Sah is that she’s proud of them and they tell her not to, “you won’t see me back if I go” vs “I’m back now if it’s not too late”. I really like these connections, that's why I'm so passionate about what I don't agree with in these storylines.
I didn't mention this in my last post but I got my hands on a bootleg of The Play That Goes Wrong with Milo Clarke as Max and it's very enjoyable. I've been meaning to watch TPTGW at least since I watched both series of the show, probably longer, and I succumbed to the Casualty brainrot and and had to see his version. All I'll say: He really knows how to play aunt based nepotism and situations that could be solved with polyamory.
Based on when one of the episodes is set to air, I don’t think we’ll see Casualty back until about December 30th, unless we are gonna have another break between episodes once it comes back. I don’t really care that much and also, Christmas/New Years episode? The most recent Christmas episode was that one where they were like “what if it was last year?” back in 2021 and that’s always been a weird choice to me. I just want a silly little festive one, normal Casualty episode featuring carol singing and tinsel and the implication of a really intense staff party (we will never get the Sah/Teddy Christmas party of my dreams, not this year cause they’re in the current situation, not last year cause no Christmas episode and also the stuff with Jan was happening then, not the year before…). The only thing that bothers me about the hiatus is the inevitable time skip, so much time will have elapsed in universe by the time it comes back so I feel like we will have missed a lot of the immediate aftermath of stuff that happened at the end of Driving Force.
