Ok listen, Gwen being killed off would be interesting because the rest of the OIAR would have to grapple with the grief and the underlying feeling of suspicion in the way she died. Like she'd be a warning that would be ignored and I think it would switch up the dynamics in a really cool way.

Kirishima x reader
Reader helps Kirishima. fluff
Kirishima’s head hurt. An ache that seemed to be in the base of skull all day. Bakugous blasts during training didn’t help at all either.
He walked slowly back to the dorms, a little quieter than usual in your group but it seemed that no one really noticed. well, no one but you that is.
As your friends talk about the movie night, one that you weren’t even planning on attending, you slip to the back of the group until you’re by him.
“Are you okay?” You ask softly and he looks over at you, the action of which makes his head throb and his eyes squint at how bright everything seemed all of a sudden. “I’ll be okay!” He says, trying to act manly “just a small headache” you nod, understand how that can be. “I get migraines all the time I understand that. Maybe I could help though”
Your quirk was called cursed growing up because with touch you could give or take anything from a persons mind and body. Your hero name is Marionette because of you trying to embrace your quirk all the way.
You hold your hand out with a tentative smile “you can trust me. I promise” you say and he smiles gently at you “I know I can. And I do” he says as his palms hits yours, lacing your fingers together.
You gasp softly at the colors your see behind your eyes before a soft chuckle falls from your lips. “What?” He asks, his voice a little worried like if you could read this thoughts or something. Which you could if that was your goal but you knew how to choose exactly what you wanted before touching someone.
“No. It’s nothing. Just. Okay let me explain while I do this and maybe you could lead me because my eyes aren’t working right and once I explain you’ll understand.” His laugh sounded worried and nervous but you just gave his hand a soft squeeze and started explaining
“When I touch someone, I get their aura and chakra color, usually a little muted color that I see behind my eyes and it doesn’t effect me. But yours Kiri, it’s so many different colors. It encompasses so much and is so full. I don’t know how to describe it. It’s so beautiful. You’re so beautiful” you use your quirk, like an extension of your soul that entered his body through your touch, now working your way through his nervous system. When you reach his brain the colors get more intense and you stop walking.
“Can I have your other hand?” You ask with a smile on your lips, vaguely aware of looking into his eyes as the rest of the class leaves you two behind. “Sure” he says and takes your other hand, his thumb rubbing yours gently sending butterflies to your heart as well as his from the ones that just erupted behind your vision.
“I wish I could show you how gorgeous this is, how gorgeous you are” you whisper as your eyes flutter closed.
The moment you touch his migraine with your quirk, it’s gone. You absorbed it into yourself and you feel the pressure build at the base of your skull. You open your eyes and look up at him as you drop your quirk, your vision normal now. “Did it work?” You ask and he nods, a peaceful smile on his lips “yes. Thank you”
You let go of his hands reluctantly and he feels his warmth go with you. He wants to hold your hand longer but since you’re just friends he assumes it would be weird.
“Hey guys!” Mineta said as you entered the dorm “movie night! Gonna watch all the Expendables” you grimace at the thought of loud explosions going to your migraine and you laugh softly “no I’m good. I should study” you say as Kirishima is all over the action. You smile as you watch him gush about fights and manliness before the headache you took from him gets worse. You sneak out before he notices.
“Why isn’t y/n here?” Deku asks and Kiri pipes up “she said she needs to study” Mina leans forward “that’s weird. She texted me she has a headache and needed to lay down” with those words Kirishima remembers overhearing you talk to Recovery Girl, your can heal and take away injury or pain, but it just puts that injury on you, it’s why you turned down an internship working with her.
He gets off the couch and runs to the elevator not listening to anyone’s protests.
The knocks on your door were gentle and you were grateful as you moved towards the door “give it back” he says when the door opens “give what back?” You ask and he steps through your door and closes it gently “give back my migraine” you laugh softly and head back to your bed “no”
“You take others pains upon yourself. I heard you say that once but I forgot. If I knew I never would have-“ you sigh “Kirishima im not giving it back” he steps for ward “why not? It’s so unmanly and a terrible friend of me to just let you take that on yourself. I know it’s little but I can handle it” you laugh and decide to say screw it.
“Come here” you say softly and pat your bed. He hesitates for a moment, his cheeks flushing. “Please. Cuddle me. Itll help” he looks at you for a moment before he’s climbing in beside you. You roll onto his chest and bury your face in his neck “Kirishima Ejirou, I won’t give it back. I don’t like seeing you in pain. I would take all of your pains away if I could” he feels his eyes water “why? Why me?” He softly asks, his hands resting against your mid back, and you sigh “because you deserve it.” You lean back and cup his cheek, rubbing your fingers over his cheek bone “Eji” you whisper “You are so manly” you say with a smile making him chuckle “you are. I mean it. You want to keep me from pain as much as I want to keep you from it. You protect and fight for your friends. You’re always there for everyone. Let me be here for you this time” you say and close your eyes, cuddling into his chest “but also don’t leave because it feels so much better now” he chuckles softly, his heart full from your words. He felt so cared for it made him all soft and he wanted to show you how much he cares about you. He hums softly, burying his face into your hair as his arms hold you close and his hands rub your back soothingly “I’m not going anywhere, I promise”

Chapter 20 : His chapter
NIALL
When Olivia left, I waited for Maya to show up. I decided to invite her home but as I was waiting for her, I changed my mind and decided that maybe it was a mistake. I didn't want to give her the wrong impression and I also didn't want to be stuck with her. It was too late though and the more I thought about what she had done, the angrier I was getting. When the doorbell rang, I literally jumped off my couch and ran to the door.
There she was, on my porch, with a large smile gracing her lips, and it made me realize I would literally have to break her heart. I breathed in and sent her a polite smile before moving out of her way.
"Come in." I simply said as she walked inside.
Her eyes lingered on all the bags still laying in the lobby and I noticed she frowned but I just closed the door and walked past her to reach the living room. I moved my hand to show her the couch and I waited until she was sitting down to take a seat on an other couch but still close to her. We remained silent for a few minutes and I looked at her as her eyes roamed around the room.
"Where is she?" she asked without looking at me.
"Who?" I frowned.
"Olivia."
I felt surprised that she asked but I didn't know what to answer. Was that a question I was required to answer?  I shook my head slightly but she finally turned back to look at me, sending me a weird look. She looked a mix of pissed and hurt and I was not sure I really understood her reaction until she talked again.
"Before we left, you told me you wanted to be alone." she added, explaining her question. "But her stuff is in the lobby. Why did you lie to me, Niall?"
I was flabbergasted by her reaction and at the same time, I was getting pissed. I didn't understand exactly what gave her the right to act possessively with me but I was clearly beyond annoyed.
"That's why I asked you to come here."
"So you're breaking up with me? For her?"
I made a grimace and shook my head.
"Wait, what?"
i didn't understand how she came up to that conclusion and I frowned more, trying to remember the conversations we had had in the past few days. I didn't remember that seeing a girl would bring all of these problems but I knew it did. It reminded me most of the girls I used to date before and how hard it was every single time because of the friendship I had with Olivia. I used to get so many questions, get into so many arguments... I knew it would be different if my best friend was a guy but that fact that she was a girl made all of my relationships so fucking complicated.  The only exceptions were girls like Heidi, who didn't see any competition when they looked at my best friend. Perhaps that was why she was the only one I still had something going on with.
"You said you didn't feel like hanging out, yet you're hanging out with her." she repeated. "She's not only your best friend, right? She's not really dating Harry?"
I took a big breath and brought my hands to my face before rubbing my eyes. I was so tired of people expecting Liv and I to be in love, so tired to have everyone telling me how I supposedly feel, so fucking tired to argue and fight about it... I was not in the mood to repeat over and over again that we were just friends and that it wasn't anyone's place to decide for us what our relationship consisted of. Plus, I was already mad at Maya for that stupid picture she posted online and that was the only thing I wanted to address at this moment.
"I am not dating Liv, she's my best friend. You know that."
"Yea, I know that the first time we almost had sex, you left when I was half naked to go take care of her. I know that you and her are close, maybe even too close, for friends. And I know that earlier you told me you didn't want to be around people yet you invited her here."
The memory of that time, a few months ago, when we almost fucked, came back to my mind. I swallowed hard at how wrong it sounded the way she just explained it and I knew I should feel guilty but I didn't. I was fine with leaving her there and yes, maybe I had just changed my mind about wanting to have sex with her but everyone makes mistakes, right? At that moment, leaving seemed like the best solution and I couldn't pretend that running away didn’t seem like a great solution to escape this ridiculous discussion, too.
"I didn't ask you to come here to talk about Olivia!"
"I don't care, Niall, I came here to make love, but clearly now i'm not in the mood anymore."
She inhaled angrily and got up, making me do the same quickly.
"I didn't invite you here to fuck, Maya!" I let out a bit too loud. "I asked you to come here about this!"
Roughly, I brought my phone closer to her face where the picture of us was posted. Her gaze moved from mine and down to the screen of my phone before her face softened slightly, turning into a guilty look.
"I thought we were dating." she explained so low I barely heard.
Her words made me even angrier than I already was and I swallowed hard all the rude words I wanted to tell her. I was not an angry person normally but in the past few days, it seemed like everything annoyed me and I became way more impulsive than my personality normally shows.
"You know damn well we're not dating, Maya." I let out in a lower tone, trying not to sound too mad. "I said I wanted to try. I said we'd start with a date."
"We kissed, too. And held hands... I thought-"
"I know." I cut her quickly, watching her facial expression turn into sadness. What was it with me, recently? Why did I hurt everyone? "I'm sorry if I gave you the wrong impression but you need to delete this picture."
She scoffed and shook her head, avoiding my eyes and I could feel the pain emanating from her body, making my anger decline slightly. I didn't want to hurt her but at the same time, we really needed to make things clear about how we felt and what we expected from this relationship.
"Do you know how many times this picture has been liked, Niall?"
I sighed loud and rubbed my eyes again, letting out a short groan. I didn't know but I could certainly take a good guess. I was also aware that someone probably took a screenshot of it in the next few seconds after it was posted. I hadn't taken the time to look at the comments but I could bet there were many and I wasn't too sure I wanted to read.
"Take the picture off." I asked again, feeling defeated. "Or at least, change the damn caption, Maya."
It took her a while but eventually, she rolled her eyes and took her phone in her purse. I waited impatiently as she typed on her phone and with a sigh, she looked up at me.
"I deleted it."
"Thank you."
I was not sure why but it felt like a weight had been taken off my shoulders and I closed my eyes. I felt lighter, like half the stress I had had just disappeared. My whole body relaxed and it's when I realized how tensed I had been. When I opened my eyes again, Maya was throwing back her phone in her purse, making sure our eyes didn't meet.
"Do you want to talk about it?" I just asked in a calmer way as she shook her head.
"Not now, Niall." she admitted, passing a hand in her hair nervously. "I need time."
"I think we need to clear up what this relationship is exactly." I insisted.
This time, she looked up right in my eyes and I knew that if looks could kill, i'd be a dead man. As I stared back at her, I realized that all these problems and fights were definitely not worth the relationship we could have and the thought made me feel guilty as shit. She stood there in front of me, extra gorgeous and fucking sexy, and I couldn't feel an ounce of regret at the thought of stopping things with her immediately. Even the way she was angrily looking at me should have been some sort of a turn on but I felt nothing and I had no idea why.
"We don't need to clear up anything, Niall." she let out harshly, putting the strap of her purse on her shoulder. "You were very fucking clear."
We stared at each other in silence for about a minute and I knew that her irritated expression hid something else, I could read it in her eyes. She expected me to say something, beg her to stay, tell her I have feelings for her... I knew it. I just didn't want to say these things and lie to her. For a few seconds, I saw sadness in her eyes but she quickly shook her head and pressed her lips together.
"Goodbye, Niall Horan."
I was almost expecting her to add something like 'I hope your dick gets bitten off by a wild animal’ but she just walked past me quickly as I stood there motionless and powerless to the whole situation. Did we just 'break up'? How can you break up with someone you weren't even dating? I shook my head to get out of my thoughts and ran behind her until the front door.
"I'm sorry!" I let out. "Are you still in for that double date?"
She stopped dead in her track and stayed without moving for a while, her back facing me, as i held the side of the door, keeping it ajar. She seemed to hesitate as I asked myself internally why the hell I had just asked that. It's not that I didn't want to try with her, it's just that clearly, we were on a different page. She wanted something steady and I just wanted to have fun.
She finally turned around slowly and I raised my eyebrows.
"!'m sure Liv and Harry are still up for it." I let out, shrugging one of my shoulders.
"But she-"
"She's my best friend." I explained a bit louder, cutting her. "Just my best friend."
I watched as her shoulders fell and she closed her eyes with a sigh. I was not sure why she wanted to try again, or why I even proposed it to her but I felt bad for hurting her and I didn't know how to make things better. The small smile she sent me proved that I did the right thing.
"Alright, call me."
The left corner of my lips raised up and I nodded.
"Sure will." I promised with a small wave.
I was a bit surprised when she blew me a kiss but I sent her a bigger smile and waited until she got in her car and drove away to get back inside and close the door behind me. I breathed in deeply, closing my eyes and leaning against the door before sighing loud. Once again, I felt like I took a wrong decision but if i wanted to be honest, it felt like a recurrent thing these day. I was trying to make Maya happy, to respect Harry and Liv's relationship, to convince everyone that Liv was just my friend and to keep all my bitter remarks to myself. I hit my head gently against the door a few times and groaned, searching for my phone in my pocket.
'I'm done. Come by whenever you want.'
I quickly hit send, not really expecting my best friend to run by my side unless it didn't go well with Harry but I still waited a few minutes against the door, trying to convince myself to move. I ended up back on the couch, laying down, scrolling through social medias when I really shouldn't. I wanted to know who had seen the picture Maya had posted and what everyone was saying but at the same time, I didn't want to.
I went back to the picture Harry had posted on instagram and my eyes caught the name of my best friend in the comments. I couldn't stop myself from reading what people had written and I felt my heart twist in my chest. I was not the kind of person to let what people say affect me but some of these comments could really put me in a bad mood, sometimes.
'Harry is dating Olivia????'
'!!!!! look how he's nuzzling her hair !!!'
'this makes me want to puke'
'I ship it!'
'I was so sure she and Niall would end up dating why is she with Harry and why is Niall with that girl?'
'IS HE DATING HER??? IS SHE A MODEL?'
'OMFG SHE'S SO PRETTY!'
'he's hot and she's hot'
'wow big surprise he's now dating a model 🙄 so predictable'
'i hope she dies'
'you guys need glasses that girl is fucking ugly'
'😭😭😭😭'
'Niall and Olivia are literally my OTP this is so fucking sad'
I blinked a few times, staring at the last comment and decided to open google to search for that term I didn't understand. Most of the reactions were not surprising but the comments about my best friend and I made my heart sink in my chest. Clearly, we were doing something wrong if everyone, including people who didn't know us, thought we had feelings for each other.
"One true pairing." I read outloud.
It took me a few seconds to realize what it meant and I cursed low, shaking my head with a sigh. After all this time being friends with Olivia, we had some random people wishing -and expecting!- us to end up together. I placed my phone on my chest and closed my eyes, trying to think of which comments seemed more off to me. The ones about me dating Maya, or the ones about me being meant to be with Liv.
I let my mind wander on some of the memories we had and it made me smile. I couldn't deny that we had amazing chemistry and that we understood each other like no one else did but at the same time, isn't it a fun part of starting a relationship? Getting to know each other? There were definitely some things I didn't know about her but I knew a whole lot and I was wondering if it would make things boring or monotone to date my best friend. There was one thing I didn't know about her but just thinking about it reminded me of my dream and I closed my eyes even tighter, trying to get rid of the images flooding my brain. There was also that time when I caught her masturbating a few days ago that seemed to appear in my mind randomly and although I had found it funny at first, now I couldn't help but wonder why the hell I remembered it so clearly and intensely.
I felt myself get harder in my pants and groaned, annoyed by how easily I was turned on. It was not like me to get hard with random thoughts, especially not about my best friend, and I sighed, passing my hand in my hair, irritated by my own behavior. I heard the doorbell ring and with a lot of effort, I jumped off the couch and walked to the door.
My heart jumped in my chest when my best friend's smiling face appeared behind it and I didn't know why. After all, I did expect her, but maybe the fact that I had been thinking about her naked only a few seconds before she got here was embarrassing me slightly.
"Oh, hey."
Her smile fell a bit and she scoffed, pushing my shoulder jokingly.
"You're the one who told me to come back here." she explained, raising her eyebrows. "I can leave if you want."
"No, no it's not you." I groaned. "Wasn't pleasant with Maya, t's'all."
I saw her frown but she took a step inside and I sighed again, turning around and walking back to the living room. I lied back down and closed my eyes again but I felt her push my legs to sit next to me.
"You're a paiiiiin in my ass." I let out dramatically but jokingly.
"But you wouldn't be happy without me."
"That's right." I confessed with a sigh, searching for her arm and pulling on it when I finally found it. "Come here."
I felt half her body laying on mine and she moved, trying to find a better way to lay with me. She ended up holding herself on my stomach and I groaned again when she hurt me a bit.
"Ouch?"
"Sorry!"
She ended up laying on her side next to me, her arm around my chest and mine around her shoulders. We remained like that for a few minutes until she finally talked.
"Is it weird that we cuddle like that?"
It took me a few seconds to understand what she said but I finally opened my eyes and turned her way, my face in her hair and a lock of it sticking to my lips. I didn't want to answer because I didn't know what to answer. I wanted to say no, and if she had asked me that a few months before, that would have been my answer. But now, everyone seemed to say that things had changed and that our friendship was not normal. Some people even wanted us to be together, which was a new thing for me and kind of hard to assimilate. I was not lying to myself and I had no idea why everyone thought so. I had a few moments of weakness where I actually lusted my best friend, big deal.
"We've always cuddled like that." I just replied, pointing out the obvious.
She looked up in my eyes and I sent her a smile. I was not sure if it was fake or not but she answered it and after a while, I tapped her arm a few times and sat up.
"Come on, I'll prepare some food for us, what do you say?"
She followed me to the kitchen and reached for the fridge, opening it and bending down to take a look inside. My eyes fluttered close and I groaned again at the sight, deciding I had been abstinent for way too long if I was about to think about sex every single time my best friend was bending down. I couldn't get hard whenever I saw some skin, I was not 16 anymore, and the whole thing sounded so juvenile that I was starting to be mad at myself.
"Pancakes night." I just said, trying to think about something else than how horny I was.
She giggled and I opened my eyes again, noticing she was holding the milk and flour in her hands. I smiled back and shrugged, not really surprised we had thought about the same thing. We started preparing everything and without any surprise again, she dropped an egg on the floor and spilled floor over it. I hated messes, that was a fact, but watching her face all white with powder as she tried to clean her mess was more endearing that I could admit.
"You're such a clumsy ass." I chuckled, bending down to help her.
"Yea, and you're an asshole." she joked, avoiding my eyes as she used a paper towel to clean the egg. It escaped her fingers and she cursed in a whisper.
"Actually, Maya said-"
"Maya can go fuck herself."
We both stopped moving at the same time, startled by her harsh words and I moved my head up very slowly to look at her. Her lips were parted and I could even swear I saw her bottom one shake slightly.
"I mean..."
Her words lingered in the air, turning the atmosphere upside down until she sighed and closed her eyes.
"I'm sorry, I know you and her have something going on but I just, I don't know. She gives me a bad vibe."
I raised my eyebrows in shock realizing she felt for my sort-of relationship exactly what I felt for her sort-of relationship. It was weird and sad at the same time, especially that we both seemed to enjoy each other's company more.
"You and Harry give me a bad vibe too."
She looked up and her eyes met mine. I didn't know why my heart jumped in my chest again but it did and I just accepted it.
"I know."
We stayed motionless for a while but eventually, we finished cleaning and kept on cooking in silence. It's only when we sat at the table to eat that I dared to look at her. She was sitting besides me and I poured some syrup on my pancakes as she was grabbing the butter, spreading some on hers. She looked sad and I hated it. All I wanted was to see her smile again. i dipped one of my fingers in the syrup and quickly wiped it on her cheek. She held her breath as I started laughing and she finally turned to me, sending me angry eyes. I knew she wasn't really mad but the sight was hilarious and I laughed again.
"Oh hey, Liv, you’ve got something on your cheek." I chuckled, getting up. "Let me help you with it."
Quickly to make sure she didn't have time to react, I bent down and licked her cheek, making her scream in a high-pitched voice. I burst into laughter again as she rubbed her hand on her cheek. I let myself fall on my chair again and when I opened my eyes, she was smiling widely at me.
"Just for that smile, it was worth it."
Her eyes softened and her smile turned into a fond one. At that exact moment, I would have given anything to find out what was going on in her head but I just reached for her hand and squeezed her fingers.
"Come on, eat." I proposed, moving my chin her way.
She reached for the bottle of syrup and put it out of my reach, making me laugh again. I didn't want to hear about what happened between Harry and her, and I didn't want to tell her about Maya and I's conversation. All I wanted was to spend time with her, pretending no one else was important. I just wanted to pretend things were exactly the way they were a few months ago because If I wanted to be honest, that's precisely how I thought things should be: me, her, and no one else.

soulmate (fionn whitehead x reader)
@likeapinkocean requested “Hey I was wondering if you could do an imagine where fionn and y/n are good friends and both star on Dunkirk. One day, all the boys (Tom, Jack and Harry and all that) decide to go see a psychic for the fun of it and fionn doesn’t really believe it but goes anyway. And the psychic tells fionn that y/n is his soulmate and they met multiple times in their past lives. Then they are all together and the boys tease him about it and force him to tell him, he likes you. He then goes to your hotel room and tells you he loves you. I know it’s big but I just thought it would be an interesting idea. I love your writing btw ❤️💕”
Forgot to mention requests are always open in my previous stuffs so yeah :)
—–
“That’s a good take,” Chris was standing next to the camera as Y/N, Fionn, and Harry stood shivering in the water. It was 30 or something degrees out and had been raining non-stop. Chris, being the angel he is, thought this was the perfect weather to shoot the scene where your character, Liz, meets the boys under the docks. She went to Dunkirk in her sick twin brother’s place and passed as a boy until her hat fell off in this scene. It felt like their millionth take, and the three of them were freezing. It didn’t help that the rest of the guys got to stay back at the hotel.
“Can we go now, Chris?” Harry was rubbing his hands together while Fionn was jumping up and down trying to stay warm. “We’re so bloody cold.”
“But we still have-”
Chris was cut off by Y/N sneezing rapidly six times in a row. Fionn laughed a little and wrapped his drenched trench coat around your shoulders. All it really did was weigh her down, but Fionn was only trying to help. As the three stood shivering, Chris sighed.
“Fine. But only because Y/N is getting sick. Can’t have our only lead gal die on set.”
“Thank you!”
The three of you were already out of the water and running over to your trailers before he could finish his sentence. They had been filming that same scene from 3 am that morning, and Y/N was more than ready to head back to the hotel and meet up with the rest of the guys. It was a crazy male-heavy set for being the only female lead, but the guys were her best friends anyways. Sure, there are a bunch of cliche “make-up artist/wardrobe person is my best friend” type of thing, and Jordan was one of her friends. It’s just he was in a different hotel and they rarely see each other off-set.
He always made sure you were out of your costume and dried up before heading back, and Y/N loved him for that. He was a sweetheart, and always took care of her.
While pulling your hoodie and shorts on behind the screen, Fionn’s wardrobe/make-up artist burst into her trailer.
“What,” Jordan hung up Liz’s coat and costume on the rack for tomorrow.
“Fionn said you had the trench coat and I wasn’t sure if-”
Jordan looked puzzled as Y/N stepped out from the screen. She smiled sheepishly as she handed it to Fionn’s make-up/wardrobe person while mouthing “sorry.”
Jordan held a strained smile until they went out the door and then turned to face Y/N. “Did you steal Fionn’s coat as a prank, because that is not-”
“No, nope.” Y/N grabbed her wristlet from the table and pulled on her hood. “I sneezed, he thought I was cold…”
“Oh, okay. Have fun!”
“Thanks!”

We decided to go grab some pizza. It took at least 45 minutes for us to decide, Tom wouldn’t stop cracking gross jokes, Barry discredited everything on Yelp, Harry and Cillian were having their own conversation, Jack was stealing a nap, and Anuerin, Y/N, and I were on our phones texting each other restaurants. We eventually agreed on the pizza place and asked Barry about it. He agreed and we were on our way.
The pizza was fine, we ordered three pizzas and dug in. Y/N only had two slices, we were eating the rest. I must be looking at her a lot ‘cause Tom kept elbowing me and muttering “penis” when he caught me looking at her. I couldn’t help it. She was- she was just everything. Eventually she left the table to go talk to some friends from set or something.
I kind of kept to myself, didn’t really start any conversations, drank light. It was weird. Normally, I wouldn’t be as conservative.
“Okay,” Barry slipped into the seat next to me. Tom had a few beers and was probably flirting with someone catastrophically. I didn’t even notice he left. “I get it. You’re into Y/N.”
“What are you talking about,” I twisted the bottle in my hand around in my hands.
“Everyone knows.” Cillian smoothly sat down on my other side and slung his arm around my shoulders. “Like, everyone.”
“I thought this was Tom’s thing.”
“Well,” Anuerin stole a swig from Jack’s drink. “It’s kinda obvious.”
“Kinda?” Jack leaned back in his chair with a slice of pizza. “It’s veryyyyy obvious. I think Chris even knows.”
“Naw,” Harry said. “Chris is too clueless for this.”
“Okay,” I took a swig. I couldn’t believe this was happening. “So what I like Y/N. She’s really-”
“Yeah, yeah,” Harry said. “We know. But you’re starting to be a creep.”
“But I don’t think she notices it-” Anuerin started.
“But we do and it’s fucking weird.” Harry finished.
“Look,” Cillian ordered another drink and slid it from one hand to another. “She’s a great gal, and I totally approve of your relationship-”
“They don’t have one,” Tom said. “But I’m sure all his eroti-”
“That’s disgusting.”
“Anyways,” Anuerin shot a dirty look at Tom. “Last night after you left us playing Skyrim in Jack’s room, we decided to tell you to tell Y/N you like her.”
“Okay?” I awkwardly shot a glance at Y/N that everyone caught. “Good advice, but I don’t really want to, so-”
“Just do it, mate.” Harry was half-drunk and threw his head down on the table. “Nike preaches good stuff.”
“Let me rephrase,” I started again. “I don’t want to ruin a perfectly good friendship.”
“True,” Jack said. “But aren’t you willing to take that risk?”
“No,” I treasured it too much. The next best thing to a romantic relationship was what Y/N and I had now. “And Y/N’s coming. Shut up, pay your own bill, and we should head back.”
“Party pooper,” Barry led the boys to grab their checks to pay, and I paid for Y/N’s tab also. We headed out the door and she caught up with me.
“Hey,” she said.
“Hi.”
“Thanks for paying, you really didn’t have to,” she reached for her wristlet’s zipper.
“Oh, no. It’s fine.”
“But I insist,” she stepped in front of me and held the money out.
“No,” I casually sidestepped her and she groaned.
“God, Fionn! You stubborn ass.”
“Thanks.”
“Really- just let me-”
“Y/N,” I spun around to face her. “C'mon, Y/N. Let me so this for once please. Let me be the responsible friend this one time.”
“Alright,” she tucked her hair behind her ear and I felt the sudden urge to step closer.
Before my instincts could react, Tom yelled from twenty paces back.
“Oi,” Tom said, staggering a bit. “There’s a psychic!”
“That’s great, Tom!” Barry propped him up on his shoulders. “We should head back, you’re completely wasted.”
“But I wan’ my fortune tolddddd,” he tripped his way back to the door and tried giving puppy eyes to Cillian. “Pleaseeee?”
Cillian sighed. “Fine.”
“Wha- I can’t believe it!” I spoke out. “We don’t have time to waste money and time on that shit!”
“C'mon,” Harry slung his arm around Fionn, who awkwardly dodged it. “It’ll be fun. Just act like you believe.”
“It’ll be good practice,” Y/N added.
“Fine.”
“YEA,” Tom waltzed in the shop, the rest of them awkwardly following. “‘Ello, ma'am! Can I get my fortune told? Here’s five.”
The psychic looked from him to the rest of us. “Of course. Sit down.”
“Cool,” Tom plopped down on the floor.
“You’d best stop drinking restlessly in bars, someone might come along. It’s up to your actions whether she’ll stay or not.”
“Whoa,” Tom’s eyes widened. “Is she hot?” “My turn!” Barry said, trying to divert the psychic’s attention.
“You are a sweet boy. Don’t do drugs.”
“What?”
“Someday, someone will offer you flour for a cake. Don’t take it.”
“Okayyy.”
“This is hilarious,” Harry whispered.
“You,” she pointed to Harry. “A baby is somewhere in your future.”
“Alright, ma'am.”
“I mean- the near future. The next woman you -um- will bear your child.”
“Oh dear,” Harry stood frozen. “That’s some news.”
“I actually believe that,” Cillian awkwardly stepped forward. “And me?”
“Someday, you will meet someone who seems familiar. They are not like they were in your past lives, be sensitive to them.”
Cillian nodded. He always spoke about horoscopes and probably believed her.
“The one falling asleep shouldn’t be the designated driver,” she said. “Or many people will be led to a watery death.” “I’ll tell him when he wakes up,” Harry said, patting Jack on the back. He stood up a bit before falling back asleep. “You,” she pointed vaguely in my direction.
“Me?”
“Yes you. And the girl?”
Y/N had been hiding behind Cillian and Barry. She stepped forward. “Ma'am?”
The psychic cocked her head to the side. “Are you two a couple?”
“No,” We said a bit too quickly. “Definitely not.”
“You two have met in many past lives. Soulmates, definitely. Mostly ending in happy relationships, a couple affairs. I think you were even once Lord Byron, and you his sister.”
Cillian stifled a laugh as he saw Y/N’s hand fly up to her mouth and my shocked face.
"Oh," she looked from me to Y/N and back again. "Wait, never mind." “Thank you,” Anuerin said quickly before handing her a twenty and we started out of the shop. Everyone else went ahead; Barry was trying to stop Tom from running in the street, Cillian was trying to parent them, Harry and Y/N were laughing about something, Jack was slowly trailing them, and I waited for Anuerin outside of the shop.
As she took the money, she bent down and whispered something in his ear. He nodded and made his way over to me, we walked in silence for a couple blocks before he broke it.
“You should really tell Y/N how you feel,” he said. “I know you’re scared to-”
“Did that psychic put you up to this? And I really don’t want to, Aneurin.”
“No, kinda, not really? Look,” he stopped in front of me and turned around. “I know exactly how you feel, and it’s so worth it in the end. I almost didn’t tell my wife and -well- look where we are now? I know it’s terrifying, but if you truly want a relationship with Y/N, you should tell her.”
“Bu- but what if-”
“So it’ll be awkward for the rest of the shoot and for press tours, but what if she likes you, too. Fionn, we’re all rooting for you and Y/N here. Even Tom in his own very strange way.”
“How am I supposed to do it? This has never really happened for me.”
“Just talk to her,” we were at the hotel and Anuerin held the door open for me. Everyone else waited in the lobby. “You’ll figure it out.”
Anuerin walked over to Cillian and exchanged a few words with him. Cillian nodded casually yelled out, “Fionn, go take Y/N to her room.”
Y/N rolled her eyes as she stepped into he elevator. Normally we would all escort her to her room, hers was one floor above ours, before heading back down through the stairs. It certainly wasn’t the first time one of us had to take her to her room. “Fine, Cillian.”
I smiled awkwardly at her as we piled in the elevator. They pushed the number of her floor first, and we headed up. Nobody else got on, and it was a quick trip up. We got out and headed to her room.
—–
“Thanks,” Y/N said. “Again for taking care of my tab.”
Fionn chuckled. “What is with you and the tab? C'mon, Y/N! You have to let me take care of you sometime.”
“But you always do! I feel so bad that I can’t really take care of you and the guys so-”
“Actually,” Fionn stopped once we got to my door. “I need some help. ‘Bout someone, I mean.”
Y/N faked a huge reaction before unlocking the door and letting him in. “Ohmygosh finally! Tell. Me. Everything! Who is it?”
Fionn raised his eyebrows in the cute way he did sarcastically all the time and shrugged. “Can’t tell you but she’s one of the best people I’ve eve- no- the best person I’ve ever met.”
“Oh,” Y/N plopped down on the side of her bed and Fionn took a seat in the armchair next to it.
“What?”
“It’s just- I had this really strange feeling it was going to be a guy- like Harry or-”
“God, no! Who do you think I am, Y/N? I mean, Harry’s my mate! Well, so is the girl.”
“Keep going.”
“She’s been one of my best friends since we first met and I always seem to want to be around her. I don’t know if it was her smile or her amazing sense of humor or-”
“Get to the details Romeo!”
“I thought those were the details but okay,” Fionn faked offense. “I just- she’s one of my closest friends and I’m scared to ruin the friendship.”
“Fionn,” Y/N said. “You are a great guy and if someone rejects you screw them.”
Fionn laughed. “I would love to screw them, actually.”
Y/N exaggerated a gasp. “So there’s two people?!”
“That’s hilarious but I really need help,” Fionn put his head in his hands. “How am I supposed to tell her? Is there a monologue I can use, will a song work?”
“Hey, it’s okay.” Y/N patted him on the back. “Just- just tell her you love her.”
“And that would work?”
“If it would work for me, it’ll work for her.”
Fionn got up and started to leave as Y/N went to her door.
“Good luck,” she said, opening it. “I know it’ll go great!”
“Thanks a lot, Y/N,” he said, going back towards the elevator.
“'Night!”
Y/N started closing the door when she heard Fionn call her name from down the hall.
“Yeah?” She opened the door again and stuck her head out.
“'Love you.”
“Love you, too.” She responded instinctively before closing the door again.
It wasn’t until after Y/N had walked three steps away from the door hat she realized what Fionn had said to her. As soon as she did, she ran back out the door to the almost closing elevator with him inside. She quickly reopened it and stepped inside, pulling him into a kiss. May be they were soulmates after all.

Alana what are u repressing was this that bad Alana i mean the escort thing was hella annoying
Ariel I don't want to talk about it.
Andrina ariel, i get that, i do but-- you realize that is repressing it too right?
Aquata then why keep bringing it up

Ariel I don't know. I don't know what to do. I don't want to talk about it and I want to forget it but I don't want to forget everything because that's not going to help either I just didn't realize thinking about Mom would hurt this much Ariel I'm sorry
Andrina well i think we should all talk about it then. rip it off like a bandaid
Ariel I didn't know I would see her down there Ariel I didn't know I would see
Alana you didnt know you would see our dead mum in the land of the dead
Aquata ....
Ariel I didn't think I would watch her die.
Alana [unsent] lmao same tho but not mum ok woops nope Alana it was one of the Alana idk underworld things
Ariel Over and over again and I couldn't stop it.
Alana they play tricks on you so ive heard in the gossip train
Andrina oh right like it wasnt real it wasnt how she actually died
Ariel But what if it was? Ariel It was so awful Ariel It's all I can see, just replaying and replaying over and over
Aquata then drink the water
Alana yeah jeez Alana no point in being noble if you cant lift your own head up
Ariel But then I'll forget the good things, too.
Andrina how about you tell us all the good things?
Alana such as,,
Ariel The good things that happened and all the good stuff I remembered.
Andrina you write them down for yourself
Alana very detailed
Andrina then you'll still have them. you can remind yourself and we can tell you that its real
Ariel But can you tell me how it felt? All those memories with Jim being so nice to me and helping me and playing with me when we were younger and telling me that he would keep me safe? Ariel Can you tell me about how Jim was there for me every step of the way? Ariel How can you explain how good of a person he was to me if you can't tell me about seeing Mom's death?
Aquata holy shit it was a fake life you know him in real life, right? you know what hes like already
Alana look kiddo, that's the stuff you gotta let go of because that was some fake mumbo jumbo past that we all got stuck with
Andrina That's why you write it all down and you tell yourself. Andrina and honestly yeah-- that isnt the real jim and you should like jim for jim, not for fake jim.
Ariel But it was real Jim that was there with me in hell
Aquata i was engaged but whatever
Ariel I mean - it was Pleiades too, but it was also Jim
Aquata HOLY SHIT NO IT WASNT Aquata IT Aquata WAS Aquata FAKE
Alana yah thank god or andrina and al would be banging
Aquata that crazy bitch created it. it wasnt real. end of story.
Andrina the horror, the horror,
Ariel Jim being with me in hell wasn't FAKE, it was REAL. I was there. I saw it and felt it all, and so did he. The past lives may have been fake but what we went through was REAL
Andrina Seriously-- I think you should write down the stuff that you like then. I do. Jim will understand that the other stuff is just too painful to death with right now. He'd want you to be okay, Ariel, however you need to be okay.
Alana ariel i have no bloody idea what you want us to tell you that andrina has not repeated ten times now
Aquata then do what andy said, write down the good memories, and drink the damn water because you cant complain about the bad and then immediately not want to forget the good
Alana atty where r u we need parental guidance
Andrina ok chill out aquata she can complain if she wants Andrina we dont need atty to be decent fucking sisters
Alana she listens to atty
Ariel It's okay, nevermind. I shouldn't have said anything. Just forget it
Alana so i think itll mean more coming from her Alana fineee just trying to help
Andrina Ariel, it's not okay. Look, if you don't want to forget about it, then thats' fine. If you want to like, talk about it and stuff, we should talk about it. I joke but yeah it wasnt exactly fun not knowing where my sisters were and watching daily executions by some whacked out nutjob
Andrina so you can talk to me ok
Ariel I just want to know how you guys have done this for so long
Alana done what
Attina Look, everyone. Nothing about this experience was something anyone has gone through before. Which means we have no idea how to deal with it and YELLING at each other isn't the way to fix it. We need to be patient and understanding towards one another. Ariel, I'm so sorry about what you went through. But, you have to realize that you hurt us by LEAVING. You didn't tell anyone where you were. I thought you were dead. Daddy thought you were dead. I thought I'd lost you and I don't know exactly what went on for you but for a good twelve hours, all /I/ could see was /you/ dying over and over in a thousand different ways. We need to come /together/, and be open and willing to talk to each other during times like this. Otherwise we'll just splinter apart, and I know none of you want that.
Alana oh there u r
Ariel I thought I was doing the right thing. Not telling anyone I was going. I didn't want anyone to worry. I just wanted to go and save everyone, but I couldn't
Attina No. You couldn't. Because we're supposed to make these decisions /together/ as a family. We're weak apart.
Aquata we're not weak
Ariel I don't believe that
Alana whoa okay speak for yourself Alana that was for atty not u ariel
Andrina look im just so glad that you're okay and im proud of you for trying ariel. we shouldn't be talking about any of this over text though
Attina and this is exactly why all of you get into trouble!
Ariel I don't know how else to talk about it Ariel No one ever does
Andrina well that means we can't do it wrong huh? we'll all just kinda fumble it up together but at least we'll be in the same room
Ariel If I get into trouble for trying to save you all, then I'm fine with that!
Alana better get into trouble than be boring
Attina I'd rather be boring and alive than whatever you think you're being and /dead/.
Alana im not sure who youre yelling at here because im not the one who ran off into the land of the dead Alana theres a difference between oh lana broke curfew and oh ariel and kid hero jim hawkins decide to save the world
Andrina can we like not yell at each other at all how about that Andrina whats done is done
Ariel If Attina would stop pretending she knows everything, maybe there wouldn't be any yelling
Aquata holy shit
Alana i think you scared her off ariel
Andrina i hereby move to wipe this text history and start over Andrina who seconds my motion
Ariel I didn't want to scare her off, she just was talking like I didn't know what I was doing
Attina I don't think I know everything, but I know not to run off to HELL to try to save the world on some selfish delusion of grandeur.
Ariel I knew what I was doing
Alana ohp too late andy
Attina oh really, is that why you're so terrified you can barely speak?
Ariel I wasn't being SELFISH, I was trying to SAVE everyone. To save YOU. And Aquata and Alana and Andrina and Arista and Adella and Daddy and myself Ariel EVERYONE
Attina BULLSHIT ariel, we were perfectly fine.
Ariel You were SLAVES Ariel we were SLAVES Ariel people were in a JAIL in PRISON Ariel people were EXECUTED Ariel How could you even say that?
Attina THOSE PEOPLE WEREN'T /US/ THEY DON'T MATTER
Alana this isnt some YA book a 17 year old does not save the day Alana i mean realistically
Ariel Of course they matter!
Alana if you wanna do something you gotta work within your means
Ariel Why are our lives more valuable than anyone else's??
Alana cold, atty
Ariel I can't believe you would even say that!!! Ariel What if Paul had been in prison?? His life doesn't matter???
Attina not as much as yours, or any of you.
Ariel That's not right
Attina and i'm sure he'd say the same thing. his babies are more important than me to him. which is how it should be.
Andrina glad we're casually debating morals and ethics
Alana anyone want a face mask
Ariel I'm not going to apologize for doing what I thought was the right thing, for trying to help everyone
Aquata how about a shot instead
Alana im game
Attina I'll take that shot.
Andrina this reminds me of something my darling mcwiggin said to me
Attina Or two or three. Attina just give me the whole bottle.
Aquata or the whole bottle
Alana jinx now you guys cant talk till i say your name
Aquata too bad 
Alana what did mcwiggin say
Andrina nice, digital high five
Alana wow now you get 7 years of bad luck aqua :C
Andrina he said, andrina, you are the most beautiful creature i've ever seen Andrina (we'd just finished making love under the sunset) Andrina and i was like u know what al tiberius mcwiggen
Aquata shit im doomed forever
Alana that's poetic
Andrina you're right.
Attina now i need two bottles
Alana next movie night's gonna be awkward when we pick up the dvd
Aquata you need to go hit him up andy Aquata were sending you to get it
Andrina alas, it cannot be Andrina he has another lover
Ariel Maybe if she gets drunk she'll actually step off her high horse and say something that doesn't involve her knowing what's best and always being right
Aquata for fucks sake
Alana i h8 to break it to you ariel but atty has like nine years more experience of like existing in the world Alana and interacting with it
Ariel That doesn't make her right about everything
Attina Whatever, Ariel. You're the one who needs to come off your high horse. Don't come crying to me when someone knocks you off it.
Alana makes her more right when it comes to dealing with shit
Ariel I won't. You'd just yell at me, anyways. It's all you know how to do.
Alana thats not true she cleans very well
Andrina she also makes killer lemon squares
Attina Well if you weren't a brat, then I wouldn't yell at you.
Andrina probably not as delicious as the delicacies that al tiberius mcwiggin purchased for me from the market but close
Alana you gotta hit him up
Ariel I'm not being a BRAT, don't CALL me that
Andrina he has another LOVER what am i to do

Alana nice use of the shrug emoji, atty Alana 10/10
Ariel I am NOT acting like one! You can't keep treating me like I don't know anything and like you know everything because you DON'T. Just because you're older that doesn't make you all wise or something. In fact, most of the time you don't know what to do - you can't even flirt with a boy and you're way older than I am! Ariel So STOP being such a rude, bossy know-it-all, I'm sick of it!
Aquata ummm im pretty sure she /can/ flirt with a boy considering shes been on a couple dates with paul?
Alana ouch ariel low blow
Aquata thats neither here nor there though
Andrina oh right we also did the flying ninja Andrina his form was impeccable Andrina for such a robust man, he's graceful in the bedroom
Attina Fine, if you want me to stop babying you. FINE. Consider it done. You're officially NOT MY CONCERN.
Alana i did not need that imagery thanks
Ariel GOOD. I don't NEED to be your concern. I SHOULDN'T be.
Alana is THIS random CAPS thing something WE'RE doing NOW

[01:56] セン: hi i went to study baseball. [01:56] セン: um. [01:57] セン: drawing yozora with a baseball bat is a missed opportunity. [02:00] セン: okay so maybe its for aesthetic. [02:00] セン: so [02:00] セン: thats fine [02:00] セン: but [02:00] セン: hear me out [02:00] セン: i now have opinions on yozora/sena for baseball [02:06] セン: so in baseball, theres one designated catcher, apparently, who acts as the backbone and effectively works as the leader with the most important job out of everyone, because they're the only one that gets to see the entire field and give instructions to others
that's yozora because she's club leader, and effectively club can't happen without her orders, but also because she's the smartest, schemiest person in the club, so it makes sense for her to strategize for her team. it also comes with the heavy burden of responsibility and getting hurt a lot to try and catch the ball (see ch. orion for more info)
for maximum efficiency, the catcher has to work effectively with their pitcher. the pitcher can be swapped in, usually they swap every 5 people or so, because a pitcher's work is super demanding; this means that the catcher has to know each person well enough to maximize their throw-catch rate, which essentially falls to the leader anyway, aka its still yozora-best-fit there [02:11] セン: now the pitcher usually consists of 4/5 people on rotation, so it could be literally everyone else on the team who's eligible for play (rika, yukimura, sena, kodaka) but the reason why its super important for sena to be the pitcher and for yozora to be the catcher is because of personal catchers
Because of the close mental relationship and trust that a successful pitcher must have with his catcher, a number of catchers throughout history have become preferred by pitchers on their teams, to the point that the catcher will almost always (especially during the regular season) start along with the pitcher. The catcher is then informally referred to as that pitcher's personal catcher. Personal catchers are often used for pitchers that specialize in throwing knuckleballs, due to the difficulty of catching such an inconsistent and erratic pitch.
you can theoretically swap out any pitcher during the game, sure, but you can't swap out catchers if i understand it correctly. literally anyone else on the team could be a catcher but they wouldn't have the same synergy as a leader would after they've bonded with everyone unless they did the same thing
which, technically, none of them have except for kodaka, and he sucks ass at everything to begin with, so he's not even qualified physically to do it and placing bets on him to do it would weaken the team performance significantly [02:24] セン: its like trying to get aigis instead of minato to lead the team in p3; like yeah itll work but at what cost
anyway yozora's secondary is sena in terms of performance, but since she's lacking in the social awareness department it's very difficult for her to accurately guess what her pitcher's going to do, and i'm not even going to get started on rika/yukimura if that's the case
so finally, why is sena the perfect personal pitcher?
Personal catchers are often used for pitchers that specialize in throwing knuckleballs, due to the difficulty of catching such an inconsistent and erratic pitch.
a. she's definitely wanting to throw knuckleballs. since they're almost a sure-fire way of leading the opponent batter astray, this means that all she has to do to ensure an out for the opponent team is to get her own team's catcher to just. catch shit. b. her stamina, strength and recklessness probably already add onto the effectiveness of the top -- the winning strategy here is to be as chaotically powerful as possible, which she does (see ch. orion for more details) and because it's a solo play she's allowed to go ffa instead of holding back to help her team out
c. i point out the synergy between yozora and sena in the following - i. werewolf (hotsprings) - ii. basketball (orion) - iii. romancing saga 2 (drk/pld)
tldr they're super fucking gay, but also yozora is able to go through the impossible mental gymnastics to support/hinder sena and it shows. because of how good their game rapport is even especially without communication, their tactics on the field are going to be amazing with how crazy sena's pitches will get and how yozora will do almost anything to get herself to follow through and catch them
d. sena is probably going to be able to last the excrutiating work of pitching on the field for longer than anyone expects, which means more impossible hits for the opposing team, which means a higher chance of winning the game [02:28] セン: e. as long as sena isn't the catcher (i think), she can also bat against the other team, and we know she'll be good at batting because of how much physical prowess she has. itll be especially good because the batter is the only offensive one on the field at that point of time, with everyone else on the benches as the opponent team fills up the field with defense -- she'll basically have a trip exerting herself on solo-mode if she's made to bat (which is entirely possible) e.i. also she's probably super lucky so she'll get to make a lot more successful hits than expected e.ii. yozora would probably be terrible at batting, but not to say she doesn't try -- she'll probably be one of the better batters on the team overall, but normally catchers don't take the offensive, they stay on defense (haha like a tank)
[02:29] セン: most of the reason they'd make a good battery pair just lies in c but a and b are also really good points, d and e are just if im not wrong [02:30] セン: f. yozora literally bleeds for sena i cant stress this enough (orion) so like her being the catcher is totally fucking apt because they have to be super padded to play catcher otherwise they'll be injured like 90% of the time [02:30] セン: thank you for coming to my ted talk,
[02:41] セン: hi im gonna run over some tldr quotes from butterfly soup to hammer in the idea of yozora/sena is literally perfect especially when put into the baseball allegory
(Noelle pitching) "Noelle doesn't have enough upper body strength to throw it that far."
"With a knuckleballer pitching, the catcher has to focus so hard on stopping it that runners on base will have an easier time stealing." "So basically, it's hard to throw right, it's hard to control even when it's done right, and it's punishing if you miss." "Knuckleball is the pitch of someone with nothing left to lose."
- The ball ricochets off Liz's mitt and catches her bare hand, striking her thumb at a painful looking angle. - Liz's thumb has turned a swollen purple. "Are you okay?" "I'll live..."
"I chose it because... uh.... it's hard to catch." "So Diya has to be the one to catch it. Since it'll hurt everyone else." "Diya's immune to it because she's special."
"Is it really that surprising? Diya (catcher) has always been good at sports." "No, but you don't understand! This goes beyond being 'good at sports'!" [02:58] セン: "A lot of knuckleball pitchers end up having one catcher who specializes in catching that pitch just for them. They're called personal catchers. The two of them get traded together, as a set. It's like a weird baseball marriage." "I should learn how to throw a knuckleball, and you can catch it for me!" "Wait, but didn't they just say it's really hard to catch?" "So what? You're like a baseball goddess!"
(Min, as pitcher) "I don't need anyone. I'll do everything all by myself. I'll become so happy and successful that everyone who was ever bad to me have to beg on their hands and knees for me to forgive them."
