#drabble and brainrot will always have me in their clutches

[johnslittlespoon]

ok okokk i may be pushing it but i just cant stop picturing barry circa 2012 with leaving!bucky. i just feel like theyd have the cutest dynamic ever. he gives art student vibes like maybe hes studying film or literature. theyre childhood bestfriends and maybe they were eachother's homoerotic-codependent-friendship canon event. UGHH theyd be so cute stfuu. and maybe bucky and gale are already established and curt is just yearning for a whileee like over a year of slow burn until the three of them are a throuple... idk i just miss curtbuckbucky. you dont have to change your canon for the long fic i just needed to share this idea lmfao

au post | NO ur not pushing it this is such fun world building teehee <33 genuinely this is gonna help me later for drafting! (FUCK MY LIFE HOW IS THIS 2K WORDS. i thought i only had a few thoughts... i was so wrong. my bad chief. enjoy/suffer ig)

ok so this is so funny because i've actually been thinking ab how sweet those two would be together, cute little nerdy besties, and how they'd meet because of course curt has to be in this fic!!

and the first thing my mind went to was the cliche homoerotic codependent friendship trope too LMAO. i'm feeling like maybe they meet on the first day of highschool; neither of them share their english class with any friends, and they end up sat next to each other, and john keeps side–eyeing him because curt looks... interesting. (ie: deep into his emo phase. the fringe. the smudged eyeshadow. chipped black nail polish, band shirts– all things john does not let him live down as they grow up.)

but his eyes settle on some pin on curt's jacket that has some character from his favourite movie or something, and the yap jumps out, john can't control it. blurts out a "you like ___ too?!" and curt's head snaps over and he nods nervously and john takes one look at those big sad charcoal–ringed blue puppy eyes and is like yup. this is the one. will protect with my life.

(tiny headcanon that rly won't have a big effect on plot or anything, but i feel like it just fits very well with john/his character in leaving– dude's got madddd undiagnosed adhd. he's written off as a loud mouth/troublemaker in his childhood, but he wants to be a good kid, his mind is just always going too fast and sitting still is torture and his parents get frustrated and don't look into the root of the problem, trying to discipline it out of him instead. i will heal my inner child by healing him alright)

they're attached at the hip from that moment on and it makes sense to no one because they seem like complete opposites, curt more inclined towards the arts and bookish things and his friends are all the same, whereas john is more inclined towards athletics and science and hangs around that type of crowd as well. but they both love video games and movies and music and they bond over never really feeling like they fit in anywhere particular and both groups of friends get along just fine when they all get together. <3

but yk time goes on, they learn things about themselves as they grow up, and curt and john are so close and spend so much time together that they're already a lot closer than regular friends– they just don't realize it. they think nothing of cuddling up on the couch watching movies together, or sharing a bed when john stays over at curt's place after he gets into a fight with his parents, or being much more interested in spending time together than pursuing girls.

and curt's pretty– john nearly mistakes him for a girl that first day they meet. the summer before their senior year, john practically spends the whole summer at curt's house, and curt's mom doesn't mind; she works long hours and is glad her son isn't spending the summer moping around indoors alone, and she loves john and gets the feeling that her home is a sanctuary for him. one day they're in the backyard lazing around, and they get onto the topic of first kisses, and neither of them have had a proper relationship outside of those classic week–long middleschool flings that don't actually mean anything, so there's not much to talk about.

but being dumb teenage boys, they start worrying about "what if we're really bad at kissing and no girls wanna go with us to senior prom this year" etc. and one of them pops the suggestion of practicing together, and thus begins a summer of sweet stolen kisses and hand holding and experimenting and dancing around calling it something. it ends when the summer does because they realize that they both work better as friends, but they're as close as ever and both definitely learn they aren't straight (and they probably make a cute pact– "if we aren't in love by the time we're thirty, we'll just marry each other.")

i don't see them really doing much together because they're young and shy and inexperienced, but it's enough for john to decide that yeah, he definitely likes guys too, but that's all that really amounts to (until he meets gale) because he's growing up in a small town in wisconsin and it's not the easiest/most accepting place to find other queers. john probably ends up dating a real sweet girl during his last year of highschool, but she's going away for college and john's going to a local one so it ends amicably at the end of summer, both of them staying close friends. (if we wanna get sickeningly wholesome, maybe she ends up pining for a girl while john's pining for gale and they share their little stories and give each other advice and facetime every week to catch up <3)

(++ curt ends up falling head over heels for ken, who he meets through john when curt and john's friend groups get together for movie nights or summer parties. john pretends to be annoyed at how lovesick they are when they first start crushing, but he ends up matchmaking and being the one to push them to confess their feelings after graduation because he loves his friends.)

BUT THEN, leaving this fic's 'canon' to elaborate on the throuple stuff you said! i miss curtbuckbucky too </3

in a separate universe, curt doesn't end up with ken, and as much as he loves his friendship with john and agrees that a relationship wouldn't have worked at that time in their lives, he spends that first year of college pining. when john starts talking about some guy named gale during their second year, he's a little sad, but mostly protective, because "what do you MEAN he's in his 30s??" and "he's a BIKER?"

but john eventually introduces him to gale after a few months of telling curt about him, probably once he and gale actually start seeing each other, and curt immediately gets it. and then he's in double–hell because not only is he a bit (a lot) in love with his best friend, but he's blushing every time said best friend's new bf talks to him, and they're gonna notice eventually if they haven't already and he feels so guilty.

more yearning ensues and john is dense and doesn't realize but gale picks up on it, maybe even notices john doing a bit of pining of his own that john's not fully aware of. and his heart twists because his mind goes to his own insecurities about how john should be seeing someone his own age, so he sits john down and opens up a conversation about it. john is adamant that he's very, very happy with gale, but he tells gale about his and curt's past and admits that he has always still had feelings for him, but insists that it's not something he'd ever pursue, that he values curt's friendship more.

gale throws him off by saying he wouldn't mind if john wanted to explore those feelings, and at first john gets anxious gale is calling things off with the two of them and this is his way of softening the blow, but gale reassures him that's not the case, that he's very happy with their relationship. he just encourages that if he wants to talk to curt and feel things out, he wouldn't be opposed to john and curt seeing each other as well– gale's often busy, after all, so it would be nice for john to have someone else, as long as curt's comfortable with that kind of arrangement and as long as john keeps gale in the loop.

they decide to kinda just feel it out as they go, but soon enough gale starts coming home from work every so often to find the two of them curled up on his couch together, sweet and innocent. curt's wary at first, always slightly detaching himself from john when gale's around, but gale is always friendly and doesn't change up his routine, settling on the couch at john's other side like it's not a big deal at all, wanting to show curt he's welcome there, not wanting john to feel guilty.

it's another scenario where lines just sorta start to blur over time, curt spending a lot of time over at gale's house, and gale sees the way curt looks at him, probably noticed it from the first time they met but chalked it up to nerves at the time. curt's an angel and he's grown quite fond of him, but he doesn't want to overstep, so he leaves it up to curt, thinking maybe the boy will mention it to john one day and john will in turn come to gale to talk about it.

and eventually that happens, just like gale thought it might. curt's just gone home and john's head is in his lap on the couch while they watch tv, and john asks "what do you think about curt?" and gale tells him that he's sweet and he loves how much john smiles when he's around him, the usual. "so you like him?" john pushes, and gale immediately has a feeling where this conversation is going, drags his eyes away from the tv to look down at john.

says "of course" easily, and lets john take his time forming his thoughts. john ends up telling him that he and curt were fooling around earlier while gale was at work (and god help gale for the images that puts in his head) and that he'd made some offhand comment about how curt better hurry up if he doesn't want gale to come home and catch him half naked on their couch. and john's all shy when he says "and curt, uh. y'know. that... did it for him" with a vague gesture LOL. gale never fails to find it amusing how certain things can fluster john to talk about after all they've done together.

"so, anyway. i asked him about it after, if it was a coincidence, and he was real shy about it, but he did admit after a whole lot of apologizing that he likes you." gale listens to him nervously get his words out, petting his hair encouragingly, waits for him to be done before he asks "how do you feel about that?" only to watch the flush return when john mumbles "it's hot."

this is getting sooo long i need to take away my own typing privileges, but basically that's how things would start between the three of them– john and gale agree that gale will let himself be a bit flirty with curt and see how curt takes it. obviously this goes a little too well when curt gets hot and bothered sat between john and gale during a movie night with john's hand on his knee and gale's arm resting on the couch behind him while he plays with curt's hair.

the movie is forgotten when gale's finger catches on a tangled curl and curt doesn't bite back the little whine that slips out in time and john's head snaps over and he mumbles a "fuck" when he realizes what's happened, and his lack of filter comes out to play when he turns to curt and asks "curt, can gale kiss you?" and curt turns to gale with big doll eyes and nods.

john ends up palming himself over his shorts as he watches gale coax curt into his lap, face hot and pupils blown as he gets to see both his guys make out in front of him, almost dizzy seeing curt get so shy and needy and pliant because when it's just the two of them, he and curt are both very balanced in their dynamic. they've been such close friends for so long that not much gets the other truly shy like that, and they're always quick to voice their wants and crack jokes while fooling around and all. so to see curt get so flustered in that way with gale has him lightheaded, and by the time they all collapse into gale's bed at the end of the night, john's convinced this is the best decision he's ever made.

there's a lot of pining on curt's end because for a while it's kinda just sex when it's the three of them, and he loves it but he also finds himself wanting more but feeling too scared to voice it because he feels like he's intruding. but eventually they all get their shit sorted out; curt fits into their relationship just right in a way gale and john never intended or expected, and gale falls for curt just as much as john has and curt does the same with gale.

gale's got two sweet things glued to his side now and man, do they ever give him a run for his money, and if he'd thought john had too much energy (and stamina) it's nothing compared to keeping up with both of them, but he wouldn't have it any other way. <3

throuple things won't be happening in the actual fic, but i do love the idea of exploring the dynamic the three of them might have in a spin–off of that au so this was rly fun thx :-) maybe i'll write a pwp oneshot set in that universe as an excuse to write more curtbuckbucky once the fic is done LOL we'll see!

#leaving bikeriders au #will proofread later bc i want to get back to the other drabble LOL #i can't believe these keep ending up so longggg #i wish it was this easy for me to get words out like this for my actual fics but alas #drabble and brainrot will always have me in their clutches #johnslittlespoon asks #johnslittlespoon brainrot #curtbuckbucky #buckbucky

If you make an another account will you be posting it? You know so I can immediately follow and all 😁. And same I’ve always been a loner too. There have been a few exceptions though. But the past year taught me a lot about friendships so I’m just working on myself this year. It’s kind of lonely but at the same time really peaceful? I think I’m happier now than I’ve been in a long time. Yeah the lack of friends and companions makes things lonely but it’s not something that I’ll let break me anymore. I know I’m stronger than that now. Someone’s I think online people are easier to interact with because there’s no attachments?? Like if they left me I can assume something happened or they decided to go offline but I know for sure (mostly) it’s not my fault you know? And people online are just so much kinder in general. Not that I interact a bunch of people online, just a few, but that’s just my experience so far. Didn’t mean to go off on a rant there my bad 😅.

And don’t apologize for closing the chat box!! It’s completely understandable. As kind as people can be online there are still a bunch of creeps out here 🤢. So pls stay safe!!

YOUR SCREENSAVER?!??! ASDGKKGFFGG MY BABY HE LOOKS SO PRETTY. Also I’ve only recently gotten a Haitani brothers brainrot so like that’s a big factor atm 💀💀. OH there’s this one artist that posts her drawings in insta and tiktok abt TR and they look amazing and are so freaking funny I end up clutching my stomach every time 💀😭😂.

Here’s one of them

https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZTRCVqAnf/

I’ve posted a few things on my blog but only drabbles really. I’ve been wanting to start doing analysis’s for a long time but I never got around to it. Just like character analysis’s and relationship analysis’s and story arcs and all that jazz. I love all of it. And in my opinion the best stories are the ones where the characters are what drive the plot of the story. TR did an amazing job of doing this and it’s one of the reasons I fell in love with the story in the first place almost immediately.

That one illuminati ask was…. something 💀.

Comfort fics are my favorite and the ones that explore real experiences and feelings and aren’t just a colt bf paste of the same words really do it for me.

Thank youuuu ☺️!!! Yeah my blogs a mess but I have so much fun with it. I haven’t posted anything in a while tho and I’m thinking about starting character analysis’s posts first. I’ll probably brainstorm over winter break. Which cant come soon enough btw. I have so many ideas for stories (besides fics I mean) and I wanna warm up and practice with tumblr.

Emperor! Izana ehhhh 👀👀?? Don’t worry I can wait. I can be patient when I want to be 😌. And the 30+ WIPS?? I felt that 😭😭. I don’t even wanna look at all the almost blank documents where I speed typed like 30 words at 3 am and when back to sleep 💀💀.

REOOOOOO!!! See like Nagi is also very adorable. And Barou has been growing on me lately 👀. See what I’m doing with blue lock now is just being spoiled left and right. I gave up trying to avoid spoilers (my lack of patience really shined through here) so now I see a post abt a match point or a duo breaking up in the manga and I’m like WAIT WHAT and then just don’t read the manga 💀💀. I WILL (eventually) soon but after the first season ends.

I love love love analyzing people and hearing their stories and learning things through experience. Which is really rich cause Im not good with talking to people and I never leave the house 💀💀. You can see my problem 😭😭.

How’s reading TR going? 👀👀

Ohhh I’ll check out those recs.

What did you think of the new episode of Chainsaw Man? Shit really hit the fan after the first 5 minutes 💀💀.

You should’ve told the guy where you found the picture so that he could save it as his wallpaper if he liked it so much 😌🙄.

Also can I mention how much I love the headers you put at the end of each ask? Like they’re so adorable and cute and thoughtful. I just wanted to say I really appreciate them!!! You’re so sweet ❤️❤️.

As for me, I’m currently in the library waiting for my next class to start. I took a tumblr break after eating lunch. My professor just made a big essay optional and extra credit because he wants us to review for our last unit test and midterm throughly. SO LIKE HECK YEAH!!! But also I already have an outline for it so I’m debating if the 10 point extra credit on our midterm is worth the extra work or not.

How’s your day going? Papers are rough but you got this 😤😤!!! Don’t forget to take breaks and eat something and drink water today okay??? *sends many virtual hugs*

Kinda want to announce it so that I don’t seem sus - but I also wanna be discreet abt it so that I can interact with people who wanna message me (in priv) and not people who want a part 2 of something from me ૮ ◞ ﻌ ◟ ა (please I get that you guys don’t wanna be left on a cliffhanger - but. I have a life outside tumblr and left with less hours to write. And if you want quality, you’re gonna have to wait. Pushing me isn’t gonna work cause you’re gonna be disappointed with the end result and so will I) you’ll be able to tell it’s me cause I will say this - it’s a TR username - I have two of them in mind and I can’t figure which one I want more cause the one I got represents me in whole and the other is a guy who’s high (ikyk)

Yeah, it gets lonely here- but at least it’s peaceful; I follow a few blogs - mostly art + JJBA updates (and I’m super excited to check out the new eps of stone ocean) interaction wise... i have tried it out before, but none of them lasted long. what hurt me the most was when i was trying to be genuine abt something and writers here (not all but some) are really closed off yk? like they're fine interacting with friends but are really selective with new people? cause of that i just gave up interacting with them altogether and after my ideas got taken and neither was anything being reciprocated back on my blog by them despite us following each other- cause it goes both ways and if its just me, i wont do it anymore. my experience online hasn't been that great except with the upload of fics... and the only interaction i would get was comments or going through tags that was included by the person who reblogged it- but with recent developments, a lot of that has changed and i'm comfortable talking to people now ૮ ˶ᵔ ᵕ ᵔ˶ ა

Oh yea definitely. Safety is super important to me - that's why i never reveal too much about myself just small things cause you can't be completely safe on the internet- like when i was still a small time writer i got followed by a spanking account (istg the way my eyes widened when i saw it; and it wasn't even the kinky variety- it was traditional method of disciplining someone) - won't go much into detail about it but yeah i ended up blocking him. And now that i think abt it he must've read my hanma fic - but still (T.T)

Rindou is so pretty- i. he looked at me on the train (ᴗ͈ˬᴗ͈)ꕤ.ﾟ

Unfortunately, I don't use tiktok. I used to be there - but i realized that i wasted a lot of time with endless scrolling, some of the content had received a lot of likes despite there not being enough effort? not to mention my ex's friends came to troll me through that app. I deleted my account and as i got older, i decided to never go back - so now i just stick to pinterest, twitter and instagram with the latter two being purely for uni reasons. so yeah i'm not much of a social media kinda person - and yeah i live under a rock and i'm ancient (*꒦ິ꒳꒦ີ)

Oh yeah when characters take the drive and the plot goes ahead is a different thing altogether - and i agree. like even in tr, i was really surprised to see the turn of events and character development - especially Kazutora and yeah i saw the drabbles (didn't get to read them cause i haven't watched one piece but maybe i should soon) - glad to know that you're a woman of culture for liking ace cause i like him as well - despite not watching the anime (is a zoro fan as well) and now i wanna change the theme of my blog as well- thinking if i should go with beige, sage green or blue- gonna see how this pans out

that illuminati ask had me dead- and i was just laughing from confusion and saying that idk who was a part of project and conspiracies- it's gonna be an inside joke on the blog 😂

Oh yeah emperor Izana - very fitting for his image tbh; and literally- when its time to write, it is time to write and lately i've been feeling the word "cold" a lot which added to True north Aiku's part (yes i will talk abt my husband- and apparently he's set a standard for me in men too shaggy hair with a mullet minus the side shave + scruff/ 5 o clock shadow) I haven't watched the latest of bllk - i read the new chapter though - not much action but Isagi's development; and you found out abt a duo breaking up- ૮₍•᷄ ࡇ •᷅₎ა dw tho - there are more pairings that come in and you'll get to see Barou with his hair down- p hot ngl .What i really really pray for is aiku getting animated (*꒦ິ꒳꒦ີ) i wanna see him touch him feel him (*꒦ິ꒳꒦ີ)

TR reading - might start uploading manga panels soon and i still like Senju/ Senjuu - she's like me (๑>ᴗ<๑) (although i know some ppl would disagree- i'm curious to see what character would you relate me to tho)

And i forgot to add that i read philosophy as well - i'm all over the place tbh - one of my favs is tuesdays with morrie. Its a sad book but totally worth the read.

I haven't watched chainsaw man just read the manga- but i think i should start watching that cause mappa did a good job with it and honestly- the animation looks very different than their usual (i was roped into re-watching aot - likes reiner and porco )

Ty fur liking the headers- (*꒦ິ꒳꒦ີ) i'm gonna put them for every ask - might start putting webtoon ones too

Oof good luck on the review!

So, i wrote the review and the prof liked it a lot- i got summoned to the archival section of the library - the books there are so old and dusty and i'm working on a research paper with my prof (had to wash my hand three times to get the dust off and i'm thinking of carrying surgical gloves for this-)

I hope your say is going well too, starry!

I do not regret sending cursed images I found on Pinterest

ruby earrings

a/n: yes yes i know ive been gone for the longest time but i've lost so much motivation to keep posting while still being a student and living life. your main man is still alive and im here to present a new lil drabble with a character i've never written for nor do i have on my masterlist of characters. ive been having terrible danganronpa brainrot and ive been caught up on almost all the lore regarding v1 v2 v3 and udg. the fandom has swallowed me up once again. i can never escape its clutches

contains: slight cursing, kissing, slight ooc byakuya

byakuya togami x gender neutral reader

_____________________________________________________________

“what the hell?” they said as they looked down at the ruby earrings that were thrown in front of them. “well? do you like them?” he asked. they looked up at him with a confused expression. “how-why?” they stuttered out. “a thank you so much would be a proper response.” he rolled his eyes. “did you think that just because you got me a gift, that i would be nice to you?” they asked, bewildered. “you’re awfully rude, you know that right?” “and you got some nerve, you asshole.” he sighed. “you have some nerve being outright rude to me right off the bat. i put effort into getting you that. the least you could do is show me gratitude.” he crossed his arms. “where did you learn to talk back to me like that?” they spat. “i only learnt it from the best.” he said with a faint smile. he nudged his head towards the earrings that sat in the box. they huffed out a small laugh as they held them up delicately. “how’d you know?” they questioned. “i only mentioned wanting these a long time ago. you remembered?” they continued. “you always spoke about how much you wanted these earrings so i did myself and everyone a favor and bought them to shut you up.” he sighed.

“byakuya…” they cooed. “oh don’t start that with me.” he groaned. “y’know, regardless of how cold you can be you really are a sweetheart sometimes.” they smiled. “flattery will get you nowhere. cut it out.” he waved them off. “it definitely did get me somewhere. don’t act like you don’t like it, kuya.” they teased. “ugh, i thought i told you to stop calling me that wretched nickname. it’s disgraceful to the togami name.” byakuya stated. “you can tell me to stop all you want, but has that ever stopped me?” they stood up. “whatever, you’ve done enough yapping, are you going to try on those earrings?” he said. they kissed their teeth. “fine, put them on me then.” they said, moving their hair out of the way. byakuya tsked before taking their earring out of their ear and placing the ruby one instead. he subconsciously smiled as they basically cheesed at the earrings. he couldn’t deny how satisfied he felt knowing that they loved the gift. they always loved whatever he gave them but he knew this gift held more sentimental value.

“it’s beautiful. thank you, i guess.” they said. “see? that wasn’t so hard now was it?” he teased. “yeah yeah, whatever.” they rolled their eyes. “i expect something in return.” he said, leaning forward. “you just want more and more, huh? when will you ever be satisfied?” they groaned as they cupped his cheek, pressing a grateful kiss to his pale cheek. they pulled back before he cleared his throat. “you know the drill, i don’t understand why you think this would be different.” he stated. they sighed deeply before pressing a soft kiss against his lips. “thank you, kuya.” they mumbled.

‘anything for you.’ byakuya thought.

“you’re welcome.” byakuya whispered.

DRABBLES? 👀 i would like some crygi bc the gigi brainrot is real

Of course my friend!!! Crygi for the soul :))) I love them so bad they are everything to me!!!

+ + +

Gigi's heart stopped in her chest. What the-? What the fuck was that noise?

She immediately took off running, nearly tripping over herself in her haste to locate her lovely girlfriend and find out what the fuck had just happened. Had Crystal gotten herself hurt? Had she found out some supremely earth-shatteringly bad news? That shriek had sounded nearly inhuman!

God what the hell was going on?

Visions of Crystal passed out on the floor or sobbing at the worst news imaginable flashed before Gigi's eyes and she found herself nearly breathless as she reached the top of the staircase, heading toward their bedroom to slam open the door with the power of a woman on a mission.

She expected blood. She expected tears.

What she got instead was Crystal, fetal position on the floor, clutching her phone like a lifeline.

Fuck.

"Baby?" Gigi asked quietly, bending down to place a hand on her girlfriend's arm, "What happened? Is something wrong? Are you alright?"

Crystal seemed startled by Gigi's sudden presence at her side, eyes wide and hazy as she looked up.

A beat.

Then, in a voice that trembled and shook, Crystal murmured, "He announced it."

"What? Who announced what baby? Something happen?"

Crystal nodded. God she was practically shivering.

"He announced the new one."

"The new what baby? You have to be more clear."

Crystal swallowed thickly, handing her phone with her still trembling hand to Gigi.

Gigi looked at the screen, prepared for the worst.

Instead of the worst she was greeted with a picture of an oddly familiar man. A man in a white blouse and somewhat baggy jeans. Standing in a room. With... with furniture on the ceiling?

What the-?

She scanned the screen for more information then she saw it.

Harry's House. May 20th.

Harry's House. It all clicked in place. This guy was Harry Styles.

"Harry Styles is releasing a new album?"

Crystal let out a loud screech, just like the one that had caused Gigi's initial panic.

"YES HE IS! GOD I LOVE HIM SO MUCH! CAN YOU BELIEVE IT? A NEW ALBUM! I'VE BEEN WAITING YEARS! I WONDER IF IT'LL BE AS GOOD AS FINE LINE? IT LOOKS SO CUTE! ARE YOU LOOKING AT HIS OUTFIT? I MEAN HE'S NOWHERE AS GORGEOUS AS YOU BUT HE'S SOOOOOOO CUTE! I'M SCREAMING! I'M SOBBING! I NEED TO TEXT NICKY AND JAIDA AND DAYA ABOUT THIS ASAP!"

Gigi blinked slowly. The anger rushed through her in haphazard waves.

Crystal had let out that ear-piercing, panic-inducing wail over Harry Styles announcing a new album? That's what this was about? It was ridiculous! It was juvenile! It was-

"OMG BABE YOU NEED TO LISTEN TO IT WITH ME WHEN IT COMES OUT!"

Crystal looked up at her with a grin, vibrating with energy, as she scrambled to sit up- pulling Gigi into a tight hug.

"WE NEED TO RELISTEN TO BOTH HIS OTHER ALBUMS RIGHT NOW."

Okay... maybe it wasn't that bad now that Gigi was thinking about it.

"WAIT OMG REMEMBER 'SUNFLOWER, VOL. 6' WE NEED TO LISTEN TO THAT ONE FIRST RIGHT NOW!"

Crystal was now on her feet, dragging Gigi with her before twirling them around, singing at the top of her lungs, "I couldn't want you anymore - kiss in the kitchen like it's a dance floor - I couldn't want you anymore - toniiiiiight!"

Oh goddamn it, Gigi couldn't be angry for even a second. Even if Crystal had scared her half to death with her shrieking. Crystal was clearly over the moon with the news, to the point that she was serenading her. What a goof!

"Alright alright you dork!" Gigi giggled, letting Crystal spin her around the room, "We'll listen to his albums together! You're soooo excited about this, you haven't even heard the songs yet!"

Crystal just kept smiling, twirling them both around over and over as she laughed, "I'm a billion percent sure that I'll love the songs the second I hear them! It's Harry Styles after all! His music is always god tier!" Then she pulled Gigi closer, pressing a gentle kiss to her lips that made her heart flutter in her chest, "Not as god tier as you, but pretty close."

"Ah shut up you dork."

Crystal shook her head, "Nope! No can do! I just love you so much! I guess you could say... I want you to rock me~ rock me~ rock me yeah~ I want you to hit the pedal~ heavy metal~ show me you care~"

Gigi rolled her eyes, trying her best not to break out into a smile, "Stop singing One Direction songs at me you dork, you're not making yourself seem any less geeky!"

"What? You insecure? Don't know what for? You turning heads when you walk through the dooooor? Don't need makeup? To cover up? Being the way that you are is enough?"

"Shut up!"

Crystal snorted a laugh, "Never. You love me. And you love my Directioner antics."

Gigi wanted to deny it. She really wanted to. But admittedly she was weak. She was weak for her precious girlfriend and her adorable smile and the fact she was the most over the top Directioner she had ever met in her life.

"Okay maybe I do love you. What about it?"

"I mean... If you don't wanna take it slow - and you just want to take me home - baby say yeah, yeah, yeah - yeah, yeah - and let me kiss you~"

"Oh god stop talking!" Gigi cackled, pulling her girlfriend closer before kissing her with a laugh, "If I keep kissing you will you stop singing One Direction?"

Crystal shrugged, "Maybe... I mean... I'm in love with you..." she kissed Gigi back before winking, "And all your little things~"

Summary: On the fortuity of Bennett’s relationship with you.

This is a three part, self-indulgent, super short series for Genshin Impact’s Bennett.

I love Bennett. I may not get major brainrots for him like I do for Xiao, Albedo, Diluc and the like, but he always has a special place in my heart (and team).

There isn’t enough content for him, and I wish to fill that hole somehow, even with simple drabbles such as this, which I am highly unused to. Those who are familiar with my writing know that I specialize in long, plot-heavy fics so this was refreshing and freeing to write.

I plan to write more shorts like this for other Genshin characters in the future, as a break away from my plot-driven Haikyuu fics haha

Luck has never been his friend. Misfortune has always been his companion.

Bennett the Unlucky was his name, and misfortune followed him like the shadow of a clock, ticking at his heels every second of every minute. When adversity will strike, he never knows but Bennett has endured all the world ever threw at him and survived.

That is not to say that there are no nights where he curls in on himself, lying on his side with his arms clutching at his stomach. A hollow pain swimming inside of him that somehow turns loud below a thin blanket, be it in an empty room or under the stars, his own breathing his only companion on lonely voyages.  

He can handle any and all kinds of physical pain, having gotten used to them over many series of freak accidents and broken bones, but there’s a type of pain that Bennett has yet to get used to, only endured.

(He isn’t sure if he wants to ever get used to this pain -he doesn’t want to- and he’s a very positive guy, but even his subconscious fears having too much hope of this other type of pain ever going away, permanently, someday...)

“After that long trek and all those hilichurls, I didn’t even manage to find a cabbage today….but I guess that’s part of an adventure! Maybe I’ll have better luck tomorrow! If only there’s someone else who can help me keep an eye out for treasure...”

The day Bennett met you, it was once again out of pure bad luck on his part, not coincidence. 

Fighting a group of hilichurls on the side of a hill should have been the first sign that disaster was on its way but it wasn’t Bennett’s choice to be ambushed by the group. 

In a desperate, passionate, move to push them back, he might have poured too much of his energy and fervor into his strike. 

Vision glowing a hot lava red, fire swirled and gushed forth from his sword that successfully burned away at the wooden shields of the hilichurls. But, Bennett being who he is, ‘good’ is always ‘misfortune’ in disguise, and the blowback from the overflowing of his power resulted in an explosion that blasted both the enemies and him backwards.

Unfortunately, to no one's surprise, Bennett happened to be on the wrong side of the hill in that battle, and he went flying over the side.

Rolling down the rocky hill over shrubs and sharp rocks, Bennett was prepared (and expectant) for the inevitable hard pain that will slam into him when he finally comes to a stop. 

However, it was to his great surprise when he landed on something much softer than the hard ground.

“What in the name of Barbatos-”

“I- I’m so sorry-!” 

Leaping off your back that literally became his crash landing pad, Bennett winced at the sight of the crumpled backpack hanging haphazardly off one shoulder, squashed contents spilling out in various states of misery.

Reaching a hand out to help you up, he was more than ready to spew his apologies (he has had lots of chances to practice...) when you turned to see who your would-be-attacker is, displaying to him all the new scratches that adorned your otherwise fair cheeks.

Bennett felt his stomach drop and twist, knowing it was him that caused all of it plus the bleeding on your chin. 

“Ah...please let me patch you up! It’s the least I can do for landing on you…”

A wince as he steadied you to your feet.

“That’s fine and all but...shouldn’t we do something about those hilichurls first?”

With the winds of your Anemo Vision, Bennett’s fire blew strong that day and the hilichurls did not stand a chance.

In all honesty, Bennett thought it would be the last he saw of you just as soon as he plastered the last of his bandages on your chin, a gift from his dads at the guild and other people he met along the way. Yet, turns out you were heading to Mondstadt, just like him. 

Since, each day and each moment spent with you, Bennett never let his defense down and always believed you would leave him one day, just like everyone else that has had enough of his bad luck around them. 

But as days bled into weeks which grew into months, you continued to be a presence in Bennett’s life; one of the longest people, even, besides his dads and the people who he worked with at the Adventurer’s guild (and sometimes, even those don’t last very long).

One thing always led to another, and whether it was -dare he say- serendipity or perchance, luck, Bennett dared not question it. 

He felt himself begin to think, feel, hope- a dangerous thing to have, especially for one with his affliction- that perhaps, you will stay.

And stay you did, to his shock and great relief.

To his even greater surprise, joy, and disbelief, though- 

Your shifting in his arms caused Bennett to freeze, worried that he might have awoken you with the caress of his rough knuckles on your cheeks. Lured by the sounds of your soft breathing and peaceful face, he could not help but reach out to feel you with the pads of his fingers, checking that you are indeed real; not a dream nor a fickle hope conjured by his (sometimes) lonely mind.

He relaxed when you continued to slumber, counting down from 10 as an assurance that you were indeed sleeping and not prepping to spook him, something you were apt to do. 

Fingers resumed their journey across the planes of your skin.

How did you find it in yourself to let your guard down so utterly around him? 

He did not understand it. Couldn’t.

Everyone knows that it is never safe around him and even the sturdiest of warriors would sleep with one eye open, lest hail abruptly fell out of the sky and stoned them to death.

And yet here you were, sleeping without a care in the world, drool seeping from the corner of your mouth, your legs entwined with his. 

Perfectly at ease. 

Safe.

Bennett can recall with vivid clarity the day you- from out of nowhere, with no prompt, like a stray rock that would catch the back of his head, but wholly welcomed as the cooling breeze on his back- turned to him with words he never thought he will ever hear from anyone for the entirety of his unlucky life: 

“I really like you.”

Now, when he lays on his side and curls in on himself in the dark of the night, his arms no longer clutch at his stomach and hold you instead. The hollow pain that howls at the moon is replaced by the beating of your heart against his chest, and your quiet sighs fill the silence that used to crowd him.

Many moons have passed but Bennett still has difficulty believing that you were real, if he was being honest. 

How many times has he come across a large treasure chest, had his heart filled to the brim with joy and hope, only to find it empty, or even worse, rigged to explode?

It’s hard for him to grasp that anyone would ever want to be around him for a minute longer than they have to. 

He’s merely waiting for the day you finally have had enough of shells in your burnt sunny-sides, of one too many close calls with fire to your hair, of flash storms on an otherwise sunny day, of wilted flowers and holes in your sleeping bag, of bugs falling on your head during afternoon walks- 

“Aren’t you going to sleep? We have an early day tomorrow...” 

Your drowsy mumbling pulled Bennett from his spiraling thoughts and into your sleepy gaze.

“Y-Yeah! I’ll sleep soon. I was just….thinking.”

You blinked slowly at him, and Bennett just knew that you knew what he was ‘thinking’ about. Bennett is neither smart nor an idiot, but he’s definitely more of a ‘do first, think later’ type.

‘Bennett and thinking’ didn’t fit as well as ‘Bennett and “Let’s go!” with a thumbs up in the wrong direction. Someone like him couldn’t afford to spend time thinking and waiting around...what little luck he may have will surely run out soon, and he has to make the most of it whilst he can.

You pressed closer to him and placed an innocent kiss on the underside of his chin, over a tiny scar that he acquired on a trip down the side of a cliff- separate from the incident with yours.

He flushed and tucked his chin in, emerald eyes shifting down to find yours peering up at him with a lazy smile. 

“Sleeping early means we get to wake up early to see each other, you know?” 

Nuzzling into his neck, he felt, rather than heard, your sincere whispers.

“I can’t wait to see you tomorrow too.”

It wasn’t a reassurance. It was just…honesty.

You truly did want to spend another day with him.

It wasn’t long before your breathing evened out, and he was once again amazed at the ease with which you basked and fell to peace in his presence.

Bennett took a few moments to himself, repeating the necklace of words you laid around his shoulders, tracing his thoughts over them again and again.

You are here.

And you will continue to be; now- today, tomorrow, and in the days that follow.

He held you tighter and buried his face into your hair, allowing the scent and presence of you to overwhelm him with a certainty he has never had the opportunity to experience before.

And Bennett allowed himself to finally believe that he found his treasure after all this time.
