8: Sundress
Kagome
Through big school you couldn’t remember much, one memory stuck in your head as you tend to the flowers making sure that all of them are properly watered. The girl who always had some reason to explain her extended absence, she still graduated pretty high on the list. A rather amazing feat all things considered.
“Are you open?”
Hearing the voice you jump almost dropping the hose. “Yes, just a minute.”
Was the bell loose again? Turning off the water you dry your hands on your apron before walking out to the main area. Stopping mid-step you couldn’t tell if you were experiencing the early signs of a summer cold or something else. The girl standing in the middle of your family flower shop was really cute, but what caught your attention was her sundress it looked really good on her.
“Are you okay?”
Shaking yourself from your daze you give a nervous smile as your hand flies to the back of your neck. “Uh yeah, what I can I do for you?”
“I just wanted some sunflowers if you have any.” She states.
“Sure, do you want em now or an order?” Back in work mode, you can’t gawk at every pretty customer that comes in the store.
“I’ll buy them now.” She smiles but you could feel her eyes on you as you turn around,
Bending under the counter you look for the clippers so you can cut the stems well.
“Y/n?”
Hearing your name you instinctively snap up slamming the back of your head against the wood counter. Luckily you weren’t under the work table in the back.
“Oh, my god are you okay?” She gasps.
You rub at the sore spot on your head as you right yourself. “Uh, I’m fine. Just sore pride.” Taking this moment you get a better look at this girl’s face, we’ll woman now.
A blush tints your face as you curl up in embarrassment,
“I’m terrible, it’s good to see you healthy Higurashi.” You laugh nervously.
“So I was right, it’s been a little while. I didn’t know you worked here.” She quickly says.
You nod. “Yeah my pops owns the building and we run the flower shop.”
“Do you know anything about medicinal plants?” She seemed starry-eyed.
“A little, I’m trying to get my herbalist certification,” you add. “Did you need some?”
“Well, I mean…” she seemed conflicted.
“If you wanna ask another time that’s fine. I’ll get your sunflowers.” You quickly say as you turn to grab the flowers.
The interaction after that was strictly business until you follow to the door.
“Is it okay if I come by with questions?” She asks.
“Yeah, that’s fine Higurashi.”
“Kagome, just call me Kagome.”
“Okay, Kagome.”
9: Ball
Tobio
You were often dragged into things by your best friend. They were very much enamored with their beau, which resulted in you being dragged along to watch your friend gush about their partner.
“Y/N, come on you were the manager for Volleyball before. You’re like the perfect person to help me at this camp,” Kou, your friend, urges with a pleading look.
“No.”
“Come on they need extra hands and you live closest.”
A few days later you look at her friend with a deep frown. “So what exactly is this?”
“A cross-school training camp, the alumni are teaching the kids. We get to make food or help with clean up.” They flash an innocent smile as you nod.
“You just want to watch your boyfriend get all sweaty.”
“I do not!”
You cover their mouth. “First of all, keep your voice down. Second, this was a bad idea. Inviting me of all people because my ex is one of the alumni.”
Their eyes go wide with excitement. You hardly divulged anything about your personal relationships because you were taught to keep everything separate. Though if Kou asks you’d probably marry them but things were the same in Japan as they were in America.
Picking up your friend you found something you could do that would keep you away from the gym. At the expense of your patience wearing thinner than an atom bond.
“Come on who was it?” They ask again as you chop the vegetables.
“I’m using a knife right now not exactly the time to be asking questions, Kou.”
“But y/n,” their whine was enough for you to drop the knife.
Grabbing a cooler you glare. “I’m gonna go take them more water. No, I don’t know when I’ll be back, because I am gonna run to the convenience store to find a modicum of patience to deal with you for a few more days.”
They got quiet. Was that mean? A little, but they continued to pester you despite you asking them not to. You respected their boundaries and let them drag you all across just to see volleyball games.
“Ah, Y/N. Did you grow?” Oikawa Toru, you spent as little time with him as you could and even less now that he was an international player.
Rolling your eyes you put the large cooler down. “More water. Stay hydrated. I’m doing a store run does anyone have a list?”
“Awe but you can’t go alone.” you could see the smirk as he calls out. “Oh Tobio-chan, do you think you can help this adorable little Y/N? They’re going to the store to pick up missing things.”
You hiss. “Dumbass don’t.”
Kageyama Tobio looks up from his paper and walks over silently. You snatch the list.
“I can handle it on my own.”
“No.”
“See he says he’ll help.” Oikawa smiles.
You give him the nastiest look you can muster. “Fine.”
Kageyama was silent as you walked to the store. The whole time in the sore was rather silent you were thankful for that. Until your phone started going off, Kou now knew because Oikawa did nothing but talk.
“You gonna answer it?” Tobio asks as you push the cart.
“No, I’m taking a page from your book.” You mumble.
He scoffs. “I said I was sorry. I texted you as soon as I could.”
You roll your eyes, you felt like they’d roll away at this point. “Oh pray tell how is three months as soon as possible. You know what no. I’m not having this conversation, we’re already broken up and our past relationship shouldn’t have any consequence on now.”
“All things considered you really dropped the ball, y/n.”
“Tobio don’t tempt me. You know what I’m capable of.” You manage between grit teeth.
He shrugs. “That’s what I like about you.”
This made you pause. “You’re still terrible at communication.”
“So are you.”
You attempt to counter but he was right. The entire beginning of your relationship was an awkward dance of both trying to be someone you weren’t just to please the other until settling into the feeling of normalcy.
Sighing you get in line to pay. “Sorry. I’ve been so high-strung there a situation.”
“I heard, my condolences.”
“You didn’t have to send all that stuff. So um thanks.”
He looks at you and nods. “You know my parents still think we’re dating and keep asking me if they’ll get to see you again or if I’ll pop the question.”
“You’re kidding.”
“Nope, we’ve been fake dating for two years now.”
“You’re the worst, your mom is so nice.”
“Will you join in the lie with me? I have a lot of gifts for you from them.”
You think about it. “Fine, only because your parents are nice.”
He nods. “Good because I don’t know if I can keep making excuses.”
“Maybe you should have just told her we’re not dating anymore. All I ask is that we keep our distance.”
“Right, distance.”
“Not right now you blockhead. Ugh, maybe if you become my scapegoat I won’t have to get dragged all over Japan.”
“Then it’s agreed?”
You give a nod. “Two years.”
“Works for me.”
10: Festival (America specific)
Mirio
“Welcome, I’m glad the others were able to come,” you smile as you pick up the fallen cup.
“Falcon, you have such a nice house,” Lemillion smiles as he fidgeted with something in his hands.
You chuckle. “It’s family property, so I just got lucky.”
“The festival sounded fun.”
You raise a brow. “First, call me Y/N, we’re out of uniform. Second, place your dish on the table.”
It was just a little gathering and you knew what the Japanese hero was talking about. Luckily you could abandon this social gathering and leave it in the capable hands of your little brother and cousin.
“Togata is fine.” He smiles placing his dish down.
You nod. “Um so if you wanna go to the festival I would love to go. I just need to find the right time to dip.”
He looked confused. “Are you sure?”
“Yeah, this wasn’t my idea. I just got appointed the leader. Wait here,” you smile before disappearing into the crowd.
Awkwardly Mirio looks around being polite and saying hello. But he didn’t expect you to grab his hand and quickly hold a finger over his lips.
“Quiet, if you say anything my quirk might get disrupted.” You whisper as you pull his hand gently. “Let’s go.”
It was a bit of a walk from your family property to the main part of the beach. There was a music festival going on. With a small smile and your wallet, you drag Mirio around excitedly through the expensive food stands, then onto the sand to listen to the bands just moving with the crowd.
While getting a few fancy drinks he grabs your free hand. “Careful you might get lost because of the crowd.”
You give a lazy smile. “Come on let’s go sit on the steps. Maybe we can visit a different stage.”
“I wish my friend could have been here,” he laughs as you lead the way.
“Why don’t we do something like this again? You bring your friends and I’ll bring mine and we’ll make the weekend of it. Like a planned vacation,” you offer with a lopsided grin, you were still steady on your feet so you were just saying anything to speak.
“Y/N, you made this fun. Thanks,”
“Mmm, that’s good. I’m glad, cause I’m gonna get grilled for going into the agency tipsy,” you smile.
Mirio takes your cup from your hand and finishes it quickly. “No, we’ll both get in trouble.”
“Careful there Goldie, we still have to walk back to my house.” You squeak.
11: “Sea to shining, really? You’re going to buy the ice cream alone.”
Wally west
“Dating is so hard,” your little sister whines as you continue to unpack your apartment from the boxes.
“If you have the energy to move your lips you can start putting these dishes away unless you wanna go home to mom.” You and your little sister got along about as well as two snapping turtles, not very often when you were together.
She grabs a few glasses off the counter. “Speaking of dating, when will I get to meet your ever-elusive boyfriend?”
You roll your eyes. “Maybe when Springfield gets a proper storm.”
“Haha, come on. I wanna meet him, that way mom will stop trying to get me to set you up,” she smirks.
“Oh, my relationship status is so important,” you roll your eyes. “He’s busy with work. I am busy with my degree our free time doesn’t match.”
“Okay okay, I’ll stop pushing. But like send me a picture of you two together at least,” she smiles.
It only took a few hours to get all your things put away. Moving in the middle of the summer was probably the worst idea you’ve ever had, especially when you had so little food in your new place. Your sister had already left and you were trying to find a place to order take out from. Singing to yourself as you scroll through the ads.
Now you weren’t very patriotic, there were so many things that could be different about your country but you did have to sing as a job. Right now your small group was recording for a historical special and the song was on loop in your head like it paid rent.
“From sea to shining—
You stop as the front door opens. Standing in the doorway making all the noise in the world you frown. “Really?”
“Hey baby,” Wally walks in and pulls you into a tight hug.
“I was trying to figure out what to eat for dinner, and now I’m at the top of the page again because you came in like it’s not the middle of the night.” You huff.
“Awe but baby I missed you.”
“I missed you too, but you’re buying the ice cream, alone.” You cross your arms.
He hugs you tighter. “Wait no, you know I always buy too much. Baby please I need an adult.”
“Nope, I’m buying dinner you’re just gonna have to put on your big boy pants and go to the store by yourself.” You pout,
“I’d this because I didn’t help you unpack?”
You continue scrolling to find a nearby restaurant.
“Baby.”
“No, and this isn’t about unpacking, it’s because you got space goo in the washer before I left my last apartment,” you huff.
“I said I was sorry.”
“Sorry doesn’t get my deposit back. You’re lucky I have any money left over from buying a new washer for the damn con artist,” you grumble deciding on a healthy place. “Put in your order so I can buy it.”
Wally takes your phone still pouting. You had to admit he was cute.
“Fine I’ll drive you to the store and you can ask me what to get while I stay in the car.”
12: Lizards
Razor
As an aspiring alchemist, you were no stranger to trying to gather different materials. But that was just it�� you were aspiring– because your guardian wouldn’t let you lead alchemy.
“I can do it too if I have someone to learn from,” you whine throwing yourself back into the grass.
From the look of the sky, it would rain soon. But you didn’t want to get up. Wallowing would be much better. Though you did want to try gathering the lizard tails.
“Hello.”
You wanted to retest from the face super close to yours but you were already on the ground and if you went up you’d definitely hit his face. His white hair hung down around and clouded your vision of the area around you.
“Razor, you’re too close.” Gently you reach up and push his shoulders.
“Laying down, it will rain,” he states not budging.
At this, you nod. “Yes it’ll rain soon, but I need Lizards.”
“Lizard?”
“Mm, maybe if I gather the ingredients Sucrose will teach me something,” you admit. “But dad won’t let me.”
Suddenly a different voice joins in. “Because you need to learn to fight properly before you can do alchemy.”
“Bennett.”
Razor sits up and you do so as well. “You know if you weren’t so bent on being an adventurer maybe our dads wouldn’t try to make me do it too.”
Years ago around the same time Bennett was left with the knight of Favonius you were as well covered in blood with a Dendro vision clutched tightly in your small fingers. Shaking the memory away you frown.
“Maybe I should go back?” You pout the clouds were coming in faster casting a shadow.
“We can help find Lizards,” Razor says as he stands up.
Bennett smiles. “Yeah, we can help.”
Razor holds out a hand to you. Accepting it you look at your brother. “Only the tails, we can’t hurt the lizards.”
“At the same time practice,” Razor offers.
I wince. “If it rains I don’t wanna feel the after effect of your lightning Razor.”
He smiles. “I will be careful.”
13: Resort
Daichi
Usually, you’d be mad that people didn’t watch where they were going, effectively knocking you back a few steps but a hand pulls you to their side and you give a small smile to your boyfriend. With all the training you’ve been doing you were glad for the long break to spend quality time with your boyfriend, it would have been better if it was only you two but it was a group trip.
“Y/N, we’re almost there. Are you okay?” Daichi asks while looking over you.
“Yeah, I’m fine, no reason to worry.” Fixing your shirt you look around for your friends.
Daichi just takes your hand in his firmly, leading the way to the small group.
“You finally made it!” The small woman jumping up and down could barely contain her excitement. “I was so excited to meet your partner Y/N, you two are so cute.”
One of your taller friends nods. “Uiha is checking in with Kuuro.”
Adjusting your bag you smile. “Got it, and how are the rooms?”
“We have one big room,” Uiha holds up the room keys with a groan. “Apparently when I made the reservation for the resort they just processed it as one big room with our party size.”
“Well, it’s not like it would have mattered,” you sigh. “Let’s go take our things up so we can at least have a moment to relax.”
Kuuro smirks. “How about Uiha and I take the luggage to the room and you six go have fun walking around?”
Daichi rolls his eyes. “Not a chance. We all came here to relax.”
“I’m hurt did all that training together not make us friends?”
You raise a brow confused. “You guys trained together?”
“Yes, but I don’t wanna think about it.”
With a shrug, you were more than happy to follow Uiha. Making sure everyone’s things were put away.
You stood in your swimwear raising a brow. As the group walked into the pool area. Everyone was staring, maybe that was just what it was like but you wanted to relax.
“If you pretend that they’re trees it is easier to ignore.” Daichi offers.
“Y/N! Can we do a match of beach volleyball?” Your smaller friend, Kitty asks as she grips your open arm.
You frown. “I don’t know, we have like four volleyball players here and I don’t wanna deal with that kind of defeat.”
Kuuro calls back. “It seems like a better option there are fewer people on the beach.”
“Come on Y/N, beach volleyball and indoor volleyball are two different things.” Uiha urges.
You sigh. “But if you slap my back or leg during the match I’m done. You don’t know how to control your strength when you play.”
Daichi chose to watch instead. But did join for a little bit. Overall the first day was fun, and you got to lay on the beach with Daichi while the others played in the water.
14: Sunflowers
Kiba (modern au)
You groan leaning on the desk, taking on the role of a preschool teacher was a mistake. Because the only school you got accepted to hold classes in the summer. Today your group didn’t have class but the principal still wanted all teachers to come in, but… the air conditioning in the teachers' office was busted.
“Y/N, if you keep groaning like that it’ll get hotter.” Someone complains.
Frowning you tried to think. “Can’t we have a water day? I’m sure the kids would love it.”
“We can’t remember Daichi and Futaba in shooting star class are petrified of water.” Someone else says.
Suddenly the back of your head hurt as you tried to peel your face off the desk to glare at the offender you were faced with someone else. “Y/N, I have a new task for you.”
About to right yourself you frown. “Please no more. I already have to organize the parent lunch, prepare the lists for the incoming preschoolers, check the plants in the crescent moon class, and disinfect all the cubbies.”
“It’s nothing that taxing, I just need you to water the sunflowers in the morning and the middle of the day.”
A chorus of groans sounds. “Not fair Y/N, gets sunflower duty?” “If she does that I’ll take up indoor plant duty can’t have them on double plant duty.”
“Sunflowers?”
“Yes, the full moon class is growing sunflowers. They are the tall ones.” The principal sighs. “Just this one thing. That’s all I need.”
You nod. “I can do that.”
The next morning you went to grab the hose and start. But when you got to the fence you noticed someone standing on the other side. This particular part of the fence wasn’t solid because the sunflowers would be grown there. Instead of paying them much mind, you started watering.
“Y/N? You became a preschool teacher?”
You look up a bit confused and blink. Did you know this person?
As if reading the confused expression on your face the male leaning over the fence covers his cheeks to hide the red marks under his eyes.
“Inuzuka?” Blinking you stand up straight and you forgot to let go of the hose head pull.
Effectively watering the man standing there.
He just laughs. “Now you should be able to recognize me.”
“I’m so sorry, let me get you a towel.” You drop the offending gardening tool away from the flower buds and quickly run inside.
Throwing the towel over to him you must have apologized quite a few times.
“Why don’t we make it up over coffee on your next day off?” Kiba offers.
You were a flustered mess as you take the towel back. “That sounds good.”
