You Know What They Say...
Warnings: swearing, fluff Pairing: Bakugou x reader (I originally was going to do Kiri, but this doesn’t really fit him lol)
This uses gender neutral pronouns bc everyone deserves to see themselves in (y/n). 
Tumblr media
Description: The first date with Bakugou was going awesome, well until (Y/N) and Bakugou went to see one of the worst movies they had ever seen...anyways Bakugou sat there oddly quiet until (y/n) started trashing the movie and cursing out the characters...Bakugou was pretty sure he wanted to go on a second date after that.
Anywaysss GO GET YOUR MANS....
Tumblr media
YOU WERE WALKING down the hallway towards your locker since school had just ended, intent on grabbing your books and heading outside to walk back to the dorms. Well, that was your plan until you saw the blonde spikes that belonged to king explosion murder himself. “Hey Baku!” You called, speeding up your steps to catch up with his stride.
“I thought I told you to stop calling me that, Big Hair.” He growled, shooting you a side glance. You smiled widely at him, laughing off the hostility as you slid your arm around his. He looked down at where your arms were connected but didn’t say anything about it, surprisingly enough. “I will if you go to the movies with me.”
Bakugou was quiet for a moment as you both walked outside, rolling his eyes before opening his mouth again. “Don’t make me regret it.” He said simply as you stopped, eyes widening in realization. 
“Wait so that’s a yes?!” Your smile widened despite his grimace.
“I said don’t make me regret it.” He repeated, his tone harsh, but once again you ignored it.
“Ok! The movie comes out this Friday! I was thinking about the 6:30 showing. We can meet here if you want?” You suggested as he grumbled something to himself before spinning around to look at you again. 
“I’ll be at your room at 5.” He said beginning to walk away.
“But the movie doesn’t start until 6:30...”
“We’re getting food first.” Bakugou answered like it was the most obvious thing in the world. Your eyes widened but you said nothing, simply nodding before you sped up your steps again, walking next to him quietly as you both headed back to the dorms. 
You got in the elevator with him, the doors closing as you both remained silent, though you would sneak glances his way every now and then. You got to your room, stopping to unlock the door, not even realizing Bakugou had walked out of the elevator behind you, stopping and leaning against the wall opposite your door.
“What color do you like?” He questioned, startling you as you dropped your key staring at him with a hand to your heart. 
“Wh-what?” You blinked.
“What color do you like Dumbass?” He repeated a little more irritated than before.
“My favorite color? Why?”
“Just answer the question Dumbass!” His voice grew louder as you chuckled at his outburst.
“My favorite color is (your favorite color).” You answered simply as he nodded once and walked away. 
Tumblr media
TIME SKIPPPPP
Tumblr media
It was finally Friday and you had finished with school and had done your homework. You finished touching up your outfit and putting on your makeup (if you wear it, if not just ignore that). 
You turned to glance at the clock, being interrupted when a knock sounded at your door. You grabbed your phone and bag (if you want one, if not just ignore that) and opened your door. 
There stood Katsuki Bakugou wearing jeans and a black t-shirt. He stuck his hand out as a faint pink dusted his cheeks, revealing a small bundle of flowers in your favorite color. A smile grew on your face as you took the flowers from him.
“Thanks Baku.” You said softly. “I love them.” You put the flowers on your desk in a half full water bottle, reminding yourself that on the way back you had to stop to get a proper vase for them.
You closed the door behind you, sneakily sliding your brown hand into his paler one as you walked down the hall towards the elevator. He didn’t protest to having your hand in his so you left it, not noticing the faint smile that sat on his lips.
Bakugou took you to a ramen restaurant and ordered the spiciest thing on the menu for himself and the second spiciest thing for you. 
“I could’ve ordered for myself, you know?” You said as you both began to eat, the ramen arriving after a short amount of time. 
“You can order next time.” He said after a moment causing your face to heat up at the realization. Next time.
“Let me try yours.” You pleaded, holding your chopsticks out. He rolled his eyes yet obliged, as you took some of his and you held your bowl out to him, offering some of yours.
“Mine’s better.” He remarked as you rolled your eyes with a smile. You talked about random things and about the movie which was supposed to be an adaption of a show you loved and that you had been waiting a year for it to come out. (Let’s pretend it’s The Last Airbender movie).
Over dinner, you learned that Bakugou liked it too and you began arguing about which nation was the best. Of course he said Fire Nation, but you said that Water Nation was best because Katara and Sokka were the best. 
“You know, Zuko’s pretty hot.” You said before drinking some water, watching as he started rolling his eyes and growing irritated. He was jealous.
“Whatever.” He huffed.
“Not you getting jealous over a fictional character.” You said teasingly, trying to hold in your giggles as his eyes narrow slightly and he scoffs at you, but doesn’t deny it. “Don’t worry Katsu, I only like one Hothead.”
“Damn right.” He replied proudly. “Hey who are you calling Hothead?!”
“You.” You replied. “Come on let’s go to the movies before we miss the previews!” You said as you took out your wallet at the same time he did. He pushed your hand away as he got money out.
“No.” He said simply as you continued to both try and put money to pay.
“Katsuki. I’m not letting you pay for me.” You said simply. You didn’t like when people paid for you. (When the author interjects herself into the character 😙) 
“No (Y/N).” He said, shoving the money in before snatching the check from the table before you could do anything. He ended up paying and you pouted at him. “What’s wrong with you now Big Hair?”
“I wanted to go Dutch.” You said as he rolled his eyes, before taking your hand in his again. (going dutch means splitting the bill in half, so you would each pay half.)
“Next time.” he replied simply before pulling you into the theater. Damn it, he did it again! Next time...
You both got into the theater, which was at the moment fairly empty since you had gotten there early to get the best seats. You pulled Bakugou around the theater to find the best seats, doing it twice until you finally decided on the seats right in the middle of the theater. “Are you done now?” Bakugou questioned with a raised eyebrow. Though he wouldn’t admit it, he found it cute what you had just done...though he seemed to be finding everything you were doing cute simply because it was you. 
“Yes.” You said triumphantly before tossing some popcorn into your mouth. The theaters filled up a short while later and before you knew it, the movie was starting. 
The arm rest between the two seats you were both in moved up, so the explosive blonde pushed it up and pulled you closer to him as you held the popcorn in your lap. You looked at him a small smile on your face, and he was thankful it was dark so you couldn’t see him blushing. 
It had only been two minutes into the movie and you already were angry about it, frowning at the way they had already pronounced avatar and it had only been the first lines of the script. “It’s Avatar not Oh-vatar.” You grumpily stated as Bakugou raised an eyebrow not expecting you to say anything, though you had been right. 
You were trying your best not to get angry, but M. Night Shyamalan was making it very hard. You were doing fairly alright and stuck to just angrily eating popcorn until this scene came up. 
Tumblr media
(disgraceful...a joke....can you tell I'm not salty 😒)
“You’ve gotta be kidding me! This movie is a fucking joke!” You said letting some popcorn fall out of your hand as Bakugou tried to hide his smirk by eating popcorn. 
It wasn’t like you were the only disappointed one either, the theater was full of fans and they were all disappointed. 
“It’s a steaming pile of shit!” You said angrily, looking over to see if Bakugou was agreeing with you. He simply looked at you with raised eyebrows.
“Can you stop cursing? There are children present!” A woman said standing up in the middle of the theater, a few rows below you. She wildly gestured towards her six year old son sitting there looking embarrassed by his mother. He was gently tugging her sleeve to get her to sit down, but she wasn’t budging as she stared at you.
“Shut up Karen!” You called, rolling your eyes. She looked around to see who had said that as Bakugou burst out laughing.
“You are a horribly disrespectful child! Your mother should’ve raised you better! Letting you curse like that, she should be ashamed.”
“Hey shut the fuck up, shitty woman! Don’t talk about her like that!” Bakugou said angrily, creating sparks in his hand, his red eyes narrowing at the middle aged woman. The woman began sobbing and screaming as employees shut the lights on and the woman pointed the two of you out saying that you had threatened her and her son.
Needless to say, you had been kicked out of the theater and banned and the movie had ended for the night, though most people thanked you for them out of their misery. 
“What a bitch.” You mumbled as the two of you decided to walk around the downtown area since the movie had ended earlier than you had expected.
Katsuki Bakugou didn’t say anything but the smirk on his lips said enough. “What?” You questioned curiously.
“Nothing.” He said shaking his head as you walked into a store to buy a vase for the flowers that were in your dorm. When you arrived back at your dorm, the two of you hadn’t really talked that much walking back, but you didn’t need to it wasn’t an awkward silence...it was nice. “Next Friday.” He said simply before beginning to walk to his room. 
You grabbed his wrist to stop him, confused by what he had just said. “What?” You questioned, your eyes searching his face. 
“Dinner. Next Friday.” He said simply. “I’ll message you. Goodnight, Big Hair.”
“N-Night Hothead.” You called back after a moment seeing him walk away towards the elevator. He didn’t turn around, and you couldn’t tell from where you stood but he was smiling. Next Time.

Light My Heart and Light My Shadow
I did say I was working on an Apocalypse Kastle AU fic and given the state of the world, it gave me the final push to finish the damn thing. While also getting inspiration from others sources and getting great support from @carry-the-sky and @witchygagirl. Thank you both for beta reading!
So the idea to write this AU first came about from If The World Was Ending by JP Saxe ft. Julia Michaels. Then Starkid came out with a new musical called Black Friday and well, once again, I am slightly ripping off another source material for their scenarios but then making it Kastle. That’s how I make my fics happen these days apparently.
If you’ve seen the musical, you probably know what’s coming but if you haven’t it’s okay, you can still go along with it. But also watch it cause it’s awesome (if you’re into apocalyptic musicals).
Either way, a year has passed since the hospital visit in TPS2, the world is ending now, and Frank and Karen are navigating it together.  
Enjoy!
It’s dark when Frank wakes.
But that doesn’t stop the flashbacks. Or really the vivid remembrance of the last week and a half. When the world ended. Or is it still ending? He doesn’t know at this point.
I swear Micro if you don’t find Karen...
It’s been a year Frank, you really expect me to go anywhere with you...
The world is literally on fire Frank you need to get out of here...
This is the apocalypse. This is the end, not even Daredevil can stop it. Find Karen, Frank. Take care of her for me. Tell her that I’m sorry and that Foggy will always be there for her. In this lifetime or the next. Just please... go.
Karen please... let’s go.
Frank realizes he’s lying in an aisle, a row of seats on either side of him. The floor is sticky and he can smell a faint trace of buttered popcorn underneath the smoke from the fires.
How the fuck did he end up in a movie theater? And where is Karen?
He gets up and his right side flares up in pain. He groans as he reaches out into the black to find a seat. He manages to find an arm rest to sit down on.
The lights turn on and a door opens. Frank whips around. It’s Karen.
“Hey you shouldn’t be up, you’re gonna rip the stitches...”
“Where the hell are we Karen?”
“In an AMC I think? I don’t know, it’s a movie theater and you were stabbed. I had to get us away from...”
“Right. Who were they?”
“I don’t know. People driven to madness? I wouldn’t rule out zombies at this point. You’re gonna be fine though, I don’t think the knife hit any organs as for as I could tell.”
“How’d you patch me up?”
“I found a first aid kit in the box office. I think we’ll be safe here for now, I checked every door and I locked it. And if I couldn’t lock it I barricaded it. Ticket stations, chairs, tables, anything I could find...”
“You did good Karen.” He reassures her.
“Thank you.”
“No thank you...”
He looks at her. Past the grime and the dark circles under her eyes she is still so beautiful. He notices her eyebrows are knitted together and he then realizes that she is waiting for him to finish his sentence.
“...For, uh, coming with me. Still trusting me even after the hospital...” He spills out.
“Well it’s hard to fake an apocalypse, Frank.”
The silence is tense but Karen breaks into a laugh and Frank smiles for the first time in a year. It’s a brief moment of respite in the middle of hell.
“The world didn’t need to end though. It shouldn’t have had to come to that. I shouldn’t have walked away from you. Stayed away as long as I did. I’m sorry.”
“It’s okay. I forgive you.”
Frank turns to the movie screen. He leans all the way back and rests against the wall.
“Jesus I can’t remember the last time I went to the movies. Not like I’d remember them. I, uh, only went to whatever latest animated movie Lisa and Frankie were obsessing over that also happened to have merchandise to buy.”
Karen smiles, leans back and rests against the wall.
“I had to do a couple movie reviews for The Bulletin. Trust me, you really weren’t missing much on the non-animated side. It was either about superheroes or cars or... the end of the world.”
And just like that hell comes rushing back in and Frank feels his adrenaline spike.
“Yeah we shouldn’t stay here. We gotta keep moving Karen...”
Frank starts to get up but he feels her hand grab his wrist.
“No Frank. I’m tired. I’m so goddamn tired I just want to...”
He takes her hand off and clasps in between his as he sits back down.
“God even after a year you... you still rip my heart out Frank. Even as the world burns around us my biggest fear is that I’m gonna wake up tomorrow and you’re gonna be gone.”
“I’m not going anywhere Karen. I’m never gonna say goodbye to you unless you ask me to.”
“What if I give you a reason to?”
“No reason could ever...”
“I killed my brother.”
Tears start to fall but he doesn’t let go of her hand.
“I think that’s why... your case. It wasn’t just that something wasn’t right. I realized long after that trial... I think deep down somewhere I was reaching out to you like a lifeline. To help me make sense of this loss that just consumes me some days. On those days I can still smell the blood, the burning asphalt of the pavement, feel the scream in my chest when I looked over and saw Kevin motionless next to me...”
Karen covers her mouth with her hands and a muffled, strangled sob comes out. Frank has her in his arms a moment later and doesn’t let go for a long time. Mixed in with her cries she recounts that awful night to him, learns of Todd, her father, her mother.
“It’s okay Karen.” He keeps telling her. 
Nothing about what is going on is okay but he will say it for her. Say it until it’s a mantra and she believes it will be again.
...
They stay in that movie theater for a few days. All was safe and sound and Frank reluctantly agreed that he was also goddamn tired. He and Karen had been on the run, it was only a matter of time before they had to stop.
The movie theater turned out to be the ideal hideaway. Once Frank got one of the generators to work out they had electricity and plumbing. And when Karen found the stockroom, the food problem was solved. Yes it was greasy and sugary shit but it was better than nothing.
“I wonder if we could get the projector to work.” Karen muses while eating Raisinets.
“Then we really wouldn’t have a reason to leave.” Frank says as he bites into a chicken tender.
On their second night Frank finds Karen reading training manuals behind the box office counter.
“Hey.”
“Hey.”
“Thinking of changing careers?” He asks as he cracks a side smile at her.
She rolls her eyes but a small smile appears.
“Come on, I got something to show you.”
Frank leads them to the auditorium and, hopefully, if Frank timed this right...
Let's all go to the lobby To get ourselves a treat
“You didn’t.” Karen exclaims.
“If you ever decide to open a movie theater, let me know if you need a projectionist. Only took me a day and half to figure out the damn thing.”
They go inside and take their seats. They have their snacks and Frank can almost forget what is happening outside.
“What movie are we watching?”
“Yeah about that...”
Jingle bells suddenly ring out and the movie title appears in bright red letters:
Santa Claus Is Going to High School
“Oh no...” Karen gasps as she leans forward, her hands gripping the back of the seat in front of hers.
“Yeah sorry this was the only movie that I could get to play.”
“Oh God I had to see this movie. For The Bulletin.”
“Shit. I would pick the one movie you’ve actually seen...”
“Yeah after that I told Ellison I was never going to do the movie reviews again and to give those pieces to the interns.”
“What’s it about?”
“Um.. so Santa Claus finds out that every kid in the world is on the naughty list. He realizes he may be out of touch so he turns himself into a teenager to... I guess to get back in touch with them? Or to spy on them... it’s bad Frank. It’s Never Been Kissed but make it Christmas.”
Frank laughs.
“High school, huh?”
“Yeah... why anyone would willing go back to high school I could never...”
“I would.”
Karen turns her attention away from the movie and onto him.
“Really?” She asks skeptically.
“Does that surprise you?”
“Kind of. Let me guess... quarterback?”
“Offensive line. And wrestling. I was a jock, what can I say? But high school... I liked the structure though and even the, uh, learning... when it wasn’t hard. What about you?”
“Please don’t.”
“Karen...”
“I told you I was...”
“You said yourself that was end of senior year. When you met Todd. Are you telling me that was when your life began? That there was nothing before the drugs?”
“Don’t be an asshole Frank. Okay? I played basketball, I contributed to my school’s literary magazine and... I’m not that girl anymore.”
Karen gets up but Frank grabs her arm.
“You don’t have to be.”
“What are we doing Frank? The world is fucking ending and here we are reminiscing about high school...”
“And? Jesus Karen I was just trying to...”
“What?”
“I don’t know, forget? Just for a moment forget all the shit that has happened to me? Who I’ve been for the last four years? Tonight I just wanted to be a man, seeing a movie with a beautiful woman, and hope that there was something still there.”
“Frank we can’t just... forget.”
“Why not? It’s you and me. You and me at the end of the world with no reason to run away or leave or to say goodbye. No past. No future. Just now. And I want you.”
He reaches for her and takes her hands in his.
“You’ve forgiven me time and time again. Even when I don’t deserve it. Please let me...” He pleads as he runs his thumbs over her wrists.
“Do you mean it Frank?”
“I do.”
His forehead lightly bumps into hers. The movie has been white noise from the start but in this moment the screen goes white, bathing Karen in a color other than red and black for the first time. It’s like daylight and he feels like he could cry. But then she pulls her hands from his and places them over his heart and the touch alone sends a shudder through him.
“We have got to work on our timing.” She whispers as her fingertips press deeper into his chest.
And then she kisses him. He opens his mouth as she grabs his face in fierce desperation. He goes to work on getting his flannel shirt off and she decides to help. They have both forgotten how buttons work but they manage to get it off. As Karen pulls Frank by his tank top, they fall on the linoleum floor in an ungraceful thud. Her fingernails dig into his shoulders and he’s got his hand under her shirt groping at her breast when...
“A red tricycle!”
“Santa!”
A crowd starts cheering and Frank is pulled out of the moment. He makes a face trying to imagine what could be on screen right now and snorts into Karen’s neck. She sighs and grabs the back of his neck like a puppy being pulled by their scruff. Her stare is deadly and Frank is all ears now.
“Really Frank? The movie is that distracting?”
Despite her tone her face and neck are flushed red and yeah, fuck that movie.
“Sorry. Let me see if I can...”
He sticks his hand down the front of her pants, determined to make that movie the last thing on their minds. The world is ending and it’s now or never to see where this thing between them will go. But whatever comes tomorrow, they’ll take it on together.

Ladrien Week: Piano
@ladrienjune
Ao3 Fanfiction
Mushy fluff is the best fluff.
I would say I'm sorry, but I'm not.
So, yeah, enjoy. Sorry about it being mostly Adrienette, Its hard to fit Ladrien in something like this where they now can't be seen together, but I'll be trying my best the next few chapters.
"I'm so happy that we were able to get front row seats to Adrien's recital!"
Chloe looked up from where she had been filing her nails. "Of course Adrikins would make sure to give us front row seats, especially Agreste over there." She pointed to Marinette.
Said girl arched an eyebrow. "Did you just call me Adrien's last name?"
She shrugged as she continued to trim her nails. "If the shoe fits, wear it. Sometimes you gotta break in the shoe before you wear it, just so you get used to it.I won't be calling you Dupain-Cheng for forever you know."
She looked to Alya, silently asking her what the blond between them meant by that. "You are dating him, girl. Can't really blame her."
Marinette's nose scrunched and she glared at her best friend. "Thanks."
She smiled. "Just doing my job."
"Look, dudes." Nino pointed to the line in front of them. "Lines moving. Let's get going. I wanna see my bro proform already."
They finally got inside the rather luscious theater, escaping the nippy autumn air that was starting to accumulate. They took their seats in the front, Marinette having Chloe sit on her left and Alya to her direct right while Nino was on the other side of Alya.
There was light chatter spreading about the crowd of thousands of people. While Marinette wasn't one for fancy outings— it was a black tie event and everything— she was excited to see Adrien play the piano.
Adrien's father entered a few minutes after the five were seated, with both Kagami and her mother on either side of him.
That was normal though. Even if she was Adrien' s girlfriend— and he proudly boasted about that the past two months, much to her blush— they still invited Kagami and her mother to social events of the like, seeing as their parents were still business partners.
They were civil towards each other, and Marinette had apologized for the whole movie premiere incident, which Kagami fully accepted, and apologized for her own standoffish behavior at times when it came to trying to win over Adrien.
She even said she was happy for the couple, and wished them the best. But the young designer could tell there was still an air of tension between everyone, or maybe it was just a bit of heartbreak because Adrien was with her and not the fencer. Either way, Marinette couldn't help the small twinge of guilt every so often.
But, tonight seemed to be one of the better nights for the two girls, because as Kagami passed, she gave a nod with a smile towards Marinette in greeting, and she reciprocated the action. Progress could be made every once and a while at least.
As the lights in the theater started to dim with the last of the guest finally filed in, Marinette turned her attention to the stage as the spotlight as shone.
There were a few acts ahead of Adrien's, and while she did her best to pay attention to them, she just wasn't as invested. They were good though, and she clapped along every time a piece ended.
Then Adrien took front and center, he looked out into the crowd and when he spotted them, gave a wave, and blew her a kiss.
The audience awed at that.
She blushed. That kitty of hers was something else.
Alya poked her in the stomach with her elbow. "I bet Mr. Hot stuff is enjoying this much more with his princess here."
Marinette's eyes narrowed. "You know, I always thought that after Adrien and I got together, the teasing would actually stop."
She snorted. "You wish."
Adrien began to play, and the blogger huffed at having to cease her playing.
Marinette smiled and gave her full attention to her boyfriend. The song he played— it was one that his father insisted he played — was elegant, something that she had heard him practice often, especially when she would pay him late night visits as Ladybug. The build up was heartwarming, and she loved listening to it.
She could listen to him playing the piano for hours on end and would still be sad when it ended. But all good things must come to a close.
As the key ended the final note, he stood from his bench as a round of applause echoed throughout the room, and gave a low bow. The group of five stood from their seats to cheer him on either further.
Adrien grabbed his papers, and started to make his way off the stage, he looked over his shoulder, and shot her a wink.
Every time she thought she couldn't fall in love with him anymore, she just kept falling with no ground in sight.
But she knew if anything would catch her, in the end, it would be Adrien's arms.
She was halfway out the door when a hand grabbed and halted her. She turned to see Adrien standing there with a soft smile on his lips. His father stood next to him, Kagami and her mother just behind. "Hey, princess. Do you think you could stay back for a bit? I have a surprise for you."
She eyed him suspiciously, but nodded anyway.
She glanced at Alya, who instantly agreed. "I'll get these two dorks home safe and sound."
Chloe seemed to take offense at that. "One time! You get lost once, because it was dark, mind you and you just saw a scary movie for the first time in your life, and it carries throughout the rest of your life!"
"You lived a block away."
Chloe shrunk at that. "Yeah, okay. Fair point."
The two allowed themselves to be dragged away.
The mother and daughter came up to congratulate Adrien on a job well done, and bid them a nice night.
Gaberial looked at the two before looking at the Gorilla. "I need to get home, and I can guess you'll be a bit. I'll have your driver come back and fetch you. Goodnight, Marinette."
She nodded. "You as well, sir."
Once the cost was cleared, she spun around to her boyfriend, eyeing him suspiciously.. "What're you up to, kitty?"
The knowing smirk festered. "Oh, you know. Things." And without another word, scooped her up bridal style, causing her to giggle and carried her down the hall and back to the performance room. He took her up the steps and over to the piano, sitting her down gently on the bench.
He joined her on the other side of the seat and she couldn't help but ask, "You gotta tell me what's going on, hot stuff? I'm lost here."
He smiled a smile he reversed only for her. "I did a song that my father really had been wanting to do. But this." His fingers brushed the keys of the piano lightly, preparing for the song was about to play. "This one I made for only special ears to hear.."
With that, he played, and he played beautifully. The melody started out slowly, bringing a soft tune to the overly large room. The tempo continued to climb further and further with every note and it brought her to tears. Her hand went to her heart as she scootched even closer to him, allowing little space between the two.
As the song came to its climax, it was loud and powerful, and filled with so many emotions, but it was all harmonically balanced together. It was filled with love, and happiness, and warmth in each press of the keys. It sounded like everything good that was in the world. It fit, just like a puzzle piece. Just like them.
As it lowered down from the climax, it grew soft again, every part connecting just so, and with the final few notes, the song gracefully faded off quietly into a completed end.
It was everything, and it came from the man she loved most, Marinette knew she would want to listen to the song on repeat whenever possible, and she didn't care. She was sobbing up a storm, but Adrien was there to wrap an arm around her and kiss her forehead.
Curiosity flooded her. "What. What was that song called?"
He smiled. "Isn't it obvious?"
She shook her head.
"It's called Lovebug."
I hope you enjoyed! Please lemme know your thoughts! Lots of love!
Husband note:
I usually would like to leave something funny, but for this one, I would like to suggest a piece of music to go along with the chapter. While I can't say my choice in song is what was intended I found the Piano cover of "This is me" is a fair companion piece to this chapter.
Also, Chloe and Alya would make a Social Media powerhouse. Just putting that out there.

Head Over Heels from the Scarf I Lent Her  Chapter 9 — A Movie, and Friends
It was a short walk from the Italian place to the theaters, which seem busier than usual. Maybe it’s because Men Over Flours is such a hit. According to the schedule, there’s exactly 10 minutes left until the theater doors open.
“It looks like we’re right on time.” “Oh, good. I’m really looking forward to it. It’s my first time coming to a cinema as well.” “You’ve been missing out. The atmosphere here is totally different compared to home. I’m sure you’ll enjoy it.” “I never knew…”
Seeing her eyes light up made Tooru feel all warm and fuzzy inside.
He much prefers her bright smile over her gloomy expression.
After getting their tickets from the box office, they headed inside. You can really tell how popular Men Over Flours is just by the herd of people at the vending machines.
The two of them were also squished together because of the people. Being so close to Satsuki and catching her scent made Tooru’s heart race.
Fortunately, Tooru literally stands out due to his height, so they probably wouldn’t lose each other in the crowd. But if they do, it feels like they’ll be separated forever. So, he gently places his hand on her shoulder, causing her to blush bright red.
“Umm…” “Sorry. Bear with me for a moment, alright? I don’t want to lose you in this crowd.” “... alright.”
Satsuki looks relieved to hear so. He was afraid she’d hate him for it, but he’s glad that wasn’t the case. In fact, it seems like it even calmed her down. And with his hand on her shoulder, they arrived in front of the vending machines selling fountain drinks and popcorn in various sizes.
“What is this?” “Well, you’ve just gotta get popcorn and drinks when you come to the theaters, right? Since we just ate, why don’t we get a small?” “I’ll let you pick… sorry.” “Oh, that’s right, it’s your first time. Let’s go with the small then.”
Tooru sticks enough money into the machine to buy a cola for himself and a tea for Satsuki. Then, they wait for the movie to start with their snacks and drinks in hand.
“I’m pumped for the movie.” “Same for me. And a romance film at that too. Though it’s slightly embarrassing for some reason.” “Hahaha. I know what you mean. But I get to watch it with you, so I’m sure it’ll be great.”
She looks up at Tooru then smiles and says, “Me too,” in a voice so faint, it’s almost unnoticeable. A chime rings, signalling that it’s time to head in.
“Shall we?” “Let’s!”
The tickets were for fairly decent seats—a center row and right in the middle of the screen. After they sit down together, Tooru sticks his drink in his cupholder, holding his popcorn in his lap. Watching and learning, Satsuki does the same and digs into her popcorn. Just as the rest of the audience fill the house, another chime plays signalling the start of the film.
It’s a pretty typical chick flick. A cute girl dresses as a guy, gets into an all-boys school, and falls in love with a classmate. And even though it’s technically a reverse harem, the heroine gets together with a guy after some ups and downs.
Tooru guessed that much from simply seeing the poster.
But, as the movie reached its climax, he glances over at Satsuki…
Tears. Like the ones he’s seen before. She holds a handkerchief to her cheeks as she silently weeps. Tooru fixed his gaze on her—a scene more fleeting the ones on the big screen.
What if he ever made her cry? No matter what, it’d hurt him too. To hurt a girl who adores him so much would be absolutely shameful.
Tooru promises himself to never make her cry like this. And then, he looks back at the screen.
The final scene of the film shows two people kissing.
“That was such a great movie.” “Yeah, it was good.”
Satsuki, still sobbing uncontrollably, sits down on a bench and Tooru takes the seat beside her. She wets her handkerchief and applies it to her red, puffy eyes. Her tears keep rolling, spilling down onto her skirt.
“I never knew romance films could be so wonderful.” “You like it that much?” “I do. Two people in love and getting together—it’s like fantasy, but yet possible. It’s like a dream.”
You’re the one like a dream, he almost said. But, not only shouldn’t he butt into her feelings, saying that would be the same as confessing to her.
She continues to weave her words.
“Sometimes, I wish I were the heroine in a tale like that. It’d be so… never mind. Sorry for saying something so weird.” “Naw, it’s not weird. Ever since I was a kid, I’ve always wanted to be a character from a manga.” “You too?” “Yeah.”
His gentle, calming tone gives her reassurance.
“Thank goodness. I thought I would sound like a total weirdo. We’re like two peas in a pod then.” “That we are.”
They chuckled together. It seems like Satsuki has finally stopped crying too.
“I’m all good now. Thank you.” “Hmm, let’s sit for a little longer; your eyes are still quite red.”
Satsuki dabs the wet handkerchief at her eyes again. She looks more relaxed now, as if the cool water is very soothing.
“Say…” “Hmm?” “Are you this nice to your classmates as well?”
What a surprise question.
He wasn’t planning to treat the girls in his class especially nice or mean. It’s not like he can get a decent girlfriend with Satsuki around either.
Not to mention, Tooru didn’t understand her motives behind the question. How should he answer? What answer is she looking for? Frankly, the question is making him feel a little awkward.
“I… don’t know. Well, I’m not mean to them, but I wouldn’t say I’m particularly nice either…” “Is that so? I imagined that you’re always so kind. Your classmates sure are lucky…”
So exaggerated, Tooru thought.
“How about your class? Have you made any friends?”
He’s wondered about this before too. It’s been a week since school has started for her, so she’s bound to have made a friend or two, right? so thought Tooru in this moment. Satsuki made a long face in response. It was too late by the time Tooru realized he stepped on a landmine.
“My father and sister are very strict about the people I meet. The boys come talk to me once in a while, but I’m not particularly interested.”
He had totally forgotten about Amane. But, knowing how Amane is, it wasn’t very surprising for Tooru to hear. You could say even say that Amane is indirectly attacking her sister again. As for the boys talking to her, they definitely have ulterior motives. There wasn’t much Tooru could do.
“... hey, Satsuki?”
Satsuki looked up, flustered by Tooru suddenly calling her by her first name.
“Umm, yes?” “Satsuki, may I be your friend?” “Huh? But…” “Feel free to say no. It’s just that… not having a single friend would be too lonely.”
She grips her handkerchief with all her might. This is all Tooru can do for her. Please, just laugh. Satsuki eases up a bit, then speaks up.
“… with pleasure.”
Another stream of tears rolled down her cheek. But this time, it’s different—these are tears of joy. The proof is in her smile. Tooru feels like he’s finally given something back to her, even if it really is trivial. Just as long as it makes her happy. There’s no way to completely take her mind off of Amane. But to think that someone out there is hurting this sweet, brave girl… It’s unforgivable.
“I won’t be able to come visit your class at school or anything… if you’re alright with that.” “Yes. I wouldn’t want to be a burden to you either.”
Satsuki nods. Tooru nods back in return. He feels as if he had connected with her, even if only a little.
“Let’s go home, shall we? My mouth is watering just thinking about your cooking.” “Geez, you’re hopeless. I’m going to go all out tonight.”
The girl gets up from her seat with her face free from fraught.

Y’all I saw  Bandstand last night
Warning this is literally 7 pages worth of writing so long post ahead 
Where do I even begin oh god
Ok so first off the Jacobs theater is absolutely stunning
Like wow
So we were sitting right orchestra like row H or something
We were pretty close to the stage
ThE sTaGe
Oh god it was beautiful
Like the drum kit was so nice
Generally the stage set up was fantastic
Ok so we’re waiting for the show to begin when I hear a group of girls who were sitting behind us freaking out
I couldn’t really hear what they were saying except I heard one of them say something like “Anthony Rapp is here”
I was like holy shit
That ain’t true
Then my friend leans over all excited
She was like “Did you hear them? Anthony Rapp and Lin Manuel Miranda are here!”
I was like HoLy SHIt  
Then a minute for so later I look behind us and there he is
Two rows behind me
Anthony fucking Rapp
Mark Cohen was there
So i’m like freaking the fuck out
Because well
It’s fucking Anthony Rapp
I got into like panic mode
Then all the light go off
Holy shit
Lighting
I’ve said this before but just a reminder
I”M A HOE FOR GOOD LIGHTING
Just like it was before starts off with a bunch of booms and flashes of lights
It’s intense my dude
Donny is yelling at everyone
There's guys running everywhere
Julia is also on stage during this part
She’s looking all cute and happy putting some flowers into a vase
Julia moves the the middle of the stage and one of the guys goes with her
He salutes Julia and she just fucking collapses to the floor
She starts sobbing
It’s completely heartbreaking because you realize that was when she was told about Michael
The Donny moves to the front of the stage when the music changes and the other guys come out in a different uniform and Donny’s like
It’s over
It’s actually over
Then the music changes again and so do all the costumes
My girl Carleigh Bettiol
She’s so beautiful omg
Corey Cott is so cute
All the costumes are so nice like I want one
Donald Novitski
Somebody let this boy sleep
Somebody also give this boy a job
When he yells “GET OUT” it’s really upsetting
Like you don’t really understand it but like he looks so sad
“He’s got a baby face” Yeah so does Corey
Donny tries to get into a fist fight with the club owner who won’t hire him
Donny gets beat up because of this
Don’t beat up Donny please
The PTSD attack Donny has at his piano is so intense
Wow
Corey is such a good actor
I love Donny Novitski
The song
Well also the character
Corey does this little shimmy while singing and it’s really cute
CREAMEEE RISEEEEES
Corey’s little laugh after talking about Frank Sinatra is so pure
The fake
“HE’S SO FLAT UGH”
Donny takes off his button up and is walking around in a white tank top
God that boy looks good
The last rise note
It’s so good
So good
Jimmy aw
Jimmy’s so cute
“I would fire the kid if we wasn’t a player”
Donny runs in
“You can’t be in here. We’re not open yet”
“The back door is”
Donny just tells Jimmy he was friends with Michael and makes Jimmy play a song as he starts playing the piano
I live for playing instruments live on stage
Everyone calls Michael Rubber and it’s funny  
“ He’s better than anyone...when he’s not high…”
“Jesus”
“He’s army too”
“I’ll take my chances!”
“WOAH! He plays at the Rio??”
“No. He drinks there”
Davey is just telling stupid jokes at the bar
So Donny joins in
“ What does an accordion and Hitler have in common”
Oh god Donny
“ One perpetrated years of oppression and humiliation on Polish people and the other one is Hitler”
Davey reads Shakespeare
I love Davey
Nick is a teacher and absolutely hates it
Nick you’re such a bad teacher
Johnny is my favorite
He’s so pure
Ain’t we proud is such a  good song
Donny and Julia finally meet
“Aren’t you a little old for ding dong ditch?”
“Well are you gonna come here or am I gonna have to keep yelling down the street”
Julia invites Donny over for dinner
Every single time Laura starting singing I got chills
Julia’s mom is great
“The paprika shaker lid fell off”
Donny and Julia are going through pictures of Michael and Donny during the war
“We just got off the ship and i’m already ready tan because well, I’m Italian”
“ Michael is Polish so the boys boiling”
Michael was called Rubber because his last name was Trojan HAHA
Julia is a church singer
So ofc Donny shows up to church to hear he sing
She sings like a goddess
Donny is like ‘Holy shit’
So Donny invites Julia to see the Donny Novitski band
While their performing Donny like pressures Julia into singing at the set
First steps first is so slow at first then Donny is like guys speed it up
Davey is like thank god and rocks the bass
“Oh all I could do is teach the children at church”
“Don’t teach”
Donny changes his name to Donny Nova
Julia gets mad at Donny about something he said
He talks to her at her job the next day and fix everything
So Julia joins the band
Breathe is one of my favorite songs
“THEN I’M BREAKING THE RULE WAYNE”
The proud and tall part is my favorite
Donny and Julia are so cute
“Haha Hornagraphy”
I cried at the end of Breathe
You deserve it is such a bop
The dancing is so good
Davey stands on his bass while playing it
Julia gives Donny a book of poems she writes
And he turns one into a song for her to sing
So they sing Love will come and find me for the band competition
They get through and it’s so great
But then are told that the travel and hotel expenses for New York is all gonna have to come from them
That’s a lot of money that the band does not have
Davey gets pisses the fuck off and is rolling up his sleeves and I honestly thought he was gonna fight someone
He did not
But Donny has a really intense PTSD attack
Like the boy completely collapses and is shaking so badly
Yet again a great example as to why Corey Cott is such a good actor
So Julia runs over to him
But everyone freezes and Donny starts singing Right this way
Slowly everyone starts moving again
It’s a really tense moment
So all the boys and Julia get together and decide to book as many gigs as they can because god damnit they are going to New York
Nobody
So good
Back at it again with the amazing dancing
The costumes are so nice
Julia sings upside down at one point and it’s amazing
My queen Laura Osnes is amazing
Johnny’s drumming part was cute
This is such an iconic song
The boys are back
They’re going to new york
Johnny is drumming on Davey’s bass as Davey downs an entire bottle of beer
Wayne’s wife left him so he moves in with Nick
Julia and Donny are at her house and they’re just talking it’s real cute
Julia picks up a ukulele and starts playing I got a theory
Donny joins her and it's cute
God I love these two
They all get so excited when they get offered the extra cash
Johnny the mathematician
“I am not suffering from what some people call alcoholism….I’m LOVING EVERY MOMENT OF IT”
Davey puts his hat on Julia
Julia’s red dress is so cute
Julia gets fired from her job because she wanted to take off to go to New York
Her father left her mom and her
Donny tells Julia everything
Michael and Donny were in a trench when they threw two grenades but Donny dropped his and couldn’t find it in time
Donny got out before it exploded but Michael didn’t
Julia stops coming to gigs and is avoiding the band
Everything happens is such a good song
Julia’s mom loves her so much
Julia talks to Donny and they sort things out
She wrote a poem about the boys during the war
And gives it to Donny
The second she said that she wrote something
I started crying
Because I knew
I knew Welcome Home was starting
I love Welcome Home
It’s my favorite song
So I cried a lot
THe dancing during the instrumental part of welcome home made me cry because it’s so beautiful
ALSO
I DID NOT KNOW WELCOME HOME ROMANTIC WAS IN THE SHOW
I THOUGHT IT WAS A DELETED SONG
BUT THEN SHE WAS SINGING AND SAID HERO INSTEAD OF BOYS
I STARTED CRYING SO HARD
OH MY GOD
When I first heard the romantic version I figured it was about Michael but I seriously think about her writing it to Donny now
Anyway the band ends up not having to pay for New York and it’s great
THE COSTUME CHANGES
I know we always talk about Laura’s but omg Corey’s
He looks so good
Then queen Laura does the spin chance and it's amazing
Johnny looks so good
The train scene is really cool
I love that Julia calls Donny kid
I love how Davey says in my life
Get Davey to a nightclub
Donny loosen up a bit
So Donny walks Julia back to her hotel room
They kiss and honestly it was so pure
I love them
“What a prick”
So the Donny Nova band is performing as the finale of the contest
But the day of the show Jimmy was reading over a paper that the company made Donny sign
It basically says that if they go out there and perform then the company owns their song and can do whatever they want with it
The band gets pissed the fuck off
Like they are mad
But like they still wanna do something
So Donny is like ‘ Julia do you remember every original word to welcome home’
She says yes but if they sing that then they could get blacklisted
They do it anyway
“What I feel for you Julia is true”
Donny and Julia kiss
Welcome home finale
Oh boy
I BAWLED LIKE A BABY
Like I don’t think i’ve ever cried so much in my life
It’s such a powerful song
My parents and friend made fun of me for sobbing
I was a wreck
The epilogue is fantastic
The Donny Nova Band won the competition
They all go to see the movie their song was in
It was a bad movie
Two fans see the band at the end and one girl fucking jumps on Wayne
It’s so funny
God I love this show so much
I cried for another ten minutes after the show because this show deserves so much better
Why the fuck is this closing tomorrow
OK SO AFTER THE SHOW
I got a picture with Anthony Rapp and he is honestly so cute
“Where are you two from?” “New Jersey” “Ohhhhhh”
I was having trouble opening my phone camera and just
Anthony laughs and was like “You gotta get that ready. You gotta be prepared!” 
And “You know you could just slide up and have the camera” “I know but it’s not working” “Oh I see”  
Not much happened at stage door so whatever
Except I tweeted out to Carleigh the other day asking if she could stage door and she liked my tweet
Guess what
My girl pulled through and came out
I love her
So we’re driving home and I check twitter
Lin Manuel Miranda was also at the show
But not only that
My boy
The love of my life
Ben Fankhauser was there too
And I missed him
I’m so upset about that
I literally cried for 30 minutes because I didn’t see him
But anyway Bandstand was amazing and I love it
