I LOVE when you do hiwthi drabbles. The collar punishment oH GOD. Can we get a little public whump scenario the classic “don’t make a scene” or silent threats things
Public enemies
Jay shivered and punched his fists into his pockets, setting a brisk pace towards the station. The short walk already turned his fingers into popsicles and he somewhat regretted not bringing gloves. He hurried down the stairs. At least underground it was nice and warm. And stuffy...
And immensely crowded.
What with being in the business district, he’d thought more people here would be burning the midnight oil, but it seemed the usual rush hour applied here as well. He wasn’t the only one who was glad it was Friday evening. Gently bobbing along in the sea of people, he shuffled towards the platform.
Just when he’d found a somewhat calm spot to wait for his train, and his thoughts too started drifting to the weekend, something tugged on the strap of his bag. And before he could even turn to make sure he wasn’t being mugged, the person behind him already betrayed his identity. And his intentions.
An arm slithered around his and softly yanked him aside, pulling his elbow against leather.
“Hey, love,” a familiar voice crooned in his ear.
“Let go of me, what are you even doing here?”
Zayne gestured a thumb over his shoulder. “Did you forget this is the domain of the lord in the tower? Spotted you and followed.”
Jay deflated in a sigh, tipping his head down. “What a coincidence…” What an awful, awful coincidence.
“This time it was,” Zayne beamed, as if somewhat proud his stalking was actually not premeditated this time.
The hand around his arm relaxed a bit, but just when Jay wanted to step away, it slipped down to his wrist and disappeared into his pocket, caressing the top of his hand.
Jay resisted lightly, unable to get away from the touch but still showing it wasn’t welcome. Zayne didn’t even look at him. He stared at the entrance of the tunnel and merely let his fingers slide through Jay’s, nails digging into his palm in warning. And Jay had no choice to wait for the train with him. Not how he planned the start of his weekend.
A woosh of dry air signalled the arrival of the train and Zayne stepped forward, gently pulling a reluctant Jay along by their still entangled arms. They boarded together and Zayne spun lightly, dragging Jay to position him in front of him, nestling him into a corner in-between the doors and the seats.
Before Jay could even protest, the rest of the commuters effectively cut off his escape and, worse, pressed Zayne even closer to him. He was completely stuck in his little corner, Zayne resting his hand just next to his head, under the pretence of keeping himself steady on a moving train, but Jay knew better. It completely boxed him in.
“Cosy.” Zayne smiled down on him. “I don’t often take the tube. It’s a whole new…” he pressed up against Jay a little further and rested his other hand on Jay’s waist, “…experience.”
Jay glared up in response. He flailed ever so lightly, just shifting uncomfortably, trying left, right, up, down to find a way out. Zayne stood closer than ever, closer even than when he had him pinned against a wall, and it set off all alarm bells. Judging by the amusement in his eyes, Zayne seemed quite content with this happy accident, even when he was just as stuck as Jay.
The hand on his waist brushed up and disappeared under his open coat. It slipped under his pullover, feeling its way up the side of his abdomen and without fail instantly found the day-old fiercely purple bruise hidden under his button-up, just under the side of his ribcage.
Jay went rigid.
“Don’t,” he whispered, breathless as fingers touched over the sensitive spot, teasing out waves of something he couldn’t quite call pain. Yet.
“Hm?”
“There’s loads of people here!”
Zayne bent forward, head nearly resting against Jay’s forehead and he whispered, “Then you’d better keep quiet.”
His open palm hovered over the bruise, tilting until a thumb rested right onto its nearly black core. Fingers dug into his waist, one by one, starting with his pinky as if counting down to his thumb.
Jay tried to hold back a wince, exhaled sharply through clenched teeth when the dull pain shot through his abdomen.
“See, you can do it.” Zayne’s eyes narrowed in a smile, a fond and almost tender expression on his face as he watched Jay’s eyes furiously dart about.
Jay wasn’t exactly sure what he was looking for; hoping that someone would notice something was fishy and would help, or fiercely hoping the exact opposite: checking to make sure that no one was even looking at them. He was like 90% sure it was the latter…
“Relax,” Zayne whispered, “everyone is either sleeping or looking at their phone. Besides, they don’t want to look at a couple who’s clearly a little too keen on getting home quickly.”
“We’re not a couple! They won’t think that!” Jay shot back in a whisper-hiss.
“Oh. Then maybe I should make things more believable with a nice kiss.” He leaned forward again.
“Don’t you dare.”
Still, Jay slunk back, shoulder blades pressing hard into the partition as he tried to get as far away as possible from Zayne. It bought him maybe a few inches. And trying to slip his bag in front of him to create some distance only hid the hand groping under his coat from sight.
“I need to change here,” he tried as the train slowed down.
“No, you don’t,” Zayne simply said, “Easier at Liverpool Street.”
Despite Jay’s furious hoping that maybe the platforms had changed sides, the opposite doors opened.
Zayne’s hand relaxed and merely rested under Jay’s coat against his waist, as if keeping him steady and from falling over.
It disappeared for a moment in the bustle as – unfortunately – only more people squeezed right in again, only to be replaced by a closed fist this time. Knuckles brushed under his coat slithering fully out of sight to hide in the small space between the wall and the small of his back. And just when Jay expected the hand to open with fingers fondling his lower back, something clicked - literally - and he felt something sharp prod against his back instead.
His knife. Fucker had smuggled his knife under his coat, hidden by an embrace. His eyes widened, and he shifted forward to try and relief the pressure, but Zayne stepped even closer, a leg in-between his, turning lightly to push him back with his hip.
More teasing touches drew out a wince as Zayne’s other hand also slipped under his coat. Fingers roamed over his belt, dipped under to pull his shirt from his trousers and he felt the cold touch of the blade crawl over bare skin.
“You can't stab me here,” he whispered.
“I don’t see why not. Your coat will hide the blood, anyway.”
Jay blanched at that but still shot back, “I’ll scream and collapse and people will stop you!”
“Pff, you think these nine to fivers will step into the path of someone with a knife? No. They’ll do the right thing. They’ll stay with you, so they get the feeling they’re helping. And they’ll be kind to you, help you, send you to hospital.” He pressed closer and turned the knife over, scraping the edge over skin. ”And hospital will have questions. I've seen your torso yesterday, there's a lot of questions assembled on there."
His empty hand slithered over his ribs, searching until—
Jay hissed.
"Like, what caused this burn, Mr Fawcett?"
"Don't."
The hand slid away, further down. "What about this bruise?" Another stab of pain. "And this cut— oh, now that is very sensitive, sir. Look at that, just the barest touch and it's already bleeding through your shir--"
Jay gave a sharp gasp and his gaze snapped down, searching for blood. Zayne lightly pulled his coat aside to reveal… nothing. Asshole, there was nothing!
A hushed chuckle brushed against his ear and the cold touch of the knife fell away.
“But we don’t have to do all that, right?” Zayne retreated and weaved an arm through Jay’s again as the train started to slow down.
“No…”
“Then let’s go home.”

What is the difference between "Mikä?" and "Mitä?"
The first one is what duolingo told me is "what", and the second is what I've seen in Jere's songs
Ohhh lets go I love this (I'm gonna put it under the read more so it's easier for the tag lolol)
So they both mean what, but they are used to refer to either unknown amounts of things, or singular/countable things.
Mikä is used when asking about something you assume is countable and concrete, for example:
"Mikä tämä on?" - Se on lautanen
("What is this?" - It's a plate)
"Mikä tuo on?" - Se on lintu
("What is that?" - It's a bird)
Mikä can also be used to ask about feelings:
"Mikä sinua ärsyttää?" - No tämä sää
("What's annoying you? - This weather)
Meanwhile Mitä is used to ask about an unknown object or amount of things:
"Mitä ruokaa rakastat?" - Italialaista
("What food do you love? - Italian)
"Mitä kaikkea sinä harrastat? - Jalkapalloa ja lukemista
("What kind of hobbies do you have? - Football and reading)
I found some good examples to see the difference in the two:
Mitä sulla on? (What do you have, unknown object)
Mikä sulla on? (What do you have, as in "what's wrong with you?", feelings)
Mitä kello on? (What is the time, abstract unknown number)
Mikä kello on? (What is a clock, concrete object)
Essentially you use Mitä when you don't know the subject or number of the answer. You would use Mikä when asking about feelings or when you assume the subject is a countable thing.
It's a bit tricky and I hadn't even thought of this before you asked me about it, it's one of those things you just subconsciously know but can only hear when it's used wrong lol. I hope this helped atleast a little bit 😮💨 I feel like explaining your native language is so difficult, hats off to teachers who do it haha

been having thoughts so. college. interesting experience. you meet cool people, weird people, normal people, you take classes. sometimes they’re fun, sometimes you’re up at 11:45 crying bc ur goddamn code won’t work right and you don’t know how c# works you’re just a little guy and fuck unity anyways!
my point here. reverse isekai with college student!creator. you’re like “no i can’t go to teyvat from the game genshin impact i paid Five Thousand Dollars for my classes this semester and i’ll be damned if i don’t get my money’s worth” - teddy anon
oh thats hilarious actually
you who only got interesting in genshin because you needed a break from schoolwork, and never intended to get too invested into it. you can never play for very long, frequently having to log-off mid quest because shit, you'd forgotten about your calculus assignment, sorry jean!
your traveller can hear your distress, can tell that your world is getting too overwhelming for you... as time goes on, you save teyvat, but at what cost? your mental health? physical health? no no, the world you were in was flawed.. hopefully you wouldn't mind.
and when you first wake up in teyvat, you don't, not at first. you think its just a really, really weird dream, that your brain tapped out from trying to make sense of if-then-else statements. its a nice break! the people are a bit more reverent than you'd expect—seriously, you barely played twice a week, calm down—but overall, it's not bad!
when you next wake up, you do so with the brief panic of having not turned in your assignments last night. you pull away the blankets with intention, and take a solid step toward the door before registering that you're not in your room anymore. not a dream.
albedo is confused when you ask to go back—why? the traveller said you were stressed, you were overwhelmed, why would you want to go back?
"i went through too much stress to get into those courses and i refuse to let that go to waste."
"holy wind, you- if you wish to learn, i can ask master jean to contact the dendro archon-"
"albedo. my tuition."
