Unspoken Rivalry | Zayne/Reader + Implied!Caleb/Reader
Tumblr media
About: Ever since that incident, you rarely mentioned Caleb to anyone. So when you suddenly brought him up while in the fitting room with Zayne, his curiosity was piqued, albeit unwillingly.
Pairings: Zayne/Reader, Implied!Caleb/Reader
Notes: Sorry for repost and not smut haha. Decided to put all my L&DS writings here on this sideblog instead of my main blog because I didn't want to muddle things up. Anyway got this idea when Zayne was surprised at MC knowing how to tie a tie and I was like, HMMM maybe because she had practice with Caleb??? But nope the game went the other way.
AO3: Read here!
Warning: Implied love triangle.
Tumblr media
“I’m shocked. I didn’t expect you to be good at tying a tie.”
You inspected the black tie you had selected for Zayne for a moment, nodding in approval at your own tastes. 
“Why, of course.” You said with a smile, glancing at him before directing him to face the full length mirror before you two. “I had a lot of practice.”
“Practice?”
“Caleb.” Zayne raised his eyebrows at the sudden mention of that name; your mutual childhood friend who had sadly passed away months prior. You rarely mentioned him nowadays, so to hear his name slip past your lips without anything prompting was a surprise.
“I… I used to do his tie for him before we went to school.” You whispered, fond memories of you tying his school tie while you complained about him not doing it himself surfaced. It felt like it was just yesterday when you complained about his odd request of making you do this every school day morning, but now… 
“I’m sure he’s capable of doing it himself.” Zayne remarked, careful with his choice of words. He eyed you through the mirror, pointedly ignoring the sting of jealousy that made itself known when he saw you smiled wistfully.
You shook your head and looked ahead, eyes unseeing and absorbed in those innocent, carefree days where everything was still normal. “He said it’s for good luck.” You explained, missing the light bemused snort beside you. “He would whine about not having the goddess of luck’s blessing if I didn’t.” 
‘That could’ve been you in his place.’ A traitorous part of him mumbled, and Zayne promptly shoved that thought back to the corners of his mind. But it ceased to be silenced. ‘That should’ve been you. But you chose to distance yourself.’ 
‘It was for her sake.’ 
‘But was it worth it? Missing precious time with her? Being replaced by someone else?’ That voice hissed, reminding him of the reluctant distance he had placed between him and you. He told himself that it was necessary for him to focus on his studies if he wanted to take care of you in the future, and that indulging in your presence then would only hinder his carefully laid plans. ‘You were the perfect match for her and yet you–’ 
Opting not to let his darker, less desirable thoughts taunt him, Zayne focused on you instead, placing a hand behind the small of your back and brought you before the mirror. 
“Do you think we still match?” He asked, his hushed question barely over the calming instrumentals that the shop you were in chose to play. If it weren’t for him being right next to you, you would’ve missed his question entirely.
You scrutinized his outfit through the mirror, and smiled. “I think we do.” 
“Good.” Zayne let out a breath he unconsciously held back. He stared at his reflection once more, wondering. Would he have had the same treatment if he had stayed?
If Caleb was still the same boy he had met all those years ago, he would’ve hated you extending the same care towards Zayne himself. He remembered being at the receiving end of Caleb’s piercing gaze multiple times when they were still together, especially when you had looked to Zayne instead of him for certain matters.
‘The past matters naught. What’s important is now and the future.’ He thought as he turned his focus towards you, silencing the doubts of you favoring Caleb over him.
“Will you tie my tie for me on that day then?” He asked, the corners of his lip threatening to twitch upward when you stared at him, perplexed.
“Do you need the goddess of luck’s blessing as well?” You joked in response, only to sigh when you realized he was serious. “Don’t tease me, Zayne. Why would you need me to do it anyway?”
“For luck.”
“Why would you need luck of all things? It’s just a banquet!”
“You never know.” Zayne parroted the words you said this morning. You sighed, wondering if he lied about only studying and joined a debate club when he was still in school.
“Fine! I don’t understand why you and Caleb want me to tie it when you two could do it better than me.” A small smile appeared on his face as you grumbled, preparing to change out of the outfit he had picked out for you.
‘You will understand eventually.’ He thought as a staff member approached him with his card and receipt in hand, thanking him for his patronage. 
‘For what man wouldn’t want their goddess' attention?’

idk how u feel about eremin or ereminmika but I haven’t been able to get this out of my head 😩
I think during time skip the dynamics between them changed and mika somewhat became the center of their group, Eren and Armins relationship fraying while Mikasas remained strong with the both of them 🥺
Armin having somewhat of a resentment towards Mikasa too, in a I love you so much and you’re the best person in my life but you ruin me type of way. He doesn’t understand how she can still love Eren so freely while he suffers from the same love he shares for the other boy. Their sexual relationship starts on accident but keeps itself alive through Armin taking his frustration out on her despite it all and her taking it, just wanting to just feel him because he’s the only one out of her boys who’s even expressing things to her even if it is negative bc at least it’s not the indifference erens seems to have taken to them 😩
Armin and Eren get to fuck too 👉👈 I think Armin would bring up the fact that he has Mikasa, that Mikasa might love Eren but she loves Armin as well and that at the end of the day it’s him who gets to fuck her and Eren the selfish bastard he is hates that even if he too loves them both.
They’re both overly dominant imo 😭 they don’t contest to one another. Eren is just Eren and Armin refuses to back down bc wasn’t it Eren who was always telling him to fight back. Both trying to show that they’re better than the other while mourning the love they share at the same time. They look to hurt each other in this moment.
i absolutely adore ereminkasa or ereminmika or ema or whatever the fuck you wanna call it. they were my OG OT3 and I am committed to them for life. i wrote amoral virtue with this in mind in 2015, and I swear I was such a shy 20-year old, me rn would have totally made them fuck. i also wrote "thinking out loud" with the ambition of playing out this love triangle but I took it off ao3 bc I am probably never gonna finish it >.<
ANYWAY on to your godly headcanon, I love it!!!
i just love the idea of armin having been silently in love with mika his whole life, and when he still sees her pining after him when he's obviously out there being asshole#1, he just looses it. Mikasa would totally give into him tbh bc she does love him, he's armin, he's all things good and she trusts him more than anyone. so overtime all things he tells her actually starts to sink in... T_T
Imagine - threesome ema where armin and eren are so fucking competitive! fighting to see who can make her feel better. armin wins maybe, makes her orgasm so many times bc by now he's figured out the formula.
But eren's a biter, and the next day when eren's marks are still on Mikasa's neck you bet he's not gonna let armin live it down.

The best poly ships are when you smoosh two or three great ships together, also see Norman/Emma/Ray.
YESSS!!!
Like so many of my fave poly ships started out as two or three other good ships that I just smashed together and became so much better as a result!! Like Emi/Mob/Teru, Della/Launchpad/Penumbra, Dave/Jade/Karkat, Finn/Poe/Rey, Pidge/Lance/Keith, Glimmer/Adora/Bow, Bakugo/Uraraka/Izuku like GOD. 
Maybe it’s because I am a multishipper at heart but every time I see ship wars I am just like…guys….poly ships….they rule…smoosh them together….they have two hands. I also think it’s just something I have been into since I was a kid since I ALWAYS thought that at the end of The Road To El Dorado Tulio, Miguel, and Chel were dating?? And when I found out that wasn’t how it ended as an adult I was like????? What????? Did I hallucinate that????? But anyway I’m in full on denial about that they are all dating and it’s wonderful.
Like the only times I don’t like poly ships is when I hate one of the characters. Like in The Hunger Games the love triangle wasn’t the point and it was all a metaphor for choosing between war and peace but like god everyone was saying Katniss should date both but I HATED Gale from the beginning so I was like nooooo no no no Peeta for life. But that’s pretty rare, most of the time I am SO down with poly ships.
And poly ships end up giving you such wonderful and unique ideas and dynamics?? Like it’s so sweet and wonderful and interesting and AHHH. (And tbh I have been looking inside myself and I’m kinda starting to think that I might be poly? Like not enough that I want to add anyone to my current relationship, I think since I’m bi it’s kinda like that, I don’t need to be in a polycule but the option is there. But that’s a whole other can of worms.)
ALSO EMMA/NORMAN/RAY IS BLESSED!!!! As soon as I saw them I was like poly ship, right there, that’s a good one, fuck yeah. I am hoping that in the comic they can all make up and end up dating cuz rn I am worried about Norman big time.
Poly ships rule!! POLY PEOPLE RULE!! More people should have OT3s!! Every time I get into one there is like no content for it and that is a TRAVESTY!! Welcome the wonders of poly ships into your hearts my friends your life will be richer for it!!!!

hello my name is *yells about Furuba*
I dunno what I’m doing but I have Feelings so let me rant about them, by me.
Some of y'all may not know that Fruits Basket is my favorite series on the planet– well you do now. That comes with a caveat of favorite manga, not favorite anime (that honor goes to either Noragami or Chihayafuru, with Madoka Magica as an honorable mention). I do also love the anime dearly! But comparing them is like apples and oranges, horses of different colors, etc etc, not least because the anime was made before the manga was barely halfway through. futile hope springs eternal for a full remake. So most of my feels rant will be manga-centric although the general feels apply to the anime, and uh there may be spoilers idk it’s been out for a long time???
The first volume came out in the US five days after my *deep breath* 15th birthday. I got it for the next year’s bday present from my big sis, aaaand that was when the gates of otaku/manga hell swallowed me up (I was somehow unaware that Pokemon and Yu-Gi-Oh were also Japanese pop culture, go figure.) I have no memory of how I found the anime– my anime-bittorrent-whateverthefuck knowledge was nonexistent but I don’t think it was airing live. I got the box set for some Christmas but that would’ve been after I was a massive fan so *shrug*
Anyway I watched the dub first and holy hell if I wasn’t planning to marry Yuki Sohma before then I definitely was after that, thanks Eric Vale. (I still have huge love for the dub cast fight me). Yun-chan was my first 2D crush and tbqh I’m still in love with him. Also I stg he’s the whole reason why pretty boys are a Big Thing of mine. And wait omg Shigure’s first appearance?! Like, that’s probably why dudes with glasses are also My Thing wow I just blew my own mind but moving on
Fun fact I couldn’t choose between Kyoru or Yukiru bc they were both cute (present me@young me: u will realize eventually grasshopper) but I was 100% cool with Kyoru happening because of course then I could be with Yuki. Cue me dabbling in a few paragraphs of self-insert fic.
uh lemme cut this it’s becoming a novel
Random things (this whole thing is random wtf):
I was blessed enough to get my hands on the entire Tokyopop run, plus the fanbooks!!! before they shut down. I’ve been warring with myself for ages over whether to start collecting the Yen Press specials but. my resolve is weakening. I also have all of Takaya-sensei’s other stuff yeet (Phantom Dreams, Those with Wings, Songs to Make You Smile) except for Twinkle Stars which I’m def gonna get and OBVIOUSLY THE INSTANT FURUBA ANOTHER COMES OUT IM GRAB meanwhile if I remember to check out the scans
been a while since I reread it(it’ll be my third one~) but off the top of my head some favorite arcs etc are: obviously the major one at the end of vol 6. The Red Cap. Hatori and Kana (RIP ME) The Summerhouse (Jason the bear jfc). Akito’s reveal. Kyoko and Katsuya’s entire thing obviously (EXTRA RIP ME I’m crying just thinking about it). “The plum on your back” scenes. Kyo and Kyoko. THAT FIRST NEW YEAR’S WHEN YUKI AND KYO RACE BACK TO THE MAIN HOUSE BECAUSEtheir girlfriend MY DAUGHTER IS SAD AND LONELY AND THEY MAKE WISHES ON THE ROOF heck me upppp– also literally all roof scenes (karate kid Tohrutm) BUT THAT ONE HHGBNCCSV!!! Also my fav episode along with the AU-ish final 2.
Furuba fandom is my biggest fleet of ships by far which is hilarious bc I have a lot of fandoms and a lot of ships and you can see them bc i’m a derp but since nobody looks at that and nobody will read this (?) I’ma talk about them here. I DO WANT I WANT YO
but seriously I support
literally all the canon ships except HanaxShishou, pardon me Takaya-sensei but why. Wtaf.
a metric fuckton of non-canon ships bc of COURSE I DO
my low-key ships include
MomijixKagura. pairing the spares if you will XD
KaguraxTohru
RinxTohru. yes I have bi Tohru headcanons mmkay
Future!Kisa/Tohru (blame this fic)
KyoxUo.
YukixHana. all symmetrical-like (but wow i forgot i highkey shipped it for a while until…)
GurexAaya. like, come on. Also poly Mabudachi Trio
MomijixTohru. they’re super hecking cute ok, edging into high-key
my high-key ships include
HanaxUo. ok this??? is a big OTP, and 99% why I’m hella salty over HanaxShishou (at least KurenoxUo had an actual subplot!!). They are Tohru’s adoptive moms and I will forever protec (and yet. HanaxTohru and girls OT3 are also Good Ships but tbh super low-key) also I MADE SOMEONE SHIP IT
YukixTohru. see the start of this post way up there somewhere
KyoxYuki. my first rivalshiptm
HaruxYuki. “He was my first love” one cannot simply– have a character say this and not expect fans to ship. Also bi Haru is canon. lotta bi folks up in here imo
KakeruxYuki. CUTE GODDAMN DORKS WOW
But my flagship, my OTP to end all OTPs and my polyship to end all polyships in any fandom is the SS Yukyoru. KyoxTohruxYuki.
I’ve had polyship predilections for 6-7 years now, though it’s more recent I’ve started polyshipping every love triangle i encounter bc I‘m so done with them… there wasn’t really any lightning-bolt moment when I realized I shipped them much more together rather than apart. but like, I ship all three permutations so at some point my brain went HERE’S AN IDEA which tbh is how a lot of my polyships happen, i mainly have OT3s (if I ship 2 outta 3 there’s a good chance ima poly it)
but anyway! there’s absolutely no way to convey how much I adore this ship and IT’S A HUGE EMPTY YACHT I NEED CREW MEMBERS PLZ
I am building it up one fic at a time and if you’ve made it this far and have any interest at all plz read my shit and general Furuba screaming is appreciated as well of course!!! (also look at the most beautiful piece of fanart ever)
More fic! have my mixed bag of bookmarks (Sure For The Axis is my absolute fav, 2nd is Little Prayer) u can also find my Yukyoru stuff on AO3 ehehe~ and oh look HanaxUo!
and holy whoa i’m done. TLDR FURUBA IS THE BEST MANGA EVER AND YUKYORU IS THE PUREST RARESHIP EVER
THANK YOU AND GOOD NIGHT

do you have any ot3s?
sureeeeee. some big ones for me are
smoaking flarrow (oliver/felicity/barry) - their dynamic on the show is great and I think ollie and barry are total boyfriends lbr.
westallenqueen (iris/barry/oliver) - I wish they had more interaction on screen because there is so much great potential there for healthy polyamory between the three of them.
smoaking canarrow (oliver/felicity/sara) - I ship every variation of this tbh and lbr this was pretty much canon in s2 of arrow, back when the show didn’t suck nearly as much as it does now.
merlancequeen (oliver/laurel/tommy) - because let’s face it, all unnecessary love triangles are better as polyamorous relationships. all of them.
killervibestorm (caitlin/cisco/ronnie) - because cisco and ronnie were total boyfriends lbr, and cisco just loves caitlin so much and caitlin loves ronnie but she also loves cisco and just - yes. it would work. so well.
smoaking assassins (felicity/sara/nyssa) - I can’t remember who wrote it but there was a brilliant fic featuring smoaking assassins post s2 of arrow and it was just great.
smoaking black assassin (felicity/laurel/nyssa) - because tbh I am down with shipping nyssa with two women who have been hard done by with men their whole lives and need a woman like nyssa to show them a good time.
westhallen (iris/barry/eddie) - because again. unnecessary love triangles are always better off as polyamorous relationships, especially when barry and eddie are total boyfriends.
that’s all I’ve got! I’ve always wanted to write fic for these, all of them, but I just haven’t worked up the courage to do so yet. :)
