if you're doing the soft prompts thing, could i request " i knew you wouldn't go to sleep willingly, so i brought you some chamomile tea and a blanket. twenty minutes of shut-eye, okay? " + buddie? preferably post shooting but whatever you like, thank you ❤
At long last! I am finally filling this prompt! It didn't turn out to be a recovery fic, but it's definitely impacted by the events of 4x14, so I really hope you like it! It's very soft.
Buck is being ridiculous. Absolutely irrational. He’s well aware of this fact. And yet, he finds his thumb hovering over the call button.
It’s not like it’s Christopher’s first sleepover. He’s eleven years old, of course it’s not. It’s not his first sleepover since the pandemic, either, or since Eddie was shot. He’s had quite a few since then, actually. It’s not even his first sleepover since he and Eddie went from work partners to life partners.
But it is Christopher’s first sleepover since Buck moved in with them. The first time he spent his evening cooking dinner for only two. The first time he didn’t have to help with homework or watch a movie that Christopher picked out. The first time in a month that Buck has had to go to sleep without kissing his head goodnight.
And sure, there were good parts. There are certain benefits to being alone with his boyfriend and not having to worry about being unknowingly interrupted by an eleven year old. But it’s nearly midnight now and all that’s left to do is sleep--or at least, pretend to sleep while actually staring at the ceiling and wait for a panicked middle of the night call because something went wrong.
He’s sitting up in the bed he and Eddie now share, phone in hand, willing himself not to call Christopher and check in. He knows Christopher is a pre-teen now, that he’s probably having a great time, that his calling would just be embarrassing, and probably (hopefully) wake him up. He sighs, tossing his phone down on the empty pillow beside him. It’s going to be a long night.
Eddie is supposed to be in bed with him, and he’s sure being alone is making it worse. He’s not even sure where Eddie is--he said he would follow Buck to bed after getting some water and brushing his teeth--but it’s been a little too long for just teeth brushing, so Buck has a feeling his boyfriend is up to something. His suspicions are confirmed a moment later when he hears the tea kettle whistling. Odd, considering the tea kettle is Buck’s, something he brought with him when he moved in--Eddie isn’t a big tea drinker, usually only drinking it when he’s sick, preferring to caffeinate with coffee.
Buck only has to wonder what Eddie is doing for a few moments before Eddie shuffles into their bedroom, a blanket Buck recognizes from Christopher’s bed piled under one arm and a steaming mug in the other hand.
“Whatcha got there?” Buck asks, glad for a distraction at least.
“Well,” Eddie sets the mug down on Buck’s bedside table. “I knew you wouldn’t go to sleep willingly, so I brought you some chamomile tea and a blanket.” He tosses the blanket at Buck’s face. It smells like Christopher’s no-tears kid shampoo, and Buck inhales deeply. “Twenty-minutes of shut-eye, okay?”
Buck spreads the twin sized blanket out over his side of the bed. “You made me tea?”
Eddie rolls his eyes. “Are you or are you not going over every possible worst case scenario in your head right now?”
“Uh.” Buck swallows, sheepish. “Maybe?”
“Exactly.” Eddie crawls into bed next to Buck, picks up Buck’s phone from his pillow, stretches to place it next to the mug, and finally wraps an arm around him. “I just want to help you relax.”
“Even though I’m being totally irrational?” Buck asks, leaning into Eddie’s embrace.
“Yup.” Eddie drops a kiss onto the top of Buck’s head. “I remember Christopher’s first sleepover. I sent that mom so many emails. And then I didn’t sleep at all, I was just waiting for something to go wrong.”
“But he was younger then, and this isn’t his first--”
“It’s your first, though.” Eddie cuts him off. “I know you’ve loved him for a long time, but this is the first night since you moved in that he hasn’t been here.”
Buck sips his tea and grips the blanket a little tighter. “I miss him.”
Eddie chuckles, low and warm. “I know.”
“Do you ever...get used to this feeling?” Buck asks carefully.
“If you mean, will you ever stop worrying about him when you’re not around to protect him, the answer is no,” Eddie shakes his head. “That’s what being a parent is.”
“I’m not a--”
“Evan, you better not have been about to say you’re not a parent,” Eddie says, voice so firm and serious that Buck has no choice but to listen. “You’ve loved Christopher like he was your own since before we were even dating. You take care of him, you worry about him, you always help him when he needs it.”
Buck’s heart feels like it’s about to burst out of his chest. “Of course--of course I love him so much, but you’re his dad. But it’s not like I’m--maybe if we were--but I’m just your boyfriend.”
“Maybe if we were what?” Eddie narrows his eyes. “If we were married?”
Buck’s throat is dry. Sometimes he really hates how easily Eddie can read him. “Uh.”
“Because we could do that,” Eddie continues. “If that’s something you want.”
And now Buck’s brain is short-circuiting. “Is it something you want?”
Eddie bites his lip. “I didn’t think it was, not after Shannon. But…” He sighs. “I told Chimney once that tomorrow isn’t promised to anyone, and I know that you’re it for me, and it’s not like Shannon and I had much of a wedding anyway, so it might be nice to, I don’t know, do it right? If it’s what you want.”
“I do,” Buck answers hastily. “Want that. I already know we’re forever, but I think it would...help. With some of my doubts. If we made it official.”
Eddie beams. “Then I guess we’re getting married.”
Buck can’t quite remember how to breathe. There are so many words he wants to say, but none of them seem right, so he just pulls Eddie into a soft kiss, which Eddie reciprocates eagerly. “I love you so much,” he murmurs when he pulls back. “Of course I want to marry you.”
“I love you so much, too.” Eddie presses a kiss to his temple, and then one to his jaw, and a few to his neck.
They fall into a comfortable silence for a few moments, the only sounds in the room the sounds of soft breaths and Buck sipping on his tea.
“Are you feeling better?” Eddie asks, breaking the silence.
Buck considers this for a moment. There’s still worry gnawing at him, but he feels less silly about it now. And most of him is simply overwhelmed with happiness. “Yeah, yeah I am.”
“Good.” Eddie gives a brisk nod. “Now shut up, drink your leaf water, and go to sleep.”
“Actually, chamomile tea is made with the blossoms of the--”
“Buck.”

the joyful anticipation that comes from imagining future pleasures
♡ pairing: m. atsumu x gn!reader
♡ genre: fluff
♡ warning: none (maybe grammar? idk i wrote this in one sitting bc i had inspo)
♡ w/c: ~700
a/n: this was for @omigogames​​ 1.5k celebration! i absolutely loved getting to write this. it has helped me lowkey get out of a writing block and just… very self indulgent because i suffer from head empty, only atsumu. plus it has been VERY cold here lately so i kinda put that into this lil fic. i hope you all enjoy! once again- congrats jane on 1.5k!! <3 im very proud of you and all you do
Tumblr media
It was a chilly day, one where the wind bit through whatever you were wearing, no matter how many layers you had worn. The wind did not let up as you stepped outside of Onigiri Miya after having lunch with your boyfriend and his brother. You could have swore Atsumu was right behind you, but the minute you stepped outside, he was not near your side. 
Glancing back through the glass of the window, you see him at the front counter, leaning over to talk to his twin. With a smile, you turned back to the street, shoving both of your hands in your coat pockets, ducking further into your scarf to keep warm. With eyes closed, you let out a huff of hot air, only to hear the familiar jingle of the door opening; this prompted you to open your eyes and meet the gaze of the one and only Atsumu.
The smile on his face was bright as he bent down to press a kiss to your forehead. You smiled from beneath your scarf, giving a small giggle as you reached a hand out for his. He took it happily, lacing his fingers with yours before pulling them both into his coat pocket for extra warmth. 
“You ready to go home?” He bumped shoulders with you, causing you to giggle as you gave his hand a squeeze. Nodding, you walked in step with him as you walked with shoulders pressed together, fighting against the cold wind. 
While your mind drifted off to curling up on the couch with a warm cup of tea, snuggled up to Atsumu with a blanket around the both of your shoulders, his drifted off to the velvet box in the coat pocket that was unoccupied by your hands. 
That’s what had held him up with his brother- showing him the ring that he had intended to surprise you with soon. While it was not anything elaborate, it meant more than anything he could say. The years you two had spent together meant everything to him (along with volleyball). You supported him through all of his volleyball endeavors while he cheered you on through the rest of your college career. 
The time had been tough for the both of you: long nights, early mornings, the only time spent together was sleeping. It never seemed to end, but it did and you both grew individually and as a couple. Going through that and seeing each other at your lowest and highest points, both supporting each other, was honestly one of the best things to happen for the two of you. 
Atsumu had spent months debating if he was overthinking everything, but Osamu talked him out of his spiral, assuring him he was making the right decisions and he would know when. So, when he made the purchase of the ring, he hid it at Osamu’s, knowing he would easily let the news spill the minute he came home trying to hide it.
However, he wanted it with him now. He didn’t have any elaborate plan to propose; he knew you would much rather have something spontaneous and personal than planned out and grandiose. For all he knew, he could propose tonight in your living room or tomorrow morning as the soft light of the rising sun filtered in, only your whispers shared in the soft space between you two. 
Still, he would know when. All he had to do was trust his gut and look forward to the future that he had built with you in mind. While it made him anxious, it also excited him. There was so much uncharted territory that came with this next step, but he was ready. 
Little did he know you were too.
You would still never come to know of this secret until he inevitably got on one knee. Until then, the two of you would continue to find home in each other’s eyes, peace in smiles, and comfort in arms.

hello hello so vivi [@astrofireworks] came to me a few weeks ago with a prompt/fic idea she had nd i really liked it so here it is in bullet fic form vivi i hope i did your idea justice: 
okay so basically jinjin and mj have been dating since their first year of university
they met when jinjin accidentally walked into a first year chemistry class when he was trying to find his philosophy class
and when he realized he was in the wrong class he was too awkward to leave so he stayed and missed his very first university class ever
cue stressed jinjin basically just sitting there the entire hour long introduction, not listening at all 
and at the end of lecture mj tries to take the advice their professor just gave, and he talks to the kid next to him and asks for his contact info in case either of them ever miss lecture for whatever reason then they can trade notes
jinjin: “i’m uhh... i’m not in this class.... haha”
mj: “.......????”
jinjin: “i actually walked into the wrong classroom and i felt weird leaving, haha” he’s trying so hard to laugh it off but he’s internally dying a bit [a lot]
and mj is like “:oo dude that sucks but i get it, i probably would’ve been too awkward to leave too.” 
and after that they part ways and jinjin gets totally roasted by his roommate eunwoo bc he’s a whole idiot and he can’t believe he did that
but after that mj and jinjin keep running into each other everywhere
jinjin goes to the library to study? mj is a table over also studying
jinjin and eunwoo go to a party? mj is at that party
jinjin and eunwoo go to eat? mj is also there, sitting just down the table from them, eating with a couple of his friends as well
so eventually they just start talking nd cracking jokes bc they ALWAYS see each other and they’re like “haha the universe is trying to put us together”
and after some time, jinjin finds himself crushing on this super cute and sweet and funny dude he accidentally sat beside in the wrong lecture and so he asks him out
and he’s kinda expecting mj to say no bc he’s been on a few dates here and there with this guy in his chemistry class named moon bin
but mj’s like “finally you idiot i’ve been waiting for you to ask me out for forever”
and jinjin’s like “why didn’t you just ask me then????”
and mj’s like “.......... i don’t actually know??” and they’re both shook bc what an idiot but it’s okay bc one of them asked the other now
and they go on a date to a bowling alley and have a ton of fun and mj pouts when he loses but jinjin just smiles at him really big and kisses him on the cheek so it’s all good
and after that they’re pretty much inseparable and they start officially dating a little while later and they’ve been together ever since then
so skip a few years later and mj’s pursuing his Ph.D. and as part of his program he has the opportunity to do a co-op abroad
and obviously he takes it bc why wouldn’t he but it leaves poor jinjin on his own for six months while he’s gone
and obviously he’s super proud of mj bc it’s really awesome but also he’s sad bc the love of his life is gonna be away from him for six months
and he can’t tell mj anything but jinjin’s secretly been planning on proposing to him on their sixth anniversary for almost a year but now mj’ll be away for it
and he’s got a ring picked out and everything and he’s got it hidden in the pocket of this old backpack he has from when he was in university that’s sitting in a closet in their apartment
so mj packs all his stuff up and he needs a carry-on and so he takes the backpack and packs all his carry-on stuff in it and somehow jinjin doesn’t realize that this is the bag until after he’s dropped mj off for his flight and they’ve said their goodbye’s and he’s on his way home
and when he realizes he’s like “shit what have i done” and he’s freaking out and he doesn’t even go back to his apartment but rather to eunwoo’s and he’s losing his mind bc mj’s gonna find the fucking ring shit [and that’s if he hasn’t found it already]
and eunwoo just kinda looks at him like “you’ve always been an idiot when it comes to mj haven’t you?”
and jinjin’s like “this isn’t the time, idiot, what do i do?”
and eunwoo’s like “uhh how the heck should i know??”
and so amidst his freaking out they come up with a plan that they think actually isn’t that bad [it is] and basically jinjin’s gonna casually tell mj not to look in that specific pouch bc eunwoo’s hiding something in there that he doesn’t want ppl to see and then move on with it
so when mj calls him from toronto, where he’s doing his co-op, that night he’s like “!!! jinjin hi i made it safely”
jinjin: “i know, you texted me when you landed and when you got to your hotel”
mj: “i know but idk i wanted you to hear me say it not text it”
jinjin: “you’re so cute i love you”
and mj’s like “stop” and he’s blushing even though they’ve been together 5ever and also jinjin can’t even SEE him
jinjin, lowkey smug: “are you blushing rn??”
mj: “shut up park jinwoo >:/“
and jinjin calls him cute again before they get to talking about their days and what happened after jinjin dropped mj off and then he’s just randomly like
“oh btw eunwoo says he’s got something secret stashed in the left pocket of my backpack but he really doesn’t want us to check it so can you like..... not open that??”
and that’s literally the most sus thing mj has ever heard like first of all why would eunwoo randomly have something hidden in there that they don’t know about
second of all how does he even know mj took the backpack
so he’s like “wtf what’s in the backpack” and he goes into that pouch of the backpack while jinjin shouts in his ear to stop bc eunwoo rlly doesn’t want them to look
and he finds the ring and he tears up and nearly starts crying bc “holy shit jinjin’s gonna fucking propose to me”
and he loves jinjin so much and is literally thrilled by the idea of being married to him so he’s actually really really happy
but he doesn’t want jinjin to know he’s found it bc obviously he’s not supposed to know so he’s like “????? it’s nothing but an empty pouch in your shitty old backpack???”
and jinjin’s like “....... OH ofc he must’ve been talking about a different bag haha”
and part of him is RELIEVED bc mj doesn’t know but the other half is like “holy fuck the ring is supposed to be in there i lost a $4000 ring what the fuck”
so time passes and mj doesn’t tell jinjin he knows but while he’s away he wears the engagement ring 25/8 bc it’s so beautiful and he loves it and loves jinjin and wants ppl to know that he’s engaged [even if he technically hasn’t said yes yet]
and when he finally gets to go back home he just kinda forgets that he’s supposed to put the ring back bc he’s so used to wearing it and he keeps it on during the flight home
and he gets home and sees jinjin waiting for him once he gets to the baggage claim and he’s like “!!!!!!! jinjin” and he’s so so happy bc the love of his life is right there after six months
jinjin: “!!! baby !! i love you i missed you !!”
mj: “i missed you too!!”
and jinjin goes to take his hand to lead them to the belt where his luggage will come off and it’s then that he noticed mj is wearing a ring and he’s like “???? mj doesn’t have a ring”
so he looks a little closer and chokes bc that’s not just a ring that’s the ring
jinjin: “mj wtf you found the ring?!”
mj: “........ fuck i forgot to take it off i wanted to surprise you before i said yes :(“
jinjin, v shook: “b-before you said yes??”
nd mj’s just smiling so big and he throws his arms around jinjin’s neck again and he’s like “jinjin i love you to the moon and back obviously i’m gonna marry you”
and jinjin is kinda sad that the proposal didn’t go how he wanted but he’s also so so happy rn bc he loves mj and that makes him not rlly care about the proposal so he just hugs him really really tightly and tells mj how much he loves him and how much he means to him
but park jinwoo is also a huge sap so he still gets on one knee in the middle of the literal airport and asks mj to marry him and mj is so flustered bc a ton of people are watching
so he shyly says yes again and hugs jinjin so so tight and they kiss nd people are clapping bc this is a literal airport and it’s highkey awkward and mj just starts killing himself laughing at the whole situation
mj: “you’re actually a whole idiot i wouldn’t have checked the pouch at all if you hadn’t said anything”
jinjin: “yeah but i’ve always been kinda dumb whenever you’re involved, you make me unable to think clearly; in a good way though”
nd mj just scrunches his nose at him with a smile and tells him he’s a sap before kissing him once more
they collect mj’s luggage hand in hand and a few months later they get married and jinjin tells the story in his speech at the reception and it makes everyone laugh
and yeah it was kinda dumb but mj honestly couldn’t be happier with the way things turned out
