haikyuu!! headcanons
how they would react to their s/o being scared of them during a fight
ushijima, bokuto, kuroo, iwaizumi
**************************************************
warnings: mild swearing, mention of a violent ex-relationship
pairings: ushijima x fem!reader, bokuto x reader, kuroo x reader, iwaizumi x reader
**************************************************
ushijima
you know him and his emotionless statements
mostly you can cope with his blunt comments and you know he has no ill intentions but sometimes they hit parts which shouldn’t be hit under any circumstances
you guys still fight very rarely but when you do... your poor neighbors
mostly you punish him by ignoring him. mostly he doesn’t notice until he talks to you directly and you just turn around and go away. then he goes to one of his teammates for help.
‘what did you talk about last time?’
‘well, they complained about how they didn’t like how their pants fit, so i told them they just should lose some weight.’
‘oh, wakatoshi-kun..’
but this time it wasn’t something minor like some pants
i honestly don’t know what he could have said to you but it made you furious. you guys were in your apartment. 
you had discussed with him for at least 30 minutes now, stating your opinion but all you got from him were stares and nothing else
little did you know that he was getting fed up more and more on the inside as you repeated the same arguments over and over again trying to get a reaction from him.
and you got it
his eyebrows started twitching and he was getting ready to state his arguments
lets be real. everybody who says that they would not be afraid if this guy was looking down on you and yelling with this cold voice of his, is lying
so tragedy takes its turn
he had reached his limit.
‘why can’t you just stop talking. listen when i am trying to speak.’ he said with his steady voice but way way WAY louder than usually. he was towering over, looking down on you. it was a scary sight really.
and he started gesticulating, throwing his hands in the air as he talked
from your point of view it probably looked like he was raising his hand at you and all the bad memories came rushing thru your head.
you instantly backed away, hitting the wall with your back and sliding down on the floor as you started to hug your knees.
ushijima stood there confused while you teared up in front of him.
what made him realize his mistake was when you begun to sob
‘p-please don’t hit-t me...please.’ it came more like whisper from you
you had told him of your abusive ex before and he internally punched himself for forgetting it and leashing out at you like this
he calmed down instantly, disgusted at himself as he was the reason for the sight in front of him.
without further words exchanged he sat next to you on the ground, pulling you in his embrace and let you cry on his shoulder.
after no tears came flowing anymore you apologized.
‘i am so sorr-’ but he didn’t let you finish
‘you shouldn’t apologize. i am the one who made you cry and i sincerely apologize for that.’ and you just nodded hugging him tighter than you already had.
the two of you sat there for minutes without talking
‘i do not plan on ever hurting you y/n, so please don’t be afraid of me.’
bokuto
holy this guy can get angry
you fought regularly but neither of you could stay mad at the other for long. as much as you tried but the look in his eyes got you every time and after more serious fights he did things like sliding a note under the door with 100 reasons why he loved you or 100 reasons why he was a total jerk and you couldn’t help but run into his arm after reading it.
but this fight was different.
after his last match some girls from his school came running onto the court to congratulate the team. and this one girl kissed him in front of the whole school.
and he didn’t do anything.
he slightly pushed her away but didn’t say anything oblivious as ever
‘bokuto-san this girl tried to get with you.’ akaashi sided with you
‘HUH? I THOUGHT THIS WAS LIKE A KISS IN A FRIENDLY WAY. ISN’T THIS COMMON IN EUROPE?’
‘we are not in europe, bokuto-san.’
but you were already gone. as soon the scene took place you leaped up, leaving the stadium.
bokuto looked for you like a lost puppy
when he arrived home you sat at the kitchen table crying
after trying to explain himself you couldn’t take his obliviousness anymore and leashed you at him accusing him of not loving you.
that’s when bokuto snapped
how could you think he didn’t love you?
he probably didn’t mean to yell at you like this, but we all know that he isn’t always in control of his emotions. he didn’t even notice how you had started to back away from him and crying
he stepped closer to you and you covered your tear stained face with your arms in defense
‘please don’t...’ you cried out
that’s when he remembers the things you told him about you ex
he felt so bad, not only getting kisses by somebody for you to see but also scaring you to the point of you crying. he felt like the worst boyfriend on earth.
he scoops you in his arms, apologizing over and over again, kissing the top of your head while holding you tight
i could imagine him shedding some tears too
‘i love you so much. i won’t ever make you cry again, i promise.’
kuroo
well this guy has a way with his words am i right?
he teases you till the point you can’t take it anymore
he is a total tease. he loves to test out his boundaries without realizing how hurtful this can be sometimes
and he just wouldn’t stop even if you told him to
‘aw, does chibi-chan feel uncomfortable, hmmm?’
‘please stop tetsurou.’
‘hm? what was that? can’t hear ya from up here.’
this guy seriously doesn’t know when to stop
one day he was going for it again. the two of you were in the kitchen and had one of those chats where you were teasing each other. until you became quiet.
‘hm? what’s the matter, chibi-chan?’ but you didn’t answer
he stepped closer and closer to you and everything was fine until you found yourself being trapped as your back hit the wall. that made panic grow inside of you.
it wasn’t like you didn’t trust kuroo but the memories of your past came back as you found yourself in a scenario you had been countless times with your abusive ex
and kuroo still stepped closer, you heard him talking but didn’t understand the words he were saying
he was now towering over you with a cocky smirk on his lips as he completely misread the situation.
he then raised his hand slowly to place it at the back of his neck but when you saw this you flinched heavily, you closed your eyes and raised your hands in defense
silent tears fell down your cheeks making kuroo’s attitude perish. he stepped out of his act, worry growing inside him not knowing what was going on as you had never told him about this part of your past.
he tried to grab your arm which made you flinch again, sobs now leaving your mouth
‘please stop. i-i’m sor...ry. i-i didn’t mean to.’ you frantically started apologizing out of reflex.
kuroo’s eyes grew wide as he let your words sink in. did you really believe he would hurt you? 
he stepped back a few feet giving you room to breathe. you slid down to the ground and started hyperventilating.
his heart felt heavy
he sat next to you, still with some space between the two of you because he didn’t want to overwhelm you but wanted you to know that he was there for you.
your breathing became more steady. still with tears running down your face you looked kuroo in the eyes for the first time and it broke his heart. your eyes were red, you nose runny and your face wet from the tears. and he couldn’t hold himself any longer.
he pulled you onto his lap, one hand on your head, one hand around your waist as you quietly sobbed into his chest.
when you finally calmed down you told him about your ex and ngl kuroo wanted to leap up and pay the asshole who did this to his love a visit. 
but then he felt even worse. it might be true that your ex was the one who did this but kuroo was the one at fault now. he was the one who triggered your memories and he was the one who made you cry.
i can see him shedding some tears as he embraced you
he would be more careful around you now, instantly stopping all his teasing when you told him to in all seriousness
‘if i ever go too far again, please tell me or punch me or i don’t know. if i ever make you cry again i feel like i have failed. i want to protect you from now on.’
iwaizumi
you two are masters of the fight
you both are quiet quiet while fighting. it takes much for iwaizumi to lose his cool. most of the time you just rationally argue with both of you accepting their own faults and apologizing.
but even you have your downs
this fight was different from any other you ever had.
you frequently had sleepovers with oikawa together and he is a little shit but we still love him
just to tease iwa he flirted with you from time to time and mostly it did not bother you much as you didn’t pay it much attention
it still bothered iwa but mostly resulted in iwa throwing something at oikawa
this evening it went way too far
oikawa was on it again. you and him sat on the sofa, oikawa constantly throwing pick up lines at you while you looked at your phone and iwa was in the kitchen getting popcorn for the movie you guys were about to watch
let’s say you totally ignored oikawa you nodding every three seconds.
‘hey, y/n! let’s take a selfie together.’ in that moment iwa came back.
you two leaned in for the photo and shortly before oikawa took it, he leaned in and kissed you.
like on the lips
you shoved him away instantly and covered your mouth with your hand
iwa took him by the collar and kicked him out of the apartment.
you were in shock and went to the kitchen to get something to drink. iwa came after you as you looked at him with wide eyes.
did he look angry? with you?
‘iwa wha-’
‘what the hell was this about?’
‘huh? what do you mean??? he kissed me! not the other way around!’
‘BUT IT IS YOUR FAULT! HE FLIRTS WITH YOU ALL DAY LONG AND YOU JUST SIT THERE AND DON’T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT-’
as soon as he had started yelling you panicked. he had never lashed out at you like this before and it seriously scared you.
subconsciously you backed away with every word he threw at you until your back hit the wall. you were trapped.
you clearly started shivering but iwa was so furious that he didn’t notice the state you were in.
you raised your hands to cover yourself as he stepped closer, still yelling. he grabbed one of your arms and ripped it from your face to make you look at him and you yelped.
apparently this was when he looked at you too.
your knees and arms were shaking as you tried to press your body as close into the corner of the room as possible, tears were running down your face and you began to sob
‘i-i’m sorry. don’t hit me, please.’ he instantly let go of your arm
boy was so confused until he remembered the time you told him about this abusive ex-partner of yours during one of your late night talks. in that night he had sworn to protect you.
it broke his heart when he realized he was the one to scare you like this
he grabbed your arm again but more gentle and pulled you into a tight hug. one of his arms around your waist and the other at the back of your neck as you cried into his chest. he rested his chin on the top of your head and apologized over and over again until your sobs had died out.
he still continued to hold you close until you pulled away and looked him in the eyes. he then kissed your tears away and rested your foreheads together after.
‘i’m sorry i lost my temper. you were not at fault here.’ and you kissed him passionately.
‘you know you are the only one for me, right?’ and he smiled the most heart melting smile you have ever seen.

That Smile; Luke Hemmings, Pt. 4
description: in which songwriting is over, but there’s still lyrics left to be written.
a/n: FINISHED SERIES
Tumblr media
You glared at the wall across from you, fist clenched in your lap, teeth grinding together. The bass bounced from wall to wall in the studio, in tune with your fast-beating heart. You resisted the urge to scream, to curse the world, to quit your job and move to western France with all ties cut to anyone you ever knew.
Especially him. His stupid face was grinning at the carpet, skinny jeaned legs crossed over one another boot clad foot bouncing in the air. His hair was ruffled, messy from running his hands through it time and again, pushed behind his ears by a pen on his left side. Those stupidly gorgeous blue eyes were trained on the floor, too, almost nervous to meet anyone’s eyes.
They wrote a song without you- well, Luke wrote it, he even composed all of the instruments. Then, while you were working with another client for a grudging week, they recorded it. Now, they were playing it for you with proud shoulders, like, “Look! We can do it without you!”
This was your last week together. After a little over six months of bonding, partying, drinking, falling, and, yes, songwriting, it was coming to an end. You had never grown so close to a set of clients before, and you were terrified at how much it was going to hurt, saying goodbye. You hadn’t spoken to Luke since the week prior to your absence. You texted in the group chat about a few ideas, spoke to Calum both on the phone and in real life, and had even gone on a double date with Michael, Crystal, and a god-awful redhead. Ashtons girlfriend had taken friendly to you after a few mores parties, so youd even seen her for lunch and shopping with Crystal a few times.
But, he just wouldn’t speak to you.
You didn’t know why. You racked your brain for reasons and answers, afraid to even ask the questions. He averted his gaze when you looked his way, shrugged off your compliments on his outfit or lyrics, hadnt even liked your latest Instagram post. You were craving for his attention, pushing up at the universe which was destroying your year.
Two heartbreaks, and it had only been six fucking months.
Calum, who was sitting next to you- of course- tapped his fingers against your wrist to get your attention. You looked away from Luke, who looked back at you. He was disappointed to see you staring at Calum, a small smile lifting the corner of your lips. You murmured something, Calum smiled, and you looked back to Luke.
He went to look away, but simply couldn’t. He was avoiding your pretty face because he wanted to get detached before he had to say goodbye entirely. He knew you guys could hang out, and you were planning to come to Ash’s next weekend, but it wouldn’t be like it had been weeks before he got your confession. Plus, he was going home to Australia for a month or two, before the album was released, tour started, so his heart could mend.
He loved you, and you loved somebody else.
“So?” Ashton spun around in the studio’s chair, cheeks pudgy with a smile, “What do you think?”
You looked away from Luke, “Oh, it was really good. Really...good. What’re you gonna call it?”
Luke felt brave energy on the tip of his tongue. “Why wont you love you,” he said, directly into your gaze.
You furrowed your brows, your head tilting involuntarily. “Wh-“
“Yeah, we think were done now. That was the last song were gonna have on the record.” Michael interrupted without even meaning to.
“So today is your last day?” Your breath hitched, eyes already bleary with goodbyes.
Calum slung an arm around your shoulder and pulled you into his side, “Yeah. It is.”
You leaned into him without even meaning to, but Luke noticed. His bravery turned to venom, dripping off his frowning lips when he stood, headed for the door, and said, “Better get to confessing, Y/N.”
You stared at his empty seat, cheeks pink with embarrassment and sadness. Calum’s eyes screwed up with confusion, “What?”
Ashton and Michael looked towards you as you bent at the waist, cradled your torso. Calum got a better hold on you, hugging you as you began to cry. Ashton joined him on the other side, sitting on the arm of the couch. He rubbed your back, pushing hair out of your face.
Michael spoke, “What does he mean by confessing?”
“God,” you wiped at your cheeks, “God, I’m sorry.”
“What?” Ashton inquired.
You sat up a little bit because your chest hurt so badly, “I lied to Luke and told him I was in love with Calum because I love Luke and I didn’t want to make things weird. It was after my boyfriend broke up with me, so I was scared, and tired and my heart hurt so bad. And now Ill never see him again because he’s going back to Australia. And he didn’t even tell me that! He told Calum! Calum told me, and I feel stupid.”
Calum chuckled, sharing a knowing look with Michael, “Y/N, you dont have to apologize for defending yourself. You deserve the right to.”
“Yeah, its just human nature. Plus, I’m not sure it would make things weird,” Michael pursed his lips with quirked brows.
You looked up, “What?”
“Y/N, are you still scared?” Ashton playfully pinched your arm, smiling down at you when your eyes flickered to his.
“Tired?” Calum squeezed you in his arm.
“N-no, I’m just sad,” you admitted and pushed your hair back behind your ears.
Calum helped pull you from the couch, Michael gathered your things into your bag, and Ashton handed you Luke’s abandoned hoodie. Calum spoke as it happened, “I didn’t tell you because I didn’t want to freak you out or scare you, but his plane leaves in six hours. Ill send you his address-“
“I did you one better; Its in your Google maps,” Michael grinned like a child when your head popped out of Luke’s sweater, which Calum had pulled over your head.
You looked to Calum, confused, “Its raining, dont want you to be cold.”
“Get to his place, Y/N, drive safely, but drive quickly. Get there and tell him before its too late,” Ashton hugged you tightly.
Michael did, too, and, finally, Calum squeezed you in his arms. “Go, on, then.”
You hesitantly stepped towards the door, a small smile meeting your eyes, “Yeah?”
They nodded before you turned on your heel, taking off like a bat out of hell.
As you drove, it all began to make sense. The song he wrote, the way he looked you in the eyes and told you what it was called. The way he held you after you got sick, the way he looked at you when you were with Calum. The longing in his eyes when he saw you leaving the studio, at parties when you were dancing. He’d dance with a few times, but when youd get too close, he would linger away, deflated, defeated, and alone.
The way he smiled at you.
-
When you arrived, the rain slowed to a drizzle. Your name was still on the guards checklist, and he pointed you towards Luke’s house with ease. You quickly texted Calum you were there before turning off the car and abandoning your phone on the passenger seat. You jogged to his front door, stopped with your fisted hand against it.
Your eyes shut, rain falling from your eyelashes and hairline like tears. With three rasps on the door with your knuckles, you stepped back. The door hesitantly opened- he must have seen you in the peep hole. His eyes racked your body, almost smiling when he saw his damp hoodie clinging to your frame, before he met your eyes.
“Y/N, I’m sorr-“
“No, okay?” You stopped him with your hands and voice, “Just, no. Don’t speak, just let me get this out, okay? Luke, I am sorry for lying to you. I dont love Calum, unless you count as a friend. He is an amazing guy, but, Luke, he’s not you.”
Lukes eyes widened, their familiar blue color shining down at you.
“I have denied my feelings for so long because I am so afraid of you. You are tall, and so sweet, and insanely talented. And you look like fucking Aphrodite. You’ve been with so many pretty girls, so many talented, pretty girls who just- I dont look like them. Plus, I was scared because I was broken up with and, even though I’d lost feelings, it just hurts knowing someone doesnt want you anymore. I-I, dont know, I think I was just holding myself back because. There’s no reason, just because. I know I’m not a size 0 and I know I’m crazy loud and I get drunk sometimes and I can be kinda annoying, but, Luke, I never want you to sing Why Won’t You Love Me? and think of me. I want you to sing Valentine and Better Man and just think of me.”
Luke stepped forward, enveloped your hips in his hands. You pressed yourself against his chest before he responded, “Those size 0 girls just aren’t you, either, Y/N. They’re not loud or crazy or, yeah, even annoying. They dont make my heart leap when they sing or my fucking head spin when they laugh or look at me. You make me smile so much more than they could. Fuck fear, Y/N, just let go and give into it. There’s nothing to be worried about because I will be there to catch you, okay? I cant just think about when singing those songs, though. Y/N, you are in my head all damn day, it’s fucking grueling because I just want to hold you in my arms and kiss you all the damn time.”
“Then do it.”
When he pulled away from you, eyes screwed shut in overwhelming joy and satisfaction, that damn smile was grazing his lips. You kissed it off of him, clutching at his shoulders before your hands moved around to the buttons on his shirt.
“Gonna invite me in?” You whispered against his lips, squealing when he lifted you in the air and pulled you inside.

Moodboard
Prologue
Chapter 1 here we go!!!
You woke to the chirping of birds outside your window. The sun was just peeking over the hillside and through your curtains. You groaned, stretching your limbs to wake yourself up. You had errands to run today, and you needed to finish early to help your father with his newest invention. You shivered slightly as you pushed your covers back. 
You changed into a plain dress for your walk to town. Then you slipped on your boots. You stopped by your father’s bedroom to peek in on him. He was snoring, his shoulders rising and falling with his breath. You smiled to yourself, grabbed a basket, and headed out.
The crisp autumn air felt refreshing against your skin. You began to hum to yourself as you walked. The sleepy little town was also waking up. You smelled the fresh bread from the baker, heard the thud of a knife hitting wood from the butcher, and saw the bright white flowers at the florist. You waved to each of them as you passed.
“Good morning, Y/N,” said the florist. 
“Good morning, Elaine,” you replied sweetly.
“How’s your father?” she asked.
“Sleeping soundly,” you replied with a smile. 
“On your way to pick up his medicine, I assume?” she guessed.
You nodded. “It’s that time. I’ll be by later to pick up some flowers for my mother’s grave. Is that alright?”
“Of course, darling,” she assured you. “I’ll start an arrangement.”
“You’re the best!”
You waved once more and started toward the apothecary. Your father had a dreadful illness which caused him to cough. At first, you wrote it off as dust from all the things he built. But then he began to cough up blood, and you insisted on taking him into town. The pharmacist gave him some herbal treatments, which was manageable, but it wasn’t a cure. You wished you could take your father to a big city to get a trained doctor to treat him, but you couldn’t afford it.
With a sigh, you entered the apothecary. The pharmacist - Lyle - beamed at you.
“Good morning, Y/N!” he greeted. “I’ve got your father’s medicine ready for you.”
He indicated the small package on the table.
“You’re always prepared, sir, I can’t thank you enough,” you replied. 
You dropped some coins on the counter and picked up the parcel, placing it carefully in your basket.
“How is old Paul, anyway?” he asked.
“He’s fine,” you answered. “I know he’s got big plans for today, though I don’t know what.”
“Tell him to be careful,” he warned. “That dust is not good for him. And we don’t want him to take a turn.”
“I’ll let him know,” you said. “Thank you again!”
You left, dreading having to tell your father once again that he needed to stop his work. His work drove him. It broke your heart that it was also killing him.
You went to the bakery and picked up some bread. Then back by the flower shop for the little bouquet for your mother’s grave. Then you headed to your favorite spot in town - the library.
You adored books. As a simple country girl with a bit of time on her hands, you found your adventure in stories. That was the one thing you had always craved - something more than caring for your father and visiting the village. To experience something you had never seen before. The closest you ever came was through a book.
“Good morning, Jean!” you called to the librarian as you came through the door.
“What’ll it be today, Y/N?” he asked kindly.
“Has anything new come in?” you wondered, scanning the front desk for a fresh title.
“Actually, yes,” Jean said, picking up the book off the top. “I think you’ll like this one. It’s about a prince under a curse, and a fight to break it.”
“Say no more,” you replied, taking it from him. “You know how I feel about magic.”
“I do,” he chuckled. “You know, you could experience some of your own if you got out of the village every once in a while.”
You sighed. “You know I can’t leave my father. Besides, I couldn’t afford a trip.”
He shook his head and tutted. “Y/N, you’re such a bright girl. You’ve got so much going for you. It’s a shame that you’re stuck here.”
“Maybe, but I love my father,” you said firmly. “He’s given me his whole life.”
“He doesn’t want you to return the favor,” Jean insisted.
“There’s still the cost,” you said. “We spend enough for Papa to go to contests. That’s all we can really do. Really, Jean, I’m happy with how things are. At least for now.”
“Because you have my books?” he teased.
You grinned. “Precisely.”
“That’s due back in a week,” he said.
“I’ll have it back before then!”
You waved and headed back onto the street. Immediately, you began poring over the book. You were so invested that you crashed into someone before you finished the first page. The collision knocked you flat on your bum.
“I’m so sorr-!” you began to say, but then you looked up and saw who it was.
Victor. You bit back a groan.
“Good morning, Y/N,” he said with a cocky grin, helping you to your feet.
“Good morning, Victor,” you replied. 
He picked up your book and handed it to you. “What are you doing with this?”
“I’m reading it,” you said. “I’m afraid I can’t stay, I’ve got a lot to do today.”
You pushed past him and kept walking. To your dismay, he followed.
“Y/N, I’ve been doing some thinking,” he began.
“Oh, how rare for you,” you said.
You didn’t mean to be snarky, but Victor was so conceited and arrogant. He was handsome and had money, but because of that, he was spoiled. For some reason, you had caught his attention. But he hardly knew you. He didn’t catch your jab.
“Don’t you think it’s time we got married?” he said. 
You scoffed. “What makes you think that?”
“Well, you’re the most beautiful woman in town, I’m the handsomest man, why shouldn’t we get married?” he said with a shrug.
“Do you really think looks are all that’s required for a successful marriage?”
“What else is there?”
You stopped walking and looked at him in disbelief. You searched his face for any hint that he was joking, but found none. He genuinely believed appearance was that vital.
“Victor, I’m flattered, but no,” you said. “I have no interest in getting married just now. Not when I have my father to care for.”
“That may be precisely the reason to get married,” he argued. “I’ve been thinking of buying the old palace, but if my dear father-in-law needed care, well - I might consider something smaller to get him what he needs.”
You froze. That offer was tempting. But Victor was just so...all brawn and no brain. How could you spend your life with him? 
“Victor, I can’t marry you,” you said simply. “I don’t love you.”
“Honestly, Y/N, whether or not you love me is of little consequence,” he said. “You’ll learn to love me. You don’t have to make a decision just yet. But do promise me you’ll think about it.”
You sighed and looked away. “Sure. I’ll think about it.”
“Wonderful!” he cried. “I’ll come by later to get your answer. Have a good day, Y/N!”
With that, he was off. You saw him join a few other men who had gathered on horseback. Victor had a fine, black horse, which he mounted gracefully. The group galloped away for their weekly hunt. You found it absurd that other people couldn’t see past Victor’s good looks. He was a shallow, empty person, with money and some charm.
You started back toward your house. Only, as you started to walk, you caught the eye of three other young women. They tended to follow Victor around and swoon over him. He ignored them completely. They were glaring fiercely at you and you heard them whispering, surely speculating how you could possibly need time to answer a man such as Victor.
Rolling your eyes, you began walking. Your house came into view through the trees and you walked up the stone steps. Your father was out of bed and already tying on his inventing apron.
“Morning, my dear,” he said cheerfully. “How was town?”
“Fine,” you replied dismissively. “I picked up a new book.”
He chuckled. “Just like your mother. Always have your nose in a book.”
“You say that like it’s a bad thing,” you teased.
You placed the bread on the counter and began cutting it into slices for toast. 
“Have you eaten anything yet, Papa?” you wondered.
“No, but I’ve been looking forward to your blueberry preserves all morning,” he told you.
You giggled. Over the summer, you had taken to gardening after reading a book about it. You had a natural knack for it. Over the summer, your blueberries came in sweet and ripe, so you took about half of  the bush and turned them into preserves for the fall and winter. The rest, you and your father ate fresh. 
“Coming right up,” you assured him.
You toasted the bread over the fire and then retrieved your preserves from the pantry. You spread it generously over the bread, and enjoyed the breakfast treat with your father. He groaned at the taste.
“Y/N, these are just delicious!” he praised. “I hope you keep growing all our food!”
“I’ll need more practice for that, but thank you,” you returned. 
“So, did you see anyone in town today?” he asked.
“Well, I saw Lyle,” you began. “Speaking of which, your medicine is on the counter, don’t forget to take it. Then Jean at the book shop. And Elaine arranged some flowers for me to put on Mama’s grave.”
“How nice,” he said.
“I, uh…” you trailed off. You wondered if you should tell him about Victor’s offer. “I also saw Victor. He told me something interesting.”
“Oh? What’s that?” he wondered.
You quickly changed your mind. 
“He said he’s thinking of buying the old palace.”
“I wasn’t aware it was for sale,” your father said.
“With enough money, you can get anything you want apparently,” you said, half to yourself.
Your father set down his toast, mid-bite.
“Now, Y/N,” he scolded. “That sounds like bitterness.”
“I don’t mean to, Papa,” you said apologetically. “But I feel like Victor gets everything, whether he deserves it or not, simply because he has money and a way with women. It’s maddening!”
“I know, but it’s the world we live in,” he said gently, placing his hand atop yours. “All we can do is be as kind and helpful as possible.”
You smiled. “You’re right, Papa, I’m sorry.”
“Besides, he’d have to appeal to the royal family,” your father continued. “Their living relatives will have claim to the palace before Victor. Besides, the prince may still be alive.”
Your brow furrowed. “I always heard the whole family was killed that day.”
Your father shook his head. “Not true. The king and queen were found. But the prince never was. He simply vanished, it seems. I think he escaped that night and is still alive somewhere.”
“That’s awfully hopeful,” you remarked.
“I can’t help it,” he said. “That prince was a kind boy. He used to come into town and -”
Your father stopped and was hit with a coughing fit. He hacked into his napkin, his whole body racking with the force of it. You jumped up. It had never been so intense before.
“Papa!” you cried, concerned.
“I’m alright,” he wheezed, but blood dribbled out of his mouth and down his chin. “I’m alright. I just haven’t had my medicine today, that’s all.”
“Papa, this is more than before,” you said. “It can’t just be your medicine.”
“Don’t fuss, Y/N,” he returned. “Now, I’m going to take my medicine and head down to the cellar for my new invention.” He cheered up. “I can’t tell you much just yet, but we’ll see how it works!”
You opened your mouth to argue further, but he held up a hand to stop you.
“Go see your mother,” he said gently. “I’ll be just fine.”
He took his medicine down the stairs with him before you could say anymore. With a huff, you grabbed your bouquet and headed out to the cemetery. 
Your mother was buried on a grassy hill about half a mile outside the village. It was wide and spacious, and strangely the place you felt the most free. You took your book along since you sometimes read aloud to her. Other times, you leaned against her headstone and read to yourself. Today, your heart was too conflicted to read. 
The choice before you was clear: marry Victor and get your father the help he needed or refuse the proposal and let your father continue to suffer. Either way, you were trapped.
You placed the flowers before your mother’s grave.
“Oh, Mama, I don’t know what to do,” you sighed. “I can’t win in either scenario.”
You paused, hoping for some inspiration. You considered what your mother would do. She was a very giving woman, but she believed in genuine love within a family. She certainly had not married your father for money. And yet, she would have done anything to save the people she loved.
“Maybe Victor isn’t so bad,” you said, trying to convince yourself. “Maybe I haven’t given him enough of a chance. Sure, he’s vain and shallow and self-centered, but he isn’t cruel. I could certainly do worse.”
You paused and heaved a sigh. It seemed so unfair.
After about an hour, you headed back. You went right down into the cellar to help your father, who was still not telling you what this new invention was. And from the looks of it, you couldn’t even guess. All the while, he coughed. He took several breaks, becoming winded after short bursts of work. All this after having taken his medicine.
You worked well into the afternoon. Then you headed upstairs to start dinner. You were just at the door, wiping your hands on your apron, when Victor walked up. You hastily wiped some soot from your cheek.
“Y/N, hello!” he said cheerfully. Then he frowned. “My goodness, what have you been doing? You look like a field hand.”
You narrowed your eyes at him. “I’ve been helping my father. It’s not exactly neat work.”
“Don’t you have sewing or...ladies work to do?” he wondered.
You resisted the brutal urge to roll your eyes.
“Actually, Victor, all my ladies work is reserved for Tuesdays,” you said, but once again, he did not detect your sarcasm.
“Y/N, I’ve come by to see if you -”
“I know why you’re here,” you cut across him. 
“Well, have you thought about it?” he asked.
“I have,” you said, heart pounding. “After careful consideration, I have decided to change my original answer. I will marry you, Victor.”
You felt like vomiting. But you knew what you had to do. Your father needed this.
“Wonderful!” he cried, punching a fist into the air. “Shall we set a date? How about a week from today?”
“Woah, settle down,” you said. “A proper wedding takes months to plan. And I want it to be done the right way, not the quickest way.”
“Ah, of course,” he replied. “Then, shall we go and give your father the good news?”
“I’ll tell him myself,” you said. “I don’t want to overwhelm him.”
He took your hand, pressing his lips to your knuckles. You tried not to cringe.
“I’m sure he’ll be happy for you,” he said. “There’s no better match in town.”
You forced a smile. “Yes, I...well…”
“I can see you’re speechless,” he chuckled. “I’ll let you and your father have some time. I’ll come back tomorrow to pay him my respects.”
“Thank you, Victor,” you said. “This is going to change our lives.”
“It certainly will,” he agreed pompously. “Good day, Y/N...dear.”
You winced as he released your hand and returned to his horse. He mounted, blew you a kiss, and then trotted away with a wide grin on his face. You watched him disappear through the trees. Disgust crawled over your skin, and weren’t sure if it was for yourself or Victor. Now there was the issue of telling your father.
With a groan, you headed back down to the cellar. You heard a loud whistle of the machine he’d been building, which made you stop. You watched as everything began. Springs coiled and released, steam erupted from lids, wheels turned. All of it led to an axe - attached at the front - rising up, and coming down hard enough against a piece of wood to chop it cleanly in half.
Your mouth fell open.
“Papa!” you cried.
“Can you believe it, Y/N?!” he returned, jubilant. “It works!”
It made you sick to think you were going to have to ruin his good mood.
“Papa, I’ve got something to tell you,” you began.
“I tell you, Y/N, with this one, we’ll go far,” he continued, ignoring you. “This is going to be my greatest yet!”
“Papa, I -”
“Chopping wood is back breaking, people will be clamoring for this!” he went on. “We’ve got to celebrate! How about we -”
“Papa, listen!” you insisted.
He stopped short and looked at you. His brow furrowed at your watery eyes. He switched off the machine and the room went silent.
“I....I have more news,” you said quietly. Dread made your stomach turn. “Victor was just here.”
“Oh? Any updates on buying the old palace?”
You shook your head. “It wasn’t about that. He...well, you see...he…”
“Out with it, Y/N,” your father pressed. “Don’t leave me on tender hooks here.”
“He asked me to marry him,” you blurted out.
You found it difficult to meet your father’s gaze now. Shame made you fix your eyes to the floor.
“What did you tell him?” your father asked gently.
You looked up. “I said yes.”
Paul’s eyes went wide. You knew you had shocked him.
“Y/N, I...I didn’t think you wanted to get married,” he said. “Much less to Victor. From the way you spoke this morning, you seem to hardly even like him.”
“Well, it’s not always about what I want,” you said, crossing your arms over your chest stubbornly. “This is about what’s best for us.”
“Us?” he questioned. “Heavens, I’m not the one marrying him. What’s he got to do with me?”
You squeezed your eyes shut with frustration. A tear slid down your cheek.
“He can take care of you, Papa,” you said softly. “He can get you proper care. Better than Lyle.”
“Y/N, you can’t pledge your life to someone for my sake!” he cried, crossing over to put his hands on your arms. “You should marry someone for love! And no other reason!”
“And what, watch you die right in front of me?!” you shot back. “When I could have done something? Papa, you’re the only family I’ve got left!”
“I’m not a reason to waste your life!” he insisted. “You’re my child, I’m supposed to go before you do! And what happens then? You’ll marry a man you don’t love or respect to give me just a few more years?”
“I need you!” you argued, tears falling freely now. 
“You can’t sacrifice your life for me, Y/N, I won’t let you!” he shouted.
You sobbed and collapsed into his arms. He held you against him and let you cry, patting your back soothingly. Pressed to his chest, you could hear his rattling breaths. It reaffirmed your decision.
“I won’t let you die,” you whimpered.
“Y/N, there’s a contest in the city this week,” he said. “Before you go through with this, let me go and try to win some money. If I can do that, I’ll get treatment, and you won’t have to marry Victor. Okay?”
“I’ve already accepted him, Papa,” you said, sniffling.
“Engagements can be called off,” he returned. “Let’s give my inventions one last chance to save us.”
You pulled away and looked at him. “Alright, then.”
He cupped your face in his hands, gently wiping your tears away with his thumbs. 
“Have some faith, my girl,” he said. “At least this one works.”
“Oh, Papa,” you laughed.
You went up and had dinner together. 
The next day, you rose early and helped your father pack up the wagon. You hitched up the horse as well. As Paul climbed into the seat, he looked at you.
“What shall I bring you if it’s good news?” he asked.
“A rose,” you replied. “The kind you always brought home for Mama.”
He smiled. “A rose it is, then.”
You stepped up on the hitch and kissed his cheek.
“Good luck, Papa,” you said. “I love you.”
“And I love you, Y/N,” he returned warmly. “I’ll see you in three days.”
“Three days,” you repeated, stepping back down.
When you were safely on the ground, he flicked the reins and he was off. You watched him go. The sun began to creep over the horizon, and with it came new hope. This invention worked, and it was incredibly useful. There was a chance.
Paul started at a brisk pace, determined to make it to the city by the afternoon. Then he’d have a whole day to sell the new invention. He was certain it would do better than the last few. It had to. His daughter’s whole future was at stake this time. 
The only trouble was, getting to the big city quickly meant going through the forest. And Paul had not made the journey in over a year. Either his memory was failing him, or the path had changed. He couldn’t be sure which. But it seemed suddenly the world had gone dark, though he knew the sun still shone above the trees somewhere. 
“Where are we?” he wondered aloud.
He brought the horse to a slow stop. Then he looked around. There were no signs to indicate which direction to go from there. Worried he was missing something due to the darkness, he reached into the wagon for a lantern. He lit it, which helped some, but still there was no indication for where he wanted to go. He dug around in his bag for his map. As he did so, a soft pattering through the leaves got his attention.
Rain came down, dampening his clothes. He blinked and looked up. Now it was clear why visibility was so bad. Clouds blocked out the sun. Dark, wicked looking clouds.
A jolt of fear ran up Paul’s spine. A storm would mean a cold, which was something his lungs couldn’t take right now. Not when he had to go and present his wood chopper. He needed to head back home and try again tomorrow.
He tugged the reins to the left to begin his journey home. A low rumble of thunder confirmed his decision. Then…
CLAP!
Thunder sounded almost right above them. Paul shivered as the rain came down harder. The horse whinnied nervously, backing up. 
“No, Phillipe, forward,” Paul urged, flicking the reins again.
BANG! FLASH!
Lightning struck the tree in front of them and it immediately burst into flame. Phillipe neighed and reared back, throwing the wagon off balance.
“Phillipe!” Paul shouted, in an attempt to calm him.
The flames warmed the air around them. Thunder boomed above. The dry, crunchy leaves on the forest floor caught the flames from the tree. Phillipe turned tail and took off into the woods, away from the fire and further away from home.
Paul gave a yelp of surprise and held onto the reins. The wagon bumped along over the roots and rocks, and he was just trying not to be thrown off as they galloped through the darkness. The rain picked up, pelting the man’s face and eyes. Paul lowered his hat to try and shield himself, but it was already soaked through.
“Phillipe!” Paul yelled through the noise. “Phillipe, stop!”
The horse did not listen. His animal instincts had completely taken over and he was focused only on escaping the fire and storm. They hurtled through the woods without any direction or destination.
When Phillipe could go no further, he slowed, panting. Paul peered out from below his hat. He hoped he could discern where he was, but the only thing in front of him was an old, wrought iron gate. It was elaborately designed, and now that the rain had eased up, Paul could see why. Behind it was a lush garden. The most prominent growth was a stunning rose bush. Thinking of his daughter, he had Phillipe halt so he could get down. He retrieved his pocket knife and reached through the gate.
To his surprise, it squeaked open. He gasped as he lost balance and stumbled through. He brought his arm back through the bars and then walked onto the little path into the garden. The roses really were some of the finest he had ever seen. The bushes were tall so it felt like walking through a maze. Unwilling to venture too far in, he stopped before the first curve.
A large rose bloomed out from the bush. The petals looked so delicate with the rain drops adorning them. He brought forth his knife once again, and he cut the stem, carefully avoiding the thorns.
He heard a low rumble nearby. Assuming it to be thunder, he started to jog back to Phillipe. Only it wasn’t thunder, he quickly realized. A great, looming shadow had appeared above him. As he took in the shape before him, he stumbled backward and let out a scream.

She probably just isn’t used to proper relationships
Yeah I guess *still suspicious*
She’ll get used to it soon
I hope so. She can be great if she wants to
*Chloe hugs Adrien joyfully after he giver her an icecream*
*Marinette is trying not the be jealous but can’t help it*
*she accidentally breaks her cone and notices that her hand is now very wet and groans loudly*
*looks over* Oh no. What happene- *sees why* oh right.
I think I was just holding the cone too tight
Do you need help getting it off
*starts to wipe her hands with a tissue from her purse* No it’s okay I got it. Thanks.
But you could get me another ice cream 😊
Don’t worry you can just have mine, I haven’t eaten much
You sure? What about you?
I’m not hungry anymore…
Oh ok thanks
*fake smile*
Can I ask you something?
Sure *she says as she stares at Adrien*
*looks at her* Do you actually like me? *shes not paying much attention* well then I guess there’s my answer
What?.. What do you mean?
You’re still in love with Adrien, aren’t you?
We are dating that means I like you.
*sighs* when are you going to stop lying to yourself and me?
I am not lying. Adrien is just a nice guy is all.
*rolls eyes* a ‘nice guy’ that’s all he is to you?
He’s also a great friend?
I see the way you look at him Marinette.. you’ve never looked at me that way. If you love him so much then why did you decide to date me?
I look at him the way at look at anyone else.
Oh, come on, Mari! I’m not stupid!
What does he have that I don’t? Money? Fame? Good looks?
I never liked him for those reasons! Is that what you think I want?
I don’t like Adrien that way anyway
I’m sure you don’t
*crushes her cone again because she is mad*
I never stood a chance against him. He is perfect, I’m sorry I couldn’t be
Nonsense. I never said he was perfect he has his flaws, every person does.
*tears fill his eyes* did you ever love me?
*sighs* I don’t think I did
Ok well, did you ever like me at least?
*hesitates* Y-no, no I didn’t.
*tears fall down his face*
I am so sorry Luka. I am such an idiot.
*scoffs* I can’t do this anymore.
Neither can i. *woefully*
You should’ve told me the truth from the start. I’m done. It’s over *gets up and runs away still crying*
I’m sorr- *sighs and sits down*
*Chloe and Adrien have witnessed this event from afar and start to come down*
*Luka is sitting on the waters edge as he cries into his hands*
*Chloe could see Luka and is for some reason compelled to go see if he is okay*
Adrikins I need to go.. do stuff. Talk later *waves as she runs in Lukas direction*
-flash forward to Hawkmoth’s lair as the sky light opens-
HM: Such bitter sorrow of a broken heart who was so utterly betrayed by the one he loved… Fly away my little akuma and evilize that broken heart
-back to the river side-
*Luka is still sitting with his head hanging between his knees. He looks at the bracelet that Marinette gave him for their anniversary*
*footsteps approach from behind him* Hey… can I sit here?
*with tear-soaked eyes he looks at her and nods slowly*
*inahles deeply as she sits down*
*they sit in silence for a few minutes until chloe starts looking around awkwardly*
Soooo…….
I’m not in the mood please *as he puts his hands on his face once more and sniffles*
Uh.. There? There?
Thank you but you don’t have to stay
*sighs* Ok look, I’m trying this new thing where I’m supposed to care about other people’s problems so if you a problem I’m willing to-- *but before she continues she sees a familiar black butterfly out of the corner of her eye coming towards them. She grabs his wrist*RUN!
Wait wha-
Shut up and run pretty boy! *successfully pulls Luka away from the bridge*
*he thinks: what? Pretty boy*
*he sees an alleyway and pulls them both into it*
*breathing heavily* Did it follow us?
*shrugs* wow this alley way is tight *as she shuffles around*
*Chloe puts her hand on his face* You HAVE to think happy thoughts okay. Or it will find you again, quick!
i-i can’t..
Yes! you can! Come on. You like music right? Sing something then
Chloe I- *Akuma enters bracelet undetected*
*Chloe’s eyes widen as he pushes her away out of the alleyway and a familiar purple outline appears on his face*
*Luka is shaking as he tries to resist*
HM: Heart Rocker… The girl you were deeply in love with took your feelings forgranted and crushed them. Not I give you the power to return the favour.
*groans* No… I-I don’t wan-want to hurt a-anyone!
Luka fight it. You have to
*he falls to his knees as he holds his head shaking*
*his groans get louder and tears start streaming down his face*
HM: But she will only hurt you more. I’ll give you the power to play with her heartstrings and destroy the one that stands in your way. All I ask for in return are ladybug’s and Chat noir’s miraculous!
N-no! I can’t i- *cries out in pain* STOP!
*Chloe runs to him*
I’m s-so sorry…
Don’t give up now pretty boy, you can do this! Fight him! You know he is trying to trick you.
It-it hurts too much… I have no choice.
I know it hurts. I know YOU’RE hurt! But you can’t let him win now. You are stronger Luka! *hugs him tightly*
HM: don’t listen to that selfish little brat. I can give you POWER! I can get you revenge!
Get out of his head!!!!
I-i can’t do it-
No! *she starts yanking at his bracelet* GET OUT!
*shouts in pain*
*black bubbles start to form around him so Chloe tries even harder*
I’m t-to tired. I can-t fi-fight any long-er
You are NOT going to get HIM HAWKMOTH! YO HEAR ME! YOU STUPID, OLD, TACKY FART! *she rips the bracelet free*
*the Akuma is forced to leave the bracelet and tries to fly away as the bubbles around Luka fade*
Oh nooooo you don’t! *as she grabs an old broom from the garbage and starts to hit it against a wall, crushing it*
*Luka falls to the ground barely awake*
HM: I will get him next time *screams in anger as the light shade closes*
*once Chloe is sure the akums is dead she drops to the broom, get Luka’s bracelet and realises* OMG Luka!
*she moves his head to her lap and pats his head* Come on pretty boy… wake up *she starts to tear up* come  pretty bo.. you’re gonna be okay. You’re gonna be okay….
*everything fades to black*
*Luka’s eyes flutter open* w-where am I?
B: Ah young sir. You’ve woken.
Who are you!? *looks around frantically* is this the Mayor’s hotel?
B:You may call me Jean.
w-wait.. the mayor, so chloe? Where is she? Is she ok? I didn’t hurt her did i? *he tries to get up but falls back down in pain*
B: The young miss is fine. She was quite frantic when she called me to pick you up. She demanded we place you in this suite to recuperate.
Sh-she did? Where is she now?
B: The hotel physician has already given you a look. You should be okay.
I sent Miss Bougeous to her room to calm her nerves. Like I said, she was quite frantic.  
I Understand thank you jean. Could you please let Chlode know I say thankyou? For everything
B: I was quite surprised when she called though, I haven’t seen her this upset about someone else since…
Since when…?
B:*shakes head* please pay my words no heed.
*chloe bursts through door*  FRANCOIS OR WHATEVER! ANY NEWS?! *spots Luka* You’re OKAY!!!!! *runs and and hungs him*
*he smiles* I owe you all my thanks. *he groans slightly because of the tight hug*
B: I will take my leave.
Yeah, yeah whatever claude
Thank you, jean.
*Butler nods and he leaves and shuts the door*
But really? How are you?
The doctor said you were ok but… It takes a lot to force hawkmoth out of your head.
*sighs* but you did it Chloe you got him to leave. You’re really strong.
*her eyes widen and she tries to hide her blushing with a blasé hair toss* Hmph! Its only natural. I AM the Great and Powerful Queen Bee after all
*chuckles* that it true but trust me, you’re amazing. I can’t thank you enough.
*stands and puffs chest with pride trying to hide her embarrassment* naturally!
Well…It would be utterly ridiculous if you stop!
*smiles and pulls her into another hug*
*her face is red* Ok…Ok.. You can let go now *weakly nudges him away*
But do you want me to?
*she is even redder and pushes away* Sh-Shut up Peasant!
So I’m not pretty boy anymore *pouts*
Oh shut it! *but she remembers something and she takes it out of her pocket* Oh here I picked this up for you.
Oooo a gift?
*she gives him a broken bracelet held together barely by rubber bands and staples*
*he tries not to laugh* I ug love it. Thank you
SHUT UP! Arts and crafts isn’t my strong suit ok! You caught me I’m not perfect!
Anyway. Your welcome to stay here for a couple of days if you want. You can bring your family too! I already had daddy deal with the expenses okay!
So! Just forget about that loser Dupain-Cheng and Adrien for now ok?! They aren’t worth your time.
Good-bye! *storms out completely flustered*
*Luka smiles and chuckles, shaking his head as he looks out the window. His heart still aches at the though of Marineette but at this moent… He thinks he is gonna be ok..*

Mr Barakat & Mr Gaskarth
Tumblr media
Hi!! Ive never really written any fan fictions or imagines before, so if this isnt that good im sorry. Ill try my hardest though:)
I walk through the school gates texting my best friend Aria. Im basically just ranting to her about how stressed- but excited i am because i have Mr Barakat first period. She sends me a message saying: “Yo i see u”, i look up in attempt to look for her and i see her straight away. I make my way towards her, running faster than i ever thought was possible.
“Hey whats up? Youre stressing so much calm down” Aria says to me while patting my back. Im crouched over, puffing from running.
You see, im not that good at exercise... at all.
*bell rings* “Come on lets go to class. I bet you’re just so excited to see Mr Barakat” aria says and nudges me in the side, i give her a threatening look in response. She stops.
I walk into the class room and make direct eye contact with Mr Barakat, it sent shivers down my spine. He smiled and i smiled back.
I walked to my usual seat at the back of the classroom and sat down next to aria. we talked for about a minute before mr Barakat decided to get up and quiet down the class. he started writing some stuff up on the whiteboard and instructed us on what to do for this lesson, of course, I wasn't listening. I was just paying attention to his pretty little face. he's adorable. ....and super hot.
I didn't do my work or pay attention to the stuff he was telling the classing was just looking at him. he was a really nice ass btw. r e a l l y   n i c e. sometimes I just wanna poke it, buuuuuuuuut I can't really do that. 
as I'm just staring, daydreaming, yknow, the usual, aria nudges me over and over again, truing to get my attention. I finally snap out of it. “HES COMING OVER” she whisper yelled at me. I look up and see him slowly making his way over to our desk. I immediately freak the fuck out and get really nervous.
“hey, y/n, can I see you after class? its important” he says to me and leans on my desk.
“y- yes of- of course mr Barakat” I stutter, but manage to get it out of my stupid mouth.
“great ill see you later” he says, and walks off. 
I. nearly. screamed.
and so did aria..
she nudged my side and make a weird face. 
“hm?” I said.
“HE ASKED UIIU TP DTASY BSCK ASFTERBCLSS” she said, I hardly understood a word she said, but I do understand why she was freaking out so much. he really did ask to see me after class, but it'll probably be something very different to what were both hoping.
see, my friend Aria has a ~crush~ on her music teacher, miss Page, and I, have a crush on mr Barakat, .......and another teacher called mr Gaskarth, yep. two crushes at once. lemme tell you its not fun. aria and I basically just fangirl a lot over our ‘teacher crushes’.
When the end of period bell rang, aria laughed and ran out of the classroom yelling ‘HAVE FUN!’.
...and at this point i wanted to die.
I walked up to the front of the classroom to his desk and stood there silently while he finished off talking to another student. When it was just him and i in the room he started talking.
“Like i said, this is important. Y/n youre failing my class horribly and im not sure why, would you like to explain?” He said in quite a serious tone. Now im scared.
“Uhm im not totally sure why im failing Mr Barakat im very sorr-“ he cut me off,
“so you dont know why youre failing?” He asked confused.
“N- no. Im sorry.” When really, i did know. It was because i never gave a damn about what he was saying i was only ever paying attention to his body.
“Hm okay well try a bit harder i guess... the only reason i can think of is that you always seem to be daydreamimg in class. Sooooooo might wanna stop that. Anyways see ya later alligator” he said and laughed. His laugh is adorable.
I smiled and waved goodbye, and walked out of the classroom. So.. he notices im day dreaming... that means he looks at me omg he knows i actually exist, unlike all the other teachers who just seem to ignore my whole existence. ...not mr gaskarth though hes nice too.
I made my way to the cola and met up with aria.
“OMG OMG OMG WHAT HAPPENED DID YOU KISS OMG WHAT HAPPENED” she yelled in my face, extremely loudly, just so everyone could hear.
“No. We did not. He simply talked to me about my grades and how i need to pay attention in class instead of daydreaming..” i said quite calmy.
Aria frowned.
We talked for the rest of recess and went to our next class, math. Ugh i hate our math teacher. So. Much.
I dont pay attention, i just think about mr barakat, aaaand then aria reminds me that i have music with him this afternoon. I instantly get nervous. Music with mr gaskarth always makes me nervous.. beause its really obvious when you didnt pay attention. Like, he could be explaining all this stuff, and then when he tells you to go play this particular instrument, you have no idea what the fuck he wants you to do with it. So its alwas nerve wracking.
*Le time skip*
The end of period bell goes, and i start making my way to music, aria and i part half way as she has cooking. Ha. Suck shit bitCh.
Im surprisingly the first one to the classroom, i slowly walk in and wave to mr gaskarth. He smiles and waves back.
“Do you know where the rest of the class is?” He asks me.
“Uhm no sorry im not sure.. i was wondering why i was the first one here haha..” I mentally face palm myself for being so awkward.
“Well, i guess we can just hang out until they all show up” he said and smiled.
I grinned and nodded. Oh man. Yes.
“So what’ve you been up to lately? Hows your day been so far?” He asks and smiles and then takes a sip of water from his bottle.
“Ehh its been okay i guess... the only two good parts of today were first period when i had mr barakat and now when i have you.” I laughed and so did he, i even saw him turn a slight shade of red. it was so cute. “Mr barakat talked to me after class and told me im failing because i daydream too much in class” i said and blushed, becuase damn i was embarrassed that i said that. God dammit i hate myself.
“Aw, well i mean you do daydream a lot y/n” he said and laughed.
I looked down at the floor and awkwardly laughed.
And just then the class walks in.
“Yo gaskarth sorry were late some kid got in a fight it was lit” some kid said. (Yes, murder me all youd like for that sentence).
“Oh.. its okay I guess” mr gaskarth said and re-positioned himself in his seat. Everyone sat down and i sat at the back of the room like i always do.
He started going on about some music shit.. i dont know what. I like music, well... listening to it. Music class? I hate it, its so boring, the only thing i like about it is my fucking teacher.
His lecture about what i think was about.... opera or some shit ended and he instructed us to all go get a keyboard and play a certain song. Now, you see... i cannot, and i mean CANNOT play keyboard. I am so bad at it. But mr gaskarth has given me an A on all my keyboard tasks anyways when i cant even do them.. hes nice with stuff like that. I wonder if he does it for anyone else...
I sat down at a keyboard and pressed the g note over.. and over... and over again for nearly 45 minutes, until last period had finished. Of course, i was looking at what mr gaskarth was doing while hitting the g note. He was adorable... his little smirk and the cute faces he makes are just, perfectly adorable.
When the end of bell rang, i got up, collected my stuff and headed to the door, but i felt a hand grab my arm and stop me in my tracks. I look behind me to see who it was, just expecting a random person in my class, it was actually mr gaskarth. I blushed like mad and i saw that he could see that. He nervously laughed and scratched his head while looking away cutely.
“So uh.. i just wanted to tell you that you look really nice today. Like, your hair and your makeup its just-“ i cut him off.
“THANK YOU” i practically yelled....
He laughed. “Youre welcome, youre very pretty. I heard some people calling you emo and ugly earlier.. and i didnt know what to do because i think you actually look great today” he said and smiled at me.
“Thank you, you really dont know how much that means to me, mr gaskarth.” I said and smiled sweetly and blushed again.
“Well... you should get going. Have a nice rest of the day” he said as i was leaving and smiled.
“You too, mr gaskarth” i replied, smiled, and waved him goodbye, he did too.
I made my way out of school and started walking home.
I hate that i like teachers... and two of them... why cant i just like 1 person? And can they not be a goddamn teacher? I sighed and continued my walk home.

could you write the got7 maknae line neighbour!au,,,,i love your writing btw
sure!find the other members (here) 
Youngjae:
specifically chose an apartment with enough space for a piano,,,,,,,which means his living room is just his piano and like a rug there isn’t any room for anything else,,,,,,
but that’s fine with him because he has his computer set up in the bedroom so he can play games and that’s all he really needs in his life youngjae is a simple man with simple hobbies
he also won’t admit it but he spent more money on coco’s bed than he did on his own (definitely waited for ikea’s end of year sale or something for that)
keeps everything pretty minimal in style, beige’s and whites. tries to keep his place tidy because he knows it would make his mother proud and he wants to leave as much open space for coco to play around
more dog toys in his apartment than there is furniture 
the neighbors all know him as ‘debussy boy’ because in the spring/summer when youngjae has his windows open the neighbors can hear him practicing clair de lune and it’s such a relaxing melody that someone will shout “encore!” just to hear youngjae play it again
he’s also just a really sweet, mannered guy so most of the neighbors don’t mind his music and some of the moms keep asking him to offer piano lessons so they can bring their kids over to be taught by him
and that’s exactly what he does because hey, rent is getting higher and making some extra money on the side is never a bad thing
but most of the time he can’t even bring himself to take the neighbors money,,,,,,,,,he ends up teaching on donations that the parents have to literally push onto him
and you’ve never been really interested in learning to play the piano,,,,,but you’ve lived across from youngjae for half a year now and every time you hear him play it’s like ,,,,,, it’s like stepping into a fairytale 
not to mention that when you see him, with that eye smile of his and that adorable innocent aura,,,,,,,like ok ok you might maybe have developed a little crush or whatever,,,,,,,,
so one day you as you’re taking the elevator up with him, talking about the weather, you suddenly go “i heard you teach piano lessons - can i possibly sign up for one?”
and youngjae seems a little surprised, mostly because his students are all children 
but even with his cheeks getting more red he tells you that sure, he’s free this sunday
and before you ring his doorbell on sunday afternoon you check your hair and straighten your shirt like one hundred million times but when you finally do, youngjae opens the door and apologizes in a stutter for the mess (there isn’t any mess tho lmao)
and you follow him to the pretty piano in the middle of his living room and you’re like “where’s your tv? o:” and youngjae is like “no ,,,, room,,,,,,,,,,, i watch whatever i can on my laptop!” and you’re like “you must really love playing the piano, it’s like this apartment is dedicated just to this instrument”
and you don’t even mean to make him embarrassed, but youngjae has to hide his face for a bit because he’s blushing and once you both sit down on the bench you confess you don’t have the first clue about what you’re doing
and youngjae finally seems less shy, smiling and putting his fingers on the keys and teaching you slowly what sound each one makes
and the time passes so fast as you two sit side by side and youngjae’s voice is so gentle and his laugh makes your heart beat a little faster
and then you try to play something on your own, but you’re clumsy and suddenly youngjae puts his hand over yours, guiding your fingers along the keys
and only when you’re done does he realizes that you’re basically holding hands and he’s like “aH IM,,,,,,,,SORr,,,,,,y,,,,,,,,”
and he moves his hand away but you’re like looking down trying not to hide the fact that you’re really happy ,,,,,,,, plus his skin had been so warm
two shy cute people that obviously think “they’re so cute” about each other but can’t even look into each others eyes 
and you thank youngjae for the lesson when coco starts weaving between your feet, nudging youngjae and asking him to take her on her walk
and youngjae is like “it’s no problem,,,,,if you want,,,,,,,,,you can come again,,,,,,,next week,,,,,,,,,”
and you’re like “i’d love to!” and then you look around in your pockets for the money you had brought but youngjae stops you and he’s like “i won’t,,,,,,,,,,,think of these as lessons more like,,,,,,,d,,,,,,,,da,,,,,,,”
and you’re like omg does he want to say dates?????
and youngjae can’t bring himself to do is he’s like “like d,,,,,,da,,,dat,,,,” and you giggle and say it for him and he’s like yES,,,,if that’s ok,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
and you’re like that’s more than ok and you’re like if you won’t take cash payment then can i kiss you on the cheek instead??
and youngjae would melt into a puddle if that was humanly possible but he nods and when you press your lips to his cheek you pull back fast and youngjae wants to say something
but coco’s barking cuts you two off,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
it’s cute though you both lie in the bed that night thinking about how you could go from being neighbors to being much more,,,,,,
BamBam
gets in trouble with the landlord because he throws parties every weekend 
but he always gets away with it because the neighbors are like “he’s a young boy, let him live!!!!” and also bambam has killer puppy dog eyes. they’d work on just about anyone,,,,,,,,,,,,,,minus like jinyoung
his apartment is a Mess. like im talking a real m e s s. his bedroom is just an assortment of clothing thrown into piles with shoes and accessories everywhere,,,,,,,half the time he ends up sleeping using an t-shirt as a pillow 
the only thing he keeps clean is a Buddhist shrine he keeps in his room as per request of his mom and if anyone even tries to go near it he’s like “i WILL chop your hand off” ,,,,,it’s really important to him
but yeah his living room is just,,,,like no one is sure what’s going on,,,he’s got like weird art on the walls and a neon sign he bought on impulse and like ,,,,, empty bottles from drinks and take-out cartons and underwear hanging off a lamp ???? glitter on the floor who even knows
his kitchen is even worse like when does he even do the dishes. does he even own dishes? nope bring your own dishes if you plan to not eat off like a frisbee when you come over
you know bambam at first because you hear about his parties, literally like you hear the party through your wall
and ten minutes later there’s a ring at your doorbell and some dude named jackson is inviting you over since there’s free drinks and food
and you’re like you know what ill go and that night you get introduced to bambam, who is apparently trying to attempt some kind of high speed dab balancing a bottle of water on his head and you’re like “why he’s doing that”
that jackson kid is like “oh, he’s doing it for instagram”
and as you continue being neighbors with bambam you find out he does a L OT for instagram
which is fine like,,,,,,,,,,,kids and their social media these days but before you know it you end up being asked by bambam himself for some help
and so you’re standing in his living room, holding up his phone and you’re like “are you sure this is a good idea?”
and bambam, who is attempting to do a handstand is like “anything for the internet is a good idea”
and you’re sighing like ok but if you come tumbling down im not going to catch you
and you start recording as he tries to lift both arms up at the same time to dab “upside down” which of course is a total failure like you predicted
and he goes falling legs, something sounds like it cracks and you’re like
“…………..bambam don’t move i think you might have broken your arm” and bambam whose just laying there motionless is like,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, “i can’t move,,,,,,,,,,,it hurts,,,,,,,,”
and you don’t want to be an asshole and just leave him all alone once the ambulance comes so you tag along and the EMT is like “so what exactly happened?” and you’re like “he ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, fell while working out.”
and you’re not sure if he believes the lie you’ve just told but the EMT shrugs and is like “it looks like nothing is broken, your boyfriend just has a fracture.”
and you want to be like boyfriend??????? since when excUSE me 
but bambam makes a sound of pain and you’re like “ok ok don’t worry, you’re not dying”
and somehow you find yourself staying by his side in the emergency room and after the doctor has patched him all up you go out and get the two of you some coffees from the vending machine
and bambam is sitting up in the bed and you’re like “let me the first person to sign your bandage” and you scribble something like “don’t ever dab upside down again” and bambam laughs
but also,,,,,, he looks up at you and there’s something sincere in his eyes when he tells you that he’s really thankful for you staying with him and that you’re really a good neighbor
and you’re not sure what’s gotten into you, but bambam looks so handsome,,,,, maybe because you’ve never been so close to his face before but his features are so gorgeous
that you have to look away and conjure up a laugh to hide your embarrassment from locking eyes with him
but knowing bambam he’s sly and he’s caught on
and you feel his free hand wrap around your waist and pull you closer and you’re like “oh!??” and he’s like 
“you took care of me, so how about i pay for our dinner tonight?” and you’re like “bambam can you even get your wallet out with one hand?” and he’s like “i can try, for you.”
and you have the urge to like pinch him for being greasy all of a sudden but also like maybe this goofy guy who actually loves your attention a lot,,,,,,,,,,,,,is really cute and worth it to go to dinner with,,,,,,,,,
Yugyeom
if the neighbors cat gets stuck in the tree, everyone knows to call him: the living giant of the apartment building, Kim Yugyeom 
the neighborhood kids adore him because they always beg him for piggy back rides or to sit on his shoulders
and he always stops whatever he’s doing to play with them and just be an overall cute angelic human being that we as people do not deserve 
has that kind of personality that makes people give him stuff for free and when he thanks them they’re just like “oh wait there’s something else i need to give you wait here a second-”
anyone who meets him instantly wants to take care of him,,,,he’s soft
his apartment is really well organized which is surprising for his age,,,,, like his closet is color coded and he matches all the patterns with each other
and he cutely hangs his laundry out on the balcony like his mom taught him
and just like,,,,,,,he’s so sugary sweet and simple
buys fresh flowers for his living room whenever he can. that’s the kind of person he is
and you’ve been pretty good friends with him for a while. he even helped you paint your apartment where you had to get on a stool to reach the ceiling and he just,,,,,,,,well stood there
and you know yugyeom has a passion for dancing, he’s always telling you about what song he’s practicing and who he met up with from different dance crews
but one night as you’re going up to the roof to just sit and think,,,,something you do every now and then 
you’re surprised to hear the faint sound of music beyond the door and when you open it
you can hear a song on full blast, and the sound of someones sneakers against the floor and you’re surprised to see the tall, lean, but familiar figure of yugyeom
and although you usually see him wearing some kind of long coat, turtlenecks and shirts from popular brands
you see that all he has on is a pair of old sweatpants and a plain black t-shirt, sweat visible around the neck.
his movements though,,,,,,they’re far more smooth than you could have ever imagined. you can tell he practices a lot, he’s so good that you can barely see any mistakes
and yugyeom doesn’t notice you until the song ends and you (embarrassingly) unconsciously clap
and it startles him to the point that he lets out a small yelp, but with the faint light from the streets below he makes out your face and smiles
and he’s like “why are you up here?” and you’re like “no reason, i didn’t know you used the roof to practice?”
and you can see him get sheepish, scratching the back of his neck and he’s like “my room doesn’t have enough space, plus i don’t want to be loud with my music. it’s so nice and free up here.”
and you nod looking at him with a still mesmerized expression and yugyeom laughs a bit and he’s like “don’t gape like that, im nothing special” and you’re like no what?? you’re so amazing???/ i never knew you were THIS talented
and he laughs again, but he’s really happy to hear you say that and you go over and pass him a napkin from your pocket and you’re like “your sweat!!” and he gets blushy again but thankfully you can’t see it 
but you’re also like “ill go, i don’t want to disturb you”
but yugyeom grabs your wrist before you turn and he’s like “if you want,,,,,,,,you can watch me some more,,,,,,,i don’t know if it’ll be entertaining though-”
but you’re already saying you’ll stay, sitting down comfortably by the portable speakers and yugyeom is like “pick a song!” 
and you shuffle through his music, settling on a chris brown song that makes yugyeoms eyes light up
and it’s really adorable,,,,,,the way he’s so passionate while dancing and then so cute when he’s just talking to you,,,,,,
very how should i put this,,,,,,,BOYFRIEND material
