BLs with Strong Historical Elements
Costume dramas, historical BLs, and BLs with time travel or flashbacks to historical locations & times.
These are in order of my personal preference, best at the top.
Tumblr media
I Feel You Linger in the Air
2023 Thailand
IFYLITA is an exquisite BL, from filming techniques to narrative framework (much like Until We Meet Again). It's about a gay man from our time who falls into the past, becomes a servant to a noble house, and falls in love with the heir. It turns out this has all happened several times before. Steeped in history and family drama it edges into lakorn (but not as much as To Sir With Love and with way less scenery chewing). This is an elegant and classy soulmates BL... from Thailand which normally doesn't even try for classy. The main couple (both as a pair and as individuals) were excellent, particularly Bright (Yai) whose eye-work acting style is a personal favorite of mine. Pity about the ending. Oh it wasn’t that sad but it wasn’t good either. This show could easily have earned a 10/10 from me except that it fumbled the… erm… balls in the final quarter. Argh. Whatever.
Tumblr media
Nobleman Ryu's Wedding
2021 Korea - WeTV
A boy cross-dresses to take his runaway sister's place as a bride to a shy scholar, turns out they like being married. A historical setting allowed this BL to use some seriously old fashioned romance tropes (arranged marriage, evil step-sisters, Cinderfella) but also modern BL stylings like fake relationship & secret identity (drag) plus some cute gay panic. It reminded me of 12th Night more than anything else which just happens to be my favorite Shakespeare play. For all these reasons, I adored it.
(the ghat kiss!)
Tumblr media
Tinted With You
2022 Korea - Viki
Fun stylish time travel meets portal fantasy with a likable cast, historical setting, and two actual kisses that mitigate the rough plot and issues around anachronisms.
Tumblr media
Word of Honor
2021 China (censored) - Viki/YouTube?
I don’t rec Chinese stuff often, because I believe in censoring the censors, but this show is one of my favorites of the post 2016 censored bromances. It’s two murder-gay assassins (pining sunshine/tsundere), and they are so insanely gay for two boys who will never be allowed to kiss. Tropes include: wuxia, soulmates, paranormal, historical, and fantasy elements.
Tumblr media
To Sir, With Love AKA Khun Chai
2022 Thailand - YouTube?
This is a true lakorn (basically Thai tellenovella or soap opera) with scenery chewing performances, especially from the mother characters. Gone With the Wind + Days of Our Lives but gay. That said? I loved it: A glorious central brother relationship (the best, made me cry), het romances, class divide + gay *gasp* main romance - oh my word, the campy drama of it all! Arranged marriage, rebellion, cut sleeves, over-the-top death with curses and regrets, beautiful if inaccurate costumes, secrets unraveling, cover ups, sparkle murder, sex herbs, coils within coils including snakes and murderous green metallic sequins (is anything gayer on this earth?). It’s a WILD ride but it does end happy for our gay boys. A man cries when he finds DEATH GLITTER. Come on! You haffa watch it. That said, like Manner of Death I struggle to rate something on a BL scale when it patently isn’t a BL. So I ended up giving this exactly what I gave that show, 7/10 I enjoyed it a whole lot, but not as a BL.
Tumblr media
The Untamed (Special BL Edition)
2020 China (censored) - YouTube
Censored wuxia bromance, amorphous ending. Probubly the best known BL of its kind out of China and responsible for bring many fans to the BL side.
Tumblr media
Our Skyy 2: Never Let Me Go
2023 Thailand - YouTube
I was nervous to watch this PondPhuwin vehicle but I liked it a lot! Doomed soulmates + paranormal time travel to fix the past. I’m happy for the outfits and the dancing (if not the singing). It’s not a bad premise and it’s nice to see GMMTV lean into its high production values for a change. I'd adore a full historical starring these two and this was definitely the best of the second series of Our Skyy. I don't think you have to have watched the original Never Let Me Go to enjoy this.
Legend of Long Yang: Rebirth
2017 China
Gaga
Whipping boy trope... literally, servant character takes the strap for the prince, who then makes him his bodyguard and lover when he becomes king. Low budget historical, comes off as kind of cosplay wuxia version of Irresistible Love, but we get (in the credits) an actual kiss, and they both live. So yay for small mercies.
Tumblr media
The Director Who Buys Me Dinner
2023 Korea (historical flash backs)
iQIYI
A new employee at a film company encounters a director who claims to have lived 300 years and insists that they have to date (eat, hug & kiss) if baby doesn't want to die. It has a lot of Japanese elements, not the least of which are: an office setting, the fact that every character in this show is unhinged, and a killing of the gays. Featuring a gorgeous & stellar cast, TDWBMD should have utilized them less for melodrama and more for chemistry. This BL surprised me by going there with a lipstick mark AND an actually gay idol. But (you knew there was a but) while it's a unique twist on an office romance it is NOT a unique twist on the doomed red thread trope, resulting in it feeling less than the sum of its parts and ultimately unsatisfying. This might have also had to do with the fact that this was one of those KBLs where I felt how very short it was the whole time I was watching, like I was missing something constantly, in every episode. Worth watching for some but seriously flawed.
Tumblr media
First Love Again
2022 Korea (historical flash backs) - Viki
A popular novelist who remembers his past lives meets his soulmate for the third time, only to find she has been reincarnated into the body of a man. This one started out a touch mean-spirited, but we eventually got a good kiss. The confession/rejection scene was justified and the reconciliation and ending was... fine. All in all, the pacing felt rushed and the romantic arc was underdeveloped. They go from like to love to boyfriends in a red hot minute. But that’s par for the course with Korea’s short form. If you don’t mind a heavy does of melodrama in your BL this one has a solid story with a strong concept that’s well acted and produced, making it a classic KBL with better than average chemistry but ultimately a touch forgettable.
Tumblr media
Love in Spring AKA Spring of Crush
2022 Korea
This show was all over the place with uneven acting, narrative, and focus (sometimes it wanted to be a slapstick comedy, sometimes a depressing melodrama) which meant no one, actors or viewers, took anyone or anything seriously.... AND it’s a bromance. I was left wondering if SalHyung is now code for “they were roommates” in Kdrama historicals but otherwise largely apathetic and unimpressed. Korea, I now know you can do better. Do better.
Mermaid's Jade
2019 China (censored-esk) - Gaga
Kills the gay.
The Male Queen: Han Zi Gao
2016 China - Gaga
Kills the gay. Schrodinger's BL, both a BL and entirely not one at the same time.
Diary of Heong Yeong Dang
2014 Korea
Kills the Gay
I was gonna do a top 10 list, but there aren't enough by my metrics, so many end sadly.
This post at the behest of @verymuchof thank you for the idea!
Dated April 2023, includes only BLs that had finished their run by that date. Not responsible for cool costume flix that come after that. But you should check the comments to see if any have been added by others!
I might have missed a few that only have time historical elements since I don't always track those.
Also I would like to point out a decided lack of Japan on this list. My ninja yaoi consuming tiny past self is VERY upset about this void.
WHERE ARE MY GAY NINJAS??!!!

Hi sorry for bothering you but do you know if the Yuu in Savanaclaw novel is still Yuuya or is there a different Yuu? I've been looking around twitter but I don't seem to find anyone talking about that 😔
[Images in this post are from this tweet by Yana!]
Tumblr media
The Savanaclaw volume of the TWST light novel only just came out a few hours ago (on August 25th) in Japan. That’s probably why you haven’t seen any details about it before now. I did find a thread with contains Yana's illustrations for the Savanaclaw light novel, so go check those out!) In the same thread, we get confirmation that Yuuya will continue to serve as the light novel's protagonist.
I’m sort of glad about this, since it means we can actually follow his character arc to completion; Yuuya also gets much more in-depth background and characterization (since we can see his thoughts) compared to the single-episode manga!Yuus, which we comparatively only know like a few facts about their previous lives. For example, Yuuken is part of a kendo team and supports his team members in their training. Yuuka went to an all-girls school and does judo. Yuuta helps out at his family’s Chinese restaurant and loves food. Okay… but what else?? We don’t really get to glean their thoughts, so this results in us not fully understanding how they feel, think, or react to what’s going on around them either.
Additionally, the manga!Yuus are sort of set up like they have no arc or growth to be had. Rather, they serve as foils to each OB boy (and have to be “not having the same flaws” by design to be the “good” mirror to them. Yuuya is, meanwhile, very clearly set up to improve over the course of the main story. He’s not a foil, but he doesn’t have to be in order to be a good protagonist. In this way, I can see the light novel following Yuuya’s growth as an individual who is meek and shy into someone who is strong and able to stand up for himself and others. The story would, then, be just as much as Yuuya as it if about the boys around him.

i'm curious if you have more yao headcanons?
I notice i've found it hard to pin down his character. there's either the hetalia canon version which is offensive to say the least, or there's like the fanon versions where he's sort of an accessory to the plot of other popular characters (most/all of whom are white characters, which imo is offensive for a whole other reason.)
i've been writing more induchu/indchu (whatever the indiaxchina pairing is called) lately and while hws india is almost an oc to me because of how little there is of him in canon, yao is a lot harder for me to write. also partly because i dont know as much as i should of chinese history (what i know is basically from an indian history context) and i havent yet had the opportunity to do some serious research. so i'm curious to hear your thoughts on him! thank you and have a great day <3
sorry for taking a while to get to your ask—but thank you for the great question! i'll cover some elements of both ancient/imperial and modern chinese history and certain themes/relationships with other nations that i think are really central to his character:
creator and destroyer: to me, Yao is akin to the Yellow River itself—a life-giving source whose waters and fertile silt birthed Chinese civilisation, but whose devastating floods have also drowned millions and destroyed dynasties. that’s exactly what he is to many of his neighbours—a cultural wellspring from whom they have learned much, but at other times, ruthless and terrible in his power—a conquering empire who has drowned other nations in his pitiless ambition. here, i’m integrating the long history of ancient and imperial China as an expansionist empire. it’s a crucial element of his character for me, because the Sinicisation of what were once independent, non-Chinese polities has moulded modern China and Asia. Yao’s cultural influence, technology, aesthetics and philosophies spread out across the world—but trade routes and diplomats walked hand-in-hand with power amassed through imperial conquest.
passions of the cut sleeve: so, this refers to a tale where a han dynasty emperor, who, rather than waking his male lover who had fallen asleep on the long sleeve of his hanfu, just cut through all that expensive silk so he wouldn’t be disturbed lol. sexuality-wise, it’s pretty much ironclad for me that Yao has had many romantic and physical relationships with other men too; there’s a long history of m/m relationships in pre-modern china. generally, i don’t see him being shy or flustered about sex—some fandom depictions of him as such feel uncomfortably orientalist. he’s very experienced after all those years.  
old—and proud: Yao’s pride is both a strength and one of his biggest flaws. in the Confucian hierarchy, seniority confers prestige and demands respect. it’s a strength because he ferociously clings to that sense of “I have lasted for millennia and seen more than many other nations have” during the most trying moments of Chinese history. that long history is fuel for him to spitefully and doggedly endure—such as during the Opium Wars, or World War II. it’s a belief in his dignity that roots him in place when the world turns upside down.
but it's also a major flaw, because Yao can be arrogant and disdainful towards other nations, especially from the sinocentric worldview of regarding China as the center of civilisation, with Korea and Japan at times being referred to as some variant of 'barbarian', much less other non-Han polities seen as an obstacle to Chinese expansionism. Lien (Vietnam) is someone he acknowledges somewhat as a peer in age, but boy, is it a fraught relationship, because of the huge number of wars they've had against each other. to Lien, Yao can be arrogant at times, but he's someone whose scheming and sharpness of mind aren't to be underestimated either.
“mandate of heaven” and political pragmatism: i see Yao being one of the most ruthlessly pragmatic nations when it comes to political ideology and economics—it’s a very Deng Xiaopeng “what does it matter if the cat is black or white, as long as it catches mice?” today, he is not particularly emotionally attached to a specific form of governance. in ancient Chinese politics, there is a concept called “mandate of heaven” which was used to legitimise a king or emperor’s rule—but this isn’t the same as the european notion of the divine right of kings. because a Chinese ruler could “lose” that heavenly mandate and thus be justly overthrown—and wars, natural disasters and other crises were treated as indications of that. 'mandate of heaven' could of course retrospectively be manipulated by a usurper to legitimise his rule when (re)writing the history of the old regime by exaggerating its misdeeds, but nonetheless I think it’s a good reminder of many rebellions and revolts there've been in Chinese history. Yao is jaded to some degree—he does give a shit about his people, but he isn’t as idealistic as someone like Alfred might be (in the good and bad ways). he looks at things very pragmatically, rather than always through principle. if this is a system he has to live with, he will—for now. that’s the attitude I think he has towards many of his politicians: “to me, you emperors come and go, like the cycle of the seasons.” 
the old master and his protégé(s)—pre-modern china, korea and japan: imo, yong-soo and kiku are amongst his oldest and most important relationships, from antiquity to present. as intertwined as their history is, it always tended towards an unequal dynamic because Yao never quite regards them as equals. on one hand, they somewhat respect him for what he's contributed to their culture—but on the other, they were never completely free of being reminded of the imperial hierarchy and hard edge of yao's power. here, I’m thinking of examples like how the Korean peninsula was turned into a Chinese protectorate by Tang China, and how China crushed Yamato Japan during the Battle of Baekgang.
the silk road—india, persia/iran and rome: for all his cultural exceptionalism, i do think Yao respects these nations as peers. Rome, for example, was called ‘da qin’ (great qin), which mirrored how China was called ‘qin’ (from the qin dynasty)—despite the distance, Roman glassware made its way to China, whilst Chinese silk made its way to Rome. compared to Rome, Persia/Iran and India had an even bigger influence on Chinese culture—Iran, such as during the Tang dynasty: polo and Persian styles/aesthetics reached China, aided by Tang expansion westwards bringing it closer to the Persian sphere of influence. another interesting element is astronomy: Chinese astronomers worked alongside Persian at the 13th century Maragheh observatory where many discoveries about astronomy and mathematics were made.
as to pre-modern India-China: Buddhism is one really big cultural import absorbed by China; and I personally think that’s a large part of why Yao regards India more as an equal—in contrast to how he sees Kiku, Yong-soo and Lien (Vietnam). I think there’s a very scholarly dynamic in their pre-modern rship: India, in Yao’s eyes, is a sophisticated philosopher and mathematician lol—i base this off the enormous cultural exchange from Indian monks and scholars travelling to China, as well as how Indian astronomical texts, such as Aryabhatta’s works, were translated into Chinese.
the empire is dead, long live the republic: inasmuch as Yao's deeply steeped in tradition—he won’t die on the sword of it either. the 1840s—1910s is him going from crisis to crisis—but it was also full of Chinese political debates. about monarchies vs. republics, labour movements, revolutions and counter-revolutions, as Chinese people reacted to Western and Japanese imperialism. some Chinese revolutionaries, like the Boxers, rejected everything Western. others sought to borrow from British, American and Soviet models of governance. yet others, Sun Yat Sen included—looked to Meiji Japan. significantly, 1900s Japan became a hub for Chinese reformers linking up with sympathetic Japanese intellectuals/politicians, but also other Asian thinkers/revolutionaries, from as far as India, Indonesia, the Philippines and Vietnam. so if you’re interested in Ind/Chu, you can explore how they exist in the transnational dynamic of Pan-Asianism too. there’s the paradox of Kiku becoming an empire at Yao’s expense, whilst that very prestige he wins is exactly why many other Asians (including Indians and Chinese reformers) saw Japan as an aspirational model for a modernised Asian society that was free of Western domination. 
the old and the new: to end off, i think yao is someone whose facets are always fluid and shifting. how do i characterise someone who has lived for so long, and has encompassed so much sweeping history? to bring it back to the yellow river; rivers change their courses throughout history, sometimes very drastically, but we’d say it’s the same river. just as we aren’t the exact same person we were as children—but there is a thread of continuity, so it is for nations—just on a much longer time-scale. and i think that even though old nations like him bear the weight of millennia in a way that can be a jarring contrast to his deceptively youthful face—they’re also composed of the souls of their young people. he can be traditional, but he’s always moving with the times. he'll do traditional calligraphy, but he's reading manga and watching the latest chinese and k-dramas (even if he won't always admit it).
nowadays, he’s that older man in an expensive, well-tailored suit, probably smoking way too many zhonghuas despite the disapproving glances from younger chinese people, wearing an expensive watch or sunglasses. he can be kind of flashy at times and does he enjoy his luxuries. he's discerning and opinionated about the kind of food he likes, but he's adventurous and will try new things. in the 90s, he was confused by the internet, but now he’s extremely net-savvy, always using VPNs to get around the Great Firewall—and also spends way too much time on his phone on WeChat or Weibo. he can sound very cynical sometimes—but there's also a calm reflectiveness where he'd smile slightly and say, 'who knows what tomorrow brings?'

I LOVED WHAT YOU DID ABOUT THE HEADCANONS ABOUT CHILDREN WITH THE REST OF THE CHARACTERS SO I WAS WONDERING, COULD YOU MAKE THE SAME ONE ABOUT KUNG LAO?? IT WOULD REALLY BE ADORABLE : )
Yesss! I was literally thinking I should do that with the others, sense I’ve been asked it so many times 😊
MK1 CHARACTERS W/ CHILDREN
KUNG LAO
Tumblr media
◆:*:◇:*:◆:*:◇:*:◆◆:*:◇:*:◆:*:◇:*:◆◆:*:◇:*:◆
Kung lao would probably have 4 kids with you, he's a family man and pretty outgoing and it clearly rubs off on his children
He would have mainly girls so 3 girls and one boy. So he has three daddy girls. They would have American or Chinese names, he didn't mind either way
His kids are very athletic and playful, so they really keep you and Kung Lao on your toes.
Cuddles and kisses are his favorite, and they give it to him a lot. They are very close with there father and share just about anything with him.
That's how comfortable your children are with you both.
He loves bragging about his children in his hometown and outworld, the children do the same thing. Which makes him so happy they admire there father so much.
◆:*:◇:*:◆:*:◇:*:◆◆:*:◇:*:◆:*:◇:*:◆◆:*:◇:*:◆
RAIDEN
Tumblr media
Raiden and You would have two twin boys at first, and looking to have more in the future. Raiden kind of want a whole clan of mini me's
Raiden isn't a strict father but there are morals and rules he expect his children to follow.
You and Raiden sons are a bit of shy boys but they enjoy the farming life with there father. Growing and planting things is a skill they acquired and enjoyed
They have a lot of fun with there uncle Kung Lao, the only champion they aren't afraid of. Kenshi wants them to not be afraid of him.
"I don't think your sons like me?" Kenshi told you and Raiden, the boys in there father's arms. As he was carrying them.
"No Kenshi, there just a bit shy, I'm sure the more you're around. The more they'll warm up to you." You told him
They do eventually warm up to Kenshi, which is very happy about. He even shows them tricks with his swords
There names are whatever you give them, Raiden wanted you to mainly name them.
"Since I'm naming the twins now, you get to name the other children when we have more, deal?" You smiled
"Deal." He smirked back
Basically his boys honor and respect his father greatly, but sometimes question certain things like children do
◆:*:◇:*:◆:*:◇:*:◆◆:*:◇:*:◆:*:◇:*:◆◆:*:◇:*:◆
LIU KANG
Tumblr media
Liu Kang is many things, but a father is one of greatest achievements and challenges. You would have 7 kids with him, let's be honest it could be more
All of your children have traditional chinese names, and they inherited his father's godly abilities. not to it's full extent
You both mainly have boys and only one girl, which your slightly sadden by. You were hoping for more girls, and Liu Kang picks up on your disappointment
"We can always try for another one my goddess." Liu Kang advised you, making you blush slightly. only nodding at the idea.
Having many boys and only two girls in the family, his sons were very protective of you both. which you did enjoy,
Liu Kang always told them that protecting the family is top priority.
Liu's children were smart, and pretty well-behaved. So they weren't really unruly.
The most fun or enjoyment the children love is having there father tell them stories of ancient times and different timelines he has been in
When it comes to vacationing with the family, Liu does world traveling with them. To bring them to the most beautiful and unique places.
The children likes just about everyone Liu associates himself with. Although the boys find Johnny quite annoying, his daughter on the other hand thinks he's hilarious.
The challenges I spoke of earlier, is Liu Kang cannot always be around and is gone a lot of times. Due to being earthrealms protector.
So he misses out on the beautiful moments of his children's lives, so you would record every moment while he's gone. And make a video tape for him with Johnny's help so he can watch and feel as though he's there
His children miss him greatly when he's gone, but they stay strong for him.
but when he comes back, it's like his world is at peace again.
◆:*:◇:*:◆:*:◇:*:◆◆:*:◇:*:◆:*:◇:*:◆◆:*:◇:*:◆
KUAI LIANG
Tumblr media
A/N: I wasn't sure if I already did one with my boi scorpion, so I'm a put one again
Kuai Liang is very nervous when it comes to having children, you and him have 10 children. (Honestly the lim kuei brothers as I've said before would have a lot of kids in my opinion lol)
Kuai Liang sometimes worries if he can be a good father or not, him and his brothers were raised in a very strict household and brought up as warriors.
Although you comfort him saying the love he shows and gives you, to do the same for his children.
"As much as I adore you Kuai Liang, the kids will as well. I guarantee you babe." you comforted him.
"I hope so Y/N."
Now Kuai's kids are super lovable and clingy, much to your shock but happy. Because there very close to your husband, and he was afraid they wouldn't want or like him.
You both have a decent amount of boys and girls, 6 girls and 4 boys. They weren't keen on violence, and Kuai loved that.
Even so he still had to teach them how to defend themselves, in case of any danger.
Suprisingly they LOVED BI-HAN! The king of grumps and anger issues. Whenever there father was on a mission alone, they would look to be close to there uncle Bi-Han as they felt safe being by him.
You were happy Bi-han didn't really push them away, and loved them as if they were his own. Kuai liang felt his heart swell at the scene
"It is a bit scary seeing my brother... You know"
"Care about something other than the clan and himself. Yeah I feel you. He must be from another timeline." You finished his thoughts joking with him.
Also just like Bi-Han's children, his girls loved doing there father's hair.
◆:*:◇:*:◆:*:◇:*:◆◆:*:◇:*:◆:*:◇:*:◆◆:*:◇:*:◆
JOHNNY CAGE
Tumblr media
Johnny was super excited to have little versions of himself, and you had 2 kids one boy and one girl. his daughter being the oldest.
Johnny just like Kung Lao, would brag about his family and kids to the world and all over social media.
Johnny would even bring them to where he works, showing you off as if they were the biggest blessing he has ever received.
"You see these cuties right here, THEY'RE MY FUCKING KIDS! Look how cute they are." Johnny made sure everyone known.
you shaking your head smiling, "Baby relax, I'm sorry guys excuse my chaotic husband."
Johnny's daughter was a extrovert little diva and his son was an introverted game head. A very unique personality and pairs.
His daughter and Son don't really brag about him, but they admire him in secret.
also they love meeting his friends from other worlds and powers, his son really loves it and think Raiden and Liu Kang is super cool and badass.
Which Johnny slightly becomes jealous, "Hey I'm pretty badass too."
"It's not always about you johnny." You told him.

This is a mess of a brain rot
So once upon a time I wrote some ideas of what would happen if we put Nick's characters in a room
Yesterday I was reading a fic from Chinese RWRB fandom where George (Mary & George, Nick) Marco (The Kissing Booth, Taylor), and Tom (The Beneath My Feet, Nick) were side characters and school friends with the daughter oc of the fic
All of them are pre-teens, Tom is an adorable, shy baby, George is the prettiest boy in school and has boys literally falling over their feet for his smile, and Marco is Tom's boyfriend who walks him home and defends him from bullies (as much as a boyfriend as a kid can be)
And I was reminded of a fic series from my other fandom (it's Chinese) where the author basically rounded up the actors' other characters (who kinda had either no chemistry or a shit relationship storyline in their original work), made them housemates, and basically paired them up and created a big cross over rom-com
And I immediately started brainstorming and thinking of an RWRB/ Taylor Nick Universe version of the same concept: Henry as an Eng Lit student and Alex a Law student, Robert (Cinderella, Nick) can be Henry's cousin who's doing a musical theatre degree, Marco, Tom, Johnnie (High Strung, Nick) (and maybe Conor (Handsome Devil, Nick)?) could all be music students, George's whole trajectory maybe can be translating into a sugar daddy situation still with some form of King James, maybe all of Nick's characters are in one apartment complex and all of Taylor's characters neighbouring them etc etc... This whole idea got me so freaking excited
And then a slew of questions flooded my mind: How do I want to do this? Comic? Ask blog? Fic? Bullet point posts? Am I gonna commit to this? Is there even an audience for this? How much bullshit can I come up with?
Also, what the fuck am I gonna do with the characters? I only really know Henry, Alex, Conor, Marco, and maybe Robert, and maybe Timmy. I don't really have the time or the interest to watch all of the boys' filmography (sorry I love the boys with all my heart but I'm a really plot-driven viewer when it comes to shows/movies), what am I gonna do with that? What am I gonna do with shipping? I say this with all the love for Taylor but Nick does have a larger filmography thus more characters than he does, and even just with Marco I have no idea who to pair him up with because there are so many possible good ship dynamics but I prefer just sticking to one ship? What the fuck?
Yeah I don't fucking know if there's a point I'm trying to make or a conclusion I'm trying to reach but here ya go Welcome to the mess that is my mind

ningning groaned as she walked through the door to her room. she pushed her luggage across the room and landed on her bed.the jet lag from the flight from la back to seoul was always rough, but after you two slept together the night before she found herself a different kind of sore.
you. why did she find herself thinking of you?
sure, last night was fun, but so were all her other nights with her fans. you were no different.
the chinese woman moved to light a cigarette to clear her head. 
as ning inhaled the smoke, she stared blankly at the flickering flame of the lighter. her mind was filled with a jumble of thoughts and emotions that she couldn't quite make sense of. 
she wondered why you were lingering in her thoughts, why you stood out from the crowd of other fans she encountered regularly.
the truth was, she had enjoyed her time with you more than she cared to admit. there was a certain connection that went beyond the typical fan interaction. 
it was something different, but she didn’t know if she liked “different”. 
the cigarette burned down to the filter as she continued to ponder her feelings. she realized that being with you had awakened a desire for something more, something beyond the fleeting encounters with fans. 
opening herself up to the possibility of a deeper connection meant risking stability, and that was a terrifying thought. 
she stubbed out the cigarette in an ashtray and lay back on her bed, staring up at the ceiling. 
reaching over, she grabbed her phone and texted four different people. she needed a distraction from you, and she was going to get it one way or another.  
the aespa member had numerous messages of people who wanted her, so she picked four random ones to see later.
the first person was an old staff member who had a crush on her. he was a shy boy, quiet most of the time. ning thought it was adorable. she could easily get what she wanted from him.
however the second person she texted was an old trainee. she was older than ning by a few years, but not older than jimin. ning knew the other girl was definitely attracted to her.
the third and fourth ones were just random people, and she didn’t even remember their names. 
it’s not like they mattered to her either, anyway.
there was a familiar void that was showing itself once again, and all she cared about was filling it, even if it was only temporary.
several drinks and a few edibles later, the idol found herself in the arms of someone else. 
the dimly lit room provided a false sense of comfort as ningning sought solace in this fleeting encounter. bodies intertwined, she lost herself in the physicality, trying to drown out the echoes of your memory. but with each passing moment, she couldn't help but wonder if this was truly what she needed.
as the night wore on and the morning light seeped through the curtains, ningning lay awake, her mind heavy with regret. the emptiness that had momentarily faded now returned with a vengeance. she realized that seeking distractions and temporary connections wouldn't heal the ache within her.
slowly, she extricated herself from the tangle of limbs, silently slipping away from the slumbering stranger. her heart weighed heavily, burdened by the choices she had made.
there it was, that endless void she never seemed to fill.
standing alone in the quiet corridor, ningning took a deep breath. 
it was quiet. she hated the quiet. 
when it was quiet, she could feel it even more. 
it was just as quiet when the young idol sat in the back of the manager’s car, already preparing herself for the not-so-quiet scolding she’d receive later from karina once she got back to the dorms. 
ningning leaned her head against the car window, watching the passing scenery with a heavy heart. numbness stirred within her, amplifying the silence that enveloped. she knew she couldn't escape the consequences of her actions, and facing her leader’s disappointment would be one of them.
but it wasn’t like she wasn’t used to it at this point. she knew jimin, and the rest of her members, were all disappointed in her. it was nothing new.
the car pulled up in front of the building, and the young idol gathered her belongings, steeling herself for what awaited her inside. 
as she stepped through the familiar door, she was met with the tense atmosphere. karina's stern expression confirmed that news had traveled fast.
without a word, the aespa leader motioned for her youngest member to follow her to her room. ning obediently trailed behind, her mind still clouded with a throbbing hangover and self-disappointment. 
she could barely process the fact that she was awake right now, and the last thing she wanted was to sit there and get yelled at for the same things she’s always done. 
in the confines of her room, karina's disappointment hung heavily in the air. ning could hear her leader’s voice was firm but tinged with a hint of sadness as she expressed her concerns and disappointment in ningning's recent behavior.
ningning listened quietly, her gaze fixed on the floor. truth be told, everything sounded muffled to her. it was going in one ear and out the other. the chinese woman rubbed her temple, silently hoping jimin would just shut up and leave her alone. 
she already felt like shit, and karina had once again reminded her that seeking distractions had only led her further astray from the person she wanted to be. 
as karina's words faded into the background, ningning's thoughts drifted back to the times when her father would scold her. that’s what this felt like. jimin’s scoldings always felt like her father’s all those years ago.
“unnie,” the younger idol interrupted. jimin’s eyes flickered to the figure of her youngest member, pausing to let the other girl speak. ning glanced up at her and huffed lightly. “i can’t do this right now.”
jimin sighed, her expression softening slightly. she understood that ningning was overwhelmed and needed space to process her emotions. karina reached out and placed a comforting hand on ningning's shoulder.
"just remember what i said, ningning," karina said gently. "okay?"
"okay unnie," ningning whispered, her voice barely audible. "i will."
once the older girl left, ningning let out a breath she had been holding. she reached over on her nightstand and pulled out her package of cigarettes. 
lighting a cigarette, she took a long drag, allowing the smoke to fill her lungs. the familiar burn and taste provided a brief distraction from the emotional turmoil swirling inside her. as she exhaled, a cloud of smoke filled the air, dissipating into the room.
it was quiet again. she hated the quiet.
her phone buzzed, filling the otherwise deafening silence. she glanced at the notification, feeling the way her breathing hitched when she saw what it was.
from: y/n.
how was the flight?
the ghost of a smile appeared on her lips as she picked up the phone. 
ningning stared at the message from you, her heart skipping a beat. she hadn't expected to hear from you so soon, and the timing felt both comforting and unsettling. the memories of your passionate night together came flooding back, intensifying the whirlwind of emotions swirling within her.
as she typed her response, her fingers trembled slightly.
to: y/n.
flight was rough, as always. but i made it back safely. how about you?
she hit send and waited anxiously for your reply. the seconds felt like an eternity, and her mind raced with a mix of anticipation and fear. would you see through her façade? could you sense the turmoil she was experiencing?
the familiar chime of a new message snapped her out of her thoughts. she quickly opened it, her eyes scanning the screen.
from: y/n.
can i call you?
ningning's heart skipped another beat as she read your message. the simple request to call stirred a mix of emotions within her. 
part of her wanted to hear your voice, so she could escape the burden of the quiet and the void. the other half of her wanted to just ignore it and hope it goes away.
nevertheless, she agreed to let you call her. after a few moments, she heard the ringing and picked up.
“hi stranger.”
a faint smile tugged at the corners of her lips as she heard your voice. “hi groupie.”
your chuckle could be heard over the line. “what are you doing right now?” the idol moved a strand of her hair out of her face as she exhaled another puff of smoke. “talking to you, obviously.” the cloud of smoke danced above her, swirling in patterns before disappearing. “but i’ll probably go out later. what about you?”
“going on a date in a little bit.”
oh. ningning did not like that feeling. 
she took another deep drag of the cigarette before angrily breathing out the smoke. “how nice.” the aespa memer replied in a tone you had never heard from her before. “don’t catch anything when you fuck her after.”
“aw, you really care about me huh?” your snickering comment only made ning roll her eyes. “you’re funny.” she quipped, leaning back onto her bed as she put the cigarette to her lips once more.
“i know i am, but what makes you say that?” 
“because i don’t care, yn.” ningning answered in a casually cruel tone. “you of all people should know you’re no different than the others.”
the statement was true, especially considering ning’s reputation. but it still hurt you a little to know that your favorite idol said that to you. 
you rubbed the back of your neck before answering her. “and what if i never cared about you? you never would have even met me.”
the chinese woman let out a laugh of sarcasm. “oh please,” she took a hit from her cigarette and sighed deeply. “it was just one night. besides,” ningning sat up a little more before she continued. 
“you’re not someone special.”
a thin veil of silence fell over the both of you. it was quiet again. ningning hated it.
“well, i’ve gotta go. enjoy your time out later.”
the dial tone was all the chinese woman heard after your last words. then it was quiet again. in a huff of annoyance, she sat up and put her cigarette out in the ashtray. with a sigh, ningning then stood up and walked over to her window. she looked out at the world outside, the bustling city below, as if searching for answers. the smoke from her extinguished cigarette lingered in the air, a faint reminder of her momentary escape.
it reminded her of her momentary escape with you back in la. you. you were just some random fan, just another groupie. there was nothing different about you.
at least, there shouldn’t be something different about you. but there was.
ningning clenched her fists as she pushed herself off the railing and back inside. she made her way towards her closet and began picking out the most revealing outfit she could put together. jimin would scold her later, sure.
but she didn’t care. she needed to get you off her mind again, and if that meant straying further from the person she wanted to be, then so be it. it wasn’t like anyone was going to come magically save her.
there was no knight in shining armor, or some superhero who would save her from the voices in her head or the monsters outside in the world. all she had was herself. 
she was all she ever had.
a few hours later, and a few dozen shots later, the chinese woman was dancing in between two different strangers. these men were not that much older than she was, tall and definitely just as drunk out of their minds as she was.
bass blasting and music booming through the speakers of her favorite club were just what she needed. 
even though the bass could be felt in her brain, and her chest could feel the vibrations from the music, and the lights were giving her a headache from how bright they were, she basked in the feelings.
it wasn’t quiet anymore. and that was all she cared about right now.
the man behind her held her waist from behind, swaying her with the beat of the music. the one in the front had one hand on her chest and the other on her face.
ningning couldn’t even hear herself think, especially when one man was grinding into her and the other was starting to kiss her neck. she let her eyes close, hearing the words of no meaning flowing from these men go in one ear and out the other. 
amidst the pulsating lights, deafening music, and the touch of unfamiliar hands, the young idol found herself disconnected from the moment. 
and for the first time, despite being in her element surrounded by her vices, ningning felt absolutely nothing. 
the allure of the club, once a haven for temporary escape, now felt hollow and devoid of meaning.
as the men continued to grope and grind against her, ningning's mind drifted away from the chaotic surroundings. images of your face flashed in her thoughts, a stark contrast to the strangers surrounding her.
it was as if a flicker of clarity pierced through the intoxication and haze, reminding her of what she was running from.
she pushed herself away from the men, causing them to momentarily pause their advances. her eyes, clouded with a mix of frustration and resignation, scanned the club. it felt suffocating, overwhelming, and she needed to escape.
with unsteady steps, ningning made her way towards the exit, pushing past the throngs of dancing bodies. the cool night air hit her face as she emerged into the street, providing a much-needed reprieve from the suffocating atmosphere inside.
her head spun, whether from the alcohol or the whirlwind of emotions, she couldn't tell. she leaned against a nearby wall, her breathing ragged as she tried to collect herself. 
the attempt to drown her feelings, to seek solace in temporary encounters, had only left her feeling empty and disconnected. the intensity of her emotions had eclipsed any sense of fulfillment that the club scene could provide.
ningning took a deep breath, the cool night air filling her lungs as she gathered her thoughts. it was quiet again. but she reconciled with her hatred in that fleeting moment to just allow herself to think.
the realization settled within her, bringing a mix of drunken clarity. she knew she couldn't keep running away from her feelings, nor could she continue to seek validation in empty encounters. everything she had ever known seemed to shift in that moment.
her partying lifestyle was no longer filling the void. it was only a temporary escape, a band-aid on a deeper wound. 
truth be told, she was tired of this life. this was getting old, and it scared her.

Yakuza 7 Dating Headcanons
Mini list of dating headcanons for the Yakuza 7 boys. Once I reopen the inbox, asks for any of these characters are valid! Will post the girlies in a separate list. Have a great weekend my loves.
Ichiban Kasuga
To put it in one word, a simp. Really, Ichiban just loves with his whole heart, head, and ass. When he has crushes, he crushes on them HARD. However, he is also insanely oblivious so if you're hinting at reciprocating, he just won't notice.
Having said that, he isn't exactly shy and will eventually work up the courage to ask you out. He's pretty good at consistently asking you out for dates and is considerate of your likes and dislikes. He will fall asleep during movies though if you don't poke him every now and then.
Likes hugging his romantic partner more than anything, even more than sex. Ichiban honestly doesn't have much of a sex drive but he does have extremely high endurance so if you do catch him in the mood, you better not have any other plans that day because you will just be stuck with him.
Tianyou Zhao
Natural flirt and he knows it. He's coy, but never smug as he's worried about saying something offensive. Smooth talker on the outside but biggest sweetie on the inside. Secretly loses his mind every single time he sees you. Honestly, the best way to figure out if he's into you is just to catch him staring at you, which he will do just about every chance he gets.
Most dates with Zhao are dinner dates, either at a restaurant or just a homecooked meal in his apartment. He also eats just about anything so if you want to cook him something, especially from your own culture, he would be honored to try it! He also loves sharing his Chinese cooking with you. His culture matters a lot to him an openminded and receptive partner is a must.
Genuinely and truly a verse, so whatever mood you're in, he'll follow suit accordingly. Actually gets most turned on simply by undressing you. Out of all the boys in Yakuza 7, he's the cuddliest. Kind of just turns into a puddle in your lap if you let him.
Joon-Gi Han
Won't admit it but he's kind of dumb as hell when it comes to dating. Whereas Ichiban is only oblivious to things like subtle hints or less than obvious flirting, Joon-Gi is kind of just a brick wall. He literally won't know you're into him until you say so. At the same time, he's so direct that he would just confess to you directly himself anyways.
Pretty casual when it comes to dates. He's new at this so whatever you suggest sounds good to him. The easiest for him is shopping as he's pretty into fashion. Would totally pick out matching outfits with you and proceed to do a whole Instagram worthy photoshoot with said outfits.
People always assume he's a top but he's totally a power bottom. He gets embarrassed when he tops and just starts getting flustered. Most gentle kisser in the world. Likes just holding your hand and measuring the difference between the size of your hands and his.

hi! I hope you’re doing good and I was wondering if you can cast your mutuals as The Pacific men, women characters too? based off of their personalities? hope this isn’t too much to ask! anyways, have a good day!
hello! it's not too much to ask, i can definitely try to do that!
burgie → @im-chinese-believe-it-or-not this was the first one that popped into my head immediately!! you have burgie's soft caring side where you wanna look after all your friends/mutuals and make sure everyone is okay and feels Seen and heard and validated!! and i feel like you have that warmth and stabilising effect that burgie has on the boys too... when you're not around my dash feels slightly off! but you also know when to be firm and shut things down when people interact with you or others in bad faith! you're not a pushover at all and will stand up for the right thing even if it means you have to put on your "shut up bill" voice. i feel like you spread happiness and safe vibes in the same way that burgie does!
eddie → @hellofanidea because i feel like you have a lot of depth and i just feel like we'd have interesting conversations all the time and you're the kind of person whose brain i want to pick about random topics. you seemed like a Cool Online Person when we first became mutuals but it turned out you're actually super approachable and easy to talk to and eddie definitely feels similar in that way!
sledge → @theflyingfin because you're smart and always interesting to talk to! like eugene, you're open with how you feel about things and you just give me sledge vibes sometimes but not naive!sledge vibes but sledge who has seen some things y'know?
snafu → @aegondluvrs bc 99% of our first conversation revolved around svt and enha's teeth (rightly so) and you definitely have snafu's brand of chaos! also: if snafu was a carat in 2023 he too would have a folder dedicated to lee jihoon's teeth, we're not alone!
sid → my good friend @footprintsinthesxnd! i feel like i'm copying the quiz we did but it honestly felt really accurate to me because you're a literal sweetheart and one of the kindest people around but you're also way more than just that.. you're a great friend and always so supportive when anything has happened, and you're funny and witty in the same understated way that sid is. people probably think you're shy and quiet at first but that absolutely changes when you become friends with them. we have the best conversations and i'm genuinely so glad to have you in my life!!
leckie x lena hybrid → @lewis-winters look, i know i talk all the time about how annoying leckie is, so let me first of all say that i'm not including any of the annoying parts of his personality here... but you do have a similar charismatic intelligence thing going on.. y'know, the type of person you know you would always enjoy having a conversation with no matter what the topic is and whose opinion you would always be interested in hearing on just about anything. lena comes in with that aspect too, but you also have her enigmatic vibes, the kind that makes people wanna be friends with you!
runner → @ep6bastogne bc your posts make me laugh a ton and you're chill but also not at the same time? which is how i feel runner is too.. like he jokes around and winds leckie up and is silly af but he also gives off chill drama free vibes idk like i just feel like you're both the type of friend i would want in my life y'know?
chuckler → @lamialamia because our conversations are either about something ridiculous like sledge's ass flash and leckie's sex scenes or they're about the devastation of war and losing ack ack and eddie or something equally as terrible lmao you feel very balanced to me in that way and i think chuckler is like that too.. hilarious and jokes around but also serious when you need to be! kinda the perfect mix you would want in a friend or mutual!
vera → @hxad-ovxr-hxart because you're very funny but also very sweet! and you have vera vibes (warm and kind but witty vibes!!) and i feel like you're very approachable in the same way vera is too!
sorry if this didn't live up to your expectations anon!! this was a lot of fun to think about though!

Adventures of Chika Hanabusa: The Restoration of Earth
Disclaimer: This book follows the events of Percy Jackson and Heros of Olympus fanfic, this fanfic will not include Trails of Apollo, The Kane Chronicles, and Magnus Chase.
Chapter 23: Reunion Party
Chika PoV
I woke up from my sleep and I proceeded to get ready. I brushed my teeth, and I went to the shower. I decided to make the shower hot because it is relaxing, these showers are like miniature rain. Once I’m done with the shower, I put on a green sweater, jean shorts, and a white headband for my hair. Reyna was waiting on the couch for me, and she was wearing black leggings with a purple shirt with Camp Jupiter written on it.
“I’m curious Reyna, is that the only shirt you have?” I pointed and snickered while Reyna glared at me.
“Of course not but it is comfortable, hey are you teasing me?” Reyna says in an annoyed tone. I just laugh out loud.
“Yes, I am!!! I'm sorry, you are just so cute to tease.” I winked while Reyna softened her glare and looked amused.
“You were never that bold with me before, if anything you were pretty shy.” Reyna did a small smile while I sat next to her on the couch.
“It was because I wasn’t sure how to act around you, but then I realized that I have to become bolder and more confident to get your attention.” Reyna looks on amused.
“I’m glad that you are comfortable with me now. I still would love to hang out with you if the offer still stands.”
“I would love-” I was about to answer but suddenly a black girl with brownish hair with golden eyes and an overweight Chinese boy looked on at us in some magical hologram thing.
“Sorry if we iris message you at the wrong time. Jason forgot to tell you about the reunion party we are having later in the afternoon. It is still going to be at Camp Jupiter, and Percy promises to bring in pizza. Nico will also pick up everybody through shadow travel." The black girl says informative. Man, this is so random, Reyna's friends just appeared out of nowhere and invited her to a pizza party.
“I will be there, I would also like to bring a friend if that’s alright?” Reyna asks while the black girl and Chinese boy look at each other and look back to the screen.
"Sure." The Chinese boy says and suddenly the magical hologram of the two is gone. I look at Reyna and even she looks a little bit surprised by the iris message.
“Hey Reyna, are you sure you want me to meet your friends?” I asked uncertainty. I will be honest, I’m super nervous about meeting Reyna's pals. God forbid that they might find me awkward and weird.
“Yeah, I am.” Reyna cast a warm smile and I stare back nervously with sweat coming from my forehead and my heart rate going slightly up.
“I don’t mind meeting your friends, but I'm worried that they could find me weird or like they could prevent you from hanging out with me?" Reyna pats my forehead and strokes my hair.
"They will not be like that if anything they might worry about you finding them weird because they were child soldiers and weapons for the gods their whole lives," Reyna says in a sad voice. I guess the whole child soldier is normal in this demigod world. I'm glad that Father allows me to have a normal life instead of sending me to these camps that make child soldiers.
“I guess I could give them a chance. Where will this Nico guy show up?” I ask
“Probably either 12 or 1 pm” She answered, and I quickly checked the time from the kitchen oven. It is 11:30 am right now, so pretty 30 minutes or an hour from now. I saw a note on the fridge as well, it was in Father’s handwriting. The letter is pretty much him saying that he will spend a night with his friends, and he trusts me to look after the house. I can’t blame him since it’s a Saturday and I’m leaving to meet with Reyna’s friends.
Suddenly I hear a door knock and I quickly look through a window. It looks like some emo kid with a black hoodie and black chains around his pants.
“Hey Reyna, is that Nico?” Reyna came over to the window and she looked a bit excited.
“Yeah, he is" I quickly open the door for the kid and the kid steps into the home. He looks a bit happy to see Reyna. I guess they are good friends.
“Nice to see you again Reyna.” Nico holds out his hand and Reyna just hugs him like he’s her little brother.
“Nice to see you. Nico, this is Chika.” I quickly bow to him, and we shake hands.
"Thanks for looking after Reyna, Chika," Nico said in gratitude while I blushed madly.
"It's more like the other way around." I rubbed the back of my head and laughed awkwardly.
“Well anyway I hope you girls are ready, I’m very hungry and Percy better bring the good kind of pizza.” We quickly got out of the house and Nico grabbed both of our hands and he gathered the shadow around. Oh no not this again, man I hate shadow travelling. Even back when Hyun uses it, I still hate the feeling of your body disintegrating into shadows. I felt my body disintegrating and suddenly we were back with Baccus Garden once my body came back from the shadows. There is a huge table set up for us and a bunch of teenagers like us sitting on the chairs like they were waiting for us.
The black girl and Chinese boy that was from the Iris message earlier came towards us and greeted us, “Hey sorry from earlier, my name is Hazel and this is my boyfriend Frank” She pointed towards Frank while the Chinese boy, Frank, looked on sheepishly.
“Yeah we are very sorry about that situation," Frank says apologetically.
“No it's fine, I was just surprised. Thank you for letting me go with Reyna to this party." I say in gratitude. Suddenly a blonde girl with grey eyes and a teenage boy with sea-green eyes appeared and they brought Dominos.
“Hey guys, I Got PIZZA!!!!!!" the teenage boy with green eyes shouted
“They can already tell Seaweed Brain.” The blond girl stated the obvious.
“I know Wise Girl, I’m just happy we don’t have to deal with godly dram anymore.” The boy says in a laidback manner. Reyna and I took our seats on the table and looked at who was sitting across from me, It was Jason Grace with his white dress shirt, and next to him was a native American girl with colorful eyes holding onto him. It looks like they are a couple.
"Nice to see you again Reyna and Chika," Jason says politely while his girlfriend looks at me in curiosity, as if she's wondering if I'm a threat. Frank brought the plates and he gave everybody else plates and napkins. The green-eyed teenager gives us each a slice of pizza. It's your classic hand-tossed cheese pizza from Domino's. Nico, Frank, and Jason look like they tasted Dominos for the first time and they seem to enjoy it. Piper, Reyna, and I just calmly ate our slices and tried to savor the flavor. The blonde girl and the green-eyed teenager sit at the center of the table. The green-eyed teenager calls out to me, "Do you want to introduce yourself?"
I took center stage in front of the other people, “My name is Chika Hanabusa and I’m a daughter of Demeter. I’ve let Reyna stay in my home for this semester.” The blonde girl and the native American girl stare at me.
“If you are a daughter of Demeter, how come you never been to Camp Half-Blood?” the blonde girl asked in curiosity.
“Because my father didn’t exactly trust it. My godly mother just relented and let me have something closer to a normal life. Reyna told me that you all must sacrifice your childhoods to keep the world safe. For that, you guys have my gratitude." I say as I bow to the group.
“No problem, my name is Piper Mclean and I’m a daughter of Aphrodite and Slayer of Mother Earth.” The native American girl with colorful eyes says as she finishes up her slice.
"I'm Percy Jackson and son of Poseidon," The green eye teenager says as he is eating the slice.
“I’m Annabeth Chase and I’m a daughter of Athena. I'm also the architect of Olympus, survivor of Tartarus, defeater of the Titan King, and the discoverer of Athena Parthenos" The blonde girl says with a smug smile while Percy looks on with hearts in his eyes. I have a feeling that they are a couple.  Dang this girl is very accomplished and she seems very proud of it.
"You already met me before, but I want to be formal this time. My name is Jason Grace and I'm the son of Jupiter and also slayer of Gaia.” Jason looks on with electricity spinning around his eyes.
“My name is Hazel Levesque and I'm the daughter of Pluto. I am part of the seven with Frank, Jason, Percy, Piper, Annabeth, and Leo."  Everybody looks on in sadness when this Leo is brought up, I'm assuming that he died during the quest.
“Honestly we owe all of this to Leo, he sacrificed himself to burn Gaia, so we can sit here and have pizza," Jason says as everybody else is silently listening to Jason, I guess the wounds of Leo passing away really did a number on them. Just what did Gaia do to them? I wonder if she gives a damn about how her actions hurt these innocent people? I know that she must have terrorized them.
“I’m just glad that we don’t have to deal with Gaia, She and the gods of Olympus ruined our lives far enough. Honestly, guys, I'm thinking about leaving both camps and just giving the mortal world a chance. Piper and I already talked about this, and we will leave once the party is over." Percy just pats him on the shoulder while Frank and Hazel tearfully hug him. Both Nico and Reyna look at Jason in sympathy. Annabeth looks on to Jason in understanding.
“You know Jason, I feel the same way. I’m leaving both camps again. I want to find myself away from being a son of Hades.” Everybody looked shocked while Reyna looked like she got shot in the chest. I can tell that Nic means so much to Reyna because she is fighting back tears. Suddenly Reyna tackled hug Nico to the ground while Nico looked startled. Everybody looks on in amusement.
“Nico, you better stay alive or else.” Reyna threatened while Nico just chuckled.
"Don't worry Reyna I will be. I will always be here for you guys no matter what. I just want to explore myself.” Nico says earnestly.
“What about Will?” Jason asked
“He and I broke up; we realize that we are better as friends. He even supported me on this.” Percy looks unsure of what Nico and Jason are doing while Annabeth looks on in approval.
“It’s safe to say but we all need a break from being a demigod. Jason and Piper have fun with being regular high schoolers. Nico, you are always welcome to Camp Half-Blood” Annabeth says sternly. I’m assuming she’s the leader of the group.
"And Camp Jupiter" Reyna stated while Nico laughed.
“You know, we should all dance together one last time.” Percy grabbed Annabeth and they just danced. Frank carries Hazel and proceeds to dance with her. Jason and Piper just dance on the spot while Reyna, Nico, and I watch them dance together. Even after all of that crap that they went to, they still had time to have fun. These poor demigods are just victims of the higher power, I could have been like them if Father didn’t fight for me. I decided to awkwardly dance around them but Reyna also held my hand together and we just danced together. Nico looks super surprised to see Reyna dancing with me. I’m kinda shocked too and I can feel everybody else looking at me.
“Pretend that they are not there.”I buried my head in Reyna's shoulder while she tenderly held my hands together. Before you know it, they all fade to the background, and Reyna, and I dance in our separate world.
As everybody stopped dancing, we all finished our pizzas. I want to ask the group questions before the party is over.
"Hey guys I was wondering what exactly Gaia did to you?" Everybody looks uneasy like they were traumatized by her actions.
“She started the Second Giant War, she tries to trick Hazel by bringing both her and her mother to Alaska to revive, she causes the fire that killed Leo's mom, he stole Thanatos doors which caused Percy, Annabeth, and Nico to travel through Tartarus to close them, and she's been manipulating Camp Half-Blood And Camp Jupiter to go to war with each other," Jason stated while everybody else nodded on.
"It's just very messed up that a being will do all of this to you guys," I say in a compassionate tone. Gaia needs to answer for all she has done to this group of demigods, she can’t just ruin people's lives.
"Honestly the gods are selfish scumbags, they never care about who they hurt. I'm glad that Leo burns that  bitch alive. We have always been manipulated to fight their wars. Gaia, Cronus, and Zeus are all horrible.” Percy angrily says while everybody just silently agrees. No one wants to argue with Percy, not even his girlfriend.
“I’m not going to lie; I was very nervous meeting you guys since all of you are Reyna’s friends. You guys are chill, and I hope that we can hang out again.” Everybody just applauds and gives me a handshake.
The group told me more horror stories about the war and some like Jason and Percy taught me some fighter pointers. Hazel showed me how she manipulated the ground and I showed her about making some plants grow faster. Hazel has cooler abilities than I do, I guess we children of Demeter are pretty much useless.
Everybody watched Annabeth and Reyna spar and I could confidently see that they could beat up UFC fighters. They are so evenly matched, and they both landed some successful hits at each other. Piper looks very uncertain around me and just doesn’t attempt to talk to me. I wonder if she hates my guts or something.
Despite Piper being a bit cold to me, the party was a blast, and we all had a good time. Next time I see Gaia, I will need to confront her on all of this. She needs to know why her actions are just plain wrong.

maybe tang twins, falken, jacob, li ling and long mian with a s/o that is a dancer/ invites them to dance?? if they're too many feel free to take some out 💕 tyvm(✿◠‿◠)
Oajskdnf no because i spend all my free time watching Odorite it's finally paying off???? (Odorite are the dancer version of Utaite, whilst Utaite may do vocal covers of vocaloid songs for example Odorite do dance covers. It's a fun tag to explore (踊ってみた/ 'Odomitta') for anyone who likes funky dances.
Espers with a dancer s/o
Tang xuan
Gahh your excited hyperactive lil baby loves you smmmmm
Jk i don't really like giving anyone diagnostics let alone fictional characters just like i don't like assigning sexualities and such but like either way hyper or nah this guy cannot stay still for long k
He's already lowkey a dancer himself i feel it.
I mean he just HAS the fit the vibe.... i can totally imagine he's not shy about dancing in front of others. Even if he's bad, he dances. 100%. In that lounge area at the top if the tower where Disc hangs out?? Oh yeah. If he's vibing he'l get up and move.
He's always tapping his foot to music at the least
His style of dancing is def hip hop ish. Break dancing, for sure....
He also can do cute ish stuff. He's definitely always on beat, either way. He's always grinning whilst dancing, he CANNOT have a bad time while dancing.
He's most agile with his feet obviously. Have you seen his art??
So silly and fun to dance with. He's hyping you up and dancing with you, always. He has a hard time holding himself back from jumping in if he's not allowed :(
Best dance partner on this list if not.......
Like full on whistling with his fingers and clapping, you're so talented!! Show him sometimes yeah???!
12/10 plz dance w me Xuannie
Tang yun
Surprisingly good...
He's flexible so good opportunities. More tham that he's super expressive in his movements- he definitely excels at like creepy ish songs.
He's good at acting insane what can i say (cuz it might not be acting....)
He's also just super fashionable~ he looks so cute in anything you put him in. He can also pass as a girl if you try.
But he's also not a huge fan of dancing itself and won't agree to join you that often.
He also thinks watching you is kinda boring cuz it takes a while to get a correct shot sometimes if you film and ugh....
Give him some pudding he'l wait patiently for you to finish whilst swinging his legs lazily~ (kinda like a certain relative of his..)
6/10 it's better than most
Jacob
Sleepy boy.... sleepy sleepy lil man..... moving too tiring :C
He's actually really good at it, you'l never know til you force him.
He's really really cute at super cute soft dances. He likes the comfy clothes one wears whilst dancing, since they're usually oversized to show movement/motion. (What my dancer friend told me anyway 🤷‍♀️)
You'l be jealous by the end.
Listen Jacob is smart asf he's just unmotivated, so he's hiding a few skills you don't expect. Being a natural at this is one of them.
He doesn't even really understand or can explain how he does it
"Uh... i just do?... or something........."
He's suuuuuper tired after so!!! Hugeeeee breaks...
8/10 for talent but looses points for lack of motivation to actually participate
Li ling
Yknow he doesn't understand dancing much cuz he's not a very artistic guy n all
But!! He thinks it's super cool!!
He'l watch and cheer you on but he's not too good at it and doesn't understand it that well.
But you seem happy! So! Clearly it's great!
What i'm saying is chances are he won't dance but will cheer you on either way!!
7/10 for being more supportive than Yunnie
Long mian
Elegant dragoon man also does not fully understand dancing...
Well see sorta.
His inner dragon kinda just sees it as some mating dance.. but it's not. It's just. For fun? And some dances are so.. weird to him...
He's good at classic dancing. Elegant slow stuff. He probably thinks ballet is pretty. He's also probably just generally a fan of traditional chinese dances..
If you're into modern dances he'l literally cringe at you 😭
6.5/10. Yeah ok he insulted you but he looked hot while doing it okay?? 🙄
Worst is he'd probably be so good at other dances if he tried cuz he definitely understands the artistic aspect..
Falken
5/10 so neutral
No reaction from this gentleman literally-
Like it doesn't affect him idk.
If you wanna dance, sure, he can like twirl you around a lil...
He won't really take it that seriously. If you're a dancer? A job is a job, not really his business. You're talented, he's proud of you. But that's about it.
Just the ultimate neutral.
Bonus; David
Plz plz plz plz you two... 🙏🙏🫠🫠😭😭😭
14/10. No comment.
First of all he's like so good at dancing too
And always willing to if you ever want to dance??
Heck he probably asks you first
Ugh Jacob is such a simp for his s/o lmao
But like in a cute way ok
It's adorable to see this man totally crumble and loose all his cool and blush like a madman because GAHHH YOU'RE SO COOL AND CUTE?!
He feels like he does not deserve to KNOW you like?????
Urgh and he has the trendiest shit
He probably helps you dress and vice versa....
Just, def the best for any dancer out there. You both learn from one another every day!!

Pet Names | Dream Headcanon #6
Headcanon: Types of Pet Names
Genre: Fluff
Warnings: Please look at the disclosure in the author's note.
Word Count: 1809
Author's Note: I'm going to start with a little disclaimer for you guys. I did use Korean words for some of the members. Please keep in mind that I typed out everything used in Hangul, romanization, and English. I'm also aware this may be controversial but I did use one Korean name Chenle would use to call his GF. I know Chenle is Chinese, but I wrote this with the idea that their verbal interactions are generally in Korean. It's similar to how Renjun and Chenle speak Korean with each other, even though they're Chinese. I understand if you are still uncomfortable, and you don't have to continue reading this if you don't want to.
Aside from that, some of these do sound repetitive. But I still tried to make it different for all the members. I hope you enjoy this headcanon. Thank you for reading ^-^
~ ~ ~
MARK
Mark would most likely use English if he called you something other than your name. He doesn’t seem like the type of person who is big on pet names. So he’d just go with the classic one, “babe” for you. “Babe, you have to see this!” “I missed you so much Babe,” or “Babe, am I doing this right?” It just felt natural to him.
Since he called you that, you started calling him “baby.” For one thing, you were sure that his members would agree that Mark could act like a child sometimes. But just like for Mark, “baby” just made sense to you. You didn’t even use it to tease him.
“Baby, let’s take a break and go eat,” you’d say whenever you caught him stressed about work. Mark appreciated you doing this, and he had told you at least once during your late-night conversations.
Sometimes you guys used the Korean term “애기야” (aegi) for each other. Moreso it was you who said it because Mark tended to drift into English more often. Either one worked for the two of you. People might argue against this, but you were perfectly fine using basic couple names. Haechan might call you guys boring sometimes, but neither of you cared.
✎____________________________________________________________
RENJUN
Being in a relationship with Renjun could be so pleasant at times. More than you thought you deserved, he would be so sweet. He was always looking after your well-being and simultaneously making your heart flutter. So for Renjun, he would often call you his “sweetheart.” He’d use this especially if you weren’t feeling your best. To top that, he would say it with the utmost adoration pouring from his eyes. 
“It’s okay Sweetheart. I’m always here for you.”
On the other hand, Renjun beamed every time you referred to him as “darling.” That was the name you used the most and he just found it so endearing. You just felt it was fitting for someone like your boyfriend. In more casual settings, you would sometimes call him a “할머니” (halmeoni - grandma). You often used this to lighten the mood when he was scolding you about your health or asked if you had eaten that day.
“Okay, Halmeoni,” and “Yes, Halmeoni” you’d say with a small smile. 
Of course, Renjun would react kind of sulkily when you literally called him a grandma. He’d be like, “Ugh, can I not remind my girlfriend to take care of herself?” But he never took it too seriously. You rarely teased him in the first place, so he could handle this. However, he preferred the latter name you used for him. The boy would happily kiss you whenever you did.
✎____________________________________________________________
JENO
Puppy love was the perfect term to describe you and Jeno as a couple. Both of you were young and sort of new to being in a relationship. In the beginning, you’d both be quite shy. But it didn’t take long for you two to become adjusted. In saying this Jeno would often say “love,” when he called you. Oftentimes, he’d tag a question following it. But he’d speak softly in a way that you had trouble denying him at times.
“Love, can you come here for a second?” He leaned back to see you happily go wherever he was. No matter how pointless what he wanted to talk about was, you were always willing to listen. The patience and kindness you had were two of the many things Jeno admired.
While Jeno called you in such a loving manner, it took a little more time for you to catch on. More often than not, you called him “Jeno-ssi.” This made the boy so sulky because, “Are we not close? Why are you speaking so formally to me?” 
But in reality, you were just used to saying that from before you started dating. You were mere acquaintances at the time, so it was more appropriate to attach “ssi” to the end of his name. The habit carried on when you became boyfriend and girlfriend. Most of the time you said it absentmindedly. Other times you did it just to tease him. 
From time to time you’d use an alternative pet name for the boy. Jeno was always cute in your eyes. However, if there were moments you found him to be especially adorable, your “puppy” would be said with every ounce of affection. To be specific you would say it in Korean, “우리 강아지” (Uri gangaji).  Which directly translated to “our puppy.” 
Jeno would secretly smile every time you called him this. His members called him cute a lot, especially Chenle. But it felt different when it was you. His heart was much more fulfilled, rather than you using “Jeno-ssi.”
✎____________________________________________________________
HAECHAN
Where do we even start with Lee Haechan? For him, he is one of the three members who are most likely to call you, “자기야” (jagiya), which was translated to “honey” in English. He used this often to tease you or when he was acting extra clingy. For example, he would dramatically run over and hide behind you with his arms around your waist.
“Jagiya~! Renjun-i is being mean to me!” 
Unfazed by his behavior by now, you’d roll your eyes at the boy. Which in return would cause him to whine that you were supposed to stand up for him. “Oh, was that what you wanted me to do?” You’d say. Then Haechan would chuckle because he loved when you teased him back.
Weirdly but almost not at the same time, Haechan also liked to refer to you as his wife even though you were not married. But he would use the Korean slang for wife which sounded similar to English, “와이프.” He especially said this if he got jealous when he saw his members or some other guy talking to you. Depending on the situation, you would play along too. If you two were out and a guy was trying to flirt with you, Haechan wouldn’t hesitate to speak up. Like, “Excuse me, leave My Wife alone!” 
When the guy left you’d peck his cheek. “Thank you, My Husband.” This would then result in Haechan gushing like a child who was just given a lollipop.
On the serious side, you didn’t use actual pet names for Haechan. If even considered one, you’d most likely use “Hyuck,” or “Donghyuck Oppa” if he was older than you.
✎____________________________________________________________
JAEMIN
Honestly, there would probably be more than one pet name Jaemin had for you. But only a few would be commonly used. The boy literally claimed you as his “angel,” so he would often call you this while cuddling. He would just be peppering your face with kisses, laughing when your cheeks turned pink. Every so often he’d murmur or coo, “My beautiful little angel!” 
Similar to Haechan, he also liked to call you “여보” (yeobo), even though you’re not married! But you knew that when he did this, Jaemin was just being himself. He would be calling you from another room or at other times he would try to get your attention when taking photos of you. 
“Yeobo, smile for the camera!” He’d speak in the voice of a kindergarten teacher.
If you were younger than him, Jaemin would appreciate it if you called him “오빠” (Oppa). There were plenty of other names that you could use as Jaemin did. But he told you once that he was content with you just calling him “Oppa.” This just adds to his love for babying you. But he also felt proud that he had that title in the relationship. When you cooked together, Jaemin tried to help you even if you knew what you were doing. 
“Oppa, I know how to cut the vegetables!” He’d be hovering over you. But Jaemin would insist.
“No no, let Oppa do this for you. I don’t want you accidentally cutting yourself.”
He was so protective that it almost made you want to cry at times. On the serious side, you never minded calling him that. You had used the term when you were friends, the only difference now was he was your boyfriend. You knew that “Oppa” wasn’t technically a pet name. But it was what you were most comfortable with. Also, you were pretty certain that Jaemin would happily agree.
✎____________________________________________________________
CHENLE
He knew that you were shy like Jisung could be at times. Don’t even think Chenle wouldn’t use this to his advantage. This boy would purposely go out of his way to make you blush. Similar to how he treated his members, Chenle commented on you being cute. Which naturally turned into calling you “귀요미” (cutie). He’d occasionally use other adjectives. 
Chenle never failed to make you flustered and he sure got a kick from it. How could you not get shy when he was flirting with you so forwardly? For example, he’d see you entering the room and be like, “Hey there, beautiful.”
Usually, you just called Chenle by his full name with formalities if it was necessary. He didn’t want to force you to call him anything, and it wasn’t something super important to him. But like with Jeno, he would still complain to you. However, he would do it more indirectly. To shut the boy up, you started calling your boyfriend “Lele.” 
In your mind, it was faster to say. It was more of a nickname than anything, but Chenle was satisfied. He didn’t even try to hide the smugness in his expression when you’d say something like, “Thank you, Lele!” or “Lele, come taste this.” Your relationship was quite the playful one.
✎____________________________________________________________
JISUNG
You and Jisung were the type of couple that didn’t take pet names too seriously. But that didn’t mean you completely eliminated the idea of it. After becoming more comfortable in the relationship, he started calling “자기” (jagi), which was the shorter version of “jagiya.” For him, “jagi” was easy and simple for him to say. Times would come when he’d show you something on his phone. “Chenle sent me this funny video, you should watch it Jagi.”
Every so often, you’d call Jisung “Dear.” Neither remembered when you started calling him this. But Jisung secretly liked when you called him things like “My Dear.” It was one of the ways that showed you were fond of him. 
“I just killed five people in the game! Are you proud of me, Jagi?”
Then you’d turn to him and nod with a smile, “Yes, Dear. Good job.”
Jisung was glad that you didn’t call him a baby like his members. Especially if you were younger than him, he might be a little embarrassed. Calling him “dear” just made him feel more mature. Though you’d never say this to his hyungs’ faces, Jisung and you shared an agreement that you were the most mature couple in the group.

Always makes grabby hands to anyone that comes near her to be picked up and giggling along with cute snorting. Always have her butterfly shaped binky on her. When a child, Koucho follows everyone, but mainly her Mommei and has her own blue jade beads jewels. She was always filled with questions. "Are you sure Mommei said you can go out, Meilin-Ge?" She even has enlarged canine teeth like her Baba. She cannot cook, yet she looks up to Hakuei for cooking like she's a goddess… Run… and poor Baira's heart is shattering. Have her own protect the baby squad among both Ren and Sharma families.

the time alex and i bonded over street art prints of vincent and frida. the time alex and i bonded over knishes. the time alex and i bonded over birds, of all things (and we still do, too). the time alex took a photograph of a statue of a full-figured woman and he dead-ass told me he thought of me when taking it. or, how about the time(s) alex said my name, on his photography account and on one of his livestreams—there he almost breathed it.
the time i was eating a piece of apple pie and a scoop of vanilla ice cream while watching one of his livestreams (it was the day after thanksgiving so it was fresh) and i told him and he said “god, that sounds delicious, hannah.” (and ever since i got into the culinary world, he always checks in on my food posts.)
when i was the only person who told alex happy hanukkah this past year when it was going and ever since then, i always use the black heart emoji with him. (i guess the black heart means dark, forbidden love, or romance in a gloomy time, too. so… i think i’m going to save it specifically for him from now on. 🖤)
the time i made a joke on testament’s page about how i wanted to blow raspberries on alex’s gorgeous little potbelly and ever since then, he covers up in some way in photographs.
the time alex live-streamed from a concert in the park after quarantine ended and i was the only one who joined him. and he was just so sweet to me the whole time, like he moved up for me and he acted like a shy boy standing next to his crush. never, ever forget that one.
oh. the time alex told me he loved me on his livestream. march 26, 2021. i’ll never forget it. and as mentioned, the follow-up in… june, i think it was. he saw me say “good night, baby” to him and his face got all soft and his voice all whispery as if he was telling me a secret.
all of my fics of him, especially fever.
god… the way i feel so sensual whenever i write my fics of him (and it’s always with my writing, too; art gives me a whole other feeling and one that’s a bit more intense). ben and chris never made me feel that way. i don’t think lars and joey did, either—definitely aroused, but nothing so definitive and tender as well as erotic.
chinese new year and halloween. white pony from the deftones. anything art nouveau. snakes, bats, scorpions (his being a triple scorpio), and anything having to do with alchemy because i remember thinking of him as like a medicine man when i started paying closer attention to him. it all reminds me of him.
i was at my heaviest and now i’m en route to becoming my fittest in these last three years. i lost my stepdad, and my mom and i nearly lost the house. i underwent the worst drama in years when he entered the picture. i was surrounded by it in 2021. 2022, i could feel them laughing at me. 2023, i found out they were all brainwashed meat puppets who hate everyone and expect everyone to do the same.
this whole past chapter of my life is best summed up as “dark, twisted artist falls in love with mysterious medieval poet in the form of a guitarist and transforms to the nth degree”. it almost feels like a gothic tale.

reality starts settling in. it feels like that "real world" thing has its downsides.

they met at city, they played together. for their boyhood club, they represented their country together, hell, they even won the euros together. it felt like it would never end, like a never ending dream, such a beautiful dream. two friends doing what they loved the most, together. they never thought the day would come they'd lose each other, not because they thought they'd play together at city forever, but just because neither of them thought it would over so quick. how did time pass so quickly? oh how?
spring. the time everything starts blossoming, when the world seems to unfreeze, when the sun shines again and the snow melts. that's when they'd first met. shy smiles, two pairs of eyes trying to avoid contact, two stuffy noses, both plagued by hay fever. two hearts, both like plain sheets of paper. no one had written their initials on them yet, no one had creased the paper, not yet dared to crumple them up and discard them. clean. innocent, jumping happily within their chests. but time should change this, time will change everything. cole would have a few flings with girls from school, never serious. james was the shy one of the pair, whenever cole would brag with shagging a new girl, james would either lie or just let him talk. it's just talking. they're just girls. he's just having fun. despite them both being so young, spots on their faces, beard stubbles that won't quite grow in just yet, it felt like their lives were going into separate directions. but maybe it was just james who had felt this way, his heart wounded by cole growing up faster than him. it bled, not quite enough to leak through his shirt, not enough to make cole notice.
james didn't think he was jealous. and if he was, he didn't know if he was jealous of cole being ahead of him, having more experience in both life and football, or if he was jealous of the girls he'd take out for cheap chinese food before bringing them home whenever his parents were out. that's what they used to do, cheap chinese food and video games. now it's cheap chinese food and teresa, jessica, whatever all of their names were. the times they'd hang out after training became less, some days they wouldn't talk past greetings. james would patiently wait for cole to drop the girl he currently saw, because usually that meant they'd hang out again, but this time it had been half a year. cole's heart had been consumed by her entirely, her name written all over it, the writing dirty, unclean. cole kept telling james and the others how much he loved her, how beautiful it felt. but she wasn't a good person, cole too young to see it, the ink in his heart sunken in too deeply. can you rub out ink from a wound? you can, as long as it's still fresh. but once it heals, it's stuck in it forever.
james feared this time, the time the ink in cole's heart would grow in. many young players would be advised to keep their girls, marry young, start a family young, keeping them away from partying and drinking. why did he worry so much? oh why? why would the blood stain on his shirt leak more? so much that he was worried cole would start seeing the it. he could lie about why it was there, that someone had written on his heart, rubbing out the ink before it would heal.
"you alright mate? you've been so quite lately" cole looked up from his chips, pointing to james' shirt. "you got some on it" james looked down. a ketchup stain right where his heart was. cole took a napkin to rub the ketchup off his shirt, james fearing he'd reveal the blood stain underneath it. the sun is setting, the wind cool on their skin. james talks about burnley, leaving city behind. cole is ready to start a career at chelsea, having received an offer he cannot resist. hasn't told james about it, hasn't made up his mind yet. isn't sure. their ways are bound to part one way or another, both boys not wanting to see it. it feels so unreal, they have grown up so fast. grown up together, grown apart in ways they don't want to admit. it doesn't feel the same anymore, conversations about adult topics. what once was video games is now the girls they're seeing, what once was muddy pitches on saturday afternoons is now lifting trophies for their country on sunday nights.
their drinks are drunk, their food is eaten. a few laughs are shared, a few memories are told. neither of them knew that this would be the last night they'd share together at city.
and so it was saturday, again. but not like the saturdays they have in memory, james in goal on the muddy pitch, cole trying to score an important goal, their parents in the stands cheering. them together, one team. it's the first day they're seeing each other again on the pitch ever since winning the euros. but they play for different clubs, their first days as rivals. it feels weird, feels wrong. cole smiles at him in the tunnel, wishes him and his new club good luck.
and so a penalty is rewarded. cole looks at james, so much fear in his eyes, so scared of failure. guilt in his heart, shaky legs. james recognises the eyes looking at him, the same eyes of the boy who couldn't score a goal against him on the first day of training. now taking a penalty for one of the biggest clubs in the country, and james has to try and stop it. it doesn't feel right, but it's what it's like now. just a couple of months ago james would cheer on every goal cole scored, together as a team. now a goal scored by cole means his club losing. the referee blows the whistle, one last look at each other is shared. now it's james with the fear in his heart, the stain beginning to leak blood again, the wound he once thought to have healed. he believes cole finally sees it now, one last deep breath, a memory playing in front of james' inner eye.
"did you let me score earlier in training, be honest." he asks james. "because i can never get the ball past you! you always stop me." james laughed. "no i didn't, it just means you're getting better." cole's eyes light up. "really?" james nods again. "told you, you've got it in you."
the same smile on james lips, small, anyone but cole would miss it. cole takes the penalty, scores. the travelling fans cheer, cole's new teammates come to congratulate him. james has failed his club, again. but he hasn't failed his friend. cole comes back to james at full time. "did you let me have the goal, be honest." he asks, his voice so much deeper, his kit now in a darker shade of blue. now his rival, no longer his teammate. "no i didn't, you have just gotten better." james says. cole smiles. "really?" james nods. "told you, you've always had it in you."
