Kirby deals with existential crisis and Bandana is a good friend
#kirby#kots#kirby of the stars#kirby fanart#hoshi no kirby#king dedede#bandana waddle dee#gooey#i like the fact that gooey is canonically Kirby's roomie and we never see him therr#i don't think even Kirby knows where he goes#he's like a wild cat you let live in your house but still manages to go out and returns when it wants#did you know gooey means everything to me#everyone's pal gooey#enough about gooey let's talk trauma#Kirby's existential crisis is my favorite subtextual overall narrative from the kirby novels#it's so good how Kirby is always a bit uncomfortable every time they find someone who looks like them#and no one makes them feel worse than void#i think Kirby understood more about void than we give them credit for#and if you ask me why does Kirby have nightmares despite being inside of Dreamland and around the fountain of dreams#the answer is idk#anyway bandana is really perceptive about it#marx is an asshole as always#i wish Kirby's fear and inadequacy could be explored more#they're only hinted at by the novels#but i know Kirby saw themselves in Galacta Knight#the novels confirmed Galacta used the allies sparkler when defeating void termina and the sparkler represents something objectively pure#so my favorite hc is that Kirby was born after the heroes of yore defeated void and star allies draws parallels to that giving you og Kirby#Kirby defeated void and got friends Galacta got imprisoned for eternity#i wonder if Galacta went through the same identity crisis Kirby went through but Galacta sealed with it worse#anyway nothing bad will happen to Kirby after all they have tons of friends to rely on

Behind These Doors - Landon Kirby Smut
Tumblr media
(REQUESTED)
Watching Landon fly with his wings in full fire mode was absolutely entrancing. Landon obviously wasn’t a very graceful human, but he looked absolutely flawless as a Phoenix. Watching him learn how to control it was the only thing reminding you that he was still your little dork, because when he wasn’t gliding across the sky, he was knocking into trees and even falling back down to earth.
“Babe, why don’t we give this a break for today. I don’t know how many more times I’m able to watch you “fall from grace” as you call it.” You called up to him. He sighed and slowly came back down to earth on both feet in one piece. You walked up to him as his flames went up into dust.
“No matter how many times I fall, when I get back up into the air, I feel invincible.” You smiled and placed your hand at the nape of his neck, fiddling with his curls.
“You’re so cute. Remember Landon, please don’t try practicing without someone here, you are still very breakable.” You winced inwardly as you remembered when he broke his nose. It was all sorts of messed up looking and he was in a lot of pain. He asked you to spell the pain away, but no way were you going to break his nose back in place. So, he had MG break his neck so he would die and come back with a perfectly normal nose. You preferred not to go through a similar situation again though.
“Leave me alone, super wolf healer.” He laughed as he put his forehead to yours. You joined in with his contagious grin.
“My bark is as equally strong as my bite, so you’re best off to listen.” You stated seriously. He cocked an eyebrow up.
“Oh really now?” Those words were fighting words. Landon knew as well as you that when those exact words were spoken in that tone with that face...you got extra hot.
“Can you guys chill that out? I’m getting uncomfortable.” Lizzie spoke up from her lawn chair a few feet away. Lizzie was a good copilot for Landon, with her magic she’d held his take offs and his come downs. She just wasn’t always available, so her time was precious.
“Geez, uh, I’m sorry Lizzie. I didn’t mean to um, make that, uh-“
“Calm down little grizzly head,” Lizzie rose from her chair and patted Landon’s head of curls as she walked past. “I’ll see you guys later!” She called over her shoulder walking away. Landon’s cheeks were pink, but you were on fire.
“I really am the worst at timing things.” He whispered as he watched her walk off. You extended your claws and ran them lightly down Landon’s neck, causing him to shiver at the sensation.
“You really, really are.” You rasped as you felt your wolf coming over you. Landon’s eyes widened slightly.
“You know, I don’t know when I’ll get over those.” He pointed at your eyes and you were sure they were shining bright yellow.
“Landon, you know you can’t just say that!” You grumbled as you felt your wolf and hormones mixing up a storm. Landon cupped both sides of your face.
“Hey, hey, calm down, breathe-“
“You need to do something.” You attempted to get your breathing under control.
“O-Okay, let’s just get back to my room.” He grabbed your hand and started walking back to the school. You knew that would take way too long.
“Fly, goddammit.” You pulled him to your chest and wrapped your arms around his waist. He nodded and spread his fiery wings. You only prayed he wouldn’t fall or drop you.
~
“Take it all off.” Landon mumbled as he closed the door to his room and locked it. On the way over your wolf had some fun taunting Landon. With touches, words, and things that had him matching your anxious energy. You followed his order with no hesitation.
“Landon.” You whispered as he gripped your waist harshly when you only were able to strip down to your underwear. Couldn’t finish the job if he wouldn’t let you go.
“I change my mind, get on the bed.” He then captured your top lip in a dirty kiss before releasing you. When you had first had sex with Landon it was a sweet awkward. You both knew what you wanted to do, but the execution was far from the dream. However, as time went on you both learned from each other, gained knowledge from outside sources (Lizzie and Rafael), and Landon opened himself up when you were intimate. Few things actually phased him when he was in this element.
And it was hot.
You sat on the bed and backed up onto the middle as Landon removed his shirt. You were damn near butt naked, but you didn’t care about the fairness, because you were still on fire. He moved to hover over you before pressing his lips to yours again. You held onto his soft curls as you made out. One hand moved to your side and moved to cup your breast. It made you want to howl, because the wolf in you was fueling this desire.
“Landon, please.” You broke from his kisses, but his lips soon found the valley between your breasts. His lips felt cold against your raging hot body and it was exhilarating. He traveled lower to the hem of your pink panties and you knew what he was up to. “Don’t tease.” You begged, raising your hips up to his face. He smiled softly and looked up at you.
“Only because you said please.” With his thumb he gathered your panties to the side and brought his mouth to your core.
“Yes! Landon!” This was his favorite move. He liked the look of you still in your underwear while he made you come undone. You had no idea if what was an actual kink, but he treated it like one. It turned him on to no end for unknown reasons. “God, you’re so good at this it’s, no fair.” You whimpered our your two last words.
His response was him humming against your beating clit. Your thighs were slowly closing in on his head, and your hands buried in his forest of curls made sure that he wouldn’t be going anywhere.
“I’m so close!” You rasped out again, feeling your wolfish urges becoming sated slowly. Your stomach was in so many knots for this boy and his mouth.
“Cum, Y/N.” He managed to break away briefly before diving back in to finish you off. You raised your wrist to your mouth and bit down as you came, fighting from hollering. You rocked your hips slowly into his face as you came down.
“Everytime, I dont know how you do it.” You breathed out in satisfaction as he rose to his knees. You readied yourself for him to pull down his bottoms by hooking your legs around his waist, waiting for him to pull them down and enter you. It was almost routine, and you had not one problem with it. At you readying yourself for the next position, Landon seemed to not be with it.
“We’re gonna do something different, babe.” You raised your brows and Landon flipped you over like a sack of potatoes. He pushed your thighs forward, making your ass rise in the air. He ran his hands up your back, applying pressure in his thumbs for a brief massage. Your face was in fact pressed to the bed and your ass was up. You were in shock at this turn of events you couldn’t bring yourself to say much.
“What are you doing?” Seemed like a reasonable question, right? Apparently you were wrong.
“Stay put and find out.” Your eyes widened like saucers. Landon was never outwardly dominant like this and it had your tummy doing flips. His hands placed themselves on your ass cheeks and began massaging them slowly. His thumbs would slowly inch towards your slit at every motion and the anticipation was killing you.
You were so glad he didn’t have súper hearing, at least not yet, because your heart was like a rock concert right now.
“Different’s good right? Exciting. Behind these doors I’m usually different for you in this situation. Behind these doors you make me feel just as invincible as flying. Free...like I can do anything. Like I can make you come apart while I do anything.” Those words reignited your flame and you knew he sensed it.
“I-I’m ready to find out.” The room fell into silence when you said that. It didn’t last for long before you filled it with your moans again. Landon pulled your panties to the side once more and ran two fingers down your slit. “Landon, I’m going to explode.” You pleaded.
“I know.” He answered shortly before rubbing your clit.
“Ahh, shit.” You whimpered, grinding your ass back into his rotating fingers. You felt his other hand release your panties leaving his fingers trapped inside of them as he continued pleasuring you. You heard the ripping of plastic and you mentally cursed yourself for not even thinking of a condom.
“Tell me if it gets uncomfortable.” He leaned over your back moments later, his naked chest pressing into your skin. You couldn’t barely comprehend what he said while you were lost in the pleasure. But the head of his member slipping inside of you sure woke you up.
“Landon!” You cried, muffling your voice in a pillow. He thrusted into you, not letting up on your clit. You felt yourself repeatedly clench around him and it matched up with his grunts and moans he muffled against your back. “Faster, please.” You groaned as he angled his hips in an upward motion, hitting you exactly where you needed him. He sped up at your request and feeling the sensation of his breath along your back gave your heightened senses a push.
“You close? Because, fuck I’m so close.” He asked before pressing a kiss to your skin. You angled your hips just right to rock back into him while moaning out. “I’ll take that as a “hell yes, Landon”.” You smiled and moaned once more as you clenched around him so tightly it made his thrusting pause. You felt his thighs vibrate against your ass and it was the most empowering feeling ever. “Y/N, relax for me, I can barely move.” He pulled his fingers away from your clit and moved the panties even further out of his way.
“Sorry baby.” You whispered and took a deep breath, trying to relax yourself. It was quite hard to do with a fully erect man inside of you.
“No, no, no, don’t be sorry.” He whispered and began pressing kisses everywhere on your back as you calmed down. He was able to slowly begin thrusting inside of you at a slow pace and you felt consumed by it.
“I’m there, I’m there, Landon.” You whimpered once more letting your head comfortably press into the pillows as you basked in your orgasm.
“Good, good.” He cooed before he gave you a particularly sharp thrust. You gasped out as you felt the pressure of his release against your walls. He pulled out and moved from on top of you to stand and throw away the condom. His pants hung low on his waist as he made his way back to your collapsed body. He laid next to you and moved your hair out of your face.
“You’re so pretty.” You both said at the same time. Landon raised an eyebrow and you bursted into laughter.
“You are something else, Y/N.” You scooted closer into his chest and moved his hand to rest on your bare bottom.
“You are someone else sometimes, Landon. I love it just like I love you.”

Never underestimate a black suit
Bill Hader x Reader
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
I'm not even going to pretend I regret this one. It all started in 2009 when I became obsessed with SNL, then he just kept popping up, here an there and the crush just grow, and since thanks to It chapter 2 he is finally getting the recognition he deserves I got this idea last night and I got to write it before it escapes my mind.
One shot: Imagine you are a PA in Barry and you have the biggest crush on Bill Hader but it seems like he hates you because he is dead serious all the time he is around you.
Warnings: Swearing, Age gap (I know he is just over forty but god I love him).
You were pacing on the set, the Steve Allen Theater, hoping for someone, anyone, to give you an order so you could pretend you were so good at your job as PA so they won't fired you. But the damage was done, all thanks to your verbal incontinence and now the most amazing job in the world was about to be over.
You had started working on Barry about a year ago, and you have loved every minute of it, the cast was so sweet and down to earth, and make your job so much easier, D'arcy Carden for example was always thankful with you for the simplest things like bringing her coffee and Sarah Golberg even had invited you to lunch after you helped her with a female problem one time. They were so talented and nice that you could not believe it when the production called you back for the third season to keep working there.
But then it was him, the titular character, the fucking genius whose hard work and imagination have created this magnificent show, Bill Hader. Yes you were 28 and he 42, but still you couldn't explain it, there was something about the way he spoke and the way he walked that made you weak on your knees every time, and his laugh, you were sure something had been fixed in your mind after the first time you heard him laugh.
And then it was that first week of shooting from last year, the retro outfit with the suspenders, you couldn't get your eyes off him and you almost made one of the sound guys trip with Henry Winkler. And then the table scene, you were in the back making sure the extras were in their right place and avoiding look at him because he was so perfect on that scene that you certainly will froze just by looking at him.
This little crush was obvious for absolutely everyone, except obviously for Bill, you were sure that Anthony Carrigan even deliberately asked you for anything when he was talking to Bill to see you all clumsy and awkward, not to be a dick, just to push you to talk to him, but you were certain he didn't liked you, with most of the other members of the cast and crew he was always laughing, but in the limited interactions you had he was serious, asked you for a coffee now and then or to make a phone call but just that, and you were beginning to think your absurd infatuation was making him uncomfortable, so you tone it down, made a composed face and limited to do your job.
But now you had blow it. That morning they were filming the behind the episode, for the new season, at some point Barry had one of those daydreams and he imagine himself married to Sally, so there he was all perfect in a black suit sitting in his chair next to Alec Berg talking about the challenges of the new season and how thankful they were to come back.
"So the cast is amazing, the first two episodes of the season are incredible and you have managed to keep the same novelty feeling on the series, why do you think that is?" The guy interviewing them asked.
"Well I think it's mainly thanks to the cast" Alec started "This guys are just amazing, this season we are actually giving Sally a bigger arc and that is very interesting"
"And the crew too" Bill said then "I mean they make us all look good, even when some scenes are a total disaster, the set designers, the wardrobe and all that" they made a pause and you were there to put water bottles in the table between them.
"Bill I have known that you used to be a PA, you think that gives you a better understanding on how hard it is for and aspiring actor as Barry, and does it translate on the writing?" He asked and against your better judgment you stay there to listen.
"Totally, but on a more personal level I try to no be diva with my PAs, recognize they do a hard work and know them all by name, that sort of things"
And then your verbal incontinence kick in, and there, just a few feet away, your mouth was quicker than your brain and still looking at him you spoke, not that loud to be heard by the three of them but enough for him to look straight at you.
"That's bullshit" you instinctively took your hands to your mouth and turn around before you could saw him react and went away pretending you were taking coffee orders. And here you were just waiting for the "we are gonna have to let you go" speech when one of the other PAs called you.
"Hey Y/N Hader says you have to go to his dressing room ASAP" Your friend Danny said and you felt like something heavy fall down inside your stomach.
"Can someone else go?" You answered trying to find an excuse "I have to walk Kirby's dog" you lied.
"No, he said you specifically, something about a mail he asked you to sent?" You gave him a thumbs up and start walking to his dressing room, already feeling you were fired.
"Did you need anything Mr. Hader" You tried to sound professional, and not dead ass scared.
"Oh sure, Y/N, please come in" Great! He did know your name, so apart from impertinent you were an asswhole. And he was still in that stupid black suit that made him look so gorgeous, not like the tshirts and hoodies didn't. "Do you by any chance printed those documents I asked you to send last week? I seem to have deleted them and Alec is going to freak out" He said as nice and kind as always and the weight in your stomach start lightening.
"Yeah sure, I ... well unless someone says is confidential I make copies of everything, an old habit" You said looking for a flash drive in your purse. Since all the crew sing a NDA at the beginning of the production there was nothing wrong with that, unless of course you put it on Twitter if you wanted to go to jail.
"This is not your first work on a set right?" He asked while you started looking for the documents in his laptop.
"Oh no sir. I worked in Dead to me two years ago, but since they are in a break I try my luck here last year, and HBO has better catering" You said concentrated in your work.
"Oh so you met Christina?" He asked genuinely interested, "how old were you then?"
"26, a bit late to start in this business I know, but well I like it more" You answered with a smile and then pointed to the laptop "There they are".
"Thanks so much, truly a life saver" He said and let go a sigh "And you are never too old or too young to start, as long as you enjoy it, and tolerate your bosses... bullshit was it?" He said raising an eyebrow accusatory. You immediately turn white and then red and multiple apologizes started bubbling in your mouth.
"I'm so sorry sir, I really am, I sometimes speak my mind and say all this stupid stuff, I'm sorry" You finally managed to say. He started laughing, you didn't let go the painful irony of the situation, it was the first time you made him laugh, and probably will be the last.
"I'm sorry" He said finally " I couldn't help it, relax. I'm not mad. It was quite funny what you said, I sound like such a duchebag I know everyone by name" He said making an acute voice and you start calming down "But if anything I'm sorry I made you, or any of the crew, feel like you don't matter. All of you are actually great" He said and smiled again to you. "Also lose the Mr Hader, that's bullshit, you can call me Bill".
"Oh no, I couldn't, I'm already so embarrassed by why I did" you started and he looked at you making exaggerated puppy eyes mouthing please, and it was lucky you were so nervous otherwise you would have exploded with laughter "Ok Bill"
"Ok then you are 28, and recently started as a PA, you want to be an actress?" He said, leaning back on his desk.
"Absolutely not, I wanted to be a writer, I was a writer actually in a newspaper, but it didn't feel right and then I realized I wanted to write stories, scripts, and one of my friends was an extra in Stranger things, then she said Netflix needs PAs and well there I went" You said, it was easy talk to him. "Also I don't have the looks for it and hate to se myself in pictures"
"I don't have the looks for it, and here I am" He said opening his arms "But honestly you keep writing and trying, if it's what you want, I mean I get here"
"Well yeah but have seen yourself in that suit?" Your mouth betrayed you again and you look at your feet to hide your face. "Amm I think I have a dog to walk, bye" You said before he could said anything and run away.
The next weeks were difficult, you avoid being alone with Bill but you kept doing your job as good as always, and every once in a while you will notice him looking at you, thinking on how pathetic you must look to him. Until the last day of shooting, they wrapped up the season and it was amazing. The only thing left was to go for a drink at Henry's place and start looking for a new job, thankfully you had finally written a promising draft and your hopes were high.
Maybe that's why you actually choose to drink at the party, and dance with your friends and some members of the cast, and you were a little more talkative than usual, until Anthony who was talking to you about something you were not actually listening leave you alone next to bill.
"So what's next??" He asked in the middle of the loud music, and you didn't quite got it because he signaled the garden and you followed him. "Finally I couldn't hear my thoughts" He said once you were outside.
"It's really loud, but you all deserve it" You said and suddenly realized you were alone. "What where you asking?" You tried to sound casual.
"Oh if you could get me a coffee" he joked and then quickly add "No I was wondering what's next for you after this is over?"
"I actually waiting good news from Amazon, maybe with any luck I'll get a chance with one of my scripts" You said proudly.
"That's amazing" He said with bright happy eyes "I'm so glad for you, so we won't be seeing you in season four?"
"With any luck no" You answered "You'll have to find another impertinent PA to call out your bullshit" You add laughing.
"Oh I'm pretty sure we will find someone, or I can always call you and ask you to do it for free" He said and you could notice how close he was "You know as a concerned friend"
"Sure, I can do that, my contract finalized yesterday day so I guess starting today I'm just your rude friend that says come on man don't be a duchebag" You said letting go a small laugh but he was looking at you completely serious.
"In that case..." He started and took your face between his hands, he was so tall and you felt so tiny next to him but also it was so nice and comfortable being so close, he lean in to kiss you and stop just close enough to your mouth so you will feel his breath, as if he asked for your permission to continue, and instead of saying something that could ruin the moment you close the distance and kiss him.
His lips felt soft and tender over your lips, and he slowly started deepening the kiss pressing you against him from your waist, and you hold on to the front of his jacket trying to keep him closer to you, hoping for this moment to never end, until the absurd necessity of oxygen force you to split.
"I ... I didn't think it would be appropriate to do that when we were working together" He started, smiling like a child. "I'm sorry if I made you feel like I was avoiding you, Anthony messing up with me by having you around all the time didn't help either"
"Don't worry it's okay, and yeah it would have been super inappropriate but thank god I no longer have a job" you said still trying to make sense of the situation.
"Would you... I mean I love Henry but there's only alcohol in here, do you want to go grab some dinner?" He said pointing the exit.
"I would love that" you answered, overwhelmed by joy and you followed him to the door, happy with all the possibilities the future hold.

What do you think about some people saying that SNK is anti-semitic? I don’t get it, since our heroes are Jewish-coded and the Nazi-coded people aren’t painted in a sympathetic light at all. That the Jewish-coded people can turn into titans, I don’t find it problematic at all. At its core, titanism is neutral, it can be (and has been) used for both progress and destruction. It’s realistic since people have the ability to oppress and can be oppressed under different circumstances.
Is this in response to that disgraceful Polygon article? I responded on twitter here, and my friend Raff added a bit. 
Well, so, I can answer this in a few ways. Firstly, unless you’re Jewish, I don’t think we get to decide what is problematic and what isn’t for Jewish people. I can understand why some Jewish people find it offensive (and why many don’t), and I’ve said before that I dislike the armband analogy, it makes me cringe, and think the story would have been better off not including it. It is only Eldians who can turn into them; however, the story portrays them as humans who have this inflicted upon them. 
That said, I personally think the allusions to the Holocaust aren’t a good idea; however, I also understand that Isayama comes from a different cultural context where he might not be as familiar with the sensitivity around it. Is that an excuse? No, but it is understandable. Every single work ever is problematic in some way. 
But is Isayama’s intent fascist or malicious? No. The work condemns fascism in every single way; it just also takes time to show the audience how people we love can get there while still condemning their choices. This is something I think is yikes about the woke movement: the idea that we shouldn’t ever try to think about how someone could get there. Nuance is key, of course, but showing us Eren’s tragic fall is actually well-handled, imo, because he’s also showing the victims of Eren’s tragic fall and concentrating on their feelings too (more so currently, actually). 
Also, I know people drag a quote from Isayama from 2013 praising a Japanese general who committed war crimes and I agree that’s upsetting and people don’t have to forgive, but also keep in mind, again, that it’s been 6 years and I’d hope he’s grown, and also half the people you were taught about in school as patriotic heroes are also war criminals (Andrew Jackson anyone?) Thanks. 
The inherent problem is, however, not unique to SnK, and people criticizing it really need to rethink their entertainment. It’s the X-Men fallacy. I’ve written about it a few times (see here and here). Basically it’s the argument that coding people as oppressed because of people being afraid that special powers make them dangerous is inherently flawed because... usually in X-Men movies/comics the bad guys are super powerful and ready to snuff out life? (Side note: Xmen was created by Jack Kirby, a Jewish American man who served in Europe for the US during WWII.)
For further reading, I also addressed this question here, as did @midnight-in-town​ here. 
And one last thing: it’s really really icky to me that a LOT of the people I see calling it propaganda and/or fascist are white men, like the Polygon writer (though I do not know whether he is Jewish), and/or haven’t read the manga (again don’t know about the writer but if he read it thinking that the story is endorsing the Jaegerists as he implies I--wow [the framing is always negative around them they’re imprisoning our heroes]) and so interpret everything on a surface level. There is something uncomfortably “performance woke” about a white man seeking to culturally malign if not cancel a man of color’s work, especially when the man of color probably can’t respond due to a language barrier.

Day 3: Lost – Nyo!Ameripan
Just a highschool AU  :)
Read on AO3
“Sakura! You gotta help me! I’m lost as fuuuuuuck…..” Amelia, the new American exchange student, said as she made a beeline for the short Japanese girl. She had met Sakura when she first arrived at school and would occasionally bug her whenever their paths crossed.
Sakura’s face flushed at the attention it drew. She always hated the spotlight on her and it was just doubly cast on her whenever the tall American girl was around.
“Where the hell is Room 3A?” Amelia asked loudly. If everyone wasn’t looking at them before, they were certainly now.
Sakura lamented the fact that Amelia had such a foul mouth. Who had taught her such things?? Her Japanese was good, all things considered, but did she have to sprinkle in swear words in every sentence? “You’re in the 2nd Year’s building, which is why you’re lost.” She said quietly, wanting to melt into the floor as Amelia leaned over her desk.
It was no wonder so many people were staring. Amelia was gorgeous. Even in a rush, with her hair a mess, she looked amazing. She looked like the models that Sakura would see on TV except she was, well, real. So of course all the guys were staring at her—specifically her long legs. Seriously, Amelia didn’t even roll up her skirt all that much but it looked short on her because of stupidly long legs. Not to mention it was toned. Sakura knew this because they shred gym period together. She felt like a pervert for even glancing at Amelia at the corner of her eyes when they were in the changing rooms.
“Then where’s 3A? In the 3rd Year’s building?” Amelia asked as she scrunched her nose in concentration. How cute, Sakura thought despairingly. She hadn’t quite come to terms with her sexuality and Amelia was not helping. Being a lesbian had not been in her plans of living a structured life and a certain pretty American girl had to make things decidedly more confusing by being perfectly unperfect. If that even made sense.
“Yes, it’s in the 3rd Year’s building. Did you ask for directions?” It shouldn’t have been that difficult to find. The school’s layout was relatively straight forward.
“Yeah, I asked these girls and they pointed this way.” Amelia said as she rubbed her chin. “Did I hear them wrong?”
Sakura knitted her brows. Did someone purposely give Amelia the wrong direction? “Would you like me to take you there?” She probably wouldn’t have much time to eat her lunch but it wouldn’t hurt to help her crush friend.
“That would be great!” Amelia said, shooting her a blinding grin. How were her teeth so perfect? “I don’t wanna get lost again. I’m supposed to drop these papers off to another student. I don’t know why the teacher even trusted me.”
“Maybe because you’re trustworthy.” Sakura said seriously. That came out a lot more earnest then she intended. She needed to be careful so her feelings weren’t obvious.
“You’re right, I am pretty awesome!” Amelia said as she bumped shoulders with the other girl. Sakura flushed at the contact. It was literally nothing but it still made her heart beat a little faster. “You’re, like, my only friend here.”
“Am I?” She asked confused. Sakura thought Amelia’s outgoing personality would’ve made her quite popular.
“Eh, I don’t know. I don’t get the right vibes from the others, you know?”
Sakura was still stuck on the fact that Amelia knew the Japanese word for ‘vibes.’
“And I do?” She asked curiously
“Hell yeah you do!” Amelia said, giving her that perfect smile. Was it just her or did all Americans have pearly-white teeth?
Sakura smiled back softly. “Well thank you, Amelia.” Her heart kept beating fast.
Amelia turned to regard the students that would look their way as they walked by. They would be subtle with their staring but staring was still staring. “I really stand out, huh?”
“Well….yes.” Sakura said uncomfortably. She initially thought Amelia didn’t mind the attention but what if she did? “We don’t have many transfer students so….”
Amelia hummed. “Yeah but that Matthew guy doesn’t stand out at all and he’s a transfer student.”
“You’re….really pretty?” Sakura said, flushing slightly. Was she obvious? She hoped not….
“Was that a question or a statement?” Amelia asked wryly before glancing around. “Matthew is pretty good lucking, though. You’d think he’d get more attention….”
Sakura felt a flash of fear go through her. Did Amelia like Matthew like that? She knew it was unreasonable to hope for anything more but still….God, this is why she hated crushes….
“But he does barely stand out. And I am pretty good-looking, huh?” Amelia said turning to look at Sakura
“Y-yes.” She squeaked out and immediately blushed.  Amelia’s smile softened and her heart beat sped up again.
“So are doing anything this weekend? I really wanna go to the Kirby Café but I don’t wanna get lost again. I want to Akihabara and I got totally lost and some policeman had to help me back. It was really embarrassing.”
“Kirby Café? You like Kirby too?” Sakura said excitedly.
“Um, do I like him? I fucking love him!” Amelia exclaimed. “Did you get the recent game?”
Sakura bit her lips. “No I haven’t had the chance to….”
“Well, I have the game so we should play it when we meet up. “ Amelia said with a wink
Sakura just stared before looking away. She always thought people winking were stupid and over-the-top but Amelia just made her blush more. “I have Super Smash Bros. We can play that too.”
“It’s a deal!” Amelia cheered. “Oh hey, we’re here! Alright, later Sakura.”
Amelia said as she turned to walk into the classroom. Sakura caught her sleeve. “Um, I can wait for you.” She said not looking at the blonde girl
“Alright.” Amelia said with the same soft as before. Sakura was sure she was going to develop a heart condition at this rate. “Hold on for a bit, yeah?”
“Of course.” Sakura said softly, watching her run in the room.
