-->So -- after having some of their Winterfest spirit literally go up in smoke, it's no wonder that the trio wanted to go chill out -- somewhat literally. Victor retreated into his greenhouse to do the daily harvest, while Smiler made sure the chickens were well-fed and Alice did a little snow-shoveling to build up the old muscles. I'd just had them drop and make a couple of snow angels to try and recapture the fun they'd been having before the tree fire --
-->When who should I spot inside but one Clement Frost, adding presents to the present pile! I sent Smiler to go say hi to him and tell him about their weirdass day (though they ended up having to chase him to the foot of the front porch stairs, as for some reason he decided to hang out there molding some clay) while Alice joined Victor in the greenhouse, chatting with a gnome while Victor finished off his harvest. And then getting a lovely mistletoe kiss from him, as we can't do one couple and not the other! :) No matter what else happened today, at least everyone in the trio got their seasonally-appropriate smooches!
-->And then it was time to start asking Clement Frost for gifts! ...a process that took far longer than it should have, because the FIRST time Alice and Victor asked for their gifts, while the tradition completed, the interaction did not. I'm not ENTIRELY sure what broke it, but I think it had something to do with Alice and Victor standing at the TOP of the stairs to the porch when they asked, with Clement standing at the BOTTOM of the stairs and refusing to move at all. All I know is that Smiler, standing next to them, got theirs right away, while it took me trying to get everyone to go to the present pile to prompt Alice and Victor to receive theirs -- which only happened when Clement actually got up on the porch. *shakehead* This game, sometimes...but everyone DID get a gift from Clement in the end! And what did they receive?
...Smiler got ANOTHER big-ass karaoke machine; Alice got the giant microscope; and Victor got a fancy fridge that was not as good as the one they currently own. *facepalm* Clement, Smiler only needs ONE karaoke machine, Alice has no room for a giant microscope, and we already have all the fridges we could ever need, both at the store and the house. I guess we can safely say that Clement does NOT check HIS list twice! At least, not when it comes to figuring out what people already have or not.
-->Okay, well, that didn't go great -- surely the trio would get better presents from the present pile? I had them all gather around said pile (which took a couple of tries, as poor Victor was exhausted and Alice kept trying to wander off to play with clay) and open some presents. Smiler got a bowl of fruit (another thing we already have in the kitchen); Alice received some alcineat (either a new metal or mineral, I'm not sure -- at least it's not something she had before!); and Victor --
Uh. No clue. He had a disappointed face after opening the present, and no pop-up ever came up for him that I could see. As far as I could tell, the poor guy got an empty box. :( This Winterfest had gone pretty much completely from "awesome" to "awful."
-->However, I was determined to go out on SOMETHING of a high note, so Smiler and Victor got some heartfelt smooches and Alice and Victor some loving cuddles before the holiday was through. Because I WAS going to get my Valicer cuteness, damn it. Victor and Alice then slumped off to bed as Clement Frost took his leave, and I left it with Smiler transferring the Sim Scuffle LP they'd recorded earlier off the drone and into their media production station so it could be edited. Because when in doubt, work on SimsTube. :p
And that's it! Join me next time when, despite MULTIPLE blizzards and other sundry problems, WE FINALLY OPEN THE FUCKING GROCERY STORE. See you then!

hiii, could you please do mk1 earthrealmers reaction to them trying to put music during spicy time but their s/o keeps getting distracted the whole time by singing/dancing along to every song that they choose, i just thought it could be a funny situation 😅😅
author note: I had to change the prompt a bit because it would have been a bit repetitive. If it's a problem feel free to request again. If you like what I write consider tipping on my new ko-fi!
Johnny Cage: -He prepared a romantic night to the best of his capabilities. Red petals on your bed, dim candlelights to illuminate the room, and a soft and sexy song playing in the background. -But something went wrong when all of sudden, between groans and heavy breaths "Poker face" started to play. -It doesn't stop Johnny from kissing down your neck, lips never leaving your skin. Your head isn't on the same wavelength tho. -You start to hum the song, but Johnny notices just when his lips caress your chest, feeling the vibrations underneath. -"Are you…singing along?" "Maybe? C'mon Johnny, it's impossible not to!" -He smiles, the kind that reaches his eyes and shakes his head before pulling you into his covered lap. Deft fingers working to free himself. -"Are you still in?" "Mh? Yes." You nod, your soft hands on his cheeks. "Perfect sweetheart. Keep singing to your heart's content, let's see how long it will take me to make you reach the highest notes."
Kenshi Takahashi:
-It was your idea to put music on, to try something new.
-Soon you forget about it, Kenshi reducing you to a puddle under his expert hands.
-You are so out of your mind that you don’t notice the songs going from slow and sexy to rhythmic and perfect for dancing.
-But then you notice something is off. His fingers, now in you move…strangely? Kenshi has always been a tease, but trying to avoid your sweet spot for so long it’s becoming tears-inducing, and not the pleasure kind.
-So you start to focus your attention on the movements of his fingers when finally realization hits you.
”Are you trying to keep the rhythm of the song, Kenshi?”
He looks at you, black eyes now full of shame, lips sucked in before nodding.
-He stops moving and a chuckle leaves your lips. You take the back of his head to bring him closer and kiss him.
“Nice sense of the rhythm. Next time I’ll make sure to choose the right songs.”
“I’ll help you with that.”
Kung Lao:
-It’s not the first time you put music on; the walls of his house are pretty thin.
-But usually, you use Lao’s playlist since he can be pretty picky with music.
-But this time he asked to listen to one of yours, curious to discover new songs.
-It’s all going like usual, ‘till you hear Lao humming. Your favorite song is also playing.
“So…you like this song too?”
“Damn, it’s so catchy!”
-You end up karaoke just in your undergarments with Lao.
-Don’t worry, you’ll get back to lovemaking later. After all, everything is more enjoyable if done with a smile.
Raiden:
-You were the one that asked him if you could try to listen to music while doing “it” and Raiden accepted with no problem.
-You made a new playlist trying to add songs Raiden could enjoy.
-Everything goes smoothly, you sit on his lap your tongue dancing with his, while Raiden’s hands travel down your body, caressing and groping.
-Until a song starts, and his movements stop. He is still kissing you, so you don’t notice something is wrong.
-“I’m sorry, I can’t do this.” Raiden pulls you off, annoyance dripping from his face.
“Mh? What is wrong, Rai?”
-“The song that is playing now…we used to sing it with Lao and Fujin when we were kids. It really broke my mood remembering their faces.” He groans out. The face of his best friend the last thing he'd like to remember in these kind of moments.
“You sang such a sexual song when you were kids?”
“You also sang sexual stuff without knowing the real meaning behind the words, right?”
You tilt your head before answering “Well, you have a point.”
-You don’t do any stuff that day, but you decided that it will be Raiden to make the playlist next time.
Liu Kang:
-You know he likes listening to music in his free time, so you think he may enjoy your proposal.
-And he does! Nodding at you with a big smile, a joy that reaches his eyes.
-Mostly because he thinks too that it could be really hot.
-Everything is going as planned, his hot mouth biting your throat while his hands travel from your hips to your back. Until a song starts to play and a sigh, not one born from pleasure, leaves his lips.
-Liu Kang has to sit on the bed. Now sobbing uncontrollably. That song is the one he used to sing with his Kung Lao when they were just kids. When Lao and Raiden became his family.
-You have never seen Liu crying so you worry immediately, asking him what happened, your soft arms hugging his back, trying to calm him down.
-There will be a lot to unpack…
Geras:
-He doesn’t know mortal traditions so he doesn’t mind if you put music.
-And he also doesn’t mind when you start to sing and dance around! But you’ll have to explain to him it’s not some kind of dance to attract the potential partner.
-“Unless…”
“What?”
“Do you find me hot while dancing? Even when I sing so terribly?” You whisper out, your arms around his neck, heads a few inches apart.
“I always find you hot.”
-There is a moment of silence where you’ll look straight into his eyes.
“Come here.”
-Music is soon forgotten in the background.
Bi-Han:
-He is playing his transverse flute when you approach him.
-You reached the level of comfort where Bi-Han feels at ease playing in front of you, and you love it; he really has talent.
-But you decide to spice things up this time.
-You approach him, sliding kisses down his neck while he is still playing the flute, deft fingers opening his uniform, now dropping to the ground.
-“What do you think you’re doing?” He stops, voice rough, but with no bite.
“Just having fun. Keep playing, Grandmaster.” You wink at him, not moving until he starts playing the instrument again.
-And he does, never missing a note even with your warm mouth reaching more arousing parts of his physique. It’s when you drop to your knees that he stops again, his hand now in your hair, pushing you away from his crotch.
-“Now listen to me-“
You tsk, brushing his hand away, confidence dripping from your eyes.
“A snake obeys his charmer only when he plays his flute. Keep doing that Bi-Han.”
-He gulps down loudly. You know that a harsh comeback just died in his throat. He nods at you, his lips back on the instrument.
-Maybe you were the real charmer this time.
Kuai Liang:
-He has to admit that he gets annoyed by your change of mood.
-Liang loves to hear your sounds, so putting music in the background isn’t really his thing but he also thought “Why not try?” It’s not like it was a big no-no for him.
-But now it is. For Liang intimacy is a serious moment and even if he may sneak some jokes once in a while he prefers to keep a more serious atmosphere.
-He gets grumpy so it will take a lot of effort to put a smile on his face. For sure lovemaking is delayed.
-With enough convincing Liang may dance along with you, but don’t force him to sing or he will go back to grumpy.
Tomas Vrbada:
-He smiles when he notices you humming the song, but soon follows you.
-Tomas won’t dance with you, preferring to look at you from his comfortable position on the bed.
-But he will sing! His singing voice is terrible but it’s the feeling that matters.
-At some point, Tomas will get closer to sneak kisses here and there.
-After all, you are dancing just in undergarments; it’s a wonderful sight that makes his blood run awfully quick away from his brain.
-Lovemaking is not delayed, he will pull you toward the bed with him. Just the mood changed, a lot of smiles and playful kisses shared.

BoJere week, day 3: Confession/realizing they're in love.
This definitely happened during the Nordic Tour. 👀 Something shifted the night after Tavastia 2.0 (the start of the famous laundry saga) and nothing can change my mind. Bojan was acting like a love sick puppy afterwards. 🫠
"We are brothers... And maybe something more." - Jere at Tavastia, 20.09.23
A short fic under the cut. 🤭
Say It Again
The laughter was filling the air when they stumbled across the door into Jere's apartment. They'd had an amazing gig at Tavastia and afterwards they had decided to party all night long. It was the reunion they'd been looking forward for three months already after all.
Jere tripped on a chair and fell on the floor, some Finnish curse words coming out from his mouth. He had definitely been drinking too much and was now suffering from the consequences.
"Come on, you can't just lay there!"
Bojan grabbed Jere's hand and tried to lift him up. But he was pretty wasted too so it was easier said than done. Instead of getting Jere up he fell down himself as well, landing right in top of him.
Bojan's breath was getting shallow when he stared Jere straight in the eyes. Chest against chest felt nice. A little bit too nice. Encouraged by the alcohol and Jere's hand draped behind his back he pressed his nose against Jere's, their lips almost touching.
Bojan couldn't wait a moment longer. He kissed Jere with an enthusiam, getting an eager respond in return. He moved his lips onto Jere's neck, right below his earlobe.
"Ljubim te."
Almost silent confession escaped from Bojan's lips. It surprised even the man himself and he rolled his body off from Jere, sitting on a floor, puzzled about what had just happened.
---
They spent the rest of the tour like nothing was going on, having the times of their lives. But something had shifted inside Bojan. He was absolutely beaming. He couldn't get enough of Jere's company. There were constant touches and looks which made even his band mates suspicious.
After the final gig in Tampere they celebrated the successful tour by going into the sauna and a karaoke bar afterwards.
They were having meaningful conversations about their lives and careers but Bojan left one thing out. It wasn't the time or place to bring up the kiss and the sudden love confession.
But the time for that came later when they ended up in Bojan's hotel room, just the two of them. They were tipsy and bubbly but not as much as the first night.
Bojan guided Jere sitting on the edge of the bed with him. Jere was waiting with a questioning look on his face, noticing something was bothering Bojan.
"So... How much do you remember about the first night, after Tavastia? In your apartment."
He started nervously, biting his lip. Jere scooted closer to him, placing his hand over Bojan's cheek.
"Well, I remember you were on top of me. And I'm pretty sure we were doing this."
Jere closed the gap between them and started kissing him, smiling a little at the same time. Bojan pulled back for a moment because he still had something to ask.
"Do you remember what I said to you?"
His gaze was full of nervousness.
"I think it was something in Slovenian. I didn't understand."
Bojan cupped Jere's face with his hands.
"I said 'ljubim te'. Do you know what it means?"
"Not really. But I think I can guess."
He grabbed Bojan's palm and gave it a couple of small kisses.
"Can you?"
"Yes. And I love you too."
Bojan was about to melt in the spot. He couldn't believe what he was hearing.
"Say it again, please."
"I love you. Rakastan sua."
Jere sealed his confession with a soft kiss. Bojan felt like he was in heaven.

Summer of Like // Farleigh Start x OC (18)
My fatal flaw is that I can’t say no to Venetia. I’ve known since I met her, when I moved into our suite at Cambridge, that I wasn’t going to be able to say no to her - not when she’s as pretty as she is and as pitiful. Which is how I find myself singing karaoke in the library with Venetia.
I didn’t know the words to Head Over Heels by Tears for Fears before Venetia pulled me out of my seat. I doubt that I’ll remember anything I’ve sung after we finish given how much wine I had at dinner. But it makes her smile, and everyone scattered on the couches around the rooms claps when we’re done. 
I hand off my microphone to another of the Henrys, and flop down on the couch, next to Felix. Venetia perches between our laps, one leg over mine, one leg over her brothers - her right arm around Felix’s shoulders, her left hand laid on my thigh. I wrap my free arm around her waist, and tuck my head into the junction between her neck and her shoulder, watching as the Henry who took the microphone from me starts to swagger as Flo Rida’s Low starts playing. 
“Oh god.” Venetia laughs as an exasperated sigh leaves Felix. 
It’s very evident right from the start that he’s not very good. It’s made even worse by the way his British accent tries to mimic Flo Rida’s tone. I huff out a laugh as he shrugs off his jacket, tossing it to a woman that I presume is how wife. 
Felix is the first one to call it quits. “Alright, fuck this. I'm getting a drink.”
“Me too.” Venetia says, rising from her spot in Felix and I’s laps. “Coming Evie?”
I stand up with them, fixing the straps of my borrowed dress. “‘Course.”
I follow them back into the dining room, leaving the library behind us, letting the noise of the karaoke fade into the background. In the dining room, the plates and silverware have been cleared away, but the bar is still set up to the side of the room. 
Felix gets there first, pulling three glasses over from the side. “What do you drink, Evie?”
“Depends.” I say. “What are the options?”
“Anything you want.” He says, pouring himself some whiskey that looks like it costs five times my rent in New York. He starts on Venetia’s drink, pouring gin, vermouth and bitter campari into the same glass, and swirling it all around a few times before handing it to her. 
“Some tequila would be good.” I say. 
Felix grabs a bottle and pours me a healthy helping, and drops a lime wedge into the drink for good measure. “Alright?” He asks, handing the glass to me. 
“Yeah, thanks.” I say, taking a small sip. The tequila burns, just a little, the impact softened by the wine that’s already in my system.
Venetia grins as she sips her own drink. “Nobody makes a negroni like you, Fi.”
Felix scoffs, and downs his glass of whiskey like it’s a shot before pouring himself another. “I’m sure you’ve had better negronis than that.”
“I didn’t say it was good.” Venetia says. “Just that nobody makes them like you.”
“Shove off.” Felix says, but there’s no bite in it. 
Glasses in hand, we wander back to the library. The song changes abruptly as we slip back into the room, as I spot Farleigh at the karaoke machine, sorting through the selection, microphone in hand.
“Okay, well done Henry, that was great. Round of applause for Henry…” He grins as he finds the song he wants, and stands back up to his full height. “Okay now it’s time to take things up a notch. We have someone here who is a very talented singer.”
The intro to Rent, by the Pet Shop Boys begins to play. I turn to Venetia, already knowing what he’s going to do before he does it, but she’s only smiling, not recognizing the song.
Farleigh turns towards Oliver, that wry smile on his face. “He’s your best friend and mine: Oliver Quick!”
“No, no, no…!” Oliver protests as Farleigh grabs his hand.
Farleigh only smiles as he pries Oliver out of his seat and presses the microphone into his hand. “Yes, yes, yes… don’t be shy!”
Oliver stumbles forward, pushed by Farleigh, wide-eyed. “I don’t even know this song!”
From the couch, James claps his hands. “The words are on the screen, Oliver! That's the best bit! That's the best bit!”
The first verse of the song starts, and Oliver starts to sing, a little off the melody, but smiling anyway. Farleigh sidles up to me, a playful smile on his face. “What’re you drinking?”
“Tequila.” I say, holding my glass out to him. 
He takes it, and swigs some into his mouth before handing it back to me. 
I keep eye contact as I take a sip, sure to place my lips right over where his just were. “You’re cruel, you know. Making him sing this song.” 
His grin widens. “You know this song?”
“Yeah.” I say. “My mom loves the Pet Shop Boys. She’s always playing them around the house. Says they remind her of the ‘good ‘ol days’ before she had kids.”
“Harsh.” Farleigh laughs. 
“Either way, it’s mean.” I say. 
“Shhh, he hasn’t realized yet.” He says, fishing a cigarette out of his pocket and lighting it with glee as he watches Oliver stumble along to the music. I watch as Elspeth realizes exactly what song is playing, casting a look at James. The cheering only gets quieter as more and more of the crowd realize where this is going. 
The music swells into the chorus, and the lyrics change on the screen. I watch Oliver’s face shift as he reads the words, and the joke dawns on him all at once. He falters only for a moment before he finishes it off. 
“I love you, you pay my rent.”
Full of malicious glee, Farleigh whoops. “Whoo! You tell ‘em!”
“Farleigh.” Felix’s voice is low. I glance over to him to see a glower on his face, not unlike his expression at the breakfast table the night after Venetia’s moonlit escapade. 
“What?” Farleigh mocks innocence. 
Whatever Felix is about to say is cut off by Oliver. “This is your song as well Farleigh, come finish it.” His tone is friendly, but his stare is anything but. A shiver runs up my spine just looking at him. 
Still, Farleigh grins. “Only if you insist.” He tucks his cigarette between my lips before dashing away, taking the mic from Oliver. He doesn’t have to look at the screen to know the words, and he leans into the performance, dancing and spinning the wire of the microphone as he croons. 
I puff on his cigarette as he looks over to me and winks.

“So, are you still gonna go?”
“...Maybe.”
“You see all of your best friends together again after six years and you wanna back out now?” 
“You know why I’m still-”
“Yeah, yeah.” The voice on the other end of the phone sighed, “...Just letting you know, Collei’s coming too. Amber’s super excited - don’t you wanna see them all again?”
You sighed, debating whether or not to attend your high school reunion. Right? It felt like a simple yes or no question. Wrong. Yes, you were eager to see your friends again. Yes, you want to see if they were still how you remembered them. But, you weren't sure if you wanted to reunite with... certain faces. You flattened the invitation letter with another heavy sigh, reading it for the nth time.
MONDSTADT CENTRAL HIGH REUNION “We cordially invite you to our long-awaited reunion, hosted by our former student council members Jean Gunnhildr, Lisa Minci, Eula Lawrence, Diluc Ragnvindr, and Albedo Kreideprinz. Join us for drinks, music, and food! Events featured: TCG tournaments, karaoke, time capsule re-opening, photoshoots, (free) food, (not free) drinks, and more! On Saturday, September 22nd, 5 p.m. Located at Dawn Winery. ”
You weren’t too far from the old manor, it was only about a 25-minute drive from where you now lived. You had missed the atmosphere there back when you were still in high school. After school hang outs with all your friends, laughing and talking without a care in the world. But that was precisely what you were afraid of. Could you all still laugh and talk the same way you did before? How much did they change, or did they change at all?
With your thumb lightly tapping against the paper, you set it down and picked up your phone again.
“Mona, of course, I’m excited to see everybody again. Hell, if anything, I’m the one who’s most eager to see them all. But you’ve gotta understand,” you continued, “I have literally not talked to any of them for half a decade.”
Silence was met on the other end of the call before laughter burst in your eardrums, small snorts and giggles ringing in your ears. “Really now (y/n)? I had no idea.” She stopped laughing, letting out another exasperated sigh, “Why do you think I called you then? This is a perfect opportunity to talk to everyone again, and if you haven’t noticed, you can’t always talk to me about whatever it is you want to rant about that day.”
Mona was right, you had gotten too used to using her as your personal therapist. She’s been there for you ever since you could remember, well, technically ever since your freshman year of high school. You groaned, embarrassment flooding your senses. It was true, you’ve barely had any contact with your high school friends after getting accepted into college., and ever since that had happened. You winced internally, suddenly feeling a wave of pity for your poor friend. It wasn’t entirely your fault you were so caught up with college, you had to figure out your future right? 
It’s not exactly an excuse for as to cutting almost everybody off though… a little voice whispered in your head, you’ve figured it was your guilty conscious, judging you for absolutely every little thing you’ve done and have been doing thus far.
To put it simply - it was driving you nuts.
“Okay Mona, you have a point. But, that doesn’t mean it’s decided i’m going to go.” You heard a huff, “Hey, don’t get mad at me now. I just… need time to think it over.”
“Alright, alright.”
“Thank you, for being so ever understanding.” You could’ve sworn you heard a ‘whatever’, but shrugged it off. “Anyways, I’ve gotta go to the store to restock my fridge, after somebody ransacked for all it was worth.”
“It was one time! Wouldn’t you be so kind as to help a poor astrologer, not to mention best friend, with trifling matters such as a bit of nourishment?”
“Save your excuses, Megistus. Talk to you later, okay?” The mentioned bid farewell and ended the call. Now, was the matter of going out. You had been living alone comfortably for the past year, with the occasional water leaks here and there. Your place wasn’t too shabby, it was close to your ideal living quarters. Ever since college and living with a roommate for four years, keeping up with your kitchen stock has been somewhat of a challenge. It wasn’t like you were broke, you had a financially stable career and lifestyle, you just… happened to get carried away after a while.
Getting up and changing into somewhat acceptable attire to go to the nearest grocery market, you took your keys and left your apartment. Upon exiting, a breeze of autumn air flooded your senses, the sky above painted with a fresh blue. Glancing to your left, you see a stack of very large boxes outside of your neighbor’s door. I’m guessing they’re redecorating? You thought, pushing past the stack. 
Your neighbors had moved in about 6 months ago, a pair of twins and their younger sister. You’d talked to the older sister before, even inviting her into your apartment. She was nice, you two have shared similar experiences throughout college. Although the brother was more reserved, occasionally gave you a good morning here and there. As for their younger sister, she was a ball of energy.
Strangely enough, however, was the fact that you would barely see them. The sister had stated that they “have an affinity for traveling” or something along those lines. They were incredibly busy, meeting new people here and there. Something I should pick up, you dully noted.
Getting into your car, you made your way to the nearest grocery store. Okay, so we need eggs, milk, yogurt, fruits, ramen, and whatever else catches my attention. You listed in your mind, although you knew you would forget half of what was on that list. It was a good thing, to get back to getting your life back together. God knows what you went through in college. You inhaled sharply at the flashback, wanting to forget everything that happened throughout high school and college. Shaking off the memories, you had finally reached the market.
You looked up at the sign saying “Mondstadt General Goods”, noting your one objective. Get in, get the groceries, and get out. Shouldn’t be too hard, right?
_________________________________________________
“Come on Klee, Alice trusted me to keep you in line this weekend, Sevens I have so much to prepare for.” An exasperated voice half-heartedly shouts, pushing a shopping cart.
“Coming Miss Jean!” another bubbly and child-like voice exclaims back, running towards the voice. 
Jean has had a demanding week. Being the head of the leading police department in Mondstadt and dealing with a much too energetic child all weekend can lead you to exhaustion, apparently. And preparing for a high school reunion in a week can only add to that list.
“Jean, relax a little. We’re on an errand, not one of your military camp training sessions.” Remarked a brunette woman, walking alongside Jean. This was Lisa, Jean’s best friend as one would say. She was almost the complete opposite of Jean, leisurely going on about life. She worked at the library next to Jean's department, occasionally bringing coffee in between her shifts. 
“For the last time Lisa, it’s not the military. There’s a clear distinction between-”
“Yes ma’am, so I’ve heard,” teased Lisa, picking up a few items for their cart before squeezing her shoulders. “All I’m saying is to loosen up a little. You’re not Chief Gunnhildr right now, you’re just Jean. And don’t worry, everyone’s contributing to the reunion, you’re not alone.”
Jean smiled weakly at Lisa, before pushing through the aisles again. She tended to get caught up in work, she knew that much. She was embarrassed to say she needed Lisa to keep her grounded. However, that was one of the things she loved about her friend of many years - the way she knew exactly what she needed at any given point in time.
“Hey, about the reunion, did you send out the invitation letters?”
“Of course I did, who do you take me for? I still think text messages or emails would’ve probably been received much better though.”
“Of course you do. Any updates from Diluc or Albedo?”
“Diluc said the manor was free for the weekend, even said we could stay the night there. Albedo checked on the time capsules, said they were still there. And, don’t worry, I doubt he would open any of them.” Recounted Lisa, pulling random items from the snack section.
“Wouldn’t doubt him for the world. Klee, what do you want? You can have any snack as a treat.” Called Jean, craning her neck to look for the short child. “Where’d she go?” 
Stepping out of the aisle, Jean’s eyes darted around everywhere. Where did the kid go? She wouldn’t hear the end of this from Alice if she found out her kid escaped her usually watchful gaze. Sevens, she didn’t even want to imagine how many times it would be brought up in one of their coffee sessions.
“Jean, I’m pretty sure we have everything we need. All we need to do is find- oh wait. There she is.” Said Lisa from behind Jean, pointing in front of them.
There she is, thought Jean as she made her way to Klee, already imagining the ear-full she was gonna give the blonde girl. She was running up and down the aisles, before pausing, as if something had caught her attention. “Klee- what did I tell you about going on alone without us? You could get seriously hurt-”
The little girl paid no mind to Jean, giggling and running to her next target. Letting out yet another exasperated sigh, Jean followed. “Young lady, I’m not finished talking to you, stop-” Jean paused, looking at the person who had caught Klee’s attention. (H/l) (H/c) hair, (e/c) eyes, and (s/c) skin- wait, was that..?
“Miss (y/n)!”
__________________________________________
“Miss (y/n)!”
You turned around, only to be pounced on by something- or rather, someone.
“Klee?”
A short girl with blonde hair remained wrapped around your torso, squeezing you with all her might. “Miss (y/n)! Klee hasn’t seen you in soooo long! You missed so many of my adventures!”
You couldn’t help but stare at the small girl in front of you, your hands awkwardly placed in the air. “Uh- yeah, sorry about that Klee. I’ve been super busy, I’m so sorry for missing so many of our play dates, I missed you.”
It was true, you missed the much-too-energetic girl. You would always have small little playdates and adventures back when you were in high school. Although you were a bit too exhausted to run around some days, you would indulge in her antics more than half the time.
“It’s okay, (y/n)! Klee forgives you! You have to promise to play with Klee next time, okay?” 
“Of course Klee. Who’s with you right now? Albedo? Alice?” You had to make a quick getaway, you don’t know if you could afford to embarrass yourself in front of any of them after no contact efforts in 4 years.
“No. Only miss Jean and miss Lisa.”
And as if right on time, the two mentioned women appeared behind Klee, surprise adorning both their faces. The two hadn’t changed much after high school, although the bags around Jean’s eyes seemed to have gotten worse. And Lisa was still Lisa after all, the same wistful smile still on her face. 
“(Y/n)!” Lisa approached you, putting a hand on your shoulder. “My, my, it’s been so long. How’ve you been? We’ve barely heard from you since graduation you know.”
“Oh, wow, uhm, yeah. I guess it has been a while-”
“Too long in fact, what happened? Are you still with-”
“That's enough Lisa, give her some time to breathe.” Then came your savior, Jean, to your rescue. You watched as Jean chastised Lisa for her straightforward behavior, awkwardly standing there with a child wrapped around you.
“But Lisa has a point, (y/n). It’s been so long, how have you been holding up?” Questioned Jean, both their gazes on you now.
“I’ve been doing well, just you know, keeping busy with life.” 
You nearly face-palmed yourself after that excuse of a lie.
“Oh yeah, that reminds me, have you gotten the invitation letter to the reunion? It’s next Saturday. We’re hoping that most if not everybody shows up.” Jean had a glint in her eyes when talking about the reunion. You guessed she’d been eager for it as well.
“Yeah. I was talking to Mona about it over the phone.” You mentioned matter-of-factly. “But… I’m not sure if I’ll be uh… free… that day.” You knew very well that you would most likely be at home, doing nothing and watching TV. Maybe you’d make an effort to deep clean your apartment if it was a good day. Maybe.
Lisa frowned as her grip on you softened, “Surely you can’t be that busy? I’ve missed seeing your face around, darling.” She sighs and lets go of your shoulder with a pat. “I understand though. Let us know if you change your mind though, okay? Maybe we can meet up on a day when we’re all free.”
Jean nodded, sympathy in her eyes. “Agreed. Call us if you ever need any help as well, (y/n).”
You cursed yourself as you saw the two women shrink slightly in disappointment. You couldn’t afford to let them down. Not when you’ve just met again after so many years. As your stomach twisted and turned with uncertainty, you gave them a not-so-final answer.
“I’ll… I’ll see if I can clear my schedule. You guys were right, it has been a while.” You gave them a half smile, Klee looking back and forth between you and the two other women with an elated grin.
Lisa waves you goodbye, “Hope to see you there then, cutie.” Jean pulled Klee away from you with an embarrassed smile and wave. 
You supposed it was official then. You were going to the dreaded reunion you hoped to avoid.
_____________________________________________
Standing outside the familiar manor, you dusted off your clothes in an attempt to look presentable. Saturday had come fast and without warning, your heart becoming heavy with every reminder. You weren’t sure why you were this nervous. The last time you had gone out to a gathering or party like this was back in college, and even then you felt somewhat at ease. Maybe it was because of how many old faces would be present. Maybe it was because you would be reminded of everything that happened while you were in high school.
Shaking your head, you knocked on the door. The air was chilly with the aroma of freshly cooked food making its way to your nostrils. You heard overlapping voices, laughs, music, and finally, some footsteps headed in your direction from behind the door. You took in a sharp breath and fixed your posture as the door swung open to a friendly face.
“(y/n!)”
Standing before you was a brunette girl in her 20s, cheery personality and all. Amber. You had missed her. 
“Well don’t just stand there, come in!” She took you by your hand and led you into the manor. The moment you stepped into the manor, you were reminded of just how rich the late Ragvindr was. The floors, walls, and stairs were all embellished with dark mahogany wood, a regal chandelier hung over the ceiling. Mostly everything was candlelit, providing a warm atmosphere. Nothing has changed at all.
Then registered in your mind everyone inside the room. Many people ended up coming, including all the old student council members (obviously), Collei, Mona, Venti, Sucrose, and Rosaria. Venti was currently seated at a table with a very irked Diluc and amused Rosaria. Mona and Albedo were in a conversation with each other (with Mona looking all too pleased with herself) while Lisa and Jean were laughing with Eula. Sucrose and Collei were engaged in a hush conversation before Collei spotted Amber. “Amber, (y/n), over here!”
Upon hearing your name, Mona also came over. “So, you did end up coming,” nudged Mona with an all-knowing smirk. You had no reply but a light-hearted glare.
Collei perked up, “Wow (y/n), we haven’t seen each other in years! What are you up to these days?” 
“Yeah… just been busy I guess. And you? Still working hard to become a wildlife biologist, was it?” Collei was one of your oldest friends, although a few years your junior, she was in her second year of college. 
“Yep! Amber, Sucrose, and Tighnari have been helping me lots! Although Tighnari’s more busy with dealing with his research in Sumeru, I think he mentioned something about having to deal with Cyno’s jokes nonstop…”
You ended up talking for the next hour with everybody. You found out that Sucrose and Albedo both entered the forensics field, Venti pursued his musical career, and Amber worked with Jean in the Favonius Police Department. When you asked what Rosaria did, she had no reply but a sly smile and passed you a drink. It seemed like everyone had moved on with their life respectively. You couldn’t help but feel a little jealous. 
Through the haze of the night, you slowly felt more at ease and outspoken. Maybe it was the drinks, or the nostalgia running its course through you, but it felt good. Up until you looked up and saw a familiar shade of blue hair. 
“Kaeya! We were wondering when you would show up, it’s been more than 2 hours since we started.” Chastised Amber, a disappointed Jean, and Diluc shaking their heads behind her.
You can’t seem to forgive and forget after all.

"Magic night"
Colin Zabel x Latina reader
Tumblr media
Summary: It was your second date with Colin, you started dating for a few days but you still didn't know each other well enough. You are a foreigner, you came from far away to start a new life away from the problems of your native country. Colin invited you to a bar for a drink, a quiet evening, or not?
Warning: Slightly suggestive, alcoholism, a little angst ,mention of economic crisis, impoverishment of a country and coup, also spanish words but don't worry they will have their translation.
A/N: I want to clarify that I never saw this series (so sorry) but I wanted to write something with this character because he seems very soft, and yes, this is quite specific but I really wanted the protagonist to know Spanish idk why
..............................................................................................................................
Sitting in Colin's car seat, I was accommodating the folds of my skirt for the fourth time somewhat anxious, despite being the 2 date I always got a little nervous when I saw him, I just couldn't help but feel a tickle in the pit of my stomach. Apart from the dark blue jean skirt, I was wearing a light black fabric shirt and my hair was somewhat messy with a flower-shaped clip, I knew he liked it. Completing my outfit was wine red lipstick and I was wearing black wedge boots that hugged my entire calf almost to the knee.
The detective who was trying to pay attention to the road could not help noticing from his peripheral vision your hands move, smiling with a free hand he took yours in his
I was looking through the window absently when his soft touch made me turn my head in surprise, fist at his hand and then at his face.
"Is everything alright, darling?"- He smiled as he kept looking ahead.
He had just called me darling? Oh I think that's another thing I like about him to add to the list. Their cute nicknames.
"Yeah, no worries"
His hand was still caressing mine, his fingers tracing slow circles on the back of my hand and on my knuckles. His warmth was making me melt but I tried to keep my composure.
Every time I went out in a car I liked to look out the window and see the buildings or the landscape in general. The sun was going down and the clouds were dyed in orange and pink colors, it looked like a work of art. Focused on the sky, I had not realized that we were arriving at the bar. A neon sign illuminated the car and our faces, there were tables outside and inside.
Colin opened my door and held out a careful hand to help me out.
"You look very beautiful today"- He said innocently
I looked at him with wide and surprised eyes while a shy radiant smile appeared on my face. He couldn't even imagine what those words had done to me, or the hours I spent trying to find the perfect outfit. I tried not to show my flushed cheeks
"Do you really think so?"- I said as if trying to play it down and feigning confidence, although that phrase meant the world to me.
"Of course yes, I'm always honest"
Now Zabel offered me his arm cavalierly inviting me to put his hand in it to walk together towards the entrance
"Well now I'll be honest, that blue suit looks radiant on you"- I told him flirtatious
And it was true, he was wearing a matching teal blue suit, a plain white shirt, and a black tie that matched beautifully. I was so used to seeing him in his typical black coat and dark shirts that seeing him in other colors made everything about him stand out.
Colin chuckled sheepishly as we entered the bar. The walls inside were painted a blood red while the freshly varnished wooden floor shone like a mirror. The bar was full of bottles and cocktails that the bartender was masterfully preparing. There was also a live band playing, a bass player, a drummer and the lead singer. I loved live bands, well, I loved music in general. I remember that for my 15th birthday my mother had bought me a karaoke machine, she almost instantly regretted it, I wouldn't stop using it in my room at full volume.
We went to the bar and took a seat, the music was nice. The bartender asked us what we were going to drink. Colin had a margarita and I had a gin and tonic.
"Wow, you seem to like strong drinks"- he said
"Over time you get used to it"- I laughed
While the boy in the red bowtie was preparing the drinks as if he were a juggler in a circus, Colin and I began to chat.
"So tell me... what prompted you to move to this place?"
A shadow darkened my gaze and I suddenly became serious, I lowered my head a bit uncomfortable
The detective noticed this so he quickly said
"I'm sorry, I know it's a somewhat personal question, you don't have to answer it if you don't want to."- An expression of sorrow crossed his eyes.
"No it's ok I just-"
I wanted to continue but I felt the weight of a rock in my throat. Even so I took a breath and answered
"My country had just come out of a coup d'état, the whole world had been left poor, we hardly had to eat. I remember my mother crying, the screams of the military. It was horrible"
I closed my eyes so that the tears that were about to appear would not be seen. Colin sympathetic caressed my arm rubbing it from top to bottom which gave me the strength to continue.
"Thank God my family was not harmed. When I grew up I promised my family that one day I would raise enough money to help them financially, even if it meant moving to another country."
Zabel looked at me giving me all the attention in the world and his face showed an expression of anguish as if everything I've experienced had been experienced by him too.
"I'm so sorry about all that"
"Thank you Colin.."- I was able to genuinely smile until my eyes were slanted as if they were two parallel lines, it was comforting to know that someone was listening to me without judging me
The bartender had already finished the drinks and served them to us. We thank him with a smile
"However, now I'm here and I'm not doing so bad, and the best thing is that I'm talking to the most handsome detective in town"- I told him while taking the straw between my lips and winking
I liked to make him nervous
He looked down at his drink laughing as his cheeks flushed slightly. Bingo
"Well, enough about me, now I want to hear from you, you're working on a new case, right?"
"Yes, in fact, I'm trying to make progress on that"
And so he began to talk to me about the details of the case, his co-worker and everything. It seemed like an interesting but dangerous job at the same time, I looked at him carefully while he spoke calmly, I couldn't help but worry about him every time he talked about the injured people who were involved in detective work.
"You're a very brave man"
He looked at me surprised and confused.
"Why?"
"Well, with everything you told me, it seems like you fear for your life all the time."- I tried to sound funny but I was really worried.
"Well you are partly right, this profession is dangerous but don't worry, I know how to defend myself"- He said with a smile to reassure me and put his hand on mine
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
We continued to drink our cocktails, mine was almost empty and it was getting to my head a bit because I could feel the heat of the alcohol in my blood, especially on my face.
Without warning and laughing at who knows that I asked Colin
"Do you want me to teach you words in Spanish?"
He laughed enchanted
"Okay, miss y/n, teach me"
"Do you know how to say party in Spanish?"- I said as I moved my straw in circles inside the glass
He shook his head, amused by my behavior.
"It's said: Fiesta, F-I-E-S-T-A"- I pronounced it slowly so that he can understand me and repeat it
Colin repeated the phrase with a cute American accent, it sounded adorable.
"And job it's trabajo"
The handsome detective tried to repeat the word but failed pathetically, then annoyed and getting closer I told him
"No, no no, not like that"- I gently grasp his jaw to force him to look at me.
"Look at my lips, tra-ba-jo"
He didn't expect that contact with my skin and even less when I told him to look at my lips, he immediately blushed and tried to repeat the word just to give me the satisfaction of listening to him and knowing that he learned the Spanish lesson like a good student. I felt like a preschool teacher
"Yaaay muy bien! oh that's another word haha"-I laughed nasally- "and means very good"
"It seems to me or are you a little drunk?"
I gasped
"Naah, it's your imagination"- I made a gesture with my hand like shooing a fly
Colin seemed entranced by my presence because he kept laughing in amusement.
I leaned my elbows on the bar and laughing like a schoolgirl I told him
"Guess what it means mi amor"
"I-I don't know"
"Oh c'mon. You really don't know?"
"I have no idea"
I framed my face with my hands while blinking flirtatiously.
"Means my love"- I smiled mischievously while biting my lower lip.
The brunette scratched his shirt collar heatedly with an awkward smile.
Suddenly your favorite song started being played by the band
"Ohh my god I love that song! You have to come dance with me!!"- I told him while I grabbed his wrist and dragged him to where the audience was with the musicians.
"Oh I don't think that's a good idea"- Colin said as he resisted my push and sat back down on the stool.
"Pleaseee"- I pouted sadly
"I don't know how to dance, but you go. I see you from here"
"Fineee but you are missing the opportunity to dance with a sexy latina"- I said swaying my hips
I went to the center of the room near where the musicians were playing, waving my arms in the air happily. My confidence was through the roof. I let myself be carried away by the rhythm of the music, moving my legs from one side to the other and my arms making waves while I closed my eyes letting myself go. My clothes were tight to the body highlighting my attributes and my hands ran through my body from head to toe ending on my thighs near my groin while slowly lowering to the ground.
Zabel's eyes widened.
I continued dancing with my eyes closed, my head moved from side to side as did my waist, but in an act of rebellion I went up on stage and grabbed the microphone of the main vocalist.
"What the hell are you doing"- He said irritated and confused
"Oh no, this can't be good"- Colin sighed
"Hellooo amigoos!"- I grabbed the microphone and exclaimed trying to keep my balance
"Tonight I want to dedicate this special song to that pretty boy over there who is sitting at the bar and covering his face"- I said pointing at him shamelessly
The detective covered his eyes with an embarrassed hand and laughed nervously, he wanted the earth to swallow him up
The bassist approached me annoyed and said
"Hey you can't do that he-!"
"Shh!"- I shut him up by putting a finger to his lips - "Now I will sing"
I started to sing a couple of Lady Gaga songs while seductively dancing every movement I did, it was full of elegance and passion, it was in my blood. From time to time he gave Colin provocative glances like a hunter watching his prey. I knew how to dance and capture people's attention, my hips did not stop moving and waving to the rhythm of the songs like a belly dancer, there was not a single inch of my body that I did not move. Sometimes I would bring my attention to my hands either by moving them in circles in the air and gesturing like flamenco dancers or by bringing them to my bust. I think people also liked my voice, I wasn't a professional but I put all my effort and enthusiasm into it. I could hit high notes and some low ones without so much effort.
Detective Zabel didn't know whether to run away or stay to continue enjoying the show, but he looked at me with dreamy eyes and a sparkle of joy.
"Your friend seems funny huh?"
"Uh excuse me, what?"- Colin turned his head in confusion to know who was speaking to him.
"Your little friend, the one in the pretty black shirt, seems to know how to have fun"- The bartender, while cleaning a glass, elbowed him as a sign of complicity while winking at him and then burst out laughing.
"Oh ye-yeah. She's amazing"- This last he said in almost a whisper. This woman aroused new emotions in the detective, and he liked them
Now the crazy singer began to sing in Spanish, although nobody understood her, they enjoyed the music
"SI NO SUPISTE AMAR, AHORA TE PUEDES MARCHAR!" (If you didn't know how to love, now you can leave)
"BOOM BOOM PON A GOZAR TU CUERPO CON EL BOOM, BOOM BOOM PON A GOZAR TU CUERPO, WOOO" (put your body to enjoy with the boom)- I was jumping like I was in carnival while waving an arm in the air
I stopped singing, I was exhausted
"Thank you dear audience, y ahora chupenme la-!" (and now suck my-)
The vocalist, fed up with me, snatched the microphone from me before I could finish the sentence.
"Go insult somewhere else, I have a Colombian cousin, you know? I understood what you said"
I came down from the audience somewhat embarrassed but happy because the people were applauding me happily, it was nice to be the center of attention for 5 minutes
I got to Colin who was still sitting at the bar looking at me like I was a Christmas present smiling with his eyes and mouth
"My, my. You're quite the jackpot"
"Oh what can I say?"- I said modest
"Let's go I think it's already quite late"- He looked at his wristwatch, it was 9:30
Colin Zabel took me affectionately but firmly by the arm, accompanying me towards the exit and then resting his hand on my lower back.
I got in the car together with him and we began the return to my apartment. Colin drove calmly while I still kept the music on my mind, nodding my head rhythmically and rocking my foot up and down. I looked at the streets distracted through the window. I suddenly turned my whole body so that I could face the detective. I rested an arm on the headrest of my seat, looking at him mischievously.
"What did you think of today's performance?"
"I think it was magical"- He smiled and showed some sexy dimples.- "I didn't know you could dance so well, my favorite part was when you took the vocalist's microphone and made him shut up"- When he laughed his nose wrinkled adorablely, he looked like a bunny
"Really?"- I laughed hysterically throwing my head back.- "Ok yeah, that was good"
We continue laughing heartily until I get closer to Colin laughing and resting my hand on his leg. I stroked his thigh coming up a bit near his groin and gave a playful squeeze.
Colin, who was not expecting that, tensed his muscles and clenched his jaw, letting out a contained grunt.
I looked at him biting my lower lip into a smile while still having my hand on his leg.
"Uhmm I-I think the alcohol affected you a little"- He moaned slowly, unable to contain himself.
Music for my ears
I laughed and slowly removed my hand from his thigh.
"I wasn't really drunk..."
Colin turned his head to gape at me, but remembered he was driving so he quickly looked back at the road.
"What did you just say??"
I shrugged as I looked at him, smiling innocently as if I had done some mischief and was about to punish myself.
"Did you seriously think it was my first time trying a drink that strong?"- I said naughty
Zabel snorted
"Please don't be mad, I know it was stupid"- I begged - "The cocktail had gone to my head a bit but not so much that I lost consciousness, I was conscious"- Now totally serious I look at him worried
"I'm sorry"- I sounded like a wounded animal as I looked down at my skirt. I didn't want to play the dead fly but now I realized that what I did was irresponsible
Colin heard the tone of regret in my voice and since he didn't like to see me down he said
"I'm not mad I promise, plus I have to admit it was kind of fun. And no one got hurt so you didn't do anything serious"- He gave me a warm look and a smile that was brighter than the stars in the sky that night.
Relieved, I smiled back at him as he continued driving to my house. Again he helped me get out of the car and walked me to the entrance.
"Well y/n I really had a good time today, I say again that you are full of surprises"
"Aww you don't suck either"
He laughed
We stared at each other's eyes, both shone in a particular way, was it love?
"Well I guess I'll see you another day Detective Zabel"- And without waiting for an answer, I grabbed his face with both hands and planted a passionate but quick kiss on his lips. It was our second date anyway and that's what happens at the end of one, right?
Colin stared at me silently, not knowing how to react.
"See you tomorrow, mi vida"- I smiled even with his face in my hands
He looked at me smiling confused
"I think you'll have to ask me out again to find out what that means."- I said amused as I quickly opened the door and entered my house.
The brown-haired boy stared at the door for a few seconds without knowing what to do, but then he laughed, placing his hands in his pants pocket as he headed towards his car. He would definitely ask her out on another date.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

okay it’s finally done! this one is for @corneliuswatkins enjoy babe!
summary: you’ve liked Steve for as long as you could remember. Steve swears up and down you like Eddie. Robin, Nancy and Eddie are fed up with knowing the truth and make a plan
warnings: just some pure fluff for my sweet Stevie boy babes <3
Karaoke Anyone? - Steve Harrington
“Oh come on Steve it’ll be fun.” You beg Steve.
“I don’t do Karaoke.” He says.
“Is it not cool enough for you dingus?” Robin asked Steve making you laugh. She sends you a smile and Steve rolls his eyes.
“No it’s just not fun.” He says.
“Well Robin, Eddie and I disagree.” You say.
“Wait Eddie is going?” Steve asked.
“Yes, he said he would love to come.” You say. Steve goes silent and you try to study his face but you can’t.
“I’m in.” He says and you smile.
“All because Eddie is going to be there.” Robin says rolling her eyes.
“That’s not true I don’t care if Munson is there.” Steve sasses.
“Sure Steve.” You say. He gives you a look and you just smile at him. “Speaking of Eddie though I have to go pick him up from Hellfire right now.”
“What’s wrong with his van?” Steve asked.
“Broke down this morning.” You say.
“He should fix it then.” Steve mumbles to himself. You hear him but you say nothing.
“I’ll see you guys tonight.” You say waving goodbye and walking out of Family Video.
“Clearly I need a whiteboard again.” Robin says.
“For what?” Steve says.
“Tally up again, because uh once again you suck. Why won’t you just tell her you like her?” She asked him.
“She doesn’t like me Robin, I’m pretty sure she likes Eddie. Is it his hair? Do I need do something different?” Steve asked glancing up at his hair, reaching up and fixing it a little.
“Yes because Steve the hair Harrington needs to change his hair, I’ve told you time and time again dingus she likes you.” Robin says. Steve looks at Robin and rolls his eyes.
“Doubt that.” He says and Robin just sighs.
Tumblr media
“So have you told Harrington how you feel?” Eddie asked you when he got in your car.
“Absolutely not, seatbelt.” You say not starting the car until he put it on. He looks at you for a moment and you give him a look and he rolls his eyes putting his seatbelt on.
“And the reason is?” He asked you as you finally drove off.
“Eds I told you already he doesn’t like me that way.” You say.
“And I’m telling you that he gets all googley eyes when he sees you. And he drools.” He says.
“He does not shut up.” You say.
“It’s true! You’re oblivious!” He says.
“Hey! That’s not nice.” You say.
“I’m speaking facts sweetheart, don’t take it to heart.” He says placing his hands over his heart.
“Well I’m not getting my hopes up.” You say.
“You’re really stubborn you know that?” He asked you.
“And you’re dramatic.” You say.
“You wound me!” Eddie says again clutching as his heart more dramatically this time and throwing himself back smacking the back of his head in the process, wincing out.
“That’s what you get.” You say.
“Now look who’s not being nice.” He says. You glance at him and he’s rubbin the back of his head.
“You knew what would happen being dramatic in a small space.” You say.
“Shut up.” He says and you laugh.
Tumblr media
You, Nancy, and Robin sit in your seats, laughing to yourselves watching Eddie and Steve argue about who was going to go first.
“Harrington, who’s the singer here?” Eddie asked Steve.
“This isn’t about professionalism Munson this is about having fun, this isn’t one of your silly little games where you need to be competitive.” Steve says.
“Don’t you dare bring Hellfire into this.” Eddie says.
“Okay ladies calm it down.” Robin says.
“Will you get him.” Eddie says looking at you.
“How about I go first.” You get up and the boys look at you with their jaw dropped.
“Finally that’s settled.” Nancy says.
“I’m choosing the song though.” Robin says getting up.
“Uh okay.” You say. You look at Nancy and you can tell she knows something. Soon the beat to Hungry Eyes come on.
“Get up there Stevie boy.” Eddie says pushing him.
“It’s not a duet.” Steve says confused.
“So? Who cares sing it up you two.” Robin says. Steve and you look at each other confused. He grabs a mic and you both just start singing anyway since everyone was staring you two down. This truly made no sense but you wanted to have fun. Once the song was done you both got off the Stage and Eddie jumps up and hops on the stage picking his song. Of course he chose Iron Man.
“Black Sabbath, predictable.” You joke.
“Shut it.” Eddie says before he starts getting into the zone. Everyone had their turns and when it came to you again Nancy chose the song and once again Eddie shove Steve on stage.
“What are you guys doing?” You finally ask.
“Look I can’t take this anymore, I’m telling them.” Robin says but Eddie and Nancy protest. “You two have to be the most oblivious people I have ever met in my life! You guys both clearly are head over heals for each other but swear up and down the other doesn’t like you. But guess what? You like each other.” You and Steve look at each other in shock.
“Is that true Stevie?” You ask him.
“Okay yes, it’s true. But you like Eddie so what does it matter?” He asked you.
“Ew, you think she likes me Harrington? She’s like my sister, she calls Wayne her uncle.” Eddie says.
“Okay the ew wasn’t necessary Eds, but he’s right Steve I don’t like Eddie like that. It’s you that I like.” You say.
“You do? You’re not just saying that?” He asked you.
“Of course not.” You say.
“Now kiss each other already!” Nancy says. You turn red and look at Steve again. He steps closer and grabs your face gently.
“May I?” He asked.
“Yes Steve.” He smiles and kisses you and your heart explodes. You pull away and look at him. “Oh Stevie boy how you have my heart.”
“And you have mine.” He says.
“Finally!” Robin says.
“Alright enough out of you, let’s get back to our karaoke.” Steve says as you both get off stage and sit back down.
“Me next!” Robin says jumping up but Eddie does as well.
“No me!” He says and they both fight over the mic. Steve grabs your hand and you look down at your hands intertwined and smile to yourself. Robin and Eddie finally agree to sing a duet, a very awful rendition of I Got You Babe.
“This is dedicated to our two favourite dinguses, who finally realised just how in love with each other they are!” Robin says into the mic.
“Took long enough.” Eddie says. “I thought it would never happen.” Falling back a little, Robin catching him.
“Munson, just sing your song.” Steve says. The song starts and it just was a complete disaster. Steve looks at you, the same grin on your face mirrored on his. He leans in for a kiss, causing the two on stage to break from the song and cheer. You broke apart slightly, both blushing before kissing again. You lightly squeezed Steve’s hand before cuddling it with your other arm, and that’s how you stayed for the rest of the night.

Hob has to admit that, even though he tries to stay up to date with current trends, his taste in music never much got the memo. But that's always been the case. It is terribly annoying to get into something, twenty years after he could have had the live experience.
Or, in this case, fourty years. Though he had liked the music in the eighties well enough at the time.
It's Saturday morning and despite the mountain of housework he has to get through if he intends to find any of his stuff or dishes to eat from in the last week of exams, he is in a fantastic mood. The weather took a turn for cold and rainy but his flat is cosy and warm, he managed to find an unused cup to make himself some tea and a playlist with all the 80's hits is playing in the background.
Of course, this is not the sole reason for his good mood. It doesn't even cover a fraction of the reason why he looks like the sun's shining out of his arse at seven on his first proper day off in weeks.
Before Hob's never been one to remember much of his dreams. Ever since he and Dream were sort of dating (they hadn't discussed the terms and conditions yet, and as long as both of them were happy as is, he didn't feel the need to push the topic) that happened more and more. Just last night, he'd spent a part of his sleep walking with Dream through his realm, being shown around and introduced to a variety of creatures.
It had been utterly fascinating!
The best part though was that Dream had let slip, that he had been working more in the last days so that he might spend today with Hob in the Waking World. He knew that - aside from some housework - Hob intended to do nothing but laze around.
So of course he's in a good mood, belting along to a playlist that at least somewhat betrays his age. How else can it be?
(Hob had also noticed that the number of 80's songs circling the topic of dreams was surprisingly high. He had never noticed that before but now it made him think of Dream all the time, painting a big smile on his lips.)
It's his luck that the inn's still closed and no one is around for a noise complaint, because with questionable synth pop he gets through his dishes in record time. Cleaning the bath is done in a fraction of the time it usually takes him - only delayed by the thought if he could persuade Dream to relax in the tub together - and the feather duster that's no longer made of actual feathers makes a wonderful improvised microphone for his one-man interpretation of Sweet Dreams.
Which is, unbeknownst to Hob, how his own Dream finds him.
The song ends and Hob uses the brief interlude before the next one starts to actually dust off some of his books. He knows that one too, and he can't help but grin because of course it reminds him of Dream.
He stumbles over the first few lines until he catches the rhythm, swaying to it, moving on to the next bookshelf.
There's not a minute, hour, day or night that I don't love you You're at the top of my list 'cause I'm always thinkin' of you
Further into the song, he's much more secure lyric-wise, and even though he knows his voice is croaky at best - missing the whiskey he uses to prepare for karaoke nights at the pub - he gives it his all.
Yes, Dream is absolutely on top of his list of things he plans to do today, even if that sounds a bit crude. And he has been thinking about him for the past two hours, his thoughts never straying far from the entity/man because as soon as his mind wandered to other things, the music in the background conveniently reminded him of his love.
Not that Hob minds. Quite the opposite actually. He just hopes his daydreams made it to his love's realm so that he might profit a bit from Hob's good mood.
He throws himself into the beginning of the chorus - a thousand kisses are most certainly not enough - spinning around to get to the next bit of his living room, when he finds Dream standing in the corner, watching him with a bemused smile.
Now, at this point, he probably should stop singing, but then again Hob's never been afraid to make an arse out of himself in the name of love. And he knows that Dream - even though he won't admit to it - loves cheesy displays of affection. The cheesier, the better, in fact, and Hob has had more than six centuries to practice.
So, non-feather duster repurposed to serve as a microphone again, he grins at Dream. Trying to get a laugh out of his love makes Hob do a very exaggerated and nearly indecent wriggle with his hips as the second verse begins.
He doesn't have to go to work today but that's neither here nor there as he yells at the top of his lungs:
Well, who needs to go to work to hustle for another dollar I'd rather be with you 'cause you make my heart scream and holler
It does not elicit one of Dream's rare laughs, but Hob gets a fond shake of the head for his troubles.
Well, that won't do. He can be even worse and thankfully the chorus is starting again.
Only in socks, he slides across his hardwood floor, performing a spin that nearly sends him tumbling into his coffee table. Dream grabs him before Hob can hurt himself, and he uses it to immediately draw Dream into his arms.
The feather duster is quickly discarded in favour of holding Dream close and trying to get him to swing to the rhythm too. He's reluctant, but Hob's nothing if not stubborn, and not even - or especially - the collective unconsciousness can't withstand his charms, slowly beginning to move with him.
A thousand kisses from you is never too much
Hob croons along to the music, closing his eyes to really give it his all. When he opens them, Dream is smirking at him.
"Well, that really is not that much," he says with barely contained amusement.
"So you agree then?" Hob asks, his cheeks starting to hurt from how wide he's grinning. "I knew you were a smart one."
Before Dream can say anything along the lines of just how much knowledge he contains, Hob places a quick kiss on his lips. Might not be that much, but it's a start.
By then, the chorus has started up again, and he can belt the line that really makes him heady.
A million days in your arms is never too much I just don't wanna stop
Dream crooks his head, looking at him with brightly shining eyes. As stoic as his expression might be, Hob knows what the slow twinkle in the starry eyes of his love means.
"You know that is more than two thousand and seven hundred years, yes?" Dream asks carefully, and even though he doesn't mention it out loud, Hob knows that there's a deeper meaning to the question.
He could question it, but he won't allow for either of their worries about doomed past relationships to ruin this perfectly good day that's about to get even better if he has a say in the matter.
"Yup," he informs his love carefully carding his fingers through the mess of black hair on Dream's head to pull him closer. "Still isn't enough though, love."
The kiss that follows borders on desperate. He isn't quite sure if this is Dream's doing or his own, but he hopes it gets his point across: What's two thousand and seven hundred years when he wants to spend eternity with this impossible being in his arms?
Hob's loved him for six centuries, what's twenty-seven more?
They break from their kiss mostly for his benefit so he can catch his breath, the blush high on Dream's cheeks nearly making him lose it again. The song's long over, the next one on the playlist is nearly done as well, but Hob couldn't care less. He's done cleaning and he wants to spend the rest of this day - and every single one that follows - holding Dream and kissing him.
His love doesn't seem to mind, safe for one request:
"Can we listen to it again?"
@karalynlovescake I offer you fluff to make up for the 80's angst from last time

A little night goblin ask, ya know, for the boys 👀 how would they be with an s/o who is a major and I mean, MAJOR night owl? Maybe borderline insomniac? It's not from anything traumatic (or so they think) but hey, what's the deal?
(pls +thank oh gracious god)
As someone who is awake at almost 5 AM as in hasn't gone to bed yet, I FEEL THIS and yes I can. It won't be caused by anything dramatic, they just be up late. Maybe they gamin, who knows. Headcanons below da cut, mwah. Last one for today, goog nite.
Kazuma Kiryu
He's a morning guy so he tries to get to bed at a reasonable time. At first, he would be concerned for your health and wonder if something is wrong. Once he realizes you are just like THAT, he'll more or less return to normal but it'll take some getting used to for him. You might accidentally wake him up in the middle of the night if you're too noisy and that might startle him at first.
Majima Goro
ALSO a total night owl and will only encourage your bad habits. Total enabler and will use it as an excuse to spend time with you, saying things like "Well, since we're both up, may as well do somethin'!". Once he finds out you stay up late, he will take you out on at least ONE all night bender so watch out.
Akiyama Shun
This chronically sleepy dumb dumb cannot understand how you possibly stay up so late. The man doesn't go 5 hours without taking a nap so he'll totally sit up, yawn and stretch before saying "Ah, you're still up?" before getting up to do whatever he was about to do. You'll likely still be awake when he comes back for his next nap, to which he'll say "You're STILL up?! How??". Honestly he's just fascinated.
Saejima Taiga
He's not a night owl but he can be prone to the occassional night where he can't fall asleep, in which case he will simply join you in whatever you're doing. In these cases, he loves nothing more than to just drink some tea and read a book next to you in silence until the both of you get tired enough to go to sleep. Otherwise, he's unphased and just tells you to make sure you remember to turn off the lights whenever you're done.
Tanimura Masayoshi
Also a night owl but not by choice as sometimes it's just because he's getting dragged into work. In these times, he'll keep you company from afar by checking in on you via text or even dropping a quick phone call if he can. However, if it's an off day, he'll definitely be snoozing. If he's super tired, you being up won't disturb him at all but if it does manage to wake him up, he kind of wakes up as if he was startled by a weird dream and just goes "Huh??"
Ryuji Goda
He doesn't know the meaning of a sleep schedule and just sleeps whenever he feels tired. This means he's sometimes just up with you and sometimes he's in his bed spread out like a starfish going honk schnoo. When he does stay up with you, he usually asks what you want to do. He would definitely ask you what's up the first time he realizes you've stayed up super late but he won't act like something's wrong with you as he trusts you to sleep when you need to like he does.
Nishikiyama Akira
He has a pretty average sleep schedule. Typically, he'll only be up late if he's had a couple drinks too many or by losing track of time at karaoke, in which case you're probably doing the same with him. At home, he's a relatively light sleeper, so if you make a noise that wakes him, he'll kind of roll over and sleepily ask what you're doing without so much as opening his eyes while his blanket is pulled up to his chin.
Mine Yoshitaka
Probably the only one of the boys who's got your insomnia thing beat. Who knows if Mine ever actually sleeps fully, he honestly just naps strategically. Like Akiyama but with a plan this time. You'll find him resting intermittently through the day and night at specific times. If he happens to be awake at the same time as you, he kind of just goes about his business as this was already normal for him. He'll take the time to talk to you and see what you're up to though. Otherwise, Mine is just puttering about his day or night depending on what time it is.
Daigo Dojima
This poor boy is so sleepy exhausted. Running the Tojo Clan is difficult difficult lemon difficult. Doesn't really mind that you're a night owl though as it would take an earthquake or a Tojo Clan emergency to wake him up. Secretly loves falling asleep with his head in your lap while you read a book or tell him about your day. No matter how tired he is, he always manages to wake up before you do. You might stay up later than him but you somehow always get more sleep than he does.
Shinada Tatsuo
This man doesn't know what a schedule is, period. He can barely keep his job together so he just gets sleep when he can. You might catch him bolting upright in bed at 11 PM before he shouts "Ah I forgot to turn that in!" before he hasilty throws on his clothes and shoes before running out the door. Other times, he'll be conked out by 5 PM. It doesn't matter how long he's known you, he'll always be kind of impressed by how late you stay up, although you insist to him that it's really not an impressive thing. Always tells you to make sure you get enough sleep whenever you do decide to go to bed.

From the Start (zoro/robin)
Tumblr media
Pairing: Nico Robin/Roronoa Zoro Tags: Modern Setting, Light Angst Warnings: None Word Count: 2.4 k Summary: A flight to Logue Town that will reconnect two long-time friends, and a song that will rekindle the old flame. A/N: light angst for angstober 2023 (no particular prompt, but this draft has been up since last year so i decided to finish this one) Also posted on: Archive of Our Own
“This is an announcement for passengers on flight N1127 to LogueTown. The flight has been delayed due to bad weather conditions… We are sorry for the inconvenience.”
The flight announcement has been repeated so many times now. Of course, it will be so tiring to hear it when you were supposed to be arriving the next day to visit your close friend in Cocoyashi.
Robin: im sorry, nami might arrive a day late : ((
Nami: don’t worry, it’s fine!!! at least we know that you’re going to make it :D loveyewww &lt;3
Honestly, this delayed flight should have been making her insane right now, but when she received the text from Nami, her mood shifted. Her reassuring text had earned a small smile on Robin’s face. Taking a deep breath, she whipped out her phone and read the manuscript Koala sent to her. Just a little peak. There shouldn’t be any work-related things hindering her vacation, but it wouldn’t hurt to check some edits here and there.
“Is this seat taken?”
Robin didn’t mind looking up, “No, no, it’s fine,” before she started reading one of the lines from the manuscript. A minute later, she just realized who that was. She recognized who that voice belonged to.
“Zoro?” She never meant to mumble it out loud, and it seems the man had heard her.
“Oh. I didn’t recognize that it was you.”
It was a lie. She knew he was lying.
“Yeah, me, too! Are you also going to Nami—? Wait, you don’t have to tell me. Of course, you’ll be going there, too. How long has it been, two years?” She joked, which made Zoro chuckle for a bit. She still likes hearing him chuckle. 
“Hey, it might feel like two years, but it’s only been a year since you left. By the way, how are you? Nami told me that you’re already working at the National Archive Museum in Ohara like you always wanted. Is it true?”
He remembered. Of course, why would he not know that? They had been friends for so long. Besides, Zoro has always been a supportive friend, and Robin always appreciates what he has done for her even the smallest things.
She smirked at him lightly. “I’ve been well… And yes; it’s also been a year since…”
“The day you left.” He completed her sentence before an awkward silence filled in the gap of their conversation. Robin didn’t know what to say, andso did he.
“Well, surprise, I’m back.” She chuckled, breaking the silence. “Did you miss me?” She teased.
“I would be lying if I said that I didn’t miss you.”
“Hah. Stop it…” He was a madman.
There goes him, giving her mixed signals and that signature smirk of his. That’s one of the worst things about having Zoro as one of your close friends. She hates it when he is unpredictable. And most probably, that's one of the reasons she likes him, thinking that their dynamic fits the same wavelength, which eventually causes her to fall for him for about four years.
“How’s your girlfriend?” She changed her subject.
“Oh… We ended our relationship before our first anniversary six months ago…”
“Oh. Oh… Sorry about that.” Robin didn’t know that bit of his relationship. How come she does not know—? ‘Oh, never mind,’ she thought. Once again, their conversation came to halt, and Robin went on reading the manuscript on her phone before she switched on another app on her phone to scroll mindlessly and watch silly contents.
“Did you really mean it?” Zoro broke the silence.
“What?”
“That night.”
“Zoro, I didn’t remember—”
He then showed a video of her singing at the karaoke during her despedida party. At first, she didn’t know what he meant, but slowly, the realization sank in when she sang the last words of the song, extending her hand, and pointing vaguely at someone in the audience.
“I think I was drunk that time.” She lied.
He scoffed, not actually believing her word.
“What?”
“You had a flight the next day but I know you’re not a lightweight drinker—”
“And so? I am just singing a silly little song about unrequited love, so?”
 He was about to counter what she said. “Never mind, forget about it.”
“So, why are you bringing this up right now after a year?” Robin questioned him. 
Not that she was bitter last year (she was); she blocked him from all of her social media accounts that she could think of. She hadn’t heard him for so long, and then he just shows up like nothing happened? Wow, that was just so uncool of Zoro, to be honest.
“Maybe it just took me so long to realize..." He stared at his feet, avoiding Robin’s gaze.
“Why now?” she asked before he could even complete his sentence. 
Despite the loudness sinking in, another silence wraps them away from the noise of the airport. Robin didn’t want to hear what he was about to say next. She wanted to cover her ears. Not that she was waiting to hear him say those words out loud, but… why now?
///
Every moment in our lives comes into bits and pieces, whether you want to keep them or not. For Robin, seeing her friends for the last time at Baratie’s before her flight the next day would be one of her best and saddest decisions in life. Spending every moment to the fullest, she never knows when she will experience this once again.  
“Robin!!! We’re going to miss you.” Nami pulled Robin into the tightest hug. “Who’s going to come with me when I go shopping?”
“You can take Sanji with you during your shopping sprees," Robin joked, and Nami glared at her playfully. “Okay. Okay, and maybe next time when I get back.”
“And what if that will take more than two years? Or worse, ten years…”  
“Don’t worry, I promise I will be back next year.”
“You promise that. I believe your word, Robin.”
“And so Mosshead decided to show up late when Robin-chwan is already here! Why are you fucking late—?" Sanji shouted at the back when someone had arrived.
“Sorry, we’re late.”
“Who’s we?” Sanji quipped before he was visibly stunned along with his friends when Zoro was with a turquoise-haired woman.
“Everyone, this is Hiyori, my girlfriend.”
Half of his friends were surprised, and half of them were bewildered, when Zoro just nonchalantly announced having a girlfriend. Robin, on the other hand, didn’t know what to feel. She should have been happy for him. She was his friend, of course. But the more that she stares at their happy couple faces, Robin would rather get drunk than stay miserable.
“Wow, I never thought," Sanji murmured. “How long have you been together?”
“A month.”  
“A month? And you kept this from us?”
“I just wanted to introduce her to you guys and to Robin as well.” Zoro smiled and introduced his ‘girlfriend’ to all of their friends. The woman smiled sheepishly at them while holding Zoro’s hand.
 “Girl, are you okay?” Nami shared a concerning look at Robin.
“Don’t you just think I should have scheduled my flight a little bit earlier, so I couldn’t see this?”
Robin would be lying to herself if she said there was no jealousy bubbling up inside her guts. She couldn’t even handle looking at the couple. Nami was the only one who knew of her secret. It’s been more than one year— no, three years— she concealed what she felt for Zoro. And the moment when she wanted to tell him,  maybe she should just forget it. She’ll be living away from them anyway,so it wouldn’t even matter in the end.
“Robin, it’s not your fault.” Nami held her hand and squeezed it. “We didn’t even know that he would be hard-launching his ‘girlfriend’ tonight. And this is also the first time he mentioned this to us? Like, why now?”
"Just... let’s just don’t think about that. And just enjoy the night.”
And so they did. 
Her friends had prepared a night to remember, not a night to resent. She wouldn’t let her friends’ efforts go to waste just because of one minor inconvenience; she would make this night hers. The night went on, and everything was smooth sailing. Robin almost forgot what had made her mood shift for a little bit. Thanks to her friends, Robin never felt the sinking feeling—or, that’s what she thought—until Brook asked who was next in line for the karaoke machine, which was Robin’s song. 
“Whose song is this? From the Start by Laufey?”
Robin stood up and grabbed the mic from Brook. 
The modern bossa nova song opened with a summery guitar strum, and Robin danced with a cute sway of her hips to match the beat of the song's intro, which earned cheers from her friends. 
“Don't you notice how I get quiet when there's no one else around?” Robin spared a glance at the man she had fallen for.
She couldn’t quite imagine that she would actually relate to this song after listening to it for, like, weeks now. As she sang the first lines of the lyrics, she imagined that she was the person in the song. When her gaze landed on them, she could see the crease in Zoro’s eyes when he looked at her. The burning pain that she wanted to erase just by seeing Zoro and his girlfriend doing the lovey-dovey gestures that couples do. 
“Oh, how I wish you'll wake up one day, run to me, confess your love, at least just let me say…”
For some reason, Cupid shot an arrow into her heart for someone who would never feel the same way as hers. And of course, Robin had a high sense of pride; she would never confess what she really felt towards him. She’d rather let whatever she was feeling wither and wilt rather than actually say what she really feels— except there was a screaming little voice from the back of her head that she wanted to confess tonight, and confess, ‘I loved you from the start.’
She had been thinking about confessing ever since, but for some reason, there was an invisible force that held her lips and mind, reeling her not to. And to think that it has been going on for about two years now— how could she even bottle all this up? Direct and honest Robin was being held back from confessing to her long-time friend. 
How could she not say it directly when she was one of the most outspoken people among their friends? 
Even the smartest people had a hard time predicting love because, at the end of the day, it was not as easy as analyzing them. Be surprised at the unexpected, and that’s what Robin felt.
“Have to get this off my chest; I'm telling you today…”
When Nami first introduced her to her friends, she was intrigued by him rather than falling in love with him at first sight. Aside from Luffy, who was the most enthusiastic to befriend her during her college years, Zoro was the next one who caught her attention. She thought this was just admiration, but the next thing she knew, this once petty feeling building up inside her chest had built up into the history of genuinely liking someone. She tried to erase him from her mind, but the more she tried, the harder it was for her to move on. However, that night, she found a solution: vaguely confess with a song, then pretend and forget like nothing happened.
“I know I’ve loved you from the start.” She ended her mini-performance by extending her hand, vaguely pointed at the audience. ///
“I talked through Nami about this a month ago, and I really wanted to see you, so...”
“Zoro, just tell me already and—”
“I actually liked you before, Robin.”
Robin stared at him for a moment, so speechless that she couldn’t move her lips to respond with a witty reply.
Between her and Zoro, Robin was the most direct between them. She was brutally honest, and she was flawlessly fluent in any spoken word. But as soon as she heard what Zoro had said that evening, she knew that night was full of surprises. First, her flight to Cocoyashi was delayed; second, Zoro showed up beside her, boarding the same delayed flight; and third, his confession? What is happening? She even pinched herself to make sure tonight was real. Any moment now, she should be waking up. But she didn’t. This was real. It was happening in real time.
“What did you just say?” Deep breaths— inhaling and exhaling thoroughly, processing through what Zoro had just said. Even if she wanted to hear this for a long time, the crippling doubt creeped in. “Did you just mean to tell me this? Wait— Ah, ah.” She raised her pointing finger mid-air, stopping him for what he was about to say. “What do you mean before?”
“I liked you, Robin.”
“And you didn’t tell me?” She laughed airily and couldn’t believe what she was hearing at that moment. “How come you didn’t tell me?”
“I thought you didn’t like me before, but not until I rewatched the vid Nami sent the other day.”
That’s it? Robin belted out the loudest laugh that night. Some people beside them started to look at her as if she were crazy. All this time, when she thought he was the one who didn’t like her, she learned this almost the same day she confessed to him. Was the universe playing a joke on her?
“Why are you laughing? Did I say something funny?” He stared at her; brows furrowed in confusion.
“I hate you,” she quipped teasingly with a small smirk on her lips. “And now, you’re meeting me here at the airport, so you could tell that?”
“That’s not what I meant to say…”
“Just tell me already, Zoro so I know—”
“Do you think if we’ve been together, we would make everything work out?”
Once again, Robin was left speechless. 
"Zoro, I don’t really know what to say, but… if I say that, let’s talk about this when we get to East Blue. Will you wait?”
“I’ll be waiting.” He smiled at her, never leaving her side. 
Robin knew to herself that Zoro was not the romantic type. Yet, there were moments that she would be blown away, and if their friends heard what he had just said, all of them would not believe that the Roronoa Zoro possesses at least a bit of a romantic side in his veins. 
And will Robin say ‘yes’ to Zoro’s question? That’s for her future self in three days to decide, even though she already knew the answer.

@aeriscallanga
Hi! May I request a personality/written ship for Ateez, Enhypen, Seventeen, Stray Kids, and TXT with short explanation each? Thanks!
Tumblr media
Hello hello friend!! Thank you for your patience ♡ I just want to say you seem like such a vibe? Your style is so cool just by reading it I'm OBSESSED
Anyways here's your ship!! I hope you like hehe
₊˚⊹♡₊˚⊹♡₊˚⊹♡˚⊹♡₊˚⊹♡₊˚⊹♡˚⊹♡₊˚⊹♡₊˚⊹♡˚⊹♡₊˚⊹
In ateez I ship you with... Mingi!
Tumblr media
Are you kidding me? I imedietly knew it'd be him. He would be so in awe of your style. You'd go shopping together and any outfit you put together he would just babble like an idiot over how incredible you look. "Look at him! Isn't he the coolest?" Like yes mingi we get it. He'd never stop talking about you. On days off he would plan a hole day at the park. Starting with a picnic then taking infamous amounts of photos of you two together.
In enyphen I ship you with... Heeseung!
Tumblr media
Heeseung is 100% a homebody so taking him out to do stuff may be a fight but with some convincing he'd finally give in. Heeseung would remember something you pointed out one time at a store and go back to buy it and suprise you with it. He would admire how dependable you were but would make sure you know he's there for you too. He'd always make sure you're doing okay and if something happened, I'm sure a delivery food dinner date and video games would be in the agenda to cheer you up. He'd always buy you guys matching accessories and make sure everyone knew it too. Not in an annoying way but if someone asked he'd never let the opportunity to mention you get away.
In seventeen I ship you with... Wonwoo!
Tumblr media
You'd be sleeping in one morning and wake up to this gentle giant bringing you fresh hot coffee (or whatever it is you prefer) along with a home-cooked breakfast. He'd wake you up with some forehead kisses then crawl back into bed just to fall asleep again. Anytime he catches you drawing he just sits silently admiring your talent. He'd always want to ask you to draw a portrait of you two but would be too scared to bother you with it, so one day you'd come home to a blushy shy Wonwoo and his best attempt at drawing you guys. It hangs above your bed now along with a few other pieces you've done.
In stray kids I ship you with... Bang Chan!
Tumblr media
Chan would always listen to what you have to say. A new topic you've found interesting, your current concerns, any silly little joke, he's right there for it. This man wouldn't let anything pass by. If someone looks at you they'd probably be gone within seconds from him staring from behind you. Protective mode ON. You are his #1 priority. But he's also going to give you all the hoodies to snuggle up in when he's gone or write you a song. I imagine you two dancing around in the kitchen at 1 am baking cookies and creating loving memories. This man would spoil you to the ends of the earth. Just the perfect boyfriend honestly I could go on forever.
In TXT I ship you with... Yeonjun!
Tumblr media
Yeonjun, my dear boy. Get ready to have fun non stop. He always has something planned to do with you. Karaokes, dancing outside when it's raining, shopping, going on nice dinner dates, taking painting classes together- etc etc. You would mention doing something and he'd get so excited. "Absolutely!!! Lets go!!! Right now!!" And that's how you found yourself looking at pandas on a Thursday afternoon. Whenever he's out and about and sees something that reminds you of him he would take a picture to send you. It's honestly adorable to thing this "scary rapper" would burst into the biggest smile at just the thought of you. Also you two being literally the baddest ass couple?? Heads would be TURNING on the streets. Your lowkey famous in your town from how well you two dress.
I hope you like it! Have a good day 🌸

Her Song part 5
Today is Friday, which means tonight we're doing live music. Ash and I named it 'VIP Night' when we were drunk...it may or may not secretly stand for Very Inappropriate Performances. It's not an event we hold every week, but I try to book bands as often as possible. If we can't find anyone, then I host a karaoke night, which most people love. The only downside is that I can't sell booze.
Bummer.
Since there's less than an hour until VIP Night starts, Syd and I are currently moving the shop around. We rearrange all the tables so they face the small stage in the corner of the store; it's only big enough for a few people at a time, but it's all we need. There's not a lot else we can move because of the aisles, but we make it work. I turn the chairs so they face the right way, too, and then sweep off the mini stage.
Syd cleans off the tables while I grab the microphone and tech gear from the back room. As I'm setting up the mic stand, the music abruptly changes from Patsy Cline to Big Time Rush.
Sighing, I give the culprit a 'really?' look and shake my head at her.
"Love you, Momma," she says sweetly.
"Love you too, you little Satanist. And you're only playing this until people start arriving, okay?"
"Deal!"
"Thank you," I say, returning to my task.
"Hey, Momma?"
"Yeah, babe?"
"What's a Satanist?"
"You."
"That isn't a valid definition. Please elaborate. Feel free to use the term in a sentence."
"What- oh my god. Bring me the box of cords, please. This one is done for," I say, tossing the clean-cut cord to the side.
She drags the box of extra cords out of back room and sets it in front of me. "Thank you, ma'am."
"You're welcome, sir," she replies as she plops down on the stage next to me.
I rummage through the box, but the cord I need isn't there. "Damn. I guess we'll have to splice the one we have. We can get a new one tomorrow. Do you know where the wire strippers are?"
"Yup. In the toolbox under the shelf with the boxes of cups and napkins. I'll go get them."
"Thank you, Syd."
She skips away and quickly returns with the small tool. I strip both ends of the wire and grab the two halves to twist them together.
"Hi, Y/N!"
The sudden loud voice scares me and my body jumps. One end of the wire, which was apparently very sharp, slips and nicks my finger.
"Oh my god! Can everybody please stop scaring me like that," I breathe out as I stand up.
"Sorry," Florence apologizes sheepishly. "I just heard that you're doing a special night here and I wanted to see if you need any help before it starts?"
"Oh, well, I really appreciate that. Thank you, Florence. But I think all we need to do is fix this wire and set up the mic."
"Momma, is that blood?" Syd cuts in. I look down at my hand and, sure enough, there's a steady stream of blood running down my finger.
"Huh," I say. "I'll be right back. Talk amongst yourselves."
I go into the bathroom and grab our first aid kid, doing my best to not drip blood everywhere. The first aid kit has a latch on it, which is very difficult to open when one hand is covered in blood.
Florence walks in and closes the bathroom door behind her. "Hey, I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to scare you and make you cut your hand and- why is it bleeding so much?"
"I think the wire, like, punctured my skin. It's fine, it's not a big deal. And it's definitely not your fault, so don't apologize. I'm very accident prone."
"And apparently extremely easy to sneak up on," she adds, taking the first aid kit from me and digging out an antiseptic wipe. "Wash the blood off first," the blonde instructs.
"Yes, ma'am."
She watches me closely as I wash and dry my hands, but I pretend not to notice because I'm too awkward to say anything. When I'm finished, I jut my hand out for her and she takes it with a playful eye roll. She dabs it with an antiseptic wipe and I wince. "Hey! Be gentle, jeez. That shit burns."
"Oh, suck it up you big baby."
"This is all your fault, remember."
"You literally just said it wasn't my fault!"
"I was lying to make you feel better about yourself. In reality, I'm in a great deal of pain because of you."
She smacks my arm and we both burst out laughing. Looking into her captivating hazel eyes, our laughter slowly fades and her cheeks turn a light shade of pink, and I'm sure mine look the same. She quietly clears her throat and breaks eye contact, wrapping a bandaid around my index finger.
"There you go. I think you'll live."
"What, you're not even gonna kiss it better?" I joke. She grabs my hand and quickly kisses my finger before turning around and leaving the bathroom. "Huh," I say in the empty room.
I can hear more voices coming from the shop as people begin to show up for VIP night, so I quickly place the first aid kit back on the shelf and rush into the main area to finish fixing the cord.
The mic is fixed and set up within the next five minutes, so now we're just waiting for the band to show up. For tonight, we booked a small band whose members go to a local college. They're pretty good, and I think Florence will love their music.
I scan the room for Ash since she was supposed to clock in ten minutes ago, and I see her greeting the band as they enter the store. Waving them over to the stage, I help them set up.
One everything is ready to go, Ash dims the lights and I step into the stage, grabbing the microphone.
"Hey, y'all! How are we feeling tonight?" A series of claps and cheers comes from the small crowd in the store. I make eye contact with Florence and send her a small smile, to which she waves. "Thank you guys so much for coming to VIP night. I'll get out of here so the band can introduce themselves. Enjoy the show!"
Hopping off the stage, I join Ash behind the cafe counter to help her with the orders. I assist her with making the drinks and grabbing pastries while David carries the orders to people's tables.
"Y/N, come here," I hear Florence say from the end of the counter. "I want to introduce you to someone."
I look up and see Florence standing there with a guy. He's older, brown hair. Conventionally attractive, I guess. "Uh, hi. I'm Y/N," I greet him.
"I'm Zach, Florence's boyfriend. It's good to finally meet you. Flo hasn't stopped talking about you," he says, sticking his hand out for me to shake, which I do, giving him a polite, tight-lipped smile. The boyfriend. I always forget about the boyfriend.
"It's good to meet you, too. Although Florence hasn't mentioned you at all," I reply with unintentional malice.
Ash, overhearing the conversation, coughs loudly as if saying be nice. I remind myself that it's not my place and I have no right to be upset. "I've gotta get back to work. Have fun," I say with an (almost) genuine smile.
I do my best to ignore Florence's quietude and clenched jaw. She seemed guilty. She had no reason to be. I should've known she had a boyfriend and that she was just being nice. That's on me.

saturday, 12:04pm
"About time you woke up. Thought you were dead." Daemon squints, the light sending a blinding pulse of pain directly between his eyes. He can barely lift his head, but he can see just enough to know he somehow made it into his own bed. His head is swimming, his mouth tastes like an ashtray, and he can tell by the way the sheets rub against him that he's completely naked. Beside him, slightly blurred, is Rhaenyra, wearing an undeniably smug grin. "How did I—" "Harwin poured you out of a cab around three a.m."  Harwin. Right. Boys' night with Harwin and Laenor. "Fucking hells, I drank way too much," Daemon groans, shoving his face back into the pillows. "That's not all you did," Rhaenyra says cryptically. Daemon lifts his head, craning his neck to get another look at Rhaenyra. She's smiling broadly, pointing a finger vaguely in the direction of his back. That's when he's hit with a stinging surge of pain in his lower back. Oh shit. Oh fuck.  "Don't worry, love. I took a photo. The ones you sent me were rather blurry."  Rhaenyra holds up her phone, right in front of his face. He blinks a few times, praying that each one might resest his brain and reveal that he's just imagining it—but the tingling sensation tells him it's very much real. A tattoo, right about his ass, in large, curling script: Rhaenyra "Oh my god." "That's what I said," Rhaenyra says. Daemon groans. Pieces of the night return to him in flashes: doing that first shot, then another, then another. Several anothers later and they were at a strip club. Somewhere around their third bottle of Veuve Clicquot, Daemon became convinced that he simply must get a tattoo in honor of Rhaenyra. And Laenor and Harwin apparently did nothing to talk him out of it. "What I'd like to know," Rhaenyra says, unable to keep the giddiness from her voice. "Is where you got my signature from? It's a perfect likeness."  That memory returns to him, too. A fragmented image of him waving a dinner receipt around like a lunatic. He sighs loudly. "I had a receipt in my wallet. From when we went to that Dornish restaurant. You paid." Rhaenyra laughs wickedly. "Oh, I can only imagine what it would have looked like had you not had a reference on hand."  "I'm going to kill Harwin," Daemon mutters. Rhaenyra sinks down beside him, stroking him lightly along his spine, careful not to disturb his fresh ink.  "Oh, come now. I rather like it." Daemon turns his head to the side to narrow his gaze at her. "You do not." "I do!" she insists, her eyes sparkling. "It's sweet. You love me so much you're willing to permanently disfigure yourself. Quite romantic, honestly."  Daemon can't help but laugh. "Suppose I'll keep it, then." "Yes, you have to. How else will the whole world know that you're mine?" Daemon reaches out to cup Rhaenyra's face. His beautiful wife. He strokes her cheek, and her smile outshines any other thought or feeling rattling around in his head. "In that case, it's only fair..." he trails off, raising an eyebrow. "What?" "You'll just have to get one to match."

WeLive 230108 | Ming
name WeLive: ming ming birthday party 🧁
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
— GREETING
''Hi, everyone! It's my first time doing a live on Weverse alone.'' Ming looked between the camera and the staff, a bit unsure of what to do next.
''We were busy with GDA, so I couldn't meet you guys on my actual birthday,'' she explained why she's doing the live broadcast two days after her actual birthday, ''but I'm happy we get to do it now.''
— FAN QUESTIONS
Q. Did you receive any gifts from the members?
''Yes, it's a pretty crazy story. When it was midnight, they all came to my hotel room and they were singing 'Happy Birthday' to me. I think it was Seungkwan-oppa who said that they had a collective gift for me, something from all of them. Then, Coups-oppa pulls out this tiny box and I was a bit upset, because it was something from all 13 of them and it was super small.'' Ming copied the size of the box with her hands, showing Carats it wasn't anything big at all.
''I got a bit upset, because like Jihoon-oppa got a guitar and Shua-oppa got a bike, so I thought it would be something big as well. So, I obviously complained to them, but they told me to just open it and stop complaining. I opened it and there were keys inside. At first, I was very confused, because why would they get me keys? But then I saw a certain logo of a car brand (Mercedes-Benz) and they had gotten me a car!'' She told viewers all wide-eyed, remembering the shock she felt once she realised they were car keys.
''I've had my driver's licence for a few years now, but I didn't have a car and recently, I had been talking to the members about getting one. They asked me all kinds of questions about it, like what colour and which brand, etc. I should've known, honestly.'' She laughed, thinking about all the questions they had been asking her the past months.
Q. How is Soomin noona doing? 😊😊
''Soomin is doing good,'' Ming chuckled, ''we celebrated my birthday a bit earlier, before we left to go to Bangkok. We went to karaoke, cause we hadn't done that in a while. It was so much fun.''
Q. Funny episode about GDA? ㅋㅋ
''I don't think I have anything funny or anything,'' she nervously smiled, ''but I did run into a lot of our labelmates, which was fun.''
Q. Did you meet Le Sserafim?
''Yes, yes! I did.'' Ming exclaimed. ''Eunchae got me a gift, it was adorable. I think she was a bit nervous to give it to me, but Yunjin-ah helped her. It was a cute shirt and she also has a shirt like that, so now we have matching shirts. I promised I would buy her food when we were back in Seoul, so I'm gonna contact her one of these days.''
''I also met NewJeans, the youngest member is 9 years younger than me. It's unbelievable, they're practically babies. They were so sweet and full of energy, and they said I was their role model,'' Ming pouted, still feeling touched, ''I'm gonna take care of them well, they're super talented.''
Q. I was sad you didn't get to perform Don Quixote, unnie 🥺
''I know, me too. I didn't get to rehearse with the members, so I wasn't prepared for it. The members did very well, I was very proud watching them.'' She smiled, a proud look on her face.
''I'll be performing with the members soon, my knee has recovered and I want to perform in front of Carats again. It's not nice having to sit backstage every time they perform.''
— TMI
∙ Ming will be appearing in the second season of 'In The Soop’, but her screen time is very limited since she was still sick at the time.
∙ After she complained about the staff posting about BSS on her birthday, Dokyeom was acting sulky because she knew that he wouldn't actually scold her. Ming thought it was very cute of him.
∙ Multiple Carats asked about her reaction to Wonwoo's GDA outfit. She had to look the outfit up on her phone, because she couldn't remember it. She called him handsome and said that many Carats must have liked it.
∙ Coups had gotten upset at the styling team, because they gave Ming heels even though her knee had only just recovered. They would've given her other shoes, but there were only heels left for her. Ming didn't mind the heels, and she thought it was very considerate of him.
— FINAL WORDS
''Thank you for watching my WeLive today. I was very happy to talk to you to celebrate my birthday. I know I said last year I wanted to do more live broadcasts and I didn't keep my word, but I promise to you I'll come online more this new year. I had so much fun. Stay healthy, take care of yourselves and we'll meet soon. Thank you, bye bye!''

TW: REFERENCE TO SH AND RELAPSE OF SH AND SUICIDE ATTEMPT
.

Ok so ik ive been inactive for a *WHILE* and im srry for that but like i have a buncha things that happened these past 3 months that I NEED To share SOOOO....
First things first, the one im most excited abt: I DID MY FIRST PERFORMANCE!!! My school was doing little mermaid jr and I got Scuttle! I was really happy to get my first role and getting at least one solo, and Im just happy overall on how it went! I think I did really good on my first try! Only bad thing was that now im kinda going through my lil mermaid hyperfixation and have been looking up fics where Sebastian and Ariel kinda have a Father/Parental Figure-Daughter or Older Brother-Younger (stupid but ultimately well meaning) Sister dynamic and have started to write a fic on that bc no ones done it before apparently😒(im going cray cray, bonkers mayhaps)
Might've gotten my eye infected(I live in the east of the us, new york to be more specific and woke up the day after the "live vintage (BLAME CANADA/j) filter" with my right eyes nerves slightly more irritated and haven't gotten that checked out so thats fun)
FINALLY finished that one drawing ive been making for 3 MONTHS.(well, technically....)
Almost done writing my passion project, AKA the one I originally wanted to make into an animated series but have settled for a book just in case that can't happen! I still need to work out some kinks, design more outfits, get all their personalities in check, make sure the world and magic is fully fleshed out, ect.
I also do band, and while I originally thought that I would have a problem bc of both band and theatres close scheduling(i originally had dress rehearsal on june 2nd, AND my band concert on June 2nd) but it all worked out in the end! My band concert went great, and while the dress rehearsal was a mess, we at least got through it! :)
Unintentionally quit SH! I was originally only meant to stop until AFTER performances, but ive been bettering myself and learned that if I ever want to forgive myself or at least move on I gotta stop feeling sorry for myself and not forget nor forgive, but remember, i just can't let it haunt me. I know I'll relapse, I always do eventually, but I want to enjoy these few moments of mental "clarity" while I can. I've also learned that for some reason i tend to become a more terrible person and despicable person the more time I spend at home with my mother, so that's fun. God, I hate America's education system, its messed me up BAD. AND the foster care system. I just tried to kms 2 times today, and she didn't even notice, or care. How sad is that?
On a lighter note, yes, as the rest of yt and TikTok, I got a minor lil hyperfixation on the Lorax and really think ppl should make more [PLATONIC] Lorax and Onceler dynamics, mainly the type where they're like some really annoying pair of bickering siblings or a father whos sick of his adopted child's shit, like there is so much on the table for platonic fluff and angst and most of what I've seen is romantic smut and fluff like CHANGE IT UP A LIL
Also, Ive been going to karaoke centers on Tuesdays and have become a lot more confident to performing in front of ppl! So far, I've performed "All You Wanna Do", "The Ballad of Jane Doe", "Heart of Stone", and am gonna do "What the World Needs" the next upcoming Tuesday, where I'm gonna try interacting with the audience while singing!!
(Also, before I end this....I may have ADHD??? my teacher who has ADHD says some of my behavior is "similar to hers"(i feel like thats just her way of saying i reek of neurodivergency) and I also did some research and I display similar/exact behaviors listed, have taken online tests from doctorate confirmed sites and basically all of them said to go get a diagnosis. I also found I do a few behaviors similar to stimming! Also also, I kinda suspect a lil more bc my mom has Autism and apparently sometimes neurodivergency is biological (i forgor the word) but my mom is kinda in denial abt my Depression diagnosis and thinks I got anxiety "biologically", so if I tell her I wanna get tested for ADHD shes just kinda gonna gaslight me into not believing that and i already told the school therapist and basically she just told me that I'm probably just imagining things or copying behaviors from my mother and that "kids like to give themselves all these titles nowadays" so I just did what I always do which is to keep it shut and act until they think you fell in line)
So yeah, thats all! Thanks for reading, now that my schedule is clear again ima start posting more frequently again, so be aware :) <3333

List of Fics Sadie Needs to Write
By Monday I’ll be done with my last fandom project fic obligation, which means I’ll be freed up to pursue my other projects! So here’s a list of projects I’ve wanted to do FOR A WHILE. Feel free to message me if any of these make you want to send the 👀 emoji.
Disco Elysium
ADDED 7/6: lesbian KimHarry based off this incredibly unhinged post I made about it
ADDED 6/18: Harry getting incredibly high off prescribed psychiatric meds and saying the most off the wall indecipherable but clearly romantic shit that he does not remember in the morning and it is driving Kim, self-appointed medication keeper and thus DD, insane. (started brainstorming that with this post)
Kim singing “Crash into Me” karaoke fic (probably with smut) (also might just do a larger series of one shots based off my many songfic ideas)
Klaasje and Ruby reunite after Martinaise and sort out their whole Thing(tm) (lots of talking about feelings and rebuilding trust, maybe a road trip fic)
Harry gets thrown into the Pale and lives his life out with Kim to his death without ever admitting how he feels and when he gets out he finally says something and they kiss about it (This one is actually a lot more horrific than this zany description makes it sound, Dora’s there, Harry watches his life slipping through his fingers for a second time, I am going to do SO MUCH WEIRD FUCKING FORMATTING to indicate the pale breakdown)
Cindy courting Lizzie because that one fanart in the tags rn has me drunk on this rarepair and I’m a slut for a challenge
TGCF
Finish Calamity!Shi Qingxuan au. No it’s not abandoned this year has just sucked.
“What if Shi Qingxuan kept unknowingly flirting with He Xuan’s clones and it makes He Xuan insane” beefleaf fic
That one selkie Beefleaf au (long fic, probably not until I’m done with Black Winds Sweeping Shores)
The [checks hand] sci-fi beefleaf fic I never finished for a bang
Basically this is all beefleaf sorry not sorry probably will be some lesbian smut in here too
Except for the one (1) fic I wanna write about Xie Lian and He Xuan becoming friends(?) during the time Hua Cheng is gone
ADDED 6/18: Reincarnation Beefleaf au that’ll probably be a spin off from the Hualian fic I’m finishing
Weird Crossover BS
TGCF-Revolutionary Girl Utena crossover with Xie Lian as Anthy (YES I WANT TO DO IT I have a whole outline so like!!! I might as well!!!)
MDZS-Disco Elysium crossover where Wei Wuxian fully loses his memory upon waking up as Mo Xuanyu, and also has so many voices talking to him (heavily implied to be restless spirits who grew attached to him)
