✨ mini-series masterlist ✨
Tumblr media
You were a fool to believe nothing could tear you and your best friend apart. Just like in the movies you'd watch for hours, you realized you were not the main character; he was. You were only part of the supporting cast, the best friend–not the one he wanted. Someone else had been occupying his mind, his thoughts, and you guessed you weren't privy to know all of him.
You wondered if you became the villain in his story. Were you the other woman? How could you have known if he never told you? He was your best friend. The one you shared everything with–your hopes, dreams, and even the dumbest little details of your life.
And maybe you expected too much. Maybe you had built a world of sunshine and rainbows and believed no storms could ever weather through. Maybe you cared too much, thinking he felt the same.
But at long last, you had become the girl jealous of Josie–the person who took away your best friend.
Tumblr media
The city you lived in had grown vastly the last time you were here. Multiple lanes were added to the highways, and fields of land were cleared out for new homes, shops, and restaurants to try. Though the only thing on your mind was not bumping into him.
His was the only face you didn't want to run into in a city that felt familiar and unfamiliar. It felt silly. You're a grown woman with a car and an apartment–had bills to pay, and running into one person shouldn't haunt you as it did.
You might have done some detective work, going through old high school friends lists on Facebook and Instagram, lurking to see if he would show up. But as you suspected, he didn't exist on social media, so your chances of seeing him increased in your weird little mind.
The old hangout places were on your no-go list. Remember, you're trying to avoid him. He has not been on your mind every waking second, minute and hour. You weren't wondering how he was doing or if he was okay. He didn't deserve to occupy your mind, take all your energy.
But if you were to bump into him, you had a monologue ready to tell him how he had fucked up your mind, spiked all your insecurities, and hoped he and his stupid little girlfriend lived unhappily ever after. He deserved that, at least.
"Did you see Lillie's Instagram post? The one where a bunch of them were out celebrating Josie's birthday?" Lana asked, sipping on her iced vanilla latte. Lana was another high school best friend who didn't stomp all over your heart.
And regarding Lillie's post, it was hard not to see it when everyone you knew was tagged. Some things never change, you guessed. The same circle of friends, the same drama, the same gossip, but then again, you were sitting with one of your oldest friends.
"Yeah, I saw it."
And you also noticed how Jungkook wasn't in any photos. After doing your detective research and scouring through the internet. He was a ghost, not even showing up in tagged photos. You were hoping to get a glimpse of him in the background, but you hadn't seen a picture of him in years, so you had no idea if he had grown into that big 'ol nose of his or if he had gotten those piercings and tattoos he's always wanted. There was no trace of this man, not even in Josie's pictures.
Last you heard, they were still together, and you always rolled your eyes hard, remembering what Jeon Jungkook did to you. Didn't even have the fucking balls to say it to your face, but in a letter instead.
You suspected it was all Josie's fault. Probably afraid you'd steal him away, or he'd prefer to hang out with you. And you understood, he wasn't your boyfriend or anything, just a friend. Ex-best friend, that is. So you supposed any girl that did like Jungkook would be intimidated by your friendship.
"Have you seen Jungkook at all?"
Lana knew what went down–dropping you like a fly, like you didn't exist. She had teased you like a madwoman because you were crushing hard on his friend, Jimin, and somehow ended up befriending Jungkook.
"Nope," you said flatly.
"So, you know how we always talk about Jungkook being untraceable? I think I found him," she said, pulling out her phone.
Your jaw clenched before huffing out a breath. Lana liked to poke the bear when it came to Jungkook. You knew it wasn't intentional, and there was a part that held onto those painful memories because you weren't over what he did to you. Countless nights of questions and if you could've done anything to save your friendship. Wondering what you did wrong and why he picked Josie instead of you. You thought he had feelings and just didn’t want to act on it.
Lana slid the phone over, her two fingers zooming in on a brightened photo. "It's definitely Jungkook," she pointed to a figure in the background.
You narrowed your eyes as she moved the photo around. Your heart skipped a beat. You'd recognize that nose anywhere. It was him. He wasn't a ghost. There was actual evidence that he existed.
"I searched for more photos, but nothing else came up."
You chuckled. "Of course not. Jeon Jungkook doesn't exist on social media. It was never his thing anyway. It was always Josie who liked the attention."
"As a couple, they make no sense to me. What does he see in her anyway?" Lana pondered, sucking up the last of her latte.
Josie was popular and pretty and did every extracurricular activity known to man. Jungkook was quite the opposite: introverted, kept to himself, played games day and night, yet somehow they still ended up together.
"I don't know. Maybe she has a great personality or something," you answered.
She had everything and could’ve had anyone in the senior class, and something always bothered you about their relationship. You just couldn’t put your finger on it.
Lana could see your despair and decided to change the subject. "What are you doing tonight? Jimin is having a small party and was super excited when I told him you moved back."
You narrowed your eyes, your lips thinned. "What are we? In high school again?"
"Come on, babe. It'll be just like old times. I'll even pick you up. I know you hate driving."
It's only been a week since you've moved back. You didn't even know where all of your cute clothes were. "I have nothing to wear." It was the best excuse you could come up with at the moment.
"I got you. Don't worry about it!"
Fuck—you should've opted for a different excuse.
Tumblr media
"I thought you said this was a small party," you said, wearing a dress that was barely covering your ass. You'd get Lana back for putting you in the tightest dress.
"Trust me, this is small." Lana hooked her arm with yours, dragging you to the kitchen, where Jimin poured several soju bottles and sodas into a pitcher. It was quite the concoction.
“How can he afford this place?” you whispered as you stared at the fancy marbled island and large commercial refrigerator.
Lana shrugged. “I don’t think he lives by himself. Probably has roommates or something.”
"Ladies! You're here!" Jimin squealed, setting down the soju bottle. He hugged Lana before greeting you warmly. "Oh—it's so good to see you!" He wrapped his arms around you, moving you from side to side, digging his chin into your shoulder.
"It's good to see you too, Jimin. You're, um, still quite the host." His parties were all the rage in high school, and now that you look back, you're unsure what you saw in Jimin. He was a good guy, a great dancer, but he partied too much for your taste. Maybe you were shallow and just liked him for his looks.
"I have a reputation to uphold." He wiggled his eyebrows, handing you a shot glass. "I call this little drink 'Soju Sunrise.'" He held his glass, waiting for you to clink it against his.
"Here goes nothing." The glasses clack together, and the mixed liquids go down your throat as smooth as silk. Surprisingly, the cocktail is rather tasty, and you hold out your glass for another round.
"Yes! That's my girl!"
After multiple rounds of Jimin's Soju Sunrise, your body loosened up along with your tongue, being quite the chatterbox to everyone hanging around. The alcohol coursing through your veins made catching up with old friends less dull. Though you wish you could've had a sign plastered to you stating your job, why you were back, and what you've been up to. It would've made your life simpler.
As you exited the bathroom, Lana immediately pulled you into an empty bedroom, closing the door behind her.
"What the fuck, Lana?"
"He's here!" she exclaimed out of breath.
"Who?" Confusion sets on your face.
“He-who-must-not-be-named!”
"Voldemort?" You raised a brow, pouting your lips together.
She struck your head. You scowled, rubbing the spot. Still confused, you think back to the crowded room.
A lightbulb finally goes off. You blame the Soju Sunrise for making you an airhead. "You've got to be kidding me."
"She's here too."
Oh, how you'd rather be clawing your eyes out right now. It would hurt less than facing Jungkook and Josie after all these years.
You had your little monologue prepared and ready to go, but you didn't think you'd have to recite it. Did you even remember what you wanted to say?
You looked around the room and sprinted when you saw a window. Your hands fumbled with the lock, but it was too hard to open.
"What are you doing?" Lana asked, her eyebrows knitted together, watching you struggle.
"I'm gonna climb out the window." It was the only sensible thing to do.
"You're so fucking dramatic."
"It's the only way to avoid them."
Lana grabbed your arms and made you look at her. "You are a grown-ass woman. Put on your big girl panties and walk out that door with your head held high."
"But I don't wanna," you pout. "And I'm wearing granny panties." You lowered your head, staring at your dress, picturing the blush-colored panties with a little bow on the front.
"Granny panties with this dress?"
"What? I couldn't find other ones and I like full coverage." Curse you for not unpacking like you should've been doing.
"Would've been better if you went commando."
"Lana! I have some dignity."
"Do you, though? You won't even leave this room and face the one person who broke your heart."
"Thanks, Lana," you said flatly.
"You're welcome!" she smiled, shaking your body. "Come on. You can do this. I believe in you." You rolled your eyes, staring blankly at her. She scanned you from head to toe, then back up to your chest. "Sweetie, we gotta make sure your tits are stunning." She dragged down the top of the dress, ensuring the swells of your breasts were peeking through.
"Lana, I'm not trying to seduce the guy." Okay—maybe you developed a crush on him, but it's not like you were going to make a move, he had a girlfriend for fuck’s sake.
"Yeah, who cares? We're trying to make Josie jealous."
"This is so high school," you comment, digging through your purse for your lipstick.
"Your point is?" Lana blinked.
You huffed. Okay—fine. If this were the only time you'd see Jeon Jungkook and Kim Josie, then fuck it. You could pretend everything was great for five minutes. Your hand went underneath your dress, tugging off your granny panties and tossing them on the ground.
"Holy shit—going commando too?" Lana squealed and clapped excitedly.
Hiking your dress up just a smidge, you were ready to smile and lie through whatever this dreaded conversation would bring up, probably old feelings of hurt and regret.
Tumblr media
You hooked your arm through Lana's, with your shoulders back and head held high. This was it. After all this time, you would face the son-of-a-bitch who broke your heart and the cruel witch who took him away.
You had class—at least, you hoped you did. So, you'd play it cool, be calm and collected. Pretend like you had your shit together.
That is until you turned the corner and immediately spotted them snuggled up in the corner. Josie looked like a lovesick puppy all over him. Jungkook, not so much.
You clutched Lana's arm tighter and came to a halt. You repeated your short monologue in your brain from the bedroom to the living room, but it was as if your mind had wiped everything and your brain's connectors were short-circuiting.
Your eyes glistened as you watched the two. Josie sat on his lap, arms wrapped around his neck, kissing him. Your lower lip quivered, and your stomach sank. You weren't sure if you needed to hurl because of them or because of the soju. Perhaps both.
Jungkook pulled away from her grasp, seemingly annoyed by her show of affection. As soon as he turned away from her, his eyes landed on you.
You flashed a small smile and a wave of your hand. Who knew seeing Jungkook would make you feel the complete opposite of the narrative you had created? In your head, he was a heartless best friend who left you for a wicked witch, but here he was in the flesh and was just that big-nosed, doe-eyed boy whom you shared everything with. You missed him so much and wanted to catch up on life like no time had passed.
Lana turned to you. "Hey, what happened to the bad bitch persona? Aren't you gonna tell him off?"
"I'm so stupid, Lana. I can't do this." So much anger had been building up within the last seven years, but underneath that anger was just a girl who was heartbroken.
Lana nudged you in the ribs. You two watched as he pushed Josie off his lap, causing her to frown. You attempted to let go, but she pulled you in as Jungkook beelined toward you.
"Oh, my god! Jeon Jungkook in the flesh?" Lana said in a dramatic tone. "You do exist! I can't believe it. Well, I'm going to find myself another drink! Have fun catching up with your bestie!" She punched Jungkook's shoulder hard, and he scowled and flinched, massaging the spot.
You pressed your lips together, unsure what to say to him. It's been seven years since you last saw him. Once you graduated from high school, you were out of each other's hair. You were off to college a few hours away, and he stayed in town to attend a local university.
Jungkook cut off all forms of communication. It was like your friendship ceased to exist, which hurt you the most. The last thing you received from him was a measly little letter explaining that he was with Josie and that she didn't want you coming in between their relationship.
You couldn't understand why Jungkook couldn't just talk to you. Josie was never mentioned in conversations, nor did you see him with her, so it felt out of left field. If Jungkook told you he liked someone, you'd never stand in the way of his happiness. You thought he knew you better than that, but maybe you were wrong. Maybe you didn't know each other at all.
"I thought I'd never see you again," Jungkook said, the corners of his mouth curving into a warm smile.
You only paid attention to the glow-up Jungkook had. He did get the lip piercings he wanted, along with the tattoos. You could see them peeking through underneath his gray hoodie hanging off his shoulder. The white tank top defined his taut chest, letting you know he liked to work out. His damp hair curled in all the right places against the nape of his neck and his forehead. The silver chain adorning his neck looked pretty enough to tug on.
"You look great, by the way," Jungkook added, breaking you out of your daze.
"Oh, thanks. So do you." You manage to squeak out finally; then you remember how provocative you looked in your dress compared to sweet, innocent, looking Josie in her pink floral sundress, who was making their way toward you.
"Jungkook, can we please get a drink?" Josie whined, giving you the once over before latching onto Jungkook like the leech she was.
"You remember—"
Josie interrupted, "Yeah–don't remind me. Can we go?"
Josie stormed off toward the kitchen, leaving you and Jungkook behind. Did he have any say in their relationship, or did she tug him around like a puppy on a short leash?
You're stunned but not surprised by her remark. Once a bitch, always a bitch.
Turning your attention back to him, you realize you have nothing to say. The scars from this friendship were carved deeply into your heart; not even the monologue you rehearsed could dissipate the pain he caused.
"I—I gotta go," you said, taking off toward the bedroom because you couldn't fucking leave your underwear on a random stranger's floor. You had to save whatever dignity you had left.
"Wait—" He tried to grab your attention and followed you, walking through the hallway toward a room. He watched you go from one end of the room to the other, searching for something. "What are you doing in my room?"
You straighten your posture, slowly turning to him. "This is your room?"
"Yeah, Jimin and I share this place along with another friend.”
Oh, now you were going to fucking kill Lana. She knew. She must have! That's why she wanted to bring you here. And out of all the rooms, you had to pick Jeon Jungkook’s to leave your underwear in?
"Great," you said in exasperation. You turned back around in search of your panties. "Where the fuck is it?" It could only be in so many places.
"Where's what?"
You got down on your hands and knees, tugging your dress down, looking underneath the bed for your granny panties. "Nothing," you grumbled. "Fuck it. Forget it." You stood, walking past Jungkook. He could have your underwear as a keepsake, you suppose.
"Hey—" He gripped your arm. "Come on. This is how you greet me after all this time?"
You scoffed, glaring at him. "You're fucking kidding me, right? You're lucky I'm even speaking to you. You don't even deserve that."
He lets go of your arm. "We kind of ended on a sour note, but it wasn't my fault."
He couldn't see it, but smoke was fuming from your ears, and you wished your death glare could burn through him and maybe even through Josie. How fucking dare he put all the blame on you? And for what exactly? You might add that you did nothing but be his friend, and he ghosted you like you meant nothing to him.
"So it's my fault?" You assumed he was placing the blame on you. "How is it my fault? Please enlighten me, Jungkook."
He quieted down, cowering his head.
"You showed up holding hands with Josie, then proceeded to not talk to me like a human being and instead wrote me a fucking letter like the coward you are. A letter, for fucks sake. You could've had the common decency to say it to my face."
You walked out of language class, and there they were, hand in hand as you idly watched from behind. And he didn’t even hand you the letter. He had stuffed it in your locker.
Your words took him aback. His recount of how everything went down was different from yours. "I'm sorry," he said. His eyes flicked to yours before looking away.
"Well, it's too fucking late for apologies."
Jungkook called out to you, and you didn't look back, storming away from him. You passed by Lana, telling her you were leaving and that you'd talk to her later.
You ran out the front door, stopping at the sidewalk's edge, remembering that Lana drove. "Fuck," you grumbled, pulling out your phone to grab an Uber.
You were stupid to think Jeon Jungkook wouldn't affect you after all these years. Maybe it's because you haven't dealt with feeling abandoned by him. Maybe you wished you did more for your friendship. Whatever the reason, you knew moving back wasn't a good idea because you’d have to deal with this.
"Hey!" Jungkook called out. You looked over your shoulder and continued walking. He ran in front of you to grab your attention. "Can you talk to me?" he asked, stuffing his hands in the pocket of his hoodie.
"Why don't you fucking write me a letter? Since you're so good at that," you mocked as you shuffled around him. He was a shitty writer who could barely pass Creative Writing without your help.
"That's not fair."
You scoffed, stopping in your tracks to turn back to him. "Run back to your little girlfriend. Don’t you have to get her approval first before talking to me?"
"She's not my girlfriend."
You tut. "Yeah–okay." That was hard to believe, considering she was all over him.
"She's not. We haven't been together for a while now," Jungkook explained.
"You looked pretty cozy earlier."
Jungkook looks at the ground, kicking around an invisible rock. "It's complicated."
"That's great, Jungkook, but I really don't want to hear about your relationship problems. Good luck with Josie and in life. You two deserve each other." You pulled out your phone to see if the Uber was arriving.
Crossing your arms, you walked back toward Jimin's place. You wish you pinned the pick-up location somewhere else, but you'd have to endure his presence longer.
Jungkook followed, giving you some space, stopping when you did. His eyes raked over you. His dimple appeared and disappeared as he licked his lips and chewed on the inside of his cheek.
"When you got your acceptance letter to college, and you decided you were leaving, you didn't bother to ask about what I thought," he said, hands still in his pocket, staring at the ground. Your eyes flickered to him before looking away. He softly chuckled, "I thought to myself, what would I do without my best friend? I had nothing going for me, didn't even know what I wanted to do—still don't know what I want to do. And as much as you make me out to be the bad guy in your story, there are a lot of things you don't know."
You turned away from him as your eyes began to well up. You didn't want to cry before him, rehashing things from so long ago. You let out a shaky breath, trying to contain your emotions.
"Why didn't you say anything?" you asked, using the back of your hand to wipe away the snot threatening to fall.
He shrugged. "I don't know. I would never want to keep you from something that made you happy," he admitted.
You were always open with each other, so you're unsure why this one thing made it seem like he couldn't be honest with you.
"Tell me one thing."
Jungkook hummed.
"Why didn't you tell me about Josie?" It was the one question that lingered since you received his letter.
His lips thinned. "Honestly?" You nodded. "It all happened so quickly. Jimin was throwing a party that night when you told me about going off to college, and I was in my head, overthinking everything. And Josie was there, being sweet and comforting me, and I don't know what came over me. I just kissed her to make myself feel better. Then, the next day at school, she took my hand and told everyone we were together."
"So, let me get this straight? I told you I'm going off to college. You get upset, kiss Josie because you were mad about me leaving, and then end up in a relationship with her?"
"Well, when you put it that way, it sounds ridiculous."
You turned to him, hitting him across the chest several times. He held his hands up to block you. "Because Jeon Jungkook, it is ridiculous! God–you're such—a—" you groaned. "Do you know how much you hurt me? We could've avoided all this if you had just talked to me. Life could've been different for us. You could've come with me, and then we could've been together."
"Together?" He stared at you with his starry brown eyes.
"Yes, you dummy! I liked you, if you couldn't tell. I was going to tell you, but then you and Josie happened, and well, you know how the rest of the story goes."
You closed your eyes and let out a long-awaited breath. It felt like a weight was lifted off your shoulders, getting all this out in the open. You weren't expecting Jungkook to do anything to make you feel better, but at least he could hear what you wanted to say after all these years.
Your uber pulled up and you opened the door, holding onto it as you looked at Jungkook. A glimpse of the boy you once knew still lingered in his eyes. If you could go back and do it all over again, you would've fought harder for him, fought for what the two of you had. It was too precious of a friendship to let go just like that. Unfortunately, life didn't work that way.
There were no forms of time travel or alternate dimensions where the two of you could've lived happily ever after, and there were only the choices you made here and now.
"Bye, Jungkook."

IGNITING OUR LOVE
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
deciding to give each boy a chance, you fueled their need for friendly competition. between woonhak and jaehyun, they both put on a show to see who impresses their lady the most. however even after going on a proper date with each boy, there's something you're still unsure about. RACE TO YOUR HEART series
PAIRING woonmyungz x fem!reader WC 5.4k TAGS adults dni. racecar driver au. no poly relationship. mentions of toxic relationship. fluff. seperate dates. lowk crackfic. very unserious at times. kidnapping jokes. TAGLIST @skullverse OMI NOTE this turned out way fucking longer than i anticipated it to be omg. this is like a summer with you all over again. (it'll get worse as time flies by.. i have a few long ones up my sleeve)
Tumblr media
fiddling with the hem of your skirt, you waited on the curb of your culdesac for a familiar boy to drive down the road. it had been two weeks since woonhak and jaehyun initially asked you out on a date. they maneuvered the timing around one another, leaving you with woonhak today and jaehyun tomorrow. 
there was an unfamiliar feeling in your chest, exploring into the deepest depths of your heart. so sweet it could give you cavities, yet sour enough to make you flinch. it wasn’t everyday you went on back to back dates. but in a way, you were somehow thriving. everything got so much easier when you started opening up more, so you became positive that tonight would be fun, as well as the following day.
as you waited, you remembered back to the phonecall you had with your friend explaining every little detail to her. how they found you that day, and how you decided to spend the next with them, only for both boys to ask you out on a day. shocked was an understatement, she almost flipped her shit in the best way possible. despite the undying love she had for woonhak, she was considerate of your feelings and thought it was ‘cupid blessing you with love.’
a blessing in disguise, yet as the clock ticked you became queasy. peaking over the houses at the end, a car drove into your neighborhood that you didn’t recognize. you weren’t expecting woonhak to show up in his race car, so you kept your hopes high that it was.
the window rolled down, revealing the smiley boy that you were expecting to see. he was dressed casually, with a sweater vest over a plain white tee and some jeans. the outfit you were wearing was just a plain skirt with a shirt, so you were thankful that he went casual as well.
“hey! you look– you look really cute!” he spoke out the window, clicking the button to unlock the door to the front seat.
“thank you..!” you blush, buckling yourself in, “um i don’t think you told me where we were going yet? you’re not going to kidnap me are you?”
“oh my gosh– of course not! i probably should’ve asked before, but that’s just my terrible planning. are you okay with roller coasters? or just amusement parks in general?” hints of worry lace his tone, but you nod in response.
“i don’t mind them at all! i’ll try everything for the first time so, don’t even give it a second thought!” you smile softly.
“perfect. i promise you’ll have fun!” he steps on the gas, carrying the two of you out of your neighborhood and towards the destination.
“i don’t doubt that for a second.” 
the car drove smoothly against the road, every house and building passing by into a colorful blur. everything about the atmosphere was calming, a playlist running quietly in the background to ease your thoughts. 
a comfortable silence washed over the two of you. no words were spoken, but it was nice. woonhak moved his hand over the dial to turn up the volume on the song that was currently playing. the volume stays stable throughout the rest of the car ride.
when you guys pulled into the busy parking lot, all of the rides looked much larger in person, making your eyes go big. there were long, colorful rollercoasters, as well as dropper rides, and ones that would swing around in circles. 
“excited? my favorite is that one right there!” woonhak leans over the center console to point at one of the rollercoasters.
“you’ve been here before?” you question, looking at his face which is only inches from yours. 
taken aback, he quickly pulls away, “oh– yeah! i actually came here with my friend taesan not too long ago, but it was super packed so we couldn’t get on that one..”
“hope– hopefully the line isn’t super long! we should go!” you stutter out shyly. 
“yeah, let’s!” he rushedly opens the door as you do as well, getting out of the car.
“do we need to purchase tickets at the front?” you ask, walking alongside him to the entrance.
“i already bought them so we just need to go through and have the person scan them.” he hands you a piece of paper with a barcode on the side.
“okay, cool! i’ll pay you back when i get home!”
“are you serious, i’m not letting you pay for anything today! it’s all on me, okay?” he insists as you near the entrance.
“what?! these tickets are probably expensive, it’s only right i pay you back.” you furrow your eyebrows, and he just ruffles your hair.
“i’ll block your number if you try to send me money, it’s my day to treat and get to know you more.” he argues, not taking no for an answer.
“you suck, i’m paying next time.” you give in, flattening your hair.
“are you already planning for our next date?” he smiles joyfully.
“what– no! well i mean? shut up!” you groan, “i’m not just go on a strike from hanging out with you, it doesn’t have to be a date!”
“i’m still going to be delusional tonight and tell jae you said that.”
“you’re already insufferable.” you joke, entering through the gates of the amusement park behind him.
while there was a lot of people, it was nothing according to woonhak. the sun was bright on your face, making you thankful that you wore sunscreen. there was a multitude of activities to do, as well as some fair - esque games.
despite it being bright out, the different colored lights on the rollercoasters and booths were still prominent. you were impressed by how nice this park was, having not been to it before. woonhak held out a hand to you , scratching the back of his neck nervously. you gingerly accept, remembering the only other time you held hands with him was very sudden, with less romantic intent.
he intertwines his fingers with yours, leading you around and pointing at different things the two of you together. though you said you didn’t have much of a preference, he wanted to find something you enjoyed. in the end, you decided on some bumper cars that didn’t have much of a line.
“i can just never escape driving, can i?” he lets out an exaggerated sigh, clipping in his seatbelt like the operator told him to.
“you said you’d do whatever i wanted to!” 
“i’m kidding, i just want you to have fun!”
“then let me have my fun by pushing you into a wall.” you smile, moving your car backwards before pressing the gas forward to push woonhak.
“hey! you’re not going to get away with that!” he yells as you scurry away.
the two of you chase after each other in your cars, the bumpers becoming worn out from colliding with one another. laughter fills the mini arena. the antenna on the back of your vehicle shook every time he came in contact with you.
however, the fun was short lived as you had a time limit to ride, before giving up your spot to the next person. that idea never stopped either of you from having a lot of fun.
“i– i can’t breathe oh my gosh you kept making me laugh!” you pant.
“it was my number one distraction technique.” he brags, brushing imaginary dust off his shoulders.
“yeah but you probably gave me whiplash, so you’re paying for my surgery.” you shove his side lightly.
“are we going to pretend like you didn’t knock me into tomorrow?! how am i supposed to drive when i can’t even move my head ninety degrees!” 
“you’re dramatic, i’m not as strong as you are!”
“bro we were in cars? it doesn’t even matter if i’m stronger than you.” he rolls his eyes before instinctively putting an arm around your shoulder.
the action made you feel small against him, immediately shutting up your friendly bickering. he pretended not to notice, but was fearful that you were uncomfortable with him. was it too sudden? should he have given you a high five or something?
in an attempt to move his arm away, he taps lightly on your skin to play it off. what he didn’t expect was for you to raise your hand up to his and place it atop, stopping him from moving away. a smile appeared on his face as he continued walking with you through the large crowds.
you admired the scenery around you, woonhak watching your eyes dart to anything and almost everything. a pallet of different smells combined together and waffed in and out of your nose. looking at all of the different booths and food stands, your eyes light up upon seeing an arrangement of ice cream flavors on a big sign.
“a little birdie is telling me that ice cream sounds pretty good right now.” woonhak meets your gaze as you try to hold back your excitement.
“that little birdie and i have something in common, i think we might be twins. maybe soulmates?” you grin as he walks the both of you over to the line.
“on second thought, that was my original idea and i take full credit for it!”
“sorry woon i’m only into birds now.”
“fumbling to a bird is somehow worse than to jaehyun.” 
“ouch, you gonna take that kim woonhak?” 
“don’t hit me up, i’m too busy trying to decide what i want out of these thirty different flavors” he puts his free hand up to your face, and you only punch his palm lightly in return.
“speaking of flavors, that snickers one actually looks really good.” you say, drooling at the thought.
“woah! they have a rainbow flavor..?” he points out, sounding more like a question.
“have you never had rainbow sherbert before?” you wonder out loud.
“no, sorry, i don’t fuck with eating frozen unicorn shit.” he says blankly, but immediately smiles after.
“you’re missing out it’s kind of peak.” 
“then how about you get it and i’ll try some of yours?” he holds out his hand.
“fine, i suppose i’ll take one for the team so you can try your stupid rainbow sherbert.” you kick pretend rocks, before shaking his hand.
once you get up to the window, woonhak orders the ice cream for the both of you. he ends up ordering rocky road, while you get the rainbow sherbert for him to try. you can see the soft ice cream dispensing from the machine behind the worker. 
after waiting patiently, but not for too long, two cups of the fresh dessert you were yearning for was placed in front of you with a spoon and a ‘have a good day!’ you and woonhak thanked the worker and searched around for a place to sit. a shaded spot that wasn’t very busy was decided on, so you both sat down next to one another.
“okay, be ready to have your life changed!” you inform woonhak, dipping your spoon into a corner of the ice cream. 
“are– are you going to feed it to me?” he asks, blush washing over his cheeks.
“i was going to but um– if you don’t want me to i don’t have–”
“no! it’s fine. you’re fine. i mean– ah?” he gives up on stumbling over his words, gaping his mouth open slightly for you to deliver the soft treat to him.
“yo, you might be right. unicorn shit isn’t half bad!” he jokes.
“woonhak you need to get a grip before i ditch you on this date.”
“hey! you love hanging out with me! don’t deny it.” he frowns, licking any excess ice cream from his lips.
“okay maybe you got me, but i’ll leave in a heartbeat.” you fake threaten, watching him become smiley again.
“you know, i’m surprised you went through with this whole date in the first place.” he commented, “you’re too pretty to be single..”
“well, i wasn’t exactly single. didn’t jaehyun tell you?” you could of swore he already knew about your ex.
“not a single word!”
“shit uh.. you see when mommy and daddy love each other, but things don’t go exactly as planned–”
“bro i’m not that much younger than you, a few months at best!” he complained, watching you giggle at his reaction.
“okay okay, i did date someone in the past. and he kind of fucked me up like, really bad? i don’t think i gave jae the full sob story but..” you explain, the change in your tone becoming evident, “he was very manipulative, and i stuck through every little bullshit story he plotted into my head. there was no way he actually loved me, more like the idea of me. so two months later, and boom i’m at this race trying to get my head in the game.”
“like troy bolton?” his question raises your mood slightly.
“yes, like troy bolton.
“i’m so fucking sorry you had to go through that, there’s no way he deserved someone as funny and kind as you. it’s his loss.” woonhak shrugged, moving his hand slightly closer to yours until your pinkies touched.
“nah, don’t mention it. everything is finally starting to get better. and not to be sappy or anything, but you and jae have been such awesome people to hang out with. definitely made the process a lot smoother in the end.” you sigh, trying to shake off the depths of the conversation you were having.
“i’m um.. i’m glad you trust me enough to tell me these things. i’ll always be here, you know?” he mumbles, almost coming out like a whisper. despite the large crowds amongst you, it felt like it was only you and woonhak in that exact moment.
“thank you, woon. you’re sweet.” you compliment him, taking a portion from your ice cream to try it on your own. 
“you kind of missed your mouth a bit.” he laughs.
he moved his hand to the corner of your lip, gently wiping off whatever you had gotten on your face. his touch lingers for a moment too long. you already begin to feel the heat building up in your cheeks, something you haven’t felt in quite awhile.
woonhak had always been very gentle with you besides his chaotic persona. both jaehyun and woonhak have. and for the two weeks they’ve known you, you could tell that they thrived on taking care of others, especially each other; even whenever things got a little crazy in the group chat you had formed with the two of them. that’s what you admired most about their dynamic, nothing was too serious.
when he pulled his hand away from your lips, you missed the touch of his hand against your face. he tried to brush it off with a nervous chuckle, going back to the dessert in front of him. it was like nothing had happened, but the burning sensation in his chest showed that everything happened.
the rest of the day with woonhak continued like normally. there were a numerous amount of things for the both of you to do, and it felt like you got around to a decent amount of it. your feet hurt from walking around so much, but it was all worth it in the end. 
going on large scary rides that you were intimidated by, just to have the time of your life, eating so many sweets til your stomach hurt, and watching the fireworks light up the sky into a beautiful portrait of sparks. each second spent next to woonhak made you forget about every other worry, every other little thing. it was a sweet date the two of you shared, and you wouldn’t take it for granted.
but the hole in your stomach was no secret, because as you sit in woonhak’s car while he drives you home, you became scared for the date you’d have with jaehyun. was it so terrible to share such a meaningful time with woonhak, and share something so similar with his best friend the next day?
it was difficult to believe they were okay with this, and you still didn’t understand just quite. though you tried your very best to think on the bright side of things. you’d have just as much fun with jae and whatever he had planned, and it was okay if you felt strongly over one date than the other. because at the end of the day, you had to pick.
the sudden halt of the car brought you back to earth, woonhak putting his car in park and looking over to you. street lights from outside barely illuminated the expression on your face, but he knew that you were beautiful.
“today was really great, y/n. thank you for letting me take you out.” he murmured, not wanting to let you leave just yet.
“no, thank you. i really enjoyed myself, you made everything perfect.” you assure him, letting one of your hands rest on the door handle, and the other in your lap.
“text me photos and everything later, okay?”
“got it. i’ll see you later woon.” you tell him goodbye, stepping out of his car into the coolness of the night. before you start walking away, you hear the window roll down.
“do me a favor, please?” he yells out to you, making you turn your head, “have fun with jae tomorrow, i’ll be waiting for you.”
you could only nod in response before he begins to drive back down your street and out of your view. the tired in your eyes became evident as you walked up to your porch, unlocking your front door to bask in the comfortability of your home. 
whatever was in store for you tomorrow, you didn’t want to think about it for now. because in your dreams for tonight, it was only you and woonhak.
when you woke up in the morning to greet the world, it had selfishly turned its back on you. it was not in fact sunshine, rainbows, and butterflies, but in fact just the deathly sun burning you like an stove in your own bedroom. today was significantly hotter than it had been yesterday, but it was all in fun of the summer. what that told you initially was that today was going to be interesting.
you hurried yourself to get ready, slipping on an outfit that would help you battle the humid weather. a lot of things ran through your mind like wild fire as you prepared for your second date. the buzz of your phone getting notifications vibrated your vanity. finishing up as soon as you could, you sent jaehyun a message to let him know you were on your way outside.
similar to yesterday, you genuinely had zero clue what he had planned. there were only so many date ideas you could think of off the top of your head, only increasing your curiosity as you stepped down the stairs. you checked your appearance quickly on your phone before heading out the door, seeing his car parked right in front of your house.
“jae!” you wave, as he unlocks the doors for you to let yourself in.
“hi, y/n! you look really pretty, hard to find a good outfit for the weather?” he grins at you, starting to drive as soon as you’re all situated.
“can you imagine? my wardrobe is built for winter so i tried my best. guess i pulled it off then.” you replied, excitement and nervousness coursing through your veins. 
“i can always get my friend taesan to customize you some pieces if you’re ever running low on something for your wardrobe. he’s really talented so me and woon are always wearing his stuff.” he takes one hand off the wheel to point to his shoes that looked painted.
“those do look cool! might have to cop me a pair.. is taesan free tomorrow?” you joke as jaehyun just rolls his eyes dramatically.
“hey man, this is our date, let me gatekeep you just for today!” he whines.
“our date, yet i’m your man?” you quirk up an eyebrow, stifling your laughter.
“i don’t judge, woonhak is basically my man baby in disguise.” 
“myung jaehyun you are absolutely foul with these woon - baby jokes, he complained about them all day yesterday and i could not stop laughing.” you cross your arms, pretending to be serious.
“i can’t help it! he’s my baby and i stand by that until i die.” he responds, twisting and turning down the road.
“oh by the way, where are we going? you never really told me anything in our texts?” you remember to ask him.
“right! i wanted to keep it a surprise, so you’ll see when we get there.” he winks.
“god, it’s me again. is this how i get kidnapped and tied up in a basement where i’m lead to my ultimate doom?” you pray out loud, earning a chuckle from the boy next to you.
“i’m not going to steal you away, we’re almost there anyways.” he points in the direction of a large building, “see, it’s right there!”
“jae.. is that an aquarium?”
“they have games there too.”
“be right back i need to text woonhak that i’m emotionally unavailable for the rest of my life.”
jaehyun flashed you another smile, glad that you’re content with his choice of date. it was a secret to you that he was panicking last minute the night before. why did every remotely cool place have to be closed off for that specific day?
he pulled the car into a parking space closest to the entrance, though it wasn’t long before you were leaping around with excitement. your bag gently hit against your hip as you walked up ahead of him with a pep in your step. jae quickly pulled out his phone and took a couple instagram - worthy photos that he’d send to you later.
blue lighting immediately fell over the two of you like a comfy blanket, a numerous amount of fish able to be spotted from where you were standing. you stood awe - struck at the colorful water creatures that float around in their tanks while jaehyun paid for tickets.
“okay, what do you want to do first?” he hands you a ticket that you put in your pocket.
“can we go check that out? i don’t know what it is but it looks huge and i kind of want to pet it.” you move your arm into the crook of his, intertwining them together so you can lead him where you want to. 
“let us run wherever thee wants, you can take thou wherever you please, madam.”
“sorry shakespeare i want jaehyun back so i can talk to him about these cute fishies.” you frown.
“my bad that slipped out. i do that sometimes whenever my friend leehan talks about fish! i honestly wouldn’t be surprised if hes lurking around here somewhere..” he looked around suspiciously.
“you have some very interesting friends from what i’ve heard.” you think to yourself.
“don’t get any ideas or else you’ll hurt my feelings.” he purses his bottom lip.
“eww don’t do that in front of the fish, they’ll think you’re mocking them!” you point to a pink one swimming around, “look at this one! i think it’s crying.”
“underwater?”
“yes, underwater. you can tell it’s eyes are glossy.”
“..underwater?”
“i’m going to leave your ass in the dirt, jaehyun. let me live my teenage girl life looking at bright pink fish that i’m headcanoning with emotions.” 
“you are actually the cutest person ever.” he sighs, looking closely at whichever little straggler you were staring at.
“hh–” you look away from the tank, blushing at his sudden compliment.
“i like this one.” he points at an extremely puffy fish.
“aw, it looks like it just had a hardy meal. it’s puffing out its cheeks all big!” you gasp, leaning your face closer to the glass to get a better look.
“speaking of food, are you hungry at all?” he questions you.
“hmm, i’m not very hungry at the moment, but i can always eat! i might have to tucker myself out if i’m going to have a full meal though.”
“well.. they do have a game spot for all the little kids that we could totally go check out if you’re in for a challenge.” he mentioned.
“am i about to bust your ass in underwater themed dance dance revolution?” you bet.
“no, because it’s regular themed dance dance revolution, just with shark stickers all over it.” 
“don’t test me jae.”
“okay! okay, i sincerely apologize for my actions, i will admit to being the biggest loser on the planet.” he pats your back.
“the apology was a five out of ten, you need a ukelele and it might be slightly better.” you shrug, arm still intertwined with his.
you let him lead you to the supposed game area that he had his eyes on. it wasn’t the biggest attraction ever, since it was an aquarium, not an arcade, but there was still a decent amount to do. a couple of small children littered around playing games and sitting with their parents. taking a brief look around, it was mainly educational things to keep children engaged with underwater wild life
“you lied to me! they don’t even have ddr.” you complain.
“no, but they have frogger!”
“yeah, and a bunch of educational puzzles about stuff i already know.”
“okay then go and name every fish species in the ocean right this second.” he taps his foot impatiently.
“on second thought, educational puzzles are super fun!” you switch up, smiling unnaturally wide.
“see, don’t sleep on learning new information, y/n. that’s how you become wise like me.” he pokes at his temple.
“oh, right here?” you place your finger on his forehead as he nods, before you quickly flick your fingers against his skull.
“ow!”
“ah, i get it now. the more hollow it sounds the smarter you are. i must be a dumbass then.”
“ha ha very funny. we have an entire aquarium to explore! this place is for children like woonhak, i think they have exhibits where you can pet the fish? kind of like sea world i guess.” he rambles, yet keeps you intrigued.
“sounds like a better idea, let’s go look around.” you exclaim, grabbing onto his hand instead of intertwining arms. 
exploring the depths of the ocean, as jaehyun would say, was fun as well as stress inducing. running around hand in hand with him was always interesting, and there were so many different fishes to look at. putting it simply by saying you ‘had fun’ was a complete understatement.
you both often compared the fishes funny faces to people you knew, and jae was getting a kick out of it especially. even though woonhak wasn’t there, he was there in spirit with the hundreds of fish the two of you named after him to get a quick giggle. not only that, you poked fun at one another in the exact same way. a puffer fish a couple tanks down was named jaehyun, and it’s cute mate was named y/n.
catching glimpses of anything and everything, it had felt like you explored the entire building. though besides the funny moments you shared together, the atmosphere itself was romantic. jaehyun thought you looked prettiest under this lighting, when the darkness of the tunnel you were both in meant he could barely make out your facial features, but he just had the feeling in his gut you looked ethereal.
exchanging glances often, the blush never left one anothers cheeks. the day was coming to an end, something that you were dreading especially tonight. you attempted to forget about the decisions you’d have to make, and just bask in the warmth of being with him.
“i don’t want to leave yet.” he looked sad, swinging your arms back and forth.
“i have a curfew you know, but i don’t want to go either.” you reminded him.
“actually, i have an idea. come with me!” he leads you around the corner into a gift shop, where they have a large selection of merchandise to choose from.
“ooo, sea stuff!”
“pick out anything, and i’ll buy it for you.” he offers, pulling his wallet out of his pocket.
“oh my gosh, does this mean i’m your sugar baby?” you hinted, nudging him with your elbow.
“does that give me brownie points?”
“i’ll think about it.”
“then you can interpret my answer however you please.” he declared, “now pick out something, they have a lot of cute stuffed animals here.”
“this seal has been eyeing me since we came in here, i don’t know.. it looks pretty cute.” you pick up the fluffy creature and poke at its eyeballs.
“i don’t think it’s going to be able to eye you anymore after that one.” he gulped.
“even better. i choose this one!” you hold it in front of his face as he takes it from you.
“what if i told you i forgot my wallet and you actually have to buy it yourself?” he non discreetly hides his wallet behind his back.
“shucks! guess i have to nuke the planet, because i would die if you didn’t have your wallet.”
“you’re so dumb.” he laughs, taking the stuffed seal up to the register to pay.
“you’re the one that likes me though, so who’s losing here?” you retorted.
“not me! you’ll like me eventually, maybe? if i try hard enough.” he takes the receipt from the cashier and thanks them, handing you the stuffed animal.
“for starters, this seal might have.. sealed the deal.” you do a dramatic wink, following him back out to the car.
“i might have to sit back for that one..”
“stop it, don’t lie! it was kind of funny. i just came up with it on the spot.”
“y/n, get in the car and i’ll show you some real comedy.” he clicks the lock on his car, opening the door.
“is the joke where you kidnap me and tie me up, then it turns into one of those cop shows?” you ask, putting on your seatbelt.
“i don’t know, let’s find out!” he claimed.
the ride home was just as entertaining as the date, jaehyun constantly saying something he thinks it funny, just for you to not laugh as revenge. it went on like this for awhile, but you always gave into him. when the tone quiet down, and all you could hear is music playing from the aux, you got a chance to reminisce about the day you had.
jaehyun was a very genuine person, always sweet and able to joke about everything. it felt like you were able to connect with him very quickly. on top of that, he got you a cool stuffed seal to keep as a souvenir on your bed.
when you pulled back into your culdesac, you knew it was time to say goodbye and thank him for the day. after unbuckling yourself and collecting your bag on the floor, you give him a soft smile.
“it was a really lovely day today, thank you so much, jaehyun!” you thank him.
“of course, i had a lot of fun too.” he leaned an arm on the center console, almost admiring you as you thanked him.
“and thank you for the stuffed animal, i’m not sure what i want to name it yet. you should text me ideas!” you recommend.
“cute, i will definitely make sure to. you make sure to text me later too, okay?” his words almost stopped your world for a second, as the integrity of the situation was weighing on you once again.
“y– yes! yes i will. i’ll see you later, jae!” you hurry out of his car and wave him goodbye. as soon as he’s down the street, you sit yourself down on the curb to think for a second.
you had to choose between these two boys, and the weight was becoming extremely heavy on your shoulders. it felt almost impossible, but you swore that one of them pulled you in a little more than the other. all you needed was time to think.
woonhak planned a very wonderful date, and you had a lot of fun on it. jaehyun also planned a wonderful date, which was what conflicted you the most. was it the place they took you, or how it felt to spend time with each of them?
though your mind was still reeling, you scrambled around in your bag for your car keys with an idea in your head of where you wanted to go. just a fifteen minute drive and a phone call. that’s all you needed.

Neteyam x poc!reader
summary ; when the two people you love the most die and you cant do anything to save them
warning; angst, hurt , I might have cried a little
You didn’t think the war was coming this fast , but it did and there’s no turning back. You were scared the most for your family, mostly Neteyam and your father.
I don't wanna talk right now
I just wanna watch TV
They were everything to you, the wings that made you fly to the highest mountain, the creativity in your brain when you created tops for the village . You just couldn’t lose them, you wouldn’t know what to do.
I'll stay in the pool and drown
So I don't have to watch you leave
Your father has been a single parent the moment you were born into his planet. Your mother died from natural childbirth out cold before she could even see your lively Eyes. But being an only father did not discourage him, it only made him work smarter and work harder. Jake and your mother had been best friends before Pandora talking about each other's kids going on playdates together but that never happened and it killed him inside. Neytiri loved your mother, her spunk, her fire and excitement. And she saw it in you, they helped raise you with your father the best they could with other responsibilities on them. But while they tried your dad was the only one who understood you the most.
I put on Survivor just to watch somebody suffer
Maybe I should get some sleep
“Calm down child“ your father says following your short figure threw the woods chuckling you Turn your body happily towards your father “ I cannot father, I can finally fly on my own.” you said gleaming “ I’m a big girl now.” You say gleaming. Your father caught your shoulders and kneeled down you “ ah yes a big girl. But even if you are a big girl you will still be my small flower.” He says kissing your nose. You wrap your arms around his neck hiding your face in his neck. “ I love you father” you say sighing happily ‘ I love you to my little flower’
Sinking in the sofa while they all betray each other
What's the point of anything?
You and Neteyam were inseparable since the day you later laid eyes on eachother. It was like you both knew you would be promised to each other before Eywa. The older you got the more your friendship changed into romantic feelings. Both so Stubborn with the feeling carrying in your heart ,Lo’ak was actually the one who got you together. He was tired of seeing you guys swoon over each other but he loved you together.
All of my friends are missing again
That's what happens when you fall in love
“ I cannot hide what I feel for you anymore. You make my days brighter than the stars in the sky.” Neteyam says taking your hand and putting it on his beating heart. “ my heart only beats for you, my love” the love in his eyes sent you flying “ oh Neteyam” your eyes water not knowing what to say. “ Oh my Fucking god just kiss already.”You hear Lo’ak in the background say. Making Neteyam roll his eyes and you laugh a bit. He placed his hand on your cheek connecting his sweet lips to yours and that’s when you became official.
You don't have the time, you leave them all behind
You tell yourself it's fine, you're just in love
Those two men were the only ones who understood you.
Don't know where you are right now
Did you see me on TV?
That's why you never thought this would happen. The bullet went straight through your father, through his heart, protecting you. You could stop the tears flowing down your face. “ Father! Please! Father. I-“ you cried out loud but they could not be heard due to the guns that shot your father going off. You dragged his body to the sullys it never occurred to you the reason why they were sitting in a circle until you got there. “Ma’Neteyam. No please Eywa no.” Laying your father down to Neteyam Jake and Neytiri's eyes became wide, two deaths in one day. “ please.” You cry out holding your fathers cold clammy hand crying into your lost lovers chest.
I'll try not to starve myself
Just because you're mad at me
they were the only ones who understood you and now there gone.
And I'll be in denial for at least a little while
What about the plans we made?
tell me what you think

The sky seeping through your yellow curtains was ablaze with the fiery yellows, reds, and pinks of the setting sun. The pale, crescent moon was just starting to rise on the other side of the sky, and the crickets were humming outside gently, indicating that it was the end of yet another god-awful day.
Your bedroom was peaceful. The light on your bedside table was coating the walls in an orange-y tinge, making the flames on the candles scattered around your room seem less harsh and the band posters stuck to the walls illuminate. The box TV in the corner of your room was on, televising the latest hits on MTV, playing distantly in the background. The ceiling was low because your room happened to be in the attic of your house, and it made the uncleaned windows look much bigger, giving you the ideal view of the lake and woods outside, and the wallflower plants in your front yard.
Your best woolen socks were fitted snugly on your feet which were tucked under the blankets of your bed along with the rest of the lower half of your body. You twirled the phone cord around your finger, holding it up to your ear, smiling.
"I've got terrible news." You say sarcastically. A chuckle comes from the other end of the line.
"Sugarcoat it for me?"
"I'm not Willy Wonka."
Eddie's breathy laugh gives you shivers. It's so satisfying. Every time he laughs, it's as if a river of dopamine was making its way through your veins, all the way to your face, where it leaves a warm-hearted smile.
"So what is it? What's the terrible news?" He asks.
"You left your history textbook at my place last night." Eddie groans, faining sadness.
"Oh, what a shame. Whatever will I do? I guess I have to come over to your place again to go fetch it." You both know damn well that Eddie doesn't give two shits whether he has his history textbook or not, or any textbooks for that matter. And you also both know that he most certainly left it there on purpose so he could go see you again.
"I guess you will," You uncoil the phone cord from your finger, leaning back against the bed frame behind you, "I talked to Gareth today."
"You did? Where is he? Why wasn't he at school?" Eddie had been wondering about it all day. High school is brutal enough as it is, and it's ten (thousand) times worse when your best friend isn't there.
"Yeah. I called him. He knew you were going to be worried since you're such a big teddy bear an' all."
"Excuse me," He scoffs, "I'm not a teddy bear. I'm a big, scary monste-"
"Sure you are." He can practically hear your eye roll through the phone, "Gareth's jus' sick is all. He told me to remind you to 'Do your homework'."
"Oh, well tell Gareth I'm sorry because my textbook is in Y/N's bedroom." You can hear the rattling of tin from his end of the line. Just like his laugh, it's like a comfort noise at this point.
"I'm not telling him that."
"No? Why not?" He giggles. A hissing sound from a beer can being opened comes from his end, and then a light swallow of the liquor shortly after.
"You know he'll get the wrong idea. And God knows how insufferable school would be. It would be all the boys would talk about."
If Gareth, or any of the boys, were to find out, it probably wouldn't just stay in their friend circle either. It would get out to the whole school in a matter of hours. It wouldn't surprise you if it ended up on the headline of the school paper, because nobody expects the town misfit to ever be in a relationship that lasts longer than a "Hideout hookup".
"Pity." He sounded unphased, almost like he wouldn't care if your connection with one another went public, which gave you a lump in your throat. It's not that you didn't want people to know about you both. It was that Eddie would get tormented over it for ages, probably even after he finishes high school. You were the most wanted girl in Hawkins, drawn with Nancy, of course. So if it's revealed that the freak somehow managed to achieve everyone's dream of dating you, it would wreak havoc and nothing short of it.
He's disgusting!
Why does she like him?
A satanic worshipper? What's got into her?
He must've paid her or something.
You could just hear the comments that would be said.
"Uh-Uhm," You stutter, and Eddie picks up the change in your tone as you try to switch your mind's thoughts, "So, need help with the campaign for next week?" Eddie brushes off the question, seemingly concerned.
"Hey, you okay?" His worry makes your heart melt.
"Y-Yeah. I'm fine, Eds. Just tired, I guess."
"I call bull. C'mon, Y/N. Did I say something?"
"No, no. You didn't do anything." You were quick to make sure he wouldn't feel guilty. Whenever he did something wrong, he beat himself up for it for what felt like an eternity. Sometimes he'd shut off and close off any and all interactions with you just so he wouldn't disappoint you again.
"Are you sure?" He asks.
No, you weren't. You knew you'd have to bring it up with him at some point. You really did want to share your relationship with him aboveboard, but the risks that came with it were much too high and much too unavoidable. Eddie was bullied on a day-to-day basis, and adding to the affliction would be selfish of you.
Despite all of this, Eddie still wanted to be open to everyone. It made you worried.
"Actually..." You say, your smile fading just a bit more, "Eddie, we should talk."
Eddie immediately thought that you were going to break up with him over the phone. Was he being too affectionate? Not affectionate enough? Did he do something bad? Did you not like him anymore? He closed his eyes shut, preparing for the worst.
"I love you, you know that." You say, and he sighs deeply, opening his eyes again. Those words always put him at ease; 'I love you." He loved it more and more each time you said it. I was like Jesus himself was cleansing his ears.
"But I don't want people... want anyone else, to know about us." The phone was silent for a while. He was comprehending what you just said. Eddie had been looking forward - really looking forward - to introducing you to Wayne formally, telling his friends about you, and probably even swooning about you to the drunks at the Hideout.
"Why not?" The downcast in his voice stinged you.
"Y'know how bad things will be if people know? How much you'll get pushed around, an-and... And how much people will hate you?" Eddie saw the problem now. Crystal clear. You cared about him.
"Y/N, sweetheart. I don't care-"
"-But you should, Eddie!" He was startled by your sudden interjection, "Your life will be even more dejected than it is now! C'mon. Jason's goons will be after you. And the partygoers. And those stupid cashiers that hit on me at the store-" Your voice cracks and Eddie stops you.
"-But I don't. I don't care." His sincerity makes you want to cry to a greater extent. You don't get it. How could he not care? If everyone wanted you dead, you would care. You would care a lot.
Eddie could tell you were confused, "Wanna know why I don't care?" He asks rhetorically, "Because it's you. You are who I'd go through it all for. I don't care if- if Tommy wants to drive a- a stake through my guts or if Keith wants to stuff my carcass into the back of his shitty, old car. I don't care, Y/N, because I'll have you. You make everything bearable. And to be honest, I probably wouldn't even notice how mad everyone would be at me for dating you because you're all I can see and think about."

Hi!! I'd love to see any combo/one of these for Josh or Ian 😊 38, 50, 67
These are the prompts in case you haven't seen them
Thanks for the prompts! 💙💚
38. “Just let me take care of you why are you so stubborn.” 50. “You sneezed ten times today.” “Thanks for counting.” 67. Having to be dragged back to bed.
I'm taking the dialogue prompts in particular as inspiration rather than exact quotes!
For anyone who doesn't know, my OCs Josh and Ian are best friends and 2/5 of the band The World Above. Their story starts with Sympathy, but you don't need to read that first (it's pretty long). As of this little fic, they're halfway across the country from each other, Josh in Chicago and Ian in L.A.
Also on AO3.
- - - - -
"Why are you even awake? It's so early there."
Ian turns a full circle as he's looking for something, the video blurring enough to make Josh dizzy. "Because! Shit to do." He blinks, and his nose scrunches, and he leans out of frame with a quick heh-SHHHoo!
"At—" he glances at the microwave clock and subtracts two hours— "8:46 a.m.?"
"That's not early." He sniffs and rubs the back of his hand under his nose, still distracted.
"Not to the rest of the world, no." He scratches Finley between the ears and leans back into the sofa. "What are you looking for?"
"Hmm." It doesn't quite come out right, like his nose is too blocked to let the sound through. "I… heh!-ngt-TCHiu!"
"Bless you. You don't remember, do you?"
Ian's slower to recover this time. "I remember." He coughs and wipes his nose on his sleeve. "Or. I will remember." He thinks for another moment. "Eventually."
One of Ian's many roommates walks through the back of the video. …Jayson. Yes. It's a big house with a lot of turnover, all musicians and artists working server jobs and the like to make ends meet in L.A., but he's been around long enough that he was there when Josh went out to visit last fall.
Ian's coughing again, and this time when he fumbles around for something out of frame he comes up with a handful of tissues, and sets the phone down to blow his nose, which just makes him sneeze again. Twice.
"That doesn't sound good," Josh says when Ian picks the phone back up.
Ian shakes his head dismissively. "I'm fine."
"Dude," Jayson says from the background. "You've sneezed like ten times already, and I only got up fifteen minutes ago."
Ian flips him off. Jayson shrugs and goes back to his coffee and his book.
Back to Josh: "Don't look at me like that."
Josh sighs. "You know what I'm going to say."
"That I've got shit to do and the start of a cold is not enough to stop me?"
At least he admits it. "That it's a Sunday morning with no obligations and you should go back to bed."
"Do you want to see my to-do list?" His voice is starting to sound strained.
"I wouldn't be able to read it." Ian had, at some point, figured out a system that worked for him. And only him.
"It says I have three sponsored posts to do and half a dozen venues to contact." Ian's been able to parlay his low-level fame into social media deals and solo shows and appearances with other people's bands, and there's a little bit of streaming revenue coming in from their World Above stuff. But only a little bit.
"Four," Jayson says without looking up from his book. "Sponsored posts."
"Oh, shit, you're right." Ian scrubs at his forehead. He's still in go-go-go mode, but he's fading, about to crash, his tan skin washing out before Josh's eyes except for where his nose is starting to be rubbed raw.
"And that all has to happen today?" God, he hopes not.
"Well, no. h'TCHIU!" He sniffs and reaches for more tissues. "Not technically."
"Bless you. So it can wait a couple of days?"
Ian shrugs, not meeting his eyes, which in this case is a yes.
"So you should go back to bed."
Ian grumbles unintelligibly. Finley noses his way toward the phone to see what's going on, and Josh has to stop him from licking the screen.
"I don't think your sponsors want someone clearly sick doing their ad reads," he tries.
"Fuck you, I always look good."
Josh rolls his eyes. "You can post reels or whatever from your sickbed. Get plenty of sympathy likes."
"Hey, some people think that's hot." Because Jayson is fully a part of this conversation now, apparently.
Ian's resolve is starting to waver, but he shakes his head firmly. "I can do it."
God, this would be so much easier if he was there. "Ian, I say this with love, stop being so fucking stubborn and just go the fuck back to bed. You need it."
Ian tries to protest some more but just starts coughing instead, and by the time that's over all of his fight is gone. Jayson had gotten up at some point and filled a glass with water, and he hands it to Ian and steers him by the shoulders back toward the stairs.
"I got it, I got it," Ian mumbles, shaking off his hands, and starts slowly climbing the stairs.
"Thanks, Jayson," Josh says, relieved. He gets a salute in return, and then they're alone.
Ian's breathing heavily by time he gets to the top of the stairs, and his nose is running, and it almost looks like he's starting to shiver. He shuts his door behind him and curls up under the covers, eyes barely open.
"Josh?" A little shaky.
"Yeah."
"I don't feel good."
Gentle: "I know. I'm sorry. Do you want to take anything, or just go to sleep?"
Ian nods, which Josh takes to mean the second option, but doesn't close his eyes.
"Here. Hang out with Finn for a while." He turns the phone around so Ian can see Finley lapping up water across the room, and then back to himself when Finn spots the invitation and pushes his way past the coffee table to nestle between Josh's legs, wagging his tail even though there's not really enough room and licking the screen before Josh can stop him.
"Puppy kisses," Ian says, hoarse and vague.
"Puppy kisses," Josh agrees, wiping the slobber from the screen. "Everything else can wait, okay?"
"Okay," Ian whispers.
Josh scratches Finn behind the ears and nods. "Everything else can wait."

Hello again♡. If you don't mind, I'd like to make a request. Everything is fine, if you don't like it, it won't be interesting for you, just refuse♡.
Can I, please, ask about the nameless ghoulette-reader, who somewhere in the background, and Cumulus with Cirrus? They communicate very nicely and intimately. They're close friends. They, as friends should, support each other, help. Almost always together. They have a lot in common, actually. Random Brother of Sin: - ha! The sisterhood of delicious thighs! Sister of Sin: - a curvy trio. In general, the three of them are best friends. Such a friendship can only be envied. They are so close, they care about each other so much. But, one day, they approach Papa, and ask him, to marry them among themselves. Their intentions are serious and the best in relation to each other.
Anyway, thank you very much♡!
Oooh, I'm giggling and kicking my feet. This is actually really sweet! (Also, I've been wanting to write about my girls for a while!)
Nameless Ghoulettes x g/n reader
Tumblr media
If you wander deep inside the Ministry, there are lots of secrets and curiosities to uncover.
Behind those sturdy walls made of ancient stones, through the big and heavy doors, the nature of the Nameless Ghouls is one of those secrets people wish they could understand better.
Even more puzzling than the Ghouls are the Ghoulettes. There’s a reason why Papa keeps them behind a barrier during most of the rituals, locked away from the rest of the band members and the public. They are stronger, far more volatile and intense than their male counterparts and also, more mysterious.
There's little to no information about the Ghoulettes. It is said that only a skilled summoner can call upon them and strike a deal. They tend not to be interested in mundane, human business.
Which, in the end, doesn't explain why they seem to like you so much. It all started with piercing stares, with dark eyes concealed behind reflective glass following all your movements.
Then, the gifts. Little trinkets, candy wrapped in reflective paper, flowers and pinecones, even random rocks and crystals… Everything appeared around you, left behind as an offering. At that moment, you didn't exactly grasped the meaning of them, accepting the gifts without any second thoughts.
Naturally, the Ghoulettes interpreted it as an acceptance of their advances. Being escorted by them through the long halls and surrounded by their presence during your daily chores became a frequent occurrence. You didn’t mind it, at all. In fact, their company was appreciated. It felt like it was meant to be, like your friendship was destined by a higher power.
After interminable days working in the Ministry, you go back to your room and already know they will be waiting by the door, attentive eyes hidden behind the masks. Cirrus and Cumulus, as the Siblings and fans have named them, are always so curious, so enthusiast to learn about whatever human topic you choose.
Gradually, you introduce them to different types of music, food, books and even tv shows. You talk to them about your interest and hobbies, rambling for hours under their attentive stare.
In their own pace, they also begin sharing information about their homes. Fingers carding through your hair, or resting their head on your lap, they tell you about the different circles of hell and oh, how much fun they have there, how much you’d enjoy the warmth and the different rituals that take place during all eternity.
Sometimes, they even share their own music. In English, or in some ancient, long forgotten language, Cumulus' voice fills the silence of the room and reverberates on the walls, following the melody Cirrus offers in the background. You're always mesmerized, clinging to the edge of the seat in awe and excitement.
It's only natural, you guess, to accept their proposal of joining them forever. Ghoulettes are, after all, creatures born from the deepest fire of hell. They are passionate, capable of such a brimming, burning love. You can't really ask for more, because no human would ever compare to this.
Papa is excited to be the one performing the binding rituals. This type of ceremony is not unheard of inside the Ministry, but it is quite rare. The celebrations last for hours and hours, full of music and prayers to the Dark Lord.
When it's late at night and you finally go to sleep, body intertwined with Cirrus and Cumulus and hands holding you closely, you know you're completely ready to face the whole eternity, for as long as it is with them.
PS: Sorry if it's not that good. It's my first time writing ghoulettes and I wanted to try a different style.

I'm halfway through Gravedale High and I think I get the gist of it, so here are my random thoughts about it:
Of all the celebrity cartoons, this is one of them. Joking aside, this probably is legitimately one of the better ones from this time period. I am not distracted by Rick Moranis's presence, and I'm glad he's not going full nerd as in his usual typecasting. I keep expecting to see a Ghostbusters or Little Shop of Horrors reference, since this show sure does love its pop culture references, but so far, they've had the restraint not to do it in a direct way except for one of the background characters in one episode looking like a terror dog, but that could be a coincidence. I guess I'll find out eventually if they actually do make a reference.
I can't watch a lot of it in one sitting because if I try, I know I'll be filled with homicidal rage at all the constant catchphrases and verbal tics and schticks that every character has.
Gotta love how the creativity of the main cast ranges from "Personifying the trope of zombies as commentaries for consumerism with a wealth-obsessed, literal mall zombie" to "what if creature from the black lagoon but surfer".
J.P. doesn't seem to be any kind of monster in particular, Peter Lorre parodies are just their own Halloween species lol
Vinnie may be the Fonz as a teenage vampire, but it was very big-brained of whoever the character designer was to give him black nail polish in 1989-90. For all this show's problems, the character design for the most part is not one of them, even with how dated many of them are fashion-wise they're still very charming.
Sure, I ship Vinnie and Reggie. Before I watched this show, I assumed it was just typical shipping of best friend characters, but when I got to the famous ear-scratching scene from episode four, I was like "yeah okay I can see where they're coming from".
Of the main cast, Sid is probably my favorite because everything about him is so hilariously dated above all the rest, which is saying something: The rapping, the baseball cap, the pattern on his shirt, the random impressions... he's so lame that he circles back around to being funny. And apart from the irony, an invisible kid becoming a class clown so people won't ignore him anymore is one of the more genuinely creative concepts here.
Oh, but speaking of Sid, who's voiced by Maurice LaMarche... It was pretty awkward to watch Sid whenever he talked about his dreams to become a stand-up comedian, knowing what I know about what happened with LaMarche's own desire to rise up in the stand-up world on the same month that Gravedale High coincidentally premiered in. I don't know if this is common knowledge, but I won't go into it here because this post is supposed to be about a silly cartoon. If you're curious and can handle emotional matters, go read about it on his Wikipedia page under the Career section and see the events leading up to him becoming a full-time voice actor after September 1990.
Anyway, this is one of those cartoons where you can see a lot of potential, but since this came before or at the same time as other more ground-breaking cartoons like Ren and Stimpy or Tiny Toons, you get the feeling Gravedale is still shackled by 80's cartoon trappings despite its occasional dark jokes and pop culture references. If I were to make a new version, with or without Moranis, I would go for something a little edgy to make it stand out from Monster High and other shows of its ilk, do for horror what Clone High does for teen shows, either in a PG or TV-14 way.

Boo! pilot episode. pt. 3
[Ext. ShowMall, parking lot.]
[A tall person wearing a black face mask exits their car. They are holding a handheld video camera. This is RANBOO, an amateur urban explorer and ghost hunter. He looks up at the old sign and points the video camera at it.]
RANBOO: Well, here it is. The old ShowMall... People say it's haunted. And I believe them!
[RANBOO starts walking across the parking lot towards the main entrance of the mall.]
[Int. mall main entrance. SNEEG is looking out a window at the parking lot. SLIMECICLE is in the background taking a jackhammer to the metal crate.]
SNEEG: Hey, Slime. I think there's another one of those guys trying to explore this place.
SLIMECICLE: (still jackhammering) WHAT??
SNEEG: (raises voice) There's a human being!!
SLIMECICLE: OH! (stops jackhammering) Well, get them to go away. I'm busy. (gestures to the metal crate)
SNEEG: I was going to do that anyways, but nice to know that you aprove.
[SNEEG chuckles sinisterly and fades into the darkness.]
[Back to RANBOO.]
[RANBOO walks into the mall, their camera down. He takes out a flashlight looks around the dark place. Seeing nothing they attach the flashlight to the camera and use it to light their way as they walk further into the mall.]
RANBOO: I should probably make my presence know. (ahem) Hello there! If you're a ghost, uh, just like appear or something so I can get some cool footage. And if you're another ghost hunter then go away. I called dibs on this place! (pauses) There, that should do the trick.
[SNEEG suddenly appears behind RANBOO and screams at them. Ranboo whips around, whacking SNEEG with his camera.]
SNEEG: OW! Dude, what the heck!?
RANBOO: I- I um- Sorry? Are you a ghost??
SNEEG: Duh. You think it's normal to look like this?
RANBOO: … wow... thank you!
[SNEEG stands there confused as RANBOO circles him with the camera, making sure to get multiple angles.]
SNEEG: 'Thank you'? What are you doing?
RANBOO: I'm just getting footage for my ghost hunting web series! This is the best! Usually I never find any ghosts or this annoying guy with a big production company gets to the haunted places I was going to explore first.
SNEEG: Okay... I don't really care. Can you go?
[RANBOO lowers the camera.]
RANBOO: Go? But I just got here!
SNEEG: (ominously) Well you should go because my friend is a super scary demon and he hates his business being interrupted by stupid humans like you.
RANBOO: Really...? Woah. I got to get him on camera!
[RANBOO skips off away from SNEEG.]
SNEEG: What? No! Where are you going?? You're supposed to be scared!!

hey!! would you happen to have any good recommendations for queer twitch streamers? :O (besides ur lovely streams ofc <3)
hi there!! this was such a nice ask i wanted to spend some time to think on it :) I'm mostly gonna recc smaller streamers (that I talk to/am friends with lol bitta nepotism never hurt anyone) but I'll throw some others in there too!
Fortwas (Facecam) - GHOST HUNTING. CRAFTS. GAME DEV. THEY'VE GOT IT ALL. They're so cool and they always stream when I can't fkin watch >:( Watch in my stead, won't you? Not as common streams, but again, really good vibes when they happen.
AmbaDev (Vtuber) - Chaos. Dev. Games. What more do I need to say? They were on the second episode of Gender Gossip, if you want an introduction to them!
OnyanCronch (Vtuber) - The person behind the Cos model! Really fuckin funny and passionate, their streams feel like hanging out at a cafe :) Art and whatever games they're obsessed with at the time! Check out their Gender Gossip to meet them and their vibes!
Mindez (Facecam) - The literal reason I'm streaming today; she inspired me into content creation. I've watched her stuff since I was a wee babe and she only goes from strength to strength! Currently she's doing a lot of Pokemon Randos and Chill Puzzle Sundays (SO cozy), but she also does a lot of speedrun stuff from time to time! Their Discworld run made it to GDQ, and it's a great watch! They also do special events from time to time; their latest was Dez-cember, a charity month! During this they hosted Mindez Does Taskmaster, which I was a contestant on! Not to be biased, but it's a brilliant watch.
FaerynTheCat (Vtuber) - One of the first mates I made in whilst reaching out in vtubing! They're bloody hilarious and their streams are always a riot. They tend to do a lot of variety games, and they're good for collabs too, so you're likely to discover more people through them!
Eclapricious (No Facecam/Avi) - Listen I said nepotism. And I meant it. This is my sibling, lol. They don't stream quite as often as others on the list (life's life innit), but when they do, they tend to stick to it for a bit and do long serieses(??)! They also have a great youtube channel you can dig into if you're looking for some non-live stuff! Great for analysing media, cause they're a big ol nerd.
Fortwas (Facecam) - GHOST HUNTING. CRAFTS. GAME DEV. THEY'VE GOT IT ALL. They're so cool and they always stream when I can't fkin watch >:( Watch in my stead, won't you? Not as common streams, but again, really good vibes when they happen.
AmbaDev (Vtuber) - Chaos. Dev. Games. What more do I need to say? They were on the second episode of Gender Gossip, if you want an introduction to them!
AmberCyprian (Vtuber) - Slightly more outside my circle, and a little bigger than most of the ones on this list, but a really really cool streamer who does a lot of Sonic speedrun and Pokemon rando content! They're also the host of GDQ Hotfix's Never Before Seen, so you know they know their shit!
TheJenna (Facecam) - Fully outside my circle here, but I love Jenna's streams so much. She's one of the Polygon video team, and she's very funny, her streams are chill as fuck. I'm kinda on the VOD Squad for her stuff but it's nice as background noise :)) She does a lot of more popular games, and some blender art streams! She also has a DND podcast but I haven't had the chance to listen to that yet so I can't say what the vibes are (but they seem powerful)
Mr_Rebecca (Dogcam. The Best.) - Another one outside my circle, and part of the NerdCubed group, but oh their streams are soul healing. They just talk about their pets and do art and play cute games (LOTS of ooblets). Also their voice is so soft like. These are Meditation streams for me.
Okay if I list any more I will be here all night, but I hope this list is great to get you started! If you end up following any of em, tell em I sent ya! ;P <3

a silent question
Tumblr media
bakugou x fem!reader
wc: 1.5k
summary: kirishma uses his big brain to figure out why exactly bakugou is being so doting this christmas eve, it can’t be because you're… oh my god, are you?
cw: fluff, parenting, pregnancy, christmas eve traditions, kiri has a partner and children but they are only mentioned in passing (its @eijirosriot lol), and a hug where reader is lifted a little
a/n: this was inspired because I want to have his babies so bad, as many as he wants, i do not care. This also maybe might fit into the ruby red series in the future because this is apart of my self ship story, but it's totally not related to anything happening right now. its just a nice lil one shot. merry christmas, happy holidays, and all that jazz.
this is a part of the @goldenshoyo holiday collab for day 24! christmas eve! check out the masterlist here!
minors do not interact. this work contains mature themes and if you continue reading you have agreed you are willing to see such content
Tumblr media
Kirishima sits across from you and Bakugou at his large dinner table, the red walls of the room contrasting beautifully with the Christmas tree decorated in the corner, and the soft holiday music fighting to be heard in the background is the opposite of the screaming children around him.
When your families get together, it always ends up loud like this. Your oldest and Kirishima's oldest are very close in age, and both boys are so excited about everything, they can't help but yell, and today they are shouting about who can finish their dinner first because for some reason they think they get to open their presents the second they finish eating.
Eijiro’s twins aren't helping the situation either; they are trying to tell their older brother that it doesn't matter who finishes first, Christmas Eve presents are opened from youngest to oldest, but their arguments are completely lost in the chaos.
And then there's your and Katsuki's youngest daughter, the princess of the group, or at least she usually is. She is currently crying, refusing to eat her dinner because her older brother told her the rice was made out of bugs.
Yep, just a normal Christmas eve for the Bakugou and Kirishima families.
The tradition started when the boys were born. It was nice to spend the evening together watching the babies wrap their tiny hands around your finger and giggle when they saw each other. Now it's still just as exciting, except there are more of them and they are louder and love to run everywhere.
The only thing missing is Kirishima’s partner who couldn't get the night off, but Eijiro gave them a kiss before they left and told them that he could handle it, and he can. But the yelling is starting to get to him and you as well.
Your eyes are closed and your fingers are rubbing along your brow bone, trying to soothe away a migraine.
Katsuki, who was trying to convince the princess to eat, looks over at your motion and Eijiro can see the fierce look of protection in his eyes.
“Oi! Inside voices. Now,” Bakugou barks at the boys, and they instantly quiet, sensing the unwavering energy radiating off of Katsuki.
Kirishima furrows his eyebrows, watching the way his best friend turns to you and begins rubbing your back in circles. It reminds him of something… but what is it?
There’s a nagging feeling at the back of his mind and he takes another bite of his food before replaying the evening in his head.
His first note of evidence: Bakugou is being too doting on you tonight. Sure, he has always been protective, but when the two of you walked in the door this evening, Katsuki wouldn't even let you take your own shoes off. Nor would he let you help cook dinner or help set the table. And you were only allowed to help serve the plates when you finally put your foot down. Kirishma has only seen Bakugou like this three times in his life: first on your wedding day, and the second and third times when you were pregnant with your kids.
Secondly: you're not drinking any alcohol or eating any fish, which honestly doesn't clue him in to a lot since those don’t always happen when he sees you. Sometimes you just aren't in the mood or you’re driving a drunk Bakugou home, but… it's not nothing, he thinks. Maybe he should test his theory.
“Here,” he says, placing a piece of sushi onto your plate. “You didn't have any yet, right? You can have some of mine.”
Katsuki instantly whips his head around, looking at your plate before glancing at you with wide eyes.
“Thanks Ei,” you say, trying to wave off the death glare that Katsuki is sending you. “But I'm not really feeling sushi tonight.”
Kirishima takes the sushi off your plate, checking off the ‘no fish’ box in his head.
He takes a bite and chews, pondering the rest of the night. The only other weird thing was when Kirishima gave you and Katsuki your Christmas gift before dinner.
It's a trip for two to visit one of the most beautiful hot springs in all of Japan. It should have been the perfect gift; he's even heard both of you mentioning wanting to go there but when he presented the tickets, he was met with silence and worried looks.
An overprotective husband, no alcohol or raw fish, no hot springs— they are essentially hot tubs, right? All of these things usually come with—
“Holy shit,” Eijiro chokes, chopsticks slipping from his fingers and landing on his plate with a clang.
His twins stare up at him like he just committed a cardinal sin. “Dad said a bad word,” one of them chastises before the other joins in with, “That's a dollar to the swear jar.”
Kirishima feels like he's being held at gunpoint with the way both of their palms stretch out expectantly. He reaches in his pocket, fishing out a spare dollar and holding it for them to snatch. “If you're done eating, why don't you go separate the presents, I need to talk to Uncle Katsuki and Aunt Y/N for a second.”
The kids leave the table, and you call after them, “Don't open them or we will return them!”
A chorus of ‘yes’s and squeals is all you receive and you take another drink of your water.
You can hear the kids fussing with the presents in the other room, but they know not to test the rules; one year you did actually take the presents away, if only temporarily.
“So…” Kirishima starts, looking expectantly between the two of you.
Katsuki narrows his eyes at him in response. “So?”
Eijiro’s eyebrows raise and he shakes his head a little, “Are you guys…?”
“Ei, just spit it out,” you laugh, cutting the tension between the two pro heros.
“Areyouguyspregnant?” he blurts out, immediately bowing his head and clashing his hands in front of him, praying that Bakugou doesn't blow up his house.
You look over at Katsuki, and he is already looking at you with a half smile. You raise your eyebrows at him in silent question: should we tell him?
Katsuki’s smile gets bigger, crinkling his eyes as he nods his head towards Kirishima as if saying: go ahead.
You cup Katsuki’s cheek, and he nuzzles into your palm. He's so absolutely smitten with you, especially when you're pregnant. It makes up for how overprotective he gets.
Truly, it is a little too soon to start telling people about it, as you haven't even told either of your families yet, but it's Eijiro. He's your confidant, your partner-in-crime, Katsuki’s best friend, and yours too, if you're being honest.
Katsuki takes your hand in his and rests it on his thigh, giving it a light encouraging squeeze.
“Kirishima Eijiro, how do you always figure these things out?” you sigh with a giggle, “Yes, we’re pregnant—”
He rises from his seat, raising his fists in glory. “I knew it!” he exclaims, running over to your side of the table. He pulls you from your seat and wraps you in a huge hug, lifting you slightly off the ground and swaying back and forth.
Katsuki stands up, putting a hand heated by his quirk on Eijiro’s shoulder and a wicked gleam in his eye, “She just told you she was pregnant and you come over here, yanking her outta her chair, and start swinging her around?”
Kirishima puts you down gently and releases you with a smile before he launches himself at Bakugou.
“You're so right, man! I should have attacked you instead!” Kirishima’s whole body is wrapped around Katsuki’s, clinging on to him like a koala. “I'm so happy for the both of you!”
You can hear the slight waver in his voice like he's about to cry, and you lock eyes with Katsuki. He looks torn between being irritated at his buffoon of a best friend for enveloping him in a heavy-ass hug and the joy of sharing this life-changing news to one of the most important people in his life.
You put a hand on Kirishima's back and lean against Katsuki’s arm in the weirdest group hug you've ever had, but you're so happy right now you feel like you could cry.
Your small moment of bliss is soon interrupted by a large crash followed promptly by the wailing of not one, but two children.
The twins come rushing into the dining room, stopping dead in their tracks when they see the sight of their father clinging on to his best friend. They try to process what they're looking at before one of them speaks up, “You know what—” and the other finishes “—nevermind.”
They slowly back out of the room like they are inching away from a hungry predator and then bolt back towards the commotion.
Kirishima climbed off of Bakugou and gives you one of his shining smiles before he's rushing off after the twins.
You go to follow him when Katsuki grabs your hand and pulls you into him. He kisses your forehead and you feel love bloom across your chest.
“Just think,” he whispers, smiling against your skin. “By this time next year there will be another one.”

Cruel - Sakusa Kiyoomi x Fem!Reader
Warnings: Fem!Reader, Semi-public sex, cunt slaps, face slaps (1), finger sucking, degradation, praise, car sex, size kink!, jealous Omi, edging, overstimulation (but in theory sorta, at the end), "daddy" and "bunny" used! As always, please let me know if I missed any!!
Summary: Sakusa Kiyoomi is not a very jealous man, but sometimes his teammates can get under his skin.
Word count: 3k
Author note: This was a commission! Therefore, the reader has some body descriptions (being shorter and smaller than Kiyoomi). If you're interested in commissioning me, please dm me!
--
Nervous was the understatement of the year. While you had met a few of Kiyoomi’s teammates before, usually just saying a quick “hi” and “bye” before he drug you away from them, nothing to this degree. Atsumu had requested that his twin allow the team to have a party at his onigiri shop to celebrate a big tournament win for the team when they got back to Tokyo. Excitement was definitely there, but nothing would stop you from feeling the heavy rock in your gut or the anxious beating of your heart.
Well, nothing but Kiyoomi’s warm hand in yours. He smiled at you before slipping his black mask over his pretty face.
“It’ll be fun,” he assured, and you wondered if he actually felt that way.
He hated these gatherings, probably more than anyone should. Not for the fact he was antisocial or that he didn’t enjoy his teammates. He just didn’t want them flocking to you and making you nervous. However, it had been several months of him turning these things down and opting to spend his days off with you after games. The team was irritated with him for it, and he knew that this one party would make up for all the times missed.
Or at least he hoped.
“I think so too!” You say back cheerfully, adjusting your dress underneath you on the seat of his car. The leather was sticking to your thighs where your sundress rode up.
“You could have worn something more-“
“Think about what you’re about to say.” You warn, and he raises an eyebrow at you. “I like this dress.”
He does too, he wants to tell you. But so will the other members of MSBY. He chooses to not say anything, knowing you would only laugh at his comment or say something smart back. He loves that about you, even if he doesn’t tell you that often. He enjoys watching you get frustrated, furrowing your brows, and pouting your lip. It’s why he always teases you about what you wear. Not that he’d ever actually make you change, well, to an extent he thinks.
“Why are you so in your head?” You ask him as he pulls out of the parking garage.
“I didn’t realize I was,” he answers honestly.
You intertwine your fingers with his on your lap as he drives, listening to the soft sounds of the radio in the background while he takes you to the infamous Onigiri Miya you’d heard about a few dozen times. You knew Kiyoomi liked to pretend he hated Atsumu, but he was probably his closest friend, no matter how much he protested that fact.
It’s a shame this would be the first time you actually got to speak to him or anyone else on the team for that matter. You thought it was definitely cute that he was protective of you, but you were beginning to feel like he was keeping part of his life from you. When you brought it up to him, he apologized profusely, promising to take you to the next event.
--
“-----,” Atsumu’s shit-eating grin appeared for the hundredth time that night. “Tell me again, am I saying that right?” His hand caresses your shoulder and you still, shocked he’d carelessly do this despite you sitting on Omi’s lap.
“There’s not another way to say her name, Miya.” Kiyoomi glares at him from above you. It amazes you that even while sitting on his lap he seems so much larger than you. Thinking about it too much stirs something inside of you that you’d rather save for when you have him alone. So, you push it away. “Stop touching my girlfriend and go find yours.”
He throws his hands up, another laugh vibrating from his chest. “Fine, fine, I’ll stop teasing you Omi Omi.”
As he walks away, you smile down at your boyfriend, and he seems to relax. “Your friends are nice.”
“He’s not my friend.” He huffs looking away from you.
You know better. It’s honestly sort of adorable the way he always denies it.
“Yo!” Bokuto’s booming voice catches your attention as he runs towards you and Kiyoomi. “Osamu said something about a karaoke set, you have to come over here with us -----!”
“I-I don’t know about that,” your fingers dig into your palm as you look to Sakusua. “Would you want to?”
“I can come watch if you want to, bunny.” His fingers slowly stroke your thighs, and you flush; unable to think straight whenever he’s touching you and calling your favorite name.
“Okay,” you stand up going with Bokuto as he drags you towards the front of the Onigiri shop where the others have begun to set up the karaoke machine.
“I’ll sing with you since I know Kiyoomi would rather die than let loose with a song. Anything you like to sing?”
“Oh, uh,” you think. “I’ve never actually done this. So just pick something easy.”
“I guess,” he starts sifting through the catalog that’s on the machine, “Girls Just Wanna Have Fun it is!”
You laugh taking the mic he hands you. It’s so ridiculous he would choose it, but you know he’s doing his absolute best to help you feel comfortable around him and all the others. The entire event was bigger than you expected, everyone either bringing a partner or friend, sometimes both. However, even with all the people around Bokuto is making it easier to loosen up and realize no one actually cares about what you sound like; hell, most of them are too deep in conversation and laughing to even watch closely.
Kiyoomi is the exception, as always.
He’s removed his mask from one ear, letting it dangle from the other while he watches you. A small smile creeps on his lips when you make eye contact, and you can’t help but giggle through the lyrics. His smile quickly turns to a frown when Bokuto throws an arm around your shoulder as you finish the song and he laughs, smooshing his face up against yours to belt out the lyrics. You giggle, pulling away not sure you like the sudden closeness, and the song ending is a perfect excuse to put down the mic and heading over to Kiyoomi.
“That was quite the little show,” he says, his tone stern and unforgiving. “Especially the little bit at the end.”
“Omi,” you whine, placing your hand on his firm chest. “He was just being silly.”
He rolls his eyes and scoffs before pulling his mask back on. “Let’s go. I’m ready to be home.”
“Omi!” You say more firmly. “I’m having fun!”
“Would you like to go home with one of them, then?” His eyes are intense, and you feel suddenly smaller than usual as he peers down at you.
He’s good at that, making you feel small. Even if you love it most of the time, it’s not just that. You want him, desperately, right here and now. You want to stay longer and spend more time with his friends, but he’s making it hard to focus with his deep voice and intense eyes that make you want to jump him here.
“No! Only you,” you tell him and lean up and place a soft kiss on his chest. “Let’s go, I guess,” you make sure to make your displeasure unknown even if you’re only thinking about getting him out of his clothes as soon as you are home.
You can’t exactly be sure, but you think he smiles under his mask. His eyes soften like they usually do when he smiles at you, so you assume you’ve made him happy. He says a few quick goodbyes, even making sure yours are faster than his while he pulls you away. To your surprise, he opens the back passenger door of his car.
“I am not riding in the back like a kid,” you tell him frowning. “You can’t be serio-“
“Get in the fucking car, -----.” He rolls his eyes again, and you slide in with a pout on your lips. Kiyoomi slides in beside you, pushing you down against the back seat. “I can’t wait another minute,” he growls in your ear while his fingers unhook his mask from his ear.
You bite your lip to keep from smiling too widely. “Daddy,” you whine as his fingers tease you through your thin dress.
It’s cruel, and you know that’s exactly what he intends.
He could easily hike the dress up just a few inches to have easy access to your core, but he won’t. He loves teasing you too much. The way your body reacts to even his slightest touch makes him dizzy, and he wants to feel drunk on you tonight. Even if you don’t know it, he thinks, Bokuto got to him in a way he can’t understand.
He thought Atsumu would be the one to bring out the ugly jealous side of him, but no, to his surprise it was the one man he never thought could do it. Honestly, he’s a little ashamed of himself as he’s sliding your dress up your thighs. It’s not your fault, anyone would want you. But you’re his.
Only his; and he intends to remind you of that.
“Omi, please!” You all but scream for him.
He’s relentlessly drawing small circles onto your clit and driving you mad. You’re soaking through your panties, and you need him. You’re not sure if it’s even been two minutes, but it feels like an eternity of teasing.
“Omi?” He chuckles. “Bunny, you know better than that.”
“Daddy, please,” you correct yourself. “I need you, daddy! Please!”
“That’s my girl,” he kisses you, his lips rough against yours.
He kisses you like he’s desperate he’ll lose you. Every touch and motion meant to remind you how much he loves and needs you. While his tongue enters your mouth, he slips his fingers down below your dress, moaning as he feels how wet you are for him.
“Fuck,” he groans against your lips. “You’re always so fucking good for me, bunny.”
He doesn’t curse often, or at least to this degree unless you’re fucking. Something about knowing he reserves even his swearing just for you. He pushes your panties to the side, just enough to give him access to your drooling cunt. He smiles as your back arches up off the leather of his back seat and your eyes roll back into your head.
“Tell me what you want, bunny.” He curls his fingers inside of you and you moan loudly.
“You! Daddy, want your big cock! Want it so bad,” you whine as he fucks his fingers into you.
His fingers leave you empty, and you start to whine, but before the sweet sound passes your lips, he smacks your cunt. Once and then twice and then finally a third time. You whine, trying to move away each time, but his strong hand holds your thigh still with ease. Fingertips digging into your thigh with each smack only makes you cry out louder.
It hurts too good. You want it to stop, but you want it to continue. You can’t decide which would be better. Your clit throbs, and your cunt clenches around nothing with the fourth and final smack. Your throat is starting to hurt from all your whining and straining to keep from screaming too loud.
“Remember to as politely,” he says against your lips. “Then Daddy won’t have to punish you, yeah?”
You nod, shaking your head up and down slowly while he smiles at you.
“Good girl,” he kisses you softly. “Now, I think it’s time I gave you a treat.”
You smile widely as he sits down, unbuckling his pants and sliding them down his hips and legs along with his underwear. It’s hard not to watch the way his cock slaps against his stomach, ready for you with a desperately swollen pink head. It’s unfair how pretty it is, really… who else would have a pretty cock?
“Come sit,” he strokes his cock once and you hurry over to him.
Straddling his legs, he helps you sink down on him. It always burns at first, stretching around him to adjust.
“So big,” you whine while hiding your face in the crook of his neck. “Too much!”
“Shhh,” he coos rubbing your back with one hand and your ass with another. “You always take it bunny; tonight is no different.”
“Daddy,” you cry as you finally take him all in.
He smirks, thrusting up once and making you bounce. “Feel so good, my precious bunny.” He holds your hips, guiding you into starting to ride him.
His hands are tight, supporting you and making you move at his pace. He’s slow, making sure you feel every drag of his cock in and out of you. Your dress falls down around his hands and your thighs, hiding everything from anyone who could possibly be passing outside the car.
“M-more,” you whine, wanting him to start thrusting up into you.
“Do you deserve more, bunny?” He holds your hips still, making you whine and look up at him. “I’m not sure you even deserve to cum. Dirty sluts don’t get to feel good.”
“But daddy please-“
His hand is fast, hitting your cheek with enough force to shut you up and turn your head. It stings but is replaced by that addicting warmth that takes over your cheeks and mind. You moan as his hand rests on your cheek, covering the redness that’s forming already.
“Open up,” his thumb drags across your bottom lip, and you part your lips.
He closes his eyes as you suck on his thumb, relaxing and letting you start riding him slowly again. He thrusts to meet you each time you come down on his cock, making you bite down on his thumb each time. He thrusts harder with each bite, which continues in an endless cycle until he pulls his thumb out to bring your face to his. He kisses you desperately, his tongue fighting your own. You moan against his lips, holding onto his shoulders tightly while he takes control of your body again.
“Don’t you dare cum.” He warns. “Not until I say, got it?”
You nod slowly while he fucks into you harder. His thrusts are rougher and more intense, signaling he’s close. It’s nearly impossible to not cum on him now, but you hold out. Fighting ever instinct telling you to cum is the hardest thing he’s ever asked of you.
“Daddy,” you whimper, feeling like you might explode. “Please!”
“Just a little more,” he pants, closing his eyes and laying his head against the backseat. “Fuck, I’m going to feel your cute little cunt up darling. I’ll have my cum dripping down your thighs and all over that little dress of yours.”
Oh, he’s definitely close. He wouldn’t talk this much if not.
“Want your cum daddy!”
“I know you do, slutty little bunny.” He leans up and kisses your neck, his teeth grazing the soft skin between your shoulder and neck.
“Daddy please, wanna cum!”
“I told you not until I say,” he slaps your ass once and you cry out.
Everything burns. Your stomach, thighs, and even your core. You’re desperate for some release but want Omi’s praise more than anything else. So, you keep fighting the urge to just let go.
“Fuck,” he moans once more, thrusting into you and holding your hips still while he cums. You feel the warm release start to dribble down his cock and out of you onto his thigh.
The bastard really didn’t let you cum… is he going to finish you off?
“Omi!” You try to ride his cock again, but he holds you still.
“Sorry bunny,” he chuckles breathlessly, his curly hair sticking to his forehead as he looks down at you. “You have to wait just a little longer.”
“Not fair!” You whine, tears stinging your eyes. “Wanna cum now! On your cock!”
“If you cheer up, I’ll tease you on the way home and keep you on the edge. I promise I’ll let you cum when we get home.” He kisses your cheeks, teasingly thrusting up into you once before pulling out. “Can you be good for daddy? If you make it until we get home, I promise I’ll reward you.”
Your eyes brighten and you perk up. “I can try,” you tell him.
--
The ride is torment. Even a bump in the road makes you moan. Kiyoomi brings you to the edge at least three times, and after that, you lose count. The only grounding part of the experience is his warm voice praising you for doing so well. It makes you weaker, every time he gives you just that little acknowledgment, and it helps you make it all the way home.
“We’re home, bunny,” he smiles at you and opens his door.
He jogs around the car and opens yours, helping you out and guiding you inside. You’re grateful for the covered garage and the short elevator ride up to his apartment. As soon as you pass the threshold of his apartment, your arms are around him and he lifts you up. He’s already hard, you giggle feeling it against your swollen cunt and watching Omi’s pants get damp from the mess you both made earlier.
“Daddy, make me cum! Please! I did what you asked.”
“You’ve been such a good girl, bunny.” He lays you down on the dining table, spreading you out for him to stand comfortably between your thighs. “Daddy is gonna make you cream around my cock.”
You thank whatever gods may be for Kiyoomi’s agile body and earnest attitude. He has his pants off quickly and his cock inside you before you can even whine again. Gasping, you reach up for him and he holds you against his body while fucking you on the table.
“Cum whenever you want, bunny, you earned it. Cum as many times as you want. I won’t stop until you’re begging me to.”
That’s all it takes. You cum, crying against his chest and clawing at him. He fucks you through it, your body limp against him and toes still curling.
“I know you have another in you, bunny. Give me another one.”
You love Sakusa Kiyoomi, you really do, but he can be cruel sometimes. Well, if you can define edging followed by overstimulation as cruel.

Tumblr media
REKI
PLS he'd be so stressed out
he's taken care of drunk friends before and didn't even bat an eye but when it's you, he's a lot more concerned because you're his bby <3
will probably laugh a bit at your antics and take cute pictures of you
but then you’d get sick and he starts freaking out and looking up common signs of alcohol poisoning njgksdkdhskf
so he’s closing up at dope with manager oka when he gets a call from your phone number
he’s a little worried when he picks up and it’s your friend that’s calling him, and not you
“where’s y/n? are they okay? why can’t they talk to me?” he spits out without even taking a breath
oka and him are standing outside the shop
oka has one hand on the grate as he stares hard at reki, obviously concerned
“oh they’re fine! we were gonna meet up with our other friends to go to a party, but they go too drunk. ” your friend tells reki breezily.
reki hears your voice in the background, tiny and slurred, and his heart squeezes
“yea, i’m talking to him right now!” he hears your friend say to you. “yea, he’s coming right now...you want me to what?”
“hey,” your friend says directly into the receiver, taking to reki now “y/n said they miss you and they wanted to know if you miss them back”
“yeah, i miss them a lot” reki answers easily, exchanging glances with manager oka, who’s still looking confused and concerned
“y/n, he said he misses you too...why are you crying again?” your friend sighs, and reki’s heart clenches in his chest. “yeah, just come pick them up...please. i’ll send you the address”
reki hangs up and looks up at manager oka, who’s waiting for an explanation
“could you please give me a ride?” reki begs him, clasping his hands out in front of him.
and of course, manager oka says yes
when they arrive outside your friend’s place, reki thanks manager oka for the ride
“are you sure you got everything from here?” oka asks slightly uneasy about the situation. all reki told him was that you needed to see him—urgently
reki fumbles to take off his seatbelt and opens the car door
“yeah! i’m fine! thank you very much!” he says frantically.
“okay, call me if you need anything” oka frowns.
when your friend opens the door for reki, he kicks his shoes off and immediately is like “where are they?”
he’s led into your friend’s bedroom, to see you laying on your friend’s bed, wearing a short dress
you're crying face first into a pillow, not even noticing when reki and your friend stepped in the room
“hey, look who came to rescue you!” your friend grins, stepping into the bedroom after reki.
you slowly look up and blink some tears away to see reki standing by the door, looking at you anxiously
“reki?” you hiccup, struggling to sit up only to fall back down with a squeak.
reki’s heart twists as he watches you, before rushing over to help you with open arms.
“i’m here, baby, i’m here” reki sits on the bed and he pulls you upright. you slump into his chest like a rag doll and rubs soothing circles into your back. “you are so dumb for this”
“am not!” you weakly protest into his chest, your voice muffled.
"are too" reki counters, pressing a kiss against your forehead.
" 'was an accident..." you murmur, nuzzling your face against his chest
"no it wasn't" your friend clicks their tongue as you groan.
reki thanks your friend for taking care of you and for calling him before taking you back to your place.
you live just two down blocks from your friend's place so reki doesn't see the harm in walking
he thinks it may even be good for you
reki gives your his dope sketch sweater because all you're wearing is that short halter dress
tries to walk with his arm wrapped around your waist for support, but you're sagging against him heavily
so he just gives your a piggyback ride the rest of the way home
"oh my god, you're not wearing a hoodie right now..." you slur into his shoulder
"yeah, because i gave it to you" he hoists you higher up on his back and you giggle
“oh yeah,” you say.
you’re silent for a bit, before you lift your head off from reki’s shoulder and to reki’s horror, shout “y’all! this man gave me his hoodie! i think he gotta crush on me!😩🙈”
“shhh!!” reki hisses, pinching your thigh, which only makes you shriek. “people are trying to sleep! who are you even talking to??”
“the audience!” you announce, your voice booming through the empty street. reki rolls his eyes, not even wanting try arguing with you
“okay, okay just shut up please”
“you’re embarrassed because i told the audience that you gave your hoodie”
“okay then, tell the audience how you were crying for me to come see you”
“i...don’t recall that”
when you both finally make it to your home, you’ve quiet downed a little and reki is slightly relived/unsettled
he’s carrying you to your room until your tighten your grip around his neck and whimper “reki, i don’t feel good...”
reki bolts to the bathroom before placing you in front of the toilet just in time for you to get sick
he isn’t grossed out (he has three little sisters and he’s taken care of them when they’ve been sick) but he is shaken up
reki holds your hair back with one hand and alternates between rubbing your back and supporting you forehead with another—ALL WHILE scolding you for drinking so much dhjdjdbdjd
“you need to drink more responsibly! you shouldn’t of even be drinking! you’re underaged! oh my god, what did you even drink? how much did you drink?”
he can’t help it, he’s so worried for you
he’ll stop scolding you if you start crying tho, like how can he be upset at that?
wipes your mouth and kisses your temple before asking if your feeling better
when you say yes, he holds you up by your shoulders as you brush your teeth and rinse your mouth
he does your skin routine for you as best as he can (you have so many steps, it’s ungodly)
reki changes you into something more comfortable for bed and orders you to drink a glass of water
you’re so out of it that you comply, reluctantly of course
reki sits beside on you on your bed as you look at him glumly while you sip from the glass of water
“ahh, don’t give me those eyes. i’m making sure you don’t prune up” he pouts back at you, smoothing one of your eyebrows down with his thumb.
when you finish your water, he takes the glass for you and sets it your bedside table
“you have painkillers right? you’re gonna need them tomorrow morning” reki sighs as takes his jeans off to slip into bed with you
“in my drawer...” you murmur, your eyes half shut as you lay on your side. “are you gonna go?”
reki folds his jeans and places them on your desk, before walking back over to you
“nope, i gotta watch you for the night” he smiles softly at you and you give a shaky sigh of relief that makes reki’s heart burst
“it’ll be like a sleepover” reki says, as he slips next to you and turns on his side to face you
“a sexy sleepover” you nod, and reki frowns
“no...”
“...yes”
“you’re drunk”
“—in love, as our dear Beyoncé puts it” you slur, slightly grinning. reki doesn’t reply, staring at you disapprovingly, and you croak out— “we be all night! looooveeee—”
reki grabs your face with one hand, looking somewhere between horrified and amused
“i can’t stand you, right now” reki’s shoulders shaking with silent laughter
“but you’re already laying down—”
“enough, enough! roll over!” reki hisses, he points in the opposite direction with his finger
you giggle but comply
you feel reki’s hands wrap around your waist as he snuggled up from behind, spooning you
“i promise you, you won’t be laughing in the morning” he whispers into your ear as you begin to drift off
LANGA
just one big “?”
googling “how to take care of drunk person” with one hand with his other arm wrapped around your waist
alternates between confused and concerned
if you get sick, langa will actually call an ambulance—you have to tell him that you’re fine and even then he’s reluctant
you, langa, and reki all went to a party after S
you and reki are kinda amped, but langa isn’t enjoying himself all that much
people shouting across the room, shoving into him, the smell of alcohol—it’s all too much for him
so he’s like “ mkay, i’m out 🚶”
so he makes sure reki stays with you before walking to an isolated corner in the backyard to get some air
it hasn’t even been 30 minutes when you and reki stumble over to where he sits, arms wrapped around each other’s necks and giggling
langa watches the both of you stagger up to him with weary eyes, he already KNOWS that his night is gonna get stranger
“your darling, y/n, is drunk” reki announces, trying to keep a straight face
“reki is too!” you protest, stepping on reki’s foot causing him to yelp.
langa. exe has crashed
he realizes that he has to take care of the both of you,,,and he has no clue how
langa sits up from the planter he was sitting on and grabs both of your arms
“we’re going home” he says flatly, earning whines from both you and reki
langa drags you both to the front yard, as the both of you struggle in his grasp
“langaaa~ we didn’t even get to dance!” you whine, trying to break free from langa’s grasp
“langa, man, the party literally just started—” reki protests, struggling to get langa to let go of his arm. “holy hell, you’re strong”
“yea...it’s kinda hot” you murmur, slumping toward langa, who continues to drag you through the front door and onto the lawn. “langa, you’re so strong and hot, thank you for dating me”
when he’s dragged you both onto the sidewalk, he looks both ways down the street before asking “who lives closest to here?”
all of sudden, reki pitches forward to be sick
“langa! he’s dying, do something!” you wail, beginning to cry.
langa grips the back of reki’s hoodie to keep him from falling face forward
“okay” langa sighs as you drunkenly sob into his chest and reki moans, barely supporting himself. “i’m calling an adult”
he calls hiromi and begs him to come pick all three of you up
the three of you wait, sitting on the curb
langa is sitting between you and reki, an arm wrapped around you as you murmur nonsense into his chest and a hand clasped on reki’s shoulder who’s seeming a bit more lucid
“i promise you i’m fine! i get drunk quick but it fades away! let’s go back in!” reki pleads, earning a frown from langa
“y/n is still drunk, and you should probably go home” he looks down at you with sad eyes when you whimper against his chest. “i shouldn’t have let them drink”
hiromi brings the company car, shouting at the three of you as langa loads you and reki into car
hiromi is mad as hell but he still gets out to help langa buckle you in
langa offers for reki to come over to his house so he can monitor both
but hiromi grudgingly offers to watch reki because he knows there is no way langa can take care of you both
so hiromi drops you and langa off, telling him to call him if anything happens
langa carries you bridal style in his room and sits down on his bed with you in his lap
you blink up at him sleepily at him, holding onto his shoulders for support
“i don’t think you should’ve been drinking” he whispers, steadying you with his hands on your waist
“i don’t think i should have either” you murmur, before smushing your face into his neck. “i don’t wanna be drunk anymore, how do i stop?”
you sound close to crying and langa feels his stomach twist with panic because fuck, he doesn’t know either
he holds you against his chest with one arm and hastily whips out his phone, googling “how to stop being drunk”
cut him some slack y’all, he’s TRYING
he sees a “cold shower”, “plenty of sleep”, and “hydration” in the top results
sports mode langa: activated
carries you into the bathroom to give you a cold shower, but then you abruptly get sick and langa is like “!!?!!$!!??”
like reki, he’s gonna hold your hair and pat your back, but he’s too shook to scold you
says strange, earnest things like “you’re doing great!” and “you’re being very brave, i’m proud of you!”
unlike reki though, he’s slightly grossed out about by v*mit but he continues to be a dutiful boyfriend
waits until your done and you slump back against him, half asleep.
he decides the shower isn’t a GREAT idea with you being this groggy
langa isn’t letting you move an INCH
brushes your teeth for you—like he makes you open your mouth and gently brushes along your teeth
carries you to bed (he likes carrying you, he isn’t gonna lie)
he gives you one of his long sleeves to wear to bed and helps you out your clothes
langa holds a water bottle up to you lips and even tips your head back gently sjduslsjxjisej he’s so <333
his bed is pretty small and he’s pretty lanky, so he tucks you in, making sure you sleep on your side
he kneels on the floor beside you, his upper body resting on his bed and his face right next yours
langa holds your hand and watches you as you struggle to stay awake
“i’m sorry” you croak and langa kisses your finger
“don’t be sorry, it happens” he assures you quietly, his face slightly softening.
you blink bearily as you take in langa’s face, glowing in the moonlight shining through is window
“you’re so pretty” you murmur, weakly gripping his fingers. “i wish you could see yourself right now”
langa softly smiles at you as drift off
he watches you the whole night as you sleep, making sure you don’t skip a breath

Title: Truth or Dare
Pairing: San x gender neutral!reader
Word count: 2.2k
Triggers: cursing, alcohol, shirtless woosan for a hot minute, implications of sex towards the end (NOTHING GRAPHIC)
~
Okay, so in hindsight, maybe coming to Hongjoong's party knowing you were going to be here was a mistake. In his defense, the water probably wasn’t out of his ears when he told Wooyoung he would come, despite the latter having told him specifically you were going to be there. It probably caused some temporary brain damage. That, and San has never really made the best decision when it comes to crushes. 
Especially you. You’ve been the worst so far. Around all of the others, he’s been able to keep a measure of his confidence, able to flirt a little and initiate something here or there, if it’s reciprocated. But you...
You’re something else. Always have been, ever since Hongjoong introduced him to you in all your gorgeous glory. Which is probably why Wooyoung looked so surprised that San agreed to come without much trouble - he probably thought San would be chicken out immediately and he’d have to convince him. 
San’s here, though, several drinks in and very much buzzed if not drunk, sitting in a circle of people that includes you. Even five or six drunk adults away, San can feel his face heating up when you look in his direction and throw him a wink with that gorgeous smile spread across your face. 
His heart thumps a little faster.
“You look like an idiot,” Wooyoung hisses, jabbing him in the side. “What did I tell you about playing hard to get?”
San rolls his eyes. “Since when did your advice ever make enough sense for me to take it?”
Wooyoung huffs. “You look like a lovesick idiot,” he sniffs. 
San doesn’t deign to reply. 
“Okay, okay.” Hongjoong comes back from wherever he was and settles between Seonghwa and Mingi, a bottle in hand. “Shut up, everyone. We’re playing truth or dare.”
Someone raises an eyebrow. “What is this, high school?”
“The way you all act, I wouldn’t be surprised.” San stifles a laugh at your reply. 
“Says you.” Hongjoong snorts. 
You grin. “Did I ever exclude myself?”
Everyone breaks into laughter that Hongjoong has to calm before setting the bottle in the middle of the circle. “Rules are the same. Spin the bottle, if it lands on you, pick truth or dare. If you chicken out, take a shot.” He raises an eyebrow. “Got it?”
They all get it, even the ones who look a little like they’re on the way to passing out, and so truth or dare begins. 
It’s fun. That might just be because San has been drinking, but when Seonghwa is dared for the second time to write some gross in the air with his butt, he and Wooyoung are falling over each other with tipsy laughter. Hiccuping with giggles, San answers a question about who in this room he’d lick peanut butter off of - “Hongjoong, I like his body.” - and then takes off his shirt for five turns and keeps it off because it’s kind of hot, anyway, and he doesn’t really want to bother putting it back on. Wooyoung isn’t much better - he got dared to take off his pants but Seonghwa forced Yunho to amend it to his shirt, and San pats his friend’s pecs affectionately before the next person goes. 
Eventually, the bottle lands on you. You raise an eyebrow. “Truth.”
“Is there someone you like in this room?” Mingi blurts. 
There’s a chorus of groans, complaints of ‘Okay, this is too high school for me,’ and ‘For real, Mingi? Seriously?’, but San’s attention is on you and the way your expression has turned slightly uncertain for the first time tonight. You bite your lip, staring at the shot glass in your hand like you’re really contemplating chickening out, but then your eyes flicker up and in his direction. 
San’s breath catches in his throat. You didn’t look at him. You definitely didn’t. That was just coincidence. Don’t get your hopes up, San. 
“Alright, alright, shut up.” You raise your voice above the noise of people teasing Mingi. “The answer is yes. I do.”
The complaints turn into oooooohs and wolf whistles and ‘Who is it? Who is it?’ but you’ve already got the bottle in hand and are spinning it in the center of the circle. San barely notices, even when Wooyoung’s hand squeeze his knee - who is the person that you like? There’s like fifteen or twenty people here. It could be any one of them. It’s probably Yeosang. He’s pretty and everyone has had a crush on him at least once. Or Seonghwa? Maybe even Wooyoung?
Cheers erupt all around him and San looks up, startled, to see you glaring at the bottle like it personally wronged you in a past life. 
Because it’s pointing at you again. 
“Truth or dare, Y/N?” someone yells. 
Next to you, Yeosang whispers something in your ear. Your eyes widen. “You wouldn’t.”
“Oh, but I would.” Yeosang grins. 
You glare at the bottle some more. “Dare.”
“Everyone shut up, I’ve got this.” San watches in confused silence as Yeosang sits up. “Y/N...” A grin that looks more suited to Wooyoung spreads across his lips. “I dare you to kiss the prettiest person in this room.” 
San’s heart drops with every second that passes. He wants it to be him, badly wants it to be him, but in a room full of people who look like Seonghwa, who look like Dahyun, who look like Juyeon and Chaeyoung and Yeosang and - god, San can’t even list all of the names - 
How would it ever be him?
You make a very rude gesture to Yeosang that has everyone cracking up, but you don’t eye the shot glass this time. Instead, you throw your shoulders back and let your eyes rake over the room. 
“Wooyoung.”
San’s heart drops. Of course it’s Wooyoung, his best friend in every life, one of the prettiest people San himself has ever laid eyes on -
“Move over.” Suddenly, you’re up in San’s face, pushing Wooyoung away. He blinks. When did you come all the way over here? But he doesn’t even have time to ponder the answer to that question because your smile is so close, now, just half a foot separating your lips, and you’re reaching out a hand to cup his cheek and San is short-circuiting as you say -
“Stop me if you don’t want this, okay?”
San blinks. Don’t want what? His heart is beating so fast, faster even than when he catches the highest wave of the afternoon, you’re so close and this is all he’s ever wanted, why would you even imply that this is something he doesn’t want - 
Your lips press against his, and San’s mind goes blank. 
You’re kissing him. You’re kissing him. You’re kissing him because you think he’s the prettiest person in the room - he, San, Choi San, surfer boy who turned into a mess the day Hongjoong introduced him to you - you think he, of all people in the room, is the prettiest -
It occurs to him that he’s still shirtless. He doesn’t exactly know what to do with that information. 
You pull away and San gasps for breath, eyes staring wide into yours. You smile at him softly, lips slightly swollen with the kiss, and like he’s underwater, San can kind of hear everyone screaming and whistling and whatever in the background, but when you speak, suddenly, everything is crystal clear. 
“Was that okay?” you whisper. 
Yes. Yes. Oh, God, yes - San nods once, twice, three times and then blushes when your smile grows wider and the sparkle he likes so much turns brighter in your eye. 
Nothing he’s ever seen could be more beautiful than you right now, eyes sparkling and lips smiling under the dim lights of the party, pulling him forward for a second kiss.
. . .
The rest of the night passes in a blur. Truth or dare ends, San takes another couple of shots, and you’re somehow by his side the entire time until the party’s over. Both of you stay behind to help clean up a bit, but at around two, Seonghwa shoos the rest of you home, and Wooyoung meets up with San by the door to walk back to the apartment. 
“Move it, Woo.” You appear again, shoving Wooyoung out of the way. “I’m sure San won’t mind if I walk him home instead.”
A horrible grin splits Wooyoung’s features and he nods quickly, giving San a very unsubtle wink made worse by the fact that he drank way more than San did after the game. “Sannie, do you mind?” he asks. Then, not waiting for an answer, he loops an arm through Yeosang’s, who looks very confused. “I’ll see you at home! Or not!”
You and San walk out of the house in silence, mostly because San has too many thoughts at the moment and they’re all jumbling up into one big mess. The euphoria from kissing you earlier has worn off slightly as the alcohol left his system - he’s mostly sober now - which means he’s thinking. Too much. 
“San.” You look over at him, a streetlamp lighting your face. “Come on, I won’t bite.” You smile. “If you have something to ask me, you can say it.”
He blinks. Blinks again. Then, as though your words unleashed a flood in his brain, he asks - 
“Did you really think I was the prettiest person in the room?”
You stare at him, eyes narrowed and surprisingly lucid given how the party went. “Yes, I did. I still do.”
Oh. Oh, okay. San feels a little like he needs to sit down. So the kiss wasn’t just a one time thing - you’d do it again, probably, if he’s interpreting your words correctly - 
“Why?”
This time, you look a little incredulous when the word leaves his mouth. Then you shake your head. “You really don’t think you’re beautiful, do you.” It isn’t a question. 
San ducks his head. For all his usual surfer bravado, the confident face and smile he presents when he’s about to hit the waves, he can’t seem to find the courage to look at you in this moment, to let you really see everything brewing behind his eyes. 
Fingers settle under his chin and tip it up so that he’s looking at you again. “I don’t bite, San,” you remind him again, still smiling. “I happen to think you’re very pretty. Beautiful. And even though I still want to slap Yeosang over the head, I’m very glad he gave me the opportunity to show that tonight.” Your fingers walk upwards to cup his cheek the same way you did when you kissed him. “In case you were wondering, by the way, you were the one I was talking about when I said I liked someone. And I didn’t only kiss you just because you were shirtless.”
A small smile settles on San’s face. It’s strange, the way you seem to be able to read his mind without him saying anything, but that doesn’t mean he doesn’t like it. “I like you too.”
“I know. It was a little obvious.” You laugh when San whines, going red under your touch. “I wanted to say something before, kind of ever since I saw you in that wetsuit when Hongjoong introduced us, but it felt like I’d scare you away.” You raise an eyebrow. “Am I scaring you away now?”
Are you scaring him? A little, kind of, but not in a bad way. It’s more like you thrill him, make his heart race faster and faster the longer your fingers linger on his skin. You’re not scaring him away. If anything, you’re scaring him towards you - it’s weird, but that’s the only way San can describe it. He shakes his head. “No.”
“Good.” You grin. “Because if I was scaring you, you probably wouldn’t want to kiss me, and right now I really want to kiss you again.”
Your lips meet once, twice, three times under the dull glare of the lamp on the empty street, San’s arms settling around your waist, your hands coming up to wrap around his neck. When you break away after the third kiss, eyes hooded and lips swollen enough to make San’s mouth go dry, a soft glint appears in your expression. “Want to come home with me?” you ask. “My roommate’s out of town.” San follows the movement of your eyelashes as you blink. It’s captivating. “Feel free to say no. I won't take offense.” 
If it were anyone else, San doesn’t know if he’d believe them. He might stop it here politely, even tipsy as he is, and ask to just go back to his place instead. But he trusts you. Has trusted you from the day he met you. Because nothing in your words or your face ever seems to mask a lie, and besides, his fingers are itching to find their way up your shirt and somewhere else as he kisses you again and again -
He kisses you, laughing against your lips. “I guess I should let Wooyoung know I’m not coming back tonight.”
“Oh, he’ll get the message even if you don’t say anything.” Your grin is brighter than the stars. “Come on, pretty boy.” You kiss him again. “Let me show you how beautiful I think you are.”

sweet - peter parker
Tumblr media
paring: peter parker x reader
summary: sweet/i thought you wanted to dance: tyler, the creator - midtown high’s spring formal was a night every student was looking forward to, so when peter ditches you halfway through with no explanation, you knew something was up.
word count: 0.7k
warnings: swearing and the smallest bit angsty in part one, but very sweet ending in part two!
requested: no, but feel free too if requests are open
a/n: this is one of 5 of the concepts in my 100 followers celebration. ive changed it so requests are open until i finish all of my planned blurbs! this is part one of two blurbs btw!
Tumblr media
“Yes, Peter, I’ll go to the Spring Formal with you.”
Yes.
Yes…
...was the simple three-letter word that felt like a signature printed on a dreaded contract of regret. Why did agreeing to attend the spring formal with the boy who was always on your mind put your brain into endless circles for just trying to keep tabs on your date.
For the past few weeks, every time you saw Peter’s bright and shiny freckled face, he always had to go. Whether it was for his Stark internship or helping out his Aunt May, Peter’s many excuses started to make you think he hated you, and with a burning passion too.
Rumors cleared up after you saw how much of a nervous wreck Peter was mustering up the courage to ask you to the dance. Peter flustered was adorable, and you smiled big as he attempted to make out coherent sentences.
Yes, currently, Peter Parker was alive, breathing, and standing right in front of you amidst the chaos taking place in the school dance, but the look now present on his face meant he was up to something. Every single time Parker was about to head sprinting in the opposite direction, for god knows what, he had that same frazzled expression where his brows furrowed, and he curled his lips into a thin fine line.
“Y/N, I hate to do this,” Peter spoke over the loud music filling the ears of the crowd goers inside of the gym, breaking you out of thought. Hundreds of Midtown high schoolers seemed to be having the time of their lives from the many joyous looks among their faces. You, however, were not.
Ahh, there it is.
“I was looking forward to this as much as you were, but I really,” Peter began, lacing his fingers together as he spoke.
“Have to get going.” Peter finished, and you spoke with him, both of your phrases coming out in unison.
It was his go-to, his one-way ticket out of any given situation. Whether he was hanging out with your friends, getting out of the decathlon, or even now in ditching his date to the dance, Peter always got his ticket out.
“I’m sorry, Y/N, I will make it up to you. Someway, somehow…”
Typical. You should have known this would have been the result of your too-good-to-be-true evening with Peter. Next came the rambling, oh how you loved to hear him speak, but oh how you hated when he made up some lame excuse as to why he had to go.
“...and I truly like you, a lot. Tonight I had this whole plan and I-”
“Just go, Peter.” You cut in, looking down as you spoke. “It’s fine, just go.”
“You're not mad?”
“I’m not mad,” you huffed, pursing your lips as you slowly looked up to Peter’s expression. “Disappointed, but not mad. Go.”
Peter nodded, each move up and down slowly becoming less subtle before he flew out of the gym without looking back. With Peter gone, you were left standing in the middle of the gym, everything a blur and felt like background noise as tears filled to the brim of your eyes. These droplets soon got wiped clean as an idea came to mind.
Quickly, an idea sparked, and you decided to follow him moments after his grand escape, moving down school halls and out of the front door, before you now found him in a nearby alley. The sky was pitch black, and you shivered as your bare shoulders touched the spring air.
Here is not the best place to be after dark on a Friday night. Now, did curiosity kill the cat? Well, you sure as hell were about to find out today.
A dumpster became your new hiding spot as you watched Peter from afar. He was digging down deep into his school backpack for something huge, and Peter seemed to struggle as he pulled out the item stuck to the bottom of his bag.
You could hardly make out the item he had folded in his hand, but it did appear to be some form of an article of clothing.
“What the-” You murmured in an extremely hushed tone. Peter ripped off his formal suit, in which you quickly looked away once you saw hints of his exposed skin. Out of the corner of your eye, you saw a web being stuck to the side of the nearby building, making you turn around and watching Peter in his spider form filled your face with emotes of shock, horror, satisfaction, and joy.
Peter fucking Parker was the Spiderman.
“Holy Sh-”
