Leon Kennedy is Autistic: An Analysis by an Autistic Person
DISCLAIMER: This post and all the points I make are highly based on my OWN experiences. I often find parallels between my experiences as a disabled individual and characters I love to help me better cope with and process my feelings. Hate will not be tolerated!!!
Before I get started, I’d like to say that this is not even me scratching the SURFACE of the things I could analyze about Leon and apply to various autistic experiences, this is mostly just the things that resonate with me the most.
Parallel Play/Preferring to Work Alone
It could be attributed to trauma, and the fact he works in a government agency, but Leon has always been the flying solo type. Missions in which it would be better if multiple people worked on it (RE4) HOWEVER! Whenever he does work with others, he often goes off on his own and leaves whoever he's with to deal with what's there (DI, Leon going off immediately after being vaccinated by Rebecca)
Tumblr media
Difficulty Communicating/Identifying Emotions
This also plays into the difficulty making friends and maintaining friendships aspect of being autistic. There isn't any direct/obvious representations of this occurring in the franchise, but it can be inferred based upon his interaction with Chris and Rebecca in RE: Vendetta when the two try to recruit Leon on their mission because of the intel he has on the type of BOWs they're dealing with. Speaking of RE: Vendetta, it can also be noted that Leon copes with his inability to cope with/regulate his emotions by drinking, and this is a habit he always had. In fact, he's essentially hung over in RE2, having drunk his feelings away after being broken up with the night before the Raccoon City incident, and he is literally drinking on the job in Damnation. Essentially, he's canonically an alcoholic. As an autistic person, sometimes I would turn to unhealthy coping mechanisms to deal with my emotional dysregulation, especially when I was unaware that I was autistic.
Leon isn't a very emotional person in general, again, It could be chalked up to trauma, but lack of emotional expression is also a common experience/trait amongst autistics.
“Inappropriate” Responses to Situations
GODDDD this one is SO prominent in RE4R (hell, even the OG), Infinite Darkness actually everything he's in, I can name at LEAST 2 examples of this. To keep this short, I'll just name ones that I relate painfully hard to, and ones that I find hilarious.
To start, WHENEVR HE JUST SAYS "ok 🧍" in response to an emotional moment. RE2R, when Claire introduces him to Sherry, in RE4R, when Ashley hugs him and expresses her relief that he's okay, and in Infinite Darkness whenever he checks up on Patrick after the White House Outbreak. It never fails to make me lose it because he's just like me fr.
Thists a sillier one, but I want to mention it because it's so mecore.
Thank you to @highball66 for doing the lord's work of translating the Death Island manga yall seriously he’s a legend🙏
When Leon sends selfies of him on missions. That's it. He just sends it to Hunnigan and I think it's great.
Tumblr media
Sensory Issues
Okay, I KNOW LEON IS A GOVERNMENT AGENT AND NEEDS SOME LEVEL OF GEAR ON MISSIONS BUT!!!!! Half the time he isn't even wearing a full set, not even a bullet proof vest. HOWEVER, I did notice that one thing he CONSISTENTLY wears (with the exception of a few instances) is GLOVES!!! This is more of a personal headcannon, but I like to think he's sensitive to texture, especially when handling guns and such, so he wears gloves, so it doesn't feel as terrible. To further back up his sensitivity to texture, in Death Island, after the Dylan BOW explodes and splashes water everywhere, Chris doesn't seem to care about being covered in water while Leon is flicking the water off him.
Tumblr media
Literal Thinking - Coming off as Rude/Inappropriate Unintentionally
GODDDDD this is another big one, but I’ll only cover the ones that I relate to a lot to save time. Starting with his initial encounter with Jill in Death Island, they’re being chased by lickers and…well..this interaction
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Exhibit B: This scene. He’s just so nonchalant about it and I do the exact same thing without like…intentionally being a “smartass” or whatever, I’m just being honest 🧍. Jill’s “Oh😒” at the end of the scene is really what made it hit home, because that’s how people typically react when i have a similar interaction with them
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
ANOTHER THING!!! All of the instances in which Leon casually asks “so you wanna get dinner?” Or something along those lines. It’s often interpreted as a poor attempt at flirting, but personally, I think he genuinely just wants food, and he doesn’t understand why ppl are like 🤨 when he asks. He just wants a nice dinner with a nice lady :(
Hyper-empathy
Small disclaimer here, autism is a SPECTRUM. And our empathy levels fluctuate every day. In Leon’s case, I see him being hyper-empathetic, much like myself. And being able to empathize so easily with people is incredibly draining. Additionally, a huge thing that is common among autistics is how we tend to respond to people who are sharing their struggles with us sharing our OWN experiences that are similar to theirs, and it often comes off as egocentric and selfish to “make it about us”, but in reality, that’s our way of saying that we understand what you’re going through, and it helps us process how you may be feeling as well. There are many scenes I could pull from, but I want to talk about one specifically in Infinite Darkness since it resonates so much with me:
The scene within ID in which Jason is having a nightmare, and Leon wakes him up, immediately asking him if he wants to talk about it. Jason recalls the nightmare and his trauma about Penamstan to Leon, and says that he has no idea what it was like, and Leon responds talking about his experience in Raccoon City, and how that affected him similarly
Tumblr media
Special Interests & Using Media to Communicate Feelings
There are many aspects of this I could talk about, but I’ve already written 10 pages worth already in this post, so I’ll speed through it.
Personally, I think Leon has a special interest in film! He makes several references throughout the franchise, many of which are overlooked. Personally, my favorite reference he makes is in RE: Vendetta to Pulp Fiction (I think) when Chris and Rebecca confront him during his “vacation”
Tumblr media
Final Notes/Conclusion
I had to cut a LOT out from my original mini-essay I wrote about this to fit it better on here, and make it not as boring to read lmao, but I hope you enjoyed my silly little analysis! I love being able to relate my experiences to others, fictional or otherwise, as it helps me feel less alone, and be able to process and cope with what makes my disability a…well, a disability. I hope fellow autistics find some solace in this as well, and please let me know your additional thoughts about this topic if you’re a fellow autistic Leon Kennedy headcannoner!!!

Friends? , Friends
Tumblr media
*requests are welcome :)*
“I need your help” Sherlock begged Edith. “With what Holmes? , learning about women’s rights” she retorted. He obviously had pissed her off. I keep walking up the stairs to the fighting voices. “Enola is in trouble Edith , can you hear me out , she will hang” Sherlock pleads walking after Edith. I stand at the top of the stairs looking at the scene. Neither of them had seen me yet. Edith turned and looked at him “what do you mean she’ll hang?”. “Your being dramatic, Holmes, she’s not going to hang” I say.
Sherlock turns to me with tears in his eyes. He truly cared for his sister. I hadn’t seen him like this in years. “Ríona , they said they’ll hang her , she’s been found guilty” He fumed. I smiled. “Do you not care , Ríona , the girl you think of as a daughter is going to hang” Sherlock spat. Edith looked at me with a knowing look. “She won’t hang Sherlock , in fact she should be arriving in” I looked at my pocket watch 23:45 “oh actually any minute , so pull your self out of your state” I smiled. Edith smiles “how did you know”. “I have my people in high and low places , you know that , and I always figure things out” I answered looking at Sherlock .Sherlock stood looking at me from across the room .“I need to go tell enola I’ll see her later” Edith announced after a few moments of silence.
The door downstairs opened and closed and a series of footsteps followed up the stairs. “Ríona , are you here” enola shouted up the stairs. Sherlock walked over as far as me and waited beside me. Enola came to the top of the stairs and ran towards me as I opened my arms. She hugged me hard and started to cry a little. “Your ok , I’d never let something happen to you” I whisper. I see Sherlock looking at me from the side. “Hug your brother”I whisper in her ear only loud enough for her to hear. I let and go and she bolts into his arms.
Sherlock stumbles while catching her. He holds her tightly. I stare at the reunited siblings with a smile. Sherlock looks up from hugging Enola and mouths “thank you”. I nod back. A chilling shiver goes up my spine lifting all the goosebumps over my body. I forgot how cold it was tonight , I had ran here hoping to arrive before enola. I didn’t even grab a coat so all I was wearing was a shirt and black suits pants just fitted to my womanly shape as the seamstress called it. Enola breaks away from Sherlock’s embrace and looks at me.
“Where am I staying tonight , Ríona , I can’t go back to my apartment can I” she asks . “You can stay with me if you’d like or you can stay with Sherlock, it’s up to you darling”. “Can I stay with Ríona Sherlock , please” Enola questions. Sherlock looks between us “of course”. Enola yawns “can we go I’m tired”. I nodded again “you get a carriage to my apartment and I’ll be there with in a hour , you know where my key is yes” I said. Enola said her goodbye as we all walked down the stairs . She waved at Sherlock and left in the carriage.
I shivered again for the second time in the last five minutes. I know he saw or else he wouldn’t be looking. “Your cold” He stated. I looked him in the eyes. “I’m fine” I explained. He looked away and smiled. “Just admit it your cold” “I’m not cold”. I shiver again. “Don’t..you..dare” I warned. “I didn’t say a word”he pleaded. I look back down the street just in time to see enolas carriage turn right at the end of the road. Before I can turn back to Sherlock , I feel a warmth engulf me. I turn to Sherlock to see him fixing his suit jacket. He had just put his jacket on my shoulders. He just had to be nice. “Thank you” I whisper. He smiles back at me , a proper smile. “Where are you going” he asks. I fix the jacket on me considering it was at least 5 times my size. “I need to go back to my office and get something , why?” I reply. He holds out his arm. “I’ll walk you to your office then I’ll walk you home” he explains. I take his arm and we begin to walk. “Are we friends again?” “You want us to be friends again sherlock?” “Yes yes I do” “ok Mr Holmes , we can be friends again as long as you promise not to leave again” . He laughs “I can promise you I would leave you again”.

STAAARRR I NEED UR ADvice . PLZ
ok so theres this concert happening next thursday that i may or may not already have bought tickeys for without asking my parents and my parents are VERY STRICT AND WILL NEVER ALLOW ME TO GO TO A CONCERT AT ALL. ESP AT THE TIME ITSBAT (8-10 PM SO ITS LATE) AND SO . I was being a little devious and thought of some excuses. that it was a dinner conference for my internship which i had to go to bcs i didnt go to the one during the winter. which came off well to my mom but her only response was “ohhj thays late…its ok ur dad can wait outside the venue” UMMMMMMMMMMMmzzzzzzUELP . I did research and the venue is literally ONE HUGE ROOM. LIKE THE EXITS LEAD STRAIGHT TO THE STAGE AND THE FLOOR SO I CANT EVEN BE LIKE “oh there was a concert and a conference happening at the same time” AGH! AND THEN MY FRIEND DID RESEARCH ONLINE THRU GOOGLE IMAGES AND SAW THAT EVEN THO THE VENUE IS INT HE CITY, THERE MIGHT ACTUALLY BE PARKING RIGHT IN FRONT OF THE VENUE BCS OF HOW WIDE THE STREETS ARE. SO MY DAD CANT EVEN WAIT LIKE 5 BLOCKS AWAY IM CRURITKEKEJTKJFKEJ. AND ALSO ITS LIKE…IN THE CITY. WHOSE ACTUALLY DRIVING TO THE CITY PEOPLE USUALLY USE PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION. IM GOING TO SOB. THERES NO GUARANTEE THAT THE STREETS WILL BE FULL OF CARS BCS OF THAT.
so we made another plan. i think she forgot abt the conference for now bcsssaaa i mentioned it sometime last week but like. now my excuse is that my boss gave me a ticket to bring a friend and so im gonna “bring” my girlfriend. and then ill say that my gf has to do smth w her family the next day so its more convenient for her dad to pick us up and drop us off bcs he was gonna come do that anyway.
on monday, my friends and i r literally going to the venue to scout the area out im being so fr 😭😭💀
do u think itll work be honest. im also terrified of even bringing up the “conference” again bcs idk im jist SCARED 😭😭😭 But i wanna go to the concert so bad plslslsl WHAT DONU THINK. I need multipple BRAINS ON THIS. HOW DO I BRING UP THE CONFERENCE AGAIN TO MY MOM
- a very desperate and malding 💫
HELDPXPSOLEKRKRKFMEKRKKTNT THIS STRESSED ME OUT SO BAD JUST READING IT OH MY GOD 😭😭😭😭 idk if you’ve ever seen the movie New York Minute w Mary Kate & Ashley Olsen but this literally sounds like that movie JSKDKLDSKWOEKKRRK ANYWAYS my first thought before I finished even reading this was that you need to get a ride home from ur FRIENDDDD there is literally no way around it I’m almost 100% sure that if your dad waits outside the “conference” for you he’s going to know what’s going on 😭😭 but I think it makes total sense to say that your friend has something the next day so you need to get picked up by your friends’ family! Don’t even phrase it as a suggestion or a question just straight up be like “yeah her parents are picking me up so I’ll let you know when we’re all on the way home” and be as casual about it as possible! Don’t say anything that might invite more questions 😭 AND if worse case scenario you do get caught, just say there was a change of plans (keep it very vague) but don’t pile on more lies, just be mostly honest w them. Like “yeah there was a change of plans so my friends and I opted to go to this event instead but I didn’t think it’d be a big deal because I already told you guys I’d be busy that day” and if they scold you then just let it happen and don’t argue more! Parents just want you to be safe at the end of the day so you can’t blame them too much but also I don’t see an issue going to a concert if you already said you’d be out, I change plans all the time and as long as I get home safely and answer the phone when my parents call they’re usually okay w it. GOOD LUCK BESTIE LMK HOW IT GOES……… also have fun at the concert wtaf that sounds so exciting!!!! Be safe please!!!!! 🩷💘💝💓💞💖💕🫶👼✨

ok hi imma rant idc idc idc just plz tolerate the mental illness for a min so sorry i h8 sending asks bc i feel like ppl will get mad at me bc i type silly and interacting irl is so much easier for me but i know no one i can say these things to irl. but anyways whoever tf keeps shitting on gnc lesbians can stfu like your gender conforming hettie ass will never understand. it is so fucking lonely and isolating being a masc lesbian (or any kind of gnc woman) i desisted my senior year and ended up in a mental hospital partially bc i knew literally no one like me. like fucking imagine you go out every day and you literally never see a person like you. idk whenever i beat the dysphoria all the way (i am almost there cbt is a beautiful thing) im goin back to my based idc about pronouns era but no one better give me shit for temporarily choosing what is currently the most socially acceptable route for gnc lesbians. like how tf am i supposed to function i get scowled at in public ppl avoid me i know exactly 2 masc lesbians i met one in the psych ward the other im tryna fuck but idk if she’s ghosting me or in court ordered rehab rn soo. im not attracted to feminine women whatsoever it’s so sad bc they are all in love wit me and i can’t even tell my friends im not attracted to them bc they’ll be like “oh you’re lesbian/str8 that means you’re attracted to femininity kinda transphobic to be exclusively into masculine afabs” bc everyone equate woman wit femininity i am so close to being t4t gay trans man istg at least then i’d have a dating pool bc all the masc women transitioned and like it’s understandable like i get it fr i was there too i’m still there sort of. like they did nothing wrong they were just lied to and i’m so sad for them bc like i remember being suicidal bc of dysphoria but like there’s things you can do to make it better i wish i could tell them i wish it wasn’t so fucked up i wish it wasn’t so lonely i wish i had some drugs im too broke rn i wish she would get out of rehab and text me back she’s so hot i just want 1 person who knows and understands but like ughhhh i want gender to be abolished i hate it
Tumblr media

Words to create line the under text feature (ie ignore this post unless you want to be assailed with negative vibes)
ok so like i should definitely leave the gc and maybe contact them so that I stop receiving messages about that one church group. Like I just got another email and since like confidentiality the subject line/sender is no longer the name of the church group and is instead just our city name I opened it and like jump scare fr. Like my heart drops and I feel bad every time. like i DONT want to be part of this I’ve confirmed it mentally through self reflection and a lot of internal thought. But they don’t know that. So I can’t blame them for me still getting their stuff. Like I haven’t even officially left the gc k just like muted the slack and changed my settings to always say that I’m away. Like dang it stresses me out seeing it. Like as I always go over I’m still within my faith I just really don’t want to be part of the group like it did make me more sad about myself and that matters to me. It matters the way I view an unchangeable aspect of myself. Anyways yeah those church group people are so lovely like I care for them deeply but I won’t be pulling up to their social or anything. Idk what I’d say if they do reach out to me though. Like idk if I’ll take the oh I’m taking 18 credits and am busy route or if I’ll be honest and be like while y’all are lovely and I’m still Catholic I want to distance myself from this ministry specifically, like I want to be involved in the church community just not this part of it. I hope y’all get that. But then like I can’t explain that it’s for I’m accepting myself reasons and not I’m shunning myself reasons. Like man it’s all so complex and maybe it won’t even come to fruition. But I think it will bc they know me and I’ve attended like two of their birthday parties so it’s not like they don’t know me. They know me so deeply and I don’t want to be known in that way. I think about the way one of the leaders would look at me when I would share my experiences and it’s so deep and personal and I can still feel it now. It is like feeling like being flayed alive ghat level of vulnerability; you can see all of me. I keep going back to “I’ll never be married in the eyes of my God” but that’s not the end all be all And i need to accept that. It’s something I’ve sctively been working on. I had a discussion with my fellow lesbian friend the other day and I mentioned the tie thing I’ve talked about before about me dad and she responded well maybe you can tie your girlfriends tie. And in moment I just said yeah in a sad voice but isn’t that what I want,, kinda of yeah. Like idek where I was going with this but also I do. Anyways wall of text of my inner thoughts bc when do I not. Anyways yeah board game Social email had me feeling unwell this fine Monday evening.

Sweet As Honey 18
Hello everyone! Here she is! Thank you all so much for being so patient with me and this chapter. I hope it lives up to the hype and the wait lol. I'd also like to say that I will still be writing and finishing this series as well as my other in progress ones. However, I'm currently feeling like I'm not that interested in Harry right now and I feel like it's mostly all the drama and everything going on with him right now so updates will be slow. Also I've changed my theme to a Marvel x One Direction theme because I've decided to take one of my Bucky Barnes plot and actually publish it. I'll still post Harry because of course I love him but he won't be the main focus of this blog anymore.
Thanks for waiting and reading. Hope you enjoy the chapter! X
Tumblr media
Harry's good under pressure. At least looking from the outside in, he is. It's a skills he's picked up from boxing. Always pretend you know what's going on. No surprises, no shocks. If he's in a fight and his opponent is stronger or faster than he originally thought, he doesn't show it. Acting like it was expected, like he planned it rattles others and helps him maintain his grace.
He keeps that same approach when it comes to interviews.
Liam meets him outside the gym, waving with a bright smile that Harry just smiles at, shocked to find his trainer in the parking garage rather than the ring.
"What's going on mate?" Harry greets, trying to step around him to get to the stairs but Liam halts him with a hand on his shoulder.
"Gotta reporter here who wants to chat with you about recovering from your concussion and reaching the finals."
His tone is laced with hesitance, lips pursed in suppressed grimace and Harry doesn't blame him. Liam knows how much Harry hates interviews. They're his least favorite part of the job. He's here to box and get paid, to provide for his family, not to tell the world every detail of his life.
"Oh," Harry mumbles, shrugging and stepping up to the door. "Alright. Only for a few minutes though, wanna get home a little early today."
If Liam is surprised by Harry's ease he doesn't show it. "Got something going on?"
Harry follows Liam inside, nodding to Mark at the front desk. "Y/n has just been exhausted lately and Arlo can't spend a second alone without screaming bloody murder. Just want to be there to make sure she's resting and Arlo's not being a pest."
"He's your son, of course he's being in a pest."
The comment leaves too much pride in Harry's chest for him to even care that Liam just insisted he himself is a pest. Besides, Harry knows he's clingy and a little too attached but that's just how his relationship with y/n is, and they love it.
In his private locker room,Harry finds the reporter, a young girl who can't be too far out of undergrad with dark hair and a bright red lips. She's sat on the bench, a notepad on her thigh and her phone resting next to it.
"Hello Mr. Styles." She greets, shaking his hand when he approaches her. "I'm Rebecca Weese."
Harry takes a seat next to her, nodding. "Nice to meet you. I don't have a lot of time today but I can answer a few of your questions if we can make it quick." He smiles guiltily, hoping to not come off as rude.
She nods, immediately glancing down at her notepad and crossing some things out. Harry assumes they're questions she's decided aren't important enough. "Is it ok if I record this? Just sound of course."
Again, he nods, fiddling with the strings of his hoodie as he waits for her to begin. Tapping at her phone, she places it between them to catch both voices and then scans her notes again.
"Correct me if I'm wrong but you've only been boxing for a few years, right?"
Harry shrugs. "I trained a lot when I was teenager, worked under Ted until he decided to bring me up to the pros. Was about 20 I think when that happened." He tries to stay vague, knowing he can't tell the public that his "training" was an illegal boxing ring.
"Five-Six years is a short amount of time to be included in a tournament like this one. Most contenders are well into their careers before being qualified to participate. What do you think has been the main factor in your success?"
Routine question, and he's got a routine answer. "I was fortunate enough to figure out early on that boxing is what I wanted to do and I think that helped out a lot. I also got a very good team behind me. My trainer, manager, my wife, they're all the main factors in my success. I'm very grateful to have them."
Rebecca smiles a bit, jotting down a few words. "Does your wife work in the industry?"
It's her casual tone, as if she were a friend just wanting to hear him brag about his lover that has him answering so honestly.
"No she works in design but I met her early in my career and she's always supported me. Takes care of me after bad matches and whatnot, always comes to my fights even if it means being on her feet for hours. Which isn't exactly her favorite thing at the moment with the baby-"
Harry stops, eyes widening a bit at what he's just revealed. Part of him wishes desperately that Rebecca didn't hear him but he knows that's impossible.
"I didn't know you're a father," she says kindly, sensing his panic. "Do you want to talk about it more or should I scratch that part?"
He doesn't know what makes him say it. A year ago he'd have fled the room if he were questioned about his family. Harry likes to keep them separate, to keep his kids away from his boxing. It's possibly a small part of him that's conditioned to keep his work a secret from his family even if he doesn't have to. But Rebecca's offer to drop the whole topic is what breaks him.
"S'ok," he says "I've got a son that's about a year old and another on the way."
Her eyes light up, beaming at him and he grins shyly but somehow proudly at the same time. "That's awesome. Congrats. I know your son's young but does he have any part in your career? Influence maybe?"
"He doesn't watch any of my fights or anything. Too young to be around violence like that but he does affect my fighting in a way. I used to go into boxing with just the mentality that I'm doing something I love, but now I've got the added success. A win means more support for my family and I want them to always have what they need so I've got sort of an edge there."
"Like having something to fight for?" She confirms, and Harry nods immediately.
"Yeah. I'd do anything for them and I think that makes me a bit dangerous in the ring."
No matter what, he'll always be fighting for them. Everything he does is for y/n and his boys.

The house smalls of tomato sauce and pasta when Harry walks in, mouth instantly watering and stomach rumbling. He had a light breakfast this morning before going to the gym and now that's he burnt off all that energy he reckons he could eat a horse. Dropping his keys on the table in the entryway, toeing off his sneakers, and dropping his gym bag to the floor, Harry makes a beeline for the kitchen. He's so caught up in wanting to eat he doesn't notice the TV playing a Disney movie or the two figures sprawled out on the couch until one of them is calling for him.
"Daddy!" Arlo's head pops up over the cushions, dimples sunk into his cheeks and eyes bright. Harry immediately changes course, coming up behind the couch and meeting Arlo's outstretched arms.
"'Ello bug," Harry greets, smacking a kiss to his cheek. Arlo coos happily, curling up against Harry's shoulder. Y/n is watching them with a small smile, a hand resting easily over the stretched fabric of his tee-shirt she's wearing. "And hello darling." He leans over the back of the couch to press a crooked kiss to her lips.
"Hi baby," she sits up, smiling dreamily at him. "How was the gym?"
Harry shrugs, adjusting Arlo on his hip. "Was good. I had an interview today about finals and....stuff." Her eyebrow quirks up at his hesitancy to continue.
"What stuff?"
Gnawing on his bottom lip, Harry drops his gaze to Arlo. "You, Arlo, the baby." She doesn't respond immediately and he knows it’s because she’s trying to analyze him. He's fairly private about his family, especially his children and the only reason he'd informed the world of Arlo was to get people off his back about leaving y/n, so he knows she's probably confused by his ease with talking about the new baby.
"How'd it go?" She asks, pushing herself up from the couch with a hand on her belly. Without hesitation Harry reaches out to place his free hand over hers, moving her with him towards the kitchen. "Where are we going?"
"M'starving darling," he says and his stomach grumbles in agreement, making Arlo gurgling back and nudge his foot into Harry's tummy. "But interview went well. Announced the pregnancy."
"You did?" She questions, perching herself on the counter stool with wide eyes. "Seems a bit early compared to Arlo's announcement."
Managing as best he can with one free hand, Harry retrieves a bowl from the cabinet and serves himself a heaping mountain of spaghetti. "Just came out if m'being honest," he shrugs, settling into the stool next to her with Arlo still glued to his lap. "'sides it's different this time. He was my first baby and I was scared."
He doesn't realize that she's fallen silent until he's slurping back noodles and she doesn't scold him. Curiously, Harry rotates just enough to look at her. Y/n is staring at him, eyes big and moony when he mumbles a suspicious "wha'?"
"You were scared?"
Swallowing down his food, he nods. Her intent gaze brings a blush to his cheeks and he has to drop his eyes to peer down at Arlo. "Y-yeah. Didn't know if he'd like me as his dad, ya know?"
Harry's never said those words out loud, now that he's come to think of it. Whenever something's pertained to Arlo, Harry was always the positive reinforcement, the one reassuring y/n about them stepping into parenthood. He never really told her how much it scared him because he didn't want to scare her.
"I-I didn't know that," she mumbles. "Why didn't you say anything?"
He shrugs, lifting his gaze from Arlo to y/n. "Because I wanted to be a good dad. Ya know, like the kind that can kill spiders and scare aware bad dreams.....Just wanted to be strong I guess."
He doesn't say it, but he knows she's picked up the fear he won't acknowledge. He doesn't want to be his dad. His father was great but the sad thing is, everything great about him was brought out by alcohol. Des needed that poison to combat his own fears and insecurities, and Harry doesn't want to be like that too. He doesn't want to leave his kids the same way he was left.
"Being scared doesn't make you weak Harry."
She leans over to press a tender kiss to his jaw, belly brushing against his side, and he thinks about those words for the remainder of the day.
~
Crouched down, Harry steers the shopping cart with one hand and guides Arlo along with the other one. By the way he's trudging along, Harry knows Arlo is getting tired of walking. It's good for him to practice though, so Harry leads him along for another few minutes before scooping him up in one arm.
"Did so well bug." Harry compliments, pecking Arlo's cheek. The toddler curls up into his chest, yawning. It's a bit difficult steering the cart with one hand but Harry manages, steadily making his way up and down each aisle. He gets baby cereal for Arlo, a couple bags of puffy hot Cheetos to stash in the cabinets, and he's stocking up on y/n's latest craving (spaghetti-o's and meatballs) when a familiar face rounds the corner.
Zayn is pushing a cart filled groceries, eyes scanning up and down the shelves and Harry curses under his breath. The last person he wants to see right now is Zayn. Last time they had a run in he said something that bothered y/n and Harry never wants anything to bother his girl.
In an attempt to hide, Harry pulls his hood up over his head, shrinking into his pullover and craning his neck to not make eye contact with his old friend. Grabbing a few cans of the fake pasta y/n is living off of, Harry sets them in the cart and quickly walks down the aisle. A man who looks a few years older than Harry moves towards him, stepping around Zayn and in front of Harry's cart.
"Excuse me," the man stops him, gaze dropping to the boy against his chest for half a second before regretfully meeting Harry's eyes. "m'so sorry to bother, didn't notice the little one-"
"It's fine." Harry cuts off, glancing at Zayn to make sure his back is still to them. It is and Harry relaxes a bit at that, but his curiosity grows. "How can I help you sir?"
The man smiles, grateful. "I just wanted to tell you that m'son and I are big fans and we're excited for your fight this weekend."
Harry knows he has fans, he's run into a few around the city but they're usually teens and kids that want an autograph. He's never had a grown man approach him about his career and it's odd. Flattering, but odd.
"Thanks man. I really appreciate your support." Harry says sincerely, smiling. The man nods in response, taking a step away from Harry. He moves to leave but stops last minute, turning back to Harry.
"Congrats on the baby news too." He says quickly, almost shy or embarrassed. Before Harry can even thank him, the man is rushing out a "have a good day" and then he's moving down the aisle.
Confused, Harry stands there for a moment trying to figure out what happened. He knew announcing the new baby would bring more attention to him in the media and he's not surprised that that man, who's clearly a fan, had already heard it. He is surprised that the man seemed almost scared to admit to Harry that he knows.
"Harry?"
Fuck.
He looks up, meeting the golden eyes that could only belong to Zayn. Harry doesn't even bother trying to smile at his old friend as he stands in front of Harry's cart. A lady maneuvers around them, murmuring a soft "excuse me sir." Harry scoots his cart over, smiling apologetically.
"How have you been man?"
Harry's gaze returns to it's impassive expression, glancing over Zayn's too-bright presence. "I've been good." Harry responds, moving Arlo to his other arm when he starts to lose feeling in his fingers. The movement draws Arlo out of his nap-like state, the toddler now noticing Zayn standing in front of them. Immediately his face scrunches into a look of annoyance.
If Zayn notices, he must not care because he smiles at Arlo, teeth dazzling. "That's good to hear. Congratulations on the baby, by the way! Saw the article up front. S'amazing!"
Article? Harry lips are just starting to form his question when his phone rings, the tune specific to y/n. "Sorry, gotta take this." Harry says in Zayn's direction, digging into his pocket and retrieving his phone. He hits answer before Zayn can even respond.
"Hi darling."
Harry wiggles Arlo into the basket. "Hi H. You still at the store?"
He pushes the cart down the aisle, not caring that he's left his old friend hanging. "Yeah I am. What's up"
The sound of a running faucet comes through the speaker. "Forgot to add yogurt bites to the list. Arlo ate the last of 'em last night and ya know how he is if he doesn't have any before bed."
Harry snorts, steering towards the baby food aisle. Arlo has fallen in love with yogurt bites and they've become his snack before bed. Harry thinks he shouldn't be having them every night and he'd tried to tell Arlo that two nights ago, but Arlo is a stubborn thing. He screamed his head off, ignored Harry's attempts at giving him fresh fruit instead, and then only calmed down after y/n nursed him.
"I'll grab 'em darling. No worries." He assures, tossing a couple bags of the bites into the cart. "Anything else?"
"Do we still have the old flower vases from our wedding in the garage?" She asks.
"Umm, I think so. You expecting flowers from a secret lover or something?" Harry jokes, eyes catching on a pack of bibs hanging in the aisle.
"Not unless you've got a trick up your sleeve Styles." She retorts.
He tosses a pack into the basket. "Buy you a whole flower shop if that's what ya want darling." Arlo grumbles from the baby seat of the cart, tiny fingers coming up to play with the rings on Harry's fingers that are locked around the steering bar.
"Don't worry about that, we've got enough flowers." Y/n laughs and he can hear her moving around the house. "Three bouquets just arrived with congratulations cards."
"What?"
"Guess the baby announcement was well accepted." She says. "We're getting lots of flowers for it."
Pushing towards the checkout, Harry frowns in confusion. "Got stopped by a fan today for the same thing. Can't believe it's such a big deal."
"Well you're more known now than when we were having Arlo." She reasons, and Harry hums his agreement. He passes the self checkouts, freezing when he spots numerous copies of his face on the ends of the aisle.
"Holy shit," he breathes, not even thinking about the innocent ears before him. Y/n gasps through the phone, scolding him for his language. "Sorry darling, s'just I'm bloody plastered all over the grocery store."
He reads over the cover of the sports magazine. It's got a big photo of him in the ring, gloves held up to his chin and jaw tight around his mouth guard. Next to it is a photo of him and y/n leaving a big fight awhile back. She's got her head down, hand snug in his as he leads her along. And written in bold yellows is "Harry Styles Expecting Baby #2 As He Prepares for Biggest Fight Yet!"
"They put me on the front page." He tells her, not bothering to flip open the article before he's quickly moving away from the display. "Why would they do that?"
When he did that interview, he thought it'd be a small, breezy section in the magazine. If he had known he'd be getting stopped in the grocery store and flowers sent to his house he wouldn't have said anything. As previously mentioned, he's a private guy, so having this detail projected in a way he wasn't warned about makes his stomach twist uncomfortably.
"It's alright Harry," y/n says reassuringly, knowing that he's become anxious at the publicity. "No harm done. It's just flowers bub and as long as we've got those vases in the garage, everyone will survive."
He chuckle weakly at her joke, picking an aisle so he can quickly checkout and go home. "Don't go digging around for them by yourself, don't need ya falling and getting hurt. I'll help ya when I get home."
"Aw my hero." She coos, and he knows she's teasing but it still makes him blush. God he loves her.
~
"Those bloody things are making my nose itch." Harry grumbles, aggressively rubbing the palm of his hand into his burning nostrils. He glares at the bouquet of peonies on the dresser, a gift from y/n's co-workers, and moves towards the bed.
Y/n is propped up against the headboard, a pair of his pajama bottoms on her legs but her shirt has been abandoned on the carpet by the bed. Arlo is attached to her hip, mouth latched to her nipple and she's stroking through his soft hair while he breastfeeds. Harry's heart throbs in his chest, warmed by the sight of his wife coddling their baby, and he's so fucking in love with her he's anxious to get Arlo into bed so he can have his way with her.
"I can't just throw them out, H." She sighs, pulling her gaze from the television to his pouty face. He huffs, running the damp towel in his hand through his hair one last time before haphazardly tossing it towards the closet. Kneeing his way up the bed, he curls into y/n's side and smiles when she tucks her arm around him.
"Stroke my hair too?" He mumbles, peering up with puppy eyes and she giggles before threading her fingers through his hair too. Arlo gurgles around a mouthful, bright green eyes opening to look at Harry. He worries for a moment that Arlo is going to get fussy and kick him away, but the toddler just blinks at him sleepily.
"Tha's ma boy." He coos fondly, squirming a hand over to pat Arlo's full tummy. Y/n giggles and continues to stroke his hair, Harry watching Arlo slowly be soothed to sleep. "Lemme get him to bed darling."
Grunting, he pushes himself up from the mattress and too his feet. Y/n transfers Arlo to his awaiting arms, swiping at the milk that dribbled out of his snoring lips and onto her skin. Harry leans down, pressing a kiss to the corner of her mouth.
"Wanna have a shag when I get back?"
A shocked laugh bursts out of her, Harry's face lighting up at the sound as his heart swells. He was trying to be a bit silly, not enough to have her eyes crinkling like that, but he's happy she finds him funny.
"Sure baby." She breathes, still grinning. His stomach flutters, excitement bubbling in his belly and he nods quickly before moving across the room.
Arlo stays cuddled into Harry's neck as he flicks on the nightlight in the nursery and adjusts the blankets in the crib. Theo watched Harry from his bed in the corner, sleepy puppy eyes following his every move. He lays Arlo down, gently shushing him when he store and tucks Bunny into his side. With a peck to his head and a quiet "good night bug," Harry partially shuts the bedroom door and rushes back into the bedroom.
Y/n has already kicked off her bottoms, leaving her naked on their sheets and Harry groans as he works to catch up with her. His shirt is playfully tossed at y/n's grinning face, Harry laughing as he wiggles out of his sweats. Naked as the day he was born, Harry jumps onto his knees at the bottom of the bed.
A laugh bubbles out of y/n when the whole bed shakes under his weight, clearly amused at how excited he is. She must be just as excited though because she quickly leans forward to cup his face, attaching their lips and bringing him back down to the pillows with her.
"Wanna be on top," he mutters into her mouth, ghosting his hand down her tummy and tickling his thumb over her clit. "f'that's ok?"
"Mmm," she hums, happily "too tired to top anyway."
Harry seals their lips together again, using his knees to spread her thighs a bit further apart for him. Her palms smooth down his sides and around to his back, a breathy moan interrupting their kiss courtesy of his fingers. Harry utilizes the chance to break away and snag a pillow from his side of the bed, urging her hips up by tapping the fluffy thing against her side. She lifts, and he settles it under her lower back and bum to prop her up. Luckily for him, he's had a lot of practice getting around a baby bump for a shag.
Settling between her thighs, Harry giggles when she wraps her legs around his hips and tugs him closer. His body hovers over hers, love-sick smiles a breath away from meeting each other, and he drags his fingers through her folds, groaning at how slick she's become.
"Don't even have to try anymore do I?" He teases with a wolfish smile, capturing her lips just as she rolls her eyes. Giggling, he leaves soft kisses across her cheek, heading towards the base of her jaw.
"S'the baby's fault honestly." She argues, her fingers disappearing into the damp locks sticking to the back of his neck.
He hums, smirking against her skin. "Is it?"
With a small tug she's pulling him back up to her mouth. "Yeah. Gets me revved up all the bloody time. I don't know what you're putting in there mister but it's exhausting."
Harry laughs quietly, nipping at her bottom lip. "Don't worry baby, I'm gonna take care of ya. S'my problem after all, isn't it?"
Y/n nods, biting back a grin as Harry grips his cock with the fingers that had previously been fondling her. Chest to chest, Harry smiles at the feeling of their stomachs pressed together as he guides the head of him into her slit.
The sigh that puffs out of her chest sends a zip of pleasure up his spine, as if she'd been partial without him and the pure relief of just having him in her is all she could ever want. Harry hums appreciatively, eyes fluttering shut as he basks in how warm and gooey she is for him. He'd almost forgotten how it felt to have her this desperate for him and his touch.
"Oh it's so good darling," he mumbles to her, dropping his head into the crook of her neck. He pulls his hips back, breath stuttering when he easily slips forward again.
Y/n moans softly, dropping one hand to the small of his back as if guiding him. "So so good H." She confirms in a whisper, her voice tickling his ear and he squirms with a small laugh at the sensation.
Harry's soft with his movements, cautious of the baby between them and the one sleeping down the hall. Even the kisses he places on her jaw and lips are tender, small brushes between their confirmations that he "feels so good" inside her and she was "made for being wrapped me huh?" And Harry thinks nothing ever been truer. Her arms were made to hold him, her hands were made for pulling him closer and closer, and her heart was made to completely consume his.
Y/n reaches her high before him, rolling her hips up to try and quicken his but he maintains his sensual thrusts, stroking her temple as she trembles and gasps, clinging to him in every way possible. There's something about how quick she falls apart for him when she's pregnant and how utterly earth shattering it is for her, that it completely obliterates any sense of stamina Harry's ever had. He couldn't care less when he follows shortly after, grinding down into her heat as his cock twitches and buries deep in her walls. She's the one stroking his temple this time, and he knows she's watching his eyes scrunch shut and his gaping mouth curl into a breathy laugh as he comes.
Maybe it's the lingering anxiety that washed over him at the grocery store, but when y/n kisses him and gently nudges him off of her so she can go pee, Harry's desperate as he grips her hand and pouts, practically begging when he asks "can I get back in ya after? Just to fall asleep darling?"
Of course she nods, brushing sweaty curls from his forehead to soothe him and just like that he already feels lighter. He never has to sorry with her, because they were made for loving each other.
~
"Oh fuck!"
"Would you stop being so loud! It's 8 in the morning!"
"Can't help it, darling."
Harry tightens his hold around y/n's thighs, dipping his tongue back into her slit and groaning loudly despite the warning she's already given him this morning. She tugs on his hair scoldingly, drawing a pained hiss out of him. Harry brings his teeth up to her clit, nibbling in retaliation. A pained hiss of her own leaves her lips, cut off by a soft moan as he soothes his tongue over the spot.
Grinding her hips up into his mouth, Harry can't help but push his own into the mattress and a deep groan escapes him as he does so. Huffing, y/n scolds him again for being too loud when they've got a sleeping child one room over.
"Stop yelling at me so I can make you cum." He purrs, lips brushing over her clit. Their eyes meet over the curves and dips of her body, Harry smirking when she raises a prodding eyebrow at him. He kisses her thigh just once, lapping his tongue through her slit and he's just reaching her most sensitive spot when the beginning stirs of Arlo waking up break through the baby monitor.
Simultaneous groans leave both their mouths, this time of frustration. Harry pouts, knocking his forehead on y/n's hip bone and shaking his head.
"I told you Styles." Y/n teases, stroking through his hair for a second. He can't even think of a rebuttal before Arlo is calling out softly for her, and she's pushing up from the bed to get dressed.
"Take care of that while I take care of this." She calls as she disappears through the door, snickering softly and leaving him there desperate for her. But then again, when is he not desperate for her?
~
Hey man, hope I'm not being a bother. I was just wondering if you wanted to go out for a drink Friday or something?
-Z
Harry stares at the message, wondering why Zayn would sign it when the Instagram handle is clearly him. He also wonders why the hell Zayn is trying to hang out with him now.
It's a sunny day, the air outside relatively warm for March so Harry slipped a sweater on Arlo and brought him out to the backyard to play. They're sat in the grass, Arlo between his legs as they teach Theo to play fetch. Arlo's gotten good at tossing the chew toy himself, so Harry used the free time to start clearing out the congratulations messages he's received on Instagram.
"What's the matter H?"
Harry locks his phone, tilting his head up and squinting into the sun as y/n stands over them. She's got a bowl of puffy hot Cheetos in her hand, cradling them as if they were a precious gem as she settles into the grass with them.
"Nothing," he mumbles, pecking her temple when she leans into his side. "just got a weird text from Zayn. He wants to hang out."
Crunching through a chip, she hums. "Did you know he lives here?"
She lifts up a Cheeto, offering it to him. Harry gladly takes it between his teeth, pulling it from her fingertips and crunching down on the puffy chip. Swallowing, he shakes his head.
"Ran into him at the store once around Valentine's Day," she says, eyes watching Arlo dig his stubby fingers into the dry grass. "Was trying to talk to me about you I think but your son threw a fit and I was too busy to care honestly."
"Really?" Harry asks, perking up at the idea of Arlo throwing a tantrum to keep people away from y/n. That's the only time he'll agree with such actions. "Taught him well then haven't I?"
Rolling her eyes, she elbows him. "If you're son grows up to be rude I'm going to kick your ass Harry Styles."
Laughing, he steals a chip from her, locking his phone and dropping it to the grass. Arlo, interested in the device, crawls over to pick it up.
"Wouldn't expect anything less darling." He says, reaching over to swipe his phone to the camera so Arlo can snap random pictures.
"What are you going to do about Zayn then?"
"Suppose I should see what he wants, yeah?"
Y/n shrugs but Harry can read the look on her face easily. She's always silently encouraged him to face things that need mending or fixing, and his past with Zayn is one of those things.
"S'done then," he laughs, pinching her side affectionately. "I'll figure out why he's so obsessed with me."
She laughs, throwing her head back and scrunching her nose in the way makes him want to stare at her forever. "Think it's that one he's obsessed with. Look how cute he is."
Harry follows her line of sight, smile growing at the sight of Arlo making faces at himself in Harry's camera.
So bloody cute.
~
"Are we gonna be besties? I think we're gonna be besties." Niall states, swinging an arm around y/n's shoulders. He's on his third beer of the night already and Harry hasn't even made it to the ring yet. Y/n just laughs, continuing to maneuver tape around Harry's fingers but he's not as kind.
Casting a glare at the Irish man, Harry calls out to Gemma. "Get your leprechaun off of my girl before I use him to warm up."
Niall isn't really phased by the words, only pouting softly at Harry's steel gaze but Gemma is quick to rush over and pull Niall up from the couch by his hand.
"Come on babe, let's go find our seats." She coos to him, sending Harry an apologetic smile. He waits for her and Niall to turn their backs before chuckling softly. Y/n pinches at his wrist.
"Be nice to Niall. I really like him."
"Oh you really like him, huh?" Harry huffs, nudging his knee against hers. She rolls her eyes, giggling when he slips his free hand around her waist and pulls her into his lap. "Please tell me how much you really like Niall darling." He requests, shoving his face in her neck and playfully biting at her throat and shoulder. Just as he'd expected, she giggles and squirms, Harry having to wrap her up in a bear hug to keep her from sliding right off his thigh.
"Harry! Stop!"
He laughs with her, moving up to bite at the apples of her cheeks and her nose, growling as if he were a rabid beast. His freshly taped knuckles ache under the tightness of the wrap as he grips her flailing legs but he ignores it in favor of listening to her laugh.
"I like you more! I swear!" She shouts between laughs, wiggling a hand free and gripping the back of his neck. Pleased with her words, Harry pants out a laugh before sealing his mouth to hers.
"Tha's good because I like you more than Niall too." He mumbles into her lips.
"You like me more than you like everyone." She chuckles, stroking her thumb along his jawline. Harry's eyes shine with delight, proud that she knows her place in his heart, but he still teases.
"Mmm almost darling. Quite like my son, ya know that?"
She rolls her eyes but looks at him fondly, pinching the meat of his cheek. "Cute," she murmurs, "now go get ready for your fight baby. Want everyone to see my husband's gonna be the national champion."
Her words bring a rush of blood to his cheeks (and his cock if he's being honest), but he nudges her onto the couch next to him. "Just need two more wins." He whispers in her ear, pecking her temple.
Just two more wins.
~
There's good fights and there's bad fights. Everyone knows that. But not everyone knows that there's good wins and bad wins. Harry's experienced a few of those bad ones. Wins that he probably shouldn't have gotten because he certain his opponent had landed more punches and the judges miscounted. Or it was clear the other fighter wasn't into it and let him win.
Harry thinks tonight is his worst win ever.
The fight had been good. Trinsky, tonight's opponent from New Jersey, was short and stocky but strong. Harry was quicker than him though so they'd gone back and forth for a few rounds. Nothing two rough, just enough punches to have bright red welts on his torso and an ache in his jaw.
He fought through it though, fueled by the sounds of y/n and Niall cheering for him. Win this fight and he's onto the championship match. So he went at it with all he had left, charging Trinsky just as the man knocked his fist into Harry's temple.
It felt like a lightning bolt of pain zapped through his brain, shaking his core and causing his feet to stumble. Trinsky slid to the right as Harry crashed into the ropes, blinking furiously as the room around him spun. He was still in a daze as his body moved on its own, quick enough to uppercut his left fist into Trinsky's chin. The man crumbled to the mat, out cold, and Harry's dizzy head brought him down as well.
There's cheering and an announcement of his name, declaring Harry the winner but he can't seem to focus on it. Trinsky is being moved from the ring by his team, Harry falling to his bum on the mat as he rips at the velcro of his gloves with his teeth.
The room is coming back into focus, someone is calling him from the side of the ring but he doesn't recognize the voice so it goes ignored. He gets his hands free, rubbing his fingers into the tender spot on his head and wincing. He needs to take some Advil and ice it.
Harry climbs to his feet, a bit disoriented as he ducks under the ropes to leave. He knows he's got a team here somewhere but his mind can't seem to recognize what they look like or how to find them.
"Man, what are you doing?"
He turns, confused to find two men watching him like he's grown a second head. Harry feels like he knows the warm brown eyes of the taller man but he's not sure from where. Smiling uncomfortably, he motions behind him.
"I n-need ice or something." He says, excusing himself with a shrug and turning back to the locker room. He doesn't like the way his stomach twists or how his chest is telling him he knows those men when he couldn't even tell you there names right now. His heart thunders in his chest, panic seeping in and he's desperate to find something or someone that'll just help him out.
"Harry baby," she says calmly, a hand rubbing up his bare back comfortingly. "you okay?"
Y/n appears at his side, head tilted so she can meet his nervous gaze. Almost immediately he latches onto her hand, shaking his head. Her eyebrows crease, lips frowning as she reaches to cup his cheek.
"What's going on H? What's the matter?"
"M'head hurts," he answers immediately. "I-I think I forgot my team."
A trembling breath leaves his lips, tears stinging behind his eyes when he sees the concern on his wife's face. She brushes her thumb over his temple, the one she knows got hit the hardest, and then brushes a sweaty strand of hair off his forehead to place a tender kiss there.
"Let's get you to the locker room babe."
He follows like a lost puppy, trailing behind her through the back hallway and into his locker room. Y/n closes the door behind him before anyone else can enter, twisting the lock. Harry sits in the closest chair, fiddling with the tape on his fingers as he tries to calm down.
"Do you want to talk to me bub?" Y/n asks quietly, pulling up a seat directly in front of him. He nods, lifting his gaze from his hands to her face.
"I don't know what happened. It's like I got hit in the head and everything got shook up." He explains, frowning. He hates the way this feels. Hates that his body is screaming at him to just remember but his brain refuses to accept the message. "I know them, I know I do but s'like their names and stuff are just gone."
Y/n inhales sharply, biting nervously at her bottom lip. Harry's not even sure what to say and that makes him feel so much worse. He doesn't even feel like he has a concussion, not really. Everything else is still there, still in the forefront of his mind. His wife, his boys, Anne and Gemma. And he faintly remembers sitting at bars with one of the men from his team, remembers crashing on his couch late at night. But the soul of those memories are gone.
"I'm gonna get you some painkillers and water okay babe? Then we'll figure out what to do."
He nods, smiling wetly when she kisses his forehead. Watching her move around the room to gather water and whatnot, Harry wills himself to just think. He knows these men, he's just gotta focus on it. A memory stands out, one of the three of them in a car on a road trip. His trainer is driving, his manager in the passenger seat and he knows this is a trip for a match. A recent match too because he remembers saying goodbye to Arlo and y/n, kissing her swollen belly before he went.
Y/n returns to him with a bottle of water and a couple pills, watching him cautiously as he squeezes his eyes shut and forces himself to just think. Recalling conversations from the car, remembering the screen in the front of the vehicle that reads Connected to Liam's iPhone. Liam. Almost instantly Nick's name floods his brain again and he feels his whole body tremble with relief.
Harry takes the medicine, gulping it down and slumping into his seat. "Nick and Liam," he finally murmurs, voice thick. "I couldn't remember darling. They were right in front of me and I couldn't remember their fucking names."
A silent tear trails down his cheek, Harry sniffling as y/n wipes it away with a tender touch he's only felt from her. "Its ok Harry. We'll figure out what happened. At least you remember now baby." She tried to comfort, but Harry's heart still aches.
"What if-" he peers up at her through wet eyelashes. "what if it had been you? Or Arlo? Or all three of you? What if I-"
He can't even finish the thought before he's shaking his head, more tears slipping down his cheeks and jaw. What would he have done if he'd looked at y/n and not remembered her name? Not remembered the beautiful son they created? Or the one she's growing now?
"It wasn't Harry," she stays sternly, cutting into his spiralling thoughts. "it wasn't and even if it did happen, it wouldn't change a thing. You're not getting rid of us."
Trying to smile, he nods and takes a deep breath. He trusts her, more than anyone, and he's never known someone that fights as much as she does. He knows, no matter what, that she'll always have his back.

Ok that’s it ✨random varian headcanons time✨
Been meaning to do this for a while so here is my little self-indulgent list of hcs! Some of these are inspired by fanworks and others is just shit I made up at 3am
Hope the new tumblr glitch doesn’t fuck this up lmaooooooooo
- his goggles were a gift given to him from his mother right before she disappeared forever.
- has a lot of chemical burns/scars caused by bad lab safety
- has the worst sleeping schedule ever. Has fallen asleep in his lab more than once. This becomes even worse after the uhh… incident… due to nightmares
- I’d actually argue that this ones canon actually: he DOES believe in magic, he just doesn’t practice it (like… he never says magic is fake, he just says he doesn’t work with it)
- every year quirin and varian visit the dark kingdom and stay there for a couple of months. Varian uses his alchemy and engineering skills to help with the kingdoms revival
- while visiting, his aunt and uncle tell him embarrassing stories about his dad when he was younger. Quirin is not amused, but varian is thrilled to learn more about his fathers past
- definitely bonds with hector over a mutual love for animals. Hector loves his humane animal trapping idea and asks varian to implement it in the dark kingdom.
- adira teaches him how to sword fight. She also enjoys picking apart the inaccuracies in the Flynn rider books (which annoys varian immensely)
- tugs at his hair and chews his lip when stressed/anxious (this is 100% not projection haha what are you talking about-)
- lance and the girls come around to his house every few months to ask him if he wants to join them in a camping trip. He always says yes… eventually. He brings along books and equipment to study wildlife, but he almost never gets a chance to use it with Keira and catalina always dragging him into stuff
- (ok but fr I think lance and him would be very good friends. Like. An actual friendship outside of “teenager has to babysit grown man because he keeps touching dangerous things.” Canon did these 2 dirty)
- would say poggers unironically
- enjoys inconveniencing Frederic at every opportunity. Covering his throne in alchemy goop. Embarrassing him in front of nobles. You name it.
- after prison, he develops a phobia of being trapped. When entering small spaces he immediately checks off any escape routes unconsciously.
- RAPUNZEL AND HIM DO PIANO LESSONS TOGETHER. I personally think that both knew how to play before meeting each other, they just enjoy it and learn new things from each other
- visits the saporians in prison every once in a while (yes, I know their relationship with him wasn’t exactly healthy but keep in mind they were his only support system for a long period of time. I find it hard to believe he would just immediately forget abt them post-redemption) I think he would also be willing to give them a second chance and help them redeem themselves.
- as well as his fear of blood, he also is very squeamish about any sort of medical situation (eg needles). This one definitely isn’t self projection either…
- Starts a Flynn rider fan club with eugene and Edmund. It’s a book club that mostly involves them re-enacting their favourite scenes poorly
- Has had a crush on both eugene and cass. Bi king. (If any of y’all tag this as ship cuz of this I’m blocking ur ass)
- wears gloves at all times cuz he’s got sensory issues
- idc what canon says, Varian would be deeply uncomfortable creating a weapon that uses amber.
- I know that this was proven false by the creators, but the idea of varians last name being ruddiger is so fucking funny to me that I still hc that it is regardless. Like he he just found this raccoon and went “oh I have the perfect name for you” and it’s just his fuckign last name
- his hairstreak isn’t due to a moonstone connection (srry moon varian fans) but from an experiment gone wrong. Ulla was teaching a young varian a basic science experiment. She left for about 15 seconds to go and get something and when the came back he had blue hair. She managed to get all of it out with the exception of a single strand
- Actually surprisingly strong for someone his size (from helping out his dad in the fields).
- becomes good friends with Faith! She tells him all abt different types of flowers and he is happy to listen! He helps w her cleaning duties with his alchemy. They also enjoy talking shit about the king together <3
- has written self-insert x Flynn Rider fanfic
- he’s the kinda person who has a ton of random sketches in his notebook. In between his work notes you’ll find drawings of his close friends, raccoons and the occasional invention idea that he’ll probably never finish.
- speaking of which, he’s very good at drawing from memory (can’t relate)

can i get some GOOD headcanons on kageyama, kuroo, oikawa, and terushima drunkingly confessing time there best friend? similar to how tsukki did it in the number neighbors au 🥰🥰🥰
drunk confessions w/ kageyama, kuroo, oikawa, and terushima
Tumblr media
— k. tobio
OK HEAR ME OUT
kags is the type to be hella emotional when he’s drunk, like full on sobbing or just being moody for no reason
it’s definitely not that bad at first, i would think he could handle his alcohol pretty well but once he get a couple shots in THAT’S when moody kags come in
with you being the designated sober for the group, you had to not drink ofc
out of everyone else in the group he’s one of the more difficult ones
near the end of the might where you had to take everyone home, you literally had to force a sobbing kageyama into the uber
“wHY THE FUCK DO YOU HAVE TO BE SO DAMN CUTE FOR?”
homie would be choking in between sobs as you literally apologize to the driver
ngl it’s kinda hilarious
drunk kags = simp kags
“y/n ur so pwetty 🥺👉🏻👈🏻”
like DEADASS HES AN ENTIRELY NEW PERSON
but if he isn’t showering you with compliments, he would be crying into your shoulder about how stressed he has been bc of volleyball
“coach said my sets are getting weird 😔😔”
and then you would sit there awkwardly laughing as you tried your best comforting him
you would run your hands through his hair and he’s literally about to self combust from the contact
by the time your uber arrives to his apartment, trying to pull him out of the car is harder than pushing him into it
his six foot one ass really be making it harder than it should be
once you do finally get him out of the car, he’s completely slumped over you and you try your best to lead him back to his place
his muscular arms strategically placed around and over your shoulders as his feet basically drag on the ground
“y/n~ where are we going?”
“back to your apartment, tobio.”
this is the part where he groans and immediately starts resisting
the thing is it doesnt last long considering he’s completely fucking drained, if anything the moment you past by the threshold into his apartment he was already halfway unconscious
your muscles strained guiding him to his bedroom to which your literally just plop him onto his bed
you sigh to yourself as you felt immediate relief on your body
after a beat or two passed to regain some strength and energy, you tug on kag’s body again to make him properly lay on the bed rather than being at the cusp of falling off
“you’re so fucking heavy, tobio.” you pull his bedsheets over him, “also don’t get out of bed or else i’ll kick you.”
honestly he looked so cute as he was in the process of passing out
“y/n?” he called out before you could leave his side
“hm?”
it was then his right hand would find yours and pull it close to him, mumbling: “you treat me so well, y/n... no wonder why i’ve been in love with you since high school.”
perhaps you ended up not leaving his side that night
— k. tetsurou
homie won’t leave you alone while you guys are out drinking
HES VERY PROTECTIVE
he literally refuses to leave your side as both of you were drinking
i would say kuroo has a pretty strong alcohol tolerance but ngl yours is stronger fr
this obviously led to kuroo getting completely shitfaced at a much quicker pace than you and when he’s drunk, it’s obvious
like REALLY obvious
he’s most definitely a giggly drunk
he probably laughs at every little thing with that obnoxious hyena laugh you love to hear so much
if there was ever a moment you two did split up, you would immediately know where he was the moment his loud ass laughs literally thundered throughout the entire bar
“excuse me, have you seen my friend? he’s tall, has black hair that look’s like a chicken’s—”
*CUE LOUDASS HYENA LAUGH FROM ACROSS THE BAR*
“oop- nevermind”
you were literally on your way to fetch him as it was getting super late and the both of you needed to go home when you saw him stumbling farther away from you
“kuroo! where the hell are you going?” you would shout over the loud conversating crowds and music
he ultimately didn’t hear you as he continued walking towards the bar
you grumbled as your eyes stay locked on his large figure to which he starts climbing a bar stool
“oh my fucking god—kuroo!!”
this dude literally CLIMBS ONTO THE BAR
“LADIES AND GENTLEMEN!!” he yells over the large crowd, everyone’s attention is on him and you were immediately struck with second-hand embarrassment
“MAY I HAVE YOU ATTENTION PLEASE! I JUST WANTED TO SAY THAT I AM LITERALY HEAD OVER HEELS FOR MY FRIEND Y/N!!”
when i tell you were wanted to drop dead then and there
your eyes widened in shock, your mouth parted, and you stood there completely paralyzed as kuroo points you out in the crowd
everyone surounding you turn towards your figure and your cheeks immediately flushed a bright red and your heart suddenly beating a thousand beats per minute
“IVE LIKED YOU FOR AGES.” kuroo continues, “AND I JUST WANTED TO KNOW IF YOU FELT THE SAME”
silence filled the club like a wet blanket as you nervously chuckle
this was so awkward like it’s not even funny
“well?” a random guy from across the bar shouted
you purse your lips, “if i say yes, would you get off the bar and take me out on a real date?”
the biggest smile melted upon kuroo’s lips as he laughs
he jumps off the bar and practically cuts through the crowd just to pull you into the tightest hug you’ve ever received
“god, you’re so drunk.”
“it was my only way of getting myself to finally say it.”
— o. tooru
if you think this boy has attitude when he’s sober just wait until he’s drunk
like literally he’s so mfing sassy and for what reason ??
i dont even think this boy drinks that much let alone has a high tolerance of alcohol
oikawa’s a lightweight (i said what i said 😤)
literally if he downs anything more than three shots, he’s a literal goner
not to mention HES ABSOLUTELY WILD
drunk oikawa — the wild, sassy one
i’d say he’s pretty loud, but def not as loud or confident enough like kuroo to stand on a mfing bar and confess his love
nah, if anything, oikawa’s more rowdy when it’s a party at someone else’s house
he knows to keep himself in check if he’s drinking in public (like he knows from experience and almost got arrested one time for public indecency but it izz what it izz)
so he practically learned to control himself, but if it’s a house party ??
GIRL, YOU GOT A WHOLE STORM COMIN
knowing that it’s at a friend’s house, especially if it’s your house, he’s letting himself get completely loose
he knows you’ll take care of him anyway
throughout the night he’s literally messing around with friends, maybe a game of beer pong would usually get him drunk
put once the party’s over, he would usually be the last one to leave as he was left on your couch passed out
you didn’t even notice he was there until he started snoring
you couldn’t help but laugh at his adorable unconscious state, it was almost as if you wanted to leave him be, but you knew he had to get back home
so you stroll towards his slumped figure on the couch and kneeled on the ground
his cheek was pressed up again one of the cushions and he was dribbling a bit of saliva but you ultimately chose to ignore it
“oikawa,” you muttered as you rubbed his shoulder and shook it
he wouldn’t really respond for the first few times, but after repeating his name after a while, he would start to stir
he would groan and could barely open his eyes
half-lidded, a smile forms on his lips at the mere sight of you
“hey there gorgeous.” he slurrs through his teeth as he continued to stir
“c’mon, get up you gotta get up and go home. i called an uber for you.”
you tried helping him get up, but he just plops down again
“why can’t i stay wit you?”
“cause you don’t live here.”
“i would if we were together.”
your brows furrow in confusion, “what do you mean?”
“i always wanted to live with someone i really liked... and that’s you.” his words were almost incoherent how slurred they were through his drunkened state
“you like me?” you asked just to reassure what he mumbled was truly what you heard
he nods as you brush his tangled jungle of hair out of his face
there was a deep onset of crimson blush that appeared on your cheeks as he did so, your heart beat quickening it’s speed as you sighed in contrnt
“you act like i didn’t know this whole time. you’re quite obvious about your feelings, oikawa.”
— t. yuuji
you and terushima were club regulars
each weekend you were out with him club and bar hopping just for the fun of it
but lately, the more often you do things the more desensitized and bored you get of the same activities over and over again
you and terushima sat in both of your car ready to drive to downtown where all the clubs were when you both lazily sighed
“i’m not really in the mood for loud music and socializing.” you would confess, ready to perhaps hear terushima’s jests of you being a party pooper
but instead he sighs and agrees to your surprise as he’s typically the one dragging you to these places anyway
“same,” he mutters. “i think i’d just hangout with you tonight.”
there was a slight tone in his voice as he peaked at you that you couldnt exactly pinpoint as if you were waiting for the catch
“i still wanna drink though.” he added, there it was
“good call”
from then on you stopped by a convinient store where you and terushima buy the cheapest six pack of canned beer
in the end alcohol was alcohol and you both didnt care about the quality
this was the only case in which you had a lower tolerance than terushima as he could literally handle the strongest of liquors and still act sober
it’s kinda scary as sometimes you can never tell whether or not he’s actually drunk
but as he is a sober drunk, the only way you can tell that he’s absolutely blasted is that he becomes brutally honest with you
that brutal honesty sometimes comes with a childish offhanded joke that you would roll your eyes to
not to mention he sometimes becomes a bit of a perv too
“your ass looks better in the dress you wore last weekend” was one example
and because you both wanted some quiet for once on a late saturday night, you drove all the way to the park where it was quiet enough for you two to relax
terushima had held your hand to help you walk up the steep hill to the top of the park in which oversees a great view of tokyo
with it’s pretty city lights shining upon you two, you and terushima settle yourselves on a bench and crack open your beers
you and him cheers as you two silently sipped at the alcohol
by the time both of you were in your third can of beer, it was obvious terushima was completely wasted
“not gonna lie,” oh here it comes, “your driving sucks.”
you couldn’t help but laugh at his honesty
a laugh that he likes so much, it sounded like heaven to his ears and he wanted to make you laugh again and again
“i mean, you’re the one whose making me drive you everywhere all the time.”
he scoffs, humming in response as his half-lidded eyes flickered towards you, admiring how the moonlight reflected upon your face as you breathed in the sky
“you’re so beautiful,” he practically whispers.
“hmm?” you turn towars him with you eyes coated in honey
god he was in deep
“i like you.”
it honestly shocked you at first as your eyes widened into saucers
it was straight and brutally honest confession
just how you like it

Jasmine - ✨ and Storkclaw - 🍁☁️ and Flakestorm - ☘️
Jasmine
✨Initial thoughts / opinions
Nobody outside of Creekclan can see it cuz. Y’know. But anyway, when I first started writing Jasmine I really wasn’t sure what I was doing with them? I had a concept of what I wanted out of them, but I wasn’t entirely sure how to write it because it was so far outside of what I usually write. A lot of my characters are usually very outwardly emotional and talkative, and Jasmine was my attempt to try and break that sort of pitfall, but in turn I struggled with it a lot SHFOSUDO
I didn’t really get a hold on them until the roleplay I did with them & Ember, where it finally clicked and I was like OH. Yes. This is them. I’m happy with how they are now, and they’re one of my favorites to write :3c I hope everybody sees more of them soon!!(!!!!!)
Storkclaw
🍁 Favorite rp / moment
I really enjoyed when he first reunited with Pebbletoes! Their interactions are fun even if I get distracted from writing really quick (sob). Everytime I write him with her I feel like I get to show more of who Storkclaw really is, just because he kind of has a front up whenever anybody else is around. She kinda takes some of the weight off of his shoulders to have to try and be the positive one in every situation, even if he feels guilt for leaving and that isn’t gonna go away anytime soon. Pebbletoes I love you :3c
☁️ Alternate clan au
Is Briarclan Storkclaw an au?? I guess it would be, because it would be the result of like… different events taking place. I thought about trying to do a Canyon!Stork au, but his family is rooted in Briarclan firmly and he hated Canyonclan up until recently for the death of his mother & all of the grief they caused not only her but also his clanmates so he wouldn’t have joined them instead. Anyway.
If Storkclaw had stayed in Briarclan, I think he would be a lot less vocal than he is today. When he left for a bit, he had the opportunity to really reflect on what he had and how important clan life was to him. If he never left, I think he’d have been crushed again and again by what was happening no matter how hard he tried to stay positive about it, especially with his mother’s passing. It’d be a different character arc for sure!
Flakestorm
☘️ Relationship dynamics with the most potential
Ok, first, I think it’s very funny that Flakestorm keeps seeing mean nb cats and saying oh? Oh? You are my best friend? My best friend in the world? :) He’s done it like three times now. It’s very funny to me because he’s Like That.
I’d really like to work some more with Flakestorm and Wildspirit; Flakestorm really looks up to Wildspirit (well, to be fair, there are very few cats he doesn’t look up to. Your cat could stomp on a kitten and Flakestorm would look up to them for their strength or something there’s something wrong with him fr). Wildspirit taking Flakestorm under his wing a bit has helped Flake a lot with coming out of his shell, and being willing to joke around and talk with his clanmates a little bit less like they’re a pack of feral dogs and more like they’re other cats that only might bite him a little bit.
I’d also really love for Flakestorm to make some more cross-border friends, especially in Canyonclan! He’s still a little bit intimidated by them, and I want him to have the opportunity to realize that they’re all cats just the same. To be fair, he’s also obsessed with the whole flower thing Briarclan has going on and I would love for him to get to talk about that also at some point. You guys better give Flakestorm some weaving sessions I s2g.

I DON’T KNOW IF WE CAN BE FRIENDS | PT. 2
Tumblr media
member: hwang hyunjin
genre: college!au
words: 7.6k
summary: rebuilding a broken relationship is not as easy as it seems, but hyunjin doesn't seem willing to give up. there is still one last chance: 36 questions.
a/n: finally, here is the second part, as some of you asked for! I love this story, so it was great to write a happy ending for it (oops, spoiler?). sorry for the delay & hope you like it! <3 
link to part 1
as hyunjin always did
whenever he showed up, he messed with your thoughts, feelings and life as a whole
when he transferred to your university, you knew what would happen
but you were trying to avoid things
as if you could… silly you
he was everywhere
when you finished your classes, he was finishing his and you always saw each other outside of your buildings
when you were walking back to your dorm, you could see him
when you were looking for a place to sit, your eyes would meet
when you met minho and his friends, he was also there
you thought he was following you, trying to make you talk to him again after what you said of not being sure if both of you could be friends again
but it wasn’t it
of course he wanted to see you by the way his eyes always looked for you
but he was at the same places you were because
1. his building was right next to yours, so at the start or the end of the day, before or after classes, it was impossible not to bump into each other
2. you were the one who showed him around and introduced him to places, since minho asked that day when hyunjin arrived
minho was supposed to do that job, but he was very very busy, so he asked you to help hyunjin
and you couldn’t say no
not to hyunjin, but to minho
after helping him during the first two days, you didn’t talk to him again
and everything was okay like that
you got to see minho a lot after the exams, so you had a lot of fun together
you two always enjoyed these moments because it was uncertain when they would happen again
as a senior, minho usually was busy and had many extra activities to attend to
you didn’t get angry at all
not only because it’s impossible to be angry at his cute face
but because it was his future, he wanted to do the best he could during the undergraduate years
three weeks after the day hyunjin transferred for good, he suddenly disappeared from your sight
you used to see him every day and then you didn’t see him anymore
nowhere
ok, you weren’t worried at all
he had given you his new number but of course you’d not call or text him 
until your phone buzzed in your pocket
you were in front of your building, standing, when you read the text
hyunjin: “given the choice of anyone in the world, whom would you want as a dinner guest?”
what?
what was that? out of everything he could send you, why that question?
was that a trick or a joke of the freshmen?
you: “what do you mean?”
hyunjin: “it’s important. answer, please”
you rolled your eyes
you: “I don’t know. maybe ed sheeran.”
ok, was that the answer he was supposed to get?
you just said the first person that came to your mind
and to be honest, ed sheeran’s songs were so good, you’d definitely have topics to talk about during a dinner
“ed sheeran?”, you heard a voice getting closer to you
you turned your face in the voice’s direction so fast your neck almost cracked
it was hyunjin, his phone in his right hand
you crossed your arms
“am I a joke to you?”
he smiled, “I just didn’t expect this answer, but ed sheeran is definitely a good choice”
“and what did you expect?”
he shrugged
“I would choose someone that could teach me something during the dinner”, he said, “like a nobel prize winner”
“so you’re telling me ed sheeran has nothing to teach me?”, you started to walk, leaving him behind
but he followed you
“that’s not what I said, I respect your answer”
“thanks”, you turned to him, “I wasn’t even going to answer. why did you ask me this out of nowhere?”
you were trying to understand what was that
if it was a game or something like that
“ok”, he sighed, “this is part of my psychology club”
you frowned, “do you have interest in psychology?”
he never mentioned that before and his major was not psychology
well, people are full of surprises, right?
“I got in this club, so they gave us this”, he showed you a paper with a bunch of questions, “if we want to go through the experience, we can write an essay and get good extra points in any course we choose”
you narrowed your eyes
“so… am I supposed to help?”
he smiled
ok, that was cute
“if you can”
“what is this for? 36 questions to fall in love?”
“so you know this”
“I see what you’re doing there”, you started walking again and he ran to stop you, standing in front of you
“wait, wait, will you do this for me?”
“fall in love, hwang hyunjin?”
“come on, no, this is not about falling in love. and we may already know each other’s answers for these questions”, he looked at you, “I would like you to help me with this”
you looked at him standing there
at that moment he was the hyunjin you first met years ago
no need to put your guards up because he was being completely honest
and did that really work? you saw some videos about those questions on youtube but no one knows what happens next
maybe they just make two people know each other better so they create some kind of connection
but falling in love?
was that a risk?
you fell for him before, would the questions make it happen again?
“fine. text me when you need an answer”
“sometimes we need to answer this face to face”, he said
“you know where to find me”
you started walking again, on your way to meet your friends and eat
you didn’t know but hyunjin was still standing there, smiling to himself
as if he won something
during the night, you couldn’t stop thinking about those questions
you googled every single one of those thirty-six questions
and you immediately knew you wouldn’t want to answer some of them
or maybe you could think of the best answers to not let much of your feelings come out
sigh
no, you couldn’t
you had a lot of things to work on
you didn’t have time to think about the questions for the whole night
besides that, hyunjin would probably give up before you two finished the thirty sixth question
just stop overthinking and sleep already
next morning, you woke up feeling good
you know when you just feel unbothered
you slept well, so you were feeling like that
you took a shower, got ready, ate something and went to your first class of the day
while you were walking to the building, you felt it
you felt someone running behind you
and there he was
by your side, catching his breath
“morning”, he stopped, hands on the knees, out of breath
“morning. why are you running?”
“I have a class now”
you looked at him, “come on, I know you want to make the second question”
he raised his eyebrow, unconcerned
“not exactly, we still have time”
you shrugged, “okay then”
“you know the second question, don’t you?”
“I don’t remember”
he giggled, “I know you, y/n. that’s why I’m sure you searched for all the questions”
“sorry, you’re wrong, hyunjin”, you lied
did you forget for how long you two were best friends? he knew you very well
“alright. but here goes the second question: would you like to be famous? in what way?”
“‘in what way’, as if the author knew we’re going to say yes”
“I’ll reformulate it: ‘if so, in what way?’”
you appreciated his effort
“you answer first”, you said
you two were still walking, but slowly now
“I would like to. if it was for doing something I love, like playing with the band, I’d like to. it’s not a goal, you know. but if it happened… I’d be fine with it”, he said
you liked how carefree he was sometimes
of course he had his moments
you saw him crying before, not just once, because he was worried about a lot of things
or just because he was touched about something
but when it comes to the future, he has some kind of assurance
he would make it work either way
whatever he had to do, he’d learn, find a way, create
hyunjin was sensitive and you liked that
but he was also confident
and you liked that too
“I wish I was like this”
“how?”, he asked
you held a smile and shook your head
“nevermind. I don’t think I’d like to be famous. seems like it’s too much to handle”
he nodded
“but wouldn’t you be able to handle?”
“I don’t think so. or maybe I don’t want to”, you two laughed
“don’t underestimate yourself, y/n”, he walked fasted and turned to face you, “I gotta go now”
he waved
“yeah, me too”, you were already close to your building
the class was about to start
“see you?”
“see you”, you said
the first two classes were great
but during the third one you were so exhausted already
too much to catch on, too much information at once
your hand was already tired of writing everything the professor was talking
when your phone lighted up
you quickly put your hand on it to cover the light
and slowly took it off to see the notification
“hyunjin: name three things we have in common”
you two hadn’t agreed on sending texts during the classes
and you didn’t want that to become a habit
but come on
just that time
that was an interesting question
“you: this isn’t the third question”
“hyunjin: so you googled the questions, huh? lol”
he always knew when you were lying
you forgot that
you decided to ignore and answer the main question
“you: one, we study in the same place.”
a good one, indeed
making obvious statements was the best, so he couldn’t make the same ones
“you: two, we lived in the same city for almost our whole lives.”
obvious again
“you: three, we know each other very well”
you wanted the last to be a little more… intimate
because he knew you, he probably knew how you were playing that game
keeping it simple
not going too deep
“hyunjin: good ones. we really do know each other very well”
yes
that was his way of saying he knew what you were doing
“hyunjin: 1. we like sunsets 2. we like ice cream the most (mint chocolate or rainbow sherbet for me, as you know) 3. we have friends in common”
“we have friends in common” as if you two weren’t the friends the other people had in common
yes, you both liked sunsets
a lot, by the way
your favourite memories with hyunjin were definitely in the end of the day
when the sun was setting
and you two were having ice cream while enjoying each other’s presence
you smiled by remembering that
but when you came back to reality, the professor’s voice was a little louder
you got startled
before putting your phone back in your bag
you answered
“you: it’s been so long since I ate ice cream. anyways, you definitely did it better than me”
“hyunjin: of course I did, you didn’t even try too hard lol let’s have ice cream then”
he had nothing to lose, after all
“you: it proves my third point. anyways, we can have ice cream.”
you knew he was smiling wherever he was
and you were too
you had a quick break for lunch and met your friends to eat together
“you’re definitely in a good mood today”, one of them told you
“woke up like this”, you said, drinking your orange juice
“guess what?”, the other friend checked her phone, “I have a date!”
“what?”, you covered your mouth with your hands
“is it that boy? the one from the concert?”, your friend asked
“yeah! we were just talking but finally he asked me out”, she answered
she met this guy during the last festival
the exact one you saw hyunjin again after a long time
she started giving details about when, where and what she was going to wear for the date
in your group of friends, when one of you had something important coming up, everyone would expect a lot too
during the whole lunch time, the date was the biggest subject of your conversation
“wait, is that guy looking for you?”, your friend questioned, looking at somewhere you couldn’t see because of how the way you were sitting
“what? which guy?”
you thought about minho
“that friend of yours… I forgot his name. oh, he’s coming”
you didn’t turn to look, just waited
and there he was, standing by your side
“hi, sorry for interrupting”, he said with the smile that made everyone smile too
the reason why almost no one could feel angry at him
“it’s okay”, your friends told him
“y/n, I need your help”
“what for?”
“do you have free time today? after lunch?”
“I still have one class to attend to”, you said, wanting to know what he needed before accepting anything
“and after that?”
you looked at your friends
you wanted them to save you
but you couldn’t lie because he would know
and they weren’t going to help you with any lies because they always found hyunjin a nice guy
“I’m free”, you finally gave up
“great, can we meet, then?”
your friends were looking at you
you looked up at him
“is it for that project you’re working on for the club?”
you didn’t have to, but you felt like it would be important to give an explanation about what he was talking about
“yep”, he said
“I’ll find you in front of my building at 2pm”
he just winked, greeted the girls again and walked away
“he’s that long-time friend of yours, isn’t he?”, your friend asked
“yeah, he transferred. I told you girls”
“I remember”, she said, “he’s cute, don’t you think?”
they always teased you about every single boy ever just because you didn’t seem very interested in your romantic life
“nah, he’s just fine”
“come on, she’s into minho”, your other friend pointed out
“if we at least had time to meet again”, you said
they sighed as you stood up to go to class
“seniors are too busy, I wonder if we’re gonna be like this”
“we’re not gonna be like that, he just likes to study too much”, she said and you all laughed
ok but being real
you were excited about what you and hyunjin were going to do
he didn’t give any explanation but it was related to the project
so it was okay
that was why you were excited, right?
anyways, when you finished everything you had to do
when your class ended
you were in front of your building when he approached with ice cream in both of his hands
he was so unbothered eating his ice cream you almost smiled
he handed you the one in his right hand
“is it still your favourite?”, he asked
“yes”, you accepted
that ice cream tasted so good
hyunjin was probably thinking the same because he wasn’t even talking, just eating
he stopped by this table under a tree
“so, when are we starting?”
he finished eating, “now”
“is it going well? in your psychology club”
“very well! they’re great. everyone is sharing stories about the experiment”
“are we doing it right, based on other people’s stories?”
he shrugged, “yeah, it’s actually a very particular experience for every pair”
you nodded
“ok, let’s continue…”, he found the list, “next question: for what in life do you feel the most grateful?”
you were still eating your ice cream, so he looked away and started to talk
“I feel the most grateful for the opportunities I had in life and for the ones I’ll still have”, he said
it somehow sounded deep
hyunjin was always playful and fun
but sometimes he was very thoughtful
“do you think all the opportunities and chances you had brought you here today?”
“yes. I guess it somehow shapes us. for instance, I had the opportunity to transfer here. if I didn’t have, I’d still be there where I was, which wasn’t bad, but wasn’t what I wanted anymore”
“and the ones you have today will take you somewhere else”
“yep. I am grateful for each one of them. even this one, to be honest”, he said, now looking at you
“which one?”, you looked right into his eyes
“the opportunity of making up for the time I missed”
you didn’t know what to say
honestly, looking into his eyes wasn’t the most comfortable thing after everything that happened, but now
at that moment
it was comfortable
and maybe that’s why you couldn’t look at anywhere else
“I am the most grateful for all that I have and for all that I don’t know yet, which are what make me dream”
you two were staring at each other so immersed in that moment
that anyone walking by would wonder what you were talking about
you smiled quickly and looked away
“I admire that”, hyunjin said
you somehow felt awkward and started to change the subject
“what’s next?”
hyunjin read: “if you could change anything about the way you were raised, what would it be?”
you thought for a whole minute before replying
“I would like to have been taught about loving myself earlier”
“it isn’t easy, though”
“it never is”, you agreed, “and I don’t really know if it would help anyways, because you only learn it by yourself. it’s an insightful process”
“but when someone loves you a lot, you can also learn that you are loveable and love yourself”
“I agree with you”
you remembered hyunjin’s words to you
how he loved everything about you
at that time, you felt so loved by him, you were loving yourself a lot too
not that you can only love yourself when someone loves you
but the way he loved you opened your eyes to how you were still worthy of love, even with your flaws
“for me, I wish I was more independent since always”
“you look very independent, though”
“I have improved a lot but it wasn’t always this easy”
with every question, it was obvious how you two were feeling more comfortable in each other’s presence
hyunjin was aware of that and he was smiling more
joking more
like he always did
but now you were laughing with him too
joking too
that was the difference
the next step was “take four minutes and tell your partner your life story in as much detail as possible”
hyunjin started
he talked about his childhood, about growing up, about his family, his little dog, his friends, his first kiss (which wasn’t you), and his first love
he didn’t name his first love
he said she had a beautiful smile that made his heart melt at the first time he saw her
and the best thing about it was that she didn’t even try
when he and she became friends, they were just friends
for real
and they were like this for a long time
until they fell in love
which wasn’t hard
because it happened so naturally
they didn’t even know if they were dating or not
but he loved her a lot and he never wanted to hurt her in any way
of course, life goes on and things happen
so he moved after high school, went to college
met new friends
even met another girl
she was fun and smart
but they didn’t work out
and every time he was sad during that year
he thought about his long-time friend
or ex-friend
wondering what she was doing
his time was over
the timer warned
you knew the whole story
not the college part because that was when both of you were apart
he found someone else there
you didn’t know that, but isn’t it expected?
you met new people too, had a love interest
and now you were face to face
telling what you both missed in each other’s life
it was your time
you spent a long time talking about your childhood so you didn’t have to be very detailed about your high school days
however, it was unfair
he opened his heart and you would hide yours?
so you said it
said that you had a first love too during high school
and that your heart broke when it ended
but it was okay now
your life changed when you started college
it was much busier now
and you met new people too
everything was new and it was the good part of it all
your time was over
it felt like telling your story to a stranger
because hyunjin knew almost everything you told
but still you were telling your story as if he didn’t
it was good, though, it felt like taking a weight off your shoulders
“I’m glad you met new people”, he said, “everyone should have a friend like you”
“thank you…”, your voice was lower
“it’s crazy how, even being apart, we still managed to have friends in common”
“are you talking about minho?”
“not only him, but yes”
“he’s great. he knows a lot of people, actually, so it’s not very surprising for me”, you already wanted to change subjects
you didn’t want to end up talking about how it was supposed to be
you and hyunjin meeting again
because you didn’t want to believe that
he transferred because he wanted to
so it had nothing like “meant to be” in that
right?
then you thought about what he said
opportunities
being with you, at the same university, was an opportunity too
so it had a certain percentage of fate, maybe
not “fate” in the strict sense of the word
but as something that would end up happening somehow, within the countless coincidences of life
next question was: “if a crystal ball could tell you the truth about yourself, your life, the future or anything else, what would you want to know?”
hyunjin said he wanted to know if the 36 questions experience would work
“if falling in love is how it works in the end, I’m not sure if it will work”, you said
“I don’t mean falling in love exactly, maybe just bringing two people closer”
“then I’d like to know it too”
“it’s a crystal ball, you can know anything else”, he said
“I still want to know this”, you said
he giggled
question: “what do you value the most in a friendship?”
you answered “loyalty”
he answered “sincerity”
question: “what is your most treasured memory?”
hyunjin: “when I met my dog for the first time”
you two laughed
it was cute
he really adores his dog
you: “when I went to the beach for the first time and watched the sunset. I was still a kid”
“is that why you like sunsets?”
“I think so”
question: “what roles do love and affection play in your life?”
“it’s important. every significant relationship in life must be filled with love and affection”, you said
hyunjin nodded
“I totally agree. if the relationship doesn’t have love or affection, it’s just too shallow. I guess it loses the meaning”
“just by thinking someone important doesn’t have love or affection for you anymore, the whole thing loses meaning”, you didn’t mean to talk about you and hyunjin
even though it made sense if related to your friendship with him
“I guess that’s why we shall always say what we feel. the other person needs that”, he said
you wanted to agree with that
but it didn’t make sense to agree with something you weren’t doing
because you avoided hyunjin for so long
and he walked away from you too
so why agree when you weren’t being 100% real about your feelings?
you didn’t even know your feelings anymore
“do you think so?”, you asked him
“I do”
“did you always think like this?”
“no. it took a while to learn it”
was he talking about how he left, thinking that saying nothing would make things easier when it clearly didn’t?
you asked the next question: “alternate sharing something you consider a positive characteristic of your partner. share a total of five items.”
“you’re the best partner for this experience”, he said
you laughed, “well, you’re funny, hyunjin. I like that”
was he blushing or was it just because of the ray of sunlight passing through the leaves of the trees?
“you didn’t have to go through this with me, still you accepted and is spending a whole afternoon answering questions. this shows how kind you are”
he caught you by surprise
you actually thought a lot about helping him with this
but somehow you just felt like you should
because you wanted to
and because it was hyunjin, after all
you resisted for too long
“your presence lights up the place”, you just let it out
by the way his eyebrows raised, he was surprised too
“ok, don’t make me blush”, he was already blushing, “you’re very committed to everything you decide to do. I’m not only talking about this experience”
“I gotta agree with that. we started then we’re finishing it. next… you pay attention to details”
“I do, I notice it all”, he shrugged in a funny way, “I think the way you look at me is positive”
you immediately looked away
that was what you loved and hated on hyunjin
he had this effect on you
he knew the right thing to say
if at least he was just a bad boy who didn’t want anything serious with you
but he was the kind-hearted guy you always knew
he cared about you
“why is that positive?”
“because I like it”, he answered immediately
“hm, anyways, you bought me ice cream, it’s positive”
he laughed, “come on, is it valid? I always did that”
“no, you spent a long time not doing that”
“you have a point. ok, last one”, hyunjin was thinking, “you’re a great friend, y/n. this is one of the most positive characteristics I see in you. no wonder everyone loves to have you around”
“what? I don’t think everyone loves to have me around”
“you can’t see it but whoever is around you loves to be there. I think… I think this is what I missed the most. being around you.”
you bowed your head so you wouldn't face him
“what could I do?”, you said, “I didn’t go away”
the silence has settled between you
your voice was low, stable, soft when it broke the silence
“you know what, hyunjin, something positive about you is that you can mess with my head. it’s positive to you, but I still don’t know how positive it is to me. you make me overthink, you make me wonder about the feelings I thought I buried, you make me want to spend a whole afternoon answering questions and eating ice cream. after all this time. that’s what you do. to be honest, I don’t understand. I want to, but I wonder: am I right? what does he want for real? is he leaving again tomorrow? I wish I could believe all the words you say, and I am believing, which is probably why I’m so worried.”
“y/n…”, he was speechless
his hand reached yours on top of the table
“it’s almost sunset time now, I gotta go back to my dorm”, you said
“y/n, don’t leave like this. I don’t want to mess with your head, I just want to have what we had again. I don’t want to change your life, but I’m here now, and I want to use this opportunity to make up for the lost time”
you stood up
“you were so important to me, hyunjin, and that’s why it hurt so bad when you left. you gave me the world and walked away. then when you started your whole new dream life, I understood that it was time for me to move on too, because you didn’t seem to care anymore. I know you already said sorry and I know you really are because – that’s another positive thing about you – you’re sincere. how I wish you were sincere back then too, so I wouldn’t have questioned everything you said to me before”
he held your hand again
gently
you could feel his rings next to your fingers
you didn’t want to turn to him and look at his face because his eyes would melt you down
but you did
and the sadness you saw on his face
he was worried
that broke your heart but you finally said it all
why did you have to love him so much?
why did he have to love you so much back then?
you did move on
you were fine where you were
but it was okay when you were without him
all fine, until he came back
“please tell me everything that you want”, he said
“I already did. there are still some questions left, but we can’t finish later, okay?”
he nodded while you let go of his hand
“thank you for the ice cream”, you tried to smile and started walking
“y/n”
he called your name
and you stopped
“I’m not going anywhere. you know where to find me because I am not going anywhere”
you didn’t look at him when he said that
but you knew he didn’t move a bit until you were far
you didn’t fight with hyunjin
it wasn’t supposed to be an argument or something
you just wanted to tell him what you were feeling for a long time
of course you wanted to be friends with him again
the problem was
being friends with hyunjin again would definitely make you fall in love again
you just knew that
you didn’t have to be lovers or date or anything
but you two would have to ignore the feeling until it was gone because it was just automatic
you would like each other as lovers because it happened before and it never had a real closure
the thing about him was also that he made you uncertain of how it would turn out
how long it would last
but weren’t you thinking too much?
why lose opportunities because of fear?
days went by
you and hyunjin finished the questions through text messages
not even commenting on each other’s answers
just answering
and to be honest that was so awkward
you were clearing doing that just because you had to
or maybe because deep down you two wanted but no one wanted to seem too much interested
you respected the order of the questions sometimes
at other times you selected randomly
so when hyunjin said you two finished the experiment
you believed, but part of you knew one or two questions were missing
“are you sure?”, you asked
he nodded and thanked you, “I’ll buy you ice cream as a payment”
“you know you don’t have to, hyunjin. I’m glad I could help you”
he smiled and walked away, leaving you there
standing in front of your dorm
watching him until he disappeared from your sight
hyunjin became part of your group of friends because he was friends with minho and other people
so when the group went out to eat, to an amusement park or to a concert
he was there too
you could feel his gaze on you
as if he was shy to say something, even though you knew you two were still talking
not too much, but as colleagues did
one day you had a date with minho
he had time those days so he wanted to spend with his friends and with you
of course you said yes
definitely
you and minho weren’t boyfriend and girlfriend
just friends who seemed to like each other more than just friends
you did like him
and you knew he liked you too
but lately, he was so so busy
it was almost impossible to have a moment for just the two of you
minho told you before that he was applying for a special course that would help him a lot when he graduated and applied for a postgraduate degree
you cheered him on
minho was so intelligent, you knew he had total capacity of doing anything he wanted
when he hugged you that day, you felt that he was thankful for everything you told him
and you knew he didn’t want to hurt you, that was why you were the first person he told about the application
if everything worked out, he would be leaving for six months, initially
to complete a semester of his major in another country, developing a research
he could apply again and stay for the whole final year
but he would come back to see you and his friends when he had holidays
you would miss him so much
but just seeing him happy like that
with such a great opportunity
your heart felt full
you were happy for him
when minho said he wanted to meet you again
that night
you knew he probably had news
and yes, he did
he said you were the first to know (after his parents, of course)
because you were the first to encourage him
and you deserved to know
you hugged him so so tight
his arms around your waist and yours around his neck
“I’m so happy for you, minho. I knew you’d be accepted”
“you’re just too kind”, he put his hands in the pockets
“when do you leave?”
“in two weeks… ah, I’m gonna miss it here”
“you should”, you said and he laughed
“I will. I’ll miss our times together, y/n”
“I’ll miss it too. but we’ll keep in touch, right?”
“definitely”
you were in silence for a second
that was when your heart felt
minho was leaving soon
you two never started to date
maybe it was supposed to be that way
but then you started to think
if it was different, how would it be?
you and him could have dated and still be dating
and you’d suffer so much to see him going away
or maybe you could have broken up already
and you’d still suffer
you almost smiled to yourself
minho was too important to you
you didn’t want to think about losing his friendship
even if meant that you two would never develop the romantic feelings that probably were there
but never had the chance to become anything else
“what are you thinking about?”
“you”, you replied right away
“oh”, he smiled, “what exactly?”
“just how we’ll miss you but how you’ll be able to live so many new things. don’t hold back, minho. you gotta promise me you’ll have the best time of your life”
“well, I’ll try, there’s too much to learn there and I’ll probably study even more, but I promise”, he giggled
you and him stopped walking, already in front of your dorm
“we could have been something else, couldn’t we?”, he asked
you knew what he was talking about
“yes, we could. maybe it’s just how it has to be”
he nodded, “I think so, too”
he reached out for your hand
“hey, don’t hold back too. promise me you’ll have the best time of your life”
you played with his fingers while looking at him
“I promise. you know what, you are one of the best things that happened to me here”
“am I?”
“yes”
“not gonna lie, you were one of my best surprises. when you arrived here, I knew you were special, y/n. that’s why I believe there’s so many good things waiting for you”
“come on”, you were shy, hiding your face
“I’m being 100% real. thank you for being the great supporter you are”
“that’s what friends do”
he hugged you
“yes, it is. I know things will be harder when I’m away, you know, communication… but let’s try to be always in touch. I told everyone we must keep the group chat very active”
you giggled inside his arms
“we will, and we’ll send pictures of us hanging out”, you joked
“hey, that’s unfair!”
you talked a little bit more
minho and you hugged again
and when it was late enough, you went to your room
you two were still going to meet for the next two weeks with your friends
to create new memories and spend time together
hyunjin was definitely going to be there
when you thought about him you decided to search for the questions again
just to be sure you two didn’t forget any of them
while you read the questions, you could remember the answers
but there was one specifically
you couldn’t remember the answers
did he forget or he just didn’t want to answer?
hyunjin was everywhere you were
obviously
it was always a group hangout
on minho’s last day, all of you went to the beach to have some fun
and it was fantastic
when he flied to his new university abroad, he sent pictures to you and your friends
the last weeks were great because you were surrounded of great people, great food and great moments
you didn’t send hyunjin a text to ask about the question you guys forgot to answer
and you also didn’t want to talk about it in front of your friends in common
so you just forgot
until an afternoon, weeks later
maybe even one month?
(you lost track of time during the exam’s weeks)
you found him buying ice cream and you approached
“got a moment?”
“yep”
“did we really finish the 36 questions? because I have this feeling that we left one out”
“did we?”
why was he acting so weird?
“I think so. question 33”
“I can’t remember now… but it’s okay, it’s just one”
“you’re kidding, right? you were all about these questions”
“yeah but we finished already, I submitted my essay and I got my points”, he seemed excited
he was walking faster than you
with those long legs, he used to walk faster and you always needed to speed up the pace even more
“did you really forget that one?”
he stopped
looked at you
and then someone screamed “y/n!”
it was your friend
you got stuck between paying attention to what your friend was saying and staying there to receive hyunjin's answer
but your friend was saying something about the grades from the last exam and you had to go there
“you didn’t answer me yet”, you said, running to her
hyunjin was standing there
smiling to himself
he said “you just didn’t find out yet” to himself
of course you wouldn’t hear
you were planning to watch the sunset that day
after all the stress of having so much to do
you were finally free
so you looked for your bag, the one you always took with you when you go out
phone, earphone and a book can fit perfectly there
since the last time you used it, you didn’t take the book out, just your phone
but this time, when you took it out
you found a paper tucked between the pages of the book
you didn’t put it there, did you?
it had the 33rd question written on it
“if you were to die this evening with no opportunity to communicate with anyone, what would you most regret not having told someone? why haven’t you told them yet?”
you knew the handwriting very well
the answer was right below
I don’t know when you’re going to see this, but I left this question out because I didn’t know how to answer looking at you. maybe I’m too fearful sometimes. but it’s just because – you must know that – I’m a big fool for you. what I’m writing here is everything I would regret not saying to you and I haven’t told you yet because I can’t do it face to face. or because, if you reject it, you can just throw this paper in the trash and I’ll never know. however, I just can’t lose this opportunity. I had no idea how much I hurt you until that afternoon, when you said it. I knew you had a hard time, but after losing contact we weren’t able to talk openly about this until that day. if I haven’t told you before, I missed you every single day. I am sorry, and you know that. I don’t regret our relationship, and you know that. I can’t forget our moments together, and maybe you know that. I love you. I said it already and I’ll say it again, in case you thought it was a lie. we already recovered a lot of what we lost while being apart, but my heart keeps asking for more. it asks for your hugs, for your goofy laughs, for our deep conversations, for our sunsets together, for all the promises we made to each other… for your kisses. I respect your decisions and the way you want us to be because I know our abrupt breakup messed up everything. but if I still mess with your head – in the best possible way – please come to me when you read this. as I told you, I’m not going anywhere, so you know where to find me. I guess I answered the question.
you were speechless
your brain malfunction for a minute
and when you thought about it, you were still running
going downstairs
opening the front door
the sun was so bright your eyes hurt
it was the golden hour
the campus was quite empty because everyone had free time for other things
where are you running to?, you asked yourself
you didn’t know exactly
you didn’t know where he was
from afar, you could see someone's shadow against the sun, enjoying the sky beside that tree where you and hyunjin talked for hours
it was him
you knew it
you knew that cap
you knew those clothes
those bracelets
you knew all of him
running out of breath, you stopped
he noticed your presence and turned to you
you barely could see his face because he was against the sun
“y/n?”, he said your name
somehow it sounded sweeter than ever
“I found it”, you said, “your answer to the question”
he smiled
after the initial tension, he looked calm
“it took so long…”
“when did you put it there?”
“when we all went to the amusement park to celebrate with minho”
oh, that day
why didn’t you pay attention to your bag before?
“I’m so stupid… I just found it”
“it’s okay. you’d find someday. how did you know I was here?”
“I didn’t, I was looking for you”
he looked down and then lifted his head a bit to look at you
“so…”
did he want your answer?
“I would definitely regret not telling you that I want to try again, hyunjin. I haven’t said it yet because I was scared, because I still had questions on my mind. but now I think we shouldn’t waste time anymore. do you… still want to be friends with me again?”
you knew his eyes were beautiful when he smiled but under the golden hour it was even more beautiful
was it possible to be just friends?
you’d have time to find out
but when he hugged you like he did
like he always did
it felt so familiar and so new at the same time
“of course I do”, his lips covered by your hair during the hug
when you pulled away from the hug, your eyes met
you were very close
close enough
you two looked to the sky, the sunset time taking over
you both needed more, your words were hidden in the silence
he would probably wait for you, because he already said what he missed
so you already knew
“I wonder”, you just let the words come out, “can friends like us kiss?”
hyunjin looked at you
you two were being kissed by the sun
and it felt like that was the perfect time to kiss each other too
“I think we can become more than friends for a moment and come back to just friends, if you want to”
you laughed and he did, too
“because I missed this as much as you”, you said
slowly coming closer
his arms wrapped around you
your hands touching his nape
he tightened his grip
your lips were so close you could feel his breath
you felt his eyes analysing your whole face before staring at your lips
and then you finally kissed
after so long, you thought you would have forgotten its taste, but you didn’t
his kiss was the same, but better
because there was so much between you two
so much love
you wanted him, he wanted you
you both waited so long for this moment and it was finally there
sealed by that kiss
you wrapped your arms around his neck to be closer while his arms also held your back and his hands touched your spine
you didn’t want to let go but the good thing was that he didn’t want too
when you two stopped for a second, you couldn’t help but smile
he kissed your whole face
hugged you again
“I love you, please don’t forget that”, you said inside his hug
he gave you a peck on your lips
his face said it all, he was happy to hear that
“I won’t. but feel free to remind me whenever you want”

Hi hun! I love your work so much! I was wondering if you could do ATEEZ reacting to finding out you still sleep with your baby blanket? I still sleep with mine and I’m 19 and I’m throughly embarrassed about it 😅 thank you so much!!!
Okay thats endearing af so don't be embarrassed!!! Also this is kinda short bc I was getting really soft and I could've written forever but I couldn't let myself go there lmao
Hongjoong: 
Tumblr media
(ok this gif doesn't really match but it’s so funny wtf)
The second he finds out you still have your blanket he’s like... I’d die for you
Like he loves that you have that innocent, meaningful part of your life still with you
Joong loves that it shows your soft side, that only he gets to see
It really shows him that you are a sentimental person and he’s like “I hope she keeps me forever like that blanket uwu”
Loves and I mean LOVES when he finds you sleeping with it
Whether he caught you in the middle of a nap, or maybe you went to bed earlier than he did
He sees that and it’s cuddle time
Doesn’t like to disturb your sleep though so he’ll just very gently wrap himself around you and brush your hair out of your face
Just a lot of soft touches until he falls asleep too
Seonghwa:
Tumblr media
Mama Hwa activated
you’ve got a baby blanket, and youre already his baby? Perfect for his need to parent
Like he’ll still be boyfriend goals but he’s also gonna treat you like a toddler sometimes
Not in a bad way, I mean like he’s gonna tuck you in and sing you to sleep and all that stuff an actual mom would do
He just cant help himself, I mean really you need to go easy on him
He’s too soft around you
Like he might die if you get any cuter, cut it out!!!
And he always makes sure you have the blanket the way you like it before you sleep
Like if you just wanna hold it? Cool he’s got you. If you wanna wrap up in it...Also cool!
Will take care of all your blankie needs without question
Just wants to give you the world :’)
Yunho:
Tumblr media
the second he finds out about your blanket he’s gonna wanna get a matching one
“Wtf why” 
“so I can have a piece of you when im on tour” and your hearts just goes POOF
and so he finds one super similar (not necessarily identical but its one that works)
becomes just as attached to his new blanket at you are to yours
takes it everywhere
but its so cute like you guys will be cuddled on the couch each with your respective blanket omg
and the guys find you all the time like passed out with your blankies and holding hands and stuff
they’ll take pictures of you two to tease you about it but you guys secretly save every single photo
it’s just perfect lock screen material really
Yeosang:
Tumblr media
Teases you at first, I can’t even lie about that
but it’s not mean or anything it’s more like “you love that blanket more than me” kind of thing
but eventually he just sees it as a part of you
and if you’re ever not holding it, it’s so jarring to him
like “where's the blanket this is so weird you look naked we gotta go get it”
it always puts a smile on his face though
like if you ever have to go somewhere that you cant or don't want to bring it to, then he’ll stay home and secretly bury his face in it
it becomes a comfort thing for him too bc it smells so much like you
if you ever catch him smelling it he’ll be like “I WAS JUST SEEING IF MAYBE WE NEED TO WASH IT”
he’s embarrassed but you’re endeared to no end
you’ve totally got at least one picture of him with it somewhere bc I mean... your two fav things on earth in one pic?
magical
San:
Tumblr media
I WAS SO EXCITED TO WRITE THIS ONE AH
Okay San relates heavy bs you’ve got your blankie and he’s got Shiber
Will send you pics of Shiber wrapped up in your blankie like bro :’(
And you guys will stuff both Shiber and your blanket in between you and hug at the same time
Because lets face it, nothings gonna get in the way of cuddles alright I don't make the rules
And one night he’ll be like “let’s trade for today”
but then five minutes in both of you are like “nope nope we gotta switch back I cant do this”
but you both think it’s really funny low-key and end up laughing at each other’s inability to sleep without your favorite thing
he’s so sweet to you about it though like if you’re ever sad, he knows exactly what to bring to make you feel better
uses the blanket constantly and whenever you’re at home he always has it for you
like you sit down in another room for two seconds and he’s like
“You left this in the bedroom” and throws it at you
and he’ll get Shiber too bc “they’re friends”
overall he’s just so cute about it and genuinely understands the need to have something like that around
Mingi:
Tumblr media
(^ him practicing his keynote speech on why you should cuddle with him instead)
Okay Mingi’s a big baby about it 
like he gets it but he’s low-key (read: highkey) jealous of the blanket right
“Cuddle me insteadddd”
won't let you live like fr
never tries to take it from you or anything though
just wants you to prioritize cuddles with him is all
will literally take advantage of any moment that you don't have it right
like if you're on the couch watching a movie he’s basically in your lap
if that’s your emotional support blanket then you’re his emotional support human okay
“why do you need an emotional support blanket when I can be your emotional support Kpop boy?”
“Mingi, I don't think that’s how it works” (I mean can he really still be your emotional support Kpop boy if he's already your bf? how’s that work?)
he eventually figures out a way to get his cuddles though
he just compromises and sleeps under the blanket with you
“Why didn’t I think of this before it’s perfect?” 
“Maybe bc you're an idiot” 
cue play fighting that leads to smoochies under the blanket
Wooyoung:
Tumblr media
Ok this one is problematic for you
because he likes to borrow it
“Wooyoung-ah, that’s MINE”
he has the “mom says it’s my turn” attitude lmao
like no. it’s not your turn if it’s not YOURS...I digress
he gets so annoying about it that you cave and buy him his own blanket
it’s not even close to the same kind as yours, but you got one in his fav color and everything so he’s really excited about it
covers your face in kisses to show his gratitude
but he immediately washes it with the special detergent you use so that it’ll still smell like yours
and he turns into Linus from Charlie Brown you know?
never washes his blanket and takes it literally everywhere
if you wash it for him he won't talk to you for like a whole day lmao
“But it had to be done. Wooyoungie, it was for the greater good”
“Shut up”
but he’s secretly really happy that the detergent smell is back bc it reminds him of you awwww
so basically he picked up your habit really fast and it just sticks
Jongho:
Tumblr media
tell me why Jongho is protective of your blanket
jk, I know why
it’s bc he knows you’d be devastated if anything ever happened to it
he’s always chaperoning you like “Jagiya, don’t eat that rn you’ll get crumbs on your blanket”
or “be careful not to spill that on your blanket, bb”
like “Jongho...sweetheart...I GOT IT”
and if anything ever happened to it, like it gets stained or ripped or something
he’s already googling how to fix it
acts like a surgeon “ok, we need to be very gentle with this stain” “cut the thread very precisely”
so dramatic, but it’s cute because you know he’s only like that to make sure you’re happy and have everything you need
like three months after he finds out that you have the blanket he’s basically a certified tailor and stain-remover
perfect house-wife when it comes to your blankie lmao

l&r shua and specially studio choom l&r shua... i still have no idea how i survived that, also it gave us blue hair cheol too <3 ... him sleeveless with blue hair, there are so many happy things just from this cb jdjsksskks i adore it.
wonshua fr were something else during l&r... omg after school, I'm guessing you've been into kpop way before me. anytime any clip from 17tv pops up i'm just ' they're so smol here they're so cute ' but also most of the time i have no context as well it's djjdsjskks. idk why but svt club is still something i find myself watching again i really liked its concept and them talking and sharing their thoughts it's very simple but also heart-warming.
is it creepy if i say i kind of did sghjkk i actually got to know you are interested in got7 recently when i ended up clicking the links in your bio. i swear im not a weird stalker jdjeekke i've been following your got7 blog way before than this one djdjdjjddj i only found this svt one recently after i decided to completely move back to tumblr and started following svt accs. I didn't know both blogs were you for a long time jddjdkd i apologize if it does seem lil creepy JDJDKSKSLS
jinyoung and mark are my biases, my ults actually <3 and yess i'm keeping up w/ their solo projects even more than before 😭 it's so jdjdkdkd. 2017 was the year i started listening to kpop and around that time or lil later i came across ' you are ' this song is so dear to me i loved it in first listen, its lyrics i love its lyrics sm i made everyone i know listen to it dhjddk yet i didn't dive in deeper bc i was caught up with other group at that time but slowly I started watching their content from 2018. it's like got7's been w/ me since the start & at the same time not </3 but look, lullaby and more importantly spinning top came and everything changed with that album it's so goood from then i started keeping up with their music and check their cbs. i knew jype was meh even when i didn't stan them but i didn't know to what extent, i only got to know after 2019. so far it's all so good and i hope it stays like that. all of their different companies treat and promote them nicely 🥺.
with svt it was instant love i got to know abt them during march 2019 ig, their songs grew on me so fast and boom by the time may came i was a carat, with got7 it was gradual love, it increased lil by lil it's nice but i do wish i could've stanned them earlier. the only cb experience as an official birdie i have is nbtm and last piece 😭 anyway both of these groups are very dear to me not just musically but emotionally too. i love them very much 😔.
also omg those are some of the great artists!! i honestly have no idea how khh and krnb are i mostly listen to kpop and kbands more. i actually listen to a lot of artists but regularly only zayn, svt, got7, the rose (ik we're talking abt kpop but i can't leave zayn out of this djdjdkdk he's the first ever artist i have stanned <3)
also onewe, n.flying, a.c.e, gaho ( i love his voice <3) woodz, day6. yk when you want new music but also something which you'd instantly enjoy otherwise you don't want new music sghjk, when i feel like this i just go to any of their discography. also special mention to hoppipolla and lucy bc they always bring something new to the table i love them for it. i love these artists but honestly i listen to them when i am in mood. i listen to gotsvt and zayn the most at the end of the day. goodnight <3 i love talking to you too 🥺🥺🥺 also feel free to answer late when you're free. hoping i made sense in this one and answered everything bc i am too sleepy rn fjdjkd - 🪂
BLUE HAIRED COUPSIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WITH THE RIPPED ARMS!!!!!!!!!!!1
iconique if u ask me <3 i heard lnr was indeed a good era for everyone!! wasn't it also cheol's first cb after his break? y'all must've had Fun fun
yes i have 😭 i grew up w koreans so... i guess that's also an influence. i got into kpop on my own volition during 4th grade though, so that's prob 2009/10??? GOD I FEEL SO ANCIENT RN!!!! honestly i still dk what 17tv was about i feel like we were just watching streams of some boys w no context as well 😭 AND YES OMG I GET THAT!! svt club is super chill and it's a great way of learning more abt the members!
JKDFJKKJDFFDKJ HELP!!!!!!!!!!! WAIT OH MY GOD YOU WERE IN MY G7 BLOG 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 IM SO EMBARRASSED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 as i've mentioned last time, got7 got me back into kpop and consequently tumblr 😭😭😭 i 'left' tumblr too and was just checking in occasionally, so when i made that g7 sideblog i was WAY behind the times and my first edits were so fucking- 😭 everything about me then was also so performative idk why i felt the pressure to be in on the club 😭 why were you not annoyed with me then 😭 i'd block me if i saw me on the dash KJFKJFDKJDF thank god i got over it though (or should i be.. i'm a menace on the dash now <3 KJDKKJDFKJF) AND NOOO OMG it's not creepy at all. i put those links in for people to see them after all!! and i'm actually kind of honored you followed me even w/o knowing its me <3 i feel like i've passed the vibe check JJFDKJKJFD do you also follow my main 👀 i rmb someone greeting me here on my bday who said the exact same thing you did 😭
U LIKE OLD MAN JINYOUNG 😭😭😭 ok that makes sense w ur svt bias line tbh <3 i like jinyoung a lot too he's such a smug pain in the ass <3 ALSO MORK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i l*ve mark oh my god i- i know i keep saying this... but ur taste <3 AND YOU ARE 😭😭 THE ERAS YOU DISCOVER/GET INTO GROUPS ARE SOOOO GOOD </3 you are was so meaningful to them, and i'm still so incredibly proud of them for this regardless of commercial success. also what group were u into that time omg 👀 I ALSO GOT INTO THEM DURING SPINNING TOP ERA KJFDKJFDKJFJKFDJKFD WHY ARE WE SO SIMILAR!! u seem to like jaebeom's songs a lot <3 AND MS LULLABY!!! oh my god that's my favorite era <3 and yeah, so true bestie, i couldn't be happier for them they're doing FAR better than they have ever had compared to when they were in that shitty company. i'm still so amazed how they pulled all of this off though. jaebeom's must've went thru loads of papework he was prob so determined to show that old man what they are capable of FDJKDFJKD
NAURRR OMG IT'S SO CUTE HOW U PUT IT THAT WAY!! and i'm sure you'll get to experience more cbs with the 7 <3 they were already hinting at it yesterday on twt JKFDJKJKFD
OHHH THAT'S COOL!!! i haven't had a chance to listen much to kbands now, and if u ask me abt them the first ones that come to mind are ft island and cnblue bc im a kpop hag 😭 OH WAIT MAYBE DAY6 for the new ones?? my friends have also been recommending n.flying, the rose, and onewe to me. which bands do you listen to? and zayn??????? <3 ur so right abt that DFKJKJDFFDKJFD also omg go listen to khh they changed my life <3 i can give u a playlist if u'd like!! <3
OH WAIT THERE GOES THE BANDS FKDGKJKJF i usually reply paragraph by paragraph without reading the whole ask so JDFKJDFJK WAIT WOODZ????????????????????????? HELLO???????????????????? I LOVE THAT MAN!!!!!!!!!!!!! HE'S SO SEXIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and he's so cute too if that helps </3 ALSO MOOD I CANT BRING MYSELF TO LISTEN TO NEW MUSIC NOWADAYS EVEN IF I WANT TO BC OF THE SAME EXACT REASON 😭 the way we get each other is so- and i've never heard of hoppipolla omg i'll go listen to them now!! indeed <3 gotsvt is our home <3
and nooo u are so cute omg </3 and don't feel pressured to respond immediately to me as well!! i'm a v late replier but i'll always reply JKJKFDJKFD AND DW everything u said made perfect sense <3 i hope u get/got a good night's rest!! and that you'll have an awesome day ahead <3

Babe: 
Tumblr media
Bonky: Nah, you love it
Babe: Fine
Babe: You still haven’t sent a pic of you though. I might be able to rise Nat and Wanda from the dead if you do
Bonky: What do I get in return?
Babe: The promise that I will keep replying even though you might turn out to be an ugly orc?
Bonky: Not enough
Babe: Fine. I’ll keep talking to you until you want me to stop. Or until I get bored of you
Bonky: Eh, you can do better
Babe: What do you WANT?
Bonky: A pic of you in return
Babe: I’m not sending you nudes, perv
Bonky: If I wanted to see you naked and be a dick about it, I could’ve asked last night, don’t worry
Bonky: But if you’ll know how I look it’s only fair I should know how you look
Babe: That sounds reasonable
Bonky: I’d say it’s a fair exchange
Babe: Fine, you first then
Bonky: If you don’t send me a pic of you afterwards babe I will stop replying, just so you know
Bonky:
Tumblr media
Babe: Did you type super hot guy with the most beautiful eyes in the world in Google or something?
Bonky: I’m touched but no. Sam took that photo at a work event
Babe: Bitch do you really expect me to believe this is you? That looks like a guy who just stepped out of a magazine, I highly doubt I would have the luck to text him instead of my ex when drunk
Bonky:
Tumblr media
Bonky: Are you always this annoying?
Babe: …
Bonky: What? Do you want me to take a selfie with the fucking newspaper now? I read the news online babe, I’m not getting off of this couch just so I can buy a stupid newspaper to prove it’s me
Babe: Do you have one in a suit?
Bonky: …why am I putting up with this?
Bonky: Hold on
Bonky:
Tumblr media
Bonky: It’s been 5 minutes, are you going to reply?
Bonky: You still have to send me a picture of you though, a deal is a deal you know
Bonky: Fine, I warned you
Babe: Shit sorry
Babe: Hi Bucky, this is Natasha
Bonky: Hi Natasha. Is Y/N alright?
Babe: Uhm how should I put this?
Babe: Y/N is crying right now and she can’t reply herself
Bonky: What? What happened? Is she okay?
Babe: Oh yeah
Babe: She’s just crying because (and I’m quoting here) you’re “so beautiful, it’s like all my wet dreams and fantasies have come together. I swear this is some cosmic joke, this is not happening”
Babe: I’m not sure if she’s laughing or crying now
Babe: But she keeps yelling at me that I have to send you the most perfect picture of herself that has ever existed or you will stop talking to her
Babe: I think she started crying again because “I will never live up to that level of perfection, he told me that I have to know which fights to pick”
Babe: Uh yeah so here
Babe: 1 Photo Attached
Bonky: Hey Nat, could you tell Y/N that I would like to talk to her now?
Babe: Sure
Babe: Hey
Bonky: Baby?
Babe: Yeah?
Bonky: You picked the wrong fight if you think “you will never live up to this level of perfection”
Babe: Oh God
Bonky: Stop being an idiot
Bonky: And listen to me
Bonky: I would really like to keep talking to you. Mainly because you’re an idiot who makes me laugh, but it’s also the fact that you are the most gorgeous woman I have ever seen in my entire life
Babe:

I NEVER FINISHED MY STORY OMG. ok so i left off at being too proud to tell my friend she was right and kpop fucked hard. the difference between u and me is that i’m too good of a liar. too good. i kept up the “i hate kpop it’s cringe” facade for ALMOST TWO WHOLE YEARS, I SHIT YOU NOT. why? bc my dumb ass, extra ass, dramatic ass self thought “ok if i’m gonna have to deal with the embarrassment of admitting i’m wrong, i better do it in such an extra ass way it’ll knock ur socks off so hard that YOULL be the one embarrassed not me.” the original plan was to learn the entire choreography to bts dope, bc it’s the song that she told me to listen to and inevitably the song that got me into them, but later switched to bts fire bc i saw too many of those “choreo matches w any song” videos, and then her birthday party came up. and here’s the real kicker. her birthday is April Motherfuckin Fools. so it would be So Perfect for me to reveal my kpopism as a birthday present And a april fools prank in one. so i was Set on the Reveal being on april 1st, but the day rolls around and god that choreo is so fucking hard and i am Not a dancer. never have been. so i abandon that and go ykno what… i’ll do it Next Year. BC MY BITCHASS WAS LIKE NO THE MOMENT IS TOO PERFECT TO DO IT ON A NORMAL ASS DAY ITS GONNA BE ON APRIL FOOLS ON HER GODDAMN BIRTHDAY OR NOT AT ALL. a year rolls by, i’ve told most of our friends except her and they’re all in on it, i’d made so many subtle kpop references to her without her realising they were fully intentional and had too many scares where she almost figured me out but i lied my way out of it, and i’d given up on showing off with choreography bc i couldn’t make that shit look good. i’m not a dancer. i am, however, a rapper, and a damn good one, so i inhaled the agust d mixtape and decided i’d just rap the eminem of kpop’s anthem at her face. in korean. and change the lyrics at the end (if u haven’t listened to agust d, the bridge repeats “i’m sorry” a lot) to “i’m sorry i kept this from u for so long” and “i’m sorry i actually ult got7 not bts” (this was like the april after skz debuted ok i was holding onto got7 for dear life knowing full well skz we’re going to convert me smh) and the best part? she never saw it coming. her official present was a cd with a bunch of kpop on it but she thought it was just a personalised mixtape for her so i told her to play the first song out loud and she knew the song Instantly. it has a long intro so she was like “i guess u did listen when i recommended u this song!! i knew you’d like it since u like rap so much!!” and then i started rapping and i shit u not. she started SCREAMING. like the initial reaction was her jaw dropping and then instinctively covering her mouth but when i kept going and she realised i wasn’t fucking around she just fucking screamed like a banshee. at the end during the sorry bit i threw off my jacket to reveal a got7 shirt on the inside and she fell off her chair and started rolling around on the floor. needless to say it was every bit as satisfying as i thought it’d be LMAOOOO afterwards her ass was like “I CANT BELIEVE U HID THIS FROM ME FOR OVER A YEAR” and when i tried to explain my ego couldn’t take the “i told u so” she was like “you know i wouldn’t have made fun of you for it right? i would just be glad you’re not hating on my boys anymore” so basically i’m a big dramatic fool and she was always too good for me.
don’t mind the weird spaces here my ipad is being all fucky wucky w me rn. damn sad to hear ur sideblog experience didn’t go so well, i’d have shown u the cool side of the fandom if i knew 😤😤 leading u thru the cursed halls of kpop stan tumblr like a sketchy tour guide that’s actually 3 small raccoons stacked on top of each other like a trench coat, like “over here we have the fanfic writers that honestly need to publish a book, over here we have the gif makers that are responsible for my entire camera roll, if we take a quick swerve past the death threat anons and the twt fanwar screenshots - mind ur feet bub the 14 year olds were tryna make a grab for ur ankles - ah here’s the holy grail of shitposts, you might be here for hours, to the right we have the weird aussie side of the fandom that projects our childhoods onto chanlix but also all the members as we decide what their life in australia would’ve been like, and down there is a secret trapdoor to the blogs w endless random headcanons that will make you laugh, cry or blush depending on if the author woke up and decided to choose violence today. enjoy your Stay!” but then again i’m not so active on tumblr anymore (ngl you’ve become the highlight of my tumblr experience these days, interaction wise,) so maybe all my Local Hotspots are inactive now. i know a bunch of them are, it’s sad. “i don’t fw stan twitter for the same reason i don’t hang out in meth dens” oop. guess i’m a meth addict. no but i get u i rly do, it’s a hellhole out there, but the fact that things get shared and spread a lot easier than on tumblr and how short most things have to be (therefor keeping up w my adhd attention span without having to resort to the mental torture that is tiktok, with the added bonus of not always needing headphones.) that i just. couldn’t leave if i tried. maybe i should try being active on tumblr again but it’s a dying site in comparison.
“their music doesn’t consistently hit for me as much as skz” i’m sorry we can’t be friends anymore. what. what. you don’t dramama ramama ramama hey? you don’t feel a little jealousyyyyyy, naega anin? you don’t shoot out, shoot out, shoot out, or aremdaeun love killa love killa? you can’t be your hero du du du du du du du du du dududu? u disappoint me. literally like everyone i know who likes skz music likes mx music like it’s a rite of Passage. they’re kindred spirits, monsta x music is like skz’s music’s cool but mildly heterosexual older brother. neither of them know what a bad song is it runs in the family. and both their music runs in my VEINS. whenever i describe my music taste they’re always the first two that come to mind, skz being my number 1 bc they are my best boys but mx bc of the Flavour. pls listen to the entire the code album then get back to me 😤🙌 ok but fr ur so right they are 7 of the finest men i ever seen (yes i say 7 bc i’m including wonho cause he deserved better and i’ll die on my ot7 bullshit.) like don’t get me started on them either LOL i LITERALLY downloaded that one insta video of changkyun working out his back n arm muscles w his tattoo showing bc i needed that shit saved for Science. they could do Anything w me like frfr. yes vixx is the bdsm contract group i’m telling ya they wildin. or at least they were. it’s been years since their last comeback idk what they’re doing anymore tbh. and yeah that makes sense, savouring the hyperfixation i feel it, but also i’m so attached to skz that i never let it die. like i hyperfixate on other things and other groups but i will Always go back to skz cause they’re my homeboys. hell, they’re my home. being a predebut stay i’ve spent more time w skz than most of my actual family members at this point. but that’s just me you do u boo xx just know that if ur anything like me ur never letting go once skz it’s been my longest lasting fixation cause they hit like Nothing Else Do. ik i’ve already said that but i cannot stress it enough. they’re really special. i’m gonna stop here before i get all sappy and emotional bc i really love those boys so fucking much and i don’t drop the L bomb often. SIDE NOTE I WOULD LIKE TO SEE UR LIST OF GROUPS RANKED BY THORSt. i need to judge ur Taste. and omg cat&dog is such a guilty pleasure song bc the lyrics make me cringe so much bc while pet play can be fun they be doing it in more of an “i’m an innocent soft dogboy uwu” kinda way that just Does Not Sit Right with me. it comes back to the objectifying of asians that asians themselves don’t help in industries like these and maybe i’m looking too far into it when rly it is just wholesome n cute or maybe they are into some pet play shit idk idc i will bop to the song regardless but i will not acknowledge the lyrics nope.
YOURE RIGHT THO SKZ’S OPENNESS IS IN FACT, A BIG DEAL, i’ll grab them for u if u want but i found these twt threads of skz supporting the lgbt community and i just felt a special kind of happiness man like sure the delusional part of me likes going “haha they’re gay” bc my brain likes to imagine them as my polycule of mlm boyfriends bc sometimes thats what gives me the serotonin to get me thru the day ok don’t judge but also bc it’s nice knowing that yes i’ll never know them personally, but at least i can support them knowing they’d respect my gender identity and my pronouns, they’d respect who i choose to love, and that’s already more than the general public can say so shit, it is special! it’s special that they don’t treat being cishet like the norm - they constantly remove gender from their songs and speech entirely, they don’t assume all stays are female anymore, we don’t talk abt the babygirls incident cause we got babystays in the end outta that ok, and it’s just. so refreshing and important to me bc i can’t get that anywhere else!! like my semi ults are the boyz and while i love them very much and there’s no way all 11 of them are straight i refuse, i do get just a little bit sad whenever they she/her their fandom by default and call them their girlfriends n shit even tho i do still identify as a girl, i’m also genderfluid/nonbinary/transmasc, and i have a very love/hate relationship w my womanhood and rarely use she/her pronouns, cause it’s like, do you not see me? see us? the ones who aren’t cishet women? i mean i know kevin does bc he congratulated a fan who came out as nb but it’s just not the same as the openness we get w skz. like how do i trust cishets i could be supporting them as a queer person when in reality they’d call me a slur. what would i know, behind the screen? so it’s so good that skz go the extra mile to make it a safe space for everyone. this is already long enough i will reply to the second half of that ask in another message… tomorrow cause it’s 1am and i’m tired gn -felix bi anon
I'mma have to start putting these under a readmore so that i don't absolutely make everything who is still following me for some reason go totally fucking insane 😂
NDJDHWJJAHFNAKBSJSBFBHHDBDNAJD YOU HAVE NO IDEA THE FACES I WAS MAKING READING THIS, I WAS FUCKING CACKLING AND GASPING EVERY OTHER SENTENCE SO HARD THAT I SCARED THE CATS NDJWHSHSB the fact that you went "oh you want me to get into kpop? Give me a hot minute, and I'll give you a whole ass private concert for free" biduehsjdbd biiiiiiiiiiitch you're a fucking ICON, I stg I could NEVER 😂 (and not just because I couldn't find a tune if you gave me a printed set of Google maps directions and that I embody the steriotype that white people can't dance, like my sister kept sensing me tiktoks of the whole "dance like a white girl" trend going lmfao look it's you and eventually I was like "sis please this trend has me feeling like being white is a disability and these mothafuckers are being ableist 😭 also I could NEVER be that on beat so yall ain't even doin it right 😭😭😭😭"). Tbh if I told one of my friends (lol what friends, i got jokes) to get into Skz and they showed up at my bday and performed the entirety of I Got It I would simply shower them in money and go "aight everyone else go home, you are no longer needed, you are being laid off, your position has been eliminated, we're downsizing, the company is moving up and you're moving out, you are not qualified for this role any longer, best of luck with future endeavors" 😊
I think part of the reason I can't deal w Twitter is the exact reason I refuse to leave tumblr, in that I've been on tumblr since 2006 and twt since 2008, and tumblr literally has not changed at all, not even a little, whereas going from the early days of twt where there were no corporate sponsorships or ads and you had to manually copy and paste someone's tweet and @ them to retweet it, to how it is now, like 90% ads and showing me shit from the timelines of people I don't even fuckin follow n whatnot, it's just not enjoyable. Idk how anyone finds anything on twt, it confuses and frustrates me because I am old and have not adapted well to technology changing 😂 But arguably, the skz fanbase doesn't want me on skztwt anyways so like it works for both of us lmfaooo. I am old and cringey, and also still think of twt as stream of consciousness whereas tumblr is your teenage bedroom where you can decorate the walls with anything that interests you. I do really love the nonsensical kpoptwt shitposts tho fhshsbdjjss like it is a very specific flavor of mental instability that I enjoy immensely 😂 OH and also I initially misread part of that and thought you were saying you actually irl do meth and I was like 😳 WHAT DO I SAY TO THAT. HOW DO I HANDLE THIS. Like how do I express like "I wasn't being judgy of people who use substances cause I've been there but I was just being insensitive 😳" And then went back and reread it and was like WHEW, IM JUST AN ILLITERATE FOOL 😂😂😂😂 ejeywhdhrhjwbfbdjshdhdhd I spent like an hour bwign like "IS THE REASON WE GET ALONG BECAUSE THEY'RE ON METH???? WHAT DO I DO WITH THIS INFORMATION??????" hrhehshe I am literally a fuckin idiot it's fine
It's not that I don't fw them, it's more like... Okay so like there is no situation in which I am going to skip a skz song if it comes on shuffle. You will not ever catch me NOT in the mood to listen to Sunshine, if God's Menu comes on we are THROWIN the meager amount of booty meat I got hither and thither, I could be in the happiest mood of my life but if Ex comes on I will stop to SOB. And I'm not like that with most music, so mx just falls into the category of "there is a time and place." Idk why but it just doesn't forcibly grab hold of my heart and ass the way skz always does. I really don't WANT my skz fixation to ever end, but I know that eventually it'll stop giving me dopamine bevause my brain is my worst fucking enemy 🙃 like my arcana fixation is to date the longest running hyperfixation I've ever had, going on almost three years, and I used to not be able to spend every single second of every day thinking about Asra, but now... I just feel nothing when I look at arcana stuff. As you can probz tell by the fact that I hardly post arcana anymore 😂 So I know that eventually all my happiness will end, it always does, I can never stay just as obsessed with something as I was for long. I CANT SHARE THE LIST BECAUSE I DONT *HAVE* TASTE YET 😭 I'm basically just compiling a list of any group someone tells me I should look into, ranked by how strong the kitty purred upon googling pics of them 😂 My mom read my ass to FILTH over txt lmfao she was like "they're not that adorable. Maybe your standard for adorableness has gone down with You Know Who still on hiatus 🤔" bfjwhdhd like MOMMAAAAA THE LIBRARY IS CLOSED 😂 she attacks me any time I even hint at stanning other groups, she is a skz purist and stans skz only, unofficial Momma Stay of All Stays keeping me in check lmfao.
I feel like skz really do follow thru on their promise that they're a safe space for stays, it's nice to see that they hold space for anyone and everyone in their fanbase and do it in a really simple and elegant way, I feel. Like they never make it seem like "okay here are the fans and here are the token weirdos that were only recognizing to make a buck off of them" the way a lot of artists make it feel like 😑 like they don't go out of their way to act like it's some revolutionary act to do the bare minimum of not shitting on certain parts of the fandom, if that makes sense. They feel very "yeah, of course we love all our stays, this is a welcoming space for literally anyone, that's how it should be, that should be normal," instead of like "Hi fans we love you 😊 and special shoutout to you ell gee bee tee folk, make sure to buy my rainbow merch after the show!!!" you know? Like, they're the friends who would never make you feel weird or different for some shit, the friends that take the attention off you if something they know ur sensitive about comes up, instead of weirdly snapping at whoever brought the unfomfy thing up which ruins the mood and makes you feel tiwce as bad, yk? They just give off this vibe that they, and the space they create with their music, is just a genuine and chill place to be and hang out and relax and bond. I feel like they'd be the friend group that is so goofy and sweet and silly and accepting and lovely and always makes you feel loved and excited to be alive 🥺 They are all good noodles 🥺🥺🥺
