Birthday Boy

Requests: “Soo idk why I thought of this (maybe cuz of the posts of DG turning 41) but how about a shower sex smut with Elijah? Or even a birthday sex where it's Elijahs bday? Hmm... If you're feeling it then you can choose which scenario 😋😎🤗” “Riding Elijah smut?” (Credits to gif owners!) Warning! Visual smut ahead!(REPOST!!! Was a Visual Smut but edited.)

"Y/N, my love?" A hint of confusion laced in Elijah's voice. What he didn't know was that you were upset to find out his birthday was today. Klaus had hinted at it and then when you found out, you couldn't help but be a little offended. Elijah always spoiled you for your birthday, and he never told you when his was. Probably because he knew you'd go full out and he didn't ever ask for anything special. What a party pooper, to not even want to go out for drinks? Or a dinner?

His voice was getting closer and closer to your bedroom. You sat across your bed, fixing the lace cupping your breasts and resting your chin in your hand, kicking your feet up behind you and crossing your legs. "Sweetheart you haven't answered my texts." It was always like him to worry about you. "Forgive me, baby. But I don't recall doing anything-" He opened the door and quickly looked away, you caught the big bad original off guard. "Wrong." He finished his statement weakly.

His eyes never left your body, the way you pushed yourself off of the bed and let your hair fall over your shoulders. The way you walked at him until your chest was flushed against his. "I'm not angry, but a little disappointed." But he had no idea what you were getting at. There was no way he had forgotten his own birthday, was there? "How come you didn't tell me it was your birthday? Elijah we could have had dinner or went to see a movie-" Your fingers walked up his chest.

He watched and then averted his attention to your eyes. "I never celebrate. It must have never come about." Your hand slowly wrapped around his tie, tugging him down a few notches so he was eye level with you. "Y/N-" His hand grabbed your hip, but your hand wrapped in his tie, now he wasn't leaving. He saw the evil and smoky look in your eye and held himself together. His hand on your hip was starting to get hot, he had an urge to throw you down and take you. Just because he was dominant and you trying to have dominance over him always drove him crazy.

"Well then why don't we 'celebrate' a little?" You licked your lips and then pulled his face closer, licking a stripe from his jaw to his temple. Elijah's face was red, flustered and he looked almost shy. But you knew he wasn't shy. He was trying not to fuck you up the wall and wait and see what you had in store for him. But that was the thing, you didn't have anything planned because you figured he'd want to do whatever he could to you.

Without any other noises, words, anything...you dropped to your knees. Elijah wiped his mouth and watched with his hands covering his cheeks. You skimmed your hand across the front of his dress pants, teasing the soon to be hard flesh underneath. You smiled up at him as innocently as you could but God only knows you aren't innocent especially when it came to Elijah. "I figured I'd let you have me for your big day. Just to remind you how much of a gift I am to you."

"Your confidence can make a man intimidated, Y/N." His hands now behind his back. You laughed a bit and played with his belt, now undone and hanging loosely off of his hips. Your hand skimmed the front of his pants again, this time squeezing your fingers around the thick flesh. Elijah fixed his stance so he could balance better and get a better view of you below him.

Now his pants were in a puddle at his feet and at your knees. You wrapped both hands around his length and pumped him, a soft rhythm that you knew he always enjoyed. Sensual and gentle, just enough to draw soft moans out of him and to watch his chest rise and fall. Which was exactly how he reacted and sent warmth straight between your legs. You took your bottom lip between your teeth and heard Elijah moan at the sight.

"Why don't you do something instead of looking pretty?" This was completely out of character for Elijah but whatever it was, you loved it. And even took a chance at him, pushing yourself off of the ground and leaving him to the bed by his tie. You collected his hands in yours when he attempted to hold them and shoved him backwards. He bounced but regained himself, shrugging his jacket off. He helped pull you across his lap, holding your thighs and watching you unbutton his shirt and brush it off of the bed.

You positioned yourself over his lap, playing with his cock. You teased your folds with the tip at first, and then circling your clit with it. You couldn't hold back your smile when Elijah parted his legs further, as if to throw you off balance so you'd give in. But you didn't. He released a hoarse groan when you pretended you were going to sink down on him but lifted yourself again. And Elijah's growing frustration was evident.

Once more you wriggled your hips downward, pressing the tip of his cock through your folds and then pulling yourself up. Elijah sat up, one strong arm wrapped around your waist and the other pulling you down around him despite not being ready to adjust quite yet. Your hands slapped to his shoulders and a look of shock washed over your face. "Damn it Elijah-" Your figure shook slightly in his arms.

"Mmm, but I bet it feels wonderful doesn't it?" He wiped hair out of your eyes and then tightened his arm around your hip, using his other hand to hold the both of you up. His arm pushed at your hips, urging you to move. Your nails digging into his shoulders but he didn't seem to mind at all. You closed your eyes and buried your face in his neck, your heavy breaths the only thing you could hear.

Elijah was now guiding you in a rushed and hurried motion. The rhythm was rough and anything but passionate. You used him as leverage to push down around him as fast as you could, experimenting with circling your hips and thrusting quickly back and forth. An unexpected moan tumbled from your parted lips and it was loud. Louder than you expected it to be. And it must have caught Elijah off guard because he flinched and then moaned with you.

He took this as an opportunity to take your bottom lip in his mouth, biting down and hearing your whimpers. It was like music to his ears, something he could listen to all day. His arm still guiding you. You could feel your body start to shake and a spot deep within starting to ache, your orgasm was following along swiftly.

Elijah wouldn't let it happen. If you knew him well enough he'd make you hold it, and then you'd have to wait until he was almost there and then cum together. Especially if it was his birthday he might have something like that planned, something intimate.

"Elijah." You whimpered, he took your bottom lip between his teeth again. You tilted your head back, a cry sounding throughout the room while Elijah had freed you, trailing his lips down your neck and to your chest. His mouth latched onto your right nipple, your hand coming up from his shoulder to the back of his head. You ran your fingers through his soft hair and aided him in moving back and forth from each breast.

While keeping the same rhythm, you shoved Elijah backwards and planted one hand on his chest. The other sat on his thigh. He groaned at the sudden change in position but he had a full view of what was going on between your legs. Which ultimately turned him on more if that was even possible.

You bit your lip and moaned, your eyes closed softly and wiping hair out of your face when it fell. Your toes curled, the ache returning and for some reason you couldn't hold it off much longer. But you didn't think about that, you wanted to make Elijah feel good on his special day and you figured you were doing just that when he grabbed your hips and played with the flesh beneath his fingers.

"Elijah-" You whimpered down at him, your smokey eyes showing nothing but lust for him. His thumbs pressed into your hip bones, inching closer and closer to your clit. "Elijah-" You chanted again. He knew where you wanted him and he wouldn't give it to you. "Please." You shuddered but Elijah refused.

Without another word, Elijah held you close, pulling you down onto his chest where you whimpered into him. Muffled sounds, heavy breathing, moaning. You dug your nails into his arms, holding onto him as he did you. You were thankful he assisted you by thrusting up at you, holding you down and doing work for himself.

You were tired and your head was foggy and clouded. You needed your release badly. Elijah couldn't get over how you felt, gripping him, wet, moaning his name. He grunted and you felt his muscles start to strain under your hands, Elijah was never really big on making noise but tonight was a whole different story because for some reason you had done something different and he was feeling good.

His grunts in your ear turned you on more, spurring you closer to your orgasm. Elijah kissed you, he wouldn't let you go until you finished but now you were lacking oxygen from the surprise kiss. You rolled your eyes into the back of your head and came above him. You shuddered and felt as if you'd fall apart, but his strong arms were holding you together. Elijah's orgasm came soon after, moaning into the kiss and then your hands started roaming as did his.

"Definitely the most intense." You whispered down to him. You refused to move, you felt warm and comfortable, also sore from the rhythm you moved at. And you didn't want to move. Not until Elijah rolled you over, straddling your waist and smiling down at you. "What?" You laughed with him.

"You forget its my birthday, I don't believe I'm finished with you quite yet. I'm getting used to celebrating." He kissed you once more before trailing his lips down your stomach and finishing you off for the rest of the night.

making a cake for oikawa’s birthday.

headcanon : making a cake for oikawa’s birthday with aoba johsai as your little helpers.

so you asked everyone if they could come over to make a cake

ON THE DAY OF OIKAWAS BIRTHDAY because u guys were too indecisive to choose a day

and you had to text oikawa that you all would be busy for a couple hours which made him :((

funny thing is iwaizumi said he wasn’t going to make a cake for oikawa but here he is at your doorstep along with the others

so you give all of they ask for aprons but the thing is.... you only have girly ones

they’re like 😀😀😀😀

nd ur like “ok get the batter all over urself then” partly because u wanted to see them in a heart apron

so eventually they take it nd inside ur like Fuck yes but move on

you asked kunimi to get vanilla cake flour like the ones you find at the grocery stores

because you only had chocolate flour at ur house

“kunimi, can you give me the vanilla cake flour please!”

and he hands it over to you and ur like....

“these are brownies, kunimi.”

“oh shit sorry i just grabbed wtv i could”

so now you’re making chocolate cake!!!

out of everyone, i think iwaizumi would be the only like decent baker, he could bake a few things if he wanted to

but the rest...

you ask makki and hatsukawa to grab 2 eggs from the fridge, considering it’s an easy job

hatsukawa gives his egg to u just fine but here comes makki

“y/n, catch!” makki shouts across the room

you panick?!???? wtf makki this egg is not a ball!!!!

but ur hero iwaizumi saves it before it hits ur face 🥺

i’m js gna put you in the middle of everything, making the others put in cups one at a time would be tiring

so after you finish that, you ask kindaichi to kindly mix the batter with the automatic mixer

i think kindaichi would want to help, and he’ll put in his best effort too!! so he’ll turn the mixer on and

little does he know it’s on full speed

and the flour gets Everywhere.

“I’M SORRY, I’LL TRY HARDER!” he pleads as you pat his back saying it was ok

iwaizumi takes over the job... (cannot stop thinking about his biceps)

then the cake batter is done! while iwa mixed it you had already set the temp

yahaba decided it would be a good idea to put in pink, so the cake is now pretty and cute

but, kyotani thought it was a bit too cute... and dipped his finger in the batter and ate it 🙂

you all went silent as you guided him to get some water, hes gna need it

matsukawa would be like pink is too dull, let’s add more!!

resulting in half of the cake batter just being an explosion of colors

you finally manage to get it in the oven

“now time for the frosting!!!”

you were a bit scared to make the frosting, you knew the boys would eat it right away

and your predictions were not wrong...

yahaba is mixing nd he’s like.. my hand tired take kyotani

and mf stirs SO hard the frosting is all over the place

and so you and iwaizumi go to get clorox wipes to clean the half of the frosting that fell out the bowl up

but you come back to kyotani licking the floor and makki and hatsukawa licking the table

...

feels bad for kyotani he is literally going to barf

anyways you wait until the cake is done once you all are finished with the frosting

the boys had no mistakes with coloring the frosting, considering the we’re obsessed with food coloring

it’s all gone good and well, until you ask kunimi to check on the cake

instead of clicking the light on the oven, MF CLICKS THE OFF BUTTON

sigh

“whoops, my hand slipped”

“next time you won’t have a hand to slip ❤️”

you check on the cake anyways AND IT DEFLATED... LIKE THERES A SPACE IN THE MIDDLE THAT JUST SHRUNK and ur like wow this is going well

you put it in the oven for a bit more and it eventually comes out atleast edible

you then go back to watch tv so the cake can cool

“so, what’re we going to put in the middle of the cake boys.”

“SPRINKLES”

“i second that”

“yeah why not”

these headasses literally decided to put all the sprinkles in the hole instead of around the cake

but before that, you frosted the cake

it was and array of colors brown, red, white, orange, pink... more colors you didn’t know existed but the boys made it anyways

you asked who wanted to put the frosting on and iwaizumi IMMEDIATELY TOOK THE FROSTING BAG

in your head: ok he’s putting an h, a, p, p, y, b, d, a, y, s, h, i,

hold on

shittykawa

and he made it specifically on the brown section of the cake 😔

alright, it was finally time to call oikawa over

and so he acts clueless when you ask him to come inside but in reality he’s been waiting out there for five minutes about to barge in

he comes in like... where tf are you guys but he sees candles lit on what seemed like a cake behind the gifts on the kitchen counter

and before he could see the cake you all popped up singing happy bday

baby started crying 🥺🥺

you go over and pay his head and comfort him, leading to everyone giving him a group hug

you’re so nervous for him to see the cake

he heads over to the cake like “... 😀” pretending it looks nice

but he’s so happy you guys actually planned something

even though there was flour and eggs all over the place

he really appreciated the effort

he thought it was so sweet, it meaning the cake

anyways i love oikawa if i see any of u hating on him i’m gna grrrr at u

[evphology]

— [ ✎ . . . . ] ; this is for you, @kodzukenscorner!

happy, happy birfday, angel 🥺 you hold such a dear place in my heart since you’re the first person i’ve ever talked to here on tumblr. i was so hesitant to reach out, so when you welcomed me and treated me so kindly, i decided that tumblr wasn’t such a bad place after all. so thank you so much for being such a sweetheart, because if it wasn’t for you, i wouldn’t have met many other moots or even posted anything.

n e ways, i know i’m very inexperienced with the whole writing/headcanons thingy, but i do hope that you still enjoy this just as much as i enjoy your content. p.s. is the gif working? 

➞ the day starts off with an unusual message from your boyfriend of 10 months — it was an audio message with his morning voice greeting you with a ‘happy birthday, my sweet angel, i can’t wait to see you in an hour’

➞ he usually sends you a simple good morning text, so to receive a voice message with more than just a ‘good morning’? you legit thought you were still dreaming

➞ you two usually meet at the school gates, but today was different; he greeted you at your doorsteps with the dorkiest smile a person could ever muster, and a big bouquet of your favourite flowers in his free hand

➞ “happy birthday, love” is the first thing he says before he gives you a hug and a soft peck on your cheeks, which is sooo different from you two’s usual simple good morning greetings; he also holds your hand all the way to school 🥺 you ended up thinking he was on something because it was so unusual of him to show affection unless you’re both alone

➞ you see that the whole vbc’s waiting for you and akaashi at the school gates, and the moment bokuto’s wandering eyes landed on you two, this man just turns into a megaphone that only speaks birthday greetings

“y/n! hey, hey, hey! happy birthday! it’s your birthday— your special day!”

“bokuto-san, do you really have to announce it to the whole world?”

“...but that’s impossible. they can’t hear me all the way in a different country...”

➞ now everyone in fukurodani academy knows that it’s your birthday whether you like it or not (you’re also carrying this big bouquet of flowers, so maybe because of that, too) so expect greetings from left to right

➞ if akaashi was being completely honest, he didn’t even want the others to know that it’s your bday since he wanted it to be a special occasion that you two would celebrate privately; but he realized that he would be such a selfish boyfriend, so now he’s just enduring the slight hint of jealousy he feels with the massive amount of attention that you’re getting (bcause he still wanted you to pay lots of attention to him, not the other guys wishing you a happy bday🥺)

➞ he made you a bento box filled with your favourite food that he all made from scratch — most of it were shaped into hearts; he also fed you, which again, is sooo out of character for him (pls appreciate his efforts)

➞ the teacher asked you to stay after classes to help them with something, and so you couldn’t hang out with the vbc like you usually do after school, but akaashi ofc stayed behind for you since there wasn’t a volleyball practice scheduled

➞ when you finally got done, he asks you if you wanted a piggy-back ride and hang out at his house for a bit — ofc you accept — and now he’s carrying you back to his place with the smallest and softest smile on his lips (he was having so much heart palpitations from nervousness, omg help the poor boi)

➞ okay, so i won’t lie, they planned a surprise bday party for you; the reason why the vbc left early was to prepare it at akaashi’s house, and they actually asked the teacher to make you stay a lil’ longer since they needed time to prepare

➞ but the thing is, when you neared his house, you heard an oh-so familiar muffled voice screech “y/n’s here! she’s he—“ and you see bokuto’s figure getting dragged away from the living room window 😭 so much for a surprise... but he’s just really excited as well, okie?

➞ akaashi sighs and asks you to pretend that you didn’t hear nor see that since the vbc (and him, but he didn’t want to say that) worked really hard for the bday surprise

➞ so you turn the knob, akaashi behind you, and you haven’t even fully opened the door but you’re already tackled in a bear hug by yukie, konoha, and bokuto — akaashi catches you from behind to stabilize your stance again and he literally had the deadliest glare set on the trio, so ofc they back away but not too suspiciously

“you guys forgot to pop your streamers.”

“oh, yeah! wait— there you go! happy, happy, happy birthday, y/n!”

➞ tbh, akaashi ended up ust being on the sidelines for the most part of the party; he wanted you to enjoy your special day with everyone else you loved without having to worry about him; seeing and hearing your beautiful laugh and smile was already more than he could ask for

➞ when it was times for presents though, he made sure that he was sat right next to you— his hand was also resting on the small of your back the entire time you opened the presents you received from the vbc and his parents (yes, you’ve already met his parents and they love you so much)

➞ everyone finally finished giving you their presents (it’s your usual designer bags, shoes, money, etc. though bokuto actually bought you a huge owl cake for a present) so it was finally your beau’s turn

➞ you could see a soft hue of red creeping up from his neck and little beads of sweat on his forehead, but it’s because he’s so nervous, okay? 🥺 he’s never been so affectionate with you in public, so this was very different to him

➞ he first gave you a box filled with various things: clothing, snacks, makeup, perfume, lotion, etc.

➞ once you gave his cheek a kiss to thank him and thought that that was that, he pulls out a velvet box and bro, when i tell you everyone went wild, they went wild

“akaashi, no! you’re too young!”

“bokuto-san, this isn’t a—“

“i don’t want to be old yet 😭 i can’t be your kids’ uncle, i don’t have money yet.. i don’t even know how to boil water! please, akaash—“

“...ahem. sorry about that, akaashi, pls continue 🙂”

“thank you, konoha-san.”

➞ it was the ring you were eyeing when you two went on a shopping date last month

➞ you could see his hands shaking as he held it out for you to put yours in; he slowly put the breathtaking ring on your ring finger (bokuto almost lost it bcause he legit thought it was a proposal) once it was perfectly placed, he let out a breath he wasn’t even aware he was holding in

“this isn’t a proposal, i know that we’re both too young for that... perhaps in the future, but this is a promise ring. i know we haven’t been together for long, but you give me so much happiness and motivation; you just make my life so much better and you fill it with love everyday. so this is a ring to symbolize that i’ll continue to love you and wait until the day comes when i can finally switch this with an ᵉⁿᵍᵃᵍᵉᵐᵉⁿᵗ ʳⁱⁿᵍ”

➞ then kith... he kissed you... while people are around... let alone in front of them?! chaos has began: bokuto almost faint, yukie’s squealing, konoha’s in a state of distress because of the ace, kaori’s being emotional and wiping the tears from her eyes, onaga, sakurui, and komi were cheering their homeboy on, while washio just has a huge smile on his face

➞ but while chaos unfolded and surrounded you and akaashi, you two were both too lost in each other’s eyes that shined with pure adoration and love; every sound was muffled, but the soft and genuine whisper of ‘i love you so much’ that fell from his lips, you heard loud and clear

➞ to say the least, it was by far the best birthday you’ve ever experienced, and akaashi has now made it his mission to surpass it every year ‧₊˚✩彡

lmao, this is so short, forgive me but you said short hcs so i didn’t want to make it too long 🥺 anyways happy birthday again! hope you enjoy this... whatever this thing is that i’ve made. love ya’, angel!

p.s. can you teach me how to write hcs? cause like how do you make yours sound so good 😭 i’m legit confuzzled

#happy birthday #haikyuu!! #haikyuu #akaashi keiji #akaashi #akaashi headcanons #akaashi hcs #is this considered a hc? idek

[kpopper]

how did u make that massive bday gif thing that shit is crazy amazing, like the writing lines up and everything, what is this sorcery????

jfdsklfjskl nony PLEASE you’re too kind T^T i’m going to make a basic tutorial under the cut 

so first i’m gonna gif every small frame that i want, since i’m doing lines with 5 gifs each, i have 5 small gifs of 105 x 140 px and the middle one being 104 x 140 px [the size of the gifs depend on how many you want in a line and it’s basically down to math, i blatantly stole my horizontal dimensions from @ericnams​ and that one incredible san gifset] 

so now i have 5 gifs of the same size but they all have a different number of frames, simply because the scenes that i want do not have the exacty ammount of screen time between them. so we go to step two: make all gifs having a proportionate number of frames

this could either mean i get all my gifs to, say, 50 frames each or, how it happened frequently with faster scenes, i’d get one gif with 25 frames, duplicate it to achieve 50 overall, and all other gifs with 50 frames as well. the important thing is to have all gifs with the same ammount of frames so the third step will go smoothly

create a document with the size of the compilation of gifs you want (i used 540 x 140 px) 

go to first gif, select all frames and copy them

then you go to your destined document and paste all of them with this settings:

it will not work unless you paste OVER the selection, and i always chose to tick the last box as well bc it made sense in my head but tbh idk if it’s necessary or not 

do this step for every gif you want side by side and until it looks like this

i personally grouped every layer from every gifset in different groups bc it helps me not only rearrange them spacially but also to pin point where is the problem if something happens 

optional: set the timing between frames for 0.07 (as i said this is my standard timing for gifsets but yall free to do whatever you like best)

then you color however you like best! since they are from different mvs i had to do what i call color correction a lot basically everything, and i do it by doing this:

use the select tool 

and set a fixed size for it

then i go over the specific gif that i want

and immediately select the coloring tool that im planning on using it, so it looks like this

now i can tweak the brightness/contraste of that specific gif without interfering with the others

catch the difference? :D

i do this with every single gif until their colors look more or less coherent with each other, then i use more adjustions for the whole line as well. this process is different every time and it depends on what you’re looking for, and my end result is basically this

(pls ignore that i changed the order in some of them i’m doing it from scratch to teach you) 

so after you do this process for every line (i did 7) it’s time for the fonts. this will probably depend on what you find easier but i uploaded everything on tumblr (for teaching purposes i’ll only upload 6/7 lines i made bc it fits on my screen and it’s easier)

so now i have an idea of how the entire thing will look like and i can use that to determine where my letters will go (honestly i only did this because initially i planned on writing happy birthday yoongi on the bottom right of the gifset) 

ngl i dont even remember which font i used for this gifset so i’ll take the closest one

let’s pretend this is what i did. you just gotta write whatever you’d like with the font you think best, decide which size/letter spacing looks better and arrange at place of your choice. now it’s important to take notice of which lines are getting written across, in this case are lines 2, 3, 4 & 5.

take that square selective tool again with the fixed size, but now you use the overall size of the compilation line (mine: 540 x 140 px) and copy what is in front of each line

now you open line 2, 3, 4 & 5 (you must have saved them as psds beforehand, preferably lmao) and paste it over the actual gif! 

and then i go to tumblr and upload them, and if they aren’t aligned i go back to photoshop and adjust the text layer to the right or left until they look like they’re in the right position 

and boom! there you go! a massive gifset! hope this was helpful any doubt please don’t hesitate to ask me hehhehehe

Happy Birthday (PENTAGON: Jinho)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, JINHO!!!!!!!

Here it issss!!! Please keep in mind: this was written at around 4PM KST, well before Jinho’s YouTube live, so I didn’t really know what he was planning to do. But I saw this post on Twitter about Jinho wanting to eat seaweed soup for his birthday and an idea sprung. Another thing is, I didn’t wanna post a bday fic late again, so I had to churn this out quick (which is hard because we have two celebrants today). So maybe let’s pretend he didn’t eat seaweed soup on his YouTube live for the sake of this fic, mkay?

WARNINGS: n/a. WORD COUNT: 765.

---

There’s lots of things people want to do on their birthday: go out on dates or outings with family, eat at a fancy restaurant because you want to try it and it’s your birthday and you can do anything you want, some people even throw parties and dance the night away. 

But Jinho being the old man that he is in his late twenties thinks those things just aren’t for him. He doesn’t really have the time to go out on dates and outings (if he did, he would want it to be an all-day thing anyway, but he has stuff to do as well), eating at fancy restaurants just stresses him out (not because of the money, but because he feels pressured to do everything perfectly), and he’s not really one for big parties (there’s enough excitement with the members everyday; he needs a break once in a while). 

So when he gets back to the dorm later that night, after working on some songs, doing a YouTube live stream, and rehearsing for Road To Kingdom until the ungodly hours of night, all he really has the energy to do is eat something quick, shower, and fall headfirst into bed.

Jinho stretches, groans as his joints crack with a satisfying pop. He rolls his neck around, this way and that, as he drags his feet to the kitchenette, which is basically a stove-sink-counter situation and a decently sized fridge against the wall. A square table for four, its chairs neatly tucked underneath, sits a few paces away. It’s a nice table, Jinho thinks, I like that table.

The fridge doesn’t have much, just his favorite things like juice drinks, some vegetables, microwavable meals. New additions are the ice cream cake that the members got him and Hongseok that they split between them, and Tupperware filled with food. He smiles as he reaches in to take the containers.

He pries one open--japchae. It’s been in the fridge for a while, but the flavorful smell is still strong enough that his stomach rumbles when it hits his nose. Jinho puts the cover back on loosely and leaves it unlocked so it can air out while it spins in the microwave. He checks the other Tupperware while the noodles heat up: seaweed soup.

I went over and left some food for you in the fridge, your text much earlier had said. Make sure to eat them! Happy birthday, oppa! ❤️

Jinho has half a mind to call you. He talked to you that morning, and sent you texts throughout the day, but he wants to hear you again. But it’s almost 3AM and you’re probably sleeping, so he doesn’t bother. 

The microwave beeps its three beeps, and he carefully, gingerly takes out the warm container with his sleeve-covered fingers. The soup isn’t that cold anymore, but he slides it into the warm chamber just as well, and sets the timer to two minutes. 

He gets a pair of chopsticks and a spoon from the drawer, the metals clinking against one another softly in the silent room, and sets the cutlery and the japchae on the table. He tries to think of a good reply to you while the microwave continues to hum, but his train of thought gets cut off when it beeps again. As if on cue, his stomach rumbles.

Jinho takes out the container the same way as before, being mindful of the hot soup sloshing around inside and taking care to not spill it as he takes it to the small table. The noodles and the soup smell heavenly; it makes his mouth water.

A chopstick-full of noodles makes its way into his mouth and he moans as the flavors--sweet, savory, a tiny bit salty--explode on his tongue. This is the best meal he’s had all day, if he was being honest. Hot soup is slurped, sip by sip, with care (Jinho doesn’t need a burnt mouth on his birthday) and it’s just as good as the noodles.

He picks up his phone, goes on KaKaoTalk and quickly types in, The food is so good! Thank you, jagi ❤️ it’s the best meal I’ve had all day.

Jinho relaxes as the warmth of the meal slithers down to his stomach and spreads all over his body. The meal is so good he has to stop himself from just scarfing it all down, especially the soup--so light and so good.

Turning another year older isn’t a big deal to Jinho anymore, but this birthday is surely one for the books.

Years and Counting (Steve Rogers x Stark! Reader)

Request by @helloimanavenger ; I saw that you are taking requests. Ik Tony's bday was yesterday, but how about the reader who is Tony's daughter and Steve's wife plans a suprise bday party for her dad. Fluff with like her and Steve's kids helping to plan the party/keeping their grandpa out of the house maybe. Also Pepper and the rest of the team helping. I need sappy cuteness please 💛.

Now only doing one request at a time instead of starting all of them and ending up not completing them

Okay my dad and Tony share the same birthday lucky fucker

__________________________________

"Steve,"

"Steve,"

"Steve Rogers!"

You heave a breath, eyes looking up at your hands holding up the banner then looking down at your feet on the stool,

"For fucks sake," You extend a foot, toe reaching for the staple gun on the desk feet from you, your eyes squinting as your toe poked the gun farther away, your groan heard throughout the room,

You scoot closer, yelping when your foot balancing yourself slides, but two strong arms wrap at your waist, holding you up so your hands could release the banner and fly to buff arms to keep steady,

"Language," A voice murmurs in your ear, your eyes rolling as you rest your feet on the floor of the tower and turn around, "Well I wouldnt be languaging like that if you came to me the first time I called,"

"Languaging? Thats not even proper English," Steve states, eyebrow raised as you scoff, spinning around to grab the staple gun and pointing it at his chest,

"You're not proper English," You mutter, standing up on the stool a second time, feeling Steves firm hands plant at your thighs,

"The twins texted," Steve starts, listening for your hum before continuing, "They took Tony and Happy to Starbucks apparently to try new drinks,"

"Mhm, knowing my dad he'll say he loves him all despite hating them all," You click your tongue, looking over the banner and mouthing the words across;

Happy Birthday Anthony Stark

You turn around on the stool and tap Steves cheek, waiting for him to lift you up and set you down in repeat,

"I think he's going to really like it," You slide your arms to Steve's neck, pecking his lips slowly, "Please never get rid of this," Your thumbs draw acrosd his beard, Steve laughing against your mouth,

"You only like it because of what it can do in bed," Steve tests, watching you lean back and grin, your phone ringing,

"Y/N!" Peppers voice rings in your ear, cheerful and full of excitement, "I got the cake, iced by the best I know,"

"It looks like Iron Man, right?" You pat Steves chest, walking to the box of balloons and tossing it to Steve with your phone pressed between your ear and shoulder, "You know he likes it like that, makes him feel special,"

"If he doesnt feel special after this we've done something wrong," The voice of your youngest twin sounds behind her grandmother, your figure pausing as you hold the phone with your hand,

"Wait, what's (Daughter/Name) doing with you? I thought her and James were with Tony at Starbucks," You rush to the kitchen, looking through the millions of cabinets for Tonys favorite alcohol, "Karen, play Dads favorite,"

"Yes Mrs. Rogers,"

A soft tune plays distantly, and you mutter a curse when finding the alcohol bottle near empty, "Pep Im gonna need you to pick up dad's favorite alcohol again,"

"James and Happy took Tony to see the new movie that came out, I picked up (D/N) when she pretend to call in need of tampons," Pepper raises her eyebrow, looking over her shoulder to her grandchild,

"Classic. Just make sure dad doesnt show up for another good hour. We still have balloons to blow up and dad's present isnt wrapped. Uncle Rhodey said he'd wrap it but hes caught up in his own gift downstairs," You breathe out, sinking onto the couch,

"Y/N, calm down sweetheart, everythings going apart of plan," Pepper smiles despite you not being able to see, and you close your eye's, nodding,

"I know but, this is the one time we're doing a surprise party, I really want this to go well for him," You explain quietly, and Pepper laughs,

"It will. Am I still needing to pick up (S/N) from daycare?"

"Please. Steves got the balloons going and Im wrapping dad's gift now. Let me know if something happens and dont forget the alcohol!" You dont allow her to speak, hanging up and throwing your phone on the couch, grabbing wrapping paper from the closet and searching for Tonys gift,

"Peppers right," Steve soothes, hand stopping you by wrapoing at your waist and dragging you to your chest, "Take it easy,"

"Im trying," You plea, "This is the first year we all actually get to be here for dads birthday. With the twins, and the team, and with you and me, and now (S/N)," You shrug tiredly, "Nothing can go wrong,"

"And it won't," Steve rests his lips at your forehead, your eyes shutting as you nod, pressing your forehead to his chest,

. . .

"Okay okay okay," You hold up a hand, snapping your fingers so the dark room fell silent, "Dads on his way now as we speak with Happy. He thinks hes attending a meeting upstairs but Happy will bring him to this floor and when he comes out, surprise!" You whisper yell, propping (S/N) on your hip, "Everyone got it?"

You raise a thumbs up, looking back when the elevator dings, and you rush to hide in the corner with Natasha and Pepper,

"Why's it dark?" Tony mutters into the room, hand pressing to the wall and sliding in search for the switch, "Karen, flick on the-"

The lights shine on, Tony stepping back when a crowd of almost twenty people jump out, excitedly shouting,

"SURPRISE! HAPPY BIRTHDAY TONY STARK!"

Tony blinks, hand at his chest before he spots you, your grin so wide tears began to sting in your eye's,

"This was your idea," Tony points, as you laugh and hand off your youngest child to Steve, running up to Tony to embrace him tightly,

"All me dad," You lean back, wiping away a tear, "You have no idea how much work it took to go as plan,"

"I love it," Tony looks around, the twins, Natasha, Steve, Clint, Rhodey, Wanda, the guardians, the Wakandians (?), Thor, Pepper, Harley, Peter, May, and so many to count,

"You have no idea how many times moms almost had a heart attack in the past six hours," James runs up, grabbing your arm, "Grandma do this, Dad do that, Grandpa Rhodey do everything!"

"You try planning a surprise party for me one day," You test, and (D/N) jogs up with a tightly wrapped box,

"This was specifically from Mom. Happy birthday Grandpa Stark," She hands the box to Tonys open hands, the man sitting down at the table to peal the wrapping off,

Inside was a variety of gifts; the first Tony pulling out being the first helmet you worked on together when you were a teenager,

"I thought we lost this in the house explosion," Tony gasps, eyes scanning the helmet and drawing his thumbs over the scratched metal,

"When I went missing for literally five minutes? I had to save that," You sit across from Tony, waiting for him to pull out more,

He pulls out a piece of paper, and it takes him mere seconds to realize what it was; your birth certificate,

"Ive finally confinced mom to let you have it and framed," You explain, Tony meeting your eyes through glossy orbs and smiling widely,

Lastly, he pulls out a note card, opening it up and looking at you as it says, and you throw your hands up, confetti floating on the table,

"You're gonna be a grandpa of four!" You shout, Tony pausing to process this information before his eyes widen, snapping to Steve,

"How many times are you going to fuck my daughter!?"

**Yayy so many requests to go through!

Birthday Boy (1/2) (Biadore): doctor bitchcraftt & Miss Alyssa Secret

Danny can’t wait to find out what his surprise present is, Bonnie has birthday plans to take care of, and Roy’s in Toronto. Supposedly.

Anon request: “Miss alyssa I know you are in the midst of the epic and angsty sex on the beach but fancy writing some smut for adores bday?? I totally see Roy going all out...”

A/N: Bringing you the best of both worlds - Cuddles in chapter one by doctor_bitchcraftt, smut in chapter two by Miss Alyssa ;). Bianca’s totally booked for her tour, but we’re going to pretend she snuck off for a day before Danny went to New York.

Sorry to have been MIA! We’ve been busy over on AO3 (WIP: Miss Alyssa’s saga in Sex On The... at just under 15k and climbing, bitchcraftt with fluffy one-shots and Besties for Ca$h, and our collab with Danny taking care of Roy after his breakup), so please do swing by and let us know what we can do for you. Xoxoxoxo, bitchcraftt & MAS

Comments always welcome on AO3

********

“Mom...?”

Danny blinked in surprise when Bonnie met him at the door, keys and sunglasses in hand. She propped the other hand on her hip, surveying him from head to toe with a mother’s eye.

”What’s wrong?”

”Nothing?”

Her arched brow meant she didn’t believe him at all, moving her hand to the doorframe and effectively blocking him from ducking into the house around her.

”Dan.”

”Just. Bianca hasn’t like texted or called and she always does the day before.”

“I’m sure Bianca’s got a good reason.”

”But she always does, Mom. What if she’s mad at me for not-“

Instead of commiserating, Bonnie kissed his cheek, then breezed past and made it halfway down the driveway before Danny’s brain caught up.

”Mom!”

Bonnie paused with the car door open, waving her hand at the house in a shooing motion.

”I’ve got things to do before your birthday, baby. One of your presents arrived early though, it’s upstairs on your bed. I’ll be back in a couple of hours, so you better clean up any mess before that.”

The car door closed and Danny turned back to the house, unable to quite place the expression on her face. Somewhere between a knowing smirk and affectionate indulgence. Either way, he hadn’t been expecting anything out of the ordinary and couldn’t imagine what the surprise was.

Humming, he locked the front door and kicked off his shoes, heading directly upstairs. The door to his room was closed, and he bounced on his toes in excitement before reaching for the handle. Bonnie never let him open gifts early on his birthday no matter how much he begged (completely immune to the pleading eyes that worked on everyone else), so this was obviously going to be good.

Opening the door slowly to savor the anticipation, his mouth fell open in shock. Instead of a bag or box, the surprise lounging on his bed set his phone down and grinned.

”Happy birthday, pussyface.”

”B!”

Danny dropped his backpack and nearly tripped over his own feet in his haste to cross the room. He righted himself by grabbing the dresser, then continued, not stopping until he lifted Roy completely off the bed in the tightest hug he could manage.

“Whoa, hey...careful, I’m old,” he laughed into Danny’s hair as he buried his face in Roy’s neck.

”Shut up, bitch,” came the muffled order, “I’m having my moment.”

Turning, he dropped them both into the desk chair, ignoring the way it creaked under their combined weight. He tugged until Roy was snugly on his lap, wrapping his arms around him again the moment his elbows were out of the way.

”You’re supposed to be on tour! How the- what are you even...?”

Recently plumped lips curved into a wicked smile.

“Took the day off, couldn’t let you turn thirty without celebrating. Early, but still.”

Understanding dawned on Danny’s face.

”Mom said she’d be back in...oh. Ohhhh. Wait, did she know?”

Roy settled more comfortably against his shoulder.

“Considering she’s the one that let me in, I’d say yes.”

”You know what I meant. Did you guys have this planned?”

”Nope. But I’m glad your mom didn’t have my head for disrupting her party planning.”

”Nahhh. Mom really likes you, so...”

Fingers crept under the sides of his torn shirt, scratching gently, and he nuzzled at Roy’s cheek in response.

“We really gonna talk about Bonnie now?”

Danny shrugged, wiggling his torso in a hint for Roy’s hand to move over his back.

”Pry not. Are you gonna-“

He felt the suppressed yawn, spying just a hint of it caught in a dimple as Roy pressed his lips together.

”B...” Danny paused, finally seeing the dark circles under his eyes, “it’s like, six hours from Toronto.”

”It is.”

”You can’t stay.”

It wasn’t a question, but he shook his head anyway.

“My flight out’s at eleven.”

Danny did his best to control his expression, but he could feel the pout forming. He ought to be happy enough that Roy was here, and not complain that they only had a couple of hours.

”Hey,” Roy’s voice brought him back, hand seeking his out, “it’s not that bad. I wasn’t gonna get to see you at all, but I got Jamie to move some things around.”

He dropped his head back onto Danny’s shoulder, unabashedly snuggling (it made sense - Bianca didn’t get to do much cuddling besides hugging her fans).

“It’s your birthday, pussyface. What do you wanna do?”

Skip this post.

Yeah, I blame this one on the date.

Today, jan 6th, is my birthday.

Now, I’ll start by saying that I don’t have a really good “relationship” with my birthday. In the southern hemisphere it’s summer and everyone is on holiday, plus is so close to Christmas and NY that most people just don’t feel like celebrating. Most of my family always got away with making just one present for both dates (even my own parents), and my bday parties weren't something I enjoyed. My friends were all on holiday and the guests were family I didn’t exactly get along with.

Plus, there’s always my mom forcing me to interact with people. Being an introvert I much rather spend my bday reading in my room. (my Grandma always bought me books or comics), but no, I was dragged from my room to “tend” to people and eat cake (which I NEVER liked, I don’t eat sweets, and my mom to this day asks me what kind of cake I want).

Anyway, my birthday was never “mine” to enjoy. I never enjoyed it, it was a dreadful day full of people I didn’t wanna spend time with and no presents, cause the christmas present was enough.

When I grew older, depression kicked in. My birthday was even more dreadful and horrible. A reminder of a day I wish never happened, and honestly, I never felt like my bday never was anything to be happy about.

It took years for me to come to terms with my birthday.

And it happened once I realized that I could do whatever the fuck I wanted. 

I could tell my mom: no, I won’t be home, please don’t come visit.

I could turn my phone off, I could go away for the weekend, I could spend the afternoon drinking alone, I could go out with my friends… Basically I took the day as an excuse to do something.

And still people manage to ruin it for me.

One year it was a group of friends insisting I should do something when I wasn’t in the mood.

Another year was another group of friends who left me hanging with leaving for the weekend.

Last year it was my dad, who pretended he didn’t have time to come have lunch with me, despite my sister letting him know we were going out one week in advance. (seriously, he sent me a text saying no one told him about the lunch date, and I was like I HAVE A SCREENCAP OF MY SISTER TELLING YOU!!!)

This year, I purposefully made plans with my friends. I’ve been having a really bad time and 2018 was awful. (I actually spent New Year night alone drinking beer). I wanted to start with something that made me happy.

So, my dad invited me for lunch yesterday and I had lunch with some friends today.

Another group of friends got together last week to celebrate a surprise birthday and I asked when were we going to the karaoke (it’s been a while and we used to go a lot). One of them said, let’s go on saturday and we celebrate your bday that night. They all agreed.

Friday afternoon, on the WhatsApp group chat, one asked if we were going to do anything on saturday. One of them said she forgot and now she had to go visit her inlaws, another one said she was going to the beach with the bf. The one who asked said: “Oh, too bad.” and the last one suggested we go next week, to which no one answered. I just blocked the notifications and haven’t read anything on it since (despite getting some mentions on it today).

Last sunday we celebrated a surprise bday. One of them took the time to arrange us going to the bday girl’s house without her realizing, we took lunch and beers and presents with us. Me? Nothing, nothing at all… not even the effort to say or do something. The excuse? That I don’t like celebrating, so what’s the point?

Part of me wanted to say something, but at the same time I am too old and tired for that shit. I’ve been made very aware that some friends are more important than others there (and that goes beyond what happened yesterday). I shut out a LOT when this happens, so that’s what I did last night. Blocked my Facebook wall, logged out of WhatsApp and went to sleep.

Today, I went out for lunch with another group of friends. We went to Johnny Rockets and they obviously told the staff it was my bday, so I got a song and free ice cream. Many other friends sent messages, despite having my FB off. Others gifted me not only their well wishes, but their words, and wrote meaningful things for me.

And I realized that I was dwelling on the expectations I have on only one group of friends, and ignoring everyone else. I actually enjoyed my day despite what happened.

I guess what I’m saying is: I shouldn’t have boycotted my day over a few disinterested people. Cause no matter how passive-aggressive I get, they won’t be the ones suffering or wondering. They will keep going on with their lives, blissfully ignorant.

Anyway. It’s my birthday. I had a great lunch yesterday and a great afternoon today. I got gifts in the form of fanfiction and ice cream and I have the day off tomorrow.

I’m having a beer and gonna watch the golden globes tonight.

It could be worse.

Happy 35th to me :D

I was trying to put some of Bitty’s tweets in order for a small screencap but then it just turned out to be easier??? to format the entire month of March 2016??? IDEK a little bit of computer code is a dangerous thing to know

ANYWAY. As available here, except in chronological order, here are Bitty’s most recently-released tweets:

1  @omgcheckplease:  I refuse to talk about politics, but I literally let out a sigh of relief when coach told me who he voted for. <3 THANKS, POP!

2  @omgcheckplease:  Personally? I'd teach the finer workings of Samwell hockey anywhere but on that upholstered cesspool we call a couch, but I trust Lardo.

3  @omgcheckplease:  Lardo: And if someone's late you just write it down. If someone doesn't show let RH know. Ford: RH. RansomHolster. Got it. Lardo: 'swawes.

4  @omgcheckplease:  Ford: Right. I get that it's positive? But why do you guys say 'swawesome? Me: You'll find something weirder to worry about soon enough.

5  @omgcheckplease:  Nursey: Hey, Las Vegas is playing Providence tonight. Dex: Uh oh. Jack versus Parse. Dex: I'm obvs rooting for Jack but that should be good.

6  @omgcheckplease:  I shouldn't be thinking about jam this much, but here I am. Thank my wonderful aunt.

7  @omgcheckplease:  NHL players like pie--but also mason jars filled w/ jam prepared according to an old family & aunt-perfected recipe. (A lil' bird told me.)

8  @omgcheckplease:   But when your friend asks you to make a batch, does he mean enough for his team? Does that include the coaching staff?

9  @omgcheckplease:  Whew! Now I can hit the hay. #PVDFalconers!

10  @omgcheckplease:  What Ransom &I Talk About: - Hockey / The underclassmen - Life plans - Music - Dating and significant others. - Alexei Mashkov's instagram

11  @omgcheckplease:  Tango: I had a date to homecoming my senior year, but before that I was homecoming alone. Nursey: PFFFFFT. Dex: Jesus, Tango. Chowder:...OH

12  @omgcheckplease:  Picked up my phone to capture that poor child Tango's words in tweet form.

13  @omgcheckplease:  The #GoPVDFalconers appreciate their fans; I appreciate the #GoPVDFalconers; I therefore appreciate all Falconers fans!! <3

14  @omgcheckplease:  I'm nervous because I'm always nervous before hockey...but I've never seen Ransom and Holster so jittery.

15  @omgcheckplease:  But for good reason. #ECACHockey QTR Finals, here we come.

16  @omgcheckplease:  I'm excited for my day or three of visiting a special someone (<3), but I need to give this team 100% of my focus. #SamwellMensHockey

17  @omgcheckplease:  #GotYourBack

18  @omgcheckplease:  Tough loss. Thank you to everyone who made it out. #samwellhockey #ECACHockey

19  @omgcheckplease:  It's good to have someone who understands and can talk you through a loss, get you grounded for the next game. <3

20  @omgcheckplease:  Getting pump up texts from former teammates is one thing; getting texts from pros with no Samwell affiliation is another! #GoPVDFalconers

21  @omgcheckplease:  Y'all've seen Tater's instagram--I'm still not sure what all those parenthesis are supposed to mean???

22  @omgcheckplease:  Hey, y'all. Thanks so much to everyone who supported us this season! All the love in the stands and around campus means everything. <3

23  @omgcheckplease:  I'm so thankful for our seniors--our captains & our team manager--for giving us 110% of themselves. They exemplify the team motto. <3

24  @omgcheckplease:  Lots of love for Samwell hockey these last few days. Going to spend the break focusing on this team and our seniors especially.

25  @omgcheckplease:  Oh, my heart "hi b! hearing news..........(((" "thank u for jam! so good)))"

26  @omgcheckplease:  Doing some spring cleaning before I go and watch some games hosted by the national professional ice hockey league.

27  @omgcheckplease:  That Lardo and Ransom are finally organizing themselves for their birthdays their *senior* year is somehow appropriate. It's gonna be big.

28  @omgcheckplease:  I'm not even going to pretend that I retained MAX 5% of the French I learned. Y'all everyone has their talents; language is not mine.

29  @omgcheckplease:  Like, I remember some phrases & can read and understand more than I can speak? But If I had to call an ambulance in Marseille, I'd perish.

30  @omgcheckplease:  A beautiful language! I wish I were better! Oh and the pronunciation I learned is all jumbled up with Quebecois in my fool mind.

31  @omgcheckplease:  Why is it that I'm not at the Haus when the legendary Shitty Knight is back in town wreaking havoc in Samwell, MA?

32  @omgcheckplease:  oh smh group text is

33  @omgcheckplease:  Shitty: everyone knock on all the wood around you but can we give it up for JLZ & the Falcs Shitty: summer vacay we're smashed in Welltown

34  @omgcheckplease:  Lardo: I need to beat Alexei Mashkov at beer pong.

35  @omgcheckplease:  Jack: haha he's serious about that. Lardo: then why has it taken so long Lardo: time and place Shitty: yessss that's my girl

36  @omgcheckplease:  Tater is literally twice the mass of Larissa Duan.

37  @omgcheckplease:  Anyway! Back to (#) (◡‿◡) (!)

38  @omgcheckplease:  Ransom has his computer and Lardo is writing lists. They're up to something.

39  @omgcheckplease:  Nursey just texted me that he really needs "baked goods" this afternoon. I wonder why he's having a bad day?

40  @omgcheckplease:  Well! I'll be cooking for most of the day anyway! Because y'all? Jam is in **demand**

41  @omgcheckplease:  WHEW. There's something comforting about a warm kitchen full of mason jars.

42  @omgcheckplease:  The situation: A friend of a friend got hold of my aunt's jam, & now a good portion of a pro. hockey team is on a jam (or pie) waitlist.

43  @omgcheckplease:  He's got more important things to focus on at the moment, but a member of that team should be by this week to pick up the goods!

44  @omgcheckplease:  I'm being *so* vague. Y'all'll *never* guess which former Samwell hockey captain and #GoPVDFalconers star will be dropping by for jam.

45  @omgcheckplease:   And I really don't mind! I should be doing my reading for Alice, but she's getting jars too. Y'all, what's spring break FOR?

46  @omgcheckplease:  Dex just showed up, saw the chaos, and dropped his backpack in the corner. Dex: Need help? Me: Bless your heart.

47  @omgcheckplease:  Only on very rare occasions do I use that phrase with good will and a positive intent. <3 These frogs.

48  @omgcheckplease:  Nursey: He only wants your dibs. Dex: (1) Bitty's not graduating. (2) You know that people are capable of doing things for others, right?

49  @omgcheckplease:   Nursey: He only wants your jam. Dex: Dex: Bitty I wasn't going to say anything but it's my mom's birthday next week and

50  @omgcheckplease:  She's up to something.

51  @omgcheckplease:  This t-shirt might smell like cherries for the rest of its existence.

52  @omgcheckplease:  All these girls out here with majors like "engineering", "art", "cs", & "poli sci". I'm literally trying to graduate by writing a pie essay.

53  @omgcheckplease:   *A very lengthy pie essay. Unfurling the shifting roles of baked goods in specific historic eras is copious research.

54  @omgcheckplease:  Coach: How's school? Me: My GPA's at [OMITTED], meeting w/ my American Studies adviser on my thesis Coach: History? Me: Me: Pie history.

55  @omgcheckplease:  Holster: what ever happened to the better bitty's butt thing or whatever? Ransom: oh the bureau? i'm not saying we achieved goals but.

56  @omgcheckplease:  *Ahem* Though not much has changed I feel more confident in my assets. It was about bettering the bitty and not the booty all along.

57  @omgcheckplease:  Aw, well Ford sent out a lovely email to the boys. She's getting good practice in.

58  @omgcheckplease:   By lovely I mean a detailed schedule of dates for spring semester conditioning, but you get me.

59  @omgcheckplease:  I've been so focused on the making of pies & jam that I haven't noticed the STORM on the horizon. Hurricane Lardo&Rans are up to something.

60  @omgcheckplease:  They're not trying to hide anything from me, but this might have to do with the kegster they're planning. Or Lardo's birthday?

61  @omgcheckplease:  Or Rans'--their bdays are so close together. I gotta tie ribbons on a few dozen mason jars, I'll report when Holster spills the beans.

62  @omgcheckplease:  I ALMOST JUST DROPPED A JAR OF JAM.

63  @omgcheckplease:  Y'all the #EasterKegHunt, the Sunday kegster, and the birthdays are *all ONE THING*

64  @omgcheckplease:  =Group Text= Me: When were y'all going to tell me about this GIANT KEGSTER? Rans: I think we did. Lardo: p sure we did Dex: yuuuup

65  @omgcheckplease:  Chowder: u guys order the kegs in the kitchen! Holster: Bitty, kinda late, but you've been in a weird jam headspace for the last few days.

66  @omgcheckplease:  Okay, Nursey and Dex are downstairs and are going to help me out. I'm so confused.

67  @omgcheckplease:  I guess...I did make a lot of jam. It all happened so fast. These can all fit in Jack's car, right? He'd make two trips.

68  @omgcheckplease:  I'm going to bake a pie to recalibrate.

69  @omgcheckplease:  Jack: How much is there? Me: A few jars! Holster: Jack, we have the highest jam per capita in the state of Massachusetts.

70  @omgcheckplease:  Jack: It can't fit in one car? Please send a picture. Lardo: lol bring a friend Lardo:....bring tater

71  @omgcheckplease:  I've stepped out the Haus and can see the volume of jam I produced. I should have stuck to the rivers and lakes that I was used to.

72  @omgcheckplease:  New Falconers faceoffs for your AM viewing.

73  @omgcheckplease:  =On Shorts= Whiskey: Yeah. They don't look good on the average man. Tango: My legs get so hot. Whiskey: Well. Golf & basketball shorts.

74  @omgcheckplease:  Whiskey: swim trunks. I guess athletics shorts are fine. Tango: Mosquito bites when you're wearing jeans. Can never really get 'em.

75  @omgcheckplease:  Tango: when it comes to clothes, I just wear whatever and go. Whiskey: I'm taking the last pie slice.

76  @omgcheckplease:  I have no idea why I love these tadpoles so much, but I do.

77  @omgcheckplease:  Waking up to the sound of wheelbarrows and dollies thumping around downstairs. It's #KeagsterSunday.

78  @omgcheckplease:  Ah! Guess who's here and brought a friend!

79  @omgcheckplease:  Jack just sighed and looked at me. "Hey, Happy Easter. What's the jam situation?" Good morning to you too.

80  @omgcheckplease:  He actually said hi though. I'm paraphrasing. He's absolutely not ready though.

81  @omgcheckplease:  Tater: Hey, Zimmboni this not bad for uni party hauses, you know? Clean floor... Tater: [points] Wow curtain!

82  @omgcheckplease:  The Swallow moves fast, but these hockey players and these mason jars should be out of here soon.

83  @omgcheckplease:  But of course Alexei Mashkov wants a TOUR. "College! Yeah, show me everything!"

84  @omgcheckplease:  Whiskey and Tango looking very nice in suits. Jack: Hey [picks up box of jam] Whiskey: do you need help with that we can if you do but yeah

85  @omgcheckplease:  Tango:...Is Jack Zimmermann stealing Bitty's jam?

86  @omgcheckplease:  = Group Text = Nursey: whens the easter keg hunt Lardo: later Jack: hey y'all! You should drop by before Jack and Tater head out!

87  @omgcheckplease:  = Group Text = Jack: i'm on Jack's phone. Dex: The y'all sorta tipped it off.

88  @omgcheckplease:  Me: So that was *my* room, and this used to be Jack's, and down the hall are the stairs to the attic. Me: Oh hi Rans. Rans: .............T-

89  @omgcheckplease:   I think he just woke up.

90  @omgcheckplease:  Okay, we're all done here! I was about to put on a brunch for our lovely guests but *somebody* said quote: "Bits, you really don't have to."

91  @omgcheckplease:  Well, I was just *trying* to say goodbye to these young men when the door to the backyard opened. It was Lardo.

92  @omgcheckplease:  Lardo: Alexei Mashkov. Tater: [turns around slowly] Tater: ... Tater: Lardo.

93  @omgcheckplease:  Well, I'm starting brunch while Tater and Lardo sort all this out. Please don't get beer all over my clean floors.

94  @omgcheckplease:   *lunch with brunch food. Drat, it's too late for a ham. Well, we can only do our best, can't we?

95  @omgcheckplease:  Jack: where's Rans? Holster: Hiding. Holster: Didn't you guys say you were heading out like two hours ago? Jack: Yes.

96  @omgcheckplease:  I have no idea how many rounds they've played but Tater is shouting "best 7! best 7!" This food is gonna get cold.

97  @omgcheckplease:  Jack keeps asking Lardo and Tater if they want food. Instead, a shout--"Tango, bring me a plate. With food ON IT."

98  @omgcheckplease:  From the hallway. "WHAT! NO! No no no! No way!!! Best NINE!!!!!!"

99  @omgcheckplease:  Rans & Lardo made an event for a #KeagsterSunday Pre-game Kegster Hunt and and wellies are...beginning to show up. Um?

100  @omgcheckplease:  For the record, Tater's playing with water. Lardo's playing with who knows what.

101  @omgcheckplease:  Jack: Ok. Let's head out. Tater: Hey, it's fine! I mean, i'm doing better with crowd.

102  @omgcheckplease:  All right, Jack's cutting things short. ("COME ON, ZIMMERMANN!" "ZIMMBONI IT'S TIE!!!!" "No. You guys can have a rematch later.")

103  @omgcheckplease:   He's serious...

104  @omgcheckplease:  Jack went up to the attic to wish his our captain a happy birthday...And they're off. Lardo and Tater are...friends? Colleagues?

105  @omgcheckplease:  Oh my goodness. Whenever we decide to name a kegster, something strange is bound to happen. #KeagsterSunday

106  @omgcheckplease:  You're not doing college right if you're not finding easter eggs filled with miniature liquor in your backyard.

107  @omgcheckplease:  And yes, they do make mini kegs. The frolicking!

108  @omgcheckplease:  Ransom: Do you think Tater and Jack will come back? Holster: Um. Holster: Sure, bud.

109  @omgcheckplease:  The Group Text Shitty: what the fucking heck is going on in Samwell, Massachusetts.

110  @omgcheckplease:   Lardo: i was so close shits

111  @omgcheckplease:  Whiskey: It's cool how Jack just drops by whenever. That's alumni relations! Tango: ....Huh...Isn't it because he's--OW.

112  @omgcheckplease:  Dex just smacked Tango in the back of the head. It could have been a dance move. It's a kegster, who knows.

113  @omgcheckplease:  Tango: ow.........OHh! He wasn't stealing the jam! Haha, wow, I'm glad.

114  @omgcheckplease:   Ohhh, *his friend and our captain!

115  @omgcheckplease:  New conditioning sched: afternoon practice and afternoon classes mean late night baking and bad habits.

116  @omgcheckplease:  There are times when I thrive rising early? (Esp. when it means trying out new things for breakfast.) But other times...well!

117  @omgcheckplease:  Despite my team being creatures of habit, we're also college students / love sleeping in. Not natural early birds (well, most of us)!

118  @omgcheckplease:  Not sure if y'all remember, but I used to Tweet about Shitty busting in on Jack quite a bit. Those were mornings! Classic #SamwellMensHockey

119  @omgcheckplease:  Big game for the Falconers tonight...#GoPVDFalconers!

120  @omgcheckplease:  Nervous for hockey. The Falc have been looking so strong this season. Let's go, boys! #GoPVDFalconers

121  @omgcheckplease:  Chowder: !!! Is that Shitty and Lardo on the jumbotron??? Chowder: Oh, it's not. Well, I still like those people!

122  @omgcheckplease:  Pie's in the kitchen, we're in the den, laptops and textbooks and pies and hockey. Good vibes from here to Providence. #SamwellMensHockey

123  @omgcheckplease:  (I have a reading response due in two hours that I should have done over spring break, but c'est la vie. (I remember French!))

124  @omgcheckplease:  During commercial breaks, I'm wondering how this TV has managed to survive so many kegsters, even if it's been carefully stowed away.

125  @omgcheckplease:   If you remember, Shitty had his door kicked in one year--nothing's safe. But THE GAME.

126  @omgcheckplease:  Ugh.

127  @omgcheckplease:  They had a good screen on Snowy; he didn't even see the puck.

128  @omgcheckplease:  By the way, watching anything with Holster means you're watching something with Holster. "These announcers are Schooner announcers, geez."

129  @omgcheckplease:  "I'm telling you, the do more close-ups on Jack than anyone else."

130  @omgcheckplease:  "Hey, Rans, it's Tater, the love of your life. For the record, I think Alexei Mashkov thinks my name is Randy and Ransom's name is Adam."

131  @omgcheckplease:  "Their power play is killer. OH, Shitty just texted everyone that they're DEFINITELY doing more close ups on Jack. How's that not creepy?!"

132  @omgcheckplease:  1-1 !!!!!!!!!

133  @omgcheckplease:  Me: POOTS!!!!! Dex: They don't actually call him that, right? Dex: At least Jack wouldn't-- Dex: I called a guy Shitty for an entire year.

134  @omgcheckplease:  Nursey: Kent Parson's been in like 3 commercials since we turned this on.

135  @omgcheckplease:   We're all confused by this. Uncanny on a number of levels.

136  @omgcheckplease:  Down. Come on, y'all.

137  @omgcheckplease:  When it comes to my peach pies, Ransom in part

138  @omgcheckplease:  YES

139  @omgcheckplease:  Never check on a pie during play because you'll miss your FRIEND SCORING!!!!!!!

140  @omgcheckplease:  I need to see that replay 20 more times, so someone better post that online in the next 60 seconds, thanks. #GoPVDFalconers

141  @omgcheckplease:  Half of Samwell men's hockey is in the den about to watch this last period of the #GoPVDFalconers game.

142  @omgcheckplease:  No shade to Seattle, but they HAVE to lose. (Even though I think #16 for the Schooners is getting a jar of vanilla bean plum from me?)

143  @omgcheckplease:  (I have no idea. A Falc owed one gentleman who was roommates w/ another player--I just gave it all to Jack and try not to think about it)

144  @omgcheckplease:  Schooners power play. Lord.

145  @omgcheckplease:  Come on. I swear this team does better when their backs are to the wall.

146  @omgcheckplease:  PLEASE

147  @omgcheckplease:  Lardo' s stress snapchats are calming in a time like this.

148  @omgcheckplease:  Lord. Another penalty to kill. #GoPVDFalconers

149  @omgcheckplease:  !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YES!!!

150  @omgcheckplease:  TATER SHORT-HANDED AAAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

151  @omgcheckplease:  Oh my god, I'm crying. They could make it. Oh Lord.

152  @omgcheckplease:  Watching is one hundred times more stressful than being on the ice.

153  @omgcheckplease:  Lord! It's easier to tweet and listen to these boys reactions, haha!

154  @omgcheckplease:  mY HEART.

155  @omgcheckplease:  Half a dozen teams are already guaranteed a spot in the NHL playoffs. The Falconers just joined them #GoPVDFalconers #PVDFalconers #GoFalcs!

156  @omgcheckplease:  = SMH Group Text = Rans: YEAAAAAAAAAAAH Chowder: Jack!!! Dex: CONGRATS, man! Holster: JACK!!! Shitty: WE'RE GETTING DRUNK IN PROVIDENCE

157  @omgcheckplease:  = SMH Group Text = Lardo: you did it you did it you did it you did it you did it you did it you did it you did it you did it you did it you

158  @omgcheckplease:  He'll smile when he can finally check his phone. :)

159  @omgcheckplease:  The little blurb in The Daily on the Falcs!

160  @omgcheckplease:  Dear S.O., Wow! It seems as though one of my favorite vocalists/performers has released a clothing line--and my birthday is upcoming!

[sordidpassionsandlockedemotions]

Alec reached over tiredly to check his phone on seeing the date nearly tossed it across the room with surprise. Could feel that need for caffeine,or to use the bathroom but just blinked till his phone screen went black. Hearing Magnus wake then set the phone down rolling over to face him. 

“Morning Magnus.” 

“Morning Alexander,though didn’t you make a rule that you got to sleep in today.” 

Propping up on his arm giving a facial shrug that got that grin from his boyfriend in return. “Did I say that,huh whatever my body wants to be up more specifically I should go use the bathroom.” Seeing him stop leaning close running a hand through that messed up bed hair instead. 

“Then go use the bathroom,Alexander.” Capturing Magnus’ lips in what was only a sloppy kiss before rolling out of the bed. Few minutes later glancing at himself in the mirror seemed the same,and his boyfriend was not exactly ‘so it’s your birthday’ maybe entirely unaware. If only that sentiment carried across the board,then he would be able to ignore it.

They went about their morning routine,slowly then Alec was sat on the counter watching his boyfriend cook. “So I have work today,what about you?” Leaning back on the palms of his hands swinging his legs some feet hitting against the counter underneath him. 

“Clients,this or that though my night’s probably empty maybe go visit Caterina.” He gave a nod head tilting a moment before going back to normal honestly sounded like that was that. Great no surprise bday plans or anything to hint even was noticed. 

“Cool say hey to Madzie from me if you do go.” 

It was later that evening somehow even his siblings,mother didn’t mention his birthday once. However the passing person through his office did,or sneered as he walked by whichever they wished. Snuck away to his room playing video games when Max randomly burst into the room. 

“Hey Max what’s up?” His little brother stared at the video game pause screen than back at his older brother. Wondering if he was hiding from Izzy or something it tended to happen. Or here to ask for candy something of that nature generally was the case. 

“Izzy’s trying to cook,and Jace left to flirt with some girl mom’s busy so like could you get her to stop?” 

Shaking his head Alec saved the game before turning all the systems off. He stood up before stretching following his little brother through the hallways to the kitchen. Honestly leave it to Izzy be the one to try cooking when knows better,but he never got all that mad over it. 

Then Max was gone far ahead of him rolling his eyes pulled out his phone checking texts when got to the kitchen about to let out the ‘Izzy back away from the food’ line when there was a very loud surprise of several voices. Nearly dropping his phone yeah okay nobody had forgot. 

The feelings he’d been ignoring sky rocketed but kept his composure till saw his best friend Aline. Immediately going towards her hugging okay yeah could have gone for his mom,siblings,or Magnus but she he rarely saw.  Wondering how they got her from Alicante for this small party? 

“Aline please tell me you’re not just here for a few hours.” She gave a grin before jabbing him playfully with a look that was the answer. 

“Till tomorrow night,but don’t get a big head I have plans following this party.” An eye roll then he focused on everybody. Had a feeling her ‘plans’ involved that secret in which case question her later like the best friend he was. Then torment her because of course he would. 

“Right thanks everybody for this.” 

Night long past he was about to fall asleep with Magnus when his boyfriend decided to talk,”You alright Alec seem not so enthused today even now.” Alec rubbed his eyes so of course it had been noticed by him,made sense. 

“Just not a big birthday person,it all was nice and I am stealing Aline all day tomorrow for time together for sure.” Laying on his back shifting eyes watching the ceiling blank but could pretend otherwise. “If the rain check on my day off,with you’s okay being spent bothering my best friend.” 

Eyes glancing over at his boyfriend relaxing again when not another word was mentioned. He just nodded at the explanation Alec figured would be mentioned another time,probably the following night. “Of course,Alexander though real question best friend you hardly mention.” 

“Never any need,been friends since childhood ran rampant in Alicante at times we didn’t end up dragged to meetings.” Thinking what else to say,”One of the few who knew I was gay,more so than Izzy because much love my sister she’s a nuisance at times.” Giving a slight smile,”That’s the basics good friend put up with me,as soon heard I was officially dating you was overly kind in multiple messages not counting she knew about my liking you shortly after I did before Izzy as well.” 

Magnus gave a smile snuggling up to Alec,”Well she seemed nice,especially when we talked about girls.” Coughing Alec must have been kind of red in the face cause his boyfriend began laughing. “She told me which can tell how dedicated you are to her secret,she was of your own too.” Feeling a ringed hand run through his hair relaxed again. “Have to admit can see why you have your close circle,with a friend like that really hard to beat.”
