HI HI OMG AJNSOAK XOXO forrrrrr reki and Miya pls!! (Platonic obviously :)) TYYYY OMG SHDNSK
HI HELLO WHAT'S UP KERKJKREJK This is super cute! I've gotcha covered, anon! :D
XOXO- "Hey, do you like raspberries?"
“Mmm~ Want some?” Reki offered a bag of fruit gummies to Miya, making the smaller kid look up.
“Got any green apples?” He peeked inside, scrunching his nose at the overwhelming amount of orange ones. “Ew, orange. No thanks.”
“What? What’s wrong with orange?” Reki asked, surprised. He had yet to know anyone who didn’t like orange flavored candy- even Cherry liked them, and he wasn’t that into sweets.
“Orange is so gross! It tastes like glue.” Miya shook his head as Reki popped an orange candy in his mouth. “Of course slime like you would have garbage tastes.”
“Oh? Do I now?” Reki tossed his gummies on his skateboard before grabbing the smaller skater, pulling him into his lap. “Says the guy who hates orange candy! What’s your favorite, huh? I bet you like grape.” He started gently tickling Miya’s ribs, laughing when said boy started squirming. “You probably love grape!”
“Gehahahhahahape suuhuhuhucks toohohohohhooho! Geahhahahaha, stahhahap it slihihihihime!” Miya squeaked, trying to elbow the other away. “Geheheheht ohohohohohff!”
“No way! First you insult my two favorite flavors, and then you insist on calling me slime! The audacity!” Reki mock gasped, one hand tickling Miya’s belly while the other moved to his knee. “Okay, picky eater- what about blueberry?”
“Ahehahhahahahha! Nohohohoohohohooho!”
“No to blueberries or no to tickling you?” Reki teased, a new idea coming to mind. “Oh, I know! Miya- do you like raspberries?”
“Thahahaht’s not ehehhehven a guhuhuhmmy-AHHAAHHA NOHOHOOHOHO!” The brunette all but squealed when Reki blew a massive one against the back of his neck, his hands working the hem of his hoodie for their next spot. “REHEHEHHEHEKI STHAHAHHAP IHIHIHIHIT!”
“Aww, are you too ticklish?” Reki cooed, easily maneuvering Miya so he was lying sideways in his lap. “Take back what you said about orange flavored gummies and I’ll let you go!”
“Nehehehhehhhever!” Miya declared stubbornly. Reki all but grinned.
“Your funeral, kid.” He winked before diving his head down, blowing another massive raspberry in the center of Miya’s stomach. The younger boy shrieked, yanking on Reki’s hair as he kicked his feet helplessly.
“OHOOHOHOKAY OHOOHOHOKAY YOHOOHOU WIHIIHIN! I TAHHAHAHKE IT BAHAHAHCK!” Miya cried after the second raspberry came to be. Reki cackled as he sat up, letting the other roll off his lap. “Ahehehehe…ehehehehehe…s-screhehehew you!”
“Love you too, bud.” Reki grinned, tossing another orange gummy in his mouth. He shook the bag at Miya invitingly, earning a tired eye roll.
“Ugh, fine.” Miya reached in, smiling when he found his green apple gummy. “But orange still sucks though.”
~Send me a pairing and a candy heart phrase~

fucking w him
having sx with them omg!! just headcanons of anime men having sex with you
cw/tw: all characters are of age, pet names, praising, degrading in one, kinda subby men in one, afab reader (?), mentions of overstimulating, fingering
contains characters from: jujutsu kaisen, attack on titan, tokyo revengers, haikyuu, sk8 the infinity, chainsaw man, genshin impact (I don't play genshin) some characters are mentioned multiple times
english isn't my first language, sorry for that
Tumblr media
sex with him would be surprisingly messy. he's all about being clean until you're under him looking oh so pretty. he just can't resist you! will def praise you. once he gets in the mood you two will really make a huge mess. when he's in between your legs eating you out, his whole face will be wet with your juices. he's smudging the wetness all over your inner thighs, I swear he's not doing it on purpose! and when he's inside of you, he's kissing and sucking all over your body and you'll be dripping with how wet you are. he'll make you cum before him and when he cums, oh, he cums a lot! will take a warm bath with you afterwards.
levi ackerman, sakusa ,
sex with him would be, well.. your ears will be BLESSED with how this man is moaning and whimpering. he's just so touch starved and you feel too good around him! as soon as you touch him (or he touches you) he'll be moaning. lets out a whiny, airy whimper when he slides his dick inside of you. soft moans and whimpers will leave his lips as he starts moving. when he's close to cumming and when he cums, the loud, whiny whimpers and moans he lets out want you to immediately go for round two. and who is he to say no? he loves being inside of you. and PLEASE reassure him of how much you love him, plse, he needs it
kazutora, junpei, shinichiro, asahi azumane, reiner, mikey, angry (souya), scaramouche, chifuyu, aki, reki, yamaguchi, itto,
slow, soft sex. having sex with him would be enjoyable, heaven really. just, you'll feel amazing. he will praise you SO MUCH. his hands will be roaming on your sides as he fucks into you. makes you cum at least twice before he can even think about making making himself cum. doesn't moan a lot, maybe a few low groans and grunts here and there, and a soft moan as he cums. otherwise he won't be loud, mostly only praises leaving his mouth. loves kissing you as he cums, his lips WILL be on yours when he cums. will tell you how much he loves you!!
nanami, draken, daichi, erwin, aki hayakawa, sugawara, ushijima, mitsuya, cherry, zhongli, kazuha, inumaki,
how do I describe this. he loves you so much and definitely tells you that during sex. also wants to show that he loves you. he will praise you so much as he slides in and out of you. he will make you cum multiple times and will kiss you so much. wants to make you feel good and really does, but it can be a bit much sometimes as he doesn't get tired fast and just loves fucking you. overstimulation might be usual with him but he'll give amazing aftercare. his moans get louder and more breathy as he gets closer.
yuuji, reki, nishinoya, tanaka, eren, jean, denji, hinata, takemichi, atsumu, bokuto, baji, rindou,
shy fucker, but once the shyness goes away.. woah. def a big dick guy but doesn't really get it, hasn't had any past experience and you're the first one to see his dick anyways! he's shy at first, blushing at everything, really shy to touch you. you have to guide his hand to your core and reassure that you want him to touch you before he starts losing the shyness. will always stretch you out with his fingers before slowly sliding into you. moans. please tell him he makes you feel good and he'll lose it, that's when all the shyness is gone! he'll fuck you like he's in charge but will whimper and beg for you to let him cum even when you haven't told him to ask you. since he's big it might be a bit much sometimes but HIS AFTERCARE. his aftercare is so amazing. he'll always make you feel safe and appreciated.
megumi, kageyama, junpei, armin, albedo, xiao,
not a shy fucker. definitely not. he knows he can make you feel good and oh my gosh, will he tell you about it. loves teasing you, but will also be praising you. "feels good, yeah? I know, angel. you're doing so good." loves being inside of you, will def tell you that too. he's switch, probably doms more but you'll get to dom him too! he'll be moaning a bit but when you take the control he'll be a mess. moans, whimpers, groans, begs, you name it, he probably does it.
gojo, osamu, oikawa, geto, suna, itto, ran, hanma, kuroo, tsukishima,
no! I wouldn't recommend getting in his bed. having sex with him would be... interesting to say at least. he will ram into you with no mercy, definitely overstimulates. you won't be able to walk for the next week, maybe even more. he also degrades a lot. and not the sexy kind of degrading, will literally be insulting you. he is a bit vocal, mostly just the degrading but low grunts and gasps might leave his mouth aswell. aftercare? will probs just get you a wet towel and leave. bad guys. bad bad guys. maybe I'm just a hater and they don't actually do this so here's a better hc for the people who love these guys:
if I were to headcanon them differently, they still would degrade you but it would sometimes be mixed with a bit of praising too. would enjoy fucking you, a lot, really, and would also tell you that. aftercare would be a bit more (should I do aftercare hc's as a different post?).
toji, mahito, sukuna, taiju,
MASTERLIST I hate this piece because of my writing but hope yall enjoy!

“Being Apart of The Sk8 Crew„
Just rewatched Sk8 the infinity and now I wish I had friends so ! Gn reader
Joe | “I wanna marry your abs!”
Y’all would meet your first time at S
Obviously you’d be amazed by his skating and even if u don’t like men he’s hot as hell bro don’t lie
One of two things happens
You A. Run up to him and ask abt his skating techniques and such
Or B. He actually walks up to you to talk about your skating(only if ur good ofc💀)
He’s such a dad
If you’re younger than him he’s constantly trying to sound smart/give you wisdom
Sometimes it’s solid advice the other times it’s pure nonsense
If you like to cook/want to learn he’ll happily teach you
If not he’ll settle for a new taste tester
He would def make jokes all the time
Some genuinely funny
He expects you to laugh at all of them even if it wasn’t funny
He’d appreciate it if you didn’t cock block him like everyone else
Despite being quick to take off his shirt he’s very fashionable and takes pride in his looks obviously
If you ever needed fashion advice best go to him!
He’s a pretty laid back guy so you wouldn’t get into arguments often
Would love to skate everywhere but he’s like…got a job and responsibilities so..
Still a great dad friend to have
Honestly would care and worry over you if you got into some dumb shit so don’t do anything stupid and he won’t worry
Joe for the win🗣️‼️
Cherry/Kaoru | A.I. Advancement
You’d meet when he paid a visit to Joe’s restaurant
Ofc you knew of him bc he’s popular but you never MET Kaoru
You def walked in on their date arguing
It was so awkward u were jus like:🧍‍♂️
“Is this a bad time time to visit you?”
“Hey! Kaoru this is [ ], the kid I was talking about.”
“What a peculiar child to willingly hang around you.”
“Whatever you say, Pinky.”
He’s kinda weird with his whole AI stuff but other than that a great friend
Makes snarky comments with you
Unless ur too nice to make snide remarks
Constantly complains abt the angle of your turns
Unironically would show up at your parent teacher conferences(if you’re still in the lower schooling ofc)
Would never admit it but he loves each of his friends and would be genuinely concerned if anything happened
Shadow | Petty Clown
Oh when y’all met you wanted to throw hands
I imagine something similar to his introduction with Reki
Bro straight up threw an explosive in your face???(smoke bomb maybe but still)
He may be petty but you’re pettier(is that even a word?💀)
You found out he worked at a flower shop bc lets be FR he doesn’t look much different outside of S
Lil arguments here lil threats there and you leave with a nice assortment of flowers
Bro side eyes you EVERYTIME y’all cross paths at S😭
After the whole gang is assembled y’all no longer act this way towards one another
Bros the only responsible adult of this group
He def did your makeup once and you broke out the next day💀
“Are you sure you know what you’re doin’?”
“Trust me, kid.”
“I don’t know why but I don’t.”
You try and help him with his relationship endeavors but it never works out😭
He’ll go to the gym with you if you don’t wanna go alone
Gym bros‼️🗣️
Miya | Catty Child
This fucker
Y’all are quite the duo
Annoying ass mfs whenever and wherever you go
If you have any sort of pet it’s his pet now
Bros the animal whisperer
He’d have to be interested in your skating for y’all to become friends
So pretend ur decent or even amazing; however big ur delusion allows itself to be🫡
He’s smart but would invite you somewhere under the premise of studying just to goof around
If he needs a second player for his game bro is gonna drag your ass so y’all can play
Goes shopping with you just to complain about how everything is ugly in the stores
“That’s not cute, who thought selling this was a good idea?”
“Bitch—if you’re going to be negative the whole time go home‼️”
Reki | Redheaded Menace
If you thought you + Miya was a devious duo just imagine you and Reki
Y’all would prob meet second after you and Joe met
Bc he works at a skate shop
And you need skating stuff(you can tell I’m not a skater💀)
If you’re just a good skater and don’t know actual science and shit behind it he’s constantly telling you about it like you care
You guys cruise around together for fun
He made your current board and you’ll never get another one that’s not from him
You teach him any and all tricks/skills you know
Probably took you to his house to give you your current board bc he was working on it in his house and you met all of his family
His mom is just happy he’s got some friends
You become besties with his mom
She gossips abt news and celebrities with you
Claims ur like her other child(forget the rest of them👺)
Makes you lunch bc she’s nice like that
You let him ramble abt stuff he’s interested in even if you aren’t listening fully
Would silently beg you to stay back with him during the hot spring scavenge bc he’s scared
Forces you to watch horror movies with him bc he gets scared and needs someone else with him
Bro would be elated the whole day if you called him cool
Snow/Langa | Canadian Curiosity
Omg he’s Canadian?😦 Seize him!
Obviously being involved with S you would’ve heard of Snow but Reki would’ve introduced y’all before the big news
Bro would shove him in your face as if he’s a shiny trophy(at the beginning ofc)
“This is Langa! New guy from my class apparently he’s interested in skating.”
“Sick—he’s so pale.”
“He’s from Canada.”
“Oh.”
Bro is so oblivious it’s crazy
You gotta like SPELL IT OUT for him if you’re ever alluding to smth
Langa stays hungry and would go out to eat with you anytime
You and Reki would def help him decorate his room bc it’s…bland
It’s not bad but there’s no personality
He tells you abt his favourite dishes back in Canada and y’all try and locate any places in Japan that might sell smth similar
If not you guys attempt to make it yourselves at his house
His mom walks in on y’all ruining the kitchen💀
“Langa I’m…home.”
“Hey, Mom.”
“Hey Langa’s Mom!”
Bro is a skating addict and will skate whenever and wherever
Wants to race you like at least twice every week
Loser pays for dinner
You help him with his reading and writing and if you didn’t already know he’d teach you English

Remember that reddit post about the guy who keeps getting into fights with the cook at waffle house? Ok that but joecherry, as witnessed by respective apprentices Langa and Reki
Reki likes Sia la Luce. It's pretty fancy, but he has to wear a kimono during his apprenticeship anyway so he never sticks out too badly. The food is really good--he never had Italian before he started coming here--the employees are all nice people, and the atmosphere is usually pleasant. Usually. The only exception being...
"You must have lost whatever smidgen of skill you had to your oversized muscles!"
"Clearly your tastebuds need to be checked as much as your eyes, damn four-eyes!"
Reki chews slowly on his pasta as his teacher and the head chef Nanjou argue over the counter. Again. Like they do every time they eat here. There's never anything wrong with the food in his opinion, but Cherry--Kaoru-sensei in public, he's reminded him countless times--always seems to have some problem. He can't tell if this is bad flirting or what. Mostly, it's just kind of weird and disruptive.
One of the junior chefs, Langa, slides into the seat across from him, also glancing at the fight. "Um, your food isn't that bad... right?" he asks hesitantly.
Reki shakes his head wildly. "No, the food's great! Awesome, even!"
Langa sighs with relief. "I made your meal today, so thank you. I'm glad you like it."
Reki nearly chokes on his next bite, but manages to swallow it down, hopefully without being too obvious about it. It shouldn't be a big thing. Of course one of the chefs would have made his food; it doesn't have to be the head chef. But Reki has had a crush on Langa ever since he saw him the first time Cherry took him here and he can't help getting his hopes up that maybe this means something. Maybe. Possibly.
The food suddenly tastes a whole lot better now. How about that?
"Y-you're a really good cook, Langa!" Reki stammers. "Thanks for the meal!"
Before Langa can say anything else, the argument kicks up a bit and there's a choking sound. When Reki looks to the side, Cherry is trying to strangle Nanjou with the collar of his tight shirt. A few patrons actually look over this time and in the blink of an eye, they've fixed their appearance as though nothing happened.
"Man," says Reki, "they have way too much practice with that."
Langa nods. "Mm. They're childhood friends, so it makes sense."
"They're what?!"
Langa tilts his head at him. "Sakurayashiki-san hasn't told you? They grew up together."
Cherry did not tell him this. Any time he tried to ask about why they keep coming here Cherry just gave him a scary look and said Oh so you don't want me to pay for your lunch anymore? Reki values his life, wallet, and future prospects, so he stopped pestering. Eventually.
"You know, that makes sense," he says thoughtfully. "Ch--Kaoru-sensei wouldn't just fight with anyone." With no one looking at them, except for Reki and Langa, Cherry and Nanjou have gone back to their hissed argument. It's starting to look a lot more like weird flirting now. He kind of doesn't want to keep watching anymore.
Reki looks back at Langa. "Hey wait, what are you doing out here anyway? I thought you weren't allowed to be a server."
"Nanjou-san said it's okay if it's you. I'm 'better at smiling' when I'm with you." As though to prove his boss's point, Langa smiles.
Reki ducks his head, hiding his own smile behind his food.
(By the counter, the argument continues:
"Now look what you've done! Your employee is slacking to flirt with my apprentice!"
"How is that my fault? Is your AI heart too mechanical to appreciate young love?"
"Not when they're on the clock!"
"And what do you think we're doing right now?")

Reki and langa with a s/o who’s a cuddly person and always wants to be holding their hand/arm or playing with their hands/hair (pretty much just a clingy s/o) thank you
Affectionate s/o
Just you being clingy & how they would react.
A/n: Nowadays i realized that im touch starved and this anon hit the spot 😕😐 anyways hope you like this. Sorry i posted this 3 days late btw, my orientation is really killing me. The campus is so much bigger than i thought and travelling time is way too long 😅
Tumblr media
Reki Kyan
When you guys started dating he had known a little that you’re affectionate
He had observed you and he would see small interactions such as you holding onto your friends arm or sleeve
However..
When it became official, he wasn’t expecting to be bombarded with your ministrations
A stuttering mess and a blushing fool was what he was
He didn’t think that you’d want to immediately have physical contact with him and he’d thought he had to slowly ease into it
It’s hard to understand him when he’s speaking with a quivering voice 💀
I’m sorry but sweaty palms
(Nothing against people with sweaty palms or anything)
Just be prepared to wipe your hand after holding his because this is the first time he’s been this close to a girl
If anyone remembers the episode where they were on the ferry and reki wanted to approach the girl in white
From my deduction skills as a literature student i hc that he still has “awkward flirting” with you
Won’t go into detail bc I might get second hand embarrassment
Now when you play with his hair..
He’s like putty in your hands
malleable
I can totally see him get sleepy when you play with his hair
Pretend you don’t see it though
He will get super embarrassed
At this point he should just paint himself red
Cuddling is something he wants to do but is really too shy right now :(
Tumblr media
Langa Hasegawa
I don’t think he minds it
He’s used to getting tackled into hugs by his mom so one more person wouldn’t be a problem
Either welcomes it or initiates it
You’d be walking to school together and he’d be like
“Can i hold your hand? (´∀`)”
I have a strong feeling that when you hold hands,
He always turns to you to give you an award winning smile
Then gives your hand a squeeze
Maybe not blush but its like dusted on his cheeks
Prefers to interlock your hands together instead of you holding his arms
He’s also a person that likes to fiddle with your fingers
When he’s thinking he’ll be playing with your fingers
Or when your walking together and he’s mindlessly playing around
Will hum if you play with his hair
But i can see him prefer you to massage his skull
Or braid his hair
He doesn’t mind
Doesn’t even care if you give him crazy pigtails
As long as you’re playing with his hair
Will also want to return the favour
Not very well done let me say
It’s not that he does it on purpose but it’s because he doesn’t play around with his hair
Often enough you’ll see him twirling a strand of your hair around his fingers
He likes the soft feeling of your hair round his fingers
Definitely a hugger
Compared to reki he’s not as shy to cuddle with you
But would like it if he was the big spoon
He likes to feel you in his arms and him enveloping your frame
Falls sleep immediately after cuddling with you 🫣

He loves your creativity and the way you express yourself through fashion
You don’t even have just one style either, you constantly switch and you look good no matter what you have on
He absolutely loves seeing the outfits you come up with
Sometimes he asks you to chose his outfits so he can look good too B)
If there’s anything special going on and he can’t wear his usual hoodie w/ jeans, he’s immediately going to you
You know how to hook him up 😮‍💨
He always takes photos of you bc he wants to cherish every badass fit you have on
He’s always praising you and he brags about you to everyone
“Oh yeah? Well can your significant other actually dress and look good in everything?”
He’s your #1 fan
Have a social media where you post your outfits? Oh god, it’s over
You’re going to have a spam of notifications just from him alone commenting on/liking your posts
He lowkey made a fanpage of you and posts videos/photos he takes of you 🤦🏾‍♂️
Mf started a whole fanbase n everything
Tumblr media
Langa Hasegawa
He’s so proud to have you as a s/o
You’re just so..attractive
And he’s just so..meh 😃 (in his opinion)
Y’all both are the power couple
He’s naturally pretty and you’re so attractive and have good style
You decide to pick out matching outfits for y’all? It’s all over
Everyone stops and stares bc y’all are so damn attractive and fit together perfectly
Y’all run a social media page together where you post pics with the two of y’all and every single post goes v i r a l

When you post something on social media, Reki and Langa compete to see who can comment quicker 💀
Your notifs are just FILLED with Reki and Langa hyping you up
But they both do it differently
Reki is the type to use all caps and a whole bunch of emojis
“YESSS SLAYYY 🫶🏽🫶🏽”
“THATS MY BABY RIGHT THERE ❤️❤️”
Langa is more chill with it, and compliments you
“You look amazing :))”
“I love your outfit, like always ❤️”
The two of them collectively make a fanpage of you and post photos/videos they take of you
People legitimately got concerned cuz they began to think that you had a stalker 💀
When the three of you go out with matching outfits? The public is done for
Y’all are so powerful together
Reki is cute, Langa is pretty, and you’re hot and confident
All three of y’all go together so well and everyone is like “DAAAAAMN 👀”

Dunno if you watched SK8 the Infinity, but one important conflict is literally the protagonist Reki becoming extremly insecure and unmotivated in skating after seeing how his new friend Langa (a snowboarder) who has barely started skating is a prodigy and so much better at it than him, who has been skating since he was a child.
Langa is naturally talented at skating while Reki works hard and still cannot measure up to someone who just started, which makes him consider quit skating altogether and leads him to distance himself from Langa because of insecurity and jealousy.
Those type of scenarios just pull at the heartstrings, you know?? Like there is nothing worse than working hard and still feeling inferior to the people around you, which DOES make for juicy angsty scenarios :)(
No but literally those are the kinds of plots where you kinda immerse yourself in the grief and it can be empowering to see your underdog recover, but also GOD is that shit so depressing and hits close to home, for real the kind of plots I soak up and throw pity parties for myself for lol
You know I've been pretty open about it but like, every so often I get compliments on my writing that are very sweet, but ultimately I do have to acknowledge like 😅 I AM basically a self taught high school drop out. So especially when I personally start writing about these sorts of stories "lol what if Reader is a depressed fucking loser absolutely struggling through the mediocre machinations of life and has Strong Hot Person come save them" like. You know where that's coming from lmao 😂 extremely unsettle but I figure what I write is usually relatable enough that it's like why the fuck not be a little personal sometimes
God though I had initially considered that when I was talking about like the Spiderverse You vs YouTwo ideas, initially considered making YouTwo drastically superior to you, but the route I've decided on is, you're on equal footing and there are certain things you each do better than the other but, seeing them be better than you at anything is salt in your wounds since you're feeling replaced.
I also like obviously have mentioned it several times but like. Living with Damian Wayne specifically would be absolute awful for this scenario, especially if you make your yandere mean or whatever. Like you could be minding your own goddamn business doing your favorite hobby and have this snot nosed fucking 10 year old (this one, the nasty one, before he gets tamed down, potentially by you?) and he's just like "that's not how you're supposed to do it" and physically takes it out of your hands, does it for you, and explains to you what you were doing wrong the entire time
Like imagine platonic yandere Damian who can't communicate his feelings for shit and is still deep in his Little Hellion Phase so you think he's just constantly insulting you and trying to show how much better and smarter than you he is when in reality he's just like. Very Poorly being like, "oh, a chance to show my sibling how cool and smart I am, and then I can teach them and they'll like me :) and they like to learn new things so I should teach them as much as I know and they can feel smart too :)" and on your end you're thinking he's an egotistical MEAN little kid who's making you extremely insecure and feel worthless and stupid and maybe sometimes often he's, not always using the best language with you because he wasn't really raised with kindness. "Why would you think THAT'S how you do it?" With a tone like youre a fucking idiot, "I don't understand what you're not seeing, I've been doing this for years and I'm an actual child"
like genuinely it's all of those "someone else one upping you" ideas but WORSE because you can't leave this fucking house and he's TEN. Youve got a fucking TEN YEAR OLD physically and mentally one upping you CONSTANTLY with the mental abilities of like a fucking adult man. I feel like the entire family being trained in violence, you'd think they would understand having like a physical fight and have probably had many themselves, but the second YOU lose your temper and put a hand on any of THEM, SACRILEGE. Damian couldve been saying the cuntiest things to your face and the SECOND you swing on him, just absolutely lose your shit, suckerpunch that brat in his face, give him a literal black eye that he didn't block because he didn't expect his beloved sibling to hit him, Bruce is UP YOUR ASS about, "you know better than this! That's your brother!!" like straight up, I think messing with one of the Robins or members of his family is the fastest way to have yandere Bruce lose patience with you and do something less loving. Takes away privileges, grounds you, makes you do labor around the house or labor for him in the cave or Damian, forces you to apologize and also acknowledge "that my brother just wanted what was best for me 🙄"
He's the kind of overbearing calculating shit where he waits until everyone is at the family dinner table and he casually pauses in between spoonfuls of soup, "so I see sister has been sneaking out of the house. You didn't do a very good job of washing the cigarette smoke out of your jacket" ousting you in a double whammy combo for sneaking out without permission AND smoking, and of course you're responding something like "you little PRICK!!" and now Bruce is standing up, jabbing a finger towards the stairs as he demands you go to your room with the unspoken threat that's he's coming up there to speak to you about this after everyone eats
Like legit living in that house would be a nightmare because everyone is gifted and everyone's doing somersaulting backflips and it's like. Lmao my knees pop when I stand up :) you're all like insanely gifted in your fields and I'm like. Normal. Some would say a simple minded burnout, even. Like. Lmao. Imagine a scenario where you're still independent and doing your own thing bur Bruce is, you know yandere mode and keeping tabs on you, and he's constantly trying to like, nudge you towards better opportunities. You're in costume on a rooftop and suddenly he's asking you about your schooling. You're working a shitty day job and one day the in universe equivalent sends you am email "based on your qualifications, this employer is interested in your resume" and its a super well paying WayneTech job that you. Turn down because you'd either fail the drug test and don't think you're good enough lmao. Bruce just tearing his hair out as he decides "ok fine I'll make your life better by force" and just starts buying your apartment building and where you work or some shit so he can improve your quality of life from the outside

Can I ask, who are your top favorite romantic couples (can be canon or non canon) of all time from any media? Why you love them? Thx :D
here i go with another grand list that i was very happy to write! i’m in love with these asks, really. i’ll mention all of them, but at first i was in doubt if i could include one that isn’t ‘canon’, but rather rpf. either way, i added bonus couples for good reasoning! let’s go.
Tumblr media
1. wangxian (lan wangji x wei wuxian), from mo dao zu shi — they are THE moment, they are THE couple, they are THE goals. who ever could have imagined someone would come up and write a troublemaker who falls into demonic arts and gets reincarnated to fight together with a sucker-for-rules expressionless man and make it work? they fit into any au as well, this fandom rocks. my lovely cultivators!
Tumblr media
2. kagehina (kageyama tobio x hinata shouyou), from haikyuu!! — i dont even play volleyball. i dont even like sports! why do i love this anime and this duo specifically so much? they are so passionate about their hobbies, the rivalry and frenemy relationship? the POTENTIAL. the STORY they have. the "someone better will come and find you" promise. sheer beauty. they are silly and fresh and cute and i dont think i'll ever get tired of it.
Tumblr media
3. yizhan (wang yibo x xiao zhan), from the untamed cast rpf — i know all the problematics about writing real person fiction. i KNOW, okay?? but people, let me like them and support them in peace?? 😔 i have so much love for these men, and its overall hella fun following their life unfold, even if they are not working together anymore. nonetheless, they are my dose of serotonin when i need it.
Tumblr media
4. daiharu (kambe daisuke x katou haru), from fugou keiji: balance unlimited — i will not scream for a seson 2 here. i will scream for more FICS of them here! there ain't enough! its not even about the 'sugar daddy' appeal, its more about the 'partners in (solving) crime' appeal. oh and also the 'i hate you you arrogant prick but i WILL do anything for you' part. everything and every detail of this show.... seriously though: gold.
Tumblr media
5. hilson (gregory house x james wilson), from house m.d — oh, my sweet stupid and repressed doctors, i would do unspeakable things for you. wilson has been through every hard moment of house's life. you can name them, he's been there. through every ridiculous situation of his too. it is overwhelming, honestly. the ending couldn't have been more reasonable and fitting for them, in my opinion.
Tumblr media
6. hannigram (hannibal lecter x will graham), from hannibal — this gif alone of them with scratches and smiling conspiratorily to each other sums up their entire dynamic. they're toxic and no one's doing it like them. like, yeah, no shit, who would even dare, right? murder husbands can do anything and eat the rude as much as they want, i will be sipping on my drink and watching intently. (man truly looked at this detective he framed for murder and said he would remember their moment together forever??? just dont throw him in jail then???)
Tumblr media
7. shiguang (lu guang x cheng xiaoshi), from link click — these pretty boys traveling through time invented the concept of yearning, and i will not explain more to not give season 2 spoilers. i fell in love with them as soon as i saw the first shot of the anime. it doesnt help that they have the same dynamic as wangxian, too. cheng xiaoshi, my beloved, you would never do anything to harm anyone (not purposefully) and i (as well as lu guang) worship you 🙏
Tumblr media
8. renga (hasegawa langa x kyan reki), from sk8: the infinity — let's be true tho, can they never do a sports anime without pulling up homosexuals?? not that im complaining at all. please continue, in fact. every couple in this story is valid (adam does not exist), and i love this spirited, young concept of redescovering the beauty of a hobbie. lovely, all of them, but most specially my langa and his admiration for reki. their dynamic has no complications, its just so sweet.
Tumblr media
9. moshang (mobei jun x shang qinghua), from the scum villain self-saving system — i will not share a pic of moshang official art because i find shang qinghua appearence too much childlike and annoying, meanwhile i find him much more interesting in the book and fanarts. in any case, i love this couple more than the main couple simply because our airplane-bro can make everything so hilarious. there are fics of them out there which are peak entertainment (check this one!). mobei's tsundere attitude and shang qinghua's shamelessness are a great combo.
Tumblr media
10. hualing (hua cheng x xie lian), from heaven official’s blessing — the longing is unbearable. hua cheng loves this man so much, for real. waiting 800 fucking years?? being his most devoted believer? can you believe the audacity?? my man, though he has low self-steem, does anything to protect his god. he doesnt care about any realm. he only cares for xie lian, his dear god. they are the cutest couple.
Tumblr media
bonus: aziracrow, johnlock, tododeku, victuuri, blackbonnet, mafuyama, redblue (from this is how you lose the time war).
these are my favorite ships ever! they are what i scream about alternatively, and when i say so, i'm not joking. one week i'm freaking out over new link click content and in the other one i'm reviewing house m.d episodes. my life's a circle with my favorite ships in it and i ain't regretting anything.
thank you for asking, by the way! big hugs! 🤍

Reki what does this mean?! (sao gameverse manga)
sao has 2 timelines; the "main" timeline of the anime and the light novel, and the gameverse timeline form, wouldn't you know it, the games
there's a lot of overlap between the 2, but there's some key differences, and as far as i can tell both are considered canon in their own right
(spoilers under the cut)
now one of the most important differences is of course that eugeo doesn't die in the gameverse
which brings me to the alicization lycoris manga; set in the gameverse, considered canon within it, and written *by* reki kawahara
and mostly from eugeo's pov (lots of yujikiri moments it's great)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
so from here
and then this
Tumblr media
the core of the story seems to be pretty much about, well:
Tumblr media
eugeo surpassing kirito, taking up the mantle of "protector swordsman", and eugeo seems to be *better* at it!
and in the process kirito is well
free of that
free to be someone else, unbound by the role and its obligations, because eugeo is there now
which brings me to the LAST PANEL OF THE WHOLE MANGA
Tumblr media
let's analyse it shall we?
-the spaceships and eugeo having a physical body make sense enough with the established tech-level
-the text too checks out, this manga is about eugeo becoming a determined force of good and protection (potentially immortal too on account of being an ai)
this makes sense
but hold on
this whole manga the 2 main characters without a shred of doubt have been him, and kirito
and...
Tumblr media
^who's that?
now, sao's artstyle has a bit of a "same face"-syndrome problem at times, so *hair is important*
and this the final 2-page spread of the manga so they're not gonna have rushed it
so then, where have i seen this bangs-arrangement before?
oh right
Tumblr media
^thought it looked familiar!
in conclusion:
trans girl kirito canon in the gameverse??!!!

if you ever have the time, I’ve always personally felt that the “energy” fixation in witchcraft circles is very… new age? I mean, you never see medieval people going “let us use the energy of the moon”, essentially treating humans as conductors for this “energy”. Energy working too feels like rebranded reki, but feel free to let me know if I’m wrong. Thank you for everything you do!
People have believed that some kind of vital force or essence could be transferred from one body to another since forever. A very notable example of this belief is recorded in the Gospel of Luke, where a woman touches Jesus's garment and immediately receives healing for a chronic condition. Very notably it's not merely her faith that healed her, because in this narrative Jesus basically says that he felt power leave his body. In this story, Jesus sorta acts a battery of miraculous power. Also within Christianity, there's the whole idea of laying on hands to bestow the Holy Spirit or healing upon people.
We also see the concept of vital essence transfer in most vampire-type creatures in folklore. These beings feed on the vital essence or life force of the living, often killing them if this process isn't stopped.
(These aren't the only examples of vital essence transfer; they're just a couple that came to mind.)
In the modern era, scientific research into electricity had a huge impact on how people in general viewed magic and miracles, which led to the development of energy work as we know it today. While it's definitely a huge part of New Age belief and practice, it's not exclusively New Age. Also, reiki itself emerged during this time period; pretty much all of the reiki websites I can find say that its creator began practicing and teaching reiki in the 1920's.
So yeah, the energy paradigm as most of us know it is modern, but it also draws from extremely old ideas. People who claim that pre-modern magical practices are all about energy work are wrong, but at the same time energy work wouldn't have been an extraordinarily foreign idea to many pre-modern people.

head.
you give him head!! gender neutral reader, all characters are of age
contains MANY characters (some are mentioned multiple times) so most likely got the one you're looking for, if not let me know and I'll add
nsfw under the cut
he would moan and whimper when getting head. would absolutely lose it when you first wrap your lips around the tip of his dick, almost cums then and there. whimpering nonstop from the moment you first touch his dick to the moment he cums. and even after that. like, I'm sorry but he's so touch deprived and since that area is so sensitive he'd just lose it :( poor boy, please give him lots of head!
levi, kazutora, reki, kageyama, scaramouche, aki, angry (souya), chifuyu, megumi, sugawara, armin, shinichiro, mikey, tsukishima,
would love receiving head so much he'd beg for it daily LMAOOO you're just too good at it. he'd place his hand on the back of your head and help you take all of him, will get to set the speed to his liking aswell. won't cum in your mouth unless you want to, loves releasing on your face and chest. remember to close your eyes when he's about to cum!!
ran haitani, kuroo, scaramouche, gojo, hanma, baji, jean, joe, oikawa, bokuto, atsumu,
likes giving head more than receiving it but he'd still love when you give him head. is a bit shy when getting (and giving) head. will moan for sure and probably thrust his hips upwards. you'll know when he's about to cum when his moans get louder and more breathy, will also tell you that he's about to cum. wants to give you head after this.
albedo, yuuji, langa, yamaguchi, asahi azumane, inumaki,
he loves receiving head just as much as giving it. will leak so much precum that it'll drip down your chin, moans and will definetely praise you too. he'd let out soft laugh and a breathy moan before saying something along these lines: "you're doing so good" "your mouth feels amazing" "you look so good like this". would also ask if he can give you head after you finish giving him head.
ITTO, tanaka, nishinoya, hinata, eren, denji, bokuto, rindou, kazuha,
"are you feeling okay? is it too much? we can take a break if you need to. tell me if it gets too much to handle, I know I'm pretty big." he repeats these sentences SO MUCH. just wants to make sure you're okay and it's not too much :( he's a big dick guy, obviously, and he knows it. he knows it can be hard to handle so he wants to make sure you can handle it. will caress your cheek when you suck him. he loves seeing you with his dick in your mouth btw!
nanami, draken, daichi, erwin, aki, geto, mitsuya, osamu, zhongli, xiao, cherry (sk8), kuroo,
he's in control the whole time. will degrade you, in a way that's not sexy at all. forces you to take it all in your mouth, will have his hand on the back of your head so he can push you down whenever he wants to. and trust me, he WILL cum into your mouth. has a big dick so good luck to you. your jaw will hurt after this. probs little to no aftercare. personally, I would never suck these guys off but you do you! (maybe I'm just a hater)
sukuna, toji, taiju, mahito,
softer version of the above. will give good aftercare, won't cum in your mouth if you don't want him to. will most likely degrade you but also praise you. lets you set the speed unless you want him to, he'll be glad to do so. will moan.
sanzu, happy (nahoya), hanma, atsumu (?), tartaglia/childe,
spoiler alert, I don't play genshin LMAO Idk if they're accurate, Idk if any of these are accurate but I hope you enjoyed reading these anyway

You think you know someone - KINK CONTENT
An idea that I've had for a while. The other skaters finding out how good Cherry is at burping.
The restaurant was empty except for Cherry and the other skaters, but Joe would hardly call them clients. The teenagers and Shadow had been engaged in light conversation for some time now and both Cherry and Joe were barely listening, Cherry because he found it uninteresting and Joe because he was too busy closing the restaurant, but he came to them when he was done, to kick them out and also see what they were talking about that was keeping them so entertained.
“That's gross, Slime” Miya wrinkled his nose in disgust.
“But It's cool, isn't it?”
“Maybe, if you knew how to do it” Shadow said.
“Do you, old man?” Reki challenged.
“Don't call me that! And knowing how to burp the alphabet isn't exactly a top priority at my age”
“He says, like an old man”
“I know how to burp the alphabet” Joe said suddenly, surprising everyone, they haven't even notice him. “It's not so hard. I'm done closing the store, so” he made a gestured like he was shooing a dog.
“Wait, you do? Can you teach me?” Reki looked at him full of expectation.
“Only if you guys leave after that”
“That's fine by me!”
“Ok then.” Joe sat down. He saw from the corner of his vision Cherry rolling his eyes. “It really helps if you know how to do it on command. Do you?”
“I'm working on that”
“That's fine, I can show you, it's simple, you just have to swallow some air until you feel an air bubble form in yout throat…” Joe did as described and Reki followed. After some effort, Joe let out a pretty average burp, not bad, but not too long or deep. “And then you just let it out.”
Reki tried to copy, releasing a burp so small it wasn't much better than a hiccup, but that enough for him, at least for his first time.
“Cool!”
“You’ll get better at it with some practice”
“You're as disgusting as you're pathetic. Don't go around teaching others when you don't even know what you're doing” Cherry snickered from where he was drinking his tea.
Everyone turned to Cherry, they also forgot that he was there. Joe raised an eyebrow and crossed his arms.
“Feel free to show how it's done if it bothers you so much”
Cherry scoffed.
“No, thank you, unlike you I'm not a savage.” If they were alone he would not hesitate to put that man in his place, but here, in front of everyone, he had an image to uphold. Joe would need much more than some childish provocation to get to him.
“Then don't go around complaining when you can't do better.”
“I don't have to know how to do it to criticize you, just like I don't have to know how to cook to say that your cooking sucks.”
“You can criticize, yeah, but you can't win the argument.”
“Sure I can”
“I think you’re just making excuses cause you'll never be better at burping than me. And a bunch of other things.”
Fuck the image he had to uphold.
Cherry turned silent and it took Joe a little too long to realize he was swallowing air. Then, Cherry opened his mouth and released a deep belch that did not look like it came from someone as delicate and dignified as him.
“That's how you do it” he said at the end of it, keeping direct eye contact with Joe “So I guess I win the argument”
“Yeah, but I win the war” Joe said with a satisfied smirk and that's when Cherry understood that he fell for his trap.
“Good one, Cherry!” Reki complimented, very impressed.
“I didn't expect that from you” Miya, on the other hand, was utterly shocked.
“That was loud.” Langa stated and it was hard to tell how he felt about it from his neutral tone and expression.
“You think you know people…” Shadow said more to himself in a mix of awe and shock.
“You wanted that, didn't you? Satisfied?” Cherry turned to Joe, trying to keep his composture after being defeated.
“What's wrong, don't you wanna show off your talents? Lemme tell you guys, our delicate flower here never lost a single burping contest he was on.” Joe turned to the others and pointed to Cherry, covering his mouth with his hand like he was telling a secret.
“That's so freaking awesome!” Cherry liked Reki, he did, he was a good kid, but he didn't want his approval with something like this.
“How did you learn it?” Langa asked the question his boyfriend was too excited to ask.
“I didn't really learn it, I just always knew how to do it.”
“He's a natural!” Joe raised his arms in celebration
“Shut up, you idiot. This is all your fault.”
“Oh, I'm sorry, am I supposed to cover for the guy whose idea of fun is burping in my ear?”
“I don't do that anymore!” at least not very often.
“Cherry, teach me, please, please!” Reki begged, giving the older skater one of those abandoned puppy eyes.
“No, that's beneath me. Why don't you ask Joe? I'm sure a savage like him would be glad to help you with that.”
“But you're so good, I don't think I've seen anyone as good as you! Please” Cherry wasn't sure if the boy's flattery was on purpose, but it was working.
“I can think about it”

can you genuinely, i mean so genuinely not copy a creator who's already been through and is going through rough shit? i thought you were an alt of chocoperrito's, i saw you were "heavily inspired", same style and similar intro, this is plain disrespectful and cruel to do to an artist who's already stated they're not okay with that.
i hope you can find it in your heart to at least apologize to hym.
hey , saw this and genuinely wanted to address it as my intentions are genuinely not to copy anyone , let alone cause harm . summary is all the way down under the cut ( last paragraph )
first of all , i'm sorry to hear that reki isn't doing well . i hope hy'll get better soon , but i couldn't have known he wasn't in a well mental state because i don't want to and can't interact with hys blog . i've been blocked quite a while ago , just after the first post i made on this blog . what happened will stay private as requested , but ive apologised and as far as i know , we made up . hy doesn't want to interact with me and i respect his boundaries .
talking of boundaries , i did not know hy was uncomfortable with people getting inspired by his art style . it is true that i took inspiration from hym , but to be fair all i took inspiration from was the shape of fur . my colour theory was fully taught to me by ashenoranges , round shapes have been inspired by another artist who does not want to be named , the way i draw hands along with cartoon-ish ( and also the round shapes ) by an artist on tiktok whose name i forgot ( but did a lot of utau / fell art , something along the lines of pupbiteez ) and the eyes i've just always drawn that way because i adapted it from when i just started getting into animation memes , but i tend to add tearducts too ( which i've adapted from p0ny.world ) . also , i love the chalky way calciumdreams's and yokoneko's art looks which i'm trying to work on getting into my art . i also mentioned some other artists in a previous ask about my artstyle , those artists also provide me references for when i'm trying to draw animals that stand on all fours .
asked one of my friends if they had any art of reki saved , for comparison . i guess i can see the similarities ?
Tumblr media Tumblr media
the thing is that i use several outlines and lots of rendering on top of it and use a shade between green and orange always - when reki uses one line-art layer , has highlights instead of shadows in the hair , usually a blue shade and overall has thinner line-art where parts between similar parts of clothing and / or fur gets coloured differently in line-art .
i'm not saying my and reki's styles do not look extremely similar or that he never said anything about not liking inspiration , but i did not copy ( or at least INTEND to copy ) hym , neither did i ( key word , i ) ever read he was uncomfortable with inspiration . if you would like to provide proof then i'd love to have you dm it to me /gen
my intro post had taken me quite a few months to come up with , going through a few things to get inspiration from . however , i can see why you think i copied him , especially with how i provided my links . asked a friend of mine to provide a screenshot of reki's blog to compare them after you sent this ask . to clarify - i actually got inspo for my graphic and the stars between links from a friend of mine , who used to make simple transparent background graphics and used the 𓈒 symbol in between links instead . since i'm a pretty big fan of stars , i used stars instead . went through tags to find introduction posts that i could take inspo from , which mostly used different colours , and since i usually use orange or green shades in my art ( since they're my favourite colours ) i thought i'd apply that to highlight parts i thought were important . just talked a bit about me , connected a link to my identity in case you want to get to know me better , provided a link to my toy house in case you wanted to see my characters , then talked a bit about asks because i barely really got any before . it looked a bit empty at that point , so i thought i'd largen up something , but doing that at the top of the post seemed like it went from big to small and i didn't like that . moved the links to the bottom , largened them up and that seemed pretty good . but now it was a bit empty on top of the page , so after messing around with the graphic i realised that maybe i should add something that would devide the graphic from the text - a divider . now everything looked tidy , while not being too little nor too much . a link to stuff that went more into detail ,, perfect right ? but ;
Tumblr media Tumblr media
i can totally see why you think they look familiar : same colours , same link stuff , separate part about the inbox , divider between texts and images , but i don't have access to reki's blog so i wouldn't have known . even if i did before , i wouldn't have remembered that in the past 2 months where i was much more busy with other stuff than remembering what someone else's , who didn't want to interact with me , intropost looked like .
HOWEVER ! i do acknowledge that my EMOTE art looks incredibly - extremely , almost completely identical to hys . hand shapes , eye shapes , body shapes , even the yellow body and line-art , the SHADING - all of that . i guess that comes with having similar artstyles , then also worrying about whether or not your art looks ok . i actually asked a friend of mine what i could change about my art so other people would maybe like or use it more , and they said that i only ever use harsh - thick lines , so i should keep the line-art simple and try airbrushing stuff . this is basically what reki did , and so i did use one of hys emotes from a server i'm in as a reference - i really liked the result , and posted it not thinking about how familiar they looked despite literally having his emotes and mine side by side for comparison .
Tumblr media Tumblr media
they're extremely similar , especially the little closed eyes and blush . they both have that little red eyelid bit above their eyes and shaded cheeks + hands . i admit this is my fault for not having realised earlier how i basically copied hys style , and i'll try to make it more into my own style next time . i'm unsure of how to yet , but i'll figure something out .
also , besides all that , i'm not really copying his appearances , sonas , other stuff hy might have made . the yellow guy is pretty popular after all since it doesn't have an actual appearance or anything that would relate to identity and can be interpreted as anyone . sure , there's blogs like k9emotes who make white sillies instead of yellow , but i prefer using yellow and i'm also going to use these emotes . not saying i won't change how i'll draw them , this is just a reason , but that's why my and hys emotes look so similar — they're exactly what i and my friends would like emotes to look like if we're going to use them frequently .
all of this is not an excuse but simply an explanation so i hope everything is more clear . as stupid as it may sound , the intro post was truly a coincidence . my art looks similar to hys ( but not that much ) because he was an inspiration , but not my only inspiration and definitely not my biggest but the hair / fur is something i do use the most . i deeply apologise for any harm i have done and crossing unknown boundaries , but i'm afraid i can't directly apologise to reki as he doesn't want to interact with me , boundaries are boundaries .
long story short — yes i got inspired by the fur , the intro post was purely coincidental , unconsciously took too much inspo from emotes , i apologise for what i did but can't apologise directly bc im blocked .

You Are in Love
Read it on AO3 here!
1 - You Are in Love
It’s the way Langa is crouched, the way his weight is shifted forward to his toes. It’s the way he smiles, the way his fingers fiddle with the buttons of the little pink coat. It’s the way Chihiro is standing as straight as she can, her chin tilted up. It’s the way the scene plays out, the way Langa, Langa who had always been so wary around the twins, now seems so comfortable. It’s as if he’d always been here, always been in this entrance, always helping around the Kyan household. It’s the way he fits in so well, as if he has always been a part of this family.
“Need help, Reki?”
Reki has to shake himself out of his trance, the rest of the world coming back to him. Chihiro is there, slipping her shoes on while Nanaka is waiting by the door, a grin that matches Reki’s. The sun is high, rays streaming through the glass panels of the door. The weather is perfect for a walk with the girls to the ice cream parlor; not too warm, but still not cool enough to not want ice cream. And the girls can’t wait, Nanaka already rambling away about all the ice cream flavors she wants to try.
“Well?”
A breath catches in Reki’s throat as Langa stands there, his fingers twisting around the strings of his yellow hoodie. His smile is soft, just like when he had been buttoning up Chihiro’s coat. There’s a peek of his teeth, pretty and white, between his ever so slightly parted lips. And the sunshine catches in the blue of his eyes, leaving them with a shimmer Reki’s never seen before. But there’s no time to linger on that, not when Nanaka’s fingers curl around Reki’s.
Everything goes fast from there: a sweater hastily thrown over his hoodie, the back of his shoe squashed under the weight of his heel, a wallet grabbed from the top of the show cabinet. Everything goes so fast: Nanaka and Chihiro running ahead, the path already memorized, the sound of Langa’s laughter filling the autumn air, another joke breaking up his laughter. If this is what it means to have a normal life, Reki’s ready for it. He doesn’t need the uncertainty that the past had handed him. He doesn’t need any of that, not when he can have this.
“Really, Reki, we can stop for a second to let you put your shoes on properly.”
“It’s fine, man. Anyway, the twins would kill me if I made them wait any longer.”
Langa shrugs before turning away from Reki. He looks ahead, hands in his pockets as he kicks a stone along the road. He looks older like that, his eyes riveted on the two girls ahead of them. He looks older like this, reminding them to not run too far head and to stay together. He looks older; his hair has grown a little, almost brushing his shoulders now, and his jaw seems sharper than it had before. His bare arms, they seem stronger, a little more toned. Maybe it’s from all the lifting they’ve been doing at work, from all those boxes that need to be pulled from the back to the front of the shop. Reki isn’t sure why he’s noticing all of this now, noticing the curve of Langa’s nose, the scabs by his ear, the squareness of his shoulders. Reki isn’t sure why he’s noticing any of this, things that have always been there. But these observations weight heavy on Reki’s chest. They weight heavy, but he doesn’t dare say anything. He can’t break the silence, not now.
Langa’s shoulder brushes against Reki’s, drawing his attention to something other than Langa’s build. It brings him to his eyes, always bluer than the ocean on the horizon, to his nose, pointing ahead, to his lips, tugged into a smile. Then, words spill, always in that velvety voice of his.
“Look up.”
And Reki complies; he always does.
It’s there, beautiful as ever. The sun sets, slow and careful. It’s gentle as it finds its way into the water, reds and oranges and purples swirling in the waves that crash over one another. The rays are tentative, as if afraid to break something that’s new yet has always been there. The sun does as it always has; it doesn’t change and it never will, but today, it feels different. It seems slower as it falls, almost as if it were asking for the ocean’s permission, asking the water to catch it. Will the ocean catch the sun? Will it hold on to every ray, cherish the warmth they provide? Reki hopes it will; he hasn’t known a better pair than bright sunshine and gentle waters. 
The ocean is gentle as the waves intertwine with the rays of sunshine. And as Langa looks back at Reki, that smile so soft as his pinkie locks with Reki’s, Reki knows he’ll be caught. He knows this is right; nothing has been broken, not now, not ever. This is the way they were meant to find each other. This is the way the universe had set them up: strangers, friends, this. This is what Reki has always dreamed of; this is what he wants; this is what he needs.
“C’mon,” a little tug from Langa, his fingers shifting to find their home between Reki’s, “we should hurry before the twins order the entire store to go.”

2 - He Is in Love
The morning is quiet, rays of sunlight filtered through the crack to the curtains. Still, the room is dark, and it’s colder than what Reki is used to. He has to pull the blanket up to his neck rather than have it bunched up at his ankles like he’s used to. And when he rolls over, he knows why.
The bed isn’t his. The room either, even if bits of him hang on the walls and sit on the shelves. He finds pieces of himself in the space between these four walls, but it’s still not his space, at least not completely his. It’s Langa’s room, so much is obvious as he sits up in the otherwise empty bed. It’s not crowded enough to be his own; the same could be said about the air that hangs in the apartment, nothing but distant chatter ringing in Reki’s ears. It’s missing the chaos of his house, the screaming and the tumbling of siblings first thing in the morning.
It’s almost strange walking through the small apartment. Reki knows the place like the back of his hand, but it’s still so disorienting to wake up in someone else’s bed, even if it’s far from the first time it has happened. It’s like walking through the streets of a new city; it’s so similar to home, and yet, it’s nothing like it. But when he finally steps into the kitchen, when he’s hit with that smell of smoke and the sound of curses, Reki knows he’s home. He’s home, and he doesn’t want to be anywhere else.
“Shit, shit, shit.”
It’s funny to see Langa like this, picking at the toaster. Langa, who’s usually so calm and composed, he’s so far from that perfect image Reki had once had of him. Now, in the morning light of reality, Langa’s just like any other dork who can’t cook to save his life. He’s ridiculous as he curses at the toast, if it can even be called that. It’s so burnt, so scorched, that Reki wonders if there’s any bread left under that crust of char.
One thing’s for certain: he could not be paid enough to eat that monstrosity.
“Stop laughing!”
Blue eyes are wide, staring at Reki as he doubles down laughing. How can he not laugh? How can he stay serious at the face Langa is making at him? How can he ever stop laughing when he’s with Langa, the same Langa so many people misinterpreted? How can Reki ever keep his laughter to himself when he gets this Langa, Langa who isn’t a prince, Langa who isn’t distant and mysterious? How is he to not laugh and grin when he has Langa, his Langa, goofy and dorky and adorable?
“How did you manage to burn your toast in a toaster, dude?”
The bubbling laughter slowly dies down, falling to a giggle, then a chuckle, before ending in a simply grin. It’s hard to stop smiling around Langa, but thankfully, he doesn’t ask Reki to wipe the look off his face. If anything, he joins him despite biting his lip, trying his best to conceal the sheepish smile.
“I… I forgot it.”
“Did’ya space out again?”
Langa huffs, pushing the toast filled plate across the counter. It’s so strange seeing all these emotions play on Langa’s face, emotions Reki didn’t even know him capable of. They play like a movie on Langa’s face, jumping from one scene to another. Frustration, embarrassment, dejection, and something new, something strange as he gets closer to Reki.
There’s a glisten in his eyes, bluer than Reki’s ever seen them. They almost sparkle under the soft lighting of the kitchen. That look, it’s so far from that night, the one Reki wakes up gasping from. They’re so far from that night, the night Reki thought he had lost it all. Now, they have it all. Everything that had haunted Reki for weeks, it has vanished. That night, it was a lifetime ago, an age Reki barely remembers anymore. All that matters is here, it’s now.
“You look cute in that.”
It’s a surprise, the arms around Reki’s waist and the compliment to his ear. It’s not something he’s used to, especially not from Langa. Sure, he’s always been forward, but still, Reki isn’t used to this type of forward. He’s not quite used to the hugs, the flirting, the sappiness. He may get a Langa very few know of, but that doesn’t mean he doesn’t still retain the old Langa, the public Langa, the Langa that feels so unobtainable.
“Hope you like it, it’s literally your shirt.”
The chuckle is cute as Langa drops his head onto Reki’s shoulder. So, he’s given up on trying to cook; maybe they can go out for breakfast, or better yet, they can order something in. And maybe they should get something for Nanako; she shouldn’t be out for too long, not on a Sunday. But while she’s gone, well…
It’s sweet, the taste of Langa’s lips against Reki’s. Really, there isn’t much that can compare to this, to the way Langa smiles into the kisses, almost laughing into them. And with every kiss, Reki feels the butterflies erupt from their cocoons; he feels the flutter in his lungs and chest. Kisses from Langa wasn’t something Reki had ever expected, but now, he doesn’t think he can go without them.
One leads to another and another after that. They’re dizzying, leaving him lightheaded as he wraps his arms around Langa’s neck to steady himself. The world spins, fades, and leaves nothing but Langa and his sweetness. Maybe it’s the honey on his lips, or the chocolate on his tongue, but Reki’s pretty sure it’s just Langa. That’s just what Langa tastes like; sweet and addictive.
“Reki…”
His voice is low, raspy almost. Maybe he’s also breathless from the kisses, a little too caught up in the moment. Or maybe that’s just the way Langa sounds after he’s been kissed senseless; Reki isn’t proud to admit it, but stopping was a little more difficult than he had anticipated. But when Langa drops his head back into the crook of Reki’s neck, the world returns, colors other than blue reappearing around him.
“Reki, you’re my best friend, you know that, right?”
Such a statement is nothing new to Reki, but hearing it now of all times, it does something to him. He isn’t sure what it is, but he feels the pang in his chest. It’s nothing like the butterflies he had felt. It’s nothing like that. This pang, it means something else. He doesn’t feel lighter from the words, but at the same time, it’s lifts something that he hadn’t known was weighing him down.
This feeling, this reminder, it means everything to Reki. It’s everything to Reki because it means that every ghost that had once haunted him, that every insecurity that had locked into his closet, they fade. They fade because they mean nothing now. No fear can be greater than this statement. Nothing can be greater than knowing that he’s not alone. Because now, from now until the end of forever, Langa will be there. Langa will stand by him, never leaving him to face his demons alone.
The hug is automatic. There is no other possible response to the statement. There’s nothing else he can do besides holding Langa close to his chest, keep him where he wants him. A hug and a nod are all Reki can manage, and it’s enough. It’s enough for Langa to know it too. It’s enough.

3 - True Love
The skatepark is empty besides the two boards left unattended by a rail. There’s not a soul other than the two boys, legs dangling off the back of the ramp, a water bottle to their left and a carton of fries between them. They’re silent, each scrolling on their phone as they pick absent-mindedly at their food. Another Friday afternoon, just like so many others.
Or at least, it should be like every other Friday. There’s nothing different, at least, not on the surface. They’re in their spot, far from the rest of the world. It’s just them, as always, but there’s something weighing down on Reki. There’s something that lingers in the air, something that’s been choking him up all day. It’s there, he knows it, he just doesn’t know how to address it. Talking about things that aren’t skating, it’s not easy, not for Reki.
A smile tugs at the corner of his mouth as he swipes through his camera roll. Every one of them holds a memory, usually one that has to do with Langa. There’s a selfie, or two, or three, or twelve. There’s a video of Langa skating, or, once again, twelve. And there are pictures of the sunset, of a stray cat, of birds in the sky, yet they still remind him of Langa. He can hear Langa through the pictures, hear his laughter, hear his chatter, hear his breathing. Because Langa is in every one of these pictures, whether he’s visible or not. He’s in every single picture, in every memory Reki holds of the past year or so. Langa, Reki realizes, has become a staple of his life, and he wouldn’t have it any other way. Especially not when Langa’s head is dropping onto his shoulder, blue eyes pointed up at him.
“Whatcha looking at?”
“Just going through my pictures, see what I can delete.”
Reki knows he won’t be deleting anything; he doesn’t want to forget any of his moments with Langa. He wants to keep building these moments, not get rid of them. But saying that out loud, who knows what kind of waterfall of words would spill from his mouth afterwards. And he can’t risk that. Not before he’s figured out exactly how he wants to say it. These words, he can’t mess them up. They need to be perfect. So, until then, they will be silent.
The evening goes by as it always does: a few tricks here and there, a lot of laughing, a few scraped knees and palms. It’s another Friday evening, just like so many others. It’s another Friday evening, until they head home, still in silence.
“Reki, is everything alright?”
Reki hums as he readjusts his bag on his shoulders.
“You just…” Langa pauses, stopping under a streetlamp. “You haven’t talked much today. So… is everything alright?”  
Reki wants nothing more than to wipe away the worry that coats the blue of Langa’s eyes. He wants nothing more than to replace it with their usual shine, the one paired with the brightest grin Reki’s ever known. He wants nothing more than Langa’s happiness; if he could go another lifetime without ever having to worry, that would be how Reki would want it. He wants to remember Langa’s smile, memorize the curve of his lips and the creases at the corner of his eyes. None of that worrying that pulls his features in all the wrong ways.
“Don’t worry, dude. Everything’s perfect. Just been a long day, y’know?”
Langa nods, but he shows no sign of continuing his way down the road. He nods, but he expects more. He wants Reki to talk, to release whatever it is he’s holding in his heart. He wants Reki to talk, to spill, to let it all out. And even if it’s ugly, Reki knows Langa will take it. Even if it’s far from perfect, Reki knows Langa will smile, grin even, as he drinks Reki’s every syllable.
“Well, I mean…”
They hear it in the silence, the wait of Reki’s unspoken words. The silent words, they hang heavy in the air. And the more Langa stares, the more Langa waits with that beautiful look upon his face, the more Reki hesitates to say it. It won’t break them, far from that, but being the first to vocalize it, being the first to put it out there, it’s scary. It could ignite a fire, a flame that could leave a trail of beauty for Reki to memorize on Langa’s face and body, but it might also be a flame that burns the whole thing down. If he does this wrong, who knows what the future will look like for them.
Perhaps it would have been better if Reki had been a better liar, better at concealing the feelings fluttering in his heart. If he had been able to pretend there was nothing there, or pretend he didn’t expect the words to come to him first before parroting them back, maybe he wouldn’t have found himself in this situation. But if he had been better at conceal his feelings, at keeping them close to his chest rather than out for the world to see, then maybe he wouldn’t have found himself under the brightest moon, standing in front of the prettiest boy he’d ever seen. If he had been different, then maybe he wouldn’t be here today. He wouldn’t be standing in front of a boy whose eyes are filled with beauty and adoration, lacing their fingers together.
“I guess I just wanted to say…”
It’s now, or it’s never, Reki knows that. He’s started. He can’t stop.
“I’ve actually been thinking so much about this lately. Like, I can’t sleep from how much I think about it. So, like…”
Langa stares in anticipation, his shoulders caving inwards as his fingers tighten around Reki’s. He’s biting back a smile, Reki knows this. Maybe Langa’s just as bad at this as he is.
“Langa.”
He’s shaking. Or maybe it’s Langa who’s shaking. Or maybe they’re both shaking. Reki can’t tell. He doesn’t care.
“Langa, I love you.”
