PLEASE DO BLUE LOCK ICKS IM BEGGING🙏😭🌹
😏 coming right up anon. gonna channel my inner critic and not hold back on any of these.
Tumblr media
RIN
brother complex. not much else to say except that he needs to get a life. not everything is about metaphorically crushing your older brother's dreams and brooding in the dark hate of retribution.
competitive but only because he is a desperate whore for external validation. ignores everyone but craves the attention of a sole person named sae itoshi. was defeated by isagi once and has never let go of it since. has a one-track mind that is impossible to derail. stubborn when he wants to be.
probably a virgin and will continue to be one until his late 30s.
has not known a single day of peace ever since sae ditched him for the popular girlies. as a result, he has developed a very concerning case of social awkwardness. his idea of a conversation involves a brick wall and thirty minutes of you staring at his resting bitch face. constantly looks like that one grumpy cat meme. judges you for your poor decisions but then gets aggressively defensive when you point out his own mistakes.
reeks of so much teen angst that even metallica can't save him. the problem is that he has nothing to back up his emo persona. his insults lack creativity and, unfortunately for him, phrases like "lukewarm" and "half-baked" and "hell" do not make his words carry more weight. uses the f-word but in the most embarrassing context that it makes you facepalm and internally cringe.
SAE
zero social awareness. this boy's head is empty. the lights are not on up there. there are no picture frames or furniture. the curtains are drawn, and there is not a sliver of clouds or sunshine. cannot read body language and does not know what a filter is.
the source of all of rin's stress. he is the original trauma projector, creator of generational cycles. not even subtle about it. "turns out i was wrong. i thought japan was incapable of ever giving birth to decent forwards." sir....with the way you worded that, you knew exactly what you were doing when you gave rin false hope.
swears but it's even worse than his brother. literally called his elders a "fatso and bob cut duo" and "insect turd." i mean....there is a line between what is considered a legitimate burn and what is a first grader making up insults in his coloring book.
has a horrible haircut and no fashion taste. i already talked about this previously, but it was so bad it deserved a second mention.
a freak but tries to justify it rationally. like what do you mean you can tell a person's athletic ability from their buttock size? just admit you have a kinky fetish already.
somewhat of a coward but i'm gonna give him some leniency due to his tragic child genius backstory. tbh he's just an eighteen-year-old boy who needs a goddamn break.
KAISER
alexa please play clown music. this man sets himself for failure and then wallows in self-pity when he actually fails. like what did you expect? you knew what was going to happen the moment you challenged isagi like that. it was most definitely your fault you got violently humbled.
has a borderline god complex (currently calls himself an emperor but has not evolved into a deity yet.) unfortunately, he does not stand on business. cue the dramatic meltdowns when he realizes there is an actual gap between his ability and his reputation. if you're going to lie, at least make it believable.
insecure and mentally unstable. he probably cuts and re-dyes his hair every single time shit happens. no wonder his locks get shorter every time.
lazy when it comes to anything that is not football and expects others to do it for him. demands princess treatment wherever he goes. unfortunately, not all of us have servants with no self-respect like ness.
"it is not enough that i should succeed, others should fail" type of person.
does not wear shoes and even if he does, it's sandals. put them grippers away.
NAGI
a literal sloth who has so much potential but uses none of it. has no intrinsic motivation of his own, so if he's going to do anything, it has to be you behind the wheel, making sure he gets put to work.
does not have a close relationship with his parents, and so he has no sense of community, holidays, or traditions. no fun at all if you want him to do things like christmas shopping or birthday celebrations.
rots in bed all day and then has to nerve to ask you to carry him around. your back better be strong because his 190 cm body is not going to be light.
not loyal (need i say more.)
REO
second male lead syndrome. also known as that one popular guy who's always picked last.
acts like a victim but then when you realistically tell him to how to change his situation he refuses to do so. you cannot ask for advice and then take none of it to heart. no wonder you're still not over your ex.
"i can fix him" mentality. no, you can't. you are a seventeen-year-old child, not a licensed therapist and nagi isn't even all that.
NESS
touch-starved to the point he will stay in a toxic and abusive relationship in order to gain some scrap of affection. just because you were the black sheep of your family does not mean you can lose all sense of personal dignity.
probably stalks all the people he hates. has a burn book like regina george from mean girls. cuts out and glues little pictures of kaiser all over his bedroom. doodles hearts all over it with glittery gel pen. isagi's face and name are scratched out of every team photo.
delusional and prone to mood swings. medicated but at this point, he is beyond saving.
ISAGI
a home wrecker. has ruined more relationships than he can count on ten fingers yet still manages to smile like he's some angelic saint.
solves jigsaw puzzles for a living (not very cool if you ask me.)
has some unresolved anger management issues. probably repressed all his negative feelings when he was younger, so it all comes out when he's on the field. unfortunately, his twilight-sparkle-friendship-is-magic agenda is not going to work if he keeps cussing out his teammates like that. but then again, he is the main character, so i guess his plot armor makes up for his pitfalls.
says that he's a good guy but then holds personal vendettas against rivals he doesn't like. boy was so ready to throw hands when #kaisagi was trending on the internet. but when you actually think about, he's similar to kaiser in more ways than he'd like to admit.
BAROU
has the worst case of high and mighty "holier-than-thou" attitude. isagi put his ego in check, but it still peeks out from time to time.
he was the ugliest baby when he was born. i am not going to hold back on the child barou slander because it is true. no, he was not a cute and lovable bundle of joy. he looked like a demonic gremlin.
he needs to take more risks in life and try cross-dressing. simply imagining him in a maid uniform will not suffice. it needs to be made into a reality.
with how nit-picky he is, i doubt people can realistically stay within a 1-meter radius around him. unless you are a clean freak yourself, his constant complaints will start to get annoying after a time. even if he does have good intentions, he needs to let people have a little breathing room sometimes. a messy room is not going to kill you.
BACHIRA
this boy's brain is smooth. no folds. no gray matter. no intelligence either. his pencil and eraser have been left untouched since day one. if he wasn't crazily good at football, he would be unemployed and homeless in the future. not even a mcdonald's wants him.
one of those people who will do the literal opposite of whatever you say. you want him to stop talking? well, now he's never going to shut up. you tell him not to step on a pile of dog shit? well, now he's going to walk right into it. you want him to quit running around and act normal? well, now it's his life's mission to make you as annoyed as possible. please pray for your hair follicles because at the end of the day, you're not going to have many left with how much he makes you want to tear your hair out.
has the cerebral capacity of a toddler. if he thinks monsters are real, he's going to think anything is real. super gullible when it comes to any form of scam, ploy, or trickery. the only way he would not be fooled is if he's also played the same prank before.
SHIDOU
a brazen pervert. says the most out-of-pocket things and refuses to apologize for them. sometimes it comes out a little too sleazy for your liking.
"to me a goal is fertilization! a shot is the seed and the goal is the egg!! and the birth of that joy i call an explosion!! my genes are gonna knock you up!" let us give ourselves a moment of silence to digest this quote. only shidou ryusei would come up with a sperm and egg metaphor to describe football. (i guess protection means nothing to him.)
has no empathy. if you dislike him or cannot keep up with him, you're a literal nobody in his books. no sportsmanship. no compassion. no self-awareness.
you cannot say "balls" to him in a serious tone without him misinterpreting it as something dirty. that alone should tell you enough. stay the hell away from him.
where do men get the audacity? right here. from this little bastard. he invented the term "shameless slut." boy was getting off during the u-20 arc and on live TV too. no wonder sae said he was disgusting.
and finally, he comes from a long line of cockroaches. he's even got the antennae to prove it.
i think this might have been a little excessive, but i have no regrets about it. you're welcome anon ♡

Blue Lock boys with their pregnant partner!
warnings: mentions of pregnancy, aged! up characters, mentions of s*x
✿•˖*ISAGI YOICHI
Tumblr media
Is probably the one most mentally prepared for it. He hadn't planned it or anything but accepts it as blessing in disguise. Makes sure he is attentive and composed when you first show him the pregnancy test in a panicked state. Tells you he wants to cherish your little treasure. Probably wants a baby boy. A fat one he can cuddle to death. Kind of an overprotective husband who makes sure you are safe and taken care of round the clock. Would take the pain to cook for you daily and pick up 90% of the household chores voluntarily so you can enjoy more time with the baby in your belly. Loves hugging your tummy to feel the kicks.
✿•˖*RIN ITOSHI
Tumblr media
Is a bit confused at first. Panics a bit wondering why the contraceptives didn't work but doesn't show it. He takes a few minutes to think about it and finally shows you how happy he is. Starts shopping early for the baby to come. Buys all pink stuff because he's dead sure it's a girl. You scold him for stereotyping gender and tell him your baby girl, if it is a girl, will wear neon green. Will probably get his football team to make a mini version of his jersey just for your little one to wear when they are born. Most likely to take you out in the wee hours to satisfy your crazy cravings.
✿•˖*SAE ITOSHI
Tumblr media
Doesn't react at first. When you start getting pissed, he tells you he knew before you even noticed because unlike you, he isn't stupid. (Also, he remembers your period cycle by heart and notices your mood more than you think he does) Tells you to give it a thought financially and emotionally as he doesn't want to bring a baby into this world just to mess it up further. Once both of you are sure about it, he becomes a doting daddy and husband. Very much into silent gestures like leaving sticky notes for your baby on your tummy before he leaves for his morning workout, doing grocery shopping and lifting the heavy stuff and makes sure to kiss your forehead and your belly before he leaves for tournaments.
✿•˖*RYUSEI SHIDOU
Tumblr media
Is extremely excited. For the fact that he successfully impregnated you and passed on his genes. You bonk him on the head and yell at him for half an hour for being an idiot. He finally comes to his senses and is actually pretty nervous about being a dad. Wants a girl because he hates boys. Wants to make her a footballer, the best one in the world, after him. Makes you listen to all sorts of jank-ass music and vivid films so that the baby will be born with his taste in media. Wants the baby to have your looks though so no one will dare to bully them by calling them an insect. Goes above and beyond to make sure you have a comfortable pregnancy and ends up being more of a parent to you than your baby.
✿•˖*SEISHIRO NAGI
Tumblr media
Experiences a change in personality and lifestyle when he hears a mini-him or a mini-you is about to come into this world. Starts moving his arse around the house more. Stocks up on baby formula 6 months in advance. Tastes it and regrets it. Starts planning the next five years of the baby's life too. He wants the kid to be active and social and do everything, unlike how he was raised. Wants to be a hands-on parent. Takes a lot of notes and advice from Reo. Diligently attends baby-prep classes and makes sure you are attending them punctually too. At night though, he sleeps with his head on your belly, wanting nothing more than to protect the two most important people in his life.

I NEED ITOSHI RIN BF HEADCANONS, I BEG YOU 😭
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
·˚ ༘ ITOSHI RIN BF HEADCANONS !
# warnings: gn!reader, fluff and a little hurt/comfort, mentions to arguments, somewhat suggestive but no nsfw, swearing, idk how many words this is but quite a bit LOL, unedited
# a/n: LUCKY FOR BOTH OF US THAT I JUST SO HAPPENED TO WANT ITOSHI RIN BF HEADCANONS TOO. ENJOY MY FRIEND.
Tumblr media
no one knows how you two got into a relationship and to be honest, you don't really know either. like how did you bag itoshi mf rin 😨 the most unlikeable bitch anyone will ever meet in their life... (lovingly)
bachira asked you if you were okay the first time you met and rin immediately lunged at him. like, please stop babe, you're just proving meguru's point !
how you met and all is a story for another time <3 because holy fucking shit is it a long one.
but the point is, although rin takes a while to open up, he is an amazing boyfriend, despite what everyone believes :,)
claims that he needs an independent partner bc he needs his space from time to time and you were completely understanding, even agreeing that some privacy here and there is nice.
except as it turns out, rin is the most co-dependent partner there is 💀 it's no longer 'i' bc it is now 'we'! slay!
he literally needs you to go to the grocery store with him and expects you hold his hand the entire time too- literally.
─── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ───
"you know how to buy your own green tea, why do i need to come with you?" you ask when rin pops his head into your study room where you were reading your book. "please?"
─── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ───
you accompany him (almost) every time. if you're out he even waits for you to get home just so you can go with him like boy wtf...
well his love language is quality time saur.
expresses his love through gifts and acts of service as well. all of the gifts he buys for you are genuinely so well thought-out, like you almost tear up at all of them. one of them was a teddy bear that said 'you're better than mediocre.' and you almost cried 🗣🗣 okay but fr, he got you an anniversary gift of all his favourite moments with you, adding spotify bar codes to the pictures. there were photos from before u even dated like rin 😭😭😭😭 he is so babygirl pls take care of him.
on that note, i headcanon that rin has decent music taste. he listens to rock and alt, even anime soundtracks 🤣 but bc he's fluent in english, i bet he listens to arctic monkeys and the neighbourhood on REPEAT 🔁
wait yeah lover of music, it just makes sense for him to have a collection of headphones in his room. he likes to make you playlists too :( rinnie :( for me???
(rin also has a love language of offering you the first bite of food. you're sharing ice cream? here, have the first spoon. wanna try some of rin's lunch? he's already offering it. the smoothie he's having sounds good? he's already pushing it towards you.)
ALSO ☝️ BC THIS FUCKER LOVES HORROR, IT'S SOMETIMES TO A POINT THAT IT GETS YOU KINDA SCARED FOR YOUR LIFE... HOW IS HE SO IMMUNE TO ALL THE BLOOD... AND VIOLENCE...
he's SICK for this. you never let him pick the movies whenever you want to watch something.
also like it's a good enough reason to not get on his bad side. mans probably has 100 ways to k*ll shidou and get away with it.
anyways, rin would probably be hesitant to let you meet his family (read: sae). he's not ashamed of you, he's ashamed of sae.
so when his family demands to meet you, rin finally caves, agreeing to a dinner back home. only to find out he had nothing to worry about. his mother and father love you, saying how you were so beautiful the whole dinner, and how lucky rin was to have you. they even brought up the topic of marriage and you and rin kinda just sat there like 😐😁 smile and wave... smile and wave...
internally though, rin was over the moon knowing that you're accepted by his family. he loves his mum and dad, and although his relationship with sae is rocky with no smooth waves in sight, his opinion is... 'appreciated'.
best part was that his mother then turned to sae and went 'when are you going to get a partner as well?' and rin SENT HIM THE MOST SHIT-EATING GRIN EVER LMFAOOOOOOO
they got into a fight whilst cleaning the dishes that night.
rin then takes u home and pampers u, still high from the happiness that seeing u with his family brought 😇
WAIT ALSO - YOU TWO DEFINITELY SHOWED UP TO THE DINNER WITH MATCHING FITS >:o
HAVE YOU SEEN THIS MAN'S WARDROBE LIKE DAMN SHAWTY... LET ME HIT... so he'll 100% shop for you too.
in fact, he's the best boyfie to take shopping, he'll be like 'no that's not your colour, but the fit is nice' or be like 'you might need a different size. this one isn't right' - you trust his judgment way more than your friends.
when you are out with your friends shopping, you'll send rin photos for his opinions and he never misses 💯 drops whatever he's doing to respond bc he's gotta make sure his pretty lover has the best wardrobe!!
rin loves paying for your shopping sprees too. no matter how much you try to wrestle him for who pays, he will always win. you make it even though by paying for your meals that day (the difference in how much money is spent on clothes and food will never compare, but it makes you feel a little less guilty so rin indulges you).
also attentive af. knows your tastes in almost everything, memorised your little habits and how you like certain things done. very dedicated bf once you realise just how much he loves doing things for you.
i just had this thought:
you know how couples post on tiktok all the time? well, you thought it would be nice if you could participate in one trend with rin.
you just thought it'd be a small post to share with your friends but instead, you seemed to forget to turn on the 'only friends can view option', it blew the FUCK up - like ofc it would, that's itoshi mf rin... but the comments were all like 'why are you with him', or 'dump him... you're too hot for him...', or 'you can do sooo much better than him'.
look, no matter how sensible rin is, he's not immune to drama and this bitch will not settle for when people tell him he doesn't deserve you like did YOU GO THROUGH TWO YEARS OF PINING??? I DON'T THINK SO. SIT THE FUCK DOWN.
so he's on your account, picks the comment 'i could treat you better than him', films himself giving the commenter the middle finger before you pull him in by the collar to give him a big ol kiss, cutting the video at the exact time that you both stumble out of frame.
look, it's not the most optimal way to fight back against the haters 🙄 but he doesn't need to prove nothing, not like anyone else gets you all to themselves.
oh this man has a banger social media presence, on his main AND on his private accounts.
he prefers posting on the priv bc there he can freely show u off and be more authentic.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
itoshirinpriv I love when Y/n wears the things I buy them
─ megurusundercover when will u buy me things rinnie </3
╰┈➤ itoshirinpriv Choke and die
╰┈➤ megurusundercover kinky ;)
─ isagi11 Hi @y/n !
╰┈➤ y/n HI YOICHI !!!!
Tumblr media
LOVES A SUPPORTIVE S/O, EVEN IF HE DOESN'T LET IT SHOW!!! WEAR HIS JERSEY AT A MATCH AND CHEER FOR HIM AND YOU HAVE HIS HEART !!! RECORD HIS MATCHES FOR HIM AND WATCH THEM WITH HIM AND HE'LL LOVE YOU FOREVER !!!!! he doesn't ask for much, just a little appreciation back :<
also don't try to compete against rin in anything unless you have guaranteed victory bc this mf is competitive AF.
will spare you on some occasions but more often than not, will give 100% into everything.
you use this to your advantage like 'hey babe, wanna see who can clean more of the house in one hour?' and HE TAKES IT SERIOUSLY EVERY TIME. to be fair, so do you because like you want a clean house, but rin is SO speedy when there's a challenge involved.
easy defeat every time but you can't be mad.
hc that rin can't cook for shit. so you'll have to be there with him or just ban him from the kitchen straight up.
you taught him how to make microwave popcorn and that's about the only thing he is permitted to make.
even his diet-regulated smoothies are all made by you because holy fuck he somehow always messes up the recipe despite it being really clear and concise.
also you steer clear from him when he's working out because he just looks TOO GOOD working out that i makes you feel a little funny and pathetic 😇
if you are someone who does enjoy exercise, rin would love to take this chance to spend some more time together. you could be doing a pilates workout and rin is in the corner lifting weights, glancing over to you ever so often, sending him winks when you catch him.
loves going on hikes with you, no matter the difficulty, how steep or flat, he just really likes being active and if you join him, he'll be SO happy.
also u know how he loves yoga and meditation? if hiit and sweat-inducing workouts aren't for you, he likes stretching with you and teaching you breathing exercises that help throughout the day.
100/10 MASSEUSE BTW !!!! 👍👍👍👍
ofc, relationships aren't always perfect and especially when dealing with rin, someone who has quite a fair bit of trauma from being abandoned and left behind, it only worsens the tension.
believes you're going to leave him every time </3 like no :( just bc you're mad at him doesn't mean you've stopped loving him.
communication is so important. rin has a tendency to catastrophize a lot so please, put your pride aside and talk to him! reassure him! spend some time with him! that's how post-arguments usually go.
then you'll talk it out calmly, expressing both of your perspectives, apologising for breaking boundaries and trying to adapt accordingly.
this routine is a delicate one and it took months of putting aside your immaturity in order to grow together. especially rin who is so full of pride, but when he realised that his stubbornness wasn't winning him anything, he shattered his hardened perception of self and let you in.
Tumblr media
"rin?" you whisper, poking your head into your shared bedroom delicately, afraid to upset the beast sleeping in there even more.
"what," he snaps, sitting on his side of bed in a hunched over position. he hugs his legs close to his body and the sight breaks your heart a little.
"i'm watching 'the shining', you can join me if you'd like to."
he grumbles something inaudible before you close the door quietly, hoping he'd cave because you chose this movie just so he'd come around. it's his favourite after all.
setting out a bowl of popcorn and some beverages of choice, you just manage to get the movie up when rin emerges from the bedroom, all gloomy and moody. he plops down on the opposite side of the couch, chin on his hand.
he's pretending like you don't exist which is fine by you, you know he'll cave eventually. so, you slide a cup of water and the bowl of popcorn to him and settle in, pressing 'play'.
around 15 minutes in or so, you're too engrossed in the movie to hear rin's quiet shuffling, and how he's now crossed the distance to sit next to you. his hand comes up to your shoulder to get your attention and when he has it, rin's quick to manoeuvre you so that you were now lying down on the couch.
he then plops down, wrapping his arms around you and resting his head on your chest.
"i'm sorry," whispers the striker. such simple words with such heavy meaning, especially coming from him.
you know he wants to say more, but you know better than he can't get it out, so, you begin threading your fingers through his hair, just how he likes it. rin softens completely against you.
"it's okay," you reassure.
"you're too good for me."
the next morning there's a bouquet of flowers and dessert from your favourite bakery on the kitchen counter.
Tumblr media
rin wakes up at a reasonable hour. he likes to start off his days between 8 to 9 am, with 9-10 hours of sleep.
your sleep cycle has been synced with his because he hates sleeping without you beside him.
unless you have a good reason to push back sleep, he will not stand for it. stop depriving yourself of sleep and give your body the rest it deserves!!!!!
has a set night routine with you.
also i'm sorry but rin loves making out + neck and hand kisses are his favourite to give to you + he loves receiving temple and lip kisses.
goes to parties and clubs but very reluctantly. he doesn't like to drink, especially during soccer season, so there's not a lot of joy he can find in going out, except when he gets to eye you up and down all night and have fun with you AYEEEE 🕺😩
'you can wear whatever u want, i can fight' bf.
one thing you learn abt this man overtime is that he truly does not care how you dress. even tho it seems like he's judging you, he loves everything you wear and will admire you appreciatively 24/7.

how they react when they catch you simping for a fictional character
pairings. shidou ryusei x gn!reader, itoshi rin x m!reader, mikage reo x gn!reader (separate)
contents. crack, smau, a sexual joke and a half (it's just ryusei being ryusei) shinonome akito slander (I'M SORRY I PROMISE I LOVE HIM BUT RIN DOESN'T), exposing my taste in men, written all in lowercase, spoilers for sounds of a summer event (project sekai)
a/n. i thought of this bc i questioned if i liked rin or akito more 😭, and sorry for rin's being so long since i had the most ideas for him :>. i also have no confidence with crack so please bear with me and it's my first smau
shidou ryusei - seong taehoon (how to fight / viral hit)
Tumblr media
when he caught you gawking at the new viral hit chapter, taehoon specifically, he immediately joined you (as he should)
he straight up yelled "smash" at that one scene where taehoon's snacking and he's wearing a tight shirt so you can see all of his muscles
he begs you to re read the series with them, and now you two read each update every week together, fully engaged in the story and taehoon's abs
attempts to recreate all of taehoon's kicks (i headcanon that does taekwondo and has a black belt :>), proudly shows them off to you, with a huge grin on his face (please fawn over him too)
also extensively practices so he can show them off by incorporating them into soccer somehow (doesn't matter if it ain't practical he just wants to impress you), and if he ever has to use them on anyone making you uncomfortable
he probably has a folder in his gallery dedicated to every panel he loves (which is basically all) and recreates his absolute favs (with you as his photographer)
makes a lot of jokes about being in love with taehoon (so do you), but he'd stop them if they made you uncomfortable, and reassures you that a drawing can't compare to how sweet, amazing and perfect you are
honorable mentions to baek seongjun being his second favourite
wants you to do taekwondo as well cause now he has a thing for it after discovering taehoon
"i swear to god men who do taekwondo and can actually fight are so hot,"
"isn't that you?"
"... you don't agree with me...?"
"no you have a brilliant point"
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
itoshi rin - shinonome akito (project sekai)
Tumblr media
during the sounds of a summer festival event you spent so much time glued to your phone, full combo-ing literally every hard, expert, and master song you possibly could, leveling up all character ranks, sacrifice countless of hours of sleep (if it's for akito it's very much worth it), and even contemplate spending money
you even tweeted about how badly you need him
rin notices the bags under your eyes, and the lack of sleep you had been getting, he's worried and when he asks you you're too focused on the event story to even register what he says, as you're on the brink of sobbing at young akito and ena
he observes as well, and immediately is jealous of how much of your attention this fictional character was receiving from you
as you're about to spend another few hours grinding, he stops you
"dumbass you need to sleep, and give your eyes a break"
"no i don't, i need summer festival akito,"
"who and what?"
soon you're rambling on how much akito's backstory and struggles already hurt, and how wholesome yet painful the event story was, with akito quitting soccer and ena encouraging him to give music a try, and it only nurtures rin's envy
"you're going to cry for a ginger guy who quit soccer and started his ambition because of his older sister? how lukewarm,"
"yes i am?? and he looked cute as a child and now he's a pretty boy with the best vocals. their event cards are beautiful too i need them. didn't you start soccer because of sae anyways?"
"tch"
"rin... are you jealous?"
"... no, i just don't get what you see in this idiot. i never quit soccer when it got hard and i know how to persevere, i don't give up, i don't experience despair when someone's better than me-"
"so you're jealous,"
"no"
"rin you always have and always will be my number 1. akito can't do anything you've done for me, and can't even compare to how pretty you are,"
"damn right,"
despite being salty, he still installs the game to read the stories, out of pure curiosity and wants to understand what kind of stuff you like
he ends up adoring ena and akito's relationship (the supportive part only ofc), as well as tsukasa and saki's (and secretly wishes sae was as affectionate as shizuku since she reminds him of sae in the past)
you do not shut up when you seem him struggle with hitorinbo envy on master
"I THOUGHT YOU SAID AKITO WAS LUKEWARM,"
"he is, i was just curious why you liked the stories so much,"
"YOU SPENT EVERY FREE CRYSTAL ON THE FIND A WAY OUT EVENT AND NOW GRINDING FOR MORE,"
"... i want his boyfriend"
"YOU READ THE MAIN STORY TOO ?! and you don't need touya you have me"
"THAT'S HOW I FELT ABOUT AKITO,"
"YOU FEEL INFERIOR TO A LUKEWARM GINGER?"
Tumblr media Tumblr media
mikage reo - kang tae moo (business proposal)
Tumblr media
he heard you squealing at a scene of tae moo getting flustered after sunghoon suggested his feelings for hari
he thought that you were having a heart attack and thought something was wrong
reo doesn't even need the show's context to be invested immediately, as he joins you and watches with great interest
after seeing you simp over tae moo, in secret, he binge watches the rest of the series in attempt to mimic any romantic scenes
full on posts the "do you know what my credit card and my love for y/n have in common? they simply have no limit" on his not very private twitter account, and it leaves you flustered by all the comments saying how lucky you are and their jealousy
deletes any comment revealing the source of that line (silently apologises to the writer(s) and credits ahn hyo seop for its brilliant execution)
little does he know nagi made a tweet exposing him
also recreates other cute scenes from the show, and starts looking for more kdramas to watch and recreate (still gets fully absorbed in the plot and dialogue)

Tumblr media
Sypnosis: Continuation of the Itoshi brothers' fic 💀⁉
Warnings: not proofread, Love angle, unclear ending + reader gets to choose, all characters are aged-up, mild cursing/vulgar language, messy interchanging grammar
Notes: I genuinely have no idea where to continue from this fic, so I'm sorry in advance if it seems rushed or messy
Featuring: Itoshi Rin x F! Reader x Itoshi Sae
Tumblr media
You're left dazed by the question. His words register in your head and your lips part to speak, but the words are stuck at the base of your throat. The taste of bile builds up at the back of your tongue, was the room always spinning like this? Your body lunges forward with one hand clutching your stomach as the other covers your mouth.
"Fuck, she's gonna throw up,"
"And you still want her to stay here, asshole?"
"Stop bitching and actually help her, will you?"
Everyone's voices are distorted in your ears, you couldn't tell if that was Rin's or Sae's hands gently patting your back. The booming music is starting to be obnoxious. You definitely had too much to drink.
"Hey," Sae? Or was that Rin? "We're getting out of here. There's no way you can walk like this." There's a brief pause as you feel your feet lift from the ground and your head rests on his broad shoulders. "My brother? It's better not to give a shit about him anyway."
He felt safe - embrace warm as he carried you out of the club. Perhaps if you were a little more sober, you'd be thrashing around and objecting to being carried - you weren't sure yourself if it was Sae or Rin... or a completely different person cradling you in their arms right now. But, let's call it women's intuition, you had a feeling you knew who was whispering sweet nothings to you right now.
"...you're still here with me, right?" He mumbles, watching you dumbly nod. "Don't shake your head too much, you're definitely gonna puke your insides out."
"...where are we headed?" You're able to blurt out miraculously, a slight slurring to your voice. Your throat aches and your voice is hoarse. Your ankles hurt from the heels you decided to wear on impulse - heels that Sae kept berating your head off about despite how amused he is when he catches you before you trip.
"My place. I have to take care of you tonight." His voice is assertive, firm like he knows in his heart that he has to be with you - as if he knew that he'd be swayed by your dangerous charms and pleas otherwise.
"Aww, are you worried about me?" You coo. Being drunk affects not only your ability to balance but also how bold you are... or should he say how recklessly gutsy you are. Your incoherent babbling is something he must find entertaining to be able to listen like this instead of abandoning you on the sidewalk.
"Yes, but you're so damn...!" He groans, "Whatever, you're too intoxicated to listen. You won't remember shit."
He gently places you down on a park bench. Fishing for his wallet, he slots in coins in the vending machine next to the bench, keeping a close eye on you. You've practically draped your whole body over the bench, head leaned back and staring at the sky as your leg takes up the space that you were meant to share with him.
"...whatever," He mutters, unscrewing the bottle of water. "Hey, (Name). Drink up."
"Are you an angel?" You gaze up, not-so-gracefully snatching the bottle and chugging it. "Oi, slow down," He reminds you, squatting in front of you since his spot on the bench was rudely stolen.
You let out a satisfied sigh after getting water back into your system. Your throat doesn't feel as dry anymore. "C'mon, have some!" You gesture.
"Before that, are you feeling better?" He gently pries your finger off the bottle, screwing the cap back on with his eyes still observing you. "...you do recognize me, right?"
"Yeah, yeah! You're..." You answer, his name naturally rolling off your tongue.
He chuckles, "That's right, princess."

[ i ]::
The heir to the wealthiest house in town, Reo Mikage was the perfect specimen of an eligible bachelor. Dreamy eyes, bright in academics, a good physique, and a dashing smile — one could say he was one of a kind. But rich kids like him tend to abuse it, of course not by choice yet Reo did. Reo was anything but obedient. He always had a way of disobeying his father’s words, doing the opposite of what he was asked to do. No, he was not stubborn. He was angry, angry for being pulled into the mirage of conquering the world as placed by his father, angry for not being able to see through the lies he was fed as a kid, angry that his own parents betrayed him, and butchered his dreams of standing on top of the world.
And, he retaliated, just like a child would when deprived of their favorite toy. He left no room for his parents to complain yet did every other thing that a rich spoiled brat tends to do: late-night parties, girls, hook-ups, and sometimes smoking. He thought it would make him cool, at least that is what he got from girls who swooned over him but unfortunately, it did not suit his taste; smoking was okay but weed was off limits for him.
During the summer vaccination, Reo had visited all the pubs mainly situated on the outskirts of his town; where he used to meet with his friends, and of course, if he had a chance, he would spend some time with a girl. He liked it, not entirely but in bits and pieces, being the center of attention with Nagi beside him, doe eyes more than a pair checking him out as he enjoyed his drink manspreading on the settee. At the same time, Nagi was busy flaunting one of his newly learned vaping techniques. 
On most days, he takes Nagi along with him, sometimes beyond his will and solely because he did not have to entertain any kind of silly obvious flirts. Sometimes, he felt suffocated to put up with all these facades. After all, he was doing it out of spite. He could not care about anything other than soccer, holding the world cup in his hands amidst the cheering crowd. For him, everything becomes trifling, so little of value whenever it comes to soccer is totally contrary to his father’s beliefs, morals, and needs. It makes him sick.
Nagi’s laughter roared amidst the loud music that was deafening Reo’s ears. He hated it, all these neon lights, short-lived attention like a shooting star in the sky but he loved it when the same girls cheered him and shouted his name while he was about to score the last goal. He loved the echo of those voices that reeked of desperation for victory and nothing else. Yes, a victory that he chased at every breath, at each passing moment until he saw her that day, on a hot summer evening. 
She passed by his lavish car dragging the trolley with one hand and adjusting her hat with the other wearing a peach-colored one-piece that pronounced her curves. Reo never bothered to spare a second glance at any girls he had dated till now, not that he particularly remembers who gave him a blow job last night, at least not voluntarily because things like that came smoothly to him.  But he remembered how he turned his head to get a glimpse of that girl, the girl with a butterfly tattoo
And Oh! wait and an odd butterfly bracelet on her left hand. Odd since he has not noticed any girls around him wearing such a piece of jewelry that barely hugged their wrists. For a moment, he thought that if she were to run or jerk her hand away she might misplace it. God, how he desperately wished the world to stop moving, how he wanted the red signal at the crossroad to stay red but the moment it turned green, he breathed in air realizing the tangy taste of love at first sight. 
This happened months ago, during summer vacation and now it is almost time for winter vacation.  Reo never believed in love at first sight but if he were to write about it in his diary or that journal app that he downloaded because the icon looked pretty, he would write about her. However momentary the feeling was, it felt valid, it felt right. 
Reo’s eyes spun everywhere as he stood leaning against the wall. He was secretly thankful to Isagi for stealing the girl from him. He wasn’t particularly interested in her in the first place. A sharp tone dehazed his vision as he took another drag. “Fuck, you’re so wasted. Can you really go home all by yourself…?” Sweet, melodious, and inebriated it seemed to his senses or maybe he drank too much today. He peeked from behind the wall.
Still, with the cigarette in between his fingers, his lips parted slightly and eyes registering the miracle he could ever ask for. This is what they must call chance encounters he pondered. There she is. Reo’s legs moved before he could think of anything, such as how to approach a girl in a bar or be the good guy yet not the creepy one. With his wobbly steps, he proceeded onwards.
She was still there, that butterfly bracelet was dangled as she helped the guy to be on his feet. They were about to trip but the girl managed to keep the balance. Reo smiled to himself as a firm grip kept him from going further on. “Oye, Reo. ohh fuck… ”, Nagi drawled in lazily realizing that Reo was too drunk for someone who had to drive and go home. So, at times like these Nagi just calls his parents to tell them that Reo is gonna stay over at his house which actually saves both of them a lot of work. Money was never the problem for Reo and luckily Nagi was never the one to stay by his side for the cash. So, they always seem to crawl back to each other, even after an argument.
“Oye… Reo, you’re staying at mine.”, Nagi stated after he was done with booking a cab and informing his parents.
“Tsk, what a drag! Can’t she come with us too?” Reo blinked craving to see her, clearer, yet when he opened his eyes she was gone, even the guy. He clicked his tongue and gave in. He was too upset to pursue his feelings.
[ ii ]::
The morning rolled in faster than Reo had expected. It was already eleven when he opened his eyes. As usual, Nagi was sitting at the center of the couch, buried in video games. The room was bright and hot, Reo felt his ears burn and the back of his throat a little churning when he swallowed. His mouth felt so dry that he felt the urge to drink gallons of water.
“Good morning.”Nagi said, earning Reo’s gaze. “The geyser is on but if you feel, you can shower in normal water instead”, he paused his video game, and shifted his body to lock eyes with Reo saying with a furrow between his eyebrows, “Don’t use too much shampoo.” Reo finally felt that he was not in deep slumber, nor in dreamlands. He rolled over the bed to avert the sunbeams stilling on his skin before closing his eyes and exhaling.
“Sei, i’m home. I brought takeouts.”, she said, keeping the food on the kitchen counter.
“Leftovers.”, Nagi exclaimed with boredom.
“Nope. Takeouts.”, she barked, kicking the pumps off your feet so as to rush into the bathroom. Within ten minutes you were done refreshing and for once she did not have to yell at her brother since running hot water was available. She slipped into fresh clothes before finally sitting in front of the laptop.
“Who’s that?”, 
“My cousin sister. She will be here for almost a month.”, Nagi drawled in as Reo dragged his feet with utmost strength to stand upright. He cracked his knuckles and joints before hitting the bath. The cold water on his skin felt better than the lukewarm one. Reo could feel his energy being replenished as he came out of the bathroom in boxers and rubbed his hair rigorously. 
He went straight to the fridge to grab a bottle of water, cooler than normal temperature. Reo preferred it that way. It is one of his bad habits. He is aware of that yet refused to get rid of it. The half-empty bottle stands on the kitchen counter as last night was starting to collect in his mind in flashes.
Y/n entered the kitchen with her eyes locked on the phone screen and earphones plugged in. She would have collided in a house that was alien to her, unlike this one. She opened the fridge door, grabbed a bottle, and left the kitchen through the other door in perfect delicacy still being hooked onto that small rectangular screen. She did not even register the presence of another soul in the kitchen as she passed by Reo.
Life is full of mishaps and rare coincidences but for Reo, this one was the first instance for both of them: a mishap and a coincidence. The half-clad boy dropped the bottle as he swung his hand while turning around, blinking to see what exactly he was seeing. It’s her, a butterfly on the nape and a very loose dangling bracelet. It really is her.
[ iii ] :: 
There were so many things on my mind that were weighing me down, my heart but I had to neglect all of those because never in my life had I thought I would meet her again. The only downside is that she is Nagi’s sister and elder to me, almost three to five years if I were to guess. For the first time in my life, I wanted to pursue someone, a girl, and my feelings but there are just so many boundaries. The age wasn’t much of a problem but that might intimidate me if I ever walked up to her to initiate our first conversation. 
I came home late after spending the whole day at Nagi’s place, purposely since I didn’t want to get yelled at and I didn’t want to ruin this mood, this feeling of something special, something so different yet so very familiar. Was I in love? Not really. Will I think about her? definitely.  
“You’re late, Reo.”, and my blood boiled at that very instant, hearing my father’s voice. I didn’t plan on arguing with him, it would be a waste of time plus I hate it when I get yelled at or have to yell or be a witness to it. In general, i just hate fights and arguments but would never back down when really needed; ‘desperate times, desperate measures ’
“. . .  oye, reo are you listening? Tsk! It’s useless to talk to you these days.”
Useless, huh? And trampling on my dreams, wasn’t it? Oh, how very amusing! I went to my room without further ruckus, grabbed a bottle of chilled water, and went to my room. Before I could lie down on the bed I heard mom yelling and felt my stomach turn. As I said, fights & arguments make me nauseous. 
My attention was diverted to my phone. Nagi? At this hour?
“Reo, glad you're still awake. Wanna join us tomorrow night? I already scored.”
“Depends. Who else is gonna be there? And by the way, who’s we?”
“well… me, Isagi, Bachira & maybe some of his friends.”
 I had most of my assignments completed. Some had deadlines a week later after the winter vacation is over so I'll do the finishing touches later.
It's not like I had something to do after soccer practice so I thought it would be better to be at his house than mine. 
But I didn't think his sister was gonna be there and that too greeting me at the doorstep. Of course, she would be here. Nagi mentioned that she's gonna stay the whole winter vacation, and might leave around new years. “Sei is probably in his room sulking and waiting for you ”, she said, strolling through the corridor without meeting my eyes. “Probably eating chips and Isagi and others are upstairs.” I wasn't worried that I was the last one to crash. No, all I thought was how bad I was at making decisions. 
Reo, Nagi, Isagi, Bachira, and a few others were sitting in a circle, gossiping and circulating chips and a blunt. Reo is not actively participating. He sure is just reacting whenever one has to share one of their few secrets. But that’s about it. Truth or dare occupied this evening. Initially, Sae suggested monopoly since he was good at it but he was voted out. Besides, it is not just the boys. Isagi brought a girl with him. He often does that at small parties like these. Must be nice to always have someone at speed dial to blow off some steam. Reo recognized her. It is the same girl from that day, the girl who was skillfully skewed from him by Isagi. 
Pity was the last thing he needed right now, for him, it is mostly a one time thing with no strings attached. But if either one of them managed not to linger over such silly gestures like holding hands, sharing milkshakes and cigarettes, going for late night walks, and what not then half of the work is done. And, that girl beside Isagi seemed to be just that type otherwise Reo doubts that Isagi is the kind to let it linger but who knows? change is always happening, we just do not see it properly. So, self-pity was the first emotion he felt whenever Reo and the girl exchanged glances. 
Those amethyst eyes stilled over the spinning bottle, the cigarette burns pressed in between his lips while his mind tries to think of any other things than her, than nagi’s cousin sister. She must be downstairs: busy with herself or just sulking. And what exactly is he doing here? Why is he even wasting his time in this silly game of lies and half-lies? Sure, there is a possibility that she already does have a boyfriend or girlfriend but doesn't hurt to find out? Does it now?
“Truth or dare.”, Reo asked, filling the air near his mouth with minty puffs of smoke. 
“Truth.”, Nagi answered while everyone sighed in unison with boredom. But Reo was not disappointed. Not at all; in fact, he wished to make it count lucidly.
“Is your sister dating someone?”
“What?”
“Now I’m curious too.”Bachira admitted shamelessly. 
“Now tell us Nagi, is she?”Sae added while Isagi smirked while taking another vodka shot. 
“ehhh—What a pain!”. Nagi was in his usual demeanor: laid back, unattentive eyes, and lazy contribution in talks. For a guy like him one might think he is harmless let alone be a tease yet his short-lived comments could get anyone’s ear burned in anger. 
“Why don’t you ask her?”, Nagi added as his sister stepped onto the rooftop. All of them fell silent. The only audible sound was y/n’s humming as she kept closing the distance between her and them with packed food and drinks. 
“Truth or dare, nee-san?” Sae broke the silence.
“Umm. . . dare.”, y/n responded crouching so as to empty her hands and it had to be beside Reo of all people. It is not the first time Reo and she has been in the same place and same time but why is he getting so nervous? She was close to his body, her hand almost touched his arms. That was the only change he could spot.
“Bingo. Kiss the boy who's the most handsome in here.” Sae knew what he was doing but he did not expect Reo’s gaze to drill a hole at the back of his head as she walked near him with slow short steps. For Reo, that kind of vicinity was lethal to his heart and it was already drumming. It is surprising to him how Sae was so calm after such a bomb drop of a question.
“You really can’t be serious, Sae.”, she spoke, crossing her arms amongst her chest. “I mean of course I think sei is the most handsome in here but if I were to kiss him I’d be late to my practice every day.”, she gently patted Nagi’s head saying, “he’ll put my alarm off”
“Nee-san. . .”, Nagi joined. He sounded embarrassed but no one noticed. Every other pair of eyes were on her except Reo. Reo just wanted to disappear for a moment. It was too much for him, feeling so many things at the same time at such close quarters. Her phone rang and she disappeared downstairs while talking. Reo could finally take a breath of relief. 
“And Reo, the answer to your question is no. She is not dating anyone, not that I know of.” Nagi lit a cigarette while Bachira spun the beer bottle. Neither dragged the matter anymore. Only Reo did, he pursued his feelings when there was still time.
Y/N was making coffee for herself. If it was just Nagi and his best friend, Reo then she might have joined but there is too much attention that she could handle if she were to take part in today’s small friendly party. She has heard about this guy, Reo, many times. Reo is coming over today, It was Reo who dragged me into playing soccer, Reo this, Reo that. In all honesty, she was a little curious to meet him finally but when she saw her that day at the pub almost knocked out due to drinking and being the center of attraction for most of the girls around him, something died in her. She was not even able to fully understand it. Was it hope for affection or a promise of falling in love? 
She heard rapid footsteps descending the stairs. Speak of the devil. Without acknowledging her presence Reo headed straight to the bathroom. “Ah geez!!”, she murmured as Reo bolted the door loudly. She was enjoying her coffee and chatting. Fingertips jumped all over the keyboard with her bottom lip pressed in between her teeth and eyebrows anxious for a moment. She felt restless as she heard the sound of the bathroom door closing in. She would not have if she had not heard her brother saying that she is not dating anyone at the moment. Why was she a topic of conversation?
“Why didn’t you join us then?” Reo spoke chewing the gum when his eyes met hers through the corner of her eyes, for a mere two seconds. It was just the fragility of curiosity. She really did not mean to create an opening for him to talk but alas!
“I don’t want to.”, her response was quick for someone who is busy on the phone, unbothered to even spare a glance to the person who is trying to make a conversation.
“It’ll be fun. I promise you won't be bored.”, Reo swings his hand over his chest amending, “i’ll make sure of it.”  Finally, Reo had her eyes on him. Yes, finally. She had lush green eyes,full of hopes, perhaps promises too; a promise of falling in love it is then.
“Reo.”, she took a quick glance at the boy who was standing at the opposite side of the kitchen counter, “thank you for your time but I’m not exactly the kind you’d wanna spend the rest of vacation with. Find another chick to waste time with.” Y/N kept the mug near the sink, grabbed a beer bottle from the fridge, and vanished into her room. The door closed with a bang and that was when Reo's heart, which was as still as a pond, had ripples of regret and hurt. Just what the fuck was that? 
[ iv ]:: 
The sun is too bright for a morning in December. Y/N was sweating profusely yet did not want to fan herself with the hat she was holding or the piece of paper that must have been lost somewhere in her tote bag. Moreover, she should be less worried about the weather. She had more pressing matters to handle. A meet and an apology. Yep, that’s it, that might get rid of the weird icky feeling that had dawned on her since last the weekend. And why did she feel like that?
Well, it was Nagi’s doing. For any outsider, they seemed like a sibling pair who envied each other and were always at each other’s throats. But that was not the case. Sure, they do fight but that has been all in the past. Now, it is primarily discussions and discipline once in a blue moon. The latter worked in only one way. It was always Nagi who seemed to give her a pep-talk like a parent would, like an elder sibling would. 
“Nee-san, did you say something to Reo?”, Nagi asked as he entered the room without knocking. Uh-oh! he is mad. “He was acting weird since he came from downstairs.”, he added turning upside down so as to take a good look at her face which was currently curled up under the blanket.
“Oye. Nee-sann. . .?”
She could have avoided it. She could have lied but she did not. Mostly because by now she had realized that she fucked up, big time. Nagi is not someone who would stir past things up elevating any kind of grudge. 
“Yes. . .?”, she spoke peeping through the blanket.
“What’s up with that? Oh, fuck! You did not . . .”, a heavy sigh went past his lips as “ . . . Reo —he is a little sensitive. Generally, he is not but please don’t get him worked up.”
And three days; three days she thought of every possible way to talk to Reo, looking for a way to apologize to him but it never came. So, she decided to take the matter into her own hands, and now, she is standing outside the Mikage Corporations. There is no guarantee that she will be able to meet him. It was a gamble when she decided to get to him through his workplace. She already was  so anxious and the heat was getting really unruly as time passed. She was fanning herself with the set of notes until a pleasing calm feeling soothed her senses. As she spotted a shadow of an umbrella on the ground she turned her head only to find the person she was looking for, Reo Mikage. Her heart thundered against her ribcage when her eyes locked with his. She came here to meet him but why was she so nervous again?
We were sitting opposite to each other at a cafe and Y/N has been swirling the spoon in the coffee for a minute or so. Truth be told, I had no idea why she is here or why she looked so worked up. “So. . . why’re we here exactly?”, I started and she left the spoon idle. Finally.
“I’m sorry. . .  for that day — at our home. I shouldn’t have, you know said such things . . .” It took me a while to realize what exactly she was apologizing for and when I did, I couldn’t help but smile. She still had her eyes on the cup. Well-groomed and tensed hands playing with the cup. Part me was infuriated at her apology while the other was infatuated with her. I wanted to see what she would do if i were to forgive her right away. 
“It’s alright.” I said and she looked at me with so much surprise in her eyes. She did not speak, and looked at me for a little too long, probably searching for an explanation which I wasn’t going to give her. What would I tell? That I kinda like her? Yeah, I tried. I was blown off, not happening again.
“Why’re you so dressed ?”
“Sorry. Wh—at?”, I came back to my senses. She had such a way of doing that. Every. damn. time.
“I mean. . . why’re you dressed in suit and so like festive…” That’s it? That’s the reaction to my forgiveness?
“Oh! This? I am expected to grace Mikage Corporations with my presence twice a month. We’re hosting an annual party so i’m stuck here.”
“Oh. . .”
“You should come.” At that, she chuckled nervously. I didn’t even invite her properly yet she was so . . . bashful about it. 
“I’m actually here for my ballet practices so . . . that’s why I was late for whatever sei planned that day. He always plans something when I’m busy.” 
By now, she was almost done with her coffee. I didn’t order any since can’t afford to enjoy my time with her where so many eyes are looking at us. Perhaps, I seemed different, cold, and harsh but she didn’t seem to let me feel as such.
I took my hands out of my pocket to keep my hands over the table leaning towards her. “You do know that you didn’t need to apologize right? I mean at least you’re a little bit aware that I . . . ohkay nevermind. . .”, I finished since I noticed her angry eyebrows and the dangling butterfly bracelet I checked my watch and saw it was almost time for my next meeting so I excused myself. I was about to leave the cafe. I don’t know what happened to me but I looked back at our seats. She was already looking.
[ v ]:: 
Days passed yet Y/N did not stop thinking about the day at the cafe. Reo was not at all bothered by all the things she said yet y/n was going nuts over it. It felt so stupid and childish. She just came home from practice and did not have any kind of energy to do anything else. Her eyes landed on a pair of tickets. Special offer till midnight, any day, every day. Without further thought she grabbed one of them and yelled, “Sei, I’ll be back within an hour.”, leaving the house.
The moment Reo stepped into the bar he spotted Y/N sitting alone with her glass empty. She asked for a refill as Reo approached her without much thought. 
“Can I take this seat?” Y/N beamed bowing her head down a little as Reo took the seat beside her. His voice sounded husky and deep, face gleaming against those neon lights. 
“Well, you already are.”, she supplied.
“Mind if I ask you something?”
“Sure. go ahead.”
“Wanna hit the dance floor? With me?” Y/N beamed again. Reo was not taking no for answer. He was already up at his feet a little hesitant to lay out his hand. 
“Okay.”, she said hooking her arms around his. Reo did not expect this but he was not going to complain. When they were amidst the crowd she let go of his hand. As they started dancing bathing their body against the neon lights, she held on to his jacket pulling his ears closer to her mouth. “But that is not what you wanted to ask, isn't it ?” He reeked of alcohol, expensive colonge and loneliness.
Y/N could hear his smirk. Reo did not retreat. He tilted his head a little, his lips almost grazing her earlobes. “Why? . . . why don’t you give me a chance?”, Reo’s hands that were handing lose are now getting a little courageous. “why don’t you give yourself a chance?”
Reo moved a little wanting to see her face but had not much luck. “I— I don’t want to hurt you. As simple as that.”
Reo combed back his hair with his palms that were about to cup her face. His hands were far from her tensed body while hers were still resting on the hem of his jacket. “don’t worry.”, Reo’s eyes jumped from her lips to her eyes for a second. “you won’t.”, he said before pressing a kiss on her lips. She arched a little, and her grip on the jacket grew strong enough to be felt by him, a subtle pressure around his nape. As his hands were about to lock her in his embrace it stilled in midway cupping her palms. Reo did not feel the need to do so, to hold her in his embrace for continuing the kiss. His influence on her was high already. It was evident as he gained a little mewl from her before his lips parted with hers.
One. 
One glance before the lights went off for a few seconds and the dancing mob expressed their disappointment in unison. Reo felt her hands quickly slip out from his grasp and when the lights were on, Reo could no longer spot her anywhere in the crowd. He exhaled deeply with an unbearable ache in the corner of his heart. His first kiss tasted tangy too.Fuck. he got ahead of himself.
[ vi ]:: 
The alarm beeps with an awful intensity for a few seconds and then it dies immediately. The sun is not bright, even when the curtains are drawn in there is no warmth on the skin. Last night was a blast, in fact, a grave mistake. Reo stood in front of the mirror checking his phone. A new notification. It’s a match. At least he had something else to keep the rest of his day occupied.
The fumes of a half-burnt cigarette rose up to the cloudy sky. It is barely noon yet the sun is still unable to find a way out of the gray haze of the sky. It is settled. It’s going to rain, soon, for both the sky and those young hearts. Y/N was waiting at the bus stop. After her ballet practice, she intended to meet a friend who lived in the next town but her mood was utterly fucked. Moreover, the weather forecasts are not good either. There were so many things that were unknown to her, so many things yet to learn, yet to observe and seek, and to experience, which is why the unknown is always feared.
When she reached home, half-drenched and cold, she noticed a pair of shoes other than her little brother’s. It belonged to Reo since she could undoubtedly pick up on their voices, talking in an agitated manner. 
“Then, why the fuck would you go on a date that you didn’t like ?”
“I told you. I was . . .  I needed distraction.”
“Distraction? From what exactly.”
Nagi and Reo switched their gaze to the entrance of the room at the sound of a sneeze. “Nee-san . . .”, Nagi trailed off quickly leaving his seat to her aid. They kept talking as Nagi helped her with the bags and gave her a towel to dry her hair. It would take some time for the hot water to get ready still, Nagi could not figure out why did not she call him to let him know that she will be late or something. . . he would have gone to pick her up with umbrellas. Reo could have joined . . .Reo. . . Nagi tilted his head to see if Reo was still there or not. He was but he could see only his back. He rolled his eyes followed by a heavy sigh. The cause of distraction became crystal clear to him.
Reo could not shut his eyes. He could not forget how she glanced at him through the corner of her eyes and then quickly averted. It would not have been a much bother if it were not for the smile that followed the eye contact. He could not seem to back at her, he just could not forget about it. Besides, he is way too hungry to go back to sleep. Now that the bad taste of the date was gone he felt his hunger properly since he did not eat much for dinner.
Reo swallowed his yawn when he saw y/n in a flimsy dress hanging up to her knees. She was eating ice cream in the dead of the night sitting on the countertop and humming to herself. 
“Reo. . .”, she trailed off jumping on the floor and wiping her face with the sleeve of her dress. Was she drunk? 
“I’m hungry.”, Reo said opening the fridge. But he is not really concentrating, more like., he can’t.
“i—I’m leaving tomorrow.”
“Mm-hmm”
“I—I’ll miss you.”
Reo pinned her hands against the wall holding them over her head. His mouth was opening ajar, breathing hard and fast. “Oh really?”, he murmured as he slipped his hands underneath her dress. “I hope you really do after this.” 
To his surprise, y/n was not wearing underwear and that sure slowed his advances. She puckered her lips inwards holding her laughter but chocked on her breath when he suckeled on her neckline. Without futher delay he was on his knees, head buried in between her legs, lapping his tongue against her entrance. Reo gripped her thighs as he felt encouraged by a pair of hands skimming through his hair. Soft moans and huffs reached his ears but that did not stop him. 
Y/N could felt her sanity on edge, desire to touch herself but she did not had to. When Reo stopped she quickly cupped his face pulling him for a deep kiss, a kiss that lasted long enough to get Reo up on his feet, his hands around her body to place her on the counter. A momentary parting of lips as they glanced at each other before it all came down to waves of fireworks.
“Fuck.”, both of them uttered as a set of eight glassware was on the floor and that too pieces. The sound was loud enough to wake anyone up. y/n could not take any risks. “Go. leave. Now.”, she uttered without blinking. 
“No.”, Reo said earning her glare. “You should leave.”
“We’ll fight about this later. I promise.” and that was it. Nagi did wake up but was not bothered to check what it was since he is used to it. He was aware of his sister’s habit of midnight hunts but he was not aware that Reo contributed to this mess too. 
The next morning Nagi went to see her off to the station. He asked if it was her in the kitchen at night or not, to which she nodded a ‘yes’. 
“Was Reo there too?”, nagi asked.
Another ‘yes’.
“Well, he asked me for your number a few days ago, so I figured. . .” Nagi remained silent for a few seconds. He did not have to ask.
It was another yes.

What do you think about spending halloween night with blue lock characters?
Halloween is a big deal here so I may have went a bit overboard but idc. Happy Halloween !! (excuse me if this is wonky I just woke up)
WARNINGS : gn reader(no prns mentioned) , could be interpreted as romantic or platonic , general halloween themes
Tumblr media
when halloween comes there’s three types of people you can find around ;;
THE CLASSICS ;; they’re the embodiment of halloween spirit and do all the traditions but most importantly, they’re never “too big” for trick or treat , after all what’s better than walking hand to hand with you, pockets full of candy?
BACHIRA ; he was so excited for for this !! You two wore matching costumes and practically went to every house in 10 km radius . When you went to home you were exhausted so just ended up having a sleepover in his place ! just don’t let him have a sugar rush the next day
KUNIGAMI ; kids LOVE him so he ended up babysitting a bunch of them going trick or treat(so there’s no bombs in their lollipops) and he was so glad that you agreed to come along too. At the end he’s carrying sleeping kids to their homes and even if how much you may protest, he is carrying you back home too
SHIDOU ; he drags you EVERYWHERE it doesn’t matters if the house’s lights are off and you start to suspect he’s here more for the trick part than treat. Even so he makes sure you’re entertained and have a bunch of candy, he also tries to scare you using the decorations
OTHERS ;; aryuu , NANASE , hiori , ness
Tumblr media
THE PARTY ANIMAL ;; every holiday is a chance for a part for them and halloween is no exception to that , enter the probably over decorated house and if you’re lucky you’ll have some good food and a dj with a good music taste , even if not they will make sure you will stay entertained for the whole night
REO ; it’s the most fancy party you’ve ever seen , there’s even zombie waiters around, carrying halloween themed snacks and to admit, it’s kinda too much . But you know how much Reo worked on this and who are you to ruin his fun? Just grab his hands and dance all night !!
SAE ; it’s hosted by a sponsor he said, im only here because I have to and you’ve never seen someone try as hard as him to hide that he’s having fun . Like chill boy nobody will figure out you have a heart deep inside. He has the classic itoshi resting bitch face but you can see the shine in his eyes as you two chatted
YUKIMIYA ; unlike the guy above, he genuinely doesn’t wants to be here; some lameass “party” full of boasting business man and agencies trying to make contracts with him, only thing that’s making this tolerable is you next to him, talking shit about everyone around behind their backs. After a hour you two can’t stand it and went to hide in the balcony instead
OTHERS ;; aiku , OTOYA , karasu , kaiser
Tumblr media
THE SHUT-IN ;; these guys…they would rather be in house than outside in halloween, it’s either that they hate it or just don’t have any spirits. Well you can still have fun I guess (IM SORRY I just love halloween and hate just ins okay)
NAGI ; halloween? Isn’t that the holiday where you go around to get candy? You can’t believe him. This guy says he forgot today was halloween, and all the costume ideas you sent him were just your weird fashion sense…or so he says but you can see the little cape and paper fangs he put on Choki and the games he picked for the two of you suspiciously revolve around monster and horror themes…maybe he has spiritus after all
RIN ; for halloween he invited you over to his house for a horror movie marathon. even if you might’ve said you don’t like horror movies his judgmental look(and words) made you come. And you’ve never seen someone watch a horror with a face as straight as his, the only emotion he shows is the small smile he has when he turns around to see you all snuggled up against him.
BAROU ; he…dislikes halloween to put simply. so when he invited you over he was just thinking about hogging you all to himself what he didn’t expect was for you to come over with a bunch of costumes and candy. So now he is sitting there, letting you add to his new halloween look. No he doesn’t enjoys this. He is just being forced to this…by invisible forces and the smile you have
OTHERS ;; chigiri , kurona , GAGAMARU , NIKO

" cause you got me good and i wanna be ya boo / if it's dumb, well, i wanna be a fool "
⤿ blue lock boys down bad! (crushing hcs), ‘x reader’
⤿ warnings : none!
Tumblr media
I GET SO SHY, IT’S OBVIOUS! enamored by you and doesn’t hide it – or rather, can’t hide it. he might stutter and turn red if he looks you in the eyes too long or awkwardly, but endearingly, compliment you any chance he gets. he feels his face burn after offering a polite remark and hopes you don’t notice (but knows that you do). he doesn’t know where to begin with approaching you, but he’ll trip over his own feet if it means making you crack a smile.
isagi, nikko, nanase, TOKIMITSU, ness, zantetsu
SHOOT, I’M READY, AIM AND FIRE! smooth like butter… or so he’d like to think. has had his fair share of crushes, now familiar with the sensation of budding feelings. slings an arm around you, offers to buy you snacks, notices your new haircut. all coy smiles and flirty lines, that charming bastard. casually asks you to hang out, just you and him. no, he’s not blushing. not at all. match his forwardness with your own and watch his confidence falter. he’s already fallen for you, but he swears he just fell harder.
OTOYA, karasu, kaiser, oliver, reo, sendo, lavinho
GOTTA GET TO KNOW YOU MORE! friends to lovers. he’s the type to take it slow, preferring to get to know you rather than leading with a confession. strikes up a conversation, walks with you between classes, and insists his music taste is better than yours (it’s not). the friendship comes naturally; he starts to seek your company, your laughing fits, and your banter. he’s content with testing the waters for now, hoping one day you’ll dive in with him.
yukimiya, aryu, kurona, HIORI, chigiri, noa, agi, julien, kunigami
YOU’VE STOLEN MY HEART! your biggest fanboy. totally not obvious about it though – definitely not! showers you with praise and attention. loves hearing you laugh and making you smile. he’s your hype man, your cheerleader, your not-so-secret admirer. doesn’t expect you to return his feelings, he’s just happy to be by your side. you’ve got him wrapped around your finger.
bachira, shidou, GAGAMARU, naruhaya, raichi, prince
WHAT’S YOUR INTENTION? keeps his distance. whether it’s because of insecurity or a distaste for romantic involvement, he doesn’t make any advancements. brushes you off when you try to speak to him, avoids eye contact, or might sneak a glance at you but avert his eyes when you look his way. wouldn’t go out of his way to be rude, he’d rather just wait until his feelings subside. it’s just too cliché, he won’t say he’s in love.
BAROU, rin, nagi, sae
Tumblr media
the feels – twice

Character themes? Character themes! I don't know if any of y'all have a process with OC playlists, but mine is literally just throwing anything with the OC's vibe into their music collection and then forgetting I have a playlist at all.
Doesn't help that I hit a massive creativity roadblock earlier this year.
But I was inspired by a post from @archaiclumina, and the resulting itch never quite went away. So here are some instrumental tracks that hit the OC vibes just right...
Yein Que-Sae
Tumblr media
Despite their intimidating size and appearance, Yein is typically very polite and friendly to others. When they speak, their voice rolls forth in a low, comforting growl -- a gentle rumble reminiscent of smooth river rocks tumbling over each other.
Yein is no stranger to the ugliness of the star, and it's ravaged their appearance. Even so, they are sworn to preserve and honor the sanctity of all life. To achieve this, they greet the world they have devoted themself to with an open heart. They give their love to others freely, in spite of all their fears and their pain. In combat, they will raise their shield before they draw their sword.
Yein is a fighter, and this is how they fight.
Sacheo Maz-Yeh
Tumblr media
Sacheo loves his sibling, but he is very much not like them. Here is a gaping wound of a man, a scar upon the aetheric tapestry woven into the world.
Anyone with special sight can see the rot he has allowed to spread across his own heart. His sorrow runs deep, and rather than try to heal from it, he's nurtured it with poison until it grew into an unquenchable rage. He wields this rage expertly, however, and directs it at (perceived) threats against himself and his clan.
To his credit, Sacheo is an effective protector. For him, no sacrifice is too great.
Lia A’yue-Len
Tumblr media
House Amedelune is built upon the A'yue-Len bloodline and their enduring legacy of survival. Little of the old clan remains today except for Lia and the family she guides with her iron fist.
The youngest of her generation, she was determined since her youth to carve for herself a life that could be lived on her own terms. She has shed the blood of many to achieve this; her spear knows the taste of dragon and elezen flesh very well.
Currently, Lia remains the head of House Amedelune and continues gazing ahead into the future. After all, the present is fleeting.
I do have a few other OCs floating around, but these three are kind of the "mains" in my head. Hope you enjoyed.

Flowers in Your Hair
Late Spring 1/?
You’re On Your Own 2/?
3/?
Warnings: sae loves his brother, friends conspire, and a challenger appears
Word Count: ~1900
In the days following the Itoshi family’s visit, your parents berate you for not having told them more about your friends.
“What was I supposed to say? ‘Mom, Dad. My newest friends are globally-known professional players.’”
“Yes, exactly that.”
“I didn’t even find out until much after.”
“How did you not know? You said it yourself, it was obvious.”
Their questions are fair, but you still find yourself pouting on the couch.
“I’m sorry,” you sigh.
“It’s just, I stopped paying attention to anything soccer for a long time.” Nearly seven years of blatantly ignoring the topic.
The situation clicks for your mother, realizing when exactly it was that you’d slowly stopped wearing your favorite jerseys and how those team posters were replaced by idol groups you didn’t even listen to.
“Oh, sweetheart,” she cups your cheeks and presses her lips to your forehead.
She’ll explain the situation to your confused father later.
“It’s alright, we’re just glad that you’ve made new friends.”
-
Sae visits once more before you leave.
“Mom wanted me to drop this off.”
He stands under the door frame of your entrance, in his hand a plastic bag that he lifts in your direction.
“Thanks, I guess.”
Your parents aren’t home, both of them left an hour earlier to do some grocery shopping.
“Wanna come in?”
The bag is now in your hands (you hope it contains Mrs. Itoshi’s famous sponge cake).
“No.”
You’re in no rush to urge him out, it seems like he has something on his mind. He has that cross look on his face, like he’d rather be anywhere but here. And while that is likely, it's also the same face he makes when he’s not sure of himself.
“You changed your number.”
“Yeah, once I started paying my own phone.”
He hums to himself.
Face no longer tense he leans back stretching his arms.
“See you around then.”
And just like that he’s turning around and walking away with his hands in his pockets and an air of satisfaction in every step.
-
When Sae makes it home he greets his parents.
In the same breath he turns to his recently arrived brother and insults him.
“Lukewarm.”
He calmly walks out of the room unbothered by the sounds of Rin’s irritated response.
-
By the time you return to Tokyo, Isagi has given an exact location for New Year’s Eve lunch and you find it’s been scheduled a day early. It gives everyone plenty of time to make it home to their loved ones on the 31st but is also close enough to be legitimately called a New Year’s celebration.
All together, the matter is a small celebration.  Or at least as small as a celebration can get with such large personalities.
Aside from all those you’d already met you were introduced to Chigiri’s significant other and more of Isagi’s teammates (along with their invited guests).
For a decent amount of time you’re locked in conversation with Yukimiya. You trade the names of your favorite novels and your interpretations of them. This slowly evolves into sharing your music tastes, a running list of new recommendations added to each of your phone’s notes.
“If you had to pick one, at this exact moment, what would it be?”
He asks a near impossible question to answer.
“Just one?”
“Just one song.”
“If we were vampires.”
“American?”
“Mhm.”
“Hmm,” it’s inquisitive in nature.
You’re sure he’s evaluating how it is that you came to that decision.
“Favorite lyric?”
He’s begun to lean forward, arm resting on the table in front of him and head on his palm.
“Maybe time running is out is a gift,” replicating his posture as you answer.
You don’t know what about, but he laughs.
You take no offense to it.
“Now, my turn.”
“Absolutely.”
“What kind of tea do soccer players drink?”
-
Two day’s later you receive a notification on social media.
You’ve been tagged in a new photo. It’s a picture that Isagi had asked the wait staff to take of you all. Everyone’s smushed together, arms around each other and all smiles. Privately, you message Isagi for a copy of the photo.
An hour later your phone pings again.
New Follow Requests:
‘@itoshi_rin_, @sae and 328 others’
You accept.
-
You don’t have to confront the situation until you’re twenty-four.
The day of your birthday your inbox is full of well-wishes that you still haven’t finished going through.
You held off until your lunch break to look at them, your parents had made sure to reach out before you left for work so you’ve left your phone on silent up until now.
Aoi’s tagged you in a post (a collection of your greatest photos since university), Isagi’s texted you (going so far as to send you a gift card for your favorite restaurant), and Bachira’s sent you a paragraph of emojis (if translated properly it indicates that he too is wishing you a happy birthday). Nagi messages you through a gaming platform to inform you that your gift is behind schedule and should arrive some time soon.
However, the most surprising of your messages comes in as you're wrapping up your break. Three simple letters, entirely unexpected appear in your direct messages.
sae:
‘hbd.’
The message, so profoundly Sae, makes you laugh. An entirely unexpected but not uninvited aspect to your day that you’ll be sure to mention to Aoi the next time you meet with her. You spend the rest of your shift planning your dinner.
-
You’re twenty-four for hardly nineteen and a half hours.
Takeout is on its way, the newest episode of your favorite show is on the TV and you’re lounging in the most comfortable of your outfits. The ringing of your phone times perfectly with a lag on the streaming service, your TV’s silence allowing you to redirect your attention.
The number is registered as private and unlikely to be a scam call, so you answer.  Only to hear... nothing.
The other end is silent.
“Who is this?”
For a moment you think it must be a prank call, until you hear the muffled sounds of someone’s name called.
It must be a wrong dial.
At least, that’s what you assume until the voice on the other end calls back to whoever is around. The receiver still picks up the sound and it causes your ear to ache.
Finally, they address you.
“Sorry.”
And then the abrupt end of the call.
You know for certain now, it was no mistake.
-
“Let me get this straight. You’re calling me to let me know you called ‘em?”
Sae is only met with his brother’s silence.
“And all you said was ‘sorry’.”
Rin still doesn’t respond.
“So lukewarm.”
-
Signs begin to float around everywhere.
You’ve been twenty-four for seven weeks and you’ve heard mention of Itoshi Rin more in that time than you have in the six years before.
A new line of sports gear dons his name, you see the adverts on your way to and from work. Aoi’s marketing firm is in charge of those very same adverts and now she even wears the same brand shoes and windbreaker. Nagi who’s found himself comfortable enough to bring up his line of work has dropped Rin’s name quite a few times when recalling teenage memories or upcoming game match ups. Even your father let his name slip into conversation last week when you’d called asking for help with a recipe.
“That was yours and Rin’s favorite food. He could never come over without us making some.”
And while every cosmic sign is begging you to call him back, you remember that you’re only strangers now.
-
“Have you considered a career change?”
Aoi’s question is redundant.
This time of the month is always busy and she can always sense how on edge you are. Instead of answering you continue typing an email response to your colleague who’s asking one too many questions about a process you’ve explained one too many times. Before clicking send, you debate whether or not to italicize the “as per my last email” at the beginning. In the end you don’t.
“I’m sorry,” you return to your attention to your friend, shutting the laptop for the remainder of the evening.
“You work harder than you ought to.”
Aoi’s always the first to come at your defense.
“Gotta pay the bills somehow,” the words dry on your tongue.
You don’t mind the work… for the most part.
“Didn’t you ever have like a dream job, something not so… corporate?”
Part of you wonders if she’s lost any sense of self-awareness.
“Aoi, you work in marketing.”
“That doesn’t answer my question.”
“Did you?”
“Yeah.”
“And what was it?”
“Being a princess.”
“How’s that working out for you?”
Your friends pouts in her seat, arms folding across her chest.
You laugh and decide to answer her question, “Yeah, a professional fan.”
“So, a cheerleader.”
“Mmm, no,” you correct, “more like those kids who paint their face with their team colors and wear the hats and jerseys.”
-
“If you lean forward any more security will think you’re trying to jump onto the pitch.”
“Shit!”
Your feet nearly slip out from under you, hands grasping for the railing in the midst of your fright. At the same time you hear the quickened pace of steps behind you, ready to help you up. While arms reach for your shoulders to stabilize you, you swat them away.
“‘m fine.”
“Sorry ‘bout that.”
You hear the smile in his voice, confirming it only when you finally look at him.
“That was pretty mean of you, Kenyu.”
When his smirk grows at your remark, you realize your mistake.
“Are we on a first name basis already?”
His tone teasing now.
Rather than respond you turn back to the pitch, looking out at the new athletes who have joined on the field for the training camp.
“Why aren’t you out there?”
Yukimiya takes his place next to you, also leaning against the railing.
“It’s a recovery day for me.”
You simply hum in response.
“Are you still showing me around Paris tomorrow?”
“‘f course.”
Nagi’s gift to you had indeed been late. Apparently he’d been in cahoots with Isagi and Aoi (how he got her number, you have no clue) to ship you off to Europe for a vacation. Originally, Isagi was meant to be your tour guide throughout the French country. The trip had been planned to coincide with the German teams training camp in French territory. However, at the last minute Isagi was scheduled for a press conference and meetings with brands. After hearing Isagi voice his concern, Yukimiya had stepped up as your your guide.
When you asked for his reasoning his response had been, “who else do you know with more experience?”
There were a couple of names that came to mind, but none of them realistic options. So, you kept your mouth shut and thanked him instead.
Yet, now you were looking forward to whatever he might have planned for tomorrow.
“Are we meeting for breakfast?” you ask innocently.
“Mm, yeah.  There’s a nice place I think you’d enjoy.”
He follows up with his own pondering, “Has Yoichi mentioned any dinner plans for tonight?”
You're tracking the movement on the field and answer distractedly, “Mhm, something about a place a friend showed him once.”
There’s no further conversation, just your short mutterings and comments on the drills in front of you. And while you’re too busy assessing Kaiser’s form, you miss the way that Yukimiya’s gaze focuses on you and how his grin only widens at your intense focus.

Once in a while I get the terrible urge to share that my taste in music is even weirder than my taste in fiction. (What's a random American gal with no English/Scottish/Irish heritage doing listening mostly to songs like these? Blame my parents for raising me on murder ballads and ceilidh tunes.) So here is:
A Vaguely Whumptober-Themed Anthology of Folk Songs from the British Isles / Transatlantic Tradition: Part 1
1) "But now this room is spinning while I'm just trying to fill in all the gaps" / Swooning: Plains of Waterloo
Listen to my favorite recordings here: X X
How to make sure your girl still loves you, according to folklore: tell her you're dead and see if she faints
2) "I'll call out your name, but you won't call back" / Delirium: Battle of Waterloo
Listen to my favorite recording here: X
Jeannie, oh Jeannie, I am surely done Stricken doon in battle at the mooth o' Boney's guns Jeannie, oh Jeannie, aye sae dear tae me Let me hold you in my mind afore I dee
3) "Like crying out in empty rooms, with no one there except the moon": Anderson's Coast
Listen to my favorite recording here: X
A tale of tragedy upon tragedy during the Transportations
We stole a vessel and all her gear And where are you, my Annie? And from Van Dieman's we north did steer 'Till Bass Strait's wild waves wrecked us here Oh Annie dear, don't wait for meI fear I shall not return to theeThere's not to do but endure my fate, And watch the moon, the lonely moon, light the breakers on wild Bass Strait
4) "I see the danger, it's written there": Sir Patrick Spens

A shipwreck song
The king he wrote a broad letter and he sealed it with his hand And sent it to Sir Patrick Spens, walking out on the strand: "To Norway, to Norway, to Norway o'er the foam With all my lords and finery, to bring my new bride home" The first line that Sir Patrick read, he gave a weary sigh The next line that Sir Patrick read, the salt tear blinds his eye Oh who is it, oh who is it, who told the king of me To set us out this time of year to sail across the sea...
5) "You better hope I don't get up this time" : El Fusilado
Listen to my favorite recording here: X
Stretching the music genre and the prompt a bit here, but this is a great cover by a band that does a lot of traditional folk, and I feel like surviving a firing squad is 1) folk-song worthy and 2) enough to make anyone think twice about messing with you
6) "Do or die, you'll never make me, because the world will never take my heart": Tam Lin
Listen to my favorite recording here: X
One of the better-known English ballads. The intrepid heroine goes someplace she shouldn't, meets an elfin knight, falls in love with him, learns that he his a changeling held captive by the fae, and braves the wrath of the Faerie Queen to save her love from becoming the faeries' Halloween sacrifice
7) "Can you hear me?": Springhill Mining Disaster
Listen to my favorite recordings here: X X (cw: real event still within living memory)
Listen for the shouts of the dark-faced miners Listen through the rubble for the rescue teams Three hundred tons of coal and slag Hope imprisoned in a three-foot seam
8) "I have a soul, but I'm not a soldier" / All for nothing: Green Fields of France

Well the sorrow, the suffering, the glory, the pain The killing and dying, were all done in vain For, young Willie McBride, it's all happened again And again, and again, and again, and again
9) Mistaken Identity: Bonnie Banks of Fordie
Listen to my favorite recording here: X (cw: suicide mentioned)
An old ballad that gets darker the more you think about it
Gae tell tae me your brither's name My brither's name it's Babylon... Oh sister, what hae I done tae thee Hae I done this dreadful thing tae thee...
10) Stranded: The Golden Vanity
Listen to my favorite recording here: X
A tale of a tragic hero and a cruel ship's captain
Quickly he swam back, to the cheering of the crew But the captain did not heed him, for his promise he did rue And he scorned his poor entreatings when loudly he did sue And he left him in the Lowland Sea

There's mony a ane for him maks mane But nane sall ken whaur he is gane O'er his white banes when they are bare The wind sall blaw forevermair
12) "I haven't slept in days, but who's counting?" / I'm up, I'm up: Off to Sea Once More
Listen to my favorite recordings here: X X
Whaling was not a fun time
Some times we're catching whales, me lads, some times we're catching none With a twenty-foot oar stuck in your paw, from four o'clock in the morn And as the shades of night roll on and you rest on your weary oar, It was then that I wished that I was dead and could go to sea no more
13) "I don't feel so good": Lord Randall
Listen to my favorite recordings here: X X X
One of the better-known English ballads. A tale of deadly betrayal: A young man returning home at the end of the day thinks he just inordinately tired. A more careful accounting of the day's events reveals the terrible truth. Versions vary as to who did the deed, but the young lord's fate is always the same.
14) Just Hold On: Skye Boat Song

Some of you may recognize the tune. The traditional lyrics memorialize the aftermath of the Jacobite defeat at Culloden
Burned are their homes, exile and death scatter the loyal men Yet ere the sword cool in the sheath, Charlie will come again

Now you'll take off your white Holland shirt An' teer it frae gore* tae gore An' you will bind my deadly wounds That they might bleed no more So he's ta'en off his white Holland shirt An' he's torn it frae gore tae gore An' though he's bound his deadly wounds Ah, they bled ten times more *seam

Whether you and him have similar tastes in music or completely different ones, you listen to at least 2-3 songs he hates. He would never put it on himself and is only slightly appalled you find it as enjoyable as you do. However, if you do so happen to choose to listen to that song when and where he can also hear it (like the car, house speakers, etc) he will let you keep it playing on one condition:
you sing along, word for word (or at least as well as you can).
Kageyama Tobio, Katsuki Bakugo, Kuroo Tetsurou, TSUKISHIMA KEI, Rin Itoshi, Chigiri Hyoma, Sae Itoshi, any of your other faves <333
