I’ve Been Reincarnated Into The Male Lead! (Part 3)

Malleus Draconia x Gn!Reader - Isekai AU

I’m back finally, this will probably be quite short but whatever part 1, part 2, masterlist

Malleus followed you. He couldn’t help himself. To him, you are the brightest lantern on a moonless night. He would be the butterfly that can’t help but be enticed and drawn to you. But you were quick. Just as he reached you, you were in a room with the door already closed.

“Insolent child!” Malleus pauses, quickly noticing it’s not your voice. Instead, it was your father’s. “How can you not do the one thing I ask of you?!”

“But-”

“Shut up! You had a chance to do it!” Your father hisses. “My brother was an idiot, having a child with a commoner. I suppose, if he couldn’t do anything right, neither could his child.”

“Hey-!”

Slap. Your face stings, and your voice goes silent.

"Now, there will be consequences for this failure and disobedience."

Your 'father' pauses. "You and Prince Malleus will have tea together in three days. I think you know what I expect to happen." As he says that, he takes out a small vial. Though it’s far away, Malleus knows what’s inside. Poison.

Malleus wants to go in, to hug and save you from that monster of a 'father'. But he heard Sebek, one of his bodyguards, who despite having trust in you, very little, little trust, would arrest you(and your father) for treason. So Malleus leaves before he can be spotted.

When Malleus took you to look at the stars that night he saw your injury, he tried to comfort you. He also wanted to ask many questions and questions. Varying from ‘Has everything been fake?’ or ‘Are you okay?’ and ‘Will you really kill him?..’

Over the next three days, Malleus does several things. 1) Not tell Lilia about the assassination. 2) Try to keep you away from your ‘father’ and at the palace. 3) Clean up the ball, and finally…. 4) Prepare to be poisoned and meet the female lead..

When it was time for you and Malleus to have tea, he was prepared. While saddened at what he knew what was going to happen, he was still grateful to see you. You had been avoiding him. His eyes light up as he sees you, though they dim slightly as he sees your father is escorting you. Your ‘father’’s grip on your shoulder seems tighter than usual. While Malleus is trying to not swat that traitorous hand straight off your shoulder.

“Why are you here, Duke?” Malleus asked coldly.

“I’m just here to look after my lovely child.” Your ‘father’ said ‘lovely’ as if he was trying to convince himself as well.

“I’m sorry, but you weren’t invited. Now why don’t you leave before you offend me more than you have already.” Malleus ordered. With that, your ‘father’ stepped out, seething at the power Malleus has over him. Malleus then showed you to the flower gardens, where there was a table and chairs set up.

As you and Malleus sat down and started a conversation, he notices that you seem upset.

“Are you okay?”

“Hm?” You seem slightly surprised that he asks “Just…looking at the flowers.” You gesture to the plethora of different colored flowers surrounding you and Malleus.

“They are quite beautiful, aren’t they?” Malleus responds, looking around at the flora, calmly smiling.

“Yes, they are.” You answer, still not meeting his eyes. Despite you avoiding his initial question, he doesn’t press on.

Malleus then picks up his tea cup, realizing the tea had been delivered. He blows on it slightly, as to not burn his tongue. He realizes something.

“Hm? The tea must have been placed when we were looking at the flowers, it’s not as hot as it usually is.”

“Yes, it must have been.” You murmur quietly, glancing down nervously at your cup of tea.

“Cheers.” Malleus holds up his tea cup.

You pause, then a small smile creeps upon your face. “Cheers.”

The two of you clink the glasses together and then put them to your lips. As Malleus takes a sip of his tea, he waits for the pain to hit. A whole paragraph was used in the original book to explain how the excruciating the pain was. Not looking forward to ‘it felt like the world was shutting down, and that everything inside was failing.’ But nothing..?

He’s then looks up at you and sees blood dripping from your mouth. Though a hand covers it, it also seems to be trying to keep in the coughs that bring the blood with it. But instead of a look of fear in your eyes, like the look in Malleus’, there is only sadness and resignation. Malleus’ felt like his world was shutting down as he saw you collapse to the floor, with an empty tea cup..

Yeah, surprisingly, I’m not dead. This is really short(I’m sorry), but I’m surprised I actually got this much done. Again, sorry if characters are ooc and hope you enjoyed.

Wine Valentine - Ammon story pt.1 & pt.2

The day after The Valentine's party ended successfully.

While I was resting in my room I remembered the time I spent with Ammon...

A few days ago a party was held at Grosvenor's house...

I was visiting a party venue that Ammon and the others were preparing.

Ammon: So..! Will the wall decorations look like this?

You: Things are going well, aren't they?

Ammon: That's right. We have also decided on which food and wine will be served.

Ammon: The preparations are almost finished. I'll have some spare time.

You: Right.

Ammon: Ah, also. As we've come to Grosvenor's mansion...

Ammon: Aruji-sama. Should we take a walk in the garden?

You: Eh..?

Ammon: I took a glimpse at it as I was preparing for the party. It was a lovely garden.

Ammon: There aren't many chances to visit Grosvenor's garden. I'll make sure to escort aruji-sama properly♪

Ammon: So, aruji-sama... Will you spend some time with me?

You: That seems a bit intimate...

Ammon: Isn't that good..? There's no one here now.

Hanamaru: ... We are literally here?

Ammon: Oh? If it isn't Hanamaru-san.

Hanamaru: Don't "oh" me. We've been here from the very beginning.

Ammon: Hehe. My bad~

Ammon: There's only lord in my eyes...

Bastien: Hm... That's not good, Ammon-san.

Bastien: As aruji-sama's butler... You should always be aware of your surroundings.

Ammon: Are you serious, Bastien..

Yuhan: Fufu... I also don't think that it's good to keep things all to yourself, Ammon-san.

Lato: Me too... I also want to walk alone with aruji-sama.

Ammon: Hehe. Well, I guess I can't just monopolize aruji-sama~

Ammon: The Valentine's Day is almost there... I feel like spending some romantic time with aruji-sama.

You: "Romantic time" you say...

Ammon: Huh? After all, that's what the Valentine's day is about?

Hanamaru: Oh my... Don't just say that, Ammon. We're all holding back here.

Hanamaru: Isn't this right, everyone? We all want to be romantic with aruji-sama?

Yuhan: Now, what is it? I'm a well-mannered butler.

Hanamaru: Liar. For those who say that, it's better...

Yuhan: ...Better..? What is it?

Hanamaru: Nothing.

You: (I wonder what it was...)

Yuhan: Right. By the way, Ammon-san...

Yuhan: As the food and drinks were decided... How about to choose flowers to decorate the room?

Ammon: Right, flowers...

Ammon: In the eastern land... There's a custom to arrange flowers, right?

Lato: Arranging... flowers?

Ammon: Right. It's a bit different in Central land.

Ammon: Combined with a beautiful vase... A well-thought-out beauty.

Yuhan: Yeah. I think it's suitable for Central land.

Yuhan: Aside from ikebana, I think that "Chabana"(?) would also be good.

You: -Chabana...?

-( There are even tea flowers....)

Bastien: Chabana... That's the first time I heard about it.

Ammon: In short, tea flowers are the flowers that are displayed in the tea room.

Ammon: Rather than ikebana, it puts more emphasis on being natural. Seasonality of flowers is also the key.

Ammon: For example, fresh windflowers picked up in nature.

Hanamaru: Heh, as expected from Ammon. You know everything about flowers.

Ammon: Hehe. Well, not that I've done it myself. I just have this knowledge.

Ammon: But, I see. Chabana...

Ammon: In Grosvenor's garden flowers are grown in flower beds. Besides, there are windflowers...

Ammon: It might be interesting to try.

Ammon: That's why I need everyone to quickly pick up some flowers!

You: Eh, now?

Bastien: Looking for flowers..? I'm not sure which I should choose....

Ammon: That's okay. Even if the flower seems simple, that's its charm.

Bastien: I see. Then, Ammon-san will...?

Ammon: I'll arrange the vase.

Ammon: I'll prepare the vase that perfectly matches the atmosphere of Eastern land.

Ammon: I'll bring the catalog... I'd like to hear aruji-sama's opinion.

You: Mine?

Ammon: Of course. You're the guest at the party, after all.

Ammon: I don't think it'll be too difficult. Don't worry too much♪

You: Understood.

Bastien: I see.. I'll leave it to Ammon-san then.

Yuhan: Then, aruji-sama. Please, excuse me for a moment.

You: Mm, good luck.

The butlers bowed. They left me alone with Ammon as they left to pick up the windflowers.

Ammon: They're gone....

You: Let's choose the vase together.

Ammon: Oh-ho? What did you say, aruji-sama?

Ammon: What vase? I've already put one in another room next to ours. (This dude---)

You: Eh...?

Ammon: Hehe. Which flowers would decorate the venue have been decided in advance.

Ammon: We have arranged the perfect tableware... The only thing to do was to decorate it with flowers.

Ammon: Everyone decided to collect flowers by themselves.. I just went along with that♪

You: But, what for..?

Ammon: Hehe. That would be...

Ammon: I will spend some private time with aruji-sama♪

Ammon: Speaking of The Valentine's day... You need to spend time with your loved ones.

Ammon: And speaking of my loved ones, it's aruji-sama, of course.

Ammon: We have delicious wine here...

Ammon: With important to me person... Drinking wine, while being surrounded by beautiful flowers...

Ammon: Well, the flowers are still to be here. While aruji-sama is here, that's already enough.

Ammon: Hehe. What about aruji-sama?

Ammon: With your loved one... You don't want to loose romantic time, do you..?

You: Teasing me like that again...

Ammon: Teasing..? I'm being honest, aruji-sama.

Ammon: The words of feeling the importance of aruji-sama... There's not even a single lie.

Ammon: Thinking how to spend more alone time with aruji-sama... As a result, I alienated other butlers.

Ammon: Hey... What are the true intentions of aruji-sama..?

Ammon: For someone like me... Is it okay to tell my true feelings..?

You: A-Ammon..

I was fully aware that it was the part of his strategy, but... When I look in those serious eyes... I can't help but speak my true feelings.

Lato: Kufufu... That's it, Ammon-kun.

You: !?

Ammon: Oh? Isn't that Lato-san?

Ammon: And everyone else... Have you already finished picking the flowers up?

Hanamaru: No. Actually, we were interrupted by the guard.

Yuhan: He said that the flowers were needed to decorate the party venue...

Yuhan: "You can't pick these flowers! Go to a flower shop!" is what he said...

Yuhan: Jeez.. That's a real problem for those, who can't understand simple beauty.

Bastien: Since we had no other choice, we decided to come back.

Hanamaru: Hehe. Looks like we made the right decision.

Hanamaru: Had it been a bit later, Ammon would pick the most beautiful flower.

Ammon: No wa~y, Hanamaru-san. Don't say such bad things about me.

Ammon: I just wanted to enjoy the atmosphere of The Valentine's day. Surely, aruji-sama would understand that it's just for fun♪

Hanamaru: However, why is aruji-sama's face so red?

Lato: It's good that there are vases in other room.

You: U-Uhm...

Ammon: Alright, everyone! There's a little time left to prepare for the party.

Ammon: Let's all work hard to collect the most beautiful flowers♪

Hanamaru: Ah. Changing the topic.

Yuhan: Fufu. But Ammon-san is right.

Yuhan: Since we have time... Let's all work hard to make the best pre-party.

Bastien: Yeah.. That's right.

So I watched as Ammon and the others decorated the venue... I wonder whether Ammon was serious or not earlier...

***

"So that's how it is" I thought as I flipped through the wine catalog. Ammon was very hospitable at the pre-party... Now, it's my turn to repay him. I bought him wine from Rosetown... And for Ammon... I prepared his favorite cheese. Being happy with him... I wanted to express it in a gift.

Knock knock.

You: Come in.

Ammon: As I said, I came alone, aruji-sama~

Ammon: I heard that you wanted to do something...

Ammon: Hehe. Maybe it has to do something with The Valentine's day~?

You: I want to give this to you.

Ammon: Eh? This is...

Ammon: Wine..? And, could it be..

Ammon: Really... Could it be a Valentine's gift?

You: - That's right.

- Thank you, Ammon.

Ammon: Hehe. Thank you, aruji-sama.

Ammon: This is... Rosetown's wine, right?

You: Apparently it goes well with cheese.

Ammon: Really? You've adapted it to my taste!

You: If you'd like, you can drink now.

When I said that, Ammon sat at the table I had prepared in advance. He took the empty glass and some cheese.

Ammon: Hehe... I had never thought that I would spend The Valentine's day with aruji-sama...

Ammon: Of course, I'll drink some! Because everything is delicious when I'm with aruji-sama.

Ammon: So, excuse me...

As Ammon pour some wine into the glass, he fully enjoys the scent. As he takes one sip... He takes some time to enjoy the taste.

Ammon: ... It's delicious, aruji-sama.

Ammon: The moment you open the bottle, there's a faint fragrance...

Ammon: It felt like flowers had bloomed in my mouth.

Ammon: Aruji-sama's feelings... They feel like flowers with no thorns.

Ammon: Hehe. I can't believe you gave me such a wonderful present...

Ammon: Really... Aruji-sama likes me♪

As usual, Ammon says something that is hard for me to respond to... But today I was a little braver than usual.

You: I really do.

Ammon: Eh...

You: I want you to continue being by my side.

Ammon: Erm... Aruji-sama...

Ammon: That's... Could it be....

Ammon: The revenge for pre-party time?

You: Did your heart flutter...?

Ammon: Hehe. It pretty much did♪

Ammon: I've never expected it from aruji-sama...

Ammon: But... If you allow me to give you a piece of advice...

Ammon: Don't you think the main part was revealed a little bit too early?~

Ammon: If only you could make me more nervous... It'd be more interesting~

You: I'm nothing like Ammon...

Ammon: Hehe. Well, I'm a pro in this sphere.

Ammon: ( Although, if I was more nervous... I doubt that I'd be able to restrain myself...)

You: What's wrong?

Ammon: N-No... Nothing!

Ammon: Spending The Valentine's day with aruji-sama is the best... I had to clench my teeth.

Ammon: Well then. We have wine and cheese...

Ammon: Just a little bit longer... Is it okay if I spend some more time being happy? Aruji-sama...

You: Of course.

Although I said something like that to make Ammon's heart flutter, I had to gather all my courage up.... I had to back up... I was more nervous, than I thought I'd be. And now... I wonder if Ammon always harbors feelings like that. While I was thinking about it... I spent some time with Ammon on The Valentine's day.

THE END.

a/n: I really hope you don't mind my adapted translation because holy shit the translation of translator is something. also, please don't mind any grammatical errors, it's literally like midnight and I suck at grammar. hope y'all enjoyed seeing blushing ammon. (because i really did)

Q&A Corner: Learn more about the dorm!

Q1: On the first date, where do you want to go?

Aira: I want to bring my date to see the lottery premiere of my favorite movie! To bring us closer and learn more about each other, won't that be the perfect chance?

Eichi: You would want to make a good memory of your first date, right. How about letting me bring my date to a place that has beautiful scenery they can enjoy freely?

Rei: I will invite my date to my favorite jazz club. We can enjoy an atmosphere that's different from normal life, and they can listen to my favorite songs ♪

Here is a graph for their first date question! All of them are indoor-type, but Aira and Rei really like to be inside. Rei and Eichi are more of the leading type, with Eichi leading more than Rei, while Aira likes to enjoy the time together!

Q2: Your favorite subject?

Aira: I got bad grades, so I don't really have a favorite subject. It would be great if all the classes turned into idols' lessons, I wish.

Eichi: When studying, I don't confine my range of knowledge but try to master a lot of different fields and learn every day. You can say that every subject is my favorite.

Rei: No matter if it is an art class or a science lesson, I'm good at every subject ♪ However, when you talk about my knowledge, I feel that I have been accumulating more humanities knowledge.

You can see here that Eichi and Rei are on the same spectrum of being good at literary subjects and both have good grades. They also overlap each other and it depends on the idol you pick first that you will see that Rei or Eichi has better grades. While Aira is bad at studying, but he can do okay in science class.

Note:

They are on the same level of academic grades and both are good at art subjects. In the original, they overlap each other.

Because both Rei and Eichi are in the same spot, so it depends on your order when picking your favorites, their position on the ‘Good grades’ axis will change.

In the second chart without the original position, the blue line is the position of the first idol you pick (in my case, I picked Eichi first). The red line is the position of the second idol you pick (in my case, I picked Rei second).

The image when you pick Rei first belongs to childeslav on Twitter/X. Sorry for the broken pixels but I had to rescale it to make the comparison.

Q3: As a member of your unit, what was the last email you sent?

Aira: Our 'unit' talked about the next time going out together, about where we should go and I had sent a lot of suggestions. The four of us planned to discuss our destination and we would decide later!

Eichi: While we were contacting each other about our work, I had invited everyone to have tea with me. Instead of spending my time alone, spending it with everyone feels more relaxing.

Rei: I finished my work and I contacted everyone saying I would get some eye rest. And thanks to the message, Kaoru-kun had come and woken me up ♪

A graph showing the frequency of mailing and the content of their texting. Both Eichi and Rei don't text much while Aira texts a lot. Eichi texts seriously, and Aira often sends silly things. Rei is in the middle of them with both being silly and being serious.

Q4: Recently, what is the first thing you do after waking up?

Aira: I always unconsciously touch my smartphone. I'd get instantly wide awake whenever I find the merch I want is being sold on the flea market.

Eichi: I often check for the news or the received messages during my night sleep. I want to spend my time more leisurely, but when you are busy, time surely keeps flying away.

Rei: I first have to pick up my eye mask that has fallen on the ground. I use it so I can sleep better, but lately it keeps falling away.

A graph showing how they are going to wake up. Both Aira and Rei like to chill and can't get out of their bed. While Eichi is an early bird.

Q5: Why are you so cool?

Aira: It is a little bit embarrassing... Maybe it is because of 'ALKALOID''s color? I think it is possible that you can attract people with the color!

Eichi: Fufu, thank you for your praise. One can't let their fans see them in a disturbing appearance, and I want to look good naturally.

Rei: Being cute, being cool. It's only because I'm an idol that people give me the words of assessment for the ways I show myself ♪

Here is a graph to show you how they are going to react!

Aira isn't used to being praised and he gets embarrassed because of it, while both Eichi and Rei are used to it and happily receive the praise! The graph also shows Rei and Eichi are overlapping. Rei is used to being praised more than Eichi in this below comparison.

Becoming your ‘Favorites’ video messages!

Eichi: Yah, I am Tenshouin Eichi, the leader of 'fine'. I also work as a representative of STARMAKER PRODUCTION, every day I give my best effort to send the brilliance of idols to the world. Of course, as an idol myself, I don't forget to shine as brightly as I can. If you are intrigued, please come to my live and see my figure. After that, if you choose me to be your favorite, I promise I will show you what you want to see the most. If you are to support me, I will be overjoyed.

Aira: Hello! I am Shiratori Aira from 'ALKALOID'! I love, love, love idols so much, and I want to become the person who brings joy to others just like the idols I admire so much. I also am a fan, and I understand it is not easy to pick a person as your favorite... But please, please pick me as your favorite idol!

Rei: I'm Sakuma Rei, the leader of 'UNDEAD'. With this message, you have the chance to learn more about me, and I thank you for that. To learn about me, how about we talk about the thing I like? Firstly, I have a younger brother, who is the apple of my eye, my cute Ritsu. And I like to stroll around the garden too. Although I don't like to go out at the time when the sun is still high, and my heart feels at ease more when I walk around at quiet times like early morning or in the middle of the night... ♪ They are some basic things, but that's all. If you are going to support me I'm happy, but if you simply take an interest in UNDEAD then I also am thrilled ♪

FIRST DATE HEADCANNONS

part 2 here

pairing: jjk boys and men x gn!reader (Gojo, Nanami, Toji, Higuruma, Choso, Yuji, Megumi) genre: fluff, headcanons word count: 1,6 k cw: drinking for Higuruma part, otherwise none

Gojo:

ok so we know he’s a playful little shit

but I’d say lets dwell a little on the fact that he’s rich and eccentric, and also quite confident about his allure, so he wouldn’t throw himself out there to stun his date for life, no

he doesn’t attempt to impress anyone, it comes naturally

A board game date is my guess here. In Japan there’s this thing, an incense game box, which is a box assorted with incense and different traditional board games. So you basically play games and smell nice afterwards. Cute. 

He comes from a traditional family, he was raised in a conservative environment, and he’s introduced as someone who hates tradition, I know. 

But he doesn’t hate everything traditional, just the things that make little sense to him and are outdated, hence harmful in the modern world. 

His childhood actually might be filled with sweet memories of playing board games with his mentors, so he wouldn’t be opposed to such activity, turning it into a perfect idea for a calm, slow-paced first date. 

You two get to play a little and the environment isn’t too overstimulating, allowing you two to chat and get to know each other better. 

He gets to show off a little, just for his own sake. You get to have fun and rival him at something where his physical training and superpowers don’t give him an upper hand. Perfect fit! 

He’d also order some rare tea to go with an assortment of sweets of his personal choice. 

And contrary to the common belief, Gojo wouldn’t be trying to get into your pants on your first date, opting for a sweet innocent and intimate pastime. 

First date with Gojo would be expensive, relaxing and chill, definitely leaving behind a very good impression. 

Nanami:

This one is harder. Nanami is a man of class, so it would be absolutely normal for you to assume the standard restaurant date. But since he left his job as a broker, he tends to experiment with his lifestyle choices (like his outfit). 

So having that in mind we can guess he’d try something unexpected yet not too far out of his comfort zone. 

I’m thinking a bowling date, to be honest. 

It’s something low-risk, not very noisy, but also quite fun and challenging. It’s the perfect “I just always wanted to try this out” thing that’s both fun and safe enough to do with a person you want to charm. 

Also, given Nanami’s precision as a jujutsu sorcerer, he’d 100 percent be using the chance to impress you with his sniper aim. Not blatantly, but he’d pull a small smug grin every time you cheer him for a strike. 

He’s also probably the only person in the whole world to look good in bowling shoes, so why not use it?

Overall it’s the perfect ratio of fun and mature, and bowling leaves a pretty big room for conversation, so you’d get a sweet memorable first date experience. 

Toji:

Ok, we still have to keep the low-budget thing in mind. 

We also have to keep in mind how horny this guy is. 

But those two things absolutely don’t mean that he wouldn’t be trying to leave a good impression. He was raised as an outcast, a black sheep of Zenin’s, so I think he’d be happy to do something that earns him a little praise. 

He’d also want the date to have a finale that can leave room both for retreating and for proceeding to juicier activities if all goes well. 

Low-budget, low-key and heartfelt. Hmmmm. 

This guy has been around Japan a lot, chasing his targets like a shadow. He knows many beautiful secluded places and absolutely can come up with a stunning sight-seeing route of gardens, abandoned temples and uninhabited historic places. 

It’s cheap, since he only needs to splurge on train tickets and groceries for making snacks. It’s low-key, because what? You two are just walking around, maybe taking pictures of each other and some animals, and talking about everything and nothing at once. 

It’s romantic as hell, you have to appreciate the effort that came into planning. 

And all those gardens and beautiful secluded sights make for amazing kissing spots. No one is going to intrude on you trying to express your gratitude to him for being such a sweet thoughtful pea. 

Higuruma: 

Speaking from personal experience, I can tell that criminal lawyers drink a lot. Also, given how Higuruma takes on cases that are most likely pro bono, I’d say he isn’t exactly a guy with a bank. 

He’s a stressed fella, and would probably prefer a date where he doesn’t have to put too much thought in planning. At least on the first one. 

I see many people saying he’s like a Nanami 2.0, and I can’t say I totally agree with that. They have many things in common, yet are still very different and unique. 

He’d love to have a date where you two experience something and then discuss it over some alcohol, using the first part as an ice-breaker. 

So Kabuki theater? Oiran processions? Sumo fighting? 

Something of that sort. These things seem to be on the surface options, yet you get surprised when you’re asked to one. And they never fail to leave an impression that’s good enough to ignite a conversation further on.  

I believe he’d be hesitant to do his best at planning the first date since the idea that he has to be prepared if all goes to shit was branded into his DNA with his attorney practice years. He doesn’t want to get too invested at first, and opts for something mildly creative to test the waters. 

Yet he does want to leave a good impression himself, so expect the sake conversation to be fascinating. 

Yuji: 

My belief is that Yuji would be excited about any sort of idea you throw at him, but a dog cafe is the one to take the cake. 

Baby is no money, all love and all chat. 

He first considered taking you to the movies, but Nobara told him it’s lame and he shot his second idea at her, earning himself a surprised approval. 

It’s sweet because it’s puppies, it’s cheap because it’s just a cafe, and it makes for a perfect bonding experience and a conversation booster. What not to love?

You just have to make sure Yuji doesn’t try to steal a puppy as you two are leaving. 

He’d definitely be the one to suggest getting some food afterwards. I think he has a few homely spots in his mind where the food is cheap and the family business vibe is strong. 

He’d also walk you home even if that means he’ll have to make a long way back to jujutsu tech after. 

Give him a peck on the lips before he has to run off to the train station.

Overall it’s a very lovely and warm experience that is sure to leave you satisfied. 

Choso: 

He’s still trying to learn as much about this world as he can. He was sealed for hundreds of years and absorbs information like a sponge, always inquisitive and amused about something. 

Probably he’s also low on money and highly willing to impress you. 

My guess is a museum date. Not just any museum, but art museum specifically, since he believes that art conveys the evolution of ideas better than just historic artifacts. 

He’d inspect every piece meticulously, asking you questions when something doesn’t make sense to him. 

Actually the first few times he fails to keep his volume down and earns himself a few grumpy shushes. 

After a whispered discussion on everything you two saw, he’d suggest a slow walk in a park to pitch some ideas on what museum you two should visit next. 

He’s also quick to propose a coffee break before walking you home. 

Take a cute picture of him and he’d look at you with heart eyes for the rest of the night. 

When you’re getting ready to go to bed later, you’ll find him spamming your chat with different youtube videos about pieces you saw together. 

Megumi: 

As a canonical animal lover, I think Megumi would definitely try to include animals in your first date since he knows some stuff about them and feels more confident in a conversation this way. 

But he doesn’t find zoos romantic, and the conditions are usually upsetting, so cue an aquarium date. 

Dark hallways filled with blue lighting? Silent admirers that share amazed whispers? Majestic sharks and colorful tiny fish? Hypnotizing jellyfish and cute penguins? 

Absolutely yes. 

More so, with how dark the halls are he can muster up enough courage to gently take your hand in his and not be shy about a small blush creeping up his cheeks. 

If you want to tease him a little, take a video of him waving his hand and making cute faces to the dolphin. He’ll deny it ever happened but will melt inside. 

Also by the end of the tour you two buy each other tiny plushies and exchange them to commemorate the day. 

He’ll also buy you two some sweet milky drinks and kiss your cheek, thanking you for the date.

Wifey's Lullaby

First Lady of Private Garden Fic

AN: Jackman is the best husband. Confirmed.

Synopsis: Jack knows how difficult it is for you to sleep without him so he takes it upon himself to record his voice to send to you while he's away

Pairing: Husband!Jack Harlow x Wife!Reader

Please Do Not Repost My Content Anywhere

It was around 2 in the morning and you were steadily tossing and turning in your king sized bed in Atlanta, Georgia.

The bed was big seeing as your husband was 6′3, but happened to be a lot bigger when your husband wasn't laying next to you despite how very much you wanted him to be.

He had been gone now for a week and the last night he was here was when you actually had gotten adequate sleep.

He would be back tomorrow, but that still didn’t make you feel any better.

Despite the time difference you picked up your phone to send him a quick text knowing that it was a possibility that he would still be awake seeing as he was on the west coast and you were on the east.

You- Baby 🥺

You- Jack Jack

You- Jackman

You- Husbandddd

You- SMUSHHHHH

Smush- Hey beautiful. What’s wrong? Why are you awake? You need to be sleeping

You- I've been laying here for hours 😩

Smush- Did you drink the tea I got you?

You- Yes

Jack had gotten you this chamomile tea that is supposed to help you fall asleep easier. Only problem is that is only seemed to work when he was here with you. 

Smush- Do you have one of our children with you to keep you company?

You- Yes, Sophia and I have my teddy bear you got me for Valentines Day the first year we started dating

Smush- Hmm. Give me a few minutes.

You- Okay 😭

Fifteen minutes had passed before you got a voice message from Jack.

You eagerly clicked play and instantly felt at ease with hearing his voice with your heart fluttering.

I promised you I would do this for you since Brandi told me one day that you would literally listen to my music or interviews that I've done so you could fall asleep. Gotta admit that shit is cute so I did this for you.

Y/N, I love you so much and I'm so thankful and grateful that I have you in my life. You always show me how much you support me and you never let a day go by without telling me how proud you are. Every time your name pops up on my phone, I still get butterflies and shit. Just like when we first met. I have no problem telling people how much of a simp I am for my wife and I know you're the exact same way. Whatever life may throw at us, I know we'll be able to handle it baby because I got you by my side. I know I tell you this all the time but, you literally complete me and make me a better person. In these past ten years, I have fallen more in love with you every single day. We may have small disagreements and argue from time to time but, this shit is forever and our babies will have the best mother that they could ever ask for. I see how hard you go for me, so I already know you're gonna go ten times harder for them. Every single promise I made you, I plan on making them happen and you already know you want for nothing as long as you’ve been with me. 

With all that being said, I literally cannot put into words how much I love you and this is literally just the tip of the iceberg. You know I can talk about you for hours and PG constantly get annoyed with me when I do. But anyway, I love you and I’ll be back before you know it.

Get some sleep baby girl.

Tears were cascading down your cheeks as you finished listening to it and immediately sent him a text.

You- 🥺🥺🥺

Smush- Oh shit you're crying aren't you?

You- YES BECAUSE I HAVE THE BEST HUSBAND IN THE WORLD

You were then getting an incoming Facetime call from him and you quickly answered.

"BABY! That was meant for you to go to sleep, not to cry!"

"I know! But you know how I am!" You responded between sniffles.

"It's now less than 24 hours and I'll be back. I don't like being away from you but this is the career I chose and you wouldn't even let me stay home with you anyway."

"You damn right. You have worked too hard for this shit and there is no way you're letting up now."

Just then Urban came into view and was eyeing you seeing the tears.

"Jack, if you made by best friend cry I will beat the shit outta you."

"I didn't even do anything!"

"It's happy tears Urby! No need to fight him."

"Mm hmm, it better be. I'm watching you." Urban said to Jack as he walked away from behind him and Jack immediately rolled his eyes.

"OH AND Y/N, WE ARE SUFFERING WITHOUT YOU HERE! I CAN’T WAIT TO BE HOME!”

“URB, SHUT UP!”

“HE IS ALL WOE IS ME AND SHIT AND KEEPS SAYING HOW MUCH HE MISSES YOU. LIKE GOT DAMN WE ALL MISS HER BUT SHIT.”

You couldn’t do anything but laugh at what Urban was saying as you saw your husband roll his eyes.

“It looks like it wasn’t just me who was missing you.”

“I always miss you when you aren’t near me. You know this.”

“Even after I just leave to get something for two minutes, you’re screaming at the top of your lungs for me to come back.”

“Do you blame me?”

“No, because I’m the same way.” You replied while shrugging and moving your bear closer to you.

“I love you now go to sleep.”

“I love you too and I promise that I am. What time will you be here?”

“Soon.”

“Babe! I need a time to come and get you!”

“You don’t need to worry about that. All you need to worry about is getting sleep so you have enough energy for me.”

“NO! IMMEDIATELY NO!”

Urban.

“URB, SHUT THE HELL UP! YOU ALREADY KNOW I’M ABOUT TO GIVE HER MY UNDIVIDED ATTENTION WHEN I GET BACK!”

“You know I stay ready for you.” You replied while getting settled underneath the comforter and laying on top of Jack’s pillow.

“Is that my pillow?”

“Yes, it smells like you so I need to have it near me to help me sleep.”

“Aww babe.”

“GROSS!”

“Is this the same person who almost had a mental breakdown when he thought we were getting divorced?” You ask your husband and he immediately started laughing.

“Exactly! He so fake for that shit. Talking about gross but your ass signed us up for therapy and everything.”

“I don’t like the Urban slander that is happening so imma head out. Yall still nasty though.”

“And we’ll be that. Shit, my wife fine as hell.”

“Stop smush!”

“I call it like I see it and forreal this time, turn off the light and go to sleep.”

“I promise I will.”

“I can’t wait to see you mamas.”

“Me either.”

You woke up and noticed that you were now laying on something hard and you immediately knew it was your husband and that he was back.

You glance at the clock on the nightstand and saw that it was around 11 in the morning indicating that you had slept for close to nine hours. 

The most that you had gotten in days. 

Jack had the television on a low volume in the hopes of not disturbing you since he wanted to make sure that you got enough sleep as possible since he already knew that this past week had been a struggle for you.

Sophia was on his lap and promptly hopped down off the bed deciding that her dad wasn’t interesting anymore despite him being away for an entire week and went to find something else to entertain herself with. 

Jack then look down to see you peeking up at him and smiled down at you before kissing your forehead.

“I’m so happy you’re back.” You said while snuggling into him more.

“Me too and I’m happy you actually slept.”

“I listened to it one more time and then I instantly fell asleep.”

“I take it if our kids are anything like you I’ll probably have to do the same thing for them.”

“More than likely you will. So what are we getting into today?” You asked while looking up at him.

“You already know what we’re getting into.” Jack answered while promptly reaching under your his shirt to begin to massage your left breast and you immediately smirked.

“Fine, but you need to feed me first.”

“I will, after I have my breakfast. Been waiting an entire week for this.”

“Wait, what? So you’re about to get food and not feed your wife?”

“I’m about to feed you this dick once I get done with my meal between your legs.” Jack replied while sliding out from under you and positioning himself between you legs and you couldn’t help but to laugh.

“You laughing now, but about to be begging me for mercy in less than five minutes. Spread em.”

He didn’t tell have to tell you twice.

Mushroom Oasis (Demo) Review 🍄

TL;DR: Mychael deadass wants to be MYchael, and it gets to a point where you're so wrapped up in the wholesome, you actively ignore the red flags. Also, there's butterflies and chickens. No, we don't forage those for food.

Game Link: https://deerspherestudios.itch.io/mushroom-oasis

Notable Features: Gender Neutral MC, Reader insert, Yandere LI Spiciness: O/5 -- very wholesome, no explicit content LI Red Flags: 2/5 -- Manipulative, gaslighter

Want to know more? Well let's get into it!

Where do I start with this?

I am so overwhelmed with how good this game is. Let's get into the general aesthetics of the game. When I tell you that it's so satisfyingly pretty, I don't think you really get it. The art style is so captivating like...I can't explain it, but you'll know what I'm talking about when you see it. It's something straight out of a children's storybook. It's so whimsical and so cozy and so...like look at this.

LOOK AT THIS.

These are the woods that we get lost in. I understand that we were supposed to be nervous for our life in this frame, but look at the scenery! And if you think that looks pretty, just look at this man Mychael's HOUSE.

He really said that this could be us all day, everyday. He done made his house into a home. And don't get me started on his garden area.

Ugh, I could literally go on and on about how much I loved the art style in this game. I am literally obsessed. Enough about that though, let's get into the real deal: the game.

I'm really excited about the development of this game, so bear with me. I'm going to give as much detail without giving away the story because I NEED you to play this for yourself, and I don't want to take its charm away by telling you exactly what happened. Trust me, it's so worth it! Remember though: it's just a demo.

So, boom, this whole thing kicks off because we lost our cat.

Obviously, we have to go looking for our family, so we take off one day and pretty much raw-dog it in these woods, but we had a little bit of sense -- we brought a compass. It proves to be useless though because, tell me why, as soon as we get lost, it gets lost, too. Like lmao what?

It's no big deal though because this kind stranger comes along and takes care of us. This stranger's name is Mychael. Say "hey" to the bae, everybody.

Hey, boo~!

All right, so we're chilling in his house, and he makes us some bomb food with some tea but...things get a little awkward at dinner. We basically find out that the spelling of Mychael's name isn't the only thing about him that's different -- it's actually him that's different, too. This is bae though, so, we just accept him for who he is because the man is so sweet ... then again, I'm not entirely sure if these are our own thoughts right now, but he does feel safe, and he isn't exactly treating us bad. Like, the man gave us his bed to sleep in while he just made camp on the floor. Talk about a gentleman.

So, the next day comes along, and he's pretty excited because, not only are we here to enjoy the next day with him, he has a surprise for us. Okay bet! We get ready in a, surprisingly, nice bathroom with some more than decent plumbing, enjoy some bomb food once again (courtesy of Mychael, thanks bae), and head on out. We see his garden and, oh my gosh, he has chickens!! Look at this cutie with his chicken.

LOOK AT HIM

But as cute as he is ... we still haven't found our cat. Unfortunately, we kind've had to remind him we had to go home because at the end of the day, he hasn't put a ring on it, we have a whole job, and yeah, gots to go. Of course, he's sad about this, and he's like "Well, let me just show you this one other thing, and I promise, I'll take you straight home!" Mychael is literally as wholesome as they come at this point -- how could one refuse? Then again, are we even able to refuse him...?

So, yeah, we go with him, and it is so worth it because where he took us was so magical! There are no words to describe the beauty of where he took us. I'm so tempted to show you guys, but I don't want to ruin more than I already have. I won't leave you hanging though! Just picture this clearing with all these butterflies and flowers and just the absolutely perfect amount of sunlight to set the whole "this place is amazing!" mood and just the right amount of shade to enjoy it all in. If you're picturing it correctly, that scenery should be on point, and you should feel an instant sense of calm and awe mixed into one.

Aside from that though, as nice as this was, we still had to get home. So, we remind him -- for, like, the third time -- "Hey, I really need to head out", because granted, the man knows this forest, but we still didn't want to run the risk of it getting dark and us walking around in it for however long it takes us to get back. Here's where it starts to get weird...

If it wasn't obvious, Mychael is laying down the rizz somewhat thick. He may not understand the concept of cosplay or family or even how it's "mama mia" and not "maummer mee-ya", but he knows how to woo a person! or at least manipulate them Like, he is putting in work to be MYchael, you feel me? So much so, he just brushes off that whole speech about us needing to go home, and instead, just tells us to relax. I don't know what it is about that man, but ooh, his voice. You just can't say "no" sometimes! So, we do. We relax, and frankly, feel kind've sleepy because we are so relaxed. Mychael seizes opportunity and starts showing off his musical skillz. Man's literally serenading -- well, more specifically lulling -- us, playing the most calmest of tunes on his little instrument. Everything just feels so nice, relaxing, and safe... oh shit!

We snap awake. We done fell asleep on this man, which is cute and all, but we have to get home neow! Mychael stops playing games finally, and for real, for real starts to take us home. Before we get too far though, we stop at a creek so we can freshen up. We catch a glimpse of Mychael in our reflection, and he catches a glimpse of us which makes him look at himself, and...the reaction was so heartbreaking yet so relateable.

You know how sometimes when you look in the mirror, all you see is your flaws, and it gives you (hopefully, only) a brief sense of ick? Well, his was past that. It was completely self-loathing in that look, and nu-uh, we do not support Mychael slander in this household! So, now it's our time to turn on the charm, and...we may have laid it too thick and too well because now he's blushing, we're blushing, and then he whispers something to himself, and now Mr. Righteous comes out.

Now, he's determined to try to find our cat (...lmao), but he's like "That means you've gotta stay for another day, though!" with this really intense look on his face. Once again -- and for like the fifth time now! The man is sweet, but he has a poor concept of "no means no" -- we're like "That's sweet, but I gots to go". Boom. We start feeling sick, real sick. Like, we had this weird feeling before while we had been hanging out with him, but now it's intense, and it literally takes us down. Mychael had to catch us or else we were gonna hit the ground. So, now, we don't have a choice. We had to go back with Mychael. We's in the thick of it now bois ... AND THEN THE DEMO ENDED!! AUGH!!

DEVESTATED. I. was. DEVESTATED. Lol it was getting so good! Like, you know how you know the demo is coming to the end, but you're hoping there's just a touch more afterwards? That's how I was feeling. It was getting so good, and I wanted to see more! Hell, it IS good, and I WANT to see more!

So far, so great! I'm really excited to see what Day 3 brings us! I understand that Mychael is toxic or whatever, but he's just lonely and a little weird looking. I can fix him!

Honestly speaking though, with how sweet he is, you genuinely don't even feel like he's "ugly" or "scary" looking anymore. His gentle personality and literal down-to-earth nature completely overtakes his looks. He honestly isn't even bad looking! He really is cute in that other-worldly, fantasy being kind of way. But if I saw him in real life, there's a good chance I probably would've freaked out and get the bad ending lol

But, no, seriously, this game is fantastic! This is such a fun experience so far, and the story is really captivating! Just a little tip from me, be sure that when you play through, you pay attention to those text color changes! It helps bring some understanding/context to the story as to what's going on/happening around you.

Fair warning, the "yandere" element isn't showing too much yet, but you can tell that it's just a pacing thing, of which I think is being executed just right! I guess you could consider this to be a slow burn type of story, but because it's so fitting, it doesn't feel like slow pacing at all. If you were planning to jump right into the psycho, crazy Mychael as soon as you were at home with him and made it aware you wanted to leave, it's going to seem slow, but if you don't mind the build up to the plot, even prefer it, this will be great to you. For me, the build up is doing the story justice as there's not really a dull moment. The pace that the dev is going is purposeful, and it's not just slow for the sake of being slow.

That being said, I think I'll end my raving here! Really anticipating what the developer is coming out with next, and I can't wait to see just how far Mychael is willing to go for the sake of companionship. If you're contemplating trying this game out, stop contemplating and just play it! It is so worth it, and you will find yourself just as excited as I am for the full release! Be sure to leave your comments on the dev's page if you feel like they're doing a good job, and you want to give them that extra reassurance. Of course, donations are always helpful to them as well! Like mentioned at the top, here is the link to the game if you'd like to try it out yourself! I highly recommend that you do. It really is a great game.

That's all from me! Drink water, don't be dumb, and hope to see you around! Until next time~!

Shuri x Fem

The Girl with The Tattoos pt 2

Shuri POV

Getting Mbali back to the palace was pretty easy, after she had thrown up she passed out. While she was out, I had Aneka and Ayo stop by her apartment so I could grab her a few things.

Her apartment was very her, or the her that I could remember anyway. She’d painted all over the walls, but what stopped me in my tracks was a painting on the wall of me.

The painting was of myself, T’Challa and my mother. T’challa and my mother above me in the sky looking down. She drew them in the ancestral plane. The look on my face in the painting was pure devastation, it unnerved me to see it.

Another wall was of the Palace garden with two young girls chasing each other. One wearing a tribal gown, and the other in tribal furs.

Realizing I was taking too long, I went into her bedroom found a bag and started to pack some clothes for her. I grabbed her essentials, like her hygiene products and her artist kit.

By the time we arrived back at the palace is was late. I bid Aneka and Ayo a goodnight and took Mbali to my quarters.

I put her things down on my coffee table and stripped her of the skintight dress. She wore only panties under the dress, I put my own oversized t-shirt over her head and cleaned off her makeup.

Once I knew she was settled in my bed, I went over to my work table and started back on my research. Sleep never came easy to me after the past few months so I adapted to it and focused on inventing things that could better protect Wakanda.

A few more hours pass before I’m exhausted enough to fall asleep and I knock out on my desk, not able to make it to the bed.

A scream wakes me up and I jolt, standing quickly looking around. I see Mbali standing on my bed taking in her surroundings.

“Princess!” Okoye bursts into my room, her face stone cold as she looks for the threat.

“Its ok, Okoye.” I say, wiping my eyes. “I’ve got this.”

Okoye looks from Mbali to me and gives me a look.

“Do you know what M’baku will do if he hears that his sister is here?” Okoye exclaims.

“The great gorilla will do nothing.” Mbali grimaces. “I’m an adult, he cannot dictate what I do as I am no longer Jabari. I have no people and therefore cannot be regulated.”

“Okoye, leave us.” I demand, seeing her gearing up to say something else. She nods her head before standing tall and marching out, closing the door behind her.

“Why am I here?” Mbali demands, her arms crossed over her chest.

“When did you start drinking?” I counter. The girl I knew so long ago was so different now.

“Why do you care?” Mbali snidely remarks. “I’ve been in the city for a long while so why do you suddenly care now?”

“I do not take part in the gossip and tea culture of Wakanda. I’ve spent the last year and a half grieving my loved ones, working in my lab and as you know fighting in the name of Wakanda.” I give her a scolding look. “Had I known you were here in the city, I would have seeked you out.”

“Why? You don’t even know me.” Mbali scoffs. “Sure we played together as children but—“

“Played together?” I scoff. I walk towards the bed and pull her down so she’s looking up at me. “I’ve been to your apartment. You and I both know there was more to it then that, I made you a promise and I sure as hell intend to keep it.”

“You never came…” She whispers, her anger melting away. She looks away, but I can hear the sniffle she tries to cover.

“I wanted to but I wasn’t in the right place to look for you. I’m still trying to heal and it is a struggle daily to get up and do as I’m supposed to.” My accent getting stronger.

“I saw you at T’challa’s funeral. You looked so hurt, so broken. I wanted nothing more than to comfort you but I figured you didn’t want me around especially since everyone knew I was in the city.” Mbali reveals and I stare at her, thinking of the painting on her wall. “When you lost your mother, I knew you were in a bad place. Yet I felt I couldn’t approach you, because you didn’t come for me.”

“Mbali when I saw you last night, the only thing going through my mind was ‘does she remember our promise?’ We were so young but I meant every word.” I declare.

“You must be disappointed…” I can smell the scent of her tears, as she continues looking away. I grasp her face in my hand and turn her to look at me. “Drinking to the point I act a fool in public….”

“Mbali. I could never be disappointed in you. You are the same girl I fell in love with as a child. I cannot judge you for doing whatever you did to survive. We all have our vices. I can only hope you’ll allow me to take away the need for those vices.” I beseech her to permit me to be there for her.

“I don’t want to let another person in.” She sobs. “I don’t think—no! I know I won’t be able to survive losing someone else. Everyone left me all alone.”

“I will never leave you, sthandwa.” I swear to her. “I know how it feels to lose the people you love, I would never do that to you. You have my word.”

“Shuri…” She sighs. “You’re to be Queen in only a few days. Tradition is sacred in Wakanda, they will never let you take a woman lover.”

“You’re right.” I confirm, watching as she looks devastated. “They will never accept me having a woman lover but they WILL accept my wife.”

“I…”

“What did I promise you all those years ago, Sthandwa?” I demand. She swallows, biting her lip.

“Say it.” My tone commanding, I needed her to say it.

“You promised to marry me. You said that I’d be your Princess.” She mutters, her chest rising and falling with every breath.

“And I meant it.” I acknowledge my promise. “You will be my Queen. I never had it in my mind to rule, never wanted to but you’ve reminded me that Wakanda needs a ruler that is openminded and willing to enact change”

I remove my family ring, the one that was given to me by my father and place it on her finger. It was identical to T’challa’s as our father gave us both a ring. I would keep T’challa’s ring as my wedding band.

“Will you be my Queen, Mbali daughter of Wakanda?” I ask her, my eyes pleading.

“You already placed the ring, silly.” She giggles through her tears, sniffling. I give her a look, impatiently. “Yes.”

With that one word, Mbali strengthened my heart ensuring I’d do everything in my power to heal as I planned to heal her.

I’m thinking of doing a few flashbacks in the upcoming parts. Let me know if you’d like me to upload this story to Wattpad. Until next time. 💕

Hello hello,

This week the gardens starting to look super lovely! There's actually so much to look at I wasn't able to fit every picture in this post, but I'll be sharing more later this week on a few different posts with some things I've done this week towards the goal of being more eco friendly, self concious and getting more from what we have and providing best for my family.

To start the viewing, the sunflowers are starting to bloom :D the tallest is now close to or over 6 ft tall

And lots of lovely bees have been visiting. The girls are very friendly for the most part with respect to their space. They were all loading up on pollen :D 🐝🐝

Also many of the sunflowers have multiple heads, or have many branching smaller heads growing in along many of leaves.

Down below the velour beans are going stronger than I expected in honesty given the sunflower growth and the beans bushing growth. we've gotten 4 harvests now. Each harvest has been around 4-8 ounces.

Nasturtium, I feel okay with starting to harvest the greens soon. Maybe this week or next to make some pesto, breakfast food or salad add ins.

Some of the pumpkin/sunflower+bean row next to the broccoli/nasturtium.

I'm hoping the broccoli will be a little bigger soon so I can harvest some of the leaves for breakfast meals, stirfrys, soup and rice dishes.

The armenian cucumbers.

Sadly These aren't doing so great, I think where I planted isn't a good winter grow space for them. When I get more soil I'm going to try another spot that has more sun earlier and throughout the day instead of mostly shade. (In the summer/spring they did Great in whichever space.) Once I do I'll be pulling these and planting something else here. Not entirely sure what yet though.

2 cabbages I space filled with. Very excited to see them starting to pick up. 🥬

The eggplants, Very excited there's a full flower now and more flowers look like their coming in!

The carrots, a few small radish are still popping up here and there. So I feel like the cornstarch experiment worked but not as well as I'd hoped.

I would use the method again for carrot seeding, but would double the amount of seed in the mix. (I don't mind thinning, the greens and tiny carrots can be used for salad or chopped for omlettes)

2nd planting (direct seeded) of velour beans, and the few cabbages which survived the initial planting of the row. Somethings having a good munch, ive been checking for the suspects but no luck so far spotting them. I suspect heavily its cabbage loopers as they are a common pest of the area. (I am making chamomile tea to spray on them for now to test if it works.) next grow I may intercrop cabbage and sunflowers or borage. Or perhaps have some movable chamomile pots At the end of the beds to deter them.

This week I'm hoping to get some garden supplies for a few projects And to start breaking down some pallets to build some raised garden beds for a garden expansion.

I am late on starting my tomato and pepper seeds (mostly because I haven't sat down to figure what varieties we want to eat) but a late start is better than none. Thankfully the weather here allows for some tardiness with outdoor grows.

That's it for now 🌱

🌱🌻Happy Homesteading and Gardening🌻🌱

A3! Backstage Story Translation - Tsumugi Tsukioka R: Rabbit Training - Part 2

Misumi: Wah~! So many small animals! So cute.

Tsumugi: Small animals café… I didn’t know this existed. What a nice find, Muku-kun.

Muku: I was actually looking for a place like this because I wanted to pet a hedgehog. But I’m glad I could be of help to you, Tsumugi-san.

Tsumugi: Thank you. Café animals should be more used to humans, so even a beginner like me can feel at ease.

Misumi: But I don’t see any Mr. Rabbits?

Muku: Maybe it’s time for their dinner?

Tsumugi: Um, excuse me. I would like to pet a rabbit, but I can’t find any. Where are they?

Store clerk:  Unfortunately, only one of them felt like coming to work today, so…  Ah, he’s by the sofa

Tsumugi: Ah, I found him. Fufu, he’s so cute. 

Store clerk: He is. But… Among all the rabbits here, Rabita has the most difficult personality, so you might not be able to get along with him immediately. I’m sorry…

Tsumugi: That’s alright. Thank you for letting me know.

Store clerk: Feel free to call anytime if there’s any trouble.

Tsumugi: (The bar has risen now. But Misumi-kun taught me all sorts of things, I’m sure I can do better than I did during training.)

Tsumugi: (First, watch him quietly.)

Tsumugi: …

Tsumugi: (He doesn’t seem to be running away. Should I try feeding him?)

Tsumugi: Would you like some… Ah! He ran away…

Tsumugi: (Forcing him into a chase would stress him out, I should just wait till he approaches me from the other side.)

Misumi: Ah~ Hi, Mr. Rabbit! Let’s play!

Tsumugi: Misumi-kun!?

Misumi: Okay, okay. We can do whatever you wanna do~

Muku: The fact that he’s wagging his tail means he’s happy, right?

Tsumugi: I believe so. The internet said that when they’re happy, rabbits wag their tails the way dogs do.

Tsumugi: (Rabita-kun is pressing his head against Misumi-kun. If I remember correctly, that means–)

Misumi: You want me to pet you? Theeere, there.

Tsumugi: The store clerk said Rabita-kun is rather difficult, but you’ve become quick friends. As expected of you, Misumi-kun.

Misumi: He’s not difficult at all~ This kid just wants some attention. He loves playing around~

Tsumugi: Eh, is that so?

Misumi: Yep. It’s important to treat them with care so you don’t hurt them. But you have to pay even more attention to this one.

Misumi: There are aaall kinds of Mr. Rabbits, and they’ve all got a heart and different personalities.

Tsumugi: I see… You’re right.

Tsumugi: Rabita-kun, can I play with you as well?

Tsumugi: (Ah, he’s sticking his nose out. When rabbits do that–)

Misumi: “Before that, pet me,” he says.

Tsumugi: Okay.

-

Misumi: The front is packed with customers, but it’s lively inside too~!

Muku: Ah! The rabbit server over there is Tsumugi-san!

Tsumugi: Thank you for waiting, milady. I have brought you the carrot scones and tea set.

Muku: Wah! Tsumugi-san looks so cool…!

Misumi: He’s gotten better at handling the rabbits, too~

Muku: He has. This is all thanks to his training–

*Rabbit hops by*

Staff: Woah!

Muku & Misumi: !?

Staff: I-I’m sorry. I will show Usapyon-sama to her basket right away…!

Muku: Ah, this one jumped out of her basket.

Misumi: Ahaha. Looks like she’s enjoying the garden’s grass~

Staff: Usapyon-sama, please come here… Ah!

Customer: Come on, Usapyon-chan. Be a good girl, okay?

Misumi: Should I go help~

Muku: … Ah. Hold on, Misumi-san.

Tsumugi: ――Usapyon-san, is it not about time for dinner? I have prepared apples today.

Tsumugi: Did you enjoy yourself in the garden? You must be hungry after all this running. Dig in, by all means.

Staff: Tsukioka-san is amazing. The rabbit is listening to what he’s saying…

Tsumugi: Does it suit your tastes? Now then, please come here.

Misumi: Amazing, Tsumugi~!

Tsumugi: !? You two, you’re here. Thank you, this is all thanks to you–

Tsumugi: *ahem* … My apologies.

Tsumugi: I will take care of you and the precious rabbits both, young masters. Please leave it to me.

Tsumugi: So, how would you like some tea?

Muku & Misumi: Thank you very much!

֎Afternoon tea at the hotel

Part 1

Izumi: “Looks like everyone has plans for the weekends this week.”

Taichi: “I got a part-time job on Saturdays and Sundays!”

Sakuya: “Is that so? Good luck!”

Taichi: “Thanks, I’m gonna work hard and earn money!”

Taichi: “Come to think of it, Sakkun also works part-time on Saturdays, right? Good luck there too!”

Sakuya: “Mm, thanks!”

Izumi: “Speaking of it, Banri-kun is meeting his sister on Saturday, right?

Sakuya: “Where are you going with your sister?”

Banri: “Just accompanying my sis to have an afternoon tea in the hotel lounge.”

Taichi: “Afternoon tea at a hotel? Popular men really are different!”

Banri: “It’s nothing like that. I’m just accompanying her, is all.”

Izumi: “Looks like it’s gonna be a lovely day out.”

Sakuya: “Banri-kun, have fun with your sister!”

Banri: “Yeah well, guess I’m gonna enjoy it.”

━━━ ◦ ❖ ◦ ━━━

*beep beep*

Banri: “Hello?”

Banri’s sister: “Ah, Banri? Sorry, I don’t think I can make it to the afternoon tea tomorrow.”

Banri: “Hah? Didn’t you say you wanted to go there?”

Banri’s sister: “I know but I got some stuff I can’t skip.”

Banri: “I don’t mind but isn’t there a reservation already?”

Banri’s sister: “Oh right, I already paid for the reservation.”

Banri: “Should we cancel?”

Banri’s sister: “I don’t think it’s possible to do a day before. So, how about you go with someone?”

Banri: “Ha? …..Geez, got it. I’ll look for someone.”

Banri’s sister: “I’ll leave it to you then.”

Banri: (Even if I say that, bringing someone from troupe is…..)

Banri: (Should I ask director-chan?)

━━━ ◦ ❖ ◦ ━━━

Banri: “I’m home.”

Izumi: “Banri-kun, welcome back.”

Banri: “Director-chan, you free tomorrow?”

Izumi: “Tomorrow? That I am…..”

Banri: “Actually, sis looks like she can’t come to the afternoon tea no more so if you don’t mind, wanna go with me?”

Izumi: “Eh, is it okay for me to go with you?”

Banri: “I’m inviting cause it’s okay in the first place.”

Izumi: “Well then, I’m taking your word for it. To be honest, I was indeed bit curious after listening to you the other day.”

Banri: “Alright, it’s decided then.”

Izumi: “I’m looking forward to it!”

Part 2

Izumi: “Wow….amazing….! Teapots, teacups, sweets– everything here is so fancy!”

Izumi: “It’s the first time I’ve had an afternoon tea at a hotel. So it feels like this.”

Banri: “I really was right to bring director-chan with me.”

Izumi: “Thank you for inviting me. It really is puzzling to decide which sweets to eat first.”

Banri: “Everything looks tasty after all.”

Izumi: “Should I start with this tart first…..Mm! So delicious!”

Banri: “Haha, you really eat like it’s exceptionally tasty.”

Izumi: “....It’s embarrassing to be watched so Banri-kun, you also eat!”

Banri: “Got it, got it.”

Izumi: (There’s not only sweets but also sandwiches and hors d’oeuvres.)

Izumi: (As expected of having afternoon tea at a hotel. The garden through the window is also very beautiful.)

Izumi: “Ah…..”

Banri: “What’s up?”

Izumi: “Look, looks like they’re having a wedding at the garden.”

Banri: “Right, sis did say that this hotel also has a wedding hall and is often used for arranging meetings for marriage and stuff.”

Izumi: “It seems like it’s sometimes also used for matchmaking. Oh, those two look like a couple.”

Banri: “They suit each other.”

Izumi: “Why do you think so?”

Banri: “The clothes, the atmosphere, kind of stuff?”

Izumi: “Now that you say it, they’re indeed a good match. The expression they’re making while talking is kind of timid….”

Izumi: “Then, what about the two over there?”

Banri: “Ain’t that a business meeting? They’re wearing formal business suits and all.”

Izumi: “Right…There’s so many kinds of people at this hotel. It’s kinda fun to observe them.”

Banri: “Uh-huh, it might be useful for the play.”

━━━ ◦ ❖ ◦ ━━━

Izumi: “It’s such a beautiful garden. It does look like it’s well used for weddings and engagements.”

Banri: “Yeah. And that afternoon tea was kinda filling.”

Izumi: “It was quite a volume.”

Banri: “Let’s take a stroll around here.”

Izumi: “Yeah, let’s do that.”

Izumi: (There’s so many people here.)

Izumi: “The man and the woman ahead of us are walking arm in arm, they must be a couple.”

Banri: “Looks like it.”

Izumi: “.....Now that we’re on topic, I wonder how we look to others?”

Banri: “We must also look the same as that couple ahead.”

Izumi: “Eh? I wonder about that.”

Banri: “Then, what does director-chan think we look like?”

CHOOSE

Option 1: Maybe siblings

Izumi: “Maybe siblings.”

Banri: “Siblings, that’s kind of possible.”

Izumi: “Fufu, but I could be wrong.”

Banri: “If you think about it, it’s surprisingly difficult to guess relationship between people just by looking.”

Izumi: “It really is the case after we put ourselves in that position.”

Option 2: Maybe friends

Izumi: “Maybe friends.”

Banri: “Friends? Don’t you think that’s kinda off?”

Izumi: “Really?”

Banri: “Isn’t it better to say couple?”

Banri: “What do you say? Should we cross our arms and try to make it look like that?”

Izumi: “Eh?! That’s kind of….”

Banri: “Haha, just kidding.”

━━━ ◦ ❖ ◦ ━━━

Banri: “It’s not possible to guess that I brought the head of the theatre company with me because my sis canceled the appointment at the last minute.”

Izumi: “If you can guess that then the person must have psychic level power…..”

Banri: “.....right.”

━━━ ◦ ❖ ◦ ━━━

Banri: “We made a lap around the garden, should we head home? If you got a place you wanna go then it’s a different story though.”

Izumi: “I don’t have a particular place I wanna go but it would be nce if I can buy takeout or souvenirs here.”

Izumi: “The afternoon tea and sweets were delicious so I’d like to buy some for everyone.”

Banri: Ah, there’s plenty of those back home who can eat the sweets so it’s good I guess. Well, should we go buy some before heading home?”

Izumi: “Mm!”

Part 3

Tsumugi: “For plate, is this okay?”

Omi: “I think it’s good.”

Muku: “I’ll arrange the cups.”

Izumi: “Huh? Looks like the courtyard is lively.”

Banri: “Seems like it. Let’s check it out.”

━━━ ◦ ❖ ◦ ━━━

Izumi: “We’re back.”

Kumon: “Ah! Welcome home!”

Banri: “What are y’all doing here?”

Kazunari: “Right now, we’re preparing for afternoon tea!”

Izumi: “Why afternoon tea?”

Citron: “When I helped out madams, I got a lot of sweats as thanks.”*

Azuma: “I also bought some Japanese sweets for everyone.”

Sakuya: “I also got sweets from my part-time job…”

Kumon: “Me too, I went home and brought some sweets!”

Omi: “So, as a result, these sweets were gathered.”

Muku: “And remembering that the two of you went for an afternoon tea, we decided to have a tea party in the courtyard as well.”

Banri: “Rice crackers, Japanese sweets, Western sweets on the table, amazing.”

Izumi: “Ah, then I guess this is a good thing. We also bought some sweets and tea as souvenirs, so have these too.”

Banri: “Yep, this is souvenirs.”

Kumon: “Yay! Let’s put these on table too.”

Muku: “Thank you very much!”

Izumi: “In the meantime, I’ll go get dinner ready.”

Banri: “And I’m going back to my room.”

Citron: “Oh, director and banri too, why not have tea party together?”

Omi: “The dinner’s already ready.”

Izumi: “Really? Thank you!”

Kazunari: “C’mon, director-chan and setzer too, let’s have a tea party together!”

Izumi: “Well then, let me also join here.”

Banri: “We did have one just before but I guess it’s okay.”

Azuma: “I’ll brew some tea then.”

Tsumugi: “I’ll set flowers for the table.”

Kumon: “Now this is getting serious!”

Muku: “It’s going to be fun!”

Izumi: “It was a quiet afternoon tea earlier so it’s exciting to have a lively one too.”

Banri: “Guess this isn’t too bad.”

<<<𝕮𝖍𝖆𝖕𝖙𝖊𝖗 2 | 𝕸𝖆𝖎𝖓 𝖑𝖎𝖘𝖙 | 𝕮𝖍𝖆𝖕𝖙𝖊𝖗 4>>>

Your attention gets distracted with a sudden flash of lightning and the rumble of thunder coming from outside. The timing between them indicates it has fallen relatively near. All of you look towards the ceiling for a second, the metallic armour keeping together the glass rooftop, suddenly becoming uninviting. Not that anything should happen, counting on the fact the city is full of a rumble of arresters, but the awareness of electricity being conducted through metal, still reminds of its danger.

The chatter in the room retakes its course, and your eyes go around the table: first noticing Jungkook keeping a polite conversation with Kyungsook, the rest looking at their own devices, then staring at Jimin walking inside the restaurant again. Your gaze roams around aimlessly until he comes back out and serves a few more plates, including yours.

His little finger brushes your hand in a studied movement when he places it in front of you and you look towards your hand as a reaction to his touch. You notice a note, tucked between the two plates, folded in two. You look around before picking it up and hide it in your lap, underneath the table, to open it up.

You forgot this at my house: 01-3181-0141

~Jimin

You close the paper immediately, looking towards Jimin, who is moving back inside again but looks backwards at the last second, glancing your way. He seems to only want to make sure you got the note because his features show cautious curiosity in a very cute form. Discreetly, looking down and then to him you make sure he gets his answer.

When he turns his head, you pick up your phone to type down the number and save it. Then you place the note inside the pocket of your formal trousers. Another lightning and thunder enlighten the sky but this time nobody bothers to look at it. 

As Jimin serves the last plates, he looks at you and smirks discreetly, you can’t avoid silently chuckling at it. Your gesture draws Seokjin’s attention, who looks at you confused.

“I was just thinking how ironic it would be for lightning to reach us here while we are enjoying this fine meal in a winter garden.” you chuckle again shaking your head. ‘Where is your cool at?’ you question yourself.

“It really would be…” says JK, giving you an unbelieving sideway look with a slight smirk that makes your hair stand on end. Partly because you feel like you’ve been caught red handed but also because he really does look hot. His lips look inviting and you can remember his taste as freshly as you do Jimin’s. It all makes your sanity edge. Your hormones are kicking in uncontrolled and you crave them, both, with their own styles and doings. So different, yet so similar. Both so pleasurable. 

You see Jimin go back inside with the corner of your eyes but try to keep them on Jungkook. “How many things would be left untold… It’s kind of dramatic.” he says, keeping eye contact, then looking away to pick up his glass of wine, to take a sip from it. You notice your breath is slightly accelerated, not enough to call the attention but enough for him to notice it.

“Then maybe they should be said instead of keeping them in, if we feel like regretting not doing so when we die.” says Namjoon boldly, not knowing the possible second meaning behind Jungkook's words.

“I agree.” says Jungkook, pinning his fiery eyes on you. You feel his stare burning in your skin, the goosebumps rising, making you feel troubled to stay in the same room. Only the thought of Jimin makes you stay grounded and not fall for his charms. 

For some reason, he keeps coming back and forward to your mind.

You thought of Jimin all week, troubled with your decision of leaving. You thought of Jimin when Jungkook insinuated you two should meet. You did too when his hand slid from your shoulder blades to your hips, as he led you inside a restaurant on Saturday midday. And gave him a last thought when Jungkook was on top of you, ready to slide inside, before he made you forget how to say your own name. 'But it's normal to compare a little, isn't it?' you think.

You absentmindedly look at the muscles of Jungkook’s arm that seem to want to rip the fabric of his lilly white shirt, knowing exactly what it hides underneath. He moves his hand up to touch his lower lip and you notice he’s still looking at you. He smirks, you gulp, and he looks away with satisfaction written all over his face while he wets his lips with his pink tongue. You almost huf.

“Excuse me, someone called me just now, I think it could be important.” you say, showing your phone with the screen off while standing, then try to walk out the garden through the little hallway that leads inside as normal as possible. Another thunder sounds outside but this time you don’t even acknowledge it. 

Entering the bathroom you try to act composed in front of the woman that’s washing her hands in one of the sinks but as soon as you enter the stall you sit on the toilet lid, closing your eyes, and unbutton the collar of your burgundy shirt. You hear the woman leave and come out of the toilet to refresh yourself at the sink before unlocking your phone.

You think about lying, giving him an excuse that makes it all less awkward but decide not to do so, looking at your phone thinking about what to say, instead.  You see him typing then stopping and typing again but nothing comes through and you shoot your shot.

You reply, straight forward. He stays in line for a few seconds before typing again and you fantasise of him smirking at what you said.

A thunder interrupts your thoughts. This time the light goes off for a second before coming back. When you look at your phone again, he’s texted again.

You smile to yourself in the mirror. The fact that you’re going to be able to kill the craving for him in just a few hours sets your skin on fire and starts to arouse you. A sudden knock on the door distracts you from your thoughts. Unconsciously, you move to open the door and check.

At the other side, Jungkook holds his forearm against the frame and looks at you from above, towering over you. You must be giving him a mouse look because he smirks walking in, making you walk backwards to allow him inside the common area of the bathroom, and before the door closes behind, he’s already kissing you. 

He devours you with his hands sliding through your waist, without asking for permission. Taking what he knows he can take. He leads you to the last stall without stopping, his invading tongue intoxicating your senses, making you close your eyes. 

Another thunder and the light goes off. 

“Even the sky is in our favour.” he comments, burying his face in the crook of your neck while he locks the door. His body presses yours against the wall, his hardness prints against your tummy through the fabrics and suddenly the clothes bother you. 

As if he could read your mind he turns you around and spreads kisses through your neck while holding your wrists against the wall. His hips rock against your back, insinuating, playing around while his lips take advantage of your pulse point without leaving marks.

His hands free you but you don’t dare to move, hearing the squish of a metallic wrap, his hands find your ribs before he draws the underline of the lacy cage on your breasts. He caresses them over the shirt, feeling their form first but then he slides his hands through the minimum space between your tummy and the fabric. He feels them, sliding between the bra and your skin. Giving a little grunt as he rolls his hips against you and you respond to it rubbing against him. 

His hands slide down, slow, teasing. One of them slides down through your tummy, while the other pulls the ribbon belt and undoes the button. The nomad hand slides inside your silver lace panties to find your bud but when he rubs it his digits moisten with your wetness.

“I see… someone is hungry…” he whispers against your ear, before biting it and you gasp. His fingers go lower as he teases your entrance, sliding through your slit, while his other hand unbuckles his black leather belt and frees himself from his caging trousers. Then his hand slides up and in a sudden movement, he exposes your lower half by pulling your bottoms along with the underwear down. 

You hear the metallic wrap rip off and feel one of his hands is on your waist, which makes you figure out he opened it with his teeth. The same ones that find your throat as soon as he’s done  covering his arousal in rubber, trying to not lose contact with you as he needs both hands to do so. Just like he did on the weekend. As if that sexy unwrapping was his foreplay signature. 

When his hand finds your waist again, you feel him, in your entrance, stretching while pushing. You gasp. His free hand slides through your waist going up your chest and covers your mouth as he pushes in more deep, making his way until your walls stop him from going further. You hold your breath when he pulls slightly out, trying to take an impossible grip on the bathroom tiles. Then he pushes in again and you involuntarily move your hips backwards to ease his invasion, until he hits bottom. There he stops and lets out a low growl.

“Damn it… I love how you feel around me…” he whispers before kissing the back of your head. Then his hand slides down to your jaw to make you tilt your head, to give you a kiss.

His thrusts start slow but vigorous making you moan immediately but he muffles them with his mouth while getting easily encouraged by them. In a matter of seconds his hand finds your mouth again and he’s thrusting faster, deeper, making you search for a place to grip while trying your best not to cry out by his fierceness. Between grunts of effort he chuckles when your hand finds his nape and you give a little bite to his palm in response. “Sorry..” he says in a smiley whisper, that contrast in its sweet tone with how he’s fucking you. 

Then he shifts his weight for a second and pushes against you while wrapping his arm around your waist, going as deep as he can, making you feel like he’s going to split you. When he pulls out and in again the movement is so precise your legs shake. You can tell by the way he trembles, he’s really pouring himself into doing it right. Jungkook has a very remarkable competitive side and it shows. 

Your hand reaches back to entwine in his hair to reassure him. His thrusts then turn precise and he’s no longer holding you but embracing you with his whole body. His hand still holds back your moans, making them die over your tongue. But it’s just perfect, because you can hear his soft grunts against your earlobe. Like music. Setting you on edge, feeling the climax build up inside of you, before he changes his pace to hit the spot directly and it sets you on fire. 

Your body collapses over the wall, in his arms but he holds you over his forearm as his hand finds your bud again and he rubs it. You let a high pitched moan through the back of your nose as a complaint. His thrusts become torturing again as he tries to make you cum for the second time in a row. You feel exhausted already and think about the fact your friends are still sitting at the table and you are doing it in the bathroom of the restaurant where the guy you can’t take out of your mind works.

“What is that?” asks Jungkook, reducing the pace to almost a stop and freeing your mouth for you to speak. “Your walls…” then you notice the grip you have on him and the reason why he’s slowed down.

“We… need to finish…we’re going… to get caught...” you mutter to him, trying to relax, so he can retake the pace to finish. “Please, cum...”

“Hm…” he mutters, sliding harshly inside of you, making the sounds of flesh against flesh audible against the tiled walls of the bathroom. So do his frustrated grunts and growls, as he keeps pushing on you. Unable to finish. Then you make your best effort to push him against the other wall with him still inside you and move your hips against his, roughly, while keeping your head backwards on his shoulder. “Fuck…” he grumbles and you can tell his head rests against te wall looking at the ceiling, by the sound of it. Then he regains his composure and pushes you back to face the wall while thrusting quickly and hard in you. “Tell me you’re mine.” he grunts in your ear before biting it. You are first taken back by the sudden possessiveness of the line. “Tell me…” he mutters, burying his face on your neck and biting slowly, unmatching the speed of his hips.

“I’m yours JK…” you whisper, seductively. Just like that, he grunts low, coming to a stop. Then gives a few more thrusts to empty fully in the safety of the condom, to immediately pull out.

Reorganising your shirt, he hugs you from behind and you hear him chuckle again while he picks some paper roll for both of you to clean up. 

“What is so funny?” you wonder. 

“No matter if we do this the best way possible, they’ll know what we just did…” he says, turning on the flashlight of his smartphone. You both flush the items down the toilet and pull your trousers up but when you go to the sink and JK leaves his phone up on the counter, you notice: he’s sweating. Profusely. You grab one of the guests' mini towels and try to help him dry up but his shirt has a mark of sweat on the chest and back that outlines his muscles. You bite your lip.

“Go to the boys bathroom and use the hand drier...” you order him while he refreshes in the sink. He tilts his head to the side giving you a sideways look. Then smirks before straightening. “This is a disaster… Jungkook…” 

“It’s ok, we’ll handle it, boss.” he responds before moving towards you, pecking your lips. You peck him back. 

He stops his flashlight right before he comes out of the bathroom and you breath out deep resting your hands over the counter in the pitch dark room. You wonder how you could be so reckless. 

“I’m sorry, I entered the wrong bathroom.” you hear Jungkook apologise to someone outside. 

“It’s okay, hopefully the light will come back soon.” replies, the bar waiter, Taehyung. You panic. 

🍵 Nice mix, uh? 🍵

I hope you enjoyed this first chapter! Let me know your thoughts and reblog if you liked it. There's other 8 more writen already, so stay tuned for the next one! See you in Tuesday 13th!

Strawberry Jam

The context of this is that a girl named Millie from the city got stuck on the side of the road and a guy named Ben (hot sexy farmer) helped drive her to his town to the mechanic (also super hot sexy) they spend a few day together and now they making jam cuz Ben grows strawberries

"You pour the hot water into the jars so they don't break when u put in the jam," he said in a grumpy but matter of fact tone.

"I know."

He looked at me strangely, with a hint of disbelief in his eyes "What do you mean you know?"

"I used to make jam with my ma when I was younger"

He scoffed and rolled his eyes, turning back to stirring the strawberry jam "So yer one of those city girls."

I squinted and tilted my head to the side "What city girls?"

"The rich kind that had a garden in their backyard and 'farmed for a hobby'  the irritatin' ones"

Not feeling necessarily offended but more wronged, I huffed and said "that's mighty rude assuming I was a rich girl that had  expensive hobbies. Not that there's anything wrong with having a cute little hobby like making jam."

He looked back at me with a raised eyebrow and a smirk "You sayin I'm wrong?"

"I don't like sounding cliché, but yes, my family and I weren't dying of poverty but we sure weren't rich."

"Livin in the city? You were middle class at least "

"I didn't grow up in the city"

"Then where did u grow up, here?" He asked sarcastically.

"I grew up 3 towns away, about 50 miles from the town"

He paused his stirring, his eyes grew wide and he turned to me "You grew up in Yanner? The town of dust?"

"Yup, grumpiest people you'd ever meet", I said with a smile

"Then why you and yer family in the city, no one ever leaves yanner"

"Like I said, we weren't dying and I was smart kid. I got scholarships and my pa was the only farm that had kinda decent soil to farm"

"Fuck, millie, I didn't even grow up that fuckin poor. What school did you go to?"

"The one here actually, It wasn't fun" I smiled

He looked puzzled, does that mean they went to the same school? "why did you hate it, the kids too posh" he said dryly

I giggled " Nah, it was the drive here and back. Spent most of my day in those buses. Woke up at 4 am to get to school and got home at 6pm. Just in time to make and pack jam with my ma"

"School started at 8 and ended at 2, you tellin me you spent 8 hours a day just on a fuckin bus and u still went to school and did ya chores at home???"

"Yup! It was ok tho, got most of my homework and studying done on those buses. So I had a lot of free time when I got home and over the week ends"

"What did u even do on the weekends? Sleep?"

I chuckled "I wish. I was helping my ma sell the jam at this cute little tea shop in town. Ah I fucking loved making jam with my ma, she preped the fruit, I cooked and jarred them"

"Sounds to me u did all the work" he said a bit annoyed that my mom didn't do more with me.

"It was the deal tho, if I didn't want to help pick, clean, cut and peel the fruit, I'd have to make and jar the jam myself. I hated prep"

He shook his head with a smile on his face, of course she hates prep, the lazy shit. "You said u went to the school nearby? How old are u? I never saw u around."

"I didn't see u either, maybe you graduated before me. We also hung out with very different ppl. You probably would have bullied me, heh"

He didn't say anything for a while, he was a pretty shitty kid "I'm 25, the class of 2023"

My eyes when wide "no fucking ways. You're a lying shit"

"What, why tf am I a lying shit!?" He said annoyed.

I laughed hysterically "how tf am I 3 years older than u. I was the class of 2020"

It was his turn to looked shocked "THERES NO FUCKIN WAY YER 28, YER LITERALLY STILL IN SCHOOL "

"Yes fucking way. I've been studying for 5 years dude, i just dropped out fer a while cuz I developed a stress disorder so I looked after my family and worked for a mechanic in town."

"Who? There's only 3 mechanics in this area and my best friends one of them." He said like I just told him the most unbelievable thing in the world.

I rolled my eyes,"It wasn't Jackie, it was Mike, he was fine as fuck."

"Gross, don't be thinkin nasty things while talkin to me." He said a little upset but definitely grossed out.

"What? Can't a girl appreciate a guy's  good looks"

"Not when it's u Millie, I can practically see what u thinkin and it could make a sailor blush"

"Someones blushing alright" I smirked looking at ben's red ears.He scoffed , turning back to the jam. He was clearly embarrassed and annoyed, and decided to ignore me.

I didn't mind though, the silence was nice. It allowed me to look at the house more. It was quite big since it housed 2 other men, Jackie and Grant, they were sweet fellas and kind enough to let me stay here until Jackie fixed my car.

I hopped off the counter and walked towards Ben, he took notice of this but ignored me so I got closer til my chin rested on his shoulder.

"Can ya back off a lil, I'm tryna bottle this hot shit and I don't wanna spill", he said a little disgruntled

"Nah, you’re fine, plus if ya burn yourself I'll kiss it better,"  I said with a chuckle, a joke to lighten the old grump but instead of rolling his eyes or pushing me off, he froze and looked at me with wide eyes and his ears a bright red and looked back to the jam he was pouring into a jar. He slowly tilted further and further from the jar and closer to his hand, my eyes went wide and I pulled  his hand away "WAIT! I was joking, if you wanted a kiss, could've just asked"

He burnt even redder now, turning his head as far away from me as possible, under his breath he mumbled and 'oh' and I laughed. I turned his head to face to face me and tried to stare into his eyes but he averted contact, clearly very embarrassed. I giggled again and kissed his bottom lip since I was too short to reach his full mouth.

That got his attention since he gasped and looked at me with wide eyes, now his whole face was red, from his ears to his neck and probably lower, "Do you want me to do it again?"

"Yes”

Heyyyy…so this is kinda embarrassing but I wanted my bbg koi to judge it cuz this has been in the making for 2 years. HOPE U LIKE MWAH MHWA

Byakuya’s Falconry Teahouse

Or, you know the Shihouin Falconry Teahouse, or the Shiba Falconry Teahouse, or whoever. Because I am me *I* never turn down an opportunity to imagine Byakuya in A Getup.

I visited the Hama-Rikyu Gardens, a restored Edo Period garden in Chuo City, which were really exciting to me because they had 1) A FALCONRY TEAHOUSE, and 2) a saltwater pond, because the gardens are situated right on Tokyo Bay. How cool is that?? A saltwater pond! I love canal locks.

I wanted to share some details that might serve as inspiration for any and all of your Bleach purposes, as they are now serving mine.

First of all, this one garden has five teahouses in it, which seems like a lot of teahouses--but as someone who owns a lot of tea, who am I to judge, really. I act like if there were a Teahouse Tycoon game I wouldn’t put 19 teahouses on one island.

This is what Soul Society would look like if Yamamoto didn’t put his foot down and pass municipal codes to keep the architecture uniform and period, LOL.

I only took pictures of the Falconry Teahouse, my beloved, but they were all architecturally very different, which I thought had a fun, like, Disneyland effect. Shoguns, amirite. If your eyes don’t mind very tiny text, here’s some info about the others:

The falconry teahouse was located near the duck-hunting grounds, where ducks were hunted with nets and--you guessed it--raptors.

There was a shrine for the ducks they killed:

The Falconry Teahouse (or Hawk Teahouse) takes the Bass Pro approach, with a much more rustic, countryside aesthetic than the others. I am obsessed with the roof in particular:

THICC

Here it’s closed up in storm shutter mode, because it was a cleaning day, but it continues its rustic aesthetic indoors as well, with a dirt-packed floor and stove area. This is so its users would have room to sit around in it without taking off all their falconry gear and shoes and whatnot.

I joked about the Disneyland effect, but as you can see from the first photo in this post, the next tea house is basically across the street, and looks nothing like this one. We have a teahouse at home, but we built another one.

I assume there’s ducks that non-shinigami nobles spend their time hunting, but I also like the idea of divisions having outposts out in Rukongai, since it makes sense to have bases of operations that are closer at hand than the Seireitei, given that even the Seireitei is so large it can’t be quickly traversed (or so we’re told when we’re first introduced to it).

Ope, I lied, I do have a photo of a non-Falconry Teahouse teahouse. This is a wood detail on the Tsubame, or Swallowtail, teahouse:

I’m gonna be honest with you, this is not the most virtuoso woodburning I’ve ever seen, but still think it’s cool, and adds a loving character detail to the structure!

Maybe the only shinigami who can effectively navigate the Seireitei are the ones who know to look for the poorly stenciled birds on each building. (Real talk, I was looking for a meeting room at my workplace once, and after locating it I was told that the rooms are all named for local water features, and their relative elevation correlates to what floor the meeting room was on. It was a REVELATION.)

Romance Kingdom! ~Sugar Sweet Destiny~ DAY 2

Y/N: Morning already! Let’s have a sweet day today.

Since I had received that anonymous confession and chocolate yesterday, I came to school with a completely different mindset.

What can I say? Somehow even a boring, peaceful day now felt exciting.

I no longer felt strange watching the other students get excited about possible confessions from secret admirers.

I even started to think that liking someone for their charms and cherishing them from afar was actually a very beautiful thing.

If only I had realized that sooner, perhaps I would not have been so bored at school.

Herbert Hoo: Oh, good morning, Y/N! Isn’t today just absolutely beautiful? Y/N: Good morning, Herbert. Oh, you have some sweat on your forehead. Come closer, I’ll wipe that for you. Herbert Hoo: Ah! Tha-thank you. Herbert Hoo: The after-school club promotion week starts today, so I was preparing stuff for that this morning. The gardening club is planning to show off some useful gardening tips. Herbert Hoo: Y/N, you haven’t joined a club yet, right? Y/N: That’s right. I couldn’t really figure out which one to pick. Herbert Hoo: Then this upcoming week is the perfect chance to find out! Herbert Hoo: Have a good look around. I’m sure there will be a club perfect for you Y/N… Herbert Hoo: If… you don’t mind, would you like to check out the gardening club as well?

A) Of course.

Y/N: Of course.

B) I’ll think about it.

Y/N: I’ll think about it.

Herbert Hoo: Alright. Herbert Hoo: Then I’ll see you later, Y/N!

Come to think of it, I’d forgotten all about the club promotion week.

Honestly, I had never signed up for a club because making new friends was so tiring, and I would rather go home and play games.

But now I felt a new urge to actively make friends.

This whole club experience might be a good opportunity for me! So, where should I start?

A) Should I try going out to the garden?

Thinking about clubs, the most passionate person I know came to mind. I trudged out to the garden and looked in between the trees.

Herbert Hoo: Ah, Y/N!

Look at him, he’s got dirt all over him… but it looks like he’s having fun.

Herbert Hoo: I’m glad to see you here. Are you here to join the gardening club?

A.A) No way, you know I’m terrible with plants.

Y/N: No way, you know I’m terrible with plants. Herbert Hoo: Ah… That’s right… I’m sorry, I must’ve misunderstood. Herbert Hoo: It would be great if you joined the gardening club but… What I’m trying to say is that dirt and plants are good for your health! A-and it’s exercise as well. Although the same goes for other clubs… Herbert Hoo: So, what I’m saying is… We have plants that are easy to care for as well! Would you like to at least… look around?

A.B) No, I just came to see you.

Y/N: No, I just came to see you. Herbert Hoo: Ah… Ah, I see! Ye- Yeah! Come on in! Herbert Hoo: But- Ah, I was just taking care of some weeds so I have grass and dirt all over, goodness… Of course, that doesn’t mean I’m not glad to see you! Herbert Hoo: So, what I’m saying is… Would you like to take a look around? There are loads of plants I’ve looked after!

Herbert took my hand, and we walked around the garden together.

Herbert Hoo: That’s a marigold, those are white lilies… oh, and that’s a maple tree that you can harvest syrup from in the winter! Y/N: Maple syrup? Herbert Hoo: Ah, yes! Haven’t you had that on pancakes before? It’s harvested from maple trees! Herbert Hoo: In the gardening club, we also take our tea with a spoon of maple syrup. Would you like to try it? Y/N: Uh, yes please. How interesting…

The herbal tea I was given tasted sweet, almost like something I had before…

Y/N: Hm, this tastes kind of familiar… Herbert Hoo: O-Oh? Isn’t it the taste of the herbal tea I used to make you back in the day? Y/N: Ah, is it…? Well, it’s really tasty. Herbert Hoo: Good to hear! If you ever want a cup of tea, please come by. After all, you’re welcome anytime, Y/N.

B) I wonder where the most popular club is?

The most popular club is obviously… that place! I grabbed my bag and headed towards the gym, as if I were following Rachel there.

Beenis: Everyone’s already warmed up and practicing with such intensity. No wonder our school’s fencing club is famous nationwide. Fencing Club Senior: You there! Are you here to take a stab at fencing? We have a quick survey first, then I’ll teach you the basics over there. Y/N: Yes! I’m ready. Fencing Club Senior: First, why do you want to learn fencing?

B.A) I want to get stronger.

Y/N: I want to get stronger.

B.B) I want to make friends

Y/N: I want to make friends.

Fencing Club Senior: Why do you think fencing is the sport for you?

B.A) It's about honor, skills, and a fair fight.

Y/N: It's about honor, skills, and a fair fight.

B.B) It's about becoming the very best.

Y/N: It's about becoming the very best.

Fencing Club Senior: I see. So that's what you think, eh? Rachel Raspberry: I can take it from here!

Rachel appeared out of nowhere.

Y/N: Rachel! Rachel Raspberry: Came to take a look at the fencing club? Well, what do ya think? It's really something, isn't it?

The entire gym was filled with members of the fencing club. Bursts of shouts and effort, the swinging and thrusts of swords echoed throughout the place. Everyone's swords were so accurate, they could probably pierce through dust flying in the air.

Y/N: It's awesome! But I doubt I can ever be this good. Rachel Raspberry: It'll probably take you a 1,000 years to get on my level, haha!

Despite saying that, she told me to get changed. Once I got back, she showed me the basic grip and form. Before I knew it, we were facing each other as if we were about to partake in a match.

Rachel Raspberry: Listen up. You're just a newbie who doesn't know a parry from a riposte, but I'm gonna show you what the fencing club is made of. Rachel Raspberry: Watch and learn! Rachel Raspberry: Hyaah! Hup, hyaah! Fencing Club Classmate: Did you just see that? WOW! What finesse and speed! No wonder Rachel's the star of the fencing club. Rachel Raspberry: Your turn, Y/N! Try and hit me! Y/N: H-H-Here I go!

I swiped forward with everything I had… but Rachel was too quick. She blocked with a simple swish of her sword and immediately countered, straight for my belly.

Y/N: OOOF! Rachel Raspberry: So? Ready to admit it'll take you 1,000 years to get on my level?

B.A) I'll get there one day.

Y/N: I'll get there one day.

B.B) There's no way I'll catch up to you.

Y/N: There's no way I'll catch up to you.

Once we finished with the basics, Rachel took a lap around the gym, giving pointers to the other students before finding a secluded corner to practice on her own. I kept practicing the basics with some of the other newcomers. Time flew by without notice until someone blew a whistle and told everyone that we were done for the day. Everyone bustled about to leave and get changed, but Rachel just kept on practicing. At that moment, her sweaty yet determined face… glowed. There's no other way to describe it.

That turned out to be better than expected… I still got time to explore. Where to now?

C) I prefer solitude.

Y/N: School clubs… Come to think of it, I really didn’t want to join any. Making new friends always ends in sadness anyway… Y/N: I prefer being alone…

I kept walking through the empty halls until I found myself walking towards the back of the school… towards the dumpsters.

Y/N: Wha… Why did I…?!

Come to think of it, this place is really quiet. Tranquil, almost. But it’s only quiet because… Well… This part of the school belongs to me. The one who flunks every year. The son of some shady, scary corporation boss. The student whose name instills fear in the hearts of all students… Derek DaChoco!

Derek DaChoco: You again…?

Derek was sitting on the stairs, a crunched lollipop in his hand. From his expression, it seemed like he didn’t want to be disturbed.

C.A) You didn’t tell me how old you are

Y/N: You er… didn’t tell me how old you are.

Derek spat out the crunched lollipop onto the ground. I flinched a few steps back, only to bump into the punks from yesterday. Seemed like they belonged to Derek’s posse now.

Senior Class Bully 1: Hey, you there. Got some cash? Y/N: This is all I have… I was going to buy a new workbook… Senior Class Bully 2: Well, well. Thanks for sharing, kid. Now run along and go play nicely somewhere else. Y/N: …Right. Derek DaChoco: …… Y/N: Derek… DaChoco…

I gave Derek a desperate look, but he acted like he didn’t know me as he leaned against the wall. But I thought… I thought we had something. Seriously… Faith in humanity shattered.

~BAD ENDING~

C.B) Might as well stay for a bit.

Y/N: The school clubs are on the hunt for new members to reel in… None of them seem worth joining. Derek DaChoco: …?

Is that curiosity in his gaze? Was it something I said? I’m more used to the nonchalant, uncaring gazes from the other students, but there’s something childlike about these eyes…

Y/N: I… I don’t like making friends, getting close to someone. That special something… It turns out to be a lie and I just end up getting hurt is all.

Derek crunched his lollipop and let out a long sigh. His response, though, was different this time. Soft, almost like a whisper upon the breeze.

Derek DaChoco: I know how you feel. Y/N: Huh? Pardon? Derek DaChoco: School clubs. Heh… I used to be in the fencing club. My father was good with a sword too, and he… Well, he used to be proud of me. Derek DaChoco: I always won the sparring matches against the senior class. Yeah… They didn’t like losing to the unfriendliest freshman. Derek DaChoco: I became the fencing club’s main target, a stain on their reputation. They surrounded me. I was outnumbered. I didn’t stand a chance. Y/N: Oh… Derek DaChoco: Someone from the judo club asked me to join… But the same thing happened again. Y/N: But… So you just stood there? You didn’t fight back? Derek DaChoco: Back then? No… I used to think the club members were like family. I was naive, foolish. Y/N: Those bullies…! How dare they!

I noticed my fists were clenched, shaking with anger. But Derek just let out a soft chuckle and smiled.

Derek DaChoco: Heh… Y/N: Was that a laugh? Did you just laugh? You just laughed!

Just then, I recognized the voices of the bullies getting closer and closer. Derek’s faint smile vanished and he waved his hand as if he were chasing away a fly.

Derek DaChoco: It’s time for you to leave. I’m busy. Y/N: Er… OK, Derek. Be seeing you… Don’t er… get hurt, or anything.

Just as he walked past me, I swear I noticed a silent and subtle nod.

D) I’ll go around and look first.

Y/N: I'll go around and have a look first.

I decided to take a stroll around the school to see what sort of clubs might suit me. But…

Marcus Madeleine: Haha! It seems that no one in the varsity basketball team can block my shots!

Marcus Madeleine: Oh? A rose! Such a worthy flower of my radiance. It's for me, you say? Thank you!

Reading Club Fans: President Madeleine! We're holding an open poetry session in our book club! Will you join us? Marcus Madeleine: A poetry reading! MARVELOUS! I shall make sure to be there. Reading Club Fans: SQUEAL! Really? REALLY?! Thanks so much!

I swear… His hair is so bright that the color is almost burned into my retinas… I rubbed my eyes to get a hold of my bearings.

Y/N: I'm not hallucinating, am I? I swear that it seems like Marcus is a part of every club imaginable. Marcus Madeleine: HAHA! My genius and expertise are unparalleled! It'd be a shame to waste such brilliance on a single club! Y/N: EEP! Y-y-you heard that?

D.A) Well, it's true.

Y/N: Well, if only there were as many of you as there are clubs, our school would be perfect… Marcus Madeleine: …Hm? Marcus Madeleine: HAHAHA! Is that what you think? Then I must apologize, for there can only be one as unique and dashing as l!

That line must've hit a chord with someone because they immediately swooned and fainted.

Marcus Madeleine: I wish to visit your club as well. Tell me, Y/N, which club are you in? Y/N: Oh… I haven’t joined one yet. Marcus Madeleine: Yet another shame! Please do tell me later which one you've decided to join. In fact, come tell me while visiting the Student Council office!

And just like that… he left, waving his hand high up in the air like a movie star on the red carpet Naturally, a wave of students came crashing by, each of them screaming at Marcus and pleading for him to visit their clubs too.

D.B) What about your student council duties?

Y/N: Erm… Do you even have time for Student Council duties? Marcus Madeleine: O-o-of course I do!

Behind Marcus, I could subtly make out the Vice President shaking their head…

Marcus Madeleine: I'll have you know that I am utmost dutiful to my role as a student and as the council's president! Ahem, ahem! Marcus Madeleine: Speaking of students! Tell me, Y/N, which club are you in? Y/N: Oh, I haven't joined one yet, but I'm still looking! Marcus Madeleine: Splendid! You're the type whose heart yearns for the perfect match! Perhaps the Vice President can help you find that perfect club you seek. Marcus Madeleine: Do come and visit the Student Council office sometime! The Vice President welcomes such impromptu visits.

And just like that… he left. The Vice President gave me a silent nod and followed suit. I suddenly realized I was surrounded by Marcus's fan club. They remained silent, but their eyes practically screamed, "Don't you dare join our club or Marcus will never come visit."

Oh wow, it’s already this late? Maybe I can squeeze in time to visit one other place.

E) I should ask someone.

I should ask everyone else what clubs they joined.

Y/N: Hey, I wanted to ask you… Eeeek!! Lovesick Classmate: Huh? Is it about clubs? Are you interested in joining the astronomy club? So am I!!

The friend that looked at me with sparkling eyes was the same friend who had dragged me off to help them confess to Serena.

Y/N: No, just forget it- …Ahhhh!

Once again, I was dragged off somewhere. This time to the astronomy club.

The astronomy club was small but well-organized. The club room was decorated with endless astronomy-related items, like a model of the solar system, various telescopes, and posters of the planets. We played around with the various equipment while waiting for someone to show up, but in the end it was just the two of us.

Lovesick Classmate: Rumor has it that the club has closed down… I guess it’s actually true.

Disappointed, my classmate left the room. What should I do…

E.A) I’ll just go home.

I guess the club really has closed down.

Y/N: Hey, wait up! You’re the one that dragged me here!

I quickly ran after my classmate.

When I came back to the classroom, it was already getting dark outside. I quickly grabbed my bag and headed outside. It’s a long way back to the main gate… Since I’m late and there’s no one around, maybe I should just go to the back entrance? But I heard the sketchy students that eat junk food and steal your lunch money hang out there sometimes… I thought about it for a moment but couldn’t resist the temptation to take the short route instead of crossing the school yard. I headed towards the back of the school.

Senior Class Bully: Hey, you there. Got some cash?

Oh no… Just me and my luck…

Y/N: This is all I have… I was going to buy a new workbook… Senior Class Bully 2: Well, well. Thanks for sharing, kid. Now run along and go play nicely somewhere else. Y/N: …Right. Derek DaChoco: …… Y/N: Derek… DaChoco…

I gave Derek a desperate look, but he acted like he didn’t know me as he leaned against the wall. But I thought… I thought we had something. Seriously… Faith in humanity shattered.

~BAD ENDING~

E.B) I’ll wait around a bit longer.

I came all this way. Waiting some more wouldn’t hurt. It’s hard to say how long passed after that. But once again, I soon felt a presence behind me. As I turned to look, I saw Serena leaning against the doorframe as she stared at me.

Y/N: Ahh! Serena Faire! Serena Faire: Hello? Ah, you’re that student I met previously… Serena Faire: Thank you for showing an interest in the astronomy club… I thought I’d always be the only member… Y/N: Oh, really? That won’t do. I mean, astronomy is so interesting… Serena Faire: The club closing would mean losing this space and all the equipment too… So I thought about what to do, but. Serena Faire: I’m simply too shy. Y/N: Oh, well. That’s okay. I came, after all! Serena Faire: ……

Serena smiled softly at my words. Her smile was so lovely and beautiful.

Serena Faire: You must have been waiting since I came late… I came just in time to see the moon rise, you see. Serena Faire: Yes, I love astronomy, but I like the moon more than anything else in the sky. Serena Faire: The mortal moon hath her eclipse endured…

As I watched Serena mumble to herself, I couldn’t help but think of how cute she was once again. Then, Serena showed me how to use the telescope to see the stars better.

Y/N: Serena… How come you like the moon so much? Serena Faire: I wonder as well… Serena Faire: When I look up at the moon… it’s as if it soothes all my pain and sorrow away. Serena Faire: So I want to be closer to it but… also feel pained that it is impossible. Serena Faire: And that makes me think… is the moon actually soothing me? Or is it making me suffer?

Serena went silent again, as if lost in deep thoughts. After staying by her for a moment I said goodbye and left the astronomy club.

F) The science club looks quiet…

Y/N: The science club looks quiet…

And Lily White seems so kind as well… I quit hesitating and made my way to the science club.

Y/N: It’s always so quiet around here… It’s kind of nice.

Y/N: Hello…? Lily, are you there? Lily White: …! Y/N? Y/N: Oh, hello. I was just dropping by, but here you are. Lily White: Mhm… I have to avoid the sunlight, so I always stay here in the lab. Lily White: What's the occasion? Is everyone being noisy again?

F.A) This'll be my secret hide-out now!

Y/N: I was thinking of making this my secret hide-out from now on! Lily White: Pardon…? Lily White: I know I said you could visit anytime you needed some peace and quiet, but… Lily White: Are you saying you'll take the lab, my peaceful sanctuary, and make it your own?

As Lily's expression turned cold, so did the atmosphere of the lab.

F.A.A) It’s not like you own the lab…

Y/N: It's not like you own the lab… Y/N: I can come whenever I want, what's wrong with that? Lily White: …

The atmosphere slowly changed for the worse.

Lily White: I see… Like I said, this school's students need to be taught many things, and they've still much to learn. Lily White: They’re so noisy and disrespectful… Lily White: It’s students like you that get in the way of me creating the perfect school. Lily White: I'll have to add classes on good manners in my next attempt… Y/N: I… Huh? What? Lily White: That's right… Perhaps project no.183452 will yield better results.

I noticed that it was suddenly getting darker outside… What was happening?

Lily White: Then I'll have to abandon this version. I learned an important lesson thanks to you, Y/N. Lily White: Thank you!

[The program will restart after the update.] After reading that sentence, I felt myself disappearing little by little… Ah… Perhaps I shouldn't have been so rude…

~BAD ENDING~

F.A.B) Just kidding, I came to see you!

Y/N: J-Just kidding! I came to see you of course! Lily White: Huh…? Me?

The air in the room turned warm and pleasant again.

Lily White: Hehe, alright. But don't joke like that again, okay?

I nodded vigorously. I had a feeling that I should definitely try to avoid making Lily angry…

F.B) Thank you for yesterday.

Y/N: No, I just wanted to thank you for yesterday. Y/N: And everyone was talking about what club to join, so I thought of the science club… Lily White: I see… That makes me happy. Lily White: You being thankful, and that you want to join the science club. Lily White: But the science club isn't accepting new members right now. Y/N: Oh, that’s too bad… Lily White: But I'll think of you as an honorary member, so please come visit anytime you'd like, Y/N. Y/N: Really? Would that be alright? Lily White: Of course. Hehe.

I felt a strange sensation in my chest as I watched Lily smile faintly, looking almost translucent in the shadows.

Y/N: Everyone I met in their clubs seemed so different from their usual selves in the classroom. Y/N: It made me realize that I had learned something new. Y/N: That people really shine when they’re doing what they love. Sometimes, it even makes you see that person in a new light. Y/N: I wonder if I have such a side to me as well…?

Before I could come up with an answer, I fell asleep with a content smile on my face.
