I’ve done something terrible- An abridged chapter guide for Detective Conan
Every few years I come back to this series and try to get caught up. To help this process, I’ve combed the wiki’s to gather the plot relevant cases, every appearance of the detectives, notable cases, etc. and combined them into a handy cheat sheet to skip the ‘filler’ cases. 
At the time I posted this, there are 1102 chapters of this manga! to make it slightly more manageable (lol) I did this list.
Here is that list, continued under the Read More
Some notes- 
please add onto this post if I’ve missed something! The wiki’s weren’t always as detailed as I needed, so if I’ve missed a Kaito-kid case or a detective appearance, please let me know!
when cases are back to back, I just included them in the same group. That’s why you have lumps like (417-459) I also don’t hate myself enough to label the individual cases sorry not sorry.
1-2
13-16
30-35
49-51
59-67
72-80
84-86
92-96
111-124
131-138
150-159
163-165
170-172
176-181
187-196

720-721
723-727
731-752
755
768-770
775-787
790- current
starting from 790, I haven’t really noticed a case without a significant character appearance, plot progression, character moment, or some other reason to include it in this list. If you disagree, please send me your list, I’m sure it’ll be much less headache inducing than compiling this monster will be.

home | Luke Hughes
summary: after a long day, being with Luke was just what you needed.
warnings: none
author note: this is my first time writing something, like ever. if you have any feedback or suggestions please let me know :)
Tumblr media
It had been a long day.
it started with your boss giving you terrible feedback on your most recent assignment, and made you revise the whole thing. then, your coworker called out sick and you were left with all of her paperwork and emails along with your own.
you felt so pressured to get all of the work done so you didn’t stop. you were staring at your computer all day. your fingers ached from all the typing, your eyes burned, and a terrible headache had begun to form just around lunchtime.
needless to say, it was brutal.
it felt like a miracle when the day came to an end. you just wanted to get home, get in some comfy clothes and relax with luke.
as you got in your car and began your drive home, all of the stress and anxiety from the day seemed to be hitting you at once. you truly were exhausted.
once you finally arrived home, you couldn’t help but eagerly throw open the door of your shared apartment, your bag down and kick your shoes off. you let out a sigh of relief at the feeling as you do so.
upon hearing all the ratchet luke calls out to you “babe?” he says, “that you?”
“yeah, it’s me.” you shout back, slightly flinching at the pain in your head the noise caused.
luke comes out to greet you wearing a smile on his face, only for it to slightly drop after taking in your entire appearance. you looked tired. you had bags under your eyes and your hair was messy from having run your fingers through it so many times, even your clothes were wrinkly.
once he reaches you, luke brings you into a warm embrace. you immediately relax against him, your arms wrapped loosely around his waist and your head rested against his chest. he places a tender kiss on your forehead and begins to gently rub up and down your back knowing it’s something that helps relax you.
“rough day at work?” he asks,
“rough doesn’t even begin to describe it.” you mumbled back into his shirt.
“i’m sorry baby. how about we go lay down for a bit, hm? get you out of these clothes and maybe watch a movie?” he responds hoping to make you feel better.
“yeah, that sounds nice” you say just liking the idea of being with luke.
“alright, come on”
he begins to lead you back to your shared bedroom and over to the bed. he walks over to the dresser and grabs one of his old t-shirts and a pair of your pajama shorts. he then walks back over to you and helps you undress. you loved moments like these. they were intimate moments, gentle and so full of love but never anything sexual.
once you’re dressed, you both settle into the bed. luke is laying down on his back, an arm wrapped around your shoulders, his hand playing with the ends of your hair and the other drawing meaningless shapes on your back. you got comfortable as you laid directly atop of him, your head resting on his chest as you listened to his steady heart beat. you closed your eyes taking a deep breath inhaling luke’s familiar scent and placed a gentle kiss to his clothed chest.
“i love you” he whispered, just as he thought you were drifting off.
“i love you too” you whisper back, not wanting to miss an opportunity to tell luke how much you loved and appreciated him.
“i love you more,” he challenged you.
“i love you most,” you say with certainty in your voice.
luke just chuckled softly at you knowing he wasn’t going to win this battle. he kissed your head one last time before drifting off himself.

Midnight
Lena sighs. She takes a moment to pull her hands away from her laptop, stretches her wrists. Her shoulders are aching from sitting at her desk all day, her eyes are dry and she can feel the early signs of a headache from staring at her screen for too long.
It’s late. Late, late. Midnight came and went a while ago, and at this point, Lena knows there’s no point in going home. She sighs again, glancing over at the couch in her office. A short nap might help, but for now, she gets up and steps out onto her balcony for some fresh air.
As she stares out at the city, at some of the lights in the buildings across from L-Corp, she wonders, not for the first time, how she ended up here. She never wanted to lead her father’s company. If someone had asked her about her career plans five years ago, she would have talked about her cancer research, about getting her hands dirty in a lab, not about reviewing legal paperwork at 2 a.m. If her dreams about the future included her name in the news, it was always in the context of winning some award for an invention, for pushing medical research closer to curing serious diseases.
Not for being the sister of a notorious madman.
With her hands on the railing of the balcony, Lena rolls her head to both sides, trying to relieve some of the tension in her muscles. It’s then that she hears something flapping in the wind. She recognizes the sound, of course, but she’s still surprised to hear the soft thud of boots landing next to her at this time of night.
“Supergirl. You’re up late. Or, early?”
Lena turns her head a little to take in the other woman’s features. She looks about as tired as Lena feels.
“Full moon,” Kara mutters, pointing at the bright orb illuminating the sky above the city. “Always makes for busy nights for me.”
“Ah. Well, if you came to check if I’ve turned into a werewolf by now, I’m sorry to disappoint.”
Kara lets out a small chuckle.
“You’d make a cute werewolf.”
“Excuse me?” Lena huffs in mock exasperation, eyebrow raised. “I would be a scary and terrifying wolf.”
There’s another chuckle, and then: “Of course, Miss Luthor. Very terrifying…ly cute.”
Now it’s Lena’s turn to laugh a little as she bumps her shoulder against Kara’s.
After a moment of silence, Kara turns to face her.
“Are you ready to go home? Or is it an all-nighter for you again?”
“I’m afraid I still have a few things to finish up,” Lena sighs. 
Kara grimaces and nods. “Alright, I’ll leave you to it, then. But maybe I’ll drop by in a few hours and bring you an extra large coffee?”
“I would love that.”
When Lena wakes up from a short nap at around 5:30 a.m., rubbing her tired eyes, she spots an oversized travel mug on her desk, next what looks like a hastily scribbled note that reads:
The barista promised that there’s no silver or wolfsbane in this!

The hands that hold you ch9: Here for you
SatoSugu x GN!reader master list
It's finally here! Also holyshit we're at chapter 9. This series is the longest thing i've ever written solo before. I know this one was super delayed. Between me getting horribly sad and depressed over certain events for several weeks and just being busy this one took a while. It also took a bit because it was hard to write emotionally for me. Reader goes through it in this chapter for a bit. We get a bit more of a glimpse into things they've been rather tight lipped about and then.. well i'll say it because he's his own warning label, Naoya shows up. Note: 1.While at the beginning of second year Yaga is still a teacher I had him get his promotion by the fall for the exchange event to principle though he still maintains his teaching duties as well. 2. I said it before but i'll make note of it again, since the japanese school year typically starts in the spring it is still Satoru and Suguru's second year. CW: GN!reader, Afab!reader (I haven't said it explicitly until now but given the self inserty nature of this reader and how Naoya treats them it's fairly obvious. Only they/them pronouns are used for reader), Allusions to past abuse, the word whore is used. If you've gotten this far you probably already know that reader is foreigner who was adopted by Yaga (Listen i look at him and all my thoughts are "dad? Dad.You're my dad now." Don't ask why.) ___
“That’s such crap! It was fine when Suguru and I competed a year early for the exchange event! We should be able to participate this year too.” Satoru’s voice cuts into the hall as you walk alongside Haibara causing the two of you to slow your steps as you pass the classroom. 
Inside Satoru looks annoyed, arms crossed and leaning back in his desk chair. Suguru only looks mildly disgruntled by the news Yaga is giving the two of them. 
Yaga sighs. “You weren’t special grade yet. You’re a lot stronger than a year ago. I’ve already talked to Gakuganji about it. He's firm on the fact that the two of you shouldn’t compete since having two special grades will unfairly tilt the odds of the competition in Tokyo’s favor. “ 
Satoru replies, voice mocking Yaga’s, “Yeah well it unfairly tilts the odds in kyoto’s favor if you put us down two students,” he then continues in his normal voice, “And maybe if kyoto’s students were stronger they wouldn’t have to disqualify us to win. Guess they’re not over losing last year because of a pair of first years.” Suguru makes a sound that could be taken as agreement. 
“The terms of the competition have already been set, Satoru.” Yaga runs a hand over his short hair, frustration building. He could understand both sides of it and while he wasn't a fan himself it was what it was. 
Haibara and yourself are too focused on what’s being said inside the classroom to notice as Nanami walks up behind the two of you. “What the hell are you two doing?”
You squeak and Haibara gasps , you both startle enough to jump slightly and Haibara’s larger frame jerking against yours causes you to fall over, pushing the door open as you face plant onto the floor followed by Haibara falling on top of you. 
The tension in the room breaks slightly as everyone falls silent and stares at the two of you. 
You groan out what could only be deciphered as an ‘ow’ from beneath Haibara, unable to be embarrassed immediately with your face squished into the floor and all of your friend’s muscle crushing down on you. 
“Ah! Sorry, ___!” He rolls off you quickly, still on the floor. You push yourself up, rising to your knees, pointedly staring at the floor, both out of embarrassment and just knowing you’re in trouble. The stifled laugh from Satoru doesn’t help and flicking your eyes up shows Suguru has placed his hand over his mouth.
Yaga pinches the space between his brows and lets out a slow breath, doing his best to subdue his mounting irritation and rising headache. “Now I know you know better than to eavesdrop.” 
You shrink back and fold your hands on your lap, eyes remaining dowcast. Haibara has assumed a similar position but looks sheepish instead of nervous. In unison the two of you speak. “Sorry, Sensei.” 
“And you?” Yaga directs his attention behind the two of you. 
You can’t see it but Nanami raises his hands and shakes his head. “I was just passing by, I swear.” 
Yaga’s focus turns back to you and taking in your actual nervousness he sighs. “I suppose this works. How much did the two of you hear?”
You glance up at Yaga and shift uncomfortably. “Something about not allowing Satoru or Suguru to compete in the upcoming exchange event?” That was exactly what it had been of course but you phrase it as a question, something odd to your voice. It causes Suguru’s brows to knit together. If Satoru catches it he doesn’t let on and instead he groans and hangs his head back causing his glasses to slide onto his forehead at the reminder of what they’d been talking about before you and Haibara had interrupted.
Yaga nods. “That’s right. And If you didn’t hear Satoru did point out how when it comes to numbers the competition will be unbalanced. Shoko would be the only second year involved and her focus isn't combat. To balance out the numbers it’s not unheard of for first years to compete in the exchange event.“
Haibara speaks up. “Ah! So are you asking if we’ll be in the exchange event?” Excitent fills his voice and when you glance at him you swear his eyes are sparkling. Of course he’d be excited. Somewhere behind you  you swear you hear Nanami sigh. 
“That’s it exactly.” He confirms.
Nanami who hadn’t been eavesdropping, speaks up. “Wait, why aren’t Geto-senpai and Gojo-senpai competing? Wouldn’t they be a lot more likely to win-” and so another round of conversation and argument starts though by the end of it it’s decided that you and your fellow first years would indeed be competing in place of Suguru and Satoru. 
___
After, when you go to part ways from your boyfriends to go with Nanami and Haibara, Suguru stops you with a gentle hand on your wrist. “If you don’t mind, I'd like to steal you for a bit.” You turn and blink up at him and then glance at your classmates. Haibara gives you an encouraging wave. 
“We’ll see you later for the mission, yeah?” 
“Of course,” you try for a smile though it doesn’t entirely reach your eyes until you turn toward Suguru. It falters again though when you see the worry clear in his eyes. Oh. Oh this was probably going to be a not so fun conversation. A glance toward Satoru shows he’s also watching you more closely now that he’s not lamenting how unfair the situation with the exchange event is. 
Nanami and Haibara are already around a corner but you still try to make an excuse. “Ah actually maybe I should go with them-”
When both young men retain their serious air and Suguru maintains his hold on your wrist your shoulders deflate just a bit. You really hope he wants to talk to you about the eavesdropping but you know deep down that won’t be it. He wouldn’t care about that enough to pull you away from what you were already doing. Honestly you sort of wished that the two of them weren’t so observant right now.  “I don’t want to talk about it here, really I don’t want to talk about it at all, but if I can’t avoid it let's go to one of our dorms or somewhere else private…” 
“Of course,” Suguru replies gently, just glad that you’re showing some willingness to talk even if it’s reluctant. 
The walk to the dorms goes too quickly for your liking and when you enter Suguru’s room you go and flop face first on his bed. After you hear the door slide closed the bed dips twice, once on either side of you. 
“So you wanna tell us why you looked like a nervous rabbit back there?” Satoru’s voice is deceptively light despite going straight to the point. If your face wasn’t still buried in Suguru’s comforter you would have seen the look he shoots Satoru. Honestly though it was probably better that he was being direct. 
You mumble something into the comforter and then feel a hand on your shoulder before you’re being encouraged to roll onto your back, which you do. “No, I don't want to tell you. But I suppose the two of you won’t let this go until I do… It’s stupid honestly.” 
The young men share a glance before Suguru speaks up. “Can’t be stupid if it’s got you this stressed out. “
“It is though… I shouldn’t still be reacting that way after nearly three years away from…” You trail off your brows knitting together. 
It’s not hard for Suguru and Satoru to slot the pieces into place then.  You were always so reluctant to talk about your life before Yaga adopted you.  In fact anytime anyone has so much as tried to ask you more than the most basic questions about it you change the subject. 
“I was overreacting to the idea that I was about to be in trouble…” you continue quietly. “Even though Yaga sensei has never given me a reason to be nervous about it.” 
This was true, it had been something of note that Yaga was gentle even with his reprimands of you. Despite being a bit of a muscle brain in Suguru’s opinion he was more gentle than expected. Honestly both he and Satoru had just chalked it up to him having a soft spot for you since he’d taken you in. This was beginning to paint a more complete picture of why, even though you were still being purposefully vague. That’s when Suguru hears it, a small sniffle. He hadn’t realized he’d been getting lost in his head, fists clenched tightly on his lap until he looks over at you. Your lower lip wobbling slightly before you pull it between your teeth. 
“Hey hey… shhh..” Satoru’s hand rests on your cheek, thumb swiping beneath your eye catching a tear you hadn’t even realized slipped out. 
“I’m sorry-” your voice comes out tight, you hated that your walls you’d crafted so carefully around these particular emotions were cracking so easily. You’d hoped you could just speak matter of factly and clinically about it. But the show of care makes something give. 
Suguru’s laying down next to you in a moment, arm going around your waist. “Why are you apologizing? You didn’t do anything wrong.” 
That makes several more fat tears roll down your cheeks. And honestly? You weren’t sure why. You just know the show of emotion is making guilt constrict your chest. 
When you fail to answer Suguru tugs you against his chest, his eyes flicking up to Satoru after he tucks your head under his chin. Satoru runs a hand over your spine. “I’ll be right back okay? Gonna grab ya a couple things,” Satoru says in a soothing tone that would be unfamiliar to anyone but you and Suguru.  
When he comes back he’s brought tissues along with bottled water and your favorite snack. It doesn’t fix everything but it helps. The show of care helps a lot. Later the two of them will quietly agree to not push on this topic and to let you tell them things at your own pace, if you ever wanted to tell them at all. 
__
The time leading up to the exchange event passes about as peacefully as time can pass for young sorcerers. When your schedules line up you and your fellow first years train with Suguru and Satoru. Honestly you may have been a little too gleeful to see them get tossed around the training field like you’d been  for months. You still got tossed around too but at least Nanami and Haibara couldn’t tease you about it. Especially since it almost seemed like your boyfriends were harder on you than them. Tough love is what it could be chalked up to. If you wanted to train with them it wasn’t going to be half assed. It wasn’t like curses and curse users would take it easy on you just because you were the subject of affection for two of the strongest sorcerers. If anything it was a reason to train you harder. Both of them were painfully aware of how you could be viewed as a weak point for them.
It all goes by too quickly. Soon enough you’re meeting the students from Kyoto. Regrettably you’d soon realize. You stand in front of Shoko who’s sitting on an old stone fence, idly picking at some of the moss growing on it. Without looking at you she asks, “So are they going to show up to greet the Kyoto students?” 
 “Hmm? Satoru and Suguru? I doubt it. It was Kyoto’s principle that got them disqualified from the event and made it so Nanami, Haibara and I would have to sub in. Satoru was still pretty bitter about it all this morning.” You glance briefly at your fellow first years who are a small ways away from the two of you speaking with some third years you weren’t familiar with.
“And Geto?” Shoko’s words draw your focus back to her.
“I’m not sure he cares anymore. He seemed pretty apathetic about it all,” it was actually starting to worry you how many things he was starting to act apathetic about honestly. Well now that you thought about it he wasn’t entirely apathetic about the competition. “Well.. beyond asking me to be careful.” 
Shoko gives you a small smile. “Who knows, maybe that means he’ll show up just for you, maybe they both will.” 
Neither of you notice the figure approaching you.
You laugh a little, shyness and affection warming your chest at the idea. “Nah.. I mean they saw me this morning before I left. Satoru even got up early despite being grumpy about the event so he could have breakfast with me and see me off. Pretty sure he went back to bed after.” 
“Huh, so you must be the one since you’re using his first name all familiar like even though he’s older than you.” An unfamiliar voice cuts into your conversation, sounding unimpressed. 
You blink and turn, coming face to face with a blonde teenage boy you can only assume is one of the students from kyoto given his uniform. When did he come up behind you? Before you can say anything though he continues. 
“I guess your face is pretty enough that I can understand keeping you around.” 
Shoko mumbles something distinctly impolite under her breath while you bristle at the stranger’s words. You tip your chin up and meet his eyes with a glare. “Excuse me, just who are you to speak to me that way? I don’t even know you.” 
He sneers at you. The defiant look in your eye instantly pisses him off. “You’re right you don’t know or you wouldn’t speak to me like that. You’re what, just a little whore and an outsider sleeping with the future head of the Gojo clan and his best friend right? Hoping to advance your station in a place you don’t belong?” He takes a step toward you, invading your space. 
Your cheeks flush with angry heat, his words like a slap to the face. No one had ever called you something quite like that before. But more than that, the insinuation that you were using Satoru made your blood boil. Everything else falls away. You don’t even register Shoko’s hand on your shoulder or the rising voices before the loud crack of the back of your hand colliding with this jackass’s cheek creates a stunned hush among all present. 
He stands there in disbelief before his eyes narrow at you, with a snarl he grabs the front of your uniform, free hand drawing back- 
Satoru flops back onto the bed, stretching out all his limbs and entirely taking up the space earning him an unimpressed look from Suguru. “Are you really going to go back to bed?” followed by a mumbled ‘and get out of my bed if you're going to keep your day clothes on.’
“I mean we actually have the day off, everyone else is busy with the exchange event, what else is there to do but catch up on some well deserved rest?” He stretches his arms above his head in an exaggerated manner before folding them under his head. He pointedly ignores Suguru’s complaint about his state of dress.
“I feel we should be there at least for the initial meeting, Satoru.” 
“Why? We’re not participating,” a bit of annoyance creeps into his tone. “And we already wished ___  luck before they left to meet up with the others.” 
“That’s the thing… Who are the participants this year? On our end it’s our first years, Shoko and some third years that ___  hasn’t actually had a chance to meet. Utahime just entered her fourth year so she’s not competing. Then for Kyoto it’s…”
“A bunch of weaklings,” Satoru says flippantly before continuing. “Mei-san has also aged out of competing.” then a thought seems to occur to Satoru. Last year kyoto had a certain first year who made a fuss about not being allowed to compete while he and Suguru were. The smarmy smirk of a boy he’d seen more times than he’d of liked when he’d been pulled along on clan business by his father flashes through his mind. “Naoya is going to be there this year.”  He sits up and looks at Suguru. Apparently he’d been waiting to see if Satoru would come to the realization on his own. 
“Are we sure they’ll be okay running into him? Pretty sure other than you this will be their first time running into another student who’s a member of the three clans. And he’s from Zenin on top of it. He’d probably mostly behave if we were there as a buffer but I can only imagine the sorts of things he may say without us there. Especially if he catches them one on one. He’d probably bring up all the worst of the rumors too.” 
Satoru swings his legs over the side of the bed. “Tch. Can’t believe I forgot he’d be showing up this year..  Not to say I don’t trust ___ abilities but i’d rather not just leave them to deal with Naoya without warning..” It should have been an entire talk, not just about Naoya but about how sorcerer’s outside the school may view them based on rumors alone of the relationship the three of you share since none of you even attempted to hide it.
They leave in short order after that. Honestly they both hoped they were overreacting and that with other people around Naoya would behave. Then they could warn you of what to potentially expect from him during the actual competition so you wouldn’t be caught off guard. When the two of them see Yaga and Gakuganji along with several students from kyoto they have some hope until they notice Naoya isn’t among them. It’s not like you’re alone though and they know you’d hate if they made a scene of rushing to you if you weren’t in any trouble, so they casually approach the group. They brush off the suspicious glances from the two principles. Brushing off any questioning with comments of ‘what? Just because we can’t compete does that means we’re not allowed to show up and greet the other students? They can’t fight but they can show some goodwill for the goodwill exchange event right?’
It’s while they’re ascending the stairs that they hear some of Naoya’s words, venom dripping from his every word. And if the look on Yaga’s face is any indication he hears as well. 
“You’re right you don’t know or you wouldn’t speak to me like that. You’re what, just a little whore and an outsider sleeping with the future head of the Gojo clan and his best friend right? Hoping to advance your station in a place you don’t belong?”   The words silence all surrounding conversation once they leave Naoya’s mouth, finally getting the attention of the other surrounding students. 
Satoru’s blood boils, both at the words in general but the fact that he’d try to put in your head that you were using him in anyway. Yaga begins to say something but before the words seem to reach anyone they all watch wide eyed as the back of your hand connects with Naoya’s cheek. It wasn’t something anyone expected, least of all Naoya considering he hadn’t reacted at all until his head snapped to the side from the action. 
Both Satoru and Suguru see it though, the moment murder flashes in his eyes. Once he touches you though, one hand fisting into the front of your uniform while the other rears back Satoru is there in an instant his own hand wrapping around Naoya’s wrist, stopping him before he can do anything. “I knew you were an ass but I didn’t think you were stupid too, Naoya.” Satoru’s grip on his wrist is so tight that the bones creak. Suguru is there nearly as quickly smacking Naoya’s hand away from your uniform and pulling you to his chest.
“Tch” Naoya goes to yank his hand away but Satoru refuses to let go. 
“Enough!” All eyes turn toward Gakuganji, as he stands at the head of the stairs. Yaga’s jaw is set tight as he stands beside the old man. It’s only after meeting Yaga’s gaze that Satoru roughly releases Naoya’s wrist, which is already an angry color that will surely turn into a dark bruise. It's a tense meeting of the schools from that point. Satoru and Suguru crowded close to you and Shoko glaring daggers at Naoya. They’re not the only ones either. If looks could kill Naoya be dead several times over. 
Yaga looks you over and then around at the other Tokyo students. “You all go on ahead to the meeting room. I need to have a talk with Kyoto’s principal. Begin planning your strategy for the competition.”  No one argues as he walks off. 
The walk to the meeting room is uncomfortable. No one quite sure what they should say to you and you unsure what you would want to say back in turn at the moment. You feel embarrassed, ashamed even at how Naoya had spoken to you. The things he’d said run on repeat in your head and you stare at the ground as you walk. Suddenly Shoko is squeezing between you and Satoru and throwing an arm around your shoulders. “I want to talk to you for a minute.” She pulls you away from the rest of the group and when Satoru and Suguru try to follow she gives them a look. “I want to talk to ___-chan.” 
You give them the best reassuring smile you can. “It’s fine.” Your voice is thinner than you’d hoped it would be but after sharing a look they seem to decide that letting you go with Shoko is fine. 
“We won’t be far if you need us, alright?” Suguru offers gently.
You smile a little more genuinely. “Okay.” And with that Shoko leads you toward a different room. 
Flicking on a light and closing the door behind the two of you, Shoko then leads you to sit on a plush couch. Once seated you begin to speak, “I’m sor-” Shoko’s flicks your forehead and you let out a little ‘ow’ and rub at the spot instinctively.
“Don’t you even start apologizing. You didn’t do anything wrong,” she says firmly. The words ring familiar in your mind. You begin to speak again, to argue in some fashion but she covers your mouth. When you give up she huffs and continues, though her features soften. “Like I said, you didn’t do anything wrong. Naoya is just a prick. Most Zenin men are honestly… But he’s especially open about it.” 
With her hand removed you look down at your lap with a pout. “Is that really how people see me?”  
She suddenly squishes your face between her palms and makes you look at her. “You listen to me. The only people who think of you that way are people who don’t matter. I see how you look at those two idiots and I see how they look at you. It would be annoying how much love is there if it wasn’t so sweet. And i’m not the only one, all our friends do too. Nothing Naoya says or what anyone else thinks can change that. It can’t change that you're a good person who’s loved and works hard and cares deeply for those around you. It won’t change how Gojo and Geto feel. I’m sure you’ll hear that from them later.”  She releases your face and leans back against the arm of the couch. 
You’re quiet as you mull over her words. She was right of course. There’s a knock at the door making the both of you jump slightly. The door opens and Haibara sticks his face in. “Sorry if i’m interrupting, Yaga-sensei is back and we’re waiting on the two of you.” He looks between the two of you concern furrowing his brow. You didn’t know it yet but he and Nanami had been only moments from intervening if not for Satoru and Suguru suddenly arriving. 
“Ah, of course, we’ll be right there.” You stand  and so does Shoko. You glance at her. “Could you give us just a minute more?” 
He nods. “I’ll let everyone know the two of you are on your way.” He offers you a smile though it’s not quite as full of his usual cheer.
Once the door closes you turn to Shoko. “Thank you, Shoko-senpai.. I think I needed to hear you say that.” 
She smiles and surprises you by pulling you in for a hug. “Anytime. Like I said before I’m sure Gojo and Geto would have reassured you but I think it’s good you hear it from people on the outside too.” She pulls back and smiles when she sees you looking just a bit bashful at her sudden display of affection. “Now let’s get back, yeah?” 
“Yeah okay.” You give her a shy smile in turn and she links your arm with her’s before leading you from the room and down the hall toward everyone else.

Oh this was great. The only thing that would have been better was if they’d been allowed to kick Naoya’s ass for how he’d spoken to you. It even numbed the sting of not being able to compete in the exchange event themselves. Satoru and Suguru lounged in their seats, watching the competition unfold on the monitors with the teachers. They weren’t the only students here though. Not far off, looking absolutely miserable and pissed was none other than Naoya. Freshly disqualified for his conduct and they got to watch him huff and scoff each time you scored points for Tokyo. He probably at least wanted to see you screw up or get injured but instead you did anything but. Effortlessly slaying the released curses while guarding Shoko. 
Every once in a while Naoya swears and grumbles about his team and why the hell they aren’t targeting the two of you harder. After all, if they made a concerted effort they could overwhelm you and get at your healer, right? More than once she’d kept someone from your side in top shape. Yet his team had only tried one at a time to have a go it seemed and there you were each time, keeping Shoko safe. Pride swelled in Satoru and Suguru’s chests. They’d admittedly been worried that what had happened earlier would throw off your focus but instead you seem to have turned those emotions outward and were using them to fight instead of letting them eat at you. 
They even got a bit of a treat near the end, getting to see how well you and Nanami work together in a fight. Him joining you when you reported that the main curse was near your location. Haibara volunteered to stay with Shoko while the two of you engaged it since he needed an injury healed anyway and you didn’t want to give Kyoto the time to take it out by waiting. 
The duel blackflashes at the end from you and Nanami finishing off the curse and winning tokyo the competition was just the cherry on top. The action elicits high fives between Suguru and  Satoru and even a cheer from Yaga which he coughs to cover up. Naoya meanwhile finally having had enough gets up and storms from the room. Gakuganji is forced to get up and follow him to try and make him return since he was only allowed to stay on campus under the condition he remain supervised. Honestly your boyfriends would be snickering at him if they weren’t so focused on what Nanami and you just pulled off. 
The day ends far better than it began. Yaga taking the Tokyo students out to dinner to celebrate the win. Nanami and you, much to your mortification, get special attention in way of an improvised sing-song cheer by Satoru that Haibara joins in on in the restaurant, causing both of you to try and vanish into your seats. Haibara slings an arm around Nanami’s shoulders and Satoru does the same to you, continuing on with their little routine. Despite how you cover your face with your hands to hide from all the eyes focused on you, you’re smiling.

And that's where this one ends! I hope it wsn't too rough of a read. I'm just bringing together certain threads i've hopefully established before now. I hope the ending makes up for some of it. I know techinically there is a day two to the exchange event but I don't feel like writing it. Before i decided to have Naoya get kicked from the event i was playing with the idea of him and reader being put against eachother in the 1 v 1 match but I got tired of putting him in the same space as reader... He's an emotionally tolling character for me to write.
The next chapter will be snapshots of the rest of second year (including me planning to show Satoru and Suguru's birthdays) christmas, new years, ect. It'll be a bit disjointed. The chapter will probably literally be called snap shots. After it's it written though we enter the stage of stuff i actually wrote ahead of time and just need to tweak to tie it together better to the rest of the story.
Thank you all for being so patient with me while i got this chapter figured out.
Special thanks once again to @strawberrystepmom for beta reading this for me otherwise i may have scrapped the entire idea of including the exchange event because i was having such a time with this chapter.

Mortals
A Warlock’s Sacrifice 
Summary: Raphael seeks the aid of his prized warlock after he finds an intruder has broken into his House of Hope. Raphael confronts Tav in the aftermath of combat.
Notes: Read a Warlock is Born, if you want to know more about Dolofina and why Raphael is so bitter about that bloody painting. ;) 
Warnings: Mild violence, death. Some light angst.
Tumblr media

Raphael’s garments were soggy, weighing like anchors on his limbs as he sloshed his way through the mud. He was somewhere on the Coast Way, in the middle of nowhere; worlds apart from all the juiciest gossip, political rumblings, and mortal misfortunes that satiated his boredom. 
He glowered, grinding his teeth as he approached a body discarded in a ditch. Raindrops sizzled and promptly dissipated upon hitting his forehead. He would have slaughtered any mortal who was unfortunate enough to lay eyes on him in this heinous state. 
Raphael had been forced to leave the dinner party in a rush, barely able to dangle the deals he had worked on for a fortnight in front of his budding clients. He would have to sweeten the proposition tenfold the next time he saw them. Raphael would dishonour himself, his blood, his legacy, if he did not. Devil’s never cancelled plans, let alone rescheduled. That thought nearly made Raphael stop in his tracks, shivering with shame, disgust dripping from his shoulders, but he shook it away. Weak, mortal emotions he had no time for this evening.
As Raphael approached the body he paused, tapping it with his pointed boots. Upon getting no response but the sounds of rain drizzling and wind whistling, he tapped it again before proceeding to viciously kick it. Muffled groans escaped the body. He kicked it harder, again and again until the mortal slowly rolled over on their back, revealing their swollen and discoloured face. Dolofina. His prized warlock, reduced to a drunken stupor, no doubt caught in another rowdy pub brawl. How utterly reprehensible.
With a sinister smile, and naturally, just to humour himself, he kicked the half-elf in the ribs a final time. She cursed at Raphael, spitting blood on his boots. 
“What a sorry sight you are. I was unaware I had made a pact with such a disgraceful debauchee.” 
Dolofina looked up at Raphael, twisting her face in confusion. 
“A… what? Why do you bloody devils always speak like that?”
Raphael’s nostrils flared as he stared at Dolofina. Must she always be so difficult! 
“An inebriate and an ignoramus. What a charming combination.” 
“You’re giving me a headache.” Dolofina hiccuped as she rolled over on her side, gesturing as if to go back to sleep.
“No. We will be having none of that.”
Raphael snapped his fingers and Dolofina appeared on her feet, vigorously swaying, as if stuck on a rocky boat at sea. She desperately grabbed on to Raphael’s arm to keep her balance.
“You’re never any fun. Didn’t Korrilla tell you it’s my night off?” 
Raphael’s lips warped in disfavour. 
“Do you think this is a game? You will never be so lucky as to be rewarded with a night off. Pah! Always such ludicrous terms with you mortals! So quick to jump at any opportunity if it means you can do nothing but laze about and wait for death.”
Raphael’s skin began to steam. A hazy glow enveloped him as the rain ricocheted off his body.
“You continuously resort to these drunken escapades when you have yet to finish the tasks at hand. When you’re frolicking about this rotten plane you represent me, no matter the location. My honour, my future, is at stake.”
Dolofina recoiled, quickly pulling her hand away from Raphael’s arm. She opened her palm to reveal light burns on her skin. 
“Sometimes… I wonder if it was worth making that deal with you.” Dolofina muttered, holding the injured hand to her chest. 
Raphael opened his mouth, as if to criticise Dolofina again, to reduce her even lower, but he stopped short. Instead he observed her, crossing his arms. 
“If you wish to die, just say the magic words.”
“I’m not rolling over that easily. You’ll have to work harder for this soul.” Dolofina perked up, crookedly smiling at Raphael as she swayed.
Raphael’s eyes widened and he howled with laughter, his cackles roaring through the desolate valleys around them. Such a pitious creature, so blissfully unaware of her fate, so quick to jump to conclusions; to have the gall to think she’s got the upper hand on Raphael. A devil. The future Supreme Master of the Nine Hells. 
His laughter trailed off as he applauded Dolofina, clapping vigorously as if he had just finished watching a pantomime.
“Are you done?” Dolofina responded, dryly. 
“Oh… you poor little thing. Did I forget to tell you?”
Dolofina’s face quickly grew dim. She tilted her head, eyebrows knitting, as she waited for Raphael’s response. 
Raphael cleared his throat, returning to his previously stern composition. 
“When you die, your soul is Zariel’s not mine,” Raphael warned, through a sly smirk. “I immediately sold your soul for something far more valuable to my end goals. Profit. Investment. And I’d do it again if I could. Consider it a punishment for my painting.” 
Dolofina scoffed and raised a fist towards Raphael, putting her arm back as if to punch him in the mouth. 
“You’re a real prick. You still care about that bloody thing?”
Raphael’s stare hardened as he thought back to the painting. The perfect sunset. That precious work of art that would’ve been proudly displayed in his House of Hope only remained but a memory, growing more distant with each passing year. His greatest creation had been taken from him, all thanks to Dolofina and her failed attempt at thievery.
Dolofina took a step towards Raphael and hesitated, fist trembling, as she stared at him with hatred.
“Be grateful you were not turned to ash that day. I provided you with the power that courses through your veins and you get to live another day. To serve me. If you do want your soul back, you’ll have to deal with Zariel. Or don’t, instead waste your potential on cheap liquor and whore yourself about the Sword Coast. Resort yourself to ruin for all I care.”
Dolofina lowered her hand and fell to her knees in the mud, deflating. 
Raphael nodded, pleased by this reaction. He relaxed his shoulders, almost relieved he didn’t need to waste the entire evening punishing her. Again. Let her learn the hard way. It was essential to pull the rug from under his pets, tighten their collars, make them panic over whether or not it was truly their last breath. Even his finest creatures needed to be reminded of who was really in charge. 
For now Dolofina belonged to Raphael. His magnificent weapon to utilise and mould as he saw fit. She was still oozing with potential, harbouring raw power that he could squeeze out of her before she expired. Raphael always made the most out of his acquisitions, no matter the expiration date. By the time Zariel got Dolofina’s soul, it would be worthless to her. 
“The evening is young, and there is work yet to be done. Now, if you will–”
Abruptly the world around Raphael froze, high pitched ringing emerged from the darkness, piercing his ears. His body tensed, flickering between his mortal and cambion forms. Raphael’s heartbeat intensified, his body temperature rising, as he let the warning cries pump through his body. Each wail came with a message, confirming a growing urgency. A warning, a threat. Those alarms hadn’t been triggered in decades. Who or what was foolish enough to trespass into his house? Enter his archives? Raphael’s jaw tightened and his body burst into flames, he screamed into the darkness, knowing that he could release these vexations in privacy. 
He snapped his fingers, the cries ceased, and the flames died. Dolofina continued to kneel in the mud, staring down like an obedient servant, blissfully unaware of Raphael’s discovery.
“Alert Korrilla. Tell her to meet me at the House of Hope. You may join us only after you regain your composure. There are thieves creeping through my halls and the Master of the House will be there to show them a generous reception.”
Dolofina looked up at Raphael, eyebrows raised, lips moving as if to reply to his demand with a question. There was no time for explanations. He vehemently snapped his fingers and vanished. 
____
Dolofina rested her head on top of the bar, eyeing the cask of ale behind Hoots Hooligan with jealousy. It was whispering her name, taunting her. Dolofina’s eyes shifted to the other patrons in Sharess’ Caress chugging their mugs of ale without a care in the world. She wanted nothing more than to have another drink, to consume everything until she couldn’t remember a damned thing, but Raphael’s words lingered; clattering around her head like a loose screw. Her soul belonged to Zariel now. That prick. 
Dolofina let out an exasperated sigh, catching the attention of Hoots.
“Having fun?” Hoots asked, stacking up bottles behind the counter. 
“You could say that…” 
Hoots took a glass and filled it up with water, placing it in front of Dolofina with a wink. 
Dolofina’s stomach curled as she looked at the beverage. She had spent the past hour huddled in the privy, chucking up her mistakes from earlier. There was nothing left in Dolofina’s stomach, but the thought of Raphael’s threats and his mocking jabs made her want to run back to the outhouse. 
“We don’t want your boss angry now, do we? Hells, I wouldn’t want him breathing down my neck...” 
“You’re right.”
Dolofina groaned as she took a tiny sip of water, cringing as it touched her lips. 
“Have I mentioned I fucking hate you?” Dolofina said, chugging the rest of the water and slamming the empty glass on the counter. Hoots snickered as they continued with their work.
Dolofina had rolled the dice and failed spectacularly, her quick attempt at fixing one problem spawned into a million more. It was worse enough signing a contract with Raphael but now losing her soul to Zariel? Gods, that was something else entirely. She was truly, utterly fucked. 
Since Raphael had become Dolofina’s patron, he had shown her nothing but cruelty; never letting her forget her mishaps and often going out of his way to crush whatever spirit she had left. 
He had even forced Dolofina to train with Korrilla, her nemesis, knowing damn well that Korrilla wanted her dead. Dolofina had been stabbed repeatedly, set on fire, and nearly blown to smithereens during those training sessions and Raphael made sure he never missed a moment; laughing hysterically from the sidelines as Dolofina fought for her life. Day in and day out. 
It didn’t matter how many souls she brought Raphael, or how many of his assignments she completed on time, he’d never be satisfied. She would always be subpar, not even worth the dirt under his bloody feet. 
And yet... despite daydreaming about punching him in that big stupid face or trying as hard as she could to hate him, there was a part of her that just couldn’t. Somehow she respected him; he was her mentor, in a fucked up way. And she was thankful for her time in Avernus, even if she still wasn’t used to the sweltering heat. Life could’ve been worse. If she had succeeded in stealing that diamond from the Devil’s Fee, where would she be now? Probably living in squalor, maybe in jail, but still under contract with Nine-Fingers. No doubt about it. 
Dolofina tapped her fingers nervously on the bar, drumming repeatedly to an unknown, erratic beat. She looked over her shoulder, waiting for Raphael to appear in flames and pull her through a portal, but he never showed. Something was off. 
“Where the hell are they?” Dolofina whispered.
She stood up, the room spinning. Dolofina placed a hand on the bar stool and took a deep breath. In and out. Gods. Why did she choose tonight, of all fucking nights, to get smashed and disobey? It would take at least another hour until Dolofina was ready, capable of fighting, if she needed to. She couldn’t just sit there anymore and wait, she was composed enough. 
Dolofina closed her eyes, trying to sense if Raphael was still in the House of Hope. Feelings of anger and torment immediately attacked her senses; muddled visions of fighting and bloodshed, Raphael on his knees and the House of Hope in ruin flooded through her mind. It overwhelmed her, the images trying to claw their way out of her skull. 
She gasped, nearly falling over backwards. The room spun faster, the weight on her chest growing heavier. Raphael… in trouble? No. That couldn’t be, but those visions… 
“I’ll be right back,” Dolofina muttered, dropping some coins on the countertop. 
She ran up the stairs before Hoots could even turn around to acknowledge her. In a heartbeat she reached the Devil’s Den, kicking the doors open and charging inside. She threw every drawer open in Raphael’s desk until she found it. The scroll of plane shift. She couldn’t give less of a shit if his room was left in a mess or if she used his precious rare scroll. She’d deal with Raphael’s anger after she saved his sorry ass. Maybe that would make him stop tormenting her.
Dolofina grinned, imagining the look on Raphael’s face when he realised she had come to his rescue, that she was more than capable of doing something with her life. 
She was fucked either way, but she might as well go out on her own terms.
____
Dolofina transported herself into the foyer of the House of Hope, clumsily landing on her hands and knees. 
The smell of burnt flesh stung Dolofina’s nostrils, her eyes watering. There was carnage all around her, mortal bodies mixed with fallen cambions and comrades. Souls leaked through the shattered soul pillars, buzzing around the ceiling like trapped flies. Korrilla and Yurgir’s bodies lay twisted, shoved up against the foyer’s massive doors.
Dolofina recognised some of the human remains; a vampire, a tiefling, and a cleric… those bloody adventurers Raphael obsessed over, the very ones he forced Korrilla and Dolofina to spy on, study like creatures in an exhibit. Dolofina warned Raphael they’d be his downfall, his infatuation knowing no bounds, and for once she was right.
A tall woman, their leader, stood above Raphael, holding a sword in her hands. Half of her body was burned, her melting skin glowing red. The woman grimaced as she held the weapon, struggling to keep it lifted. Raphael was on his knees, looking up at the woman with contempt. His cambion form was in bad shape, his wings torn to pieces and face slashed open. They were both at their last end.
Dolofina gasped, catching Raphael’s attention. His eyes narrowed. 
“Stay. Back.” Raphael’s voice boomed through Dolofina’s mind, rattling her teeth.
“Get. Up!” She mouthed in response, but Raphael ignored her, directing his attention back to the woman. 
The woman’s body pulsed as she lifted the sword back, energy humming through the foyer as she charged her final attack. Raphael sluggishly moved a hand, his fist filling with fire in an attempt to counter it. 
Dolofina jumped to her feet, dashing towards them. Raphael watched her movements with wide eyes. He attempted to stand, shifting his body towards Dolofina but he stumbled, the fire in his hands extinguishing. 
“NO!” Dolofina shrieked, jumping in between Raphael and the incoming sword. 
Pain erupted through her chest, a thunderous explosion shattering the air. The force of the blow threw her down on Raphael and they both slid across the floor. 
When she opened her eyes, Raphael was glaring down at her. His features contorted with fury. Yet there was something different to the anger she expected from him, the flames in his eyes were smaller, lighter. 
Dolofina screamed in discomfort, her insides burned, as if a million tiny flaming daggers were trying to force their way through her torso. Raphael’s body tensed under Dolofina with each spasm; she felt his arms around her as she convulsed, trying to hold her in place.
“You fool! Do you understand what you’ve done?” Raphael said, his voice rough and creaky. 
All she could do was smile at Raphael. The flames were gone in his eyes but the frown remained, his face sombre. 
“You’re welcome. Asshole.” 
Each breath grew heavier, more painful. Her ears buzzed, darkness encircling her. She fought to keep it away, to stay in Raphael’s arms just a little longer, but her vision slowly faded. Her body felt so… numb. So cold.
The last thing Dolofina saw was Raphael’s face, fixating on his disappointment.
____
Raphael watched as Dolofina’s soul left her body, a green orb floating out of her mouth. It stopped above her chest, floating, waiting. Raphael extended his hand, holding the soul in his palm before it faded through his fingers. Irreclaimable. There was a dullness in his chest, a feeling of heaviness that only seemed to grow worse.
Raphael stared at his dead warlock, unable to look away from the corpse. Tav’s greatsword was still stuck in Dolofina’s chest, the smite had nearly ripped her in two. He could’ve handled another attack, maybe two. Dolofina’s interference was unnecessary. He still had another attack up his sleeve, his grand finale. If only she had listened, heeded his warnings… but she disobeyed him until the bitter end. All that potential, all his hard work and training was destroyed in an instant due to that creature’s ignorance. Courage and stupidity, often two sides of the same coin. 
He pulled the sword from Dolofina’s body, using it to help him rise to his feet. His legs shook vigorously as he took a step towards Tav. Raphael’s wings dragged against the floor, they were dead weight now. He sighed wearily, using what strength he had left to snap his fingers, returning to his human form. His clothes were still in tatters, revealing his bare chest riddled with gashes and bruises. 
The silence in the foyer was deafening as Raphael continued towards Tav, taking care to purposely step on the bodies of her fallen companions. 
The creature, his little mouse, was still on her feet. She backed away as he continued, tripping over some rubble. 
Raphael had once looked upon that creature with fondness, her visage bringing comfort to him as he watched her exploits through Faerûn, but now she was as hideous as those burns on her skin. He should finish the job, incinerate that creature’s body and soul. He didn’t need those tadpoled to get the Crown. He would do it himself. 
“Give me the contract.” Raphael whispered, his skin hissing.
Tav shuddered at his words, pulling the document from her sack and handing it to Raphael. He snatched it back, sneering at her. He weakly snapped his fingers, unravelling the contract. It sizzled beside him, the text morphing as Raphael spoke. 
“You lost today, little mouse.” Raphael said, bitterly, “Let this be a reminder, you are bound to me. Whether you deliver the Crown or not, your soul is now mine, as you can see here.” 
Raphael flicked a finger and the contract flew at Tav, she fell on her back to avoid it whipping her face. 
“Your soul is nothing to me, a petty trinket that I look forward to whittling down in my spare time. Succeed or fail, it is no bother. You will soon be praying to your Gods to turn you into a Mind Flayer. And do not think you have escaped your punishment for today’s offences. Your judgement awaits at a later date.”
“R-Raphael. I am sorry. Truly, please forg–”
“Do you understand me?”
Tav nodded, tears streaming down her cheeks. 
“I cannot hear you, little mouse.”
“Y-Yes. I understand.” 
“Good. Now leave, and take that filth with you, unless you wish to never see them again.”
Raphael gestured impassively towards her companion's corpses. Tav stared at him a final time, a last attempt to plead her forgiveness, but Raphael stared back at her, coldly. She was just another mortal to him now. 
He stood next to Dolofina’s body and watched Tav drag each of her companions into the summoning circle. It took her ages, but he did not offer a helping hand, no matter how hard she struggled, or how loud she sobbed. 
When Tav finally left Avernus, Raphael snapped his fingers and the circle disappeared. He was alone, the quiet hitting him harder than any blow he encountered during combat. He looked down at Dolofina’s body, his chest stinging from the open wounds and regret. 
Raphael could still hear Dolofina’s words echoing, “Asshole.” He couldn’t help but smile, a lump forming in his throat.
Indeed, the halls would be emptier without her...

♡˚✎ˊˎ- Pining Disasters with Il Dottore

Prompt – #15 - “Why are you doing this for me?” “You know why.” ‘Yeah, but I’d like to hear you say it”
Synopsis: Mutual pining with Il Dottore. Tags: Fluff, slightly domestic, possibly ooc, soft headcanons Notes: us 🤝loving dottore. not proofread. writing this i got an ad from redecor (?) saying "oh no can you do better" :SOBBING:,,, SORRY, THIS IS KINDA SHORT #WRITERS BLOCK. THANK YOU FOR BEING A REQUESTER IN THE EVENT &lt;33.
Thanks for participating in the event!
(Reader is always gn unless specified otherwise.)
Tumblr media
What a lovely combination of two frustrating things; pining and Dottore. 
Flirting with Dottore is such a massive headache. He either doesn’t understand the comment you made (primarily due to the severe social rejection he has faced from most people) or he will analyze it too deeply. 
“The Cicin Mage back there called you a snack — but if anything you’re a full course meal haha.”
“[Name] are you a cannibal?”
He’d understand your attempts to ‘woo’ him, and he’ll be super smug about it. It gives him such a massive ego boost to the point you can see him radiating with confidence. 
He believes that there's an odd charm to you. After all, to attract attention from someone like him you have to have something special about you. 
He’s needy — whiny too. He isn’t afraid to voice his opinions if he’s aware of the feelings you both share mutually. 
He gets jealous quite easily. You are the only person who hasn’t treated him like a complete asshole so he’s a bit possessive and protective over you. 
He isn’t the aggressive possessive type though, he's the sad overthinking type. Unless his jealousy sparks from someone he doesn’t like, then he becomes the whiny, clingy, and evasive type. All he really wants to do is be around you and protect you even if you can protect yourself. 
He likes it when you sit in his lab and help him with his experiments, but if you choose not to help him with his experiments he can settle for you just being around him. 
He’s a bit dense when it comes to you flirting with him, but he is absolute shit at flirting. He’d either forget what he was going to say, say it wrong, or end up directing an insult at you. 
“Ah [Name], I like your shirt — it almost fits you.”
“Dottore what the fuck is that supposed to mean?”
He’d be so confused after that. He might even suck up his pride and ask Pantalone what he did wrong. 
Dottore also thinks he’s super slick about his feelings for you. He thinks he’s subtle when he dotes on you, giving you almost anything you want or need. He also stares at you a lot when you aren’t facing him; he genuinely thinks you don’t notice when he is staring at you. 
Any observer would question your safety though. They would be extremely confused by his change in demeanor but mortified by the way his eyes follow your figure. They would probably say a prayer for your safety and avoid you at all costs. 
He’d pick up more domestic roles for you. Shopping, cooking, basic date night stuff — if you really want it, he’ll do it…That doesn’t mean he’s good at it though. He’s a sweetheart with psychopathic tendencies and an inability to cook anything that needs to be heated.
“Dottore please stop cooking for me, I appreciate the effort but I don’t like coming to your house to help put out a fire — Why are you doing this for me anyways?”
“You know why [Name].”
“Yeah, but I’d like to hear you say it”
He kicked you out of his home after that; but don’t worry, he decided that he will just goes to yours instead.

Club Lights And Sex On The Beach (PARTS 2 & 3)
Tumblr media
Pairings: Josh Kiszka x Reader
Warnings: none pretty much! just fluffy post-hookup stuff, and plot-building stuff too.
Summary: You wake up in Josh's apartment, who could interrupt? And who even is the man you just hooked up with?
Authors Note: Please read part 1 if you haven't! this is also part 2 and 3 because they are so short. enjoy!
and again you may read on AO3 here.
Tumblr media
Part 2
You wake up in his bed, a piercing headache from the night before rocking in your skull. You turn over to see his back facing you, graced by the gentle morning sun. You stretch as you sit up in bed, quickly realizing that you’re still very much naked. Memories of the previous night swirl in your head a bit more vividly now, realization setting in as you look around the room. Who did you sleep with? After all, you did go back to his fancy-ass apartment building. The art on his walls looks expensive, and assuming by the architecture of his room, it looks to have a rent upwards of a couple thousand a month. You hear him stirring in bed, looking back over at him you see him turn towards you, eyes still closed. You gently lay back down, turning your body to face his, a bit of self-indulgence never hurt anybody, right? The morning sleepiness still clinging to you helps put an end to your staring. You gently close your eyes briefly as you enjoy the comfort of what’s frankly the best one-night stand you’ve ever had. With all the bands you’ve gotten drunk with over the years from your brief time as an assistant, this had got to be the most fulfilling. Josh is a gorgeous man, probably the most handsome man you have ever seen. His beauty could kill anyone he wished, yet his kindness would prevent him from doing so, you barely know this man, by my god, did you already feel yourself falling. It’s slight, but it’s present. 
You open your eyes again to the sound of Josh’s tired yawn penetrating the room. “Good morning, mama,” he says with a stretch, the nickname makes your fear of falling worsen. “Good morning,” you say, taking the opportunity to stretch yourself out and sit up in bed. “Do you care for breakfast?” he asks, snaking a hand around your waist in bed, giving you a chaste kiss. You look back at him, giving a sweet but simple reply of “I’d love that.” as you thank him with a kiss. You smile as he gets out of bed, going to his dresser and pulling out a pair of boxers and a t-shirt with the words “saint vocal” followed by some random text you didn’t bother to read. What if he’s a singer? you think briefly. No, he couldn’t be what are the chances? You put on his kind offerings as you watch him get dressed alongside you, only in boxers and grey sweatpants. My god, he isn’t helping with this “casual hookup” ordeal, isn't he? 
You stand in front of him, walking up to him and hugging him. He grasps your waist, kissing you once more with a smile you can feel. You hear a door slam, breaking you from your enjoyable kiss. You look back at Josh to see the panic in his eyes. “Josh! Where are you dude you should be up by now!” 
“Shit,” he whispers to you, quickly ushering you to the closet. “I’m so sorry, it’s my brother just hide here for a second ok?” He pushes you back into the closet profusely apologizing with only his eyes alone. You look around the walk-in closet around you now. Damn, he is rich, isn’t he? You sit down on the small ottoman next to you, waiting out whatever is going on. You can’t help but overhear their conversation as Josh and one of his brothers enter his bedroom. 
“Josh, my brother, I swear to god you went home with a girl last night.” 
“Jake, I swear to god I didn’t. And if I did I would tell you.” 
“No, you wouldn’t.” 
“Yes, I would.” 
“Bullshit.” 
You hear footsteps walk towards the closet door. Fuck. You quickly make an attempt at hiding throwing yourself among the shirts and suits hung up. Praying that Jake doesn’t open the door, you wait. 
“Huh, ya know if there’s a girl in here I thought you’d try stopping from opening the closet.”
“I would because there isn’t a girl in there.”
“Yeah right, you’re such a horrible liar.”
The closet door opens. You hold your breath as you pray he doesn’t notice your feet sticking out among the carpet. You listen intently as a couple of moments pass. 
“Fine, I was wrong. I guess you weren’t whoring yourself out last night.”
“Thank you.” 
You feel a wave of relief wash over you, now just waiting for Jake to leave the closet. You hear footsteps walk around, to what you assume is towards Josh’s bedroom. 
And then the clothes are pulled apart and you’re face to face with him. 
“Good morning, darling.”
Shit.
Part 3
You look over to Josh who has his head in his hands, embarrassed beyond belief. “I’m so sorry,” he says with some sort of apologetic life. Jake turns to his brother and then back to you, holding out a hand. “Nice to see you again.” you sigh and take his hand in yours, “Nice to see you too Jake.” He laughs as he lets go, waltzing his way over to Josh, and giving him a pat on the shoulder. “You can never lie to me I hope you know that.” Josh looks up at him with animosity “Fuck off.”
You walk over to Josh as Jake decides to make himself at home and leaves the room. You take his head in your hands, locking eyes with his. “Hi.” he laughs and takes your hands in his. “I’m sorry about that, I don’t even know why he’s here.” you watch his eyes closely, pupils blown wide. “It’s perfectly ok, don’t stress it.” you slide your hands from his cheeks down to his collarbone. You watch his face relax as he grabs your hands and holds them in his. “Thank you-” “Josh, where the fuck our your eggs! I’m making your new fuck-buddy breakfast since you don’t want to.” You watch his face morph into irritation again, taking your hand in his and leading you to his kitchen. “One, they’re on the top shelf very right. Two, she is a guest and we will treat her with respect. And three, I was already making going to do that before you barged in asshat.” You laugh at their never-ending fighting, prime entertainment at its finest. Josh pulls out a seat for you at the island, motioning for you to sit. Taking a seat on the stool, you watch as the twins make you breakfast. Not exactly what you thought would be happening after a one-night stand but it's still a good outcome nonetheless.
You watch in love and lust-struck awe as you watch the twins not only manage to make you scrambled eggs with toast while also making up for their argument and becoming best friends before your eyes. Jake and Josh place the plate before you, both of them side by side giving you a warm smile. “Thank you very much,” you say. “Of course, who would we be if not the best post-hookup hosts?” you laugh at them while eating your eggs, nicely made, dare you say some of the best you’ve had in a while. Josh sits down next to you with his plate eating beside you in peaceful silence as Jake uses the bathroom. Josh turns to you, waiting for your attention. You turn back to him beckoning his response. “Ya know, I liked last night, like a lot.” you feel your cheeks warm. “I did too, like a lot.” you both let out small awkward laughs filling the silence. “I was wondering if maybe you would like to go on a date sometime, maybe next week?” Oh god, did this turn out in your favor? It sure as hell seems like it. “I would love to, Josh.”  you watch as his slight smile turns wide and bright, reminding you of the sun. You both manage to exchange numbers and set a date before Jake comes back. 
“Well, well, well, how’s your breakfast?” Jake asks as he walks back into the room, resting on his forearms on the island across from the two of you. “Great actually, thank you so much,” you respond. “My pleasure. Now, I think I might as well break the bad news to you, Josh.” you feel your heartbeat quicken just a bit, looking over to Josh to see him pause his chewing, looking back at his brother. 
“Oh god, what?”
“Our assistant quit.”
Oh shit. 
“What! Why? What the fuck?” Josh exclaims. “I mean right before the tour?”
Tour? Oh god, maybe he is a singer…
“I know! I mean like seriously we needed her, now we gotta find someone else.”
Would now be the time to mention that you’re in between jobs as an assistant now? No, you don’t want to make it awkward…
“I work as an assistant,” you say. Not meaning to say that out loud, your eyes go wide, panic filling your mind space slightly. “Wait actually?” Josh says, almost jumping out of his seat. “Yeah, I’m kinda looking for another job as an assistant right now…” you trail off awkwardly. You look back to both the twins, “But one question…” you state. “Yes?” Jake asks.
“Who even are you guys?”

Meeting kraeplin.
You’ve met some interesting individuals ever since falling down here, Toriel has let you stay with her since the rest of the underground is in too much disarray to help anyone out currently. The lack of leadership, stability and the hatred the people hold for each other is strong. They’re so busy infighting that escaping the underground and gaining revenge on humans had become an under thought. You’ve been exploring the ruins and the forests leading outside for a couple weeks now. Every time you find something new. Last week you’ve found something most particular however. It was a skeleton, short in stature; couldn’t be taller than 5’0 that was consuming…? The soul of a veggie monster. The skeleton ran away right after noticing you, however they must’ve forgotten their handkerchief. It was a worn handkerchief with googly eyes glued on to it. You’ve kept hold of it. You decided on going exploring once more in the areas leading to Snowdin. The snow crunching and the sounds of the tree leaves swaying was all you could hear. The forests here were always so quiet, it’s almost as if nobody comes here at all. You stop as you see a note on the floor, it reads “follow the sound of birds”. You were confused till you heard the sudden and distinct sound of birds chirping. Having nothing to do you followed it till you reached a clearing between the trees. The sounds were coming from a broken recorder on top of a tree stump. Getting closer confused you suddenly get a sharp pain in the head. You fall down and pass out…
“There’s my handkerchief!” Sans beamed finally glad to have his handkerchief back. It looked different though, the handkerchief had been cleaned and fixed and also got installed with new googly eyes. Now sans felt bad, this human had taken care of his beloved emotional support buddy and all he’d done is gave them a concussion… He dragged the unconscious human towards his hut. He worked on something special to thank this kind human with.
Waking up with a sharp throbbing headache was not fun, all you can remember is that stupid note… You sit upright noticing you’re on a dirty bug covered mattress. You quickly jump off despite the throbbing pain and disorientation you’re in.
Stumbling out of the room you’re in, you see the same skeleton from last week cooking something up on the stove. “H-hello?” You call out, better be polite. If they’re dangerous you’d probably be able to outrun them. Sans jumped, “o-o-Oh! Hello, you’re awake! You woke up quicker then expected” the skeleton’s grip tightened, sweat was now going down their forehead. “Who are you? Where am I? Why does my head hurt?” You stood next to the skeleton, seeing the floating hot dogs in the boiling water. The skeleton shuffled with the hems of his green jacket. “My name is Sans, this is my house and uh… I kinda hit you in the back of the head with a pipe…” Sans gave you a nervous look… . . . “WHY?” Sans flinched. “Sorry…” Sans shuffled around now extremely nervous… “here…” he grabbed a hot dog bun and placed a hot dog in between… “Have a hotbat” Sans then placed the hotbat on your head…
You stood there staring at him incredulously. Sans looked absolutely embarrassed now. This was going to be a long day…

Fictober '19 Prompts No. 17 & 18 — "There is just something about [him]." / "Secrets? I love secrets."
Category: Original WIP: WASTE Rating: T Timeline: sometime during the book I guess CW: mature language Word Count: 952 Additional Notes: this was the first time I featured Mercury in my writing!!
***
"Oh…shit."
The bad thing about using weapons that rely pretty solely on electric currents is that when you're fixing or performing general maintenance on them, one wrong move and your entire day is ruined. For me, however, that is true times, like, two, I think.
So why did I choose to use weapons that rely so heavily on electricity when I know damn well I have a computer wired throughout my brain? I'll wait for someone else to answer, ‘cause I'm dense as a black hole and I don't fucking know.
Three things happened when I jammed that precision screwdriver into the power supply of my whip—it was an accident but I don't think that makes me look any less like a dumbass here—I blacked out. Immediately. I was told later that I also spiked the screwdriver so hard across the room that if Adam had been standing two feet to the left it would've gone through his skull. Also, Adam had come to visit at that exact moment.
I don't know how long I was out but I woke up already fighting to stand up.
"Whoa, hold on a sec, Guetry," Adam was saying, I think. "You're smokin'."
"Nah, I'm quitting," I said, and my voice both sounded buzzy and did not come out of my mouth but rather a hole in my face I had no control over.
"Sit down." Adam took my arm and everything hurt so much. My fingers, my toes, my back, my front, my sides, my upside-down, between, under, and over. "Sit here. I'll be damned, how're you not dead? I'm gonna call emergency services—"
"No, no," I choked out, feeling myself dropping onto a chair and that was about it. "Scotty…Scotty, you there?"
He was not there, and I couldn't get a hold of him even after I managed to stop short-circuiting. Adam took care of me, made sure I didn't need emergency services after all, but it only occurred to me much too late that I no longer had an AI keeping my body functioning, and I further blacked out four more times before I finally woke up in a hospital bed with a headache that could've woken the dead.
Adam watched me from a chair in the corner of the room, arms folded. He lifted an eyebrow. "So. Got somethin' to tell me?"
My face was half-buried in a pillow and I was on my side, which meant that I had fluid somewhere that needed draining or whatever; I don't pretend to understand half the things that are wrong with me at any point and I definitely don't understand them in relation to Scotty and why I need him.
Speaking of which…half-consciously I reached up and used the pad of my middle finger to suss out the triangle etched into my temple. "S-Scotty..."
"That's kinda what I wanted to know about," Adam said. "You got an AI in your head?"
"Mm," I groaned, running a tired hand over my arm tattoo and taking care to avoid the burn scars. "He's…a secret."
Adam cocked his head, a strand of silky gray hair falling into his amber eyes.
Yeah, I swooned a bit. So what? I was hard-up. Leave me alone.
"Secret? I love secrets." His dimpled smile sucker punched me in the gut despite feeling like someone had already done that.
"Sorry," I breathed, grasping the rail of the bed and shutting my eyes before my other brain decided to push my limits. "He's the product of a bad time for me…I don't really…talk about him much to people I don't know on a deeply intimate basis." I paused for effect. "…Or aren't part of my team."
Adam laughed—a hearty, throaty laugh that squeezed my chest as if it came from me. "That it, huh? You tryin' that hard to get me on this quest with you? You won't even tell me 'bout it, Guetry."
"Can't. Not without your agreement to the contract. 'Sort policy."
When I opened my eyes again, Adam had leaned toward me, granting me a thoughtful stare. I stared right back, aware that all that stood between my nakedness and him was a blanket and a flimsy hospital gown. The way he smiled at me, though, could've leveled buildings. He exuded charisma and fortitude the likes of which I've only seen in one other person, but Adam's was…good. He felt…good.
"I get the feelin' it ain't in your nature to follow Consortium policy," he murmured.
I closed my eyes again and sighed. "Great, now I'm gonna have to explain my semi to the nurses. It's gonna be a whole ordeal..."
"I'll join you on one condition," Adam said, skyrocketing my hopes for the most frustrating millisecond of my life. "We gotta make a pit stop on Logoryt. I got…a loose end to tie up. It won't be too outta the way."
"We can work with that, I think." I tapped the nurses' call button with my knuckle.
…I think about Adam a lot. There is something about him. He's funny as hell and gorgeous and…he had a surprise or two on him I found out once we got closer that I cherished and lavished with affection. Made him even better in my eyes, even more beautiful.
I hope I get a chance to see him again. I really do, because the more that time goes on and our paths don't cross, I can't help but feel like I'm missing out on something amazing and real, and something I fucking deserve. The short time we had together, our summer fling I guess you could say, he made me happy.
And I know he'd never let me live any of this down.

✉ [메일이 있어요!!] 4 u!
'♡' Every life, I run to you. (1/2) non-idol!Jay x gn!reader m-list! profile! ( fluff, spaced out life style Summary ⎯ Even during the olden days he had this familiar aura that always made you feel comfortable around. Even in Medieval times, you would call him your knight in shining armor. Even though you don’t remember those memories, now your contented in seeing his face in every life you go through. Part 2! Music to listen to while reading! A/N : had so much ideas in mind.. quick promo for a sunghoon fic im writing soon hehe,, #X-CITED 😜💪
You wake up with a headache, plus your alarm ringing in your head. You get up, get ready, get a banana, get your bag, and your off to the coffee shop you work at. The day felt like a blur for some reason.. is it because you started off at a lazy note? is it because you barely got sleep? or a short breakfast? your trail of thought was cut off by a voice saying "Y/n? your zoning out again.. break is over you need to head back out there, long line.." your best friend Lee Heeseung. "Yeah got it.. sorry.." You said apologizing, Heeseung rubs your back in reassurance heading out of those "staff only" rooms going to one of the cash register areas. You picked yourself up and started taking orders. It was starting to get late as you started cleaning up as you saw someone pass by the glass window wall. He looks familiar.. then you felt a weird sensation at the back of your head. You then come back out of your senses and look back at the windows, looks like he just passed by. After finishing cleaning the tables and the trash left by some guests and locking up. You then go flop on your bed after putting on your most comfy clothes opening your laptop to go talk with some friends. "Heyy" Sunoo said as you chuckle at his enthusiasm "Hi sun sun.." you say waiting for the others in your friendgroup to join. "HIIIII" a voice out of nowhere, then already knowing its Heeseung. The sudden topic of crushes comes around, "Have anyone special in mind Y/n-ah? hmmm??" Sunoo said wiggling his eyebrows in his face cam. "Love life is complicated okay, out with the #lonley right now guys.." You replied as Heeseung said "someday you'll be in a relationship and looking back on your words BUH-LEEV-MEE!" The next day is another repeat of the other, then you suddenly get a daydream of this guy holding your hand. He was wearing traditional clothes like clothes you would see at a museum or learn in history class. His eyes looked dreamy, with love filled with it, then a tap on your shoulder as you look up to see Heeseung "Zoning out again? come on let's go" he said pulling you up from your 'sitting down on the floor state' It was almost closing time as you see the same guy you saw yesterday walking by and have the same feeling at the back of your head, we was heading inside the cafe. Once he looked up from his phone, he looked familiar you couldn't know from where but he kind of looks like the guy you have from that weird dream you had earlier. "Uhm.. Hello? may I place an order-" He said as you say going back to the real world again "Oh sorry.. take in or take out? sorry I meant dine in or take out-" you said as he chuckles at your cuteness and places his order having his food inside the resturant. "Name for the order?" You ask, he says "Jay park" He said smiling as you put the name on the cup having another weird flashback to a boy saying "My name's Jay park.. yours?" you then say aloud "Y/n!" as the man stares at you confused. "Ahh sorry.. nice name by the way." You said as you write down the name and a smile matching the one he gave you. "Hope I don't sound like a creep but could I have your number by chance?" he said as you agreed. Renaming the contact to "dream boy?? ♥

Sleepovers At The Baji Household feat. A Fed-Up Chifuyu
Summary: Chifuyu just wants to sleep, man, but Baji wants to be a jealous crackhead at 2 AM.
Pairing: Sano Manjiro | Mikey x Male Reader
Note(s): I had a little free time and wrote this. So, please enjoy! ALSO, to the anon that sent me a request a few days ago, I saw it and have it filed on my to-do list!!! I will definitely get to it as soon as I get a break in my schedule :)
"Chifuyu, ya wanna see some real discrimination?"
No. No, Chifuyu does not want to see what Baji means by 'real discrimination.'
Does he tell him that, though?
Yes, actually, because it's 2 in the fucking morning and, as much as he respects the other boy, he wouldn't put it past himself to smother him with a pillow after having his dream of cuddling with a sea of puppies suddenly destroyed.
Unfortunately for his sanity, Baji either doesn't hear him or, more likely than not, doesn't give a fuck, because he's already flopping onto his belly and whipping out his phone to do God knows what.
The dial tone that sounds from the speaker a few seconds later makes Chifuyu cringe, especially since it's only ever been a calm silence fit for a good night's sleep prior to Baji bulldozing through it with his absurd question. (At the very least, he's thankful that the latter has half a mind to keep the brightness on the lowest setting, otherwise, Chifuyu would have had to fight.)
On the far end of the row of carefully-laid futons, you shift in your sleep, eyebrows furrowing together at the noise. Rotating onto your side, you unconsciously reach for Baji, and just when he thinks you're being cute and trying to cuddle him, you smack him in the head.
Baji doesn't flinch, instead, takes his pillow and shoves it in your grasp to keep your unconscious self occupied, so that he can focus on getting through to the person who reuses to pick up (understandably so).
Releasing a frustrated groan after being redirected to voice mail for the fifth time, he dials the number again, muttering an impatient, "Pick up already."
Chifuyu feels sorry for the poor soul on the other end. He would've blocked someone following the first call, because again, it's-
The blond has to squint his eyes up at the digital clock on Baji's nightstand, which confirms that it's already 2:22 A.M, further solidifying the fact that he shouldn't be awake right now. And this also applies to the ever persistent first division captain, who insists on bothering who Chifuyu soon discovers is Mikey from the contact ID that flashes across the screen.
Why Baji is so keen on bothering him is a question he doesn't have the mental capacity to ponder over. The most energy he'll expend is to listen in when the call miraculously connects.
"What...?" comes a muffled voice from the receiver, tone laced in an irked grogginess birthed from a slumber rudely interrupted.
There's an absurdly loud, almost angry, roar of Mikey's name, one that has Chifuyu curling in on himself in a futile attempt to escape a sound that should be illegal at this hour.
But you know what else should be illegal?
The fucking whiplash Chifuyu gets when Baji's deep voice takes an abrupt 180°, switching from its normal gruffness to a squeaky, ear-piercing shrill as he screams, "I love you, love you, love you! Do you love me, too, Mikey-kyun~♡?!"
The room is dead silent.
Not a word. Not a murmur. Not a breath.
Just pure, unadulterated silence as both Chifuyu and Mikey process the words that hang in the air, permeating it with a goosebumps-inducing eeriness from having heard such a...a girly, overtly cutesy screech from Baji.
Then-
"What the fuck? He hung on me!"
Chifuyu opens his mouth, thinks better of reacting to the cursed scene he had the misfortune of bearing witness to, and promptly closes it.
Other people may have sleep paralysis demons.
But Chifuyu?
Chifuyu has Baji.
With both hands partially raised in prayer, he begs for the shenanigans to be over and done with.
They are not.
While his eyes remain closed in a last ditch effort to convince himself that it's all a bad dream, he hears a lot of grumbling happening on your side of the room, courtesy of Baji, who's scrambling around in search of...something. One quick peek reveals him fiddling with a phone - yours, to be exact, as evidenced by the distinctive phone charm of your favorite anime character hanging from it.
"(Y/n), wake up for a second," he hears him whisper. It takes a bit of prompting, until he's able to successfully rouse you enough from sleep to elicit any kind of response, which is, essentially, nothing short of an incoherent, slurred mess. Although, Chifuyu is pretty damn certain he heard you call Baji a 'dickhead' for the trouble.
Unperturbed, he continues shaking your limp form, coaxing you into wakefulness with, "Repeat what I tell you, and I'll let you go back to asleep. Deal?"
You squint your eyes at him, only able to make out a vague outline of his visage in the lightless room. "Promise?"
"Cross my heart, hope to die," he automatically responds with the same phrase he's become accustomed to saying whenever you two made a promise, something done purely out of habit, formed when the two of you were just kids and he wanted to get you to do something absolutely ridiculous either for him or with him. And just 'cause he knows you're more susceptible to complying if he does it, he also interlocks his pinky with yours.
"...Fine."
The approval is his cue to proceed, and it's as he's putting the phone on speaker that he turns back to a regretfully wide awake Chifuyu, mouthing a wordless, 'Watch.'
The phone rings, loud and clear, precisely once and only once.
"(Y/n), what's wrong?" It's important to note that even though Mikey still sounds tired as hell, his tone is much lighter, much happier really, than when it was Baji, which is an offense in itself to the said teen that's off to the side, attentively listening to the conversation unfold.
Then, it strikes Chifuyu, what Baji is trying to do, and fuck does it give him an instant headache.
Meanwhile, your mouth morphs into the dopiest of smiles with the pleasant surprise of hearing your boyfriend's voice, chest instantly overtaken by a warm fuzziness that never fails to make an appearance whenever he's involved. Sappy, you know, but it's true!
A light but firm nudge to your shoulder reminds you of your mission. It's too bad that, teetering along the edge of sleep as you are, the words Baji whispers are barely repeated correctly.
The initial phrase from before, the one Baji greeted Mikey with, is shortened to a simple, "You wuv I...?"
But, without missing a beat, you receive Mikey's confident reply of, "Mhm... I wuv you a lot."
There's a sleepy giggle then - a fucking giggle - before your voices drop to sweet whispers that the third and fourth wheels can't fully comprehend from where they are.
"Where the fuck was my 'I wuv you,' huh?!" Baji whisper-shouts, considerate of your conversation even when ranting and raving. "Shit, I would've taken a simple 'I love you,' too! I've known that bastard way longer than (Y/n), and this is what I get?!"
Okay. Toman's president answers his boyfriend's late night calls faster than he does anyone else's and openly expresses his love for him. So what? Chifuyu wouldn't exactly call it 'discrimination,' per se. 'Favoritism,' maybe if you wanna stretch it, but using as strong a word as discrimination, especially taking into account you two are dating; it's normal? Nah.
"You wanna say 'bye' to them? Mm. Baji and Chifuyu." A pause. "Fuyu, Mikey says 'bye.'"
"Bye, Mikey-kun."
The other person in the room waits, and waits, and waits, and when it's clear that there is no intention to address his presence whatsoever, Baji turns to Chifuyu with an almost scandalized expression, making wild gesticulations with his hands, clearly distressed. "See?!"
Blank blue eyes stare back at him, unblinking. Honestly, it's a common occurrence - Baji spiraling in a nonsensical rage - so it's easy for Chifuyu to block out the muted, jealousy-driven temper tantrum as he takes his pillow in both hands, raises it as high as he can, and-
Sigh.
-lets it flop right back onto his face.
He can't suffocate Baji. Shouldn't. Wouldn't. Couldn't. After all, they're best buds, meaning he has an obligation to put up with shit like this once in a while. (Plus, he'd probably get his ass kicked before he succeeds anyway. Totally not worth the beating.)
"Did you hear? Mikey said he wuvs me," he hears you drawl dreamily as soon as you hang up, sounding very close to clocking back out for the night.
"Yeah, yeah. Cute shit. Happy for ya, dude," Baji huffs. Thankfully, he sounds like he's in a similar state to yours, if the yawn that follows his sarcastic comment is anything to go by.
"...He soooo ignored you."
That warrants a punishing punch to the arm, dulled only slightly by the combination of the thick quilt you're swaddled in and the raven-haired boy's fatigue.
"I'll fucking throw you out right now, (Y/n). Don't test me."
"You won't."
"I will."
"Won't."
"Will."
The conversation gradually dies down shortly after, the exhaustion that took its sweet time getting to both of you having reached its peak with the help of the childish bickering. It takes 10 minutes, maybe 15, before two sets of light snores fill the room.
Finally.
Let it be known that there is a lesson to be learned from tonight's events. Really, there is. Y'know, something along the lines of 'Don't agree to a sleepover with Baji, if you plan on actually sleeping,' or whatever.
Alas, Chifuyu's consciousness fades before he realizes what it is.
~~~
"Mikey, be honest. Who do you love more? Me or-?"
"(Y/n)."
"But-"
(Y/n)."
"I-"
"(Y/n)."
Baji is only momentarily discouraged, sharp eyes glaring at the blond that lays his head on your lap after hi-fiving you. He didn't want to do this, but he's left with no choice.
"(Y/n) or Babu?"
From the way Mikey stiffens up, refusing to look at either him or you in the eyes, Baji knows he has him right where he wants him, has him torn between a cute face or a sweet ride.
"Oi! Don't pretend to be asleep! Answer the damn question! OI!"
(After hours of serious contemplation - even though you told him it doesn't particularly matter - it's revealed that, of course, Mikey loves you more. Babu just happens to trail behind as a very close second.)

A Half-naked Nurse and Wrong Ideas.
Bucky x Reader with fever.
Thank you @daredarling for the “you’ve gotten sick and Bucky takes care of you” idea.
——–
You should’ve known better than to race Sam under a thunderstorm last night. Waking up the next morning, you had a massive headache, your muscles felt sore, and you were shivering.
“Miss Y/N, Mr. Barnes says you’re half an hour late in training.” FRIDAY’s voice spoke, making you groan and bring your comforters above you.
“Tell him to fuck off.” you muffled under the sheets.
Barnes… He has been nothing but a pain in the ass to you. To this day, you don’t know what you’ve done for him to dislike you this much. And as if his snarky comments and glares thrown your way wasn’t enough, Steve actually paired you both for missions and trainings.
If he wasn’t so handsome you would’ve cut him already. If Steve allowed you.
Loud bangs hit your door outside. “Y/L/N you’re already 30 minutes late! That’s 5 laps extra for you!” You could hear the irritation lacing his voice.
Maybe if you ignore him long enough, the pest would go away.
“I know you’re in there!” He followed up after you ignored him.
Sighing in annoyance, you got up, with the blankets still wrapped around you, and weakly waddled your way to your door, not bothering to open up your curtains. Opening the door, A frowning Bucky was looking down on you. If you weren’t feeling so shitty, you would’ve snickered at his expression.
“Barnes why are you so obsessed with me?” your cracked voice barely managed to finish asking.
He was observing you from head to toe, noting how pale you are, and shivering under a huge comforter despite that your AC was off.
“You’re stupid.” That was the first thing that came out of his mouth.
“Well, you’re not that sma-”
“Will you shut up and go back to bed? You look like you’re about to drop dead any second now.” He interrupted you, his face still stern with no emotion.
Rolling your eyes, you turned back and weakly made your way back over to bed, pausing to groan as you remembered you forgot to close the door.
“If you’re still there, could you please close the door.” it almost pained you to even be so polite to him but you blame it to being sick.
Finally managing to lie back down, you stared up the ceiling when you heard the door finally shut gently. Sighing, you were about to let sleep take over you when something caught the corner of your eye.
Bucky was by the closed door, taking his shirt off over his head. You let out a shriek. “What the fuck are you doing in my room?!”
“You’re sick.” he replied nonchalantly, while kicking off his shoes, leaving him in his sweatpants and socks.
“And taking off your clothes is supposed to make me feel better?!” you were trying to support yourself with your elbow, facing his way. “And I meant that you close the door before leaving.”
“I don’t want to die of heat while taking care of you.” he replied in a duh tone before entering your bathroom to fetch some warm water in a basin.
You were still trying to process what he was getting at when he finally went back out, now basin with steaming water in hand.
“You got a clean towelette I can use?” has asked as he placed the basin on the foot of your bed.
“Yeah, it’s by the third dra- what the hell are you doing again?” you caught yourself as he was opening your drawers. “Because if you’re trying to kill me, doing it while I’m defenseless is just beneath you.”
“Didn’t think your IQ could get any lower but you’re sick so I’ll let this pass.” He rolled his eyes before soaking the cloth on the water. “I’m nursing you. Now lay flat and still so the cloth won’t fall off that forehead of yours.” he instructed, again sounding so casual.
You followed his orders before realizing that this whole ordeal was still very weird. “I’m sorry, I still don’t get why you’re doing this.”
He went by your head and placed the cloth on your forehead, making you sigh at the warmth it brought your chilling form. “Steve will have my head if he finds out I knew you’re sick and let you die.”
You stared at him deadpan.
“And partners are supposed to be taking care of each other.” he muttered, making the side of your mouth twitch.
“If you tell anyone I said that I’ll kill you.” he lightly threatened when he noticed your mouth twitch.
“Fair enough. And I should probably tell you that I’m prone to get mentally confused when I have fevers which is a normal symptom, but just letting you know in case I start saying something nice.” you chuckled.
He went over your mini fridge and opened a bottle of water to drink.
You look at him, noticing that he was starting to sweat a lot from the heat. His skin was glistening making you mentally kick yourself from staring.
“You got underwear?” you found yourself asking, making him choke on his drink.
“What?”
“I-I’m just saying i-if you’re that hot, you can just take off your sweatpants and I won’t mind.”
“You’re saying I’m hot?” he chuckled, having fun twisting your words, making you flush. “Hey, color’s back on your face. Maybe I should get you all flustered more.” he teased further.
“Shut up Barnes, I meant that the room’s too hot for you because the AC is off. You’re sweating like a pig.”
“Save the excuses, Y/N. You won’t mind if I’ll just be in my boxers?” he smirked at you as he took his socks off and started working on untying the strings of his sweats.
“Puh-lease, Barnes, it may come as a shock to you, but I’ve seen enough men in boxers. You’re not that…”
You trailed off what you were going to say when you noticed that this was a different kind of boxers. Why were they so tight?
You thought he meant boxer shorts, not boxer briefs. Dammit.
“I’m not that…?” He asked.
“I forgot. Fever brain.” You shrugged, diverting your eyes away from him. “Anyway, why are you so nice to me? You hate me.”
“I don’t hate you.” He contradicts, placing his hands on his hips.
“Uh, yeah you do.” you paused to let out a cough. “You always make fun of me or provoke me in front of everyone else.”
“And how do I treat you when we’re alone, especially in missions?” he raised his brows at you, expecting that you’ll put two and two together.
“A lot nicer actually.” You muttered.
“Look, I’m sorry. It’s just that the team keeps insisting I have a crush on you.” he scratched the back of his head.
“That’s ridiculous. Why would they even think that?” you chuckled.
“It’s Sam’s fault. He tricked me.”
“What?”
“He was being all hypothetical, saying what if I was only allowed to date someone from the team and who would I choose. And I uh… may have said I’d choose you. And everyone else heard.” He muttered the last part, embarrassed.
It was your turn to smirk at him. “And why me?”
“Stop that. You look like a smirking corpse.” he snapped at you defensively and cleared his throat. “It’s just that you were actually really nice to me when we met. Didn’t feel like you were masking apprehensiveness like everybody did when I first got here.”
“Sounds like you have a crush on me.” you had the courage to tease him, seeing how flustered he got from telling the story.
“This is not how you treat your nurse, Y/N.”
“Yeah, a nurse in his underwear. Very ethical. And I’m not your supervisor, but I think brooding is not advisable.”
“And now as your nurse, I would advise you to quit talking and get some sleep.”  he playfully glared at you. “I’ll be by the chair to constantly check on your temperature and replace the cloth on your forehead.”
“I really appreciate what you’re doing, Barnes. I’m starting to think the team’s right.”
“Ma’am flirting with patients and vice versa is frowned upon. Now sleep.”
“Fine.”
“Fine.”
——–
While you were finally snoozing for over an hour, gentle knocks were heard on your door.
Standing up from his chair, Bucky quickly made his way over the door to prevent more knocks from disturbing your sleep, forgetting that he was still only in his boxer briefs.
Opening it slowly, he was met with three pairs of wide eyes belonging to Steve, Sam, and Nat.
“Hey you guys, could you keep it down? Y/N is getting some rest.”
“Uhuh… I bet she needs it.” Sam replied slowly, still wide-eyed, noting how Bucky’s slightly sweaty.
“So… when did this happen?” It was Steve’s turn to speak up.
“Oh, just this morning. She was running late and I came here with the intention of punishing her for it but I ended up taking care of her.” He explained in a low voice, still oblivious to how their teammates were getting a totally different idea.
“Woah.” Nat muttered under her breath.
“Yeah, I guess her muscles are all sore because she was moving so weakly, and her voice is all hoarse now when she talks, and -”
“Look we’re happy for you, but TMI, Buck! TMI.” Steve cut him off and the three of them scrambled away from your room, with Sam muttering he didn’t need the unwelcomed visuals, and Nat screaming for Wanda.
Now left alone and confused by the doorway, he was trying to figure out why they reacted that way when it finally clicked.
“Fuck.” he whisper-yelled, knowing that the teasing was about to get worse.

Tumblr media
Jimin can’t help but to watch you from across the room. His eyes follow your movements as you lightly shove Jungkook, teasing him about something Jimin isn’t following, deciding that his attention was better spent looking at you. This isn’t the first time Jimin has lost himself in observing you, in fact, it happens more often than he’d care to admit. At first, Jimin tried to control it, quickly averting his eyes when he realized he was staring just a little too hard. But soon, Jimin found it impossible to look away from you.
See, when Jimin first met you all those years ago, he realized quickly that he’d have trouble getting you off his mind. The way you made his heart beat too fast and his palms get all sweaty were sure signs that he had it bad for you. He figured it would go away soon because it was just a small crush, nothing to worry about. But for Jimin, it never did seem to go away. When he was with you, he just wanted to be closer to you, ensuring he always had the chair beside you to get a front row seat to your radiant smile. When he was away from you, all he did was think about you and your pretty laugh.
Yeah, Jimin’s got it really bad for you.
He thought about confessing to you countless times. Confessing that he ached to be beside you always, that no matter what he did he just couldn’t seem to get you out of his head. God, he wanted to tell you so bad. And he’d get close to it too, pulling you aside, saying he needed to tell you something important. Only, when the time came for him to speak, nothing would come out and he’d find himself scrambling to make something up on the spot.
Although he wishes you knew how he felt about you, Jimin thinks it’s okay that you don’t know. He’s happy to be in your life regardless. Even if he doesn’t get to be the one who takes you out and takes you home and takes your clothes off. God, Jimin wants to take your clothes off.
“Isn’t that right, Jimin?” Your voice directed towards him pulls Jimin out of his thoughts that are quickly turning obscene. “I mean, you know Jungkook pretty well. Wouldn’t you agree?”
You’re looking at him with your eyes wide, waiting for him to agree with you. You’re wearing such a simple outfit but Jimin thinks you look so pretty like this, loose dark green t-shirt half tucked into your jeans and your baby hairs framing your face. Jimin flushes at your prolonged attention on him.
“S-sorry, I wasn’t really listening,” Jimin stammers, partly because he was still unsure of what you were asking him and partly because you just make him nervous.
Jimin’s heart pounds in his chest when you narrow your eyes at him like you’re suspicious of his answer. Just as you open your mouth, Jungkook interrupts, taking your attention off of Jimin. He sighs out a shaky breath. That was a close one, Jimin can’t let you catch him staring like that again.
You and Jungkook continue your playful bickering about God knows what. Jimin doesn’t care enough to start listening, probably wouldn’t even be able to hear the two of you over the sound of his own heart beating so loudly. Sighing, he gets up and steps out onto the balcony for some much needed air.
Hearing his distressed sigh, you and Jungkook’s eyes follow Jimin as he walks away, running his hand through his hair as he goes. You turn to Jungkook with a confused face, silently asking if he knew what was wrong.
“Ah, I don’t know, just ignore him,” Jungkook says, not looking you in the eye.
Jungkook’s a terrible, horrible liar, always has been; you see right through it.
“What is it, Jungkook? Is he upset with me?” You question.
Jungkook scoffs, only making you more confused. You motion for him to continue.
“Jimin likes you,” Jungkook says as if it’s common knowledge and then pauses. “A lot.”
You think your heart stops for a second, before you come to your senses and punch Jungkook in the arm for joking around when you’re not.
“Ow! What was that for?” Jungkook pouts and rubs his arm trying to alleviate the pain.
“Jungkook, seriously. Stop kidding. What’s wrong with him these days?”
“I just told you! He likes you!”
Jimin likes you? Since when? There’s no way, you of all people wouldn’t have figured that out if it was true. But, the thought of it makes your cheeks burn. You always saw Jimin like an angel, something beautiful that you could never be with. It was why you never said anything, figured you’d spare yourself the heartache because nothing but embarrassment would come out of it anyway.
Just then, Jimin walks back in, immediately turning into his and Jungkook’s shared kitchen. You stare at Jungkook with your eyes wide, hoping he might explain more of the details.
“You know what’s wrong now,” Jungkook leans closer to you so Jimin doesn’t hear and whisper-yells. “He’s like head over heels for you, he doesn’t shut up about you!”
“He’s never said anything to me! How can I know for sure?” You whisper-yell back.
“Oh, trust me, you should hear him when he—” Jungkook shuts up when Jimin walks around the corner, headed down the hallway to his room. Jungkook gives you a ‘say something!!’ look and for some reason you listen to him.
“Jimin!” You call out after him, still trying to figure out what to say next.
He turns to you, “Yeah? What’s up?”
Your brain races to find something to say, but comes up short.
“Uh—,” You start, just to fill the space.
“She wanted to know if you’d come over tonight! Right?” Jungkook fills in and turns to you, nodding his head slightly so that you’d get the hint.
“R-right!” You nod your head rapidly.
“She asked me too but I have plans tonight. But you should go!” Jungkook sounds just as nervous as you feel. Terrible, horrible liar.
Jimin looks at you, slightly unsure at the way you and Jungkook are acting but then you send him this smile. This smile, that makes Jimin remember all that is good and pure in this world and he’s sold on your offer.
“Sure, when should I come over?”
“Umm, around 5?” You say, then remember the mess that is your one bedroom apartment. “Actually, how’s 6?”
“6 is good, I’ll see you then,” Jimin smiles at you sweetly before turning to make his way to his room.
You let out a breath you didn’t know you were holding. Jimin’s coming over. He likes you and he’s coming over. Once you hear the door to Jimin’s bedroom click shut, you turn to Jungkook frantically.
“What should I do?” You ask, panic evident in your voice.
“What do you mean ‘what should you do?’” Jungkook obviously doesn’t understand your current dilemma.
You groan at his obliviousness, “I mean, how should I act? Now that I know he likes me?”
“Well,” Jungkook starts, turning to face you fully. “You like him back don’t you?”
Your cheeks burn and you nod slowly. You’ve never told anyone about your feelings for Jimin, out of fear that he’d find out.
“Okay, good. Your next step is obvious. Seduce him.”
You choke on nothing at his suggestion, you want to punch him in the face for even saying that. “Jungkook, are you crazy? How would I even know what to do?” Your hands come up to your temples, rubbing to try and soothe the imminent headache coming your way.
“Jimin is so desperate for you, do anything,” Jungkook reassures you. “Just make a move on him, I’m tired of hearing him in the shower every night.”
Your eyes widen, “Wait wha—”
“I’m not explaining, now go clean your place before Jimin sees how messy you really are,” Jungkook stands, straightening his shirt. “And good luck! Don’t bring Jimin back till well past 11:30, okay?”
“I hate you,” You groan, standing up too to grab your things before saying goodbye and calling out “I’ll see you later!” to Jimin.
Hearing the front door shut, Jimin scrambles into Jungkook’s room where he finds him laying down.
“Oh my god, what now?” Jungkook opens one eye to look at Jimin.
“I can’t go, I won’t be able to control myself,” The words fall out of Jimin’s mouth so quickly Jungkook struggles to catch them.
“Relax. It’s gonna be fine,” Jungkook sits up, motioning for Jimin to sit down beside him.
“How can you be so sure?” Jimin’s voice wavers, he’s so nervous.
“Just trust me, hyung,” Jungkook rubs Jimin’s shoulder, comforting him as much as he could.
“Okay,” The crease in Jimin’s brow has eased a bit. “I guess I’ll go get ready.”
Jimin spends his time picking out his outfit and hating it, then picking out a different one and hating that one too. He messes with his hair, trying to figure out what would look best. Jimin can’t seem to decide on anything. All the while, he’s trying to figure out what he should talk to you about, if he should show up with a gift, maybe flowers? Jimin pops into Jungkook’s room every so often, asking him every question that comes to mind and Jungkook tells him over and over again that he’s overthinking it. Jimin knows he’s probably right; he just can’t calm down when it comes to you.
Being good friends with him and his friends, Jimin saw you quite frequently. He loved seeing you, hearing you laugh at stupid jokes that were being said. And as much as he loved seeing you, most of the time, Jimin tried not to be alone with you. You get Jimin all flustered, make his hands get clammy, he can barely get out complete sentences when it’s just you and him.
Jimin sends you an “i’m here” text when he parks his car and you come down to meet him. He sucks in a breath when he sees you wearing a light yellow dress that hits your mid-thigh.
“Hi, Jimin,” You rock back on your heels, waiting for him to answer.
“H-hey, thanks for inviting me.” Is Jimin still breathing, it doesn’t feel like he’s still breathing.
You wave your hand at his thanks, “Come on.”
You grab his arm and lead him to the elevator, pushing the button to the fourth floor. Jimin’s still unsure if he’s breathing or not, but he has to say it.
“You look nice.” Your smile at his compliment practically blinds Jimin. “P-pretty.”
Your cheeks flame. Yeah, you dressed hoping he would like it but that didn’t mean you were expecting to hear him say it.
“T-thanks,” You bite your cheek and look down, praying Jimin doesn’t see just how red you’ve become.
The rest of the ride up is silent, save for Jimin tapping his fingers on the railing, trying to ease his nerves. You don’t have to lead Jimin to your apartment, he knows which one it is, having visited with Jungkook plenty of times. You fumble with your keys, hands shaking slightly at the idea of you and Jimin being alone.
“I got us some snacks,” You say as you open the door and direct him to the small coffee table that has bags of chocolate and candies and chips piled up.
“That’s… a lot of snacks,” Jimin turns to you and laughs softly.
“I wasn’t sure what to get, okay?” You mumble and turn to close the door (and to hide your, once again, flushed cheeks).
Jimin’s made his way to your living room, sitting on the floor with his back against the sofa. Taking a deep breath, you sit beside him reaching for the tv remote and handing it to Jimin.
Jimin doesn’t even remember what movie he picked. He keeps his eyes glued to the tv even though doesn’t like the movie because it’s better than losing himself in the way your crossed legs look in that dress. Doesn’t even want to think about how smooth your thighs would feel under his palms. Jimin is a weak, weak man, especially when it comes to you.
45 minutes into the movie Jimin picked you’re so uninterested in the movie you could die. You look over to Jimin, his eyes are unwavering from the tv, his hand stuck in the air with a chip in it, too busy to bring it up to his mouth. Even in his focused state he’s still the most beautiful man you’ve ever seen, lips puckered in confusion and his brows furrowed. You want to roll your eyes at him for not taking the perfect opportunity to say something to you. Leave it to yourself to make anything happen.
You slowly slide your hand across the short distance to his knee. You place it there lightly, feeling Jimin tense slightly underneath. His attention is now on your small hand, you can hear him gulp.
“Jimin,” you purr from beside him, squeezing his knee making him jolt. “Jungkook told me something today.”
Jimin gulps again, heart creating earthquakes inside his body. “W-what did he say?”
You turn your body towards him, sitting on your knees and sliding your hand just an inch higher. Jimin can’t make eye contact with you.
“Well, he told me something about you,”
Jimin’s breathing is shallow now, chest moving up and down quickly. You’re looking down at him with this look that makes him feel like he’s going to explode and Jimin thinks he probably will soon. Then you throw a leg over his lap, making yourself comfortable on his thighs and Jimin knows he’s going to combust.
“O-oh? W-what would that be?” He tries, really tries to sound cool, unaffected by your practically bare legs around him but fails.
Your clothed core against Jimin’s thigh provides instant relief to the pressure that had built up. You slide your hands up his toned chest, slinging your arms around his neck. Jimin flushes at your sudden closeness. He tries so hard not to ogle the way your tits squish together but the neckline of your dress is so low and Jimin can’t help it.
“Oh, come on, Jimin! I know you like me, know you wanna fuck me,” You say exasperatedly. “Jungkook told me!”
“He told you that?” Jimin looks horrified at Jungkook’s breach of trust.
“Well don’t you?” You cock your head to the side, baffled as to why he hasn’t pushed the skirt of your dress up to your waist by now.
Jimin carefully brings his hands to rest on your hips, still wary of the situation. Under his touch, your body feels like it’s on fire. You can feel your panties sticking to your soaking pussy. You move up Jimin’s thighs, your chest almost touching his.
“Don’t you, Jimin?” You repeat your question softly. “Just say it; I know you do.”
“F-fine. I like you,” Jimin blushes fiercely, mumbling under his breath. “Wanna fuck you. Can’t believe he told you.”
Your heart does twirls at Jimin’s confession. You duck your head down, trying to catch his eyes but he looks away.
“Jimin,” His name comes out so softly. “I like you too, you know.”
Jimin’s head shoots up, his eyes are wide and starting to water a bit. He’s wanted to hear you say those words for so long that maybe his mind is playing tricks on him. He couldn’t have heard you correctly, could he?
“R-really?” He asks so quietly, as if he says it any louder you might change your mind.
“Really,” You confirm, brushing your thumb against his soft cheek.
“Oh,” Jimin looks flustered now. “I didn’t know.”
“And now that you do?” You’re so close to begging him to just do something.
With his heart leaping, Jimin inches his face closer to yours. Jimin’s longed to know how your lips would feel for so long, they always look just so soft. He wants to know if they’re as soft as they look. His eyes flicker down to them, just in time to catch your tongue poking out to wet them. The sight makes Jimin surge forward, planting his lips on yours.
Jimin’s lips feel just like you imagined, plush and velvety against yours. His hand comes up to cup your cheek, tilting your head to the side. You want to savor your first kiss with him, really you do, but it seems your hips have a mind of their own when they move against the growing tent in Jimin’s pants. You can’t contain the whine that tumbles out of your mouth, much like Jimin can’t control the groan he lets out.
“Jimin,” It comes out muffled against his lips.
Jimin doesn’t dare to take his lips off yours, only letting out a low “hm?” in response.
It takes all your strength to pull away from him, but you're desperate to feel him touch you.
“Do you wanna take my dress off?” You ask, already pushing a strap down.
Jimin’s hand doesn’t move fast enough to push down the other strap making the dress fall slightly. He groans at the sight of the tops of your breast being exposed. His hands pull down the neckline of your dress, nipples pebbling as they are exposed to the cold air. His hands come up to cup them softly, just pressing the pads of his fingers into the flesh.
“Jimin,” You whine. “Do something.”
Leaning forward, Jimin licks a circle around your nipple, rolling the other between his thumb and index finger. The cry you let out is lewd and it’s music to Jimin’s ears. His tongue rubs over your nipple before he latches on it, sucking roughly. Your fingers tangle in the strands of Jimin’s hair, pushing him as close to you as possible.
“God, I love your tits,” Jimin confesses before moving to the other nipple.
You let out a pathetic moan, pushing your crotch down on Jimin’s, craving any kind of relief. Jimin moans around your nipple, sending vibrations throughout your body. He removes his mouth from you, leaning back and kneading your breasts with both hands. You flush under his intense gaze, hips still rocking back and forth.
“Can I taste you?” The  obscenity of what he says and the politeness of Jimin’s voice don’t match up sending shivers down your spine.
“Y-yeah, please.”
You let Jimin guide you to the floor, placing a pillow under your head and another under your hips. He pulls the dress down your legs, setting it to the side with care. You giggle at that, it’s so Jimin, and he sends you a small smile. Between your legs, Jimin runs his palms up and down your thigh (they’re just as soft as he thought they would be). Leaning down, he kisses up your thigh to the band of your panties, placing soft kisses there too. Your body buzzes under Jimin’s lips.
“Gonna take this off,” Jimin murmurs against your skin.
He rolls them your legs, placing them aside, using the same care he did with the dress. You’d giggle again but the way Jimin’s taking in the sight of your dripping pussy clenching around nothing makes the giggle get caught in your throat.
“So pretty,” Jimin sounds in awe as he traces the puffy lips of your cunt.
His praise makes your face flush. His fingers trace lightly around you before he pushes forward and leaves a wet kiss on your fluttering clit.
“J-Jimin,” You gasp at the feeling of his tongue, taking short quick flicks against you.
He travels down to your clenching hole, licking a thick stripe all the way up to your clit, sucking harshly.
You sob loudly, closing your legs around Jimin’s head. His arms wrap around your thighs to keep them open.
“You taste so good,” Jimin divulges before continuing his attack on your clit.
His fingers probe lightly against your drenched core, dipping them in lightly before taking them out again. You push your hips down on his face, greedy for more of him. You can feel him smirk against you at your urgency. He pushes two fingers in slowly, waiting until you’ve gotten used to the stretch before pulling them out and shoving them back in. You throw your head back in ecstasy, calling out Jimin’s name.
“So wet for me, all for me,” Jimin says it like he can’t believe it.
His fingers scissor inside you, curling when he hears you moan loudly, his tongue still assaulting your clit. He can feel you tightening around him, your walls fluttering.
“Jimin,” You call out warningly. “I-I’m so close.”
“That’s good, baby,” He says proudly, speeding up the pace of his fingers.
“N-no, wanna cum around you,” It comes out of your mouth brokenly.
Jimin groans against your clit, sending another wail out of your mouth. You whine when he pulls his fingers out even though it was your doing. Jimin quickly rids himself of his jeans, the tightness of them was starting to get painful. He situates himself between your legs again, grabbing his cock and pumping it a few times before rubbing the tip against your folds.
“Jimin,” You plead, impatient to feel Jimin stretch you. “Please.”
Jimin pushes in slowly, letting out a whine when he can feel you stretch around him. You cling to his shoulders, making crescent marks with your fingernails.
“Y-you feel fucking amazing,” Jimin pants. “Holy shit.”
You moan loudly as Jimin starts driving his cock further inside you. Jimin’s lips find your neck, leaving wet kisses down the base.
“Feels so good, Jimin.”
Your hands tangle in his hair again, pulling at the roots causing Jimin to moan.
“Been waiting forever to fucking do this,” Jimin says between thrusts. “Don’t ever wanna fucking stop.”
“T-then don’t.”
Jimin’s rhythm speeds up, thrusting in and out of you roughly. With one hand beside your head steadying him, he reaches his other hand down to your clit, rubbing in circles with two fingers. The obscene squelching sound of your pussy and you and Jimin’s moan bounce off the walls.
“J-Jimin, I’m close, so f-fucking close,” You sob loudly, tears welling in your eyes.
“Kiss,” You reach out for Jimin, trying to pull him down to you. “Kiss me, please.”
Jimin obliges happily, smashing his swollen lips on yours. Your pussy clenches around him before your release gushes out. You see stars as your legs shake around him.
“Good girl, my good girl,” Jimin praises, still thrusting inside you, chasing his own release.
As you come down from your orgasm, Jimin’s trusts become sporadic, signalling to you that he’s close too.
“Cum inside, please.”
Jimin looks at you like he’s never heard something more pleasing. You watch his face crumple in bliss as he releases inside you, covering your walls in white.
Chest heaving, Jimin slumps forward, careful not to put all his weight on you, burying his face in the crook of your neck. You’re both sweaty and it might have felt gross to Jimin if this was someone else, but this was you and Jimin has loved you for so long.
When he catches his breath, he moves down your body to look at you. Jimin never wants to forget the way your pussy looks when his cum is dripping out of it. You whine at the sensitivity when he swipes his tongue against you, collecting your mixed arousal. He leans back up to kiss you, letting you taste him and yourself on his tongue. And that might have felt gross to you if this was someone else, but this was Jimin and you have loved for so long.
Jimin pulls away with a satisfied smile, laying down beside you.
“So, what did Jungkook tell you?”
You turn to him with a smirk on your face, “Told me you think about me in the shower.”
Jimin’s face turns redder than you’ve ever seen it.
“I’m gonna kill him, seriously.”
“Really?” You tease, tracing your finger on Jimin’s chest. “I think we should thank him.”
“You’re right,” Jimin concedes. “I’m gonna thank him and then kill him.”

enjoy an amusement park date with Artem <3
Tumblr media
Artem Wing is a dedicated man.
If it had been any other person, they would be home right now.
but not him.
Even now, as the looming hours of the night began to tick, he sits at his swivel chair, busied with the love of his life called paperwork.
"Aren't you overworking yourself?" He looked up from his papers to see Celestine waltzing inside his office with documents in hand.
The question should've made him stop and think to at least consider getting rest, but no, we're talking about Artem the workaholic here.
He has heard Celestine's question directed at him for the past few days, and from different people at that.
"Overworking means I have more time to double-check these documents," Artem said as he reached out for the folder that Celestine brought over, "Don't you think it's pretty convenient?"
"Artem," She started with concern in her blue-green eyes, "I know you're trying to distract yourself."
Artem was silent for a few moments before coughing, "Whatever do you mean? There's nothing I have to distract myself from." He said with complete calmness in his voice that he could even fool himself.
"You don't have to hide it, you know? I see the way you look at them," She smiled as she recalled the lingering stares and soft smiles setting display into Artem's face when he's around his colleague "The way you act around Y/N." she added with a hint of teasing.
The mention of your name seemed to short-circuit Artem's brain, Celestine took advantage of this with delight.
"Also... They've been getting friendly and close with that new employee.." She puts her hands on her chin, thinking.
Earlier today, she caught Artem's looks of distraught while his eyes were on you and the new guy. You were having a friendly conversation.
Too friendly.
After that, The youngest senior attorney even requested you to work with him at his desk, claiming that he, quote "needs to keep close tabs on the files that Y/N is handling." end quote.
but Celestine knew better.
Jealous is the only word that can describe how Artem was acting. She decided she will push his buttons tonight.
"Aren't you... threatened?" She beamed at him, waiting for his reaction.
"..."
"They've been on your mind lately, I reckon."
"..."
"They're getting closer with each other, don't you think?"
"..."
Hopeless. Celestine thought.
To say that she's frustrated with this whole situation surrounding the two of you is an understatement. Everyone in your circle clearly sees it - you and Artem like each other.
In the way he bought cake for the whole office that one afternoon the day after an episode of an office drama aired, or in the way that he went out of his way to take care of you in the hospital when you overworked yourself to sickness, or in the way you blushed around each other, the lingering touches, oh the lingering touches. It was all obvious.
The both of you spend your time together more than anyone else, everyone thinks your blooming affections were inevitable at this point. Solving controversial cases meant having the mental and emotional intimacy to get to know each other better compared to your average professional relationship.
You don't see each other as "working partners" anymore, it's clear that you guys want each other as a different kind of partner.
It was known to everyone except for the two of you, apparantly.
Celestine sighed before rummaging through the magazine shelf in the office, grinning when she found what she's looking for.
Artem shot her a look of suspicion. He has a bad feeling about this.
"There." She said with satisfaction before dropping the magazine into his desk.
The magazine lays there, with an eye-catching font and colorful cover page, Artem blushes as his eyes read, 100 cute date ideas...
Judging from the cover, the magazine might actually be useful when giving date suggestions. Under the big font however, there was a smaller text that read, Your significant other is waiting!
What is this...
"I'm sorry but I have work to finish." He tried his best to unsee what he just saw, and decided to turn his focus on the headache of workload in front of him instead.
Celestine raised her eyebrows at him with a frown, "Don't be stubborn now, I'm your boss, I'm giving you both a day-off tomorrow. I mean, you haven't used your day-off at all ever since you started working here. So please. " Her voice is laced with concern.
He looked away with a sentimental look in his eyes, "You don't have to do this for me. I'm fine with... Giving them affection without them realizing it."
Celestine just frowns deeper.
"Come on now Artem, doesn't it sound tempting to you?" She clasped her hands and continued a little too excitedly like a schoolgirl in love, "Having alone time with Y/N, finally asking them out on the date so the other guys threatening your future can back off."
It does sound tempting, Artem admits.
He looked away with reddened cheeks, "I'll think about it."
He doesn't need to look at Celestine to know she's sporting a big grin right now.
Later that night on his bed, his mind keeps flashing images of you. You, wearing a big, warm smile on your face. You, with your little mannerisms that he came to memorize from hours of being with you. Every little thing, every moment, as long as it's with you, he cherishes it.
Oops. The butterflies are starting.
He didn't mind.
You looked stunning today, but then again, he finds you stunning everyday.
When was I this cheesy? He thought to himself.
His thoughts kept racing with reveries about you when a new image interrupted every nice thought.
It was of you and the new employee laughing together.
He frowned and his stomach churns.
"Are they interested in each other?" He finds himself asking the wind. His mind was reeling.
He thinks about the time when he first heard you say that you were married to your work. Surely, you aren't interested in being in a relationship with some guy, right?
Right?
Groaning, he then realized that he needs to make a move now before it's too late.
To him, you're the loveliest person he's ever met, your kindness, your welcoming smile, the passion that you present when you're in the court, the way you always remain headstrong no matter how many people clash with you and try to break your principles.
The only one that occupies his heart, you.
Artem is sure he won't regret giving you his feelings, and eventually, reveal them.
He got up from his bed and sent a glare at the magazine that is now resting on the lamp table beside his bed, mocking him. He picked it up with less hesitation than before.
'What should I choose?' Artem asked himself before flipping the pages, a faint blush adorning his cheeks.
This is a big step for him, and he wants to make sure that he's going to do it right.
7:00am
You rubbed your eyes and stretched your limbs as the sunlight permeated through your bedroom window, the yellow glow giving you a peaceful feeling, a new day is about to start.
A new day without work at that.
You had been ecstatic when Celestine called you to inform you last night of your long awaited day-off, you smiled at the memory as you stand up to brush your teeth.
"You deserve it for all your hardwork!" Even through the phone, you heard the smile in her voice.
Soon, your thoughts drifted to a certain raven-haired man.
'How about Artem? I'm his assistant, does he get a day-off too?' You wondered as you finished washing your mouth, finally heading off to the kitchen to prepare for breakfast.
You were about to choose what to eat from the fridge when you hear a song play from your phone in your room.
You hurriedly went back as you recognized that ringtone - that ringtone you had set for a particular contact.
There on the screen, displays the name of the object of your affections.
Mr. Wing.
'Why is he calling this early? What could he possibly need?' you thought to yourself before pressing the green button.
"Good morning Artem, what is it?" you didn't even try to hide the happiness from your voice, Artem calling you this early doesn't happen often, after all.
"Good morning. Do you have plans for today?" His morning voice echoed through your ears. It was husky and rough, filling all of your senses.
Realizing that he just woke up, you can't help but blush at the thought of being the first person to talk to him today.
He thought of you first thing in the morning!
You tried to control the lingering heat in your face as you replied, "Uhm, yes uhh- none. I have no plans for today, Artem. I'll be thinking of what to do though. Why did you ask? " You hoped he didn't mind the sttuttering mess presented to him this early in the morning.
You wondered if there's an emergency case needed to be taken care of, he rarely ever calls outside of work.
Then again, you're always at work.
"That's good," the other line was silent for a bit. As your anticipation for his reply grew, he finally said, "A new amusement park is going be opened today. I heard they'll be having a fireworks display tonight to celebrate the opening."
You've heard about the said amusement park from your coworkers yesterday, you even heard that it was a project from PAX.
Marius' wealth truly knows no bounds, you thought.
Kiki even invited you to come with her this sunday, as it's the only freetime the both of you had before Celestine's sudden news of a day-off.
Is Artem coming there today? He doesn't seem like the type to go to amusement parks, but now you know that he likes them, or at least he didn't mind going, you added this info to your list of things about Artem that make you fall in love with him more and more. Because let's be honest, what's there not to like about the man?
He's handsome, sweet, a good cook, a senior attorney you can look up to, and he always makes sure to reassure you that you're doing well, that he's proud of you.
He cleared his throat, breaking you out of your thoughts, "Do you want to go there..." He paused, his nerves getting the better of him, unbeknownst to you, "With me? I have two tickets, and I wanted to invite a close friend. Is that alright with you? "
What?
'Is he asking me out on a date!?' you were practically screaming internally as you paced frantically in your room.
No. No way. This isn't a date. Not until he says so.
He said 'close friend' so you shouldn't overthink this. You were partners, after all!
At least you try to convince yourself.
"Of course Artem. I'm glad you invited me, I'm really happy." You weren't lying, his invite was the most unexpected thing that happened to you this week.
He hummed, "I'm happy, too. I'll be there at 2:30pm to fetch you, they'll open around 3pm. " He said in a gentle voice before hanging up.
You pumped your fist in the air. You have plenty of time to prepare.
2:30pm
Among all of the outfits that you could've worn today, you decided to wear a cute, beige, knitted sweater. A pair of faded ripped jeans, white sneakers, and a beanie to top it all off.
The amusement park being your destination, you decided to wear casual clothing since you'd be hopping on rides left and right.
You wouldn't want to wear a skirt just for it to blow on the wind while you're in the air, screaming for dear life.
Nope. You definitely don't want that.
You're now waiting outside your apartment after Artem sent you a text 5 minutes ago that he's on his way.
Your head is plagued with expectations on how this friendly date is going to go. You've never felt as giddy as this before.
It's understandable, right? The person you like asked you out to go with him to an amusement park - using his morning voice, nonetheless, so it wouldn't be strange for you to think that this is like an actual date.
You bonked yourself mentally.
You keep reminding yourself that it's just a friendly date. It's just a friendly date. You believe in the power of your mind, it's a friendly date. He even said so himself.
Artem's going to think you're weird. It's not like you're going to hold hands or anything...
Yet, you didn't even try to stop the daydream clouding your mind.
While you were busy indulging yourself in your fantasies, your eyes caught a familiar spot of black in the parking lot. Artem's car!
That's your cue. When his car stopped, you made your way over to him with a small smile on your face.
His black car opened, spilling out Artem clad in his casual clothing.
You scanned his appearance, taking in those breath-taking, familiar eyes. Taking in the beige, knitted sweater he's wearing, paired with slacks and black shoes.
Wait.
You did a double take- beige, knitted sweater?
You looked at his clothes, then looked down at your own, then back at his again.
Red and warmth crept up to your cheeks as realization hits you.
You kind of looked like a couple.
"What's wrong?" Artem inquired with concern as he stepped closer and reached out his hands to your flustered form.
He even placed his hand on your forehead to check your temperature.
Yes, you think you have a fever.
It's only when he got to take a good look at you when realization hits him the way it hit you.
He retreated his hand and looked away, face as warm as yours.
"Uhh..."
"..."
Why are you acting like a highschooler!? You're better than this, getting flustered just because you wore identical clothes.
With the person you like, you added.
The both of you stayed silent for a few seconds before you spoke up with a grin, thankful that the pink that dusted your cheeks is now cooling down a bit, "We should get going now."
You expected the ride to be as awkward as earlier, but to your relief, that wasn't the case at all.
Artem played the radio on your drive to the amusement park, and even asked you about how you're feeling lately and whatnot.
Honestly, with how he's always so concerned about your well-being, you're doomed to fall even harder.
"What are your favorite rides, Artem?" You decided to talk about something connected to where you're going to go.
"Hmm," as he hummed, you looked in front of the car to see the gates of the amusement park came into view. You can even see the familiar structure of a rollercoaster and a really grand ferris wheel turning slowly.
Majestic.
Is the motif for this amusement park golden!? The railings are shimmering with gold, some parts of the rides are adorned with gold, wherever you look, gold!
PAX outdid themselves with this one, definitely took "shining, shimmering, splendid" to a whole new level. Too much for the word grandeur, you think.
You can't even imagine how wide the place must be. You haven't even stepped foot inside, yet your eyes were oogling as some more rides were seen from outside the gates.
"We're here Artem! Look!" From your side, Artem turns to take a look from the road to the park, his eyes screaming nothing but amusement.
"It's beautiful," He breathed while you nodded furiously with agreement. He shot you a look, "I'm glad I get to spend my first time here with you." The softness is his eyes is blinding as you stared at him and processed his words.
"Me too..." you managed to choke out, turning away to hide your blush.
While you were taming your flushed cheeks, Artem had parked the car already.
He opened the doors for the both of you as he offered you his arm. Confusion takes over your features.
"So you wouldn't get lost, it's a big crowd out here, " He tilted his head to have a better look at your still sitting form inside the car, "Let's go?" He said with that gentle smile, as comforting as ever.
You stood up and linked your arm with his and suggested, "How about the bumpy car first?" excitement was evident in your voice.
He shook his head and chuckled, "Whatever you wish." He said as he locked the car doors with a click. You both headed to check in and do the formalities first. After all that, with a skip to your step, you pulled Artem to the bumpy car's ticket booth, and went inside.
You're elated.
"I can't believe the Artem Wing, the youngest senior attorney, is losing to me!" You sound hysterical as you bumped Artem's car with yours over and over, your bumpy car dominating his.
This is fun! Just minutes earlier, the atmosphere between you and Artem seemed a little tight because of the matching clothing incident. Just a little. However, the laughter of everyone playing in this space is infectious, it leaves you in a really good and playful mood.
It makes you feel like you were a kid again. You hope Artem feels the same.
Before playing, you made a bet with him earlier that whoever bumps the other the most, wins.
"Y/N. I think this car is defective." He said with a frown, his eyebrows furrowing as his hands tinker whatever there was in the steering wheel.
You looked over to him and replied, "We can switch cars, let me see." The two of you switched from each other's bumpy ride and you assessed the supposedly 'broken' car.
You realized he didn't push the right buttons to ride the bumper properly.
"Artem..." You looked at him blankly and said, "Have you ever been to bumpy cars before?"
He was silent before replying with darting eyes, "No, I haven't," He cleared his throat, "I have only been to the ferris wheel and escape rooms, I haven't been to bumpy rides before. Sorry."
You beamed at him.
"Don't be sorry!" You flail your arms to disagree, "There's nothing wrong with that. I'm actually happy that you allowed me to drag you here despite you not having played it before." You flashed him a thankful smile.
He looked a little surprised at first, but then that warm smile of his came back, "Thank you." You stared at each other's eyes for a few beats in time, his ocean eyes containing a sparkle you rarely see them hold. It looks so gentle, so welcoming.
So fond.
You stared at each other for a while, his deep eyes were enough to drown out the crowd. To drown out everything that existed but him.
Blinking, you snapped out of it to teach him how to drive the car.
The cars were booster types, different from the old models wherein you just turn the wheels and you'll be good. In this specific model, commands are needed to be performed in order for the car to execute it's special feature.
"You turn it like this..." Artem is a fast-learner, so the both you were back on track as soon as you guided him the directions.
In the end, you were tied, the bumper time limit resulting the draw.
"I'm definitely beating you next time!" you declared with a smug look, hands on your waist.
After the bumper, a receptionist from what seemed like a family raft ride made his way to invite the two of you.
"You guys look like you're having fun!" He then pointed at the paper he's holding and said with persuasion, "You're going to have even more fun here! The family raft ride is the only free ride we're offering in the park for it's first day, be sure not to miss out on this special bonus!" He then turned his heel to find more costumers.
You blinked, "Too bad we don't have extra clothes..." You hung your head low and you sighed as your mind thinks of a different ride to enjoy.
"Well, he did say it's a special bonus," Artem pondered, "They sell clothes here anyway, and there are restrooms we can change on," you wondered if this is going the way you think it's going, "I can see no harm in trying this free ride." He finished with the corners of his lips turned upwards.
Your eyes sparkled with so much joy that he's glad he suggested this.
"Then what are we waiting for!?" You squeal and jump from where you stand and Artem could only shake his head at you with an adoring look in his ocean eyes.
You both headed to the line of people waiting to get their tickets for the raft.
"That's a long line..." You're already mentally tired as you stared at the single file of people in front of you.
"There's still plenty of time before the fireworks at 7pm, I can go and buy us ice cream. Do you want some? "
You're face fell, remembering you were on a diet, "I appreciate the offer, but no thanks, I'm on a diet." An ice cream sounds really tempting right now, but you must resist.
"I heard they sell low-fat ice cream in here. How about that?" He proposed as his eyes glinted with satisfaction.
He knew this would do you in, sure enough, you gave him the biggest grin you could muster.
"You're the best, Artem! Any flavor is fine, by the way. " You beamed as he turned his heel to the ice cream stall, you just stared at his back the whole time he was away.
A minute later, the man wearing a cozy beige sweater that matches yours turned around and went over to you, two chocolate chip ice cream in hand. You reached out to take your ice cream, your fingers brushing.
You ignored the tingling feeling and the chills. He looked away.
While eating, you talked about how the line for the rollercoaster was two times longer than the raft's even though it's literally free.
"I believe they added a new feature to the coaster." Artem reasoned.
"You bet. The rides' golden theme is already impressive enough," You eyed the unbelievably long line from the coaster's ticket booth, "We can go back here some time to see that feature for ourselves." your face heated as you realized the implications in your words.
His eyes widened for a single moment and then looked at you with such intensity you can't bring yourself to look away, "I'd love that." a gentle look worms it's way in his features once again.
Comfortable silence dawns on your own, little world while you both busied yourselves in your ice cream.
The two of you were thrilled as it was your turn to ride the raft, ice cream long gone, replaced by the life-vest in your hands.
"Ah," you sighed, fumbling with the vest a little longer than you should have.
Artem, of course, noticed your movements. He was kind enough to help you adjust the vest.
Of course.
"Come here." He said as his arms finds it's way to your waist, pulling you towards his stature. His hot breath hitting your face while he circled his arms around you to wrap the vest securely.
This is not good for your heart...
He's so close, you could kiss him if you wanted...
He pulled away, his warmth lingering still.
Even when the both of you sat down on the raft. The ride is going to start in a few and here you are, lost in the feeling of Artem being near you.
"Y/N," You abruptly turned your head to him when he suddenly called you, "are you nervous?"
You blushed so hard you wanted to evaporate with the water, 'Yes. You make me nervous.' you're tempted to respond.
"Yes, but don't worry about me." was your reply instead, and you smiled awkwardly and stared at his blue eyes, blue eyes laced with concern.
He leaned closer, probably so that the other people within your raft wouldn't hear, "I care about you and I want you to feel as comfortable as possible," he whispered in your ear, sending chills to your spine.
This is definitely not comfortable, Mr. Wing.
Your heart is doing flips, this isn't normal!
"Please tell me if you need something." The gentleness in his voice took your breath away the way it did as the first time.
The fact that he's unaware of his effect on you angered you so much. You scanned his face for signs of teasing. Smirk, maybe a playful glint, anything.
Yet you found none.
The raft began to move, a perfect timing to change the subject!
You leaned on him, but not too close, and whispered, "It's starting."
Water began to splash, as the raft moved with the current.
The track was smooth at first, you getting small splashes here and there.
Until a bumpy track decided to present itself.
Like before, the raft went with the flow of the water, except that it bounced and rotated harshly that one particular splash of water was enough to wet you and your clothes completely.
"OH MY G-" you exclaimed when the raft hit a rough spot again, soaking everyone wet.
You were making a surprised pikachu face as the water seeped into your clothes.
You turned to look at Artem to see his state and you suppressed a giggle with how he's making the same face as you did earlier.
Never in your life you thought you'd see Artem with the surprised pikachu face.
You took pride in knowing that you're one of the very few people who gets to see this side of him.
"Artem!" you shouted through the noisy stream of water. "We look silly!" you laughed as the water rocked everyone in the raft as harsh as it possibly can. Round and round, back and forth.
"We do!" his laughed mingled with yours even when the water relentlessly kept soaking your already wet bodies.
You smiled once again, gazing at his form with profound fondness longer than just a friend would've done.
6:00pm
"That was really fun!" You shouted to the air while Artem scooted beside you, offering his arm like he did earlier, which you eagerly took.
The both of you went for another round on the raft after the first round, not caring about the long waiting line. The ride was worth it!
All you ever did was scream and laugh at each other's state, but it was the most enjoyment you've ever had in years.
You were completely dry now, changed into fresh clothes that were sold as the park's merchandise.
Even with the change of clothes, the clothes you were wearing right now still matched Artem's.
You weren't complaining.
The crowd continues to enjoy themselves, all while the sunset was making everything in the theme park look like a fairytale.
"Yes, it was. I enjoyed it very much." Artem flashed a smile so genuine, you wanted to see this sight a thousand times more. The orange glow of the sunset gives his raven hair a golden shade, light reflecting on his blue eyes, making him look so bewitching. So you carved it to your memory, not knowing how to elicit that same image from him once again.
Looking up at him, and looking back at the things that happened today, you realized something.
You couldn't take this silent pining anymore, you wanted to tell him how precious his smile is to you, to tell him you're glad he's spending his time with you, to tell him to make more memories with you.
To tell him he's the reason of the warmth flooding your whole being right now.
'I'm in love with you' is what you first thought of saying. No matter how cliche that may be, you wanted to let him know, that you're in love with him.
"Uhh, Artem, I-" You were about to spill your feelings then and there when a voice boomed the speakers of the park.
"Everyone! One hour more to go for the fireworks! Please look forward to it!"
Your confession's gonna have to wait for later.

masterlist  || taglist || [next  ; updates every friday]
Tumblr media
The sound of your alarm blared at the crack of dawn, making you immediately jerk up in an unfashionable manner, you shouldn’t drink on Sunday nights. Good lord,  why did you even do that?-
Your thoughts are cut short though when you feel something, better yet, someone, next to you. It’s dark but you could definitely tell that whoever this stranger is, had settled himself quite comfortably by your side. You blink once then twice then slowly reached out to switch your lamp open to get a good look on who was next to you.
Thankfully, you’re still in your clothes from last night.
Also, who the fuck is this?
Your brows are furrowed together as you try to remember who this person was. Blonde hair and jaw so sharp that it could probably cut the vegetables on your kitchen counter, some fine lines littered his face as he wrinkled his forehead in his sleep.
The tie on his neck is loose as you slowly peered to observe him even more and for some odd reason that made your ears turn bright red as you check out his rather lean figure (he wasn’t overly muscular, he was just right)
“Oh shit.” You mumbled, snapping out of your daze, you had to focus! This was a stranger for crying out loud, “Who the-”
Before you could even say anything more, his eyes shot open and you’re greeted by chocolate brown eyes. You try to stutter out a reply, clearly in your frazzled state the only thing you could let out was, “What the fuck?”
“Oh, you’re awake.” his voice was deep and quite raspy, and daresay, it suited his rather sharp appearance.
Was this stranger awake this whole time that you were gawking at him under the dim light? Your ears turn even a brighter shade of pink. Was it just the heater or was this room getting hotter than it should be?
Yet despite your flustered state though, he thankfully remains oblivious, “Are you feeling any better?” he asks.
Despite his bland facial expression, there was a certain warmth in his tone and that made your heart beat quicken. It wasn’t everyday that you’d wake up to find a good looking older gentleman next to you after all, “I’m good…” You shyly replied, the confidence you had moments ago while you were cursing him was gone when you heard his soft tone, “I- sorry but who are you? What happened?”
He stares at you for a moment and purses his lips, “Nanami Kento.” he introduces himself briefly. From the likes of it, he seemed like a professional, “To be honest, I don’t have much recollection from last night due to the alcohol. When I woke up a few moments ago, you wouldn’t let go and I had no choice but to lay there and wait for you to wake up.”
You paled just a bit at his explanation and turned bright red right after, how embarrassing! Not only did you just embarrass yourself in front of this older gentleman awhile ago, you did something so unlike you last night! Thank god this ojisan was a lot more calmer than you. He didn’t even look that perplexed or annoyed by your state at all.
He runs his hands through his soft blonde hair after and lets out a low groan.
“D-Does your head hurt, Nanami-san?”
“Yes.”
“I-would you-” you tried to stammer a few words out yet you're immediately cut off by his phone ringing.
Right, boundaries. You shouldn’t overstep them since you already did so much last night to disturb him despite you two being so out of it. You watch him as he answers his cell phone in a quick and suave manner, all traces of hungover gone, “Nanami speaking.” He greets as soon as he answers the call, “I understand. Please try to help them out and I apologize for the inconvenience.”
He ends the call and stands up, tightening his tie. Despite him spending the night here, he still looked orderly and it’s so unfair because right now, you knew you looked like absolute shit with the alcohol and booze in your system.
“I have to take my leave now. I apologize for intruding.” he bows down formally.
You’re pretty sure you were the one who intruded, his actions makes you immediately stand up despite the throbbing headache which was definitely a wrong move because the moment you did, you felt your legs giving out.
Great.
“I-sorry, I would bow…” You tried to stammer out an apology, ears bright red once again, just how much could you embarrass yourself in front of this gentleman?  “Sorry for the intrusion too Nanami-san.”
He leaves without saying anything much to your relief and as soon as you hear your front door close, you scream right at the pillow.
“Stupid, stupid, stupid!” You muffled at the pillow.
Thank God you wouldn’t be seeing him ever again!
Tumblr media
“L/N-sensei.”
You turn to find Maki and Megumi standing there, they were members of a rather elite family in Tokyo, Most often you avoided bumping shoulders with Megumi’s father since he was, well, quite a tease and although you do admit that Toji Zen’in is a very good-looking and fine man from a very good background, you couldn’t look past the fact that you taught his kids mathematics and there was a good fifteen year age gap between you two, “Hi there.” A warm smile dances on your lips, “Is this about the earlier math problem again?”
The question was directed to Maki, Megumi wasn’t one to ask questions about his lessons since he wasn’t fond of academics.
“Actually, it isn’t. Toji-ojisan says you should come to his birthday.” Maki shrugged, “He says his 40th birthday wouldn’t be complete if you weren’t there.”
Ah, that’s why Megumi didn’t want to go alone. The young boy’s cheeks are painted pink, clearly embarrassed by his father’s antics, “Ah,” You laughed, trying to play it cool. Despite his father’s relentless teasing, he had never made you feel uncomfortable. If he hadn’t been asking you out a few times, you’d consider him a friend, “Your otosan does love to joke around a lot doesn’t he, Megumi-kun?”
“I could deck him for you if you’d like, sensei. I swear that old man needs to realize that you’re way too young and good for him.” He mumbles the last part, clearly annoyed.
“Oh have you gotten married, L/N-sensei?” Maki cuts her younger cousin off suddenly, clearly surprised, “I thought you never had a boyfriend..or girlfriend...or a lover…”
“I- excuse me?” You sweatdrop, “Married, where?”
“Am I mistaken? You have a silver band on your ring finger at your left hand.” Maki points out, “Congrats sensei! It seems like Toji-ojisan won’t be bothering you anymore!”
You were too much in a frazzled state this morning that you hadn’t even noticed the ring band on your finger. You weren’t married, heck, you haven’t dated since college but where in the hell did you get this ring?
“L/N-san?” You’re snapped back to reality by a coworker, “We have two new enrollees, would you mind handling them since they’ll be added to your section?”
“Right,” You smile, “That’s my cue to leave. I’ll get going now. Enjoy your snack time.”
Before Maki could say anything more about the silverband on your ring finger, you scurried away to the faculty room, shaking that weird feeling off since you had to get back to work. 
Job first, ring later.
As you went in, two abnormally bleached pink hair stood out and you could immediately tell that they were going to be the new kids that you’d be teaching. You walk closer, realizing how much they looked alike despite the markings on the other.
“Hi, Good morning.” You greeted kindly, “You must be the new kids.”
“Ah,” the one with tattoo markings on his face gloated, “Aren’t you too bright?”
“Sukuna, shut up.” his twin frowned, “Sorry Sensei, My brother isn’t feeling so well since our ojisan had told us off before going to school.”
It seemed like the other twin would be a handful, nevertheless, you were still going to be his teacher so you let out a small smile, “It’s fine.” You waved off, “We all have bad days, don’t we? I’m L/N-sensei and I’ll be your homeroom and math teacher.”
“Hai.” The one without tattoos replied, enthusiasm leaking on his tone, “Itadori Yuuji and this is Itadori Sukuna, please take care of us.”
You watch Yuuji force his twin to bow down to show a sign of respect. For a high schooler, Sukuna and Yuuji’s parents seemed so lax, bleached hair and tattoos? That was definitely a first one on your list. You take a look at the data they passed and a small frown settles on your lips, it seemed like you had to take back the words you said earlier.
Both their parents had died a few years ago.
You cleared your throat and tried to put on the smile and enthusiasm from earlier, “I’ll be sure to introduce you to the class right after break and since it’s your first day I’ll be lax but please try not to go in late again.”
Yuuji’s grin remains the same as he agrees enthusiastically while Sukuna still looks mildly uninterested, something that you realize oh-so quickly that you’ll have to get used to.
After introducing the twins to the class, you settle on your desk at the faculty and peer at the ring on your finger. The only conclusion you could come up with was that this was from the older gentleman from the night before but why would he even give you a ring?
It didn’t even look cheap and it was surprisingly just your size, meaning it was definitely for you.
You inwardly let out a groan as you placed your hand on top of your eyes. God, you definitely needed to lay off the alcohol next time. You feel the phone in your pocket start to ring, peerlessly glancing at the unknown number. People really need to lay off the scam calls.
“Hello, I’m sorry I’m not-”
“Yo-ho, is this Y/N-chan?” The voice on the other line is so unfamiliar yet familiar at the same time.
“Uh, who is this?”
“Is your husband with you?” the voice sounds so playful and teasing that you almost ignore what he had just said earlier.
“E-Excuse me?” You sputtered out, cheeks turning red, “I don’t have a husband.”
“Huh…” the playful voice switches to disappointment, “Don’t tell me you forgot what happened with us last night, L/N-chan.”
You feel something bubbling on your stomach, oh no, this definitely didn’t sound good!
“I- wait, what? who are you? What do you mean? what happened?” countless of questions started to pile up in your head and out of your mouth, panic immediately engulfing you because for a prank call this guy sounded way too legit, confirming your irresponsibility the night before. 
“Silly Y/N-chan. How could you ever forget me? I’m such an important person! I’m Gojo Satoru, your witness from your wedding!”
