‧˚₊ Smitten to the stars (ch.2/3)

pairing: (adult) midoriya izuku/female reader summary: If merely having you in his life means enduring heartache and concealing his true feelings, then so be it. At least, that's Izuku's grand plan until life forces him into the one thing he dreads the most—confessing. word count: 6.5k chapter contains (check ao3 for all tags): slight emotional infidelity, alcohol, jealousy, possessiveness, a pinch of steaminess, power dynamics, love confession, angst (veering on the heavier side) • ao3 link ch. 1 a/n: written in Izuku's pov

Preview

“In case you didn’t notice, I like polka dots,” the woman in front of him said, pointing at the polka-dotted summer dress she wore. “What about you, Deku?”

Izuku smiled politely at her, unsure whether she was echoing his earlier request about telling him a random thing about herself, or was asking if he was into polka dots too. “Polka dots are great,” he settled on saying, turning his head to look for the waiter responsible for their table. He needed that glass of red wine if he were to go through with this.

The woman smiled brightly, her pearly white teeth glinting in the warm light of the expensive restaurant as she continued to stare at him, tracking his every movement. It was the first thing he noticed about her, not the reddish hair with split ends or the mascara clumping her lashes. She ogled him, confirmed by her bold comment about how his white denim jeans “hugged him so right.”

Years ago, this sort of comment would’ve been the right setup to end up having someone keeping his side of the bed warm for a night, or better said, sweaty. But not in the present time. No way. Izuku was too smitten with you. One mere mention of your name sent his heart into a frenzy of dizzying pitter-patter.

So what the hell was he doing here with a woman whose name he couldn’t even remember?

“Your freckles kinda look like tiny polka dots,” she said.

“I don’t think so.”

His swift retort caught her off guard for a moment, brown eyes widening a fraction before giving him a coy look.

“Then what do you think they look like?”

Find The Word Tag Game

Tagged by: @spacetimewraithwrites over here, thank you! My Words: soak, salt, sour, sing, sink, smile Tagging: @winterandwords, @thatprolificauthor, @zmwrites, @thegreatobsesso, @adie-dee, and anyone else who would like to join (As always, please don't feel pressured or rushed!) Your Words: Snack, Plaster, Real, Death, & Repeat

Soak(ing)

“I doubt that. You were targeted and injured in the line of duty for something you care about. They wouldn’t do that. I’m part of your team.” “The committee is over me. They call the shots. You don’t belong to me.” Ryker paused sharply, breath picking up, voice lowering and cracking faintly. He gave himself another moment before lifting watering eyes to Ives. “You know that, don’t you? You don’t belong to me.” Tears spilled down the sides of his face, soaking into gauze, running for his chin. Ives hesitated, unsure what to do but found it absolutely horrible. Seeing Ryker like this, battered and broken more than physically. Ives failed to find a word to describe it.

Salt

“With your help, there may be a chance we can find where that sector is. IV5’s software is replaceable, but his data is not.” “You mean him,” Ryker said but didn’t entirely know what he was trying to say. His brain? His personality? His soul? “Exactly. Him. He isn’t. But if we can find where he is, we can extract him from the virus. Separate the salt from the water, so to speak. Then we could easily wipe everything without endangering losing him. And I believe you can help us with that.” “You, uh, you do?”

Sour

“…I feel strange,” Beau admitted. “Not in the sense of malfunction or malicious coding. It’s…” he paused there, stare drifting away as if having to search for what he wanted to say. Ryker had seen it several times in people, struggling to describe what they experienced. Cognitive rummaging for pieces in order to share an entire picture. More common in people, short-lived in AI’s who had a global network of information in a synapse. Beau continued searching, face beginning to sour. Light of the screen shimmered in his eyes, moisture brimming and spilling to roll down his face. His eyes blew wide, hands shaking as he touched his cheeks discovering tears. Lines emerged in his skin, distressed seams of mechanical facets that structured his face; crescent ridges around eye sockets, the crest of his cheeks, outlining his mandible and chin. His irises darted about the room as if searching for a place to hide, mouth quivering with a whirring whine. Ryker slid off the couch, gently catching Beau by the arm before he could spring up. “It’s okay,” he promised, pulling him into a hug. “You’re okay.”

Sing(er)

Avoiding his glare, again, Beau scanned the lounge over. The music had changed from the live band to prerecorded filler, slower with fewer dancers. They held each other closer, more drifting side to side compared to the earlier scramble. Beau liked it better, the ethereal sound of guitar and drums, singer almost a whisper. Already knowing the answer, he turned back to Garnet. “Do you want to dance?” His glare popped with raised brows, cutting his sip short, “Wh-what? Dance? You wanna dance?” Beau nodded.

Sink(ing)

Garnet rushed him grabbing [Beau] by the front of his jacket, heaving him off balance, and slamming him to the ground. Beau’s HUD warned too late of equilibrium instability. “You don’t know shit about what happened. You weren’t there!” Garnet kept him pinned to the ground, crunching through weeds, sinking into soft dirt. Beau shoved a hand in Garnet’s face, pressing him away, fingers digging into his cheek. Garnet wrenched his face out of his grip, bringing a fist up and swinging for his head. Beau knocked it away with his new arm, wedging a foot on Garnet’s belly and shoving him off. “We weren't! But we are now and all we're trying to do is help, but you keep being an ass!” “Don’t pretend you even feel anything.” The swelling sensation began again, constricting in his chest and shoving him to his feet. Garnet scrambled up to meet him, swinging for his face, missing as Beau ducked. He tackled Garnet around the middle and charged. Garnet attempted to hold his ground, skating over the soft ground without traction. He grabbed Beau by his belt, throwing his weight and sending them both tumbling onto a grave. Beau swung, knocking him across the face, earning a yell.

Smile

Ryker couldn’t help but stare, obvious enough it made Beau pause. “You’re not riding with me?” “No,” Beau smiled, pocketing the keys, “Ives is.” Patting Ryker’s shoulder, he scampered out the door. “Shotgun!” “No, Jevito, shotgun is front passenger. You’re driving.” Garnet grumbled, pausing in the doorway when he noticed Ryker. He glanced at something down the hall before leaning in, “good to have you back, Boss.” “Thanks,” Ryker whispered, dazed in his thoughts. He couldn’t help but feel as if Ives being partnered with him was done on purpose. That this was Garnet’s work. Before he completely turned away from the door, Ryker called to him, “hey.” Garnet leaned back in the doorway. “Thank you.” “Eh, don’t worry about it,” he grinned, sipping at his tumbler. “You deserve it.” With a wink, he continued down the hall. “Alright, alright, jeez-o! I’m coming. You depend on caffeine in the mornings and see how gung-ho you are.”

i love your modern merthur art so i have to ask, what do you think Arthur’s favorite and least favorite thing about the 21st century would be if when he’s revived?

I think (once he gets used to it) Arthur would really appreciate technology and playing easier Nintendo games (especially if Merlin can play with (for) him)

I think he’d also like binging tv or movie series and comfy clothes (he lives in sweats) and taking very long, hot showers (figures)

As for his least favourite things I think he would occasionally get homesick, less as he grows accustomed to his new life but he would definitely miss his friends and the knights and Gwen.

:(

#that was a roller coaster of an ask sorry lads #why would you make me angsty take me back to Arthur breaking Merlin’s tv >:(((#but I also think Arthur would have a bit of ptsd and nightmares and whatnot #Merlin has to sit with him and calm him down #but Arthur does for Merlin too #actually I would like to change my answer #Arthur’s favourite thing about the 21st century is actually Merlin #:))#my art #ask #bbc merlin #merlin #merlin emrys #prince Arthur #Arthur pendragon #merthur

For science and fic research purposes 😏

#ethan peck #the holiday calendar #my gif #APRON!!!#his character was a roller coaster to watch #first sweet (albeit a bit irresponsible for putting the tree on the car like that - like that man has a daughter!)#and then they made him shallow and jerky because he was obviously not supposed to be the right guy for the female lead #while female lead and best friend were cute I was thinking the whole time...#it's Ethan! how can you not choose Ethan?!#i have a very detailed idea for a sequel to this movie centering on his character in my head #too bad there's no fandom for it

saw someone being wrong about kon on the internet again (i know. shocking) and you are all so lucky i'm sick and feverish and lazy because i DID just seriously entertain the thought of writing up a small essay complete with issue and panel citations about why it's simply incorrect to say that kon never really seemed to reciprocate any sort of crush on tim before geoff/tt03. this is just not true. you dont have to actually ship them but to downplay their importance to each other even in the earliest days is simply incorrect. i'm too tired and achy to bother digging through comics to pull up all the issues that have the bits i want to point at but like... they were both very mutually important to each other from early on. it was in no way shape or form one-sided, whether you want to read that as platonic or romantic. man.

#rimi talks #id rather put my limited energy towards the tender t4t timkonisms fic but in my heart this is a longass post #kon's sb94 alice in wonderland nightmare sequence. kon's entire Everything @ tim in issue 85.#the entire concept of robin kon?????? hello?????#the way they function as a unit so easily in yj98 even While actively bickering???#graduation day and judd winick explicitly saying he wanted them to come out of the closet [together]??#kon going out of his way to not only do bits just to annoy tim but also being protective of him at the same time?? (in yj98 again)#him wanting robin's number in wf3 (and then getting it sometime before rex leech roller coaster issue)??????#what are you fucking onnnnnnnnn #you dont have to read it as romantic if you dont want to but they were undeniably close and it was undeniably mutual. bro #i just um. i just think that if youre so internet poisoned to hate a ship that you have to deny the characters have mutual importance #to each other in the canon material (but you can't deny it from one side so you have to claim it's mostly one-sided and blame a writer)#then maybe you should um log off and reread canon ?#<- that's petty sorry but im just saying.#anyways.#returning to the timkon mines now. crawls back into my word doc

oh no I smoked too much weed and gave myself zoomies both from the excitement from my new peak pro and the excitement from the new weed itself and def smoked way more than I should have and probs will continue to smoke more than I should because of this double dose of excitement until I finally just pass out after days of hardly sleeping recently lmao

but ANYWAYS before that happens !!! I currently have the strongest urge to go wreck people in fucking battlegrounds to level one of my assorted disc priests and because like …. ever since I got 100k honorable kills achieve, I’ve wanted that goddamn fucking ‘the Bloodthirsty’ title from the 250k honorable kills achieve and I was farming that before I stopped having the drive to game a few months back.

so let’s see how queues go at 2am on a fucking Wednesday morning, I wonder if I’ll give up before I find a bracket with fast pvp queues tonight tbh. it’s more likely I’ll end up pugging a raid on my mistweaver main if it takes too long to get into a battleground just to preoccupy myself for a bit and try to get a chance at trinkets and shit lmao

#this is huge tho I haven’t WANTED to game enough to drag my laptop out and play in MONTHS #I logged in for the first time in ages the other day and I had so much fun in my battlegrounds I didn’t even realize we were winning #I was just having a fucking blast being a healer and a menace because I’m playing a disc priest rn of course lmao #and now I want to game again so bad but like mindlessly and bgs are mindless to me I guess???#like they’re so easy and all muscle memory and hardly take any thought so I think I could function enough to fuck some people up for a bit #or raiding Amirdrassil on LFR or normal. also pretty mindless even when pugging groups and all that.#everything’s usually one shot one kill or like 2 shots per kill max because people learn from their mistakes !!!#but like as a healer I know my shit so it’s just mindless (except for Larodar ((MY BELOVED)) because I LOVE that fight and get super into it #his dialogue is just too fuckin good and the voice??? truly chefs kiss like perfect voice casting #almost as fantastic as Sire Denathrius tbh and that’s like the big vocally satisfying one for me LMAO #this tag rant went on a wild roller coaster what the fuck I am so sorry for anyone who read these #I’m trying to read them back and I can’t even understand my fucking thought process LMFAO

#sanji #kuroashi no sanji #sanji one piece #charlotte pudding #wci is a true emotional roller-coaster #one piece #mine #viola was also a lil bit crazy when they met ngl
