[bowandcurtsey]

Hiii! I love ur writing! If u can could u pls write a Yami x reader where she’s pregnant and they already have a little girl and it’s just some cute domestic family fluff around the black bull’s hideout? Thanks!✨

It’s our first offical ask ;-; Did I read that right you love my writing? T-T feeling so blessed

More Yami Danjou FLUFF here we go~

word count: 1260

“DAA DAA” d/n cried out and ran full speed at your husband as he came home from a mission one evening.

“HEY PRINCESS” he swoops her up and throws her in the air “you missed daddy?” He catches her and peppers her with kisses and she giggles. “More dada!” She flug her arms in the air.

“Alright now sugar, Daddy must be real tired from work” you came down the stairs smiling at your husband.

With his other free arm, he grabs your waist and pulls you close to him and plants a kiss on your lips. “Hey, Missed you”

“DANJOUUUUUU ! You’re back!!” The rest of the gang shouts as their beloved captain is back. They come running to him too, asking him all sorts of questions at once.

“HOW WAS YOUR MISSION” Asta shouted

“Are you free now?! Let’s spar !” Chimed luck

“Have some food , you must be hungry la!” Charmy offers some drumstick

“QUIET DOWN ALL OF YOU!!” The captain shouts. “Jeez, how many times have I said: to not talk all at once?”

“No shouting Dada!” D/n puts her hand on Yami’s face.

All of you burst into laughter at her innocent actions. “Really sorry Princess but daddy’s gotta discipline the naughty kids”

“Let’s all have dinner together now~” you said. “It’s getting late”

~~~~~~~~

After tucking d/n to bed, Yami came back to your shared room and envelopes you in his stong arms. You put your hand around his neck and gave him a long deep kiss. “Missed you too love” replying to him from earlier on.

“Mmm, might need more than a kiss,” he smirks and carries you to bed.

“Oh wait baby, I have something for you” you crawled over to the other side of the bed to where the nightstand was, pulled open a drawer and grabbed a box out. You passed it to him and beamed.

“A gift? For me? What’s the occasion baby?” He was genuinely surprised. He lighted his ciggarette and opened the box.

He stared at the pregnancy kit for a good 5 seconds before coming to his senses. “Oh shit” he stubbed out his cigg in an instant. You laughed. When Yami knew that you were pregnant with d/n, he never smoked anywhere near you, even when you went on dates together, he would go the entire day without his cigarettes. You were really surprised and touched that he could go to such a mile for your child. You would sometimes joke to him about him “surpassing his limits” of a heavy chain smoker.

“Number 2? For real? After 2 years?” He climbed into bed and carried you carefully onto his lap. He looked at you and smiled. “I’m sorry you waited so long for me while I was out on a mission princess, how old is our little mini now?” you blushed a little at your old pet name he used to call you before d/n was born.

You shaked your head. “4 weeks but I only found out last week. Are you happy Yami?” You beamed at him “another mini us, hehe” you gave him a peck on his cheeks.

“Happy?” He kissed your forehead “I’m over the moon baby! I hope you have twins , or even better, triplets! We had a good round a month ago!” He winked at you and you punched him in the chest playfully. “I need to announce this first thing tomorrow so the kids will be more careful around ya!”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Throughout the months that you were pregnant you were treated like royalty by the entire squad. You did not a single household chores, and charmy always made sure you ate well and nutritious food.

Even d/n was excited although she couldn’t really grasps what was really going on. She somehow understood that she was going to have another little playmate in the house.

“I’LL CARRY THAT FOR YOU Y/N!” Asta will shout whenever you pick up anything in the house “lifting heavy objects is not good for the baby!!”

“It’s Okay Asta.. it’s just a carton of milk..” you smiled at this boy. Honestly he was such a helpful boy all the time.

“Y-Y/N!” Grey covers her eyes “B-be CC-careful when Y-yyou h-head up the s-s-stairs!!!” She’ll panic over small details and sometimes turn everything in the house to cotton so you don’t “hurt yourself”

“Y/n” Noelle comes into your room one day, “I asked my maidens back at the Silva house and they recommended this bird nest for pregnant ladies, don’t forget to eat it”

At just 4 months pregnant Vanessa’s made TONS of baby clothes. (TONS IM TELLING YA.) “aww, can’t wait to see if this lil one looks more like danjou or you y/n~”

The squad would always take turns to babysit d/n so you could get AMPLE rest time and if you ever wanted to bring d/n out, someone always accompanied you. YOU WERE NEVER LEFT ALONE unless you were resting because “if anything happens to y/n or d/n while I’m not around I’ll kill all of you” the captain always reminds them before he left for work.

You sometimes sigh at how overly dramatic the squad is, but you found it all endearing in your heart.

Even people from the magic knights knows about your pregnancy (bc your husband is proud and loud AF and he has no shame)

Julius and William would pay a visit one day bringing all sorts of gifts “ohhh~ I wonder whether it’s a boy or a girl~ will he look like Yami~ I wonder what magic would this one have~” the king would look at you with sparkles in his eyes.

“Would you calm down sir, even d/n can’t use magic yet!!” Marx has to shut him up.

“I’m sure they would be lovely just as d/n is” William would comment. (Of course d/n’s favourite uncle is Uncle William)

Of course, your husband was the most excited of them all, although he doesn’t express it much, but you could tell bc every time he had the chance, he’d rub your growing belly.

His favourite time of the day would be taking a stroll after work with d/n in his arms and him holding your hand. “You’ll always be daddy’s first princess” he’d tell d/n all the time, making sure she doesn’t feel insecure that the new baby will snatch the attention away from her (she’s actually enjoying all the extra playtime all the uncle and aunts at the base are giving her while you’re resting)

Cuddle sessions before bedtime becomes a must so he could “keep track of the baby growing process”

He would give you a massage every now and then when you’re feeling sore, even though he’s tired after all his work.

Would jokingly tell you to “surpass your limits” when you get tired to get up sometimes. One death glare is all it takes and he’ll come carrying you.

“I love you y/n. Thank you for giving me another mini us and I promise to protect and take care of all of you. ” he whispered to you one night while you were lying in his arms

“I love you too Yami, you know I’m always blessed to have you and thankful that it’s you. Please always be safe and remember you have an extra person waiting for you to come home now” you rubbed your baby bump.

“Yes, my queen”

-END-

I HOPE YOU LIKE THIS ~

I know Yami danjou is a rough and tough man that doesn’t really show his affection much but I can’t help but think that he’d change so much after becoming a father :3 i’d imagine him to be a real giant teddy around his daughter and a softie to his pregnant wife.

HAPPY GRUVIA WEEEEEEEK!!!:))

so i cant promise that ill post something for EVERYDAY but i will do what i can:)

i hope u all have an amazing, gruvia filled week:) enjoy babies!!!

also ok u know what so maybe i did write a story literally exactly like this for gruvia week last yr...... mind ur business lmao

gruvia week day 1: home

*

Juvia was practically running from the train station.

This was the longest mission she had gone on in years, and while she did love to get out and go on jobs, especially with Gajeel, she was itching to get home at this point.

Two weeks without her family was driving her borderline insane, and she was ready to hug and kiss everyone to her heart’s content. She looked up at the sky and noticed it was just about dusk. At the sight of the day almost ending, she picked up her pace a little bit. If she could just speed up a bit, she could probably make it home in time to still make dinner.

In a few more short moments, she stood at the door of her house. She stepped in the doorway and breathed in ready to shout a booming “I’m home!”, but she was interrupted by a commotion that seemed to be coming from the kitchen.

From where she stood, all she could hear was the muffled radio playing music, kids screaming with giggles, and some food sizzling. She was met with the smell of delicious, but maybe slightly burnt, food.

She placed her bag down beside her, and slowly but curiously made her way to the noise. Before she inserted herself just yet, she was wondering just what was going on.

“Storm! Why did you take your brother out of his bouncer!?”!She heard Gray shout, and it was quickly followed by two very familiar giggles.

“Kai’s one year old now, dad! He wants to run around not bounce!” Storm’s voice was mildly breaking with laughter.

Juvia finally got to the point where she could peak around the corner into the kitchen, and luckily she still had yet to be noticed.

Storm was holding the wiggly baby, but was clearly struggling, seeing as Kai certainly did not want to be held. Neva was right by her big brother’s side, giggling along with him. Gray, however, did not look as amused. He was looking back and forth from over his shoulder at the kids, to the many pans full of food he had cooking in front of him on the stove.

“Ok, well, I don’t really want him running around right now. I’m trying to focus on dinner.” Gray tried to calmly explained, but Juvia could tell he was breaking a sweat.

“But if we put him back in, he’ll cry!” Neva explained back. Her curly black pigtails bounced as she excitedly explained herself.

And as if it was on cue, Kai began screaming as tears ran down his red face. Gray instantly threw down the spatula in his hand and bent down to scoop up Kai out of Storm’s arms. He turned right back around, and continued stirring with the food while he bounced a screaming baby on his side.

“Daddy, you’re making my mac and cheese right?” Neva tugged at the apron her father wore.

“Yes, Nev, I’m making your mac n cheese.” He sighed, not appreciating the nagging child.

“Yay!” She cheered.

“But you do have to eat some veggies.” He reluctantly followed up with.

The gasp of betrayal that escaped Neva’s mouth almost made Juvia blow her cover with laughter.

“Veggies?! I hate veggies!” Neva stomped.

“Storm, can you please explain to your sister why we need to eat our veggies.” Gray replied. He didn’t feel like taking the time to explain the pros of vegetables.

“Uhhh, ok.” Storm replied, unsure. He paused and scratched his dark blue waves in the back of his head “Well I don’t like vegetables all that much either. I kinda’ think Mom and Dad just do it to be bossy.” Storm shurugged.

Neva’s deep blue eyes widened with horror.

“Storm!” Gray exclaimed. He should have known a nine year old reasoning with a four year old just simply wouldn’t work. The boom of his voice upset little Kai all over again, and he continued his screaming.

“Oh shit-! I mean- shoot!” Gray spat, and put down the spatula again, this time paying more attention to Kai, and shushing him as he swayed back and forth.

“Ok, Mommy thinks it’s time to step in.” Juvia calmly walked in the kitchen and was met with four surprised faces.

“Mommy!” Storm and Neva ran at her with full speed. She just had enough time to squat down and welcome their impact.

“Oof!” Juvia grunted as her kids slammed themsleves into her, wrapping their little arms around her. “Hello my babies!” Juvia regained her footing and wrapped her arms around them, kissing their heads.

“How was it?! Did you and uncle Gajeel kick butt?! Did you use your water stuff!?” Storm spat questions at her, just as he did every time she or Gray got back from a mission.

“Yes, baby.” Juvia used her hand to push the bangs from Storm’s eyes. “Mommy and Uncle Gajeel did great.”

“Mommy, Mommy, Daddy’s gonna’ make me eat veggies!” Neva cried out for help, planning on Juvia to rescue her from the vegetables.

“He is?!” Juvia pretended to gasp, and she looked up at Gray, who gave a defeated smirk.

She stood back up. “Speaking of food, it smells delicious.” She walked towards Gray, and gave him a big hug as he still held the baby in his hands. Juvia took her hands and squished Gray’s face, planting a big kiss on his cheek, earning a grunt from Gray.

“Oi! Do you really gotta’ squeeze my face like that?” Gray twisted his face free from her hands.

“But Juvia hasn’t been able to squish Gray-sama’s sweet face for so long!” She whined.

She averted her attention down Kai. “And speaking of squishing sweet faces,” She took him from Gray’s arms.

“Hello, my love!” Juvia doted, and Kai smiled at the sight of Juvia’s happy face. She brought his chubby cheeks to her lips and kissed him a bunch, making the baby giggle.

Gray went back to fiddle with the food one more time before he turned off the stover. “Ya know, it’s a lot easier to cook around here when I have you to distract these demons.” Gray sighed, and leaned up against the counter.

“Demons?!” Juvia laughed. “Juvia’s babies are angels.” She continued to sway Kai in her arms.

“Are we talking about the same babies?” Gray playfully raised a brow.

Neva and Storm both laughed, feeling accomplished at annoying their father.

“Yeah, laugh it up.” Gray chuckled back at them.

Juvia sniffed. “Is Gray-sama cooking salmon?”

“At this point, I think I’m burning salmon.” At Juvia’s reminder, he took an oven mit and opened up the oven, taking out steaming salmon.

“It looks great!” Juvia smiled. She missed Gray’s cooking. “Salmon’s Juvia’s favorite.”

“I know. I made asparagus and rice, too.” Juvia looked at the stovetop and sure enough, they were all there.

“And mac n cheese for me!” Neva cheered, raising up her hand.

“You’re gonna try the asparagus, too.” Gray daunted.

“A-spar-gus?” Neva sounded out the word, not being quite sure exactly what it was.

“It’s the nasty vegetable Dad’s gonna’ make us eat.” Storm explained.

“Alright. That’s it you two. Now that my hands are free I can finally kick your butts!” A playful smirk appeared on Gray’s face before he ran at the kids, scooping them up in his arms and slinging them over his shoulders. The two shrieked with giggles as they kicked, trying to free themselves from Gray’s grasp. “One more word and I drop you two square on your heads!” He teased.

Storm and Neva continued to laugh as Gray shook them around a bit. Juvia admired the smiling faces from afar. When they all smiled so hard like that, they all looked the same. It seemed to be contagious, because Juvia felt herself grinning right back at them. Even little Kai was bubbling with laughter, and Juvia couldn’t help the tears that welled up in her eyes at this beautiful feeling.

“Alright, everyone!” Juvia caught everyone’s attention. “Why don’t we eat the yummy dinner Daddy made before it gets cold?” Gray, Storm, and Neva nodded in agreement.

Juvia wasn’t sure if she could put a finger on exactly what this feeling was, but if she had to, she would use one word.

This was home.

BNHA AU Ideas : Happy Famlies

Also on AO3!

TL;DR: This AU is exactly what is sounds like. Everyone gets a happy family. 

Feat. Dadmight, and his sons Izuku and Tenko, Big Bro Dabi with his little bro, Shinson and his Dadzawa.

allmight n inko end up dating and tenko n izu are brothers

dabi and tenko are third year ua herocourse students when izu and the others join

tenko is a soft sunshine boy cause izu rubbed off on him a lot

dabi wants to be an underground hero so he'll never be like his father

todoroki takes the entrance exam so inasa and hitoshi are recommendation students

izuku kills the exam because he starts ua being able to use full cowl 5%, breaking allmights record with a whopping 130 points

because consider dabi, shouto, izu, tenko and hitoshi all singing karaoke together, dabi has a tambourine and tenko is violently shaking maracas

izuku and inko dont know toshi is allmight, but tenko and toshi are terrible liars

the first time toshi meets izuku its just tenko presenting him saying "you gotta give it to him dad"

izu is only 5 n still broken up about having no quirk, toshi says he might just be a late bloomer while tenko nods

toshi sneaks izuku his quirk when he turns 7, izuku wakes up n accidentally punches a hole in the ceiling, he n katsuki make up cause izuku has a bomb ass quirk even if it does break his bones

he and inko just think he was a late bloomer cause his quirk was so strong. tenko and toshi highfive

seven year old izuku walking back into his house like mom i broke both my arms again :(((

katsuki actually helps him work out the flick thing

"it breaks my arms!" "then use less you dumb fuck!" "oh yeah actually thank you"

they’re so used to shouting criticisms while sparring that they still do it after they enter ua

when they spar at the sports festival mic can’t get a word of commentary in bc it’s just a constant slew of

“kACCHAN I TOLD U TO STOP LEADING WITH UR RIGHT”

“SHIITY DEKU IF U LAND LIKE THAT UR GONNA BREAK UR LEGS”

dabi n tenko the third years can hear them in their own stadium. tenko is cheering softly, dabi has a heart attack when he sees the walls of ice

izu has a massive handshapped scar on his wrist from when tenko saved him by pulling him out of the way of a car

he doesnt mind it but it makes tenko sad so he wears a lil cuff over it

tenko snuck in to watch the entrance exam he n toshinori are cheering quietly, the other teachers just sigh

izuku broke allmights record for points scored in the entrance exam but hes still scared he failed

tenko wants to s c r e a m

USJ ANGST TIME

starts as normal students enter, villains arrive kurogiri has an ear piece and is talking with afo directly, some of the 8 prefects goons are there too

hitoshi used his quirk on kurogiri to find out who they are, but is targeted after that and the villains know not to respond

the students are scattered, its izu/tsuyu and hitoshi. they do the whirlpool thing w/o the sitcking, hitoshi instructs them to tread water and not to move

hitoshi is nearing quirk overuse, tsuyu is shaken, izu is pretty much ok

aizawa is fighting the villains as normal, the nomu arrives

hitoshi tries to mind control the nomu, kurogiri attempts to direct one of the nomus punches to hitoshi, aizawa cancels the portal, severing one of the nomus arms. its grows back, aizawa is beaten

izuku charges forward, fighting the nomu with a higher percentage of full cowl than he can safely use but they are evenly matched

todoroki shows up, cant help because the two are moving so fast he cant aim his quirk and not hit mido

he and hitoshi keep kurogiri busy

before allmight arrives, dabi and tenko do, after seeing tenya running towards the school

izuku can barely move, over using his quirk to the point that he has countless micro fractures and the nomu has landed a few punches, and he took others to protect aizawa

tenko yells at dabi to grab izuku, kurogiri mentions that his master killed tenkos family and hes pissed

he cant stand up to the nomu but shouto makes an opening and he and dabi try to damage it as best they can, shouto has to hold izuku down to stop him from joining the fight again

allmight arrives, quickly dispatches the nomu, turns on Kurogiri

so tenko, allmight and a shaky izu are all facing down kurogiri while afo is trying to convince him to keep fighting

reinforcements arrive and kuro nopes out

as soon as the portal closes, izuku collapses and tenko n allmight rush over, shouto is grabbing onto dabi and hitoshi is trying to get aizawa to respond

hitoshi, crying, has to ask dabi to pick up his dad because his arms are shaking to bad hes scared he might drop him

tenko has no gloves anymore and he cant touch izuku and hes just lost, shouto wraps an arm around him and hitoshi n they cry as dabi takes aizawa and allmight takes izuku to recovery girl

aizawa n izu in the same hospital, hitoshi tells him what izuku did n aizawa fucking, breaks out of bed like a jackass to call him a problem child then fucking limps back

less depressingly, happy families dabi and tenko do "get help" from Thor Ragnarok

"gET heLP hEs BUrnINg UP"

aizawa : "kids that movie is like 240 years old"

izuku : "so... you know it then?"

aizawa: "fuck"

nighteye and gran torino are izuku and tenko's terrible uncles

he stars school at 5%, internships is 10%, camp gets him up to 15% so hes around 25% at the eri rescue

ochako being a terrible influence on kirishima

“uraraka i like katsuki. what do”

“push it down”

“what”

“pUSH UR FEELINGS Down”

also happy families shouto actually interns w nighteye n izu because dabi said he was an ass so no death thanks

one person asks izuku what his quirk is

he pauses

"aaaaaaaaaa"

"hm"

"my mum has minor levitation and my dad is quirkless"

izuku pauses again.

"wait"

"wait im not toshis biologically"

"waiT Who WAs My FirST Dad?"

shouto thinks inko has an affair w allmight then married his secretary but izuku met toshinori through tenko so he just lays down on the floor and screams

shouto’s brain is going to explode one day

consider tenko and izuku looking soft and pure but you turn around and suddenly you dont have a wallet and your food is gone

happy family izuku and kastuki were eachothers first kiss but in a dumb ass way

izuku was like "i need to ruin my frist kiss so the next one will be better"

"wow me too, you seem like the worlds worst option!"

"cool!"

they both almost gagged afterwards

tenko walked in on them violently scrubbing their lips

“wow katsuki who was ur first kiss”

bakugou stares off fondly into the distance

“deku :))”

"it was fucking terrible" wistful sigh

izuku, blushing happily: “id never do it again”

izuku: "yeah i scrubbed my face until it bleed so none of my skin would be tainted"

first week of 1a, someone asking izuku if he and katsuki are/were dating so izuku asks ochako to launch him into the sun

no matter how many people they date everyone always insists that katsuki and izuku are dating each other

izuku is actually dating shouto but no one believes him for some reason

dabi and hitoshi find it so funny

please consider dabi being the frontrunner of these rumours, like these random first years will come up to izuku while he’s eating lunch with shouto and they’ll be in t e a r s

“wHY ARE YOU CHEATING ON BAKUGOU SENPAI?”

izuku starts crying

shouto, totally deadpan: "i thought our love was real, izu-chan"

izuku wheezes

they have a katsudeku fan club and shouto’s the mascot

dabi is in it. hes a full hero at this point but nezu gave him a pass so he could attend

they have weekly meetings

it’s dabi, shouto, kirishima and like twenty first year girls from every class

shouto, in a deadpan voice: “good morning girls today i saw katsuki and izuku sharing bread. discuss”

kirishima is one of the most popular fanartists

tenko loves the meme but looking at his brother and bakugo “dating” makes him deeply upset so he breaks in to decay all the art on the walls once a week

he crowds shouto in tears one day

“how are you okay with your boyfriend and your classmate being the subjects of such horrid art”

shouto, deadpan: “it’s just a prank bro”

izuku falls asleep in the common room and toshi carries him back to his room and has to call tenko to unlock the door for him. tenko was in his own dorm on the other side of school.

he sprinted

iida the good boy finishes his essays the week before and hands them in a day early

izuku, the hot mess, procrastinates by training until he cant feel his arms and doing any other subject work than the stuff due, stays up till 4am to finish his essay and doesnt go back to sleep cause its time for his morning run

they get the same grades

no one knows izuku is a hot mess

Dabi is like izuku but he doesnt study hes just depressed

Tenko finishes his the day before but he gets izuku to read it over

shouto does his essays in class

aizawa wants to be mad but he remembers him mic n tensei distracting the teachers for as long as they can to violently finish their essays

“katsuki why didn’t you finish your essay”

“i was making oreos from scratch sensei”

"fair, give me some and you can hand in it wednesday"

he bribes every single teacher into giving him extensions and no one can refuse him bc his extra spicy curry is to die for. he maybe sometimes he helps deku get an extension too but if he does that’s no one else’s business but his

izuku acts so soft w the others "oh isnt kacchans food so good? "

but he climbs into through katsukis window

"bitch whats the recipe"

izuku banging on katsuki s window at five in the morning: “kacchan give me ur fucking curry recipe you promised it to me three years ago”

bakugos hands shake as he tries to call aizawa

“i see u calling sensei kacchan, put the phone down and no one gets hurt”

he has one of katsukis limited editing all might figurines in his hand

“give me the recipe and all might lives katsuki. it doesn’t have to end this way”

shouji, stressed and sleep deprived walks into bakugou’s room just to see izuku menacingly trying to force his way in while bakugou is crying

A Happy Future

Happy birthday to our favorite broccoli boi! Take this fic with you on your quest :)

__________

"Momm!" Izuku groaned, his face red from embarrassment as his friends huddled around Inko in the dorm living room. "Stop showing them those pictures! It's embarrassing!"

He was ignored though, as his mother pointed out another baby picture from the photo album she brought along. "And this was the time Izuku made his first drawing! It was such a mess and it took a long time to clean up," Inko said with a soft smile.

The picture had a young Izuku, maybe four or three, surrounded by colour pencils with his tongue stuck out as he drew something with the utmost concentration a child could muster. There were other loose papers scattered about, some crumpled and others torn.

"Aww! Baby Izuku is soooo cute!!" Uraraka exclaimed, gushing about the small Izuku with the other girls.

"You haven't even seen the bathing pictures yet! Now those are the definition of cute," Inko added with a teasing tone.

"Mom no!" Izuku shouted, his face red with shame. "I'm going to train!" He yelled as he speed-walked away from them and towards the elevator.

"By the way dud-," Kirishima appeared next to Izuku, receiving a screech of surprise from the green-haired boy.

"Ow ow ow! My poor eardrums," Kirishima muttered, covering his ears. "Guess I deserve it though, for scaring you."

"Ah! I'm sorry, Kirishima! Y-yeah, I guess you did surprise me but sorry for hurting your ears!"

"Don't sweat it dude!" Kirishima gave a thumbs up and grinned. Izuku smiled awkwardly. They both entered the elevator and Izuku pressed a button.

"Anyways, you were going to ask me something?"

"Oh yeah! I was going to ask why your mom's here. It just seems a bit odd."

Izuku shrugged, pursing his lips. "I'm not sure either. She got permission from Aizawa-sensei though. It might be something important like a meeting?"

Kirishima nodded. The elevator chimed as they reached the ground floor. "Oh, I see. Though, I gotta ask, I wonder how a meeting means bringing a photo album of your baby pictures to show off to your friends?" Kirishima smirked.

Izuku sighed. "Don't remind me, please." Kirishima laughed. Izuku playfully glared at the red-haired boy. "You're just enjoying my suffering, aren't you?"

"Well I mean, should I not?" Kirishima put his arm around Izuku's shoulder as they headed toward one of the UA training facilities. Izuku fake-scowled and Kirishima laughed loudly. The two boys continued to laugh and joke around as they entered the facility. 

A distant FUCKING DIE could be heard followed by a series of explosions and a high-pitched scream and zapping sounds.

"Looks like Kaminari and Kacchan are at it," Izuku muttered. Kirishima nodded, wincing slightly when seeing Kaminari's clothes burnt in some areas.

"Midoriya-kun! Kirishima-kun! How nice of you two to join us!" Iida's voice grew louder as he zoomed closer with his quirk before coming to a halt right in front of them.

"Yo, Iida! Speeding around as usual, I see," Kirishima greeted. Izuku simply gave a hello.

"But of course, Kirishima-kun! I must keep in shape in order to use my quirk to the best of my abilities!" Iida said while hand-chopping the air.

As Kirishima and Iida conversed, Izuku headed towards the changing rooms to put on some sportswear. After that, he immediately began stretching and doing some laps. He was soon joined by Iida and Kirishima (and it somehow became a race, Izuku's not sure how. Iida won though).

He practiced his quirk for a while and sparred with a Class B student who was also there. He spent roughly two hours training with breaks in between.

Back in the changing room, he wiped the sweat off his face, making small talk with Iida.

"By the way, Midoriya-kun," Iida started, as he drank orange juice from the juice box. "I'm heading to the mall afterwards to buy some new shoes and tailored pants. Uraraka-san and Todoroki-kun already agreed to come with. Would you like to join?"

Izuku paused for a second. Well, he had nothing else to do for the rest of the day, so maybe it'll be alright? Though he can't help but feel as though he forgot something. It's probably nothing, though.

"Sure, Iida. Plus it's a good way to kill time, and I could probably also buy some new shirts as well, a lot of people had been saying I need more variety of clothes, and I don't want to bother mom since she's with the others, and maybe I could buy lunch there? But I have to be careful not to break my diet and-" Izuku's voice grew softer as he began mumbling.

"That's great then!" Iida interrupted, far too used to this happening. "We shall leave in the next twenty minutes or so! Make sure to be on time!" And with that, Iida left.

"Are you sure, Midoriya?"

"Yes, I'm sure Todoroki! I would know if All Might was my dad!"

Todoroki gave him a blank, yet a determined look. "You do know I can make a list of every reason why you two are father and son AND as to why you didn't know."

Izuku groaned and laughed. "What's with you and conspiracy theories, Todoroki?"

"It's not a conspiracy theory if it's the truth, now is it?"

The two continued to bicker as they waited for their meals to arrive.

The Dekusquad ("Uraraka we are not calling this the Dekusquad-" "We are and you can't change my mind!") had arrived at the large mall. Even though Iida took charge, there were a few setbacks.

From distractions of silly action figures and merchandise ("they're not silly they're genuine All Might products, Iida! Plus, they're 20% off today!" "Midoriya-kun, PLEASE.") to minor fire hazards ("Todoroki, you can't burn a building just 'cause they're selling Endeavor merchandise!" "I beg to differ, Uraraka.") It was certainly a hectic time.

Iida and Uraraka said they had to buy a few more things by themselves. Iida quickly assigned the remaining two to order food for them for the time being. Which leads to now. While waiting for the ordered meals, Todoroki decided to share his lovely theories of his classmates.

"I'm just saying, Midoriya, Aizawa-sensei seems awfully interested in training Shinsou. Not to mention the similar sleeping patterns. Coincidence? I don't think so."

"Oh my god, Todoroki," Izuku huffed, smiling slightly. "Now you're dragging our teacher into this. What's next? Uraraka is an alien from outer-space trying to blend in as a human?"

"It's completely possible and we both know it."

Izuku laughed. "Why do you… sound so serious… saying.. that?!" Izuku wheezed through breaths. Todoroki shrugged.

"We're baccck~!" Uraraka called in a singsong voice. She skipped towards the two with Iida following right after. Uraraka slid into the seat next to Izuku, and Iida by Todoroki. She had a different plain bag with her (as did Iida) filled with something. Izuku tried to peek in the bag.

Gift wrapping?? What was Uraraka going to use that for? Perhaps she has a relative whose birthday is coming up.

The feeling of forgetfulness returned, but Izuku still wasn't sure what he had forgotten.

However, he cast that aside as he was served a bowl of hot and delicious katsudon. Todoroki slurped his cold soba with a passion, and Iida had beef stew (Uraraka also settled for this as well).

The four conversed as they ate, with Iida's input every now and then of No speaking while chewing!

Izuku checked the time on his phone. The four had finished and paid for their meals and were now wandering the mall for the time being.

"Ah, it's 5:30pm. Maybe we should head back?" Izuku suggested. A flash of panic seem to pass through the other three. How odd.

"Y-yeah Deku! But there's one more thing I want us to do before we go back to the dorms!" Uraraka stuttered. 

"O… okay?" Izuku responded, a bit confused.

"B-but let's pass by UA first! So we can drop off our stuff! I'll text Tsuyu-chan to meet us there!" Uraraka added, pulling out her phone. She seemed to send a quick message.

"I still don't understand but… okay?" 

"Great! Let's go!"

*****

"-and they were roommates!" Uraraka said dramatically.

"Oh my god, they were roommates!" Iida gasped.

Laughter passed through the group as they all walked side by side to UA's entrance. Tsuyu and Sero waved to them.

"Yo dudes! Had fun at the mall?" Sero asked as they got closer.

Izuku nodded, smiling from ear to ear. "It really was! I kinda wished we have more days like these." Sero's smile widened a bit.

The Dekusquad then gave all their bags to Sero and Tsuyu. They chatted a bit with the two before the tapeman and frog-humanoid went back to the dorms.

"So," Todoroki drawled, "where are we heading next, Uraraka?"

Uraraka gave Todoroki a slight look of betrayal. "U-um, well you see…" Uraraka smiled awkwardly and fidgeted. "I was hoping we could, uh, visit t-the, um, the beach??"

 Izuku raised an eyebrow at her. 

"I was hoping we could s-see the sunset! Yeah!" She said nervously.

Iida snorted and covered it up with a cough. Uraraka glared at him. Todoroki simply observed. 

"Sounds cool to me," Todoroki finally added. Iida nodded with approval and Izuku grinned and gave a thumbs up.

Uraraka beamed. "Then let's hurry before it starts to get dark!"

She marched on ahead and the others followed.

"I know a really good beach! It used to be a dump but someone cleaned it up! It's really beautiful!" 

Izuku swelled up with pride. Had he not been in front of his friends, he would've cried, knowing people appreciated what he did.

Iida hummed. "Are you speaking of Dagobah Municipal Beach? It is indeed beautiful. I've seen it when passing by."

"I haven't seen it," Todoroki spoke up. "I didn't really used to go out a lot so I guess I wouldn't know."

"Well, I've been there many times, since my home was close by," Izuku joined. "I still go there. It's relaxing."

The four continue to chat as they approached the beach. Just in time too.

The water glistened, reflecting the rays of the sun. The sky seemed to burst in an array of colours of orange and pink and blue and red, extending past the horizon. The illusion of the sun moving downwards into the sea that was ready to swallow it whole was like a beautiful display of artwork. The sky then flickered into darkness.

"Woah.." Todoroki muttered, gaping. Uraraka grinned widely.

Izuku smiled slightly. "It's one of those things you won't really see anywhere else."

"Very impressive, indeed," Iida said, adjusting his glasses.

The four stood in silence as the last remaining colours drained from the sky. They spoke softly with each other as they returned back to UA. Iida sent a text on the group chat that they were returning.

As they approached the dorms, Todoroki sighed. "I really can't believe you forgot, Midoriya."

Izuku blanched. "So I was forgetting something..?"

Todoroki nodded and Uraraka huffed. 

So now Izuku was worried. Was it something important? But then why did they wait to the end of the day? Maybe they were expecting him to remember but he didn't for a whole day. Oh god, were they angry at him? Maybe he should apologize? But then that might make it worse and they might get angrier and it could all go so wrong-

"SURPRISE!!" 

Izuku shrieked. Had he walked in without realizing? 

The room was colourfully decorated with streamers and balloons. Izuku looked around questionly. The feeling of forgetfulness returned.

His mother walked up to him with a watery smile. "Happy Birthday, Izuku."

And then it clicked.

"How did I manage to forget my own BIRTHDAY??!!!"

Iida shrugged, shifting his glasses. "While it certainly helpful for us to plan this party, it was a bit hilarious seeing you trying to piece things together sometimes."

Izuku sighed. "Still, how does one forget their own birthday! The signs were there!"

"Plot convenience?" Kaminari suggested, to which Sero hushed him, as if it was a big secret.

Ashido joined in. "Well, that was then! This is NOW! And I believe it's time to PAR-TAY!!" She whooped.

"Until 10 minutes before curfew hours of course, so we can clean up," Iida added. It was questionable to say whether the rest heard, as they had joined Ashido in whooping.

Izuku was dragged about the dorms but has the time of his life. From playing board games ("I am never playing Monopoly ever again.") To the classic truth or dare ( Izuku was having a major conflict. He was dared to kiss the cutest person in the room but he couldn't decide because everyone was cute!) There never seemed to be a dull moment.

Izuku sat on the ground, watching with amusement as his friends played the hell-spawned game: Twister.

"Left foot, blue," he said, a chuckle following as he watched Mineta completely and utterly struggle, while yelling I'M AT A DISADVANTAGE HERE (the small boy is surprisingly competitive) and Jirou yelling back to SUCK IT UP, LOSER. (In the end, no one won as they all topple over each other).

"Izuku!" His mother called. He turned around to see Katsuki holding a chocolate cake (begrudgingly) and setting it down on a table. Inko lit the candles. 

"Happy Birthday, nerd," Katsuki said, glaring at the boy (he was getting a lot of mixed signals. Was Kacchan being nice, or planning his execution for being dragged into doing this?).

"Kacchan," Izuku's eyes widened.

Katsuki tched and stomped away. This was somehow good enough for Izuku, as he smiled at the leaving boy.

Inko beckoned her son to sit at the table in front of the cake. Izuku stood up and went over to his mother.

"Look at you, you're all grown up now," Inko sniffed and smiled, wiping a tear from her eye. "Soon you'll be saving so many people, just like you always wanted. I'm so happy for you, Izuku!" Inko held his hand. "Just know that I'll always support you, no matter what! But I better not get anymore calls that you're breaking bones again!"

Izuku smiled, chuckling. "You don't have to worry mom. I'll make sure I don't break anything as much as possible."

Inko smiled. "I'll take your word for it. Now sit! You need to blow out the candles!" Inko ushered Izuku to sit.

His classmates surrounded him and began singing Happy Birthday to him, though at various pitches, so the song sounded like a mess.

"Make your wish!"

"Hurry hurry! I want a slice of cake already!"

"Stop rushing him Jammingway. I'm still surprised you haven't accidentally fried your brain when we played Scrabble!"

"Hey! I'm not that bad! I don't work good under pressure!"

Like little kids, they ushered the birthday boy to make his wish. Izuku thought for a moment on what he wanted to wish for.

He never really had these kind of birthday parties growing up. The last time he had one with other people was when he was four. After that, people rejected his invites and he would just spend the day hanging out with his mom.

But now, he has friends (that alone is almost enough to bring him to tears), classmates who actually want to get to know about him and hang out with him.

Izuku closed his eyes and blew out the candles.

His friends cheered and joked around and the cake was cut.

"What did you wish for, kero?" Tsuyu asked Izuku, holding her slice of cake.

Izuku grinned, "Well, that's a secret!"

Everyone munched on their cake and had an enjoyable time. There were nice, long conversations, embarrassing stories ("MOM!" "Oh Izuku, I just couldn't resist."), and other simple yet fun games.

Even so, everything must come to an end. Inko soon left and the students had to clean up and get ready to go to bed by curfew.

Izuku looked at his friends, who chatted quietly yet actively. The happy smiles on their faces made him feel warm inside. He thought back to what he wished for.

I wish for more happy moments like these. Hanging out with my friends, sparring together and becoming heroes together. Yeah, I wish for a happy future with everyone.

Izuku smiled. This will do just fine.

[blacknovelist]

K A T S U K I B A K U G O, for the ask thingy please! Thank you!

i love these letter headcanons so much, my dudes

(okay so like, honesty hour it’s been a Solid While since I’ve read BNHA and I haven’t caught up yet but here’s my hot takes as requested.

I think the last I solidly caught up was about, like, the cultural festival? So if something happened later to like, contradict with these, just disregard it and don’t let me know - I’ll catch up and see for myself eventually.)

K: how do you know when you’ve upset them?

See, the thing about Bakugo is - he’s a loud sort, and it’s easy to assume (so very, very, very easy) that he is so in everything he ever does. He screams and hisses and swears and shouts at so many things, it’s his defining trait. The thing is, it’s not his volume that tells you first, if you know what to look for.

Nah, it’s in the look on his face. The way the lines of his cheek n jaw shift and his hands twitch and for a moment he ain’t just glaring and frowning at you or the world but at himself, too. When he realizes he’s upset his first instinct is always to reach inward, somehow - whether bodily or mentally or both, it depends - and study it. Examine it. Look at it. Once he’s got it pinned, then, then he’s gotta look for an outlet - a means to further that understanding if you will. And sometimes maybe also he’ll look to lash out at someone he sees as responsible for his pain, if such a person exists. It’s just, his brain works so fast - Bakugo is a prodigy in his own right, brilliant beneath all that rage - that actually noticing that moment, not passing it off as a fidget or a twitch or anything else it isn’t, is already hard enough as it is.

See like, his shouting, it’s a defense, but it’s also just who he is (be loud, they’ll notice you, attention is good). It’s that half-step pause, when he’s knocked off balance and that unsure look crosses his face as he does, thats when you know.

And then he’ll blast your ears off one way or another, and if you didn’t notice he’ll usually get louder and start cussing you out and you kind of have to notice. Unless you’ve really really upset him - then he goes a little quieter (in the way a car horn is softer than a foghorn) and obliterates you with his words. Bakugo will always know the most efficient way to shut someone down using only his words, you just gotta coax him to it. And when he’s upset, well, no one wants to keep talking to someone who’s made them upset - ending the conversation by returning the favor is just a bonus.

(Of course, I’m registering “upset” as not including or being the same as “anger”, at least at it’s core (bc he’ll progress to being angry abt it eventually), because Bakugo being angry is something we’re all quite familiar with. And of course, this is assuming someone has found the right buttons to push to even make him upset, given the fact that I also believe he just doesn’t care enough to really let what others say get to him.

If anyone’s gonna make Bakugo genuinely upset, I’d bet more money on it being himself - thinking, dreaming, wondering, questioning everything he’s done and is doing and will someday do, probably - than anyone else. But were that not the case, well. Here we are.)

A: what are/were their best subjects in school?

Bakugo is a boy of many talents - you need the best grades to get into UA, after all. I think he probably did best in English, because All Might is known to speak English phrases from time to time. (This is related to the fact that Bakugo is the English teacher in Ageswap)

He likely also is good with chemistry, given his Quirk - he’s gotta understand reactions and gases and which ones are where generally, the interactions of substances and those gasses with his Quirk and also their reactions when exposed to heat/light/etc, what things he can use to fuel explosions or put out fires caused by it, so on.

T: Where are they ticklish?

I don’t particularly imagine Bakugo as a ticklish person? Partially because he wouldn’t let anyone close enough to tickle, but mostly because he just doesn’t strike me like that (and it’s not because I’m not ticklish, because I am unfortunately extremely so). If I had to give a place, I’d say it’s probably somewhere a little strange, like the soles of his feet or the back of his neck or something.

S: How stealthy are they?

At first glance, unbelievably so. Those who know Bakugo know better, of course, but nonetheless. Despite the boisterous and angry manner Bakugo holds himself he is, again, extremely smart. He knows when to be subtle, when to quiet down and, most important in this case, when to lay low and sneak.

I don’t think I’d put him as like, top sneaker of the class, but the boy knows how to creep when he needs to. On a scale where say, Hagakure was 10/10, I’d pin him a solid 6 or 7/10 when he’s actually trying.

U: What’s their voice like?

I’ve always imagined his voice as always having a sort of… edge to it. Not a gritty-sounding emo sort of edge but like,, like he’s always chomping at the bit to end a conversation, I guess. Also, he talks a little quickly when he’s not swearing specifically at someone - not so fast that he’s incomprehensible, but more like what he’s saying is obvious and he can’t understand why you don’t see it that way either. It’s not malicious or on purpose, it’s just how he is.

I: On a scale of 1 to 10, how much do they love themselves?

Mmm. As a kid, a solid 9 or 10 - back then he was too young, just a boy with the entire damn world at his fingertips. He never had reason to believe he was anything less than the absolute best, and that’s fine.

At the start of the series I’d say he, to others, looks like he’s always on the high end of the spectrum (7-10 out of 10), and I’d say back then he probably felt it too. Middle schoolers are the absolute worst, I have no trouble believing he has that much confidence in the beginning.

By the boot camp he’s still putting off solid 7-10 vibes (I think there’s never a time he isn’t putting on that air with the world so just assume he is pls) but I think - with all the hits his self-confidence, what with how different UA is to anything else he’s ever known - he’s sitting at closer to 5’s and 6’s. After Kamino? He drops below 5 and for every moment he thinks about it (about the fight, about All Might, about the hero career that almost ended and the one that actually did) it continues to go down. The thing being, of course, that he doesn’t act it, and a part of me imagines he stays in partial denial (“I feel like this but maybe I don’t”) until about the provisional license. (Though, I don’t think he drops lower than 3)

Idk, maybe it’s just been a while and I’m overthinking it but I get the vibes that Bakugo vaguely acknowledging Izuku in that moment in the exam? It was kinda the moment it clicked in his own brain, an understanding of what Izuku has been given based on what he knows, so to speak, and how different it is from him. I think that’s when he stops denying how low he thinks he’s sunk, which leads to him wanting to get answers, which leads to the fight. Which is such a good moment, holy shit.

I think it’s after that that Bakugo starts working towards building himself back up internally. Needing to take that additional thing to get his license was a blow, but he’s nothing if not determined - he’ll make that comeback, just you wait. He’s a solid and even 6-7 by the cultural festival, and holding strong.

(Again: I haven’t caught up with canon for a very long time, so if canon seems to contradict me or if you’re looking for a look at how he is now, sorry)

B: Do they have any allergies?

Nope. Everyone hates him come allergy season because he’s always cool as a cucumber and the same as he always is.

G: How do they flirt?

man, this is so far out of my jurisdiction

here’s some true facts kids: I don’t generally judge ships and if it’s in character i’ll read almost anything

but i’m also not a shipper, at all. Given the option, I’d sooner throw my entire being into the pit that is “platonic shit” than have to deal with an excess of it.

So like, I’m not here for romance, and I tend to rely on tropes when I am, but Bakugo lands in that hotspot of “would not fulfill those romance tropes on his own of his own volition”.

I guess if I had to say, I think he’d probably extend invitations to let the person he’s interacting with learn more about him in general - hobbies n habits n shit like that. That is to say, he’d absolutely invite someone hiking or to spar or whatever in an attempt to both learn abt the person (how do they react) and to let them learn about him. He’s always struck me as being kind of private, so like, such a leap would probably mean a lot.

That’s as much as I’m getting from this one mate

O: What would it take to break them, inside and out?

We’ve already caught a good damn glimpse of this - you know that breakdown he has with Izuku, when he’s blaming himself for being the end of All Might?

Bakugo thrives on hard work and being the best (or at least, striving for it), and that leaves a number of ways for him to break, it’s just that he’s incredibly resilient as a person so it’s hard to tell.

The frustration of trying his best and still ending a situation with the worst case - a la Kamino but worse - would absolutely destroy him. Can you imagine? Working hard and powering through and doing everything in your damn power to do the right thing, to save yourself so you can save others, to be a hero, only for it to be for literally nothing in the end? The specific scenario I’ve got in mind is a little more long-term; I believe that if something big happened like that and he came out thinking it ended well enough, only for a shoe the size of the USA to drop on his head and disrupt everything he’s worked towards? Rendering nearly all their work for nothing? Revealing that he and everyone else played right into the villains’ hands, essentially making this their own faults?

Well, something would break in just any anyone.

(Alternately, a realization that everything you do is meaningless and a constant reinforcement of “you’ll never be who you want to be” would also do a pretty damn good job)

Ignoring My Winnings

Short soft Langst fic

Concept: u kno the thing that ppl never notice ur achievements but scold u at your losses

Ye that one.

(the team is complete,castle isn't destroyed )

=======

It's sometimes annoying

"I swear Lance you always lose focus"

But I took down more drones than before

"I'd appreciate it if you were serious being a paladin Lance"

I am serious, I just don't want you guys to be all tensed up.

"What, you missed? I thought you were our sharpshooter! Haha"

I rarely miss

But its unavoidable, especially when you have a reputation of being a goofball

That's what Lance always thinks when they scold him on mistakes he tried to avoid.

It was fine he was a little used to it now.

=====

There was one time when had a week for free. The Princess was in a Democratic stay-in in a planet, guarded by only by Coran because the Aliens were an ally of Alteana years ago.

So the paladins were left to their own devices in the space castle orbiting around the planet.

"A whole week by ourselves! Hey Hunk! Wanna hit that space pool sometime?" hands raised full of energy Lance was glared at by Keith

"just because Princess Allura is in a week-long leave doesn't mean we're in a week long leave as paladins as well"

"Keith's right, we'll be having extended hours of training while the princess is gone" Shiro declared, the trio booed in dissapointment "at the last day everyone's having a day off" the trio started muttering

"fair enough"

"ugh, fine"

"we can't get anything better out of Shiro on this one"

They did the training where they have to protect each other from blasters from small balls of metal. It wasn't anything special actually, just that he's always the one getting hit first.

Like

ALL. THE. TIME.

"Lance, this is the fifth time" Shiro stood in front him giving him a hand.

"sorry, 'bout that " Lance took his hand and stood up as well "having a hard time on defending myself when changing Bayard weapons"

"but aren't you guys supposed to defend me and stuff? " Lance continued

"get off Lance, not everyone is supposed defend you" Keith raised a brow

"I know, that's not what I me-"

Pidge cut him off "I just checked, Hunk was able to take out 14 bots, Shiro 42,I got 26,Lance 36 and Keith took out 32"

"Impressive Keith, 5 bots more than last time" Shiro praised Keith, placing his hand on his shoulder.

"oh and hunk, it's okay, your weapon's not exactly light you know" Pidge said

"Lance" Shiro turned to Lance "might wanna work on your defense" Lance had his mouth gaped, but shut it right

Impressive Keith

He thought with a mocking voice, he respects Shiro, more than Allura actually, but he can't help getting g annoyed when Shiro tends to pay more attention to Keith

FYI I took out 36 bots even when I had the shortest time

Lance shook his thoughts off

Shiro and Keith are basically brothers, slight bias is normal.

I mean I do need to improve on my defense

He sighed and let it go.

The next day was hand to hand combat, his "favourite"

He totally likes getting knocked over

Hi totally like getting hit

He totally likes losing all the time because his Bayard is for long ranged

He just loves it

He also loves seeing Shiro pairing himself with Keith almost every single time

"hey hunk, don't you think Shiro should be training with someone else other than Keith? "

"who? You? Lance, I bet you couldn't even manage to stay conscious for five minutes if you fought Shiro.Keith is the only one able to match Shiro"

"Ugh" Lance could only groan "Hey Lance! You gonna train or what " Pidge shouted on stance Bayard ready.

He's gonna lose again and he knows it

++++++

Well, he did lose

Dissapointed but not surprised, really.

Pidge is fast, with her small stature she's almost impossible to hit. His sniper wouldn't work, though he could aim a perfect hit, he couldnt do it fast enough. His rifle was fast yet he'd sometimes miss. His sword? Pidge can easily topple him ,so he didn't even try, in fact he doesn't want to show anyone he got a sword, or else he'd be force to spar with Keith, and he'd lose. More points to deduct on Lance's Confidence chart.

"you should get better on Hand to Hand Lance, you're not always in a tower with a sniper" Pidge said

"Yeah Yeah I know,I did get to beat you though" Lance tried to laugh while he's feeling every bruise in his body

He's a little pissed at Pidge but more on himself at the moment

"yeah like that's worth something" PIdge walked away to rest and spar with Hunk "Hunk you're next! I've still got some energy"

"gotta give a man some credit, or else he'd feel useless" he lied to on the floor and sighed

"what" Pidge turned her heel "Lance you're not useless" she said concerned

"nice to hear that pidge" he said sarcastically and laughed it off "That's not how I see it" he stood up and went out "Gonna get some water be back in a sec"

Hunk stared at Lance exiting

" dude I'd I just hear that"

---------

This is sooo short. I can't exactly write much without risking being seen by a teacher at school :-(

prince jungkook

okay everyone i have requests piling on up but good old clinical mental health problems™ are kind of yikes

but royalty au is my FAVORITE you have no idea like it's my fave au besides ouran but like au ohdaibljarh i love it

jungkook is leo lmao jk

so this kingdom is going to be a total rip off of nohr because i love my emo son leo and his dumb retainers

jungkook is the baby of his family, the youngest lil prince in the castle

he's kind of spoiled rotten honestly because his older brothers absolutely adore him, and they shower him in more attention than he knows what to do with

like he could bat an eyelash and hoseok would be at his side, asking if he needed anything

whenever he wants to practice his sparring, yoongi immediately stops whatever they're doing to help with bow and arrow practice or sword skills

jimin ALWAYS sneaks him pastries and buns from the kitchen

speaking of which pineapple buns?? ten out of ten would recommend

and while the princes are beautiful and kind and soft the kingdom itself is not

it's a dark kingdom, a rainy kingdom, where the sun rarely seems to shine

the main focus of the kingdom is agriculture, even though that's always a bust because of the terrible climate

they really make more money through weapon sales and trade all that good stuff

even though the kingdom is kind of tight on money yikes

but it's not like falling to shambles, not at all

the king runs a very tight schedule, and things are very organized, very controlled, very well run

yoongi is next in line for the throne, but the king totally favors jungkook and low key tries to give him more power than the other princes

but jungkook doesn't want that!! he just wants to chill with all his brothers and have a good time!!

okay let's get on with the story because i had a quality idea and boy howdy i sure forget things fast

alright, so the princes are making one of their daily visits to the town

but disguised, because things are no fun when everyone is bowing and trying to kiss your feet

cliche--- but i love it--- they have the really large cloaks and they just keep the cowls up because that would totally work

lol it does in this scenario

they love to look at the local produce, drink cheap ale at the local tavern, play tag with the local kids, and just interact with their people

not something the king does everyday lmao

today, it's rather cold, and jungkook can see that winter is coming by the way frost crawls up the trunks of trees, the way the birds have already started flying south, the way more and more shops close their doors to ward off the wintery winds

the boys still like to visit around town though

jungkook especially loves seeing the transformed landscape

as the youngest prince, he's usually cooped up indoors, listening to his tutor drone on about the influence of naval power upon the world, or balancing books on his head to maintain great posture or some other bs

so he loves being outside to see the pond freeze over, or the dirt start to be painted white due to the little snowflakes

he doesn't like seeing so many people so worried about their futures though

like i said, poorer kingdom, so most of the people suffer through the cold months with one blanket for a family of five, and half a loaf of bread amongst them

jungkook always tries to give people money, but yoongi tells him that's only temporary aid and he will make changes once he's in power

that doesn't ease the hurt in jungkook’s heart though

anyway they're in town right, and the middle two boys have gone off to god knows where, leaving yoongi and jungkook to themselves

they're in the middle of town, strolling amongst the various vendors, examining all the goods made available to them

out of the corner of his eye, he watches someone dart towards the bakers cart

there's a loud crash and jungkook spins around to see you on the ground, loaf of bread tucked under your arm

someone starts shouting and you push yourself off the ground, trying to desperately run for your life

a few soldiers start chasing after you and you're running fast, so fast, you don't pay attention to your surroundings and completely slam into jungkook, causing you to once again fall on your butt

one of the soldiers grabs your a and yanks you to your feet

“common filth like you ought to spend the rest of your days in prison, rotting away until the rats-”

“that's enough.” jungkook snaps

“and who are you to tell me what to do?” the guard laughs

jungkook throws off his hood and the guards immediately fall to their knees, begging mercy

jungkook gives you a soft smile, then devotes his attention to the guards

“how DARE you touch my servant like that.”

“your highness, you must be mistaken, this is a common criminal-”

“no, they are my servant, chosen by me to trust the security of this place. you know our enemies could attack whenever and wherever, and i need you to be on your best watch. clearly, you passed my simple test, and you shall be rewarded for it.” jungkook says, haughty tone to his voice.

he pulls a few coins from his change purse and tosses them to the baker

yoongi watches on silently, thinking of all the various ways he's going to beat jungkook’s insolent little ass tonight

you're shaking, badly, and you can't believe you were just saved by one of the princes, let alone the cutest one

jungkook turns on his heel to leave, and you're like oh gods i need to thank him--

he turns his head “why are you just standing there? no servant of mine should be wasting time, gaping like a complete idiot.”

yoongi: boy what the f u c k

and that's where you find yourself later that evening, standing in jungkook’s room, freshly washed up and dressed in an outfit finer than anything you've seen, let alone worn in your entire life

“i've never had a servant close to my age.” jungkook is sitting on the edge of his bed, kicking his legs back and forth. “this will be fun i think. you're bound to be infinitely better than the boring old ladies that watch over me.”

you're too frightened to speak, so you stand there silently, shoulders tensed, eyes wide, hands clasped in front of you, trying to look anywhere but jungkook

“well come on, aren't you going to tell me your name?”

and so you do, sheepishly, so quiet that jungkook has to ask again

he nods when he finally hears you and then he kinda gets silent because yes he's the prince but he's kind of shy when it actually comes down to talking to people close to him in age

he starts kicking his legs again and then he gives you a quick look over

“well i guess i'll have to find someone to train you…” he says with a sigh

and you're like excuse me what you're the one who picked me off the street honey

but you can’t actually say that to him because like that shiz could get you beheaded or something and that is not what you need in life oh no

so you just kind of follow behind silently as he leads you off to where all the royal butlers and maids hang out and do their training mm hmmm

and when jungkook leads you in everyone is like ooh what’s up with the prince ooh look at the lil cutie he’s brought in

and they’re all like old so they can tease him like that because they practically raised this boy??

jungkook gets all red and he starts to stammer how it’s not like that and how he just wanted someone closer in age to serve him

and he just is like gotta blast sorry everyone

and so he leaves right away, not even giving you a good bye

you blink and all the servants swarm you, asking how you got jungkook to fall in love with you so quickly and you’re like in love what does that meaN

after all their inspecting and gossip about you, they actually get down to business about what you gotta do for jungkook as his new personal maid/butler

it seems simple

you have to accompany him to all his meetings, whether they be negotiations, tutoring lessons, or even dinner

you’re supposed to stay back and be like a shadow, just keeping an eye in case the dearest prince should ever need something

you also have to serve him tea in the afternoons, or at least, know how to

you need to help him dress in the morning and at first you’re like red in the face, sweating nervously, stuttering because what???

but the servants tell you that this job is only for really formal occasions, like when foreign princes and princesses come to visit and jungkook is too impatient to figure out how to wear his sash smh

basically you have to attend to his every need and you’re like great, i cannot wait, i’m ecstatic

or maybe, every time you touch, you feel the static (w/jungkook) and that’s why you’re so excited mm hmm

rijijaijajirt anyway

you’re super nervous especially since you just came off the streets, literally, like you have no social status or skills or ability to actually serve jungkook well

you’re like i will be beheaded within five days

you get the rundown on the whole thing, the whole job thing

and then the servants take you down to the servants’ quarters so you can set up a bed and sleep early so you’re well rested for the big day tomorrow

you set up a little spot in the corner of your room, and you’re like alright, i just need to sleep and maybe i’ll realize this is all a dream

nah fam

it’s not

because in burst jungkook, forlorn and confused look on his face

the servants are all rushing to bow and like ask what the deal is because royalty are so above entering the servants’ quarters (save hoseok who likes to come down every morning and say hi)

and jungkook points at you all accusing “aren’t you coming back? it’s been like three hours, you’re supposed to be back”

you look around at all the servants because “y’all just said i could sleep”

but they shrug and start to shoot each other looks and you realize that it’s ‘me against the world’

wow getting all the iconic songs in here tonight

you try to hide yourself in the corner but jungkook has obviously spotted you and he gives you this look

“i need your assistance, isn’t that your job? to assist me?”

you inwardly groan but give a nod of the head because this boy did save your life, you kinda owe him big time

“come on then!”

jungkook turns on his heel and you follow close behind, the other servants giving you winks and grins as you walk by

jungkook takes you back to his room and you’re like what it is late and i am tired and-

he just plops down on his bed and crosses his legs criss cross apple sauce and smiles all cute and you feel your heart start to stir at the innocence of him

“i want you to read to me.”

“you what now.”

“are you questioning me?”

“i mean, of course. which book your highness?”

jungkook points to one over on his night stand and you pick it up and inwardly stab yourself because it’s a history book about famous battles of lost kingdoms

jungkook looks so excited though and his eyes light up and you’re like oh my god fine…

you don’t know where to stand though and you kind of stand there awkwardly and open the book but it feels like you’re preaching to him or something

jungkook rolls his eyes and scoots over on the huge canopy bed and pats the now empty space beside him

“when i was little, my brothers would always read to me. yoongi was the worst. he always spoke all monotone and he would tell me horror stories and i would cry and then jimin would have to calm me down. yoongi is mean.”

when you don’t take the seat, he turns his head “i command you sit next to me.”

so you take a reluctant seat beside him with the heavy book still in your arms, doing your best not to look over at jungkook because you know that it’s wrong to look royalty in the eye let alone touch them

or like, idk, sit on their bed

while they are also sitting on the said bed

“hoseok was the best at reading. whenever he would read me fairy tales, he would change voices for all the characters!! he would always make them so exciting and give everything a happy ending…”

“so you have three brothers then?” you ask slowly, knowing that you’re not supposed to address jungkook so… familiarly

“three. i’m the baby. me and hoseok have the same mom, so maybe that’s why he likes me the most.” jungkook turns to face you. “but yoongi is the only son of the actual queen. so he’s the one who’s next in line obviously. he’s the one who was out with me! he likes me a lot too. jimin likes me too.”

“everyone likes you it seems.”

“i hope so.”

you two fall silent but it’s not really uncomfortable, just wary, because you two are in very distinct and separate roles that should never ever be more than a prince and servant, like they shouldn’t ever grow beyond that

but jungkook seems so… genuine? he saved your life and he treats you like an equal already, going as far to talk to you so openly about his family and everything? amazing, what a hero

anyway monsta x hero japanese version actually flows very nicely and you can tell they put a lot in time into making the japanese work with the music and beat so check it out my dudes

also anyone trying to go their concert…

okay anyway you start reading and it’s the most boring and dry thing you have ever read in your entire freaking life and you just wanna fall asleep but jungkook seems pretty fascinated so you keep going for his sake

it’s really pretty bad like you have no idea what pineapples have to do with warfare but they’re a pretty key role in this book

jungkook is practically leaning on your shoulder now because he wants to see all twenty seven of the pictures and he’s so excited by them

“it’s because, since i won’t have to get married because our kingdom pisses everyone off, i’ll probably be commander of the army or something. when yoongi steps down i mean. because he’s the one who has to be married, because he’s the only non-bastard son, ya know?”

you glance over at him “but aren’t you scared?”

“no. i live on adrenaline.”

and as you serve jungkook more and more you find that to be true

jungkook does whatever he wants whenever he wants

like one day you’re bringing him the afternoon tea and he’s busy messing around with his loyal doggy that you have to be like “yO YOUR HIGHNESS”

“you can just call me jungkook you know”

he’s bored and wants someone to spar? well it’s time to hop on yoongi’s bed and smash him until he can’t breathe

it’s cold in the castle? time to go and steal all of hoseok’s clothes? (which often end up having to be mended because hoseok is so thin and jungkook is so muscular that… rip (get it because he’s ripped, and the clothes rip…)

where did all of jimin’s dessert pastries go? oh wait they’re stuffed in jungkook’s cheeks

most of your days are spent trying to keep jungkook out of trouble rather than actually helping him do anything

jungkook doesn’t do it to be mischievous or anything, it’s mostly because he wants the attention of his older brothers who are all suddenly too busy to pay much attention to him anymore

he doesn’t actually say that but you can tell

he keeps interrupting literally anything they do and yes they love jungkook but it’s hard to work when he’s disrupting everything

jungkook ends up being such a disturbance that he ends up in solitary confinement

seriously

the king has done had it with jungkook, which is rare, and he tells him he needs to stay in his room until he learns how to behave

jungkook whines and complains but then he figures out you’re basically trapped with him so he’s pretty okay

“chess?’ is the first thing he suggests

“is the purpose to get rid of the king?”

and instead of screaming nOOoOOoooOOooooooOOOoo like casey, the resident asshole of my math class, he offers to teach you how to play since you two have like all the time in the world

all the time in the world being until dinner later that evening

you two sit down in the spacious room and he sets up the chess board

the pieces are glass, and they’re so intricate and beautifully carved and you’re so scared that you might break them or something but jungkook reassures you that everything will be okay and that they would want to be used

he tosses you your queen or king and with a wink goes “wow look the chess piece that represents you”

“wow, did jimin teach you that one?”

“yoongi actually”

“wow, impressive”

you can’t help but blush as you set up your pieces though

you still have no idea how to play though, and you sit there kind of dumbly as jungkook poises, ready to move his first piece

“oh, how could i forget?”

he starts going over all the pieces, and how many spaces they can move and how, and how the game actually works and i’m not actually sure because nobody would answer me in math today smh

but then

then he grabs your hand and delicately guides your fingers to move your first piece and now your heart is racing and your face must be red as the draping over his bed but you try to keep it cook because servants can’t just up and fall in love with their princes, that’s not allowed

oops too late i guess…

jungkook is bad at chess because he’s impatient and he doesn’t really like to take much time planning his moves

which is okay in your book because he likes it’s cute to see him get worked up and puff his cheeks out when you take out one of his pieces

i have the ap language exam tomorrow wait a second

he complains and whines and tells you that you’re cheating by distracting him but he just doesn’t like to lose

but he wants you to win because your eyes light up and you get all smiley when you take another one of his pieces and wow he is in love

he is in like, love is a big commitment and hoseok already warned him that their father would be furious if jungkook fell for you, even if he is the favorite son

jungkook told hoseok that nothing like that would ever happen but lol here we are my dudes, here we are

after you crush jungkook in chess, he decides that the next best thing to do to win his honor back is play you in dice

which he also loses at because he likes seeing your smile too much and his honor is something he’s willing to sacrifice if you’re happy in the end

“i’m so sad that i lost, maybe you should make it up to me.” jungkook pouts, flinging himself onto his bed dramatically soon afterward

“well what did you have in mind?”

“tell me a story.”

so you walk over to his bookcase, the one full of tales of old, and reach out to grab the history of war for what has to be the millionth time

but jungkook stops you with a soft, “no, from your head.”

like so many times before he pats the empty seat beside him, and you take your seat, snuggling you back up to the fluffy pillows

you take a deep breath and begin

“there once was a prince in a far away kingdom, with dragons and warlocks and pegauss knights. he was youthful and bright, with eyes like a deer and the curiosity of one too. he had the sweetest smile and the chubbiest cheeks and his nose was too big for his face, but in an endearing, adorable sort of way. the prince was adored by everyone, from his father, to his brothers, to the townspeople. everyone had heard of his skill with a sword, his knowledge of the worlds around him, but mostly his kindness that stretched even to the most lowly of people.”

you expect jungkook to say something saucy in remark but he listens with rapt attention, his gaze focused on you and you alone

“the prince loved everyone, but he couldn’t seem to ever find it in his heart to believe in himself.”

you know this to be true about jungkook

you’ve watched him spend countless hours sparring, and then beating himself up about messing up one move out of seven million, then pick his sword back up to practice once again

you see him as he preens and preps to dress more like yoongi, to walk more like hoseok, to converse more like jimin in the most subtle ways possible

he constantly finds things about himself to pick apart, and it breaks your heart

“the prince was always so busy caring for others, that he forgot to care for himself.”

jungkook rests his head on your shoulder and inhales slowly

you take a deep breath

you close your eyes

and then you take your hand in his, intertwining your fingers

jungkook gives your hand a tight squeeze

the story continues, and then the story soon ends, though jungkook has fallen asleep on your shoulder and will not hear of how the prince and his ever loyal servant end up with the happiest of endings

“and they lived happily ever after.” you whisper, leaning down and kissing the top of his head

you don’t remember drifting off but you sure as heck do, because the next thing you hear is hoseok’s shrieking

like shrieking as in he probably get stabbed and the castle is under attack

you go to get up but there is an arm around your torso and a face buried in your back and you’re finally piecing everything together

“jungkook, you gotta let go-”

another horrified shriek from hoseok

“i mean your highness------”

hoseok runs over to the two of you and shakes jungkook awake

“hurry up, if you two are in love which by the looks of it, you are, there’s only a limited amount of time that i can marry you before father finds out. i may not be ordained, but i could bullshit my way through it”

jungkook pushes himself up groggily and stares down at you because what are you doing here??

oh wait a second

hoseok is pulling at both of your arms but it’s too late, in walks the king, with jimin and yoongi pulling at his arms to try and stop him

the king stares at the scene, at hoseok trying to block to you, at jungkook yawning with his arm still around your waist, at your absolutely horrified face

“jungkook”

“father no, wait-”

“this isn’t your battle to fight hoseok, now leave”

“father, pl-”

“i said LEAVE”

the other three princes scurry out and now it’s just you, jungkook, and the king

he’s an intimidating man, muscular as jungkook, but with a hard face and sharp features

you and jungkook rush to stand up and bow, you avoiding his gaze at all costs

the king walks over and commands you both to stand

you’re trembling now and jungkook holds onto your hand in an attempt to somehow reassure you, but it’s not happening because you feel like you’re about to break down in tears now

the king won’t say anything and it seems like time has frozen completely

but then he pulls jungkook into his arms and hugs him tightly

you’re both in shock to say the least

the king hugs jungkook tighter “my precious son, how you’ve grown”

and then the king pulls you into his arms and now it’s a family hug and you’re wondering why this is happening and how he is okay with this but then you remember that jungkook’s mother was a maid

and suddenly things are starting to make more sense

“father, i… i love them”

“as i’ve noticed my boy.”

jungkook nods and you can see the tears in his eyes, and you can see the tears in his father’s eyes

“i remember when you were first born… you were so small, so helpless… now look at you, pulling the same tricks i did when i first met your mother.”

he ruffles jungkook’s hair and now all of you are laughing softly, at ease at the way the situation played out

hoseok pokes his head in the door “so when’s the wedding?”

yes, there is a wedding

a grand and beautiful wedding to which the entire kingdom is invited to attend

complete with thousands and thousands of flowers

with a giant cake that jimin keeps trying to swipe icing off of

with hoseok sobbing his eyes out and continually trying to pull jungkook into a tight and bone-crushing hug

with yoongi being the one who volunteers to walk you down the aisle

and yes, jungkook is too impatient to figure out just how to put his suit on correctly, sash and all

your hands are shaking as you fix the crown atop his head

and your hands are shaking hours later when he slips the silver band onto your finger

and yes, they are still shaking when you cup his face in your hands and lean in for your first kiss with the boy you are going to spend the rest of your life with

choro pours his milk before his cereal. the only matsu who accepts this fact is kara because "do everything YOUR WAY, buraza!"

oh my gosh, thank you for all your asks! i’m gonna respond to all of yours in this one. so:

my first instinct is to say that another brother (most likely jyushimatsu) pours milk before cereal, much to choromatsu’s endless exasperation. osomatsu would probably do it on purpose every once in a while to get a rise out of choro.

but honestly, why should “otaku” and “rising” be choro’s only "weird” quirks?  choro pours milk before cereal and all his brothers give him shit for it, so he prepares his cereal out of sight on his own time (kara says “do everything YOUR WAY”, but not before raising his eyebrows and grimacing slightly). sometimes todomatsu catches him doing it and is like “why are you such a freak oh my god” and choromatsu has some BS retort like ‘it tastes better this way! the milk has to settle before you introduce the flavors of the cereal into it. it takes longer for the cereal to get soggy this way!!’

totty once willingly gave his phone to jyuushi when he heard his gf has a twitter account and jyuushi wanted to scroll thru it (ofc he was supervised and all the other apps were locked)

okay first of all, any jyushi/homura-kanojo-whatshername headcanons make my heart grow 3 sizes, so i’m already sold on this. 

i like to think that jyushi was pretty dejected after the events of episode 9. he still acted cheery and energetic, but all of his brothers could tell that his heart wasn’t completely in it and they wanted to do everything they could to help. 

totty turns to the medium he knows better than any of his brothers: social media. he didn’t even know the girl’s name and barely even remembered her face, but on god, he was going to find her. after days of super intensive searching (and taking a little stroll through the deep web), he finds her public twitter. totty excitedly shows jyushi and jyushi is ecstatic. he scrolls through her feed for hours until he reaches the end. totty suggests that jyushi make a twitter account so that he can follow her and keep in touch with her, but jyushi declines. “i don’t want to be a bother to her, she had her reasons for leaving. as long as i can check on her sometimes to see if she’s okay, i’m happy”

(quick shout out to @alzheimersparrotroute​, how’s this for a jyushihomu headcanon? did i do a good?)

throwing the rest of these under a readmore so i don’t clog everyone’s dashboards any more than i already have…

—

choro has no idea how to shop for nice clothes so he tried asking totty to help him and totty gave him a makeover that gave him the ‘geek chic’ (his rising stayed tho he was rly embarrassed). ofc a day later he was back to good ol’ choro but it was nice while it lasted

who wouldn’t be embarrassed after getting a makeover from totty, have you seen that boy’s fashion? choro must have been feeling particularly self-conscious about his abilities to dress himself if he went to totty for help (both choro and totty tried in their own ways though, i’ll give them that)

probs spamming but im trying my best i wanna make u happy and i love the matsubros. ichi lets oso play with his cat friends sometimes, but only -sometimes-

(i don’t mind at all! you’re so sweet ahhhh) i feel like ichi is hesitant to let any of his brothers play with his cat friends, except for jyushimatsu. after the whole ESP kitty incident though, he’s more diligent in keeping his cat friends away from his brothers, including jyushi. nothing personal against them, he just would rather not have some weird interpersonal dispute again. if any of his cat friends willingly approaches his brothers, he allows it because why should he take away from the cat’s fun? 

---

he allows karamatsu to play with his cats though without hesitation because they’ve all been trained specifically to attack him. why should ichimatsu take away his own fun?

ichi and jyush got (lowkey and highkey respectively) excited over a baseball game happening on their bday but didn’t plan on going cuz it’s everyones bday and they should all stick together. the others surprised them by buying all of them tickets to the game (then after made them pay them back ofc) (it was osos idea)

i love the idea of ichimatsu being lowkey excited for something like a baseball game. baseball used to be another way that ichi and jyushi bonded, but ichi probably started growing a real appreciation for it from their frequent hanging out. 

idk, i don’t really think that the other brothers were really in on buying baseball tickets for ichi and jyushi’s sake though, i’m leaning more towards ‘the whole thing was oso’s idea and he kept it to himself’. the only reason too is because he miraculously won a decent sum of money from the horse races or pachinko or both, but hey, he’s gotta step into the “good big brother role” sometimes. however, he never lets any of his brothers live it down that he paid for them once, and sometimes he uses it to persuade jyushi (and by extension, ichi) to do stuff for him. shitty, useless, unreliable older brother

---

after kara punched the living daylights outta oso (and after they made up because holy hell this ep still hurts but its was so good) they both signed up to kickboxing lessons. jyush can still kick their asses tho

i almost stopped reading after “after kara punched the living daylights outta oso” because that’s all i need in life. (not really, but listen. i love the punching). totty, being the devious little miscreant that he is, deliberately plants the thought in karamatsu’s mind while osomatsu is sitting in the same room (”karamatsu-niisan, the way you punched osomatsu-niisan was so cool. it would be even cooler if you trained to be a fighter. did you know the local gym has kickboxing classes?”) osomatsu isn’t about to let any of his brothers, let alone karamatsu, outdo him in coolness so he signs up for the classes too. totty takes delight in them paying money to kick and punch each other every week

sometimes kara and oso spar at the house. jyushi sees them and excitedly joins in. the ambulance is called because all of kara’s and oso’s bones are broken. the disaster response team is called too because the damage done to the neighborhood is indescribable

#i loved all of these #thank you so much aaahhhh #headcanon #yahabooty #ask

[a-table-of-fics]

Cull to Adventure, Chapter 6, Draft 1

“What the SHELL were you thinking?!”

Cull shrunk a little, instinctively tugging an imaginary beanie, hands covering his short, cut tentacles. The Zapfish swam through the air over to the Outpost, humming to himself while settling down by the grate to Inkopolis.

“I-I was just…I had to…”

“I thought I told you to leave! Do you know how much danger you were in? I just… I…”

Marie took a moment to breathe. Looking at Cull was getting hard with him giving her that look. She couldn’t tell if he was going to cry, but it wasn’t worth the risk, really. He did get the Zapfish and make it back alive, after all.

Still, she knew it was only going to get harder from here. He was not going to be dying in enemy territory, no matter how much Marie wanted to find the Zapfish or Callie. Still, he showed potential; he wasn’t the best fighter, but everyone had to start somewhere, and he showed some promise with some workarounds he found.

“Well,” she sighed, “If you’re so insistent on being Agent 4, then you’re gonna have to work on your skills. A lot.”

Cull swallowed, but slowly nodded. He didn’t want something to happen to him either.

Marie thought for a moment, and then lifted the grate over the manhole so the Zapfish could come with them.

“Follow me,” she said, evenly. “I think I know where we can go for that.”

* * *

Ding!

“Coming! One moment!”

Yeah, there weren’t really any clients or anything, what with the energy crisis, but Marie knew that wouldn’t stop Sheldon from constantly tinkering with his wares, ensuring they were as amazingly high-tech as the adverts said.

Soon enough, however, the sparks, flickering lights, and loud buzzing stopped coming from the back room, and the goggled horseshoe crab walked over, climbing a stepladder to look over the desk.

“Hello, how can I help—oh, Marie! What can I do for you?”

“Sheldon, are you able to get the firing range up?”

Sheldon looked over at the door to the testing range, and how much light was not coming from it.

“I mean, I could, but I would need to redirect a lot of power… could take at least 45 minutes…”

The Zapfish wriggled out of Cull’s hands and swam towards the room. He looked at Sheldon expectantly.

“Okay,” Sheldon smiled, “I can work with this… Gimme ten minutes instead.”

Marie nodded while Sheldon and the Zapfish went through that door, then turned back to Cull.

“…Maybe I should’ve had you change back to your civilian clothes before we came here,” she remarked, noting how he was doing his best to hide in the corner, away from the windows.

With the light-up headphones, enormous snow boots, and the yellow Agent jacket, he wasn’t exactly doing a good job.

“Don’t worry, no one else’ll be seeing you in there. I don’t want your cover blown, anyway.”

Agent 4 nodded, relaxing ever so slightly.

There was a long, awkward pause. Marie tapped on the handle of her parasol, looking around at the kaleidoscope of weaponry on display around them, while Cull leaned against the wall, looking at the Spattershot he had been using, and noticing how far removed the yellow peashooter was from everything else.

“Sooo….” Marie finally asked, “Where are you from?”

“…I-I’m from Breakwater Flats,” he replied, flatly.

“Breakwater Flats…” Marie echoed, tapping her chin. “Hmm, I think I might have passed through there once or twice… Not sure though.”

“It’s okay,” Cull shrugged. “Y-you’re not missing much. Just open plains and barns…”

“No, I’m sure it’s a nice place,” Marie replied. “Reminds me of my gramma’s place back in Calamari County.”

She sighed, giving a small smile.

“I remember when Cal—my cousin and I were there. She helped me start singing, did you know that? We used to go through the wheat fields…”

She shook her head.

“…Er, anyway, don’t talk that way about your hometown, okay? Trust me, you’ll miss it someday.”

“Um, o-okay,” Cull said, blinking at that abrupt end. “I’ll keep that in m-mind… You know, I do kinda m-m-miss painting at everyone’s places with the l-leftover berries…”

“There you go!” Marie said. “Gotta remember what made it home, right?”

Cull nodded, then perked up as both he and Marie heard loud clicks from the firing range. The door opened, giving way to quite a bit of light, with only a small, helmeted shadow blocking it. Sheldon peeked out, waving.

“The targets aren’t ready yet, but if you wanna come in, you can get a feel for the layout!”

The two shrugged, walking in. The inside wasn’t much to look at, being more based on function than aesthetics. Some grated platforms here, a few ramps there, and range markers everywhere.

“S-so, should I get started?”

“Yeah, we can make small talk later. Go and ink some turf. Get a feel for the range, or whatever.”

With those words of encouragement, Cull started firing, noting how far he could shoot and how accurate his shots were. Even with his grip on the Splattershot, either his hands were pretty dang shaky or there was an abnormal amount of spread on this ink gun.

Marie was confused by this, too. This was just a modified Splattershot; it should be firing a lot more consistently than this. She stepped over to the side, using her parasol to block stray ink shots as she got a better look. She didn’t know about the mechanics of Inkling weaponry, but she sure recognized shoddy gun handling when she saw it. What was he hoping to accomplish with the Splattershot so far away from himself? Both hands were competing to have the trigger finger, and his arms were always too tense or too slack.

“Hey,” she said before having to duck behind her umbrella again. “HEY!”

That got the rain to stop.

“Right,” she said, trying to ignore his wide eyes looking at her. “You gotta learn how to hold a Splattershot.”

She shook her umbrella dry before setting it under her arm. She stepped in front of a stunned Cull and gently took his wrist.

“Now, see, you want to keep a good grip,” she said, moving his left hand from the trigger guard to under the barrel of the gun. “You only need one finger to pull the trigger, remember.”

“…Mhm.”

“Don’t be scared of it,” Marie continued, pushing the Splattershot closer to Cull’s chest. “You gotta keep it stable, you know?”

Cull nodded shakily.

“Your weapon is a part of you,” she said, stepping back, “So you need to treat it with respect. That’s a rule of the battlefield.”

She looked him up and down. Well, he was holding his gun properly now, but that didn’t do anything to fix his stance. With his legs so close together and his feet pointed slightly inward, it was obvious he would rather be anywhere else. More importantly, though, it would make him quite off-balance in a fight.

Well, one thing at a time. She didn’t want to overwhelm him, after all.

“All right, kid,” Marie said. “Try it again!”

Cull fired again, this time with a far firmer grip. There was a lot less spread, and the range benefitted from Marie’s tips, too.

Marie smiled. It reminded her of when she and Callie were learning how to turf from their Gramps. To think; back then she was spraying and praying, but now she used a Charger all the time!

Man, she remembered she had that same awkward stance back then. It was actually Callie who got her fighting stance down first; the first few sparring matches made that clear to Marie. She was splatted over and over, with only a couple of splats on Callie to show for it. She remembered learning how to grip a Splattershot the same way Cull just did, only with her Gramps showing her. It was Callie, however, who got her to watch her footwork.

And she did it all with her loud, bombastic, fun way of doing everything. When they weren’t practicing with inking or splatting, Callie took her to all kinds of places, from Old Skillet’s rickety abandoned barn to a dance club the kids had made in the woods.

Marie sighed. She couldn’t be like that at all, and she didn’t need the reminder of her missing cousin.

“…H-how’s that?” Cull asked.

“Hmm?” She asked, snapping out of the past. “Oh, yeah, that’s much better, wouldn’t you say? Your wrists’ll last longer, trust me.”

“I s-see…”

Just then, the vaguely squid-shaped dummies filled back up, making for targets Cull could fire at to actually practice. Marie knew that the other area, divided by a massive wall, had moving targets, but for now, she figured a nice, easy break with stationary dummies would be best.

“Well, have at it, kid!”

She walked back and leaned on the wall by the door they came in through. She was ready to give pointers, and hopefully see some results. If Cull was going to be Agent 4, he’d have to fight like an Agent 4!

The next half hour was a cacophony of Splattershot fire and Inkling shouts.

“Get closer first! They can’t attack you.”

“Aim up a little!”

“I-I can’t hit it from here!”

“Lead your shots; get a feel for the speed of ‘em!”

“O-outta ink again?”

“See if you can lob those Bombs!”

“I… I got ‘em!”

Marie had to admit, the firing range looked pretty good in green, but it was getting harder to see Cull’s shots. Besides, even if he was getting more accurate, she found his movement a bit lacking. If she couldn’t get that straightened out, all the basic tracking ability in the world wouldn’t stop him from being turned into grilled sesame squid.

Cull was starting to find a comfortable groove. At least half his shots were hitting the moving targets – he even popped a couple of them now and then! He was starting to feel good about using the Splattershot. If only he had gotten this kind of practice before…

“Hey, kid—”

Out of sheer reflex, he spun around, firing wildly into Marie’s umbrella. It only took a second for him to sheepishly release the trigger, but he still felt it was far too long. He wasn’t sure if Marie’s unfazed eyes made it better or worse, but he wasn’t ready to make eye contact.

“Okay, that’s enough inking,” she said, calmly shaking her umbrella dry. “What say we take a break for a few, huh?”

Cull looked back at the moving dummies he was aiming at. He felt like he only got started - shooting targets was surprisingly easy to pick up.

“I… could go a few more rounds…”

Marie shook her head, giving a small smile.

“C’mon, lunch’ll be on me! You want pineapple-free pizza, or a hot dog or something?”

Agent 4’s stomach answered for him. He didn’t even notice how much of an appetite this adventure was giving him.

“M-maybe a little break…”

He followed Marie to the door. Sheldon watched through the window, and pressed a button on his desk. From several panels in the ceiling came at least twenty small Squee-Gs, already making short work of Cull’s ink as the two of them shut the door behind themselves.

***

After a detour and quick change of clothes, Cull met up with Marie at Mako Mart. His beanie was once again covering his sloppy bowl cut comfortably, his shirt was a more muted color than the yellow hoodie, and his shorts weren’t so tight anymore. Marie noticed an ever-so-slight change in demeanor; instead of sheepishly creeping around, trying not to be seen, he was slowly walking around a bit more casually… trying not to be seen.

The two of them joined the throng of Inklings that were entering the food court; the air conditioning alone made this the coolest place in Inkopolis right now. The line was a little long, but it was moving quickly; they’d have to tip the folks here generously. Soon, they were at the front of the line, with a Jelly awaiting their order.

“Yeah, I’ll take a slice of seafood pizza…and a small Tanker Cola, thanks.”

Marie turned to Cull, gesturing for him to order next. He was silent for a bit, but finally spoke, rubbing his arm awkwardly.

“…a Veggie slice and a…a large Lamprede, please.”

“Sure, fruit punch, orange, or algae?”

Oh, Cod. Cull was not prepared to say much more.

“Um, o-orange?”

The Jelly nodded, ringing them up and getting them two trays. They were lucky to find a table at all, but it was one in the middle, surrounded by everyone else. Cull’s mouth felt dry. Meanwhile, as they sat down, Marie did a double take at something behind him. He turned around to see nothing weird; just an Inkling with that new hairstyle – one big tentacle on the head, with the others tightly packed behind.

“Oh, yeah, Pearl was… was t-talking about the new hairstyle trends…” he said, guessing that’s what she was referring to. “Getting p-pretty big, I hear…”

Marie slowly nodded, trying to ignore the way Cull pulled his hat further down. After a moment of seeing the newer, fresher hairstyles all around, from bulbous afros to slicked-down tentacles, she shrugged and continued eating.

“So… you think you’ll be up for one or two more today?” Marie asked.

Cull gagged on his drink.

“Um…w-what…?”

“You heard me,” Marie said. “There’s more of ‘em out there, and they’re not gonna save themselves, you know?”

“…S-should we really be talking about this here--?”

“Talking about what here?” Marie asked, innocently.

Cull sputtered, and then sat back and sighed.

“…You’re right,” he finally mumbled.

“Hmm?”

“I said you’re right,” he mumbled, a little more loudly.

Marie was kicking herself for not being able to lip-read, and just stared for a moment trying to process what he said in the crowded food court. This did not go unnoticed by Cull, as his eyebrows went from their perpetual worry to mild frustration.

“You’re right!” he said, a little louder than he had to. He could immediately feel several eyes pointed his way for a few seconds, and so he slumped into his chair again. Marie’s look of pity was not helping.

“Y-you wanna just---”

“Let’s j-just go…”
