Off-Camera Crush
Pairing: Lizzie Olsen X reader
Summary: When the off screen chemistry is better than the on screen
Words: 3,147
Warnings: none
“You two just aren’t right for each other” Y/n protested
“I can’t believe you’d say something like that. How could you say that? you’ve been my biggest supporter during my relationship, What changed? Why are you acting like this?”Elizabeth exclaimed
“Because you belong with me!! Okay -”
“CUT!” The director cut the two of you off in the middle of your scene “That was wonderful! Fantastic as always but Y/n I really need you to say those last few lines with more emotion, I really want you to get into character- you’re pining after Lizzie's character, and you’ve loved her for years and now she’s engaged and you’re confused and hurt, I need to see that in your eye’s, I want to hear the voice cracks, really show me ok?”
You nodded, little did the director know what he’d just described was practically what you were experiencing, you’d had a crush on Elizabeth Olsen since the moment you had met her- I mean obviously, you thought she was pretty before but actually meeting her was an entirely new experience. 
She was so friendly and professional, but at the same time you had to admit she was a bit intimidating, you were just a small actor then- a minor character in a movie that had very little screen time but she still took the time to come over and say hello to you, she was charming and dare you say a little flirtatious -that was 3 years ago, and ever since then you’ve been following her career path like a mouse follows cheese, so it was no surprise you auditioned for yet another movie you heard she was going to be in, what was a surprise, however, was finding out you got the role and 6 weeks later you were on set getting hair and make-up done. 
The role you had landed was no ordinary role either, you were cast as Lizzie’s character’s best friend/ eventual love interest, which you had to admit you were quite nervous about, chemistry with Lizzie comes easy though, and from the second you guys had met on set she had instantly recognized you, and you two hit it off from there. 
Now here you were months into filming already on your last few scenes of the movie and you two were practically inseparable, which was a perfect match for your characters but horrible news for you considering your crush on her had not gone away and a make-up artist could only do so much to hide your blush every time you two got close. Though in reality, it was very in character.
Scenes where the two of you got intimately close like cuddling on a couch or fixing each other's clothes seemed to be a challenge for the both of you- as the directors often had you two redo those scenes quite a few times, you couldn’t help it, there was no wikiHow for how to be close around your crush and still remember your lines, although Lizzie was no better either: often stuttering through lines or standing a bit too stiffly, but now here you were a month later and though the tension had lessened, both of you knew what was coming up- your character confesses to Lizzie's during a fight and both of them realize they had been pining for each other for years, they kiss, they cry, Lizzie calls off her engagement and you set up the end scene for a sequel in a year or two- sounds easy right? Wrong. Very wrong. 
You two had been on your fourth retake of this scene and you could tell everyone was getting tired so you decided to take the director's advice and channel something personal- while Elizabeth wasn’t in a relationship currently, it wasn’t hard to imagine her with one of her ex costars- you’d seen all the fan edits, you imagined all their couples photos on Instagram, them announcing their engagement, being invited to the wedding, you could feel the jealousy in your throat and the tears forming in your eyes as they yelled action
“You two just aren’t right for each other!” You divulged, your fists clenching by your sides
“I can’t believe you’d say something like that. How could you say that? What changed? Why are you acting like this?” Lizzie retorted, tears at the corners of her eyes
“Because you belong with me!! Ok?? Because fuck- I’m jealous of the way he gets to touch you and I can barely bring myself to look at you anymore without picturing you in my arms. I’m so stupidly in love with you and I don’t know how it happened but here I am head over heels for a girl who’s in love with another man.” you paused, a sigh leaving your lips, your character tenses and then releases her shoulders in defeat
“ ….I’m sorry that was a lot, I think I should go-”
Your monologue was interrupted with a kiss- as scripted- but still, Lizzie’s lips were on yours, and they were so soft, and you didn’t even realize you had been crying until Lizzie's hand came to wipe away the tears on your cheeks (not scripted). You both smiled into the kiss, reveling in the moment before you backed away “i-I don’t understand, I thought you loved Jonathan” You confessed confusedly
Lizzie smiled softly “I convinced myself that you could never like me back so I got with Jonathan to try and get over you, I thought I was in love with him but with every little thing he did I found myself thinking about what you would have done, and then he popped the question and you were there holding the camera and smiling and I didn't know what else to say but yes”
“ I don’t know maybe a ‘no’ “ You said sarcastically and Lizzie slapped you playfully
“So…what happens now?” Lizzie asked
“I’ve got a few ideas” You smirked leaning in closer to Lizzie once again before the director was yelling “Cut!” again. The two of you quickly jumped away from each other at the close proximity, you didn’t know about her but you were blushing so hard it must have been showing even underneath all the powder on your face. 
You avoided eye contact as the director came over to talk to you two, “That was great ladies! Truly the best shot we’ve gotten so far, this is where we will end filming for the night, everybody pack up!” and so you were rushed off to your trailer to get your hair and make-up undone but your mind was completely elsewhere, you tried to keep small talk with your stylists but it was no use, and you had to explain to the makeup artist that the blush did come off, your cheeks were just a bit rosy with ‘adrenaline’. A knock on the door is what interrupted you from your thoughts, one of the film crew members opened the door once you’d told them to come in 
“Hey Y/n, a few of us are going out to drink just to destress and celebrate a bit if you want to join?” he asked
“Oh yeah that sounds like fun, do you know if...Lizzie is going to be there?”
“She said she’d like to stop by, you know she doesn’t really drink much though”
“Right right, yeah I’ll try to be there, text me the details”
“You got it!” he exclaimed before shutting the trailer door
Great, now you had to find something to wear for tonight.
“You know Elizabeth actually recommended you for the role”
You were halfway through your drink when the costume designer decided you needed to choke on your soda of choice
“I’m sorry what?!” you blurted out
“Well, it was more like- she saw that you had auditioned and gave her input that she thought you’d be a perfect fit for the role, turns out she was right!” they patted you on the back before walking away nonchalantly, leaving you there with the mess that was your brain, Elizabeth fucking Olsen helped you get a role…as her love interest, and here she was now entering the bar and greeting everyone… and heading in your direction. 
It reminded you of when you’d first met her, you’d been standing near a table with snacks, sipping lightly on water and trying not to mess up the make-up your make-up artists would 100% kill you for ruining. You didn’t even register that it was her at first when she’d approached the table and grabbed a sparkling water before turning to you
“Hi, I’m Elizabeth I don’t think we’ve met” Your eyes widened as you realized The Elizabeth Olsen was talking to you. 
“Yeah i- Hi, hello!” you barely managed to stutter out, she just smiled in return
“I was watching you out there, you’re a natural honestly” Talking to her was one thing but now she was complimenting you? 
“Thank you, that means a lot. This is my first time acting and not just being an extra so it’s really been an experience” 
“This is your first time? Wow, you’ve got to get into more movies, you bring so much to your character!”
You couldn’t stop the smile that spread across your face “That’s really sweet of you to say thank you i-”
“Can we get everyone back on set!” Elizabeth gave you an apologetic look and you waved her off with a smile, nothing could ever top this day.
-
You’d very obviously been wrong since now you’d gotten to film an entire romance movie with her as her Love Interest!
“Hey, stranger” is the first thing Lizzie says when she approaches you at the bar. You snort, says the person you were kissing less than two hours ago. You shake your head, it was just a stage kiss don’t get attached.
“ Ouch Olsen, we wrap up filming and suddenly I’m a stranger? Do you treat all your co-stars like this?” You receive a playful shove for your teasing but it only makes you smile wider. When had you been smiling?
“Only the ones I like” It’s physically impossible to stop the blush that blooms on your cheeks.
You take another sip to distract yourself. If only younger you could see you now.
You stare out at some of the cast and crew dancing to the lull of the music, god if only you weren’t so socially awkward. From the corner of your eye, you see Lizzie eyeing you curiously and you feel all of the hairs on your neck prick up.
You let your eyes slide over to her, her expression turning from curious to expectant. She had been the last one to talk- now it was your turn.
“So- am I going to be seeing a cake with your face on it anytime soon?” She snorts at that, a delicate hand running through her hair
“I think you’ve had too much to drink” You scoff, only half offended that she would think you could only be this funny when drunk
“You’ve wounded my D-list celebrity ego” You bring a hand to pat your heart, your expression turning solemn for just a second before a smile cracks through
“Oh well, we can’t have that” She rolls her eyes at your antics and decides to finally take the seat next to you. God knows why she chose to stand for that long in heels. 
“For your information Elizabeth,” you tilt your glass towards her “This is soda” Getting drunk wasn’t really a wise decision with all of the people around who could watch you embarrass yourself.
As you set the drink down her eyebrows shoot up in surprise “Really? So I won’t have to be protecting you from the paparazzi if you start a bar fight? Good.”
“Hey hey hey, no one said I had to be drunk to start a fight” You smile lazily at the sound of Lizzie’s chuckle. You would definitely lose in a fight, both you and Lizzie knew that.
“May I?” Lizzie’s hand hovers over your glass on the bar, and you nod your head in consent.
You watch as she takes a sip, your eyes paying far too much attention to her lips and the lipstick stain they leave behind. Your eyes follow her lips even after they’ve left the glass, flashes of earlier appearing in your mind. When your gaze finally returns back to hers you realize she’d been watching you that entire time. She definitely noticed. Fuck. 
You quickly swivel your body away from her while she orders her drink- the same thing as you, you notice.
You pick up your glass and take a swig in an attempt to cool any part of you, but when you pull the cup away from your lips you realize the lipstick stain is centimeters away from where your lips had just been. Shit, you almost shared an indirect kiss with her.
It didn’t matter that you’d actually kissed her hours ago- that was staged, this was different. Suddenly the air felt tighter and hotter than as was expected in a bar with bodies colliding with one another.
“y/n?” The soft voice pulls you out of your panic, you turn to see confused eyes staring back at you. Shit now you’ve embarrassed yourself, you don’t even need to be drunk to do that either.
“Sorry” you awkwardly chuckle trying to get past the moment, your brain can’t think of any excuse to give so you finish off the rest of your drink, careful to avoid the lipstick mark that mocks your hopelessness.
A moment later Lizzie brushes it off with a smile “I get it” Somehow you get the feeling that she really does understand. 
“I guess I’m just nervous about press releases and stuff” It wasn’t really a lie, you were nervous about those things. Being a small character in another film meant you never really did the interviews and promo’s but now you were a main character, and not only were you doing all of those things, but you were doing them with Elizabeth.
Your thigh warms and you realize it’s because there’s a hand that’s been placed there, you suppose it should be comforting but it was really just kind of turning you o-
“There’s nothing to be nervous about Y/n, you’re hilarious. The world is going to love you, it’s impossible not to” 
Your brows furrow at Lizzie’s words, what did she mean by that? It’s impossible not to love you? You shook your head, she definitely did not mean what you were thinking. I mean sure she’s gorgeous but you don’t even like her like that. It’s just the effects of the film getting to you.
But what if- 
Time seems to slow as you watch her eyes glance down at your lips before dragging themselves back up to your eyes, a small smirk tugs at the corner of Lizzie’s mouth.
What.
You stumble off of your bar stool, vaguely mentioning something about needing air.
You needed to get out of here.
You don’t hear Elizabeth calling for you as you stumble out of the bar, your chest is heaving rapidly, and your thigh tingles where her touch once was.
Shit. 
Somewhere along the way, the act of loving her stopped being an act. 
You lean against the wall of the bar
You were so stupid.
You were so fucked.
You were so-
“Y/n” God if you heard your name one more time from her lips you might explode. 
You slowly peel your eyes open to the sight of a concerned Lizzie, her lips are pursed and her eyes are searching yours for an explanation. 
You don’t think you can give her one.
Against your better judgment, your gaze lands on her lips once again, the lipstick is less bold due to her sipping her drink. You think about the way it would look as it peppered marks down your neck. Your body flushes at the thought. Now that you’ve realized how you feel about her you don’t think you can go back to the way things were. Not when thoughts like that popped into your head so easily. 
You only realize how long you were staring when Lizzie’s head tilts and her eyebrows lift in a silent question. 
Your heart aches to pull her in but your mind screams at you to run.
“I-” Your throat goes dry and you lick your lips in an attempt to remedy your speechlessness. The action draws the attention of the brunette, and this time you can’t fool yourself, she’s really staring at your lips
Her eyes darken, the sight of it makes your stomach fuzzy
“Lizzie” The sound of her name rolling off of your tongue has her focus back on you.
You were taking a big risk, you were potentially fucking up a perfect friendship but- the way she looked at you gave you the confidence you needed to place a hand on her cheek. She leaned into your touch, she no longer looked curious and hesitant, she was determined. 
And so were you.
You slowly pull her in, giving her the chance to back out if she wishes, but she stays there inches away from your lips, her soft breaths stutter before you pull her in.
Her lips are soft against yours, she tastes like sugar from the soda and you never want to taste the flavor any other way again.
Her hands drift up into your hair, gripping the base of your neck as she deepens the kiss. Your other hand goes to her waist, both of you pulling each other impossibly closer.
This can’t possibly be real. You expect to wake up from this blissful dream any moment but Lizzie’s tug at your hair assures you that this is really happening.
You’re fucking kissing Elizabeth Olsen.
Her mouth persuades yours to open as you two get lost in the taste of each other, the world faded away long before you kissed.
The honk of a car horn eventually startles the two of you out of your haze. You don’t back away from each other, choosing to stay in each other's embrace as you both catch your breath.
It’s then you realize how public of a place you’re in, and not wanting to share your moment with the world just yet you release your hand from Lizzie’s waist and slip it into her hand.
“I think we should get back to the hotel or I might have to be the one who saves you from the paparazzi” 
Lizzie’s eyes are bright with joy and mischief as you both head back to her car. 
With the way she glances at you every so often on the drive back you guess that your night is far from over.
A/n: wrote this at 2AM, somebody get me some mac n cheese and a pop-tart pls

Romance 101.
Tumblr media
Part 3 of the mute series.
How to get your crush to like you back? It’s not hard– according to the sites you visited on google. Sure, she might have ignored you a few times, might dislike you a tiny bit. But it was alright, you could get her to like you. You think.
Wednesday Addams x fem! Reader
Taglist: @kaitlynroseb @idkjustliving2 @angel-luv-04 @left-and-right-up-and-down @reginassweetheart @thekid4466 @engenelxver @rainbow-love4ever @thenextdawn @sanguis-lupus95 @an-incompetent-writer @alexkolax @ognenniyvolk
How to get your crush to like you back? It’s not hard– according to the sites you visited on google. Sure, she might have ignored you a few times, might dislike you a tiny bit. But it was alright, you could get her to like you. You think.
Your eyes found the raven haired girl who was seated across the room. You could do this.
1.put yourself out there.
“Wednesday, I heard of a new movie coming out this month.”
Wednesday lifted her head, looking up from her book. She furrowed her eyebrows, as if she’s not getting what you’re trying to say. 
“Wanna watch it? together, I mean.” 
You watched as her features hardened at your words. Uh oh.
She grabbed her pen that was rolling around on the desk, before scribbling on her paper. Once she had finished, she held it up to your eyes, almost too close for you to read. 
No. 
You smiled through the pain. Well, it was worth a try.
2. find out what your crush is passionate about.
“The only thing she loves is her dead scorpion.”
You groaned, slapping your hand over your head. “There must be something she likes that I can talk about without being uncomfortable!”
Enid shrugged, scrolling through her phone. sprawled over her mattress, you peeked through your fingers, staring at the ceiling above.
“Well, she certainly likes writing violent novels and pla—” Your friend’s words were cut off from the swing of the door. The pair jumped from the bed, snapping their heads towards the sudden motion.
“Wednesday!” Enid chuckled, “We were just talking about you.” 
The girl gave her a look, making her smile awkwardly. You could tell what she was thinking by that glare– it was obvious she wasn’t expecting you here, and didn’t want you to be here. Through that hurt like needles onto your heart, you managed to keep your face calm.
“So um, wednesday, what do you like?” You asked, sitting upright with your legs crossed. The girl’s glare traveled from the blonde to you, and you gulped under the tense air.
She kept her eyes fixated on you for a moment– before rolling her eyes, pulling her note and her pen out of her pocket. You gulped as the silence continued.
My favorite hobby happens to use a knife and a shovel. 
You raised your eyebrows. Okay, she doesn’t want to talk to you at the moment. Got the message.
3. make eye contact.
Wednesday’s sharp and unnerving look flashed in your mind. You laughed anxiously just by the memory of it.
Nope, not happening. You think, as you scrolled through the lists on wikihow.
4. Talk to your friend about them.
This will help you get a third person’s point of your relationship with your crush. Who knows, they might like you back!
“Hey, do you think Wednesday likes me? She ignores me a little, turns down all my attempts to hang out with her, but she could be a hard to get kind of girl for all I know.” 
Your friend tore her eyes away from her screen, turning to face you. You looked at her full of hope, almost pleading.
“I—“ she started, but was stopped by a figure passing by. Your attention was immediately drawn from her as you gasped.
“Wednesday! How are you today?” You beamed, your voice ringing through the hallways. 
It was either that your voice couldn’t be heard by her from the sea of people that surrounded you— or she just didn’t feel like talking to you. But she brushed past, not even giving you a glance.
You pouted, watching as the raven haired girl made her way through. “She’s just shy.”
“You know what?” Your friend said, “I was going to say that you’re right, she could be one of those hard to get girls, but I’m sorry, I personally think she hates you.”
You whined.
5. Touch incidentally.
Your heart was beating so fast you could almost hear it pounding loudly in your ears. Slowly, you slid your fingertips towards Wednesday.
Your fingertips met hers with electricity all over your skin. You shivered slightly.
Peering over, you studied her expression. Nothing. It was neutral, not changing, just her usual poker face. 
You were wondering if she didn’t notice the touch until she pulled away, standing up from her chair, dusting her uniform before walking away. 
Did you get rejected? You think so.
6. Tell her how much you appreciate her.
Your words were stolen from you the second you locked eyes with her. Moonlight kissing her skin, her hair cupping her face so, so beautifully you forgot how to talk once again.
She was exquisite.
“Um,” you stuttered, “I just wanted to say that—“
You glanced at her dark lips. The butterflies went frenzy in your stomach.
She raised her brows, running out of patience. 
“Nothing.” You managed, “I forgot what I was gonna say.”
You kept your smile on as the girl walked away. 
You chickened out. What a shame.
7. Spend time with her.
“Wednesday, are you—“
Your hands still gripped on the door handle, you halted in surprise. No one was in the dorm? Why wasn’t Wednesday there? She should’ve been here, waiting for your presence. It was the last day for her to meet you— well, last day for the project, anyways. 
Your eyebrows knitted in confusion, you scanned the room, looking for anything she could’ve left behind. Maybe she left for some water?
Cautiously, you stepped into the room before spotting a note on her desk. Ah ha, you cheered mentally. She did leave you something after all.
Excited, you made your way to the desk, picking the small paper up for you to see. 
Your grin faded away as soon as you read it.
I understand that you like me, but I do not take an interest in you. Please stop hoping, I am not your soulmate, and is not yours.
It was like being kicked in your guts. Yes, you realized, she’s not your soulmate. She was never your soulmate. She will not love you, and she doesn't feel the same way as you did.
Your little fantasy came crashing down, and it hurt. More than you’d like to admit.
You didn’t even notice your vision blurring up. The crack in your heart pained you so much, it distracted you from the teardrops falling down your cheeks.
She was never your soulmate. What were you thinking, hoping?
Soft whimpers leaving your lips, your mind chanting the same words over and over again. She was never yours. She was never yours.
She was never yours.
-
angst ;)
also hello, was that too rushed? I can’t tell :(

I just had the most diabolical soul crushing thought. So inexperienced schlatt & reader have finally worked their way up to doing the deed, and when they do it’s so soft and sweet, kisses everywhere, holding hands, talking eachother through it. CUDDLING DURING THE SEX TO FEEL CLOSE TO ONE ANOTHER.
oh anon... i love you. i love you dearly.
i already touched on this in my initial post but i'm so fucking glad to elaborate this is my favorite thing ever )):
nsfw under the cut, minors dni!! 18+ only.
so you don't really plan it out necessarily. you both know you want to go all the way but you're not sure if the other is ready. but schlatt really wants it with you so he goes as all out as he can.
making a spotify playlist for perfect songs for the night, taking you out to dinner (off campus) and just treating you like an absolute queen.
it's not ideal, he wishes he didn't have to take you back to his dorm room where his neighbors were the loudest, but he wants it to happen and will make it work.
his roommate is thankfully out with his own boyfriend (schlatt planned most with him so he knows not to go back in lol) so you have the room to yourself.
HE BOUGHT FUCKING. ROSE PETALS. (yes this man watched some of your favorite romcoms for inspiration. i want him so bad. im crying.)
"j, what is all this?"
"i wanted to make tonight special, 'cause your first time should be special."
"you're... you're ready?"
"yeah."
"me too."
then he's like wait and brings you back outside so he can attempt to carry you in. it doesn't really work, but you don't care. you're kissing him as soon as the door closes.
he's like wait lemme put on the playlist but you keep on kissing him so it's a struggle to get it on lmao.
HE TAKES YOUR CLOTHES OFF FOR YOU. THAT'S SO NEW BUT YOU ARE JUST SO CAPTIVATED CAUSE YOU WANTED THAT FOR A WHILE BUT WERE TOO SHY TO ASK. OMG.
AND THE WHOLE TIME HE'S MARVELING AT HOW BEAUTIFUL YOUR BODY IS.
"j, you've seen it all before, though."
"doesn't make it any less beautiful."
his hands are all over you when you both sit on the bed and make out some more. you just love kissing each other so much like ohhhhhh😭
you do some foreplay, lots of what you've done before, but it feels like the first time again. like that intimacy of sharing the moment together is just so special.
and as i said before, he's too caught up in the moment to realize he doesn't have condoms with him. he's panicking lowkey because he wanted everything to be perfect and now he messed this up and...
"j, i'm pretty sure the ra's have them. and if not, we can just run to the pharmacy or something."
"but i had this all planned out. i wanted it to be perfect-" you shut him up with a kiss.
"it is perfect."
he comes back from the ra's office with too many condoms. you're giggling at how they're all falling out of his arms and teasing the shit out of him.
"you could have gotten a few!"
"shut up." and he kisses you right after. oh fuck. that was really hot.
you both don't know how to put a condom on so he pulls up fucking WIKIHOW to do it. all while you're kissing down his neck to tease a bit.
a song you imagined playing during your first time starts right as he gets on top of you and you are just. in heaven. this is the perfect moment.
as i said before, he's really nervous about actually putting it in, you both know it might hurt or feel weird AND HE DOESN'T WANT TO HURT YOU OH MY GOD...
but you tell him you'll be okay. and he says you can stop any time if it hurts or if you're uncomfortable.
he takes your hand into his, assuring you you can squeeze it if it hurts or anything.
it is a little bit painful at first. it's different than his fingers, a lot more to take in, but he goes slow so you can get used to the feeling.
you do find yourself squeezing his hand a lot, not really from pain but from the new sensation of being stretched out further. but it actually feels really good.
his pace is a bit awkward and uneven when he starts moving, but once he gets used to it, oh my god?? and he just looks so pretty on top of you, his hair is sticking to his forehead, he's whimpering at how good you feel around him.
as i said before, he doesn't last very long. he finishes before you do and he's like oh no because he wanted you to finish as well. but you tell him it's fine and not to worry.
he's so cuddly )): like he's hugging you and kissing your neck apologizing that you couldn't get to finish but you reassure him that you can do it again later.
(later that night you do get to and it's really hot like it's your best orgasm yet. and he's so happy because HE made you come that hard. HE DID. AAAAAAAA)

Today I realized he doesn’t like me like that and he never will. Just the way he spoke to me and about me indicated he doesn’t see me as anything more than a kid, a friend, a girl.
I should’ve known. It wouldn’t have hurt as much, knowing I’ve misread every single sign and signal. Knowing I’ve been a fool with zero chance this whole time. Well, I think I did know, but it’s just easier to ignore and dismiss the truth than to admit it and give up. I didn’t want to give up. To give up him.
Yet even after all of this, I still like him. Begrudgingly, unwilling, achingly. And it’ll be hell getting over him.

PART 24: OH...HI
after months and too much longing, you finally meet corpse in person.
─── corpse husband x reader ─── soc. media + written fiction! ─── word count: 3.8k
author’s note: we did it joe.
ultimate masterlist.  ҉  myso masterlist   ҉   previous. ҉   next.
✼  ҉  ✼  ҉  ✼  ҉  ✼  ҉  ✼  ҉  ✼
Tumblr media
✼  ҉  ✼  ҉  ✼  ҉  ✼  ҉  ✼  ҉  ✼
You woke up. That’s a lie, you didn’t sleep. Too much to plan, too much can go wrong and you’re...Not nervous, no, that’s not quite accurate. Excited. Yes, excited, so excited that two Redbulls and three coffees (so far!) make you jitter around the apartment like a butterfly that can’t find a flower bed to rest on. 
Rae has almost had enough of your...random spurts of energy. So what if you ran a few laps, climbed a few tables, sang karaoke a bit too loud and yet another noise complaint had been issued? It arrived exactly an hour after your concert via your displeased landlord. Rae was, of course, the one to apologize because you were too busy trying on miniskirts. After that ordeal was taken care of, no sooner than Rae shut the front door with an exhausted sigh, you emerged from your room clad in your prettiest outfit. You present it to her with a bright smile and flourish. 
She is not impressed.
“Will you quit it?” She questions, arms crossed over her chest. Your grin does not damper -- you’re used to such harsh treatment, having accepted her backhanded way of showing love long ago. Instead, you flick your wrists, showing off an ungodly amount of rings. You’re not certain of the exact number because you can’t count, “Y/n.” Her voice gains an edge, but you persist. Show off your shoes that have cute lil’ charms that jingle jangle not unlike the spurs on a hot cowgirl’s boots, “Y/n.” Her eyes narrow in displeasure, her stern tone making you falter in your dramatic stride down the imaginary catwalk, “Just stop.”
Okay! So maybe you’re not as used to her coldness as you thought you were. Your expression sours, and you quit the act, even if a part of you - one you barely fight off, goodness, you almost perish in that battle - wants to continue but even more annoying. As if you could somehow block her rationality with manic energy. 
“What?” You ask, trying to keep the mood lighthearted despite her squared shoulders and tight frown, “I’m just having a bit of fun!” You say with a joyous little laugh, reaching for a glass of much needed water.
“No, you’re panicking.” Her words make the glass still, hoovering by your painted lips, but it’s short lived. You take a greedy gulp and it tastes fresh with a pinch of lipstick, “Look, I get it...” She shakes her head softly, “You’re meeting the guy you like for the first time, you jumped the gun straight to dating and now you’re...Anxious. It’s normal, you know.”
“But I’m not anxious.” You persist, and you really do mean it. You don’t like how she looks at you as if you’re the one that’s misunderstanding your own feelings. You set the glass down with a soft clink, heaving your own sigh, “I’m not, I’m really happy actually.” You explain softly, “It’s just...my way of dealing with it. I’m more... Worried about Corpse, to be honest.” You add, a tad quieter, “But, like, it’s all good!” You exclaim, strolling up to her and landing your hands on her shoulders, “I prepared.”
And it’s true! You had spent the night scouring the depths of the internet. Read every WikiHow article on how to deal with someone with extreme anxiety, how to not make things painfully awkward, and how to talk to boys (just in case. The last time you stumbled upon that particular article was way back in middle school when you had a crush on that one guy you saw in your school’s cafeteria every now and then. Naturally, that led you down the rabbit hole, and according to WikiHow’s How To Tell If A Boy Likes You guidebook, you found out that he was absolutely enamored with you because he glanced in your direction, like, two times. Safe to say that love story went nowhere. The point still stands). 
So you forward all of this information to Rae, nestled in her bed whilst she lazily folds her clothes; clarify that you know that nothing much can happen, and that this whole situation is delicate, and that you must tread carefully because you don’t want to overwhelm him. She pauses her actions, glancing behind her to watch you staring idly at the ceiling, so peaceful, so thoughtful. And it’s not the eerie calmness you had displayed during your murderous spree in the last Among Us game, no, it’s just...quiet understanding. 
“I’m actually impressed.” She says. You merely hum, counting the dust slowly descending in the cascading light, “You’re not as clueless as I thought.” Your lips quirk into a shy smile at the compliment- “Or as tactless.” - and turn downward just as quick.
“That implies that I’m always tactless.”
“You are.” She states and you sit up, a soft frown pinching your brows, “Not like, in a terrible way. You just...don’t think about your actions. Or the repercussions. You just know that you can get away with everything.”
“And I can!”
“That doesn’t actually mean you should do something just because you can. You know I’ll always support you. Literally everyone will always support you. But I’m not gonna coddle you. You’re just...a lot. Online and especially in person. But the fact that you’re actually taking this seriously and taking his feelings into consideration is...well, the bare minimum, but still, good job.”
...Much to think about. You don’t like thinking, it makes your head hurt. Though, that could just be the lack of sleep. You cross your legs and plop your head in your hand, tired eyes blinking owlishly, “Do you...think I should change what I’m wearing?”
Prompted by your question, she gives you a careful once over, “I mean, it’s signature you.”
“Signature me is a hoodie and some sweatpants.”
She smiles, “Then go change. Your outfit is a bit distracting for just...Hanging out indoors, no? I’m sure he wouldn’t mind either way, though.”
“I just...” You bite the inside of your cheek, mulling your words over. Truly, the last time you were so attentive was when you went Psycho Mode in Among Us, which, to be fair, wasn’t that long ago. Perhaps there wasn’t a chance to let your mind dull - it’s almost as sharp as your butterfly knife, “I figured that if, like,” You vaguely motion with your hands, “if I be, like, all over the place, and wearing something cute, he’d be, like, distracted? And less anxious? No...awkward silence?”
“First meetings are always awkward, it’s natural.” She chimes, “I mean, if you’re so nervous-”
“I’m not nervous!”
“-then just don’t overthink it. I know it’s easier said than done, but you’re you, and Corpse is Corpse, and he likes you for who you are, and even if it is a bit awkward, I’m sure it’ll, like, blow over in a second. It really doesn’t matter how you look, Y/n.” She grins, “Plus, it’s not like you’re greeting him in your underwear or something.”
You will not admit that that was your plan B, not when you just landed in her good graces. You nod, “...I’ll go change.” 
And so you do. Pick out your cutest hoodie and some sweatpants. Put away your jingle jangle shoes with a broken heart, instead of them donning your fluffiest socks; slip off some rings because they keep falling off of your fingers. It’s almost like all of those transformation scenes in rom-coms that are still popular for some reason, except you’re hot before and after, so there’s really no transformation at all. 
Now you wait. Just wait, all other activities are excluded from this. Rae comes back to find you sitting on the edge of your bed, back straight, hands neatly folded on your lap. She compares you to a Sim’s character and you allow her. After mercilessly mocking you and snapping a few pictures - for blackmail, you assume - she helpfully informs that she is leaving because she doesn’t want to get in the way, but your psychic abilities which you acquired just now tell you that she simply doesn’t want to witness this train wreck. Not that it’ll be a train wreck, it would be if you were nervous, but you aren’t. 
You just aren’t. You fidget with the rings adoring your hand; toy with the hem of your hoodie; bounce your leg up and down. It’s just caffeine, okay?! Fuck this, Twitter time.

[ADDING A MUSICAL INTERMISSION, LISTEN TO THIS IF YOU WANT (I WROTE THIS CHAPTER WITH IT IN MIND)]
The waiting commences, only now it somehow feels more intense. The sun is setting, and you really want to be one of those cute girls that fill their camera roll with pictures of the sunset and the roseate sky, but your hands are trembling and holding up your phone feels like too much of a hassle. You’d rather just sit there, alone in the apartment, in the pin-drop silence, extremely uncomfy and tense, as if waiting for the end of the world. 
A notification sounds off and your life flashes before your eyes. Hastily, you check it, a sticky mixture of delight and something else, something unpleasant constricting, making your stomach churn. He’s here. Holy shit, it’s happening. You order your anime plushies to stop fucking panicking, they’re like, totally embarrassing you at the moment! You wonder if they have their own little group chat, but instead of Totally Spies it’s called Total Embarrassment. Yikes, okay, that was harsh. After a good scolding, and a heartfelt apology for getting so heated, you smooth down the non-existent wrinkles on your modest outfit, and quickly waddle over to the electronic apartment thingie something something... you unlock the main door, okay!? This is for some reason feeling very not cash money, so you break out in a little dance number.
The doorbell does not sing that shrill, unpleasant tune; rather, there’s a soft knock on the apartment’s door, and you pause your shuffling, your renegade, and perk up at the imposing future hidden behind a slab of wood. Your heart beats a melody all on it’s own, and it’s loud, uncoordinated, like a musician that’s still familiarizing themselves with their instrument. And there’s that knock again, as uncertain as you’re feeling, and your clammy fingers latch onto the lock and turn it and now there is no more hiding - such a possibility is no longer an option; no more sporadic dances or sitting in disheartening silence and letting your thoughts weight you down.
You’re not quite sure what you were thinking about before you saw him in the threshold, head tilted slightly, fluffy dark hair obscuring the bags under his eyes, hunched, one ringed hand clutching onto the strap of his duffel bag, the other frozen mid-air, ready to knock one more time lest you didn’t hear him the first two. No, truly, you can’t, for the life of you, remember what all the fuss was about. 
“...Oh.” It’s a soft sound, so quiet, but not surprised, rather...relieved. Faint shimmers of a smile reach you, hidden behind a black face mask - the panini chic! You must stan a respectful king - but there’s something about the way he looks at you that makes you question it’s sincerity. He fails to return your gaze, rather choosing to stare somewhere over your shoulder. His eyes seem unfocused. Apprehensive. A wild thought occurs to you that he expected you to trick him somehow, and wild thoughts invade the land of your mind often, but never in such a way. You clutch the handle just a bit tighter.
His hand retreats to his side, up to his mask and you think he’s about to unhook it but he stills, and there’s panic there, as if he had been moving unconsciously, as if he hadn’t realized what he’s doing. He plays it off by idly scratching his cheek, muttering an equally quiet, “Hi.” to fill the silence.
Finally, your WikiHow knowledge can come in handy, along with your common sense, “Hey, pretty boy.” You mutter, pulling away from the door, “Make yourself at home!” You slide to the kitchen, your socks acting not unlike ice-skates cutting through the Arctic frost covered ground. You hope that with you occupied and not watching him as closely he’ll feel slightly more at ease. 
You’d like to hug him. Kiss him, definitely. But if he’s so uncomfortable that he can’t bring himself to shed his mask in your presence, then there’s really nothing you can do. 
You hear the door shut and lock behind you as you pull out two glasses from the cupboard, humming a song you can’t quite recall the name of. You ask him if he’d like something to drink - it was a short flight, yet a flight still, and planes always make you thirsty, and there you go talking his ear off. You end abruptly, but smoothly, like a true diplomat; if he notices, you have no way of knowing - he doesn’t provide even a hint. He’s hard to read, and literature was never your best subject. But you’re trying.
He sets his duffel bag down on a nearby chair, “I, uhhh,” His voice is raspy and low, another indication of a pathetic lack of sleep, “I...got you something, uhh, I dunno-dunno if I should...give it now, or?” He sends you a questioning glance, but it doesn’t linger. Your offer of drinks is momentarily forgotten, though you hardly mind. 
You grin, “Sure! I love gifts, gimmie gimmie.” You make grabby hands, and he snorts, and it would’ve sounded endearing if he didn’t sound so fucking tired. He unzips the bag, and you pad your way to him, mindful of personal space (something you, in most social situations, chose to pretend does not exist). You note his hands quivering lightly, just like yours had in the agonizing wait, but he hides it well. You wish you could hold them. You’re afraid to try.
He pulls out a black hoodie and you recognize the custom art on it instantly - it’s his merch. He presents it in awkward flourish, murmuring a “Tadaaaa” under his breath; your heart skips a pleasant beat, and you have to bite down on your lower lip lest you smile appears too big. The fabric is soft under your fingers, and you accept his gift with a dramatic bow, and he turns his head away with another little laugh. You’re chipping away at the ice around him; it’s a slow process, but it’s worth the effort.
Truly, your own hoodie is shabby in comparison - icky, how could you have ever worn such a thing in the first place?! You’ll have to do extensive research in fashion magazines and Printerest so such a slip-up may never happen again. You discard it hastily and put his on instead; it smells like washing detergent with hints of cologne, one you instantly pin point belonging to him, “It’s, uhhh, it’s mine? I hope you, uhh, I didn’t have any spare ones, so-I hope you don’t...mind.”
He’s finally looking at you, but he’s still tense, still hesitant, and you shake your head softly, “No,” You admit, “I like it even more now.” You pull on the hood, toy with the strings and yank them quickly; your face is concealed, save for your nose, “Comfy.” Your commentary is unmatched, best of it’s kind - eloquent and effortless, much like yourself.
Another small laugh reaches your ears, and it sounds a bit livelier than the others had been. Success!
“Stop that.” He says gently, and you see moving shadows; his hands loosen the strings and your face is revealed to him once again. He’s close now, and he doesn’t move away; his hands come to rest on your shoulders, warm even through layers of fabric, “I came all this way to see you, don’t hide your face from me.” 
Your eyes narrow playfully, your finger rapidly tapping away on his clothed cheek, “What’s all this then? Hm? Hm?” Instead of swatting your hand away, which you figured he’d do, he complies and finally tugs that fucking mask off. Your breath catches in the back of your throat and you halt your ministrations - truly, seeing him smiling on screen is nothing compared to him smiling in person. You can’t quite contain yourself any longer - your excitement might burst out in another dance number otherwise - as you throw your arms over his shoulders and pull him flush against you. He’s quick to return the embrace. Maybe it was all the encouragement he needed.
“Wow,” He mumbles, only slightly offended, “so I finally show my face to you, in person, and you just-...you just look away?”
“I’m hugging you, dumbass.”
“...Touche.”
Things fall into place after that, like a dozen puzzle pieces fitting together. He won’t let you go - he doesn’t want to. You put on some music, something easy and indie and that doesn’t require too much effort to listen to, as the two of you contemplate what to eat. Cooking by yourselves was dismissed due to the unstable relationship between yourself and cooking utensils. The stove and you had had a falling out recently, but this feud had started long ago, back in pre-school, with only short intervals of friendship. He listened to your extensive explanation absolutely enraptured and only moderately confused. 
So you settled on ordering pizza from Domino’s. You have no trouble calling or receiving phone calls, because you have no trouble doing anything, and he admitted that he only really calls you because he gets too anxious to do more, so you’re tasked with ordering the food. You accept this mission with pride.
You stand tall, gazing out the window into the wild California domain: massive buildings and towering eucalyptus trees, bleeding skyline and the sun slowly getting swallowed up by the ocean. Corpse looms behind you, with his arms snaked around your waist and his chin resting on your shoulder, looking at you through the corner of his eye. You wait patiently for the underpaid, overworked staff member to pick up, and once they do, you have the audacity to grin brightly and chirp, “Hi! I want pizza.”
Conversations flow smoothly, and you make hot chocolate - because you are hot and you crave chocolate - and he insists he wants one too, because you want one, and you don’t hesitate to overflow his cup with whipped cream and an ungodly amount of miniature marshmallows. A premature heart attack, just for him. Whoever said romance is dead has clearly never met you. When the doorbell chimes, you’re astounded that an hour flew by so quickly.
After the delicious meal, the movie night must commence. So what if you watched 10 Things I hate About You yesterday, you insist that you have already forgotten the plot. You lead him to your room and he tries not to stare, but can’t help himself. Pretty boy in a pretty girl’s room. His eyes linger on the massive posters of Chrollo on your walls, and you sense his displeasure rolling off of him in waves. 
“What?” You huff, fluffing the pillows, “You don’t like my husband?”
He jabs his finger into his chest, into the spot of his heart, “I’m your husband.”
“Side hoe, then-”
“-No.”
You didn’t lie when you said you love to cuddle, or that you’re clingy. It’s a good thing he’s just as clingy as you are, because when he lays down and you latch onto his side. He doesn’t complain, rather wraps his arm around pulls you close. His thumb draws lazy circles on your side; with your head resting on his chest, you feel each rhythmical rise and drop. 
The opening credits play on the projector, the room dark enough for your pile of plushies to look like a whole fucking human just standing in the corner. A ghost! Sucks for it, you’re not scared. You feel safe. Protected. So comfortable in Corpse’s hold that you’re honestly wondering how did you manage to be so long without him. To think all of this started when Sykkuno followed you on Twitter. What a lucky accident.
“Can I ask you something?” Your voice cuts through the bopping 90s soundtrack and Julia Stiles’ voice. He hums. You take it as a yes. Tilting your head upwards, you find his eyes again, a thorn of displeasure picking you as you note that that apprehension you had seen previously is still very much there, “...You really wouldn’t date me if I was a worm?”
His chest rumbles with a laugh and his lips split into a grin, “I would.” He presses your side for emphasis, “I really would.” He repeats, reassuringly. You, however, are not convinced.
“But I’d be a worm.”
“I know. We’d... roll around in the dirt together, or something.”
“But you’d be human.”
He frowns softly, “Why couldn’t I be a worm, too?”
“Those are the rules.”
“What kind of shitty fucking rules are those?”
“I dunno, it’s like the Thanos snap or something. I just turn into a worm. I’m the only one.”
“That’s fine.” He smiles, “I’d take you out on a fishing date or something.”
Shocked, offended, and heartbroken, you hit his chest and pointedly turn away with a pout, which he finds very funny for some reason, but you fail to see the humor anywhere except the movie. Despite the fact that he’d sacrifice you for a fish, you smile shyly and close your eyes. He did say you would take a nap together, and if he really thought you’d stay awake for movie night, well, then he’s just an idiot. You had decided you would fall asleep as soon as he was next to you. It’s a miracle you managed to stay awake for so long.
“...Sleeping already?” You don’t appreciate his teasing tone.
“’m not sleeping...” You murmur, “’m resting my eyes.”
“Sure.”
You’re not quite certain (of anything, really) how much time drifts by, but you’re nearly lost in unconsciousness, in the warm, nice feeling that comes along with him like a cloud. Perhaps he thinks you’re asleep, he has to, else he wouldn’t say anything at all, “You’re stuck with me now, you know.” It’s such a soft admission, riddled with the same notes of anxiety that always prevail in his speech; with the same hopeful sincerity he had been gazing at you the whole evening. 
Moving your lips is such a hassle, but you manage, “’m...stuck...” You mumble, “’m...stuck...what are you doing step-”
“No!” He laughs, and your lips quirk into a lazy smile, “No, no, no. Just no. Do you talk in your sleep?” You fake snore at that, loudly, “You’re like a little dragon.”
“...Fuck you.”
“Fine, a kitten, then.” That’s better. You feel something chapped, but soft, press onto your forehead, “Goodnight, Y/n.”
God, you’re so fucking happy. Does he know how happy you are? How happy he makes you? But you’re too tired for screaming and flailing around, too tired to even crack an eye open. You want him to know all the same, “...like you.” You whisper, but you don’t know if he hears you over the movie, “...I like you.”
His reply is instant, breathless, “I like you too.”
Good, you want to say, and maybe you do - can’t tell anymore. Sleep takes you too quickly.

buzzfeed said i like-like you..
— a lee felix x au
(half felix pov half y/n pov)
lee felix x gender!neutral reader genre: best friends to lovers
a/n: this is mainly in felix’s pov since i thought it would fit better, the next felix au will be in y/n’s pov (⊃。•́‿•̀。)⊃ and if you have any requests just ask away and i’ll try my best <3
Tumblr media
« masterlist
felix was currently very calm!! c a l m!!
certainly not panicking, nope not him!
it started when he flopped onto his bed in defeat after giving up on his art history essay
he could only analyze medieval paintings for so long >:((
so he ended up clicking on his folder of bookmarks and scrolling for the buzzfeed quiz one
dont judge him it was very relaxing !!
he did a couple weird ones like ‘what type of bread are you?’ (he was a challah bread apparently?!) and ‘what is your horror movie death scene?’ (he was going to be murdered!!)
he started clicking on the recommended ones until he landed on the romance section
he usually ignored these since they were typically very boring but just for the sake of it he chose one titled ‘are you in love with your best friend?
he scoffed as he let the quiz load and his mind wandered off to you
you and felix had met in grade school due to the both of you being the new kids and immediately being stuck together since no other kids wanted anything to do with you
and every since then you had been glued to the hip
he loved you sure, but being in love with you? he didn’t think he was.. he wouldn’t be opposed to it though
‘do you think your best friend is beautiful?’
obviously!! felix thought, choosing said option, how could he not? u were the most ethereal person he had ever been blessed to see, other then himself of course
‘when you get into arguments, are you reluctant to apologize and end it quickly or wait for them to apologize first?’
felix had to think about this one
you both didn’t rlly fight, it was usually over stupid things like the both of you needing to take care of yourselves more and such
but felix found himself apologizing more since he knew you were too stubborn to make the first move even if you wanted to
and whenever he did apologize you always broke down and did the same
he chose ‘i apologize first to get it over with’
‘do you often cuddle and kiss your best friend?’
doesnt everyone? felix thought, hovering his cursor over ‘duh!’
he often gave you cheek kisses and pulled you into hugs whenever he saw you, even if you were always shy and flustered afterwards
he thought it was cute to see you like that
and you often fell asleep in his bed during movie nights and the both of you woke up tangled into one another
now that he thought about it he didn’t really kiss his other best friends, he shuddered at the thought
‘would you get jealous if someone else were to kiss your best friend?’
felix frowned at the mere thought of someone else kissing you
only he could give you cheek kisses goddamnit !!
he wouldn’t be mad if jisung got kisses from someone else though, he’d be happy his friend had found a partner
but if you found a partner...he didn’t know how to feel about that
it would fall between wanting you to be happy and he should be making you happy
he quickly filled out the question and moved on, that was too much for him
the rest of the questions were things like ‘do you know their favorite color?’ ‘do you have their birthday memorized?’ (yes to both!)
he clicked done and waited for his old laptop to boot up the results
Tumblr media
oh...O H
WTF ?/$:&:@;
felix squinted at screen once more before pulling up a google tab
Tumblr media
he went through multiple wikihow articles before just shutting down his laptop and taking his head into his hands
did he have a crush on you??? weren’t crushes supposed to give you butterflies and shit?
well...he did get butterflies whenever you complimented him,,,
oh shit he did have a crush on you
he dove headfirst into his pillow and kicked his legs before sitting up, coming to a conclusion
he couldn’t just hold this vital piece of information to himself!!
and that’s how felix found himself in front of your dorm building, freezing in nothing but basketball shorts and a hoodie he was pretty sure he stole from you
Tumblr media Tumblr media
felix came barreling towards you, picking you up in a hug despite his tiny size
once he finally stopped spinning you and set you down was when you have him a confused look
“your welcome over whenever but why the sudden visit at 3am?” you ask, leading felix towards your dorm room
“fun news!! i realized i’m in love with you, thanks to a buzzfeed quiz!” he answered, doing jazz hands as you locked the dorm door behind you
“you’re...what now?” questioning if you heard right, ignoring your heart beat thumping loudly against your chest
“yeah like, i’m in love with you and realized it just now so i came here to tell you and-,”
/!&:@:@;@;@@, you were malfunctioning
how was?? felix so?? casual?? about this??
u had known you were in love with him since like /forever/ aND THIS MF JUST REALIZED A MINUTE AGO??
and you told him so, stalking towards him and reaching him in just two strides, shaking his shoulders
“what took you so long oh my god-,”
“wait does this mean you feel the same? cus if not it’s cool we can be homies ahah-,”
you did the cliche thing where you shut him up with a kiss
it made him go ∴◠‿◠∴
“we are not homies-,”
“we’re homies with benefits!”
*deep sigh*
from then on your relationship didn’t change that much
you were just best friends who know kissed one another and made out
bonus: headcanons
felix took on a new routine of coming over to your place at the ass crack of dawn
it drove you mad but you never slept anyways so you always opened the door
which was why felix came over in the first place!! to seduce you into a healthy sleeping schedule ;)
“y/n you would look so good tucked into your covers, all warm and cuddly as i hug you close-,”
“are you really trying to seduce me into sleeping right now??”
“...well is it working?” felix winked
“...maybe.”
(side note felix’s morning voice was to die for so if staying up late got felix to come over then that was another excuse for you to not sleep)
and since he was a dance major you always bought him bouquets and gifts after every single showcase
one time you got him a bunch of red roses and when you guys went back to his place he stuck one in his mouth and pulled you into a slow dance
it didn’t last very long though cus a thorn was left on the stem and caught his lip and you ended up having to help stop the bleeding
he still gave you a smile throughout it all though
“you look so creepy smiling with a mouthful of blood-,”
which made him smile even bigger
college with your best friend was fun but was even more fun with your boyfriend
the two of you often went on double dates with your friends jeongin and jisung, who recently got together, and had a blast going to parties
felix was a clingy drunk
if you thought he was clingy before just you wait
he would latch onto your arm like a koala and let you drag him around
and he would back hug you as you walked around
it was endearing though so you always let him get away with it
but if felix got too much to drink all hell broke loose
you still have flashbacks to that one time he started stripping on the pool table
you got a nice sight of his abs but so did everyone else !!
felix was willing to do anything with you and vice versa
if you even had the smallest inconvenience he was there to help
like that one time your coffee wouldn’t come out of the vending machine he karate kicked it until it did, and dragging you to run away when he spotted a hall monitor walking towards you
all in all he made you happy
it was perfect :’)

thank you for reading !!

trying to be nice to their crush hcs
navi | masterlist | taglist
thank you to 🍦anon for this cute request!
Tumblr media
characters: tsukishima, kyōtani, sakusa & suna
content warning: swearing & sexual references 
Tumblr media
kei tsukishima 
♡ this is all yamaguchi’s fault (︶^︶)
♡ he found out tsukki had a crush on you bc he mentioned you a lot in conversation so yamaguchi interrogated him for answers then lo and behold, the beanpole had a lil thing for you 
♡ you sit in front of tsukishima in homeroom while yamaguchi sits beside him so when you leaned back and asked him if you could borrow a pencil and he spat back a snarky remark about you being too irresponsible to care for your own pencils, yamaguchi hastily offered you one of his own before scolding tsukishima 
♡ he explained to his clueless friend that being nasty to people isn’t a good way to get them to like you 
♡ so perhaps he should be nicer :)
♡ honestly, tsukishima would’ve just looked yamaguchi straight in the eyes and went ‘no’, if it wasn’t for the fact you shot tadashi the sweetest smile anD PLAYFULLY BLEW HIM A KISS AFTER HE JUST GAVE YOU A DAMN PENCIL LIKE WTF 
♡ after that, he decided to give up his current personality and pick up a new one 
♡ jk jk 
♡ but he had to binge a whole bunch of those youtube psychology videos that are like ‘psychological tricks to make people like you’ and ‘THESE 5 MIND TRICKS WILL MAKE YOU THE MOST POPULAR PERSON *EVER*’!!
♡ spoiler alert: he wasn’t the most popular person but perhaps that was bc he only went to the effort of using those tricks on you 
♡ god bless him; he tries hard, he really does. (not his best, just hard)
♡ but you don’t have to be extremely observant to realise that he’s began acting different around you and of course, it confused you seeing tsukishima being nice
♡ what irritated you was how dismissive he was being of your questions though, as he was clearly trying to lead you to believe that you were crazy and he’s just always been a nice guy 
♡ but as soon as he figures out that he angered you, he’ll instantly switch back to him normal self - draining his mind of the hours of phycology studying he did last night to just pretend like it never happened 
♡ and if he’s feeling flirty, he might be extra mean to you ( ̄︶ ̄)
♡ also he makes a mental note to never take yamaguchi’s romance advice ever again 🙄
♥ ♡ ♥ ♡ ♥ ♡ ♥
you sighed, removing your hand from your bag after desperately rummaging through it in search of a pencil once again - deja vu. once you accepted that a pencil wasn’t going to materialise out of thin air, you peered over your shoulder and tapped the corner of yamaguchi’s desk, who wore a suspicious grin which you decided against questioning. 
“yamaguchi, do you think i could borrow a pencil again? sorry, this is the last time, i swear. i’ll be sure to get some on my way home after school tod--” 
yamaguchi dropped the line him and tsukishima had rehearsed many times beforehand, while clutching his pencilcase dear to his chest, “woah, (y/n). you’re so irresponsible. sorry, i can’t lend one of my pristine pencils to someone who is too forgetful to remember to buy some; what if you forget to return it to me?” 
tsukishima cringed at how forced it sounded but he couldn’t help but admire yamaguchi's dedication to his role. this allowed tsukishima to swoop in, pencil in hand, “here.” that wasn’t in the script but he panicked! okay, now, eye contact. 
you just sat there and stared at both of them with the most dumbfounded look plastered on your face. what just happened?  why were they both acting like they were in drama class?  and why are they both so bad at acting? they’re both passing performing arts for fucks’ sake!
Tumblr media
kentarō kyōtani 
♡ sorry but i firmly believe kyōtani is the sorta guy to be extra mean to ppl he fancies smh
♡ the rest of them just act (somewhat) like themselves around their crush but kyōtani is himself2 (himself^2)
♡ like one time yahaba found you trembling in your locker bc you had gotten mud on mad dog’s white shoes so he chased you through the hallways of the school, threatening to trek mud on your forehead 
♡ yahaba took it upon himself to investigate as to why kyōtani was so rude to you and he got his answer as soon as he mentioned your name to mad dog and the boy’s face immediately flushed red 
♡ so after practise, yahaba schools mad dog on how to get chicks (⌐■_■)
♡ in short, his advice was ‘good guys get laid’ and for kyōtani’s understanding, ‘good’ and ‘kind’ were interchangeable 
♡ mad dog wasn’t completely oblivious to how he treated you and he was aware that he was far from ‘kind’
♡ although he usually doesn’t listen to people in general, yahaba seemed to know what he was talking about so he figured there was no harm in trying to be nice 
♡ but ngl, he just spent the rest of the day wondering...what is kind?
♡ after a few messages back and forth with yahaba, he figured that the best place to start was by apologising for - y’know - chasing you around the whole school 
♥ ♡ ♥ ♡ ♥ ♡ ♥
“oi!” kyōtani bellowed through hallway, paying no mind to the students that cast him dirty looks as his sights were locked on you. standing unsuspecting by your locker, stuffing your textbooks into your bag until you heard his deep voice echo through the hall, to which you visibly perked up and began frantically looking around.
he marched towards you, hands in pockets and when you noticed him out of the corner of your eye, you were more than ready to drop all your shit and bolt away. but he didn’t let you as before you were able to take off on your heels, he grabbed your shoulder and spun you around to face him - then he noticed your hands raised in defence by your face and your head hung low.
his heart sank and his grip on your shoulder immediately softened, “i’m not gonna punch you, idiot.” he spat, rolling his eyes and gritting his teeth, trying to appear angry in hopes you’d mistake his light blush for pure rage. 
“i just wanted to say that i felt bad for chasing you through the halls yesterday - you didn’t stand a chance so i guess it was a bit unfair.” he said, frowning as you replied with silence so the duty fell on him to fill it, “and i got the stain out, anyway so.” 
more silence. lovely.
suddenly, he puffed his cheeks out as his eyes snapped to meet yours and he roared, “ARE YOU GONNA FUCKING SAY SOMETHING OR ARE YOU TOO BRAINDE-”
“are you wearing eyeliner?” 
and that was the true story behind why you missed last period, because you and kyōtani had a 30 minute conversation about eyeliner and make-up, then he convinced you to skip the rest of class with him so he could buy you ramen as an apology gift.
so yeah, he figured that perhaps he should try being nice more often.
Tumblr media
kiyoomi sakusa
♡ he didn’t need someone to tell him to be nicer, he’s just predisposed to attempt to show kindness to someone he is fond of
♡ in his mind, showing kindness, respect and stripping himself of all his personality = the only way to be desirable 
♡ (ofc this takes place before he meets atsumu tho lol)
♡ so it’s not the realisation that’s the problem for him, it’s the execution 
♡ like how is he supposed to be nice without either sounding creepy or condescending? 
♡ *cut to sakusa practising in the bathroom mirror* ‘your hand looks- no-’ he scoffs, flicking cold water onto his face, ‘your hair looks cool- pretty- nice?’
♡ *camera pans to sakusa laying in bed, staring intently at the ceiling while imagining vivid and scarily detailed scenarios about ways he could mess up while talking to you* 
♡ *camera zooms in on sakusa’s face as he manifests a nicer version of himself*
♡ he might - depending on how insecure he is - watch one of those psychology videos or read a wikihow for help
♡ but other than that, he independently tries to alter his personality in order to gain your favour bc..true love ?
♥ ♡ ♥ ♡ ♥ ♡ ♥
you smiled as a basketball rolled up to your feet during gym class, followed by the sound of someone approaching you and upon raising your gaze, your eyes met sakusa’s unmistakable black ones. his face hovered only a few inches away from yours due to the fact you had both reached down to pick up the ball at the same time.
he quickly pulled himself away, tucking the basketball under his elbow as he adjusted his mask so it properly covered his face to ensure that you didn’t see the light blush slowly spreading across his cheeks. he then proceeded to blurt out what he had been rehearsing for the past few nights, “oh, thank you, (y/n). your hair looks lovely today, by the way.”
you giggled, holding your hands firmly by your side to avoid fidgeting and making it obvious that his sudden comment flustered you, “thanks, sakusa. and, if we’re handing out compliments today, i didn’t know you were good at any sport other than volleyball but you’re doing surprisingly well at basketball.” you joked, your lips slowly curling into a cocky smirk, “though, i don’t think you’d stand a chance against my team.” 
god, you’re such a tease. you make it so hard for him to be nice to you. so, of course, your comment returned his ability to utter almost every sarcastic comment that comes to mind - screw being likeable. “you think so?” he quirked a brow, tossing the ball onto your lap then pacing backwards, “go on, then.”
Tumblr media
rintarō suna
♡ it was probably those tips on social media that told him he has to be nicer 
♡ and plus he saw terushima get all the chicks and he was just sitting there like ‘where are my bitches at? 🥺’
♡ anyway, all the guys on social media that had girls lining up outside their door always had one thing in common: misogyny  obnoxious personalities !!
♡ and his whole personality was a sacrifice suna was willing and ready to make for just a crumb of cooch  🤲
♡ though you weren’t exactly his crush yet, suna thought you were the best person to carry out this experiment with bc he heard through the grapevine that you had a crush on him so perhaps this would make you happy
♡ he didn’t prepare much beforehand though which he immediately regretted as soon as he approached you bc admittedly, his game plan of ‘be self-assured but friendly’ was a bit vague 
♡ so he basically just had to bullshit through a whole, awkward conversation with you while wearing a forced ‘bold’ smirk which, in reality, looked as though he had just seen tiddies for the first time 
♡ hardly self-assured or friendly 
♡ also, the fact you thought he was playing a prank on you must’ve drastically altered the results of his experiment 
♡ at one point he says something extremely stupid you’d just quit playing along and just blurt out ‘wtf is wrong with you today’
♡ to which he’d be like ‘ahaha, nuthin much bbg, how bout you?’
♡ THE EXPERIEMNT ISN’T OVER UNTIL HE SAYS IT’S OVER OKAy?!
♥ ♡ ♥ ♡ ♥ ♡ ♥
you rubbed your temples in order to soothe the throbbing headache suna gave you simply by existing. like yes, you had a crush on him 10 minutes ago - but that was before he came up to you and started acting like terushima on dodgy medication. “oh and your skin is glowing bab--”
“jesus christ, rintarō, shut up!” you cried, gripping the edge of your skirt to prevent your self from delivering a swift punch right to his stupid face. he’s seriously gotten on all your nerves at this point; firstly, by spamming your phone in the middle of the night asking for homework answers (accompanied by cursed memes) as he actually managed to wake you up. secondly, by acting so oblivious to the fact you clearly had a crush on him and now, this!
heat rose to his cheeks in embarrassment as his creepy smile instantly fell right back into his resting bitch face, “this isn’t working, is it?” 
“what’s not working?”
suna scoffed, rolling his eyes - his façade having evidently disappeared. “this.” he sighed, looking around as if someone was going to save him before his eyes finally settled on you and he was reminded of what he wanted in the first place, his sparkle was rekindled for just a moment which caused him to blurt out, “just fuck me already, i’m not asking for much.”

Can I request Resident evil guys with a small female reader hc.. also what do they think of her..
Note: Awww 🥺 sure, this such a cute request! Also, I don’t know what type of HCs did you want so i wrote SFW ones 😊.
Warnings: none.
My Discord server if you want to join.
My ko-fi if you want to support me.
Tumblr media
Albert Wesker:
Tumblr media
He doesn’t care about the height of his s/o as long as she does her job. Still, he will take it in consideration and, if she works with him, he’ll assign her in missions accordingly to her size.
He has a thing for small women, and that’s obvious from his STARS day (undeveloped photo named “raising rookie” which was hidden in his office 👀), even if he doesn’t want to admit. That being said, the size difference will somehow make him have a soft spot for her.
Her likes to see her smaller hands being engulfed in his massive ones. Her head will comfortable rest on his chest while standing and he won’t hesitate to run a gloved hand through her hair. He likes when he has to bend a little so she can kiss him on the lips, it somehow makes him feel more powerful.
Leon Kennedy :
Tumblr media
Younger Leon: he will be so sweet about it and for example if he sees her struggling trying to reach for an object he won’t hesitate to help.
He won’t be able to say no. He just thinks you’re so cute and he just wants to see her smile.
I picture Leon as someone who will share his food during laugh time, and because he has a soft spot for her, he’ll buy some food he knows she likes and will give it to her.
While training at the shooting range, if he will end up helping her aiming, he likes to rest his chin on her head while guiding her body to the right position. While shooting, he’ll rest his hands on her shoulders and watch proudly how her aim gets better.
Older Leon: he will still help her, because a part of his old self is still inside him, but he will have his moments when he will be cocky about it. There will be some moments when his one-liners will exit his mouth but he will make sure to make it up (when he has free time).
He thinks she needs constant protection, and will ask Hunnigan if she can put a bodyguard or two near her, but in a way she won’t see them because he knows she’ll get upset.
In his free time, besides making it up for his lines, he will teach her self defense techniques, especially with a knife. He doesn’t see her carrying very big and heavy weapons so he will focus on small weapons.
Carlos Oliveira:
Tumblr media
Constant tease. Also she will be his new elbow rester.
Lift her out of the blue. It doesn’t matter, meeting, in a middle of a conversation, doing work, he will lift up her body with his strong arms and will carry her around the room just for the fun of hearing her cursing and demanding to be put down.
Will send stupid WikiHow articles on “how to talk with small people”, “how to hug a girl who is shorter than you”, and the list can go on.
Still, he knows when to not cross the line. When he’s not teasing, he is actually sweet and carrying. He knows his little girl can handle anything, but he will be precarious.
Chris Redfield:
Tumblr media
This dilf will be constantly worried about you, and because he doesn’t realize how big he actually is, he will tend to see her much smaller than she actually may be.
He works for BSAA, so this means she will be extra guarded. Not necessarily because of her frame, but Chris in general is a overly protective guy.
No one will dare saying anything regarding her height, because they will be afraid of the muscular, gym addicted, guy from behind her. One death glare and it’s over.
She can tell him all she wants that she doesn’t need extra protection, his savior complex will surpass her speech. However, on the moment he will say like her, to not crush her authority, but will end up doing like him.
Ethan Winters:
Tumblr media
The ultimate small s/o protector™.
He won’t hesitate to curse the unfortunate person who mocked her because of her height. He will defend her honor at any cost. Seriously, he won’t hesitate to fight.
He knows she can handle every situation, but he will still be a little more cautious because he can’t hold it. He’ll share some of his books that Chris gave to him about self defense and will offer to teach her basic techniques too.
Ethan doesn’t think she needs extra protection, but his paternal instinct will say otherwise. He will end up being called “clingy”, “paranoid”, but honestly, he doesn’t care. He saw death right in front of him because he wasn’t careful enough when needed, and he in not taking any chances.
Jake Muller:
Tumblr media
He won’t shut up about it. The bastard is 190 cm, and her, well, smaller than him.
Constant tease.
“Aww, you can’t reach that can’t you?” He will say while smirking down at her and holding the item she wants in his hand.
She will end up slapping him, because he knows no boundaries. He knows he made a mistake, but won’t apologize directly. Instead, he will take her to a fancy place or buy her fancy and luxurious things to make it up for it.
He likes her deeply inside, and he thinks that by acting like a jerk he will make her tougher to other’s criticism. When he is in a good mood, he let that information slip through his lips.
Nikolai Zinoviev:
Tumblr media
The same as Albert, he doesn’t care about her size, for him it’s important to do the job.
There will be sometimes when he will doubt about her abilities, but he will remind himself that it’s not his busses and that money are what matters.
He likes to say that to him a lot to suppress the guilt, but when in a dangerous situation he won’t hesitate to act. It’s one of those rare occasions that leave Nikolai speechless.
When they arrive in a safe spot, he’ll throw the reader that he carried so far on the ground and will leave the room, but not before saying “Take care next time. Don’t be deadweight.”

Hi!! I’m new to the Haikyuu fandom but Kageyama is my favorite so far!! Can you do numbers 20 and 24 with him please? Thank you in advance! 🧡🖤
Haikyuu!! Prompt list trial
HQ!! Prompt list
Thanks for requesting! I’m also fairly new to the Haikyuu fandom <3
The other requests are in the works, they might just take a bit longer bc I’m swamped with school stuff! Happy reading :D
Words: 2400+
Warnings: possible weight trigger?, Kags calls you heavy 😔
Pairing: Kageyama Tobio x FEM!reader
Prompt(s): 20- "I didn't mean it like that, I was trying to... tease you. That's what you do, right? When you have feelings?" & 24- "don't leave me here with her/them!"
The mind of Kageyama was mostly a mystery; his skull hollow with a few volleyballs bouncing around. He wasn't the smartest to say the least— Have you seen his report card?
So, when his heart pumped 10x faster than when he was on the court when he was around you, he only thought he wasn't feeling well that day. Next was his voice; constantly stuttering for no apparent reason when he was chatting with you. Kageyama had not a clue what was going on with him until Tanaka spoke up for him, asking how long Kageyama was going to wait before asking you out. The boy in question just wrinkled his nose and went to toss another ball to an energetic redhead.
Nishinoya and Tanaka cornered the unsuspecting setter in the club room, trapping him with their looming auras. Kageyama only stared at them quizzically for a moment before a phone was shoved in his face.
"Look, dude, check out this article!" Tanaka grinned, raising his eyebrows.
"Is it about volleyball?" Kageyama asked as he threw on his uniform.
"No—"
"—don't wanna look at it then," Kageyama interrupted his upperclassmen, grabbing his bag and hoisting it over his shoulder.
"C'mon bro!" Argued Nishinoya, blocking the door with pure physics, clinging to the frame, "we just wanna help you get with y/n! This Wiki article will save you from your lack of social awareness around her."
"What's that supposed to mean?" Kageyama mumbled, glancing at the phone pointed at him. It was titled: 'How to Flirt with Girls'. Now, he wasn't necessarily considering reading it, but it was tempting. "Why d'you want me to flirt with y/n? She's my friend."
"She's your crush is what she is. Are you really too dense to realize your feelings?" Tanaka said. "Actually- yeah. You are. Here, I'll text you the link."
Later that night when Kageyama was trying to sleep, his mind wandered in circles thinking about his feelings towards you. He didn't think he had time to develop a crush, but here he was pulling up his phone to check the link his upperclassman sent him. He squinted at the bright WikiHow screen, and scrolled down to read the captions. He glanced at the first three options, not really reading (or caring) about 'don't forget to smile!' and 'don't cross your arms'.
The only title that caught his eye was 'Tease Her'. Kageyama knew how to do that; it was easy. He did it with Hinata all the time! He blushed just thinking about making you flustered, a wish that he didn't know he had until tonight. He didn't bother with reading the rest of the article, feeling confident in himself that he knew what to do. He threw his phone back onto his nightstand and cuddled into his bedsheets, grinning wildly.
Tobio didn't know what he was getting into when he asked Tanaka and Nishinoya about the skill of teasing. He had only wanted a few pointers from the 'pros', and some advice on what to do after you were charmed by him.
"Oh ho ho!" Tanaka said excitedly, waving his hands around as he ranted. "Make sure to insult her playfully, but always tell her how beautiful she is afterwards! Oh, and don't forget about the lingering touches! Girls love that stuff, trust me."
Kageyama nodded along, turning to Nishinoya, "don't forget to smile! Girls love sweet smiles~."
The raven haired boy was practically buzzing with anticipation as he waited at the table he usually ate at with you, desperate to try out his new flirting techniques. He smiled at you, something he usually did but he tried making it brighter. He felt his chest bubble when you raised your eyebrows at him, giving a cute smile in return.
You were wondering what the hell was up with Kageyama. You knew he wasn't the best at smiling, but when he flashed his teeth it was just downright creepy. You tried not to laugh as you sat beside him, pulling out your lunch to sit on the table in front of you. A huff left your lips as Tobio snatched away your bento, raising it above his head with a playful smirk.
"Kageyama-kun," you raised a brow playfully. "You want me to starve or something?"
"Just watching your weight," he replied, grin still plastered on his face.
You deadpanned at him, giving him a scowl, "don't say stuff like that, it makes me feel like shit."
"You're still p-pr-er, P-p-pretty in my eyes," your friend stammered, his stance wavering. You lazily tried to grab your lunch back, but Tobio's long arms kept it out of your reach.
You sighed, giving him a teasing grin before reaching out and tickling his armpit. He choked out a laugh and your bento fell out of his hand, and you caught it. Kageyama gave you a frustrated pout and watched as you ate your food.
"Serves you right for calling me fat," you said through a mouthful, cringing at your manners, "that wasn't very nice."
"You're only heavy because of your muscle," Kageyama said, propping a fist on his cheek, "you'd be good at serving." You looked at him quizzically, trying to figure out what was up with him today.
"Y-your clothes look cool today," Tobio offered, trying to keep up with his 'flirtatious' act.
"... dude I literally wear the same thing every day. Y'know, my uniform," now you were really confused. Was he messing with you? Or was he just being his usual weird self?
A blush creeped onto his face and he looked away, burring his face in his own lunch. You ate in an odd silence, occasionally catching Kageyama taking glances at you.
"Y-you're, erm, very..." Tobio trailed off, refusing to look at you. His face was red with embarrassment and he stared at his empty lunchbox, tapping his fingers on the table rhythmically.
"Go on~," you pressed, glaring holes in his head.
Kageyama perked up suddenly, putting an arm around your shoulders, "you look heavy, let me hold it for you. Wait—."
"Ok, dude. What's up with you?!" You were getting pissed now, and you quickly packed up your bento. "I'm going to my class early."
Before he could stop you, you peeled his arm from your body and sped walked away into a bathroom. Kageyama blushed in frustration, cursing at his stupid twisted tongue. He couldn't believe he messed up the simplest pick up line, the one that Nishinoya had taught him. Maybe Tsukishima was right, he was going to scare you off before he could make a proper move. He groaned angrily into his hands and shoved his lunch container into his bag, huffing down the hall to get to his class.
You sunk down into your seat, trying not to let the interaction with Kageyama rule your mind. Was was up with him today? You thought. He was usually odd, but not this odd. You laid out your things in front of you and organized them to distract yourself. You slightly jumped at the sound of the first bell, and you heard the hallway outside start to get louder with footsteps and laughing chatter.
"Hi y/n-san!" Yamaguchi said, and you looked up at him.
"Hey," you mumbled.
"What's got you all grouchy?" Tsukishima chuckled as he sat by his desk beside yours.
"I'm sorry," you sighed, "Kageyama-kun was just being a dick during lunch."
"What'd he do?" Yamaguchi asked, sitting in his seat behind you. He gathered his notebook and pencil case.
"He was being really weird. Er, weirder than normal," you started. "He tried holding me back from my lunch and he basically called me fat. But then he said I was heavy because I had so much muscle? Which doesn't even make sense, and then he said I'd be good at setting which is— I mean ok?"
Tsukishima snickered from beside you as he opened his binder, and Yamaguchi blushed a little at his teammate's actions.
"And then he told me that my clothes looked nice. My uniform clothes, that I wear every day," you puzzled almost to yourself, forgetting that your friends were listening to your rant. "Oh, he also said like, I dunno, a pickup line or something? He said that 'I looked heavy and he wanted to hold 'it'' whatever the hell he was supposed to mean by that."
Tsukki had to shove a hand over his mouth to keep himself from combusting into boisterous laughter, Yamaguchi doing the same. You frowned and rolled your eyes, turning to look at the board as the second bell rang.
"The idiot's got a crush on you," Tsukishima spilled, chest shaking from the aftershocks of his laughter.
"W-wha—," you started.
"—Tsukki!" Yamaguchi interrupted. "You told me that you weren't gonna mess with Kageyama-kun's relationships!"
Tsukishima just shrugged before turning to the board, your eyes bulging at him. "He fucking what—."
"I know!" Tsukishima smirked, "I didn't think he had any emotion for anything but volleyball."
You opened your mouth to reply, but got cut off by your teacher. You frowned as you set up your notes, messily writing your name and the date. Kageyama's actions now made sense to you, knowing how awkward he is in expressing his feelings.
After class as you walked down the hall, Tsukishima sported a sly grin. You eyed him quizzically, not trusting the look in his eyes. He smirked harder at your glance and chuckled.
"I have a plan," the blonde said, pushing up his glasses. "I'm gonna shove Kageyama in the equipment room with you."
"And so I get a say in this at all?" You pressed, glaring playfully at him.
"Well, what do you say?" He asked.
"I say yes," you said, Yamaguchi facepalming at your response.
You followed the two boys down to the gym where they practiced, and waited by the door until Yamaguchi gave you the clear that no one was there yet except for the third years. Tsukishima led you to the double doors of the equipment room and you took a step inside the dark room, turning on your flashlight.
"If you hear an even three knocks, open the door immediately," you ordered, shaking slightly. "Incase he does something... weird," you faltered slightly, and Yamaguchi nodded quickly.
"Whatever," the tall blonde in front of you said, "just get in before he comes in the gym— oh, he's here."
The door was closed suddenly, and you were left alone with only your phone flashlight to protect you. You took a deep breath as you heard voices outside the heavy doors, trying to regulate your heartbeat. What were you doing? What was your plan after he gets trapped inside? The doors opened and filled the room with light for a brief moment before the space was consumed in darkness once again.
"Hey!" You heard Kageyama yell beside you, pounding on the door, "what the hell?!"
You laid a gentle hand on his shoulder and he whipped around to slap you away, faltering when he realized it was you. His eyes widened and he was glad you couldn't see the blush that flourished on his face. Kageyama was silent for a few moments before hammering at the door again.
"Guys! Don't leave me here with her!" He panicked when you pulled his hands away from the doors, and he went quiet.
"Calm down, Kageyama-kun," you stifled a giggle. "You're only here so you can apologize to me."
"W-what?" He stuttered, body going stiff.
"Just say sorry for offending me," you shrugged. His eyes were glued to the floor, hands still trapped by your grip.
"I- I thought... I didn't mean it like that, I was trying to... tease you. That's what you do, right? When you have feelings?" Kageyama's blush crawled across his whole face all the way to the tips of his ears and he squeezed his eyes shut, terrified of what your next words were going to be.
"So you do have a crush on me," you pondered, loosening your hold on his wrists. The boy in front of you snapped his hands to his sides and anxiously squeezed his fists.
"How...?" Kageyama held his breath, as if afraid of your answer.
"Hmm, a little birdie told me~," you teased, running a finger down his chest. His breath hitched in his throat and a shiver ran down his spine when he felt your hot breath whisper onto his ear, "I'm still waiting for your apology."
"I'm s-sor-sorry for what I s-said at lunch today..." Kageyama stammered, rubbing his arm awkwardly.
"I accept your apology!" You smiled and went in for a hug, crushing his arms to his sides. "Meet me after practice near the vending machines~," you murmured playfully.
"—what are you guys doing?!" Daichi's muffled yell came through the door. "You can't just trap people in there!"
Kageyama tensed and he tried to pull away, but you held him closer. The bright light from the gym poured into the small room, illuminating all of the equipment and yourselves.
"Are you oka— oh," Daichi cut himself off, eyes widening at the sight of a girl hugging his underclassman. You peaked at him over Kageyama's shoulder and gave a shy smile, pulling away slowly.
"Bye, Tobio-chan," you adjusted your bag and gave him a kiss on the cheek. "See you after your practice."
The group of boys watched in silence as you skipped your way out the gym door, too shocked to say anything. Kageyama's face grew hotter and he reached up to touch where you kissed him. He felt like he was going to pass out.
"Kageyamaaaaa!!" Hinata yelled, shaking his friend viciously, "was that your girlfriend?! Why didn't you tell us you had one?! She's so pretty! Why does she even like you?!"
"Chill out Hinata-kun," Daichi said sternly, pulling the redhead away by the back of his shirt. "Kageyama-kun, be ready for practice in five."
Tobio nodded slowly, his hand still on his cheek in bewilderment. He was too excited to tell Hinata off, completely blocking out his friend. He couldn't wait for practice to end.

Caring for a Sore S/O after Working Out
Kuroo, Bokuto, Akaashi, & Tsukki x Reader - Sore S/O Headcanons
request: “can i request headcanons with the third gym squad when their s/o is sore from doing excercise? usually i don't excercise, the last week i just jump the rope, and my left leg is just aching as hell, Now I'm limping, sliding my hurt leg lmao thank u by the way!!!!!”
a/n: ok i felt this. i haven’t worked out since quarantine began and i am physically falling apart rn. so even if i did workout, i’d probably be in so much pain that i’d quit the next day oop. BUT here’s the 3rd gym squad, at your service bby <33 hope u enjoy!
warnings: slightly suggestive for Kuroo
total wc: 1020
---
Kuroo:
lately Kuroo has been pestering you to come to the gym w/ him
i mean you are dating an athlete and you gotta admit, he looks pretty damn good
but when you wake up at 4am to an unwelcome aching all over your body, the regret sets in
your arms, legs, thighs… everything is so sore. it hurts to even shift under the covers
you stifle several groans, trying not to wake up Kuroo, but he’s such a light sleeper that his eyes are open the second you make a noise
“You okay, babe?” he mumbles sleepily, rubbing his eyes
“Kuroo, I am in so much pain. The gym was a mistake.” you murmur, “What do I do? I don’t think I can go back to sleep.”
“I’ve gotcha, baby. What hurts?” he’s pulling the covers off of you
Your face flushes, skin exposed, unsure of what he’s planning to do
He smirks, “Relax, I’m just gonna give you a massage.”
he’ll start with your shoulders, pressing into them with firm hands, and you release a deep satisfied breath
Tetsurou will work his way down your body, savoring the contented hums you release, making sure to apply direct, but gentle pressure
when he finds his way to your legs, you let out a groan, and now Kuroo’s cheeks are tinged pink
but you’re already sore, so he spares you for tonight
when he’s finished, he leaves trails of kisses down your back and grabs you a heating pad
you thank him with a sleepy peck on the forehead and he responds by pulling you into his arms, ignoring the little “Ouch” you squeak out
Bokuto:
you’d worked out a couple of days ago and Bo was SO PROUD OF YOU
but the thing is, he forgot how sore people could get if they haven’t exercised in a while
so when he came over to your place and leapt into your arms for a hug, you both crashed to the floor, your legs unable to handle the strain of his sudden movements
now you’re not only sore, but there’s a sharp pain shooting up your arm
he’ll feel sO bad about it, apologizing profusely on his knees while grasping your hands
“Y/n, I am SO SORRY. PLEASE FORGIVE ME!”
like babe, he’s pleading, his eyes are so big
and you won’t have any time to respond to him because he’ll have already scooped you up in his arms
he’s holding you bridal style, his grip gentle and secure, eyes on you the whole time
“Were you really that sore, baby?”
“Bokuto, I literally collapsed. What do you think?”
“Please let me make it up to you!” he begs
be prepared for a netflix night and all kinds of takeout food
he’ll make sure your legs are laid over his lap and he’ll keep his warm hands on your thighs the whole time, stroking them softly
now every time you workout, you have to tell him beforehand, bc he’s scared of you collapsing under his crushing hugs
Akaashi:
he’ll see you limping and immediately assess the situation
you’ve clearly done something out of the ordinary, you’ve been complaining about how heavy your arms feel, and you’re unreasonably tired
so when you finally mention your workout the other day, everything clicks and he decides to pull out his full regimen for muscle soreness and strain
he starts randomly bringing you water bottles throughout the day
if it’s your abs that hurt, Akaashi will bring you a hot water bottle and a fuzzy, blanket
at night, before you both finish up some documentary series together, you’ll hear water running in your bathroom
you walk in to find Akaashi filling it up, clouds of bubbles sitting on the water’s surface
he’ll turn around and give you a soft smile
“Thought you might like something soothing, y/n.”
“Akaashi… you’re amazing.”
once you’re relaxed and out of your bath, he motions for you to sit with him, leaving a big space for you to lay out on the sofa
but you’re feeling cuddly and lean into his side
he’ll just run his fingers through your hair, not minding the dampness, lowkey giving you a scalp massage
and if your hair is long enough, Akaashi will move it to the side, lightly brushing the skin on your neck and trace the crevices on your shoulders and neck
you literally work out just so you get this treatment more often lmao
Tsukki:
he actually makes fun of you for trying to exercise in the first place
“You do realize you have to do this again to get results, right?” he snorts, “If you feel this awful, maybe just don’t do it at all.”
Tsukki says that, but the next day he’ll be helping you learn proper form for different exercises
he’ll position your arms and legs so you don’t put pressure on your back and he’ll keep you from overdoing it while on a run
ever wonder why he smells so fresh? this guy uses icy hot all. the. time.
it helps him release all kinds of tension in his muscles
he’ll absolutely convert you to it, you have no choice in this matter
but Tsukishima insists you’re putting it on wrong and definitely uses it as an opportunity to get his hands on you in a slightly more discreet way you’re not fooling anyone, sweetheart
when he’s rubbing it in on your back, you lean into the touch and he teases you by immediately dropping his hands to wash them off
you’ll be pouting around the house, but when he comes back, he’ll start massaging pressure points, rubbing your back and neck
Tsukki’s hands are literal magic yes, you may take this in any way you’d like to
“How’d you get so good at this?” you ask, the soreness slowly fading
“Wikihow.” he says monotonously 
“No, really babe. I have to know your secret.”
“...I literally read an article and just figured it out from there.”
he actually probably did learn it off the internet, but you refuse to believe it
Tsukki definitely threatens to charge you for his services, but he secretly relishes how much you seem to enjoy his touch

I can’t believe I found someone that writes for soul eater 🥺😭 I was wondering if I could get a sweet fluffy fic where ragnarok ends up telling the reader that Crona has a crush on her pls 🥺
wikihow: how to kiss someone
crona gorgon x fem!reader
Tumblr media
[a/n: oh my goodness, yes yes yes! My first soul eater request 🥺 thank you anon, crona is a precious baby who must be protected at all costs, enjoy ! -yours truly, bunnyy -`ღ´-]
It had been a month or two since Crona had officially enrolled in the DWMA and he was finally getting used to hanging out with the others. Someone he couldn’t deal with, however, was you. Well it wasn’t really you per se, he just couldn’t deal with the fact that you made him feel some sort of way. Everything you did made his heart thump crazily. Ragnarok had told him that it was because he harbored feelings for you but he refused to believe it. This caused Crona to start avoiding you however he could. The feeling scared him and he didn’t like being scared.
Sadly, for you this meant that Crona disliked you, or you thought it did at least. You watched as Crona and Maka spoke comfortably as they made their way over to where you and Soul were sitting. By the look on your face, Soul could tell that you were upset.
“Crona’s still ignoring you?” He asked carefully. You heavily sighed and tore your eyes away from the two.
“Yeah, he still is.”
“How totally uncool.” He clicked his tongue, opening his mouth again but was cut off by you.
“I’m just gonna get going. I don’t want to make him uncomfortable. See ya’ later Soul.”
“Yeah...see ya’.”
As they approached, Maka frowned as she watched you walk off. “Is everything okay?”
“Hmm? Oh, yeah. She just has a headache.” He didn’t like lying to his partner but he cared about you and didn’t want to sell you out so he opted to tell Maka about it later.
“Oh dear, maybe you should go check on her Crona.”
Oh yeah, I guess I forgot to mention, Crona is your roommate. You were the only other student who didn’t have one, so Lord Death asked you to take in the pink haired boy. That’s what made this whole situation even more painful.
“Huh? I-I should go ch-check on her? Uhm o-okay.” Crona’s cheeks flushed pink as he agreed to Maka’s suggestion and made his way over to your guys’ shared apartment. “W-what if she’s s-sick? I d-don’t think I-I know how to deal w-with sick people...” He mumbled to himself as he shut the door behind him.
You hastily wiped your tears when the door softly shut, slightly tensing up when you heard footsteps moving towards the kitchen.
“(Y/n)? Is everything o-okay?” You silently cursed your heart for getting excited by his sweet voice.
“I’m okay Crona. Thank you for checking up on me.” You attempted to reassure him as you poured your tea.
He frowned, you didn’t sound okay at all. “A-Are you sure?” You turned around, mug in hand, and gave him a sad smile.
“I’m sure.”
Right when you were gonna turn to go to your room, a familiar presence was made known.
‘goo-bee’
“You idiot! Of course she’s not okay! Look at her!” Ragnarok bonked Crona on the head with his little fist. “She’s sad because your ignoring her.” He then turned to you. “I can’t take it anymore, this little twerp likes you! That’s why he’s been avoiding you. So stop cryin’.” And with that, he retreated back into Crona. Leaving the both of you in a tense silence.
“Crona y-you like me?” Your voice was hopeful, of course he hadn’t caught onto that so he thought you were making fun of him.
“Well there’s no need to poke fun at me...” He had a little pout on his face.
“No no, I’m not making fun of you Crona. I really want to know cause, in that case, then I uh- I like you too.” The way he looked up at you made your heart clench. There was a cute little smile on his lips and a pink tint on his cheeks.
“R-Really? You do?”
After establishing that the both of you did in fact have feelings for each other, you both agreed to go on a date that weekend.
Currently, you were getting ready for bed. After showering, you had gone to the kitchen to make yourself another cup of tea. There had been a permanent smile on your lips ever since Ragnarok had outed Crona’s secret. Meanwhile, the whole rest of the day, Crona was cooped up in his room and googling what he should do when he has feelings for someone. After reading multiple blog posts, he realized that all of them came to the same conclusion. He had to kiss you. So naturally, his next search was ‘how do I kiss someone.’ Clicking on the first promising on from a website called ‘wikihow’ he began to scroll through the different ways he could go about kissing you. All of them were a little too much for him except one. It was a simple peck on the cheek.
“Hmm I-I think I can d-do that...r-right?” He mustered up all the courage he could and finally ventured out of his room, it seemed like he was right on time too because you were on your way to you room, which was across the hall from his, with a mug in one hand and a book in the other.
“Hey uh (y-y/n)?”
“Yes, Crona?” The smile on your lips made his heart feel fuzzy and warm and made him start to panic just a bit.
“C-can I uhm can I k-kiss you?” You were taken aback by the sudden request, it was a little out there for him to be asking that type of question but the determined look in his eyes was hard to deny.
“Of course you can.”
Once those words left your mouth, he slowly approached you. You patiently waited as he went at his own pace, that patience was a bit difficult because there were sparks of excitement lighting up your heart. He was an arms length away before he leaned over and planted a sweet little kiss at the edge of your lips. He quickly backed away, face a dark shade of red.
“I-I’m sorry! I didn’t mean for it t-to be that close t-to your lips!” He screwed his eyes a shut as he apologized profusely.
“It’s okay Crona. No need to be nervous.” Your reassurance was all it took for him to calm down. “Or maybe you did it on purpose? Hmm?” You teased, small smirk on your lips.
“Well no, I-“ he shut his mouth when you leaned in close, lips grazing the shell of his ear.
“I don’t think I’d mind all that much though.” You whispered before placing a quick kiss on his cheek and pulling away. “Good night Crona. Get some rest.” And with that, you went into your room.
gєиєяαℓ тαgℓιѕт (open): @ohbois-biggay-bnha
“Y-yeah...g-goodnight (y/n).” He rubbed the back of his neck before going into his own room and flopping back onto his bed. He replayed the moment in his head while hugging his pillow. He was actually excited for your guys’ date. It was the first time in his life where he felt like he could actually handle something on his own.

Could you write prompt 88 for natsume yuujjncho?
PROMPTS LIST
88. “That’s definitely not true.” “Of course it is. I read it on Wikipedia.”
x
Tooru is being her usual, relentlessly supportive self. Takashi would appreciate it any other time.
“I really don’t want to go on a date with your coworker,” he tells her for the third time. 
“The best way to get over an unrequited love is to date for fun!” Tooru says with unfounded confidence. 
To Takashi’s knowledge, Tooru has been comfortably aromantic for as long as Takashi has known her, so he has no idea where this apparent expertise is coming from and he’s somewhat afraid to find out. 
“That’s definitely not true,” he says, attempting reason. 
“Of course it is! I read it on Wikipedia.”
Behind Tooru, Kaname is giving Takashi a look of deep sympathy. Takashi closes his eyes, fortifying himself, and says, “Tooru-- ”
“Well, okay, it was a WikiHow article. But it was really well-reasoned!” She leans forward on her elbows, looking at him with wide, earnest eyes. “If this person you like won’t give you the time of day, forget about them! Go on a date with Hideki. You’ll have fun.”
“Don’t say it like that,” Takashi says weakly. “It’s not as though I told them I’m in love with them. They didn’t reject me. I’m not… pining.”
If anything, he’s regretting bringing up his hopeless infatuation in the first place. He fully blames Katsumi and one too many drinks over dinner last night. What had been a safe, if uncomfortable, secret for the last four years has somehow become an open discussion between three of his closest friends. 
He’s deeply, exhaustively relieved he didn’t slip up and tell them who. 
Tooru frowns at him. 
“That’s another thing. Why are you so certain you’re not a total catch? I showed Hideki a picture of you and he, like, literally swooned. If you’d just tell this person you’re in love with them, they’d probably be over the moon.”
Takashi feels himself flush. Kaname is smiling at him now, gently but not without humor. He, at least, understands how strange the idea is that someone could look at him and see something worth having. Lucky for Kaname, Katsumi is both more stubborn than a mountain spirit and extremely vocal about the things he wants. 
“I have an idea,” Tooru says brightly. She stands up, rounds the table, and offers Takashi her hand. “Come with me.”
With a deep sense of dread, Takashi takes her hand, and allows himself to be tugged out of the kitchen, past the sitting room where Kaname is half-rising from his chair with the look of someone with no idea how to stop this train wreck from happening but with every intention of giving it his best shot, and up the stairs. 
She taps on the study door and slides it open. Satoru glances up from his laptop, paperwork spread across the desk beside him. He smiles when he sees who it is, shutting his computer halfway and giving them his full attention, the way he’s done since they were kids. 
He always puts his friends first. It’s one of the first things Takashi loved about him. 
“What are you two troublemakers up to?” he asks cheerfully. “Bring a new ghost home or something?”
“No ghosts today,” Tooru says. “We actually have a romance problem to solve.”
Something flickers in Satoru’s expression, but his smile doesn’t give an inch. “Oh? Do tell.”
“Takashi is in love with someone who doesn’t love him back,” she explains, to the very last person in the entire world Takashi would prefer she explained this to. “He doesn’t seem to realize that anybody would be lucky to date him. He won’t listen to me, so I figured he might listen to you.”
Satoru looks like a bird caught in wire, eyes round, body very still. “Um,” he says, aiming for a laugh and falling short, “why would he listen to me?”
“Well, you had a crush on him in high school,” Tooru says reasonably, as if she turns the world upside down on a regular basis, and it really isn’t that exciting. “So you’ll be able to tell him all his good points.”
For a second, everyone sits there and stares at each other. Takashi’s heart is beating so loud he thinks Kaname can probably hear it downstairs. Satoru is the first one to look away, hands doing the nervous fluttering they do when he’s about one minute away from a spiral. 
“Yeah, I could definitely do that,” he says, too fast, a little too quiet, “um, but maybe later? I have to finish this paper, it’s worth half my grade in sociology, and the first draft is due tonight. It’s gonna be a whole thing. Might take awhile.”
Tooru is one of the smartest people Takashi has ever had the privilege of knowing, even if she can be kind of oblivious about some things that other girls are like bloodhounds for, and he sees it when she realizes she made a big mistake. 
Her hands fly to her mouth. She’s apologizing, so fast the words break and stumble over each other, and Takashi gets the sense that this has been something of an open secret for a long time. That Satoru probably talked about it every now and then in a cheerful past-tense. That Tooru probably reasonably assumed that Takashi knew, since everyone else did. 
Satoru seems as though he’s seriously contemplating the window as a means of escape, so Takashi says, “Tooru, can we have a minute?”
She looks ready to cry, so he presses her hand. 
“It’s okay,” he says. “Really. I just need a minute.”
When she’s gone, flying back down the stairs by the sound of things, Takashi looks at Satoru. His best friend. His first friend. The first person who saw a strange transfer student who jumped at shadows and talked in whispers and decided there was something there worth knowing. The first person who took him by the hand and kept finding reasons not to let him go. 
Satoru flinches when Takashi scoots over closer to him. He looks one step shy of humiliated. 
“You had a crush on me back then?” Takashi asks gently. 
“Kind of obvious, Bakashi,” Satoru mutters. “Everybody did. I’m the only one who didn’t know better.”
There’s something unfolding inside him that hurts to be trapped inside him, pressing against the walls and corridors that make up his heart as though searching for a window or a door or a crack to sneak through, too big to be contained. 
Takashi borrows the same bravery that led him up mountains and across rivers and through fires when he was a child, and says, “I had a crush on you, too.”
Satoru’s head snaps up. He’s always been quick to cry, more emotional on a good day than Tooru and Katsumi at their very worst combined, and that hasn’t changed now that they’re in university. His mouth wobbles for a moment. 
“Oh,” he says, with the kind of wonder and defeat better suited someone who just saw a fleeting vision of everything they ever wanted. 
Takashi puts his hand on the desk, palm-up. After a beat, Satoru takes it. He always takes it. 
“I still do,” Takashi admits. 
“Oh,” Satoru says again, but this time he loses the battle not to start bawling over his homework. 
The door rattles open with force, and Kaname is there with Tooru hovering fretfully at his shoulder, and he says, “Satchan, please don’t cry, Atsushi will kill us all. Even if none of us tell him, he’ll just know. It’s okay, we still love you, Takashi still loves you.”
Satoru buries his face in his free hand, shoulders shaking. It’s really not fair for them to have ambushed him like this, and Atsushi really will be angry when he gets home from his lecture and uses his unnerving psychic powers to find out that someone made Satoru cry, but Takashi is grinning so hard it hurts. His hand wrapped tight around Satoru’s feels the same as it always has. 
“Yeah,” Takashi says, more easily than he would have thought possible even an hour ago. “I still do.”

Anon works now!! :) Ahh I didn’t see any character limit in the rules so let me know if this is too many, but can we get some hcs for Ushijima, Tendou, Lev, and Alisa (if you can write for them, I like me my mostly underrated characters lmao) on how they’d ask out their crush? Nice simple ask to get the ball rolling! Good luck on your blog!!! :)
Tysm for your request! Just for future reference, there is no maximum number of characters I’ll write for a request, but the more characters there are the longer the request will take! I’m so sorry that this took so long for me to write, but I hope you enjoy it!
Ushijima, Tendou, Lev, and Alisa asking out their crush
Word Count: 1525
Ushijima:
There is absolutely no way that he has any relationship experience whatsoever, he’s been dedicating pretty much his whole life to volleyball so up until now he’s kind of thought that romance was pointless
He probably won’t even realize that he likes you until Tendou starts teasing him about how “dreamy” he looks whenever he sees you
Once Ushijima finally realizes his feelings for you, Tendou encourages him to ask you out
He still has basically no idea how to ask someone out (he probably looks it up on WikiHow or something tbh)
But he does as much research and planning as possible! If he likes you enough to actually ask you out, it means you’re incredibly important and special to him, so he wants everything to be as perfect as it can be!
He ends up approaching you in class to tell you to meet him outside the gym before he goes to practice
He’s so serious and intimidating about it that you literally have no idea what he wants to talk to you about
So anyway at the end of the day you head to the gym where he’s already standing
And he looks INCREDIBLY intimidating so you almost chicken out and go straight home but he notices you standing and he kind of awkwardly waves?
So at this point, you’re actually pretty nervous but there’s not much you can do about it
I mean the guy you like wants to talk to you about something serious! You’re kind of worried that he found out you like him or something and he’s rejecting you
But then!! He asks you if you “would like to attend a movie with him”
You finally realize that he’s asking you out! And even though it’s a little too stiff and a little bit awkward, you can tell he put so much thought and effort into it!
All in all, he tries so hard to do everything right because he just really really cares about you!
Tendou:
He’s not actually very subtle when he has a crush, but he’s still pretty guarded with his emotions even around them
He’s unfortunately used to rejection and being made fun of, so he’s very hesitant to be vulnerable with you. However, he does open up to you about his emotions at other times, which is probably why he ended up liking you in the first place!
He’s one of those people who you really can’t tell if his words are friendly teasing or flirting
And for a while he’s totally fine with being in that weird limbo where you think you might have feelings for each other but you’re not really sure but no one’s making the first move!
But after a while it got pretty stressful for him! Every time someone made a move on you he was worried that you would like them better and that you would just abandon him
He has absolutely no plan when it came to confessing to you and asking you out, so it ended up being incredibly spontaneous
You were hanging out at a playground at night, just talking to each other and enjoying the atmosphere
You were talking about who knows what, and you just looked so excited and energized and happy that all he could think about was how stunning you are and how much he likes you
So when you turn to him and ask for his input on what you were saying, he panics and it just kind of slips out
And now he’s panicking because he really did not mean you tell you yet and that he made everything awkward and you’re going to hate him and call him a monster and he’s just bracing himself for the absolute worst
But you just get really happy again and tell him that you feel the same way! And now he’s super happy and a little bit in disbelief but that doesn’t matter because you like him back!
He explains all of his fears and worries to you and you just reassure him that you’re not going anywhere
The two of you decide to go on an arcade date together!
The whole confession was just very spontaneous and energized!
Lev:
He’s so fucking stupid
He’s fully aware that he likes you. The whole team is aware that he likes you. His classmates know that he likes you. His sister has never met you and she knows that he likes you. You probably know that he likes you.
He literally never shuts up about you! He’ll run into practice talking about how cute it was when you snorted in class or some shit. At this point the whole team is constantly teasing him about it but he usually doesn’t realize they’re making fun of him
He is constantly trying to show off whenever you’re around! He probably drags you to as many practices and games as possible just so that every time he does something cool he can ask you if you saw it
And god forbid you compliment him on anything he’s done
He’ll brag about it to anyone who’ll listen (willingly or unwillingly). This usually ends up being Yaku when he’s forced to run practice drills
He actually never really thought about asking you out?? He just knows that being around you makes him really happy and he wants you to be proud of him!
So one day before practice, while Lev is gushing about whatever you did earlier that day, Kuroo interrupts him to ask if he’s planning on asking you out
And so the wheels start turning in his brain and he realizes that yeah, he should ask you out!
He’s so hyped up at the idea of dating you (even though he hadn’t considered it a real possibility before that point). Like yeah he wants to hug you and kiss you and stuff, but he had never really thought of it as something that could actually happen
He’s just so excited by the idea of asking you out that the second you walk through the gym doors he’s practically pouncing on you
Everyone is staring at you two but Lev being Lev, he doesn’t notice at all. He just kind of starts to word vomit about how he thinks you’re adorable and so nice to him and how he wants you to hold him and tell him that he’s doing a good job. At that point everyone’s kind of cringing a little bit because they did NOT sign up for this, but Lev is still over there happily chatting away about pretty much everything he’s thought about you but hasn’t told you.
So for the sake of pretty much everyone, you pull him outside so you have some privacy. You tell him that you like him back and he is so overjoyed he immediately hugs you so close to him! And it’s a little bit uncomfortable but it just feels so nice that you stay like that for a while. Eventually you split apart and he asks you to go to an amusement park with him!
And then Kuroo yells at him to get back in the gym, and normally Lev would be super whiny but he’s just so happy that you agreed to go on a date with him that nothing can phase him anymore!
Alisa:
She’s actually really cool and collected about liking you most of the time!
If she likes you, chances are she’s already pretty close friends with you
She hasn’t actually told anyone she has feelings for you though. Since you’re so close to each other, she’s worried that you’ll find out about her feelings and end up viewing her differently
She does show you how much she cares about you through her overwhelming support of pretty much everything you do!
She’s constantly complimenting you! She’ll notice the smallest details and changes in your clothes and hair just so she can compliment you
She also likes to buy you little trinkets and gifts she sees that remind her of you! Nothing too expensive, just like your favorite candy or a cute little stuffed animal or something
She really just likes to see you smile!
One day she decides that it’s finally time to confess to you!
She ends up leaving you a note asking you to meet her outside after school, along with some little candies
So after school, you rush outside to hear what she has to tell you as soon as possible. You can kind of tell that she’s going to confess, but you don’t want to jump to conclusions too soon just based on the note
Her confession ends up being incredibly sweet and heartfelt! You can tell that she put so much thought into trying to tell you pretty much everything she likes about you
When you tell her you feel the same way, she’s so happy that she’s practically glowing! She hugs you out of pure excitement and asks you out on a date!
She’d probably plan a whole cute cottagecore picnic date or something pretty and sweet like that
She’s just so happy that you feel the same way!!

How to Dream About Your Crush
Summary: You’re gonna go into your crush’s dream and that’s not all, you’re going to make him fall madly in love with you, only in seven days.
Tumblr media
Genre: Fluff, Angst
Pairing: Jungkook x Banshee! Reader
Words: 9k+
Warnings: No correlation to the wikihow article, wattpad got nothing on me, references to HYYH era and the ‘Save Me’ webtoon, Mentions of Suicidal Thoughts, Death, Pretty PG rated overall except for some suggestive parts
💌 A/N: This is the longest Jungkook ff I have ever written. Also, happy valentine’s day!
                      ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
“Who are you?” He asked you as you turned around, your long red dress flowing freely behind you as he ran towards you. “Your future.” You gave him a half smile and everything faded to white, that’s how the dream ended. You woke up with a smile on your face, feeling quite well rested. You weren’t, however, ready to face Jungkook after that little stunt you pulled. Yoongi was glaring at you as you trudged to the kitchen.
“There’s a reason why we don’t use the dream dust on humans, you know?”
“I know, I know. But he’s the cutest boy I’ve ever seen in my entire life, and you know I’m the equivalent of a newborn even at 22.” Your superior lets out a sigh.
“Yes, I suppose I understand why you did it. I just don’t like it, is all. Our kind isn’t known to humans. Even though we blend in well, we cannot mix. Some are just too smart for us to sneak past.” Yoongi finishes whipping up the last batch of his potions for the next week and a half.
“I know you’re salty because once they thought you were a ghost when you went out to go buy a t.v. It doesn’t help that they made a horror movie about it either.” You laugh at the memory, your eyes twinkling with mischief as your older brother glares daggers at you, again.
“We’re the laughing stalk of the 4th dimension, Y/N, how would you feel if a human mistook you for a demon and decided to give you a silly name like, “the crying woman?” or “the girl from the ring?” You just narrowed your eyes at him.
“Those things already exist. Besides, I think it was a good thing that you got caught. Humans fear us so they’ll stay away. Even if they’re wrong about the ghost part, we still have a cool name.” Yoongi buckles his satchel before putting his brown bag over his shoulder and going out for the day.
“For the record, Banshees are cool. Banhees are not.” You rolled your eyes at him as he left, finally locking the door behind him. You loved spending time alone, as you have been for the last quarter of a century. It felt like an eternity, all that time cooped up in your house that you were assigned to stay in with your superior, Yoongi. Over a period of time, he became like a brother to you, that’s why it’s easier to refer to him as your brother, even though you aren’t biologically related to one another.
Your world operates similar to the human world, the only difference is that ghouls don’t get into fights over silly things and there’s no concept of racism because the entire population consists of different types of people and it's not like you deal with the same species. Instead you consider yourselves a single population of just otherlanders. There are others like you, but their existence doesn’t affect yours in any shape or form.
You worked for the factory that you were born at, the same factory that sent you and Yoongi to the human dimension. This way, you could do good deeds without bothering anyone. You were born into a complicated situation. Your entire family was under arrest when you were still in utero, and you were born in a factory jail cell. You were sent to an orphanage as an infant and when you were around 18 years of age, you were sent to work at the factory. That is also where you met your 110 year old superior.
Others didn’t protest, even though it was odd for such a young Banshee to be traveling to the human world and completing tasks meant for elders. Yoongi luckily looked after you, and you became used to the workings of the human world. Your job was easy enough: Look after the souls who you have been assigned to and help them through their dreams.
It was an easy enough task, except for the fact that you couldn’t directly intervene in their lives. You had to go into their dreams and Jungkook Jeon just happened to be one of the lucky humans you had the pleasure of helping, at least that’s what you like to believe. Yoongi got assigned to him instead, but once you got a peek of that bunny-toothed smile, you just couldn’t resist! That boy was just too cute.
To Yoongi’s dismay, you started appearing in his dreams, whether they were dreams or nightmares. You also couldn’t risk him seeing your body, because the lifeless skin with a light blue tint would be a dead giveaway that you weren’t human.
All you needed was a picture of him and some dream dust, the unfortunate part was that Yoongi was the only one who could make it, as he knew the recipe by heart and refused to give it to you until you learned how to be a responsible Banshee and do your job. For your family, who you barely knew.
Later that night, you find yourself in the middle of a road. All you can see is darkness, except for the road with clear yellow lines separating the two lanes. A strange feeling forms in the pit of your belly as you look past your field of vision and you see the road cut off. When you turn around, you see Jungkook, who looks shocked to see you in the middle of his nightmare.
He shuts his eyes and covers himself with his arms, as if he would be shielded from whatever danger just because he can’t see it. Before you can ask him what he was doing, a blinding flash of light stops you, and you feel the impact of the car as glass shards go flying everywhere. It was in slow motion, but you could see Jungkook’s horrified face as you stare back at him with lifeless eyes. He was so startled that he woke up before you did, leaving you alone on the dark road again, only shards of glass and a smashed car to keep you company.
It seems Jungkook’s trauma runs deeper than his memory. When you were flying through the air in slow motion, your vision came back into focus. The blinding light hadn’t reached your eyes yet, so it gave you time to peer into the window. You didn’t see a driver, no face, no body, no hands. It was like the car was driving itself.
You also noticed that the car was driving in the middle of the road, not on either side so it didn’t give Jungkook an opportunity to move out of the way. You getting into an accident was not your fault either, you weren’t meant to be there in the first place. Now that you know, you can avoid this in the future by pulling Jungkook aside or pushing him out of the way. Even though it was a dream, you still felt pain from the incident. This was a downside to being a creature of the night, you remember dreams vividly and never forget pain. That’s why there were a small number of Banshees in your world, because people remembered the pain of giving birth, they stopped reproducing. 
It was about 9 in the morning when you awakened from your slumber, after recounting the events in the dream world by yourself after Jungkook woke up, you stayed there alone. Sometimes, a girl just needs to have that peace and quiet.
“What do you think you’re doing?”
“Yoongi!” You gasp, sitting up on the bed, clutching your blanket with one hand and your dream journal in the other.
“I thought I told you to stop going after that Jungkook boy. He’s my assignment, after all.” You pout as Yoongi shuts you down again. 
“Yoongi, how many times do I have to tell you? I can’t let him go. He’s special.” Yoongi rolls his eyes.
“How many times have I heard this before? One, two, three? They were all different names, different partners too. Ah, how it feels to be a teenager.”
“I’m not a teenager. Not in our dimension, anyways.” Yoongi doesn’t know whether he should laugh or cry at your naive remark. All he can do now is take care of you and get you home in one piece.
“I know that.” He clicks his tongue but you still look more perplexed than ever.
“We’re partners, but this assignment has to be done alone. If you screw this up for me, I can get fired.”
“I understand, sir yes sir,” You salute him before flipping through the pages of your dream diary. “I won’t mess this up. In fact, I think I even found the root of his trauma.” Yoongi shakes his head at your thoughtless comment.
“There is no such thing as a “root” of trauma. Normally, people are mentally scarred during their childhood and they grow up to have problems during their adult life. In Jungkook’s case, he is not a full adult yet, we’re just lucky we got here in time before it started taking over his life.”
“Yoongi, when can I have my first assignment? They said we were partners and sent us here so we can complete missions together but it feels like you just want me to stay out of it altogether.” Yoongi furrows his brows. He puts his fingers to his forehead, pressing down and rubbing his temples for relief. He looks tired and grumpy, like an old man.
“I can’t teach you if you won’t listen to me. When I told you to let me handle this alone, I meant that I wanted to be the one to open the gates to the dream world and let you through so you could observe from a distance.”
“Oh yeah? And how’s that coming for ya?”
“So far? Not so great.” He sighs, plopping onto the green couch with a thwack.
“Tell me what’s the matter.”
“You. You keep messing everything up. I bet you can’t even do your job right even if I assigned you the task.” Your eyes widen at his playful comment, which was a complete 180 from his authoritarian behavior from before.
“I bet I can do that, and make him fall madly in love with me while doing it.” The corners of his lips twitch upwards and into a strange mix between a grimace and a smirk. It takes you a moment to realize that he was trying to smile, something that Yoongi doesn’t do very often. 
“In a week?” Yoongi adds. “If you fail, you have to buy me a Maxi size blanket from Max-Mart.” You reach out to shake his hand but withdraw quickly, realizing that you forgot to decide his punishment.
“And if I win, you have to give me the recipe to Dream Dust.” He scoffs. “Deal.” You shake on it.
Day 1
You wipe your sweaty palms on your pajamas as you prepare for another night in Jungkook’s Dream World. The first thing you needed to do was confront him. Unlike Yoongi, you believed in doing things head-on. Much to your company’s dismay, there were no specific rules stating that you can’t do so. You can’t interfere in the waking world, that’s all.
“It’s you.” Jungkook is in the middle of a floating pile of laundry, which piles higher than any mountain you’ve seen before.
“How’d you get up there?” You ask, trying to change that topic since dream logic allowed you to skip over the meaningless greetings and get to the point. Jungkook didn’t notice, giving you what he thought was a sensible answer but instead the letters came out jumbled and he said something about Alpaca parkas.
“That’s a lovely scent. What kind of detergent do you use?” Jungkook shrugs as you help him out of the pile, not minding that you flew up to do so. “Are you an angel?” He asks finally, when you set him down after flying him back down to safety.
“If that’ll help you sleep better at night, then yeah, I guess so.”
“I’ve seen you before, you’re the one that ran away from me the other time...but that was a dream. Oh my god, am I dreaming?” Jungkook’s smile makes your heart melt. You never thought you would meet a human that made you feel this way, much less a boy. If he belonged to your world, he would be an infant, same as you. But he is technically older than you, since you were only 22 and he was 24.
“Can you tell me who was driving the car?” You shift topics easily but Jungkook’s dreamscape looks murky. It’s like he’s having a thousand thoughts at once but you can’t hear any of them, as he’s keeping them to himself, even in his own dream. Technically, the dream plane is a place where people can share dreams if their connection is strong enough, but you forced your way into his dreams, with the dream dust. Another strange rule about the dream plane is that if he didn’t truly want you here, you could be cast out of his dream. Of course, that’s never happened to you before since you only watched Yoongi do this from afar and never interfered with it directly.
“No.” Again, the horn of that very same car warns you from behind as Jungkook watches the light with wide doe eyes, waiting for the impact that never comes.
He looks at you with confusion as you make the car swerve past you into a halt, something that Jungkook himself can never do. He always gets hit in the end, and then wakes up in his bed in a cold sweat. It’s not really a pleasant feeling, as his heart would race and he would have to get up to drink water or go to the bathroom to calm down his nerves.
“How did you do that?” His dreamscape changes again, to something more serene. A golden-orange sunset near the beach. You can feel the sand between your toes as the waves crash onto your feet and swipe it away. The change is drastic to the empty road in the darkness that always ends in a car crash. You can tell Jungkook still has no control over it, the car just hits him every time and instead of moving out of the way, he waits for the collision, like he’s supposed to get hit.
“I didn’t do anything. It’s your dream, after all.” You try twisting the situation around, since in the dreamscape, you can say or do anything and it will make sense to the person dreaming at the time.
“But you’re here. I know I’ve never met you in real life...so why do you keep appearing in my dreams?”
“I don’t know. Maybe you caught a glimpse of me somewhere and now your subconscious is presenting me as the answer to your problem.” Why did you say that? Now you’ve really gone and done it.
“How can you possibly be my “cure?” The car was just a coincidence. Let’s just say I was so taken aback that I stopped it from crushing you. What good does having you by my side do for me? Are you supposed to be my miracle?” You decide to play along, just for now. If Jungkook thinks he needs you, and you give him exactly what he wants (because it’s a dream), then in the waking world when you run into him, you can directly help him heal and overcome his fears. It’s a win-win situation! Although, Yoongi won’t be very proud of you for doing the latter.
He doesn’t believe in doing the work himself, he says making the humans come to a realization is much more satisfying than directly trying to fix the problem. He calls it pushing things into place, you call it laziness.
“Again, it’s all up to you. I’m just here for the ride.” You’re vague on purpose, as Jungkook comes close to you, practically bumping noses as his breath fans on your lips like a cool breeze of air. You don’t know why, but your heart races when he steps even closer to you.
His lips are almost touching yours, when he suddenly pulls away.
“I don’t even know you.”
You wake up in a cold sweat. Yoongi is flipping through a book, smirking as he sips some coffee while watching you struggle after your return from Jungkook’s dreamscape. He doesn’t think you’ll be able to get any further than angering Jungkook for prying into his most personal thoughts through his dreams.
You make yourself some coffee before starting the day, peering out the window to watch Jungkook as he exits his apartment in a rush, with a guitar case in hand. You know exactly where he’s going, too.
You decide to make your first encounter with Jungkook a mere coincidence. A chance-meeting. Two people meeting on the street only to meet later somewhere else. You were playing with destiny. 
Your physical body has noticeable differences from a human’s body, which means if Jungkook gets too close, he could discover you’re not like him. You opted to wear a simple brown trench coat and some brown boots, but you keep your face covered until you drop a coin in his guitar case.
His eyes widen when he sees you, and you give him the sweetest smile you think a human girl can possibly muster. Quickly, you turn around and disappear around the corner, leaving Jungkook to busk again by his lonesome. He does it everyday, for two hours. After that, he heads down to his workplace which is by a supermarket. 
You don’t go to that supermarket to buy groceries, since it was far away, compared to your local supermarket.
“You know, if you don’t think you can do this, you can give your bag of dream dust to me and I can—” “No!” You interrupt Yoongi, with tearful eyes. “I don’t care about your stupid bet. I just want Jungkook to get at least one night of rest. This may be a game for you, but he’s a real person, you know? He is more than an “assignment.” Yoongi, I’m asking you for a bit of humility.” Yoongi sighs before setting his book down on the table, putting a hand on his chin as he speaks to you.
“And so it begins. Your first mission,” You look at him with bewilderment; Had he meant to piss you off from the very beginning? “The same thing happened to me on mine, and my grandfather’s father. The key to a successful mission is realizing that your assigned humans are human.” You were at a loss for words.
Yoongi helped you? This one is definitely going in the book of reports.
“What difference does it make? Jungkook doesn’t want my help. He doesn’t even know me.”
“But you know him,” Yoongi’s eyes glimmer with flecks of gold, his irises naturally brown with a yellow undertone. You always found his eyes captivating, mirroring the very essence of his soul. He’s wise and monotonous, with a microscopic piece of warmth seeping through the cracks. Rarely does he express any kind of emotion at all. Yet this was one of those rare moments in which he displayed emotion. “So help him.”
Day 2
Jungkook’s dreamscape had taken a turn for the worst. This time, you found yourself in the middle of a crime scene, Jungkook watching himself bleed out as his double sinks into the white-tiled floor, fresh scarlet blood pooling around his head. You stood on the far side of the island, not wanting to be found out.
Jungkook walks past the body suddenly, making a beeline for the back door. You watch the scene around you shift once again, and suddenly, you’re in the middle of a party. Is Jungkook reliving memories? Seeing vivid nightmares because those memories haunt him? You know he was involved in a car accident, and that left him unable to dance. He still can’t exert force on his leg to this day, even though it’s been 5 years.
You follow Jungkook’s mop of dark brown hair, taking in his man-bun for a second before walking behind him as quietly as possible. The party itself isn’t loud, the strange dream logic allows Jungkook to drown out any noise. He probably doesn’t realize he’s doing it, but that’s how dreams work, subconsciously. You follow him along a dark corridor, your eyes going wide when you realize this is a make-out corner, and then to your horror, you see him kiss someone. You can’t tell if it’s a man or a woman given the crappy lighting, but you can see that whoever it is, they’re really into the kiss.
Jungkook suddenly pushes them away, running towards the bathroom, and when you go to see what’s the matter, someone from his dreamscape runs past you to go help him. You peer in through the door, only opening it half way to find none other than Yoongi himself assisting a half-dead Jungkook on the ground. His labored breaths resound through the room, as you watch him grip the edges of the toilet seat.
“Jungkook-ah, I’m here now. Let’s get you home.” You’re quick to realize that’s not your Yoongi, although the two of them bear a striking resemblance.
“Hyung, do you love me?” You hear Jungkook croak out, the innocence in his voice suggesting that this was one of his early memories from school.
“Of course I do. Do you think I’d come all the way here if I didn’t?”
“I kissed her. Your girlfriend.” Instead of becoming upset, or dropping Jungkook, he just lets out a chuckle. You feel instantly jealous of Jungkook for getting such an expressive Yoongi. Your Yoongi is broken. Not to mention now, he has black hair. The Yoongi that’s helping Jungkook out of the colorful club restroom has mint-green hair.
“That’s fine. You know I’d even share her with you, if you asked.” You gawk at the boys as they walk past you, Jungkook oblivious to even you at that moment. It seems like he is the closest to Yoongi, even though you know for a fact Yoongi has never even gone out to bars in the human world. He’s a stickler when it comes to rules. This man is most definitely not someone you know.
You’re sure about one thing, though. He’s got to be the key to healing Jungkook. Yet, you have no idea where to even begin. For now, you settle on following Jungkook from a distance and approaching him when the time is right. This time, when the scene fades, you’re in the middle of a graveyard. Oh hell no.
You see none other than Yoongi, at least his picture, resting on the tombstone. You were so taken aback, you woke up out of shock, like an amateur.
“What? Can’t sleep?” He mocks as he flips to the next page of his book.
“I just saw you. Your past life, it was you!” Yoongi is quick to put his book away, standing up and walking towards you to check your temperature.
“Tell me what happened.”
“You had mint green hair. Jungkook was a close friend of yours, he even went to your funeral. I think he was reliving a memory.”
“But that’s not possible! Five years ago I wasn’t even in the human realm! How could this happen?”
“I don’t know. But I saw it on your tombstone. Yoongi Min, 1993-2016.” Yoongi mutters a couple curses in latin under his breath before turning back to you. “There was a human version of me living at the same time as a Banhee version of me?”
“It looks like it. I was going to seek him out but it doesn’t look like I can anymore.”
“Maybe the one upstairs willed it.”
“You mean to say God actually made it like that so you can help me out with the current situation?” He nods.
“Precisely. We have the same first names, different surnames, but we are most definitely identical. Here, I found a picture of him online. Don’t we look like twins?” You hate to admit it, but it looks like Yoongi will have to help you with this one.
“Creepy.”
“Let’s put a halt on that bet. It’s not fair to either of us if I help you out by pretending to be this Yoongi person,” Your lips curve upwards into a smirk. “But this Yoongi has mint-green hair.” Yoongi shakes his head, grabbing your hand as you reach up to mess with his hair.
You make a quick trip to a beauty store to collect some things like bleach, hair dye, and some makeup just for you. Yoongi glared at you since he was the one paying for everything but it’s not like he does any “obscure human jobs” as he would call them. You’re paid in human money, but all of your pay is collected by the facility that’s holding your family. You’d have to work for 50 years to free them, so during that time you have to depend on Yoongi for money. He gets an average of $3000 per month, plus the money that he’s been saving since the 1920’s, and luckily since the Great Depression only effected the “stupid humans who don’t know how to handle their money,” Yoongi only made more money in the end, racking up tenfold of his pay. The value of his money went up, and he was a millionaire now so it didn’t matter. 
He just hated spending money, is all.
You spent the rest of the night dying Yoongi’s hair, bleaching it first before waiting so you could add the mint green dye. Yoongi reminded you of how much he hated you every second of the way.
By 8 am, he was dyed and ready. His mint green hair looked resplendent. You licked your lips and sent him out, not realizing that it was already the next day.
Day 3
Yoongi bumped into Jungkook, breaking his own rules with the “coincidence.” You made sure that it was just a run-in though, something that will make Jungkook’s subconscious mind think about his Yoongi again. Yoongi was determined to help you now more than ever, since it seemed there was a human double of him born with the same name, but he was only a few years older than Jungkook, as opposed to being nearly a whole century older than him.
You knew this would mean Jungkook would dream of Yoongi tonight, and your Yoongi could slip unknowingly to find out more. You needed to know, it seemed as if Yoongi was essential to solving the problem behind Jungkook’s nightmares, the same ones that creep in during the day, leaving him restless and stroppy in the morning.
When night fell, you were ready to hide under the nearest tree you could find. It looks like today, Jungkook is thinking about his friend’s death. Some things remained unclear, as Jungkook fell flat on his face and began sobbing, stirring your own emotions as you empathize with him. Never have you ever felt this way about an assignment before, you only observed from a distance. Seeing Jungkook’s tears roll down his cheeks and his eyes turning puffy only made you more encouraged to help him. Yoongi watches you from his hiding place, smiling as you wipe your own tears, and wait for him to make the next move.
Yoongi walks up to him slowly, after what felt like an eternity, he is directly in front of him.
“Stand up, old friend.” Jungkook’s face lights up at his voice, and his cheeks have retained a lovely rosy hue that you’ve never seen before. He’s just so adorable, the way he chats away with your superior, believing him to be his long-dead friend. 
“I miss you a lot these days, you know?” Jungkook turns back to him with a sad smile as he observes his features. “Your green hair was truly iconic. Actually, I think you might have been the only person in Korea to pass away with mint-green hair.” He laughs along with Yoongi making sure to play his part and gain the intel you needed to execute the plan.
“Enough about the green hair. I’m here to check up on you. Heaven has really bad reception so I couldn’t connect to Earth.” Jungkook stifles a laugh at his joke, quieting down when he sees that Yoongi isn’t laughing along.
“I’m leaving this place soon, too,” 
Your face turns pale at his words. He couldn’t mean that he wanted to...there was no way. “I’m dying, like a flower blooming in reverse.” It sounded beautiful, when he said it. A part of you wanted to see it for yourself, a flower blooming in reverse. In this case, it seemed that Jungkook was the flower. And a flower can’t possibly turn back into a bud. The only thing it can do is shrivel up and die. You certainly didn’t want to see that happening to Jungkook any time soon.
“It’s called wilting. And also, what do you mean?” Yoongi puts a hand on his hip. You can tell he’s growing impatient.
“I’m losing my will to live. What’s the point of life if there’s no one to share it with? Jimin won’t even come visit your grave because he’s still in denial that you’re gone, Jin is living his dream in America in broadway doing shows, and everyone that we knew before is busy. They moved on with their lives, forgot about you, and us, we were the dream team.”
“That’s a part of life, Kook. I’m sorry if you feel that way now but just because I’m gone it doesn’t mean you should just put a halt on your life. We were the dream team, but now it’s just you. You have to put in an effort to move forward and carry those past experiences with you.”
You never knew the weight of a heavy heart before now.
You resisted running forward as well, letting Yoongi handle this as he was always meant to.
“It’s not that easy, you know? I’ve changed. It’s hard for me to even get a decent night’s sleep with all of the nightmares I have.” Yoongi realizes quickly that Jungkook hasn’t recognized that he is dreaming yet. It is common within humans not to understand that, even when it’s so obvious that their subconscious is altering their dreams while they are in the dream.
“Why don’t you try going to sleep now? I’m sure you can sleep well if you let go.” Yoongi gestures for you to come forward when Jungkook takes his advice and he goes to “bed.” You were in the middle of his bedroom, while he “slept” soundly on a bed. A dream within a dream. 
“What do we do? We’ve never tried to help someone like this before.” Yoongi shrugs.
“This way, if he gets too excited and wakes up, he will still be dreaming. It’s a simple banshee-dream surfing hack.” You roll your eyes, relaxing for only a minute before Jungkook begins to stir in his bed.
“Now, put your hand on his forehead. You are going to go inside his dream and confront his problems next to him.” You nervously look up at Yoongi, before putting your hand down on his forehead. Even his forehead is hot. Does this man have to be so sexy all the time? 
You were back on the empty road. Except this time Yoongi was there, but it wasn’t your Yoongi. This Yoongi was human, bleeding bright crimson blood, and he was as good as dead. You felt a rush of fear for a moment, having to remind yourself that the real Yoongi is watching you from outside, as you were inside a dream within a dream.
“Please, wake up.” Jungkook desperately shakes his friend, crying as he lies limp in his arms.
“He’s gone, Jungkook.”
“Why are you here again?!” He snaps, and all you can do is wonder how to save yourself the trouble of an explanation.
And then he wakes up.
Day 4
“Since you screwed up so bad yesterday, I wanted to ask you if you’ll stay out of trouble and avoid interacting with Jungkook unless you absolutely have to.”
“Yes sir.” You salute your mentor as you drink a glass of milk before curling up in your comfy bed.
Yoongi was going to join you again in the dreamscape, this time making Jungkook show him the answers without asking. He was a master of deception, making sure to lure his assignments into a false sense of security before making them face their biggest nightmare only to make them realize that they were their own enemy all along.
It was surprising how most of the time, things turned out exactly the same way, with there being a 99% chance that the reason why a person isn’t able to move forward in their life, it is due to their own fears of failure. One should never be afraid of the unknown, as the possibilities for success are endless.
All that he had to do was show Jungkook what could happen if he would just let go of his friend’s death.
He is standing in the middle of a dark and desolate dreamscape, as you duck behind a dead tree only to see that flowers bloom at your touch. This could only mean one thing: you were starting to creep into his subconscious, his deeper thoughts as you appeared many times in his dreams before and now he was actively thinking of you.
You felt flattered at first, before you realized that this could potentially ruin the entire plan.
You stay hidden and watch Yoongi as he bends and controls the environment to his will, showing Jungkook a vision of an ideal family. His future if he learned to let go. His picture-perfect (faceless) wife and two kids, his furnace burning bright as winter came early, and a little golden retriever puppy.
“This isn’t right. I should be married to her,” Jungkook mutters to himself, but it’s still loud enough for you to hear. You see Jungkook create a different version of you from his memory, but since it is a dream it isn’t perfect. You know it’s you because she’s wearing the same red dress you wore when you were fooling around in his dreams before the bet even started in the first place. “She’s the only one for me.” You feel something similar to an earthquake, as Jungkook’s dreamscape shakes violently. You come flying out of your hiding place, Yoongi’s hand reaching out to you a smidge too late as you face Jungkook.
“Who are you?” He inquires, once again reaching out to you as you gaze into his deep brown eyes, admiring his handsomeness before being yanked out from the dream by your superior.
You sit up straight in bed, as if you had just walked right out of the dream realm. Your awareness was intact, and Yoongi was sitting beside you, in his prized rocking chair. You knew with whatever you were planning now, you needed to involve Yoongi.
“Yoongi, do you know where Banshees come from?” Yoongi groans as you ask him the same question all the little ones back in your world ask you.
“No. As I told you before, there’s no exact science.”
“Then does that mean everything I am doing is for nothing? I’m helping my supposed “family” by doing this job but I don’t think I really understand who it is I’m helping. As far as I know, my parents didn’t raise me. They could be dead.” Yoongi sighs, putting a hand on your shoulder as you tell him about your worries.
“While some of that may be true, I know that you are the closest thing that I have to a sister right now. Even if you feel doubt about your birth family, stop thinking about them. I’m the loneliest creature on this planet. It’s been a long time since I’ve had a partner and I’m glad they chose you. You keep me company, and the house feels more lively with you. So what do you say? If you won’t do this for your real family, do this for me?” How could you possibly say no to him when he puts it like that?
“You are my real family, dummy. And who said I was quitting? I just don’t know if I can pull this off yet.” You share an embrace before running off to make yourselves some hot coco.
Meanwhile, across the street when Jungkook wakes up in his bed, he notices the couple running around in their apartment, and upon closer inspection, he noticed that you bore very similar resemblance to someone he saw in his dreams. He didn’t get a good look at the guy, but he also looked familiar.
Jungkook tucked the thought away in the back of his mind, planning to investigate it later, after work. He hops out of bed to get the day started, only thinking of his ideal girl and Yoongi. His past was starting to matter less and less to him, so he felt like he could accomplish a lot more today.
Maybe you were starting to make some progress on him.
Day 5
Jungkook’s dream started off a nightmare again. The recurring car crash scene played out before him, but instead of colliding with the glass and flying through the air in slow motion, he stopped it by holding out his hand.
“I knew it, I’m dreaming!” You and Yoongi share a look of fear as humans who are aware that they are dreaming are not to be messed with. If either of you exposed the magical world to a human, the kind of trouble you would get in is far worse than life in jail.
“We have to get out of here.” Whispered Yoongi as you met in the clouds. It was the only place you could hide, since Jungkook had awareness and it was a bad idea to be seen while he was in a state to make sense of things.
“How?”
“We need to wake him up somehow. Maybe we should trick him!” 
“Yoongi, what are you thinking of doing?” You ask as he stands up, preparing to jump down from the cloud.
“I’m gonna try and wake him up. With my true form.” You shake your head at that, trying to grab onto his legs as he floats down.
He turns an ugly shade of blue, his pale skin an unnatural shade of white, the same white that corpses turn after spending hours at the morgue. His hair turns black, and grows out just a little too long. His legs become crooked, bending an unnatural way as Jungkook turns around to face him.
“AHHHHHHH!” He wakes up immediately, pulling you and Yoongi out of your dream sequence.
“Good going. Although, I can never figure out how to make my legs do that.” Yoongi shrugs, before hopping out of bed and leaving you confused.
“Wait, you slept next to me last night? I don’t remember that…” He ignored you as he quickly got out his phone and started going through emails he had received from HQ in the human world. Who would’ve thought? The fancy software company uptown was a cover for all of the monsters working in the human world.
“Oh no, they’re asking me for a progress report.”
“So?” You didn’t know why he sounded so stressed all of a sudden.
“By now he shouldn’t be having that car nightmare. What are we gonna do?” He grips your shoulders as you comfort him with patting his hands.
“There, there. Don’t cry. I think we can do this in three days. We have to use Yoongi, though. The one from Jungkook’s memories.”
While you were busy with Yoongi in your apartment, Jungkook was groveling in his own place, remembering the painful events from the past which led him here. 
Yoongi tried killing himself, multiple times. But he saved Jungkook when he was about to get hit by a car. It wasn’t just him. His friends were there too. They came running to find them in the corner of an alleyway after Yoongi had been run over and Jungkook was too shocked to speak.
He was closer with Yoongi than any of the others so when he died, a part of himself died as well. Yoongi was depressed after his last girlfriend left him. They were so close but then out of the blue she ghosted him and blocked his number and everything. Jungkook couldn’t do much to help except play piano for the man when he asked. While Yoongi smoked on his ugly green couch, Jungkook would play.
The same song which haunts him to this day.
Day 6
“When will I see you again?” Jungkook asked as he reached out to the apparition of Yoongi.
He disappeared, turning into smoke when Jungkook tried to touch him. “Why am I so lonely?”
“You’re not lonely because he left. You’re lonely because you miss him.” When he turned around, you were standing before him, in your red dress. Just as he remembered seeing you the first time.
“You’re the girl who’s been appearing in my dreams every night.” You looked down at your gown, deciding to own up to the fact that you’d been showing up in his dreams.
“At first, I thought you were just a cute boy with a troubled past. But I see your past is a lot more than just that.” You sit next to him as he sits down in an empty patch of grass, surrounded by a beautiful garden at his feet.
“How did you get in my head? Surely I would remember what my own crush looks like.” You shake your head. At first, making him fall in love with you was your ultimate goal. You didn’t want to continue deceiving him like this, pretending that you were some angel when you’re not.
“I’m not anyone you know. I’m just here to help and leave after I’m done.”
“What do you mean?” With the way he was looking at you right now, you were a sure goner. His long, black curls forming a natural halo around his head as his face...his soft cheeks blush a light pink. Under the sunset and the dreamy atmosphere, Jungkook looks unreal. It didn’t take long for his lips to connect with yours.
When you woke up from the excitement, you knew you were screwed. There’s no way you could come back now.
“Yoongi!” You called out for your partner as he continued fixing hot chocolate for you. “I need to meet him in real life. Every time I get too close, he just wakes up. Dreaming isn’t going to help anymore, I need to take action in the real world.” 
“But Y/N, I can’t let you do that. He’s a human and if he even sees you, he’ll know you aren’t an ordinary girl.” You look at your own skin, dreading how you looked at the moment because you were no greek goddess when it came to looks. You just had control over what you looked like in the dream realm so you appeared human.
“I need to try, Yoongi. Maybe I’ll hide my face. My eyes give it all away. Or maybe I could get contacts like you.”
“No contacts. And no going out alone. How many times do I have to tell you? It is against the rules to initiate contact with a subject directly if not in the dream realm. Even then, you have to keep a distance because there’s a rule about that too.”
“Screw you and your rules! I’ll do what I want. This dream dust is mine.”
“Y/N, no!” Yoongi called out to you as you sprinkled the last of the dream dust on you, drifting off to sleep just to arrive at a party.
“Where am I?”
“You’re at our frat partayyy! Could you do me a favor and go make out with our newest recruit over there? It’s part of our initiation to kiss a girl before being sworn in.” You walked over to the direction the guy pointed you in, seeing a frightened Jungkook sitting alone.
“Hey, are you Jungkook?” You pretend like this is the first time you’re seeing him, since he didn’t know he was dreaming and a lot of dialogue is very scripted in these kinds of dreams as well.
“Yeah.”
“Come with me.” You pulled him towards the closet, making it so that when you entered, you would enter a different place.
“Where are we now?”
“Our first date. Cotton candy?” Jungkook didn’t question you, but he had his doubts as you headed to the Ferris Wheel. You were in the middle of a fair, but Jungkook didn’t seem to be enjoying himself at the moment.
“You’re the dream girl!” You whacked his arm, smiling sheepishly like you were having a natural reaction to what he said even though you kissed a couple dreams ago.
“Aw, I didn’t think I was your ideal type. I guess we got lucky, huh?” You kissed his cheek as he stayed completely still, blinking a few times as the world around you started to crumble. He was about to wake up, but you didn’t want to be present when he did. You quickly used your power to lull his dream self to sleep, putting him down under a safe place before going into his dream within his dream.
“Jungkook! What are you doing here?” He was currently sitting with a group of people, around a campfire as you ran towards him in a new outfit so it looked like you randomly stumbled upon this place.
“What a coincidence. I was out here toasting marshmallows and I found you.” You felt a pang of guilt in your heart from lying to him but you couldn’t disclose your identity so quickly! You were keen on healing him.
“Do you wanna get out of here?”
“No way, I’m not ditching my friends.” You waved your hand behind your back, making the people disappear.
“Too bad, because it looks like they already left you,” You giggle as he groans, before grabbing a stick for you to toast. “Thank you.” You snack on the marshmallow as he asks you some things.
“So are we a thing now?” You nearly choke on your stick as Jungkook awaits an answer.
“I guess. I never really liked labels though, how about we just call it “us?” It’s a lot easier when we don’t have to explain it.”
“You’re right,” Jungkook stays silent for a bit, making the entire exchange feel almost...normal. “You like me, right?” You stay silent for a few seconds, enjoying the calm environment for once.
“Yes.” 
When you wake up this time, It’s a lot more clearer and satisfying. You finished your dream, and now Jungkook trusts you. You knew it would be only a matter of time before Jungkook was fully healed.
“Are you happy now? You went back into his dream and threw the rulebook out of the window,” Says Yoongi as you feel a slight pain in the back of your head. “Oh, and I didn’t try to move you from your spot because you just looked like you were sleeping peacefully.”
“Jerk.” You get up, dusting yourself off and glaring at your “partner” before going off to change. You liked wearing different clothes around the house because it made you feel like time was moving forward. Or else everyday just feels like the same day repeating over and over again.
You also put on some makeup, forgetting in between that you had some lipstick on so you ended up swallowing some products but it was okay because nothing was too harmful. Monsters ate all kinds of trash back in your world, anyways. The foundation gives you a more natural look since your skin was an ashy shade of blue and very pale without it.
You went about your day like normal until a doorbell rang, alerting you and Yoongi. “I didn’t see any emails about a dream inspector checking up on us today.” Yoongi whispers as you stay completely still.
“Maybe it’s a surprise visit?” You hoped no one found out about your selfish actions while you were in Jungkook’s dream. Kissing him was already a huge breach of the rules.
When you open the door, you’re at a loss for words. Jungkook was standing before you, looking at you and Yoongi like he had seen a ghost. Before he could say anything, you pull him inside the apartment, shutting the door behind him.
Day 7
You put Jungkook to sleep before saying anything else, silent as mice as he rested on your multicolored retro bean bag. Yoongi paces back and forth, flipping through his handbook and nursing you internally.
“Dammit. There’s nothing about this in the rulebook.”
“That’s because regular people solve these things with their heads. You have a brain, so use it!” You knock some sense into him before kneeling down to take Jungkook’s pulse.
“Let’s go into his dream and see what it is that needs fixing. Maybe when he wakes up I can sprinkle him with some five-minute forgetting powder.”
“Do you think that’ll work?” You ask with worry as Yoongi rushes to look at all of the beakers filled with magical potions and fairy dust and other things he might need to make dream dust. You still didn’t have the recipe.
“I don’t know. But I trust you and after seeing how you handled most of this on your own, I’ll let you finish it. Alone.” You squeak in excitement, staying quiet as Jungkook snores lightly and turns over in the beanbag.
“Hurry, he’s gonna wake up.” Yoongi panicked and spilled some sleep powder on him, that’s why Jungkook was unconscious but he wasn’t in such a state where he would dream. It was a temporary formula, meant to last only a few minutes before he woke up again. Unless Yoongi doused him in dream dust. You got ready to follow him into his dreams again one last time, as Yoongi held the bag of dust over your heads, making sure you were snuggled up beside Jungkook in the bed before sprinkling you both with dream dust. 
“I must be dreaming.” Jungkook blinks twice as you come into view. He was currently standing in your apartment, the same one he visited before he passed out. Except Yoongi was nowhere to be seen, it was just you.
“Would you like some tea, coffee, water?” You offer, acting like you were another figure in his dreams.
“Water is fine, thanks,” You watch him swipe his fingers through his long, curly hair. He looks so dreamy, sitting before you on the breakfast bar where you eat with Yoongi everyday. You wouldn’t mind spending every morning with him. Jungkook seems like the ideal husband. Yet the idea of settling down with a human scares you, you would never be allowed to expose your true self to him. Even if you dated him, you’d have to end up leaving him one day. It’s the only way to protect your world. Humans can be dangerous and destructive creatures. Who knows what would happen if Jungkook went to the news? You would be called a freak, or even worse by local news stations.
You got lost in your thoughts for a moment before Jungkook brought you back. “Why did you move here? To this town, I mean.” Jungkook knew this city was relatively tiny and all of the people knew each other.
“I wanted to get away. From responsibilities, my old life.”
“Did your boyfriend want that too?” You nearly spit out your drink at that, Jungkook thought Yoongi was your boyfriend?
“I’m sorry, I don’t have a boyfriend. Only an older brother, if I have to label him that.”
“Oh, I see.” Jungkook sips his water in silence, watching you with those innocent doe eyes.
“What’s troubling you?” You ask him as he suddenly looks sad, morrow filling his gaze as he continues to stare at you.
“I’m all alone in this world.” He sighs, as you put a hand on his shoulder.
“No you’re not. You have me, and your memories of Yoongi.” Jungkook’s breathing turns shallow.
“You’re just an extension of me. As much as I want you to be real I can’t even remember what your face looks like,” With all of your might, you try to make your surroundings more detailed just so Jungkook could remember the dream better when he wakes up. “What is your name?” He asks after careful consideration. 
“Y/N.”
“What a beautiful name.” He kisses you ever so slightly, leaning in after you backed away momentarily.
“You’re a distraction.” You shut your eyes tightly as he places the most tender kisses on your exposed neck.
“What does that make you?” He grins, cheekily sliding his tongue over the surface of your lips.
“I’m only a woman.” You give into your desires, kissing him full on the lips after realizing that you don’t care about the consequences to your actions. You want to kiss him, dammit!
“You make me feel less lonely.”
“Here, take this with you.” You press a picture into his warm palm, leaving him to wonder why you were acting so hasty.
“Why? What is it?”
“When you feel lonely or sad, just look at this picture. It’s a picture of me.” Jungkook looks down for a moment, to examine the item you gifted to him.
“Why are you acting like we don’t have much time together? You’re gonna keep visiting me, right?” You wipe your nose. You and Jungkook were never meant to be.
“Goodbye, Jungkook.”
“Y/N, wait!”
When Jungkook woke up, he felt something sticking to his palms. He was alone, but he could have sworn he felt another warmth. In his hand was a polaroid picture of a girl smiling at the camera. He felt comforted just looking at the picture, and turning it around he found a message on the back.
“I’ll always be with you- Y/N.” Jungkook smiles, looking at the bright afternoon sun as it blinds him through the sheer white curtains. It looks like he was able to meet his dream girl after all.

Love Letter To You 💌 (Iwaizumi Hajime/Reader)
on [Ao3]
➸Rated T, fem!Reader, 7k+words  ➷Fluff, some angst, humor, confessions, misunderstandings, twins with Tooru   ➷You’ve had a longtime crush on Iwaizumi Hajime, and you can honestly say you don’t recall ever not having a crush on him. He’s your best friend, who also happens to be your twin brother’s best friend.
But that’s the problem, he’s still just your best friend.
What better way to tell him how you feel than through a letter confessing your feelings? Nothing could go wrong with that marvelous plan.
[Masterlist]
Tumblr media
You let out a long sigh of defeat, scribbling across the page uselessly.
Realistically it’s a waste of ink if you’re just going to crumple the page and toss it anyways, but it provides some minor release of frustration at least.
Helplessly, you unlock your phone to google ‘How to write a love letter—‘ before entirely giving up on that idea.
Red faced and slightly embarrassed at the thought of resorting to a shitty wikihow article on love letters, you bury your face in your arms.
Taking that moment to collect yourself, you dive back into writing the confession letter to your longtime crush and friend, Iwaizumi Hajime.
Easier thought than done of course, but you’re sick of dancing around the topic and dragging it out.
You, Hajime, and your brother Tooru, are in your third year now. It’s better to rip the bandaid off, your older sister told you once.
But she’s married, and has Takeru. Needless to say you’re a little bitter to listen to her advice when she’s got everything sorted out, and when her husband was the one who confessed first.
You let out a whine of frustration, she is right in the end, she always is.
...Especially considering you’ve harbored this crush for quite some time now.
You sigh, tapping your lip with the edge of your pen.
Hajime isn’t one for dramatics, so simplicity is best. But there obviously needs to be more than ‘I like you’ scrawled on the page.
Instead, you decide to just write out a ‘I can’t believe I’m doing this but here goes nothing,’ (more like everything).
The line is followed by why you like him to begin with.
His strength, his passion, his humor, the other adjectives that follow suit, the fact he doesn’t let Tooru get away with being manipulative and bad mannered, all the good qualities that made you fall for Hajime.
And well, you’ve liked him for a long time. And you’d hate to let it go without ever having tried to tell him.
Tumblr media
“Hey, can you—“
The previously mentioned bad mannered Tooru bursts in your room unannounced, and you let out a squeak in your surprise. You hastily shut the notebook to hide the letter.
“Tooru what the fu—“
“Can you stop yelling for a second? I need a face mask, I’m all out.”
“Can you learn to knock?”
Regardless of your irritation, you shove a face pack into his hands, while pushing him out of your room.
“Jeez, we shared the womb at some point but you cross the line at me coming into your room? We even used to share a bunk bed too! I miss those days.”
He sighs, but it’s cut off by the slamming door in his face.
“Thanks for the face mask!”
His voice is muffled through the door as you hear his footsteps echo down the hall.
Sighing in the relief of his absence, you slip the letter into an envelope and seal it shut.
You’re not even gonna bother to read it over, feeling far too nervous and embarrassed after having actually written out a confession to Hajime. And you don’t want to stress yourself more feeling self conscious about your handwriting, grammar, syntax, and whatever bullshit.
You wish you were bold enough to tell him to his face, feeling the letter might be a bit of a cop out, but you quickly disregard the notion.
Thinking about staring into his dark eyes and professing your love sends chills down your spine, you’re almost positive you’d bolt after barely stuttering out an ‘I like you.’ This way, you’re definitely able to get more than three words out. At least, that’s what you tell yourself to believe this is a good plan.
Now to just get the courage to hand it to him.
Tumblr media
When the next day arrives, you find out you never actually gathered the courage to hand it to him.
The morning was spent with Tooru chattering away on the route to school.
Handing a letter to your childhood friend with a heart stamped over it in front of Tooru’s annoyingly perceptive eyes, directly in his field of vision, didn’t sit well with you.
For good reason, he’d definitely be clued in on your crush by the evidence before him. Not to mention Hajime would hate that kind of attention coming from Tooru.
In other words, it was the most inopportune time. You spent the entire walk pink faced and scowling, Hajime eyeing you with a brow raised and Tooru doing his best to lead the conversation for unusually quiet twin.
Tumblr media
And that’s why you find yourself shoving it into his locker during practice.
The boys are busy in a set, and the coaches won’t notice you slipping away from your managerial duties for the moment.
“Oh. Oh fuck. I can’t do this!”
You suddenly panic, pressing your hands to your face in mortification.
“What am I doing?!”
But it’s too late, the deed is done, you’ve already gone and slipped the little letter containing all your secret feelings for Hajime between the slots of his locker. And there’s no way you can deface school property by taking a crowbar to the damn thing.
You shuffle out of the locker room, thankfully unnoticed. The last thing you needed in this state of utter disarray was to be caught red faced leaving the men’s locker room.
You just hope Hajime will set the letter aside and you can deal with the consequences later.
Or maybe he’ll set the letter aside permanently and forget of it’s existence entirely. That’d be a good option.
Except for the fact you would never know if he just forgot about the letter, or if he’s just ignoring the contents of it and in turn shutting you down and ruining your friendship and ignoring you for the rest—
The sound of whistle rattles in your eardrums and you jump, startled by the sharp noise.
“Clean up, boys! Head home, get something to eat, and rest well.”
Coach Irihata’s gruffly gives directions, and the team follows with a resounding ‘Yes Coach!’
You spend the entirety of clean up ignoring everyone. Not on purpose, no, but your nerves have absolutely skyrocketed.
When Matsukawa tried to say something to you, you nearly dropped all the water bottles. Thankfully, he caught the end of the box before you could create another mess to clean up.
Whatever he’d said to you went in one ear and out the other, as you caught Hajime’s hard stare at you.
“Sorry about that! Thanks, Mattsun.”
You bow out of the conversation, dipping out before anything else can be exchanged. Mostly so you can physically get yourself out of Hajime’s view, you don’t think you can handle seeing him after he finds what’s in that locker.
Tumblr media
You wait outside, contemplating whether you should walk home ahead without Tooru and Hajime. If he stone cold rejects you, you might as well just do that. Knowing Hajime though, he’d never be so callus to you.
There are times he’s reprimanded you for having that patent Shittykawa personality, of course. You hate to admit it, and you’ll never be caught admitting it aloud, but you and Tooru are cut from the same cloth in the end. Though much to your affection, Hajime’s always been more gentle when he raps you on the head. You just hope he retains that same generosity when he inevitably rejects you.
He might just feel the same, though. Thoughts of Hajime pulling you aside to tell you he shares your feelings fill your head. You can almost feel him ruffling your hair, scolding you for being stupid to think otherwise.
The scenario makes you blush, and your hopes rise as you plop onto a bench and resolve yourself to wait.
Tumblr media
“Shittykawa better hurry up. I don’t want to have to wait extra time, I swear I’ll ditch him.”
Hajime grumbles, swinging open his locker to pull out his casual wear.
“He said he wanted to talk to Coach Irihata.”
Hanamaki informs, but Hajime just scoffs at the info.
“Probably to get some copies of another team’s match. He’s gonna stay up watching it too, more trouble for his sister to wake him up in the morning.”
Hajime slips a sweater over his head, and the other laughs knowingly at his observation.
“Poor, sweet Oikawa-chan, cursed to be twins with someone as overbearing and overzealous as Oikawa.”
Hanamaki clicks his tongue, pulling a loose tee on, just barely missing the sour look Hajime sends him for the ‘poor, sweet Oikawa-chan’ bit.
“Ah! I-Iwaizumi-senpai, you dropped this!”
Kindaichi is delicately holding some sort of letter, presenting it to Hajime nervously. Why the boy is always so skittish around him he could never understand.
Hajime carefully takes the letter, examining it.
“This isn’t mine.”
He furrows his brow, he’s never seen the thing before.
“It fell out of your locker.”
Kunimi points out, and Hanamaki and Matsukawa choose that moment to tune back in.
“Did an Oikawa love letter get put in the wrong locker?”
Hanamaki teases, and Kunimi chooses that moment to tune out back out.
“What?”
“There’s a heart on it, it’s clearly some girl trying to confess.”
Matsukawa taps the heart sticker sealed over the top.
“Or guy!”
Kindaichi blurts out, and Kunimi rolls his eyes heavily at that.
Hajime goes to shove it into Tooru’s locker, ready to complain about his fanbase diving into the men’s locker room while they’re practicing, but Matsukawa’s swipes the letter from his hands.
“Hold on, you don’t know if it’s actually for Oikawa.”
“Who else would it be for?”
Hajime raises an irritated brow, already wishing he were at home.
“Could be for me.”
Hanamaki winks, tearing the letter open.
“No way, Hanamaki.”
“Oh yes way, Matsukawa.”
The two peer over the contents of the letter with excitement.
Kindaichi mumbles something about invasion of privacy and Kunimi eyes the situation from behind the locker, a little curious after all.
“Dear Hajime,”
Hajime blinks in mild shock at hearing the two words that sound from Hanamaki’s lips.
“Hold on—“
He reaches for the letter in disbelief, but the two swivel to block him out.
“‘I can’t believe I’m doing this. I’ve never done this kind of thing before, but I know you’d understand,’”
Hanamaki reads out, and Matsukawa chimes in,
“That’s cute, she’s embarrassed.”
“‘That’s what I like the most about you. You’re understanding, hardworking,” etcetera, etcetera, haha wait ‘You don’t let Tooru get away with being a brat’,”
Hanamaki practically busts a gut, and Hajime growls out trying to snatch the letter back but Matsukawa’s got it back in his grasp,
“She did not say that.... Hah! She did! Wow, this girl really likes you, Hajime~”
He teasingly refers to him.
“Hey, asshole, give it back.”
“We’re in too deep now, Hajimeee, sorry!”
Hanamaki sidesteps a smack that definitely would’ve left a bruise. Kunimi briefly thinks his senpais should be this level of eager to read in their studies.
“The stationary is really cute too, wish you could see it Haaajiiimee. It’s got little hearts and— no fucking way.”
Hanamaki cuts himself off, and at this point everyone is eyeing the trio’s shenanigans.
“Just give it back, dickhead.”
Hajime glares as Hanamaki points at something on the letter for Matsukawa to see. After a moment of analyzing he bursts into laughter alongside Hanamaki.
Hajime doesn’t think he’s heard Matsukawa laugh this hard about anything, and it’s kind of pissing him off how he’s only choosing now to start being more vocal.
“What the fuck are you laughing about?”
Hajime growls, feeling especially pissed he’s being left out of his own damn letter. The two bumbling, annoyingly tall fools wipe actual tears of laughter away.
“I-It’s not signed!”
Hajime gapes at the response, reaching for the letter again which Hanamaki so graciously allows him to take.
And true to their audio book version of the letter, it writes ‘Dear Hajime,’ at the top, kind words about himself, includes some badmouthing of Shittykawa that he momentarily appreciates, and at the bottom...
“You’re kidding me?”
“I’m sorry man, that sucks.”
Matsukawa pats his back in faux comfort, hiding his snort of laughter.
“And what’s this?”
In his distraction, he didn’t notice Tooru entering the locker room until he’s already plucked the letter from his hands.
“Hey fucker—“
He just got it back, but Tooru is already doing a second rendition of the audio book love letter.
“‘Dear Hajime,’ what the hell? This is so annoying!”
He puts the letter down to glare at Hajime, the look and tone of annoyance send a spike of anger in him.
“What are you on about? You get letters like this all the time!”
He’s ready to beat Tooru’s bratty ass but his response stops him in his tracks,
“Yeah, but not from my sister. I wish she’d write me heartfelt letters like this. But nooo, she’s always ganging up on me with you!”
Tooru angrily pokes him on the chest, but Hajime doesn’t retaliate. His world is spinning.
“What?”
“Oikawa-senpai, that letter wasn’t signed.”
Kunimi informs, very helpfully, and Matsukawa and Hanamaki eye each other with shocked expressions.
“Haaah? You guys are trying to tell me you don’t even recognize your own manager’s handwriting?”
His hands are at his hips, letter clutched between his fingertips.
“Someone as annoyingly perceptive as you might, but the rest of us are still humans.”
Hanamaki bites back, and Matsukawa snatches the letter in place of the dumbfounded Hajime.
“Hey, I didn’t get to read that!”
Tooru growls, but Matsukawa shoves his hand against Tooru’s face before he can lunge for it,
“....I think Iwaizumi’s the only one who should’ve read this.”
He mutters, reaching out to hand the letter back.
Tumblr media
You lay seated at the bench, still, elbows to your knees and fingertips interlocked before your mouth. Your leg shakes with impatience and a swell of anxiety.
“What the hell is taking so long!”
You throw your head back with a cry, cupping your cheeks.
In an attempt to resolve the tension you feel coiling in your gut, you slide off the bench to your feet, reentering the gym to a find the stragglers.
Most of the team is already gone, but it’s strange how long the rest are taking. Normally, Kunimi is the first out with Kindaichi following close.
But you’ve yet to see either of them, or Mattsun and Makki.
Tooru is slow as always, that’s a given considering he’s late to practice half the time and late to leave, but Hajime usually keeps him in check.
You haphazardly swing open the locker room door, not caring if any of them aren’t presentable.
“Can you hurry up?! It’s cold out and I don’t wanna walk home by my...self...”
The end of your sentence trails off, losing its bite as you lock eyes with a wide eyed Matsukawa.
Who happens to be holding a letter, a very, very familiar letter.
Your cheeks turn a hot red at the realization, that’s your confession letter for Hajime.
You shift your eyes around the room to assess the damage. Kunimi and Kindaichi are averting their gazes nervously. Hanamaki and Matsukawa look like they want the ground to open up and swallow them whole, guilt written all over their features.
Tooru looks like he’s in the middle of a hissy fit, and you feel humiliated thinking he was here for what more than likely transpired, judging by the open letter in Matsukawa’s hands.
The thing that bothers you the most is Hajime’s slack jawed expression, opening and closing his mouth unsure what to say for once.
You can’t help but take heavy footed steps, the loud stomps echoing the uncomfortably quiet locker room. You feel as if your embarrassment and humiliation is tangible, the sheer awkwardness sitting so thick in the air you could cut it with a knife.
Matsukawa pales when you stand before him, and though he towers over you, he can’t help but feel intimidated by the anger stricken look etched across your face.
You swipe the letter from his hands, the paper sounds with a rip as it crumples in your shaking grasp.
You shift your gaze to Hajime, and Matsukawa almost sighs in relief at the attention being redirected off of him.
You glare, feeling the most contempt and anger for Hajime you’ve ever felt in your life. The petty arguments you had growing up can’t even compare.
“I-I— It wasn’t— I didn’t...“
Hajime can’t come up with anything to say. He’s never been one to stumble over his words, but the misunderstanding is set in stone while the guilt tears away at him.
He doesn’t even know why he’s feeling guilty, he didn’t even do anything wrong. Those lanky bastards stole his stuff from him, and he didn’t even know it was from you to begin with.
But that didn’t stop his heart from sinking when he saw the heartbreak and anger on your face.
“If you didn’t like me, you should’ve just said so. You didn’t have to show everyone!”
You yell out, voice unsteady, covering your face and willing yourself not to cry just yet.
You’re angry that they were reading the letter that was meant for Hajime’s eyes only. Angry that the red blush from the humiliation won’t leave your face, and it only serves to make you more red faced. There’s this sticky hot itch that’s burning at your skin. It’s starting to prickle the back of your neck, you just want to go home.
You thought Hajime would never do something like this, you were almost certain of it. He wasn’t the type to entertain locker room talk and banter about girls with his guy friends. And you definitely didn’t think he’d be the type to let your friends make a joke of you by reading out your stupid love letter.
You should’ve never written it in the first place.
“Hey, we didn’t know—“
Hanamaki tries but you’re quick to interrupt him,
“I’m not talking to you right now Hanamaki!”
He shuts his mouth the second he hears your scratchy voice. You didn’t even bother to look back at him, but he can probably guess the look you have on your face. He rubs the back of his neck, lips pressed into a thin line.
Kindaichi is looking at Hanamaki with a sorry expression, and Kunimi’s eyes have been trained on his locker the whole time, silently wringing his hands together.
You feel a pang of guilt wedge it’s way into your already complex fray of emotions, feeling bad for lashing out so hard on him. Feeling bad for making the first years so anxious.
The feelings are only brief. You disregard them when the image your Seijou teammates laughing about the letter inserts itself into your mind.
You sigh, lips pursing as you shift your watery eyes to your feet.
Why isn’t Hajime doing anything?
“Whatever. I’m going home. And don’t follow me.”
You give Hajime one last hard look before turning on your heel, storming out of the locker room.
You make sure to pitch the letter in the garbage on the way out, cursing the flimsy paper for causing so much turmoil.
You wait to exit the gym before you let the floodgates open.
Tears pour down your face, as you head back home.
At some point you stop bothering to wipe them away, since they just keep coming.
The sounds of the night fill your ears, cars passing by and wildlife calling out, but it’s still so quiet.
The lonely walk leaves you entertaining intrusive thoughts. How could Hajime feel the same way? It was foolish to think there was a chance, you’re his best friend, and his other best friend’s twin.
He must have felt so uncomfortable when he saw the contents of the letter. So grossed out he just had to show the rest of the guys in there.
The things Hajime did that once melted your heart nearly make you cringe, had it been platonic the whole time? And now you’ve misread it and ruined all those special moments, you’ve practically gone and reset your relationship status to strangers.
The head pats and hair ruffles. His rough hand, much bigger than yours, running through your locks or petting your head.
The rare, genuine smile he gives you alone. You swear you’ve only caught it on the volleyball court a few times, but it fills you with butterflies to see it in the comfort of your movie nights.
When you walk home together while Tooru is off gallivanting or practicing, he always makes sure to take you to your doorstep. Something you never understood considering you live next door to him, but it filled you with warmth every time.
The tears pool out harder when you think about how you’re going to lose all of it.
You let the thoughts snowball in your head, wondering how you’ll recover from this, how you’ll get over it, as the hot tears drip down you’re chin to the concrete.
Tumblr media
The boys are left to stew in the silence of your wake.
None of them knew what to say, they only just realized it was their manager’s letter to Hajime moments before.
“Kunimi, Kindaichi,”
The two stiffen when they hear Tooru’s voice, his expression is neutral but his usual cheery tone is swapped for a terse, stern one.
“Get home. I know you two weren’t a part of this.”
The two nod tight lipped at their captain, collecting their bags. Kunimi keeps his eyes at his feet, and Kindaichi risks a glance at the upperclassman to see their faces turned down with regret. Hajime looks worse, brows furrowed and clearly distraught. He bites his lip before swiftly making his exit with Kunimi.
“Oikawa, you know we had no idea she wrote it.”
Hanamaki sighs, finishing what he didn’t get to say earlier.
“I don’t care, the damage is already done Hanamaki. You assholes are the reason my precious little sister is walking home, alone, to cry herself to sleep.”
Tooru’s gaze is as harsh as his words, the normal light in his honey brown eyes is traded for a darker look.
Normally, Hanamaki would correct Tooru by saying he’s only a few minutes older, but the current situation and the way his captain neglected to call him ‘Makki’ for once makes him abandon the idea promptly.
“I expect full handwritten apologies from both of you at practice tomorrow.”
Tooru demands, folding his arms across his chest.
“Honestly I don’t think she wants to see another letter—“
Matsukawa quiets himself as soon as Tooru whips his head to stare him down with narrowed eyes.
“Yep. On it. We’ll get to it right now.”
Matsukawa presses his hand to Hanamaki’s back and pushes him forward, briefly wondering if Tooru will let them leave the locker room.
But once their passed him, and out the threshold of the gym, they exhale deeply.
 “You’re awfully quiet.”
Tooru turns his attention to Hajime, and the furrow in his brows and his scowl only deepens.
“I don’t want to be scolded by you right now, Oikawa.”
Hajime’s voice is rough. Tooru merely shrugs, arms still crossed.
“Fine. I won’t then. You look terrible enough already.”
Hajime would glare at him if he had the capacity to right now.
Tooru raises his brow expectantly after a beat of silence, though Hajime doesn’t know what expectations he could possibly have for him.
He’s dumbfounded, shocked, irritated, guilt ridden, honestly feels like dog shit at the moment, but at the same time...
“She likes me?”
Hajime covers his mouth and mutters lowly under his breath, but Tooru hears his realization and rolls his eyes with as much drama as he could muster.
“Did you miss her whole rant?! Or did you not read the letter?”
Tooru huffs, taking a few long strides to pluck the tattered paper from the trash.
“Of course I did! It’s all I can’t think about right now!”
Tooru cuts Hajime off by shoving the letter into his chest roughly. Hajime reaches up reflexively to grab it, feeling a bit somber at the torn state of it.
“I’m going home. Don’t come over.”
Hajime doesn’t think he could face you in his current state anyways, or yours for that matter. He saw your watery eyes holding back tears, and doesn’t think he can handle seeing you cry because of him.
“And get your shit together by tomorrow morning, yeah?”
The way Tooru tacks a smile at the end of that sentence makes Hajime want to hit him, but he knows Tooru’s right to act so bitter. For once.
“Yeah.”
He mutters, carefully folding the letter.
“Oh,”
Tooru stops in his tracks at the entrance to the locker room, causing Hajime to glance up.
“If you break my sister’s heart, I’m beating you up.”
Tooru calls out, tossing the gym keys to him. Hajime catches it with ease, while gritting his teeth.
That’s fair. He’d honestly have to let him, he’d hate to break your heart. He hates that it’s breaking right now.
“And if you date my sister, I’m gonna beat you up.”
Tooru pokes his tongue out and flashes a peace sign. So it’s a lose-lose?!
“Just go home, Shittykawa!”
Hajime spins around to hide the flush growing on his cheeks, willing himself to not beat Tooru’s ass for today.
He sits on the bench gathering his thoughts, giving time for Tooru to get a head start. He’d rather not awkwardly trail a few steps behind him while contemplating his relationship dilemmas.
“She likes me.”
He finds himself repeating, pressing a closed fist to his lips.
“...and she thinks that I don’t like her.”
Hajime groans, covering his face in his frustration.
Tumblr media
A knock sounds at your door, and you’re positive it’s Tooru. He has a pretentious way of knocking. You’re also positive you don’t want to see him.
You turn over on your side, burying your face into the plethora of blankets and pillows you’ve huddled yourself into.
If you pretend to sleep, maybe he’ll go away.
“I know you aren’t sleeping!”
Tooru’s voice calls through the door, with an annoying lilt.
Curse this damn twin telepathy or whatever the fuck you call it.
You slide out of bed wiping a few more tears, knowing he’s not going to leave unless he gets his way.
“How’d you know?”
You open the door, giving space for him to enter.
“Hah! How could you after getting so brutally humiliated, heartbroken, and embarrassed?”
He makes himself at home on your bed and you grimace at the sheer audacity of it all.
“I should’ve put on the deadbolt when I got home and locked you out of the house entirely.”
You take a seat beside him, eyes catching the convenience store bag on his lap.
“Kidding, of course. I think it was worse for them. The way you stared down Mattsun? I thought he was gonna pass out. And you shut Makki up real quick too. Ahh, they must feel terrible.”
He eagerly recounts, and you’re suddenly reminded of what a bad personality your brother has.
“Don’t remind me.”
You sigh, after having time to think about it you started to feel a little bad for the way you reacted, they clearly looked guilty, and they’re your friends too.
“Don’t worry, I chewed them out. They’ve got a surprise for you tomorrow.”
You’ve already been dreading tomorrow, but Tooru doesn’t give you time to question what he means by his comment. He’s rustling through the bag, piling your favorite snacks and ice cream flavor onto your lap.
“Ice cream too? I must’ve looked pathetic!”
Though ice cream seems like a classically depressing heartbreak treat to have, you smile for the first time that night.
“You still do! Eat up.”
He cheers, procuring a spoon seemingly out of nowhere. You choose to ignore that comment this time.
“I thought ‘It’s bad to binge junk food, and especially so late at night’!”
You recount part of Tooru’s endless nagging when he caught you and Hajime during a movie night. Truthfully you think he was just jealous and feeling especially spiteful that he wasn’t a part of it.
“It is, but I’ll excuse it this once.”
He turns his nose up bitterly, and you can tell he’s recalling the same memory.
“Thank you, Tooru.”
You’re speak softly, almost brought to more tears at how thoughtful he’s been after the incident.
“Don’t sweat it. And don’t get too bent out of shape over Iwa-chan. You know he’s a good guy. When he’s not hitting and insulting me.”
He frowns, rubbing his arm as if he got a phantom pain.
“He’s the best when he’s doing that though!”
You’re crying again, much to your dismay, and you turn away from Tooru to eat your ice cream in tears.
“Let it out. Tomorrow’s a new day, alright? And at least get some sleep.”
He pats your head, and you feel the bed shift as he stands up to leave the room.
“You too! Don’t think I didn’t see you with those Karasuno and Shiratorizawa match history dvds!”
You call out through your sniffling teariness, and he sticks his tongue at you before leaving the room.
You set the snacks aside with a sigh, leaning back against the wall.
Your head is practically swimming, feeling overwhelmed by the events in the locker room as well as Tooru’s kindness (and semi-crypticness).
Tumblr media
You tried to heed Tooru’s advice for once and attempted to get some semblance of rest, but you ended up sleeping rather poorly.
And to top it off, you’re lacking extra sleep considering you woke up earlier than normal. That was intentional though, entirely so you could skip walking to school with Tooru and Hajime.
Especially Hajime. You’re not sure you can face him just yet. The thought alone makes you want to explode.
You toe your shoes on at the door and sling your school bag over your shoulder, braving yourself for the day that awaits you.
When you swing the front door open, in some grand cosmic scheme the universe has against you, who do you see sitting on the steps before your house?
Iwaizumi fucking Hajime, of course.
“Iwaizumi fucking Hajime.”
You huff, just who you absolutely did not want to see.
Your name leaves his lips in his surprise. Upon hearing his own name being so bitterly called, he quickly stumbles to stand up.
Hajime averts his eyes, rubbing the back of his neck.
“Hey.”
Is what he comes up with.
“Hey? How long have you been sitting out here?”
A frown tugs at your lips, and you try not to let your eyes water at the sight of his face alone.
“I figured you’d try to leave early, I wanted to catch you before then. So... maybe an hour?”
He runs a hand through his hair, and you try to hide your shock at the information. Upon closer inspection, it looks like he hadn’t slept much either. Though, somehow, he still manages to look that rugged type of handsome. You kick that dangerous line of thinking to the curb before it continues.
“An hour?!”
“I didn’t get the chance to talk to you last night, after... yeah. I wanted to give you some space.”
He trails off and you bite your lip, readying yourself for the rejection speedily approaching.
You simply nod for him to continue. You don’t think you can trust your voice right now, and you feel your knees turn to jelly, shaking from the anxiety resurfacing.
“Your letter,”
You glance up when you hear the ruffling paper from his pocket. When he unfolds it, you see that it’s been smoothed out and the rips from having been recklessly snatched from Matsukawa’s hands have been carefully taped.
Your heart swells at the sight of the repair, but you bite down the hope that’s starting to peak.
 “You didn’t sign it.”
. . .
“Hah?”
You blink at him, jaw dropping dumbly.
“You forgot to sign it. I didn’t know it was from you at first.”
He grins at your animated reaction, and you’re once again caught up in how handsome he looks with a smile on his face.
You quickly shake that thought, physically and mentally. Your cheeks bloom pink as you grab for the letter.
“I didn’t?!”
You’re eyes scan to the bottom of the page, and you notice that you in fact did not sign the damn letter.
How could you be so careless?!
You suddenly recall Tooru clamoring into your room for a face mask like some heathen that has no respect or morals for personal boundaries. You also remember that it caused you to scramble to hide the letter. After you’d been interrupted, you just sealed the note away.
“Tooru...”
You growl out, hiding your face with the page in your embarrassment.
Hajime laughs lowly at that, he doesn’t need any context to believe it turned out to be Tooru’s fault.
“Matsukawa and Hanamaki we’re dicks to steal it from me and read it, but we didn’t know it was from you until Shittykawa busted in and ranted about your handwriting.”
“Tooru...!”
You’re a broken record now, actively cursing your brother for his transgressions.
Hajime plucks the letter hiding your face to get a good look at you.
You’re mind practically soft resets at the cool expression and his dark green eyes.
“I’m sorry. This probably could’ve been avoided if I had just confessed to you first.”
He mutters softly, red starting to creep on his features.
“No, it’s not your fau— wait what?”
You must be hallucinating. That, or you’re unconscious and the part of your brain that handles dream production is being a huge asshole right now.
Hajime sighs, nervously running his hand through his hair again,
“I should’ve just told you I liked you sooner. Honestly, I’m kind of embarrassed you had more guts to do it first.”
“You like me?!”
You step closer, peering up at his face to find any tells for a lie or signs of a really convincing Iwaizumi Hajime imposter.
“It’s what I said, isn’t it?! Don’t make me repeat myself a third time.”
He presses his palms to your shoulders to take a step back, the proximity of your blushing and eager face is making him short circuit.
The fabric of your uniform sadly prevents any contact with skin, but you still feel yourself heating up at the touch of his hands resting on your shoulders.
“I... really?!”
“I think I’ve liked you for a long time, but I only realized it this year.”
It’s cute you can tell how hard he’s trying to maintain eye contact and keep a straight face.
You break out into a grin, wrapping your arms around his neck.
“Hajime! You even said you didn’t want to say it a third time, but you did anyways!”
You hold him tight and he stutters a ‘Shut up!’ at you, the normal bite behind the retort is completely lost.
You pull back a bit to catch his eyes, and his lips turn down in that usual scowl. You laugh softly, the expression is severely displaced in juxtaposition to his now brightly colored cheeks.
You stand at the edge of your toes and pull him close, lips catching his. The sound of his shock from the abrupt, bold action is muffled.
Hajime quickly leans into it, his wide eyes slip shut as he moves his hands to caress your neck.
Your lips part from his so you can peak through your lashes to see the expression on his face. You’re only briefly able to admire Hajime’s handsome features and rosy colored cheeks, before he chases the kiss to reconnect your lips.
It’s more than you ever imagined, and you’ve definitely imagined what it would be like to kiss Hajime multiple times.
His hands are steady, thumb delicately brushing your jawline, he’s leaned close to match your height, and he kisses so intensely, showing a rare sweetness that Hajime can only reserve for someone he trusts.
Before it can escalate any further while you’re both on the Oikawa doorstep with the Iwaizumi household next door, you separate with a content smile.
You’re eyes are practically glittering, arms still rested around his shoulders. His impassioned gaze stares intently at your every feature,
“You’re so perfect, how did I get so lucky?”
And you’re almost drawn into another kiss but—
“Are you two gonna block the doorway all day? We have school you know.”
Tooru decides to make his entrance then, and he would’ve wacked you with the door if Hajime hadn’t been quick to pull you closer.
“What are you gonna do? Beat me up?”
He gives a knowing look to Tooru, a shitty grin crossing Hajime’s features.
“...if it were any other guy, I probably would. But I’m glad she chose you.”
Tooru steps around the two of you with a soft smile, leading the way to school.
Hajime stutters, and let’s out a huff at Tooru’s unusual display of sincerity.
“That brat is trying to act like the better man. He sure changed his mind overnight...”
Hajime stalls for a moment, before deciding to slip his arm from around you and his hand into yours, threading your fingers together.
“Tooru will be Tooru.”
You shrug, enjoying the feeling of his larger hand laced with yours.
“You mean Oikawas will be Oikawas. You’re both brats with bad personalities.”
He snorts, walking forward and gently pulling you along.
“What’s that supposed to mean?!”
You retort, and Tooru, embarrassingly enough, happened to say the same thing in perfect unison.
Hajime laughs loudly at that, and despite the tease you find yourself laughing with him.
Leaning into his shoulder, the constant smile is starting to make your cheeks sore, but you find yourself looking forward to feeling it more often now that you’re with Hajime.
Tumblr media
Bonus:
Hanamaki and Matsukawa stand before you the second you enter the gymnasium.
“Wha—?”
“Oikawa-chan. We’re very sorry we read your letter,”
Hanamaki starts and Matsukawa continues,
“It was wrong of us to do, and we feel really guilty about it,”
They simultaneously produce letters from their pockets,
“Please accept our apology.”
They say in unison, and you can’t help but let a laugh burst from your lips. You’re bent over and clutching your stomach, nearly in stitches when you see their deadly serious expressions.
“Did you guys practice this?!”
You snort, this must be what Tooru meant when he said these two tall bastards had a surprise for you.
You accept the letters nonetheless.
“I’m guessing this is Tooru’s doing.”
You carefully open the letters, pulling Matsukawa’s first.
“Who else would it be?”
He grunts out.
“I see you two did your homework!”
Tooru calls from the door, entering the gym alongside Hajime.
“They really did it, huh.”
Hajime slings his arm around your shoulder, and you feel warm at the comfortable gesture.
“We’re men of our word, of course we did.”
Matsukawa shifts on his other foot, resting his hand on his hip.
“Right, of course. You don’t mind if I read this out loud then, do you Mattsun?”
You’re eyes glint with mischief and Tooru cheers excitedly, Hajime muffles a laugh beside you.
“Actually, I do mind—“
“That’s weird I’m already reading it out loud DEAR OIKAWA-CHAN,”
Matsukawa rolls his eyes, the irony cuts deep here.
“What is this, a love letter?”
Tooru jabs and Hajime immediately sends Matsukawa a sour look,
“She’s taken.”
You almost stutter reading aloud the apology when Hajime’s grip tightens around you.
“So this is karma.”
Matsukawa mutters with a light blush of embarrassment, feeling thankful he kept his letter concise so he didn’t have to sit through much more of that.
“Ahh, you don’t have to read mine right now. Practice is starting soon. Look, Kunimi and Kindaichi are ready to start!”
Hanamaki thinks he’s being sneaky, dragging his underclassmen into the matter, but he honestly just made this so much worse for himself.
“I’ll wait.”
Kunimi gives a bored expression, face tucked into his track jacket lapels. Kindaichi just stutters his agreement beside him.
Hanamaki sends him a look that probably translates to something like ‘you little bastard I’m gonna make you work so hard this practice’.
“Well go on dear sister, I wanna see what Makki came up with.”
Tooru wraps an arm around Hanamaki, who’s feeling very tempted to throw Tooru off of him for making him and Matsukawa go through this mockery.
“I’m invested now.”
Hajime voice sounds close to your ear as he leans close, you glance up and smile softly to see him peer over your shoulder at the letter.
“It’s genius, really. I put my heart and soul into it.”
Hanamaki tries to brush it off, but you bark out a laugh immediately after.
“Hey, don’t laugh at my heartfelt apology!”
Hanamaki complains, but you can’t stop the laughter erupting from you.
“Yeah, don’t laugh at his heartfelt apology.”
Matsukawa aids, already having been on the receiving end of the jests.
“I’m sorry Makki but... you forgot to sign it!”
You point at the letter, and Hanamaki stutters as he reaches to give it a once over. Matsukawa just rubs his forehead at the irony doubling.
“Tsk, Makki, Makki, rookie mistake.”
Tooru pats his back comfortingly, but it feels more like he’s mocking him than anything. Which he definitely is.
“How could I have known it was from you?”
You stick your tongue out at him teasingly.
“You didn’t sign yours, you know.”
Hajime pokes your cheek and you flush. The absolute betrayal, from your new boyfriend no less.
“Hajimeeee, I know! But we’re supposed to be making fun of them, not me! I was humiliated enough last night! They need to feel it too!”
You point accusingly at the two in question, and they raise a brow at your display of contempt.
“Not everything has to be turned into some revenge plot, Oikawa twins.”
Hajime pinches your cheeks and glares at Tooru for good measure.
“He’s right, you know.”
Matsukawa points out, feeling especially inclined to agree considering him and Hanamaki were at the butt end of the counter humiliation scheme.
“The audacity—“
Tooru starts, and you chime in,
“The nerve, my own boyfriend!”
“My best friend!”
“You should be encouraging me.”
“You should be encouraging her, but also me—“
“Enough already, you brats!”
Hajime smacks Tooru in the gut, before gently tapping you on the head with his knuckles.
“Iwa-chan, that’s blatant favoritism!”
Tooru coughs out, clutching his side.
“Get used to it.”
He grunts out, and despite being reprimanded by Hajime, you gently touch the spot on your head he tapped with a soft smile.
You preen at the soft way he scolds you. The warmth of his arm wrapped around you, his gentle looks of content to you when he thinks no one is looking, it sends the butterflies in your stomach crazy.
It’s all for you, and it’s hard to believe that Hajime is finally your boyfriend now—
“THIRD YEARS, STOP LOITERING AND GET PRACTICING!”

if ur still taking prompts, can i have 50 from general (“I didn’t know where else to go.”) with blupjeans? 👉👈 -ise
[TW: injury]
There’s a knock; three heavy pounds, then silence. Barry opens the door and a woman falls forward, like she had been leaning on it. She only straightens when Barry helps her up, and then he sees why.
She has an arm wrapped around her middle, and bruises littering the skin visible to him. Even when wearing a red robe, the bloodstains are visible and pronounced.
Barry looks up, at the woman’s face. It’s also bruised, and under the mask, one eye is blackened.
“I didn’t know where else to go,” Phoenix Fire says, and she falls forward again, unconscious.
And Barry? He’s seen a lot of things. For someone who seems exceedingly average, he has a strange life, including being the one of the people whose life has been saved by local flamethrowing superhero Phoenix Fire.
She is… resplendent, simply put. Barry considers himself lucky that he is friends with her, or as friendly as one can get with a superhero. See, Barry has information and she acts on it. No one knows of his existence or his role in her work, but she considers them a duo. They’re coworkers, in a sense. It’s incredible to know that he’s making such an impact in his city, and it’s even more so to know that he gets to do it with such an amazing woman.
…An amazing woman that is unconscious on his couch. Barry doesn’t even know what to do, but his body acts on survival instinct, rushing to grab first aid supplies and start taking care of her.
There isn’t a lot of blood, and it’s all from random places on her body that line up with rips in the fabric of her costume. He guesses whoever she was fighting had a knife as well as a mean right hook. The thing on her side seems to be a broken rib, and it takes priority.
One wikihow article later, she’s laid on her back in a slightly upright position, which cushions under her back and knees. Barry has an ice back held over her chest with one hand, while his other tries to place a bandage on one of the cuts as neatly as possible. Maybe it’s because she’s here and she’s hurt, but Barry finds himself messing up more than he normally would.
He stops, uses her limp hand to hold the pack in place, and gets to work on the cuts with two free hands. He has to rip the fabric more to get enough room to work, and he feels a pang of guilt until he remembers that clothes are easier to fix than stab wounds. There are really only a handful of them, but the fact that the number is higher than zero makes him really, really upset.
He’s not dumb, he knows he has a crush on her. It’s the size of this city, but he doesn’t act on it. She’s adored, and rightfully so! She probably gets love declarations every other day, and she just doesn’t need her partner to add to that.
What he needs to do is help her. And he does that, carefully cleaning the cuts and applying bandages as he goes. After about twenty minutes, he removes the ice pack, and when the coolness leaves her she shifts, groans, and stills.
“Phoenix?” he asks.
She grunts, and her eyes— …eye is screwed shut. But her voice is forcibly light as she says, “Hey, babe.”
That too. Babe. How does she get away with calling him that? Moreso: how does he survive? “…Hi.”
She tries to move again, but Barry places a gentle hand on her shoulder to still her. “Take it easy. You shouldn’t be, y’know, getting up and moving around in this condition.”
She reluctantly relaxes, brow creased. Taking shallow breaths, she gingerly traces a finger over where her broken rib is. Immediately she flinches and winces, and Barry takes her hand and moves it away from her torso.
“Thanks for fixin’ me up, Barry,” she says, not letting go of his hand. She gives him a small smile.
He smiles back. “Of course.”
It lingers for a moment, with Phoenix just looking into his eyes and holding his hand, before she eventually lets go. Her hands fold on top of her chest, and she lets him get back to work.
FUCK. “Um. How did you end up… like this?” he asks, going back to his bandage application.
Her eyes stay closed. “Fightin’ bad guys, babe. It’s what I do.”
“I could tell that much,” Barry says, “Was it anyone in particular?”
“Nah. Some guys trying to mug this poor boy. I got him away but the guys ganged up on me,” Phoenix says, “They were just dudes, not like, a supervillain, so I didn’t use my powers on ‘em. I just sorta… beat them up. Knocked them unconscious and called my brother to come deal with them. I still don’t trust cops with things like that.”
Barry hums, nodding. Phoenix’s brother is almost like a celebrity, he’s someone that Barry always hears about but has never seen in person. How he “deals” with cases like this is still a mystery to him. Somehow he always makes sure they’re safe but properly dealt with.
“Mmm… you got a remedy for this?” Phoenix asks, and Barry looks over to see her pointing at her black eye.
“Oh, yeah, hold on.” Barry grabs the ice pack again. It’s not too cold, but it’ll do for now. He passes it to her and she carefully places it over her eye.
He goes back to silently cleaning and bandaging. Once he’s done, he sits back on his heels and starts cleaning up the floor around the couch, littered with first aid supplies. “I think I’ve done all I can. I mean, you should probably go to a hospital or something but, you know, you’ll make it through the rest of today.”
“Thanks,” Phoenix says, “I think I’ll be fine, thanks to you.”
Her uninjured eye is closed, so she doesn’t see Barry’s blush. “Glad I could help.”
She smiles. “You always do.”
And Barry doesn’t really know what to say to that. Phoenix says, “Wanna know a secret?”
A secret? “Sure?”
“My name begins with L,” Phoenix says, opening her eye to grin at Barry.
That’s… “Are you sure you wanna be, um, telling me that?”
She nods. “You can call me that, if you want.”
“Elle?” he asks, and she nods again. “Okay… Elle.”
She smiles, cheerful, and Barry feels the sappy feelings tailor made for her bloom in his chest. Her smile falls eventually, and it’s replaced with a tiredness Barry is sure he’s never even experienced, and he’s pulled too many all-nighters to count.
“I don’t think I’m concussed, so I think I can sleep, right?” Elle asks. Her eye slips closed anyways.
“I think so,” he says, “But do you wanna sleep here? Or go home?”
“I’ll stay here. I trust you.”
She trusts him? “Okay,” he says simply.
“I’ll need a new ice pack once I wake up though,” she says, “This ain’t my first rodeo.”
Barry chuckles. “I know.”
She smiles, one last time, then she lets the exhaustion of her day pull her into sleep. And call him creepy, or weird, but Barry watches her sleep. He watches the rise and fall of her chest, and it reminds him that she’s real, that he’s real, and that life goes on, no matter what.
