[beautifulpersonpeach]

bpp sorry if this isn't the content you want on your blog after yesterday but is it ok if i ask for clarification on sth? i know youre army you don't like solos but i like reading solos for a wide span of info. i don't like to be in a bubble of echo chambers

i saw a post and i'll send the link right after this ask but the person was criticizing a post you made but it confused me bc what you wrote didnt match what they said. they didn't post your name but i know its you because you always start your answers with 3 dots

***

many armys say they like jimin but they pretend. i don't think youre like that but your answer is confusing so can you clarify? its like you allow jjks to shit on jimin but you drag out pjms only. armys do this over and over. its sad if youre the same bc i like your blog.

***

Please block me.

Actually, you know what? Don't. At least not just yet. Let's do this instead.

I checked the link you sent. I'd received that link a couple other times today accompanied with more hostile language, so I ignored it. But I checked out yours because I wondered what was so serious you couldn't add the link to your main ask, so if you're all in fact the same person sending that link, kudos for getting my attention.

And thank you for sending that to me, because now I'd like to use you and that post to make an example of what I'm talking about when I say solo stans think differently and are just less intelligent. In my opinion.

For other readers, I'm not going to link it directly so as to not draw more attention to them, and since they're stalking my blog to make an example without directly mentioning me or showing my blog name, I think it's only fair I react in kind by also not making a direct mention.

Here’s the post (mine) in question:

*

Here is the akgae's takeaway from the post above (mine):

**

Already, the dissonance between the first and second screenshot should be obvious. I’ll explain in any case just so everyone can follow along.

Shortly after Jimin released Closer Than This, I received an ask from someone who calls themselves a PJM (a Jimin akgae), who said they hate the song and also hate his voice. But that they are his solo stan because he’s “talented and hot”.

I responded that they, the Jimin solo stan who hates his ARMY song and voice, isn’t exactly a rare breed. And that Jimin has ARMY supporting him anyway. This is within the context of me always saying solo stans don’t actually like the person they choose to solo stan (if they did, they wouldn’t be akgaes), and that an akgae’s experience is more about them and their personal insecurities than anything Jimin (or any other BTS member) is actually doing.

Months later (present day), another Jimin solo stan quotes that ask and my response, as proof of me (1) going “sameee you’re so valid”, (2) not correctly identifying that person as someone who actually antis Jimin a.k.a. his akgae, and (3) as proof of me believing “one is more talented and more deserving than the other” re: Jungkook vs Jimin.

…is there even anything more for me to say?

Y'all, I bet you something like 90% of the shit that has solos constantly bouncing off the walls starts from things like this: a complete lack of reading comprehension coupled with gaps in logic and pre-conceived notions/insecurities. If I wanted to be really mean, there's so many places I could take this post right now, but I'll stop here for now.

That post made me laugh because the entire thing is a comedy of errors. The OP Anon in that akgae's post, is actually talking about another 'blogger' (who I know and generally like but that's besides the point), but the akgae responding to them mistook OP Anon's 'blogger' to be me, and then proceeded to write what's in the second screenshot...

It's just sad.

I've lost count of how many times I've been the subject of callout posts on Tumblr and each time it's been something like this lmaooo. Each time it's been by akgaes (and their exile varieties) and shippers. The last time this happened, I was a taekooker, and now someone has essentially embarrassed themselves with a lamentable lack of reading comprehension to spin a pretty innocuous post into... alladat.

This is how drama is manufactured in fan spaces out of plain stupidity.

*

There are many reasons I don't like akgaes, but one top reason is because they dumb down the quality of conversation in whatever space they're in. It's part of why I have such a disdain for 'discourse' in k-pop spaces in general, because oftentimes, the people most eager to write paragraphs on end while being hateful and/or victimizing, are people who don't know what they're talking about or lack basic skills in reading comprehension, among other things. ARMYs and k-pop stans are guilty of this too, but you're more likely to run into culprits in akgae 'discourse' spaces or adjacent ones.

I've given examples of this many times but here's a couple here, and here.

I'm not even trying to be condescending, I don't actually think I know all there is to know about Jimin, BTS, and k-pop, I just no longer have the patience for people who choose remain in spaces filled with akgaes and who keep bringing their nonsense into my inbox. And what's worse asking me to clarify sentences that a grade 5 student should be able to parse in any language.

Anyway Anon, now, you can block me.

[goldenimpact]

A compilation of all the Xiaoaether AUs I have right now! (plus the original pair, but I guess shipping them in of itself is like an AU?)

(under the cut: about the AUs!)

Roleswap

Aether and Xiao switch roles, so it’s Adeptus Aether and Traveler Xiao! Other characters have also switched roles, though this might be a matter of your own preference on who is who!

Xiao: An otherworldly traveler on a mission to subdue the darkness that builds up in various worlds. He arrives to fight just as suddenly as he departs, leaving no one his name or his purpose for being there. Since landing in Teyvat, he’s found himself getting attached to a certain stubborn yaksha... 

But that’s only because they’re usually in the same place anyways because their job descriptions are pretty similar and as soon as he takes his eyes off of Aether, that guy is running off to help some random person with their groceries or something so he has to watch over him—

(Secretly, he likes the company. Aether is a literal ball of sunshine and Xiao is very, very fond of him. Enough to want to whisk him away with him once he has to leave this world, but he can’t just do that, Aether’s bound to the world, to his homeland, but... but...)

Aether: The last yaksha, born from the light of a fallen star. As a being practically made of light, his duty is to purify the karma left festering from old gods in the lands of Liyue. As the centuries go on, the evils of the past slowly start to fade, so recently he’s been worried about what will happen to him once his job is finished. After all, he cannot be “light” if there is no “darkness”... But disappearing would mean he’s done what he was meant to do, right? Isn’t that a happy thing?

As of late, he’s found himself charmed by a passing traveler. The guy just exudes darkness, so Aether wants to stick around to help him out! But then he falls in love with him. Luckily, it seems like Aether’s contract with the Geo Archon ended just now, so there’s no problem if he follows the guy around Teyvat, right? And wherever beyond! Once his end comes, and he meets his sister up in the stars, he’ll be sure to bring her a ton of stories of him and his grumpy traveler!

Mermaid (Version A)

Merman Aether and Researcher Xiao, where Aether lives in an exhibit in an aquarium in Liyue that Xiao works at. Xiao’s coworkers include Zhongli, his boss, and Ganyu, his junior. A very, very peaceful and happy world setting!

Aether: An innocent, if sheltered merman who fell in love with a human and let said human take him onto land. While he can understand human language, he’s still learning how to speak it. Otherwise, he does chirping noises, trills, purring, etc. “Xiao” is his first and favorite word! He’s very affectionate and loves hugs, though kisses are reserved for his human! Despite the language barrier, he gets along splendidly with anyone he meets.

His latest worry is trying to perfect his human form and the human language. Although, Xiao did say it was fine if he never learned how to hide all his fins and gills, but!!! Aether wants to go outside with Xiao! And also see Xiao’s home! And talk with Xiao a whole lot!

Xiao: The human who stole Aether away from the ocean, because he wanted to study him. (That’s a lie, he just wanted to take Aether home but he didn’t have a suitable place for Aether in his house, so he took him to his workplace instead...) He was the one who taught Aether how to kiss and definitely cried when Aether first said his name. Used to be known as a rather cold person, but ever since Aether came, people have realized he’s just a hot mess that’s really into that merman he brought back. The amount of PDA is ridiculous.

He does want to get along with Aether’s sister, although right now they’re in a standoff... Ah, but his biggest worry right now is that Aether is getting exponentially cuter with every day. 

Phantom of the Opera

Featuring literal shadow creature Phantom Xiao and his angelic muse, Aether. Who is trying to take Aether away from the opera house? Lumine, probably, but your favorite love triangle rival can fill this role too!

Aether: A boy who loves watching opera performances and wanted to work with them up close as backstage staff. As the newbie, he got saddled with nighttime cleaning duty, a time when the legendary Phantom is said to roam. Despite that, Aether spends his nights re-enacting that day’s performance all by himself on the stage for fun, initially unaware of his single audience member…

He befriends the local shadow creature (Xiao) very easily and likes singing for him. Xiao starts bringing him outfits, so he puts them on and spins around for his friend happily, and this goes on for a while and before Aether knows it, he’s the star of the opera house? Well… performing is fun, and Xiao seems really happy these days, so it’s fine!

Xiao: Initially, he was a being made entirely of darkness. He spent his time skulking around the opera house as its shadows for years, since he likes music, in exchange for protecting the town. His favorite performer is that blonde boy who twirls around and laughs cutely all by himself on that big stage at night. Enjoying the sight, yet also yearning to give the boy company, Xiao attempts to make himself a human shape so he can talk to Aether. It ends up failing, as his human shape is still unstable and he exposes his true form to Aether, but Aether accepts him regardless. 

Thinking of the fancy garments other performers wear at the opera house, Xiao digs up some old clothes and helps Aether touch them up, all just to watch Aether twinkle under the lights… If Xiao defends Aether from the other workers who think him a thief or for aiming for the stage despite being backstage staff, ultimately ending up with Aether as the opera house’s star, well… Aether really deserves the spot. The opera house was originally built as an offering to Xiao anyways, so what’s wrong with doing as he likes?

Evil Spirits

First childhood sweethearts, then fellow evil spirits, this story features Cursed Doll Spirit Aether and Evil Spirit Xiao! They are, without a doubt, villains. That doesn’t stop them from being affectionate with each other, though!

Aether: Xiao’s childhood friend who moved away when they were still young. They made a promise to be together, something both parties still hold onto, even in death. Aether, due to terrible cult reasons or gruesome experimentation or both!, dies young and is made into a doll. His lingering regrets and intense emotions at the time of his death allow his consciousness to remain in the doll, though he needs to feed off human fear/lives to survive. Eventually picked up by Xiao, the two of them make for a rather frightening pair. Although it saddens Aether to watch Xiao become more and more unhinged, he’s happy that they’re together now.

Aether can’t stand up for long on his own, as he’s not built for that, so he either needs to have some sort of support or just has to be carried around. It frustrates him greatly, but Xiao seems pretty content to carry him… While Aether can speak, his mouth doesn’t move at all, since it’s just painted on, so he has a permanent smile, even when upset. His abilities involve drawing people and spirits alike to him, as well as assisting those who passed in rather… violent ways to become evil spirits.

Xiao: Aether’s childhood friend who searched for him when Aether disappeared. Eventually discovering Aether as a doll, as well as everything that led up to this, Xiao vows to eradicate every single person involved. He gets through a decent portion up until adulthood, carrying Aether along with him all the while, but is eventually killed in action. Aether uses his own powers to bring Xiao back as a spirit, allowing Xiao to continue his quest to slaughter. As Aether creates more and more evil spirits, Xiao begins to turn his attention to exorcists and the like who come to vanquish them… They promised to be together, after all. It doesn’t matter if it is as humans or ghosts. He won’t let anyone separate them again.

Rather than having abilities, Xiao is just really good at murder. Add on his now supernatural disposition, he’s only gotten stronger since his death. He’s single-minded in how he dotes on Aether, almost like he’s trying to make up for all the potential years Aether lost to physically grow up. The two of them are wandering spirits, leaving a trail of evil ghosts everywhere they go.

Mermaid (Version X)

Merman Xiao and Researcher Aether, where Xiao resides in a research facility in Mondstadt that Aether recently started working at. Aether’s coworkers include Albedo, who recommended him for the job in the first place, and Sucrose, who studies under Albedo.

Aether: He got the job through his friend Albedo, because Aether can “get along with anyone and anything” and “is disarmingly charming, in a good way”, apparently. The purpose of Aether’s supposed charms was to attempt to communicate and get along with the facility’s resident merman, who is notorious for being unsociable. And difficult. And kind of moody. But he’s also ridiculously pretty, Aether notices… in a scientific way, of course! 

Courtesy of Aether’s (blatant crush) job description of looking after Xiao, eventually the two become close! Very close. A little too close. Since Xiao is set on Aether being his mate, he doesn’t like it when Aether is gone for very long. So more often than not, Aether stays overnight at the facility… It’s gotten to the point that Lumine has been asking him when he’ll introduce his boyfriend to her, but Xiao is, uh, a bit difficult to introduce… in a lot of ways…

Xiao: A merman who has been around a lot longer than he seems. He used to live in the deep, dark depths of the sea, but for some reason has allowed humans to conduct their research on him. Irritable yet reasonable, Xiao understands human language, though he doesn’t bother speaking it. Growls and the sound of his teeth and fins are good enough indicators of his mood. He finds all the employees suspicious, especially the new one with really, really bright eyes. (Did they send this one in specifically to enchant him..? Because he really can’t take his gaze off this one…)

After being subject to Aether’s (blatant crush) insistent nature for a couple weeks, Xiao eventually and abruptly deems Aether his mate. With that sudden declaration out of the way, he’s in his best mood when Aether is doting on him (or vice versa!) and no one else is around. Given his current environment, he’s a bit lost on how to properly prove himself a good mate to Aether, so he settles for being rather… clingy. And protective. Albedo has nearly lost his hands to Xiao’s teeth many times now.

Personality Swap

Not a complete personality swap, more of a “the general feel of the character” swap, but that’s not a very catchy AU title, you know? Using the Red Xiao design for a cheerier Xiao and a Lumine-based design for a colder Aether, this AU is otherwise close to canon!

Aether: An otherworldly traveler looking for his twin older sister. Not very expressive and doesn’t like speaking if it isn’t necessary, he’s a rather spacey-looking boy. Even still, he enjoys helping people, though he wanders off as soon as the job’s done, mind already drifting elsewhere. The adeptus that found him is kind of noisy, he thinks, but it’s a nice kind of noise.

Xiao is in the habit of giving Aether gifts and affection, both verbal and physical, which has led Aether to being faintly aware that perhaps, he’s being courted..? Unsure of how to return Xiao’s pursuits, Aether usually mimics the things Xiao does to him, like holding hands or gifting items. Aether always wears the flowers Xiao gifts him. And since he’s gotten so used to Xiao touching him in some way at all times, when Xiao isn’t, he starts to get fidgety…

Xiao: One of the yaksha tasked to protect Liyue, who first discovered the traveler in Liyue and proceeded to accompany him all over Teyvat. Cheery and sociable, and also Aether’s sole travel companion, Xiao does all the talking for their party of two. He worried about that traveler to the point of following him around everywhere and falling head over heels, so his fellow yakshas and adepti practically kicked him out of Liyue to go ask Aether out.

Now out of a job and hopelessly in love, Xiao is helping Aether through Teyvat while trying to court him at the same time. He’s honestly not sure if his approach is working, but Aether has started speaking to him in a quiet voice lately, with soft, breathy laughs and tiny smiles that make Xiao’s heart explode into a million bits, so..!!! Even if they don’t end up together romantically, being someone Aether trusts to laugh with is already—!! (Insert Xiao’s mental keysmash here)

Casino

A successful and busy casino with a long history, run by the characters of Liyue and the traveler twins! This AU has Waiter (Waitress??) Aether in a bunny-girl outfit and Dealer Xiao, who also doubles as a bouncer. Lumine has also appeared as a waitress!

Aether: One of the wait staff working at the casino, alongside his twin sister. He’s the only wait staff wearing a skirt, since according to his sister, “no one will survive” if he doesn’t. Additionally, Aether’s the most popular of the bunny wait staff, for his good looks and charming demeanor. It’s a title he works hard to uphold, even if he’s not entirely sure how it happened.

When he first started working at the casino, he was under Xiao’s tutoring, so he has experience being a dealer/bouncer. Him primarily becoming part of the wait staff was because the casino had no lack of mischievous tricksters and stone-faced bouncers among their dealers… Having someone as cute as Aether serving you drinks is guaranteed to lift your spirits!

Xiao: A dealer/bouncer who has been working at the casino for a long time. Initially only a bouncer, becoming a dealer alongside that was a more recent endeavor, as it was suggested to him by his superior, Zhongli. He now misuses his work experience to simultaneously deal cards while also keeping an eye on Aether… or more accurately, anyone trying to get handsy with Aether. The incidents where Xiao did have to intervene are a well-known story, so all who have been in the casino for a couple hours know better than to try anything…

He’s one of the aforementioned “stone-faced bouncers” within the dealers and will undoubtedly catch you if you try to cheat. When Aether comes by to deliver drinks or the like, Xiao noticeably softens… On the other hand, on those rare days where Aether is working as a dealer and Xiao is a waiter, Xiao will slam drinks on the table as a warning. Don’t try anything with Aether. Aether always laughs when it happens.

Horror

With horror game series like Fatal Frame and Clocktower and all the like of that aesthetic as reference, this is essentially a horror-game-esque AU! Since the other horror-like AU had them as antagonists, this is the one where they’re the protagonists! And there’s nothing more terrifying than being children in a supernaturally horrific bad spot.

Aether: While playing hide-and-seek with his sister in their grandparents’ house, he ends up stumbling on a strange mirror in an old room. Predictably enough, he’s dragged into the world of the mirror, the realm of the dead, and has to find his way out. When he finds out his sister is somewhere in here too, he changes his goal to escaping along with her, once he finds her!

As most old horror game heroines are, Aether is all puzzle-solving and endless kindness, if frequently panicked. He relies on Xiao for a more aggressive approach to situations, though he does his best to negotiate where he can. The two of them get along so well you would think they’ve known each other all their lives.. Maybe even multiple lives!

Xiao: A boy that Aether encounters while trapped in the mirror, who promises to get Aether out. He’s rather tight-lipped about himself, whether it’s about why he’s here or his reasons for helping. Aether’s trust in him despite this mystifies him (and also makes him a bit happy), even if it is a bad idea in general. While he’s fine with assisting Aether, he doesn’t seem too enthused at the idea of finding Aether’s sister… In fact, he seems hostile?

As Aether’s partner, he makes up for what Aether lacks, so he’s all the combative force between the two. Additionally, he’s strangely quick and is able to play as a distraction while Aether solves puzzles. However, he’s vastly less merciful than Aether, which means his immediate response is usually to finish off an enemy. This leads to the two sometimes arguing on what to do (Aether wins a majority of the time).

Mutual Sickness

Read the blog description for the disclaimer! It’s the local specialty: a weirdly wholesome(?) yandere AU. A modern setting where Aether and Xiao are mutually pining in a very strange way, yet still aren’t going out. Not for a lack of wanting to, of course! More of a misunderstanding sort of romantic comedy, with a yandere twist.

Aether: Not the murderous sort, as he prefers collecting Xiao’s discarded or forgotten items, or taking photos throughout the day. He’s working hard to be Xiao’s ideal type in every way (which is just Aether), including making almond tofu exactly the way Xiao likes it (unaware that it’s Xiao’s favorite simply because Aether made it especially for him). Aether deals with his rivals by indirectly proving himself the best match for Xiao (and sometimes directly, by showing off how he’s basically the only person who can get away with all the stuff he bothers Xiao for).

One day, Aether follows Xiao on his way home and witnesses him absolutely pummeling some guy that Aether vaguely recalls had confessed to him earlier that day (Aether turned him down immediately, so he forgot about it). Not an unusual thing to see for Aether, since he stalks Xiao, but this time he gets caught watching. Before he knows it, he’s trapped against the wall and Xiao’s giving him the most threatening confession Aether’s ever heard and wow… How could he say anything other than yes?

Xiao: Unfortunately, he doesn’t have a lot of time to follow Aether around everywhere (a decent portion of the day, but not every minute, which he would prefer...), but with Aether being so popular, he gets the information he needs without even stalking him (which is great, yet it also pisses him off to have to hear it secondhand). Although he still takes pictures when he can, often enough, Aether’s included in pictures his friends post on social media, so he saves those too… and edits everyone else out. Xiao deals with rivals violently, if verbal threats aren't enough to scare them off. People thought the two were dating even before they actually were, since neither of them denied rumors. Xiao’s felt like they were an item anyways, since Aether doesn’t smile like that for anyone else… (And well.. he was right.)

After hearing about the latest confession Aether received (and feeling a vicious satisfaction that Aether, again, turned the guy down), Xiao commences his usual routine of teaching a lesson to idiots who can’t take a hint (read: various verbal-bordering-physical warnings to back off) and try their luck at confessing. Once he finishes up and turns to leave, he locks eyes with Aether, and panics. Thinking it’s do-or-die, he pushes Aether against a wall and spills everything to him (his feelings, his sins, his desires and dark, dark thoughts, etc). If he ended up getting arrested, at least it would be Aether’s decision… And yet, to his surprise (and utterly baffled delight), Aether grins and wraps his arms around him, and oh, it was mutual all this time… Of course it was, why was he even worried?

Royalty

Probably the most nonsensical of the AU bundle, this is an AU featuring a Royal Aether, who is usually in pretty dresses and his loyal, if foul-mouthed, Guard Xiao. Story and world-building is still pending, but the askbox is always open for suggestions! Even if it’s just scenarios you want to see with this pair!

Aether: Formally referred to as “Princess”, which is his work title, and has nothing to do with him being male. Unlike his sister, who has the title and duties of “Prince” so she is frequently away on journeys, Aether’s duties have him remain in the kingdom to watch over it. He’s also a very popular marriage candidate, with many after his hand, but for some reason seems rather uninterested? Maybe his heart is already set on someone…

As all royalty are trained in combat, Aether is no different, though there isn’t much chance to use it when Xiao’s there. Xiao serves as his bodyguard, attendant, and confidant, so they’re together nearly 24/7. Aether worries that Xiao is working too much and has, on multiple occasions, tried to convince Xiao to let other servants help out, only to be shot down every time. It’s an ongoing discussion… that has been going on for years.

Xiao: Aether’s personal guard/attendant/closest confidant who has been by Aether’s side since childhood. Originally brought in to be the twins’ sparring partner, he became good friends with Aether and wanted to support him as they grew up. So, he intentionally chose a career path that would let him stay close to Aether. Because of that, he doesn’t ever think he’s overworking, but he does often complain that taking care of Aether on his own is a load of work (a load he’ll gladly carry for the rest of his life, he muses to himself, when he combs his fingers through Aether’s hair and watches him yawn in the mirror. Cute.)

Xiao finds everyone aiming for Aether’s hand to be.. unworthy. Yet, if you inquired just what sort of person would be worthy, Xiao would open his mouth, pause, then shut it closed. Truthfully, it would just have to be someone Aether loves, who loves Aether in return, and that’s it, but… Xiao is aware that he also technically fits that criteria. They’re already close enough as it is, but to be able to hold Aether, to kiss him, to… It’s not like there’s any restrictions stopping him, he just needs a little push. (Here, we insert the story drama when we make it! Maybe it’ll be a soap opera, maybe it’ll be a fighting tournament, who knows!)

Beauty and the Beast

More based on the wiki page for the original story than the Disney version, it’s the story for Beauty and the Beast!  For this AU, it’s Aether the Beauty and Xiao the Beast. Other notable characters include Childe (referred to as Ajax here) and Lumine, also Zhongli is here somewhere…

Aether: The second eldest of his family, a group of orphans, who looks after the younger ones when Ajax, the eldest, is out for work. When Ajax asked everyone what kind of souvenirs they wanted him to bring back, Aether requested a flower unique to whatever country (Liyue, in this case) he was going to this time. Ajax, someone who always keeps his promises, is troubled initially since most flowers in Liyue can be found in other countries too. Then, he finds out about a flower that only grows on a certain mountain in Liyue, and attempts to get one. He succeeds, but only after making a deal to the beast living there to bring back the one who wanted the flower. (Read: Ajax picked a fight and lost. Ajax will remember this. Especially because he has to leave his little brother to this… thing.)

Aether, as promised, arrives at the beast’s home and here comes the slow burn (read: pining loudly in all forms except in a direct verbal manner to each other). Aether becomes Xiao’s companion (in a pure sense) and befriends him! Though after spending all this time away from home, Aether worries how his family is doing, and gets permission from Xiao to go for a visit if he promises to come back within the month. But once Aether returns, Ajax is hellbent on defeating Xiao (partially because he loves fighting, mostly because he’s aware he’s marrying Aether off to some beast in Liyue and that’s Not Okay With Big Brother Ajax) and Lumine is trying to convince Aether to not go back…

Xiao: The beast that lives in the very specific mountain where the very specific flowers bloom. He’s some sort of mythical creature that serves some sort of deity, but his bloody work had him thinking himself ugly of heart. Knowing that words wouldn’t convey otherwise, Zhongli, the aforementioned deity, made him as horrid in appearance as he felt he was in heart. “One day, should another come to love the you shaped by your own loathing,” Zhongli told Xiao, “You will learn to love yourself as well, and your form will change with your heart.” Leaving unique flowers to lure such a person, Zhongli left Xiao to mope.

Someone who wants these flowers will fulfill the requirements left by his deity. With that in mind, Xiao refused to let Ajax leave alive until he promised to bring that person. Soon after, Aether arrived at his home, and for the first time, he welcomed another into his heart. And when Aether went to visit his family, he kept thinking and thinking about what Aether was doing, when he would return, what they should do when he was back… Maybe, when Aether returned, Xiao could tell Aether how much he means to him. Aether would appreciate that, wouldn’t he?

The Scarlett Hero

Chapter 3: The USJ can suck my nonexistent dick

Masterlist

Disclamer: This was originally written for an OC but for tumblr I made it x reader

After being jammed packed in the bus and people being loud and excited for the USJ you just talked with Shoto. You would’ve gone on my phone but you accidently didnt plug it in so it's at 50% and  you’d rather save it. The whole hero vs. villain task really had you tired causing you to knock out when hitting the bed.

“Sho why don't you just talk to her, you make her sound so scary she's just a girl like me.” Recently Shoto has been ranting and raving about Kiyoko, you thought maybe he had a crush on her.

“Yeah but you're different Y/N, you're my best friend I haven't even talked to a girl like that ever. The only girl I talked to was you and my sister.” You  loved  Sho. You really did but it shouldn't be this hard.

“Do you want me to help you?” He took a double take.

“You're gonna embarrass me. Just tell me what to say when we get off and I will.” He's hopeless, But you still helped him out. When yall walked out of the bus he had pulled Kiyoko aside. Not 5 minute later you  saw her taking his phone typing her number out probably.  He turned around as normal as ever walking to me.

“I'm genuinely surprised you got her number.” He glared at you, making you chuckle.  

“You know I love you Sho come on before they throw a fit about us being slow.” You jogged catching up to our classmates.

“Lemme show you how easy it is.” Walking up to Bakugou tapping him on his shoulder, he turned around not startled but annoyed until he saw who it was.

“Oh hey, Kobayashi um whats up.” The tips of his ear were turning red. Did you make him nervous? Since you've met him you've been observing his interactions with his friends even though he claims to have none, his teachers and, with you.

“I was just wondering if i can have your number.” You held everything in you, so your face won’t turn pink. His ears looked like they were burning red. His friends around him looked shocked, has no one ever asked for his number before.

“Gimme your phone.” He stuck his hand out for you to hand him your phone. He took it, putting his number in. Shocking them even more, ‘why is this something to be shocked about’ you asked yourself.

“Thanks I'll call you.” You began to walk away.

“Oi aren't you gonna put yours in!?” You smirked, turning around your confidence returning. You pulled out your phone in front of him calling his number. He smirked, picking up.

“Hello.” He answered

“Did I,or did I not say that I would call you.”

“Well at least I got your number now idiot.” You hung up walking over to Shoto over hearing Bakugou's friends say something about finally getting someone who will match his shit.

“Was that your odd way of flirting”’ Shoto smirked after being the last to get into the USJ building.

After entering, Aizawa told yall how your training will go for the day .A few moments afterwards portals appeared opening to villains.  

“Is this part of the training?” Kaminari yelled

“Everyone get back!” Aziawa yelled, taking some steps back  until an eree voice called out.

“What no symbol of peace. I thought he would be here today. Huh maybe if we kill these kids he’ll show up.” He scoffed. We became worried until Bakugou and Kirishima jumped into the portal appearing in front of them. You almost screamed but you didn't want to show any weakness. Seconds later they appeared back in front of you. Bakugou looked up at you to show that he's okay.  He walked up to you taking you by the wrist.

“I wanna keep you in my sights.” Looking back at Shoto to see that he was next to Kiyoko, both trying to figure out what the hell was going on. You stopped Bakugou from walking getting a look at our surroundings, were in a standoff someone has to make a first move.

“Bakugou-.” He cut me off mid sentence.

“Katsuki you can call me Katsuki, but don't tell anyone I said it was okay” He whispered you didn't even know he could do that.

“Okay. Katsuki, what did you see when you went in the portal?” You wanted to know what kind of portals it was.

“It was like falling and dark.” You nodded. Those portals can keep you stuck forever if not open. Enji made us study different types of quirks including portals when y'all were 12.

“Shit.” All of a sudden you were all scattered throughout USJ. Looking up from the bushes you were portaled too. Katsuki was standing over you. How did you even miss him?

“OI get up we have to get the others. I think they're sending people after us.” He picked you up. Looking around you saw Kirishima standing away looking guard.

Different villains began to surround us.You were anticipating this, finally a real hero vs villain fight. After 20 minutes we stood there ready for more but no one came.Leaving the space cries were heard from other students watching Aizawa fight.

“I am here.” All Might yelled causing you to release a sigh of relief you didn't know you were holding. Shoto and Katsuki and Deku were fighting, helping out All Might. Noticing some students carrying Aizawa-sensei’s limp, bloody body up the stairs.

“Kiyoko-chan!” Ochaco said as she broke through the group to meet Yoko at the top of the stairs. Yoko seemed uneasy as she watched the fight below.

“Yoko!” You shouted with relief to see that she's okay. She noticed me and smiled before running to me and hugging me.

Y/N  Are you okay?” you nodded towards her.

After some of the villains were caught and others escaped you were all met back where it all started. Katsuki told you to go while him and Izuku fought along  All Might.

After finding Shoto with Yoko you gave him a hug even though you knew he could handle himself. It was still scary since it was real.  

“Are you okay?” I asked him

“Yeah that was easy. Are you? Gotta make sure my number 2 is alright.”

“Pff as if. I'm fine Kastuki and Kiri had my back over there. It was way too easy.” Some people looked around, shocked at the use of Katsukis first name. You looked over at him and gave him a smile while walking to the bus sitting in the same place you did with Shoto. Pulling out your phone shifting to the messages on it looking down the contact name blonde sent me a message.

‘Hi’ Looking back a couple rows to see him looking at me with a slight smile if you squinted. Looking back at your phone the conversation started to flow out of us after one simple.

‘Hi Katsuki’

It’s gonna be kinda long, the number of chapters you see in my materlist is not the number of chapter that will be written there will be more. (unless this is a finished story by the time you see this.) anyway enjoy loves....

Y/N POV 

"OMG Y/N you look amazing."

"Thanks Cheyenne."

Turning around to give yourself one last look in the mirror before Hoseok arrived. You decided to keep it simple yet looking as breathtaking as possible. You wore a simple black dress that came off your shoulders and stopped right at your knees. It hugged the curves of your body perfectly. And wearing a pair of black heels to match with the dress. The heels tied up around your ankle making your legs look even better than they have been before. Your hair was down and you had light curls to add a little definition to your hair. Your makeup was light and natural. A soft brown Smokey eye to contrast with your black dress and red lipstick. Just to add a pop of color like you always like to do. 

Just as you  were  walking back to your room to get your purse you heard a knock at the door then you heard your friend call your name. Taking a deep breath and adding one more spray of perfume for measure you walked out your room and into the living room. Looking up and stopping in your tracks as soon as your eyes land on Hoseok. 

He was wearing black dress pants that perfectly hugged his thighs and he was wearing a black button up shirt with the first two buttons undone. Then you met his eyes. He looked at you with both shock and lust in his eyes. Making you blush. Before it could get any more tense you decided to speak up first. 

"Shall we get going?"

"Y-yes we should we don't want to be late."

Reaching out to take your hand you gave him a small smile before putting your hand into his and walking out the door closing it behind you just as your friend shouts through the door 

"USE PROTECTION Y/N!!!"

Hoseok let out a small chuckle and you felt your face grow red. Hoseok led you to his car and opened the door for you waiting for you to step in before he closed the door and walked around to the other side and got in. As he sat in his seat and closed his door he placed a hand on your thigh. The warmth of his hand sends a chill throughout your body. He leaned in close to you and whispered lowly into your ear. 

"Don't worry sweetheart, we won't do anything you don't want to do."

All you could do was let out a small whimper as you felt the warmth of his breath hit your ear. Giving you a small smirk and sitting back into his seat he started the car and back out the driveway.

"Should probably start driving now, don't wanna miss the reservation."

The entire ride to the restaurant was quiet. But it was a comfortable quiet. The radio playing low music. Hoseok also kept his hand on your thigh the whole ride. Letting the warmth of his hand take over your thoughts as so many ran through your head. Right back to when he had to hold on top of the vanity in the makeup room kissing you and running his hands along your thigh up your dress. Then you felt Hoseok slightly squeeze your thigh pulling you out of your thoughts. 

"We're here Y/n."

"O-okay."

Taking off your seatbelt you reach over to open your door but just as you touched the handle Hoseok grabbed your other hand and pulled you closer to him. 

"What are you doing?"

"I-I'm opening t-the door?"

"No. I'll open it for you."

Opening his own door he grabbed his jacket and pulled it over his arms before closing his door and walking around to open yours. Reaching out his hand for you to take he helped you out of the car before stepping close and grabbing you by your waist. Closing the car door and lightly pushing you up against the car before whispering in your ear slowly. 

"When you're with me you don't have to open the car door because I will always open it for you."

He pulled back and looked you in your eyes and gave you a small smile. 

"Understand?"

You nodded your head telling him you understood but that wasn't enough for him because without warning he grabbed your ass and pulled your body against his before speaking again. 

"I want to hear you say yes Y/n. Do you understand?"

Looking at him in the eyes feeling your knees slightly give out under his intense stare he was giving you you nodded your head and started speaking low enough for it to be a whisper.

"Y-yes I understand."

"Good. Now let's go eat."

Grabbing your hand he gave you a smile and led you into the restaurant ,the fast mood changes giving you whiplash. As soon as you walked through the door the lady at the front desk greeted you and Hoseok. 

"Good evening may I have the name for your reservation please."

Hoseok gives her a small smile before answering.

"J-Hope."

She looks down at the paper In front of her to look for his name. 

"Oh yes Mr. Jung you have the rooftop table. Right this way please."

She grabs two menus and starts leading you to the rooftop. 

As you're walking you slightly squeeze Hoseok's hand to get his attention. When he looks at you you almost freeze with how he looks at you. 

"You got us a rooftop table?"

He gives you a small smile before he pulls you closer to whisper in your ear as he answers you. 

"Yes I did because it's more private then sitting in the main dining room and I thought this would be a better way to get to know you."

As you make your way to the table the lady from the front desk sets down your menus and tells you a waiter will be with you in a moment. Hoseok pulls out your chair for you. As you sit down you give him a small thank you before he sits across from you. He looks at you for a moment before he starts speaking.

"Do you drink Y/n?"

"Yes, a little."

"Do you like white wine or red?"

"White if that's okay with you."

"Whatever you want to drink I'm fine with."

Just as he finishes his sentence the waiter comes over to greet you and ask for your drink orders. Hoseok tells him that you will have a bottle of white wine. The waiter writes it down and says he will be back for the food order. As you look at the menu in front of you you can see Hoseok looking at you with his unopened menu in front of him. 

"Hoseok.. are you going to at least look at your menu?"

"Mm~ I would but I already see what I would like to have for dinner."

After he said that you could feel your whole face heat up and all you could do was cover your face with the menu. Across from you you could hear Hoseok let a low chuckle. 

"You're cute when you blush." 

Just then the waiter came back with the wine and poured some into both your glasses. Once he was done you gave him your orders and took a sip of the wine to calm your nerves. Still thinking about the words Hoseok had said to you, your dream from a few days ago came running back through your mind. And you couldn’t help but blush.

“What’s got you blushing now? I didn’t even say anything to you yet.”

“O-oh it’s nothing, I was just thinking about something.”

“Well, tell me about yourself. What made you come to korea?”

“Oh well, america is nice and all but me and my friends wanted a fresh start. So me and my friend Cheyenne moved here 4 years ago to start over. Then we convinced our friend Ant to move here, and he’s been here for about 2 years now.”

“Oh, are those your only friends?”

“No I have another, her name is Jayda, but she only comes to visit from Finland.”

After a few more minutes of just talking and getting to know each other the food finally arrives and you both start eating and talking more. The conversation flowing smoothly as if it came naturally for the both of you. 

AFTER DINNER....

As Hoseok paid for the dinner you finished off the last of the wine in your glass drinking half the bottle by yourself as Hoseok was driving and didn't want to have any. 

On your way back to the car you stumbled a little bit feeling a bit tipsy. Hoseok caught you before you could fall by your waist and pulled you close to him.

"Maybe I shouldn't have let you drink so much tonight."

You giggled at him and held onto him for support.

"N-no I didn't drink a lot. I'm just a lightweight when it comes to drinking, that’s all."

Hoseok let out a small chuckle. Laughing at you as he led you back to the car and opened the door for you. Helping you into the car before walking around and getting into the car himself. 

"Since you are a light drinker, remind me to not leave you alone with Jimin and Yoongi hyung when alcohol is involved then."

Driving off from the restaurant Hoseok looked over at you and noticed you 're slowly drifting off to sleep as he drove. Smiling to himself he just drove and he let you sleep. 

After a while he had finally arrived at your apartment. Looking over at your sleeping figure he let out a small sigh.

"If only I could bring you home with me. Damn maybe I shouldn't have let you drink so much. I can't wait to mark up your beautiful body."

Getting out his car and walking around to your door he opened the door and unbuckled your seat belt. Lightly tapping you he tried waking you up. 

"Y/n...... y/n wake up baby girl."

Nothing. 

"Damn she's probably out cold."

Carefully reaching over you he grabbed your purse quickly looking through for your keys. After finding them he grabbed your purse and picked you up bridal style hoping to not wake you. Lucky he didn't. Closing the door of his car with his foot he quickly walked up the stairs to your apartment. Quickly switching the way he was holding you so your legs were wrapped around his waist and you hung on him like a kola you snuggled into him and he let out a chuckle admiring how cute you were. He unlocked your door and walked in closing the door behind him. He went down the hall to a bedroom. Hoping it was yours. He laid you down on the bed and set your purse down before putting your keys back into it.

He quickly looked around the room for something to take your makeup off you. Finding a pack of makeup wipes he removed your makeup. Not being sure if he was in the right room or not he decided to leave you in your dress. Looking for a piece of paper and a pen he wrote you a note before he set it under your purse for when you woke up. He gave you a kiss on your forehead and left

Unexpected Can Be Beautiful

Presley had only had a couple hours of sleep when suddenly she was awoken bright and early by the natural light that peeled through her tall windows. She hadn't gotten much sleep last night. When she couldn't rest she went down to her kitchen and unpacked almost the entire kitchen. She assumed it was sleeping in a new house that was keeping her up last night. She considered it a win though because she got most of the kitchen done. It's the little things, she thought. Presley started to feel a bit of anxiety about getting the house put together before the house warming party next weekend.

Presley stretched and pulled herself out of the warm cocoon that she had formed within her blankets. She was determined to be productive today. Presley did her best to choke her anxiety down about finishing this house. She decided she would make an affirmation that today was going to be productive and good. Today will be GREAT and I will be productive with my tasks!, she exclaimed. Presley's therapist, Lukas, whom she saw three times a week, was pushing her to make affirmations each day when she arises. Lukas swore by this technique. He states, "One affirmation a day keeps the therapist away." Whatever that means, thought Presley as she rolled her eyes. Lukas annoyed her sometimes with his silly little quotes, but she felt heard by Lukas. Being heard made Presley feel cared for.

Presley used the restroom and made her way to the kitchen. Eggs and toast sounded delightful. She pulled the eggs from the fridge and the bread from the bread box, and began to cook. She was excited to cook on these custom stove ranges. Her friend, Clementine, recommended them. Clementine was married to a wealthy broker. Clementine was always remodeling her home with the newest appliances. That bitch has too much money for her own good, thought Presley, but she does have the best recommendations.

As Presley made her way to her bar to eat her breakfast. It dawned on her that she hated the design on the kitchen walls. What was I thinking when I picked this design?, she thought. She immediately grabbed her phone and called Katie. Katie answered excitedly. She wanted to hear all the details about Presley's first night at the new house. Presley explained to Katie that it was a rough evening adjusting to her new surroundings. "Katie, can you please have the painters come and paint the solid color I picked for the kitchen instead of this dreadful print?" "I'll get them right over!", Kate advised. Presley finished her breakfast and headed back upstairs and changed her clothes and her wig. She had a new short blue wig that she was dying to try.

Moments later, Presley's security system alerted her that she had a visitor. To her surprise, Katie was standing on the lawn, as well as the maid who was arriving for her first day of service. Presley became annoyed the maid service sent someone to clean today when she specifically told Katie to schedule it days ahead. Presley opened the door and greeted the maid. "Hey! I'm Presley, the owner of this home." "My assistant was supposed to advise your company not to come for a few more days." She asked the cleaner for her name. Annie Lynn Caper, she replied confused. "Annie, what is your SimoApp?, Presley asked politely. "I'm going to send your some funds for your trouble." AnnieLynn42, Annie replied. Presley pressed a few buttons and sent Annie a tip for her trouble. I'll see you bright and early on Monday Annie, Presley declared.

Presley feeling overwhelmed felt relief wash over her when she saw her favorite person, Katie. Kate made her feel safe, taken care of. That was one of the qualities that Presley loved most about Katie. Katie made her way up the stairs and hugged Presley. "Girl tell me everything!", Katie screeched. Presley's eyes filled with tears. "I didn't realize how hard and overwhelming this move would be, Kate." Kate embraced Presley once again. "Remember what Lukas explained to you, this is all temporary.", Kate reassured. Katie felt relieved that she was there to help her friend get through this overwhelming time.

"I was going to wait until after the house warming party to ask you this, but I just can't wait any longer.", Presley excitedly stated. "This house is entirely too large for just one person, would you want to take the entire second level?!" She explained to Kate that she had full creative control over her space, all covered on her dollar. "I feel in debt to you for your hard work and PR, Kate." "You've shaped so much of my career for good, and I want to do this for you." Katie was surprised by this revelation. Katie quickly said yes to Presley's offer. "I'M MOVING TO OASIS SPRINGS Y'ALL!", Katie yelled in excitement.

Presley and Katie shared their excitement together for a few more moments then they retired to their rooms to do some unpacking. Presley was already hours behind schedule. She was determined to get her room done today. Sleeping in a cluttered room isn't good for the mind, she thought. When she made it upstairs to her room, she was delighted by the greenish-teal paint on the walls. I should pinch myself, she surprisingly thought.

After a few hours, Presley emerged into Katie's room. Let's order some pizza, I'm famished. Katie agreed, it was time for some dinner after all their hard work unpacking the house. Katie ordered their pizza on the Don's Pizza Palace app. The app gave a delivery time of an hour. Katie decided to go downstairs and set up the table for dinner. Presley decided to call it a night and take a quick bath before dinner was delivered.

Presley fell into the grey stone tub, hot water moving up her body. Her muscles needed this after all the lifting and hanging. She closed her eyes and quieted her thoughts. The steam filling her nose, she felt a heaviness in her breathing as the warmness soothed her. A warm breeze blew into the bathroom from the arched open doorway, the sheer white curtains following the direction of the breeze. Presley was reaping the benefits of her hard work and the pay off felt intoxicating. A few moments later she heard a knock at the bathroom door. Kate was letting her know the pizza had arrived. "Thank you for letting me know!", said Presley. "I'll be down in a few moments." Presley bathed herself and dried off quickly.

She was starving and ready to devour pizza with Kate. Presley ran down the steps and met Kate on the back porch. The smell of the pizza filled Presley's nose, her stomach growling, she hopped onto the chair. "This smells so delicious, get in my belly," said Presley! Kate giggled at Presley. She was always the comic relief in the room.

They enjoyed their dinner as they chatted about the future. Kate reminded Presley there was a formal dinner for MatchStick's new game release this weekend. Presley replied excitedly, "I am so excited for that event girl, I've been waiting so long to play Lost Avenue PlotTwist2!" Katie quickly grabbed her phone and RSVP'd to the event. Katie was scrolling through her calendar checking events and commitments. All of a sudden her phone notification went off. Presley looked at Katie as she began to have an annoyed look upon her face. "What's wrong Katie?" "It's just this guy that I've been seeing for a while," Katie said. "He's so kind and has been extremely consistent in showing me effort," she explained. "I'm just not feeling it," Katie confessed.

Presley listened to Katie as she expressed her predicament. "Kate the only thing you can do in this situation is communicate," she said lovingly. "You are strong and confident, use those tools," "Lukas says we should always confront issues head on," Presley said proudly. Presley felt proud that she felt emotionally knowledgeable for a moment. "If he's any kind of man, he will understand that you aren't ready for a relationship with him right now," Presley said convincingly. Presley's advice soothed Katie and they finished their dinner after a bit more conversation.

After dinner Katie and Presley made their way to the studio. Presley needed to make an appearance on her channel tonight. Kate knew if she didn't follows would drop exponentially. Presley logged onto VideoStitch, immediately viewers started pouring in. They were very interested to see how Presley's move went. Viewers expressed their excitement that she was back on Videostitch. She explained that the move went well, but had stressed her out. To much of their disappointment tonight's cast wasn't going to be centered around any games. Presley lovingly told her fans that her next stream would be two nights away, as she was planning an eight hour stream. "Keep a look out this weekend for my stream, I'm going to be debuting MatchStick's new release," she exclaimed! During the stream, Kate tiptoed out. She was exhausted from the day. She went to her room, changed her clothes and hopped into bed. Presley logged off from Videostitch an hour later and changed into her pajamas.

Today was productive in the most unexpected ways, Presley thought. As she laid in bed and thought about all the things she was thankful for, it dawned on her that she loved doing life with Katie. Whatever that meant at the moment. She considered doing something nice for Katie to thank her for her support. I'll have to think more about that, Presley pondered. She drifted off to sleep after some thought about gifts.
