My Pride Month Watch List
In celebration of Pride Month, I've decided to watch some (or a lot) of the stuff I've been meaning to watch and want to watch. My list will include current watches, what I want to rewatch, and things I want to watch for the first time.
Here are all the things I will watch this beautiful month of June (in alphabetical order because, yes, I'm that person):
Current Shows
These are shows I’m currently watching and the ones I know I am starting this month.
At 25:00, in Akasaka (Japan)
This is nearing its end. I've enjoyed it so far (despite the dead fish kisses). Not one of my favorites, but definitely enjoyable.
Blue Boys Part 2 (Korea)
Part 1 was so good in terms of the chemistry and overall vibe that I'm excited to see part 2 (which is set to be released sometime this month).
My Stand-In (Thailand)
One of my favorite current shows. A naive (but slowly growing) main character, a scum male lead (whom I absolutely love), beautiful cinematography, grief is present (and I love that shit because it's like therapy for me), angst, supernatural elements, etc. It also has Up Poompat and Poom Phuripan in the main roles. I just love it.
Knock Knock, Boys! (Thailand)
This show started this week with the first two episodes, and it exceeded my expectations. I went into this series wanting to watch it for Seng (who is an amazing actor) and Best (who has something I can't quite put my finger on that pulls me in every time I see him). So far, after only two episodes, I already love it for the chaos (and I’m sure more chaos will come). Also, it includes a loud and proud pansexual character! I love both him and the representation.
Love Sea (Thailand)
It's about a writer (which means I have to watch it) and about the sea (which I love). And not just the sea, but diving as well (I love that even more). I'm starting this as soon as it premiers on the 9th.
My Marvellous Dream is You (Thailand)
I haven’t started this yet because I wanted some episodes to be out before I dove in. But I really like the gifs I’ve seen so far and will definitely dive into this series this month.
OMG! Vampire (Thailand)
This is the 3rd(?) series I'm watching with Frank and Long but I'm having a hard time getting into it. It started with a bang with Frank and Big kissing (dead fish kisses are clearly banned here, and I love it!) and then a bite (which is one of my kinks, lol). But, then... I'm hoping it picks up again soon because it has the potential to entertain me.
Only Boo! (Thailand)
Definitely not my cup of tea. This is way too cute for me. But, since it's about artists, three boys who want to become dancers/performers/idols, I have to watch it. The acting is great, though. I'm really impressed with these kids.
The Rebound (Thailand)
It's Meen. That's it. That's the reason. It's set to start on the 26th.
Sunset X Vibes (Thailand)
I need more Mos and Bank on my screen. That's it. That's the reason I'm watching this. Honestly, I don't know that much about this series, and want to go in blind. I know they'll deliver on the chemistry, and that's more than I can ask for. I'll be watching this as soon as it premiers on the 15th.
The Two of Us (Thailand)
This is the Freya and Meji spinoff from Deep Night and I can't wait to watch these mature sapphic women being domestic. The first episode came out on Thursday, but I'm watching it today.
Wandee Goodday (Thailand)
Another one of my favorite current shows. This is everything I want in a light, funny, super horny show and I love it so much. Yak is one of my all-time favorite GMMTV characters, and I love how this show has paired two buff eye candies together in Inn and Great. (I can't remember if I've seen this dynamic since Max and Tul, but my memory is fucked so I might've forgotten the others...) I just love everything about this show and the chemistry between Yak and Dee. It also includes an ace character, whom I hope I get to see more of in coming episodes. And it includes a lot of neon lights (and I'm a slut for that).
We Are (Thailand)
I'm watching this for the artists that are in the series (and since I'm an artist, it's my duty, lol). I also love Tan and Fang as well as Q and Toey (which are currently the two couples that are keeping me hooked).
Rewatches
These are, just as the headline states, stuff I want to watch again.
I Told Sunset About You + I Promised You the Moon (Thailand)
I want to be blessed with this cinematography and the amazing chemistry between Billikin and PP Krit.
Secret Crush on You (Thailand)
I just love the friend group in this show so much that I want to rewatch it again. Also, it has neon lights (and I'm a slut for that). And Looknam. Do I need to say more? I think not!
Step by Step (Thailand)
This series isn't necessarily that great, but I want need more Up on my screen. Also, Man is such a huge man (and Scandi), and that's a big plus (that he's huge, I mean). And it's got Zorzo (my ideal woman) and Poppy (he's such a gem)! Despite its flaws, I'm really excited to rewatch this.
To Be Continued (Thailand)
I've been meaning to rewatch this since it ended because I loved it so much. So I'm telling myself to dive into it again this month.
Unintentional Love Story (Korea)
There was just something about the vibe of this series that I want to experience again. Also, it's about a potter (and, as you can probably tell from this post, I love watching shows with artists of all kinds).
New Watches
These aren't necessarily newly produced. They are shows/films I've been meaning to watch for quite some time without having gotten around to it. But now is my chance (and duty) to dive in.
A Shoulder to Cry On (Korea)
I've heard some mixed feelings about this, but that doesn't really deter me. And since Korean BLs are usually short, it doesn't matter that much if I end up not liking it.
The Blue Hour (Thailand)
This is a film with Gun ATP (one of my favorite Thai actors), which I've been putting off for far too long. I'm going into it without knowing very much, which is just how I like it.
His (Japan)
I've been meaning to watch this for months, especially after seeing Miyazawa Hio in Egoist at the end of last year.
Light on Me (Korea)
I've heard about this from various sources a lot lately, so I figured I would watch it this month. I don't know anything about it, but I've heard it's good.
Mama Gogo (Thailand)
I've been putting this off for far too long. It was created by Jojo. That's all I need to know, and all I need to dive into it this month.
The Warp Effect (Thailand)
I've been putting this off for far too long. It's about damn time to watch it. Also, it was created by Jojo.
I could put more on my list, but they say June only has 30 days. So, I'll start with this.

A Dirty Chai and a Black Tea with Cardamom, Part 1
A Maiko Modern AU
Summary: In Ty Lee’s quest for her crush of the week, a cute blue-eyed barista at the local tea shop, Mai stumbles into a new college friend group. But it’s not all bad. That one grumpy guy is actually kinda cute…
Author's Note: This idea was gifted to me by the lovely @cowpoopies !! I’m pretty sure you were the first person to respond to my call for prompts, which was really encouraging!! Thank you so super duper much!!
And thank you to whoever’s reading this. Whether you interact or not, I love you and I hope you’re doing well <3
I made Mai very, veeeeery oblivious here, lol. My depressing in-story explanation is that her mother ruined her self-esteem. The real reason is that I like Mai and Zuko being super duper awkward and then pining for long periods of time. Anyway, I hope you enjoy! Part 2 of 2 will be out sometime next week hopefully. 
WC: 5,010
Mai yawned. It was seven in the morning. An absolutely ungodly hour to be functioning in the world. Her roommate had dragged her out of bed at 6:30 and coerced her into getting ready for the day. They were now on their way to acquire caffeine, passing brick house after brick house on the path out of campus and onto Main St. “Remind me why I’m awake right now?”
Ty Lee giggled. The piercing noise reverberated in the suburbs of the quaint town. Mai longed to put in her airpods and drown it all out with music. “I’ve told you like a million times. We need to see the cute barista at the tea shop!”
“And I need to be there because…” she drawled.
“You are going to demonstrate that I have friends and I’m not a murderer. It’s like the mandatory group pic on a dating profile that shows you have social skills,” Ty Lee explained. 
“Right.” Mai knew that arguing was futile. At the very least, she could get a headstart on her Judicial Politics paper. Or she could do her Research Methods lab of the week. Or start studying for her Philosophy of Law exam. Ugh! Time to stop thinking about school. As the houses abruptly became parking lots and store fronts, Mai asked, “So, which crush is this? The girl with the pretty hair, the boy with the blue eyes, or the mohawk guy.”
“Blue eyes! He’s so dreamy,” Ty Lee did a twirl as she walked. “He wears his hair in a ponytail and he makes the funniest jokes. You can’t miss him!”
“And does he have a name?”
“Probably.” Ty Lee skipped ahead and Mai sighed. If Ty Lee didn’t even know this person’s name, then she didn’t see why she was already being called into action as wingwoman. 
They stopped outside of the storefront. Mai was surprised she hadn't noticed the place before. It wasn't far from their dorm building at all, and the warm glow of the lights beckoned her in. The sign on the window read ‘The Jasmine Dragon’. 
Ty Lee walked in first, causing a string of bells on the door to jingle. Mai followed and looked around for their target. The walls were adorned with illustrations of different tea leaves, and Mai recognized a decent number of them from her Aunt Mura’s greenhouse. The inside of the building was much more spacious than Mai would’ve guessed, and housed a number of sage-green tables. The counter was at the back of the shop, likely for the ease of connecting to a storeroom. The menu above the wall housed a wide array of teas and other beverages that sounded intriguing. Mai made a mental note to return at a time when she didn’t feel like death.
Ty Lee was not lying when she said the barista was hot. He was leaning forward on the counter next to the register, cradling his chin in his palm. His eyes were closed, perhaps dozing off. (Mai didn’t blame him one bit.) He had long black hair, but it was not in a ponytail as Ty Lee said it would be. His muscular physique was apparent, even under his t-shirt and apron. Mai was surprised that Ty Lee hadn’t mentioned the nasty scar around his left eye, but she assumed her friend wanted to be polite.
“Excuse me,” Ty Lee said, waking the barista. Mai noted that his eyes weren’t blue after all. He must be the wrong person. “My friend and I were hoping to order.”
He stood up, and glanced between the two of them. He immediately began blushing, and Mai couldn’t help but find it adorable. The poor guy probably had a hopeless crush on Ty Lee, like every other man on the planet, and he had just embarrassed himself by sleeping on the job. Mai hadn’t met Blue-Eyes yet, but so far she was rooting for Drowsy. 
“Umm… Sorry about that. W-what would you like?” he asked. He was looking squarely at Mai, as if Ty Lee didn’t exist. He must be trying to play it cool. Mai wanted to pull him aside and tell him that strategy was never going to work on her friend, but she knew it wasn’t her place.
Ty Lee piped up first, “I’ll take a large vanilla matcha milk tea with tapioca pearls.”
As Drowsy entered her order on the register, a second person appeared from the back.
“Hey! Our first customers of the day. How are you lovely ladies?” This must be Blue-Eyes for sure. He had the signature ponytail and radiant brown skin. Mai couldn’t deny he was attractive. The “lovely ladies” line annoyed her though. 
Ty Lee giggled and batted her eyelashes at him. “My morning is always good when I start my day here.”
Blue-Eyes laughed. “I know Zuko’s customer service isn’t that good. He was sleeping like two seconds ago.”
“I wasn’t!” Zuko demanded, but his vociferous protest did not help his case. He seemed to be fidgeting in his seat.
Blue-Eyes nudged him with his elbow. “Have you even taken their orders yet?”
Zuko nudged him back, harder. “I was before you interrupted!”
Mai took that as her cue. “I’ll have a medium hot dirty chai latte. Her treat.” She pointed at Ty Lee, who smiled brightly.
“I’m a very magnanimous friend.” She pulled out her credit card and passed it to Zuko who cashed them out. 
Blue-Eyes ignored her and focused on Mai. “I never would’ve guessed you were a chai type of girl. You seem like a black coffee person.” Ty Lee pouted.
Mai shrugged, “I don’t want to have to suffer to be caffeinated. Life has enough pain.”
Blue-Eyes laughed. “I feel you. This one time–”
Zuko tapped him on the shoulder. “Sokka, can you help me make the drinks?”
Sokka. So he did have a name. Why did it sound so familiar? And Drowsy– no, Zuko– seemed to be annoyed with him. But maybe that was just how Zuko was. As a fellow grump, Mai appreciated it. 
Mai and Ty Lee found a table while the two men moved around behind the counter getting their drinks and whispering to each other. Mai could only catch snippets but she was pretty sure they were arguing about who should bring their drinks over. 
Ty Lee leaned forward and spoke quietly. “Ugh! I think he’s into you, Mai.”
Mai raised an eyebrow. “Don’t be ridiculous. When in the history of our friendship has that happened? They’re fighting to deliver your tea right now.”
“Hmph!” Ty Lee pulled out a textbook and resolutely ignored her friend. 
Real mature, Mai thought as she pulled out her laptop. She never got annoyed when guys were into Ty Lee. Even hot guys like Zuko. That was like girl code 101.
She pulled up her essay prompt and bit her lip. Justice Own Roberts wrote: “The judicial branch of the Government has only one duty – to lay the article of the Constitution which is invoked beside the statute which is challenged and to decide whether the latter squares with the former.” Does his estimation allow for the justices to exercise their ethical codes? Should the personal ethics of these appointed officials–
“Umm… here’s your tea.” Mai looked up to see Zuko standing over them. Ty Lee had already received her tea, and it seemed to slightly improve her mood.
“Thank you.” Mai accepted her chai and took a deep breath to catch the scent. It smelled nice and strong, just how she liked it. Zuko was still standing over their table, and it seemed he was about to say something more when the door opened.
“Sokka! Tell Toph she can’t drop out of college and become an underground MMA fighter.” Mai recognized the girl, Katara, from a few of her classes. She was followed by Toph, who Mai also knew, and bald guy that Mai had seen around campus.
“No! Tell Sugar Queen here that a college degree is overrated in our fucked economy.”
Mai laughed despite herself, and everyone stopped to look at her.
“Oh, hi Mai!” Katara made her way to stand behind Mai’s chair. “Are you working on Judicial Politics? That essay is killing me.”
Mai nodded. “There is no fathoming the depths of my hatred for that class.”
Sokka made his way from behind the counter. “So do I need to settle the underground fighter dispute or…”
The bald guy shook his head vigorously. “Let’s just hope they forget about it.”
Toph crossed her arms. “We can all hear you. I’m blind, not deaf.”
“Oh!” Something clicked in Mai’s head. “Sokka is your brother, isn’t he? And Suki’s boyfriend.” She shot a meaningful look at Ty Lee.
“That’s right. Are you coming to practice with us later? You can bring your friend,” Katara said. Suki led women’s self-defense courses that Mai, Katara, and Toph all attended. She called her troop the Kyoshi Warriors. Mai thought the name was a bit much, but she enjoyed it all the same.
Mai realized she was in the unique position of knowing more people in a group than her roomate. “This is my best friend, Ty Lee. What do you say? Wanna tag along to Warrior practice later?”
“No, thank you though. I have gymnastics at the same time, remember?”
That was a lie, but Mai nodded along. She had told Ty Lee about Suki in the past, and it seemed that Ty Lee was not in the mood to meet her.
“Well, now that the troops are assembled, I assume you’re all having your usual orders?” Sokka asked. There was a chorus of assent from the newcomers. Sokka grabbed Zuko by the arm to drag him back to work.
“Wait– I haven’t–” Zuko resisted and everyone stopped to look at him. He locked eyes with Mai. “Nevermind.” He allowed himself to be led away. 
“Oh, I get it.” Toph laughed to herself. She must have uncovered his crush on Ty Lee. Despite her lack of eyesight, the woman was alarmingly perceptive.
“Get what?” Katara asked, irritation creeping into her voice. “Secrets don’t make friends.” The two began squabbling and the bald guy extricated himself.
“Hi! I’m Aang. Katara’s boyfriend.” 
“Hi.” Mai replied. She wasn’t sure what to say next. 
“You’re majoring in philosophy and poli sci, right?”
“Yeah, that’s right. What about you?”
“I’m a philosophy major too, but I don’t think we’ve had any classes together.”
“No,” Mai replied.
Katara, seemingly finished with Toph, reappeared. “How are you feeling about Professor Jeong Jeong’s Philosophy of Law midterm?”
Mai sighed. “I’m feeling like Toph has the right idea. After that exam, I might have to find a new career plan.”
Katara nodded sympathetically. “We should study together! You can come over to my place sometime.”
“That would be great! Does Wednesday afternoon work?” There were very few people in her classes that Mai would agree to study with, but Katara was an exception. She was brilliant and always kind. Not to mention, Mai was warming up to her little group of friends.
“That’s perfect! I’ll text you with the details later.” 
Ty Lee perked up. “Mind if I join you guys? I’m not in your class, but I’m more productive when I’m surrounded by others. It focuses my energy.” Mai struggled not to roll her eyes at Ty Lee’s bullshit.
“That’s fine by me! It was nice to meet you!” Katara and Aang left to pick up their drinks.
Ty Lee snapped her book shut, mood buoyed again. “Are you ready to head out?”
Mai stared at her blank Google doc and sighed. It wasn’t a productive morning, but it wasn’t awful to socialize for a change. “Yeah okay.” They gathered their stuff, and Ty Lee tossed her cup in the garbage. Mai had no idea how she chugged it so fast.
As they reached the door, Zuko called out, “Thanks for stopping by!” His hand was raised in an adorably awkward wave. Mai kicked herself. He wasn’t into her. Her mom had made it abundantly clear that guys didn’t like gloomy girls. 
Still, Ty Lee wasn’t giving him the time of day. Mai returned his wave and gave him a small smile before chasing her friend out of the tea shop. 
Ty Lee was already halfway down the block by the time she caught up.
“I think Zuko is way hotter than Sokka! You should go for him. He might be single.”
Ty Lee rolled her eyes. “Oh Mai! He couldn’t take his eyes off you that whole time. You should totally go for it, though.” Mai blushed. “Besides, you got us an invite to Sokka’s house, assuming he lives with his sister.”
“That was why you invited yourself to our study session?” Mai laughed. “What if Katara lives with Aang or has a roommate on campus?”
“Then I’ll say the energy is off and it’s affecting my aura and I’ll leave early,” Ty Lee explained like it was the most obvious thing in the world.
“This is why I don’t believe in auras. You change the rules all the time.”
Ty Lee smirked, “Your aura was much pinker in there than normal. Did that have anything to do with a certain sleepy barista?”
“Oh shut up!” Mai trudged on ahead, hearing Ty Lee’s giggles behind her. 
— — 
As the pretty girl and her friend left, Zuko lowered his hand. Was waving cringy? The way he did it probably was. But the pretty girl had smiled! At him! He wanted that to happen again. The friend had stopped by many times before, but she’d never brought the pretty girl with her. Mai, Zuko remembered. 
His friends had congregated around their normal table in the back with their drinks. Zuko claimed a seat in between Katara and Toph.
“Sooooo, you guys know Mai from class and stuff?”
Katara chuckled, “That was not subtle at all. You like her?”
Toph punched his arm, “Looks like Sugar Queen finally caught on.”
Aang was beaming. “This is so exciting! Zuko’s never had a crush before!”
Zuko’s jaw dropped. “Yes I have! You all only met me two years ago. What are you talking about?”
Sokka cut him off, “Well this is the first time you’ve called dibs.”
Katara’s eyebrow twitched. “Eww! You two have a system for calling dibs on ogling your female customers!”
“Hey!” Sokka protested. “It works on all customers regardless of gender. And it’s a tried and true hand signal.” He made a series of complicated movements that Zuko had memorized only through seeing them many, many times before Sokka met Suki. 
Katara glared at her brother. “That’s still objectifying and degrading. Besides, you have a girlfriend!”
“And I love her! I haven’t ogled anyone since we started dating. Zuko was the one who called dibs anyway.”
Zuko sighed. “I thought you could help me out. But I think she was clearly just more into you than me.”
“Dude, what? She was definitely checking you out. What happened to our plan? You were going to take out their drinks and ask for her number.” Zuko appreciated that Sokka was trying to cheer him up, but there was no way Pretty Girl was looking at him for his attractiveness. His fingers itched to touch his scar. He formed a fist in his lap instead.
“Oh please. Do you remember the first thing she said to Katara?” He pitched his voice higher, “‘Oh this is your super hot brother? But he’s dating Suki? Life is full of suffering.’”
Toph kicked him under the table. “I don’t think that was why she asked about Sokka. I feel like I’ve heard that Ty Lee girl’s voice before. Isn’t she always here when Sokka is working?”
“Oh yeah!” Sokka sounded smug. “She was definitely flirting with me earlier. Maybe her friend was letting her know I’m off the market.” He flexed his muscles. While he was distracted by posing, Katara gagged exaggeratedly at Aang, who was trying desperately not to laugh. 
Zuko smiled. His friends always made things seem… slightly less horrible.
“I have an idea!” Katara said. “Why don’t you happen to be visiting Sokka or Aang during our study session? You took Philosophy of Law last year, right? You can offer to help us and talk to her some more.”
Zuko bit his lip. “I don’t know. Besides, I’m probably working on Wednesday.”
Katara shrugged. “That’s not an issue at all. I’ll text her and ask to change the location to here.”
Sokka nodded. “This is a good plan Katara, I’m impressed.” Katara rolled her eyes. “The shop is really quiet on weekday nights. You could probably still sit with them. Who’s working with you on Wednesday?”
“I’m pretty sure it’s just gonna be Uncle and me.”
“That’s perfect!” Aang said. “Your Uncle is going to be so on board.”
Zuko shuddered. “You are NOT going to tell my Uncle about this.”
Aang frowned. “But he’ll be super helpful. I bet he has great advice for love stuff.”
“That’s so embarrassing.”
The younger man pulled out his phone. “I’m gonna text him.”
“Don’t!” Zuko sprang out of his chair and tried to get around Katara to grab Aang. But Aang was quicker and dashed behind a Sokka. A very intense chase through the shop commenced, to the raucous laughter of their friends.
— — 
Ty Lee hummed happily while applying her mascara. “I hope Zuko and Sokka are both working tonight! Then they might ask us out. It would be so fun to be able to go on double dates with them. We could even have a double wedding!”
Mai sighed. “We spend enough time together already, don’t you think? Besides, Sokka is unavailable, so you need to get over it. And I still think Zuko likes you.”
“Not a chance! You’re so dense sometimes.” Ty Lee sprayed some perfume and Mai tapped her foot impatiently.
“Are you ready to–” Mai was cut off by a notification on Ty Lee’s phone. 
The other girl gasped. “OH MY GOD! The girl with pretty hair asked me to get dinner tonight! I’m freaking out! Do I look okay?” Ty Lee began frantically running around their tiny dorm room. 
“You look great,” Mai assured. “I guess this means you’re ditching me tonight?”
Ty Lee shrugged, “Duty calls. We’ll have to take a rain check on that double wedding scheme.”
“Bummer,” Mai deadpanned. “If that’s the case, then I’m leaving now. Have fun and stay safe!”
Ty Lee winked. “I always do.”
As Mai made the short journey to the tea shop, she couldn’t help but feel nervous at the prospect of meeting Zuko again. She hated herself for getting so worked up. She hardly knew the guy, so he shouldn't be affecting her like this. She certainly hadn't thought about Kei Lo this much before they started dating. And Zuko wasn’t into her. No way.
She caught sight of the familiar facade and pushed through the door, to the chime of the bells. The shop was almost completely deserted except for Katara sitting alone at a table near the back. Zuko and an older man were working behind the counter. There wasn’t a Sokka in sight, so it was probably for the best that Ty Lee found other means of entertaining herself. 
“Welcome in!” the old man smiled warmly. “Katara tells me you two have quite the night of studying ahead of you. Order whatever you want, on the house!”
“Oh!” Mai was taken aback by his generosity. “Are you sure?”
“Of course! I’m not so old that I’ve forgotten my school days. Besides, what's the point of owning a business if I can’t flaunt it a bit?”
Mai smiled. Before college, she hadn’t met very many generous people, and even fewer jovial ones. She decided to take a page from his book and be whimsical for a change. “In that case, I want your favorite thing on the menu. Since you’re the owner, you probably have good taste.”
The old man laughed. “I like to think so! But I would be devastated if you didn’t like it. How about I have my nephew whip something up for you instead?”
He gestured to Zuko, who Mai realized was staring at her very intently. Did she say something awful? Did he think she was weird? Oh! He was probably wondering where Ty Lee was. Maybe his uncle was only being so nice because he thought she was the girl Zuko liked.
She could feel her cheeks getting red. “That would be great… Um… Thanks again.” 
The spirit of whimsy whooshed out of her body and she retreated to Katara’s table.
The other girl already had her textbook, notes, printed study guide, and laptop in position. It did not make Mai feel better. 
“I’m so sorry I’m late,” she checked her watch, but luckily it was only five minutes after their scheduled time.
Katara smiled, “You’re not late at all! Sokka, Toph, and I came here after our lectures so I’ve been here all day. Midterms are killing me, but this is a good place to zone in and focus. You should totally come here more often.” Her eyes twinkled and Mai didn’t know what was happening. She would almost think Katara was flirting with her, but wasn’t she in a relationship with Aang?
Mai noticed Zuko, not too far from them working on her order. Mai spoke slightly louder than normal to ensure he heard, “Yeah, Ty Lee loves it here. But Ty Lee had something come up today, so Ty Lee won’t be here.” It was highly un-subtle and inelegant, but she wanted to be sure Zuko understood that Ty Lee wasn’t coming. She hated to think he would get his hopes up, anticipating her arrival.
“Oh yeah,” Katara said, “I forgot she was going to come with you.” Zuko must not have told Katara about his crush.
Mai pulled out her study materials, and Zuko approached their table. “I– I made this for you.” He gently set the cup amid the mess of books and paper. “It’s black tea with cardamom and a dash of milk. It’s my favorite for studying.” He gazed resolutely at the floor.
“Thank you,” Mai said. Zuko didn’t leave and Mai wondered if he wanted her to try it before him. Surely it was too hot.
But then Katara spoke up, “Oh my goodness!” Mai looked up, startled. Perhaps cardamom held a special significance to the other girl. “Zuko, I just remembered! You took philosophy of law last year, right?” 
“Yes. I did,” he replied robotically.
“Do you think you could help us study? You are really smart and get excellent grades.” Katara spoke like she was announcing the fact to a crowd.
“Yes and I love helping others!” Zuko offered. Mai was not sure how that was relevant, but she supposed he couldn’t hurt. Besides, it would be nice to see him up close.
“Uncle!” Zuko called out, “Do you mind if I sit with them for a little while? I can help out if we get more customers.”
The old man was already looking their way, a gleam in his eye. Mai heard the distinct undertone of humor in his voice: “Don’t worry about it! I can manage.”
Zuko turned his attention back to them and looked between both sides of the table. Katara moved her backpack off the floor and into the seat beside her. Zuko sat beside Mai, and Katara smiled from ear to ear.
“So, when I took this class, Jeong Jeong gave us a list of ten essay questions and then he chose two of those to write on the day of the exam. Is the format still the same?” 
Mai nodded. “I printed out an extra study guide for Ty Lee in case she got bored.” She handed it over, and Zuko’s fingers grazed hers as he took it.
He glanced over the prompts. “My strategy for exams like this is to target the readings and lectures that apply to most questions. That way, I know there’s at least one source I can reference. 
Mai nodded. “I think we should start with Aquinas for natural law theory and Hart for legal positivism. That will give us a good overview of the main debate in the course. 
Katara tapped her fingers on the table, “Do you think he’ll take points off if we disagree with him? He’s a big advocate for natural law, right?”
“Definitely,” Mai agreed. “He never shuts up about it.” Zuko chuckled and Mai felt warmth blossom in her chest.
“I don’t think he’ll take points off if you explain your case, though,” Zuko replied.
“Okay then,” Katara began flipping through her textbook. “Let’s start with Aquinas.”
— — 
“Yes, but you have to keep in mind that the judges don’t have a standardized moral code. What if the Supreme Court accepts a case reviewing–” Zuko’s train of thought halted as Mai shifted in his direction. They were almost touching. He could shift and their arms would be pressed together. “I’m sorry, what was I saying?”
Mai gave him a sympathetic look. “Don’t worry about it. It’s almost closing time for the shop and we’ve been at this for ages. Maybe we should call it quits?”
“No!” he said before he could stop himself. It was true that they’d been studying for almost two and half hours at that point, but he didn’t want it to end. Zuko had studied his old notes all week in preparation for this. (It was more than he’d studied when he’d taken the class the first time around.) But he really wanted to be helpful and impress Mai. 
Over his short time knowing her, his crush had only grown. She was beautiful, obviously, but her sharp wit and humor made talking to her very entertaining. Even when the topic was Philosophy of Law. Beyond that, she was incredibly smart and she grasped the concepts very quickly. It was apparent that she didn’t need his help, but he liked watching her in her element. Crap, was that creepy?
Katara rubbed her forehead. Zuko knew she was really stressed over midterms, but she still rehearsed their little speech about asking for his help studying at least half a dozen times before Mai’s arrival. In true wingwoman fashion, Katara backed him up yet again: “I know it’s getting late, but what if we talk through this last prompt really quickly. We’re almost all the way through the study guide.”
Mai agreed, but just then the bells on the door jingled. Zuko looked over to see that it was Aang. He came to stand behind Katara and rubbed her shoulders. “How’s it going?”
Katara leaned into his touch. “It’s awful. I’m going to fail. Why am I minoring in Justice in Society anyway? I don’t need it for med school.” 
Aang smiled down at her. “Do you remember the last exam you thought you were going to fail? You got, what? Ninety-five percent?”
Katara crossed her arms. “It was ninety-two.”
“I’m sorry.” Aang kissed the top of her head and she visibly relaxed a little.
Zuko smiled wistfully. He had never had a long term relationship, but maybe… He glanced sideways at Mai, who was still scanning the study guide.
“Hey Zuko!” Aang got his attention once more. “Do you think you could unlock the upstairs for me? I think I left my Tsungi horn in your room.”
Zuko narrowed his eyes. Aang was terrible at the Tsungi horn. He didn’t own one as far as Zuko knew. “Sure. I’ll help you look.”
They went into the back room and Aang stopped them before they could go any farther. “So how’s the mission going? Katara texted me that she thinks Mai likes you for sure.”
Zuko’s cheeks flamed. “I don’t know about all that. I still think she might have been into Sokka. She was talking to Uncle– Oh! Also, she really got along with Uncle Iroh.” He knew he was probably smiling like a fool, but Aang was in no place to judge.
“Zuko, everyone gets along with your uncle. It would be really concerning to me if she didn’t,” Aang pointed out.
“Fair enough,” he sighed. “But it’s still important to me. Anyway, she was talking to him and he mentioned me. When she first saw me it was like the wind left her sails or something.”
Aang shook his head. “I’m sure you’re misinterpreting things. And that was just at first, right? How have things been going otherwise?”
Zuko bit his lip. “I actually think they’re going pretty well. I mean, we’re getting along well enough but it’s hard to tell. We’re studying and Katara’s there, so I don’t know if she likes me all that much.”
Aang snapped his fingers. “I have an idea! Let’s go!” The younger man grabbed Zuko’s wrist and led him back out into the shop before he could protest.
Mai examined them. “No luck finding it?”
“Nope,” Aang smiled nervously. “Not a trumpet in sight?”
Mai’s brow furrowed. “I thought you were looking for a Tsungi horn?”
“None of those either,” Aang laughed in a stilted manner. “Anyway, I had an idea. Since this exam is so awful, what if we all went out to dinner to celebrate when it’s over? You and Katara can relax, and it'll be my treat! And Zuko can come since he helped out.”
Mai hesitated, and Zuko wished the floor would swallow him. Aang came on way too strong. He was going to scare her off and she would never come back.
Katara spoke up. “That’s a great idea! We deserve it, don’t you think?”
Mai relented. “Okay… but I can pay for myself. You’re all too kind. Seriously.” Zuko almost crumpled to the ground in relief. 
Mai left shortly after, and the shop closed for the evening. But the end of day chores didn’t feel so mundane, with the knowledge that he would be seeing Mai again so soon.

So...I'm back!! I know I said this prompt would suit Vernon but I really wanted to write this for Dino, lol! I hope you enjoy~
The Day Hadn't Been That Big A Disaster
Seventeen going to Game Caterers was by far one of their most anticipated promotional activities for ‘Super’. All of the members are super excited and when the day finally rolls around, Chan is one of the members who can barely contain his excitement. As he had been in Hybe Caterers last year, Chan was even more excited to be able to do Game Caterers again with all of his hyungs. When all the members pour into their company cars at 7 in the morning, Chan’s practically buzzing with excitement despite it being super early for all the members. Chan takes a seat next to the window and not even 5 seconds later, Soonyoung takes a seat right next to the maknae. As soon as Chan feels Soonyoung close enough to him, he leans his head against his hyung, sighing happily. Soonyoung chuckles as he runs a hand through Chan’s hair. “You’re that excited, huh?” Chan sighs again, reaching out and intertwining his fingers with his hyung’s. “I’m excited, yes. But I feel like I'm more nervous. I just want everything to be perfect.” Soonyoung hums softly, squeezing Chan’s hand. “We’ll be fine, Chan-ah. Everything will be perfect.” Chan nods against his hyung’s shoulder and Soonyoung smiles despite Chan not being able to see it. The two stay like that till the company vans reach the filming site. It’s a beautiful day with the sky being a bright blue color and pink flowers growing everywhere. Chan takes in the beautiful sight as, one by one, his hyungs walk out of the van and enter the filming area. They’re given some free time to do what they want for a while as the staff prepare the cameras. And then, the filming finally starts. 
The introduction segment passes by in a flash. And, thanks to the Game Caterers staff and Na PD himself, everything’s going just as perfectly as Chan had hoped. Having fun with his hyungs has always been one of Chan’s goals during every promotional activity and he’s happy that he’s able to do just that here. Soon enough, Seventeen get started with the first important segment, the character quiz. Before that, however, they are given some free time to rest a bit after a bout of uninterrupted filming. During the break, Hansol approaches him. Taking a seat next to Chan, he casually fixes Chan’s hair and Chan leans into the gentle touch. Hansol laughs at that. “You’re having fun?” He asks and Chan nods brightly, making Hansol laugh again. ‘I’m glad. I know how excited you were for this.” Chan hums at Hansol’s words before leaning in closer to him. “Hyung, did you wear a new perfume? It smells amazing!” “Yeah, I did. Do you like it?” Hansol asks and Chan nods enthusiastically. Hansol pulls out the same perfume from his bag, the perfume being from some luxury brand Hansol’s worked with, and sprays some more of it on his wrist, bringing his wrist closer to Chan so that he can smell the scent. “Yeah, hyung, I love it!” Hansol laughs at that, muttering something about Chan being cute to which Chan pouts. But the thing is, even though Chan loves Hansol’s new perfume, he can’t ignore the sharp itch that the scent brought to his nose when he smelt it. Deciding to brush this information off for now, Chan turns his attention to filming the next segment of the show. He'll deal with it later, Chan tells himself.
Unfortunately, dealing with it later proves to not be an option as soon as they start filming. As Na PD is explaining the rules to his members, Chan feels a sharp tickling sensation in the back of his sinuses. He rubs at his nose, sniffling softly but all that does is make the tickle stronger. He pinches his nose shut, not wanting to draw attention to himself, knowing how forceful his sneezes can be. Soon enough, his breath starts to hitch and his eyes flutter shut. “hh’NgtTt!-” Chan successfully stifles the sneeze, sniffling wetly and blinking the irritated tears out of his eyes. Hansol turns to him, leaning in closer. “God bless you, Chan-ah.” He whispers and Chan nods at him, sniffling again. 
Chan manages to hold back the tickle for a little while as his members continue to play the first round. However, that really doesn't last long. Soon enough, the tickle returns to Chan’s sinuses in full force as he leans against Hansol’s shoulder, his breath hitching desperately again. “hh'NgtChiHh!-” Leaning against Hansol seemed to have muffled the sneeze and Chan sighs, rubbing his nose cautiously before pulling away. Hansol gives him a concerned look. “God bless you, Chan-ah! You okay?” Chan meets Hansol’s eyes, reading the concern and worry obvious in them. “I'm fine, hyung. I don't even know why I'm sneezing. It'll pass in a while, you don't need to worry.” Hansol huffs a breath but doesn't say anything else. Chan feels a little bad for not being able to explain himself to Hansol but he decides to deal with that later as well. The game goes on and so far Chan is doing quite alright in keeping his nose in check. However, when Hansol leans against Chan for a while, laughing at something another member said, Chan’s breath starts hitching again. He pinches his nose shut again, eyes growing watery before he closes them. “hh'NgTtChuHh!- hh'NgtShiHh!-” Mingyu, who happens to be next to Chan, pats his back comfortingly. Hansol pulls away from Chan and sighs, clearly confused as to why Chan’s sneezing so much. And honestly, Chan doesn't know himself at this point. “Bless you, Chan-ah.” Mingyu leans in closer to Chan so that the others can't hear. “Chan-ah, are you okay?” Chan nods, almost too quickly. “I'm fine, hyung.” Chan says, his tone icy, very unlike how he's usually like. Seeming to have picked up on his irritated tone, Mingyu doesn't say anything else, deciding on just keeping an eye on the younger. Hansol wraps an arm around Chan, massaging his tense muscles.
Surprisingly, Chan manages to hold off the tickle every time the camera is on him. However, it's next to impossible not to sneeze during the filming in general. After a round of them losing again, Hansol leans in to say something to Chan. Chan tries to focus on his hyung’s words but all he can think about is the irritating tickle in his nose. Giving up yet again, Chan pinches his nose again, gasping softly. “hh'NgtShuhhH!- hh'NgtChiHh!-” Chan lets out a shuddering breath, rubbing his nose harshly. It felt like the more he sneezed, the itchier his nose got and it was frustrating as hell. Hansol runs a hand through Chan's hair, hoping to provide some sense of comfort to him. “Bless you, Chan-ah.” Chan sighs, leaning his head onto Hansol’s shoulder as his eyes close involuntarily. “Thanks, hyung.” He says, his voice low and worn out. The two stay like that till the game inevitably restarts and when it does, Chan pulls away from Hansol, his hyung’s arm still around him, determined to not sneeze for the rest of the filming.
Thankfully, the character quiz finishes at last (with the members having lost everything) and the members are given another break. As soon as the director calls cut, Chan feels the annoying tickle return to his sinuses. Having Hansol’s arm still around him, Chan’s unable to pull away completely. But as he's finally able to allow himself to actually sneeze, Chan lets his breath hitch as he brings an arm up to his face, choosing to just turn away from Hansol. “hh'AktChiHhh!- hh'IktChuHhh!-” His members turn to him immediately, most of them mirroring looks of concern. Hansol hands him a tissue pack and Chan takes it, grateful. Taking a tissue out, Chan blows his nose, his eyes closing off their own accord as he groans immediately after. “G'bless you, Chan-ah.” Hansol says as Seungkwan (who had come out of nowhere to stand right next to Chan) rubs his shoulder. Chan groans, the sound coming out congested. “Ugh, I don't know what's wrong with me! I haven't been able to stop sneezing since I arrived. It’s seriously driving me crazy!” Hansol pulls him into a side hug, hoping to provide some comfort to the frustrated maknae, and Chan leans into him, sniffling wetly. However, the hug only seems to irritate his sinuses more. Chan feels his breath hitch again for the millionth time and he cups his hands around his nose and mouth, Hansol’s hand still on his back. “hh'AktChuhHh!- hh'IkTShuhHh!-” “Bless you, Channie! Oh, I definitely think something's causing you to have an allergic reaction. I don't think I've ever seen you sneeze this much. Ever.” As soon as Seungkwan says that, something dawns on Seungcheol's face as he turns to Jeonghan, whispering something to the other man. Chan groans, rubbing his hands across his face. “What the hell am I even allergic to?” At that, Seungcheol steps in. Leaning closer to Hansol, he brings Hansol’s wrist closer to his nose, smelling his perfume before turning to Chan. “Chan-ah, can you smell Hansol’s perfume again? I'm pretty sure you're allergic to that.” As soon as he hears that, Hansol’s face takes on an expression of guilt. But wanting to bring Chan out of his misery as soon as possible, Hansol pulls out his perfume from his bag and sprays it right in front of Chan's face. The effect is immediate. Chan's breath starts hitching desperately and his eyes grow watery as he closes them. He brings his hands up to cup his face again as Soonyoung wraps an arm around his shoulders for stability. “hh'AktChuhhH!- hh'IktChUhhH!’ Hhh…hH'IktShuHhh!-” Chan lets out an irritated sound after the sneezes, an allergic tear rolling down his cheek, Soonyoung immediately reaching out to wipe it off.
Hansol doesn't think he's ever felt this guilty in his life, ever. “I'm sorry, Chan-ah! I should have checked whether you were allergic to my perfume before wearing it today. And you were so excited for today's shoot too. I'm really sorry!” At those words, Chan looks up at Hansol with watery eyes. “Hyung, you don't have to be sorry. It's fine, seriously. I'm just glad I know why I was sneezing so much earlier.” Hansol isn't satisfied at all. “But-” “No buts, hyung,” Chan interrupts. “I'm fine now and I don't mind that the shooting got slightly ruined. I'm pretty sure we'll have to shoot again anyway.” Chan turns to Seungcheol while saying that and the leader nods. “Yeah, Chan-ah, I'll have to reschedule this shoot with the company. We can't make you shoot while you're suffering from a severe allergic reaction. I guess you guys can go home. I'll have to stay back to discuss the situation with Na PD-nim.” Soon after saying this, Seungcheol walks away from the group to find the Game Caterers staff. Chan turns to Hansol who’s still looking slightly guilty. Chan smiles up at him, making Hansol crack a smile as well. “Hyung, I seriously don't blame you. How were you supposed to know that I was allergic to your perfume? I'm honestly not even mad that I can't shoot because all I wanna do now is go home and rest.” Hansol laughs at that, ruffling Chan’s hair. “Let's go home then.” He says softly and Chan nods. 
Soon, they're both in their company car, heading back to the dorms. Most of the members decide to go to the company to practice for their upcoming promotional activities but Chan’s allowed to go home and rest with Hansol. In the car, Chan leans against Hansol, yawning widely. Hansol laughs, trying to pull away from the younger. “Chan-ah, you do know that I still have my perfume on, right?” Chan rolls his eyes. “Yeah, hyung. I know. But I just really don't care anymore.” Hansol laughs at that. They fall into a comfortable silence only broken by Chan's frequent sniffles. But like Hansol had warned, Chan’s close proximity to Hansol soon made his breath start hitching again. As they didn't have any cameras on them right now, Chan just brings his wrist to his nose, eyes closing as he gasps softly. “hh'IktChiHhh!- “hh'AktShuHhH!- Hhh…!” Chan sniffles, groaning as the tickle in his nose doesn't subside. Instead it gets even worse, making Chan’s breath hitch even more. “Do you want to smell my perfume once? Maybe it'll help you sneeze more freely.” Hansol asks, noticing Chan’s discomfort. Chan nods, letting his eyes close, waiting for the inevitable. Hansol brings his wrist closer to Chan’s nose making Chan’s breath start to hitch almost immediately. Hansol pulls a tissue out and holds it in front of the younger's face quickly. Soon enough, Chan gasps softly, hands coming up to cup Hansol’s hands that are holding the tissue in front of his face. “hh'HktChuHh!- hh'NgtChuHh!- Hhh…hH'IktShUhHh!-” Chan groans after the sneezes, letting his body slump onto the car seat. Hansol rubs at Chan’s nose with the tissue, the gesture only making Chan’s already sensitive nose even more irritated. Chan quickly turns away from Hansol with a gasp. “hh'AktChihh!-” Chan rubs at his nose harshly, the tickle finally going away for a while. “God bless you, Chan-ah! You good?” Chan opens his irritated eyes to glare at Hansol. “I guess you could say I've been better.” Hansol laughs at that. “What, the great Channie is finally admitting weakness?” He says teasingly and Chan lets out a frustrated sigh. “I know I said I don't blame you but please don't make me change that.” Chan says, a smile finally pulling out of him. Hansol smiles as well. “Yeah, I know. I won't. You should probably rest right about now, Chan-ah.” Hansol says and Chan nods. He leans his head onto Hansol’s shoulder, his eyes closing again, letting out a content sigh. Hansol smiles to himself.
Well, even though the day had been a disaster, at least he could say that it wasn't that bad.

i love how the worldbuilding in season 1 of mlp is done omg. i love that the world and seasons are all managed by ponies, that sorta gets less emphasis in later seasons from what i see. i just thought it extended to rainbow dash’s clouds or the royal sisters with the sun and moon, but nah they physically change the seasons and are in charge of the weather. its super cute i love it

First of all, this blog is wonderful and so are you both!! Make sure to take breaks and don’t push yourselves too hard though! :(
Second, could I request some headcanons for Floyd, Cater and Silver with an s/o that likes to play with their hair when they sit next to each other? 🥺✨
Cater Diamond:
Cater enjoyed the action so much that he let his hair grow out a little bit longer, just to give you more to play with. He was disappointed when you didn’t take advantage of how purposely close he sat with you, playing with his own hair to bring your attention to it hoping you’ll start giving him the attention he wants. He thinks you’re super cute when you get lovey dovey like that and he’d eat it up, hating how much it can improve his day from one simple action.
Floyd Leech:
Be wary, as Floyd does get a little nippy depending on the mood he’s in. He doesn’t mind you playing with his hair but there isn’t as much to really play with aside from the long strand in front, and your hand in front of his face sparked some animalistic instincts in him. If he wants to take a nap he’ll throw himself in your lap, telling you to just play with his hair while he sleeps which he considered an equal exchange for taking up the new few hours of your free-time.
Silver:
Silver only stopped you when he could feel himself nodding off, your fingers raking through his hair a feeling that was far too relaxing for a man who already struggled to keep his eyes open. He didn’t dislike the show of affection, in fact it was probably one of the most intimate things someone had ever done for him, but he preferred it happening when it was just the two of you; he wanted to relax and truly be able to enjoy the moment with you.

Can you do sumn with vernon with a pretty girl like drop dead pretty she’s really shy, quiet and introverted like you can do wtv
Tumblr media Tumblr media
content: crush!vernon, kinda simp!vernon, mutual crush, talking stage turned into official relationship, afab reader, fluff, confession, etc.
wc: 1166
a/n: i hope u enjoy what i came up with c:
masterlist
vernon just couldn't help himself whenever you were around, you were simply too pretty a sight for him to behold; always making him fumble and act an idiot.
vernon wasnt really one to put too much weight on appearance, always considering what's on the inside to be far more important, but you had just drawn him in. you were the prettiest thing he had ever seen, and vernon knew were fully unaware of your beauty, which only added even more to your charm.
your shy demeanor and cute blush any time he stumbled over his words made the embarrassment worth it. he would make a joke of himself in front of the entire nation if it meant seeing your shy smile and the way you'd attempt to cover your mouth as you giggled at him.
the two of you weren't dating, per say, but vernon liked to think you were on your way there. with his inability to function around you and your introverted demeanor combined, it was a bit difficult for either of you to ask the other out, but vernon was very much enjoying the 'will they, wont they' the two of you had going on.
he knew you liked him, which was something he prided himself on greatly, always showing off to the members (and consequently turning into putty the moment you walked in).
"yeah, when are you gonna ask her out, nonnie?", had asked seungkwan one day during practice.
the members had been taking breaks on and off throughout the day, with that day being pretty much free aside from dance practice. during one of the breaks, you had come up, as vernon had decided to invite you over to impress you so that you could lend him some company during his work day. the members had taken this opportunity to berate him about your current relationship status.
"oh, you're not dating? huh. mind if i-",
"don't finish that sentence," vernon interrupted mingyu before he could even picture a reality in which you even so much as looked mingyu's way.
"fesity. you really like her, huh? she is super pretty," joined in jeonghan, instigating further conversation.
"yeah ... how'd you get her attention?", now was chan's turn. it was like they were taking turns to drive him as insane as possible while he waited for your arrival.
"can you guys shut up? i'm going to ask her out. she's just a little shy, i wanna show her that i really like her before making things official," he rebutted.
"well, you should hurry up. pretty girls like that are never single for too long; shy or not," added seungcheol.
before vernon could respond by telling him the intricacies of your exclusive relationship friendship, you suddenly walked in, calling vernon's name from the entrance and consequently scrunching up your nose in embarrassment at having accidentally invoked every member's attention upon entering.
vernon couldn't help but coo at you from where he was standing, adoring how shy you could be sometimes. you were entirely unaware of the fact that a few of his members had just been inquiring if they had a chance with you just before your arrival.
despite having been around the members a few times (with your friendship with vernon being quite obviously just a phase of denial on both of your parts), you were still a bit shy around them. you knew that they knew you liked vernon, and you knew that they knew vernon liked you. it was all a childish game of chicken as the two of you waited for the other to make things official.
even through what you believed to be an awkward moment, one look at vernon's soft smile and you pushed that awkwardness aside and walked towards him, offering him a hug before being stolen away by a few of the other members for a greeting hug of their own. vernon simply grumbled beside you, knowing they were all friendly with you, but still wanting you all to himself.
when you finished, he childishly grabbed onto your hand, now holding it in his as a sign of possessiveness (a behavior vernon had never expressed up until meeting you). the two of you inadvertently blushed and looked away from each other, making seungkwan jokingly gag while you weren't looking.
"okay, get him out of here. you two disgust me," seungkwan practically pushed the two of you towards the exit, "don't chicken out this time! ask her out, you coward!", he finished before slamming the door on the two of you, throwing a panicked vernon a satisfied smile.
your eyes had widened as you looked back at vernon, a surprised smile making its way to your face, "'ask me out'?", you asked him.
"oh, uh, yeah ... about that-"
"mhm?"
he cleared his throat and finally made eye contact with you, realizing you were instigating him just to tease him. this eased the nerves he felt at you now knowing that he liked you (which was something he kind of already assumed you knew), though it did not prevent the endless string of words that left his mouth moments later.
"hey! don't make fun of me. i really like you, okay? of course i'm nervous. i've been nervous, which is why i've chickened out of asking you out every single time", his eyes trailed off you due to his nerves, "and you're- you're just so fucking pretty, every time you look at me i lose my train of thought. i have no idea how im even saying this to you right now. or why i cant seem to shut up, fuck. okay, fuck. what i meant to say is: will you please go out with me? officially? as, you know ... boyfriend and girlfriend?", he finished, finally looking at you again, though now with wide eyes and almost breathless.
you matched his appearance with your own breathlessness and shocked expression, but this did not last long, as you seemed to give yourself a short pep talk in your head before nodding to yourself and pulling him towards you, stealing a kiss from him.
he froze completely for a few moments before finally taking action and giving in, kissing you in a way sweeter way than his brain was begging him to (he did not want to scare you away by kissing you in the way he really wanted to).
once more, the two of you were too shy to make eye contact at first, simply blushing and holding onto each other in the most timid way possible.
vernon broke the silence first, "im really hoping that's a yes ..?"
you giggled back, "yes, vernon. i'd love that."
with a boyish fist bump thrown towards the sky, vernon let out a quiet 'fuck yeah!' before holding onto your hand and walking you out of the building, finally leading you to your first outing as an official couple, already planning your first date in his head.

cw: gn reader, kind of short, not proofread cause I got a concert :P
Tumblr media
Liu Kang...
loves quality time. If he could, he'd spend ALL his time with you. Unfortunately, with godhood, that's not the case. But that's why quality time is so important to him. As long as he gets at least 20 minutes a day to stare at your face, talk about your day, play with your hair a bit, he's happy.
Bi-Han...
enjoys words of affirmation. He is touch starved, so his affection comes in the form of words. He loves telling just exactly what he loves about you, which is nothing short of everything. There are times where mid-conversation he'll tell you just how stunning you look that day, he can't help it.
Kuai Liang...
adores physical touch, he will always find a way to be touching you. He doesn't like PDA, so he will try to be lowkey about it, like just intertwining your pinky with his, being so close your shoulders touch, all that. But when you two are together, just the two of you, he's all over you. He's got his arm around your shoulders almost permanently.
Johnny Cage...
spoils you. He loves to give you gifts, at least once a day. Such is the life of a celebrity. It can be anything, really. His favorite, though, is having dinner with you. He'll take you to those real fancy places, and buy you whatever you want. Even if the price isn't on the menu. He also loves physical touch. He loves showing you off, he will always hold your hand in public. Only time you can free your hand from his is if it's realllyyy hot. But he always has to be touching you. Even in his sleep.
Kenshi Takahashi...
also loves physical touch. I mean, he is the blind swordsman. He specifically loves it when you guide him, with his hand on your shoulder. It makes you feel very present, especially with the complete loss of his sight. And that's something he cherishes.
Kung Lao...
is all over you. Especially since he couldn't cop until he met you, physical touch is a highlight. He especially loves hugging you, it makes his worries dissipate. Doesn't matter if it's in public, or when you two are alone, he likes knowing you're his. And he loves to show you off, especially.
Raiden...
loves acts of service. As much as your his, he's also yours. And he loves knowing what he can do for you. As long as he can reduce the load of stress for you, he's happy. He'll change your sheets the minute your out of bed, wash the dishes, anything he thinks will brighten your day.
Zeffeero...
also enjoys acts of service. It's something he can do for you and know you'll appreciate. He'll make sure the house is clean, maybe he'll draw a bath for you. And he always pays attention to every little thing you do. What your favorite (horrible) Johnny Cage movie is, the exact temperature of your bath, etc.
Tomas Vrbada...
enjoys quality time. He spends as much time as he can with you, especially outside of Lin Kuei duties. He'll take you out on dates, go dancing with you, anything to see that pretty little face of yours more often. By far, one of his favorite past-times is stargazing. He also enjoys physical touch, just being able to hold you is enough to keep him going for days. It really solidifies your relationship to him.
Baraka...
prefers words of affirmation. Not only are they something he needs to hear, but he enjoys telling you how lucky he is to have you, and he especially loves it when the words are reciprocated. He is very conscious of his disease, and so as long as he knows you love him, he's happy as can be.
Geras...
prefers acts of service & quality time. I mean, he is literally the servant of time itself. He will do everything he knows you hate doing, the dishes, changing your sheets, anything. You don't even have to ask. And he loves spending his free time with you, reading, or even just observing.
Syzoth...
loves words of affirmation & physical touch. Physical touch affirms that you love him especially, he loves when you two are just laying together, enjoy each others presence. But he will also shower you in compliments, hold your hand and rub the back of it with his thumb, tell you just how much he loves you, and pull you in for a kiss.
Havik...
enjoys quality time. As long as he gets you to himself, you can almost see his features form a smile. He loves to have you sit in his lap, just playing with your hair, while you read a book. But he also enjoys simply sleeping with you. He favors naps, and will always drag you off with him.
General Shao...
also loves physical touch. It's something that reassures you that you're his and only his. PDA is off the table, especially with his position, but when you two are alone, he's almost like a whole different man. He loves holding you in his arms and resting his head on your shoulder. And he especially loves it when you rub the back of his hands with your thumbs.
Shang Tsung...
loves giving you all sorts of prizes and gifts. He brings you some genuine things (for once), and sometimes he'll even bring you jewelry. Normally it will be silver, since he can find nothing but that within his price range, but sometimes the pieces he brings you are decorated with beautiful gems, which also happen to be genuine! He gets no greater pleasure then seeing your face light up when he gifts you something.
Reiko...
also enjoys acts of service & quality time. Getting you all to himself when things are so, so chaotic is one of the more peaceful things in life. It feeds his dream of a tranquil life, something he wishes to have with you one day. Doing the mundane, finishing up chores you hate doing, just being able to be by your side and watch you do whatever.

Anyways, as always, I hope ya'll enjoy my chaos and let me know what you think!
♡ Part One Here
♡ Part Three Here
Tumblr media
It’s difficult to load the dishwasher when your head’s still fuzzy from the events of the last few minutes. All of this over a dress? A dress you hadn’t put the faintest thought into when you first put it on. Naturally you thought it was cute, you wouldn’t have bought it otherwise, but sexy? That was the last thing crossing your mind when you picked this sundress off the rack. It’d crossed Yeosang’s though, enough to make him jealous. And his friends…had they really been looking at you? 
Leaning down to close the dishwasher, your thighs squeeze together a bit bringing back the tingling between your legs. If his friends were looking or not, you aren’t particularly mad at the consequences you had to face for it. Riding your fiance’s thigh in your hallway within earshot of his closest friends made you feel absolutely filthy and you'd 10/10 do it again. You love how determined Yeosang was to make it known to all of you that you belong to him. That he can reduce you to a whimpering, dripping mess wherever and whenever he wishes. 
You catch yourself staring into space, your thighs slippery once more with your arousal. “Get it together” you say to yourself, clicking a few buttons to turn the dishwasher on. You still have to meet Yeosang in the living room—for whatever reason—and you can’t go like this. Readjusting your sundress to cover as much skin as possible, you fill your brain with the least sexy thoughts you can to flush out the horniness. By the time you make your way out to the living room, memories of volunteering at a nursing home have made you sufficiently turned off.
You let out a sigh of relief as you position yourself on the arm of the chair Yeosang’s seated in. Hongjoong, Seonghwa, and Wooyoung are scattered across the remaining couch and chair, their attention seemingly dedicated to the random Youtube video playing on the flat screen.
“What are you guys watching?” you ask, laying your arm around Yeosang’s shoulders and petting his cheek. The side eye from the guys is instant. They couldn’t make it more obvious that they’re trying not to acknowledge you if they tried.
Yeosang slips an arm around your waist, smiling up at you, “Mmm, nothing…yet.”
“Okaaay, well, what are you gonna watch?” you ask, hoping to push through the awkwardness.
“Come here. I’ll show you” Yeosang says, guiding you onto his lap so that your back rests against his chest. There’s that side eye from the guys again but you now recognize it for what it is. It isn’t from awkwardness, it’s from…anticipation?
Trailing his fingers down the side of your neck, Yeosang tilts your head back to whisper into your ear, “They heard you, you know that right?” He spreads his legs, opening yours along with them, “Heard you grinding that pretty little cunt on my leg. Fuck, it is so pretty, isn’t it?”
“Yeo—” you gasp, attempting to snap your legs closed, but he stops you, tucking his knees inside yours so that you have no choice other than to sit here exposed. Magically whatever’s on the TV doesn’t matter anymore. Every set of eyes in the room is fixed on you and the gorgeous space between your legs. You wiggle in Yeosang’s lap, attempting to get away but the muscular arm locked around your waist isn’t budging. “Yeo, baby, what is this?”
Yeosang plants kisses behind your ear, his hand reaching around to fully grip your neck. He squeezes your neck, not too hard but just enough to make you gasp for air, your body arching from how good the pressure feels. You press harder into his lap and his cock presses right back, twitching against the plush of your ass.
“What is this?” he teases, mimicking your voice, “Consequences. You can’t just go around teasing our guests. That’s not very nice is it?”
The hand by your waist gathers the front of your dress, yanking it up so that your soft, cute belly pops out. A smile tugs at Wooyoung’s lips, the bulge forming in his pants becoming more and more obvious by the second.
“I…I didn’t mean to” you swear, your face the picture of innocence.
But your body betrays you. Yeosang dips his fingers down to stroke your entrance and they’re wet before he can even touch you. “My dirty little girl, dripping already. You want me to punish you, don’t you?” They sink into you and your walls eagerly suck them in, clenching as he lazily fingers your core.
“No, I’m sorry. So sorry, so…” you mewl, your voice trailing off into angelic moans.
He adds another finger and your body weakens, your head threatening to fall back but Yeosang won’t let it. He won’t let you ignore how badly the others want you. You have to see it this time. You have to see Hongjoong biting his nails, thinking of all the ways he’d fuck you if you were his. And Seonghwa almost squirming in his seat, unable to find a comfortable position to conceal how hard you’ve gotten him. 
“Are you really sorry, baby girl?” Yeosang asks, pretending to be sympathetic to your struggle. You manage a weak “yes” that’s cute but could be better. “Say ‘Yes, daddy’” he instructs, choking you a little harder, his fingers curling into your gspot as he fucks you with them as hard as he can.
You grab onto the arms of the chair, your eyes wide and shimmering, “Yes, daddy. I’m, ah…I’m sorry. I’m, fuck, I’m so sorry.”
It takes minimal effort now for Yeosang to keep your legs open. You spread them willingly for all the men to see, surrendering to the pleasure of being watched so intently by the four of them. It has you so wet that you’re leaking down to your fiance’s wrists, the splashing of your juices audible over the TV.
“Show daddy how sorry you are” Yeosang says, depriving you of his fingers. They leave your core with a pop that’s music to their ears. Without them there your pussy still clenches, your clit twitching and begging for attention. Yeosang lifts you in his lap ever so slightly, unzipping his pants to free his cock. He lowers you down onto it inch by inch, teasing you with that delicious stretch until your mouth’s watering.
He fits perfectly inside of you, the way he always has. Your walls cling to him so desperately that you can feel the blood rushing through every vein traveling down his length. It has the perfect curve to it, intensifying that pressure behind your belly. You want friction.  You want it so badly that you’re already rocking in his lap. Behind you Yeosang lets out low, controlled grunts, raising his hips to bottom out.
This self control thing is like torture when you’re this cute and needy but he has to keep it together. He grabs you by the waist, keeping you both as still as he can while leaving you whining for more. You glance back at him, pouty and sad, with a face that it tears him apart to deny.
“Aww, I know, baby” he coos, kissing you on the cheek, “You want daddy to fuck you but I need you to do something else first.”
“Mmm, like what?” you ask, sneaking in a bit of movement that he let’s slide just this once.
Yeosang brushes his fingers across your lips and they fall open for him like they just know. “I know they’re all wondering what my pretty girl’s mouth can do,” he whispers, easing his fingers between your lips and coating your tongue in your own arousal. “You gonna open up and show them for me?” 
“Mmhmm” you hum, wide eyed, suckling and drooling around them.
Pleased by your obedience, Yeosang’s gaze drifts around the room, “Who do you want first?”
You take your time, pretending that you don’t already know who you want, “Woo, please.” This entire time Woo’s been glowing with admiration for you and you long for more of it.
Woo approaches you casually, the same as he would any other time. There’s that familiar sense of playfulness you adore so much about him but also something darker, more intense. Yeosang pulls his drenched fingers from your mouth and Woo, cradling your chin in his palm, replaces them with his tongue. Woo’s kisses are sloppier than Yeosangs, the excitement of the moment too much to contain, but you enjoy it as much as you imagined you would.
When he pulls away to see your lips glistening, your mouth hanging wide open for him, he swears he’s dreaming. Yeosang watches attentively as Woo undoes his pants, slipping his cock between your hollowed cheeks. It’s impossible, with how tightly you’re wrapped around his cock, for you not to feel your fiance pulsing inside of you at this display.
Woo clasps his hands behind your head, snaking his fingers in your hair, “Fuck, you feel amazing. I see why he wants to marry you.” You look up at him, batting your eyelashes, and relax your throat to take him deeper. Woo makes small thrusts, the suction between your cheeks milking him of every drop of precum. 
“Look at you, taking that cock so well. Good girl” Yeosang beams, pulling down the front of your dress to cup your breasts.
There’s a sense of relief as he massages your neglected tits, shaping them under his touch. His thumbs curve around the sides, coming together with his pointer fingers to pinch your sensitive nipples. You make a muffled squeaking noise when he does, urging him to pinch them harder.
At the same time, Woo’s hips are picking up speed, the head of his cock knocking at the back of your throat. Your tongue wiggles on the underside of his length, dipping left and right to explore the finer details of his cock. Your brain goes fuzzy again, your body overstimulated by being stretched to your limits at both ends.
“Aah, shit, so fucking perfect” Woo hisses, enjoying the view of your tits bouncing with each thrust. “You know how long I’ve wanted to do this to you, baby? Hmm?”
Your mouth’s too full to answer and even if it weren’t you couldn’t string a sentence together to save your life. You’re nothing but an incoherent, moaning mess of a girl, on the edge of coming from being used like a toy.
“Oh my god, what’s this? Don’t tell me you’re about to come” Yeosang taunts, his right hand venturing down to stroke your clit.
Woo smiles down at you, dragging his cock out to paint your lips in his arousal,“Yeo, you’re being cruel. Look at this pretty thing. All fucked out and she hasn’t even been fucked yet. Let her come.” 
Yeosang lays his fingers flat on your clit, rubbing it as fast as his wrists will let him. Woo shoves his length back into your mouth, forcing you to take him down to the base. Your body’s on fire in the best way, every sense is heightened to the point that it’s making the room spin.
“Go ahead, baby, do it” Yeosang says, easing down lower in the chair, “Squirt all over daddy’s cock. Show everyone how much my girl’s pussy loves me.”
Those words from your fiance are enough to break you. You come hard down his length, creaming and leaking, ruining his pants. “Look at you, mmph, fuck” Woo moans, his breaths growing quick and short. The tension in him snaps and he’s squirting come down the walls of your throat. You swallow it just as mindlessly as you bounce in Yeosang’s lap, ignoring earlier implications not to do so.
Your fiance knows he should stop you, stick to his own rules, but he’s been ready to come since he first felt you and he’s too close now to stop it. He’s already hitting his high, pumping you full of his come  just as the last few drops of Woo’s dribbles down your chin.
The room’s chaotic for a short time, wonderful and utterly feral all at once, and then a serene silence. You fall back into Yeosang’s arms, your lids heavy and your lips a little puffy. Woo gives you a grateful peck on the lips, kissing down your neck…your shoulder…your arm.
“Thank you” he says, kissing the back of your hand. Your ability to talk remains limited but you’re able to give him a smile that lets him know you enjoyed it too. Yeosang turns you in his lap, draping your legs over the arm of the chair so that your head rests on his shoulder. Woo hands him a throw blanket and he covers you in it, making sure you’re nice and cozy.
“Are you okay, my love?” Yeosang asks, inspecting you while he awaits your answer.
You cuddle up to him, your eyes falling closed, “Mmhmm, I’m okay.”
“I’m happy to hear that. Now let’s get you some water and a snack. Let you rest a bit and then…”
Your eyes shoot open and you perk up, “And then…what?”
“And then,” he sighs, booping you on the nose like a kitten, “You finish your punishment. You’re still a little disobedient but we’ll fix that, won’t we?”

can i get headcanons for hajime, nagi, shuichi, and koki with a virgin s/o during their first time? like how the boys would react and kinks and comfort for a nervous s/o thnakss!! -👽anon
Hajime Hinata, Nagito Komaeda, Shuichi Saihara, Kokichi Ouma x Nervous!Virgin!S/O First Time Headcanons
Tumblr media
Protags and Antags!! EEEEEE WE LUB THEM!!
Enjoy!!
TW// Teasing, Degradation, NSFW, Choking, Hairpulling, Spanking
Tumblr media
Shuichi Saihara
♡ Super nervous! 
♡ Knowing him, it would probably be his first time too and he’s spooked as hell so if you are too, he understands. 
♡ He starts by awkwardly kissing you because that’s as far as he’s ever gotten with his partner. After a few minutes, he gets the hang of it. 
♡ Lol I’ve said this about Leon before but Shuichi would probably also give great hugs and would be such a good cuddler. NBVGHJNBGVB Grant George’s casting type is cuddly boys LMFAO
♡ Probably very vanilla but he’s open to most things.
♡ I think Shuichi would probably be a switch with a bottomy lean. He just wants to do what makes you happy. 
♡ Shuichi is kind of basic in terms of positions. He only really cares to do missionary but the way that he does it is so loving and gentle. He holds you underneath him and hides his face in your neck. Like hugging with him on top of you so closely.
♡ After a few times together Shuichi really warms up to you and loses most of his anxieties.
♡ He’s a very hesitant top, but he’s willing. Shuichi doesn’t really know what to do as a top so he usually just asks what you want. He’s a service top!! We love him :3
Tumblr media
Kokichi Ouma
♡ TEASING LITTLE BASTARD!!!
♡ Whether it’s your first time or your hundredth time, he’s constantly teasing you, physically or otherwise. Mostly about how nervous you are. 
♡ Now and then he would find some way to comfort you, but honestly, it wouldn’t last long. It’s usually something basic like gently stroking your face or a kiss on the forehead, before going right back to teasing you. 
♡ Unlike Shuichi, Kokichi claims that he has a very high body count (COUGH COUGH BULLSHIT) but you don’t know if you believe him. You didn’t believe him at all until he showed you how experienced he was. 
♡ Kokichi looooves to bite. Like choking and spanking are both fine, but above anything else, biting is his favorite. 
♡ He’s a major verse with no preference, but when he is bottoming… Did someone say brat? Despite him being a switch, Kokichi is always in control. 
♡ Kokichi uses toys on his partner a lot. Most commonly vibrators to tease you with but he’s open to most things.
♡ Also very into bondage. He loved the feeling of having control and knowing that he could do anything to you, with consent of course. 
Tumblr media
Nagito Komaeda
♡ Overjoyed! Just crippling shock and happiness.
♡ Nagito underestimated how much you care about him. He always figured that he wasn’t good enough for his partner, being the ultimate lucky student amongst so many ultimates. You asking him made him feel so much more secure in your relationship.
♡ Nagi likes praising you while you degrade him. If you’re too nervous to dirty talk though, he teases you for it. Thinking aloud that an ultimate such as yourself should be more than capable of talking down to trash like him. He’s just teasing though and he certainly wouldn’t try to make you feel bad for it.
♡ In most cases though, he thinks it’s cute how nervous you get and he won’t mind making that clear to you. Imagine being so nervous in the middle of it all and having him whisper to you. 
♡ “Would you look at me, my hope?” Your eyes stayed clenched for only a moment, then shyly you glanced up at him. “How… Precious… Why so shy, my princess?” *Cue pussy backflip*
♡ Loves when his hair is pulled!! Especially when he’s giving oral or when he’s about to cum. It just makes it all the more satisfying to him. 
♡ Cuddles and praises you as aftercare always. No matter how many times you’ve done it.
Tumblr media
Hajime Hinata
♡ Surprised but happy when you asked. Hajime had certainly thought about it before but was still shocked that you actually wanted to have sex with him, and even more so that a perfect girl like you had never done it before. 
♡ This puts a lot more pressure on him to make it pleasurable for you. It was your first time so he wanted to make it perfect.
♡ Hajime put tons of effort into making sure you were enjoying yourself. Beforehand, he wanted to talk about what you liked and didn’t. The last thing he wanted was to overstep boundaries, but man was he embarrassed to talk about them too. Still, he muscled through it on your behalf!
♡ Hajime seems like the type that would put your enjoyment before his own but he would be lying if he said he didn’t love receiving oral!! He doesn’t mind giving either but he is a man who loves his dick sucked (I’m twelve sorry.)
♡ His favorite positions are 69 and cowgirl. He’s the type who just adores it when you put all of your weight on him. He thinks it’s the hottest thing ever. Any position is good to him, but being ridden>
♡ Haji doesn’t strike me as the vocal type but when he does make noise, it’s a lot of grunting and gasping. His voice would grow deep and husky until his voice breaks out into a full-on growl.
♡ Always has his hands somewhere on you. Holding your waist, your hands, squeezing your chest, fingering you. He loves all of it, just touching you is perfect to him.
♡ Love youuu~

Terms of Endearment - Brothers and Dateables
Lucifer: My love, my dear
Lucifer tends to use the more traditional pet names for his partner when he does use them, which isn’t very often. He will call you my love or my dear when he’s particularly pleased or feeling sentimental, and he’s also known to use them when you’re upset. 
Mammon: My human, my baby/babe
Mammon regularly uses nicknames for his partner that begin with my like my human or my babe/baby. He really just like anything that sounds possessive because it shows everyone how you belong to him. They’re not super sappy names though because he has his tough reputation to live up to. 
Levi: Henry, true friend, normie
Levi uses a lot nicknames because there’s something super embarrassing and vulnerable about using your actual name. He uses casual nicknames, almost joking ones, like normie or Henry. He likes hearing you laugh when he uses them but he blushes like crazy if you ever use on one him. 
Satan: Kitten, darling, Watson
Satan is all about the romantic nicknames; typically he will use something like darling or kitten, especially when he is in a good mood. However, he will sometimes use Watson when he is in one of his chaotic or fun moods. Watson may be his favorite honestly because it just shows how great of a team you are. 
Asmo: Hun, darling, beautiful/gorgeous, sweetie, anything goes.
We all that Asmo uses nonstop pet names. It’s second nature to him to call you anything cute that he can think of: hun, sweetie, darling, gorgeous. He’ll even make up random little nonsense names like ‘my sugar free cupcake’ because he loves to see how far he can take it before you call him out on how ridiculous he’s being. 
Beel: Honey, sweetheart
Beel is a very simple guy. He’s not going to use flowery nicknames or use them all the time.Typically, he’s going to use your name or maybe a shortened version of it, but if you catch him in a particularly soft mood or if he’s trying to comfort you, he might call you honey or sweetheart. 
Belphie: Idiot, princess/prince
Belphie, like Beel, doesn’t use nicknames a lot but he does it more than his twin. Belphie will call you idiot like a term of endearment and then call you princess/prince and make it sound like an insult. Honestly, he just enjoys riling you up. If he’s actually trying to be nice, he will call you his dream. 
Diavolo: My queen/king, actual name
Diavolo looooves nicknames. He didn’t grow up with them or any friends to use them on so he tries out all different kinds with you at first, figuring out what you both liked best. He loves to call you dearest (since you’re the person he cares about most) and once you’re in a serious relationship, he likes to call you his king/queen. Once in a while he’ll throw out something like “pookie” because he heard someone else say it and it always leads to a good laugh. 
Barbatos: My lady, actual name
Barbatos follows a strict set of rules and has perfect manners which means he’s not known for using nicknames. He thinks even using someone’s first name can be incredibly intimate based on his station but, deep down, Barbatos is incredibly soft, especially for MC. When they are alone, he’ll regularly call them ‘love’ or ‘my heart’. He uses these because he claims you are the person who brought love into the heart he forgot he had. 
Solomon: My better half, something based on an inside joke
Solomon enjoys using nicknames but almost all of them are a joke. He typically uses embarrassing moments or inside jokes to come up with them and they change out regularly. It wouldn’t be weird for him to call you something like ‘spilled milk’ or ‘my croissant’. But, during serious moments or when he’s introducing you to someone, Solomon likes to call you his better half because that’s exactly what he thinks you are. 
Simeon: lamb/little lamb, sunshine
Simeon goes 50/50 with pet names. Like Barbatos and Beel, he most enjoys using them in private but he’s certainly not ashamed to use them in front of people if he thinks the moment calls for it. He most commonly calls you lamb or little lamb and it’s always said so fondly that it makes up for any condenscion you might feel. He will also call you sunshine because he claims you not only light up the Devildom but also his life.

₊˚♡˚₊ The Akatsuki and their jealousy ₊˚♡˚₊
Tags: GN Reader, GN flirt, general jealousy and implied murder shenanigans.
Tumblr media
Tobi essentially zeroes in the instant someone else starts laughing a little too hard at your jokes. Uhm, hello? You're funny, but you're not that funny. In fact, he's pretty sure he's the only person that busts a gut laughing when you crack your silly little one-liners or puns. It's cute to him, nobody else has any business making a play by acting all giggly and doe-eyed. He doesn't need to be violent about it - and really, why would he be? Tobi's just as happy to lean in - uncomfortably close - and then loudly declare that they have something stuck in their teeth! And it's super noticeable! So's their breath! It's not rude, he's just being helpful! He can smell their lunch through his mask! And it's rank! How embarrassing! Haha! They really should go brush their teeth, huh! Go away! Far, far, away!
Hidan is, in fact, very liable to wind up jealous over stupid little things that always result in becoming a pain in the ass for you to defuse when he inevitably hops onto his bullshit. You're out trying to enjoy one meal in peace together? That's funny, because the server seemed to put some weird, flirtatious emphasis on hot when they asked how you like your tea, and that's a problem, and that bitch knows it, too. Oh, they wanna know how hot you like it? Alright! There's loads of people on this earth, and they really wanna get stabbed over you? Fuck it! He just sat down, but clearly he's got some shit to do now. Dinner and a show! Why not?! He gets why Kakuzu doesn't tip now, not that he was gonna anyway. Shit service, and thirsty-ass servers. Fucking ridiculous.
Tumblr media
Deidara is the first to notice when someone gets too close and cosy with you. Does it bug him immediately? No. His reaction, however, depends entirely on yours. Do you notice that they're smiling with way too much teeth when they playfully punched your arm? No? Alright. He can let that slide. It's when they deliberately divert your attention from him to themselves that he starts getting annoyed. He's not at all above pointing out tacky behaviour, petty king, and even if it embarrasses you a little, it is highly satisfying for him to see the flirt's face drop into something sour or burn up from the embarrassment. It's even better if you snicker along with him.
Kakuzu's only problem with someone chatting your ear off and really gushing over whatever comes out of your mouth is the fact that they're boosting your ego and he has to deal with it later. Not because the offending flirt boosted your ego, he doesn't give a damn about that, but he's now going to hear the same things you just told them about later when he's already just heard it - and he sincerely doesn't care to hear it again. He doesn't want to act interested, and yet he's going to be faced with either being called a dick, or being forced to feign something to avoid bickering about it after the fact. God dammit.
Kisame doesn't mind seeing someone try their damndest to flirt with you. He trusts you, and he's very happy to sit back while you turn them down- or, if he's lucky, watch while the flirt makes an idiot of themselves trying too hard to clue you in and get your attention. It's funny - he's laughing, and he isn't even trying to hide it. If he's in a cheeky mood, he'll even stir the pot, because he has gremlin tendencies and his humour is catered exclusively to himself. Yeah, he'll egg them on in little ways, until they're feeling nice and confident. Then, while he isn't really a PDA kind of guy, he'll drape a brawny arm over your shoulders, plonk a cheek atop your head and drawl something to the effect of, 'You know what? You do look great in that outfit. It'll look better on the floor later. Ready to go?' Kisame likes finding his own fun like this. The flirts always flap their lips like gasping fish when he hits 'em with that bit, and it tickles his brain just right.
Itachi is generally ambivalent. You have attractive qualities, he knows this, and he's well acquainted with the consequence of having said attractive qualities. As long as you're fine with it and nobody's pushing any obvious boundaries, he's fine with it too. Jealousy isn't an issue at all with Itachi. It only becomes one if you end up uncomfortable and the flirt doesn't pick up on that fact. In that case? He's glad to leave with you, if you don't feel like handling it. If you don't want to leave, or leaving isn't an option? Well, he can use his words. Or, if they've ruffled your feathers enough to annoy him, there are many benefits to being a genjutsu master. Oh, noooo, suddenly all eyes are on the flirt and the judgmental looks are intense and highly disarming. Or, uh oh! There's definitely a fire that just broke out, and they're the only one panicking about it! Oh wow, they left in a hurry. What a shame. They must've drank a little too much, or something like that.
Sasori, simply put, could not possibly care less if you paid him. Possibly aggravated by the fact that someone's breathing air in his direction while he's minding his business with you, someone he can actually tolerate. Yeah, he fully expects you to handle that. He's gained a knack for zoning minor annoyances out- until those minor annoyances become general annoyances. It's only when the offending flirt's voice becomes grating - which, really, doesn't take long at all before he bothers intervening if you haven't already shooed them away yourself. If a terse 'shut up' or 'begone' doesn't dissuade the persistent little gnat, he has poison and many fun, discrete vehicles with which to deliver it. It is purely for the sake of peace and quiet. Does he care when they drop like a sack of rocks, seizing and foaming at the mouth? Not particularly. Do as he does, and zone it out. Don't look at it (derogatory), you'll only encourage it to make more of a scene.

may i request vil, idia, azul and malleus with a reader (reader is their s/o) that is yuu but decided to stay in twisted wonderland and in their second year at nrc they participated in the vdc singing bc, surprise, they have an amazing voice! (i have this thought that maybe they were also in the pop music club with kalim, cater and lillia)
after the vdc many companies contacted them and after graduating at nrc they became a really popular artist
basically the boys reaction to their s/o singing at the vdc and then becoming famous, how would they react and how would they support them
thanks for the request!! sorry i took some time with it! hope you enjoy :)
Vil
Vil probably knew you were a decent singer considering you were in the pop music club
But you’ve never really sang in front of him, so your performance at the VDC definitely takes him by surprise (in a good way)
He’s super happy for you when you start getting offers from recording labels and such
Although he would’ve helped you out with his own contacts in the industry if you’d wanted
He loves that you can relate to each other even more than before
Now you understand what it’s like to be a celebrity as well, both the good and bad, bringing you two closer together
He’s super proud of you and not afraid to show it, hyping you up on all his socials and surprising you with flowers after your concert performances
He’s also very protective of you, knowing how mean and judgemental people can be, and he’s not afraid to stand up for you whenever he can
You two are definitely the celebrity power couple that all the fans love and find super cute
Idia
As much as he didn’t want to go to a social event, Idia was willing to attend just to see you perform
He starts malfunctioning as soon as he hears you sing; he can’t believe he’s with someone so talented and amazing
He’s happy for your success and knows how much you deserve it, even though it can be hard for him considering his antisocial inclinations
He absolutely becomes your biggest fan, no exaggeration
He’s the first to buy all of your merch, wears it proudly and puts up posters of you in his bedroom
Idia is a bit insecure about dating someone so famous and talented and beautiful and kind and every other amazing things that you are
So you’ll need to reassure him sometimes that you still love him and that he’s good enough for you
He’s super shy when you talk about him in interviews, but secretly it makes him so happy for you to acknowledge him as your boyfriend
If you want it, he’ll even offer to help you out with things like editing for music videos or building a website for your brand
Will force himself to go to your concerts, as long as he can sit in the vip box alone with Ortho as the two of them cheer you on
Azul
The first time he hears you sing at the VDC, he’s of two minds about it
First and most obvious, he’s excited for this new opportunity for the both of you
Determined to help you get famous (not just so you can help promo his businesses)
Encourages you strongly when you start getting offers from companies
He’s also just very proud of you for how far you’ve made it just by yourself (you refused his resources, much to his dismay)
He does love how hard you work and truly feels you’re one of the only people who match his drive
At the same time
You’re his partner, and it’s hard for him to watch all these people thirst after you, once you become famous lmao
He loves you and it’s a bit difficult to feel like he has to share you with the rest of the world
Lowkey a bit scared that one day you’ll meet another cool celebrity and decide they’re a better match for you than an octopus
He’ll be okay once you reassure him that you’re not going anywhere
Azul supports you every step of the way, still taking time out of his busy schedule to come see you at your shows or making dinner reservations at his own restaurants
Malleus
Lilia would always speak of you being a great singer but Malleus had never actually heard you sing until the VDC
Immediately fell more in love (if that was even possible)
Your voice and demeanour were so captivating, you were truly lovely in that moment (not that you weren’t always in his mind)
He knows you’ll get offers from companies, he’s so sure of your talent and absolutely wants you to get all the recognition you deserve
He’s happy when your music starts to become more and more famous because people are finally seeing you as wonderfully he does
You deserve to be admired, as long as no one gets too close
No matter how famous you are, you’re still his after all - though few rarely test their luck with you, your boyfriend is Malleus Draconia after all
You’re quick to tell them off, anyway
Being busy with Briar Valley, Malleus doesn’t always have time to come see you in concert
But he does when he can, and he’s sure to make his visit extra special
You definitely become a beloved celebrity of Briar Valley, with all the people loving you as the royal consort, but also because of your talent and music

Birthday Gifts
Simon Riley x afab!fem! reader
a/n: In honor of Simon's birthday on the 18th, I give you this 🤭 I also wrote this to Birthday by JP Cooper.
Warnings: sub! Simon, a real sloppy blowjob, riding Simon, pet names, reader is super touchy and sweet with Simon
taglist: @thatonepupkai
Tumblr media
You turned the stove down as the steak in the pan sizzled. You had some music playing while you waited for Simon to come home and couldn't wait to surprise him with a nice steak dinner and some kisses. Not to mention the cute little baby blue satin slip dress lingerie you had on under his hoodie you wore.
It was Simon's birthday, and he had been on base all day since he refused to take the day off even when Price assured him it would be alright. What a stubborn man he was. The good thing is it gave you time to fix up this little surprise you had for your boyfriend and you knew the task force would take good care of your man on his special day.
Simon had a rough life, so you understood why he didn't enjoy reflecting back on it, like celebrating a birthday. You're surprised he even told you when it was. But you were determined to help change his outlook on his birthday, because without it, you wouldn't have him, and he wouldn't have you.
You set the table and lit a few candles with a smile humming along to the music, really wanting to set the mood for the special day.
You headed back to the stove to check the mashed potatoes and that's when you heard the key jiggle in the lock on the back door making you nearly jump with joy.
Simon trudges in with a sigh and you run up to him and throw yourself in his arms before he can even say hi to you.
You run up to him and throw your arms around his neck, placing little kisses all over his face while he regains his balance.
"Hi honey! Happy birthday baby!" You say between kisses.
Simon tries to hide his smile by biting the inside of his cheek but lets a light laugh out while he drops his hands to your hips.
You then grab his hand and lead him into the kitchen with you to show him what you've been cooking.
"C'mon I made you some dinner baby." You say, giddily skipping into the kitchen dragging Simon with you.
Simon looks at the stove and sees your pot of homemade mashed potatoes, pan seared steak, and seasoned green beans waiting to be eaten.
"Oh lovey, you did all this for me?" Simon says, taking note of the beautifully decorated dining table set for you and a little vase of flowers in the middle.
"Of course I did, it's your birthday." You say with a smile. while you dip a spoon into the potatoes and raise it to his lips with a hand underneath it so none of it goes to waste.
"Here try this baby, tell me if it's good." You say, and Simon leans forward to take the spoonful of mashed potatoes into his mouth and he makes an approving grunting noise.
"Mmm, damn love that's really good." He says, licking his lips.
You beam up at him wide eyed at his praise, glad that your surprise is at a good start so far.
"Really? It's not too salty? I don't need anything else?" You ask, ready to fix whatever it is he wants.
"No they're absolutely delicious. They're perfect. Just like you." Simon says, giving a little pinch to your cheek making you giggle.
"Go on and sit down honey, I'll get this all ready for you. I made everything just the way you like it." You say, and Simon doesn't know how to respond. He's never received affection like this before you, and he's not sure how to process it.
He stands there in the kitchen for a second looking at you getting ready to plate the food, deciding on what he should do next, but you smile at him and shoo him out the kitchen.
"Go on! Go sit, I'll be right there." You giggle, excited to spoil him.
Dinner was delicious. It's been so long since Simon or you have had a real home cooked meal like this. You were always too busy to cook from scratch like this and Simon was sick of the cold and bland mess hall food.
You two had spent dinner feeding each other bites off each other's forks, giggling, and bumping your feet against his legs while looking up at him through your eyelashes. You just looked so pretty.
When dinner was over, you had a little treat for him for dessert that you hid in the fridge.
"I have something else for you. Wait right here." You whispered to him before getting up to go to the kitchen.
You giggled as you took the red velvet cupcake out from the fridge and placed a candle in it, trying to mute the sound of the lighter as much as you could to not give away your surprise.
A few seconds later, you walked back into the dining room with the tiny cake on a saucer for him, which made him laugh.
"Happy birthday honey." You say again as you place it in front of him before kissing his cheek and taking your seat next to him.
"Go on, make a wish." You smile at him, and he smiles back.
"I've already got my wish right in front of me." He says and you push his chest with a laugh.
"No c'mon, seriously, make a wish. And you can't tell me what it is or it won't come true." You say, and he rolls his eyes, finally closing them and making a wish before blowing out the candle.
"Yay!" You clap your hands together and lean in to give him a kiss on his cheek, then his lips before you take the candle out of the cupcake and bring it to his lips.
"C'mon try it. It looked so good when I saw it in the store today." You said.
"Oh so you made dinner homemade but not this?" He jokes with a smirk and you act offended.
"Ok now you don't get it at all." You tease as you tug the cake away, and he grabs your wrist.
"No ok I'm sorry baby I'll try it." He says, but as he leans in to bite the cupcake from your hands you shove it into his nose making him grunt.
You erupt into laughter while he sputters with frosting all on his nose and mouth.
"Oh you little fuckin- tease." He says with a laugh, and you lean in to lick the frosting off the tip of his nose.
You're a giggling mess looking at Simon with frosting all on his mouth trying to wipe it off.
"Here, I have a better idea to clean you up." You say quietly, laughter dying down as you kiss him.
You kiss him through the sweet frosting on his lips and he moans. You climb into his lap straddling it while you lick your tongue into his mouth, really getting a taste of the cake you just shoved in his face.
"Mm.. How's the frosting lovey." Simon teases and you giggle.
"Tastes almost as good as you." You respond, deepening the kiss.
When all the frosting is off his lips, you continue making out with Simon as you grind your hips down into his lap making him moan.
He grips your hips and bucks up into you with a whine and you move to nibble on his ear.
You bite and lick at Simon's ear making his breathing get heavier as you whisper into it.
"I have one more surprise for you baby." You whisper, Simon's grip on your hips getting stronger as you continue to grind on him in the dining room chair.
You lean back and grip the hem of his hoodie you're wearing to pull it over your head, revealing your satin baby blue slip lingerie you had bought for tonight.
The lingerie was tiny and allowed your ass to peek out from under it as well as the matching cute little excuse for panties to go with it. The satin clung perfectly to your tits, your hardened nipples poking through it showing Simon how ready you were for him and the satin panties clung to your now dripping pussy.
"Fuck dovey. You look fuckin' stunning." Simon says breathlessly, pushing you back so he can get a look.
"Lemme see these little panties yeah?" He asks, and you life up the slip just enough for him to see the wet patch forming on them.
"Fuckin' 'ell." Simon moans through gritted teeth as he goes to massage your tits next, moving his gaze from your panties to your nipples. He palms at your tits through the satin and goes to suck on your nipples through the fabric.
You both moan and you grab his hair, pushing him deeper into your chest.
"Yeah, just like that baby, it's all for you." You coo at him and continue to grind into him as he sucks your tits through the satin lingerie.
After a few moments, you gently push Simon away and he looks at you with the sweetest, honey colored puppy eyes you've ever seen.
"Aw don't worry honey, We're not done. C'mon, follow me." You climb off Simon's lap and guide him by the hand to the couch and he follows like a lost pup.
"Go on baby sit down, want you to be nice and comfortable yeah?" You say, and Simon obeys, eyes never leaving yours.
He sits down and watches as you maneuver between his legs onto your knees while you run your hands up and down his thighs.
"Wanna make my birthday boy feel good. He deserves it doesn't he?" You ask him and he just gulps in response.
"Aw c'mon sweetie, tell me you deserve it." You demand softly and he relents.
"I- I deserve it." He mumbles out, staring at you with his big, tired, honey colored doe eyes.
"Deserve what?"
"To feel good."
"Good boy." You coo, and he swallows thickly again, your praise sending shocks down his spine straight to his cock.
You unbuckle his belt and pull his throbbing cock out before giving it a few pumps.
Simon hisses and throws his head back while you jerk him off lightly.
"Oh fuck." He murmurs, and you smile.
You lean down to lick from the base of his cock all the way up to his already leaking tip.
Simon was fucking thick and about 8 inches long. He was fucking big and it always made you drool at the mere thought of his pretty cock, let alone having it stuffed in your mouth or pussy.
You finally spit on his cock and take him into your mouth. You slowly push him down as far as you could take him, gagging a little more than halfway down, the contraction making Simon buck his hips.
You then start to speed up, lewd and wet noises coming from your mouth as you suck him off like your life depended on it.
"God, fuck. Such a perfect little mouth." Simon whines as his eyes roll to the back of his head as he bites his fist.
You giggle and start to bob your head up and down, twisting and pumping your fist around the rest of him you couldn't take into your mouth.
"Yeah just like that. Fuck." Simon moans again, watching you take his cock happily down your throat as saliva starts to spill out of your mouth and down your chin, some getting onto your chest and his thighs.
You pop him out of your mouth and lean forward to rest your tits on his thighs while you jerk him off, string of saliva connecting you to his cock.
Thick, wet squelching sounds fill the room as you jerk him off.
"Yeah? you like when I blow you like this? All nice and messy hm?" You coo at him and he nods, head going dumb to where all he can do is nod and babble.
He looked so pretty with his eyebrows furrowed and mouth wide open panting for air. His cheeks were the prettiest shade of pink and you couldn't help but smile at how cute he looked like this.
You take him back in your mouth as you jerk and suck him again, your saliva continuing to drip all over the two of you and spilling over your hand wrapped around his cock. This was probably the sloppiest blowjob you've ever given him and he was in absolute heaven.
"Fuck love I- I'm gonna cum-" Simon babbles out between whimpers.
But no matter how pretty he looked like this, this wasn't how you wanted him to cum.
You stop your movements right before he cums making him whine.
"Wh- why'd you stop?" He looks down at you with the sweetest and saddest eyes like a kicked puppy, and you can't help but sympathize with him.
"Oh I know baby, I know." You coo, rubbing your hands up and down his thighs.
"But I want you to cum inside me. My birthday boy deserves to cum in a nice, tight, wet little pussy hm?" You ask and he nods his head, eyebrows still furrowed.
"That's a good boy." You say with a smile, and stand up, seductively taking off your panties before you straddle him.
Normally you would have teased him a bit, rubbing his cock against your covered pussy, but today was about him and only him. You were gonna make your man feel the best he's ever felt on his special day.
You slowly sink down onto Simon's cock making him throw his head back and let out a choked moan as his hands fly to your hips.
You slowly rock back and forth, getting used to his size before you start properly riding him.
Once you've become accustomed to his size, you lean forward into his ear, resting your hands on his chest as you ride him.
"Yeah you like that? Like when I make you go dumb hm? Must be so tired being a big strong soldier all the time huh, just need to go dumb for a bit and not think don't you baby." You say into his ear and he whimpers in response.
"Yeah that's it, my baby deserves to be well fucked and fed. Especially on his special day hm?" You coo at him as you bounce your ass on his cock, the sounds of skin slapping and your squelching pussy fill the room as you fuck Simon on the couch.
Simon is a dumb fucking mess under you, not able to form a coherent sentence other than whimpers, babbles, and an occasional "fuck" that falls from his lips.
He grips your hips so hard that it hurts, but you love it. He drags his hands up to your waist, bringing the fabric of your slip dress up with his hands so he can watch you ride him. You lean back and place your hands on his knees to really give him a show as you start to bounce on him faster, making sure he sees your pretty body and face as you make him feel good.
"Fuck dovey I- mm fuck you're- hnnn- gonna cum- gonna fucking cum." Simon grunts out and you moan at his words, his cock hitting that perfect spot inside you.
"Go on honey, cum for me, cum inside my little pussy, it's all yours baby." You moan.
Simon tightens his death grip on your hips and subconsciously tries to fuck up into you, but you quickly lean into him again and place your hands on his hips to keep him down and to use as leverage as you ride him so hard you're sure your thighs are gonna be sore for the next week.
You press your tits into Simon's chest and suck on his neck as you feel him twitch inside you. You grab his face and press your forehead to his as you look into his eyes, wanting to watch him as he cums.
"C'mon baby, that's it, take your birthday present honey." You coo in his ear, and that's all it takes.
Simon's eyes roll into the back of his head and his cheeks flush pink as he cums inside you with a choked whine, he bucks his hips up and you feel him throb inside of you, filling you up more than he ever has.
Feeling him throb inside you as he cums triggers your own orgasm and you pulse around his cock, milking him dry.
You moan as you slow your pace, riding him through his orgasm and you through yours.
"Fuck- I love you so much love." Simon says as he kisses you, and you kiss back.
"I love you too honey." You smile against him, hugging and kissing him all over.
"Thank you. I loved my gifts. This one was my favorite though." He says with a smirk, and you giggle.
"You're welcome baby. Glad they were a hit." You say back with a huge smile plastered across your face.
"Of course they were. Couldn't have asked for anything better." He says, big dumb smile also plastered across his flushed face.
"Now, can we finish that cupcake?" He asks, and you laugh.
"Whatever you want, it's your birthday." You say, and Simon leans in for another kiss before picking you up and bringing you back to the table to finish sharing the red velvet cupcake you had given him.
Simon never knew a love like this was possible, and every day it's proven to him through you, not just on his birthday, and he wouldn't have it any other way.

Why You Should Watch Bang Brave Bang Bravern
An essay by Junipei while they wait for they friends to come online so we can watch episode 3. Some spoilers for episode 1-2 I guess
Reason 1 - It be Nefarious
Ok so let me tell you how I came to actually watch this show. I have a friend who does one of those seasonal anime review podcast things and I was basically helping man go through the bottom of the barrel. Things that were either going to be cute for an episode before its gimmick ran into the ground or just straight up trash. I was the emotional support Juni.
So we boot up Bang Brave Bang Bravern knowing only that it's a generic mecha show with a fucked up name and a bromance thrown in for fun. That's what we thought
THAT'S WHAT WE THOUGHT
We thought things were getting interesting when the aliens showed up. Ok it's not just a gritty anime it's a Pacific Rim Top Gun thing, ok, that's more interesting than what we thought, that's fine.
AND THEN BRAVERN SHOWS UP.
AND WE REALISE THIS ISN'T JUST A GRITTY REALISTIC MECHA. IT GOT COLLIDED WITH A FUCKIN SUPER ROBOT SHOW FROM THE 70s.
I have not had my jaw this dropped since episode 1 of Code Geass. We were played like fiddles bro.
So we watch episode 2, wondering where the hell its going to go from there. IT GOES TO-
Reason 2 - Robot Gay Hell
As a person who enjoys human sized people kissing 10ft tall death machines, I have been starved my entire life. I take what I can get.
So imagine my surprise when the show sets up that Bravern is head over heels in love with his pilot Isami. So much so that he refuses to let anyone else get in that cockpit. Wahey!
It has mostly been played for a joke, that's the one single downside. That's not very sustainable. BUT I am very curious to see where it goes. This leads into-
Reason 3 - Something is UP my Dudes
If the carefully planned bait and switch says anything, it's that the show has a lot more planned up it sleeve. And you see that in allmost every scene. Bravern and the one-dimensional aliens creates a massive tonal dissonance with the original part of the show.
You see, the realistic gritty mecha bit is still playing out like a realistic gritty mecha. Our boy Isami gets waterboarded by the CIA for any info he has on Bravern. Things don't magically get better after Bravern saves the main cast, the Earth is going to shit real fast.
So if you think of Bravern and the aliens in the context of the more realistic part of the show, shit is mighty sus. Are you really going to take man's word that he's a hero here to defeat the bad guys?
It could turn darker, it could turn spicy, or it could sustain the show past the "gimmick turns stale real quick" problem anime has these days.
If you've made it this far good job soldier, now get out there and make me some gott damnged robot yaoi. I HAVE STARVED FOR 20 YEARS FOR THIS CONTENT. GIVE IT- GIVE IT OT ME NOW

You should write some hcs or something about living alone with Abby, sorta cannon but not if you get what I mean? On a farm or in a home :3
Living With Abby Hcs
Cw: smut under the warning fluff otherwise 🩷 :p(ignore spelling errors if any (request open)
‿︵‿୨˚̣̣̣͙୧ -୨˚̣̣̣͙୧‿︵‿︵ ‿୨˚̣̣̣͙୧ -୨˚̣̣̣͙୧ ‿ ‿︵‿୨˚̣̣̣͙୧
🩷 Mornings with Abby are always special. She loves waking up early to make you breakfast, bringing you coffee in bed, and sharing quiet moments together before the day starts. She enjoys the simplicity of starting the day with you by her side. However, she always forgets to wash the dishes after breakfast and will in fact leave them in the sink all day💀 she’s super sorry about it but forgets every time 😭
🩷 Abby loves surprising you with impromptu date nights. Whether it’s a homemade candlelit dinner or a spontaneous drive to a scenic spot (with a super cute picnic ahhhhh) she’d definitely wanna keep you entertained and happy :( and can you imagine her coming back from patrol and instantly wanting to take you to some nice patch of grass she found not far out because she’s missed you and wants to have as many nice moments as possible
🩷 Abby coming back from a patrol with trinkets and gifts because she missed you and couldn’t stop thinking about you. She’d come back with jewelry, glasses, charms, stuffed animal, music, etc just to see you smile
🩷 Living together means celebrating holidays ^_^ Whether it’s decorating the house, cooking special meals, or exchanging heartfelt gifts, she’s so ready to go all out. Imagine decorating a ginger bread house with her and she makes a little you and her out of ginger bread😭 she’d be so excited to show you too(shit would be funny af if ur shorter than her lmfao- a lil ginger bread dude next to a really fucking tall one 💀)
🩷Abby fixing anything and everything that’s broken in the house or not up to par with what she thinks you deserve. The oven isn’t working properly? dw she’ll figure it out- oh the door handle broke again she’s right on it- she’d fuck it up and make it worse and then proceed to actually read a manual(she totally knows what she’s doing😐) THEN fix it but she loves you so it’s fine
Warning nsfw
‿︵‿୨˚̣̣̣͙୧ -୨˚̣̣̣͙୧‿︵‿︵ ‿୨˚̣̣̣͙୧ -୨˚̣̣̣͙୧ ‿ ‿︵‿୨˚̣̣̣͙୧ ︵‿୨˚̣̣̣͙୧
🧁 GAH sleepy morning sex with her would be sooo sweet❤️ she’d mumble out little “come on baby”s and hushes while she pushes her fingers into you slowly, listening to you beg for more half asleep. Her hands would be ALLLLL over your thighs afterwards squishing them softly, kissing up and down your neck before falling back asleep :(
🧁Abby has a bad (good-)habit of turning ordinary moments into something much more heated than they need to be😭. While you're cooking together, she can't resist coming up behind you, pressing her body against yours. Her hands slide under your shirt, caressing your stomach and breasts, her lips finding your ear as she whispers little moans into your ears. Before you know it, she has you bent over the kitchen counter, pounding into like shes scared she’ll never get to fuck you again. Girl is DESPERATE to make you happy(cum)
🧁After a particularly stressful patrol, when Abby needs to release all that pent-up tension she’ll take you against the nearest wall, counter, door, shit she’d settle for the floor- her hands gripping your hips tightly as she moves against you. Begging for you to scream her name louder because there’s not a single person for miles and even if there hypothetically were she’d want them to know how good and how deep she’s fucking you anyway.
🧁speaking of stressful patrols and my prior post(god her with a oral fixation) being in the bath with her to calm down after a long day and she sucks on your tits and plays with them with a thigh between your legs. When she gets bored of that she’ll drain the bath water and eat you out, sucking softly while forcing you open despite the overstim and multiple orgasms.
🧁cleaning you up after because you’re painfully exhausted (in a good way) she makes it her priority to have you comfy and close to her before you pass tf out because she still has you fucked up and unable to walk hours later 😭
‿︵‿୨˚̣̣̣͙୧ -୨˚̣̣̣͙୧‿︵‿︵ ‿୨˚̣̣̣͙୧ -୨˚̣̣̣͙୧ ‿ ‿︵‿୨˚̣̣̣͙୧ ︵‿୨˚̣̣̣͙୧
OH THIS IS SO CUTE(the first part not the part where my ovulation is speaking for me-)
(I really appreciate requests- writing is helping with my anxiety rn- short and sweet as always ;D)
