@pocketchina you can’t just leave this good shit in the tags!
This is really comforting to read and I’m going to need to like, write this down a few times out to memorize it because this isn’t something I want to let myself forget
You hated him, you knew you hated him... Yet his pout only made you want to not let him do such a thing... Why.. Why do you care... when you know you don’t like him at all....
“ Why, why do I have to go to the game. Seriously I am not even interested in the sport “ You complain as your girlfriend begged you to go to the volleyball game, rolling your eyes at the standard squeal of the girls could be heard in the hallway. The Miya Twins were walking past the window, your (e/c) eyes lingered on Osamu knowing he hated the attention from the scowl on his face as his brother Atsumu waved and smiled at the girls. Rolling your eyes and turning away just as the brown eyed setter looked your way, completely unaware that he stared at you with a smile as you continued to complain to your friend.
Osamu groaned as his brother stepped into the classroom, following him inside as he walked over towards you. Atsumu gasping as you tossed your (h/c) hair over your shoulder hitting him in the chest, turning as you hear the gasp only to have your eyes wide with the chest in front of your face. Slowly looking up to be met by the brown eyes that all the girls in your class fawn over, “ Uh… Hello “ You stammered out as the male smile at you. “ So I heard you saying you wouldn’t come to cheer me- I mean us on “ Atsumu said, growling softly as his brother smacked him. You nodded, “ I’ve never had the desire to watch it or play it “ Replying with a bored look at the blonde.
Making the normally cool setter stand there looking perplexed, making Osamu laugh behind him. Atsumu huffed looking back at his brother then turned to you, gasping as you had gotten up and started to walk away. “ H-hey, where are you going “ Atsumu called out, you turned with your friend next to you gasping as the star player called out to you so casually. “ Im going to my practice but not that it is any of your business “ You snapped at the male, making many of the girls in the class gasp as well the setter’s eyes widen with Osamu behind him smirking.
Scoffing then walking out of the room with the blonde standing there dumbfounded, he looked back at his brother then to where you left from before looking back to Osamu. “ Don’t look at me, its quite amusing there is one who isn’t part of your fan club “ The silver haired twin said with a teethy grin, making Atsumu growl before running out of the classroom after you. Catching up as you were walking down the stairs to get to your club room, he leaned over the edge looking down at the smile on your lips. “ Hey, how about a game… a dare, if you lose you will have to come to the match “ The blond called out, making you look up at him with a frown.
“ As if you would play fair, I know all about you Atsumu Miya, I know you are a Pathological Flirt. You are so full of yourself that I’m surprised your head fits through the door and last but not least, you might have everyone else around your finger but I give zero cares about a pompous guy such as yourself “ You stated easily, whining as you friend smacked you arm. Looking over at them wondering why they hit you, missing the look of almost glee in the blonde’s eyes as he enjoyed someone being so truthful with him.
He watched you disappear down the steps, gasping as he pulled himself from his daydream of making you admit he was great, Jogging after only to not see you in the hallway. His brown eyes scanned out the window to see a bright smile on your face laughing with the girls walking beside you. “Atsumu, stop Ogling at a girl that literally wants nothing to do with you “ Osamu groaned as he walked up seeing the look on his brothers face, “ Seriously you look pathetic with that look on your face “. Atsumu turned and punched his brothers arm, “ You wouldn’t understand “ He snapped then turned his head back to watch you walk away.
After school you were walking to the front gate of Inarizaki with you team mates when Atsumu walked out in front of you with a smug look, “ Y/N, lets play your sport.. We will play soccer “ The blonde said with a smirk. The other girls gasped at Atsumu’s suggestion then looked at you knowing that he likely didn’t know how great of a player you were, As the blonde was the ace of the volleyball team you were the captain of the Soccer team. “ Fine, but it will be penalty kicks on goal “ You stated, making your team mates look between each other then at your back as you smirked at Atsumu who contemplated for a moment before nodding.
“ Fine we can do that, can’t be that hard. Then you will have to come see me play and cheer for me “ He stated confidently, looking over at Osuma who stood off to the side looking over at you before turning his attention to his idiot brother. The girls looked shocked at the blonde then over to you seeing the anger raising in your face as you lips slid back from your teeth, “ Oh we will see Atsumu, get to the field “ You snap then head back to your club room to change. Coming out on the field with your goal keeping gloves on, smacking them together then jumping in place before stepping in front of the goal. Stretching side to side as your ( e/c) eyes fell on Atsumu talking with one of your team mates who was explaining what to do to the blonde, “ I’ve got it, I’m a whiz at sports “ He said smugly as Osamu rolled his eyes behind his brother.
“ Then get to it twinkle toes “ You called out, leaning forward with you arms out and hands open swaying side to side ready for the kick. Atsumu smirked then ran forward to kick the ball, but as he did the cleat caught the dirt sending the male tumbling forward as the ball came rolling at you. Easily kicking it away, then walking out past the blonde as he laid on the ground. “ Not so easy it seems huh “ You teased, looking down at Atsumu before taking your place to kick on him.
As the penalty kicks continued a small crowd began to form watching the normally collected blonde looking frazzled as it was a one sided match, finally coming to the last kick from Atsumu. You stood in the goal with your arms wide, the male had gotten better with his kicks but still nothing that you couldn’t block. The last one had power behind it but easily dove, catching the ball between your hands. The blonde dropped to his knees as the crowd gasped, you walked slowly up to him with one hand on your hip and the other arm laid over the ball that was against your other hip. “ It seems it was harder then you thought eh Atsumu “ You snapped looking down at the blonde before walking away, pulling a laugh from Osuma with Suna snapping a picture as the two brothers began to fight.
The next few days were filled with giggles and whispers from the other girls in the classroom as the blonde would peek in to watch you but when you’d turn to look at him he’d disappear, making you roll your eyes at his idiocy before going back to work. “ Come on Y/N won’t you give him a second chance or something “ One of you friends asked though went silent as you scowled at her, hearing the other girls start to giggle again. “ He lost fair and square, so I will not be doing him any…favors “ You snapped only to growl as you heard the girls giggle again, standing up quickly to walk over to the door looking out to see Atsumu pressed against the wall with Osamu standing on the other side of the hallway reading.
“ You lost, you made a bet and you lost. Stop moping around like an injured puppy, I wonder what Kita had to deal with on the court “ You shouted, making Osamu look up from his book as well making Atsumu gasp only to realize you knew his Captain. “ Wait, you know Kita “ The blonde asked, rolling your (e/c) eyes at the question. “ Captains know other captains, simple as that Irritation now go back to your classroom before I let your coach know you are bothering me “ You threatened before going back into the classroom, turning to glare as he stuck his head in the window but disappeared quickly.
Sighing heavily as you walked from the school, knowing that soon soccer would be over for the year and that training camp would begin. “ A nickel for you problems “ Someone said behind you making you jump, looking over to see Osamu. Your eyes widened and quickly looked around, half hearing the laugh from the silver haired Miya twin. “ He isn’t here, Coach heard about the incident and well he gets to clean every volleyball by himself. He should be there for the next few years with how short his attention span is “ Osamu said, smirking as he saw you finally laugh instead of look angry because of his brother.
“ So I know you won, Like completely and utterly won that match. But why not just come watch, not even to see that idiot. Hell, id enjoy having another sports person who isn’t obsessed with my brother there to watch. For me “ The silver haired male asked with a soft smirk, making you groan as you laid your head back. “ Seriously Osamu, you with that look.. its unfair.. FINNNEEEE “ You grumbled, only to laugh as he bumped shoulders with you while the two of you walked. “ Cool, but don’t talk during the idiot’s serves. He gets testy “ Osamu warned before jogging off, making you sigh as your (e/c) eyes looked up at the sky.
A few days later you stood at the gym, pulling you glasses down your face as you groaned already seeing the girls with signs for Atsumu. ‘ Seriously, you wonder why I dislike you so much ‘ You thought before going inside to find a place, noticing the team readying. Your shoulder length (h/c) hair curled as make up lined your eyes and a rose red lipstick laid over you lips, a mid thigh skirt slid up as you set down with an off the shoulder crop top sweater hung off your left shoulder. Groaning as a whistle rang through the air and two guys set on either side of you, “ Hey Beautiful, how are you doing “ One of the guys said as they laid their arm over you shoulders.
“ First, I’m good and second off get away from me “ You threatened as your eyes faced ahead, already knowing you could handle yourself but wanted to give the guys a chance to get away from you before you taught them that. “ Why would I want to leav- “ The one said as he leaned in only to scream as you grabbed his arm and twisted it behind his back, standing up to pin him to the railing. “ First, don’t touch me.. Second, have fun dealing with an injured shoulder “ You snapped, glaring over at him before hearing someone calling your name. Looking down to the court to see Atsuma and Osamu looking up at you, “ You okay Y/N “ Osamu called out as the blonde looked ready to run off the court. You gave a thumbs up before pushing away from the guy as the crowd around began to applaud, the two guys ran off quickly.
Your eyes focused on the court as it finally began, watching the layout of the players and trying to figure how it was such a desired sport. Til Atsumu raised his hand and the entire room fell silent, you set back and looked around unsure what was happening. Just as you turned back to the court you saw him take flight, the way his body arched and how his hand met the ball. Your eyes barely able to process how the ball flattened out so much, only to take a round shape again as it spun into the wall. Osamu and the blonde cheering as the rest of the team did, your (e/c) eyes unable to leave the court for the rest of the game.
“ Osamu “ You called out as you jogged up, rolling your eyes at his whistle over your outfit. “ Well don’t you look all dolled up, quite different then school. Id watch out, the idiot thinks you came for him and looking like this will only make it worse “ Osamu said with a smirk, turning as the rest of the team came out the doors. “ Wow Y/N, you look quite beautiful today “ Kita complimented, as Suna hugged you. “ Yeah, By the way great job with kicking those guys asses, your classes paid off “ He said as he set back, the team turning as they heard someone call your name to see Atsumu standing there.
Sighing heavily as the Blonde walked forward to stand before you, even with the heels he was a few inches taller then you. “ I-You-I’m… “ He stammered as his brown eyes looked down into yours, “ A-Are you okay, I-We saw those men. You manhandled the one “. Atsumu laughed nervously as he looked around to his team mates around you then back down at you, “ So would you be up for some bubble tea maybe.. “ He asked cautiously. A smirk slid up the edge of your lips, “ Didn’t you hear me say that I don’t go after playboys, far as I can tell Atsumu Miya..you haven’t changed suddenly. Good try, but not happening pretty boy “ You stated before turning to walk away from the team.
“ Don’t even think about ‘Sumu “ Osuma stated as he saw the look on his brother’s face, sighing heavily as the blonde took off after you. “ Your brother does not seem to understand the word no “ Aran stated before the team turned to head up to the stands to watch the next match before the next game, Osamu standing there with a smirk before following his teammates inside. You turned as you heard your name being called, huffing softly as you saw the blonde jogging up. Atsumu smiled brightly, “ So if I change then you would go on a date with me “ He asked as his smile spread larger. Though his eyes widened as you reached out and grabbed the collar of his jersey bringing him down to you height, gulping as your face came closer to his. “ Who knows what might happen in the future but for now, go play your dang game and leave me alone “ You snapped quietly with your (e/c ) eyes looking between his, seeing as he started to pout. Sighing heavily as your rolled your eyes, leaning in quickly to press your lips to his before stepping back to spin away. “ Now go away idiot “ You spat at him as you walked away, not seeing the blush on the Blonde’s face before he smiled brightly and ran back into the gym thinking about what might happen in the future.
The Rockies are new, young and virile and fresh from the Laramide orogeny, tall and lanky teenagers on the geological scale.
the Appalachian mountains are old, formed hundreds of millions of years ago before dinosaurs walked the Earth. They are ancients, elders, witnesses to half a billion years of life coming and going.
To be tall is not a virtue. To be small is not a sin. The Appalachians are eroding under the weight of time, slowly shrinking and returning to the Earth from which they sprang.
Appreciate them while they are still here.
I do want to say real quick again about the age of the Appalachians…
They said “before dinosaurs,” but we have a cave here that began forming between 450 million to 550 million years ago.
There are no bones in that cave. No fossils. No nothing.
That’s because this cave began forming before bones existed on land, and had only just started to exist in the ocean. Shellfish hadn’t evolved yet. Limestone, which forms many caves, was just starting to become a more prevalent rock.
The mountains aren’t older than dinosaurs. They are older than bones.
see that little lump up at the top of minnesota? the sawtooth mountains? so small most places would just call them hills?
those are over a billion years old.
that’s why they’re so small. they’re the last ancient remnants of a lava flow 5 miles thick. the lava didn’t kill any dinosaurs. or any fish. or any animals at all. because there were no animals. you know what there was?
algae.
those mountains were 5 miles tall when the most advanced life on earth was algae.
so i’m just gonna go ahead and keep calling them mountains, even though all you need to climb them is hiking shoes and a nice afternoon. because a place where you can crouch down and touch basalt that was lava before leaves were invented deserves some respect.
not only that, the Appalachians predate the Atlantic Ocean and were fragmented. they stretch across three continents, as Atlas in Africa and Caledonians in Europe as you can see here:
the Appalachians are way way old. the fossils that ARE found in these ranges are ancient marine beings, whose fossil remains predate the anatomical structures of beings migrating to land for the first time. THAT’S how old the Appalachians are.
show the elders some respect, they have witnessed eons and are returning to the land from which they grew, it’s the kind of the passage of time on a scale that our human lives could not even begin to comprehend.
I’ve used this technique for about a year, and I can safely say that it has efficiently transformed my sleeping habits from several hours of struggle to fall asleep, to passing out in a matter of minutes.
It’s a form of Alexander Technique. It’s a technique that was designed for actors to keep their body in ready working condition and give it the best way to perform. This is the method used to calm, and center the body. Once the body is at that point it can perform anything you want it to.
Reblogging for later reference after I tried it earlier today to try to calm down. It actually does help a lot, not just for sleep but if you have problems with anxiety.
My default mental setting is “vibrating intensely in the background.” After doing this, I felt noticeably calm and relaxed - I wasn’t as fixated on my breathing, I wasn’t tense, my movements weren’t jerky and I didn’t feel like I had to be as tense as possible to be under control. 10/10 would recommend.
Who’d of thought someone like him would make me feel the way he does, seriously with that glare he gives others. But the way his heartfelt smile and his sweet words cut me to the core, I can’t believe that I am the one whom he desires to be close to. When it all began, you’d of never thought it would end up like this.. Lets go over that, come on the adventure with me…
“ Seriously Kenma, do I have to go to the training game with you. Like I really don’t want to “ You complained to your friend, looking from the setter over to the Captain who just smiled broadly as he ushered you on to the train with the rest of the Nekoma team. Yaku smiled brightly as you slid into the seat next to him with Kuroo leading Kenma by his game, “ Don’t make that face Y/N, you are coming because you are our secret weapon. Plus coach said it was ok, He is meeting us there because as he said the train is going to try to kill him “ The Captain said looking over to you as he lightly pushed the setter down into his seat. “ Yeah Y/N, your ability is on par with Kenma and the setter at this school though you don’t play.. Which I really don’t understand, you could totally rule the school “ Yamamoto said as he turned around in his seat to look back at you, your (e/c) eyes looked to the Ace with a soft smile before looking down to your feet clenching your jeans within your hands.
“ Well.. I got hurt, Kuroo and Kenma were there. I twisted my knee and ripped some stuff that even when the bone healed, it left my knee weakened.. So I can’t properly jump or push off like you’d need to be a Spiker or even a Setter, since I would switch between the two “ You muttered softly, slowly raising your head to smile sadly at Yamamoto who gasped only to look away. “ Sorry to make you remember something so sad… but hey” The teen said before turning his head to look back at you, “ At least we have you helping us.. So we are lucky to have ya “. Your eyes widened at his kind words, watching his broad smile only to laugh quietly as Inuoka pushed him back down in his seat. ‘ Never thought of it like that.. ‘ you thought looking to your friends before down to your legs knowing most didn’t realize, yet you knew it.
“ Seriously where did he get to.. hey lets split up and look for him “ Kuroo said as they walked around, Kenma having all but disappeared when you got off the second to last bus needing to be to Karasuno soon. Everyone nodding and splitting up to look for the setter, ‘ Seriously how far could he have gone ‘ You thought looking around only to turn a corner and fall back having hit someone. A wave of pain ran through your leg, making you reach for it before looking up to see a pair of Intense brown eyes looking down at you only for them to soften as he smiled reaching down for you. “ Oh I am so sorry miss, let me help you up “ He said as you set there trying to decide to reach for him, slowly lifting a hand hesitantly to him. Wincing as he pull you up only to fall forward into the shaved hair teen, “ S-Sorry, with the fall my knee got tweaked “ You apologized hopping back a step to look around for anyone from Nekoma only to gasp as you were easily lifted. Quickly wrapping your arms around the unknown mans neck, turning your attention back to him.
“ Where do you need to go Miss, let me help you since I’m at fault too “ The teen said with a soft smile, though turning as he heard footsteps behind him. The others stopped seeing him holding you, “ Uhh Tanaka.. we were looking for Shoto, not for a woman “ The blonde said with a smirk making the man who held you grumble. “ Shut it Tsukishima, she fell when she hit me so I told her Id take her where she needs to go “ Tanaka stated, then started to walk following the blond where he had just come from. Ahead of you Kai and Inuoka came running around a corner, looking both ways only to stop as they saw you in the arms of the man. “ Y/N” Inuoka shouted, running up to Tanaka and quickly pulling you from his arms as Kai comes jogging up. “ Wait.. you are Nekoma “ Tanaka asked, you looked over your shoulder as kai helped you piggy back on Inuoka’s back. Nodding to him, then bowing your head before the two started carrying you away not noticing the deep brown eyes on your back.
“ Welcome to Karasuno, though it seems some of our members have met each other “ A tall male said standing before Kuroo, looking over to Tanaka who was making a face at Inuoka as if angry at him. “ We came just to gauge who well you can handle the trash heap rivalry, especially when we have our secret weapon “ The raven haired said with a smirk as you crutched forward, making the shaved hair teen stop his faces only to look over to you. “ This is Y/N, she will make you wish you hadn’t called us here.. well even more then when we whip you” The Captain added, you bowing your head to the other captain to you. “ My name is Daichi, it is nice to meet you. I heard you hurt yourself running into one of my team mates, I apologize and hope you won’t view us badly “ He said with a soft smile, your head whipped up not having thought badly at all.
“ uhh no, I didn’t nor would I.. he was kind and helped me before my team mates got there, your team mate.. Tanaka I believe was a gentlemen “ You muttered before looking away embarrassed by saying so much, pulling the glares from all of Nekoma at the shaved hair teen who blushed before looking at the other team glaring back at them. “ Lets get all ready for the match “ Daichi called out to his team as they bowed to Nekoma before turning to head inside, Kuroo held his hand out with his other on the Small of your back to catch you if you fell forward. Taking a deep breath as you came up to the gymnasium, “ You got this Y/N, don’t think about anything else “ The setter said as he walked past looking over at you from the corner of his eye. Smirking knowing that was his way of helping you push through the pain and worry of being at a new place, “ As if I wouldn’t have it with you being here to help me “ You called after your friend as a smirk slipped over his lips quickly only to disappear as quickly.
“ Are you really sure you are ok Y/N “ Coach Nekomata asked, you nodded keeping your eyes on the court as you watched the two teams finish warm up then take their places to start the first set. “ The other team is using a small child as one of their wing spikers.. Is he the one that we have heard about “ You asked quietly, not even looking away from the court yet seeing the coach nod as you both watched the game closely. Smirking as Kenma kept his cool, but looked bored as always while he calculated everything perfectly noticing how much the other team was struggling with it. Yet when it happened, it was like time stopped. The orange haired teen moved so fast, it was hard to keep up with him but you saw him move across the court like lightning then catch the ball within his hand from the setter like it was shot directly to it.
You gasped loudly, looking over to Coach who didn’t seem surprised before looking back to the court where all of Nekoma looked surprised as well. They looked at where the ball had hit before looking across the net to the Orange haired teen who was smiling brightly to his team mates, they looked from Kenma then over to you as you shook your head side to side unsure of how exactly to stop that kind of speed. Your (e/c) eyes ran over the team mates on the Karasuno side, only to meet the intense eyes of the man who had helped you before. ‘ Tanaka…right’ You thought, gasping as he smiled winking at you only to look away quickly not wanting to let him or anyone else see that you were blushing. Inuoka noticed, glaring at Tanaka who growled at him.
The match went quickly with Nekoma showing Karasuno why they were one of the powerhouse schools in the country, the coach helped you to your feet as you pulled the crutches up then started to move around the bench. The end of your crutch caught the leg of the bench making you fall forward, yet an arm slid around your waist. Gasping as you felt the arm there, looking up quickly to be met by the same intense brown eyes as before. “ It seems I am just meant to save you today “ Tanaka mutter quietly with a smirk, making you laugh quietly and shake your head before standing back up.
“ You should get some better lines or you won’t get any ladies “ You stated with a teethy grin at the teen, who laughed and rubbed the back of his head. “ I’ll make sure to keep that in mind, I mean right now I am just wondering if it worked on one “ He added tilting his head to look at you, making your (e/c) eyes widen at his honest words though quickly looking away. “ I don’t know, you might never know if they worked or not “ You said, turning to start heading out of the gymnasium with the teen following. “ You won’t tell me.. how about this, if you won’t tell me now.. you Tell me when I take you out “ Tanaka asked, making you stop in your tracks unable to believe the words that just left his lips.
“ Little Crow, our Precious secret weapon isn’t interested in someone like you “ Someone said from the doorway in front of you, multiple people loomed in the space glaring at the teen. Kuroo stepped forward, putting himself between you and Tanaka before turning to lay his hand lightly on your back helping you out of the gym. Looking back at the gym to see the shaved hair teen standing in the doorway waving to you with an almost sad smile spread over his lips, you stop looking over to kuroo before back to Tanaka. Turning to wave him over, watching as the teen pointed to himself making you laugh before nodding. He ran forward to stand before you, looking down at his large callaused hand as you pulled it out.
Using the marker you had in your pocket to write your number, “ You might have the chance of a date… I don’t know if I’ll give you the chance, but for now you can call me “ You muttered looking down at the hand before raising your head to smile brightly at Tanaka who stood shocked by your actions. Turning to start moving away from the teen, who looked from you down to his hand then back to you as you slid into the car that Coach Nekomata had driven over. “ Hey Y/N “ Tanaka called out, making you turn your head just before the door closed. “ I’ll make sure you want to have that first date “ He added with a large teethy grin, waving as the Captain shut your door before following the rest of the team towards the bus stop.
Imagine Me This Links: Kita Shinsuke | Kageyama Tobio | Hinata Shoyo
You never thought you'd see him again. You almost choked on the truffle pasta that you ordered in this café when a certain beautiful giant waved and made his way to you.
"Holy damn." You whispered underneath your breath as his strides made their way towards your table. You knew he was already a show stopper back then, but now???!
You were so sure everyone would drop dead at the sight of him.
"Hi." He greeted with his deep voice. "Do you still remember me?"
Surprise filled your expression at his question but you smiled politely and nodded your head. "How could I forget? How are you Ushijima?"
You swore you saw a glint of relief and excitement in his eyes but it immediately wavered as he motioned to the chair in front of you.
"May I?" He asked again, holding the back of the chair.
Is he really going to sit here with me?!
"Sure, of course." Your voice squeaked at the feeling of your heart bursting out of your chest. His greeting was enough to kick the air out of your lungs but a whole conversation?! You didn't know how long you would last in his ever- intimidating presence.
-
It was already the last year in college and you were so determined to graduate with latin honors. Every single minute of your life, you dedicated it to studies, friends and family. They were all that mattered. And so you stayed until the wee hours at certain café spots around the university or at the library inside the campus. You went to meet up with friends during the weekends only for a simple dinner or lunch. You called your family members every chance you get during free time. That was your life. And you were content.
But then this boy came in to the picture.
"You will be partnered together and I shall assign the pair. Make sure you finish the written output, video presentation, and oral defense at the end of the semester." Those were the words of your professor during one of your classes before yours and his name were called out together.
You swore it was fate. Romance was really not in the forefront of your mind but as they say, "You'll find it best when you're not looking".
AND MY GOD WERE YOU SO WRONG!
This man named Ushijima Wakatoshi who came out from nowhere, looking as good they come, had no ounce of romance nor funny bone in his muscular body. He was the most dense, most serious, most infuriating man you've ever met in your whole life!!! He was a whole perfectionist, always so blunt at his comments about the outputs that you showed him. He was also so strict with the deadlines, not considering that you had other classes than this that had much more weight and importance.
You were so close to giving up but...
"Y/n?" You knew that voice only belonged to the certain antagonist in your story right now.
Your hands trembled as you wiped the tears streaming down your face after your meeting together at the library.
"Ushijima, hey!" You pretended to be your usual chirpy self as you turned around to face him.
It was already late so the lights surrounding the university casted an unworldly glow on his face. He was always so breathtaking no matter where you put him but damn those looks! He was just as heartless.
"Are you alright?" He asked with a worried tone.
"I'm fine. I'll be going home now. See you next week." You excused yourself.
"Wait." His cold fingers caught your arm and that made you stop your tracks.
"Is there a problem, Wakatoshi?"
He bowed his head before slowly releasing you in his grip. "I wanted to apologize for my behavior."
"W-what?" You wanted to make sure if what your ears heard was right. He does not seem the type to apologize.
You heard another deep sigh as he looked at you. "I've always been told that I come off too much to others. I didn't realize it until recently when one of my friends told me."
"Oh, well..."
"I'll try to be better though. I'll be more careful from now on. And I'm really sorry if I ever hurt your feelings in the past." He said with all seriousness that you can't help but sigh and just nod.
"You can be really mean sometimes." You agreed and chuckled, letting a tear escape your eyes.
"You've been crying." He stated flatly as if he was reciting a trivia. "I'm still so sorry."
You giggled. "Yeah, I forgive you. Anyway, it's getting late, Wakatoshi. We have to head home."
"I'll walk you home." He said with a finality in his voice. You were again, surprised by his actions but just agreed because this was such a draining day.
And as you were nearing where you stayed, you were again surprised at how comforting his presence was.
--
You did find his presence after that night relaxing. He became more tactful and he started to insert jokes during your meetings which shocked you so much the first time that he felt a little offended. You became such close friends that his team mates in volleyball were again, shocked that he managed to get a friend outside the team. It was just a matter of getting used to, you thought to yourself. He's just so honest, mechanical, and straightforward to a fault and you got to master how to tell him off when needed. He also developed to trust you so whenever he needed advice, he would always go to you and trust your honest words.
Looking at him now, it made your heart warm at how far he'd come. It's amazing to have known him then. To have seen how he grew as an athlete, a student, and a person. He may still be a little stiff but that's just the Wakatoshi you've come to love.
"Soo..." He started while sitting back down again after claiming his coffee from the counter. "I am not disturbing you, am I?" He pointed at the laptop and papers next to you.
You laughed. "Not at all! I finished them anyway."
"How have you been then?" He asked. His elbows were resting on the table and his hands were holding on to the cup of coffee. The sight was a little funny considering his giant built was leaned onto a very small table.
You smiled gently. "I've been good! I got the job that I dreamed of having and I own some businesses too. Ho--"
"Your eyes sparkle the same way." He cut off.
"What?" You asked, surprised at his random comment.
"Your eyes..." He pointed out. "They sparkle the same way they did in college when you were talking about something you like."
"How did you notice that?" You laughed.
"I'm known to be observant." He smirked slightly, taking a sip of his coffee.
"Okay, Mr. Oh-So-Observant, how are your matches going? I've been tuning in since the first tournament and it looks like you're going to the semi- finals!" You cheered not hiding your pride and excitement for the country's national volleyball team. When you searched on how to watch the live games, you insisted that you were there to cheer for the country and definitely NOT to cheer and simp for a certain brown- haired, serious player. Definitely NOT!
"You've been watching our games?" He asked, eyes slightly widening at the thought of you cheering for him. What he didn't know was that you were always watching his games since college, not missing even one match. You were always there, crying at how proud you were of him. Also, crying at how much he could never be yours.
"Of course, I have, silly!" You chuckled and pointed at your laptop. "I've been watching here and you're just so amazing and strong!"
He suddenly paused at your statement, silently raising a brow at you and smiling softly.
"I- I meant that your whole team is amazing and strong." You clarified, a blush automatically painting the whole of your face and ears.
"Would you like to go tomorrow?" He blinked, setting down his cup on the wooden surface. "To the game, I mean?"
Your eyes widened at his offer. "Are you serious?!"
He chuckled at your reaction. "Of course! We're allowed to bring spectators for the games, I'll just give you the tickets."
"Wow, Ushijima, thank you so much! It's an honor!" You chimed excitedly, jumping a little on your chair.
"The honor's mine." He replied, grinning at you.
He already knew back then that you were one of a kind. No one ever really stayed and tried to understand his demeanor and personality but you did. You were so honest and kind and you always knew what to do or say to keep him at ease. You accepted him for who he was and he's so thankful to have met such a beautiful soul. Even when you were doing nothing, even when you're just sitting across this table from him, without you knowing, you already made up his entire exhausting day. Hell, you made up all those exhausting years of not seeing each other since you two graduated. He suddenly imagined if being with you would always be like this. So peaceful and just pure bliss...
"You've got to be shitting on me! Is that Ushiwaka?" The pair sitting next to the glass walls of the café was oblivious of the red- haired tower and group of men walking past the street. All of them were wearing coats and casual attires as they're planning to go for lunch at their favorite restaurant for a little reunion. The all powerful Shiratorizawa Volleyball Team, headed by Ushijima in high school, cowered like puppies at the name of their captain being mentioned.
"Where?!" Goshiki stopped and shielded himself from an invisible force. "He said he couldn't make it!"
"I guess our baby's growing up, look!" Tendou hummed and pointed at the two of you laughing and looking at each other with heart eyes. "I bet they don't know that they're shooting hearts at each other."
"I never thought he could smile like that." Semi whispered.
"Yeah well, he's been crushing on that girl since college." Tendou filled the silent wonder of the whole group. "That's why she looked familiar! He kept sending me photos of them together studying or something..."
"Studying, my ass!" Shirabu laughed as they continued staring and hiding behind a post at the same time.
They all burst out laughing and again Tendou chuckled. "No seriously, they were studying!"
"Yeah well, they look good together. I hope he'd have the balls to ask her out. Please god!" Goshiki put his hands together as if seriously praying.
"Bet you 10, 000 yen, we'd be attending his wedding two years from now." Semi challenged.
"Nah, I'll go with a year." Tendou offered.
The men casted their bets on how long you and Ushijima would get married. They knew their captain so well to be sure enough that he was serious with you. Safe to say, Semi won the bet.
You never thought the heartbreak that had happened before would blossom into something like this a and especially with him… of all people, of all moments in time… why was this one so important but you know that right now that didn’t matter because damn the smile spread over his lips made everything feel so much better, and the way his large callused hand felt holding your firmly yet tenderly made all things that didn’t matter just fall away.
A few months before, you set at the side of the court with a towel over your head. The trainer knelling in front of you looking over the pulsing knee from the twist when you fell after stopping the volleyball from hitting the court, they gingerly touched the skin that was already changing color from the muscles and tendons ripping beneath it. Their knowing eyes looked up at you with worry swirling within the dark color, for in that moment you knew the dream you had held so tightly to was likely ended. “ How is it “ Your coach asked as they walked up, feeling their weight slide next to you on the bench as the trainer turned their gaze to them. They fidgeted as if unsure how to tell the intimidating person that you weren’t going back in the match, that you weren’t going to be playing anymore tournaments or that you might not play another match ever again. For the life of you, you couldn’t force your voice to tell your coach that you knew that you couldn’t play anymore.
Balling your hands up into fists as your forearms rested on your thighs slouching forward, “ Coach… she will need to see a doctor to be sure.. but she won’t be getting back into the match today “ The trainer finally said meekishly. To your surprise, you felt an arm wrap around your shoulders. “ That is fine, she did good. Don’t worry Y/N, you will be back on the court before you know it “ The coach said so confidently, yet your chest tightened up as you ( E/C) eyes looked down at your knee seeing how much it was already swelling as if knowing that you will never set foot back on this court again. “ Im going to start wrapping it now so we can get you to a doctor “ The trainer muttered turning their attention back to you, waiting til the slightest movement of your head before starting. The rest was a blur, the many doctor visits and the many times they said that even with so much damage you could make it back to the court. ‘ You say that… but I doubt it ‘ You thought as you kept your head down, knowing in your heart that the same fire within your chest was extinguished after feeling the shot of pain and hearing the snap as you fell.
“ Y/N, do you need help with anything, I can carry that for you “ Your friend Rena asked with a smile as you moved through the hall with the crutches, shaking your head side to side as the long (H/c) hair waved behind your from the movement. “ I am fine, thanks” You muttered, though could feel the backpack falling from your shoulders as you moved the crutches forward. In an instant you felt light, gasping as you turned your head to see him there. Those knowing Golden eyes with the broad smile over his goofy face with that wind whipped silver hair, “ Y/N, you can tell her that you don’t need help but you totally need help. Now let us help “ Bokuto said with his standard teethy grin as he held you so easily in his arms. “ Bokuto, let her down.. Im sorry Y/N-san, he saw you and took off before I could hold him back “ Akaashi said as he came up next to the tall Ace, pulling at his arm to make Bokuto let you down as the setter held your arm while you slid the crutches into place with a gentle smile on his lips.
“ Its fine, I already know his antics.. but from now on Bokuto-san.. Please don’t “ You muttered looking down at the floor trying to hold back the tears as you could feel the way they were pitying you, turning your head to bow it slightly to them before heading down the hallway away from the dejected looking Ace. “ Bokuto, stop with that look.. you were the one who made her like that, she is already struggling with the injury and you go pick her up thinking she cant walk herself.. think more next time “ Akaashi scolded, making the large ace look over at him with a pout and sad puppy dog eyes. The setter sighed before pinching the bridge of his nose, “ That won’t do anything for you, get to class before you get scolded again “ He added before starting after you having the same class with you while the Ace gasped quickly taking off down the hallway towards his own class.
A few weeks later, you laid in the bed of the hospital looking down at the heavily padded brace before turning your eyes up to the ceiling as the doctor talked to your aunt about how the surgery went and what to do from how on to make sure that everything healed well. “ Now it is all on you Y/N, we have done all that we can on our end. Your recovery now on will be dependent on you, we will see you all back in 6 weeks to see if she is ready for Physical Therapy “ The doctor said looking over at you with a bright smile then back to your aunt, who looked from him to you before looking back to the doctor having seen how depressed you had become from the injury. “ I’ll see the doctor out, try to rest “ Your aunt said with a soft smile, looking over to your void face before sighing as she walked out with the doctor leaving you alone with your thoughts. As soon as silence fell over the room, you raised your hands to cover your face as tears started to fall down the sides of your face as you bit your lip trying to silence the sobs that shook your body to the core.
‘ It won’t be the same, it will never be the same… ‘ You thought as you pulled your lower lip further between your teeth, only to jump with a gasp as the door flew open to the hit the wall behind it. Quickly wiping away the tears as you looked over seeing Bokuto with a large arrangement of flowers, as well a bear nearly half his height and a dozen ballons. His eyes widened at seeing yours reddened, quickly rushing forward to set everything down then reaching for your face only to stop and smile knowing that you didn’t see him like that. “ Why are you crying Y/N “ He asked softly, looking between your (e/c) eyes worried before looking down your body to see the leg up on pillows wrapped in the brace. “ I know you think this is it.. but you will get better, you will be playing with me on the court.. you will be taking serves from Akaashi, we will see who can smash that ball harder into the ground “ The silver haired ace muttered softly as he lowered his head balling up the edge of the blanket up into his hands.
An audible gasp left your lips at his statement, making your eyes widen in surprise from his kind words as well his own eagerness to play on the court with you again. Your lips split to say something, but before you could agree the dark thoughts that had held your mind crept back into your mind. “ That is nice to say Bokuto-san.. but lets be truthful, from the extent.. it is very doubtful. Don’t hold your breath “ You said coldly with a forced smile, making Bokuto look up with his golden eyes wide in surprise from the harshness of the words. He snapped his head to the side as if trying to hold his tongue, retracting his hands from the blanket as he stepped back dropping his head to where his bangs covered the intense eyes that you loved so much yet had never told the ace. “ If that’s what you believe, then you don’t believe in yourself.. but I do.. I believe in you Y/N, and I know that we will both be back on the court. Even if its just a play match against our team mates, we will be playing side by side… So Don’t give up “ Bokuto started quietly then started to get louder as he raised his head with his intense golden eyes flashing into your (e/c ) eyes making the room feel almost stifling with the pressure of his presence before you, “ You are the Great Eagle Owl of Fukorandani, don’t forget that “.
With that the ace turned and left the room, leaving you in shock how adamant he was about you getting back on the court. “ Well it seems that he couldn’t wait for the rest of us “ A voice said pulling you from your thoughts, making you look over to see Akaashi with the rest of the boys team behind him. “ Hey Y/N, I brought you some fruit.. thought Konoha ate an apple already “ Washio said as he set the basket of fruit down on the side table where Bokuto had placed his flowers and the base of the balloons, Komi picked the bear up from the floor laying it over the end of the bed at the end of your leg. “ It looks like you are already ready to get back on the court “ Sarukai said with a smirk, getting smacked across the chest by Onaga as if telling him to quiet down as the group surrounded the bed. Akaashi pulled a pad out from his bag he had over his shoulder, “ So what do we need to get you to help with your recovery “ The setter said with a gentle smile making you gasp looking over the men who stood around you as they all gave you a broad smile wanting to help.
The days turned into weeks before you finally were back at school, slowly making your way down the hallway with Akaashi on one shoulder and Washio and Konoha on the other as they talked about class. “ Next class is math, Konoha has that with you so he can help you with getting in and out without having to hit people with those crutches “ Akaashi said looking over the schedule in his notebook, looking over to the brown haired teen who laughed having remembered right after the surgery that you beat someone with one of your crutches for not moving. “ Don’t encourage her behavior “ The setter said with narrowed eyes making the Wing Spiker straighten up, pulling a soft laugh from your mouth.
The three men looked to you a bit shocked, having known seen the accident and even the surgery that you hadn’t really smiled or even laughed. “ Hey don’t look at me like that, he looked at if he had the fear of god in him from what Keiji said “ You said quickly having seen their looks then pushed ahead of the group, though the setter looked behind them to see a flash of Silver disappear behind the wall. Sighing softly before heading after you with Konoha and Washio having taken one side each to keep others away from your crutches, ‘ Idiot.. you won’t talk to her yet you won’t keep your eyes off her ‘ Akaashi thought having known that Bokuto was keeping a close on you, but refused to admit he was doing it when he was asked.
You set outside the school waiting for your aunt to come pick you up pulling the scarf tighter around your neck, looking up at the cloudy sky knowing that it would likely start to snow again soon. ‘ Did she get held up at work again.. its not like the house is that far from school, so I don’t understand why I need to get picked up ‘ You thought as you set there rubbing your hands together, sighing before grabbing the crutches beside you and pushing up to slide them under your arms. ‘ I just have to be careful, if I’m careful then I won’t fall ‘ You thought before leaning forward to put your weight on your crutches and your eyes widened feeling the rubber bottom start to slip, it was like slow motion as you watched the ground get closer. Knowing that you could catch yourself with the hurt leg, but knowing if you did then all the time taken trying to heal it would be for naught. In an instant an arm slid around your body, spinning you in their arms as the clatter of the metal to the concrete filled your ears other then your own heart.
The feeling of a fast beating heart rested against the palms of your hands as you touched their chest, slowly looking up to be met by the Intense golden eyes that you had missed seeing before you. They were wide with worry, he looked over your face as if it to check for even an ounce of pain but as you laid there in his arms with him leaned forward you slowly became aware of where you were. “ Bokuto-san.. “ You muttered softly as the words stuck in your throat from the heat that had blossomed there from the closeness of the ace before you, he gasped and quickly pull you up to stand up. “ Oh uh sorry.. umm let me get your crutches “ He muttered quickly, keeping his arm around your waist that heated up under his touch as he leaned down to grab the crutches.
“ H-How did you get to me.. How did you know I was falling “ You mumbled looking down at where your body were meeting, a blush sliding over your cheeks at realizing how close you were to him lightly pushing back only to gasp nearly falling again. Bokuto quickly pulled you flush to his body, “ B-Be-because I w-was watching you, I wanted to make sure you were safe.. I couldn’t just leave you alone “ The ace spoke softly as his large hand laid over your back, making you aware of how truly massive they were as well the broadness of his chest. Gasping as you looked up at Bokuto, who had his head low hiding his golden eyes from you yet the tinge of the blush over his cheeks could be seen. ‘ Since the hospital he has been watching me ‘ You thought as you stood there, only to gasp as you saw other students coming up from behind the ace. Quickly grabbing the Crutches from Bokuto and sliding them under your arms moving away from him, “ C-Can… Will you walk me home “ You muttered looking away from the ace having seen how dejected he became from your movement away from him. His head snapped up with his eyes wide and his open from the shock that quickly changed to a broad smile, “ Of course I can “ He said loudly making the girls behind him squeal and jump. He laughed softly rubbing the back of his head looking back them as they huffed at the silver haired ace, “ Care to go now” Bokuto asked as he turned his attention back to you seeing that you had already began to crutch away.
The walk to your house was quiet, other then the Ace having to catch your arm a few times when the snow beneath your crutches made them slip. As you finally got to the front of the house, Bokuto looked up at the gate of the tradition Japanese home not thinking that is where you would be living. “ Umm I am going to go inside, I’ll see you at school tomorrow “ You mumbled embarrassed by the look on your friends face, having not shown many people the house for just this reason. “ W-wait, you.. you need help to get all the way inside. Isnt there a yard inside, what if you fell there.. I can’t let you get.. hurt” Bokuto stammered out loudly as he turned his golden eyes back to you, making you gasp at the kind words that left his lips. “ F-Fine, but after that you should go home. I don’t want to have Keiji to complain at me about you getting sick “ You said moving to the door and sliding it open, looking over as it moved from your arm to see the Ace taking the door to make it easier for you to get in the door. Bokuto smiled broadly at you so easily making a blush creep across your cheeks at the new awareness of the silver haired male next to you, quickly looking away to hurry inside.
The next day you absentmindly moved through the school with Konoha and Akaashi on either side of you, remembering how it felt to be pressed against Bokuto’s chest and how sweet a smell came off as he held you closely. Suddenly becoming aware what you were thinking, making a blush creep across your cheeks and straightening up. The Setter and Wing Spiker stop as they see you straighten up, only to gasp seeing you looking down with the bright blush on your cheeks. “ Y-Y/n.. are you ok “ Konoha asked quietly, looking over to Akaashi not having ever seen you blush before so unsure of what to do. You quickly look up and look at both of them then look away, only to gasp as the reason for your blush is walking right towards you. A bright smile spread across Bokuto’s cheeks as he saw you looking at him, raising his hand to wave to you but hitting a passing girl and knocking her books from her arms. Konoha snickering as the ace was quickly apologizing to the girl while helping her pick up her books, you turned to leave them behind yet drawing the attention of the setter who watched you turn to leave. When Bokuto turned his head back to where Konoha and Akaashi was, he noticed you were gone looking to the seeker who shrugged knowing that if you left if was for a reason.
Silence filled the air as you set in the classroom, the others having gone to their clubs as your (e/c) eyes look over the paper set in front of you. ‘ As if I could go there now.. Not like this ‘ You thought looking out the window before looking down at the brace that encased your leg keeping it in one position, grabbing the wrap under it wanting it to be gone as your chest tightened knowing that even when it did that it wouldn’t be the same. “ So this is where you are hiding “ A voice said to your right making you jump before looking over to gasp as you saw Bokuto standing in the lit up doorway from the hallway, making his already bright smile seem even brighter against the darkness of the room. “ Bo-Bok-Bokuto, w-why aren’t you at club “ You asked hesitantly, having wanted to hide from him a little more having become more aware of him. “ The team will be fine with me for a day, it isn’t important because finding you was more important to me “ The ace said as he laid his hands on his hips, as if not understanding how deeply those words sliced into your chest like a knife.
“Baka… You baka “ You muttered looking away quickly, Bokuto laughed as he walked into the room with the door closing behind him making you notice more that you were in fact alone with the ace. “ Should we go somewhere this weekend, I heard your appointment to take off the brace is tomorrow. We can go see a movie or something “ He asked as he walked up, making you bite your lip feeling overwhelmed by the thoughts that ran through your head. “ W-w-why would you want to do that “ You asked, turning your head away from Bokuto as he stood in front of you with his goofy smile. “ To spend time with you of course, is there any other reason I need “ The ace stated tilting his head to the side confused as to why he would need an excuse to spend time with you, the truthfulness in his words only upset you even more. “ You really are crazy, go to club before coach makes you run laps around the school again “ You said sternly at Bokuto, keeping your gaze away from the silver haired teen knowing that he likely looked like a sad puppy right now. “ Ok but we will do something this weekend, you can’t say no to that. If I have to I will just come over to your house “ The ace stated boldly before turning to leave, making you look up with eyes wide surprised from his bold statement.
The smell of the antiseptic burned your nose as the nurses cut through the bandages to get down to the stitches, looking over the yellow skin from where they sewn up the skin as the doctor walked into the door looking at the x-rays. “ Well from what we have seen you have healed, but now it will just be getting that strength back in your muscles to protect everything. As I said before, your healing is completely dependent on you now. You have done great so far, so lets start scheduling you to see a Physical Therapist to bring you back up to speed “ He said as he looked between your aunt and you, though your (e/c) eyes were looking down at the stitches as the nurse cut them to pull them out. “ Thank you doctor, I will make sure that she gets to her appointments “ Your aunt said looking over at you then back to the doctor with a smile before they head out of the room leaving you alone with the nurse, who gently wrapped your knee with a light bandage just to keep the ace bandage from sticking if the places where the stitches came out leak at all. “ Ok Miss, you can walk very lightly on the leg. The doctor will likely want you to not use it more then an hour a day, but I bet you are very ready for it. Don’t let your boyfriend drag you around to much “ She said with a smile looking up at you, gasping as you blush brightly thinking about a certain Ace at her words.
The week came to an end quicker then you desired knowing that Bokuto would show up even if you didn’t want him to, so now you stood half propped up in front of the mirror trying to find something to wear not knowing where the Silver haired Ace planned to take you. ‘ Will we be outside or inside, will it be hot or cold ‘ You thought pulling up a shirt that hung off the shoulder, then grabbing another that had a heart cut out over the top of the chest before throwing it to the side growling at thinking you needed to dress up so much for him. A knock came to the door, pulling a yelp from your lips as you jumped. “ Y/N, Bokuto is here for you “ Your aunt called from the other side of the door, looking over at the clock to see it was only 9 am unsure why he was there so early. “ Uhh ill be out in a moment “ You called out, hearing her departing footsteps before grabbing the off the shoulder shirt with a pair of skinny jeans knowing the brace you still had to wear would fit over the jeans.
The Silver haired ace stood quietly in the entry way smiling brightly at your aunt as you came around the corner, he gasped as he saw you shocked by how you looked with your long (h/c) hair down and curled as well the light make up that rimmed your (e/c) eyes so beautifully. His golden eyes looked you up and down, smiling as his eyes met yours. “ You look beautiful Y/N, uhh I got you flowers but your aunt already took them in the kitchen.. I had planned to take you out to the amusement park but I didn’t know if you’d like that, so I thought.. why not let you pick, if you don’t mind that “ Bokuto stammered as he fidgeted nervously, the sight before you was unusual not used to seeing the normally confident man to be so unsure of what to do or say with you before him. “ Well Thank you for the thought but…lets go with your first idea…Kotaro “ You said then looked away from the ace as his golden eyes widened, never having heard you call him by his first name before but quickly turning back into a bright smile.
You set in the taxi next to Bokuto as he looked out the window then down at the papers in his hands, as if trying to keep himself distracted as you had done only a few days before. Carefully raising your hand to reach over, lightly touching his but smirking as you saw him jump from the sudden contact then look over at you unsure of why you made contact with him. “ Its ok, we are just going out to have fun.. You don’t need to worry so much, we have done it many times before “ You stated, not thinking that this time was any different from the other times you spent time with the ace. Though the look of sadness that ran over the silver haired teens face as his hair deflated, slowly looking down to fidget with his hands. “ Oh really, I thought… no its nothing, I am sorry for thinking it was any different. You are right Y/N “ Bokuto spoke quietly, though unable to reply to his words as the car stopped and he slid out to come around to help you out as well.
The day was a whirlwind, going on all of the largest rides. Whipping around on the roller coasters and eating the many different amusement foods, then watching the Ace puke them up after riding something to fast after. Finally setting down on a rock bench just as the sun was descending down behind the skyline, your (e/c) eyes looking up at the orange that slowly faded to a deep blue not noticing Bokuto watching you as if you were a priceless piece of art only meant for his eyes. Quickly looking away as you turned your attention to him, “ Hey, do you want to wait for the fireworks. Don’t they do them every night “ You asked with a smile. The ace’s cheeks turned red as the soft lights behind him lit up your face soft making the smile that spread over your lips make his heart skip a beat just before the fireworks began to light up your cheeks, drawing your eyes over to them as joy filled your eyes that had looked so empty for the months til now. ‘ I guess it is ok to be what we are.. as long as she is happy ‘ Bokuto thought with a smirk before looking up to the sky to watch the fireworks as they filled the sky, enjoying that silence the surrounded the two of you.
“ Seriously, after you ate that funnel cake. You should have waited for at least 30 minutes then you wouldn’t of puked it up “ You stated with a laugh looking at The Ace as he walked next to you heading back to the house, though you stopped knowing that when you got back it might change it all. “ Bokuto.. what was tonight.. “ You asked looking down at the ground, waiting quietly for his answer wondering after seeing the look on his face earlier in the taxi. “ Uhh.. I mean.. you said.. it was… “ The ace stammered out as he looked at you then at the ground before sighing heavily and looking back up at you noticing you were looking down too, “ I-I-I wanted.. I thought… that maybe.. it-is.. a date”. At the last word your head shot up, gasping at his words unable to believe that Bokuto also thought of you in a way that wasn’t just friends. “ If you don’t want it to be that though, it can just be a hang out between friends “ He added unsure of what your face meant, though gasped and moved closer to you seeing the crutches falling away as you go to move forward.
Your arms wrap around his neck, leaning against the ace as he wrapped his arms around your waist unsure of what it meant from your hug. A gentle smile spread over your lips, “ I too..thought of that… as a date.. Kotaro “ You whispered next to his ear making the silver haired teen stiffen up for a moment before his arms tightened around you. Squealing as he lifted you up to spin in a circle, his laughter filling the air before setting you down. “ Sorry Y/N, I just can’t believe that you would think the same as I did.. It just, it made me so happy.. uhh let me get your crutches for you “ Bokuto said with a smile setting back to look between your (e/c) eyes before stepping back with a hand still on your waist to grab the two crutches, sliding them under your arms then keeping his large hand on the small of your back as you two headed back to the house smiling as the moon light illuminated the other.
“ Seriously Y/N that is the creepiest smile I have ever seen before, can you please stop “ Konoha stated the next morning at school, you huffed crossing your arms as you set in class looking over at the Wing blocker who set back to avoid the pen you threw laughing as it hit another person that scowled over at you only to look away seeing the look on your face. “ Should I be worried for whoever made you look like that “ He asked, though gasped seeing you blushing as you thought back to the words the Ace told you. “ No.. you shouldn’t, but if you don’t quit teasing me Im going to tell Akaashi and he will make you train even more “ You teased, making the tall teen huff then cross his arms and quickly looking away from you as the teacher finished his teaching.
You moved down the hallway with Akaashi on one side with Konoha on the other, though the two stopped at seeing Bokuto come rushing forward. The two gasped loudly at the Ace crouching down to wrap his arms around your waist and picking you up as he stood up, as well seeing the bright smile on both your faces. They looked at each other then at Bokuto and you, “ Uhh why do I feel like I missed something “ Konoha muttered to the Setter who shrugged unsure as well. The ace slowly let you down as the other two held out the crutches, looking at his two teammates who stared suspiciously at the silver haired teen. “ What guys.. why are you looking at me like that, anyways we have club so lets go “ He said with his broad smile, then turning to have the two follow him. Your (e/c) eyes watching his broad back as he walked away, smirking as he turned his head to wink before heading down a different hallway.
Days turned into weeks as you spent countless hours at the Physical Therapist, pushing yourself to strengthen your leg without others knowing wanting to surprise someone special with your leg fully healed. Though as the Muscle training came along, when you would try to jump or take off for a faux spike from the therapist mentally you held back. Growling at your own thoughts keeping you from doing what you knew you wanted to do, as well what he wanted to do with you so keenly. “ Sometimes after an injury, we can think that if we try it again then it will happen again. But know that we have done all that we can to keep it from happening, so have faith in not only yourself but in your body as it is stronger then you believe “ The Physical Therapist said with a bright smile as she stood with the volleyball over her hip with her arm laid over it, dropping it to bounce it over to you. Taking a deep breath to lob it over to the woman before arching yourself towards the net, pushing off the court from the balls of your feet like a cat before flying up towards the top of the net. Everything felt like it was in slow motion as you hung in the air, pulling your arm back to strike the ball. The hit was instant, hearing the thud of the ball against the wood on the other side before landing on the balls of your feet and letting your legs crouch to better handle the sudden heaviness back on your knees.
It was finally the long awaited second date with Bokuto, you stood now braceless in front of the mirror, smirking as you knew that he might have his own idea for the date but this one was yours as the surprise that you lined up would likely make the silver haired Ace gitty. Looking over your long (h/c) hair pulled over your shoulder in a braid with soft make up over your face with the Fokurodani colors mixed around your (e/c) eyes, popping your lips at the lipgloss before pulling at the shirt that had a Owl shaped window over the top of your chest that ended just before the denim shorts as the weather had turned warm. Coming out of your door with a thin long sleeved overshirt knowing that sometimes it would get cooler, looking up from your phone as you smiled brightly to see Bokuto standing there with a button up shirt laid open and a nice black tshirt tucked into his jeans that held to his thighs. His eyes widened as he noticed that you weren’t wearing your brace, and that you were walking without any kind of limp.
“ w-wh-when did this happen “ The silver haired teen stammered, smiling but completely confused as to what was happening having remembered seeing you yesterday with a brace as well still going around with the crutches. “ Well I finally for the ok to walk without needing anything yesterday, as well today.. I hope you don’t have anything planned because I have a lot planned for us “ You stated with a bright smile, Bokuto looked down at your leg then at your face before turning to follow you out the door as you headed out, he couldn’t think of what to say with seeing you not only looking so beautiful but also for you walking around without needing any help. In the taxi, you noticed his mouth open many times but everytime he would close his mouth only making you quietly laugh to yourself at his cuteness from not understanding what was going on.
The day was filled with shopping for different clothes, but what shocked Bokuto so much was that it was athletic wear. ‘ She said she wasn’t going to play Volleyball anymore, so why.. what will she do now ‘ He thought as you led him into yet another store, though now you throw a shirt and shorts to the Ace. His golden eyes looked down at the shirt and shorts before looking over to you as you searched for something, “ Y/N.. what are we doing “ Bokuto asked. Turning to look back at the Ace, “ You will see soon, for now go try that on, I’ll be out here so don’t worry.. Its not like Id just leave you “ You said with a soft smile seeing the pout from the silver haired teen as if he was thinking You would run while he was busy.
A few hours later, You slowly walked a blind folded Bokuto through a pair of doors. Sliding your finger over your lips to the others standing before you, “ You ready Kotaro “ You asked quietly and the Ace nodded unsure of why he had been blind folded in the first place. Though as it slid off his gold eyes slowly opened to look around, gasping as he realized you two stood on a volleyball court then realized that not only the boys volleyball but girls volleyball team from Fukurodani stood before him all in their gear. “ Y-Y/n, what is this “ Bokuto asked looking over to you, gasping as he saw you sliding the knee pads over your knees having remembered no matter how many times he asked you to come see him practice you said no. “ What does it look like, I thought you would want to be the first.. and someone said how much he wanted to be beside me while we took Spikes from Akaashi “ You said confidently, standing up with a wide smile at the Ace as he looked in shock from your words. The silver haired teen ran forward to hug you tightly around the neck smiling as tears streamed down his cheeks, “ Y/N, I am so happy… You don’t even know, I thought.. I didn’t think I could help you, to know what I said hit that deeply.. I am so happy “ Bokuto whispered next to your ear. Your hands laid on the sides of his ribcage, smiling as you looked over at the ace from the corner of your eye.
“ Time to play, not time to cling to her Idiot “ Konoha said as he walked up, making the Ace step back to pout at him only pulling a laugh from your lips as the two teams mixed leaving you on the same side as Bokuto and Akaashi. As the game progressed, it felt as if no matter where you were on the court all eyes were on you. When the time came for you to serve, you kept it safe and served without jumping knowing that the others would worry if you tried to much to fast. Yet when the chance ball came back over, you saw the sparkle in Bokuto’s eye and had to steal it from the ace. “ Mine “ you shouted as Akaashi started to set himself up to give it to the silver haired teen, though as you announced your intent Bokuto stopped to watch you move across the court as if waiting for you to stop or see any pain within your face. A gasp leaving his lips at watching you so easily jump to the ball that the Setter put into place for you, easily getting it over the reaching hands from the other side of the net. The thud of the ball filled the silence filled room as they all watched you land back on your feet as if waiting, though as you slowly stood up with a broad smile everyone let out a squeal of happiness rushing forward. Not before the Ace wrapped you up in his arms, lifting you up for everyone to celebrate in the recovery of the Great Eagle Owl of Fukurodani.
“ Kotaro, Slow down…” You called out as the Ace ran with you down the sidewalk laughing loudly, his wide smile seemed to only grow larger as he looked back at you. The infectiousness of his smile pulled one across your face as well, feeling how calloused his large hand was against your own callouses. How it felt to be held so firmly yet so tenderly, it was like a dream yet you had to make sure it wasn’t just that. “ Kotaro Bokuto “ You called out, stopping the silver haired teen who looked back at you. A gasp left his lips as yours pressed against his when you pulled him down, his golden eyes widened to slowly close while his arms snaked around your body pulling you close. As the kiss ended you both stood there breathless looking at the others lips, before slowly looking up to gaze into his gorgeous eyes as he stared deeply into your (e/c) eyes. “ Im glad it wasn’t a dream…because without you.. I would have been lost, I think I just might…” You whispered softly looking from his eyes to his lips before leaning in close to his ear, “ I love you Kotaro “. Bokuto gasped, watching as you set back with a blush over your lips from the boldness of your own words. The ace leaned back in to press his lips back to yours before hugging you tightly, “ I too… I love you Y/N, I have loved you for a while… but now I know I will always love you.. Come on, lets go have some Dango “ Bokuto said with his broad smile before sliding his arms back. Your eyes drifted down to your hand as you felt his large hand engulf yours, seeing his fingers slid before yours as he held your hand firmly. ‘ So this is what it feels like… ‘ You thought before taking off running with your partner as he lead you into your future…..
It has been 6 months now since you came to live with the elven king, your life shifted from being a guest to being a staple within the house. The cooks would come to you asking about new recipes, as well the maids would beg you to allow them to clean the room always stating that was the least you could go. Winter has come and gone, now it was the picking season for the kingdom. You set smiling out in the field picking some carrots and potatoes, humming quietly to yourself not realizing how late it had become. Looking up to see many of the other people who had come out to the fields with you were in fact gone, “ Oh no, I must of gotten to into picking “ You laughed then stood up wiping your forehead with the back of your hand and looking around only to gasp as an unearthly noise filled your ears. Turning quickly and screaming as the wicked smile of an orc filled your vision, the basket you carried fell to the ground as they ripped you away. Clenching your eyes closed, ‘ Thranduil ‘ You thought as they pulled you away with tears streaming down your cheeks.
“ Handsome Man “ Ezra called as she walked into the kings office, he looked up from his paperwork puzzled why the small child was coming without you. Looking up to see it was dark outside, before turning his blue eyes back to Ezra. “ Mommy never came back “ The little girl said as she came up to the side of Thranduil’s desk, causing his eyes to widen at her statement. He gently lifted her into his lap, “ What do you mean little one, she didn’t come back fro- He Began to ask but stopped as the little girl started to tear up. “ Mommy always comes back, even hurt.. She’d always come back, so why hasn’t she come back “ Ezra asked as she looked up to the king, he gently pulled her close as his eyes shifted around his desk trying to remember where you said you were going today. He quickly stood up holding Ezra as her arms wrapped around his neck, walking out of the room quickly heading for the kitchen. He asked the staff if they had seen you, then went to the armory knowing you would feel the need to help clean or fix the armor feeling like you needed to repay him for his kindness. Then finally ended up in the distillery, “ Yes My king, she went out with the other. We didn’t think anything of it, thinking you possibly found her and took her somewhere “ The elf stated then shrank back as he saw the intensity in Thranduils eyes.
The king stood silently as he tried his hardest to not think that you could of just ran away, knowing how much you and him had grown in not friendship but more. Thinking of the many times he would steal kisses from your lips when you and him would walk the garden, or the times he’d trap you in his arms to leave you breathless from his onslaught of kisses. Remembering the recent time where you slept in his bedroom, his steely blue gaze falling over your sleeping face with a smile forming on his lips and the shock as his name fell from your lips then you turning to grip his shirt even in your sleep. The calling of his knights pulled Thranduil from his thoughts, rushing over to where a basket laid spilled in between two rows of potatoes. “ Find her “ He yelled, they continued to look only to stop and look back to their king as he walked up gasping to see the foot prints of orcs. He growled and his eyes grew cold, “ Locate them “ He ordered and spun around heading back to the palace knowing ezra had fallen asleep after crying herself to sleep without you. When he came to his bedchambers, he saw her small form in the middle of the large bed sighing as he knew that when she awoke the first thing she would ask would be if you were back. ‘ What do I tell her, that her mother is lost to orcs ‘ He thought as the tall king set down on the edge of his bed, looking over at Ezra as she slept
A groan left your lips, wincing as pain shot through your arm. Your eyelids flutter open only to gasp as you felt up, crying out at the cuffs around your wrists. Your (e/c) eyes looking around the small damp room, trying to figure out how you got to this place. ‘ I was picking the vegetables for dinner when- ‘ You thought but stopped as you remember the orc grabbing you, and then hitting your head with their weapon to stop your screaming. “ It is awake “ You heard a bone chilling voice say outside of the box you were in, quickly scooting back as the door opening only to gasp loudly at the sight of a large orc stepping in the door. Trying to get as far as it was it came forward, crying out as they stepped on the chains that held your wrists so tightly. Grabbing your jaw roughly, twists your head side to side before leaning in. Looking away as their scent was a mixture of death and decay flesh, with the smell of rotting food. “ You are now mine, you will never leave here and you will fulfill your duty as a female “ The orc said with a laugh that caused a shiver to run up your spine, as the realization of what he meant sank in. It released your jaw and stepped back waving his arm then the door slam shut, you could only sit on the floor shaking at the thought of what will happen. ‘ Ezra.. Thranduil… I.. I wont ever see them again ‘ You thought then clenched your eyes closed as the tears fell.
The king stood in his throne room circling a captured orc that Legolas held, “ You will tell me where and why you have taken her “ Thranduil ordered sharply at the orc who only laughed at the elf king. “ My master wanted her “ The orc spat at the king, “ So we took her..you’ll never get her back, she’s ours now “. As it finished the words, the king who now stood before it looking across the room swung his arm that held a sword. The orcs head fell to the ground and rolled before coming to rest next to a few behind the body that the elf prince let fall to the ground, “ What is your plan “ Legolas questioned his father who came over and stepped roughly on the now dead orc seeing the look of anger in the king’s eyes. “ Track them down and bring her back to me “ Thranduil ordered as he turned and walked away from his son, “ I wont lose another one to them”. The prince jogged after his father as they headed for the armory, outfitting themselves for the long haul the king burst out from the castle on his large elk as Legolas followed behind with a dozen guards. ‘ Im coming Y/N.. I’m coming ‘ He thought, urging his elk faster as they followed the path left behind from the group of orcs as they came on the elven land. They tracked them far through the edges of the human lands to the fallen dwarf lands, they slowed as they came upon a strong hold. “ From what the trackers told me, they believe this is where Y/N is being held. We have no idea about the lay out or where in the strong hold she would be kept, I know you don’t want to wait any longer but to go in now without any more knowledge would likely end up with our men and Y/n being killed, ada “ Legolas muttered next to his father who stood on the edge of the tree line, their distance from the stronghold was to far for his liking. “ If we even catch sight of her, we go in.. with or without knowledge of the interlaying of the building “ Thranduil ordered, his son nodding to his father as they stood waiting.
A whine left your lips as one of the orcs pulled on your chains, “ Shut up human.. “ The snapped and pulled at the chains again then smirked at the pained look over your face. Another came to the door, “ Master has called for her, he said it is time for her to fulfill her duties “ The other orc said with a deviant smile and a wicked laugh. Your (e/c) eyes widened at his words, trying to pull against the chains as the one closest to you unhooked them from the ground then began to drag you from the cell. Fighting through the pain as the metal cut into your wrists, the orc that pulled you along laughed at your feeble resistance. Only yanking you forward, causing you to fall on your knees. Biting your lip hard to hide the scream that wanted to leave your lips from the rough stone slicing through the skin over your knees, blood running down your legs as you slowly got up only to be yanked forward again. The two orcs laughing at the pain they caused you, your eyes looked down at the floor trying to think of the happy times you shared with the elf king and ezra to pull you away from the terrifying things that will happen soon. With every room you passed, or stair case you ascended dread seeped into your mind. Poisoning it, making all of the happiness you tried to conjure just disappear. Til finally you were pulled up the last set of stairs to where you saw the cloudy sky from above, looking around only to whine at the yank from the orc and look ahead. A shiver of fear ran up your spine seeing the orc before you, there was multiple wargs with other orcs standing around the edges watching as you were drug forward. The orc yanked you forward and threw you down before the larger one, causing you to fall to the ground crying out in pain as your torn open knees were ripped into more and the stones cut the palms of your hands. “ Good, scream little human.. it will make this more fun “ The orc growled as he stepped off his seat, moving closer as you shrank back. Clenching your eyes closed, ‘ Thandruil… save me ‘ You thought as you waited for the orc to grab you.
The sound of arrows flying filled your ears, as well the sounds of bodies thudding to the ground. Knowing that sound well from the past, flinching with every thud around you only to scream as you felt someone grab you. Relaxing as you knew the smell of the person before you, slowly opening your eyes to see Thranduil kneeled before you. He was looking around as his hands held your shoulders gently, before turning back to see the tears rolling down your cheeks. “ Oh Y/N, I thought I lost you “ He muttered, pulling you tightly into his arms as the other elves around him fought the other orcs. “ Its you, its really you. I didn’t die and this is just the last memory I see “ You mumble softly into his shirt, making the elf king squeeze you tighter to his frame. “ No.. It is me Y/N, I am right here… You are safe” Thranduil whispered against your ear, making the fear.. dread..despair and hopelessness in your body just fall away. Sobbing uncontrollably into his chest, gripping the back of his robes tightly afraid if you let you even a little that he would disappear from in front of you. The king slid his arm around your lower back and under the backside of your knees before standing up, the knights made a circle around the king and prince as they headed down the stairs. “ My king… thank yo-“You mumble softly, only to go quiet as the last of your energy faded and fell limb in Thranduil’s arms who looked down at you worried til he saw the raising and falling of your chest. He sighed softly, leaning down to kiss your forehead gently. “ I will always come Y/N “ He affirmed to not only you, but to himself knowing he had fallen so deeply for you yet tried to deny it.
“Handsome man, handsome man.. she’s waking up “ Ezra exclaimed loudly, making your head throb at the volume of her voice. Slowly your (e/c) eyes opened narrowly, looking around to see Ezra beside you on the bed as well Thranduil walk up from the other side. A soft smile came to your lips, “ I worried you were a dream then “ You spoke softly with tears forming in the edge of your eyes as the memory of it all came back. “ Ssshhhh. Its ok Y/N, I’m here. I will be right here “ the king said softly as he took your hand in both of his and kissed the knuckles of your fingers as his steely blue eyes looked over your face. He leaned in, kissing the edges of your eyes to pull the tears from them and gently laying his forehead to yours. “ I will always come rescue the queen of the realm “ Thranduil muttered then set back, looking over your face as you laid there. Smirking softly as your eyes widened as the words sank in, “ Wait what, what do you mean the queen of the realm. I could never.. nor would I ever be good enough for that “ You stammered out as you tried to sit up only to whine at the pain from your hands. Looking down to see light bandages around the palm of your hand, “ We did our best to patch them up, but with that location and with how much movement is in that area it can be hard for it to heal quickly “ The king explained as he slid on the bed beside you. Bringing your bandaged palm to his lips, kissing it gently before looking over your face. “ You can say you don’t want to be, but if you believe yourself not worthy of it. I know a few different people in the palace that would argue that fact, you have helped many different people here and you have helped me not be so serious per Legolas “ Thranduil spoke as he looked between your eyes, lifting his hand to wipe the tears that formed in your eyes from his kind words.
You walked down the hallway reading one of the few books you could from the library, smiling as you passed a maid who bowed her head to you. Heading to the throne room, lifting the front of your skirt as you walked up the staircase that lead to where Thranduil spent his time. Knocking on the door, “ Come in “ His voice rang out from the other side of the large doors. You opened the door and looked up from the book to see Ezra standing there with a small wooden sword, the king holding one as well letting the young girl try to strike him. “ To the left ezra, the king is weaker to the left “ You called out as you walked around the outer edge of the throne room, coming to the stairs that led to Thranduils throne and setting down on the first one. “ That is quite unfair Y/N, telling her my weakness “ The king complained as he looked over at you, not even having to look at the young girl to block her repeated strikes. Your (e/c) eyes drifted up from the book you had laying over the tops of your legs, “ No my king, to tell her your weakness would tell her mine as well. I simply tried to give her a slight advantage over a being who is many years older then her “ You teased knowing recently your relationship with the king has become more explicit in nature. Remembering how you two nearly had your first time together, only to have Ezra burst in and ask why the king was wrestling with you. Thranduil blushed softly then coughed before turning his attention back to ezra, who tried her best to strike the king only to be parried away from his body. You smirked, gently laying the book down before pushing yourself off the step you set on. Walking over to Thranduil, running your fingers down his arm as his steely eyes looked over at you wondering what you were up to. Gently sliding your hand over the side of his chest and walking behind the king to the other side, distracting him from Ezra before him. The young girl squealed as the stick made contact with Thranduil’s stomach, he stood there blinking quickly. Looking down at the stick, then over at you as you laughed quietly. “ Oh you vixen “ He muttered with a smirk.
Later in the day after dinner, and the stories that the king read nightly to Ezra. You stood on the balcony of the kings room, a shawl laid over the thin silk night gown as the coldness of the night warned of the fall that seemed on the doorstep of the realm. Gasping softly as two arms slid around your body from behind, only to laugh quietly as thranduil’s chin rested on your shoulder. “ So my little Vixen, that was quite the dirty trick you played “ He mumbled, turning his head to place his lips against the side of your neck. Pulling a soft groan from between your full lips, as your eyes closed and your head laid to the side giving the king more access to your skin. “ Oh was it, I wasn’t just giving someone attention “ You teased with a light smirk on your lips, only to whine as the king growled against your skin. “ My..my, how reactive you are. I wonder if the rest of you is the same way “ Thranduil muttered softly, spinning you in his arms. Pulling the shawl from your shoulders, then pushing the thin straps of the gown from your shoulders as it fell down over the top of your full breasts and down over your thick hips. Leaving you naked before the king, who growled almost primally at you from how exquisitely you looked before him. “ Tonight you will become the true queen of the realm, with or without the title my dear “ Thranduil stated as he stepped forward to press his lips passionately against yours, his arms reaching down to lift you up and set you on the thick stone railing before drawing himself close to you. Your body melted into one with the king as the night became day, laying in Thranduils arms as you both laid there breathing heavily. “ I didn’t think you could be any cuter, but I was quite wrong because you looked so gorgeously beautiful accepting all of me “ The king said softly, leaning over to kiss your forehead.
Days became weeks, and weeks became months. You set on the kings bed reading over some paperwork he left before heading to the shower, looking up from it as Thranduil came out with a smile on his cheek seeing the enlarged belly you tried to hide behind the blanket pulled up to your chest. “ Didn’t I ask a certain queen to be to keep resting, not sit up and read over the reports from the crops from this harvest “ The king reprimanded as he walked up to the side of the bed, leaning over it to kiss your cheek then pull the papers from your hand. “ Hey, I wasn’t done with those “ you complained with a pout, making Thranduil smirk only to lean in to kiss your lips. “ I wasn’t done with you last night yet you fell asleep on me “ The king growled playfully, laughing quietly as your cheeks turned bright red. The door burst open, making the king set back only to see it was Ezra with Aego following behind. “ Excuse me My king, and My lady. Miss Ezra said that you would need to eat soon as her baby sibling would likely be hungry “ The cook stated as he walked in with the tray of food, walking to the opposite side of the bed from the king and setting the tray down next to you. “ Please enjoy Lady Y/N “ Aego said with a smile, bowing his head to you and Thranduil then turned and left the room. Ezra skipped over to the bed, climbing up to set next to you as your arm slid around her. “ Mommy, I am so happy. I cant wait to see them, they need to hurry up and come out “ She exclaimed, leaning down to press her head to the side of your swollen belly. “ yes they do Ezra, I want to meet them as well “ Thranduil added, leaning down to kiss the side of your belly to also lay his head on your stomach. Making you laugh quietly, looking down at the two then thinking about
“ Y/N hurry up, we need to get to the store before they run out of my favorite danish “ Loki called from the doorway like an excited puppy ready to go on a walk, you just shook your head at the god of mischief. Though it had been a while since he had acted on his impulses, you still kept a close eye on the raven haired man before you. “ Yes, Yes I apologize for needing pants oh god of impatience “ You said with a smirk as you slid the coat over your shoulders then rushed out the door.
It had been nearly a year since you found the injured god outside your apartment, not knowing at that time that he was in fact a god. His company is thought provoking and also mind numbing, even now he was reciting a poet who you had never heard of yet the passion in his voice brought a smile to your lips as you listened. Then you saw them, the person who in your past made it almost unbearable to live. Your (e/c) eyes widened in horror as they also noticed you, a deviant smirk slipped over their lips. Your feet stuck to the sidewalk, slipping your arm from loki’s which caused him to turn and see the terror in your eyes.
“Y/N.. what’s wrong, are you ok “ The Panicked god asked as he grabbed your upper arms, causing you to flinch as your mind was flooded with the pain you endured. They began to walk toward you and loki, unnoticed by the raven haired man. Who shook you gently and stepped in your line of sight, making you snap from your thoughts to look up and see the worry within loki’s eyes. Before you could even open you mouth to explain your abuser was next to loki, “ Looking good Y/N “ The man said as if a snake was his tongue with the venon within each syllable. The raven haired god watched as you shrunk back from the man, he moved to place himself between you and this mysterious man who frightened you so much.
The mans eyes moved from you to loki as anger flared within his green eyes, “ Care to move buddy, I have to speak with her “ He said then went to move past loki. A long golden spear stopped him, the males eyes turned back to loki to see his green eyes glowing. “ You will do no such thing, you will walk away or find this spear within your chest “ The god said so sternly, even you straightened up at his words.” Are you threatening me “ The man said before stepping into loki’s face, which only caused the god to smirk. “ It is not a threat if I do it “ The god stated then allowed his clothes to change to his Asgard robes, pulling a knife from his belt. “ This will find its way to your liver “ Loki threatened with a terrifying smile.
“ Loki.. Loki.. Its ok, lets go “ You muttered sheepishly, wanting to get away from the other male. Tugging gently on the edge of loki’s jacket, he spins quickly to face you. “ As you wish “ He spoke softly, the abuser tried to say more but dropped to the ground in the form of a rat. “ Now lets go get that food and go watch that crime show you love “ Loki said to pull you from the thought he could see were dancing around in your head, you nodded as he lead you away.
The god of Mischief was like a small child when he got his danish, a broad smile feel on your lips as you knew how lucky you were to have him in your life. “ I love you “ You said boldly to the raven haired man, a blush crossed his cheeks as he turned to look at you. Before he could reply you placed your lips on his, causing him to pull you flush to his body. He broke the kiss to look over your face, “ I love you til the end of time “ He whispered then placed his soft sweet lips again yours..
