Hello there dear viewer! This blog is a place where all of us theater/english nerds can come together to geek out about all our classic faves. I'll mainly be shit-posting about shakespeare or greek mythology (especially the odyssey and iliad) but i'd love to hear about yours too! (i might even check it out for myself if i haven't already)

โฎโห headcanons about rin being an in denial lover boy who would rather die than admit he's actually capable of romantic feelings (which in this case are for you)
-> cw/additional notes; fluff, potentially ooc, hcs/drabbles, gn! reader, super short, pre-bluelock but can also be read as no bluelock au if you squint, title taken from the absolute BANGER number from disney's hercules (megara my love)

Thinking about ITOSHI RIN being the type of guy who would rather tread through the fiery depths of hell before ever admitting he liked someone, not that he does at the moment, it's just a dumb hypothetical (as he would say).
Having a crush on someone takes far too much emotional vulnerability that Rin has long since forsaken.
Which is exactly why he doesn't have a crush on anyone, much less you.
...Not that you're a bad person by any means- in fact, by Rin's standards you're far above lukewarm, maybe even tolerable to be around if he's feeling generous.
And you're not that hideous either. You're actually quite attractive-
...from an objective standpoint of course. You were conventionally attractive. That's a fact, no biases or internal feelings at play obviously. He wasn't blind.
Thinking about ITOSHI RIN being so entranced and enamoured with you to the point where it affects his day by day performance. So much so that everyone notices. He's less crabby around his teammates, not as gloomy when he gets home, even his teachers note that he's "less of an asshole than usual" Which to most people sounds like the bare fucking minimum, but when you factored in that this behaviour was from Rin Itoshi- it was a damn miracle.
Thinking about ITOSHI RIN actually being civil around you- no glaring, no scowls, no referring to you as a "lukewarm bitch" under his breath- just Rin acting like a normal, quiet, kid around you. You just think he's another classmate, you don't mind him. He's decent, lends you pencils and erasers and sometimes explains topics that you don't fully understand in class.
You think this is normal, what you don't realize however, is the way you make him think. That strange fluttery sensation in his chest that actually makes him feel...pleasant? Nice? Happy even? And it's always around you- some pretty person in his class that he can't seem to get his mind off of.
Thinking about ITOSHI RIN grimacing every time he walks by you and your friends (by pure coincidence, he totally doesn't go out of his way to pass by you in the halls, and he most definitely didn't memorize all your friends - he's just observant) because every single time he does it's always whispers of "Why is Itoshi so nice to you? Did you save his life or somethin'?" And it would always be followed by an agonizingly adorable nervous chuckle and a short, sweet, response of;
"What do you mean? Isn't he like that around everyone? I think he's sweet."
Thinking about ITOSHI RIN never letting your words leave his mind. The thought that someone perceived him as normal- much less sweet- brought back that same fluttery feeling. He chalked it up to; "genuine (purely platonic) appreciation for a tolerable person with a decent personality and very pretty face"
And that pure faith in that thought is exactly what led him to watching several videos online that always had a title along the lines of; "How to Tell if You Have a Crush" "10 Signs You Might be in Love" "5 Benefits to Having a Crush" and "How to Tell if Your Crush Likes You Back."
And the one he was watching as of right now; "Do You Actually Like Them? (Even if You Think You Don't)" which contained several questions for the viewer to answer to see if they did like whoever they were thinking of.
Which Rin didn't. This was just out of curiousity. Nothing wrong or amiss with that- he didn't like you.
...though watching one more video couldn't hurt.
1. Do you find them physically attractive?
Of course Rin did. He wasn't blind. You were very pretty. But you don't need to have romantic feelings for someone to acknowledge that they were good looking. So what if he stared at you a lot during class? That's just aesthetic appreciation.
2. Do they get you excited?
...Well talking to you did make him rather excited. But it didn't mean anything! It was just nice to be able to have a conversation with someone without said someone making Rin want to tear his ears off. And maybe his heart did skip a beat whenever you asked him how his walk to school was, or if he had any plans after classes, or how his games went, but that was just him appreciating your basic manners! Nothing more. 100% totally pure (EXCLUSIVELY) platonic appreciation for you.
3. Do you get nervous around them?
Yes- but that didn't mean anything. People get nervous all the time.
4. Did you think of them while watching this video?
...
Thinking about ITOSHI RIN absolutely losing his shit after this and being way more flustered around you for the next few weeks, because maybe he is in love (yet he would still rather DIE than say it.)
โฎโห just headcanons/some short drabbles about how karasu would be if he had a hallway crush on you
-> cw/additional notes; fluff, potentially ooc, hcs/drabbles, gn! reader, super short, trying out this new hc format that i've been seeing a lot! (esp by my wonderful mutual @kenyuukissme <3)
dividers by @aquazero
Thinking about KARASU TABITO with a hallway crush that reduces him to the most lovesick, pathetic, person ever-not that he lets anyone catch onto that.
No, he's way too clever (and too proud) to show that he's actively messing up his schedule just to see you every chance he can get.
"Yeah man, can we head this way? I forgot something in one of the music rooms upstairs." Varying versions of this excuse would always fall on his friends ears, he would purposefully leave something somewhere, and he'd drag his friend of choice with him, just for a brief glance at you.
He memorized bits of your schedule, yhabits, your homeroom, your locker. Not that he was a stalker per se, he was just observant. Especially when it came to pretty faces that caught his eye in the halls (again, not that he would ever admit it.)
His little infatuation is something of a guilty pleasure he indulges in every now and then. Letting his gaze linger a little longer on you when no one was watching. Getting a bit too close so your shoulders would brush every time he passed by. He was becoming a mediocre puppy like fool all because of a pretty face, it was rather pathetic.
Scratch that, it was very pathetic, and yet he can't help being so drawn to you, so enamoured, so absolutely and utterly entranced by your mere being. He can easily pick your voice from a crowd, and oh how he loathes it.
He's a bit cynical about love, most of the couples he saw in passing at school hardly ever made it past a year, much less past graduation. He was focused on becoming the very best, he didn't have time to explore a stupid hallway crush.
And yet every glance, every hopeful wish that maybe, just maybe, you would one day look his way, has him falling even harder and faster. And if you actually talked to him?
Lord, he'd be done for.
lmao, I actually quite like this style for HCS/drabbles, helps me get my ideas out quickly and easily without a single oneshot rotting in my drafts for MONTHS on end
even though school just started again for me, i'm not that busy with work so i'll try to stay consistent!
as per usual, taglist is open, and lmk if you want your username to be used!
(also does anyone wanna be a scara defender? please? PLEASE-)
หเญจเญงโ๏ฝก synopsis: ย the bright lights of fame and fortune arenโt for everyone, and youโre starting to think youโre part of that majority. You just canโt seem to catch a break! Every movie youโre in goes straight to DVD, every album you drop just barely gets any streams. From child star to sub par popstar, it seems clear that the world has some kind of vendetta against you and you love to blame it on a certain rising musical sensation; Scaramouche. Thanks to your godforsaken luck you happened to go out with the wrong guy at the wrong time because he just so happened to be Scaramoucheโs ex, next thing you know you wake up to truck loads of death threats, your record label dropping you, AND a whole album labelling you as the โother womanโ! After what seemed like a never ending onslaught of straight bullying and harassment, you had long since retreated from the limelight, the only thing left from your music career being ever so occasional covers on YouTube that only your few close friends watched religiously. However, after writing a heartfelt original piece and uploading it from your humble bedroom, it goes viral! A single song has thrusted you head first into stardom once more, and face to face with the person you ruined it for you.
Kunikuzushi Raiden-known professionally by his stage name SCARAMOUCHE- is often hailed as the voice of his generation. Getting his start in his debut acting role in the hit young adult fantasy show SIMULANKA, where his performance received much critical acclaim-though there was a clear general consensus that "he's certainly talented, but it's clear [his] passion lies else where." As so wonderfully stated by the Narukami Journal. After a huge dating drama with his ex Aether, SCARAMOUCHE subsequently dropped his debut album 'SOUR' to major success and major speculation of who certain tracks were about. Loved for both his relatable music and unapologetic attitude, SCARAMOUCHE has become a household name and a fan favourite for young people all over the globe.
-> VEE'S NOTES
sns! scara is inspired by the one and only miss olivia rodrigo! (naturally)
his stage name is stylized in all caps because he's just extra like that
i was thinking about having him star in a hsmtmts type thing, but then I got the idea that simulanka could basically be a ya fantasy show that he starred in! (cuz he WAS basically the mc in the quest lmao)
-> WHAT DOES EVERYONE SAY ABOUT AJAX TARTAGLIA?
"Executive of the year!" As billboard claims him. Both Scaramouche's child(e)hood friend and manager, Childe-known professionally by his real name, is the backbone of Scaramouche's career. Ever since Scaramouche has transitioned from the acting world to the music industry, he's been under Childe's management following his signing under FATUI Records.
-> VEE'S NOTES
sns! childe is inspired by olivia rodrigo's manager aleen keshishian! (who actually had an article about her called executive of the week by billboard which is where I got the first comment from)
despite remaining friends their whole lives, scara wasn't under childe's management until becoming a singer, prior to that he was under his mother's management (something quite common for child actors)
-> WHAT DOES EVERYONE SAY ABOUT LUMINE PEREGRINE?
"A queer ICON!" as hailed by TVT News, "Taking the world by storm since her (re)debut!" says the Mondstadt Times and "An overnight success 10 years in the making!" According to Billboard. Ever since she opened for Scaramouche's GUTS tour, Lumine has been pushed head first into the spotlight with hits like 'Good Luck, Babe!' and 'HOT TO GO!' quickly becoming a superstar after a decade of hard work and waiting, and it's clear that her newfound stardom is here to stay.
-> VEE'S NOTES
sns! lumine is inspired by chappell roan!
wlw lumine ml
her last name here-peregrine-is latin for traveler! felt very suiting for her and aether
also lmao not scara being besties with his ex's SISTER, bro is trying to sabotage every relationship that guy has
-> WHAT DOES EVERYONE SAY ABOUT SHIKANOIN HEIZOU?
"Respectful about subject matter, educational, AND hilarious all at the same time, what can't this guy do?" Writes RITOU Insider. Heizou's a well loved content creator for the reason. Host of the ROTTEN MELONS podcast where he discusses all things true crime, his quick wit yet sense of decorum when discussing all of the cases makes him a favourite, both in and out of his fanbase.
-> VEE'S NOTES
sns! heizou is inspired by stephanie soo and matpat on yt!
he mainly dabbles in true crime stuff like stephanie, but I can see him occasionally doing theories like matpat does when he feels like it
rotten melons is a nod to the og rotten mangos podcast! (the melons part come from the lavender melons in inazuma!)
-> WHAT DOES EVERYONE SAY ABOUT CHARLOTTE GAGNEPETIT?
"Hi! I'm Charlotte Gagnepetit! I'm both a journalist for TVT News, and the owner of the STEAMBIRD, my person YouTube channel. One way or another, you've probably seen something of mine whether you realize it or not. Maybe you've read an article I've written, or you've seen me talk about one or two problematic celebrities, either way, I hope you continue enjoying my stuff!" -Charlotte, TVT News
-> VEE'S NOTES
please tell me you guys also think it's smart that Charlotte wrote her own intro...
like c'mon with me taking quotes from in universe news sources and her literally being a WRITER for one of those-
anyways sns! charlotte is inspired by those YouTubers that usually make video essays about celebrity drama, and I got the idea to make Charlotte one from cococrazy on YouTube! (she mainly covers other content creators though)
her and heizou collab a lot
-> WHAT'S DOES EVERYONE SAY ABOUT LYNETTE HEARTH?
Formerly the other half of a sensational teen idol duo with her twin brother, Lynette actually never wanted to be in the spotlight. Despite being a fairy successful child actress and idol with her brother, Lynette shied away from the bright lights of success in favor of a more behind the scenes type role. She moved to Broadway just like Lyney did, but to rather write musicals and help create them, instead of being one the star in them. After her success on the stage, she was eventually signed to FATUI Records and became a composer, and helping a certain pre-debut Scaramouche on SOUR, clearly being credited as his main creative partner.
-> VEE'S NOTES
sns! lynette is inspired by daniel nigro, and if you don't know, he's the composer who helped olivia on both sour and guts!
her and lyney are also partially inspired by the olsen twins! (with their twin actor thing going on)
additional notes:
PROFILES ARE DONE
THEY ARE HERE AND THEY ARE GLORIOUS
took me a while but @dreadfulcannotexplainsituations FINALLY has the opps
(LMAO the GC name is more of a joke poking fun at scara, they're nice guys DW)
anyways, as per usual, taglist is open, lmk if you wanna be fans!
this time let me know if you want to be scara DEFENDERS, venti has enough haters and I need people who actually like him

A single song has thrusted you head first into stardom once more, and face to face with the person you ruined it for you.
"Pop sensation of the summer!" Seems to be a title synonymous with your name, ever since the release of your hit single "Espresso", every comment about your so-called homewrecking has been eradicated. "From sub-par popstar to a musical sensation!" Labels TVT News. "An absolute darling and sweetheart!" As the Monstadt Times proclaim. After your heartfelt piece 'all because I liked a boy' went viral, the industry just can't seem to get enough of you and your side of the story! Both new and old fans alike are drawn to your down-to earth demeanor, and how approachable you are, even after going back to being signed to a record label!
-> VEE'S NOTES
inspired by the one and only sabrina carpenter of course! (no surprise there)
-> WHAT DOES EVERYONE SAY ABOUT VENTI BARBATOS?
"THE up and coming composer!" and "How the hell is this guy not on Broadway yet?" are terms of praise that Venti is all too familiar with. Composing a whole mythology based musical all by himself is no easy feat, if you're a theater kid, you've most definitely heard of him! Attracting both folklore enthusiasts and musical enjoyers, with Venti's skyrocketing popularity, many are questioning how he hasn't made it to the big stage already. Is he playing it safe? A desire for complete creative autonomy that no studio could ever give him? Or maybe he just knows his worth and wants to make the big names in the industry beg a little more. "Always an enigma, that modern day bard!" Writes DANDELION WEEKLY.
-> VEE'S NOTES
the au equivalent jorge rivera-herrans!
teyvat the musical is basically this world's epic (it's based of the archon war)
-> WHAT DOES EVERYONE SAY ABOUT FURINA DE FONTAINE?
Furina is the IT girl of the acting industry, she's done it all! She's starred in both blockbuster movies and award winning live productions, offering both heartbreaking and inspiring performances! Starting her career at a young age, it's very clear that both her natural talent and dedication have played key parts in her success. Even after announcing her retirement from the acting scene, she's still remained in the industry as a director, lending her artistic vision to many critically acclaimed films. "Even after all her career changes, it's safe to say Furina de Fontaine will remain an influential figure in both the film and theater world!" - TVT News
-> VEE'S NOTES
furina isn't inspired by anyone in particular, she's just iconic like that!
-> WHAT DOES EVERYONE SAY ABOUT LYNEY HEARTH?
Formerly one half of a sensational teen idol duo with his twin sister, Lyney's path to stardom was one he's always tread on since a young age. During the occasional acting jobs he took with Lynette in their youth, he found a passion for the art and eventually pursued it after the pair disbanded, quickly getting cast in a variety of live productions and musicals alike thanks to his talent for performing and his charming way of interacting with a live audience. Contrary to popular belief, him and his sister are still quite close, but,"One of them's just more of a recluse than the other." States POISSON Weekly
-> VEE'S NOTES
while lyney in this au isn't inspired by anyone in particular, the twin actor thing was kinda inspired by the olsen twins? even though that wasn't their main thing here lmao
-> WHAT DOES EVERYONE SAY ABOUT KAEDEHARA KAZUHA?
"If only he was a lyricist, everyone would have some serious competition if he was." writes Sakura Media in their latest author centric piece about Kazuha. Thanks to both his gentle demeanor and heartfelt yet insightful way with words, he's become a recognizable name in many literary circles, his works being incredibly appreciated by critics and casual fans alike. Despite being exclusively a poet at the moment, a huge portion of his fanbase are hoping he pursues other forms of writing such as song writing, or even producing his own book series one day!
-> VEE'S NOTES
a while ago my TikTok fyp was filled with a bunch of people reading out their poems to their cameras, and that's kinda how I imagine kazuha got his start to becoming a well known author?
there's no particular poet on there that I could imagine Kazuha having a similar writing style too, but @/raeganspoetry on TikTok/Instagram was the first social media poet I was into so she deserves her props!
-> WHAT DOES EVERYONE SAY ABOUT SANGONOMIYA KOKOMI?
"The definition of brains of beauty." Is a frequently compliment Kokomi receives from her loyal followers. Her unique content style that's a combination of both historical video essays and GRWMs have set her apart from others like her. Her calm and collected personality combined with how well spoken she is make her a treat to watch, and have earned her a devoted fanbase over her career.
-> VEE'S NOTES
kokomi being both a beauty guru and one of those YouTubers that makes video summaries on things like wars and major historical events just MAKE SENSE to me
"grwm while I talk about guerilla warfare! (sponsored by laneige!)"
sns! kokomi is actually inspired by two of my favourite YouTubers!
overly sarcastic productions and oversimplified !! (check them out if you haven't already!)
additional notes:
FIRST PROFILES DONE (the format I went with required me to write quite a bit, so I didn't want to upload both the y/n and scara profiles at the same time since I want to go to quality over quantity while also maintaining my dailyish upload schedule)
also because I still want to keep you guys in suspense for scara's friend group LMAOO
anyways taglist is still open, ask to be tagged and lmk if I can use your usernames as fans in later chapters!

i wanted to post this chapter yesterday but i'm SUPER sick right now so staring at a screen was basically a death sentence for me
so to make it up to you guys I wanted to make this chapter longer than I originally wanted it to be!
i was debating whether I wanted to release to prologue or the profiles first, but seeing as how scara's fg isn't relevant yet (and how y/n's entire gc was shown in the second teaser, I decided on uploading the prologue first!
and part of me also want you guys to guess some of the irl equivalents to some of the characters here!
aka half of them
only half of y/n friend group (including y/n mind you) are essentially au versions of another celebrity/semi famous person
so leave your guesses in my ask box/comments!
anyways LMAO other random notes
while this smau won't be an exact one to one of how the music industry works (ie me taking creative liberties with fontinalia being based off of broadway records even though it functions VERY differently from the source) I do like to include accurately depicted parts of it when I can!
when Beidou was talking about qixing showing an interest in y/n, the A&R team that she mentioned is a very real part of any record label!
A&R stands for artists and repertoire, and it's basically a fancy term for talent scouts who find new artists to sign to the label they work for!
anyways lmao this was a VERY long a/n, so thanks for reading all that if you did
as per usual, taglist is always open and please let me know if you want to have a cameo as a fan username (and thank you to all the people who let me use their's as fans in this chapter!)
also let me know if any of y'all are comfortable with being scara haters, venti can't keep doing the work for you

-> so I mainly got my semi amount of fame on here due to my genshin smaus, and I thought I may as well impart my wisdom onto aspiring smau authors because lord knows I needed someone like that when I was starting out!
rules:
ask me whatever you want!
^^ must be smau related ofc
be nice in my ask box/it might take me a while to answer if I'm busy so don't spam me with the same question!
even though all my longer smaus are genshin ones, my advice is meant to be generalized! even if you aren't a genshin author don't be afraid to ask me!
i'm not a professional writer by any means, so don't take my advice as if i'm an expert! I just want to help some newer authors/writers who want to try something new learn from my past mistakes/experience!
even though this is part of an event, you can honestly ask me for tips and tricks whenever you want!

-> THIS EVENT WILL PROBABLY RUN INTO THE END OF MARCH, DON'T BE AFRAID TO INTERACT/PARTICIPATE!
๐๐๐ ๐ต๐๐ would be 100% confident that heโll bag you no sweatโ so he put off the planning till 3 days before valentines.
๐๐๐ ๐ต๐๐ then starts panicking.
๐๐๐ ๐ต๐๐ paces around the room, digging for anything he could give you or use as an ask-out
๐๐๐ ๐ต๐๐ realizes he has nothing (bc heโs poor as hell.)- maybe a few fancy perfumes from Vein, but theyโre all opened ๐
๐๐๐ ๐ต๐๐ gets lazy and throws them in the brown paper bag he got while grocery shopping anyway
buuuuut ๐๐๐ ๐ต๐๐ realizes who heโs confessing to (the love of his live who heโd be very depressed over if he fumbled)
Soooo ๐๐๐ ๐ต๐๐ he calls up Vein and heโs basically crying over the phone over how youโre going to reject him and how heโs too poor for you (there is not a big wage gap between you two ๐) Vein thought he was drunkโฆ
Vein finds the situation pretty amusing, but he wants ๐๐๐ ๐ต๐๐ to be happy so he sends over a goooood chunk of moneyย
๐๐๐ ๐ต๐๐ had originally wanted to spend his own money so that iโd be 100% his work to confess, but then he counted his money and took the funds dreadfully
Vein asks him what heโs gonna get you, and ๐๐๐ ๐ต๐๐ ends up going running on a list of all your favourite things. He didnโt realize he was doing it, he was really just brainstorming aloud.ย
Usually Veinโs the expert when it comes to all things fancy, but ๐๐๐ ๐ต๐๐ takes the lead this time, dipping into all your favourite stores buying restocks of all your favourite products (that you never mentionedโฆ?)
Before ๐๐๐ ๐ต๐๐ realises, heโs spent all the money Vien gave him (which to be fair wasnโt that muchโฆ?)ย
Soo ๐๐๐ ๐ต๐๐ goes back home to start arranging everything!!ย
๐๐๐ ๐ต๐๐ Carefully padding your gifts with pink tissue paper, handwriting a letter, making sure the folds are neat and sharp, wrapping everything with ribbon.
Annnnd before he knew it, ๐๐๐ ๐ต๐๐ fell asleep. On your gifts.
๐๐๐ ๐ต๐๐ woke up realizing he doesnโt actually have a plan.
๐ป๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ started casually dropping questions like โare you running out on any products?โ and โWhat are your thoughts on these flowers? They rot pretty fast, but theyโre beautiful while they lastโ months before valentines. youโve completely forgotten about them
Other things like your favourite foods, plushies, and in general what sort of things youโd want ๐ป๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ knew already, picking out gifts was no sweat
๐ป๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ started stocking up on gifts and making reservations way before you even thought about valentines
๐ป๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ bought you a fancy dress for the occasion too! And ofcourse it matched his suit.
On the day, ๐ป๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ either made you breakfast himself, or doordashed it if he couldnโt make it
You had bought a few things for ๐ป๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ too, and handmade some others. You knew it wouldnโt be anywhere near the value of the hundreds heโd spend on you, but stillโ you had to do something.
But in ๐ป๐๐ ๐๐๐๐โs eyes, the bouquet and plushie you got him were everything. He toned down his smile to a normal one so you wouldnโt think heโs that down bad for you (he is. He very much is.) He really couldnโt hold back his smile, kept looking at the plushie and squeezing it while itโs hand like it was a mini you. Omg heโd take such good care of it.
๐ป๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ did all the stuff the ideal boyfriend would.ย
Cute dinner date (candle lit at your favourite fancy restaurant), pulled out your chair (like the gentleman he is), takes the prettiest photos, wiped crumbs off your lips, gave u his jacket when you got cold, everything.ย
You felt like your face was going to overheat and die.
But really- ๐ป๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ was much more giddy than you were. Just better at hiding it.
And ofcourse ๐ป๐๐ ๐๐๐๐'s pride was inflated a bit, knowing how fast your heart was beating
(this is a side note, but heโd literally know exactly when ur uncomfy bc of his ability)
Ended the day either gazing at the stars on a picnic blanket, or just watching a movie at home. Because obviously he prepared two plans, depending on how tired you felt at that point ;)
๐๐ผ๐โ
๐ ๐๐๐ remembered to plan something once he heard some of his workers gushing over what their boyfriends were going to do for valentines, or who they were hoping would ask them out
๐ ๐๐๐ wasnโt a huge festive person (unless it was for โCannibal Appreciation Dayโ which he took a weird amount of happiness in- and you didnโt even know about until he asked you to celebrate it with him) given his busy schedule, but he knew you were, so ๐ ๐๐๐ figured it be worth taking a day off from work.
๐ ๐๐๐ saw no need to busy his hands, so he told his assistants exactly what flowers to get (including how many, the ribbon, wrapping, and which florist to get it from), where to book reservations (in the best tables of course. And he wouldโve rented out the restaurant, but he knew youโd feel awkward just staring at him in a completely empty dinner, and feel bad that heโd literally ruin every other coupleโs plans ๐) and everything else
๐ ๐๐๐ went to buy a perfume for you in person (since you donโt truly โunderstand a scentโ unless you smell it for yourself) (his words not mine). ๐ ๐๐๐ knew exactly what scent he was going for. A base note of Vanilla, a heart note of Cinnamon, and a headnote of Lemon.ย
Or if there was something else that screamed โyouโ, he wouldnโt be able to resist buying it for you.ย
๐ ๐๐๐ ended up putting in a custom order, just for you. He admitted that he probably shouldnโt be doing everything less than a week before the big day, but with enough money anything is possible.
He reviewed the (very big) bouquet once it had arrived as well, just to make sure it was good enough for you.
๐ ๐๐๐ had everything had been set up. A fully glammed out limbo, and Blackcard(s) ready for you. Now he just had to wait til tomorrow, show up at your door and oh so charismatically as you out.
Yup, ๐ ๐๐๐ was done for the day. So he packed his bag and prepared to leave the office. Uuuuunntill one of his assistants said someone had requested his โimmediate presenceโย ย
So ๐ ๐๐๐ irritatedly threw on a smile and opened the doors to the small room (that wasnโt meant to be a meeting room- it was more of a closet? But his closets are huge so itโs not that bad)
โHm? Who wanted to see me?โ
The door was then slammed behind him by the previous assistant. Vein flicked the lights on immediately, to know what the hell was going on.
He then had a heart attack and died.ย
Boohoo.
Kidding (i love vein guys pls believe me).
It was you! With a bouquet of your own flowers and a small gift bag. Standing awkwardly in the middle of the room.
A few moments of silence followed, while you tried to find your words and ๐ ๐๐๐ looked at you with utmost curiosity.
"Awww!! Did you do all this for me? You really didn't have to~"
"I felt like I should- since you do so much for me... Don't think too much of it."
He ate the flowers.
(Yea ok I got a bit lazy here- mb chat !!)
A/N: woohoo time to feed the ever so starved linkclick x reader community (and vee who's probably gonna note this js to support me even if she doesn't watch lc lmao) (love ya vega <3)
> Please leave a comment and follow if you want more content!!!
He shifted in your arms, shuffling slightly as he groaned, eyes still closed and groggy. The awakening sun filtered through the curtains, illuminating your figure. His eyes finally fluttered open, just to take in your presence.
You were like an angel.
You noticed him staring and set down the book you were holding. His gaze followed the way your soft hands moved, the way they quickly shifted from holding the piece of literature to cupping his face.
You smiled, sweet, warm and full of the same kindness he had fallen in love with.
"Good morning darling, did you have a nice rest?"
He let out a content sigh as your affection, leaning into your touch as you held him with such love and care.
"I slept well. I had the most wonderful dream last night too..."
"Really now?"
He nodded, still groggy, but motivated enough to stay awake for you, even if the soft covers were calling out to him.
"Mhm. We were in a chapel, and you were wearing the prettiest white dress..." He pressed a gentle kiss to your neck, enjoying the way you shivered slightly at the sudden affection.
"And then I made a bunch of promises to you...and then we kissed. Then after the ceremony we went somewhere...and we had a lot of fun that night..." He chuckled softly and leaned his forehead against your's. You smiled, and pressed a soft tender kiss to his lips.
"That sounds lovely sweetheart."
"It was...I hope our real wedding is just like that."
You giggled, and he looked so utterly perplexed, like a confused puppy, your dominant hand slipped from his face, revealing both your engagement ring and your new wedding band on the same finger.
bachira tends to rip a lot of his clothes, shirts, hoodies, jackets, and especially his soccer jersey. he's absolutely hopeless for when it comes to mending his clothes himself, so when one of his friends joins the textiles club, he finally has a sure fire way to repair all his clothes! (and an excuse to see his pretty crush that's also part of the club)
cw/additional notes; potentially ooc, highschool au/no bllk au, pure tooth rotting fluff, strangers to lovers(?)/classmates to lovers, gn! reader, just bachira crushing HARD on reader, fluff with minimal plot, partially self indulgent because i'm part of my school's textile club and i got this idea during one of the meetings, so this is partially based off of my own experiences <3
divider creds to @aquazero
Bachira held his crumpled up jersey as he maneuvered his way through the crowded hallways of his school, the unfamiliar path was slightly jarring, he had never been in the textile club's meeting room until now, he never had a reason to.
Of course, now that he realized just how much he needed to repair some of his things (and how much he didn't want to constantly bother his mother with frequent requests for mending) he was partially grateful for the strange circumstances that led to something somewhat beneficial for him.
A few weeks ago, Chigiri had injured his leg, nothing too serious, but enough for coach to encourage him to take a break, and maybe to take up an extracurricular in the process. His friend had ultimately settled on joining textiles, muttering something about it being 'incredibly practical' as he signed his name on the registration sheet.
This came with it's own perks for Bachira, because now he had free clothing repair whenever he wanted!
(Whenever meaning once a week on Thursdays after school for about an hour and a half, but that was just enough for him and his consistently wrecked closet.)
After a few minutes, he finally made it to the club room and quickly peered through the door before opening it.
He was greeted by several of his schoolmates setting up sewing machines on the desks, a strange culmination of wires and chords on the floor that he had to be extra careful not to trip on, as well as a large supply of fabric tucked away in a few plastic tubs in the back of the classroom.
Suddenly, he heard someone clear their throat as he felt a gentle tap on his shoulder.
"Hey Bachira! Looking to join?"
He spun around, being met with a girl his age with her hair tied into a distinctive side ponytail.
"Oh, hi Akiyama! I'm just looking for Chigiri, have you seen him?"
She tilted her head to the side a bit, presumably racking her brain, there were quite a few members so he wouldn't be surprised if his friend had somehow slipped the girl's mind.
Akiyama shook her head, sighing a bit. "Nope, sorry. Maybe one of the other members have seen him."
She called out to another girl with short brown hair who was helping an underclassman adjust her machine. "Hey Ena! Have you seen Chigiri?"
"The red head? Nope, sorry."
Akiyama turned back to Bachira and shrugged. "She's been here for the whole time, she would've noticed if he was here. Sorry, but...if you're looking to get something fixed, you could always join-"
Bachira was about to just laugh and politely turn down her offer, soccer kept him more than content, and he didn't really see a reason to join anyways.
Before he could properly formulate his response, he heard an all to familiar voice from behind him.
"Are you looking for Hyouma? Sorry, he had to leave early, he told me he had a doctor's appointment."
Meguru spun around, and was immediately met with the sight of you.
The unbearably pretty transfer student that had been the object of his embarrassing affections for the past few months, and the subject of many teasing comments from his friends.
"H-hey (Y/N)! I didn't know you were a member..."
God knows he would have come here much sooner if he did.
You just smiled and chuckled softly, God, you were like an angel...
"Yeah, I've been a member for a while. Anywho, why are you looking for Hyouma? Did you need him to fix something?"
"Oh, yeah, I ripped my jersey and I was hoping I could get him to fix it for me." He explained as he held up the piece of polyester for you to see, you eyed it curiously for a second, lifting up the small rip at the seams of the top before letting it go.
"I could fix it for you if you'd like. I'm not as precise as Hyouma though, so maybe asking someone more experienced like Akiyama would be better-"
"No you're perfect!"
He quickly cut off your rambling, you were offering to fix his jersey for him? That was even better! Chigiri be damned, why ask him when his wonderful crush was right here giving your services to him on a silver platter!
Bachira didn't realize how strange his choice of words sounded until Akiyama reminded him of her presence by clearing her throat.
"I personally wouldn't mind helping you out either, but since you're so biased I won't press."
She handed you a needle and thread as she walked back to her own desk next to her friend, and flashed you a not so subtle teasing glance.
But Bachira couldn't care less because again, his super amazing crush was right in front of him, fixing his jersey.
You sat down, allowing him to drop the piece of cloth into your hands so you could find the tear and fix it. You threaded your needle and pierced the fabric, your hands working quickly and concisely to mend the hole.
"Sorry if it comes out a little weird, I'm not very good at sewing by hand."
He didn't take his mind off your hands for even a moment, they looked so warm and soft...they'd probably feel really nice if they were intertwined with his own.
"Nah it's fine, I'd probably manage to make an even bigger mess if I left it up to me."
You pulled the thread through one last time before snipping off the excess and handing back to him, the pads of your fingers gently caressing his hand in the process.
"There ya' go! That should hold up for the next bit."
He flashed you a charming, boyish, smile that made your heart flutter a bit. "Hey thanks! How about I just go to you for repairs from now on?"
"I wouldn't mind that." You smiled back at him, and that alone made his day. He was definitely going to make this as normal of an occurrence as possible. Bachira stood up, waving goodbye and giving you a playful wink as he left through the classroom's main door.
You let out a bark of laughter as you heard him cheer from all the way down the hallway. He really was a strange boy, you never knew guys could get that excited about their clothe's being fixed. Or maybe that was just a Bachira thing, who knows?
You sighed to yourself, moving to your sewing machine so you could finally work on your own project, but before you could make any progress, you were met by Akiyama's teasing grin.
"Oh that guy is in love."
"Akiyama! I barely know him!" You groaned as your classmate's grin just grew bigger.
"I'm just saying, I wouldn't be surprised if he started being more destructive on purpose just to see you~"
"Shut up!"
However, much to your future dismay (or amusement) a certain Meguru Bachira was already rummaging through his closet for anything and everything that could be deemed 'in need of repair'
โฎโห hiori likes to rebel in any sense he can from his parents. maybe it's staying out a little after curfew, spending ridiculous amounts of his allowance on steam rather than something more practical. and his favourite of course, lying about 'extra training with karasu' which is really just code for 'doing anything BUT training with karasu' or in more recent events, fooling around with you, his friend who he 'just messes around with' and totally doesn't have major feelings for
cw/additional notes; potentially ooc, gn! reader, angst(?),manga spoilers/spoilers for hiori's backstory and mild spoilers to one of the light novels, mild suggestive content (it's just kissing nothing nsfw), vee's poor attempt at writing a makeout scene and physical intimacy beyond hand holding, i wanted to try my hand at writing a different characterization of hiori because i feel like my prev mini series of him was very fluffy and i wanted to branch out a bit!
divider creds to @junabuggy and @aquazero <3
Hiori Yo was absolutely gorgeous
This was a sentiment you often found yourself having time and time again. No matter how often, how obvious is was, Hiori was beautiful.
He had long luscious lashes, baby blue locks and the biggest most adorable cyan coloured doe eyes ever. He was prettier than most girls in your class, and yet he still had a slight bit of masculinity to him that made him so handsome.
And yet, contrary to his appearance, he wasn't soft nor pliant and sweet. His hands were calloused and rough. He didn't feel soft when he tried to find refuge in your arms, he felt slender and toned, presumably from all the training he underwent.
He wasn't some perfect boy you could always find comfort in, not some unattainable ideal that could be ripped straight from a swoon worthy rom com, he harbored so many intense feelings, so many things that he kept underneath that same facade of innocence and compliance he kept up with everyone.
When he kissed you it wasn't gentle or slow like a blooming flower or a child's first love. It was rough, insistent, demanding. Like a scared soul, desperately trying to find refuge.
He wasn't the perfect boyfriend. He wasn't even your boyfriend. Just a boy in your class who you would fool around with to escape reality.
And yet you loved him so.
So here you were, pressed up against him in some secluded area of your school courtyard his tongue practically shoved down your throat with the same demanding force he always used. And no matter how many times you experienced it, you could never quite brace yourself.
Hiori's kisses always caught you off guard. There were never any gentle touches or tender teasing to preface the intimacy, no soft whispers of love and devotion, there was never any hesitation, never a moment to think. Just his soft pillowy lips pressed against your's in a constant wave of urgency and desperation, almost pleading to just let him have you like this, even for a little bit.
You gently pulled away for a moment, almost having to hold the other boy down to prevent him from pouncing on you yet again, a thick string of saliva connected your equally bruised lips, you flicked your gaze up to meet his own.
Thin frost rings of cyan were barely visible as his pupils were so blown wide open with lust, he chased your lips, as if parting from you for even a moment would kill him then and there, but you pressed a splayed hand over his mouth as you continued your staggered breathing.
"H-hey...God, you're gonna suffocate me at this rate..."
Hiori huffed for a second, grabbing your wrist and holding it down so he could press a chaste kiss to the corner of your lips without resistance. "I don't fuckin' care..." He mumbled as he trailed more soft, open mouthed kisses down your jawline and across your neck. Hearing Hiori curse was like hearing an angel commit a heresy-it wasn't impossible, but it felt so out of place-and yet the words seemed to fall so easily from his lips, so naturally.
It made you remember just how little you really knew about him on a personal level.
It would be a completely different story if you were talking about your physical relationship with him, but you weren't, and you most definitely didn't want to because you would trade all these clandestine meetings if it meant you had a chance at getting to know Hiori properly.
You would give up this excuse of a relationship with him in a heartbeat if he would just open up his own heart to you. If he could just let you see what he really needed to use you as an escape from, even for a moment.
Out of nowhere, you felt a sudden absence of warmth. Pulling you from your thoughts you were met with the sight of Hiori drawing himself back for a moment.
"Yer' distracted."
He said bluntly, he looked annoyed, his eyes briefly flickered back and forth between your lips and your eyes. Hiori wrapped his hands around your wrists and guided them to his lower abdomen, those same doe eyes burning into your soul with a hunger that you had grown all to familiar with.
"I don't mind if ya' touch me more..."
He leaned his forehead against your's, his own lips trying to coax another kiss from you. Your hands, clammy and shaking slightly, moved to cup his face and push him down once more. This time, he looked perplexed rather than annoyed.
"Did I do somethin' wrong?"
"No...I'm just not in the mood right now."
Lies.
Lying to Hiori felt so strange. You knew that he was the one who kept more secrets than you did. Yet even that knowledge didn't stop the feeling of your heart dropping with guilt as you noticed he looked almost hurt at your blatant fabrication.
This time you had to force yourself to pull away, you truly didn't want to, but you desperately needed time gather your own thoughts. Your hands flew to your collar to readjust your uniform's top and tie.
You were about to stand up and mutter a quick goodbye to Hiori-giving him a proper one would only make you want to stay back more-before you suddenly felt his hand on your sleeve, tugging you back down.
"Stay. Please? I-"
His words seemed to get caught in his throat, his eyes looked like they were pleading with you, "Just stay for the rest of lunch."
He was almost begging at this point, icy blue eyes staring into your's, almost shaking with something akin to fear. He looked almost vulnerable.
"I need you."
You hated how those three simple words made your face flush bright red, how they made your heart stop for just a moment. You hated how easy it was for him to make you swoon.
You hated how much you loved Hiori Yo.
He pulled you down into an uncharacteristically warm embrace, burying his head into the crook of you neck, you could feel his soft, short, hair tickled your neck and jaw. He let out a heavy sigh, and you couldn't bring yourself to resist him.
"So much has just been going on. School, soccer, my parents. God I hate them so much...It's just...A lot you know?"
He craned his head up so he could look at you, brushing some stray strands of hair out of your face so he could properly look at you.
"And...you've helped take my mind off things. I guess that's why I like you so much."
You cupped his face for real this time, cradling his head in your hands. It really didn't take much for him to have you wrapped around his finger. Always at his beck and call.
You savored the tender softness for all that you could. It left as quick as you came, and as soon as Hiori knew he could have you again, he took you.
When you were together, Hiori Yo could pretend everything was okay.
And when he found refuge in your arms, you could pretend that he was your's.
Hello there again! I was the one who asked about the Hiori piece and oh. my. god I just read your continuation of it and lost my mind!! Your work continuously exceeds expectations IT WAS AMAZING!!! The way you put research in and made it like accurate to a real life scenario was such a great touch. You also wrote it so fast?? The moment I saw your post I ran to go read it and needless to say it was fantastic! The little moments between Hiori and Karasu were hilarious and them bumping into reader?? Actual gold. If you ever did feel like writing that part three I would eat that up so fast. Thank you so so much for considering my ask. Reading it seriously made my day!!! Looking forward to seeing more of your writing in the future; I seriously canโt thank you enough Iโm go reread that piece in the meantime and burn it into my brain!!
[ ๐ชฝ ] - AND I'M HEAD OVER HEELS - hiori yo
โฎโห hiori's more or less come to terms with the fact that he's head over heels for you-thanks to karasu's top tier wingmanning (read; teasing) and the two of you have gotten pretty close! only problem is that he has zero idea whether you feel the same way. unfortunately on your end, you're having a pretty hard time figuring out your feelings as well
cw/additional notes; potentially ooc, itty bitty spoilers for season 2 if you haven't watched it, indented text is used to represent flashbacks, (this fic has two other parts prior to this, and unlike the others it's harder to read as a standalone, so i'd recommend reading the first 2 parts liked below <3)
part one // part two // part three
-> divider creds to @cafekitsune
You tossed and turned in your bed, the fluffy and soft blankets draped over your body providing no refuge from the constant whirlwind of emotions going through your head.
You flipped over to lay down on your back as you held up the small tube of lip gloss so the waning moonlight would pass through the translucent plastic encasing the cosmetic.
You had used a ridiculously large amount in the little time you had owned it...
This was so unlike you, all worked up over something as small and simple as this? It was but a simple gift from one of your classmates, and it was just a thank you present!
So why the hell was it messing with your head so much?
Why did replaying the memory of Hiori gently pulling you aside during lunch just to hand it to you make your heart race? The mere recollection of his hand brushing against your's give you butterflies? It wasn't like this all those times you had lent him a pen during class, or when you ran into him at the mall-
-Wait...you saw him at the mall, in a freakin' makeup store. Buying something. Buying a gift. A gift for someone 'special' as his friend had phrased it.
Holy shit.
Did Hiori like you?
That simple possibility - the mere idea of it - makes your face flush, and the butterflies return once more. You'd be lying if you said that you hated the idea of him having feelings for you.
"(Y/N)? Could I speak with ya' for a sec'?"
You turned around to the source of the familiar voice, it was Hiori, with that same soft and polite smile on his face, the same one he always had whenever you two talked, or when you caught his gaze during class.
"Hm? Oh, hey Hiori! Of course ya' can.
"You waved off your friend, telling her you'd meet up with her later at your usual lunch place, while waiting for Hiori to say whatever he pulled you aside for.A few seconds after your friend was out of sight Hiori extended his arm and handed you a small light pink gift bag. Eyes widening momentarily, you took the bag from his hands and offered a quick bow whilst saying your thanks.
"Hiori...it's not a special occasion or anythin' so why'd ya'..?"
"Oh, well yer' always doin' favours for me and lending me stuff during class, so it's the least I could do."
And there it was, that same smile again, you seemed to grow fonder of it every second you spent in this moment.
After noticing his expectant gaze, you realized you should probably open it, and you did, moving aside the tissue paper used to stuff the bag, you lifted out a nicely packaged tube of lip gloss with pink graphics across 'CANMAKE CANDY WRAP LIP' it read out in a cute text.
"Ya' mentioned how much you hated yer' lips being dry, so I thought it would be a good gift for you."
He remembered that? You honestly just mentioned it to him in passing because you wanted to make small talk, but, that was really sweet of him.
"Thanks Hiori."
It was a whisper, bashful and soft, like how you only wanted him to hear it, he looked like he was about to open his mouth and say something again, but before the words could fall from his lips, he was cut off by another one of your friends calling your name.
"-Oh, you should probably get going now, I wouldn't wanna keep ya' here."
He chuckled silently, like a soft melody that waded it's way towards your ears, he gave you a quick nod before taking a few steps away.
And before he left, he gave you that same smile, once more.
Ever since that occurrence, you'd always find yourself in positions where you sought him out, always finding excuses to talk to him, finding the most obscure reasons just to be in his presence.
Hiori was headed to the front office to do some printing? Oh, what a surprise! You had to go there too! Hiori was helping with clean up duty after P.E? Well so were you! If Hiori had to do something, you found some kind of excuse to do it with him.
Occasionally, when seeking solace away from the rest of your usual friend group, you'd sometimes find Hiori sitting in a secluded staircase on his phone, sometimes playing a game, or just spacing out while listening to music.
You adored these moments.
He'd let you join him, just sitting in silence together with the occasional quip of how you've been doing, or about whatever was going on in class, but, for the most part, it was peaceful, just a shared moment of solitude between the two of you.
You learned a lot about Hiori just from spending time with him, no words needed. He didn't seem particularly close to anyone, but was on good terms with everyone. He always had yakult on him, and was more than willing to share with you. If he had ear buds or headphones in, he was always listening to a soundtrack to a video game he played.
And yet, he still seemed like an enigma.
Sure, on paper he seemed like a pretty normal boy. He did fairly well in school, played soccer (and was quite proficient at it), he spent most of his free time playing games, and he was an all around good kid.
But there were a lot of other things that added to his character. Little quirks and habits you would pick up on.
He never mentioned his home life, nor his parents - you thought it would be best not to pry. You heard from a few of your classmates that they were professional athletes, it would explain his own athletic abilities.
All the food he ate was always nicely served and portioned out in his bento box, and he had a strange habit of calorie counting that you had picked up on. Again, you thought it was best not to pry.
Hiori Yo was fascinating to you. You wanted to figure him out more than anything. You found yourself talking about him a lot, intentional or not.
"(Y/N), did ya' hear about that new convenience store by the station? Me and Mizuki are gonna check it out after school."
"Oh yeah, Hiori was telling me about it!"
At first, it was simple things like; 'Hiori mentioned that!' or 'Hiori said he liked this.' and such, raised a few eye brows, but nothing that made your friends too curious - not yet at least.
"(Y/N)! Me and Ena are going to go shopping this Saturday, wanna come with?"
"Oh, sorry, I promised Hiori that I'd study with him. Next time though!"
Then it was the small study dates that always happened to feature Hiori, sometimes other people would tag along as well, but the only consistent person that you always made sure was there was him. This was when everyone started picking up on your strange affection for the boy.
"Me and the others are planning to watch my brother's soccer game this weekend, are you free? Or let me guess, Hiori-"
"I actually promised I'd come to his youth team's game...Another time...? Oh! Wait- isn't your brother on Bambi Osaka?"
"Yeah..? Why?-"
"Perfect! So is Hiori, I'll see you guys there then!"
And so, little by little, Hiori Yo began bleeding into your personal life. Dragging him into little meetings with your friends, slowly becoming your favourite conversation topic.
And now, you were wasting away in your bedroom thinking about him when you could be getting your much deserved (and needed) rest after a long week of school.
But it's not like you could hide from this. Hide from whatever was going on between you and Hiori. Or at least what could start happening between the two of you.
Maybe he did like you.
And maybe, you didn't mind that.
And maybe, just maybe, you liked him too.
