being obsessed w a piece of media is so scary. what if my mutuals see how insane i go about it and think oh i gotta check out what this is about and then think it sucks and kill me with rocks. what if they hate my favorite characters
[ note: takes place before inazuma archon quest finale and contains spoilers for scaramouche backstory! ]
SCARAMOUCHE has thought of many ways to say it.
he parts his lips, forming the words soundlessly, and repeats. over and over again, till he memorizes the shape of the words. however, he does not understand his compulsion to say them to you—you, who makes his blood boil in the same sentence you make it rise to his cheeks. even now, he swallows his anger to talk to you. the scowl on his face is only quelled by the thought of your soft gaze. he never anticipated this feeling.
will his voice crack? he wonders as he searches for your figure near the abandoned shrine. that would be embarrassing. you’d dismiss it airily but as much as he denies his affection for it, he’d get to hear you laugh. it’s surprising. his temper and unpleasantries barely ever get you down. it’s not like he deserves your patience but it would be dishonest to hide the light in his eyes you bring.
despite what the world says, scaramouche can feel gratitude.

Content warnings: none, except college au, slice of life and pure fluff.
Author’s note: so this idea occurred while talking to @bunny-rambles and i’m dedicating this to you, Bunny, dear! I hope you like it, love 💞 (Ehem, yes i included Kazuha because… yes, because i wanted to self indulge a little…). I went with headcanons for this one, and while i’m not sure i’m too good at them, i hope they are somewhat enjoyable.
Kaedehara Kazuha
The soft light academia boyfriend; quiet, yet sociable and charming. Half the campus has a crush on him, while the other half wishes to be friends with him.
Kazuha is the kind of boyfriend to always walk you to and from class back to your dorm.
He is very affectionate, without overdoing it, so, naturally, he’s always holding your hand or has an arm around your waist (always that you’re comfortable with it, of course).
Dresses in light beiges and browns, with some red accents; sometimes it’s his scarf, sometimes his sweater or a scrunchie he got from you. He owns a red hoodie that mysteriously disappears sometimes, he finds it later on your person (what can you say, you love feeling him close, even when you can’t cuddle him).
Kazuha is honestly the best person to calm you down when you’re stressed and drowning in due essays or finals. With his gentle voice, and a soft kiss to your lips, he wraps a blanket around you, keeping you company and helping you out with everything he can: proof-reading for you, making your favorite tea or coffee, getting you your favorite snacks, anything that he can do, rest assured, he will.
He is a literature major, no doubt about it. His poetry could make anyone who reads it swoon, but he prefers to keep it private, and show it only to his special person, that is, you.
Sometimes you will find a piece of ochre paper folded in half with neat handwriting inside one of your books, the sweetness of each verse and the cursive handwriting letting you know it unmistakably belongs to your Kazuha.
And the smile he manages to write on your lips for the rest of the day doesn’t fade, not even when you kiss him on the lips as soon as he comes by your building to pick you up.
Xiao
The cool boy, usually dressed in dark tight jeans, with cat headphones either on top of his head or hanging around his neck. If he knew just how many people he has crushing on him, he would malfunction.
Computer science major and the sweetest gamer boyfriend ever.
Xiao is super protective of you, if you so much as sneeze or seem down, he will make sure you take a break and receive extra cuddles. He is shy with physical affection, but if it’s with you, he makes sure you know how loved you are.
Blushes a lot. If you hold his hand or kiss his cheek, no matter for how long you’ve been together, xiao gets so so flustered. Call him cute and boop his nose. Congratulations, you broke him, now he is in a daze of you, and you alone is all that occupies his mind.
Lets you do his hair, his nails and even his makeup. And again, he flusters if you put his hair in pigtails and call him adorable, he buries his head in your shoulder to hide the redness on his cheeks. When you paint his nails black though, it’s you who sometimes ends up flustered, he has such pretty hands, and the color compliments his skin so well, you find yourself staring.
Xiao would be good at doing your makeup too, even better than when you do it yourself. If you want to match with him, and ask him to put red eyeliner on you, xiao’s heart beats wildly, he is just honored you would ask him that and the proximity to your face, with your soft breath fanning his face is not helping his flustered state.
If you have classes until late and it’s dark by the time you finish, Xiao either goes to pick you up if he’s free from his own courses, or asks you to message him when you get out and again when you reach your dorm. He just worries a lot about you, and the days he can’t walk you back, he always, always makes sure to come by later and cuddle or game with you.
Albedo
Intelligent, beautiful, polite… the prince of campus, as others call him, his royal looks and captivating elegance make everyone turn heads. To you? your adorable STEM major boyfriend who happens to have a firecracker of a little sister.
No matter who makes moon eyes at him, Albedo will only look at you. Sure, half of campus is in love with him and he might be aware of it, but he does not care, his only worry being that you know he loves you and only you.
And know, you do. How can you not, when he is so sweet and considerate of you? If you’re cold, he gives you his jacket, walking close to you, with one of his arms wrapped around you; if you didn’t have breakfast and are hungry, Albedo carries small snacks that he knows you like; when work starts piling up, a simple “come over” text guides him to your doorstep, and he holds you until you calm, helping you organize everything afterwards.
He may be majoring in the Sciences, but Albedo is a true artist at heart. And you, the muse that inspires most of his paintings.
Sometimes, you fluster when he tells you this or that piece was inspired by you, even going as far as to name it after you. With a teasing smile, Albedo will run his thumb over your lips and kiss you oh so delicately afterwards, like watercolors over silk, explaining you are his beloved so of course you inspire his favorite masterpieces.
During school breaks, he invites you home and you meet his little sister, Klee. She is adorable and very, very energetic and chaotic. She instantly takes a liking to you and refers to you as his big sibling as well! (Albedo’s heart warms at this and he falls in love with you all over again).
Dates with him are relaxed and manage to leave you with a sense of peace every single time. From visiting art museums, Albedo telling you all about his favorite pieces; to laying around beautiful spots around campus, him painting and you looking while he works or reading; and even studying together at the library, no matter how mundane the activities seem, with Albedo there’s always a sense of magic to them.
Scaramouche
That one art major with the ripped jeans and multiple piercings, tattoos and rings. He’s usually on his phone, glaring at anyone who looks in his direction. Then there’s you, who makes him turn into a puddle of mush.
Rebel with a cause. His mom wanted him to get into engineering or business, but he chose his own path instead, pursuing a course in the Arts.
He is very pretty, no matter how jagged and uneven he tries to make his hair look, it ends up complimenting his features even more, resulting in some photography students asking him to model for them. Needless to say, he refuses, flipping them off or sticking out his tongue sometimes. You are the only one allowed to take pictures of him, like hell he will trust someone else with it.
Scaramouche didn’t even believe in such things as falling in love when he got into college, determined to keep to himself and interact as little as possible with everyone else, until he met you.
It happened one day at the library. All desks were occupied, and, much to his chagrin, he had to content himself with the most secluded and seemingly silent one, that being the one you were sitting at. Whatever, he thought, pouting and putting on his headphones.
After a while, he was interrupted by the grating of a chair against the floor. Frowning, he looked up, to see you hurriedly gathering your stuff and exiting the room. In your rush, though, you had forgotten your planner, so grumbling, Scaramouche picked it up and caught up to you.
What a careless dumbass, he remembers thinking, as he stopped you in the hallway. However, all thoughts and words would die in his throat when you turned around, thanking him and smiling sweetly.
Why are you so bright and kind? he still wonders nowadays, as he holds you in his arms.
Extremely protective of you! Sometimes it unintentionally comes off as mean, but he truly worries so much, it’s just he doesn’t know how to express it, please be patient with him. When he angrily cooks for you because you didn’t eat, or when he roughly pulls you aside if it rains and cars are passing by, he means well, and, doesn’t show it, but is terribly worried for you.
If you’re the one worrying over him though, he is even more clueless about expressing his feelings. He pouts and averts his gaze, cheeks bright pink whenever you hug him from behind or show the slightest bit of affection for him. Truth is, he is very grateful and still doesn’t know how did he get so lucky to end up with you.
Cyno
The personification of ‘don’t judge a book by its cover.’ He may come off as scary and stoic, but the lucky ones who get to know him find out he is a sweetheart and a huge nerd!
Cyno majors in criminology and law, he’s the best in his class. Quiet and discreet but extremely diligent and never refuses to be of help to those who ask him.
And around you? Anyone who knows him from college wouldn’t believe he’s the same person.
He is just so soft and sweet with you, he flusters you with how nonchalantly gentlemanly he is: carries your bag, makes sure you always walk on the inner side of the street, far from the cars, opens doors for you, if you so much as wrap your arms around you for a second because it’s getting colder, he shrugs off his hoodie (which has jackal ears on the hood) and gives it to you. And his scarlet eyes look so soft, you just don’t have the heart to tell him to keep it.
Gets shy and excited all at once when he asks you if you want to play genius invokation TCG with him. You can see his warm eyes sparkling, a faint dusting of pink all over his cheeks. He’s just adorable and you always say yes, playing for hours, with Cyno teaching you how to built the best deck and which are the most efficient techniques to win.
You guys also like studying together. You do so either in the library or in one of your dorms. If Cyno has already finished his work, he loves keeping you company all the same, writing jokes in his notebook that he will tell you later. He hopes they make you laugh, he loves your smile.
In these study sessions, you’ve come to realize you take care of each other. Because both of you always bring snacks and plenty of water for the other, you never run out of them and can keep well nourished and hydrated while working.
Sometimes, these study dates end up turning into long sessions, the sky outside darkening. When this happens, you two stay at the dorm you decided to meet up or if you guys were studying at the library, you stay in Cyno’s room for the night, his being the one closest to campus.
And more than once a cute anecdote has happened when you have sleepovers. Like that time Cyno was sleeping soundly, clutching you tightly and you couldn’t get up from bed because of his strong hold on you; or when he caught you trying on one of his baseball caps with jackal ears and putting on his cologne. It’s hard to say who got more flustered, really.
Tighnari
Caring, sweet and sassy boyfriend. Gentle and nice at first glance, but underneath there’s a playful and witty side to him, that flusters and makes you fall in love with him more every day.
Tighnari is the type of boyfriend to always gift you little things: bookmarks he makes with pressed flowers or leaves, cute pens and pencils, keychains, flowers he handpicks thinking of you, etc. It makes him happy to see how your eyes widen and sparkle when you receive his gifts, a tender smile etched on his features when you smile at him and thank him with a hug or soft kiss.
He is a biology major and specializes in botanics. Anything you want to know about a certain tree, flower or herb, ask him, he’ll explain the best climate and conditions for it to grow, the kind of soil the plant favors, the best season to plant it, everything.
Tighnari is in charge of taking care of the greenhouses in the biology labs building. Tending to different plant species is something he enjoys and that calms him. He also tutors Collei, a freshman in the same course as him who helps at the greenhouses too.
Sometimes you come by to help out at the greenhouses and spend time with Tighnari; it’s so endearing when he gets enthusiastic and starts telling you about what they cultivate here. Collei instantly takes a liking to you, seeing you as an older sibling figure, and looks forward to the days you join Tighnari.
One day you had the (mis)fortune to see Tighnari scolding another student because they were careless and left things messy and out of place. Let’s just say you felt lucky you weren’t at the receiving end of your boyfriend’s sarcastic remarks (being called a lummox or threatened to have the lab rules smacked right on your forehead are most definitely not on your to-do list).
But you are lucky to be on the receiving end of Tighnari’s affections and care. When he knows you’ll have a busy day, he makes sure to prepare your favorite lunch for you to bring along, and he leaves little notes accompanied with a different flower petal each day. In the notes, he writes encouraging messages for you and some curious information about the plant in question. They always makes you smile and think of him, so the day doesn’t seem so long and arduous.
When the days get colder, you and Tighnari like to sit together on one of your guys dorms, while you spend time together, blanket thrown over the both of you in the couch, comfy clothes on and each doing your own thing: finishing up an essay, reading, playing some game or just scrolling through your phone. It always ends up with cuddles, of course. Tighnari melts when you pet his ears or comb through his soft tail. He nuzzles into you, but, if you bring it up, he’ll be sure to fluster you with a kiss or a compliment.
Hello can i request a reaction for jeonghan,wonu, dk, hoshi and mingyu (if it's too much just choose whoever u want) about you being kinda insecure lately because you gained a little weight (nothing extreme tho)? If you're not comfortable with that just ignore the request ^^ have a nice day/night ~ take care 💛
svt + s/o's weight gain
➔ reaction || requested
➔ warnings: anxiety, insecurity, weight gain, eating habits || 750 words
➔ notes: comfort, fluff ; i'm definitely comfortable writing this; my rules do say 3-5 members. but tbh, anon — i don't think the clarification about "nothing extreme tho" was particularly necessary !! this goes out to all the lovelies who are insecure about any amount of weight gain ♪(^∇^*) some comfort goes a long way. PLEASE heed my warnings if these topics are upsetting to you. reblog if you liked!
JEONGHAN: you know he made this reservation a while ago, but standing in front of your mirror in nothing but your undergarments, you really don't feel like going anymore. jeonghan knocks on the door and pokes his head in, eyes drawn first to the pile of discarded clothes on your bed. then he catches sight of your crumpled expression. "what's wrong?" he murmurs, taking you into his arms and rubbing your back. "i don't fit any of my nice clothes. and the ones i do fit...i don't like how i look in them," you say, the topic something he's already familiar with. he stands there, swaying, until you pull back with a furrowed brow. "'m sorry." he smooths a hand over your face, smile as soft as his touch. "don't apologize, baby. i'll just cancel our reservation, and we can stay in. that okay with you?"
SOONYOUNG: you start dodging his kisses, and that's a big no-no. he goes through a myriad of emotions: hurt because you're avoiding him, acceptance because you must have your reasons, annoyance because it's been going on for some time, and finally concern because...it's not him, is it? it is, but not in the way he thinks. it's just that when he kisses you, he squeezes your waist and he might not think much about how much your waist has changed, but you do. when you confess that to him, he scoffs. "baby, you think that matters?" he says. then he sees your face because yes, that matters. to you, at least. he takes your hands and pulls you closer. "i meant...i know it seems big in your mind, but it doesn't change who you are, what you mean to me." he squeezes your fingers. "how much i'm dying to kiss you again."
WONWOO: he picks up on your shifting habits, even if you try to hide them, but he waits for you to reach out to him first — he doesn't want to make assumptions or corner you. when you do finally call him, voice quiet on the phone as you ask if he's free to hear you out, he tells you to hang up because he's running over to where you are as soon as possible. he's not amazing with his words, but he makes up for it tenfold with his actions as he reminds you over and over how important you are and how, even if your feelings about yourself change, his feelings for you will stay constant and that's a fact you can trust. body insecurity is something that he'll work with you to unravel because it doesn't stem from how you look but how you feel about how you look and that's something he's familiar with.
SEOKMIN: you confide in him because that's what you always do when you're feeling down, and he listens quietly, nodding along as you say your part. and then when you're done, he sits there for a moment, humming in thought before asking, "what do you want to do now?" because he's not there to offer solutions. he's not the problem-solving kind of guy. he wants to support you in the ways you want to be supported, whether that's just holding you every night, complimenting you more, helping you make up an exercise plan, or listening to you whenever you need to talk. his eyes are shining so earnestly back as he wants for your response, and you know that whatever you choose, he'll be 110% behind your decision, and when you falter, he'll stop right next to you until you're ready to keep going.
MINGYU: when you're with him, you're always eating. happily, too, so when you start pushing uneaten food around your plate, he swallows his mouthful before asking if you're not hungry. "had something to eat earlier," you say easily and offer him your portion. which is fine, but then it happens way too often to be just nothing. "you need to take care of yourself." he frowns, pasta sauce still on the corner of his mouth. "i am, i swear." and he sees right through your lies because he's more observant than he lets on sometimes — you keep forgetting that. "sweetheart," he starts, then stops, unsure of how to proceed. "i don't want to...make your decisions for you, but i don't want you to feel unhappy with yourself. if you don't take care of you, i will, alright? i'm here." he reaches over and squeezes your hand.

JOSHUA - always walks on the outside of the road: it's so subtle that you don't notice it for a while. like everything he does, it's incredibly smooth. if you're chatting, he slows his steps and, without breaking his train of thought, comes up to your other side. he nudges you until you're on the inside of the sidewalk and takes your hand, swinging it in the space between you. to be honest, you chalked it up to him preferring to hold a certain hand over the other; you've definitely felt that way sometimes. what makes you finally realize is when jeonghan realizes it. you're walking in a group of three — you by the road, jeonghan in the middle, and joshua on the inside — and half listening to jeonghan's story when he suddenly stops talking and asks what josh is doing. "nothing," is his immediately response, crossing behind both of you to reach your other side. you move over to make room, and when you bump jeonghan further into the sidewalk, the older boy snorts. "are you always this chivalrous, or are you showing off in front of me?" jeonghan wonders. joshua only shrugs and tells him to continue with the story, but jeonghan's onto something. when joshua takes your hand, you give it a squeeze and send him an appreciative smile.
WONWOO - plays games for you: he loves when you play games with him, but there's a lot of times when you're too busy to keep up, and every time you come back, you're sad at all the resources you've missed from not doing dailies and events. so when he has time to play, he tells you to log in and join his world. "don't worry about it," he says, sliding on the cat eared headset you gifted him one year. "focus your pretty head on doing your work and i'll take care of the rest." hard to argue with him when he looks that good. as promised, he does both of your games, and you always have enough in-game currency or are caught up enough to play the latest events. he's busier than you are, though, so you want to return the favor sometimes, but he literally won't let you. you tried to sneak onto his computer once to help, and he remotely logged out as if he knew what you were doing. "why can't i help you?" you ask him one day, face crushed against his chest as he holds you back from queuing for his daily league game. "because," he responses, which is not an answer at all. still, it's cute that he worries more about your account than his own.
VERNON - cleans up quietly: mingyu pulls on your arm, already babbling about how fun the rides are going to be, but when you turn back to find vernon, you see him starting to stack up the dirty plates. people rarely ask it of him. with a group as big as seventeen, though, they can't afford to not clean up, so you notice that sometimes vernon starts that process, quietly clearing cans and cups so that there's less to do later. you shake mingyu off. "i'll join you in a bit," you tell him and tilt your head towards your boyfriend. mingyu shouts out don't take too long! and goes off to find someone else to bother instead. sidling up to vernon, you take the pile out of his hands. "you could've asked for help, you know." he shrugs, scrunching up all the dirty napkins. "they want to play." "what about you?" he shrugs again. "i don't mind going later. it's not like the games will disappear in the next twenty minutes," he says, and that's one of your favorite things about him. how patient he is. how you can't rush him, no matter how much the PDs try. you bump his shoulder on the way to the trashcan. "the games might still be there, but the snacks won't. let's hurry and catch up with the rest of them."
