To Love Me So, So!

Okkotsu Yuta x Reader - Corporate AU

Long days and even longer nights, it really isn't good to stare at screens for so long. Though it turns out that all it takes to get closer to your office crush is to put eyedrops in at your desk.

//another corporate au!!! a manager jokingly told me not to cry when i was putting in eye drops and i just had to write yuta in this exact situation

The bright fluorescent lights burn your retinas, the low hum of central air-conditioning buzzes in your ears and you're tired of this.

You haven't left your little corner of the office since 4pm, the half-eaten convenience store bento box has been sitting at your desk for the past 2 hours, and despite it all, you still can't bring yourself to finish it.

After shifting your PDF program to the second screen, you force yourself to look away from the bright screens. You take off your blue screen lenses as a heavy breath leaves your lips, spinning your desk chair so you face the vast emptiness of the office.

Tears well at the bottom of your eyes, that familiar sting builds from behind and though you blink to reduce the itch, it doesn't help. You reach for the small bottle of eye-drops on your desk, and despairingly, you squeeze.

The droplet barely lands, dripping onto the inner corner of your eye and streaming down your cheek. You are quick to wipe it away with the cuff of your sleeve but just as you look up to try again, someone approaches you.

"A-are you alright? Did something happen?"

Through your glazed over eyes, you can only weakly squeak, "Huh?"

Before the previous words process, the person in front of you has already offered you a tissue, their voice gentle, "Here, you don't have to tell me if its too much, I can just sit here with you."

Despite your confusion, you take it, wiping away the remaining solution. When your vision clears, you realise that Yuta is sitting in the chair besides yours. His staff tag is hanging loosely around his neck, he's got a hoodie thrown over his button-up shirt and his tie looks a little loose, having probably tugged on it earlier.

"I'm fine, I'm fine!" You wave off, voice a little raspy from your lack of water, "I was just putting in eye-drops."

"Huh? Ah—!"

"I misunderstood, I'm so sorry." His eyes shift to the small bottle in your hand and then to your still slightly reddened eyes. "But you don't mind if I stay, right?"

A soft breath escapes you, and you can't help the smile creeping up your lips. "Of course not, I'm taking a break anyway."

From the corner of your eyes, Yuta pulls up the chair besides you and starts to unpack his backpack, pulling out his computer and mouse. It takes you a few more tries to get your eye drops in, and when you finally do, you realise something.

As you turn to him, you point out his set up. "How come you haven't left? Did something pop up in the system?"

He rubs the back of his neck, a sheepish expression on his face as he explains, "Ah… yeah. One of my colleagues was dealing with an issue but he needs to catch the last train, and I live nearby so I came in."

"That's awfully nice of you, and lucky too," You muse.

What you would do for an apartment near office, it'd mean no more cramming yourself into a train already filled to the brim or having to set aside an emergency hotel expense.

Your mind wanders far away from this cold office, you make up images of what his living space could possibly look like. Yuta's desk at the IT department is usually so neat, stationary tucked neatly into the standard desk organisers, his sticky notes aligned in perfect formation on the low dividers, even his wires are somehow well-behaved. His apartment must be just as tidy as that, if not more.

His kitchen manners are probably neat too, imagining him in an apron, those pretty hands wrapped around the handle of a knife and cutting up vegetables to cook—

And if you can be honest, he seems like the kind of guy who does his laundry really meticulously, and that is just making you feel all hot inside.

As you immerse yourself in the fantasy of domesticity, you can faintly hear someone calling your name. "You're really feeling better, right?"

"Yeah, don't worry about it. If I look like shit, its probably from the overtime," Shaking yourself out of your trance, you laugh, one that earns you an earnest purse of his lips.

Before you can try to reassure him further, he pulls out a plastic bag and offers you a bottle of green tea. Despite being about 200ml, an absurd amount for your average convenience store drink, Yuta's hand makes it look way smaller.

"You like this brand, right? I managed to stop by the convenience store before I came up," He cocks his head as he asks, a soft flush spreads across his face and his soft hair sway along his gentle movement.

As you reach out to take it, your fingers brush against each other as a smile spreads across your lips. "Yeah, how'd you know?"

He doesn't say, and somewhere in those dark eyes, a flicker of mirth seems to cross them.

As the clock hits 12, the crack of a plastic bottle cuts through the low hum of electronics and air conditioning. The glow of the overhead lights still burn into your eyes, and yet in this empty office, all it took was that gentle presence for your heart to no longer ache.

And one day, you'll finally tell him. Just maybe not today, or tomorrow.

True Love Oh!

Okkotsu Yuta x Reader - Corporate AU

So what if you keep having to make trips down to the IT department for 'simple' issues, what if the love of your life is the cute guy with the eyebags and the massive hoodie?

//in honour of me being put through humiliation ritual after humiliation ritual on my first day. this is written out of pure desperation

"I'm so sorry, the excel sheet just won't open and I'm meant to be working on this today and I must be such a bother right now, aren't I?"

Approaching the desk, you sigh as you muster the most pitiful expression you can. With your computer in your grasp, you've come all the way to the IT department for one thing.

Well two things but that excel sheet isn't that important in all honesty.

"I really don't mean to disturb you, especially so close to lunch but one of the managers sent this over for a last check and now it won't even open." You lean closer towards Yuta, tucking your hair behind your ear as you send him a side-long glance.

The tips of his ears burn, he flinches yet he doesn't move away, stammering, "Y-yeah, don't worry about it. It's pretty normal if you have a lot of links. This will be a quick fix."

"Really?" You smile, eyes focusing on him rather than your poor computer. "Here I thought my boss was going to have my head. You're a life saver, you know?"

He only flushes harder at your little comment. All he can muster is a muttering too soft for your ears and despite that, he starts to work on your computer, pulling up this and that and the taskbar for whatever little predicament you got yourself into.

That's right, you've come here for one thing and one thing only, the IT department's very own Okkotsu Yuta. He's apparently been scouted a while ago, and ever since most of the IT systems in use have been completely streamlined. And sure, he's cute with those large eyes and almost blank expression he's got on most of the time— like he's ten miles away from earth— but you're more interested in just how good he looks when he's in his element.

He's bunched up the sleeves of his white hoodie, exposing his lean forearms to the air-conditioning and your wandering eyes. They're so smooth you're almost jealous, and as he waits for some program to load, you catch a hint of the outline of his veins, soft blues and greens highlighted by the fluorescent lighting. Even his hands are pretty, large and bony, gliding across the keyboard you struggled to adjust to with ease.

He always looks so small drowning in baggy hoodies and pants, but ever since that fateful day at pickle ball, every time you catch a hint of something more, your heart feels like it's just about to bust through your chest.

His eyes sharpen and from the corner of your eyes, the excel sheet is already nearly up and running. Despite how quickly he sorted out your little predicament, you catch the prideful little scrunch on his nose.

No matter how cute he is, you internally deflate. You thought this one would buy you a little more time to ogle him, but these 5 minutes of staring felt like nothing more than a second.

Gingerly, he hands you back your computer, your fingers brush for just a moment.

With a half-hearted look around, you let a soft sigh leave your lips, "Looks like all your colleagues have headed off, I'm really sorry about holding you up."

"Oh its fine, its fine! Most of them are just getting take out anyways."

Just as you turn to leave, he calls out for you, "Uhm, if you don't mind, do you want to grab lunch together?" Then just as quickly, Yuta rushes to explain himself, his words getting faster and faster, "We don't have to! I just thought you haven't had lunch either and there's this restaurant nearby that does really good rice bowls!"

A smile plays at your lips and the corners of your eyes crinkle together.

"Sure, I'll see you at the lobby then."

People outside Gaza think that the war against us is over, and that we are living in peace and tranquility, but they do not know that the war is still ongoing.

The bombing, death, hunger, and displacement do not stop for a single moment. What has actually stopped is the world's interest, questions, and follow-up. We do not know if they have grown tired of us and become accustomed to our tragedy, or if the media has deceived them and contributed to misleading them!

Be the alternative media, do not forget Gaza, do not get tired of it, and do not stop talking about it, for whoever does not care about the affairs of people is not one of them!!

freepaleatine955

Don't overthink helping families in Gaza; participation makes a difference in their lives, and donating makes a big difference.

freepaleatine955

Here are some families from Gaza who need help.

Help Mahmoud's family from here

Help Karim's family from here

closet-keys

My friends Mahmoud and Mahrah are siblings from Gaza. I have been friends with Mahrah since early 2025. She introduced me to her brother later that year, and I introduced both of them to my wife. We have a group chat together. My wife (@cannilyuncanny) now hosts their family's fundraiser (vetted by 90-ghost and shared by fairuzfan) and wires transfers of donations directly to Mahrah.

I am texting with Mahmoud right now as I write this, and I want to assure anyone who needs the assurance that @freepaleatine955 is the shared blog of Mahmoud and Mahrah. They previously posted from palestinian95, and before that from mahrahpalestine. Recently, tumblr staff have been aggressively targeting Palestinian blogs and deleting them. Many people are having to recreate blogs and rebuild their networks.

Please share widely so others can find them!

Farewell online privacy

What happened?

Trump happened.

just get a VPN?

You can’t just tell people to ‘get a VPN (Virtual Private Network)’. Buying a VPN is like buying a house. It’s very very important. Having no VPN or having a ‘wrong’ one can seriously damage your life. Especially for Americans because their privacy laws are garbage. I am going to try explain why you should get a VPN but bare with me, I am from Germany and my English is far from perfect.

Let’s start with a simple test. Click this link here: https://whatismyipaddress.com/ It will tell your IP adres, your ISP (internet service provider), and your location. The location might not be very accurate, but then again, it’s just a simple website. Imagine what the government can do!

So basically, everyone can find out where you live. But there is more danger. Your ISP. Your ISP logs your every move online and they are required to keep it in case the government wants access to it (or if a 3rd party wants to buy your data (yikes). They have everything. What websites you visit. How long you stay on a website. What you download. Your search terms. European laws are more subtle on this but if you are from the US you are #@*#&, especially because Trump doesn’t support the open internet. It’s scary but maybe in the future you can’t get a job because the recruiter knows your searched on ‘how to deal with depression’ or anythings else that’s supposed to be private because it’s your f*cking right. Or you get a $100k fine because you pirated a movie 15 years ago. You need a VPN. You’re dumb for not using one. but what does a VPN do?

A VPN encrypts all your data so if it were be intercepted no one can ‘crack the code’ and damage your privacy.

Usually being online goes like this (simplified): Your computer —-> ISP (—–> keeps data —–> sells it)

But with a VPN it goes like: Your computer —–> VPN (encrypts data)—–> ISP (ISP can’t see shit)

Furthermore, a VPN hides your IP address and location by giving you another IP address located in Spain for example (you can often choose from a list and change as many times as you want).

Now that you know why you should get a VPN and what is does it is important to educate yourself because people often choose the wrong VPN. VPN providers are also businesses and have to obey the law. If you choose a VPN provider located in the US then you are throwing your money away because the laws in the US shits on your privacy. If the US gov wants the provider to give all their logs they have to obey. The ISP still can’t see what you are doing online and sell your data but the US gov can interfere with your VPN provider so NEVER CHOOSE A PROVIDER LOCATED IN THE US.

I just wanted to make that very clear so my followers don’t buy false security.

There is still more danger! Who says your VPN provider isn’t selling your data? You need to check their logging policy. Do they keep logs? If yes, what for? For how long do they keep them? Tip: Choose a provider who doesn’t keep logs

More about law The US is part of the Five Eyes program (the worst):

The Five Eyes, often abbreviated as FVEY, is an intelligence alliance comprising Australia, Canada, New Zealand, the United Kingdom and the United States. These countries are bound by the multilateral UKUSA Agreement, a treaty for joint cooperation in signals intelligence (source)

There is also a Nine Eyes (bit better) and Fourteen Eyes Program (better). You don’t want a VPN provider who is located in one the Five Eyes countries. If you had to choose go for a provider located in a country that’s part of the Fourteen Eyes Program or even better, go for a country that isn’t part of any program!

I know this is a shitty explanation and please pardon my english but now it’s time to do your own research. Take your privacy seriously. Maybe WWIII breaks out and you get killed for liking the ‘wrong’ FB-page.

Go to this website: https://thatoneprivacysite.net/simple-vpn-comparison-chart/

Make sure that your future VPN provider both has green boxes for Privacy Jurisdiction and Privacy Logging.

I recommend ovpn.se and trust.zone. ovpn is located in Sweden so they are part of the 14 Eyes Program and they keep minimal logs. Their business ethics, however, are alright.

Trustzone is located in the Seychelles. No country can interfere and their privacy jurisdiction is the best you can get. The US want your data but needs to get it from Trustzone? The Seychelles will simply give them the finger and wave them goodbye. However, this makes this provider very appealing for people who torrent and criminals because they keep no logs (and that is how it shoud be) Also, there are almost no marketing efforts so this provider is one the cheapest)

Also, often providers such as ExpressVPN are being called ‘The Best’ on websites about VPNs but know that this is just marketing which also makes those provider more expensive (and they too shit on your privacy)

This must be the worst article you have ever read but please, please take your privacy very seriously.

EDIT: I got many people asking me which provider I use. For those who want to know, I use Trust Zone. They offer a free 3-day trial with no strings attached. But still do your own research!

writing-prompt-s

I am also with Trustzone but I think you forgot to explain one of it’s most important features. It protects you when you are using someone else’s Wi-Fi. If you are at Starbucks and you use their Wi-Fi your privacy is at risk. Anyone with ill intentions could steal your information. Especially if you are using an unsecured Wi-Fi hotspot. With a VPN your data gets encrypted so no one can steal it.

rabbittiddy

Wait, what’s going, on? Did trump destroy internet privacy with a bill or something? Where’s the news? Oh wait, why am I getting visions of Alex Jones and selling water purifiers?

thecrystalfems

He hasn’t yet but he says he wants to. And if he is serious about it it would be really easy to do. Since all our data is already recorded, as the person above explained.

coltrer

Trump wants more surveillance of Muslim Americans. This in a country where internet privacy is already close to non-existent.

Trust.Zone has a free trial. Use it.

btw this post only has 11k notes? That’s quite disappointing for something this important.

Don’t reblog this post to save a life. Reblog this to protect an entire family!

imthedoctor12

@earth-ruins @writing-prompt-s Should I get trustzone for my mobile device?

writing-prompt-s

If you use public Wi-Fi, then yes. Which VPN you use is up to you, amigo. Take @earth-ruins advice. Do your own research first.

writing-prompt-s

@elvesfromthedeep just brought the current situation in the US to my attention (March 30, 2017).

To all my friends in the US, please read this entire post. Making everyone aware of VPNs is going to be my mission. Your privacy matters. Please reblog this post.

greeneyespurpleheart

Don’t tell me you just wanted to scroll past this. Stop looking at pictures of cats for a moment, okay? Don’t you realize how important this is? This is dangerous! ‘America, the best FREE country in the world’ my ass.

With this new law your ISP can sell your Internet history which could include passwords, usernames, religion, credit card numbers, race and much more to the highest bidder. So here is what I want you to do. You are going to read the whole thing and before you think ’this is so important. Let me reblog this real quick and go back to admiring cats again-’ NO! Don’t reblog this. Take action first. Then reblog. Sign up for a free trial! Trust.Zone offers one (here). Yes. It might be difficult to set up a VPN for some people. But is that going to stop you from protecting yourself and your family? 30 minutes. 30 minutes is all that it takes. 5 if you know how to install software. The problem with some of you is that you see ‘difficult’ as something negative. I want you to see difficult differently. I need you to push through this stuff. You are going to protect yourself. There is nothing negative about that. VPNs are fun and costsaving too! A VPN bypasses geographical restrictions so you can access websites you normally can’t or you could start Netflix’s one month free trial over and over again- forever. And it’s legal! (unless you use it to buy weapons etc.,) Don’t tell yourself that you are too tired and that you will do this tomorrow. Because that isn’t going to happen and you know it. You have to do this right now. You only have to click on it. Don’t let this/shit/life just happen to you. Take yourself seriously. Get a VPN.

Privacy is not a privilege, it’s a fundamental human right

warmhappycat

Hey is thatoneprivacysite still good? The link works and it does take me to an article about vpns, but it just looks like an ad for expressvpn with extra steps.

skeleskeeller

No they switched to https://thatoneprivacysite.xyz/#simple-vpn-comparison a couple years ago

Welcome to the VPN Comparison! This section is meant to be a resource to those who value their privacy, specifical...

skeleskeeller

I had Trust.Zone when this post first started making the rounds on Tumblr and I forgot about it after Biden took office. I recently sent them an email asking why my subscription wasn’t automatically renewed and why their website hasn’t changed since 2017(?). Their answer:

Shady people, good people, this company only cares about privacy and doesn’t care who it serves. But now with Trump and Musk this is the only VPN I’ll use.

firerockt

I understand some people might not want to use this VPN on moral grounds, but it’s genuinely one of the very few VPNs set up in a way that no authority can touch you. ExpressVPN and other ‘popular’ options operate in jurisdictions favorable for profits but their privacy is just a band-aid our government can easily rip off if it demands information. I’m a trans man, I’m afraid of our government, and at this point, I simply don’t care anymore.

moonxchaos

For a second I was like noooooo, not this long post again! Haven’t seen it in years and I always thought it was a bit extreme and exaggerated. Now that we are in 2025, I am like, nahh, these people knew what they were talking about all along. First time I am reblogging this.
