@teenagegirl-forever im sooo late but here!! fic under the cut
i just needed company now : 0.7k
"Well. I don't think there's anything left to do?" Sophie asks, glancing around the table where the rest of Team Valiant is gathered. Stina gives her an incredulous look and goes to speak, but Biana cuts her off.
"Nope!" She replies cheerfully, pulling the files away from Sophie with a smile. It melts off her face as easily as it formed when she turns to meet Stina's glare, but Sophie is too distracted to notice. "We can continue tomorrow," Biana adds, directing her words to Stina. Slightly miffed still, but somewhat satisfied, Stina exits the room, Dex and Wylie following not far behind. Biana knows Dex would have stayed to help her except he had this device or bomb or serum to work on-- she's not entirely sure. Soon, she and Sophie are the only people left in Havenfield's living room.
They'd all made a decision to meet there because Sophie had most of the files they were using. Whatever the reason, Biana was grateful for it now as she watched Sophie droop somewhat, her gaze sliding around the room without registering anything. She'd been dazed all throughout the meeting.
"What's up?" Biana asked softly, so as to not startle Sophie too much. It didn't help. Sophie's eyes darted around like a spooked bunny, and Biana didn't comment about how she'd been around Vanishers for years now, and instead just flickered back into view.
"I.. I think I just need some sleep. Didn't really get enough last night," Sophie replied eventually, but Biana didn't miss the way she winced as she tugged on her eyelashes. She gently pulled Sophie's fingers away, and bit back her comment on how she was pretty sure Sophie didn't get enough sleep most nights.
"Do you want me to call Edaline?" Biana asked, still holding Sophie's hand. Neither of them pulled away, so she began rubbing slow circles on the back of her hand. Even as Sophie replied agitatedly that she didn't want to worry Edaline or Grady, she didn't pull away. Biana took it as a sign to continue.
"Let’s get you to bed then, c'mon," Biana said encouragingly, guiding Sophie to her bedroom. Somedays, she still marveled at the fact that Grady and Edaline had given Sophie the entire second floor as her room. Today was not that day. Today, she made sure Sophie did not trip on any of the stairs, and then made sure she took off her socks and shoes before lying down, before pulling the blanket up.
"Where's Ella?" She asked, searching for the elephant. Sophie blushed slightly, and Biana had to focus a little harder to pay attention to her answer. She scrounged out Ella from where she had fallen off the bed, and tucked her in next to Sophie. Then, as Sophie's eyelids seemed to droop with every passing second, a small part of her wished that she had Sophie or Keefe’s photographic memory, so she could capture this scene forever in her head. Alas, she had to make do with her own subpar one.
"Are you gonna go?" Sophie asked, slurring her words slightly. Biana marveled at the fact that she had managed to make it out of bed at all this morning, what with how close to slumber she was after barely a minute in bed.
"Do you want me to go?" Biana asked honestly. She would have loved to stay but she knew Sophie always felt too exposed. If she had people coming over to her house unexpectedly and unwantedly as much as Sophie did, she probably would have appreciated to sleep in privacy at least. Especially since Sandor was far more diligent about staying with his charge than Woltzer was.
"..No," came the reply from under the blanket. Biana allowed herself a goofy smile as she made her way to the chair in the corner of the room.
"Aww, you love me," She joked, hoping to hear a laugh or even just an playful dissent. Instead, she heard a soft "Mhm," that made her heart flutter, even though she reasoned to herself that Sophie probably meant in a way that she did all her friends. She didn't get a chance to respond before Sophie's breathing evened out and her soft little snores filled up the room. Biana had the fleeting thought that even her snores were adorable before she snapped out of it, berating herself for it.
You're not her girlfriend! She reminded herself, but that reminder seemed futile as felt herself doze off on the chair as well.

this was sooo fun i might do a part 2 once they wake up but this felt like a good place 2 end sooo
who me? writing a mlb fic? yes, yes i am. loveynoir oneshot, coming out idk when but here's a snippet!!

“You’re not Ladybug,” is the first thing Loveybug hears, and she turns around, her lips curled in the smile she always kept hidden as Ladybug, delighted to see Chat Noir. He doesn’t seem to be sharing her joy in the slightest, but her smile hardly falters.
“Of course not! I’m Loveybug!” She says, taking in every feature of his face. Oh dear, how had she never appreciated him before? Everything from the golden locks of his hair, down to his bell, suit, and tail was beautiful. She really ought to have given more attention to him. “Have I ever told you, you’re really beautiful?” She asked genuinely. Chat Noir continued staring at her, dare she say, glaring?
“No, you haven’t, because we’ve never met before, because you’re not Ladybug,” Chat gritted out. Loveybug giggled.

yes it's short however i am writing it rn so it should get longer.
Could I request who you think would be the best and worst at flirting?? Like scale of Casanova/a Natural to mumbling fool in front of their crush for the haikyuu boys? It could be anyone from the teams, though I'd also love to hear your thoughts on the miya twins lol
a/n: Oh gosh okay this is going to be interesting. In general, I love the twins! They’re absolute menaces and I love putting them in shenanigans together. Osamu is an absolute darling and one of my favourite characters. Atsumu is a menace to society and his hair pre time skips looks like burnt cheesecake lmao. But I still love the loser (affectionate) especially making fun of him. I have a Haikyuu OC that also does that lmao. She has an au paired with Osamu too.
Okay I picked a few characters and rated them and how they flirt! I hope you enjoy. It’s nice to write some Haikyuu!!
Tags: Headcanons, Flirting, Flirting with their crush, teasing, banter, fluff, undercut because long post
Rintarou Suna (Natural with fun teasing banter):
He’s not the kind of person to flirt with everyone but when he has someone he likes he’s a little shit tease. You can give it back to him though he can take it.
Very much a friends to lovers type of guy so in the crush stages theres a lot of back and forth flirting going on. He gives compliments pretty freely. Sometimes they’re just nice genuine ones. ‘Huh I like that shirt.’ or ‘Looks good.’ but most of the time they have that teasing tone. ‘Aw did you dress up just for me?’ It’s got that half joking, half curious vibe behind it.
A lot of his flirting comes across through how much he talks to you in general. He will not waste his time or bother with people he doesn’t have interest in. He’s the kind of person to get to know someone before relationship so he’ll feel you out.
Sending messages. Likes sending pictures. Not necessary flirty pictures (although will send just selfies sometimes and you flirt back and forth telling each other you look hot) but just general day to day pictures in order to connect. Sends those ‘Damn wish I was there with you.’ messages.
Physical messing around like pretending to annoy you. Messing with your hair. Poking your cheek. Nuzzling his face against your shoulder. He’s a physically affectionate person and likes pushing the boundaries on friendship while crushing.
Seeks out physical touch and takes comfort in it. If he’s comfortable enough to sleep on your shoulder and let you make fun of him then you’re in.
Osamu Miya (Natural but Shy):
The kind of guy who moves at a steady pace with the subtle kind of flirt. The flirts that come out of no where and knock you out. It’ll be a normal conversation then ‘Oh is that new? huh, it’s nice.’ Soft smile and immeditately moves on in conversation. Like? did that just happen?
It’s also that he has his own brand of flirting where you have to know him to know he’s flirting. Ditching his brother to hang out with you? BIG deal. Sharing his food with you? BIG deal. Even making food for you.
It’ll seem like a friends thing with him too but that’s how he operates. He’s a stealthy friends to lovers guy. He’ll come in one day and be like ‘Oh, I made these did ya want to try?’ or ‘Here I made this for ya.’ Then when you’re done it’s. ‘Tell me what ya think. I wanna know ya opinion.’ LIKE BOY. The sweetest.
Learns your favourite drinks and snacks and will keep them on hand and just give them to you like gifts. ‘Gotcha something.’ Acts like it’s nothing too but wears that soft little smile.
Teasing is kind of his flirting too. That’s how he gets along with people by default but it’s teasing banter. If you come hang out with him or visit him a lot it’s all ‘Can’t get enough of me, huh?’ Osamu please.
If you give any of this back by the way he’ll love it because it’s his love language and he’ll give you that oh so sweet Osamu smile with a hint of a blush. He can give it but gets all shy getting it. He just doesn’t expect it? Sometimes he just gets so bold he forgets reciprocation exists and shuts down.
Atsumu Miya (Not a natural but has some charm):
I see him being somewhere in the middle. Like he can be super obnoxious to his fangirls, that’s canon, he does not give a shit about being all smooth and hot.
But he also has natural charisma and charm. However around his crush? A goddamn mess.
The wrong brash thing always comes out of his mouth. You always catch him when he’s fighting with his brother being a hot, loud mess. You see him being all dramatic when he flubs his serve.
See him being a weeping crybaby mess when his gran sends him a message that he’s a good boy. It’s actually endearing but he doesn’t know that. He’s just embarassed.
Then when he tries to talk to you it’s all bright blushes and loud unclear sentences at first. What? Takes a sec to cool down.
Okay now you can understand him he tries the smooth stuff. ‘Hey did ya catch my game yesterday?’ Then Osamu comes in with the ‘Ha the game ya flubbed ya serve so bad you fell flat on ya face?’ cue their arguement.
Will definitely always approach you though no matter how much he embarasses himself. If there’s one thing about Atsumu, he is persistent. The only thing that will stop him is your disinterest. Your interest and laugh (even if it’s at his expense) spurs him on. All the embarassment is worth it.
His flirting is also just asking questions. Always asking questions about you. Wants to know EVERYTHING about you. He never shuts up so the words just keep coming and coming he’s basically gushing over you wanting to talk to you so bad. (Tell him his hair is cool if you think he needs a breather he’ll shut down for a moment)
Tetsurou Kuroo (Thinks he’s a natural but becomes a mess)
In this mans head before he puts the flirting into practice he’s the smoothest motherfucker alive. He’s so cool. The coolest person you’ve ever seen and he is going to wow his crush. He’s going to wow you.
The second he sees you though his head is empty, his cheeks are burning and his mouth betrays him. He’s a hot mess. Goes to say good morning to you and ask how you are but he fumbles so hard over his words. It’s the funniest, sweetest thing too.
After the least smooth recovery of laughing himself off he’ll just stick with an ‘Um, hi.’ and go from there. If you laugh he figures at least he got a positive reaction and that was totally the plan. HE’s IN.
Every time he sees you doesn’t know what to talk about? His mind literally goes blank. Kind of just blurts words out? like ‘COFFEE!’ or ‘VOLLEYBALL!’ or ‘CLASS!’ without thinking and it’s up to you to nod your head and piece it together. Please be patient with him.
Like one time you deduced he wanted to get coffee. The other time he wanted to talk to you about volleyball. The other time was something about class. Once you get him talking he kind of relaxes and his mind fills with words again.
Once his words come back to him he tries flirting but this dork still doesn’t have the smoothest game. It’s all fun facts and smart ass remarks filled with banter which is still fun though.
His idea of flirting is ‘Hey did you know *insert random fact*’. If you counter his fact with a fact of your own he’ll say something like ‘Wow, I should treat you to a drink for teaching me something I didn’t know.’ and that’s the closest to smooth he gets.
The kind of guy who would say ‘Why thank you I grew it myself!’ if you compliment his hair. That’s how ‘smooth’ he is lmao. I love this dork.
Tobio Kageyama (Doesn’t know how to flirt but still pulls off sweet things)
My sweet sweet Kageyama tries his best but his head is just full of volleyball okay flirting is not on the agenda! Neither are crushes he just kind of feels very deeply for you kind of like you’re his favourite person.
So because you’re his favourite person he wants to share his favourite things with you. Volleyball being one of them. Talks about it a lot! But not just that he wants to know if you have a thing you’re passionate about. (God if it’s volleyball too he just will talk to you about it for hours.)
Will buy two things where he used to buy one because he wants you to have one. It’s him wanting to share his likes again. His milk drinks, yoghurt drinks? Two now. Will always offer one your way. Kind of blushy about it. It’s endearing. Again he doesn’t see it as a crush really unless it’s pointed out to him.
Invites you to games and to watch him play in general. He wants you to love volleyball as much as he does. It’s everything to him. He’ll spend time with you outside of that setting as a compromise if necessary.
Kageyama’s version of flirting is looking up to see you in the stands before a game and giving a subtle nod with a small smile. It’s meeting up with you afterwards and thanking you for your support. It’s being happy that you were there. It’s discussing all the things that went right and went wrong because he feels comfortable to do so.
It’s Kageyama saying that he likes hanging out with you but he probably won’t be the one to bring it up first. It’s him figuring out he has crush only when you or someone else points it out to him. It’s all the things he does because you’re his favourite person without realising it.
Timeskip Kageyama though, after taking all these years to realise what it all means might become a little bolder and more intent with his actions. And there will be a day he’ll confess he realises why you’re his favourite person.
Honorable Mentions:
Natural Flirt (Smooth talkers with no shame): Koshi Sugawara, Yuji Terushima, Morisuke Yaku, Kotarou Bokuto
what persephone wishes she had known / what no one thought to tell her
one: riches does not mean verdure to everyone.
the underworld is full of decadence like that of a lamb fresh of sacrifice
when she returns to the grecians
she will have to reacquire the penchant for wheat
and do so again twice a year every year.
each time, she will be delighted when re-meeting the divinely grown grain at her feast of welcome.
two: when opening a pomegranate, there need not be spillage of the syrup so long as the hands are gentle with the fruit.
no one taught her that the most pleasurable meals require effort and patience.
three: nobody will notice when you first come back and your friends will not be where you left them.
she will not find them altogether ever again except for at funerals and only then will she see the briefest flashes of the faces she could name once long ago.
four: someone did care where you had gone!
for so long did her mother tear apart the earth with pleads and wails to the thundering god above to give even the smallest hint. if only demeter had first determined to explore within the insides of gaia, out of the way of her fruit-bearing soil to where the poppy plant would be stillborn no matter the spellwork.
for so long did persephone never know, never hear such news of a famine, even as the souls trickled down the river styx more plentiful than usual.
even the goddess of crossroads knew this was not the path for the daughter of spring to yet embark on. but even she, of witchcraft and choices, can not undo the actions of others.
five: she will never go back to the way it was.
the rose, the violets, a larkspur, crocus and iris. they will bloom again but she will never look upon them the very same. she knows now that even the most luster of the living can and will die.
even as helios blesses her sunflowers to reach for him, there will always loom the threat of their wilting. these gardens she graced with her hands only blossom half the year now. the rest of it is spent striving to recreate such zenith while one is so far down below.

Summary:
Dex and Fitz are just friends. That's really all there is to it. Really, truly, just friends.
