Office romance
Fuma is that office worker that everyone loves. He is the designated ball of sunshine of the office.
His desk is decorated with pictures of him and friends, he has pokemon merch everywhere. He makes a neat coffee. His presentations are always clear, and he is always down to pick up some lunch and have a laugh.
On the other hand, you are his manager. Your office is strictly decorated with an orchid, given to you for your first day at work. You are strong headed, honest, a fiery worker and globally the nightmares for all your colleagues.
All of them, except for Fuma.
He is always the first one to take your defense when the shit talking goes to far, he opens the door for you and support you during your presentations. He is also the one that asks if you want a coffee when he is ordering it for everyone.
You fall for him slowly, discreetly. You start to wonder if he is coming to come by your office to give you a coffee or asks if you want to get lunch together.
The day you have to work overtime because of your boss, he sees the light in your office and comes to help you. Making sure you stay hydrated, helps you get your work done and even organizes the files.
The fondness grows slowly for the two of you.
And before you both understand, you end up holding hands under the table of the conference room. Meeting discreetly in the stairs to share a stolen kiss, and sharing a ride together to get home.
Secret admirer
Fuma is a shy man and for him going to talk to you is actually pretty difficult.
He is one of the college nerds, the top nerd of his computer science major, and you on the other hand is the girl everyone loves, and knows. After all you won multiple literature contest and were active in the journal with articles.
He first noticed you the day you helped him out carrying out basketballs to the gym. You were kind, had a bright smile and a sweet laugh.
From that day on he kept noticing you, in the library as you wrote, in the cafeteria laughing with your friends, under the oak tree reading a book.
You were everywhere and he only saw you, admiring you from afar. His best friend Yudai kept teasing him about how he was head over heels for you and yet had only talked to you once.
But Fuma was fine with it, just catching glimpses of you and silently admiring you from afar.
What he did not know was that you had noticed him just the same. The guy that was always laughing with his friend, that played basketball every Wednesday at 5 pm, thone wearing a different pokemon shirt every monday morning.
Both of you admiring each other from afar, and yet, never taking that step to talk to the other, too shy to dare.
Thanks to @shadow-dragon-week for the template! I was worried Esha might not get a bingo, but then I got to the second half of the sheet and... yeah, she's good. The bestest lil dragon <3
… i heard we were making plagueround/st churnley’s sonas?
Meet George Bi (毕然叶) !
He transferred to St. Churnleys a little bit into the school year because he has a September birthday and his curse manifested shortly after.
please please please if you like him and want to talk about him or your own plagueround character please feel free to message me i desperately would love to chat <3
more sketches and rambles about his curse and other lore under the cut ;)
in the sketch you can see he’s crossed out his dead name and written George over it; he “wasn’t a boy” (but he liked pretending to be a boy) before turning 10 and having his curse manifest, and it was basically a gender reassignment curse (instead of surgery lol). his parents kind of just decided “guess youre a boy now” because the curse decided so. his parents arent really sure what to make of it but do value his happiness and he seems happier to them. george isn’t so convinced on being a boy but loves that he gets a fresh slate, a new name, and this time he gets to “pretend to be a boy”.
(as a sort of author’s note, he’s trans masc but sort of ambiguous gender wise, if that means hes non-binary, agender, genderqueer, etc i havent really considered but yeah)
st churnleys and nurse lenny have access to puberty blockers because this happens more often than one might expect.
doesn’t like having long sleeves (sensory crap) and likes hats because theyre genderful but doesnt like wearing them for too long because they make his head itch (again, sensory issues). because of this he either has his blazer sleeves rolled up or will completely ditch it whenever possible.
as a little kid he had a bowl cut (because its an asian rite of passage and makes him look like a mushroom which is related to his curse ;)) and when he got to st churnleys he had long hair with asymmetrical bangs but convinced his roommate to cut it with craft scissors after discovering that it made his curse more difficult to manage
now his curse…
the last sketch isn’t canon because its a bit too grim and complicated to draw lol but basically his curse causes him to melt like an inky cap mushroom
its a sort of cycle that differs its pacing based on his mood (if he’s unhappy the melting happens quicker) which takes a very long time for him and everyone else to work out. after he’s hit the last level of meltification he can’t really attend classes because hes not fully there but its a matter of a nights sleep and he’ll wake up completely reformed.
the long hair and bangs made it hard to manage because it would melt all in his face and mix into his face meltiness so he couldnt just brush it away
now the name lore for the real ones who stuck around through all my rambles…
毕然叶 is a collection of chinese characters (which all are actual name bits i swear) whose meanings i thought fit him (the middle one just sounds good)
if you dont know how chinese names work, the first character (毕) is his surname Bi and the other two (然叶) are his given names
毕 (at least from my research) means complete. his curse means that bits of his physical form literally drip and melt away, decomposing and then after the end of the cycle reappearing. this is a physical representation of how his (undiagnosed) depression and autism make him feel. he feels like he’s missing things that he needs to function (when hes melting he loses things like dexterity because hes melting, and otherwise he has trouble socializing like other boys, and executive dysfunction sorts of things) that everyone else seems to possess. additionally he feels like he’s not fully a boy and later will realize he doesnt like people like others do (my aro/ace boy). the idea behind the last name meaning ‘complete’ is that despite feeling incomplete, he isn’t. sort of like the tin man from the wizard of oz.
然 is the random one that i found from an example of a chinese given name that just sounded good to me… technically it means ‘right’ or ‘correct’ but it can also be a way to conjugate other words and i found it from a name that (apparently) meant ‘bright and joy’. the idea was that naming him after brightness would contrast the dark tar-like appearance he takes on because of his curse. a close contender (which i just didnt like the sound of to be honest) was spring which has the idea of renewal that the last character has. bonus bit about this is that in some families this character will be shared by all the kids in the same generation which is the case for george’s family so his name is 毕然叶 and he doesnt have siblings but his cousins names are then also 毕然__.
叶 literally translates to ‘leaf’ but i saw a name definition i liked saying that it ‘[embraces] the concept of growth, renewal, and the cyclical nature of life’ which is very poignant and fitting for george who is in a constant cycle of decomposing and then being renewed like some awful phoenix
thats basically all i have figured out for him, i’d like to come up with a way to make him a playable character with stats but i dont really have any dnd knowledge
Al can punch through human bodies and catch RPGs, so he could probably easily crush bone with his bite. Sexy, but unlikely, because that's a lot to clean up.
TW: Suggestive. (Dazai’s in it, of course it’s suggestive.)
Dazai trailed patterns with his finger on the skin of Chuuya’s stomach, unable to fall asleep.
Chuuya turns to face him.
“Can’t sleep either, huh?” Dazai asks.
The ginger shakes his head in reply. “What’s keeping you up?”
Dazai shrugs. “Hell if I know, you?”
“Don’t know either, just can’t sleep.”
They laid in silence for a bit, before Dazai spoke up again.
“You know what would tire us both out?” He asks suggestively, his hand trailing to Chuuya’s waist band.
Chuuya slaps his hand away. “I’m already tired I just can’t sleep.”
The detective sighs melodramatically. “Chibi is no fun.”
The ginger rolls his eyes at his husband’s antics.
“Can’t I at least get a kiss?” He pleads, pulling Chuuya closer by the waist.
“God, you are so clingy, fine.”
Chuuya presses a kiss to the brunettes lips, and Dazai kisses him back with fervor.
Chuuya attempts to pull away, but Dazai’s hand had moved to the back of his hand to keep him there, and though if he really wanted to, he could out strengthen his lanky husband, he found himself wanting to stay like this, if only for a moment longer.
Dazai did eventually pull away, having to breath, though more so just not wanting to suffocate his husband than caring about his own lungs.
“Satisfied?” The shorter man teases, already knowing the answer.
“No, but it’ll do for now.” He moves to nuzzle his face against the crook of Chuuya’s neck.
The blue eyed man pressed a kiss to the top of his husband’s head, threading his fingers through his hair.
“I love you.” He says quietly, knowing full well they’d both still be awake for a while yet.
