Kenneth & Sebastian stories (end)

[sebadztian]

Teacher AU

Sebastian is a History teacher and Ciel is a Math teacher. They're still fairly young, so they're popular among their students. Not to mention they're charming, handsome, and most importantly, their classes are never boring!

Boys want to be like them, and girls simply want them.

But only Undertaker - the Headmaster - knows that they go home together.

[cloudplaygrounds]

It is snowing again. The season had changed, and yet it is snowing again. Lan Zhan hates the snow. Not for the unforgiving chill that accompanies it, but for the way it reminds him of his mother's absence. He feels this sting at a much higher intensity than the frozen flakes could ever produce. Now, he could choose to stay trapped in the bitter nostalgia of the moment, or he could glance to the right where his husband just stepped out onto the deck. As he stares in quiet contemplation, Lan Zhan takes a moment to appreciate how the snowflakes that fall onto Wei Ying's hair closely resemble precious gems. Wei Ying is Lan Zhan's precious gem. And just like that, once he meets his husband's eyes, Lan Zhan shares a rare gift that is the slightest upturn of hip lips. Yes, the season had changed, but so had he. No longer the boy who had knelt in the snow following his mother's death, but the man who stands in the snow, his soulmate by his side. As the pair stands together, hand in hand, body and soul intertwined like the whispers of snowy breeze around them, Lan Zhan thinks that maybe the snow is okay. As long as he has Wei Ying, he shall not hate anything ever again.

Falling for Konoha Akinori - A (long) Headcanon.

Fukurodani Academy is huge, how do they expect newbies to get used to this place? You stumble at every step, stopping at every single building and you're going insane at how you still have not found the building of your classroom. Coming to school early was the best decision you've ever made. However, the tiredness and sleepiness (you barely slept a wink because of the nerves) was slowly creeping up to you. You decided to stop and sit at a bench, rubbing your sleepy eyes. "Are you lost?" You jumped at the sudden voice and turned around to see a fellow student. His hair was a bit messy but his uniform was so neat, as if being handled with so much care. "A bit," you whispered, slightly embarrassed. How dumb do you have to be to get lost? In a school. "The buildings here are confusing," he laughs. You take the time to read the name tag on his blazer. Konoha Akinori. Pretty name, you thought to yourself. "Which class are you in?" You decided to show him the paper you're holding, not trusting your own voice. Konoha smiles. "Seems like we're classmates," Damn. He has a pretty smile.

Despite being classmates, you barely talk to Konoha. You occasionally see the back of his head, and you'd find yourself stealing glances when you hear him laugh. But, that's about it. See, school isn't that bad. It's your fourth week at Fukurodani Academy, you've made your share of friends, and everyone's nice. Despite all that though, you still think that group assignments are the death of you. Why was this even necessary? Can't you just be at peace? If doing group assignments is not bad enough, having been paired with someone you're trying to avoid is worse. Being paired with Konoha is not the end of the world, but it sure as heck felt like it.

Konoha's obnoxiously smart. He's extremely sarcastic too, although he will never admit it. You work with him in silence, and it's something that you are thankful for. You don't think you can even talk to him anyway. It's not like you share common interests. Sometimes, though, when he does speak, you sometimes compare his voice to honey. Sweet, smooth, pretty. It gets really annoying.

Konoha enjoys making you annoyed. He laughs every time your eye rolls, he'd giggle when he makes you huff and his favourite free time is tormenting you. The only thing you can do, though, is take a deep breath and let him do his thing. He'll get bored of it and you, right?

Konoha's working on your project well, but the speed that he's doing it is making you anxious. It's less than a week till you have to turn in your work, and Konoha's progress is slow. "We have to turn this in next week, you know? You better speed up." you say, biting the tip of your pen. "What's the rush? Can't I just enjoy my time with you?" he says cooly, eyes never leaving yours. And that is enough to let you know that you're absolutely fucked because you have a crush on Konoha Akinori.

The weeks pass by, and you're back to only-stealing-glances-of-Konoha Akinori. You're back at the no talking basis and it lowkey frustrates you. However, in your head, you know that if Konoha wanted to talk to you, he would. And if he chooses to not talk to you, then you will choose to move on and get rid of the feelings you have for him. It's stupid anyway. There's no way Konoha will like you.

Autumn comes to an end, and so did your feelings for Konoha. You no longer feel the need to steal glances, no more frustrations if he doesn't talk to you, and you feel nothing when you see his face or hear his voice. And it's the most at peace you feel. That is until a third year approached you during lunch, taking a seat in front of you, showing you the biggest smile you have ever seen. "I'm just wondering," she says. "Do you happen to be in any clubs?"

Standing at the entrance door of the gym, you now realise that you're completely fucked. What do you mean you signed up to be the manager of the volleyball club? And why is Konoha Akinori there, standing, just looking at you and smiling obnoxiously? What do you mean you have to do this for the next two years? How are you going to handle being around Konoha Akinori so much? But, also, why do you insist on staying? Even when you have so many opportunities to turn away and run, why didn't you?

You've had a fair share of compliments being thrown to you about the way you look. You've had confessions every now and then, and you've had your fair share of dates. But, none of the them ever lasted more than 3 months. It does not bother you though. Being in a relationship or not, that does not matter to you. In fact, that's the least of your problem. To Konoha, though, whenever a guy comes over to talk to you, it ends up causing him to spike the ball a little too hard, or it'll prompt him to scoff and roll his eyes, walking out of the gym and only coming back after a few minutes or so. When you said yes to a date with Kuroo, a middle blocker from Nekoma, you could feel his sharp glare burning the back of your head. But it doesn't matter because Konoha doesn't care about who you date right? Why would it bother him? It's not like he has feelings for you.

It's been a week since your date with Kuroo, but you have to admit, it's not going too well. Kuroo's funny and smart and kind, and he cares about you a lot. But to you, he's just.. Kuroo. The next time Fukurodani and Nekoma had a practice match, you decided to talk to Kuroo to end things with him. "I don't think it's going really well," you tell him, playing with the hem of your shirt. "You're sweet and funny and I like you a lot but-" "But I'm not him," Kuroo said, cutting you off. You look up to him and blinked. You tilt your head and furrow your brows, obviously taken aback and confused. "You're not who?" Kuroo just let out a giggle and pat your head. "It's alright. You'll work it out," is all he said, leaving you there, standing outside the gym, still confused. "He's not who?" you whisper to yourself. Why are men so confusing?

End of part 1. we have a few more parts coming folks because i constantly think about Konoha Akinori, it's actually unhealthy. Anyway!

Artificial intelligence therapist Au Al-an/ Robin

Okay hear me out.

Robin is an intergalactic therapist/ researcher who studies Ais and rehabiltates them so they can be safely resold back into the ai ship market to pair with ships of many kinds for many uses.

She has the repretation as being damn good at what she does, but also as a anti-social bitch with an ego to boot.

So it comes as no surprise when she pisses off Xenoworks and her superiors feel she needs to get a bit humbled..

She gets landed with a case a particularly volitile AI recovered from an enigmatic vessel set for imenant neutralization.

But Instead of cowering from the challenge doomed to fail, Robin decides to rub salt in the aching egos of her bosses by willingly accepting the case.

Little does Robin know the downword spiral her action would result in..

Immediately she's paired off with her new patient a bitter and apathetic Ai refering to itself as Al-an, his file pointing to a dangerous habits of viweing humans as an inferior, chaotic, destructive species and even statistically warned them eventually man's artificial intelligence would someday turn on them.

Instantly Robin sees a challenge and sets to work, but after a few weeks of Al-an being utterly counter productive and unresponsive to her attempts to socialize with the cryptic AI, in short much prying and Al-an fighting her every step of the way in terms of her bonding attempts.

But when Al-an finally cracks spiraling into a traumatic and chaotic breakdown.

Robin realizes she's not just dealing with a normal case, the Ai is not only a volatile asshole but also a mourning alien consciousness preserved by artificial intelligence, an actual entity hiding opposed to artificial intelligence, once stationed within the remains of a downed alien space vessel previously seized and supposedly discovered by Alterra corp and salvaged in hopes of producing a new advanced Artificial intelligence prototype.

Unfortunately Alterra either wants their perfected prototype or they want the out of control AI distroyed…

Things get sticky from here, as Robin still kinda wants that sweet success.. Neh.. And she does want to rub her success in her superior's faces.

And Al-an? This AI has other plans..

Deeming his new therepist/ not friend ( he's a tsundere let him live damn it!)'s high tech futuristic home prime artificial realestate, the AI has fled out of her containment PDA and infected her home's virtual database, replacing the once outdated systems with his own presence, having found solace in fact that he not only can actively control mechanisms throught her home, feed her Trivalve and lock door, but also access visual feeds and see a world he was stripped of millinias ago.

Unfortunately this spells trouble for Xeno works as things quickly escalate as the now possesive AI announces he has imprinted on the home and its occupants and stubbornly declares he will stay there just as Alterra begins to demand their prototype back and send agents to retrieve the missing asset.

Mostly a comedy but also a wholesome drama, romance because Robin learns that being an assholish loner all the time gets lonely and maybe her bosses are not actually her enemy. And Al-an learns not the over feed Robin's pets or turn the water cold while she is in the shower…or blow up unfamiliar vehicles entering her driveway.

And we'd get cheesy wholesome feels because Frankly everyone kinda just needs a hug even if Al-an acts like he doesn't ; w;

invisible string h.rj

how life is with bff Renjun :’)

warnings: none. fluff w/ a little bit of angst

note: not proof read bare w me 😔☝🏻

Renjun have been your friend for 15 years. Both of you grew up together, basically spent half of your life with him. You were used to people assuming that you guys are dating, and both of you usually doesn’t care.

Even your and his friends ships the both of you, sometimes even questions if you guys are really just friends. Because who the hell cancels a blind date just to go grocery shopping with his bestfriend?? who the hell leaves on a clubbing night with his friends because you were craving mcdonalds????

Renjun Huang. Renjun Huang would do that. He was always one call away. He’s always ready to drop everything when it comes to you, and sometimes you wonder “why is he like this?” but you know…. maybe it was an act of kindness..? since you’re his bestfriend for 15 years. You can’t be falling for this can you??

9:35 AM

Your thoughts were interrupted when you heard someone open your bedroom door.

It was Renjun.

“You’re awake. Let’s eat, i cooked breakfast”

He always do this too. It’s like you get a bestfriend premium package. Renjun goes to your dorm every weekends to apparently spend time with his 15 years bestfriend. This only happened recently though. Since his university was far from yours, he came up with this idea to hang out every weekend to stay connected and relevant to each other.

“Will you stop typing on your phone and actually eat and talk to me?” Renjun said while looking at you annoyed because he was blabbering already about his week only to realize you weren’t listening.

“Sorry, i was talking to my friends.” You reasoned, but you were actually tweeting in your private account freaking out because you were still not used to this set up.

“You’re talking to your friends while your bestfriend HERE for 15 YEARS is staring at you because you were supposed to spend time with him and not let him watch you talk to others.”

Rj said completely annoyed. You laughed at his half annoyed half sulking face. You said you’re sorry and actually talked to him happily.

10:28 AM

Both of you finished breakfast and went to watch a movie in your living room. At first, you guys argued about what genre of the movie will be. You wanted to watch a horror movie but he said it was too early for that and suggested watching romance movie instead.

You ended up agreeing with him and both decided to watch Titanic. You guys were halfway through the movie and this isn’t the first time both of you watched this movie. But you hated him and yourself for choosing this movie

because now you’re actually fucking crying at 11:30 AM. Seriously? WHY would you be crying at 11 freaking am??

You’re sitting in the couch laying your head in Renjun’s chest sobbing and crying your heart out while munching your popcorn while Renjun was laughing at your crying face. This isn’t the first time he sees you crying, he just finds it amusing that you really do cry because of a movie.

01:18 PM

You were sound asleep in Renjun’s chest. Tired from all the crying and you were comfortable leaning on his chest. He only stared at you, wiping the dried tears on your face and sometimes giggles everytime he remembers your crying face. He lets you sleep on his chest and slept on his own.

03:10 PM

You woke up without Renjun beside you. You checked your phone notifications and saw his message that said he was buying ingredients for dinner and that he couldn’t wake you up because you were sleeping peacefully. You smiled at his thoughtfulness. You’d be lying if you say that you don’t think about if you guys were something else. But you already accepted that you guys were only bestfriends long time ago.

You liked him back in 7th grade until 9th grade. You only acted as his friend though. You didn’t try sending signals and making a move, you knew he didn’t look at you and think of you that way. He would tell you about girls he like and his type, you would do the same but the difference is you actually talk about him. He just doesn’t know.

7th grade.

It’s monday. You were seating next to the window in your classroom, watching sport players training in the field while listening to music playing in your airpods. You felt someone seat next to you, but didn’t bother looking because you already knew it was Renjun. He would always do this during class break and annoy you, but this time, he didn’t do anything but actually just sat next to you while reading a book you recommended him a week ago.

You looked at him, he suddenly looked different…? Him actually focused in reading a book and his hair styled differently than usual…made you think he looked different..

of course, he looked different. He changed his hairstyle to the hairstyle you also recommended to him a week ago saying that it would look good in him. You weren’t aware that him changing his hairstyle would also make your feelings for him change.

8th grade.

Today was nothing different from your other school days. You went to class, studied future lessons in the library after and now you’re going home. Went to the convenience store first to buy ice cream and eat it while walking home.

You were walking home when you walk past your village’s park. You saw a figure that looked familiar with another figure that also looked familiar.

It was Renjun. With your class muse…?

They were talking. Renjun was saying something while she was only smiling at him and listening. Renjun pulled her into a hug.

And she hugs him back. She was the girl Renjun was talking about days ago. She’s pretty, smart, sporty, and kind. Totally his type.

Did he confess? Did she say yes?

The ice cream you were eating melts as your heart also breaks. Salty tears were about to fall so you walked fast while trying to stop yourself from crying. So many thoughts was running into your mind. “Why am i crying? why does it hurt? I’m only his bestfriend.”

“What am i gonna say when he tells me about this?”

You finally got up to your room, went straight to your bed to cry your heart out. You already put your phone on dnd to avoid receiving calls and messages from him. And to also distance yourself from everyone. You would just make up an excuse tomorrow why you weren’t able to answer his calls and messages.

9th grade.

It was thursday. You were eating with your other friends at your school watching the sport players train in the field. They were blabbering about their crushes when they asked you “What about you? Are you interested in someone?” Your friend asked smiling.

You smiled back, bittersweet smile. “No, i’m not interested on someone right now.” Your other friend suddenly giggled. “Are you sure? because the first time i saw you, you were with a guy! A little too close with him to only just be friends.” She was a transferee. She didn’t know much about my friendship with Renjun.

You and your friend also laughed.

“That was her childhood bestfriend, dummy!” Your friend butted in. You watched her mouth form an 0 shape and smiled apologetically.

You smiled back. You were used to people mistaking your relationship with Renjun.

But it’s true. You guys were a little too close to each other especially now that he has a girlfriend. And so you’ve decided to avoid him. It’s been 2 weeks actually, going 3 weeks. You haven’t talked to him, not even a single word.

You weren’t replying to his messages, he was restricted from all of your social media accounts and you also avoid bumping into him at school. Though, he tries to talk to you at school but during lunch break he would always be with his girlfriend or his bball team after class.

But today you saw him walking from the other side of the field. Your friends were talking to each other and you were staring at him, it was lunch break. He’s with his girlfriend. Of course.

He saw you. He waved. You also waved back.

Maybe it was time to stop avoiding him and let him go. You thought that it was immature to just throw your friendship with him just like that. Though, you really needed that space.

That day was the day when you accepted that he was only your bestfriend. Only ever will be your bestfriend. Maybe he’s your soulmate. Platonic soulmate. A soulmate doesn’t have to be a romantic partner.

03:49 PM

You smiled at the bittersweet memories as you heard the door open revealing Renjun carrying what he bought at the market. You sat up and walked towards him to help him. He says thank you as you helped him organize the foods he bought.

You went to your room and took a shower while Renjun was in the living room playing PUBG with Haechan and Chenle. You heard their arguments and playful remarks while playing.

04:45 PM

You finished showering and doing your skincare. You cleaned your room and when you went out of your room, you saw Renjun preparing the ingredients in the kitchen to start cooking. You went up to him and asks how can you help.

Both of you did your parts in preparing dinner.

06:35 PM

Both of you just finished preparing for dinner and were just waiting for the rice to cook. While waiting, he opens up the photo album from your bookshelf. It was the photo album of the both of you ever since you guys were kids.

Reminiscing memories with him. “I still remember this. This was the day when you cried because i didn’t want to play princess tea party with you.” Renjun said staring at the picture of you crying while he was standing cluelessly. You were 9 years old and he was 10 years old in this picture.

07:20 PM

You were eating dinner with him. Both of you talked about how university life was treating the both of you. How you both wants to go back to your province and spend time with family.

He smiles listening to you talk about how you miss going to you guys’ spot in the province, you stopped talking as he wiped the side of your lip. “There was a stain.”

Both of you finished eating, as you offered to wash the dishes since he has been doing all the chores since earlier. He agreed.

You thought he went to the living room while you were washing the dishes but he’s actually watching you from behind. When he suddenly comes up behind you and hugs you from behind.

“I really missed you. Wish i could stay here all the time.” You laughed.

“You’re so dramatic.”

“I’m trying to be sweet what.” He said sounding offended as you literally made him feel like you’re rejecting his affection for you.

You’re used to this. His love language was physical touch. You don’t think differently of his actions anymore.

10:45 PM

You’re seating in the couch with Renjun beside you as you watch him play PUBG on his Ipad.

You yawned as you were already sleepy. Renjun heard and also noticed that your eyes were almost closing.

“You’re such a sleepy head.”

“You’re still not used to it? You have to.” You defended as he only laughed at your defense.

You told him that you’re gonna go to your room and sleep already since you can’t wait for him to finish his game. He said okay and kissed your forehead and went back to play his game.

You went to your room and slept. You smiled as you wish nothing of this would change. You don’t wish for anything else and you’re contented with what you have with him. He is indeed your soulmate. :)
