#ttid asks

[thistimeitsdifferent--if]

can you tells us fun facts about the ROs? i looked it up but didn't find an ask like this 🤧

I absolutely can! There are tiny little fun facts on their profile cards, and some sprinkled in other asks, but I love my babies and don't mind giving y'all more fun facts about them!

Fun facts about...Kris!:

They're the second tallest in their family! Liam and their father are the tallest!

They love everything Apple-related, and I mean EVERYTHING. I wrote a small note to myself that when MC and Kris were younger, MC got Kris a pen with an apple top, and Kris has kept it ever since! (They still use the pen for when they write reports!)

They're scared of lightning and everything storm encompassing, if they even hear a sound or a little trickle of rain...they're running for the hills.

Their favorite color is green, and once in high school, they dyed their hair green! Liam bullied the shit out of them (affectionately) and dyed his hair green as well after he found out that Kris was actually getting bullied for it.

You'll see them jamming out to J-Pop music when they go out on cases, but once they see someone else, they switch it over to country, since that's what you'll hear almost everyone listen to in River Point.

Fun facts about...Dae!:

Workaholic, to the MAX. He'll be in his office grading papers, writing tests...but he'll also be doodiling a little bit. One time when MC stopped by for (SPOILER), they saw their face on Dae's notes and took a picture of it; no one knows, nor does Dae.

Will stare blankly at you if the conversation isn't going the way he wants, and no doubt will say, "Are you done spewing shit from your mouth?" A few slaps to the head will set him straight, try it!

Acts like an asshole to EVERYONE except his Mom, students, MC's younger sister, and the sweet old lady who makes his coffee order every morning.

Met Mal once and immediately felt intimidated, won't clarify why, and Mal doesn't know why either. (He thinks they're super cool and wishes he could be as easy breezy as them.)

Fucking DESPISES Kris, tolerates Liam only for the fact that he fixed his car once for free. (And because they share a favorite color)(He's childish like that)(It's blue btw)

Fun facts about...Mal!:

If you couldn't tell, Mal is the biggest sweetheart of all River Point; everyone knows their name, is known for helping a deer get out of a barbed fence, and has the cuts on their legs to show it.

Biggest people pleaser hands down, but isn't to be pushed around. Just because they like to help people doesn't mean they're stupid.

Wanted to be a vet, but was told no by their mom.

Embodyment of sunshine and rainbows, always smiling, gets the most compliments on their smile than the whole cast!

No clue why Dae is awkward around them, tries to avoid him as well. (He's way too prickly, but wouldn't mind going out for a beer with him.)

Favorite movie is the Percy Jackson movies, understands that it's super unrealistic, but loves it because they had a crush on Logan Lerman when they were younger.

How would the Ros react if Mc walked in on them changing? Also, how would they react if they walked in on mc?

Mama mia.

MC WALKING IN THEM

Kris's shirt is halfway off, their hair caught hanging as you walked in, and they froze. They turn their head to the opening of the door and cough loudly. They're unsure what to do, and with you staring at them, they feel even more unsure. Putting on their façade of the cocky one, they smirk and stand up straighter, a dark flush on their face betraying their nonchalance. "If you wanted to see me naked, all you had to do was ask." With that, you slam the door on him, a mumbled apology leaving your lips. Their posture slumps and they sigh, "Why was that so embarrassing..."

"Don't you know how to knock?" His shirt is already off, and his pants are unzipped and unbuttoned. Dae is barely fazed by this and is mostly just annoyed at the intrusion. Your brows furrow and your lips sag a little, "Bitch. The door was unlocked and had a gap. How was I supposed to know you were in here?" You both stare at each other for a couple of dreaded minutes until you notice that Dae's ears are getting red. He clenches his jaw and forces himself to look away from you. "You can leave now." His voice has a tinge of embarrassment, and you're about to tease him for it until he throws his shirt at you. "Out."

A squeak, a squeal, and a sort of scream are expelled from Mal's mouth when you open the door. Your eyes widen, and you shut the door as quickly as you opened it. "Sorry, Mal!" Mal's cheeks are dark and have a heat to them when touched, and they can feel every ounce of shyness and mortification rippling through their body. They crumble to their knees and groan onto the floor. "I need to lock my door." They grumble, muffled.

ROs WALKING IN ON MC

"Whoops! Sorry, sugar, next time lock the door!" Kris is about to close the door before they send one last message. "I like the undies." They giggle when you yell at them. They also continue to think about the interaction for the rest of the day.

Dae blinks tiredly, his eyes going from your bare legs to the top of your collarbone. "Oh." He doesn't fully understand what has happened until he notices you get the tiniest bit unnerved. "Oh." His eyes widen, and his cheeks flush a dark color. He quickly looks away from you, looking at the ground. "Uh, sorry, I'll knock next time, but also make sure you lock the door." He clears his throat and walks out, closing his eyes and leaning against the closed door.

"UHM!" Mal's eyes are as wide as saucers, and they're as loud as you can expect when walking in a half-naked person. "SORRY—YOU'RE WOW, BUT I'M SORRY—THE DOOR IS CLOSING NOW." They continue to mumble: "ohmygod." Countless times, as they walk away from the door.

Snippet of MC comforting Kris during a thunderstorm?

Ask, and you shall receive 😈

P.S. This is a long one! Not super long, but long enough hehe.

It's rainy when you make it to Kris's office, you walk in and notice them staring out the window, disassociating, shoulders taut and jaw clenched. Their hair is cascading down their back as you continue to observe, caught in a trance. Eventually, Kris notices you staring and breaks from their staring contest with Mother Nature from outside and takes solace in your gaze.

"What're you doing here, sundrop?" Their voice pinches at the end of their sentence; you can tell that they're starting to get nervous.

You take gentle steps over towards and sit on their desk facing them, blocking the window from their sight.

They let out a soft sigh at this, "Thanks—" They catch themselves, "Thank you." You raise an eyebrow, pretending not to know what they're talking about.

"I'm just sitting here, K," You say as you move your hand to their head, dragging your hand down to trace over their features. They begin to relax from the touch until a boom of thunder pounds the air. They jolt, almost fully out of the chair, and their breathing gets haggard.

You pull your hand back just as quickly and place your hand into your lap, picking at your fingernails. You observe them once more before you take action.

"K." You try to break through their panic, but they're not looking at you. "K." You continue.

They still won't look at you until you place a hand on their shoulder. "Kris!" They jolt and finally look at you, but their gaze keeps dancing around you. You move your hands to their face, "Hey, Kris. Look at me." They let out a noise of surprise, and finally, finally look at your eyes.

They're shaking, and their eyes are watering. They reach up to touch your hands to ground themselves, and eventually, they close their eyes. You lean your head towards theirs and rest on it. It's silent except for Kris's breathing.

You begin to hum, to try to distract Kris from the outside.

Thunder hits the skies once more, and they jump again, not as hard, but they let out a hiccup. You moved your hand from their cheek and place their own on your lap. They blink up at you, eyes glossed over as tears begin to slowly fall down their face. You then move your hands up to cover their ears, and their breath hitches.

You mouth: "I'm here, Kris."

Crimson decides to dust their cheeks as they read your lips, they then take their eyes to yours and soften. They lean forward, wrapping their arms around you, and begin to mumble, "Thank you." Over, and over, and over again.

After a couple of minutes, their breathing slows down as they lay their head onto your lap, falling asleep. And you run your fingers through their slightly knotted hair, carefully avoiding the knots to keep them calm.

"I got you, Kris." You whisper and look towards the window, rain still battering around you. "I got you."

Probably my best writing yet, honestly. Hope you enjoyed, anon, and everyone else who loves Kris. ;)

Hey 😉

On scorching summer days, MC treated the ROs like walking bonfires. They couldn't stand being too close; at the slightest sign of someone getting near, they’d take a quick step aside and let out a mocking "olé," like a confident bullfighter dodging an opponent. The stifling heat was already enough to deal with, and MC wouldn't tolerate anything more than just pinkies touching.

However, when the harsh winter arrived, the game changed completely. Casting aside their grumpy summer temperament, MC would transform into a heat-starved specter. Taking advantage of the ROs being distracted, they’d sneakily slide their hands and feet—cold enough to rival a snowman—under the ROs' clothes; and, of course, they’d press their icy nose against the back of their necks, just to tease them (hehe).

The ROs' reaction?

Ooooooooo!!!!! Amazing ask, anon!!

Kris jolts at the feeling of MC's nose on them, they almost bolt at the freezing temperature, but MC's arms are wound tightly around Kris's waist, as well as the biting hands under their shirt. "That was so cruel, man." They're strong enough to break the hold, but they don't, and smirk smugly as they lean back, almost crushing MC. "PAY BACK!"

"You're freezing. Let go." Dae grumbles, but he doesn't remove MC's hands from beneath his shirt, nor does he pull away from the freezing-cold nose. He continues to do what he was doing before, albeit a little distracted.

There's no slowing in the movement of what Mal was doing. They pay no attention to it, except for a brief glance at MC. They smile softly, "Are you comfortable?" With a nod, or a hum of acknowledgement from MC, they lean back slightly into the touch, with no loss of smile.

Idk if I sent this to you 🤔 I sent a lot of things to different ppl, lol.

But what do the ros have mc listed under on their phones? Also, does it change once they are together?

LOL, I actually love this ask.

Before dating:

MC's name in Kris's phone is: Tweedledee (MC's contact for them before they're dating is Tweedledum; it's been like this since forever, and neither of them has bothered to change it.)

MC's name in Dae's phone is: DO NOT PICK UP, in all caps, just like that. (As for Dae's contact in their phone is: DUMBDUMBDUMBDUMB, has been that way since high school. Still fits the present time.)

MC's name in Mal's phone is: 🤗🫂🗣️ (They're a frequent emoji user, and have never changed LOL. As for Mal in MC's phone is: Saving Grace. It's not really a spoiler if you've read their introduction post, but I won't be going more into that because it will be talked about in their route.)

While dating (won't say anything because of spoilers!):

Kris to MC: Sundrop

MC to Kris: Bigfoot

Dae to MC: Pick Up

MC to Dae: [SPOLIERS]

Mal to MC: 💜😊🏡

MC to Mal: Home

[thistimeitsdifferent--if]

how would the ROs react if the MC give them a sunlit smile?(I'm feeling cringey. Sue me. and I just finished a few romance manhwa) like, its afternoon and their on a walk or something and MC smile and the sun hits just right? I also put in 2 pics for an MC with a different personality stoic/bubbly ect

Mwahah, yes, give me more ideas to write… hehehe… (Give me recs for manhwas and I will read them...please, i beg.)

STOIC MC

Kris is beyond memorized. The way your skin glows in sunlight makes you seem as though you weren't part of this world. Everything about you has momentarily stunned their brain; the only thing filling it is you. You're stunning. Your eyes are pulling them deeper into the ocean of your beauty, and they don't want to swim back up. You've always been a calm presence in their life, a more grounding personality than they are. They've seen you smile maybe once or twice in their life. But nothing, nothing like this. The distant chirping of birds, the song the cicadas sing, and the breeze in the air make you seem inhuman. If this is a dream...don't wake them up.

Why hasn't he noticed before how ethereal you look? Why is the only thing Dae noticed about you how similar your expressions were? Why has he only just noticed that the world stops spinning when he sees this smile? If heaven strikes him down now, he'll ask to be reincarnated every time just to see you smile. He has always known you to be this stoic personality, and would often be annoyed by how he was never able to get under your skin, but he's even more annoyed that he never saw this smile.

"Wow." Mal is speechless—no, no. Scratch that. They're hyperventilating over how stunning you look. They try to keep calm, try not to scare that smile away. But, my lord, is it getting ever increasingly harder to not spew out how they think of you? Their heart is beating about a million times faster than it usually is, but they just have to get used to that if they see this smile on you once more.

BUBBLY MC

Kris quite literally squeals when they see you smile. Hell, they take out their phone and snap about a million pics, and given the redness on their cheeks, they love it. "AHHH, I love when you smile, it's as if a flower has bloomed and is glowing gorgeously." You give them a look that makes them pause, then they think about what they said and cringe a little. "Wow. Okay, so, that was a little cheesy, but who cares." They tackle you to the ground after that.

There's a stillness that takes over Dae when he looks at you. An almost tranquil feeling passes through him, his thoughts are buzzing with your gleaming smile. He can't see anything or anyone else but you. He steps forward, eyes on your top. His fingers touch the top of your top, brushing your collarbone. He clenches his jaw slightly as he removes a petal. Mumbling, "Flower, petal." You hum and give a quick nod, and you also realize that Dae hasn't moved, his eyes still on anything but your face. The tips of his ears are red, and he's very quiet. You reach a hand to his cheek, and that jolts him back into reality. His eyes widen, and he steps away. "I don't like you." "Okay, man." "I really don't." "Mhm."

Mal is already beaming before they see your face, but when you turn around to look at them, their smile becomes softer, and their face becomes gentle. "Man, you look straight out of a picture book." Your smile widens, and you let out a little laugh, "Thank you, Mal." "I'm being serious! You look like a fairytale—" They continue to ramble on, and they also haven't noticed that you stepped closer with a clover between your fingers. "Mal." "Huh?" They stop moving when you place the clover behind their ear, and they reach up before you remove your hand. They hold it gently, almost as if you were fragile to them. "Thank you." You both smile at each other; you're both going to be thinking about this moment for a while.

[thistimeitsdifferent--if]

So I was thinking about this. 😅 how would the Ros react if they got partner up with mc to do 7min in Heaven 👀

Also, would they do anything?

HI SHADOW! Let's say this is during the crushing phase. And for Kris and Dae, it's high school, and for Mal, it's the first year of college!! Also, this is very long. Small trigger warning!: Mention of throw-up, so I saved KRIS for the end!

"No." Is all Dae states. "Absolutely, fucking, not." He continues to stand his ground even after being semi-lifted up. "I'm not doing this. How many times do I have to say fucking no before you all get it into your fucking head that I don't want to do this." The door gets shut and locked, and he's standing right at the door, continuing to try to open the door. He bangs his head on the door and groans, "This is such a stupid and childish game. I refuse to even acknowledge that this is something that people do for fun." He turns to face you and walks deeper into the closet. "I don't even know why I came to do this stupid party. I have exams I need to study for." Grumbling, he sits down on the floor and props his legs up to shove his head between them. "So stupid. Honestly. I hate being here." You haven't said a single thing since you both got shoved into here, but you do move to sit down next to him. A couple of moments of silence pass between you two until you start to feel that someone is looking at you. You internally groan, and out of your peripheral vision, you see Dae staring intently at you. "Was this your idea?" It doesn't sound like a question, more like an accusation, that makes your blood slightly boil, but you refuse to give him the oh-so-needed attention he so craves. He continues to stare at you until he's next to your ear and blows air into it. You jolt and press your ear down into your shoulder. "The hell!?" "Oh, so now you notice me." "Bro." "I hate you." "No, you don't, Dae." He doesn't refute that. The sound of the door unlocking draws the attention of the room, and Dae practically bolts out. "Whatever."

The door slamming and locking behind both of you makes Mal sweat profusely. Of course, they're stuck with their roomate who they just met a couple of days ago. They knew they shouldn't have listened to their RA for a party like this. It also doesn't help that this closet is unbelievably small, filled to the brim, and hot. Oh, and you being attractive isn't helping either. "Sooooo..." Mal breaks the awkward silence. Your mouth is drawn into a line, and you bite the inside of your cheek, "So...." You both stare at each other until a warm feeling passes over Mal, and they clear their throat and sniff. "Uh—" "—Uh" You both cut each other off, and stare at each other. "Lord almighty, this is awkward..." They mumble and bring up a hand to scratch the back of their neck. "Should we just.." They pause, getting flustered, "...get this over with?" Their voice cracks at the end of the sentence, and they try not to cry over the mistake. "Uhm." You interrupt their tiny spiral, and they snap their eyes to yours so quickly it makes you flinch slightly. "I guess? Like...maybe a kiss on the cheek, or head, or something?" Your voice sounds as awkward as the situation is, but Mal nods either way. "Do..you want to do it? Or..." You nod once more and take a step forward, leaning in to give them the quickest peck on the cheek ever. You both pull away from each other as the door opens, and both refuse to answer any questions about why you're both frazzled.

Kris is mortified. Mouth agape, eyes wide, blood pressure high as hell, brain fogged. They take the quickest glance towards you and try not to throw up. Both of your friends drag you up and push you into one of the closets. "Hey!" Kris yells out before they shut and lock the door. They stay staring at the door, trying to ignore you completely as their heartbeat continues to rapidly increase. "Kris." "YEAH?" They jolt and turn around, only to have your face right in front of theirs. They let out a curse and back up, hitting the door. "JEEZ LOUISE, DUDE. TOO CLOSE."You sigh and rub the back of your neck, "Listen, I don't want to be here either, but the bottle landed on us." They turn their head slightly to the side to stare at you. They then hum and lean forward to kiss your forehead. "There. Done. We don't need to talk about it. WAIT—I did that without first consenting to you! Fuck. Okay. I'm so sorry, that wasn't—" You cut them off by placing a hand on their mouth, "Thank you for apologizing, but yes, next time just ask." Your friends finally open the door, and Kris falls backwards. You help them up, pat their arm, and walk off. "WAIT, WHAT DO YOU MEAN NEXT TIME?"
