Non-sharing with Akaashi and Cove -- anyone else is oki! :'> so sorry and thank you!!
No need to interact with anything. I'm often calmer / less embarrassed(?) about 0 notes than a few LOL
Slow and often never replier. It's not you it's Me. And thus no need to interact!! I'm happy just witnessing you instead!! < sorry if i take 1 william years to reblog
She shifts her focus from the wall to her boyfriend turning side to side in his chair. "To?"
Keiji spins to face his love fully. His eyes flicker around the room—from her resting to his manga on the shelf with her bookmark inside, then to the floor where their shoes sit next to each other. He pretends he's thinking, as if the answer isn't obvious as he traces and draws her in everything he does. "Both."
She knew it was coming, yet her lips still wobble as she looks away—a poor woman's attempt to jail a smile. "Shut up."
"You asked."
"I hate you."
"Did you want me to say neither?"
"Yes. I hate you."
"Aw, baby." The wheels on his chair are quiet as they roll across oak—specially ordered by her after he complained about the noise. Keiji slides into position at the table she's borrowed. Resting the papers he was editing on his lap, he tucks her fallen hair behind her ear. "Lying isn't good for you, you know. Hurts the soul."
"Maybe yours. You don't know my soul."
"I don't know your soul? It's bonded to mine. Mine took her out for lunch yesterday." He bends to rest his head against her shoulder. Chin against the wood and grinning lips to her ear, he murmurs, "And then they kissed a lot when we—"
"Keiji!" She turns with a gasp. Hands move to cover his face. "Shut up, shut up, shut up, oh my god."
The dark-haired editor laughs as he traps her fingers between his. "Huh? What? What did I say?"
"You are a sick freak and pervert, Akaashi."
"My last name? I'm wounded. Baby, the sick freak pervert is wounded and bleeding, won't you please help him?"
His girlfriend snorts and weakly tries to pull away with a whine, and Keiji notes the joke to use again later. "Stop being funny, oh my god. Go back to work. Get away from me."
Her boyfriend giggles and she wishes he would stop that as her heart clenches at the sound. The two come to a stop, hands still intertwined as they smile and pout at the other.
Despite it all, she doesn't move away as he leans in. She meets him half-way as he plants a soft kiss against her lips. He responds quietly, "'kay. I'll be done in 20, I think."
"Okay. Take your time, baby."
She's met with a hum and second kiss, and there's no hiding the little sparkles in her eyes as she looks up afterward. "Love you."
🐚 + 🍙 r both slowburn first and only love situations
🐚 - childhood friends to lovers, every stage of life together, there was never a chance for it to be someone else
we have little crushes on each other from the start so there's no "oh" or "uh oh" moment years in
we figure that out in the RV moment.. (13 y.o.) my heart is racing as we flirt a little. he sleeps next to me and i think i might throw up /pos /nervous /giddy
obvious to everyone what's going on. we don't get together until we're ~16/17 and the reactions (besides congratulations) are often "finally" or "you weren't already dating??"
^ i asked if i could be his girlfriend. years later he asks to marry me
🍙 - uni, late bloomers, after everyone around us has been in relationships or even just held hands romantically, disbelief and nerves
i have a little hope but i resign myself to just being friends. i try to focus on the joy of that because i think there's no way he could like me #myselfsabotage
we only see each other in class for most of the semester. there's a group project we do together but our group doesn't have to meet up outside class until near the end of the sem
i invite him to my birthday party in dec. we start to hang out outside of class next sem (no classes together)
we don't get together until the next fall LOL. i think he's the one who asks me. it's a she fell first he fell harder
keiji's tendency to massage your legs/feet any time you rest them on his lap
keiji's urge to be the one to wash and dry and lotion (and shave) you and zip you up and clasp your jewelry and tie/do your shoes and tuck your hair behind your ears so your earrings are visible etc etc etc. 'keiji' can be replaced by caleb also. not that i care
me and my (dead) big brothers I will save you all by giving you a reason to live and the care you rarely receive and you will dote on me and be a little/lottle possessive ok.? #yes
something nice about me bringing my fan i got at a convention everywhere and fanning myself and my f/o. them gently taking it from me for a turn when i get tired. pulling each other closer "so it's easier" which is technically true but also. you know. silly
all my f/os r very quietly thoughtful and attentive when it comes to u/me. if they notice me practicing good habits or doing something new or trying really hard to be optimistic or brave they don't always Point It Out, but they notice and often say/so something that helps reinforce it as Good
there's a httyd inspired/fantasy au within me with dragon rider!nia and merman!cove :> both are fascinated by the other's world though rider!nia has more fear of the deep sea than cove does of the sky
rider!nia can at least swim a little unlike Me. but her friends notice she's more willing to go into the water than she used to be, and also seems to have gotten better at swimming/holding her breath
cove brings her dragon fish as a gift ! (dunno what kind of dragon i'd have LOL) he goes searching for more uncommon fish to see what kind it likes best
he lets rider!nia touch his tail and she compares it to her dragon's scales. the day her dragon lets him touch it is an exciting one for him!
I wish to have an opportunity where he can transform and have legs so she can bring him flying but i haven't thought about how that might be yet. i also want an opportunity for them to talk about tidal dragons!!! nia has limited experience with them so if there's a way she can go underwater safely to see some that'd be neat...!! #special
they do little races! she flies and he swims. later in their friendship/relationship she says if cove wins she'll give him a little kiss,,, cove has never swam faster in his life, and maybeee nia and her dragon get stuck at a section that's usually effortless :'> or their turns are a little slower and wider than usual idk!
the air shifts when nia appears at their usual meeting spot late and upset. she still doesn't know the depth of cove's powers and what he'd do if he found out someone hurt her . sorry the #yanlover in me has to come out here. mermaid courtship and mating for life etc
he brings her different shells and wants her to pick out her favourites so he can remember for the future. he continues to bring sea glass and shells he think she'll like! she turns some of it into jewelry and cove's 's very excited and bashful the next time they meet and she's wearing it!! she does not realize she's taken some serious steps in mermaid courtship (it's very meaningful to her!! but you know.)
cove offering some of his own scales as The Courtship Step. nia panics and worries because she doesn't want to just use her dragon's scales—she wants something from Her. i haven't decided what she makes yet but she spends a lot of time on a gift i promise habdjsdbsn
sea-related decor. not just for him but for me i've gained a stronger fondness for fish and seashells over the years.. been thinking of a sardine bath mat...
^ the table is so cute for shells.. wouldn't be the main living room table bc it's quite small. but somewhere
we'd have 2 or 3 wind chimes—glass one inside, something out of wood or shells for outside. i'm a big fan
decor with white linen poppies for him, tulips and lilies for me :^D
we'd live near-ish to the coast and he keeps his board(s) on a hallway wall
we'd put a lot of energy toward making a cozy living room with blankets and games etc. heart of the home for us and friends :>
In the moment, Keiji becomes calmer and more open.. there's a relief in knowing the person beside you understands and knows you and chooses you because of it. he feels free and welcome to be himself, whichever side of him that is!!
In the long-term, he becomes more confident, finding a steady trust and understanding of who he is and his place in (my) life
He becomes more acquainted with vulnerability, and doesn't completely shut down by himself when he's anxious or overwhelmed
He gets used to and seeks physical affection. He didn't think he was a physical touch guy but I've got that #healingtouch if you will
Not unique to me but he gets a little 'meaner'!! When Keiji isn't just a very polite guy you know he's comfortable with someone
In the moment, I am/try to be a little braver with his presence as reassurance. I try and say things that I'd be embarrassed about with anyone else, or that I think I'd never be able to say
In the long-term, I become more thoughtful because I want to reciprocate Keiji's affection and gifts that seem to See Me to a shocking degree. this obviously and luckily pours over to my other relationships yay
I get a little smarter and more capable outside of academic settings LMAOOO There's many times where I love trusting that he can and will love to take control/charge and I don't have to be anxious, but he also motivates me to better myself!! I think there's equally as many times we appear as two capable, cooperative, and communicative people that handle things Together
i make a comment about how i find my eyes boring and my f/o looks at me like i just set the mona lisa on fire. "what do you mean your big brown bunny boba eyes that sparkle at me are boring. Take that back." kind of thing
cove being cuddly and having his hands on you whenever possible if you're comfortable.. and i'm a girl who's always comfortable with cuddly touchy cove.. T___T EEUUEEEUUEU
if keiji gets jealous he becomes touchier and decreases his politeness just enough to be noticeable . pouty and huffy when you're alone. like kissing the crook of your neck with his arms around your waist then huffing when you gently tease/coo at him. Ok
