Thank you again to @wonbons for beta reading! Your feedback has been a huge help and I'm incredibly grateful.
Fic is under the cut
Shotaro was more nervous than usual for his first statistics test of the year. He had a good enough grasp on the material, but there were a few things he was shaky on. He did spend a lot of time studying, but he just didn’t understand certain concepts. He knew that he had to focus today though because he couldn’t let his grades suffer. If he did, he would never hear the end of it from his dad.
You, on the other hand, were filled with confidence. You refused to let anything get in the way of passing. Studying was your entire life for a week before the quiz. You didn’t talk to anyone for the first few days, which resulted in several angry voicemails from Karina because she hadn’t heard from you. You apologized for ignoring her and made sure to talk to people while still studying as much as you could. Your degree was far too important to you to fail.
As you were making your way to class, you saw Wonbin. He smiled and winked at you, and you gave him a small smile in response. He continued walking as you silently prayed that you wouldn’t fail.
You walked into class and smiled as you saw Shotaro. He was wearing his bright purple beanie, which you had learned meant that he had overslept and hadn’t had time to brush his hair. Initially he looked upset, but as soon as he noticed you his expression changed to that signature smile that made you feel all giddy inside. You took your seat next to him and started to discuss the upcoming quiz.
“How do you think you’re gonna do?” he asked.
“I know I’m gonna pass,” you replied, “I was up until 3 AM studying last night.”
“I wish I had your confidence, (Y/N).”
“I’m sure you’ll do great, ‘Taro. You’re smarter than you give yourself credit for. Plus, I know how much you’ve been studying.”
“Thanks, (Y/N),” he mumbled, with a barely noticeable blush starting to appear on his face.
Your conversation was cut short by Ms. Kim passing out your tests. You once again silently prayed to whoever would listen that you would pass and began to work as soon as you received your test. As you answered the questions, you couldn’t help but wonder how Shotaro was doing. He had looked upset when you walked into class, but you hadn’t been able to ask him why before the test started. You made a mental note to ask him about it after class.
The second the test was placed on his desk, Shotaro started answering questions to the best of his ability. He wasn’t confident in all his answers, but that didn’t stop him from giving everything he had. Once he finished answering the questions and handed in his exam, he spent the rest of the class period doodling in his notebook. The drawings of animals and flowers may have looked like something silly to pass the time to someone that saw them in passing, but for Shotaro art was his escape. And with stress from school and his dad’s daily lectures about not wasting his potential, he needed it.
After everyone finished their tests, class was dismissed. You tried to follow Shotaro to ask him why he seemed upset earlier, but he ran out the door before you could catch up to him. So, you sent him a text instead, letting him know that if he needed to talk about anything you were there for him.
The rest of your morning classes were a blur, with papers being assigned and more tests being taken. You had been rushing to get things done all morning, so you decided to go to the library to take a break in a quiet environment before you had to continue your studies.
The last person you expected to see as you entered was Wonbin. You knew that it was rude to assume from the limited interactions you had with him, but he didn’t really seem like the type to spend free time at the library.
“Hey, Wonbin. How are you?”
“I’m doing ok, I just wanted a quiet place to study. What’s up with you?”
“I wanted to take a breath before my next class, tests all morning.”
“Yikes. By the way, next time you see Karina would you give this back to her? She left it at my place last night,” he said as he handed you her makeup bag.
“Will do, thanks.”
The two of you chatted for a few more minutes before you left to continue your day.
The next day at the end of class, Ms. Kim gave everyone their tests back. You looked at yours, and you saw that your score was 93. Excited that you passed, you showed Shotaro. He seemed a little bit less excited, however, as he wordlessly showed his paper. It had 86 written at the top in bright red ink. Even though he was a little upset, he jokingly promised to kick your ass when it was time for the next test. You laughed and said you wished that he would.
“Well I guess I have to, now,” he said with a wink.
Thanks for reading!! Sorry about the lack of update last week, Preparing for Easter was a bit chaotic. I promise chapter 3 will be out next week. Stay tuned!
If you'd like to be added to the taglist, either comment or dm me with the username that you'd like tagged. Once again, thanks to @wonbons for beta reading!
reminder: this is for fun and astrology is smth I study for a hobby, these are all inferences based off of observations and not exact fact unless I knew him myself !!
Scorpio Sun: The stereotype that scorpios suns are secretive is so played out they're just technically shy imo im sorry LMFAOOO. Once a scorpio fully trusts you or has something they genuinely want to tell you they just keep GOING. And the same probably applies to him especially since his Mercury is in Sag. In the beginning he might seem hard to crack or not one to spare many details but once he's sure of you and you two are officially together and solidified oh he's a plain open book. Ofc he's not gonna pour every aspect of his heart out but being secretive really won't be an issue. He has an aspect of sun and uranus so he won't really act in ways that aren't true to him, his freedom, or expression so he'd practice authenticity even within the relationship so you better be in it for the real him !!
Libra Moon: Similar to Wonbin he'd be pretty considerate and would weigh pros and cons before doing anything to ensure fairness. His chart makes up of placements centered around truth, fairness and morals so ngl being equal+in balance is something he'd want for the relationship. Sometimes there's a tendency for Libra moons to end up complacent or non argumentative to keep the peace but I think it wouldn't be as severe considering his sag placements. Rather than being complacent he'd be pretty passive, he'd be willing to engage in trivial debates and significant convos but wouldn't break his neck to prove his point or show that he's right unless it was absolutely necessary. His moon is sextile his venus so emotional balance is crucial so he'd avoid constant disturbances in the relationship so you two remain in harmony; downside he might become TOO passive and too invested in harmony to where needed conflicts are dismissed or he doesn't express himself fully.
Sagittarius Mercury: So...blunt LMFAOO. Honestly Sohee probably says crazy stuff or is more sassy behind closed doors he has sm mercury aspects even some with pluto and mars. He might be conflicted sometimes, has moments of being super blunt and even saying stuff without thinking and then his libra moon brings him back into peaceful mode and he's like "uuuhm my bad". Probably likes fake arguing or small debates. Makes fun of you most definitely but compared to Eunseok it'd be easy for him to apologize if he realized it was too far or hurt you. Instead of yelling he might talk pretty fast and "word vomit" whenever he's dealing with big emotions or anger (especially with his mercury square mars) and due to this he might go quiet during arguments (if they ever even happen) because he knows when dealing with his outbursts he could say the wrong thing or be hurtful when not meaning to. Likes to be playful and even a bit nonserious and childish in convos and tries to make things lighthearted.
Sagittarius Venus: Sigh omg a bestfriend and boyfriend in one quite LITERALLY. Sag Venus has a hard time settling down because they value their freedom and life path so much and they don't really get into -serious- relationships unless they're genuinely enamored with you and can see you fitting into their expanding life. So once he's with you and realizes he's actually in love with you and it's beyond just flirting and pining he's essentially all in. Freedom will be evident in the relationship and there may not be a super specific power dynamic laid out outside of the cheesy "look at how my gf takes care of me.”. He wouldn't abandon his career for the relationship but wouldn't completely abandon the relationship as a whole either but just know there'd be an attempt to split both. He'd be loving and wouldn't be too restricting, flirts via jokes quite literally he would end up being the funniest man you know especially with that sag mercury on top. He values optimism and change and would implement that into the relationship as well.
Pisces Mars: His Sag Venus paired with his mars could show that he'd be ok with someone being the initiator or taking the lead but would still be ok with wanting your attention and doing things to get it (not in a toxic way ofc) . Like he'd want to impress you with unconventionally/casual romantic things or "best friend dates" that soon lead to more. Aw man he's probably a friends to lovers trope type of man like anton :((. Tbh him having a Sag Venus + Pisces Mars such a chill relationship like I said earlier it'd be just like dating your friend.
Who in riize do u think would like a partner who’s slightly older/younger than them, like a year or two age difference? N then who do you think would prefer someone who’s older and has more life experience? (Basically kinda in a who would want to be taken care of by their partner vs them being the one to take care of their partner type of way)
hmmmmm this may be a bit controversial I fear
RIIZE OLDER VS YOUNGER based on astrology~
reminder this is based off of MY opinions of their birth chart placements + aspects and is not exact fact unless I knew them myself and I am not a professional astrologer 🤍
Older
Seunghan
a lot of people think Seunghan would have a younger s.o but ngl..he'd probably like someone more older or at least a person that has more experience/more mature. I say this because the things he'd want the most I feel like he'd expect or more easily get from someone older. He wants someone that would be independent + confident in their place in the relationship, has experience in life in general (including partying/vices), and ngl he might want more tasteful luxury gifts so lowkey sugarmama/older gf vibes 😭.
Anton
I don't think he cares about age at all bc his chart doesn't indicate physical attributes minus the stereotypical feminine things (bouncy healthy hair, sweet perfumes, pretty nails) but I feel like he'd be best suited with someone older yk..like that would be best for him. Reason being, personality wise he wants someone mature, ambitious, independent, doesn't need to be babied/taken care of 24/7, can guide him, financial stable which is something you expect from a more mature/older person right ?
Middle Ground
alright ikik all my babygirls are wondering wtf Sungchan and Eunseok are doing here instead of the younger category but..walk with me....🤫
Sungchan
50/50 bc I feel like he can get what he wants from either age group. He has a cancer moon + leo venus so he may like reciprocity and for him and his s.o nurture or be attentive with each other OR he's ok with taking care of a younger/immature s.o & would be fine with being taken care of by a older/mature s.o. He likes someone to be educated, lowkey a little wiser and put together BUT he likes to wear the pants and be the lead/doting counterpart of the relationship. I just think he can get what he likes from either group and he probs is into cap risings.
Eunseok
Eunseok..probably just doesn't care LMFAO. As long as you're tall, hot, confident and charming he's all in. IM KIDDING OFC . but he can adapt to either relationship trope. He likes someone with a mature seductiveness thats independent and gives good concrete wise advice..BUT he also likes someone thats goofy and surprises him and has a teasing "hard to get" aura to them. So imo he'd go after either one as long as they were compatible with him.
Younger
(crazy I know)
Sohee
Sohee is typically the one being doted on and seen as the "cute" one and I just think he'd want to explore outside of that trope through his partner (sag venus tings). Plus I'm ngl Sohee's big 6 placements and his sun/uranus + mercury/mars aspects makes me feel like he'd feel kinda slowed down or restricted with an older/overly mature/serious partner. This is about to be contradictory ik but I feel like it’d be easier if said older partner had a more immature “cute” image
Wonbin
Wonbin probably likes...cliche dynamincs ngl..his taurus mars makes him feel more driven to the traditional/stereotypical dynamics yk so he's the masc and provides like the typical "oppa" type shit ykwim. Plus his Pisces Venus probably makes him idealize that type of stereotypical trope more. I also feel like an older partner would make him feel a more serious sense of responsibility and scare the shit out of him 😭😭.
Shotaro
Shotaro has a capricorn venus and I said in one post his ideal type could go either way and transition between being more playful+immature or sophisticated+mature I feel like he currently likes immature/younger partners (see how he dotes on Sohee/Anton the youngest members) but in the future would prefer someone more mature because that's just what I typically see in cap venus men,,they start with one ideal type and the older they get they switch to the other.
Thank you so much to @wonbons for beta reading! Your feedback was incredibly helpful.
Fic is under the cut.
It was the first day of a new year, and you were filled with excitement. A new year meant you were one step closer to your degree. It meant you were one step closer to meeting your goals. It meant that you were making something of yourself just like you promised your parents you would.
As you walked into your statistics class, you made one more promise to yourself that you would be the best student you could be. It was a promise you made every year, but it never lost its weight. Every year you did everything to the absolute best of your ability. If your grades were anything to go by, it always paid off. You were certain this year would be no different.
As your professor, Ms. Kim, finished taking attendance, someone that looked like he had just rolled out of bed ran through the door.
“You’re late, Mr.- “
“Osaki. Shotaro Osaki.”
“It’s nice to meet you, Mr. Osaki. Now, please take a seat. And don’t make a habit of being late. It could cost you in this class.”
“I understand, and I apologize. It won’t happen again.”
He took a seat next to you, and you noticed that he was wearing a bright purple beanie that made his soft brown eyes and messy blonde hair pop. He asked you for your name.
“Uh, (Y/N). (Y/N) (L/N).”
“Shotaro Osaki,” he replied as he reached his hand out for you to shake. You took it and smiled. He smiled back, and you caught yourself smiling just a little bit bigger as a result. You turned to face your instructor and silently hoped the two of you would be friends.
The period began with a pre-test to determine what the class already knew. While some of your knowledge was a little bit shaky, you still remembered a lot of what you’d learned last year. Once you handed your test in, you noticed that Shotaro had already finished his.
After what felt like forever, Ms. Kim made an announcement. “All of you showed that you know a lot about the topics that we’ll be expanding on this year. I have no doubt that all of you will do well in my class.”
She handed back the pre-tests, and you and Shotaro compared scores. As you overheard other students discussing their scores, the two of you realized you had tied for the highest grades in the class. You smiled at him as you realized that despite seeming a bit scattered, he was clearly very intelligent. It also didn’t hurt that he was kind of cute.
Once your morning classes were done, you made your way to the cafeteria. You immediately spotted your best friend, Karina, and made your way toward where she sat. As the two of you ate, you discussed how your classes were going so far. Mostly, she talked about a cute guy in her music theory class. Seconds later, as if by magic, a guy with long, admittedly beautiful hair walked up behind her.
“Are you talking about me behind my back, beautiful?”
“Only good things,” Karina replied with a laugh. “Wonbin, this is (Y/N). (Y/N), this is Wonbin.”
“It’s nice to meet you,” Wonbin said. “I should have known that Karina’s best friend would be just as gorgeous as she is.”
“It’s nice to meet you too,” you replied with a small smile.
Karina invited Wonbin to sit with you, which you had no problem with. What you didn’t expect was for Shotaro to show up a few minutes later. This time, however, the purple beanie was gone, and his hair was much less messy. You had to admit that he looked good. He smiled when he saw you, and once again you felt the blush creep up your cheeks.
Wonbin took the liberty of continuing the conversation with another introduction.
“’Taro, this is Karina and her friend (Y/N). Girls, this is my best friend Shotaro.”
“(Y/N) and I have met, but it’s great to meet you, Karina.”
Karina smiled and said hello, and you gave a small wave. Shotaro took a seat next to Wonbin, and the four of you chatted until you needed to leave for your next class. As you walked away from the table, you turned back to look at Shotaro again. He waved and smiled, and you hoped again that you could get closer to him as the year went on.
Shotaro walked to his next class with Wonbin and asked him what he thought about you and Karina.”
“Well (Y/N) seems a little bit shy, but that could just be because we just met."
“Wait, did you already know Karina?"
“We met this morning in music theory. She’s incredibly passionate about music, and it shows whenever Mr. Choi picks her to answer a question.”
“You like her, don’t you?”
“I don’t know if I would say that yet, but I would really like to get to know her better. What about (Y/N)? How do the two of you know each other?”
“We’re in the same statistics class. We sat next to each other, and it was obvious immediately that she knew what she was doing. She’s absolutely stunning too.
“Just admit that you like her, dude.”
Shotaro responded by punching Wonbin in the arm and leaving for his next class. He knew it was too soon to say for sure if he liked you, but he also knew that you were beautiful and that he really wanted to be closer to you. Suddenly, he was very happy that he took his dad’s advice and chose to major in economics.
Thank you so much for reading! If you'd like to be added to the taglist for this fic, either comment on this post or send me a dm with the username that you'd like tagged. Like and reblog if you enjoyed, and stay tuned! My current plan is to update once a week.
Also feel free to send in requests for more stories!
Definitely Eunseok would walk you home at night and not let you go out alone
Would love to let you hug him when you’re traveling together and lean on him if there are no seats in the bus while he’s holding on something to keep you steady
Would give you his jacket type of guy when it’s cold
Bring you breakfast in bed
eunseok is such a gentleman and he does it all while saying "you deserve the whole world, it is truly my pleasure to do these things for you" like?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?! he would not let your hands lay on those simple stuffs, let alone the hard ones.
he's just so act of service + words of affirmation guy
shotaro is def the type to like to be taught like “you like it like this” “ok baby igy”
IM. ALL. EARS. he probably likes to explore and try out things too in the sake of learning what you like and what you don't like TO FIGURE OUT your personality in bed. he will always be aware and take a mental note even when you moan just a little different (in case if u hide that u like it)
shy bf!wonbin who starts getting more confident and brazen when he realizes you’d literally do anything he asks
i’m talking head in the movie theater, telling you to show him ur tits in the middle of a mall, bending you over the kitchen counter when the members are home, he fucking loves pushing the boundaries of how much you’ll do to make him happy :((( i’m feral
OH??? ANON??? but yes! he gave me a lot of joker energy? if u watch the movie su1c1de squad, you probably know that scene where joker asked harley to jump into the acid???? i personally think that is so wonbin coded except he's kinda shy, so yes i agree with you
hii can i request riize with a size kink? tysm my love <3
hii! thank u for requesting! <3
WARNING: mdni 18+
the first man that comes to mind is unbelievably anton, like i could hear him giggling right now as we speak... mannn that giant would find everything about you "cute and adorable" like fight me on this one. he definitely LOVES it when you're under him and looking so small waiting for his cock to go in??????? the confident boost for him????
next is, of course, jung sungchan. nahhh you can't tell me he doesn't love it when you say he's big and huge, TALL. he loves it. i see him especially loves it when you wrap your little hands around his cock 🥰🥰🥰
another honorable mention is seunghan! surprise! i think he loves to degrade you in bed, so calling you small etc really boost his ego up! especially when you also love it [giggles] i'm sorry i have a thing for mean dom seunghan
the one who would not think he has it but he does is definitely eunseok... like at first he thought it sounds silly or something but when he realized you're really that tiny compared to him before he slid his cock in, oh boy, he's going to do it rougher than the usual because he really likes it.
heyy can you write riize hcs with an s/o who's sensitive to cold? tysm!
ANONNN THANK YOU FOR REQUESTING!! LET'S GO
☆ riize with a s/o who is sensitive to cold!
shotaro
HE WOULD BE CONSTANTLY ASKING!!!
"is the weather okay for you?"
"do you need a jacket?"
and he would be constantly checking your hand to know if you're feeling cold or not:((((
"your hands are cold, why don't you tell me that you're freezing?"
and then give you his jacket and try to warm you as best as he could
he's just so:((((
the rest are under the cut!
eunseok
bro always know when you're cold
don't try to refuse his jacket if he puts it on you
he would be so pissed off if you do that
"stop being difficult, i'm not going to argue over this"
his dominance.... grrrr...
if you ask him "what about you? i have my own jacket already"
he would be like "i don't care, i'm not cold" even if it's FREEZING
sungchan
WELL....
he would be like eunseok but if you refuse, he will just stare at you until you agree with him
"sungchan, but i'm okay"
....
"sungchan, i bring my own jacket"
...
"fine..."
"that's my good girl" while smiling softly as the pic above 😊😊😊
wonbin
wonbin is always craving for physical contact
so, like eunseok, he would know if you're feeling cold
he would immediately put your hands together and wrap it in his and then like blow it to warm them/?
he would put your hand in his pocket too
he's gonna scold you if you don't verbally say you're feeling cold though
"why aren't you telling me you're feeling cold? i'm your boyfriend and in relationship, communication is important. and-"
so you better tell him if you don't want him to scold u!!!!
seunghan
another bf who will just know when you're feeling cold
will just casually put his jacket around you and hug you closer
would be so cuddly tbh
he's actually worried
"are you sure the temperature is okay?"
"tell me if you feel cold, okay?"
he's just sooooo?????
soft bf coded
sohee
he's like wonbin, he will scold you if he finds out by himself that you're freezing
leaning to the concerned and worried type tho
he would make you hot chocolate or warm tea
he would hug you! he loves hugs!
well with the scolding but he's so funny when he's scolding you
it's like he's doing parenting
"if you're feeling anything especially COLD, you should tell me immediately. i don't want you to catch hypothermia or something please tell me every time"
"i will hug you until tomorrow, no buts"
anton
oh man he wouldn't let you feel cold AT ALL
he will always bring jacket
he will always bring blanket
anything to keep you warm
he would be the type to make you drink warm tea or hot chocolate when it's getting cold BEFORE you're freezing
since it’s no nut november, how long is everyone lasting?? i see sungchan and maybe wonbin (his competitive ass) sincerely trying. shotaro doesn’t gaf the second you tell him you’re horny he’s like “bet lets go”
ANON SORRY THIS TOOK SO DAMN LONG, I FORGOT TO POST ITTRTR ANDDD YEAHHH I CAN SEE THAT
the strongest soldier would be seunghan, anton, and eunseok. but once December steps in, they would devour you. they'll open December with the best sex ever (the buildup for a month...)
next is shotaro, like he won't lose but if you show A SINGLE TINY BIT signal???? he would lose it and like "fuck it"🥰🥰
next in line is sohee‼️ I think he will last 1 week MAX. it's gonna be like 1 week and he's begging you all the time "babeeee come on i give up icant do this anymore" and that's not because he's horny all the time, it's just you always look beautiful and tempting in his eyes😭😭😭 man is so in love
NOW OUR LOSERS🥰🥰 say hi to wonbin and sungchan😍😍 i will say they will last MAX 4-5days like i swear those beasts.... they would just lime "fuck this stupid challenge" and then proceed to rail u... what can i say tho???? they're just silly like that
i’m just curious are you working on the anton pov for the game. i just need to know, like was it serious for him? did he actually like her. was he playing with her at first but then he started to fall in love? or was it all just… part of the game?
