Thank you for your request! fem!reader, tw unwanted advance
When a creep at the bar won't leave you alone, you look for the most intimidating man in the room. You know it might make things worse for you, but his suit jacket screams businessman, maybe lawyer, and while lots of lawyers are scumbags, he's standing with another man and two women, neither of which are under his arm, so you take your chances.
"Hey, I'm talking to you." A cruel hand tightens around your wrist.
"I already told you I have a boyfriend," you say, pulling your hand away from the creeper's reach.
"I already told you I don't believe it," he says.
You rag your hand out of his touch and weave through people, until you're close enough to almost throw the businessman off his feet as you slot yourself under his arm. He stiffens, and his friends all react defensively, but luckily he puts up his hand and nobody tries to tackle you.
The creeper is a couple steps behind you, and he doesn't see the strange reaction your 'boyfriend' has to your hiding in his side, thankfully.
"If you don't leave me alone," you say as bravely as you're able, hand curling with real nervousness into the businessman's shirt, "my boyfriend's gonna ask you outside."
Creeper looks at you, shocked, and then at the businessman with raised eyebrows, as if to say, Is she fucking for real?
The businessman's arm settles properly around your shoulder, his hand braceleting your naked upper arm.
"Did you hear her or not?" he asks, and his voice is so steady, so commanding, he startles not only the creeper but you, too.
"I can repeat it for you, if you'd like," says his dark-haired friend. She's almost as fierce as he is.
Finally, finally, your creeper admits defeat and turns away. You watch him walk all the way to the door, and then you turn around and hang your head.
"Sir," you say, "I am so, so sorry to just barge into you like that."
"Are you hurt?" he asks.
You look up, blinking. "Oh, no, not really. He grabbed me pretty hard, but that's when I came up to you." You smile at him and his friends. "You're the most intimidating person here. No offence."
He rolls his eyes at the wave of his friends' raucous laughter.
"He absolutely is," says a shorter blonde woman, grinning.
You nod your apologies at all of them and turn back to the maybe-not-businessman, who's really quite handsome both smiling and glaring. You decide you like the smiling more.
"Could I buy you a drink?" you ask. "As an apology? Or a thank you."
"No." He holds his arm out like he might steer you away and your heart drops, but he adds, "I'll buy you one. If that's alright."
There's nothing forceful in his offer. The pit fills. Excitement blooms.
"That's alright," you confirm, words coloured by a tell-tale happiness.
He guides you to the bar with a big hand behind your shoulder. Good-natured laughter follows from his table of friends, as well as a short but enthusiastic cheer of, "Go Hotch."
"What's a hotch?" you ask, perplexed.
He laughs, a light, airy thing, at odds with his stern looks. "No idea. My name's Aaron, by the way."
what a great day to remember that we should not colonize mars, the whole concept is anthropocentric, imperialist, unrealistic and just weird, and the idea of establishing the same capitalistic systems that have turned out to be our downfall on another planet instead of solving problems on earth is so incredibly short-sighted and power fantasy driven that it makes me want to eat glass. the exploration of outer space should always be expressively and only for the benefit of all humankind, not to fill the pockets of some billionaires with a god complex. fuck elon musk all my homies hate elon musk
if you had asked me as a child what colour the sky was, i would have confidently said blue and yellow. because i grew up on the baltic coast next to one of the most travelled ship routes of the world, and the unfiltered sulfur pouring out of the exhausts of nearly a hundred cargo ships every day turned into a thick layer of sickly yellow laying over the horizon. especially on sunny summer days, it settled of the sea like the cheap imitation of a sunset, out of place during the bright daylight.
then, from one summer to the next, the yellow slowly but surely faded away. because a new legislation passed - one which heavily penalised airborne ship emissions in the area. and while the silhouettes of ships across the passage never became less frequent, their backdrop was now such a pure blue that its hard to imagine that it was ever different.
i think about this everytime someone tells me that climate legislation doesn't work, everytime a new media story declaring our helplessness in the face of certain environmental doom makes the rounds. don't get me wrong - the situation we are facing in terms of climate change and environmental destruction is certainly terrifying. but everyday, people are working tirelessly to implement law and policy that could change that fact. and because of those people, a newly bright blue sky touches down over the baltic sea. and that has to count for something, i think.
you want me to go on a date? the thing that turned kaneki into a ghoul?
ily: i love you
