SBG AND HSR?????? ATE THAT CROSS OVER FR
Aventurine x reader (School bus graveyard au) Basically Aventurine is Aiden while reader is Ashlyn except they're the only ones in the Phantom World. {Tw: sorta? spoilers for Ep 60-61 for SBG, Gorey descriptions, injuries, rubble and nightmares}
You were searching through the cabinets and drawers for the keys to the supply whilst Aventurine stood on guard duty in case of any Phantoms that might attack you whilst searching the room. "Aventurine I hear one." You warn your boyfriend as for some reason only you could hear the strange noises these Phantoms were making. "Yeah can hear it's footsteps they really ought to be more sneaky! If they're planning to attack from the back." Aventurine says as stabs the Phantom straight in the eyes with his pocket knife. "I can still hear those Phantom noises check if there's any more of them." You say. Aventurine peered down the hallway to not find a single Phantom in sight. "That's odd I swear I can sti-" However before you could finish your sentence suddenly the building started to shake. You look up to see the ceiling was going to collapse, "AVENTURINE GET UNDER SOMETHING!" however it was too late as while you managed to get under a table Aventurine wasn't so lucky. Displayed in front of you was Aventurine covered in rubble but you still managed to pull his body out of it.
You cradled his bloodied face in your arms, there was a clear wound at the side of his face. However as you looked down only to find Aventurine with his eyes protruding out of his sockets and red veins bulging from their place. His haggard gaze fixated upon your figure, it looked almost as if he forgot to blink. With a cheshire like grin displaying all his whites with blood splotches near his mouth from his wounds. He looked more like those Phantoms rather than your beloved.
Immediately you awoke, you weren't sure how or why it was possible considering the fact the Phantom world was a 7 hour cycle that occurred at midnight and you would be asleep in the human world. The first thing you did was check on Aventurine who was beside you, his breathing was unsteady and rather heavy. "D-dont need hospital. S-stay here with m-me." Aventurines voice sounded distorted almost like those Phantom noises however you wrapped your arms around him as he laid against you. Aventurine coughed a little before he looked up at you, looking like your beloved instead of the nightmarish image you saw in the Phantom World. "Hey look at me. I'm alright in this world, look no bleeding whatsoever. After all I never take gambles that I don't win." Aventurine says however he is met with a tight and firm hug from you. Shit Aventurine never realized that you were sobbing up until now. Aventurine wrapped his arms around your sobbing and trembling figure, he hated seeing how much you were shaking even though the adrenaline from the Phantom World felt good every once in a while it wouldn't pay off if he had to see you shake every time.
It took a while but Aventurine managed to calm you down and usually it was difficult to get sleep after the Phantom World ordeal so you were downstairs in the kitchen preparing some food as late night supper for the two of you. Aventurine laid on the bed as he thought about what went down. Aventurine couldn't stop thinking about what he had felt or even saw in the moment he was in your arms after you had gotten him out from under the rubble. The fear in your eyes as you were staring at him, he wasn't sure if it was because of his injuries or something else but he knew what had occurred today was too much for you to handle. He should be more careful with his gambles after all he now had someone important to hold him everyday and every time after he had awoken from the horrors of the Phantom World that the both of you had experienced together you were there for him. Maybe just this once he could be selfish as Kakavasha not as Aventurine. "Venturine! Foods ready." You say as Aventurine made his way downstairs however something caught his eye. His own reflection in the mirror was off. That wasn't him, that was the him who you had held in your arms in the Phantom World.
Ty for reading! As you can tell the School Bus Graveyard brainrot got to me thus I wrote this and also because I won my 3rd 50/50 in a row and got Aventurine!!! Now I will gamble for his lightcone if I can. Aventurines lightcone please come home. Also good luck on your Aventurine pulls if you're pulling for him!!

โ SYNOPSIS โ
the eels don't just come in twos- they come in threes, and growing up with them has never been too easy. unlike the twins, with one who just straight-up acts like a rabid dog and the other seemingly kind-hearted but will be the one hunting you in your dreams, or rather nightmares, you can somewhat describe yourself as somehow the normal one. the one who maintains the balance between two extremes- in your eyes at least.
this has always been your biggest insecurity throughout the years- you weren't the best, but you also weren't the worst. you never acted up, but you also can't call yourself kind. you've never excelled much in academics, extracurriculars, or anything at all even in your magic. you've never had any high hopes and dreams for your future.
so why in seven's green earth were you transferred to night raven college- in heartslabyul too!? did the gods above send you here specifically to make your life miserable? you really hope that's not the case. to make matters worse, somehow the housewarden of the dorm you're not even sure why you're in has a totally unwarranted prejudice towards you. not to assume things or anything...but it's kind of like that. no, scratch that, it's definitely like that!
with just the slightest move and "it's off with your head!" whatever rule there is he's sure you broke and will break it, and it hasn't even been a month. how will you survive this boring, mundane life turned into a mess? facing problems of your own and even bigger problems with your dormleader- seriously though what is his deal!?

notes: this was supposed to be lengthier and in smau format but i suck at that so here it is in fic format :โ) i know i know, i write sae way too much </3
summary: you have a crush on sae. for a long time now. and heโs always known that. he just wants to see how long you can hold out.
HIGH SCHOOL: 2ND YEAR
itoshi sae knows you like him.
youโre really obvious itโs pathetic, really. once during recess, heโd wanted to go back to the classroom to get some shut eye because soccer was way too draining lately, and guess who he saw slipping a little love note into his locker?
of course you. you and your little pink heart-shaped post-it that read i think youโre cute and i really really like you. because it was valentines and you were one of the many to send him little scribbles of confessions.
even now, when you sit just a couple of rows in front of him, he catches you looking behind at him, and sae purposely doesnโt look at you, doesnโt let you know he knows youโre staring. heโs not really sure why. maybe he feels bad if he exposes you or something.
throughout the rest of your sophomore year in high school, he continues to observe as you so subtly (not really) try to be friends with him. you always try to get picked to be in the same group as him for projects (which never works out), you try to sit next to him in lecture halls (but his friends cockblock you always), and during phys ed classes you try so hard with soccer but youโre really quite bad at it.
maybe itโs sae not being able to continue observing your failures that he throws you a bone.
โyou need to bend your knees a little more.โ
frozen stiff from the unexpected company, you awkwardly try to bend your knees further, all while staring at the ground. if sae was nice, heโd laugh and joke around with you, asking why you seemed so scared of him. but heโs not, so he only sighs and stands beside you while you try.
after a few more seconds, sae understands you donโt really understand so he moves to push down on your thigh, and by then you really freeze up, falling flat on your ass in front of him.
sae wants to laugh now, really, because itโs amusing how nervous you are. for no good reason too.
the next time sae talks to you, itโs during lunch time when he queues up behind you. on purpose. he doesnโt even usually eat from this stall, but seeing you there makes him want to mess with you a little. he purposely stands a little too close, makes himself prone to an accidental bump.
which does happen. because youโre just like that.
โoh, sorโโ you stop midway as if realising itโs sae immediately dissolves you of any obliged apologies. โsorry,โ you force out before whipping your attention back in front. the both of you donโt talk in that moment and sae canโt help but feel a little disappointed.
but sae continues to help you during phys ed classes, and you still try to get assigned to be his group mate. nothing groundbreaking happens during sophomore year of high school because nothing is born out of it.
nothing, except maybe a tiny bit of saeโs inexplicable emotions for you.
HIGH SCHOOL: SENIOR YEAR
sae thinks maybe you went to a shrine over the holidays. how else would he explain you finally getting partnered with him on a project? and to top it off, itโs a two-person team for the entire year.
you get him all to yourself.
the moment the teacher calls your name after his, itโs like sae can practically see your tail wagging. you manage to compose yourself when you catch him staring at you though.
itโs a little cute, if heโs being honest.
โso, what do you think our project should be about?โ your voice wavers a little when you speak to him. is he that intimidating?
sae wonders what if he tries to be a dick during this project. would you be obedient or would you actually bite back?
he tries to find out.
sae shrugs and acts disinterested, staring out the window of the second floor of the library where youโd both agreed to meet to work on it together. โdonโt know, donโt care, think you could handle it for us? iโve got too many soccer trainings, too tired.โ
for a split second, youโre taken abackโhe sees you sitting upright a little more, blinking twice at him because surely thatโs not what you imagined your crush to behave like. not when he has straight As and is almost the top of your cohort.
and for a while, sae thinks you might actually be the former; obediently listening to him, making sure heโs happy. but then you furrow your brows and clench your fists and go โitoshi sae, who do you think you areโ and oh, oh, youโre not the former, youโre the latter and youโd actually kill him if he was a dick. fuck.
somehow his hands instinctively come up in surrender and his mouth opens, โi was just kidding.โ
itโs almost comical how your expression softens up immediately and you laugh, and sae keeps staring at you because you actually have a really nice smile. he never really noticed it before. and when the two of you actually get started on the project, sae finds himself observing you more than actually contributing.
yeah, youโre really quite pretty.
โany plans for the summer?โ
itโs now almost july and summer break is around the corner, and to be honest saeโs kind of bummed about it. itโs beyond him why not seeing you would make him disappointed, but heโs not going to try and pursue the reason. he has his training camps to worry about.
โsoccer. you?โ
โmmm, a short trip with my parents.โ
usually sae would leave it at that, but he asks about you, and he sees that tail wagging again. โwhere?โ
โjust gonna go to hokkaido,โ you tell him. and you look like youโre anticipating him to ask more, but saeโs stuck. he doesnโt really know what to ask. heโs not exactly curious as to what youโd be doing there.
so you take matters into your own hand when you swiftly grab his phone from the table, key in your number and call yourself from his phone before putting it right back. sae watches you the whole time, wondering when exactly youโd gotten this bold.
โthere, now you canโt escape me even over summer break.โ
and he doesnโt. because you text him about your trip when youโre there, you send him pictures of the scenery and of the food youโre eating and youโre really inconsiderate because you send him that shit when heโs stuck in soccer bootcamp with twenty-four sweaty guys whoโs none the better than him.
sae can end it by all means, just by not responding to you, but for the first time, talking to someone isnโt really a pain, and he thinks youโre kind of funny and the stickers you send are kind of cute so heโll let this continue. even if by continue he means sending mediocre, lacklustre responses that just barely manages to keep the conversation going.
(in saeโs mind at eighteen, sending replies like okay and i see are considered acceptable and subjectively considered effort.)
when summer break finally ends and itโs early september, sae finally sees you again while he walks to school. he walks a little faster just to catch up to you before he adjusts his pace, acts like itโs coincidence that heโs right beside you.
and somehow heโs made it a routine; to memorise what bus you get off of and catch you on the way to school. even if he sees you in classes and even after classes in the library.
youโre acting a little less like heโs on a podium and more like normal friends and he kind of likes that. he likes being able to see you unfiltered when you gossip, likes seeing you laugh at stupid lame jokes, likes the way you hang close to him whenever youโre beside him.
okay maybe like is a little stretching it, he doesnโt mind being able to tolerate it. or maybe heโs just in denial, whatever.
winter comes and itโs somehow the time when more girls try to talk to him, mainly because somehow the school decides to hold a winter event this year; itโs going to be held near the edge of the city, where the biggest skating rink is.
by his guess, most girls are looking for a guy to have a skating date with.
in the library during your usual meetup for the school project, sae gets more than a couple visitors trying to get him for that same reason. you eye everyone that approaches the table, and sae canโt help but notice how he actually likes when youโre pouty. maybe itโs his twisted thinking that jealousy means youโre still into him.
โitoshi-kun, i was thinking whether you wanted to go to the winter event together?โ another girl from your class, mizuno, asks him, and sae is tired of it, frankly. but he doesnโt show it. he only looks at you, and you look back at him because he doesnโt usually stare for this long.
then, he looks at mizuno and rejects her.
โsorry, canโt, iโm going with y/n.โ
(you get home that day being completely flustered and completely happy.)
on the day of the event, sae keeps his word. he goes with you, sticks beside you the entire time. his friends snap pictures of the two of you and you always look so embarrassed. maybe youโre just not used to all of this attention. but thatโs fine, itโs cute.
one thing he learns about you is that you can be real clumsy sometimes. like now, when you get so excited over your watermelon slushie that you somehow spill it all over your jacket and clothes.
sae ends up giving you his puffy winter jacket while he braves the cold with whatever he has left. thatโs fine, heโs strong. besides, getting to watch you wear his jacket the entire time feels like a bonus somehow.
he thinks by now you should confess already, but you donโt. youโre happy to stay in this bubble with him right now, whichever phase the two of you are at. so is he. it feels kind of nice.
feels especially nice when you hang onto him for dear life in the skating rink even though neither of you are moving. saeโs aware that people are staring holes into both of you but itโs strange how much he doesnโt mind when itโs with you. thatโs why he holds his hands out, lets you take them, makes himself pull you along. he finds himself wishing neither of you were wearing gloves so he could feel how soft your hands are.
by the end of the day, everyone takes it that the both of you are together, even though the both of you are too avoidant to talk about it.
โhey, sae? thanks for today,โ you say later that night when everything is done and youโd had the giddiest experience with sae. heโs walking you home and he doesnโt even know why; itโs a mystery to him why he keeps himself close whenever he can.
โitโs fine, i was the one who told people i was going with you, so.โ
when he gets you to your front porch, you donโt go in immediately, standing right there with your back facing him, and sae wonders whatโs going through your head. if only he could see the expression on your face right now, maybe heโd know.
you let him; because you turn around, giving him a big smile before you take a step forward and press a chaste kiss on his cheek, immediately turning on your heel and running into your house.
neither of you say bye, both of you are just a little too stunned to speak. sae stands out there in the cold for a little while longer, his face and ears redโheโs not even sure whether itโs from the weather or from youโbut even when he starts to leave, youโre still slumped at your front door, covering your face in embarrassment, knees too weak to stand up.
thereโs only one more quarter left until you graduate and sae and you both act like nothing happened that day. you still gossip unfiltered and he still listens but acts like he doesnโt.
except now instead of sitting across from you, he opts to sit directly beside you. sometimes sits a little too close just so your arms will brush against each other. sae also lets you keep his puffy jacket because you said you liked it.
you wear it throughout winter.
when graduation comes around and itโs time for sae to choose his university, he canโt help but take a peek at your screen. a smile comes to his face when he sees your first choice is the same as his. youโre smart too, he doesnโt doubt youโll get in.
โitoshi sae, you can smile?โ
sae immediately turns it into a frown. โguess not.โ
you take your words back. โhey, iโm just kidding! itโs just rareโฆ thatโs all.โ
so you notice him a lot then?
sure, you might not have seen him smile a lot. but thatโs fine. from what sae knows, you have the entirety of your university years to possibly catch it.
UNIVERSITY: FRESHMAN YEAR
of course you enter the same university as itoshi sae. itโs not on purpose, but youโre glad you both made it here anyway.
at least knowing one friendly face is better than none.
to be honest, youโre not really sure where you and sae stand. heโs never said anything about that kiss, but he also doesnโt stay away from you. can you take that as a positive thing?
if anything, heโs even closer.
somehow, his dorms and yours are practically next door. when you open your bathroom window, you can look right into his. it happened once, by accident, and youโd caught him, shirtless with just a white towel hanging around his neck, hair damp as he brushes his teeth, the droplets of water on his abs looking very inviting.
but then he caught you staring and youโve shut your bathroom window ever since. thankfully, he never mentions it.
being in university and staying in campus meant that you were both hanging out much more informally. and youโd think that two people at the age of nineteen whoโd known each other for three years would be less awkward than this but itโs you and sae and somehow thereโs always an element of awkwardness.
itโs halfway into your freshman year and youโd just watched the first match that saeโs playing for the university team. youโre a little starstruck, honestly. to think that the guy youโve always had a crush on is this good at soccer.
heโs amazing. youโre feeling like a potato sack.
โhey, you know him right?โ hime gushes.
your friends are with you, so itโs natural they ask.
mira on your left sighs, โguess we have no shot with him since heโs with y/n all the time,โ she says, nudging you in the elbow.
youโre starting to regret bringing them here with all the teasing. youโre also regretting coming here yourself because you see several girls running to him asking for a picture together. some of which you recognise, some of which are the popular girls.
sae doesnโt stop them from snapping what they can, but he also doesnโt stop for them at all. instead, he saunters over to you, hime and mira wordlessly disappearing to the side.
โgimme that,โ sae says, gesturing to the phone in your hand. you obey, of course, and he smirks, then he snaps a selfie with you before tossing your phone back and walking off.
the pairs of eyes on you make you half-embarrassed yet half-proud. even with this many fangirls, sae chooses to come to you.
that night sae asks you to send him the picture.
yeah, maybe you can take that as a positive thing.
freshman year after that is generally uneventful. you and sae are both trying to find your footing, with him preoccupied mostly with soccer trainings while youโre drowning in assignments and projects that have nothing to do with him.
but you still see him in the mornings sometimes, when you walk past your common room and heโs in his, and you wave at him when heโs alone so youโre not so shy, and he nods in acknowledgement before he just walks away.
one night while youโre burning the midnight oil trying to cram some accounting knowledge into your brain, you get a text from sae.
wanna get supper?
both of you end up at one of the supper spots outside of school, a little cosy shop that sells boba and ramen even after midnight.
โwhyโd you wanna get supper?โ
sae shrugs, taking a sip of his plain water. โjust bored, couldnโt sleep.โ
โisnโt this soccer season? you canโt even eat anything in here, itโs definitely not passable for your diet.โ
he sighs, leaning back against his chair. โso? quit whining and start eating your shit already.โ
if it was some other guy youโd be rolling your eyes and storming off. but itโs sae and you know him and he thinks heโs talking normally like this. besides, when you catch his eyes flicker up to lock with yours you get a little dizzy inside.
โwhatโre you up so late for anyway?โ
saeโs fingers are drumming lightly against the surface of the metal table, teal eyes diligently observing as you bring the strands of noodle to your lips. โtold you, i couldnโt sleep.โ
you find that strange; heโs always been able to sleep, no problem. and heโs strict about his eight hour sleep schedule. what could be getting to the great itoshi sae?
(saeโs lying through his teeth; having his bedroom right across from yours means he can see when your lights arenโt out. sue him for being a little concerned.)
โso, heard you and the team are going on a soccer trip somewhere in europe,โ you bring up. youโd heard it from your friends, strangely, instead of sae himself.
he nods. โyeah, just a select few,โ he tells you, โonly if we win the tournament though, then the teamโll officially invite us over.โ
so-called team you heard about is real madrid, and youโd be crazy to think that sae couldnโt help your university team win on his own.
โguess i wonโt be seeing you around when you go,โ you mumble idly, not completely aware of what youโre basically saying.
sae is adept at reading in between the lines, but he doesnโt probe you on it. heโs not sure he wants to. he doesnโt know what this is. do you still like him? does he like you too? all these feelings are new; sae doesnโt know what to do with it.
so he keeps it to himself. for now.
he doesnโt really do a good job at following through with it though, because on the day of the tournament finals, he looks at you and winks right as he orchestrates that winning goal for his team, and youโre left wondering if youโre imagining things.
UNIVERSITY: SOPHOMORE YEAR
the final part of your freshman year went and gone, and it didnโt go exactly how you imagined it to be. you didnโt expect to hear from sae at all when he went on his trip after that tournament.
but you did.
he replied you whenever he had the time. told you anything you asked for. even called you when you had a mini meltdown because of finals.
to be frank, you donโt know what the both of you are anymore. youโre cursing yourself for being too scared to ask.
โhey y/n, have you seen hime anywhere?โ
itโs oliver asking, captain of the universityโs soccer team and also himeโs current situationship. heโd started hitting her up since that first time sae played and brought attention to you and the people around you.
โyeah, sheโs by the pool with mira.โ
oliver leaves as soon as you tell him, and you stand awkwardly at the corner of the living room, by the full panel of glass windows, wondering if you should just go home. youโd only came because hime and mira both said you needed to experience a party at least once this year but now youโre surrounded by people making out and drunkards slipping into the pool that it makes you regret giving this a shot at all.
especially since saeโs not going to be back till tomorrow, garnering as much interest as he did during his time in spain. you really have no reason to be here.
โhey there, pretty.โ
startled, you find a familiar face up close in your personal space, his finger twirling your hair. youโd recognise that head of blonde and pink anywhere.
โoh, youโre ryusei shido right? youโre on the soccer team with sae,โ you think out loud, and he nods, and you can see his blonde lashes so closely itโs making you flustered.
โmhm, fwhatโs a pretty girl like you doing all alone in a corner? seems like a shame,โ he comments, though he doesnโt even give you a chance to answer. the next thing you know, shido drags you into a drinking game with hime and mira (which is why your first instinct wasnโt to run off, if you could trust anyone itโs your best friends). although, shido is getting annoyingly close and you canโt decide if youโre nervous or annoyed.
and the heavens surely love you when they let shido draw the card that corresponds to a dare, and they love testing your boundaries when some guy called otoya dares him to kiss you.
but no, you know that the heavens really do love you when someone yanks shidoโs hair back and pulls him away from your face, taking his spot in between the both of you in the bid for proximity that you donโt mind because itโs itoshi sae.
โsae, whatโre you doing here? i thought you wouldnโt be back till tomorrow,โ you ask, a little shell-shocked but you still notice heโs discerning frown and how thereโs barely any space between the two of you.
he looks at you, tilting his head, โwhat? my girlโs not happy to see me here?โ
you donโt respond. half because you think youโre dreaming and fuckโreally, did he just call you his girl?
โeh? i donโt recall you having a girlfriend?โ shido leers, a hand on the spot of his head where sae had pulled on earlier.
โyeah, besides, shido still has to do the dare.โ otoya sounds bored more than anything, but the guy beside him, karasu, if you remember correctly, is smirking.
sae sighs, and you feel like you mustโve crossed the boundary to another dimension when you feel saeโs lips on yours, and you think youโre in limbo when you feel his hand on your neck, pulling you close. his tongue pries your lips apart and people are whistling while shidoโs behind him saying get a fucking room or iโll beat off to this.
when the object of your affection finally pulls away, youโre met with the same pair of unbothered teal eyes, the pair that immediately turns to face otoya. โthere, did it for him. now move on.โ
youโre beginning to thank alcohol for its existence when almost everyone obeys wordlessly, moving on to some other guyโs turn. you really canโt remember who sits on shidoโs right when all you can think of is that itoshi sae, your longtime high school crush, actually kissed you.
thatโs enough to warrant the question, right? the question of what sae takes you for?
the inner debate sparks long into the night, even when sae walks you back to your apartment, the both of you side by side in silence.
โsae, what was that?โ
he plays coy. โwhat was what?โ
youโre only a little tipsy, so you can still tolerate his avoidance. โyou confuse me a lot, you know that?โ
sae doesnโt take the bait. โoh, i see.โ
โyou were jealous.โ he was. he really was. you can tell; he was sour to shido the entire night. he stuck close to you too, sometimes your fingers brushed against each otherโs.
โso what if i was?โ
this one is new. saeโs actually admitting it. and usually youโd chicken out but you can see your apartment coming into view and you donโt want to let this go.
โwhat am i to you, sae?โ you manage to choke it out a few feet away from the door, and sae stops in his tracks, hands in his pocket and teal eyes looking heavenward.
youโre beginning to regret your decision to ask; youโre not sure if his indecision is a good or bad thing. nothing seems to be simple when it comes to itoshi sae.
but he does nothing to appease your confusion when he steps in front of you, his body pressed flush against yours as he presses another kiss to your lips, and you think this one is special because itโs not done in the name of a dare or in front of anyone else. this kiss is for you and you alone and sae is doing this on purpose.
when he pulls back, you see him furrow his brows and you can tell that maybe heโs just as confused as you are.
โwhen i managed to get an earlier slot for my flight, all i could think about was how excited i was to see you.โ
is thisโฆ a confession? youโre even more confused now that you donโt even know what to say.
to be honest, so is sae, which is why he swallows the lump in his throat and relegates to his apartment, โgoodnight.โ
things after that change just a little.
youโd decided to go with the flow, just because you really donโt want to sabotage whatever friendship you and sae had left, although most of the time, sae is the one toeing the line. even though he doesnโt outright tell you anything regarding his feelings.
but you think you figured him out.
sae asks you out whenever youโre both free, and not for shit like studying or errands, but for movies and dinner and he drives you around in his car and looks at you like youโre the only girl he sees. his eyes donโt wander when heโs with you, and he lets you wear even more of his jackets. itโs also evolved to his jerseys and his beloved windbreakers. you have one of each in your own closet and he never seems to ask for them back anymore. he also lets you wear his rings, puts them on your fingers randomly.
both of you still go for parties, especially when itโs one of the soccer guys who are throwing it, because they practically force sae to go and they know youโre the key to convincing him.
most of the time the two of you just laze on the couch, drinking and talking about nothing at all, and he idly plays with your fingers when heโs tipsy, something you never tell him because you like it, because you donโt want him to feel self-conscious and stop. he also smells your hair after he sends you home and hugs you before he retreats to his place, and you wonder if heโs fully sober when he does that.
you resign to getting your answer some other time, because you donโt want anything to ruin this, if this is just an illusion. yeah, youโd talking feelings some other time.
UNIVERSITY: JUNIOR YEAR
you really had no right to be, but you are. try as you might, you canโt stop yourself from feeling the way you do. especially not when sheโs sitting so so close to him, when her hand brushes his fingers.
sheโs just his project partner, nothing more, but something irks you about the way she can get so close to him so quickly when it took you much longer. but then you hear from shido that kaori is rin and saeโs childhood friend, so maybe thatโs why theyโre so damn close.
apparently, sheโd gotten back to japan after ten years abroad. with great timing too, right when you thought you and sae could amount to something.
โyou know, i could help you make him jealous if you wanna,โ shido whispers in your ear one time when he catches you staring at them. โweโll make him feel how you feel, mโkay?โ
and while thatโs tempting, you shake your head. itโs unreasonable for you to take it out on him that way, not when he hasnโt actually done anything that proves heโs just leading you on.
lately saeโs been so busy around kaori that youโre just thinking too much. youโre wondering if heโs slowly replacing you. he still talks to you over text, but you barely hang out like you did before. you still spot him through the windows, but heโs always too tired to notice you. even his texts are getting slower.
โhey, you okay?โ
trust it to hime to notice your personal dilemma. youโre not really surprised though, because sheโs been watching you moping for the last few weeks. she now has oliver wrapped fully around her finger, with him sticking around her all the time, which is a surprise considering his reputation.
but hime will take your side, you know this, and maybe thatโs why you play it off. you donโt want her to hate sae because of a momentary feeling, so you tell her youโre just sick and youโll go back home.
the moment you get back to your apartment, you see sae waiting out on the front, car ready while he leans against the hood, waiting.
and you mightโve asked if he was waiting for kaori, but then he looks up and sees you and smirks and thatโs all you need to know that heโs not. he was waiting for you, and now heโs opening the passenger side door and telling you to โget in, stupid.โ
thatโs how sae is with you, impromptu and surprisingly sweet. he drives you to the pier, a cute spot right next to an amusement park where heโd gotten you some candy floss before the both of you just sits on the hood of his car, enjoying the scenery.
โwhyโd you suddenly bring me here?โ
sae lies down, the sun hitting his face in all the right places. heโs gorgeous, you realise for what seems like the thousandth time since youโd known him.
โoliver told me youโd been a little mopey lately,โ sae says, and youโre already embarrassed. โsorry if iโve been busy lately.โ
you mirror his position, lying down next to him, and it feels oddly nice like this. youโre not sure if itโs the situation or the person.
โitโs okay, i heard that kaoriโs your old friend right? you guys must have a lot to catch up on.โ it doesnโt stop you from feeling jealous, but itโll pass. you hope.
sae chuckles before he turns to you, and you turn to face him too, โyouโre jealous.โ he smirks, and youโre reminded of the same thing you told him that first night he kissed you.
โshut up, sae.โ
he laughs because youโre being pouty, and because maybe it feels a little nice to know you can feel it too. just then, he mirrors what you did way back in high school, reaching across you for your phone. except he doesnโt key in anythingโhe opens up your camera and takes a picture of the two of you like this, sae looking naturally handsome and better than you because youโre stunned heโs doing this, eyes wide and expression puzzled.
โwhatโs that for?โ
saeโs still fiddling on your phone as you ask, and then he passes it back to you. heโd set it as your phoneโs wallpaper.
โto remind you that youโre the one i like, idiot.โ
and even though you and sae arenโt physically too close in the wallpaper, you think maybe itโs enough to tide your feelings through for now. he doesnโt ask you for anything else after that, just leaves his confession at that and sends you home before saying he has to finish up his project, aka going to find kaori.
itโs fine by you though, because now you know where saeโs headโs at, even though he never explicitly asked you anything. youโre sure he knows how you feel too, especially since youโd been the one to kiss him first that day a few years back.
but how apt for you to go to sleep early and be woken up by dozens of messages blowing up your phone, the majority of them attaching pictures at a certain party.
still pictures of sae locking lips with kaori, and you feel your heart sinking.
saeโs message comes through just as youโre scrolling through your phone.
meet me at my place? not what it looks like, i promise.
and maybe itโs because you feel like you know sae well enough that youโre not even panicking. you respond within seconds.
sure, see you!
you take the liberty of going next door, entering when one of the other guys who lives there clumsily walks in drunk. itโs easy enough to find saeโs room, you recognise it from across your own room too well. and maybe itโs a slight invasion of privacy but you canโt help but turn your attention to his desk.
his room is all neat with the occasional laundry thrown on the corner of the room, trophies and medals on the bookshelf by the table. but what catches your eye is the little pink heart-shaped post-it note that looks all too familiar.
your handwriting fills the piece of paper.
i think youโre cute and i really really like you
you could cringe right now from how cringe you were being back then. but then you realise, sae kept this? did he keep this knowing it was from you? you hear the door opening downstairs and jump back a little, accidentally pressing on his keyboard while trying to place your note back in its position, and the screensaver that greets you renders you speechless.
itโs the picture sae took of the both of you at the bleachers of his first match.
someone closes the laptop before you can think any more, and youโre greeted with sae right next to you, cheeks flushedโeither from alcohol or embarrassment. you canโt really tell, but judging from the lack of alcohol stench, youโd like to bet itโs the latter.
โyou have me as your wallpaper?โ
sae clicks his tongue, annoyed he didnโt get there in time for you not to see that. โwho else would i put there?โ
you bite your tongue to stop yourself from instinctively saying kaori out of spite. guess youโre still a little groggy from being woken up in the middle of the night.
โabout earlier,โ sae begins, not really sure how to continue.
โyou mean the pics going around of you and kaori kissing?โ youโre not even mad, youโre sure thereโs an explanationโthatโs how much you feel you know itoshi sae. heโs not the type to bother with leading someone on; if anything, heโs probably the type to immediately cut things off if he wasnโt interested and so far, heโs always been thinking of you.
sae sighs, rubbing his temple before taking a seat on his bed. โthat was fucking stupid,โ he grumbles, eyes closed. โshe was way too tipsy and getting all up in my face and before i knew it she justโโ his eyes are open now, briefly looking at you before looking away, hiding behind the sides of his soft locks, โshe kissed me. i was stunned for a little soโฆโ
you snicker a little, because sae looks so different from how he usually looksโaloof, ignorant, arrogant. now he looks like a puppy whoโs been kicked to the side and you canโt help but notice the difference.
โsaeโฆ why are you telling me this?โ
screw his indecisiveness, if it was in the first place. you want his answer now, up straight. and sae seems to know what youโre thinking because he chuckles, relieved because he can read your toneโyouโre not angry, not upset, you trust him somehow and itโs only because despite what you think, you know him better than anyone else.
โfuck off, y/n, you already know,โ and he says this affectionately because you can feel the tenderness in the way he says your name, in the way he invites you into his armsโthe way he pulls you close and lets you sit facing him on his lap. โyou gonna be my girlfriend now or what?โ
your lips are so so close and youโre both holding back so so much. โmmm i donโt know, itoshi sae, what if i wanna see you beg me for it?โ
โgod, i hate you,โ he says, without meaning it. itโs the first time youโre actually feeling how strong he is, because he lifts you up from the back of your thighs and throws you on his bed as he hovers over you, a little squeal leaving your lips at the unexpected gesture. โhm, kinda like that sound you make.โ
heโs saying it so monotonously that youโre embarrassed. โshut up, sae, before i leave.โ
โthatโs cute, you think youโd actually leave me,โ he teases, and you curse yourself for finding that slight condescending tone of his hot. โbut hey, really, be my girlfriend.โ
โyou asking me that after kissing another girl?โ you act shocked, acutely aware of how his fingers are all intertwining with yours, your hands on either side of your head, sae pinning you down. if anyone walked in now, theyโd get the wrong idea of what you two are doing. for sure. but you try to act unbothered, you donโt want to boost his ego even more.
sae leans down to press his forehead against yours, and youโre hoping your heart doesnโt leap out of your chest because heโd definitely feel it. โshit timing, i know. but youโre the only one i want, so.โ
heโs pretty shit at talking emotions, you realise. and then you realise that this only works because youโre equally good at reading his. despite his reluctance to talk emotions, he shows you how special you are, constantly.
many girls want him, but youโre the one he spends most of his time with. youโre the one with his actual clothes in your closet and his rings on your fingers. youโre the one sae kisses and willingly so, the only one whoโs on his wallpaper reminding him of what heโll have each time he comes home.
โi told kaori i liked you and no one else too,โ sae continues explaining, though he really doesnโt need to. you listen anyway. โshe got mad and stormed off but shit, i donโt care. only care about you.โ
and heโs pretty forthcoming with his feelings when he wants to be and thatโs enough for you. you squeeze his fingers lightly and smile at him.
you donโt have to hear any more to know.
โi love you too, itoshi sae.โ
the way he marks you that night lets you in on everything you need to know.
UNIVERSITY: SENIOR YEAR
six years.
itโs been six years since youโd first had a crush on itoshi sae. and now youโre his girlfriend, always in the front row for every match and the object of most of his fangirlsโ hatred. thatโs okay though, none of that matters.
whenever you come back home to your (shared) apartment now, itโs like all your worries melt away into the void, and sae reminds you just how much you mean. even if his pet names are less than swoon-worthy at times.
โyou really need to stop posting shit like this,โ you deadpan, showing sae your phone screen. itโs a picture of you asleep in the morning, drooling on his bare shoulder.
sae blinks, acting coy like he always does. โwhat? itโs cute.โ
โyouโre insufferable, itoshi.โ
sae ignores that, switching the subject. โhey, you have any goals for your twenties?โ
you hum, pondering. โwell, i guess if i could do what i want, iโd travel the world,โ you pause, sitting up on the sofa and looking at him. โwhy?โ
itโs the last year of university, and the both of you are finishing your degrees, with the possibility that sae might be getting a contract with one of the overseas clubs. youโre not really sure; thereโs a few of them whoโve expressed interest, but youโd always let sae think through it on his own.
does his question have something to do with that?
โwas thinking i wanted to take you along if you wanted to come with,โ sae half explains, because heโs bad with details like that. he continues when he spots your confusion, โif you wanted to explore wherever i decided to go.โ
oh, he means he wants to take you along to wherever he decided to go. youโre flattered, honestly.
โyou mean, the itoshi sae wants to bring me wherever he goes, huh?โ sae is already turning red, sensing your big head. โyou offering to be my sugar daddy too?โ
sae sighs. โyouโre so stupid, i swear,โ he complains, his words lacking any bite because heโs rubbing circles onto your arms. โyou said you found some remote jobs right? thought we could make use of that and just go wherever together.โ
after six years, you finally see sae trying to plan a future where the both of you are together. he loves soccer, but he loves you too, and youโre not the kind of person whoโd make him choose, so you appreciate his compromises instead.
โitoshi sae, iโll follow you wherever you go.โ
he presses a hasty kiss on your lips, โgood, โcause i plan on keeping you forever.โ
you grin, pulling him down to you and kissing him even deeper, โiโll hold you to your words, then.โ
sae smiles against your lips. because he knows he got lucky with you, lucky you were there at the right moment, slipping your love letter into his locker. lucky you continued to like him, lucky you knew how to put him in his place whenever. lucky youโre you and you love him.
maybe heโs always liked you, even back in freshman year of high school when he realised how kind you are, how gentle you could be. you looked pretty in the sun that day, when he first saw you trying out soccer in the yard and falling flat on your ass. you didnโt notice him back then but he noticed you, not that you knew. sae didnโt try anything because he was sure itโd fail. but who knew all it took for his mind to change was a simple nudge from you?
heโs pretty sure that youโre his human manifestation of a forever.
โwhen the time comes, just say yes.โ
how the blue lock boyfriends react when you call them "husband".
pairings: itoshi sae, shidou ryusei, isagi yoichi x fem!reader (no descriptions tho, just the words "mrs." and "wifey") (separate) | warnings: established relationship, fluff, kissing, the boys are simps, shidou is a warning itself
notes: hi guys! another one of these scenarios since you guys seemed to like the other one so much <3 thank you for all your love and support! also it's my first time writing for shidou so i hope this isn't absolute garbage.
ITOSHI SAE
one of your and saeโs favorite couple activities was driving around the city. you loved the feeling of madridโs summer breeze kissing your face and messing up your hair, and saeโฆ well, he would never admit that, but sae loved anything that made you happy, even if it meant driving with no clear destination in mind until his feet hurt. so it was no wonder you convinced him to do just that on that afternoon.
after half an hour of wandering around town on a porsche, you decided that some starbucks would do both of you well. your little pleading eyes quickly convinced sae to stop by one, letting you order since the intercom was on your side.
โwelcome to starbucks, what can i get for you today?โ the manโs voice came out of the intercom, the spanish accent still making it a bit difficult for sae to fully comprehend, despite living in madrid for years now.ย
โhi! iโd like a caramel frappuccino and a chocolate muffin, please.โ
โanything else?โ
you turned to him, asking in a whisper, โwhat do you want, baby?โ
โjust an iced matcha tea latte.โ he shrugged. you smiled, and sae had to fight the urge to smile too. it was maddening, really โ how much of an effect you had on him with something as simple as a turn of lips.
he watched as you turned back to the intercom, โand my husband wants an iced matcha tea latte. that would be all, thank you.โ
distracted, sae started to take his foot off the brake to go to the payment booth, but suddenly his body froze. he furrowed his eyebrows, confusion etched on his teal eyes.
wait.ย
fucking wait.ย
sae didnโt register what the guy on the intercom said next, much less what you answered. he didnโt even notice the line of cars behind him and the need to move forward. all that mattered was that one word that fell from your mouth seconds prior.
โwhat did you call me?โ he asked, silently afraid that it was all a trick from his mind fed on his deepest wishes.ย
it was only then you seemed to realize what you said. โo-oh, iโฆ iโm sorry, it justโ it just came outโฆโ you squeaked, bashful. fuck, you were so pretty like that, with your cheeks rosy while averting his gaze.ย
sae smirked, pinching your chin so that you would look at him. he kissed you with a sweetness that wasnโt usually present in his bitter mouth, and you melted at his gentleness.ย
โdonโt apologize,โ he said as he broke the kiss. โi liked that, mrs. itoshi.โ
it seemed like it was finally time for that velvet box on the bottom of his drawer.
SHIDOU RYUSEI
peace. peace was all you wished for โ at least a little bit. five minutes on the phone to schedule an appointment was not asking for much, was it?
apparently, for shidou, it was.
you were well aware your boyfriend was selfish, and that was an universal rule when it came to your attention. considering he spent a lot of time away for games overseas, you couldnโt blame him for wanting some time alone, since you wanted it too.ย
however, you really needed to schedule your doctorโs appointment, and your whiny boyfriend was making this task extremely difficult. every time you started talking to the lady on the other side of the phone, ryusei would butt in with very unnecessary comments that made your eyes roll. you apologized profusely to the woman about a hundred times, and she assured you it was okay. she even said it was sweet.ย
if you werenโt so annoyed, you would have thought it was sweet, too. ryusei was never one to shy away from expressing his love, even if it meant embarrassing you and himself in the process (although he was completely shameless, so it made no difference).
โwill anyone pick you up after your exam, maโm?โ
you could faintly hear what the woman was saying, since shidou was babbling nonsense in your ear as if you werenโt on a phone call. it made you sigh, and you rubbed the bridge of your nose.
โyes, my husband will pick me up.โ
and then, silence.ย
it took you a minute to realize that the outside noise disappeared and ryusei had completely stopped talking. you blinked a couple times, confused, and turned your head to look at your boyfriend sitting on the couch. to your surprise, he was blushing and gaping like a fish, in what seemed to be utter disbelief.
you braced yourself for what was about to come.ย
โHUSBAND?!โ
ah, there it is. his scream pierced through the living room, and you were certain even the other side of the country heard it.ย
โthank you for everything, maโm. i should be going now,โ you told the receptionist. she only giggled and wished you a good day.ย
the second you put your phone down, ryuseiโs arms were around your middle, lifting you up and twirling you around like some cliche romance movie. your prior annoyance melted away in a second, and you could only giggle like a schoolgirl in love.ย
โawww, ya wanna be my wifey?โ he cooed, putting you down without letting you go. his nose touched yours and you blushed with the intensity of his stare.ย
though you wouldnโt back down.ย
โof course i do, ryu.โ you smiled sweetly. your boyfriend stared at you, shocked and bashful for the second time in the span of five minutes, and then groaned when broken from his stupor.ย
what a little devil, he thought.ย
and then he kissed you, intense and dominating like only ryusei knew how to be, prodding his tongue in your mouth when you gasped and savoring every corner of your mouth. it was one of those kisses that swept you off your feet and left you dizzy, and he could tell from the hazy look in your eyes when he finally backed away.
โfuck, i love you so much. you โgon be my wifey, baby, i promise ya.โ
ISAGI YOICHI
you were usually the one to accompany yoichi to parties โ mostly galas thrown by sponsors who wanted to secure a deal with some sports hotshot โ, so, for him, it was a breath of fresh air to be your plus one on the holiday party of the company you worked for.ย
since the company in question was a corporation, it was no wonder the decoration was flawless, with lots of gold and red to represent the christmas that would soon arrive. the soundtrack was mainly composed of classical music, and he smiled watching you enjoying a vivaldi song. it reminded him of the early days of your relationship, where you teached him about your favorite classic musicians such as beethoven, mozart, ludovico einaudi and chopin.
your arms were linked as you wandered around the hall, and, non surprisingly, everyone seemed to want to talk to you. of course they would; you were the sweetest, kindest and smartest soul to walk on this earth. isagi couldnโt be more proud of all the recognition you were getting, because you deserved more than anyone he knew.ย
โare you having fun, baby?โ you suddenly asked. the striker finally noticed he had been staring at you for a while as you drank a glass of champagne. he blushed, but nodded.ย
โhow could i not? iโm with you.โ
a giggle left your lips along with a fond roll of your eyes, and yoichi couldnโt help but think that, if he could listen to a single sound forever, he would choose your laugh in a heartbeat.ย
โyouโre so silly, yoichi,โ you playfully chastised him, but stepped forward to give a kiss to his cheek. he smiled, circling your waist with one arm and pulling so that your bodies were glued.
โwhat can i say, you make me silly, sweetheart.โ
โisnโt that what love is supposed to do?โ a third voice suddenly spoke, slightly startling the both of you and breaking you from your little bubble.ย
you put down your glass on a waiterโs tray, smiling at the man that arrived. โmr. tanaka! what a pleasure it is to see you here.โ
โof course! i wouldnโt miss such a party!โ he exclaimed, laughing a little loud for the etiquette of that kind of gala, but no one seemed to mind.ย
โand who is this?โ he asked, pointing to isagi.ย
โthis is my husband, isagi yoichi. he came today to support me.โ
with such simple words, yoichiโs mind went silent.ย
he could faintly discern the man saying something about being a soccer enthusiast and a bastard munchenโs fan โ mostly from reading his lips, since his ears were buzzing โ, but honestly, he couldnโt care less. isagiโs heart was beating so pathetically fast that if he werenโt an athlete, he was pretty sure he would faint right there.ย
husband. you called him your husband.ย
did that mean you wanted to marry him? heโs been wanting to propose for a while. you have been dating for five years, after all, and yoichi was sure there was no one else in this world heโd rather spend the rest of his life with. did you only say that because you already lived together? or did you actually want a wedding ceremony with all your friends and family, signing the paper that would bound you for good? until death do us part, he remembered. though yoichi would love you even after dyingโ
โdear?โ you called him, worry in your tone. itโs only then he realized he got lost in his thoughts, and both you and mr. tanaka were staring at him.
โoh, sorry. itโs really nice to meet you, sir.โ he shook the manโs hand, engaging in conversation.
while you watched them, you smiled coyly, hoping isagi took the hint.

summary: itoshi rin has never been good at keeping secrets. this fact becomes increasingly clear when you catch him in the middle of his part time nightly activities of saving the world.

prompts: "i'll carry you." + "when were you planning on telling me this?" + "you're not going alone." + "i'm coming with you whether you like it or not." + "i need to know if you're okay."
your childhood friend, itoshi rin, has always been stubborn. in elementary school, he insisted on giving his share of broccoli over to you every recess because he claims it'll finally trigger your growth spurt.
it never came even after eating his portions for a whole year, and you bickered every day because of it.
now, you're both turning 21, and he's still the same stubborn boy he was. the only difference is his height and the skintight spandex that now covers his face and muscular body.
"itoshi rin, put me down!"
your voice is shrill, your fists banging against his chest. he has you in his hold, one hand around your waist as he keeps you both suspended midair with a web in his other. "i swear! i'm going to tell your mother about this."
the rain drips into your eyes, blurring the image you have of him. you can't see his eyes, not with the mask covering them. you wonder how he's able to see from behind the horrid thing. you know he's going to scowl if you ask.
"ma'am." his voice sounds gruff from behind his mask, deeper than what you know it to be.
you roll your eyes, scoffing because the cover-up attempt is nothing but desperate. after all, if anyone would know the sound of his voice, it's you. "please be quiet, you might wake up the whole neighborhood."
"sir," you parrot, your tone drowning in sarcasm. "i think it's best to put me down before i punch your pretty face."
his silence does nothing to sway your glare, it only worsens it.
"ma'am-"
"quit it." the rain pelts against you both, and you eye him in anger and concern. you've seen the news, you know he's been soaked and drenched for the past two hours.
spiderman may be able to take a punch but rin, your best friend who sneezes every second when rainy season comes along, has always had a weak immune system. "i know it's you. let me go."
he sighs from behind his mask, and you perk, ready to finally feel the pavement under you again. you scowl when he wraps his arm around you tighter, shaking his head. "i'll carry you. just stay still."
he doesn't let you answer. the wind roars against your ears as rin swings you both through the busy street. you squeak, hiding your face in his neck as you latch onto him with all your strength.
you're trembling when you reach your fire escape and he doesn't let go, not even when your feet finally touch solid ground.
"hey."
his tone is smooth as he adjusts your position, moving so that the rain hits his back and not you. his hand glides from your waist, up your back, and to the side of your neck. it lingers there, a steady warmth you can rely on. "we're home."
your prolonged silence worries him more than the way you're shaking. rin can only sigh as he lifts you up, carrying you bridal style through the balcony and into your bathroom.
"what do you think you're doing?!" you gasp, floundering around in his arms before stilling. you watch as he treks puddles of water into your apartment and you sigh, deflating at the idea of mopping. "you're an asshole, spidey."
you feel his chuckle as much as you hear it.
your bathtub is big, a moving present from one of your grandparents. it functions as a stool when rin places you on the edge, slotting himself between your parted legs.
"i need to know if you're okay."
his lips curl around the syllables of your name and it sends a heat through you. since when has rin ever said your name so softly? "i need to know if you're hurt."
"i'm fine," you sigh. there are words unsaid between you, tension that threatens to snap like a coil. the ring on your finger is shiny, and you feel looking at it is better than looking at him. "thanks for the lift home."
a gloved hand encases yours. you watch, silently enraptured as rin leads your hand to the edge of his mask. his hand then trails down to wrap around your wrist, letting you do whatever you wish.
he's always been hopeless when it comes to you.
in one swift movement, obsidian hair tumbles down his face, covering the teal of his eyes. the color contrasts with the bright blue and red of his mask. you realize belatedly that his bangs have grown, covering the sight that's been your favorite since fifth grade.
silence stretches a minute into a lifetime, and rin can only watch as you pick and prod at the mask in your hand. his hand lingers on your wrist, gently squeezing before it slides down to your waist.
"how are you even able to see through this thing?"
your attempt of a joke is weak, and even rin knows this. he sighs, running a hand through his hair, before leaning down to press his forehead against yours.
"ask," his whispers, his voice raspy. his eyelashes flutter and you curse whatever god there is because the thought of keeping your relationship with him strained leaves a bitter taste in your mouth.
"when were you planning on telling me this?" your gaze moves from his face and you motion down his body. "were you ever going to?"
"i was," his reply comes, strained. you quirk an eyebrow because as stubborn as he is, rin's never been a good liar. "sometime in the near future."
"did you think i wasn't going to notice?"
you watch with amusement as rin huffs, blowing a breath of air to move his bangs. he shakes his head after, leaning his head down to press a kiss on your collarbone. "no. you know me better than anyone else."
"you're right." you let him pull you up to your feet, let him tangle his hand in your hair and around your waist. god knows you're as hopeless as he is too. "so, going to tell me about your double life?"
the moment rin stiffens, you think it's because of your words. you scramble to take them back only for him to dash out of the bathroom, out of your arms.
"rin!" you shout, watching with wide eyes as he runs to the balcony while quickly pulling on his mask until only his lips are visible. "where the hell are you going?"
your heart stops when an explosion sounds, the familiar red and orange colors filling up the sky, coming from somewhere across town.
"oh no, you don't," you grumble, marching towards the open balcony to take his wrist before he goes flying off. "you're not going alone."
the way he says your name, so soft and pleading, it almost sends you to your knees. he swivels to look at you and his mouth is twisted into a smile. you can't see his eyes and yet, you're sure you don't like whatever look he's giving you.
"you need to let me go," he sighs, lifting your hand to his mouth. he kisses every single knuckle with love, achingly similar to a farewell. for what is desperation if not the pursuit of love?
"i'm coming with you whether you like it or not."
he chuckles at your stubbornness, seeing the version of you from elementary school. he pulls you close, placing a searing kiss on the edge of your lips only to jump out of the balcony.
"itoshi rin!" you move, ready to climb down the emergency stairs only to realize the webbing connecting your hand to a heavy drawer behind you. "you little-"
the sound of his chuckle rings out and you only have a moment to react for when he tugs you into a kiss. it's awkward, confusing because of his position. he's hanging upside down from the rooftop, pushing against your lips with a bruising hold.
"i'll see you tomorrow." his voice comes out soft, airy compared to his natural gruff. he leans back slightly to kiss your forehead, whispering the three words you've been dying to hear for years.
and then he's off to save the world.
