The world is ending in stereo.
The air vibrates with chaos. Gunfire rattles in the distance. Concrete screams as another beam gives way, tearing through the floor like paper. The building is splitting apart, each piece falling in its own slow-motion tragedy.
Shards of glass float lazily through the air, catching the light from a fire somewhere below. A car outside explodes, spinning like a pirouetting ballerina thatâs had enough of gravity. Somewhere amid all of this, a forgotten Bluetooth speaker refuses to die. It blares an overly dramatic opera song that fills the collapsing tower like the universe decided to score this disaster for its own amusement.
Youâre running through the corridor, boots slipping over dust and shattered glass. Your lungs burn, every breath a gasp of grit and smoke. You can barely hear yourself think over the chaos. Then, behind you, that familiar voice cuts through the destruction like sunlight slicing through smoke.
âHey, sweetheart! Left looked safer, right?â
You look back, exasperated. âLeft is on fire, Yoichi!â
He grins. âYeah, but the lightingâs romantic!â
Before you can retort, the entire floor shudders beneath your feet. A violent tremor splits the ground between you and him. Metal beams twist. For a single, horrifying heartbeat, you lock eyes. His grin faltering just enough for you to see the panic beneath it.
Then the floor gives way.
The world slows. Gravity vanishes. Everything becomes weightless chaos. Dust, papers, chunks of ceiling, even the smell of gunpowder seem to hang suspended in midair. You see Nagumo above, his coat snapping like a flag, blood streaking his face, and that damn grin still carved into his lips.
He dives after you.
You barely process it before his hand locks around your wrist, pulling you against him mid-fall. The two of you tumble together through the collapsing air, a mess of limbs, debris, and adrenaline. His laughter rings out over the operaâs rising chorus.
âDamn, we really donât do boring dates, huh?â
âThis isnât a date!â you shout back, clutching his coat like it might save you.
âSure feels like one!â he says, utterly unbothered as the entire floor disintegrates beneath.
Sparks shower past like divine confetti. The opera swells â violins screaming, sopranos crying out for mercy and for one surreal heartbeat, the world slows. Dust floats. Fire glows. His eyes meet yours through the blur of motion.
He flashes you a grin thatâs a little too sincere. âYou know...â
âNow isn't the time!â
ââ if we make it out aliveâŚâ He adjusts his grip, his voice steady even as you both spin through open air.
âYoichi, I'm warning you!â
âIâm totally marrying you!â
Your heart stops. âWHAT?!â
Heâs laughing, full-bodied, absurd, that kind of laughter that shouldnât exist when deathâs an inch away. The opera hits its peak. The two of you keep falling. You see a flash of light as another explosion rips through the building below, painting his grin in gold and smoke.
You yell, half terrified, half furious, âYouâre proposing to me while weâre falling to our deaths?!â
âTiming is everything, sweetheart!â he shouts back, gleeful. âAlso, I didnât buy this ring just for it to collect dust!â
âYou brought a ring?!â
âOf course I did!â
Then comes another impact, the building still trembling, fragile to its core. He twists midair, wrapping around you as you both crash through the next floor, through glass, through dust, and through chaos. Papers scatter everywhere, the opera fading into a muffled hum beneath the debris.
You land in a heap of rubble and adrenaline. Your heartbeat drowns out everything else. He groans beneath you, then wheezes out a laugh.
âStill alive,â he says, grinning through the dust. âThatâs a good sign.â
You lift your head. Heâs bruised, bleeding, ridiculous and absolutely radiant. And your injuries are not different from his.
And then, like itâs the most natural thing in the world, he reaches into his coat and pulls out a small, soot-stained velvet box.
âBetter now than never, yeah?â
You blink. âYou really carried that through all this?â
âDidnât wanna lose it before giving it to you.â
âYoichi.â
He grins. âCâmon, say yes before the ceiling decides to join us.â
The opera swells again, faint but insistent; Nessun Dorma bleeding softly through the smoke. You canât help it; laughter bursts out of you. Itâs wild, cracked, and full of disbelief. You shake your head, smiling despite the tears threatening your eyes.
âYouâre insane.â
âYeah,â he says softly, brushing dust from your hair, âbut you love me.â
You let out a sigh. The world still humming around you. âYeah... I do.â
He grins. âThere you go. See? It's quite easy.â
âEasy for you to say.â
He chuckles again, brushing a thumb against your cheek, smudging away dust. His hand slides to the back of your head, pulling you close until your forehead rests against his chest.
âGuess that means weâre even,â he murmurs.
You roll your eyes, but your smile is soft, unguarded.
Then, because he canât resist even now, he adds quietly, âIf I die before the ceremony, you still owe me a honeymoon.â
You muffled through his coat, âIf you die before I do, Iâm haunting you. Fair warning.â
He laughs. Loud. Free. The sound fills the ruined room like sunlight breaking through smoke.
And when he finally leans down to kiss the top of your head, the opera hits its final crescendo and Nessun Dorma soaring like the world itself is clapping for the two idiots who fell in love somewhere between chaos and comedy.
The building groans one last time, dust raining around you both, but neither of you move. For the first time all day, the world feels almost still.
He exhales against your hair. âYou know, this might actually top our first date.â
You snort softly. âThat was a shootout in a flower shop.â
âExactly. Romantic.â
Somewhere far above, the ceiling cracks, dust rains down, and you both lie there in the ruins â ridiculous, invincible, and in love. The opera fades into silence, leaving only the sound of your laughter, and the faint, impossible hope that somehow, love could survive even this.

he's been living in my head rent-free, so i decided to write something about him. âď¸
a/n: was inspired by the iconic proposal scene in Stepmom (1998).
The rain had been falling for hours.
Soft and steady, it drummed against the windowpane, a rhythmic lull that had slowly pulled you into a drowsy state. The night outside was blurred, city lights flickering like tiny embers in the distance, casting a golden glow against the misty air. You were warm beneath the covers, body melting into the familiar scent of Iwaizumiâs shirt that you had stolen for the night.
But even through your haze of sleep, you could feel itâthe weight in the air, the quiet presence beside you.
Iwaizumi was sitting at the edge of the bed, elbows resting on his thighs, fingers running through his short, rain-dampened hair. He had come back late from work, and you had been too exhausted to wait up for him, but nowânow something about the way he was sitting there, silent and still, made you stir.
âHajime?â your voice came out soft, still laced with sleep.
He didnât answer immediately. Just inhaled deeply, as if trying to steady himself, before turning his head slightly toward you.
âDid I wake you?â
You shook your head, pushing yourself up on one elbow to get a better look at him. His face was half-hidden in the dim glow of the bedside lamp, but you could see itâthe quiet storm in his eyes, the tension in his jaw. Something was weighing on him.
Without thinking, you reached out, fingers brushing against his back. âHey,â you murmured, voice now more alert. âWhatâs wrong?â
For a moment, he didnât say anything. Just sat there, letting the rain fill the silence between you. Then, with a quiet exhale, he turned slightly, slipping his hand into his pocket.
And when he pulled it outâ
You blinked.
A thread.
A simple, unremarkable piece of red thread, loosely coiled between his fingers.
Confused, you looked up at him, but his gaze was fixed on the thread itself, as if it carried the weight of something he wasnât sure how to say.
âWhen I was a kid,â he began, voice unusually soft, âmy grandma used to tell me this story. About how soulmates are tied together by an invisible red thread.â
You remained silent, watching as he unraveled the thread with careful fingers.
âShe said no matter how far apart they were, no matter what happened, theyâd always find their way back to each other.â His lips twitched, almost like he was amused at himself. âI used to think that was just a dumb fairytale.â
You let out a small breath of laughter, but something about his tone kept you quiet.
He finally looked up, his eyes meeting yours in the dim light.
âBut then I met you.â
Your breath caught.
His fingers found yours, rough and warm, his touch familiar yet oddly reverent as he took your left hand. Slowly, carefully, he looped the thread around your ring finger, tying it into a simple knot.
âI donât know if fate exists,â he admitted, voice steady, âbut what I do know is that every time Iâve had to make a choice in my lifeâsomehow, some wayâit always leads me back to you.â
Your chest tightened.
The thread sat snug around your finger, delicate yet firm, its presence barely noticeableâand yet, with the way Iwaizumi was looking at you, it felt like the most significant thing in the world.
Then, with one small tugâ
Something slid down the thread.
A ring.
Gliding effortlessly, it followed the path of the thread, slipping down until it landed perfectly against the base of your finger.
You didnât move. Couldnât.
Your pulse thundered in your ears as you stared at itâthe simple, silver band resting against your skin like it had always belonged there.
And when you finally looked up at him, he was already watching you.
âI donât need fate to tell me that itâs you,â he murmured, voice rough with emotion. âI just know.â
The weight of his words crashed over you all at once, overwhelming in the most breathtaking way. He wasnât just asking you to marry him.
He wanting to be a part of you, bound by love.
To be the one heâd come home to after long days.
The one heâd turn to, always.
The one heâd chooseâover and over again.
His fingers tightened slightly around yours, as if grounding himself. âSo?â His lips twitched into a nervous, almost boyish smirk. âAre you gonna leave me hanging, or what?â
A laugh bubbled up from your chest, a breathless, overwhelmed laugh, because gosh, Hajime.
You threw yourself into his arms.
His breath hitched in surprise before his arms wrapped around you instinctively, strong and secure, like heâd been holding you his whole life. You buried your face in the crook of his neck, heart hammering against his.
âYes,â you whispered against his skin. âYes, you idiot.â
A chuckle rumbled through his chest, deep and warm, as if your words had been a weight lifted off his shoulders. He pulled back just enough to gently place a soft kiss on your forehead, the kind that carried all the love he couldnât say aloud. His lips lingered for a moment, as if imprinting his affection onto your skin.
Outside, the rain continued to fall.
But insideâInside, in the warmth of his arms, in the way your fingers fit perfectly within hisâ
You had never felt more at home.
I hope no one has done this before. If there are, feel free to reach out to me so I can take it down!!^^

The lake stretched before you, endless and shimmering, a mirror reflecting the skyâs tender blues and whites. The afternoon sun bathed everything in gold, casting gentle shadows of the lotus trees swaying nearby. You were perched on the grassy banks, hands idly skimming the cool surface of the water, while Yingxing lay sprawled beside you, the edges of his robes damp from your earlier antics.
âYouâve been staring at me for five minutes,â he said, not bothering to turn his head. âCareful, or I might start thinking youâre captivated.â
You scoffed. âItâs not my fault youâre too lazy to move. Iâm debating whether I should push you into the lake.â
He finally glanced over, his azure eyes narrowing in mock challenge. âYou wouldnât dare.â
And you did.
The splash startled a flock of cranes nearby, their wings flapping as they disappeared into the endless sky. Yingxing surfaced a moment later, hair plastered to his face as he wiped water from his eyes. His glare was fierce but short-lived, melting into a crooked grin. âIâll make you regret that.â
You were already laughing, taking a step back as he lunged toward you, his wet hands catching your wrist. âYingxing!â you shrieked as he dragged you into the water with him, your laughter echoing across the lake.
The two of you wrestled in the shallows, your attempts to splash him thwarted by his quick reflexes. Finally, he caught both your wrists, his grip firm but gentle as he stilled your movements.
âYou know,â he said, his voice softer now, âthereâs no one else Iâd let throw me into a lake.â
You raised an eyebrow. âOh, what an honor.â
âIâm serious,â he continued, and for once, there was no teasing in his tone. âYou make the world... quieter. Even when youâre loud.â
You blinked, caught off guard by his sudden sincerity. The sunlight danced on his features, and for a moment, you swore the lake envied him.
âYouâre terrible at this whole âbeing sweetâ thing,â you said, but the warmth in your voice betrayed you.
âMaybe,â he admitted, a small smile tugging at his lips. âBut only for you.â
The two of you collapsed onto the bank after that, soaking wet but breathless with laughter. He leaned over, brushing a damp strand of hair from your face. âIf thereâs a way to freeze time, Iâd do it now,â he murmured.
âIâd keep us here, just like this.â
Somehow, the weight of his blade was heavier than the memories.
The cool metal kissed your throat, unmoving and absolute. His faceâso familiar yet now so distantâbetrayed nothing, his crimson eyes dull and lifeless.
You lying down, surrender, your weapon forgotten at your side. There was no point in fighting anymore. You knew it, and somehow, you felt he did too.
âGo on,â you said, your voice quiet but steady. âYouâve already taken everything else. Whatâs one more life to add to the pile?â
For a moment, his expression flickeredâbarely, like a shadow passing over the moon. Was it hesitation? Recognition? Or just your own desperate hope clawing at the edges of reality?
âWhy donât you finish it, Yingxing?â you whispered, and the name fell from your lips like a prayer.
His grip faltered.
The silence between you was deafening. You stared into his eyes, searching for any trace of the man who once chased you across sunlit fields, who once swore heâd freeze time just to keep you by his side.
It wasnât there.
Or maybe it was. Just for a moment, fleeting as the last rays of sunlight on a dying day, you thought you saw itâthe glint of a memory neither of you could bear to let go of.
âYouâve always been stubborn,â you said, a soft smile curling your lips. âEven now, you canât decide whether to hate me or miss me.â
His jaw clenched, his hand trembling slightly as the blade pressed closer. You felt the sting, sharp and cold, but you didnât flinch.
Instead, you closed your eyes, letting the memories wash over you. The laughter, the sunlight, the way he had looked at you as if you were his entire world.
âIâll remember for both of us,â you murmured, your voice fading as the warmth drained from your body. âIâll carry it all.â
You opened your eyes one last time, meeting his gaze. The tears there were silent, unacknowledged, but undeniable.
âYingxing,â you said softly, your smile bittersweet. âYou were always the sun. I was just lucky enough to orbit you.â
And as the darkness claimed you, you swore you saw it againâthat flicker of a memory, brighter than the blade, softer than the past, lingering in the once azure depths of his eyes.
sleep schedules are all over the place, but iâll deal with it later.
The training grounds were painted in gold and amethyst, the last rays of sunlight stretching long shadows across the space. The air was heavy with the dayâs fading warmth, carrying the faint scent of blooming osmanthus from nearby gardens. Overhead, streaks of orange and violet tangled in the sky, the quiet lull of dusk settling over the horizon.
You moved with measured precision, each step purposeful, every swing of your blade deliberate. There was no room for playfulness in your strikesâyour focus was razor-sharp, your grace undeniable. Yet, Jingyuan, ever composed, met each of your moves with effortless finesse. His strikes were like water, flowing to meet your fire and never breaking under its intensity.
For all your seriousness, though, his calmness was maddening. The faint quirk of his lips, the glint of amusement in his golden eyesâJingyuan wasnât just matching your skill; he was reveling in your determination.
âI wonder,â he began, his tone light and teasing as he deflected another strike, âdo you always spar with the intention of glaring holes into your opponent, or am I just lucky today?â
You didnât falter. Your blade arced again, faster this time, forcing him to sidestep. âPerhaps Iâm simply trying to make sure you take me seriously,â you replied, voice cool yet laced with underlying challenge. âThough, with how easily youâre dodging, it seems you arenât.â
His laugh was quiet, like the rustle of leaves in the evening breeze. âOh, Iâm taking you seriously,â he assured, his tone dipping into something quieter, something softer. âI simply donât want to hurt you, yĂšzhĂş.â
The nickname caught you off guard, a term of endearment he used sparinglyââJade Bamboo,â elegant and unyielding, as he once described you. It was a fleeting distraction, and Jingyuan, ever observant, didnât let it slip unnoticed.
He advanced suddenly, closing the distance between you with a graceful step. His blade locked with yours, and for a moment, the two of you were frozen in a delicate balanceâsteel meeting steel, neither willing to yield. The closeness was suffocating, the tension between you as sharp as the edges of your weapons.
âYouâre hesitating,â he murmured, his voice a low hum. âThatâs not like you.â
Your eyes narrowed, meeting his gaze with unwavering resolve. âI donât hesitate,â you countered, pushing back with enough force to break the lock. âPerhaps youâre mistaking focus for something else.â
The corners of his mouth twitched upward, but he didnât press the matter. Instead, he resumed his measured defense, letting you set the pace. The twilight deepened around you, shadows creeping closer as the sun dipped further, but neither of you seemed to notice.
âIs this how you always are?â you asked, your voice steady as you circled him. âCalm, collected, untouchable?â
Jingyuan tilted his head, as if genuinely considering your question. âIt depends on the company,â he said finally, his tone light but with an edge that hinted at something deeper. âThough, I admit, sparring with you does bring out a side of me I donât often show.â
âAnd what side is that?â
âThe side that enjoys the challenge,â he said simply, though his gaze lingered on you a moment too long. âAnd perhaps... something more.â
Your blade struck again, cutting through the air with precision, but Jingyuan deflected it effortlessly. This time, though, he didnât step away. Instead, he stepped closer, his golden eyes locking onto yours.
âYou fight beautifully,â he said, his voice quiet yet firm, carrying the weight of a truth he hadnât intended to voice.
You stilled, your weapon lowering slightly as his words sank in. The air between you felt charged, the unspoken tension that had lingered throughout the spar now palpable. But before you could respond, he spoke again.
âYou donât have to prove yourself to me,â he said softly, his voice dipping into something almost tender. âYou already have.â
For a moment, you were at a loss for words. The sincerity in his tone, the way his gaze held yoursâit was disarming in a way you hadnât expected. But you werenât one to back down so easily.
