It's my 2 year anniversary on Tumblr 🥳

Well I know it’s not important since I haven’t been active but I want y’all to know that I’m ok. A lot has happened ranging from me moving out of my parents house to finally being able to pay for my phone and things. Story for another time but just letting you know..

A Play Full of Fakes

Part 2 to Opposites Attract

Being a friend to Zuko for some time made him think through a lot. Especially after his trip with Aang to the sun temple. Maybe it’s time to start placing value on the things he cares about

Zuko watched as you train with Katara. Katara trusted you more than him since you were simply an outsider to the situation. Zuko had a lot plaguing his mind. His emotions and how to control them, the visit of the Sun temple and Aang’s training. Of all the constant changes, you were the one thing that stayed the same. You’d always offer your food up first, you’d offer your sleeping area and even look over everyone in the night. You were always willing to help out with the tasks no one wanted to do simply saying “someone has to get it done.” Zuko always thought back to the day he met you. It confused him as to why you helped him out despite being so cruel. You knew he was fire nation, the of the same group that hurt you and yet you still stuck around to help. Aang wacked Zuko on the head, forcing him to focus on the present. He was training as well, training Aang in fire bending.

“Where’s your head at, Zuko? You stopped mid-lesson.” Aang grumbled at Zuko’s distracted expression. Zuko huffed and loosened his stance.

“Let’s stop here for now.” Zuko walked off to the old fountain. You watched as Zuko seemed bothered by something. Just as you and Katara finished sparring, Sokka showed up with a poster of a play that supposedly showcases everyone’s lives. It was an interesting choice to waste time but you were still on the clock. The group decided to watch the play in attempt to relax from a long day. The play started out with Sokka, Katara and Aang meeting. Actor Katara seemed similar to the real one as they both give out speeches on hope except she’s not as annoying. Sokka was food focused and Aang was an irritating woman who only messed around. As the play went on, things started to get more and more ridiculous.

“Thank goodness it’s intermission. I don’t think I can take more of this.” You grumble. Zuko nods agreeing.

“So far this intermission is the best part of the play.” Everyone who appeared on stage, grumbled about how their characters are misinterpreted. You tap your chin thinking.

“I wonder how I’m portrayed.” Ironically enough, the question shall soon be answered. After Toph was revealed to be a man in the play, it came to a point where Zuko is running through the forest.

“I must get to the temple! But I have no means of getting there!” The actor complained. You watched intently as you readied yourself for your character’s appearance.

“Need a hand?” A muscular woman with a straw hat smiled at him on the back of a cardboard ostrich horse.

“Yes..I mean..I request your assistance as I must regain my honor!” Actor Zuko was mildly flustered by my character’s appearance.

“I’m so cool! I’m played by a muscular woman!” In attempt to reflect the actress, you flex the muscles that are not exactly there on you. At some point, the actors playing Zuko and you were alone for a moment. Actor Zuko took the hand of actor Y/n and stared at her for a beat.

“Y/n! We may have been around each other for some months but I think I’m I love with you!” The moment was dramatic and just as the two actors were going to kiss, actor Aang cut in the moment with a joke.

After the play’s intermission, you notice Zuko leaving the booth with a troubled expression. Concerned, you follow after him, catching up with him by the balcony that was near. “Zuko, what’s wrong?” you ask, unsure of what’s bothering him.

Zuko takes a deep breath, looking into your eyes with a mixture of emotions. “I can’t stop thinking about something,” he admits. “Why did you stick around with the group, even though you had no personal involvement in any of this? You knew I was part of the Fire Nation, the same group that hurt you and your people. Yet, you continued to help, to care…”

You gently place a hand on his shoulder, trying to ease his worries. “Zuko, I believe in doing what’s right,” you reply softly. “I couldn’t stand by and watch innocent people suffer, like I did. And besides,you’ve changed. You wanted the team to trust you and now you have that trust. Remember when you rambled to me about how you were so scared about not being able to get them to have faith in you.”

Zuko chuckles, a hint of understanding in his eyes. “You always see the good in people, don’t you? Even when I was cruel and acted like a monster, you were there, offering your kindness.”

You offer him a small smile. “People can change, Zuko. And I believe you deserve a chance at redemption, just like anyone else.”

Suddenly, Zuko takes your hands in his, his fingers gently tracing the scars on your wrists from the shackles the fire nation had you in. His touch is gentle, and his gaze becomes even more intense. “Y/n, there’s something I need to tell you,” he begins, his voice soft but determined. “I’ve tried to suppress these feelings for so long, but I can’t anymore. I love you. I love the person you are, your kindness, your strength, everything.”

Your heart skips a beat at his confession, and you feel a rush of emotions welling up inside you. “Zuko, I care about you too,” you respond sincerely. “But we’re in war. I…” you pause as you think back to your family. You were just travelers before the fire nation came. Zuko notes the hesitation that stopped you.

“I know that last time I did this you said it’s because I might run myself into disaster but this is different. I’ve thought about this moment so many times you may think me crazy. So please..have faith in me, in us.” You wiped your eyes of tears that welled in your eyes.

You feel a rush of emotions welling up inside you. Your main fear was losing more people you cared about but Zuko somehow eased that fear. “Zuko, I care about you too,” you respond sincerely. “But let’s take this slow. We’ve both been through so much, and I want to make sure we’re ready for this.”

Motherly Love

A woman with her children. What more could you want?

Genshin Impact

“Lumine! Aether! Time for dinner!”

A woman with short blonde hair and yellow eyes to match called out to her children. They both came in quickly with their small wings. Lumine landed on her feet gracefully while Aether fell on his butt.

“Ha! I win! You owe me candy!” Lumine cheered. Aether grumbled as he sat at the small table with his mother.

“You cheated! You took off before I said go!” Aether complained. The two children glared at each other before their mom placed their plates in front of them. The twins stopped their argument to eat their food.

“Do you two want to join me in the stars tonight?” Their mother asked. The small twins nodded excitedly as they ate their meal. Their mom told them to finish the food and do the dishes before they went out.

As the sun dipped below the horizon, casting a warm golden glow over their little cottage, Lumine and Aether finished their meal and eagerly washed the dishes. They couldn't wait for their nightly stargazing adventures with their mom.

Once the dishes were done, the three of them stepped outside, and their mother spread her arms wide, revealing a pair of shimmering translucent wings. Lumine and Aether looked at each other with excitement as they activated their own wings, matching their mother's ethereal grace.

The night sky twinkled with a myriad of stars, and the trio soared into the sky, leaving behind a trail of sparkling stardust. Each night, they would explore new worlds, unraveling the mysteries of different realms, and creating enchanting tales of their adventures.

One night, they landed on a planet shrouded in mist. As they ventured deeper, they encountered a forgotten civilization in desperate need of hope and inspiration. Lumine, Aether, and their mother listened to the stories of the inhabitants, weaving new legends that spread like wildfire among the people, reigniting their spirits and bringing unity to their society.

Another night, they found themselves on a planet of advanced technology, where the people had lost touch with their ancient roots. Lumine and Aether showed them the beauty of nature and the importance of cherishing their past while embracing the future.

Throughout their cosmic journeys, the family encountered wonders beyond imagination - from ancient celestial libraries to mystical beings who gifted them with newfound abilities. Their stories became renowned across the universe, inspiring countless generations to dream big and explore the unknown.

“Remember my children..if you ever start missing home, gaze at the stars and think of the memories that we share. Because no one came take that from you.” Lumine and Aether agreed with their mother’s words without a second thought. They were family and this family can never be separated by distance.

———

Aether looked up at the stars as the sky started to become pained with color as the sun went down. As the sky darkened, he started to trace the constellations with his finger. Paimon watched him, she was certainly confused but she had a feeling that interrupting him wouldn’t be for the best.

Aether continued to trace the stars until he made a fist in the air and tears began to flow.

“I wonder what we will do when we are reunited….it’s been years since we’ve last seen Mother. Should we see her first?” Aether tried not to cry but the memory of his sibling and mother was too much.

I’m glad that it made you happy! Here are Raph and Mikey!

Leo and Donnie

It’s not lazy

Y/n was supposed to have the best vacation ever. No mess, no fuss. But when their friends take “fun” a bit too far. All of the progress they made goes to ruin. It’s not being lazy. It’s relapse.

You hung out with April and the turtles. They were having a dance off and you two were the judges as for a fair chance. It started off great. They danced and tried to out do the other. Soon the competition ended with Mikey being the winner. While April congratulated Mikey, Leo stepped up to you and whined about his loss.

“I demand a recount! It is I that should’ve won!” Leo grabbed your shoulders and started shaking your back and forth. It was that moment where you saw something in him that you tried to forget. You froze, pushing him off of you backing up from him. Leo paused his actions to take in account your own. Raph took notice and joined the two of you.

“Y/n? Are you ok?” Raph reached out to you went to touch your shoulder but in your moment of panic, you swat his hand away.

“Don’t touch me!” You shriek finally getting the other’s attention. You look at their eyes and saw them as they slowly approached you.

“Y/n? We just wanna understand.” Mikey calmly said with a smile. Donnie took a step to you.

“Have you been feeling awful since the start of this? On a scale of one to ten how would you rate it?” Donnie asked, scanning your body trying to figure out what was wrong. Leo reached out to you but the fear and panic in you caused you to run. You ran from the friends that held you dearly. The ones that you kept so many things hidden away from them. When you got back home, your aunt was out at work. You closed the door to your room and slipped into your bed. You covered your head with a pillow. Days had passed since then. You skipped school to avoid April. You haven’t gone down to visit the boys and you haven’t left bed. The only reason you got out of bed, was because of a gentle taping on the window.

Raph

He was too worried about you. His worry for his brothers was small compared to his with you in that moment. You left so suddenly and in such a scared way. He couldn’t help but worry. April consoled him telling him that you may need a while before you were ready to talk.

He took April’s advice and held the hope that you would come back to him. He held out for two weeks before he cracked and chose to visit you.

He peered into the window trying to get your attention. You didn’t move at all. Raph frowned and tried to open the window on his own.

When it did open, he awkwardly shuffled into your room falling on the piles of clothes and trash. He cringed at the feeling but got up and sat on the other end of the bed.

You slid down to him a bit due to the way the bed tilted with him but you didn’t move either way. Raph fiddled with his fingers and tapped on his legs before starting conversation.

“So…how are you feeling?”

“Like shit.” You grumbled. He clicked his tongue.

“Profanity..”

“Right..”

The quiet was heavy. Raph had felt the feeling of lifting concrete but this was just as heavy. He couldn’t take the pressure of your emotions being held like this.

“Raph, is that your fear stink?”

“No..?”

You chuckle at his response and he sighed. He didn’t think to make you laugh but it happened. Raph leaned back and looked at you.

“Y/n? Do you wanna talk about it?” You paused for a moment. Your throat feeling tight and your thoughts running wild. You shook your head curling up into a ball.

Raph nodded back to you then left your room. After a few minutes, he brought back a sandwich and a cup of water.

“Food always makes me feel better and I don’t think you had real food in who knows how long. Why don’t you eat and we clean up your room? You can feel good while being productive.” Raph encouraged. You smile, taking the plate from him.

“Thanks.”

Mikey

Mikey wasn’t sure how to process your response. He knew you were upset but couldn’t fathom why. April told him that you would go to them if you needed anything. Having faith in that he allowed two weeks to pass by.

After two weeks of radio silence, he decided to visit your home. Upon his arrival, he could feel something was wrong. You had your lights dim and your room was incredibly messy. While he knew that you would get messy sometimes, you never let it get this bad.

Mikey knocked on the window but after no answer, he let himself into your room. He smiled as he stood over you. You were laying in bed not moving to even look at him.

“Oh,Y/n? Your favorite turtle is here! Are you ready for some awesome fun with me?” He grinned. Surely, hanging out with him would pull you outta your slump.

“Sorry. Not feeling up to it.” You quietly responded. He was surprised to hear that you didn’t want to do anything. He looked around and thought to himself for a moment.

“You always make me feel better with food and a movie. Would you like that?” He decided to not ask questions. When you were ready, you’d tell him. Although he really wanted to ask what was on your mind, he had a feeling that you wouldn’t tell him what was going on right away.

“I’d.. like that.” You sat up and looked at him. He grinned and went to embrace you in a tight hug but paused before he got to you.

“Can I hug you?” He remembered how Leo grabbed your shoulders and the reaction after. You smile and open your arms to him with a nod. He bear hugged you, squeezing you but not too hard. He eventually let you go and hopped to the door avoiding the stuff on the floor.

Of Course! I hope you know that things will get better! I’m gonna have to split this into parts so I can get it out sooner.

Raph and Mikey

It’s Not Lazy

Y/n was supposed to have the best vacation ever. No mess, no fuss. But when their friends take “fun” a bit too far. All of the progress they made goes to ruin. It’s not being lazy. It’s relapse.

“Don’t touch me!” You shriek finally getting the other’s attention. You look at their eyes and saw them as they slowly approached you.

“Y/n? We just wanna understand.” Mikey calmly said with a smile. Donnie took a step to you.

“Have you been feeling awful since the start of this? On a scale of one to ten how would you rate it?” Donnie asked, scanning your body trying to figure out what was wrong. Leo reached out to you but the fear and panic in you caused you to run. You ran from the friends that held you dearly. The ones that you kept so many things hidden away from them. When you got back home, your aunt was out at work. You closed the door to your room and slipped into your bed. You covered your head with a pillow. Days had passed since then. You skipped school to avoid April. You haven’t gone down to visit the boys and you haven’t left bed. The only reason you got out of bed, was because of a gentle taping on the window.

Leo

Leo was worried. He cared about you and wanted to know was was going on but you weren’t answering calls,texts and haven’t visited in a while.

He decided after two weeks passed that he’d come to visit. He looked into your window and noticed that the room was a bit messy.

That in itself wasn’t a problem but empty chip bags and Oreo boxes were just on the floor near the bed. How long were you in bed?

He knocked on the window. Tapped it gently to not scare you. You looked up and said to him that the window was open before laying back down.

Leo opened the window and slipped into the window before closing it. Leo looked around and stepped around the garbage. He sat on them end of the bed as you laid unmoved.

“So…down in the dumps?” His words were light hearted but they only gained a huff from you in response. Leo looked down to you and laid down next to you looking at your tired face. You faced him in silence til you finally broke.

“I didn’t mean to yell at you.. but you reminded me of something I’ve wanted to escape and I got scared. I don’t want you to hate me. I don’t want any of you to hate me.” Tears stained the bed sheets as you moved a strand of hair that got stuck to your forehead. Leo sighed and pulled you closer to him.

“We’d never hate you. It was only a misunderstanding,Love. Take as much time as you need. I’ll be right here with you.” You leaned on Leo, as he mumbled to you how great you were. It was truly a moment that would be hard to forget for both of you. Leo eventually got up and walked off. He came back with a glass of water and a sandwich.

“Don’t even try to say that you aren’t hungry. Those snacks aren’t giving you anything substance.” You laugh as you take the water and sandwich from him. He watched you finish it the water off and gave you a sly smile.

“Damn. You must’ve been thirsty.”

“LEO!”

“HAD TO SAY IT!” The two of you laughed at the joke. To you the atmosphere no longer felt oppressive. It was light and seemed almost warm.

‘One day.’ You thought, ‘One day, I won’t be afraid anymore. I won’t have such ridiculous worries.’

Donnie

At first, he didn’t understand what set you off. He wanted to know more to ease his mind but he hadn’t seen you in days. When one week became two, he decided to do a bit of digital digging to figure it out.

As he dived into the internet and tried to find anything that could relate to your response, he soon found a case file in police records. It wasn’t unusual for him to hack in and check police files but your file worried him to his core.

It was a restraining order against someone you talked briefly about before. A previous relationship that went awry and caused you severe emotional distress.

With a heavy heart of worry and guilt, Donnie quickly went to your home. He went to the window and tapped on the glass. When you didn’t respond, he pushed up on it. The window to his surprise opened up allowing him to slip in.

“This place is a mess. You really should own air fresheners.” Donnie pointed out the noticeable lack of cleaning in the room and used his robot arms to pick up the mess. Trash in the can, dirty clothes in the basket and books back on the shelves. When he could finally see the floor again, he sat on the now cleared off chair.

Donnie crossed his legs in the chair and watched as you turned over to look at him. Donnie felt pain in his heart as he looked in your reddened eyes.

“I didn’t mean to yell. I just..got so scared and afraid. I know none of you would hurt me but I was too scared. I don’t want y’all to hate me for that. Please don’t hate me.” Tears kept falling as you felt as if your heart was gonna explode and your throat was going to collapse.

Donnie moved the chair closer to you and pat your head. He wasn’t fully comfortable with touching your tear stained face but if it was for you, he’ll let it slide.

“No one is gonna hate you. Nor is anyone going to hurt you. Leo says you may just be lazying around but I think you’re just relapsing. It’s ok if you step back, just try to press forward. Just know that you aren’t alone when this happens.” You sighed as he moved to rub your back.

“Do you need anything?” He asked as he noticed you calming down.

“Can you get me water and a snack?” He frowned and poked your side.

“You’ll get water and a sandwich. You need to mind your health as I from what I can tell you’ve lost weight.” You pushed him away grumbling about him mentioning your size.

“I’m too big anyways.” Donnie gasped and pulled your face to his.

“Blasphemy! You were never too big! You dare deny me to love all of you!” Donnie was always in love with your body. He always said that it brought him comfort whenever he wanted to decompress. You were his source of comfort and if you were going to bring yourself down in his presence, think again!

“You’re my favorite person. Mikey at a close second but you’re always there for me and willing to help me out. Let me be there for you like you are with me.” Donnie let go of your face no longer squeezing your cheeks together, preventing you from talking.

“Alright. Can you get me that sandwich, Dee?” Donnie was more than happy to make the best sandwich in his live just for you. Sure he’s made an amazing sandwich before but he was going to make the best sandwich proven by science and taste buds just for you.

No one told you that growing up fast was so hard.

Rottmnt x reader

You text your younger sibling letting them know that they’re allowed to stay over at their friends house. With quick glee they respond. You didn’t want them to see you at your lowest point. You sat on top of a roof and stared into the colorful sky of the city. It was beautiful.

“Y/n?” The familiar voice of Donnie broke your thoughts as you mumbled a response.

“What’s up?” You strained a smile. As he sat next you, a bit of a distance away as he didn’t want to accidentally bush your body with his.

“Just on patrol. I thought we all agreed to have you and April update us on your location after the whole stabbing accident..” Donnie gave you a look of worry and fear. You didn’t think it was a good look for him. With a long winded sigh, you remember the day you sarcastically said aloud that you got stabbed. You remember the fear in everyone as you dropped to the ground. You felt the scar on your stomach.

“Yeah I remember. I just..forgot. That’s all.” Donnie grumbled something you couldn’t hear before awkwardly asking about your mental health. You stretch your back and look up.

“My mom and dad used to be in a loveless marriage, y’know. My mom is too busy trying to cater to my dad that when something happens, he lashes out like no tomorrow. I’ve become too stoic because he blames me for crying at his actions.” You swallowed down the tears that wanted to well up.

“For the past seven years, I had to grow up to take care of my younger sibling. I made them grow up into such a great person. The person that I wish I could’ve been with the right parenting. My mother decided to abandon both of us and she came back the other day acting as if she held authority over us!” You erupt into laughter as the tears starting to fall down your cheeks as your breathing starts to become irregular. Donnie awkwardly started to try to sooth you.

“It’s ok. Let it all out.” He mutters as he continues his awkward attempt. You wipe of the tears and more anger resurfaces.

“My mother changed because she wanted to. That means when she was with me, I wasn’t worth changing for! The day she left was the day my love for her died. How is a 10 year old supposed to cope with that!?” You start to hiccup,crying more. The tears become faster and you let go of the breath you’d had held onto this whole time.

“Why did I have to grow up so fast,Donnie? Why wasn’t my childhood happy? I just wanted to do regular kid stuff instead of working in every way possible to try to keep our apartment!” Donnie gave in and let you lean on him as you start to calm down.

Your moment of pure frustration has came and went going way of the wind. You now look to the horizon and watch the colorful city lights become hazy from the rain. Thankfully Donnie had an umbrella in his shell.

“I’m so tired..”

“I know,Y/n.”

“Can we get ice cream…and a movie?”

“Your lactose intolerant.”

“But I still want some..”

The Immortal Warrior

Y/n is a creation made by the electro archon but was a failed experiment. Not knowing what to do with her existence, she decides to fight in wars as the archon’s vessel. Someone who will fight the battles as the best warrior.

Arataki Itto. A strong Oni that will go all out for the good reasons….is currently on the run from the Commission. He didn’t do anything, he just …accidentally….hurt a few men who were trying to hurt some other people. Rumors spiraled and now he’s on the run. He hid within a cave as the guards ran off in the direction of where they thought he was. He breathed a sigh of relief but when he looked further in, he saw a beautiful sight. Someone stuck within transparent amethyst. Vines claimed the stone as he looked inside. He traced the facial features of the stranger within the stone. Itto cracked his knuckles and pulled out his claymore. He hit the stone over and over till it broke. The cracking sounds echoed in the cave and then the shatter. The figure fell to the ground and he panicked thinking he hurt her.

“Oh no!”

He rushed to help but the woman immediately landed a heavy kick to his chest. Itto was launched back slightly, coughing as he tried to regain air in his lungs. The swift kick wasn’t enough to hut but it definitely caught him off guard. She stood there as she held her hands Upon further inspection, Itto noticed that the woman had a cold glare on her face but her eyes reflected pain. Pain that lingered as she fell over. Itto quickly scooped her up without a second thought and rushed back to the gang’s hideout. The one place were they were sure that the commission wouldn’t find.

“Itto! We thought for sure that you’d be in the slammer by now! You..also have..” Genta looked down to the woman in his arms. Itto put her down on a space that he used s a bed. Itto started to talk about how he found her. Shinobu was less than happy to find out that he took someone that was unconscious.

“Are you kidding me?! I’m already trying to clear your name from that incident and you bring a stranger in our hideout?! She might report you!” She stressed. Itto instantly disagreed.

“Look at her. I found her crystallized in amethyst! We gotta help her.”

As the two butt heads over what to do, Y/n wakes up the feeling of bandages. Old wounds that had been reopened with too much action had been patched up. Y/n gets up despite the pains in her sides, hands and neck. As she trudged through the hideout, Itto and Shinobu rushed to Y/n to try to stop her. Y/n couldn’t bring herself to submit to the help but she kneeled down and put a hand on her chest.

“Thank you for helping me. I must go now but if you report to the Electro Archon then you will be paid well. I must depart now.” Y/n struggled to stand back up and only managed too with Itto’s help.

“Easy now! You can’t go anywhere like this! Just let me know your name and I’ll get someone to help you! Maybe Sara?” Shinobu looks to Itto unsure on what to do.

“I am Y/n L/n. I am the warrior vessel, ready to help save the lives of Inazuma.” Shinobu furrowed her eyebrows with realization.

This was the silent warrior blessed with intense strength. Despite being a vessel, she had no elemental power of her own.

“Well Y/n. You may call me Shinobu. The oni is Itto. We will help you get back to the archon but..” Shinobu stopped for a moment. How was she supposed to say that the archon might be different.

“I will be in your debt. Let us depart a soon as the wounds close.”

And so they waited. Itto would talk and spend time with Y/n saying that he didn’t want her to be lonely but he really was getting attached to her. Y/n would tell Itto tales of her past battles although she couldn’t remember how she was encased within amethyst. With two whole months passing the group by. Itto had been bailed by Shinobu once again and the time too take Y/n to the archon came.

Itto was nervous. Not only about the well being about his new friend but how the archon would respond. The three of them approached the place where the electro archon resided but the guard stopped them.

“State your name and business.” He gave Y/n a hard stare before she stated her reason for arrival.

“Y/n L/n. I came back to give my report.” The guard froze and let her by. Y/n nodded to him, glad that her authority still stood tall. She marched her way the doors and showed a charm to the guards at the next set of doors before they opened the doors. Itto and Shinobu were scared but Y/n stood tall in the place where she’d train.

“Who disturbs..” The archon pauses upon seeing her. After a moment, a more cheerful voice took over.

“Y/n. You’re.. alive.” Y/n knelt in front of the archon and the two behind her followed.

“I have come back for my next order. But I’d like to request that you compensate them for their help. They found me encased in rock and helped me since.” The archon walked to them and helped Y/n up.

“Would you two mind leaving? I need to speak with my warrior.” Itto and Shinobu left quickly, surprised that the archon even asked in the first place. Y/n and Ei sat in front of each other after Ei got a small box.

“I had plans on letting you go. You may have been a puppet but you were too human. Detached from emotions but you bled and had virtue like humans.” Ei held the box that Y/n felt oddly connected to.

“One day while you were at war, a vision had came to you. You didn’t know of it’s existence because I had erased that part of your memory. What use is a vision when you are trapped in stone.” Ei opened the small box to reveal a pyro Vision.

“Your passion to protect and your intense drive earned you this.” Ei placed the vision in Y/n’s hands. Y/n felt like life itself was returned to her.

“Why?” She asked. Ei stood tall and looked down to her with a smile.

“Y/n L/n, fierce warrior on the battle field. i now relinquish you of your duty and honorably discharge you. I hope you will find meaning in your life.” Y/n looked up to her in surprise but she was also grateful.

A Puppet on its Strings

A test subject has escaped! Do not contact the Director until we find it! Where’s Dr.Williams and Dr.Green?! They were its main caretakers?! What?! The Director is gone too?!

Tonight on our top news, two people are dancing on top of the city’s highest building. More on that story at ten.

The crowd is big being blocked by the police along with few hero's on the floor. The cold night of late November clawed at skin. This would be a good night to head inside to sleep but the crown had their necks bent to look up a tall building. There a young woman stood on the edge of the bars with a young man. The two in their lab coats had calm gazes across the buildings. The only thing holding them steady, keeping them from falling to a grim and pitiful death. Some unknown source who wanted them to live...just barely. The two of them, who were afraid on the inside but totally calm outside. The woman felt her limbs move on their own making her dance. The man followed as well, the two being forced to dance with each other with no way to escape. The people below shrieked as their movements became more and more dangerous. The woman jumped onto the railing and the man took her in his arms. He spun her around before throwing her in the air. Just in that moment, something snapped off of them and the two could move on their own. The woman screamed as the man tried to catch her but he failed. The woman hit the man causing them both to fall. The crowd backed up with screams of terror and the two who jumped became nothing more than a stain on the street.

A pair of hands clawed to cover the eyes of a woman in a suit. The room they were in was dark so anyone could see the faint lines of red slip into her mind.

Ryuji Sakamoto x fem reader

Ryuji found you crying your eyes out on the street near the school. After taking you home, he learns of the situation between you and the coach.

Ryuji held his umbrella looking up at the cloudy sky. Days like this were common so it wasn’t anything unusual, what was unusual was that he found you crying your eyes out on the sidewalk in front of the school. He quickly walked to your shaking form as you wiped the tears and rain away.

“Babe? What’s wrong?” He went to gently touch your shoulder but you slapped him away.

“DON’T TOUCH ME!” You screeched terrified. You looked up with an intense glare but when you saw it was Ryuji, you only broke down more.

“Ryu..I’m sorry! I’m sorry! I’m sorry!” You repeated. Your tears started to flow and became heavier as your apologized but Ryuji stopped you.

“It’s ok! I’m not hurt! Is it ok if I touch you?” Ryuji gently asked. You slowly nodded and he put his blazer over your shoulders. He held the umbrella over your head and the two of you walked to your home. Your parents were never home and always on business trips so no one was there to see what happened to you besides Ryuji. Ryuji sat you down on the couch and left to grab some towels. You slowly dried yourself with the towels thinking about what happened to you.

“Do you want to change? I can leave you alone to do that if you want?” Ryuji asked. You knew he was worried about any possible injuries you may have without his knowledge.

“Y-Yeah. Can you help me up..?” You didn’t have to say and he already helped you into your feet and slowly guided you to your room. He shut the door and you took off your shirt.

Your body was toned for Volleyball. You were used to rigorous workouts and training since your parents did the same when you said you wanted to go to college with it. But this…this was different. You couldn’t bring yourself to continue to stand at the sight of your body in front of the full length mirror. You fell to your knees with a loud thud as your tears started pouring out again.

“Y/n? Are you ok?” His voice expressed immense concern and you couldn’t respond to him.

“R-Ryu? Help me..” You cried. You heard the door open but you didn’t see Ryuji. You heard his footsteps and you saw his feet in front of you but saw nothing else.

“Y/n..Who did this?” He questioned. You looked up to him teary eyed to meet his angry gaze. The only comforting thing about his anger was that it made you so happy to have him.

“It..It was coach..He called me to his office and he seemed happy at first..” You shuttered recalling the moment.

“He wanted to talk about my performance and how I can do better but he started to get closer to me. He said he WANTED me..” You held yourself in your arms as you leaned back down to your knees.

“He tried to touch me! I told him no and then he started hitting me with anything he could grab! He told me I should die for rejecting him! And I honestly believed it! But I don’t wanna die! I can’t leave you to him! ” Your fear started to take you and swallow you while. Ryuji couldn’t do much but stare at the bruises and the scabs that were starting to open back up. Ryuji shook his head clearing his thoughts.

‘My girlfriend needs me. I can worry about shittyshida later.’

Ryuji kneeled down to your level. He didn’t touch you. He knew that’s not what you needed or wanted right now.

“It’s not your fault. His actions were never your fault. You are an amazing person. You are ambitious for wanting to take volleyball seriously. You’re incredibly talented when you play the guitar! I mean you play so well! I love when you do. You’re also smart. You have the top grades in our grade. I don’t know what I did to deserve you but I will always do my best to be sure that I can be someone you can lean on..”

Ryuji let you cry. He let you keep him at a distance until you were ready to hold him. He was going to wait for you to come to him. As time went on, you had cried yourself into a state of exhaustion. Only then you realized that you had been sitting in front of Ryuji in your bra for twenty minutes. Your face went red as you had started laughing. Ryuji smiled despite not knowing what was funny.

“Ryu, can you sleep with me tonight? I don’t want to be alone..” You awkwardly asked. You were worried that nightmares would plague your sleep so having him there would bring you comfort. He stared at you for a second and his face bloomed in a shade of red that would put tomatoes to shame.

“Y-Yeah! I’ll stay over tonight. B-Be glad it’s our day off tomorrow!” He stuttered out. He stood up with you and he walked to the door. You watched as he got to the door frame.

“Thank you, Ryu..for sticking with me.” Ryuji smiled at you.

“There is nothing that I wouldn’t do, for someone so amazing. Just get ready for bed and I’ll do my best to cook you something. I’ll get you some ointment for those injuries too. I love you,Y/n. More than you’ll ever know.” He shut the door behind him and beyond the door you could hear a faint cheer.

“I heard that!” You called after him.

Speak to my Soul

Itadori chose to wander around with his friends, trying to live out a day like everything was normal. He chose to visit the one person that he would always secretly love but never say a word

Mic check..one..two..

Yuji opened a familiar coffee shop. The scent of coffee and baked goods wafted his nose. He looked to the two behind him and asked if they saw anything that they wanted. Megumi stared at the menu thinking while Nobara answered instantly pointing at a cake. The trio sat down with food and drinks in hand.

Alright.. I’m ready when you are

Yuji stared at the stage as it was being prepared for a performance.

“What’s wrong with you?” Nobara questioned, giving him slight judgement.

“Nothing. Just thinking of an old friend.” Yuji thought of the first time he saw the one he loved dearly. Y/n. They were adamant at music. They poured their soul into it no matter what. It was that determination that Yuji fell for.

Yuji sipped his drink and smiled as he looked at his reflection.

“I guess they aren’t here today. They did leave suddenly.” Tiki’s mind was elsewhere as a familiar figure stood at the stage. Yuji took a second sip of his drink.

“Hello everyone!” A excited voice echoed with the mic and Yuji almost choked.

“Damnit! Don’t die, idiot!” Nobara exclaimed as she punched his back to clear his throat. He shooed her away and stared at the one on the stage.

“I’m Y/n! You may or may not know me but I’m an American artist! I used to play in here when I was younger. I played as a hope to get into the industry but that hope became real. So I’m going to play one of my songs from an album that will release tomorrow.” Y/n smiled as if the stares were something they were used to. Y/n sat in a chair and picked up their guitar.

“To the one that I loved..I left him too fast.” The notes of the song left the guitar in such a familiar way that Yuji can remember when Y/n was writing this song. Yuji even sang with them to get it right.

I found myself dreaming

In silver and gold

Like a scene from a movie

That every broken heart knows

Y/n pulled at the strings of each heart in the room. Yuji simply couldn’t look away and for the first time he could feel as if they saw him.

We were walking on moonlight

And you pulled me close

Split second and you disappeared

And then I was all alone

Y/n frowned as they recalled the day they left for America to persist in a supposedly dying dream.

I woke up in tears

With you by my side

A breath of relief

And I realized

No, we're not promised tomorrow

Yuji thought of his incoming death sentence. He didn’t want to die but he didn’t have a choice. He wanted to grow old with people he cared for but none of that was possible with Sukuna.

So I'm gonna love you like I'm gonna lose you

I'm gonna hold you like I'm saying goodbye

Wherever we're standing

I won't take you for granted

'Cause we'll never know when, when we'll run out of time

Y/n smiled as she thought of her best friend in middle school. Yuji was fun to be around. They missed his endless energy.

So I'm gonna love you like I'm gonna lose you

I'm gonna love you like I'm gonna lose you

In the blink of an eye

Just a whisper of smoke

You could lose everything

The truth is you never know

Yuji heard Sukuna in his head asking as to why Y/n was so important to him. Then again he could totally find out on his own.

So I'll kiss you longer, baby

Any chance that I get

I'll make the most of the minutes

And love with no regrets

Let's take our time to say what we want

Use what we got before it's all gone

'Cause no, we're not promised tomorrow

Y/n wrote this song because they knew they’d miss Yuji’s voice and being but never expected their minor missing would turn into desperate longing.

Yuji chugged the rest of his coffee and just as Y/n paused in the song, he stomped up to the stage despite the two freshmen beside him trying to stop him. He looked down to Y/n looking back to their shocked face. Y/n opened their mouth to sing but Yuji started to first.

So I'm gonna love you like I'm gonna lose you

I'm gonna hold you like I'm saying goodbye

Wherever we're standing

I won't take you for granted

'Cause we'll never know when, when we'll run out of time

Yuji watched as Y/n smiled proudly and sang with him. Their voice touched his soul as he felt every amount of excitement in the moment.

So I'm gonna love (I'm gonna love you) you like I'm gonna lose you (like I'm gonna lose you)

I'm gonna love you (love you) like I'm gonna lose you

I'm gonna love you like I'm gonna lose you (oh, like I'm gonna lose you)

I'm gonna hold you like I'm saying goodbye

Wherever we're standing

I won't take you for granted

'Cause we'll never know when, when we'll run out of time

So I'm gonna love (I'm gonna love you) you like I'm gonna lose you (like I'm gonna lose you)

I'm gonna love you (love you) like I'm gonna lose you

The two stared at each other for a while before the clapping began. Yuji couldn’t look away from their eyes. Y/n smiled and put down the instrument before thanking the crowd. Y/n turned away before coming to Yuji with a notepad. Y/n grinned and ran off but Yuji was left stunned. He shook his head and read the notepad. In flowing handwriting a short message was written.

Let’s meet again,Darling.

xxx-xxx-xxxx

-Y/n

Yuji chuckled.

Maybe you weren’t the one who got away.

Spending your birthday with Rottmnt

Raph

My boy has been planning for this day!

“We have to celebrate it!”

He has a vague idea of how things might go but he just wants you to have fun regardless.

“You don’t wanna see the new Jupiter Jim movie? That’s ok! We can see it next time!”

He ends up letting you do almost anything you wanted to do. Parkour? Yes. New style of clothing? Oh definitely! Skydiving? We gonna need to rain check that-

“I’m sorry did you just ask to go skydiving? Can it be indoor skydiving?”

If there’s a mission, you’ll have to convince him to let you go but he’ll make sure that the bad guy knows it’s your birthday

“Can you stop talking because my favorite person has their birthday and they just wanna give you a solid punch for disturbing our fun.”

By the end of the day, he’ll be sure to give you all your gifts before you get to tired to open them.

“Oh! This one’s from Leo! Are you falling asleep? Can you open mine before you do?”

Leo

This man will throw a surprise party on a rooftop.

He’ll have to be reminded by Donnie not to say anything about it.

“Suspicious? Whatever do you mean? I swear it’s not another prank. It’s a-“

“Leo..”

“Sorry!”

Leo tries to plan but Donnie somehow ends up planning the whole thing anyways

“Leo, when I said I help you..I didn’t mean I’d plan the whole thing!”

Leo is definitely the one to get everything the party needs. Even if he hates being an errand boy, it’ll be worth it

“I am not being the errand boy!”

“We need streamers.”

“What color?”

Leo enjoys when it’s all done and the part where he gets to scare you.

“BOO! Surprise! You were so scared!”

Donnie

He considers himself the ultimate gift giver.

“According to my data in your responses to certain things, I’m positive that you’ll love this present!”

Don can get compulsive when planning a party

It doesn’t have to be a surprise party, he just likes planning events

“This will be the best party you will ever have!”

Don can adjust things based on the things you want. If it’s a small party then he’ll adjust accordingly, but if it’s big then he’ll go all out

“It’s your birthday. Just tell me the things you want and I’ll do the rest.

Heart tricks the Mind

Leo loved Y/n. He could never bring himself to admit his feelings until he lost him.

Rottmnt Leo x male! Reader

Leo watched as his best friend read his favorite book. Leo stared intently as Y/n turned the pages of his book.

“What are you looking at?” Y/n questions raising a brow. Leo felt his face flush but he quickly recovered with a cheeky grin.

“Just looking at someone who’s more handsome than words can describe.” Y/n chuckled and turned another page.

————

Leo wondered how they got to where they were as he raided Y/n’s fridge once more.

Leo had gone off the grid. He wouldn’t respond to texts or calls. He would barely show up at Y/n’s place and when he did, he’d say nothing. Y/n constantly asked questions, trying to figure out why Leo hadn’t contacted him in so long. As Leo left Y/n’s home, he grabbed his arm. Stopping him in place.

"Wait,Leo! Why have you shut me out?! You've gone weeks and we haven't hung out much. You come to my place only to raid my fridge! Are you ok?"

"What am I?! Your boyfriend?! I don't have to tell you where I go each time I head out!"

"I would just like a warning maybe?! I'd hate for something to happen to you and no one know where you are...I-"

"We're only friends. Therefore our 'relationship' doesn't have or need to be perfect. Hell, we don’t even have a friendship right now! It's not important! There's no deeper meaning between us!"

"...what?"

"Y/n..I'm sorry. I've just been tired."

"Sorry won't fix shit."

————

Leo hadn’t left his room in a while month. He stared at the past texts shared between him and Y/n. Leo had sent texts apologizing but he wouldn’t respond.

“Leo? Raph told me to give this to you.” Mikey walked in and placed a plate of food on the nightstand although Leo didn’t move. Leo hadn’t realized how important Y/n was to him till he lost him.

“I’m so stupid, Mikey.”

“You can be but I just know you’ll fix it! Or forever have Donnie recounting all your mistakes leading up to this.”

Leo swallowed hard trying to gain the nerve to face the one person that could see through him like glass. Leo planned the perfect apology. He made a banner to hang on the roof of Y/n’s apartment complex. He’d get Y/n’s favorite food and drink along with flowers and a movie to apologize with. Leo had planned for a lot of situations. All of them ending with him alone on the rooftop flowers in hand.

Y/n held a book in his hands studying for his next assignment for a class he’s unfortunately failing miserably in. As he read over the things he needed to know, the sounds of quick footsteps could be heard from the roof. Memories of Leo running around on rooftops with a grin flashed in his mind’s eye but Y/n shook his head.

“It’s better for both of you. Leo can’t expect to be forgiven immediately after he does unforgettable things.” Y/n muttered to himself. Y/n had once loved Leo dearly. A one sided love that went unfulfilled since Y/n fell for the cocky jokes of a turtle that may not harbor any romance in his heart. Y/n sat over his book trying to ignore the now constant stomping but it soon became too much. Y/n in a fit of frustration yelled at the unseen stranger.

“Someone had better be dead!” Y/n opened the window to the fire escape and climbed up to the roof in the cold air. Y/n had forgotten his own jacket but that didn’t matter.

“I swear! People would think to be a little more..considerate..” Y/n trailed off with his words upon looking out to the roof he expected to be empty.

The roof had lit candles everywhere. A tent with a heater was in the center and the familiar scent of his favorite food was in the air. But among it all, the biggest surprise was Leo. He had a bow tie on with flowers in hand. He stood under a banner in large letters saying ‘I’m Sorry’.

“Leo..?” Y/n slowly started. Leo griped the stems of the flowers and kept his distance from the one that made him weak.

“I know. I shouldn’t have said what I said. I messed up! Big time!” Leo started out.

“I know that I hurt you and I know that I should’ve done this sooner but I was scared. April was involved in a mission and she got hurt. She was deeply cut and even Donnie thought she was done for until we actually saw the wound. Thankfully she’s ok but still...” Y/n nodded slowly now understanding why he hadn’t heard from April in a while.

“I saw her in the bed and I thought of you. I thought that if I got too close to you that it would be you in that bed and you wouldn’t..be ok.” Leo struggled with his words, eyes looking down to avoid Y/n’s gaze. Leo hadn’t noticed that Y/n was slowly getting closer to him with hesitation.

“Although, the more I thought about it. The more I realized that I want you to look through me. I want to be seen by someone who really does get me in ways not even my brothers could possibly imagine.” Leo closed his eyes and held out the bundle of colorful flowers.

“This month gave me time to think and I had only realized that I loved you with all I have the moment you were gone! Please accept my apology!” Leo hadn’t heard a response so he opened his eyes only to find Y/n’s body close to his face. Y/n looked down to Leo and grabbed his hand gently. Leo felt his face burn as he dropped the flowers.

“W-When did you get so close?!” Leo squeaked in his embarrassment. Despite his flirtatious demeanor, he couldn’t handle whatever this was.

“Leo..I think I want to kiss you.” Y/n asked softly. Leo was surprised by the comment but soon gathered his nerve.

“By all means..” Y/n connects his lips with Leo’s making Leo to drop the flowers in surprise despite expecting it. After a moment, Y/n pulled back to look at Leo with a stare that Leo had never seen before.
