#postwar verse

“I’ll pretend I’m not hurt then,” Kiya says, looking at her genin team, two the off to the sideb while one is with a medic-nin , faces confused and slightly wary of their sensei’s reaction. They’re at the Chūnin Exams, one of the few teams sent to represent Kirigakure and having one student get hurt right before the actual start and try to hide the injury by pretending to be okay. Like she wouldn’t notice; especially when said genin was her baby cousin.

“Pretend I’m not hurt that you think I wouldn’t notice and hurt you think I’m stupid enough to let you get away with such idiocy.” And here she thought she taught them better. Her gaze flickers from all three children then to the medic. “Tell me, what would’ve happened if I just let them learn their lesson the hard way?” she asks the pink-hair woman brightly, feral smile on her lips.

Sakura was caught off guard by the unexpected question directed her way from the Kiri nin Sensei. She paused momentarily, undoing her chakra before turning her gaze towards the direction where the voice came from.

“Well, as they say, there are lots of ways to skin a cow,” Sakura smiled back at the kunoichi, “I am pretty sure these kids will learn a valuable lesson about honesty if you let them be.”

Sakura’s green eyes softened but the smile remains on her lips, “Although, I have a feeling that as their Sensei, you will not stop worrying about these kids’ safety even if you decided teaching them a lesson the hard way.”

“Shut up and listen.”

Brutus faltered. He’d been complaining to Naswyn about how tough Julius had been on Ashlynn lately. He was worried about his daughter and his brother, “Nas…”

"No, sir. You need to hear me out. Your brother is extremely worried about his daughter, and Ash is partly to blame. I know you don’t like the way he’s treated her, but you’d be the same way towards Gwen had Ashlynn been in her place."

Brutus sighed. That was true except he probably just been harder on Gwen on the Berlin, giving her extra duties and what-not. Not what Julius had done to Ash.

"Go talk to him, Brute. You need to tell Julius how you feel about this situation, not me."

"Yeah, I will. Sorry I came to you about this; I just … needed someone to talk to." Brutus stood and started up his omni-tool. He called up Julius, "Jules, bro we need to talk."

“Do you remember this?”

"Huh?" Addison looked up from the box she’d been rooting through. They were going through Portia’s baby clothes for Ashlynn. She grinned when she saw the onesie that the redhead held.

"You gave this to me right before the twins were born." Portia giggled, "You should use this for the baby."

Addison reached for the tiny article, “Mommy’s little badass. Hopefully she’ll live up to her namesake.” She folded the onesie and placed it on the top of the pile, “Hopefully mine will live up to it too.”

"You know she will. We’re going to be raising her." Portia smiled.

"We?" Addison cocked her head to the side, a smirk plastered to her lips, "So Rana and I have a mouse in our pockets."

"You know what I mean. I’m going to help with her just as much as Captain Grumpy-butt will." Portia stated matter-of-factly. Addison laughed, knowing full well that Portia would be right there if she ever needed her.

 “Give it back.” - Modern AU

"Nope."

"Come on, Shepherd. Give it."

"No." Max answered holding it closer to his chest.

"Maximus Shepherd, if you don’t not give me that back right now I swear to Zeus." Adriano growled stepping closer to the other man.

"Your threats don’t scare me, Martel. If you want it, come and get it." Max grinned, side-stepping Adriano as he launched himself at Shepherd. A smirk filled his face but was quickly squashed when Adriano pulled him down to the ground. Max gasped as Adriano grasped the inside of his thigh.

"Give it!" Adriano growled once again and squeezed Max’s thigh.

"Never!" Max groaned, trying to wiggle away from Adriano’s grabby hands.

"Max, come on. I just want to play Mass Effect Online without fighting with the controller. Gimmie." Adriano pushed Max away and crossed his arms in front of his chest. Max rolled his eyes and gave in. Handing his boyfriend the good playstation controller, Max stood up and walked over to the couch. Adriano grinned, "Victory!"

Adamina groaned. Julius had accidentally left one of his experiments out on the table, and it had accidentally turned Fulia into a ten year old; Adamina was playing mom for five kids instead of just four.

"Miiiinaaaa!!" Fulia whined, "I asked if you wanted to hear a secret!!"

Adamina furrowed her brow, “Lia, you’ve been telling me secrets for the last three hours. Haven’t you told me enough?”

"Nope!!" Fulia giggled and bounced away from the older woman. Adamina groaned again, pinching the bridge of her nose. Today was going to be a long one.

 “Don’t look at me like that.” - Dragon Age AU

"Like what?" Shyanne cocked her head to the side, smiling at the mage. Cassius was very well trained and very adept in the magics he possessed. He was also very good at working at kinks the warrior got when she was out fighting bandits on the Wounded Coast.

"Like you’re going to eat me." Cassius gulped, turning away from the half-naked warrior.

"Was I? I thought I was looking at you with an appreciative gaze. Guess I’ll have to work on my flirting." She grinned, pulling her tunic over her head; he shook his head.

"Your flirting is very bad, Miss."

She stood from his bed and wrapped her arms around his waist. She leaned her head on his shoulder, whispering against his neck, “Well maybe you should teach me how to do it the right way.” 

 “Take responsibility.”

"Said the most responsible guy ever." Julius cocked an eyebrow, "What am I taking responsibility for this time?"

"For— wait a minute, you think I am the ‘most responsible person’?" The elder man paused in his reprimanding. He’d been talking to a junior crewman not Julius, but the Engineer must have assumed, "Julius, are you serious?"

"Yeah. Why not? You’re a pretty great guy. You always do as your told, eat your vegetables, save damsels in distress and when you get into trouble you take full responsibility for it." Julius shrugged, "You’re a role model, Hirana. A sometimes scary, growling, ‘scream down your throat’ role model, but one nonetheless."

Hirana shook his head. That was probably one of the nicest things anyone had said about him. Julius shrugged again, “So what did I do wrong?”
