No one asked for it, but no one had to. He's all I think about. Crown me queen of Taiga all else are inferior

Keeping it spoiler free but with implied stuff.

˚₊‧꒰ა··········································•✦•··········································໒꒱ ‧₊˚

Dating Taiga has never been easy or straightforward

Every day is different

You're not sure if you're going to get the man who remembers you and holds you in both strong arms with those bright eyes bearing down on anyone who passes

Or the man who wipes his earwax on your nice shirt

Who are you again?

Oh. Right haha. Why didn't ya just say that?

The longer you date Tai the less you have to guess, the more you know it's going to be the former

He'll ask you strange questions, assessing you, assessing the day, the time, the place

And you realize he's come to trust you. His 1 reliable constant. You don't lie to him, you're not scared anymore and you're holding him when he wakes up, all good signs for where he is

Over time, you've become his pillow more then his rabid chew toy to simply sink his teeth into and make fuck off when he's tired of you

No.

You're warm.

So very very warm.

It's a warmth he constantly seeks out, a warmth like no other

It comes in more than body, it comes in your words, your eyes, your gaze, the way you carry yourself, the way you trust him.

Love is a dime a dozen. Taiga could make and loser fall in love with him.

But trust?

Trust is letting him point the gun at your head and not moving. Perhaps flinching. That's instinct.

You stand there.

Waiting.

Believing he won't pull the fucking trigger and spray your curse all over the casino.

And you're right.

He just smirks at you past his messy bangs and gleaming rings, lowering the beautiful weapon with a limp wrist, drawling with a simple cocky smile

"didja miss me~?"

And worse? You did. You always do.

Missions seem to be a problem for him. Long periods of time that you may be gone from him affect him, his reproach, his rapport.

The jealousy.

All of these change, of course, depending on how you respond to his questions. Theres never many. But your honesty or lack thereof will give you away every time.

Sometimes it's fixed with a simple "I missed you, Tai" and a smile, others leave with bullets fired and a threat you know he'll make good on aimed at them, never at you

Though he's thought plenty about marring that skin in a public way. A way anyone would recognize, even him.

Taiga loves deeply and intensely.

Though you'd be hard pressed to call him someone who yearns, rather than someone who takes advantage of opportunity

There's precious little that keeps him away from you. If you call him, he'll show, perhaps forgetting why but always there

Throwing an arm around you, very easily and readily engaging in PDA because who fucking cares? Let em watch, they'll all look away anyways~

Only to huff in vague disapproval when you tell him no seriously

A man who will forget date nights or roll his eyes at plans he doesn't want to do anymore

The majority of your dates will be spontaneous! ... And possibly blood covered!

Throw you his wallet and tell you to go wild with however much remains

Then demand a fashion show with a cigar in his mouth waiting to see what surprise you got him

Might slam down your waiter on the table and click back the safety

Don't look at him like that.

Life's always fun when you don't know what's gonna happen, ain't that right?

Casino dates are probably common, demanding you sit in his lap like a good luck charm. His breath casing your neck and his arms firmly around your waist while you hold his cards

The things he does for you are rare and exceedingly pointed...

Like a pink sparkly .45 for Christmas~ don't you love it? C'mere let him show ya how to shoot it

Or how you complained that plant died. Well this one's a plant. Harder to kill.

Watch - lemme eat this leaf -

What you always found surprising with Taiga is the amount of autonomy you have. Given Sinonstra's ... Reputation you expected ... Well, more helicoptering or needy demanding texts all the time

But Tai doesn't seem to care. Sleep here? Sure. Goin' out with your friends a little skimpy? Well make sure to save that look for him later. Going shopping? Ya need cash? Come home, don't come home, message him in a couple days so he knows you're not dead and we're fine.

Taiga finds an ease with you. Something that brings him home every night, arm seeking you out in his silken sheets even if you're not there

Just to breathe in your hair, remember the smell and hear the words "I love you" fall from your perfect lips for him to swallow all over again, let the greed consume him

Even if it's all fucked. Let him have this kindness.

He's told you things, many things, things that sound unbelievable while his eyes pierce through you, waiting to see if you jump back or disbelieve him

The strangest thing? You don't.

Something about these are different... Strangely so.

Some you don't want to believe. You wish to unhear, undo, unfeel

Still you feel it in your gut, clawing and gnawing harder than any thorns and vines worming their way through

He's right.

I won't get into NSFW but I can assure you. It's frequent. Random. Intensive and never lacking.

But rarely romantic.

Maybe you want more Taiga

Try "Because I love you" or if you're an ADULT

I started writing this bc of the BOF RPF scare (I don't feel like explaining. If you don't know. Just uhh RPF was illegal for a minute), and I lowkey lost interest right before the main date, so it's not finished lol. If someone wants to finish it, go on ahead. I might write the rest of it at SOME point, but not until later. It's also not beta read lol.

Anyway, I don't have a name for it. They're both in highschool, and aren't dating. SFW, fluff. Exactly 1100 words. Enjoy?

Summary:

Class 1-A don't find Vigilante Deku.

Instead, when Izuku drops out of UA, he disappears for five agonizing years, forcing his peers to grapple with his absence, especially Katsuki and Shouto, whose desperate, grief-fueled search changes the trajectory of their lives.

But when Izuku finally resurfaces, he's not who they remember—quirkless, struggling with addiction and a shell of the person he once was, leaving Katsuki and Shouto to question whether it's too late to save what's left of him.

Chapter seven snippet - Shouto's POV:

Unable to hold himself upright a second longer, Shouto collapses in relief, and then, just as quickly, a fresh anger wells up inside him. He grasps Izuku desperately by his upper arms and yells, “What were you thinking? You don’t have a quirk! What if I wasn’t here? What if I was too late?” Izuku turns away from him and Shouto chokes on his words, striving to make him understand. “You could have died! I can’t go through that again, Izuku. Do you hear me? I can’t go through that again.” Izuku says nothing, a stubborn pout on his face, and Shouto pulls him into a feverish embrace, selfishly taking Izuku’s warmth for himself. How could he think that their spirited, heroic, kind-hearted Izuku would ever be content watching from the sidelines?

@joandyurilover is truly going insane in tiktok (aka me)

I'm going to get Yuri Isami pregnant if he keeps on being so hot.

⚠️ TW // implications of self harm scars / scars in general ! Feel free to skip this request if it makes you uncomfortable ❤️‍🩹

I was reading through the ghouls' past seasonal voice lines and giggled when I remember how Leo made MC wear a skimpy santa dress XD (in all honesty I'd love to see it too.....//WHO SAID THAT)). But! I was thinking! How do you think the Vagastrom ghouls (esp Leo obvi) would react upon finding out about MC's past scars (could be from anything really) on their revealed skin because of the dress Leo made them wear 🤔🤔🤔🤔

While he's like... That. I seriously don't think Leo would make "fun" of it (esp if it's clearly from sh), but I do think he'd still point it out or jab at the topic briefly???? LIKE I COULD TOTALLY IMAGINE HIS FACE DROPPING then he'd huff and make a comment about it with a slight frown (trying to act indifferent I see).

I think Sho would look the most worried and yk actually "ask" if it's okay or does it still hurt (I'm sorry I'm such a sucker for this man esp after the Deadly in Love EP (CAAALLMMM YOURSELF DOWN NO ONE'S TAKING YOUR SENPAI AWAY FROM YOU!!!)). While Alan would probably just stand there and lingers more around MC in a way that he wants to give them extra attention and comfort but also doesn't want to crowd them in some way.....

But yeah ‼️‼️ let me know what you think about it if you're comfortable enough to talk about it ‼️‼️ could be a fic or simply a ramble tbh I just find the topic interesting but don't really have anyone else to talk about it 💔💔

–🌻✨

Ty SM 🌻anon! I appreciate that sm and your care for me is so gentle omg I appreciate you 💖 AND THANK YOUUUU!! My research on characters I don't even like - omg girlie I spend hours deep diving them

I'll do this kinda ranty style BC I have so many thoughts on Vagastrom

TW: SH!!!!

I don't think Leo is against using that kinda thing as an insult or being rude about it, I see Leo as an online bully and for them nothing is off limits

But in my characterization of Leo I always base it off of context

Leo wants you to do what he wants you to do and will manipulate you to hell n back to get you to do it

*However*

If we're talking Leo at the end of season 1? After what he said to Mc?

He's not saying anything about it.

Leo is grabbing your arms and sighing about wasting makeup on your scars so you don't need to have that weakness shown and he doesn't feel guilty for putting you in that position (you can take the Leo wears makeup HC from my cold dead hands)

Leo doesn't mind being an asshole and the one everyone hates, he takes pride in it and especially in ruining people's day

But if you were truly nothing to him, he never would have wasted his time, his money and his words on you.

You're still a toy NGL, something he can have fun with and he won't feel bad but it's like (much like Sho) you're his property. He can make fun of you however he wants, destroy your relationships with anyone who tries to get you but you being uncomfortable (to that degree) he won't allow.

He'll protect you and jump anyone who tries to do anything to you with a Cheshire smile on his face

Now Sho on the other hand

Tries to keep everything as casual as possible. Even when Mc was like "next year?" He just smiled and said "next year."

He'll bring things up in a way that doesn't expose you but still make note of it

If you think he sees you in that skimpy outfit and his first thought is "I'm gonna talk to you about your scars" then you're wrong

He's just gonna ask if you want something for the area's you harmed in. If it's arms, then long gloves, legs he's gonna grab you some stockings, etc etc

Sho believes that's a very personal thing and would be like "I see you" without making you uncomfortable about it and giving you the choice to hide it from others before they see

He'll talk to Leo if you're worried about that (hit him up the back of the head)

This whole thing is uncomfortable enough without revealing something personal

If you wanna talk about it then he knows you'll find him and talk about it but pushing someone isn't the way. It's never the way.

Alan, however, is 100% more direct

He was being respectful and not looking at you in any way - avoiding his eyes as much as possible

But as soon as he spotted it, he's moving in super close and asking you what happened

Now, Alan is a himbo, you see and probably doesn't know what you did (as I imagine Alan hasn't come into much contact with that stuff and believe he harmed himself in other ways like over exertion or starting needless fights).

He's pulling you aside and making sure you're okay first and foremost and if someone makes a joke like he's getting you all to himself he's gonna glare so hard they shut their mouth with a clack of teeth

And when you tell him he's going to be very apologetic

He didn't realize and didn't mean to make you talk about it

Do you want something? Do you need to hide? Do you want him to talk to Voldemort over here? He'll make sure this doesn't happen again if you're uncomfortable

Do you want clothes? You can wear his clothes.

Or a body guard? He can do that

Leo really overstepped this time and he's going to talk to him about it

So you'll probably get made fun of for "going to cap" but

Leo knows Alan could just grab him and make him a squeaky toy. So... He won't push his luck.

Is probably everything you expect it to be

Everything you dreamed it to be

Except - well - hes less of an all over you type of person than you expected, even in the beginning honeymoon stages. Sho is the type to not wanna makeout on a couch for hours when you two could be sharing in hobbies and actually doing something to integrate closer

The physical? Well it's nice but it's shallow and he's learned just how little he likes shallow... (Coughs Hyde Coughs).

Staying over always gives such an amazing breakfast and the way he flicks his eyes up at you across the table like he's admiring a painting is enough to make your stomach flip

While he's no perfect man nor perfect gentleman, he will always do his best to show up for you in whatever ways that matter to your relationship

Shohei has and always will value quality time (and quantity time) above all else

The silence of you on your phone leaning on the couch beside him while he plays with a tech deck he found under his bed is more than enough for him to be sated

There isn't much in the way of fancy dates, even if he can totally afford it, he just doesn't care for things like that

Your date's typically consist of an activity you two do together

Cooking, him teaching you to skateboard or bike or - well, any of his endless talents

Whatever you want to do, Sho is more than happy to do so

To him, it's never been about gifts or all that cheesy romantic talk, it's always about showing up for your partner. Time and again, when they really need you and when they don't need you ... But want you there.

Listening to you ramble, seeing you passionate and excited is the balm to his soul, the thing that picks him up from the ground and has him leaning on his palm more infatuated with you than he was the day before

Something he never thought possible

Your hobbies are cute and he'll try to do them with you when you ask but he's not an overstepping kinda guy

He is just the kind of guy who can probably do it pretty good the first time he tries it. He's good at basically everything and he really doesn't want to make you feel invalidated in your own hobbies by putting himself there

But if you like fashion? He's your model. You wanna style his hair? Bet, saves him time. You wanna spend 4 hours discussing the logic of your new favorite dumb anime, he'll listen and critique it with you.

He's quite casually affectionate though, PDA isn't a massive deal for him and with this little fanclub of girls sending him love notes all the time - he figures it's the easiest way to cast it off.

An arm around your shoulders on the bench, casual touch on your waist, holding hands around Vagastrom and if you're really lucky, a kiss before class.

Though he does more prefer to keep things behind closed doors... And when those doors close? He's far from shy in his affections

There's just one ... Big problem in your relationship that has been a problem in EVERY relationship Sho has ever been in

Leo

He acts like your third

Your unauthorized third.

Like the costumes??? Oh my god - girlie (GN) he is so scandalous with everything!!

Showing up in Sho's room without knocking just as things were getting good, leaving Sho to throw something at the door and tell him to get out

Or when Leo blatantly mocks you and reminds you that you have no place in Sho's life, just a fun little distraction but once he's bored of you, as he gets bored with everything, he'll leave you in the dust~

Sho always gives him a stern "Leo" when he hears him talking shit and you do truly believe that Sho stands up to him a modicum amount behind the scenes ...

Is it enough though?

He doesn't stop, Leo never stops and calls you a child when you can't handle his behaviour like he's not totally Regina George???

Maybe he should be hit by a bus too.

No matter what you say and what you do, it doesn't seem to stop it or make it go away.

For whatever reason, he's placed firmly in your boyfriend's life and there is nothing you can do to remove him

And he's smug about it

Sho does his best to assure you that he's not going to get bored of you, that Leo just says that shit.

You implore him, beg to know why he won't just let go of the influencer...

His face just scrunches and his lips thin, glancing at the floorboards with a soft sigh

It seems you'll never know...

Might be best to get on his good side too.

The weekend came and went as slowly as the workweek. It had been lined with regret for plans that Shouto never could have agreed to, or at least that’s the excuse he gives himself.
