She was like one of the characters in his games, though not so quite the protagonist. Maybe someone like him, perhaps; someone who was in the shadows, who found it fine even when it wasn't themselves who held the spotlight. She was like the night; quiet, dark, ever-changing.
He watched her, yeah, from glimpses in hallways to stares in classrooms, sometimes he caught her watching him too. And when their gazes met he would glance away while she looked on. She had nice eyes. Was all he thought, because he hadn't really known that much of her, other than that she liked books almost as much he had liked his video games

we loved like fools [Oikawa x Iwaizumi]
Oikawa has never been anything less than first to Hajime. And it has been that way for as long as Hajime can remember, since there wasn't a timeline in his memory that does not include Oikawa Tooru.
(He thinks of Oikawa with snotty noses and tear stained cheeks, and laughs at the fact that the brunette has always looked ugly when he cried.)

When they were five, Hajime discovers a strange fascination with insects, and he would head out with his net and jelly jars to look for them in the midst of tall grass and muddy ponds. Oikawa drags himself along most of the time, bringing his "Iwa-chan don't you find them disgusting?"s and "Don't touch
He was a queer man.
You were a first-hand witness to his never-ending practices, brief catching glimpses through the tinted glass windows of the gym. At some point, he seemed inescapably mesmerised by the mere presence of the volleyball before his eyes as he jumped for a serve. And sometimes you would simply stare, eyes reaching pass the shadows on the glass and focusing on his figure. Oikawa Tooru was tall, a head or so more than you, and he would wipe away the perspiration on his forehead with the back of his wrist before lining up for another hit.

"T....That tickles.." You murmur, voice half muffled by the blanket and the sleepiness of dawn, and when there was no reply heard, you duck your head away from his.

Yes, Akashi Seijuro was a queer man indeed. The way that he lives in disregard to the way everyone else lives, it was as if he lives in another dimension all by itself.

"Hey (Y/N)." He muttered face-down into the bed.
"Yeah?" You replied from the couch.
"You seem really cute sometimes, ya'know?" Lifting his head up, Kuroo rested it on his crossed forearms.
"Of course, why else would you be dating me?" You huffed, retort tinging with a hint of playfulness. Kuroo pouted, bottom lip jutting out to form a slight under-bite.
"Aw, don't be so mean, (Y/N)-chan!" You glanced up at him, eyes condescending.
"But, did I mention, you look cuter when you're mad!" Kuroo taunts, dark orbs glistening in the know that you would take the bait.

Equilibrium [Akashi Seijuro]
It's no question that Akashi Seijuro simply detested being wrong. Being 'wrong' meant that you were.... well, in the wrong. It meant that you were incorrect, that you had failed-in however small the aspect. It was also no mystery that you loved him-to him at least. He'd like to believe that you loved him as much as the distance between the Earth and the Sun, even when the moon was in their way.
But he wasn't wrong. He was, as he'd always liked to believe-right. You were, in-what most people would call-love with the red head, well, not so much 'love' as affection or attraction. He was, as you'd like to say, the love of your life, or rather, y

Damn. The digits on your hand were peppered by icy stings as you struggled to pull yourself off the snowy ground, and back onto your feet. However, it seemed that your limbs disagreed with your intentions, as you flopped back down, your previous efforts futile.

Fantasy Over a Minor Key
In another life I am a veterinarian, a pilot, an astronaut a surgeon, a good husband, an invisible organist, the rocket and the abandoned church, I know exactly what's wrong. In another life I choose to ask, and the question somehow changes everything: so in another life you are still plucking words from the Oxford dictionary, you are looking through the window at the dark forest, the gloaming sky - your mind is lost at secrets, your tea has gone cold, your pen still roams in a daydream of winged wolves. In another life April didn't happen, May left like jokes and too much wine: a stomach ache, a good memory, scorching echoes in my head - Summer was a Monet painting all the way through December. In another life I got lost and came back to the lakeside where we kissed for the first time, we brought home a stray named it after something weird raised it for 5 decades, in another life I didn't make up any of this. In another life the shape of a conch shell doesn't remind me of

The Heat Devours (Yandere!Dabi x Reader)
"Ssh."
His voice is languid, close to your ear as you make a sound of distress. The grainy fabric of the gag is rubbing uncomfortably against the corners of your mouth, pressing your tongue down and leaving an unpleasant taste behind. The ropes tying your wrists, knees and ankles are uncomfortable too, but at least there's a thin layer of fabric to mitigate the pressure, if only a little bit.
The heat is getting to you, though.
Dabi seems wholly unaffected by it, even clad in his heavy black trenchcoat and nonchalantly holding you on his lap, his arms crushing you to him in a way that suffocates you far more than the smoke clogging the air
tragedy is not foreign to the cities. whether it’s a strange ship that hovers overhead, a meteor, or creatures, the stories and sights never appear to be exaggerated. it’s frightening to have to live through such things and despite the frequent encounters, the shock never fades. but no matter how bad the situation is or how dangerous it seems, there is always faith.

iwaizumi isn’t fond of the first day of school. it’s always the same thing: introduce yourself to the class and share something interesting. he tries to come up with something good, he really does.

For those of you who have been with me from the very start, you would see that it went from 'innocent fangirling' to actual writing.
