A low hum of appreciation sends your toes curling as Bokuto strokes his tongue languidly against the apex of your legs. Heâs learned to slow down and take his time, more conscious of your need to be built up in stages.
âYou taste so good,â he mumbles against the wet slick of your plumped lips, unwilling to part further than absolutely necessary to form words. âI could eat you out all night if youâd let me.â
You moan encouragement, emphasizing it with a tug against his hair to put him back flush against you. He obliges, groaning as your grip gets tighter when he hits that one spot.
âKou,â you whine, hips canting up slightly seeking more pressure, more contact, more of his talented tongue driving you to the edge of completion and over it.
âThatâs it baby, let me hear that pretty voice saying my name.â His voice is low, words caught in his throat making them come out guttural and sex infused.
âPlease, Kou, more.â You can do little else but gasp the request, crying out sharply as his lips seal over your clit and he sucks hard. Orgasmic pleasure rips through your body sending your limbs flailing but he holds you down, sucking longer than you think he has breath to do until youâre practically sobbing.
When he pulls away you look down, bright golden eyes meeting yours and a smug smile covered in your essence.
âYou look so beautiful like this,â he says, wiping the evidence of your satisfaction away before crawling over you to lay delicate kisses across your face as you catch your breath.
L: Likes (What they like in the bedroom)
As much as Bokuto loves giving compliments, he also loves receiving them. Tell him not only how good he makes you feel but what you love about him. Heâll get a huge boost of confidence when you say how safe you feel in his arms. Tell him how much you love his eyes and seeing all he feels for you. Compliment his strength.
Bokuto is vocal and he enjoys it when you are too, not only when heâs doing things to you but when youâre reciprocating. Moaning around his cock will have his head kicking hard back against the pillows (or chair or wall or lockers or wherever you decide to hit your knees for him).
Loves when you run your fingers through his hair, especially after itâs freshly washed and still slightly damp.
Grip his biceps, boy works hard on those and feeling you appreciate them makes him happy.
In the afterglow, trail your fingers lightly over his back if heâs face down or on his chest if heâs face up. He relishes in contact.
The storm has been raging all day, but never getting quite
cold enough to transform the precipitation into snow. Sitting on the train,
Aone watches as streaks of water shoot down the window, eyelids drooping thanks
to an extra long practice and the general darkness of the sky.
It comes to a stop, doors opening to let in more waterlogged
travelers but one visage in particular catches his attention. Sopping wet,
without an umbrella or slicker in sight, ______ stands shivering as she clutches
one of the support poles. He can see from here her fingers are almost blue.
He wants to help, but is hesitant. Heâs fairly sure sheâll
recognize him given that heâs a rather hard person to miss at their school, but
will she even want help from someone like him? That question is answered as her
eyes land on him, an unexpected smile erupting on her face dispelling the
discomfort formerly there.
âAone-san,â she greets, walking briskly to his position and
taking the empty seat next to him. âAm I glad to see you!â
He grunts a short greeting, hands clenched together in his
lap.
A shiver runs over her body, followed by sniffles. He has no
doubt sheâll end up sick because of this. Before he can talk himself out of it,
Aone shrugs out of his heavy, water resistant jacket, plopping it over her
shoulders. Too cold to protest, she tugs it around like a blanket while sending
him grateful smile, one that drives away any feeling of cold from his body.
As the train reaches her stop, _______ stands once more and gathers
her bags. âThanks for helping me warm up,â she says, pushing the jacket towards
him.
He shakes his head, standing along side her and gathering
his own belongings. They exit the train to a thankfully covered platform where
he extracts the bags from her hands and gestures that she put on the garment
once more.
âOh, but Iâm just a few blocks from here,â she protests, âIâll
be able to take a warm shower and change in no time!â
Aone chastises himself for the blush threatening to erupt on
his cheeks at just the mere mention
of her in the shower. Shaking his head, both in opposition to her protesting
and to shake off inappropriate imaginings, he sets down the bags, wraps the
jacket (which is more like a dress on her) around her body and zips it up,
tugging up the hood for good measure.
Nodding once, Aone picks up the bags and gestures for her to
walk.
Sighing, she does so, picking up the pace as they emerge
into the deluge. It takes a bit longer to get there thanks to the slick
sidewalks but eventually they reach her home. She opens the door, beckoning
Aone to enter as well which he does.
Setting down her things, he waits for her to take off his jacket.
Upon itâs return, he places one arm then the other through the arm holes. Despite
their frigid and wet walk, the inside is warm and smells faintly of ________âs
perfume; Aone wonders if heâll ever want to wash this jacket again.
âThanks again.â Her voice draws his attention to her face.
Looking up at him, hair still wetly matted and face slightly pale she crooks
her finger. He bends down obediently only to have shock rush through him
followed by a whole new type of heat when she pecks his cheek. He stands
quickly, eyes wide and she giggles. âIâll see you at school tomorrow, Aone-san.â
He nods, hand grasping the door and body practically flying
down the steps but a smile, small but strong, refuses to leave his mouth, no
matter how hard the rain falls on his head.
Re-blogging cause itâs sure to get buried.
Friendly reminder to turn off best stuff first, turn on notifications and PLEASE reblog. Likes are great but reblogs boost our confidence.

A/N: I wasnât originally going to do the First and Second years but I did them anyway? Hopefully I pegged them right đ enjoy!
Oikawa: He finds himself attracted to level-headed, down-to-Earth people who have a fun-loving side to them as well. He doesnât really have a preference for introverts or extroverts, but itâd be best for whoever he dates to be accustomed to meeting other people and going to games or parties. Oikawa gets stressed easily because he overworks himself and bottles up this side of him/negative emotions in general in order to not distract from his cheery, popular side. Someone whoâd be there for him at his worst and wonât judge him and also get him to vent would be great. They need to be sympathetic towards his issues, but strong-minded and wonât let him keep up with behaviors that hurt him or others around him. They also need to understand how important volleyball is to him and can work with his schedule. Heâs a pretty affectionate guy too, so anyone receptive to that would be ideal.
Iwaizumi: He prefers people with personality traits similar to his (responsible, rational, mature) but are more animated and childlike (idealistic and inspiring, not immature and overly emotional) than he is. He would enjoy someone with an optimistic view on life and is loyal to the people they associate with. He also likes people who are strong-willed and take charge of situations instead of being a follower or pitying themself. A calm, caring spirit would suit him well, too.
Matsukawa: A chill person with a mischievous side is the perfect match for him. Mattsun just wants someone whoâs low maintenance and can have deep conversations with, but can also pal around with him and crack dumb jokes with. He can also be a a tease, so he needs someone who wonât get offended at his comments easily.
Hanamaki: Similar to Matsukawa, Makki wants someone he can easily make jokes with and will tolerate his occasional teasing, however, he prefers more outgoing/louder people to calm people. He also likes people with loud or odd laughter, he really enjoys hearing it and it makes him crack up as well. Also heâs pretty keen on pranks, so someone good at them would be a huge plus in his book.
Kyoutani: Mad Dog-chan gravitates towards people quite unlike him. People who are helpful, kind, and sympathetic towards others catch his eye. His general awkwardness and âtsundereâ personality requires whoever he falls for to be outspoken and understanding so they can catch on to the true feelings underlying his intimidating exterior and let him know how they feel.
Yahaba: Definitely more of an introvert man. He likes people who are more on the academic side but can appreciate his love for sports, and respects others. Straight-forward, mature people with a little fire to their personality really strike his fancy. Also someone willing to put him in his place and is unafraid to give others reality checks (without sounding patronizing) is fantastic to him.
Kindaichi: He is a fan of more reserved people who are direct and in control of themselves and their emotions. They must be independent and self-reliant, people who are overly needy or attempt to boss him around in a relationship will drive him away. He prefers those with knowledge of experience with volleyball or play other sports, but book smart people are not entirely unlikable in his eyes.
Another amazing assessment! These feel very true to these characters! Great job!!
A/N: Here is something I made on a whim lmao. I hope it can help you guys with how I do matchups, and it can help you do them as well. Also, these are just my HC and they are pretty broad. Iâm sure any of these boys can make it work w/ anyone as long as there is love.
Lemme know if you want another one for a different school!
Daichi: Someone driven, ambitious, and/or focused. He likes people who are passionate and know what theyâre about, but are humble and caring towards others. He doesnât really mind whether they are outgoing or not, but overly shy people wouldnât work out well with him (heâs just very social due to being a captain and his partner will most likely have to meet a lot of people through him) Also, someone with sass or spunk is a huge plus in his book.
Suga: Like Daichi, he is drawn towards people who have a sass to them but are caring. Suga tends to go for shyer, âbookwormishâ people who have a more extroverted side to them when you get to know them. Suga tends to be a nurturer too, so anyone he can take care of (and will also take care of him in return) would be great.
Asahi: He can go two ways. Someone loud, proud, and basically the total opposite of him (yet is kind and can encourage him) is pretty much a perfect match for Asahi. They would keep him on his toes and prevent him from succumbing to his own anxiety at times. However, someone who seems meek and sweet but doesnât take shit of any caliber would work just as fine.
Hinata: He really doesnât need much from a partner? Just someone to engage in his hype for volleyball and just be supportive of him. However, he does need someone who is mature(ish) and can âkeep him in checkâ. Heâs more of a beneficial person to date, though. His enthusiasm and optimism is infectious.
Kageyama: Kags isnât a very needy person and heâs focused on his sport. So someone who can support him and either plays or has knowledge about volleyball would be best for him. He can be awkward and cold at times, so someone who can take charge of conversations and PDA and make him see the brighter sides of things would be great too. Heâd feel more comfortable around them and unafraid to share his true feelings instead of closing them off.
Tanaka: Tanaka has a innate attraction to shyer girls, like Suga. Although, that aspect doesnât really matter. Anyone whoâs willing to have a âbest-friendâ type of relationship with him and engage in his antics will do him well. Also, someone who isnât easily intimidated and can see past his rough exterior would make him SO HAPPY. He also really likes stereotypically âcuteâ people (but who isnât cute in Tanakaâs eyes lmao). He also wants someone he can care for/protect? He just wants to feel like a necessity in a relationship.
Nishinoya: Like Tanaka, Noya tends to fall for cute people and prefers a âbest friendâ type of relationship. He can also go two ways with a partner as well. Shyer people can benefit from him since heâs so loving and encouraging, and heâll enjoy the quiet moments and conversation they give him. And they can easily be attracted to him since he can be pretty introspective and observant too. But on the other hand, Noya can do just as well with someone similar to him. Yeah heâd be pretty loud/outgoing with this person, but all around itâs an adorable, supportive relationship.
Tsukishima: Idk if this is an unpopular opinion or not, but I donât see Tsukki falling for anyone very outgoing, unless they were more on the quiet side. Tsukishima would quickly find himself falling for someone with a strong mind (not necessarily smart? Just isnât easily manipulated and has good common sense) and quick wit, who genuinely cares about whatever they do and is honest. Someone materialistic or superficial would instantly make him dislike the person. Also someone with thick skin who doesnât mind some teasing coming their way from time to time would suit him.
Yamaguchi: This boyâŠIâm sure he could fall for pretty much anyone on the introvert/extrovert spectrum as long as they werenât overly extroverted or overly introverted (like âi wanna stay in the house all dayâ type of introvert). Someone with a sweet disposition would attract him immediately and could be tender towards him. Like Tsukishima, superficial people would drive him away. Heâs insecure about people liking him (since usually people want his friendâs number) so someone who would encourage him and give him validation would be great. Yamaguchi is a great inspiration as well, so someone dating him can expect to be encouraged by him too in their low moments.
I loved all of these and I think you nailed them perfectly!
a little known fact is that 75% of the reason i started this blog was that somewhere along the way, someone would ask me for this ballroom/latin!au. when i brought may on and we started talking to get to know each other, i found out she also loves dancing with the stars as much as i do. we knew we had to write this au or else weâd only screech to each other about it with no other outlet
if you like what i do and want to show your support, consider supporting me on ko-fi! money is tight right now, and i could use the help!

Heather Morrisâs rumba with Maks Chmerkovskiy is my inspiration for Ukaiâs and your dancing so definitely check it out. Itâs, like, pitch perfect, the chemistry is all there, I could go on. Iâd like to think that good songs for a rumba with him are Amy Winehouseâs slow-downed BBC Live Lounge version of âValerieâ or âCrystallizedâ by Young the Giant
The two of you have been partnered up since you were kids, and it shows. Thereâs just something so effortless in your dancing and your partnership. It makes even the most serious of dance styles look like fun.
Needless to say, it took a lot of work (and a little falling in love) to make that happen. Your personalities clashed a lot in the beginning, but something clicked after a particularly bad day in competition and things took a turn for the better from there.
Since he buzzed his hair in his youth, he never had to slick back his hair for competition. The headband he wears all the time now to push his hair back  is a sort of middle ground for that when heâs instructing.
The boys love it when Ukai calls you into help with classes. Partially because, hey, a pretty lady is coming to see them, but also because you can give their partners insight that theyâre more receptive to since youâre in their position
Plus, the demos from you two are either really hot helpful or lead to some hilarious bickering after
Has a soft spot for the Viennese waltz and foxtrot, even though heâs a latin guy himself. You often joke about him liking those standard dancesâas opposed to the tangoâbecause of his delinquent-like appearance.
(This is where I direct you to another dance from Maks Chmerkovskiy, but this time itâs his Viennese waltz with Meryl Davis because I have not shut up to May for days already about this being the perfect VWaltz for Ukai and his partner. I get really emotional about it)
His favorite outside of the ten dance styles in competition is the Argentine tango. Dancing in close embrace with you is just so romantic for him.
eeyyyyy so im busting out the other request i recently finished!
iâm probably gonna alternate posting the halloween requests and my other ones. i was blocked like, the whole of september so that sucked.
ANYWAY! i have a soft spot for these two dorks so i immediately jumped at the chance to write this one hahaha. itâs easier doing these with headcanons, so i went with that.
hope you guys like it!

FUTAKUCHI KEIJI
        TRYING TO GET
THEIR CRUSHâS ATTENTION
If his crush is in some way affiliated with the
volleyball club, heâd ask her to do ridiculous stuff in the name of âschool
spiritâ or âfor the promotion of the volleyball club, Y/N, come on,â so itâs
mostly teasing you.
If his crush is just a classmate or a school
mate, heâd actually do the same, but more timid.
Futakuchi feels like the type of guy who asks
his crushâs friends for what sheâs into and what sheâs not, or like, ask for
their class schedule and âcasuallyâ bumps into the at lunch time and be like,
âoh hey, so you have your lunch here too thatâs weird what a coincidence!!!â
Heâs especially flashy during matches where he
knows his crush is attending, like jumping extra high during the three-man
blocks (and thanking the coach for those jumping exercises he made all of them
do)
        REACTIONS TO
FINDING OUT THEIR CRUSH FEELS THE SAME
Internally, heâs like, exploding. His brain just
exploded because aRE YOU SERIOUS??? YOU LIKE HIM TOO??? WHAT ARE THE EFFING
CHANCES and he half-believes that your friend was just joking when they told
him
And after that he just goes full-on teasing you,
like seriously asking you on a date that one time and then he ended up
chickening out before you answered and told you it was a joke
Bruh, he was miserable after that and kept
hitting himself with a volleyball on the head for being an idiot
You were actually the one to confess because you
were getting tired of Futakuchi inviting you out on dates and chickening out
because he was scared you might decline
Needless to say, Futakuchi turned red as a
tomato after you left
TSUTOMU GOSHIKI
        TRYING TO GET
THEIR CRUSHâS ATTENTION
Him trying to get your attention is almost like
him trying to get Ushijimaâs attention tbh
But like. In a more excited and overt way
He would boldly come up to you, intending to
talk to you, but as soon as heâs standing in front of you he ends up
stuttering, and heâs so adorable???
There would be some talking, but heâs so stiff
and you feel kind of sorry for intimidating him, but at the same time youâre
wondering why???
If youâre affiliated with the club (like a
manager or for documentation or something) he would give it all of his all, if
you get what I mean, because he really wants to show off
Sometimes he ends up being told off by
Washijo-sensei, though
After games he would sometimes come up to you
and be all like, âDid you see that super straight I did??!??!?!! THAT WAS MY
BEST ONE YET!!!!!â and you find it so endearing because you know heâs doing his
very best in every game
        REACTIONS TO
FINDING OUT THEIR CRUSH FEELS THE SAME
His face would turn red, I mean, really red when he first finds out.
Spends a few days wondering if it was a joke and
often gets hit in the face with a ball because of it
Even went to Ushijima for adviceâand he felt so
uncomfortable through the whole exchange because Tendou was just sneering in
the cornerâbut Ushijima was just like, âConviction is important in becoming an
ace. If you donât have that in everyday life, then how can you hope to inspire
such in your team?â
Amazingly, Goshiki took his advice and finally
asked you out
He was stuttering like crazy and his face was so
warm you thought he had a fever, but you accepted, thank god
And when you did he stood comically still like a
statue for a minute, trying to process what you said, and when he finally
registered it, he almost fainted with relief
Precious beans!!! These are so cute, I love Ushijimaâs advice, very apt!
i LOVE corn mazes and i LOVE ukai. jade, girl, you are speaking my language. this is the last of my requests for the halloween event. thanks to everyone who submitted requests for the occasion!
if you like what i do and want to show your support, consider supporting me on ko-fi! money is tight right now, and i could use the help!

Ukai thinks himself a total hypocrite. Before entering this corn maze with the team, he made sure to instruct them all to stay together. Yet, here he was on his own with nothing but a dim flashlight in hand.
Only fifteen minutes or so into their journey in, something spooked the kids. He doesnât know exactly what, since he and Takeda trailed behind the pack. But out of nowhere someone screamed (probably Hinata) and sent the rest of the team already on edge into a scramble.
Except for Tsukishima, who seemed rather unphased by this. He only started running when Yamaguchi called out to him in fear that âitâs gonna get you!â, to which the tall blonde clicked his tongue and rolled his eyes before groaning, âFineâ and heading off.
âThose idiots,â Ukai grumbled.
âTheyâll be fine,â Takeda said. âThey all have maps of the maze with them.â
âWe should probably try to keep an eye on them, though. Iâd rather not deal with angry parents later.â
So he an Takeda split up. Not their brightest ideaâliterallyâas Ukaiâs flashlight now seems to dim and flicker more by the minute. He put in fresh batteries before leaving for the maze too. When the light cuts completely, he slaps it a few times to try and restore it, but to no avail.
After a string of muttered curses, he throws his head back. Now would be the perfect time to light a cigarette, but the last thing he wants to do is to accidentally set the place ablaze. Well, the only thing left to do is to try and find another group wandering through the maze to help him out. In the dark, he can barely make out the path before him nor the cornstalk boundaries; itâll be a slow process. Ukai sighs, lifts his arms up to out in front of him, and takes his first steps.
In honor of the birth of the lovely @setter-crush-central here
is a fluffy, romantic birthday scenario with Sugawara Koshi!
The ringing of your cell phone wakes you from a lovely
slumber, a groan pulling from your lips when you notice itâs still slightly
dark outside. Who in the world would call you this early? Picking up the phone,
itâs light so blinding youâre unable to see whoâs calling, you answer groggily,
âHello?â
âRise and shine beautiful,â Koshiâs way too chipper voice
says from the other end.
âKoshi, do you know what time it is?â you moan, rolling onto
your back.
âYep, itâs time for you to get up! You have exactly one hour to get ready before Iâm at your
house to steal you away, no matter your state of dress. So I suggest you get
moving!â
âYouâre such a brat,â you grumble but your tone is laced
with endearment, a smile on your face he can hear in your voice.
âYes, but you love me anyway,â he quips back. âNow hurry up,
Iâll see you in an hour.â He hangs up and you snort; he can be such a pest
sometimes but he isnât lying. You love him anyway.
Rolling out of bed, you stumble to the bathroom. As you dry
off from your shower, you realize you forgot to ask what you should be wearing
so you shoot a text to your boyfriend before turning on the hair dryer. A few
seconds later you receive a reply: Something
comfortable, most likely would be best to wear layers. T-minus thirty minutes!
Rolling your eyes, you shoot an emoji of the same expression
receiving one with its tongue stuck out in return that makes you laugh.
Hair dried, you pick out dark denim jeans, tennis shoes and
your favorite shirt, throwing over it a sweatshirt you stolen from Suga when
you first started dating. When you finish applying your makeup, you send
another text asking if you should eat breakfast before he arrives.
Of course not! What
kind of boyfriend would I be if I didnât make sure you were well nourished?
You shake your head, making your way to the kitchen to wait
for him. At preciously one hour since the time he called you there is a knock
at the door. Opening it you find your pretty (he hates that you call him that
but you do anyway because itâs true) boyfriend standing on your porch with a bouquet
of your favorite flowers and a backpack on his back.
Smiling, you take them, planting a kiss on his cheek. âThanks,â
you say before turning away to put them in a vase with water. That done, you
turn back to him. âSo, where to first?â
âFirst, food,â he answers, taking your hand and tugging you
towards the door.
âWait, I have to leave a note for my parents,â you say but
he shakes his head.
âI thought about taking you somewhere new, you know, because
itâs your birthday and all, but I figured it would be better to take you where
I know you love the food,â Suga says as he pulls out your chair. You sit down,
not even needing to look at the menu.
You both order your favorite breakfasts, then looking across
the table smile at each other.
âSo far so good,â you say playfully tapping the top of his
hand.
It doesnât take long for your food to arrive since youâre
the first customers of the day. You actually had no idea this place opened so
early. As your piping hot breakfast is set before you, your mouth waters.
Giving thanks for the food, you both dig in, chatting idly about everything and
nothing as you often do.
Once the meal is over and Suga has paid, he takes your hand
again. You love that he always holds your hand no matter where you are. At
school, on the train, watching a movie, his hand consistently seeks yours,
threading your fingers together and maintaining a firm grip.
Your second stop is atop of hill where Koshi pulls out a
blanket from his bag. Setting it down, he sits, motioning for you to follow.
Once you are seated, he scoots right up next to you, wrapping his arm around
your shoulders.
âAnd, here we go, in threeâŠtwoâŠone,â he says lowly. As he
ends, the sky begins to shift in color from light indigo to faded violet, then
pink, then orange. The sun crests the horizon, gold flashing across the
buildings of Torono Town, your vantage giving you a perfect view. You donât
realize youâve been holding your breath until your chest burns prompting you to
exhale. Itâs been so long since you saw a proper sunrise.
âYou light up my life,â Koshi says and you turn to look at
him, âeven in my darkest times youâve lit up my world with colors and beauty.â
âYouâre so cheesy,â you whisper but youâre blushing.
Nuzzling your nose, he murmurs back, âYou know you love it.â
The two of you turn your attention back to the scene before
you, Koshi with his arm still around you and your head on his shoulder. After a
few more minutes, he shifts and you look at him again.
âReady for the next surprise?â he asks and you nod.
Standing up, he extends his hand and helps you to your feet.
Packing up the blanket, he slings the bag onto his back before taking your
hand.
You walk together to the train station. After a couple hours,
you arrive in the Yamanashi Prefecture.
Koshi hurries you along, clearly excited to spring his
surprise. Rounding a corner, you see a bus.
âWhat are we doing?â you ask as you board, Koshi showing
tickets to the host.
âFruit picking and lunch at Kiyogato Kogen Hotel,â he
responds grinning.
You smile widely; this is something youâve never done before
and youâre thrilled he picked an activity that will give you the whole day
together experiencing something new.
The rest of the day is spent window shopping, fruit picking
and eating some of the most delicious food youâve ever tasted while meeting new
and fun people who are on the tour as well. Koshi is smiling his beautiful
smile the whole time, it getting bigger whenever he sees you really enjoying
yourself.
By the time you return to the train to go home, youâre full,
sleepy and happy. As you approach your door, you turn to face Koshi.
âThank you for a wonderful birthday,â you say and kiss him
lightly.
âItâs not over yet,â he whispers then throws open the front
door.
âSURPRISE!!!â
Inside are all of Karasunoâs volleyball team, including
Coach Ukai and Takeda-sensei along with your parents and a handful of your
other friends from school.
Looking at Koshi, your eyes wide, you splutter out, âHowâŠwhenâŠyouâŠâ
âWhat? Did you think youâd get away with just celebrating
with him?â Noya-san asks loudly.
âYeah, since when do we pass up an opportunity for fun and
food?â Tanaka pipes in with a laugh.
You grin wider, moving forward to greet each friend with a
large hug. Soon the party is in full swing, talking, laughing and more eating
taking place. Youâre surprised you have room for any more food, but your mom
made your favorites so you canât pass them up.
After all the presents are opened and the guests properly
seen on their way, you hug Koshi tightly, kissing him a bit longer. âThis has
been the best birthday ever,â you sigh.
âOne last thing,â he says reaching in his back pocket. Moving
his hand forward, he presents a long, thin box, wrapped with a red bow. Opening
it, you find a necklace with your birth stone hanging on it.
âOh Koshi, itâs beautiful,â you breathe out. He takes it
from your hand, turning you around so he can put it on you.
When you look back at him, he smiles. âNow itâs beautiful,â
he replies. Leaning forward he kisses you once more before saying, âSleep well
my love, Iâll see you at school on Monday. I love you.â
As you lay your head on your pillow, you fall asleep with a
smile on your face. Youâre so happy to be loved by so many people but you feel
luckiest to be loved by Koshi.
Like I said, fluff!!!! I hope you enjoyed it and that you
have a super awesome birthday!! Also, I got the idea of the date when looking
for romantic things to do in Japan. Here is the link to the site I found with a
description of the outing.
