Ohhhh I'm so scared of fem Tamaki with piercings uhhhh it'd be so bad if she showed up in my dreams or maybe my doorstep UHHHHH
Made these while I was bored lmao (mainly Tamaki)
Been thinking about writing a fic for 7E staff Tamaki who slowwlyy catches feelings for a college student reader who happens to be a regular there,,,
Happy birthday to my beloved Tamaki âĄ
Little extras:
Thinking about Tama who wears glasses and has his hair tied up into a messy ponytail,,,,, oh oh and ear piercings wowwiee đ«Ł
hi this is rly random and idk how big the tamamiri/miritama fandom is on here BUT i had a small thought (not thought out at all so feel free to contradict me đ) ALSO THE WRITING IS GONNA BE TERRIBLE. So Sorry
ANYWHO, i feel like tamaki would actually be a living heater, and mirio would be the super cold one. for starters i based this mostly off of mirio bc since mirios quirk allows him to phase through EVRYTHING so i feel like while/after using it he'd be cold and almost empty feeling since i feel like his body heat would dissipate the more he uses it.. so hes just constantly cold due to his quirk.. bc if i remember correctly, i recall he can't even use his senses when phasing his whole body, so id imagine all of his atoms just go thru ljteraly everything, including heat, so he feels rly cold after... and since tamakis quirk is based off eating (even though its usually small portions) i feel like that energy would go towards producing more heat to keep him well insulated especially considering what type of food he is eating (for example bear or smth since they have thick coats) BUT IDK also sorry again for thw shitty writing i literally js thought of this out of nowhere..
" If I cannot be wanted..."
"...Then I will be needed."
"And if I can't be needed..."
"Let me be used until there's nothing left of me."

Itâs him.Â
Your eyes meet his and you remember it all.The folds of his school uniform from years ago. His blonde hair in the wind as he blasts his way through the air, racing to be the first pro-hero on site. He stands there, watching you go through the motions. Watching you unsure of yourself, palm over your heart as it aches for him. You step forward, not sure if youâre making the choice to walk towards him or if your heart is still the one in control.Â
He watches with a careful expression, as if heâs known for years that heâs been the one. He watches as if heâs been waiting. Waiting for your eyes, once clouded, to look into his vermilion ones and see for yourself who he is.Â
Katsuki, your voice is barely above a whisper and thereâs tears starting to sprout from your eyes.Â
His eyebrows furrow, as if he canât tell if youâre relieved or questioning the weight of his name on your tongue.Â
You hold out your hand, outstretched fingers aching to brush his skin.Â
You okay?Â
The palms of his hands are warm as they hold yours, and for the first time in forever,you tell the truth.Â
-(-)-
The room is still dark despite the streaks of light filtering through the blinds. Your mind is foggy, the remnants of your dream withering away with each second. You blink back tears, unsure of what it was you were dreaming about now that youâve started to wake up. Still half asleep, you mistake the man in your arms for blankets and pillows until he starts to stir awake. For a brief second, a scary moment, you forget who he is and why heâs in your bed.Â
âTamaki,â you whisper. You didnât mean to say this out loud yet he groans in reply, mistaking your answer to your own question for a greeting. âGâmorning.â
âMm,â he hums. Your arms squeeze tight around his shoulders and now that your eyes have adjusted to the dark, you can finally make out his indigo bedhead against your pillows. âMorninâ.â
You smile, ignoring the strange sadness settling inside your belly. âWhen did you get in? You were still working when I went to bed last night.â
Tamaki doesnât answer for a moment and you think heâs fallen asleep until he turns onto his back. People mistake him for being thin, wiry. Yet you can feel the ropes of muscle in his arms as he pulls you in close by your waist, you can feel his broad chest and his stocky build against your soft curves. His quirk revolves around food and heâs a damn good pro-hero, a prospective top 10 hero this year, of course he ainât skinny.Â
âThree,â he replies. âStay in bed.â
âThe Clash is in full swing, Tama.â You joke but you curl into his warmth nonetheless, allowing yourself the few minutes of peace before you go into work. âThe Clashâ, meaning your conflicting schedules, happens at least three times a year. A few weeks of one of you having graveyard shifts while the other keeps to the normal day-time shifts for a pro-hero. He sleepily groans again, yet Tamaki loosens his arms around you.Â
âWhenâs your shift done?â His words slur, and it takes you a moment to comprehend his question before you answer.Â
âIâll be going in by then,â Tamaki sighs.
You kiss his jaw, soft and clean shaven. He still shaved after his graveyard shift last night, knowing that you prefer the feeling of his skin smooth over the prickle of a five oâclock shadow, AM or otherwise.Â
âShouldâve gone to my agency instead of staying with Fatgum,â you tease. Tamaki never wouldâve changed agencies, and he reaffirms that with a displeased hum. A soft giggle slips out from your lips and you roll your eyes.Â
Your agencies arenât that far apart, yet itâs clear that Fatgumâs is far superior than the one youâve started at a few weeks ago. Your manager nearly quit on you when you transferred, ignoring her pleas to move somewhere thatâll help you climb the ranks instead of plateau. You waved off the questions people threw, ignoring their confusion as to why youâd ever leave such a high ranking angeny for a⊠mediocre one. He doesnât put up much of a fight when you start to peel away from him, stuffing his face into your pillows as you fumble around the room. The apartment is quiet when you slip on your running shoes, you sling your work bag over your shoulders before you give one last quiet goodbye to your fiancĂ©.Â
-(-)-
Thereâs a nagging feeling that youâve forgotten something. All day you couldnât shake it. All day your fingers drummed against every desk and flat surface, you bounced your legs on the balls of your feet until your coworkers threw heated glares in your direction. You ignore them now, you ignore their exasperated sighs as you continue to bounce your leg while you type away your paperwork. You chew the inside of your cheek, resting your chin in your hand as you scroll through the file one last time before submitting it for review. These arrests wonât help your rank, it wonât make you popular, they wonât even make it to the front page of the Esuha Daily News let alone the fourteenth page. But itâs a good day.Â
Youâve made good arrests today, all without casualty. You even meal planned your fucking lunch. So why the hell are you on edge?Â
Of course your arrests didnât have casualties though, they didnât even have injuries. You barely used your quirk today.Â
Did you even use your quirk today?Â
The highest activity your watch took track of was when you took a light jog back to your agency building after capturing a runaway purse snatcher. In fact, that was the first and only time you had to use your quirk. He thought running sporadically would throw you off your balance, and maybe it wouldâve for a low ranking hero. In a split second you activated your quirk and he teleported right into your arms instead of turning the corner like he had planned. Youâve been working on this trick for months, teleporting objects or people in your place but catching them halfway. Meeting them in the middle. In seconds he was in handcuffs and you left it to the police to get him into custody. You jogged back to work for lunch.Â
The inside of your cheek starts to bleed as anxiety gnaws inside you. Whatever it was that you had forgotten, is probably gone forever. Irritated at the realization, you sigh and decide to burn off this extra energy with a walk around the building. Tamaki is probably getting dressed by now, stuffing his hero costume into his work bag right from the dryer. Heâs got a terrible habit of not folding his clothes, you both do. Itâs why you invested in a wrinkle releaser spray, and you hope heâs remembered it for tonightâs shift. Civilians recognize you still, you canât help a sense of pride and relief when their eyes brighten at the sight of you. A child stops you from your anxiety-ridden walk for a quick autograph, begging you to show them your teleportation quirk before their parent bashfully drags them away.Â
Your hands twitch, begging to be useful and aching to be used again. You turn the opposite away and head back to the agency.Â
-(-)-
I cooked u dinner!, you text Tamaki, donât forget it. itâll help ur shift tonight :P
Your head bowed low as you stroll down the block, your shift just ending according to the time in your phone. Itâs why you donât see him, itâs why you feel the split second heat of his body prickles against you before you activate your quirk to avoid further disaster. He stumbles in your previous spot, his cheeks pale from nausea as he leans forward (usual symptoms of being teleported without warning).Â
âWatch where youâre fucking going,â he spits out before straightening up. An eerie sense of dejavĂș washes over you as you stare back at Dynamight. His eyes havenât been painted with eyeliner yet, and heâs carrying a gym bag over his shoulders thatâs most likely holding his costume.Â
âRight- sorry.â You let out a laugh, not sure why youâre feeling flustered. You have work to finish before going home, a few more files to mark as âimportantâ even though theyâre technically insignificant. You have a home to go to. But his eyes are still on you. And you canât look away. Youâve forgotten something today, and itâs nagging at you even more now than ever.Â
His eyebrows furrow and he watches you carefully as your thoughts race. âShadow Step,â he greets you curtly.Â
âDynamight,â you nod and give him a polite smile. Your eyes cut to the athletic compression band on his left arm, surprised to even see a kind that begins from your shoulder and ends at your fingertips. âAre you going into a shift or coming from one?â
Bakugou looks you up and down for a moment before answering, âComing from one.â Thereâs an awkward pause before he clears his throat. âYou look like youâve got a long night ahead of ya.â Yeah because you havenât fucking done anything all day and youâre bored . Â
âShift just ended actually,â you smile and look behind him towards the agency building.Â
âYou okay?â Bakugouâs words snap your attention back to him, that feeling of dejavĂș even stronger now.Â
You both stare for a moment; you, deciding on telling the truth, and him patiently waiting for you to answer or just move along.Â
âYeah,â you lie. You hurry back inside the building before he can reply. He used to call me Bambi , you distantly remember. You donât know why your heart is still racing after seeing him again.Â
-(-)-
For the next week, it keeps happening.
You wake up with either tears in your eyes or the ghosts of oneâs still on your cheeks. Yet whatever you dreamt of is long gone, no matter how much you try to cling to the memories. Until one morning it lingers, the feeling of his hair between your fingers and the warmth of his body against yours. The smell of caramel.Â
The realization settles slowly, until the weight of guilt is heavy against your bones.Â
âFuck,â you mutter. Out of fear, you reach behind you only to feel a cold empty bed beside you. Thatâs right, Tamaki is on a plane to China for a mission. Heâs not going to be back for another week. You stuff your face into the soft blankets, hoping that the smell of home will dampen the heavy caramel still filtering in your mind.Â
Youâve never even had a real conversation with Bakugou since⊠ever. With the exception of last week when you inexplicably ran into him, you always saw him in passing from your years at UA. Neither of you had spoken much, maybe paired against each otherâs classes for training but other than thatâŠÂ
Today is your day off, you give yourself the luxury of staying in bed for just a little bit longer. The warmth in your chest from your dream is finally lifting, leaving you to breathe once again.Â
It meant nothing. Just a random dream.Â
But as your day continues, you canât get rid of the thought of him.Â
Why werenât you guys ever friends? Maybe because he was a major asshole who looked down at everyone like they were a piece of shit.
You snort, shaking the very idea out of your head until a memory springs forth.
Cherry blossoms were floating in the air and the weather just started to turn warmer. It was your third year, the excitement of graduating buzzed through all your classmates and it meant that you all had trouble concentrating on courses. You had gotten in trouble for doodling during the fire quirk safety course, and was forced to stay behind to clean the classroom all by yourself before heading back to your dorms.Â
You bumped into Katsuki right after, both of you stunned that another student was still around the school so late that neither of you said a word just yet.Â
âGod, Bambi, youâd think that with your stupid quirk you wouldnât bump into anyone,â he rolls his eyes.Â
âFuck, Iâm sorry-! Bambi?â You instantly retract your apology, glaring as he brushes you off.Â
âYeah, Bambi. Baby deer who can barely fucking walk?â His stupid smirk makes you see red, especially when he starts to step away from you. IÂ nstead of his heavy boot meeting the ground, his face does instead when you activate your quirk. The checkered tiles donât match now since youâve switched their spots, but youâre cackling too loudly to care. Just as you try to leave, Katsukiâs hand grabs your ankle and trips you. Itâs too quick for you to even think to use your quirk, and the smack of the tile stings.Â
âWhat the- fuck you!â You turn and snarl, his annoying little sneering frustrates you more.Â
âRelax, tit for tat.â Bakugou towers over you, the same hand that tripped you is now offered to help you stand. Reluctantly you take it.Â
You both help pick up the otherâs things, his papers that flew with perfect grades and messy drawings on the tests that you finished early on. Itâs quiet between you both. To be honest you were feeling awkward, wondering if maybe you are just a lowly piece of shit as you stare at Bakugouâs perfect marks. You glance at him, not wanting him to catch you marveling at how absolutely genius he is, and find him with one of your essays in his hands. His thumb traces over a messy sketch of a face, the angles harsh and the eyes sharp, but the rest was a blur.Â
âSoulmate?â He grumbles, his red eyes looking up at yours and you feel your insides freeze at being caught.Â
âUh, no. I donât think so. I donât think I have one,â you mumble and take the essay from him. Morbid curiosity takes over and you ask him the same.Â
âYes,â his answer surprises you. Something in your belly flips, not wanting to know why exactly that upsets you.Â
You didnât expect him to have one, not with his attitude and ego. It shouldn't be surprising that he has one, itâs rare for someone to be like you: one without a soulmate. Fated to be alone. By the age of five, right around the time a child has gotten their quirk, they start to dream of their soulmate. Youâve heard of soulmates meeting in sleep, talking and laughing and holding each other in dreams. Waking up knowing theyâre out there, remembering every detail of them.  You didnât get these dreams. Maybe you saw people, indistinct faces. But everyone did.Â
âBut how do you know they're your soulmate and not just a random person your brain made up? How do you know itâs not just chemicals?â
Your friends shrugged, a dopey smile on their faces as they imagined their future partners, âYou just do.â
That wasnât helpful.Â
âOh,â you replied. âCongrats.â You wanted to reach out and fix his tie and a part of you yearned to run your hands through his hair and see if it truly feels as soft as it looks. Instead you stuffed your papers into your bookbag and stood, muttering an apology for tripping him.Â
Bakugou looks at you and nods, âItâs fine. I was being a dick.â The sun setting outside streamed through the glass wall and washed over his cheeks, his eyes are rubies in the sunlight. âSee ya around, Bambi.â
You nodded, turning away before he could first.Â
Almost immediately, the feeling of warmth in your chest turns to guilt. A chill runs down your spine, prickling your skin with discomfort. It doesnât matter. None of it matters.Â
Youâre engaged. He has a soulmate.Â
None of it matters. Youâre happy.Â
Youâre happy. Youâre happy. Youâre happy. Youâre happy.Â
You mutter this to yourself all day. You tap the words onto your lips with your pen as you fill out endless paperwork. Today you avoid going out on patrol, not wanting to bump into him again. Nearly every time youâve gone on patrol, you see Katsuki,- Bakugou,- Dynamite . The screams of children as they swarm towards him would catch your attention, and of course the moment you glance towards the commotion you meet his gaze. Time stands still for just a millisecond, and the vague feeling you woke up with that moment would come back like dejavu. Or youâre getting lunch, rushing towards the food stand with the older auntie who loves to squeeze your cheeks and demand you eat more, when the smell of sugar lingers for a moment before disappearing. You hate how your heart races at the smell of sugar burning, you hate that you think of his soft blond hair and his eyes, only to see the treats being sold to the families passing through. All of your shifts are so sleepy, so goddamn boring, that you never noticed the stands selling sweets like American brittle or caramel dipped apples until now.
Caramel follows you everywhere now. Or maybe itâs always been there and you just havenât noticed. So you decide to stay inside the office, at least until Tamaki gets back from his mission and you can feel like yourself again.Â
Iâm happy. Iâm happy. Iâm happy.Â
You stare at the photo of Tamaki and you on your desk, doing everything you can to ignore the ghost smell of caramel determined to linger around you.Â
-(-)-
You train harder at night. You do everything to avoid sleeping and if you do pass out, you hope to not dream. You canât take it, seeing him instead of Tamaki. As you go through the motions of hitting the punching bag, ignoring the way your body screams for you to take a break, you nearly miss Tamakiâs call.Â
âI havenât heard from you,â his voice makes your chest tighten with guilt. âHow was your day?â
The same. Itâs always the same. You walk and catch the occasional kid who tries to steal a phone. You sit in your office and do the mind numbing paperwork that follows. Rinse. Repeat.Â
Itâs always the same. You hardly use your quirk, you hardly use the special moves you worked so hard on back in your high school days.Â
You go home to an empty apartment and an empty bed, left wondering why the hell you arenât doing more. You go home and eat a dinner you always make for yourself and wish for once that someone else can just do it for you. You lie in bed, staring at the ceiling, still brimming with energy and pent up rage, wondering why you are here. Longing for a home that doesnât exist.Â
âIt was fine,â you chug water in between breaths, the muscles in your arms quivering as you finally take a break.Â
âThatâs nice,â his voice is sweet. You hate how annoyed youâre starting to feel about how compliant he is. Thereâs a long silence and you wonder when you both got so comfortable.Â
When did you get so comfortable? When did you stop trying? Why did you decide to settle for less?
That thought stops you cold. Settle for less? Did you mean your career or⊠Tamaki wasnât less. Heâs a good man, a brave hero, a loving partner. He took care of you. He takes care of you.
Heâs never pushed you.Â
You both never fought, you were both so compliant.Â
But he loves you.Â
âI love you,â you say.Â
Tamaki keens out a shy noise, still not used to your affection even after all your years together and you smile. âI love you too.â
âI want to leave my agency,â you blurt out. âI hate it. Itâs so boring.â Everything spills, the way you feel so useless each day, your dreams of being the best being swept away by his shadow, you tell Tamaki everything. Leaving out the smell of caramel that haunts you each morning.Â
Tamaki is quiet for a moment before responding, âWe have a position.â
âYou do?â You sit on the gym mat, wondering why you ever doubted your faithful fiancĂ©, your ecstatic laughter rings through the training center.Â
âYes,â Tamaki joins in on your laughter. âYouâd have to start as a sidekick, really just think of it as the transition period before we get you to debut as a pro hero. But-,âÂ
You can hear your blood rushing through your ear drums, flooding out whatever else Tamaki is saying. Start over? Can you do that, start from the beginning and rise up?Â
âWe can even work together, itâd be- God, thatâd be fantastic. I can see you more-,â Tamaki is getting excited, but all you can think of is how once again, youâll just be overshadowed by the Suneater himself. You wonder if he can hear how hollow your voice sounds, when you tell him how great thatâll be.Â
A few days after the phone call at the training center, Tamaki tells you that his mission was extended and he wonât be home until the end of the month. You canât sleep hours later after you told him goodnight, and decide to go on a run. The sound of your feet hitting the pavement helps drown out your thoughts. Lately youâve been so preoccupied with transferring agencies as soon as Tamaki gets home, that youâve almost forgotten your soulmate dilemma.Â
Almost.Â
You run faster to avoid thinking about it, about him.  Youâre totally not thinking about him, and youâre doing an excellent job not thinking about him that you run into the asshole.Â
âFuck,â you barely feel the scrape on your knee before activating your quirk to save yourself. âSorry, I-â
âYouâd think that with your quirk, you wouldnât bump into anyone, Bambi.â This time, itâs amusement and not annoyance that he says this sentence to you for a second time in your life. Kat- Dynamite holds out his hand, looking down at you with a faint smirk as you graciously take it. You activate it again, switching places so that youâre looking down at him instead.Â
âYouâd think that with your attitude youâd be at the bottom of the popularity poll.â Thereâs no malice in your tone, and instead you find yourselves smiling at the other. You help him up easily before cleaning off yourself.Â
âYouâre stronger than you look,â Bakugou compliments. Many thought that, and even had said that to you, and while most times it irks you, this time you feel pride.Â
âIâve been training.â You stand taller.Â
âIâve noticed.â Itâs dark, but you swear the tips of his ears start to go red.Â
âYeah?â You smile, and if anyone wouldâve called it out, they might call it flirty. âDidnât realize youâve been watching.â
âShaddup,â He laughs and crosses his arms, one still clad in the compression sleeve, the ropes of muscle more prominent in his chest and biceps. âEveryone has been noticing.â
âReally,â you cross your arms and grin. âEveryone?âÂ
âEver since Elf Ears fucked off on his mission, everyone has noticed you been trolling for night shifts.â Heâs right of course, not that youâd freely admit to him. Your restless energy has boiled over and youâve been picking up more shifts. Shamefully youâve felt free.Â
âNot tonight, though.â Tap your shoes against the sidewalk, ready to run. Whatever confidence you had in front of him is fading quickly, and your head is dizzy with the scent of caramel and musk wafting from him.Â
âNo.â Bakugou agrees, watching you carefully. âNot tonight.â
Electricity pulses through the space between you both, and you decide itâs time to end this interaction.Â
âYou okay?â He asks again. The familiar pangs of distress and love floods into your chest and guilt starts to sting you at your core.Â
Yes. âNo.âÂ
âMy shift just ended,â Bakugou says nonchalantly, shrugging. âWant to get a drink?â
No . âYes.âÂ
-(-)-
Drinks didnât mean what you thought. You and Bakugou walked down the lamp lit streets in silence. A third person could walk between you both, you thought to yourself. You made sure to not pay any attention to his frame, you tried your best to not compare him to your fiancĂ©. All day you havenât heard from Tamaki, not that you expected him to contact you during a mission. But as you and Katsuki walk to get drinks, you realize itâs the first time in months that you havenât been riddled with anxiety over your partner.Â
âThis isnât a bar,â you step through the tea shop and give Katsuki a passing look.Â
âNever said it was, Bambi.â Your heart flutters at the nickname, yet you donât give any of it away as you look around the tea shop. His eyes watch you taking it in, the decor thatâs been outdated for about thirty years already and the countless porcelain tea cups being reflected by the hanging lights. âPick a cup, then pick a tea.â Katsuki grabs a ceramic yunomi painted with the colors of a sunset. You bite back a smile, remembering how much he favored the color orange back in school. Not much has changed.Â
âHĆchija, please.â He sets his cup down and gives a polite nod to the younger boy behind the wooden counter.Â
Your eyes scan across the once white now faded yellow menu, âMay I get the sencha please?âÂ
Itâs quiet aside from the music playing the top 100 over the speakers, and then both of you take a seat at the bar. The younger barista hums while measuring out the dried tea leaves, the two of you doing your best to ignore the warmth from your shoulders touching lightly. A few minutes pass and your yunomi is handed back filled with hot tea, itâs heat spreads across the palm of your hand and you ignore the way it stings. Itâs delicious.Â
âThis is amazing,â you give a smile to your barista and he bows his head with a shy smile. âHow did you hear about this place?â
Bakugou sets his tea back down and you catch the smell of charcoal, vaguely you wonder if itâs the remnants of his shift and you inch closer. âMy pops would take me here,â Katsukiâs voice is low and you lean in to catch his words. âItâs the only damned place that we went to that didnât involve someone screaming at each other. He told me once, âKatsuki-chan every cup you drink is one drink closer, I hope, to calming the fuck down.ââ Your snort is sudden and loud, and while you struggle to keep your laughter down, you miss the way Katsuki smiles at you before taking another sip of his tea.Â
âDid it work?â You smile at him, not wanting to think about your chest warming and deciding itâs from the tea.Â
âI think so.â He answers truthfully, this time he glares when you laugh. âWhat?â Bakugou sets his tea cup down almost too roughly on the wooden counter, and you notice the same compression band on his left arm still.Â
Shaking your head and holding your hands up to your defense, you giggle. âThe amount of articles Iâve read of the âGreat Dynamite Heroâ-,â your fingers mine the air quotes, â-having his blowouts. Itâs hilarious.â
âDidnât realize you were keeping track of me.â Your eyes look up and find that his are already tracing your features, the curve of your jaw and the tip of your nose. How long have you been this close to him? Close enough to see that he hasnât slept in a while and close enough to briefly wonder if his lips would taste like burned sugar too.Â
âI havenât been. Youâre usually on the front page,â your voice wobbles and you shift farther from him. âTamaki and I like to read the paper together.â At the sound of your fiancĂ©âs name, Bakugou gives a slight nod and shifts back too. Your fingers ghost over your ring. You catch him looking at the silver band briefly. Subconsciously you wish you havenât said anything at all, and you swipe your thumb over your ring.Â
The conversation dies, and when Bakugou pays, you go home to try and sleep.Â
-(-)-
âWhat happened to your soulmate?â You ask Tamaki, who has gotten back from his trip now, over breakfast.  You watch his face wince, the pain of her loss still stinging even after decades. Shame takes its place quickly over the jealousy you feel for him, to have someone you love so much that every piece of you belongs to them and them you.Â
âShe⊠died. In a car accident.â Tamaki picks at his pancakes, doused in maple syrup. âWhen we were five.â
Shame burns hotter for you now. âThat young?â Tamaki nods, taking a bite of the breakfast he made for you both. âYou mustâve barely met her by that point.âÂ
He smiles sadly, âShe used to be in my class with Mirio and I. At first, I thought I was just having dreams about school. I used to beg my parents to not send me to bed, I would get hives just thinking about school being in my dreams again.â
âHow did you know she was your soulmate?â You think back to all the times in your life that youâve asked this question. To your partners over the years who didnât have their soulmates anymore or tried to cheat the system. The friends you had who swore to be single but fate gave them an emptiness to be filled by their love.Â
And now him. When you and Tamaki started dating, you had the talk with him. The talk you had with everyone. You donât have a soulmate. You wonât be fatefully theirs, they wonât be yours. If you have an assigned soulmate, please donât waste my time.  The way he looked when you said this, the immensable sadness that washed over his features before giving you a small smile. His words were simple, enough to end the topic and enough to scare you from asking more. Well, good thing I donât have a soulmate anymore.Â
âWe talked for hours in our dreams,â he sighs at the memory. âI learned things about her that I couldnât have known if I didn't actually talk to her, so it was pretty much solid. Mirio didnât meet his soulmate in real life until after high school, they both decided to wait and then exchange numbers. He couldnât stop jumping and cheering when he heard their voice on the receiver,â Tamaki laughs and looks back at you with a melancholy smile. âYou also just know. Itâs like suddenly, your body just isnât yours. It feels like youâre being pulled to them and as much as you want to escape, you canât run. You donât want to.â
âWhat was her name?â
He pauses. âShinju.â Thereâs a softness in his voice you havenât heard before, and you wonder what Tamakiâs life wouldâve been like if his soulmate hadnât died. Maybe theyâd even be heroes together, fighting villains side by side with an unspeakable bond that no one could penetrate. He wouldnât have a partner who would settle for less out of fear of being let go for someone else. He wouldnât have someone who is a shell of who they are, destined to-
Destined for what?Â
You donât know what destiny has for you anymore. Before you were destined to be alone. But now Katuski appears in your dreams, sitting under fruit trees that you always wanted to have in your backyard, never facing you. Or he's by the ocean with waves softly crashing in front of him, warm sand underneath you both.
Before, you accepted that you would be alone. You refused for anyone to tell you that you must feel empty inside, for how else can anyone live without a beloved fucking soulmate? You told them to go fuck themselves, you proved them wrong by becoming a pro-hero despite having no natural goddamn cheerleader and you did it with a beaming ass smile and the ego that weighed more than what All Might could bench.Â
You were fine. You were happy.Â
Until you made yourself small.Â
You arenât empty inside. Youâve made yourself small.Â
Tamaki was dreamy, he was shy and dreamy and sweet and romantic in all of his awkward ways. You allowed your light to be diminished under his shadow.Â
Because eventually, all those people pitying you for being so alone, got to you. Youâre human after all, isnât it normal to feel melancholy when you see a couple laughing and holding hands? Isnât it normal to wish to have someone love all of you, imperfections included? Isnât it normal to want to have somebody be there for you? Isnât it normal to not want to go to bed and wonder what it is like to have someone hold you? You werenât as tough as you thought. You felt like you let down those people you met in forums for those without soulmates, the civilians and heroes who never was bestowed a soulmate who said âFuck them, Iâm my own personâ and never even wanted to date. They were complete because they had family, friends, a career, sexy one night stands. They could rely on themselves and no one else.Â
You donât know where you fall anymore.Â

Ok, eu preciso falar.
Em minha opiniĂŁo, esta Ă© uma das capas que mais lindas que eu jĂĄ fiz, e ver essas ediçÔes me fazem refletir o quanto eu estou melhorando a cada edição que faço e o quanto de carinho que estou colocando em cada uma delas.Â
MiriTama é um ship que me faz olhar com carinho, pois ver que esses dois com um sentimento de companheirismo, amizade e amor que eles tem um pelo outro desde que eram crianças, me faz crer que o amor existe e que ele não é tão ruim quanto jå pareceu para mim.
E com sinceridade, espero que a Veres goste dessa capa tanto quanto eu gostei, eu simplesmente me apaixonei.
Esta capa foi feita para a fanfic âWinter and Summer do not Mixâ escrita por Veres para o projeto âProHero_Projâ.
