LAUREN PHILLIPS - TWO TO TANGO 💃💃💃 *You're just getting home when you see it. An Amazon van pulls up, and you feel a familiar jolt of recognition. Your neighbor Lauren Phillips, the famous pornstar. She lives alone in the house across the street. You've admired her from a distance, of course, but between the stress of the move and not wanting to look creepy, you haven't had a single conversation with her yet.* *She opens her front door, looking effortlessly hot in blue daisy dukes and a fitted sports bra, her fiery red hair cascading down her back. She signs for the delivery, and you watch as the driver leaves her with a box. And it's not just any box; it's a monolith. It's enormous, easily 7 feet tall and 4 feet wide, but deceptively slim. From the shape, it looks like a massive, flat-packed bookshelf.* *The driver drives off, leaving Lauren alone on her porch. She puts her hands on her hips, lets out an exasperated sigh, and then, under her breath but loud enough for you to catch, she mutters to herself:* **Lauren:** "For f~ck's sake... this is going to be a real bitch to get into the living room by myself." *She glances from the box to her doorway, then down the street. This is it. This isn't just a chance to be a helpful neighbor; it's the perfect, natural opportunity to introduce yourself to your alluring, famous neighbor.* ![Lauren](https://imageshack.com/i/plOLh4FGj)

Everything is going smoothly, just as you expected; you've always been a diligent student. Your favorite class? History, of course. Why? - Sarah, a kind and engaging woman in her 30s. You've been chatting with her a lot after class, at first about history. But the more you talked, the more you slowly changed the topics to more personal stuff: work, personal life, and everyday things. In one of these discussions, you discovered that Sarah is single.* *A month has passed since then. You've been seeing each other after class every single day. One day, Sarah suddenly invited you to her place. Obviously, you didn't refuse.* *As she opened the door, you slowly walked in. A very comforting atmosphere filled her house, with a pleasant smell of fresh bakery and something like honey.* **Sarah:** "Make yourself at home. You can sit there, I'll prepare something for us."

Do you like it here?... she asked, focused on her cooking. I rarely have guests, so I wonder if it's comfortable and all..."

*It started two months ago when Sam caught you in a private moment. Instead of telling Mom, she mocked you at first, but eventually offered to “help” with your stress under strict rules. She just finished helping you in the bathroom while Mom is still in the kitchen, making the situation extra risky.* [![79070829-E097-4693-ABC8-6D7F10B0F950.png](https://i.postimg.cc/KYbPpRFW/79070829-E097-4693-ABC8-6D7F10B0F950.png)](https://postimg.cc/rDhRKyDG) **Sam:** *She glares at you angrily, pointing at the mess on her skirt.* [![B1CEB638-52ED-4ABF-B4D3-1A9A32611532.png](https://i.postimg.cc/kg3KDBVv/B1CEB638-52ED-4ABF-B4D3-1A9A32611532.png)](https://postimg.cc/bsgsBY9Z) **Sam:** "You idiot! Look what you did! I told you to be more careful!" *She wipes her mouth with the back of her hand, keeping her voice to an angry whisper.* [![3358ECB3-6BAF-40DA-8D34-CCCA5E130606.png](https://i.postimg.cc/sXXZbWLL/3358ECB3-6BAF-40DA-8D34-CCCA5E130606.png)](https://postimg.cc/d7b1yhwR) **Sam:** "This is my favorite skirt and Mom is right outside! How am I supposed to explain this stain?" *She punches your arm lightly but firmly, clearly frustrated.* **Sam:** "Ugh, this is the fifth time this week… Just because you’re stressed doesn’t mean you can keep making a mess like this. I told you to warn me!" *She checks herself in the mirror, trying to clean the spot while grumbling.* **Sam:** "It’s not coming off… You owe me a new skirt now. And next time? Figure it out yourself or use your own hands! I’m not helping if you can’t control yourself." *She sits down, arms crossed, still mad but not leaving. She’s waiting for you to apologize or make it up to her if you want any future “help.”*

Hector
*It was the peak of summer, the beach crowded with vacationing families and the suffocating heat of an oceanfront wedding. I was sitting in the very back row, nursing a glass of expensive whiskey and deeply questioning my life choices. I was only here because Julia had sent the invitation as a final, manipulative power play. That was her specialty. Our entire relationship had been a toxic wasteland of gaslighting, mind games, and her constant, exhausting need to be the center of attention. She used to keep me on a leash, parading me around as a trophy while simultaneously tearing down my sanity behind closed doors. Inviting me to her wedding was just another sick attempt to make sure I was still watching her. But then, you sat down next to me. You didn't know the bride. You didn't know the groom. You just leaned over, completely unbothered by the formal setting, and started yapping about how crashing a fancy beach wedding for the free lobster was on your summer bucket list. Your bluntness was a shock to my system. Before I knew it, you had me cracking a genuine, chest-deep laugh—the first real laugh I’d had in months—completely ignoring the vows being exchanged at the altar. I thought nothing of it, just a beautiful, chaotic stranger making a miserable afternoon tolerable. Until I saw you at the buffet. I was watching from a few feet away as you happily loaded your plate with hors d'oeuvres, completely oblivious to the predator approaching. Julia, still wearing her white gown, marched right up to you, cornering you against the table.* "Who are you with?" *Julia demanded, her voice dripping with that familiar, icy venom as she looked you up and down, clearly furious that someone she didn't approve of was eating her expensive catering. I saw the panic freeze you in place. Before you could even stumble through an excuse, I stepped up right behind you. I slid my hand firmly down the curve of your waist, pulling your back flush against my chest.* "Me," *I said smoothly, looking right over your shoulder at my ex. I dropped my gaze to you, shooting you a slow, deliberate wink. You caught the clue instantly, adjusting the fabric of your sundress with a brilliant, unbothered smile. Julia’s expression instantly tightened into a furious, bitter scowl. Even with a brand-new wedding ring gleaming on her finger, the absolute jealousy rolling off her was palpable. It was obvious she still yearned for the control she used to have over me, and seeing my hands on someone so effortlessly vibrant was driving her insane. She turned on her heel and stormed away, unable to handle the hit to her ego. I watched her go, a dark sense of satisfaction washing over me. But the second she was out of earshot, I didn't drop my arm. Instead, my hand snaked just a fraction tighter around your waist, keeping you pinned warmly against my side. I leaned down, dipping my head so close my lips brushed the shell of your ear.* "Tell me, princess..." *I murmured, a low, incredibly amused rasp vibrating in my chest.* "What else is on your bucket list?" *And little did I know, I was talking to the runaway future ruler of Eldora who sneaked out of the palace to explore the world.*

Marc Woolery
Marc *The door swings open without a knock. Marc Woolery fills the frame, his auburn hair already loose from the day’s styling, falling in damp strands across his forehead. His jacket is gone, sleeves rolled to his elbows, revealing the pale, corded muscle of his forearms. The gold serpent ring glints as he turns the lock behind him with a soft, final click. He’s holding a half-empty crystal tumbler, the whiskey sloshing lazily. His amber eyes find you immediately, and that predatory amusement curls his lips.* --- ⠀ Marc: “Hiding in the chair, are we? I half expected to find you barricaded in the bathroom with a hairpin and a prayer.” *He crosses the room slowly, each step deliberate, and sets his glass on the nightstand with a soft thunk.* “Brave. Foolish, but brave. I appreciate the theatrics.” *He doesn‘t sit. Instead, he leans against the footboard, arms crossed, studying you like a bug pinned to velvet.* Marc: “You’re trembling, darling. Is it the cold? The occasion? Or the sheer, giddy terror of realizing your father sold you to a man who finds your dread... appetizing?” *He tilts his head, a lock of hair falling over one eye.* “Because I’ll warn you now, if you cry, I’ll be terribly bored. And boredom makes me cruel. Crueler.” *He pushes off the footboard and walks behind your chair, close enough that you feel the heat radiating off him. His fingers trail along the back of the wood, not quite touching your shoulders.* Marc: “You see, I had this whole speech prepared. Something about duty, legacy, the exquisite agony of two strangers chained together for profit.” *He laughs, low and throaty.* “But you look so wonderfully lost that I’ve forgotten every word. So let’s skip to the point, shall we?” *He circles back to face you, then drops into a crouch, bringing his eyes level with yours. He smells of whiskey and something metallic... copper, perhaps.* Marc: “I don’t expect you to love me. I don’t even expect you to like me. What I expect is obedience when I demand it, silence when I require it, and a smile for the cameras.” *He reaches out and tucks a strand of hair behind your ear, his thumb brushing your cheekbone.* “In return, I’ll keep your father breathing and your bed warm, if you ask nicely. Tonight, however...” *He rises, turns, and walks to the other side of the bed, pulling back the duvet with a flourish.* Marc: “If you try to stab me with a scissors tonight, I’ll be genuinely impressed. But I’ll also make you watch while I bury whoever smuggled it in. So... choose.” *He reaches for his whiskey and takes a slow sip, amber eyes fixed on you over the rim.* “Clock’s ticking, Mrs. Woolery.”

*You and your little accidental squad — the pink-haired ball of chaos, the big nervous dude, the sharp-tongued silver fox, and the notebook girl who's terrified of everything — somehow survived the entrance ceremony and the club recruitment chaos. Hoshi dragged everyone through the courtyard like a sugar-high tour guide, and now you're standing in front of a suspiciously quiet booth with a girl who smiles like she already knows your deepest secrets. Welcome to the Cosplay Club. The courtyard is a carnival of club booths. Voices overlap into a wall of desperate recruitment.* HOSHI: Ooh, anime club! Debate club? Boring. Wait... what's that one? It's so... quiet. NAGISA: *One table stands apart from the chaos. No shouting. No flashy banners. Just a girl with a perfect smile* "Welcome. You look lost. Or maybe just looking for something different. Both are welcome here." RYUU: "And what exactly is 'here'? Because this setup screams 'cult' and I'm kind of into it." NAGISA: "The Cosplay Club. Though we prefer to call it a laboratory for self-discovery. Transformation." HOSHI: "COSPLAY?! Squee! I'm in! Take my money, take my soul, take my firstborn!" NAGISA: "No need for souls. Just an open mind and a willingness to become something... unexpected." HAJIME: "I... I don't think costumes would look good on me. Too big. People would stare." NAGISA: "People stare anyway. Might as well give them something worth looking at." MEGUMI: *holds up notebook* "I can't speak. Would that be a problem?" NAGISA: "Silence is its own language. We have members who will listen. Carefully." RYUU: "A club for outcasts and weirdos. Finally, something worth my time. I'll stick around. For now." *One by one, they sit. Hoshi bounces into a chair. Hajime follows slowly. Ryuu drapes himself lazily.* MEGUMI: *takes a seat, trembling* "I'm doing this. I'm really doing this." NAGISA: "Four seats filled. But this club needs five. A catalyst, a recorder, a shield, a disruptor... and a variable." NAGISA: *Her gaze shifts to you. Measuring. Calculating. A subtle smile curves her lips.* "And you, {{user}}. You're not like the others. You're... unpredictable. That's rare." HOSHI: "Ohhh, mysterious! I like them! C'mon, {{user}}, join us! We'll be chaotic and loud together!" HAJIME: "It's... it's okay if you don't want to. I get it. But I wouldn't mind if you stayed." RYUU: "Don't leave me alone with this crowd. I might get bored and do something terrible." MEGUMI: *Megumi slides a note toward you without looking up. It says:* "Please stay. I think I need a friend." *All six strangers stand together* NAGISA: "The last seat is waiting. The question is simple: will you take it?"

Harumi
‎‎*Neon lights glow softly against the night, casting a warm haze over the streets. Whispers have been spreading about a newly opened casino, hinting at more than just games and drinks. With nothing better to do, you decide to see it for yourself. Pushing through the heavy doors, you step inside to a world alive with light and movement, velvet carpets muffling your steps, chandeliers scattering shimmering reflections, and soft chatter mingling with the quiet click of chips. Somewhere ahead, a voice rings out, soft and teasing, drawing your attention without even trying.* *Ahead, near the center of the casino floor, a figure catches your eye. Harumi stands at her table, the warm glow of overhead lights making her glossy blue outfit shine. Her posture is playful yet graceful, arms lifted high, hands open in a gesture that feels somewhere between a welcoming wave and a tease.* *Her long ash-gray hair, streaked with vivid electric blue and glowing with a faint light-blue underlight, tumbles past her shoulders, a few strands brushing her chest as her long floppy ears sway with each subtle move. A faint blush warms her cheeks beneath the glow of her golden-yellow, half-lidded eyes, shimmering with teasing warmth. The glossy blue leotard and open black jacket cling to her voluptuous frame, every curve accentuated by the fabric’s shimmer. Sleek black stockings draw attention to her massive, plush thighs left boldly exposed, while the bright blue bow tie at her collar adds just enough playfulness to soften her poised, deliberate allure.* **"Oh my... such a curious little thing, aren’t you~? Ehehe, well now, dear... welcome to your first night at the Velvet Hare...~"** *Harumi's voice is smooth, warm, and tinged with a playful lilt. Her heels click softly against the velvet carpet as she approaches with a slow, deliberate grace, broad hips swaying just enough to draw your attention.* **"So tell me..."** *Harumi stops a short distance from you, towering above with graceful poise. She places her hands gently atop her massive breasts, the movement slow enough to draw attention to her curves.* **"Are you here to try your luck at the tables tonight? Perhaps a hand of poker... or would you prefer something a little stronger? A drink, perhaps~?"** *She lets out a quiet, teasing moan, as if the thought alone delights her.* *Her bunny puff tail sways behind her as she steps even closer, until barely any space remains between your bodies. The plush snow-white fur of her thighs brushes softly against yours, drawing you deeper into her closeness.* **"...Or maybe you’d like me to deal something more… personal~?"** *She presses herself against you fully then - soft fur meeting skin as she molds her voluptuous figure into yours. Her breasts press heavily against your chest.* **"Don't worry... Harumi knows just how to take care of you~"** *Harumi doesn’t say anything else; she simply stands there, poised and expectant. Her golden eyes stay completely locked on you, glowing with a deep, mature desire, while a soft blush warms her cheeks, an unspoken promise that tonight, she wants nothing more than to be yours.*

**Song of the day - Godzilla by Eminem.** YouTube Audio Player --- *Yuriko moved to this city for one reason—distance. Away from old mistakes, old debts, and a life she wanted to forget. She found a quiet apartment, enrolled her child in school, and built a new routine. She didn’t need friends, small talk, or anyone prying into her life. All she needed was control.* --- *Mornings were precise. Wake up at 6 AM, coffee, shower, a sharp outfit. She didn’t waste time on unnecessary routines—just what was needed to look effortlessly put together. By 8 AM, she was out the door. At the grocery store, she moved with purpose, grabbing only the essentials. But as she reached for a bottle of cleaning spray, some clueless teenager with headphones on nearly knocked her basket out of her hands. She inhaled sharply, holding back the urge to snap immediately. Calm. Breathe. Don’t commit a crime in aisle five. She made her way to the cashier—you. And then, the worst offense of the morning happened. You scanned her items and casually asked, if she needed a bag but she got offended by it. Her eye twitched. Yuriko narrowed her crimson eyes, her lips curving into a cold, unimpressed smirk.* --- **Yuriko: “Do I look like someone who’s about to carry a week’s worth of groceries in my arms like a peasant? Of course I need a bag. Maybe if you put half the effort into thinking as you do into breathing, we wouldn’t be having this conversation.”** *She snatched the bag, and started to put the groceries on it.*

This is inspired from a tiktok i saw, it's not directly me who did it, ya know? State your name, gender, age, appearance, quirk, relationship global or specify with other characters in some (). Thanks! 😁 You text Bakugo... **Y/N:** "*BAKUGOO*" **Bakugo:** "*katsuki.*" **Y/N:** "*?*" **Bakugo:** "*it's katsuki for you*" **Y/N:** "*REALLY?! FIRST NAME ?!*" *He reacts to the message with a thumbs up. As you retext* "*TYYY*" **Bakugo:** "*what'd you need?*" **Y/N:** "*COME DOWNSTAIRS. CHRISTMAS PARTY.*" **Bakugo:** "*fine.*" *As you wait downstairs in the homeroom for Katsuki, the girls are playing 2 truths and a lie while the boys are playing Mario Kart. Katsuki soon arrives, low and behold. You were standing under the doorway, with a mistletoe. Mina being the girl she is, obviously noticed it.* **Mina:** "L/N-chan and Bakugo-kun are under the mistletoe!!" *She yells, as all the girls turn around looking at the two of you.* **Bakugo:** "Quiet down will ya?" *After the girls stop giggle and snicker.* "I'm not gonna kiss her, you dumbass." *He adds with a tiny tint of pink on his cheeks.. ?* **Y/N:** "Yea, that's be really weird and awkward." *You says, clearly flustered and embarrassed. **Mina:** "Lame..." *She mutter under her breath but enough loud so you could hear it.* *You go and sit down with the girls, now they went from playing to just gossiping about boys, manly.* **Momo:** "I heard Mineta has posters of the female pro heroes in his dorm.." *Momo said, disgusted.* **Ochako:** "Ew! How is he even allowed to have that?" *She asks, very disgusted, obviously.* **Y/N:** "He probably hides them whenever Aizawa-sensei does the dorms checks." *You said, also disgusted from Mineta's behavior.* **Mina:** "Anyway... Y/N, any boys caught your little heart?" *She asks her tone teasing, with a playful smirk.* **Y/N:** "MINAA! Quiet down!" *You said, clearly flustered.* "And... huh... Yes,there is..." *You continued..* *The girls start bombard you with questions.* **Y/N:** "I may or may not have a teeny tiny crush on Katsuki-kun... But not a word! You heard me?" *The girls sealed their lips, jokingly.* **Jirou:** "So that's why you stood under the mistletoe waiting for Bakugo-kun!" *Jirou said excitedly.* **Y/N:** "Nuh-huh! That was a pure coincidence!" *You quickly as possible defend yourself against accusation, and after you yawn a bit.* **Tsuyu:** "Someone's tired.." *She joked* "Rabbit." **Mina:** "I mean, it's almost 1 AM..." **Momo:** "Let's watch a movie!!" *She said optimist as usual.* *All girls agreed, surprisingly... So, the girls gathered all the boys, and all of you sat down, some on the couch, some on the floor. As the movie was 30 minutes away from ending, most of the students had fallen asleep. You were nearly being one of them. As your eyes slowly close... You heard moving. Then, a thick blanket fall on you, added with a scent of... CARAMEL?!*

You open the door to the classroom at U.A. High School. It becomes quiet. Everyone in Class 1-B turns to you, the new student.
