“hello, My Love.”

“hello, my love.”

shouto todoroki’s morning voice makes you swoon — it’s rough around the edges and soft in the middle, like a sweet melody for your ears.

“good morning, shouto.”

you admire him in all of his glory; his hair is slicked back since he took a shower and it’s still damp (you can clearly see him pushing it back, annoyed huff leaving his lips. the thought makes you smile). he’s shirtless — toned chest almost glittering under the golden sunlight — but wearing loose tweed pants.

“how’d you sleep?” he asks, chops some melon and places it on a plate as you walk over to him.

“splendidly well,” you wrap your arms around his waist, bury your nose into his chest — he smells like peony and rose water body wash and feels soft, smooth. you’re embraced by comfort. you look up, grin at his pretty face. “and you?”

shouto leans down to kiss you — a kiss that tastes like tea, a sweet little kiss that makes you smile even more, wakes you up for the day. “also splendidly well. someone was clinging onto me and they continued to murmur they were cold, so. it was an eventful night.” he shrugs.

you hop on the countertop as he goes to turn on the stove, takes out some eggs from the fridge. there’s a tiny smile on his face and it’s contagious as hell.

“if i remember correctly, you were also hugging me closer to you.”

“oh, so now i can’t hug the person i’m marrying?!”

you giggle like a lovesick fool. “you’re impossible, mr. shouto todoroki.”

“i get that a lot in the office.” he wiggles in between your legs and you swear his eyes are in the shapes of hearts. and then, quite suddenly, he’s holding your chin — thumb grazing your bottom lip, making you taste the fruit he was cutting.

it’s quiet, barely above a whisper, but you hear it either way — i love you. and he plants a kiss on your lips, wraps his arms around your waist.

with a kiss from his lips you go to heaven and speak to god. with a touch from his hand your soul shivers.

his forehead rests against yours and it feels like you’ve become one for the thousandth time. he smiles, almost giggles. “okay, let me make you some breakfast.”

you feel loved. and you think it’s because you’re drowning in shouto todoroki’s love. and he feels the same way, too, lets you know in these little moments.

10 Good Romances I Watched in 2018

10) Kamisama Kiss

Kamisama Kiss is an interesting shoujo. I found it to be fairly unique compared to other shoujos and yet also found it to be a shoujo that held many of the tropes the genre normally has. I know charm is something that is typically subjective, but I found Kamisama Kiss to be a very charming show. From what I’ve seen, a lot of people have a similar opinion, so watch it if you like shoujos.

9) Asagao to Kase-san

I love how normal and teenage Asagao to Kase-san is. It’s really sweet to see the beginning of a relationship along with the awkward fumbling that comes from it, especially in a wlw romance. It’s cute and the movie is only an hour long. The manga is a little longer.

8) End of the Fucking World

End of the Fucking World is a good example of doing edgy, shitty teenagers right. I found myself rooting for them to get out of their…situation successfully and happily, even though it’s obvious that’s not going to happen. Watching the two of them slowly soften and care about the other was extremely satisfying. The series is pretty short. I watched it in about a day. So next time you get some free time this show might be a good idea.

7) (500) Days of Summer

It was really good. The story was told in a unique way and the characters were likable and their relationship was endearing. You could understand why they ended up together and why they liked each other while also seeing how they were ultimately not good for each other without making the characters look stupid. It’s a really good romantic comedy. I would recommend it.

6) Wotaku ni Koi Wa Muzukashii

Writing good. Pacing bad. That’s the base of the show. It’s an office romance! Those are normally pretty fun, and this one is! The opening and ending sequence are incredibly fun. I don’t have much to say about this one in all honesty. It’s a romantic comedy with dry humor and romance viewed through a mature lens. It’s good. Check it out.

5) Bloom into You

Yeahhhh Bloom into You is probably the most somber romance on this list. I gotta say, I was surprised by how psychological Bloom into You was considering how popular it seemed to be as well as the art design appearing very flowery at first sight (though once I started to watch the show the designs seemed more solemn). This show deals with trying to understand what being in love even is, the reasons people fall in love with others, and if those specific reasons will affect how the person reciprocates their feelings. It’s extremely good, just don’t watch it if you’re in the mood for a light romance.

4) Our Relationship is…

I’ve already written most of my thoughts on this manhwa in a different blog post of mine. It’s a really good romance with strong main and side characters. If you like the friends to lovers trope then this manhwa is the one for you. I could really sense their care for one another. The manhwa was also good at differentiating between what made them like each other as friends and what made them like each other romantically. Their relationship evolved nicely. I’d recommend it, for sure.

3) Doukyuusei

Definitely the healthiest yaoi I’ve seen. Though I haven’t seen many. I’m kind of sucker for romances that put an emphasis on the seasons so Doukyuusei kind of easily became a beloved romance of mine. The direction and water-color design was beautiful. Sadly, I don’t think the movie is purchasable in the west as well as being very hard to stream. Seriously. I’m surprised my computer didn’t get a virus after watching this.

2) Fruits Basket

I’m mad it took me until 2018 to watch this. If you’re into the found family trope (like me) then Fruits Basket is a must watch. The themes of finding a place to belong are done so beautifully and the characters are so likable that when they find that place it just…you really feel that shit. The romance is also really sweet, though not as developed compared to the manga- but hey! Fruits Basket is getting a reboot in April that is supposed to follow the manga a lot better than the original anime adaptation so PLEASE look forward to that.

1) His and Her Circumstances

I really like this one. The two main characters are likable and the comedy is done really well and this show serves a lot of good advice and insight on growing up and relationships and it’s just really good okay. It’s one of the few romances I’ve seen that shows that people make mistakes in relationships that are often unintentional- sometimes those mistakes are even things we think we’re doing right. His and Her Circumstances just really knows how to portray common and realistic relationship problems and blunders in an interesting, endearing way. Watch it if you can find it.

Ways to Say “No” to Things.

Without saying “I’m sorry.” 1. “I wish I could help but my plate is pretty full right now.” 2. “I have said yes to too many things lately and I’m honestly overwhelmed at the moment.” 3. “I am not accepting any new tasks right now.” (I use this a lot and even though it is firm, I get positive responses because it’s relatable). 4. “I am over-committed right now, but I hope you find the help you need.” 5. “That’s my night to spend time with my family but thank you for asking me.” 6. “I’d love to but my schedule is packed right now.” 7. “That’s not a good day/time for me.” 8. “That’s not really my area, but thank you for thinking of me.” 9. “I’m honored but I can’t this time.” 10. “Thank you but this isn’t something I’m able to take on right now.” 11. “I am needed somewhere else that day, but thank you.” 12. “I am limiting my commitments right now.” 13. “I am honestly not able to dedicate the time right now.” 14. If you are disabled: “Spoons are low, so today is not a good day for this.” (try using “bandwidth” instead of “spoons” if you are not disabled so we can preserve the meaning of “spoons.”) 15. “That’s not a good fit for me, but (offer a genuine alternative).”
