Fic Finder
Apr 12th
~*~
1. For the ficfinder: In the last "In the mood for", no 8 reminded me of a fic but I cant recall the one. Wwx is travelling by himself, writing letters to LZ, he stays in a town and it ends up cursed. LZ and the juniors arrive to solve the case. Wwx is acting weird and hides his letters. The juniors read the letters and find out wwx is angry and full of resentment about how he's been treated. They find out the curse resonates from him. They talk it out to resolve matters. It was written really well. Any idea? @kesterling
FOUND! i found it myself, it kept bugging me. The fic is sadly deleted but on the wayback machine: Dock of the Bay by Haysel.
~*~
2. Hi! This is for Fic Finder. All I remember is the ending, where Yu Ziyuan had her arms cut off, and that there was a part that mentioned that this was punishment enough as she would have to live her life with no pride. Also, she had an affair with Jin Guangshan, and Jiang Cheng was his child, and she had to become his concubine, I think. Hope someone knows which fic this is!
FOUND? sounds like the deleted "OOC!" by A_flower_in_the_snow. It's avaiable on the wayback machine.
~*~
3. Hi, once again.
I’m looking for a fic that I seriously can’t find, at all.
So it would really be a great help if you could.
Wwx was brought to cloud recesses for healing after madam yu had whipped him so bloody he couldn’t move and wa sin active danger of dying.
The disciples who brought him there did so on a donkey I think?
Anyway they asked LZ to please befriend Wwx.
The healers weren’t sure if Wwx would survive. He does.
And joins the lan, befriending LZ oh and he can’t fight with his sword anymore because of the damage and something about his heart having been weakened.
That is all I remember.
Have a nice day/night. @ravenwithwings

4. Hi!! I'm looking for a fic I can't remember the name of, a modern AU, possibly set in the UK where lwj is part of some sort of anarchist/ community activist group and wwx joins. Most people in the group already know wwx and are reallly good friends with him but lwj is super skeptical about him. Also at some point I think wwx goes missing and lwj is super worried??? I can't remember anything else... thank you in advance🙏🙏🙏 @kavlobebeki

5. Hi, I'm wondering if anyone else remembers a fic similar to leading tone by silencemostofall, and pastel by antebunny, but that's set in the canon era while they're at Cloud Recesses? A few details I remember was that the coloured mark that indicated Jiang Cheng and Wei Wuxian's relationship started to fade, and that Jiang Cheng was allowed home to celebrate his birthday, while Wei Wuxian's was completely ignored by the Jiang Sect and so he spent it drinking and was caught by Lan Wangji. Apologies that I don't have more! @flaxenhairedsamurai
Hi, I was number 5 on the fic finder on April 12. Just letting you know I found the fic I was looking for! It was Mark Me With Your Devotion by an orphan account. Thank you, and I've bookmarked it so I don't lose it again!

6. There was this fic on ao3 I don't remember, much, but it had this part, where lwj refused to go near his child(/children??) Because when wwx was pregnant he slowly grew ill or I dunno I think there was some complications (?) and when it was finally the time of delivery, wwx fell into coma I think. And lxc was angry with lwj for not even looking at his child / children when both wc were so excited for the baby.
There is a similar wx comic on Twitter. Can you please find both of them? The ao3 fic and the Twitter comic too please?
FOUND? I don’t know the Ao3 but I do know the comic similar to the description which made by AlasseTassir in twitter and they post it on their pixiv.
~*~
7. A while back I found and lost 😥 a fic where WangXian, I think, were smuggling Wen Ning (and probably Wen Qing) across a border somewhere and they put a fake mustache on one of the two and people kept complimenting them on how nice it looked. I think people even copied the mustache after that? Maybe even the bad Wens? That's literally all I can remember about it. I've tried every tag I can think of and haven't been able to find it. Hopefully someone will know. TIA! @lilyinthesnow

9. Hi all! 👋 I am so sorry to bother you if you’ve already found this fic but I’ve scoured across the internet all day and decided to go ahead and ask anyway! I’m looking for a fic that has Wei Ying being adopted into the Lan clan as a child, he was scared to be kicked out and became rather solemn and a perfect lan clan member, on the other hand Lan Zhan has grown to be shameless and flirts with Wei Ying every chance he gets. There’s also some Jiang Bashing, OCs, and maybe some time travel? Help🥹
FOUND? could be the deleted "Uno Reverse" by A_flower_in_the_snow. It's on the wayback machine.
~*~
10. Hello!! I swear I just read it and now I can't find this fic- but it's supposed to be an AU where wwx stayed behind during Lotus Pier's attack and Madam Yu and JC escaped but wwx stayed to fight, and lwj heard wwx was missing and he rushes to help wwx and he runs in JC and JY also trying to save wwx? Thank you in advance!

11. Hi, thanks so much for all your efforts!!
I’ve been looking for a fic and hope it hasn’t been deleted. Wei Ying, Jiang Cheng, and Jiang Yanli were mermaids but were also semi-amphibious? They could go on land for short periods and they helped fight the Wens during the Sunshot Campaign. Wei Ying is married off to Lan Zhan and he lives in the Cloud Recesses. Most of the story is centered around Wei Ying adjusting to his life on the surface amongst humans and navigating the relationship with his new husband.
FOUND? you’re a bird in the water / i’m a fish on the ground by plonk (Not Rated, 8k, WangXian, Merpeople, Canon Era)
~*~
12. Hi, can you help me find a fic . The story goes somewhat like Lan Wangji was in a nighthunt and had taken shelter in an inn . There was a storm, and Wei Ying came to that inn seeking shelter with a few orphan kids . Those kids and Wei Ying were both from the same, and they escaped from being sold ? I think Wangji was a bit older than Wei Ying. Also, Wei Ying could use his cultivation powers without any medium like swords or instruments. 🙏
FOUND? ❤️ Seen and not heard by eatmyass (E, 51k, wangxian, case fic, no sunshot, kid fic, dadxian, strangers to lovers, found family, LWJ pov, pining, fake/pretend relationship, first time, falling in love)
~*~
13. Helppp! looking for a fic I read awhile ago and it just wont leave my mind, So basically Wangxian had an age gap LWJ was like 16 or 17 and WWX in his 20's but like "the cloud recesses" is some sort of mansion and the lotus siblings visit them in cloud recesses. I think it was tagged E if that helps
~*~
14. Hi! For Fic Finder. Thank you very much for your help. There’s a fic I thought I bookmarked but can no longer find.
The first fic is a dark Lans fic set during the Cloud Recesses arc. WWX and JC are betrothed in this universe. But LWJ and WWX fall in love. LWJ manipulates the environment and JCs insecurities to break them up. I believe it’s in a two part series.
Thank you!
~*~
15. Story of Yanxi Palace based fic. WY is the empress/consort who hides in a box from Sizhui. LZ knows he's inside the box, and as a prank/punishment, he uses the box to play a boardgames with Sizhui
~*~
16. Hi! I really am looking for this story in AO3 and still can't find it. It was about Wei Wuxian who got married to Wen Chao but Lan Zhan couldn't take it so he plans to take Wei Wuxian back by claiming Wei Wuxian each time he got (even in the wedding night of WWX and WC) and destroying the company of the Wens. As they (LWJ & WWX) continued the deed, WWX ended up pregnant and LWJ is more than determined to take WWX back. I do hope you can help me find this story. Thank you in advance!😘 @gegegeeee
FOUND? 姻緣 | this marriage was always predestinedby saccharinings (E, 43k, wangxian, Cheating, Infidelity, not between wangxian, WWX is married and LWJ persuades him to cheat on his husband with him, Dark LWJ, A/B/O, Feminizing Language, Exhibitionism, Size Difference, WagnXian Have a Breeding Kink, Stomach Bulge, Possessive LWJ, Manipulation, WWX Wears Lingerie, Rape/Non-con Elements, for one part, Hair-pulling Kink, Alpha LWJ, Omega WWX, Mirror Sex, Vibrators, Phone Sex, Rimming, Edgeplay, slight choking kink, Light Bondage, Inappropriate Use of Gūsū Lán Forehead Ribbon, LJY’s Big Fat Crush on Milfxian, Pregnant WWX, WangXian Endgame, Spanish Translation)
~*~
17. I'm looking for this fic that's basically a bunch of drabbles in one. Each chapter title is one word and serves as the theme for that chapter. I remember it having quite a lot of chapters, but I only remember one titled "kneeling" where Wuxian kneeled before Wangji (if you need a better picture, imagine that one scene in CQL where Wuxian kneeled and put his head on Yanli's lap in that one episode) @mindaneacc
~*~
18. Hey, I'm looking for a fic where LZ and WY are already married and living in Gusu. But they get separated from each other due to an illness/curse going through the Wen Sect, so LZ leaves to give medical aid. In the process, he ends up adopting Wen Yuan. There is a sweet connection between WY and Lan Qiren. But most importantly Wen Qing managed to assassinate Wen Ruohan. @mother-of-pigeons
I remember 18, though I can't find it either. The sickness/curse in question made people burn from the inside; it was contagious from breathing in the ashes of the people dying. There was a honestly touching scene with Wen Chao dying while Wen Ning kept him company. Wen Qing assassinated WRH because she was treating him for the illness, for which they'd finally found the cure, and he announced that he therefore would use it as a weapon against the other sects, by deliberately infecting them and holding the cure hostage. The only ones they'd allow to have the cure are the Lans, because they're the only ones who came to help. He also intended to marry WQ, as he'd lost both his sons and needed new ones. I think it might have been part of a series, with the first part showing how WangXian got together.
FOUND!🔒Distance Makes the Heart Grow Fonder by Titans_R_Us (T, 11k, WangXian, Arranged Marriage, Mutual Pining, Temporary Separation, BAMF WQ)
~*~
19. Hello!! Here I am again looking for a wangxian fic. It's one that I read through here but never found again, anyway, the things I remember from the fic are: the sects transform into animals, being shapeshifters, the Lan are dragons like WWX, I also remember that the transfer of core occurred but the core has a mind of its own and it goes back to WWX's body, WWX faints and Wanji makes a soulmate connection... Those are the only things I remember!!
Note: I think Ao3 should have category filtering in our subscriptions, because I think I subscribed to the story but I already looked and couldn't find it... @sweettiebah
FOUND? sounds like "Revealed Truths Against Dragon's Fire" by Preludian_Staves. It's hidden on AO3 but avaiable on the waback machine.
~*~
20. Hi! I'm looking for a fic with a red string of fate au where wwx jumps off the cliff, but has a moment of weakness when he looks at lwj and end up tying himself to lwj before dying... And when he wakes up he discovers lwj kept the string bc when he wakes up as mxy he can see it connecting him to lwj. He flees and tries to put as much distance as he can between them but lwj still finds him at dafan mountain... It's a multi chapter (I think) with a happy ending. Help please? 🥺
FOUND? 💖 a trail of blood to find your way back home by blackelement7 (T, 19k, wangxian, JC & WWX, what if a soulmate string au, but without the soulmates aspect of it, a reflection on the nature of marriage, WWX is full of regrets, so is LWJ, Mutual Pining, Miscommunication, JC & WWX Reconciliation, JC is trying his best but words are hard and his brother is stupid, Siblings, Canonical Character Death, but it’s just WWX, accidental 3zun feels, WWX as the most unreliable of narrators)

“The stars shine for you” { Stolas x g/n reader }
Tumblr media
Yep , decided to make another little x reader fic with Stolas , cause I just really want him to be happy after all he’s been through ;_; ❣️
As always , I apologize for possible ooc moments , and if someone already wrote about something similar know it’s not my intention to copy anyone !
🍃 Warnings 🍃 : none , this is just pure fluff featuring Stolas and the reader celebrating an anniversary by going to see a special event 🌠
💫 . 💫 . 💫 . 💫 . 💫 . 💫 . 💫 . 💫 . 💫 . 💫 . 💫 .
“Oh darling , I’m so glad you made it !”
(Y/n) smiled as Stolas pulled them in a loving embrace , and they let out a gentle chuckle …
He surely seemed excited that day , probably because it was their four months anniversary of being in a relationship : the Prince always remembered those times with an almost scary accuracy , and he also made sure to organize something special each time those occasions arrived .
(Y/n) couldn’t help but feel curious about what he had planned this time while walking inside their partner’s mansion … 
“Of course , I’d never miss such an important event ! 
So , what would you like us to do my love ?”
, they asked , following Stolas to the living room .
“Well you see , a very rare event will occur in the human world today : a comet that only appears every ten years will be visible from the Earth’s sky , and since I found a secluded spot where no humans would be able to bother us I thought it would be nice to watch it together …”
He interrupted his enthusiastic explanation to look back at (y/n) .
“Oh - but if by chance you’d prefer to do something else that is completely fine ! 
I would never want to pressure you into doing anything that you don’t like , so please don’t worry about being truthful with me : as long as I’m with you I’m the happiest demon in Hell , so …”
(Y/n) held his hand in theirs , looking up into his scarlet eyes .
“That sounds amazing , Stolas , I’d love to watch the comet with you .
I can’t believe you planned something so special just for me … you’re a sweetheart .”
The Prince’s concerned expression turned into a bright smile , and he leaned down to give his partner a kiss on the forehead .
“You deserve nothing but wonderful things (y/n) … this is truly the least I could do for the one demon that brought light into my once empty life .”
He looked at them tenderly , before opening a portal in front of the two of them . 
“Well then , shall we get going ? I believe we have around three minutes before it begins .”
(Y/n) nodded in response , and they both walked through the portal while still holding hands .
When they walked out they found themselves into a beautiful valley , the night sky above it crystal clear thanks to the absence of any sort of artificial lights .
The two sat next to each other , silently waiting until … 
“Woah … !”
(Y/n)’s eyes widened as the comet finally made its appearance , shining among the stars in all of its glory …
Time seemed to freeze , stuck into that magical , beautiful moment that no one else in Hell was even aware of .
Stolas gazed at them with a loving expression , placing his hand on their shoulder and holding them close to him .
“Happy anniversary , my starlight .”
, he quietly whispered .
(Y/n) looked back at the Prince , a warm happiness filling their heart as they leaned forward to leave a gentle kiss on his lips .
“Thank you Stolas …”
💫 . 💫 . 💫 . 💫 . 💫 . 💫 . 💫 . 💫 . 💫 . 💫 . 💫 .
Thank you so much for reading this little story until the end ! :D
Feel free to leave some feedback if you want :) ❤️

New idea I hope I'm not annoying you so can you please do a romantic Apollo, Poseidon x fem shinra reader (separately) so basically the reader is a female version of shinra she has all his ability and power's shinra is from fire force if your wondering here's a bit more information shinra can make fire come out of his feet and that allows him to fly he can also kick so hard that he sent the moon back to space Shira is also really fast he can easily break the sound barrier and that not mentioning his shinrabanshōman form he basically rewrote the laws of reality to save everyone also when shinra is nervous he tends to smile so yeah the reader is a female version of shinra and is op and not matter what she will always be on humanity side
Oh yea I remember seeing some things about him and fire force in the past, sure I think I can do this though it might turn out short seeing as I never really watched fire force yet (it’s in my watchlist but like many others I haven’t gotten around to watching it plus I have many things to watch so yea lol 😅), also you’re not annoying me don’t worry just as long as you don’t keep requesting for record of ragnarok as I don’t want to get burned out and close the ror request 😅.
Warning: noob author, female reader, ooc?, and others.
Characters: Apollo, Poseidon.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Apollo:
You two met by you accidentally bumping into him when you were exploring Valhalla as you recently had died on earth and was considered a warrior so you ended up in Valhalla, you nervously smiled out of habit as you hoped you didn’t die again as you heard that some gods and goddesses don’t take too kindly to humans so you hope that he wasn’t one of those gods that hate humans.
He was a bit freaked out about your smile as he was expecting you to grovel and plead for your life to be spared for bumping into a god but you had only smiled and apologized. He questioned why you were smiling and you toppled him of your habit when you get nervous before you took your cue and quickly left.
He was curios about you and wanted to know more about you, he wonders multiple times if you’re to his standard of beauty or not and he hopes that you are as you’re very interesting to human surprisingly more than he thought yo’d be.
You were thankful to not have died on the spot in front by apollo killing you as you wanted to explore more of Valhalla and you couldn’t do that if you were dead.
You can’t help but think that he was very attractive but you stopped quickly after that thought entered your head as Apollo might be more powerful than you which mans if he should ever have the desire to kill you he might so just in case you begin thinking of a plan to protect yourself and any possible passerby should it ever happen that he wants to kill you.
Apparently he didn’t want to kill you you found out later after he surprised ambushed you as you were avoiding him just in case, in fact you apparently was to his approval of beauty which you were surprised to hear about. You two later go together which shocked many and made many god/goddesses and nymphs mad and jealous but you two ignored them. You two like to spare together, he was shocked to see how strong you were, but what he didn’t know was that you were holding back immensely so as to not destroy anything or anybody.
When ragnarok happened you sided with humanity which wasn’t really shocking but Apollo tried getting you on the gods side but that proved to be useless as you didn’t think it was fair how the gods were just destroying humanity even though it was their jobs as gods to guide humanity and that if Apollo loved you then he would do what was right as you will fight for humanity; you knew that you’d most likely win considering you’re half god and half human and a very powerful one at that, but Apollo didn’t so he decided to fight for humanity as well so in case you both win you two can celebrate like couples and if not and you both die you two could be together for eternity.
Poseidon:
He kept on seeing you wherever he went and naturally thought you were following him which annoyed him as he didn’t want what he calls; you in his eyes at the moment, filth following, you of course was just exploring Valhalla and wasn’t trying to follow Poseidon around but Poseidon definitely thought you were.
He decided to confront you about it, you were nervous as you heard from many that Poseidon is a very dangerous person that you shouldn’t annoy or anger and how he sees humans as filth as he would dice you with his trident, so you nervously smiled out of habit and explained that you werewn’t following him on purpose but it’s because you were exploring Valhalla as you’re new here, thankfully he didn’t notice your nervous smiling habit, at least you thought he didn’t but he was able to see your nervous smile in his peripheral vision even though he was looking at the floor away from you like he’d always do when in the presence of those he deemed filth.
Your nervous smiling habit stayed in his mind later after that no matter what he was doing or whatever it was he was thinking, even if it didn’t involved you he still thought about your nervous smile that he couldn’t get out of his head no matter how much hew tried to get you out.
He later started searching for you as he wanted to see if this wasn’t part of your power as he can feel himself getting comfortable thinking about you even though he doesn’t want to, at least that’s what he keeps telling himself, his brothers on the other hands sees it differently, it’s mostly Zeus who tease Poseidon about it which he almost gets screwed each time by Poseidon if it weren’t for their older brother; hades, who stopped them before one of them gets killed by the other.
You were defiantly in for a shock when you found yourself in front of Poseidon again once more, at first you thought you are now going to be dead for accidentally unintentionally following him again but he surprised you by asking you what ‘spell’ did you cast on him to think about you so much no matter how many times he tried to get you out of his heads.
He left soon after you told him that you didn’t put a ‘spell’ on him or anything of the sorts, you knew you were powerful but you didn’t know that you could make such a stoic and cold man like him think about you all the time. You found him attractive but knew that he very well might kill you when your paths cross again. You were shocked to find out that he did not kill you the next time you two cross p[aths in fact he wanted to get to know you. Soon after you two became a couple after getting to know each other and after some courting which flabbergasted every one sept for those that knew well enough.
When ragnarok started you knew he would side with the gods so you left a note explaining that your would be siding with the humans as you thought it was unfair how the gods treated the humans even though the gods were mostly at fault for not doing their jobs to guide the humans to a right path and you would happily die trying if it meant getting your point across and set the gods on doing their jobs finally, he wasn’t happy at the thought of your death and he knew you were right so as a god he decided to join the humans side which very much shocked the other gods as usually he would think of humans as filth but it seemed that your got through to him and so now he sides with the humans survival.
(A/n: hope y’all like it!!! I tried my best to keep the two in character so I’m sorry if it turns out that they were more ooc than I thought they would be 😅 same with the reader seeing as how she’s based off of shinra from fire force, also the requester said that the reader was half god and half human; demigod, and a very large powerful at that so I tried incorporating that into it the best I can so I hope I did ok on it, and sorry if I didn’t 😅, like I said before just make sure to not overdue it on requesting for record of ragnarok as I don’t want to have to close it like I did with the others because I was burned out of it alright? Thank you. Anyway I believe that’s it and hope y’all have a wonderful day/evening/night!!)

event: Earth Week
location: all around Merrock
date & time: April 19-28, 2024
ooc duration: April 19-28, 2024
Instead of just one day to celebrate Earth Day… let's have a whole week (and then some)! Since we all want to get outside and have a good time, many fun things have been set up for the Merrockites to see and do around town this week, whether it's getting your hands dirty, breaking a sweat, or just relaxing outside.
This event is for all ages, whether you want to come out with a group of friends, do something solo, hang with your family, or anything in between. Everyone is welcome, and every day is up for grabs! Under the cut, you will find some fun things to do: but feel free to come up with your own earthy, outdoorsy ideas.
PICNIC DAY: on April 23rd, get outside and have a picnic! All school-aged children will be having their lunches outdoors, and employers are encouraged to let their workers do the same.
ARBOR DAY: and on April 26th, you can pick up baby trees at the Town Hall, to either be planted around Merrock, or in your own backyard!
HIKING: whether you want something easy, like flat trails, or a little more challenging, like hiking the waterfalls, the State Park will have all of their trails open for hiking and walking! you can head out solor, or take a guided trail, too.
COMMUNITY GARDEN: the garden will open this week to reserve your plot and start planting, as well as growing in the 'community space' where everyone can share the goods.
BIKE RIDES: meet up at Cityview Park with like-minded individuals looking to get out on their bikes; take a biking tour around Merrock's downtown area!
PLAYGROUND & PARK CLEAN-UP: head over to the playgrounds and parks in Merrock and do some clean-up, so the kids can have the most beautiful spaces to play this summer!
SPORTY FUN: over at the community athletic fields, get together a game of football, volleyball, kickball, whatever it is that you want to do to enjoy being outside.
WATERWAYS CLEANING: spend a little time picking up around Lake Malory, the beaches, and Black Creek, making sure that they're fresh and clean for the warm season.
LITTER CHALLENGE: take a slip to town hall saying that you've picked up a certain amount of litter, and be entered into a raffle to win a prize! the more you pick up, the more chances you have to win!
STATE PARK SCAVENGER HUNT: a hunt has been set up for kids and adults to find different birds, plants and wild life while they're out adventuring!
NATURE RUN: a 5k challenge has been set up in the countryside, running through some fields and along the creek! although it's not timed, and can be done any time that week, those who enter must donate money raised by donors to nature-centric causes.
Please note, these ideas are not the be-all, end-all for the event! If there is something you want your characters to do together while they're out in nature, please do! Go horseback riding, go clean up the golf course, take a boat ride, whatever you see fit. These are just some suggestions and organized activities to help you get started.
As usual, existing activity doesn't have to be dropped or paused if you still want to continue those threads, just be understanding if people want to put focus into the event. We will not be doing a thread roulette, but there is a plot / thread call post in the OOC to generate buzz and interest! xx

🌿🌹KEITO HASUMI THE VAMPIRE🌹🌿
keito hasumi x fem reader
au
warnings: slightly nsfw-ish, yandere, slight horror, biting
word count: 1.6k
a/n: ok keito is kinda ooc but its bc of the vampire charm ya know. also this one is super long so i added a word count :D i had so much fun writing this i hope y’all enjoy!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You were invited to a banquet held at Sakuma Residence, a mansion that had seemed to stretch from one end of the Earth to the other. It was a celebration for a vampire tradition significant to the Sakuma family, but many were invited and were dressed to impress. Ladies in lavish ball gowns and men in neat and fitting tuxedos. Nothing about this banquet screamed poor.
You had heard rumors circling around that there were actual vampires among the guests invited to the banquet. They could not be easily distinguished from normal humans, but if recognized, it would be best to avoid encountering them as they could change your life right before you know it.
These mysterious rumors made you wary and a bit afraid, but at the same time excitement was pumping through your heart. As you danced through the night, taking turns with different strangers, you wondered if you were yet to encounter a real vampire, or if you had already met one.
Eventually the clock had struck midnight, and the deep, rich sound of a bell echoed throughout the hall. It was already the next day, but the night was far from over.
As you danced, a distant figure caught your attention. It was a man with dark-green hair and glasses, who was standing alone with crossed arms. He seemed to be watching something that was in your direction, but you denied that it could possibly be you.
Until a few more dances later, as you were in the midst of switching partners, a hand was outstretched in front of you. You looked to see who it was, and low and behold, it was the man.
"My lady, may I be honored to have this dance?" The man asked courteously with a small smile on his face. Your face began heating up. He was the only person that night that had actually asked for a dance. Throughout the night you were simply transitioning between partners with no formalities.
You took a breathe and said smiling, "Yes, you may."
The man smiled and gently took your hand within his, pulling you close to him as his other arm wrapped itself softly around your waist. You placed one hand on his chest and looked up to admire your partner.
From afar, you wouldn't be able to tell that he was handsome, but now that you were this close, you could see how all of his features aligned. Now you were not only charmed by his polite demeanor, but you were also charmed by his handsome features. Your heart raced as you thought about this man and wondered if there could be more to this night.
"My lady, I am delighted to be dancing with you tonight. May I get to know your name?" the man had asked.
"O-oh yes I am delighted as well! My name is y/n. What is your name?" You blurted nervously as you were brought back to reality.
"My name is Keito Hasumi. It is a pleasure getting to know you, y/n," he stated coolly.
"It's a pleasure getting to know you too, Keito," you said with a shy smile.
Keito Hasumi was his name, and you made sure not to forget it. As you two continued to converse, you gazed into his lime-green eyes and felt yourself falling deeper. Unfortunately, what had remained out of your sight were the fangs behind his lips.
Before you knew it, your dance had come to an end. Keito slowly released you and held one of your hands to his lips for a small kiss.
"It was a pleasure dancing with you, y/n. I hope we can meet again soon," Keito said as he let go of your hand and smiled at your slightly saddened face.
"I hope to see you again too," you whispered with a small smile.
And like a swift breeze, he was out of sight. You were lost for a second and had felt slight panic in your chest as you hoped to not lose him. Though you were sad, you had truly hoped that you would meet again that night.
Little would you know, you would.
✻✻✻✻✻✻✻✻✻✻✻✻✻✻✻✻✻✻✻✻✻✻✻✻✻✻✻✻✻✻✻✻✻✻✻✻✻✻✻✻✻✻✻✻
After a few more rounds of dancing, you felt yourself getting exhausted for the first time this night. You left the dance floor in search of a restroom where you could be alone and away from the the extravagant orchestra and the chattering voices.
As you turned this way and that throughout the dimly-lit halls, the silence began to creep up on you and you wondered if you actually knew where you were going. In efforts to remain calm, you opened doors and peeped inside to see if you had found the restroom, but to no avail, you remained lost.
The hallways became more dim as you wandered through unexplored territory. You knew for sure you were lost, so now you searched with hopes to find a person to help you. As you closed the door to a room you looked into, you suddenly felt a cold breath tickle your ear.
"Y/n." a familiar voice whispered.
You gasped and turned around to meet Keito's face inches away from yours. You nearly let out a scream before his hand covered your mouth as he dragged you into a nearby room.
You found yourself on the wooden floors of an old bedroom, directly within the moonlight that shone through the large glass windows. Your heart raced at the sudden change of scenery as well as the sudden appearance of the man. You were secretly a bit happy that you were able to see him again, but you couldn't push away the fear in your heart.
Keito held you within his arms as his face inched closer to yours. He cupped your cheek with his hand and shifted your face so your eyes could meet his.
"Y/n, I'm happy to see you again. Are you glad to see me too?" Keito asked softly.
You couldn't get a word out. Thoughts about the mere distance between you two had completely clouded your brain. All you could do was stare hopelessly into those lime-green eyes.
Keito chuckled, revealing his fangs that glinted in the moonlight. Your eyes widened when they shifted to the source of the glinting. The truth hit you hard: Keito was a vampire. Now you were frozen and shaking with fear, your heart nearly exploding out of your chest as fear crept up within you. You didn't think vampires were actually real, did you? You had no clue of what they could be capable of. You won't die, will you...?
Keito tightened his grip around you as his expression became serious and his eyes locked on yours.
"I've waited so long to have you, y/n. You could not imagine how much it took for me to hold myself back... days and nights I spent watching you, dreaming of you, to hold you in my arms like this and have you all to myself, draped in the sweet scent of your blood... I wish you could just be mine."
One truth was already hard enough, but finding out that he's been after you for who knows how long? You felt like a deer caught in headlights, he had you trapped under his spell before you even knew it. This entire time you had left yourself so vulnerable, there was no escape to this and that fear haunted you.
"K-Keito..." you spluttered out shakily.
"Y/n please don't worry, I won't hurt you, I promise. You're so precious to me, I cherish you as if you are the rarest gemstone to exist on this planet. There's nothing to fear, you're safe in my arms," Keito attempted to assure you, panic clear in his voice. The look of fear in your eyes, he didn't want you to go farther away...
He didn't want you to go farther away. You couldn't, you shouldn't. You were his and only his. He decided you were his. No one could take away anything that belonged to him. Now that he had you this close, there was no way he was letting you go. No matter what it took, he would make sure that you will truly be his in the end.
Your breathes halted as Keito suddenly pulled you into a strong embrace, holding you so close you found it hard to breathe. You tried pulling away but his grip was indestructible.
"Keit-" you tried calling out to him as you made poor attempts to escape. Every time you tried, he pulled you in even closer.
"Please y/n, please cooperate. I'm doing this for your best, for our best. I told you, you don't have to worry."
"What are you going to do-"
"I'm turning you into a vampire. That is the only way we can be together forever..."
You stopped resisting as the words struck you. You had felt it deep inside of you: There was no hope in trying anymore. This was the end. You lost.
Your body went limp within his arms as you finally gave up on yourself. Keito smirked at the sight of you surrendering yourself to him. He secured one hand on your cheek and exposed your neck, leaning in to plant a small kiss on your skin.
"Thank you for cooperating y/n. I'm sorry, this will hurt just a little..." Keito whispered into your ear.
You gazed soullessly at the wallpaper of the old bedroom, eyes barely held open by heavy lids. As you felt the sharp tip of his fangs touch your skin, your thoughts drifted from reality to another world. A world away from the banquet full of lavish dancers. A world where it was just you and him, together for the rest of eternity. The thought of it didn't seem so bad after all, did it?
The moment his teeth sunk into your skin, your vision went black. It was the end.

{OOC Note: Because this is an RP blog, normally I would attach a reply to the bottom of this. But it hits me so damn hard, I really and honestly don't have the words for it just now. It's so incredibly moving and powerful, my analysis is that it stands strong on its own. In fact, I'm coming up with a drabble to write in eventual reply, but here and now, in this moment, this submission deserves its own spotlight. This is masterful writing and I count myself as one of the luckiest people on Earth to call @brooklynislandgirl my writing partner and one of my dearest friends. I am utterly and thoroughly blown away. I raise a glass to you, D, and hope that my prose can find its way to equaling yours.}
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
{{Fluttering Confessions meme}}
"You're my Hokupa'a, Stephen."
She turns away from his windows and the tender smile on her full lips is curved only for him, the wine-red stain she wears almost perfectly matching the dress that wraps around her frame. Each step is graceful, accentuates her natural beauty. She stops only a hand-span away from him and reaches up, adjusting the tie at his throat, retucking the points of the shirt's collar. Heavy lidded gaze however meets his and doesn't shy away. In their depths he can see alternate suggestions for their evening.
They don't have to go to the awards ceremony, presenting him with a physical token of his genius, the pioneering of the Strange Technique. That instead they could pop open the incredibly rare, incredibly expensive bottle of 1959 Dom Perignon champagne she's got perfectly chilled for their private celebration. That they could leave a trail of their clothes from living room to their bed. That he could drink the heady brew from every curve and hollow of her body before making love to each other the whole night through.
Beth has never been more in love with her husband than she is right now, and pride radiates from every fibre of her being.
"And now, da whole world can see why."
~*~
"You came."
It carries the connotation of 'who let you in here'. And she lets that anger rise up without considering trying to mollify it. Anger is a purifying fire that lays waste to doubt and to pain when the conflagration burns hot enough, she knows this all too well. Love is the only other emotion that can both cure and cauterise in equal measures and she knows that is too much to ask of him.
She lifts her head from how it had been bowed, the dark circles under her eyes speaking to the red eyed international flight, and all the way across her Mother's eastern arm, she'd prayed. She'd begged for his life. One of only two things she'd ever asked for in her entire life. And if the gods could not grant her this one boon, she prayed that his would end peacefully, that he would be spared from the exquisite anguish she could feel racing through his system and pooling in his arms, his chest, his face.
Even now the ravages are painful to look on. The same side of his mouth where his often sardonic smile lifted at the corner is swollen, twisted. The cut is deep. It is as furious as the rest of him. That same side's eye, tumescent and bruised, sealed shut. All of the lacerations. And still he is the most beautiful man she's ever seen. Maybe even more so now, inexplicably. He would say it was her bleeding heart for stray and broken things. She would have countered with the fact that he'd been broken long before they even met, so maybe he's right.
She can't bear to look at his hands, not yet. She has work to do, yet.
"Of course I did."
Under her breath, she finishes the chant she'd begun hours ago; entreating Lono, the god of healing, to make instruments of her hands. She lifts up scissors with surprisingly steadiness before she makes the first incision to the bandages. They become tinged with a new bloom of crimson, though this time, it isn't his blood. Everything comes with a cost, and she will sacrifice all of herself if that is what is required to heal him.
"Not da Admiral, not da hospital staff... Even da Gods wouldn't stop me from reachin' you, Stephen. Maybe not even you, yaself, could."
~*~
"Forceps."
She hands over the instrument.
"Ten-blade."
She waits to let go until she's sure he's got a grip.
"Spreader."
"Oh my god, Fen. It's a pizza, and I don' even eat dat much, your lines don' have t' be perfect."
The look on his face, she immediately laughs and sets her hand on the back of his wrist.
"I love you."
That peaked brow lift.
"Doesn't mean dat I won't eat you if you don't hand ovah da plate."
He laughs, and maybe her heart flutters a little.
Or it could be hunger pains.
It doesn't matter, he's plucked a slice of mushroom off her half, and feeds it to her.
~*~
Maybe he said her name. Maybe it's just the sensation of his knuckles against the arch of her cheek and the subsequent flinch because she doesn't want him putting even the slightest pressure on his scars. Maybe it's the sound of his heartbeat echoing in her ear and urging hers to match its mostly tranquil pace. Maybe its a far more simple and ultimately more complicated answer than that.
But whatever it is, Beth's lashes flutter. Gives the impression of storm clouds passing over the tropical canopy of her gaze before they lower fully to conceal her eyes, which themselves drop to the vicinity of his feet. Looking down but not away. Never away. Her throat rises and falls with a breath, which leaves her as a self-deprecating little laugh. Not one that curves her lips. Not one that wrinkles the corners of her nose and shows him her teeth. This is softer, much more delicate a thing because she's grasping at an apology. An excuse.
Something she's done a hundred, a thousand, times before. Mostly because she can't bear to shoulder even the idea of his disappointment.
"Sometimes I... I get small kine los' in your eyes."

4 years have passed since the day Boruto and Sarada shared their feelings for each other. 4 years does not feel they have passed together. Now, Boruto and Sarada are almost finished their studies. They just carry out graduation and all their struggles have been completed.
That day, the Uzumaki Family and the Uchiha Family were very proud to see the Son and Daughter wearing that outfit (don't know the name). Tears of happiness rolled down like rain from Hinata's and Sakura's eyes.
Sasuke and Naruto couldn't help but smile when their son saw them. That smile is not an ordinary smile, but a smile that means a father's pride for their son or daughter.
Uzumaki Boruto will get the title "Uzumaki Boruto .S. " and Uchiha Sarada will get the title "Uchiha Sarada S. " also because they are in the same department.
The journey of learning for more than 4 years ended with tears of happiness. Many things they experienced while studying at the University. Starting from kissing accidentally until Sarada is almost pregnant when Boruto and Sarada drink tea which turns out to have been mixed with Sake by someone.
But that was 2 years ago and their parents didn't even know about it. Totally kept a secret because Boruto had not touched Sarada at that time because his friends who realized it immediately separated the two of them.
The Chancellor, who knew about it, asked the police to investigate the case and search for the perpetrators secretly. But so far it has never been found. The culprit seems to have been swallowed up by the Earth along with the evidence.
/==O==\\
Somewhere, Both families are celebrating the success of Boruto and Sarada. "One day, one of you will lead the Central Company. And it seems that the husband will lead." Said Sasuke. "it means?" asked Sarada.
"You and Boruto have been a match for a long time. And it turns out that you two are already dating," said Sakura, which obviously made both Boruto and Sarada shocked. "But we haven't even talked that Sarada and I are dating," said Boruto.
"It doesn't need to be said that we certainly know, all of your activities so far certainly have side effects. Plus Rama's confession to Sasuke has strengthened our suspicions," said Naruto.
"But, the marriage doesn't need to be in a hurry, right, we can wait for them to be over 25 years old," Hinata said. "Starting tomorrow, Uncle will be waiting for you two at the company. I've got a good position for you," said Sasuke.
"It means Naruto's retirement is near, you don't have to work hard anymore Naruto," Hinata said. "Yes, but, as long as I'm still strong I will work. TechConnec needs me too No" said Naruto.
"Unfortunately not so Naruto, many can replace your position. But your existence can not be replaced in my company." Said Sasuke. "That doesn't mean it's the same," said Naruto. "It's up to you, Dobe," said Sasuke.
"Come on, you two are old. Don't act like a child," said Sakura. "You know Sakura, true friends will continue like that until old age" Hinata said. "I can't imagine if one of them is a girl. What will their child be like?" said Sakura.
Boruto and Sarada couldn't help but laugh seeing their parents' interactions, which they hadn't seen in a long time, had changed a lot. "Unfortunately Himawari can't come." Said Sarada. "He's going to take the National Examination. It's impossible if he does." Boruto said.
"A little more Himawari will set foot in the world of lectures. We'll see how she reacts," said Boruto. "Yes, it will be funny, especially if Himawari is dating," said Sarada.
Suddenly Boruto's cellphone rings. "hey Sarada, we'd better go back. Our friends are waiting to take a picture together." Boruto said. "Come on, Mom, Dad, Uncle, Aunt. Let's go first." Said Sarada.
/==O==\\
In the evening, the Uzumaki Family went to the famous Photo Studio in the city. And finally for Photos. They took a photo together after Boruto and Sarada took a photo to display at home.
The first Sarada and Boruto took their own photos in turn then continued with the two of them together in the photo and the third The whole family took a photo together there. But sadly Himawari is not in the photo and it makes her a little sad for sure.
After the photo, they went home. They are staying in the hotel while Boruto and Sarada are still living in their apartment. So the trip home was separate.
/==O==\\
The next day, both families were at the airport just waiting for departure. Due to the fact that the commercial plane flew late that day, Sasuke, who wanted to arrive in Konoha before nightfall, chose to rent a VIP plane.
They were at the airport at 4 am. And then leave at 5 am. Inside the VIP plane, the six of them sat together. Sarada sat with Boruto of course while Sasuke sat with Sakura and Naruto sat with Hinata.
The Long Journey repeats itself for Boruto. Really boring. Plus Boruto left his cell phone in his apartment so he couldn't charge his cellphone on the plane. So he could only sit dreaming.
Sarada who was beside him was seriously reading an electronic book on her smartphone. Boruto looked at the sea below him, his boredom slowly dissipating.
Several hours have passed, Naruto and Hinata seem to have started to get very bored with the long journey. Sakura and Sarada were obviously bored by now. Especially Boruto.
Sasuke was still calm. He was sitting typing something on his laptop.
/==O==\\
Finally, They arrived at Konoha Airport safely. As soon as he got out of the plane, Boruto immediately took a breath and then exhaled. "I miss my hometown" said Boruto.
Getting out of the airport was easy and fast for Sasuke. Moreover, currently they are using VIP planes and do not land on the commercial airstrip. Although the care remains the same. Especially since they landed on a military airstrip.
It was afternoon around 3 o'clock in the city of Konoha. It was a bit quiet at that time because it was still not time to go home from work. Just about to leave the airport, 2 bodyguards were waiting for them. "Good afternoon Mr. Sasuke, welcome back to Konoha" said a bodyguard.
"Yes, please bring my stuff, my wife's stuff and also Sarada's stuff" said Sasuke. "With pleasure sir" said the bodyguard then did Sasuke's order. "What do I need to bring your belongings, Mr. Naruto" said a bodyguard. "No, we can bring it ourselves." said Naruto.
The bodyguard then went to the car and opened the door and also the trunk of the car. After Naruto put some stuff into the trunk the bodyguard asked "do you need a driver".
"No, I can drive myself." said Naruto. "You two can call your friends to pick you up. I'll bring my own car" Sasuke said. "Good sir. Be careful on the road" said a bodyguard.
Shortly after, the Uchiha Family had left Deluan Airport. Then the Bodyguard said goodbye to Naruto to go to call their friend to be picked up.
In the car, the Uzumaki Family had a small talk. "So is this Dad's car now?" asked Boruto. "No, this is a company car. Father's official car" said Naruto. "May I drive, I want to drive for the first time in Konoha." Boruto said.
"You already know how to drive?" said Naruto in amazement. "Yeah, Sarada taught me 3 years ago" said Boruto. "Yes, but. You don't know where our new house is. So dad is driving. You sit quietly in the back" said Boruto.
"So dad now has a house" said Boruto excitedly. "Could it be the official residence?" said Boruto with a slightly lazy tone. "Yes, it's a private house, you think that my father's salary for 4 years working at Sasuke's company is not enough to buy a house, even though it's not big either" said Boruto.
Suddenly, Hinata got out of the car. "What do you want Hinata, we want to go home right?" asked Naruto. "I want to sit with Boruto, there are some things I want to ask" Hinata said. "Okay, come on in. I'm already hungry to eat your food" said Naruto.
"Wow, come to think of it I haven't tasted Mother's Homemade Food for a long time," said Boruto. "Don't think about it Boruto, but you haven't tasted your mother's food for a long time" said Naruto. Hinata who was already sitting in the back seat opened the word "then run the car, we'll go home so mom can cook food for you two" Hinata said.
After that, the Uzumaki Family went home. Hinata asked Boruto to tell the events that they experienced during college. Even though he was embarrassed at first, Boruto also told him everything from the first time he came to the last. Although a little seasoned and some are reduced seasoning.
/==O==\\
Arriving at the house, Naruto, Hinata, and Boruto were greeted by Himawari who was guarded by her grandfather, Hyuuga Hiashi. "You're Back. How was the event. It went smoothly, right?" Hiashi asked. "Yes, of course grandpa." Boruto said.
Himawari immediately hugged her brother. Although this is not the first meeting because every year, the Uchiha and Uzumaki Families must visit Kirigakure to see their children studying in that city.
"You are the first person in our family to enter college. How does that sound, Uzumaki Boruto S. " said Hiashi very happily. "Yes, very suitable, but it seems Boruto you should sleep because tomorrow you will meet Sasuke to talk about work." said Naruto.
"But dad, I haven't eaten yet, have I?" said Boruto. "Oh yeah, I forgot." Said Naruto then turned towards where Hinata was supposed to be. "Looks like your mother didn't forget, that's good" said Naruto.
Not long after, Hinata returned with a slightly disappointed face. "There's only a small amount of food left. Not enough for all of us," Hinata said. "Earlier, many vegetables were wilted and unfit for consumption, so Grandpa just threw them away" said Hiashi.
"Let's order food. How about it?" Hinata asked. "Yeah, I'm hungry too" Naruto said. "Even though tonight I failed to taste Mother's Homemade Food, but there is still tomorrow" said Boruto.
Naruto took out his cellphone and ordered a family portion of food for 6 people
/==O==\\
At the Uchiha residence, when the family came home they were greeted by the workers in the house. There was also Itachi and Rama who had been waiting for their return.
"I thought you were going back to Konoha tomorrow" Sasuke said. "Yes, according to the plan. But I think Rama needs a father figure when he is at Graduation." Said Itachi. Sasuke shook Rama's hand. "Congratulations, you are now a scholar and soon will be a lawyer" said Sasuke.
"Thank you uncle. So Sarada and Boruto are now also Bachelors?" asked Ram. "Sure, you think I'm stupid and can't be a scholar" said Sarada.
"The two of them really can't get along even though they are adults like this" said Itachi. "Sarada and Rama, It's still light level. If you look at Sarada and Boruto, It's already on the Chronic level. Even the smallest things they'll make a fuss about." Said Sasuke when Sarada and Rama were angry with each other and pointed at each other.
Now, the two families were sitting in the living room. Seen several Household Assistants were putting drinks and snacks on the guest table. Sarada and Rama are busy with their respective cellphones.
"Sarada, invite Rama to sit somewhere else. Your father and Uncle Itachi want to talk about business," said Sakura. "Speak. Besides, I'll be working in dad's office soon," said Sarada.
"Sarada, listen to your mother. If we are here it will disturb their conversation," said Rama as he stood up and walked out to the terrace. Sarada also followed Rama after being told a second time by her mother.
On the terrace, the two of them were still focused on their HP. Type then wait and then type again. That's what they do while holding HP. Until suddenly, "It turns out that Boruto was active earlier, Ahh why didn't I chat with him earlier" said Rama.
Sarada looked at Rama for a while then typed with a little mischievous smile. It's been about 5 minutes since Rama sent a message to Boruto via Social Media Connec People (CP). But so far have not received a reply. Even though Boruto is active and still active.
"Why, why didn't Boruto reply to my message. Did he intentionally ignore me?" said Rama. Sarada glanced back at Rama and then typed something on her cellphone. Rama again sent a message to Boruto's account again.
5 more minutes walking but no response from Boruto. He also checked Boruto's profile and then checked his activities. "Wow, it turns out that Boruto lets other people see his activities," said Rama when he saw Boruto's profile. Apparently, Seen there Boruto is actively chatting with Sarada.
"Now I know who is the culprit who made Boruto not reply to my message" said Rama then glanced at Sarada. Sarada also replied by glancing at Rama. "Sarada, you have the heart. I just want to say hello to my friend. Why did you forbid it," said Rama.
"I just want to work on you. It's been a long time since my hands have been ignorant," said Sarada. "Hey Sarada, remember. You will definitely get married in a few years. Don't act like a child," said Rama but Sarada didn't respond. "Poor Boruto later if you marry him. Later, the child and mother will work together on their father," continued Rama.
Sarada knew the meaning of Rama's words. He put down his cellphone and approached Rama. "What do you mean, you still want to nod me" said Sarada angrily. "No, I just want to talk to Boruto for a while. After that you can continue dating my best friend," said Rama.
It almost landed on Rama's face if Sarada's cellphone didn't ring. "Boruto saved you. If he didn't send this message on time, my hand would definitely hit your face" said Sarada.
"Just know Boruto that his girlfriend almost hit his friend's face," said Rama sarcastically. "Why are you doing this. You've been bothering me all this time. I'm jealous, I don't have a boyfriend. There's a lonely tree there. Just go out with that tree," said Sarada at a moderate level of annoyance.
/==O==\\
Bright morning. Boruto wakes up from his sleep and goes straight to the bathroom to take a shower. After bathing, he had breakfast together. The breakfast he now had was completely different from his previous life.
This time they ate together as a family and the food menu was wheat bread which they had never eaten in their previous life. The Uzumaki Family's economy had completely turned 90 degrees.
In fact, Hiashi who is a simple farmer has now become a rice skipper in the village. He has workers and rice fields that cover almost half the village. It was all thanks to Naruto's contribution and Hiashi's hard work.
That morning, Hiashi had to return to the village as soon as the rice fields had to be harvested. And Hiashi had to monitor that harvest time. So, after he had breakfast he went to his pickup car.
/==O==\\
Boruto will follow his father to Sasuke's office. He took a deep breath before getting into the car. This time, his father allowed him to take the car. "I must be able to impress Uncle Sasuke. Yes, I can't lose to Sarada either" Boruto thought then entered the car.
"Do you remember where Sasuke's company is located?" asked Naruto. "Sure, even if I forget, this car's GPS will definitely track and direct me to Central Company." Boruto said. He stepped on the gas and the car started.
The trip was so smooth. Even though that morning the vehicles seemed congested, Konoha City has never experienced a legendary event called traffic jam. If there is a traffic jam, it must be due to an accident or something else, such as a carnival or other performances on the road.
That day is Tuesday. Arriving at the office, Boruto was surprised to see a Techconnec company employee wearing a dark blue suit. But most of those who wear the suit are those who work in the Sasuke Company office. Meanwhile, field workers like Naruto wear clothes in the form of t-shirts and are dark blue in color with Techconnec writing exposed on their backs.
But because Boruto is a leader in the field of field workers, he still wears a suit every Monday and Tuesday. On Wednesday to Friday, He will wear the same clothes as the Field Worker and also wears a Vest.
That day, Boruto came wearing a plain white shirt. The shirt that Sarada gave during Boruto's birthday. "Boruto, you go to Sasuke's room alone. Dad, I have some work to do," said Naruto and left without waiting for Boruto's answer.
Seeing his father leave, Boruto, who was about to ask a question, gave up his intentions and entered the building. A security guard greeted him and then a bodyguard appeared from inside the security post and immediately escorted him and showed the direction towards Sasuke's office.
/==O==\\
In his office, Sasuke is chatting with Sarada while waiting for Boruto to arrive. At that time, Sarada wore clothes that were also given by Boruto during Sarada's birthday.
After a long chat, Sasuke sat down at his desk and typed something on his laptop. Sarada sat in a chair in her father's office while typing something in his office.
Not long after, Sasuke's office door was knocked. After opening it turned out to be Boruto and the Bodyguard earlier. "Good morning Mr. Sasuke, Boruto has arrived," said the bodyguard. "ok, thanks. You can go" Sasuke said.
Sarada then stood up and sat on the available chair in front of Sasuke's desk followed by Boruto. "So what do you want to talk to me about?" asked Boruto. "Not only you, but also Sarada. It's about the position that uncle will delegate to you" said Sasuke.
"You are the only Bachelor's graduates from the world's famous universities, I can't give you a random position in the company." Said Sasuke. Boruto and Sarada also put on a super serious face and watched Sasuke.
"Boruto, you will work in the field of Corporate Communications Technology. And you, Sarada, I really hope you can do well in the field of Computing-Company Communications," said Sasuke.
"I'm a little confused, the Communication Technology Field and the Computing-Communication Field are different in what way?" asked Boruto. "The field of Communication Technology is a field that works on every project related to communication equipment. This field will be fully responsible for the quality of communication systems. For example, making signal tower components." Said Sasuke.
"Meanwhile, the field of Computing-Communication is a field related to the manufacture or support of Software or Hardware for Computer devices or the like in terms of Communication Technology. An example in our company is the manufacture of Prepaid Cards." Sasuke continued.
'It just so happens that the heads of both fields are starting to Age. So it will likely retire in the not too distant future. So you have to be ready to be the representative and also have to be ready to be the chairman," continued Sasuke explaining.
"So our current position is member or deputy?" asked Boruto. "Of course as a Deputy. You need to learn a lot" Sasuke said. After Sasuke explained everything in detail and clearly, Boruto and Sarada were asked to leave.
/==O==\\
In the Office Lobby, Sarada and Boruto were sitting around talking. "So what do you want for lunch?" asked Sarada. "It seems, my stomach is empty" said Boruto. Boruto immediately checked his pants and shirt pockets frantically. "Damn, my wallet seems to be missing" said Boruto.
"This isn't the first time I've heard of it. And it's also not the first time I've said this. Let's eat. I'll pay for it," said Sarada. Boruto can only put on a funny face in front of Sarada as usual. A little chuckle and "yes, it's up to you" said Boruto.
Then, they stood ready to leave the office. A bodyguard approached Sarada. "Do you need anything Miss?" asked the Bodyguard. "Yes, can you please get my car in the parking lot. Black Inova car with plate number 3020" said Sarada while handing over the key. "Or maybe if you're confused, press this button," added Sarada, pointing to a button on the lock.
A few moments of waiting, a new black Inova car with an elegant design was waiting in front of the office. Boruto and Sarada got out of the car. The bodyguard got out of the car and returned the key to Sarada. Sarada then gave it to Boruto.
"again?" said Boruto not accepting if he had to be Sarada's driver all the time. "Yes, again. I'm lazy to drive this afternoon" said Sarada, grinning slightly. Boruto lazily took the key from Sarada's hand and got into the car followed by Sarada.
"Where are we going?" asked Boruto in a slightly angry and annoyed tone. "You just find a suitable place for the two of us to eat" said Sarada. "Don't you remember. The first time I chose the place, we both almost died" said Boruto.
"I even want it to happen again. We can fight together," said Sarada. "Huff, Dead just said magic" said Boruto then started the car. "I heard a new restaurant is opening in this city. Maybe we can eat at that restaurant" said Sarada.
"I don't like eating at restaurants. We just eat at a roadside stall," said Boruto. "It's up to you, we really have to learn to save money. We're not kids anymore who might easily ask our parents for money," said Sarada.
"Yeah, you're right. If I've always rarely asked my parents for money, But, if you do, you must often" said Boruto with a little laugh. "Basically, you really think I only know snacks," said Sarada, looking away. "Haha, you're even funnier when you frown," said Boruto.
/==O==\\
They arrived at a satay stall on the side of the road. Sarada ordered two servings of Sate Rusa. Satay made from animal meat which is quite rare in Konoha. The prices at this warung are also fantastic. Reaching 50 thousand / portion with a total of 15 sticks.
However, for Boruto Deer Meat is meat he is tired of eating. Because, every time his father came home after working on a project in another city, his father would always buy a few kilos of deer meat.
It didn't take long to wait. Two servings of Sate Rusa were in front of them. The tantalizing aroma has shaken Sarada's lust. Sarada really rarely eats satay. Moreover, Sate Rusa with a very tempting aroma like this.
When Boruto wanted to take a skewer, Sarada held her hand "wait Boruto, don't eat yet. I have to take a picture first" said Sarada. "Huff, does it have to be in the photo too?" asked Boruto. Without thinking, Sarada immediately took a selfie with the satay and ignored Boruto who was staring at him. "Tch, Basic Selfiesinism Chronic level." Boruto thought.
After Sarada finished Selfie with Sate, she immediately grabbed Boruto's hand and asked him to take a selfie together. Boruto initially refuses, but Sarada's gaze makes him do it.
After that, they sat quietly again and both Boruto and Sarada took the Skewers. However, suddenly when Boruto and Sarada wanted to take a bite of the Soft Soft Sate, it turned out that someone was patting Boruto's shoulder.
Sarada stopped and stared at the person. Boruto slowly turned towards that person. "You" said Boruto.

Mamun, if there are many mistakes, please understand because I am not a child from the language department. Except MIPA.
How, is it good or even confused. I was also confused when making it. There is a flow error. But if you change it later, it will have an impact on other plots which are indeed the key to the Story of the Poor Boruto Season 2 or Boruto's New Life.
I want to thank for the support of several Readers who may be Authors as well. Among them
The KidsNo OppAi for their support and Bin Ajaib's Short Reviews because the Reviews are the same.

Natsumi for the support and Suggestions. "I will definitely fix and explain again. If it's still wrong, please review again"
Utsukushi Arisa for Her Participation and Suggestions.
And
Namejacko (Guest) On the point which amounts to 2 which is very confusing. To the extent that the Konoha Code Breaking Team sent by Nanadaime was unable to translate the meaning.
And YOGA07 as my trusted partner who has been accompanying me in the online world.
Okay that's it from me. Please review and very much please hold back the disappointment in this chapter.
I'm trying to adjust the above error so it's right on target and doesn't change the key Storyline.

Hey good evening
Can you do Chamber with a non-agent fem reader who works at the cafeteria? Some fluff pls?
:3
earth 1 report no. 1: the first light
Tumblr media
Pairing: Chamber/Vincent Fabron x F!Reader/Existing Character(Jett type of reader)
Warning(s): mentions of reader wearing a dress (I know there are people who aren’t comfortable in wearing dresses, you can ignore that bit), foreshadowing references, Chamber may be a bit OOC but I made him softer in this fic softer than how he usually is, puns
Earth 2 reports (Courtesy of Leon Scott Kennedy):
EARTH 2 - United States Strategic Command Report No. 1: The First Light
*****
EARTH 2 – VALORANT Protocol Report No. 1:
The First Light
A birthday can be sweet without layered cakes or fanfare when you have your own super-fans, when you are confident that you are a darling who does good each day of each year as best you can with the people you think the world of the most. Then you can enjoy your day with an inner glow, the kind that will shine in your eyes. It was a celebration of another year, of another 365 days to cherish in a lifetime.
And as you were here, wearing a f/c dress, letting the smoothness of your skirt flow against the urge of the wind through the open windows of your car, you embraced the notion that such a beloved day could not have been any better when you’ve got the love of your life and your best friend driving you through cities and towns while you sing along to whatever cheesy shit was on the radio. It was like making memories in every city; once you visit each and every one of them again, you for sure wouldn’t but think of you and Vincent.
The smell of coffee shops still whiffed by your nose (passing by them, Vincent kept bragging about how their coffee can never compete with yours!), the tip still feeling a tad bit sticky from the jest of a cupcake icing. Your skin tingled from Vincent’s occasional touch on your skin, and your heart melted once you’ve found your safe haven: alone in the hills beyond the near sunset.
A meal of a couple gourmet sandwiches, wine, and a few appetizers were heaven on your tongue, a claim backed up by the feel of satisfaction in your stomach, and Vincent’s self-manufactured phone was happily shuffling through music of varying styles and genres, a mixture of emotions congregating beneath every step of a beat. When his playlist had hit bingo with a song he was certain you loved with your head and heart, he laid hold of your shy hand in his before spinning you around to the direction of the whispering breeze.
Vincent was left smitten by how one you were with the air; a sophisticated zephyr tiptoeing against the clouds with the intricacy of a gliding leaf and the fidelity of a flitting bird. In his mind perhaps, maybe you were the wind! Though it was a subjective fact, the lightness of you against him was beginning to prove his point a lot more than he thought possible.
As you palliated with the melody, Vincent’s gaze didn’t go by unnoticed by you.
“What’s got you looking at me like that, handsome?” You said as you spun around to face him before smoothly grazing your fingers at the nape of his neck. He replied, “your beauty, mademoiselle,” with a tempting smile pulling at his lips.
“Well, you need to stop at some point or else you’ll end up falling deep for me.”
“Perhaps, I would not mind it, no?” All four walls eventually gave in and everything felt hot all of a sudden. The feeling of your rising heat against his chest gave him a sense of pride knowing that a few prodding here and there could make you crumble in front of him.
“Okay, now you gotta stop. I’ll die right here, right now if you continue.” Vincent placed his chin on the crown of your head as he wrapped his arms around you, still swaying you with the music. ‘Why? Do I fluster you, mademoiselle?”
“Mmm… And you very well know that, you smooth fucker.”
“I feel very honored, my darling, but I doubt I could compete with that very sweet drawing in my coffee that you made!”
The last few hours ran like this, a few words and innuendos swinging back and forth between you two. The moon was beginning to peek in between darkening clouds along with a few evening stars teasing to support the tiny bit of light the moon was providing you with. The last of the sun, flanking right behind you, bid its interim goodbye as it made way for the reigning queen of the night.
Alas, that meant the day has come to an end. It went by too quickly in your opinion, it was like you ran through fast times without ever noticing everything dashing with you. Everything that has happened that day just felt so good it almost made you want to drown in those moments for a given second. Inevitably, you cursed the clock for the mortality of the day.
As you and Vincent were packing your things up, a circle of light began to shadow beneath you and expand to take up the whole kilometers of area. You were addled by the sudden change of brightness and when you and Chamber looked up, white was choking the entirety of the sky.
You became hypnotized by it, pacing thoughts meeting together in a rendezvous at every point in your head. The clarity of the light became a trademark in your eyes. It grew less and less mundane to you and like a strike of a lightning, the heavens pummeled a beam of light to the ground before the fog in your head ebbed away in sight; a tour de force in a far off distance.
“Y/N!”

I don’t want to be a huge asshole, but...
There are a lot of people trying to find a modicum of positivity in the finale. It’s not about this Destiel-Bibro war that’s happened over the years, it’s not about Cas, it’s not about any of the superficial drama. This finale was the weirdest mixture of OOC and in character writing I have ever seen. 
Things that are in character: 
The brothers put each other first. They are each other’s safe place and stability. Up until the very end. Sam respected Dean’s wishes, stayed with him in his last moments, and let him go gracefully. Sam even went on and had a full life so Dean’s sacrifices weren’t in vain. 
For Dean, Heaven wasn’t perfect without Sam there. And he had this huge sense of relief and happiness when Sam arrived. 
Jack deconstructed the walls of Heaven so that it was a vast place where everyone could be together. They weren’t living out their “best memories” anymore. They were creating new memories eternally with each other. And Bobby recognizing that Jack is like Dean’s son by saying, “That boy of yours...” 
Cas helped build the Heaven that he always dreamed of. Cas always had such a high standard for Heaven, and it always fell short. He helped Jack build a home that was warm and comforting and beautiful and open and loving and true. Everything Cas stood for. 
Bobby, the man Dean adopted as his father, was there to share a beer with him (just like Dean shared with his dad in his childhood). And Bobby was happy and confirmed that Dean is in a Heaven he deserves. 
Sam mourning Dean’s death for the rest of his life, but also living his life to honor Dean. Classic Sam. 
Dean using his last moments to tell Sam how much he loves him and how proud he is. Sam deserved to hear that because we all know Sam looked at Dean as a parental figure. 
Things that are OOC:
Sam not marrying Eileen. The show created this HUGE story arc around Sam and Eileen and their real love and connection. And then they shoot this finale and couldn’t even get an actress that looked like Eileen to stand it the blurry background. Like, I don’t care what you say, it’s NOT open to interpretation. Sam did not end up with Eileen. All of you people who are Sam stans, who say you want your character to be happy and live a full life should be livid. Sam ending up with Eileen wouldn’t have canceled out the fact that Dean was/is his number one person. Dean gave his blessing for Eileen, and he loved her and welcomed her into their lives because he knew Sam loved her and had a genuine connection with her. Having them together would not have ruined the ending in any way. Sam still could have ended up with Dean on that bridge. 
Tumblr media
That woman with the blonde/light brown hair is NOT Eileen. They couldn’t even get an actress with dark brown hair to keep hope alive that they ended up together. Absolutely awful. 
Dean just accepting Cas’ death and not even talking about it, other than to say, “Yeah I think about em’ too.” I don’t care if you don’t believe in Destiel or that the love was reciprocated. Dean EXCLUSIVELY said multiple times that Cas is a member of their family and a brother to the boys. He said the words, “YOU”RE MY BEST FRIEND.” I’m not saying Dean should have scarified himself to go pull Cas out of the Empty (because we had 40 minutes to wrap up 15 years). But the fact that Dean was like: I’m gonna eat some pie and just not acknowledge any feelings or thoughts and act like nothing ever happened is SO OOC. If your best friend died tragically, you’d have something to say about it or act like you had something to say about it. And that’s not to say I wanted Dean to be miserable and hurting. I’m happy he got a dog and found some normalcy. But they lost SO many people, and he’s just walking around cool as a cucumber? When every other season/episode where they lost someone important to Dean he was a mess. And I’m not just talking about Cas- we all obviously know how Dean behaved when Cas died/was missing/Lucifer was controlling him. But even when Jo and Ellen died. Even when Mary died. Even when Bobby died. Even when John died. Even when Crowley died. Even when Jack died, Dean was shown hurting. Suddenly everything is cool and normal there’s no pain or anything? The fuck? A brief moment of acknowledgement. That’s all it needed.
I will never forgive the writers for ending Dean’s story that way. A rusty nail impaling him (probably in his pulmonary arteries/aorta based on the angle) on some random hunt after he finally exhaled the episode before and said, “We’re finally free.” He sacrificed his ENTIRE childhood and life for his brother and the world and so many other people, and he didn't even get to enjoy being a human on the Earth and living a life for more than a week. What! Dean was always a character filled with tragedy, and yeah, maybe he did have to die. You can make that argument. But like that?! AND. AND! Sam held a funeral for Dean and DIDN’T INVITE ANYONE! What!!! No one was there to toast to Dean and share their memories and give him the send-off he deserved. Sam just burned his body alone. Never. That would have NEVER happened. Sam loved Dean SO much and looked up to him and thought the world of him. Dean was his big brother who was fearless and strong and the best hunter on this Earth (and probably every other planet), and he didn’t celebrate his life in the end? 
Cas not showing up in Heaven is absolutely insane. INSANE. It doesn’t matter what you think of their relationship, the show has proven that Cas is important to Dean (even if you think Cas is way at the bottom of the list, he’s on it!). Dean’s ideal retirement/endgame was him, Sam, and Cas on a beach, drinking cocktails, with hula girls. That was the future Dean wanted for him and his family. And you’re telling me that Cas helped Jack build the best version of Heaven possible, and the minute Dean Winchester arrived Cas wasn’t there to greet him. Even just to say “Hello, Dean.” Even call Dean’s phone and say, “Welcome home.” Cas would have been the one greeting Dean in Heaven, with Bobby. Requited or not, it’s canon that Cas is in love with Dean. You don’t just ignore the opportunity to see the person you’re in love with. And... and! Even if Cas didn’t greet Dean in Heaven immediately, he would have appeared in the Impala during the drive. He would have met the brothers on the bridge to welcome them both home. Cas loved Sam too. He would have been there. The three boys together again. Team Free Will!  
I love Cas, and I know a lot of Cas stans feel buried and betrayed and hurt over the show doing a “is he there or isn’t he?” thing. And that is completely valid. I can’t even express to you how sorry I am that so many of us in the fandom are hurting. But I know this show. And this show has always made it clear that it was/is always about two brothers. Fine. But Dean Winchester, the most caring and loving human in the entire universe, deserved better. I am so sick to my stomach that Dean’s whole life was him convinced that there was only one way for his story to end and it was him dying tragically. For years he never let himself even entertain the thought of living a life because he 1) didn’t think he deserved that or was worth it 2) it just wasn’t in the cards. We watched Dean grow so much, SO MUCH, that we finally saw him talking about the future and having hope for the future. And yeah, maybe he wouldn’t get the future he talked about with the retirement on the beach, but he would have lived long enough to experience life outside of just “playing whack-a-mole” and being God’s favorite story and puppet. Dean didn’t even get to enjoy his freedom and humanity. They took a character that they purposefully pushed through so many stages of character development to attain hope and faith and self-worth and promise, and killed him. 
What the fuck!

"i hope we kiss goodnight"
Pairing: Noah Marshall x Dan Pierce
Rating: T
Word Count: 6.1k Summary: Halloween Night is famous for the spooky stories and violent ends, but what if a romance blossomed instead?
Author's Note: First of all, happy halloween to anyone who celebrates it! These past few weeks I've been busy brainstorming ideas for this, and managed to finish it for tonight. This fic takes place in an AU where the ILITW gang never met Redfield, so Jane's alive and everyone's a little more stable, but there is still some mild angst thrown in. The characters may seem a little OOC, so I apologise if it seems that way to you. English isn't my first language, so there might be a few screw ups. I hope you enjoy reading this, reblogs and feedback are heavily appreciated!
Halloween night was a lively night for Westchester, with all the spooky stuff Oregon’s got, it would be a shame if the small town missed out on them.
But it wasn’t the prime hour for trick or treating, partying or marathoning horror movies just yet. It was six in the afternoon, and a pair of siblings were in a room. The younger one, Jane, sat on a desk chair that has seen better years, and the older one, Noah, was laying down on the bed, seemingly blabbing on about something.
“.. He said he was matching with the football team again this year, as like a goodbye gift or something. Knowing him though, he’s gonna look like such a dork--” “Noah,” Jane interrupted.
“Hm?”
“You’ve been rambling about Dan for the past hour.”
Noah sat up, face now in shock, “Shit.. Have I?”. Jane nodded, having a small smirk on her face. It wasn’t the first time Noah’s done this, going on and on about Dan, but he’s been doing this for literal years, even before he admitted to having a massive crush on him to Jane back in sophomore year.. They were now seniors. Jane would be lying if she said she wasn’t tired of Noah’s obvious pining.
Who even was Dan? He was formerly known as Westchester’s High “Star Quarterback”, but he recently dropped football to focus on his dream career. He’s been Noah’s best friend since kindergarten, watching Noah go through the stupidest phases of his life such as his emo phase, still staying by his side to this day. Obviously, he’s got good ties with his other friends: Stacy, Lily, Ava, Andy, Lucas, Devon and Jane, but everyone in that group would agree that Dan and Noah had a really close, genuine bond. They brought out the best of each other, respecting the other’s boundaries yet occasionally going a little out of their comfort zone, like when Noah dragged Dan to roller coasters and haunted house attractions, or when Dan taught Noah how to catch frogs and bugs, they never left the other’s side during those events, and it wasn’t like they were planning to anyways.
Noah liked a lot about Dan. From his looks to his personality, but he understood Dan had flaws too, he was stubborn and too empathetic for his own good, and Noah was hot tempered and impatient, it was only natural for them to fight here and there. Even then, their banter never got extreme, and they were able to talk it out. That’s one of the many things Noah liked about Dan, that he doesn’t test Noah’s patience, that when Noah’s mad he gives him space, handing him small things he could distract himself with to divert from his anger, and they worked.
Noah didn’t see himself as someone that was super likeable. He liked to think he was bearable, but that’s about it. He never saw himself being Dan’s boyfriend in real life, he already got shittalked over his appearance and behaviour by the cheerleaders, he’d rather not deal with a bunch of homophobes like Ben and Cody. But he didn’t have to be open of course, but Dan was probably not even that into him.
“Heellloooo? Earth to Noah? What’s goin’ on in that brain of yours now, hm?” Intervened Jan once more. Noah blinked at her, brushing her off. “S’none of your business. Don’t you need to get into your costume?”
“Oh shit, you’re right-- We’ve gotta get ready super early since we’re walking all the way to Stacy’s place.” “Yeah, and half of the group already snagged Lucas’ car.” “.. Well, maybe there are other options?”
Noah tilted his head, raising a brow. Jane snickered lightly. “Well, y’know.. Dan got his driver’s license like.. almost a year ago, soo..”
“No.” Noah shook his head, his cheeks reddening lightly. “He’s busy, and probably driving his former teammates over.” “You don’t know that until you ask him, you stubborn wuss!” Jane argued, lightly nudging her brother’s arm. He avoided eye contact, huffing. “C’mon, literally everyone knows Dan has the biggest soft spot for you, if he does reject your offer he’ll do it nicely..”
“That sure makes me feel a million times better, thanks Jane.” Noah remarked sarcastically, rolling his eyes. Jane pouted, getting up from her seat.
“Look, just ask, okay? If you don’t, then I will do it for you--” “Do not.” “Then ask Dan already! It’s not like you’re asking him on a date yet, jeez!” Jane got out of Noah’s room, leaving her brother sitting on his bed. He grabbed his phone, opening his messages.
Just ask.. He can do that. He’s done it before, so why is he so nervous now? He’s been in Dan’s car like.. once before, no big deal. Noah nodded, typing away his question.
‘hey was wondering if youre able to give me and jane a ride to stacys place?’
And the message was sent! Noah stared blankly at his phone screen for a bit, to see if Dan would respond immediately, to which.. He didn’t. Noah didn’t want to ponder on it for too long, so he put his phone down, getting up and heading to his closet, rummaging through it to find the same halloween costume he’s worn since sophomore year: a white bloody shirt with some baggy ripped jeans and a worn out jacket that is still oversized for him for whatever reason.
As he changed into the bloody shirt, his phone pinged from across the room. He decided to ignore it for a bit until after he got changed, out of convenience. He changed his pair of pants and grabbed the worn out jacket, plopping it onto the bed. Once he was finished, he finally snatched his phone, checking the notification.
‘oh im up for that, dont worry. devs coming along, is that alright?’
A sigh of relief escaped Noah.
‘yeah thats cool. sorry if it was sudden’
‘it wasnt lol we’ve still got like 2 hours’
‘well i already got ready if that tells you anything’
‘lol excited?’
‘you bet’
He was back with his obvious sarcasm, his friends’ are long used to it, so it wasn’t new, especially for Dan. He wasn’t one for parties, but being in a shitty place with his friends was better than being on his own. He didn’t like being alone much, but it’s a feeling he’s grown used to when he’s at home.
Ugh, why was Noah feeling sappy right now? He’s going to a party, he shouldn’t bring his own mood down, he was just.. nervous. He’s done this lots of times, hanging out with Dan, why is it that he’s getting nervous now?
He checked his phone, seeing nothing new, and shut it off once more. Maybe he’ll make himself something before he leaves.. Yeah, sounds good.
...
Noah headed down the kitchen, getting out ingredients for a grilled cheese sandwich. He turned on his stove, plopping a piece of bread onto a butter covered pan. He stood there, deadpan, as the bread was being lightly toasted.
“Noaaahh..” A voice called out from upstairs. Noah looked over, getting greeted with a familiar face.
Jane stood up the staircase with a grin, wearing a ripoff ghostbusters costume they got for like.. 10 bucks at a small store nearby.
“Nice costume. Matching with Devon again?” “Yep, Lily’s matching with us too. Whatcha making over there?” Jane said, walking down the steps. “Grilled cheese.” Noah responded, flipping over the lightly toasted piece of bread, planting a slice of cheese on top of it.
“Ah, the classic.. You know who’d enjoy it though?”
“Pfft, who? Pretty sure Mom’s lactose intolerant.”
Jane snorted, “I was gonna say mee..!” She arrived at the kitchen, leaning against the counter. “Gimme a bite-”
“Tch, no way- This sandwich is mine, make your own.” “You’re so mean, I can’t even cook that well.” “... Oh right, forgot that you and Devon somehow set off the smoke alarm making pasta.” “It was a one time thing, Noah. Besides, it happened…”
“4 months ago.” “4 months ago?!” Jane seemed bewildered, Noah chuckled, flipping the second piece of toast and planting it on top of the piece of bread with cheese. Jane’s bewildered expression turned into one of curiosity as she looked at Noah.
“So.. Did you ask him?”
“Hm?”
“Ask Dan to take us to Stace’s place, silly.” Jane lightly grinned. Noah blushed a little, lightly nodding. “Well, what did he say?”
“He said he can, Devon’s coming along with us too.” Jane gasped, now grinning widely, “Excited to see them again?”
“Uh, duh? They’ve been sick for like two weeks and I miss hanging out with them..”
“Knowing you two, you guys are just gonna play pranks on me.” “We’re playing cupid right now, Noah. Pranks can wait.” Jane winked, to which her brother blushed in response. Noah preferred not having anyone getting involved with his love life, and Jane respected that, though she does give Noah a nudge forward here and there when he’s being too stubborn for his own good.
On other news, Noah put his grilled cheese sandwich on a plate. The smell was one of nostalgia, as he made these years ago when their parents weren’t home. He still remembered the happiness in Jane’s eyes back when he made these, Noah likes to think she still expresses the same joy.
He cut the sandwich into two triangular halves, silently offering Jane the other half. Jane’s smile softened as she accepted it, Noah never liked hoarding his food for himself, and she’s grown used to that. It was a nice gesture, his food was amazing.
They ate the sandwiches together in the kitchen, enjoying the peace and quiet…
“Reminds me of when you were just a young boy.. Look at you now, Bob the Builder.” “Pfft, mom.. It’s not bad.” “I know, darling, I think it looks great on you.” The lady adjusted the young man’s plastic hat. “Go tell Picard your goodbyes before picking your friends up, m’kay?” A cat approached the young man, gently nudging his leg. He knelt down, petting his cat, soft smile on his face.
“See you later, buddy, I’ll miss you.”
“Don’t be back too late, Dan.” The lady let out. “I won’t.”
“And if Noah made something, do send it back here.”
“Not if I down it first.” Dan chuckled, getting up, adjusting his suspenders. He waved his mom and Picard another goodbye before exiting his house, getting into his car.
Getting in, he let out a deep breath. Dan was a little nervous, he’ll admit, but he refuses to accept why he was even nervous in the first place.
Who was Noah? Westchester High never seemed to care about him much, but Noah Marshall was considered a pretty quiet guy. Once you got to know him, he’d reveal himself as a passionate guy who was a sweetheart really, yet his sarcasm was strong, but he never meant any hard feelings. He’s got dreams, and Dan wants to see him succeed. Him and Noah were super close, he considered himself closer to Noah than Devon, which was a bit of a deal.
Noah’s dealt with Dan through his dumbest and lowest moments, like that one time he decided to get drunk because he couldn’t handle his exam stress only to have Noah sitting beside him in the bathroom as he threw up, or when Dan was really into superheroes as a kid and dragged Noah along to every movie premiere.
Despite all the good things about Noah, like his personality and some of his physical features, he had his flaws too. Dan tries his best to deal with them calmly, but he was stubborn, and Noah was impatient. Fights break out, but Dan never breaks Noah’s patience, he lets the other take time for himself, even if he’s equally as mad.
He shook his head, fastening his seatbelt and starting his car. He got onto the road, driving off to Devon’s place. He had the radio on, but the stuff in it was never that good. He usually just listened to video game soundtracks or the occasional alternative, sometimes he’d check out what Noah liked, and he’d like it too..
Dan sighed. Despite how he looks, he could never see himself being Noah's partner. He’s been hopelessly pining for him for years, he doubted anything would change anytime soon. He was likeable, Noah liked him, but definitely not in that way. But part of Dan still had that little hope that maybe his feelings were mutual.
.. Gosh, was the car getting hot, or was Dan’s face just awfully warm? He knew the answer, but no way was he going to fully accept it.
In other news, he was already in the woods, it was just a matter of time before he reached Devon’s place. He sometimes wondered why they lived all the way in the woods, which seemed a little inconvenient, but at least Dan got to entertain himself a bunch as a kid.
Talking about Devon’s place, he already got to the small neighbourhood it resided in. He parked himself, checking his surroundings before getting out of the car. As he took a few steps forward, he suddenly got greeted with loud barking from a nearby house.
“Cool it, girl-” A man’s voice called, possibly talking to the dog. Dan shrugged, scanning the area once more.
“Dan?” A familiar voice let out.
“Devon? Is that you?” “Oh my god.. Pfft.” Devon came into Dan’s view, wearing a ghostbusters’ outfit that seemed straight out of the package. It was clear they were holding in their laughter when they saw Dan’s costume. Dan simply stood still, a slightly awkward smile on his face.
“Can’t wait to see the rest of the team, you look so dorky.” Devon approached Dan, nudging his shoulder, “Where’s our ride?”
“Oh, right over there-” Dan pointed at his car only a few steps away, Devon simply nodded in response, heading towards the car, “Hold on, I’ve got the keys!”
Dan unlocked the car, approaching it as Devon got in the passenger’s seat. Eventually Dan got in as well, shutting the door beside him and fastening his seatbelt once more.
“Man, this party’s gonna rock, I know it.” “.. Yeah, I think it’ll be nice. You’re matching with someone too, right?” “Yep, Jane and Lily, I was gonna drag Ava in too but she was against it and decided to be a dead witch. Andy said he’d offer to be the ghost from ghostbusters, and I don’t know if he’s joking or not..”
Dan shrugged, smiling, “Guess we’ll see?”. Devon nodded, smiling back. Dan started the car once more, driving off the neighbourhood and into the woods once more.
“I know Stacy’s place is far, but you came to pick me up a bit early. What’s up with that?” Devon asked, glancing over at Dan. Dan’s face flushed a little.
“Ah well, actually- I’m picking someone else up. The decision was a little last minute, but I didn’t mind so-” “Oh? Who?”
Dan gulped, definitely aware he was never living this down, “... Noah. And Jane too, obviously--”
Devon laughed, nudging Dan lightly, “You’re such a softie for Noah, man. Did you offer a ride or something?” “He was the one that asked, actually.” “Oh my god, you’re the biggest softies for each other.” “Lucas is picking up like tons of people, I’m sure I was just a last resort-”
Devon sighed, rolling their eyes as Dan took a turn.
“Noah never sees you as a last resort, we both know that.”
“Well, maybe not a lot, but- Uhm-” Dan huffed, “Okay, I’ve got nothing.” “At least you’re honest, Daniel.” “Please don’t throw my full name in casually, it’s like you’re gonna lecture me.” “Pfft, chill dude. I’m just stating facts. Look..” As Devon started, Dan took another turn that led to a small suburban neighbourhood.
“I won’t pressure you, but you sure you don’t want to shoot your shot soon?” “Hm?” Dan raised a brow.
“You’ve been crushing on Noah for as long as I can remember. I’m not saying that you should do it tonight, but maybe ask him out at.. Some point?”
Dan went silent, most likely in thought, as he parked his car near one of the houses in the small neighbourhood. “I’ll.. maybe consider.” Devon smiled, “I’ll take that. Also, speak of the devil-” Devon pointed at the two familiar faces approaching the car. Dan unlocked his car as he watched along with Devon. Suddenly, the sound of two of the car doors clicking, along with two people rummaging in.
“Dev! It’s been like, forever! Your roots are showing too, y’know.” The redhead let out, leaning towards Devon’s seat. “It hasn’t been that long, Jane. As for the roots thing, I’m getting that worked on..” As Devon and Jane chatted amongst themselves the quieter one of the two guests looked over at Dan, silent for a moment.
“.. You clean up pretty nice.” The quiet one said, a small smirk forming on their face. Dan looked away basfully, chuckling.
“Thanks.” “Tsk, what are you even building anyways?” “Maybe a diner of some sort, who knows..” It was the other’s turn to look away bashfully, blushing, but a small smile formed on their face. Dan returned the smile, “Hit a nerve there, Noah?” “Like you’ll know. Start the car already..” Despite Noah’s words, he still had a small smile on his face as he leaned back to his seat, fastening his seatbelt. Jane did the same, still chatting with Devon. Dan started the car once more, driving off from the small neighbourhood.
“Ooh! I love this song! Can you turn it up?” Jane let out, leaning forward again as Devon turned up the volume, bobbing their head to the rhythm of the song. Dan and Noah sat idly, giving each other a look of mutual disinterest.
They did that sometimes, these little habits of giving each other a look or doing a small gesture, it was stuff like that that proved their closeness outside of their interactions. They were both pretty quiet around the group, so most of their interactions happened when it was just the two of them, it was comforting in a way. They could be vulnerable around each other without being judged. Obviously, they were comfortable enough to be vulnerable around some of the others, but Dan was definitely the most comfortable around Noah, as he felt like Noah.. related to him the most in a sense? Even Devon thought the two were pretty similar overall, so it definitely wasn’t just a him only thing.
Dan finally managed to get to Stacy’s place in a short span of time, Jane and Devon seemed to be having in the car ride, he’d like to think Noah also had his fair share of fun, even if he was quiet for most of the ride.
He parked the car in a safe place, only a few hundred metres from Stacy’s house, nothing the four of them couldn’t handle. He stopped the car, unfastening his seatbelt and getting off. By the time everyone got off, Devon and Jane already were way ahead of him, leaving him and Noah alone.
“They’re certainly in a good mood, huh?” “You know how they are, some things never change.”
“Pfft, true. Wanna go in together?” Noah asked nonchalantly, standing beside Dan. Dan nodded, smiling, “Sure. Would be pointless not to, we’re already next to each other.” He took a few steps forward, Noah managed to catch up quickly.
They walked together in silence, Noah having his hands in his pockets as Dan adjusted and dusted off his costume. In no time, they already arrived at Stacy’s front door.
“Not it.” Noah said, glancing over at Dan.
“You’re acting as if you’re in trouble.. You’re fine, man. Here, I’ll go first.” Dan responded, taking a few steps forward, motioning to Noah to follow behind him, to which he did. Dan knocked on the door, getting an almost immediate response.
“I was wondering when you two were gonna show up! I thought Jane and Devon were lying about you coming along, geez..” said a feminine voice, letting the two boys in.
“Sorry about that, Stace. They were already steps ahead of us by the time I parked the car.” “It’s okay, I figured.. Oh yeah, Jack and Carlos are over there if you wanna meet up with them.” Stacy pointed at two guys standing near the stairs. Dan nodded, waving Stacy and Noah a goodbye as he approached the two.
Noah waved back, glancing at Dan as he chatted among his teammates before taking a few steps inside.
“There’s some snacks and drinks in the kitchen, unless you plan on staring at Dan the whole time.”
“Shut up.” Noah responded, furrowing his brows. He didn’t want to be teased by Stacy for long, so he walked away before she could talk back to him. Stacy rolled her eyes, going back to welcoming in more guests.
Luckily for Noah, there were quite a ton of snacks and drinks he could choose from. He got himself a cup, pouring himself some coke, afterwards munching on some of the candy in the candy bowl. He finally had a moment to himself, not having to worry about being made fun of to death just for a few minutes.
Unfortunately, his eyes decided to subconsciously glance at Dan once more, noticing one of his teammates ruffling his hair as he grinned, blushing lightly. Noah’s eyes widened for a second before looking away, munching on the candy in his mouth a bit more slowly.
It’s not unusual for Dan’s teammates to be affectionate through actions, he’s seen them do these types of things to him every now and then back when Dan was still in the team. It always kind of bothered him though, but he didn’t want to be mean about it. Dan seemed to not mind it so he shouldn’t mind it either, right? Noah wished that was the case.
He scoffed, a look of annoyance forming on his face. Noah shouldn’t feel like this, he’s happy Dan has people he enjoys being with, but sometimes he just.. Gets jealous. It’s natural, but it doesn’t mean it’s good. He took a sip of his drink, wanting to think about literally anything but that interaction. Like.. How fancy looking the lamp next to the couch is. Yeah, that’ll do it.
Footsteps neared his direction, but he brushed it off as someone trying to get the snacks as well. Eventually, a figure stood next to him. He ignored it, staring at his drink, frustrated expression still on his face.
“You okay?” The figure spoke.
“Swell.” Noah’s voice was hoarse, it was obvious he was annoyed at this rate.
“Well whatever happened between you and that drink did not end well. Noah, look at me.” The voice responded, and Noah looked up, shoulders slightly jolting once he made eye-contact with Devon. “Something ruined your mood, I noticed from across the room.”
“Nothing happened, Dev. Shouldn’t you be with Jane?” “She’s with Ava and Lily. Seriously dude, what’s bothering you? You don’t need to tell me, but maybe letting out will make you feel better.”
Noah sighed, rolling his eyes. He swirled his drink around for a bit before taking another swig of it. Devon stood idly, waiting for a response.
“I’m uh.. Tch, forget it.” “Noah..” Devon frowned, crossing their arms, but still willing to be patient with Noah.
“I just.. Maybe I’m a bit jealous.” The last word came out a lot quieter than the rest. Devon simply patted Noah’s shoulder. He didn’t shoo them away.
“Noah, it’s okay to feel jealous. Happens to the best of us. But Dan does put you on a really high priority, y’know.” “Yeah, but that doesn’t erase the fact that his teammates just bother me sometimes. Seriously, I don’t get why they’re so touchy feely with him-!” “Hey, chill for a second. Everyone expresses affection differently, and it’s not like they have much time left with Dan. Trust me, they won’t snag him for themselves.”
Noah huffed. “.. Dan seems to like it. I’m happy he does, but..” “You don’t feel like Dan’s as happy when he’s with you?”
Noah slowly nodded, taking a small swig of his drink. Devon let out a lighthearted chuckle, “You’re sometimes just as stubborn as he is, geez.” “The hell’s that supposed to mean?”
“It means you’re wrong. You should hear all the stuff Dan says about, he could talk about you for hours.” Devon said, smiling, “He cares about you a lot, more than his teammates. And I know the feeling’s mutual.” Noah’s frustrated expression softened, now curious if anything, “What does he say about me?” “Too many things, we’d be here all day. They’re all nice, though, if that’s what you’re worried about.” Noah blushed, taking the last sip of his drink and putting his cup down. Devon kept a smile on their face, munching on some of the candy.
“You’ve got all these chances to maybe.. ask him out. Maybe not tonight, but you should definitely tell him how you feel soon.” Devon shrugged.
“I.. might consider. Not sure how I’ll do it, though.” “I’m sure you’ll be a pro at it.”
Noah scoffed, but smirked ever so slightly. “You’re a bad liar.” Devon simply giggled, pouring themself a drink. He headed towards the backdoor, one hand in his pockets and the other reaching the door handle.
“Where are you off to?” asked Devon, perking up. Noah glanced back at Devon, shrugging, “Getting some fresh air. It’s already starting to get a bit lively.” He pointed at what seemed to be a dance battle happening between the cheerleaders and jocks, to which Devon snorted at. They simply nodded, giving Noah a wave as he opened the backdoor.
Dan’s teammates were long gone now, busy challenging the cheerleaders to a dance battle. He was glad he was stuck in the sidelines, because the battle was.. certainly going. He fiddled around with his hat now in his hands, since it was a bit of a hassle to keep it on.
“Bleuhghh, Danieelll..” A voice called out from the steps. Confused, Dan turned around, immediately getting jumpscared by whatever green monstrosity he just laid eyes upon. Whoever was underneath the costume of the ‘green monstrosity’ snickered.
“Gotcha! Happy Halloween, Bob the Builder. Do you like my costume?” said the voice, revealing itself to be Andy. He set his costume prop down, now actually showing his face and body. He was wearing a plain black shirt along with dark green pants, to sort of match with his costume instead of wearing neon green leggings.
“It’s terribly perfect for Halloween, Andy.” “I know right! Scared the crap out of Jane earlier, so much for being a ghostbuster, huh?” Both of the boys chuckled, grinning.
Dan observed the room once more, noticing Noah and Devon talking from afar. Or at least, telling each other goodbye before Noah opened the backdoor, leaving Devon to watch the battle happening not too far from them.
“Oh right..” Andy mumbled, a look of realisation on his face. Dan glanced at Andy, raising a brow.
“How’s the crush thing going?” Andy asked, tilting his head as he looked back at Dan. Dan simply shrugged in response, scratching the back of his neck.
“Not sure.. I’m working on it.” “Ogling at Noah isn’t really doing anything.”
Dan blushed in response, looking away. “I’m not staring at him, geez..” “You just were though?” Andy replied, a confused expression forming on his face. Dan let out a sigh, crossing his arms, one hand still holding his hat.
“Okay, maybe I happened to steal a glance at him.. That’s it, though.” He was being honest, he wasn’t staring at Noah for that long, he just happened to catch him leaving the party, that’s all. Andy nodded very slowly in response, squinting at Dan.
“Well, anyways.. Did you see Lucas’ costume? He actually dressed up for Halloween!”
“Wait, seriously?” “Yeah! Hold on, let me find him..” Andy scanned the area. It took him a bit but eventually he pointed at something, face lightening up. “There’s the man of the hour! LUCAS!”
Andy grabbed Dan’s hand and approached the person who was seemingly dressed up as a.. Pirate?
“What was the inspiration?” Dan blurted out, slightly surprised over Lucas’ costume choice. He quickly covered his mouth, embarrassed over the sudden question he just asked. Lucas turned around, facing Dan, simply chuckling in response.
“Since it will be my last year attending high school, I thought I should go all out. Of course, I didn’t want to do anything bizarre, so I went with an outfit that’d be the most.. ‘unexpected’ of me to wear?”
“So you went with a pirate?” Andy responded.
“Yep, the Theatre Club inspired me.” Lucas replied, smiling proudly. Dan and Andy glanced at each other, then back at Lucas, shrugging.
“Both of you have pretty good outfits too. I saw Andy’s earlier while picking him up, I’d definitely give it a prize of some kind. You and the football team put in a lot of effort too, Dan.” Lucas continued, taking a small sip of his drink.
“Dude, I’d give you like.. Solid third place. Just because of how unexpected you actually dressing up is.” Andy said, eating up some of the candy next to Lucas. Lucas and Andy kept talking, but Dan stopped paying attention for a bit now, occasionally glancing at the backdoor nearby. Eventually, after a few more minutes passed by, Dan decided to take his leave.
“I’ll go take a breather.” He let out, taking a few steps towards the backdoor.
“We’ll see you in a few?” asked Lucas, slightly tilting his head, to which Dan nodded in response. He headed, getting greeted with the fresh breeze of the autumn night.
Dan looked around the small outdoor patio, noticing not one single person outside, excluding a lone figure sitting on the far right on one of the seats. It was a bit dark out, so Dan couldn’t see their face well, but he instantly knew who it was already.
“Noah?” He called out, facing the figure. He heard a small shuffle before he finally got a response, “Yeah?”
He smiled, approaching the far right until he finally saw Noah’s face looking at him. He sat down next to him. Noah softly smiled back, still sharing a glance with Dan.
“Needed some fresh air?” Dan asked, to which Noah nodded in response. He nodded along with him in understanding.
“It’s a bit better out here anyways, don’t have to deal with the loud jocks pissing me off or getting dragged into dance battles or.. Something like that.” Noah added on, letting out a lighthearted chuckle. Dan understood what he meant, being in parties was overwhelming. It was nice when it was nice and quiet, just the two of them..
“Hey,” Noah started off, “Remember when we’d always swim around in Ava’s pool during the summer? Always jumping in together, having water fights.. Her dad would get mad over us staying there for too long.”
“Oh yeah..! Those times were great..” Dan replied, “Or when we’d always hide together in hide and seek and never get caught 90 percent of the time? We used to always hide in this one spot in the woods, and everyone took forever to find it!”
“Literally. Looking back on it, it wasn’t even a hard spot to find.” Noah added on, snickering. Dan laughed along with him, grinning. “You’re right though, it really wasn’t, but we were like.. Eight. Eight year olds are kinda dumb sometimes.” Noah nodded in response, still chuckling.
“Man, I just remembered.. Your mom used to give me the weirdest looks during my emo phase, and I could never understand why until now.”
“Pfft, haha! My mom just wasn’t used to that type of fashion sense, but she never found you weird to the point of making me not to be your friend. She knew I’d never do it anyway, I care about you too much.”
Dan looked over at Noah, who seemed to be.. blushing? Wait, no, it’s definitely his mind just screwing with him, Noah wasn’t that easy to fluster. He brushed it off as his mind playing tricks on him, ignoring it.
“Man, my mom always liked you, so she always lets me chill at your place whenever, as long as I don’t do crime and stuff.” Noah went on, soft smile on his face.
“Mine always liked you too. I used to drag you along to everything.. You’re practically like a second son to her too.”
“Oh huh, that’s.. Nice.” Noah went quiet for a moment, still having a soft smile on his face. “And what do you see me as?”
Dan was a little surprised by the sudden question, he couldn’t help but blush. He saw Noah as so much more than just a friend, but he couldn’t just confess to him out of the blue, but saying he was a friend felt.. weird. Weirder than he wanted it to.
“My best friend.” Dan responded with, slightly flustered. “And you? What do you see me as?”
“My.. best friend too.” Noah replied, nodding. But despite the solid reply, there was a tinge of hesitation in Noah’s voice. Did he.. think of Dan as someone inferior? Perhaps just an item? Or maybe.. Something more? That might be a little far-fetched, but Dan was far from opposed to having his feelings be mutual, but he could never tell if that was the case.
“Are you being honest with me?” Dan blurted out. “Huh?”
“I- Sorry, I just.. noticed your tone of voice being off. Is that your honest answer? You can tell me the truth, Noah, it’s just the two of us.” Dan gave Noah a reassuring smile, reaching out for the other’s hand. Noah stayed quiet for a moment, in thought, holding Dan’s hand. Noah’s hand was warm, it was nice to hold, especially with autumn having rather cold evenings.
“.. Maybe I wasn’t being honest, what would you do then?” Noah said, the first half coming out in a whisper. “I’d ask for your actual answer then.” Dan came back with, “Take your time, I don’t expect an immediate answer.”
Noah nodded, taking a deep breath. “Okay, cool.. Could you put your hat down somewhere? You’ve been holding onto it for a while.”
Dan’s stern yet reassuring expression from before turned into a small grin as he snickered, “Inappropriate timing, Noah, but you’re not wrong..” He plopped his hat down on the empty seat next to him, his other hand still holding Noah’s. “Well? What now?”
Noah held onto Dan’s hand a bit tighter, “Is it alright if I do something I’ll regret for years on end?” Dan raised a brow, “Depends on what you’re gonna do. If it isn’t anything illegal, then you can go ahead.”
The other male nodded, gulping nervously. His other hand gently cupped Dan’s cheek, which instantly made him blush like crazy. He didn’t want to assume so quickly, but with Noah leaning towards him so suddenly, he kind of got the gist of what was going on.
Before he could comment on what was happening, Noah’s lips pressed against his. He could feel the tip of his ears burning as the kiss lingered for a bit longer, but eventually, it had to come to a halt. Noah let go, face bright red.
“Fuck.” He let out, “Ah god, I screwed everything up, didn’t I? I shouldn’t have done this tonight, I shouldn’t have ever thought about this ever, I--”
“Noah.” Dan said, voice hushed, “Do that again.” “Huh?” “.. Kissing me. Do it again.”
“Wait, but that means-- M-mmn-”
Dan’s lips pressed against Noah’s, this time more desperately than their first. It wasn’t desperate enough to the point of a makeout, but Dan’s tongue traced Noah’s lips a few times, just to lightly tease him, causing the other to let out an unprompted groan. They let go once more, catching their breath.
“..A-as I was saying,” Noah started off, voice a little hoarse, “I guess you.. Like me back?” “God yes. I’ve liked you for years, Noah. I’ve been waiting to kiss you for a really long time.”
“Me too. God, me fucking too.”
They chuckled amongst themselves, still trying to process what happened in the last five minutes. Dan held onto Noah’s hand a bit tighter, smiling and laughing.
“I love you so much, Noah.” He said in a whisper, “Can we stay like this for a little longer?”
Noah smiled back, nodding, “Yes we can..” he answered, leaning towards Dan once more.
“I love you too.” He whispered to the other, running his thumb on the other’s hand.

Uh you said you want requests so I’ll give you two. The first is HEAVY angst and kinda triggering so that’s why there’s two.
The first one is what if Cody died in Rescue Bots. (No ones fault) how would everyone react? How do the bots deal with deaths of humans. Yeah pretty intense so you can pick the other one.
Second one. A short description of what it would be like the rescue bots and rid15 teams met up for a Christmas celebration? (Would all the bad guys pick that day to attack??) (How and where exactly would they celebrate)
Both would be season four of rescue bots. Thanks.
I see, so general HCs?
I'll answer both separately if that's okay with you!
I'm not that experienced with "Possibility" HC's
So I apologize if they're OOC or not good.
Also not sure if you were talking about the main four and the ones on the mainland. OS I just did the main 4.
HCs are under the cut!
What is Cody Burns died? (No one's fault)
- Cody died of natural causes.
- Said causes are from falling down a flight of stairs.
- He had damaged his spine and skull. It resulted in brain damage and paralysis.
- The teenager was rushed to the hospital as fast as possible.
- The doctors did everything they could. But something went wrong
- One of the fractured bones had punctured the boy's stomach.
- The acids go everywhere, damaging tissues and damaging internal organs. This resulted in a fatality and instant death.
- The boy wasn't saved.
Heatwave:
- He feels like it's his fault. He had promised the burns family repeatedly that he would protect them. Every. Single. One.
- But he failed
- He failed the mission Optimus gave him.
- he failed to be a rescue bot.
- He's become more aggressive and more snappy.
- He doesn't even take his daily energon.
- Kade is the only one who's able to console Heatwave.
- "Cody wouldn't want you doing this to yourself" "And How would you know, glory hog?" "Because I'm his brother."
- This brings the two closer, their connections with Cody never fading.
- They visit the boy's grave together during Mondays, constantly updating him on stuff going around the island.
- He still grieves over Cody and uses this as experience. But that doesn't make the hurt go away.
Blades:
- He's petrified!
- The poor bot thought Cody would be with them till the end!
- Then he's hit with reality. Humans are fragile. Humans have a shorter life span than cybertronians.
- This only makes Blades even more emotional.
- He knows the other humans won't survive as well.
- He knows his best friend Dani will soon die.
- "Don't go!" "Blades, I need to get groceries" "But-" "Blades, please!" "I don't want you to die too!" "Blades..."
- This makes his paranoia shoot through the roof. He's scared, anxious, and even more emotional.
- It takes some talking from Dani and Doc green to get him to calm down.
- He visits Cody with Dani on Fridays. The day he and Cody play video games and watch cartoons together. It was BDC Hangout day.
- They play board games next to Cody's grave. To still include their best friend
- Until the end.
Boulder:
- He knew this was going to happen at one point.
- He has a better understanding of life and death than the others.
- But it still hit him like a truck being thrown to his face.
- He feels the tears, the grief, and most noticeably, the emptiness.
- He paints to convey and cope with his feelings.
- He spends more time with Grahm, Franky, and Doc green.
- He consoles Franky and comforts her. They both grieve over their friend.
- He keeps Grahm in check of his health. The young college student overworks himself. And Boulder doesn't want a repeat of what happened to Cody.
- He visits Cody with Grahm and the Green family on Thursday, Wednesday, and Saturday.
- He visits him the most because he keeps Franky company.
- Franky doesn't like being alone now, which is why the rescue bot assigned himself to be her watchman.
- He shows the boy's grave all the new pieces and tells him about all the wondrous things he discovered on earth.
- "Hey Grahm," "yeah, bud?" "Is this what it feels like?" "feels like what, Boulder?" "To lose someone close?" "Yeah... It does"
Chase:
- He would feel conflicted.
- He isn't sure what emotion he's feeling
- He isn't as educated on human emotions. So feeling sorrow and grief makes him think something is wrong with him.
- He asks Chief about it. And both of them have therapy sessions.
- Chase worries now about the other humans.
- He's even more strict than before. He hovers over everyone, ensuring they're getting their vitamins eating their meals. ANd making sure any injuries they gain are treated immediately.
- He's not outwardly showing it, but he's genuinely in ruins.
- Based on his knowledge, humans also die of old age.
- Now that gave him a spark attack.
- He worries immensely over his partner. Chief reassures Chase he'll be fine and that it's inevitable. But that doesn't do anything.
- He and Charly visit Cody on Sundays and Tuesdays. Updating him on all the missions and how everyone's well-being is.
- Charley nearly cried when Chase started reading one of the many books Cody kept as a keepsake.
- he feels blessed to have such a caring family/team.
- "Thank you, Chase" "For what, Chief Burns?" "For being part of my family. "Of course, Sir..... Your welcome"

In Times of Celebration...
Osferth x reader
Prompt #13 – ‘There was only one bed’
It’s not every day that the future King turns seven. Edward invites Uhtred and company to join the celebration in Wessex, but you and Osferth arrive later than expected. Due to your late arrival the ale house has only one room available…and that room only has one bed…
WARNINGS: 18+ SMUT, unprotected sex – it’s the ninth century they have an excuse, you don’t. fluff
A/N: My first celebration request done! This is my first time writing Osferth, so I apologize if it’s a little OOC, like Sihtric, his lack of lines haunts me :/
Anyways I’m gonna write the requests in the order they were submitted in so if yours doesn’t pop up as quick as you expected then don’t stress cause you’re on the list and I love you all equally
WC: 2476 - this is ridiculously long, I wanted to set the scene and then got carried away whoops
Tags: @bebbanburgsflame - thank you my love for the request, @flowers-in-your-hayr
It was late when you arrived in Winchester, but the usually dark streets were filled with candlelight and laughter. The future king was turning seven the next day and evidently the best way to celebrate was to grab yourself a cup of ale in one hand and a pretty girl in the other.
Osferth’s hand was on your lower back as you weaved your way through the packed streets, guiding you gently as he smiled at the drunk passers-by, knowing all too well that the rest of your friends would be exactly the same.
The tavern was heaving with people and your good spirits were starting to dwindle. It had been a long ride; your horse was newly broken and while beautiful she was difficult and Uhtred had lost patience with both of your attitude’s. The others had ridden on while Osferth had stayed behind with you. You had ended up swapping horses and how well your horse behaved for the gentle monk had grated on you, but you couldn’t really blame her.
But you could blame Osferth for having the most uncomfortable saddle to ever grace Gods green earth. All you wanted to do was collapse on to the nearest bed and dream away the ache of the ride, but first you had to pay for the room.
The owner was a difficult man to find but his smile was wide and offered the room at half price. You began to protest but he insisted.
‘The healers assure me that my wife is to give birth tomorrow, praise Him. I believe it to be a good sign that he should share a birthday with the future king of Wessex – why should I not share my happiness with you?’
‘Do you hear that Y/N? Praise him indeed.’ Osferth’s smile was infectious, and you couldn’t help but share in his joy.
‘Thank you for your kindness.’
Your gratitude quickly faded as you walked into the room, it was modest, and the bed looked like heaven but there was only one filling the room. Turning to Osferth with a startled expression you expected him to turn on his heels, ready to ask for another room right along with you but he just shrugged and took your bag inside.
‘Osferth what are you doing?’
‘Unpacking?’
‘But- ‘
‘I know but we should be grateful we even got a room.’ He beckoned you, a reassuring smile on his face. You wanted nothing more than to rid him of the look. It wasn’t that you didn’t want to share a bed with him, rather it was a problem that you did. And here he was, smiling at you like it was perfectly fine. Of course you had slept beside each other before, your furs being laid next to each other when you were on the road or napping by the river side by side when at home but you had never shared a bed with him, under the covers, layers of clothes removed… You fought quickly to hide the blush that threatened to out you.
‘I will sleep on the floor; you can have the bed.’
‘You cannot sleep on the floor Y/N.’
‘Then we should ask for another room- ‘
‘There are no other rooms.’ He was laughing at you quietly, his amusement was gentle and light, never pushing you too far. ‘And besides, I do not believe it was such a reach to think us together.’
You threw a pillow at him in an attempt to hide the deep red that was rapidly spreading across your body. He caught it with one hand, a light dusting of pink appearing on his own cheeks.
‘Are you going to help me unpack?’ you shook your head with a grin, settling back into the soft linen. Osferth rolled his eyes but quickly resumed the task at hand. With his back turned you took the opportunity to admire him.
You were surrounded by beautiful people constantly. Your Lord and the men that served him always made the scenery just that much prettier but there was something about the baby monk that had gripped you body and soul. Under all those robes and armour, you knew laid a warrior’s body. To assume otherwise would be a mistake, one you would not make twice.
It took him a while when you first met for him to look you in the eye but when he finally did you were lost in a soft world of blue. Combine that with a jawline that could cut sharper than your sword and you were all in from the very beginning.
And then he grew into himself. You watched along with the others as he stood a little taller, spoke a little louder, held your gaze for as long as you could manage.  Boy to man, lamb to wolf, friend to fantasy.
You were so lost in the idea of him that you barely noticed him removing his armour in front of your very eyes until the leather hit the ground. You were transfixed as the layers of clothes were placed on a stool, and milky skin was revealed.
There were hardly any scars, save the large one on his abdomen. He was slighter than the others, but the muscle rippled as he moved regardless, his strength was as quiet as the rest of him but in its silence, it screamed the truth.
You watched as he leant down and undid the laces of his boots. His hands were a frequent visitor in your thoughts. They were calloused from hard work and a hard life, but they held your soup bowl when you were ill, despite the fact it burned him a little. They guided you through packed crowds, keeping you safe and in sight. And when his fingers brushed against your own it felt like God had put him on this earth to make you feel alive.
As he approached the bed, dressed in breeches alone, you found yourself flustered, your thighs clenching together on their own accord.
‘What- why are you undressed?’
‘I do not wish to sleep in my armour Y/N, we’re not on the road and we’re here to enjoy the celebration. If it offends you then I can re dress?’
‘No. I- You’re right.’ You nodded your head as you said it, convincing yourself that he was right and ignoring the pit in your stomach as you removed yourself from the bed.
You started with your boots, kicking them to the side of the room. You had none of the finesse that Osferth had, not when you could feel his eyes on you. Glancing at him every now and again as you removed your weapons you could see him watching you through thick lashes. He had more subtlety than other men, but the intention was the same.  
The thought sent tiny sparks through your body, and the colour of his face brought you a little satisfaction. Despite your best efforts his eyes made you clumsy, the knot of your armour unyielding against your fumbling fingers.
You turned yourself away from him, a half-arsed attempt to hide the affect the situation was having on you. You didn’t even hear him coming up behind you and the feel of his hand covering yours made you jump. Your hand dropped to your side like a stone does when thrown into a river and Osferth’s breath fanned against the back of your neck.
His hands made quick work of what yours could not and before you knew it you were lifting your arms, letting the man behind you remove the armour completely. The two of you stood there, your back to his chest, heat radiating off each other and your breath coming out in quick puffs. You turned to him with downcast eyes.
The cross that sat on his chest snapped you out of the lust that coursed through your veins. God did you want this, but you pushed yourself away with a murmur of thanks. He was your friend and a man of God. And despite being a warrior of Uhtred’s your nerve evaporated.
The candles were blown out and your body stiffened as the bed dipped as Osferth climbed in. You could still feel him, his proximity making sleep impossible.
While your body lay perfectly still your mind tossed and turned – you had seen the desire in his eyes, felt his breath coming out quick and hot against you. He had made no move to push you and you had stepped back. But what if you hadn’t?
You rolled over, expecting to be greeted with his back but instead you were met by his face. He looked at peace, his eyes closed and his breathing even. Your intention was not to wake him, but the light tracing of his face stirred him, his hand moving in a flash and long fingers coming to grip your wrist.
‘I shouldn’t have pulled away…’ Your voice was barely a whisper, but his eyes were fixed on you. His grip eased on your wrist and his touch moved from your arm to your waist, squeezing gently.
It felt like all the air had been sucked out of the room and the single thin layer of fabric that separated you from Osferth felt like entirely too much.
You sat up and Osferth followed, confusion evident on his sharp face.
‘Y/N what are you doing?’
Your hand gripped the bottom of your tunic and pulled it over your head before your courage was lost to the night. The air nipped at your skin, your nipples hardening with the ghost touch. Osferth’s eyes were everywhere, desire mixing with the confusion as you crawled towards him.
‘What I should have done.’
He reached for you tentatively, his hands cupping your face and bringing his lips to yours. They were soft and gentle, his tongue parting your lips in exploration.
The taste of him was intoxicating and you climbed into his lap in seek of some relief.  
Your hands went from the slopes of his shoulders to the rim of his breeches. He tugged himself free and a blush spread from his chest up to the tops of his ears. The sight of him did not disappoint, his cock stood proud and was already leaking precum.
You had been with other men, but none quite had this effect on you, the want, the arousal, it was all him. The sight of him in such a state pulled a moan from your lips and another wave of wetness to pool between your thighs.
The rest of your clothes were removed, and you lay bare before the monk, your back arched as his hands slowly explored all there was to touch. His touch was feather light, leaving goose bumps in his wake. His lips followed his fingertips and as he tweaked one nipple, he took the other into his mouth, humming as you moaned.
He circled it with his tongue, letting his teeth graze it as he pulled away. Leaving a trail of open mouthed kisses he moved his attention to the other breast, his free hand slowly making its way south.
His name was pulled from your lips in a whine, the pressure of his thumb circling your clit exactly what you needed. His knuckles grazed against your entrance and you could feel him smile against your skin.
Needing to ground yourself there was no better anchor than his member, you could feel it sitting against your thigh. It felt like velvet to touch and the way his breath hitched made your body tingle with anticipation.
The way you held him left Osferth breathless, his own rhythm lost in the way you stroked him. You could feel it, still pumping him you guided him to your entrance.
Unable to censor yourself you gasped at his size. He lingered, teasing you with both his body and smile. His lips melted against yours as he entered you, hot breath fanning your face as gasps and moans filled the room.
Like everything else surrounding you, Osferth was gentle. His pace was steady and his thrusts deep, your fingers lacing together as you pulled him closer, your heels digging into his thighs.
While he used his free arm to prop himself up, you used yours to caress his face, pushing away the strands of blond hair that obscured your view of his pleasure.
You could feel yourself growing closer, relishing in the way he breathed your name as you clenched around him. Releasing your hand, he slipped his own between your bodies finding that sweet spot once more.
Your orgasm creeped up on you slowly, your back arching and your chest brushing against his as you called out, your cries of bliss mixing with the celebrations still raging on below.
Osferth’s own release came quickly after, a soft moan interrupting your panting, his brow creased and mouth silently begging to be kissed.
As you came down from your high Osferth pulled you to him, your limbs tangled as you faced each other, the smiles on your faces couldn’t be hidden, but neither of you had any desire to do so.
‘This may be forward Y/N-‘Your laugh interrupted him, your eyes wide and filled with amused exasperation as you gestured to your naked bodies.
‘I think we’re past forward, Osferth.’ His laugh was soft, and you watched as pink creeped into his complexion once more.
‘You are far more than a friend and I thank God for you, I do not wish to be without you.’
‘After tonight, you do not have to be.’
 *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*
The future king of Wessex was paraded through the hall, the priests that proceeded him unable to keep him in check but the atmosphere in the room was one of happiness and good humour.
If anyone were to look over at you, they would think you were overjoyed, the smile on your face rivaled that of the Queen. In reality your hand was slotted with Osferth’s, his thumb tracing circles over your knuckle.
You could feel Finan’s eyeing the two of you, but you could not find it in you to care. You watched as the Irishman lean into Uhtred ear, his voice just high enough to hear above the chanting.
‘I think it’ll be a marriage we’ll be celebrating next.’ You blushed as your Lords eyes fell to you, but Osferth seemed to beam at them, his hand squeezing yours. When he spoke, his voice was as happy as you had ever heard it.
‘I wouldn’t be surprised either Finan.’
You didn’t know what filled you with more excitement at that moment  - the fact that he wanted to marry you or that you got to show him just how willing you were when you returned to your shared bed.
