False Pretenses

Word Count: 1.5k
Warnings: crack to fluff, suggestive moments and ending, swearing, Jk has side by side washer/dryer units cause it’s funnier, reader’s referred to as ‘Ma’am’, not proofread
A/N: Thanks to the lovely anon who requested this! Sorry it took me soo long to get to, I hope you’ll still like it tho! (I’ll also be posting a couple more pieces with this pairing in the next couple weeks, so keep your eyes peeled if you liked this)
Masterlist
°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•
It was the type of text you had gotten more than used to receiving from him over the past few months, smirking down at your phone as you waited for the elevator in his building.
“Need you so bad rn. Come over?❤”
The heart was a new addition, he must be feeling particularly needy today, you thought to yourself as the elevator doors finally opened.
Since the two of you had established this new part of your friendship, it was rare for you to go more than four or five days without receiving some variation of the same short message from him.
You were still slightly surprised by his text, seeing as you had only been over the night before, but you weren’t complaining by any means. Though you may have enjoyed pretending that Jungkook was the needier one in your arrangement, if you were completely honest, you were just as affected by him, finding yourself missing him on the nights you didn’t spend together.
When he opened the door, you noticed he looked a little more disheveled than usual, his hair sticking up all over the place, as if he’d been running his hands through it, a habit you knew he did when he was stressed.
“You got here fast.” He noted, letting you into the apartment.
“Well, your text made it sound kinda urgent, didn’t want to leave you waiting too long.” You said, wandering through into the living room, slowing to a stop as you caught sight of the chaotic state of the space, cleaning supplies and laundry scattered around, furniture moved all out of place.
“What happened in here?” You asked, turning back to Jungkook, who was now avoiding your eyes. “Koo?”
“I lied, I didn’t want sex.” He said guiltily, looking up at you. “I need you to help me clean.”
“I-, what?” You blinked at him, unsure if you heard him correctly.
He slumped back against the counter, looking stressed as he ran his hand through his hair again. ”My parents decided to surprise me by announcing they’re coming to visit tomorrow, but I’ve done nothing but sleep since I got home from tour last week, so the house is a fucking mess and everything’s a disaster and I need help, please.” He pleaded, staring at you.
You immediately began pulling your coat back on, turning back towards the door. “You’re unbelievable.”
“Y/n, please!” He quickly followed after you, catching your sleeve. “I’ll do anything you want! I’ll buy you dinner, I’ll rub your back, I’ll even let you pick what we watch for a month!”
You paused, turning to look back at him with a raised brow. “Even if I want to re-watch ‘Our Beloved Summer’ for a third time?”
He bit lip, trying to fight back a pained grimace before nodding slowly. “Whatever you want.”
You stared at him for a long moment.
“Fine.” You said reluctantly, caving as you saw the genuine desperation in his eyes. You could never say no to him.
“Thank you!” He sang, catching you in a tight hug and spinning you around in a circle. “I promise I’ll make it up to you!”
“Yeah, whatever,” You grumbled as he set you back on your feet. “Where do we start?”
“Laundry room?” He offered. “It’s mostly done, I just need to vacuum behind the machines.”
Do you really think your mom’s gonna look back there?” You raised a brow, following him down the hall.
“She’s very thorough.” He said seriously.
“Fair enough.” You shrugged. “I don’t quite see why I’m necessary for this part though?”
“I was afraid if I tried to clean back there by myself, I’d slip and get stuck or die.”
“So you want me to slip and die behind your washer instead?” You shot him an accusatory look.
“No! I’ll hold onto you and keep you safe,” He smiled reassuringly. “You know, like the buddy system.”
“I thought the buddy system was for camping so you didn’t get lost or eaten by bears?”
“It’s a multi-purpose system!” He said, his earlier agitation starting to flare up again at your teasing. “Are you gonna help me or not?”
“Yeah, I’ll do it, pass me the vacuum.” You relented, boosting yourself up on top of the dryer.
He held onto your hips to keep you balanced as you cleaned, his mind beginning to wander as he stared at your ass, his fingers starting to slowly knead your flesh absent-mindedly.
“Koo.” You warned, shooting him a quick look.
“Right, sorry.” He snapped back to attention, ceasing his movements and focusing back on the task at hand.
You finished up quickly, passing the vacuum attachment back to him and letting him help you down.
“Thank you.” He said.
“You’re welcome.” You answered, looking around expectantly. “What’s next?”
The apartment wasn’t nearly as bad of a mess as he claimed it to be, but it still took both of you several hours of work to get everything back in order, finishing off with laundry and changing all the bedding.
“Why are these sticky?!” You asked, mildly horrified as you helped him strip the sheets off his bed.
“Relax, it’s just caramel sauce.” He said.
You looked up at him confused. “We didn’t use-?”
“No no, that was just me,” He explained quickly. “I had ice cream last night.”
“Without me?!” You said, clutching your chest in feign hurt, making him roll his eyes as he let out a huff of laughter.
“I’ll add that to the list of things I need to make up for, okay?” He said.
“Eh, it’s better than where my mind went.” You said, only half joking as you grabbed the fresh sheets from him and turned back to the bed. “Almost thought you were fucking around behind my back for a second there.”
Facing away from him, you missed the way his expression suddenly turned serious as he looked at you. “I would never.”
It was strange, despite the supposedly ‘casual’ nature of your arrangement, you both found yourselves making little comments like that, words and exchanges that sounded a lot more like things said between a committed couple, rather than just two friends helping each other out till you found something more serious.
“Alright, I think that’s everything.” You said, snapping him out of his thoughts. You had finished making up the bed, even turning down the covers for him.
“Thank you, y/n.” He said gratefully. “I don’t know what I would’ve done without you.”
“Probably called Hobi.” You smirked, making him snort.
“Now, you promised me food, and if you lie to me twice in the same day, I’m dumping your ass.” You said, earning another laugh from him.
“Alright, whatever you want, just like I said.” He said, leaning down to give you a quick kiss.
“Although, if you wanted, I could make up for my false pretenses from earlier in a different way?” He offered, eyes darkening slightly as his hands drifted over your hips
You lightly shoved his hands away. “Not a chance, Loverboy, I’m way too tired now. You’ll have to try and ‘make it up to me’ some other time.”
“How about tomorrow?” He said, eyes twinkling mischievously, looping his arms around your waist instead to keep you close.
“I thought your parents were coming over tomorrow?” You reminded, raising a brow at him.
“You could come over after.” He suggested. “Hell, you could even come to dinner with us, my parents like getting to meet my friends.”
“Friends?” You looked up at him skeptically.
“Yeah, what?” He laughed, squeezing you lightly.
“Do you let your other friends suck your di-?”
“They don’t need to know the details of our relationship!” He said quickly, his face flushing slightly, making you snicker. “You’re still my friend, one of my best friends actually.” He added, in a soft tone.
The way he said it made your heart twist in a weird way, though you didn’t quite understand why.
“So?” He asked, staring down at you hopefully. “Will you come?”
You chewed your lip, considering. It felt like a really big commitment to meet his family, regardless of what your relationship was, but you tell it would mean a lot to him if you said yes.
“I’ll think about it.” You said finally.
He beamed.
“Thank you!” He said, leaning in to kiss you again, his lips lingering longer this time, tracing over yours lightly, making you shiver.
You pressed closer to him, hooking your arms around his neck as you tilted your head to deepen the kiss, letting your tongue delve into his mouth as his hands grip on your waist tightened.
When you pulled back for air, his pupils were blown wide, eyes almost black as he stared down at you, breathing heavily.
“Take your shirt off.” You ordered, your breaths equally unsteady.
“But I thought you said-?”
“I changed my mind.” You cut him off, tugging at the fabric impatiently. “Shirt off, now.”
“Yes, Ma’am.”

How they would act when you fall asleep on their shoulder
Tumblr media
Summary: You had a long morning, and you didn't even get enough sleep so now you are very tired, But sitting with them in the courtyard during lunch break, while they talk you find yourself falling asleep, your head on their shoulder.
ft. Silver, Cater & Sebek x NB!Reader [Seperate] (+Lilia in Sebek's part lmao, Trey and Riddle only mentioned by me but they aren't in the short story)
Fluff<3
A/n: First post!! but likeee Just a lil' heads up, some parts of them may be OOC, I've been reading too much stories of them that I've forgotten how they act in the game so uh.. Srry, Enjoy tho- You may keep requesting more characters of this summary or different scenarios with different characters if you'd like, so long as their appropriate :3 (click here for my profile)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Silver
Tumblr media
Let's admit it, He would be quite surprised but get used to it in seconds. While Silver looks at you, his attention goes to his surroundings, He would love to sleep too, before lunchbreak ends, but he's still cautious of his surroundings, Like.. What if you get taken away? Possibilities are impossible but this man has a crazy disaster of possibilities in his mind.
It won't happen at all, By the way. You're just sleeping for a while before getting back to stressing school works.
Silver's head freezes, Realizing he can't move his head too much as you were moving your head somewhere more comfortable on his shoulder and your hands hugging his arm like a pillow. Silver gently grabs your shoulder, his forearm protecting the back of your head and placing your head on his lap softly. He takes off his blazer, folding it until it's thick enough to be a pillow without moving too much to wake you up. Then he puts it in between your arms, to his surprise, you immediately respond to the folded blazer and pull it into a tight embrace. "That's cute.." Silver whispers, lightly tracing the back of his finger from your cheekbone to your jawline. "I guess a small nap with you wouldn't hurt.."
Tumblr media
Cater
Tumblr media
Cater would.. Be so happy that 'crushiecakes' finally fell asleep on him!! So happy that he would take a pic of him and you. #cute #staywithme #OMG #ifeelsohappy. Like, he would probably even brag it to Trey and Riddle later in which Riddle does not care, "go back to your room." will be the only thing Riddle will say. but Trey.. He will not know what to say. Congrats??
So yeah, But he would post it, half of Cater's magicam posts is literally either you or you WITH him, so He thinks you wouldn't mind if he just posted you sleeping on him.. He would take down the post if you didn't approve of that though, but.. Yeah. He posts about it.
"Oh my gosh, I can't believe this is happening- Hashtag so cool!" Cater stops talking to himself when he sees your body moving, probably from how noisy he got, but we dont blame him, he's a simp and we love it. So he just keeps quiet, not wanting to wake you up. It's both giving 'don't want my pookie to get off me' and 'I don't want pookie to wake up when they're so tired'
But, aside from all his chaotic energy, one side of him just does most romantic works as his hand creeps up to your waist, keeping you comfortable and making sure you don't fall forward. Cater looks at your sleeping face, smiling at the sight. "Gosh, So adorable." He mumbles under his breath, fighting the urge to pinch your cheeks. He places a kiss on your head, leaning his cheek on your scalp. "Sweet dreams, [Name]."
Tumblr media
Sebek
Tumblr media
No because he wants you to stay but he also wants you to go, otherwise others would see him with a human, when he always pushes humans away from him infront of others. But this might be his only chance.. You might never do this again because you don't realize it's Sebek you're leaning on!!
So, He just decides to give up in pushing you away and do this once. (probably a lie but who knows, what if he's good at keeping his risky words.)
Everytime students pass by the courtyard, he just randomly starts speaking like... himself. "Stupid human, Why did you even tire yourself out?!.." He mumbles in anger when another student passes by. He didn't see who it was, but it was Lilia. He notices the green haired by his angry mumbling. What Sebek is unaware of, is that he still doesn't realize that Lilia is nearby.
Sebek has his eyes on you. Resting on him so peacefully, unbothered.. How could he miss alot of these?! He's had chances with you that he pushed away, so now he wonders what he missed. His hand moves up to your head, yet it stops mid-way, hesitating. Eventually, he did it. He rubs your head slowly yet comfortable for you. "Hmph. Stupid human. Why do you have to be so cute." He says. "My, My, You have quite the heart, Sebek. Ah, Youngsters these days.. I might aswell tell Malleus and Silver of this golden moment." Lilia whispers to himself before walking off.
Tumblr media
Author's end note: IM GONNA CRYQDJCU WHY IS SEBEK SO SOFT BUT ALSO SO AGGRESSIVE. LIKE WDYM "i feel peckish" CMERE HUN IMMA FEED YOU. then theres cater ig, this is what he gets for hanging out with kalim too much. Anddd then there's silver. Being so sweet. IWGWGDU I LOVE THEM SM /PLA

Tumblr media Tumblr media
YANDERE! AQUAMARINE HOSHINO x REINCARNATED! READER x YANDERE! RUBY
Guess I gotta do a full fic about it huh. Here we go. Link to previous part in the ask!
tw/cw: yandere themes, gaslight tactics courtesy of aqua, girlkeep tactics courtesy of ruby, girlboss [y/n]. mentions of suicide. reader is gn but gets described as beautiful.
is this really a yandere fic when both the twins are canonically insane tho-
Tumblr media
IT WAS SAID THAT DURING THE NIGHT OF YOUR BIRTH THE SUN WAS AT ITS HIGHEST POINT AND FULLEST BLOOM.
Its rays buried humanity under a blanket of heat and devastation. Fortunetellers would wax on and on of the disasters you would soon bring upon the world.
That was your experience in your first life.
Many could only wish of being born to a worldwide pop-star, but to you it was a reality. You resented those that vied for your place. How could they romanticize such a life when every single day was torture for you. Some predicted you to be world-class singer before your first cry. People knew you before you could even speak to them. Everyone already idolized you, expected you to do great things before you’d even learn the alphabet.
The pressure had already been insurmountable the moment you took your first breath.
Your second life was terrifying to say the least. It didn’t matter that way you died before, just the thought of experiencing the same motions again frightened you to your bones.
And so you pretended. A shining star to a dim moon that barely reflected any light. Ever so meticulously making sure none knew of your so called genius. The last thing you wanted was to be labeled a prodigy even with the more lax nature of your new family.
But art will always call to you, a sunflower drawn to its source of energy.
You kept everything as lowkey as you could, reconnected with contacts you knew would keep their mouth shut, and even kept your identity away from prying eyes.
To the world you were just this masked musician that was oddly reminiscent of their previous luminescence.
You were satisfied with that life. Fame wasn’t something you agonized about or wished for. But now that veil had been taken away, it’s as if everything was crashing down yet again. Emails, messages and articles about your success as a young star was beginning to show its true weight. Stress began accumulating further and further as you had distanced yourself from your family and threw yourself to work as a distraction.
On one such ‘productive’ night, you were met with a face you didn’t expect.
“Aqua-niisama! Nice seeing you here. Thought you would be staying at that director’s place for the night—“
“Why didn’t you tell me? Didn’t you promise to tell me everything? Don’t you trust me?”
Aquamarine had this knack of being utterly terrifying without meaning to. He had the talent to frighten at a glance. His beautiful sea-like eyes turn dull, murky. Capturing all the light, and drowning you in the same pressure your old family would throw you under repeatedly.
With his arms caging you between his form and the wall, you knew there was no escaping this. So in spite of the crippling anxiety, you gulp it do
“I wasn’t confident enough with my skills. Your mom is the Ai Hoshino and Ruby is so talented I—“
He lowered his face, nestled it right beside yours. You could swear he was breathing in your scent. “You looked anything but ‘not confident’ up on the stage.”
“Liar.” His hands then moved from the wall to encircle themselves around your body; his face to your the top of your head and nose between your hair. Yet even in this tight embrace you still felt chills down your spine. “I scare you don’t I? You were worried that I would stop you like I did with her.”
“Yes.”
“I’m sorry. I’m a terrible brother.”
“No, I understand you. You just wanted to keep her safe and I—“
“Not for that.” He pushed himself away for a couple of moments, and for that short amount of time you were ashamed to say that you felt utterly relieved until— “This.”
— he kissed you.
You’ve seen Aqua kiss Akane before. Both on and out of camera. You respected their relationship despite knowing of how unhealthy it truly is. They’d eventually break up and things would go smoothly you thought.
Pfft, as if. You knew shit would hit the fan. You were just too much of a coward to get in his way. Akane could suffer for all you care, she chose to date your psychopath of an adoptive brother anyways.
But you didn’t expect him to fall for you.
He never seem interested. Despite your mother telling you time and time again that Aqua cared deeply about you, you just couldn’t see it.
He was the deep, dark ocean. You were at the highest point of the sky, sailing across the cosmic sea. There was no way you two could meet eye to eye much less love normally.
You did the only thing your body could muster at the moment and slapped him.
“You’re right. You are a horrid brother.”
As you ran away, sobbing, Aqua couldn’t help but feel aroused.
Oh, how charming you looked with tears streaking down your cheeks.
Tumblr media
It felt like hours when you first started crying nonstop. You never cried in your original life. You had no time or energy to. You never expected that your second, mundane life would be the one that shattered you.
And shattered you it did. You felt sorry for the future you who had to wash off all the tears and snot on your pillows and bedsheets, but it had to be done. You knew if you didn’t let it all out that day it’d happen sooner or later at a more inconvenient time.
Aqua only entered once to leave a tissue box and water bottle before he left. The sounds of typing outside of your room never ceased however, indicating he never actually went too far.
Ruby arrived far earlier than you expected as well. Her schedule that day should have had her busy til midnight but you had the feeling Aqua told her what he’d done.
“Ruby-nee—“
“Ssshhh…” Ruby silenced you with a kiss to the forehead.
“Why would he do that— he - he has a girlfriend.” You stuttered and hiccuped throughout your speech, still crying as hard as you did back then.
“Do you really think he loves her?”
“No.”
“But that isn’t what you’re worried about isn’t it?”
Ruby brought you up to her shoulder, massaging your back in a circular motion. “Trust me, nothing will change. He loves you very much. We both love you. I’m just sorry we didn’t make you feel comfortable enough to share your passion with us. You’re amazing [Y/N] in every shape, way or form. You don’t have to be the brightest to the world, you have no obligation to.”
“To us you’re already perfect.”
You never knew she had the capability to be this comforting in a mature sort of way. She always radiated a loud vibration; refreshing most of the time, though it did get tiring.
Never have you been afforded this kind of consolation. It was always you against the world. Being reminded that there are other stars in the sky beside you gave you a strange sense of solace. An odd variety of relief borne out of being insignificant in the sky.
“This incident just means he loves you in a different way alright?”
“But what about Aka-neesama?”
“I’ll talk to him about it.”
Tumblr media
“You should thank me. I left them all vulnerable for you.” Aqua spoke, his right hand quickly moved across his laptop’s keyboard and his left held a can of Monster.
“You felt it too didn’t you?” Ruby exhaled. It took a while to get you to lull you into sleep; a necessary step to have the conversation she was partaking in.
“Yeah. . . I did.” Aqua took a sip from his drink, his starry eyes laser focused on the recording of your performance. He had set up several fan accounts and gotten footage from all sorts of angles. He couldn’t wait for your next stage. May it be from sheer excitement or the caffeine in his blood, but the man was absolutely shaking all over over in anticipation. “We have a second chance, don’t mess things up.”
“I should be saying that to you. Break up with Akane by next week. And be careful with how forward you are with your feelings.”
“Already done.” Aqua held up his phone without breaking moving his head at all, in his phone were a few texts between him and a panicking Akane. “and no promises”
Ruby sighed one last time that night, leaning her head back to your bedroom door. “. . . You were right.”
“Hm?”
Both of her eye’s stars hard turn tar black, a blush covered her cheeks.
“[Y/N] does look enticing when they cry.”

Pairing: Matt Sturniolo X Female Reader
Synopsis: Matt and Y/N had that cute innocent teenage love, but what happens when Y/N’s life is flipped upside down; and he’s the one that got away?🫂
Warnings⚠️: None….hope you enjoy this one tho…she cute or whateva🤭
Song for the imagine: The One That Got Away-Katy Perry
Never planned that one day
I’d be losing you
In another life
I would be your girl
“Is that the last box?” My mom asked me as I walked into the front door
“Yes finally, never realized how much stuff I had” I said walking up the stairs to my bedroom
“Well you were away for a good 5 years” she said laughing
“True, didn’t feel like I had so much stuff though” I said laughing
“I’ll let you unpack, and I’ll start some dinner” she said walking away
“Okay! I’ll be down in a few” I said walking up to my room
I stepped into my room placing the last box down….god this room needed some major upgrades. Can’t believe this is what my room looked like when I was 16…who did I think I was
I started to unpack some things, mainly my clothes and some trinkets.
“This room is such a disaster” I said looking around and laughing to myself. I can’t believe my mom left my room the same since I was 16….shes so weird.
I headed down to eat and chat with my mom after I cleaned up some more.
“Mom why’d you leave my room the same” I said laughing
“Well with your father getting full custody, and me knowing your father, and him not wanting you to come here, or me to go there I wanted to keep the memory of you from the last time I would see you” she said smiling
“Yeah dads a dick….Im so glad to be back home. I just missed Boston so much, Arizona is utter crap” I said laughing and drinking some water
“The east coast is better” she said laughing with me
“We have so much stuff to catch up on, and so many things to do” I said getting emotional
“I know. I can’t believe my babies 21 I can not drink with you” she said taking a sip of her wine
“Can’t wait for our drunk nights laughing and crying about random shit” I said
“Those are the best times” she said nodding her head
I had finished eating, and helped my mom clean up the kitchen
“Alright I’m going to head upstairs, and clean up some more, and unpack” I said kissing her on the cheek
“Okay baby, and if you need help let me know” she said drying her hands
“Will do” I said smiling at her before heading back upstairs
I got upstairs and started throwing all my stuff I didn’t want in trash bags for donation, putting more of my clothes away, and putting my new stuff out where my old things were.
I was pretty much done, and I decided to put my shoe container under my bed, I lifted up the skirt of the bed
“Oh god so much dust” I said making a grossed out face
I decided to get the broom and sweep underneath, I was sweeping when all of a sudden two Polaroids flew out from under my bed
“The fuck?” I said leaning down and picking them up, wiping the dust off of them
It was two Polaroids of Matt and I from when we were 16…. Holy shit…
My brows furrowed. When I moved to Arizona I swore I packed these, but I couldn’t find them after days of tearing my room apart
My dad never liked me talking about or speaking to boys, so I assumed he found them and threw them away. I held so much anger towards him for that….and the whole time they’ve been here.
I flipped them over and on the back of the left one it said
“Don’t forget about me I love you-Matt”, and on the right Polaroid it said “be us against the world, in another life I would make you stay”
All my memories started flooding back of Matt and I
Flashback
I was neighbors with the Sturniolos my whole life, but never spoke to the boys. I was always so scared, but one day when I was 13 my mom threw a party and invited them, the triplets and I immediately became friends.
We went to the same high school, and had most of the same classes together. They were the best things to have happened to me. By the time we were 16 I started to realize that I may have liked Matt, but was always so scared to tell him
One night I was just so fed up of never saying anything to him, so I got up and walked over to their house, texting Matt to meet me outside
“Hey Y/N are you alright?” He asked shutting the door behind him
“Yeah I’m good, I’ve just been thinking about some things” I said smiling at him
“Oh? Tell me” he said walking down the steps
“Walk with me?” I asked
“Yeah let’s go” he said following me
“So uh I’m not sure how to put this, and I’m not sure that you’ll feel the same way, but Matt I really like you” I said looking over at him
“Like, like me like me, or like me as a friend?” He said confused
“No Matt, like I like you. I have a huge crush on you” I said getting shy
“You do?” He said looking at me
“Matt YES” I said looking at him
“Y/N….I have the biggest crush on you too” he said smiling
“You do?” I asked confused
“Yes! Hasn't it been obvious?” He said
“No not really” I said laughing
“Well I do” he said pulling me in for a hug
From that moment Matt and I started dating, spending every second together. There was nothing but laughs, long conversations and overall innocent love you see in the movies.
“Hey Y/N, could I kiss you?” Matt asked me one night while we were watching a movie in my living room
“Yeah….ive never kissed anyone before though” I said getting nervous
“Me neither” he said also getting nervous
“Okay, so this could be a learning curve for us” I said laughing to break the awkwardness
“Uh yeah” he said getting shy
Matt had turned towards me, and leaned in kissing me first. It took me a few seconds to register what happened, and then finally I kissed back.
My stomach exploding with butterflies and fireworks…I never wanted to leave this moment. Matt had pulled away, and from that day on he couldn’t keep his lips off of me, but then again neither could I.
Everything was going good for 6 months, before my mom came home one day stressed and crying
“Mom? What’s going on” I said looking at her
“Baby….im so sorry” she said looking over at me and crying
“Mom what’s going on you’re scaring me” I said getting worried
“Y/N your dad won custody of you” she said looking down
“What? I’m 16. How does he magically get custody of me now?” I said getting upset
“I know baby trust me I tried to fight it, but he’s got a better rep than me” she said shaking her head
“What that’s not true! You’ve been here for me and where has he been? Gone nowhere to be seen…..I can’t believe this” I said shaking my head and letting out a sigh
“Trust me I know. I tried, but they don’t care they just look at his perfect record” she said wiping her eyes
“So what now?” I said scared of what she has to say next
“You have to go move with him” she said avoiding eye contact
“IN ARIZONA?? NO” I said raising my voice
“You don’t understand. We have no choice” she said
“This is so unfair. I don’t want to go. I don’t want to leave you, and my friends and I don’t want to leave Matt” I said starting to cry
“I know you don’t, and I’m so sorry that you have to do this, but there’s no other choice” she said shaking her head
“When do I leave?” I asked
“Two weeks” she said looking down
“TWO WEEKS! I don’t even get to finish the school year, or properly say bye to my friends and boyfriend” I said shrieking
“Y/N…..this hurts me too okay” she said
“I can’t believe dad…” I said rolling my eyes
I waited till the very last day to tell Matt and his brothers. I couldn’t spend two weeks with them knowing that we’re all hurting while we’re hanging out. So I much rather just tell them the night before I’m leaving. I can’t be here to see their pain
The night before I was leaving I texted Matt asking if I could come over, and he said yes. I walked over, and he let me in
“What’s going on?” He said noticing my demeanor
“I have to tell you and your brothers something” I said sniffling
“Okay yeah we’re in Chris room” he said
We went up to Chris room, and they all looked concerned
“What’s going on? You’re freaking us out” Chris said
“I’m moving…..to Arizona….with my dad” I said avoiding eye contact
“WHAT?” They all screamed
“Yeah I know, he won custody, and now I have no choice” I said crying
“This is bullshit” Matt said
“Trust me Matt I know” I said shaking my head
“When do you leave?” Nick asked
“Tomorrow morning…my flights at 5AM” i said
“What? And you didn’t bother to tell us sooner” Matt said
“I know okay. I just couldn’t sit here and see us all hurting, so I rather rip the bandaid off now, and not have to see the hurt in your eyes” I said wiping my tears
“I can’t believe this” Matt said
“Will you visit?” Nick asked
“I have no clue, my dads like a drill sergeant….he hates my mom, and he will probably hate me too. I’d be lucky if he lets me visit for the holidays” I said
“This is fucked” Chris said
“Very….” I said
“Well instead of being sad let’s try to make these next few hours memorable for you” Nick said smiling
That night we watched movies, and shows and laughed and ate snacks and took pictures and videos to always have one another
“Y/N let’s take Polaroids, so you’ll never forget me in Arizona” Matt said
“I could never forget you” I said looking at him
He pulled me in and snapped two Polaroids of us, writing on the back, and handing it to me
“I love you so much” he said pulling me in for a hug and kiss
“I love you too Matt” I said smiling at him
Later on that night I went back home and packed up the last of my things that I would be carrying with me. I thought I put the Polaroids in my bookbag, but what actually happened was I didn’t close the pocket, and they fell out when I put my bag on causing them to fall under my bed…..
It was 3:00am and my mom was in the car waiting for me. I looked at my room one last time
“I guess I’ll be back one day” I said shutting the light off and closing my door
I walked outside to see Matt and his family talking to my mom
“We’re going to miss you so much” Mary Lou said pulling me in for a hug
“I’m going to miss you guys too” I said sniffling
I hugged all of them, and waited to hug Matt last
“Matt I love you so much, and never forget about me” I said letting a tear slip
“I could never” he said letting a tear slip as well
I pulled him in for a hug, and kissed him
“I guess I’ll see you when I see you” I said to them
“Bye Y/N” they said
As I got in the front seat I waved
“Love yall” I said before getting in
My mom started to drive off as I stared into the side view mirror…..my whole life just gone down the drain….and now I have to start a new life in Arizona with my dad
We had gotten to the airport, and this was my first time flying alone, so I was nervous
“You’re going to be okay baby, I love you and let me know when you landed okay? Call me every single day please” She said letting tears fall
“Don’t cry mom” I said pulling her in for a hug
“How can I not? You’re leaving me” she said
“I’ll be okay, I’ll call you everyday and I love you too” I said before getting out the car
“Love you baby” she said and I shut the door walking to my new life
My dad was an absolute asshole. All we did was fight and yell and bicker. He never let me see my mom. I never went back to Boston, and at 17 when I graduated he put me in a private college. I could’ve left, but by that point I had so much fear in my heart because of him.
I had gotten two jobs so I could save and move out, and go back to Boston. I only did three years of college before dropping out. My dad was fuming, but I was 21, and I was ready to see my mother again
I hadn’t really kept up with the triplets because I didn’t want to endure that pain, but about a year ago I saw they were really famous on youtube. My tik tok page has become full of videos of these people I used to be so close with, and my ex Matt.
It was so crazy to see, but yet again we never spoke to each other for these 5 years.
Flashback Over
“God this is crazy” I said examining these Polaroids of us
I went downstairs to my mom
“Hey mom look what i found” I said shaking her the Polaroids
“Holy shit, you and Matt” she said looking at the pictures
“So crazy how fast 5 years can change everything” I said
“Man yall had such cute innocent love” she said smiling at the pictures
“Yeah I never talked to them again after i left” I said
“Yeah I know they’re mom always asked about you, you know they're super famous on social media now. They were just on tour last I spoke to their mom” my mom said
“Yeah I’ve seen it on my social media pages….its so crazy” I said
“You know Matt’s super cute now” she said winking at me
“Mommmm stop” I said laughing
“I’m just saying, you know You should see if they’re home I know that they live half in LA and half here because of their job” she said
“Mom I doubt they’d remember me or care because it’s been so long” I said rolling my eyes
“You act like you’ve been gone for 20 years, they will remember you” she said laughing
“I don’t know. I feel like we grew apart at this point, so would they really care to see me?” I said
“I’m sure Mary Lou always said they asked about you! Go on” she said shooing me
“Okay” I said giving up
I decided to walk over to the Sturniolos house, knocking and getting super nervous about who would open the door.
I heard walking, and suddenly the door was opening up
“Hi” I heard Mary Lou say as she opened the door
“Hi Mary” I said smiling at her, she looked at me a little confused before suddenly her eyes got wide
“Y/N??” She said shocked
“Yes!” I said smiling at her
“Oh my god! Look at you! You’re all grown up. My god it’s been so long” she said pulling me in for a hug
“I know…. 5 years and 6 days to be exact” I said pulling away from the hug
“Please come in” she said waving me in
We walked to the kitchen where I sat at the island
“Jimmy! Come look who’s here” she yelled
Suddenly Jimmy came in from upstairs
“Holy shit!” He said smiling at me and pulling me in for a hug
“When did you get back?” He asked
“About a few hours ago actually” I said
“Man the boys prayed every day you’d come and visit” he said
“Yeah I know….my dads not the nicest” I said shaking my head
“I figured it was him” Mary Lou said
“Are you back for good?” Jimmy asked
“Yes! I’m back for good” I said smiling
“Oh wait till the boys hear about this” she said
“It’s so insane how fast 5 years go by” Jimmy said
“I know I was saying the same thing earlier….i'm just so glad to be back home” I said
“We are too! Man this is amazing” Jimmy said
“I should call the boys” Mary said, I assumed she meant FaceTime, and that they were back in LA
“They’ll be so happy to see you” she said
I smiled at her, and right before she went to call one of them, the front door opened
I heard three deeps voices laughing and talking
“Oh well never mind they’re home” she said
“We’re in the kitchen” Jimmy yelled out
Chris walked in first with Nick behind him, and then Matt behind Nick
“What the fuck” Chris said looking at me as he stopped in his tracks
“Is this real life?” Nick said looking at me
“Y/N?” Matt said looking at me with a shocked expression
“Yeah” I said smiling at them
The End
Alright guys I hope you liked this one, and lmk your opinions and if I should make a part 2 TEHEHE🤭🤭 love yall so very much, and always thank you for the support and love 🥹🖤🖤

2 for the ask game for each member of team RWBY!!!!!
Alright I’m home from work and have had time to think
2. Favorite canon thing about this character?
First of all this goes for every single one of them and my individual answers might overlap with this we’ll see. I love how much they’ve all grown and persevered! They’ve been through so fucking much both together as a team and separately and have come out on the other side of it. They were kids!! They made bunk beds and had food fights and were starting to figure out the types of people they wanted to be and then got thrust into Remnant’s Worst Divorce™️ and throughout all of it have only grown closer as a team (not friends family!!) and still have hope that they can make the world a better place (Keep moving forward!!!) (They all need therapy tho fr)
Ruby: she’s perfect just the way she is!! This is supposed to be about the canon things I love about these character but god do I want Ruby to see herself as an individual separate from Summer. I think she’s getting there after her talk with the blacksmith. She’s just so accepting of people without hesitation. Penny is a robot? Don’t care new best friend. Little is a talking mouse? Don’t care new best friend pt 2. I’m sure there’s other examples but she’s always so ready to just let people be who they are and I wish she’d give herself that same grace
She’s also just a giant fucking nerd. About weapons about comics about video games
Weiss: 🗣️🗣️I DONT KNOW WHO YOU THINK YOU ARE BUT LET ME TELL YOU WHO I AM. I AM THE GRANDDAUGHTER OF A HERO AND THE CHILD OF A VILLAIN. I AM A CITIZEN OF A FALLEN KINGDOM AND AN HEIR TO NOTHING. I WILL NOT BE DEFINED BY MY NAME BECAUSE I WILL BE THE ONE TO DEFINE IT. I AM WEISS SCHNEE AND I AM A HUNTRESS🗣️🗣️
Also I love that she’s canonically a fairly well known (at least in atlas) singer. Now I’m not sure she’d do that by choice based on what we saw in v4 but it’s super cool that that This Life is Mine is canon to remnant because of that. Also Jacques made her sing and she was like alright bet and then roasted him in song on stage in front of all those people and we don’t talk about that enough I think
Tumblr media
Blake: I say that’s my baby and I’m really proud
Blake tells Sun she joined the white fang 5 years ago in v2. She was TWELVE she was a BABY!! If I had to give Blake a word the way she gives others a word it would be conviction. She never gives up on what she believes in. And she does her best to support others in doing the same, in v7 she tried to encourage ironwood and in v9 she tried to encourage Ruby poor girl got shut down both times but she tried!!
I also love how Blake is canonically a good artist and would like to see more of that. crwby show us a drawing Blake made of Yang
These:
Tumblr media
Yang: this girl can fit so much love in her god. She goes to any and every length to protect the people she loves even if it’s to her own detriment (which someone really needs to have a conversation with her about) the Yellow Trailer tells us straight away that there’s more to her than meets the eye and yet there are people who fell into that trap anyway and criticize her character for “not being fun anymore” as if that isn’t the point!!
She’s so confident and cocky until a pretty girl Blake flirts with her I love the disaster lesbian representation.
She punched god in the tiddies!!! And she’d do it again I bet! Maybe we’ll see her punch one or both of the Brothers next I’d like that

I don’t think Beatrice and Ava are at all oblivious to each other’s attraction I just think they both had reason to not pursue it those two months
For Beatrice
The obvious obstacle is she’s a nun who has vows but also very afraid of rejection for who she is from society, God, friends and family, not to mention how she was raised is a big ol’ wall in her path to a relationship with Ava.
One thing I don’t see brought up enough is that she could have totally realized Ava was attracted to her but thought it was like a fleeting thing, because from Beatrice’s perspective Ava probably flirts with a lot of people (JC, Micheal even tho she wasn’t Beatrice still sees it like that plus all those “friends” she apparently scared off) she doesn’t want to be an experiment for Ava or something Ava wants in the moment because she believes Ava’s impulsive and in Beatrice’s mind it’s a lot more real than just attraction to her
They are living together working together and training together and if that tight rope of friendship isn’t walked on perfectly there is no escaping each other possibly leading to disaster not just of their friendship but of the whole mission. And speaking of the mission I think it’s always been in the back of Beatrice’s mind that Warrior nuns don’t last long after seeing what happened to Mary and Shannon she didn’t want to repeat it
For Ava
A couple of people pointed out how much Ava respects others consent like I don’t think she would have went for it no matter how much she wanted to or even if she knew Beatrice liked her like that because she believed Bea wasn’t ready to go there. I think if anything happened in Switzerland Ava wanted it to be Beatrice who made the first real move since it was her who took vows. They were definitely on the right path in Switzerland but not in a place to make that leap yet at least form where Beatrice was
I noticed a lot of the times Ava got emotional or mad at Beatrice it was because she was frustrated Beatrice didn’t see how much she had grown or changed as a person. Like she is working so hard to become a person she thinks is worthy of Beatrice and anytime Bea was disappointed or mad at her you can just see how distraught Ava gets. She wants to get into a relationship with Beatrice when Bea finally sees her as a changed person who isn’t selfish, impulsive or flighty. Basically she wants to feel on equal footing with Beatrice not someone who has to be looked over protected and told what to do she needs that validation that she’s ready from Beatrice and she didn’t feel she earned that until she was willing to sacrifice her life for the mission/Beatrice
Kind of leaping off the last one is that Ava has major abandonment issues, she’s worried she’d scare Beatrice away if she revealed just how deeply she cares for her because attraction is one thing but Ava is literally head over heels I’d sacrifice my life, I’d sacrifice the world for you kind of in love and if Beatrice was only attracted to her and not at that deep level of love I think Ava would be scared that would be the one thing that could make Bea run away
I think both of them are really smart people so to say they were just oblivious to all/most those looks, touches, jealousy and affections while being around each other 24/7 practically is kind of an insult to their social/emotional intelligence. They just had some really big things holding them back in Switzerland and it took the “end of line” for them to have that dam finally break

Writeblr intro
Hallooo..
not sure if I'm doing this right... tbh, idek what to put on here. Anyhow, I've been writing for about two years now (YAY!!). I mostly write poetry although as I write this most of my posts are short stories of the fantasy variety. I like reading swoon-worthy romances so if you write anything that makes me blush and kick my feet like the teenage girl I am, I will follow you and maybe stalk all your posts. If you are the grammar police I must warn you that you will be forced to arrest me after reading my posts (I'M WORKING ON IT, not really tho).
I've been on Tumblr for idk how long but I keep ghosting the app (Life and whatnot) I'm craving community, especially with fellow authors, maybe ones with more writing experience (I am a newbiiieee). Guys... I swear I won't ghost again 🤭.
And here are all my labels for all my lovely people:
She/Her
WOC
Queer (bi or pan idek man this sexuality shit aint for the weak of heart)
Retired Stoner (Moved to a place where I can't smoke)
Raging bitch (Moved to a place where I can't smoke)
Capricorn Sun, Sagittarius Moon, Capricorn Rising (Raging Bitch)
Not actually a raging bitch, just think it's funny (Please like me)
ADHD (Prone to run on sentences and overusing parentheses)
Chronically misunderstood (Capricorn)
Very Annoying (Sagittarius Moon)
Certifiably Woo-Woo (Hence the astrology references)
Not Funny (I think I'm hilarious and spent 5 minutes straight laughing at this little section)

In actuality, it's a story about a young woman (Yours Truly) coming to terms with her deeply feeling nature and Depression. The poems describe the heaviness of emptiness and the overwhelmingness of intense emotions.
Excerpts:
Haunted House
Feelings stick to my walls like ghosts,
How is an exorcism performed on a memory?
How do I let them pass through me?
An Apology to The Crone
Pressing my tiny fleshy palms to my ears,
I refused to hear the wisdom of the crone.
Her voice was scratchy with use,
As she warned me of my journey.
I’d close my eyes with every disaster.
The niggling feeling would whisper a wrong,
And I’d pray to God my feet were swift,
So, they could carry me away.
I’d refuse to harden,
Reasoning that beauty is only found in the soft.
I waited to be taken by my knight.
I never cared that the gleam in her armor was an illusion.
I stand unprepared for the cruel world.
Preserved in my maidenhood.
Having grown tired of disobedience, 
The crone has abandoned me.
Only now do I see the clarity of your wisdom,
I will forever be sorry.
A Terrible High
on occasion
there are quiet moments
where minds begin to fill blanks
when small things grow
rock to boulder
smashing me against the ground
flat
nothing 
2D
I’m nonexistent.
If I were nonexistent
the boulder would simply blow through
and I’d be nothing.
And I’d be okay.

hey! Love your fics, especially "binoculars see all" was soo good, one of my all-time faves. Wanted to request a fic with Larissa where reader is on a date to get over her n the date gets too handsy or something and Larissa goes all shining knight mode and saves reader
This actually turned out rather angsty which is not something I'm used too, I suppose It was my own experience of unwanted advances kinda snuck its way into this that this was kinda written. Though I do wish I had Larissa to curl up with after it happened😭
Sorry for it being quite dark it does have a happy ending tho!
...
Her knight in shining armour
Larissa Weems x reader
⚠️ warning: unwanted sexual advances⚠️ please be warned
...
It’s been 2 months since Larissa had rejected you, those months have been spent with you on autopilot. Blocking out all emotions and avoiding your boss at all costs. Even if it meant diving behind students to go unseen, earning you lots of weird stairs from your students.
A few days ago your best friend and fellow teacher Layla Maxwell had set you up on a blind date. “you need to get back out there! You can’t lock yourself in your room after classes”
She had a point and you thought about it. Fuck it what was the worst that could happen and it could actually help you get over the silver haired beauty.
Tonight was the night and Layla had helped you pick your outfit knowing you would probably pick an oversized sweater and jeans with the mood that you had been in.
She picked out something sexy, something that showed off every attribute you had going for you as well as a generous amount of cleavage.
So there you were sitting in a local bar waiting for your blind date sipping on a negroni. “y/n”
You turned to see a stunning beauty in front of you. Maybe this date wasn’t going to be a disaster you smiled at her “Regina?”
A big smile spread across her face “that’s me!” she took your outstretched hand and turned to kiss your knuckles making you blush.
You had just finished your drink and she noticed “how about I get us some drinks?” you nodded and she took a seat at the bar beside you and ordered some drinks.
The night was flying in and you were having a good time but you had noticed how fast Regina had been nocking back the drinks. She had increasingly becoming more flirty and her hands had started to wonder. Words were slurring too and you had become quite uncomfortable, Regina had even started asking uncomfortable questions.
Regina started with a hand on the shoulder but had moved it lower resting on your lower back but you grew very uncomfortable when they began to go lower and you jumped out of your seat when you felt her squeeze your ass.
You jumped off your seat very flustered and not in a good way. “I’m just going to the power room” you squeaked, rushing off.
You hunted through your bag to find your phone to give Layla a piece of your mind for setting you up with a handsy drunk.
Not looking in front of you, you felt yourself crash into something strong and hands wrap around you to steady you. “oh god I am so sorry!” you look up to see those icy blue eyes that you had been working so hard to get over and avoid.
“Principle Weems!” you gasped not expecting to see her in a place like this. She looked stunning, she was wearing a tight golden dress that hugged her waist snuggly and she looks like a goddess.
“Please we’re not in work, call me Larissa” smiling down at you, realising her hands were still wrapped around you she retracted her hands with a blush across her face.
You shyly look down finding her eyes too intense “I’m sorry for bumping into you Larissa”
“it’s perfectly fine, I would recommend you keep your eyes up from now on” her hand took your chin and tilted your head up. Sucking a breath in you looked into her eyes, you were in a trance and never wanted to leave it.
“I.. uh” the door to the bathroom swung open and there was Regina staggering in.
“Y/n! Where have you been! Can’t leave your date for too long” she practically shouted and staggered over to you, not noticing your moment with Larissa. She wrapped around your waist and putting her whole weight on you causing her to slam into the wall and her pressed up against you.
Larissa’s eyes widened “I should leave you to it then. let you resume your date” not noticing you reaching out to her and a uneasy look on your face.
“I almost thought you ran off on me” Regina purred into your ear, the smell of strong alcohol on her breath making you cringe.
“I.. uh..” mumbling trying to string a sentence together from feeling so uncomfortable.
Regina’s hands moved to your hips and you gasped. She lay a kiss on your neck and you pushed her off “I’m sorry I can’t do this”
You ran out of the bathroom only to have Regina follow you out and grabbing your wrist to turn you around to face her and pull you into a kiss.
You squeaked and tried to push her away again but her grip on your waist was tight. You began to panic a bit and prayed for someone to come to rescue you.
“I thought we had something blossoming” Regina purred “No! Your drunk and I’m sorry this isn’t going to work”
You closed your eyes as she leaned in again and a tear rolled down your cheek. Suddenly you felt cold air between you as you felt yourself pulled back and colliding with something warm again.
Opening your eyes to see Larissa holding you close and Regina stumbling back. “Hey what’s your deal!”
“she said no” Larissa growled, you had never seen her so angry, you felt so safe in her embrace and moved to hide behind her. Her arm making sure you stayed close.
“oh come on! Y/n you were having fun right!?” You shook your head and tucked your head away into Larissa like a child hiding behind their mother.
“I think its time for you to leave” Larissa stepped forward looking for intimidating by the second.
“screw this I’m out” Regina grabbed her bag and coat and marched out the door of the bar.
Larissa turned to you and you wrapped your arms around her in a hug. The tears flowed and she wrapped her arms around you, running a hand over your head in soothing motions.
“let’s get you home” Larissa led you to grab both your belonging. Making sure you wrapped up so you wouldn’t get too cold with the night air.
The taxi back was quiet, you stayed curled up in her arms, it was the only way you felt remotely safe. Larissa had no complaints she soothed you and lead you back to your room.
Stopping at the door when you entered, you turned to her “thank you for helping earlier”
“It’s perfectly ok, I couldn’t stand by while you were being treated like that” she shuffled awkwardly and you took her hand.
“can.. can you...” you took a breath in “can you not leave me alone tonight” Larissa smiled at you and nodded.
Leading her into the room you both started to get ready for bed and giving Larissa some spare pj’s.
Not one of you spoke a word, crawling into bed. Facing each other Larissa pushed a curl out from your face making you smile.
“Thank you for staying with me” you whispered
“happy to be here for you” she said smiling to try and bring you some positivity.
Her hand rested against your cheek “can I say something”
“anything” blushing at her touches, it felt so different with her, every touch was soft and caring not rough and hungry.
“I want to let you know I regret rejecting you, seeing you tonight made me realise that” she let out a shaky breath “I don’t want to see you with someone else, not when I can’t treat you like the goddess you are”
You pulled her in for a hug, she left you speechless. “will you go on a date with me?”
It was your turn to accept or reject her and all you could do was nod as you hid your face in her neck.
She couldn’t help but giggle at you being so shy and wrapped her arms around you laying a soft kiss to the top of your head.
“goodnight darling” you drifted off to sleep in her arms, it was the safest you had ever felt and now you knew she liked you back. Everything felt right again, you didn’t feel like a robot hiding your emotions you felt happy.

thinking more thoughts about vampire yuucho 🤓
in this au i think yuu would be a barmaid eventually turned Regular Maid lol. the first time she encounters the matsunovs its closing up and walking home and everyone (but especially choro) gives her the Stare from the shadows of an alleyway while shes just like 🚶‍♀️💨
they keep having Almost Interactions in the dead of night and it kind of freaks her out. finally choro cant take it anymore and drops off a letter at her door... yuu finds it in the morning and its a call for a live in housekeeper........! the specifications are pretty vague - whoever sent this is just looking for someone to keep the place clean while the owners take a trip overseas for an extended period of time. seems a little sus but the pay is well over twice what she makes at the bar AND no more close calls walking home in the middle of the night?! so she's like lmaooooo bye and packs up her stuff and arrives at... matsunov manor.
just like the letter said it appears there's nobody here - but it does look lived in so it probably wasn't a trick...? since there's no one else there it's pretty easy to finish her chore list every day and still have time to go out to town for a few hours every day. falling into a daily routine comes easily, and she sleeps soundly enough at night that she doesn't notice the sounds of someone (or something) moving around at night... but it does bother her that sometimes she wakes up and things look like they've been messed with overnight. but that's just her imagination right? her pay always arrives on time, and the manor has nice amenities, so she can't bring herself to quit... she keeps trying to convince herself that she's definitely here by herself...
until one night, where she wakes up well past midnight and wants a glass of water. she makes her way through the maze of hallways and staircases that lead to the kitchen. where she finds.....
not one, but five men hanging out in one of the lounges 😨 and she can see that they've all got prominent fangs and pointed ears... cue huge freakout and her trying to fight them all in a cartoonish chase sequence. eventually they all grab hold of her and are like WE CAN EXPLAIN and she's losing her shit because THERE ARE VAMPIRES HOLDING ME DOWN AND THEYRE SO FAWKING STRONG HELLO? ARE THEY GOING TO SUCK ALL MY BLOOD? HELPPPP
they all blame it on choro immediately lmfao. he steps out from a dark corner in the room and sheepishly explains that he wanted to get to know her better, totally not eat her, and he couldn't think of a better way to do it since he can't go out in the daytime 🤦‍♀️
the whole scenario is so unbelievable all yuu can ask is "so the owners aren't away traveling?" and the matsunovs are like erm... we're the owners. this is our house. "and... you definitely aren't going to kill me or suck my blood...?" we were going to at first but this place was lowkey a disaster until you showed up and choromatiu likes you so if anyone sucks your blood it's gonna him. "EXCUSE ME"
all that and she doesn't leave tho. bc the pay is too good. she's simply accepted her fate as the live in housekeeper/plaything to the local vampire family. she starts doing some of the housework at night so they can get to know her better. also she cant stop staring at choro now that she knows hes into her

Finally assembling some of my thoughts about Only Friends episode 4, let's gooooo!! And let's start with the Top/Boeing/Sand situation because why not~~
We finally got confirmation that the guesses were correct that Sand hates Top because Top stole his ex, presumably Boeing, since he's the only named ex we have so far for either of them, so now we get to speculate about -how- that went down and what it means for the characters. Which means I obviously have ONE MILLION QUESTIONS and things to think about here because there's just soooo muuuuccchhhhhhh.
What we know for sure is that Sand dated Boeing, then Boeing dated Top. That's it. That's all.
The clear implication is that after breaking Sand and Boeing up, Top dated Boeing for at least some period of time, long enough to end up with distinction as an ex and not just a hook up, and for Top to have something he's kept from the relationship (and Sand to have kept EMOTIONS).
Was Boeing manipulated into at least starting the relationship? Sand says specifically that Top "stole" his ex, which means manipulation could have been involved, and we've seen that Top is willing to do or say things to get sympathy or sex. Or does that mean Sand thinks of it as manipulation when it possibly wasn't, the eternal cursed thought loop of a person who gets dumped for someone else?
Was the relationship already on the way out and Sand wasn't aware until it was too late that Boeing had one foot out the door, like Alan and Wen in Moonlight Chicken even before Wen meets Jim? (Which would make it even better if we get Mix playing Boeing like people are hoping (it's me, I'm people)) The way Sand clearly feels about it would make sense if he was unaware or in denial of the state of the relationship, and would make the dig from Top about not being able to take care of what's his even more pointed.
Sand is still carrying plenty of anger and resentment over the breakup, and has clearly placed all or most of that on Top's shoulders. Boeing must have meant a lot to him; some of his hesitation with Ray might be leftover avoidance of commitment because of how badly things ended with Boeing and not entirely caution or concern about how much of a disaster bean Ray obviously is. He's been burned and hurt before and doesn't want to risk that again, especially with someone who is possibly not fully committed to him, which might be something we get more of him dealing with based on some of the trailer bits we've seen for the future. At least with Ray, the one thing he won't have to worry about is Top stealing him- tho Ray's lingering feelings for Mew might feel too similar to what's he's been through before.
How seriously did Top actually take his relationship with Boeing? Enough for him to keep the plane at his place- as a sentimental keepsake, or a trophy of a conquest? Top clearly doesn't think that Sand should still be mad at him from how casually he takes Sand's mic at the end of the first episode and how surprised he seems when Sand flips him off at the party. It implies he didn't think the entire situation was that serious, despite Sand still hating him over it and having resentments when it's clear that this wasn't a recent occurrence. Top doesn't seem to take much seriously in general though, so who knows.
Boston tells Mew that Top never dates anyone for longer than a few months. Mew asks if Boeing was a favourite ex and Top says "just someone from the past" which comes off to me as him being dismissive in order to reassure Mew, and less genuine, as he knows he needs to say whatever he can to get Mew to do what he wants in that moment. This could mean that Boeing meant more to him than he's letting on- just because Top doesn't date anyone for long doesn't mean that Top is the one who always ends the relationships. Did he do something to push Boeing away or did the relationship end because Boeing wanted to move on from both Top and Sand?
Either way, the airplane is the only physical sign we have so far of Boeing's existence, as Boeing is otherwise completely removed from the picture. Sand hasn't mentioned Boeing until now, as Boeing seems to be fully in his past besides his hatred of Top and maybe a little relationship trauma; Top has the plane still, but clearly didn't think that talking about Boeing was important until he absolutely had to, which implies it's fully in his past too.
The possible contrast between the relationships that Sand and Top had with the same person could be really interesting and I just want to know more about Boeing and everything that happened with all of them. I'm excited to see if we get Boeing flashbacks (Mixxxxxxxxxxxxx) or even modern Boeing interference if he's also still a student at the school; this show could go anywhere and Boeing showing up now could make some fun messes for these boys for sure 👀👀👀👀 (finally being able to talk with @poetry-protest-pornography about Only Friends ep 4 is giving me the chance to flex a lot of the half thoughts I had on watching it that I hadn't gotten around to writing down yet so there might be more posts coming before saturday and the next episode hits)

Just the Beginning
happy chaer day everyone!! my mind is tired but i absolutely love this lovely baby with whatever's left of my heart HAHAHHA i hope you all enjoy this! also i'd like to note that in my mind this happens in a few years rather than in current time lee chaeryeong x reader disclaimer/s : none, once again, fluff HAHAHA i'll get back to smut one day yall not today tho
Tumblr media
With the length of you and Chaeryeong's relationship, everyone around you individually were familiar with each other to a friendly degree. It was what you'd both wanted. So the members had shared dinner with your friends, your family's had been familiar with one another, and your pets had developed a symbiotic relationship.
So when the idea of moving in together presented itself...there was no question about it.
Chaeryeong lay on your chest as you both lounged on your apartment's couch watching a reality show Ryujin and Lia suggested the two of you watch. You chuckled softly at one of the more questionable thing that the person did.
"They're just asking for disaster..." You mutter as Chaeryeong nestles closer to you. Humming contently making you look down at her with a fond smile before she looked back to you with a shy smile and flushed cheeks. You reached up and brushed a stray lock of hair out of her face, admiring her delicate features, heart melting at the sight.
Without a second thought you leaned forward, pressing your lips gingerly to her forehead. A warm feeling rushing through Chaeryeong as you did. "I absolutely adore you, Chaer..." You pulled away to stroke her soft cheek, admiring her again. "I wish these moments never had to end..."
"Who said they have to...?" The singer asked shyly, meeting your eyes. You quirked a brow curiously, smile never wavering. "Are you implying...?" You trailed off, pulling her closer.
"Let's move in together, Y/n."
Soon after that night, you got to work on convincing JYP to let Chaer live with you. After rigorous meetings, piles of paperwork, and dozens upon dozens of promises to her members, JYP, and her managers, she was finally cleared to move in.
Packing all of her stuff took mere days when you and the other members, who pouted the entire time, helped out. And in spite of all the teasing and the jokes that came during the packing, you were both excited to begin a new chapter of your relationship together.
In the blink of an eye, you and Chaeryeong closed the doors to your shared unit. Once it was clear the members and their manager were gone officially, you immediately pulled Chaeryeong by the waist, hoisting her into the air excitedly as she squealed ecstatically.
You pulled her onto the couch, staring up at her as she straddled your waist, bright and excited smile on her lips. Eyes brimming with pure joy. Chaeryeong leaned down boldly, nuzzling her nose against yours affectionately.
"Best decision of my life..." You muttered before her hands rubbed your neck gently. "Our life, N/n." She corrected, with a slight pout. A dopey grin grew as she spoke. You nodded and pecked her lips quickly, wiping the pout away.
"Our life then."
After a bit of unpacking, Chaeryeong had fallen asleep on your bed. You completely understood that and decided to prepare her a special dinner for your first night together. You rummaged through your cabinets to see nothing but canned goods and chips.
You bit your lip, devising a plan. Looking back to the bedroom, you decided that a quick run to the store to retrieve ingredients wouldn't hurt anyone. You scribble a quick note and place it under a glass of water on your bedside table before sprinting out of the unit.
You could have only been gone twenty minutes at most but the you did not expect what was waiting behind the entrance to your apartment.
"Auntie N/n!!" A pair of squeaky voices called from your couch before you felt tight arms around your leg and torso. You nearly drop the bags of groceries in shock but quickly compose yourself, leaning down to hug the children, your sister's kids.
Panicking a little, "Is your mom here?"
The older of the two shook their head staring up at you with wide eyes and a gap-toothed grin. "Just Chaeryeong-unnie! Did you know that she knows TWICE, Auntie?!" They rambled on excitedly. Before you could respond, your girlfriend's voice caught your attention.
"Y/n? There you are!" You ruffled your niece and nephew's hair gently before placing the bags on the table and pulling Chaeryeong into a tight embrace. "Your sister dropped by and needed to tend to something. I though that it'd be okay if the kids stay here for a bit."
You smiled and nodded, pecking her lips quickly before hearing a chorus of "eeews." You chuckled against your girlfriend's lips before looking at the kids.
"Oh 'eeew' huh? Get over here, little stinkers!" You called before they squealed softly, chasing them around the living room. Chaeryeong threw her head back giggling when you caught both kids in your arms, to which your raised a brow. "You think you're safe Lee Chaeryeong? Kids go get her!"
Obediently, once the kids touched the ground, they chased after the tall idol who playfully gasped before slowly running away, giving them ample time to get her.
The late afternoon flew by, finding new ways to keep each other entertained. Cooking dinner together with the kids while Chaeryeong burst out into song with your niece who'd come to be rather attached to the other woman.
Soon, your nephew and niece had begun to drift into a deep sleep while watching a Disney movie flashed on your television, tuckered out after Chaeryeong lead them in a mini dance party after dinner. You walked into the kitchen, wiping your damp hands from washing the dirty dishes. The singer looked adoringly at children before you both.
You wrapped your arm around your girlfriend's waist, placing a loving and lingering kiss on her temple. There was a moment of silence as you savored the stillness of the moment.
"We kicked butt at this, didn't we?" You asked playfully, moving to properly look at the woman in your arms. Chaeryeong nodded, taking a deep breath, leaning back into your embrace. "Think we could handle our own little scamps...?"
Your girlfriend smiled warmly before fully turning to look at you. Her hands trailing your jaw before placing a long kiss on your lips. Not breaking away until a relatively loud sound effect from the TV jolted you both apart.
"I guess I could get used to a life like this, N/n..."
full disclosure, more or less this is something that happened between me and my ex HAHAHAH we were playing with her little brother and she kinda hyped up a future between us and i kinda just thought of it ig HAHAHAH i hope you all enjoyed this!! i kinda rushed it ngl which i feel super bad about but i will do better next time, my lovelies!! i will see you all vv soon 💖 keep safe everyone and i love you all so, so much, my lovelies!! - r

I think I’ll go ahead and come off of anon xD. Mostly cause I have thoughts and would like to have someone to talk to lol.
Tbh, my emphasis on her fatal flaw being self sacrifice is probably a bit of a knee jerk reaction to how it tends to be portrayed in the fandom at large. ‘Cause it seems a common thing to portray her hubris as arrogance and I don’t think she’s very arrogant at all.
If I remember correctly she never really tries to place herself above anyone else. Heck, at the end of TLO she says that Percy saved the world and he corrects it to “us”. She’s even the first person to give credit to Tyson at the of SOM.
How it does manifest the majority of the time tho (at least in my opinion) is via reckless overconfidence. There are 3 instances which are usually used as examples to her nearly dying from her fatal flaw. The sirens, the sphinx, and Arachne. Of those the ones that are more overtly arrogance are the the latter two (tho I personally hesitate to include the sphinx because the dialogue to me sounds more like she’s having a neurodivergent breakdown but that’s another discussion). Everything else tho? The sirens, the manticore, the sky, the helicopter, fighting after getting stabbed, etc? Heck, volunteering for quests in general? Either reckless overconfidence or her just moving without thinking in defense of someone else.
TLDR, it’s not that I think she isn’t prideful, I just think she’s more likely to die to protect someone else.
Also, I think it’s kinda funny you say she’s not one to forgive when I personally think she’s one of the most forgiving people in the series. She forgives Luke and her dad, after all, even if, as you said, she never quite forgets. The only exception is probably Hera, which, I mean, is fair xD
- (Formally) A’s oath anon.
PS. I do write actually! Nothing for PJO yet tho not for lack of trying. I’m still in a bit of a writing rut unfortunately. Not to say I’m not interested in a collab with @glove23. I just don’t know how effective I’d be.
oh my GOD i love this!!! completely agree on her pride manifesting as reckless overconfidence, it's very much a sense of "i could do it and i could do it BETTER" that reminds me of the sirens' vision she had in the sea of monsters. honestly, her explanation of it hits the nail on the head - i think she says something along the lines of "but sometimes you just see the bad stuff/what if i could take everything down and rebuild it from scratch' which is so interesting to me!! i've said this before about her more emotional reactions, but annabeth, the supposed 'logical one', acts more on raw emotion than just about anyone. she gets angry and mad and JEALOUS, and she doesn't even attempt to hide it - that's what contributes to the way i write annabeth, which is pretty much as an emotional disaster. i love her so much
GOOD CATCH on her being forgiving; i really do think ive been confusing canon!annabeth with the version i have in my head?? either way, thank you for reminding me! annabeth is better than me frfr
i'd love to see what you've written, or if you ever get around to writing for pjo! i understand writing ruts, and i wish i had more advice on how to get those good ol' creative juices flowing, but all i can say for now is: don't force it. when you get into the mood, the words will f l o w.
@glove23 could probably help w that, tbh. they've been writing fics EVERY WEEK for what feels like 90 million years. i could never.

It's really hard. Being all alone.
Sure, I have my friends. But that's isn't the same as having family. I have no family. I can't ever go back to my family. They do not bring me anything positive to my life. But the alternative is nothing. Nobody.
Once Jon and I are done I won't have his family anymore. I have my friends, but they have their own families. I'm otherwise all alone. I have been for a very long time.
And while I'm in the best place I've ever been in my life I am the most alone I've ever been.
I have a great job with a great boss. I have wonderful friends that I adore. I have all my critters. Things have been falling into place. But my relationship is in shambles and I haven't spoken to my family in almost a year and I don't think I will be speaking to any of them again for a long time.
I have so much, yet so little. I feel very alone. I feel like I don't have anyone I can truly rely on for the important things. That's so scary. I am one disaster away from having absolutely nothing.
I want so badly to have family, yet my family wants nothing to do with the real me. They won't accept me for who I am. They won't love me for me. Their love is incredibly conditional. I don't feel safe with them. I don't feel secure with them. I only feel criticized and judged. I don't feel loved at all by them.
And with how bad the economy is getting and how iffy so many things are, I am so fucking afraid of everything coming crashing down. Which it just may do at any moment.
My boss smokes and drinks obscene amounts of Red Bull every day. Who knows if he's gonna just drop dead one day, leaving me unemployed. My landlord is planning to eventually move this house to the lake and use it as a cabin, which would leave me homeless. I can't go back to my family. I'd have to rehome all my pets. I'd have absolutely nothing left. I'd be screwed. And I know I can't live life constantly afraid of the unknown and the what ifs, but I can't ignore those things, either. I have to try to be prepared for those things so if they happen I survive.
I know buying that new camera was irresponsible. I shouldn't have spent that money. I should have kept that savings in the event I need it. I still have some, but not enough if something bad happens.
Idk, I think I'm spiralling. I guess the shit with Jon today just sent me into a depressive episode. I can see that, at least. Doesn't really make me feel better, tho. I'm just having a bad day. I don't know what to do. I just wish I had a mom and a dad...

I started act 3 of Inazuma but was quickly reminded that this is where it all falls apart. The NPC side questing stuff in acts 1 and 2 was often tedious, but it at least served a purpose, but making you captain of a squad? Having you fight random ronin, "investigate" some monuments? It's purely padding, and the stuff with Teppei is already racing ahead with absolutely no sense of pacing...
So I peaced out to explore Enkanomiya instead. I had opened it a long while back, but only progressed a bit of the main world quest chain. Now, it's at 100%, the shade quests are all done, and the key sigils are all used. As a result, I've also finished the Sacred Sakura's Favor.
Despite having all the islands except Narukami also at 100%, I'm a good ways off from buying out the sigil shop tho. I did get the furnishing I really wanted and finished my interior build though, and that's the important part.
When I explored Enkanomiya on my main, I was rather meh about it. I did it as it came out, and it felt like yet another dark, dreary, uninhabited place with lots of annoying climbing and holes where you couldn't see anything, like a good half of Inazuma before it. (btw, they didn't do any layered maps here either. They literally just did Sumeru because everyone must have complained, and Fontaine because of the underwater. The other old regions? lol who cares about them, amirite)
On the second go around, while I didn't enjoy Enkanomiya as much as Dragonspine, I did like it a lot more. It does have some extremely cool and striking visuals, and the sinshades really are a good touch. They tell some pretty interesting stories. I just wish this was somehow connected to the actual living characters we have. I liked both the older shades from Byakuyakoku's brutal history before the Orobashi and the newer shades from Enkanomiya's last day, talking about how they're going up to the surface. It's interesting that this was a place that was left behind purposefully. Not in a disaster, or from the population slowly wasting away like Sal Vindagnyr, but to move out into the light.
(It's really very interesting to compare the sinshades in Enkanomiya vs the lingering ghosts on Tsurumi after the fog is lifted vs the ghosts in Liyue. I still wonder what happened in Liyue to create the conditions for all those ghosts. We don't see that in any other modern nation.)
I also did some remaining world quests on the surface, for "Masanori" and Inaba Kyuuzou. It really reminded me of how full of potential 2.0 had felt, when Inazuma threatened to be going somewhere. The quests are very simple and short, but they have some actually pretty good character writing. Both these samurai guys are given very distinctive characterizations, and they portray pretty vividly the brutality of the war. "Masanori" also drops some interesting hints about Inazuma's society... But all this is ultimately aggressively wiped away in later patches, and by Sumeru, you can see how the writers have very decisively started aiming much lower.
(Hot take, but Sumeru's writing isn't particularly better than Inazuma's. It's just that Sumeru is ALL on the level of Inazuma's conclusion, so there's no sense of dissonance, like Inazuma having an interesting buildup that completely falls apart in the last act. Sumeru is just all bland, dragged out, surface-level time wasting the whole way through.)
But now there's nothing left to stall on. I have to do act 3, and then Ei's two quests, since that's required to unlock Ayato, Itto, and Thoma content.... sigh.

Hi! may i please get a comedy/angst one shot of a gn, possibly adhd, young adult reader getting caught up in a duck-mcduck adventure (donald, scrooge, the triplets, della, &/or webby) and just. Being so tired(depressed but in denial abt it) & having no regard for their own life (they fall like 10 feet and go "ow." in a deadpan voice, "lol too bad that didn't kill met, etc)? But they're fully willing to sacrifice their life for others? If too dark, just same reader being comforted on a bad day?
10 Feet Down
Scrooge McDuck & GN!Reader
Word Count: 1K+
Warnings: Implied suicide attempt/no interest in being alive sort of thing. Honestly I just thought Scrooge was such a bad comfort character, but I was wrong, although Donald is the best comfort character and cannot be used for a comedic hurt/comfort with low quality comedy lmao. for real tho, this is not my best work, but it's all i got
AO3: Link
Master List 1, 2
Tumblr media
[Y/N] yawned and tiredly recounted the days they have been couped up in the McDuck manor—76 days with the exception of yesterday and that “disaster of an adventure” Donald had called it. It wasn’t because they were being held hostage at the manor or anything of that sort, it was more of [Y/N] not being a fan of going outside and getting a taste of the harsh Calisota sun and breathing in the ocean air. They stared at the humming machine in front of them as it slowly brewed another pot of coffee. They were obsessed with the heavily caffeinated beverage regardless of the off-putting taste when they drank it plain. The homeowner loathed the bitter caffeinated drink but continued to buy the cute little machine capsules for [Y/N]. Despite Scrooge’s generosity, he constantly pushed for [Y/N] to try to drink something healthier, like tea. But to no avail. They refused time and time again. His tea didn’t have enough caffeine for them to make it through the long and boring days, it wasn’t sugaring enough to please their tastebuds, it just wasn’t a good drink.
They sighed and grabbed their favorite Irish pot’o’gold themed mug out of the designated mug cabinet (little joys in life consisted of collecting unnecessary objects that reminded them of their father-figure, but in a “I’m making fun of you, this isn’t meant to be affectionate” sort of way). They placed the mug down by the whirring machine and paced the kitchen, waiting for the slow machine to brew a full pot.
“Good morning [Y]—.” Bentina froze in the kitchen entry way. She watched the young adult pace back and forth in front of the machine. “[Y/N], you shouldn’t be up and about just yet. What are you doing up?” She asked.
[Y/N] stopped in their tracks and glanced over at the housekeeper. “I never went to bed.”
“Oh…” Bentina’s voice trailed. “Dear, that’s not good.” She started.
“I don’t want a lecture about what’s good for me. I know what’s good for me and what’s not, Mrs. B. There is only so much I can control.” [Y/N] snapped. They watched Bentina closely. “Sorry.”
Bentina shook her head. “It’s quite alright, you’re exhausted/. Exhaustion causes irritation.”
“I suppose…” Their voice trailed.
“Mr. McDuck wanted to speak with you today, he’s in his study if you want to talk with him now.” Bentina walked past [Y/N] and continued with her house keeping duties. “And try not to drink your coffee in front of him.”
They smirked. “I’ll drink the whole pot in front of him.”
Bentina sighed and nodded. “I know you will.”
[Y/N] quickly grabbed the finished pot and with a newfound and mischievous energy. They made their way to Scrooge’s study, walking faster than their legs have been moving. They slunk past a groggy Donald, who barely managed a “good morning” as he passed them. [Y/N] nodded in response. They almost felt bad for Donald, but they remembered that he’s only tired because chose to join the McDuck family on their adventure, much like [Y/N] and virtually everyone else. The adventure was something… [Y/N] stopped in their tracks and shifted their thoughts from the events from yesterday to the pot of coffee in their hands. They quickly lifted the pot to their bill and chugged what felt like half of the pot (but in reality, it was probably only two large gulps worth of liquid). They continued their journey toward Scrooge’s favorite hiding place in the manor.
It was strange to [Y/N], being part of the McDuck family without actually being related to anyone within the manor. How it came about was nothing but a blur to the young adult because it literally happened in a blur. They stopped at the door to Scrooge’s study and knocked.
“Come in.” Scrooge bellowed from behind the cracked door.
[Y/N] pushed the door open and flashed their father-figure a tired and lopsided grin. “Mornin’.”
“Do I smell that disgusting drink?” He didn’t look up from his desk. “Close the door behind ya.”
“Mhm.” [Y/N] pushed the door closed behind them and walked toward his desk. They sat down on one of the two chairs in front of the desk. “Mrs. B said you wanted to see me this morning?” They asked.
Scrooge nodded, still not looking up from his desk. “Yes, but I wasn’t expecting ya this early!” He peered up at the young adult. “You’re still full’a surprises.”
“I don’t know what you mean.” They deadpanned.
Scrooge nodded disappointedly. “I know you don’t.”
The silence grew between them as Scrooge had begun to forget [Y/N]’s presence in his study in favor of finishing his work before the day had really begun. His bill was buried deep in financials for the Money Bin and requests and suggestions from the Board and complaints and other papers from his employees and papers upon papers for other things concerning the Money Bin. His desk was full of business things that [Y/N] refused to understand because it looked too tedious and time consuming, they would much rather do anything but business—adventuring, directing, teaching, dance, acting, retail, food service, anything but owning a business! Well, none of those things actually seemed like things [Y/N] would like, but sometimes they did like those things. From their own rising boredom of the world around them, they begun to suspect that Scrooge was going to drill them about their future again. He only did that because he cared about them and wanted nothing more than for [Y/N] to have a future (unlike Donald who became a freeloader and unlike Della who has a list of mistakes that matches the length of her lists of successes). [Y/N] wasn’t the only one Scrooge cared for, the children ought to have futures better than Donald and Della as well; he wanted the future, the new generation to be as successful as he is, if not more so.
“I don’t want another lecture about my future.” [Y/N] spoke up and pulled their father-figure out of his work.
Scrooge looked up at the duck and raised his eyebrows. “What made ya think we were going to discuss that?”
They shrugged their shoulders. “Honestly, it seems to be the only conversation we have anymore. I miss when I could tell you about why the sky is blue or why a car engine works.”
“But you don’t know how a car engine works.” Scrooge knitted his eyebrows together.
“That’s beside the point, Scrooge.” They sighed.
Scrooge leaned back in his chair. “Scrooge?”
“That’s your name and I ought to use it, right?” [Y/N] said.
He blinked. “You’re family.”
[Y/N] inhaled deeply. “Am I?”
“What do you mean?” Scrooge asked.
“I don’t really feel like family, I never have.” [Y/N] said. “And I don’t actually want to talk about that either. I don’t really want to talk to you about anything personal.”
Scrooge swallowed. “I wanted to talk to you about what I witnessed yesterday.”
“I don’t understand.” They said.
“We could’ve lost you. That was a nasty fall. You could’ve died.” Scrooge said firmly. “That was more than a 10-foot drop, [Y/N]. I’m surprised you walked away with scratches.”
[Y/N] inhaled sharply. “I’m fine.”
Scrooge shook his head. “No, I don’t think you are. Honestly, I was beginning to think you were going through a phase that was similar to Donald’s—you know, the one he doesn’t talk about. I thought you were just avoiding the family, being rebellious, and learning who you are. But I was wrong. You willingly let that happened and you laughed about it. You laughed and wished it had killed you.”
“I don’t know what you mean.” They played dumb.
Scrooge sighed. “You’re not well, whether you want to admit it or not. None of us are daft, it’s not like we haven’t seen it before. Sure, at first, we missed the obvious signs, but we all know better now and we’re all very worried about you. [Y/N], family is the greatest adventure of all, and it would be a shame if you weren’t part of that adventure. I don’t want to see a repeat of yesterday.” He said.
“You can’t stop how I feel.” [Y/N] deadpanned.
Scrooge shook his head. “No, but I can get you some help. I have friends who know people, Donald knows people. There are people out there who help people like you for a living.”
[Y/N] looked down. “Are you going to get rid of me?”
“That’s not what I said at all. We’re getting you some help.” Scrooge repeated himself.
“I don’t want—.”
“Instead of getting help, you decide to try to throw your life away?” He asked as he leaned forward on his desk.
“No—yes—I mean…” [Y/N] stuttered. “I don’t think I thought you cared about me. You’re not the greatest at… parenting. But I was never your child to begin with, I was just another problem you picked up along the way.
Scrooge looked down at his hands. “A problem, yes, but you’re my problem, [Y/N]. Whether you like it or not, you’re a part of my family and I will do everything for my family. I will spare no expense on keeping my family alive and well.”
“I still don’t want help.” [Y/N] said.
“I will raise your allowance if you take the help.” Scrooge said. “And I won’t complain about your coffee habit.”
[Y/N] thought for a moment. “Don’t tell the children either. I don’t want them asking me questions the way they do with Donald’s anger management.”
“Deal.”
“And I want to use karate as a cover up since that’s something I did in my youth and the children don’t know about it. Easy lie.” [Y/N] smiled sadly.
Scrooge furrowed his eyebrows. “You took karate?”
“I wanted to take ballet, but the karate studio was the only place that would take an orphan.” [Y/N] chuckled.
“That explains so much about you.” Scrooge chuckled along. “No more adding anything to our deal.”
“Fine.”
Scrooge smiled. “That’s the first time you’ve laughed in months.” “Don’t ruin it.” [Y/N] smiled. “Thanks, dad.”
