(image id: 6 screenshots of the greater boston transcript. the first screenshot reads: “LEON (sounding tired)”. the second screenshot reads: “LEON: i - uhh - i can’t think straight. it’s as if...i...i need to rest. i need to rest. i need... sleep.”
the third screenshot reads: “LEON (simultaneous) - i think i need to rest. the fourth screenshot reads: “LEON: i - this is getting more challenging to - to - ...keep straight. ugh.”
the fifth screenshot is two excerpts from the transcript stacked on eachother. the one on the top reads “and all i can say is holy shit, leon. i don’t even know how you keep doing it. but you saved me again. like clockwork.
the one on the bottom reads: “ethan had recently read an article about the man who runs the master clock of the world, which most electronic devices used as the universal standard. this was a delicate position requiring incredibly intricate work, and not nearly as easy as some untutored boob would lead one to believe. the disgusting clumsiness embedded into all the ways laymen brayed about time, with purposefully simplistic sentences meant to lull dull minds into confident forms of foolishness. “like clockwork.” if there was no work at all! as if time just pushed the hands of the clocks by itself, through some grand mystical power. meanwhile, discussion of what it takes to master the brilliant delicacy of rendering time? one requires “surgical precision.” ask anyone who’s ever had surgery just how precise the pain was. the master clock position appealed to ethan. he’d be up for taking on the task, of course. perhaps one day he’d make it his ambition. but for now…“ there’s a highlighted segment. “”like clockwork as if there was no work at all!”
the sixth screenshot reads: “LEON: is that-is that an actual feeling of... remorse? i'm feeling-feeling too much. from far too many these days.“ end image id.)
.
...i can’t help but get the feeling that leon is probably going to be reaching his limit soon...
#i yell into the abyss#greater boston#greater boston spoilers#this is certainly a guy who is very tired if i've ever seen one!#i know he agreed to help gemma with red line but uh.............................. frankly i wouldn't at all blame him for peacing out#(i'm actually kind of hoping he does!)#also i'm sure hoping gemma wouldn't blame him for peacing out either because By God! That Looks Bad!#leon stamatis#also sorry for the weird image formatting but it was Important to me that they were Square and this is the only way i could think to do it#there's a whole thing like ''gemma'll help leon escape the crystal ball if he helps her with red line''#and i'm like yeahh.... but i uh...... don't really think he should HAVE to help her with red line in order for her to let him out#even ignoring the fact that it's her fault he's stuck in there anyway....... keeping him trapped in there just cuz he won't help her#................would be pretty messed up :(#there's also the little added part of the deal where she'll help him reunite with his siblings if he helps her and that's. better? i guess?#but again... getting him to his siblings is something that she could VERY EASILY do..... AND he's been stuck in there for YEARS.............#leon's helping her right now mostly because she asked normally and he wants to. but i feel like he shouldn't HAVE TO to like. EARN FREEDOM.#you know????????????#anyway: arugula's trailer got me wondering if we're going to be learning more about leon's character......#i guess we'll find out! <3#the images have comments attached to them that transcribe them

Wall of the faithless isn't canon in bg3. They changed alot of things actually. So no Gale isn't "scared" he's just an obsessed asshole who doesn't learn from his mistakes.
Oof...
Tumblr media
There's really nothing I can say except: you're wrong. The City of Judgement and the Wall of the Faithless are canon to BG3. If you don't like Gale, that's fine, but you don't have to make things up or completely disregard the lore to do it. Larian Studios literally hired people from Wizards of the Coast—the company responsible for all the canon lore, characters, and campaigns in D&D—to help them with the story. It took them five years, I believe, to fully study and understand the lore. They constantly conferred with the team to double, triple, and quadruple check every slice of content they added to the game, and parts of the game are now considered canon to D&D 5E.
Tumblr media
As for Gale "not learning" from his mistakes ... when you first meet him, he literally admits he made a mistake with Mystra. Though personally I don't see it as the "power-hungry" move people seem to think it is. Gale simply wanted to be considered an equal to his partner (really his groomer), which is a perfectly healthy and normal desire for anyone in a relationship. Your partner should treat you like an equal, but Mystra very clearly saw Gale as a pet. A trophy. A worshipper. Subservient. Beneath her. A silly mortal with delusions of grandeur (which she cultivated), which is really rich when you learn she was once mortal herself. Mystra is a hypocrite.
Tumblr media
Gale tried to prove himself worthy of equality by trying to bring Mystra what he thought was a piece of her missing Weave. For anyone who doesn't know, the current Mystra was torn to pieces by Cyric and Shar, then put back together by her Chosen. Though back to full power by the events of BG3, she's still technically missing pieces of herself, and Gale mistook the Karsite Weave for one of those pieces. Instead of simply telling Gale it was corrupted Weave, she let him go on believing it was hers. Personally I think that's because she was tired of him (maybe he got too old for her 😒) and was hoping he would do something that, in her mind, would justify abandoning him—but I admit that's full conjecture on my part. What is true is that she knew the orb wasn't hers, but for some reason she let Gale think it was. Even after she abandoned him and left him to die, she never told him. Not until she realised she could use him.
Tumblr media
In Act 3, while the argument can certainty be made that he's thirsty for power, Gale ultimately becomes fed up with the gods because, as he knows better than anyone, they treat people like commodities. While I have no intention of ever ascending him myself, it looks like he actually makes good on his word. He doesn't threaten or toy with his followers, he inspires people to walk their own path, he only asks for prayers as payment (as without some form of devotion, gods in D&D cease to be), and if you romance him ... he ascends you into godhood as his equal. Mystra could have done this for him, she just didn't want to. And if you don't want him to ascend, it's genuinely so easy. I don't understand what people are complaining about. It takes one conversation with zero checks to convince him to completely abandon his ambitions. One. If he was truly "power hungry", it wouldn't be that easy.
Tumblr media
Again, I would argue that Gale's true goal isn't really power, it's freedom, and divinity gives him that freedom. He has many conversations where he makes it clear he doesn't want to live under the gods' thumbs anymore; which, in a world like Faerûn, is extremely understandable. As I said in my Wall of the Faithless post, he's scared. Eternal torment for a simple mistake, one of which could've been avoided if Mystra told him the truth or treated him like an equal? When your partner is a goddess, how can you not feel inadequate? And if you convince him to give up the crown, he's perfectly content with Mystra's forgiveness. Even in the Early Access, that's all he really wanted.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Gale's far from perfect. He's arrogant and overconfident and insecure and he can be prone to emotional outbursts (most of which he apologises for, however), but he's nowhere near the heartless, power-hungry monster the haters seem to think he is. He is, in fact, one of the most compassionate companions in the entire camp, to the point that he accepts everyone, including Minthara. He votes for Astarion to stay when you find out he's a vampire. He gets mad at you if you surrender him to the Gur. He's one of the only companions who will openly marry/stay with you if you become a mindflayer. He's willing to sacrifice himself to save the world, and willing to damn himself to be with you. He loves every act of kindness, while hating every act of cruelty. I understand that the bugs from launch ruined a lot of people's perception of him ... and unfortunately some of those glitches are still present even now, but he is a good man.

Closed for maintenance. Leah williamson × reader.
This is part 2. I took a gamble on the ending. If you don't like it tell me so that I can change it.
PS: thank you for all the support ❤️❤️.
I woke up the next day with a painful headache. The light painfully affected my eyes as soon as I opened them. At first I didn't take in my surroundings, all I thought about was the pain. Then suddenly it all came back, the party, the drinks, Leah, the kiss. Holy shit Leah I kissed Leah. “Oh no why do I do this why the hell do I always do this. Fuck.” I cursed at myself. Then I jolted up. This is not my room, it's probably Leah's. I quickly inspected the room, no longer feeling the pain in my head as I was preoccupied with the trouble I got into. I then noticed a note that said “ good morning beautiful, come join me in the kitchen.” 
I got up to refresh my hair. I was still in yesterday's clothes, so I just tidied myself and went out to join her.
I was met with the cutest sight in the world. Leah blasting ABBA, dancing and cooking what looks like eggs. With the biggest smile on my face I said “ good morning cap.”. She embarrassed turned down the music and replied “ good morning to you sleepy head, you were drunk last night so I brought you home I am not sure if you remember “
“ I do remember everything despite the earth shaking headache I am experiencing right now.” I added, which made her nervous. 
“ Leah the pan it's burning.” I pointed out. “Shit. Oh god. What are we gonna do?” she said while putting the pan in the sink.
“ Well I guess the girls are having brunch, maybe we should join them.” I suggested, afraid of the outcome of us being alone.
“ Good Idea I am gonna go get ready you tell the girls we are coming together, I mean yeah…., not together like in the same car I guess.” She blurred out while going up the stairs.
On our way to the restaurant Leah seemed nervous, she kept fidgeting with the console not knowing what to do. I just ignored the tension and stared at the window.
Once we arrived we were greeted by Katie. “ Look who just showed up in yesterday's clothes late.” She said,
“ Katie fuck off please and thank you.”She replied, ushering me to an empty seat and pushing the chair out for me. “Such a gentleman “ said Katie, which earned her a stern look from Leah.
The conversation flew rather quickly, and the girls grew tired and started to leave one by one. After a while I was left with Leah alone.
“ We need to talk about what happened yesterday, it is eating at me.” She started, “ it , you, have been eating at me since you joined. You are one of if not the most beautiful human beings I know. You are kind, sweet, and confident. You are a leader and a good friend. I ….” She added before I stopped her when I put a finger on her mouth. 
“ I need you to listen to me Leah. I can't let this go far. I have been in a relationship with my teammate. It has ruined my career. I left Chelsea because of my relationship with Niamh. I lost friends because they were hers first. I was left alone. I like the family here at arsenal. I don't want to lose that. Plus my heart is closed. I don't want a relationship. I can't handle a relationship right now.” I said with tears falling down my cheek.
“hey it's okay. It's not gonna be like that. Here at Arsenal what is mine is theirs. We have formed a group with Katie, Caitlain, Lia, Alessia,and Steph. What is mine is theirs and vice versa. That fact is known within the team. They won't only be my friends they will be your family. You won't be isolated. If god forbid something happened. Do you understand me?” She said, nervousness was apparent  on her face.
I stayed quiet for a moment, not knowing what to say or what to do. “ If you are not up to it that's okay.” She said, worry in her face. “ I don't know what to think. Maybe I just need to understand more.” I replied.
“ Let's go to  Katie's house, there you will understand.” She added, grabbing my hand and leading me out of the restaurant.
And right then and there a new chapter in my life began.

hii, It’s possible to get an jey uso x reader where reader is a very confident wrestler who openly flirts with jey all the time and makes it know to the whole wwe universe that’s her man when they’re not even together. jey laughs it off because he thinks it’s all for the cameras till reader stops flirting with him and ignores him because she thinks jey doesn’t like her like that. jey realizes that he does like her and now he has to chase her now
REALITY, jey uso.
Tumblr media
warnings: curse words, pet names
tags: FLIRTY (Y/N) FOR THE WIN HELL YEAHHHHH, afab reader
summary: you will never know what you have until it's gone
IT was well known that you were head over heels for the man sitting down next to you with a beautiful smile plastered on his face. every single person inside this building knew that you were practically in love with him. it all started as an inside joke with the creative board that they were going to pair you up with none other than the main event, jey uso. but you caught real feelings and it wasn’t for the show anymore.
he was everything that you have ever wanted in a boyfriend. kind, funny, and most importantly–he was patient. you loved him with all of your heart. “you look handsome.” you winked at him. “thanks, how do you like my new hair, (y/n)?” “beautiful as always.” you grinned. “you’re such a flirt.” jey chuckled, opening the door for you. “hey, i only flirt with you, baby.”
you fixed his mic and he helped you with yours. “ready?” “yep!” you were going to shoot a video with him on your day off. “the undisputed tag-team champions are here! this is (y/n)!” you introduced yourself to the camera. “jey uso right here and welcome back to playback!” he continued the introduction. you were shooting a youtube video with him today. “we’re gonna watch one of our best matches ever… god, this was life changing! my man and i against becky and seth.” you narrated the fight.
"that stomp was so devastating." you cringed at the memory. "got my ass complaining backstage." jey added. "right! i felt my soul flying as soon as his boot connected with your neck." you shuddered. "my man takes all the bumps and i have to take care of him backstage. countless medic dates with him." you nudged him with your elbow. "but i still love you." you snickered. "yeah, yeah. she takes care of me a lot."
“and… cut!” you immediately stretched out your body, still feeling sore after yesterday’s workout session. “looking pretty tired, mama.” he patted your back. “still have the energy for tonight though.” you were going to help jey unpack with his furniture, he recently moved to your neighborhood. jimmy and trinity were also going to help, the 4 of you were a pack, even after trin left the company. “should i buy you a housewarming gift?” you suggested. “it’s such a shame you moved before us getting married! you could’ve moved in with me, hubby.” you teased him. jey just shook his head in response. "whatever you say, mama."
several crews were paying attention to the two of you. “are they married?” one of them whispered. “oh, you must be new here. nah, (y/n) just likes to flirt with him.” the other one replied. even the staffs knew that you were always attached to the hip with him. people were practically wishing that the two of you would end up together. “come on, baby. let’s go. trin is spamming me with messages.” you intertwined his hands with yours. “yeah, yeah. we’ll go now.”
you picked up a box, putting it down in his living room. "i can't believe we're neighbors now!" you were practically jumping with excitement. "i mean... i think it was about time that i moved, that apartment was falling apart." jey chuckled, remembering his old place. "and lucky for me to have my hubby near me." jey ruffled your hair. "hey, don't touch my hair!" you pouted. "yeah, what are you gonna do about it?" "i'm gonna fight you." you threatened him in a joking way. "bring it on." that commenced the play fighting you had with him.
"okay, maybe we came in at the wrong time." jimmy opened the door, seeing you on the floor with jey. "hi guys!" you greeted them with a smile. "what were you doing?" trinity put the cake on the counter. "fighting him like usual." you had jey on headlock, causing him to groan. "i swear if we weren't acting on stage, you could actually beat my ass." he sighed. "let's get to work so we can eat cake!" you grinned, letting go of his head.
trinity and jimmy knew that the love you had for their little brother was pure. but jey uso was just unaware of that. he'd brush it off, acting as if this was all a long-running joke. "okay, i think i'll take my leave now. i have to call my brother tonight." you announced to your best friends. "oh, you're not staying here?" jey tilted his head. "i'd love to have a sleepover with you, hubby! but i can't, i'll stay over next time. bye!" you went over and kissed the top of his head, only causing him to chuckle.
once you were out, jimmy shook his head. "swear no one loves you like she does." "nah, it's just a best friend thingy. she doesn't love me like that, dawg." jimmy and trin groaned in unison. "whatever you say, man."
friday came by and you arrived early to run some lines with jey. the two of you were going to cut a promo together, building up for a match against sami and kevin. “hiiiii!” you greeted him, walking into the locker room. “hey.” he replied with a smile. you couldn’t help but to feel butterflies in your stomach. “soooo,” you paused for a second, taking a seat next to him. “are we gonna kiss tonight?” jey rolled his eyes in a joking way. “you’re always trying to kiss me, mama.” “maybe that’s because i like you and i think you’re pretty.” you winked at him.
“the undisputed tag-team champions, jey uso and (y/n) (l/n)!” as usual, you were walking hand in hand with jey, your belts hanging off the your left arm. “let’s go, let’s go!” you hyped yourself up, taking in the energy from the crowd. “ay, ay! miami, we are in your city!” jey yelled to the microphone, lifting his finger up, playing out the script. “hiiiiii everyone!” you greeted the crowd with your usual cheery tone, earning a ‘hiiiii’ from them. “right, right. it’s about to be brutal for sami and kevin, i love their asses but they attacked my man last week! i’m gonna make it personal.” you played out the part.
jey was standing next to you, fully paying attention to you. he loved how you were so passionate about your work. especially your role. he thought that your flirty act was part of the joke, so he was used to you flirting around. but jey never thought of it being serious. with the gimmick you played out together as boyfriend and girlfriend, he grew accustomed to your flirty nature.
“damn, what a promo we did.” jey jumped on the locker room couch, feeling tired. “you did great babe!” you teased him. “and you look very boyfriend-ish today with your outift.” you added, winking at him. “i don't get it why you still flirt with me, it's so funny to me that you still play out your roll when we're off stage. that's very funny to me, i respect your dedication, (y/n).” he chuckled. his sentence made your heart drop.
your felt a pang on your chest. oh… oh, you thought. you didn't say anything. "you're riding with me right?" you shook your head. "actually, i think i'm sitting with bayley, she was trying to tell me something earlier." you lied, still trying to hold back your tears. he thought you were just messing around this entire time and that hurt your feelings. "oh, okay."
thankfully, you spotted bayley coming out of the locker room with iyo and dakota. "i need help." you muttered. "you looked stressed out, what's up?" she raised a brow. "can i just ride with you guys?" the women immediately knew that you were trying to avoid someone. "our bus is always open for you, babe." dakota patted your back.
jey didn't spot you on the way back to the bus. "anyone seen (y/n)?" he asked his coworkers. "she went with bayley, their bus left like 10 minutes ago." bianca replied, not looking up from her phone. "oh." jey took a seat on the back of the bus, alone, of course. "weird seeing you not sitting with (y/n)." montez added. "this is my first time not riding with her in years." jey admitted. it does feel weird, he thought. but like usual, jey immediately brushed it off, plugging in his headphones, not wanting to think about anything.
the night felt long to you. you sighed, brushing your wet hair as you felt a pang on your chest, replaying the conversation from earlier. “hey gir- are you okay?” trinity picked up the phone, clearly concerned about your current situation. “are you with jimmy?” trinity shook her head. “jey thinks i’m just joking around babe, isn’t it obvious that i am in love with him?” trin immediately understood your sentence. “i’m sorry, babes…” she sighed. “whatever, i guess. i’m being dramatic. i don’t want to deal with him.” you wiped the tear stain on your cheek.
“maybe i should just distance myself, trin. yeah… i'm not going bowling tomorrow.” trin smiled at you, pity plastering her face. “you know what’s best for you, babes. i’m here if you need to talk okay? i’ll even beat his ass if you want me to!” that sentence made you chuckle. “you don’t need to do that trin… i guess i’ll just watch some sad movies. good night, i love you.” “i love you too! let me send you some ice cream!” as soon as you sat down on your couch, you heard your notifications going off.
jey!!: still up for bowling tmrw with roman and the others?
jey!!: i’ll pick you up if you want to
jey!!: hellooooo?
jey!!: damn did you pass out or something?
jey!!: aight text me when you wake up good night
he furrowed his brows, waiting for you to respond. it had been a day and you still haven't replied. “(y/n) didn’t reply all night, you know where she at?” jey asked trinity. “nope, she didn’t reply to me too. think she’s out cold.” trin lied, trying to keep your secret. “damn… she loves bowling. i guess i’ll take her next week.” trin wanted to roll her eyes but she just nodded.
jey was walking alone in the arena. you didn’t reply to his text messages and it felt weird walking alone, not having you near him. “I’VE BEEN SAYING LIKE… THAT SHIT WAS SO FUNNY!” he heard your loud voice, decorating the empty hallways. jey immediately smiled and went inside the locker room, expecting you to jump in his arms, hugging him. the two of you hadn’t seen each other in a week and he missed your positive radiant energy.
you didn’t realize that he entered the locker room, you were still laughing with bayley over some dumb incident that happened weeks ago. “(y/n)! where have you been?” jey greeted you. this time, the hug he was expecting wasn’t there. all he saw was your smile dropping and a simple wave. “anyways, i need to go get ready for my interview, see you bayley.” you walked pass him. after closing the locker room door, he heard your laugh again. “iyo! hi, missed you!”
that was weird, jey thought. but he brushed it off as usual. sure, you had your days where you were not your usual self, but this was all new to him. you never ignored him before. showtime came and you were going to come out with him like usual. jey was already in gorilla position, waiting for you to come. “where were you?” he asked, clearly confused. “i was with iyo.” you shortly replied, not looking at him. “are you okay?” jey furrowed his brows. “perfect.” your music started and you immediately took his hand like usual.
“you killed it, mama!” the segment ended and the two of you walked back to the hallways. “thanks.” once again, you shortly replied. before jey could say anything, you walked to the bathroom, avoiding further interactions. you really didn't have the energy to talk to him. you loved him but he didn’t feel the same and you were still in denial about it. so you chose to push him away–despite wanting to hold his hands like usual, you couldn’t.
“anyone know what’s wrong with (y/n)?” jey entered the bloodline's locker room, earning glances from his faction. “what do you mean?” roman asked, furrowing his brows in confusion. “i don’t know, she’s ignoring me and my texts.” jey sat down on the bench, feeling all confused. “she asked me what tie i was wearing so we could have matching sets.” paul joined the conversation. she even replied to paul, jey thought. you hated replying to the old man’s messages because it would end with a long paragraph about taking care of your own health. something was definitely wrong.
practice day came and jey was in front of your house, waiting for you to come out. you didn’t pick up his call and replied to his messages, but he was still going to pick you up like usual. his train of thought was cut off by his phone ringing. “dude, where are you? everyone’s here and we’re waiting for you!” sami’s voice was loud and clear. “i’m waiting for (y/n), in front of her house right now.” “what do you mean you’re waiting for (y/n)? she came here with roman like an hour ago. they’re warming up.”
“okay, i’m here now!” jey saw the entire faction, sami, and kevin waiting for him. “shit, (y/n). i didn’t know you went with roman, could’ve replied to my texts or calls.” jey complained. he was expecting a snarky or sarcastic reply, or even a flirtatious respond, but you only nodded at his sentence. “sorry.” you muttered. “you wanna go now?” sami asked you. “sure!” your tone switched when you replied to sami.
you got into the ring with sami, practicing the choreography. jey watched you from the side, puzzled with your cold behavior at him. you were all smiles when sami accidentally tripped over your foot. “come on, get up!” you chuckled. “sorry, sorry! it was my fault.” sami replied, pulling you up from your current position. “come on, (y/n)! you can do this.” you looked at jey and didn’t respond, only focusing on hitting a punch on sami’s shoulders. “wanna tag me in?” jey jumped inside the ring. “just wait a bit, i was having fun with sami.” you stared at him with a deadpanned expression.
“did i do something wrong?” jey finally asked the question. “no?” you raised a brow. “then why are you acting cold to me, (y/n)?” you shrugged your shoulders. “nothing is wrong, jey.” you never said his name after you gained feelings for him, it was always cute pet names like ‘baby’ or even ‘hubby’. but hearing you say his name, his chest tightened a bit. “just tag in,” you paused for a second, slapping his hand in a quick motion. “i’ll be with kevin in the ring next room if you need anything.”
"good practice guys!" you smiled at them, not paying attention to jey, who was still in the ring. "alright, let's go, you haven't packed right?" roman spoke up. "yeah, thanks for reminding me. let's go home!" you nodded. "you're not riding back with me?" jey spoke up. "no, i came here with roman." "you know his house is like a 30 minute drive from ours right?" he raised a brow. "and? he offered to drive me home, jey. do i see him complaining?" you stared at him. everyone felt the tension surrounding the two of you. "okay, okay. calm down." solo patted your back, completely diffusing the situation.
roman definitely knew what was going on. "so, you broke up with him or what?" he asked. "no... we weren't even dating, uce." you sighed. "but why the hell are you acting all cold to him?" you went over the story of how he thought you were just joking around. "damn, that man really needs a reality check." roman said after you finished your ranting. "maybe he just doesn't like me and i'm trying too hard or i am just being dramatic." you sighed. "nah, (y/n). we all know you love him, just don't be too hard on yourself."
jey ended up riding with jimmy. "you look pissed as hell, what's up?" jimmy asked, munching on his food. the two brothers were in a random parking lot, eating their feelings out. "(y/n) has been very cold to me. i don't know what i did." he sighed. "what do you mean by that?" jimmy furrowed his brows. "she never replied to my texts, she doesn't flirt around with me, avoided every interaction, she's not touchy, and overall... it feels weird without her." jimmy smacked the back of his younger twin's neck.
"are you fucking serious?" jimmy groaned. "what?" jey gritted his teeth. "bro, do i really need to be the one saying this to you?" "just say it." jimmy sighed. "she's in love with you, bro. do you think it's all an act? she's been in love with you since day 1. i know it's all for the gimmick, acting out as boyfriend and girlfriend," he paused for a second. "but she's head over heels for you. what the fuck did you say to her to make her act distant?"
then it hit him. "i laughed it off. i told her that she could drop the act since the cameras weren't rolling..." "i swear if you weren't my brother, i'd beat your ass right now." jimmy rolled his eyes. "now, do you love her back?" that question made jey drop his phone on his lap. do i love her? he thought. jey had never felt so comfortable with anyone but you. jey loved seeing your cheery attitude, he loved the way you could light up the room with your laugh, he loved the way you were always there for him, and he just realized that he loved you.
"shit."
jey breathed out the cold air of december. he was in front of your house, carrying a bouquet. it took him only 5 minutes to walk to your house as you were neighbors now. he knocked on your door, waiting for you to open it. his heart was beating faster than usual as he tapped his foot in nervousness. "wait a bit!" jey heard your footsteps. you opened the door, seeing him with a smile on his face. "yes, how may i help- jey?" "i'm sorry."
"what are you doing here?" you furrowed your brows. "just... hear me out," he paused for a second. you crossed your arms, listening to him. "i'm sorry." he repeated. "for what?" you barked at him. "i'm sorry for not taking you seriously, i should've realized that you were in love with me and i was blinded by the fact that i thought it was an act..." your cold persona dropped after hearing his sentence. "i'm sorry that i brushed it off." you sighed.
"thank you for apologizing. i know that you don't see me the same way, i'll just stop the way i act-" before you could finish your sentence, he dropped the flowers and pulled you closer. jey kissed you and you were over the moon. "i love you, please don't ever ignore me... i'm sorry, baby." he apologized once again. "you love me?" you looked up at him. "i do." his sentence made you smile. "sorry for ignoring you, i thought that would make it easier for me to stop loving you." you admitted. "please don't ever ignore me again, i could literally die without you." he kissed your forehead. "i'll bother you until the sun burns out."
a/n: OMGGGGGGGGGG I LOVED WRITING THIS i hope y'all enjoyed it because i did... i love writing jey so much tbh like i just love him omg!!!! <3 feedbacks are highly appreciated like usual <3

but i'll know, i'll know
this is all fanfiction, all fake!!! no hate towards charlotte or alexandra (if that's her name idk). this is purely for fun and please don't be rude to me or insult me. thank you. <333 also, i checked grammar so i think it's fine? word count: 873 (i can't write more ig)
summary: because of your friendship with charles, his significant other wants you out of his life. (angst)
charles leclerc x female!reader
Tumblr media
another bad race for ferrari. charles crushed into a wall and carlos got a penalty. you watch the race on your phone, hopping to see charles while he is exiting the car. it hurts not being there for him in times like this but you know he is in a good hands.
maybe you are blaming on your little 'something different' that you feel towards him, but you feel your eyes filling with tears. ever since his new relationship, you had mixed feelings on both of them. he started calling less, and every time you see each other, his girlfriend made sure that the meeting lasts only couple of minutes.
you are still in touch with arthur, your other friend you made while watching your brother go karting with charles. you were all pretty close until you weren't. that's how it is supposed to be.
charles new girlfriend saw you as a threat, and you understand her. insecure with you along side him (even if you only see each other on races or on a reunions), or media attention and their stupid tabloids.
since age 10, this is all you knew. it hurts you that you can't be part of this.
you had a slight crush on charles when you first met, but that feeling got lost somewhere until he broke up with the previous girlfriend.
he was a mess, and you were his comfort. not only you, but there was pierre, lando, arthur, carlos, isa, kika.... everybody was there for him.
he accidentally kissed you, and he apologized 330430 times for that. but that woke up something in you. since then you were always confused around him, trying  not to blush or to be awkward enough for him to notice.
he did. he did notice. and when his girl said that he should stay away from you, he realized that it was probably for the best. he was also confused, but he had her by his side. he needs to be with her and devote his mind and soul to his girlfriend, not to wonder and question the situation with you. this was an easy way out.
you got up and started to look for something to eat. it was a mess of a day and you need to refresh yourself with something. distracting yourself.
while making food, you realize that the sun is not out anymore and that it is 8 p.m. you got your laptop and started to look up for netflix. just when you were trying to find where you left on 'friends' your phone started ringing.
without looking at it, you just picked it up.
'hallo?'
'y/n?'- a famous voice just started breathing into the phone
'charles? is everything alright?' - mutter while praying to God above that everything is fine
'yeah.... i just wanted to hear you for a bit...' - he sounded tired
'sure.. um, what now?' - confused as always, you said the first thing that came to your mind
'did you watched the race? it was pretty shit to be honest. im still shaking a little bit.'
'yes i watched it. sure it was a rough day for you'- you said while looking at the netflix which is infornt of you. you can't even calm yourself down.
'where is....she? is she with you? is there arthur or someone who can be with you?'
'no.... no really. im in bathroom. i had to escape somehow. arthur is waiting for me to get out. she was not even here. we had a fight last week.' - he sounded defeated. with his sigh, the silence got her way.
'im sorry to hear it charles. have you been drinking?' - you were worried about him, you think it never stopped.
'a little bit, yes. but im fine.'
'why are you calling me charles?' - you added
'i don't know why everytime im tipsy or drunk, i think of you. im sorry i couldn't defend you. i still think of our childhood, im sorry for throwing it away... i got scared, i got confused.. it was easier to run....'
charles cried, choking on his tears. your eyes watered as well, and you had to take a deep breath to hold back from crying out loud.
'you know... sometimes...no,no... almost always i have memories overwhelming me. it hurts so bad because you where always in every segment of my childhood, part of it. you were asking too much of me. i can't forget you...' - you cried out, while you wipe your tears.
'im sorry y/n. im so sorry. i don't know what i feel towards you. it not just friendship. i think we could be more. but we can't... and you know it. maybe this is just a process of healing... of forgetting.' - he tired to be collected. he really did. he needed to find a reason.
'well... it was nice to hear you charles. take care of yourself. don't be harsh to yourself..' - with that, you ended the call.
closing your laptop, you finally let emotions to control you. you finally let out frustrations and your tears. your memories with him no one can change or make disappear. you'll always know and remember him, but you'll never know what you two could be.
well, this was painful for me to read, im so sorry. i wish i was better. :( please, remember that english is not my first language and that i've created this account to fix my mistakes and my grammar. please do not insult me and make fun of me. love you <3

Part Two | Part Three
Tumblr media
William sighed as the 6th interviewed left his office, it was frustrating, no one seemed good enough to be his assistant, things were getting hard for him as a career counselor to deal alone, and (as much he didn't liked to say it out loud) he needed someone to help him.
William looked at the door impatiently waiting for the next person.
"Why they're taking so long?" As he says that he hears a soft knock and the door opens revealing a small girl, she seems to be at least 20 years old, she looks nervous. William glares at her. "Well, are you going to sit or not?" He says motioning to the chair in front of his desk, the girl closes the door and sits in the chair while handing her curriculum to him.
"So, Miss (Y/L/N)?" He says while reading her curriculum "You don't seem to have much experience, no...actually, you don't have any experience at all, although your educational background is really...interesting" William looks at the girl's curriculum attentively, her skills and hobbies were pretty good and she knew a few languages, but still, she apparently never worked before.
"Tell me Miss (Y/L/N)" William puts the curriculum down and looks at the girl with a blank stare while putting his hand under his chin. "Have you ever worked before?" The girl shakes her head "Be honest with me, Why should I hire you? The woman before you had a lot of work experience and good educational background too. Why should I hire you and not her?" He says, patiently waiting for a answer.
"Um... well, As this is my first job it would give me experience for future jobs and... expand my curriculum...? But, I wouldn't mind if you hired the other lady though, she seemed quite nice, and her dress was so pretty!" The small girl says staring dreamily at the door.
William frowns and looks at the door confused, then he looks back at the girl "Umm, Quite... stranger answer, so, you wouldn't mind me hiring the previous woman because she seems nice and has a pretty dress, I'm sorry Miss (Y/L/N), but it sounds kinda" Stupid, ridiculous, weird, pathetic " peculiar..." He says with a smug grin, he leans on the table, now being almost face to face with the girl.
"Don't you have another answer for me? Better be wise, it's your last chance" He says coldly.
"Well, I like helping people, and if I get this job I'll get to help other people to find jobs and eventually be happy, I know it can maybe sound a bit childish" It does. "But this is truly what I think, and I'll do my best as your assistant Mr. Raglan!" The girl says calmly and at the same time with a enthusiastic aura.
William sighs looking down at his table What have I done to deserve this? He was to tired for more interviews, and besides, the girl in front of him didn't seemed a bad choice.
He looks up at the girl and stands up from his chair "Congratulations, You're hired, better not disappoint me Miss (Y/L/N)." He says looking down at the girl and offering his hand for her to shake, she quickly stands up from the chair and grasps his hands happily, she has a big smile on her face.
"Thank you so much Mr. Raglan, I won't disappoint you, I promise!" Oh god, I think I just sold my soul to the devil.

hi! I was wondering if you could do an angst/smut with mop Era james? Like reader and james are friends and she gets upset with him being with groupies and she finally tells him how she feels one night during an argument and then it leads to them having rough sex?
First of all, I love the non-anonymous confidence
And when I tell you I screamed when I read this, how do you come up with something this good…
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
I was in a particularly bad mood today.
James was off being an asshole rockstar, yet I still came to his shows, showed him all the support in the world. It was getting on my nerves.
Why did I do it? Maybe because I was stubborn, told myself it would be fine. Or maybe it was the feeling I got deep in my stomach whenever he looked at me. It was all stupid, I mean, my best friend? Really?
And that's what happened when I arrived in his dressing room tonight. I walked in, and there he was, kissing some sleazy chick on the cheek and shooing her away and out the same door I had just walked through. I hated groupies.
James watched me with a dumb smile for a second, but mine was stone cold serious. "You're pathetic, James," I shook my head as I stared back.
He shrugged and kept smiling like he wasn't the one who had been kissing some random girl.
"What do you want me to do about it huh? I ain't gonna turn down sex," he grinned. How did he not fully understand that these ladies were crazy?
"This is what I mean, James," I rolled my eyes, crossing my arms.
"They are groupies, they don't care, their only mission is to get into your pants." He shook his head like this was some sort of game. "Whatever, I'm tired of you sleeping around," I snapped, a bit louder than before.
"Oh please, get the fuck over it. I don't see why it's your problem anyways." James' tone had switched to sharp and lethal, now stabbing back at me.
He stood up, looking more frustrated now. "It's my problem because you make it my problem! All I ever hear about is these sluts!" I retorted.
I knew it sounded ridiculous. It was him I didn't want in the hands of another woman, but the more he went around doing that, the more jealousy started to bubble up inside me. I hated it.
"Well, grow the fuck up, then," he snarled, throwing his hands in the air. "God, do you know how many women try to come after me?" He stopped pacing and turned to me. "And you expect me to just say no?"
His voice cracked and I could tell he was angry.
Angry at me. "All you ever do is fuck around with these whores! It's gross." I shot him a disgusted look.
"Why the fuck are you so pissed about this?" James shook his head, he had daggers for eyes and they were carving into my skull.
"That sex doesn't mean shit to me, it's meaningless. So I don't get why you have your panties in a knot," he added.
Without thinking about my words, they had already been thrown back at him. "Because I like you, James!" I shouted. And I did. "And all you do it fuck these groupies and toss me to the side!"
The veins on his neck popped out, and his jaw clenched. James was turning red. This was a mistake. "You what?" He asked, now taken aback.
I didn't respond, I was too embarrassed of what I had admitted. I'd sworn to never tell him.
"And you're jealous of the groupies?" He smirked down at me. Well shit, I hadn't made things much better.
My lack of an answer prompted his next movements. James reached past me, swiftly shutting the door and locking it.
"Ja-" before I could finish, he motioned to the opposite side of the room. "On the couch. Now." He demanded.
I was shocked, and slightly turned on by the tone of his voice. "What'd I tell you?" He said darkly.
I complied, stepping over to the couch. I looked back at him, waiting for his response. I had followed close behind, watching me like a hawk.
"Don't act stupid. Turn around," he smirked.
That word alone should have put me on edge, but it did the exact opposite. For whatever reason, it did something to me. I slowly turned around, planting my hands against the back of the couch.
"Jealous of the groupies huh? You think I give them good sex? No. I'll show you what I don't give 'em." His dominant words made the warmth between my legs flutter.
"Keep your hands there." He ordered. As if I would have moved them anyway. His heavy footsteps approached. My heart skipped a beat.
I knew he was going to touch me. I wanted him to.
The way he was standing there, his chest heaving, told me how wound up he was. A shudder ran through me. Before I knew it, his hand cupped my ass and he squeezed.
God, his large hand was so perfect. It felt amazing.
I let out a small moan. "So sensitive, huh?" He teased. "You think I didn't want to do this? Of course you've gotta tease me with these tight fuckin jeans all the time.."
He chuckled lowly, both his hands grazing down my waist. "You know I pretend to fuck you whenever I'm with a groupie?" He ran a hand down my back.
I shivered at his touch. "You think I haven't wanted to make you mine since I met you?" His words were only arousing me more.
James reached around my hips, unbuttoning my jeans.
He hastily pulled them down, exposing my white laced panties.
I wiggled when he got them off, kicking my feet free from them. "Fuck, you're sexy," James growled.
He wasted no time, pulling my shirt up my torso. I let him have his way. I couldn't help it. If he wanted to undress me, I wouldn't fight it. I needed this.
Hell, I needed everything from him.
He stood back up, taking in every inch of me. The look in his eyes... he wanted to devour me. He wasn't done yet either. Next came my bra. He easily peeled it off, letting it drop to the floor, along with my jeans.
I was completely bare, except for my sneakers and socks, which I was already kicking off. I Looked back at him as he took in the sight of my body. He had this look on his face. Like he was starving.
Before I knew it, his hand came down on my ass, leaving a red sting. "All for me," James snarled.
"James.." I let out a breathy moan.
I felt so exposed, James was still completely dressed.
I Loved that he was in control. At least for now.
When I heard the sound of the zipper, my breath caught. "I'll make you regret ever yelling at me. I bet you'd like that huh? Good you're such a dirty girl..." he scoffed.
But his words sent shivers down my spine. Just the thought of James doing all these things to me was enough to send me spiraling.
"Put that mouth to use, say something. Maybe then I'll think about giving you what you want," he panted. Just as he spoke I could feel him slap his cock over my ass. My legs were already a trembling mess.
"You want it, don't you? Admit it," he bit out. "Yes. Yes please," I blurted. "That's it, say it again." He demanded. "Please, I want it."
"Louder, who do you want?" he growled. "I want you!"
James laughed softly. "I bet you say that shit when you touch yourself yeah?" He teased my opening with his tip, running it through my soaking folds, making me flinch.
"You think I talk to those other sluts like this?" He pushed just the tip into me, forcing a throaty moan out of me. "No... because you're mine, my slut."
He growled. He pushed into me again, this time going deeper. I couldn't contain my cry anymore. I threw my head back, letting my emotions run wild.
I needed this. Needed him. I needed James to fill me.
"Deeper James.." I begged him softly, my face smushed into the back of the couch.
"Like this?" he murmured, as he started to thrust. "Yes! Please." I cried.
"God, you're tight," he groaned, bottoming out.
I whimpered. This was so much better than my fingers. So much better than anything. I never would have imagined I would enjoy being taken like this. "Holy fuck, you feel good," he moaned.
His fingers found my clit, and he began rubbing in small circles. "Oh, God yes!" He pounded mercilessly. It hurt, but it was a good kind of pain.
His Rough and calloused hands squeezed hard on the flesh of my ass. "That's it baby.."
he cooed. His voice alone sent shivers down my spine. "Come on, I can feel you getting wetter," he rasped.
"Let me hear those pretty noises. How about that, hmm?" he taunted me. "Scream for me. Make everyone in this building know you're mine."
I could hardly form a thought, all I could focus on was the feeling of his veiny length stretching me to my limit. "James!" I screamed. It almost sounded pornographic.
In that moment, I became someone else. Someone reckless, daring, and desperate for more. The only thing that mattered was how he made me feel. It was that simple.
"Fuck, you're so wet," he grunted. "Yeah, scream for me. Let go of all those pent-up feelings. Come on, show me what a good little slut you are." I let out a low guttural moan.
"Harder James... I'm gonna cum!" I pleaded, my mind fraying.
"That's it, cum for me, let go." He groaned. "Cum for me." I was at his mercy, he had me at his will.
"James!" I screamed, my entire body tensing.
I came undone at the seams. My walls pulsated around him, milking his shaft. "Fuck!" he yelled.
"Yes!" He shouted as he buried himself deep inside of me. I collapsed at the feeling, but James caught me, holding me to his bare chest as he finished.
I could feel him painting my insides, claiming every inch of me as his own. "James.." I whispered, laying my head back on his shoulder. I buried my hand in his long blonde hair, a few strands sticking to the sweat on his face.
We sat there breathing heavily, I could feel his seed drip out of me as he pulled out. "You know I love you right?" James smiled awkwardly at me.
"I do now," I said in a breathy tone. "And I love you too." A Dark pink crept to his cheeks as he looked at me.
"You promise not to sleep with groupies anymore?" I chuckled softly.
"Why would I fuck a groupie when I have you baby?"

r got injured on the last case so has to stay behind with garcia on a case, which leads to lots of texting and face times with jj. maybe jj finds it hard to sleep away from r for once, so r stays on facetime until jj falls asleep
Stay On the Call Please
Tumblr media
pairing: jennifer jareau x fem reader
category: fluff
warnings: none
word count: 727
summary: you have to stay behind with garcia while the team goes on a case and your girlfriend misses you
I squinted as I tried to read Garcia's computer screen. How does she know which information to read? We were currently on call with JJ, telling her potential suspects for the current case. She was already at the hotel room, it was pretty late so I don't know why she was calling us but we were willing to help. "Hey Pen...can I talk to y/n?" JJ's voice was a bit quiet and I could tell that something was wrong.
"Yeah." Garcia dismissed us and I left to go sit at my desk, still on call with JJ.
"What's wrong babe?" I asked, clicking the FaceTime button, wanting to see her beautiful face again after 3 days.
"I miss you." She told me quietly. When she accepted the FaceTime I saw that she was laying in the hotel bed and she looked super tired. She had dark bags under her eyes and she looked defeated.
"I miss you too honey." I frowned when I saw the state she was in. "What's going on? Anything I can do to help?" She shrugged. "Jayje...come on. You can talk to me. Please talk to me baby, it looks like you haven't slept in days."
"Because I haven't. I can't sleep away from you." She partially hid her face in her pillow after her confession. "I miss you so much." My heart melted and I was overwhelmed with the urge to book a flight to Augusta just to see her again. "I'm sorry for the constant texts." She added. "I just really miss you."
"Don't apologize hon, ok? I get so happy when I get your texts, it means that you're alive and well and it's a chance to talk to you." I assured her. "You can text me anytime you want, ok? I'll always answer." I wanted to give her a kiss on the forehead so badly but it wasn't possible. "I love you so much."
"I love you too." She let out a loud sigh that I could hear through the phone. "I really wish you were here. Fuck that unsub for shooting you." I let out a soft chuckle.
"I know. I wish I was there too."
"I mean, there's no one to cuddle when I'm trying to sleep! It's terrible!" She exclaimed. "I can't sleep without you." She said again. "I really can't." I frowned.
"I'm really sorry baby. But you've gotta try, right? Just close your eyes and try to fall asleep, ok?" I tried to keep my voice soft, hoping it would coax her to sleep. "I should probably go-"
"Stay on the call...please?"
"Of course. I'm probably going to end up sleeping in your old office anyways. It's hard to sleep in our bed when you're not here." I tried to comfort her a bit by telling her I was having the same issues as her.
"Good. There's a blanket in there and it's really comfy. I took naps in there a lot." I smiled warmly and made my way up to her old office, plopping myself down on the couch and pulling the blanket up over me.
"It is really comfy." I agreed. She smiled and giggled a bit as I wiggled around to try to find a good position. I ended up hugging a pillow since it was the closest thing to hugging her.
"Thanks for staying on the call."
"Of course. I'm sorry I can't be there with you. You have no idea how much I miss you." I told her with a small pout. "Don't forget to take breaks, ok? I swear to God JJ if you go after that unsub when you haven't slept in 3 days if he doesn't kill you I will." She laughed and nodded.
"Ok. I wont go after the unsub like this." She smiled warmly. "I'm gonna try and get some rest." I nodded, prepared to hang up. "No no. Stay on the call. I think you being on the call will help me sleep." I nodded, willing to help her in anyway I could.
"I love you JJ. Don't hesitate to text me or call me if you need anything, ok?" I hooked my phone up to a charger so it wouldn't die.
"Ok...I promise. I love you too." I lied there and watched as she fell asleep over the phone with a smile on my face.

"Good mornin' boss!" Ted says, happy as ever on his usual morning stroll into Rebecca's office. "I got you your favorite!"
"Good morning Ted, thank you!" Rebecca says as she eagerly grabs the little pink box from his hands.
"I also got a little extra today for that beautiful wife of yours!" Ted places a second pink box onto Rebecca's desk.
"Oh Ted, how kind! She is going to love them!"
"Don't mention it boss. Although I gotta say, I know we were all at the wedding and all, but I'm beginning to think the whole thing was just a ruse and that she don't actually exist." Rebecca gives Ted a look and he chuckles. "You two have been married for how long? And I've only met her twice, including yall's nuptials."
"Well Ted, we've been very busy, and now that the baby's due date is coming up things have been even busier."
"Ya'll should come to the game this weekend! I know the baby is due soon but it'll give you both the chance to hang out and have some fun before the real fun starts!"
"Ted, I don't know-"
"I ain't takin' no for an answer unless she calls me and tells me no herself!"
"Alright Ted, I will speak to her about it tonight."
"Alrighty then! Catch ya on the flipside, boss!"
As you're laying on the couch, flipping through channels, you're beginning to realize that there's nothing good on tv anymore. No more good shows to just throw on when you're bored. Luckily, right before you feel like you're about to die from boredom the front door opens.
Rebecca walks into the house and closes the door, immediately kicking off her shoes and hanging her coat on the coatrack. Looking up, she sees you slowly sitting up on the couch.
"Hello there my love." She says with a warm smile.
"Hi baby, how was your day?"
You go to stand up and it takes you a few tries before you can even begin to pull yourself up off of the couch.
"Be careful! Here, let me help you." Rebecca says, rushing to your side.
"I'm okay baby, don't worry."
Rebecca helps you stand and cups your face in her hands.
"I know my love, but I can't help but worry."
Even without shoes on, Rebecca towers over you, so you get up on your tip toes and softly kiss her.
"You're adorable."
"Never more adorable than you."
A slight blush creeps across your cheeks and you wrap your arms around her and hug her tight. Damn hormones.
"How was your day?"
"The usual, busy as always. Oh! Before I forget-" Rebecca walks away from your grasp and you pout. She grabs her purse and walks back over to you after pulling out a little pink box. "Ted made an extra box of biscuits just for you."
"Aw! He shouldn't have-" you open the box and the sweet scent of biscuits fills your nose. "Oh my god." You moan and your eyes roll back a little. "These smell amazing."
Rebecca looks at you with a smirk on her face.
"What?"
"I've never seen anyone or anything other than me make you make that face before." She says with a wink.
"Rebecca Welton!"
Rebecca laughs and pulls you in for a kiss.
"I love you."
"I love you too."
"Oh, and Ted was on my case once again about meeting you and invited you to the match this weekend, but I told him it probably wasn't going to happen."
"Why not?"
Rebecca looks a little surprised.
"Well I know how tired you've been and the baby is due soon and I don't want to overwhelm you."
"You're adorable, but I would love to go see a match. It would be nice to get out of the house for a little while anyway."
"Are you sure? You don't think it'll be too much?"
"Baby I'll be fine, I promise. Let's go and have some fun."
Rebecca gazes into your eyes and you feel like you've fallen in love all over again. Her emerald green eyes pull you in so deeply you forgot where you were for a moment. You're brought back to earth when she leans down and gently kisses you.
The rest of the week flies by and before you know it, it's game day. It's also two weeks before your due date, something that both you and Rebecca are so excited about, but you can tell her anxiety is starting to sky rocket.
"Are you sure you're okay with going? There's some stairs and a little bit of walking, the seats aren't comfortable and we'll be in them for a few hours." She rambles on while pacing back and fourth.
"Baby," you say, trying to pull her out of her spiral, but she doesn't stop. "baby!" Rebecca finally stops and turns towards you. Walking up to her, you cup her face with your hands and look deeply into her eyes. "Everything will be fine, don't worry, okay? We're going to go, have a wonderful time, come home and go right to sleep, okay? I'll be fine, I promise."
Rebecca stares back into your eyes for a few moments before nodding her head. You pull her down and bring her in for a kiss. Her body relaxes into yours when your lips meet and she lets out a peaceful sigh.
"Ready?"
"I'm ready when you are my love."
The two of you get into the car and head to the stadium. You both decided to get there a little early to say hi to everyone since you've only met most of them once or twice before.
Rebecca leads you into the locker room and the room goes silent when she walks in.
"Good afternoon boys, good luck out there today! I want to introduce you all to my wife, y/n."
As if it was rehearsed, all of the boys greet you at the same time.
"Hi everyone, it's great to finally meet you all!"
"Well I'll be darned! You sure do exist!" Ted says as he walks out of his office. "You owe me 20 bucks." He says to Coach Beard who pulls out a £20 and slaps it into Ted's hand.
"Hello Ted, you remember y/n, y/n, you remember Ted."
"How could I ever forget my favorite boss' wife?!" He says as he pulls you in for a hug. "How're ya feelin'? You're due soon, right?"
"I'm feeling really good. I feel gigantic, but good. And yes, the due date is two weeks from today actually!"
"Well how about that! Coach Beard, get over here!" Coach Beard walks over to the three of you and he nods at Rebecca, who nods back. "Coach, you remember y/n, right?"
"Could never forget her. How are you?"
"I've been good!"
"Hey! Roy! Nate! Get your butts over here and welcome our guest of honor!"
Roy and Nate walk over and you all greet each other. You only met Nate one other time, at your wedding. He's sweet but very nervous, but in a cute way almost. Roy you've met a bunch of times, you, Rebecca, Roy and Keeley have gone on your fair share of double dates over the last few years and you've gotten to know him quite well.
Rebecca introduces you to some of the players, some of them comment on how you're glowing. One player, Jan Maas, says something about how large you look and every one of his teammates groans and throws their towels at him. That made you laugh so hard you almost peed yourself.
After mingling for a little while, Rebecca brings you out to the stands to your seats. Keeley and Higgins eventually join you and before you know it, the match it starting.
As the boys play, the crowd goes wild. Both teams are giving it their all and it quickly turns into an intense match. Richmond shoots and the other teams goalie just barely knocks it away. The other team takes the ball across the pitch and shoots. Zoreaux dives, catching it in a perfect save.
Just before half-time Colin has the ball and is running down the pitch, he passes it to Jamie who looks like he's about to kick the ball into the goal but instead kicks it across to Sam who sinks it into the net.
The crowd goes wild, all four of you jump out of your seats in excitement as chanting rings out into the stadium.
Half-time comes and goes and the match starts up once more. Both teams come back with a fire in their hearts and play with even more passion than they had in the first half. Jamie gets possession of the ball and sprints to the other end of the pitch, right before he's about to score a player from the other team slide tackles him and kicks the ball away to his teammate.
A collective "ohhh" echoes through the crowd and you feel a cramp in your abdomen that causes you to bend forward a little.
"Are you okay?" Rebecca says, her eyes instantly filling with worry.
"Yeah, I'm fine baby, I promise."
A few minutes later, another cramp appears and you take a deep breath as you breathe through it. Rebecca looks at you with concern and you give her a reassuring smile. The two of you turn your attention back to the intense game and she grabs your hand, giving it a squeeze. You can tell just by the way she's gripping onto your hand that she's nervous, when you look over at her you can see her thoughts going a million miles a minute.
Just as you're about to comfort her, another, much stronger cramp hits and you double over gasping for air. Before anyone can react you feel a gush between your legs like you just peed yourself.
"Oh shit."
"What? What's wrong? What happened?" Rebecca says in a panic.
Looking over at Rebecca you see worry and fear painted across her face. It breaks your heart a little seeing her so scared.
"I'm okay, but don't panic, alright?" Rebecca stares at you silently and you grab her hand. "I'm fine, however, I'm pretty sure my water just broke."
"WHAT?!"
"NO FUCKIN WAY!" Keeley yells.
"Rebecca! Baby, calm down, it's okay!"
"I knew we shouldn't have come here, god damnit."
"Hey, hey, listen to me." You say, cupping her face. "Look at me, it's okay. Everything is okay. The match isn't why this is happening-"
"But you're not due for another two weeks!"
"It's okay, remember what the doctor said? I can go into labor as early as 38 weeks and that's totally normal. Okay?"
Rebecca nods her head with her eyes still filled with worry. Another cramp, which you're pretty sure is a contraction at this point, hits.
"Shit!" You say, grabbing Rebecca's hand. Breathing through it, Rebecca rubs your back and gives Keeley a worried look. Once it passes you look back up at Rebecca. "Everything is fine, however, we should definitely go to the hospital now."
"Yes, you guys go, we'll take care of everything else here, right Higgins?" Keeley says.
"Yes! Of course!"
"Right, yes, okay. Come on, let me grab your things, uh- my jacket, shit, my purse-" Frantically, Rebecca grabs both of your things and helps you stand up. She leads you out of the stadium and into the car and the driver takes you to the hospital.
The labor was long and painful but once they placed the epidural the pain was much easier to deal with. After the doctor came in to examine you again she said it was time to push.
With your legs in the stirrups and Rebecca's hand in yours, you begin to push. Every time you felt that now familiar pressure you pushed, you felt like you were going at it for hours, even though it had only been thirty minutes.
Exhaustion begins to take over and you feel yourself losing steam. You lay back for a minute to take a breath and Rebecca looks into your eyes.
"You're so close my love, she's almost here. Just a little more. I'm so proud of you, you're doing such an amazing job." She gently brushes a strand of hair out of your face and smiles at you. After a minute you feel the pressure again and push harder than you have before.
Just when you think you can't keep going, the most beautiful cry rings out into the delivery room. As you lay back the doctor places the baby in your lap and they dry her off. Carefully, you bring your hand to her head and caress her with your thumb. Rebecca's grip on your arm tightens and you look over at her to find that she has tears streaming down her face.
The nurse whisks the baby away and you reach up and wipe Rebecca's tears away.
"She's perfect." She whispers.
"She is." You say with a smile.
After a few minutes the nurse comes back with the baby and hands her to Rebecca. Moving over to Rebecca can sit next to you, she claims the spot and looks down at your daughter with wonder in her eyes.
The next few days were a whirlwind, learning how to breastfeed and to get the baby to latch, recovering from giving birth, just adjusting to the new life the two of you stepped into. It's been chaos but also beautiful.
As you're laying in bed with the baby in your arms, Rebecca is sitting on the recliner reading her book. Everything is peaceful and for the first time since giving birth, you're both actually relaxed. A knock on the door takes your attention away.
"Knock knock!" You hear, accompanied by a distinctive southern accent.
"Ted! What are you doing here?" Rebecca says, getting up from her spot.
"Well I heard we got a new member to our Richmond family and Beard and I couldn't say no to givin' 'em a visit!"
Coach Beard steps into the room along with Keeley, Roy, Higgins and a few other players from the team.
"How did you manage to get so many people in here?"
"Southern charm goes a long way in these parts." Beard says.
The baby gets passed around a little, Beard and Roy both declining the opportunity to hold her. The second the baby is placed into Keeley's arms she sobs and sinks into the chair Rebecca was sitting in. It came as a surprise to no one that the second Keeley got her, no one else got to hold her for the rest of the visit.
The team brought lunch, something you were grateful for because you were sick of hospital food at that point.
Beard comes into the room with extra chairs, where he got them from, you have no idea but no one dares to question it.
Everyone takes a seat and you all eat lunch together. This is the most one-on-one time you've spent with everyone. Even though it's kind of weird that it's happening in the hospital after you give birth, it was nice really getting to know everyone finally.
As everyone was finishing up their lunch, the nurse comes back in and it taken back by how many people were in the room.
"Hello everyone!" She says.
"Howdy, I'm Ted Lasso, great to meet ya!" Ted says, getting up to shake her hand.
"I'm Rose, y/n's nurse, there are a lot of you in here, wow."
"Yeah, well, ya know, southern charm still goes a long way overseas."
"I can see that! Unfortunately, the lactation nurse will be here in a few minutes so I'm going to have to ask everyone to leave."
"Oh sure, not a problem at all, right team?" Everyone nods. "Well, we'll get outta your hair."
Everyone starts to say their goodbyes and Keeley tries to walk out with the baby before Roy stops her. Reluctantly, she turns around and hands you your daughter.
"Auntie Keeley loves you so much." She says with tears in her eyes and gives her a kiss on her head. "You guys made the cutest fucking baby I've ever seen."
"Congratulations boss, y/n, she sure is a beauty." Ted says.
"Thank you, Ted." Rebecca says and gives him a hug.
"Thanks Ted, she's perfect." You say, looking down at the infant in your arms.
"I'll catch ya'll later!"
After another day in the hospital, you're finally discharged and able to go home.
Rebecca carries the car seat inside and the two of you take the baby up to the nursery.
After you take the baby out of her car seat, you sit on the rocking chair and feed her before laying her in her crib. After the baby is fed, Rebecca takes her and lays her in the crib. She fusses for a minute and Rebecca starts to softly sing.
You wrap your arms around Rebecca while she sings to the baby and you rest your head on her chest. With on hand gently caressing the baby's cheeks, Rebecca wraps her other arm around you and pulls you tightly into her. As she sings, the baby calms down and within a few minutes she's asleep.
Standing there with your wife, watching over your new daughter as she sleeps, you're the happiest you've ever been.
Rebecca brings her hand to your chin and tilts your face up towards her.
"I love you."
"I love you too, Rebecca."
She leans down and places a soft but firm kiss on your lips. Nothing could ever take away the love and joy that's filling your heart right now.

After Krishna left for Dwarka, Radha used to keep herself a lot busier than usual; doing her chores back in Vrindavan, talking to the trees finding Krishna in everything, taking care of the people and animals. At night she would go to her room and sit in front of the mirror, sigh and take out her shringaar. Tonight, as soon as she looked into her reflection, it was her Kanha smiling at her.
"How's Dwarka dheesh doing?" she carefully kept her tone as teasing, afraid that if he suspects even a little bit of sadness then he will come running to her right away, leaving everything behind
"Oh please, Radhe. You should come sometime, you used to before but you barely do now."
Radha cupped Kanha's cheek in the mirror
"My sweet mohana, you know I can't. It's my duty to give you and your ashtabharya all the space and love," laughing, she added a little wistfully "As it is I don't really have a good reputation out here. Krishna's lover. But why? Krishna has millions of lovers. The whole brahmaand is his lover. Why worship one exclusively with him? If he loves all his lovers equally then why just worship this Radha with him? She isn't even his wife. Unlike Mahadev and Parvati, they aren't even legitima-"
"Radhe." Krishna stopped her with tears in his eyes
Radha, hurting as much as him, apologized and continued "but it is true, my love. People only view love as black or white. They think marriage is sanctity when it is the bond that is. Not the label."
Nodding, Krishna whispered "do you miss me?"
She laughed till there were tears in her eyes too "Oh Kanha, you are everywhere I look. Every time I breathe."
"Then why talk to me like this? Why summon me here?"
"Because you are everywhere. Everywhere but right here."
Kanha's eyes softened "I am within you, sakhi. Always."
Nodding and smiling, she looked away to wipe her tears "yes yes, I know that." she looked back in Kanha's eyes "only if I could somehow tell that to Yashoda maiya, Nand baba and all the gopiyan and people here. Maiya is inconsolable, kanha. She cries and says 'that boy always tricks me. I saw the universe in his mouth when he was a child. Now wherever I look, I see him. But I just want him to come steal my makhan. Kanha, where are you? I promise I'll never scold you.'
Krishna touches the mirror ever so gently
"Kanha, they think you are not real when you are everywhere. They think it's an illusion and all they do is weep."
"But they forgot that Maya is Krishna and Mohana is Krishna. Everything that involves krishna is as real as the morpankh falling from the sky quietly into their palms when they think of Him." Radha and krishna whisper at the same time
"Tomorrow the Pandavas and Kauravas fight and I'm Arjuna's saarthi. After killing Kansa mama, the trajectory of my life has changed completely. But I miss Vrindavan, Kishori. I honestly don't even know what to do. They call me God but forget I'm a human in this avatar too. All I can feel is Gandhari's pain. Even if she hates me with everything she has and cursed me for my existence but I just can't help but feel for her so deeply. What can I do?" he sobs
"What Kauravas did was wrong but Gandhari is a mother, kanha. Her pain can't be measured. It is unbearable but justified. But so is your karma and dharma. Whatever you do will be remembered forever. They all need you. So go, sakha. Do what needs to be done. I believe in you. I love you. We all do."
Krishna smiled through the tears
Radha whispered "we parted physically to fulfill our dharma in this lifetime but you know? I.. I'm just so tired, Kanha. It's been so long. I just want to go home. To Goloka. Our home. I feel my purpose here is coming to an end..."
"So is mine, Radhe.. so is mine. We are One." Kanha clutched the mirror closer to his chest and Radha did too - both of them in an eternal embrace.
"We will go home very soon. To everyone we love, finally. It's my vachan, sakhi."

Taddy I know you said that Kaida doesn't refer to Jay as "Dad" like. At all.
BUT I can't stop thinking about a scenerio [that I wanted a write a ficlet about but I don't have the time due to uni work :sob:]
Where after Kaida and Jay are with the Ninja but Jay doesn't have his memories fully back yet.
And Kaida gets caught off guard by the enemy or something and is taken by them as bait. [I know, very unlikely]
And she tries to act cool about it but she is terrified on the inside because shes still just a kid and god Jay is not coming for her.
He got his real family back- he doesn't need her around anymore- shes alone again- shes got abondened again- why should he care about her anymore?
Meanwhile Jay is LIVID.
This is a man who does not remember the honor code of the Ninja.
A man who killed a dragon by himself.
A man who possibly killed way more than a dragon.
A father whos child was taken from him as bait and is in danger.
He's ripping through everything in his path that is between him and his daughter, and the rest of the ninja are terrified as they can only watch the lightning without restrain destroy everything in his path.
Kaida doesn't understand whats going on outside,there are explosions and yells and she can't help but flinch away as someone points a gun at her face.
But then there is a loud crack as the room flashes in the brightest light ever.
And when she opens her eyes back up again, all the men are on the ground twitching in pain.
And Jay is there.
He's sparkier than usual.
And covered in more blood than usual.
And kinda blurry on the edges, his eyes and hands and body burning way brighter with lightning than she ever saw.
[As if he's almost lightning itself]
But he's here.
He came for her.
He didn't leave her.
He didn't leave her.
She can't even say anything before he's suddenly next to her checking her for injuries as his hands shake from the adrenaline and fear of almost losing her.
And she chokes up with tears upon seeing him so scared, terrified of what could have been and lets out a choked up "Dad..."
Suddenly he's hugging her and she can't help but bury her face onto his chest like a baby as shes trying to not to cry, not to be weak, shes picked up and he mumbles a soft "I got you kiddo. Let's get you home." And that's when she breaks down.
And Jay refuses to let go of her during all the way back to the monastery, and if the rest of the ninja see both of them cry at some point none of them say anything.
KEN KEN KEN THIS IS SO GOOD!!!!?!? I LOVE THIS!! THANKS FOR THIS!!! HUSJFBAF
I LOVE THIS IDEA SO MUCH (Like, Kaida definitely addresses Jay as "dad" in situations like this) THAT I HAD TO WRITE AND DRAW SOMETHING RIGHT AWAY BECAUSE I LOVE TORTURING THESE TWO. Also writing Angry Badass Jay is entertaining
I hope I did justice to this scenario because I wrote this really really quickly so I hope you like it
Home
Words: 2.9k
TW: blood and violence.
When Kaida first wakes up, she is in a room with cold lights and no windows, with unknown people moving back and forth through thick bars. She feels tired, her eyelids are heavy with a sickly feeling, and her palate tastes like moldy cotton.
She tries to remember the name the ninjas had given this thing. She thinks it's called Vengestone. A stone that can disable elemental powers.
She had never seen anything like it and terror floods her veins with ice when she realizes that what they said turned out to be true. She didn't know that there was something capable of suppressing that energy that has been in her blood for years. Uselessly she pulls on the metal on her ankle, looks for a way to break or open the lock with some of the tricks she knew, even tries to see if there are any loose bricks in the wall, and only manages to draw blood from under her nails, adding to what already covers her clothes.
She tries not to get scared. She tries to calm down and breathe even though they look at her like little more than an animal and she has no way to defend herself. She wishes she had her gun in her hands, even the knife she always kept in her boot, but even that had been taken away from her, and all she had left as a weapon was to uselessly insult them.
She tries not to panic, but finds it difficult to control her breathing when she can't see through the walls to those approaching and she feels blind. Everything looks dark and she feels stupidly weak when people approach her and without her powers to see them; they look like corpses.
"They are anyway" she tries to tell herself to calm down. They are if Jay was looking for her.
If he was looking for her. If he hadn't already decided she was a burden. Because she is, she knew it.
As the hours pass, the voice she tries to ignore in the back of her head reminds her that she is essentially a nuisance that he went to too much trouble to care for. She is essentially a girl for whom he only felt sorry, and now with the way things are, he may finally want to take a burden off his shoulders and stop having to worry about her.
She knows that she is the reason why he decided to continue working in a place as miserable as the Administration, the reason why he could not return home for so long, the main reason why he was separated from his family. If he had had his memories from the beginning, he wouldn't have even stayed there in the first place.
It's a burden, and if he had finally realized that he had his real family waiting for him, maybe he wouldn't even bother looking for her.
"How do you feel?" one of them ask her with a smile in his voice. She was pretty sure she's been there for a day already.
“Fucking great.” she spits, crossing her arms to try to look confident. If being a ninja included being captured by crazy people like these, she didn't understand why the bother.
He seem to ignore her mockery as he analyze her carefully. That guy, who must be some kind of leader if the way he's the only one talking is any indication, approaches. “You are the elemental master of spirit, aren't you?”
She stares back at him dryly without even bothering to respond. They had asked her name before and she hadn't even given them that.
The man waits in silence for a few seconds before continuing. “I know all ninjas have pretty interesting powers, the main reason why they are so annoying to us. As far as I heard, kid, you can steal someone's soul, right?”
She shakes her chained foot while frowning. “Why don't you take this shit off me and figure it out yourself?”
He smiles and then steps back, leaving the cell as if the exchange had bored him. "Not yet. We have to keep you alive until your friends come after all.”
And then he leaves, and she is alone. Again.
She rests her head on the wall behind her, trying futilely to keep track of the idiots hovering back and forth with threats that leave her shaking inside, and her hand clutches the yellow pin to her chest.
---
Jay's head is somewhere else during the eternal passage of days in which they search for clues to Kaida's whereabouts. He doesn't sleep or even eat. His concentration is solely on the battlefield and clinging to any possible clue. He is determined and alert, aware enough to be able to duck when necessary and able to dodge when shot.
But that's all. He feels nothing when he uses his powers over and over again against them without holding back his blows. It is like a storm that continues to build up until it explodes and he doesn't take into account who it lets that brutal rain fall on.
And the rest of the team isn't much help.
When they stop him for the fourth time to tell him they need a plan, his patience breaks.
He already has a plan; find his kid.
Lloyd, who Jay had learned that he was a kind of master on the team, harshly reprimands him at the end of an interrogation of one of the stupid bastards responsible for taking Kaida. Once the line of questioning ends with the man writhing on the ground in a haze of burning flesh, everyone looks at him with growing horror and fear.
He has no regrets, neither for this one nor for the others before him or for what is yet to come. If it were up to him, he would pull out what other pain that bastard has left to feel.
The green ninja, however, is unfazed by the anger crackling in his eyes and matches it with a stern glare. "Jay, I understand you're worried, but taking it out on them won't solve anything. You can't do that."
He breathes shakily, his hands, covered in blood that is not his, clenching and opening at his sides with sparks still cutting and hissing through the air.
"You are not my leader." He spits tiredly between his teeth. "Don't tell me what to do. You don't understand anything. If you really think I'm going to spare their lives for some stupid ninja shit I don't know about-"
"Jay, relax." The black ninja, Cole, steps forward, his voice heavy and wobbly. He approaches with his hands outstretched toward him, and he hates the anguish in his words, he hated that they acted like they knew him when he couldn't even remember anything about them. He hates all of this, and can barely speak with the guilt creeping down his throat. This would not have happened if they had not left the Administration. “We understand, we really do.”
Jay turns around, can't help but wave his arms in the air in exasperation, his voice rising to the edge of a shout as he shakes his head. "No, you don't. I don't need your help. If it were up to you, we would still have no fucking clue where she is. It's like you don't even care- “
A hand on his shoulder stops him, cutting off his speech as he flinches, and only then does he realize how much he's hyperventilating. The anger that makes his hands shake is as intense as the fear in his chest, and without a target to aim for so long, one becomes stronger than the other. When he turns around in his stupor, he finds the water ninja staring at him with one hand still on his shoulder.
Nya looks at him with understanding and sympathy, a deep grimace creasing her face even though her eyes otherwise remain calm. Her hand squeezes his shoulder tightly, almost as if she wants to hug him instead, and he hates how much they seem to really know him. He only has a vague idea of what they are supposed to be to him (his friends, his brothers, his yang) and that's it, they're still just strangers.
His real family, all he has left, is far away.
“We'll find her, Jay. I swear. You are not alone in this.” she emphasized firmly, and somehow, like a memory washed away by the tide, something in his chest calms at her words. The others look at him the same way, that anxious, worried look that loosens his jaw as his frown softens.
His hands were still shaking, and the power on his skin had not stopped crackling for even a second since they had begun their search. He pulls away from the touch on his shoulder somewhat abruptly, knowing it's probably not good to touch any of them while he's like this, and the others stare at him expectantly.
He takes a deep breath, barely closing his eyes for a fragment of a second where all he sees is bright white, and when he opens them to look at them, he can almost let himself believe that these people are his family.
"Alright." he chew the words through air that is too harsh and cold. His tongue is filled with the taste of ash and blood. “We know where these bastards' base is. Take us there.”
They all nod and leave, and Jay doesn't let anything stop him from getting to his daughter. His first and only priority.
---
Kaida loses track of time while there. She stops trying to count the minutes that pass and any hope she has left slowly dissolves.
And maybe it was for the best anyway. She knew she was a bait. A small fish to catch a bigger one. It was better that they didn't come for her. There was no reason for him to risk it when he already had his real family with him.
The men here don't linger with her any longer than necessary. They need her alive after all. One breaks her ankle so she doesn't even try to flee. Another hits her head particularly unpleasantly against the wall when she spits in their faces and things get confusing from there. It reminds her too much of Boarding School, and if she closes her eyes, she can practically feel the rivulet of blood running down the side of her face from her left eyebrow.
They seem proud of themselves when they finally manage to force screams of pain through her teeth, even if she doesn't even cry. Don't you dare cry. Don't you ever cry, she said in her mind over and over again.
And she tells herself that's not even the reason she's so terrified. It's not because she was deprived of her powers, or because of the pain that was pounding in her body, or because of whatever stupid plan these sons of bitches had, but because of the fact that she knows deep down that no one is coming for her. She knows she deserves it and that's what leaves her shaking as she stares straight ahead.
They should never have left the Administration, if they had stayed home instead of getting involved in saving the world and that stuff, none of this would have happened.
She feels selfish for thinking about it, but she can't help it.
She wants to go home, but she knows it's not even safe to go back there anymore. She hates how much those ninjas always had the power to take him from her, and now they finally did it.
And suddenly, the guards patrolling next to her cell hastily leave. All the people she can see through the bars share worried looks, frightened murmurs as they run to the left with weapons in their hands. Her heart races and all she can do is wait. She cannot see a single soul behind the walls when they all disappear.
There is an icy silence, one that builds in her cell the moment everyone leaves her alone, but that finally breaks when she begins to hear distant screams in the distance.
She stands suddenly, leaning against the wall, ignoring the pain clawing at her ankle and the damn chain that only makes it worse, and concentrates on listening.
She hears gunshots, hears high-pitched cries slowed by the walls. She's heard those screams before, the kind that come up just before a person's light disappears. She knows that they are coming from very far away, she knows that they are from the direction in which everyone ran, and from one moment to the next, the silence of her prison becomes a cacophony of screams that increases the tension that shakes in her chest.
There is also a growing ringing that pulses in her ears, which sounds too much like a muffled roar. A snake crawls across the ceiling, and when she looks up, she notices how the lights shine full of energy, turning on and off at the pace at which everyone runs desperately. That hum goes down and up constantly while the lights flicker until they finally break, exploding loudly. Glass and darkness hit the hallway.
Kaida can only watch open-mouthed, her mind barely able to comprehend the meaning of it when one of their leaders enters her cage with a gun in hand and a look full of anger.
“What the fuck is going on?” Kaida asks, pressing herself against the wall, hating the way her jaw trembles as the guy approaches her. “Is this also part of your plan, you idiots?”
The mockery comes out weak and raw at the end when she sees how the man removes the safety of the weapon and places it in his hands without hesitation. A knot of anxiety tightens and unravels in her chest until it reaches her mind, and her face pales.
“Looks like your friends are already here, kid. Now you are as useful alive as dead.” The gun is pointed at her face. If she had her powers, in less than a second, she could steal any excuse for soul that this guy had until he was an empty shell, take because that's what she always did. Only she doesn't have them, and the man's index finger is already on the trigger. “Unfortunately for you, I could use getting rid of an elemental master right now.”
The man points the barrel close to her forehead, far enough away that she can't even try to grab the gun from him.
Kaida steps back, her gaze focused somewhere in front of her, and she prepares for the worst with her teeth clenched together.
She's just not prepared for the way the man's body suddenly shakes violently. The grip on his gun loosens and he lets go. Collapsing heavily to the ground with white ribbons that run through his limbs until they fragilely disappear along with all traces of life in his gaze.
There is an echo of thunder behind it that conquers every struggle between silence and screams, and it is only when she looks up from the body at her feet that she finally sees Jay staring at her surprised on the other side of the cell. His hand still raised firmly forward, red and glowing as if snakes of light ran down his arm.
Her vision is blurry, either from the pain in the back of her head or from the held back tears, but it was definitely him. Through the cloudy haze, she can see how his reddish hair is more bristly than usual and the blood that practically covers him from head to toe.
She looks around, behind Jay, she sees completely still bodies scattered on the ground. She's not particularly fazed by it, she's seen worse, they've done worse. But the fact that he did this for her, that he took the risk to do it, leaves her reeling with a thread of breath.
Before she can register it, Jay quickly crosses the distance between them, dropping to his knees beside her so he's level with her. His trembling hands, whose skin over his knuckles she can see are slit and raw, grab her shoulders and he frantically search for any kind of wounds. She barely registers it, barely hears him speaking in panic at a mile a second.
Instead, she was still processing the fact that he was there. That he had come back for her.
“I've got you, kiddo, it's okay now,” she hears him say. His voice sounds more scared and agitated than she's ever heard.
His hands briefly touch her face and only then does she realize she was crying. She doesn't know how long she's been crying.
“Dad-” nothing but sobs come out.
He holds her close, reality finally hitting her as she buries her face against his chest, inhaling as she cries. Her forehead is pressed against that stupid blue gi, staining blood and tears and who knows what else, but she can hear his heart beating, fast but steady, and he's here and he didn't abandon her.
“We're going home,” he murmurs, as shaky as his breathing, and she doesn't care where that is anymore. All she really cares about is that he's here, and that's enough for her.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Tumblr media
(I always forget where I save these pictures from. Forgive me. 💀)
Today, you were finally going to the OB/GYN to see your boys. Phoenix was due back to work today. She and Phantom were working on improvements for the flying arrangements. Hangman was away on the boat. Mav stayed with Bradley at the hospital. Evelyn had the girls over at her house. You and Austin were on your way to your ultrasound. 
“I’m getting a case of deja vu, darlin.” Austin laughed as he parked Hangman’s truck into a parking stall. He looked over at you and smiled, “You ready for this?” He rubbed your belly. 
You smiled, “Let’s do this.” 
Austin came around to your side and opened your door. He helped you down and into the office. He took your ID and checked you in at the front desk. He came back and plopped down next to you. “I’m really excited to see how much they’ve grown since I first saw them.”
You chuckled, “I can just feel how big they are. My back and tired swollen feet remind me everyday.” You leaned back in the chair and rubbed your belly. 
“If they take after the Lieutenant. They’ll definitely be some big boys.” He chuckled. 
“Lieutenant Commander.” You raised your brows to Austin.
He looked at you shocked. “No way. Bradley promoted!?” He placed his fingers over his open mouth.
You nodded, “Lieutenant Commander Bradshaw.” 
“Wow! Did he tell Maverick?” 
You shook your head, “No he hasn’t. The day after he was promoted he was back on the boat.”
He nodded his head, “Hmm, well I know that Maverick is going to be so proud of him.” He smiled at you and nudged your shoulder. 
The nurse called you and Austin back. Austin helped you onto the bed. You lifted Bradley’s sweater up and over your belly. You caught how big Austin’s eyes got. You chuckled and he looked at you. “I am an advertisement blimp now, Aus.” 
He shook his head, “God, you are right. They have grown so much.” He rested his hand by your head and laid the other on your arm. 
You grabbed Austin’s hand and gave it a squeeze. “Ready to see the boys again?” You gave him an excited smile. He nodded and looked back to the monitor. The doctor squirted some of the jelly onto your belly. They took the transducer and started to rub it around. The boys appeared quickly onto the screen. 
Austin gasped, “Oh my gosh, darlin. They’re huge! Look at them!” He cover his mouth as his eyes went wide. 
“They look like they are on track. I believe your boys will be ready to come out of the oven soon.” The doctor smiled at you. “Did you and Lieutenant Bradshaw pick a date yet?”
“Lieutenant Commander.” Austin winked at you and chucked. 
The doctor laughed, “My apologies Lieutenant Commander Bradshaw. Did you and him pick a date yet to possibly be induced?”
You bit your lip and look up at Austin. You shook your head, “No we haven’t. He’s been in the hospital.”
The doctor looked at you sadly, “I am sorry to hear that Mrs. Bradshaw. Well we still have some time. I want to see you every two weeks as time is getting closer and closer. So you and Lieutenant Commander Bradshaw, can discuss dates.” They went back to scanning your belly. They measured the twins and snapped a couple of pictures. “Are there any questions you have?” The shot you a smile as they started to clean you up. 
“Is there anything I should start doing different? To prepare myself for the boys?”
The doctor laughed, “Get as much sleep as possible. You’re going to miss it.” You and Austin started to laugh, “In all seriousness, just take it easy. I know you can feel that it is getting harder to do things. So don’t push yourself.” They finished cleaning you up and handed you and Austin the pictures. “Enjoy the rest of your day! I send my well wishes to the new LCDR.” They waved goodbye to you and Austin. 
You pulled your shirt back down and Austin held your hands to help you up. You felt like you were out of breath, “Oh my gosh. That doesn’t get easier at all.” You started to laugh as Austin helped you down from the bed.
“Now let’s go see your husband, darlin. I know he will want these new pictures of the boys there with him.” Austin winked at you and helped you to the car. 
-------
The end of the week finally rolled in. Today was the day that the doctors were going to start weaning Bradley off of the sedation medication. You were excited to see his beautiful eyes. You knew it would probably take a day or two before you saw him and heard his voice, but you were more than ready to kiss his lips over and over again. You just prayed he wasn’t in too much pain. 
Mav was at the house getting things set up for Bradley. You sat in the room alone with him. You held his hand and rubbed your thumb over his hand.
“Hi, baby. They started to wean you off the medication. We will see each other soon. I’ll be here. I’m not going anywhere. I promise.” You kissed his hand. His thumb twitched against your hand. “There you go, baby.” You brought your lips to his ear, “Come back to me, my love.” You kissed his temple gently before you sat back down. “We brought you pictures of the boys. I had my appointment last week. They’re so big now. They definitely take after you.” You smiled and placed the back of his hand to your lips. “I can’t wait to have you back, honey. I can’t wait to kiss you over and over again. To hear your voice.” You smiled goofily at him. His eyes were still closed. He was still hooked up to everything to monitor him as he rests. 
“I love you, Bradley, Always.” 
-------
A couple of more days rolled around and you were home. You spent a lot of your time at the hospital with Bradley as he slowly started to come out of his sedative state. But he hadn't opened his eyes or anything yet. You were getting worried because the doctors at most, two days after, he would at least open his eyes.
today, you were packing a bag for Bradley. You packed him some comfortable clothes he could change into. You packed all his toiletries you knew he’d want. Leia came into the room and laid on your back as you packed Bradley’s bag.
“Momma, do I get to come with you today to see daddy?” She nestled her face into your back.
You reached your hand back and scratched her head, “You do baby. You’ll get to see your daddy today.”
Leia hugged you, “Finally! I miss him so much, momma. Do you think he will wake up from his nap today?” Leia started to rub your back. 
You laid your head back onto hers. “I hope so, baby. I miss your daddy too.” 
Leia kissed your back and came around to the front of you. “Can I help you pack daddy’s stuff?” 
You caressed Leia’s cheek. “Of course, you can, baby. How about you go and get something you know your daddy would want and put it in here?” You kissed her cheek. 
She sprang up, “I know exactly what daddy would want!” She ran out of the closet. 
You chuckled and continued to fold clothes and place them into the bag. Leia came running back into the room. Before you looked up to see her she was dropping at least 10 uncrustables into Bradley’s duffle. You stopped placing clothes into his bag. You started to laugh and looked up at Leia. You picked up an uncrustable and held it up to Leia. 
“PB&Js baby?” You raised your brows and began to laugh. 
She nodded, “Yes, momma! I know daddy will be super hungry and what is better than a PB&J!? Our favorite snack!” She smiled and picked one up. “I actually want one of these right now.” She ripped one open. “I’ll be back momma! I’m gonna go put it in the toaster!” She started to skip out of the room. 
“Please make sure you ask your Papa Mav or Austin to help you with the toaster!” You chuckled and took the PB&Js out of the bag. You stacked them next to the duffle as you continued to pack clothes. 
When you finished, you brought all the sandwiches down stairs to put into a lunch bag to take with you. Leia was propped up on the counter sharing her PB&J with Austin. 
“Hey! That bite was WAY too big, Austin!” Leia frowned at Austin and placed her forehead to his. She started to growl at him and Austin chuckled and did it back. Then he started to tickle her as he snuck another big bite out of her uncrustable. “AUSTIN!” 
Austin laughed as Leia was clearly annoyed with him. Mav saw you coming down the stairs with Bradley’s duffle. “Here, sweetheart. Let me help you.” He smiled and grabbed the heavy bag from your grasp. You made it downstairs and placed all the sandwiches on the counter. You went into the pantry to grab an insulated lunch bag. You started to pack all the sandwiches into the bag. 
“That’s quite a bit of PB&Js, darlin.” Austin chuckled as he let Leia down from the counter. 
“They’re for daddy, Austin! I know he’ll be hungry!” Leia smiled at Austin.
Austin knelt down to her and cupped her cheeks. He pulled her in and kissed her forehead, “Gosh, you are so smart, Leia Rey.” He smiled. “Well, we should get goin. Let’s go and let Phantom go home to get some sleep."
Austin grabbed the duffle from Mav and grabbed Leia’s hand. He brought them out to the car. You gave Mav a kiss on the cheek before you left. 
“I’ll be there in a bit, sweetheart! Just going to get cleaned up. I’ll be there within the hour.” 
When you, Austin, and Leia arrived at the hospital Austin grabbed the duffle and lunch bag. You let Leia down from her booster seat and held her hand. When you got into the hospital you all headed over to Bradley’s room. Phantom was laying on the couch by the window sill. You went over and patted his shoulder. 
“Hey we are here, how was he?” Phantom got up and smiled.
“He did great last night. We got a little more movement from him.” He stood up and stretched. “Who is here with you?” 
“I have Austin and Leia with me today.” You smiled. 
“Little Vapor is here?” He raised his brows to you. 
You nodded, “I felt it was a good time for her to finally come in and see him. He’s doing so much better.” 
“Where are they?” He looked around for Austin and Leia. 
“They’re in the family waiting room. I told Austin to keep her there until Mav could get here. We are going to clean up and change Brad before she comes in and sees him.”
He nodded and gave you a hug. “If you girls need anything. I’m just a phone call away.” He kissed your temple. “If anything changes with him, please give me a call.”
You smiled at Phantom and nodded. “I will, thank you.”
When Phantom left, you sat next to Bradley. You held his hand in yours. “Hi baby, I’m back.” You kissed the back of his hand. “If you can hear me, Bradley… Can you squeeze my hand, baby?” You stayed still as you waited for the slightest movement. You felt his fingers slightly curl to your hand and you smiled. “There you go, baby. There you go, Bradley. I’m here, honey. I love you so much. You are doing so good. I am so proud of you, Bradley.” You rubbed his hand and arm, “Our little Leia is here to finally see you baby. She’s so excited to finally see you. She’s missed you so much.” You rubbed your hand over his scruffy face. “She’s been so strong. She definitely gets that from you.” You felt his hand twitch in yours. 
You stood up and leaned over the bed railing and kissed his cheek. His prickly hair poking your lips. “Mav is going to come and help me clean you up and get you changed. Get you out of these endless hospital gowns.” You laughed, “How does that sound, honey?” You noticed he was trying to smile as the apple of his cheek bones balled up. You gasped and started to laugh, “I’ll take that as a yes please.” 
His eyes started to flutter. You were noticing the white of his eyes starting to show. You stood up, “You got it, Bradley. You got it, honey. Just keep trying. You’re doing so good.” You held his hand tight in yours and caressed his cheek with your other hand, “Good job, my baby. You are doing so good.” You started to cry happy tears.
Mav finally came into the room. “Y/n, I’m here sweetheart.”
You waved him over, “Mav hurry come over.” He jogged over with a smile on his face. “Look, Mav. He’s trying.” 
Mav chuckled, “There you go, Brad.” He rubbed his arm. “You got it, son. There you go.”
Bradley’s eyes opened slightly. He blinked a couple of times and looked at you. His eyes lit up. You could see that he was trying to smile. You started to tear up, “Oh my god, Bradley.” You cupped his face. He still had the tube in his mouth. You and Mav started to cry as he looked at the both of you. “My baby.” You whispered to him.
He shakily brought his hand up to your cheek. You grabbed it with both hands and placed it on your cheek, he caressed his thumb over it. You held his hand hard to your cheek and kissed his palm. “God, I love you so much, Bradley. I love you so fucking much, baby.” You kissed his palm over and over again. Your body became overjoyed with happiness, you felt like you were floating away on a cloud. Here he was, your husband, he was finally back. Your Bradley was home. 
You went to go and grab a nurse. They came into the room and greeted Bradley. “Hello, Lieutenant Commander Bradshaw! Welcome back! I’m so happy to see you back. How are you feeling pain-wise, sir?” The nurse came around to chest his vitals. Bradley flashed him a weak and shakey thumbs up. “That’s great! Okay now take a deep breath alright? I’m going to take the ventilator out from you. You’ll feel a lot of pressure in your neck. That’s just the tube coming up, okay?” Bradley nodded slowly and slightly as he closed his eyes to signal he agreed.
The nurse turned off the ventilator and came over to Bradley. “Breathing feel alright?” Bradley closed his eyes to signal yes. “Okay, sir. Get ready when I say 3 take a deep breath in.” Bradley closed his eyes again. 
Mav wrapped his arm around your shoulders. You held onto him tightly and excited. 
The nurse started to unsnap the mechanism that was around Bradley's mouth. He removed it and all that was left was the tube. “Okay, Lieutenant Commander. On three, deep breath, let’s get this thing out of you. One, Two, Three.” Bradley took a deep weezy breath and the nurse started to pull the tube from him. Bradley started to gag and cough as it came up. His eyes tore up as he choked slightly. The tube finally all came out and had some blood on it. Bradley gasped for air and started to cough dryly. He winced at the pain he was feeling in his torso. He held onto his chest as he coughed. 
“I’ll go and get you some medication for the pain, sir.” Bradley closed his eyes tight and raised his brows as he continued to cough. 
When the nurse left the room you bee lined for Bradley. You grabbed his face and kissed his lips over and over again. He started to laugh through his cough. You didn’t care that his lips were super dry. You just wanted to feel his lips against yours. You never thought you would get this chance again. 
When you finally broke away from his lips. Bradley gasped and wheezed for air as he gave you a little smile. You looked into his eyes and they looked so relaxed. You knew he was finally happy to see you. Bradley gestured for some water. You grabbed a water bottle from his bedside table. You held it to his lips and he began to drink it slowly. He nearly drank the whole bottle before he nodded at you that he was done. 
He swallowed the water that was in his mouth. He smiled and looked up at you. “Hi, sweetheart.” His voice was so soft and really raspy. He smiled up at you. 
You smiled and shook your head. Of course, this man was going to greet you. Even if he could barely breathe. You started to cry, “Hi, baby." You placed your hands on his cheeks, “Hi, my baby. Hi.” 
Mav came over and kissed Bradley on his forehead. Bradley looked over at Mav with wide eyes. “Holy shit, You’re here. You're actually here.” He chuckled softly and grabbed onto Mav’s hand. He kept looking at him with big eyes and disbelief that his uncle was standing here in front of him.
Mav started to laugh, “I’m here, Bradley. I’m here. It’s good to finally see you. I’ve been waiting a long time for you to finally open your eyes and hear your voice.” Mav held Bradley’s hand close to his heart. “I love you so much, Bradley.” He started to cry.
Bradley smiled and a small tear fell from his eye, “I love you, Mav.” His voice was super hoarse and shaky.
He looked back over to you. “I missed you, sweetheart. I heard you talking to me everyday. Thank you so much, baby. You were my motivation to keep pushing.” He smiled at you. 
You kissed him over and over again. “I love you, Bradley Bradshaw, always.
“And I love you, y/n Bradshaw, forever.” 
You and Mav kept Bradley waking up a little secret from Austin and Leia. You wanted to surprise them when they came into the room. You and Mav started to clean up Bradley. You were being gentle with him because he was still in pain. The nurse said that the medication he gave him would kick in shortly. You washed Bradley’s face and brushed his teeth. You applied moisturizer and exfoliated his lips. You applied some lips balm to his lips and they were soft and smooth again. You washed his hair gently and fixed it for him. His curls were really defined. Mac gave Bradley’s body a sponge bath. He cleaned him up pretty well. You helped Bradley change into some sweats from home. After he was cleaned up and clothed, the nurses came in to change his bedding before he got comfortable in bed. 
Bradley’s voice was very soft and raspy from not talking for nearly a month. “Thank you both, I feel so much better.” Bradley took a deep breath and winced slightly at his pain. You kissed his lips and smiled. “Are you ready to see your little girl?” 
Bradley’s eyes went wide and he nodded his head. “I can’t wait to give her a kiss,” he grunted and held his chest. You and Mav looked at Bradley concerned knowing he was in great amounts of pain.
"You all right, Bradley?" Mav came over and rubbed his arm gently.
Bradley breathed in and you could hear the crackling and wheezing coming from his chest. He nodded and gave him a weak smile. "I'll be okay."
Mav nodded and looked up at you. You looked back at him and at Bradley. "I'll be back, okay?"
------
You went to the Family waiting room to go and get Austin and Leia. He was sitting with her on a couch and reading a book to her as she cuddled into his side with her teddy. You opened the door slowly and smiled. “Are you both ready to see him? We just finished getting him ready.”
Austin nudged Leia, “You ready to see your daddy, Leia girl?”
She nodded fast, “Yes! I can’t wait to give him a kiss!” She jumped down from the couch and came over to grab your hand. When you reached Bradley’s room you looked down at Leia. You cupped her cheek as she smiled up at you. 
“I just want to warn you, baby. Daddy is hooked up to a couple of things to help monitor him. Daddy had a couple of bumps and bruises. He’s also a little fragile right now, so we have to be very gentle, okay?” 
She nodded, “I understand, momma.” You looked at Austin and smiled. “Ready?” He nodded to you. 
“Here we go, Vapor girl.” You held your hand out to Leia and she grabbed it. In her other arm she hugged her teddy tight. She took a deep breath as you opened the door. The three of you walked in and you opened the curtain. 
Austin placed his hands on Leia’s shoulders. You all three walked in, Mav was sitting at Bradley’s bed side rubbing his arm. 
Leia looked at him and Bradley turned his head slowly to see her. His eyes went soft and he smirked at her. 
“Hi, my Leia Rey.” His voice was soft. 
Leia started to tear up. She held onto her teddy tighter. “Daddy…?” Her breath quickened. 
Bradley slowly waved her over. “Hi, sweetheart.”
Leia started sobbing, “DADDY!” She ran for Bradley. 
Austin placed his hand on your shoulder when he saw Bradley awake. He looked at you with wide eyes and pulled you in for a hug. “Oh my… Darlin! He’s awake! And talking!” You looked up at Austin and teared up. He kissed your forehead and walked over to Bradley. 
Leia was clinging onto her dad’s hand. “Daddy, I missed you so much! I knew you would be okay!” 
Bradley brought his hand to Leia’s cheek, “I’m not going anywhere, my Leia babe. Daddy is here.” He looked at her so lovingly, the same gaze he had on her when he first saw her. He caressed her cheek and fell relaxed in her hands. Leia held onto her dad's hand tight against her cheek.
Austin came to Bradley and Bradley gave him a shaky fist pump. “Heyyy. Aus! You’re here.” Bradley chuckled. 
“I’m so happy I am.” Austin started to tear up as he saw Bradley. 
“Where is your girl?” Bradley sounded concern for Phoenix. 
“I’m going to call her up. She has to come and see you. She’s at work right now.” Austin placed his hand on Bradley’s shoulder. “It’s great to see you up, man.” 
Bradley nodded, “It’s great to be here, man.” They shook hands and Leia snatched her daddy’s hand from Austin. 
Leia placed kisses all over Bradley hand. “I love you so much, daddy.” She cuddled into Bradley’s hand. 
“I love you, Leia Rey, forever.”

It's Always Been You
Prompt: Bob trying to hold your hand and failing miserably.
a/n: I really hope this turns out good, it is 10 pm and I have been tired since 3 pm. Let me know if yall like this! Taglist is open if you want to be added to it.
Tumblr media
Bob has had a crush on you for exactly 8 months and 12 days. He's also known you for exactly 8 months and 12 days. Every day, since he met you he swears today, will be the day he asks you out or does anything just something to make a move. So far it hasn't ever been true. He just sees you and loses all composure. He feels like he's back to being that awkward 13-year-old boy with clammy hands and a shirt that hangs off his body.
It wasn't so bad when the team didn't also know about his raging crush on you. That only lasted two weeks though before the rest of the crew was putting it together. He really tried to keep his love-struck gaze more secret but he's never been very good at hiding things.
He's startled from his thoughts as hangman grabs his shoulder, "you know bob you should really just make a move already" smirk already in place.
"I-" bob sighs "if only it were that easy" he mumbled back out.
"it can be that easy, just go up to her and say you're madly in love with her, and bam it's done" Bob only rolled his eyes at this idea, because of course hangman, carved like a greek god and got anything he wanted would see it this way. You were too perfect, too amazing for him to just walk over and give some cheesy overused line.
Hangman sighs "look bob, you might not see it but she looks at you like you hung the moon in the sky, just make a damn move already so we don't have to watch you both pine over each other all the god damn time" with that he walks away, back towards the pool tables to talk some more shit to rooster.
Bob groans, putting his head down on his forearms. Why can't he be as confident as hangman or as easy-going as rooster. Life would be so much easier if he could just get out of his awkward mind for a few minutes.
After a few more minutes of miserably laying on top of the bar, he lifts his head and finishes his beer. He looks over to see you grinning with phoenix, he can't help the small smile that grows on his face at you two having fun.
_________
You look up from your conversation with phoenix to see bob with the sweetest smile on his face. Blushing you try to avoid phoenix's gaze because now is so not the time to be blushing about bob.
"See!! you look at him and get all smiley and blushy! just ask him out already!" you groan because of course she noticed and of course, it was just after a fifteen-minute lecture about how you two are being stupid and just need to go for it.
"Phoenix I already told you he doesn't feel that way about me! I've tried to ask him out but every time I try to get him alone he finds a way out of it!" you whisper shout back, feeling hurt as you think back to all the times you'd tried to get alone time with bob, it seems as if he hates you. One time you hung back while everyone else went to play another round of pool just to talk to him and suddenly he'd changed his mind and wanted to play again. You ended up leaving early because there was no way you wanted anyone to see you cry.
After remembering all the times you tried to talk to bob, see if he liked you the way everyone swears he does, you didn't feel in a good mood anymore. You could tell phoenix regretted bringing it up, based on your face probably. You've never had a good poker face.
"Hey, I'm just gonna go grab some fresh air okay? I'll be back in a minute" Trying to fake a smile for phoenix's sake, but knowing she could see through you anyways you turned and walked out the door. Sighing as you get outside you breathe in the fresh ocean air, walking halfway down the beach before sitting on the sand. You didn't know bob had watched the whole thing. You definitely didn't know that phoenix stormed up to the confused brunette.
"Bob I swear to god if you don't get your shit together and go talk to y/n. She thinks you hate her because every time she's around you find a way to leave and I don't want to hear about how it's because you're nervous because so is she!" After phoenix's mini-rant, bob sat straighter. You think he hates you? He could never hate you, the minute he saw you he couldn't breathe, the ability to form any sentences was gone, and in its place were clammy hands and heart palpitations. He knew phoenix was right though, if he didn't go out and ask you out tonight he'd lose any chance he had. Even if you didn't want him, he figures it's better to know for sure than to always wonder what could've been.
Standing, bob wipes his hands on his jeans. Blowing out a nervous sign, he looks at phoenix. He knows the look is probably desperate, or just downright pathetic. She looks more sympathetic but she doesn't give him an out, she just pats his back and wishes him luck.
______
He hears you before he fully sees you. Sure he can see some form of a silhouette, but what stands out are the little sniffles that are coming from the slouched person. You look defeated and he hasn't even seen your face yet. He gulps, because if what phoenix said is true, then this is his fault.
"u-um y/n?" he whispers out, not wanting to startle you but also not sure his voice could've come out louder with the amount of nerves he has. He watches your shoulders straighten, the quick dart of your hands to wipe what he can assume is tears off your face. "Is it alright if I sit?" he asks, just as quiet as before. He sees a small nod and that's all he needs. Sitting down beside you he's careful to not sit too close because even though all he wants to do is pull you into a hug and tell you he's sorry for being so damn stupid, he doesn't think that would be his best course of action.
You watch as bob opens and closes his mouth several times before you decide to speak up. "I'm assuming phoenix told you then" you mumble. It would be hard for anyone else to hear but bob hears you like the rest of the world is on mute and you're the only thing he can hear, no matter the distance.
"Yeah, she did. I-" he pauses, letting sand fall through his hands
"it's okay bob, you don't have to say anything" you just want to disappear, why did she have to tell bob you are basically in love with him.
"yes, I do, not saying anything is exactly why we're here" Bob says back, voice stronger this time. He can't just let you think he hates you anymore not when he's literally in love with you.
Great, you think, here's the let me down gently conversation. Of course, bob is going to let you down gently, he's so nice and sweet and perfect he wouldn't do anything malicious even if it does hurt like hell that he doesn't want you.
"y/n I....." he trails off, trying to start the conversation over several times before you groan.
"Bob, can we please skip this part.. I get it, you don't like me back, that's okay I promise I won't make things weird, but we don't have to have the let me down easy we can be friends conversation. I promise it's okay, I am okay." you rush out. eyes stinging with more tears because you weren't okay, and you just wanted to climb in bed and not ever see another person again.
Bob was shocked. You liked him? and you think that he doesn't want you?
"wh-you like me?" the question comes out in a breathy whisper.
You glance over at him to see pure shock. The blood in your veins turns to ice, and you move to get up, almost on autopilot, ready to go shut down for the rest of the weekend and avoid everyone as much as possible. However, bob speaks up before you can fully stand.
"This whole time, I've been terrified that you would never like me back so why say anything, but you thought I hated you?" realization hits you about what phoenix said to bob and you almost laugh at how you outed yourself, she's very clever that phoenix. You don't get the chance to though because your brain processes his words.
"wait... so you like me too?" you watch and bob swallowed, wiping his hands on his jeans, and getting sand everywhere.
"y/n.. I've liked you since I met you, it's always been you." you blush at his words, feeling like you need to pinch yourself because this has to be a dream.
Finding yourself grinning "so are you going to ask me out then?" you feel smug as the crimson creeps into his cheeks.
"would you want to go out-" you cut him off with a "yes!" you both start laughing, maybe it's nervous laughter and maybe it's laughter because you two are so dumb for not talking about this sooner.
It doesn't take long for you two to settle, falling back in the sand and watching the stars together. It takes bob another twenty minutes to work up the nerve to grab your hand or attempt to. You didn't realize he was going for your hand and so you reach up to point out the big dipper right as he reaches for your hand, your momentum sends his hand flying back and it almost hits him in the face.
He groans out loud "c'mon can't something just go my way and not be awkward" you start laughing, feeling bad but also thinking this is exactly why you adore him. Grinning at him you grab his hand and lace your fingers together, leaning over to give him a peck on the cheek.
Unaware that the rest of the team was sitting by the window watching the whole scene unfold. The next day when nobody can hold their jokes about bob nearly smacking himself in the face anymore you both realize that there was a whole lot of scheming into getting you both outside that night. You cant find it in you to be mad, not when you have bob holding your hand now.

Meet my family
Pierre Gasly x fem!reader
Summary: The reader meets Pierre's family for the first time
From this request
WARNINGS: Bad English (a little google translate),Google translate French
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Pierre has been wanting to introduce you to his family for a while, but you somehow managed to escape it every time. It's not that you want to run away, it's just that it was a big thing meeting your boyfriend's family. Will they love you or will they hate you? You also knew that your social anxiety wouldn't help you at all.
Finally one evening, Pierre came home and said that his family had invited you to dinner and accepted because he couldn't say no."Pierre" you rebelled and said his name and threw yourself on your back on the bed "what will I do now what will I wear what if they don't like me"
Pierre sat next to you and you looked at him "I'm pretty sure they'll love you don't worry I love you the way you are you are perfect just to remind you we have to leave in an hour" you quickly got out of bed and went to the closet "damn pierre what does 1 hour mean of" When you saw him laughing at you running around, you took a t-shirt from near and threw it his face.
When you finally found a dress you were comfortable in and wore it and did your hair with make-up, and also checked yourself in the mirror for almost 100 times, Pierre entered the room again and leaned against your make-up table and started to watch you.
"No no not these earrings, Pierre, do you think I should have worn exaggerated jeans, definitely yes, let me change my clothes." Pierre approached you and took your face in his hands "breathe and stop, you're so beautiful, make sure my family will love you, let's go"
You got in the car together. You were doing the things you always do, like snapping your fingers and playing with your nails, all along the way. Pierre of course saw this, but he decided not to say anything until you got out of the car.
When we parked the car in the garden of the house, Pierre got in before you, opened the door and helped you out. he waited for you while you was fixing your dress, he held your hand for you to make eye contact."Please don't worry they'll love you I promise."
You started to walk towards the house, Pierre did not let go until he came home, he pressed the doorbell and you started to wait. Pierre's mom opened the door "bienvenue les gars oh mon dieu YN? Pierre tu ne m'as pas dit que tu étais aussi belle." (welcome guys oh my god YN? Pierre, you didn't tell me that she is so beautiful.)
"Maman, allons à l'intérieur, tu l'embarrasses" (Mama, let's go inside, you're embarrassing her),Pierre's mom went ahead and you followed her in. while you were going to the living room, Pierre and you looked each other he looked like he wanted to make sure you are okay you smiled at him.
When you entered the living room, Pierre's father greeted you and hugged you both.Since you didn't expect to be loved so much, you kept up with the environment and when you got to the table, you started a really nice conversation.
"Une fille comme un modèle Pierre, tu aurais dû nous la présenter plus tôt." (A girl like a model Pierre, you should have introduced her to us earlier) you said thank you in a low voice, they've been so kind to you all evening.
When it was time to go home, Pierre's mother and father hugged you and added how much they loved you and how kind you were, you blushed  because they praised you so much. You took a deep breath and smiled when you got in the car.
"Your parents are amazing people thank you for bringing me here" Pierre looked at you smiled and leaned down to place a small kiss on your lips "I told you, you don't have to be nervous, they'll love you anyway, so let's go home, you're so tired" he started to drive home.

Maybe #6 the "Are you jealous?" prompt? Your choice on who 🤭
In honor of our sailor husband coming back from the war, this is a modern!Tom Bennett oneshot!
SFW but suggestive themes are present. Reader is AFAB but not descripted. Warning for: jealousy and innuendo.
"Wait, what? Are you jealous?".
You stare at Tom Bennett incredulous. When you first met him, you immediately knew he was a walking, breathing red flag. The fuckboy to end all of the fuckboys, with his pretty blue eyes and cocky smirk. You've never seen him leave the pub without a pretty girl on his arm, and even Rosie, the pub owner, eyes him with interest every single time he pops by for a pint ("If only I were twenty years younger" she once said to you "I don't think he would mind" "But I would. I am far too old to have my heart broken" "Then why are you always looking at him as if he's the best snack you've ever seen?" "Because I might be old and wary, but I do still have eyes, my dear").
You are helping with the annual village spring fair, organizing the space in and outside the pub, working your arse off decorating the beer garden and trying to decide with Rosie what she's going to put on the menu. All of this on your time off from your actual job and before going to bed, crunching on your precious sleeping time, keeping yourself awake on double espressos and sheer stubbornness, but God are you tired and cranky and can't wait for this to be over to die on the bed for a whole week! And then there's Tom Bennett hanging around, not helping, just giving unsolicited advice while smoking leisurely outside. In the past few days you had made your best attempts at ignoring him, threw random crumpled paper at him and ignoring him again, all of this while working with other young people from the village.
Today everything seemed to go on well, your team willing to put the last efforts in, until Tom had to pick a fight with a guy, disrupting your work and now you find yourself in the backroom of the pub, to check on his injuries. It's not that bad: a split lip, a bump on his forehead, bruised knuckles and a black eye. The other guy was in worse condition and you had to send him home.
"Of all times you could pick for a fistfight, you had to decide on now!".
You tell him, exasperated, while roughly pushing a bag of ice on his forehead and he grunts a whine of unhappiness.
"He should have kept his hands for himself" he answers, looking at you from under his eyelashes, angry and coy at the same time.
"He was helping me!" "He was feeling your arse!" "I am afraid of ladders, you idiot! He was helping me keeping my balance!" "With both his hands on your arse?".
You look at him for a second and can't help yourself
"Wait, what? Are you jealous?" "Me? Jealous? I'm not jealous!" he snaps back at you, jumping on his feet.
Oh God, you say to yourself, oh God, thinking back at all the times you had popped by the pub with someone, the way he would weight up your date and what he would do afterwards. With girls, he would just drop comments, sarcastic and vitriolic, but with guys, there was always a reason to pick a fight. You had never noticed this pattern that checks, in hindsight, adding it to the fact that he's always around you when you are at the pub on your own or helping Rosie during a busy night. Oh boy have you been denser than a brick wall as of late!
"I think you are jealous, Tommy Bennett" you say, walking to him until your faces are mere inches apart "I am not" but his hands are on your arms, warm and big, his eyes trained on your lips "Lying boys don't get their reward" you murmur in his ear, your body plastered against his and is that an erection you are feeling against your tummy? "What's that going to be?" it comes out almost unintelligible, his accent thicker with arousal "That's a surprise - your tongue licks fast at his lips - fair notice, though, I am not interested in becoming another notch on your bedpost".
He groans, his hands flex on your arms and you wonder how they would feel on your tights, when he eats you out. Will he leave marks on the soft skin there? You hope so.
"Who says you're going to be one?" "Your track record" "I can prove you wrong" he says, eyes hazy with need, your smell in his nostrils hypnotizing him "Good! - you say, swiftly removing yourself from his vicinity and he almost falls on his face - You know where I live. Come pick me up at eight tonight and I shall see how you can start to prove me wrong!".
His eyes are glossy and his mouth is curved in an unhappy smirk.
"You are a minx - the heath in his voice makes you tremble - you know I will make you pay for this, right?" "Promises, promises pretty boy. See you tonight!".
You speed away, leaving him to deal with the boner in his pants and the pain on his face. He'll make you pay, if not tonight, as soon as possible.

Pairing: Steven Grant x fem!reader
Warning: none just cheesy fluff
A/n: I love lego flowers so much but its so heckin expensive in my country ugh, i changed the plot a tiny bit if u dont mind @spicydonut25
Summary: Y/n brings the perfect gift for Steven on their date.
Tumblr media
Meeting Steven was strange, and dating him is even stranger. The British man seems to drive Y/n crazy (in the best way possible) because he doesn't fit in any male category that the internet offers.
Y/n's eyes are starting to get tired from looking at the laptop's screen, scrolling mindlessly through the lists of gifts that everyone thinks are good ideals for a man. But they're all wrong! This is not any man; this is Steven! For God's sake, he doesn't need perfume or a pair of sneakers.
Y/n cursed under her breath. She wants to get the perfect gift for Steven; the poor guy should keep a random trinket she found at his table like a lucky charm.
*ting*
The sound catches Y/n's attention. Quickly tossing the laptop aside, she reaches for the phone to see what's up.
*Hi Im just texting to make sure our date are on Friday 7pm this week yea?*
It seems to be a text from Steven himself; he always wants to double check everything and tries his best to be on time. Y/n can't help smiling while tapping the screen and typing back a reply.
*Yep, im looking forward to meet u soon <3*
Steven replied almost immediately after, but instead of making Y/n happy, it made her stomach churn with anxiety.
*Me too, got a small surprise for you*
Y/n sighed tiredly; she can't believe Steven had already gotten her a present, and here she is, on her bed, with a blank mind. Would a new jacket do the trick? or a bag? or maybe something for little Gus.
Y/n returns to scrolling on her laptop, looking at the many items that flash on the shopping website. And just when she thinks her luck has run out, she notices something. 
Lego.
Not only Lego, but Lego's flowers! The store even had the flowers that Steven gifted Y/n on their first date, the type of flowers that Steven was so determined to get that he ran to five different stores to find them and almost missed the date.
Y/n smiles to herself while thinking back on the memories. This sure would be a very thoughtful gift for Steven, and plus, his desk will look better with it as a decoration (not a random trinket).
Feeling satisfied, Y/n added the lego set to her cart and completed the payment, thinking about how happy her lover would be.
===☾︎ ☾︎ ☾︎===
"You're early!" Y/n exclaimed when she arrived at the spot and already saw Steven sitting there, waiting for her. "Traffic is terrible; I should have left the house earlier."
"No, no, it's alright, you're right on time." Steven smiled and stood up to hug Y/n, sneaking in a quick kiss on her cheek too.
"Oh and here," Steven said, letting go of his lover and reaching into the pocket, pulling something out to show. "A present, as promised."
It was a beige box with silk ribbon wrapped around it, forming a bow. Y/n's face lit up when she eagerly took the box from Steven's hand, quickly unwrapping it. "A keychain! of my favorite animal!" Y/n said out loud before holding it near her eyes, seeing how the glitter sparkled under the street light.
Steven swears it's the most beautiful sight ever, seeing how excited Y/n is over his small gift. It's not very exaggerated to say he is a bar of ice cream and Y/n is the sun, the way he melted for her but still wants to admire her forever.
"Oh, I've got something for you too!" Y/n held up a paper bag and smiled shyly. "It arrived a bit late, so I don't have time to wrap it properly, sorry."
Steven mumbled a quick "it's okay" before saying thank you and taking the bag from Y/n's hand. The moment he looks inside to see what it is, his eyes widen with shock.
"A..No way! Is this for me, darling? Lego?! Oh, hang on now, let me take a better look...Lego's flower! Oh...wow.." Steven can't help his excitement upon seeing the gift; he had seen some kids bring some sort of blocky toy like this to the museum but never dared ask what it is.
"So this is... popular among kids, right?" He asked, fingers trading the display picture of the box.
"Hmm, I would say so, but this one is for adults; it contains a lot of pieces."
"Oh geez, I appreciate it, but why don't you just buy something cheaper? Like...real flowers? I love anything, as long as it's from you." Steven blushed while saying this and looked down at his lap; he has this bad habit of avoiding eye contact whenever he is nervous and can't seem to quit it.
But Y/n never mind; instead of getting mad, she put her hand on Steven's cheek, slowly guiding his head so that he looked at her.
"Real flowers will wither, but this one won't; it will stay forever, like my love for you."
