@/pinklemonade: omg the video of Henry scratching an itch that Y/n had while she’s breastfeeding has me pissing myself with laughter.

Can I tell you a secret?

[Robbie Shapiro x F!Reader]

A/N: Hi! This fic is inspired by the gif above :) I've only seen a handfull robbie fanfics and I am still completely in love with that man so I wanted to write one myself :) oh and english isn't my first language! so sorry if some words are weird lol

─── ･ ｡ﾟ☆: .☽ . :☆ﾟ. ───

Summary: Robbie finally confessing his feelings for the girl he's been in love with for the past months.

Warnings: None, just extreme fluff.

It was the big night, the cow-wow dance was tonight and Y/n was pretty excited. It was her first schoolevent at Hollywood Arts.

"Earth to Y/n?" Jade said as they walked towards the school. In the 5 months that y/n attended HA Jade became her closest friend. Sure, she can be bit mean but for some reason she took y/n under her wing and since then they kinda became inseperable.

"Sorry, I'm just kinda nervous I guess?" Y/n said as she fixed the bowties in her ponytails.

"Nervous? for what? Sinjin in a hula?" Jade snickered

"No- no, not that." Y/n chuckled. "Even tho it is something I should avoid." She said.

"For what are u nervous then?" Jade asked once again. They finally arrived at the school and everything was very well decorated.

"I- eh-" Y/n stuttered but before she could finish her sentence, someone yelled her name.

"Y/n! Y/n!" She heard a familliar voice yell. She turned around and locked eyes with the cute curly haired boy. She smiled, but her smile faded quickly as she saw that he was with an unfamiliar face. Jade saw her smile fade.

"Ur finally here!" He said as he approched her.

"Yea, uh- we had some stuff we still had to fix-" She said but he interupted her.

"This is Gabriela, my date!" He said proudly and smiled. Gabriela looked up and gave Y/n and Jade a small smile.

"Hey" She said, a bit cold.

Y/n gave a weak smile and looked back at Jade, who was just staring with an angry look on her face.

Robbie didn't really knew what was going on as he looked at the girls confused.

"Well.. Okay, Im going to get something to drink for Gabriela, u guys want something?" He asked a bit hesitant.

"Yea s-" Y/n said but was interupted by Jade.

"We can get it ourselves." She said annoyed. Robbie shrugged and took Gabriela's arm as he wandered off with her. As they walked off Beck arrived, sneaking an arm around Jade's waist.

"Hey you guys, what just happend?" He asked as he took a sip of his drink.

"Robbie happend." Jade said annoyed as she took the drink from becks hand and took a sip herself.

"It's fine Jade, Really.." Y/n said a bit sad.

"No, it's not okay." Jade said and looked at Beck.

"We got work to do." Jade said and Beck just nodded.

"No, Jade, please. It's fi-" Y/n tried to say, but before she could finish her sentence Jade and Beck were already on their way. Y/n sighed as she walked towards the drink booth and took a cup of whatever. The first big event at her new school and it was already a shitshow.

"Hey y/n/n." She heard from behind her. She looked around and saw Andre and Tori walking up to her.

"Hey guys." Y/n said a bit devistated.

"What's wrong?" Andre asked a bit worried.

"I don't really know, I'm feeling all these things that I didn't knew existed until now." Y/n said as she took a sip of her drink.

"U wanna talk about it?" Tori offered.

"Not really, sorry." Y/n said and gave a weak smile. "Thanks tho." She added.

"It's no problem." Andre said as he looked at the time.

"Shit, we have to go on in like 10 minutes-" Andre said worried and Tori looked up.

"Sorry y/n, we gotta prepare for the show. But after that, we're going to hang and make the best out of tonight. Okay?" Tori said and y/n nodded.

"Thanks guys" Y/n said a bit happier and hugged them both.

"Imma cheer u guys on the whole show, u know that right?" Y/n chuckled and they nodded.

"You better!" Andre said as they walked away. Y/n was alone, again. Jade and beck were nowhere to be found, Robbie was probably dancing with that girl of his and cat? Cat was also nowhere to be found. Y/n decided to sit on one of the picnic tables in the corner of the parkinglot, still sipping her drink. Everyone was having fun time, why couldn't she?

In the meantime Robbie was being harassed by Jade.

"What did u do, shapiro?" Jade asked angrily as she grabbed the collar of his button-up.

"I don't know! What did I do?" Robbie asked confused, looking pannicked back at Beck.

"I have no clue my friend, but u better fix it now." Beck said, trying not to intervine with what going on.

"Jade- please. Tell me what I did wrong so I can f-fix it, please?" Robbie asked and Jade loosend her grip.

"You hurted Y/n, stop playing dumb." She said annoyed as she let him go.

"How- You know I would never ever hurt her on purpose!" He said, still a bit panicked.

"Did I hurt her..?" He added, now a bit worried.

"Are you fucking blind?" She basically screamed.

"I mean, kinda? I have pretty strong gla-" Robbie said but got interupted by Jade.

"She likes you!" Jade said while facepalming. Robbie's eyes wident.

"She didn't even have to tell me and I already knew by the way she acts around you. How can you be so incredibly dumb?" Jade added and sighed.

"Where is she?" Robbie asked in a hurry.

"I don't know, probably around here somewh-" Jade couldn't even finish her sentence or Robbie was already gone. Jade looked at Beck who was still just standing there.

"Let's get something to drink-" Jade said.

"Yea, good idea." Beck added as they walked away.

Y/n was still sitting on top of the picnic table, listening to the music. Her feet were dangeling off the side.

"There you are-" She heard a familiar voice say.

"Oh, hey Robs." She said without looking up.

Robbie sat down next to her and gave her a cup with something to drink. She took the drink from his hands and looked up.

"Thanks-" She said but looked confused.

"Where is ur date?" She added and looked confused. Robbie chuckled.

"I don't know, haven't seen her all night." He said as he placed down his drink next to him.

"I have a small feeling that we gotta talk" He said as he turned his head towards her. Y/n felt her cheeks heat up a bit.

"Okay- I don't know what Jade told u-" She started and looked down again but he interupted her.

"Look, Y/n," He paused for a second. The look on his face gave away that he was struggeling to find the right words. Y/n got a bit anxious, because most of the times when people are looking for the right words it's not positive.

"Can I tell you a secret?" He finally said and smiled a bit.

'Sure" Y/n said, still looking at the ground.

Robbie got close to her ear, as if he wanted to whisper something but instead he stopped, slowly raised his hand and slowly turned her head with his finger and gave her a soft, sweet kiss. She was taken a bit back at first. Butterflies exploded in her stomach as she melted away in the kiss. Robbie then pulled away, not breaking eye contact.

"Now I still don't know your secret-" Y/n said to break the silence. They both chuckled.

"I've liked you since the moment i've met you, y/n." He said softly which grew a huge smile on Y/n face.

"Well, good to know. Because I like you too, Shapiro." Y/n said and Robbie smiled.

"That's good, because it would've been weird if I kissed you and you didn't." He said and the both laughed for a bit. Robbie took y/n hand and sat closer to her. Y/n looked up again, stealing a quick kiss from him.

"Couldn't resist, sorry." She said and they both chuckled again.

"You can steal all the kisses you want from now on, no need to worry." He said and smiled. Y/n leaned her head on his shoulder.

𝐏𝐀𝐑𝐓 𝐕𝐈. 𝐋𝐎𝐕𝐄, 𝐋𝐄𝐓'𝐒 𝐓𝐀𝐋𝐊 𝐀𝐁𝐎𝐔𝐓 𝐋𝐎𝐕𝐄

summary: it's a hard day... and a hard day's night.

word count: 3.780k

tw: boxing, fight, blood, badly written emotions (please reassure me that it's not as bad as i think it is)

author's note: it's 3am but i couldn't rest until i post this sooo here we are uwu

part 1 part 2 part 3 part 4 part 5 playlist!! 

walking to the bookstore, y/n talked with her boss on her phone so she could switch her shift today with somebody else. she also thought about her chances and possibilities. she got a second chance (or rather hyeon-ju got it from her), she’s gonna talk through it. and if it’s successful, then she’s going with them, and if it blows, then… she’s gonna use yang-jung’s and doo-young’s help. it’s always another way, isn't it? and with gun-woo… shit, they’re gonna figure it out. 

when she turned into the street, she already saw gun-woo. picking the earphones out from her ear, she smiled as she got there. when they got in front of each other, y/n initiated a hug. please accept it, please accept it and don’t push me away, she thought, but when gun-woo wrapped his arms around her too, she felt relief.

“y/n, was work alright?” work? oh, yeah… y/n nodded. 

“yeah, i talked with him about switching my shift tonight, he was alright with that.” she answered. before she could go in, gun-woo seemed to take a deep breath. “what, do you wanna say something, gun-woo?” 

gun-woo looked at her, then sighing a short breath, he shook his head. 

“no, i… i don’t. let’s go get there, hyeon-ju is waiting for you.” 

“is everything alright?” y/n asked. “like, did hyeon-ju forgive the two of you?” 

“yeah, she did. but sir choi, her granddad was here. he said that he’s disappointed in her, but then one word led to another, and he told me and woo-jin to go home. then, we ate… and that’s all.” 

“oh…” y/n muttered. “he probably isn't happy that we get ourselves into danger. but until nobody, not even the police does something, we should call this progress, too.” maybe she should tell yang-jung and doo-young what they plan. 

y/n nodded, following him, but then he slowed down so they walked beside each other. 

“are you nervous?” 

“a little bit. but it’s gonna be okay. see, gun-woo… if this doesn’t work out, can we… so, can we keep the contact? i know work is work, but you… and woo-jin, “she added hurriedly, didn’t want to reveal her real thoughts, “, i think we became good friends for a short time.”

gun-woo nodded. 

“of course, y/n! i was thinking about the same thing. but you and hyeon-ju are going to talk through this, so you're gonna stay with us. i guess she’s thinking the same way, you seem good, and the more we are, the better.” 

“i hope it, too.” y/n sighed as they entered the bookstore. hyeon-ju and woo-jin were there, and suddenly a pregnant weight laid on the room as y/n looked at hyeon-ju. okay, just be calm and collected. don’t lose your mind because of a few words. she probably doesn’t really thinks what she says, y/n said to herself. 

“please sit down, y/n.” she did as hyeon-ju told, tucking her hair behind her ear. 

“i heard you want to talk with me. about what?” y/n asked, looking and gun-woo, then back to the other girl. hyeon-ju’s face was serious. 

“i am sorry for what happened yesterday. i said things hastily and thoughtlessly.” she said. y/n lifted her eyebrows, like ‘that’s all?’ but yeah, that seemed to be all. for a girl like hyeon-ju, it got to be taken as an apology, and a process for their future. 

“apology accepted.” although i don’t believe it, she added, but only to herself. 

“i called for you because i have a new plan. we stalk yang jae-myeong again, but this time, it’s gotta be more careful. i drive the three of you at midnight, anywhere where they go. is this alright with you?” 

y/n looked at woo-jin and gun-woo again. they both smiled a little, encouraging her to participate. nodding, y/n looked at her again. 

“it’s okay. i just ask for some preparation time. i’m hungry, and a coffee could do good to me.” 

“okay, we planned to start at night. be here at ten, as far as i know, yang jae-myeong’s gang doesn’t make a move before sunset.” y/n nodded at hyeon-ju’s words. 

“i’m going to get some food. gun-woo said that you already ate, so…”

“i can go with you.” the said boy stood up. “if yang jae-myeong knows that someone is following them, we are stronger together. nevertheless it’s daylight or not.” 

woo-jin and hyeon-ju nodded, making y/n gulp. she would lie if she said that her heartbeat didn’t increase, and she hoped that the warmness doesn’t manifest as redness on her cheeks. 

“well, then… we’ll be there at ten, or sooner. probably sooner.” she said, standing up. gun-woo kept the door open as she stepped out, walking out from the bookstore. they’re going, together! can they mean this as a date? not an original date, but still, going out together. 

“it was easier than i thought.” she said as they walked on the fresh aired streets. 

“yeah, me too.” gun-woo sighed. 

“what do you mean?” she asked, furrowing her eyebrows. 

“i just mean that you and hyeon-ju are also stubborn. maybe hyeon-ju is more, but still, i thought that the two of you were gonna fight again.” 

“do i really seem that headstrong? damn, i thought i softened through the years i spent in the bar… nevertheless, this conversation was good as it was; short, and direct. sometimes it’s all that’s needed.” y/n shrugged her shoulders. “do you drink coffee? we can eat something small.” 

“you should eat more, you barely eat some pieces of vegetables in the morning. it’s gonna be a long night.” gun-woo offered, pointing to a restaurant. “we were there with woo-jin, that’s a good place! it has meat as good as steak.” 

“you really like steak, don’t you? if i get my salary, maybe we can go and eat some. my boss is fumbling with my bonus and raise anyway.” she replied, making gun-woo shake his head. 

“no, don’t do that! i don’t want to take your money away.” 

“hush, i’d probably spend it on some useless things. eating some good food is the real good thing, mainly if you are with good company. i don’t know if i said this earlier, but i didn’t have a good company… or any company at all.” she said as they entered the restaurant. sitting down, gun-woo took off his jacket. 

“i'm gonna bring meat. we can grill it here, is it okay with you?” 

“of course, can you pick some kimchi too? and soy sauce, i really like soy sauce.” y/n added, getting comfortable in her seat. 

y/n and gun-woo talked about many things while eating, gun-woo told her about his childhood, the time when he was in the military, and when he was working at any place he could. 

“we aren’t the richest family, but i wanted to do anything i could. but boxing, boxing was always there in my life, it was something that i didn’t ever stop doing.” 

“i feel you, gun-woo. when my father… well, when he died, the gym i trained in regularly was my safe haven. it was just me, my anger and my pain. people like me… like us, as far as i know, have something that’s consistent. a feeling, a thought, a purpose, anything. what brought you to the training everyday?” 

“to protect others. and to get as strong as i can.”

“nice purpose. mine is terminated, ending with one big event. but i don’t know when that event is gonna happen, so it’s quite funny.” 

“why, what’s your purpose?” 

“to avenge my father’s death. sure, it wasn’t that strong, but since the three of you emerged, i got a little eager. it’s not an everyday offer what the three of you did for so long, that’s why i try to keep up with you as long as i can. and in the end, maybe i’m gonna succeed.” 

“i’m sure we're gonna succeed. your family doesn’t have to worry about your father’s memory. and you too shouldn’t worry about it.”

“thanks, gun-woo.”

“no need to. and… i know that this may not be the right time to ask something like this, but since you asked that we could keep in contact, i…”

“you…?” y/n asked, hoping that gun-woo’s gonna say the words she wanted to hear in that exact moment. 

“...i’m not professional with this, and i’m not good with words either. however, i have to take this risk before something happens. so, y/n, would you like to go on a date with me?” 

“what?” y/n whispered, not believing what he said. he really… like really likes her? with an attitude like hers? with a life like hers? gun-woo looked at her, waiting for her reaction. sitting in silence, y/n’s brain had to process the information.

“i mean, you don’t have to, if you don’t want to. and we can stay good friends, i just felt the need… to tell you this.”

“no, no, of course i want to go on a date with you!” y/n protested, silencing when she noticed how loud she was, and the old waitress lady looked at her too. “it’s just that… i never thought you'd ask this. but i’d like to go, of course i’d like to!”

“that’s wonderful! i mean, i’m glad that you feel the same way. i’m not good at relationships, and i don’t have many fine clothes, and i didn’t wear them until now, but to dress in if we go out…  for you, i’d do it. and i’d buy new ones.” he looked so determined, y/n wanted to kiss him. 

his words made y/n blush, bumping his hand to stop him somehow. she wasn’t sick of this, she was just too embarrassed, but in a good way. it was the best thing a guy ever told her was that ‘don’t worry, i never want to get you pregnant, so we always gonna use protection’ (they were seventeen for fuck’s sake), or ‘baby, i’d always choose you over the drugs. i’m gonna throw it all out, but please, don’t call my parents, or my boss’ (she broke up with him in the detox, and he probably didn’t even realize the whole thing from the medicines). her love life surely wasn’t a success story, but maybe, this was her chance. and she’s gonna take it, but first, she needs to calm down the too eager boy in front of her. 

“no, gun-woo… you don’t have to do that. i don’t value that much.” 

“woah, you’re so silly. don’t say this.” gun-woo cut her off, making her ogling her eyes. 

“what? stop saying i’m silly!” 

“no, i won’t stop saying it. you are worth that much, and i want to do it the proper way.” 

in the proper way? y/n didn’t understand this. probably she never dated the proper way. 

“okay, well… if you want it in the proper way… we'll do it in the proper way.” y/n smiled, reaching out her hand to hold gun-woo’s. gun-woo snickered a little, “what?” she asked. 

“it’s just… it was so easy, like not that i mind it, but… you know, i thought you don’t want to go out with me. that you like guys who're like woo-jin.” 

“like woo-jin? like, the bad guy type? or what?” 

“yeah… probably?” gun-woo tilted his head, making y/n laugh, looking into his eyes. she tried not to tear up from the happiness that came to her today. she felt herself sensitive, but maybe, with gun-woo, it was okay. he could handle it, not like many others in her life. they never seemed to understand her, and they only looked out for themselves. 

“then don’t worry, gun-woo. i had bad guys in my life, but… maybe it’s time for some good. thank you.” she whispered, holding with either of her hands gun-woo’s one, kneading a little bit with the tips of her fingers. gun-woo’s lips widened into a smile, and y/n fell in love with his cute tooth. how could someone be this perfect? 

“eat some more, y/n. you barely touched your food.” 

“okay, okay, i can’t be sentimental for a moment?” y/n replied smirking, taking a bite from the meat, sighing and rolling her eyes. she felt every fiber melting on her tongue, spreading a delicious taste in her whole mouth. “it’s the most wonderful meat i’ve ever eaten! you worked at that barbecue place for a reason! they better gave you a raise.”

“i’m glad it’s delicious.” gun-woo’s lips were so pink. y/n was happy that now, she could think about these things without guilt. 

“why didn’t you tell me this earlier? next time you're gonna cook breakfast or dinner, and i’m gonna be the sous chef.” she said, biting and chewing on another nibble. 

little did y/n and gun-woo know that the night brings something new. something harsh and cruel. something they didn’t count on. 

[ 𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄𝐒𝐊𝐈𝐏 ]

night again, stalking yang jae-myeong and his gang again. y/n’s thoughts ticked around the fact that yang jae-myeong knew that someone was following him –so what if they prepared something for them? gun-woo sat beside her, and if he didn’t hear the cogs ticking in her brain, he could clearly see that she was deep in her thoughts. 

“what’s the matter, y/n?” he asked, making her sigh, shaking her head. 

“yeah, it’s just… the whole thing. i hope everything will be fine.”

“don’t worry, y/n, if we get into trouble, we’ll kick, punch and fight ourselves out of the situation!” woo-jin leaned back, grinning, sitting on the passenger seat beside hyeon-ju. y/n smiled a little, gun-woo touched her hand. 

“everything will be alright. we go down there, we stalk and then hyeon-ju picks us up.” 

“yeah, sure.” y/n gulped, accepting gun-woo’s hand as they got out of the car. walking down on the stairs to the subway, y/n adjusted the mask on her face. she couldn’t even get a deep breath in this crappy mask, she’ll rip it down from her face as soon as the pandemic is over. 

but really, y/n’s hunches were real. she got more and more worried at every step, but she couldn’t tell the two guys to go home and end the mission before it could even get started. gun-woo peeked out from behind the wall, but he withdrew as soon as he could. 

“come on out!” y/n looked at woo-jin. this was enough for her to complete the information that they were fucked. even a hundred bad men waited for them down there, or they would come. or worse. woo-jin looked at y/n, signing her something she couldn’t understand, but from the last hand movements, she could read that ‘stay behind’. “i know you’re there, so hurry up and show yourselves, fuckers! come out, you son of a bitch! are you playing hide and seek? motherfuckers…” gun-woo and woo-jin stepped out from behind the wall. “you bitch, come too! you think i didn’t see you yesterday? yes, behind the wall! do you think i’ll spare these guys if you are here? don’t get your hopes high!” 

despite woo-jin’s stare, y/n sighed and followed the two before her. she knew that it’s gonna be a hard night. at first she heard footsteps from above them, and she thought that someone was just passing on the streets, but as soon as she heard some metal clinking to the barriers, she closed her eyes, sighing. she felt in danger, and felt really anxious. those were metal bats, and she saw them enough times when she was little. one brother of her friends’ was beaten up by it, and the bruises were there for weeks, even. she lost count of the boots that were stepping down to them, and thought about chances. sure, she could bear some beats if it were two or three of them, but smile capital surely didn’t send only two or three men. should she message doo-young or yang-jung? but he had a pregnant wife at home… but y/n was in life danger… but she could be in life danger too, pregnancy is dangerous… yang-jung was probably doing something by not calling her all day, but… maybe he would come and rescue them? the more worry she thought about, the less time she got for seeking help. it’s useless anyway, y/n thought as she forced herself to forget her phone. looking at gun-woo, he stepped beside her as the soldiers surrounded them. 

“don’t worry, y/n, i’ll protect you.” gun-woo said, but y/n shook her head, putting up a fighting position. it was cute from him, and she appreciated it, but all those years’ exercises can’t go to the garbage, not now. 

“you don’t need to, you look out for yourself, and i look out for myself. they’re overpowering, and if we don’t look out, it can turn really serious.” at the end, she nearly had to shout because of the noises that got louder and louder. black uniformed men were everywhere, bats in their hands, while they had only their fists. y/n took off her mask, revealing her face and hair, but at the same time, she grit her teeth like a tiger before attacking its prey. 

they wanted to fight, they’re gonna get it. and we will punch, kick and fight out ourselves from any situation they got into, aren't we, woo-jin? 

breathing in and out, y/n clenched her fists, looking for the weak points on their body. it’s gonna be alright. she will get hurt, that’s sure, but she will survive. it’s only just a few scratches. like she survived the death of her family. just a few scratches. 

the fight was cruel. not because it was difficult –those men could only beat with their bats, she could lean or jump out of the way, but there were many, many soldiers. not to mention that her body was aching everywhere, not with sharp ache, but with dull, neverending ache. it was tiring, after beating one man down just to protect herself from another one, y/n prayed. please, be this the last one. or this. or this. she tried to look for gun-woo and woo-jin, but in the big ocean of black coats and metal bats, it was difficult to spot them, and she needed to look out for the incoming punches. but then, she noticed that someone was there too. someone new. taking down men from one by one. 

it was hyeon-ju. 

y/n striked back at the last man that seemed to attack her, rushing to hyeon-ju’s rescue. she had one man on her, shielding herself with him as others were trying to beat down on her own body. 

“girl, we needed you!” y/n yelled, knocking down one man with a bat she found on the ground, and she didn’t throw it away. if you throw away the weapon that saved your life once, you are dead, her father used to say this. so now, this metal bat was her patron saint. gun-woo and woo-jin came too, so they could take down the last few men. when it was over, y/n didn’t want to believe it. how long did they spend down here? hours? half an hour? to her, it seemed like all day long. she could think about seeking information from any man, but before she could move, gun-woo came into her eyesight, grabbing the sides of her face.

“are you alright, y/n?” he was breathing heavily, too. y/n nodded her head. 

“yeah, yeah, i’m fine.” 

“let’s go back”, woo-jin said, as they all hurried up the stairs. y/n ran as fast as she could despite her injuries, she never wanted to go down there, ever. 

hopping into the car, y/n’s all body ached. her neck, her shoulders, her spine, her waist, her legs… she didn’t got many bruise on her face, although the edge of her eyebrows got a scratch, and her lip was swollen, but all the other bruises waited her in the bathroom, were she and gun-woo went after getting to the bookstore. 

“could you please look at my back? it really hurts.” y/n whined as she tried to pull down her sweater. gun-woo grabbed her arms softly, making her look at him. 

“i’ll help you.” he said, and with cooperation, her top was peeled down. she heard gun-woo hiss,

“what? is it that bad?” she asked, a little bit scared. she can’t go to work like this. 

“you’ll need a cream for this. and maybe a bandage.” he lightly touched it, making her back shiver and sprouting goosebumps on her skin. 

“fuck…” y/n muttered, as she saw that her arms and chest was swollen too. purple, red, green, yellow… how could some of her bruises get green and yellow this soon? it will hurt, it will really hurt tomorrow. 

“don’t worry, we have some at home.” gun-woo tried to ease her worries. as y/n looked at him, his face was bleeding. how could she not notice it after the fight?

“wait, gun-woo. you have blood on your face”, she said as she got a towel under warm water from the tap. brushing away his hair, y/n tried to be as careful as possible, and when his face was clean, she accidentally touched the band aid, trying to bring down her hand. “i’m sorry… did they hurt it?” 

“no. do you… wanna see?” his voice was low and quiet. 

y/n shook her head, stroking it lightly. they were so close, they could easily kiss. not to mention that not only gun-woo’s face, but his body was also desirable, she wanted to stroke it all night as he slept, to ease the pain, and maybe to raise some desire in him. would it be evil? sure. but would it be wonderful? also sure. 

“no, not if you don’t want to show me.” 

she leaned closer, and gun-woo wasn’t pushing her away, or turning away. do you… want this as much as i want this? y/n could swore that this kiss could cure all her pain. she could already feel the soft lips on hers, just from looking at them, and the strong arms wrapping around her. as she turned her head, she was ready to embrace the feeling of their love, the relief of survival, and all his longing…

but then, his phone buzzed.

Sins of the Flesh Update Trailer Dissection!

(plus some other stuff that wasn't shown in the trailer!)

At long last, the long awaited trailer & release date reveal for the newest Cult of the Lamb update's out! Storywise, there's not much to go off of from the trailer, but hey a bunch of new stuff to do in the new update!

Right out of the gate we see one of the main selling points of the update in a short animated segment of the vid: SEX. It's here we see the mating tent, where followers can do their thing and create an egg (just like I predicted! the xmas art for CotL was a teaser for the mating feature!). In order to use the mating tent, a new mechanic is introduced where followers have to have a high enough level of love for each other in order to use the tent. Once they do, you can have them make out with each other in the tent and as soon as they finish their love making session they'll come out of the tent with an egg, which you can either A) harvest for food or B) keep the egg in tact to have A BABY FOLLOWER!!! YESSS!!! I REALLY WANTED THIS TO BE IN THE UPDATE SO FUCK YEA!!! It's unclear if we ourselves can use the mating tent, but we'll find out eventually.

New follower attire (previously revealed alongside the announcement that booze would be added to the game)

We're re-introduced to a new weapon: the gun (previously revealed to us a few weeks before xmas) and get some footage of it in action.

A new follower interaction is shown off where we can fight a follower during a crusade (sorta like how Shamura turned a follower on a player in the base game's story campaign). May or may not be connected to the update's new story if there is one, which might be the case.

It appears you can further upgrade your meetinghouse/church/whatever you call it in this update. Perhaps even customize it? Seems like that in the trailer.

A re-introduction to the ability to serve booze to followers (also previously revealed to us before xmas)

New rituals ahoy! The one in the trailer where the followers are going ape shit is called the Rite of Wrath, where followers will go ahead and unleash the purge in your cult grounds by going around killing and fighting each other, vanalizing the cult grounds, and more. There's another one in the trailer that might have to do with more casual canabalizim in this game (instead a follower's presumably being eaten alive in this instance). And another ritual is going to be added into the update which is called the Rite of Lust, where your followers dance around a shrine in the Lamb's image naked. There's more rituals being added into the game but those are just a few.

A possibility of gaining more hearts??

Follower Sozo. That's all I gotta say here.

And that's everything that got revealed in the trailer. There's still a few more things that the trailer didn't show, which I'll talk about now:

New minigame ahoy! By using the new drum circle, you can now play a new rhythm game-based minigame!

A new food source (which remains unnamed; possibly due to lore significance?)

The new rituals may or may not have a tie with another new game mechanic called Sin. As of now it's unknown why we need to generate Sin in this update, but if I had to guess it has to do with the story of the new update.

There was other stuff revealed outside the trailer but those just had someting to do with something shown in the trailer (how the mating tent works and the Rite of Lust). We still dunno about why the crown turns into a snake-lookin' thing and we dunno why followers can turn on us in this update but hey at least we're getting the update soon! Then we can figure all of this stuff out for ourselves.

Sins of the Flesh will release January 16th!

Yeah, well. So did they. 

Pretty much. 

It wasn’t a monkey. I thought you went to school. 

No-one knows for sure, but… best guess… Cordyceps mutated. And some of it got into the food supply. Probably a basic ingredient like flour or sugar. There were certain brands of food that were sold everywhere, all across the country, across the world. Bread, cereal… pancake mix. You eat enough of it, it’ll get ya infected. So the tainted food all hits the store shelves around the same time Thursday. People brought it, ate some Thursday night, or Friday mornin'. Day goes on… they started to get sick. Afternoon, evening, they got worse. Then they started bitin’.  Friday night, September 26, 2003. And by Monday, everything was gone. 

Sure. 

We’ll cut across the woods here. 

Yeah, it’s just… There’s stuff up there you shouldn’t see. 

I don’t want you to. 

I’m serious. Ellie.

No. 

About a week after Outbreak Day, soldiers… went through the countryside, evacuated the small towns. Told you you were going to a QZ, and you were… if there was room. If there wasn’t… 

No, probably not. 

Dead people can’t be infected.

I understand. If my, uh… if mine… brought strangers into our situation, I wouldn’t be happy either. But of all the people he could’ve found on the radio, we’re actually decent people just tryin’ to get by. 

There’s stuff we have in the QZ that you don’t have here. Book, medicine, machine parts. We can help each other and get that gun outta my face. 

So, what, you were a… prepper or somethin’?

That fence has got a year on it, tops. Galvanised wire already started to corrode. I can get you ten spools of high-tensile aluminium. Last you the rest of your life. Lives. 

FEDRA’s never gonna come up here. And you’re well protected against stray infected. But sooner or later, they’ll be raiders. And they’ll beat that fence and your trip wires. They’ll come at night, quiet and armed.

PROMPTS FROM PURE HEROINE BY LORDE *  assorted lyrics from the 2013 album, adjust as necessary

don't you think that it's boring how people talk?

you've been drinking like the world was gonna end.

well... i'm bored.

you're my best friend, and we're dancing in a world alone.

let me count the bruises.

we can make it so divine.

my friends and i? we've cracked the code.

it's clear that someone's gotta go.

i'm doing this for the thrill of it.

one day the blood won't flow so gladly.

i know they'll never own me.

i guess you're lucky that it's dark now.

baby, be the class clown.

what does that make me?

i've never felt more alone.

we're coming for blood.

i like your reckoning.

wait 'til you're announced.

everyone who knows us knows that we're fine with this.

it's a new art form.

live is great without a care.

glory and gore go hand in hand.

we're so happy, even when we're smiling out of fear.

let's go down to the tennis court.

we didn't come from money.

send the call out.

i won't be smiling.

pretty soon i'll be getting on my first plane.

you're the only friend i need.

i'm the one you tell your fears to.

how can i fuck with the fun again when i'm known?

everything's cool when we're all in line for the throne.

you can watch from your window.

we're never done with killing time.

i feel grown up with you in the car.

people should see how we're living.

hey, it's all cool.

can i kill it with you?

everything works out so good.

that's why we're making headlines.

i'm biting my tongue.

we come around here all the time.

we're bigger than we ever dreamed.

today is my birthday and i'm riding high.

they're in their finery.

god knows we like archaic kinds of fun.

people are talking.

we're all the things that we do for fun.

we might be hollow, but we're brave.

i love these roads where the houses don't change.

i'm glad that we stopped kissing.

i'd like it if you stayed.

that will never be enough.

chance is the only game i play with.

we're getting good at this.

nothing's wrong when nothing's true.

i can tell that you're tired.

i guess we're really fighting ourselves.

you haven't stopped smoking all night.

and i like you.

i'm not proud of my address.

we aren't caught up in your love affair.

we'll never be royals.

they don't dance and tell.

i'll never go home again.

my mom and dad let me stay home.

that kind of lux just ain't for us.

we crave a different kind of buzz.

you know, we're on each other's team.

now bring my boys in.

let me be your ruler.

in all chaos, there is calculation.

everything feels right.

it wasn't my fault.

let me live that fantasy.

it drives you crazy getting old.

we live in cities you'll never see on screen.

sometimes this has a hot, sweet taste.

all work and no play never made me lose it.

[apocalypticavolition]

Let's (re)Read The Great Hunt! Chapter 47: The Grave Is No Bar to My Call

I have absolutely no idea how the game is played but it feels to me like this particular card is nowhere near as good as the real thing. They always gotta "balance" shit for the games. Very annoying. I never balance my posts; I just stuff them full as many spoilers for the whole Wheel of Time series as possible and hope for the best. It hasn't failed me yet!

We get the exciting Horn of Valere icon this chapter because it is about to be blown.

He had the Horn of Valere lashed to the high pommel of his saddle as if it were just any horn, but the dagger was in his belt, the ruby-tipped hilt cupped protectively in a pale hand that seemed made of nothing but bone and sinew.

One half-wonders if the only reason Mat could be a horn-sounder at this point is that the dagger had all of his glory-related thoughts under wraps.

“We will all take the Horn to Verin, and then you can help her take it wherever she says it belongs.”

Rand's early oscillating between "I can't trust any Aes Sedai ever, I will not be used" and "Let's do whatever they say so I don't have to make a plan" is great.

Death is lighter than a feather, duty heavier than a mountain. So many duties. Egwene. The Horn. Fain. Mat and his dagger. Why can’t there just be one at a time? I have to take care of all of them.

It's rather funny that Rand will spend the whole series trying to avoid the solution he's automatically gone to here: off-load the less urgent responsibilities onto Mat and Perrin.

“That’s all very well, but what about you? Burn me, you can’t be going mad yet. You can’t!” Hurin gaped at them, not understanding half of it.

Mat's denial is very sweet and boy do I hope the narration is wrong about Hurin not getting it by now. Did he get a head injury no one noticed?

Rand shook his head. Threads. Duties. He felt as if he were about to explode like a firework. Light, what’s happening to me?

Rand, you're buckling under the stress of not communicating with everyone. Get ready because this is going to define your day to day life for the next eleven books.

“Saving Egwene isn’t wasting time!” But Mat’s hand had tightened on the dagger till it shook.

Mat's still a nice guy despite the corruption. I really don't get the people who want to say that his early book characterization veers all over the place: it's definitely true that not seeing his thought processes makes him harder to understand at this point. And of course the dagger was fucking him up last book. But this book's outside glimpses of Mat don't seem qualitatively different than what we get in later books, except of course that Mat hasn't had all his character development and power-ups yet.

“Lord Rand,” Hurin muttered, “if that lot lays an eye on the Horn of Valere, we’ll never get it close to an Aes Sedai. We’ll never get close to it again ourselves.”

Frankly Hurin, I doubt your heads will ever get close to your necks again if the Whitecloaks hear you have the Horn.

Have to go back. Have to go back. The longer he looked at the Horn, the more urgent his thoughts became. Have to. Have to.

I guess everyone's getting focused on salvation just being near the Horn as it's about to be blown correctly.

His last thought was regret. Byar would not be able to tell his son Dain how he had died.

Rest in... something, Mr. Bornhald. You sure were an almost reasonable human being. Sucks you couldn't stick around to benefit from Galad's leadership. Better luck next life!

Rand could not see the trees around them any longer. Mat had lowered the Horn, eyes wide with awe, but the sound of it still rang in Rand’s ears. The fog hid everything in rolling waves as white as the finest bleached wool, yet Rand could see. He could see, but it was mad. Falme floated somewhere beneath him, its landward border black with the Seanchan ranks, lightning ripping its streets.

I wonder if the intent was for this levitation to be a feature of the Horn. I do not recall Olver floating off in the Last Battle, though if he had it would have been quite a sequence and a good way to catch up with everything, considering that Rand can somehow see Bayle Domon's face from this distance. Certainly without the Horn's doing this whole sequence seems rather more miraculous than the series usually is.

Golden-haired Birgitte, with her gleaming silver bow and quiver bristling with silver arrows.

Hi Birgitte! Look forward to getting to know you better later!

They were little more than a hundred, Rand saw, and realized that somehow he had known that they would be.

I'm going to guess that there's about 106 of them, less Lews Therin and Noal. It seems like the kind of number Robert Jordan would want.

To his surprise, several of the small host behind Artur Hawkwing chuckled, and Birgitte, testing her bowstring, laughed. “You always choose women who cause you trouble, Lews Therin.” It had a fond sound, as between old friends.

Oh Birgitte just you fucking wait.

“My name is Rand al’Thor,” he snapped. “You have to hurry. There isn’t much time.”

Naturally, Rand's not fond of his deadname.

Hurin is meanwhile standing off to the side, probably somehow oblivious to what Rand being called Lews Therin means.

“You are here. The banner is here. The weave of this moment is set. We have come to the Horn, but we must follow the banner. And the Dragon.”

Speaking of being oblivious, I'm impressed with the whole of the fandom that we never noticed that the rules for hornsounding were set right here.

Perrin hesitated only an instant before swinging down off his horse and striding into the mist. There came a chopping sound, and when he returned, he carried a straight length of sapling shorn of its branches.

I guess they haven't gone floating away just yet, no matter what the Horn fog is doing? We're rapidly approaching one of those weird metaphysical sequences.

It seemed as if no time at all had passed since the Horn was first blown, as though time had paused while the heroes answered the call and now resumed counting.

That's a pretty nifty feature too. I guess Hero threads get priority when it comes to the weaving.

In a way, he could still see them, but now it was the way he could see Falme, and the Seanchan. He could not tell where they were, or where he was. He tightened his grip on his sword, peered into the mists ahead. He charged alone through the fog, and somehow he knew that was how it was meant to be.

Perhaps also they're sort of in T'A'R too? The Horn blurs the line between the two realities so that the Heroes, permitted access to one realm, might reach another? That would help explain Ba'alzy and all the floating.

Rand was aware of the other things, too.

His far-reaching sight foreshadows his actual conflict against the Dark One where from within Shayol Ghul he can still see the whole of the battle.

“Fool! Did those other fools you summoned not tell you who you are?” The fires of Ba’alzamon’s face roared with laughter.

Ish tries to distract Rand from his real lies (that Rand is his one way or another) by highlighting the truth Rand finds inconvenient, to make all of his statements seem more plausible. It's a good tactic!

Rand was so surprised he felt it inside the void. He doesn’t know everything. He doesn’t know! He was sure it must show on his face. To cover it, he rushed at Ba’alzamon.

Of course, the problem with Ishamael's techniques is that as effective as they are on ignorant country types, once the spell is broken there's literally no way to get it back. The only reason Rand insists on Ish being the Dark One from this point forward is the convenience it offers him, letting him avoid acknowledging his fate.

This time it was he who was driven back. Dimly, he saw the Seanchan fighting their way back in among the stables. He redoubled his efforts. The Kingfisher Takes a Silverback. The Seanchan gave way to a charge, Artur Hawkwing and Perrin side by side in the van.

The explicit connection between the specific struggle above and the general battle below is a nice touch. I'd comment more on the sword forms but... Effort. Most of these suggest vertical arcs to me, though of some different shape.

I have won again, Lews Therin. The thought was beyond the void, yet it took an effort to ignore it, not to think of all the lives where he had heard it.

The fact that the only compelling argument the Shadow has at this point stems directly from all the worlds that aren't speaks volumes to how pathetic an adversary it actually is.

For the first time Rand realized that Ba’alzamon acted as if the heron-mark blade could harm him. Steel can’t hurt the Dark One. But Ba’alzamon watched the sword warily.

Note that Rand can only acknowledge this under duress.

The picture formed of Egwene, collared, living her life as a damane. Threads of my life in danger. Egwene. If Hawkwing gets into Falme, he can save her. Before he knew it, he had taken the first position of Heron Wading in the Rushes, balanced on one foot, sword raised high, open and defenseless.

And again, Rand jumps entirely ahead of his character flaws. He hasn't really developed them yet, not fully. He also never comes to appreciate how it was this exact decision to trust in his allies being able to carry things out in the end is how he wins here - nor how it's the only way he gets to live after the overall war.

Rand screamed as he felt it pierce his side, burning like a white-hot poker. The void trembled, but he held on with the last of his strength, and drove the heron-mark blade into Ba’alzamon’s heart. Ba’alzamon screamed, and the dark behind him screamed. The world exploded in fire

Ish is so hilariously far from being a fighter, isn't he? He only does the damage he does and survives this blow through having stacked the deck so thoroughly. Poor Rand, though. From here on out things are only going to get tougher.

Next time: Ladies fight over Rand's body!

Chapter 2

Eddie munson x fem!reader

This is a repost since the old blog doesn't work anymore. 🥰

Chapter summary: they have one mission: find Eddie.

Chapter warnings: spoiler season 4, violence description.

"And then Vicki laughed. And it wasn't like a cheap, fake laugh either. It was like... it was a real genuine laugh." Robin tells us as Steve put some vhs on the shelfs and I hold some to help them. I don't work here, but I like to help instead of sitting at home doing nothing.

"Of course. It's my Muppet joke. It's hilarious" Steve says very proudly, and I roll my eyes.

"My point is that Vicki laughed and everything was just like...it was perfect" she keeps going with a dreamy voice.

She's so cute.

"But?" I ask, knowing something's up.

"But I'm having this problem where it's like, I should stop talking." She explains "I have said everything I need to say.but then I guess I get nervous and the words keep spilling out, and it's like my.. my brain is moving faster than my mouth, or rather my.. my mouth is moving faster than my brain. And it's like I'm digging this hole for myself, and I want to stop digging, I'm trying to stop, but I can't. And I'm doing it right now, aren't I?"

She finally turns around to look at us after her babbling.

"Yeah, you are" Steve says and I nod with a half smile.

She exhales deeply and move backwards to rest against the wall.

"I'm hopeless" she says.

Steve follows her against the wall. "We both are"

I roll my eyes at their pessimism.

"If only we could just, like, combine." Robin suddenly says, I look at her confused.

"Combine?" Steve's confused too.

"No. Think about it. I know exactly what I want, and I've found the girl of my dreams, but I can't get the courage to ask her out. Meanwhile, you go on, like, a million dates, and you have no idea what you want. So if we just combine, all our problems would be solved."

Steve lets out an understanding "Oohh"

"Because, I mean, alone let's face it..."

"We totally suck." Steve finishes for her.

"Totally and utterly"

"C'mon, you guys are the most amazing persons that I know... just have hope" I look at Steve "and some courage" I look at Robin "and everything will be fine"

"Oh yeah?" Steve sends me a very sceptical look.

"Ooh, I think I found our morning movie" Robin gasps, running to a shelf and grabbing a vhs. "Doctor Zhivago"

"Ugh, you know I don't do double vhs" Steve groans shaking his hands in the air.

"But it's about doomed love" she tries.

"That's relatable" Steve agrees, and we both follow Robing behind the counter.

"Exactly. Also Julie Christie is b-b-bonkers hot in this. Like seriously the most beautiful creature I've ever seen in my life" she turn the TV on.

"I gotta agree on that" I declare.

"We're in the Forest Hills trailer park on East Roane County." The reporter's voice says loud and clear "we don't have a lot of details now, but we can confirm that the body kd a Hawkins High student was discovered early this morning. Police have not released the name although we are told they're currently in the process of notifying the family"

Oh shit.. as if alternate dimensions creature's weren't enough.

"Holy shit" Steve whispers beside me.

"Who could that be?" I ask worried.

"I don't know.." Robin replies.

"Isn't it where Max lives?" I ask again looking at them.

They just nods.

Oh shit.

We spent the morning watching the news and organising the store to keep ourselves busy.

All of a sudden the door bell rings and Dustin and Max come in.

"Hey Steve" he says, he looks visibly agitated.

"You guys see this?" Steve asks them.

"How many phones do you have?" Dustin asks, completely ignoring Steve's question.

Robin and I share a confused look

"Someone was murdered"

"How many phones fo you have?" He repeats more firmly.

"Two. Why?" He answers

"Technically three if you count Keith's in the back" Robins specifies.

Max and Dustin look at each other.

"Yeah, thee works" Max says.

So Dustin take off his backpack as Steve asks "what are you doing?" And, again, ignoring his question Dustin throw the backpack on the other side of the counter and climbs on top of it to get through.

All this while earning very annoyed reactions from both Robin and Steve.

Ignoring both of them Dustin positions himself in fron of the computer.

"What are you doing?" Steve asks.

"Setting up base of operation here." He simply answers.

"Base of operation?" I ask. "Why?"

Steve tries to get Dustin off of the computer, but with no use.

"What do you need it for? Dustin?" I ask, getting more and more confused.

"Eddie's friends' phone numbers" he answers and I look at Steve.

"Oh Eddie, your new best friend who just is cooler because he plays your nerdy game?" Steve asks, sounding quite jealous, I gotta say.

"I never said that" Dustin defends himself from Steve's accusatory tone.

"Seriously, you guys, maybe know a Monday you can play around like toddlers, but it's Saturday. It's our busiest day" Robin tells them, putting the tapes back on the counter.

"Robin, look, I empathise, but this cannot wait until Monday" Dustin firmly says.

"Calling Eddie's friends is an emergency?" She asks back.

"Correct" Dustin shouts, like that was the most obvious thing.

"Why? What happened?" I ask, now getting more worried. "Did something happen to Eddie?... Dustin?"

"Can you just fill them in while I do this?" Dustin asks Max.

"Fill us in on what?" Robin is definitely annoyed.

We all look at Max waiting for her to explain what happened.

We found ourselves calling so many different numbers, trying to find a lead to where Eddie might've gone.

I type down the numbers while Robin, Max and Dustin call them, and Steve flirts with every girls he can, pretending he's just working.

"Hey, guys. I might have a lead" Max calls pur attention.

"Seriously?" Dustin turns to her, hopefully.

"Yeah, apparently, Eddie gets his drugs from come guy names Reefer Rick, and sometimes Eddie crashes there." She explains.

"That's promising" I comment.

"Where does this Reefer Rick live?" Robin asks.

"See that's the thing. No one knows. He's more of a.. a legend than someone that people actually know." Max explains.

"And.. what about a last name?" I ask.

"I don't know that either" She answers.

"Less promising" I shake my head.

"Bet the cops knows the last name" Steve intervenes.

We turn all to him.

"What?"

"Cops. I mean listen if this Reefer Rick is actually a drug dealer, I guarantee you he's been busted at some point. Means he's in the system" he explains like he found the perfect solution to all our problems.

"The cops? Really, Steve? That's your suggestion?" Dustin asks incredulous.

"I mean, I just think they should be filled on on what we know, what's going on" he says simply.

"You think Eddie's guilty, don't you?" Dustin accuses.

"Whoa. I believe in innocent until proven guilty, all that constitutional shit." Steve defends himself " I just, you know, don't think that we can rule it out"

"That's precisely what we're trying to do here, Steve." Max says annoyed.

"And maybe we'd have a little bit more luck if you spent less time trying to find a girlfriend and more time trying to find Eddie"

"He' not wrong here, Stevie" I agree with Dustin.

"Oh well somebody has to attend to the customers" Steve says, again, to defend himself, and I roll my eyes scoffing.

"Especially if they're babes, right?" Robin teases with a wink.

"Hey, not fair, okay?" Steve points his finger st her "I attend to all customers equally, babes and non-babes alike. We've got a very big selection in here. It can be super overwhelming for people"

"Yeah it can be" Robin says, I can tell she thought something to actually help us so I quickly follow her to the computer.

"What are you doing?" Max asks.

"Maybe we don't need a last name" she answers.

She type on the keyboard, Rick's name and a list of Ricks appears on the screen.

"Twelve Ricks have accounts here" she tells us.

"That's a lots of Ricks" Max comments.

"You're a genius, Robin" I tell her.

"I know. Now, let's narrow it down, uh? Rick Alderman's latest rentals are Annie and Dumbo...what are the chances our drug dealer has a family?" She asks.

"Not likely"

"All right, Rick Conroy. Sixteen candles, Teen Wolf, Romancing the stone." She move to the next Rick.

"No"

"Okay, Rick Joiner, Mask, Footloose, and Grease"

"Nah"

"Rick Kimbrough. The Blue Lagoon, and Splash."

"Definitely no"

"Okay. Rick Lipton. Fast Times at Ridgermont High, Cheech & Chong's next movie. Cheech & Chong's nice dreams. Cheech & Chong' up in smoke."

"Bingo" Dustin chuckles.

"Lipton?"

"Spelled like the tea. 2131 Holland Road" Robin reads.

"That's out by Lovers Lake" Dustin says.

"Middle of nowhere" I comment.

"It's a perfect place to hide" Robin agrees.

That being said we all head out to Steve's car and to this Reefer Rick's house.

And hopefully to Eddie.

We all grab a torch each and get out of the car to walk to this Reefer Rick's house.

The lights are out, which could mean that no one's home or... Eddie's hiding.

Dustin repeatedly tries to ring the bell, but to no use.

"Okay. Well, that's settled. I guess he's not here." Steve says, trying to make Dustin stop.

But Dustin just start to shout for Eddie to come out and tries again with the door bell.

Me and Max move to the side of the house with our torch, seeing what looks like a boathouse. Maybe Eddie's in there.

"Hey guys!" Max calls.

"Well let's go" I say already walking towards the small building.

Robin is the first one to enter.

"Hello? Is anyone home?" She tries.

We all enter and start to look around.

"What a dump" Steve comments

The place is far from clean, there garbage everywhere and, as expected, a boat in the middle filled with something covered by a tarp.

I spot Steve grabbing an oar as a weapon and starts to poke the boat multiple times.

"What are you doing?" Dustin asks.

Steve just doesn't answer so Dustin repeats the question, more shocked.

"He might be in here." Steve simply replies.

"So take the tarp off." Dustin tells him.

"If you're so brave, you take the tarp off" he basically challenges.

"Stop bickering, you two." I say.

Steve just keeps hitting on top of the tarp covered boat.

"Hey, look over here" Max tells us. She points our attention to some food envelopes.

"Someone was here." I try.

"Maybe he heard us. Got spooked and ran" Robin suggests.

"Don't worry. Steve will get him with his oar" Dustin says sarcastically.

"Oh I know you think you're being funny, Henderson, but considering everyone in this room has nearly died about a hundred times, personally, I don't find it funny in the slight-"

Steve is cut off by a loud scream and Eddie jumping from under the tarp and pushing him against the wall, a broken bottle in his hand.

We all gather as close as possible, trying to not scare him further for Eddie to react too badly.

"Whoa whoa whoa Eddie! Eddie! Stop!" Dustin says, holding his arms out to stop us from getting further closer.

Eddie turns to look at Dustin, not moving the broken glass away from Steve's neck yet.

"It's me. It's Dustin" Dustin tries to stay calm while getting Eddie's attention. "This is Steve. He's not going to hurt you, right, Steve?"

"Right, yeah" Steve agrees, quite agitated.

"Steve, c'mon.. drop the oar, will you?" I say, as calmly as possible.

Steve does as I say, dropping the oar away, but that just startles Eddie more pointing the glass back at Steve's neck.

"He's cool, he's cool" Dustin says.

"What are you doing here?" Eddie says, voice breaking.

"We're looking for you" Dustin replies

"We're here to help, Eddie" I add.

Eddie turns his head again to us, listening carefully.

"Eddie, these are my friends. You know Robin, from band. This is my friend Max. The one who never wants to play D&D. You know Y/n too. The quiet girl you always stare at, at lunch. Eddie. We're on your side. I swear on my mother. Right guys?"

"Yeah yeah we swear"

"Yeah on Dustin's mother"

"Yeah, Dustin's.. mother"

We say no more, tense as never before, but at the end Eddie lets Steve go and moves to the side sitting down.

Steve just come to us, I check his neck in case the broken bottle accidentally cut him but he's fine.

I turn to look at Eddie, Dustin kneels in front of him and I slowly follow.

He looks... terrified.

"Eddie...we just want to talk" Dustin very slowly tries to grab the bottle in Eddie's hand, but as soon as he gets to close he flinches grabbing the glass harder.

"Eddie... we just wanna know what happened. " I tell him.

"You won't believe me" he tells us.

"Try us" Max says.

Eddie told us everything that happened, about Chrissy coming to him to buy drugs, and how she died, right in front of him.

"Her body just lifted up into the air and.. and she just like, hung there. In the air. And her bones.. she.. her bones starter to snap"

He struggling to tell us what happened, all I want to do is grabbing his hand and reassure him...

"Her eyes, man" he continues "it was like.. there was something, inside her head, pulling. I.. I didn't know what to do so.. I.. I ran away. I left her there." He sounds so ashamed... he couldn't do anything for her.

Poor girl, she was really one of the sweetest person in Hawkins.

Fuck.

Eddie looks up to us, only to turn his head away quickly, scoffing.

"You all think I'm crazy right?"

"No. We don't think you're crazy" Dustin tries to reassure him.

"Don't bullshit me, man! I know how this sounds" Eddie snaps.

"We're not bullshiting you" Max intervenes.

"We believe you" Robin says and Eddie just scoffs, still not believing us.

"Look, what I'm about to tell you might be a little.. difficult to take." Dustin starts "you know how people say Hawkins is...cursed? They're not way off. There's another world.a words hidden beneath Hawkins. Sometimes it bleeds into ours." Dustin explains.

"Like ghosts and shit?" Eddie asks.

"There are... there are some things worst than ghosts" I tell him.

"These monsters from this other world, we thought they were gone. But they've come back before. That's why we needed to find you."

"If they're back again, we need to know" Max says.

"That night, did you see anything?" Robin asks.

"Dark particles, maybe"

Eddie just shakes his head no.

"It would almost look like dust, swirling dust." Dustin specifies.

"No, man, there was nothing you could see or.. touch" Eddie explains.

I look at Steve who, now, looks more worried than before, full attention on Eddie.

"You know, I tried to wake her, man. She couldn't move. It was like she.. she was in a trance or something." Eddie explains and we all listen carefully.

"Or under a spell" Dustin points out.

"A curse."

"Vecna's curse" Dustin realises.

"Who's Vecna?" Steve asks

"And undead creature of great power" Dustin answers.

"A spell caster" I say, earning a confused look from Steve.

"A dark Wizard" Dustin finishes.

This might be worse than all the ones before...

Fuck.

We decided we have to go and get some food for Eddie.

"We'll be right back, man, I promise" Dustin says.

As we all walk to the door.

Steve and Dustin turn to me stopping me in my tracks.

"Why don't you... uh... stay here and keep him company?" Dustin asks.

"What? Why me?" Now I'm confused.

"Because you're the sweetest and he clearly has a thing for you" Steve replies as the most simple thing ever.

"He does not" I tell him sternly.

"Either way you're the best choice. You're calmer and... easier to be around than the rest of us" Steve convinces me.

"Y/n, trust me. He needs someone like you now. Please, I don't think he should be alone now" Dustin says looking me in the eyes.

"Fine" I tell him nodding "yeah, I'll stay with him. But you better stay out of trouble"

"As always" Steve shrugs.

I give him a warning look and just sigh. Watching them driving away.

I get back to the boathouse and see Eddie's figure watching nothing on the boat.

"Hey" I say quietly.

He seems to snap out of trance and looks at me surprised.

"I thought you all went" he says, with a small smile.

"Yeah well... we didn't.. uh... Dustin didn't want you to be alone right now" I tell him, fidgeting with my rings again.

"Thanks.. I guess he's right" he says.

I nod, walking a bit closer, but not too much.

"So..." he starts.

"So..." I mimic him, earning a laugh from him.

"You knew about the spell caster" he implies.

"Yeah... a-and?"

"You know about D&D..?" He asks.

"Yeah.." I say nervously.

"No way!" He whisper shouts.

"It's true!" I tell him, with a small chuckle.

"How come didn't you join Hellfire?" He asks, genuinely curious.

"I.. well.. I just..." I stutter.

"Hey.. I'm not judging, m'lady" he assures me, with a smile.

"I'm just too shy, I think.. also I'm not very good at playing" I laugh quietly.

"I could've taught you" he says.

"I... I'm not very good with people" I honestly tell him.

"What do you mean?"

"I.. I'm not very good at talking to people, I get nervous and stutter the whole time. And just... I just shut up so I don't bother anyone" I explain.

"You're not stuttering with me" he shrugs.

"I.." I stops realising it's true.

With him it feels easier, somehow..

"No need to worry about a freak's opinion, i guess." he lower his eyes, almost disappointed.

"No! Not at all!" I quickly say.

He look at me, searching my eyes to see if I'm messing with him.

"I... listen, I don't understand why people always call you that, but I personally always saw you as someone... cool" I say, getting shy as I finish my sentence.

"Really?" He says, he tries to hold back a smile, but he fails.

"Yeah.." I look away from him. "You always walk around like you don't care about anything. You have your ideas and you're not ashamed, and of course you shouldn't be ashamed of them. You're like smarter than any of those dickheads from the basketball team"

"Wow" he blushes... he blushes?

Did I make Eddie Munson blush?

"Are you blushing, my lord?" I gather some courage and make a joke.

"Oh... 'my lord' uh?" He looks at me with a smirk, that makes me instantly lower my eyes with my cheeks warming up.

"I.. yeah.. I mean, you keep calling me-"

"M'lady? Yeah, so I'd say 'my lord' fits perfectly" he sweetly smiles at me.

We stay silent for a while.

It's a comfortable silence, the kind you don't have to talk to fill it. We just need each other company to be okay.

I watch him fidgeting with his own hands.

He's getting nervous.

Instinctively I reach out for his hands and he turns to me, surprised, but he doesn't retreat his hands.

"It's gonna be okay" I tell him. "I know it sounds like a shitty cliché.. trust me I know." I let out a small chuckle "we've been through this shit a few times.. the point is, we're with you on this. We're gonna solve this."

He holds my hands in his.

"I want to believe you" he says looking me in the eyes.

"Good" I say.

He starts to stroke my knuckles gently.

"I'm glad you're the one to stay here, m'lady" he says.

"Apparently I'm the easiest to be around" I tell him with a shrug.

He's still not letting go my hands.

"Maybe... but that's not the only reason, but yeah" he says, a playful smile on his face.

"Then... w-why?" I say, feeling my cheeks warming up again.

"Well.. that's an answer for another time, uh?" He winks and I'm just speechless.

All of a sudden we hear noises from outside.

I grab the oar Steve used earlier and move to the door.

"Stay there" I tell Eddie.

I get closer and closer to the door, that suddenly opens reveling Robin, Dustin, Max and Steve holding some bags full of food and drinks.

"Fuck sake!" I exclaim as they enter with apologetic looks.

"delivery service" Dustin announces.

I look at Eddie who look just as startled, heavy breathing and all that.

I just exhale deeply and grab one of the bags they carried inside.

New Fic: Mischief Managed: Marauders’ Mansion Mayhem

This is absolutely not what I was intending to write when I started this fic. This got away from me in about three paragraphs flat and turned into the most absurd thing I've ever written. I don't even know- enjoy, I guess?

It was entirely James’s fault.

Ever since Lily had installed that blasted television in their house for Harry, James had been practically glued to the screen. He watched everything from the Saturday morning infomercials, to the muggle sports games, the monotone documentaries about fish and polar bears, and, of course, the cartoons .

Which is exactly how Sirius, Remus, Peter, James and Lily all ended up crammed into Pete’s mom’s old Chevy Astro barreling towards some unnamed, unspecified ‘haunted’ location where James was determined they were all about to live out his ultimate Mystery Gang fantasy.

“I don’t even understand why we’re doing this,” Sirius complained for the hundredth time as he wildly missed Peter’s mouth with the M&M he was throwing. “We lived with ghosts for seven fucking years! And we’ve got a literal werewolf in our backseat!”

“Hm?” Remus hummed, only now looking up from the book he had been reading for the last 45 minutes.

“C’mon, Padfoot! Where’s your sense of adventure! Your sense of wanderlust! Your sense of mischief and-”

“Oh, please, James, not again,” Lily groaned, trying to uncrinkle the map that was too big to actually open inside the van. “I can’t hear this speech again, you’ve already got us in the car!”

“You do realize that most of the muggle so-called haunted places are just old, rundown buildings with creaky floors and drafty windows, right,” Remus said. “The Ministry wouldn’t actually let magical beings roam free to break the statute of secrecy.”

“Details, Moony, details. We’ll find something spooky, I promise! There’s gotta be some crusty old hack that just needs us to unmask them and stop their plot of eeeeeevil .”

Peter, who had been nervously scribbling away at his Sudoku book, finally spoke up. “I hope Remus is right. This whole idea gives me the creeps.”

“Shocker, there,” Sirius teased.

“You know I’ve been scarred ever since that one time the Bloody Baron came floating through the showers! You go through that and try not to have nightmares about it!”

“Everyone will be fine and we will have a great time and solve our mystery and have fun , understood,” James said, taking on that slightly disappointed dad tone he somehow seemed to have developed the moment Harry popped out.

“Ugh. Yes, dad,” they all chorused together.

“Which means no wands.”

“What,” Sirius squawked.

James turned to face Sirius as much as he could while driving 70 on the highway, Lily leaning over quickly to help steady the wheel. “No wands, Sirius. We’re going in just like muggles- like Scooby and the gang. We’re going to rely on our wits and courage, not magic .

“You’re determined to kill me, I swear to god, Prongs.” James simply continued to give him the stern dad face. Sirius threw up his hands. “Fine, but if we end up leaving your son a lonely orphan because we’ve all gone and gotten ourselves killed by some creepy perv living in a drafty, creaky muggle mansion, I’m solely blaming you.”

“Is it ever tiring being so dramatic,” Lily laughed.

“Here, Pads,” Remus murmured, holding out a lightly smoking joint to him.

Lily turned around from the front again. “Seriously, Remus? Already?”

“Hey, do you want a happy Padfoot or a pouty Padfoot?”

The entire gang turned to look at Sirius who was already inadvertently pouting at the mere implication that he could be pouting.

“ Happy ,” they all said collectively.

“Go to hell, the lot of you,” he grumbled, but smiled softly at Remus. “Thanks, Moons.”

“‘Course, baby.” Leaning over, Remus took Sirius by the chin, letting him breathe in the smoke that he was exhaling into Sirius’s open mouth. The soft groan he let out was muffled by Remus’s lips as the pair quickly devolved into making out in the back seat.

“Oi,” Pete shouted. “You two! No fornicating in the van! Not again!”

Sirius rolled his eyes, dragging his lips away from Remus’s “I thought you didn’t want a pouting Padfoot, Wormy? Cockblocking me is a sure fire way to achieve maximum pouting!”

“James, love, I think you’ve taken a wrong turn,” Lily said, cutting over top of the other three’s bickering.

James simply grinned wider. “We’ve got one last stop before we head to our destination!”

“James, why are we at Reg’s dorms?”

At Remus’s words, Sirius' neck snapped around with an audible pop as he looked out the window for the first time in a while. And sure enough, standing out by the curb looking unnecessarily stoic, was Regulus Black. The Astro’s brakes squealed unnecessarily high as James pulled over and Peter flung the side door open.

“Nooooo,” Sirius whined loudly as he watched his little brother climb in. “You invited fucking Scrappy Doo ?!”

Not even fully seated yet, Regulus reached out to smack Sirius on the side of the head. “Shut the fuck up, I’m not Scrappy Doo!”

“You don’t even know what that means!”

“So! If it’s coming from you then I know it’s meant to be an insult.”

“It means you’re an annoying bitch , is what it means!”

“Boys,” Lily groaned. “So help me god I will drop the both of you off at the babysitter’s with Harry if you don’t shut the fuck up! You’re supposed to be mending relationships, remember?”

Regulus shifted to quickly latch his seatbelt at Lily’s tone. Peter held out a bag of Twizzlers to him, which he gratefully took, throwing a last glare over at Sirius. “Can we just get on with this… adventure? Whatever it’s supposed to be.”

“Wait,” Remus said. “James didn’t tell you what-”

James revved the decrepit engine then, a devilish gleam in his eye. “Gangs all here! Autobots, roll out!”

“I think that’s a different cartoon…” Peter mumbled with a shrug.

[kaimelia]

and maybe we won't feel so alone

"Good morning," Kai whispers as Amelia curls into their body and throws her arm across them. They weave their fingers into her hair from the base of her neck.

"Mm," she sighs, tucking her face into their neck. Their nails gently rake against her scalp.

"I have plans for us today." She lifts her head, stifling a yawn and meeting their eyes.

"I'm assuming you're not going to tell me what we're doing, are you?"

"Nope," they grin, tossing the comforter off their body and standing. "But, you may want to wear something you can move around in." Her eyes widen as she watches them trade their pajamas for proper clothes. "And layers. It'll be cold in the morning and again in the evening."

"Please tell me this isn't too physically intensive."

"I promise it's not," they hold their hand out to her and tug her out of bed, neatly tucking the comforter under the pillows after she gets up. "And, we're just getting breakfast first."

"Is there something going on that I don't know about?"

"What do you mean?"

"You have plans for us that aren't just laying in bed all day. That's not really something we do." They roll their eyes in amusement as she pulls a sweater over her t-shirt.

"I like fall. And, you've yet to explore most of this state or even this town, so I figured we could get out of this apartment for a day."

"Only if our breakfast place has incredible coffee," she grumbles, putting on a pair of leggings.

"Do you really think I would take you somewhere that didn't have decent coffee?"

-------------------

"Are you a regular here?" Amelia takes a sip of her coffee and sets it on the table.

"Not really. I honestly don't eat out much; I either order delivery or cook."

"How do you know the barista then?" Kai's face goes pink.

"Let's just say that there aren't that many queer people in this town," they laugh softly. "It was a one-night thing."

"Now I know how you feel walking down the halls of Grey-Sloan."

"I at least get to take pride in the fact that I'm taller than your exes," Kai winks and nudges her foot under the table.

-------------------

"We'll have to come back in the summer; they have amazing ice cream and a ton of people bring blankets and just set up on the lawn there," they wave toward a grass area. "We can rent a kayak or something and go down the water."

"I'll only agree to that because I trust your swimming skills enough to save me if we tip over." They stick their hands into the pockets of their sweatshirt and laugh.

"Are you a swimmer at all?"

"We lived near a lake when I was little, so I probably wouldn't drown, but I'm not the strongest swimmer."

"So, you would need to be saved in a moment of panic."

"Exactly." Amelia nudges them with her elbow. "I'm glad you know why I keep you around." They nudge her back.

"How about ice skating?"

"I went a few years ago and fell so many times that it hurt to sit down for a month," Amelia mutters. "Why? Were you a figure skater?"

"Do I seem like the type?" They widen their eyes and raise their eyebrows until she shakes her head. "Sometimes, I take a trip upstate in the winter with some friends. The lakes freeze over, and you can bundle up in sweaters while you skate around."

"Did you grow up around snow?"

"Only once during my childhood. When I went to college, I fell in love with snow and everything about the winter up north." They link their arm through hers. "You?"

"I grew up around it. I don't hate it, and I guess I like winter more than not."

"You don't even get real winter in Seattle," Kai shakes their head. "You've gotta spend a week up here in January. We can go to a cabin up north and bundle ourselves in blankets after we ice skate and make snow statues." 

"You've got this all planned out, huh?"

"I told you that I love winter."

-------------------

"Do you think we'd still be here if I had taken up your offer for dinner all those months ago?" Kai raises their eyebrows as they twirl pasta around their fork.

"I'd hope in some capacity, yeah. Things may have happened a bit sooner, but I don't think a singular dinner would've dramatically changed the course of our relationship." Amelia nods, taking a sip of water as she holds their gaze. "You think about that a lot?"

"I spent the entire plane ride that night wondering, and I barely got any sleep. I was honestly worried I had passed up my opportunity to go out with you."

"I'll be honest; part of me was a little worried you were just trying to let me down easy." Her head tilts to the side, and she pouts out her lip. "I mean, it was pretty obvious that there were feelings, but I didn't know if you were open to a relationship, let alone doing long-distance."

"Have you done long-distance before?" Kai sets down their fork and clasps their hands together.

"When I was in college, my first real relationship. She transferred schools after our first year. It was a four-hour drive, which doesn't feel like long distance now, but as a broke college student without a car, we were a world apart. And then, I moved to Minnesota and did long-distance with my partner at the time."

"How'd that go?"

"Well, I didn't date again until you came along, so I'll let you take a guess." They bite the inside of their cheek and shrug. "You?"

"Never," she shakes her head. "I was a little hesitant, but I figured we'd both be traveling back and forth for work enough that it wouldn't be unbearable."

"It's much easier when you're both adults and can write off flights as work expenses," they smirk. 

"And with facetime. I think it'd be much more difficult if I couldn't see you every day and just sit on the phone with you."

"You know what else phones are good for?" Amelia blushes as they wink at her.

"We're at a fancy restaurant. I don't think it's appropriate to start talking about phone sex," her eyes widen as she speaks.

"I was going to say texting, but if that's where your mind went," they murmur, and Amelia kicks them under the table.

"Yeah, I totally believe that's what you were going to say."

"I'm glad you understand me so well."

-------------------

"Could you grab that for me?" Amelia points, standing on her tiptoes and pointing at a book on the highest shelf. Kai grabs it, gently hitting it on the top of Amelia's head before handing it to her. She pouts and tucks it under her arm. "You realize that I'm average height, right? It's not like I'm obscenely short or something."

"You're obscenely shorter than me," they wrap their arms around her from behind, resting their chin on her head.

"I haven't taken the time to read a book in what feels like forever."

"I didn't for the longest time. Reading just felt like work for school, but I've found that it can be a good way to get out of my head." Their arms fall from her waist, one gently dragging across her back as they step away. "I could justify coming to the library or a bookstore more than sitting in my apartment alone forever. No one will really try to talk to you, but it feels social enough."

"Reminds me of being in school and camping out in the library all night." Kai crouches and pulls a book off the shelf. "Feels like sleep deprivation and stress." They nod in agreement and stand, flipping through the pages of the book in their hands.

"It's almost comforting, huh? We spend so much of our lives cramming our brains with knowledge, and then we get into the real world and become the ones who share that knowledge." Amelia bites her lip and hums.

"Very profound." Kai snorts softly, reaching over and linking their pinky through Amelia's.

"There's a couch back here," they gently pull at her finger. "It definitely feels more homey than my college library."

"Less fluorescent lighting definitely helps." She follows them as they flop back onto the couch. "Am I allowed to ask why we're here?" They shrug.

"I found a lot of comfort in this place. I wanna start sharing things like this with you. We spend so much time in bedrooms and labs, and sometimes I just want to hold your hand in public and explore." The corners of Amelia's lips turn upward, and she leans back into the cushion, watching as Kai opens their book. Her face softens as she sees them settle, their eyebrows furrowing gently as they scan their eyes over the page. She pulls her legs up onto the couch and opens to the first page of the book in her arms.

-------------------

"It's about 30 minutes away. And this is the last thing I have planned."

"Are you, Kai Bartley, taking me to watch the sunset?"

"Are you, Amelia Shepherd, going to tease me for trying to do something nice?" The brunette fastens her seatbelt and lolls her head to look at them.

"No, I love it. I can't remember the last time someone put this much effort into doing something romantic." They turn the radio on and place their hand on her thigh as quiet music fills the car. "Is this going to be a hike, though? Because I don't know if I have that much energy in me."

"It's not that far. We'll drive most of the way up, and then it's just a short walk from the car. And, if you really need, I can always carry you."

"I mean, if you're offering," she shrugs, lacing her fingers through theirs.

"If you do want to go hiking, though, let me know. I spent my first few months in Minnesota exploring every hiking trail within a two-hour drive of Rochester."

"You're into hiking?"

"A bit. It helped me clear my mind. Adjusting to a new state and home while going through the end of a relationship was a lot to handle."

"Why'd it end? If you don't mind me asking." She squeezes their hand.

"I gave her the option to come with me, to move in together and take things to the next level. She was going to and then decided she couldn't right before we were supposed to move. There was a month of her telling me it would happen, but it always fell through until she finally told me she didn't want things to get more serious." Kai exhales heavily as the car comes to a stop at the traffic light. "I think it was good for me in the long run. I took the time to learn how to be independent and figure out what I wanted with my career."

"But breakups still suck." Amelia puffs out her cheeks.

"They really do," Kai chuckles. "Promise me we won't do that?"

"You're not getting any argument from me." Her eyes close in relaxation as Kai softly sings along to the radio, drumming rhythms on Amelia's thigh with their fingers.

Before she knows it, they park the car and turn off the engine, turning to look at her in the light of the car. "You ready? We should make it just in time for the sunset."

"Yeah," she leans over the console and captures their bottom lip between hers.

"As much as I want to sit here and make out with you," they mutter, kissing her again, "let's get moving." She feigns a groan and steps out of the car, following them as they open the trunk. "It's gonna get a little cold, so here." They pull a hat onto her head and hand her gloves before grabbing their own hat. "Alright, ready?"

-------------------

"Here we are," Kai sighs, squeezing Amelia's hand as they tug her toward a bench. She sits beside them and leans her head on their shoulder, smiling as they lean against her. 

"You okay?" She asks after a while, running her thumb over the back of their hand. "Not that I mind the day's worth of events, but it's a bit out of the ordinary for our typical weekend activities."

"If I tell you something, can you promise not to get upset?" Amelia lifts her head from their shoulder and raises her eyebrows. 

"That's a very loaded question. I don't know if I can promise because if you're about to break up with me, I may get a little upset."

"Just a little?" They chuckle. "No, it's not that." They're silent for a moment as they look up at the sky and pull their legs to their chest. "It's my birthday."

"Today?" There's a layer of shock in her voice. Kai shrugs. "Why didn't you say anything?"

"Historically, my birthday has never been a good day for me. Everyone loves making a huge deal out of it, as if I'm the only person to have a birthday, and you know just how much I love attention. And, it normally means phone calls from family and birthday cards signed with 'you'll always be my little girl,' or something along those lines," they whisper, sighing gently as their chin rests on their knees. "Anyway, that's why I asked you to come out this weekend. I want to start making good memories on my birthday to replace all of the dread and fear that surround this day in my mind." Amelia purses her lips tightly before she scooches closer to them and wraps her arm around their body. 

"Did it work? Today, making good memories for this day?" 

"Yeah," they nod, letting out a shaky exhale as Amelia leans her head back onto their shoulder. "It's the first time I've actually put effort into making this a good day and being honest about things. I got to take the person who means the world to me to the places that mean a lot to me. But, I'm dreading going home and finding whatever mail's been delivered."

"Do you wanna head home and burn all the birthday cards waiting there?" Kai chuckles, wiping their nose with their sleeve as they sniffle. 

"That sounds wonderful," they smile, blinking away the last of the tears in their eyes. "Sorry, I'm usually not a crier."

"You're not allowed to apologize for crying when you sit on the phone with me practically every week while I cry," Amelia sits up and kisses their cheek, taking their face in her hands and gently tracing her thumb down their cheekbone. "Crying's good. Better than keeping it all inside. And, for the record, I'm not upset with you for not telling me it was your birthday. Although, you will have to let me get you at least a little gift."

"You don't have to do that," they take her hand in theirs and stand, their tightly laced boots crunching the leaves below them. "You already flew out here for the weekend, and we spent the entire day together. That's more than enough." Amelia sighs as they pull her up and lead her back to the path.

"Then you're not allowed to get me anything for my birthday."

"That's not fair because you enjoy your birthday, so there's actually a reason to celebrate." She groans, and Kai breathes out a laugh at her dramatics. "Although, I do have an idea for a present if you really feel the need to get me something." Amelia grins.

"And what would that be?"

"An orgasm or two. Or, a few more."

"Now that, I can do easily." She swings their arms upward. "Does this start when we get home, in the car, or do you want me to get on my knees right now?" Kai snorts and pushes her gently with their body.

"Happy birthday, you're arrested for public indecency," they mutter under their breath, rolling their eyes. "We'll see how many cars are in the parking lot when we get down this hill," they whisper into her ear and slide their arm around her waist. "Tinted windows come in handy."

Diabolik Lovers LOST EDEN ー Laito Ecstasy [Epilogue]

ー The scene starts in the entrance hall of Eden

Ruki: ーー I see. I suppose it has started at last. Thank you for informing us.

Yui: ...It has started? 

Ruki: Yes. Our Familiars and the Adler troops are currently battling it out in the forest. 

Yui: I see...

Reiji: I tried to convince all Vampires to band together...But that has proven to be rather difficult. 

Ayato: ...We’re only wastin’ our time by expectin’ anythin’ from those fuckers.

It’s only when they need somethin’, that they suddenly remember we exist and come butter up to us.

Subaru: Still...What other choice do we have? I mean, with our ‘leader’ (1) bein’ like that...

Shuu: ...Oi, you. Is Laito still in there?

Yui: Yes...

Kanato: Shall I try calling out to him one more time?

Yui: I doubt he’ll come out...

( Because I put too much pressure on him, Laito-kun has now isolated himself in the Chamber of Time in an attempt to flee away from everythingーー )

( I wonder if he no longer cares about anything... )

Yuma: We’re wastin’ time here. We just gotta fix this shit ourselves. 

Ruki: Right...That being said, it cannot be denied that we are at a definite disadvantage in terms of fighting power.

On top of that, we have to be wary of a potential attack from other species as well as the Founders as well...

Reiji: Unless Laito finds his motivation to fight, I have to agree that this situation is anything but advantageous to us. 

Kino: ーー Well, just let us handle the front lines and we’ll leave protecting this place up to you guys. 

Reiji: ...

Kino: Hm? Are we not good enough for you? 

Reiji: No...We are counting on you. 

Kino: ーーGotcha...! That being said, Yuuri, let’s go.

Yuuri: ...Yes, Kino. 

*Whistle* 

Reiji: ーー So they left.

Kou: Yeah. But what’s wrong exactly? 

Reiji: Well, I could not exactly bring it up with them still around but...There is something I’d like to report to all of you. 

Yui: ( ...? What could that be? )

Reiji: Actually, there is something which has been on my mind for a while, so I had one of my Familiars look into it the other day...

I wanted to know why exactly the Vibora Clan had decided to launch an attack on Rotigenberg, home to the Ravens under command of Kino as well as the other Ghouls...

ーー And it seems like the Ghouls were the ones who made the first move.

Ruki: ...Don’t tell me ーー They intentionally instigated an attack upon themselves to gain our sympathy...?

Reiji: I believe that is most likely the case. They must have been looking for a legal way to get inside Eden for some reason. 

Yui: ...No way...!? But why exactly...?

Subaru: Well...Couldn’t they be after that guy’s powers? 

Yui: ーー But...

( I thought Kino-kun’s sole purpose was to guide the Ghouls towards a new land... )

( That is why he needed those powers in the first place. In which case, they are no longer necessary to him right now, rightーー? )

???: ーー Well, I figured you’d find out eventually but...I guess you did a little sooner than I predicted. 

Ayato: ...Kino!? Where are you!?

*Whistle* 

ー An army of Ghouls surrounds them

Kou: This is bad...! We’ve been surrounded!!

Ayato: !? So that’s where you’ve been hidin’!?

Kino: Hehehe...Exactly! It was never our intention to head to the front lines in the first place. 

Yui: Kino-kun...!? 

Why...!? Why are you doing this...!?

Kino: Why, you ask? Shall I teach you? 

Yui: Eh...? 

Kino: Because my true objective has always been to become the Supreme Overlord of the Demon World by getting my hands on Laito’s powersーー 

Yui: So it was all a lie!? About wanting to guide the Ghouls to a new land...

Kino: I mean, it wasn’t all a lie. About half of it is the truth. 

But I guess you should say I simply had another goal which is even more important to me.

Yui: No wayーー 

Kino: I’ve got to thank you for everything you did for me. 

Not only did you arrange it so I could invade this place without having to do any trouble myself, but you even created a wall between the two of youーー 

Yui: ...So that was your intention all along...

Kino: What a scary face you’re making. But you know, all I did was give you a little push into the right direction? 

In the end, it was both you and him who chose this outcome, correct? 

Yui: Ugh...

( He’s not wrong...You pulled the strings but...As a result, just how much did Laito-kun have to suffer? )

( But perhaps...all of that is my fault...? )

( I trusted someone who I shouldn’t have...And got exploited as a result. )

...Ugh...

Azusa: Eve, hang in there...?

Yui: ( Laito-kun...! )

Shuu: ...Ugh...I think we might be in serious trouble.

Reiji: Yes. You might not be wrong there.

Kino: Enjoy the taste of these flames. ーー Do it!

Yuuri: Fire!

*Pang pang pang* 

Ayato: ...Damnit...Guh!!

*Thud*

*STAB*

Kanato: Aaaah...!!

*Thud* 

Yui: ...!!

ー The whole place is lit on fire

Yui: ( Everyone’s dropping like flies...Eden is being swallowed...by the flamesーー )

Monologue

Unable to dodge the incoming onslaught of arrows,

everyone falls to the floor. 

And at the same time, flames start spreading. 

All I could do was stand there and watch,

completely dumbfounded. 

And at the same time,

another voice starts whispering inside my head.

‘It’s all your fault’ ーー It says.

Yui: Ugh...

( I have to go...To Laito-kunーー )

Laito-kuーー 

ー Kino stops her

*Thud* 

Kino: You’re coming with me. 

*Rustle rustle* 

Yui: No! Let me go...!!

*Rustle rustle* 

Yui: ...!

Kino: Nu-uh. I still need you to be useful to me after all. 

Yui: I will no longer...work with you...!

Kino: That’s fine. It’s not like I need you to actively do anything, really. 

You just need to stand by my side and keep your mouth shut, simple as that.

If you just sit down like an obedient doll, that’s plenty. 

Well then, let’s go. Let’s watch together as Eden is burnt to ashesーー

*Thud* 

Yui: ...!!

Laito-kun...Laito-kun!! Laito-kun...Ugh... ーー 

ー The scene shifts to the night sky 

Kino: Don’t worry, you’ll be able to meet him soon enough. I mean, I doubt he won’t take notice of these flames. 

Yui: ...Ugh...

( I’m so sorry, Laito-kun...And everyone else tooーー )

( All of this happened...Because I was so stupidーー )

ー The scene shifts to the Chamber of Time

Laito: ( ...This sound...Fire...? )

( Those old geezers from the Adler Clan...Might have come to attack us. )

( Is Bitch-chan safe...? I’m sure she’ll be okay because my brothers are with herーー )

ー He can hear approaching footsteps 

Laito: ( Aah, the footsteps of the people coming to end my life...are drawing near. )

( With this, Iーー )

*Thud* 

Laito: ( I can be rebornーー )

ー The scene shifts to the World Tree

Yuuri: Kino, I was informed that Laito has been seized. 

Kino: I see. Good job.

Yuuri: I shall tell them to bring him here. 

Yui: ...What are you...going to do with Laito-kun...?

Kino: Isn’t that obvious? I’m going to kill him and take his powers. 

Yui: ...Why would you do such a horrible thing...?

Kino: Let me think. That’s a difficult question, but if I had to give an answerーー

Because I want them. 

Yui: ( ....I doubt Kino-kun will have a change of heart at this rate, no matter what I say. )

( Laito-kun will end up getting killed... )

Please, kill me as well. 

Kino: Nope. 

Yui: ーー Kill me...! I don’t want to live any longer.

Kino: Even if you feel that way, I will do whatever it takes to keep you alive. 

I told you, didn’t I? What I expect from you is to be alive and be here with me. That’s all. 

Yui: Ugh...

Yuuri: They’ve brought him here. 

Yui: Laito-kunーー 

Laito: ...Bitch-chan, you were...safe, huh? 

Kino: In case you’re curious, your brothers somehow made it out of that fire and they’re still alive and kicking as well. 

Laito: Says the guy who will kill them after you’ve ended my life...

Kino: Oh? You saw through me? Oh well, whatever. 

Well then...Let’s leave the chit-chat at that. ...Shall I guide you towards the afterlife? 

They’ve temporarily retreated out of fear of the fire, but I’ve still got those Adlers to deal with afterwards.

*Cling* 

Laito: ...

Kino: I’m envious. You get to take your final breath underneath the World Tree which is regarded as the beginning of all life. I bet that must feel amazing? 

Yui: ( Laito-kun... )

Kino: Well then, let’s get the fun started!

Yui: ( It’s my fault...He’ll die because of me... )

ーー TO BE CONTINUED ーー

Translation notes

El Lugar más Feliz de la Tierra: Chapter six

To all that come to this happy place, welcome. Disneyland is your land. Here age relives fond memories of the past, and here youth may savor the challenge and promise of the future. - Walt Disney

Luna had never heard these words before, nor had she heard of the man who had said them... well until she and Mateo end up having a movie night and Luna comes up with an idea. If there is really a place that can be called "the happiest place on the earth" she wants to see it for herself. So she and all her friends leave on an adventure ... an adventure over to a place where you can leave today and enter the world of the past, future, adventure, and fantasy.

There is a dedicated song for every chapter. It will be liked below V ¤

Here we gotta funny saying that the magic never ends

“Where is it?!” Luna jumped ahead onto the Main Street. 

“Left of the castle,” Ambar said as she looked at the app. 

“You are sure you won’t want to come with us?” Jazmin asked while pointing her camera at Pedro, Simon and Ramiro. 

“Yeah, no thanks,” Pedro shook his head. 

“You have fun with your princesses,” Ramiro remarked. 

“See you later!” Simon kissed Ambar on her cheek before the guys left the girl at the front of the partner statue and headed toward the partner statue. 

On today’s agenda was something that Luna had been looking forward to the most…well outside of all the speed and excitement: Princesses. Matteo, Gastón and Nina had gone to visit the distant galaxy, and other guys had apparently deemed it beyond their dignity to meet a bunch of princesses—which was ridiculous, so only the girls were going to visit the Royal Hall. 

“Wait,” Delfi stopped everyone before they were about to walk in. “Where are Jim and Yam?” 

“Oh, I thought they’d already be here…” Luna whipped her head around. 

“Now that I think about it… they weren’t at the gate when we got in.” Ambar wondered as well. Well, it had pretty much been expected that someone would get lost at some point during the trip. 

“Should we wait for them?” Luna pondered. 

“Who knows how long they will take,” Delfi countered, “Do we even know that they are coming here? Do they know that they should?” 

“Uuu, this will be a great addition to my feature,” Jazmin started excitedly and turned her camera on again. “We have found ourselves in quite a mystery. Two of our friends are missing and we don’t know where they are. Are they hiding in the castle? Or maybe in the tree house? Has some villain kidnapped them?!! We need to form a rescue party!”

“Jazmin,” Ambar rolled her eyes, “I think we should call them to see if they are coming and if we should wait…”

Suddenly they heard running footsteps and heavy breathing and saw a tall blond and short redhead running toward them. The Jam was here after all. 

“We’re here.” Yam huffed and puffed leaning to her knees after they had stopped in front of the others. 

“Well, better late than never,” Delfi nodded. 

“We’re fashionably late,” Jim corrected her, “We just needed to make sure everything looked great.” She twirled, “So? What do you think?” 

“You look great!” Luna reacted… “Uhm, but… what are we looking at?” 

“Aren’t you going to ask who we are?” Yam asked. She was dressed in yellow and green, while Jim’s outfit was mainly pink. 

“Okay then…” Ambar nodded, “Who are you?”

“You have to guess.”

“Uuuu, okay!” Jazmin had started recording…once again. “Uhm…a lemon and pink lemonade?”

“No!” Jim exclaimed, “I’m Anastasia, and Yam is Drizella.”

“Ooooh, okay,” Jazmin brought her camera closer, “Who are they?”

“Cinderella’s evil stepsisters!” 

“We thought it would be fun since we’re meeting the good old Cinders,” Yam explained, “We used to love that movie growing up. Don’t tell me you guys haven’t seen it?”

“Of course, we have,” Delfi responded, “It was my favorite as well. Jazmin wanted to cosplay them once upon a time. You remember, in sixth grade at La Hoja de roble, in that Halloween party.”

“Oh yeah, I remember,” Jazmin exclaimed, “Ambar was supposed to be Lady Tremaine… Why didn’t we do it?” 

“Not sure,” Ambar shook her head, “I don’t even remember going to that party.” 

“Your old school sounded so cool,” Luna jumped again, “Sadly Blake had nothing fun… anyways, should we go in?”

“Yes, let's do that.” Ambar nodded and the girls walked into the Royal Hall queue. 

“So, I am planning on doing this segment in my vlog…” Jazmin had started speaking away as soon as that line had stopped moving. “...where everyone picks their favorite. Delfi, you’re first. The beast or Flynn Rider?” 

“Uhm…” Delfi seemed to ponder for a moment, “Uhm, Flynn Rider? He didn’t have anger issues.” 

“Okay, Yam! You’re next.” Jazmin picked her next victim, “Prince Charming or Prince Eric?”

“What if I don’t want to pick a prince?” 

“Maybe it is a good thing that Nina isn’t here,” Ambar pondered aloud. 

“I need to ask these questions separately,” Jazmin had still heard her. “Since Yam is refusing to answer, I can save this combo for her then.”

“No,” Ambar shook her head violently, “Don’t ask her that.” 

“Why not?”

“I don’t get it either,” Luna also furrowed her brow, “Why not?”

“You do realize right that it sounds like you’re asking her to pick between her husband and her ex.” Ambar crossed her arms. “The answer is obvious, but given how everything went down, like we all know, I am sure she doesn’t appreciate him being brought up.” 

“Oh, right.” Luna’s face showed realization. 

“You know, sometimes I wonder what happened to him,” Jim piped up, “I mean, Eric. He just vanished.” 

“It’s probably for the best that we don’t know,” Ambar shook her head, “Hey, look. I know you all liked him, and I was under some evil spell at the time, but he was weird. We can admit that now, right? And it’s not like there is any point to this anyway. We all believe in soulmates right, and that always prevails, like we have seen…1...2…3...4 times at least, if not more.”

“Hey look!” Luna pointed ahead when they moved in the queue again. “There’s the first one.” 

From the looks of it, the first princess they were going to meet was in fact Cinderella. 

“Uuuu, this is perfect.” Jim and Yam were chuckling and rubbing their hands together. 

“Cinderella!” They seemed to take their Disney Bounds seriously, and as soon as it was their turn to meet with the princess, they started pulling a some bit. “You didn’t do our laundry…”

When they were two sentences in, they burst out laughing in front of the poor character. 

“We’re so sorry, we don’t know how to be mean,” Jim laughed, “But we’re dressed as Anastasia and Drizella.” 

“Oh yes, now I see it,” The character responded, “Anastasia really does like her pink.” 

***

“Oh yeah,” This is much more our speed,” Ramiro leaned back as he, Simon and Pedro sat on the first row of the boats in the Pirates of the Caribbean ride. 

“Speak for yourself,” Pedro remarked, “They will drag us there eventually.”

“Maybe you, but not me,” Ramiro rolled his eyes, “I’m a free man. I mean, you still have time to run.”

“And ruin my life? No thanks,” Pedro laughed. “Maybe we should have joined the intergalactic exploration after all.” 

“I am sure having Matteo as a third wheel is already enough for Gastón and Nina,” Simon remarked, “They don’t need us.” 

“Keep hold of your loose treasures.” The cast member said as the boat jerked forward.

“I am just going to relax,” Simon moved his hands behind his head, as they started floating through what looked like a bayou. “There has been so much fast movement in the past days—” 

“Psst! Avast there! It be too late to alter course, mateys—and there be plunderin’ pirates lurkin’ in every cove, waitin’ to board. Sit closer together, and keep your ruddy hands inboard—that be the best way to repel boarders. And mark well me words, mateys: “Dead men tell no tales!””

“Ye come seekin’ adventure and salty old pirates, eh? Sure, you come to the proper place. But keep a weather eye open, mates, and hold on tight—with both hands, if you please. There be squalls ahead! And Davy Jones waiting for them what don’t obey.”

“Oh, that is cool. They made that skull talk,” Pedro pointed out as they entered a tunnel under an articulated pirate symbol with a skull and swords. 

“Yeah, it is interesting.” Simon agreed, “Although, bones give me the creeps—Aaaah!!!!”

The boat started suddenly going downhill. 

“Yo ho, yo ho, a pirate's life for me. We kindle and char and in flame and ignite. Drink up me 'earties, yo ho. We burn up the city, we're really a fright. Drink up me 'earties, yo ho.”

“You scared?” Ramiro asked, laughing as they plunged into a cave eliminated with blue light and serenaded by some sort of a pirate song. 

“Nope,” Simon and Pedro shook their heads, “Just enjoying this lovely music.” 

“Sad that Nico isn’t here,” Pedro remarked, “I am getting ideas for a song from this music.” 

“A pirate album?” Simon nodded, “That sounds gooooooooood!”

Suddenly they plunged into another drop. 

“No one told us this was going to drop about ten million times.” Simon complained as they started proceeding through a grotto. “Are we gonna get wet on this one as well?” 

“Dead men tell no tales. Dead men tell no tales.” An ominous voice sounded through the grotto and they started passing multiple different skeletons. 

“Oh fun, more bones.” Simon complained. 

“You know, I actually read from somewhere that these are real skeletons.” Ramiro remarked.

“That can’t be right…” Pedro looked scandalized, “Is it even legal? Simon?”

“How would I know?” Simon shook his head as they passed a skeleton that looked like it was steering a shipwreck with lightning all around. 

“Ambar is a lawyer.”

“That doesn’t mean I know anything about it,” Simon shook his head again, “That’s not how marriage works. You don’t become a hivemind.” 

“How is that possible?!” Pedro exclaimed as they passed a skeleton sitting in a suspended cage… but the thing was that when they passed it, it became a figure of a person.

“I don’t know,” Ramiro shook his head, “The only one of us who has the technical knowledge for this is not here.” 

They floated through a mist veil… in the middle of a battle. 

“We’re not afraid of you!”

“It’s Cap’n Jack Sparrow we’re after—and a fortune in gold.”

“Now we’re talking!” Ramiro started getting excited. 

Unfortunately, they passed the war zone quickly. 

“Huh? Why was that so short?” 

They passed through a burning town with bunch a of pirates running amok. 

“We’re rascals and scoundrels. We’re villains and knaves. Drink up me hearties, yo ho. We’re devils and black sheep. We’re really bad eggs. Drink up me hearties, yo ho.”

The pirate song returned as they entered some sort of a jail cell where some pirates somehow tried to get a dog to give them a key. 

“Grab his tail! Go on, grab it!”

“Don’t scare him!”

“There you go, dearie. Come on—have a nice bone, eh? That’s a good lad! Come on, now!”

“That doesn’t seem very smart,” Pedro remarked, “I mean, I don’t know that much about dogs, but Delfi has had multiple and apparently, they don’t just listen to anybody. Plus, they have an amazing judge of character.” 

“I’m sure the robotic dogs are definitely the same.” Ramiro rolled his eyes again. 

***

“Looks like we’re comin’ in for a landing, gang. But please stay seated until Dumbo comes to a stop, and then you can walk to the nearest exit. Thanks for flying with the eighth wonder of the world — Dumbo!”

“Weeeeeeeeeee!” Luna yelled as her and Ambar’s elephant lowered them back onto the ground.

After they had taken about a million different pictures with all of the princesses, they had headed to Fantasyland. 

“That was so much fun!” Luna was practically bouncing off the figurative walls out of excitement, like she had been pretty much the whole trip already. “I love everything that has to do with flying!”

“Then you will definitely enjoy our flight back home too,” Delfi sat down on a bench for a moment. Jazmin had stayed behind to film, so she was talking to a camera in front of the Dumbo’s flying elephants as the girls moved away. 

“Well, that’s a week away at least,” Luna shrugged, “Don’t yet want to think about it. This is so much fun! Best birthday ever!”

“In a few months…” Ambar laughed. 

“So, what next?” Jim and Yam asked after being done with taking selfies with their outfits in front of a colorful bush. “Isn’t there that Snow White ride here?”

“Oh yes!” Luna jumped up again. “I think it was here.”

“Snow white was my favorite movie.” Jim started reminiscing, “We always used to watch it with Ashlyn when both Mom and Dad were at work. It was our comfort movie.” 

“How could that be comforting?” Delfi questioned, “I got nightmares from it, but Aaron loved the Dwarfs, so he wanted it on repeat… I think he did that to spite me.” 

“I always forget that you have a brother,” Luna remarked.

“You and everyone else,” Delfi rolled her eyes, “Better that way. Last I heard he has a girlfriend at Uni. That poor girl.”

“You and Jim really are the only ones with siblings, huh?” Luna kept pondering, “With Simon obviously. Why don’t the rest of us have any?”

“Well, Luna, you and I’s situation is a tad bit unique,” Ambar placed a hand on her shoulder, “I mean, I possibly could have half siblings somewhere, but I don’t know if I’ll ever know who they are. Your parents are dead, and Monica and Miguel have a similar situation to Gastón’s parents.” 

“And some people just want one kid,” Yam piped up, “Like mine. I have never wanted a sibling.”

“It is way too over appreciated.” Delfi huffed. 

“Well, hello there.” Simon, Pedro and Ramiro appeared in front of them. 

“Oh, I see you got enough of living your robber dreams and decided to join us in here sophistication?” 

“Hey, we fought and won a battle with some pirates,” Ramiro tried to brag. “So, what’s next?” 

“Uuuu, we haven’t done the teacups yet?” Luna piped up. 

“Teacups?” Simon questioned, “Don’t tell me that means that we’ll get wet… again.” 

“No,” Ambar laughed and linked her arm with Simon as they started walking. “The ride vehicles are teacups that spin.”

“Competition over who spins the fastest!” Jim yelled as they entered the queue. 

“You’re on!” Luna responded. 

The group separated into three different cups, with Jim, Yam and Ramiro taking the blue cup. Pedro, Delfi and Jazmin sat on the pink one. They had jumped out of the competition, Jazmin saying that she needed to film, so they couldn’t spin that fast. Ambar joined Simon and Luna on the orange one…

…she realized very quickly as they started moving that she had made a grave mistake. Both Simon and Luna were taking the spinning competition way too seriously. They were spinning the wheel inside of the cup as fast as they could, and their cup speed just kept increasing. She was going to be sick soon. 

Ambar had forgotten that she actually got dizzy while spinning quite easily. It had been an issue when she had first started skating, but she had dealt with it by finding the right technique. Spotting wouldn’t really help while she was in a spinning teacup which went every direction at once… Hopefully this was going to be over soon. 

“Yay! We won!” Luna jumped as they finally exited the ride. “Did we?”

“How can we even determine that?” Jim started to ponder. “Can you even measure spinning speed…Oh well, we all won then.”

“You okay?” Simon asked Ambar as she grabbed his arm for support. 

“Remind me never to go on anything spinning with you and Luna.” Ambar huffed and focused her eyes on a tree she saw in the distance to steady herself. 

“Uups, sorry.” Luna nodded, “We maybe just got little bit carried away.” 

“You think?”

“Well, Snow White next?” 

“Do you want to sit this one out?” Simon asked Ambar as they started walking toward the dark ride.

“I think I’ll be fine,” Ambar took a sip from a water bottle. “That won’t spin right?” 

“Look!” They stopped in front of the ride. It looked like a medieval cottage mixed with a castle. In top of it read: Snow White’s Enchanted Wish. There was no way Ambar was going to sit this one out. She had been quite intrigued by Disney history when she was younger, and this was a groundbreaking movie. The Queen also reminded her of Sharon extremely. 

Speaking off, the curtains on the top of the window were suddenly pulled open and revealed the Queen looking at them. 

***

“So you all got out of there alive? No one got put under a sleeping curse?” Luna heard a voice as they were exiting the Snow White ride. The ride had been so cute! Now Luna needed to watch that movie properly. 

“Matteo!!” She dashed toward him. Matteo had been waiting for them leaning on the fence next to the exit. 

“So, you returned from the other galaxy in one piece," Ambar questioned as everyone joined them on the fence. 

“Actually, that was the normal Galaxy,” Matteo rolled his eyes, “The other Galaxy is something else completely. I don’t get it fully either.” 

“How did you find us?” Luna asked.

“Well, Jazmin was going on a monologue about wanting to make “poison apple pie” for next Halloween in the chat so I deduced from that.” Matteo shrugged. 

“Where are Gastón and Nina?” Simon asked. 

“Oh, they went to drop all the merch to the hotel…” Matteo smirked, “So, that will probably take a while.” 

“Oh, but we were going to go on Thunder Mountain next. I wanted to try this challenge where you try to stay completely out and no screaming and stuff.” Luna took her phone out, “I’ll text Nina, ask when they are coming—”

“NO, Luna.” Matteo grabbed Luna’s phone. “Thrust me. They aren’t coming. Leave them to be. They said they’ll meet up with us for the Fantasmic.” 

“Oh, okay,” Luna nodded, “What’s that?”

Luna pointed toward a long black fabric tube that was hanging off Matteo’s shoulder. 

“Oh this?” Matteo looked at it, “It’s just a lightsaber bag… given that they’re kind of forbidden and I don’t want to be hunted down.” 

“Oh, those glowy stick thingies right?” Luna asked. “What color?”

“I made a purple one.” Matteo explained, “Felt like it fit.”

“Uuu, I want a yellow one!” Luna exclaimed. “I want to make a laser sword too!” 

“Well, we can go back there tomorrow.” Matteo nodded. “I got you something, but you'll get it back at the hotel.”

“What is it?”

“Not going to tell you,” Matteo shook his head, “But I can say that it biips and gets grumpy if it doesn’t get enough chocolate.” 

*

“Hey! We’re here.” Gastón and Nina joined the group as they were all gathered in front of the Tom Sawyer Island to wait for the Fantasmic to begin. 

“Great!” Luna greeted them. “You missed the most fun faces that Matteo made on the rollercoaster. What took you so long?”

“Uhm, we had to make sure that we could fit all the merch we had in the bags,” Nina answered after they had shared a quick glance with each other. 

“Plus, we had to recover from Matteos “flying”,” Gastón laughed, “No one should let him drive a car again.” 

“Hey! Cars aren’t getting shot at,” Matteo snarked from next to Luna, “Nor do they fly.”

“Matteo told me that you made laser swords too,” Luna continued, “Tell me, tell me. What color?” 

“Blue. We’re boring like that.”

“I want to make a yellow one.” Luna kept blabbing away, “tomorrow.”

“I guess we’re going back then tomorrow.” Gastón remarked, “I want to see all of your faces when you taste that blue milk.”

“There is milt that is blue?!!”

“Luna, shhhhh,” Ambar nudged Luna, “I think it’s starting.” 

“I heard this thing had a dragon in it,” Yam said while draping her arm on Jim’s shoulder. “One that breathed fire.” 

“Didn’t that burn down?” Ramiro remarked. “I think I saw that on TikTok few years back.”

“Welcome to Fantasmic! Tonight, our friend and host, Mickey Mouse, uses his vivid imagination to create magical imagery for all to enjoy. Nothing is more wonderful than the imagination — for in a moment, you can experience a beautiful fantasy or an exciting adventure! But beware… nothing is more powerful than the imagination — for it can also expand your greatest fears into an overwhelming nightmare. Are the powers of Mickey’s incredible imagination strong enough and bright enough to withstand the evil forces that invade Mickey’s dream? You are about to find out. For we now invite you to join Mickey and experience Fantasmic! — a journey beyond your wildest imagination.”

“Imagination. Dream a fantastic dream!”

Suddenly the singing started.

“Use your imagination! See it in your mind, and you can find in your imagination. Mysteries and magic, visions fantastic. Leading to strange and wondrous dreams.”

{}

So, if someone was confused, this is happening the same time as the last chapter. I also feel like yellow would be Luna's color for a lightsaber, given it's rarity

"And then Vicki laughed. And it wasn't like a cheap, fake laugh either. It was like... it was a real genuine laugh." Robin tells us as Steve put some vhs on the shelfs and I hold some to help them. I don't work here, but I like to help instead of sitting at home doing nothing.

"Of course. It's my Muppet joke. It's hilarious" Steve says very proudly, and I roll my eyes.

"My point is that Vicki laughed and everything was just like...it was perfect" she keeps going with a dreamy voice.

She's so cute.

"But?" I ask, knowing something's up.

"But I'm having this problem where it's like, I should stop talking." She explains "I have said everything I need to say.but then I guess I get nervous and the words keep spilling out, and it's like my.. my brain is moving faster than my mouth, or rather my.. my mouth is moving faster than my brain. And it's like I'm digging this hole for myself, and I want to stop digging, I'm trying to stop, but I can't. And I'm doing it right now, aren't I?"

She finally turns around to look at us after her babbling.

"Yeah, you are" Steve says and I nod with a half smile.

She exhales deeply and move backwards to rest against the wall.

"I'm hopeless" she says.

Steve follows her against the wall. "We both are"

I roll my eyes at their pessimism.

"If only we could just, like, combine." Robin suddenly says, I look at her confused.

"Combine?" Steve's confused too.

"No. Think about it. I know exactly what I want, and I've found the girl of my dreams, but I can't get the courage to ask her out. Meanwhile, you go on, like, a million dates, and you have no idea what you want. So if we just combine, all our problems would be solved."

Steve lets out an understanding "Oohh"

"Because, I mean, alone let's face it..."

"We totally suck." Steve finishes for her.

"Totally and utterly"

"C'mon, you guys are the most amazing persons that I know... just have hope" I look at Steve "and some courage" I look at Robin "and everything will be fine"

"Oh yeah?" Steve sends me a very sceptical look.

"Ooh, I think I found our morning movie" Robin gasps, running to a shelf and grabbing a vhs. "Doctor Zhivago"

"Ugh, you know I don't do double vhs" Steve groans shaking his hands in the air.

"But it's about doomed love" she tries.

"That's relatable" Steve agrees, and we both follow Robing behind the counter.

"Exactly. Also Julie Christie is b-b-bonkers hot in this. Like seriously the most beautiful creature  I've ever seen in my life"  she turn the TV on.

"I gotta agree on that" I declare.

"We're in the Forest Hills trailer park on East Roane County." The reporter's voice says loud and clear "we don't have a lot of details now, but we can confirm that the body kd a Hawkins High student was discovered early this morning. Police have not released the name although we are told they're currently in the process of notifying the family"

Oh shit.. as if alternate dimensions creature's weren't enough.

"Holy shit" Steve whispers beside me.

"Who could that be?" I ask worried.

"I don't know.." Robin replies.

"Isn't it where Max lives?" I ask again looking at them.

They just nods.

Oh shit.

We spent the morning watching the news and organising the store to keep ourselves busy.

All of a sudden the door bell rings and Dustin and Max come in.

"Hey Steve" he says, he looks visibly agitated.

"You guys see this?" Steve asks them.

"How many phones do you have?" Dustin asks, completely ignoring Steve's question.

Robin and I share a confused look

"Someone was murdered"

"How many phones fo you have?" He repeats more firmly.

"Two. Why?" He answers

"Technically three if you count Keith's in the back" Robins specifies. 

Max and Dustin look at each other.

"Yeah, thee works" Max says.

So Dustin take off his backpack as Steve asks "what are you doing?" And, again, ignoring his question Dustin throw the backpack on the other side of the counter and climbs on top of it to get through.

All this while earning very annoyed reactions from both Robin and Steve.

Ignoring both of them Dustin positions himself in fron of the computer.

"What are you doing?" Steve asks.

"Setting up base of operation here." He simply answers.

"Base of operation?" I ask. "Why?"

Steve tries to get Dustin off of the computer, but with no use.

"What do you need it for? Dustin?" I ask, getting more and more confused.

"Eddie's friends' phone numbers" he answers and I look at Steve.

"Oh Eddie, your new best friend who just is cooler because he plays your nerdy game?" Steve asks, sounding quite jealous, I gotta say.

"I never said that" Dustin defends himself from Steve's accusatory tone.

"Seriously, you guys, maybe know a Monday you can play around like toddlers, but it's Saturday. It's our busiest day" Robin tells them, putting the tapes back on the counter.

"Robin, look, I empathise, but this cannot wait  until Monday" Dustin firmly says.

"Calling Eddie's friends is an emergency?" She asks back.

"Correct" Dustin shouts, like that was the most obvious thing.

"Why? What happened?" I ask, now getting more worried. "Did something happen to Eddie?... Dustin?"

"Can you just  fill them in while I do this?" Dustin asks Max.

"Fill us in on what?" Robin is definitely annoyed.

We all look at Max waiting for her to explain what happened.

We found ourselves calling so many different numbers, trying to find a lead to where Eddie might've gone.

I type down the numbers while Robin, Max and Dustin call them, and Steve flirts with every girls he can, pretending he's just working.

"Hey, guys. I might have a lead" Max calls pur attention.

"Seriously?" Dustin turns to her, hopefully.

"Yeah, apparently, Eddie gets his drugs from come guy names Reefer Rick, and sometimes Eddie crashes there." She explains.

"That's promising" I comment.

"Where does this Reefer Rick live?" Robin asks.

"See that's the thing. No one knows. He's more of a.. a legend than someone that people actually know."  Max explains.

"And.. what about a last name?" I ask.

"I don't know that either" She answers.

"Less promising" I shake my head.

"Bet the cops knows the last name" Steve intervenes.

We turn all to him.

"What?"

"Cops. I mean listen  if this Reefer Rick is actually a drug dealer, I guarantee you he's been busted at some point. Means he's in the system" he explains like he found the perfect solution to all our problems.

"The cops? Really, Steve? That's your suggestion?" Dustin asks incredulous.

"I mean, I just think they should be filled on on what we know, what's going on" he says simply.

"You think Eddie's guilty, don't you?" Dustin accuses.

"Whoa. I believe in innocent until proven guilty, all that constitutional shit." Steve defends himself " I just, you know, don't think that we can rule it out"

"That's precisely what we're trying to do here, Steve." Max says annoyed.

"And maybe we'd have a little bit more luck if you spent less time trying to find a girlfriend and more time trying to find Eddie"

"He' not wrong here, Stevie" I agree with Dustin.

"Oh well somebody has to attend to the customers" Steve says, again, to defend himself, and I roll my eyes scoffing.

"Especially if they're babes, right?" Robin teases with a wink.

"Hey, not fair, okay?" Steve points his finger st her "I attend to all customers equally, babes and non-babes alike. We've got a very big selection in here. It can be super overwhelming for people"

"Yeah it can be" Robin says, I can tell she thought something to actually help us so I quickly follow her to the computer.

"What are you doing?" Max asks.

"Maybe we don't need a last name" she answers.

She type on the keyboard, Rick's name and a list of Ricks appears on the screen.

"Twelve Ricks have accounts here" she tells us.

"That's a lots of Ricks" Max comments.

"You're a genius, Robin" I tell her.

"I know. Now, let's narrow it down, uh? Rick Alderman's latest rentals are Annie and Dumbo...what are the chances our drug dealer has a family?" She asks.

"Not likely"

"All right, Rick Conroy. Sixteen candles, Teen Wolf, Romancing the stone." She move to the next Rick.

"No"

"Okay, Rick Joiner, Mask, Footloose, and Grease"

"Nah"

"Rick Kimbrough. The Blue Lagoon, and Splash."

"Definitely no"

"Okay. Rick Lipton. Fast Times at Ridgermont High, Cheech & Chong's next movie. Cheech & Chong's nice dreams. Cheech & Chong' up in smoke."

"Bingo" Dustin chuckles.

"Lipton?"

"Spelled like the tea. 2131 Holland Road" Robin reads.

"That's out by Lovers Lake" Dustin says.

"Middle of nowhere" I comment.

"It's a perfect place to hide" Robin agrees.

That being said we all head out to Steve's car and to this Reefer Rick's house.

And hopefully to Eddie.

We all grab a torch each and get out of the car to walk to this Reefer Rick's house.

The lights are out, which could mean that no one's home or... Eddie's hiding.

Dustin repeatedly tries to ring the bell, but to no use.

"Okay. Well, that's settled. I guess he's not here." Steve says, trying to make Dustin stop.

But Dustin just start to shout for Eddie to come out and tries again with the door bell.

Me and Max move to the side of the house with our torch, seeing what looks like a boathouse. Maybe Eddie's in there.

"Hey guys!" Max calls.

"Well let's go" I say already walking towards the small building. 

Robin is the first one to enter.

"Hello? Is anyone home?" She tries.

We all enter and start to look around.

"What a dump" Steve comments

The place is far from clean, there garbage everywhere and, as expected, a boat in the middle filled with something covered by a tarp.

I spot Steve grabbing an oar as a weapon and starts to poke the boat multiple times.

"What are you doing?" Dustin asks.

Steve just doesn't answer so Dustin repeats the question, more shocked. 

"He might be in here." Steve simply replies.

"So take the tarp off." Dustin tells him.

"If you're so brave, you take the tarp off" he basically challenges.

"Stop bickering, you two." I say.

Steve just keeps hitting on top of the tarp covered boat.

"Hey, look over here" Max tells us. She points our attention to some food envelopes.

"Someone was here." I try.

"Maybe he heard us. Got spooked and ran" Robin suggests.

"Don't worry. Steve will get him with his oar" Dustin says sarcastically. 

"Oh I know you think you're being funny, Henderson, but considering everyone in this room has nearly died about a hundred times, personally, I don't find it funny in the slight-"

Steve is cut off by a loud scream and Eddie jumping from under the tarp and pushing him against the wall, a broken bottle in his hand.

We all gather as close as possible, trying to not scare him further for Eddie to react too badly.

"Whoa whoa whoa Eddie! Eddie! Stop!" Dustin says, holding his arms out to stop us from getting further closer.

Eddie turns to look at Dustin, not moving the broken glass away from Steve's neck yet.

"It's me. It's Dustin" Dustin tries to stay calm while getting Eddie's attention. "This is Steve. He's not going to hurt you, right, Steve?"

"Right, yeah" Steve agrees, quite agitated.

"Steve, c'mon.. drop the oar, will you?" I say, as calmly as possible. 

Steve does as I say, dropping the oar away, but that just startle Eddie more pointing the glass back at Steve's neck.

"He's cool, he's cool" Dustin says.

"What are you doing here?" Eddie says, voice breaking.

"We're looking for you" Dustin replies

"We're here to help, Eddie" I add.

Eddie turns his head again to us, listening carefully.

"Eddie, these are my friends. You know Robin, from band. This is my friend Max. The one who never wants to play D&D. You know Y/n too. The quiet girl you always stare at, at lunch. Eddie. We're on your side. I swear on my mother. Right guys?"

"Yeah yeah we swear"

"Yeah on Dustin's mother"

"Yeah, Dustin's.. mother"

We say no more, tense as never before, but at the end Eddie lets Steve go and moves to the side sitting down.

Steve just come to us, I check his neck in case the broken bottle accidentally cut him but he's fine.

I turn to look at Eddie, Dustin kneels in front of him and I slowly follow.

He looks... terrified.

"Eddie...we just want to talk" Dustin very slowly tries to grab the bottle in Eddie's hand, but as soon as he gets to close he flinches grabbing the glass harder.

"Eddie... we just wanna know what happened. " I tell him.

"You won't believe me" he tells us.

"Try us" Max says.

Eddie told us everything that happened, about Chrissy coming to him to buy drugs, and how she died, right in front of him.

"Her body just lifted up into the air and.. and she just like, hung there. In the air. And her bones..  she.. her bones starter to snap"

He struggling to tell us what happened, all I want to do is grabbing his hand and reassure him...

"Her eyes, man" he continues "it was like.. there was something, inside her head, pulling. I.. I didn't know what to do so.. I.. I ran away. I left her there." He sounds so ashamed... he couldn't do anything for her.

Poor girl, she was really one of the sweetest person in Hawkins.

Fuck.

Eddie looks up to us, only to turn his head away quickly, scoffing.

"You all think I'm crazy right?"

"No. We don't think you're crazy" Dustin tries to reassure him.

"Don't bullshit me, man! I know how this sounds" Eddie snaps.

"We're not bullshiting you" Max intervenes.

"We believe you" Robin says and Eddie just scoffs, still not believing us.

"Look, what I'm about to tell you might be a little.. difficult to take." Dustin starts "you know how people say Hawkins is...cursed? They're not way off. There's another world.a words hidden beneath Hawkins. Sometimes it bleeds into ours." Dustin explains.

"Like ghosts and shit?" Eddie asks.

"There are... there are some things worst than ghosts" I tell him.

"These monsters from this other world, we thought they were gone. But they've come back before. That's why we needed to find you."

"If they're back again, we need to know" Max says.

"That night, did you see anything?" Robin asks.

"Dark particles, maybe"

Eddie just shakes his head no.

"It would almost look like dust, swirling dust." Dustin specifies.

"No, man, there was nothing you could see or.. touch" Eddie explains. 

I look at Steve who, now, looks more worried than before, full attention on Eddie.

"You know, I tried to wake her, man. She couldn't move. It was like she.. she was in a trance or something." Eddie explains and we all listen carefully.

"Or under a spell" Dustin points out.

"A curse."

"Vecna's curse" Dustin realises.

"Who's Vecna?" Steve asks

"And undead creature of great power" Dustin answers.

"A spell caster" I say, earning a confused look from Steve.

"A dark Wizard" Dustin finishes.

This might be worse than all the ones before...

Fuck.

We decided we have to go and get some food for Eddie.

"We'll be right back, man, I promise" Dustin says.

As we all walk to the door.

Steve and Dustin turn to me stopping me in my tracks.

"Why don't you... uh... stay here and keep him company?" Dustin asks.

"What? Why me?" Now I'm confused.

"Because you're the sweetest and he clearly has a thing for you" Steve replies as the most simple thing ever.

"He does not" I tell him sternly.

"Either way you're the best choice. You're calmer and... easier to be around than the rest of us" Steve convinces me.

"Y/n, trust me. He needs someone like you now. Please, I don't think he should be alone now" Dustin says looking me in the eyes.

"Fine" I tell him nodding "yeah, I'll stay with him. But you better stay out of trouble"

"As always" Steve shrugs.

I give him a warning look and just sigh. Watching them driving away.

I get back to the boathouse and see Eddie's figure watching nothing on the boat.

"Hey" I say quietly.

He seems to snap out of trance and looks at me surprised.

"I thought you all went" he says, with a small smile.

"Yeah well... we didn't.. uh... Dustin didn't want you to be alone right now" I tell him, fidgeting with my rings again.

"Thanks.. I guess he's right" he says.

I nod, walking a bit closer, but not too much.

"So..." he starts.

"So..." I mimic him, earning a laugh from him.

"You knew about the spell caster" he implies.

"Yeah... a-and?"

"You know about D&D..?" He asks.

"Yeah.." I say nervously.

"No way!" He whisper shouts.

"It's true!" I tell him, with a small chuckle.

"How come didn't you join Hellfire?" He asks, genuinely curious.

"I.. well.. I just..." I stutter.

"Hey.. I'm not judging, m'lady" he assures me, with a smile.

"I'm just too shy, I think.. also I'm not very good at playing" I laugh quietly. 

"I could've taught you" he says.

"I... I'm not very good with people" I honestly tell him.

"What do you mean?"

"I.. I'm not very good at talking to people, I get nervous and stutter the whole time. And just... I just shut up so I don't bother anyone" I explain.

"You're not stuttering with me" he shrugs.

"I.." I stops realising it's true.

With him it feels easier, somehow..

"No need to worry about a freak's opinion, i guess." he lower his eyes, almost disappointed.

"No! Not at all!" I quickly say.

He look at me, searching my eyes to see if I'm messing with him.

"I... listen, I don't understand why people always call you that, but I personally always saw you as someone... cool" I say, getting shy as I finish my sentence. 

"Really?" He says, he tries to hold back a smile, but he fails.

"Yeah.." I look away from him. "You always walk around like you don't care about anything. You have your ideas and you're not ashamed, and of course you shouldn't be ashamed of them. You're like smarter than any of those dickheads from the basketball team"

"Wow" he blushes... he blushes?

Did I make Eddie Munson blush?

"Are you blushing, my lord?" I gather some courage and make a joke.

"Oh... 'my lord' uh?" He looks at me with a smirk, that makes me instantly lower my eyes with my cheeks warming up.

"I.. yeah.. I mean, you keep calling me-"

"M'lady? Yeah, so I'd say 'my lord' fits perfectly" he sweetly smiles at me.

We stay silent for a while.

It's a comfortable silence, the kind you don't have to talk to fill it. We just need each other company to be okay.

I watch him fidgeting with his own hands.

He's getting nervous.

Instinctively I reach out for his hands and he turns to me, surprised, but he doesn't retreat his hands.

"It's gonna be okay" I tell him. "I know it sounds like a shitty cliché.. trust me I know." I let out a small chuckle "we've been through this shit a few times.. the point is, we're with you on this. We're gonna solve this."

He holds my hands in his.

"I want to believe you" he says looking me in the eyes.

"Good" I say.

He starts to stroke my knuckles gently.

"I'm glad you're the one to stay here, m'lady" he says.

"Apparently I'm the easiest to be around" I tell him with a shrug.

He's still not letting go my hands.

"Maybe... but that's not the only reason, but yeah" he says, a playful smile on his face.

"Then... w-why?" I say, feeling my cheeks warming up again.

"Well.. that's an answer for another time, uh?" He winks and I'm just speechless.

All of a sudden we hear noises from outside.

I grab the oar Steve used earlier and move to the door.

"Stay there" I tell Eddie.

I get closer and closer to the door, that suddenly opens reveling Robin, Dustin, Max and Steve holding some bags full of food and drinks.

"Fuck sake!" I exclaim as they enter with apologetic looks.

"delivery service" Dustin announces.

I look at Eddie who look just as startled, heavy breathing and all that.

I just exhale deeply and grab one of the bags they carried inside.

A3! Miyoshi Kazunari - Translation [SSR] les sucreries (3/3)

*Please read disclaimer on blog; default name set as Izumi

---

Kazunari: M’kay, I’m gonna jump right into it. Director-chan, you can take a seat on that sofa and make yourself comfortable.

Izumi: Sure thing. I feel kind of nervous though…

Kazunari: Ahaha, your shoulders are all tense! Let loose and have a seat. Ah, it’s alright if your line of sight isn’t on me!

-pause-

Kazunari: …Nice! Let’s take a quick break.

Izumi: Mhm… (*Sigh*… I can finally move again…)

Kazunari: Sorry for making you keep still.

Izumi: No worries. It’s pretty tough staying still the entire time.

Kazunari: We don’t do that all that often, huh? Ooh, I know! Wanna have some? They’re macarons! They’re famous for tasting delish! Let’s have ourselves a tea party!

Izumi: Thanks. Holding a tea party in an atelier feels fresh.

Kazunari: Uni’s pretty laissez-fair, after all. Besides, you came all the way here, so I gotta treat you properly. And most importantly, I rarely get the chance to have teatime with a dressed-up Director-chan, isn’t that right? The locale is my uni’s atelier though.

Option 1: “A tea party in an atelier sounds fun too”

Izumi: I’d never get the chance to have a tea party in a university’s atelier, so I’m looking forward to it.

Kazunari: You enjoy everything, just like that. Don’tcha, Director-chan? I like that about you.

Izumi: Ahaha, I appreciate it.

Kazunari: The ones who enjoy everything are winning, after all!

Option 2: “Amabi is an interesting place”

Izumi: Amabi is an interesting place. There’s lots of stylish people around. So many people I passed while I was waiting for you had their own unique fashion.

Kazunari: Speaking of unique, there’s a lot of eccentric folks too~. The day before, there were people who were holding a takoyaki party in a lecture hall!

Izumi: That’s amazing in its own way…

Kazunari: Well, that’s part of the fun too!

Kazunari: Anyways, here’s the macarons! Choose any one you’d like.

Izumi: Ehh… I can’t decide which one to pick… Alright, I guess I’ll have pistachio.

Kazunari: Okayyy! Salted caramel for me then. It’s the instant kind, but I’ll whip up some black tea. Sit tight for a sec~.

Izumi: Thanks. Itadakimasu.

Kazunari: Let’s see, I’m pretty sure it’s over here—.

*alarm goes off*

Announcement: “Fire. Fire. A fire has broken out.” “All students please evacuate immediately.”

Izumi: !?

Kazunari: Eh? EH? FIRE!?

Izumi: This isn’t an evacuation drill, is it…?

Kazunari: I didn’t hear of anything like that… In any case, we should probably head outside. Now. Over here, Director-chan!

Izumi: O-okay.

*opens door*

Izumi: Kazunari-kun, there’s smoke…!

Kazunari: Woah~!? This is legit!

Izumi: We have to get out of here, quick…!

Kazunari: Wait, Director-chan. You can’t run in that outfit, can you?

Izumi: I think I’ll manage if I take off my heels, but…

Kazunari: Hold still… upsie-daisies!

Izumi: Wah! Kazunari-kun!?

Kazunari: …I’ll carry you, princess.

Izumi: … (This is unmistakably a princess carry… isn’t it!?)

Kazunari: Hold on tight!

Izumi: Eh!? Wait a minute—!

Kazunari: Here we go!

-pause-

Kazunari: …And that’s why we were in a doozy the other day~. Director-chan got a fright too!

Banri: Hey, if it’s Director-chan, then she’ll be fine. Besides, it wasn’t actually a fire in the end, right?

Kazunari: Right, right. Apparently, the smoke from people grilling meat in a lecture hall set off the fire alarm.

Banri: What a drag involving the whole school over grilled meat… Oh yeah. I heard there’s a rumour you were with a girl. There’s lotsa speculation flying ‘round that she’s your girlfriend.

Kazunari: Ahh… well, I’m not gonna deny it!

Banri: Why’s that?

Kazunari: But, I mean… if I had to say, she’s more like my muse.

The Narrator

God is a comforting lie we tell ourselves.

I mean, how great would it be? A benevolent intelligent being who could preside over everything, see everywhere, cover all the details, make sure it all worked.

What we have is the Narrator.

Some of us - a few of us - can sense him? Her? Them? It. I don't know. But we recognize each other too.

There's something about us, some kind of look we get, living a life where there's this THING hovering out of sight, over our shoulder, watching US, spinning a life around US.

We're its special playthings, until it tires of us.

Every once in awhile, we cross paths. Oh, god, we don't dare interact. Can you imagine what would happen? But we see, recognize, and know we're not quite alone.

That's gotta be enough.

You'd think having something watching out for you would be good? No way, brother. See, there's two sides to being Narrated.

The one side is kind of obvious. Your life isn't your own, not really. Fall in love, start a family, only to have it taken away because that's an interesting story for it to think about. That's tragic, it's heartbreaking, because the love is real, the feeling is real, and you're just - pushed into it, and jerked out of it. She didn't love you for you, she loved you because she's written to.

The worst part is when you learn you're Narrated, and THEN the replacement love interest shows up in your life.

But there's another side to it. You know what the worst thing is? The thing nobody thinks about when they hear me talk this crazy shit at a bar.

You know what's the worst? What the Narrator DOESN'T describe.

Those guys in the back, they're all blurry. Distorted. They don't have real faces. To me, they look like hairy gorillas filmed through a greasy lens. Out of focus, physically and otherwise. They're bit characters. They don't MATTER to it. They're just gonna slide in here, drink, then leave, and I don't even know, I can't prove, they really exist after that.

Did my kids actually exist as, you know, real people? When they went to school, how did they feel? Did they have friends? At the funeral, who was there to mourn them specifically?

I have memories of them. Bad grades. Complaints. Giving fatherly advice. How much of that really mattered, though?

They weren't important enough to be Narrated, I guess.

Why can't I remember my wife's face doing anything but smiling? She must have been hurt or angry or upset or frustrated or SOMETHING human, some of the time.

Have I forgotten - or am I just remembering the good times? Or was she not...?

When I really start thinking about this stuff, I can't stop. I'm human. I got needs, emotions, all that stuff. If my life is just at the center of some fiction, where did all that come from? Who dreamed that up? I don't know, maybe there's a Narrator for science textbooks and they're just making up all these weird horrifying things and calling them "human".

I can't even trust my own nature. My own feelings. My instincts. They're telling me that all of this is WRONG, that this isn't supposed to be how things are. But what if that's being Narrated too?

I carry a revolver with a few bullets. Just in case, you know. Just in case. My only fear is that it'd find a way to bring me back for a sequel.

mutuals as svt songs & members + why please!

hi! under read more cause this is long!!

@young-jae as scoups / snap shoot: sofie is like the big sister i never had and i love her to death. her vibes are the entire snap shoot video in one and her friendship makes me feel light and loved and understood, and never like any work at all. i also love dino's verse and dk's harmony here a lot and i think that is really just the two of us in, like, 5 seconds.

@bisexualhobibi as jeonghan / all my love: ana is my best friend in the world. they are funny, mischievous, opinionated, caring, brilliant, and just the absolute bestest person you could ever have the luck to meet. i have no idea how they deemed me cool enough to become friends with them to be honest??? sometimes i feel like i don't deserve a friendship like this. all my love only amounts to so much, you know? but even so, i would do everything for them.

@herewegobebe as joshua / aju nice: ah, ru!!! i love ru so much. she is such a veteran in the shawol fandom and i feel like joshua is a good fit for her. aju nice is the kind of song that makes you nostalgic but is also just a huge fucking party, and i think there's nothing us shawols know better / love more than that.

@huiwife as jun / rock with you: a fellow gemini, this was such a no brainer. jasmine has the energry of jun cooking his hot pot for everyone, that quiet kind of devotion. to me, anyways. i chose rock with you because i feel like it has that kind of infectious vibe that jasmine has, and because it could have been a pentagon b-side.

@jjaes as hoshi+minghao / thanks: do i need to say anything here, actually? yes, al gets a double bill so sorry to whoever would have been minghao, i guess. thinking about this makes me want to bawl my eyes out so i will keep it short, mostly. al is the only person in the world who understands me unconditionally and who has never, ever left me, and never will. there is not enough thanks, or even words, in the world to convey my gratitude. not enough love, either. also, she is the perfect marriage of hoshi's gemini delusion and minghao's spirituality and no nonsense approach to life.

@wonublr as wonwoo / oh my!: lee is the wonu to my woozi and of the funnest people i ever met on caratblr. we just kinda clicked instantly and that is so rare! she has the kind of calming influence on me that wonwoo has on a grumpy gremlin like jihoon, and i just adore having her around. i chose oh my!, a song that i absolutely love, because it is so carefree and bubbly and lovely, and lee is all of that to me.

@magzineho as woozi / 24h: if i have to hand out my most beloved, dearest, most important jihoon to anyone, it gotta be rosie. i love you and i love yelling about all things pentagon and musical theater and literally anything else in this world with you. real recognizes real and that's why you are the jihoon of my heart. 24h is one of my favorite seventeen songs and i think you'd vibe with it really well.

@tipannies as dk / fallin' flower: mari, one of my favorite people in the entire world. i love you so much, and i know you probably don't see yourself that way, but to me you are sunshine, much like dk's role in the group. also, your talent is vast and endless and makes me feel like the luckiest fool in the world getting to witness it. i chose falling flower for you because the songs is tender and soft and aches, and yet, it picks you right off the ground. i think it's a song that understands melancholy and heartache and pain, and i love this song and you.

@ohoshi as mingyu / spider: hoshi central cora is the mingyu to al's minghao and also the mingyu to al's hoshi. if you get it, you get it. spider is another no-brainer here! as a group song, i would have either given her fearless or hot. i think there is so much we can achieve if we let go of our anxieties and fears and just believe in ourselves. i was born in fear but i got back on the horse fearless. wonwoo said something like that once, in don quixote.

@yejiswife as seungkwan / heaven's cloud: jenny, one of the best people on the planet ..... it is a fucking honor to know them and love them and cherish them and just, like. call them a friend. i would give jenny the world if i could. they are as fun and brazen and genius as seungkwan and yet, their heart is as soft and honest and sweet as a cloud. also, i personally love heaven's cloud a lot. i love you, jenny. <3

@usershua as vernon / 2 minus 1: vivi, ofc, had to be vernon. she is the vernon to my woozi and she absolutely understands what it's like to be so enamored with a man it makes you look stupid. but, on a more serious note, vivi is so cool and calm and so brilliantly artistic that i think hansol is a great fit for her. i had to give her 2 minus 1 for reasons. i'm pretty sure she gets it.

@kimtaegis as dino / anyone: last but not least. i think that there is a quiet perseverance and stubbornness in annie that has made her resilient and stronger than she would ever admit or even realize. yet, she has a soft core that is, i think, much like chan's and deserves to be filled up to the brim with love. anyone was her most played song of 2021, and i think those cool movie vibes of the song really suit her! annie always looks like she stepped straight off a movie set.

#ask #anon #i love all my mutuals so sorry if you are not among these 12 <333333333
